Excerpt: "Four years ago the Giants were an NFL power, one year removed from a Super Bowl championship and possibly one gunshot wound away from winning two in a row. They had won 16 of their last 21 games, including playoffs. And they had money to spend.
Thats when, in the first 40 hours of the 2009 free-agent signing period, they took an $83 million dive into the deep end and grabbed linebacker Michael Boley and defensive tackles Chris Canty and Rocky Bernard as fast as they could. They sensed their championship window was open. And three years later, all three players would contribute as the Giants again won it all.
That second title came less than 13 months ago, and now Canty and Boley are gone, along with two-time champion Ahmad Bradshaw. Bernard is a soon-to-be 34-year-old free agent and unlikely to be re-signed.
Thats the harsh reality of life in the NFL.
And that is the right way to build an NFL team.
Its out with the old and in with the new, and quickly. And if that sounds mean, thats just too bad. The reality is there is exactly one untouchable player on the Giants roster and he has two Super Bowl MVP trophies. Everyone else on the team is expendable, no matter how much sentiment is involved.
Think about it. Bradshaw may be, as GM Jerry Reese said pound for pound... one of the toughest football players that I've been around. He may have been a spark in their Super Bowl XLII run and a key cog in the engine on the drive to XLVI. But hes also an old 26 with the feet and ankles of a 50-year-old and simply cost too much this year.
Boley had been the brains of the defense since arriving in 2009, but hamstring injuries have robbed him of his burst. And as valuable as the 6-7, 317-pound Canty has been, his presence couldnt help the dying pass rush of the NFLs second-worst defense, and his cap hit was a robust $8.2 million." Read more...

Breaking: Judge blocks parts of AZ immigration law; Update: Pre-emption wins, for now
posted at 1:31 pm on July 28, 2010 by Ed Morrissey
Federal judge Susan Bolton has issued a temporary restraining order against the most controversial portions of the Arizona immigration-enforcement law, while keeping much of it in place. The requirement for police to check immigration status has been suspended, however, pending a full review by the court at a later date:
A federal judge on Wednesday blocked the most controversial parts of Arizona's immigration law from taking effect, delivering a last-minute victory to opponents of the crackdown.
The overall law will still take effect Thursday, but without the provisions that angered opponents — including sections that required officers to check a person's immigration status while enforcing other laws.
The judge also put on hold parts of the law that required immigrants to carry their papers at all times, and made it illegal for undocumented workers to solicit employment in public places.
U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton ruled that the controversial sections should be put on hold until the courts resolve the issues.
A temporary injunction gets put into place when a judge thinks that a court review has some likelihood of overturning a law in a full hearing. That doesn't amount to a decision on the merits, but it does indicate that Bolton thinks the Department of Justice can make a case for blocking the law.
What will be interesting will be to see whether this impacts public opinion. The Obama administration has taken a beating in the polls on this issue, with poll after poll showing majorities of Americans supporting the Arizona law. A temporary injunction on portions of the bill may get some people rethinking the issue, but I'd be surprised if there was any substantial movement. If a judge later rules against the law after a full hearing, it might change feelings about the law specifically, but probably not about enforcement.
I'd also expect the White House to claim this as vindication, but only because they have been utterly tone-deaf on this issue for the last three months. They should wait on the I-told-you-so for the full hearing.
Update: This point seems key. On page 14, Bolton says that the law as written would require law enforcement to check immigration status on everyone arrested or held, not just those with "reasonable suspicion" of being illegal immigrants. That would create a huge burden on both law enforcement and on legal immigrants, Bolton writes.
Also, on page 17, Bolton appears to buy the argument that a large influx of referrals from Arizona to the ICE would have the effect of pre-empting federal policies on national security and immigration:
For these reasons, the United States has demonstrated that it is likely to succeed on its claim that the mandatory immigration verification upon arrest requirement contained in Section 2(B) of S.B. 1070 is preempted by federal law. This requirement, as stated above, is likely to burden legally-present aliens, in contravention of the Supreme Court's directive in Hines that aliens not be subject to "the possibility of inquisitorial practices and police surveillance." 312 U.S. at 74. Further, the number of requests that will emanate from Arizona as a result of determining the status of every arrestee is likely to impermissibly burden federal resources and redirect federal agencies away from the priorities they have established.
And again on pages 20-21:
In combination with the impermissible burden this provision will place on lawfully-present aliens, the burden on federal resources and priorities also leads to an inference of preemption. Therefore, for the purposes of preliminary injunction analysis, the Court concludes that the United States has demonstrated a likelihood of success on its challenge to the first sentence of Section 2(B). Section 2(B) in its entirety is likely preempted by federal law.
Basically, Bolton seems to feel that the DoJ will win in court on these issues, or at least has a strong case.

"Economics of the Not-for-Profit Community" topic of SUNY BEST
BINGHAMTON, NY – The SUNY Business and Education Cooperative of the Southern Tier (SUNY BEST) will host a presentation titled "Economics of the Not-for-Profit Community" at 10 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 7, in room 220 at Binghamton University's Downtown Center, 67 Washington St., Binghamton. This presentation is free and open to the public.
According to the National Center for Charitable Statistics, nonprofits are a nearly $200 billion statewide industry and a $1.5 billion industry segment in the Southern Tier and Broome County. United Way Executive Director Alan Hertel will provide an overview of the economic impact of not-for-profit organizations from a national, state and local perspective. Discussion will also touch upon challenges facing the non-for-profit sector and its contributions to quality of life that may be taken for granted.
Guest speaker Alan Hertel is executive director for the United Way of Broome County, Inc. Prior to joining the United Way, he worked at NYSEG for 30+ years and has experience as a small business owner. Hertel is actively involved in community affairs and is past chair of the Greater Binghamton Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, and current director for Visions Federal Credit Union.
The nonprofit community provides 5.5 percent of the nation's entire gross domestic product (GDP) or $805 billion worth of output according to The Independent Sector. In addition, NYS Department of Labor statistics indicate "the not-for-profit segment accounts for approximately 10% of our workforce" and has been documented to provide a more efficient service delivery than many other segments, including government funded organizations.
Pre-registration for this discussion is required through the SUNY BEST website at http://ceo.binghamton.edu/sunybest. For additional information, e-mail email@example.com.
Directional signage to the meeting room will be visible when entering the Downtown Center from Washington St. Parking is available in the Collier Street Ramp, the Water Street Ramp, (both within two blocks of the Downtown Center) or, if available, at any of the metered parking spots in front of the building on Washington St.

The data on marital status and marital history were derived from answers to Questions 20 through 23. The marital status question is asked to determine the status of the person at the time of interview. Many government programs need accurate information on marital status, such as the number of married women in the labor force, elderly widowed individuals, or young single people who may establish homes of their own. The marital history data enables multiple agencies to more accurately measure the effects of federal and state policies and programs that focus on the well-being of families. Marital history data can provide estimates of marriage and divorce rates and duration, as well as flows into and out of marriage. This information is critical for more refined analyses of eligibility for program services and benefits, and of changes resulting from federal policies and programs. Before 2008, the marital status question was asked of all people. Beginning in 2008, the question on marital status was asked only for people 15 years old and over. People 15 and over were asked whether they were "now married," "widowed," "divorced," "separated," or "never married." People in common-law marriages were allowed to report the marital status they considered the most appropriate. When marital status was not reported, it was imputed according to the person's relationship to the householder, sex, and age. Differences in the number of married males and females occur because there is no step in the weighting process to equalize the weighted estimates of husbands and wives.
Never Married
Includes all people who have never been married, including people whose only marriage(s) was annulled.
Ever Married
Includes people ever married at the time of interview (including those "now married," "separated," "widowed," or "divorced").
Now Married, Except Separated
Includes people whose current marriage has not ended through widowhood, divorce, or separation (regardless of previous marital history). The category may also include couples who live together or people in common-law marriages if they consider this category the most appropriate. In certain tabulations, currently married people are further classified as "spouse present" or "spouse absent." For federal definitions, "now married" does not include same-sex married people even if the marriage was performed in a state issuing marriage certificates for same-sex couples.
Includes people legally separated or otherwise absent from their spouse because of marital discord. Those without a final divorce decree are classified as "separated." This category also includes people who have been deserted or who have parted because they no longer want to live together but who have not obtained a divorce.
Includes widows and widowers who have not remarried.
Includes people who are legally divorced and who have not remarried. Those without a final divorce decree are classified as "separated." In selected tabulations, data for married and separated people are reorganized and combined with information on the presence of the spouse in the same household.
Now Married
All people whose current marriage has not ended by widowhood or divorce. This category includes people defined above as "separated."
Differences between the number of married males and the number of married females occur because: some husbands and wives have their usual residence in different areas; and husbands and wives do not have the same weights. By definition, the numbers would be the same.
- Spouse Present - Married people whose wife or husband was reported as a member of the same household, including those whose spouses may have been temporarily absent for such reasons as travel or hospitalization.
- Spouse Absent - Married people whose wife or husband was not reported as a member of the same household or people reporting they were married and living in a group quarters facility.
- Separated - Defined above.
- Spouse Absent, Other - Married people whose wife or husband was not reported as a member of the same household, excluding separated. Included is any person whose spouse was employed and living away from home or in an institution or serving away from home in the Armed Forces.
Differences between the number of married males and the number of married females occur because: some husbands and wives have their usual residence in different areas; and husbands and wives do not have the same weights. By definition, the numbers would be the same.
Median Age at First Marriage
The median age at first marriage is calculated indirectly by estimating the proportion of young people who will marry during their lifetime, calculating one-half of this proportion, and determining the age (at the time of the survey) of people at this half-way mark by osculatory interpolation. It does not represent the actual median age of the population who married during the calendar year. It is shown to the nearest tenth of a year. Henry S. Shryock and Jacob S. Siegel outline the osculatory procedure in Methods and Materials of Demography, First Edition (May 1973), Volume 1.
Marital History
Beginning in 2008, people 15 years and over who were ever married ("married," "widowed," "separated," or "divorced") were asked if they had been married, widowed, or divorced in the past 12 months. They were asked how many times (once, two times, three or more times) they have been married, and the year of their last marriage.
Question/Concept History
The word "current" was dropped from the 1996-1998 question. Since 1999, the question states, "What is this person's marital status?" The American Community Survey began providing the median age at first marriage with the 2004 data. Data on marital history were first collected in 2008 at the request of the Department of Health and Human Services to provide more detailed annual information on the marital status of the population. Before 2008, the marital status question was asked of all people and only tabulated for those 15 and over. In 2008, marital status was moved from the basic demographic section, at the beginning of the ACS questionnaire, to the detailed person section - a part of the questionnaire where questions were asked of only people 15 and over. The marital history questions follow the marital status question on the questionnaire.
Limitation of the Data
Beginning in 2006, the population in group quarters (GQ) is included in the ACS. Some types of GQ populations have marital status distributions that are very different from the household population. The inclusion of the GQ population could therefore have a noticeable impact on the marital status distribution. This is particularly true for areas with a substantial GQ population.
The data on marital status can be compared to previous ACS years and to similar data collected on CPS and SIPP. Marital status is no longer asked on the Decennial Census. The marital history data, and particularly marriage and divorce rates derived from the questions asking if the person got married or divorced in the past 12 months is comparable to vital statistics collected by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).

|ACS 2009-1yr Summary File: Technical Documentation -> Appendix A. Supplemental Documentation -> 2009 Subject Definitions -> Population Variables -> Race -> American Indian or Alaska Native
A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America) and who maintain tribal affiliation or community attachment. It includes people who classified themselves as described below.
American Indian Tribe or Alaska Native
Respondents who identified themselves as "American Indian or Alaska Native" were asked to report their enrolled or principal tribe. Therefore, tribal data in tabulations reflect the written entries reported on the questionnaires. Some of the entries (for example, Metlakatla Indian Community and Umatilla) represent reservations or a confederation of tribes on a reservation. The information on tribe is based on self-identification and therefore does not reflect any designation of federally- or state-recognized tribe. The information for the American Community Survey was derived from the American Indian and Alaska Native Tribal Classification List for the 1990 census that was updated for Census 2000 and the ACS based on the annual Federal Register notice entitled "Indian Entities Recognized and Eligible to Receive Services From the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs," Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, issued by the Office of Management and Budget.

Unpaid Internships: Win-Win for Everyone
Wayne and Margie Fox have generously funded an award for business students who demonstrate excellence in an unpaid internship. Many UIS students invest significant time in these internships, called Applied Study Terms. The Fox Award acknowledges the excellent work of selected business students.
According to Wayne Fox, an unpaid internship is a "win-win situation for all involved."
Students provide valuable service to community agencies and nonprofits, he says, and the internship "provides the intern with the opportunity to be actively involved in community affairs as a volunteer—a lifelong habit to be carefully cultivated and nurtured."
This year the Fox Award has been presented to Jill Harbison and Sinem Aydin.
Sinem Aydin, Old State Capitol Historic Site
Sinem Aydin worked for the Old State Capitol State Historic site reconstructing its Facebook page and website, implementing ways to make the site appealing to all cultures. She assisted in organizing and reviewing the annual report, created a survey for local businesses to analyze results of tourist activity, recruited volunteers, and assisted with summer event planning.
As a result of her internship at OSC she has been offered a job at Pasfield House Inn (a Bed & Breakfast) to increase business through their website. Sinem anticipates completing her degree in December 2012.
Jill Harbison, Girl Scouts of Central Illinois
Jill Harbison helped with events and developed and maintained outreach with churches and schools, cultural groups, and service and professional organizations. All this enhanced visibility, fund raising, membership and program options for GSCI. She also record keeping and reporting and served girls directly through tutoring and scouting projects, as well as making presentations to build troop membership.
Jill completed her business administration degree in May and is now a graduate student in the Public Administration program as well as a Graduate Public Service Intern with the Illinois Department of Healthcare & Family Services.

text: I recently bought tires for my 05 Z71 and while it was in I had it aligned. A few weeks later, I noticed this sound that kept getting more persistant. I checked under the truck and did not see anything suspisous but that did not satisify me so I took it back in and we found that the nut was working itself off the upper A-Arm on the passenger side. The guy at the shop was nice enough to realign the truck for free and made sure that the nut was tightened down. Today, after driving it for about 100 miles, I noticed when I make a sharp turn, the sound is back, so I checked the nut again. It was backing itself off, not much but enough that I could tighten it back with my hand. Does anyone have any idea what would cause this? I know it was tightened up the second time because I watched the guy tighten it.

Today was the first day of a 3 day tour to Takayama, Shirakawago, and Kanazawa
I never heard of these three cities before, but it turns out they were very fascinating and presented a different aspect of Japanese culture.
Our tour guide met us at the hotel at 10:30 AM and arranged for our luggage to be sent on to Tokyo, as we were allowed only to take a carry on bag for this trip.
We boarded a shinkansen train to Nagoya, and from there would take a regular (slow) train to Takayama-the Hida express train. Our tour guide was a 70 plus year old gentleman from Nagoya who has been doing this for 50 years, and was actually retired. His name was Miko but he asked us to call him Mike. He was really a wonderful guide and extremely knowledgeable
Takayama is in the northern Japanese Alps. It was at one time very isolated from the rest of Japan because of its geography. Japan is about 57% forest, but Hida-Takayama is 72% forest. Hida-Takayama (a sister city with Denver CO) is Japan's largest city in square miles. Its population is 97,000. Takayama is its new name taken from Takayama castle which was built in 1519 and donated to the city for a museum in 2004. Originally the town was built as an imitation of Kyoto so it was called Little Kyoto at one time. The new city was a merge of nine neighboring towns and villages and in 2005 became Takayama City. The architecture here is much different than the previous cities we had visited. Everything is more quaint. Much of the city is built from wood.
About 1,350 years ago, the Shoguns decided that the villagers would have to pay taxes
Because Hida was in the mountains and there was no rice, grains, or textiles they could use to pay this tax, it was decided instead, that the villagers would send their young boys and men to the capital to work for 250 to 300 days of the year. They worked as carpenters and builders, building palaces, gates, and temples in the capital. Great numbers of Hida's artisans landed up building the greatest and most famous temples in the capital. The artisans returned to Hida and used these skills to build Hida's ancient temples. The technique of Hida's artisans lives on even now in this area in traditional arts and crafts. The town still preserves the feeling of a castle town. It has one of the most beautiful festivals in Japan with incredible ornate floats (see my pictures) .Takayama is also famous for its gold and silver mines. The traditional crafts of Takayama are building of wooden furniture, wood carving carving of netsuke made from yew wood, lacquerware, and pottery.
We walked to the Yatai Kaikan Hall Festival Floats Exhibition Hall
which is where four of the eleven festival floats are stored. They were absolutely beautiful. One of them was completely gilded in gold leaf. It will take too long to describe all the floats so look at the pictures. They rotate the floats 3 times a year (March, July, and November) putting 4 on display each time
The ornate gold float needed to be carried by 60 men all the same height. It isn't used any more because of the difficulty of finding so many people the same height. (there was a model of the float being supported by the 60 men in the museum). The other floats had 3 wheels-sometimes a 4th wheel that lifted up for turns. If it is raining on the festival day, a very small substitute float is used instead. The costumes used for the parade are very special and are very expensive to make. Look at my pictures. The festivals are Sannō Matsuri April 14-15 and Yahata Matsuri October 9-10. After seeing the floats in the Keikan Exhibition hall, we saw a movie which showed us the preparations for the parade and past parades.
We continued on to see a Banker's home (Kusakabe Folkcraft Museum) that had been donated to the city in 1879. Since the winters are very long and there is lots of snow, the houses had roofs in the shape of praying hands-extremely steep slope, so the snow can slide down the roof. There were no chimneys. The entire house was built from Japanese Cypress.They had fireplaces in the middle of the rooms over which they cooked. The ceilings became very black from the smoke over time. The rooms in Japan are measured by tatami mats (6x 3 feet) which are rush mats woven from reeds
We saw hand warmer boxes in each room. There was a custom until 200 years ago that the nobility would dye their teeth black. They would boil iron with vinegar, sake, or alcohol, then paint their teeth. We saw a bankers' counting table, paraphernalia for dying teeth, gold, silver, and copper coins, and combs and hair ornaments used by the women. In the west, most of the houses had thatched roofs made from yew bark. They used to make clothing out of hemp, flexible bark, and vines. The mulberry tree was also used for clothing, but silk was only allowed for the Samurai class.
Afterwords we went to see Sakurayama-Nikko Kan a 1/10th scaled model of the shrines and castle. There were miniature buildings and shrines, and even a miniature parade with some of the floats--especially the golden float being carried by 60 men.
In the evening we wondered around the old town and finally found a family owned restaurant, where I decided to try the famous Hida Beef. Yehuda ordered something with salmon. The meal consisted of miso soup, rice, pickled vegetables and a main course. They brought the beef to the table in a small ceramic canister with a lit sterno underneath. The raw beef and sauce was sitting on a very large leaf above it. When it looked cooked enough, I removes it from the leaf. The beef was very soft and melted in my mouth, but too fatty. While we were eating, the television was showing the burning of the Obon fires on the mountains around Kyoto. We returned to our hotel, and Yehuda again tried the hot springs.

The dislike function is definitely not representative of the community opinion. It clearly is being hijacked for political purposes by trolls like Cloud. For example, the following three posts were disliked:
Two of them are just YouTube clips and one is merely stating that Nelson Mandela shouldn't have been put on a terrorist list. What kind of person would dislike those? Clearly, the dislike function is being used primarily for personal and political disputes. Perhaps that is a fundamental flaw with the Dislike function all together.
However, I think we can tweak the Dislike function to make it more honest. If one person, Bob, is disliking everything another person, Joe, says, then clearly Bob dislikes Joe. OK, count that, but count it once not a hundred times.
More specifically, don't report the count of dislikes on a person like below
select count(Disliked.VoterUserId)
from Thread.Disliked
join Thread.Post on Post.Id = Disliked.PostId
where Post.PosterUserId = @PosterUserId;
Instead, count the weighted dislike of that person's postings like so
select log(2, count(Disliked.VoterUserId))
from Thread.Disliked
join Thread.Post on Post.Id = Disliked.PostId
where Post.PosterUserId = @PosterUserId
group by Disliked.VoterUserId;
The idea is that with the second query, you are giving everyone a more equal vote instead of favoring vocal minorities.

Well after the super cold winter up here in the upper peninsula of michigan, concerned about the TBH. I'm happy to say THEY MADE IT. 52 degrees today and they are coming out, orienting and flying. Here's a picture. image.jpg
It is a great feeling congrats on your success.
How did you set them up for winter? I am interested as winter is cold and long here and I have just ordered my first top bar hive.
Janne....first hives April 2013, 19 hives, treat, plant zone 8b, at sea level, latitude 49.13, longitude 123.06
I had better wintering success years ago using top bar hives with no insulation at all, than I do with my current Lang hives. Verify their food reserves as soon as you can, they can starve this time of year quick when brood rearing is underway and no nectar and pollen coming in yet.
Three inch walls! Holy cow that must weigh a ton. Is that 3 inches of wood, or is that a combination of wood and insulation?
I would recommend that if you make another one you make it out of wood with styrofoam, assuming you main goal is insulation. Wood has a crappy R value. 1/2 inch blue foam is cheap, light, easy to cut and a higher R value than the 3 inches of wood. I hear ya that you don't plan to move it, but sometimes life happens and you need to move them.
On the plus side, I think 2x12s are about the same price as 1x12s, so at least it didn't cost a ton to make.
I ordered roofers garbage bag from backyardhive.com There DVD really helped me get going with my TBH
As far as mixing thinner wood with insulation - thought I would try to imitate them having hive in tree, thick walls only instead of upright this log is horizontal. Something worked with my 2x12 hive they did survive. We will see what happens with my 3 inch hive next winter.
It was only 41 today so no bees were flying so I checked them through window. Previously they were clustered about two frames away from brood comb. Today they are clustered back on brood combs. Good sign, queen must be starting to replenish the girls. Once again - THEY MADE IT - through the coldest winter we've had in a long time. Monty

I'm a great believer in life-long learning especially where genealogy is concerned. When I am teaching I recommend that my students read a family history beginners book every year as there is always something new to learn or be reminded of. Ancestry has released a video in which Crista Cowan shares how you can access books, seminars,conferences and websites to help you increase your genealogy knowledge.
Wiltshire Cemeteries back online
Records for seven Wiltshire cemeteries are back online at DeceasedOnline. The records were online briefly in 2011, but were withdrawn as they weren't to DeceasedOnline's high standards. About 45,000 burials are recorded in these records with a start date of 1856. The cemeteries are …..

Latest Ancestry Video
This latest video from Ancestry has the well known genealogist, Crista Cowan taking viewers "Beyond The Shaky Leaf". Many genealogists will be familiar with the little green leaves that shake at you from the online Ancestry family trees, but what do they mean and how can they add to your research? Crista answers these questions and offers advice on making the most of the hints that the green leaves represent.
Canada 1921 Census
Ancestry has added the1921 census for Canada to it's Canadian and Worldwide Collection. Many people emigrated from the British Isles to Canada in search of a better life and more opportunities to further themselves. Some came back, but many stayed so it is always a good idea to run family names through the Canadian Collection to see if anyone familiar shows up. In fact the population of Canada rose by 1,581,840 between the 1911 and the 1921 census so all those people belong on someone's family tree !
Fully indexed the census is easy to search, simply put in family names and press "search". The information collected by the Canadian authorities was much more extensive than the English census so many details of the person can be discovered.
Well worth running family names through, enjoy this more recent census.

Plans to develop 100-acre field into retail spaces
WASHINGTON COUNTY, Tenn. - More stores could soon be coming to Washington County, Tennessee. That's because the Economic Development Council is taking the first steps in the right direction.
About 100-acres will soon be a new home for retailers off Interstate 26 at Exit 17 in Washington County, Tennessee.
Right now work is being done on tax and financing development. Mitch Miller with the Washington County Economic Development Council says they hope this space draws interest in everything from small shops, to restaurants, to hotels.
"Nothing on the plate as of yet that we can announce or say that it is a definite happening. But there's a good way of having retailers to have interest in our region and we want to make sure we've got a site out there for them," he added.
We've learned the council's next step is to meet with city and county commissioners.

Ski clinic a blast despite weather
I would like to thank all that came out to the Robert Johnson Ski clinic this past weekend. Although the weather was less than ideal, we still had a great time. I would like to thank Beemun's Bike Loft for being out there providing free ski rentals and Kaladi Coffee Company for providing the best coffee to the event. I would like to thank Toni Oliver and Todd Stone for providing warmth via a Burn barrel and Firewood. Thanks again to all that contributed to the "No Child Left Inside" program run by the Tsalteshi Trails Association. Contributions can still be made by contacting the Tsalteshi organization at Tsalteshi.org.

I'm going foundationless, and they're drawing out the two empty frames really well, and building the comb right down the center of my triangular comb guides. But I didn't see any eggs or open brood. Should I be worried?

Members of the University of Colorado community can receive a 30 percent discount on the registration fees for next week's Accessing Higher Ground - the 16th annual Accessible Media, Web and Technology Conference, which will be held Nov. 4-8, 2013 at the Westin Hotel in Westminster, Colorado.
"The conference offers a unique opportunity to learn from speakers across the country – and some outside the country, including the keynote speaker – who are leaders in the field of Universal Design and accessibility. The concepts discussed at the conference are not simply about making information, websites and curricula more accessible, it's about making them more usable, which should be a key goal of any course, product or system," said Howard Kramer, a proponent of the integration of Universal Design into curricula and a lecturer in Continuing Education at CU-Boulder.
This year's conference theme is Universal Design in curriculum and the role of Universal Design in other areas of higher education. A full-day pre-conference workshop on Integrating UD into University Curriculum will be offered on Tuesday, Nov. 5, and will be presented by four educators who have been forerunners in teaching Universal Design at their institutions.
This year's keynote, Dr. David Sloan, will discuss Teaching Universal Design - the Dundee Approach: A Discussion and Reflection of the University of Dundee Approach to Teaching Students Universal Design. The talk will take place at 1 p.m. on Nov. 6 and will cover how the University of Dundee came to give such focus to the topic of Universal Design, the key people and factors driving this initiative, their approach to implementation and the subjects covered. Dundee's comprehensive approach included elements such as web standards and inclusive user experiences.
"A key take-away will be specific resources and methods for not only making curricula, courses and electronic resources more accessible and usable, but guidance on how to include content about Universal Design into courses and curricula," said Kramer.
The Universal Design track at Accessing Higher Ground is a project of Promoting the Integration of Universal Design in University Curriculum (UDUC), funded in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, to promote the integration of Universal Design content in university curriculum.
CU affiliates can register for the conference at a 30 percent discount. A limited number of scholarships are available for faculty, staff and students for the Nov. 5 pre-conference session on Integrating Universal Design into University Curriculum. The deadline to register is Friday, Nov. 1 at 3:00 p.m.
Additional sessions on Universal Design include:
- Teaching Accessibility & Universal Design Concepts Through the Use of Public Policy Projects, Jonathan Lazar, Towson University
- Research Based Impacts of Universal Design Strategies in Postsecondary Educational Instruction, Kelly Roberts & Robert Stodden, Center on Disability Studies, University of Hawaii
- How (Not) to Teach Web Design and Development, Terrill Thompson, University of Washington
- Developing the Inclusive Design Graduate Research Group: Reflections on a UD-Focused Architecture Program at a Public University, Korydon Smith, University at Buffalo
- Using Universal Instructional Design? A Study of Faculty Processes and Universal Instructional Design Strategies Across Multiple Modalities, Julie Frese, University of the Rockies
- Technology, Transitions, and Practicing what you Preach: A Case Study on How an Orientation Program Models Universal Design for Learning, Van Credle
To view the entire Universal Design track, visit: http://accessinghigherground.org/UDTrack2013.html
The conference's other areas of focus include the benefits of web standards and Universal Design for digital media along with strategies for making campus information resources accessible for students with disabilities and effective for all audiences.

Devin Taylor, because he's 6'8" & has good endurance. Can cover some TE's as well as play the run.
I believe at least 1 team from the SEC, likely Bama will be in the game even if they have 1 loss. As you mention, Oregon also has a decent chance of running the tables. However, FSU has a serious problem. While they can go undefeated they will likely end up lower in the rankings than 1 or 2 SEC teams that may only have 1 loss. This is due to their schedule being weak this year, however, it gets complicated:
What is interesting is that the reason it will be too weak will be because WVA dumped FSU off their schedule last spring when they signed with the big 10 for the future. This forced FSU to scramble for an opponents when everyone's schedule was already full leaving them with Savanna State as the only option. Last Spring, mumbles from FSU were already voicing concerns about this exact scenario. I would not be surprised if FSU went undefeated, gets left out of the Big game, then takes legal action vs WVA for the lost revenue of being dropped from the schedule at the last second. It is a situation that the NCAA fears, but 1 that is very possible.
Speaking of pass rushers Okafor really impressed me this week. Looks like a very good Strongside end prospect. With Tuck declining he might not be a bad get. Ive fallen in love with Ezekiel Ansah. Im wondering though how old he is. BYU prospects are generally around 25 when they graduate. I couldnt find his age anywhere

Cement truck flips on Hwy. 26; driver injured
Driver in fair condition; road blocked for hours
PRINEVILLE, Ore. - A Prineville man was hospitalized Tuesday after his cement mixer truck left Highway 26 northwest of Prineville, hit an embankment and overturned, Oregon State Police reported. The truck blocked the highway and some cement spilled on the road, which was closed for about four hours.
Around 9 a.m., the Prineville Sand and Gravel truck driven by Dwain Storm, 61, was heading west on the highway near milepost 18 when it left the north side of the highway, troopers said.
It hit a dirt embankment and rolled onto its side until it came to rest blocking the highway linking Prineville and Madras, also spilling cement on the road, they said.
Storm was taken by Crook County Fire & Rescue ambulance to Pioneer Memorial Hospital, then flown to St. Charles-Bend with what troopers said appeared to be serious injuries. However, a hospital spokeswoman said Storm was in fair condition Tuesday afternoon.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation, OSP reported. ODOT crews also assisted at the crash scene.

Redwire a Gem Among 5-Diamond Centrals
As a recently launched monitoring provider, Redwire is making a name for itself in a hurry after not only achieving CSAA Five Diamond certification but also capturing the inaugural Marketing Marvel Award. Find out how this business' management is positioning the central station to ride the fast track to success.
By Scott Goldfine · October 31, 2012
Five Diamonds, Limitless Potential
Becoming Five Diamond certified is an excellent way to verify and validate that a central station is adhering to accepted and established principles of being a responsible, professional and successful monitoring business. That alone is a compelling argument to pursue accreditation, but then there are also the perks of enriching employees, elevating morale and acquiring more respect among peers.
Yet, potentially the greatest benefit of all to be had comes by giving the accomplishment as much exposure as possible to parlay it into much higher visibility, legitimacy and trust among the buying public. This is one of the areas in which Redwire has excelled and why a Marketing Marvel Award now adorns its trophy case.
The company celebrated achieving certification by announcing it to the Chamber of Commerce, newspapers, and employees, clients and prospects via E-mail, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and a blogged press release. All marketing collateral, including sales flyers, sales presentations, Web site, business cards and E-mail tags, have been emblazoned with the CSAA Five Diamond logo. A dedicated Five Diamond sales collateral piece has been developed, and the certification is also used in recruiting and insurance carrier purposes. The certificate is framed and posted in three spots within Redwire's offices and also featured in its tradeshow display.
"Our commitment to using the Five Diamond certification in all areas of our marketing plan provides a comprehensive message that ties the designation into our brand to develop loyalty and support our company mission," says O'Kelley. "We believe the certification is a company-wide accomplishment that permeates to all contacts with clients and employees."
Rewire's social media promotions ensure marketing of the Five Diamond certification remains constant and ongoing. In addition, the logo is included in all major and quick-hit E-mail campaigns with inclusion of an explanation of what it means to be a Five Diamond central station. As part of its commitment to giving back to the communities in which it operates, Redwire also incorporates the Five Diamond logo into those endeavors.
"When customers and prospects ask about the Five Diamond logo and what it means, we are provided an invaluable opportunity to explain the certification and reiterate the significant commitment we are dedicated to making to our clients," says Githens. "Loyalty is a game-changer when it comes to customer retention. What better way to create a loyal customer than one who knows we are committed to UL, to the highest level of customer service, to job-related training and testing, to raising industry standards, and to reducing false alarms?"
Marketing Keys: Tactics & Tracking
Elevating to the ranks of CSAA Five Diamond and going above and beyond to gain Marketing Marvel recognition does not occur unless said company is already smart, savvy, driven, well managed, motivated, and shrewd and creative where sales and marketing is concerned. Red-wire favors a customer-centric approach to generate new campaigns. These initiatives are based on customer needs and presented to them in way they find appealing, enticing and valuable.
"We look at two things, what is important to our customers and what differentiates us from the competition? If it meets those criteria and is compliant with our company's shared values, we move forward ensuring that the message is deployed in a consistent and integrated manner," says O'Kelley.
ViVID, Redwire's video verification product, serves as an example of this process. After market analysis indicated customers were interested in an affordable, verified and integrated solution, the firm developed packages to address that need and demonstrate how Redwire is better and different. The plan included a quick presentation done on an iPad; two brochures, one introducing the product and another inviting the client to compare Redwire to the competition; a variety of traditional and online advertising; assorted promotions; community involvement and tradeshows; and E-mail and social media outreach.
"When we launch an initiative, the focus is on targeted marketing programs to drive awareness and interest in Redwire's products and/or services," says O'Kelley. "Because of the long sales cycle typical with our industry, the marriage of marketing programs with a structured sales process is necessary."
Another facet of Redwire's approach is multipronged, integrated marketing campaigns designed to build brand awareness and cultivate a connection within its service regions. For instance, in the Sarasota area the firm launched what it calls a "Get Local" campaign that involves advertising and promotions coupled with community involvement.
"This comprehensive approach means our brand and our brand promise is promoted on local television, online and in the local paper while at the same time putting a face to the company through community involvement," says O'Kelley. "The idea is not only do you see us in the media, you also get to meet the folks who live and work in that community."
It's no coincidence that many of today's best-run companies track and gauge the effectiveness, return on investment (ROI) and success of marketing efforts through the use of customer retention management (CRM) software. In Red-wire's case, if a call comes in, an E-mail blast is opened, a lead is received via the Web or from materials left behind, it is all entered into the CRM as part of a standardized sales procedure. This makes it easy and straightforward to evaluate what is and is not working.
"With the CRM tool we can run reports that align a material or initiative with sales and measure the success of that campaign," says O'Kelley. "In addition, we use promotional codes, click tags, and Web and E-mail analytics to track sales and awareness. The final ROI is measured as a function of total marketing cost as a percentage of new client sales and existing customer retention."

Cherry picking 2006-2007 as record breaking years for LSU doesn't make Miles stand out from the rest of the SEC
you're right.....his record does
-Alabama has broken several offensive records under Saban
-Florida has broken several offensive records under Meyer
-Arkansas has broken offensive records under Petrino
-Miss State has had the most points scored over a span of the last three years than any span in its history
-Ole Miss had the most points scored over a span of 2008-2010 than any span in its history under Houston Nutt
-Texas A&M's offense this season and the broken records speak for themselves
-Georgia's offense has scored more since 2005 than any span in its history
-Auburn's offense with Cam Newton...broke several records
Try again.
Les gives stud a list of plays for that game's script on Tuesday and Wednesday..and Stud calls from that list.
My Point is that even with those offense's improving they hardly do shite with them, except Bama!!
Two NCs for FLA, an NC for Auburn
name 5 schools that have a better record than LSU since 2005
Both those guys beat everyone by themselves..
Since they left neither school has done much!!
If LSU or any team in the SEC has those guys they win NC
an SEC championship...
You do realize that's a "biased" sample right? Where was Saban in 2005? A&M? How long did Meyer stay at Florida? Spurrier coming back to the SEC and coaching a lesser team.
I could flip that logic and simply ask: What would Miles' record be if he were coaching at USCe since 2005?
What was Spurriers record in the 90's? Saban's since 2008?
You've basically proven two things in this thread by forcing others to bring in logic and rationality into this conversation: Miles really isn't above the pack record wise when all factors are considered, and basically every offense in the SEC is breaking records and that lack of offense since 2008 has cost us multiple NCs.
Everyone is frustrated after this game, but one play 4th and 16 should not happen against this defense or any defense
Yep. Everyone wants to harp on the offensive play calling on our last possession and yet fail to realize that we had them stopped on 4th and 16 an they pick it up.
Also I'm not one to bitch about refs, but even my Bama friends were saying the calls were bs.
AND the reason they on the field so much is because the offense blew and couldnt gain more than 1 yard in the fourth quarter.
i asked a simple question....name 5 teams with a better record than LSU since 2005. Not only did you not do it....you went out of your way to try to discredit his accomplishment
s. why would a so-called LSU fan do that??
Clemson had 36 first downs. that should not happen against LSUs defense
How many of those teams have had the same coach since 2005 who came in with a ready made program from the start?
When I bring in a true perspective on Les Miles with you Choctaw, I feel like a parent finally telling his kid Santa Clause isn't real.
don't care...
You are intentionally asking a loaded and misleading question and that's why I ignore the question.
Both those guys beat everyone by themselves..
I get it now. When OTHER teams do it, it's the PLAYERS. When LSU does it...it's Miles. Convenient.
Since they left neither school has done much!!
What have we done since 2007 offensively? Who did we lose again? SABAN's recruits. OH SNAP!
If LSU or any team in the SEC has those guys they win NC
Blame our recruiters then...

Play-By-Playmate: A Playmate's Podium
Jaime recaps the Olympics with her inaugural Playmate Podium. See which athletes and events earned a spot on the most prestigious of podiums.
Some people have been asking me about an Olympic blog and I've been telling them "no sweat." The Olympics just started; I've got lots of time to get to an Olympic blog. And then BOOM. Olympics over. Kaput. Closing Ceremonies. Done.
It's amazing. It feels like they just started and already we're counting up the medals. It seemed so short for us sitting at home, but imagine how it was for the athletes. They train for four years, and in some cases in 10 seconds it's over. Literally. All but one man ran the 100 meter in less than 10 seconds. Four years all tied up in 10 seconds. It's incredible.
But now that it is over I'd like to congratulate all the athletes — not just the winners — who have captivated us over the last two weeks and give a big shout-out to Team USA, bringing home not only the most medals but the most gold medals. And I'd like to thank David Beckham for being an absolute hunk. Total babe.
But special congratulations go out to the following four athletes; for me they really went above and beyond at these Olympics for various reasons. So, without further ado, my Playmate Podium:
Bronze: Usain Bolt
At 6'5", Bolt is not supposed to be able to run as fast as he does. Running is for short people. Or at least it was until he showed up and started doing things differently. He won gold in the 100 meter, the 200 meter and the 4x100 relay, becoming the only Olympian to accomplish such a feat in back-to-back Olympics. He is literally the fastest man in the history of fast men. In his own words he is "a living legend" and we should all "bask in his glory." Fair enough. He walked the walk (ran the run?), he can talk the talk.
Silver: Gabby Douglas
The flying squirrel! Gabby Douglas earned my second spot on the podium for her amazing effort in the all-around, becoming the first African-American female to win the event. She's gonna be on a Wheaties box, for goodness' sake! Do you know who's on Wheaties boxes? The best athletes in the world, that's who. She's definitely in good company and inspired a generation of young girls to get into gymnastics.
Gold: Michael Phelps
Who else? Phelps says he's done. He's hanging up the trunks. He's tired of the six A.M. wake-up calls to jump in a cold pool, and who can blame him? I would be done too if that's what it required. But Phelps finishes as the most medalled athlete in Olympic history after earning six more in London, bringing his grand total to 22, including 18 golds.
Honorable Mention: Oscar Pistorius
Honestly, this might be the best story to come out of the Games. Pistorius is a South African sprinter and double below-the-knee amputee who not only qualified for the 400 m but made it to the semifinals. His best time actually would have qualified him for the finals, but unfortunately, no such luck. Still, this is absolutely inspiring, another barrier broken in London and a story you can't help but love.
So that's my podium; hopefully we'll be able to do this again in another four years.
Jaime's Fantasy Football League
What's that? A fantasy football league? That's right. If you didn't catch Play-by-Playmate last week, check it out for the contest rules to find out how you can take me on (and lose!) in my fantasy football league this year.

There is certainly no problem with my LCR .357 after a large number of Magnum and near magnum loads plus even more in the .38 +P range.
I could be wrong but if memory serves there was a stainless steel shield shield to prevent the flamefront from touching plastic in the .38 version I fired last year. The video wasn't clear enough to properly evaluate IMHO.

(verb) A shortening of the common phrase "skedattle," it is dual-syllabic word that is more apt to be used in everyday life, due to common slang's fondness of phrases that are less than three syllables. It is commonly used to describe hurridly departing; last-minute recognizing that you have to leave.
HOLY CRAP! Look at the time! I've gotta skedat--sorry!

Is there a procedure for shipping day old eggs.
Is there a procedure for shipping day old eggs.
I'm assuming that if you can maintain the temperature and humidity it would be fine. I'm not sure anyone really has studied this.
Why would you want to ship eggs? It's pretty easy to ship queens (both mated and virgin for II or mating in your own yards) as well as semen.
Not sure what you need to do. I leave them in the frames and wrap a wet towel around em. throw em in a box in the passenger seat of the truck. How far are you shipping? How much time? Are they in a frame? Will they be used to raise queens?
>I'm not sure anyone really has studied this.
"If we attempt to catch the moment when the worm leaves the egg, we must extend our, observations beyond the interior of the hive, for there the continual motion of the bees obscures what passes at the bottom of cells. The egg must be taken out, presented to the microscope, and every change attentively watched. One other precaution is essential. As a certain degree of heat is requisite to hatch the worms, should the eggs be too soon deprived of it they wither and perish."
"If, at the moment the queen lays, her eggs are put into a grated box, and deposited in a strange hive, where there is the necessary degree of heat, the worms come out at the usual time, just as if they had been left in the cells. Thus no extraordinary aid or attention is required for their exclusion."
4 September 1791 François Huber
From New Observations, on the Natural History of Bees
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
With the customs regulations in the US as they are, shipping eggs are allowed and done. I was just hoping that I could get some local knowledge before I asked my friend in Austria about his Carnica stock and getting some eggs to cross with my NWC stock.
>>>As soon as the big bee, called the king, laid an egg on the bottom of the cell he walks with his escort to the next cell and lays an egg again.
He lays eight or ten eggs in cells and than he withdraw with the escort deep back in the hive.
The eggs lying 4 days on the bottom of their cells without chancing the figure or the position than suddenly there is a metamorphosis into caterpillars.
The caterpillars are bend on the bottom and from now on there is more and more liquid around them.
We are not sure whether it is food for the young animal or it is sperm from their fertilization because it looks not so clear like honey.
The caterpillars are growing into worms and bees feed them with honey till the whole cell is filled.
Observation of bees and beekeeping
First addition 1568 from Nickel Jakob, born around 1505 die march 1576 at Sprottau / Schlesien, Germany.
PS: during this time they did not know that bees have a queen they talked about a king
Dang, Axtmann, fella you really gotta update your library. And tell me you're not using the frames that were lying next to the book.
Axtmann, do you own that book? Where did you see it, that book would bee sweet in my collection.
As for shipping eggs, as long as the enviroment is held at an optimal, and the delivery was quick, i could see no reason for this not to be done, once the eggs arrived to the queen breeder, he could place the frame in a well fed hive with sugar syrup and pollen patty so that when the larvae hatched he could graft, actually, i think it's a splendid idea, it's got me thinking now.
Will Gruenwald Chilliwack BC
Yes, Axtman, and Huber was the one who disproved virtually every one of those fallacies including how the drones mated with the queen and that the substance in the bottom was food and NOT semen and that the queen only mates on one occasion and only outside the hive and the fact that the drones lose their member in the process and that she remains fertile without requiring the presence of drones the rest of her life.
He did not just speculate that the eggs would hatch, if kept the right temperature and humidity without intervention by the workers, but proved it.
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
Yes Michael it takes a long time to find that out, more than 250 years of observation. In the six editions written from lecturer Caspar Höflers and printed 1753 from ÂVerlag Friedrich Lanckischen Erben, LeibzigÂ, there is still the same.
Even the bee scientist Maraldi (Paris 1753) thought Nickel Jakob was right.
I don't know exactly how fragile eggs are and how temperature changes would affect them. That may be the most difficult aspect.
If you are after crossing them with your stock, why not ship semen, It has no real significant storage requirements (room temperature is best), and keeps for weeks. Of course you would have to have the right equipment to collect and use it, which isn't exactly cheep.

Inspection Conditions: Each apiary site shall be maintained in such a manner as to allow reasonable access for inspection. All hives must have movable frames.
Hello, as you have read above, my local apiary regulations require that all hives must have movable frames.
Can you tell me, do 'top bar' style hives, such as a Warre hive, constitute a 'movable frame' ... after all, there is a removable top bar, it's just not encircled on all four sides, bit it's definitely movable...

Internet rights are human rights
By APC for APC
MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, 22 November 2010
Restricting free expression, association and the free flow of information on the internet has become a global trend and its intensity and impact is greatest in countries lacking a culture of democracy or strong human rights regimes. People who speak out against repression risk their own freedom and safety and the sites that carry their online denouncements are often censored or banned. A new APC project "Internet rights are human rights" starting in November 2010 builds on our long-standing work including our Internet Rights Charter aims to secure freedom of expression and association on the internet to those who need it most: human rights defenders.Full article at http://www.apc.org/en/node/11424/

(Nov 14 - 15, 2006)
U.S. Higher Education Delegation to Asia
Following a productive and educational visit to Japan, the U.S. delegation of university presidents, led by Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings and Assistant Secretary of State Dina Powell, traveled to the Republic of Korea. They continued to highlight the U.S. as a higher education destination for Korean students, offering a diverse range of opportunities at thousands of colleges and universities throughout the United States.
The delegation leaders also stressed the need to encourage U.S. students to study in Korea. Throughout the visit both Secretary Spellings and Assistant Secretary Powell underlined the importance of President Bush's National Security Language Initiative, as Korean is one of seven critical languages as part of this initiative.
While in Seoul, the delegation met with students, university administrators, government officials and business leaders, underscoring the desire of the U.S. to strengthen relationships between U.S. and Korean colleges and universities and increase student and faculty educational exchanges.
Secretary Spelling announced during their trip that Korea had the largest percentage increase in students studying abroad last year, as well as the number of F-1 visas offered to students living in Korea. In fact, Korea is the third-leading country of origin for students studying abroad in the U.S. and over the last year, the number of F-1 visas issued increased by almost 21 percent.
Deputy Prime Minister Kim Shin-Il hosted Secretary Spellings and Assistant Secretary Powell for a meeting to discuss enhanced efforts by both the U.S. and Korean governments to foster more international education opportunities for students. The Secretary praised Korea for launching a new initiative, Vision 2010, aimed at achieving this goal for increased educational collaborations between Korea and other nations.
The delegation participated in an event with students at Sungkyunkwan University in Seoul, one of the world's oldest and most vibrant universities with a rich history and tradition. The Secretary expressed to the students that the doors of the U.S. are open to those seeking educational opportunities abroad. Dr. Karen Holbrook, president of The Ohio State University, invited students to participate in new and diverse educational opportunities and welcomed students to explore the opportunities U.S. colleges and universities have to offer.
While engaging with alumni of U.S. Government-sponsored exchange programs such as Fulbright and the International Visitors Leadership Program during a roundtable discussion, Assistant Secretary Powell urged them to encourage Korean young people to pursue similar opportunities and invited their input on how the U.S. can encourage more students to study in America.
Assistant Secretary Powell and the university presidents also engaged in a country-wide real-time online interactive forum sponsored by Café USA, a unique outreach tool of the U.S. Embassy. They answered a variety of questions on topics ranging from affordability of U.S. college tuition to Visa application procedures.
U.S. Ambassador to Korea Alexander Vershbow hosted a reception for the delegation, along with over 250 local government, business and education leaders. During the event, Secretary Spellings emphasized that the U.S. must continue to encourage more students to study in America and send more of our students abroad. She also highlighted the relationship between the U.S. and Korea and our strong tradition of university partnerships and educational exchanges. The U.S. has long been a destination for Korea students, and the delegation emphasized their desire to continue that cooperation in the 21st century.
The delegation also participated in a luncheon event with over 150 members of the American Chamber of Commerce in Seoul to highlight the role of U.S. and Korean business communities to help foster opportunities in higher education through their investment and support.
Following their stop in Korea, the delegation will conclude their journey with a three-day visit to China.

2008 Niko Bellic voice actor unhappy with pay
Grand Theft Auto IV - General News | @ 09:02 AM MDT | By Neil
In the Xbox 360 version of GTA IV, you can unlock an achievement for collecting $500,000 in the game. That sort of money would be a dream for Michael Hollick though, who's saddened by the amount of money he's been paid by Rockstar for providing the voice of Niko Bellic.
Apparently, since taking on the job in 2006, Hollick has been paid around $100,000 for his work and with it being a video game, there are no performance related payments or royalties in sight. Hollick blames his union for not having proper practices in place when dealing with game voices, but he claims that it's "tough" seeing the game pulling in hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue without getting a cut.
The news comes in the week following a Wall Street Journal report that Take Two paid $84m in royalties in 2005. The "bulk of funds" were paid to Sam Houser and other Rockstar executives, the newspaper claims.
