I personally loved it, I thought it was the best issue of Superman comics in general since Morrisons braniac arc at the beginning of the New 52. The only complaint that i had was with Lois Lane having the capability to hack the military network.
How did you feel about Action Comics 19?
I in delight.The most best of all the comic book Superman at New 52.
@lightsout said:
VERY good...though bitter sweet given the quality will (likely) only last this short arc.
Bittersweet is the perfect word to describe this issue.

It was pretty good. The art was the best part for me, but it was all pretty great :) Sad that it likely won't last long.
Single best Superman issue of the New 52. Diggle knows the characters perfectly.
Good issue, but I'm cautious and have reservations with how they are portraying Lex.

Loading... The Finkler Question (edition 2011)by Howard Jacobson
Work detailsThe Finkler Question by Howard Jacobson
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. I'm somewhat lost for words to describe this book. I do not know what I taken away from reading it. I know I now have doubts about the validity of book awards in respect of representing any understanding of what makes for a good book. I know I have an interest in reading more about the Jewish faith. I certainly know that many other reviews have come to a conclusion similar to my own that I somehow feel excluding from really appreciating the depths and quality of this book by, as Treslove, not being myself a Jew. I have no doubt Jacobson writes well and has the ability to convey some very interesting ideas. However, I don't think 'The Finkler Question' has the qualities to make it a book likely to appeal to a wide audience. I can certainly understand why other readers struggled to complete it, though I didn't have as hard a job here as I did when reading 'Catch-22'. Sometimes I smiled, and certainly I have come away with some new thoughts to pursue - but, I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone without making it really clear what they're letting themselves in for. I found this book very hard to get into, and difficult to relate to. Liked the way you saw events from various different character's view points, but didn't understand them. This was a deeply disappointing book. I bought it on spec as the winner of the Man Booker prize, but it failed to deliver. The first half of the book seems to be a running Woody Allen gag. I can only sparingly enjoy Woody Allen, and half a book of morbid self-reflection dressed up as humour was well beyond my limit. Then the second half of the book turns dark - same obsessive self-reflection, but lacking the humour. I started to miss the first half of the book. Surely all Jewish people are not like this? Woody Allen is a caricature, isn't he? Don't they have lives, and careers and children and mortgages to shape them into normal, rounded personalities? Read January 2015. Very funny indeed! Thoughtful, clever, a bit uneven. Great reading. The worst book I've read this year. How it won the Man Booker Prize, I'll never know. I have a hundred page rule, which is that if I am over 100 pages into a book I finish it. I will be reviewing that rule now. It was such a grind to finish this book. And to think I was looking forward to it simply because the author is articulate and witty in person. Perhaps it was simply the theme of the book that bored me?
Fans of Howard Jacobson might be alarmed to discover that the main character in his latest novel is a Gentile. As it turns out, though, they needn't worry. Julian Treslove may not be Jewish, but in most other respects he's a typical Jacobson protagonist: a middle-aged man much given to tears, self-interrogation, a sense of imminent doom, falling heavily in love and regarding his male friends as his male rivals. Above all, he's obsessed with Jews and Jewishness. The Finkler Question (longlisted for this year's Man Booker prize) is full of wit, warmth, intelligence, human feeling and understanding. It is also beautifully written with that sophisticated and near invisible skill of the authentic writer. Technically the characterisation is impeccable, the prose a subtle delight, the word selection everywhere perfect, the phrase-making fresh and arresting without self-consciousness. Indeed, there's so much that is first rate in the manner of Jacobson's delivery that I could write all day on his deployment of language without once mentioning what the book is about. A single line describing the hero's father will have to do: "a man who stood so straight that he created a kind of architectural silence around himself". The Finkler Question is very funny, utterly original, and addresses a topic of contemporary fascination. That is to say, it is about the anguish of middle-aged men, it consists of a series of loosely arranged episodes rich in argument and incident, and it examines how Jews now interrogate their relations with Israel. It puts in play a gentile fascinated by Jews, and his two Jewish friends, one a Zionist comfortable in London, and the other an anti-Zionist comfortable in his outrage. They engage with each other in sometimes moving, sometimes bathetic ways, making their own journeys of self-understanding while they exasperatedly strive to educate each other. The anti-Zionist Jew is called Finkler, hence the title of the novel. The "question" of "Finkler" is today's version of the "Jewish question". At the end of the 19th century, Jews asked of themselves, and were asked, "What is the future of the Jewish people?" At the end of the 20th century, this question had been reformulated as "What is the future of the Jewish state?" In Jacobson's book, Finkler dwells among those miscellaneous Jews who answer the question in versions of condemnation of Israel, Zionism, and Judaism. The Finkler Question is a terrifying and ambitious novel, full of dangerous shallows and dark, deep water. It takes in the mysteries of male friendship, the relentlessness of grief and the lure of emotional parasitism. In its insistent interrogation of Jewishness – from the exploration of the relationship between the perpetrators of violence and hatred and their victims, to the idea of the individual at once in opposition to and in love with his or her culture – it is by turns breezily open and thought-provokingly opaque, and consistently wrong-foots the reader. For Treslove, the committed shape-shifter with little really at stake, such demands unsurprisingly prove rather too much. "Would he ever get to the bottom," he wonders, "of the things Finklers did and didn't do?"
No descriptions found. Julian Treslove, a radio producer, and Samuel Finkler, a Jewish philosopher, have been friends since childhood and, as they enter middle age, they reminisce over their struggles with self-identity, anti-Semitism, women, love, and the past. (summary from another edition) |

California Golden Bears (13-4)
@Oregon Ducks (11-5)
Sunday, January 08
Matthew Knight Arena
Attendance: 7,415
Eugene, OR (Sports Network) - Allen Crabbe put together a double-double consisting of 26 points and 12 rebounds as he led the California Golden Bears to a 77-60 win over the Oregon Ducks in Pac-12 Conference play at Matthew Knight Arena.
Also scoring in double figures for the Golden Bears (13-4, 3-1 Pac-12) were Jorge Gutierrez and Justin Cobbs with 18 and 15 points, respectively, while Richard SOlomon contributed with 10 rebounds and three blocked shots as the visitors picked up their third win in the last four outings.
The Ducks (11-5, 2-2) were paced by Devoe Joseph who dropped in 14 points and pulled down six rebounds, followed by E.J. Singler and Olu Ashaolu with 12 and 10 points, respectively, in the team's second loss in three contests.
Oregon managed to pull out to a five-point lead about four minutes into the first half, but the hosts ended up shooting just 31.3 percent from the floor and 1-of-6 behind the three-point line in the period, allowing the Bears to post a 30-27 advantage at the break.
In the second half Cal exploded for 60.0 percent accuracy from the field, converting 5-of-7 beyond the arc and connecting on all six free-throw attempts in the double-digit road win.
Oregon, which lost the battle of the boards by a 40-33 margin, turned the ball over 14 times on the night.

San Francisco -- Picture South Africa! Majestic elephants, giraffes, lions, and leaping impalas on safari! Colorful dances! Sparkling sand beaches, and the lush, fertile green of the genteel wine country. International tourists relaxing poolside at spotless resorts.
Maybe that's not your image. Maybe you think of reverent portraits of the liberator Nelson Mandela, posters of fists raised in freedom salutes, massed choruses singing the rich rainbow harmonies of the New Afrika.
The 25 artists and collectives represented in Public Intimacy: Art and Other Ordinary Acts in South Africa, on view only through June 29th at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in Downtown San Francisco, have a pointedly different outlook. Their focus is on "close views, small actions or gestures that occur in public," serving to redefine how people move and interact in a society that badly needed some re-ordering of priorities. This is no rose-tinted propaganda for anyone or anything except the ecstatic celebration of freedom's voice.
Public Intimacy is not outwardly political, but it raises questions about the legacy not only of apartheid but of the freedom struggle itself. Today's generation has left behind the sacrosanct image of Nelson Mandela and his allies, the latter -- some of them -- looking a little tarnished amidst the opportunities that have opened up to them. In one image of a mock McDonald's with the famous double arch, the eatery is named "Mandela's," where "the revolution will be merchandized." In another image, a rear view mirror draped in the colors of the South African flag, the motto reads: "Past performance is no guarantee of future results." No illusions, no myths, are sacrosanct within these artists' field of vision. If failures and realities are out there for the eye to see, they will be documented by every contemporary medium.
Photography and video are dominant here, but also sculpture, installation, beadwork, painting, drawing, tapestry, comics, zines, and intermittent editions from the Chimurenga collective publishing enterprise. What is the role of media? When is it appropriate to voice criticism, and when to temper or withhold it? In such a fast-moving society, Public Intimacy poses the question, What does it actually mean to be a full citizen of South Africa?
Significantly, the exhibition casts an eye back to some seminal photographers who during the apartheid era dared to click their cameras around the corners and below the surfaces of racial separation. Such artists as Ernest Cole, Billy Monk, and David Goldblatt created a transgressive documentation of the underground intercultural and interracial relations that managed to find expression below the radar of the security state. In Ian Berry's 1959 photo spread for Drum magazine, we see images of Cape Town's down-low drag balls populated by insouciant, defiant, courageous cross-dressers and their suitors. Berry, incidentally, was the only photographer at the 1960 Sharpeville Massacre.
We see a powerful urge to document lesbian life in South Africa, especially in the wake of horrifying, and sometimes publicized "curative" rapes and honor killings that tragically belie the nation's advanced thinking as reflected in its new Constitution.
Santu Mofokeng quietly and devastatingly photographs the contours of an earth subjected to abuse by mining, by the encroachment of industry, the new wastelands of climate change and pollution.
Xenophobia is one of South Africa's big problems, the often violent responses to working people from elsewhere in the continent who go there to seek their fortune. Several art works address this. Others depict women's and men's hostels, sad, impersonal compounds of same-sex communities of industrial laborers, where nonetheless life exerts itself, friendships form, new stories are told.
Despite the everyday unnecessary tragedies, there reigns here a spirit of wanting to emphasize positive life, intimacy among friends and lovers, the joy of freedom.
Be advised: This installation is massive. You'll want to devote a minimum two hours to exploring its mesmerizing byways, escaping into the inner soul of a nation being exuberantly reborn. Be sure to check out the videos: one about Zanele Muholi's photography documentation project, another featuring magnificent charcoal drawings by William Kentridge called Tide Table, and a project with the Handspring Puppet Company (which created the 2007 War Horse stage production) called Or You Could Kiss Me, whose original puppets are also on display here.

Sheriff's Office Maryland Community Services Locator (MDCSL) Imigration and Customs Carroll County Coalition |
FingerprintingIn early 2012, the Department of Justice notified Maryland law enforcement agencies that they would no longer accept rolled ink fingerprint cards and agencies submitting fingerprints would have to transition to an electronic LiveScan fingerprinting system. Out of the 26 Maryland public locations with the LiveScan system, there were none located in Carroll County. With approved funding from the Carroll County Board of Commissioners, the Carroll County Sheriff's Office was able to purchase one of these systems thereby reducing the inconvenience for both citizens and employers by creating a local location to get Federal and State fingerprints scanned. HOURS OF OPERATION Our hours of operation for fingerprinting are now Wednesdays, 9am through 3pm. No appointment is necessary unless you are a business sending multiple people in for prints or you need ink prints – in these cases; please see below for further instructions. Due to volunteer availability, these Wednesday hours are the only times we are able to complete electronic fingerprinting for the general public. If you are not available during these hours, please contact Essential Support Services LLC. in Eldersburg at 1-866-388-9606 to have them service your request. BUSINESSES Businesses or Organizations with multiple applicants to be fingerprinted via LiveScan are requested to call ahead to set up an appointment. For expedited LiveScan service, please complete, print and bring the PRE-REGISTRATION FINGERPRINT APPLICATION with you when you come to the Sheriff's Office to be fingerprinted. INK PRINTS OR CARDS We DO NOT roll ink prints on Wednesdays. You must call 410-386-2835 and leave a message to set an appointment to have ink prints rolled. You MUST have an appointment to have ink cards completed. Walk-ins will not be accepted. The fee for rolled ink prints is $5.00 per card. A check or money order can be made payable to the Carroll County Sheriff's Office. WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING
FEES These scans are sent directly to the State and/or FBI, therefore we will need to collect these fees and our rolling fee prior to being fingerprinted. These fees vary depending on the reasons for your fingerprinting. Click this FEE SCHEDULE for a breakdown of the various fees. We can only accept Cash, Checks and Money Orders. If paying by check or money order, you will need to bring two; one will be made payable to the Commissioners of Carroll County in the amount as designated by the FEE SCHEDULE. The other will be made payable to the Carroll County Sheriff's Office in the amount of $10.00 (rolling fee). If your organization has pre-registered with us AND you have a form with the signature of an AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE, the company will be billed for all fees. |

GoPro Surges on Prospects Everyone Will Soon Own an Wearable Camera
NEW YORK (The Street) -- GoPro
(GPRO) was surging Tuesday after a report by the technology-focused investment firm JMP declared that the wearable camera maker has yet to take advantage of a myriad of growth opportunities within an industry estimated as $70 billion.
Shares of the San Mateo, Calif-based image capture and sharing company were rising 5.4% to $38.83 as JMP initiated coverage of the stock with a $60 price target and a forecast that shares will outperform most equities.
GoPro can generate advertising revenue through its own GoPro YouTube (GOOG) Channel advertising as well as through content created with GoPro products such as its cameras and other camcorder accessories, JMP senior research analyst Alex Gauna said in a July 15 report.
"Our positive investment stance is predicated on the view that first mover and financial advantages will allow it to capitalize on a multitude of underpenetrated and/or untapped opportunities to monetize its technology and brand," Gauna wrote.
Why GoPro (GPRO) Stock Is Up Today
GoPro Sets IPO Price Range In Amended S-1GoPro completed its IPO transaction on June 25 and, according to JMP, can growth revenue by 22% in 2014. Gauna expects another 22% revenue growth in 2015, thereby reaching $1.5 billion in sales and $2 billion in sales by 2016. Targeting action enthusiasts, GoPro develops and produces image capture and sharing technology. The company's products also include a YouTube Channel under the brand's name which scored the most hits among branded YouTube channels in the first quarter 2014. GoPro sold over 8.5 million motion capture devices and its YouTube channel reached more than 450 million views - channel views saw a growth revenue at a 149% compound annual growth rate from 2010 to 2013. GoPro won an Emmy for technical achievement, and is the U.S. market share leader in camcorders.
"We feel its market vision and execution have established GoPro as a durable multimedia and active lifestyle brand," Gauna wrote. -- Written by Kathryn Mykleseth in New York

In the long term, 2009 is likely to be known as the year that a commercial framework emerged around the Open source Hadoop framework for map-reduce.

Which is better Hyper-V version deploy for production environments? For a traditional server based virtualization project, it makes financial sense to deploy Datacenter, and this is most likely the case for a hybrid deployment of Server and Desktop devices. However, for raw VDI and Open source deployments, it is obviously more fiscally prudent to utilise the free version which has been available for over a year.
In the article End-to-End Virtual Machine Backup I mentioned the new VMware Workstation 7.0 feature that creates an encrypted disk but in reality it is an encrypted virtual machine, which also implies encrypting the virtual disk. This one option to VMware Workstation is something that is needed within VMware vSphere as well as the other hypervisors. Encrypting virtual disk data can add to the overall security stance based on the encryption technology employed. So what do we need with virtual disk encryption?

VMware Buys Zimbra from Yahoo – Moves Up the Stack into Applications
• • 3 Comments
If VMware buys Zimbra it will set off a a nuclear hand grenade throwing contest between Microsoft and VMware. Microsoft is trying to commoditize the layer of software where VMware makes all of its money – the hypervisor. VMware is returning the favor by using open source initiatives like SpringSource and (possibly) Zimbra to commoditize the layers where Microsoft makes all of its money – applications and applications platforms.
Quite a bit has gone on in our industry in the last year. While this is not intended to be a comprehensive review of all that has occurred, we hope that we have captured the important events that have shaped virtualization and cloud computing.
Indeed a challenge in migrating to a Hosted Virtual Desktop (HVD) solution is what to do with existing devices. Citrix's High Definition User EXperience (HDX) technologies for example, typically relies on the end device supporting a Microsoft Windows operating system to deliver the best user experience. If that is the case, how will you manage the end device that delivers the user's HVD? Vendors such as DevonIT, Igel, and 10ZiG would naturally suggest you replace your traditional PC with a Thin Client: vendors such as PanoLogic, Teradici and Wyse would highlight the advantages of Zero Client devices – yet moving away from existing devices is a costly exercise in terms of providing replacement devices. And indeed – still does not address off-line working.
VMware is today a product, the start of an architecture and almost certainly a culture. How this changes as VMware adapts in order to continue to grow and drive its market share will be interesting to watch. A great deal of very technically competent people have become part of the VMware ecosystem because VMware is both difficult t to fully master completely and because it drives great benefits to the enterprises that adopt it and the service providers that implement it.
The team at Sun continue to update VirtualBox – 3 releases in 1 month. Of these the 3.0.12 release (November 17) and the 3.1.2 release (December 17) were maintenance releases with bug-fixes, whereas the 3.1.0 release (November 30) was a fairly substantial release containing new features, including Live Migration.
Just as Milton Friedman (the Nobel prize winning economist) once said "There is no such thing as a free lunch", there is also no such thing as free software. The minimum cost of a supposedly free piece of software is the opportunity cost of your time spent using it, and the forgone value of that time spent doing something else. Therefore neither Microsoft Hyper-V, nor VMware ESXi are really free.

Hedge funds were bathed in red in June, as all but a handful of strategies suffered losses.
The average hedge fund fell 1.31% last month, according to Hedge Fund Research's HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index. The benchmark is up 3.59% on the year.
Among major strategies, emerging markets hedge funds were hardest-hit, falling 3.96% in June (down 0.28% year-to-date). Macro dropped 1.45% (down 0.35% YTD), equity hedge 1.37% (up 5.34% YTD), event-driven 1.16% (up 5.44% YTD) and relative-value 0.93% (up 3.26% YTD).
Among substrategies, there were a handful of winners last month—yield alternatives rose 1.65% (12.41% YTD), short-bias 0.74% (down 9.96% YTD), technology and healthcare 0.65% (9.21% YTD) and equity market-neutral 0.43% (3.34% YTD). But they were vastly outnumbered by the losers.
Asia ex-Japan funds lost 5.74% on the month (up 0.86% YTD) and Latin America funds 5.15% (down 5.43% YTD). Russia and Eastern Europe funds dropped 2.78% (down 2.99% YTD) and global funds 2.38% (up 0.87% YTD).

Corporate fixed-income shed 2.66% (up 0.7% YTD), systematic diversified 1.79% (down 0.51% YTD), multi-strategy relative-value 1.42% (up 3.93% YTD) and distressed and restructuring 1.18% (up 6.84% YTD). Merger arbitrage fell 0.49% (up 1.21% YTD), convertible arbitrage 0.4% (up 4.94% YTD) and quantitative directional 0.31% (up 4.9% YTD).

The camouflage color was perfect but the seat does not fit an elongated toilet. It was two inches too short. I would not recommend this seat for an elongated toilet. Great idea and would have been perfect for our son's man bathroom but the seat just didn't measure up!!! Too bad!!!
Not true to size, Elongated seat, but short by about 1 inch. I guess all toilets are not created equal!

A dress photo could mean big online business for a UK retailer
Women's clothing brand Roman Originals has been inundated by calls since the photo became the center of an online debate.

Boom in Q4 e-shopping will present a whole new set of challenges to online merchants and their fulfillment providers
Through the end of September, online sales volume is up 30% over last year to $29.7 billion. And that growth is expected to at least hold, if not accelerate, through the end of the year. At that rate, U.S. consumers will spend $44 billion online this year, comScore Media Metrix projects. And at Media Metrix's average of $105 per purchase, that translates into nearly 420 million orders. That's a lot of packages.
It's only going to go up from here, experts say. In five years, online spending will account for 8% of retail sales and reach $164 billion, Forrester Research Inc. projects. So it's no surprise that providers of fulfillment services are expecting boom times ahead. Gone is the gloom of two years ago, when the Internet investment bubble burst and many retailers and associated service providers wondered what the future of online shopping would be. "With more people turning to the web for shopping, how could this be a bad place to be?" says Connie Warner, president and COO of Bradley Direct, an outsourced fulfillment provider based in Midland, Ga. "As the industry continues to evolve with electronic commerce leading the way, outsourcing will become even more prominent."
Estimates of the size of outsourced fulfillment services vary. Some experts put the size of the market at $3 billion right now and say it will be a $9 billion market in five years. Warner is expecting even more dramatic growth. She cites industry reports that estimate 10-15% of the market today uses outsourced fulfillment services and that proportion could rise to as high as 50% five years from now. "Why should all the traditional retailers who are turning to new channels re-invent the wheel?" she says.
In it for the long haul
In many ways, the evolution of Bradley Direct, a division of the 117-year-old W.C. Bradley Co., reflects the recent evolution of the retailing industry. The company started 25 years ago as part of Bradley's Charbroil grill operation providing warranty services. The business grew from there to providing parts for grills, then it grew further to mailing and fulfilling orders for the Grill Lover's catalog. In the early 1990s, it launched the Sugar Hill catalog, focusing on hand-painted furniture, gifts and collectibles. By 1999, with years of fulfillment experience and with online shopping ready to boom, Bradley Direct became a third-party fulfillment company.
Unlike others at the time, though, Bradley Direct did not get caught up in the frenzy. For one thing, it stayed away from start-ups. "We wanted to know that when we made the investment to bring a client on board they were going to be with us for the long haul," Warner says. Further, it made the decision to fund its growth from internal resources. "I wasn't spending my time looking for venture capital," she says.
Today, Bradley Direct operates a 175,000-square-foot distribution center with a 200-seat call center at Bradley's 80-acre corporate headquarters. Unlike other third-party fulfillment companies, Bradley Direct has no intention of opening distribution centers around the country. Two-thirds of the population lives in the eastern half of the U.S. and the company's Georgia location is well situated to serve them as well as the rest of the country, Warner says.
Bradley Direct's typical customer today ships at least 100,000 packages a year. The company still fulfills for the Grill Lover's catalog and web site. Other customers include Touchstone Inc. home decor retailer, Junonia Ltd., which sells to women size 14 or larger over the web and through a catalog, Ranger Boats apparel and Habitat for Humanity's logo merchandise and books.
Pressure to perform
As the holiday shopping season approaches, Warner says Bradley Direct is ready for the anticipated continued strong performance of e-retailing, having staffed up earlier in the year for expected increases in business.
Nonetheless, if this year's holiday sales grow as projected, retailers will be under immense pressure to perform well. Because the traditional start of the holiday shopping season-the Friday after Thanksgiving-falls so late in the month-Nov. 29-the season will be compressed into an incredible 20 days at the most. By contrast, assuming a cutoff date of Dec. 18, the 2000 shopping season was 25 days and last year's was 26.
And while many online retailers plan incentives that will encourage early shopping, many consumers just aren't in the mood to buy until Thanksgiving is over. Thus retailers and their fulfillment vendors will have to brace themselves for an onslaught. Jupiter Research Inc., however, is pessimistic that retailers will be prepared. "Despite a shorter, more intense selling season this year, just under half of site operators Jupiter interviewed have done absolutely nothing to reinforce their infrastructure in preparation for the holiday season," Jupiter says in its "Mitigating Risk During the 2002 Holiday Season" report. "To avoid disaster, companies must ensure marketing and technology teams are in sync, review escalation procedures with third-party service providers, and consider performance optimization vendors and usability tuning." Fulfillment suppliers are particularly crucial because it is on them that timely delivery depends.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Project Drive haul: 24,744 fines
If each ticket is worth $200, that's $5M for city, province
A special police traffic-enforcement project -- conceived last year by city hall to earn more ticket revenue -- saw 24,744 tickets issued during its seven-month period, police statistics say.
Thirty people were arrested on outstanding warrants, 12 drivers were charged with Criminal Code offences, four impaired drivers were taken off the road and three people were charged with drug possession.
Police released the results of Project Drive Friday after criticism the enforcement blitz racked up $860,000 in overtime and turned police officers into tax collectors.
Traffic unit Staff Sgt. Rob Riffel said more than half of the tickets issued during Project Drive were for speeding violations.
"Just under 15,000 of them were for speeding and just under 4,000 of them were for disobeying a traffic-control device like a stop sign and a red light," Riffel said. "This was safety-driven, in our mind. Anytime I can get more officers out on the road doing traffic enforcement, I think it's a win for everybody."
It won't be known how much revenue was generated by Project Drive until each ticket goes through the fine-payment and court system.
However, if the average traffic fine is $200, Project Drive will earn about $5 million before overtime costs are subtracted. The city will see one-third of the final revenue, with the rest going to the provincial government and court costs.
Riffel also said Project Drive was not about issuing as many tickets as possible -- officers did not have quotas -- but how many hours or extra shifts police devoted to the project, which started in May and ended in November.
"The target wasn't the number of tags, it was a target of how many days and how many hours we wanted to put into this," he said. "Basically, it was 120 days of 10-hour deployments of 10 officers. It was basically adding another traffic shift on those days."
Non-central traffic officers who volunteered to work overtime on traffic duty worked an extra 67 10-hour shifts. The rest of the extra 120 shifts were worked by officers from the traffic unit. Overtime pay for an officer is time-and-a-half for a 10-hour shift.
Officers who worked overtime doing traffic duty came mostly from the traffic unit and frontline general patrol units from around the city.
"There were some members from the street-crime unit and from our tactical unit," Riffel said. "This is all people off duty. This is all voluntary overtime. These were people who were off-duty who had the training to do traffic enforcement. You need the skill set to do this."
The initial results of Project Drive were obtained by traffic activist Todd Dube of WiseUp Winnipeg through a Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act request. The documents reveal the total regular overtime cost for Project Drive from June to November last year was $859,522.56.
Dube also said Project Drive was a symptom of a traffic-enforcement program that unfairly hands out tickets at certain locations where there is improper signage or where the posted speed limit should be higher.
Riffel said Project Drive was designed to be cost-neutral: The cost of extra traffic enforcement and overtime would not come out of the police budget, but from fine revenue.
"It would not cost the city or the service any money, but we were going to get that extra enforcement out there," he said. "We understand there's a gap in our traffic enforcement and we came up with a way to augment that."
Riffel also said he was not in a position to comment on who ordered Project Drive, other than it came from the police executive.
Breakdown of tickets
Speeding: 14,462
Disobey traffic-control device: 3,915
Seatbelt inoperable: 5
Driver fails to wear seatbelt: 1,186
Passenger fails to wear seatbelt: 128
Allow passenger under 18 to not wear seatbelt: 15
Driver permit child improperly restrained: 10
Use of cellphone: 488
Other charges (equipment, turn signals, illegal turns): 4,585
Total of all Project Drive tickets: 24,744

Norway is one of the few last countries on this planet that continues with commercial whaling. The target species is the minke whale. These whales migrate every summer to the northern Atlantic to feed on small fish and krill. This year the whalers started 1 of April and shot already 3 whales in the Vestfjord. They shot the whales even though they could not sell the meat because all fish factories are still buying cod. The whalers have to wait until the fish factories cleaned their facilities to receive whale meat. This year's quota for minke whales that can be shot close to shore in Norway is 750 animals and 135 whales around Jan Mayen. The minimum prize for a kilo whale meat is 30,50 kr.
This year the zonification is taken away, which means that all those minke whales can be shot in the Vestfjord.
Let us hope the whalers show some respect for tourism and research and won't shoot a whale again directly in front of our boat. Our proposal for communication and cooperation was rejected with the words that they are not interested because they were there first and have the right to shoot the whales. If our tourists don't like it, they should travel to other countries. We will try to communicate with them again and calm the waves.

Heike Vester received the prize for the best business woman in Nordland for 2008. The prize was given by the local government and consisted of a piece of Art (glass painting), a beautiful flower bouquet and a check of 30 000 kr. I was extremely honoured by the nomination and want to thank the people that nominated me! Thank you for believing in my work and for supporting my goals!

New season 2009
After a long break since November 2008 we will open again on 1 of May 2009. I started a new project in Patagonia in Chile, studying whales and spend January-March over there.
We also launched a new website, which we currently still work on, but we hope it will be more structured and you will enjoy it.
The last Orca season was devastating, hardly any orcas came into the Vestfjord and if they did, they never stayed for long. In addition the bad weather conditions during the winter months made it almost impossible to study these animals. I have therefore decided to stop our winter program on Lofoten and instead spend my time in Patagonia to study whales there.
However, we will work all summer from May to the end of September and hope to find many whales and dolphins during in the Vestfjord. Our boat is currently in service to check that everything is safe.
The first safari will start 1 of May if the weather allows it.

Sony Movie Channel HD added to DIRECTV Line Up
- Sony Movie Channel HD added to DIRECTV Lineup
According to the Sports Business Journal, DIRECTV is introducing a new packaging tier in order to further meet the demands and pricing of their customers in this dour economy. This affordable, low cost tier, labeled the Select Package, will be available in fourteen small metro and rural markets. This package will offer 120 channels for $45 per month. This package will include all the major sports channels, including ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN 3D, as well as local broadcasters and sports/television hybrids such as TBS, TNT and HDNET. The package will also include the new
Sony Movie Channel
HD, which launched earlier this month. While it may not be indicative of DIRECTV's pricing structure in the future, it is an excellent move designed to help struggling families receive better pricing and more selective channels. It also fits strongly with the satellite providers recent focus on regional marketing, and provides a counter to DISH and cable's pricing changes.
The Sony Movie Channel will feature movies in stunning high definition from Sony Pictures exclusive library, a total of 3,500 motion pictures. This includes award winning cinema, cult classics, humorous family comedies, and gripping dramas. Some of the critically acclaimed movies that will be featured this fall are Philadelphia, The Graduate, Das Boot, and In The Company Of Men. Designed and catered to the Hollywood movie buff, the Sony Movie Channel will further buoy DIRECTV's already stellar movie packages. The channel is owned by Sony Pictures Television and will show each commercial free, picture uncut, and remastered in 1080i high definition.
As an independent channel, the Sony Movie Channel is not a premium service that requires extra cost to own. As part of the basic high definition tier, it does not compete with the likes of HBO, Showtime, or Starz. Earlier this year, three other prominent studios in Hollywood - Paramount, Lionsgatae, and MGM, chose to team up to create the Epix movie channel, but chose to charge subscribers for that service, whereas Sony did not. Sony's venture is financially a rather modest plunge, hoping to gain consumer loyalty rather than seek an immediate profit. The Sony Movie Channel can be found on channel 563 in DIRECTV's high definition lineup. Don't miss the best movies from DIRECTV. Call 866-310-4985 to order today.

The woeful Arizona Cardinals going up against the Detroit Lions will at least have one aspect to focus on, and that's the matchup between Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson and Lions receiver Calvin Johnson.
Peterson say he's ready for him, and that he'll show everybody come Sunday who the best cornerback in the league.
"I think I am the best cornerback in the league right now," Peterson told reporters during in a conference call.
"You know, me and Calvin, we're the same caliber players," he said. "You know, just he's a receiver and I'm a DB. I just think going against him each and every play is definitely going to get me notoriety as being one of the best corners in the game, especially if I do what I need to do on Sunday.
"Honestly, I would like to go one-on-one as much as I can, you know? But I believe we have a pretty good game plan and I think we'll be ready for whatever those guys throw at us on Sunday."
While Peterson aknowledged Johnson as a premier receiver, he feels he's right behind his teammate Larry Fitzgerald. "He's second in my book behind Larry," Peterson said.

On Thursday, April 20 at 7:00 p.m., Midwest Magic, Franklin Park, Illinois is proud to present:
STEFFAN SOULE: Theatrical Magic-Close-Up and Stage.
Steffan Soule's magic is recognized with a Kennedy Center Award and is featured on the TV special Masters of Illusion. He starred in the longest running magic show on the West Coast, "Mysterian", and designed the two theatres (close up theatre and grand illusion stage) at Illusionz. He has twice been featured in Magic Magazine and has performed magic full time since he was old enough to work. Steffan has created numerous original magic routines for close-up and stage and has worked with John Gaughan and Bill Smith to create one-of-a-kind grand illusions like "Hands of the Clock" and "The Hourglass". Steffan will perform some of the close-up and stage magic for which he is best known. He will then explain the inner workings of his effects completely and in great detail.
Steffan will show the magic from the Kennedy Center Award winning play, "Still Life with Iris" and discuss the project that is based on his original illusions. He will show excerpts from "Mysterian" and demonstrate the very best system to trigger sound and lights for close up or stage magic. Magic routines you can walk away with from this lecture include: The incredible combination of Further Than That with the Vernon Poker Demonstration.
The Ring and the Rope (the best routine you have ever seen, close-up and stage version, all ages). The Rope Escape: An original and impossible escape from ropes, jacket and tambourines.
A Signed Bill in Lemon for stage that has become a signature piece for corporate clients.
The right way to make the Gene Anderson Torn & Restored Newspaper.
Two Cards to Envelope & Fruit Fly: Stage effects from Steinmeyer with the Soule polish.

Obama's CTO Search Narrows: Report
Barack Obama is close to appointing his government IT guru, according to a report in Business Week, which says that the President-elect has narrowed the field to two candidates.
Representing corporate America is Padmasree Warrior, the chief technology officer (CTO) of networking giant Cisco Systems (CSCO - Get Report), while Vivek Kundra, the CTO of Washington D.C., is touted as the public sector's leading candidate for the job.
( Photo gallery: Obama Takes Office)
Both executives have strong credentials. Warrior, for example, is the former CTO at Motorola (MOT), where she oversaw a $3.7 billion research and development budget, and a team of 24,000 engineers. Since joining Cisco in 2007, she has been heavily involved in the tech giant's internal restructuring, as well as fulfilling an IT evangelist's role, both inside and outside the company.
Like the president elect, Warrior has strong links with Chicago, having served on the mayor's technology council, as well as on the boards of the city's Joffrey Ballet and Museum of Science and Technology. With Cisco aiming to cut its expenses for fiscal 2009 by more than $1 billion, now would not be a good time for the firm to lose its tech guru. The company's CEO John Chambers, for example, is a major advocate of Web 3.0 technologies such as social networking to foster innovation, boost productivity and reduce corporate travel. Chambers, however, is no stranger to the political world, and was even cited as a potential member of a John McCain cabinet, so is unlikely to stand in Warrior's way if she is selected.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Sega Touring Car Championship (Saturn) review"The Saturn has been home to many a racing title, mostly created by Sega's own departments. They all tend to vary in quality, but regardless, each of those titles are memorable for something. Daytona USA, the big one, is a flawed port, but still enjoyable thanks to fun play mechanics, good track design, cool bonuses, and a great, cheesy soundtrack. Sega Rally Championship is known as a solid port, despite suffering from being too much of a straight one. Manx TT has sheep. You get the point. So wh..." |

PickHut never intended to review Contra 4. He got it to kill some time before the US release of 3D After Burner II came out on the eShop. He was really looking forward to playing it.... |

Family, friends and loved ones gathered together Monday night to pay tribute to an 18-year-old girl killed after a car slammed into a hydro pole in Vaughan Sunday night.
Police said the car was heading south on Dufferin Street when the driver lost control and hit a pole north of Major MacKenzie Drive around 11:30 p.m.
All three girls inside were 18 years old.
The front seat passenger was pronounced dead at the scene. She has been identified as Alessia Morisani. The driver was taken to hospital with critical injuries.
A third woman riding in the backseat suffered minor injuries.
Police still don't know what caused the driver to lose control. An investigation is ongoing.
"Road conditions were ideal, so they were dry. Weather was not a factor at this time for the collision. However speed was identified as a factor for this collision," said Sgt. Roman Santos of York Region Police.
Morisani was remembered fondly by those who knew her.
"She was a very, very sweet kid. Special," said Suzy Arkarakas, a friend of Morisani's mother.
"She was friends with everybody, she never talked bad about anybody," said Morisani's friend Manny.
