Claim comes as rumours of PSP 2 ramp up ahead of next week's E3 in LA.
Sony Europe's gaming chief has said that the PSPgo was released as part of a learning process, confirming that the UMD-free handheld has not done been flying off the shelves since it launched a year ago.
SCEE's Andrew House said in an interview, "One of the reasons we launched [the] PSPgo was to understand where that consumer behaviour was going. We were getting signals from consumers that this was the kind of device that they wanted. But we need to recognise that consumers like their packaged media library."
Related links:

- PSPgo: 10 free games for new owners
- PSP 2: new plans revealed
House went on to admit that the move hadn't , "…been measured by success in sales," saying the company purposefully launched the hub in "a mature lifecycle."
It's certainly a new take from Sony in the run up to E3, which starts next week. With rumours of a new PSP 2 rampant, it appears it's realised that it can't battle Apple's download only model for the iPhone and is planning on keeping with UMDs for its next-gen handheld. It's widely acknowledged that Sony's download model is pricey and doesn't favour PSPgo owners.
We'll be covering all the major E3 news as it happens, so stay tuned for updates.

Ashland woman hit by car
By DAVID E. MALLOY
ASHLAND -- An Ashland woman had to be life-flighted to a Huntington hospital Tuesday afternoon after being struck by a vehicle in the Kroger parking lot in Ashland, according to Ashland police.
Ruth Martin, 84, of Ashland, was listed in stable condition at St Mary's Medical Center in Huntington on Tuesday afternoon and was still being evaluated, according to Doug Korstanje, a hospital spokesman.
Martin was struck by a vehicle driven by Mary O'Daniel of County Road 1 in Lawrence County, Ohio, according to Lt. William Bare of the Ashland Police Department.
Witnesses said Martin apparently stepped out in front of the vehicle and was struck, Bare said. No charges have been filed in the case, he said.
The accident was reported about 2 p.m. Tuesday. Martin was flown to Huntington by a HealthNet helicopter, Bare said.

The first-ever auction for solar energy development in two of Colorado's four Solar Energy Zones was a quick one – unfortunately, no solar developers bid on the parcels.
By utilizing an expedited review process allowed under the National Environmental Policy Act called a categorical exclusion, the Forest Service can now speed up approvals for projects that restore aquatic health.
Guiding solar development to low-conflict zones is key for protecting wildlands and wildlife habitat while advancing responsible projects. Last week's announcement by the BLM shows the agency's commitment to implementing its smart western solar plan – and real interes

Balancing the need to produce clean domestic energy and protecting lands that are home to critical water sources, wildlands, wildlife and many other values requires a thoughtful approach.

John Aldridge believes the increased competition for places at Liverpool already made a difference during the 2-1 victory over Southampton, and expects extra depth to bring long-term success too.
The Reds kicked off their 2014-15 Barclays Premier League challenge with three points from a testing home encounter with the Saints, requiring a late Daniel Sturridge effort to secure the positive result.
Brendan Rodgers utilised the options available in his squad to introduce Joe Allen and Rickie Lambert in the second half, later explaining how a subtle formation switch proved crucial.
Providing his own reflections on a hard-fought opening weekend win for his former club, Aldridge also pointed to the impact achieved by the pair of substitutes.
"Joe added energy and pace to our midfield, and Rickie's presence seemed to unsettle Southampton's defence," he wrote in his Liverpool Echo column.
"They dropped off when he came on, and Liverpool were able to get the ball into the box."
With the injured summer signings Adam Lallana and Lazar Markovic soon to return and Alberto Moreno now in the ranks after his transfer from Sevilla, Aldridge anticipates helpful battles for starting berths.
He continued: "There is real competition now at Anfield - two players for every position.
"And when the likes of Adam Lallana, Lazar Markovic and Alberto Moreno are factored in, it will be a real challenge just to get into the starting XI."

Top 10 tech breakthroughs of 2011
- By Sebastian Anthony on December 20, 2011 at 11:17 am
- Comment
IBM Watson
When IBM's Watson resoundingly thrashed Ken Jennings at Jeopardy in 2011, you were probably a) amazed, b) terrified, or C) a mix of the two. It's understandable that you would be amazed that a computer can understand natural language and answer tricky questions in a blink of an eye, but terrified at the glimpse of a Skynet-like post-apocalyptic world where computers and robots dominate man.
In recent months, IBM has repurposed Watson to help sell more Watsons to other companies, to help with medical diagnosis, and even to battle (or empower) patent trolls.
We certainly haven't seen the end of Watson — and don't forget, in some ways, Apple's voice-controlled assistant Siri is a consumerized, hand-held version of Watson.

FA Trophy 1987 final ball on sale for Burton Albion and Kidderminster Harriers fans
Posted: February 04, 2014|
A PIECE of Burton Albion's history is up for grabs as part of a drive to raise cash for charity.
The 1987 FA Trophy final match ball is being auctioned off in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.
On an historic day, the Brewers contested the final at the old Wembley Stadium against non-league giants Kidderminster Harriers, sharing a goalless draw, before losing the replay 2-1.
It was the first and only time Albion have been to Wembley in the club's near 64-year history.
Now, Kidderminster Harriers Independent Supporters' Trust have been given the ball by Paul "Ocker" Davies, who played on the day for Kiddie.
He himself had only just received it from John Pryce, the club's 'boot boy' who was given the ball after full-time on May 9, 1987.
Cash raised from the ball's sale will be added to that raised from a charity walk being undertaken by 50 fans, who are walking from Kidderminster to Forest Green for a game in April.
They are hoping to raise £10,000 from the 60-mile hike.
Any Albion fans interested in making a bid for the ball should email either Karl Davies on email@example.com or Dave Pountney on firstname.lastname@example.com by 10pm on March 1.
A bid of £200 has already been received.
All cash raised is going to Macmillan and donations can be made at www.justgiving.co.uk/fgrwalkers.

Infectious Disease Prevention and Control (IDPC) Project
Through a cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), NACCHO has undertaken a number of activities to increase the capacity of local health departments to prevent and control infectious diseases in their communities. The IDPC project aims to enhance local health preparedness and response to emerging infections by accomplishing the following:
NACCHO identifies and disseminates resources and model practices to local health department IDPC programs through a variety of strategies and communication mechanisms. The project has supported NACCHO's IDPC workgroup, comprised of staff from local health departments across the country. The IDPC project also enabled NACCHO to inform more robust and systematic strategies for gathering local H1N1 situational awareness, useful practices, lessons learned, and input on guidance and policies during the 2009 outbreak.
Healthcare-Associated Infection (HAI) Project
The goal of the HAI project is to strengthen local health department capacity to prevent HAIs and multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs). This includes increasing local health department engagement in state HAI prevention activities, increasing stakeholders' understanding of HAI-related needs, making available resources that help to inform engagement of local health departments in HAI prevention, and supporting collaboration between local health departments and partners such as hospitals and long-term care facilities (LTCFs). The project will investigate the challenges and benefits to establishing collaborative relationships centered on the prevention and control of HAIs and drug resistance.
In 2011, NACCHO, in collaboration with CDC, conducted a needs assessment of 13 local health departments to better understand the following:
NACCHO hosted a webinar on July 26, 2012, to present the findings from this needs assessment. The webinar recording and presentation slides are available online.
NACCHO, in collaboration with CDC, initiated a demonstration project for two local health departments to engage in state HAI prevention efforts in 2012. The DuPage County (IL) and Livingston County (MI) health departments were selected to explore the role of local public health and local health department collaboration with LTCFs in HAI/MDRO prevention. In 2013, the demonstration project was expanded to the City of Milwaukee Health Department (WI) and the Philadelphia Department of Public Health (PA). In 2014, the four demonstration sites will help inform the development of a guidance document that outlines roles and opportunities for local health departments to prevent and reduce HAIs in collaboration with state health departments.

|Find the best surf spots
While not very consistant and somewhat far from cities, there are waves to be had on both the west and east coast. The surf here can get good-- very good. But believe me, it's SUPER RARE. I mean, really, really rare. Even when a sweet, fat typhoon rolls up from down near Guam, there's no guarentee that the waves will work anywhere on the coast. There are only a handful of semi-decent spots on the entire island and all of them are extremely fickle. The most consistent is Jungmun-- I mean, it has the most consistent slop and rarely has any shape at all. And, as recently more and more Koreans have bought boards and proclaimed themselves Princes of the Sandbox (ie, the zoo that is known as Jungmun beach), the vibe isn't very mellow anymore.
Anyway, there are a few powerful reef breaks dotted around the island. As I mentioned, they are very fickle but occasionally very good.

Observations and Perceptions - I recently re-read the comments I wrote back in 2006 regarding the scene at Jungmun/Jeju, and while I can maybe see how some of what I wrote might be perceived as bitter (hello pudfluff), I was merely honestly sharing my observations and experience while living here, and none of what I wrote was bullshit. My tone was intentionally sarcastic, of course, yet make no mistake: I still stand unequivocally by what I wrote beforehand, and if you weren't a witness (as I was) to the negative changes happening here back then, well one (pudfluff) could be forgiven for misconstruing my remarks. Happily, four good years later, some things have changed for the better, and to reflect these positive changes I feel obliged to ammend one or two of my earlier comments. First and foremost, I wish to pay sincere respect to a few of the local boys, some of the guys born and bred on the island. Over the last few years, a few have improved considerably, so that now when we do get a solid swell there are actually one or two or three who are willing to paddle out and charge at the spattering of fickle reefs that only light up when Jungmun is washed out/too big. To witness their improvement and stoke has been a distinct pleasure, and with the increase of their skills I venture to say the formerly antagonistic attitude they occasionally cast about has been transformed into a much more easygoing vibe. They are more confident, less insecure, more friendly. Generally speaking. In truth, most of the boys in the WaveClub are really good guys, very mellow, just wanna surf and have fun. Inevitably, people being people, there are still one or two 'individuals' down at Jungmun who believe that dropping-in is a sign of status, but again it's my experience that I still never see such guys charging when there's size here, and thus to them no respect is due. Certainly, every year more and more beginners take to the water, so that now on any given slopburger day you can find 25+ people in the water, but overall the vibe has become more mellow again at Jungmun (although the ultra low-key/empty days are long gone..boohoo..). For how long? Who knows. Surfing's popularity here in Korea/Jeju has increased exponentially since when I began living here in 2000. That was always to be expected, so no worries. The waves here though on Jeju for the most part, I state again emphatically, simply do not justify any hype you may hear. Case in point, not one single good solid typhoon swell has lit up the coast yet this season (although fingers crossed, Sept/Oct may redeem our rusty boards). Sure, there have been lots of small waves at Jungmun this summer for longboards or fishes, but nothing else of note. And every once in a while, a Japanese camera crew or sponsored guys from Hawaii will roll in and do an article for a mag, or shoot some vid, and try to convey the notion that Jeju is some unridden realm. latz :)
By pudfluff , 16-05-2010
Korea is nice - Yes, there is surf to be had. Yes, swells are rare. that`s about as far as you need to read into the intro for Korea. The rest is a bunch of bitter BS about jeju island. If you aren`t scared of cold water the NE coast of SK in winter is semi-consistient mostly offshore.. and eeeemmmmpppty. Your local surf break might be super sweet but if you never get to surf there alone Korea might me kind of nice. Plus there`s about 3 shops up here if you`re looking for gear, wax, etc. check the facebook group page "surfin' korea" for photos and the like.
By Anonymous , 07-02-2010
Had good surf in Korea yesterday - I went surf this weekend to east sea where have had quite rich waves. 3~4ft. and pretty nice peeling. U gotta check the chart before going though. It was fickle, as the article said. It took more than 3 hours by car from seoul. freaking far. I wish I lived there.

The league is a standard Yahoo public league, meaning 10 teams and a 15 man roster. 1QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1TE, 1K, 1DEF. It's more of a TD league since ALL TDs are worth 6 points, and you only got 1 point per 20 rushing/receiving yards and 1 point per 50 passing yards. Here was how it went down.
Yahoo Public 13623 Draft (Socialist Comrades)
Round 1, Pick 4: Shuan Alexander
Round 2, Pick 17: Corey Dillon

RB: Shaun Alexander

TE: Marcus Pollard
K: Mike Vanderjagt
DEF: Miami
Bench: Marty Booker, Trent Green, Travis Henry, Kevin Dyson, Jake Plummer, Ken Dilger
As you can see I had some idiots in the draft, as I got some solid WRs late. I also got two top tier RBs starting for me as well. The only question mark is at QB and backup RB, but McNair is still a top 10 QB and Henry is a fine backup. BTW some idiot dropped Jay Fiedler and Chris Chambers onto the wavier wire. I'm going to try to dump Pummer for Fiedler and Dyson for Chambers. I hope I can pull that off.
Any comments or suggestions?

Capellan Confederation Armed Forces
(CCAF) in MechWarrior Online
The CCAF is the premiere military organization of the Inner Sphere. For centuries we have protected our realm from multiple invaders, each of whom boast much larger military industrial complexes. They see us as weak and often invade the Confederation with their full, combined might; wave upon wave of barbaric forces hammering our borders and stealing the lives of innocent Capellan Citizens. We have faced these foes for nearly 800 years, yet here we remain - proud, strong, Capellan!
The Capellan spirit soars on Celestial wings - never to be clipped.
Whether you are a hardcore player, a casual player, a scotch drinker, a BattleTech lore historian, someone who likes to side with the underdog, or a simply person who likes to play giant robot shooters with a great group of people, the CCAF has a home for you. See below for the specific unit that fits your play style. and don't hesitate to sign up TODAY!
Red Lancers: Hardcore
Focused on having the best performance and statistics in the organization, this unit seeks the best of the best. Many apply, few are accepted. Through rigorous training and high expectations, in order to make this unit you must have both the skill and the dedication to win. Most of them are hardcore players; you will truly be in elite company here.
4th Tau Ceti Rangers: "Cascore"
Describing themselves as "Cascore" - casual in playtime, not in play style. A veteran unit with many victories, and a very high overall activity level. If you are capable 'Mech pilot, who knows (or wants to know) the BattleTech universe, who loves to talk about gaming, is able to play as a team player, and able do all of this with a glass of scotch in your hand, look no further than 4TCR.
286th Highlander Dragoons: Casual Friendly
Easily the most balanced of the Capellan Confederation units, the players of the 286th Highlander Dragoons range from casual to hardcore - always striving for perfection without turning the game into a full time job. If you are looking for an active membership who range the gamut of all player styles, look to the 286th.
Kincade's Rangers: Russian Speaking
Hmmm ... MMORPG doesn't use UTF-8 encoding, I see. So, the Russian characters wouldn't appear.
If you speak Russian, and are looking for a great group of Russian Federation and Russian speaking folks who are active in MWO, stop by and check out Kincade's Rangers!
In true Capellan tradition, there are also Warrior Houses and loyal mercenary units to found or join. The lucky few may even be invited to join the vaunted Death Commandos.

How might you go about setting application preferences automatically for each user in an OD?
For example: a standard machine runs Propellerheads Reason, Ableton Live and Logic Pro. Users logging in for the first time must set preferences for each application i.e. audio device, i/ps, o/ps, buffer size etc.
I'm sure there must be a way to set all these automatically for all users.
Any advice greatly appreciated!

Install Server Admin Tools on a Mac that has the applications you mentioned. Then establish a connection with your server using Workgroup Manager.
In Workgroup Manager, select the users or groups on the left and select the Preferences button. Then the details option. You can import the existing preference file from the Mac that you are currently using WM on. These preferences will then be "managed" for the specified OD users/groups.

I've done as advised...didn't expect it to be quite that straightforward
One final query - is .GlobalPreferences.plist within Library/Preferences the correct preferences file?
There's also a sub-folder within Library/Preferences entitled System Configuration containing a preferences.plist
Thanks again for your help.

Public Safety - Safety is the cornerstone of government's responsibility. I will continue to support and work with our Police, Fire and EMS personnel to keep Matthews safe. Riding with police and training with the fire department has helped me better understand needs of both departments. I will fight to keep the best personnel, equipment, and support advanced training so that residences and businesses will continue to be protected 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Economic Development - I pledge my support to responsible economic development. Using economic development recommendations, I will create a pro-active plan to ensure progressive beneficial development, create jobs and support the balance of residential, commercial and industrial development. I will be strategic in the development of our limited land resources and proactive in attracting new business while preserving open green space. Ultimately, Matthews will have more high paying jobs and enable us to compete with other communities not only today but into the future.
Schools - I have supported neighborhood schools for many years. Schools in Matthews are some of the best in the entire county because of the involvement of the parents, students and residence of the town. I have a great working relationship with Dr. Pete Gorman. My efforts will remain centered around achieving and maintaining high standards in our schools. With two children in the CMS system, I have a vested interest in keeping the level of education superior for the families of Matthews.
Historic Preservation - As co-chair of the Historical Task Force I am involved in establishing a long range historical preservation advisory committee to set the foundation for preservation efforts. Preservation of our history will enhance the future as we blend heritage with responsible progressive development. Our past, present and future plans will coexist in Matthews to preserve our legacy for future generations.
Environmental - I will promote environmental initiatives to protect our community and save our natural resources. I will reduce the amount of trash sent to local landfills. Working with our Environmental Committee, I will develop, support and provide additional recycling opportunities at all Town sponsored events such as Movies in the Park and Summer Concerts. I will begin by providing plastic bottle and aluminum can receptacles alongside trash bins in all Town owned buildings. I will also work to provide bike racks at all town owned parks and facilities. I will reduce air and noise pollution by requiring that town owned vehicles are turned off instead of running idle while waiting to be used. I will continue to work with county officials to control sedimentation and floodway problems.

Harpswell to vote on creating bandstand fund account
HARPSWELL — If citizens say yes in the June 11 municipal referendum, the town will have a new source of revenue for local entertainment – free of taxpayer dollars.
Next week's municipal ballot asks voters if a special revenue account should be created for the Harpswell Bandstand, which will be given to the town at a June 16 dedication ceremony.
The bandstand, located on Mitchell Field near the waterfront, was built by a volunteer group, the Harpswell Bandstand Committee, under the leadership of Chairman Robert Modr and Vice Chairman Dan Huber. The group raised about $70,000 to plan and construct the bandstand.
A summer concert series – including performances by Freeport Coastal Winds Concert Band, Pine Tree Academy Bell Choir and Cul de Sax – has already been planned for the bandstand.
Modr will also be a familiar face at the bandstand this summer, as he leads the new Harpswell Concert Band, which will debut at the June 16 event. A complete schedule of events is available on the town's website at harpswell.maine.gov.
While some of the bandstand performances will cost the town nothing, others would be paid for with funds from the proposed special revenue account.
Town Administrator Kristi Eiane said the Bandstand Committee is expected to provide donations to cover expenses for this year's concerts. The special revenue account, if approved by citizens, will allow anyone to donate by sending a check to the town of Harpswell.
The account would then be used to pay maintenance costs and other expenses associated with the bandstand. When the town's fiscal year ends, any leftover funds would remain in the account.
If citizens vote down the special revenue account, Eiane said, upkeep and some events might have to be deferred until the next municipal budget is set at the March 2014 Town Meeting.
"We might just not do anything that might cost the town some money," Eiane said. "We will own the bandstand, but we didn't budget any money for any further improvements. Those things would have to be put on hold if this didn't pass."
Modr said if the special revenue account is approved, he doubts it will run out of funds to continue covering expenses.
"If we have to raise $70,000 or more for this," Modr said, "I don't think the generous people of Harpswell are going to let it sit and rot."
Polls for the June 11 municipal and School Administrative District 75 referendums will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Harpswell mainland residents vote at Merriconeag Grange Hall at 529 Harpswell Road; Great Island residents vote at Cundy's Harbor Community Building on Cundy's Harbor Road; and Bailey Island and Orr's Island residents cast their ballots at Orr's Island Schoolhouse, 1594 Harpswell Islands Road.

The Cold Filtered Ramblings of Gene Mueller
Thanks For Coming--Now Go Away
Barry Bonds will have the number.
Hank Aaron keeps the record.
It's that simple, at least to baseball fans living outside the San Francisco area. Bonds is on the cusp of breaking Aaron's all-time home run record this weekend, and Giants manager Bruce Bochy will apparently spare us locals the indignity of having the record fall on Aaron's turf--it was here that he smacked his final dinger, on this very date: July 20th, 1976.
The thinking is that Bonds should set the mark at home--not just to appease his loyal local following but to make sure that the soundtrack is made up of cheers, rather than boos. There's only one place where that's going to happen: A-T-and-T Park.
It's denizens will tell you Bonds is innocent until proven guilty, that others in his era got a pass while he is being made into the poster child for a baseball era gone terribly wrong. It hurts to say it, but they're right. Grand juries keep sniffing, Bud Selig has his own personal bloodhound on the steroid case, but right now Bonds is guilty only of suspicious weight gain and mysteriously strong performances at a very late stage in life.
That said, even if Bonds never smeared on the clear or the cream, even if he never took a needle in his ample ass, he still is a very unlikeable man. A bad teammate. A louse to women. Surly to the press. Indifferent to fans.
Baseball is littered with men of great accomplishment and questionable character (Google "Ty Cobb"). I respect their accomplishments, too, but I don't have to like them as people. Rickey Henderson stole an historic base here a few decades back, and he wasn't the most pleasant sort to ever don a jock.
This is different. This is the ESPN-bigger-than-life-show-the-highlight-on-a-continuous-loop era. This will get mounds of attention--much more than Aaron got when he broke Babe Ruth's mark in the 70's. It wasn't for a lack of interest--there just wasn't all that much media round, comparatively speaking, and the outlets played a different role back then, Sports was the toy box, and news as news. The two seldom cross-pollinated.
Bonds will get his due. I, for one, will skip the ballpark this weekend. Let the souvenir seekers have the bleachers. Let the boo birds air out their lungs--most while taking pictures (?).
Bonds can't be ignored. And, he can't leave Milwaukee soon enough.

Carl Mays: 'My mind is made up; don't confuse me with facts'
Through the years as I have spoken to various groups, there have been people who have hung around following my talks or seminars. Rather than sharing a quick "thank you" or "good talk" or "enjoyed it" or some other much-appreciated response and handshake, these people have stayed to ask questions, make comments or share stories and examples.
I also express my appreciation to them for pursuing some line of thought. One such participant approached me recently after a keynote address at a company's annual sales meeting.
He asked, "Why is it that some clients just won't listen to facts?" He went on to tell me that he could have in hand every kind of researched data, proof – "cold, hard, no-doubt-about-it truth" – but some people just won't open their eyes and ears and minds to what is presented to them in black and white – or living color. I shared with the man that day something I had picked up back in the late 1970s when I first began speaking professionally.
I initially heard it from the late Cavett Robert, founding father of the National Speakers Association, when he emphasized "Human acts are committed far more often through the dictates of feelings and emotions than through logic and reason."
I later discovered that Dr. Karl Menninger and other distinguished psychiatrists and psychologists had emphasized it for years.
The importance of giving great consideration to people's feelings and emotions brings to mind a phrase with which you are probably familiar: "My mind is made up. Don't confuse me with facts!" Where and when did the phrase originate? Well, even though it has been used many times since, research shows that Roy S. Durstine, a prominent specialist in advertising, wrote a 1945 article for Advertising and Selling magazine titled "Don't Confuse Me With Facts!" The article described a meeting between an ad agency and a client.
A group from the agency had just finished its presentation of a market survey. The findings were conclusive – clearly showing that the current policies being followed by the client could lead only to disappointment and possibly to financial disaster. However, despite the facts given in the presentation, the client had no desire to change the strategy that had been previously selected. The following conversation occurred:
The client said, "I still think we'll go along as we have been doing." The agency spokesperson countered with, "But how can you say that in the face of this evidence?" The client looked at the spokesperson, stared at the presentation charts that had been set up in the room, and seemed deep in thought. Finally, he reached for a cigarette, lit it, and said softly, "Don't confuse me with facts!"
One of my early presentations as a speaker was titled "The Human Factor." Later, I lengthened the title to "The Human Factor – The Answer Begins With You." Currently, I have incorporated the "feelings and emotions" emphasis into my "Seeds of Success" presentation. All of these presentations emphasize that, generally speaking, less than 15 percent of an individual's success is due to his or her technical knowledge and over 85 percent is due to people knowledge.
This means that you must know inside and out, up and down, across and in-between what you are doing technically. It also means you better constantly work on studying, dealing with and communicating with the human factor of feelings and emotions.
Carl Mays is a National Speakers Association Hall of Fame member and author, whose MyMerlin.net mentoring site is based on his "A Strategy For Winning" book and program. For more information, visit www.carlmays.com.

Pesticides Stolen
From Warehouses in Oxnard, CA, Safety Concerns Questioned
Although it is fairly common in other parts of California, Ventura County has not had this problem before this year. A possible reason that this section of the state is being targeted recently is the fact that it is home to some large conventional produce growers who keep sizable stocks of the chemicals on hand. Farmers report that an increase in strawberry production means an increase in the amount of pesticides that are being bought, stored, and eventually applied to the crops.
Making pesticides available on the black market may enable unliscensed people to gain access to hazardous materials without proper permits. If the pesticides are obtained illegally, it is more difficult to track or enforce their use. People have expressed concern that because of lax security of pesticide storage facilities and the absence of federal law in this area terrorists could gain access and stockpile hazard chemicals.
Pesticides are toxic substances designed to kill on contact. Not only are they weapons against rodents, weeds, and insects on conventional farms, their dangerous nature makes them a serious safety liability when they are unaccounted for by distributors and purchasers. The mishandling of pesticides, whether unintentional or not, could do serious health and environmental damage.

Ivy Compton-Burnett
|Ivy Compton-Burnett
5 June 1884
Pinner, Middlesex
|27 August 1969
(aged 85)
Dame Ivy Compton-Burnett, DBE (5 June 1884 – 27 August 1969) was an English novelist, published (in the original hardback editions) as I. Compton-Burnett. She was awarded the 1955 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for her novel Mother and Son.
Her subject matter focused on the late-Victorian upper classes. Manservant and Maidservant (1947) is often considered to be her best work.
Early life[edit]
Ivy Compton-Burnett was born in Pinner, Middlesex, on 5 June 1884, as the seventh of twelve children of the well-known homeopathic physician Dr James Compton-Burnett (pronounced 'Cumpton-Burnit'), by his second wife, Katharine (1855–1911), daughter of Rowland Rees, civil engineer. She grew up in Hove and London. She was educated at home with two brothers until the age of 14. She attended Addiscombe College, Hove, in 1898–1901, then boarded for two terms in 1901–2 at Howard College, Bedford, before embarking on a university degree in Classics. After graduating she in turn tutored four younger sisters at home.[1]
Ivy's mother sent all her stepchildren away to boarding-school as soon as possible. According to the scholar Patrick Lyons, "In widowhood Compton-Burnett's mother provided her with an early model for the line of outrageous domestic bullies that appear in her novels, anticipating the grief-stricken and over-demanding Sophia Stace (Brothers and Sisters, 1929) and the more shamelessly lucid Harriet Haslem (Men and Wives, 1931), who declares candidly: 'I see my children's faces, and am urged by the hurt in them to go further, and driven on to the worse.'" Four of Ivy's sisters rebelled against home life in 1915 and moved up to London to live in a flat with the pianist Myra Hess. Ivy successfully managed the considerable family fortune after her mother's death.[1]
In the author blurb of the old Penguin editions of her novels there was a paragraph written by Compton-Burnett herself: "I have had such an uneventful life that there is little information to give. I was educated with my brothers in the country as a child, and later went to Holloway College, and took a degree in Classics. I lived with my family when I was quite young but for most of my life have had my own flat in London. I see a good deal of a good many friends, not all of them writing people. And there is really no more to say." This omits the fact that her favourite brother, Guy, died of pneumonia; another, Noel, was killed on the Somme, and her two youngest sisters, Stephanie Primrose and Catharine (called "Baby" and "Topsy"), died in a suicide pact by taking veronal in their locked bedroom on Christmas Day, 1917. Not one of the twelve siblings had children, and all eight girls remained unmarried.[2]
Compton-Burnett spent much of her life as a companion to Margaret Jourdain (1876–1951), a leading authority and writer on the decorative arts and the history of furniture, who shared the author's Kensington flat from 1919. For the first ten years, Compton-Burnett seems to have remained unobtrusively in the background, always severely dressed in black. When Pastors and Masters appeared in 1925, Jourdain claimed to have been unaware that her friend was writing a novel. Evidence that theirs may have been a lesbian relationship is sparse.[1]
Compton-Burnett was appointed a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in 1967.
Ivy Compton-Burnett held no religious beliefs. She died at her Kensington home on 27 August 1969 and was cremated at Putney Vale Crematorium.[1]
Apart from Dolores (1911), a traditional novel she later rejected as something "one wrote as a girl", Compton-Burnett's fiction deals with domestic situations in large households which, to all intents and purposes, invariably seem Edwardian. The description of human weaknesses and foibles of all sorts pervades her work, and the family that emerges from each of her novels must be seen as dysfunctional in one way or another. Starting with Pastors and Masters (1925), Compton-Burnett developed a highly individualistic style. Her fiction relies heavily on dialogue and demands constant attention on the reader's part: there are instances in her work where important information is casually mentioned in a half sentence. Her use of punctuation is deliberately perfunctory: there are no colons or semi-colons, no exclamation marks, no italics.
Critical reception[edit]
There has been longstanding appreciation of Compton-Burnett's novels. Of Pastors and Masters the New Statesman wrote: "It is astonishing, amazing. It is like nothing else in the world. It is a work of genius." In her essay collection L'Ère du soupçon (1956), an early manifesto for the French nouveau roman, Nathalie Sarraute hails Compton-Burnett as "one of the greatest novelists England has ever had". Elizabeth Bowen said of the wartime Parents and Children, "To read in these days a page of Compton-Burnett dialogue is to think of the sound of glass being swept up, one of these London mornings after a blitz."[3] Patrick Lyons wrote over 30 years later, "These are witty and often demanding novels, peopled with alert sceptics who are devoted to epigrammatic talk and edgily precise analysis of talk."[1]

How can I save application data with CLIPBOARD to save for later use?
Given the cost of a license my guess is that they have blocked access to the copy/paste functions knowing that someone might use that to bypass the save limitation. This is not uncommon in what is essentially vertical market software. Most vertical software thaw a small number of sales per year compared to other titles. They're going to take lots of steps to make sure users actually purchase a license.
