Google (ticker: GOOG) filed to sell 14.2 million newly issued shares (actually 14,159,265, as in Pi, 3.14159265), adding 8% to its float. The offering will raise about $4 billion, yet the company hasn't specified what it plans to use the proceeds for. Analysis:
- Google has explicitly stated that it isn't planning large acquisitions. According to the WSJ (paid subscription required),
Google Chief Financial Officer George Reyes last week said Google wasn't planning any splashy purchases, but rather was focusing on "teams of engineers, great technologies that are available at fair prices." Speaking at an Aug. 9 Pacific Crest Securities conference in Colorado, Mr. Reyes added, "I wouldn't expect to see us do anything big anytime soon."
- Yet the sell-side analysts speculate about acquisitions. Here's the WSJ's survey of analyst reactions; most focus on acquisition possibilities. For example, Goldman's Anthony Noto thinks that Google will purchase companies in China and Russia (a Russian technology company worth over $1 billion?????), and Morgan Stanley's Mary Meeker thinks that "this cash balance could allow the company increased flexibility to consider large strategic acquisitions". The sell-side analysts' shopping list includes AOL, Baidu, and smaller search technology firms.
- Large acquisitions are inconsistent with Google's strategy. Google's acquisitions to date have been focused on enabling technologies, not on purchasing market share. But a billion-dollar-plus acquisition would almost by definition be a market-share acquisition, for example in the content creation business. Note that Google's founders have stated clearly that Google views itself as an aggregator and gateway to content, not a content creator. That rules out AOL. It's also unlikely that Google would purchase a firm like Baidu, since that would be an implicit admission that Google lacks confidence in its core competency - search technology.
- That leaves two possibilities. Either Google wants the cash for large infrastructure projects, or it doesn't need the cash but thinks this is an opportune time (price) to sell stock. The type of infrastructure project Google would be strategically interested in would be information or data related, like its book-scanning project and Amazon's GPS photo project. (Amazon sends round GPS-enabled trucks to photograph buildings for use on online maps.)
- Most likely? Google doesn't need the cash. Leading Internet companies are strong cash-flow generators. eBay has funded its acquisitions (such as Rent.com and Shopping.com) from the immense cash-flow thrown off by its business, as that's the best way for the company to maintain its return on equity. Google is already sitting on $2.95 billion as of end-June, and generated $625 million of cash in Q2.
- Either way, this is bad news for GOOG investors. It goes without saying that if Google wants to sell for no reason other than stock price, that's a negative signal. But a large infrastructure project would also be a short-term negative, as Google's margins would be hit and revenue would be generated with a lag after expenses were incurred.

Hi PGV BILL EVANS is my all time favorite and I envy you because you are in for the musical thrill of a lifetime .I t would help me if you could mention the names of the tunes you refer to Good Listening charlie
As a newcomer to Bill Evans (man, where has he been all my life? incredible!), i recently bought the first two volumes of the "Bill Evans Trio" transcriptions from Hal Leonard. They don't list recording dates or the albums from which the transcriptions are taken, however. As Evans recorded many tunes more than once under varying circumstances (live, studio, different backup musicians,, etc.) and my money is limited, i was hoping to find the exact albums to pick up to coincide with the transcriptions. i emailed Hal Leonard about it, but haven't received a reply. does anyone with these BET volumes (#1 - 4) have this info and could they share it? any help would be appreciated. thanks.
p.s. this is my first post to these boards and i'm sure glad i found 'em.
Hi PGV BILL EVANS is my all time favorite and I envy you because you are in for the musical thrill of a lifetime .I t would help me if you could mention the names of the tunes you refer to Good Listening charlie
charles a pirozzi jr.
That's pretty odd HL doesn't list the sources for the transcriptions. I've looked through these pretty closely, but don't own them; I'm sure I'm confused, since there are so many books out there now with good Bill transcriptions, but I recall a number of volumes, perhaps the HL ones, which went off at least some tracks from the classic Riverside albums. Regardless if they're transcribed in the book, you'll definitely want to own "Explorations," "Waltz for Debby," and "Sunday at the Village Vanguard," and "Portrait in Jazz" -- the albums with Scott La Faro and Motian. Borrow from a library/friend to check if they're the ones written up?
I'd be curious to know which tunes are in these volumes as well, and it would help narrow down which albums are in question.
I just googled "Hal Leonard Bill Evans Transcriptions" and this came back for
Artist Transcriptions
Table of contents
Alice In Wonderland
Autumn Leaves
How Deep Is The Ocean (How High Is The Sky)
Peri's Scope
Waltz For Debby
When I Fall In Love
Is this one that you just purchased? I'm doing this from memory since I don't have my CD collection in front of me right now. Here would be my guesses as to the sources:
Alice In Wonderland - "Sunday at the Village Vanguard"
Autumn Leaves - "Portrait in Jazz" (2 takes on RM version)
How Deep Is The Ocean (How High Is The Sky) - "Explorations"
Nardis - "Explorations"
Peri's Scope - "Portrait In Jazz"
Solar - "Sunday at the Village Vanguard"
Waltz For Debby - "Sunday at the Village Vanguard"
When I Fall In Love - "Portrait In Jazz"
There are two live recordings at the Vanguard, I think they are "Waltz for Deby" and "Sunday at the Village Vanguard" and I often get them confused. There is also a jazz discography website you might wish to check. I know these recordings well since the early Evans recordings were where I first started transcribing stuff. I wore out alot of vinyl back then but it was great ear-training!
I hope this helps and let me know if I have the wrong edition, and maybe you could post the table of contents.
That's exactly how I would have placed these versions -- at least the versions of "Alice in Wonderland," "Solar," and probably "Peri's Scope" are pretty definitely the classic ones you cited. I don't know any other versions of these particular tunes, with the exception of "Peri's Scope," worth mentioning. I'd be surprised if "Autumn Leaves" weren't the famous one off "Portrait in Jazz." There are lots of good versions of "Nardis" by BE, but of course the one you cited is (to my ears) the best (or at least the most familiar) and has been transcribed a number of times. "When I Fall in Love" is almost surely from "Portrait" as well.
I sometimes wonder how professional transcribers treat the problem of "re-transcribing" already-published transcriptions. "Peri's Scope" was transcribed (pretty accurately, if I remember) by John Mehegan in one of his beginner's books. The solo from "Nardis" has already been done long ago, in addition to some others. It must make life pretty easy to be able to check and correct someone else's transcription, reprint it, and gain whatever rewards the publisher offers.
Good that HL did the transcriptions from the classic albums, unlike some of the other volumes I've seen which relied upon relatively obscure performances.
yeah, jazz man, that's it. thanks for the tip, there! sounds like those are 4 essential albums in the BE canon, so i know it's money well spent. i finally did get a reply back from HL and i found their reply interesting...
"Dear Michael,
Thank you for your email. Unfortunately, we do not have records of the recordings from which these transcriptions were taken. Sometimes the original recordings go out of print or are reprinted in new collections. Also, our transcriptions are often done over many years by different transcribers. We have no way of keeping track of the recordings. As a print music publisher, we can only offer you the best transcriptions possible for your playing enjoyment.
Hal Leonard Corporation"
is HL customer service just being lazy? i know i've seen recording dates listed in other HL transcription books... hmmm....
Well, I'm sure the person answering e-mails at Hal Leonard isn't a jazz musician who is familar with the recordings intimately -- my guess is that the person in charge of editing the volume effed up and couldn't be bothered with providing a correction, even provided Hal Leonard had some easy way to communicate with him or her in the time-frame people seem to want a response. Or else he or she is dead or otherwise "out of the loop" customer service-wise. Like I said, you can't go wrong with the classic albums, but, like you said, it might be tricky to track down the exact versions on some of the other solos on the other volumes.
A good place to get all those albums cheap is www.emusic.com. They have all the Bill Evans albums mentioned and many more. You can download a track at a time if you like. The first 50 tracks are free and you can cancel after that if you'd like.
I signed up for this service a few months ago (40 track / $9.99 a month) and continue to find music that I absolutely love.
When I'm learning a new song from the Realbook I can usually find a few different versions of it to expand my perspective on interpretations.
I hate it when my sax player says he wants to do things a certin way becauses he's only heard one version of a particular song.

A man has been charged with murder after a woman's body was found in the Counties Manukau area early today.
Counties Manukau Detective Senior Sergeant Dave Pizzini said police were called to an Otahuhu address at 1.30am.
"A 34-year old woman was found deceased. A 37-year old male, who also lives at the address, has been charged with her murder," he said.
The man appeared in Manukau District Court this morning, and was remanded in custody until Monday.
A post mortem examination is scheduled for tomorrow morning. Mr Pizzini said the dead woman's name would not be released until her next of kin had been notified.
The homicide team, consisting of 12 detectives and uniformed officers, were not seeking anyone else in relation to the incident, he said.
Mr Pizzini later confirmed the dead woman was Samantha Rangiawha, 34, unemployed, of Otahuhu.
He said a weapon had been found at the scene, but would not comment further.

I have read online that a huge part of adoption home studies involves questions about your childhood. I had a very rough childhood, and endured a lot of physical and emotional abuse, and I worry that will affect my chances of being able to adopt. How much of an affect will that have on their decision?
This is an extremely common concern for potential adoptive parents. First, what happened to you as a child is not your fault. We do not chose our parents, and we could not control what happened to us as children. Also, it is not true that because you had an abusive childhood you will be an abusive parent.
The home study process does involve questions about your childhood. These questions are intended to help you think about how you plan to parent. Although it would be wonderful if we could all use our parents as models for our parenting, many people learned from their parents what not do.
The questions are not intended as a way to screen out families who have grown up in abusive families. The social worker who conducts the home study will have been trained to sensitively deal with these issues.
Some of the best parents have grown up in abusive homes because they have spent a lot of time examining what happened to them and made conscious decisions about how they want to parent. Please do not eliminate adoption from consideration because of the home study questions about your childhood.

No Zoom

Among Royals, and royals-followers, this season ultra-broadbrimmed hats are in fashion, whereas penguins will tend to favor the Carmen Miranda fruity variety….
Three cheers for Randy Andy:
hip hip HUZZAH
hip hip HUZZAH
hip hip HUZZAH!
—That felt quite satisfying.
In retrospect so very odd…. Dianna's unhappy marriage, her untimely death, Charles' on going affair and now second marriage.
We can all recall the 'glam treatment' Will & Kate got this summer.
What's odd to me is that Charles and Di really got the "glam treatment" for their wedding too and look how THAT turned out! Sometimes I feel a little bad for the royals . . . . many of them would be your average joe thrust into a very bizarre life beyond much of their choosing. (And then I remember how freaking rich and privileged they are) I think for as much as people are disgusted with them, we're still willing to make a big deal out of them for entertainment.
Is there any chance of adding the zoom feature to this comic strip?
The size of the font is very difficult to read.
try to refrain from attempting to outrun the camera clickers
While pressing the "Ctrl" key, press the "+" key ("-" to reduce the zoom).
Everyone seems to forget that Prince Charles and Diana were not given the choice about who they would marry. Charles had wanted to marry Camilla back in the '70s was told she was not suitable. Diana's father wanted her to marry the Prince of Wales since he was rejected as the consort for Queen Elizabeth and he wanted his grandson to be the king of England. Due to how badly Charles's and Diana's wedding turned out Prince William was allowed to pick who he wanted to marry, which happened to be his long time girlfriend who also happened to be a commoner.
As far as I can tell, GoComics only has the zoom available for comics that have a higher resolution image available. Having a larger image is sometimes helpful, but having a larger AND clearer image is even better.
As for having a higher resolution image available for Bloom County (or The Boondocks), I've been barking up that tree for years.
Also William and Katherine were seeing each other for 6 years unlike Charles and Diane who were only allowed 6 months. I hope that Harry will have the same luck as his brother.
Wow, the Randy Andy strip! I saw this when it first came out (egads, probably a quarter century or so ago), and to this day I can't be introduced to a Randy or an Andy without thinking, "Randy Andy, Randy Andy, Randy Andy!"
In any family, in any society, uncles will always be favored over fathers because they provide all the fun and none of the rules.
I remember an early strip where Chuck was trying to get the baby to say "Father"; instead, the kid's first word was "Figurehead." Go figure.
English is not my native language and I did not even know, at the time this strip came out, what the word "randy" meant. Needless to say, when I learned the meaning of the word this strip instantly became a Bloom County favorite of mine!
Randy Andy! Randy Andy! Randy Andy!
Sorry, I just could not resist…
I never thought to see uglier hats than her mother-
in-law affects, but Camilla has out-elizabethed
elizabeth with her frightful millinery!
Out of the mouth of babies, how little we really knew then.

The President's
a poem I wrote a number of years ago, I coined the word "sadappy." I
still like the word because it captures that odd, simultaneous mixture
of sorrow and joy I experience on infrequent and rare occasions. Graduation,
for me, is one of those occasions.
On May 13, we say goodbye and good luck to some very
special seniors. A commencement that, at one time several years ago,
must have seemed so very far away for our seniors is now upon them.
Commencement is an ambiguous term. While it means "to begin," it also
signals an ending. Our graduates begin a new phase of life filled with
exciting challenges, while they also end their daily learning and interactions
with us at Ozarks. Life will not be quite the same for any of us. We
each gain something; we each lose something.
Graduates, this campus will always be our connecting
point and your touchstone. You were important to us as students, and
you remain important to us as alumni. We will share your triumphs and
rejoice in your successes. Your positive influence on Ozarks will remain
long after your graduation.
Come back and visit us soon. How about real soon!
Dr. Rick Niece

Liliana Castillo
With the completion of its newest house in Clovis nearing, volunteers with Habitat for Humanity of Roosevelt and Curry counties are looking ahead to Portales projects.
Executive Director Joyce Davis estimated workers would finish the house at 1625 Cameo St. in Clovis in three to four weeks.
Randi Hale of Clovis and her two sons are the prospective residents.
By the first of September, Davis hopes to start more work in Portales. Habitat leaders are considering building two houses at once.
Frank and Hope Stroud's family is next in line for a house, and Sonja Dunlap has been selected as well.
"The benefit is that it's like putting money in the bank," Frank Stroud said of owning his own house.
As a homeowner, Stroud said, he wouldn't have to give money to someone else and risk the landlord selling the house and forcing his family to move.
"It's more stability and security for me and my family," he said.
Stroud and his wife have six children and all but one still live at home.
"God's taking care of us and helping us take care of the kids," Stroud said of the family's partnership with Habitat.
Davis said Habitat has the land for two homes and building both at once would likely save money when hiring contractors and ordering materials. She is also concerned about national building codes.
"There are just lots of challenges with those new building codes once they're accepted," she said.
Updated codes are expected to require fire-supression sprinkler systems in the ceilings of all new buildings, Davis said. While the city of Portales hasn't accepted those codes, she is concerned the city could be forced to adopt them in the future.
Davis said the sprinkler systems would not only add $3,000 to $4,000 to the cost of a Habitat home, but they also couldn't be tested without ruining the house, and leaks would cause major problems.
As for the Portales prospective homeowners, Davis said the Strouds and Dunlap are delightful people and have all finished the volunteer work they must complete before construction starts on their houses.
"They've been working hard with us," she said.

Service is becoming a critical part of IT's role. Now, a range of vendors are taking a tip from Amazon.com, providing online catalogs from which IT customers can order standardized services, and IT organizations can establish workable service levels and track the status of service requests without getting the help desk involved.
In the long run, this approach can simplify IT operations and lower costs. Defined services can help keep IT focused on important tasks and let the tech group devote more time to critical operations. Standard deliverables mean no one has to reinvent similar wheels for different customers.
IT service catalogs set common expectations for both the IT organization and users. They also help define service-level agreements based on different customers and services, and define operational-level agreements between internal and external providers. The catalog approach can make IT support groups more responsive, because the support crew must meet the agreed-on time frames defined in the catalog. Finally, an effective IT service catalog can drive the definition of configuration items for a configuration management database (CMDB) project.
But there are risks as well. Anyone who's ever had an online order lost or delayed with no explanation will think twice about using that vendor again. The same goes for IT services. Each service offered must be described in detail in the service catalog, and specific performance indicators and other metrics have to be applied.
A catalog approach can be extremely difficult to implement if your organization has multiple engineering teams supporting services that are unique for specific customers. Few such teams follow a standard process to document or track nonstandard services, and they tend to fall off the operational radar screen. Changes to these nonstandard services can break them and cause performance outages, SLA violations, and other performance issues.
In larger organizations, just tracking down custom-built services can be a major battle--especially if the engineers responsible for them are no longer around.

he thought it was pam anderson's. good thing he looks good in plaid.
He's going to dip his tic-tac-toes in the water.
Shouldn't the lines be white?
didn't the sun move, at all?
They are white. You are forgetting how wide the straps are on a beach chair (about 2 inches)
I wasn't going to s ay anything, but my thought was that this must have occurred on the day the earth stood still. Then I thought, "No, let's allow the cartoonist to have his way. It IS funny, after all."
It's funnier than the woman I met who managed to get a plaid bruise. She whacked her arm several times on the same edge, horizontally and vertically, over the course of 4 days. It matched her purple, green and blue plaid skirt.
I think the coloring is the result of the cartoonist trying to convey a plaid sunburn with pen and ink, then a colorist trying to color a pen and ink drawing of a plaid sunburn.

My Writings. My Thoughts.
Indie3 & Catacomb!
Last week was Indie3, and I got to showcase the game "Catacomb" alongside Sleepless Studios. Catacomb was developed over the course of 2011, and was received remarkably well. I worked alongside Evan King, writing the music and designing the sound effects for this game.
Korn Remix Contest – Second Place!
It's not game-music related, but I have some amazing news! My remix of "Narcissistic Cannibal" placed second in Korn's remix contest! This means that Korn will soon feature my music on their social media pages, which have almost eight million fans! It feels completely surreal. Be sure to take a listen to the remix on the MDK Page of this portfolio.
MDKSound Redesign
The website's gone through some massive changes (both graphically, and in terms of content!). I'm still working hard to get it 100% complete, so please bear with me if you see anything strange! HUGE thanks to Tyler Hinton of Doodlebin Games for the amazing graphics. He's highly recommended if you're in need of a graphic designer!

Did I mention that I have a lot of garlic these days? It's grown about 2 miles down the road from us at Charman Farms — so when I say I have a lot of garlic, what I actually mean is that I have just shy of 5 lbs — 6 different varieties — of fresh, juicy artisanal garlic with some serious bite.
Bite can be good, but sometimes (like say, after tasting over 12 varieties of garlic, RAW, on an empty stomach) mellow is what you need. "Roasted garlic is mellow," I said to myself as I was rubbing the dry spice rub onto the chicken legs destined for the smoker, and ultimately for our dinner plates that evening, "so hot smoked garlic should be mellow AND smoky, right?"
I love it when I'm right.
I prepared the bulbs as though I was going to roast them in the oven. I removed the excess papery skin, cut the top 1/4 of the bulb off to expose the cloves, and then lightly rubbed each whole bulb with olive oil to prevent them from drying out in the heat of the smoker.
I chose a couple of bulbs of Tibetan garlic, as well as 3 bulbs of Spanish Roja.
We have a handy-dandy Bradley Smoker, made right here in BC, from what looks to be the shell of a bar fridge. I'm not making fun here! This awesome little until holds 4 racks or beef jerky, pork butt, sockeye salmon — you name it — and there's always a little extra room on the top rack for some peppers, eggplants or whatever else I've got a hankering to try smoking.
The garlic took about 2 hours at 220° F (100° C), which makes these babies hot smoked. It is also possible to cold smoke garlic, but that's not what we're doing today kids, so stick with the program please!
I used hickory — which is a strong tasting smoke — 'cause that's what we had. In an ideal world, I would have used Maple or Cherry. But that's a land with peppermint forests, gumdrop mountains, gingerbread orchards and where Bradley Smoker Bisquettes come free of charge.
Speaking of ideal worlds, if you don't have a smoker, there are a number of different ways you can MacGyver your way to a functional home smoker using equipment you probably already have in your kitchen.
When they came out of the smoker, the cloves were soft, brown and buttery. And if that's not the perfection definition of mellow, then you can take away my chef's knife right now for forever.
To be honest with you, the Spanish Roja didn't even make it onto the toast. We just sprinkled some with maple smoked salt and savoured them, one melt-in-your-mouth clove after the other, until a whole bulb was gone! At that point I wrapped up the other 2 bulbs and stashed them in the fridge for another day.
I mashed the Tibetan cloves with some butter and coarse sea salt, then spread it on some toasted baguette slices and garnished with parsley, freshly ground pepper and a couple of oven-roasted tomatoes. We munched on them in front of the TV before dinner, but they would also make nice crostinis to serve beside a soup or salad.

4 October 2012
Momentum is growing for groundbreaking improvements to Michigan's public preschool programs. Statewide business leaders are leading the way.
"It's become clear to the business community there are thousands of job openings going unfilled for lack of people with adequate skills," said William Parfet, chairman and CEO of MPI Research in Mattawan and a member of the executive committee for Business Leaders for Michigan. "Over the long run, the very best way to move toward a skilled work force is to increase sharply Michigan's investment in early childhood learning programs. Research demonstrates they get kids ready for kindergarten, and those who go through the state's Great Start Readiness Program are considerably more likely to graduate from high school than those who do not. It's a long, long overdue reform that we need for a prosperous state."
Consider these momentum boosts this year:
Public preschool expansion proposals — State Superintendent of Public Instruction Mike Flanagan and Sen. Roger Kahn, R-Saginaw Township and chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, are both proposing a more than $100 million expansion of the state's Great Start Readiness preschool program. And Gov. Rick Snyder is considering preschool expansion as part of an ongoing overhaul of how all public school operations in Michigan are financed. All of those approaches are expected to be deliberated in the Legislature over the next several months.
Business groups rally behind the cause — More than 110 business executives have signed on to a policy platform called the Michigan Early Childhood Business Plan. Developed by the Children's Leadership Council of Michigan, that business plan calls for preschool access for Michigan's roughly 30,000 eligible but un-enrolled 4-year-olds. Signatories include representatives from Business Leaders from Michigan; the Detroit Regional Chamber of Commerce; the Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Lansing, Howell, Traverse City and other regional chambers; the Small Business Association of Michigan; and dozens of individual corporations. Likewise, the business-led Talent 2025 initiative in West Michigan has supported public preschool expansion.
Major policy gatherings focus on preschool— The state's two premier economic and state policy conferences – the Mackinac Policy Conference in June and the West
Michigan Policy Forum in September – both featured preschool as a major issue. The West Michigan Policy Forum concluded by naming state investment in early childhood as one of its top five policy priorities.
In essence, Michigan business executives are echoing a national call for a fundamental reworking of public education to reach at-risk children much earlier in the stages of brain development. Many state and local business groups across the country – ranging from trade groups to chambers of commerce – are spreading this message along with noted economists and many education experts. Read about them in the Michigan Early Childhood Business Plan.
"I'm so excited that the business community in Michigan has recognized how enormously important it is to increase investments in early childhood," said Grand Rapids entrepreneur Mike Jandernoa, a former CEO of Perrigo, Inc. "It's by far the best way to improve the lives of kids who need help. We need to make these changes – right now! And if any section of our society can help move this fundamental long term reform, it's the business community."

"It's become clear to the business community that there are thousands of low-paying job openings going unfilled, because our miserably low wages amount to less than the cost of day care for young minor children. Therefore, Michigan Job Creator/Business Leaders (who ordinarily and ritually oppose all such 'nanny state' programs) do in this special case feel that all Michigan citizens must be taxed to fund daycare, I mean to say
… Pre-K Education… for the future workers of the Global-Information-High-Tech-World-Class-Brain-Based-Economy, but even more importantly so that the Business Leaders/Job Creators of Michigan may continue to offer low wages while maintaining high (tax-sheltered) profits, "said William Parfet, chairman and CEO of MPI Research in Mattawan and a member of the executive committee for Business Leaders for Michigan.
I see now it's become clear to the Business Leaders the importance of education. Just two years ago they were the only ones with a plan that included CUTTING teacher's pay and increase classrooms sharing resources.
Am I the only one sick of these silver spoon cry babies trying to tell everyone else what to do?
I would say not considering the Occupy movement, the troubles of the Romney campaign, and the backlash against Scott Walker in Wisconsin.
I'm voting for President Barack Obama this Nov. 6th. I say tax these self-important billionaires and we'll fix social issues ourselves.
For Mr. Parfet personally, just because you play a Commodore in yout yacht club doesn't make you one in real life. Nobody is asking for your advice so stop giving it.

The City of Fresno Finance Department works with over 25,000 businesses and events annually. The Business License sections of the Fresno Municipal Code state the requirements and regulations under which all businesses shall operate [FMC Sections 5-101 and 5-102].
There are usually questions by our customers about the term "license" according to the Fresno Municipal Code. The term is not meant to construe a professional certification of an ability or accredited diploma by this municipality. Rather, it is a term referring to the ability of the City to gather revenue in the form of taxes where persons carry on any trade, calling, profession, or occupation in the City.
The term "permit" refers to the business activities engaged by persons or groups identified by the City Council as needing to be regulated or controlled for the good of the citizenry at large. See the Business License Checklist for further information on who needs to obtain a business license.
Therefore, as identified by the Fresno Municipal Code, particular businesses will be required to have both business license/tax certificate(s) and specific permit(s) for those activities stipulated by the code.
Please note there are other agencies and/or departments within the City system as well as county, state and federal governments, which may have requirements for permits [example, conditional use permits] that are in addition to and/or need prior approval.
In order that the city maintain service commitments, it is important that you provide accurate and complete information on the application[s] you submit. Modified or incomplete information may cause delays and/or stop us from complying with your requests to legally conduct business within the City of Fresno.

Wind farms create a few permanent jobs
Laramie, Wy – At the beginning of the wind symposium last week Governor Freudenthal asked the wind industry to create jobs in Wyoming. That is happening in some places already. In Converse County three wind farms started operating in December. County Commissioner, Ed Werner, says the construction of the farms was all part of a single project and that did not lead to any permanent jobs in the county, but maintenance of the project will. "I think it is around ten jobs I think they were anticipating at that project and that's pretty good. They're good paying jobs. Ten new people in town, or ten people who were underemployed or otherwise poorly employed can step into those jobs. That's always good."
Werner says in his county alone there is already another wind farm under construction with more building likely to happen next year too.
He says the new industry does put a strain on local services like law enforcement and the hospital. Werner says he would like to see a tax on wind energy to create a permanent source of funding for counties.

Yet Another Desktop/Laptop Usability Step
By casper on Apr 26, 2005
I discussed the new USB hotplug support in vold before, but in the last few days we've also gotten the virtual keyboard/mouse driver in the next Solaris release. People often complained about the fact that their laptop keyboard died until the next reboot when they plugged in a USB or other keyboard. Well, not anymore! We now have virtualized keyboard and mouse drivers which collect events from all available keyboards and present them through a single virtual keyboard and mouse. It is also still possible to use the devices as seprate devices in case you have a multi-head/multi-user environment, but for the common case of a single system with multiple keyboard (laptop + keyboard) this is another big step.
You can plug in the other keyboard at any time, running under X or the commandline, it just works.

International Journal of Information Management
The Journal for Information Professionals

The journal impact factor is a measure of the frequency with which the average article in a journal has been cited in a particular year. The impact factor helps you evaluate a journal's relative importance, especially when you compare it to others in the same field. To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2012 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years.© 2012 Thomson Reuters, 2012 Journal Citation Reports®
Editor:Philip Hills
Aims & Scope
The International Journal of Information Management (IJIM) is an international, peer-reviewed journal which aims to bring its readers the very best analysis and discussion in the developing field of information management.
The journal:
• Keeps the reader briefed with major papers, reports and reviews
• Is topical: Viewpoint articles and other regular features including Research Notes, Case Studies and a Reviews section help keep the reader up to date with current issues.
• Focusses on high quality papers that address contemporary issues for all those involved in information management and which make a contribution to advancing information management theory and practice.
Information is critical for the survival and growth of organisations and people. The challenge for Information management is now less about managing activities that collect, store and disseminate information. Rather, there is greater focus on managing activities that make changes in patterns of behaviour of customers, people, and organizations, and information that leads to changes in the way people use information to engage in knowledge focussed activities.
Information management covers a wide field and we encourage submissions from diverse areas of practice and settings including business, health, education and government.
Topics covered include:
Aspects of information management in learning organisations, health care (patients as well health workers and managers), business intelligence, security in organizations, social interactions and community development, knowledge management, information design and delivery, information for health care, Information for knowledge creation, legal and regulatory issues, IS-enabled innovations in information, content and knowledge management, philosophical and methodological approaches to information management research, new and emerging agendas for information research and reflective accounts of professional practice.
In 2002, Elsevier launched Library Connect, a new initiative bringing together many of Elsevier's library-focused efforts. For more information about this initiative and to read or subscribe to the complimentary Library Connect Newsletter, please visit Library Connect

Logitech UE 900
"This is my first review so keep that in mind. I bought a pair used UE 900's at Cex, an electronics resale store in San Francisco.

I contacted Logitech tech support and was shipped a complete UE 900s for a replacement! They were quick and helpful..." --caffed

" I've been a big fan of NuForce and its products for many years. I've owned several of their headphones, IEMs (in-ear monitors) and their well renowned u-Dac 3 portable headphone amplifier and DAC.

NuForce - NE-6 - Earphones
" I initially bought these as a temporary replacement for my AKG K26Ps that crapped out on me after being left in a car for two weeks, and because I knew I'd want earbuds for music on the go.

His much-anticipated third studio album "The 20/20 Experience" is just one week away from being released in the US, and Justin Timberlake is increasing promotion there. After performing and hosting on the latest 'SNL' episode, the Memphis native appeared on NBC's 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon' on March 12 for an 'interview + performance' gig.
JT spoke to his buddy Jimmy about coming back to 'Saturday Night Live', did a hilarious impersonation of him and clarified the 'Kanye West diss', besides talking how "The 20/20 Experience" project came together, during the interview. Later on that Monday night, Justin treated the audience with a smooth, and rocking performance of "Pusher Love Girl", a cut from "The 20/20 Experience". He didn't wear his suit and tie this time, but still did this thing. By the way, industry experts predict his new LP can sell more than 500k copies in its debut week! Say what!?. All bow down for the King!

I met with my IT guy this afternoon in a vainglorious effort to to link my Facebook Fanpage with my Twitter and MySpace accounts. My goal...to achieve virality! That's right, virality. A century ago when infectious diseases reigned supreme, virality meant something entirlely different, and in a bad way-a very bad way. It meant that a handshake, a cough, a sneeze or some seemingly innocuous and completely unplanned and inadvertant or accidental physical contact, could lay waste to thousands of other people all over the world. Sort of an apocalyptic butterfly effect. Virality was the enemy.
Today; however, it is the hope of every entrepreneurial and entertainment wannabe, cyber-fanatic and just plain old run-of-the-mill freakazoid (I use this term lovingly) to go viral. With the click of a mouse (and a fair share of Internet and social networking savvy), tens of thousands, if not millions of people can watch you brush your teeth, know the contents of you alimentary canal, appreciate your thoughts, listen to your music, feel your pain and/or think about YOU.
In short, through the miracle of the Internet, we need never be alone! And if we are lucky; and yes it does happen, we may be discovered and claim our 15 minutes of fame.
What is it about the possibility of going viral that so entrances us? Is it simply the next big thing to want to be the next big thing? Or does the real appeal of virality lie in the sense of connection afforded by being linked-in, friend-requested and twittered? Is virality an antidote to the lonlieness, isolation and disenfranchisement that is often associated with depression, dysthymia and social anxiety. Or is it a reflection of the painful and poignant 'anomie' that is a by-product of our seemingly normless society that sociologist Emile Durkheim spoke about. Is it an electronic plague that threatens to further deepen the divide between us?
Maybe it is simply the knowledge that "we got people" that gets us through the night. At any moment, our Facebook page can light up with birthday wishes, we can receive a tweet from a new friend on the other side of the world or 68,345 people will watch the family dog fall over backwards while sleeping. It is no surprise that some of the more popular television commericals link branded products with virality. The Verizon guy, who used to wander across the planet asking "can you hear me now" is now accompanied by an army of peoploe, ready to listen and serve. He is no longer a loner seeking connection but an ambassador of interconnection. Similarly, the H&R Block advertising campaign assures you that they too can provide you with people. Death may be an isolating event, but taxes doesn't have to be.
Is "going viral" a good thing...a bad thing...both or neither. Is it a socially sanctioned (and ocassioanlly well remunerated) form of exhibitionsism? Is it collective voyeurism, one step below America's Funniest Home Videos on the social networking food chain? Maybe in the final analysis, it is the newest incarnation of the American Dream of connection, opportunity and hope?!
Please visit some of the fascinating PT blog posts that address this phenomenon including "Going Viral" by Dennis Rosen and "Author Bill Wasik on Viral Culture" by Carlin Flora.

We are sorry you feel this way. Booking a holiday going the next day is going to cause issues with availability given the fact they go on sale a year before.
Unfortunately we do not have the human resource to input over 10 million holiday offers each day. All offers upload automatically and are not input manually as you suggest. The system will scan the cheapest flight with the cheapest hotel that you have selected and searched and bring back the results.
To leave a 1 star review for a holiday having no availability the next day is extremely uncalled for, you haven't made a booking, the holiday is simply no longer available as you have left it until a day before. Holidays do not work like train tickets, they need to be booked more in advance.
Written on: 24/08/2016
So why advertise and state you can do this for people as far as I am concerned and rob people blind who work hard for their money to have a holiday last minute

Hi, who we dealt with earlier this week
When you chose to book your trip to Egypt you we aware of the separate flight and hotel arrangements that had been made. Obviously the situation in Sharm is outside our control. There is no obligation for ANYONE to refund ANY part of your arrangements - the hotel is still open and flights still operating. However appreciating your sensitivity and not wishing to travel you have been provided with a full refund of your flights, and a full refund of the hotel. Your admin charge is non refundable as we still have to administer your booking.
No reasonable person would suggest that spending hours obtaining the various refunds from the relevant suppliers that they are not obliged to provide you with and ensuring then administering payment to you should be done for no reward - hence why admin charges are non refundable. In turn we will not be able to ask our advertising mediums as ask them to refund the advertising cost of anyone that booked to go to Sharm.
When you choose to make a purchase of any item the contractual obligations are advised at the relevant time - and your ungrounded comments above are simply lies.
We are not profiting from the cancellation of your booking - quite the opposite as we are not receiving our commission from the hotels or airlines. We are still charging our admin charges as we are still expected to administrator your cancellation and ensure the safe refund of your funds.
The poor customer service is preposterous as you appear to have taken umbrage at being asked to be patient at a time when we were prioritising clients in resort and requiring IMMEDIATE assistance. At that time you were politely advised that you still had 15 days left before travel and at that time when the airlines had not decided whether they were continuing flights.
Not entirely sure what "love to spoit T & C" actually means, but if that is a referral that we are working by the terms and condtions that you have agreed to abide by then of course we apologise - but as these terms are industry approved and standard practise.
Finally you were offered many solutions throughout the time when you felt we were not helping you which you chose not to accept - my suggestion is that you should not use the poor situation in Egypt as a political tool to expect services outside to the terms that you agreed to book under

There were no direct seats home, only in-direct flights, something you did not want which is fair enough. In future the busiest most expensive period of the year is better to book much more in advance than a week, that way there are no availability issues and you can avoid any potential disappointment. But to clarify, with any airline, there were no direct seats home hence you were offered what other flights were available.

Just to update my review. Weve just got a call from 321. The holiday weve booked isnt available. Its taken them 2 days to tell us this. Apparently theyve FOUND us another holiday still going tomorrow but instead of Paphos, were supposed to be going to Turkey!!! Were supposed to be getting an email anytime soon to confirm this. This company are incompetent at the best. The staff just laugh and sound VERY insincere when you talk to them. A very DONT CARE attitude.

We are sorry you feel you had a bad experience. From time to time when booking last minute deals a couple of days before a bank holiday this occurs. Flight prices go through the roof and airlines overbook their flights. We will always try our best to get you away within budget and did on this occasion. We always ask for patience on last minute peak holidays and the very reason people come to us is because we can secure the last minute holidays cheaper than you can source the flight costs at.

we were told we should have booked with a different company because you were surprised we left it so late but isn't late deals what your company deal in.
Written on: 26/05/2015
You are correct, we do, many companies will not touch last minute peak holidays due to the amount of availability issues and resulting complaints. We give people a chance to get affordable peak holidays last minute but of course issues arise as the supply out ways the demand. With flights as much as £700 per person to normal holiday destinations we are able to offer families a cheap holiday if they've left if very late, but patience is needed while our team try to find something within the budget. Many companies will not even entertain a 'get me anywhere last minute' quote.

Have just booked what looked like a lovely holiday to Benalmedena for 4 adults and 1 child (albeit there are only 2 adults, 2 teens and 1 child). Total price comes up on screen and a reference number. Each time you google it a different price comes up but hey ho it wasn't a million miles off. First problem our return airport in Managua (which is in Nicuagra) instead of Malaga. Second issue is Agency bonding Fee of £18 per person per flight which is of course in the small print of the terms… Read Full Review

As a result of this review, we have been moved to a different hotel (we're told there have been a few problems with the hotel originally booked) all names on the booking have now been amended, a partial refund of the agency bonding fee has been made and a voucher issued towards the cost of our next holiday.
The manager who called was very helpful, even returning a call on his day off, and the refund was received by post within 24 hours.
Moral of this story...be sure to know the right questions to ask when making a booking (this was my first time of booking this kind of holiday). Check all fees are included in the TOTAL PRICE!!!
Overall, sales and management very helpful, admin poor. A whole lot of hassle but some confidence restored. We will see what the holiday brings.

I agree Cjd1959. Glad you had success with the management of 321travel. If 321travel made a few adjustments to their website and included the agency bonding fee on the front page in their total price they would have far less people ringing them up complaining as the customer could just click the button and finish the process without having to ring them at all. From all the review's I've read this charge seems to be a lot of the issues with 321travel. Also the only other problem with the website was that it didn't clarify that our booking was for 2 rooms. Other than that it would have been less stressful for us and also for them. It's making it very difficult for the management with the customer service when a few small adjustments would make it plainer to all involved.

We are sorry for the experiences you feel you had and are happy to see things have been sorted for you both. The peak period Bank Holidays always increase the call volume 100% as everyone is desperate to get away and the demand far out ways the supply. Admin lines can get very busy at these times of year but every issue will be sorted as soon as we can. Thank you for the positive feedback on the website and all comments regarding any improvements are always duly noted.

I got a holiday to lanzarote over a hundred pound cheaper than anywhere else, my flights on the way home stop via Dublin which is obviously the saving I couldn't get elsewhere but only 3 hours, bit annoying but worth the saving in my opinion. Hotel is all inclusive in the pocilos end of Porto Carmen which looks quite nice, all for less than 200 each. See how it goes but all positive so far!

Written on: 13/04/2015
Hi, how would we get your card number if you did not make a booking? This post is a complete fabrication of the truth.
You booked a holiday and called back to cancel, as per our terms and conditions cancellation fees apply. I'm sorry if you feel this is unfair but this would be how every single Airline/Travel agent would work.

Please contact Trading Standards with regards to this practise which is misleading. I have encouraged many individuals to do the same which is useful to aid Trading Standards in there investigation. I also recommend contacting Discount Center where they advertise this, they will be more than helpful as they have received a number of complaints.

NEW ORLEANS — A long-awaited trial over the biggest U.S. oil spill began yesterday, with governments, businesses and individuals blaming BP PLC mostly for the 2010 disaster that killed 11 rig workers and spilled4 million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
"Not only was it within BP's power to prevent the tragedy, it was its responsibility," Mike Underhill, a Justice Department attorney, said at the trial over legal culpability for the and spill.
The trial is being held with no jury before Judge Carl Barbier in U.S. District Court.
Attorneys for other plaintiffs also slammed BP executives, as did attorneys for two of the well owner's co-defendants, rig owner Transocean Ltd. and cement-services provider Halliburton Co.
BP lawyer Mike Brock said all three companies are to blame.
BP must show that its mistakes do not meet the legal definition of gross negligence required for the highest amount of damages. BP already has spent or committed $37 billion on cleanup, restoration, payouts, settlements and fines.
Liabilities could stretch into the tens of billions of dollars if Barbier determines BP or the other defendants were grossly negligent.
Most observers expect a settlement before a verdict.
Underhill said that less than an hour before BP's long-troublesome Macondo well ruptured and caused an explosion, BP's top well-site leader on the rig called an engineer in Houston to discuss a critical pressure test that indicated problems.
Company officials did not stop the operation and "11 souls had 47 minutes to live the rest of their lives," Underhill said.
Underhill said the accident could have been avoided if onshore engineer Mark Hafle and well-site leader Don Vidrine had done their jobs. Vidrine faces separate criminal charges, as does Robert Kaluza, the other highest-ranking supervisor aboard the rig.
Transocean's attorney, Brad Brian, came out swinging against BP, saying rig workers trusted the company and died betrayed. Brian noted that BP employees had referred to Macondo as a "well from hell" in emails.
In BP's opening, Brock said the misinterpretation of the pressure test was made along with Transocean. "It was a mistake made by several men with two companies," Brock said.

The Tropical Taste of Absolut Mango
Winter's over. Here's what to make with the zesty, juicy flavor.
There are few things truly better than eating a ripe, juicy mango on a hot summer's day, but we think we've mixed a top-spot contender; a richly sweet cocktail that bursts with the flavor of sunshine. Trust us, you'll thank us later.
A worldwide hit, Absolut Mango is getting ready to celebrate its 10th birthday – a major milestone for one of our summer favorites. But, if you're unable to get yourself to a luau or sun-baked beach to celebrate the occasion, we've put aside the time to bring the mango to you so that your summer is as bright as everyone else's.
Absolut Mango is, quite obviously, a mango-infused vodka, and just like all other Absolut products, it's created by blending water and winter wheat from Åhus - our Swedish home - which is then distilled an infinite number of times. The zesty blend is made almost exclusively from natural ingredients and doesn't contain any added sugar.
Full bodied and juicy with a character of ripe mango and notes of tropical fruits, this is one tropical vodka that's ready for mixing, straight from the bottle. Sweet.
Smashed Mango Mint
2.5 Parts Absolut Vodka
2 Parts Mango Purée
½ Lime cut into small pieces
6-8 Mint Leaves
1 Part Simple Syrup
How to mix
In a Smash Cup; muddle lime and mint leaves together with simple syrup. Add all other ingredients, add crushed ice and churn. Garnish with a sprig of mint and three mango slices.
Mango Orange Caipirinoska
2 Parts Absolut Mango
Fresh lime (cut into small pieces)
Orange slices
1 Parts sugar syrup
How to mix
Muddle lime and orange pieces with sugar syrup. Add vodka and crushed ice and churn. Crown with more crushed ice.
Absolut Mango Sour
2 parts Absolut Mango
1.5 part fresh lemon juice
1 dash egg white
1 part simple syrup
How to mix
Pour all ingredients into a shaker filled with ice cubes and shake until cold. Strain into a chilled rocks glass and garnish with a lemon zest.
Absolut Mango is available in the following countries: Australia, Brazil, Canada, Ireland, Mexico, Russia, Sweden, USA

COMSTOCK PARK, MI - The West Michigan Whitecaps fell behind early Saturday afternoon against the Dayton Dragons and never recovered in an 8-3 loss.
It was the Whitecaps' first defeat under first-year manager Larry Parrish after back-to-back wins against the Dragons to open the 2013 season. West Michigan (2-1) scored 13 runs and registered 19 hits in their first two games, but was silenced by starter Andrew Cisco.
Cisco was dominant against the Whitecaps and struck out eight in six innings of work. He allowed only one run on three hits. West Michigan, which committed four errors, managed only seven hits and its lone run came in the fifth inning when third baseman Matt Perry slugged a solo home run.
Dayton (1-2) scored a pair of runs in the second inning and added another in the fifth to grab a 3-0 lead.
The Whitecaps trailed 3-1 going into the ninth after reliever Chad Smith kept it close with 2 2/3 shutout innings. However, the Dragons broke it open with five runs off relievers Angel Nesbitt and Julio Felix.
West Michigan added a pair of runs in the ninth. Mike Hernandez and Adolfo Reina had run-scoring hits.
Whitecaps' starter Hudson Randall took the loss. He went 4 1/3 innings and gave up three runs on five hits. He struck out one and didn't walk a batter.
Second baseman Devon Travis went 2-for-3 with a run scored for West Michigan.
The Whitecaps will continue their season-opening seven-game homestand Sunday at 1 p.m against the Dayton Dragons in the finale of the four-game series at Fifth Third Ballpark. LHP Jordan John is scheduled to take the mound for West Michigan, while the Dragons will counter with RHP Sal Romano. It will be Helen DeVos Children's Hospital Family Day with the first 1,000 kids 12 and under eat free. Group and individual tickets can be reserved by calling the Whitecaps front office at 616-784-4131 or visiting whitecapsbaseball.com.
