Netflix (Nasdaq:NFLX)was born as a response to customer dissatisfaction. A late fee on his "Apollo 13" DVD prompted Chief Executive Officer Reed Hastings to start the Netflix DVD rental business with no late fee, shipping charges or handling charges all for a one time flat fee. It went a step further and mailed indie films, hitherto not easily available. It also provided a net streaming service at no extra cost. For all this customer delight, Netflix was quickly crowned the darling of the DVD rental and movie net streaming market. Licensing
TUTORIAL: Business Planning
Mass Exit
Then Netflix did something that saw it losing about 800,000 customers. In 2011 Netflix announced that it would be ending its offer of unlimited DVDs and video streaming for the single monthly price of $10. The new offer stated that customers could avail either unlimited DVDs or unlimited video streaming, by paying $8 a month. For customers who sought both services, it would now cost $16 a month. Netflix expected some subscriptions to be withdrawn, just not 800,000. It shelved its plan of rebranding its DVD mail rental service under a new entity called Qwikster and the new pricing stayed.
Many customers saw the new pricing as a sign of Netflix being too comfortable, arrogant and presumptuous. Since Netflix entered the market, newer kids had arrived on the block, the neighborhood DVD kiosk, Redbox, for example. Google (Nasdaq:GOOG), Amazon (Nasdaq:AMZN) and Youtube, with their deep pockets, had started taking their tentative first steps in the net streaming business. Blog apologies were submitted by the CEO and Netflix closed with an earnings jump of 63% in the third quarter of 2011, but lost 800,000 subscribers. Many industry watchers felt this could be the end of Netflix's pole position.
The company had its own perspective on why it did what it did and where it was headed; Netflix believes net streaming is the future. In countries where it now plans to expand into (U.K., Ireland, Korea and possibly India), it offers only its net streaming service. However, high quality content with diversity, available with DVDs, is not yet fully available. Netflix is therefore looking at developing independent content for its net streaming business. It has picked up the rights to Kevin Spacey's new show "House of Cards" and an ex-Fox show "Arrested Development."
Netflix, is also staring at a steep rise of its licensing fees. Netflix's streaming content licensing costs are expected to rise from $180 million in 2010 to $1.98 billion in 2012 (CNN money). Studios are opening their eyes to this new opportunity as net streaming technology makes it more seamless and widely available. Cash rich players like Google and Amazon, for whom it is not the core business, are willing to pay to increase their portfolio. Net streaming, unlike the DVD business, works on fee-per-use model. Unlike DVD content, Netflix has to negotiate for content rights in net streaming. Many content owners are not studios and some content right holders are hard to find. This makes net streaming content costs far more variable. This has also made the net streaming catalog seem limited.
The Netflix foray into newer markets around the globe is part of its strategy to stay on top of its game. It has forged partnerships with Lionsgate, Miramax and MGM in U.K. and Ireland. It is also in talks with regional players in India, Korea and South East Asia to make inroads in the net streaming markets there. It has also entered Latin America (Mexico, Central America, South America and the Caribbean), which gets content in Spanish and Portuguese, in addition to English. Netflix is also paying up-front licensing fees in these countries for its net streaming services. Other issues include piracy and low broadband speeds. The large markets and the love of things Hollywood make foreign markets the obvious way to grow for Netflix. (For more, read Analyzing Show Biz Stocks)
Branching Out
Netflix is also looking at partnership with the social media network giant Facebook. At the time of writing this article Netflix announced the launch of "Ice Cream Sandwich," the support for Android 4.0 mobiles tablets and other Android devices. With newer TVs, where net streaming is possible, Netflix considers it a key part of its strategy to make its content available in as many devices as possible. (For more, read What Makes An M&A Deal Work?)
Netflix plans to turn its $200 million debt into being in as many places and platforms as possible to grow. Unlike many other players in the digital space, net streaming of film-based content is its bread and butter. It will fight aggressively to stay the leader and sustain long-term growth despite high costs.
The Bottom Line
Product categories, including DVD rentals are increasingly becoming commoditized. Net streaming is the new, unmarked territory where rules still have to be made. Netflix recognizes this and is moving forward, but it needs to do so with their domestic subscribers, who seek more bang to their buck, in place.

Great plugin! Couple of questions, is it possible to center the slider image? Example, if it's a large image in terms of height, it shows from the top down. I wish to have it centered instead.
Also, any possible way to incorporate a title and short description on the slide?

These cut ANYTHING. You can chop a penny in half and not blink or strain. Thick poly-prop line ? Yup! Steel leader cable ? Yup! Ive cleaned up a few areas of some wrecks in the keys with these, and I have a spare pair in the bag for emergencies. You can cut a wetsuit off an injured person in a bout 10 seconds. Most EMTs carry these. For the price - get a few pairs. MUCH better than knives for most tasks.

I have many pairs of fins - some I like, some I love. I decided to try these when they went on sale. I broke them in during lobster season in the keys. I probably swam a marathon that day and never felt it! These fins are suprisingly light and agile, yet have just enough snap to the kick that they are FAST. I would never use them for scuba, as they do not have enough force, but they are an easy replacement for my Mares Plana fins for snorkeling! The boot rubber is also very soft against your skin - no chafing. I actaually came back to buy a set for my girl friend, and they were out of her size. I will try back soon.

Viewed from above, Driift Mania is a fast-paced racer that allows up to eight players to race each other, using cartoon-style cars.
Featuring twelve different tracks based on four themed environments - cityscape, hills, snow and a desert oasis - players can also select one of 32 vehicles from four categories. Each category is tailored for use within the different environments, with variations of speed, acceleration and handling and grip levels making specific vehicles ideal for particular locations.
Driift Mania's multi-player modes allow users to play using combinations of Wii Remotes, Nunchucks and Classic Controllers, and seven game modes are on offer. These range from the single-player and multi-player championships, and Team Race, wherein participants are divided into two teams, with the winner determined by those that accrue the most points. The VIP mode elects one player per team as a VIP vehicle, who must be protected at all costs from the opposition cars, with the removal of the VIP car resulting in a win for the attacking team.
Driift Mania also uses 'Contamination' where a player is marked contagious and must contaminate very other player within a set period, while the 'Cold Potato' mode charges the user with collecting said vegetable and holding on to it for as long as possible! Finally, the 'Meteorite' option sees players embarking on a normal race, while trying to avoid a series of meteors as they fall from the sky.
DRiiFT Mania is a new racing game from Konami. While there are already several other racers on the WiiWare service, it's safe to say that DRiiFT takes a different approach from them. Anyone who remembers oldies like Ivan Ironman's Super Off Road or RC Pro AM will immediately...read full review

This is just the beach of Gijón, but this city has much more to show and be discovered.
This is one of the most important symbols in my city. He is Pelayo, the king who started the war called "Reconquer" here in Spain, against the invasors, in the year 718 a.C.
This statue is, also, my favourite monument in Gijón.

A Honda car must regularly be serviced to keep it running smoothly for longer period. New cars come with free servicing coupons that take care of the initial years. But you have to pay for the servicing when your car is no longer new. Sometimes the cost of servicing the car may seem too steep to you. At these times, you may find the discount coupons offered by a large number of companies on their websites quite handy. You can save a lot of money when you use these coupons.
Using the coupons
Print-outs of the coupons are easily available from websites of car servicing agencies. You have to present them at the time of write up for booking the service. As servicing of the Honda car has to be done at all costs, saving some money by using discount coupons is a very good way to get the job done at a lower cost. The money you save here may be used for servicing the car next time as the car will not serve you better if not serviced properly at regular intervals.
Types of coupons
The Honda service coupons that are offered by various servicing agencies are basically of two types that are:
- The discount is given as a percentage of the total cost of servicing that may be required for the car where the total cost may be quite high
- A cash discount coupon is given for a [particular type of service like alignment, tire rotation or speed balancing for wheels. There are separate coupons for each kind of service and the amount of discount also varies with the job.
Disadvantages of coupons
There are a few problems that Honda service coupons may have when you use them. They are:
- The coupons are available for limited periods, and you cannot hold them long as they expire after some time
- Each customer is entitled to use one coupon only, and you cannot combine one coupon with another for servicing different parts of the car at the same time.
- Taxes and duties are not included in the cost of servicing, and the discount does not cover them.
- The discount is given for the specific items that are replaced and does not cover any other item that has to be repaired or replaced.
- There may be upper limits to the coupons beyond which you cannot get any more discount.
- The coupons cannot be redeemed for cash and the coupon issued by one agency is not valid for others.
About the agencies
All agencies that provide discount coupons are certified by the manufacturer. They employ trained personnel to do the jobs and use the most modern equipment for the servicing job efficiently and effectively. Using the discount coupons does not mean that the agencies will compromise on the quality of the job. Rather the more you use the discount coupons offered by a particular agency, the more familiar you become with their personnel and their way of doing things. You can rest assured that you will get quality service when you use these coupons.

Quotes & Highlights
Check out Counter-Productions Theatre's blog for updates.
The House of Yes is a glimpse into the lives of a well-to-do household where secrets and lies are at the heart of the matter. Director Meghan Hamilton describes the play as "deliciously debaucherous, an exaggerated example of what can happen when the skeletons in your closet are left to pile up for far too long." Witness what can happen to a person and what they can become capable of in a house where "No" is never the answer.
Wendy Macleod's dark comedy, The House Of Yes, will be performed by Counter-Productions Theatre Company at The Factory Theatre. The play features founding company members Alison McCarthy (Jackie-O), Brian McCarthy (Marty) and Christina Kingsbury (Lesly), and CPTC newcomers Harry Miller Hobbs II (Anthony), and Jenny Gutbezahl (Mrs. Pascal).

Judge defends release of woman
The Court of Criminal Appeals followed the law when it ordered the slayer of an Oklahoma City airport policeman released on bond, Judge Tom Brett said today.
Brett answered a political mailing made by Leo Kingston, Republican candidate for Oklahoma City's Senate District 44, which urges voters to cast a "no" vote against Brett.
Brett's name will appear on a retention ballot Tuesday. Voters will decide if he shall be retained for another six-year term.
Kingston mailed a sample ballot marking Brett's name and saying he ordered Rita Silk Nauni freed on bond.
"He also sent out a postcard saying I was soft on crime," Brett said.
"We followed the law passed by the Legislature that once the trial court has set bail and it was posted she was entitled to bail," Brett said.
"The trial court could have denied bail, but it didn't," Brett said.
The Nauni case went to the appeals court after the woman was convicted of first-degree manslaughter in the death of the policeman and the wounding of another airport officer in September 1979. District Judge Joe Cannon set bail at $100,000.
The bail was posted by two church groups and Cannon then attempted to set it aside. The appeals court held Cannon was bound by the bond he set.
Later, bond underwriters withdrew and the woman went to prison.
Of Kingston's attack, Brett said, "He doesn't understand the law as it applied to the facts."
As to being soft on crime, Brett said, "He just hasn't considered the entire record. We have only reversed about 10 percent of the cases we've heard." BIOG: NAME:Archive ID: 90224

Fresh from the biotech hub of San Francisco, Algenist's cream is loaded with a new patent-pending anti-aging ingredient that's a skincare breakthrough. The rich formula leaves skin feeling luxurious, while underneath the surface incredible amounts of reparative science are taking place. The best part? You'll see results within ten days. Who needs the fountain of youth when you've got science on your side?
It is a good cream. It is gentle on my sensitive skin. I did not like that it is very thin and doesn't offer much moisture. I didn't see any results during the time that I used it. I don't believe that I would purchase this product at this price point.3
The texture of this cream is fantastic! It's light, but it completely moisturizes my dry, itchy winter facial skin. The only problem is, I'm afraid it might be causing me to break out. I'll have to try it for a few more days to be sure.3

Snow Leopard :
Mac OS X version 10.6 "Snow Leopard" is the seventh major release of Mac OS X, Apple's desktop and server operating system.This version of Mac OS X focuses on improving performance, efficiency and reducing its overall memory footprint compared to its predecessor Mac OS X v10.5 "Leopard", rather than new end-user features. This is also the first Mac OS release since the introduction of System 7.1.2 that does not support the PowerPC architecture, as Apple now intends to focus on its current line of Intel-based products.Without any major overhauls to the existing Leopard interface, Apple has re-written the Finder in 64-bit Cocoa to take advantage of other new process improvements in Snow Leopard. These include:
- Stacks will allow viewing a subfolder without launching Finder. Stacks have also been modified to include scroll-bars for folders with many files.
- The default gamma has been changed from 1.8 to 2.2 to better serve the color needs of digital content producers and consumers.
- Contextual menus which come out of Dock icons now have more options and have a new look, with a semi-transparent charcoal background and white type.
- Expose can now display all windows for a single program by left clicking and holding its icon in the dock.
- Windows can now be minimized directly onto their application's icon in the dock.
- Faster PDF and JPEG icon refreshes.
- Artificial intelligence algorithms used for selecting of columned text in PDF documents.
- Faster startup, shutdown, installation, Time Machine backup and connection establishment.
- Smaller OS footprint on disk, freeing 7 GB or more.
- Printer drivers are now downloaded/installed only as needed, rather than installing all drivers and wasting disk space. The default install only contains those drivers needed for existing printers and a small subset of popular printers.
- When searching for a network, the AirPort signal bar places show it showing 1 bar at a time until it finds a network.
- Prefixes for bytes are now used in strictly decimal meaning when describing disk space, such that an indicated file size of 1 MB corresponds to 1,000,000 bytes, as commonly used by hard disk manufacturers.

Product placements aren't just for big companies anymore
Stardom is calling.
Product appearances in TV shows and movies are no longer exclusively for big companies with marketing budgets to match. Publicists and other promoters are actively going after small businesses for product-placement opportunities. And from Facebook to Twitter to bloggers, more ways exist to chat up and spread the word about a product after it's been discovered by the entertainment world.
The Journal Report
See the complete Small Business report.
Eileen Shields, a New York designer whose shoes were worn by actress Cynthia Nixon in the film version of "Sex and the City," says the movie spawned mentions of her shoes in fashion magazines and blogs—which led to more stores ordering her footwear, which is priced from $495 to $595.
"There was a surge in sales because of the movie," says Ms. Shields. "Stores wanted to be part of it." As a result, her business world expanded, she says, as far as the Middle East. Among her new customers: Saks Dubai.
Good Buys
For small companies on tight budgets, product placement may offer better value than purchasing traditional TV spots.
"With TV ads these days, people can just record the shows and zip right through the commercials," says Steve Newton, chief executive of Designers Surplus, a year-old retailer based in Braintree, Mass., that sells kitchen-renovation materials, such as cabinets, through its own stores in six states.
After becoming disillusioned with traditional advertising, Mr. Newton says he approached Hero Entertainment Marketing Inc., a product-placement firm in Sun Valley, Calif., that got his business an appearance on TLC's "Moving Up" home-improvement show.
"We hope our truck will show up well," says Mr. Newton, who expects a scene to show a Designers Surplus truck arriving for a delivery. "Being on the show is a chance for credibility," he adds. And all it cost, he says, in addition to an undisclosed fee paid to Hero, was a donation to the show of some kitchen cabinets with a retail value of about $3,000.
Often small businesses pay a publicist for arranging such renown. Like many, New York publicist Nicola Parish charges an annual retainer fee for her services. Ms. Parish, who obtained the "Sex and the City" cameo for Eileen Shields Footwear, says she focuses on emerging fashion and "life-style" companies. Retainer fees charged by most publicists for small businesses run to several thousand dollars a year.
Other publicists, like New York-based Terri Pitts, charge more modest fees, on a per-placement basis. Ms. Pitts is also among those publicists reaching out to entrepreneurs at a time when many big companies are cutting their marketing budgets. Her entertainment marketing firm, Ostrow Alliances, started a new division in March specifically to represent small businesses.
Although she seeks monthly retainers from large clients such as Sony Corp. and Sega of America, the U.S. unit of Sega Corp., she says, "We'll give small companies a menu or possible placements with defined costs" for each.
Recession Appeal
Some see product placement as especially appealing during tough economic times, because it's a relatively inexpensive way for a small business to promote its brand. After publicists' fees, getting a product into a film or TV show can cost as little as a few discounted samples.
That's quite a bargain, compared with the typical deals struck by large companies, which often have to agree to promote the film or TV show in large-scale ad campaigns.
"I couldn't believe 'Desperate Housewives' wanted one of my handbags," says Laura Bradford Godfrey, owner of claire v, a purse designer based in Roanoke, Va.
Ms. Parish, claire v's publicist, says she landed the spot by mailing a sample to the head of wardrobe for the ABC show, Cate Adair. "Wardrobe designers are always looking for something different and special," says Ms. Parish.
Ms. Adair quickly struck a deal to buy four of the same model, at a discount—a carryall dotted with pink flowers and fitted with circular handles. Says Ms. Adair, "Sometimes we like to get more than one in case something wacky happens on the show, like they get run over by a car."
Ms. Adair says she's always on the lookout for fresh fashion accessories to adorn her cast, and it's a seller's market. She welcomes overtures from publicists offering new items on the chance they might fit in a particular scene.
"I rely on certain publicists who I know to be tasteful," says Ms. Adair. "They'll send pictures of products and say, 'Tell us what you think.' "
But getting the product into the shot is only half of the battle for an entrepreneur. While the movie-going public didn't have to be told where to buy a Pepsi after seeing it featured as the soft drink of choice in the movie "Back to the Future," much smaller companies, especially new ones, have no such luxury. They have their work cut out for them if they want the instant fame of a successful product placement to last.
"They have to wrap promotions around that appearance to maximize the impact," says Caley Cantrell, professor of communication strategy at Virginia Commonwealth University's Brandcenter graduate program in advertising and marketing in Richmond, Va. "Getting into the hands of a star is just a start. To make that catch fire, you have to promote the 'as seen on' angle.'"
That means a small business must use fliers, a Web site and other promotions to bring its product's newfound stardom to the attention of retailers, wholesalers and the public.
Cookie Dough
Alexandra Bruskoff hired Ms. Pitts to help her Austin, Texas, cookie company after it was touted earlier this year on Rachael Ray's daytime television talk show as the "snack of the day." Ms. Bruskoff says the show discovered her cookies on a food blog. "We gave them cookies for the whole audience," Ms. Bruskoff says.
Since that January appearance, Ms. Bruskoff says, sales of her Alexandra's Cookie Dreams brand have increased and she has gained notice from several food writers.
"It gave us a name that people nationally can recognize," Ms. Bruskoff says.
But now she wants Ms. Pitts to put her cookies in the spotlight on other shows and says the publicist is currently sending samples to various celebrities and film and TV production staffers.
"I don't want to discuss which ones in case it doesn't happen," Ms. Bruskoff says. "I need to be realistic."
Ms. Godfrey, meanwhile, whose claire v handbags appeared on "Desperate Housewives," says she has included mentions of the appearance in samples sent to retailers ever since. A publicist also used that appearance as an entree for securing mentions in several fashion magazines, she says.
Now Ms. Godfrey has a new product-placement mission for claire v, and makes no secret of what that goal is. She has assigned claire v's in-house marketing representative, Kelly List, to pursue Oprah.
Says Ms. Godfrey, "That would be my ideal."

How many of you make $100,000 or $150,00 a year? In the last few weeks The Columbian has listed the pay decrease of 3 percent for the governor's staff that averages $140,000; some firefighters are paid, with overtime, an average of $150,000; next comes our city manager, already making $170,000, gets a 1.5 percent pay raise, plus benefits.
Thinking of this, in Peter Callaghan's Feb. 13 column, "Governments not yet ready to enter naming-rights arena," our legislators are considering the benefits of giving corporations, for a fee, the right to advertise their corporate names on taxpayer-paid hardware.
The reason this consideration is being made is the state is cash-strapped. By selling naming rights, it will take in easy extra cash. Will the bureaucrats decrease the amount of spending? I believe, even with the extra cash, they'd still bring the state back to the same position, which means selling our highways, bridges, parks, etc., won't fix anything.
Another Columbian story stated that government employees are 80 percent of its budget. Think that's ever going to change?
I suppose, if it keeps me from being taxed more, supporting a spending bureaucracy, I could call the Glenn Jackson Bridge the J.C. Penney Bridge.

HanCinema's Drama Preview 'My Love from the Star'
The teasers and promotional subject material out up to now are most commonly going for a myth melo tone. whilst the presentation and narrative taste have an air of seriousness around them, they aren't taking a look melodramatic or soapy, which would possibly mean we are in for an impressive atypical fairytale. If they make maximum out of the forged and premise without shedding the ball on how they use the fantasy element, this would finally finish up an overly entertaining fantasy romance series.

HanCinema's Drama Review 'Hogu's Love' Episode 5
I"m relatively certain this speech was once intended to make us see Kang-cheol as a bad guy. the issue is, the complete thing he says applies nearly perfectly to Do-hee"s situation- she has, in fact, been hurting other people, draining the system, and rather transparently planned to fail for the baby"s future. In the context of this episode, Do-hee never explains her movements even if a couple of characters call for one from her. Most frustratingly, Do-hee does give an explanation for why she became taking into account an abortion- and it"s by no means transparent to me why here is a applicable attention six months later when the baby"s already left the barn door.
What"s more, the twist printed by the finishing begs more questions than answers- and I don"t mean that during a just right way. I assumed Do-hee for sure should have had some ambiguous emotions toward Kang-cheol, given how all the explanations we were aware of at the time were just screaming that she had to get the abortion. yet it sounds as if their feelings are mutually antipathetical. Look, up to I hate to confess it, i must aspect with Kang-cheol here. Do-hee"s idea procedure makes fully no sense.
The worst of it's miles that many of the new plot issues here explicitly contradict the emotional points which made the closing episode so strong. About the sole sustained quality at this time is the humor- which is every now and then funny, but also similarly perplexing. What are we intended to make of Hogu"s strange delusion scene? That perhaps Kang-cheol isn"t necessarily wrong? That Do-hee actually is a damsel in distress? That Hogu isn"t as great as he seems? I truthfully haven't any idea- but it"s difficult to consider that the solution to this query is going to in any way be a pleasing one.
HanCinema's Drama Review 'Hogu's Love' Episode 9
"Hogu"s Love" is more and more coming off as a well-structured narrative. I don"t mean that as a compliment. I mean that during the sense that it"s handiest imaginable for the plot to transport ahead if the entire characters act in an incredibly specific, regimented way to scenarios which can be by way of definition supposed to be chaotic and uncontrollable. just about each and every scene here would move in a radically other direction if the infant just began crying. For the ones of you who have experience with babies, you can note that this is their favourite thing to do, and that the only in "Hogu"s Love" is strangely sedate in this regard.
For what it"s worth, i'm laughing. yet now not for the correct reasons, I think. I laugh at scenes where characters communicate to every other and explicitly indicate the ways that the tale doesn"t in point of fact make any sense. Hogu"s large war of words with Kang-cheol is hilarious exactly because Hogu"s logical deduction is in fact highly plausible. Given how little we the fact is know about Do-hee, from Hogu"s perspective, this makes best sense.
To be truthful I"m a little disappointed that the scene with Kang-cheol and Do-hee in the automobile obviously establishes that Hogu"s assumption is wrong. that could had been an attractive excellent double opposite plot twist. As it stands, I"m on no account certain what to make of the cliffhanger and the next preview. Which personality is meant to be in the right? And how is the plot perhaps going to make any sense going forward if we"re just supposed to reject the practical solution?

Because he hadn't played in a game in more than six months, veteran NHL goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov wanted to use his brief stay with the Oklahoma City Barons to determine how close he is to being ready for the NHL.
The 33-year-old Russian netminder looked much more ready Saturday night, recording 25 saves in Oklahoma City's 4-1 win over Abbotsford at the Cox Convention Center.
"This was a great opportunity," Bryzgalov said. "We worked hard all week to catch the train to see where we are and where my game is. Last night was kind of clumsy, as expected. Tonight was much better. But there are still some things I need to work at."
The Philadelphia Flyers released Bryzgalov from the final seven years of a $51 million deal. Ten days ago, Bryzgalov signed a one-year, $1.7-million deal with the Oilers. He's uncertain whether he'll report to Edmonton on Monday or play with the Barons Tuesday in San Antonio.
"Obviously with (NHL) teams having played 20 games, I'm catching up," Bryzgalov said. "I trained in the gym, but they were in training camp two months ago. I need to take more shots, have a heavier workload."
It was a good test for Bryzgalov. Abbotsford entered Saturday's game riding a nine-game winning streak, owned the best record in the 30-team American Hockey League and has scored an AHL-high 64 goals.
The Heat scored five goals against Bryzgalov to rally for a win Friday night, but the goalie with 208 career NHL wins stopped all but one shot Saturday night to end Abbotsford's three-week-long winning streak.
"Bryz looked a lot more calm. He was more composed," said Barons coach Todd Nelson. "He stood tall and made some big saves. I think he's on the right path on the way back."
Barons center C.J. Stretch scored his second and third goals of the season late in the second period to give the Barons a 2-0 lead. Abbotsford's only goal was midway through the third period.
Linus Omark, OKC's leading scorer, scored his 10th of the season, a power-play goal with 8:12 to play. Ben Eager ended any possible drama with an empty-net goal with 1:33 left.
OKC's second line of Stretch, Austin Fyten and Andrew Miller played well in both games against Abbotsford. Fyten and Miller recorded assists on both of Stretch's goals.
Even if Saturday was his final AHL game, Bryzgalov enjoyed the experience.
"This is a great group of young guys that enjoy the game," Bryzgalov said. "This was fun. This is a game we all love. I'm no different. When I was sitting at home, I missed it."

text: I installed last night from the KDE Snapshot 1 disc, and today I noticed that my kernel was i586. I wasn't noticing any actual problems, but from what I've read most modern Pentium-esque processors should be able to support the i686-PAE kernel so I wanted to try it. I just did "yum install kernel-PAE" which got me kernel-PAE-22.214.171.124-70.fc11.i686. When I try to boot this kernel, it seems to hang at the end of the boot process, when you would normally switch to the login screen. Booting single-user works fine, but then telinit 3/5 will hang. Note that booting kernel-18.104.22.168-70.fc11.i586 works just fine. My processor is an "Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P8600 @ 2.40GHz" -- should this support the PAE kernel? Is there some other way I should install it? I'll file this in bugzilla if necessary, but I just wanted to make sure I hadn't fundamentally misunderstood how this was supposed to work.

Saying it cannot keep salaries frozen any longer, the University of Washington plans to ask the Legislature to lift a pay freeze on university employees and to help pick up some of the tab on an increase — as much as $75 million over two years.
Although some legislators are sympathetic, it's unclear whether the state could afford such a boost, or whether it would be willing to exempt universities. Washington is already anticipating a shortfall of at least $1 billion for the 2013-15 biennium.
The university made "an urgent request for salary flexibility this biennium" in a letter it sent to the Office of Financial Management earlier this year, as part of its biennial operating-budget request. The UW's Board of Regents was to discuss the salary request at a board meeting Thursday.
The letter is not a formal request for state support, and the compensation scenario could change. In it, the university outlined two scenarios: One would give consecutive 2 percent raises in 2013 and 2014, and the other would give consecutive 5 percent raises over the same period. The 2 percent raise would cost $31 million, the 5 percent raise nearly $75 million.
The raises would not be across-the-board, however, and would likely be distributed based on merit, performance and other factors.
Weighing priorities
President Michael Young said he believes the UW is the only major research university in the country that has not given raises for four years in a row.
"The Legislature has to, at a minimum, lift the freeze," said UW Provost Ana Mari Cauce.
Gov. Chris Gregoire is reviewing the request. In an email, Jason Kelly, her acting deputy communications director, noted the anticipated $1 billion shortfall, saying it does not include "additional funding required by the court for a larger investment in K-12."
"The governor will have to weigh all the competing priorities before she presents her budget," he wrote.
State Rep. Ross Hunter, D-Medina, who chairs the House Ways and Means Committee, said he's sympathetic to the university and doesn't want it to lose quality employees. At the same time, there's a "reality constraint — I don't know if you've noticed, but we don't have any money."
The Legislature in 2013 must address a state Supreme Court ruling that Washington isn't meeting its constitutional obligation to adequately pay for basic K-12 education. That could cost the state as much as $2 billion more over the biennium, Hunter said.
Cauce said she believes the school is falling behind other large research universities, and the UW has lost some professors to other schools. "That ends up costing us a lot more than if we were giving raises," she said.
Washington's two other major universities are also addressing the salary freeze.

Given the following sequence:
"normal %(b)BOLD% normal"
I want to transform this into the following string:
In other words, '%(b)' specifies that all characters up until the next '%' should be 'b'. All other characters should be '0'.
I have tried numerous approaches, including using the RegexKitLite regular expression library but cannot seem to get my head around it.
Can anyone give me some pointers?

New 45nm AMD CPUs Coming in Q3 2009
AMD plans to move its production line to the 45nm manufacturing node in Q3 while releasing a few new 45nm processors before the end of the year.
In an attempt to reduce costs, AMD plans to move its production line to the 45nm manufacturing in Q3 of this year. The Sunnyvale, California-based chipmaker already has two products currently using the next-generation processing: the quad-core Phenom II X4 800 and 900 series (Deneb), and the triple-core Phenom II X3 700 series (Heka). From a price and performance standpoint, these two processors have helped AMD compete against its main competitor, Intel, in the CPU market currently dominated by the rival chipmaker.
However, AMD is moving additional CPUs over to the 45nm processing as well, starting with the dual-core Phenom II X2 500 series (Callisto), and the Athlon II X2 200 series in June. By September, AMD will have added the quad-core Athlon II X4 600 series and triple-core Athlon II X3 400 series (Rana) processors. These should help AMD fend off Intel's assault when the rival company launches its three quad-core Lynnfield CPUs in the third quarter.
In addition to moving its desktop CPUs over to 45nm, AMD also has plans to launch several CPUs between Q2 and Q3 2009, most notably with the dual-core Phenom II X2 550 and 545 hitting the market by the end of the second quarter. The third quarter will see a large helping of new AMD releases: the quad-core Phenom II X4 945 (95W) and 8xx (95W), the triple-core Phenom II X3 7xx (95W), the quad-core Athlon II X4 630 and 620, the triple-core Athlon II X3 435 and 425, and the dual-core Athlon II X2 250, 245, and 240.
According to DigiTimes, there are also plans to release ten low-power consumption CPUs as well, including AMD's Phenom II X4 905e, Phenom II X3 705e and Athlon II X4 605e. These round out to a relatively great release schedule for the second half of 2009. A little competition between companies only means better products for the consumer.

1DragFire24 , 24 May 2009 06:31So, what is the difference between a Quad-core Phenom II X4 and a Quad-core Athlon II X4??
Maybe lower clock speeds for the Athlon?
0wild9 , 25 May 2009 08:52You read my mind, DragFire. Naturally I am quite exited about more choice, I just hope AMD keeps the naming conventions as simple and straightforward as possible.
1pete3867 , 25 May 2009 22:37I think the athlons will have less cache and be cheaper , I cant wait , the phenom x2's should be a great chip
0Anonymous , 26 May 2009 10:56...small cache of course that equals cheaper...and probably lower clock and HT link and support old ddr2 only!
This is for the poor bums out there and the emailing mothers/grandmothers as for the rest we've got phenom.
1pete3867 , 26 May 2009 16:44as for lower clock speeds , I aint so sure , I think AMD has a good market profile with "Athlon" and they will be hoping to take some of the venom out of Intels upcoming releases .
In fact I think that in one years time AMD will be in a much stronger position than Intel (in many ways)

Nectar and Company's second annual Garden Market, a unique plant sale designed to inspire and create, was held at the Museum of Arts and Sciences on Thursday through Sunday, April 19-22, 2012. To celebrate spring and benefit the Museum, Nectar and Company sponsored two sneak preview events on Thursday, April 19—a special Lunch & Learn lecture and the Rhythm & Bloom party—to kick off the Garden Market. Tickets to these events were required to gain early "opening day" entrance to Garden Market.
Garden Market consisted of six enticing themed concept shops in a 60 by 60 square foot tent (click here for more in-depth information about the Concept Shops). Under the auspices of the giant tent, attendees were directed to these "shops within a shop" areas specifically designed to highlight the creativity and fun of gardening.
"Nectar and Company unveiled the hottest must-have plants at this spring's Garden Market," said Carmen Johnston, owner of Nectar and Company. "Garden Market's interactive concept shops taught guests how to make their existing in or outdoor spaces eye-catching, irresistible and contagious with this season's horticultural trends."
How to videos designed and created to show guests fun, unique and exciting ways to utilize the Garden Market merchandise were available for purchase. Action and cooking stations inspired guests to decorate and entertain inside and outside of their homes with featured flowers and plants. The shops also featured demonstrations by local chefs, kids' activities, and passels of suggestions for plant usage.
"We wanted our guests to be a part of the experience. Our featured how-to's, action and cooking stations made this more than a plant sale…this is an all-out spring garden event!" said Johnston.
Over the course of the three-day sale, customers listened to live music, sampled local food vendors, and attended educational talks. Lunch & Learn featured Jenks Farmer, renown horticulturalist and garden designer, who shared his experiences as a gardener. Rhythm & Bloom was a night of culinary delights provided by Feathered Nest and foot stomping entertainment by the Bo Henry Band.
Tickets for the Lunch & Learn and Rhythm & Bloom events entitled the ticketholder to an early sneak peak at this year's Garden Market, and reservations in advance were required for both events. Johnston stated, "Event attendees were the first people to view this spring's Garden Market concept shops by attending either Lunch & Learn or Rhythm & Bloom on April 19th."
All proceeds from Lunch & Learn and Rhythm & Bloom benefited the Museum of Arts and Sciences, and a portion of Garden Market proceeds benefited the Museum. Free admission during Garden Market weekend did not include admission to the Museum of Arts and Sciences.

As you will be aware, we were delighted to announce in January that James Timpson OBE is to chair PRT from tomorrow, 1st April 2016. We are pleased to tell you that our current chair, Lord Woolf, has kindly agreed to become honorary president of the Prison Reform Trust alongside Douglas Hurd.I am also taking this opportunity to let friends know of my own plan to step down in the summer as director of PRT. In a measured transition for the charity, this will enable our new Chair and the Board of Trustees to choose a new director, the third in its history, to lead our excellent team and make a substantive contribution to the proposed new prison reform bill and forthcoming white paper. There is huge scope to build on recent achievements which we have helped to secure from reducing child imprisonment to developing services to divert people with mental health needs or a learning disability into the treatment and care they need.I am tremendously grateful to have been given the opportunity, with your support, to lead such a good charity and to champion such a worthwhile cause. In over sixteen years there has been so much to learn from all those involved with and in prisons, about advocacy and the need to take a balanced, strategic approach, about the nature of critical friendship to a valued but beleaguered public service, about how to brook disappointment and how, hopefully without over-claiming, to celebrate the success of PRT with our partners and supporters.

Commenting on today's HM Inspectorate of Prisons report of HMP Wormwood Scrubs, Juliet Lyon, director of the Prison Reform Trust said:
"This shattering report on London's best-known Victorian jail reveals levels of Dickensian squalor which ought to have been consigned to the history books. Inspectors found deteriorating levels of safety, poor staff/management relations, high use of force, inadequate support for people at risk of suicide and self-harm and a prison awash with drink and drugs. Most men were locked up 22 hours a day and the prison was filthy and rat-infested. These inhumane, degrading conditions have no place in a modern justice system. No prison goes downhill overnight. Putting things right is a litmus test for a government publicly committed to reform."
