PARIS (WOMENSENEWS)--When Michelle Detaille, managing director of Luxemburg-based industrial packaging firm No-Nail Boxes, attends professional meetings with her colleague, she is used to people assuming he's the boss.
"People walk up to him first. I have to explain it's actually me who owns the company!"
Detaille is used to being the odd one out.
She was the youngest member of parliament in Belgium when she started her career over 20 years ago, and one of few women in politics in Europe at the time. But while she says much has changed since she was a young politician surrounded by colleagues who could have been her father, statistics show women holding top-level jobs remain few and far between.
Today, two thirds of the European Union's managers are still men, and only 8 percent of women in Europe's top-200 companies occupy boardroom seats.
Overall employment trends aren't much better.
While women make up over half of the area's total population, only 55 percent of them are working for pay outside the home compared to 65 percent in the United States. Men, on average, earn 16 percent more than women.
These are gloomy figures for gender equality, but for European economics, they are critical.
Worker Shortage Looms
European citizens are living longer and fertility rates are dropping. If its population keeps falling, the European Union will lack over 20 million workers by 2030, warned a demographics report released this month by the European Commission. Unless new workers are recruited, Europe's economic growth rate--now forecast at 1.6 percent--could slow to 1 percent a year.
Bringing more women into the labor market--and that includes having more women at decision-making levels and narrowing the gender pay gap--is crucial to reversing the trend.
"Women must be full-time partners of the labor market," Nicole Ameline, France's minister for equal opportunities told Women's eNews at a press conference last week. "In this demographic context, if nothing is done we will reach a critical situation regarding the renewal of human resources."
European leaders tried to do something five years ago when they met at a summit in Lisbon and pledged to turn Europe into the world's most competitive economy by 2010.
A major goal then was to raise women's employment rates to 60 percent. Ways to reach this target included improving child care facilities throughout the union; boosting women's participation in scientific professions, traditionally male bastions; taking into account gender equality in all union policies and actions and encouraging national governments to make use of European funds to help smooth out gender inequalities.
Five years on, the results are disappointing. As the "Lisbon agenda" meets its mid-term review this month, women's employment has not reached the interim target of 57 percent and economic growth in Europe is sluggish.
Gender Institute Created
Alarmed by the failure to achieve its goals, the union chose March 8, International Women's Day, to announce that it was creating a think tank for European governments and institutes on the problems of gender equality. The gender institute is scheduled to open in 2007. Likely host countries include the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovenia.
"There is a need for getting data which is comparative to see where the problems lie," said Katharine von Schnurbein, spokesperson for the European ministry for employment and social affairs. "We really need to do something to get more women into the labor market at all levels.We need to take a broad approach."
While anti-discrimination laws exist in all EU countries, the framework for facilitating better work access varies significantly throughout Europe.
In France and Scandinavia, child care is subsidized by the government. But in Spain, Italy and Germany, where most child care facilities are privately run, only 10 percent are provided by the state. With German schools closing at noon, finding a way to combine a career with looking after a young child can be problematic.
Cultural differences also affect the extent of women's participation in the labor market. In Scandinavian countries, women's employment reaches over 70 percent. Women are highly represented in politics, holding over 45 percent of parliamentary seats in Sweden and 38 percent in Denmark.
The southern Catholic countries are very different. In Italy, for example, women in parliament represent only 11.5 percent of the total. Under half of the women in Greece and Italy work for pay outside the home.
Earlier this month, the EU Employment and Social Affairs Commissioner Vladimir Spidla suggested fundamental changes in European society were necessary to bridge these gaps.
"Politics alone cannot solve the problem," said Spidla in a statement after the release of the report on demographic change. "They have to go hand in hand with a picture in society that does not stamp out women who re-enter the labor market after maternity leave as bad mothers and men that take care of children as softies."
Changing Attitudes
There are signs that European attitudes are changing.
Female employment rates are rising slowly, nudging up from 54 percent of the female population to 55 percent over the last five years.
More and more women are pursuing higher education, entering politics and holding top-level jobs. The latest available European-wide statistics show the portion of female workers who hold managerial positions had increased by 1 percentage point between 2002 and 2003, to 31 percent.
There is also some evidence that men are tentatively but increasingly sharing domestic tasks, including child care.
Michele Detaille, who is in charge of 50 employees, said she is increasingly shifting the timetables of young fathers so that they can look after their young children.
"Looking after a family can be a constraint, but this task is being increasingly shared between the parents. Things are evolving slowly but surely."
And with the economic imperatives of having to get more women to work, gender equality has become a priority of the EU's employment policies and social agenda.
"Five years ago, I wasn't convinced there was overall gender equality commitment at the EU level," said Mary McPhail, secretary general of the European Women's Lobby. "Now I have slightly shifted my position in that you see anti-discrimination laws throughout Europe. You could say this was economically driven but it's not quite fair. There has been a gradual shift of mentalities in the past 5 to 10 years."

Thunderbird President joins Washington Post leadership panel
Online discussion established in response to global financial crisis
Thunderbird School of Global Management President Ángel Cabrera has been invited to join the Washington Post "On Leadership Panel" as a regular contributor to questions posed on the latest topics and trends related to leadership as the world emerges from the global financial crisis.
Cabrera is featured this week weighing in on whether there should be a Nobel Prize for CEOs, what the criterion should be and who, today, might qualify for such an award.
"The global financial crisis has provided painful evidence of the enormous responsibility business leaders hold, not only within their companies, but in society at large. Managers have incredible power to create or destroy value, and in so doing, affect the lives of millions of people," he says in support of such a prize. "A Nobel Prize for Global Leadership could help celebrate extraordinary individuals from large-scale business or social organizations who serve as role models and inspire millions of future executives and entrepreneurs to contribute to the greater good."
Hosted by Raju Narisetti, managing editor at The Post and Steve Pearlstein, The Post's Pulitzer Prize-winning business and economics columnist, On Leadership was established in response to the economic crisis and with the hope of serving as an open and lively forum for a discussion of what makes for great leadership. Discussions about leadership most often are conducted in the context of specific fields of endeavor — government and politics, business, the arts, education, the non-profit sector, sports and the military. At On Leadership, the Post's mission is to break down the walls between silos by getting experts and readers with varying backgrounds and perspectives to address the same topics at the same time and at the same place. The aim is to tap into real-world knowledge, understanding and experience and apply it, in real time, to an online conversation about developments.
Cabrera is a world-renowned global leader and management educator whose work and expertise has been recognized and tapped by top international organizations including the World Economic Forum and the United Nations. He serves as a senior advisor to the United Nations and in that role chaired the international taskforce that developed the "Principles for Responsible Management Education," a voluntary framework to promote global corporate citizenship subscribed to by more than 200 business schools worldwide, including Thunderbird.
An outspoken advocate of corporate social responsibility and managerial professionalism, in 2005 he inspired a student-led initiative that resulted in Thunderbird becoming the first business school in the world to formally adopt a Professional Oath of Honor, a commitment to social responsibility and professional ethics taken by all graduating students. Also in 2005, the school established Thunderbird for Good, a philanthropic effort to provide business education to entrepreneurs in developing countries. Since then, more than one hundred women entrepreneurs have been trained in Afghanistan and Jordan and new programs are under development in Africa and Latin America.
Cabrera also blogs about leadership in his Global Leaders Can Be Made blog on the Thunderbird Knowledge Network.

Green Dragon redevelopment project in La Jolla gets another look Tuesday
By Dave Schwab
Staff Writer
Running the maze of community planning reviews, architects Alcorn & Associates are progressing toward approvals that would clear the way for townhomes on a portion of La Jolla's historic Green Dragon site.
After two meetings last week, the project gets another look on Tuesday.
Last Monday and Tuesday, Jim Alcorn and Paul Benton were before the La Jolla Planned District Ordinance (PDO) Committee and the La Jolla Development Permit Review (DPR) Committee. They were talking about requests for variances, permits and construction drawings to build three, for-rent, single-family residences — the Jack O'Lantern Townhomes — on a prime, ocean-view site with existing commercial buildings.
The project site at 1241, 1245 and 1249 Coast Blvd. includes but is below the former Chart House now being remodeled into an Eddie V's, which is scheduled to open this summer. The spot used to be the site of four little cottages removed in 1991 and is near the heritage house which was turned into Brockton Villa restaurant.
Alcorn said a similar redevelopment proposal on the same site back in 1995 never came to fruition. That proposal called for four residential units. The most recent proposal scales units back to three, making the project more spacious.
The permit review committee deferred action until its next meeting on April 19, asking the architects to return with updated construction drawings matching those being submitted to the city for approval.
Alcorn said he intends to have the redevelopment project heard in May by the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA), which makes recommendations to the city on land use.
After lengthy discussion, the other community panel — PDO, which looks at issues like colors, surface textures and how a project adheres to local design standards, voted 6-0 to grant Alcorn & Benton's request to waive the requirement for retail use on the ground floor. Their motion also allows them not restrict residential use to the ground floor only, and allow driveways and curb cuts on the same lot no closer than 150 feet to allow individual, rather than requiring shared, underground parking on-site.
"I have no problem with the variances," said PDO committee member Orrin Gabsch, who had other concerns about the former Green Dragon site. "I think we need to study the whole site," he said. "I hate piecemealing this. We ought to be looking at the whole picture."
In reply, Alcorn noted the residential project on the property is "self-contained."
After the committee meetings, Benton noted variances are necessary for the redevelopment project because the former Green Dragon site is unique, not only being historical, but also because it has two "fronts" on Prospect Street and Coast Boulevard making it something of an anomaly planningwise .
At the DPR meeting, committee member Phil Merten said he didn't like the fact that curb cuts proposed for the site will eliminate one parking spot.
"I'm hung up on reduction of public parking on the street," he said. "The La Jolla Community Plan says we should maintain and enhance public parking, especially close to the coast. This is one of the most desirable spaces in all of La Jolla, and we're going to be losing parking."

The arrest this week of a Marietta couple on charges related to an indoor marijuana-growing operation may only be the tip of the iceberg.
Neighbors reported Thursday having seen numerous police officers at 1322 Colegate Drive that day and for several days prior. Police Chief Brett McKitrick said officers are conducting searches in the house and outside it but declined to reveal what they are seeking. The homeowner of the rental said officers were digging in the backyard.
"There's something more involved than the pot plants," the chief said, adding that his office is working with out-of-state departments on the matter.

The Marietta Police Department is continuing an investigation at 1322 Colegate Drive after a husband and wife who lived there were arrested this week on drug charges, but not a lot of specifics are being released
EVAN BEVINS The Marietta Times
Asked directly if they were looking for a body, McKittrick said, "We're not looking for a body now."
Later, he added that there was no body found but said he could not release anything else because the investigation is ongoing. He did say the case is not related to the recent discovery of a pair of bodies in shallow graves in Noble County, at least one of whom was allegedly killed after responding to a phony job offer on the website Craigslist.
One resident of the Colegate Drive house, Patricia K. Hodges, 64, was arrested Tuesday on a felony charge of possession of drugs. The next day her husband, Marvin E. Hodges, 66, was also taken into custody on a felony drug possession count.
The couple remained in custody Thursday afternoon at the Washington County Jail on $100,000 bond each. Their next court appearance is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Wednesday in Marietta Municipal Court.
McKitrick declined to release the arrest report, again citing the open investigation.
He said officers discovered about 30 marijuana plants in an indoor growing operation.
The Washington County Sheriff's Office has assisted with the searches, but Sheriff Larry Mincks said he could not provide information on the case since the city police are the lead investigators.
The Hodgeses are tenants of the house. The owner, Jeff Ferguson, contacted The Marietta Times Thursday, saying he was unaware of why police were still searching the house. He could not be reached for comment later.
Police Capt. Jeff Waite said Ferguson is "in no way, shape or form a suspect" in the investigation.
Neighbor Chris Sullivan said he's noticed the police activity at the house but isn't overly concerned about it.
"If anything was dangerous or whatever, I think they would have let us know ... either publicly or discreetly," he said.
McKitrick said whatever police are searching for does not pose a danger to anyone.
"Just looking for some evidence," he said. "It'll become clear here soon."

Looping text messages are caused by a network fault
It ain't the server's fault, honest
Acision's Steven van Zanen, was responding to a question posed by the INQ as to why several INQ readers have experienced an almost infinite text message delivery loop.
In such cases the message just keeps arriving time after time again on the recipient's handset. As the INQ surmised, this I because the SMSC is failing to receive an acknowledgement (ACK).
But as van Zanen pointed out, there's no discourse between two SMSCs - only the sender's SMSC is involved in a text transmission.
The ACK has to be sent from the handset and if the network is configured incorrectly, then it won't allow the acknowledgment through.
In the case of the INQ reader with an O2 handset, van Zanen pointed out that an ACK might go through as many as 50 hops to get back to the sender's SMSC.
But these guys don't sit still. Guess what? There's going to be an SMS 2.0. This will cover text messages sent over IP using SIP. And the standards are being formulated right now.
Some INQ readers may be puzzled to learn that Acision provided the first SMSC while the name is unfamiliar. The answer is simple.
The company is formed from various mergers. Ireland's Aldiscon - which we believe had the first SMSC, was acquired by Logica. And Logica then merged with CMG.
So two of the world's premier SMSC server providers have been merged to create Acision.
The turn of speed which these servers can now achieve is also impressive. Initially an SMSC could provide a throughput of 10 messages per second.
Nowadays a single rack can manage 16K messages a second. So it's just a question of how many racks do you want?
Oh. One last point. You don't get charged receiving a text message abroad as originally reported. A higher tariff onyour bill just means you've received a premium rate message (£1.50 in most cases).
And you only get charged that £1.50 jst once - after the ACK has finally made its way through the network. µ

- Randomizing a layer's movement
- Looping an animation
- Controlling multiple layers from a single source
Skill Level Intermediate
In the last movie, we showed you how to use Effect > Expression Controls to create the user interface for an expression applied to a layer. In this movie, we're going to show you how to use Expression controls to create one set of master controls that affect multiple layers. To do that, let's go ahead and close this up, Close All, just clean up our interface, go to the Project panel and this time open up 07-Master Controls*starter. Here we have a bunch of text and a bar created using shape layers that are all boring white. And we know the client is going to want these to be different color, and we know the client has a way of changing their mind.
So, instead of changing the color for every one of these layers every time the client does change his/her mind, instead let's create one set of controls that can apply to all of these layers. Now I could choose one of these layers to be the layer that has these master controls, or I can create a brand-new layer that has just the controllers. In one of the previous After Effects Lessons on parenting, we mentioned that null objects made great parents, because they don't render. Well, null objects also make great Controller layers, again, because you don't need to worry about them rendering; you can just attach things to them.
So I've added my null object. I want to give it a useful name, so I go to Layer > Solid Settings--nulls are just specials versions of solids--and call this MASTER CONTROL, click OK and turn off the video switch for this layer, because I don't even need to see its outlined in the Comp panel. Now the item I want to control is Color, so with my Master Control layer selected, I'll go to Effect > Expression Controls > Color Control, and now you see I get a nice color swatch here in my Effects Control panel.
Colors in After Effects tend to default to this really bright red, which isn't NTSC safe, and it is not very pretty in the first place. I am just going to immediately change it to a different color, so that you can tell the difference between this color and any default color from any effect I am about to apply. Okay, let's change the color of this layer, REASONS TO UPGRADE. As you might remember from the Type and Music chapter, the color of a text layer--and I'll open Window > Character--is actually controlled over here in the Character panel. That means this is not a keyframed parameter.
Expressions can only be connected to things that can be keyframed, so you cannot directly control the color in the Character panel using expressions. I'll tidy this up. However, you can apply an effect and use an expression to control the effect. In this case, I want to fill this with the color. I can never remember which effect category Fill is under, so I am going to go to my Effects & Presets panel and type into the search box up top, fill. There it is, it's underneath generate. I always forget that.
I'll apply to REASONS TO UPGRADE. You see that it has that lovely default red. Type E to reveal it in the Effects Control panel and twirl it open so I've got that color exposed. What I want to do is connect this master color control to the color for this fill. To do that, just like any other expression, I'll hold down Option on Mac, Alt on Windows, click on the stopwatch next to the color, I have got my little pick whip, and I'll just drag it to the color on my master control.
I can press Enter on numeric keypad or just click off somewhere, and now you see that that text has taken on the color of my master control. And just to verify that's working, you can actually click on the swatch and drag right down here on the Timeline panel and you can see that this type changes to match that color that I am changing my master controller to. I'll put over there to a more orangey color, release, and now you can see it's automatically changed. Let's wire up another layer. This underscore is actually created with something called a shape layer.
Now, shapes are something we'll dive into in a future After Effects Apprentice lesson, but shape layers typically contain strokes and fills. In this case, it's just a simple line that's been stroked. I'll twirl that open, and lo and behold, it has a stroke color. Well, if I can keyframe it, I can attach an expression to it. Option+Click or Alt+Click. I have got the beginning of an expression. I grab my pick whip and drag it up to my color master control, click off to accept, and now you will see my stroke has taken on the same color as my master control, and I think if I change its color, both my stroke and my text change, very cool! Now you might be thing next, you just have to do the exact same thing for these three remaining text layers. Not true.
As you well know, effects can be copied and pasted between layers. Whenever you copy and paste an effect, any keyframes attached come along as well. It's no different for expressions. An expression attached to layer will also come along. So let's go ahead and select fill, Command+C or Ctrl+C to copy, go to these other layers, and then paste, paste that one, paste that line of text and then that line of text. But once I've done that, I'll go up to my master control, click on the swatch, open up my Color Picker dialog, and now I can interactively change the color for all of my layers at once, from one master control.
And trust me, this will save you so much time when a client is changing their mind about what color they want things to be. If you tie everything to one master controller, you just need to change one color instead of the color for every single layer. This has saved us lots of times on jobs as well. I click OK. By the way, one more trick I'll show you, normally when you would select a layer, the Effect Control panel changes to show the effects attached to that layer. However, the Effects Control panel does have a lock icon. So if I was to lock this layer and select another layer, that master control will remain up in the Effects Control panel.
So even though I might be working with other layers and have them selected, I can still go back up here, change my color, and everybody will update, even though that wasn't the layer that was selected up in the Effects Controls. And oh yes, color does have a little animation stopwatch and you can keyframe it as well. So you have seen how to type in expressions. You've seen how to use Effect > Expression Controls to add a user interface to expression. Well, there is yet one more trick, and that's using the sound to control your expressions.
But that requires a couple more steps. We'll show that in the next movie.

SIKESTON -- Marianne Lumsden always knew she wanted to work in communications, but little did the former Southeast Missouri resident know, one day she'd be involved in helping speed up military communication in a war zone.
In February 2006 at Quantico, Va., Marine Base, Lumsden and 27 others, began a three-year joint initiative to develop a standardized communications system for all four military branches.
"We (in the military) like rules and regulations and guidelines, and that's what this system provides," said Lumsden, a major in the Air Force, who helped write the standard procedure for the system.
Lumsden has served tours of duty in Kosovo in 1999, in Bahrain in 2003 and in Iraq in 2006 and 2007 so she knows firsthand the communication difficulties often faced by troops.
"In Iraq, where we had troops on two sides of a river, you couldn't see visually which were friendly or enemy. You can see movement, but you can't see which ones are friendly or enemy," Lumsden said. "We would try to communicate by e-mail, and it could take hours or a day. By then, the troops have moved. We need immediate communication."
Because the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines have historically been set up on different computers, routers and networks, it can often delay communication. That's why the Joint Mobile Network Operations project was developed -- to create a universal system for all branches to use in the field and improve communication, Lumsden said.
With less than a year to complete the project, feedback from troops of the various military branches who are testing the system in the field has been positive, Lumsden said.
"We're also testing (the system) throughout the States. We want to make sure they can read the procedures, and it is clear to them because we want a really good system," the lead information technologist said.
Besides being used in a war zone, the standardized communications system can be used by the Department of Defense at every level, Lumsden said.
Lumsden, who attended grade school in Chaffee and high school in Broseley, admitted working in communications for the military was never on her agenda.
"When I was in high school, I took a bookkeeping course, and I always wanted to work in computers. That was my goal. I was going to be a computer person for IBM," Lumsden said.
But at the suggestion of her father, John Lumsden of Poplar Bluff, Lumsden checked into the Reserve Officers'Training Corps.
"My father served in the Air Force during the Korean War. That's what inspired me," Lumsden said about how she got her start in the military.
She recalled being with her father at freshman orientation at Southeast Missouri State University in the 1980s.
"I was in some other meeting, and Dad comes in with an ROTC representative and said, 'There's no commitment' and 'just take the classes.' I went ahead and signed up for the course. They offered a great scholarship, and I thought, 'I can do this for a few years," Lumsden said.
Lumsden received her commission in the Air Force in 1989. Her undergraduate degree is in computer programming; she earned a master's degree from the University of Southern California in 1997.
Most of Lumsden's assignments over the years have been purchasing major computer systems for the government and leading communication duties, such as writing computer programs, she said.
Rosemary Lumsden of Sikeston said her daughter is doing what she wants to do.
"She's always been dedicated to pursuing what her goals were. I'm learning from her and honored to be her mother," she said.
Due to retire in April 2010, Lumsden said she hopes to find a Department of Defense civilian job, working in communications or information technology acquisition.
But for now, Lumsden, who lives in Fredericksburg, Va., said she's happy knowing she's had a hand in improving communication for all military personnel.
She said: "It does feel good."

Just when we were feeling a bit sorry for HTC after leaks have almost taken away all possible surprises for its upcoming smartphone, the company itself "leaks" out on its own. Now available on Google Play Store are two crucial pieces of HTC's software ecosystem, the BlinkFeed launcher and a rather mysterious Service Pack.
Granted, the apps aren't really available for any other smartphone, not even the old HTC One. This could mean that the apps are only compatible for the New HTC One. Regardless of their compatibility, their sudden appearance does somewhat build up the tension around HTC's scheduled event on this Tuesday.
The apps themselves don't really reveal anything new that we haven't already been aware of, thanks to the numerous leaks and tips leading up to this moment. The Service Pack screenshots do betray the presence of on-screen navigation keyboards that have been believed to be one of the important changes in the All New HTC One. They're existence as separate apps on Google Play Store does imply that HTC will be providing updates via Google's app ecosystem rather than the previous practice of baking them into firmware updates, which, more often than not, costs more time and effort to release.
We're just hours away from the anticipated event and the pieces are all in place. The mobile world will be watching with eager or critical eyes on the smartphone that could make or break HTC's spot in the industry, especially in the US.

>Is there any benefit to running the NetBackup master/media server on a Linux
>box rather than Windows?
I currently run NB5.1MP3 on windows servers. I'm a Unix admin so I might
be biased but I find windows is not such a good platform for NB. My main
issue right now (which I'm posting separately about) is that it's hard to
control access to the windows server. For example, our windows servers do
not normally allow users to login to them (interactive login is disabled)
and managing NB with this policy in place is proving to be troublesome.
I can't run the Java client because it only runs for users with interactive
login privileges and local administrator access (we can't grant either of
those privileges to our operators) and running the administration console
requires registering each operator's PC as a NetBackup server!! It also
means that *anyone* who logs in to that operator's PC could have complete
access to NetBackup. Some of these problems would exist on a Unix system
as well but at least on Unix you can script around it using shell scripts
and sudo if necessary.
If I had to do this deployment again I'd have used at least Linux and probably
Sun V240's.

For the past three hours I've been trying to figure out why the changes I was making to my Menus were not appearing on my site.
It turned out to be this plugin !!
Every change you make to your menu, whilst this plugin is activated, is set to be published in the future ! But there would be no way of knowing that, unless you looked at your mysql database which is eventually what I did and found the nav_menu_item showing as "future" rather than "open".

Definition of nematocide in English:
(also nematicide)
A substance used to kill nematode worms.
Example sentences
- Only one nematicide (aldicarb, Temik 15G) appears to be economical for control of SCN under Ohio conditions, but it will likely be removed from the market.
- Injection or incorporation into the soil, as in the case of nematicides, makes the pesticide most readily available for leaching.
- Second, it is difficult, but not impossible, to grow great roses without the use of chemical pesticides, such as insecticides, miticides, fungicides, nematicides and acaracides (spiders).
- Example sentences
- The nematocidal drug ivermectin is believed to kill worms by opening a glutamate-gated chloride channel on pharyngeal muscle, causing complete pumping inhibition.
- A constituent that has no nematocidal activity may produce bursting when combined with a nematocidal agent.
- The present invention relates to a new nematocidal agent particularly useful against plant parasitic nematodes and also to a process to prevent damage resulting from nematode infection.

In 1933, Charles Darrow, an unemployed heating salesman, was sitting at his dining room table at his home in Germantown, Pa., when he suddenly came up with an idea of inventing a board game with the object of buying and selling property, better known all over the world today as the game "Monopoly."
Darrow's original handmade version of the game, laid out with pen and ink on a flexible round piece of oil-cloth, and contain more than 200 pieces, including playing cards, hotels and bank notes, sold at Sotheby's Auctions in New York in December for $146,500.
Readers, long before Parker Brothers Games bought out the rights to Darrow's invention in 1935, making him the first millionaire game designer, Darrow produced 5,000 copies of the game himself that were sold in white boxes in 1934 to Wanamaker's Department Store in Philadelphia. A few of these games have surfaced through the years and sold at auction for high prices, but others are still out there worth hundreds of dollars just waiting to be found. If you happen to run across a plain white box in your attic, be sure to write me. I have a buyer with big bucks willing to take it off your hands.
Digging down in the mailbag:
Question: I read your article where, "A cow jumped over the moon," cookie jar made by American Bisque in Williamstown sold at auction in 2010 for only $416. I have a 2007 price guide book that tells me it's worth much more than that. Can you explain this? - D.E., Marietta.
Answer: Despite an increase of people collecting cookie jars, the prices on them have been declining for several years now. Many jars that sold for hundreds of dollars during the 1990s can now be had for a fraction of the cost. This is largely due to three reasons - 1. the large number of new jar designs on the market today; 2. a multitude of fakes and counterfeits flooding the market; and finally, No. 3. eBay. These jars are now showing up on eBay, often in multiples. The law of supply and demand takes over, and the prices for authentic vintage cookie jars decline in value.
Q: My brother has a "Superman" metal lunch box that he carried every day to Harmar grade school in the '50s. Can you tell me what it is worth, and where to sell it? - V.E., Marietta.
A.: Universal Products made a Superman metal lunch box in 1954. One of these lunch boxes sold in 2009 for $4,500 at Hakes Auction House in York, Pa. Is the lunch box in good condition? If it is, you may want to call Hakes Auctions at (717) 434-1600, or e-mail them at email@example.com. Let me know the results.
Q.: I have an old wooden smoking stand with a metal ashtray in the center of it. Can you tell me who made it from the photo, and what it is worth? - T.W, Devola.
A.: Patterns for wooden smoking stands were printed in magazines and craft books around 1930. Hobbyists used the printed patterns to cut the shape, then attached a base and either a metal ashtray or a piece of wood to hold the ashtray. Your 32-inch smoking stand, depicting a blackman bellhop, is worth $200.

When Margie Ellis was in 3rd grade, she had a teacher that asked each of her students what they wanted to be when they grew up. Margie distinctly recalls telling her classmates that she was going to be an artist. Well, it took her many years to get where she is today, but most assuredly, this 1980 graduate of Lincoln Southeast High School is an artist...and a very talented one at that.
Many of Margie mosaics involve her beloved Green Giant vegetables and her passion for traveling, "I came to understand new places through the objects of those places, particularly found objects so I'm walking down the street and I find a piece of wire or a cool rock or whatever it might be and I just put it in my pocket and hang onto it."
Margie divides her time between Boston and New York but she always enjoys coming back to her hometown. The Nebraska State Capitol building has always held a special place in Margie's heart because it is where she received a great deal of her initial mosaic inspiration, "As a school student we took tours to the State Capitol and I was just enthralled by the mosaics, particularly in the rotunda ceiling and the WPA style mosaics in the wall and just the art, the beautiful art of the State Capitol."
Joanne Kaylor is the co-coordinator with the Pleasant View Art Gallery is impressed with Margie's mosaics, "I mean she is in it from beginning to end finding all the objects that she cuts into the mosaic pieces, caring enough about the history. And they're just whimsical and interesting."
Margie says, "Hopefully people will come to humor of advertising art in this country and in particular share my love my love of the Giant, ho, ho, ho...Green Giant."
If you'd like to check out some of Margie's mosaic for yourself, they'll be on display at the Pleasant View Art Gallery in Lincoln's Historic Haymarket throughout the month of August.
The Pleasant View Art Gallery is located at 816 P Street and they are open Wednesday through Saturday. For hours of business call (402)560-9973.

YouTube is ubiquitous at this juncture. If someone shares a viral video, and insists you watch it, chances are it will be on YouTube. Sure, there are alternatives to YouTube, but the Google-owned site is the most popular service for watching videos by quite a margin.
What has helped foster this rise to the top are the channels which have managed to build regular and returning audiences. Which is what this week's We Ask You is all about.
If you have a favorite YouTube then this is your opportunity to share it with the rest of us.
Champion Channel Choosers
We want to know, What Is Your Favorite YouTube Channel Right Now? There are literally millions of channels available to explore. Most of them are pointless and/or terrible, as they contain nothing but a handful of videos no one wants to watch. And that includes us, so please don't recommend them.
Thankfully, there are also some amazing channels available on YouTube. These are updated often, full of videos that everybody should watch at least once, and home to bona fide Internet celebrities who have made a name (and face) for themselves on YouTube. It is these channels that we want to hear about right now.
Simply tell us what YouTube channels you subscribe to and which you think other people should also start watching. The genre is immaterial; as long as the content is up to scratch then we don't mind whether it's comedy, science, music, technology, or any other subject matter you care to mention.
Those in need of some inspiration – because let's face it, the Internet has given us all memories like goldfish – need look no further than MakeUseOf itself, as we have shared plenty of irresistible and unmissable YouTube channels over the years…
- 10 Of The Best Technology YouTube Channels
- 6 Of The Best Cooking YouTube Channels
- 10 Of The Best Science YouTube Channels
- 4 Of The Best Video Games Channels
- 10 Of The Best Original Comedy YouTube Channels
- 7 Of The Best DIY YouTube Channels
- 10 Of The Best Animation YouTube Channels
These are listed just to inspire you, but if one of those mentioned is your favorite YouTube channel at the moment then feel free to promote it below. Otherwise, be original. From PewDiePie to Smosh, from Nigahiga to the Vlogbrothers, all are welcome.
Have Your Say
All comments will be read and most will be replied to, before a follow-up post is published containing the We Ask You Results. One reader will even win Comment Of The Week, which will be included in the follow-up post!

This lovely wall quilt looks just beautiful hung on a bedroom wall as a remembrance of a special love.
You can change the color of the rose to designate meanings other than love. A yellow rose is for friendship, pink is for thank you, white is for a bridal touch.
The simplicity of the rose is what makes it so special. Just that one rose...

The Television Academy, by splitting miniseries and movies for the 2014 contest, has made it easier this year for the made-for-TV movie to compete. Outside of the occasional HBO film, the genre is usually at a disadvantage at the Emmys. Forced to face off directly with the more lavish miniseries form, these two-hour one-offs have had a difficult time holding their own. (Acting, directing and writing categories are still combined for minis/movies). Occasionally a movie comes along that is so irresistible to TV Academy voters that it can't be ignored. That was the case last year with HBO's Behind the Candelabra, which swept both Primetime and Creative Arts Emmy ceremonies. In 2011, another HBO telefilm, Game Change, had similar success against the longform monsters, but it has not always been easy to beat the odds.
Frontrunner Status
With those two wins, TV movies are enjoying a bit of a renaissance—at least at HBO, which once again has the 800-pound gorilla in the race with Ryan Murphy's adaptation of Larry Kramer's play, The Normal Heart. The time finally seems right for this drama set in the early days of the AIDS crisis. Written 30 years ago and long in development as a feature film and then TV movie, this provocative and moving study about the human and political consequences of the HIV/AIDS outbreak finally found its way in front of the cameras, thanks in large part to Murphy, who promised the 78-year-old Kramer this movie would happen. In the same year that another decades-in-development-hell drama about the early struggle against AIDS, Dallas Buyers Club, won three Academy Awards—including best and supporting actor statuettes—it seems like kismet-style timing for a Normal Heart Emmy run. The fact that the TV movie still remains relevant and timely enhances the chances of a big win, and its backstory of a long and troubled road to the screen will only help it with voters. Kramer's well-documented journey with the material should make him a frontrunner in the writing category, and Murphy has a good shot in directing. A superb cast also should score major nominations, including Mark Ruffalo for miniseries/movie lead actor, Julia Roberts (as a polio-stricken doctor) in supporting actress, and a plethora of supporting actors, including Jim Parsons, Joe Mantello (both appeared in the 2011 Broadway revival of the play), Taylor Kitsch, Alfred Molina and Matt Bomer, who in particular really socks home the role of The New York Times writer who becomes an early victim of the virus.
The Normal Heart looks like the one to beat, but it won't be an easy task. HBO also is pushing Larry David's comedy, Clear History, and Muhammad Ali's Greatest Fight, which has a stellar cast in Christopher Plummer and Frank Langella and details the toll on the boxing champ's career when he refused to go to Vietnam.
The Female Factor
Don't discount Lifetime's splendid adaptation of Horton Foote's moving The Trip to Bountiful, which should rack up several nominations for its cast, including frontrunner for miniseries/movie lead actress Cicely Tyson, reprising her 2013 Tony Award-winning role of an old woman longing to revisit the town where she grew up. Blair Underwood and Vanessa Williams could compete in supporting as well. The same source material also was the subject of a 1985 feature film that won its star, Geraldine Page, a best actress Oscar. An Emmy win for Tyson would complete the Triple Crown for this beloved character.
Lifetime in fact could really come to the plate this year with a variety of awards contenders, including Whoopi Goldberg as a woman trying to bring her family together in the compelling A Day Late and a Dollar Short. Coincidentally, Goldberg was nominated for a best actress Oscar in her 1985 film debut, The Color Purple, but lost out to Page. Another voter favorite, Ellen Burstyn, could singlehandedly lift the chances of Lifetime's thriller, Flowers in the Attic, due to her bracing portrayal of an evil grandmother. However, the genre is not necessarily Emmy-friendly.
Lifetime's trio of biopics, House of Versace, Anna Nicole and Jodi Arias: Dirty Little Secret, are the kind of ripped-from-the-headlines projects that attract the femme-friendly network. But against stiff competition these movies would seem to be long shots. And Lizzie Borden Took an Ax, with Christina Ricci portraying the woman acquitted in the 1892 murders of her father and stepmother, hasn't generated much heat this season. The Gabby Douglas Story, on the other hand, is a nicely produced inspirational true story of the African-American Olympic gymnastics champion that could get a nom now that the miniseries competition is no longer a factor. Lifetime also could gain traction with Return to Zero, about a pregnant woman who gets devastating news. Star Minnie Driver could find herself in contention for miniseries/movie lead actress. Hallmark Channel doesn't seem to have much of a contender this year, though it might try to make a run for it with the sentimental (what else?) Christmas in Conway.
Tough Thesps
More serious contenders, particularly for acting talent, would be National Geographic's Killing Kennedy and PBS' trio: Barrymore, Sherlock: His Last Vow and Turks & Caicos. Barrymore is a one-man show about legendary actor John Barrymore that Christopher Plummer first performed onstage; his TV reprisal is a signature achievement for the 84-year-old award magnet, who won an Oscar in 2012 to go with his previous Emmy and Tony victories. You can also bet on nominations for Emmy fave Sherlock and its stars, Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. In its last go-round with Emmy two years ago, the PBS update of the famous detective took 13 nominations, including two for its stars. There were no wins, but that could change this time around. As for Turks, it is the sequel to the superb Page Eight and once again features Bill Nighy in an Emmy-worthy turn (he was nominated for a Golden Globe the first time around in 2012). And could it be Emmy-time finally for Rob Lowe, who delivered a well-reviewed and credible portrayal of President John F. Kennedy, though the movie itself, based on Bill O'Reilly's bestseller, was less critically received?
Finally, will playing Elizabeth Taylor bring Helena Bonham Carter more Emmy luck than it did for Lindsay Lohan? Don't count her out for a witty performance in Burton and Taylor, which chronicles Taylor's preparation for a 1983 stage performance opposite hubby Richard Burton (played by Dominic West).
Unfortunately, Turks and Caicos is premiering in November on PBS, leaving it ineligible for this year's Emmys.
The awards "Game Change" won were hand outs and everyone knows it, "Hatfields & McCoys" was screwed out of many awards. "The Normal Heart" is a shoe in to win it all and everyone knows. There will be no surprises at the next EMMY's show.
You would think because the number of miniseries surpassed the minimum number needed to have the category, they would have separate nominations for actors and directors for the miniseries category as well instead of lumping them in with the TV movie performers.
Just watched THE NORMAL HEART yesterday and WOW…just WOW!!!!!! It was INCREDIBLY gut wrenching and moving!!! Even though I am in the medical field, I don't really know much about the disease. But we watched DALLAS BUYERS CLUB and thought it was phenomenal!! And my wife and I are huge fans of Mark Ruffalo and Julia Roberts…and of course Matt Bomer from one of our favorite shows WHITE COLLAR! Anyway…it was just such a stirring movie!! Ruffalo gave the performance of a lifetime!! If this were released in cinemas he certainly would be an Oscar contender!! And Bomer also was brilliant! There were many times during the movie where we sat there with our mouths open because of the intensity of the film and the raw human emotion that the actors displayed! The movie definitely doesn't leave you feeling happy at the end…but maybe things like this will wake people up!! It doesn't matter what race, what sex, what sexual orientation…"human suffering is the worst travesty this world will ever know; and it is far worse when we see it and do nothing about it due to our own pre-conceived, ill informed judgments on our fellow man."

US Ends Burmese Visa Ban
The U.S. State Department said Thursday that a visa ban that barred people seen as impeding Myanmar's move toward democracy is no longer necessary.
The travel restriction, known as Presidential Proclamation 6925, was imposed in 1996 in response to the then-military regime's poor human rights practices, the State Department said in a statement.
"This termination, effective immediately, is consistent with the administration's calibrated approach to strengthen and encourage further reform while holding Burma to its commitments on human rights and democratization," the statement said.
The State Department's statement said ending the proclamation will "facilitate increased engagement" between Washington and Yangon.
Myanmar is also known as Burma.
The ending of the visa ban doesn't automatically entitle everyone from Myanmar who was blocked to enter the U.S., the statement said; other restrictions still apply.
Washington has slowly been easing sanctions on the country for about a year as it undergoes a rapid transformation. In September 2012, the U.S. lifted sanctions on Myanmar's president and its lower house speaker. Treasury allowed further U.S. economic activity earlier this year.
However, as it quickly opens up to democracy, Myanmar has had some growing pains. There is a major sectarian violence problem in the western part of the country.

Ranks aquired at other places
My issue with this is not the ranks themselves, rather the person who shows up at the dojo, makes it perfectly clear they want to attain shodan with no thought about etiquette, tradition, principles, etc, and insists on shoving their certificates in my face to prove they were worthy.
I had this happen twice within 3 months. Two students, seeking shodan. Neither belong to an organization that could be traced back to any major group or instructor. Watching them take ukemi was painful and one could not even make nikajo work on 14 year old. But yet they both wanted me to grade them to shodan. Neither would take advise or instruction and refused to do things in our manner, thus putting our students in a dangerous situation.
One boasted about how great his ukemi was. Not a good thing as I but that to the test. Needless to say, he crashed and burned then complained about how hard I through him and barked even louder for making him tap out of my osae waza. Too funny!
On the other side of this of this, I had a nidan from the Aikikai train with me for a while and his only desire was to learn. To me it doesn't matter as long as the person respects our customs and makes an effort to learn our ways.
That's my nickles worth anyway ...

Sen. Roger Wicker said Tuesday he will oppose the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court.
"The Constitutional duty of 'advice and consent' given to the Senate is of great importance, particularly when considering a lifetime appointment to the nation's highest court," said Wicker. "In reviewing Judge Sotomayor's nomination, I have taken this obligation seriously. After careful consideration of her record and judicial philosophy, I have concluded I will vote against her nomination.
Wicker said his position is tied to Sotomayor in his words, "refusing to confirm that the Second Amendment is a fundamental right that applies to all 50 states, and thus, all Americans."
The senator said he respects the judge's accomplishments but says her views are out of the mainstream in Mississippi, and the nation.
Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, considered to be a moderate, became the latest member of the GOP to publicly commit to voting for the president's first high court pick.
"I know that I will not agree with every decision Justice Sotomayor reaches on the court, just as I disagree with some of her previous decisions," Collins said in a statement.
However, she added that she believes Sotomayor understands a judge's proper role "and is committed to applying the law impartially without bias or favoritism."
Meanwhile, the Senate Judiciary Committee put off its Tuesday vote on the nominee for one week amid objections from the panel's conservative Republicans.
Sens. Richard Lugar of Indiana, Mel Martinez of Florida and Olympia Snowe of Maine have all announced they would vote for the 55-year-old federal appeals court judge, while some of the most conservative Republicans, including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, have said they'll oppose her.
Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, the senior Republican on the Judiciary panel, said Sotomayor is still on track to win quick confirmation on a timetable slightly quicker than the one Democrats followed for confirming GOP-nominated Chief Justice John Roberts.
"You moved fast. Some say you didn't go fast enough, some of us said you went too fast," Sessions said. "Our side's tried to fulfill our responsibilities without any unnecessary delays."
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., the Judiciary chairman, said his panel would vote on Sotomayor's nomination July 28 and expressed confidence she would win confirmation by a bipartisan vote of the full Senate in time for the Supreme Court's earlier-than-usual first meeting Sept. 9.
Also Tuesday, the abortion rights group NARAL Pro-Choice America endorsed Sotomayor, breaking months of silence on her nomination that stemmed from uncertainty about where the judge stands on the legal underpinnings of a woman's right to terminate a pregnancy.
"We are pleased that Judge Sotomayor expressed stronger support for the established constitutional right to privacy than either Chief Justice Roberts or Justice Alito, both of whom had anti-choice records before being nominated to their current positions," Nancy Keenan, the group's president, and Kelli Conlin, the head of its New York chapter, said in a joint statement.
"She also articulated several times throughout the hearing that the constitutional right to privacy includes the right to choose," they said.
NARAL also said it considered the backing Sotomayor has drawn from the Senate's strongest proponents of abortion rights, as well as Obama's consistent support for the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that established the right to choose.

Don Bradman
Break Brian Lara's record of 400 not out in a Test Innings to unlock D Bardenham, who is a pseudonym for Don Bradman.
LBW or Blowed
Blowed at Min. Speed but up to almost the wicket. Blowed in line with the wicket and the batsmen will be out LBW or Blowed (in most cases).
Training your career player
Select "Tournament" at the main menu. Select "Double Wicket" at the tournament menu. Set the setting of the match to 8 teams and 10 overs on the village difficulty
setting. Edit every team so that each team has bowlers or really bad batsmen (for example, Glenn McGrath). On the eighth team, select your career player and any other player desired, or another career player. If batting, always try to hit the ball out of the ground by timing it correctly and playing the correct shots. If you make a 50 or even a 100, you get that many points for batting. If bowling, always bowl at the stumps and in 10 overs. You will at least get 25 wickets earning you 25 points for your career player for bowling.
Use the following trick to train a player's batting skills legitimately. Regardless of the player's position on the batting lineup, put him at number one. Play a test and try to six everything except the x.5 over, assuming the bowler has a fair bowl (no wide or no ball. Single that run so when the next bowler comes along and bowls the other end, you will be the one facing the ball. To train a player's batting skills (the two-controller way) do the same thing, but bowl a ball that is easy for six and have potential to force no balls and wides. For example, if it is a right handed fast bowler facing a right handed batsman, have the bowler stand just to the left of the wicket, aim the ball to the extreme right hand corner, then bowl a fast ball. Your batsman moves towards that corner and hooks the shot over. Also, put the fielders on bodyline setting just in case. On the .5 over, single that run and bowl properly. To train a player's fielding skills (the two-controller way), bowl a good length shot. Use your other controller or player to do a forward defensive stroke (press Down + Square
PlayStation2 or Down + X
Xbox ), when your bowler has the ball. Only then do you call your batter to run. Then just throw to the wicket keeper for the run out. The run out will be credited to you, and for every run out, 5 attribute points are awarded. So in a test, if you score all 20 run outs and 5 points, you have 100 points to improve on your fielding. This trick is rather useless for double cricket.
To train a player's bowling skills (the two-controller way), do double wicket. Make your opponents bad batsmen, then just aim for the stumps. If you have to (because your bowler is a spinner), move your batsman away from the wicket altogether and do not swing.
This is an even cheaper way for run outs. Concede no balls. Bowl a full toss shot, straight on the batsman, run over the no ball line, then use the other controller on a forward defensive shot. Then as usual, when the bowler has the ball, run the batsmen for a run-out. You concede a run, but will have extra ball for another run out. You can then do however many you can. Bowl 60 run outs to fill up the fielding bars. If you want to be a wicket-keeper and get credited for run outs, bowl the same side as where the batsman has the bat, then aim to bowl a full toss just wide of the wicket. When the wicket keeper catches the ball, immediately call the run. The keeper will throw to the wicket. This can be done regardless of whether you are a batsman, bowler or all-rounder. When that is done filling up completely, this is the only category to be full when your player's overall rating is evaluated.
Uprooting the stumps
If you want to knock the stumps completely off the ground and hear the big loud "thump", get at least a medium-fast bowler (non-created) and bowl at a speed of at least 115 km/h.
Knock the stump camera out
The stump camera, despite the suggestion of the artwork on the middle stump, is behind the off stump right-handed batsman or leg stump of the left-handed batsman. When you have bowled the ball to that stump, either by knocking the bails or completely uprooting the stump, watch the entire replay, then admire how you smashed the camera.
Maximum ratings
The maximum rating for bowling, batting and fielding after all stats points are accumulated are as follows:
- Bowler: Bowling 100, Batting 60, Fielding 100
- Batsman: Bowling 60, Batting 100, Fielding 100
- All-Rounder: Bowling 80, Batting 80, Fielding 100
Speed created bowlers
Initially, a bowler's speed is pathetically slow due to high release. However if you are a bowler, or an all-rounder, your speed will improve after you have maxed out your bowling stats. You can uproot the stumps (bowl at over 115km/h) if you are a fast medium bowler or fast bowler. Medium fast bowlers can sometimes do that, but fast bowlers may sometimes uproot the stumps between 110-115km/h if you have some swing on the ball.
