Programmatic buying: stormy clouds for sales teams? Rich media could be the silver lining
by Mark Thielen | Mar 05, 2013
Ad exchanges and real-time bidding promise significant efficiency gains across the entire online advertising industry. As the technology becomes more sophisticated, automation in the area of buying and selling ad space is undeniably a growing trend. Just look at the latest research; according to Forrester, "programmatic exchanged-based trading will comprise 30% of total spend by 2017." This promise of the rise in programmatic buying has spurred some serious debate.

Inexpensive computers go hand in hand with the vision of moving applications online. After all, if you spend most of your time inside a browser, you don't need a very powerful computer.
Everex gPC TC2502 has a 1.5 GHz processor, 512 MB of memory and an 80 GB hard drive. It runs a modified version of Ubuntu, called gOS, and comes with free applications like Firefox and easy access to many Google services: Search, Calendar, Docs, Blogger, YouTube. "Imagine a gorgeous desktop that just works. All the web, media, and office software you'll need is included. Imagine an OS with easy access to the best of Google Apps and products, and other popular Web 2.0 applications." It will be available in the US at Wal-Mart for only $199.
According to DesktopLinux, Everex claims the computer was "created as a conceptual Google PC with a conceptual Google OS" and it has Google's permission to use its trademarks. The g from gOS and gPC means "green", as the computer uses an energy-efficient processor, but many people will associate it with Google.
The idea of a Google PC is not new and Google dismissed it in many occasions, but that doesn't stop Google from having distribution deals for its software with computer manufacturers like Dell. As web applications and browsers become more powerful and Internet becomes ubiquitous, the transition to the online software will seem natural.

Vinously Speaking Wine Blog
Wined & Dined with Santa Julia Wines
I think a wine blogger can be considered "a spoiled wine blogger" when they receive an email to attend a 'press luncheon' to taste some wines. I also suppose a wine blogger is considered "a REALLY spoiled wine blogger" when you are invited to a 'press lunch' to taste delicious wines, at a hot-spot restaurant, with many of the local wine buying/press celebs, with a chef flown in from Argentina making the food pairing, and the daughter of a well-known Argentinian winemaking family conducting the tasting.
All that being said, I do believe last week I was a REALLY spoiled wine blogger! Maybe even REALLY x2.[Read More]

I really like these three vases on my window, all three colors are bright and make a nice combination. The con is that they have to be purchased together. One vase is too small and wouldn't make such a nice impression. Overall, it's very modern and unusual decoration of my window.

I am using these little rooting vases as, first, spots of very bright color in the window. The glass in clear, the color very rich and vibrant. I threw away the stands they came with, and made a macrame hanger that circles the throat for one. The other is sitting on the sill. The holder was heavy, and I felt it detracted from the beauty of the vase. I was really glad it came off.

Anna Ryberg
Swedish soprano Anna Ryberg has been a great favourite with our audiences since she joined the ensemble at Oper Frankfurt in 2004. Roles here during the 2013/14 season were the 1st Maid in Strauss' Daphne and Piccolo / Child Genius / Scholar in Die Ausflüge des Herrn Brouček/The Adventures of Mr Brouček. In recent seasons she has enjoyed great success with roles by Mozart and other composers, including Poppea (Agrippina), Princess Laoula (Chabrier's L'Étoile), Musetta (La Bohème), Oscar (Ein Maskenball/Un ballo in maschera), Jano (Jenufa), Sophie (Werther), Marzelline (Fidelio), Clorinda (La Cenerentola), Dorella in Wagner's early opera Das Liebesverbot/The Ban on Love (in concert at the Alte Oper, available on CD/OhemsClassics) and Clizia (Handel's Teseo). This season she enjoyed great success with Drusilla in a new production of Monteverdi's L'inocoronazione di Poppea in the Bockenheimer Depot and Katja in the first ever performances in Frankfurt of Mieczysław Weinberg's Die Passagierin/The (female) Passenger. These will be followed by Armande in the third of three one act operas by Bohuslav Martinů, which have never been performed in Frankfurt before. Recent guest engagements have included Pamina in Aix-en-Provence, The Countess in Le nozze di Figaro at the Opéra de Rouen, in London, Manchester, Limoges, Jersey, Leeds and Amsterdam and the title role in Handel's Semele in Sydney. Anna Ryberg studied in Sydney and at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester and has won many prizes and awards.

I have to say this is a great forum. Every drummer should be a member here!
Great topics and musicians helping each other out.
I am a guitarist but i also make backing tracks on the side. After a lot of requests i started doing backing tracks for drummers. Im waiting on a reply from Bernhard before posting a link, i don't want to get banned for spam ;)
I play guitar, bass and a little bit of piano. I started recording a while back, well recording simpel ideas. It was hard finding good members for a band so i started using backing tracks. Not being able to find backing tracks that i really liked i started to make my own.
I wasnt a drummer so after some research i found Toontrack. I use superior drummer for almost all my work. It isn't the real deal like having a real drummer but it is a great help.
Im have more than a full time job so music is a hobby, but its a 24/7 hobby of mine.
I would love to pick up playing drums, but at that time i guess this forum will be all the help i need ;)
Ive been looking at some great electronic kitts. One of closest frieda has a DT-20 thats just killer but damn thats to pricy for me right now.
Thats a bit of me.
Kind regards,

In an effort to simplify connectivity, the OneFit A/V is a complete, integrated solution that provides control, A/V connectivity and extension, sound reinforcement and power for A/V connectivity, all pre-assembled in a plenum-rated Chief® mounting box perfect for the average A/V installs in a learning, sharing, and collaborating environment.
OneFit A/V reduces complexity at every step of the A/V installation process, selection, purchase and installation. OneFit A/V cuts out the time needed to select and perform compatibility testing on products by providing a single SKU for simplified purchasing and specification. Installation is simplified as the OneFit A/V is pre-wired and features color-coded and labeled cabling, making installation quick and right the first time. With the average installation reduced to a fraction of the time it would take to install components individually, even the largest deployments are accomplished quickly.
The TruLink A/V Controller provides a solution for control of the in-room projector, allowing easy switching between source devices and powering the system on or off. The MCIA adapter for the TruLink A/V Controller is mounted within the mounting box while the wall plate keypad may be placed up to 50ft away from the mounting box.
A/V Connectivity:
The HDMI over Cat5 utilizes HDBaseT technology to provide an audio/video connection from the source to the projector at video resolutions of up to 1080p. The VGA + 3.5mm Audio over Cat5 provides analog audio/video connectivity from a single source, such as a laptop or desktop computer, to the projector. The HDMI over Cat5 receiver, VGA+3.5mm Audio over Cat5 receiver are mounted within the mounting box while a double gang transmitter wall plate is included and may be placed up to 50ft away from the mounting box.
Sound Reinforcement:
The TruLink Audio Amplifier and 2x2 Plenum Rated Drop-in Speakers are fed from the stereo audio line out of the projector and provide audio to the room. The TruLink Audio Amplifier is mounted within the mounting box while each of the two 2x2 Plenum-Rated Drop-in Speakers may be mounted up to 12ft away from the mounting box.
The mounting box also contains a power strip that provides power to all of the mounted devices. All Cat5 cables are color coded and labeled with the connection that should be made while the control and A/V cables for the projector are bundled and designed to be pulled through the projector mounting pole.
Note: The cable from the power strip is not plenum rated and is designed to be pulled through the projector mounting pole and connected to an outlet outside of the plenum space.

Hi. I'm 12 weeks pregnant with #2 after having HELLP at 35 weeks the first time. I'm wondering what are the standards for monitoring in subsequent pregnancies, such as regular platelet checks? What frequency of prenatal appointments? Etc.
Although my OB caught my HELLP within hours of my presenting with symptoms last time, I'm concerned by their seemingly unconcerned approach to this pregnancy. I would like help understanding what would be an appropriate monitoring, so that I can speak frankly with my OB before considering switching practices.
Thanks so much.

Our Sports Picks collectors have waited impatiently for the prototype images of our upcoming NFL 14 lineup. We showed off the prototype for one of the figures during the San Diego Comic-Con, and the fans clamored for more. Although we're still waiting to finalize the tattoo inking for Kansas City RB Larry Johnson, we've decided that the overwhelming requests must be answered. So without further ado, let's take a look at the initial photography for our NFL 14 lineup:
LARRY JOHNSON -- Kansas City Chiefs RB: From the doghouse to Priest Holmes' backup, to the consensus #1 pick in most fantasy football drafts -- it's been an amazing two years for Larry Johnson. After shocking the world last year, L.J. gets to show the NFL what kind of crazy numbers he can put up as a full-time starting back.
REGGIE BUSH -- New Orleans Saints RB/KR: The happiest people to see Reggie Bush playing in New Orleans are the Saints faithful, but a close second are the fans of the other nine PAC-10 schools he abused during his breathtaking career at USC. With speed, power, and ridiculous moves, Bush is an absolute weapon in the open field.
ANTONIO GATES -- San Diego Chargers TE: Gates hadn't played competitive football since high school, and his NBA prospects coming out of Kent State weren't thrilling, so he knocked on the door of the San Diego Chargers and announced that he could play some football. He wasn't kidding. Gates caught 10 touchdown passes in each of his first two seasons, and in 2006 he leads all tight ends in catches, receiving yards and touchdowns.
TROY POLAMALU -- Pittsburgh Steelers S: Is he a cornerback, safety, or a linebacker? Equal parts deception and devastation, Polamalu is just as likely to sack your quarterback as he is to pick off a pass across the middle. Underneath all that hair is a defensive riddle no one's been able to solve...
STEVE SMITH -- Carolina Panthers WR: The most feared receiver in the NFL stands 5'9 and weighs 180 pounds. Rebounding from a season lost to injury, Panthers wideout Steve Smith made the NFL his personal playground in 2005, leading the league (or tying for the lead) in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdown receptions.
SHAUN ALEXANDER 2 -- Seattle Seahawks RB: It's been high tide for the former Alabama running back since he landed in the NFL. Shaun Alexander set an all-time NFL record with 28 touchdowns in 2005 -- his 28 touchdowns were more than eight entire teams scored last season. Alexander led the league in rushing yards as well, and became the first league MVP in Seahawks history.
NFL 14 features one of the most balanced lineups in Sports Picks history -- look for it to arrive in stores this November!

Sometime in 1957 or 1958, Ernie Ball opened what was arguably the first music store in the United States to sell guitars exclusively, in Tarzana, California. When music sales reps criticized him for refusing to sell drumsticks and other instruments' equipment, Ball replied, "I just want to sell guitars." He was repeatedly told that a guitar store would never be a success, but the words rang hollow as people began to come from miles around to visit the shop.
With the guitar-based rock revival of the 1960s, Ball noticed that beginning students were having difficulty playing the bestselling medium gauge strings, particularly in holding down or bending the G-string. At the time, it was common for a set of strings to have a wound third string. Ball convinced a string manufacturer to make him custom sets with a 24-gauge G-string, which he sold in his store. It was the beginning of the Ernie Ball brand.

Rogers 4G LTE goes live in Calgary and Halifax
Add Calgary, Alberta and Halifax, Nova Scotia to the list of places you can get blisteringly fast 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) Rogers networking on your new iPad.
Rogers LTE network now reaches close to 12 million people or one third of the Canadian population. By the end of the year, it will reach nearly 60 per cent.
I've been using Rogers LTE in Montreal for several months, including a demo USB stick before the new iPad shipped and it's been consistently fast. Granted, there aren't a lot of devices that can use LTE yet, and not a lot of peopl on the towers yet, but with the new iPad, that's going to change sooner rather than later.
Getting 50Mbps down while at the coffee shop, 30Mbps down while at the lake, even 12Mbps down while on the fringe of the island is an incredible experience. HSPA+ can come close matching the low- to mid-level of those speeds, but LTE just annihilates it on uplink. It's especially great while tethering over Personal Hotspot, especially when you consider the giant iPad battery can last 24hrs if that's all you're doing with it.
If you're in Calgary or Halifax, and sometime later this year, Edmonton, and you have an LTE iPad, give it a speed test and let us know what you're getting. Then let us know what you're doing with all that speed.

Oregon 2,000 ft Prominence Peaks > Yamsay Mountain (OR) > Climber's Log
Yamsay Mountain (OR) Climber's Log
[ Sign the Climber's Log ]
|Fun Obstacle Course
Date Climbed: Oct 5, 2013
|Did this as part of a Yamsay/McLoughlin dayhike marathon this weekend.
Really a fun little climb. Didn't expect much based on the descriptions I'd read, but the berms aren't really a major factor and the obstacle course of the downed trees was actually sort of a blast to navigate. I only had to leave the trail proper once, really early on.
Had to park two miles short of the trailhead because of the road conditions, but was still able to summit and get back to the car in around 5.5 hours.
The summit itself is a gorgeous, high-prominence view of all the major peaks in the area. It's too bad this peak doesn't get more traffic.

|Hiked up in the morning with Luna after camping at the Jackson Creek Campground. Lots of berms and trees to cut around. Is all the obstacle course really necessary? A couple big rocks at the beginning of the trail would keep vehicles off it. Luna had fun chasing chippies everywhere. Neat cirque below the summit. Someone had put a huge shell (giant oyster?), chunk of obsidian and horseshoe at the summit but I never did see any summit register. 1 hr 34 up, 1 hr 8 down.
Is there another Yamsay Mountain out there? Not sure why the "(OR)" is in the title of this one. Fun easy hike though.

|A great day for a hike. Looking at the climber's log it looks like you only go here if you're a p2k chaser, which is sad, because it's actually kinda a cool little summit with a nice hike and great views. More people should know about this one.

|Cool autumn day
Date Climbed: Oct 20, 2011
|It was a sunny but cool autumn day and the view from the summit gave a different perspective of the Cascades peaks than what I usually see. I enjoyed picking out each Cascade peak to the west, and identified some peaks to the east as well. I had the hike to myself, and enjoyed the quiet and relaxing atmosphere on the summit.

|Summit 9 of 9
Date Climbed: Jun 18, 2010
|The last summit of my climbing partner and my trip through SE/Southern Oregon. We intended more peaks, but blisters sometimes win.
The road is annoying. There is no trail. I don't think the trees are all fallen from the NFS, I just think there hasn't been any maintenance in the last 20 years. That said, 1h 30m or so to the summit even with the trees. Snow up on top was a boon, not a bane. I'd recommend it even earlier than we did it.
Great view from the summit, possibly better than all 8 of the other peaks. You can see the Cascades from Shasta (barely) all the way to the sisters. Not bad for a mornings work.

|I suppose this is an easy hike but on a hot July day carrying my heavy kid around thousands of fallen trees, it was a nightmare. I did meet a guy climbing all the old fire lookouts. He doesn't record his ascents anywhere on line and he's been up 800 or so (I can't remember exact number).

|Part of a trip to this part of Oregon, I did Bald mountain the evening before and camped at Jackson Creek CG, a nice spot. Then I got up with the dawn and did Yamsay before it got too hot and afterwards headed over and did Mt. Bailey, to complete a nice twofer day. My day ended at a rest area above Roseburg, whew, a long one but fulfilling.

By Denise Morganthall
The majority of children with mental health issues have a learning disability that requires special education and/or special instruction in a classroom setting.
Special education allows schools to meet the unique needs of students with disabilities through specially designed individual or group instruction. Many special education settings are segregated from mainstream students.
Many parents struggle with their children being labeled under special education. For this reason, many parents refuse to accept the fact that their child has a learning disability and in turn refuse to put their child in special education courses, even though they know their child would benefit from it. It is sad to think we still struggle with this stigma in 2013. The first step is for school systems to have a zero tolerance policy for children who make fun of and/or disrespect their classmates who are "different."
Some of the children who have learning disabilities are fortunate in that they are able to remain in the general classroom setting with the assistance of a teacher's aide. This concept is known as "inclusion." These children have the opportunity to learn alongside children of both average and exceptional abilities; however, there is controversy over that as well. There does appear to be less "labeling" under this umbrella of teaching. However, this does not always meet the needs of the children.
Many children who receive special education support in their early years eventually mainstream in their middle and high school years. Mainstreaming attempts to move students from special education classrooms to regular classrooms only in situations where they are able to keep up with their other classmates without specially designed instruction.
We need the help and support of the parents, teachers, administrators and students to end the stigma. We need to expose special education children to the other students so they can see they really aren't that much different, except that they learn at a slower rate. And even if they are different that's OK too. What a boring world it would be if we were all the same.
Are you trying to lose weight or even fit into your summer clothes from last year? Have you felt tired lately and don't know why? Are your children spending too much time in front of the TV and/or computer?
If you have answered yes to these questions, now is the time to get up and get moving! May is National Fitness Month, and you can make a change in your life starting today. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Park your car far away from store entrances. Go for a walk once a day with your children, ride a bike, play Frisbee or even go fishing. Just making these small changes will play a large role in not only your physical well-being, but your mental health as well.
Research has shown that physical inactivity can lead to premature death, chronic disease and disability. Proper and adequate amounts of exercise boost brain activity affecting everything from the way we think to how we feel to what we do. Exercise can improve memory, not only in adults but in children as well. It makes it easier for kids to learn and boosts the brain's capacity for knowledge. Exercise increases strength, flexibility and endurance. Research and statistics tell us that 20 percent of people have symptoms of mental impairment. By 2020, mental illness will be the highest cause of death and disability in the world. If those statistics are not enough to get you moving, I don't know what is.
Don't have time to go to the gym? Well you are not alone...no one does. But there are plenty of things you can do at home for exercise. Be creative in making exercise fun. Get your kids involved in sports, dance or even running with a dog, if you have one. If not, volunteer to walk the dogs at the local SPCA.
We can all use this month to raise awareness about the benefits of physical activity – both at home and work. Make a difference and spread the word about fun ways to get moving!
"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." ~ Mahatma Gandhi
This first full week of May is a time to honor two groups of professionals who embody service above self – nurses and teachers.
This year, for National Nurses Week, the American Nurses Association has chosen the theme "Delivering Quality and Innovation in Patient Care." At KidsPeace, our nurses blend science and compassion every day, putting in long hours to make life a little easier for the children and adolescents in our care. And through tackling both the ordinary and extraordinary situations that arise each day, they have the chance to make a permanent impression not just on their patients, but also the families of those they serve. We are immensely grateful for the passion they bring to their vocation.
National Nurses Week began Monday and runs through May 12, which was the birthday of Florence Nightingale, who is considered the founder of modern nursing. Whether nurses are working directly with patients, educating those who are in the trenches or conducting research, their purpose is always to ease others' burdens and provide high-quality, patient-driven care.
In addition to honoring nurses, May 6-10 is Teacher Appreciation Week. I'm sure everyone can recall at least one special teacher who went above and beyond to make learning enjoyable. Good teachers help their students by showcasing their strengths, teaching new skills and encouraging them to dream bigger for their future. At KidsPeace, our teachers work hard every day to ensure out students receive a well-rounded education. It's never too late to thank a teacher for setting you on the right path. If you are a parent, you are probably even more aware of the crucial role teachers play. So take a moment this week to say thank you, volunteer in a classroom or nominate a teacher for an award.
Do you have a special way to honor a nurse or teacher in your life? Share it with us on Facebook or Twitter.
One out of five children suffer from some sort of mental health problem. Children's mental health problems include ADHD, Autism, bipolar, depression and schizophrenia. May 5-11 is children's mental health awareness week.
As a parent, how do we know our child is suffering from a mental illness? Some red flag behaviors can be change in appetite, trouble sleeping, dropping grades, showing less interest in sports and taking unnecessary risks. Some behaviors may seem to parents like children are just going through a phase or "being a teenager." Some parents are hesitant to get treatment because of the stigma attached to mental illness or they do not want to believe it is happening to them. However early intervention is critical to successful treatment.
Today mental illness is so prevalent that we are better at understanding what causes it and in turn being able to provide successful treatment. This week is dedicated to raising awareness about mental health and lending a hand to those who are struggling. Shame and stigma too often leave people feeling like there is no place to turn. We need to make sure they know that asking for help is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength.
When you were a student, you may recall having had a peer mentor. This was someone you could look up to and turn to when you needed advice or were unsure of something. Maybe you had the opportunity to be a mentor for someone else as well. Peer mentors are becoming increasingly common in the mental health field and have been known to provide mental health patients with a successful recovery.
Peer mentors are a supplemental service to the primary care a patient receives. Here are some advantages a peer mentor can offer:
We all need encouragement at some point during our lives. Who better to give it than those who have been through it before, know how tough it can be and have a proven track record of overcoming difficulties and moving forward with their lives?

Rugged Devices - Still a "Must Have" for your Enterprise?
Chris Pepin 110000H1GN email@example.com | | Tags:  rugged mobile | 0 Comments | 728 Visits
Open any magazine, watch any TV program, listen to any advertising, observe any office workers, travel on a train, look at the young coming out of school/college : What sort of mobile devices do you see?
• Blackberries YES ;
• Smartphone YES ;
• Tablet devices YES and growing ;
• Ruggedized mobile devices (handheld computers, laptops, tablets): Surely not?
Is there still a need for rugged devices – particularly in your enterprise – given your CFO will tell you the other more exciting devices can be half the price. It's simple : out with the old and in with the new: yet just before jumping - it may be worth using a different measure.
Does it matter what device my employees are seen with?
Yes – or does it?
If you are working face to face with your customers and want to present a good image why not use a sleek Smartphone or tablet device – why would you want to go with a more clunky and ugly rugged device. And buy these devices with a lower purchase price means that I can even equip my teams with more than one maybe a Smartphone and a Tablet …. Surely this is the key point and the debate is over…….
But what if my mobile workers are service engineers, delivery workers, meter readers, Funfair workers, construction workers, parking wardens ….. now is image as important a consideration as capability and longevity of life?
As we move outdoors perhaps other considerations are a more relevant Must Have device……
Does in matter what environment my employees operate in?
Yes it does
If you are outdoors in a rugged environment : Wet, Dusty, Bright Sunlight, Cold Frosty morning : You need to consider robustness – remember many tablets and Smartphones today are engineered for consumers and don't offer appropriate levels of security and durability or the functionality needed for business use
Also what if I drop my device will it bounce?
Here rugged devices have a place …. They are shipped with IP Ratings, can be manufactured to operate in safe environments (Zone 0), whilst device manufacturers just love to talk about drop height tests (a whole topic by itself) ….
So perhaps there are environments where a rugged device is a Must Have device…….
Corporate Liability?
What does this mean ……
More and more companies now encourage employees to bring their own device – bring their own rugged device … not so likely. Yet this is where the price differential could assist. Consider rugged devices as corporate liable devices, they look the same, feel the same, operate in the same way and don't have a picture of the holiday home on them, Now e can share devices across shifts / employees / premises : its not your device it's the companies. An ugly rugged device supports corporate liability ….
And don't forget if it's your and not mine will my behaviour alter – easier to protect a rugged device from dropping off a Fork Lift truck than it is a Smartphone…. and your health and asftey officer will let your Fork Lift driver wear his device …….
TCO & Device Stability Important ?
Yes in your enterprise absolutely
We have already considered a Smartphone is cheaper – but is it. What life can you get from your Smartphone, will the particular manufacturers derivation of Android be supported in 2 years time let alone will the application still run: and that assumes the device isn't scratched or damaged ….
So whilst up front costs can appear lower, consider the broader TCO measure and again don't automatically discount that stable rugged device.
Not so easy then??
Its comfortable sitting on my fence, but it does appear to me that whilst there is an undoubted take-up of Smartphone and tablet devices into the enterprise, there am still a need for rugged devices supporting specific user requirements, environments and delivering stable TCO and stability. Probably the future lies in mixed deployments now I have the challenge of managing such an estate from a single platform – but that's for another day:
Now what do you think…… ?

Earning their second women's soccer national title in the last decade, Mohawk Valley Community College (N.Y.) lifted the NJCAA DIII national championship trophy after throttling Gloucester County College (N.J.) 4-1 Sunday in the tournament final.
What started as a tightly-contested defensive struggle quickly turned in favor of Mohawk Valley after the Hawks scored two goals in less than 80 seconds midway through the first half. The Hawks nursed their 2-0 lead early in the second half until the Roadrunners cut the deficit in half with their first goal. Mohawk Valley quickly responded with their third goal of the match and eventually scored their fourth for good measure.
Despite cruising to victory in the championship, the road to the final match was a difficult one for the Hawks. In their opening contest of the tournament, Mohawk Valley scored two goals in the final 10 minutes for a come-from-behind 3-2 win over Holyoke CC (Mass.). Facing Anoka-Ramsey CC (Minn.) in the semifinals, the Hawks edged out a 2-0 win.
Mohawk Valley claimed their first national title since the inaugural DIII national championship tournament in 2003. The Hawks' last appearance in the national championship match came in 2004 when they fell to Richland College (Texas) in two rounds of penalty kicks.

National Handwriting Day in the U.S.A. will be on January 23, 2013. The "lost art" of handwriting is celebrated each January 23 on John Hancock's birthday.
In order to promote good penmanship, and civic engagement, the Handwriting Without Tears company is encouraging elementary students to send handwritten letters to the President. They can provide advice and "share … hopes for the future, words of wisdom, good wishes" as President Obama's second term begins. Letters should be sent to Mail to the Chief by January 15, 2013. Their web site has information on how to participate, for grades K-5, including downloadable information packets and double-lined paper. You can visit their site here: http://www.hwtears.com/sites/default/lpform/mttc2012form.php?pc=website
Why handwritten letters? Handwriting Without Tears maintains that "Handwriting is more than a style—it's a thought process. It's the primary way elementary students communicate. Handwriting promotes an organized approach to communication, maximizes thinking time, and boosts creativity."
Here are a few of the more interesting suggestions from handwritten letters send by students at the beginning of the President's first term:
· "You should get a group of scientists to try to make a flying car that runs on air." (Ryan in Delaware)
· "Always be truthful. You will avoid trouble." (Ainsley in Rhode Island)
· "Can you stop the racism and stop the wars? Make people remember their manners." (Victor, 4th grader in North Carolina)
· "Sometimes I hope schools will have better food. Sometimes it looks like it expired a long time ago." (Joel in Arizona)
· "I would like for you to change the Food Lion to have lower prices." (Mirian, 4th grader in North Carolina)
· "If reporters are asking you questions, just smile and answer one at a time." (Sophie in Nebraska)
· "Bullies should be arrested and go to jail." (Eden, 2nd grader in Indiana)
· "I know you've heard of global warming. Everyone has, but most people aren't doing anything." (Alana, 5th grader in Tennessee)
· "My advice I'd like to offer you is to lower taxes. Also, if you are getting a dog, you should get a beagle. They are really cute!" (Julia, 3rd grader in New York)
· "I think you should stop the wars and don't let your dog break anything." (Ben, 1st grader in Massachusetts)
· "Please work with other presidents and kings. Meet with them and become their friends. Then we can all get along." (Abigail in Wisconsin)
· "You know there is mother, father and grandparent's day, right? I think there should be kids day." (Izel, 5th grader in Maryland)
· "Never doubt or be scared, for you are the president of the U.S.A." (Evan in Michigan)

Update Feb.23/06: Two new examples to add from the Washington Post and CBC:
In the past week most all posts have contained some reference to a media or news maps mashups. This indicates the continued popularity of Google Maps within news and media sites. These references have included an updated Toronto Star Google Maps gallery, The Boston Globe's Red Sox Spring Training Fan Map, The New York Times Travel mashup, and Fox 5 New York's Weather Map. Continuing with this theme, here is another roundup post that pulls together new examples of how Google Maps is being used online by independent and major news and media outlets all around the world..
Washington Post: Bill Clinton's Paid Speeches Map - The newest Google Maps project from Adrian Holovaty at the WashingtonPost.com allows you to animate the map and move through speeches by date (click "Show Speeches Chronologically") The map accompanies this story: For Clinton, New Wealth in Speeches.
CBC (Canada): Mapping investigative journalism - Thanks to this post by Amber MacArthur I've learned that the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) has used Google Maps to create a simple yet informative map of 3 locations where they tested mercury levels in canned tuna. The info-windows display a good amount of graphical information and the pins indicate the city in Canada where the tests took place. The maps implementation accompanies this article.
KQED's "Quest" Google Maps Mashup - Quest is a unique Google Maps, Flickr and GPS data mashup which utilizes all of Public Broadcaster KQED's media platforms. The interactive science and nature mashup uses Google Map and Flickr mashups to present high-quality television programs, radio spots, blog postings, education guides, and map-based "explorations" for the San Francisco Bay Area, USA.
Citizen Reporting Google Maps, YouTube Mashup - iCommunity.TV is a collaborative broadcast network for local news, built with the intention to promote video as a media for citizen reporting. As an aggregation platform iCommunity.TV ties into the popular video-sharing service Youtube.com, extends its offering by letting a broad audience geo-reference and sort video clips in news categories and offers multiple convenient ways to watch and subscribe to these custom channels (e.g. "Politics in Berlin, Germany"). All news clips on the site are geo-referenced with a Google Map showing their location next to them, as well as a World News Map. iCommunity.tv is also making use of Google Earth which Frank Taylor from The Google Earth Blog describes here..
Orlando Sentinel: Central Florida Tornado Maps
These maps from the Orlando Sentinel are powered by FMAtlas. Here are more examples of online publishers using FMAtlas:
- New Jersey Star-Ledger (USA) - Housing Boom Map - Click on "See what homes are selling for on your street"
- Sacramento KCRA TV (USA) - Crime Map - A crime map for this California city.

I used to train in BJJ 7 or 8 years ago and was forced out because of a divorce...blah blah blah. I have since gotten remarried and have a step son. He was around 5 at the time we got together. Over the years I have showed him a few things and he is a really fast learner. So we finally got him into a BJJ class and he is now addicted! He is 10 years old now and I would have given anything for someone to start me out that young. He is freakishly flexible and really smart so I think he will be really good in a few years. There is a kid in his class that actually won 1st place in the State of TN grappling tournament. I told my step son to work with him as much as possible.
The good thing is it gives me an excuse to get back into it myself. I'm 34 now and it has been so long that I will basically be starting over myself...but it should be fun. I think we are going to do BJJ and Muay Thai both. I figure if he sticks with it, he will be hard to handle in a few years! Needless to say, I am pretty excited!

Topple-Proof Tomato Towers, Set of 2
Customers Also Bought
Exclusive | Topple-Proof Towers are the Sturdiest Tall Tomato Supports You Can Buy
- Our sturdiest tomato towers are ten times stronger than common cone-shaped wire cages
- Strong enough to support big, fruit-laden plants
- Keep plants securely upright, even in windy locations
- Set of 2
More than cages, these are fortresses that guard your tomato plants to prevent toppling under heavy loads and during high winds and heavy rains. In our garden tests they withstood more than ten times the horizontal pulling force compared to common cone-shaped wire cages! So when summer storms roll in, you can rest assured that your tomato plants will remain safely upright. The towers are made from heavy-duty, powder-coated, solid steel stock. You can install the legs as deep as you need (at least 8", deeper in sandy soil) and then attach the bottom ring right on the soil for extreme stability. Set the other rings at any height — lower to support shrubby plants, higher if you prune lower leaves. Each tower has three upright supports and six 18" diameter rings, creating a tower that's approx. 78" high (depending on how deeply you install the uprights). It will provide topple-proof support for your tallest indeterminate varieties.
- Powder-coated steel, EPDM (synthetic rubber) O-rings
- 18" in diameter x 86" H overall
- Approx. 78" H installed
- Uprights are 5/16" solid steel
- Rings are 7/32" solid steel
- Folds flat for easy off-season storage

Best Uses
My husband was unable to assemble this vegetable cage because the eyelets on the rings were too small for the vertical poles (or the vertical poles were too large for the ring eyelets). When I called Gardeners Supply, I was treated poorly. Reluctantly I was emailed a Fed Ex shipping label, but then I was charged a fee for the return. I waited five-weeks (instead of two weeks as stated when I placed the order) for a defective product for which I paid a shipping fee and a return fee, and customer service was apathetic. What a horrible experience!
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- It's Tall
- Not Carefully Made
- Small Caps Dont Fit Supor
Best Uses
- Indeterminate Tomatoes
The horizontal rings have small caps (tubes) welded to them. It is necessary to slide the horizontal rings down the vertical supports, but they don't always fit. If the vertical piece is too fat (too much paint or thicker steel), the cap cannot slide down. Also if the cap has a burr, it will not slide down into position. Pushing harder or tapping only breaks the weld. There's no good solution.
- Was this a gift?:

Only problem was that they were backordered, and my tomatoes were already 3 feet tall when the towers finally arrived.

I think this is a great idea, but originally, it was billed as being collapsible for flat storage. I don't see how that could happen without complete breakdown. I won't do that after the struggle I had getting them together. I do like what they are doing for my tomatoes. Perhaps another spell at the drawing board?

I haven't seen this show, but it sounds very interesting.
I saw a different show a few months ago (narrated by Morgan Freeman) and one episode was about when/how life might have began on earth. (For those that believe in evolution).
Scientists have collected particles left behind from comets that have contained amino acids, which make up protein. They have theories which suggest life on this planet could have been brought here from elsewhere in space. They also think it's possible that life could have been brought here from Mars in the form of space dust.
Of course there's no way to actually prove any of this yet, but they are some very interesting ideas.

Gypsy jazz comes to Ann Arbor Feb. 21Written by Vicki L. Kroll | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Guitarist John Jorgenson is an über fan of Django Reinhardt and his frenetic fret work — not that there's anything wrong with that.
So when he had the chance to portray the French guitar great and re-record some of his good-time gypsy jazz for the 2004 movie "Head in the Clouds," he was ready.
"I was meeting with the director and trying to let him know that I knew a lot about Django Reinhardt and that I'd do a really good job without sounding like I was some stalker that didn't have any life besides studying Django," Jorgenson said.
The director mentioned there'd be a role in the film.
"I don't look anything like Django Reinhardt, but I'd cut my hair and dye it and grow a moustache, do whatever I could to look right for the part," Jorgenson told the director. "And he said, 'Well, we'd have to get a prosthesis for your hand because Django only had the full use of his first two fingers on his left hand.'
"And I said, 'Yeah, that would be really cool.' And he said, 'Oh, I was just kidding; how could you play?' And I said, 'Well, I've learned how to play some of his solos with two fingers.' So I was showing my hand that I was pretty much a crazy Django Reinhardt fan," he said and laughed.
Jorgenson got the part and appeared as his hero in the film, which starred Charlize Theron and Penélope Cruz.
"It was a lot of fun because he's my favorite musician and I was able to not only play his music, but to be dressed up like him," Jorgenson said during a call from Vermont, where he hunkered down during a blizzard while on tour.
At age 18, Reinhardt lost mobility in two fingers on his left hand after being pulled from a fire.
"That was one of the things that really got me curious: How is [Reinhardt's playing] possible? It's kind of like a puzzle to be able to figure it out," Jorgenson said.
"It taught me a lot about playing guitar in general. I had to learn the fingerboard in a different outlook. That really helped my playing overall."
In addition to his solo career, Jorgenson has been a guitar slinger in The Desert Rose Band and played with a long list of luminaries, including Sting, Bonnie Raitt, Elton John, Barbra Streisand, Willie Nelson and Luciano Pavarotti.
The John Jorgenson Quintet will swing through Ann Arbor for an 8 p.m. show Feb. 21 at The Ark. Tickets are $20. Doors open at 7:30 p.m.
The acoustic nature of gypsy jazz is just part of its appeal, according to Jorgenson.
"People really love the sound of violin and acoustic guitar. And then it's got a lot of energy; it's not laidback. It's got a lot of energy and aggression, but it doesn't hit you over the head, either. It's also got a lot of emotion, and it's evocative. It can take you to different places; it's got a bit of an exotic flair."

Madrid City Hop-on Hop-off Tour
- Recorded commentary by audio headphones
- Multiple departure times and locations available
- Great overview and orientation of the city
Route 1 - Blue Route (80 minutes)
This route focuses on the historical part of Madrid. Philip III and Philip IV enlarged and embellished the city, but the Bourbons brought new cultural and architectural tastes. It is to them that Madrid owes the spectacular Royal Palace, the Paseo del Prado and the Puerta de Alcalá. A drive down the Gran Vía, the capital's most important road during the first half of the last century, offers insight into its unique architectural diversity and outstanding examples of the Belle Epoque, such as the Casino de Madrid and the Palace Hotel.
Route 2 - Green Route (65 minutes)
This route focuses on the modern part of Madrid. The 19th century saw expansion in the city. The Salamanca neighborhood was built and became a residential area with the site of the first bourgeois homes. Also developed was the Paseo de la Castellana, where the city's palatial mansions give way to modern skyscrapers of great architectural value. These structures are testaments to Madrid's position as one of Europe's most cosmopolitan, attractive and modern cities.

Absolutely fantastic way to see the sights of the city. Buses run about every 8 mins, and made easier by ordering e tickets before hand. We bought a 2 day pass and well worth the money.

As best as I understand it, the founding of the Islamic Republic of Iran in 1979 was when Persia became Iran. What was the motivation for changing the name?
This seemed to have come from Persia's freedom from the Qajars and some nationalism on the part of Germany during WWII influencing the Shah's decisions. So it was originally changed in 1935 and not 1979, unless you are only referring to the Islamic Republic addition, which was done at the Ayatollah's will, more than likely. The name of the country in Persian apparently was Iran so this was a natural choice for their own name.
You can find more here: Iran Heritage site on changing name to Iran
It is not true. The name Iran is old enough and comes from Ayran which means the land of Aryans but Reza shah suspected westerners' motives in using the name Persia instead of Iran and tried to change the name to Iran again. Reza shah had extreme nationalist ideas and Nazi regime cheated him and abused these feelings in the second world war. Westerners insisted in using this name to humiliate Reza shah as he was almost their puppet and they couldn't tolerate his new nationalist ideas and attempts for independence so blamed him for having near relationships with Nazi regime and wanted to remind him their own roles in increasing his power to be the king of Persia! As an Iranian none of them makes sense to me. I mean westerners' attempts and Nazi plans to abuse of naming an old big land according to their own benefits. To make it more clear for you as an Iranian, my nation and I use both names without any special purpose. My nation and I do not use Persia to say our land was a part of west colonies as it was not. Also we do not call our land Iran to say we are the best nation in the world as Aryan is only a name of a race in genes of many different nations from India to the Europe equal to the other races. Surely this name doesn't have any relation to Nazi's bullshits. I think one of oldest civilizations in the world doesn't need such ridiculous tricks. I only want to correct some your mistakes about it as it is a site for expert answers to expert questions about history and needs more researches and attention before asking a question or trying to answer it.
Some of the reasons behind this academic theft was that Persia was invaded by numerous internal and external powers in its history. Once it got aligned to the West both with Germany and the USA, it used academia to forge history. Persia was rich and had become a big power in the middle east before the Islamic Revolution. Powerful tyrants become arrogant like Saddam and Ghaddafi belived they had extraordianry God gifted power. As Persia was always the guest house of empires, it just found the best chance to hire Jewish and American academics to write fabricated hisotry and change it to Persia's advantage. See Nasser Purpirar's Youtube clips revealing the lies of Persia's history. Persia if as claimed consisted of many countries, its land was always annexed by Britain, Russia, India, Afghanistan and even weaker countries. Calling Persia Iran means ignoring all the brave people from many neighbouring countries for the entire history of their existence. Mark Haqani
Iran or Aryana were old names of at least 12 Middles Eastern countries. It was actually the name of a continent called (Iranian Plateau). The Shah changed the name of Persia, which was a small part of the Iranian Plateau, to Iran to deprive all other countries such as Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikstan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iraq, Bahrain, Gerogia, parts of Paksistan, Abkhazia and Ossetians from their cultural, academic and historical achievements. With taking the common name of all these countries, Iran claims that all scholars who are known as Iranian belong to what is NOW Iran.

Canaries boss Chris Hughton has signed the 24-year-old Netherlands international striker for a reported £8.5million from Sporting Lisbon.
Hughton believes the signing of Van Wolfswinkel could be "the one that turns some of our draws into wins".
Norwich were short on firepower last season, with the team averaging just over a goal a game in the Premier League.
Van Wolfswinkel weighed in with 14 strikes for Sporting - the fourth highest of any player in Portugal's Primeira Liga - and notched three in their Europa League campaign.
His transfer fee is almost three times the amount Norwich paid Crewe Alexandra to sign Dean Ashton over eight years ago, but Van Wolfswinkel is not feeling any additional pressure.
"It shows me Norwich have a lot of confidence in me," he said in the Daily Star Sunday. "If anything, I see it more as a motivation.
"I'm confident of scoring goals. That's part and parcel of my job, but the most important thing for me is I am a team player."
