Okay I'm posting this up for another guy in another forum I frequent. Tell me what you think of it. What should he do?
On Wednesday October 3, 2007 I was on a ride in Long Beach CA. The ride meets at 9:00pm and start around 9:30pm. There are usually around 80+ people. No this is not Critical Mass so keep your comments to yourselves, we have already gone over this. Anyways, the ride starts and about seven miles in a car pulls into the pack. The lady starts honking and accelerating as if she is going to ram us out of the way. We were all riding two wide and not slowing traffic by any means. She pulls behind a friend of mine and begins to honk over and over at him. We are coming up to a red light so we stopped. By this time the pack had split up, most of which went thru the green. The lady keeps honking and my friend turns around to tell her to back off and suddenly, while making eye contact with each other, she accelerates into the back of him knocking him off his bike, out of the clips and onto her hood. This is all taking place at a red light, with about twenty-five people around, not including people in their cars. He picked up his bike and she continued to pull foward so he raised up his bike, never touching the car with it though. He was teling someone to call the cops as she tried to flee the scene. We blocked her in, took her plate number and called the cops. Some people on the ride ended up spitting on her car and kicking it, then bailed. We stuck around and waited for the cops. Before the cops arrived a random hero pulls up and blocks traffic. All he did was lay on his horn and start yelling. He finally gets out and starts threatening us saying he saw everything. There was no possible way he could have seen any of it go down from where he came from. He starts telling us he is going to **** us up and all that bs. We just laughed at him and pissed him off even more. One guy ended up getting in his face and made him back off. So the cops finally show up and one gets out immediately telling us to get our bikes and get on the ground. No big deal, they don't know what's going on. So one guy is getting his bike as instructed and another cop yells at him, get on the ****ing ground. And grabs him by the neck and throws him to the ground wwf chokeslam style. I asked that cop for his name and badge number, he just shaded off. They begin to ask questions and take our ID's after that. We told them exactly what happened and naturally, they didn't believe us. They told us we need to get jobs and be responsable. I told him I work at least seventy hours a week. He asked what I do and when I told him what I do he was shocked, then pissed when he realized what I do is a ot more important than patrolling the streets of long beach and ticketing people on bicycles. At this point they started asking us about our bikes. By this time the focus was not on the lady in the car intentionally ramming my friend, it was on us and how miscreant we are. Long story still long but shorter than it can be..... we all got tickets for no bike registration/license, which is not required in the city I live, and a ticket for no bike lights, which I clearly had. He hands me the ticket to sign and I begin to read it before I sign it. It pissed him off that I wasn't just giving into his bs. Another cop came over and suggested they take my bike, so they did. They took my bike, one others bike and arrested my friend that got hit. He was charged with vandalizm because of the tire mark on her bumper and the dent on her hood from where he fell onto it when she hit him. He was not read his rights and was handcuffed then hauled in. All while we are sitting on the curb the ***** that hit my friend is talking **** on all of us in front of the cop with her friend that showed up after everything happened. So we got hit, we called the cops, we stoped a hit and run and we are the ones that get arrested, ticked and have our bikes impounded for three months. The **** that hit him ended up leaving without a ticket, without a stern talking to, without ****. There is no record of them taking our bikes either. They made it sound like they weren't going to bring to the bikes to the bicycle warehouse like they are supposed to by what they were saying.
Btw, none of us talked back, smart mouthed or even got defensive. Long Beach cops are notorously ****ty.
Anyone with any legal advice or experience with dirty cops, dish the dirt!

I have a small system that sends about 15 email/day to my personal email account. I have set up the web form so that the users email is set as sender when I send the email to my inbox so it's easy for me to answer with just a reply. The problem is now that my IP is getting stuck in http://cbl.abuseat.org/ as a spam IP. My volumes are so low so I did not think this would be a problem and my messages contains no capital letters, no xxx-words or what I think are other problems. Just plain text with my users questions.
What can I do to prevent this. The mail server is on the same ip as my web server with the same domain, but the server that I'm sending my mails to is the one of my ISP. The server I'm using is hMailServer and it is basically default settings.

Her source of income is coffee which she has worked at all her life since her parents taught her to work the land at a very young age. Her fields are located 400 meters from her house and she walks there every day to maintain and help her crops. She also generates income for the household by selling tamales on the week-ends her clients being acquaintances, friends and neighbors. She also sells them at the football field on Sundays where she can make more money.
Her plans for the future are to become more technical with her coffee growing, planting a better diversity of product which will help at selling time as it will generate more income and attract more buyers for her product. As the mother of a family she supports her children in their studies so that they are well prepared academically so as to have better opportunities to integrate into society and support their families.
Susana is requesting a loan from the COMIXMUL co-operative to buy agricultural inputs that help protect and nurture her crops, preventing the spoiling of them by the fungus "la Roya" (coffee rust) for example.
Sus planes para el futuro tecnificar sus cultivos de café de una mejor forma, cultivando una mayor diversidad de producto el cual pueda ayudar mediante la venta generar mayores ingresos y principalmente atraer más clientes para su producto. Como madre de familia apoyar a sus hijas en sus estudios para que el día de mañana sean mujeres preparadas académicamente, con mayores oportunidades de integración a la sociedad y sean apoyo en sus hogares para con sus familias.
Doña Susana solicita financiamiento a la cooperativa COMIXMUL con el que comprara insumos agrícolas que ayuden a la protección y desarrollo de sus cultivos previniendo de esta manera el deterioro del mismo, la roya entre otros.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
These loans are designed for female farmers who produce a variety of products (onion, garlic, eggplant, spinach, mango, strawberries, etc.). Loan terms will vary depending on need, and borrowers can choose to make a "bullet" payment timed with harvest profits. Agricultural loans are considered risky in Honduras due to external forces like unpredictable weather and worldwide crop prices. As a result, many traditional financial institutions are unwilling to offer these loans. With Kiva funding, COMIXMUL will be able to reach more borrowers with agricultural loans tailored to their needs.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

"E-Light" is the next level of technology, which combines the advantages of IPL and radiofrequency (electromagnetic waves). Radiofrequency is independent of melanin and thus independent of skin type.

Making (Art) History Who Are the Most Significant Chicago Artists of the Past Half-Century? the Museum of Contemporary Art Names 150 of Them in Their New Exhibit
Valeo, Tom, Daily Herald (Arlington Heights, IL)
Byline: Tom Valeo Daily Herald Staff Writer
The Scoop
- What: Art in Chicago, 1945-1995
- Where: Museum of Contemporary Art, 220 E. Chicago Ave., Chicago (one block east of Michigan Avenue)
- When: Nov. 16 to March 23
- Hours: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays; 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesdays; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays; closed Mondays
- Admission: Suggested admission is $6.50, $4 for students and seniors. Members and children 12 and under are admitted free
- Parking: Discount parking is available in the garage attached to the east side of the museum
Great art is created twice - once by the artist, and once by the well-informed people who decide that it is, indeed, great art.
That is why "Art in Chicago, 1945-1995," should be viewed as a creative act. In it, 150 artists are enshrined, their greatness verified and certified by a selection process designed to identify the most significant visual artists in Chicago since the end of World War II.
Who identified them?
Ultimately, that responsibility fell to Lynne Warren, the curator of the show, which opens Saturday at the Museum of Contemporary Art.
But Warren is quick to point out that she was by no means the sole arbiter of artistic greatness.
"This was a team decision-making process," said the diminutive curator, who has been at the MCA for 20 years - longer than just about anyone. "When we started, we discovered there was very little literature on this topic, so I decided we'd have to go to the people who lived through this period. We did interviews, oral histories and archival research. We questioned artists, dealers and collectors."
One technique Warren developed was to assign "thought experiments" to the research team.
"I'd say, 'OK, you've got a cousin from out of town who is coming to Chicago and wants to know all about Chicago art - what would be important to show him?' " Warren said. "Or I'd ask them to imagine that they were artists from New York who were visiting Chicago. What would an artist like to see?"
To Warren's surprise, there was "amazing agreement" among the members of the team and the outside advisers they consulted.
"When we would ask, 'If you were writing a history of art in Chicago during the past 50 years, who would you include?' " Warren recalled. "There was amazing agreement on 95 percent of the artists. But selecting the remaining 5 percent proved to be very contentious, especially for the more recent artists."
Warren has found herself the target of intensive lobbying efforts by artists, agents and gallery owners.
"I think artists believe that being included in the show will enhance their careers," she said. "But many artists who have received such boosts from other exhibits have been forgotten. I'd like all of the artists in the show to be remembered forever, but it's easy for fame to dissipate."
Besides, Warren isn't conducting a popularity contest; she is trying to document the history of art in Chicago during the last half-century, and for that she must rely primarily on whatever fame and influence the artists already have achieved.
"This isn't a show about undiscovered geniuses," Warren said. "All of these artists have had public careers of some significance. That's why the focus is on older work that has been seen a lot, work that had an impact at the time it was created."
So, for example, Ed Paschke, whose neon-colored paintings based on photographic images practically defined the "Chicago Imagist" movement, has four paintings in the show, and three of them are among the most familiar images he ever created.
And Roger Brown, another Imagist whose vibrant, cartoonish images often incorporate Chicago landmarks, also has four familiar works in the exhibit.
But Chicago Imagism is well known - almost too well known in Warren's opinion. …

One of my Facebook friends, Ellen, asked the following, and I thought it would make a great Survival Survey question.
I'm in Alabama, where we are still digging out from the April 27, tornados. There are so many miraculous stories of people who survived with devastation all around. If you and your family managed to survive (like the folks in their shower stall that was tossed into the neighbor's rubble), and there was NOTHING left – car gone, 72 hour kit gone, bugout bags gone, your grab binder is in the debris cloud 40 miles away, there is not one brick on top of another as far as you can see, what do you do? Where do you start?
In this thought experiment, no fair saying, "I'd have a better shelter", or "My stash is protected". I'm talking about dealing with a disaster that wipes out all your preparation. These storms peeled pavement off the roads and carried giant trees for miles. How do you deal with it?
What a question, and yet, something we should all consider. It may not be a tornado that wipes out life as you know it, but all of us are vulnerable to something.
My own first thought is that my family would first rely on any and all help available, even though being dependent on others isn't something we relish. Hopefully, family or close friends would be able to provide temporary housing and maybe even a short-term loan until we could access funds from the bank. My second choice would be asking our church for help, and a distant third choice would be staying in a Red Cross or FEMA shelter. Shelters require that you give up a lot of your basic rights, and that would rub me the wrong way. If we didn't have a satisfactory living situation, I'd buy a big tent and camping supplies.
Transportation and communication would be two immediate needs. We would need to contact insurance companies and start the claim process as soon as possible, and then have a way to get supplies, provisions, and to and from our new living quarters. Additionally, I would get my hands on as much money as quickly as possible. We would need everything: clothing, toiletries, shoes, bedding, you name it, and we'd need a way to get to stores in areas unaffected by the disaster. We would also want to reimburse our family members/friends for fuel, food, and other expenses. It's possible that a local church or charity would be able to help, but that's not something I'm counting on.
As soon as we had a form of transportation and communication, we would start trying to track down our pets. School would be put on hold, but since we homeschool, that wouldn't be an issue for a while. We would have to become accustomed to being displaced refugees until our home could be rebuilt and would probably end up living in a rental of some sort. My husband would start looking for work in order to bring in regular income again until he could re-establish his business. I'd start blogging as soon as I had a laptop and an internet connection! You would all hear about my trials and tribulations!
Our emotional and mental well-being would take a serious hit, so I would do my best to establish a routine, get the family active physically, and look for ways for us to have fun.
To tell you the truth, I'd also be so ticked off that all my buckets of wheat and Mountain House food was gone that I would probably need to take an anger management course! I also have to admit that there are catastrophes that are impossible to prepare for. The recent earthquake/tsunami/nuclear meltdown in Japan come to mind. A mile-wide tornado is another. All of us Survival Moms prepare for the worst, but we should all think about the ultimate worst case scenario: having nothing left but the clothes on our back.
How would YOU go about re-building your life?

"Good Samaritan"
Before seeing there was an achievement for not killing the engineers I had been going around shooting them. So I just got the Naughty Naughty achievement instead.
I was playing through co-op with my brother and told him not to kill any of them, and when we got to the hive level he received the "Good Samaritan" achievement, but I did not.
How come?
Also, do I need to delete my save to start a new campaign over? Or will selecting replay mission from the beginning count as a new campaign?
Just wanted to know the best way to getting the Good Samaritan achievement and I did not find any other threads in my searches.
You need to start a completely new campaign and play it all the way through.
you may have to 86 your save & start over... all the unlocked missions will still be unlocked but as far as the campaign progression goes you're starting from the beginning.
I have not seen any...
Because it kinda says: "start a new game."
Thanks, must have missed that option.
Good samaritan question
when will it pop up im on the final clue one on the station i think so when am i going to be anle to know when i get it
Weird I got the achievement but you haven't :confused:
start the campaign again it isn't that hard :)
Yeah, just go to Campaign and select Prepare To Drop. It will start a new campaign with fresh data, the audio logs will remain with you and that's a good thing.
Also, remember that if you come too close to an Engineer it will explode, seeming like a suicide; don't worry this won't affect your Good Samaritan journey.
Also, when you kill every Covenant that is protected by one Engineer, this will explode too, and yes you're fine and still on track for Good Samaritan.
Might have to redo the campaign on legendary to get this.

you are viewing a single comment's thread.
You have to wonder sometimes what goes on in the heads of these program directors. We the viewers are at the mercy of these so called professionals and have to put up with the feed that gets broadcasted. I can remember numerous times when the sportcasters on Speed constantly lambasted the director for showing meaningless scenes of the garages when there had to be action on the track getting ignored. I think during the Spanish GP qualifying, the announcers were crying for some kind of attention on the track and all we got was mechanics picking their noses. Just kidding, but really. Isn't anyone in the booth watching the action?
I agree with you....who wants to see mechanics sitting around watching their TV screens when there is action on the track....I won't even mention the ad breaks....give the screening rights back to the BBC....I sometimes record the live showing then watch it as soon as it is finished so that I can just fast forward the ads. I do not know anyone who does not complain about the breaks

A Considerably Diverse Campus – Arizona State university has a diverse, but united student body. there are many different statuses regarding race, political beliefs, religion, sexual orientation, etc. Despite these differences, the student among campus still manage to come together and create a diverse but accepting community.
Off-Campus Housing:
Love Living at Home – I personally love living at home, I would rather live at home than spend unnessecary money for a dorm. Although living in a dorm would be easy for transportation to my classes, I would still rather be at home therefore I don't need to spend all my money.
Drug Safety:
The drug scene shown in Arizona State is not all that bad, although there are a lot of people that drink and smoke, but it all depends on who you chose to be around and who you chose to be friends with.
Hospital Internship – I currently have an internship where I go to the hospital and job shadow a nurse. It's a great opportunity but it is also very time consuming. I do not get paid nor do I except to, I am very lucky to have this internship, I have learned a lot from just being in the hospital, such as how the environment is and how to take care of patients.
Took this major thinking I was going into advertising, but marketing is really just about the statistical analysis of market trends. Business-y.
Campus Food:
There is good food available and enough of a variety that you won't go crazy. Pricing is completely unaffordable though, and healthy options are constantly being discontinued
Relatively Accomodating – If you are accepted through admissions, I don't believe they make you choose a major from the start. You can apply as a freshman for general liberal arts. You will start out with your Gen. Ed.s at that point. They do encourage you to pick a major from the start though so you can get a start on your core courses. Anyways, as for my major, it was not difficult to be admitted. For any language program, you are able to take a placement test if you think you can skip ahead to the 200 or 300 level classes. If you are attempting to enroll into another major, different schools will have different application processes with varying levels of difficulty. For example, some schools, like the Barrett Honors College at ASU is highly competitive and requires, among other things, letters of recommendation.
Health & Safety:
Pretty Safe Overall – I would say that ASU does make efforts to provide a safe campus. There are little emergency button poles/pillars all over campus and around student housing. Usually these pillars also have blue lights on them that are easily recognized at night. I have heard stories of a few violent crimes that have happened over the years, but from my experience, these are rare occurrences that only involved several people. They do have security that patrols the campus, even in the middle of the night. However, as petty crimes go, bike theft is a problem it think. It is a big campus, so many students have bikes. If you have a bike, definitely get a good lock. Even if they don't steal the bike, be mindful that thieves will be satisfied stealing the front wheel or seat, too.
Hot Hot Hot – Early spring and late fall are nice seasons, so when you are attending normal semesters, it's nice most of the time. However, from about late April to later September, it is very hot. In the middle of summer, it can get up to 120 or so sometimes. So, for zealous students pursuing summer courses, this can be a real pain, especially if you have classes in multiple spots around campus. (speaking from experience on the main Tempe campus).
Just Loans – The process was smooth, but all they gave me were loans. On top of the loans, they will not cover all of the tuition costs.
Intercampus Shuttles – The intercampus shuttles are the best option for transportation at Arizona State University. They are free to students and you can take them to every campus.
Overall Experience:
It's Great – Time here at ASU is great the school is pretty big but you don't get lost and the staff and students are very welcoming.
The process was pretty difficult you must have a GPA of 3.0 or better as was as a certain score on the SAT or ACT it is very competitive but worth it.
Health & Safety:
Text Messaging and Emailing Alerts – Texting and emailing students when there is an alert at the college or surrounding area
Student Intergrity – Student intergrity is a requirement of pursuing a career at Arizona University
Wireless Speed – Unfortunately, some areas at ASU have horrible wireless speed and connection. I could be sitting in a lecture and I would not be able to get connection to get on the internet either because of the amount of people in the room trying to use it or the location of the lecture room.
Health & Safety:
Personal Safety – I feel very safe at ASU considering that everywhere I walk, there are always police men and women making sure that the campus is safe to be on.
If You Love Lots of Hot, Sunny Days It's Great – Having to walk to classes in the months of August, September and April SUCKS. The heat is overpowering and it feels like you're in a giant oven. But the rest of the school year the weather is pretty bearable. You're in the desert, so be prepared to almost never see rain, but the upshot is that there's always stuff to do outdoors- games to see, mountains to climb, runs and bike rides to go on- without having to worry about getting rained out... As long as it's not in August, September or April. Then it's just best to stay inside until the sun goes down.
The Best Teachers I've Ever Had – I'm extremely happy as a political science major. The two classes I've gotten to take for my major thus far were the two most interesting, enlightening and enjoyable classes I've had here at ASU, and the teachers (Richard Ashley and Terence Ball) were BRILLIANT. I don't know if this is true for other majors as well, but personally I couldn't be happier. I haven't had any trouble finding the courses I need, and so far I'm 2 for 2 on finding professors who were funny, engaging, helpful and extremely knowledgeable about their subjects.
Wouldn't Change a Thing – Like anyone else, I have concerns about finding a job after college, but I'm pretty confident I'll land on my feet. Political science is one of the best majors to choose if you're not totally sure what you want to end up doing after college, because it gives you so many options. With a poli sci degree, you can pursue careers in journalism, public policy, non-profit organizations, law, and almost anything else you can think of that has to do with politics and government. This kind of versatility is also why ASU is one of the best schools to study it at. At the largest college in the country, there are so many options and potential fields of study that one would be hard-pressed to find something they couldn't do. You won't get locked into something you aren't sure about, and there's always a way to further specialize your particular focus.
Piece of Cake – I didn't have to do anything special to get into my particular major. I just talked to an adviser, told him that I wanted to be a Political Science major, and he helped me sign up for the classes. That was it. It's possible that I wasn't in a hugely competitive program, but from my perspective it was super easy.
Not Much – Its always sunny here but if there is rain, i just take the lightrail
Drug Safety:
Not Prevolent – It would mean to be a regular user or in the circuit to know what really goes on behind the scenes
Sports Pretty Darn Good – The sports are very varied and inviting. one has but to ask to be on a non-competetive team. Very recreational
Parking at ASU is organized caos. There are great places to park, but you have to get there early, and know where they are. If you decide to pay for parking there is no problem with it.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Arizona State is like no other university in the country. With a large, vibrant, and exciting student body that truly makes the campus unique, there is no arguing that ASU is by any means a boring place to be for the next four years of your life. As soon as you step onto ASU's campus, you will feel the immense amount of positive and exciting energy that gives you sense of belonging. Even though there are so many students around campus, you will be sure to find a niche to call your own. College is the time to find yourself and truly learn who you are as you prepare for the real world. ASU provides the perfect environment to challenge you to make "adult" decisions, and you won't always, but by the end of it all, you will mature into a dedicated individual!
Even though students will struggle with all-nighters, sports practice, parking tickets, and trying to recover from a great night, many of them couldn't ask for anything else. There will be times that you are drowning in homework and studying, but by the end of it all, you will look back and laugh. Your peers help you get through the tough times and make those social outings even more fun. ASU knows how to party hard, but when it comes to crunch time, we pull it off well. The kids here know how to have a great time, the nightlife and social settings are extremely fun, the academics are quite challenging—especially when you apply yourself and take it seriously—but most importantly, students will leave prepared for post-graduation and taking on the world. ASU is a fantastic place to meet new people and a great way to experience life in the great southwest. But don't take my word for it—come on out and experience it for yourself!

It started about a month before I even began riding this season, and believe it or not, I feel best when I'm on the bike. I feel nothing while on the bike, and it does not irritate it at all! The simple act of walking will set it off. I have no problems while sitting or driving. I will be walking along and then all the sudden bam! Like a bolt of lightning through my hip, I almost fell one time. It was just in my right hip, and now my left is getting sore, though no stabbing pains. I think it is from compensating for my other hip.
Looking it up it seems like it could be what they call a strained or stressed IT band. A hot shower does seem to make it better. Some days there is nothing and others I get the pain. No rhyme or reason to when it happens.
The muscle that it seems to be is the one you stretch if you were to cross your legs in a sitting position, placing your foot from the leg with the pain on the knee of the other leg. Stretching doesn't seem to do much. Walking with my leg fully extended and not bending at the knee helps it from happening.
Thanks for your help,

COOK — The Forest Service has given the green light for construction of a wheelchair-accessible fishing ramp at Drano Lake in Skamania County.
Daina Bambe, acting manager of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, signed the paperwork on last week.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing to build the ramp this winter at Social Security Beach, a popular bank-fishing location on the west side of Drano Lake.
The ramp is envisioned to be about 250 feet long and four feet wide, said Speros Doulos, manager of the four federal hatcheries in the Gorge.
The ramp will be near the water's edge with a curb stop to prevent wheelchairs from entering the lake. A 120-square-foot paved landing area at the water's edge would provide a spot to net fish.
The Fish and Wildlife Service has issued a contract to Five Rivers Construction of Longview to build the ramp.
Doulos is working with Yakama Indian Nation officials to remove two tribal fishing scaffolds at the site of the proposed ramp. Tribal officials in August prohibited scaffolds with 50 feet of the site.

New UW coach Steve Sarkisian and defensive coordinator Nick Holt visited recruits in Southern California with media present.
Washington football coach Steve Sarkisian and defensive coordinator Nick Holt might have committed a recruiting violation recently while visiting with recruits in Southern California.
The University of Washington said in a statement Wednesday that it is looking into the matter.
A visit by Sarkisian and Holt with quarterback/defensive end James Boyd of Jordan High was detailed in a story in Wednesday's Los Angeles Times. The story noted that the visit occurred with a reporter from the L.A. Times present. Also present were two other Jordan High players, including receiver Delvon Purvis, who is also being recruited by the Huskies.
That would be in apparent violation of NCAA bylaw 13.10.1 forbidding the presence of media during recruiting contact. The bylaw states that "a member institution shall not permit a media entity to be present during any recruiting contact made by an institution's coaching staff member."

The violation would likely be classified as secondary and the bylaw states that "violations of this bylaw do not affect a prospective student-athlete's eligibility and are considered institutional violations."
The UW statement said "the UW athletic department and compliance director John Morris are currently looking into the situation but have not proceeded far enough to come to any conclusions at this time."
Another possible violation detailed in the story is that junior receiver Deshawn Beck was present. Coaches are not allowed to have off-campus contact with high school juniors until after July 1 of their junior year.
The story mentions that Beck's presence would be a violation of NCAA rules but that he was there only at the request of the Jordan coach, who wanted him to get a feel for the experience of a recruiting visit with a college coach.
The story doesn't detail any contact between Beck and UW coaches.
The Huskies have already self-reported one secondary violation, in connection with visits by recruits to Washington two weekends ago. During those visits, recruits ran through the tunnel at Husky Stadium with a machine blowing fog and a siren blaring, an apparent violation of a rule prohibiting the simulating of a game-day experience. A Pac-10 spokesman said it had received UW's report on that violation. It is expected to be classified as secondary and will likely yield a reprimand and a brushing up on the rules by UW coaches.
Boyd is rated as one the top defensive ends in the country and has already given a soft verbal commitment to USC. However, he has also expressed interest in playing quarterback. The L.A. Times story detailed how UW was also potentially offering a scholarship to his teammate, Purvis, who is more lightly regarded, as an inducement to get Boyd.
The story was headlined, "The buddy systems helps in recruiting."

Steven G. Crane
Thanks, Shayna. Good afternoon, everyone and thank you for joining us for ModusLink Global Solutions fiscal 2010 first quarter conference call. I am Steve Crane, CFO and I am joined today by Joe Lawler, Chairman, President and CEO. In just a few moments, Joe will share his thoughts on the company's financial performance and the market environment over the past quarter and provide an update on our strategic initiatives. He will also talk about ModusLink's acquisition of Tech For Less, which we announced earlier today. After Joe's comments, I will review in more detail our fiscal 2010 first quarter results, which we released earlier today.
Before we start, I want to remind you that this call is being broadcast as a live webcast from our website at www.moduslink.com.
Please also note that the information we are about to discuss includes forward-looking statements for purposes of the Safe Harbor provisions under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements involve risks and uncertainties. The company's actual results could differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors that could contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those items noted and included in the company's SEC filings, including our annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. The forward-looking information that is provided by the company in this call represents the company's outlook as of today and we do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements made by us. Subsequent events and developments may cause the company's outlook to change.
During this call, we will be referring to non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure can be found in our earnings release issued earlier today, a copy of which is posted in the investors section of our website.
I would now like to turn this call over to Joe Lawler. After our formal remarks, we will be happy to take your questions. Joe.
Joseph C. Lawler
Thank you, Steve and good afternoon. We entered the new fiscal year reporting a good first quarter in the context of a very difficult global economic environment. Before we review the performance of the quarter and our financial results, I would like to highlight three important takeaways from our call today.
First, as expected, volumes moving through the supply chain are lower than at this time last year and therefore our revenues are lower than last year. However, sequentially we saw a good seasonal up-tick in revenues which were 10% higher than the fourth quarter of 2009 and therefore we continue to be guardedly optimistic that we are seeing an easing of downward pressure.
Second, we are pleased with the overall financial performance and revenue mix that included new engagements utilizing our after-market and e-business solutions, which are typically higher margin services with strong prospects for growth. Work mix and our cost reduction initiative are having a very positive impact on our business, contributing to gross margin increasing 500 basis points to 14.6% compared to last year. In addition, total operating expenses were down 37%, also supported by our cost reduction strategies resulting in a 4.7% operating income margin.
As we've talked about in the past, our cost reduction strategies and focus on higher quality revenue opportunities have positioned the company for significantly better profitability in fiscal 2010 and we are optimistic about the long-term prospects for ModusLink.
And third, we made progress with the acquisition component of our growth strategy with the acquisition of Tech For Less, which we announced earlier today. Before I talk about this most recent acquisition, I'll share a few observations regarding our financial results for the first quarter and Steve will follow with a more detailed review.
As expected, revenue from our base business is lower compared with the first quarter of last year because reductions in consumer spending have a direct impact on our clients' product volumes and the supply chain services we execute for them. However, our total revenues increased 10% sequential which is in line with our past few years sequential results.
Seasonality was a significant contributor to the sequential up-tick in base business revenue, which provides us some optimism that global economies are beginning to stabilize. Revenues from new engagements were lower than both the first and fourth quarters of fiscal 2009. I'll take a moment to explain what is driving that.
New engagements are typically secured several months in advance of actually generating revenues. For example, new engagements secured before the economy sharply declined in the fall of calendar 2008 and the beginning of 2009 contributed to our strong results for new business in the second half of fiscal 2009.
This past spring you heard us talk about delayed decisions from some clients which were therefore -- which therefore delayed the start-up of new business revenues. However, we feel very good about the size and quality of the opportunities recently closed as well as those in our pipeline and expect new business will make a far greater contribution to our revenue performance in the second half of the fiscal year.

Discussion in 'Writing' started by Starchaser3000, Feb 9, 2012.
Are members allowed to post them on this forum for discussion on a thread?
Yes, as long as they're your own.
If not, only post a small section of it (generally the most relevant bit to what you wish to discuss) and post a link to the rest of it.
OK. I have got two of them. One really positive, the other is more like a pro & con one. Can I post them in this thread, or should I just start a new one?
Um... *scratches head* Perhaps I should have asked why you wanted to quote certain reviews...
If you're starting discussions on other books, sure, just do a quick search (use the site's search facility) to see if there's any existing topics. If not, or if you feel your topic deserves its own thread, then post it in the appropriate section.
Hi, Starchaser3000.
I've been adding short reviews of my own to the "Reading in [Month/Year]" threads for years and no one's scolded me yet. (A few have agreed, a few have disagreed, and I suspect a few see them, think, "Oh, the wordy bugger again" and skip the post.)
I think the question is -- and you haven't answered it directly -- are these reviews of your very own writing? Or are you talking about quoting someone else's reviews?
If the former, posters here often add their comments to the "Reading ..." threads. Sometimes, if they want to initiate a discussion about a given work, they start a thread and post the review/comments that way.
If you mean the latter, you might be breaking copyright to post someone else's work in its entirety. Quoting a passage and making your own points off of that, well, that's usually considered fair use.
Just some thoughts.
Randy M.
Yes. These are reviews of my own writing. Sorry that I did not clarify that. So can I post the reviews in this section of the forum? Or can I be directed to the right one?
It depends what genre the books are.
Fantasy and Horror go in Fantasy/Horror
Science Fiction goes in Sci-Fi.
Non-genre works (crime, literature, historical, etc.) go in this section, which is the General Fiction one.
Things like Steampunk, etc. go where you feel is best for them - Gail Carriger's Parasol Protectorate is Steampunk, but has a focus on fantasy elements so would go in the Fantasy section, whereas Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan series is Dieselpunk with no fantastical elements, so would go in Sci-Fi.
As I said earlier, you should use the forum's search facility to find out if topics exist for the book(s) you've reviewed.
That can be interpreted in two ways:
1) "I wrote the reviews"
2) "These are the reviews of the books I wrote."
If the former, cool. I look forward to reading them.
If number 2, the moderators might look at that as advertising and that is generally frowned upon in this establishment. (An exception to that comes when a subject is raised and the work a poster wrote is a good example in discussing that subject.)
I apologize if I'm being pedantic or obtuse, also if my awkward sentence structure in my previous message led to your phrasing.
Randy M.
Yeah, basically I want people to help me compare and contrast both reviews. One is moderately positive, the other glowingly positive. I paid more for one than the other. But with the one that I paid more for I had a chance to interact with the reviewer via e-mail before my book was reviewed. In the cheaper review, the manuscript was given to some random person in no particular timetable that I never had a chance to interact with before it was actually reviewed.
Would it be OK to post the reviews based on this discussion premise?
Hi Starchaser3000,
I understand what you want to do. If you still want to post it after reading what I say below, go head and start a thread in the Writing forum and ask folks (other writers) what their take is on both. Make it clear that these are reviews that you paid for for a work of fiction that you wrote.
But, the sad fact is, whether you paid for them or not, reviews are reviews: high subjective and prone to errors.
I write reviews. And when I post them to Amazon or GoodReads, I am always amazed by what I see others say about their experience with the same book. Sometimes I think, are they talking about the book I just read? They can't be. But, usually they are. And the things they may have found utterly boring, are the things that I found thrilling. Or vice versa.
You just never know. Readers are individuals and their reviews will be biased. It's the nature of the game.
You make good points. But I found that interacting with the reviewer first to explain what your book is about before the review actually starts got me the positive review as the end result. Do you do that with authors before you read/review their work as well?
FYI - we are moving this to the Writing forum. We can just continue the conversation here.
Do I interact with the author before the review? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Either way, we never discuss the book. That's not my intention in writing the review. I want to read the book fresh, discover it on my own and come to my own conclusions. The thing is, the writer (and publisher, if the author is not the publisher) has to get all aspects of the book just right so that the reader experiences what the author intended.
You're concerned about folks not getting that your book is satire right?
What's that famous advice by some great author...subtle is fine, as long as it is obvious? Something like that.
I guess I should be thankful that I have not had a BAD review yet. But I know my writing is far from perfect, and I really think some readers could be put off by what I have written. If people are into the plot serious Game of Thrones type fantasy, then they would probably be insulted and revolted by my work for sure LOL
What the? Paid?
This goes against the whole idea of a review as I see it.
And beyond sending the reviewer a free copy there should not be any interaction. (Shakes head is dismay.)
Paying for a review is sadly becoming more common.
People self-publish stories and want to get the word out, so they pay a reviewer with an audience to write a review on their story.
It is, imo, a scam on the same size as self-published hardcopy books.
Can't argue with that. Some book reviews cost like over $300. The ones I paid for were like in the $99-$150 range. So I think I got a bargain in a way.
@holbrook:Thanks for your input. Yeah, I'm unsure on the rules and protocol on what makes a valid review or not. I did not know that interacting with a reviewer before a review is considered cheating. I just thought letting the reviewer know that my book series is a parody/satire of fiction/fantasy as opposed to it being reviewed as serious high fantasy helped in me getting a FAIR review. At least that is what I felt.
I had no interaction with the other reviewer. When I submitted my manuscript to be reviewed, I had to submit under the category of serious high fantasy since there was no category for parody/satire. I thought surely I would get a terrible review under these pretenses. But it was not really that bad at all to my surprise. If anyone wants to compare and contrast to know what I'm talking about then look at my blog here:
We've had this discussion before. If readers know that a review is paid for, they will not consider it a legitimate and honest review, even if it isn't glowing. However, these services appear to put up the review in places like Amazon for a fee without that fact being broadcast. I think it's a very bad idea to do and not worth the money for the value of the promotional effect, which can be got other ways for free, as I've said. However, if you want people here to give you feedback on these reviews, Starchaser, we'll allow it and the link.
However, this does not mean that everyone can start putting up reviews they get from everywhere and asking what people think about them. We are not a free review PR service. In this particular case, where the issue is paid reviews, we will allow it as a discussion about writing and publishing.
Maybe I should get me a slice of that pie lol.
300 bucks for a book review? Are you kidding me?
For that price I could speed read Game of Thrones and earn more then my day job...
Then I just write a negative review so the guy might even want to pay me more so I don't print it...
Video game reviewing is as corrupt as all hell but even there they don't slap money directly into the hands of the reviewer.
This new publishing industry needs a review base, but this idea of paying a guy for the favour of a review is just bound to be corrupt. You can't write a proper review when the guy you are reviewing is holding your paycheck.
In turn, I don't understand why people would care for what an obviously bought reviewer says about a book.
I give this book a thumbs up, but it has nothing to do with the 300 bucks that just got deposited into my paypal account.
Damn. I've been doing it all wrong! I've been reviewing for books I PAID for! Joke.
Yeah, I hate to agree with Zalz, but that's kind of how I feel too about paid reviews.
I read the reviews posted on your blog. Well, I read the first one. The good one. And I thought it was fair. It did point out the pros and the cons of the book. I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but just knowing that it was paid, I did wonder whether the person's final recommendation on the book was based on the book's contents or the fact that you might pay them again to review the second book.
Now, did you contacting them before they reviewed the book influence what they wrote? It seems so, because they the first reviewer compared it to other satire while the second one didn't (I just popped over and read it). But, that could be an issue with the reader's backgrounds too.
There's no way to know if these were 'honest' reviews. They seem to be good reviews, and you should definitely use them seeing as you paid for them.
Okay, that made me smile.
I know Kirkus and Publishers Weekly do this as well. They even allow the author the choice of whether or not the review is published. I have mixed feelings about the entire process.
Separate names with a comma.

Now or later: Sonics hold all the cards
In OKC this summer? Great, but there are advantages to waiting
The Sonics are headed for Oklahoma City. No one really argues otherwise anymore, and to quote my old pal Howard Schnellenberger, "the only variable is time." The Colonel probably never has laid eyes on an NBA game, but his words are apt. Here come the Sonics, this summer or in 2010. The only question is when. And the answer remains circular. The Sonics might be here sooner than later because they are willing to wait it out in Seattle. The Sonics hold all the cards. Most major-league franchises do. But the Sonics are in a stronger position to negotiate out of a lease than most: •They have the backing of the commissioner. Have you listened to David Stern in recent weeks? His remarks are becoming more and more pointed. Stern was blunt the other day, when he told Portland television stations that if Seattle's "expressed desire to bleed current ownership for three more years is acted upon, then we'll take the bleeding with them and the chances of there ever being a franchise in Seattle again are not very good." •They have a destination. George Shinn's primary problem in pulling the Hornets out of Charlotte was that he didn't know where to go and ended up shakily in New Orleans. The Sonics have everything aligned in Oklahoma City, from a renovated arena, to a negotiated lease to the upcoming NBA visit, which should be mere formality. The league's not in the business of allowing votes on questionable relocations. •Finally, the Sonics are willing to step away from the table. Seattle wants the Sonics to fulfill the lease into 2010. To which the Sonics can say, OK. Of course the Sonics would rather come on and get about the business of making Oklahoma City an NBA success story. But if the Sonics stay two more years, it harms Seattle much more than it harms the Sonics. Think about it. Sonics chairman Clay Bennett has offered a lease payout of almost $27 million. Bennett is not excited about two more seasons of hemorrhaging finances for a lame-duck franchise. But he also can't be excited about writing another huge check. He's been writing a bunch of those. To buy the franchise, to fund an arena proposal, to fight Seattle in court. What if Bennett says, fine. The Sonics will stay two more years. Stay two more years and leave in 2010 without paying a red-dirt cent. Leave Seattle with a debt payment on suddenly-vacant KeyArena. Stay two more years and let this revamped Sonic roster grow into a competitive team, which it is not now but should be in 2010. Stay two more years and slowly lay the foundation in Oklahoma City for marketing and promotion and business, rather than the big-bang process that will be needed if the Sonics suddenly escape the lease between now and July. Stay two more years and allow the Ford Center renovation to be completed without having to hammer and nail around NBA games, so that the Oklahoma City Sonics can debut in their glittering new home. Is that the way Bennett prefers to bring the Sonics here? I doubt it. I assume he would like to go ahead and launch. The Sonics will lose a ton of money if they have to stay two more years, although it might not be much more than he would have to pay to escape the lease. But clearly, there are advantages to waiting. Meanwhile, Seattle's only advantage to waiting is spite and desperate hope. Spite loses its savor when you realize Bennett's options. Desperation has its merits. Sports history is full of midnight deals that kept teams. But that's a serious gamble. Is Seattle willing to assume a debt on KeyArena, in hopes of convincing Oklahoma City owners to not take a team to Oklahoma City when NBA owners have given the green light? Doesn't seem prudent. So the Sonics very well might stay in Seattle two more years. Which is one more reason why they might not.

The Messiah before Jesus: The Suffering Servant of the Dead Sea Scrolls
The Messiah before Jesus: The Suffering Servant of the Dead Sea Scrolls
"The importance of this thesis for the understanding and interpretation of the historical Jesus is something of which all students of Christian Origins should take careful note. The book places a square challenge before those persuaded by a less apocalyptic/messianc view of the man and his times. I am convinced this book will become a pioneering classic in terms of the slot it fills in the field."--James D. Tabor, author of "Why Waco?
"This is a work of very high quality. . . . Knohl convincingly points out the historical event of a Messiah who predated the more famous one, Jesus Christ. . . . This is one of the most fascinating findings regarding the history of Jewish Messianism and the understanding of the emergence of Christianity. . . I am confident that it will mark a new phase in research of ancient Judaism."--Moshe Idel, author of "Messianic Mystics
"This tiny book will turn many heads. Israel Knohl sifts through a vast range of ancient texts in order to weave together a new chapter in the story of Jewish Messianism."--Gary A. Anderson, Professor of Hebrew Bible, Harvard University
"Israel Knohl established himself as a first-rate scholar with his first book, "The Sanctuary of Silence, on a classic problem of Pentateuchal studies. Here he ventures into entirely different territory and displays impressive erudition not only in the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Talmud but also in classicalantiquity. His bold and provocative theories are sure to elicit a storm of controversy."--John J.

Artist: The Strawbs
Album: Nomadness
Genre: Rock
I am the depth of age of the mountain
Yet still you believe to know how to be free
You are the life of the stars in the night sky
As constant much brighter yet younger than me
But I am the echo that calls you forever
The conscience that shows you the way to belong
And if you allow me I'll love you forever
And make you the voice of the words of my song
