Landing a job interview is always cause for celebration, but once the party's over, job seekers need to get down to business: preparing for that meeting. And one key task is figuring out what salary you deserve.
That's where salary-comparison websites come in. Some of the biggest are Salary.com, Glassdoor.com, PayScale.com and Indeed.com (Indeed's Salary Search tool is at Indeed.com/salary).
These sites are useful to help you understand what someone with your job type, in the same city and with your experience should expect to get paid. But it's important to understand these sites' limitations, and to be wary about accepting or rejecting a job based on one or two salary estimates.
Cellphone flubs could cost your job
By 2016, some technology experts predict there will be more mobile internet devices on the planet than people. That connectivity has its advantages, but can also be abused. Small-business expert Susan Solovic has tips for cellphone etiquette that are good for business.
These types of websites work differently—some gather employer surveys, others collect data from workers—but none of the methodologies will provide a perfectly accurate salary estimate for any one job seeker.
"I wouldn't bet the bank on just one of the sites," said Susan Joyce, publisher and editor of Job-Hunt.org and WorkCoachCafe.com, in Marlborough, Mass.
"I would look at two or three and I would compare the data. And of course it's always better if you can connect to somebody who works for the target employer and get a general idea" from that person, she said.
How they work
Salary sites gather their data in various ways. For example, Salary.com buys data from companies that survey employers about their current compensation levels for specific jobs. For users, the benefit is you know the salary information is coming from the horse's mouth.
The downside is some of the data might be slightly dated. The major surveys aren't conducted every month, though Salary.com said that, in addition to survey data, it monitors financial information—the pace of inflation, the strength of the overall economy, etc.—and applies it and other factors to their salary-expectation data.
"The database is constantly updated with either market data, new job information, new job titles or new salary information," said Abby Euler, general manager with Salary.com, based in Waltham, Mass. The site includes data on more than 5,000 companies, she said.
In addition to its free salary information, Salary.com offers a "personal salary report"—prices range from about $30 to $80, depending on your current salary level. The report details how to best negotiate salary, including how to counter specific points often raised by employers, and what are your negotiation strengths and weaknesses based, in part, on how your experience compares to a typical person in that type of job.
PayScale.com and Glassdoor.com collect data from people who come to their websites and fill out information about their current or most recent job. In exchange, those users get a free salary report that helps them prepare to ask for a raise or negotiate a salary.
Some 40 million people have posted their salary profiles to PayScale.com. You fill out a survey describing your most-recent salary and job description, and in return get your report, which "provides a distribution of [salaries for] other people like you and where you fall in that distribution," said Katie Bardaro, a lead economist with PayScale, based in Seattle.
"You can figure out if you're where the market prices you, or under or above what's typical in the market," she said.
The site has data on over 14,000 job titles. Whether you call yourself a computer programmer or a software developer, Bardaro said, "We are allowing people to choose a job that's unique to them but, in the background, we know those are all software developers. We know we can group them together when providing their report to them."

|Click it or Ticket going strong
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Tuesday, 22 May 2007 04:19
The annual Click It or Ticket campaign is still going strong in the High Country.The campaign began yesterday and lasts through June 3. Click It or Ticket started in 1993 in hopes of increasing seat belt and child safety use rates. Statewide, the seat belt usage rate is at 88.5 percent. The goal for 2007 is to push seat belt usage to 90 percent. To do that, law enforcement officers, like those in Caldwell County, are conducting check points where few warnings will be given- mostly citations. Check points will also be conducted throughout this week in Watauga County, according to Captain Kelly Redmon. Most law enforcement agencies in North Carolina participate in the campaign, so now's a good time to start wearing your seatbelt.

Sakine Cansiz
Thousnands of people follow the coffin of late Kurdish activist... News PhotoActivist,Coffin,Conflict,Dead,Following,French Culture,Funeral,Hometown,Horizontal,Kurdish,People,Protest,Sakine CansizPhotographer BULENT KILICCollection: AFP 2013 AFPThousnands of people follow the coffin of late Kurdish activist Sakine Cansiz, shot dead in the French capital, during the funeral on January 18, 2013 in Tunceli, her hometown in the Kurdish majority southeast of Turkey. People gathered inTunceli, to pay a final tribute to Sakine Cansiz who was assassinated in Paris last week. The growing crowd of participants, men and women adorned in white scarves, a symbol of peace, marched in a funeral many in Turkey feared would turn into a violent protest. The three women, one of them Sakine Cansiz, a co-founder of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), were found fatally shot, at least three times in their heads, at a Kurdish centre in Paris last week. French police were hunting the unknown assailants. AFP PHOTO/BULENT KILIC (Photo credit should read BULENT KILIC/AFP/Getty Images)

Someone is out there trying to make our wireless access a lot easier without charging us an arm and a leg for the privilege (or over-complicating the system.) The WiFi Alliance just announced hardware testing of its WiFi-CERTIFIED Passpoint program. The program is designed to allow cell phones like the iPhone 4S , Samsung Galaxy S3, HTC One X and the Motoluxe and tablets such as the iPad3, Samsung Tab, HTC Jetstream, HTC Flyer and the Motorola Xoom to automatically find and connect to compatible networks in the area.
The WiFi Alliance's primary intention is to certify hotspots. The specification it's using is the result of cooperation between service providers and equipment manufacturers, with the aim of creating an industry-wide solution for shared WiFi access and roaming agreements.
Hardware manufactures like Cisco, Intel, MediaTek and Qualcomm have already received Passpoint certification. Once the hardware testing is complete, it will be up to the service providers to show a little spirit of cooperation.

Ok, my 9 year old daughter, who was an atheist, has decided she wants to be a Pastafarian. I admit that she was very unruly, but after accepting His Noodly Goodness in her life, she has since then changed for the better, pesto be upon her!
When she started to ask me questions about our new found faith, I was fixing to explain what happens to Pastafarians after they die, but had to hold myself back because I don't know much about the Pastafarian paradise. I mean, if you die when you are a kid, do you still get beer and STD-free strippers? Aren't kids too young for that? So is there a different paradise for children?
Also, who is our nemesis? I mean, god had the devil. The spaghetti monster has who? I'd like to know who to watch out for.
I hope this is the right place to ask these questions. I apologize if it isn't.

I saw the post after a posting my site in another board. I am gonna stick around for a while though.
I saw the post after a posting my site in another board. I am gonna stick around for a while though.
I will post a link of my site soon enough. It is not MY site or a site about me. It's a blog site where I post my reviews for MMORPGs so I think it's relevant here too. I'm currently adding more games to review. I'll probably post it here once I have at least 5 games on the list.
Please support it when it comes.
I agree. People posting site urls and leaving sucks. I mean, if you're here for promoting something, at least do it with effort. :3>
IT has to be admitted I join sites like this to promote a new game a friend and I have developed. We get lots of views but no bites, and I wonder why. However if I see anything interesting on the forums I do browse and post if that is relevant. But sites like this are a godsend for games wanting to test things out with a few players.
I'm very thankful that places like this one exist, otherwise as new devs we really don't know where to start
This post is going to be very hard for me to write, because I generally avoid conflict and am not personally very fond of ranting. But still. I will try not to be offensive because offense is not my intention, but I do contain a certain amount of rage and grief, so something might come out that is too extreme. I apologize in advance.
In short, you have a site that draws its existence almost entirely on the work of others. You list things that other people have created. You earn money by letting people advertise themselves, on your site. Perhaps you have another scheme of income that is not apparent, but this can be deduced on a glance. You have a forum, on that forum, you have a group called 'Shameless Promotion' and the greeting thread in that forum you beg people not to shamelessly self promote themselves? So what exactly do you expect? If I pay you to promote myself on the front page, that won't be shameless, for some reason?
Actually I am not surprised. Most of the pages like yours have a forum like that and some kind of declaration like that posted on the head of somesuch forum. In a system where nothing may be achieved without self promotion, the free kind of self promotion is declared 'shameless'. We, the developers of games, are supposed to 'contribute' into your already vast pool of replies, commentaries and forum posts which you have millions of, in order to 'gain ourselves the right to promote something we created with our own blood, sweat and tears'. Well, thanks a lot for that. What do you think is easier, collect a 1000 of things that something else created and create a list of them, or actually *create* those things? What would you collect if all the people creating those things one day said 'I have enough of this s**t and I'm never gonna create another thing for you ever?'
I make games because some crazy nerve in my brain is pretty much forcing me into doing so. It's an impulse. I have to create to feel normal. This is my personal problem of course, but it's a proven fact that many people actually enjoy the things that I create. Of course since I don't make mainstream stuff, I make something I feel that has to be made, I don't get that much attention. Actually, the attention that I get is below the critical mass required for a creation to spread, sadly. My only choice, to be blunt, is basically to walk around all the billions of people living in this world, door to door, simply to find the people that like what I do. People still enjoy what I create, which I think grants me the 'licence' to try creating more, there's just not enough of them for the process to catalyze and start running on its own. Does that mean that what I do and try to do in order to spread my work, is somehow shameless?
I have long time ago discovered that I cannot sustain myself on making games. I create games that appeal to a very limited public, and though I could have earned enough for a living even if each person that ever played a game of mine gave me a dollar for that, the system and the economy in which we live in does not allow me that. Which is why I make and give away my games for free. I can barely scrape enough resources to make a living month to month, and every moment I can waste is spent on creation of what I love, and what many other people appear to like. So for me not to be shameless in this situation I have to what? Promote myself on your forum first, prove that I am 'worthy' by wasting time on chat that could better be spent on making another game? Because I am a lowly parasite, having made a game for free and now 'leeching on your vast popularity' selling myself like some kind of prostitute to actually make it possible for people to experience that game? What kind of attitude is that? Oh, but if I coughed up some dollars for actual promotion that would make me shameless?
Come on. What's shame got to do with all this rotten mess anyway?
I believe when this thread was made 7 years ago, you could ask to have your site listed on OnRPG.
Now I believe it costs a few hundred dollars to have your site listed, so this thread is obsolete. I don't mind people posting their game sites. But if you are going to link to a youtube channel or a personal blog, then it's shameless promotion.
How do I turn off signatures while reading?
Can this thread be use to promote guild recruiting of a free 2 play game? o:

|Where are they now? » Home
Wednesday, October 13, 2010George McIntosh was a tennis and basketball player at Lipscomb and later served as the tennis coach. He is the president of the Jim Wood Golden Bison Club, part of the National Bison Club, that meets each month in the Hall of Fame room at Allen Arena. He spent some time last week to talk about his Lipscomb experiences with lipscombsports.com.
What sport(s) did you play at Lipscomb? What years? Who were your coaches?
"I played tennis from 1946-49 for `Fessor' Gene Boyce. I played basketball from 1943-44 and then from 1946-49 for `Fessor' Gene Boyce and Herman Waddell."
What is your fondest athletic memory at Lipscomb?
"There are actually two. I was in the Tennessee Collegiate Tennis Tournament in 1949 at the University of Tennessee in 1949 playing against players from the University of Tennessee, Vandy, MTSU, Memphis and Tennessee Tech and a group of schools from East Tennessee. I won the tournament.
"Looking back it was an honor to have played with Jennings Davis, Frank Downing, Harry Moneypenny and John Henderson.
"The other memory was being voted the Most Valuable Basketball Player in 1948. I really enjoyed playing basketball more than I did playing tennis."
Who had the biggest influence on you during your athletic career at Lipscomb? How?
"There was no one like Gene Boyce. No matter what the game he was coaching or playing he had a solid character and a love for sports.
"The way he coached he developed his players for both sports and for life. I think he was one of the most influential persons at Lipscomb in the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and 1970s."
What is your fondest non-athletic memory from your time at Lipscomb?
"From 1946-48 I lived with my wife on the Lipscomb campus. I was the only basketball player who was married.
"We lived in an army barracks that had been moved to campus. There were 20 units. We lived with 19 preachers. The way they were divided the walls were very thin. The floors were cement and we had oil heaters for warmth."
What is the most valuable thing you gained or learned from your time at Lipscomb?
"To set goals that would allow me to be a better ball player and later a better husband, father and Christian.
"The Christian influence has stayed with me all of my life. I started attending Lipscomb in the sixth grade and continued through college except for my years in the army."
Who was your favorite professor? Why?
"It has to be Axel Swang. He was working towards his accounting degree so he had a lot of patience with me. He was a great sports fan. He was an outstanding husband, father and grandfather. And he was an excellent teacher."
Where do you live?
"My home is in Nashville in the Green Hills area.
Who is your employer? What is your occupation? What does your position entail?
"I retired from National Life and Accident Insurance Company and American General Life and Accident in 1991 after 42 years. I was the senior vice-president of administration after American General bought out National Life.
"From 1993-99 I coached the men's and women's college tennis teams at Lipscomb. That brought me much fun and satisfaction."
Tell us about your family.
"I was married to Marty McIntosh for 54 years. We had two children, Linda and John who attended Lipscomb High School. They both had two children. Three of the four attended college at Lipscomb.
"Marty passed away in 2001. In Sept. 2002 I married Sue McMahan, a graduate of Lipscomb University. Later she taught 20 years in the Lipscomb middle school. She also has two children, Charles and Janet who both graduated from Lipscomb University."

The Northern New York Community Foundation board of directors has set aside an additional $20,000 for scholarships for St. Lawrence County students.
Students in the county now may compete for $50,000 worth of scholarships, which can range from $500 to $2,000. Last year, a total of $30,000 in scholarships was awarded to St. Lawrence County students.
We awarded 15 one-year scholarships to seniors last year, as well as seven merit awards, and would like to see the one-year scholarships increase to approximately 25 this year, said April L. Fallon, coordinator of partnerships.
According to a Community Foundation news release, students in the following St. Lawrence County school districts are eligible to apply: Canton, Colton-Pierrepont, Edwards-Knox, Gouverneur, Hammond, Harrisville, Hermon-DeKalb, Heuvelton, Lisbon, Madrid-Waddington, Massena, Morristown, Norwood-Norfolk, Ogdensburg, Parishville-Hopkinton, Potsdam and St. Lawrence Central. Students may be awarded up to $2,000 for one year, based on unmet financial need as determined by the students college. Students who have no unmet financial need may receive a one-time merit award of $500.
All of those scholarships come from money the Community Foundation sets aside for scholarships, not funds from those specific schools. Ms. Fallon said the board approved about $570,000 to be spent on scholarships this year. Last year, the agency awarded $740,662 in scholarships to 352 students, but that number included scholarships approved by private committees that have funds managed by the foundation.
Since 1980, the foundation has awarded more than $11 million in scholarships.
Historically, money to the foundation has come from sources in Jefferson and Lewis counties, so scholarships in those two counties, which are based on unmet financial need, could total $12,000 over four years. With added outreach in St. Lawrence County, Ms. Fallon said, the foundation hopes to expand partnerships so much that students someday will be able to receive the same-size scholarship as their neighboring peers.
Scholarship applications are to be completed and returned to the foundation, or postmarked, by April 1. Applications and other information are available on the foundation website, www.nnycf.org.

By COLLIN MCRANNSun Advocate reporter
The month of October has been designated as Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Because there is no question that domestic violence is a serious problem, local groups volunteer to offer support and assistance.
22 deaths were the result of domestic violence in the state of Utah last year. Some of the murders were shockingly brutal. In Salt Lake City, one woman was murdered in front of her two young children. Incidents such as this could often be avoided through better awareness and education.
"Isolation is a big part of domestic violence. Victims are often isolated from friends and family and have no one to turn to, which allows the relationship to continue," said Melissa Herrera, supervisor and social worker at the domestic violence shelter in Price. One of the shelter's goals is to let people know that help is out there and that there are many avenues of support available.
Some of the shelter's awareness projects include a 5K run and one mile walk on Oct. 17. These events begin at 7 a.m. at Washington Park, and will honor survivors and those who lost their lives over the past year. Participation is free to anyone who is interested. .While the state- run shelter has been in operation for more than 30 years, it is always expanding and trying to better fit the community.
"The rural population makes it difficult because everyone knows each other and [domestic violence} is not something that people like to talk about," said Ms. Herrera. "However all of our staff is confidential."
The shelter can house 14 residents. Its goal is to let victims live as normal a life as possible given their situation. It may be surprising to some that the shelter also serves men. Although the majority of victims are women, about 10 to 15 percent are men.
Last year, the shelter served about 60 victims and 71 children.
In all, the shelter is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and operates a crisis phone line at 1 (435)- 6589.

This last weekend at the Capcom Summer Jam 2012, Kotaku East was able to get fifteen minutes with this samurai-filled collection—and the unfortunate news is, while it isn't terrible, it is a bit lackluster. Like most PS2 remaster titles seen this generation, nothing has changed gameplay-wise between the HD remaster and its original version; the changes are all visual.
At first glance, the HD looks very pretty: The frame rate is constant and the models are detailed and sharp. However, then you start to notice the problems that come from BASARA being a last-generation Dynasty Warriors clone. The draw distance is still terrible, with the scenery looking plain, dull, and muddy. The low amount of entities allowed on screen makes for a constant pop-in, pop-out of enemies mid-battle. Moreover, in the numerous in-game cutscenes, the characters' faces are completely static and have no lip movement nor change of expression. In the days of muddy PS2 SD, that might have been somewhat hidden; but in glorious HD, it stands out like a sore thumb.
So as far as HD remasters go, the Sengoku BASARA HD Collection is a competent one. The gameplay remains the same as always and the first three BASARA games have never looked better. Sadly though, as much as the HD coat of paint makes these games look their best, it serves to highlight the most dated aspects of the games as well.
The Sengoku BASARA HD Collection will be released in Japan on August 30, 2012 for the PlayStation 3. There is currently no word on an international release.

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Congress may have stepped back from the cliff, but the Maine Legislature still faces uncertainty over federal budget cuts.
In the deal worked out over the past two days, Congress put off decisions on federal spending cuts for another two months. That timing may not help the Legislature. The Appropriations Committee us scheduled to begin budget discussion this week, and will need to pass a new, two-year state budget by June.
Leaders in both parties say many state programs get significant federal funding,. The Department of Health and Human Services, for example, is budgeted to received $1.9 billion in federal funds this year. Legislators say it will be very difficult to plan and pass budget if they don't know how much will be cut from federal programs. The Legislature has less than six months to complete a new budget.
Legislators say that if Congress drags out budget-cutting discussions, it will make the state budget process even more difficult than it is now.
Sen. Roger Katz (R-Augusta) says if the federal debate takes too long, the Legislature may have to pass a budget in June, then come back later in the year and make whatever changes are required. Senate President Justin Alfond (D-Portland) says the federal process does create a lot of uncertainty fore the Legislature, but he is trying to remain optimistic that Congress will take action in time.

Synthetic Multi-Viscosity Hydraulic Oil - ISO 68
All-Season, Anti-Varnish, Anti-Wear
AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Viscosity Hydraulic Oil's blend of high-viscosity-index base oils and performance additives provides all-season protection and reliable operation in all types of hydraulic systems.
Package sizes include:
Data Sheet
AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Viscosity Hydraulic Oil's blend of high-viscosity-index
base oils and performance additives provides all-season protection
and reliable operation in all types of hydraulic systems. Its proven
wear resistance and varnish-control deliver maximum hydraulic system
performance and life. Synthetic Multi-Viscosity Hydraulic Oil is additionally
tailored to promote energy efficiency and foam suppression.
All-Season Performance
Multi-Viscosity Hydraulic Oil is designed for all-season use. Each viscosity covers a
broad operating temperature range, helping eliminate seasonal oil changes. Its low
pour point ensures the oil flows more readily in cold temperatures than petroleum
oils. Bearings and other components receive almost immediate lubrication at start up,
reducing long-term wear and instances of pressure spikes and erratic operation as
a result of poor fluidity. At high operating temperatures, Multi-Viscosity Hydraulic Oil
resists thermal breakdown and maintains its protective viscosity, allowing formation of
a strong lubricating film.
Varnish-Control Technology
Increased heat can cause varnish to form on metal surfaces, including valves, pumps
and bearings. Its soft, sticky composition ultimately hardens into a harmful veneer that
can reduce fluid flow, plug filters, stick valves and increase friction. Synthetic Multi-Viscosity
Hydraulic Oil is fortified with anti-varnish additives that chemically react with the
building blocks of varnish, inhibiting its formation. It helps hydraulic systems remain
clean and long-lasting.
Anti-Wear Chemistry
Synthetic Multi-Viscosity Hydraulic Oil features a shear-stable
formulation fortified with the latest zinc-type anti-wear additives.
It meets the stringent viscosity retention requirements of Parker
Hannifin (Denison) HF-0 and demonstrates excellent anti-wear
performance and compatibility with yellow metals in standardized
laboratory and pump manufacturer tests (see below). Synthetic
Multi-Viscosity Hydraulic Oil demonstrates excellent protection for
pumps, motors, valves and other components against wear.
The correct viscosity grade of AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Viscosity
Hydraulic Oil is recommended for high- and low-pressure
gear, vane and piston stationary and mobile hydraulic systems,
including those with bronze metallurgy. It is recommended for
all types of applications requiring the following industry and
equipment specifications:
This product is not expected to cause health concerns when used for the intended
application and according to the recommendations in the Material
Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). USA and Canada (M)SDS are available upon request at 715-392-7101 or on the AMSOIL Website. Keep Out of Reach of Children. Don't pollute.

Sending requests
When your application sends an API request to the BlackBerry® Administration API, you must specify data objects, or their IDs, as parameters for some of the API methods. To specify the data objects or their IDs, you must first retrieve the data objects in a separate request. For example, to use the deleteUser() method, you specify the user ID of the user object you wish to delete as a parameter. To retrieve the data object that contains the user's data, you can send a request using the findUser() method.
In Microsoft .NET languages, you can specify a single data object that contains all of the data objects as a parameter. In Java®, you can specify data objects as separate parameters.
Validating the SSL certificate in your application
When you open a connection to a BlackBerry® Administration API web service, you should validate the SSL certificate to make sure you have a secure connection. Most development frameworks provide SSL packages to help you retrieve and validate SSL certificates. It is important to know if your BlackBerry Administration Service uses a self-signed certificate or a certificate-authority signed certificate in order to validate the certificate accordingly.
Creating a data object instance
User user = new User();
UserSearchCriteriaServiceAttribute attributes = new BASUserSearchCriteriaServiceAttributesType();
Polymorphic data objects are required because the BlackBerry Enterprise Server is divided into components that provide different functionalities. Each component manages different types of data and features, and data type extensions are only available if the component that manages the type extension is installed on your organization's BlackBerry Enterprise Server. For example, the BlackBerry Administration Service manages users' display names. You can always search for user accounts based on users' display names because the BlackBerry Administration Service component is installed on all the BlackBerry Enterprise Server environments. However, you can only search for user accounts based on the users' email addresses if you have a BlackBerry Messaging Agent component installed on your BlackBerry Enterprise Server. If you do not have a BlackBerry Messaging Agent component installed, the type extension used to search based on email addresses does not appear in your WSDL definition.
Specifying authentication credentials
Your application can encode requests so that each request automatically adds authentication credentials to the SOAP header. To encode the authentication credentials, you can use the utilws web service to encode the authentication credentials automatically or you can specify the authentication credentials manually.
<usernameLength>,<domainLength>,<authenticatorTypeLength>,<authenticatorIDLength>,<credentialTypeLength>,<organizationIDLength>;<username><domain><authenticatorType><authenticatorID><credentialType><organizationID>.After the string is encoded, you can use the encoded credentials and your password to access all protected web services.
For more information about encoding credentials, and for code samples, see the API reference for the BlackBerry® Administration API.

In December 2012, Emirates renewed its sponsorship deal with Arsenal, extending the airline's relationship with the English Premier League club, which dates back to 2004. The new £150 million deal grants Emirates a five-year extension to its shirt partnership with the club until the end of the 2018–2019 season. As well as being one of the biggest deals in the history of the game, the agreement extends and deepens one of the strongest and most recognizable partnerships in world sport.
In addition to shirt sponsorship, Emirates is proud to hold the naming rights to Arsenal's home ground, Emirates Stadium, a state-of-the-art 60,000-seat arena in North London. As well as hosting Arsenal's home games, Emirates Stadium has hosted six international matches and a number of music concerts in recent years. As part of the renewed sponsorship deal, Arsenal's home will continue to be known as Emirates Stadium until 2028.
Now in its seventh season, Emirates Stadium has proven to be a very good investment for Emirates, working globally across a network linking over 140 destinations in six continents. People around the world are truly proud to be associated with such an incredible project.
As three-time winners of the English Premier League and regulars in the UEFA Champions League, Arsenal is one of the best-supported clubs in the world, allowing Emirates to reach an international audience. Research shows that Arsenal has a phenomenal global fan base of around 27 million people, and Emirates is confident that it has found a true world leader to partner with on the international stage.
Emirates' impressive soccer sponsorship portfolio includes a number of high-profile teams and events, including Asian Football Confederation, AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain, Hamburger SV, Real Madrid, Olympiacos FC, Arsenal Soccer Schools Dubai, The Emirates Cup, and Zain Saudi Professional League.

Refusing to follow in the footsteps of their colleagues in the House of Representatives, the Senate will reportedly decline to take up debate on the controversial Cyber Information Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA).
A story in U.S. News reports that a "representative of the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation" said that CISPA is unlikely to make its way to the Senate floor for consideration.
Within its many provisions, CISPA contains direct assaults on the "right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures" as guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment.
CISPA's threat to our most fundamental rights is real and irreversible if passed by the Senate and signed by the president (the president has repeatedly insisted that he would veto the bill, however).
For example, CISPA would obliterate (and invalidate) all Internet privacy laws presently in force. Companies large and small would be permitted to turn over to the federal government users' e-mails, usernames, passwords, browsing history, and most other forms of electronically stored information.
That's not all. According to information distributed by CISPA's two largest opponents — the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) — the data the government is targeting with CISPA includes medical records, credit reports, and most other "personally identifiable information" that might be caught in a cybersecurity net.
Who would be the most likely recipient of this cache of personal digital profiles? The National Security Agency (NSA). Agents of the this domestic surveillance mammoth would need no warrant before approaching Internet companies with requests for their customers' otherwise private information.
Although proponents of the bill point out that Internet companies could redact their customers' most private information, the text of CISPA contains no provision for such protection of privacy.

A Brunswick-based sportswear manufacturer has joined an elite list of companies recognized for their commitment to the environment. Company founder Jeremy Litchfield is the man behind Atayne, which makes sporting apparel from recycled materials. The 6-foot 4-inch endurance athlete describes himself as Atayne's chief pace-setter. Tom Porter has more.
A Brunswick-based sportswear manufacturer has joined an elite list of companies recognized for their commitment to the environment. Company founder Jeremy Litchfield (left) is the man behind Atayne, which makes sporting apparel from recycled materials. The 6-foot 4-inch endurance athlete describes himself as Atayne's chief pace-setter. Tom Porter has more.
"Yeah, when you start your own company you get to make up your own title, and CEO, president, didn't suit me as much, so I went with chief pace-setter," Litchfield says with a laugh.
Six years ago, Litchfield says he underwent a 'eureka' moment which changed the course of his life.
"I was out for a run, and I was living in Virginia at the time. It was a very hot and humid day and I went out for a run in this new performance top, and it covered me in red dye," he says. "I was a little uneasy about the whole situation, what sort of chemicals are being absorbed in my body, and just started to do research and realized that the way all this apparel is made, and specifically performance apparel, and what was a passion of mine was running, was very destructive to the environment and has a lot of harmful chemicals in it for people."
And so Litchfield - who majored in biology at Bowdoin College- began doing some research. Within a couple of days he had quit his job and decided he would start his own company making running and cycling apparel. His aim - to make sportswear that performs as well, if not better, than other products on the market..
"But was also about taking care of the environemnt, and preserving the places where active people love to play, and also making sure that what people are putting on their body isn't harming them," he says.
After a year or so of more research, he hit on the idea of making fabric from recycled plastic. It's an expensive and a complicated process, in which used plastic bottles are made into thin, plastic fibers and then spun into fabric. The material is designed to pull sweat away from the body and helps athletes regulate their body temperatures.
Litchfield says other fabrics, like cotton, absorb sweat making the athlete get hotter. But Atayne products do come with a slightly higher price tag. The long-sleeved, quarter-zip running top Litchfield is wearing costs around $65.
But the wearer can console him or herself with this fact: "A shirt this size will probably be - about 12 plastic bottles went into making this shirt, and when you look at that over the larger scale of things, it adds up," he says.
Litchfield says last year his company sold about 30,000 items. This year, that numbers is expected to double. And that means a lot of plastic being kept out of the landfill. "It also takes about 70 percent less energy to make this fabric than a conventional fabric, so that's another number we pay attention to," he says.
The company also gives more than 10 percent of profits to charitable organizations. Atayne's commitment to serving the environment, as well as its customers and the community, has been noticed.
"I'm really impressed with their ability to address a problem they saw in their real life and then use business to take care of it," says Katie Kerr. Kerr is with B Lab, a high profile non-profit based in Pennsylvania, which rates companies not just on their profitability, but also on factors like environmental impact and social responbility.
There are about 750 companies rated as so-called B Corporations across the globe. Atayne has been one since 2009.
Last month it was announced that Atayne had made B-Lab's World's Best list, which means it's in the top 10 percent. Having only about 10 employees - although Litchfield expects that number to quadruple in the next three or four years - it's in the micro-entreprises category.
Katie Kerr says it's Atayne's ability to grow as a company while not purely focusing on the financial bottom line that makes them special. "And I think it really proves that not only is it possible to do business in a better way and redefine what success is, but it also makes for a stronger company."
"We're all about making profit, so we're not a non-profit, but also we measure ourselves by the impact that we're having on communities and the environment," Litchfield says.
Litchfield says companies like Atayne operate what is known as a triple bottom line, or the "three Ps" - which stands for planet, people, and last but not least, profit.

MASSENA - The National Kidney Foundation of Northeast New York and the Massena Memorial Hospital will be holding a free Kidney Screening from 9 a.m. to noon Sunday at Massena Memorial Hospitals Dialysis Center.
The program will give at risk individuals of the north country an opportunity to detect early kidney disease.
Individuals who are 18 years and older with high blood pressure, diabetes or a family history of kidney disease should attend the kidney screening. The screening will provide participants with a comprehensive health risk appraisal, blood pressure measurement, blood and urine testing and the opportunity to discuss their health and review results with onsite clinician Dr. Khurram Mumtaz.
Twenty-six million adults in the United States have chronic kidney disease and millions more are at risk. Most people are not aware that they have kidney disease or are at risk. Routine blood and urine tests can be useful in diagnosing kidney disease. The community has high prevalence of common causes of chronic kidney disease such as diabetes mellitus and hypertension and that makes this screening program initiative very useful and important for early detection of chronic kidney disease, according to the hospitals nephrologist.
We had great success in the fall with our first kidney screening and wanted to offer this screening program to the North Country community members again, said Darlena James, RN, Dialysis Center director. We want to get the word out early so people can make sure they have the day available to come for this free screening. Anyone with a family history of diabetes and high blood pressure are encouraged to participate.
After the screening the National Kidney Foundation of Northeast New York will contact participants with their results, send the results to their clinicians with their permission, refer them to a clinician or public health facility, if needed, provide additional information, education and support, and invite participants back to attend a Kidney screening every year.
The goals of kidney screening are to:
■ Raise awareness about kidney disease especially among high risk individuals.
■ Provide free testing for people at increased risk for kidney disease.
■ Encourage people at risk to visit a clinician and follow the treatment plan recommended.
■ Provide educational information so that at risk individuals can prevent or delay kidney damage.
■ Provide clinician referrals for follow-up care, if needed.
■ Provide ongoing information and support.
You should attend the screening if you are 18 years or older and have one or more of the following:
■ Diabetes.
■ High blood pressure.
■ A parent, brother or sister with diabetes, high blood pressure or kidney disease.
One or more of these services will be provided to you at the screening:
■ Blood pressure, height, weight and waist circumference measurements.
■ Blood and urine tests for signs of diabetes and kidney disease, including blood glucose check blood sugar.
■ Hemoglobin check blood test for anemia.
■ Albumin to creatinine ratio (protein in urine)
■ Serum creatinine (measures how well kidneys are filtering blood).
■ Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (test for kidney function).
■ Total cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglycerides.
■ Some participants will also have their calcium, phosphorus, PTH and/or Hemoglobin A1c drawn.
Test results are provided on site by a clinician. Free educational materials are also available.
The National Kidney Foundation of Northeast New York will:
■ Contact you with your results.
■ With your permission, send your results to your clinician.
■ Refer you to a clinician or public health facility, if needed.
■ Provide additional information, education and support.
■ Invite you back to attend a kidney screening every year.

February Molson Canadian Cup goes to JS Giguere and Supports Boundless AdventuresShare Tweet
L-F: Steven Gottlieb, Executive Director Boundless; Danny Brown, 12for12k Founder; Adam Ouimet, Molson Coors Canada Sales Rep, Toronto; Bobby Smith, General Manager, Loose Moose; and JS Giguere.
Tuesday night's hockey game at the ACC in Toronto was presentation night for February's Molson Canadian Cup in partnership with the Team Up Foundation. The winning hard-working Leafs player was….. JS Giguere (congrats!) and the charity recipient of a $1000 donation was a great organization called Boundless Adventures.
This Molson Canadian Cup a was little extra special due to a collaboration between Molson Coors, Boundless and the innovative awareness and fundraising organization, 12for12k. 12for12k uses the power and outreach of social media to spread the word about multiple charitable organizations. From Twitter to Facebook, blogs to social media newsrooms and more, the 12for12k challenge helps supported charities connect with as wide an audience as possible. So, that being said, 12for12k's official charity for March is Boundless, and the $1000 donation on Tuesday night was a great kick-off to the month of fundraising.
Molson Coors Canada has partnered with Boundless for many years. Boundless is dedicated to improving the lives of marginalized youth, adults and children at risk through a unique combination of counselling, social rehabilitation, alternative education and outdoor adventure. Learn more
P.S. If you were at the game/saw the game Tuesday eve – awesome eh? 3-3 in overtime and then a sweet goal from Kulemin for the win! Go Leafs Go
