Colts give punter McAfee franchise tag

The Indianapolis Colts have given punter Pat McAfee the franchise tag, meaning he will be paid $2.977 million this season if he doesn't reach a long-term contract with the team. McAfee finished his fourth NFL season ranked fifth in the league in punting with a 47.9-yard average. His 40.3-yard net average was the best of his career. McAfee also handles kickoffs for Indianapolis. Under the franchise tag in 2013, a player is paid according to a formula based on salaries for the past five years at the position and their percentage of the total salary cap. With the non-exclusive tag, his team has the right to match any offer sheet, or get two first-round draft picks in return for allowing him to leave. An exclusive tag ties him to his current team at a higher, but as-yet-undetermined price, for one season.

The state has ordered new steps to minimize risk of exposure to natural gas under property where a large sinkhole formed in August in Assumption Parish. (Associated Press)
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 11:13 AM
BATON ROUGE (AP) — The state has ordered new steps to minimize risk of exposure to natural gas under property where a large sinkhole formed in August in Assumption Parish.
The Louisiana Office of Conservation on Monday issued the new round of directives to Texas Brine Co. LLC, which had operations at an underground salt cavern, where it extracted brine for nearby petrochemical facilities.
The state says data shows the sinkhole is linked to the collapse of a side wall in the cavern.
Texas Brine has been ordered to install a network of observation wells and pressure monitoring wells in the area. Conservation Commissioner James Welsh also ordered Texas Brine to install in-home methane detectors and upgrade ventilation systems for slab-foundation homes and buildings in the area where underground gas has accumulated.
"The steps outlined in this directive will give us an added layer of protection in ensuring public safety and move the response effort closer to bringing the lives of the residents of the Bayou Corne area back to normal," Welsh said in a news release. About 350 area residents are under an evacuation order.
Welsh said the additional requirements are based on analysis by the Office of Conservation and consultants with Shaw Environmental and Infrastructure of conditions where natural gas pressure has been detected. Welsh said that monitoring of slab-based structures in the area has shown no accumulation of natural gas in homes.

Grand Theft Auto IV - General News | @ 12:21 PM MDT | By Slim Trashman
A new article on Xbox.com has confirmed Niko's nationality to be Russian, so that should end that little controversy.
With that, they also released a small bit on multiplayer.
GTA IV will feature a multiplayer mode on Xbox LIVE that will match the drama and intensity of Niko�s solo mission. That�s all we�re allowed to reveal at this stage�
We ponder on what exactly that means. Only time will tell for sure.

How many of you shoot with both eyes open vs. dominant eye only? There are advantages to both eyes, but challenges as well. What's your method, why, and do you struggle with it? I'm "older" and the eyes aren't what they once were. I prefer both eyes, but I struggle with it and pretty much use the dominant eye now. Suggestions?

No possible rapidity of fire can atone for habitual carelessness of aim with the first shot.

Depends on the type of shooting, for shotguns and close in work with a rifle or pistol its both eyes. For precision work I tend to only use my dominant eye.
I had a heck of a time starting to use both eyes on pistol, but found that practice was really the only way to get used to it.

I use both eyes. Started doing it with iron sights. When I first used a scope, I closed my left eye. After getting used to using red dots and ACOGs with both eyes open, I started doing it with normal scopes also, which also resulted in much quicker acquisition. I always shoot both eyes open now.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
I always use both eyes, most of my training is SD stuff. Both eyes let you see a wider area, and see more threats or innocents.
Both eyes, even with rifles. I've found that if I close my weak eye for a long time, my brain starts to ignore it, and it takes a few seconds for it "come back online" after I open it, so I just don't close it.

I get faster target acquisition with both eyes open, but go to my dominant eye when shot placement counts.

Great timing on this thread.
I'm just now trying to convert from dominate to both eyes. Any suggestions on technique? I keep getting double focus and I'm all over the place on the target.
*WARNING - I may or may not know what I am talking about.
Both. Again, the key is target acquisition and threat assessment. I find that both eyes are necessary for that. Plus IMAO in a SD situation you will not make significant use of your sites anyway.

Wow, I am the odd man out I guess. Dominant eye for me. Looks like I need to start trying out both eyes.

A step towards reality
Page Tools
The furore that followed Telstra's announcement last week that it would increase its line rental charges was predictable and predictably ill-informed. Missing from most of the discussion and criticism was an acknowledgement that an increase in line rental charges is government policy and has been encouraged by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.
The policy is aimed at wiping out what was once a $1 billion-plus a year "access deficit" - the extent to which Telstra prices its basic access charges below cost - by 2006. That deficit distorts Telstra's pricing and the incentives for its competitors to use its network rather than build or use their own.
As line rental charges rise, call prices fall. Indeed call prices fall at a greater rate. Telstra is allowed to increase basic access charges by as much as the consumer price index plus 4 per cent each year. It is, however, also forced to reduce a basket of local call, STD, international and fixed-to-mobile costs by CPI minus 4.5 per cent a year.
While the net effects are difficult to discern because they vary between customers depending on their patterns of telephone usage and are distorted by the volume effects of price changes, the revenues and customer numbers generated by Telstra's core regulated services have been flat-lining in recent years, suggesting they broadly cancel each other out.
What one can say is that those who make a lot of phone calls, and particularly those who make a lot of interstate and international calls, are probably net winners from the rebalancing of the relationship between line rentals and call charges.
The correlation between phone usage and socio-economic status is low, which means that the rebalancing doesn't necessarily penalise low-income families or favour particular groups within the community.
When the access deficit is phased out in 2006 . . . competition will intensify and longer-term consumer benefit will be generated.
The rebalancing decision is a difficult one for Telstra because it knows its customers will see it only in terms of the increase in line rentals. It knows that is likely to drive higher churn rates and losses of customers to its competitors and also that it will help fuel an already accelerating substitution of wireless services for those carried by its copper wire network.
It also knows that it has to maintain average pricing for its services across the country, which means that it is vulnerable to cherry-picking and by-passing of its network in urban areas unless in future it absorbs an element of the access deficit now funded by its competitors.
The access deficit comes from the interaction between the retail price caps that were introduced at the onset of deregulation of the industry to ensure that consumers benefited from Telstra's increased efficiency and the wholesale access pricing regime, which recognised that Telstra's competitors would gain access to its network at prices below Telstra's actual costs. Its competitors were required to contribute to the funding of the deficit through network access and interconnection charges.
When the access deficit is phased out in 2006 those competitors will have a greater incentive to build their own networks or facilities that piggy-back on Telstra's unconditioned local loop. Competition will intensify and longer-term consumer benefit will be generated.
Cathy Walter has played her hole card by simplifying her demands for boardroom renewal at National Australia Bank to a straight-forward "if he goes, I'll go". He, of course, is chairman Graham Kraehe.
While that might appear to be a relatively painless way to end the hostilities between Walter and her fellow directors and avoid the bruising and destructive extraordinary meetings of shareholders that would otherwise decide the fates of all the directors, it is an invitation that will almost certainly be declined.
Kraehe is more than willing to depart the bank, but not just yet. He wants - and has been persuaded by NAB's institutional shareholders - to remain in place as chairman until the board has been "renewed", a suitable successor is in place and NAB's destabilised management team has been settled.
There is no one else within the boardroom who is both willing and acceptable to the institutions as chairman. There is also an acceptance among the institutions that Kraehe provides the continuity and experience the bank will need until a new board, Kraehe's successor and NAB chief executive, John Stewart, have had the time to get up to speed on the bank's affairs.
Thus Walter's "offer," while apparently appealing, is unlikely to be accepted. It is unclear whether she realised that when she made it public. Targeting Kraehe alone could fracture the cohesion among the other directors and distract the institutions who will decide the outcomes at the EGMs.
"Plan B" for the other seven directors, however, appears to be to go into the extraordinary meetings with an offer of their own to counter the phased and wholesale purging of the board contemplated by Walter's slate of resolutions.
At least two longer-serving directors will offer their resignations for the good of the institution and there may be some promise of further evolutionary change over time. Kraehe will nominate a date for his retirement and set out more clearly the nature and scope of the renewal program and succession planning he will oversee before he departs.
Given that chairman Charles Allen, CEO Frank Cicutto and other senior executives have already resigned, that Walter is going and Kraehe will commit to leaving after a limited period, the addition of two more departures ought to satiate the most bloodthirsty of institutions - and secure their support and votes - while preserving at least a core of experience within the boardroom.

ALL around Australia men's arms are thickening and women are comparing their ab muscles.
Your Facebook feed is filled with former colleagues whose body fat is plummeting and friends from school who are perennially dressed in exercise gear.
These people all belong to the same cult. And if you haven't heard of it yet, you're well behind the curve.
You could say CrossFit is sweeping the world, but really it has swept, mopped and put on a load of washing before you've even hit the snooze button for the first time.
CrossFit is the high-energy, fat-shredding, strength-building discipline that has captured the collective fitness imagination.
When you go to Christmas dinner this year and your newly svelte cousin Suzy is dodging the potato salad, she'll chalk it up to CrossFit.
But what if you don't know your double-unders from your muscle-ups? Fear not. An introduction to the WOD squad doesn't have to be a hassle.
In fact, we've compiled five CrossFit WODs (that's Workouts of the Day, for the uninitiated) you can do at home with no equipment.
1. MICHAEL (WODs are mostly named after people)
Three rounds, as fast as you can, of:
800m run
50 back extensions: This is when you lie on your stomach with your hands by your ears. Keep your feet and knees glued to the ground as you raise your head, chest and shoulders off the ground as high as you can)
50 sit-ups: you remember these from PE class.
Six rounds as fast as you can:
50 squats: Stand with your feet just wider than shoulder-width. Sit back like there's a chair behind you and then stand back up straight when your hamstrings are parallel with the ground.
25 triceps dips: Sit on a chair or a bench with your hands by your sides, fingers over the edge of the seat. Then slide your bum off the chair. This is your dips position. To do a dip, lower your bum to the ground while keeping your elbows pined back, not splaying out to the side like chicken wings. This exercise works the muscles at the back of your arms. No more tuckshop lady wobble.
Six rounds as fast as you can:
24 squats
24 push-ups: the classic chest-sculptor needs no introduction.
24 walking lunges: standing with your feet at hip-width, take a long stride forward and in the same motion, drop your back knee so it's almost touching the ground. You should still be able to see your toe over your front knee. That counts as one. On your way up, take another long lunge forward with the other leg and drop the back knee again. That's two, and so on. It's basically elongated walking.
21 reps, then 15 reps, then 9 reps, as fast as you can, of:
Overhead squats: It requires a slightly wider stance than a regular squat to help with your balance. Hold a broomstick over your head with a wide grip, so your arms are locked at the elbows. Then complete a squat as described above, keeping your arms overhead.
Burpees: like a push-up on steroids. This is the one all your exercising friends have nightmares about. Start standing, then leap down into a push-up position, kicking your feet out behind you. But unlike a push-up, lower your whole body on to the ground. Then spring back up to standing position, and complete the rep with a jump, hands overhead. That's one.
As fast as you can:
100 jumping jacks
75 squats
50 push-ups
25 burpees
See how you go with those. Try one a day for a week, then have another crack next week and you'll notice you've shaved minutes off your time.

err I ment JL 10w7, I want one of these...now help?
Okay so I want to install a JL 10w7 and keep the OEM HU
Heres what I believe I need so far...
JL 10w7 woofer
JL 500/1 amp
Wicked CAS Enclosure
Sven2 LOC, right???
What gauge wire kit (brand)do you guys recommend for this set up.
Where can I mount the amplifier so its as discrete as possible with out overheating? Or where do you guys most commonly mount yours?
Any other info would help thanks!
You can definetely keep your HK setup the way it is, as it runs on its own amp. You can mount the amp on the sub box to keep everything clean or on the back of the seat, whatever your preference. Personally, I have my amp mounted to the right of the box facing it. JL amps are very sturdy and you should not worry too much about it overheating with a single woofer setup.
HK set up... I dont have an HK ooo HU... I ment head unit by that... and Im going to go with the wicked cas box , I think ill mount the amp on the ceiling of the trunk, I read that some have done that...
My main concerns are what LOC will I need for a JL 500/1 amp and what gauge and brand wiring to you guys suggest?
Go with a 4gauge wire. You don't have far to go, so it wont cost a ton.
okay thanks! should I just get it cut to length from a shop?
any Idea on what LOC i will need?
you ground and power are going to be short and simple since your battery is right in the trunk, your signal wires and remote are going to be the ones you'll need adequate measuring of, get a little bit longer just in case.
okay, but what about a LOC!!! lol i searched and am not finding anything specific to a 500/1 amp????
a sven 2 will work with that setup.
will the LOC affect the quality of my sound? What I mean is.... is there a better LOC I should get?
all you really need is the SVEN. They do have more expensive options.
When i originally installed my system, i just added subs, components, and amps with a LOC. I wasnt happy with the lack of flexibility with the stock radio so i installed a headunit. That would be the best option, but alot feel that the headunits look out of place in our dashes. With the stock radio, you dont get any control of the sound other than volume, fader, balance. You do get bass and treble, but it affects the whole stereo. With an aftermarket headunit, you can control different aspects of your system.
Instead of buying a high price LOC like the Rockford 3.sixty, or the Audiocontrol LC6i, i would look to get a headunit. Many have used the Sven2/4 LOCs and have been happy with them.
yah i def. dont want a new HU I like the oem look :) , are there any benefits to the more expensive LOCs?
for your setup, no. If you were to run new components with an amp, and run all your audio signals thru them, then it offers you more flexibility with crossovers, time-alignment, sound processing.
Since your just running a sub, i would just do a sven 2.
thanks for the help my man!
Don't need a loc for the 500/1. Just tap into the oem amplifier inputs and solder some RCA wires, then plug into the new amp.
uh-oh, now im getting mixed signals?
(no pun intended)
OEM head unit puts out a balanced-differential signal. 500/1 can take this signal directly, no adaptors necessary.
thanks ca1242! save me some cash...
good catch. Im not too familiar with JL Amps.
would it hurt if I installed a LOC any how?
It is not going to hurt but it is one additional knob to adjust and one additional component that can fail. I personally like to keep things simple and minimize equipment.

Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog (ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグ, Sonic the Hedgehog) is the main character of the Sonic the Hedgehog games and the mascot of Sega. Sonic was first introduced by Sega in 1991 in the game Sonic the Hedgehog to combat Nintendo's mascot, Mario. He is often thought of as Mario's unofficial rival, although they have appeared in games together. Alongside Solid Snake, he is a third-party character that made his Super Smash Bros. debut in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Sonic was announced to make a return in Super Smash Bros. 4 during a Nintendo Direct on October 1, 2013.
Sonic is a male, 15 year-old, anthropomorphic hedgehog. He has spiky blue hair, green eyes, and red and white running shoes with gold buckles. He is only one meter (3ft, 3in) tall, though his height is noticeably increased for his appearances in the Super Smash Bros. series. As his name suggests, he is capable of running at supersonic speeds. The self-described "coolest, blue hedgehog alive," he has a bit of an attitude and is impatient, but cannot resist helping someone in need. He values freedom above all else and constantly campaigns to free animals imprisoned by the evil Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik. Generally speaking, Sonic loves being able to do what he wants and loathes being constrained. He gathers golden rings for energy, and when he collects the seven Chaos Emeralds, he becomes Super Sonic, with yellow fur and red eyes, capable of flight. Most of the time, every challenge he faces seems enjoyable to him; another chance to get moving. However, he does take time to relax once in a while. Early Western profiles sometimes portrayed Sonic as being from the fictional planet Mobius, while Japanese profiles (which Western territories would follow starting in 1999 with Sonic Adventure) state that his birthplace is Christmas Island, a real world dependent territory of Australia.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]
Although Sega and Nintendo were hardware and software rivals at the release of the Nintendo GameCube, Sonic's creator Yuji Naka claimed that there existed a possibility of including Sonic in Melee. However, time constraints apparently caused these plans to fall through. It would later be revealed that both Shigeru Miyamoto and Masahiro Sakurai would have been fine with the idea of Sonic in Melee.
While unofficial, an infamous hoax claimed that Sonic and Tails were unlockable in Melee. Despite having been proven as false, the hoax remains well-known in both the Super Smash Bros. community and the wider world of gaming.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]
Sonic is a playable character in Brawl and was confirmed on October 9th, 2007. He is the fastest character in the game, with attacks based largely on his earlier platforming games. His appearance is based on the "modern" Sonic appearance which debuted in Sonic Adventure. Sonic's Final Smash, Super Sonic, is a very powerful transformation that allows him to fly around the stage at incredible speed. Sonic also appears very late in the game's story mode, helping to defeat Tabuu in the final battle.
Sonic is ranked 22nd on the current tier list, placing him in the D tier. This is due to his severely unimpressive KO potential almost completely offsetting his amazing frame data and movement options.
The world's fastest hedgehog, who can run at supersonic speeds. Generally speaking, he loves being able to do what he wants and loathes being constrained. Holding still is something he would never consider. He's got a bit of an attitude but can't pass by someone in trouble. When he collects the seven Chaos Emeralds, he transforms into the mighty, gold Super Sonic.
In Super Smash Bros. 4[edit]
Sonic's return to the series was confirmed during the Nintendo Direct of October 1st, 2013. In addition to a slightly updated design, Sonic is now voiced by Roger Craig Smith, who succeeded Jason Griffith in 2010. Sonic also holds the distinction of being the first and currently only third-party character to be a veteran.
Sonic has been heavily buffed in the transition from Brawl to Super Smash Bros. 4. In addition to retaining his outstanding speed and mobility, Sonic's previously abysmal KO power has improved significantly and his combo game has been improved. While he received nerfs to his recovery and increased lag on some moves, the noticeable improvements to his KO potential have resulted in his viability improving compared to Brawl. This has been reflected with strong representation and great results in tournaments.
As a result of his improvements and competitive success, Sonic is currently ranked 5th place out of 58, placing him at the top of the A tier.

1963, London Prince of Wales
4th November, 1963
This was the night that Beatlemania hit the Royal Variety Performance. The Beatles
attracted ecstatic fans outside the Prince of Wales theatre and through the Sunday
rehearsals the noise of the throng could be heard by the artistes on stage. It
was necessary to construct a screened passageway between the theatre and the
hotel next door, where the Beatles were staying, in order to get them in and
out of the theatre without being seen. The effect of the crowds obviously affected
the other artistes on the bill and Marlene Dietrich made a point of always being in
evidence when the photographers were around! During rehearsal Paul McCartney
managed to get his guitar caught in the curtains, but on the night itself the Beatles
took the show by storm and John Lennon passed into Royal Variety history when
he made his celebrated suggestion that those in the cheap seats should clap their
hands; the rest could just rattle their jewellery. You can watch their full performance
by clicking on the link at the bottom of this page.

New car sales for November are better than they've been in the last five years.
Motor Trade Association spokesman Ian Stronach says that's confounded most observers this year.
He says November is usually a bit quieter after October, which is often boosted by rental deliveries, but itâs held up really well this time.
Sales are dominated by Toyota, which has a 20 percent share of the market - the top selling passenger car is a Toyota Corolla and the best selling commercial vehicle is the Toyota HiLux.
There's also been a surge in scooter sales - they're up by 50 percent.
Motorbike sales are down 10 percent.

Irreverent Rhymes by Yip Harburg to be Republished by FFRF
Ernie Harburg, son of songwriter Yip Harburg, and Dan Barker, Foundation co-president, met recently in the New York offices of the Yip Harburg Foundation. E. Y. ("Yip") Harburg (1896-1981) wrote such classics as "Over the Rainbow," "Brother, Can You Spare A Dime?" and "It's Only a Paper Moon."
Dan and Ernie discussed the republication by the Foundation of Rhymes for the Irreverent, a collection of Yip's poems, in very kind collaboration with the Yip Harburg Foundation. Ernie, a retired research scientist who shares his father's freethought views, is the president of the Yip Harburg Foundation and a new member of the Freedom From Religion Foundation.
The book will be published this fall, and details will be reported in future issues. (See Dan's article about Harburg in the April 2005 Freethought Today.)

Welcome to another chapter of The Amazing Sessions! This week has been amazing for us, with not one, but two awesome artists in our studio. Firstly Saint Saviour, and today, Holy Mammoth. The North-East based four-piece came in and made a hell of a noise. Ruth Kilpatrick was there to tell all.
Being termed a 'buzz-band' can often come with a few negative connotations these days – either in that the term itself is now so overused it appears completely redundant, or more often than not it's due to the fact that the cynical minded amongst us tend to equate 'buzz' with 'brand new', and a lack of longevity with a consequent lack of credibility.
That said, I can vouch for the fact that Holy Mammoth fall into neither of the above categories - despite seemingly being at the epicentre of an audibly 'buzzing' scene that's currently thriving in their native North East. They've made their tracks available at amazingtunes.com and SoundCloud but with no official releases or plans to tour. I mention this because despite the lack of any records to sell, any big social media based marketing push and what in fairness is a sparse gigging history as Holy Mammoth, they still find themselves at the top of numerous lists when it comes to recommending new music and prove to be a consistent crowd puller whenever they play.
With us in the studio that day were guitarist and vocalist Andrew Davey, bassist Sam Megahy, Andrew Metcalf on guitar and Mark Atwill on drums. As with most bands there's a long history of previous incarnations as musicians, Holy Mammoth however like to keep things simple by all having been in the same band beforehand. Starting out as The Catweasels at the age of 15, whilst still at school, worked out quite well for the Mammoth lads at the time; successful touring and the release of well received EP's stood them in good stead for the shift into what would become Holy Mammoth and the new direction that they'd craved, as Andrew Metcalf explains:
"Catweasels toured and put out singles and EPs and filmed videos, we had a lot of fun but it came to a comfortable end. Mammoth was quite a conscious decision because we knew we wanted to get away from what we had been doing and write music that was a lot closer to the music we'd started discovering as we were growing older, and we found that the sound and the songs themselves seemed to develop naturally."
Including The Sea has never been played live in their hometown and never recorded before either, yet the live version we have a here is still a great representation of their abilities as musicians and along with Amazing Radio favourite Years stands as a testament to their increasingly validated live reputation.
Guitarist Andrew Metcalf went on to explain:
"Our writing process involves Andy bringing the building blocks to the table, but it's very much a collaborative effort after that. We normally work out the structure and parts together and it normally ends up being very different to how it started. A lot of the time it doesn't take us long to write, on the other hand our most recent song took us about 2 years to finish, putting a pin in things and coming back to them can be good."
After listening back to the tracks from the session and their recordings online it's obvious that whichever writing route they choose it's clearly working for them. Their scuzzy sounding guitars and steadily building rythms are an example of an increasingly popular style of music at the moment, but Holy Mammoth are way ahead of the curve. This has to be in part due to Andrew Davey's seemingly effortless knack for sounding just the right amount of aggressive in amongst what are often incredibly tender vocals and lyrical content. Holy Mammoth are one of the best, and with new material being recorded plus plans for more gigs around the end of April I don't doubt that they will, at some point, be your new favourite band too.

Comments about oreilly Responsive Web Design with jQuery:
The front end developer have embedded every aspect of responsive design in the book. I started to read the book few weeks back. Through the journey of the book you will realize the realm of adaptation and usefulness of the responsiveness. The most important thing which I love about the book is way the content is aligned. You will start with the Chapter 1 having plenty of references making your mind open in the free space of web designing and the flourishing advancement made in the direction followed by the creation of the basic grid based design and creating some creativeness with text , menus , images , videos , sliders , tables and forms. The explanation of browser support is my personal favorite supporting my profitable cause of fighting with the Internet Explorer issues. The book takes on every design consideration of web responsiveness and with a through study of the book , you would find yourself in a matured thinking of website designing. j Query a fierce subject for the persons who have less hands on over it added to which is IE trauma. The book gives you a light on cementing these pot holes off the road of success. I highly recommend this book if you have a charm of making your websites more responsive with the smartness of the peoples through smartphones.

When I observe how people engage in romantic relationships, it seems that they do this in one of two ways: either from the perspective of a child or from that of an adult. People who pursue love from an adult perspective are looking for companionship, romance, a life partner. People who approach love from a child-like perspective, however, have a very different agenda
There's no point in going easy on someone when they behave badly in a relationship because when we tolerate disrespect, we give the other person can continue to mistreat us. If men and women were to follow four simple rules, I think that fewer feelings would be hurt and a lot less time would be wasted.

Why You Need an International PPC Campaign, and How to Do It
|Average rating: Rate this article
Are you using the power of PPC to get the international traffic you deserve? This sort of advertising can put a brand or service in front of global customers who would otherwise be out of reach.
Even if you already benefit from PPC (pay-per-click) advertising, using the English language will only take you so far in the rapidly changing online landscape. Looking back at 2012, the percentage of Internet users by world region put Asia at 44.8%, far ahead of North America's 11.4%. Even more interesting were the figures for growth, where the North American region took last place. In contrast, huge growth could be seen in Africa, the Middle East and Latin America.
As these trends continue, all online businesses must adapt to suit these new boom markets. Their preferences matter – from the way they connect to and search the web to the languages they use.
Here's how you can create an international PPC strategy that will keep your business on top of the changes and reach customers worldwide.
Go Mobile
One huge change due to shifting global demographics is the way people are accessing the web. Mobile devices rule in Asia, and indeed in rapidly developing markets around the world.
Forbes reports that by the end of last year 13% of global Internet traffic was mobile. This figure will only grow. The Ericsson Mobility Report from November 2012 predicts 6.5 billion mobile broadband subscriptions worldwide by 2018. The same report sees smartphones leading this mobile revolution, with an estimated 3.3 billion subscriptions by 2018.
There's never been a better time to invest in mobile advertising. In the US alone, eMarketer predicts mobile ad spending will rise to $7.19 billion this year, increasing further to $20.89 billion by 2016.
Remember, with mobile PPC you are often dealing with different users and will need to plan a separate campaign with them in mind. Mobile users are more likely to be ready to take immediate action and mobile-friendly landing pages are essential. You might also need to write different ad copy, and to use different metrics to gauge your success.
Get Your Keywords Right
Where keywords are concerned, it's good news for global business. Keyword competition is often less intense in foreign-language markets, making it more affordable to target growth markets in Asia, South America or the Middle East.
Some care is needed in selecting keywords, however. Your top performers in English won't always translate perfectly, so don't settle for dictionary equivalents. Use tools such as Google Trends to understand which terms overseas customers are using to find your kind of product or service.
Even when you find a popular search term, double check with a native speaker to make sure there's not an alternative meaning for it in your target language. For instance, 'Madonna' has an unusually high search volume in Italy – a reflection on the Roman Catholic religion of the country rather than a love of pop music.
Be Influenced by Culture
As the above example demonstrates, it's important not to underestimate the impact of culture on how people search. Your ad copy too will need to reflect cultural differences if you want to appeal to overseas web users.
For instance, in many countries a direct call to action is an effective way to convert PPC traffic. However, in some cultures a more ambiguous and open approach is valued. Giving direct orders in some Asian markets, for example, comes across as disrespectful to your potential customer. Similarly, Western markets often place value on the independence of the individual, while Eastern ones favor a more collective style.
If you use banner ads, cultural awareness is even more important. Color and imagery need to be adapted to suit local preferences. Vibrant colors and a busy ad will grab attention in countries like Hong Kong, but can turn off web users closer to home.
Research Regional Ad Networks
Statistics for your home market might suggest you've got PPC covered with Google AdWords. Yet in some parts of the world there are other networks that dominate search. China is a notable example, with ad networks AdChina and Madhouse leading the way. For South Korea, it is Naver rather than Google that handles most search traffic.
Some ad networks specialize in particular languages, which can give them an edge in those markets. For instance, Harrenmedia Network leads the field for online advertising in Latin America.
Finally, if you want visibility on certain sites, check out their own ad networks such as Facebook Paid Ads, Amazon Product Ads, or Reddit Ads. These can be a more affordable than AdWords to reach a niche audience. As far as mobile PPC is concerned, you might want to consider iAd, InMobi or mMedia.
Don't be left behind. By using international PPC to its full advantage, you can take your place on a global stage. It's an exciting place to be.

RIP: Apple iPod™ "Classic"
iTunes Match ($25 a year) solves problems with 10,000+ song music collections. Your iPhone only needs to devote a small cache of space to music, because it all fits in the cloud and streams/downloads on demand. Beware roadtrips, but it all works fine downtown.
And when iTunes inevitably crashes and corrupts the library file and/or eats half your music, it really is "click-click-Download-wait" and the problem solves itself. Also when you import a new song the process to get it then synced to your phone is much, much faster. I don't know why iTunes Match is faster than a USB cable, but it is.

@1 is an idiot. Some parents are abusive and take advantage of their children, treating them like slave property.
Now, should we as a society do something about that? I think so, the kids tend to grow into adults one day.

Daddy, Tell Us about When You Were a Little Boy: 89 Years and Most of Them Fun
€ 32,49
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
Januar 2003
BeschreibungWorking alone, to start with, I filled three pages of legal pads with two columns per page with notes on events in my life. The title of the book came from the incessant questioning by my daughters for stories of my life, and of the lives of those near and dear to me. I have had an interesting series of events that carried me through prep school, three colleges (with two bachelor's degrees), three WII essential engineering jobs, and close to three years as a U.S. Navy intelligence officer, over two years of which were in the Pacific. Initially, after nine years working as a mechanic, I began a career in 1947 as a contractor with a small business that my father turned over to me. This ended in 1988 when I sold my 82-year old business that had completed that year over $4 million worth of contracts. In retirement since 1988, my wife and I have spent the winters in a deluxe country club complex in Florida and our summers on our 11-acre farm in Connecticut. I played golf, spent afternoons in the condominium pool, and, following advice given to me by my dad's brother, a doctor, I have a three-ounce martini every night to keep the blood thin and the heart relaxed.

SIX SURPRISING HEALTH BENEFITS OF COLD WEATHER (Huffington Post):
1) Cold weather burns calories. You may have heard of "brown fat," a type of fat found naturally in parts of the body that, when triggered, can burn off other "white" fat. In a 2012 study, researchers found that cold weather seemed to set the brown fat into motion, and that simply being cold could cause significant calorie burn. (Exercise may have a similar effect, as demonstrated in a study from around the same time, the New York Times reported.) Experts caution that the obesity epidemic is not likely to be solved by the creation of a brown-fat triggering pill. But at least the idea might offer a little comfort when you find yourself chilled to the bone.
2) Cold weather brings us closer. It can be tempting to spend the coldest mornings safely tucked under the covers; it's only natural to want to avoid the most brutal temps. But during periods of such weather-induced isolation, we tend to reach out to contact our closest friends and family on the phone, and end up chatting with them for longer than usual, according to a 2012 study.
3) Cold weather is less hospitable for disease-carrying bugs. During the summer of 2012 -- when West Nile cases were climbing -- much was made of the milder 2011-2012 winter and its effect on the disease-spreading mosquito population.The pests thrive in milder climates, meaning they were able to survive -- and breed -- all winter, just waiting to feast come spring. Freezing or below-freezing temps might kill off some skeeters (and ticks), thereby protecting you from the illnesses they are known to spread.
4) Cold weather brings greater appreciation of brighter days. Week after week of balmy weather sounds pretty lovely right about now, but there's evidence to suggest that it doesn't necessarily make you happy. In fact, some research suggests that if the weather never changes, you start taking that sunshine for granted. Shivering through the cold makes those warm spring days seem even better when they finally come along, according to Psychology Today.
5) Cold weather can reduce inflammation. There's a reason putting ice on an injury works. That drop in temperature reduces inflammation in, say, a sprained ankle or stubbed toe. But the theory works on a much grander scale, too -- cold temperatures can reduce inflammation and pain all over.
6) Cold weather may boost your body image. While we certainly don't advise going all-out on the wintertime comfort foods, we do appreciate the escape from the pressure to get a "bikini body." It's a great time to focus on fitness -- hello, New Year's resolutions -- without the pressure to do so for your looks alone.

Police investigating the death of slain Paeroa pizza shop owner Jordan Voudouris believe a group of people travelling in a small white car with a "distinctive" black door may hold vital information on the case.
Voudouris, 55, was found dead outside his business on June 18.
Two men have been arrested over an attempted robbery of a Waihi service station and the aggravated robbery of a Katikati dairy on the same morning of his death and police are investigating whether the crimes are linked.
Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Whitehead said the occupants of a car travelling through Paeroa a few hours before Voudouris' body was discovered may have key information for investigators.
"We are seeking to identify a small white four-door car that had a distinctive black front passenger door.
"We believe the occupants of this car may be able to assist us in building up a picture of what was happening in the town overnight and during the early hours of the morning."
To give information on the case, call Paeroa police on 07 862 8744.

Pro-life advocate Anthony Horvath is trying to stir up a hornet's nest with remarks aimed to shake up the status quo in America's abortion debate. Insisting that it is time for people to keep their religious views about abortion out of politics, Horvath asserts that unless Christians meet secularists 'on their own terms,' ultimately there will be little movement on the issue in the United States.
Horvath, executive director of Athanatos Christian Ministries, says, "In our country, there is a general feeling that only positions backed by actual fact should drive public policy. 'Religion' is perceived to be the realm of personal opinion. Even Christians tend to accept the view that people are allowed to have their opinion, but they aren't allowed to impose that opinion on others. The result is that many Christians refrain from acting 'politically' because they see their own beliefs as nothing more than 'mere opinion.'"
But are the terms "religion" and "fact" actually opposites? Horvath argues that if Christianity is actually true, then many of its claims are, in actuality, facts, and Christians should be as confident acting on them as any other person who believes the facts on their side.
Horvath concedes that Christians who believe their faith is mere opinion should stay out of politics, but only if secular humanists will do the same. He accuses them of having views about society and the value of humans that are essentially religious in nature and dares them to prove otherwise.
Do you agree? Is it possible to remove religious views from the abortion debate?

SIMON Cowell is a man in demand - with a string of women pursuing him - but the good-looking bachelor is said to be reluctant to commit.
The 53-year-old media mogul is expecting a baby with Lauren Silverman, the ex-wife of Simon's former good friend Andrew Silverman.
The shock baby news is said to have hurt Simon's former flame Mezhgan Hussainy particularly badly, even though she split from the X Factor boss in 2011.
Sources say Simon is aware that Mezhgan is still pining for him, and that Lauren is also interested in building on their relationship.
"Simon knows Lauren wants a romantic relationship, but he doesn't know if he can change his bachelor lifestyle," an insider admitted to Closer magazine.
"He wants to be on good terms with her and just see what develops."
At the recent UK premiere for boyband One Direction's movie This Is Us, the music mogul was reportedly anxious about Mezhgan's attendance. Friends say Simon - who discovered the group - saw his ex looking upset at the event.
"Mezhgan's been very tearful and finds the whole situation hard to bear," an insider revealed.
"There's a part of her that feels that she should be the one who is having his baby. She took a younger guy to the premiere to lift her spirits but still felt low.
"Simon hates seeing her so upset and feels torn. He just wants everyone to be happy, but knows Lauren and the baby have to be his priority now."
Mezhgan, 40, dated Simon from December 2009. The pair were engaged to be married before they ended things in 2011, with Simon admitting he was a "lousy boyfriend" at the time.

Sorry about the pics. my first.
This is a discussion on Picked up my Taurus within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; I picked up the PT945, I posted about. I ran 150 rounds through it, with out a glich. http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2.../Taurus004.jpg http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2.../Taurus002.jpg http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2.../Taurus003.jpg http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2.../Taurus001.jpg...
I picked up the PT945, I posted about. I ran 150 rounds through it, with out a glich.
Great looking weapon Argus. Have you picked a holster out for your weapon yet?
Thanks, No I'm still looking around. There's not a lot of holsters to fit this gun. I'd like a IWB. The ported barrel really helps with re-engaging the target. I like the wieght and balance.
I carry OWB and like a slide holster. Try checking out Don Humes stuff. For mass produce, its not bad. Not like haveing a cutom ( which I do not own ) but it will do.
Yeah they have a jit type slide, and an OWB. I have a Hume IWB for my Sigma, which works for both. Pete had the Hume OWB for sale. But I spent my allowance. Some IWB I've found are, Galco,Comp Tac, Blade Tech, and others.
Nice pistol! I hear Taurus's quality control has greatly improved, maybe I'll give one of their semi-autos a try one day.
USMC rule # 23 of gunfighting: Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
I am the God fearing, gun toting, flag waving conservative you were warned about!
I only had three boxes of .45 to shoot. It was a mixed bag of Ball,jhp and wadcutters. No problems. I had some Wolf I shot up to see how they would feed. Worked well, but made cleaning fun. I ran the serial number through Taurus. Manufacture date was 2003
Welcome to the Bull Family, Argus!!!
I love everything I've got that bears the Taurus logo. My new(ish) 1911 is probably my favorite gun (next to my daily carry Sig).
A man in the hands of his enemies is flesh, and shudderingly vulnerable. - author unknown
Nice looking gun... Who did the porting on it? Factory or custom?
Semper Fi
"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
I have the PT 145 and most ,but not all, leather holsers for the Glock 26 will fit nice. I have one from Donner gun Leather and works great. Also have the Jit Slide.
Ride hard and Shoot safe
The first rule of gunfighting should be to know when the gunfight starts - being the last one to get the news certainly won't put the odds in your favor.
I'm really leaning toward the Comp Tac. That will be awhile though.
Congrats on the new Taurus.
I have a 3rd gen PT145PRO that has been 100% since new. Many hundreds of mixed rounds have been through it without a hiccup.
I trust my 145 completely.
The OWB holster I use was made for a Sig P226 and works perfectly, though I cannot for the life of me remember right now who made it.
Enjoy your new friend and stay safe.

A weekend DUI/drivers licence checkpoint conducted by the California Highway Patrol in North Fairfield nabbed one motorist suspected of driving under the influence and resulted in the citation of six other motorists for various violations, officials reported.
Officers screen a total of 480 vehicle passing through the checkpoint, which was held Saturday on Manuel Campos Parkway, just east of Interstate 80, according to a press release from CHP Officer Chris Parker, public information officer for the Solano office.
Authorities conducted 13 DUI investigations, which include field sobriety tests, resulting in the arrest of one driver suspected of driving while impaired, Parker reported.
Officers also issued six citations for miscellaneous violations, including three to drivers who went through the checkpoint without a drivers license and another driver who had a suspended license, according to Parker. The three drivers without a license were cited and given the opportunity to have a licensed driver come to take possession of the vehicle. The operator who was driving on a suspended license had their vehicle impounded.
Funding for the checkpoint was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

ARIA Hall Of Famer Nick Cave announced the split of his latest band, Grinderman, at the Meredith Music Festival in Victoria, Australia, this weekend just as the last few notes of the band's set rang out over a confused crowd of 12,000.
"That's it for Grinderman. It's over. See you all in another 10 years when we'll all be even older and uglier," Cave said, according to TheQuietus.com.
The abrupt statement left many wondering if they had heard Cave correctly, the Vine reports, and so far there has been no other official word on the break-up.
Known as the frontman of the eclectic rock band Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds, Cave's latest group had also gained critical praise for both its self-titled debut in 2007 and for the band's follow-up, Grinderman 2 (Mute/Anti-) in 2010. Cave began Grinderman with multi-instrumentalist Warren Ellis, bassist Martyn Casey and drummer Jim Sclavunos—all members of the Bad Seeds.
We hope that if this announcement is for real, Grinderman will make a comeback before Cave and his Bad Seeds are too much "older and uglier."

Social Security Ticket to Work Program
The Ticket to Work program is designed to get vocational services to recipients of Social Security disability benefits.
Ticket to Work is Social Security's program to encourage disability recipients to return to work. Ticket to Work expands the vocational services available to people on SSDI and SSI and provides additional protections to people's disability benefits as incentives for them to attempt to return to work. Ticket to Work is strictly a voluntary program; failure to participate will not threaten your benefits.
Under the Ticket to Work program, vocational services, nonprofits, and other entities become employment networks (ENs). (They do this by entering into contracts with Maximus, the corporation that administers the employment network program.)
What Employment Networks Do
Employment networks are available to provide vocational training, job readiness training, resumé writing classes, and other vocational services to SSDI and SSI beneficiaries. Some ENs specialize in providing services only to people with specific disabilities (such as developmental disabilities), while others serve all beneficiaries irrespective of the nature of their disabilities. Some ENs are businesses that rely on the EN system as a means to employ people with disabilities for their own businesses. These ENs are alternatives to the state departments of vocational rehabilitation.
For a list of ENs doing business in your area, see www.yourtickettowork.com.
Free Services Available With Ticket
SSDI and SSI beneficiaries may sign up for services with an EN, or with their state department of rehabilitation, by assigning their Ticket to Work to the EN or department of vocational rehabilitation. ENs, like the departments of rehabilitation, must provide services to beneficiaries free of charge. (If disability recipients who use an EN or department of rehablitation's services reduce or end their reliance on disability benefits by going back to work, the EN or department of rehabilitation eventually receive payments from Social Security beneficiaries).
Note that an EN may accept or reject you as a client, but your state department of rehabilitation has to must accept you as a Ticket to Work participant if you meet its disability criteria.ou can change ENs by withdrawing and reassigning your Ticket to Work, but changing ENs does not extend the time you have to complete your Ticket to Work program (see below).
Eligibility for Ticket to Work Program
Most SSDI and SSI beneficiaries are eligible for the Ticket to Work program; however, the program is not available to those who:
- are expected to improve medically but have not yet had a continuing disability review (but people who have received benefits for three years without a review become eligible for the Ticket to Work program)
- receive only state supplement SSI payments (who are not receiving any federal money)
- receive Section 301 payments while participating in a state department of rehabilitation program
- are getting continued benefits while appealing a medical cessation decision
- attain age 18 and continue to receive SSI benefits under the childhood disability standards
- receive temporary benefits under the expedited reinstatement rules, or
- receive advance payments for presumptive disability or presumptive blindness (just until the SSA grants disability benefits for the disability or blindness).
Duration of Ticket to Work Program
Once you assign your ticket to an EN or your state department of vocational rehabilitation, you begin a seven-year program of education, job training, and work. Timely progress requirements are required during the first six years, but vary depending on whether you are a student during those years (work requirements apply if you are not a student). During the seventh year, you must complete six months of work at the SGA level AND receive no SSDI or SSI benefits due to work during those six months.
Suspension of Continuing Disability Reviews
While you are pursuing a Ticket to Work program and meeting your timely progress requirements, Social Security cannot initiate a continuing disability review (known as a CDR, a review to determine whether your medical condition has improved). But Social Security can complete any review that begins before you assign your Ticket to Work. If you fail to meet your timely progress requirements, you once again become subject to continuing disability reviews.
Will Your Disability Benefits Be Reduced or Stopped?
Unfortunately, even though the Ticket to Work program doesn't do away with the trial work protections of SSDI or the PASS protections of SSI, many disability recipients believe that using the Ticket to Work program would risk their entitlement to Social Security benefits, so not many people have taken advantage of the program.
Other Work Incentives
In addition to creating the Ticket to Work program, the Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act provided additional work incentives by:
- enacting the expedited reinstatement provisions
- encouraging states to make Medicaid available to people with disabilities who are working and earning up to 250% of the federal poverty level
- extending the period during which SSDI beneficiaries may receive continuing Medicare after returning to work at the SGA level
- authorizing payments to state Protection and Advocacy agencies for providing services to SSDI/SSI beneficiaries who return to work, and
- authorizing grants for work incentives planning and assistance.
