Mary Kuder found herself living a dream as a freshman at the University of Portland. Unfortunately, she discovered it wasn't necessarily her dream.
A highly decorated prep player in Seattle - she was Washington Player of the Year in 2003 - Kuder was on the radar for any number of top programs. She recalls whittling down her main choices to Portland, Santa Clara, Notre Dame and Duke, a collection of schools that in any given season might represent the field at the College Cup.
With the encouragement of her parents, she settled on Portland, but it wasn't a choice that left her with a deep sense of excitement.
"I didn't think very big; I thought mostly along soccer lines," Kuder said. "As far as academics, I didn't reach as far as I obviously could have."
Almost immediately, Kuder found herself questioning the decision. Soccer wasn't fun for the freshman and classes weren't challenging.
"I just knew I didn't fit," Kuder said. "The classes -- I didn't need to go to class. I don't know, it's fun for a while for classes to be easy, but after that, you're wasting your money, you're wasting your time. I didn't mix with the team well. It's a bunch of prima donnas on that team, not to call them out on that. But they're amazing players. I loved watching them. [Christine] Sinclair -- that was the highlight of my season -- sitting on the bench watching her and practicing with them. I got better in practice."
Midway through her freshman season, after diving into the college guidebooks all over again, Kuder sent out letters to schools like Princeton, Penn, Stanford and Yale, letting them know she was considering a transfer after the season, when she got a release and NCAA rules would allow for contact from those programs.
After doing his research, Yale coach Rudy Meredith couldn't believe a gift like Kuder was about to land on his doorstep.
"I called every coach that I knew in the Washington area -- club coach, high school coach, I even called the Portland coach," Meredith recalled. "They said to me -- normally you get a little skeptical about transfers -- but they said to me that she's a good player and she's going to play on this team [Portland] in the future. And she's a great kid, too, so you're adding a great person to the team."
Thrown into the starting lineup almost immediately last season, when injuries depleted the defense, Kuder has been a mainstay at outside back for Yale ever since. On the field, she is what you would expect given her personality off the field: calm, composed and quiet. And as her journal suggests, she is also now both busy and happy, having found a home at Yale.
"You'll find great students, great professors anywhere," Kuder said. "I don't want to put down Portland, because it's a great school. It didn't fit me, but it's a good school.
"People always ask me that. Like, 'They won the national championship the year you left.' I'm going to have a degree from Yale; I'm not complaining. I'm happy for them, but I'm very happy and proud of myself for getting here."
Mary Kuder agreed to keep a diary for ESPN.com.
7:15: Wake up, shower, eat breakfast at Calhoun while reading Yale Daily News articles about men's and women's soccer.
8:30: Spanish 132 (Intensive Intermediate Spanish). My Spanish class is particularly small, maybe seven or eight students, because few people are crazy enough to wake up early five days a week for a two-hour language class. I manage, because I use the same strategy for Spanish class that I do for morning lifting in the spring: Remain unconscious for as long as possible so that I can't truly experience the pain.
Language classes, especially French and Spanish, attract many different levels of experience at Yale: native speakers who are fluent but can't write, students with years of class through middle and high school, or beginners. I fall in the middle category; I was in a higher level of Spanish at the University of Portland, but Yale wouldn't transfer the credits. I guess that highlights the different levels of education you receive at the two schools. :)
10:30: DL lab to feed and weigh rats. As part of my major, behavioral neuroscience, I'm required to take a research class. I'm taking "Research in Conditioning and Leaning," a course that teaches you about various operant and conditioning theories, from Pavlov to Thorndike. Part of the class includes lab work with a typical subject, the rat. We haven't actually started any training processes yet, because right now we're simply acquainting ourselves with our rats and underfeeding them so that once training begins, food as a reinforcer will be more effective. So, in this visit, I just fed and weighed my rat, with this goal in mind. "Charles" weighed in at 270 grams. I'm thinking I already have the perfect Christmas present for my 7-year-old brother. :)
11:30: MCDB 120 (Molecular Cell and Developmental Biology) On Science Hill. I'm basically taking Intro Bio. I am one of few upperclassmen in a class full of pre-med aspiring, obsessive note-taking freshmen. The question that follows is why am I taking it? At the beginning of the semester, I made a significant change to my major. From psychology to psych with a track in in behavioral neuroscience. So instead of 12 psych classes, I am required to take six psych and six bio. So here I am in Intro Bio. It's a huge lecture class, where grades are based purely on four exams I will take over the course of the semester. I sit with a cross-country friend, and we take notes for each other when we miss class because of traveling for our respective sports.
12:30: Lunch with Tash, Alex G, Marcus and Travis (all three guys on men's soccer team) at my college, Trumbull. As often as possible, I try to eat with friends from the soccer team, because meals, unfortunately, are my best opportunities to socialize. A couple of my closest friends on the team are in the class below me, because I came to Yale, and was new on the team, at the same time as them. We talk about our classes, our workload, the team and our season, the weekend activities, etc.
1:00: Human Functional Anatomy: Taking anatomy is like taking a second language. My professor jokes at the beginning of the course that another name for his class could be "memorize 5,000 words." As dry as this seems, I really enjoy learning the names and functions of every single bone, artery and muscle of my body. This is the only class I have with another teammate, Mimi. Because my teammates are pursuing such a wide variety of majors, this is often the case. We have pre-med, pre-law, physics, psych, econ, history, polysci, MCDB, English. In fact, I have a hard time naming a major that one of my teammates doesn't have.
2:30: Usually, at this point in the day, I start getting ready for soccer practice; however, Monday's our day off this week!
Instead, I went to the post office to sign up for an appointment to get a passport. I'm hoping to study abroad next semester in Ireland, but if that doesn't work out, at least in the summer. Luckily, Rudy and Fritz are 100 percent supportive of hs players missing spring season to study abroad. They realize, along with soccer, Yale offers many incredible opportunities to learn, grow and experience life.
3:00: Power nap! I'm an eight-hours-of-sleep-a-night kind of girl, what can I say! If I don't get it, the power nap is my go-to solution.
3:30: Homework in my room: Work ahead in Spanish and bio. I have an exam for anatomy in a week, and my studying strategy is to get ahead in all my other classes so I can focus for the rest of the week on just anatomy.
6:30: Dinner with Lindsey Sabel (Yale women's soccer, '03). Tonight, YWS alum Lindsey Sabel had an informal talk with interested upperclassmen from my team about the benefit of networking at Yale. About 10 of us showed up, and it was very much worth it, because I left inspired that regardless of what my major is, or what my major isn't, my career options are limitless, if I use my connections well and start using them early. It was definitely a privelege welcoming Lindsey back for some post-YWS advice (a reminder that there is life after YWS, and it's not all that bad!) Although this particular dinner was unusual in that it was well-organized and included a guest of honor, it's very common for me to eat with a random group of my teammates for a Commons dinner, especially after practice.
8:00: Sterling Library with Tash and Zaria (Starbucks' white-chocolate mocha in hand) to study for my anatomy exam. 8pm -- midnight (or whenever I can't keep my eyes open anymore) is my designated schoolwork time. On the days that we practice, this is especially true. Tonight I was making about 2 billion notecards to test myself on anatomy vocab. With all the writing I did, I'm pretty sure I guaranteed myself arthritis in my right hand in old age.
12:00: Walked home, called my boyfriend (an 800-meter runner at Columbia) to say goodnight. Checked e-mail, text messaged Tash about what time to meet for lift tomorrow, got ready for bed, set my alarm for 7:15 a.m. and fell asleep in about .2 seconds.

Is there any cross-platform solution for preventing the computer's hard drives from copying to external media? I'd like to secure work machines so that data can't be transferred anywhere else (or at least all such actions are recorded), the issue is that some of those are on Windows, some are Linux. Maybe there are separate solutions for each of these?
I'm sorry there really no such method that still allows your computer to be easily used. If you want to do this....you'd have to NOT issue any administrative accounts, disable all the USB ports, disable the writable DVD/CDs, totally lock down the hardware so that another hard disk could not be installed, remove any networking, disable the floppies, put a password on the BIOS so that a different operating system could not be booted. Even then, there is most likely some hole that I have missed.
Thus you can but it would be a little severe and possibly making your computer not very useable.
As has already said, you cannot actually prevent the copying of the files. What you can do, however, is to prevent the usage of external storage medias. On linux, you can use this link.

A man who survived a 30-metre fall, landing on the roof of a
commercial building near Camberley, was an "informal" patient
at the Hawkes Bay Hospital's mental health unit in Hastings.
Emergency services were called to the PGG Wrightson Seed and
Grain Centre on Orchard Rd where the 30-year-old had fallen
from a tower, landing on the roof of a shed.
The Fire Service used a crane ladder to reach the injured man
before he was lowered to the ground.
St John Hawkes Bay district operations manager Stephen Smith
said the man had hit a cable as he fell from the tower.
He suffered serious leg injuries and was taken to Hawke's Bay
Hospital where he was in a serious but stable condition.
Hawkes Bay District Health Board spokeswoman Anna Kirk said
the man was an "informal" patient at the mental health
inpatient unit, which meant he was able to "come and go as he

Cnooc Purchase of BP's $7.1 Billion Argentine Unit Scrapped
Cnooc Ltd.'s deal to buy BP Plc's $7.1 billion stake in Argentine crude producer Pan American Energy LLC collapsed, 10 days after Argentina's president ordered oil companies to repatriate export revenue.
BP will repay a $3.5 billion deposit it had received for the sale by Nov. 14, the company said after Bridas Corp., equally owned by Cnooc and the billionaire Bulgheroni family, announced Nov. 5 that the deal was canceled for "legal reasons." Bridas owns 40 percent in Pan American and the purchase of the remaining 60 percent was pending Argentine antitrust approval.
The failure of the deal to buy Argentina's biggest oil exporter means Cnooc, China's biggest offshore energy explorer, may struggle to meet its production growth targets next year, according to Gordon Kwan, Mirae Asset Securities Ltd.'s head of regional energy research in Hong Kong. Cnooc shares dropped as much as 2.9 percent.
"It's going to be very challenging for the company," Simon Powell, a CLSA Ltd. analyst, said by phone today from Hong Kong. "Cnooc is going to have to try do more M&A deals globally to make up for it."
Cnooc dropped 1.7 percent to HK$15 at 9:33 a.m. in Hong Kong, taking its decline to the year to 19 percent compared with the 14 percent drop in the benchmark Hang Seng Index.
The decision comes less than two weeks after Argentina's President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, re-elected on Oct. 23, ordered energy and mining companies to repatriate future export revenue in a bid to slow accelerating capital flight from South America's second-biggest economy.
Government Intervention
The move by Fernandez, who nationalized the $24 billion pension fund industry and has moved to block foreigners from purchasing rural land since taking office in 2007, was a sign that she will likely "increase intervention and pressures on the private sector" heading into her second term, said Daniel Kerner, a Latin America analyst at the Eurasia Group.
"Bridas has informed BP of its decision to cancel the sale," Buenos Aires-based Bridas said in an e-mailed statement. "The decision is motivated by legal issues, the manner in which BP behaved during the transaction and its signing."
Ratings Downgrade
Pan American was downgraded by both Moody´s Investors Service and Fitch Ratings last month after the government's decision to increase control of export revenue. Fitch lowered its rating to B+ from BB-, citing "increased intervention" by Argentina.
Bridas said in its statement that neither Fernandez's announcement nor the economic crisis in Europe had anything to do with the decision. BP said separately that the sale, initially due to be completed by June 30, "had been delayed because the Argentine antitrust and Chinese regulatory approvals required."
BP sought to sell Pan American as part of its pledge to divest as much as $45 billion of fields after the Gulf of Mexico spill last year to shore up its balance sheet. The company has sold more than $19 billion in assets, excluding Pan American, since June 2010 and had about $18 billion in cash at the end of the third quarter.
'Not Desperate'
BP Chief Executive Officer Bob Dudley said last week that the stake is "not an asset we're desperate to sell."
Cnooc said in a statement yesterday that the decision by Bridas "will not have any material adverse effect on the existing business or financial position of the group."
"It's a short term negative for Cnooc, as the firm could struggle with its 7-11 percent production growth target for 2012 without this BP deal," said Mirae's Kwan. "Long term, investors should be happy to see that Cnooc is prioritizing economics over completing deals at all costs. Going forward, Cnooc must discover some big fields in deep water to sustain the firm's above-average growth."
BP shares have fallen 2.8 percent this year in London trading to 452.55 pence on Nov.4.
BP was willing to let the transaction expire after a Nov. 1 deadline and continue as a partner in the Pan American venture, a person familiar with the transaction said in September. The deal was opposed by Argentine politicians, the person said.
Bridas is willing to continue negotiations, the company said. BP said on Oct. 25 that each party would have the right to terminate the accord without notice after Nov. 1 unless both agreed to extend the deadline and that it expected the deal to be completed in 2012.
"BP will now be considering all its strategic options regarding PAE," spokesman Mark Salt said in an e-mailed statement yesterday.

The Movember diaries
UPDATE: Half way there and the Mo's are taking shape. How is your mo going?
3 days in and we are happy to report the "Mos" are going well (see pictures below).
You can follow our progress every day on this page with both Chris, Dan, Duncan, Ben and I posting daily pictures so you can see our "slugs" form.
We will also be regularly featuring the latest 'tache management gadgets, for those who want to keep their mo under control.
Why not grow a mo for Movember yourself and help raise money and awareness for The Prostate Cancer Charity here in the UK?
Currently around 30,000 men a year are diagnosed with Prostate Cancer and around 10,000 men a year die from the disease. That's over 1 every hour.
Movember plans to stop all that by doing for men what the Breast Cancer causes have done for women and clearly save some lives in the process.
It's not too late to start your own, or if that sounds like too much effort (perhaps having a mo will interfere with your job) you can sponsor us and we will dedicate our mo to you.
Come on, help give us a reason for wearing a Tom Seleck 'tache for the month.
As an added bonus - those who sponsor the TechMo team will get a plug on this page telling our readers what lovely people you all are.

Major gaps in knowledge on fish larval nutritional requirements still remain. Small larval size, and difficulties in acceptance of inert microdiets, makes progress slow and cumbersome. This lack of knowledge in fish larval nutritional requirements is one of the causes of high mortalities and quality problems commonly observed in marine larviculture. In recent years, several novel methodologies have contributed to significant progress in fish larval nutrition. Others are emerging and are likely to bring further insight into larval nutritional physiology and requirements. This paper reviews a range of new tools and some examples of their present use, as well as potential future applications in the study of fish larvae nutrition. Tube-feeding and incorporation into Artemia of 14C-amino acids and lipids allowed studying Artemia intake, digestion and absorption and utilisation of these nutrients. Diet selection by fish larvae has been studied with diets containing different natural stable isotope signatures or diets where different rare metal oxides were added. Mechanistic modelling has been used as a tool to integrate existing knowledge and reveal gaps, and also to better understand results obtained in tracer studies. Population genomics may assist in assessing genotype effects on nutritional requirements, by using progeny testing in fish reared in the same tanks, and also in identifying QTLs for larval stages. Functional genomics and proteomics enable the study of gene and protein expression under various dietary conditions, and thereby identify the metabolic pathways which are affected by a given nutrient. Promising results were obtained using the metabolic programming concept in early life to facilitate utilisation of certain nutrients at later stages. All together, these methodologies have made decisive contributions, and are expected to do even more in the near future, to build a knowledge basis for development of optimised diets and feeding regimes for different species of larval fish.

The 18-year-old finished a creditable 12th in her first ever Games at London 2012, breaking the British clean and jerk record in the women's 58kg event in the process.
Smith shot to fame two years earlier however when she grabbed bronze in the 58kg category at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi as an unknown 16-year-old.
Since then Smith has had her ups and downs, a temporary cut in funding for being overweight at the back end of 2010 a particular low light.
But, with her first Olympic experience under her belt, Smith insists she cannot wait to get back to competitive action even if she admits her peak is years away.
"This year has just been spectacular, it's all gone so fast though," said Smith, speaking at the Aviva School Sport Matters Awards at Lord's Cricket Ground last week.
"The Olympics were this massive thing that we were all waiting for and all of a sudden it's been and gone, it's hard for me to put into words what the experience was like.
"I was gutted when it ended but Rio 2016 is obviously the next big target but between then there are World and European Championships next year that I want to do well in.
"There are also the Commonwealths in Glasgow in 2014, I would love to defend my bronze medal there and with friends and family to support me that would just be fantastic.
"What I really want though is an Olympic medal and I'm still quite young, especially for the sport of weightlifting."
The 58kg was dominated in the past by China's Chen Yanqing, who won gold at Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008 and still holds the world record for the snatch discipline and the total weight lifted in both snatch and clean and jerk.
Yanqing was 27 when she set those world records but had retired by the time London 2012 came around, leaving the door open to her compatriot Li Xueying to take gold.
And Smith is hoping that her time will come, although she admits it is unlikely to be challenging world records just yet.
"For my first Olympics, to come 12th was a great result," she added. "Maybe some people expected more of me but it was fantastic for me and I was so proud to be out there competing.
"It was a fantastic experience, to be up against the best in the world and to learn from being around them, it was a fantastic opportunity for me to improve and think 'OK so I have not made it quite yet'.
"But now I'm so hungry to be at that level one day. At the moment it really is about building on what I have already got at this young age.
"I have not been lifting for half as long as most of my competition and most people tend to get stronger towards their late 20s so I'm ten years away from my prime probably, I should have at least two more Olympics in me."

Tuition & Financial Aid:
The tuition fee is very reasonable for the education I am pursuing.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
The value of my education is worth the tuition I've paid for, and my experience with the financial aid office has been well and they've helped me with whatever questions it is that I've had. The only thing that is bothersome is that there isn't much information available about scholarships or grants that are available to a person.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
The financial aid is hard to understand at first, but they give out a reasonable amount each time. Though as you progress through your career, the prices for the classes go up and then the financial aid is too little.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
The financial aid office has helped when needed.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
All fees, including books and tuition, cost me less than 2,000. My experience has been very smooth. I completed my FAFSA, sent it in, and that was it.

We've been privy to the ridiculously funny escapades of aging materialistic fame whores Edina and Patsy for almost a quarter of a century now -- during the original series and in various one-off specials -- but this is the first movie to come from the deliciously satirical BBC sitcom. Show co-creator Jennifer Saunders and sensational sidekick Joanna Lumley lead a cast that includes all the usual suspects -- including Jane "Bubble" Horrocks, thankfully -- and many celebrity cameos, from Kate Moss and Jean Paul Gaultier to Dame Edna and Perez Hilton.

Starting from uniformly random generated AES master key, is there a reference that prove that an specific roundkey can be considered as uniformly random generated as well ?
Actually, that's remarkably easy to show. The AES key scheduling logic is invertible:
Because that is a 1:1 mapping because the master key, and the 128/192/256 round key bits, then if the master key is selected uniformly, so must the round key bits be.

Can someone please tell me if it is possible to create a link through to an external website with NextGEN using the Alt & Title Text or Description field? It would only be for some titles that would show a screen shot of a website then I would like to link through to the website.
I have tried custom fields but things are going screwy with that ie. although the link works properly on the front end, the link repeats itself four times in the back end and mucks up the first thumbnail.

Flat paved walking path for a nice walk. A bridge to stop and look into the canyon less than a quarter mile in.
Andrea Peterson
1 year ago
Pleasant for what it is; this paved trail is easy and accessible for all types. Not strenuous in the slightest. It's a pretty decent running trail in addition to having great views into the canyons surrounding Los Alamos. Very little shade covering the trail. I recommend it around sunset, as it is relatively safe to walk there during the hours when it is getting darker, and it isn't as hot. Despite a lack of deciduous trees, this trail lights up with many oranges and reds in the fall.

Nice paved trail along rim. No elevation change, but a good walk. Nice 360 degree views. Wheelchair, dog friendly. Little shade so would recommend early am or sundown walk in a warm day. Enjoy!

Roe v. Wade at 40
As anniversary nears, more than six-in-ten say they don't want the landmark case completely overturned.
The Complicated Politics of Abortion
Following Missouri GOP Senate candidate Todd Akin's controversial comments about abortion, our summary looks at previous public opinion reports on abortion among Democrats and Republicans and in the campaign.
More Support for Gun Rights, Gay Marriage than in 2008 or 2004
Opinions about a pair of contentious social issues, gun control and gay marriage, have changed substantially since previous presidential campaigns. On gun control, Americans have become more conservative; on gay marriage, they have become more liberal.
Public Divided Over Birth Control Insurance Mandate
Americans are closely divided over whether religiously-affiliated institutions should be given an exemption if they object to a proposed federal rule requiring employers to cover birth control as part of their health care benefits.
The Generation Gap and the 2012 Election
In the last four national elections, generation has mattered more in American elections than it has in decades. This continues to be true as voters look ahead toward the 2012 general election. In a contest between President Obama and Mitt Romney, there is a 20-point gap in support for Obama between Millennials and the over-65 Silent generation.
Shifting Political Winds
Americans' are less discontent with the federal government but no more ready for political compromise. Views of Congress remain heavily negative, while Obama's ratings stay positive. On social issues, the public is, for the first time, evenly split on gay marriage, while support for legal abortion, legalized marijuana — but not gun control — have all risen.
Religious Beliefs and Political Issues
Religious beliefs continue to be influential in shaping some Americans' views about social issues such as abortion and same-sex marriage. Far fewer cite religion as a top influence on issues such as immigration, the environment and poverty.
Abortion Plays Small Role in Health Reform Opposition
While most Americans oppose government funding of abortion, concern about abortion funding plays only a small role in driving opposition to the health care reform legislation. If anything, opposition to reform has declined, with currently 42% in favor and 39% opposed to the health care proposals in Congress.
Support for Abortion Slips
The election of President Obama may have moved the needle on abortion opinion. Opposition to abortion is up among Republicans, while opinion has changed little among the president's strongest backers. As the importance of abortion as an issue has declined among liberals, opposition from conservatives has become more firm.

The popularity of mobile marketing has steadily increased over the past few years with both businesses and consumers. With more and more consumers using smartphones and other devices to research and purchase goods and services online, small business owners have to constantly adapt to meet this increasing need for consumer convenience.
Mobile marketing takes many forms. From text message marketing campaigns to barcode scanning to viewing product details or business websites, the ability to instantly reach consumers has helped many small businesses remain profitable even with increased competition.
barcode Scanning
AT&T (NYSE:T) recently expanded its presence in the mobile market by introducing new mobile scanning features for its barcode app that allows any business to create barcodes for marketing on everything from brochures to magazine ads. When scanned using the camera on an Internet-enabled device, these barcodes take consumers directly to the business' landing page, website, or latest coupon offer. From there, consumers can browse through products and service offerings as they normally do.
AT&T first introduced its barcode scanning app in 2010. At the time, the app was only available to charter members, but now any business can now take advantage of this app. In addition to creating coupons and providing instant access to business websites, the app also includes measurement features that allow businesses to determine where traffic is coming from. This means businesses will now be able to tell with more accuracy which ad, when placed in two different magazines, ends up enticing more consumers. Being able to measure the popularity of specific components of an ad campaign will help businesses better manage campaigns and reduce the amount of money wasted on bad marketing decisions.
Mobile barcode scanning is beginning to change the way consumers find and purchase items online and off. For example, if a consumer wants to compare the price of the same item at different stores, they can visit each store or company website or use marketing barcodes to instantly look up the price and other features and benefits of certain products. Having a variety of research options gives consumers peace of mind when it comes to spending money. By enabling small businesses to utilize this type of technology through its mobile marketing app, AT&T has secured its place in the mobile marketing movement.
Taking Advantage of New Marketing Forms
I think mobile marketing and other forms of social media marketing will become even more popular as technology continues to evolve. It's a smart move by telecom companies to pay close attention to marketing trends so they can provide enhanced services like this one to small businesses and large businesses alike. And since AT&T offers a wide variety of products and services in the telecom industry, expanding even further in the mobile marketing sector will make these products and services even more accessible to those that need these things most - small businesses. By participating in this relatively new form of marketing, a company will still maintain its relevancy and continue to provide plenty of competition for rivals.
For investors, this news won't cause a raucous wave of applause or even shock anyone, especially those who have invested with the company for some time. But knowing that the company is still trying to be innovative and provide enhanced services businesses can actually use is refreshing. I do applaud the effort AT&T has made to cater to this sector of the telecom market. Technology continues to change, and rapidly, so companies, especially those that provide services such as Internet and phone services, need to recognize these changes and adapt services as necessary.
Making a mobile barcode app available for all small businesses will certainly not make investors rich. But sometimes it's the little moves a company makes that really shows investors and consumers what the company is made of. I think investing in AT&T is a wise decision, especially for those that want a reliable stock they can hold on to for the long-term.
A Little Help from the Competition
Healthy competition never hurts, especially in the telecom market. Over the years, several companies have released mobile marketing apps. Verizon (NYSE:VZ) introduced its first barcode scanning app in 2010 and Sprint (NYSE:S) introduced its first mobile barcode scanning app in 2008. Other companies like Virgin Media (NASDAQ:VMED) offer barcode scanner apps for certain phone models including Android smartphones designed by Google (NASDAQ:GOOG).
Because the technology behind the apps is very similar, most consumers don't purchase a cell phone solely based on its barcode scanning abilities. But because one provider includes this capability on devices, then sooner or later, other providers will follow. And now that more and more consumers use the technology, perhaps barcode scanning capabilities will become more important over the next few years.
In my opinion, competition breeds innovation, which leads to technological advances. Adding a barcode app to a cell phone and then allowing businesses to create barcodes to market goods and services is a wonderful example of an innovative idea that lead to major changes in how businesses market goods and services. Without competition, something as simple as a barcode containing a coupon or link to a website may not exist today - along with cell phones and websites.
Benefits of Enhancing Existing Technology
Enhancing technology that already exists can also lead to innovation. And since no one can predict with absolute certainty where this new form of marketing will take businesses and consumers, adding new features to mobile marketing technology may lead to even greater innovations. AT&T has taken the steps necessary to allow more businesses to connect with consumers through its mobile marketing barcode app. With this success will be other technology enhancements or brand new ideas. The company, like the rest of us, will have to wait and see just how popular mobile marketing will become and how it will change the way we shop, find goods and services, communicate with businesses, and interact with other consumers. This is just the beginning.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Thanks for doing such great work thus far I haven't moved the plugin to my production server yet for further testing however I just have a few suggestions for Multisite Improvements.
Upon network activating the plugin:
"Amazon SES Stats" is shown on each sub-site - this should be shown in the "Network Admin Dashboard" (I know this can be deactivated in the wp-config however these stats are not relevant to sub-site)
"WP SES Options" is also shown on each sub-site
The following should only be shown in the "Network Admin Dashboard"
- Plugin State
- Activate Plugin (why dose each sub-site need to activate the plugin again after it has been network activated. If there is a reason behind this a general activation for all sub-site in the "Network Admin Dashboard" would be simpler)
- Sender Email (Only Name and Reply-to should be visible options on sub-site)
- Amazon API Keys (after adding details in config this doesn't even need to be shown, just hide it completely)
- Confirmed senders.
I know you have provided options to hide various areas however these options won't be even needed if there was an if statement to check if its a multisite or not then display the "WP SES Options" either in the "Network Admin Dashboard" settings or single site settings.
The above suggestions are simply to streamline the administration of the plugin and to avoid displaying data that is not relevant to unauthorized persons as well as to avoid having to perform the same task repeatedly when they can be centralized.
I'll continue to post additional findings as I test the plugin
