"…an outside-the-box journey into sights and sounds from far and deep into the imagination, and a fascinating antidote to the often stultifying dearth of vision and ambition in so much rock music today."
-Daniel Lukes, Lollipop
"…Secret Chiefs 3 have existed in various incarnations over the course of the past eight years, and have served as the funnel for Spruance's remarkably far-flung studies of the hermetic mysteries and musical traditions of unknown and underappreciated subgenres. Album titles like Grand Constitution and Bylaws and Book M hint at the music's vaguely metaphysical bent. Over three years in the making, Book of Horizons is Secret Chiefs' most expansive and coherent statement, an alchemical fusion of Morricone-esque cinematic grandeur, midnight surf guitar, traditional Middle Eastern rhythms and time signatures, demonic death metal, and electronic deviance that yields a work of undeniable force."

DENGUE FEVER's psychedelic take on the Cambodian pop sounds of the 60s makes them one of rock'n'roll's most unique stories. Their Asian Psychedelic sound draws enthusiastic crowds from LA to the UK , from Maui to Moscow, and leaves critics rummaging through their thesauruses looking for new superlatives to describe their music. Amazon.com named their album, Escape From Dragon House, the #1 international release for 2005, cementing their position as a global phenomenon. In England, Mojo named Escape to their Top 10 World Music releases of 2006. In Rolling Stone's best of the decade issue, Kirk Hammett of Metallica named Dengue Fever "Thousand Tears of a Tarantula" as the second best song of the decade.
Brothers Ethan (keyboards) and Zac (guitar) Holtzman started Dengue Fever in 2001 when they discovered they shared a love for the Cambodian pop music of the 60s. After adding sax man David Ralicke (Beck/Brazzaville), drummer Paul Smith and bassist Senon Williams, they went looking for a Cambodian singer. Enter Chhom Nimol, who performed regularly for the King and Queen of Cambodia . Her powerful singing, marked by a luminous vibrato that adds exotic ornamentations to her vocal lines, and hypnotic stage moves based on traditional dances, complimented the band's driving Cambodian/American sound.

Dodging bullets with tall buildings
Tall buildings policies are generally thought of as restrictive - the guiding impulse being to protect views and historic character, as in London - but the paradox is that anything restrictive is also permissive. If tall buildings are proscribed in certain places, then the implication is that they're permissible, in principle at least, elsewhere and the law of unintended consequences means that you might actually encourage them in places where you haven't banned them. This was our concern last year when Bath looked at a tall buildings policy - in our view, nothing other than a blanket proscription is tolerable in first-rank historic cities such as Bath and Oxford, and by ring-fencing the city centre you might prompt canny developers to scent an opportunity on the periphery. Today's news that Northern Ireland environment minister Edwin Poots is to implement a fresh tall buildings policy for Belfast demonstrates that such policies are not always driven by the best interests of conservation: Poots is quoted as saying that "People are looking to maximise land use. Tall buildings are acceptable but not in all locations." The objective of the exercise, in other words, is more to identify where you may build them than to state where you may not. The result can be visually very messy indeed. Take London, for example, where the policy is directed solely at protecting specified viewing corridors, principally those to St Paul's from outlying eminences such as Parliament Hill and King Henry's Mound in Richmond Park. This leads to some very odd results, with tall buildings permitted in the centre of London as long as they sit outside - sometimes inches outside - the protected viewing corridor. The reductio ad absurdum of the policy is that some buildings, such as the so-called Cheese Grater, are morphed to avoid impinging on the corridor: its moniker derives from the fact that it's heavily chamfered, almost like a comic-book hero sucking in his midriff to avoid a bullet. Less absurd, perhaps, to adopt a cordon sanitaire such as that in Paris; it would work well in London, were the possibility not scuppered by the politics of competition between the City of London and Canary Wharf.

Situations Matter
by Sam Sommers
The world around you is pulling your strings, shaping your private thoughts and innermost instincts.
And you don't even realize it.
Every day and in all walks of life, we overlook the enormous power of situations—of context—in our lives. Just like the museum visitor neglects to notice the frames around paintings, so do most people miss the influence of ordinary situations on the way they think and act. But frames do matter: your experience viewing the paintings wouldn't be the same without them.
The same goes for human nature.
"With a conversational, laid-back tone and a penchant for storytelling," (Publishers Weekly, 9/19/11), Situations Matter draws on behavioral science, popular culture, and humorous anecdote to explore the invisible forces influencing your life. By understanding the powerful influence context has on our daily existence, we can rethink how we see the world and be more effective at work, at home, and in regular interactions with others.

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- A toll-free application telephone number is now operational for those individuals in Horry, Georgetown and Charleston Counties affected by the high winds and flooding caused by Hurricane Floyd. Residents and small business owners in these counties who suffered damage or loss as a result of the hurricane are urged to apply for assistance.
Larry Bailey, Federal Coordinating Officer, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Stan McKinney, State Coordinating Officer, South Carolina Emergency Preparedness Division (SCEPD), said those affected by the disaster may apply for assistance by calling this toll-free application number, 1 800 462-9029, between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. (ET) seven days a week. Those with a speech or hearing impairment may call TTY 1 800 462-7585.
Prior to the hurricane's landfall, President Clinton signed a declaration releasing emergency federal funds to 27 South Carolina counties to cover the costs of critical measures necessary to meet immediate human needs, protect property and insure public health and safety. The declaration sought by Governor Jim Hodges and issued today makes federal aid available to help meet the recovery needs of county residents and business owners in the declared counties. Additional counties may be added to the declaration after further evaluation of the storm's effects.
The declaration makes residents of these counties eligible for a wide range of programs such as funding for disaster housing assistance, U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) low-interest loans for individuals and businesses to repair or replace damaged property, disaster unemployment assistance, and grants for serious need and necessary expenses not met by other programs.
Residents and business owners who suffered damage or loss due to Hurricane Floyd and have insurance coverage should first contact their insurance company and then apply for disaster assistance.
"Your phone call is your application for state and federal assistance available under this disaster declaration. Telephone application has proven to be the simplest, quickest and most efficient way to apply," McKinney said.
When calling to apply have the following information available:
- Your current phone number
- Your address at the time of the disaster and the address where you are staying
- Your Social Security number, if available
- A general list of damages and losses you suffered
- Good directions to the property that was damaged
- If insured, your insurance policy number, or the agent's and company name
- General financial information
According to Bailey, individuals who have suffered damage and have unmet needs are encouraged to call the application number. "Even if you don't have all the information necessary or it was lost in the flooding, don't prejudge your eligibility," he said. "It's important that all residents get the assistance they are entitled to."
"As we toured the areas hardest hit by Hurricane Floyd, the devastation that high winds and flooding can cause was clear." said Bailey. "After the flood waters recede and as individuals and their communities recover from this disaster, we hope that they will be looking at a variety of measures that might be taken to keep the devastation from happening again."
Through Project Impact: Building Disaster Resistant Communities, FEMA is working with communities across the country to reduce the impact that natural disasters have on people's lives. This major mitigation effort, initiated by FEMA Director James Lee Witt in 1998, expands the agency's focus beyond simply responding when disaster strikes to planning for the prevention of futu...

Re: Any tips on starting a new clan?LifeSong1 Oct 16, 2013 5:31 AM (in response to Shokingawesome)
Be a leader of the clan by leading by example (lots of participation).
Communication is key
Setup a free website if desired (http://www.codcp.com will be supporting Ghosts clans)
Communication is key! (needed to be repeated)
Recruit new members (use the Recruitment thread here and any other method you may find helpful)
Utilize the COD App to be able to chat with members and ready up with them. The more united they are and the more often they play with each other, the more likely they are to want to stay in the clan and stay engaged.
Re: Any tips on starting a new clan?phxs72 Oct 16, 2013 7:47 AM (in response to LifeSong1)
I agree with all of this. Be prepared to put your backpack on and do the heavy lifting. Like Lifesong said, "lots of participation." If you pick your members right, eventually your clan will grow and almost become self sustaining but in the early days you will have to lead by example and the only way to do that is to be on often and play with your members regularly. Building a clan takes work but is plenty doable for those that are serious enough to put the work in and casual enough to not drive good people away. Finding the balance between the two is the key.

I agree with both LifeSong1 and phxs72. Basically, if your not there it is not going to happen. However, the chances for a clan to be "self sustaining" is very small. Maybe like 0.5% not even a 1%. My clan is small, yet we reached level 50 WAY before clans with 100 members. Looking at Heavy Weight clans I noticed bronze and silver medals. There is no reason 80+ members in a clan should receive bronze or a silver.
In a nut shell, you want a successful clan you need to be there 99% of the times.
Re: Any tips on starting a new clan?LifeSong1 Oct 17, 2013 6:52 AM (in response to mwfan55)
Maintenance of your clan is also key. I have 95+ members in my clan but I know that many of them are not that active. My website allows me to track which are active and which haven't helped in any op/challenge in a while and thus I know who to kick if I need room. Those are key pieces of information that help you manage and run your clan well. Now because I had room for new people, I wouldn't typically kick people out of the clan if they weren't playing until I needed that room. Having those types of stats are very helpful (something Elite did NOT provide).
Re: Any tips on starting a new clan?phxs72 Oct 17, 2013 7:04 AM (in response to LifeSong1)
Yes this is very helpful. I did this quite a bit back in MW3 but Elite was so wonky in BO2 and there wasn't any prizes really to go for, so I got away from it but I'll have to get back into the swing of things for Ghosts. Culling out the dead weight when you need room is a good way to keep your clan active and moving forward. Outside of active participation and communication of events, I think that this is most important thing that a clan leader can do to promote clan growth.

Everyone's approach to enterprise application integration is changing: Your company is moving to the cloud and rapidly adopting mobile as a delivery channel.
Your business wants more effective engagement with customers via web, mobile, and social channels. Your partners want more collaboration with you. Lines of business (LOBs) are increasingly adopting cloud services (SaaS). IT has to maintain governance and be ready to help.
Where enterprise application integration projects used to be driven by your Integration Competency Center or Center of Excellence, iPaaS vendors now offer simplified integration tools. What approach do you take? Be flexible and take an adaptive approach to integration.
Choose the Right Tool Based on Your Role
Application Project and LOB Developers
Time-to-market pressures make you yearn for a simple, easy-to-use application integration platform, especially because speed seems more important than long-term reliability, scalability, and maintainability. Traditional on-premise enterprise application integration seems too complex for innovative prototyping.
No worries. Using the same underlying industry-leading architecture that drives many of the world's largest integration projects, TIBCO's application integration platform gives you the flexibility to quickly and easily deploy and run your integration projects on any platform. Offerings include:
- TIBCO BusinessWorks™ Express: The same ease-of-use as an open-source enterprise service bus (ESB) at a competitive price. With BusinessWorks Express, you can tune configuration parameters rather than write additional code or buy additional hardware, which you would have to do with open-source products. Its advanced functionality provides the needed reliability and scalability out-of-the-box, so you can avoid the unexpected costs and project delays common when using the so called "good enough" integration offerings.
- TIBCO Cloud Bus™: This integration platform as a service (iPaaS) lets you seize the full potential of your cloud investments by streamlining processes between your SaaS and on-premise systems. With Cloud Bus, the enterprise cloud integration platform lets you to be up and running in minutes.
Integration Competency Center Developers
Due to the sheer volume of work and typical fast turns, the Integration Competency Center cannot own all enterprise application integration projects. But by adopting an adaptive approach and working collaboratively to guide various teams toward a common set of tools, you can achieve governance over standards and architecture. Down the road, if a project proves to be successful and becomes your responsibility, the common set of technologies provides a quick and seamless transition.
TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ is at the heart of TIBCO's application integration platform. It allows you to expose data as real-time events or API services, giving you the support you need to master the constantly evolving enterprise application landscape.
The TIBCO enterprise application integration platform goes beyond making data available. It provides tools to:
- Manage the quality of your data with TIBCO® MDM
- Design business processes based on real-time events with TIBCO ActiveMatrix® BPM
- Monetize your integration services leveraging an API marketplace with TIBCO® API Exchange
- Correlate meaningful business information from events and data flows with complex event processing
Find out in less than five minutes whether your integration platform is mature enough to meet today's business demands.
See how TIBCO's integration platform helps you identify opportunities and take action.

As Wyoming residents head to the polls Nov. 5, they will vote for seven of the eight candidates for city council.
Incumbents Lynn Crider, Al Delgado, Pamela Kamm, Jenni McCauley, Jim OReilly, Barry Porter and Vicky Zwissler will be challenged by Jennifer Eismeier.
The candidates were asked to weigh in on the challenge of economic development in Wyoming, with responses not to exceed 150 words:
Economic development, specifically occupied storefronts and businesses, has been a challenge in Wyoming. To what do you attribute this ongoing challenge, what do you propose as a solution or approach, and how do you think this can be accomplished?
Lynn Crider
Perhaps the best way to approach this question is from a broader perspective. Wyomings challenges around economic development arent unique. In fact, many local communities are striving to improve their shop local environment. Despite the issues we may face, Wyoming has taken several positive steps forward in our development efforts. For example, demand for professional office space has proven to be a niche for our community several previously vacant buildings along Springfield Pike are now filled with professional services companies. In the business district, both 400 and 500 Wyoming Avenue are full and Wyoming Farmers Market continues to be a draw. I see these positive results as building blocks for the city to leverage in its future strategic planning. Furthermore, I support the extension of the bike trail to our downtown and enhancing the Village Green Park for additional programming that will increase traffic to our business district.
Al Delgado
Until November 2012 I was a member of Wyoming Community Improvement Corporation. During that time we worked very hard along with members of Economic Development Commission to occupy the storefronts and businesses in Wyoming. At that time we surveyed the community of Wyoming, we reviewed the Master Plan and invited successful businesses to come to Wyoming.
I do think the conscious efforts of the committees, along with the hard work of the city administration and the city council we were successful, in spite of the recession, bringing diligent entrepreneurs such as, Dale Hipsley of Half Day Café, Dino Distasi of Gabbys and Distasi, Zack Green of FoxFire, The Art Resource Team, Law Office of Thomas Melott and Dr. Emily Shull to the already successful businesses. In the future we need to continue surveying the needs of the changing Wyoming community, networking with area communities, and inviting businesses to come see Wyoming. Once they come to Wyoming they will fall in love with the community and it business opportunities.
Jennifer Eismeier
Wyoming has many thriving businesses that serve the community well and we have capacity for similar investment by more business owners. Wyomings small-town neighborhood feel makes us a perfect locale for businesses that want tight-knit community support and appeal to shoppers and customers who appreciate the same. It is also imperative that Wyoming businesses serve a broad market that extends beyond Wyomings borders and offer a range of high quality services or products. With no dedicated economic development director, the work of pitching Wyoming as an outstanding place to do business must be part of everyones job among city staff and council. This means understanding current vacancy in retail and commercial space, engagement with residents and other city business owners to understand community needs, and consistent attention to identifying opportunities to attract both new and existing businesses to Wyoming.
Pamela Kamm
The economic climate of the past few years has created challenges for all businesses, not just those located in Wyoming. Our city administration, under councils direction, has worked diligently to locate and move businesses to our city. We have the CIC (Community Improvement Corporation) in place to ease the bureaucratic process of bringing business here and making it more efficient. We brought in HCDC to provide interested business owners with mentoring and training at no cost to the owner. Currently, downtown is thriving with 500 Wyoming Ave., in the heart of our business district, at 100 percent occupancy! It is leased with a mix of retail, services and office space. DeStasis recently opened their new restaurant and banquet center at 400 Wyoming Ave. We will continue to work with our existing businesses to help them as we can and seek new businesses that are in the best interest of our residents.
Jenni McCauley
Filling all storefronts/buildings is challenging. We forget that Hyde Park, Madeira, Anderson, etc... have vacancies too. All want every commercial /office space filled but few are able to achieve that dream. Most retail and restaurants choose location based on two factors 1, location at an expressway exit; 2, large area of similar demographics? Again, few have that. What Wyoming can do (and has) is recognize that small business is our backbone. In fact, Wyoming has over 70 small businesses within our boundaries that are succeeding. Many are thriving. Our best approach is to get out of their way and listen for opportunities to help them improve their bottom line. Other tactics to help small businesses include using public-private partnerships where it improves both, encouraging the growth of existing businesses, stabilizing deteriorating properties, publicizing business news, vacancies, sales and creating a directory of all Wyoming businesses.

Quality of our residential lifestyle attracts and retains families in Wyoming. The goal for our economic development will be to serve families needs. Like all other small businesses, the store owner who serves the customer best will have a long and positive relationship with Wyoming residents. All of us know that these are challenging times for businesses, but we are all pleased when a location flourishes with the right mix of products, attractive setting and services. From my years as a committee chair in the Greater Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, as a retired P&G worker, and more recently as an active small business investor with Queen City Angels, I will continue to support and encourage the success of our business core.
Barry Porter
The question of why a number of the Wyoming storefronts have had trouble maintaining businesses is not new. In most cases a new business to the area or a startup is attempting to enter the Wyoming business community. Success can be difficult if their business model has not accurately read the market or provided sufficient working capital necessary to establish a foothold. In some cases there is no business model, but a dream. The solution is for the city to help businesses be successful by attracting customers, or providing business advisers and expertise, or commissioning market studies, or a combination of the three. The city has limited financial resources, but has accesses to a number of experienced business professionals and advisors. It can sell Wyoming to the region. The city can provide a small town ambiance to attract people to the business district through its parks, street scape and parking.
Vicky Zwissler
Wyoming needs a coherent, broad based economic development program. We can accomplish this in our existing economic development commission. Currently there are random discounts and giveaways, only if Wyoming owns the property a business desires. Recent example: 400 Wyoming Ave. DiStasi Enterprises received the $450,000 building, 1/3 of the adjacent park and $270,000.00 in cash & improvements. All free, no repayment or follow-up reporting required. This wasnt a council negotiation or vote. Only three council members were part of the committee (CIC) which negotiated and finalized the contract, risking $750,000.00 tax dollars. Unfortunately, the property just had a lien filed on it for non-payment of $146,000.000 in additional contractor work successfully completed last December. Should the development not succeed, the city can take back the property but will likely pay creditors to clear the title. An economic development program will build the entire business community instead of taking isolated risks.

A new law threatens to throw thousands of Alabama custody agreements into disarray and could force parents into court to keep their children nearby.
The Alabama Parent-Child Relationship Protection Act, which goes into effect September first, requires parents to notify each other before relocating.
If the move is more than 60 miles between the custodial parent who plans to relocate and the other parent, or if the move is out of state, the non-custodial parent can file a lawsuit objecting.
The parent who has custody must give notice 45 days before the move. If there is no objection filed within 30 days of the notice, the child can move.
Other attorneys believe the law is unconstitutional, and there's the potential for parents to object out of jealousy or spite.
Under the old law, a custodial parent could move about as they pleased. If a non-custodial parent objected to a child's move, they could file suit to show why the move was detrimental to the child. A majority of the lawsuits were unsuccessful.
There are exceptions to the notice provisions of the act if a parent has been a victim of domestic violence or if the move is required by military order.

I assume you're intending to use 120 film? If so, frame numbers are imprinted on the paper backing. Just get hold of some dark red transparent plastic and have a look at the backing to see where the frame numbers for your chosen format is located (6x6 is in the center; if memory serves, 645 is at the top and 6x9 at the bottom, but you'll see once you get hold of a roll of 120...), then drill a hole in the back at the appropriate position, glue the red plastic onto the body and Bob's your uncle.
It would be advisable to have some sort of mechanism to keep the film flat-ish against the rear of the box - for one, it will keep the film flat during the exposure; also, it will ensure that whatever stray light enters via the hole you drilled for the film frame readout does not bounce about the insides of the camera. (Shouldn't be much of an issue - you'll paint the inside black anyway, I guess.)

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan A U.S. missile strike that killed a British militant linked to a jetliner bomb plot points to sharper American intelligence in Pakistan's borderlands, but is unlikely to lessen anger over the raid and others like it, analysts say.
Protesters Sunday urged Islamabad to sever ties with the United States over the strike highlighting the risks for Washington as it seeks to eliminate extremists along the Afghan border yet also support Pakistan's democratically elected government.
Pakistani intelligence officials say British citizen Rashid Rauf and a Saudi militant named Abu Zubair al-Masri were among five people killed in Saturday's raid in North Waziristan.
There was no independent confirmation of Rauf's death from either the U.S. or Britain, which had been seeking Rauf's extradition before he escaped from Pakistani custody in December 2007.
Pakistani officials discussing the case insisted on anonymity because of the sensitivities of U.S. operations on the country's soil.
Washington has unleashed at least 20 suspected missile attacks on militant targets close to the Afghan border since mid-August, a dramatic increase that reflects its frustration with Pakistan's own efforts.
Islamabad insists it has no knowledge of the raids, which it says undermine the country's sovereignty, undercut its anti-terror campaign and make it harder to justify its alliance with Washington.
But many analysts speculate it has cut a secret deal with the U.S., though Islamabad continues to publicly criticize the strikes.
"It is next to impossible for the government to acknowledge working with the Americans, even if it is in the country's interests," said Samina Ahmed, the South Asia project director for the International Crisis Group.
Ahmed and other analysts said the raids appeared to be getting more successful in targeting foreign, typically Middle Eastern, militants.
Last Friday, an al-Qaida member identified as Abdullah Azam al-Saudi was reported killed in a missile strike outside of the tribal regions where most others have hit,
Pakistani officials have said many of the victims were civilians, including women and children.
"There are American informants who are doing a far better job than they once did," she said.
Osama bin Laden and other top al-Qaida and Taliban leaders are believed to be hiding in Wazirstan or neighboring regions, possibly planning more attacks on the West.
Fighters blamed for carrying out and planning attacks on Western forces in Afghanistan also use the rugged region as a staging post, military officials say.
Without directly admitting to being behind the raids, U.S. officials have said recently that several ranking al-Qaida operatives had been killed in the border region in recent months.
Rauf, who is of Pakistani origin, was perhaps one of the most significant yet.
Britain was seeking his return ostensibly as a suspect in the 2002 killing of his uncle there, but Rauf had allegedly been in contact with a group in Britain planning to smuggle liquid explosives onto trans-Atlantic flights and also with a suspected al-Qaida mastermind of the plot in Afghanistan.
The plot's revelation in August 2006 prompted a major security alert at airports worldwide and increased restrictions on carryon items.
A London jury convicted three men in the case in September.
The U.S. raids are deeply unpopular among many ordinary Pakistanis, many of whom are already angry with their leader's support for the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan.
About 100 people in the eastern city of Multan demonstrated against the strike, chanting "Down with America" and burning an effigy of President George W. Bush.
"The government should take concrete measures to protect the country's sovereignty instead of just paying lip service," said one demonstrator, Arif Fasihullah.
Talat Masood, a retired military general and political analyst, said America's interests would be better served if it shared intelligence with Pakistan and allowed it to act.
But U.S. officials have suggested that elements of Pakistan's intelligence and military which supported the Taliban's rise to power in Afghanistan may be sympathetic to the extremists.
"There is a lack of trust here, but the danger is that the government is looking helpless, while anti-American sentiment is growing with each incoming missile," said Masood. "Ultimately, you need the support of the people in fighting this war."
Associated Press writers Khalid Tanveer in Multan, Pakistan, and Nancy Zuckerbrod in London contributed to this report.

In Sekiu, it's all about the fish
SEKIU — No Twitter required here.
Word of what they're biting on spreads like a virus in this little fishing town on the northern Olympic Peninsula.
At the fish cleaning stations, coffee shops and bars, anglers eagerly relive every catch.
"Ran into a school of silvers off Pillar Point ... should'a seen him jump ... made a good run when I got 'im near the boat."
Sekiu, population 204, shrinks and swells on the tides of anglers who come and go with the fish runs. Salmon season, which starts midsummer, is winding to a close. The next big boom is May, when lingcod and Pacific halibut are fair game in area five, extending from the Sekiu River's mouth 30 miles east to the Lyre River.
When the bite is on, the creaking docks are chock-a-block with boats, straining at their moorings. The hillsides are crammed with RVs and tents, a haze of campfire smoke hangs over the town and "no vacancy" signs glow all about.
Accommodations are nothing fancy, but the view is spectacular. Bottle-green water sparkles with beds of kelp that sway and twirl in the currents. Canada seems within spitting distance.
Mist shrouded forests plummet to rocky shores set about with bizarre, eroded formations. One called Mussolini Rock has a tuft of trees growing on top vaguely resembling the Italian dictator's military cap.
Seals and sea lions bob up out of the waves, then slip below the surface. Sea birds wheel and dive. You never know what you're going to see: a school of porpoises, a pod of whales.
At dawn, fishermen (and the occasional woman) lug on their muckboots, fill their thermoses and fire up their motors, lighting out on the heaving waters like a swarm of bees. If the bite is on, they'll limit out before noon and spend the rest of the day swapping fish stories.
A glamorous resort town this is not. The docks are splattered by great clouds of seagulls that flock like brazen thugs around the fish cleaning stations, mewling for a handout of guts. The smell is distinctly horrific, tinged with wood smoke and a pleasant waft of salt air from the open water.
The anglers are happy as kids at summer camp. For many, the trip to Sekiu is an annual fill-the-freezer ritual. When not fishing, they're tending the smoker or vacuum-sealing their catch.
The handful of hardy souls who operate the eateries and rustic resorts make much of their annual income during the few frenzied weeks when the fish are running. The recession hit Sekiu hard, but the town had been struggling years before the bottom dropped out of the housing market.
On the west side of town, a decaying dock is all that's left of a once bustling fish cannery from decades past. Here and there are boarded up buildings. Properties that remain open are sagging, a little seedy. The fishermen don't care, but the symptoms bode ill for Sekiu.
Challenges facing resort owners are often invisible to visitors. There was the storm of 2006 that took out the parking lot of Van Riper's Resort. Repairing the damage took a quarter-million dollars worth of fill.
Another problem is age, not of the properties but the owners. Barbara Marrin, who owns The Breakwater restaurant, is in her mid-60s. A warm and friendly woman with a white apron around her waist, Marrin makes homemade pies and cakes, and a mean prime rib. She has a grandson to help through college, so she's not actively looking for a buyer. But the place has been listed since before her husband died four years ago.
In the old days, The Breakwater had no "off season." If it wasn't the fishermen, it was the loggers, who lined up outside the door on payday. Now, what logging goes on, the workers live out of town, Marrin said. These days, the place stays busy enough, but nothing like it used to be.
"We're all tired," Marrin said.
She and her cohorts are ready for something new. Van Riper's is for sale. So is Olson's, the largest resort in town, as well as many smaller properties.
Sekiu's future well may rest with adventurous entrepreneurs game for the challenge of a seasonal industry at the edge of civilization. As a lure for any prospective takers, let's just say Marrin and other Sekiu business owners do well enough to flock south and winter in bone dry Arizona.

I have been tagging left and right, and am still delighted with this new capability - so powerful, so useful. I am migrating from many sub-lists to one list and many Smart Lists. To do this, I search for all items in a list AND isTagged:false, and work my way through them as I cannot assign a tag to multiple items at once.

Ran, I'm not sure if I'm following you. Whenever I select all, it only selects the visible tasks (i.e. the incomplete ones). Are you viewing the list by clicking on the list tab, or by using a search query? If it's a search query, can you please post the query you're using? Thanks!

Yellow Pages is set to benefit from the global growth of digital offerings and will derive 39% of its revenues from "video, SEM/SEO, mobile, social and reputation management" by 2014, according to a study by research firm BIA/Kelsey.
In the U.S., BIA/Kelsey sees strong growth coming from what it calls "the more established digital offerings, including Web sites, SEM and video" although reputation management, SEO, social and mobile should be the main expansion drivers. The expected compound annual growth rate (CGAR) for digital revenues stands at 17.2% in the U.S., the research firm said in a statement.
In Europe, digital revenues "will surpass print revenues across Europe by 2014, and even sooner in several markets, including Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Belgium and France," it predicted.
Estimates for Latin America are more precise, as BIA/Kelsey expects digital to account for 11.8% of revenues by 2014, almost doubling the 6.2% contribution from 2009.
In Asia, the Pacific Rim and the rest of world (ROW), digital revenues "will grow by $446 million during the forecast period, a 12.8 percent CAGR." Emerging markets such as China will grow directly through mobile, "bypassing print and Internet Yellow Pages," it said.
Overall, "we expect to see certain publishers outperforming our forecast," said Charles Laughlin, BIA/Kelsey senior vice president.
The data is part of BIA/Kelsey's Annual Global Yellow Pages Forecast (2009-2014)

Samsung and Motto are light years ahead of Apple now in the design department.
Tech specs are somewhat solid, and iOS 6 had better be good because thats the only thing this design disaster has going for it.
Is Ives completely out of ideas???
Well, give me an example of
Any Android with all items above combined?
Yeah, their screen size certainly is. Nothing else about them screams 'growing in leaps and bounds' to me, though. We have LTE now, except we don't across most of the planet, processors are only going to become incrementally better, same with RAM, same with GPU power, capacities can only increase as fast as NAND grows, and MicroSDXC cards don't seem to be getting any bigger or cheaper any time soon.
I wonder if the people that say this realize how stupid they sound? The iPhone 4S was the fastest cell phone in the world when it was released. I imagine the 6th iPhone is the fastest cell phone in the world again. What part of "every single aspect of the phone was upgraded last time" was not "major changes"? What part of "everything but the camera is upgraded this time, and even more things that weren't last time" is not "major changes"?
The case looks the same. BIG. FRIGGING. WHOOP. That seems to be the basis of your entire argument.
Do you seriously expect Apple to revolutionize the space with *every* release.
The WOW factor is that it's the most unmatched marriage of hardware and software. And the phone's build quality is first-rate. And it runs iOS 6 (you can't seriously call Android an evolved interface), and it's better than the iPhone 4S.
Nope, not every release. But the last major update was the iPhone 4. The 4s and now the 5 are small upgrades to the camera, processor, screen size, and now LTE. So now we have to wait until 2013, by then Apple has been crawling along for 3 years. I still have my iPhone 4 and still don't feel any need to upgrade.
Nope, other than his secretive but passionate love of Sony, he never has any original ideas of his own at all. And it shows..., but for his complete lack of originality, he was knighted. Everyone knows once you're knighted, everything will start to go down hill from there. Perhaps, that IS his punishment.
Yeah! Why, just the other day I used both my hands to hold my phone to my head and wasn't carrying groceries or other items at the same time.
You people should open a comedy club.
We see the same comments shortly after every release. Especially after the iPhone 4S.
Then we see "Apple sells x-million during first weekend."
Then we see:
"I knew it"
"Not surprising"
"It really is a great device"
"I love mine, it's awesome"
"beat that (insert name of Android OEM du jour)!"
And so on.
What, like Samsung did with the Galaxy S 2 to the Galaxy S III, oh hang on, 8 Megapixel, the same, oh, oh I know like HTC did from the Sensation to the Ine X... damn, same 8 Megapixel, well so much for camera upgrades from the main opposition.
So to go from 16gb to 32gb on the iPod Touch it's $50
To do the exact same thing on the new iPhone it's $100

A lot of complaints here (what else is new?)! For me who's still using a 3GS this is very good and what I been waiting for: LTE, bigger screen (albeit slightly bigger), faster, better cam, etc. This will be a huge upgrade from my 3GS. If you have a 4 or 4S it might not be so special, but for me and a coworker - we're excited. We didn't see the point of going 4S last year and still be on 3G only. Would be nice to make the screen 4.25+, but 4" is cool - need to go to a store to see how it feels. If they didn't make the screen bigger I was likely going Samsung S-III with a heavy heart and guilty conscious. Now… jump to Verizon or Sprint… hmmm… desicions.
Tired looking design - a bit like the Range Rover refined and functional but tired looking and out of touch with the new boys on the block. Taller ? what happened to the scroll bar - doesn't that do the same thing. Iconic - isn't that a fanciful way for saying 'old'. Apple do yourself a favor and license the software to Samsung, Motorola, LG and HTC so we can get something new and you get to keep your cash generating eco system.
Rather, what does this have, that an Android phone hasn't for the last year?
Don't say iOS.
Exactly! I'm beyond underwhelmed with this. (I say that because I love Apple and know they can do so much better.) This is a huge miss. Saying they didn't go wider because you should be able to hold the phone is a cop out. It's not as if people are dropping Androids and Windows phones left and right. The fact is Apple got lazy. 25 months to stretch a phone???? Sorry, that's lame. Yes, they'll have huge sales numbers but anyone not already locked into the Apple ecosystem now has a lot more to think about when getting their first smartphone. If I did not already have so many Apple products I would not buy this. But since I do...
Careful Shidell! You'll be labeled an Android fanboy! This is not the place for facts! ;)
Woah, time machine, back to last year, these loser type comments didn't work then and they won't work now...
...now run along, Samsung needs you back on set for their new commercial.
Again, it looks just like an iMac.
It is a cohesive drawing together of all of apple's consumer devices.
the fully laminated screen? iMac
the holes on the bottom for speakers? iMac
Since I am way overdue for an upgrade, I am merely attempting to determine if I want black or white.
Is the black anodized black on the case? I can't tell with the pictures.
That would harken back to Steve Jobs and NXT computers, where he anodixed the screws in the case black as well, even when they would not be seen.
However the white is also sexy........
I have a feeling I will be buying one of my phones at full price......

I think you're reasoning is rather out of whack. Almost ALL premium Android phones have tossed that 4" specs to their back storage room, never heard from again..., and so far there wasn't anyone who bought the bigger screen Android phone by choice complained about its usability or its fumbling out of a hand.
You missed the point, which is that the iPhone 5's new features are items that Android has already had for the past year, and in some cases, longer.
These are products aimed to different kind of costumer. You charge what the customer is willing to pay for the upgrade, not what the actual upgrade cost. Apple has always charged premium upgrade prices anyway so there is nothing new here...
Another choice stupid comment. Laptops are not changing and evolving at the rate and scale smartphones are. In the smartphone world tech and devices are growing in leaps and bounds. Apple seems to have left that world and joined the incremental update world. That was fine with the 4S, but now it's the third phone without major changes that lead with new features, and I'm not talking about the design of the exterior. They follow behind Android by a year or more.
So why don't you fill us in on the "leaps and bounds" between the Galaxy S 2 and the Galaxy S III?
Same 8 megapixel camera, check.
Updated screen resolution, hmm Apple did that with the 3GS to 4 over two years ago.
More cores in a faster processor, hmm 4 to 4S over a year ago.
Yawn, can't think of much else.
Why don't you go away, your comments are boring, shill like garbage.
An underwhelming phone if I've ever seen one.
As has been pointed out, there is nothing in this phone that has not existed in Android for a year at least.
OS is still looking the same. The minor upgrades to Apple's apps duplicate Apps that have been available for years and are mostly free.
Slightly longer screen - Meh.
LTE, again out for years on Android.
Battery Life - lower end of the smartphones.
As an Apple user since the 80's I must say I am disappointed.
Yes, I will probably buy this as I've invested so much in the Apple environment, however, I do think the number of new iPhone adopters will plummet. This phone's hardware is behind most Android phones and unless you're invested in the Apple Apps world, there is little motivation to join it.
This is exactly how I feel.
iPod, iPad, iPad2, iPad 3, iPad Mini, iPhone, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, AppleTV (1,2 & 3), 13" MacBook Pro, 24" Cinema Display, Time Capsule, 21.5" iMac (Mid 2011)
iPod, iPad, iPad2, iPad 3, iPad Mini, iPhone, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, AppleTV (1,2 & 3), 13" MacBook Pro, 24" Cinema Display, Time Capsule, 21.5" iMac (Mid 2011)
Did the research on that already.
The real issue is what network options you have when you are not in LTE range.
With Verizon it's back to old CDMA networks.
Sprint I will admit I never considered.......
AT&T at least gives you Edge (being phased out), HDSPA, HDSPA+, and then LTE.
I decided to stay with AT&T, based solely on my network bandwidth coverage options.
Look to Microsoft to make Windows fit on a phone entirely, and allow you to dock it to a tablet enclosure or a PC dockstation.
It's pretty clear that "Metro" or "Modern UI" or whatever is their bridge, and Windows Phone 8 is already running the Windows 8 RT Kernel.
Most of them are probably sitting in a room in India, copying from a list on a blackboard and getting paid 2 rupees a post.
I wonder if astroturfing has been outsourced?

|Back to Home > Content > Interviews > So What Do You Do, Dennis Crowley, Co-Founder and CEO of Foursquare?
Dennis Crowley, along with Naveen Selvadurai, started the company around his kitchen table after shuttering a similar service called Dodgeball. "One of the reasons I think that Dodgeball suffered is because it wasn't really a fun one-player experience. If you didn't have 10 friends on it, you really weren't getting much value out of it," said Crowley. "So a lot of stuff we tried to build into Foursquare from the very beginning was about [exploring] the city by yourself. There's a reason to check in beyond just sharing it with your friends." Eventually the pair got out of the kitchen and made their first hire, and today they have a team of 27 that barely fits into the office. "We've been waiting for years and years to be able to do interesting things with mobile phones in the location space, and it feels like all the pieces are finally lined up to make those things happen."
WebNewser editor Alex Weprin caught up with Crowley to talk about how he's grown Foursquare and what's next for the company.
[Foursquare] struck a couple of deals with television networks, Bravo and C-SPAN -- is that a mutually promotional partnership that benefits each of you, or do you think it can actually drive revenue at some point?
We don't disclose the terms of the deal. Some of them are generating revenue, and some of them are just interesting and exploratory. A lot of it is an experimentation to see if we get media properties and different media brands on Foursquare, are they seeing some benefit in terms of leaving different pieces of content around [the] real world for other users to discover? So every deal that we do is a little bit different. We're inching towards a strategy that works for everyone.
How do you handle suggestions from users, like if someone has an idea for a badge?
We built a forum a while ago, almost like a year ago. We still go through it pretty regularly, maybe once or twice a month. And now we're structured to the point that we have these badge meetings that go on twice every week, and occasionally we'll go through the queue and pull out four or five good ideas and try to push those out.
|"We're doing a lot of things to explore and experiment in [the location-based] space to try to tease out the things that are going to be most interesting to venues, but a lot of value to users, too."
Do you think Silicon Valley has more people willing to fund ventures compared to New York?
Yeah, I think that might have been the case before. I know when Alex [Rainert] and I were trying to raise financing for Dodgeball back in 2004, we had a really tough time because there really wasn't a strong angel network here in New York, especially for tech startups. And even when Naveen and I were trying to raise financing really just last year, it was a little bit more difficult. But I think even since that process, a lot of other firms have opened up shops in New York. There's definitely a resurgence of the New York tech scene, and I think you're seeing that and also in the presence of other investors here, too.
What's the best business advice that you've ever received?
Well I think it goes back to what my mom used to say, way back in the day, because I never believed it. She was like, "If you keep working on the stuff that you really love and you're really passionate about, then everything else will just kind of work out." When I was like 20 and 22, it didn't really make much sense, but with these projects, even Foursquare -- I've been hammering on some of these issues or some of these questions for about 10 years, and it seems like her advice is generally pretty good now.
What advice would you give to an entrepreneur?
I think it's being persistent with what you're trying to do. I always encourage people to try and go out and team up with folks who can help them build a prototype. It's funny, I go to these parties or conferences, and people will pitch me these ideas that they have: "What do you think? Isn't this great? Can I raise financing on this?" And you know, I think all those are good and interesting ideas and stories, but it's really difficult to take an idea and execute on top of it. So I really encourage people to team up with different groups of people or different groups of skill sets and really try to get something off the ground.
Where do you think the biggest revenue opportunities are in the location-based social space?
Location's pretty broad, so I guess it depends on what you're tackling. For the stuff we're looking at ,I think there's really good opportunities in connecting users with local businesses. We're doing a lot of things to explore and experiment in that space to try to tease out the things that are going to be most interesting to venues, but a lot of value to users, too.
Is there any concern at Foursquare about Facebook launching its own location-based service?
We've spawned a lot of different competitors, and we definitely look at what Twitter and Facebook are doing. We're really interested in the way that they're approaching location, too. I don't really have a lot of insight into what those guys are launching, but we look forward to seeing what it looks like when it does come out, and if there's ways that we can work together with them.
|"We've been waiting for years and years to be able to do interesting things with mobile phones in the location space, and it feels like all the pieces are finally lined up to make those things happen."
What do you think Foursquare will look like in, say, five years?
I don't know. It's funny because we have a road map that could take us a couple of years. But again, you look at even four years ago the iPhone wasn't out, and look at how much things are even going to change just with iPhone 4 coming out and all these background location tasks suddenly being available. It's hard to really gauge, but we've been waiting for years and years to be able to interesting things with mobile phones in the location space, and it feels like all the pieces are finally lined up to make those things happen.
What's a typical day at Foursquare like?
We've got this one floor in the Village Voice building, and there's three different companies there, and there's just no more room. Like, you walk in and there's absolutely no more room. That's after we moved about 10 people downstairs. There's a lot of shuffling back and forth, people moving around trying to find a conference room, trying to find a place to sit, trying to find a place to work. It's pretty hustling and bustling. A lot of people come in for their first time and take a look, and they're like, "Oh my gosh, I can't believe you guys actually work here."
I probably get in around 9:00 or 9:30, and it's really running from meeting to meeting and trying to catch up with as many people in our office as possible so I have a general idea of what's going on. And then usually speaking to some brands and speaking to some potential partners that we're doing, either media companies or mobile companies. It's not a lot of coding these days. It's a lot of coordinating and just communicating with people.
How do you and Naveen [Selvadurai, co-founder] work together?
We sit next to each other. He's managing the client team, and I'm running around to get a bird's eye view of everything that's going on. A lot of what I'm doing is helping Alex [Rainert, chief product officer] out on trying to organize and get a lot of the product stuff up and running. And a lot of that touches what Naveen is doing on the client team. So we work pretty closely but not every single day together.
What mobile devices do you use?
I have an iPhone -- not the new one, the old one.
There's a bunch of them laying about in the office. We occasionally do this thing where someone will trade in their preferred phone and take out a Blackberry for a couple of days or take out the Android for a couple of days just so we can get a feel what it's like to exist in one of these other apps.
What places are you mayor of?
I think I'm only mayor of one. It's Scratcher, which is the bar across the street from our office. I'm pretty proud of that one because there's a lot of people checking in there all of the time, and I'm still holding down the fort. I used to have a ton of them, including the Chinese food restaurant in my suburban Boston town, and someone took that away from me a couple of months ago. I don't know who it was, but that's a sign that the service is growing.
Tune in to our Media Beat video interview with Dennis Crowley airing next week on WebNewser to hear his take on Silicon Valley startup culture vs. New York's, how Foursquare handles celebrity users, and his tips for media entrepreneurs.

Property once home to the only hotel on Navarre Beach will be reserved for a future hotel.
The Santa Rosa County Commission decided Thursday against a proposed zoning change that could have greatly expanded the potential uses of the 18-acre, Gulf-front parcel where the Holiday Inn once stood.
The zoning for the property that formerly housed the Holiday Inn was proposed to be changed from Hotel Navarre Beach/Navarre Beach High Density Residential to Navarre Beach Commercial. The Holiday Inn was destroyed by Hurricane Ivan in 2004. ...

Small molecule inhibitors block interleukin 1β (IL-1β)/tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα)-induced expression of matrix metalloproteinases without affecting the IL-1β/TNFα-induced decrease in mRNA expression of cartilage markers. (A) Significant upregulation of Mmp3 expression was found when metatarsals were treated with IL-1β and TNFα. Both PKF115-584 and CGP049090 decreased this upregulation after 4 days of cotreatment, whereas PKF118-310 did not have an effect. Mmp9 expression was significantly downregulated by PKF115-584 after 1 day and IL-1β/TNFα-induced upregulation was prevented by both PKF115-584 and CGP049090, but not by PKF118-310, after 4 days of culture. Expression of Mmp13 was significantly upregulated by IL-1β and TNFα, whereas this effect was blocked by cotreatment with PKF115-584 or CGP049090, but not with PKF118-310.
