Solar shakeout survival guide
By Peter Gardett
Managing Editor, AOL Energy
There are many ways to survive in the solar business, but relying on protectionist policies and planning to serve only one part of the growing marketplace are not successful strategies for survival.
"A global manufacturer has to be willing to look at its product portfolio and participate in all aspects of the market," Canadian Solar VP of U.S. Sales and General Manager Alan King told AOL Energy recently. Canadian Solar, despite its name, has an expanding presence around the world and is a NASDAQ-traded company determined to survive the fallout from falling panel prices.
There is a place for both large-scale utility projects, several of which Canadian Solar has in its development pipeline, and for small-scale domestic projects or mid-scale distributed generation. The second class of projects offer ideal opportunities for differentiation in company products that otherwise become commoditized - low-voltage solar panels with customized appearances could help Canadian Solar panels stand out from the competition.
Slapping tariffs on Chinese panels is not going to help the market reach grid parity, King said, noting that the country is following historic precedent in moving toward increased consumption of the goods it has previously manufactured for export. In line with broader trends, China could consume more solar product output than the U.S. in 2012, even as it remains a net exporter, King said.
Eyeing the broader solar market, which is in a widely discussed shakeout that has claimed high-profile victims in American manufacturing, King said that "once things begin to settle out, there will be survivors, and those survivors will be stronger."

Ontario Hockey League Game Day Previews for Friday March 9 2012
Pictured is Thompson from Sarnia - big weekend for the Sting !!
Sault Ste Marie at Sarnia
The Greyhounds continued their late season push for inclusion to this year's playoffs. Last night they were able to eke out a 2-1 overtime victory over the sputtering Windsor Spitfires. Only one goal was scored in the first period (David Quesnele's 11th of the year) and no goals were scored the rest of the way until the 11:49 mark of the 3rd period when Michael Clarke was able to bang in a rebound to tie things up. Brett Findlay stunned the crowd with his 2 on 1 wristshot that beat Pavelka for the win. The Hounds stayed in the hunt and now have 60 points – tied with Guelph - both teams are 1 point behind Windsor.
Last weekend Sarnia lost to Ottawa 3-1 on Friday and got by Plymouth 5-4 on Sunday. Charles Sarault continues his steady scoring with 2 goals and 2 assists in his past 3 games. The Sting are in a back and forth
battle with Owen Sound in the standings. Currently they are tied with 69 points. Sarnia will host Owen Sound on Saturday.
My prediction Sault Ste Marie 2 Sarnia 4
Owen Sound at Saginaw
Owen Sound is tied for fourth (with Sarnia) in the West with 69 points. Saginaw trails them by only 3 points. The Attack are the most penalized team in the league with 1272 PIM on the season – whereas the Spirit are one of the lower penalized teams with 929 PIM (4th lowest in the league). On the powerplay at home Saginaw is #5 in the OHL with a 24.4% success rate. On the road, Owen Sound has allowed 43 goals in 184 shorthanded situations (rated #17 in the league). The Attack have won 6 of their last 10 and the Spirit have won only 4 of 10 but have earned points in three games that they lost in overtime situations.
On Wednesday Owen Sound was spanked at home by the Barrie Colts in a 6-2 game. The Attack were frustrated by Matias Niederberger's strong 38 save game and the 4 goals put up by Ivan Telegin. Saginaw won 2 of 3 last weekend including a big 7-1 win over rival Windsor Spitfires. Captain Brandon Saad has 4 goals and 2 assists in his past 2 games.
My prediction Owen Sound 2 Saginaw 5
London at Guelph
London scored in each period (and twice in the third) to defeat the Guelph Storm 4-1 at the John Labatt Centre last night. Jared Knight had a big game with 2 goals and 1 assist. Max Domi had 2 assists while Seth Griffith and Andreas Athanasiou had the other goals. Michael Houser stopped 35 of 36 shots directed his way. London pushed their Western Conference lead back up to 2 points ahead of the Plymouth Whalers.
Guelph is locked up with Sault Ste Marie in the #8 and last playoff spot – each team has 60 points after each team has played 63 games. Guelph has lost their last 2 games – a 4-1 loss at London on Tuesday and a home loss of 4-3 vs. Ottawa on Sunday. Jason Dickson had the lone goal for the Storm in their last game vs. the
My prediction London 4 Guelph 2
Mississauga at Kingston
The Majors are coming to Kingston after a big win last night in Niagara. With an opportunistic short handed goal by Jamie Wise they Majors rode the performance of the week by goalie Brandon Maxwell (43 saves) and added a 2-0 empty net goal to secure the win. Stuart Percy's recent return has buoyed this team on defence. This win puts them into the #7 spot tied with #6 Belleville with 65 points. Oshawa trails by 1 point and Peterborough
continues to fade with 59 points. Mississauga should be without the services of Riley Brace who was
involved in fight with only 11 seconds remaining in the game.
Kingston is out of the playoffs but is still playing some strong hockey. Unfortunately their recent record has not been that impressive – 4 straight losses and only 3 victories in their last 10 games. They have only scored 5 goals in their last 3 games while allowing 13 goals. Igor Bobkov could only manage 32 saves on 37 shots put his way in their last game.
My prediction Mississauga 3 Kingston 1
Plymouth at Kitchener
Plymouth is only 2 points from the top spot in the Western Conference. They are the hottest team in the league right now with 7 straight wins and 8 wins in their past 10 games. Their quality offensive squad is topped by
Noesen (75 pts), followed closely by Miller (61 pts), Aleardi (60 pts), Bathgate (60 pts)and Rakell (58 pts). In
their last game, they were surprised by the last place Erie Otters in the first period and were trailing early – then they scored 6 goals in the second to take hold of the game finally winning it 10-6.
Kitchener won again to break out of their horrible losing woes – having only won 3 times in the last 10 contests. On Tuesday they defeated the Guelph Storm after losing their previous 4 games. In the 4 goal third period Tobias Rieder (2 goals and 2 assists) and Michale Catenacci (1 goal and 3 assists) were very active. Goalie John Gibson has 1 win and 2 losses this month. There are some huge $$ prize giveaways at tonight's fan appreciation game including a trip to the memorial cup !!
My prediction Plymouth 5 Kitchener 3
Niagara at Ottawa
Battle for first !!
Niagara is currently one point ahead of the 67's for first place in the Eastern Conference – both teams have played 63 games. Niagara has 42 regulation wins whereas Ottawa has 39. The Icedogs were frustrated at home last night against the defensive minded St. Mike's Majors. The Dogs peppered Brandon Maxwell with 43 shots but he was able to turn them all away – the defence kept the Icedogs tightly checked and limited
rebounds and second chance opportunities. Niagara will probably be without the services of Alex Freisen who was involved in a fight in the last 11 seconds of the game (with Riley Brace).
Ottawa's Shane Prince will return to action tonight after a minor injury kept him from the lineup for a few games. Ottawa has 3 wins and an overtime loss in their last 4 games. Their recent western Ontario road trip was
successful where they locked horns with Sarnia, London and Guelph. After this game the 67's will host
Mississauga and Sudbury – then they will finish the season on the road with stops at Niagara and at Brampton. Niagara's last home game is against the 67's Saturday March 17.
My prediction Niagara 4 Ottawa 3 (OT)
Belleville at Sudbury
The Bulls are on the cusp on a playoff berth – they are currently in sixth spot in the Eastern Conference but any let up could push them out of playoff contention. Only 4 points separate them from the #9 spot in the standings. Adam Payerl is a game time decision. They have been up and down with wins/losses – in the month of March they have a win, a loss and another win. Leading scorer Brandon Gaunce has 2 assists in the past 3
games, second leading scorer Austen Brassard has one assist in that same time frame. Look for Malcolm Subban to get the nod for his 15th consecutive start.
Sudbury was run over at the Molson Centre in Barrie – enduring a 7-0 loss at the hands of the Colts. Shots on goal were even at 29-27 for the Wolves, but they were not able to get anything going offensively. They gave up 4 first period goals and then 3 more in the second period to allow the Colts to put the game out of reach.
Matias Niederberger played a great game earning only his third shutout of the season. The Wolves are tailing
off a little with only 4 wins in their past 10 games – and are in fifth spot in the conference (5 behind Barrie and 8 ahead of a pack of teams jockeying for playoff position).
My prediction Bellevile 2 Sudbury 3

An Elizabethton man was arrested Monday on a charge that he walked out of a Johnson City Walmart with a shopping cart filled with items he never bought.
Tyler N. Edwards, 20, 340 Coal Chute Road, Elizabethton, was charged with felony shoplifting after the incident at the Walmart at 3111 Browns Mill Road.
Police said Edwards selected 85 items worth $678 and put them in a shopping cart and walked out with the shopping cart without paying for any of the items. Walmart loss prevention employees stopped him before police got there.
Edwards was held in the Washington County Detention Center on $5,000 bond pending a Sessions Court appearance Tuesday.

A small, daylong rally in Esther Short Park on Monday raised community voices against child abuse.
Children Without A Voice, a nationwide nonprofit organization, observed National Child Abuse Month with music and speakers, as well as an ongoing march around the park. When The Columbian stopped by just before lunchtime, about 25 people were there.
"The longer it stays in the dark, the bigger it's going to grow," said local organizer Stephanie Holt. "This is all about awareness." It was the first such march in Vancouver, Holt said, and she's hoping future years will see a bigger turnout.
According to a statement from Children Without A Voice, people in 150 cities and 45 states were marching against child abuse Monday. Learn more about Children Without A Voice at cwavusa.org.

On Oct. 1, the annual percentage rate on Mike Golden's American Express Platinum card will jump by about 25 percent.
Yes, 25 percent. That's no typo.
Since American Express has always billed itself as the traveler's best friend ("Don't leave home without it") I thought this would be of interest to other readers. The Credit Cardholders' Bill of Rights Act, the new law meant to protect credit card customers from surprise fees that goes into effect next year, is supposed to protect cardholders from these kind of rate changes. Did Amex send out the wrong notices?

The human ability to defy gravity and travel far above the Earth is one of the Twentieth Century's great achievements. Commercial flight puts that audacious act within the reach of the masses, something I'm proud to celebrate, and I look forward to the day when every human being has the choice to fly. That's why I wrote the Battle in Print defending flight for the 2009 Battle of Ideas.
Thanks to GS Aviation, I started learning to fly microlight aircraft. At my last attempt, I could take off and nearly land. I've also got to enjoy the view from various helicopters over various great cities.
Though I'm sadly no relation to "beautiful aviatrix" Nancy Harkness Love, I am the step-great-grand-daughter of Walter Wilson who, with his collaborator Percy Pilcher, was nearly the first to fly a powered, heavier-than-air plane. Had Percy not died in a gliding accident in 1899, Dr. Helen Pilcher and I might have been guests of honour at the centenary of flight celebrations.
I am available to be suitably impressed by spins in aircraft of all shapes and sizes.

Man gets 18 years in prison for stabbing
CORPUS CHRISTI - A man was sentenced to 18 years in prison Wednesday for stabbing his pregnant ex-girlfriend two years ago.
Jose Martinez, 30, took a plea deal on the eve of a jury trial before visiting Judge Jack Hunter.
He was convicted of aggravated assault, a charge which was enhanced to a first-degree felony because he is a repeat felony offender, Prosecutor Doug Mann said.
Martinez's ex-girlfriend told police that Martinez stabbed her several times with a steak knife on Dec. 19, 2008.
Mann said she had to be hospitalized and treated for wounds to her back, arms and upper chest.
She was several weeks pregnant at the time and had been planning to move to Dallas when he found her staying with his stepmother in the 2000 block of Treyway Lane. He stabbed her after she refused to leave with him and elbowed his stepmother in the face when she tried to intervene, according to police reports.
He fled before police arrived but was arrested earlier this year.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Big changes at Shelby Farms Park next Friday may mean a longer commute.
The entrance off of Walnut Grove Road will soon be buried under water, and the new park entrance is located off of Farm Road.
"The new entrance is not far away from the previous entrance," Jen Andrews with Shelby Farms Park Conservancy, said.
"If you're used to coming in off of Walnut Grove and Farm Road (and) veering over to the right to come into the park, it's just a little further up farm road. You can actually see it from the entrance," she explained.
Drivers and bikers have already started using the road.
Project organizers said they've covered all their bases, especially when it comes to people worried about the amount of traffic that uses the two-lane road.
This is just phase one of the $52 million enhancement project called "Heart of the Park."
"At the end of this project we're going to have a new gigantic ecologically healthy patriot lake, new amenities like a restaurant, a retreat center, and visitors center, new bike paths, new walking trails," Andrews said. "But this is step one."
The park expansion is expected to be completed in two years.
A majority of the money used for the project is coming from private donations.

Brandon: Michigan will add two varsity sports
At a Michigan alumni legislative reception in Lansing, Michigan on Tuesday night, Michigan Athletic Director Dave Brandon announced that the University will soon add two more varsity sports to its current total of 27 teams.
Brandon has a press conference regarding a "major announcement regarding Michigan Athletics" scheduled for noon on Wednesday.
The Michigan Daily has learned that Brandon and University President Mary Sue Coleman spoke with a few attendees after the event and, without explicitly saying it would be one of the sports added, discussed the men's lacrosse program.
Coleman outlined the obstacles the lacrosse program had to pass before she was confident it could become a varsity sport. And Brandon smiled when he alluded to tomorrow's announcement in regards to a question about the lacrosse team.
The Michigan men's lacrosse team won MCLA national championships in 2008, 2009 and 2010. And Insidelacrosse.com reported on Sunday that, according to unnamed sources, the Michigan men's lacrosse team would become a varsity sport starting in 2012, and the women's team would follow suit in 2013.

* $2 million paid to firm owned by Chad diplomat's wife
* Griffiths founder died in 2011 boating accident
* Company agrees to C$10.35 mln fine after internal probe
By Jeffrey Jones
CALGARY, Alberta, Jan 22 (Reuters) - A Canadian oil company that bribed the wife of a Chadian diplomat in hopes of landing exploration blocks in the African country pleaded guilty in a Calgary court to a corruption charge on Tuesday in a case that came to light when the firm blew the whistle on itself.
Griffiths Energy International, a private company based in Calgary that had intended to go public before its founder died in an accident, agreed with prosecutors to pay C$10.35 million ($10.4 million) in fines following an internal investigation that uncovered the crime, which dates back to 2009 under former management.
The company turned its findings, including more than 1,000 pages of documents, over to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
"We essentially provided a case, neatly organized and ready for prosecution," GEI's lawyer, Kristine Robidoux, said in court.
Robidoux said Griffiths wanted to pay its fine and proceed with its business without the taint of corruption.
A Calgary judge said he will rule on the sentencing on Friday. It is one of a handful of prosecutions under Canada's 14-year-old Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act.
Questions over Griffiths' dealings in Chad, an impoverished country whose oil wealth has caught the attention of the world's oil industry, arose in late 2011 when newly hired managers were gathering information for a planned initial public offering, according to an agreed statement of facts.
Financier and company founder Brad Griffiths had brought in the new management team in early July of that year. Just over two weeks later he drowned in a boating accident in Ontario.
In 2009, Griffiths and two other founding shareholders were pursuing exploration blocks in Chad and offered the country's ministry of petroleum and energy a ${esc.dollar}2 million signature bonus to acquire the acreage.
Such bonuses are legally permissible upfront payments to host governments as part of monetary commitments to obtain exclusive rights to a block. They are common in many oil-producing countries.
The executives were advised it was too low, according to the court document. The bonus offer was subsequently raised to ${esc.dollar}10 million. Before GEI would eventually secure the blocks the price would rise to ${esc.dollar}40 million.
Earlier, GEI's executives had met Chad's then-Ambassador to Canada and the United States, Mahamoud Adam Bechir, who was based in Washington. The company struck a deal with the diplomat to pay his consulting company ${esc.dollar}2 million for "advisory, logistics, operational and other assistance" in Chad, the statement said.
However, GEI's outside legal council advised the company against going ahead with that agreement as Bechir was a public official. The deal was terminated and no payments were made.
About two weeks later, GEI signed a second agreement, with identical terms, with a Nevada-incorporated consulting firm that had been set up by the ambassador's wife, Nouracham Niam, just days before, according to the statement of facts.
She and two others were also given the opportunity to buy a total of 2.4 million shares of Griffiths at ${esc.dollar}0.001 each, the statement said. On Tuesday, the prosecutor in the case, Robert Sigurdson, said the company still had the share certificates.
The ambassador and his wife were not immediately available for comment.
Before GEI could secure the blocks, Chad established a new method for bidding for production sharing contracts that involved a three-step process with participation by the petroleum ministry, a council of ministers and the president, in hopes in improving the country's poor reputation for transparency, according to the statement.
In 2012, Chad ranked 165th of 176 countries in Transparency International's Corruption Transparency Index, which measures how corrupt nations' public sectors are seen to be.
GEI secured its contract in January 2011, with terms that included a ${esc.dollar}40 million signature bonus. There was no evidence that the ${esc.dollar}2 million paid to the consulting company had any effect, however.
According to Chad's petroleum and energy minister, the diplomat has no influence on the process for selecting successful bidders for oil projects, the court document said.
Still, the company on Tuesday acknowledged the ${esc.dollar}2 million payment to the consulting company represented money "to a foreign public official to attempt to induce the official to use his position to influence decisions."
As a result of its findings, the new GEI management scrapped plans for its IPO and wrote off C${esc.dollar}1.8 million in costs. (${esc.dollar}1=${esc.dollar}0.99 Canadian) (Editing by Bob Burgdorfer)

Home > Research & Publications > Media Centre > Media Releases > Economics, Tax, Industry, Small Business, Sustainability > Election Year Politics Cannot Ignore Small Business Trading Conditions
Monday 20th May, 2013
The latest edition of the ACCI Small Business Survey shows that most small business trading conditions have remained below the 50 mark which separates expansion from contraction over the first quarter of 2013, albeit some indicators recording a marginal improvement. Small business expects trading conditions will remain depressed for the June quarter amid rising costs, weak consumer sentiment and a strong currency.
With two million small businesses employing seven million people, lifting the profitability and confidence of small business is absolutely fundamental to economic development, a reality that cannot be ignored in this election-year.
The Survey also found that:
Mr Greg Evans, Chief Economist, Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, commented:
"Subdued small business conditions require a concerted effort by policy makers to take cost and regulatory pressure off small business."
"This should start with tomorrow's national wage hearing discounting future wage rises by at least the value of the higher superannuation levy to be paid by small employers from 1st July. Following from that, we need an election-year bidding war between the government and the Opposition on pro small business policy that reduces business costs and red tape."
"ACCI's Small Business Too Big to Ignore campaign (www.toobigtoignore.org.au) has secured 14,500 voices of support in six weeks – sending a compelling message to election-year politicians that small business well-being has become a central election-year issue."
This Survey clearly shows that weak trading conditions have become entrenched for the majority of Australian small businesses. All Survey indicators, with the exception of labour cost, have remained deep in contractionary territory since the global financial crisis, with only a small positive upturn in the late 2009 and early 2010.
"It is alarming that despite small business selling prices are at its 16-year low, labour costs have remained elevated. The lack of pricing power and inability to pass on cost increases have dented small business profits and its ability to employ and invest.
"Despite more positive international economic developments and five official rate cuts since last year, small business conditions and expectations are yet to see signs of significant improvement. It is disappointing that the federal budget revealed last week provided very little relief for small business, but the rate cut was welcome.
"ACCI's Pre-election Survey released two weeks ago set out small business priorities for the next government, including cost and red-tape relief to strengthen faltering profitability."
The Survey assessed business conditions and business confidence amongst 1,607 small businesses around the country over the January, February and March 2013 period.

Where Are All Of Our Rivalries Going?
Brady Hoke has got me reminiscing a little bit. Last weekend, Michigan's say-it-like-it-is football coach told a group of Wolverine fans in Grand Rapids, Mich., that Notre Dame was "chickening out" of its longtime series with Michigan when it ends in 2014.
Pitt athletic director Steve Pederson also has me feeling a little nostalgic. On Tuesday, Pederson said he was "optimistic" the Pitt-Penn State football rivalry will once again be resumed on a semi-annual basis. The two schools first began playing football games in 1893 and last met in 2000. When asked about the Backyard Brawl, though, Pederson was not quite as optimistic. Since 1943, the Pitt-WVU game was played every year before ending in 2011.
Yes, conference realignment is clearly erasing a lot of history.
Last year, six longtime football rivalries ended, most notably the Backyard Brawl, the Border Showdown (Kansas-Missouri) and the Lone Star Showdown (Texas-Texas A&M). A year before that, in 2010, Nebraska's move to the Big Ten wiped out four calendar-marking football rivalries, the biggest being the Cornhuskers' annual game against Oklahoma.
I can remember a time growing up when our Thanksgiving afternoon consisted of turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and the Oklahoma-Nebraska game on ABC at noon. Texas-Texas A&M was also played on or around Thanksgiving Day, as was the Backyard Brawl in latter years when the Big East was searching for rivalries to put on television.
None of those games moved the needle the way West Virginia-Pitt did.
Presently, these four traditional college football programs - Nebraska, Texas A&M, Missouri and West Virginia - have one thing in common: none of them are playing their biggest rivals anymore.
Removed from Nebraska's Hit List are Colorado, Missouri and Oklahoma; Texas A&M can no longer target Baylor, Texas Tech and Texas; Missouri no longer seeks and destroys Kansas, Iowa State and Illinois while the Mountaineers can no longer look forward to their annual fall meetings with Pitt, Penn State, Virginia Tech and Syracuse.
Since I have already written a book of short stories about some of my most memorable WVU-Pitt games [shameless plug, I know ;)], I thought I might as well list some WVU-Penn State games falling into that same category:
Oct. 22, 1977 – Penn State 49, West Virginia 28
This was my first WVU-Penn State game as a nine-year-old sitting in the WVU student section at Old Mountaineer Field, and there were A LOT of things going on up there that this small-town West Virginia kid didn't quite understand. Think the Do Lung Bridge scene from Apocalypse Now and that's about the best way I can describe what was happening around me. As for the game, I remember West Virginia getting two early scores before the Nittany Storm Troopers began their blitzkrieg.
Oct. 25, 1980 – Penn State 20, West Virginia 15
Cold. Rainy. Miserable … and West Virginia had a great opportunity to snap Penn State's long winning streak after it recovered an onside kick at the 48 late in the game and was driving for the go-ahead score when the Lions picked off an Oliver Luck pass at the goal line. If you recall, that was the game when Penn State won the coin toss, got the football, and was also able to take the wind. Only Joe Pa could pull that one off.
Penn State QBs Todd Blackledge and Jeff Hostetler managed just 24 yards through the air, but Booker Moore and Curt Warner made up for it by running for a combined 181 yards and scoring a TD. Yes, another stinker of a game, and, yes, another Penn State victory over the Mountaineers.
Oct. 22, 1983 – Penn State 41, West Virginia 23
Believe it or not, Penn State beat West Virginia for the 25th straight time and the Nittany Lion students thought so much of the victory that they stormed the field and tore down the goal posts! What? That's right, the Penn State students went bonkers because the Mountaineers were ranked fourth in the country at the time and were favored to win the game. Usually, Penn State quarterbacks couldn't hit the broadside of a barn - that is unless they were playing the Mountaineers. Doug Strang lit up the WVU secondary for 220 yards and three touchdowns and John L. Williams ran for 106 more in State's 18-point triumph.
Oct. 27, 1984 – West Virginia 17, Penn State 14
"Harvey Smith and Wayne Brown are set up out to the right, the flanker out wide, and the handoff is given to Randolph with blockers, swings out to the right, cuts down over the 20 … the 15 … the 10 … the five … TOUCHDOWN WEST VIRGINIA! Goooo Pat! Scott Barrows with a block for the Mountaineers – Barrows pulling and leading the blocking and Pat Randolph racing into the end zone and West Virginia scores!" – Jack Fleming.
Oct. 31, 1987 – Penn State 25, West Virginia 21
For many years, whenever I would get together with people from Pitt or Syracuse, we would always joke about the shenanigans that always seem to go on up at Penn State – crooked sidelines, relatives of Penn State players serving as referees, mysterious calls that always favored the home team, so on and so forth. Well, one of the greatest plays in WVU history – Major Harris' fourth-quarter-scrambling- sideline-to-sideline-long-pass-play to fullback Craig Taylor that would have put a dagger in Penn State's heart – was called back because an offensive lineman crossed the line of scrimmage.
Sadly, the zebras got that one right and the guilty party was none other than offensive guard John Stroia. "What I should have done was fall down, but what I did was I turned around and I started running back toward the line," Stroia told me a few years ago. "They nabbed me."
Ugh, they sure did!
Oct. 29, 1988 – West Virginia 51, Penn State 30
"For over 30 years, our faithful have been bedeviled by the Penn State Nittany Lions. Starting with the late Art Lewis, after he beat them three times in a row, the Nits began teeing off on West Virginia … Gene Corum, Jim Carlen, Bobby Bowden and Frank Cignetti took lump after lump from the Blue and White. Finally, in 1984, Don Nehlen put a stop to it. West Virginia won 17-14, but the Gold and Blue fans got so out of hand that Papa Joe Paterno had the pleasure of calling off the game with less than a minute to go, and that's typical.
"In 1985, 86 and 87, Penn State regained control but now it's 1988 and the invaders from the north are here, sneaking in to try and smoke out West Virginia one more time. For State, a winning season is at stake; for West Virginia, an undefeated season is on the line along with the Mountaineers' national ranking. One difference: the hordes from the north are the underdogs. I expect them to come out inside a Trojan Horse.
"They are still led by a crafty little guy with horned-rimmed glasses – the man who promotes himself as the savior of college football - but West Virginia is not fooled on this October day. He is Joe Paterno, the Darth Vader from Mt. Nittany, and he'll do anything to win this football game to pacify Penn State's new-found horde of hors d'oeuvre-champing, wine-sipping, Mercedes-driving, yuppie followers. MY FRIENDS THIS ISN'T A FOOTBALL GAME TODAY … IT IS A CRUSADE! We need you, wherever you are this afternoon! Hoist the battle flag, find a good rock for cover and stay with us because the invaders are here as the hills of West Virginia resound with the sounds of the Mountaineers in combat, and the West Virginia University Mountaineers are on the air! – Jack Fleming.
Oct. 26, 1991 – Penn State 51, West Virginia 6
More than 20 years later, I can still hear that lion roar Penn State would put on the PA system after each good play made by one of their players. Actually, I think the roar ran continuously for the entire second half of this 1991 loss to the Lions. When things were getting way out of hand, Don Nehlen pulled out all of his starters to make sure he had enough healthy players for the following week's game against Rutgers - which he did, a 28-3 Mountaineer win.
One other thing I recall from that Penn State game was angling to get this picture of Michael Fragale "assisting" Dr. Jerry Punch during his sideline coverage of the game for ESPN. Fragale is a big NASCAR fan and Mr. Punch is considered NASCAR royalty - at least that's what they tell me. By the way, photography is clearly not one of my strengths.
Oct. 24, 1992 – Penn State 40, West Virginia 26
The game was tied 26-all with 7:08 left when WVU linebacker Matt Taffoni recovered a Penn State fumble at the 45. However, the Mountaineers couldn't get a first down and were forced to punt. Just prior to that, fullback Rodney Woodard fumbled at the Penn State 1, erasing a certain Mountaineer score, plus, Adrian Murrell's 23-yard TD run early in the fourth quarter was brought back after Lorenzo Styles was called for a phantom hold (probably by one of the Gumans) that the Nittanys always seemed to get late in games. Ritchie Anderson scored the go-ahead touchdown with 52 seconds left and the Lions then tacked on a pick-six score with 38 seconds remaining – one of two interception returns for TDs by the State defense for the day. Other than that, it was a pretty mistake-free afternoon for the Gold and Blue in what was to be the final game played in the 59-game series.

The darkness is filling up my room
nightfall is coming very fast.
Today was really filled with gloom
good thing the days never last.
I look at my closet and there I see
something glaring at me.
It's not that big but it will do
it fills me with joy and not gloom.
This small thing..., it is called hope!
It is always found, even when I mope.
But it's never lost and never goes
and this little thing never slows.

Trigger may be the biggest little interactive shop that probably has never been heard of. This amazing boutique shoots out web sites, online games, Facebook apps, and iPhone apps for major motion pictures like Spider-Man and District 9, and consumer brands like Nike and Red Bull. Combining a talented design team with solid software engineering, Trigger has mastered the integration of creative expression and technology. With offices in Los Angeles and Shanghai, they've found the elusive winning formula for East-West collaboration. This installment of Creative Inspirations takes viewers inside what may be a prototype for the next generation design firm.
(Music playing) Jason Yim: All the way back, I started at UCLA. I went to design school there, in the graphic design program. There was five of us. There was myself, our math/physics major, this guy Yush, who was our programmer guy, and then another graphic design major Sharon Wang and then two art majors. The first agency, out of school, we started in my apartment called Epoch Communication Design, Inc.
So we all agreed that was probably the worst-named agency ever. During our final year, we did this conference at Digital World in LA Convention Center, showed all our school work and stuff and then just got a stack of cards from people that were interested in web design, work wise. So we thought that that was enough of an indication that there are enough buyers out there. We pooled all our money together. It wasn't a lot. I had my car stolen. So the money that came back from the payment for that car, we put into the company.
And we just bought a bunch of computers and just went for it. The first year was really rough. Like I think like we were learning everything on the fly. I mean, I was 22 or something like that. And so the first jobs we had, like we had local law firms or - but we started working up to kind of larger clients. We did a lot of demo work, when we didn't have real clients. But it was rough, like we ate - we didn't eat anything except for instant noodles, for like the whole year, just to keep costs down and stuff. I think the longest stretch I worked was 35 days in a row like 14 hours to 16, every single day. But it's funny.
It's just a great atmosphere. It was just cool to be in it with these friends that you have known for so long and really trying to accomplish something. And then it was funny because we, since we have lived downstairs like me, Yush, there were two rooms downstairs, and then the office was the next floor up and then another person lived in the loft area. I remember, we used to be sitting on the computer, and then Yush would come up, like straight out of bed, like in his boxer shorts, like he hadn't even washed his face and stuff, and just go straight to the computer and start programming and then just stay there.
We first worked with Hans Zimmer on his website. So Hans is an Academy Award winning composer. I think he made his name on the Lion King. But since then, I think he has done over 100 plus movies. But after we did that website, they are interested in us kind of doing a joint venture. It was going to be called Media Revolution and we were, originally, going to do original content. Like we wanted to do kind of branded entertainment and this was the way back in 95, 95, because on our movie sites, we were already doing things like animated comic books and online games.
We built them out of Shockwave instead Flash and we were trying to basically use the internet as a story telling medium, not only as a marketing medium. The goal was to do original content, but that didn't pay the bills. We started doing film marketing, straight away. We were hoping that, because Hans was involved in the production of film, that we get a lot of contacts through that side, but unfortunately, the film- making site is quite different from the film marketing site.
And with Trigger it was a brand new slate and I think one thing that was really important, right out the gate, was to be different from previous agencies.

Charles Smith Jr.
Charles Samuel Smith, Jr. also known as C. S. Smith Jr., peacefully went to be with Pearl, his loving wife, from his home at Aldersgate on the evening of December 26, 2012. He was 93 years old.
He will forever be remembered for his sweet spirit and passion for helping others. He will be long remembered at Aldersgate as the caning expert and a man who could fix almost anything. He was native of Charlotte and completed 9th grade at Tech High School. He then went to work to help support his parent, brothers and sisters. His first jobs were at Barnhart Manufacturing on Hawthorne Lane and Precision Gear on North Tryon Street. Through hard work and a passion for learning, he advanced to plant manager at Perfecting Service on Atando Avenue.
He married Pearl Cornell on Dec 11 1942. Dad was convinced that Mom completed him. Pearl went home before Charlie on July 31, 1999. After retiring, he enjoyed traveling with Pearl and numerous lifelong friends. He was an avid storyteller and had many life experiences to share. He and Pearl were active supporting the community, family and their church. They were members of the original Belmont Park United Methodist which became University City United Methodist Church. They served their church in many ways with their prayers, presence and gifts, including going on building teams to Mexico and Jamaica.
God blessed Charlie with a loving wife, Pearl Louise Connell. Together they had two sons, Charles and Mark. He is survived by Charles and Denise Smith of Charlotte, Mark Smith of Charlotte; grandchildren, Charley and Clay Smith of Charlotte and Dawn and Will Summers of Georgia and 11 great-grandchildren.
The family appreciates all the acts of kindness during his later years. Charlie had an unshakeable assurance of sharing eternity with God, Jesus, and his sweetheart Pearl. A service to celebrate the life of Charles Samuel Smith, Jr. will be held at 12:30 p.m.. Saturday January 5, 2013 at University City United Methodist Church conducted by the Rev. Dr. Ron Smith. The family will receive one hour prior to the service. A private entombment will follow at Sharon Memorial Park Mausoleum.
Since flowers are not allowed in the Mausoleum, memorials should be made to the "Journey to Freedom" at University City United Methodist Church, 3835 West W. T. Harris Blvd., Charlotte, NC 28269. Arrangements are by McEwen Funeral, Charlotte NC 28212.
Floyd "Butch" Thomas III
Floyd Leon (Butch) Thomas, III or better known as Wolfman, lost his fight with Muscular Dystrophy and Prostate Cancer on January 1, 2013. Services to celebrate his life will be held 1:00 pm Saturday January 5, 2013 at Heritage Funeral Home – Indian Trail Chapel. The family will receive friends 30 minutes prior to service.
He was born January 18, 1941, the year of the snake in Concord, N.C. When WW II began the family moved to N.J. where his father helped build ships for the Navy, after the war they moved to Charlotte. He attended Wesley Heights elementary , Berryhill, Wilson Junior High and was in the class of '59 at West Mecklenburg. In '58 and '59 he was an usher at the Carolina Theater and drove an ambulance in Charlotte and Jacksonville, FL. After returning to Charlotte, he worked at Doggett Lumber Co., Thermoplastics Corp., Jet Line Products and Winn Dixie where he was a maintenance mechanic.
He enjoyed dancing at Morris Field, Fireman's Hall and the old pavilion at Windy Hill beach. He shot pool at The Rex on S. Tryon St. and Davis Pool Room in Glenwood. He loved to hunt,
fish and play poker with friends, go to beach rallies and ride his Harley, when he was still able. He liked practical jokes and to laugh.
In addition to his parents he is preceded in death by an infant sister, Donna Marie Thomas. He is survived by his wife of 47 years, Dixie Wilson Thomas, sister, Kathi Hyghbarger, nieces, Heidi Simpson and Courtney Rounds.
In lieu of flowers Butch would ask you to raise a glass of wine, Jack Daniels, Wild Turkey or a beverage of your choice and think of all the good times.

Now and then our Tour Survival Guide will check in with rockers about life on the road. Here's Arctic Monkeys' Nick O'Malley and Matt Helders on Gary Coleman and the perils of Chinese food.
Judging Books by Covers Since 2006
Matt Helders: When we first started, we used to ask for a novel. We didn't get any good ones. We never read them, but they just looked crap.
Gary Coleman's a Fan
Nick O'Malley: [On the rider] we used to ask for a cardboard cutout of a different person. We wanted Gary Coleman. They [actually] made one in England — they just got a cardboard cutout of Yoda, and stuck [Gary Coleman]'s face on. We asked for Steve Irwin, but he's dead now, so it's not funny.

Related pages: Quaker Life
The Religious Society of Friends is organised into local meetings, each of which should be a community. It is our search for God's way that has drawn us together.
(Quaker Faith and Practice, 10.03).
Here are some of the things we do to sustain the life and witness of our Society:
- Through the Quaker Life Network, we offer practical advice, training and pastoral care for people who work with, and for, Quaker meetings
- We run National Quaker Week, and look at other ways to make our presence known more widely (see Outreach pages);
- We publish Quaker News to keep our supporters informed of the range of work in the care of Britain Yearly Meeting;
- We provide practical support and guidance about issues like safety for children and vulnerable adults.
Supporting people
Quaker Life exists to equip Quaker meetings in Britain to meet their potential as sources of "love, support, challenge, practical help and a sense of belonging" for members and attenders, and as communities embodying and living out Quaker values in today's world.
Spotlight on: Journeys in the Spirit
We began publishing Journeys in the Spirit, a resource pack for work with children and young people, in spring 2007, to help Quaker meetings work with children and young people. Within months, each edition was being sent to hundreds of subscribers!
Journeys in the Spirit provides themes and ideas for children's work. Covering a different topic each month, it supports Quakers working to help children develop a sense of spirituality and of Quaker values. We seek to learn from children by encouraging, affirming and listening to them; and to nurture them as they grow into individuals. To see previous issues of Journeys in the Spirit, click here.
Sustaining our heritage
Britain Yearly Meeting also cares for the Society's physical heritage. Swarthmoor Hall in Cumbria is the "birthplace of Quakerism" and remains under our stewardship. In London, Friends House blends old and new: we are beginning to create a Quaker Centre there, a public face for Quakerism in Britain, and this will sit alongside the Friends House Library, the most important collection of Quaker-related material in the world.
Spotlight on: Unlocking our past: Friends House Library
The Library at Friends House holds material relating to Quaker history as far back as 1673. This remarkable collection is a unique legacy, tracing the whole history of Quakerism. We seek to preserve this inheritance, and to make it more accessible to the outside world: to unlock the past and tell untold Quaker stories.
Part of this involves cataloguing the Library's items and making this catalogue available online, so that people can know what resources and treasures the Library holds. 30,000 items remain to be added to public catalogues. In 2008-09, the work focuses on the Peace collection: books and items relating to the Quakers' famous commitment to peace over the centuries. Different periods and topics wil be covered over the next few years until we have fully unlocked the collection, making it a resource for researchers, students and the public. Visit our Library page for more information.

In this Instructable I will give a detailed overview of how I created a jewelry box in 3DS Max and Zbrush before having it printed by Shapeways. I designed the jewelry box with the intention of proposing to my girlfriend with the ring inside. The box was designed in the Art Nouveau style with flourishes reminiscent of the Elven scenery of Middle Earth. I wanted this to be very personal, so her face was sculpted onto the lid with the help of a friend from a series of candid profile images.
Step 1: 3DS Max 1: Rough Shape
Work began in 3DS Max 2012 where I started by drawing a simple subdivided Plane. I applied a FFD 4x4x4 modifier and began to pull back the corners to give the front a rounded appearance. The Shell modifier was applied next to give the box some height with some subdivision segments. Lastly, I selected the front row of polys on the top of the box and performed a Hinge From Edge operation that created the rough rounded shape at the top of the box.
Step 2: 3DS Max 2: Shape Refinements
I needed to cleanup up some of the extraneous faces that were made from the Hinging operation and weld the vertices where they connected at the back of the box. I also needed to straighten out the rear edges so they would be flush with the back of the box. I selected the problem edges and used the Straight command under Loop Tools/Curvature. This straightened out the edges but also created a disruptive shape between the front and back of the box. I was able to smooth this out by selecting the problem edges and applied the Relax command (also under Loop Tools/Curvature) until the top had smooth contours.
Lastly, I applied the FFD 3x3x3 modifier to raise the top center of the box and create the space where the face would later be sculpted.
What a perfect presentation , Congrats on the romantic scenario you gave her
BTW my old one is a bit out of date all it's got is a couple of security locks and some thumb scanners
Keep up the good work.

Women's Soccer: BIG EAST Play Begins
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia women's soccer team opens BIG EAST Conference play at USF on Thursday, Sept. 15. Kickoff at USF Soccer Stadium is slated for 7:30 p.m.
The Mountaineers (4-3-0) are coming off a pair of home wins last week, defeating Marshall and High Point – both matches that featured lightning delays.
West Virginia is 5-1-1 all-time against South Florida, including a 2-1-0 mark in Tampa. Thursday's contest is a rematch of the 2010 BIG EAST Championship where Meghan Lewis' game-winner in the 82nd minute gave WVU a 1-0 victory for its second conference tournament title.
"We are excited to get into conference play where everyone starts with a clean slate," says coach Nikki Izzo-Brown. "Tomorrow's match will be very physical, and it will be their first BIG EAST match in their new stadium. We will need to be focused for a full 90 minutes to try and pull out an important road win."
The Mountaineers are 1-1-1 in their last three meetings with USF. West Virginia has outscored the Bulls 10-2 in the series, including five shutouts.
USF (4-2-1) is led by fifth-year coach Denise Schilte-Brown. The Bulls were picked to finish fourth in the American Division in the 2011 BIG EAST preseason coaches' poll.
USF is coming off its most successful season with a trip the BIG EAST finals and first-ever NCAA tournament. Senior forward Chelsea Klotz was named to the 2011 preseason all-BIG EAST team after leading the 2010 squad with 11 goals.
Klotz has recorded five points and sophomore forward Demi Stokes leads the team with seven points on three goals and one assist. Goalkeeper Nicole McClure has allowed eight goals in seven contests this season, making 21 saves.
West Virginia closes out the week with a home match against Marquette on Sunday, Sept. 18, on Breast Cancer Awareness Day.

Freeport Indonesia, the local unit of the world's largest copper and gold miner, is considering an initial public offering to abide by government rules on foreign ownership and improve corporate governance, its chief executive said.
"We are considering several options, including an IPO," Rozik Soetjipto, the president director of Freeport Indonesia, said on Tuesday. He disclosed the plan in a meeting with BeritaSatu Media Holdings, which the Jakarta Globe is part of.
Rozik said the capital market debut was expected to boost corporate governance and transparency at the company.
"The IPO would be good for Freeport Indonesia, as it tends to be more accountable and transparent," he said. He did not disclose possible terms of the IPO, such as the time frame and the size of the sale.
"Should everything go smoothly, a real strategy heading to that [IPO] direction would be carried out by 2013," he said. But Rozik emphasized that the parent company, US-based Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold, would have the final say on the matter and an IPO was just one option.
Rozik said the company, which runs the country's biggest copper mine in Papua, was focused on renegotiating its contracts ending in 2021 with the government.
Indonesia has urged foreign miners operating in the country to sell stakes to local companies, eventually bringing overseas ownership to less than half. The move is meant to protect the country's abundant natural resources and generate more revenue from extractive industries.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono issued a regulation in February requiring foreign investors with mining business permits (IUPs) and special mining business permits (IUPKs) to reduce their stakes to 49 percent in mining operations in Indonesia within a five-year period.
Freeport-McMoRan owns a 90.64 percent stake in Freeport Indonesia and the government owns the rest.
Freeport Indonesia claims to be the largest single taxpayer in the country. Last year it contributed $2.4 billion to the state coffers through taxes or dividends, and it spent another $2.5 billion through indirect means such as employment.
It had invested a total of $8.6 billion in Indonesia as of 2011 and planned to spend at least $16.9 billion through 2041, should its contract be extended another 20 years.
If Freeport Indonesia lists its shares, it could be the largest-ever IPO in the country. The company claimed on Tuesday to be responsible for 1.59 percent of the nation's gross domestic product. Indonesia's economy grew 6.5 percent to $817 billion last year, according to government data.
Freeport-McMoRan, which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, has a total market capitalization of $32 billion.
Astra International, Indonesia's largest automotive distributor, is valued at $30 billion, while Unilever has a market value of $20 billion.
Indonesia itself accounted for $5 billion of Freeport-McMoRan's total $21 billion in revenue last year, Bloomberg data show.
Analysts and economists in Jakarta were divided over the potential IPO, particularly about whether the share sale would benefit native Papuans, some of whom have been clamoring for independence for the resource-rich island.
"They should not be allowed to have an IPO instead of a divestment," Ikhsan Modjo, an economist at the Institute for Development of Economics and Finance (Indef), said on Tuesday. "Their contract of work clearly stated that they must divest the shares to the government first.
"The move [to hold an IPO] would not benefit Indonesia, let alone Papuans, as the stake would just end up in the hands of foreign investors.
Pri Agung Rakhmanto, an executive director at the Reforminer Institute think tank, said an IPO could create problems.
"As previous cases have shown, divesting mining company shares to the regional government is problematic," he said. He was referring to the divestment of Newmont Nusa Tenggara, which runs the Batu Hijau mine on Sumbawa Island, a process that has been mired in controversy and allegations of embezzlement and corruption.
Pri Agung and Ikhsan agreed selling the stake directly to the government or local companies would be better than an IPO.
"An IPO would not be well received," Pri Agung said. "I think the government would prefer for Freeport to sell its shares to them, rather than to the public, because they do not want to be sidelined."
Ikhsan urged Freeport Indonesia to sell the stake to Papuans. "For the sake of Papuans, regionally owned Papuan companies should cooperate with listed state-owned companies to bid for the divestment," he said. "That way, many eyes would oversee the process."
Freeport Indonesia has been at the center of criticism over tailings pollution around its mining site and a major political conflict between the regional and central governments.

Three plant biologists at Rutgers' Waksman Institute of Microbiology are obsessed with duckweed, a tiny aquatic plant with an unassuming name. They have even convinced the federal government to focus its attention on duckweed's tremendous potential for cleaning up pollution, combating global warming and feeding the world.
New Jersey Gov. Jon S. Corzine cited Rutgers researchers during testimony before the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works in Washington on July 21. Corzine said the United States is on the verge of a "green revolution." "Skill and ingenuity of many kinds will be needed,'' he said.
At the behest of the Rutgers scientists and their colleagues from five other institutions, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) will channel resources at its national laboratories into sequencing the genome of the lowly duckweed. The DOE's Joint Genome Institute announced on July 2 that its Community Sequencing Program will support the genomic sequencing of duckweed (Spirodela polyrhiza) as one of its priority projects for 2009 directed toward new biomass and bioenergy programs.
According to the researchers, duckweed plants can extract nitrogen and phosphate pollutants from agricultural and municipal wastewater. They can reduce algae growth, coliform bacterial counts and mosquito larvae on ponds, while concentrating heavy metals, capturing or degrading toxic chemicals, and encourage the growth of other aquatic animals such as frogs and fowl. These plants produce biomass faster than any other flowering plant, serve as high-protein feed for domestic animals and show clear potential as an alternative for biofuel production.
Todd Michael, a member of the Waksman Institute and an assistant professor of plant biology and pathology at Rutgers, led a multi-institutional initiative to have the U.S. DOE Joint Genome Institute perform high-throughput sequencing of this smallest, fastest growing and simplest of flowering plants.
"The Spirodela genome sequence could unlock the remarkable potential of a rapidly growing aquatic plant for absorbing atmospheric carbon dioxide, ecosystem carbon cycling and biofuel production," said Michael, who is also a member of the faculty of the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences.
His collaborators in this undertaking include professors Randall Kerstetter and Joachim Messing of the Waksman Institute, and scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory, the Institut für Integrative Biologie (Switzerland), the University of Jena (Germany), Kyoto University (Japan) and Oregon State University.
Paul Falkowski, director of the Rutgers Energy Institute, has also been conducting research projects and studies on algae use as an alternative energy source. Falkowski, a professor at Rutgers' Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences, is researching methods which would make producing biofuel from algae more effective and cost productive. His research includes schemes for the optimization of the oil extraction and the processing methods which turn the oil into biodiesel.
With the passage of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and recent increases in food prices worldwide, the drive to develop sustainable feedstocks and processing protocols for biofuel production has intensified. The search for new biomass species has revealed the potential of duckweed species in this regard as well as for bioremediation and environmental carbon capture.

The victim, "just wanted a father figure," McGettigan said, "but the defendant would spoon with him, put his hand down his pants, touch his genitals."
Dottie Sandusky and her son, Matt, were escorted from their seats in the courtroom this morning to be sequestered with other witnesses. Other members of Sandusky's family remained in the courtroom.
A white tent was erected at the court's side entrance where the witnesses are expected to arrive, in order to protect them from the media and the public. Still, the alleged victims' identities will be made public for the first time when they take the stand to testify and their names are read into the public record. ABC News does not report the names of victims of sex crimes.
McGettigan also promised during opening statements to use Sandusky's own media interviews against him in court, noting that the jury would hear Sandusky's responses on NBC and in the New York Times to questions about his alleged crimes, prompting Amendola to confer with his paralegal.
The court took a break ahead of the first witness being called.
The investigation began in 2008 when a high school student in Centre County, Pa., told his mother and school administrators that Sandusky had molested him, launching a widespread but secretive effort to interview dozens of boys Sandusky mentored through his charity, The Second Mile, as well as Penn State officials who may have seen or heard about inappropriate actions.
Charges of child sex abuse were brought against Sandusky on Nov. 4, 2011, igniting a firestorm of scandal around the prestigious football program that led to the dismissal of the university's president and Paterno, and criminal charges against two school officials.
ABC News' Lauren Pearle and Candace Smith contributed to this report

BT has denied claims that its rollout of fibre-optic cables has ground to a halt in north London because of complaints from residents, insisting that the deployment remains 100 percent on track.A report in The Times said that BT's plans to upgrade its network to enable super-fast broadband had been halted by residents of Muswell Hill, who successfully convinced their local council that the junction boxes are unsightly and block pavements for pedestrians.John Crompton, chairman of the Muswell Hill and Fortis Green Residents' Association, is reported as saying: "These cabinets are unsightly and are taller than most garden walls. It's counter-intuitive. Technology is meant to be getting smaller."But BT hiclaims the pilot has not been halted."The majority of cabinets have been successfully installed in Muswell Hill and customers are already enjoying super fast broadband," said a spokeswoman. "There is an issue with a small number of cabinets in a conservation area, and BT Openreach is in dialogue with the council on a solution."The spokeswoman also noted that the current problems in Muswell Hill would not affect BT's deployment plans for fibre-to-the-cabinet rollouts.

Start with exercise 1. Do as many reps as you can in 1 minute. Immediately move on to exercise 2 for 1 minute. Rest for 15 seconds, then repeat both moves. Rest for 15 seconds, then proceed to exercises 3 and 4, following the same pattern. Rest for 15 seconds, then finish with 1 minute of the Turbocharger.
Hold a pair of dumbbells (try starting with five to 10 pounds) at arm's length at your sides, palms facing forward (a). Curl them toward your shoulders (b), then press them overhead until your arms are straight, palms facing in (c). Return to start.
Stand tall with feet shoulder-width apart and hold a dumbbell above your head with both hands (a). Without moving your upper arms, lower the dumbbell behind your head until your elbows are bent 90 degrees (b). Pause, then straighten arms to return to the starting position.
Get in a plank position, placing your hands on the floor so they're slightly more than shoulder-width apart (a). Lower your body until your chest nearly touches the floor (b). Pause at the bottom, then push yourself back to the starting position as quickly as possible.
Grab a dumbbell in your right hand, bend your knees, and hinge forward at the hips to lower your torso until it's almost parallel to the floor. Let the dumbbell hang at arm's length (a). In one motion, bend your elbow to pull the weight toward you, rotating your torso to the right (b). Pause, then slowly return to start.
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms at your sides (a). Push your hips back, bend your knees, and lower your body as deep as you can into a squat. As you lower place your hands on the floor in front of you, shifting your weight onto them (b). Jump your legs back, so that you're now in a pushup position (c). Quickly reverse the movement to return to start. That's one rep.
