Clock is ticking on Apple's Boot Camp beta

According to the terms, which are posted on Apple's Web site, the software is licensed only until Apple comes out with a commercial release of Boot Camp, or until September 30, whichever comes first.
The rub is that Apple has not said whether it will issue a final version of Boot Camp for Tiger users, though there have been rumors that Apple will offer a paid Tiger version of Boot Camp.
Either way, Apple is saying that those who have set up a Windows partition with the beta version won't just see their files magically disappear if they don't get the final version of the software. However, there may be some headaches and support options will be limited.
"The Windows installation on a user's Mac will continue to work after the Boot Camp license expires," said Apple spokeswoman Lynn Fox, in response to a query from CNET News.com. However, Fox said the Boot Camp Assistant software, which helps set up and manage Windows partitions, will not work after the beta period ends. Also, Fox said that Apple will not provide further driver updates for beta users.
The fact that the beta Boot Camp Assistant software will cease to work is noteworthy because that tool has a simple way for users to delete their Windows partition. There are ways to do it without Boot Camp, but it is a more difficult and potentially thorny process.
"The ability to create and manage partitions is important," said Current Analysis research director Samir Bhavnani. For example, Bhavnani said early users of the software might create a small Windows partition to try out the operating system, but after upgrading to Windows Vista or Office 2007, they might decide they need a larger Windows partition.
"That's probably the most common thing that someone would need to do, is change the size of their partition," he said.
Boot Camp is particularly important for Apple in its attempts to appeal to small businesses, a key target market. "Boot Camp for a small business is the difference between making that purchase and going over to a Mac, or not," Bhavnani said.
Bhavnani also said he expects Apple will not leave Tiger users in the lurch.
"Apple is a company that listens to its customers," Bhavnani said. "If they start getting negative publicity around this (and) if they have a sense that customers aren't ready to upgrade, I am confident they will do something to help support them."
The Cupertino, Calif.-based company's move to Intel-based chips has paved the way for running both Windows and the Mac OS on Apple's hardware. In addition to Boot Camp, which enables users to run either operating system, many people have opted for virtualization software from Parallels, which
That software got an update in February that added Vista support as well as a new Coherence feature that lets Windows programs appear more like native Mac software rather than running in a distinct Windows screen. Virtualization specialist VMware is also working on a Mac version of its software.

- Apple does not listen.
- I have no idea where Mr. Bhavnani got the idea Apple listens to customers. Apple does not listen, in fact Apple shuts down discussions etc when they point out a problem.

- More crap from CNET...
- This is old news. If anyone had actually bothered to read the
license agreement, it clearly states that BootCamp is beta software
and only available for a limited time.
I fail to see where this matters, as I'm certain most Tiger users will
want to upgrade to Leopard fairly quickly, especially the users who
have Intel Macs. I think there's a lot more anticipation for Leopard
than there was for Vista.

- Integrated into Leopard
- It makes sense that Bootcamp Final would be integrated into
Leopard - if you're a beta user then there is your incentive to
Not only that, Apple probably dont want to be supporting/
developing a stand alone bootcamp & an integrated version.
Most likely there will be some nifty features in the Leopard
version that just wouldnt be possible with Tiger - such as
parallel booting on dual processors, user switching : Vista <->
OS X etc etc
I think most people who have been using bootcamp in the past
will be excited about the final integrated version & will be
itching to update to Leopard.

- *shrug* parallels, rEFIt...
- The latter in the title even works the same way as Boot Camp does, which means that installing it would by a cinch.
Besides - who would be crazy enough to use beta software on a [i]boot loader[/i]? Don't get me wrong - on a spare box, sure, and for apps that aren't going to affect the OS, cool. But the MBR (okay, EFI)? nuh-uh.

- Makes me laugh
- Boot camp makes me laugh. All these years mac users have touted that the mac OS is so much better than windows, yet Mac's are now nothing but higher priced pc's that can run multiple o/s's, something windows based pc's could do for a long time.
Yes, yes, I know... people LOVE the mac o/s, but still need windows for some aps. Now instead of two pc's they can load windows on to their fabulous mac and have it run both.
What would impress me the most is if Mac could somehow get the game publishers to port their games over to the mac o/s platform. Then I might be tempted (especially for my son, who's pc I have to clean about one a month hehe). Better yet, why doesn't apple just give up on the hardware side and produce the mac o/s to run on any pc. That would be something to talk about. Then I could build me a comparable pc to a mac for about 2 grand cheaper and put OS/X on it.

- If your not willing to pay for services rendered while people put

buy a PC. It runs Windows exactly the same as any Intel Mac and
their dirt cheap. And your problem will be solved.
I for one, had no doubt Apple was going to charge for this useful
software that gives my Mac more functionality and will pay for it
(within reason of course). Personally, I believe the software is
worth more than Apple is said to be charging for it which is $50.

- It's a BETA Software
- What a waste of time to read a no news article like this!
Obviously CNET reporter does not know what BETA software means.
Just like betas of all versions of Windows (and countless other software). They are not licensed or supported to operate forever. You have to upgrade from a development version to a full functional version at one point or another.

- I found the article a little useful
- If you look at Apple's webpage for Boot Camp, it doesn't mention anything about support or, more importantly, any functionality being disabled after a given date. To find out that the software may be disabled or not supported at some point, you have to dig deeper. I just slipstreamed my original XP disc and SP2 with the intent of trying out Boot Camp soon, but I think I'll wait until Leopard now that I'm aware of this policy.
I think most reasonable people are okay without getting support on a beta product after the beta period is over; that makes sense. If its true that the Boot Camp Assistant won't work after a given date, then I think a reasonable person may have issues with the policy. Say if I install Boot Camp now but find that I'd like to uninstall XP after all. If Boot Camp Assistant isn't working when I decide to uninstall XP, then as a user I'd be frustrated with the policy. Sure, there are other ways to uninstall, but if those other ways are much more difficult or time consuming, then my frustration level would just increase knowing that the Boot Camp Assistant could do all of that for me.

- Apple isn't Microsoft
- In this article, it seems Apple is the "evil empire" who can lure customers with Boot Camp and then start charging for it. However, Apple has already confirmed (in this article) that the Boot Camp partition will continue to function after the Beta period, and I believe they will offer customers some options afterwards. I'm sure it will not cost even half as much as a Leopard upgrade.

- "Apple Listens To Customers?" HA!
- Apple is the most introverted, selfish, egotistical company in America (I never even thought I'd use those words on a Company, not a person). If they listened to Customers, they would have created Boot Camp YEARS ago, would have made prices CHEAPER, made the software EASIER to use, and I can go on and on with a whole litany of issues. Apple is a disgrace.

- They couldn't make it YEARS ago because macs used to run on
PPC Chips, which windows did not support. So making bootcamp
would have been a waste of time, if windows run on PPC i have
no doubt that Apple would have made the software all them
years ago.
Nearly all apple software is a simple drag and drop where you
want it app, how simple is that? And my Mac Pro is a higher spec
then my dads dell, and he paid £700 more for his then me.
Apples prices are now very competitive and everyone knows it.
Nearly every review around the web finds apple coming out
cheaper then most EXACTLY same spec'd machines, so pay less
and run more...

Dell for the same price and find that a whole lot is missing. Or
build your own and find that it just isn't up to snuff. Oh and keep
using Windows for "ease of use". Yeah, that's the answer. Your
comment shows that you've not used a Mac recently, doesn't it?
Apple is a damn good company that puts out quality hardware and

During a visitation on August 14, a caustic and angry Casey reared her head and jurors were seen taking notes.
On Sept. 29, The New York Times published a caustic diatribe against American Airlines by the novelist Gary Shteyngart.
To combat the wildfire of her natural and spontaneous appeal, a caustic air attack of firebombs ensued.
c.1400, "burning, corrosive," from Latin causticus "burning, caustic," from Greek kaustikos "capable of burning; corrosive," from kaustos "combustible; burnt," verbal adjective from kaiein, the Greek word for "to burn" (transitive and intransitive) in all periods, of uncertain origin with no certain cognates outside Greek. Figurative sense of "sarcastic" is attested from 1771. As a noun, early 15c., from the adjective.
caustic caus·tic (kô'stĭk)
A hydroxide of a light metal.
A caustic material or substance.
Capable of burning, corroding, dissolving, or eating away by chemical action.
Of or relating to light emitted from a point source and reflected or refracted from a curved surface.
Causing a burning or stinging sensation.

Why isn't my boyfriend trying to save our relationship?
I've been dating my boyfriend for 2 years and broke up with him after a major argument. Our relationship has been almost perfect but lately he's... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
From the what I get from that question, you sound like you broke up with him for attention from him, you expected him to call you and contact you and all that but I'm sorry to be the one to say this but maybe he has given up, no one likes arguing in relationships and if the two of you have broken up then maybe he just needs some time to himself. Give it a bit longer, maybe this is a sign that you should move on from him or perhaps he simply didn't care as much as you thought he did. If you said recently he's been a jerk, then why would you want him back? If he's a jerk to you and not worth it and you should find someone who treats you right.
A break up means a break up, doesn't mean that you always get back together or become good friends straight away these things take time to heal. Give him some time to think about everything and see how things go. In the meanwhile just have a laugh and have some fun with some friends and enjoy yourself with your new stress free and commitment free life!
Good luck (:

It seems to me that you take the shortcut instead of thinking it through before saying goodbye to him. I think he just respect your decision and letting you go and be happy with your life. He might have been a jerk, maybe something is bothering him. Have you talked to him about him being a jerk to you? I think that's what you need before breaking up. Well, you did what you did. I think you should text him and say you want to meet him to talk. Then, tell him how you really feel. I highly suggest for you to think that going back together is the best decision for you two. If you are sure about it, then contact him.

iNAND Standard
Sandisk's Optimus Ascend™ SAS SSDs are ideal for supporting collaboration, email and messaging, financial transactions, on-line transaction processing (OLTP) databases and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). These workloads are characterized by a mix of reads and writes, as end-users access business services delivering these solutions, and then write new data.
Collaborative workloads include email, messaging, and groupware. These workloads, such as Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft Exchange and Linux-based groupware, allow end-users to share content and to coordinate with others.
Optimus Ascend SAS SSDs ensure ease of use for end-users by reducing latency that slows down application performance. They improve the user experience for customers accessing email and collaborative applications, even as the amount of end-user updates ebbs and peaks throughout the workday.
Optimus Ascend SAS SSDs support hundreds of individual end-user sessions running on a central-site server rather than on local PCs. This approach protects enterprise data and ensures business continuity for the organizations that use VDI to reduce operational costs related to IT staff time and maintenance.
Optimus Ascend SAS SSDs avoid boot storms that slow desktop response times when large numbers of end-users start their VDI-based personal desktop applications all at once. Optimus SAS SSDs allow IT organizations to increase the number of virtual machines supported per server, without sacrificing performance and application response times.
(Preliminary specifications subject to change)
What products comprise the Optimus SAS SSD product family? The Optimus product family of SAS SSDs is comprised of four Multi-Level Cell (MLC) products: Optimus Eco™ SAS SSDs, Optimus Ascend™ SAS SSDs, Optimus Ultra™ SAS SSDs, and Optimus Extreme™ SAS SSDs. Each product is designed with a combination of high-performance, capacity, endurance, and reliability. The Optimus Eco SAS SSD is designed for mixed-use and read-intensive application workloads. The Optimus Ascend SAS SSD is designed for mixed-use application workloads with higher endurance than the Optimus Eco. The Optimus Ultra SAS SSD and Optimus Extreme SAS SSDs are designed for write intensive application workloads also at different endurance levels with the latter being the highest.
What are the specific differences between the Optimus SAS SSD products?
What application workload areas would be suited for each member of the Optimus product family of SAS SSDs?

West Allis - Little kids may once again wobble on their first ice skates while more sure-footed skaters breeze past them if a volunteer group is successful at bringing an ice rink back to LaFollette Park.
The Friends of LaFollette Park are sliding ahead with its plans, with help from Milwaukee County. The group already has already made one attempt at re-establishing the rink in the 18-acre park at 9418 W. Washington St.
Only last week, with a deep chill in place, the city of West Allis delivered water to flood to the playground surface.
Slight slip at first
However, the uneven surface combined with the return of warmer weather (and rain) washed out that first effort. If the cold had held out, the problem might have been overcome, said Barry Waddell, Friends president and also a captain with the West Allis Police Department.
The Friends will try again yet this winter, even though it's getting a little late in the year, Waddell said, and next year the group will aim for a December start-up.
"Next year we'll look at it earlier and get a base," Waddell said.
Milwaukee County is even open to having the pavilion serve as a warming house and a place for skaters to put their skates on, he said. The Friends will work with the county on the possibilities.
Warm ice memories
Waddell has happy memories of driving past the park and seeing kids of all ages skating and having a good time on the ice.
It's a healthy pastime, he said.
"It gets kids off the couch and gets them outside," Waddell said. "I think it's a great thing."
Alderman Michael May, who guided the plan through the Common Council, also nodded to the historic tradition.
"Historically there were outdoor ice skating rinks all over the city at various schools and parks," May recalled. "There are maybe one or two in operation today."
May applauded the Friends of LaFollette Park for taking the initiative to see the park put to more use in winter.

We're delighted to announce the return of our collaboration with Raf Simons for Spring/Summer 2013. The collection will launch in June during the European fashion weeks, and will be available to buy online and in our Laurel Wreath Collection shops early next year.
Speaking of the upcoming collection, Raf has said "We are very excited to re-launch the collaboration with Fred Perry. We have great appreciation for the heritage of the brand as well as their dynamism in guiding the brand towards the future. Their openness to create synergies between both our brands will bring interesting, creative results".

Del. Keiffer J. Mitchell Jr. said his bill would trigger a referendum in which city voters would be asked to create the Baltimore City Schools Construction Authority. If voters approved, the authority would administer a lump sum that the state would provide to the city each year to meet school construction needs.
Alonso has said he would like to borrow $1.2 billion to pay for an overhaul of the city's school buildings. That would be six times the school system's current bonding authority. As part of that idea, Alonso is asking the state to provide a guaranteed revenue flow of $32 million a year to apply to construction projects.
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, who has proposed raising the city's bottle tax to help pay for school repairs, said she has not decided whether to back Alonso's plan. And she said "it's too early to say" whether she would support Mitchell's proposal, though she said she is "intrigued by the notion."
Mitchell, a former city councilman and mayoral candidate, said he sees his bill as a companion to a separate measure, sponsored by Del. Keith E. Haynes and Sen. Verna Jones-Rodwell, that would convert the current system for funding city school construction from project-by-project financing to a block grant. Both are Baltimore Democrats.
Mitchell said the ballot question envisioned in his bill would set up a system in which the mayor would name the majority of the authority's seven-person board, which would also include the schools CEO and two members of the school board.
"There is at least some accountability because it is in the mayor's office," Mitchell said.
Mitchell said his bill does not call for a state role on the authority board but indicated he would consider such an amendment.
But Mitchell said it makes sense to give the mayor ultimate responsibility for how the grant is administered.
"The city owns the schools, the city owns the land, the city's on the hook," he said.
Baltimore Sun reporter Julie Scharper contributed to this article.

Posted: 01 Jul 2015
It's not actually called Beast mode, but pull to a stop and engage the Race setting, and the P1 starts to stretch and flex like a bird of prey just before it goes and does something raptorish to a mouse. The suspension drops 50mm, tucking the wheels into the arches, the rear wing with that weird C-section blade rises up a good 300mm. Automotive T'ai-Chi, and just as hypnotic. Then, after all the transformational theatrics, all that remained was to press the Launch button, hold the car on the brake with my left foot while flattening the accelerator, wait for the boost to reach optimum, release, and inhale my own teeth.

Tracing its emergent genealogy as a distinctly audiovisual medium, Spielmann provides a comprehensive catalog of video's aesthetic evolution from its early intermedial accords with television and performance to its more recent interactions with computers and networked digital media. As the media-specific distinctions between cinematic, televisual, and computer-based media have been eroded beyond recognition, Video: The Reflexive Medium provides a much-needed account of video's medial specificities and intermedial dependencies."--Anne Friedberg, Professor and Chair of Critical Studies, School of Cinematic Arts, USC, and author of The Virtual Window: From Alberti to Microsoft

Can I add one thing to your Del Rio, Epico/Primo/Mendez stable...Rey Mysterio returns and turns heel in one of the most shocking heel turns ever. He comes out with everyone thinking he is going after his arch rival Del Rio, instead Rey attacks the babyface that is opposing Del Rio and a new stable is born with Rey leading it...along with Del Rio, Epico, Primo, Mendez and Rodriguez...Let's call them Dusk til Dawn (because I love that movie and I dont know what the group would be called) lol Some of the best heel stables ever have been formed with a shocking babyface turning heel. Especially the tension and feud everyone is expecting to eventually happen between Rey and Del Rio...instead they join forces.
Loved your blog - thorough and interesting read!
Cody Rhodes, Tyson Kidd, Dolph Ziggler, The Miz, R Truth, Alex Riley,
none of the current WWE roster can draw on it's own, all of the wrestlers come out to dead silence with no cheering or booing... WWE is forced to have Rock Headline this years AND next years wrestlemania because their current guys can't hack it.
Let's face it, the WWE is dead within 5 years they have NO high caliber young guys
They don't have a Bobby Roode, James Storm, Davey Richards, Eddie Edwards, Samoa Joe
Good Blog...but it's the same thing that's been posted 100 times on here. Fresh, New, Ideas...That's what would make wrestling better, and that's what would make this blog board better.
Good blog mate. I love the fact that you said Cody Rhodes and Tyson Kidd should be in a best of 7 series match! That would be legend!
Not bad ideas at all. A couple of notes: Though they aren't doing anything with Devon, he certainly has a good backstage presence that would be needed to bring up the future guys. Plus, i'm almost sure that Bully Ray would have some say in whether his friend and partner of so long stays or goes. I love the manager choices, and who you put them on. Putting Flair on Aries would be gold. I think Aries is good enough on the mic to pull it off by himself, but with Flair...it would be great.

The Saint Louis University School of Law Black Law Students' Association (BLSA) in collaboration with the Saint Louis University Cross Cultural Center and African-American Studies program will host a lecture titled "Condemnation of Blackness: Race, Crime and the Making of Modern Urban America" at 4 p.m. Wednesday, March 2 in room 4 at the School of Law.
Khalil Gibran Muhammad, Ph.D., a scholar of African-American history from Indiana University and the recently selected director of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture (effective July 2011) will give the lecture.
The program is designed to illuminate the current relationship between the penal system and criminal justice system and black Americans who are overwhelmingly housed in prisons across America.

British author Ian McEwan defended his decision to accept Israel's Jerusalem Prize.
Writing in the the Guardian newspaper Wednesday, McEwan admitted his concerns "about Israel and the situation of the Palestinians, which is worse than ever." However, he maintained that he would go to Jerusalem to accept the prize, Israel's highest literary honor for foreign writers.
"I'm for finding out for myself, and for dialogue, engagement, and looking for ways in which literature, especially fiction, with its impulse to enter other minds, can reach across political divides," McEwan wrote.
The author of "Amsterdam," "Atonement" and "On Chesil Beach," McEwan is one of Britain's most celebrated contemporary writers. He was responding to a letter in the Guardian two days before from British Writers in Support of Palestine, a group which supports the cultural and economic boycott of Israel. The group said its members "deeply regret" McEwan's decision to accept "this corrupt and cynical honor."
In defending his decision, McEwan invoked previous recipients of the prize, which is given biennially to an author whose works best exemplify the "freedom of the individual in society."
"As for the Jerusalem prize itself, its list of previous recipients is eloquent enough. Bertrand Russell, Milan Kundera, Susan Sontag, Arthur Miller, Simone de Beauvoir—I hope BWISP will have the humility to accept that these writers had at least as much concern for freedom and human dignity as they do themselves. Their 'line' is not the only one. Courtesy obliges them to respect my decision to go to Jerusalem, as I would theirs to stay away."

Calmed my stomach
2 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer3272925 on Sep 12, 2011
This stuff is amazing! For details, keep reading! I knew I had some problems with my digestion (especially proteins). However when using HCl digestion aids, I got burning sensation in my stomach even with low doses. This of course can possibly mean that I don't have too low stomach acid. However, my nutritionist asked me to still try if my stomach was irritated for some reason and asked me to take 1 month worth of Zinlori. After using Zinlori for 1 month, I tried the HCl test again. As a surprise to myself, I could easily digest maximum allowed dose of HCl without getting any burning sensation. With Zinlori calming down my upset stomach, I was now able to use HCl to support my digestion and help me towards my mission of normalizing my stomach function. After using HCl for several weeks, I'm now convinced that I (still) have too low stomach acid: it feels like the food "melts" away right after I eat, I have less crawings for sweets and coffee, and my stomach and bowel function is much much more smooth and predictable. Without using Zinlori, I would have concluded that my stomach acid was high enough, thinking I didn't have a problem in first place!
Great stuff

I have suffered from gastritis like symptoms for almost a year. Within about a week, my problems have diminished greatly - I suspect that soon they will be gone. This has been an amazing product for me, and I intend to keep taking it!

Zinlori has been a major life saver for me. It really helps with my stomach upset (chronic atrophic gastritis) in just few days and relief of my extreme discomfort symptoms fast! I hope it helps heal me in time. I do not have H. Pylori or ulcer. I do take this along with Mastic Gum by Allergy Research, DGL by Natural Factors & N-Acetyl Cysteine by Source Naturals. Will continue using Zinlori!
Highly recommended product:)

Voice of football tells of love for Rams and why Old Big 'Ead was always happy to talk
Posted: March 16, 2012|
MYSTICAL and magical aren't words usually associated with football but then Mike Ingham, who mentions them when talking about how the game first gripped his soul, is no ordinary fan – or man.
When it comes to pearls of descriptive brilliance, there are few people with more clarity and perception than him –, a football commentator par excellence who is living a boyhood dream.
As a child, football meant the world to him. It was his love, his obsession, his life.
He says: "I used to play for the Wolf Cubs in Plymouth. We played on a parks pitch next to Plymouth Argyle's ground. When Argyle were at home you could hear the noise from 20,000 people. It was mystical, magical. It made you want to go inside. As you were playing you'd pretend the cheers were for you.
Related content
"My dad, Marshall, took me to my first football game at Plymouth in 1958. He made me a box to stand on. I've still got it. The kids used to stand at the front, sometimes away from their parents but it was safe."
When Mike was 10 his family moved to Derbyshire – Belper followed by Duffield and Quarndon to be exact. His deep connection with the Derby County was about to begin.
"I think if I had been 10 years older it would have been hard to transfer my allegiance to another team but because of my age I could make the switch to Derby. I wanted to watch my local team. The first game I saw at the Baseball Ground was in 1961 – the Rams versus Plymouth. Derby won.
"The first season I watched Plymouth they got promoted to the old Second Division. I remember seeing Derby for the first time. They beat us 5-0. I hated them that day!
"In those days it was more like theatre. The teams didn't warm up before the game, they just ran out."
Like any young lad, Mike treasured his football cards and programmes. "I still have all my programmes – every one tells a story. I used to write to people to get autographs too, sending a stamped addressed envelope. The first reply I got was from Brian Clough who sent me autographs of the Middlesbrough team."
At the time, Mike had no idea how important Clough would become in the world of football – or his life as manager of the team he watched home and away throughout his formative years. Even now he speaks about Old Big 'Ead with extreme reverence and reveals a tale of what he terms, with a smile, "excruciating embarrassment".
"When I left Derby to take a job with the BBC in London, my family was living in Quarndon, just down the road from Brian Clough. My dad decided to do a This-is-Your-Life-style send-off for me. He got someone at Radio Derby to do a tape with Tommy Docherty and one Sunday morning my dad marched up Brian's Clough's drive with a tape recorder in hand.
"I think a young Nigel (Clough) opened the door. If he had been a journalist dad would probably have been machine-gunned down but Brian let him in and, as a great family man, he was touched by the fact that my dad was showing love for his son. Brian allowed him to do a little interview with him!
"Years after, whenever I had to interview Brian he always asked after my dad. He also never refused me an interview, though I didn't ask very often."
Mike first met Brian Clough and Peter Taylor as a youngster in Plymouth.
"They came to the sports department at the Co-op before a game that day and signed autographs. It was 1960. Twenty years later I was interviewing them at Forest and I told them about asking for their autographs all those years ago. Clough turned to Peter and said 'ay, we remember you don't we Peter. You were the one who didn't say thank you'. They were a great double act."
Mike, who was at school with Simon Groom, of Blue Peter fame, and actor Timothy Dalton at Herbert Strutt Grammar School – "I tell people James Bond gave me detention" – watched the Rams soar to glory in the golden era under Clough.
However, before the "Messiah" arrived, Mike was on the pitch with hundred of fans at the Baseball Ground chanting "We want Ward" in support of Tim Ward who managed Derby from 1962-67.
With a football expert's eye for accuracy, Mike points out that the player whose arrival proved to be a defining moment for the Rams – Kevin Hector – was signed by Ward.
"Talk to anyone my age who supported the Rams in the 60s and they will tell you about the day Kevin Hector made his debut on December 24, 1966 – my 16th birthday. He scored the type of goal you would never normally see a Derby player score. It was a half chance but, somehow, it ended up in the back of the net.
"He had this incredible pace and the crowd purred along with it. It was completely different. He cost £40,000 which is about a fifth of what John Terry gets a week these days. I had a bet that Hector would play for England before his 21st birthday. I lost the bet but he was playing for England a couple of years later.
"When I was working for Radio Derby I got to interview Hector. He was a very self-effacing, modest man."
Back to the 60s and Mike, who used to stand on the Osmaston end at the Baseball Ground with his dad before joining the "choir" on the Popside later, recalls the Rams' transformation to a top side.
"I think when the likes of Ron Webster and Alan Durban arrived the seeds were being sown for what was to come. I used to cycle from Duffield to the Baseball Ground to watch the reserves game. I'd leave my bike outside, unlocked, and it would still be there after the game.
"In the 60s, watching the reserves was the only way to keep in touch with the first team because there wasn't the amount of media information there is today. I remember sitting behind Peter Taylor and he kept shouting the same thing, almost monotonously – 'hold it, hold it'. They bought John O'Hare in and that's what he did. O'Hare represented a change to a more sophisticated style of play.
"The first season Clough and Taylor were here was not fantastic. The big turning point was the arrival of Dave Mackay."
Mike recalls that the Derby Telegraph's former Rams correspondent, Gerald Mortimer, once pointed out that fate played its part in a team's fortunes. So it was with Mackay.
"Clough and Taylor were planning to sign Graham Cross from Leicester but he turned them down and they signed Mackay instead. I often wonder what would have happened if Cross had come in."
As history now tells us, Mackay went on to do a remarkable job for the Rams. Revitalised by the move, he became the lynchpin of the side and nurtured younger players to glory.
"The great thing about Clough, like Alex Ferguson (Manchester United's manager), was that he knew when it was time to make changes," says Mike. "Archie Gemmill and Colin Todd came in for Carlin and Mackay and the team moved on.
"You would have paid your admission just to see Colin Todd's tackles. When Clough signed him for a British record fee (£175,000), Derby was in the middle of a Rolls-Royce crisis and it lifted the city."
After gaining a law degree and hospital radio experience, Mike knocked on Radio Derby's door in 1973. "I was in the right place at the right time. I got a job working with reclaimed tape. I had to make sure tape was not wasted."
Mike's arrival at Radio Derby occurred in the year Clough and Taylor made their controversial departure from the Rams.
"It was scandalous that Clough was allowed to leave Derby," Mike says. "It was a clash of egos with (Sam) Longson. They needed a Henry Kissinger-type figure to intervene.
"Derby was Clough's spiritual home. He never left the area and he should never have left the club. I know Clough and Taylor regretted leaving. I don't think things were ever the same again after that.
"Mackay did fantastically well at first and made some great signings but eventually things started to fracture. I broke the news that Derby had clinched the league championship on Radio Derby in May 1975.
"It depended on the result of a match between Man City and Ipswich and it went the right way. The broadcast went out over the loudspeakers at Baileys nightclub."
Mike worked his way up the ladder at Radio Derby to become its sports producer, which changed things for him as football fan.
"At first I had to pinch myself when I was interviewing players I had looked up to on the pitch like McFarland, Hector and Alan Hinton but, as you get to know people, it becomes a job. You lose the fan worshipping side of it and you have to be impartial.
"If I am commentating on Derby now I am so conscious of my links to the club, if anything I go the other way to avoid being accused of bias. I was working when Bruce Rioch was a pundit once and he said 'everyone knows you are a Derby fan, Mike'.
Ever the professional, Mike was mortified but, when pushed, admits: "I suppose the first results I look for first are Plymouth, Derby, Torquay, where my parents Marshall and Madge live now, and Macclesfield, where my family originate from."
Though Mike lives in Buckinghamshire now, he was delighted to travel back to the area in January to collect an honorary degree from the University of Derby. His wife, Lorna, is a local girl with family in Mickleover and they have two sons, Marshall and George.
"The honorary degree meant so much to me because Derby and Derbyshire means so much to me. I was a teenager through the 60s and had so many life-changing experiences there."
But it's not hard to get him talking about football again. "Two of my favourite Derby players in the 60s were goalkeeper Reg Matthews and Eddie Thomas. Reg was a real eccentric. He was known for having a fag before the game and would chat to the fans.
"The atmosphere at the Baseball Ground was amazing. It gave the team a real advantage which I don't think Pride Park does.
"The fans were so close to the pitch and it was so muddy. When the likes of Spurs and Liverpool came they were almost beaten before they'd got on to the pitch.
"Derby is a genuinely huge club. There is a real intensity about football in Derby. I am sure Brian Clough is looking down over Nigel (Clough, current Derby manager) now. I hope they give Nigel time."
At 61, Mike, who received an MBE from the Queen in 2010 and is held in high regard in the broadcasting profession, is still excited and fascinated by every twist and turn in the world of football.
Like Kevin Hector, despite his talent Mike is modest and self-effacing. And, like Brian Clough, he puts family first.
"Can you send me a couple of magazines when it comes out because I'd like one for my parents," asked the eloquent broadcaster in his polite, humble and familiar tone more usually heard on national radio and TV.
No wonder Cloughie senior could never turn down an interview request from Mike Ingham.`Fathers and sons died in front of me'
Mike has commentated at seven World Cup finals and in numerous countries where England or Premiership clubs have played.
But his saddest moment was in 1985 at the European Cup Final between Juventus and Liverpool at the Heysel Stadium in Brussels.
Thirty-nine Juventus fans died when supporters stampeded before the game. The match still went ahead and Juventus eventually won 1-0.
Mike says of that game: "I have no memory of describing any of the football played that night. It was a complete irrelevance.
"I still find it unreal to think that the game went ahead after scenes that will live with me for the rest of my life.
"Fathers and sons died in front of me – 39 in all – and more than 600 others were injured. I had prepared for a football commentary and found myself in a war zone."MY TOUGHEST INTERVIEW OF ALL? IT HAS TO BE BRIAN CLOUGH!
In his decades working for the BBC, Mike has interviewed and got to know the most famous names in the world of football.
So which manager was, or is, the trickiest to interview post-match, Brian Clough or Alex Ferguson?
"Clough," he says after a momentary pause. "He's the only person I have ever had to deal with who had you on your toes the whole time. You could never feel you were mates. It was a mixture of feeling intimidated but inspired, so you could understand how a player would have felt.
"If you interviewed him for the first time it was like going through an audition for the first three questions – if you were still standing!
"You had to think about how you phrased every question. If you started with something like 'people might think...' he would immediately say 'which people?'. He would pick up on every single word.
"And you knew when it was the end of the interview because, after finishing his last sentence, he'd reach over, turn off your tape recorder and say 'and that's a very good out'."

Office of Public Affairs Info for Media
Release Date: February 19, 2010
Contact: Carol Schriber, 919-733-9190
RALEIGH – In response to concerns of a resident about cancer cases among people who worked at the Old Fort Elementary School in McDowell County, public health and environmental officials have been conducting a health and environmental study of the area. That study is now complete.
The N.C. Division of Public Health (DPH) and the federal Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) worked together to evaluate the potential adverse health effects among students and staff at the elementary school as a result of possible contact with toxic chemicals, asbestos and radon. The school is adjacent to the Old Fort Finishing site, 128 Mauney Ave.
DPH evaluated all available data from different sources on cancer rates in the area, groundwater contamination, and on the presence of volatile organic compounds, asbestos-containing materials and radon in the building and surrounding environment.
The health experts found that the cancer rates among people at the school were not any higher than would be generally expected in a comparable population. They did not find any indication that those at the school were in contact with toxic chemicals from the Old Fort Industrial Park site or with asbestos within the school. People's health is not harmed if they do not come in contact with those contaminants. However, the health experts did find that people in the school could have been in contact with harmful levels of radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas. Breathing air with elevated radon levels for a long time increases the risk of lung cancer.
Radon is present in soil, rock, and water and is not associated with the Old Fort Finishing site. The western and mountain counties of North Carolina have the highest levels of radon in the state.
The Old Fort Elementary School is working to reduce the radon levels and is planning to re-test the school to evaluate the effectiveness of their efforts. The N.C. Division of Public Health recommends that the McDowell County School System also work to reduce radon levels in other schools with radon levels over the "action level" of 4 pCi/L (4 pico-Curies per liter).
The full health consultation report and a two-page summary of the findings are posted on the Public Health Assessment, Consultation and Education (HACE) Web site at www.epi.state.nc.us/epi/oee/hace/reports.html.

Honestly gang, I don't know if we ever will do a Tennis list on our site as we are not certain of the interest. As of this writing, it is has never come up within internal discussions, nor has it among our visitors.
With that said, the International Tennis Hall of Fame has announced their latest class which was headlined by Jennifer Capriati. Although she won three Grand Slam tournaments, she is likely best known for her off court demons that likely cost her years of her playing career. Although we admit we are not tennis experts, we have to question whether three Grand Slam wins and fourteen tournament victories is really a Hall of Fame career.
She is joined by three time French Open winner, Gustavo Kuerten and master player Manuel Orantes, tennis industry executive Mike Davies and wheelchair champion Randy Snow, who was honoured posthumously.

London biopharma moves HQ to Babraham
Posted: May 23, 2014|
London biopharma company, PolyTherics is changing its name and has formed a new company, Abzena, which will he headquartered at Babraham Research Campus.
In July last year PolyTherics and Babraham-based company, Antitope merged in a £13.5m deal.
"During the summer PolyTherics' operations will move from London to the Babraham Research Campus in Cambridge, the current site of Antitope's operations, and thus Abzena's headquarters and major operations will be positioned at the heart of one of the world's leading clusters for biopharmaceutical innovation," the company says.
It will also grow its operations on the Warwick University Science Park where it maintains a presence following the acquisition of Warwick Effect Polymers by PolyTherics in January 2012.
John Burt, CEO of Abzena, said: "We believe there is a real opportunity for the company to capitalise on an increasing need for high quality outsourced early stage R&D capabilities and for Abzena to become a leading provider within this global industry.
"In PolyTherics and Antitope we have well established, respected brands and a broad range of complementary services and technologies. Our new company and identity will allow us to better communicate our full strengths and meet the significant demand we have seen from existing and new customers and partners."
Abzena operates a balanced business model that provides strong and growing revenues based on its service business and offers the potential for significant future growth through royalty bearing licences to its technologies. Over the past decade, PolyTherics and Antitope have built a global customer base which includes the majority of the major, international pharmaceutical companies, large and small biotech companies and academic groups.
Matthew Baker, chief scientific officer of Abzena and founder of Antitope, said: "Today's announcement of the formation of Abzena is an important next step in our strategy to become a leading provider of technologies and services which enable the successful development of biopharmaceuticals. While there will be no day-to-day changes for our existing customers and partners, we believe a new, combined identity provides a strong platform for further growth."

Kiddies' birthday parties are usually an excuse for parents to spoil their little tyke, for the kids to stuff their faces and for the mom to hire a clown to shake up the Coulrophobic dad. Enjoy a birthday party with a difference and opt for an action sport kiddies party at Action Sports Tyger Valley for R490.
Parties are usually a fun affair of cake, streamers, screaming kids and parents popping many a headache pill afterwards. At Action Sports Tyger Valley, instead of tormenting a clown by tying him to a pole, your kids can participate in an active, healthy sport. You can choose between action netball, cricket or soccer and the venue can accommodate 12 to 20 kids.
All ages are welcome and there is an unlimited soda fountain to quench their thirsts after hitting a few runs or screaming Laduma post introducing the ball to the back of the net. The game will also be refereed by a professional sports ref to truly make the experience authentic.
Unfortunately the party excludes the other birthday accessories like birthday cake and the much anticipated party packs; you'll have to bring those on your own but non-stop fun and improved hand-eye coordination is definetly guaranteed at this party. Opting to have a kiddies shindig at Action Sports Tyger Valley is also extremely convenient as the venue is fully equipped, so you won't have to scrape bubble-gum out of your couch or try to haul your garden furniture out of the bushes this year.

Wolves' Kahn gave Kurt Rambis summer homework
Jun 17, 2011, 4:36 PM EDT
Finally after two months of not meeting, not talking seriously about the future, General Manager David Kahn and coach Kurt Rambis finally sat down to talk about where the Minnesota Timberwolves are headed.
What took so long? Apparently Kahn had assigned Rambis homework — he wanted a written report from Rambis about changes needed. And said report was the primary topic of discussion, according to the Associated Press.
Minnesota Timberwolves President David Kahn says he asked Kurt Rambis to write a report about the changes he would make as coach if he comes back for a third season as head coach.
Kahn says he met with Rambis for four hours on Thursday night and planned to meet with him again Friday to discuss the report that Rambis turned in last week.
Kahn wouldn't say what the timetable is for a decision on Rambis' future.
Is this really all that hard? You needed to wait two months and discuss a written report? ("I want it to be at least 10 pages, double spaced, done with appropriate footnotes, and don't try to use a big font just so you can write less.") Sit down face-to-face, talk and see if you are on the same page still, make a decision. Do it within a couple weeks of the season ending. It's big decision, but it's not rocket science.
That said, Kahn needs to make sure whatever choice he makes works. He needs to make sure Ricky Rubio works. Because the bill on all his gambles is coming due.
- Justin - Jun 17, 2011 at 4:46 PM
All these antics are a bit silly. With that said, I would think that every good coach looks at the season as a whole and looks for what went right, what went wrong, and what changes to make. Look at the firestorm in the media toward Spoestra and the attacks he took even though he took his team to the finals.
- sknut - Jun 17, 2011 at 5:46 PM
Did Rambis use Comic Sans or does Gilbert have a monopoly on that font?
- zblott - Jun 17, 2011 at 5:48 PM
If item #1 on that report wasn't to get Kahn fired, it needs to be revised.
- randysavage4ever - Jun 17, 2011 at 6:52 PM
Is this serious?
- lonedog54 - Jun 17, 2011 at 8:07 PM
No coach in his right mind would want to work for this guy, no FA that wants to win will go to Timberwolves. A national joke.
- royalsfaninfargo - Jun 17, 2011 at 10:31 PM
Now outside of an idiot Kahn thinks hes a school teacher? How does this guy still have a job?
- iplaybingowitholdpeopleandwin - Jun 18, 2011 at 8:30 PM
I would say something….but Khan's already made a buffoon of himself by making Showtime's Enforcer write a paper in order to have a chance at keeping his job. that's pretty humbling…especially when your GM doesn't provide you with enough of the right pieces.

Granite Construction (GVA) reported a first quarter loss of 53 cents per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a wide margin. This prompted analysts to revise their earnings estimates significantly lower for both 2013 and 2014. This sent the stock to a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell).
Granite Construction is an infrastructure contractor and construction materials producer. It serves public- and private-sector clients in the transportation, power, federal, tunneling, underground, and industrial/mining and water resources markets.
GVA reported its first quarter results on May 9. Excluding an acquisition, revenues rose 1.5% while the gross profit margin declined 10 basis points to 7.9%. Meanwhile, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 69 basis points to 15.2% of total revenue. These factors led to a loss of 53 cents per share, well below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of -26 cents. It was the company's second straight earnings miss.
Although the backlog for Granite increased from $1.7 billion at year-end to $2.4 billion at the end of the first quarter estimates still fell significantly for both 2013 and 2014. This has sent the stock to a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2013 is now $1.12, down from $1.70 just 30 days ago. The 2014 consensus has fallen from $2.82 to $2.39 over the same period.
You can see this negative earnings momentum in the company's 'Price & Consensus' chart:

WPK Anniversary Marked Abroad
Pyongyang, October 10 (KCNA) -- Indonesian and Peruvian officials made public statements on Oct. 3 on the 66th anniversary of the Workers' Party of Korea and the 85th anniversary of the Down-with-Imperialism Union.
Ristiyanto, secretary general of the National Guidance Council of the Pioneer Party of Indonesia, said the WPK founded by President Kim Il Sung is a revolutionary party of Juche type enjoying absolute support and trust from the Korean people.
Its history is one of revolutionary activities of Kim Il Sung and, at the same time, that of the Songun revolutionary leadership of Kim Jong Il, he noted, stressing:
The WPK led by Kim Jong Il will always shine as the party of the President.
The secretary general of the Peruvian Group for the Study of Kimilsungism said that the WPK is demonstrating its might as a vanguard unit of the world revolution.
It has foiled the imperialists' moves to stifle socialist Korea and all hues of anti-revolutionary ideological tendencies and firmly maintained the revolutionary principle, he noted, adding the reality clearly proves what a proper option the WPK has taken.
Wahid Al Uksouri, chairman of the Arab Socialist Party of Egypt, also issued statement on Oct. 5 on the 66th anniversary of the WPK.

iPhone sales 'stalling' as rivals gain: survey
Apple's iPhone sales are sputtering as rival smartphone makers ramp up their offerings, a market research firm said Wednesday.
Apple's iPhone sales are sputtering as rival smartphone makers ramp up their offerings, a market research firm said Wednesday.
Samsung Electronics said Monday that global sales of its flagship Galaxy S smartphones had topped 100 million since the first model debuted in 2010, cementing its dominant position over US rival Apple.
Samsung has overtaken Nokia as the top mobile phone brand for 2012 and has opened up a decisive lead over Apple in the smartphone market, a research firm said Tuesday.
Sales of dedicated e-reading devices like the black-and-white Kindles are in an "alarmingly precipitous decline" this year after five years of rapid growth, research firm IHS iSuppli says.
Chinese computer maker Lenovo Group said it had become the global market leader in consumer and notebook personal computers, as it posted a 13 percent rise in second-quarter net profit.
Some 31 percent of US consumers have purchased tablet computers, and most of the others want one, a survey showed Wednesday.
While Microsoft is touting next week's launch of Windows 8 as the savior of the computer industry, PC makers and analysts are increasingly skeptical that the new operating system will lure consumers away ...
Global sales of personal computers are set to show a decline for the first time in 11 years, a new forecast showed Wednesday.
Ultrabooks—those sleek, lightweight laptop computers that were supposed to fire up PC sales—are not catching on with consumers, a new survey shows.
Global sales of tablet computers are expected to surge to 126.6 million in 2012, driven by the iPad and rivals with a smaller format, a market research firm said Monday.
On Thursday, Amazon.com Inc. unveiled new Kindle Fire tablet computers, the latest effort to compete with Apple's dominant iPad.
(AP)—Small is big for Murata: The Japanese electronics maker has developed the world's tiniest version of a component known as the capacitor. And that's potentially big business.
Apple extended its dominance in tablet computers in the second quarter, shipping nearly seven out of every 10 tablets, according to research firm IHS iSuppli.
Smartphones are set to make up a majority of the global handset market next year, fueled by surging demand from consumers in both wealthy and emerging nations, a survey showed Tuesday.
(AP)—Research firms say that what looked like a good year for computers and chips has fizzled.

DUBUQUE, Iowa - The Dubuque Hempstead Mustangs had the horses, and they rode them to victory.
For the most part in Friday night's intracity showdown against Dubuque Wahlert at Dalzell Field, both of Hempstead's front lines won the battle at the line of scrimmage. That enabled the Mustangs to hold a huge advantage in time of possession and bottle up Wahlert's Riley McCarron on the rare occasions the slippery back was able to get a carry or two.

Professional and amateur chefs will once again compete to serve up the area's best chili.
The 11th annual Chili Challenge to benefit the Mohawk Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross will take place on Sunday, Feb. 10, from noon to 3 p.m. at Francesca's Banquets and Catering in Ilion.
Professional and amateur chefs will once again compete to serve up the area's best chili.
The 11th annual Chili Challenge to benefit the Mohawk Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross will take place on Sunday, Feb. 10, from noon to 3 p.m. at Francesca's Banquets and Catering in Ilion.
Usually held on the Sunday after the Super Bowl, the event has regularly attracted more than 300 people looking for a tasty way to stay warm in the middle of winter.
"No football, no problem. The Chili Challenge is a great way to spend the Sunday between the Super Bowl and school break," Jennifer Balog, community chapter executive of the Mohawk Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross, said during a Thursday press conference at NBT Bank in Herkimer. "This is a fun event that helps us with our serious mission of providing comfort to the people who need it most throughout the Mohawk Valley."
"What's better comfort food than a nice hot bowl of chili? And taken from that through the challenge event-goers will help provide comfort and support to the American Red Cross," said American Red Cross Mohawk Valley Board Chairman Christopher Bray.
Balog said the Chili Challenge is one of the Mohawk Valley Chapter's top fundraisers.
Proceeds from the event will provide relief to victims of disasters and help people prevent, prepare and respond to emergencies, as Balog said working families in the Mohawk Valley often require emergency assistance for house fires, flooding and other disasters.
"Last year, the Mohawk Valley Chapter assisted 137 families affected by disasters, provided 228 emergency communications to members of the armed forces and their families and trained 16,997 individuals in CPR, first aid and other health and safety courses in Herkimer, Oneida and Otsego counties," she said.
The competition will include a Restaurant League and an Amateur League, with award categories in each league, including People's Choice, Most Unique, Best Presentation and Hottest in the Restaurant League and People's Choice and Most Creative in the Amateur League. The family-friendly event will also include a 50/50 raffle, a beer tasting and entertainment and music by DJ Kenny the Promo Guy.
Those attending the Chili Challenge will have the chance to vote for their favorites.
Competitors will include Dominick's Deli, Froggy's Take-out, Heidelberg Cafe, PK's Pub, Fairways Restaurant and Salvatore's Sorrento in the Restaurant League, and Assemblyman Marc Butler, Frank "Rusty" Brown of the Central New York Labor Agency, Herkimer County Sheriff Christopher Farber, Markus Neckerman, Matt Powers and the Kuyahoora Valley Ambulance Corps in the Amateur League.
Tickets are $10 and will be available at the door.
Francesca's Banquets and Catering is located at 144 E. Main St.

Wireless users accept data limits. Home Internet users hate them.
Back when AT&T, Verizon and other major wireless carriers quit offering unlimited data accounts to new customers and began urging current customers to move to shared plans, there was much anguish and gnashing of teeth. But based on a new study from the Government Accounting Office, the spirit of wireless customers has been broken – they've accepted data limits.

One thing Time Warner Cable Internet customers don't have to worry about is a limit on how much data they use each month. Most of the company's Internet service plans include unlimited data. But if Comcast's plan to buy TWC for $45.2 billion goes through, that could change. [Read More]

Most pirated books of 2009 – publishers shouldn't be worrying
January 4, 2010 | 10:31 am
By Paul Biba
Freakbits has looked at BitTorrent and compiled a listing of the 10 most pirated books – those that have been downloaded between 100,000 and 250,000 times. Most fall into the the "nerdy niche" or porn categories. As TorrentFreak points out, publishers' fears are largely unjustified as at the end of the year, Dan Brown, Stephen King, Stephenie Meyer and J.K Rowling were the only best selling authors that made it into the top 25.
Authors who put their head in the sand are also mentioned. J.K. Rowling, who won't allow ebooks of her works to be published, has every single one of her books available digitally as they were either transcribed or scanned by fans. So much for the ultimate DRM – don't publish! Even that doesn't work. Simon & Schuster shot itself in the foot by not publishing an ebook of Stephen King's Under the Dome, as it was almost immediately available on the net within days. How many sales did they loose by delaying ebook release? Note that Rowling and King are among the top 25 most pirated books. All those sales lost, lost lost because publishers don't understand the ebook space.
The 10 most pirated books after the break:1. Kamasutra
2. Adobe Photoshop Secrets
3. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Amazing Sex
4. The Lost Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci
5. Solar House – A Guide for the Solar Designer
6. Before Pornography – Erotic Writing In Early Modern England
7. Twilight – Complete Series
8. How To Get Anyone To Say YES – The Science Of Influence
9. Nude Photography – The Art And The Craft
10. Fix It – How To Do All Those Little Repair Jobs Around The Home
The list makes me wonder if book 8 was often downloaded along with books 9 & 3 at the same time…
Showing that porn is pirated more than bestsellers is meaningless. A lot depends of actual and relational numbers. The site said from between 100 and 250 times per title. If Twilight was stolen by downloading only 250 times, then what is the estimate for in store shrinkage, i.e., Shoplifting. I'm guessing, purely out of nowhere, that the number is higher than 250 across the country over all bookstores, but I don't really know.
Also, I don't visit pirate sites, so can't truly judge, but does 250 for Twilight seem kind of low to anybody? Maybe the actual number gets higher when other sites are included.
So are more books stolen by downloading or shoplifting? And what is the percentage per title?
All these numbers prove is that pirating reflects the popularity of the paper version of the title, and they certainly aren't justification for stealing.
That's 100 to 250 thousand copies.
It'd be interesting to know what percentage of those who grabbed pirate copies of Under the Dome did so because they didn't follow any bookbiz blogs, never heard the news about the delay, and on publication day they saw that the p-book was available but no e-book. Don't know how you'd get that number, though.
What I'd love to see would be a publicly accessible site performing for ebooks the same functions as Books in Print and Forthcoming Books in Print. How many people download pirate editions because the books they want are apparently unavailable through legit sources, with no word as to whether they ever will be? How many would bother with pirate sites if they knew for certain that a legit ebook of the title they want was scheduled for late April, with notes on available formats and price range?
Bests to all,
I don't think the Kamasutra is copyrighted. If it is not, how does one pirate a public domain book. Is that not an oxymoron?

The NewGround crew—the Jewish and Muslim fellows who participate in the joint program of the Progressive Jewish Alliance and the Muslim Public Affairs Council—spent some time in February recording conversations for StoryCorps. Last week, Krista Tippett highlighted on her NPR program "Speaking of Faith" the conversation between Malka and Aziza, who run the program.
Together these young women are implementing templates of practical relationship that value curiosity over assumptions and understand conflict as part of any relationship. Krista Tippett explores what they are learning from their work in the microcosm of Los Angeles – and the larger universe of risky innovation of which they are part.
Listen in.

Brachychiton rupestris
Common Name:
Bottle Tree, Kurrajong
Family Name:
Botanical Name:
Brachychiton rupestris
Sub Species:
On younger trees, the leaves of B. rupestris are palmately-lobed. As the tree matures, the leaves become narrow and lance-shaped and the trunk begins to take on a swollen appearance, which can become quite pronounced in older specimens. Flowers are small and pale yellow in color. Bark is lime green on young trees and becomes fissured as the tree ages and expansion occurs.
Life Form Description:
Bra rup
Geographic Origin:
Ecozone Origin:
Biome Origin:
Natural History:
Native to the eastern side of Australia, Kurrajong (an Aboriginal term) is found in Queensland where it survives in dry conditions. When brought into cultivated landscapes, overwatering and bad drainage can cause problems for the plant. Similar to Brachychiton populneus, the Queensland Bottle Tree can quickly succumb to Teas Root Rot during our humid summers.
Cultivation Notes:
Propagation of Brachychitons can be accomplished by either seeds or cuttings. Seeds are reported to germinate with little treatment and early growth is quick. ====================================================================== Natural History of the UA Campus Arboretum Specimen: The UA Kurrajong was started from a cutting; the source tree is here in Tucson. Since installation in 2005, the UA tree has increased more than 12 feet in height. It is thriving in post-construction soil on the east side of the Math Building. Brachychiton rupestris is suitable for USDA Zone 9 (Tucson) if protected on cold nights when young.

Home > snowboarding > Sequence Films | Split the Sin Trailer
While there seems to be some collective questioning each season about whether snowboarding has finally hit its peak or further progression is indeed possible, or whether snowboarding is completely gay and everyone who does it should just quit and learn how to skateboard, each year those questions are proven to be stupid by a bunch of dudes who are shredding the shit out of some snow. This year's answer comes from Sequence Film's Split the Sin. Ask Alex Bocaj, Yan Devo, Kael Hill, Zach Aller, Fred Lacroix, Hugo Kartier, Brendan Gerard, Shawn Colley, Matt Caron, Yan Lamontagne, P-N Lessard, Phil Tardif if snowboarding is dead and see if you don't get punched in the mouth.
uhhh, yeah, all those questions were proved stupid without a doubt. the obvious answer being yes. this shit is gayer and more played out than ever. sweet rails and frontside 360's….really changing the game. a bunch of faggot ass snowbro's trying to be hipsters. awesome.
Everyone seems to think that we snowboard cause we cant skateboard. What the f? I dont usually respond to comments on web sites but id like lighten up some people on this matter. I guess these kind of comments come from skaters that dont shred. If u dont like shredding then go on skateboarding web sites. We snowboard cause we were born with one and thats what we do. Watch the movie and Then hate or actually, dont even bother

BOISE, Idaho-The Boise State softball team continued its offensive surge Sunday, beating Seattle 8-0 in six innings in the finale of the Boise State SpringHill Suites Invitational. The Broncos used four home runs, including two from freshman Devon Bridges, to earn their seventh-consecutive win.
"It was great to finally be able to play at home," said head coach Erin Thorpe. "It let us relax a little bit and allowed us to play the way we know we are capable of."
Bridges started the scoring with a grand slam in the first inning to straight-away center field and Boise State never looked back. It was the second grand slam in school history. Sophomore Ashley Collier added an RBI single in the frame to give the Broncos a 5-0 lead after one.
Collier was the starting pitcher, making her first appearance of the season in the circle. She allowed a runner to reach scoring position in each of her four innings, but held the Redhawks scoreless. Collier allowed just one hit, walked five and struck out a pair to earn the win. It is the second win of Collier's career, the first coming exactly one year ago March 6, 2010, in a complete-game shutout against Wichita State.
Sophomore Lela Work pitched the final two innings, preserving the shutout for the Broncos.
Boise State scored its final three runs of the game on solo home runs. Sophomore Holly Bourke led off the third inning with a blast to center, her second of the season. Bridges followed three batters later with her second home run of the game. She became the fifth Bronco to go deep twice in the same game. Bridges also tied the school record with five RBI in the game.
Junior Allie Crump ended the game leading off the sixth inning with her fifth home run of the season. Crump is now tied for fifth on the all-time single-season home run list. The game-ending blast gave Boise State 15 home runs in the five games at Mountain Cove Softball Field. The team combined to hit four in the first 12 games of the season.
"This weekend was definitely a confidence-boost," Thorpe said. "It was a lesson in winning and hopefully we can take that into the next weekend."
The seven-straight wins ties a school record and the Broncos will look to extend that mark beginning Friday at the Santa Clara Bronco Classic. Boise State will play five games during the three-day tournament.
Tazz Weatherly made the 100th start of her career against Seattle, the fourth Bronco to reach the milestone...Weatherly recorded her team-leading seventh multi-hit game going 2-for-3...Boise State has scored 64 runs in its last seven games, following back-to-back shutouts...Devon Bridges extended her hitting streak to seven games, the longest by a Bronco this season...Freshman Natalie Kelley recorded the first hit of her career in the fifth inning.
