SILVER CREEK – The many areas impacted by the low water levels in the harbor at Cattaraugus Creek were discussed at a meeting held Monday in Hanover Town Hall.
Chautauqua County Legislator George Borrello coordinated the meeting that brought together representatives from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, County Executive Gregory Edwards, Sen. Cathy Young, Assemblyman Andrew Goodell and many other local and state officials.
Borrello said that the creek area now measures very low in the boat launch area. He said local residents estimate that the water levels may be down to 18 inches in some areas.
Borrello stressed at the meeting that there were many issues at stake concerning the condition of the small-boat harbor and the depth of the creek.
Chautauqua County Planning Director Bill Daly and Chadwick Bay Regional Director Kathy Tampio discussed economic concerns related to the low water, because the harbor provides a place for sport fishermen and recreational boaters to launch.
Representatives from the corps promised they could provide cost estimates on a dredging project for the harbor within one week. Borrello suggested that the county would be the lead agency in the efforts, and Daly agreed that a regional effort should also involve communication with Dunkirk officials to determine how that city's harbor has been affected.
The Barcelona Harbor near Westfield has already been placed on the Army Corps' schedule for dredging in 2014. According to information supplied at the meeting, that harbor was significantly damaged when Superstorm Sandy impacted much of the Eastern coastal states.
The corps has not participated in a dredging project at Cattaraugus Creek since the harbor's breakwater project in 1983. At that time, about 55,000 tons of sediment was removed from the federal channel at the harbor.
The Town of Hanover did a small dredging project at its own boat launch area about 11 years ago, according to Town Highway Superintendent Steve D'Angelo. About 8,000 tons was removed and put to use as gravel and fill for town highway projects.
Besides the local launch run by the town, the harbor contains a boat launch that is operated by the Department of Environmental Conservation, on Cattaraugus Creek near the harbor's lakefront area. Borrello said the DEC contract called for dredging every five years after the breakwaters were installed in the harbor.
The meeting's outcomes included commitments from the senator's and assemblyman's office to contact the state Department of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation to ask for help getting the harbor dredged and an offer from Daly to get the county planning and watershed departments involved.

After the car hit the bicycle that the 8-year-old was riding, leaving her bleeding and seriously injured, the driver did stop briefly, according to witnesses, but then he kept going.
"He just takes off without helping her," said Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood.
After the witnesses provided a description of the red Nissan and the last four digits of the license number, Upper Darby police arrested Sukhjinder Singh, 33, of the 7200 block of Walnut Street, and charged him with aggravated assault by motor vehicle and leaving the scene of an accident.

Erie man charged with concealing whereabouts of 14-year-old girl
An Erie man was jailed this morning on charges of concealing a missing 14-year-old girl at an eastside residence on Wednesday night.
David C. Collier, 32, of the 400 block of East 21st Street, was placed in the Erie County Prison on $5,000 bond after he was arraigned by Erie 1st Ward District Judge Sue Mack on felony counts of interference with the custody of children and concealment of the whereabouts of a child.
Police accuse Collier of concealing the girl. He let officers search his residence on Wednesday night but told them that she was not there, according to the criminal complaint filed in the case.
Police said they found the girl hiding in the basement.

Jim Crow segregation in the American South, like the human bondage that preceded it, is now a disgraceful memory.
But that race-based scourge was still deeply entrenched in this region when Julius Waties Waring became a federal judge more than seven decades ago. And digging that poisonous fruit out by the roots demanded extraordinary deeds by extraordinary people.
Judge Waring was one of those special individuals - and will be deservedly honored today for his bold rulings in favor of racial fairness.
Assorted dignitaries, including U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, will pay tribute to the transformational jurist in a ceremony unveiling a statue of him at Charleston's Federal Courthouse.
Many 21st century Americans can't fully grasp the great courage required for a judge living in the South of that time to take on the reigning institutional, legalized and cultural bigotry.
And Judge Waring suffered widespread scorn for repeatedly ruling against segregation laws that violated basic human rights.
In his 1951 opinion on Briggs v. Elliott, that son of a Confederate veteran wrote as a member of the federal appellate court in Charleston:
"I am of the opinion that all of the legal guideposts, expert testimony, common sense and reason point unerringly to the conclusion that the system of segregation in education adopted and practiced in the state of South Carolina must go and go now. Segregation is per se inequality."
South Carolinians today recognize the "common sense and reason" of that obvious judicial conclusion.
Yet Judge Waring issued that opinion in dissent as the two other judges on the panel upheld the "separate but equal" doctrine that perpetuated school segregation.
Judge Waring became a pariah here in his hometown for challenging that blatant, long-term lie of alleged equality in a public education system that consigned black South Carolinians to inferior facilities and resources.
Widely ostracized throughout South Carolina, he resigned from the bench in 1952 and moved to New York City, where he died in 1968. He then came home in death to be buried at Charleston's Magnolia Cemetery.
And Briggs v. Elliott, including his persuasive dissent, became one of the cases grouped under Brown v. Board of Education, in which the U.S. Supreme Court finally - and unanimously - outlawed racial segregation in public schools in 1954.
Judge Waring also rendered brave decisions to give black teachers equal pay and advance voting rights for minorities.
Our state still suffers from its history of segregation.
But Judge J. Waties Waring's distinguished legacy as a driving force for equality will endure.
And the judge's statue at the courthouse will serve as a reminder of the uplifting power of the law - and his indispensable contribution to justice.

The 2009 season proved to be landmark season for Coach Craig Poole and the BYU Women's Track and Field team. With the help of a well-balanced group of athletes, Coach Poole led the young team to indoor and outdoor MWC Championships, as well as a third-place national indoor finish.
The Cougars, who have now won 28 of 30 outdoor conference championships and 17 of 19 indoor conference championships, are ready to dominate again this season.
2010 could be one of the best seasons in BYU track and field history. The Women's team returns eight All-Americans and 15 conference champions. The team finished 2009 ranked 15th in the country, and they hope to improve on that ranking beginning in January.Distance
The distance team will continue its greatness during the 2010 season. The talent of this team starts in the 800-meter, an event BYU nearly swept at the MWC Outdoor Championships, taking four of the top five spots in the final. Sophomore Lacey Cramer, last season's standout freshman, will lead this group. After winning a National Championship and two MWC Championships in this event last season, Cramer will strive to lead BYU to national prominence once again.
Junior Katie Palmer will also make a run for nationals in the 800-meter. At the 2009 Mt. SAC Relays, Palmer set what would have been a BYU record in the race (2:03.26), had she not be edged out at the finish by Cramer (2:03.01). Other 800-meter runners with a chance to produce at conference include sophomores Sarah Yingling and Sarah Edwards, both of whom placed in the top five at conference last season.
The 1500-meter is another strong race for the Cougars. Palmer leads the team in this race, after winning last season's conference championship. Cramer, who took second at conference, is also a force in this race. Edwards and Cecily Lemmon, both 2009 regional qualifiers in this event, can also be counted on for points at the conference meet.
Angela Wagner, last season's conference champion in the mile and 3000-meter, will provide senior leadership throughout the season. Wagner will be looked at to provide national recognition for BYU in both her championship events, and possibly in the 3000-meter steeplechase. Palmer and Cramer provide depth in the mile, with Anna Sperry and Lemmon providing the depth in the 3000-meter. All four runners qualified in those events last season.
Rounding up the distance races are the 5000-meter and 10000-meter, both of which are led by Lemmon. She regionally qualified in both races last season, and placed second in the 10000-meter at the Outdoor National Championships. Pushing her in the 5000-meter is fellow 2009 regional qualifier, sophomore Katy Andrews.Jumps
A pair of All-Americans, sophomore Ada Robinson and senior Amy Otis, lead a loaded BYU jump team this season. Robinson, a high jumper, placed fifth at the Outdoor National Championships, and will look to build upon that feat this season. Otis, a long jumper, is looking to improve on her seventh place Outdoor National Championship finish of a year ago.
Fellow sophomore Diana Blauer will push to join Robinson in the National landscape. She already has one conference championship in her young career, at the MWC Indoor Championships, and will look to add to that total.
Mindy Neely-McClurkin, a senior former All-American, will join Otis as a top long jumper. Neely-McClurkin competed in the long jump at the 2008 Olympic trials, and will look to regain that form.
The triple jump will be lead by senior Madara Dzalbe, a former javelin thrower that qualified for the West Regional last season. Junior Mindy Robins, another Cougar jumper that can score at conference, will add depth to the team.Pole Vault
The pole vault team is the deepest, most talented it has been in years. Four athletes that qualified for the West Regional all return, and three are sophomores. Senior Kari Clark will provide the experience and leadership that this group needs, and she also possesses the ability to place at Nationals after setting the BYU pole vault record last season.
The three sophomores, Kelli Ehardt, Christine Botteron, and Shanie Bushman, are all quality vaulters. Ehardt brings the best chance of the three to compete at a national level, but all three are capable of producing at conference.Sprints and Hurdles
The sophomore Stewart sisters, Natalie and Nachelle, will help lead a diverse group of sprinters and hurdlers this season. Natalie brings more pure speed to the track, running the second fastest times on the team last year in the 60-meter dash and the 200-meter dash. Natalie also set a BYU record in the 400-meter, running it in 53.60 seconds. Nachelle was second to her sister on the team in the 400-meter and fourth in the 200-meter. She also ran the teams' third fastest 800-meter time.
Leading the way for the two speedy sophomores will be the two senior leaders, Neely-McClurkin and Otis. Neely-McClurkin is one of the fastest BYU sprinters in history, with third place marks on the record board in both the 60-meter and 200-meter. After fourth place finishes in those events at last season's conference meets, she will look to get a spot on the medal stand this season.
Porsche Giddings, a transfer from Northeastern University, brings both experience and excellence into the women's sprint team. Giddings holds the record in both the 60-meter dash (7.49) and 100-meter dash (11.57) at Northeastern. Both times would have been BYU team-bests last season.
Otis, the All-American long jumper, is also a prolific hurdler. She qualified for nationals in the 60-meter hurdles last season, and followed that with a 100-meter hurdle regional qualifying time during outdoor. Adding to the success of BYU hurdlers is sophomore Fatima Makakala, who ran the tenth fastest 60-meter hurdle time in BYU history last season at 8.67 seconds.
Junior Diane Stewart, a sister to the sophomore Stewarts, will also adds to the hurdle arsenal. She will be a threat to place at conference in the 400-meter hurdles, and also could put herself into the national picture with slight improvement.Throws
Throws is an area of the team that shows a lot of potential. Sophomore Sharrisa Thayer, last season's top shot putter, will strive to improve on that mark. Fellow sophomore Cassandra Woodall, who will compete in the weight throw, discus and shot put, could also have an impact.
Junior Tipaleli Fotu will lead the hammer throwers in her first season back from a mission. Sophomore Tianna Illi, a discus and shot put competitor, will look to contribute to another team conference title. Senior Sarah Lancaster will lead the javelin throwers, and could have an impact not only on the conference level but the national level as well. She regionally qualified in the event last season, and will only improve with time.
Also contributing in the javelin will be freshman Amber Freeman and Ally Wardell. Freeman was a four-time Utah All-State performer and won state in the javelin her senior season. Wardell won state her senior season in Montana with a Class AA record javelin throw. Multi-event freshman Coriann Clark will also compete in the javelin.Combined Events
Otis and Robins will be threats on the national level. Otis looks to follow up her National Championship performance. Robins, now a junior, will look to improve on last season's conference-placing performance. Freshman Coriann Clark, a four-time All-Montana track and field athlete, will also contribute in the multi-events.Newcomers
The 2009-10 BYU women's track and field recruiting class looks to continue the first-year impact the team experienced during its run to national prominence in 2008-09.
While freshman make up the majority of the first-year Cougars, it is a transfer sprinter that looks to make the biggest impact. Porsche Giddings, a transfer from Northeastern University, brings both experience and excellence into the women's sprint team. Giddings holds the record in both the 60-meter dash (7.49) and 100-meter dash (11.57) at Northeastern. Both times would have been BYU team-bests last season.
Rachel Fisher, a pole vault specialist coming from Allen, Texas, brings an AAU National Jr. Olympic Championship reputation with her to Provo. The freshman should make an instant impact on an already strong pole vault squad.

I just don't understand how to do the "supervisory capacity" Must you "pass" the account to every single call to the kernel? In object oriented terms, this would mean that I would have a single interface (collection of methods) to the entire kernel. This could be a good thing, but seems rather a strange way to do object oriented programming. In the real world, there are tons of interfaces on the internet. Do I need to maintain an account on each interface? How do I prevent people from merely requesting a new account after their old one is revoked? By promising that they'll get a ton of spam on the new account? LOL. John

Ron Samuels
"a highly captivating musical presence"
The Los Angeles Times
"performs skillfully and stylishly with verve and impressive musicianship"
"rare beauty of performance"
American Record Guide
Ron Samuels was appointed 2nd clarinetist of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra by the eminent conductor Mariss Jansons at the start of the 2001-02 season. Previously, he served as principal clarinetist of the Toledo Symphony Orchestra for sixteen years and as a guest principal clarinetist with the Minnesota Orchestra during their 1996-97 season.
A native of San Francisco, Ron has enjoyed a richly varied career as a symphonic musician, chamber music and concerto soloist, and as a collegiate professor and master class clinician. He graduated from the University of Southern California where he studied with Mitchell Lurie and where he has frequently returned as a guest lecturer. A year after graduation, he won an audition for the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, a post he held for six seasons.
In addition to appearances on chamber music and recital series throughout the United States, Ron has been a featured soloist with the Toledo Symphony Orchestra on several occasions, as well as with the San Diego Symphony, the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra, the Eureka (CA) Symphony and the Plymouth (MI) Symphony Orchestra. He has recorded contemporary chamber music for Opus One Records, Hearts of Space Records, and a solo CD for KOCH International Classics featuring an all-French program and highlighted by the world-premiere recording of an early 19th-century concerto by Charles Duvernoy. During his years in Los Angeles, he also participated in soundtrack recordings for the motion picture and television studios of Universal, Warner Brothers and Columbia.
Ron has championed the music of several contemporary composers and has participated in performances, on recordings, and as part of consortiums of several new-work commissions. Among these have been Anthony Iannaccone's Concertante for clarinet and orchestra for which he gave the American premiere; William Albright's Quintet for clarinet and strings; John Harbison's Concerto for oboe, clarinet and orchestra; and most recently, David Stock's Sea of Reeds written for the Pittsburgh Reed Trio, a chamber ensemble which Ron co-founded.
Currently on the faculty of Duquesne University, Ron has been a guest lecturer at the University of Michigan and the Interlochen Arts Academy, and he has given master classes at several schools including the Universities of Southern California, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Louisville, Central and Eastern Michigan Universities, Bowling Green State University, California State University at Humboldt and the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.
During the summer, Ron performs in the Robert Marcellus-endowed principal clarinet chair of the Peninsula Music Festival in Fish Creek, Wisconsin. Ron has also been the principal clarinetist of the Grand Teton Music Festival, the Colorado Music Festival and the Santa Fe Opera.
Other musical pursuits have included the publication of articles for The Clarinet - Journal for the International Clarinet Association and de Klarinet - Dutch Journal for Clarinetists. In addition, Ron was a production assistant on clarinetist David Shifrin's Delos recording, A Brahms/Schumann Soirée.

Walmart's Actions Again Call Eco-Friendly Image into Question
The following is a guest post by Stacy Mitchell with the Institute for Local Self-Reliance.
Today, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) announced that it had reached a settlement with Walmart on a number of worker safety issues. Among the repeated violations were poorly maintained and dangerous equipment and the lack of adequate training on how to handle hazardous chemicals.
This settlement, which includes the highest penalties any individual Walmart store has ever faced over such violations, flies in the face of Walmart's claims to be a leader on environmental sustainability.
As my reporting for Grist has documented, there's a yawning gap between Walmart's ecofriendly rhetoric and its actions. Walmart talks big when it comes to addressing the climate crisis, but in fact, as I recently wrote, lags its peers on renewable energy and is contributing a large and growing volume of climate change pollution to the atmosphere.
Walmart's negligence in managing hazardous chemicals is yet another illustration of its disregard for the environment and the health of workers and communities. Even as it touts sustainability, the company is continuing to cut corners and harm the environment throughout its operations and supply chain.
The $350,000 in penalties will likely be counted as a cost of doing business for Walmart, but should be an indicator to the public that Walmart's intentions have more to do with greenwashing their brand than cleaning up their act.
Today's OSHA action also shows why giving employees a strong voice on the job is such a key part of making meaningful environmental changes. Walmart employees with the Organization United for Respect at Walmart (OUR Walmart) have repeatedly raised workplace safety issues with the company. Yet, their complaints have largely fallen on deaf ears.

Is anyone really surprised by Walmart's fines? Walmart wants to paint itself as fine environmental steward mainly for tax breaks. If there were no tax breaks for solar or wind Walmart wouldn't be interested in renewable energy at all.

WOW what a slanted article.
Connie LeeAugust 17, 2013
Having been a victim of Walmarts lack of careing, I have to disagree with your view. And I have the scar to prove it. Namely, from a worn out oven in one of their bakeries. A bolt was sticking up out of the oven floor, if you didn't pay close attention pulling out the hot racks it would cause them to tip and fall on you. The oven door would not stay open. You had to hold the hot door open with your foot, while you manuvered the hot racks out of the oven. Sometimes the swivel bars on which the racks hung didn't drop and you had to transfer the hot pans from the racks in the oven onto other racks in order to get them out, all the while holding the door open with your foot. Was it reported to management? Of course. Did management really care? Not really, as long as no one was injured badly enough to require medical treatment. Temporary fixes were applied, lasting a few weeks at a time. And the reason the worn out oven was not replaced. Because it was not remodel time and the cost would come from the individual stores budget and greatly reduce the managers bonus check. Now you will probably say why not report the dangerous condition to OSHA, sure and lose your job, poor as it may be, still better than nothing, or at least being written up for telling tales out of school. Which actually did happen over another incident. Some Walmart bigwig decided to start a recycling program. Sounds good dosn't it? Perhaps if you are willing to spend the money to make it work, but Walmart being Walmart didn't want to do that. Instead they contracted with someone to haul off compostable trash. Now in order to make this trash compostable, someone had to stand there and remove all the little stickers from the fruits and veggies, in the deli, sandwiches had to be taken apart and all meat removed, in the bakery evey package had to be unwrapped. All very time consuming to say the least, but that was no reason for everything else not to get done. But the straw that broke the camels back was the number of dumpsters provided for this compost and the fact that it was only picked up twice a week. The result was piles of garbage sitting in the departments because the dumpsters were full and there was no place to put it. Well , along comes the fellow from the exterminator company to clean the bug zappers, and he notices a large increase in flies. He makes a comment to the department manager and she says, oh, its probably because of that pile of garbage back there. He goes over and takes a look. Next thing you know here comes a surprise visit from the health inspector. Management was not happy to be given 24 hours to clean up the mess. And in the end they had to add another bin and a third weekly pick up. Walmart, like way too many other big businesses only cares about health and safety when they get caught.
Connie LeeAugust 17, 2013
And the department manager who unthinkingly opened her mouth, when management finally tracked down who it was, she was blasted big time for company disloyalty.

What have you done to improve your worth to any company. There are lots of free classes. People with great work ethics are always promoted.
Connie LeeAugust 17, 2013
You do assume a lot don't you? What makes you think I need or want a job? Actually, I had my own business for many years. But I didn't want that much work when I got older and sold it all off. But I still wasn't ready to just sit home and twiddle my thumbs. So I got a job for something to do. With Walmart. But I didn't like what I saw happening there and left. And something else I found there, you say skills and talent bring promotions, wrong, what I saw far more often was it's not what you know but who you know that gets the promotions. And no I am not griping because I was passed over, I'm sure that is the first thing that will pop into your mind, I didn't want the aggravation that comes with being a boss. If I had , I would have kept my own business. But I saw it happen on more than one occasion, a well qualified person passed over for some asst. managers friend, even though they knew nothing about the area they were put over. Which reminds me of what I found a funny situation. A young woman from the general merchandise area was promoted to supervisor over the produce, bakery and deli. Well she was determined to show her stuff. She was gonna whip those departments into shape. Anyway, she went into the deli one evening and decided the hot case hadn't been cleaned to her satisfaction, so she insisted they pour a bucket of water into it and give it a good scrubbing. The upshot was pretty obvious. The hot case shorted out and took out a good bit of the deli electricity with it. The deli was shut down for three days and it cost the store several thousand dollars to replace the hot case. So you tell me , do you really think this idiot got her job on her merits?

I know nothing of any specific incident you talk about, but speak about businesses in general terms. I could tell you had worked at Wal-Mart and were very bitter about them. Being bitter just hold you back. Let it go. Recognizing the skills necessary for promotion is the hardest thing about business. I have made many mistakes, but had many more successes. That is extremely rewarding. Your judgement of these people may have been different than the decision makers. Did you always have the same level job there?

Dia De Los Muertos: Families Celebrate Day of the DeadStephanie Precourt
On November 1st and 2nd, many families in Mexico and around the world celebrate Dia de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead. Not to be confused with Halloween and its costumed troublemakers, tricks, and candy treats on October 31 — Day of the Dead celebrates and honors those who have passed on, as you can see in the photo gallery below, and has ties to the Catholic holidays All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day on the same dates.
Families gather together to pray, visit cemeteries, and attend festivals and parades honoring deceased loved ones and ancestors. Elaborately decorated masks are worn and faces are painted to look like skulls, which the Aztecs believed were symbols that honored the dead and celebrated rebirth. Many homes set up altars or ofrendas — offerings including photographs, candles, paper banners, marigolds, bread, and other symbolic articles to the deceased — to remember and honor the memory of those who have passed on.

Mozzarella & Pepperoni Stuffed Chicken
We eat a lot of chicken at our house. It's healthy, it tastes good and there's a million ways to dress it up! I knew this Mozzarella & Pepperoni version would be awesome. It tastes like pizza without the crust.
I changed the original recipe just a little bit. I stuffed ours with turkey-pepperoni, and a slice of mozzarella. Then I coated the chicken in dried Italian bread crumbs. You could make this even more wonderful by adding some fresh cut up veggies too. I think I'll do that next time.
My house smelled heavenly as it baked. This chicken was pure deliciousness!
Mozzarella & Pepperoni Stuffed Chicken
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 (1 ounce) slices Mozzarella cheese, plus 1 cup shredded Mozzarella
16 slices pepperoni
dried basil
garlic powder
1/2 cup dried Italian bread crumbs
1 jar Marinara sauce
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Directions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9x13 baking pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
Rinse chicken with water, and pat dry. Trim off any visible fat. Cut a deep, horizontal pocket in each piece of chicken. (Be careful not to cut all the way through) Stuff each chicken breast with one slice of Mozzarella cheese and 4 pepperoni slices. Sprinkle the tops of pepperonis with a dash of dried basil and garlic powder. Close the chicken breasts, and secure with a toothpick.
Spread the bread crumbs in a shallow dish or plate. Dredge each breast into the bread crumbs to coat lightly. Place all the coated and stuffed chicken breasts into the baking pan.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Remove pan from oven, and then remove the toothpicks from each chicken breast. Pour about 1/4 cup of marinara over each chicken breast. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Place back in oven and bake another 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Diopsys® ERG tests use electroretinography (ERG) technology to help eye care specialists gain objective, functional information about the performance of the inner retinal cells of the eye, especially in the macula. Diopsys offers two ERG modules – Contrast Sensitivity and Concentric Stimulus Fields.
- Both objective and functional test results, no verbal response or "button pushing" required.
- Color-coded reports for rapid, intuitive report interpretation.
- Enhanced treatment tracking and patient management with quantitative data.
- All Diopsys ERG tests conform to the standards of the International Society for Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision (ISCEV)
ERG Protocols*
Concentric Stimulus Fields
Information gathered is intended to be used to aid in the diagnosis and care of diseases that affect the retina in specific topographic patterns, i.e., Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), Diabetes Macular Edema (CME) and Toxic Maculopathies (e.g. Plaquenil Maculopathy). These types of diseases usually have an expected pattern of macular deterioration, affecting the central or paracentral area of the macula.
The Diopsys ERG Concentric Stimulus Fields test utilizes two different degrees of stimulus presented as concentric circles with contrast reversing patterns.
Contrast Sensitivity
Designed to provide data to aid in the diagnosis and care of diseases that affect the retina in a diffuse pattern like Chronic Open Angle Glaucoma (COAG) and Diabetic Retinopathy (DR). Since there is typically no specific topographic pattern of damage, the information collected using this protocol may help in detecting the depth of the macular dysfunction.
The Diopsys ERG Contrast Sensitivity test utilizes a full screen pattern stimulus with two different contrast levels to give an objective, functional response of the vision system at the retina.
The Diopsys ERG tests are designed to provide data to the doctor to help detect cellular dysfunction that can precede evident structural defects, thereby contributing to earlier detection for more specific and timely management of diseases that impair macula and ganglion cells.
*Although the previously mentioned diseases usually have an expected clinical presentation, they may develop differently. The eye care professional must individualize the usage of the Diopsys ERG tests depending on his/her assessment of the clinical presentation of the disease(s), patient history and risk factors, and changes to the patients' condition that can result in subclinical manifestations that contribute to vision loss.

1-Green Onion Bunch - Vegetarian Fresh Spring Roll, Ramen Noodle Slaw
1-Red Cherry Tomato (pt) - Ziti with Spinach, Cherry Tomatoes & Gorgonzola
Vegetarian Fresh Spring Rolls - I love fresh spring rolls, but have never tried my hand at making them! Substitute your green cabbage for the Napa cabbage. If you can't find the bean thread noodles, I think I have seen the skinny rice noodles at both Hy-Vee and Target, easy substitute. One of my favorite Thai restaurants grinds up peanuts and serves along side their rolls as well - dip your rollinto the sauce, then the peanuts - YUM!
Indian Spiced Cabbage & Potato Fry - haven't made this one, but in looking through the reviews, it looks like you might want to double the spices for more flavor. I would also add a small can of tomato sauce and some coconut milk at the end, to make a creamy sauce.
Roasted Rainbow Carrots with Miso Butter - I'm not a big miso fan, so I would leave it out and just add some sea salt instead. Or you could add a splash of soy. Otherwise this looks like such an elegant way to serve carrots!
Ramen Noodle Cabbage Salad - not really the healthiest thing you will ever eat, but you can make it much healthier by cutting down the amount of sugar in the dressing. I've always made it with green cabbage vs the napa cabbage suggested in the recipe. There's something about all the crunch from the cabbage - ramen - nuts - I love it!
Ziti with Spinach, Tomatoes, Gorgonzola Sauce - I'm not a fan of blue cheese, and if you aren't either, you can substitute good old parmesan instead - although you might want to add 1/2 cup or so since the flavor isn't nearly as strong. Another fun cheese to throw in here would be those little pearl mozzarella balls - have you seen them at your grocery store lately? Little tiny balls of fresh mozz - adorable.
Orange Dreamsicle Smoothie - getting the right texture is going to depend on how industrial your blender is. I peel oranges and throw them in the freezer whole. If you don't have a Vitamix or comparable - don't freeze at all. To make the dreamsicle smoothie I use: 1 frozen banana, 2 frozen oranges, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1 cup almond or coconut milk. Blend til smooth! If using a regular blender, use a fresh oranges instead of frozen, and add some ice.
Fuji Apple Spiced Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting - I love anything with cream cheese frosting! I would probably cut back on the butter and add applesauce for the cake batter, and use only half the sugar. Of course, this may be why none of my baking endeavors go very well!

Tales of Symphonia was a definite hit. Nintendo Wii is shaping up to be the best console ever released by Nintendo.

The Bucket's List of the Top 20 Overlooked, Underrated, and Underappreciated Screen Villains of All-Time A couple years back AFI, or the The American Film Institute for the non-industry laymen, came out with their list of the 50 Greatest Movie Villains of all time. Now, while I have the utmost respect for The American Film Institute and whatever it is that they actually do, which I assume is something greater than just coming up with various countdown lists, their list of the 50 Greatest Movie Villains of all time is, to say the least, a wee bit pretentious. Unless you're an esoteric, NYU film school brat, who dresses in all back, and wears a scarf in 70 degree weather, then you probably disagree that "Man" from the classic Disney film Bambi is one of the top 20 screen villains ever. So, where is the list for the rest us, you ask? Well, just in time for Halloween, we here at The Bucket have answered the call and have put together our list of the Top 20 Overlooked, Underrated, and Underappreciated Screen Villains of All-Time.20). Dracula (The Monster Squad): "Give me the amulet you BITCH"I know we're all thinking it, but I guess I'm the only one willing to man-up and put it in print: Duncan Regehr's interpretation of Dracula in the 1987 Fred Dekker cult-classic The Monster Squad kicks, KICKS, Bela Lugosi's Dracula in the nards! In the behind the scenes featurette on the new Monster Squad DVD, Fred Dekker admits that his first choice to play Dracula was none other than Liam Neeson. Who knows how that casting decision would have altered the lives of Neeson and Regehr? Maybe Regehr would've been nominated for an Academy Award for playing Oskar Schindler and Neeson would have nailed the role of John Dirks in the 2000, direct-to-video, film Krocodylus (yes, a movie so bad it had to rip off the plot of Lake Placid). But one thing is for certain, no way in hell Neeson brings one-fifth the amount of wicked dandyism and ambigious sexuality that Regehr brought to the role of Dracula. Now, give him his props, you Bitch!19). Patrick Batman (American Psycho): "I ate some of their brains, and I tried to cook a little. Tonight I, uh, I just had to kill a LOT of people. And I'm not sure I'm gonna get away with it this time." Maybe I'm a sick guy but when I first saw American Psycho I laughed my ass off. This was the first time that I saw Christian Bale after he was an obnoxious Newsie but before he was kick ass in everything from Batman Begins to 3:10 to Yuma, and he just blew me away in this performance. His Patrick Batman was a paranoid, self deluded namby pamby rich boy who was so self absorbed it took at least fifteen killings or so for him to recognize his own morality. Bateman is a vapid souless cog in the big wheel of industry and he likes to chop his victims up with a shiny axe-- Evil? Hell yeah, I'd say he's got evil down in spades. I also loved that this took place in the 80's and how he attributed most of his murders to the albums of Huey Lewis and Phil Collins. Just remember folks it is a satire and if you, like most audiences who saw this film, didn't get that then you probably hated it. But give it a second chance you may find you really love it, and now that Bale is a big honking star, you might appreciate it even more.18). Buddy Ackerman (Swimming With Sharks): "You are nothing! If you were in my toilet I wouldn't bother flushing it. My bathmat means more to me than you!Kevin Spacey is probably best known for his great villain roles in Seven and The Usual Suspects (for which he won his first Academy Award in 1996). But I think a lot of people overlook, or perhaps haven't even seen, his stand-out work in the 1994 George Haung black comedy Swimming With Sharks. Spacey plays the Grand Dick of all Bosses, movie producer Buddy Ackerman. The film is based on Haung's own experiences as an assistant in Hollywood, however, I imagine sans the kidnapping and torture part. Spacey plays Ackerman with a devilish sense of Schadenfreudism, as he needles, belittles, abuses, and berates his young assistant Guy. The best scene in the movie is when Ackerman passive-aggressively castrates Guy on his first day for bringing back a packet of Equal with his coffee, instead of Sweet-N-Low.17). The Predator (Predator): Dutch: "You are one ugly motherfucker. There is nothing more evil or frightening than a calm, no nonsense alien that decides to come to our planet to stalk and hunt down, The Most Dangerous Game style, a group of bad ass Commandos in the jungle. When I was a kid my mom wouldn't let me see movies like this at all--so I would always go around the corner to the kid's, whose name will remain nameless, (see Ma I don't rat out my friends) house. John McTiernan's classic action-Sci-Fi jungle romp was fun exciting and absolutely terrifying. Usually in horror movies the victims are dumb, un-athletic and you can just see the target signs on their friggin foreheads. They are normally pre-pubescent teenagers to boot. Now Predator is a completely different animal. In the beginning we see the crack commando team doing what they do best, killing with efficientcy and pure uninhibited testosterone. I mean who on this earth could actually kill Jesse Ventura's Blain or Sonny Landham's Native American badass Billy. How can any human being hope to snuff out Bill Duke's sniper hard charger, Mac. Well this Predator did it all, whacked the whole team one by one, and it was only through tactics and a mud camouflage that Arnold Schwarzenegger's Dutch was able to kill the ugly Motherfucker.16). The Penguin (Batman Returns): "You're just jealous because I'm a genuine freak and you have to wear a mask!"When people remember the Tim Burton's Batman films, everyone talks about how great Jack Nicholson's Joker is, or how surprisingly genius Michael Keaton's casting was, or how hot Michelle Pfeiffer looked in that skin tight, black latex, get-up. But almost nobody gives Danny DeVito the proper credit for his performance as The Penguin in Batman Returns. So twisted, demented, and absurd you almost forget that it is teddy bear and fun drunk Danny DeVito behind all that grotesque make-up. DeVito, as The Penguin, gets to bite off a guy's nose, call Michelle Pfeiffer a pussy, touch a really hot girl on her boob, and walk around in his long johns for 90% of the movie. I bet he had fun.15). Captain Barbossa (Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl): "It'll be one pistol as before, and you can be the gentleman and shoot the lady; and starve to death yourself."Of course everyone loves Johnny Depp's scallywag pirate Captain Jack Sparrow, but who, at least in the first film, embodies true and complete badness and shows utter contempt for morality, who else but Captain Hector Barbossa from Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Jack Sparrow could be considered untrustworthy, selfish and a bit of a Brigand but he would never lay waste to Port Royale in the way that Barbossa and his pirate clan did. Geoffrey Rush's, Barbossa really encapsulates the vicious, cleverly funny and often times cruel nature of a pirate.14). Damon Killian (The Running Man):Ben Richards: "Killian... I'll be back!" Damon Killian: "Only in a rerun." Wait, original Family Feud host and Match Game regular Richard Dawson? That Richard Dawson? YES. Isn't he dead? NO. He's very much alive and completely evil in the ahead-of-it's-time, action-satire The Running Man. An absolutely genius bit of casting, Dawson plays Damon Killian, the sadistic, yet charming host and exec producer of The Running Man, a futuristic, post-apocalyptic game show where criminal contestants have to outwit, outplay, and outlast the The Stalkers, as they're hunted for sport in front of a live studio audience. Survey says… it's FUCKING AWESOME! 13). The Operative (Serenity): "I'm a Monster. What I do is evil. I have no illusions about it, but it must be done."Now those few of you who have seen the short lived television series Firefly and the subsequent film Serenity will no doubt agree with this pick as fervently as I have. It comes from the wonderfully sarcastic mind of Joss Whedon the creator and writer for Buffy the Vampire Slayer and it's spinoff Angel. The story of Firefly/Serenity follows a crew of smugglers aboard their Firefly class space vessel as they try to protect themselves and there friends from one of the greatest allies or greatest enemy in all the 'verse, depending on which side you are on, The Alliance. The Alliance is not necessarily evil they help when they can but their covert operatives are a little less gray and a whole lot of bad. Chiwetel Ejiofor plays the Alliance Operative in the film as a half Samurai/philospher with a penchant, as he puts it, for killing anything that gets in his way including children. You see he is a zealot, someone who believes so strongly in what he is doing he has no problems snuffing out an entire planet if he feels his so-called freedom is threatened. He is tough, he is smart and the most intriguing thing--he has a conscience he just chooses not to use it.12). Carter Burke (Aliens): "You know Burke, I don't know which species is worse. You don't see them fucking each other over for a goddamn percentage." A lot of people argue that Paul Reiser played a better bad guy in Bye, Bye Love. I have not seen that film, so I am not at liberty comment. But what I can comment on is his performance as Carter Burke, The Company middle-man who's secretly up to no good, in Aliens. Reiser's Burke progresses from a good guy, to a smug weenie, to a treacherous bastard. By the end, you're on your feet clapping when the character is delivered his just desserts. 11). Dr. Janosz Poha (Ghostbusters II): "Let me tell you something here, there are many perks in being the mother of a living god. I'm sure we could get a magnificent apartment, car, free parking..."Yes Ghostbusters II, got a problem with that? Janosz Poha, as played by Peter MacNichol is brilliantly funny, and as we will establish delightfully evil. Janosz is the funny smelling little museum curator who lives on the Upper Vest side of NY. He also has a creepy obsession with Dana Barrett and once he has been possesed by Vigo his eyes act like a spine chilling set of high beams, he flies and honestly looks like the scariest Au pair I have ever seen. He is also a hilarious foil for Bill Murray's Venkman. Say what you want about Vigo and the general plot for Ghostbusters II but leave Dr. Poha alone for you are like the buzzing of flies to him.10). Prince Humperdinck & Count Rugen (The Princess Bride):"Tyrone, you know how much I love watching you work, but I've got my country's 500th anniversary to plan, my wedding to arrange, my wife to murder and Guilder to frame for it; I'm swamped.""Get some rest. If you haven't got your health, you haven't got anything." And the award for Best Closet Gay Evil Duo in a Children's Fantasy Film goes to… Prince Humperdinck and Count Rugen in The Princess Bride!!! Chris Saradon plays the fiendishly foppish Prince Humperdinck and Christopher Guest plays his number two, the cold hearted Count Rugen. I know this is a little bit of a cheat, since there are two of them, but they're really like Peanut Butter and Jelly. You can't have one without the other and together they are delicious… deliciously evil that is!9). Johnny Ringo (Tombstone): "I want your blood. And I want your soul. And I want them both right now!"When you think about the awesome western Tombstone you first think about Val Kilmer's performance as Doc Holliday, then you move to Kurt Russell as an amazing Wyatt Earp but most people forget about bad ass Michael Biehn's Johnny Ringo. Sure he didn't get to deliver some of the great lines that Doc Holliday got to, but that's because he was more the strong silent type. Johnny Ringo was basically The Man With No Name, y'know from those Clint Eastwood Spaghetti Westerns, except of course Johnny doesn't really care about the little things, like y'know, morality. One of my favorite sequences in the movie is the scene where the Cowboys are enjoying a little theatre, about Doctor Faustus and the Devil. Curly Bill says to Johnny "You know what I'd do? I'd take that deal n' crawfish, then drill that ol' devil in the ass. What about you Juanito, what would you do?" Ringo, has that great fearless look in his eyes and says, "I already did it." Ringo was just like Holliday, smart, tough and as Earp asks Doc what makes a man like Ringo do the things he's done, Holliday replies, "A man like Ringo has got a great big hole, right in the middle of him. He can never kill enough, or steal enough, or inflict enough pain to ever fill it....He wants Revenge--For being born." 8). Ed Rooney (Ferris Bueller's Day Off): "I did not achieve this position in life by having some snot-nosed punk leave my cheese out in the wind."Real life creep Jeffrey Jones outdoes even himself in 80's teen-comedy classic Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Jones plays indignant high school Principal Ed Rooney, a guy with a severe superiority complex and a proverbial ruler stuck up his literal butt. Knowing what we know now about Mr. Jones makes the character of Rooney even more of a sleazeball. I mean just imagine what could've happened if he had caught up to Ferris that fateful day off? Not so damn funny anymore, is it?!?7). Roy Batty (Blade Runner): "I want more life Fucker!"Another film that I saw as a child that kind of freaked me out was Blade Runner. Darryl Hannah as Priss wearing that crazy outfit with the fro and the black eye makeup really made her look nuts. But the thing that gave me a chill was watching Rutger Haur's Roy Batty stalk Harrison Ford's Deckard in J.F. Sebastian's domicile and then later on the roof in the pouring rain. Batty is a sympathetic villain as his only true goal is to find a way to extend his life a few more years. Batty is a replicant, or an android and he's not too happy about that. He's super strong and super smart and in his desperation for a cure to his condition he is extremely deadly. Watching Batty howl to the moon with Priss' makeup running down his face and the crazed look in his eye, honestly scared the shit out of me. 6). The Cobra Kai (The Karate Kid): "We do not train to be merciful here. Mercy is for the weak. Here, in the streets, in competition: A man confronts you, he is the enemy. An enemy deserves no mercy."Sensei John Kreese and his punk minions Johnny, Bobby, Tommy, Jimmy, & Dutch – The Cobra Kai. A buncha bullies clad in black Gis, The Cobra Kai viewed Karate as a weapon, instead of an art. Of course they were just a misguided band of angry teenagers, led down the wrong path by militaristic dickhead of a sensei John Kreese, played with wrathful brilliance by Martin Kove. Unfortunately for skinny Jersey kid Daniel Larusso (Ralph Macchio), he falls in love with the wrong girl at the wrong time, and proceeds to have his ass handed to him on a plate for about 120 minutes of a 127 minute film. Eventually, good karate triumphs over evil karate and everyone goes home happy. Props to Billy Zabka, who plays the Cobra Kai leader Johnny, for selling one hell of a crane kick to the face. Stuntmen are for the WEAK!5). Gollum (The Lord of the Rings Trilogy): "We ought to wring his filthy little neck. Kill him! Kill him! Kill them both! And then we take the precious...and we be the master!"Look at this guy--what is wrong with people when they say he's actually kind of cute. Is that before or after he strangles his best friend just so he can get a shiny little ring, or when, he lived in the Misty Mountains using the ring to trick people with riddles and then stalk them and eat them. If it wasn't for a resouceful Hobbit named Bilbo, Gollum would still be in drippy cave living out his Cannibalistic fantasies. Make no mistake the ring of power from the Lord of the Rings Trilogy holds a terrible sway over poor simple minded Gollum, but does that really excuse his behavior? Hell Bilbo lived with the Ring for 60 odd years and only then did it start to screw with him, so really what is Gollum's excuse. He's a petty, selfish miserable little toady and we love him in all of his badness. 4). The Fratellis (The Goonies): "The only thing we serve here is tongue! You boys like tongue?"Before we fell in love with The Sopranos, we fell in love with The Fratellis – Mama, Jake, and Francis. The Fratellis put the funk in dysfunctional, a family so warped and twisted that they keep their deformed hulk of a son/brother Sloth chained up in their basement. Yes, it's a kid's movie! Led by sociopathic matriarch Mama, played by the gifted character actress Anne Ramsey, with her two favorite boys by her side, dimwitted Jake (Robert Davi) and weasely Francis (Joey Pants), they viciously chase our heroes The Goonies through the cavernous maze of boobie traps and pit falls in search of One-Eyed Willie's hidden treasure. Over the course of the movie, The Fratellis store a man they've murdered in their freezer, threaten to puree a fat kid's hand, and make a tied-up young girl walk the plank. Yeah, they could use some serious family counseling. 3). The Kurgan (Highlander): "Ramirez was an effete snob! He died on his knees. I took his head and raped his woman before his blood was even cold!"There Can be only one bad ass immortal and as much as I love the Highlander, Connor McCloud, it ain't him. The Kurgan, played by Clancy Brown is well...You read his quote. The ultimate warrior, if they had steroids back in the olden days of Scotland, I would've said that Kurgan was on some of that Balco crap. He has this deep dark voice and those crazy eyes, he's a madman I tell you. On top of that he can live forever and the only way you can get this psycho out of your life is to take a giant sword from the Middle Ages and slice his noggin off. When he isn't killing other Immortals, The Kurgan enjoys a nice drive in the country with Grandma on the hood of the car he just stole. He wags his tongue at her hoping that when she loses her grip that she'll get sucked underneath his Michelins. Crazy Bastard.2). Biff Tannen (Back To The Future): "Since you're new here, I'm gonna cut you a break... today. So, why don't you make like a tree and get out of here?"Everyone's favorite big, dumb bully, Biff Tannen, played by underrated comedic actor Thomas F. Wilson. Jumble up his initials, you get WTF, as in What The Fuck happened to Thomas F. Wilson? The trivia section of his IMDB page says he paints portraits of children's toys… well, I guess he's got that going for him. Seriously though, the character of Biff Tannen is one of the great, iconic, baddies in cinema history. Wilson infuses him with a great mixture of intimidation and destiny… I mean density. 1). Khan Noonien Singh (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan): "You are in a position to demand nothing. I, on the other hand, am in a position to grant nothing."And the most under-rated Villain in Cinema is......KHHHHHAAAN! That's right folks everyone's favorite genetic mistake from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Now most people look at Ricardo Montalban and say yeah he was funny but---. No question ol' Ricardo hammed him up a bit but if you look a little deeper you will see a guy who not only made Admiral James T. Kirk look like an unprepared school boy, he killed Scotty's nephew and had a hand in killing Kirk's number one science officer Captain Spock. And you know he did it all by barely lifting a finger. The entire film Khan is shoving torpedoes up the Enterprise's ass without any face to face with the plucky Admiral Kirk. Not to mention he put those little grub worm things in poor Chekov's ear. Now be honest, when you saw that for the first time it creeped you out a bit. I won't lie to you I was shoving a Q-tip in my ear for a few days after that scene. Khan is smart, angry and super strong (yes those are actually Montalban's actual pecs), and he's got some great dialogue to prove it.________________________________________So that's it folks, I hope you enjoyed Cody Dee's and Jeff's list of the most under appreciated villains. As always if you have some ideas of Villains we may have missed please leave us a comment letting us know. We would love to hear who you guys would pick.

"Me?... Evil?...Never"~ Hell UserOtaku God
i've heard of most of them. they probably should've chosen some different villains "You know what you have to admire? A Catholic hit man who blesses himself just before he strangles someone."-George Carlin
alot of them are from recent movies like barbossa, gollum etc. the guy from bladerunner was porbably a good choice though. "You know what you have to admire? A Catholic hit man who blesses himself just before he strangles someone."-George Carlin
i like them
ilike them 2 but it'd be like if darth vader was on the list. they have the predator on here. i don't think it is an unappreciated villain, there were the 2 movies plus 2 avp, and countless spinoff's. choose someone like just throwing it out there chip hazard from small soldiers. get some movies that are a couple of years old and didn't do well. "You know what you have to admire? A Catholic hit man who blesses himself just before he strangles someone."-George Carlin

NEW YORK - Democrat Andrew Cuomo coasted past Tea Party Republican Carl Paladino after an exceedingly nasty race to win election Tuesday as governor of New York - the job his father, Mario, held in the 1980s and '90s.
Cuomo, 52, led in the polls from the start of his well-funded campaign and helped the combative and conservative Paladino sink himself by shifting the focus from economic issues to Paladino's opposition to abortion and gay marriage.
The Cuomos now join the exclusive club of father-and-son governors, whose members include the Browns, Edmund and Jerry, of California; the Romneys, George of Michigan and Mitt of Massachusetts; and the Folsoms, John Sr. and John Jr., of Alabama.
Paladino, a 64-year-old millionaire developer and political novice, made some major missteps during the campaign. He got into a shouting match with a newspaper reporter and hinted that the divorced Cuomo had had affairs while married - accusations Paladino later backed away from.
He also created a furor when he said children shouldn't be "brainwashed" into thinking homosexuality is acceptable. He said being gay is "not the way God created us."
Cuomo - the state's attorney general and, before that, housing secretary in former President Bill Clinton's administration - promised to clean up state government, control overspending and rein in some of the nation's highest property taxes. He styled himself a fiscally conservative new Democrat.
As attorney general, he helped bring about national reforms in the student loan industry, on Wall Street and in corporate boardrooms. In Albany, he turned the public integrity unit he created into a force to be reckoned with.
The top job in New York opened up for Cuomo earlier this year when Democratic Gov. David Paterson dropped his election bid amid an investigation into whether he interfered in a domestic violence case against a top aide. No charges were filed. Paterson took office in 2008 after Democratic Gov. Eliot Spitzer resigned in a call girl scandal.

IPCC Releases Statement on its Principles and Procedures
2 February 2010: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has released a statement on its principles and procedures.
The Panel notes in its statement that the body represents a unique interface between scientists and governments, which aims to provide policy-relevant but not policy-prescriptive information on various aspects of climate change. The IPCC also highlights that its assessments have become, over the last 20 years, "an international gold standard" in the scientific assessment of climate change. It further says that such exercise cannot be completely free of errors but that the IPCC assessments are as close to this goal as possible.
The Panel also clarifies its principles and procedures. In particular, it notes that each assessment involves a large portion of the climate change scientific community and reviewers, and contains the following four main components: broad, balanced participation in the author teams; emphasis on a comprehensive treatment of the relevant scientific literature; two stages of widely distributed, independently monitored review; and word-by-word, consensus approval of the Summaries for Policy-Makers by governments.
The Panel stresses that it does not conduct research itself but instead assesses available peer-reviewed literature, sometimes using reports of governmental and non-governmental organisations according to IPCC procedures. [IPCC Statement on Principles and Procedures]

Conversion Rate is the ratio of visitors who turn their visits to your website into the desired action that you the website owner desire. This can be signing up for a newsletter, buying a product, becoming a member or many other actions.
Successful conversions are interpreted differently by individual marketers, advertisers, and content creators. To on line retailers, a successful conversion may be the sale of a product to a customer whose interest in the item was initially sparked by clicking an advertisement. To content website creators, a successful conversion may refer to membership registration, newsletter subscription, software download, or other activity that occurs due to a subtle or direct request from the website creator for the visitor to take the action.
There are many methods to increase the conversion rate, these are just a few:
-Generate user reviews about your products or services, these reviews can be posted on your product pages or on another website and generate knowledge and trust in potential website clients.
-Have a clear distinction on each web page for a specific conversion goal (e.g. "increase sign-ins for newsletter, buy now, sign up today") This can be different for each page on your site.
-Use good fresh content (e.g. text, picture, video and articles) on the website that clearly depict your product or service which target the conversion goal. Give them what they need to make their decision.
-Use good site navigation structure to help users find and browse without thinking too much about where to click. Use page names that apply to the page they take you to.
-Show credibility signs like third-party trust logos and use good site design to increase the trust level of a visitor. Money back guarantees help give customers peace of mine too.
-Use A.I.D.A. (attention, interest, desire, action) in your site design to move the user through the conversion process.
So search engine optimization is important, but if you get a lot of traffic to your site and they leave without doing what you want them to do, this is useless to both you and the user. Have a few friends look over your site and ask them what they think the page is "saying to them" Make changes as necessary.
Small changes can be big! The colour of a button or placement of a picture can make a world of difference in conversion rate for your website.
Google Tools offer a free service where you can take two or more different pages with slight changes or completely different designs, assign them a number as a percentage, Then Google will show those pages according to these numbers and report back on the actions of the users that viewed them. (ie: Page A gets %50 of viewers page B gets %50 of viewers, both groups see different pages, the report back from Google will give you an idea of what is better for your conversion rate.)
