Pricing Management
- 7-weeks
- 1.5 credits
- Prerequisite: MBA Core
Setting and managing prices of products and services is critical to the success of an enterprise. Pricing is a continuous activity as prices must be set for all new products and adjusted periodically for existing products. The pricing function in a firm also includes setting and managing price promotions, rebates, and discounts in an attempt to build performance. The purpose of this course is to provide you with conceptual and analytical tools for making informed pricing decisions. The easy to use but powerful pricing tools provided to you are a key take away from the class. These tools are being employed in the firms I work with and are having a measurable impact on their performance. I want you to be a great pricer in the near future and these tools can help.
The first part of the pricing course examines conceptual and analytical issues in buyer price sensitivity. Knowledge of buyer price sensitive must underlie every pricing decision. We will learn a variety of techniques for measuring buyer price sensitivity and use this knowledge to drive pricing decisions. The second portion of the pricing course examines approaches how firms can improve their performance through realizing higher prices. Gaining pricing power is of paramount importance to most marketers as rising raw material costs and enhanced competitive pressures are placing tremendous pressure on gross margins. We will establish when conditions are favorable for greater price realization and learn techniques for raising prices that do not alienate the customer (too much).
The third component of the pricing course examines approaches that enable firms to build their performance through lower prices. In many situations lower prices are effective tools for increasing sales, revenue, and share. Plus, lower prices can create barriers to entry in markets and build customer loyalty. However, price reductions are the most abused practice in pricing and can devastate a firm's Value Proposition, segmentation effort, and profitability if not handled correctly. Analytical tools are offered to help you assess and manage the price reduction process.
The fourth component of the pricing class pertains to setting prices for new products. Because historical data does not exist for new products, different approaches must be employed. We will discuss several practical approaches for setting prices for new products. One of the new product price setting approaches to be discussed is Value-based pricing. Value-based pricing argues that customers who value our products more should pay more than customers who value our products less. The issues in value-based pricing are twofold: 1) how to assess customer value and 2) how to link value to price. An analytical value-based tool will be employed in class to help us pursue a value-based pricing approach.
The pricing knowledge and tools you will gain from the class are applicable to both B2C and B2B contexts. Channel issues complicate the pricing picture but we will gain some insights on how to price throughout the channel.
Course Objectives are:
1. To help you measure and exploit buyer price sensitivity using analytical tools.
2. To provide you with insights and tools to help you realize higher prices.
3. To help you determine when and how much to lower prices using analytical tools.
4. To provide you with insights into how to set prices for new products.
5. To help you learn how to apply Value-based Pricing techniques for new and existing products.

Macrosomia is a condition in which a baby is abnormally large before birth. The average birth weight for babies is about 7 pounds. Babies with macrosomia have a birth weight of at least 8 pounds, 13 ounces or more.
Macrosomia occurs in more than 10% of all pregnancies in the United States. It may lead to pregnancy complications such as a greater risk of cesarean delivery, damage to the birth canal, and injury to the baby during a vaginal delivery.
Babies born with macrosomia are more likely to have low blood sugar, respiratory distress, and jaundice.
The most common cause of macrosomia is diabetes in the mother during pregnancy.
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your chance of giving birth to a baby with macrosomia include:
- Mother having diabetes
- Mother having gestational diabetes
- Mother is obese
- Mother and/or father of large size
- Excessive weight gain by the mother during pregnancy
Signs and Symptoms
The main symptom of macrosomia is a birthweight of at least 8 pounds, 13 ounces or more. This birthweight may be estimated during prenatal testing.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical and pelvic examination will be done. An ultrasound can help determine the size of the baby before birth.
Your doctor will estimate the birth weight and evaluate any dangers for the mother and/or baby.
If the fetal macrosomia may cause potential harm during a vaginal delivery, a Cesarean delivery may be scheduled.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include:
Cesarean Delivery
Recommended for babies too large to be safely delivered through the birth canal.
Feeding babies with macrosomia soon after birth is important to prevent low blood sugar in the baby.
Feeding babies with macrosomia soon after birth is important to prevent low blood sugar in the baby.
Macrosomia may not always be prevented. Some steps that may help include:
- Maintaining a healthy weight throughout pregnancy
- Controlling blood sugar if you have diabetes
- Receiving prenatal care to diagnose problems early and prevent complications

To use Groovy from inside jEdit download this
. You'll need a fairly recent jEdit distribution.
Right now BSF isn't yet released with inbuilt Groovy support so you have to add the following code to the startup script in
|Code Block
You can also add a startup.bsh script into your home directory at
|Code Block
|Code Block
org.apache.bsf.BSFManager.registerScriptingEngine( "groovy","org.codehaus.groovy.bsf.GroovyEngine",new String[]{"groovy","gv"} );
Also you'll need to copy the groovy-all-1.0-jsr-XXXX.jar file into the jedit/jars directory.
Restart jEdit.
Open SuperScript dockable from Plugins Menu or Dockable area and choose "groovy" from the languages dropdown.
To test if groovy works fine or not, just try running some expression in the textbox or open some groovy script in jEdit and try "Executing Script".
Alternative Groovy mode
Oliver Rutherfurd has developed a Groovy mode for jEdit...
|Code Block
~/.jedit/catalog entry: <MODE NAME="groovy" FILE="groovy.xml" FILE_NAME_GLOB="*.{groovy,grv}"/>
The Groovy mode for jEdit is in the SVN since July, 9th 2004.
It is included in standard jEdit setup.
In order to know if you have this mode, check that the file <jEdit_Home>/modes/groovy.xml exists.
Console Commando Plugin
1. Install Console plugin in jEdit.
2. Copy the attachment on this wiki: groovy.xml into your $HOME/.jedit/console/commando/groovy.xml
(NOTE: I hardcoded my groovy path. Change it if it doesn't match yours.)
3. jEdit Menu: Plugins>Console>Regen menu.
4. jEdit Menu: Plugins>Plugin Options..., On left pick
Console>Compile&Run, Then select groovy file type and set your
compiler/interpreter to "groovy" selection.
Now you may open up any groovy script and Run Commando..., Default F5
will re-run the last command.


text: Comment: Unbelievable! Ya know, Ive seen firsthand what kind of junk you get for the prices that Jafrum offers, so even after reading nothing but good reviews, I was still extremely skeptical about what I would recieve in the mail. Well 3 days after I placed the order, they showed up on my doorstep (wow) and I opened the box and was floored! They are absolutely NOT the JUNK I was expecting, but in fact are a very high quality bag made of good quality leather. Ive seen bags of a lot lesser quality in discount stores for more than twice the price! I will have to do some slight modifications on them in order for them to fit correctly on my 05 Sportster, but that is to be expected of ANY universal fit type product. I am definitely bookmarking Jafrum website for all my future leather needs!

The Groovy-Eclipse team is proud to announce the release of Groovy-Eclipse 2.7.0. This is the first release that includes Groovy 2.0 final and that is available on Eclipse 4.2 (Juno). Now that Eclipse 4.2 is released, we will be dropping our Eclipse 3.6 support.
You can use the following update sites to install this release:
For Eclipse 4.2 (Juno):
For Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo):
The Groovy 2.0 compiler is not installed by default. If you want to install it, you can do so from the Extra Compilers category in the update site.
And a zipped version of the update site is available at:
For Eclipse 4.2 (Juno):
For Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo):
You can install from the zip by pointing your Eclipse update manager to the downloaded zip file and following the installation instructions. Do not unzip into your Eclipse dropins folder.
Table of Contents indent 10px maxLevel 4 style disc
Groovy 2.0
Groovy 2.0 is now available in Groovy-Eclipse as an optional add-on. We have not yet made the compiler default because we make our default compiler compatible with the default compiler of the latest release of Grails. At the time of this release, Grails is at version 2.0.4, which uses Groovy 1.8 as its compiler. When Grails moves to being based on Groovy 2.x, Groovy-Eclipse will move its default compiler as well.
To install Groovy 2.0, go to Help --> Install new Software. In the work with tab, choose the Groovy-Eclipse update site and select the Extra Compilers category:
Read Compiler Switching within Groovy-Eclipse for more information on how to install Groovy 2.0 and how to switch compiler levels.
Maven integration with
The groovy-eclipse-compiler plugin for maven has just released the 2.7.0-01 version and now uses Groovy 2.0 to compile against by default. You can specify other Groovy compiler levels if required. See Groovy-Eclipse compiler plugin for Maven for more information.
@TypeChecked and @CompileStatic Support
With the 2.0 compiler enabled, you can use the
@TypeChecked and
@CompileStatic annotations and Groovy-Eclipse compiles with them appropriately. Here is an example from the What's new in Groovy 2.0 article on InfoQ:
Also, reconciling (i.e., eager parsing as you type) handles these annotations properly. So, you get proper affordance when changing
int object = new Date() to
Date object = new Date():
Assign statement to new local variable quickfix
The Groovy-Eclipse editor now provides a new quickfix for assigning a statement to a local variable. To access the quickfixes, press CTRL/CMD+1. Choose Assign statement to new local variable:
And the results look something like this:
Convert variable to field
Groovy-Eclipse now provides a refactoring to convert local variables to fields. To access the refactoring, select a local variable:
In the context menu, choose Refactoring --> Convert Local Variable to Field...
A wizard pops up where you can tweak your options and preview the results:
Note that not all options are implemented yet. Unimplemented pieces of the refactoring wizard are grey. After pressing OK, you will see something like this:
Doc hovers with @link and @see
Doc hovers now respect the
@link and
@see JavaDoc tags, so you can add them to your DSLDs and users will be able to follow proper links to other parts of the source code:
Source code to github
Groovy-Eclipse is now on GitHub. Forking and pull requests are appreciated!
The old SVN repository is no longer valid.
Groovy-Eclipse 2.7.0 includes Groovy 1.8.6 by default. Groovy 1.7.10 can be enabled optionally, and Groovy 2.0.0 can be installed through the extra compilers section on the update site.
This version of Groovy-Eclipse is recommended to be installed on STS 2.9.2, STS 3.0.0.M3, Eclipse 3.7.2, or Eclipse 4.2. There is also a 4.2-based Groovy-Eclipse now available. See above for the update site.
Bug fixes
See the details on our issue tracker.
What's next?
We are planning a 2.8.0 release in October. You can take a look at all issues we are planning to fix for this release.
We appreciate all community support and feedback. If you wish to join the discussion about Groovy-Eclipse then please sign up for the mailing list. For any issues you have (or enhancements you would like to see), please raise them in our issue tracker. If there is an existing bug fix or enhancement that you require are not seeing any movement on, please make some noise on it (and get your friends to do the same). We respond to community feedback, and we can make the most improvements to Groovy-Eclipse when we hear directly from the community. So, please speak up.

Victoria Justice Biography & News
Victoria Justice Details
About Victoria Justice
About Victoria Justice
Is Victoria Dawn Justice the next Miley Cyrus? This singer-songwriter, actress and dancer is just 20 years old and has a plethora of TV credits to her resume. In fact, she's practically been "Ms. Nickelodeon" lately.
Justice is best known for her role as Tori Vega on Nickelodeon's "Victorious." But her other credits on the cable network include "Zoey 101," "The Naked Brother Band," "iCarly," and "True Jackson, VP." She's also appeared in the television movies "Spectacular!" and "The Boy Who Cried Werewolf."
The other side of Justice is the one behind the mic, rather than in front of the camera. She's known for songs like "Best Friend's Brother," "Make It Shine," and "Freak the Freak Out" (which is what most tween fans do when they meet her). She's also appeared on the soundtracks for "Victorious" and "Spectacular!" and starred in films like "Unknown," "The Garden," and "Fun Size."
Justice's debut album has been in the works for some time. She started the recording process back in 2010, but decided not to rush it. Instead she released a few cuts via iTunes, including a song from "Victorious" called "Countdown" back in February 2012. The song "Take a Hint" followed in March, and by October she revealed her debut album would release sometime in 2013.
But is her music on hold again? On October 11, it was announced that Justice had been cast as Lindy Sampson in MTV's "Eye Candy," a cyber thriller based on the novel by R.L. Stine. She also has a role in Ugg's "Feel Like Nothing Else" campaign, which recently kicked off at their Madison Avenue store in New York City.

Keo.co.za brings you the latest from the All Blacks' Grand Slam tour.
SBW show returns - Sonny Bill Williams will start at inside centre when the All Blacks face Wales on Saturday.
Williams was relegated to the bench in the All Blacks' 38-18 win over Ireland last weekend, but has been promoted ahead of Ma'a Nonu for the Cardiff Test in one of five changes made by head coach Graham Henry.
In the backline, wing Isaia Toeava and scrumhalf Jimmy Cowan also start as they replace Cory Jane and Andy Ellis respectively. Amongst the forwards, lock Brad Thorn has recovered from his hamstring injury and will make his 50th Test appearance as he replaces the injured Tom Donnelly, while hooker Keven Mealamu also returns after serving his two-week ban at the expense of Hika Elliot.
On the bench, flanker Daniel Braid is preferred ahead of Liam Messam.
All Blacks – 15 Mils Muliaina, 14 Isaia Toeava, 13 Conrad Smith, 12 Sonny Bill Williams, 11 Hosea Gear, 10 Dan Carter, 9 Jimmy Cowan, 8 Kieran Read, 7 Richie McCaw (c), 6 Jerome Kaino, 5 Sam Whitelock, 4 Brad Thorn, 3 Owen Franks, 2 Keven Mealamu, 1 Tony Woodcock.
Subs: 16 Andrew Hore, 17 John Afoa, 18 Anthony Boric, 19 Daniel Braid, 20 Andy Ellis, 21 Stephen Donald, 22 Ma'a Nonu
Hansen defends McCaw & co – Steven Hansen hit back at those who accuse Richie McCaw and the All Blacks of cheating.
McCaw has been criticzed of foul play at the breakdown before as he frustrates oppositions by slowing down their ball. Irish flanker Stephen Ferris is the latest person to accuse McCaw of being a dirty player.
'If I'd been a referee I would have handed out a couple of yellow cards. It's the usual old faces that are doing it, but they're good at it and get away with it. Richie McCaw did a great job at slowing it down,' claimed Ferris.
All Blacks assistant coach Hansen came out in McCaw's defence.
'He is the greatest openside flanker in the game and probably knows the rules better than the referees do,' said Hansen.
'When you make a tackle and get up and you are on their side of that tackle, he is entitled to be there until a ruck is formed – and the ruck is not formed until two guys are bound over the ball.
'It is actually becoming quite boring and I think quite disrespectful,' Hansen continued. 'All it really does, though, is actually motivate him to play better, so they want to keep doing it. I will keep putting up with the boring-ness of it so he gets motivated.'
Hansen also hit back at Wallabies head coach Robbie Deans, who accused the All Blacks of 'trickery' and believed they 'manipulated' referees at the scrums.
'It is laughable, really. I mean, I think Richie summed it up best – when you are under pressure you say funny things and Rob is obviously under a bit of pressure himself,' said Hansen.
'He seems to always fall back and start talking about New Zealand when he is actually involved with the Australians.'
'Carter's amazing' – Neil Jenkins believes Dan Carter is the best rugby player in the world.
Carter is set to break England pivot Jonny Wilkinson's record for most Test points (1178) when the All Blacks face Wales on Saturday. Carter is only two points behind.
Former Wales flyhalf Jenkins believes Carter will have his moment at the Millennium Stadium this weekend, which he deserves.
'He is probably the best, I think he is an amazing rugby player,' Jenkins said. 'I just think he is an incredible rugby player. To be the stand-out player he is, for this amount of time, is very special and his record speaks for itself.
'He is an overall fantastic rugby player, not just with his goal kicking. I don't think he has got a weakness in his game, you know, not that we know about in this moment in time.'

Post subject: SMELL MY HAND
Okay, so this is another "writer seeking artist" post.
So, anyway, hi, my name is Rachel Evil McCall. I'm a writer. I don't think I've posted much here before (perhaps not at all). I've previously written a webcomic called "Life Among the Unmotivated", which is currently on an indefinite hiatus for reasons that aren't quite relevant to this current post.
Y'see, I've got a new thing that I've started writing. As you may have guessed from the thread title, it's called "SMELL MY HAND." So, it's kind of a few things at once. It's partially an Odd Couple style bit about a pair of college roommates (a queer punk rocker bass player and a conservative Christian future doctor (she's gonna be a doctor in the future, that is. She's not a Time Lord)), and partially a story about a punk rock band (put together by the aforementioned first roommate), all of it being sprinkled liberally with ironic asides, constant music references, and zine-style "top five" lists.
A few of the primary characters are:
Roisin: She's a rocker. She rocks out. Plays bass. Alternates between laconic and manic. Rock and roll is everything to her. Tends to seek out odd and unusual music. Has absolutely no idea what she's going to do in college.
Amanda: Wants to be a doctor. Loves the idea of being able to help and heal people. Generally very good-hearted. Very religious. Had a very conservative upbringing. Pretty unaccepting on LGBT issues, but gets better as things go on. Her primary attribute is compassion.
Mitzi: Drummer. Hyper. A bit on the larger side, and she'll kick your ass if you talk smack about that. Tends towards intense enthusiasm.
Kirsten: Guitarist. Exceedingly mellow. Almost Mitzi's opposite. Very serious about her music. Extremely tall, kinda thin.
Skeevy Dave: Kirsten's boyfriend. Tends to live up to his name. Crusty punk.
To give you a better idea of what precisely I'm writing, here are the first eight pages of script. (Keep in mind that this is a rough draft and may go through several revisions before we're ready to get this thing off the ground.)
By Rachel Evil McCall
1. Roisin Goes To College
PAGE 1. Four panels. Panel one at the top of the page, going all the way across the page, panel two below that, slightly overlapping, offset slightly to the right, panel three just below panel two, on the left side of the page, smaller than all the other panels on the page, panel four, bigger than the others and taller than it is long, in the bottom right corner, again slightly overlapping panel two. There will be some blank space in the bottom left.
Panel One: Aerial shot of a university campus. This will be our storys setting. The university is more or less a generic New England university, located in a generic small New England city.
Caption: This is a story
Panel two: Shot of a van pulling into a parking space near a dorm building. This van belongs to our protagonist, Roisin Roark. Roisins a rocker. She rocks out. The vans an old, shitty Econoline from the 80s. That it runs is nothing short of miraculous. Its covered with stickers that demonstrate Roisins rockitude. Bands that Id suggest be referenced on the vans stickers (if any are visible enough at any point in time): Soviettes, Epoxies, Hedrons, Storm and the Balls, Awesome Snakes, UUVVWWZ, Polysics, Plastiscines, Melt-Banana, Sleater-Kinney, Sonic Youth, Husker Du, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, DEVO, Pixies, Alice Donut, God Equals Genocide, AIDS Wolf, Babes in Toyland, Giant Drag, Golden Triangle, things of that ilk.
Caption: This is a story about ROCK AND ROLL.
Panel three: Distant shot of Roisin exiting the van. Roisin is a new college freshman, just moving in now. Shes 18, and tiny (about 52, skinny). She has blonde hair, pulled into two very short pigtails. She favors punk-esque clothing, and tends to wear several rainbow-themed accessories at the same time (she likes to be a gay pride billboard sometimes). Here she should be wearing blue jeans and a t-shirt that says I Play the Bass (like the guy from the Prototypes in the video for Whos Gonna Sing. I can provide a youtube link if needed.).
Panel four: Closer shot of Roisin as she looks up at the dorm building. Should be a shot of her from the front, as she looks up, and slightly to the left of the panel.
Caption (to be placed in the blank space next to the panel): Or, maybe, its a story about a girl living in a dorm room in her first year of college. Or maybe both. Who knows? Whatever.
PAGE 2. Four panels. Panels one and two at the top quarter of the page, panel three running across the second quarter, and panel four taking up the bottom half.
Panel one: Roisin walking up the stairs, schlepping her stuff. She has a bass guitar strapped to her back, a few cardboard boxes loaded in her arms, and a poster under one armpit. She should look comically overloaded.
Panel two: Roisin walks up to a room with an open door. By the side of the door is a paper sign with the names of the occupants. It reads: R. Roark, A. Scott.
Panel three: Shot of Roisin, in her new room, looking off to the side at someone who is talking to her. She looks mildly shocked. The layout of the dorm itself is fairly simple: two loft beds above desks on either side of the room, a sink, microwave and mini fridge on one end, and a door to the bathroom on the other.
Amanda (off-panel): Hi! You must be my new roomie!
Panel four: And here we meet Amanda, Roisins new college roommate. Amanda is also starting her first year, and is also 18. Shes had a fairly conservative Christian upbringing, and her worldview is pretty much shaped by that. Shes not naïve, but at the same time maybe isnt quite ready for how different life is from how she was raised. She has long brown hair, which she typically wears down. Shes a little taller than Roisin (about 55), and not quite as thin. Shes wearing a Jesus Saves t-shirt and khaki pants. Shes in a fairly perky mood right now, excited about starting college.
PAGE 3. Five panels. Panels one and two in the top third of the page, panel three in the middle third, on the left side, panel four in the bottom third, on the left side, panel five taking up the bottom two thirds on the right side.
Panel one: Roisin starts putting down boxes, as Amanda continues talking.
Amanda: So, hey, Im Amanda. Youre Roisin, right? I had to look up how to pronounce that. Is it, like, foreign or something?
Roisin: Irish. My dads into that stuff.
Panel 2: Roisin looks for a place to put her bass.
Amanda: So, what are you majoring in?
Panel 3: Roisin shrugs.
Roisin: Dunno.
Panel four: Amanda continues talking while Roisin continues putting stuff away.
Amanda: Oh, okay, then. Im going for pre-med, myself. I always knew the lord meant for me to heal people, so thats what I want to do. And this is a good school for that, even though my parents didnt like the idea of me coming here. You know, they keep saying that colleges like this are full of liberals and homosexuals and that Im gonna end up corrupted by it. Crazy, right?
Panel 5: Shot of Roisin, speechless, with a raised eyebrow. She has paused in the middle of putting stuff away. Shes holding a rolled up flannel shirt in one hand, and still has the poster under her arm. The poster is partially unrolled, and we can see that its a picture of Rainbow Dash from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Arrows with captions point to various points of interest.
Arrow (pointing at her ears): Rainbow triangle earrings.
Arrow (pointing at her wrist): Rainbow bracelet.
Arrow (pointing at her waist): Rainbow belt.
Arrow (pointing at the poster): Rainbow Dash.
Arrow (pointing at the bottom of the panel): You cant see them in this panel, but her shoelaces are rainbow patterned, too.
Arrow (pointing at the shirt shes holding): Flannel.
PAGE 4. Five panels. Two in the top third of the page, two in the middle third, one in the bottom third, with room for a big caption in the bottom right corner.
Panel one: Amanda continues going on, oblivious, as Roisin goes about her business of making one side of the room her own.
Roisin: Uhm
Amanda: So, anyway, besides not majoring in anything, what do you like to do?
Roisin: I play bass, mostly.
Panel two: More talking. Roisin looks slightly incredulous.
Amanda: Base? Is that, like, a video game or something?
Panel three: Roisin holds up her bass, as a demonstration.
Roisin: Bass. Like, bass guitar. Like music?
Amanda: Ohhhhhh.
Panel four: Amanda continues to attempt to elicit conversation. Roisin continues to attempt to avoid conversation.
Amanda: So, what kind of music do you like?
Roisin: Ehhh, you probably havent heard of any of it *
Panel five: Roisin starts to walk out the door.
Roisin: Anyway, I gotta get the rest of my stuff outta my van
*Roisins Top 5 You probably havent heard of
5: Golden Staph. Band from Australia I heard about because of Maximum RocknRoll. Dr. Tony is a pretty awesome song.
4: UUVVWWZ. Weird kinda arty band from Nebraska. Really cool sound.
3: Anarchistwood. Kinda arty, kinda punky, kinda chaotic band from London. Found out about them cuz theyre MySpace friends with Alice Donut.
2: God Equals Genocide. Totally fucking awesome band, another Maximum RocknRoll fave.
1: Awesome Snakes. Nothin to say except how much they rock. Its a lot. They rock a lot.
PAGE 5. Four panels. Two in the top third of the page, one biggish one taking the bottom two thirds of the page, height-wise, and about half a page wide, and one little panel in the bottom right corner.
Panel 1: We see Amanda over Roisins shoulder as Roisin is leaving.
Amanda: Okay! Well, I might not be here when you get back. My parents should be about to come back and take me to lunch.
Panel 2: Roisin walks out the door and into someone.
Roisin: Okay, then, Ill see you la *oof*
Panel 3: We see Amandas parents, glaring at Roisin, over whom they tower. They appear to be very stern. Very conservative types who are unlikely to approve of Roisin in any way.
Panel 4: Close up on Roisin as she stammers.
Roisin: Er well.
PAGE 6. Six panels, in three rows of two.
Panel 1: Roisin rushes past Amandas folks and down the hall.
Roisin: Nicetomeetyoubye!
Panel 2: Roisin pulls more stuff out of her van.
Panel 3: Roisin, back in the room, puts stuff away.
Panel 4: Roisin sits at her computer, typing something up.
Panel 5: Roisin pulls a paper out of the printer.
Panel 6: Roisin walks up to one of those big triangular bulletin board thingies you see on college campuses.
PAGE 7. Three panels. One smaller one in the top left corner, one big one in the middle of the page, and one little one in the bottom right corner. Room in the bottom left corner for another Top 5.
Panel 1: Roisin tacks a paper to the bulletin board.
Panel 2: We see the paper. Its an ad with those little strips at the bottom to tear off. The strips each have a phone number on them (lets make it 555-2342). The paper says.
Bass player looking to start a new band. Looking for power-trio* type thing w/ guitarist and drummer. Call me if you can play either of those and are interested. My fave influences: Minutemen, Sleater-Kinney, Husker Du, Pixies, Soviettes.
Rolling is permitted.
Panel 3: As Roisin walks away, we see someone in the background reading the flyer. This is Mitzi, the future drummer for Smell My Hand. Shes also a freshman. Shes a little overweight, has short black hair in which she wears barettes. She tends to dress in black with polka dots.
Mitzi: Hey! Did you post this?
Top 5 list:
5. Nirvana. Probably not fashionable to be into them anymore, but damn if Bleach isnt a fine album.
4. Babes In Toyland. Even less fashionable, but if you dont think Handsome and Gretel kicks ass, you have no fucking soul.
3. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs. At least until they went fuckin' DISCO. Betrayal is bitter.
2. Minutemen. Just a completely kickass band. Three guys who played awesomely and rocked the hell out.
1. Sleater-Kinney. See above, but replace guys with girls.
PAGE 8. Six panel grid.
Panel 1: Roisin turns around as Mitzi rushes toward her.
Roisin: Uhm yeah?
Panel 2: Mitzi shakes Roisins hand vigorously. Roisin is frightened.
Mitzi: Hi! My names Mitzi, and Im a drummer. I just saw your ad, and Id totally love to jam with you. I just love all sorts of punk rock and stuff and I think we have similar tastes, so I think wed be pretty cool together and Id love to be in your band!
Panel 3: Roisin manages to free her hand.
Roisin: Ohhhkay. Uhm, Im Roisin. Well, call me, and we can get together.
Panel 4: Mitzi bounces enthusiastically.
Mitzi: Yay! Im gonna be in a band!
Panel 5: Mitzi skips away, and Roisin walks in the other direction.
Roisin: Whew. Well, at least shes enthusiastic.
Panel 6: Roisin, back in her room, naps on her bed.
So, yeah, that's about the size of that. If you want to see more of my writing, you can check out Life Among the Unmotivated:
. Just be warned that the first few strips are
rough, writing-wise. I didn't really hit my stride until a few strips in, there. I still wince at the older strips.
As far as payment goes, at this point in my life I'm unable to offer any payment up front. 50% of any and all eventual profits will go to the artist, of course, though it may be a little while before that becomes a thing (Life Among did net a small, but decent amount in donations, though, so it's not inconceivable that there would be profit from this comic).
What I'm looking for in art is fairly cartoony art in black and white. I tend to have something of a punk/indie aesthetic, so I'm looking for art that would compliment that well, but, really, as long as it's decent, I'm not picky.
So, yeah, that's my pitch. If you're interested, contact me at rachel.evil.mccall at gmail.com, and we'll talk turkey.

I recommend learning to draw yourself. Your artist will never back out on you, and will always be on the same page. Drawing is not some unattainable skill. You may not be Michelangello, but most people can learn the basics. Fewer things will teach you to draw like regularly updating your own webcomic. My artistic skill improved dramatically from the attempt.
If you find a good artist's forum, or even here at TWCL, you can get a lot of good artistic advice and support.

Oh, I've tried. Never much cared for the results. Also, I no longer have a working scanner. Still, might try this approach later on for something else.

I still encourage you to draw while you don't have an artist. Your comic can at least progress that way while you're waiting. I first started making my comic after reading someone else's horribly drawn monstrosity (don't remember which comic it was now), and I decided that if they can put their scrawl on the internet, so can I.
I hate to see a good comic not get made for lack of an artist, when most people can learn to draw reasonably.

How long do you envision the comic to be?
I am very interested in working on a short story, but I really can't commit to anything huge like a graphic novel. Maybe a GN if we take it a chapter at a time...

Veronique Drouin-Luttrell was named Oklahoma's head women's golf coach on June 24, 2009, and in just five years has converted the Sooners into a perennial national power.
The top 13 54-hole scores in school history have come under her watch, and she has presided over the 15 lowest rounds in relation to par in OU annals. Additionally, Drouin-Luttrell has watched her golfers claim six All-America honors.
During Drouin-Luttrell's first full season at Georgia in 2006, the Bulldogs won two prestigious events -- the Golf Daytona Beach Fall Preview and the SEC Championship. Drouin-Luttrell also served as interim head coach during the 2007 Central Regional and NCAA Championships, leading the Bulldogs to second- and eighth-place finishes, respectively.
Before her time at Georgia, Drouin-Luttrell was a graduate assistant at Kent State for two-and-a-half years. She also enjoyed a standout playing career with the Golden Flashes as the 2000 Mid-American Conference (MAC) Freshman of the Year, the 2003 MAC Golfer of the Year and a three-time first-team All-MAC performer.
As a senior, Drouin-Luttrell helped lead Kent State to a second-place finish at the 2003 Central Regional and a 19th place showing at the NCAA Championships. Two years earlier, she helped lead the Golden Flashes to a 15th-place finish at the 2001 NCAAs, the program's best effort ever.
Drouin-Luttrell continued to compete as an amateur, and she finished 2006 at No. 8 in Canada's national rankings.
Drouin-Luttrell was runner-up at the 2006 Royale Cup Canadian Women's Amateur Championship after tying for medalist honors and falling in a playoff.
A native of Saints-Anges, Quebec, Drouin-Luttrell received her bachelor's degree in business administration from Kent State in the spring of 2003 and her master's in sports management from Kent State in 2007. She married her husband, Evan, in March 2012.

Okay so at first they are talking about how they got their start, who they are etc. Then they asked about rumours for the new album and the guy said its going well and that he can't reveal anything. Then someone said the album is almost ready, and his buddy replied its all a secret, then the chick said she'd love to tell what is on the album. Then at the end they talk about how they think this album will be a success if they keep it in line with the other albums they've done.
And thats it.

Great news, animal advocates! Yesterday U.S. Reps. Tom Marino (R-PA), Jim McGovern (D-MA), John Campbell (R-CA) and Jim Moran (D-VA) reintroduced the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act, an ASPCA-supported bill to strengthen our federal laws against animal fighting.
While it's already a federal crime to actively participate in an animal fight, it's the spectators who drive the enterprise and make it profitable. This bill would make it a federal offense to attend an organized animal fight and impose additional penalties for bringing a child to a fight.
The Senate passed this bill in the previous Congress, but even with over half the House in support, Congress was unable to pass a final bill. Reintroducing this bill in the early days of the new Congress gives us an opportunity to build on the momentum from the last Congress and help finally close the federal loophole for animal fighting spectators.
Ask your own House representative to support this important humane legislation! Visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center right now to quickly email your U.S. rep in Washington and urge him or her to cosponsor the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act.
Please this vile activity once and for all time!
I meant to say, "please HALT this vile activity once and for all time". But you knew that.
I agree.....torture and abuse the humans that do this. It's probably the only way they will feel ANYTHING!!! The human species is NOT the self-proclaimed species and it is the human race that needs culling!!! IN FACT, it is in the U.S. that there is a mini-StoneHenge erected with writings in all languages, that states it's mission to save the planet from us, is to cull the human population to an extremely lower number. It is the ONLY waya to save this planet and the truly-deserving life forms within it......the animals.
What's it gonna take for everybody to wake up & do something about these 2 problems with our pets?!! Just cuz you don't see it doesn't mean it's not happening. I'm sick to death of these problems continueing & these scums getting away with it. They get free money on the suffering of these pets. God depends on us to take care of these problems, too. He sent them here as companionship for us!! Email your Congressman, Senators, Governors whoever's in office & let them know they need to get this taken care of.
These so called people should not be put in jail, they should be put to death, so they stop killing animals for Fun!!
PLEASE - if this misery and torment is allowed to continue - ask yourselves just how civilised we really are? There should not even be a necessity for a petition in this enlightened age. Yes they do feel FEAR PAIN and SUFFERING and yes they are capable of love and affection!!! Please support this petition. Thank you very much.
Dog fighting is barberic and without question inhumane. I have one bumper sticker on my car "Death Penalty for Animal Abuse" my new Motto !!!!!!
what is wrong with humans, for gods sake stop this inhumane torture act. Punish those bastards to the fulles, anyone that mistreats an human should be punished the same way as if it was a human, In fact worse, because these animals have NO VOICE TO YELL FOR HELP like a human. in fact we need less humans on this world and more animals. you don't see animals killing each other off, like humans with their guns so you have any brains and compassion save these poor helpless animals. why don't you sit in a dark dungeon for a yr see how you like!!!!!!!!!!
This issue needs to be settled NOW! This is an inhuman practice and people who watch and take children to watch need severe consequences!

Although on the pricey side, these lights are very bright with a crisp white light that really illuminates terrain. The poly lens is very tough and looks to be more durable than the glass lens headlights they replaced. Extremely low power draw and the additional halo ring looks really cool, but did require additional custom wiring to hookup to a switch. However, because the power draw is so low, no relay is needed and a good toggle switch is all that is needed. Installation was as easy.

Questions & Answers
Low Price Guarantee
This is a 100 Series DOT motorcycle half helmet which is one of the lightest and smallest in the market.
Approximate weight is 2 lb and this helmet measures 8.75 inches from ear to ear and 11.5 inches from front to back.
The new EPS liner is only 1 inch thick. Made using 3 different shell sizes.
This helmet meets or exceeds DOT FMVSS 218 specifications by DOT.
Please use a cloth tape to take your measurement. It is better to have a helper do the measuring in order to get accurate measurement.
The circumference of the head should be measured at a point approximately one inch above the eyebrows, or at whatever point gives the largest possible measurement.
If you find that your measurement falls between two sizes, choose the smaller size for this helmet.
Comment: The quality of the leather is very good... the pants are nicely tight and keep wind out... careful with the size : I had to get 2 sizes above my normal pants size... I think at least one size above is a good rule of thumb.
Eli Nemer
Comment: cannot yet speak to the durability but the look of this helmet is quite nice for the price. if reasonable care is taken, my sister will look great on her scooter.
harlan everett "scoot coot"
Comment: I have rode for years choosing not to wear a helmet until just recently. I began searching for a helmet that would serve its pupose yet represent as well and this helmet is it. It is comfortable and not to bulky as in some other brands that I have checked on at shops. The leather surface over the shell is just the thing. I consider this to be a good choice for me

Comment: Great product, well made and an excellent fit, which has proved to be very comfortable. The product was shipped extremely quickly, and arrived in much less time than expected (2 days from ordering with normal mail). It was very appreciated. Overall impression has been Fantastic Product and Fantastic Service. I promptly ordered other items from this supplier due to their original response. Highly recommended, and would purchase from them again. Thank you

Comment: Looks fantastic. The leather and detailing is just great. Looks a lot better on than most half helmets that are up to DOT standards, not as chunky as our other half helmet. Good price too - would recommend this product to everyone!
S. Marshall
Comment: I paired this helmet with my '40's era goggles, and it looks great. It doesn't make my head look huge, and it still has the DOT approval.
Kylene J. Balch
Comment: I ride a little 150cc scooter and the helmets i kept finding locally were either wider than my bike or too costly. Point of buying the scooter was to save on gas and it does; same reason whay I bought the Beanie Helmet. Not only is it DOT certified but it's light weight and not goofy looking like some half cut helmets. In Texas we really do not have to wear helmets if you meet certain requirements with your insurance and other things. But safety is key as I have already had a 10mph spill and walked away with road rash and have noticed that most of those on-the-cell-phone-suv-driving-housewives don't pay attention half the time thus my purchase. I went for both safety and style; and as stated before the price was at least half off from purchasing from any mc or scooter shhop locally. I ordered my helmet and before I knew it I had it as the turn around was that quick. Thanks Jafrum.

Comment: Very happy with this helmet. Well made and Jafrum provide an unbelievable service - helmets arrived in New Zealand a week after purchase.

Comment: I have been riding motorcycles for many years and have never imagined purchasing a helmet without trying it on first. The price on this helmet was cheap enough that if I ordered the wrong size I could send it for an exchange and still get a good deal...The first one fit FIRST TIME and now I'm ordering a spare. Just because I like it so much. Most half helmets either look like you're in a polo game, riding a horse or a german in the second world war. This helmet has a perfect size, shape and weight and all DOT too.
Cape Coral, Florida
Comment: It does appear more low profile than other helmets and I like the graphics. I can't wait until full blown summer ! Keep the rubber on the road.
Oakhurst, Ca.
Comment: Great looking helmet ,well built.
Comment: This is my second purchase of this helmet.The first one served me well when a deer slammed into me and my head bounced off the concrete. Saved my head.
Comment: I started riding about 50 years ago when my dad let me tear up the grass on his Korean War vintage Kushman scooter. From day one I worn a helmet. Since then I have tried they'll sizes, shapes, colors and styles. As I have grown older and realized my mortality I have come to value three things in a motorcycle helmet -- safety, visibility, comfort. This helmet is outstanding in those regards and has a great design style. My only minor wish would be to gave a good way to clean the liner after a long hot ride along the Gulf Coast of Florida. Stay Safe
Pensacola, Florida

Comment: The helmet that I receved was just what I was looking for in a half helmet. The service was fast and the product was very easy to order.I was very pleased with the out come and will order agian from this company. I could not be any more pleased!
Doug Lowery
Comment: The helmet fits well, looks good, price was right and it came in just a few days. I am pleased with all but the strong chemical like smell. Actually, I bout two helmets and they both have the strong odor. I hope it goes away after a few trips. All in all, a good value.
Bella Vista, Arkansas
Comment: Choose one size smaller than you nornally wear like the description say and it will fit perfect. You don't want to wear loosely with the Half Helmet cause the wind will blows it backward. The leather quality is very good and for the price, I am very happy with the purchase.
Portland, OR
Comment: This helmet is still a little mushroom head...but hard to not be with DOT approved. Still looks fine and fits well. I didn't feel like the wind was trying to take my head off as much with this one compared to others with the windshield off.
Comment: I was 100% satisfied with the helmet. It was a little heavier than I expected, being advertised as "light weight" but it feels very protective, high quality, and looks really cool. I love the helmet.
Kelly Sager
Ann Arbor, MI
Comment: This was delivered very fast (about 12-15 days for overseas AND South Europe is great) in very good packaging. It's a beautiful, well built helmet. Nothing to complain for!
Athens, Greece
Comment: Great helmet! Everyone I meet is envious and will be ordering their own.
Manhattan Beach, CA
Comment: A great helmet for the price....i do not wear a helmet unless i am in a state with helmet laws so i didnt want to drop a bundle...this fits well is relatively comfortable and looks great...just the ticket

Danny T
Cumming Ga
Comment: I have been at so many motorcycle stores looking for the perfect half helmet. So I took a chance (to try an online purchase) and ordered this one. I absolutely love it and it fits perfectly. I also like the fact that it is DOT approved and not too heavy/bulky like others I have been trying on.

Claresholm Alberta
Comment: Leather half helmet looks great. just what I thought it would be. quality speaks for itself, great price. just can't wear yet because in northern Minnesota where I live, ITS WINTER YET--YUK!
Bemidji, MN
Comment: I was concerned with ordering my first half helmet after reading multiple rated reviews. I am african-american with full thick hair. I didn't want a huge half helmet, so I ordered this small, trendy, leather helmet and this helmet, although compact in size, fits over my hair just perfect. Its truly lightweight, doesn't move much against the wind and it looks great on my head. If it had removable internal lining and ear/neck curtain for cold weather, it would be the only half helmet I need.
Miami Gardens, FL
Comment: The leather helmet looks and fits great. On these helmets size up to the next size if you ware a medium go to a large.
Fort Worth,TX
Comment: one more time, Another great product with a great fit this helmet does not look like another separate enity to your body. It looks amazing, for me I am tall and slender with a small head so I was very leary this helmet would look large on me especially it being leather, it did not and I am so pleased. I can tend to be a bit picky...so there you go. As well with the many other items I have ordered it was 3 days only getting to me. Terrific!
Ajax ON, Canada
Comment: Bought for my daughter for Christmas, Local HD shop had this helmet for double the$.

Comment: This is the helmet I've been looking for. Great price and now I use a helmet! The other 4 I own have rarely been used simply because I dont care for how they look on me...missing the point of a helmet, yes I know, but I wear one now.

Type of employment: Permanent post
Extent: 100 %
Location: Department of Law, Göteborg
First day of employment: After agreement
Reference number: PER 2014/85
Marine Governance Law
The University of Gothenburg and its School of Business, Economics and Law, with the Department of Law, have for a long time had the sea and navigation as a specific orientation. Starting in the 1960s research and teaching within the subject maritime and transportation law expanded and gained particular strength. During the last two decades this field of interest has been supplemented by expanding research and teaching in environmental law specifically focused on coastal and marine governance. The University of Gothenburg has in its current strategic plan laid down that knowledge of the sea as a profile issue shall be a prioritized field of study. Through the Swedish Institute for Marine Environment and Gothenburg Centre for Marine Research there have been specific efforts to strengthen the cross-disciplinary collaboration in the marine knowledge field. Other expressions of this ambition are the multi-disciplinary marine research school where the four departments of the School are represented in an extensive research collaboration with other Nordic universities. In addition, the externally funded Lighthouse Project for maritime competence and research at Chalmers University of Technology and the School of Business, Economics and Law is another important building block in the creation of a strong research and teaching profile with the sea as the starting point. The University of Gothenburg also collaborates with Chalmers University of Technology and the regional administration for Västra Götaland in order to strengthen and develop maritime clusters where marine governance is included as an important component. This development is furthermore characterized by a high level of international cooperation.
The strategy of the School of Business, Economics and Law for 2012-2016 focuses on promoting economically, socially and ecologically sustainable development. Several strong research environments that relate to sustainable development are already available and an ambitious effort to integrate the sustainability issues in all educational programmes was launched during 2012. A venture within marine environment issues is a natural part of the push for sustainability. The School of Business, Economics and Law and its Department of Law have also through a number of recent strategic ventures within the area of environmental, maritime and transportation law, taken action to ensure that knowledge pertaining to the sea, its resources and industries, will evolve into one of the department's profile subjects. Through donations from Sten A Olssons Stiftelse för Forskning och Kultur (Sten A Olsson's Foundation for Research and Culture) and Carl Bennet AB, as well as a contribution from the University of Gothenburg, a new professorial chair in the subject of marine governance law at the Department of Law will now be established.
The holder of this chair is expected to take up leadership responsibility for a complete research environment with doctoral students and research fellows, which will become an important component in the international research community and a strong complement to the already strong marine research environment at the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of Technology.
Through the announcement of a professorship in marine governance law, the School of Business, Economics and Law wants to lay the ground for the development of new, urgent legal research within the marine field. There is a stated need to investigate how various legal aspects of issues that pertain to planning, administration, steering and institutional structures interact with the major societal challenges that can be connected with the sea and the maritime environment. The new research field is presumed to become an integrated part of the already existing research environment at The School of Business, Economics and Law. The prerequisites for the new research field are moreover favoured by the fact that the School of Business, Economics and Law harbours internationally prominent research within bu
The main responsibilities for the future holder of the professorial chair are:Responsibility for building a research environment in the field of marine governance law and for ensuring continued long-term funding.
Responsibility as a research manager to develop the research field marine governance law, partly through own research, partly through research tutoring.
Responsibility for developing English-speaking courses at postgraduate level in collaboration with other groups of researchers at the School of Business, Economics and Law and at other faculties at the university.
Responsibility for developing multi-disciplinary or cross-disciplinary courses and research projects within the own research field, within legal science and in collaboration with representatives of other scientific disciplines within the marine and maritime field, develop multi-disciplinary or cross-disciplinary courses and research projects.
A person who has demonstrated both research and teaching expertise in accordance with Chapter 4, Section 3 of the Higher Education Ordinance shall be qualified for employment as a professor. A general eligibility requirement is the ability to cooperate as well as other ability and suitability that is necessary in order to carry out the job assignments well.
The assessment criteria for appointment as a professor shall be the degree of such expertise required as a qualification for employment. In assessing research expertise particular weight will be placed on merits in relevant and strategically important research areas (for example law of the sea, maritime law and marine environmental law) as well as documented experience of propelling and managing international, preferably multi-disciplinary, research environments. Candidates shall also be able to demonstrate documented experience of ensuring externally financed research projects.
The pedagogical skills shall have been demonstrated through teaching and leadership at both graduate level (Masters' level) and doctoral level. The expertise shall be well documented in a way that enables an assessment of the quality of the pedagogical activity. The candidate shall have solid experience from tutoring of doctoral students, and planning and management of research activity in established research environments.
Pertaining to other expertise, it is meritorious, aside from administrative skills acquired within the academy, to have experience from international academic environments.
We desire that the person appointed shall be able to contribute both to research and education, as well as having the personal qualities required for collaboration with persons both internally and externally, in order to drive the department's development forward. In assessing this, we will also consider the candidate's ambition to be present at the workplace as well as his or her cooperative ability in general.
During the recruitment process, the candidates may be asked to give sample lectures, attend interviews as well as to provide references.
The university will make an overall assessment of the applicants' competence and skills in order to appoint the candidate who is deemed to have the best qualities to carry out and develop the duties described above and thus contribute to a positive development of the department's activities.

So, you may remember that the United States and Great Britain had a minor spat in 1776, which shall we say, did not put them on the friendliest of terms. In 1812, while Britain was focused on its war with France, the same country decided to take advantage of the situation and declare war. The 1820s saw the Aroostock War and border disputes between Maine and Canada. There was also the Pig's Ear War and whilest 54' 40 or fight didn't result in anything major, you can't say the USA and the UK were on particularly great terms. And, during the Civil War, the UK came awfully close to recognizing the Confederate States of America.
And yet, by the time the USA needed to demarcate its Alaskan boundaries in 1900, the UK was a good friend. By WWI, we were supporting our English ally even over against the Germans, who arguably had populations that were almost as big. And, certainly by WWII, there was a "special relationship" that finally helped tipped the balance.
So, given this history between us, here's the simple question. How did the US and the UK become such good friends? I mean, obviously there's the historical connection, but overcoming the animosity of having to fight for your independence (and the stain of having lost its colony) has to hurt.
When, and how did we patch things up?

Industrial production fell 0.4% in October. Retail sales were down 0.3% in October. The producer price indices fell 0.2% in October as the topline consumer price index rose 0.1% and the core CPI increased 0.2%. The U.S. Treasury reported a $120 billion deficit in October. Business inventories increased 0.7% in September. Initial jobless claims spiked 78,000 to 439,000 for the week ended 11/10.
• Industrial production unexpectedly declined 0.4% in October. The Fed said that hurricane Sandy cut output by close to 1.0%, but fears over the fiscal cliff are also having a negative impact as businesses hesitate to raise output and invest.
• Retail sales fell 0.3% in October. A decline in auto sales in the northeast, due in part to hurricane Sandy, contributed to the decline. Excluding autos, sales were flat.
• Both the topline and core producer price indices declined 0.2% in October. A slight increase had been expected.
• The topline consumer price index edged up 0.1% while the core CPI rose 0.2%.
• The U.S. Treasury reported a larger-than-expected deficit of $120 billion in October.
• Business inventories increased 0.7% in September.
• Initial jobless claims surged 78,000 to a level of 439,000 for the week ended November 10th. This marks the highest level of claims since April 2011, and the largest one-week surge since Hurricane Katrina in September 2005 (when claims rose 96,000). Hurricane Sandy contributed to the rise in claims, but it is also suspected that fiscal uncertainty on the part of businesses played a role in the rise.
