Ethiopian needs Education to create technology, computer scientists, machinery, oil and gas, construction, energy, biological and mechanical weapon, medical scientists. Either an investment to implement a real technology transfer or training through practice to create knowledge in that country in the arrays mentioned is highly appreciated. Otherwise I don't see why the country is unable to print money by itself.
There you are again but this time you are for investment not afraid of big companies or investors to come to Ethiopia to create jobs. You are compelletly changed from the others comments you gave. Well done.
Aids is a sticking plaster but investment is a cure to poverty.
C'est moi senait,
Yes, It is better to rank what a country can do without a call for investor(s), and what a country cannot do but can outsources to investor(s). There are many intricated issues.
Come up with your own word do not copy a junk word that you collec from mc donnald president
$10 m kkkkk
too little, too late!
China is the answer for African
basic development, not Europe .
Not The Old Europe !!!
C'est moi Senait,
You are very lay w/man. You know your president [sic] where you may employed and enslaved! please know that I can feed what you are: rabid, shenanigan, insane, wicked person. I don't feed you with explanatory but I think that you are better described with those laconic words.
Simply you have been putting others in your image with your hasty generalization because you may know yourself, if you are nor vicious.
Wow agro-processing and manufacturing is hot one very promising investment.
john john,
I assume that what you are sayings is very acceptable.
But the written document says the investor will invest into private equity, thereby confuses as it will be invested to small and medium enterprise.
I am convinced that there is no reason to invest in "fund" or "equity" but I support to invest directly onto the enterprises.

First Round Take-aways 2013
So what did we learn after 8 great lacrosse games. 6 Things stood out after watching lacrosse virtually all weekend (thanks tivo)…
1) ANYONE can win. Even the #1 and #2 seeds struggled early.
#2 Notre Dame was losing to a 5-10 team by a score of 7-3 at the end of 3 quarters. Somehow the Irish woke up to take the game with a 6-0 fourth quarter. #1 Syracuse trailed Bryant by 1 at the end of the first, and by the end of the third while Syracuse took the lead it was only by 2 until the fourth when Syracuse pulled away.
2) Albany may have lost this year, but with a majority of players (including ALL Thompsons), look for them to make a deeper run next year…to Memorial Day Weekend. Figure out face-offs and get tighter on D.
3) Denver made a statement. Probably played the best of any team this weekend. I was impressed with the way they played all game.
4) Duke gets lucky and confident. The ball just seemed to go Duke's way from the game tying garbage goal, to the Loyola non-goal timeout. But a win is a win, and after defeating the defending champs, it just gives the Blue Devils that much more confidence. Duke is playing well, and confident…watch out Notre Dame.
5) Speaking of which…Notre Dame is still in a funk. Their fourth quarter run on Detroit looked more like desperation than a true awakening. The first three quarters they played SLOPPY and lazy. Not to take away from a Detroit team that played their hearts out, but the Irish looked half asleep out there.
6) In the process of throwing down the gauntlet to Cornell, Ohio State just thumped on Towson. They looked much better than I thought they would. Game on Cornell.

1969 Paul Blair Baltimore Orioles Game-Used Home Jersey
Starting Bid - $300, Sold For - $4,113
Baltimore Orioles home jersey worn by perennial Gold-Glove centerfielder Paul Blair during the club's pennant-winning season of 1969. Graded A9.5 by MEARS. The white flannel jersey is lettered "Orioles" across the front and features the number "6" on both the left breast and reverse. "Blair" is lettered on the reverse above the number. All front letters and numerals are appliquéd in orange tackle twill on black felt. All reverse letters are appliquéd in black felt. A Major League Baseball "100th Anniversary" patch adorns the left sleeve. A "Wilson 40" label is situated on the left front tail. Both the year and set number ("1969 Set 2") are chain-stitched in black upon a white strip tag located directly below the manufacturer's label. The "100th Anniversary" patch on the left sleeve has been replaced (the replacement is an authentic example); otherwise the jersey is all original with no other alterations. Moderate-to-heavy wear is displayed throughout, especially to the felt lettering and numbers. Paul Blair was one of the greatest defensive centerfielders of his era and the recipient of eight Gold Glove Awards between the years 1967 and 1975. Blair enjoyed one of his finest all-around seasons in 1969, batting .285 with career highs in both home runs (26) and RBI (76) in leading the Orioles to their first of three consecutive American League Championships. Graded A9.5 by MEARS (base grade of 10, with a half point deducted for the replaced patch). This is the only Paul Blair jersey, and one of only two 1969 Orioles jerseys listed in the MEARS census (the other 1969 example was worn by Frank Robinson and is graded A10). 1960s Orioles home flannels are highly desirable and this one is exceptional on all accounts: grade, player, and year. LOA from Troy Kinunen/MEARS. Reserve $300. Estimate $500/$1,000+. SOLD FOR $4,113

BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — This is a big day for Boca Raton Christian School, which celebrates its 40th anniversary tonight — and guests are welcome.
Here are the specifics:
Boca Raton Christian School is celebrating 40 years of providing a high caliber college preparatory Christian education in downtown Boca Raton. A 40th Anniversary celebration will be held on Friday, October 5, 2012 at 7 p.m. in the Boca Raton Community Church Sanctuary at 601 NW 4th Avenue, Boca Raton. Over 500 guests are expected including local dignitaries and the first headmaster of the school, Dr. Alex Ward. The event will include music by grades PreK3-12, memories and tributes to past and current staff and students. The 40th Anniversary will launch a three year capital campaign, Taking the Next Step, to provide operational support, financial aid to students and enhancements to the school buildings and grounds. In the early days of the school some of the buildings were actually WWII Army Air Corps barracks and administrative buildings. Previous funding campaigns have allowed the school to build and equip classrooms, offices, a gymnasium and a new 3-in-1 athletic field. Today the school educates over 550 students from age 3 to 18 on its one 22-acre campus in downtown Boca Raton.
Boca Raton Christian School is a Bible-centered school distinguished by its academic excellence and caring environment. The school was established as a ministry of Boca Raton Community Church in 1973 and today the student community is dynamic, multi-cultural and represents over 100 local churches. Boca Raton Christian School has been recognized by the Department of Education as a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence. The school is accredited by the Southern Association of College and Schools, Florida Council of Independent Schools and the Association of Christian Schools International. With a demanding academic climate and a commitment to serving the community, Boca Christian has an outstanding record in college placement, athletics and the arts.

January 9th, 2012| by Lost Lettermen
With No. 1 LSU and No. 2 Alabama ready to decide the 2011 national champion in New Orleans on Monday night, it's time to look ahead to 2012 for next fall's initial Preseason Top 25. With LSU returning tons of talent on both sides of the ball and QB Matt Barkley coming back to a USC team finally eligible for bowl season, we see the Tigers and Trojans taking their talents to South Beach to settle next season's national championship in a match-up of the top two programs of the last decade.

And hossa was playing with a bum shoulder that required surgery. But that's not important because it doesn't fit your argument.
Do you really want to open that box? Because I'll be happy to start pointing out like sections of your own arguments.
But hey, if we want to look into this, Franzen was playing with groin tears and had 12 goals and 23 points. And Hossa played on an absolutely stacked Blackhawks team in the 2010 playoffs and mustered a whopping three goals in 22 games. Franzen had twice as many goals and more points in just over half that number of games. How does that fit your argument?


text: During a 16-year career, supersize slugger Jose Canseco belted 462 homers—but his most memorable shots may be those he takes in this controversial diss-and-tell. Recounting his own journey from dorky teen to MVP and Madonna boy toy, Canseco, 40—now unapologetic about a "juice" habit he denied during his playing days—opens the clubhouse door on what he contends was rampant use of anabolic steroids and human growth hormone while Major League Baseball looked the other way. Claiming to have injected steroids with ex-teammates including home run king Mark McGwire and Jason Giambi—who have denied his charges—Canseco says, "the challenge is to find a top player who hasn't [used steroids]." It's easy to write off Juiced as a form of 'roid rage, a final swing for the fences by a has-been. Tougher to dismiss are the few more credible sources who have so far come forward in support of some of Canseco's claims, including one FBI agent. Or, truth be told, our own eyes.

Sefko: The three Mavericks most likely to be dealt at the trade deadline ...
Mavericks beat writer Eddie Sefko answered questions in a chat Tuesday. Here are some highlights.
RC ... I know he's injured, but is Rajon Rondo still on the market? Is he a player you would try to acquire for next year and beyond?
Eddie Sefko: For what he produces, Rondo's $24 mil over the next two seasons is actually a pretty decent bargain. But you are getting damaged goods. He's still pretty young, so he might come back from the ACL injury. But will he be the same? It would take a serious set of cajones to pull the trigger on that deal. And by the way, what are you going to give Boston that the Celtics want/need?
Josh ... Why was Cuban so eager to blow up a championship team but now he's so hesistant to blow up a terrible team?
Eddie Sefko: Pretty darn good question when you put it like that. Finances play into it. T hat other team would have cost way too much. But the would have had Chandler and Dirk to lure free agents. Of course, they wouldn't have had any money to pay them. So it's a vicious circle. Boston thought it made a nice move last summer bringing in Jason Terry. Look where that's gotten them. When you are hamstrung with no money to spend, that's the kind of moves you have to make. It's hard to get much better. And often, you get worse.
Jamie ... who are the 3 Mavs most likely to be dealt at the deadline?
Eddie Sefko: Roddy Beaubois, Dominique Jones and Vince Carter. With Brandan Wright in the mix, too. Those guys all have some value, although you're not going to get a foundation piece in return for any or all of them. Maybe a draft pick or some cap relief in Carter's case. I still think there will be a lot of teams asking for the Mavericks' veteran pieces in the next week before the deadline. Posturing is very much a part of the trade game these days.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
One of the best Discworld novels. Vimes is thrown back in time to when he was a young man just starting out in the watch. His mentor is killed by a criminal who moves back in time with him and Vimes has to become his own mentor.
He desperately wants to return to his own time, as Sybil is about to give birth, and it's only when he regains the cigar case Sybil gave him that he is able to focus on the problem at hand. (it reassures him that the future really exists and that he will be able to return to it).
my goodness. easily the best watch book, and perhaps my joint favourite discworld book generally (given that thief of time has been one of my all-time favourite books since i was eleven, this is High Praise).
"there is no more time, even for cake. for you the cake is over. you have reached the end of cake."
A most unusual Discworld novel in that it centres almost entirely on Vimes with very few cutaway scenes. Not the greatest book but it has some good points, especially if you're a Vimes fan. Here he's laid out bare for inspection.
While in hot pursuit of a serial killer, Samuel Vimes is struck by lightening and goes 30 years back in time. Can he find his way back to the present without changing history too much?
It was an interesting and entertaining story with Pratchett's amusing descriptions and comments, but not the real laugh out loud scenes of the earlier books.
One of the best Discworld imo. Despite all the war and politics and intrigue I found it easier to follow than most others. And I was able to see 'the big picture' of Pratchett's theme & vision better than in most others. And it was neat to see Vimes, Nobby, Colon, and Vetinari as youngsters, starting out their careers.
I loved this: Vimes had spent his life on the streets and had met decent men, and fools, and people who'd steal a penny from a blind beggar, and people who performed silent miracles or desperate crimes every day behind the grubby windows of little houses, but he'd never met The People."
Exemplary. Makes a wonderful point about reality vs idealism, and about humanity and humans, pokes at politicians, and is both serious and clever at the same time. That's why Pratchett is worth reading, unto at least the 31st book.*
Another: [Our heroes' turf] "lacked all the big, important buildings... government offices, banks,... civic architecture. All it had was the unimportant stuff. It had the entire slaughterhouse district, and the butter market, and the cheese market... [they were being starved of important things like government..." Even I can make out the sarcasm of that comparison!
And [Sometimes those in power should abdicate] "to spend more time with their family in case they ended up spending it with their ancestors." Um, yeah, good idea.
*As I've said in other reviews of Discworld books, the first one I ever read was [b:Going Postal|64222|Going Postal (Discworld, #33)|Terry Pratchett|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170621674s/64222.jpg|1636617]. I was hooked, and now I'm struggling to get caught up to that point in the series from the start."
A fine place to start reading Pratchett if you don't mind a few ''in'' jokes, ''Night Watch'' transcends standard genre fare with its sheer schoolboy humor and characters who reject their own stereotypes.
What makes the book intriguing is Pratchett's Chestertonian common-sense morality. While his blunt logic doesn't always equip him to deal with the niceties (at one point, he seems to argue against any controls on gun ownership), it allows him to break through liberal confusions and conservative certainties.
Not a side-splitter this time, though broadly amusing and bubbling with wit and wisdom: both an excellent story and a tribute to beat cops everywhere, doing their hair-raising jobs with quiet courage and determination.
Stories both trap people in a continuum and console them with images of beginnings and ends. Pratchett is a master storyteller.

Thursday, March 8, 2012
Science majors and professors must say goodbye to their Mulvane Science Hall home after spring break. Professors are moving into temporary offices in Case Hall while classes will be shifted to Case and Constant Halls.
Science labs had to be completed in the first half of the semester so Mulvane would be empty after spring break for construction purposes.
Professors either scheduled two lab sessions a week or added extra time.
"I think the plan is a reasonable one, and, with luck, we will be able to start next year on time in a reasonably, normal way," Gary Giachino, professor of chemistry, said.
Sophomore Megan Rosa, a chemistry major with a minor in biology, finished her organic chemistry lab during the first half of the spring semester. The only difference she saw was the length of her lab sessions.
"The workload was about the same as last semester, but the weighting was different," Rosa said. "A small mistake that would have just cost one point last semester ended up being three or four points."
Rosa's organic chemistry lab lasted four hours every Tuesday.
"I didn't feel as overwhelmed since I only had one lab and organic labs don't require a ton of outside work," Rosa said. "But some people with more than one lab seemed a lot more stressed than last semester."
Sophomore Ashley McBride, who is a biology major with a chemistry minor, is enrolled in two labs.
McBride's zoology lab meets four hours every Thursday and her general chemistry lab meets twice a week.
"Now that spring break is hitting and I won't have labs the rest of the semester, that's really nice," McBride said. "Leading up to this point, it's been really stressful and hectic. I'd rather have it all semester than cram it all in."
McBride had to neglect some of her other classes to cram for her science labs.
"It took a lot of coffee," McBride said. "I don't know what I'm going to do the rest of the semester because I feel like all I've had time to do is study (for my labs)."
Rosa said the change did not affect her overall understanding of the subject matter.
"We still get a pretty good idea of what to do, since most of the labs are making stuff," Rosa said. "You use a lot of similar techniques, so overall, I think we still got a really good lab experience."
The Mulvane renovations are seen as positive in the long run, and students and staff are willing to make sacrifices.
"Obviously it's inconvenient, but necessary," Giachino said, "but we'll survive."

Michigan basketball commit Austin Hatch has survived two plane crashes that tragically took the lives of both of his parents and two siblings. In his first game back since 2011, his teammates showed their support by rushing the court following his first made basket of the game.
The team, which you can hear preemptively celebrating before his three-pointer drops, stormed the court and earned a technical foul, which his coach told the Los Angeles Times was "the greatest technical I've been a part of."
Hatch tweeted the following after the game:
As I said after the game, my three was pretty cool, but, more importantly, we're now 14-0 😎
— Austin Hatch (@ahatch33) January 9, 2014
Hat tip to Matt Norlander of CBS Sports for the find.

For a decade, Alice Roach made and sold her Indian fry bread from a food truck she rolled to outdoor events across the Valley. In February, she opened a shop in Glendale that turns out the same piping-hot, just-out-of-the-fryer puffy bread in both savory and sweet versions. So now that White Eyes Fresh Fry Bread has a permanent home, you don't have to track down Roach's truck like a dog running after every car.
Scene: White Eyes is so named because Roach is not Native American but learned her craft from the Navajos at Fort Defiance. Her new cafe is small with just room for an order counter, the toppings bar where your fry bread is dressed and packaged and a few tables. More tables are outside on the walkway at the Albertsons shopping center, at 59th Avenue and Loop 101. Just weeks after opening, White Eyes was doing a steady lunch business. I asked one of the preparers how many rounds of bread they churn out. She said once they made 180 an hour. It's like hot Frisbees flying out of the kitchen. Catch one and enjoy.
The dough: "Fresh" fry bread might be a misnomer. Years ago, Roach realized that her food truck couldn't keep up with demand if she prepared each round from scratch by hand. So she figured out a way to make the disks of dough and then freeze them, toss them in the hot oil and prepare them to order. Unless you're a stickler, this probably works for you.
Savory menu: White Eyes offers a number of toppings on its savory menu, including ground beef, chicken, carne asada, vegetarian, green chili and red chili.
When you order a classic Navajo taco, you get the ground beef with beans ($9) and then move to the toppings stand to wait for your hot fry bread to come through the pass-through window from the kitchen. A pleasant server will cover it with traditional items, such as shredded cheese, green onions, lettuce, olives and tomatoes. You can also have white onions, jalapeños, pepperoncini, bell pepper and diced green chilies. Pile it on. It's delicious.
The fry bread here has great flavor, though it's not as pillowy and chewy as some. It's more crispy, more opaque. But it does its job as a delivery system for your favorite toppings.
An unusual choice one day was difficult to pass up: tempura-battered cod ($9), which arrived on fry bread as a substantial wedge of flaky white cod in a tender and golden batter, resting on a bed of Southwestern slaw that had just enough feistiness to make it interesting, and two slices of lemon. The cod was delicious. It was like a big, fat fish taco, and that's nothing to sneeze at. This should be a regular on the menu.
Sweet menu: The sweet side brought some disappointment. Good powdered-sugar fry bread is one of my weaknesses and the offer of half powdered sugar and half spread with the wondrous chocolate-hazelnut cream Nutella ($6) was too much to resist. If you don't eat this stuff every day, you might as well indulge.
But please, beef up the sweet stuff. The half with powdered sugar had such a scant sprinkling of sugar it looked like Flagstaff in April when the only snow left is under a few skinny pine trees. I like an avalanche. And the amount of Nutella couldn't have been more than a tablespoon, delivered in a tiny squiggle. Is it a cost consideration? Then charge a buck more and do the job right. Otherwise, we're just eating naked fry bread.
Other dessert toppings include traditional honey, cinnamon and sugar, chocolate, ice cream and fruit spreads (all $6).
Drinks: Choose a bottled soft drink from the cooler.
Lowdown: Though fry bread has dark origins in the mid-19th century with the harsh treatment of Native Americans rounded up and given "commodities" of white flour, sugar and lard, tribes turned it into something appealing. Life — and the government — gave them lemons and they made lemonade.
As long as you don't make it an everyday habit, fry bread savory or sweet is a delight and a true bite of the Southwest. Amaze your friends from Minnesota.

Around the Nation - Debut Edition
Kent Wilson
August 21 2011 09:31PM
It's been a big summer for the Nations. We've added some stellar talent to Leafs Nation, Canucks Army and Flames Nation. We had five writers at the draft and managed to debut Flames Nation radio. Oilers Nation radio has grown in audience with each iteration. And the return of the Jets allowed us to add the newest member site to the network.
August 21 2011 07:19PM
OMG OMG OMG OMG. Ryan Smyth is on NationRadio this week. Robin Brownlee hosts for the second week in a row and quite honestly we could kiss him for getting this to happen*
Cam Barker is on the show too - and you may recall he now plays with a Mr. Ryan Smyth. David Staples from the Edmonton Journal stops by too, ostensibly to discuss Ryan Smyth. Finally Ben Kuzma from the Vancouver Provence swings through. Perhaps he has some information regarding Ryan Smyth?
This is NationRadio. Enjoy!

Where--exactly--does Nikolai Khabibulin stand with the Edmonton Oilers? The answer could have an enormous impact on the Oilers 11-12 season. Tom Renney has already told us.
One-Goal Games
Jonathan Willis
August 21 2011 04:32PM
The Edmonton Oilers' record in one-goal games last season was 9-10-12; put another way they won nine and lost 22 of the games they played that were decided by just one goal.
This statistic has been cited by various figures with the team at various points of last season and over the summer as a reason for optimism – after all, if the Oilers lost that many close games, it follows that if they compete a little harder in those contests they could significantly improve their record, doesn't it?
Did The Oilers Have Bad Injury Luck Last Year?
Jonathan Willis
August 21 2011 07:57AM
Injuries at the NHL level can have tremendous impact on the team. In 2009-10, the Oilers' fall to last place in the NHL was blamed in part on injuries to Ales Hemsky and Nikolai Khabibulin. In the comments section here, various parties pointed to those injuries and asked how a team like the Penguins would do without Sidney Crosby and Marc-Andre Fleury (one hears that less often these days, for multiple obvious reasons).
Were the Oilers been particularly unlucky when it came to injuries in 2010-11?

Review: Generation Earn by Kimberly Palmer
|Email Print
One of the big complaints in the world of personal finance is the lack of personal finance education in school. We teach our young people the basic concepts of math in high school but we fail to show how it applies in real life. We have a fundamental disconnect in formal education between the skills we need to excel at work (which is what we learn in high school and college) and the skills we need to excel at life.
Just think about the brainy engineer who lacks social skills because he or she has focused solely on studying and education. They will likely excel at work but experience difficulty in life, we need to find a better balance.
When it comes to personal finance, it takes real life people writing about real life personal finance issues. That's why it's important for young professionals to read Kimberly Palmer's new book Generation Earn. It takes many of the money situations young professionals are like to have, hopefully before they tackle them, from the perspective of someone who has been there. Kim is currently senior editor and personal finance columnist for US News & World Report and between her job and her life, she's seen a lot of the concerns many young professionals face.
Caveat: This review is going to be a little biased since I know Kimberly Palmer and we're "friends" (I feel weird saying I'm friends with someone I only know through the internet), so please keep that in mind as you read this review.
The book is designed to be a guide for everyone, since we all differ in where we are in our financial life, but it focuses on life's major decisions. For example, the book is broken up into three sections:
- Building Your Life: This section focuses on the income side of the equation by looking at job juggling, managing debt, investing, and planning for your retirement.
- Creating a Home: This second part focuses on some of the social aspects of your financial life like living frugally, starting a family, marriage and discussions of money.
- Changing the World: This final section focuses on philanthropic and charitable endeavors, which I think is something many books of this kind gloss over.
Sprinkled throughout the book are "Quick Tips" that are usually less-than-one-page sidebars that focus on a topic that is important but doesn't warrant an entire chapter. They include tips for networking (Mastering the Business Lunch) and finding the right credit card. Many of these Quick Tips rely on the knowledge of an expert in that area, so you get a double dose of good information. If you just flipped through the book, reading each Quick Tip, you'd come away with some useful information you didn't know ahead of time.{ 3 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

Do You Like 3D Ultrasounds?Melanie Blodgett
Today we had an ultrasound and to my surprise, the black and white image turned into a 3D look at our baby. To tell you the truth, it was hard to make out much while looking at the screen but then the tech printed a few stills and I was stunned at how detailed the images were. At first it took me back a little bit. I couldn't believe I was seeing what our baby looked like without him even leaving the womb. Ever since I knew I was pregnant (heck, ever since I met my husband) I've wondered what our kids would look like and the answer was sitting right in front of me. I was studying every detail.
The first thing I definitely noticed was his nose which is prominent just like his mom and dad. Then I noticed how much he already looks like my husband, very much a boy. If we hadn't found at the sex I for sure would have known after seeing his picture today.
During our wait for the doctor, I found myself just staring at the three images (that is when my husband wasn't hogging them). And the more I looked at them, the more I got over the initial shock and I felt more attached to this little baby than I've felt the entire pregnancy. This is my son and I love him so much. I even told my husband while walking back to the car that I just wanted him to come out now.
So do I like 3D ultrasounds? At first it seemed weird and like it was ruining a bit of the surprise and wonder but now I'm happy I got a better glimpse at him today because it made me even more excited to meet him.
Have you had a 3D ultrasound? What did you think?

Anyone know of any free music mixing software where I can...
...overlap the end of track one over the beginning of track two and then burn the whole thing to a CD. Again, the mix could have 12 tracks, each one overlapping the other, not a CD mixed as one track. Kinda like whaty pro-tools does but for free.

Giraldo, however, wasn't surprised in the least.
The junior broke a tie and defeated South Plainfield's returning state medalist, Corey Stasenko, 3-1, on that late score to claim his first state championship.
"I was the underdog even in the quarterfinals, but not everyone knows what I'm doing in the wrestling room," Giraldo said. "I'm working just as hard as them so in my mind, I'm not thinking that way.
"Some people were stunned and some people were happy to see me win. I know that the people who are with me in the room everyday, and my family who sees how hard I work, weren't surprised."
Giraldo, a fifth-place finisher at 120 in last year's tournament and a fourth-place finisher at 112 in 2011, wasn't content with going into overtime so late in the match and instead wanted to give the crowd something to remember.
"My coach is always telling me to go put on a show for the fans," he said. "I'm always trying to put points up on the board and there was still time on the clock. I was going to wrestle as if there were two minutes on the clock."
Stasenko actually looked like he was going to win it with a takedown attempt about 30 seconds earlier, but Giraldo was able keep one of his legs out of the reach of his opponent on the edge of the mat and fend off the potential two-point score.
The tables later turned on Stasenko, as it looked like he might fight off the ankle pick, but the referee had already awarded the takedown to Giraldo, who ended the season at 39-2.
He becomes just he second North Bergen state champion in school history, the first since John Bott won in 1983.
"I'm always telling him that he's the best wrestler in the state, and he just needs to believe it," North Bergen coach Jerry Maietta said of the first state champion he has coached.
"And you know what, he's the 126-pound state champion this year."
Stasenko, who was key wrestler on a South Plainfield club that ended this year as the state's top-ranked team for a second straight season, finished his senior year at 39-2 . He had placed sixth in the state last winter wrestling at 145 pounds.

BLOOMSBURG - Endless Records and Endless Hats, a music and clothing store, has a lot more going on than its explicit and seemingly exhaustive name suggests.
Located in the Moose Exchange building, Bloomsburg's not-for-profit arts and culture hub, Endless Records is hosting its third annual Cover of a Cover exhibit this month through Nov. 16.
The exhibit features album covers that have been reinterpreted and reimagined in multiple mediums by local artists. Each piece is displayed side-by-side with the original cover in the Moose Exchange's Stairwell Gallery.
Article Photos
The vase at left, designed by Melissa Matthews of Bloomsburg, is a recreation of Santana's "Marathon" album, original at right.
This photo features 2012 album covers reimagined for the "Cover of a Cover" exhibit at Endless Records and Endless Hats in Bloomsburg.
This photo features 2012 album covers reimagined for the "Cover of a Cover" exhibit at Endless Records and Endless Hats in Bloomsburg.
Inspired by a gallery in San Francisco, the exhibit has grown in popularity and submissions since it began two years ago, but the bulk of the pieces still come from art students at Bloomsburg University under the tutelage of Sue O'Donnell, associate professor of digital art.
"The Cover of a Cover show is a great experience for my students," said O'Donnell. "The concept of re-interpreting an album cover allows the students a lot of latitude to use their imagination, not only in their response to the original cover art, but also to the music."
Citing the accessibility and affordability of the exhibit, O'Donnell continued, "For many of my students, the show represents the first time they will have had their work seen in a public exhibition."
The works on display range from exact replicas of LPs to less literal, more imaginative redesigns in the form of beadwork, jewelry and even pottery.
One entry this year is from Melissa Matthews of Bloomsburg, whose interpretation of the Santana album, "Marathon," which features dark Greek figures foregrounded by a blazing orange fire, takes the form of a vase.
"The vase idea is one of two entries I have this year," said Matthews. "The idea came from sorting through record albums and as soon as I saw Santana's album, I knew it was one that I wanted to do this year. I bought an old ugly pink vase from the Salvation Army and did layers of paint creating what looked like the Greek marathon runners on the cover of the album."
Matthews' use of a simile understates her achievement. Her vase is so carefully crafted and so primal that it could just as easily be confused as the inspiration for the original album artwork.
Another artist, Luann Gilliland, who had been a fan of the exhibit for some time, now has her work featured in the gallery. Gilliland, a jeweler, submitted a few necklace/earring sets, one of which was inspired by the Iron Butterfly album, "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida," evoking the aesthetic of the cover through its color palette instead of replicating it exactly.
"The album cover features a photo of the band from a concert and in the background are two giant psychedelic orbs floating about their heads. As soon as I saw these orbs, I knew I had beads in the inventory that would translate into this album cover."
On the event itself, Gilliland said, "It touches a wide range of people. The art mediums used are as varied as the artists themselves.
Twenty people can look at the same album cover and they will come up with 20 different interpretations of that cover. That's the beauty of art!"
The Moose Exchange is located at 203 W. Main St., with operating hours of 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, during which the Stairwell Gallery is open to the public.
Photos of past Cover of a Cover exhibits are available for viewing on the Endless Records Facebook page.

About conversion tracking
Conversion tracking is a free tool that shows you what happens after a customer clicks on your ads -- whether they purchased a product, signed up for your newsletter, called your business, or downloaded your app. When a customer completes an action that you've defined as valuable, these customer actions are called conversions.
Use conversion tracking to measure your AdWords results
Why use conversion tracking
- See which keywords, ads, ad groups, and campaigns are best at driving valuable customer activity.
- Understand your return on investment (ROI) and make better informed decisions about your ad spend.
- Use flexible bid strategies (such as target CPA, enhanced CPC, and target ROAS) that automatically optimize your campaigns according to your business goals.
- See how many customers may be interacting with your ads on one device or browser and converting on another. You can view cross-device, cross-browser, and other conversion data in your "All conversions" reporting column.
How conversion tracking works
Conversion tracking starts with you creating a conversion action in your AdWords account. A conversion action is a specific customer activity that is valuable to your business. You can use conversion tracking for these sources:
- Website actions: Purchases, sign-ups, and other actions that customers complete on your website.
- Phone calls: Calls directly from your ads, calls to a phone number on your website, and clicks on a phone number on your mobile website.
- App downloads and in-app actions: Downloads of your Android or iOS mobile apps, and purchases or other activity within those apps.
- Import: Customer activity that begins online but finishes offline, such as when a customer clicks an ad and submits a contact form online, and later signs a contract in your office.
The conversion tracking process works a little differently for each conversion source, but for each type besides offline conversions, it tends to fall into one of these categories:
- You add a conversion tracking tag, or code snippet, to your website or mobile app code. When a customer clicks on your ad from Google Search or selected Google Display Network sites, a temporary cookie is placed on their computer or mobile device. When they complete the action you defined, our system recognizes the cookie (through the code snippet you added), and we record a conversion.
- Some kinds of conversion tracking don't require a tag. For example, to track phone calls from call extensions or call-only ads, you use a Google forwarding number to track when the call came from one of your ads, and to track details like call duration, call start and end time, and caller area code. Also, app downloads from Google Play will automatically be recorded as conversions, and no tracking code is needed.
Counting conversions
There are two important conversion tracking metrics: conversions and converted clicks. You can view both metrics in your conversion tracking reports.
- Conversions
For each conversion action, you can choose to count every or one conversion after each click. The "Conversions" column of your reports will display conversions within your chosen conversion window, according to your selected counting method. The "Every" setting is useful for counting every instance of sales, while "One" is used to count only one conversion when the same person generates multiple leads (Example: one person fills out 2 different forms requesting to be contacted about different services you offer.)
- Converted clicks
The "Converted clicks" column shows you the number of AdWords ad clicks resulting in one or more conversions within your chosen conversion window. Note that the converted clicks count doesn't reflect the relative value of each converting click. Clicks that lead to high-value conversions (such as multiple purchases) aren't distinguished from those that lead to low-value conversions (such as a single newsletter sign-up). Also, you can't segment the "Converted clicks" column by conversion name, source, or category, because each ad click can lead to multiple conversions. If you were to segment by conversion name, some converted clicks could be counted more than once, and your segmented converted clicks would add up to more than the total.
Learn more about these different metrics and how they affect bidding and reporting.
Security and privacy
Google's security standards are strict. Only pages containing the Google conversion code are tracked through this program. We use data encryption and secure servers.
Privacy is also very important to Google. That's why we do the following to protect your customers' privacy:
- Conversion tracking cookies persist for a limited time only.
- Conversions aren't isolated: This means that you can't match conversion data to specific customers, just see overall data for ads and keywords.
- Conversion tracking includes the option to notify customers about cookies: During the setup process, we'll help you create a notification box for your website that lets your customers know they're being tracked. This is known as the Google Site Stats box, which appears on your conversion page -- the page customers see after they complete a conversion. This notification appears only for customers who've been referred by Google to your site on the same device. When customers click on it, they see a page explaining how we use cookies and how they can disable them. Customers will also have an opportunity to provide feedback about your website.
- Promote a clear privacy policy: If you don't use the Google Sites Stats box, we ask that you review your website's privacy policy to make sure it discloses your use of tracking technology.
If you choose to use it, we recommend placing the Google Site Stats notification in the lower-right hand corner of the conversion page, no further than a quarter of the screen away from the last line of content.

- Listening to: World War Z soundtrack
- Reading: Deception Point
- Watching: Suits
- Playing: Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon
But it was the most exciting 4 days in terms of games for me ever! There's 4-5 games I can't be more excited about...
MGS5: Phantom Pain
Watch Dogs
Tom Clancy's The Division
Killzone: Shadow Fall
Infamous: Second Son
...maybe except for MGS other 4 games are hitting my soft spot EXACTLY. This is exactly the stuff I wanna play!!!
Take your art to higher lever in 4 simple steps!
For people who are serious about drawing and want to make career in art! And for me to stop getting questions on how to practice, or how do you get better
Are you stuck and don't know how to carry on making great art?
You just want to draw better?
If an answer to any of these questions is 'yes' then you might find this interesting...
Since the only thing I ever acknowledged myself good at is getting better I decided to share a couple of tricks.
I truly believe it works in every single case.
It's true. You can get out now or shut up and listen and get better.
(oh and do I need to mention that you need to draw a lot to get better?
I didn't draw a lot and still got better because I followed the steps listed below. But yeah, may not work without drawing a lot...)
Step 1. Honesty.
Be aware of your own limitations. They're usually bigger than you really think, despite what people say. I won't be talking about false honesty in this article.
Stop lying to yourself, for heaven's sake.
If you are not doing/drawing something, frankly, it's because you can't. Not because you are afraid to do it. It's connected in a way, but it only comes down in being or not being able to draw something.
To get better you need to become really honest with your art.
Like, in my case; I draw something, which is still so much better than most of images out there, but when I comment that I don't like it and it sucks it means that I really really think that it does. I don't care what other people think in such case (I mean I always do, I wouldn't share it if I didn't care, really, but it's not this kind of 'caring'...)
I have my own standards. I browse lots of art, go to galleries and art exhibitions and I see now there's very very few people in the world who know their shit. I wanna be those people, but the stuff I draw most of the time? It's not even half way there.
I'm just being honest with myself, I don't need people telling me 'aww it's alright I wish I could draw like you'. I mean, it's sweet, and I love you guys, it's cool if you wanna draw like that, but I don't, end of story. It's kind of okay, I'm kind of on the right path, but it's not that great.
(this is an honest explanation of my approach, please don't be offended!)
If you are honest with yourself it will help you realize your goals. What you can, and what you cannot do. What you cannot do now, and what you will become able to do, in a month, half a year, 5 years from now, if you apply the following to your workflow.
Step 2. Feedback. The most important one.
This is the ultimate trick.
You know what? 99% of people don't get it.
You wanna be the 1% that do, of course.
I've had a couple of people that I worked with in my life. I drew something and they told me what's wrong with the picture. I usually returned the favor. If you don't have that somebody you can go to for feedback, join a couple of forums!
I did... there's plenty of people willing to help you out when you show them you respect their comments. Be prepared though. I've had a couple of bruises on my heart because somebody stepped on the picture I thought looked ok, set it on fire and flushed in the toilet But I've never let my shit fall apart.
But! The good thing about feedback is, the person you ask doesn't even have to be an artist. My mother is a perfect feedbacker, for instance. Nothing ever works for her, it's amazing. She rips my work to bits and pieces all the time.
But you don't have to ALWAYS listen to the feedback, you need to be able to defend your opinion. It's up to you what's right in your picture.
Okay, wait, if you are a beginner then it'd be better if you listen to every piece of feedback you get and be thankful to heavens for even getting it.
Even if you don't like it, and feel like getting into a fight with them! If you share your pictures with the internet it means that you want them to be looked at! So it's your goddamn business to listen to how people feel about them...
I started from random comments at dA, like 'this hand looks weird', or 'his torso looks like banana'. I never made the same mistake twice, ever. I literally made lists of my weak points to pay attention to!
I don't get this kind of comments anymore, because there's no need for them.
But I still go to others for feedback, I ask people I trust. Often I randomly ask people I'm talking to over Skype to tell me if they think something's off in the picture (but I need to know the person well, some people are less... inquisitive and thorough than others.)
Most of industry pros do that, it's normal.
You won't get ANYWHERE without it. It's normal that you don't see certain mistakes, you need someone with a fresh eye. It's so much faster to have your mistakes pointed out in your face the moment you're done, than let the picture rest until you can see it with fresh eye...
'I just draw stuff however I want and upload it, I don't give a damn what others think, this is my art/style/whatevs'
Wrong. This fella ain't getting nowhere. He's afraid to get feedback, hear some harsh words.
Step 3. Observation.
There are two kinds of 'artists', observers and non-observers.
Non-observers irk me, because it's like, come on, what are you even drawing for. Non-observers doodle for fun on the marigins of their notebooks.
You know how easily you can define what kind of artist I'm looking at?
I'll tell you - very easy. A nanosecond. It's not even funny.
And it has nothing to do with the level of said artist (although this skill comes with time, but many people either have it or not).
There's a couple of elements that most of artist just keep getting wrong. Like hairline. Have you ever noticed how hair grows from your forhead and temples? How the hairline gets closer to the eyebrows? How easy it is to define the age of the character you draw with receding hairline? No? Yes? Are you sure? Go back to step 2, and show your pics to somebody. Also, like elbows (correctly drawn elbows are so hard to come by these days). Like metal. And so on.
I'm not even mentioning hands, because they're on a whole new level of difficulty. But if you're observant enough you should get them right...
That's how when I had a break from drawing - even when it lasted 6 months - I didn't really get worse. I never stop looking at stuff that surrounds me. Not drawing means only loosing fluent brain-to-hand communication, but a couple of days and I'm back on track.
Observation is crucial for concept artists. Concept artist needs to know how things work to be able to create something fresh.
Did I mention that observers are rare.
I believe that everybody can become one though, but first you need to be honest with yourself (step 1) and answer a question: how do I look at things?
(It was also my trick, back in the days, take the hardest thing to draw and keep drawing it until you feel it, and it becomes your favorite. Use it as a mean of expression.)
Step 4. Reference.
Now, when you learned to see things through, not only look at them (kidding, it takes time, so be patient!), you can start using reference.
That's the word.
It's a blessing, somebody who invented reference should get a Nobel prize.
No, wait... since the beginning of the world or the fine art as we know it at least, artist were basically painting what they see. Used reference, ripped off whatever surrounded them.
Rubens, Alphone Mucha, Norman Rockwell, so why can't you? Trust me, if you paint something with 100% understanding of what you see, they will teach about you in (art) schools. Reference is your friend.
If you are too lazy to look for it... it's okay, drawing is always fun.
You won't get anywhere without reference. If laziness is the case, then you need to go back to step 1. and answer the question: how much are you set on artistic career?
Harsh words, but I met many people who've been working ten times as hard as me or you.
That's all...
But there's an additional step!
Study of the masters.
Of course you can figure out stuff by yourself, but trust me, none of the artist you look up to really do.
Why not look at others' work and check out what looks nice? What works for painting?
Study masters. They knew a lot, that's why they're called masters of fine art.
Of course you cannot really copy somebody and call it your own work. Incorporate what you learn from studies into your own work. Nobody will give a damn where you learned this kind of strokes if the painting looks neat, everybody will just love it. It's all about results.
You won't really make much out of it if you're not observant (step 3), so yeah.
None of these steps is actually drawing, cause I believe progress is all about approach.
Now if you start drawing while applying these steps, you'll get better easily, I tell you. If not, then something went wrong. Maybe you're not really honest with yourself.
Always try to draw new stuff, repetition kills progress by a long shot. It's better to draw new stuff with same principles in mind, than drawing same things over and over again.
It may sound harsh, and all, but that's how it really is, if you want to make great changes to your art. I know it's just not for everybody. As I mentioned before this is only for consideration for people who want to make career in art.
So... Feel like giving it a try now?
I'm looking for something to read (that I haven't already, and I don't have that much time to read stuff anymore - I have about 100 books to read for uni anyway...orz)
Fantasy, sci-fi, urban fantasy, anything not all that realistic~ Just tell me what you find worth reading! Pretty please
I just don't want to wake up and realize I haven't written anything for 2 years or something... : )
I don't know what happened to my previous journal (I wrote it about a month ago), I couldn't see it and then it just disappeared, I'm extremely sorry to all who commented and I didn't reply Sorry!
Me and Anika got ourselves a dealer's table at MCM London Expo in May, so we won't be in the Artist Alley after all! (we had our flight and hotel booked beforehand so when we learned that all tables are booked out we panicked haha)
Sorry for the lack of updates even though I'm far from idle as of late... But I won't be able to share what I do at work for another couple of months/a year maybe until the games are out. But I'm doing some concept art/environment designs in my free time for clients and I'm working on a graphic novel, so stay tuned! I'm excited to share what I learn every day~ I think it's too soon for me to work in game developement, I make so many rookie mistakes, but I'm happy they took me in despite my lack of experience (they pay very well too, so I'll finally have the money to go to Dubai!) This year is going to be nicee~
I'm terrified at a mere thought of the academics year end and finals though... I will probably have to take leave from life in June to pass all the exams (Japanese literature, oh joy!)
Hope you are all well, guys~ I really miss being more active here, but I don't have much time nor motivation to finish my personal work. dA (that is you) is what shaped me as an artist, and I won't ever forget that <3
ps. I've finally seen Wreck-it Ralph! Animation was lovely but I think I liked the soundtrack the most! I have a thing for retro electronic tunes <3 www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIT8FK… www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_O1ty…
Miss you guys
Anyways, very sorry for being dead over here, I've been busy on so many levels, school, giving lectures, conventions, signed a couple contracts this year as a freelance artist, all that is taking away pretty much every little free while i have left... but i like being busy : )
I'm coming down to London for the MCM once again this year (October 26-28th, that's next weekend!) Hope to see you there ^^ My banner didn't fit in my suitcase though :c charms of living in a place from where getting anywhere involves getting on a damn plane.
I'm gonna have some posters (including some 1000+ yrs old manga stuff, for the last time), postcards, keyrings and stuff with me, also will be doing commissions... Please stop by to chat! : )
Here's where we're going to be located!
It's alright if you don't notice me among all the other awesome people that I'm going to be surrounded with, though :I
so yeah like for real lineup of osom :I i don't even T_T
can't wait to meet you guys there
It's been exactly a year since my first day in school in a new country. It felt so neverending while it lasted, and I'd love to say that it's over now, that everything's back to normal but... it's not. Did you ever experienced something that changed you entirely, that nothing could ever go back to the way it was before? Well I have that feeling.
I've been to places I never dreamt I'd visit, but still it was quite to be expected. What I definitely did not expect is to meet all those amazing people. They may not know that, but I learned a lot from them. I learned to take my time with things. I learned a new language. I learned the boundaries of my capabilities. The distance that is between me and my friends taught me to value every single moment spent together. For that I can never be thankful enough.
I could go into details now, share my experiences, but nothing can ever summarize what quite happened. I tried giving a true counting of what I've seen and done. I did not presume to understand all the aspects of that so very different culture and environment. But I got used to it much more easily than I thought (and now I just wait for the moment when I can go back, haha; THE FOOD).
I know I am grateful to have partaken in all this. Even if for a moment. But it's not quite over yet. I still have some places to go to OTL I'm very curious where I'll settle in the end and I'm looking forward to that moment. All that luggage that waits to be unpacked! haha
Anyways, I think all that can be easily noticed through my art somehow... First a huge break, than stuff that was quite a turnaround from what I liked to draw before, and it goes on haha Again, I got to talk to people I really admire as an artist (and I'm honored to be able to call them my friends) and they helped me figure things out. It was a good change. I don't know, maybe I was meant to follow that path sooner or later...
Thanks to all those people who bear with me no matter what and how I draw. It means a lot to me!
Oh, and got a new phone so I can use Instagram! I'm saharaam there too~
Hope things are ok with you guys, and that it was a good summer! : )
I was thinking about giving something back to the community, since I get tremendous support every time I check deviantart and I'm very thankful for that ;^; Just feel like I wasn't giving back to the community even 1/10 as much as I get... I'll be working on a tutorial or two as soon as I get back (just don't know what is the thing you'd like to see the most)...
but in the meantime, the first person who screenshots my 500,000 pvs kiriban and sends it to me in a note will get something from me, probably a simple drawing of choice. And I mean, simple, I'm already sleep deprived haha~
Please enjoy your holidays/summer!!
Hello darlings, just writing to let you know that you might wanna grab the latest IFX issue 85 (August 2012) as it has my feature there... On one hand i still don't think I'm worthy, on the other hand I'm super happy that IFX guys decided they wanted me there... those images are pretty old by now haha~
Won the Lost Kids cover contest
this piece brought me the first prize in FelipeCagno's The Lost Kids cover contest. Woah really didn't see that coming!! So honored ;_;

Office for the
ADA General
An individual with disabilities' right of access to "reasonable accommodation" is truly at the heart of the ADA. In essence, an "accommodation" is a modification of established procedures or existing physical space to allow full access to and participation in those activities enjoyed by the general public. Accommodations may be as simple as placing blocks of wood under a table's legs to make it high enough for use by a person who uses a wheelchair, or as complicated as widening doorways, or rewiring light switches so they can be lowered to wheelchair height. It is important to note that accommodations need not be expensive, and as long as employers and others subject to ADA regulations made a reasonable effort to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities they will (usually) find themselves in compliance.
* A discussion between the employer and employee regarding appropriate accommodations is important in order to initiate or maintain a positive work environment. It is essential to remember that accommodations will vary for every individual.
Accommodations Costs
The following
cost breakdown illustrates the overall
Sears indicated that pf the 436 reasonable accommodations provided between 1978 and 1992*:
*Source: US DOJ ADA Fact Sheet
Flexibility and creativity are key when it comes to the development of mutually beneficial solutions to accessibility problems.
Challenging the Stigma of Assistive Technology
Workplace Accommodations: Inexpensive and Effective
A major goal of the ADA is to enable more people with disabilities to succeed in the labor force. Employers must provide "reasonable accommodations" to employees and job applicants who have disabilities, so long as these accommodations do not impose an "undue burden" on the employer. Despite the misconception that the cost of job accommodations is high, the facts indicate the opposite: The Job Accommodation Network (JAN), an information service sponsored by the President's Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities, reports that the cost of accommodations is typically very low, around $200 per employee with a disability. A recent Annenberg study of job accommodations made by Sears, Roebuck and Co. nationally found an even lower typical cost of less than $50.
Of the accommodations JAN recommends, many (17%) require no expenditure whatsoever. Such accommodations might include re-arranging an office to provide more maneuvering room, allowing a technician to sit for part of his work day, giving a job applicant with a learning disability extra time to take a test, or providing a reserved parking space to an employee with a mobility impairment. In the Sears study, a majority (69%) of accommodations incurred no direct cost, generally involving changes to work rules or schedules, job reassignments, or enhanced training or supervision.
In addition to the 17% that cost nothing, a further 52% of JAN's recommended job accommodations cost employers less than $500. Examples include purchasing wrist pads for a computer user with repetitive stress injury, a phone amplifier for a hearing impaired employee, an ergonomic chair for a back problem, or a special computer screen for someone with a visual impairment. An employer might hire a sign language interpreter for a training session, install soundproofing to enable a worker with a brain injury to concentrate, or install a railing in the restroom.
The level of employer satisfaction with such job accommodations is striking. JAN's numbers reveal that 82% of employers found the accommodations they made to be "extremely effective" or "very effective." More than half (53%) reported that they had been able to hire or retain a skilled employee, with the accommodation resulting in improved productivity. Many reported that the modifications they'd made had saved them the trouble and expense of hiring and training someone new. In general, employers reported substantial financial benefit as a consequence of small investments of time and/or money in accommodating workers with disabilities. At Sears, for example, administrative costs of replacing an employee average around $2000, a figure much greater than their typical accommodation costs.
Results from a 1995 Harris poll of employers confirm the low cost and high employer satisfaction associated with reasonable accommodations:
