WordPress Landing Pages by Premise. The Sciences and Disciplines of Web Site Optimization. Bryan Eisenberg | January 2, 2009 | 1 Comment inShare1 If you are struggling in your optimization efforts, it might be time to examine your tools.
In the column, "Calling You to Action," I covered the basics of optimizing the calls to action on your site. The column prompted this comment from "Florida Design" that appears on our blog: Calling You to Action. Bryan Eisenberg | December 19, 2008 | 0 Comments inShare0 How well do your CTAs convert visitors?
Ten tips for improving your calls to action. Hanging out at SES Chicago last week, I spent some time with Stewart Quealy, VP of content development for SES, who told me that he enjoyed my last column about the power of a great unique value proposition. He suggested that as more new faces begin to adopt conversion rate optimization, some may not be as familiar with the fundamentals as many of us are. The Conversion Optimisation Toolbox. A bad workman blames his tools.
A good workman makes sure his tools allow his abilities to shine. Every person who wants to be at the top end of their profession has to have a great set of tools: for a Michelin starred chef it could be the sharpest knives money can buy, for a Premiership footballer it's boots which employ all the latest performance enhancing technology, for a concert pianist it's the Steinway or Bosendorfer grand piano. Conversion rate optimisation is all about a fine blend of science and art, analysing opportunities and finding the most creative solution to help boost a site's efficiency.
It requires a broad skill base, which covers both the creative and analytical aspects of web marketing, and as such, the tools which can help an optimisation project can cover a whole host of areas. Unfolding the Fold. Note: Since posting the data in this article, we have collected and analyzed much more detailed information regarding scrolling behavior of visitors.
The research below reveals information about the location of the fold as well as some basic information about visitors' scrolling behavior. For more advanced research about statistical models for page scrolling behavior and visitor attention at each point in the page, please see the more recent research we have published in 2007 (ClickTale Scrolling Research Report V2.0 - part 1 and part 2). Web designers and usability professionals have debated the topic of web page scrolling since 1994.
At the early days of the web, most users were unfamiliar with the concept of scrolling and it was not a natural thing for them to do. As a result, web designers would design web pages so that all the important content would be "Above the fold†or even worse, squeeze the entire page into the initial screen area.
The Brain Audit 3.2: Marketing Strategy and Structure - Psychotactics - Big and Small Business Ideas. (Have you seen your customer ready to sign up, and then mysteriously back away?
Don't you feel like tearing your hair out when customers do that?) Whether this happens online or offline, it's very, very (yes, very) frustrating to have to deal with this situation. And many sales or marketing books talk about how you can entrance the customer, use some crazy, sneaky method. In reality, there's no need to do any of that funny stuff at all. All you need to do is introduce your product/service in the manner the customer expects to see it. 6 Essential PPC Landing Page Optimizations. Your landing pages aren't converting.
Sadly, this is not your customer's fault. It's your job to tell your customers why your product is awesome and you have fewer than five seconds to tell that story. Regardless of whether you're a rookie or veteran marketer, we've assembled the following checklist to help you avoid some of the common pitfalls we see all too often with pay-per-click landing pages. The hope being that you can take some of the recommendations into consideration before you go live with AdWords campaigns of your own. 1) Pre-Populate Cursor – Does your landing page have a form field you want customers to fill out?

Letters to the Editor (Jan. 10)
Larry Jacobsen, Wichita Falls
Ignoring Constitution
Again, Roberta Sund needs to read the Constitution before crossing over from socialistic extremism into lawlessness. Article II, Sec 2 of the Constitution gives the president the power "to fill vacancies when the Senate is in recess by granting commissions which will EXPIRE at the end of the next session." But when Obama made his latest "recess appointments" the Senate was not in recess because Article 1 section 5 says "neither house, during session of Congress shall without consent of the other adjourn for more than three days."
And the house has been keeping Congress in session.
Therefore the president has violated the Constitution and his oath to preserve, protect and defend it. And Ms. Sund encourages more of this lawlessness? We now have the makings of a banana republic (Obama republic) where the rule of law is compromised by the "rulers" subjective whim.
Gerald Parker, Wichita Falls
Worth the wait
We saw with much pride the Rider Band playing in the heavy rain in London in the New Year's Day Parade.
They were great and worth waiting four hours to see.

If Rob Chudzinski is fired, it's just another Browns embarrassment

In a move that is being painted as "Chip Kelly remaking his roster," the Cleveland Browns have acquired running back Dion Lewis from the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for linebacker Emmanuel Acho.

While incapable of comprehensively contextualizing the craze and only somewhat convincing in its portrait of the power of cocktails to reenergize the traditional local-dive scene, the documentary remains a succinct and lively tribute to the art of the drink—not to mention a handy compendium for those seeking a prime NYC joint to quench their thirst.
[A] tidy and ingratiating documentary ode to high-end mixologists.
Jun 5, 2013Watching the documentary Hey Bartender is like spending a night at a good bar: It's fun, easygoing, and it lasts just a little longer than it should. And the conversation, while delightful in the moment, often seems banal the next morning.
For all his attention to the exactitude of creating righteous cocktails, Tirola never quite nails a specific structure, focus or theme.
Sadly, Douglas Tirola's documentary doesn't follow its subjects' advice regarding the refinement of technique.
The film will attract the attention of a public that's increasingly educated about gourmet matters, but leave the most serious viewers unsatisfied. Fatally for a film of this sort, it doesn't leave the viewer wanting a drink.
You're probably better off heading to an actual watering hole than patronizing Douglas Tirola's humdrum doc on the art of the cocktail.
Here's a movie that will test the limits of your ability to watch other people having a good time.
Skip the movie and go buy yourself a drink instead.

What is Audio Memory?
Audio Memory Publishing produces materials that encourage students to teach themselves. With the aid of audio cassettes, sing and point exercises and written work, students are able to use "all avenues to the brain." Learning becomes a painless, fun activity which can be enjoyed individually or in a group.
Why use songs to teach these subjects?
Simple answer: It's a lot more fun.
Scientific answer: Virtually all scientists now agree that reading and singing lyrics while listening to music strengthens the connections between frequently used brain cells. Singing activates both sides of the brain. The brain is a pattern-seeker. Putting information into an organized framework such as a song makes it easier to remember.
Singing prepares students for piano lessons. The latest research shows that taking piano lessons improves spatial-temporal reasoning - skills necessary for science and math. Singing is also good exercise. The deep breathing required of singers increases the amount of oxygen in the body. More oxygen to the brain produces better thinking. Singing lifts our spirits and focuses our attention. It is also especially helpful for students with ADD or other learning problems.

A hop, skip, and a jump to obsolescence
Tomorrow morning, there's going to be a student-led walk-out at UT in protest of the budget cuts, outlined in Timi's entry from last week, that are suspiciously targeting Centers that study minority and marginalized groups. Timi makes a great point about how these budget cuts are an affront to the diversity UT promotes. On a personal note, these budget cuts are an omen of the not-so-sunny future I face as an art historian of Latin American art.
Like Timi, I am also a proud product of a minority-studies undergraduate program. As a Latin American Studies major at the University of Chicago I'm not sure what I would've done without CLAS (Center for Latin American Studies). Not only was there a plethora of courses across disciplines to choose from, but the diversity among the faculty and students was invaluable in my development as an academic.
I'm a big girl and I understand the bottom line. Trust me, I've been in the game long enough to have a response to that question that strikes fear into the heart of any proponent of a humanities-oriented education: what are you going to do with that? The truth is no matter how much time we spend on machines, driving on bridges, and getting heart bypass surgery, a liberal education still matters. Because, in the most fundamental of ways, we still communicate. All the time. Even right now. And moreover, we communicate the same issues and ideas that humanity has tossed around since we were playing with shadows in caves. So philosophy, Latin, and the art of Ancient Rome still matter.
My immediate fear with the proposed budget cuts is that it too is an omen of a not-so-sunny present. First come the most vulnerable Centers of study. Then come foreign languages. Next history. And finally, I become obsolete.

Maryland Passes Minimum Wage Raise, Raised to Over $10.00
In addition to tying the federal minimum wage to inflation, Congressional Democrats want to see an increase in the federal tipped minimum wage (it has been $2.13 since 1991)
The Maryland House of Delegates passed a bill that gradually will raise the state's minimum…

- Hey, I'm back with a nice big update to PSN Download Manager 3.82!
In this release I looked back at feedback, such as Web browsing crashing the proxy etc and many more bugs detected / reported by
who made sure I fixed everything, but without his feedback and contribution I wouldn't of had much of an update to release other than the P2P function with tracker support.
I'm going to film a nice new video for 3.82 as the current version displayed on YouTube is old and outdated by a mile, so when the PS Store is back online I'll film it and update this thread with it.
Today it finally dawned upon on me, that a huge amount of users come from countries which speak; Spanish, German, Dutch, French, Japanese etc and I though wouldn't it be nice, if the main interface was displayed in there natural language? so I implemented support for 10 languages including English, this applies to some messages and the main interface; the login / logout explains it's self and the options are pretty easy to guess, or so I assume
A big feature, available to our premium members is the new, P2P cloud structure aimed for those who find Sony's servers alone just can't reach speeds of over 10Mbps; this will use apache to transfer data between users, linked by a tracker which you can access for only £1.00 a month this covers the cost of our server hosting etc, time to maintain our software and create your accounts
Here is the list of changes, which have been made
Changes from 3.80 -> 3.82
1) Support added for web browsing, some image glitchs (Fixed by disabling .PNG cache)
2) TV on demand is now working (Excluding BBC iPlayer - Unknown reason, BBC's fault.
3) Support for premium member login / logout
4) Displays active seeder count
5) New P2P cloud structure for premium members
6) Features UPnP automatic port forwarding
7) Proxy no longer crashes when launch web / folding at home (F@H won't load work loads still)
8) Several stability changes
9) Intelligent Tracker system, with automatic IP control
10) Integrated Apache server for http file sharing
11) New toolbar at the top, for easy to find controls.
12) Youtube can now be watched
via the browser
13) (New Models) Sony Bravia TV's can connect via the proxy for most services
14) Playstation Portable support has been confirmed (Tried on my PSP)
15) Designed to work with the NGP from Sony (PSN should work the same, in theory.)
16) Added support for 10 languages (Including English)
You can download it now, via our Web site at
- This link helps, support my work by funding, bricked consoles, web hosting and development time
P.S Only bricked one console, by powering off during update by mistake
but it happens from time to time...
I hope you enjoy our product, and in return we'll keep on working away to ensure it's never broken and will always work on the PSN no matter how many firmware releases there are (with the exception Sony block our methods, or remove proxy support; which would be their loss not mine.)
Best Regards,
Pixolia Solutions

Has anyone else had any luck with getting version 4.10 working properly with official firmware 4.41? Can get it to download the package file to the computer, but when it comes to transferring it to the ps3, it will hand on the "Please wait" screen until the ps3 times out even though the file is fully downloaded on the computer.
I have also tried version 3.62 of the download manager (I can't find any of the versions in between still available online). With v3.62, the transfer to the ps3 will start but is painfully slow and will eventually fail about halfway though. I'm running Windows 8 x64, .NET 4.5 full, and Java 7 update 21

Hello Kavechick1,
I must apologize for the delay, I had a really hard time getting the files to compile and have been busy studying at University.
The website will no longer be maintained as it's no longer required to launch the download manager, I was able to strip the security features from the program such as IP Authentication which forced people to download from a specific url or the program wouldn't display an error saying 'Download from Official Site!'
Version 4.10 (Version 4.00 was skipped as it was already made but never released, 4.10 contains several changes implemented by myself.)
Here is a download link:
Also allows me to track download counts, region etc to ensure, everybody knows about the new version.
# Formerly known as Playstation Download Manager 3.97
## Written by Jordan Dyckes (Develio13) who passed away during last year.
### Officially released by myself (Garry Hill) with permission from the developer.
Build Version: 4.10 (Final) - Should last the entire lifespan of PS3.
1. Enabled Anti-Virus scanning features
2. Firmware Blocking (Works for around 3 - 5 Days)
3. View your games / updater (Automatic) - Might be broken.
4. Uses settings.cfg instead of multi-files.
5. Stripped away security protocols used to prevent downloads from other sites, resulting in faster loading times.
6. Random web-browser pop-up removed, wasn't supposed to happen anyway.
7. Improved connection scripts, more stable and slightly faster.
8. Updated proxy coding, better connection between console and pc.
9. Included some new file types
10. Potentially fixed the scheduler (not sure)
11. Reduced dependencies on other libraries.
12. Disabled automatic update checker (for this program, G Hill.)
13. Stripped redundant coding and resources.
14. Improved the speed-limiter for more reliability.
15. Multi-Threading and Memory management has been enhanced.
16. Automatic Dual Proxy mode, for improved console stability.
17. Identifies console updates and pre-downloads, ready for install. (Console must power-on first, should block the update first time; so you can play games online while waiting for the update.)
18. Better segmentation management, to determine between ADSL or Cable - less chance of speed dwindling towards finish.
19. Checked support for Windows 8 (Confirmed / G Hill)
20. Now using pass-through in Dual-Proxy mode to allow iPlayer and Web Browsing (Notes indicate partially broken, not working as designed.)
21. Changed name to P-SEN (G Hill, PSN no longer applies.)
Special Features that remain:
1. Support for over 10 languages, sorry for translation errors.
2. Connection Optimizer (Adapts the download code, accordingly. Tested up to 50 Mbps)
3. Speed Limiter
4. Schedule Time for downloads
5. Speed Monitor in bottom bar
The setup instructions remain the same,
1. Start the P-SEN.exe and allow through firewall
2. Run Internal IP.bat and find your IP Address, preferable to set a static IP on your PC.
3. Under network settings on your console, select custom and when asked for proxy select Yes / Enable then enter your IP Address and port 27 (unless changed in Settings.cfg)
You'll need the following files:
A) Windows Vista or newer.
B) .NET 4.0 (Full)
C) Java (Latest)
Notice: This will be the last release, as I am unable to develop this program due to lack of knowledge in this area; however the progress made by Jordan should enable this application to continue functioning throughout the remaining lifespan on the PS3 and potentially the PS4 as well with a few tweaks such as File Types, though automatic updating would become broke due to the database only supporting PS3.
I hope you enjoy this release, a ton of work went into producing it and a struggle by my silly-self to make necessary changes, compiling the certificates was a nightmare that took over 10 weeks to figure out; but it's done now...
Mr. G Hill.
# I was left the documents by Jordan to complete his work, this accounts details were stored as an encrypted text file; just to clarify that I have permission to use this account and how I gained access for the knowledge of others.

Dear Scene,
Today I am here to report some unfortunate new's regarding my lifetime friend, Jordan Dyckes who passed away back in March this year due to heart related issue's not further aided by the stress he had undertaken in progressing towards operating a successful company.
I'd also like to note that someone since his death has been using his Username, E-Mail and Business Name and in some instances his actual name as well. This is a disgusting act, and infringement of personal rights; however little can be done about this, but I'd like everyone to remember Jordan for who he was and not the person using his details to mark an appalling reputation upon him.
Within my opinion, this could well be a previous customer of his whom was dissatisfied with the shut-down procedure of his company; they even tried starting a new hosting company with his details and deliberately sabotaged other companies by refusing to pay them and got horrible posts written about him; none of which he has actually committed since he passed away before this had happened.
I have informed companies house and the company will be removed from the active register so nobody can abuse the details in the future and have filed requests with Google in my best efforts to clear his name for him.
With all respect towards his enthusiasm & commitment in providing the best for everyone, always thinking about what other people needed; and sharing it with them for free.
We always went on Holiday each year and spent most our Summer Holidays / Weekends together, making the most of our childhoods; on many occasions he'd offer and pay towards something I'd like, but couldn't afford and never once did he ask me for his money back.
He was truly a friend who you could exchange secrets with and never worry about it, supportive and always gave the best advice to me when I needed it.
So without due course, and without starting to ramble about my childhood with him; I'll proceed with the status of the Playstation Download Manager which he was never able to complete.
I was left with some information, which has allowed me to login into his home computer and eventually locate the source code behind his most popular work: The playstation download manager and so forth have been working day and night this month on attempting to complete a compilation of the code.
However I'm still bewildered by his extent of security taken to prevent others from modifying his work and so forth, I'm working on reactivating a security token which will allow part of the code to run without being downloaded from the official website (which ceases to exist anymore, originally due to funding issues).
Once this has been completed I'm hoping to near a complete build, so version 4.00 can be run without advertisements, machine restrictions or download registration requirements etc.
Please give myself another month, just in advanced and I should have a build ready for uploading; however I cannot promise all the functions will be working / completed as I am not a programmer and can only go by the documentation he has left on his computer.
Cheers & Grace,
Mr G Hill.

Hi, I have some awesome news
The Playstation Download Manager 4.00 Alpha will become an unlockable upgrade, as the final release has been delayed until the PS Vita has been released (Due to development to support this new PS Product).
However I felt that people might enjoy some of the following features, to see what is coming:
1) Firmware Update Blocker - Working on OFW 3.70+ with PSN access for up to 2 weeks.
2) Automatic Updates for your games library - Selection isn't quite working, but downloads are.
3) Futher enhanced the reliability and success start-up rates, for those having errors first time.
Please note that this isn't the final product and it might have issues loading on some computers where as previous builds worked fine, as for those who can't get previous builds to work then this version should resolve that.
So by now your asking yourself, How do I start to unlock alpha access?
Simple, just follow these steps below to begin unlocking your access.
1) Visit
and register | login
2) Your IP address has been recorded, including the next two url's you visit (Tracking who earned access)
3) Go to
4) Vote for my Wishlist
5) Thank you, once a 1000+ votes have been logged you'll receive an e-mail containing the download link to the Playstation Download Manager 4.00 Alpha.
A big thank you to those who do vote for my wishlist, I always wanted a decent camera to pursue my interest in photography.

I don't see any group buys going on in Louisiana like I do in other portions of the nation. But I wanted to check and see if anyone here is in need of kegs. There's a guy selling some on ebay that has gotten good reviews and they're the best prices I've been able to find. TLDR - Interested in a group buy for kegs? Guy in Florida has a bunch!
I'm interested in a group buy for some kegs in Baton Rouge for sure! I'm about to need 10 of them.
Awesome. If you know of anyone else in need, let them know. I will contact the guy over the next day or two to see what kind of price break we can get with different orders.
I could be interested in some also.
I sent him an email on the $39 kegs. Here's what I got back: "How many are you looking to get? We can ship ground from 1-16 kegs and freight 20-60 or more Price break will start in the 12+ range . We can do 40-60 for $36.50 each Once I get a number of kegs you are looking at I can give you a little better idea on price .and shipping as well" Not much of a price break if you ask me but still cheaper than many places. Would be curious to know what shipping totals out to. I'm in for at least 10 myself. No idea where we could receive a freight shipment, though. Someone would have to look into that one.
Well, I'd be good for 4. We're up to 14 now.
Looks like no other takers. FWIW, I'm talking with Todd at Keg Connection about a huge order for all of my bar hardware including 10 kegs. If he makes the total price worth my while, I'll end up buying from him instead of this guy in Florida.
Well dang. Guess I will just bide my time.
Still active?

It took me an embarrassingly long time to notice the titular connection between Project Eternity , and the old Infinity Engine that was the inspiration for Obsidian's nostalgic RPG. Embarrassing, at least, if it weren't for the fact that by pointing this out, I'll cause someone new to go "oh yeah," and feel a little bit dim. Once that feeling has passed, dismiss that old name. This Baldur's Gate/Infinity Engine spiritual successor is now called Pillars of Eternity. To cement this title in your memory, there's even a new trailer.
Ooh, is that a twinge of nostalgia I feel? It's definitely an evocative set of images, from the dungeons to the dragons to the not-magic-missiles.
I recently talked to project lead Josh Sawyer about the game. Look out for that interview soon.

STAPLES Center, Los Angeles, CA
Bosh bags 21, Bargnani nets 19 in Raptors' 4th straight L.A. win over Clippers
LOS ANGELES -- Usually when a team rallies from a deficit of 20 or more points, it spends so much energy getting back into the game that it has nothing left for the finish. The Toronto Raptors didn't encounter that problem at all.
After erasing a 22-point second-quarter deficit to the Los Angeles Clippers, the Raptors made four 3-point shots during a game-ending 16-0 run and ran away with a 104-89 victory on Friday night.
Chris Bosh had 21 points and 14 rebounds to help Toronto begin a four-game road trip on the right foot.
"We really needed this game. We've got a tough road trip, so it was important to start it in a good way," center Andrea Bargnani said. "We started the game very bad and they went up 20 points, but after halftime our defense was much better and that gave us the confidence to score the ball. We gave more effort and were more focused."
Bargnani had 19 points and Jose Calderon added 18 for the Raptors. Toronto's bench outscored Los Angeles' 35-20, including 15 by Marco Belinelli, and beat the Clippers at Staples Center for the fourth straight time.
"The guys from the bench were very important, especially because the starting five was so-so. We had to be ready and be aggressive when we came in, and play defense," Belinelli said after the Raptors tied a franchise record for the largest deficit overcome in a victory.
Chris Kaman, who fought through a virus to get 20 points and 11 rebounds in Wednesday's home loss at New Orleans, made his first five shots against the Raptors and finished with 25 points and seven rebounds in 36 minutes. But his layup with 8:18 left was the last field goal for the Clippers, who went scoreless over the final 6:58 and missed their last 12 shots.
"They were getting free on some pick-and-rolls and they hit some tough shots," said Clippers point guard Baron Davis, who had 17 points and seven assists. "We were still in the game, but we just turned the ball over down the stretch. We got off to a good start and were free-flowing on offense. But all of a sudden, we started shooting the ball four or five seconds into the shot clock and it just seemed like there was a lack of flow."
The teams entered the fourth quarter tied at 74, and the lead changed hands five times before Bargnani hit a 3-pointer to put Toronto ahead for good at 91-89 with 4:28 to play.
Antoine Wright added two free throws, and the Raptors got back-to-back 3s from Belinelli and Bargnani before Calderon capped the rally with a layup and another 3-pointer.
"We played a great second half," said Belinelli, who was 6 for 10 from the field and made three shots from behind the arc. "I have to be ready to take a shot, because that's my job."
The Clippers made 15 of 20 shots in the first quarter to jump out to a 34-17 lead against a club that had held them under 80 points in three of the previous four meetings -- including both matchups last season. Steve Novak's 3-pointer increased the margin to 39-17, Los Angeles' biggest of the game.
"In the first half we were all a little flat, maybe because of the long plane ride," Wright said. "But in the last game, we played well in the second half. So I think we're starting to figure out what's going to help us win games. But we're going to have to learn from our first-half starts."
Kaman sat out the final 4:24 of the first half after picking up his third foul, and the Raptors were able to slice the deficit to 54-45 by intermission with a 16-5 run. They took their first lead, 63-62, on an 18-footer by Calderon with 6:39 left in the third quarter after a turnover by Marcus Camby.
"It definitely changed the course of the game," Wright said of Kaman's absence. "We had a guy who's been playing wonderful, and we knew coming into the game that we were going to have to do our best to make him as frustrated as possible. Amir Johnson did a good job of running him and making him have to work on both ends of the floor. And I think that frustrated him a little bit."
Raptors' 19-year-old swingman DeMar DeRozan, the ninth overall pick in the draft following his freshman year at USC, returned to Staples Center for the first time since being the MVP of the Pac-10 tournament and had two points in 11 minutes. He picked up his second foul with 7:35 left in the first quarter and spent the rest of the half on the bench.

CHICAGO, IL (September 21, 2010) Tickets are now on sale for WINDY CITY FIGHT NIGHT 13, an action packed evening of professional boxing set for Friday, October 22nd at Chicagos UIC Pavilion. Presented by Dominic Pesolis 8 Count Productions, HOME OF THE BEST IN CHICAGO BOXING, advance tickets starting at $31 are available through Ticketmaster (www.ticketmaster.com), the UIC Pavilion Box Office (312-413-5740) and the 8 Count Productions Office (312-226-5800).. Co-headlining WINDY CITY FIGHT NIGHT 13 in separate eight round bouts will be two of Chicago s most popular young prospects, junior welterweight Ivan Popoca and light heavyweight, The Polish Prince Andrzej Fonfara. A fan favorite in Chicago since turning professional three years ago, the undefeated Popoca has built his reputation with his all-action aggressive style. Sporting a record of 14-0-1 with ten knockouts, Popoca is coming off his finest performance, an outstanding fifth round stoppage of Jose Luis Soto Karass on May 29th, a bout which was broadcast on Fox Sports Nets TOP RANK LIVE series from the UIC Pavilion. Although dropped in the fourth round, Popoca rebounded to drill Soto Karass to the canvas with a devastating right hand to the jaw, resulting in referee Gerald Scott calling a halt to the action. Since a draw in his third pro fight, Popoca has won twelve in a row, eight by knockout. The 22 year old Fonfara, a native of Warsaw , Poland , now living in Chicago , is undefeated in his last five bouts, including two show stopping fourth round stoppages this year. Returning to action with a record of 14-2-0 (5KOs), Fonfara heads back to the UIC Pavilion following his biggest victory of his four year career, a fantastic four round knockout of Roger Cantrell, featuring a fight ending left/right combination which caused referee Celestino Ruiz to call a halt to the carnage. The victory over Cantrell earned Fonfara the World Boxing Council Youth Light Heavyweight Title. In a six round junior middleweight bout, highly regarded 21 year old welterweight prospect Jaime Herrera makes his fifth pro start. Fighting out of nearby Franklin Park , Illinois , the former amateur standout has made himself at home at the UIC Pavilion, winning all four of his first pro bouts, three by stoppage. In front of his growing legion of fans, Herrera, 4-0-0 (3KOs) stopped Joshua Rodriguez in the fourth round on August 6th. With both hands pumping power shots from the opening bell, Herrera dropped the game but outgunned Rodriguez in the fourth round. Although Rodriguez beat the count, referee John OBrien stopped the bout shortly thereafter following a barrage of punches from the quick finishing Herrera. Making a rapid return to battle is junior middleweight Donatas Bondarevas. In front of a huge crowd of supporters, the native of Kaunas , Lithuania , earned a second round stoppage of Michael Davis this past Friday night, dropping him three times enroute. The victory improved the aggressive, all action Bondarevas record to 9-1-1 (3KOs). It was Bondarevas second appearance in Chicago , the first being a sensational first round knockout of Keon Johnson on June 19th at the UIC Pavilion. Featured in a four round heavyweight tilt, Chicago s David Latoria, 5-0-0 with three knockouts will see action at WINDY CITY FIGHT NIGHT 13. In Latorias last start he stopped Tim Back in the first round on March 26th at the UIC Pavilion. Latoria has fought four of his five fights at the UIC Pavilion and the powerful heavyweight has thrilled Chicago fight fans with each outing. Junior welterweight newcomer Genaro Mendez returns to action for his third professional bout. Mendez, 2-0-0 (1KO), has impressed UIC Pavilion fight fans in both of his initial pro bouts, stopping Alexander Tousignant in the first round on August 6th. Further information on these bouts will be announced shortly. Doors on the evening of the event will open at 7pm with the first bell at 8pm. The UIC Pavilion is located at 525 S. Racine , just one block south of the Eisenhower Expressway. For further information, please visit their website at www.uicpavilion.com.

Fighters currently under the 8 Count Productions banner include; super middleweight contender Donovan DA BOMB George, junior welterweight prospect Ivan Popoca, light heavyweight Andrzej Fonfara, featherweight Jose Hernandez, welterweight Jaime Herrera and junior middleweight Luciano Perez.

Avian Influenza - 12 of 19
Avian Influenza FAQs - 19 Found
What are the potential routes for a pathogenic strain of avian (or human) influenza to arrive in North America?
- Bird migration is only one possible route of introduction of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) strain H5N1 into North America.
- Illegal smuggling of birds and poultry products, travel by infected people or people traveling with virus-contaminated articles are more direct, and possibly more likely, means of introducing the new strain of HPAI H5N1 virus into the United States.

Santa Clarita Valley Sanitation District officials introduced a rate-hike proposal they're hoping to have approved by June, district officials said Wednesday. At the Santa Clarita Valley Sanitation District board meeting, district staffers pitched fee increases of approximately $17 per year over the next six years, said Dave Bruns, assistant head of financial management for the Sanitation Districts. The district, which provides wastewater and solid waste management throughout Los Angeles County, is being mandated by the state to lower amount of chloride, or salt, in water flowing downstream to Ventura County from local treatment plants. The cost of the new infrastructure necessary to remove the salt is expected to cost upward of $250 million, which is the reason behind the rate increase being discussed, Bruns said.

Ferrari confirmed on Thursday that Luca Marmorini, who oversaw the design and development of their power unit, is leaving Maranello.
with reports about the 52-year-old's future circulating during the week of the British GP at Silverstone.
Ferrari refused to comment at the time but they have now released a statement confirming the departure, with Mattia Binotto taking his place as part of an ongoing restructuring process.
'Ferrari announces that, as of today, Luca Marmorini, Director of the Engine and Electronics department, is leaving the company,' the statement read.
'As part of the restructuring of the Power Unit department, Mattia Binotto will assume the role of Chief Operating Officer.
'James Allison, Technical Director, continues to be responsible for the entire car project, supported by Nikolas Tombazis, Chief Designer Chassis, and Lorenzo Sassi, Chief Designer Power Unit.'
The statement did not mention Pat Fry, Ferrari's Director of Engineering, even though as part of the shake-up orchestrated by new team boss Marco Mattiacci.
It seems that Marmorini has paid the price for Ferrari's underwhelming performances so far this year, with their response to F1's new hybrid era paling by comparison with the efforts of fellow works team Mercedes.
Despite the ability both outfits have to build their cars in-house - seen as a real advantage given the emphasis the rules are placing on the new breed of power units - Mercedes have clearly made better use of the resources at their disposal.
The creators of their W05 chassis have also influenced the design of Mercedes' all-conquering engine, resulting not only in F1's most powerful hybrid unit but also the best-packaged car.
In contrast, Ferrari's F14 T is overweight, underpowered and with a harsher power delivery.
More performance is being eked out as reliability improves and Ferrari feel more confident in exploring the power unit's limits but F1's engine freeze limits hardware changes.
Mattiacci replaced Stefano Domenicali in April and it's thought the latter's departure came after he had refused to sack Marmorini earlier in the year.
Since Mattiacci's arrival, Ferrari's attempt to return to winning ways has led to intense speculation linking big names like Adrian Newey and Ross Brawn to the team.
Newey has since committed his future to Red Bull - albeit in a reduced role - while Brawn appears content to stay away from F1 for now.
Fernando Alonso secured Ferrari's best result of the season so far, a second place, in Hungary at the weekend, with the team moving back up to third place in the constructors' standings ahead of Williams.

Public relations (PR) is the practice of managing the spread of information between an individual or an organization (such as a business, government agency, ...
PR agencies are concerned with improving and maintaining the reputation of nonprofit organizations, businesses, events, or distinguished personalities in politics and entertainment world. Basically, they handle communications between a company and the public. Public relations responsibilities usually include working with the media, talking at conferences, being involved in social media, managing crises and communicating with employees.
If you are a business owner concerned with portraying a certain image to the public, you may need the services of a PR agency. Today, public relation agencies use the Internet to establish rapport with customers, investors, employees and the general public. This is done using different channels of communication, such as personal computers, gaming consoles and mobile phones with Internet connection.
A good PR agency will have extensive number of useful contacts for creating advertisements and establishing branding of a company. These contacts can include the heads of different media departments, other PR agencies, and editors and heads of important news publications. No matter what form the contact list takes, any good PR agency will have a large catalogue of contacts at its disposal.
Staying Ahead of Advertising
The new technologies employed by PR agencies to spread the word are always changing and can be extremely confusing or daunting. By using a PR agency, a business can concentrate on what it is good at, rather than having to constantly stay ahead of the ever-evolving media market. A PR agency will specialize in being ahead of the norm, and if it does not, it is not worth employing.
When you outsource your advertising and branding to a PR team, you also end up outsourcing the amount of creativity that is being pushed towards your project. With a PR agency, you have the opportunity to have your business be the next big thing, because of the creative advertising that is used. A PR team allows outside influences to be used when creating media for your brand, which can be important when relating the brand to as many users as possible.
Chaos Control
The worst thing a business owner can deal with is a blowout from a customer or client who is unsatisfied and decides to slander the company. With a PR agency, you won't have to deal with any type of media or answering questions to the general public. This is their job, and it is what they thrive at doing. The best marketing companies of 2006 were Omnicom Group, WPP Group, Interpublic Group and Publicis Groupe. These four companies own 35 of the 50 biggest advertising agencies in America and account for almost 55 percent of American marketing.
Whether or not to engage the services of any PR agencies is a significant decision, so before you do, it's important to know some relevant facts. It's well known in the PR world that there's a dearth of training for young professionals entering the industry. In a lot of agencies, new employees tend to go through a sink-or-swim period. So, if your publicity is being handled by a new employee, there's always a chance things could go wrong.
What's My Target?
Something you need to think about is the target media for your product or service. Many agencies target all media outlets, while others are much more specific in their scope. If your product is a specialized niche, it would be a mistake to use a PR company that has a target that is too broad.
How Big Are They?
The size of a PR agency and where they're based are both very important considerations when thinking about using their services. Bigger companies have the connections and capabilities to reach a wider audience, but they often cost a lot more and reach a more non-specific audience. Location is important when considering which PR agency to hire. Agencies that are not local to your company won't target your area as specifically as you need. Also, they won't be as familiar with the area or as focused on the publicity in it.
How Do They Measure Success?
Most agencies use media impressions, clippings, and PR value as a means of measuring success. Generating media coverage online and offline is important, but at the end of the day, that coverage must attain measurable results. If your target is more internet-based, you should concern yourself more with inbound links, search engine rankings, Web site traffic, leads, and sales. If a particular agency's focus doesn't line up with yours, then it's best to move on.
In a recent study done by the Council of PR Firms, over 56% of PR firms said that most new business prospects became stronger over the last year. Over 76% of the firms reported that social media is one of the largest areas for expected growth. Of the firms reported, 58% said they expected growth in consumer marketing, 31% said that issues and crisis management were also expected to grow, and only 27% were expecting growth in corporate communication. These statistics show that PR agencies are a secure investment because of industry expansion and growth. Most companies charge very little for basic press releases, usually around $100. Prices will fluctuate depending on how much creativity is needed and how long the services are required. Larger PR firms charge upwards of $10,000 for long or extensive projects.
PR agencies will save you the trouble of facing the media and giving answers to the queries of the general public. Thus, you will have more time to handle other equally important tasks. In one way or another, stable marketing companies employ a PR agency of some sort. To choose the right PR agency for your business, make certain that the agency has a target media consistent with yours, has the capacity to reach a wide audience and is familiar with the area you are focusing the publicity. Keep in mind that your PR requirements may come at a greater cost, as the service of a renowned PR agency is usually pricey.
Public relations, also known as PR, concern the actions undertaken by businesses, governments or individuals to promote themselves to the public in a positive light. PR agencies can help facilitate communication between a business and its potential customers. Activities undertaken by an agency include press conferences, working with newspapers and television, social media campaigns and communicating with employees.
In a competitive marketplace, a business needs all the help it can get. A PR agency can help with brand building via various communication mediums. A PR agency can gain exposure for your business using topics of interest to your target market. They are also vital in times of crisis, helping to reduce any potential damage that maybe inflicted on a business.
A good PR agency is not cheap to employ, but if you do not want to see your business left behind by your competitors, the costs associated with public relations are more than worthwhile. Although there are huge PR agencies around, such as Edelman and Waggener Edstrom, there are many smaller agencies that provide valuable services to smaller businesses.

LED-UV Curing Systems consist of the following two components:
"LED Main Body Unit" and "Power Supply Unit".
The main function of the Power Supply Unit is to send LED On/Off signals to LED Main Body Unit.
In accordance with the signal sent from the Power Supply Unit, the LED Main Body Unit turns the LED On/Off.
We'd like to illustrate the benefits of "LED" below in terms of environmental friendliness and reduction of running cost as follows:
Noritsu LED-UV usage results in absolutely no mercury disposal and no ozone emission, and it brings a vast reduction in CO₂ emission. Traditional UV lamps contain mercury, which is harmful to the environment, but Noritsu's UV LED do not contain any mercury, and therefore do not produce any mercury waste. Furthermore, the vast reduction in electricity consumption means that much less CO₂ is emitted when using LED.
Noritsu LED-UV curing systems take energy-efficiency to a whole new level. They only use one-tenth the amount of electricity that traditional UV lamps use. Furthermore, traditional UV lamps need to be left on all the time, but Noritsu LED-UV are only illuminated when needed, thus providing a high level of energy efficiency.
The LED light source enables low-temperature UV curing. Traditional UV lamps release infrared rays and therefore emit an excessive amount of heat. Noritsu LED UV curing systems solve this problem because they use only ultraviolet light, not infrared.
Noritsu LED-UV curing systems have an amazing life of 15,000 hours or more. This means that when they are used for 4 hours a day they will last for over ten years, eliminating the need for replacement during this time. This results in a much lower running cost than traditional UV lamps.
Noritsu's LED-UV curing devices take up a minimal amount of space because they have a compact structure with a small Power Supply Device and they do not require an exhaust duct. In contrast, traditional UV lamp Power Supply Devices are bulky and they require an exhaust duct, which means a much larger space is necessary. LED-UV is the ideal solution for those who want to save space.
Changing from traditional UV lamps to LED-UV systems brings a dramatic reduction in running costs due to the fact that, once installed, LED-UV does not need to be replaced for a very long time. So exactly how much can you save per year? Below is a simulation of when 4 LED-UV curing systems are installed in one printer. (One for each color used)
UV lamp | LED-UV System / 1 Line 300mm Type |
Specs | Irradiation Area 30cm(120W/cm) Power Consumption: 3,600W =3.6kW |
Irradiation Area 30cm Power Consumption: 440W =0.44kW |
Number of LED-UV units: 4 LED-UV units in 1 printer | ||
Conditions | Operation hours: 8H Actual operating hours: 4H (rate of operation: 50%) Operating days: 22days / month→ 264days / year |
Total operating hours 2,112 H |
Total operating hours 1,056 H |
Electricity | Annual power consumption 3.6kW × 2,112H × 4pcs = 30,413kWH |
Annual power consumption 0.44kW × 1,056H × 4pcs = 1,859kWH |
Electricity charge: $0.15/kWH | ||
$4,561.92 | $278.85 | |
Lamp Costs | Cost of lamp: $700 / lamp labor cost for replacement: $10 / lamp Lamp replacement: 1 time / year x 4 lamps |
Replacement of lamp: 0 time / year |
$2,840.00 | $0 | |
Total | $7,401.92 | $278.85 |
In this simulation, power consumption is reduced by 28,554kWH and the electricity bill is reduced by $7,123.07 for one year. And with LED-UV, you do not have to install exhaust ducts, and the overall room temperature is cooler because LED does not produce excessive heat like traditional UV lamps, further enabling savings in installation expenses and air conditioning.
We evaluate the results of demo product tests to help us meet the exact needs of the individual customers.

Electrons and electron holes come together and recoupling occurs. The energy it has is converted into a smaller amount of energy, and the extra energy that occurs is released in the form of light.
The color of the light that the LED emits depends on the type of the diode material that makes up the chip. It was 35 years after the development of red LED in 1962 that ultraviolet LED was developed.
UV curing resign is generally composed of monomers, oligomers, initiators, and other additives. When ultraviolet light is projected onto the UV curing resign, a photopolymerization reaction occurs and hardens or "cures" the monomers, oligomers and polymers as a result. This technology is used in the printing segment and many other segments including coating, electronic part assembly, and adhesive-related applications.
