Things I liked:Bought this to teach my 9 year old great niece how to shoot. Didn't want a 700 or 800 fps rifle to start and this one at only 350 fits the bill perfectly. Light weight at only 3 pounds, one pump to cock, the bb port is big enough that teaching her to load it by herself was easy and it also has the nice little feature of even being pumped, it won't fire until after you pull the lever back and load a bb, plus the safety is just stiff enough that she has to put a little push into it and doesn't just slide back and forth and we talk about safety and safe shooting practices every time we go out before she gets to shoot.
Things I would have changed:Not a thing, great little beginner rifle for teaching all the basics.
What others should know:Great little rifle for the price to teach a beginning shooter and get them in the practice of safe gun handling and shooting before they move up to a rifle with more power and don't forget the Junior shooting glasses, my niece knows she has to wear a pair and the one time I had a brain fart and forgot, she jumped all over me and asked where they were because she wasn't shooting without them...all the safety talks have definitely paid off!!
Things I liked:Surprisingly accurate at close range, easy to pump for younger kids. BBs feed very smoothly. Fun to shoot. Great for plinking.
Things I would have changed:Use wad cutter pellets only, preferably 7-8 gr. The port for loading pellets (single shot) is a little too short for longer pellets, so getting them in and correctly aligned is tedious. Stick with shorter pellets.
What others should know:In its price range its a good value and a great starter gun, but also good for more experienced shooters.
Things I liked:The silky smooth E-Z single pump! Very nice camo job. A much better fit for grown ups than the Crosman 760 for example, so a gun everyone can enjoy and shoot comfortly. A very underrated airgun for laid back plinking. I like the fact that it's smooth-bore as opposed to being rifled as I can load er up with 200 BBs if I so choose. I'm not at all a fan of shooting BBs in pellet/BB guns that have rifled barrels.
Things I would have changed:Would have been nice to squeeze a little more FPS out it.
What others should know:Shoots Daisy BBs and Crosman's cheap pointed pellets very well. So well that I have not tried much else in it. If you can live with the low power output, you will be very happy.

Police union seeks more help for Newtown officers
Some of the police officers who responded to the elementary school shooting in Newtown are so traumatized they haven't been working, but they have to use sick time and could soon be at risk of going without a paycheck, a union official said Wednesday.
The union, Council 15 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, is seeking more generous assistance in talks with the town's insurer. It is also reaching out to lawmakers and the governor's office with proposals to modify state law and expand workers' compensation benefits for officers who witness horrific crime scenes.
"The insurer for the town has taken a position that these officers are entitled to only what the statute allows. Unfortunately for these officers, the statute doesn't allow any benefits," said Eric Brown, an attorney for the union, which represents nearly 4,000 officers around Connecticut.
Storm's toll up to 6 dead as system heads east
A powerful storm system that erupted Christmas Day with Gulf Coast tornadoes and snow in the nation's midsection headed for the Northeast on Wednesday, spreading blizzard conditions that slowed holiday travel.
The death toll rose to six with car accidents on snow and sleet-slickened highways in Arkansas and Oklahoma.
Post-Christmas travelers braced for flight delays and a raft of weather warnings for drivers.
Indianapolis had 7 inches on the ground by 10 a.m. after receiving as much as 3 inches of snow in a single hour, said John Kwiatkowski, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Indianapolis.
Russian parliament endorses anti-US adoption bill
Defying a storm of domestic and international criticism, Russia moved toward finalizing a ban on Americans adopting Russian children, as Parliament's upper house voted unanimously Wednesday in favor of a measure that President Vladimir Putin has indicated he will sign into law.
The bill is widely seen as the Kremlin's retaliation against an American law that calls for sanctions against Russians deemed to be human rights violators. It comes as Putin takes an increasingly confrontational attitude toward the West, brushing aside concerns about a crackdown on dissent and democratic freedoms.
All 143 members of the Federation Council present voted to support the bill.
"Children must be placed in Russian families, and this is a cornerstone issue for us," said Sen. Mikhail Margelov, chairman of the Council's foreign affairs committee.

Eating Out
What should a burger joint look like?
On 'A Hamburger Today' the poster gives a demerit to the looks of a restaurant in London selling a hamburger, as if it detracted from the quality of the burger itself...It this fair? I have enjoyed great hamburgers in many venues thru the years, both high-end and low, and never really cared whether I was in a fancy dining room or a so-called 'burger joint'.
Does the atmosphere matter when eating a burger, really?

Once all of the documentation requirements have been received and processed by the Financial Aid Office, you will receive an award letter notification. Your award letter is an estimate of the amount of financial aid you are eligible for. If, for any reason, a change is made to your Free Application for Financial Aid (FAFSA), your eligibility could change. If your eligibility changes, you will receive a revised award letter informing you of the changes in your aid package.
If, after reviewing your award letter, you wish to discuss your financial aid award further, please contact the Financial Aid Office. We understand that special circumstances may occur, such as your, or your parents' loss of employment, etc., which may allow us to reconsider your eligibility for financial aid.
All financial aid listed on the award letter is subject to final funding by federal, state, institutional, or private sources and to revised information you may provide. The Financial Aid Office must revise any financial aid offer that was incorrectly computed, even if it was the mistake of the Financial Aid Office.
The aid amounts on your award letter are based on full‐time enrollment. If you are not enrolled full time, or aren't sure, check the "Enrollment Status" chart below to determine your enrollment. If your enrollment status is not "full‐time", check the "Less‐Than‐Full‐Time Aid Chart" below to determine your award amount.
Federal Direct Loans
If there is a percentage in the box, multiply your semester award amount by the percentage in the box for the correct enrollment status.
Example: A full‐time Pell grant for fall is $2,000. For ¾ time, the amount would be $1,500, the ½ time amount would be $1,000, and less than half time amount would be $500.
If your full year Pell grant award is $1,400 or less, you should check with the Financial Aid Office if you will be less than full‐time. Depending on your enrollment status, you may not be able to receive your Pell award.

While mass mailing of electronic junk messages has fallen into disfavor among spammers, phishing continues to attract a loyal following. That's because the technique has been successful at bypassing anti-spam measures deployed by many organizations.
Old-fashioned mass spam mailings are like direct mail campaigns: massive numbers of messages are sent to recipients with little regard to whom those recipients might be.
Phishing pays more attention to whom it's aimed at. For example, it might be aimed at customers of the bank. Although many of the phishing messages will land in the inboxes of people who aren't customers of the target bank, the junk mailer hopes to land in enough inboxes that do belong to bank customers to make whatever scam is being perpetrated profitable.
That's because phishers trade on trust. A bank customer is likely to trust communication from their bank. A phisher can exploit that trust to get the recipient of a phishing email to do things — like open attachments — they wouldn't do for an untrusted or unknown source.
Malicious escapades perpetrated by phishing include theft of personal information and the planting of pernicious software on computers.
Needless to say, the better prepared an organization is to foil phishers, the better off its workers and valuable data will be.
When defending against phishers, a browser can be an important weapon. That's because many phishing messages contain links to infected websites designed to impose mischief on anyone who lands on them.
The proliferation of such sites continues to grow, according to independent tester NSS labs. In 2011, for example, under 40,000 phishing sites were being created a month. This year, that number has jumped to more than 50,000 per month.
The good news, however, is that the major web browsers have become quite good at identifying and blocking access to those sites. In a test over a 10-day period, NSS found found that Google's browser Chrome 21 blocked 94 percent of the phishing URLs appearing on its address bar, followed by Internet Explorer 10 (92 percent), Safari 5 (91 percent) in Firefox 15 (90 percent).
NSS calculates the margin of error for its test to be two percent, so most of the browsers are pretty close to equal at handling nefarious URLs.
The testers noted that there are some other considerations besides blocking bad URLs when evaluating a browser's effectiveness against phishing attacks. For instance, the quickness at which a browser can react to new black URLs is also very important, especially since the shelf life of malicious websites continues to decline.
In 2010, for example, the average uptime for sites link to phishing attacks was 73 hours. This year, the average has slipped to 23 hours.
The quickest browser for blocking zero-day phishing URLs was Safari 5, with a rate of 79.2 percent. Chrome had the lowest rate, at 53.2 percent.
As for the fastest average time for discovering and blocking unsavory URLs, Firefox 15 led the pack (2.35 hours), while the other browsers ranged from 5.38 to 6.11 hours.
NSS also tested the browsers for their effectiveness at blocking malicious downloads. Microsoft Internet Explorer led all its competitors, blocking more than 99.1 percent of all dastardly downloads. Chrome finished a distant second at 70.4 percent. Safari and Firefox were malware sieves with a rate of less than six percent.

This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.
Liverpool face competition from Fiorentina in the race to sign Villarreal's Mateo Musacchio.
talkSPORT revealed Brendan Rodgers' interest in the central defender last month.
But they are not the only admirers of the Argentine, who now tops the transfer wishlist of Florence's Serie A side.
Musacchio, who has also been watched by Barcelona, claims he is happy at Villarreal where he has been a key player this season, while his agent is leaving every option open.
Agent Marcelo Lombilla told reporters in Italy: "We have heard of Fiorentina's interest, but the truth is that the club has not contacted me about Mateo.
"At this time we are not talking about him in connection with them or even any other club in the Premier League."
The centre-back is out of contract at the end of the season and would be available on a free.

Editorial Staff • West End • 30 Oct 1998
Amadeus has epic written all over it. Mortal versus Mozart, a bargain with God. Epic subject, epic story, epic length. And of course, that epic-sounding music, in the background, the foreground, suffusing all.
Sir Peter Hall s production is clearly conscious of the epic associations of Peter Shaffer s 1979 play but doesn t let itself be cowed by them. Hall s slick and fluid direction steers us confidently through the intrigues and shifting time periods of 18th century Viennese society where Antonio Salieri revelled and Mozart rebelled. The requisite opulence of court life is also there, more flavoursome than full-on - the brocade jackets, gilded chairs, trolleys of towering sweets and William Dudley s clever double-layered backdrop of glass and mirror. The sheets veer from translucent to opaque, revealing and concealing where necessary. At one point, as Salieri muses in the foreground, a Mozart opera plays in ghostly shadow behind. At another, the house lights are raised and the audience stares back at itself.
Or it would if anyone was able to take their eyes off a superb cast that glitters and glistens of its own accord. David Suchet - he of the hooded brow and piercing stare - was made for the part of the bitter and menacing Salieri, the man who "blazed like a comet across the firmament of Europe" in his lifetime but is all too aware of the worthlessness of his legacy.
And as Salieri s nemesis, Mozart, Michael Sheen is absolutely captivating - that laugh, that boyish charm, that reckless spontaneity. Even if you ve never seen Milos Forman s formidable film, you know, from the very beginning, that this creature is doomed. His decline is heartrending to watch and you are tempted to sprint onto the stage and protect him - no, no, don t say that, please don t do that - guard him against himself and of course Salieri.
With all this going for it then, why does Amadeus fail to fully engage? Perhaps its the intervening years since its premiere, and yes, that film, which obfuscate one s memory about the flaws in the stage version. For there are flaws. Most noticeably, the telling-not-showing nature of Salieri s monologues - fine enough for a film where perspectives can be manipulated, on stage they just come across as overly long and at times tedious, a handbrake on the action.
Epic? Not quite. But blame the playwright, not the production. And go to see it anyway.

This was done and tested on a Linux (CentOS) system running PHP 4.
- Configure PHP with ODBC support.
yum install php4-odbc unixODBC
You should check that it is successfully installed by doing phpinfo().
- Obtain the latest DB2 ODBC driver from IBM. You can download it from here. Lookout for Driver for ODBC and CLI.
- Untar it at a dir. I chose
- Edit
odbcinst.inito define a new ODBC connection. The file should be located at
/etc/odbcinst.ini. Add the following:
[DB2] Description = DB2 Driver Driver = /opt/db2cli/lib/libdb2.so FileUsage = 1 DontDLClose = 1
- You can now connect to IBM DB2 on PHP via ODBC. You can use the following PHP script to test the connection:
$database = 'DBNAME'; $hostname = 'HOST'; $port = 'PORT'; $user = 'USERNAME'; $password = 'PASSWORD'; $driver = 'DB2'; $conn_string = "DRIVER=\{$driver};DATABASE=$database;HOSTNAME=$hostname;PORT=$port;PROTOCOL=TCPIP;UID=$user;PWD=$password;"; if (!$db = odbc_connect ($conn_string, $user, $password)) echo 'Error!'; else echo 'Success!'; odbc_close($db);
You can read about more information on PHP ODBC functions via PHP's Manual.
Though this guide is based on PHP4, this should also work for PHP5 with some minor modifications. Otherwise, you can also check out DB2 extension of PHP.

Henrico's Top Teachers – Shahidah Jackson
Wilder M.S., physical education
Shahidah Jackson's smile has been brightening Wilder Middle School since the school opened its doors for the first time in 1998.
Jackson is a physical education teacher at the school, but her influence extends well beyond gymnasium walls and playing fields, according to those who know her.
"She is always willing to help every student and teacher with any problems or needs that may arise," a colleague wrote in a nomination letter. "Any time you walk by this teacher, she finds a way to put a smile on your face."
Jackson fills her days with school-related activities that extend well beyond class hours.
As a cheerleading coach during nearly her entire tenure at Wilder, she has worked with students after school and has helped provide an outlet for some who might have chosen the wrong path otherwise.
"During tryouts, she makes a point to have someone on her team that some would consider 'troublesome' in school, and to keep this student on the right path throughout the school year," a nominator wrote. "I feel that is tremendous dedication to the students, for many teachers try to avoid these students in our school. But Mrs. Jackson always finds the good in all of the students at Wilder.
"She tries to provide her cheerleaders with as many opportunities as possible by going out of her way to take these students to competitions and to provide team bonding times, even if it means opening the doors to her home."
Jackson co-founded the school's C.L.A.S.S.Y. organization (Creating Ladylike Attitudes for Sophistication and Success) for teenage girls. The club provides mentoring and life skills for its participants and is designed to develop strong citizens in and out of the classroom, while showing participants how they can have a positive impact on the community.
"At this level with students, all they need is someone that will show them attention and keep them motivated, grounded and give them encouragement to stay focused," Jackson says. "So each year, I challenge myself to help out as many students as possible. I feel rewarded each day when I enter the building and I am greeted with hugs and smiles. [It feels great] to know that the students feel that I genuinely care and love each one of them, and I get the same in return."
Jackson also is a frequent volunteer at other school events and serves as a sponsor for other clubs at Wilder as well.
In addition to her broad range of involvement at the school, colleagues also describe Jackson as an active volunteer away from school in the Eastern Henrico community.
"Everyone knows this teacher for her generosity, caring and relentless unselfish attitude," one wrote. "Any time a student, teacher, or administration needs something, she never fails and is always there wherever needed."

CMoR reopens at new Short Pump site
The Children's Museum of Richmond last week opened its new Short Pump location at Short Pump Town Center, to the delight of children who attended a sneak preview of the location July 10. The new facility, located under the forthcoming LL Bean store (formerly the food court) is 8,500 square feet in size – much larger than CMoR's former Short Pump location at West Broad Village, which opened in 2010. The new space includes The CarMax Foundation Service Station, the Silver Diner, a grocery store, a performance stage and an art studio, as well as a giant Light Bright Wall. > Read more.

Our Story
The story of Roses for Autism is in its name. We grow and sell roses in an integrated community with individuals on the autism spectrum. We believe employees - like roses - blossom when given proper training and support and are recognized for their unique qualities and gifts. As such, we grow possibilities, together, every day.
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are diagnosed in 1 in 88 children in the U.S., affecting 4 times as many boys as girls. Once these individuals reach adulthood, the unemployment rate is 25-50%, and the under-empoyment rate is even higher. Roses for Autism at the Pinchbeck Farm (RFA) hopes to change this by offering career training and hands-on employment opportunities for adults living with ASD.
RFA is the first initiative under Growing Possibilities, a non-profit organization founded by Ability Beyond in 2009. Alongside the rose farm, RFA runs a Career Training Program for adults living with autism who are interested in focusing on their abilities in relation to finding meaningful work and living more independent lives. The vision of Growing Possibilities is for RFA to become a replicable working model for inclusive transitional employment for adults with autism living successful and meaningful lives.
Roses for Autism offers 16 varieties of fresh, full-blooming fragrant roses, 3 varieties of lilies, and colorful gerbera daisies to both retail and wholesale outlets. Locals can pull up to the farm 6 days a week and buy our regionally-renown Pinchbeck flowers for themselves or a loved one, and watch our operation in action. Other customers can order special occasion and everyday "thinking of you" gifts for next-day delivery anywhere in the U.S., or request floral arrangements to welcome attendees at meetings, conventions, dinners, and other special events.
We grow, cut, and package our flowers daily in the largest heated greenhouse in America, located on 38-acres of the historic and celebrated Pinchbeck Farm. The farm has been in operation since 1929 in Guilford, Connecticut, a New England town that was once home to more than 100 working farms. One of the town's very last agricultural hold-outs, the Pinchbeck Farm shut down briefly in 2008 when foreign competition overcame the family business. Tom Pinchbeck, fourth-generation owner, was delighted to reopen operations the following year as a new enterprise - Roses for Autism - the brainchild of family friend and parent advocate Jim Lyman.
Like roses, people (and businesses!) bud and bloom and sometimes wither and break and then bud again. That's the story of Roses for Autism at the Pinchbeck Farm. With your support, RFA can become a story that grows beyond possibilities into the fabric of America's workforce. Such an outcome would be a growth opportunity for all.

Considering the attacks Sheldon Adelson funded against Mitt Romney – a candidate he reportedly likes – just imagine how he treats candidates he disagrees with:
In a bit of political chess, Mr. Adelson is ready to not only directly support the former House speaker in the Republican primary, but to use his cash to push Rick Santorum from his position atop the latest national polls, according to people who have discussed the matter with Mr. Adelson.
If Mr. Gingrich could afford to continue campaigning, one of those people said, he might be able to draw off conservative and evangelical voters from Mr. Santorum, improving the chances of Mitt Romney, who Mr. Adelson believes has a better chance to win November's general election. …
Mr. Adelson doesn't oppose Mr. Santorum, but he doesn't share the former Pennsylvania senator's socially conservative positions, including his strong anti-abortion views, associates said. Mr. Santorum was one of only two Republicans who didn't meet with Mr. Adelson in October around the time of a candidates' debate in Las Vegas, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Adelson reportedly hasn't shifted allegiances to Romney, but it's basically implied if he pursues this strategy. The last thing Romney needs at this point is for Gingrich to drop out of the race. And from Romney's perspective, Adelson's cash could be put to much better use by funding Gingrich ads against Santorum. After all, Romney doesn't really need the money at this point, and Newt has more credibility on the right to pull off harsh attacks on Santorum's social positions.
This also shows that any hopes Republicans had of capturing a greater percentage of the Jewish vote may go out the window if Santorum's the candidate. Moderate Jews who might consider voting Republican based on Israel will probably find it hard to support a candidate with far-right views on abortion, gay marriage and contraception.

Changi Airport Group (CAG) has chosen a consortium to pilot the architecture, design concept and construction of the new Terminal 4 at Singapore's Changi airport.
The project consortium is being led by SAA Architects and includes Benoy Ltd, Aecom Singapore and Beca Carter Hollings & Ferner.
The airport says that the consortium was chosen from a design competition process involving five consortia which submitted proposals for the new terminal.
The consortium has already started working with CAG to integrate the operational requirements into the design of the new terminal. It will also conduct a number of workshops with stakeholders, including airlines, ground handlers and the immigration authorities to ensure that the terminal meets the needs of each party.
Plans and designs for the new terminal will be released soon, says the airport operator.
"Architecturally, the design of T4 will be functional, and yet have its own distinct character compared to the other three terminals at Changi airport," says Yam Kum Weng, CAG executive vice-president air hub and development. "Due to height restrictions and the area of the site available, T4 will be smaller in terms of physical space and handling capacity."
The two-storey Terminal 4 is expected to open in 2017 and cater to regional full service and low-cost carriers.
It is being built at the site of the former Budget Terminal, which is now being demolished. Ground breaking for the new building is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2013.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) - Only time will tell if miles of sanbagged levees will keep the Red River from surging into Fargo, N.D., and neighboring Moorhead, MN. The river is expected to crest tomorrow evening. Forecasters say it could climb as high as 43 feet, nearly three feet higher than the record set 112 years ago.
DALLAS (AP) - A major spring blizzard that buried parts of Colorado is now churning across the Southern Plains. Forecasters are predicting up to a food of snow, 45-mile-per-hour winds and massive snowdrifts for parts of the region, including the Texas Panhandle and Oklahoma.
WASHINGTON (AP) - A top U.S. intelligence official predicts that violence in Afghanistan will rise through 2009 despite an increase
in U.S. forces ordered by the Obama administration. There has been
a steady increase in violence because of a Taliban resurgence in
the past three years. President Barack Obama calls the situation in
the region "increasingly perilous."
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Thousands in Oakland, Calif., have paid their respects to four slain police officers. Mourners jammed a large sports arena and overflowed into a stadium. The officers were killed Saturday by a parolee. Two were gunned down during a traffic stop and the other two died in a shootout.
BERLIN (AP) - Experts say a German researcher will know within a few days if an experimental vaccine will keep her from developing
the deadly Ebola virus. The scientist accidentally pricked her finger March 12 with a needle used to inject the virus into lab mice. The 21-day Ebola incubation period passes next week.

School of Engineering
About Us
The School of Engineering provides unique educational opportunities for students interested in engineering concepts and their practical application at both the undergraduate and masters levels. Our mission is to prepare students to assume engineering positions in industry with the potential to advance to leadership positions. All undergraduate programs are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Engineering is a profession whose practitioners have values embodied in a creed and code of ethics.
Who's That in Front?
All courses, both lecture and lab, are taught by faculty, most of whom have significant applied industrial experience in the areas in which they teach. Undergraduate class sizes of 30 students or less in most cases, as well as masters class sizes of 20 students or less, allow faculty and students to work closely together both in and out of class time.
Often, faculty offer students the opportunity for one-on-one collaboration through research projects or through independent study on topics of mutual interest.
Mind on - Hands on
The majority of our courses include a significant laboratory experience. Theory is learned in the classroom and immediately applied in the laboratory. Our main laboratory facilities are located in the 30,000-sq. ft. Fred M. Keller Engineering Laboratories & our new 55,000-sq. ft. John C. Kennedy Hall of Engineering building on the Pew Campus in Grand Rapids. The buildings are available to engineering students 24 hours a day. Additional laboratory facilities are located in the Allendale in the Padnos Hall of Science.
Students use the laboratories for a variety of projects, including the industrially based capstone senior design project and the capstone masters degree project. View sample projects here.
Engineering Does Compute
Engineering students have access to numerous computers and a wide variety of commercial engineering software products. Our wireless internet infrastructure supports students who want to bring their own portable computers to class, laboratory, and study areas and still be connected. In addition to this laptop support, we currently provide over 100 computers for use by our approximately 600 students.
Active Professionals
Student chapters of a number of professional engineering societies operate within the School of Engineering. Learn about them here.
The School of Engineering is a good citizen of downtown Grand Rapids. Community service projects are constantly ongoing. Learn about them by reading our events page.

Call it what you will; plagiarism, theft, rip off, infringement, paying homage, this sort of thing happens everyday on the web.
As designers and developers there is nothing worse than seeing your carefully crafted website appear under the accreditation of someone else (usually in a crude, bastardised version of its former self). Our designs, infuse our personality, our individuality, our creativity, our time, our labour, our understanding of our discipline and in one moment, it has become the new shop front of a stranger.
Let's define plagiarism by looking at the definition from www.plagiarism.org
Many people think of plagiarism as copying another's work, or borrowing someone else's original ideas. But terms like "copying" and "borrowing" can disguise the seriousness of the offense:
According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, to "plagiarize" means
- to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own
- to use (another's production) without crediting the source
- to commit literary theft
- to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source.
In other words, plagiarism is an act of fraud. It involves both stealing someone else's work and lying about it afterward.
We love the openness of HTML & CSS and the ability to look at someone else's code and figure out how things work. That is how we learn from each other and that is what makes the web community so great. The danger of course is that this also leaves your work open to abuse from plagiarists. More often than not a simple cut and paste from the source code will all but surrender your code, but more sophisticated methods include freely available programs that in a few clicks, can actually suck an entire website down, including scripts, CSS, sub pages, fav icons, images etc… a scary thought I know.
I am of course speaking from experience, as this very website has been plagiarised on countless occasions. Some have been genuine mistakes from young designers who are still learning the difference between influence and imitation, but others have done so, conscientiously knowing they have taken someone else's work in its entirety and are passing it off as their own (on many occasions this is work that a client has paid good money for). A total lack of respect for the originator of the work.
The Name and Shame gallery
Here are some recent examples of folk who have plagiarised this website. Some of these cases include direct copies, others as you can see include some attempt to customise it. Click on the image for full view.
Jason Shore – Secret Robot
My website was entirely copied and hosted at www.secretrobot.co.uk. The Name, location, portfolio, contact and copyright information was changed and then re-uploaded as images. Even my tweets and personal projects remained but this site has since been removed by the plagiarist.
Fatih Konstanz
Once again my website has been entirely copied and this plagiarised version is still currently hosted at www.fkorkmaz.de. Strangely only the name and location has been changed, which you will note from the site still points to my home town of Belfast, yet this person is from Germany. My portfolio, tweets, screencasts all remain, so effectively this plagiarist is passing all my work off as their own. The contact form is non functional so I am currently pursuing the take down of this copy.
Dave Topping
The plagiarist in this instance copied my entire site and amended it for their own use at www.topping98.co.uk. Funnily enough the spinning moustache was removed from my robot brand, which to say the least made him look ever so awkward. This site has since been removed after a cease and desist was sent.
The Ideacorners
I have literally just come across this website at time of writing so have yet to follow this up. While attempts have been made to customise it by changing the colours and some of the imagery, the fact remains that the code and design has been directly lifted from my website (compare the source code if you want to see). The disappointing thing about this is the plagiarist, is also apparently an educator who teaches Interactive Design and Web Programming at a College. As an Educator and University Lecturer in Interactive Design myself, I find this lapse in judgement hard to believe.
I can honestly tell you it is an awful feeling to witness the audacity of some people, who make only minimal changes to your hard work, by removing your name and copyright notice and slapping on their own. There are many fantastic free websites and resources out there that anyone can download and customise for their own personal use, so there really are no excuses for cases of plagiarism of this nature. It is blatant theft.
Your website has been stolen, what next?
- The first step is to build a case. Take screenshots of the copied website. Run a whois (www.whois.com/whois/) and note who the hosting company is, and of course if they haven't protected it, you might get a name and contact details of the owner.
- Contact the person in question. When writing an email. It is important not to go in guns blazing, but instead offer a constructive and informative record of the violations they have committed. If you can't find an email for them, it is worth a Google search to see if they have a Twitter account or other social networking presence, but make absolutely sure it is the right person, before you make any accusations. There are some great templates to help you with the legal wording and I have adapted my own from the Plagiarism Today website.
Dear {name}
It has come to my attention that you, have made unauthorised use of copyright protected material that I own. Your page, located at: {their website} blatantly copied my website located at: {your website}
I have reserved all rights to the code, design, narrative which you have used on your website. You neither asked for nor received permission to use the work nor to publish your own copy of it. Furthermore, you have taken credit for my work and caused confusion as to whom the original author of the work is, therefore, I believe you have wilfully infringed my rights.
You are asked to immediately remove the website, and all copies of it, and destroy such copies immediately, and that you desist from this or any other infringement of my rights in the future.
Your prompt reply is appreciated.
- If after 24 hours you haven't received a response and the site is still online, it is time to contact the company with whom the site is hosted. Explain the situation and make sure you read up on their terms or service as it is good to quote these back to the hosting company when you contact them.
"I would request that as this violates my rights, your Terms of Service agreement, and of The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA) that this site be removed immediately from the web and the owner contacted explaining the violation"
- Use the community. Never underestimate the power of social networking in situations like this. Time and time again I have witnessed the web community rally together against cases of plagiarism to make their voices heard on the likes of Twitter. It may be one thing to ignore one person, but it is a lot more difficult to ignore a bombardment of tweets. These sort of name and shame tactics usually make an initially reluctant infringer, comply with the demands to remove the plagiarised content.
- If at this stage neither the infringer or the web hosts have responded to your requests, you should consider contacting Google. I don't know much about this procedure, however it is Google's policy to respond to notices of copyright infringement. More information available at http://www.google.co.uk/dmca.html
- If all else fails, it is worth contacting the DMCA, a Solicitor/Lawyer, Trading Standards or Citizens Advice for legal aid. In serious situations where scam/fraud is involved you may need to contact the Police, who will take a statement from you and pass it on to their eCrimes unit for investigation. Make sure you have kept a record of all correspondence between you and the violating party and provide evidence of your initial design work to prove you are the originator of the work.
How to find out if your site has been plagiarised?
Use a search engine. A good starting point is a Google search for some copy or keywords. It is also worth trying the fantastic Copyscape.com which will search all the copy on your page and list any duplicates it finds.
Google Image search. You can now search Google with an image, for example an illustration, brand or photograph and it will find any matches or similar images. This isn't 100% accurate, but it is a solid starting point for basic investigations.
Vigilance. If people are aware of your work, likelihood is someone will spot a thief. I've discovered several cases of plagiarism through other people spotting it & notifying me. It is a fantastic feeling to know that the web community looks out for each other.
How to protect your website
Know your rights and know the laws that protect your intellectual property. These vary depending on your country of origin, so a quick Google search may lead you on the right path to find this information.
Free online Copyright Protection site Myows is A great resource for registering and time stamping all types of work.
"Myows offers a professional one-stop copyright management solution from registration through to issuing take-down notices. You'll get access to a global copyright savvy creative community as well as expert legal information and great advice! Thousands of members use Myows every day to protect their intellectual property and show others that they take their work and their rights seriously."
Share your progress and finished work on showcase sites such as Dribbble, Forrst and CSS Galleries. These effectively time-stamp visuals of your work, so these can also be included when compiling a case to prove the existence of your site before the plagiarism occurred.
What can we do?
At the end of the day plagiarism is not confined to the web. It happens in all aspects of life, from entertainment to product design. I feel we can all play a role within the discipline in which we specialise to educate others in the appropriate professional practices and in understanding what separates inspiration from imitation. Jessica Hische sums this up superbly in the apdtly named comic Inspiration vs Imitation or Why you should know your shit. Governments continually tender laws, acts and rights that are ill-informed and reactive to a situation, rather than looking at the bigger picture. Schools & Universities have had enough time to adopt the web and put in place measures to educate and support it within learning, in the same way research, dissertations, homeworks etc should be appropriately referenced to credit the sources of information. Businesses also have a responsibility to themselves, staff and clients to uphold an appropriate practice when it comes to the work they are producing, so it is we, the professional web community who are at the forefront of educating and discouraging plagiarism within our industry.
The victims of plagiarism
Plagiarism affects the livelihood of good, honest designers and developers, who have spent many years learning the craft, understanding the industry and vying for business. It devalues our work, our reputation and costs us money, not to mention the shear amount of time you waste compiling cases against plagiarists. Your work could be sold on to others without you ever knowing, which is effectively taking money from your own pocket. Clients are tricked into believing the person who they have asked to do work for them is the originator of the work, when in fact, a plagiarist is passing other peoples work off as their own for their own personal gain. In many situations were money is involved this can be likened to the selling of stolen goods.
It saddens me to have to write a post like this, but awareness and education is our greatest defence against plagiarism. I hope this will help anyone who has been a victim of plagiarism, regardless of its severity. Please feel free to share this post and spread the word and I'd like to hear your thoughts on how plagiarism has affected you.

Product description
The indispensable guide for all family historians tracing the marriages of their English and Welsh ancestors between 1600 and the twentieth century. Based upon years of painstaking primary research, including new studies of thousands of couples, this book explains clearly and concisely why, how, when and where people in past centuries married. Family historians just starting out will find advice on where 'missing' marriages are most likely to be found, while those who are already well advanced in tracing their family tree will be able to interpret their discoveries to better understand their ancestors' motivations. How, for example, should we interpret our ancestors' decisions to marry in a particular form or place, or at a particular time? Did their choices make them exceptional or normal for their day? Might their marriages have been bigamous, clandestine, or void? Or might they have conscientiously followed the rules set down by Church and State? Professor Rebecca Probert explains the mistakes and confusion found in most genealogical guides, and thoroughly rewrites how family historians should understand their ancestors' lives in this most personal and universal of areas.

What a bunch of useless comments, except for the condolences for the officer. Don't you think that this girl has a family that has grieved for the officer. Don't you think that they are being punished also. Lets see what the verdict is before we find someone guilty.
And why don't you use your real names, I see only one other person beside myself with enough guts to be identified.
Is this what the people of this area are like? What a disgrace.
Mike Concordia
You know folks why don't we have a trial first before we hang this girl? The true facts will come out at the trial. All the name calling will not get the officer back. Don't you think that the girls family is broken hearted for the officer's family?
I would like to see any of you deal with this. Have any of you sent a donation to the officers family?
Give it a break.
And I sign my name , it's Mike Concordia . Do any of you have the guts to do the same? As a Marine Corps Vet I'm as heard hearted as anyone , but I have learned to think before I open my mouth. Mike Concordia

Vehicle: Unknown
Set in: 2019
Spoiler alert: You may or may not like the alternative ending to Blade Runner, which seems to reveal that Deckard was a replicant all along. He drives off into the sunset, literally, with a replicant. They chitchat about the future.
As for the car, it looks convincing. Still, automotive experts might cry foul. For starters, the Harrison Ford character barely pays attention to the road—but he's still using a steering wheel. First of all, pay attention to where you're driving, Deckard. And second, by 2019, car companies like Cadillac, Audi, and Ford will do the driving for us. Even today driverless shuttles like the Navia don't bother with a steering wheel.
Vehicle: General Motors Ultralite
Set in: 2032
In this sci-fi actioner with Sylvester Stallone, a cop is catapulted into the future. The police force drive around in the GM Ultralite concept car. When Sandra Bullock's character decides to drive on her own, she says "self-drive on," and a steering wheel enlarges to fit her hands.
Some nice future tech there. What's less impressive is the array of screens, including one on the wheel, to the side, and in the dash. Future vehicles will simplify the in-car displays. We'll speak instructions to them (the movie included that innovation) and focus on the road . . . for at least as long as humans are allowed to drive.
The 50 Best Manly Movie Quotes

As you probably already know by now, bidding on Yu Darvish ended just recently after the star right-hander was posted by the Nippon Ham Fighters a few days ago. I mention this because earlier today on Twitter I made a few statements about Yu Darvish and Asian players that generated some interesting discussion and I wanted to clarify my point.
All this started after reading article after article that lazily compared Yu Darvish with Daisuke Matsuzaka and Kei Igawa. I simply questioned whether any other player was subject to these generalizations based on his nationality, ethnicity, and race or whether any other players are lumped in with other busts and generalized to say that they all possess similar qualities because of their personal backgrounds.
Through the course of the discussion, certain people managed to transform my desire to not lazily lump all Asian players into the same pool as being equal to saying that people should not criticize Asian players, which simply isn't the case.
It's the way people are criticizing Asian players that has me cringing.
I recognize that there are a ton of question marks that go into signing players from the region, question marks that simply don't apply to American players. However, there are question marks for just about every other player on the market as well, it's just that those players are analyzed as individuals and by their potential value, whereas it seems to be almost a requirement to compare prospective Asian players with current or past Asian players as if they are all the same.
It's probably nothing to other people, but it's honestly just awkward for me to read.
Jon Paul Morosi – Fox Sports – 12/12
Robert Whiting, an author and expert on Japanese baseball, said he believes the Rangers and Yankees will submit posting bids on Darvish. But Whiting added: "If he signs with Texas, playing in that small park will not help him … I am afraid if Darvish goes to a hitter's park, his game may suffer. Chan Ho Park was an ace at Dodger Stadium, not so good in Texas."
I respect Robert Whiting for the work he has done on Japanese baseball, and I have enjoyed the books he has written, but this is just absurd.
What does Chan Ho Park having success with the Dodgers but not the Rangers have anything to do with Darvish? They are completely different and unrelated circumstances. The only thing relating them at all is the fact that they are both Asian, which is the only reason Park is even mentioned.
The park effects factor will have an affect how Darvish performs, but it will do so like it would for any other pitcher. That's why we have statistics that normalize for things like league, park, and competition.
Relevant analysis would revolve around how Darvish's stuff fits in different parks. What is his fly ball percentage? How many bats does he miss? Will the switch lead to a change in distribution? Which parks do those skills fit in?
But no, none of that is addressed in any article on Darvish that I see in the mainstream media, it's all simply glossed over in favor of lazily throwing together anecdotal connection after anecdotal connection between pitchers who both happen to be Asian.
How is this acceptable? Ugh.
Tom Verducci – Sports Illustrated – 11/15
Said Rangers assistant GM Thad Levine, "The anecdotal assessment suggests starting pitchers have a two-year window of success followed by a rapid decline, followed thereafter by disappearance. Even a lot of the relievers have had success quickly, reaching a hot peak followed by a rapid decline."
Says it all.
When the Yankees signed Kei Igawa after the 2006 season, for instance, they relied on very few first-hand evaluations. Now the Yankees invest more time and resources in making sure they get multiple looks at NPB players.
Exactly. The Yankees didn't do their due diligence on Igawa because they made a reactionary bid in response to losing out on Matsuzaka and since Darvish is Asian like they are, that's Darvish's fault.
Wait, what?
David Waldstein – The New York Times – 12/13
After the uneven results of Matsuzaka, Igawa and others, the bidding for Darvish is expected to be more restrained, perhaps $30 million to $50 million, and recently some people in baseball have projected that figure below $30 million.
Yes, we get it.
See above.
Jeff Passan – Yahoo! Sports – 12/8
Oh, and there's the whole matter of pitching, the one question that will take years to answer. While the sample size remains tiny, the Japanese ace in the major leagues has had a short window of success. Hideo Nomo: two years. Matsuzaka: two years. Perhaps Hiroki Kuroda is breaking that trend, what with four consecutive solid seasons, but the skepticism remains.
See: Verducci, Tom
Tom Verducci – Sports Illustrated – 11/15
"You have some great examples of players who came here and starred," said Dodgers GM Ned Colletti, "and some who came here and were average at best and some who were below average. Like it is with any prospect, it's always something you have to look at on a case-by-case basis. One thing we do know is that the grind of our schedule is different, therefore there are different dynamics for a position player and for a pitcher."
"Looking at players on a case-by-case basis and treating each Asian player that comes over as an individual? No, no, no, that just won't do. It doesn't fit my narrative."
You know your argument is completely fucked when Ned Colletti is the voice of reason, right?
Perhaps the saddest part is that the sample above is just taken from the top results on Google and what I found on MLB Trade Rumors. Basically, stuff like this is in almost every article about Darvish, so it wasn't hard to find these examples at all.
So what's the point?
The point is that there should absolutely be questions asked about Yu Darvish, but those questions should be asked about Yu Darvish the pitcher, not about Yu Darvish the Japanese pitcher or Yu Darvish the Asian pitcher, and certainly not about how Daisuke Matsuzaka and Kei Igawa relate to him.
Intellectually lazy leaps in logic always bother me, but I felt the need to point this out because it seems nobody ever has a problem when people do it in regards to Asian players (like this). Let's be honest, similar comparisons would never be made so overtly and so shamelessly if we were talking about Black or Latino players because people would lose their jobs over it.
Originally, I was planning on writing an article about how Japanese players who come over through the posting system are generally overvalued because it's akin to getting a prospect except they aren't team controlled. Of course, the difference between my planned analysis and what is currently happening on the journalism landscape is that I would have actually done my homework and looked at each case as individual results instead of lumping them all into one category and making wide ranging generalizations.
By far the most common comparison is between Yu Darvish and Daisuke Matsuzaka, which is appropriate for the point I'm trying to make because even a cursory comparison of the two would reveal totally different pitchers, personalities, and backgrounds.
Ample reason to see them and analyze them as individuals.
But hey, why do research when you can just be lazy, right?

Huntington High sweeps Midland
HUNTINGTON — It was a sweep for Huntington High on Highlander Hill Tuesday night, as the girls and boys soccer teams both took wins over Cabell Midland.
It was Senior Night for the boys game, and Austin Preece, Max Simpson, Riley Imlay, Andrew Shaghnessy and Daichi Usagida of the Highlanders were honored before the 8 p.m. kickoff.
One minute and one second into the game, Simpson had a goal, and it would hold up for a 1-0 win over the Knights.
The goal came on a free kick from Constantine Svingos from about 20 yards away from the net. Svingos whipped the ball into the box, where Simpson was able to get his head on it to put it past Cabell Midland keeper Blake Beneke.
"We had an actual student section out here, and the blood was just pumping," Simpson said. "I got a huge adrenaline rush off of that goal."
The Knights didn't fold. Cabell Midland came hard at the Highlanders, and even seemed to have Huntington High, usually the more aggressive team, on the back foot a bit in the second half.
"We saw some things that we thought we could exploit and so we made some adjustments," Cabell Midland coach Tyler Ellis said. "This was a game where you had two very good teams just going at it."
The Knights seemed destined to draw even when Huntington High keeper Chad Dye came off his line and ended up tripped a Cabell Midland player who was in on goal in the 60th minute.
A penalty kick was awarded, and the ball was placed on the penalty spot at the feet of Cabell Midland's leading scorer, Carter Sutton.
The senior put the shot well over the goal, and buried his face in his hands after the miss.
"I'm not going to run over and grab his jersey and shout at him," Ellis said after the match. "It's tough, he knows he messed up. You just have to move on."
Huntington High coach Sammy Boateng said he was proud of the Highlanders' effort against a determined opponent.
"We had some nice things going on out there, and had some great chances, we just didn't finish some of them," he said. "But their heart and soul was in the game. Their effort showed that."
Simpson said of his fellow seniors that there is "no one I'd rather play beside."
Huntington High was in a white-knuckle situation late, as Cabell Midland poured on the attack, forcing the normally fast-paced Highlanders to try and kill some clock in the Knights' defensive half, and just blast clear anything that got near the goal.
Cabell Midland sent one last shot away as the clock ran out, though it was from near midfield and went well high and wide of the goal.
The girls' game was not nearly as tense and Huntington High emerged with a 4-1 win.
Cabell Midland grabbed the lead in the eighth minute, on a counter attack as Highlanders keeper Ericka Budd ran out of the goal to try to track down a loose ball. Budd went to the ground and collided with another player, leaving the ball on the foot of Knights freshman Cintry Johnson, who casually took a couple dribbles before sending the ball into an empty net.
The quick deficit seemed to wake the Highlanders up, and Huntington High evened the score in the ninth minute as Hannah Minihan wheeled on a ball from near the top of the penalty box and sent a high shot left to right past Cabell Midland keeper Mackensie Dillon.
From that moment on, Cabell Midland had a difficult time generating pressure, while the Highlanders seemed to continue to build momentum and develop crisper play as the game wore on.
"We've lost starters throughout the season because of injuries, and this is the first game we've had some people back healthy for a while," said Huntington High coach Paul Farrell. "What you saw tonight were two sophomores in middle defense start playing together, two center midfielders who are sophomores start playing together, and our seniors rotating up top, and they played incredible tonight.
"Having some experience on the ball, some confidence on the ball really paid off tonight. It's a credit to (seniors) Allie Hidlebrand and Hannah Woods and Hannah Minihan, because they gave us a threat up front that we haven't had all year."
Hildebrand put the Highlanders in the lead with just more than 3 minutes to go before the half. Woods sent a ball through and Hildebrand got behind the defense, putting her one-on-one with the keeper. Hildebrand slipped the ball to the left of Dillon, who couldn't catch up with the shot.
In the 67th minute, sophomore Jensyn Leonhart slipped free down the left side of the pitch for Huntington High, and sent in a cross that went off a Cabell Midland defender, then off Dillon and into the net for an own goal.
Junior Megan McCallister capped the game for Huntington High, putting a shot away with about one minute left in the contest.
"Today we kind of opened up a bit offensively, because we finally had the personnel to do it," Farrell said.
