Scientists, fisheries regulators, conservation groups and anglers across the Southeast seem to be gearing up for a prolonged battle over Marine Protected Areas (MPAs).
The South Atlantic Fisheries Management Council (SAFMC), which oversees offshore fishing from North Carolina south to Key West, meets in Charleston next week. The council, which includes a mix of fisheries managers, scientists and anglers, will consider a plan calling for a dramatic expansion of MPAs throughout the Southeast.
How hot could things get? Consider this: Some of the experts involved in the MPA planning process are lobbying for a ban on all types of fishing — including trolling — at some of the region's hottest offshore spots. Popular areas identified in a series of reports on the matter include the Georgetown Hole (called Devil's Hole in agenda briefings) and Edisto Banks off South Carolina. The famed Big Rock area off North Carolina was also identified as a possible MPA site.
MPAs can take many different forms. One type outlaws bottom fishing within its borders but allows anglers to troll for sport fish such as dolphin, wahoo and marlin.
Another type, the "no-take" version, bans all types of fishing. Some argue that this approach makes enforcement easier and provides a safe haven for multiple species of fish.
In all their forms, MPAs are touted as a way to provide sanctuary to breeding populations of fish and ultimately improve fishing outside of their borders.
Advocates of the more restrictive, "no-take" areas might face an uphill battle. In a vote earlier this year, SAFMC members decided that any new or expanded MPAs would not include a ban on offshore trolling, according to Gregg Waugh, SAFMC deputy executive director.
It's widely expected that during next week's meeting, environmental groups will lobby to keep "no-take" alternatives alive.
Though recommendations to forbid trolling as well as bottom-fishing are a new development, MPAs themselves are not. In an effort to combat overfishing of snapper-grouper species, the federal government in 2009 established eight MPAs covering more than 500 square miles off the Southeast. All of those areas are Type II MPAs, which means bottom fishing is banned but trolling is allowed.
A final decision on which MPAs to establish or change — if any — is not expected at the upcoming meeting, scheduled for Sept. 16-20 at the Charleston Marriott Hotel on Lockwood Boulevard. In fact, any plan to add new MPAs or expand or otherwise change existing areas would most likely involve months of debate and public hearings.

Tarpon bite
Rumors are swirling that tarpon have finally arrived in full force. One of my buds reported red-hot fishing south of Charleston last week, and anglers to the north are gearing up for this weekend's Lowcountry Tarpon Tournament.
Capt. Steve Roff of Barrier Island Guide Service (843-446-7337), who fishes mostly north of Charleston near Winyah and Bulls bays, confirms that the bite is on. Roff expects the action to peak in mid-September, when the mullet run starts. "Last year it started for us on the second day of the Lowcountry Tarpon Tournament. I think it was Sept. 14.
"Look for big baits around sand bars and points," Roff advised. "We catch 80 percent of our tarpon in less than 10 feet of water. ... Learn how the big baits move in your area and you'll be around the tarpon.
The captain's meeting for the tournament will start at 5 p.m. on Sept. 12 at Limpin' Jane's in Georgetown. Competition begins at 6 a.m. Sept. 13 and runs through 3 p.m. Sept. 14. Entry is $400 per boat.
Fishing is restricted to the waters of Charleston and Georgetown counties.
The tournament is strictly catch-and-release; the winning boat will be determined by the highest total number of tarpon deemed caught and released in accordance with the rules. For details and complete rules, go to lowcountrytarpon.com.
A reception and awards banquet starts at 5 p.m. Sept. 14 at Lands End restaurant in Georgetown. There will be a Q&A session with local tarpon guides and a presentation on tarpon research. The event is open to the public.

New Mexico Lobos Mountain West Basketball – In The Pit
Tuesday: New Mexico 84, Boise State 75
By Richard Stevens – Senior Writer/GoLobos.com.
The hammer, the foot, the Lobos' edge, came down hard in the first half. The Boise State Broncos did their best to raise that New Mexico weight off their backs. They couldn't do it.
"They really didn't have an answer for us in the first half," said Lobo Coach Craig Neal after the 84-75 win that pushed New Mexico to 5-1 in the Mountain West. "To play us, you have to play big-big because you have to guard us (inside). I think most teams are trying to match up with us because they have seen our success."
The Lobos ran and muscled their way to a 40-27 halftime lead and the Broncos managed to cut that gap to 69-64, in possession of the ball. But the Broncos couldn't make the buckets or the plays and UNM again pulled away.
"I think guys made shots and guys made plays and that was big," said Neal. "Especially when it was cut to (five). We had guys step up. I thought we beat an excellent basketball team tonight. They can come at you in waves."
Greenwood was a Lobo who stepped up. He scored 20 to top the UNM scoring charts.
"It's just been a matter of time; just trying to join the (scoring) party," said Greenwood of his shooting touch that was damaged due to a wrist injury that had placed him on the bench.
"In the back of my mind, I knew I needed to help them (Alex Kirk, Cameron Bairstow and Kendall Williams). I'm just trying to help those guys out and take pressure off their back."
Said Neal of Greenwood's scoring: "I think we've always expected that. He had passed up shots in the past, but he played really free tonight. He was terrific tonight and made some big shots."
Coach Neal excited the crowd early by wearing his red blazer, which is supposed to bring Lobos luck. "I heard the roar and didn't know what it was," said Greenwood, who said he then looked over and say Neal's red coat.
The Lobos kept that roar going by running to a quick 17-4 lead – and never allowing Boise to take control of the scoreboard.
Said Bairstow of Neal's color choices (red blazer/plaid pants): "I liked the blazer. I wasn't too sure about the pants, but it seemed to work."
Second Half:
The Lobos came out of the half up 13 and at the 15:57 break had pushed the gap to 51-36. At the 11:53 media stop, UNM was up 59-46 coming off a Kirk dunk. UNM was shooting 88.9 percent in that half at that point – 8-of-9 with 17 game points going to Greenwood. UNM was shooting 61.1 percent for the game. The Broncos needed to cool UNM down. The Broncos were up on the boards 30-to-18, but there weren't too many UNM misses to chase down.
"It was good to see him (Greenwood) get going and get his touch back," said Bairstow. "Hopefully, that will carry over into the following games. That helps open things for us inside."
The Broncos were playing better on offense in the second half, but weren't having much luck on defense. At the 8:47 mark, Boise finally cut UNM's lead into single digits at 64-55. The visitors from Idaho used the line to cut it to seven. UNM needed a little run. UNM got a big trey from Greenwood to launch the Lobos back up by 10 points, 69-59 with 6:32 to play.
A key moment of the game came near the five-minute mark. Williams had missed a one-and-one chance and forced up a driving layup that missed. Boise had the ball down 69-64, but turned it over. Williams banged in a trey: 72-64.
"We kind of let them back in it," said Bairstow.
At 3:38, Boise had the ball down 74-66 and called for a team huddle. The Broncos were in a difficult situation. They had to outplay the Lobos in almost every area for more than three minutes – in The Pit. They also had to keep UNM off the line.
The Broncos couldn't do it. A Williams-to-Bairstow feed led to a layup at the 2:19 mark that pushed UNM up 77-68. They rode that cushion to the Mountain West win.
"We're 5-and-1. That's pretty good," said Coach Neal. "Our guys have done a heck of a job concentrating and getting wins."
First Half: New Mexico 40, Boise State 27
The early pace had a familiarity to it. It reminded you of hockey players pounding each other into the glass or maybe ultimate fighters in a cage. It was physical on both sides, but the Lobos were making their shots and Boise was not. So, the Broncos called time, down 9-2, at the 16:35 mark. Williams had five points and Bairstow had four. At the 15:22 media break, UNM was up 12-4 off a Greenwood trey.
"I think we had a better defensive mindset," said Bairstow.
It cooled down a bit after that – on the physical level. UNM continued to shoot it. The Lobos went up 17-4 on a Williams' trey before Boise cut that to 17-9 at the 10:35 break. Two laser-accurate jumpers by Bairstow moved the board to 23-11 and Boise decided to huddle at 8:10. The Lobos were playing good defense and good help defense, but even when Boise was patient enough to work for an open shot, they often missed.
Bairstow continued to dominate – at both ends. He pushed UNM into a 26-15 lead. He then fed Cleveland Thomas a loose ball and Thomas went coast-to-coast for a layup plus one at the line: 30-15. A Greenwood follow of a Thomas miss made it 32-15 and almost everything was going the Lobos' way because they were making it go their way. The best thing Boise could hope for was to make it into the halftime break with a pulse. And hope the Lobos didn't sharpen their fangs at the break.
UNM dashed up the ramp with a 40-27 lead.

Nevada's tourism department is responsible for promoting and marketing Nevada as a tourism and travel destination. This includes editing, publishing and distributing publications that promote the state of Nevada. A director appointed by the governor directs and supervises all tourism department operations. A 15-member commission advises the tourism department.
The Nevada Commission on Tourism is composed of the lieutenant governor, who serves as chair; eight members appointed by the governor; the chief administrative officers of the Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority and the Reno-Sparks Convention & Visitors Authority; and the following ex-oficio, non-voting members: the Chair of the Commission of Cultural Affairs, the Chair of the Board of Museums and History, the Chair of the Nevada Indian Commission, and the Chair of the Board of the Nevada Arts Council. The governor-appointed members must possess experience and professional background in the tourism, travel or hospitality industries, including gaming. The governor must appoint at least one member who resides in each of the three following locations: Clark County, Washoe County and at least two members who are residents of counties whose whose population is 100,000 or less.
The tourism operation is funded entirely by the hotel and motel room tax paid by visitors to Nevada, not by resident taxpayers. It receives three-eighths of 1 percent of the room tax as its operating budget. The publication operation is self-funded through the sale of advertising and subscriptions. Duties of the tourism department include, but are not limited to:

Rated 3 out of 5�by 1 reviewer.
Rated 3 out of 5�by sbrya28 Cruise-worthy dress! I purchased this in the Small Petite, Golden Rod color. I always jump at the chance to buy Petite sizes from Bebe, as I am 5'3". This helps me to avoid having to get my dresses hemmed, and that is exactly the case with this dress. It hits the floor on me, which is ok because I plan to wear white heel sandals with this. The color combo looks really good with my skin, and the dress flares out just slightly, so it's not too tight around my hips. The two downsides to the dress are - 1. The slip underneath comes to about mid calf. On this color dress it shows right through. 2. The chest portion of the dress is not lined, so unless you are pretty daring, some parts of the anatomy around that area will show through. I tried a strapless bra with it, which helps, but then the bra outline shows through the material. I'm still up in the air on this dress; perhaps I'll try the magenta color to see if I have the same issues or not. But I still recommend it, as I can see myself wearing this on a hot summer night on a beach or cruise! August 1, 2013

Pentagon officials announced Tuesday they will postpone the forced unpaid leave for civilian employees pending analysis of legislation that could affect their budget.
The officials will not issue 30-day notices of the leave, or furlough, until about April 5.
Officials are delaying the notice so they can review pending legislation regarding the federal budget for the rest of the fiscal year. The legislation could reduce the number of furlough days required, according to the Defense Department.
Currently, the Pentagon is expecting that civilian employees will have to take 22 days of unpaid leave before the end of September.
More than 5,000 civilian employees work at local Air Force bases.
The 22 furlough days would result in about a 20 percent pay cut for about six months, and many employees are worried about how they will be able to meet their financial obligations.
Despite the furlough being pushed back, officials at Eglin Air Force Base and Hurlburt Field are continuing to prepare for it and have resources to support civilians who are affected.
"We want them to know there is hope, there are steps that can be taken to mitigate the impact," said Mark Wilke, director of the Airman and Family Readiness Center at Eglin.
Wilke's center and a similar one at Hurlburt are equipped to provide one-on-one financial planning sessions to assist affected employees, as well as a space to talk about the stress of a sudden loss of income.
Officials said they haven't yet seen an increase in the number of people seeking counsel at the centers.
Wilke said he thinks employees are still processing their situation, but the resources are there if and when they need them.
Financial counselors can help employees figure out how the furlough will affect their monthly income, review their monthly spending plan and assess how the loss will impact their long-term financial goals.
Wilke said they can sometimes find ways employees can offset the income loss.
He said during the stress of facing sudden pay cuts, people can forget some of the fairly simple adjustments they can make to save money. The counselors try to help them identify categories of spending where they could cut back, such as packing a lunch instead of eating out or reducing their gasoline bills by driving less.
Wilke said all the employees at the center will also be affected by the furlough, so they understand the challenges and stress.
"We cannot only give advice, but we can empathize because we're in the same boat," he said. "We're just helping folks to look at their options because sometimes in the fog you may miss something here or there."
The counselors can also point to resources in the community that can provide food and other necessities if employees are living paycheck to paycheck and find themselves in trouble, or help employees apply for emergency financial assistance.
"They may look at some of the options they might not have normally considered," Wilke said.
Many civilian employees have expressed concerns that with the pay cut they will be unable to meet financial obligations to lenders, which would hurt their credit and be potentially devastating to their financial future.
Wilke suggested taking proactive steps.
Because there are still several weeks before the first possible furlough day May 6, employees should contact their creditors now to let them know in advance about their situation.
He said most financial institutions have programs available to help with sudden losses in income.
"I really encourage them to talk to their banks, their credit unions, their mortgage lenders," he said. "Most lenders are not looking for their folks to default. They want their clients to be successful, too."
Also, if an employee requests, Air Force management will be required to write a letter explaining the furlough situation to anyone the employee is struggling to make a payment to, according to a labor agreement between civilian employee unions and the Air Force that was signed earlier this month.
LaVonne Vasques, director of the Airman and Family Readiness Center at Hurlburt, said the centers also have people to help with personal issues.
"They can talk about the stress they are feeling with their work life and how to be resilient through this," she said. "Any kind of concerns, they should be coming over or calling us and seeking our assistance.
"It's one team, one fight," she said.
Affected employees can contact the Airman and Family Readiness Centers at Eglin Air Force Base and Hurlburt Field with questions or to set up an appointment. Walk-ins are also accepted. Call the center at Eglin at 882-9060 or at Hurlburt at 884-5441.

About this Book

- Published:
- Release: P1.0 (2011-02-16)
Your Ruby on Rails application is sick. It's got bugs. Nobody remembers what that tricky piece of code was supposed to do, and nobody can tell what it actually does. Deadlines are looming, but every time you make the slightest change to the code, something else breaks.
You need Test-Driven Development (TDD), a proven process for improving the design, maintainability, and long-term viability of software. In TDD, the tests come first, and then code is written to match the expectation of the test. Using TDD means writing better code faster.
Ruby on Rails has unparalleled support for TDD. In addition to the tools that Rails has built-in, a large and thriving testing community adds new tools at an accelerating rate. Rails Test Prescriptions is your guide to the entire Rails testing ecosystem.
Containing both practical code examples and discussion of why testing works, this book starts with the most basic features delivered as part of core Ruby on Rails. Once you've integrated those features into your coding practice, you'll want to use popular third-party testing tools such as RSpec, Shoulda, Cucumber, Factory Girl, and Rcov. Rails Test Prescriptions will show you how to use these tools and when they are appropriate. Rails Test Prescriptions covers both Rails 2 and Rails 3.
If you are a Rails programmer who tests code, this book is an invaluable guide to the latest in available testing tools. If you are a Rails programmer who doesn't test code, then start testing immediately: this book can help.

Hello friends, I hope the beginning of the holiday season is going well for everyone!
I spent my Thursday night getting to know some really special people that I wanted to tell you about.
I was invited to show our wedding dresses at the Bride Chic: Bergen County Brides Cocktail Party, which was to benefit Wish Upon A Wedding - New Jersey. This was an exclusive, one vendor per category event, so of course I was very happy to have been asked to attend.
The Bride Chic event, presented by the Women's Club of Ridgewood New Jersey, was held in a beautiful, historic Colonial building. I heard a few brides enquiring about the space for themselves.
Not only was this a great opportunity to showcase our Lo-Ve-La by Liz Fields wedding dress collections, but it was great fun as well! How could it not be with delicious food, wine tasting, and of course prizes! Oh and did I mention that the event was emceed by Lisa Page, DJ of 92.3 and that Megin DeCarlo, of 'My Big Friggin Wedding' spent the night giving tips to brides-to-be!?
My new friend Nestor Cristancho, photographed this posh event, and was kind enough to share some images of our bridal gowns for you to enjoy!

DYE Travel Blog: Pete "Mr.U" Utschig CSP Equador 2011
Often I hear how lucky I am to be a pro player and get to travel the world go to cool places and meet all kinds of people. I do realize how lucky I am but there is always a place or an event that really emphasizes it. Last month I was able to live out one of my life long dreams and travel to the Galapagos Islands, the best sponsor any paintball player could ask for, DYE and my South American teammates Zurikatas made all possible. Since the islands are located in Ecuador the country where the CSP was being held. I called up my buddy Tony Perez, who was playing in the event with the team Wild Dogs Columbia, we set up a 3-day man venture.
First stop was Quinto the biggest city in Ecuador and then we were headed off to a real life version of Jurassic park. We were greeted at the airport by Andres a friend and paintball dealer of the Zurikatas guys. We were treated like kings and got to see the Island through the eyes of a local. The Island was alive from the moment we stepped on the ferry. Sea Loins lounged around the docks as if they were part of the population, giants sea turtles swam up next to our boats to just check us out what we were up too.
All kinds of birds, giant swimming lizards and big sharks, yes sharks were just an arms length away, and sometimes closer. Since swimming with sharks is something I would never ever do at home in NYC (because I am scared) Tony decided it was on top priority to do in Galapagos, and boy did we find the sharks. We rented a boat and hired a captain for a snorkeling tour, added in some breath taking Tortuga Bay beach hiking, and even some underwater cave diving to round up the three days of adventure.
But as all good things eventually have to come to an end it was back to business as we flew up to Quinto where we held a clinic for 30 players at the site of the event. The clinic ran great with Tony taking time to talk at the press conferences setup by the organizer Isreal Hildalgo. All the players were eager to learn, as I have found from last trip to South America they picked up all the drills and skills extremely quick. At the end of the clinic all the participants were recognized for their hard work with a certificate and autograph session with the pros.
The venue for the event was a paintball players dream; it was 2 minutes walk from Ecuador's most prestigous mall. The Organizers of the event went out of their way to make sure paintball was being brought to the media. Multiple TV and radio stations covered the event. It had more outside sponsors then I have ever seen at a paintball event. Vendors were they're promoting everything from cell phones to Rum drinks. Representing the US was an all star crew of paint ballers, Ryan Greenspan played with Mercenaries from Brazil, Ironmen Scott kempt and Kyle Spica added to the already strong Evolution squad, Tony Perez led the super aggressive Wild dogs from Columbia, Justin Swartz and myself played with the home town boys Zurikatas.
The event ran smooth and due to the location attracted a ton of outside interest and foot traffic that filled up the grand stands. The hometown Boys Zurkatas amateur played great all weekend and took home the Gold in the amateur division. We were not able to put it totally together this event and walked away with third in the pro divisons. All our games came down to one point but in the end we couldn't find a ways past the Wild Dogs into the finals. Evolution played strong all event and were able to tame the wild dogs with a very technical couple of points in the finals.
Make sure you check out the video for some through the x bunkering action and video clips from the Galapagos Islands.
See you next time in Peru, or you can try and see me in my DYE Cam in Berlin, but good luck on that.

Sony at war, could pull music from iTunes
It appears as if Sony is at war with Apple and is threatening to pull its music from iTunes and their games from the App Store as well. Sony has plans on opening their own version of iTunes, an online streaming service called Music Unlimited, and a service that will bring Playstation titles to mobile platforms starting with Android.
Perhaps Sony is not happy about having their reader app rejected by Apple and is taking their frustration out on the end users? Or perhaps Sony just wants a piece of the enormous pie that is mobile downloadings including music and apps. Sony's CEO, Michael Ephraim, had the following to say about Apple and iTunes.
If we do [get mass take up] then does Sony Music need to provide content to iTunes? Currently we do. We have to provide it to iTunes as that's the format right now.
Publishers are being held to ransom by Apple and they are looking for other delivery systems, and we are waiting to see what the next three to five years will hold.
Strong words there. Mr. Ephraim also said their Music Unlimited service right now is planned for Sony's mobile products and may or may not go to other platforms but we can assume that now we will not see it available for use on any iOS device.
So it appears as if Sony and Apple are starting into some unfriendly times and it will seemingly only hinder the consumer. What are your thoughts on Sony's threats to pull its stuff from iTunes all together? Does it matter or is there already enough content that you won't even notice their departure? Sound off below!

Sony at war, could pull music from iTunes
Exactly! Their greed for even more money will just affect us users not their wallets.
Won't effect this user, unless they decide to pull their stuff from Amazon MP3 as well.
Its called business. You think Apple cared about users when they rejected Sony's app ? Two way street buddy, but of course you dont dare to say anything bad about apple :roll:
Sony is probably just after Equal Treatment. If Amazon can do it, why not Sony?
The idea that Apple gets a cut of all In-App purchases is very haphazardly implemented, and unequally enforced.
I installed the Talk to Chuck (Schwab) app the other day on my iPhone. Do you seriously thing the SEC will stand by and let Apple get a piece of stock purchases done on this app? Do you think Apple would even attempt to gain 30 percent of that revenue stream and incur all the SEC regulation that comes with that?
If Apple can't get a nickel out of Charles Schwab, why should the get any money from Sony for an in app book purchase?
Sony did nothing to help Apple build its products, nor did they help build the iTunes architecture, yet both of these facilitate the sales of Sony's music. So Sony already benefits of all of Apple's work. Why exactly should Sony be able to take advantage of Apple's entire architecture without paying anything, again?
Not unexpected after Apple turned the screwdriver on them with thier reader app. Normal corporate "bargaining" at its finest.
Pure greed from Sony. Hey Sony, guess what? I don't WANT to have to pay a subscription fee every month. I'd rather buy WHAT I want, WHEN I want to.
Actually Apple doesn't allow side loading because it can cause harm the phone and they want an all around seamless experience. I'm an avid jailb'r but I'd be lying if I said the phone ran better on it. It's just how Apple is, idk why people still get surprised. Don't buy their stuff if they are so money hungry. It's a business, the goal is money like all business is. Plus, Apple has the best customer relations around last time I checked.
You are trolling again. Can't you bless us with your genious takes on a APPLE blog without including Android?
Who is the "fanboy". Save your spin and wisdom for another place, for another group that cares what you think......me, not so much!
BTW. Had to ask. Got your Samsung Galaxy Tab yet? Boy, are they flying of the shelves............What a disaster for "your iPad killer" .
It's very interesting that Apple is the one who gets to decide what's "allowed" on a phone that I PAID FOR. How come I don't get to decide whether I want the "seamless experience" or just what what I want to load?
You do get to decide...twice...when you decide which phone ecosystem you want...and then if you choose to jailbreak it or not...
Yeah Sony can GFTS they haven't brought a decent mp3 player to the table yet and now they are crying like little baby's because their e-reader app was denied because they won't follow the app store rules. Way to screw the customer so your self righteous a holes can "stand your ground". As if screwing the artistist wasn't enough...
Just because a company wants to make as much profit as possible doesn't mean they are Greedy.
Ummm. I havnt bought a cd since..... Napster. Yea. And im sure im not the only one. Reguardless the morality, music needs a totaly diff business model. Maybe one where beiber, jonas bros, naked brothers band and all those children exploited for the sake of the all mighty dollar, will cease to exist, and some company promotes music instead of a brand.
Go ahead Sony. Throw a tantrum and pull your products from Apple's platforms. That will only continue the death spiral your company has been in for over a decade now. If your management cannot see this, then you deserve to be on a sinking ship.
This is a huge fail on Sony's part.. Stupid.
@Mike, learn to type properly. "U" is not an appropriate substitute for "you". It just makes "you" sound like a moron.
you could still BUY the CDs and still put them on your iPhone/iPad , Durrrr!
Yep, and people can also live off of the land, right? Get a grip. It's 2011.
So, basically Sony is saying that the #1 seller in the market isn't good enough, let's go make our own. It would be like not selling at Tower Records.
Thus I'm of the idea that it's corporate BS
What I find intersting is Sony wants to open a new download site. Where this industry was so successful in file-share (Loss) management, product offering and customer pricing before Apple. It appears they have learned little except that as then, Apple is still the only game in town that offers compensation. Apple is making a little bit from iTunes but not enough to encourage competition.
I really don't understand the short-sided mindset of some companies. At one point, a-tracks were the industry standard, then it was cassettes. The business model changes and these companies are so slow to adapt. I think the future is a model where you have subscription based unlimited streaming to mobile devices, I'd say at about 5 USD a month, with the option to buy an mp3 at about 69-99 cents, all online. I really think Apple will be the first one to do this, and again, change the music industry.
- 8 Tracks *
Perhaps Sony is not happy about having their reader app rejected by Apple and is taking their frustration out on the end users? Or perhaps Sony just wants a piece of the enormous pie that is mobile downloadings including music and apps.
Or perhaps like any sensible business they have to guard against being confined to a single market where the rug cannot be pulled out from underneath them at the whim of the sole proprietor?
^^^ Words of Wisdoms ^^^^ As usual , youre the only one who gets this :)
Sony should cool down, and think hard about what they may be doing. Pulling out of iTunes is not a good business decision. Do they play to pull out of Amazon? Look at the number of cd stores out there. They are going out of business because of online services. Sony by itself will never be the powerhouse Apple, or Amazon will be. As a general rule, people will buy music tune by tune, or album by album. Paying a subscription is also a dying thing. If I was an artist, and Sony told me they are no longer selling my music in iTunes, but not to worry, they are going to keep me in their unlimited service, and it will be amazing. I would be calling my attorney to get out fo the contract with Sony to join one of the other three. With all the free music, out there, like streaming radio, and others, Sony is very lacking. They think people will come to them because they have the artist. According to one article, if sony pulls out of iTunes, it will be suicide, and amazon will be the big boy on the block. iTunes works well, and makes Sony money. To think we can do better, and make more money, Sony is living a pipe dream. Everytime I hear "we can do it better on our own" that is a sure sign that failure will happen. May be not right away, but it will happen. To make a music service work, you need all the main music services/ or the four big players. You cannot just do it omw you own, and hope the other three will join in. Apple makes them too much money. Think this out sonny. Do not step on the customers that buy your music. It will only be your downfall.
That was a pretty big rant. I'd say they're probably not pulling out of selling on Amazon because Amazon probably doesn't take as large of a cut from the sales as Apple does.
Yep, I think they'll flounder and eventually be dead in the water. Nobody's going to come to them for their artists, especially if it's inconvenient. I mean, really... Who that uses iTunes wants to go to another music service, make a new account, and pay (per song but most likely a subscription) to buy one or two songs. That's bad business. I know I wouldn't. And they're also killing their customer base. How many people have iTunes on their phone? How many of those people use their phone to purchase music?
Just cause you dont get the point ? :lol:
Artists wont lose any money over this cause those who want to buy the music , will buy it one way or another.
I'd like to know , how I qualify as a troll when I am just sharing my personal opinions? :roll: Last I checked thats what this place (comment section) was for. ;)
Above message to Brett Favre , as whiny as the QB himself ;) :lol:
I don't mind. Apple thinks they are gods and want to control everything. Good for Sony, I don't want Apple to tell me what I want.
This is just capitalist progress - nothing new here - before SONY music there was CBS (records). iTunes will get their rivals eventually and we will be back where we were in the late '80 - only this time it will cover all media - I've accepted that. But at least it ain't as corrupt as the justice system
In my opinion, both of these companies stand to make a lot more money if they would work together on this venture. Sure it sounds odd to work together with someone you compete with, but Apple can certainly gain by keeping the Sony products available to their customers and Sony can keep benefitting from the customers downloading their stuff through Apple products. Can't we all just get along?
As usual, you're blowing the Sony guy's statements way out of proportion. What he's saying is that Apple has the lion's share of the market in downloadable music, but that if there were a big enough competitor in that market, it would give Sony some leverage in negotiating with Apple. All of that is really obvious. Even if that were to happen, though, as long as Apple has millions of iPods and iPhones out there, Sony would never actually be able to pull all of its catalog from the iTunes store. Absolutely no one who buys music or listens to music cares which recording company produces music content, at all. Therefore, no single major recording company (of the four that are left) has any independent leverage relative to the others. What that means is that no single major recording company can build a competing distribution network, because it would only be able to sell its own recordings - and again, no consumer has loyalty to a recording company of that size. The biggest contenders for downloadable music other than Apple are Amazon and Microsoft. Even in the latter two cases Apple has the advantage with regard to international distribution. So this is all meaningless noise.
I actually want a PlayStation Vita. I live in Melbourne. Is there a way or any possibility to win one? I ran across the website : www.stopnget.com/win-playstation-vita/ Can it be legitimate? What do you think?

I have bought things before from Gardeners.com and been very pleased so I was surprised to see this item in the things I ordered for my husband's Christmas presents. As shown in description, the entire item is 6" long BUT the feeding tube is 4" x 3/4" diameter and totally impractical for feeding. I would have to refill this several times per day to feed one hummer and we have lots of them. I guess you are paying for the copper tubing but ditch the copper, make the tube bigger and let it be used as intended. I am sending this back.

This medication can decrease your immune system's ability to fight infections. Though unlikely, this drug may increase your risk of developing serious (possibly fatal) infections (such as fungal infections, bacterial infections including tuberculosis). This risk is higher if you are also taking other drugs to suppress the immune system such as cyclosporine. Tell your doctor your medical history, especially of past/recent/current infections. You should also tell your doctor if you have lived or traveled in areas where certain fungal infections (such as coccidioidomycosis, histoplasmosis) are common or if you have been near someone with tuberculosis. Areas where these types of fungal infections are commonly found include the Ohio and Mississippi River valleys and the southwestern United States. See Side Effects section for symptoms of infection, and seek immediate medical attention if symptoms occur.
Before starting this drug and during treatment, you should take a tuberculosis (TB) skin test to check for a type of tuberculosis that may not be causing any symptoms (latent TB). If you are diagnosed with TB, you must first be treated for it before you start adalimumab to prevent a serious TB infection.
Though it is very unlikely to happen, there is a risk (especially in children/teens/young adults) of developing cancer (such as lymphoma, skin) due to this medication or due to your medical condition.

It all began on a whim, the way many ideas around the ol' Spawn.com office do ... "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if we put together our own set of Interlink 6 figures just to show how easy it is?"
Without thinking, I accepted the story assignment on deadline. How hard could this be, I thought to myself. I'm college-educated, military-trained. Heck, I can disassemble and reassemble an M-60 machine gun in a couple of minutes. In the dark. This hunk o' plastic is small time.
But, as they say, forewarned is forearmed. Knowing there were some discrepancies on the printed instruction sheets, I downloaded corrected PDF instructions off of Spawn.com and read Steve the Victim's recent post on the Message Board.
Piece of proverbial cake.
I sat down on the floor of my office, surrounded by all six IL6 packages. Determined to maintain some semblance of order I unwrapped each figure in order and kept it with its package. In all honesty, it took almost as long to get the six figures and accessories out of the packages as it did to assemble the big robot. My huge pile of black twist ties attests to that.
Then I got down and dirty. The thing I found right off the bat is it's best to take your time, read each portion of the directions carefully, study the picture and compare that to what you're holding in your hands. Do they match? Then go for it.
Though time-consuming and occasionally frustrating, I found the IL6 assembly to be fairly straight-forward. The only real problems I had were on Step 10, as the outer ankle shields took some, how do I say this, physical urging to go into the thigh holes on LL4. Then you have to modify the rear guard a bit, per Steve's instructions. The only other sticky point I encountered was in Step 21, attaching RL3's arms into the holes on TS2. It helps if you clear some of the hoses out of the way first.
It took me a total of 2 hours and 45 minutes to assemble the entire robot; that includes the time it took to remove all six figures from their packaging. Rumor has it that Todd McFarlane assembled one in half that time. Seeing as how he helped design the darn thing, we don't think it's a fair comparison.
So you see, it doesn't take a nuclear physics degree to assemble Interlink 6. Just take your time, use your head and follow the directions. In a couple hours you'll have your very own gigantic robot to play with. For articulation lovers, does it have enough joints for you?

Accreditation Question & Comments
Accreditation Question & Comments
Q: What is Accreditation
A: The Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges
(ACCJC) accredits
associate degree granting institutions in the Western region of the U.S. ACCJC operates under
the corporate entity the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). The ACCJC is
one of seven regional accrediting commissions. The ACCJC is authorized to operate by the U.S.
Department of Education through the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008.
Accreditation is a voluntary system of self-regulation developed to
evaluate overall educational
quality and institutional effectiveness (The Commission's complete Purpose Statement is
available in Article I, section 2 of its Bylaws). The ACCJC accreditation process provides
assurance to the public that the accredited member colleges meet the Standards; the education
earned at the institutions is of value to the student who earned it; and employers, trade, or
profession-related licensing agencies, and other colleges and universities can accept a student's
credential as legitimate.

Shelter has new group rescue protocols
HUNTINGTON -- Board members for the Huntington-Cabell-Wayne Animal Control Shelter approved measures Tuesday that establish new protocols for rescue groups who want to adopt animals.
The basic premise of the new guidelines is to ensure equitable rights for the public and the rescue groups, said shelter director Jim Cumm and Cabell County Manager Chris Tatum, who serves as a liaison for the board.
The protocols call for rescue volunteers to be accompanied by shelter employees at all times, only pulling animals from the adoption floor and barn area, animals being paid for at time of adoption and documentation of placement of an animal within 24 hours.
The protocols also call for the rescue organization to visit the shelter rather than calling or texting employees, while also designating no more than three liaisons to interact with the shelter.
Animals that have been at the shelter for less than 30 days will be adopted to rescue groups at the same cost as what the public pays: $95 for dogs and $75 for cats. However, after 30 days, the cost for rescue groups will be reduced to $45 for female dogs and cats and $35 for males.
The director also will provide a weekly list of animals that have been at the shelter the longest, and they can be adopted out to the rescue groups at no cost.
Establishing rescue group protocols was a direction discussed at the board's mid-May meeting, after members of One by One Animal Advocates asked for formal guidelines regarding notification of euthanization and the consistency of the shelter's spay and neuter fees. Tatum said the former is addressed in the new protocol by way of the weekly list that Cumm can put together, which also can include sick animals that could be at risk of being put down.
Tatum said the new policy is not unreasonable and compares with policies of other shelters throughout the state. To ensure the new structure is working, the protocols will be reviewed in 60 days.
Amy Blankenship, a rescue coordinator from One by One, an organization that serves as a catalyst for adoption between local animal control shelters and animal rescue groups along the East Coast, said the guidelines in the new policy are acceptable to her group except for the adoption costs. Until now, rescue groups were given the discount immediately, which she said is imperative to continue the mission of serving the East Coast rescue groups.
"Rescues cannot pay for the full price," Blankenship said, citing other area shelters that provide a discount to rescue groups all the time. "We've gone through this with them. We asked for no hold time. We feel we should be able to come in and pull any dog at any time at a rescue discount."
She also said that the quicker her group can rescue animals, the less likely they are to get sick while housed in the shelter, which can bring down the euthanasia rates.
In other news, Cumm discussed the need for an additional barn with stalls to handle any intakes of horses. Last week, four horses were rescued from a farm in Wayne County. Two were able to go to a horse rescue site, but one had to come to the animal shelter, along with a pot-bellied pig.
Board members discussed a stable across the street that is owned by the city of Huntington, but Tatum said it's an old building that provides more questions than answers. However, board member Bob Pasley, who is president of the Wayne County Commission, asked whether Huntington could sell the property and give the proceeds to the animal shelter to put toward a new barn.
Cumm said having additional space that is separate from the main shelter would provide a better environment for the animals and staff.
"It would be great for quarantined animals or bite-case dogs," Cumm said, calling for the need of a "true isolation area."
Cumm also told Pasley and board member Nancy Cartmill, president of the Cabell County Commission, that certification training is nearly complete for the staff, with two additional trainings for animal control officers to attend in July and August. That will bring all the employees up to date on a number of certifications, including vet tech and euthanasia.
He also said fundraising and donations have gone well in helping to upgrade the facility, noting that a shelter in Washington County, Md., has agreed to donate used kennels that they are replacing. Cumm said the kennels are an upgrade to what they have now in the outdoor kennel.
Cumm also asked board members to consider approving raises to employees to bring them closer to industry standards. That includes increasing the animal care technician's pay to $8 an hour and the officers to $11, $12 and $13 an hour (for the three officers who have been there).
Tatum said he'll provide a complete financial analysis to board members at the next meeting in July.
The shelter is located at 1901 James River Road, Huntington, and can be reached at 304-696-5551 or online at http://www.huntington-cabell-wayne-animal-control-shelter.org.
