A Top-Notch Seal of Approval
There's more to launching an endorsement and licensing program than designing an seal and corralling some product reviewers: Your association's reputation is threatened when you sign off on a bad product. Experts share their insights on what makes a good program work.
Your word may be your bond, but an association's official endorsement also carries a lot of weight—and it can be a major marketing coup. A 2000 study published in the Journal of Consumer Marketing found that association endorsements positively influence consumers' purchasing intentions.
Your association may be able to leverage its influence and generate additional revenue by creating an endorsement program. But a successful program involves more than designing an attractive seal and gathering some product reviewers; there are potential pitfalls in terms of administration and liability. Some organizations, such as AARP, make millions of dollars annually from endorsement deals—as much as $400 million in 2006, according to BusinessWeek. But the organization has been publicly criticized for some of its endorsements, as well. If your association is considering an endorsement program, take a close look not only at what you're approving, but how you're doing it and why.
Proper Acceptance
Association endorsement programs come in three main forms:
- True endorsement. An association evaluates a product or service and provides a "seal of approval" for use by the vendor.
- Nontraditional models. The association is actively involved in the creation and marketing of a product or service.
- Licensing deals. An association enters into a sponsorship agreement with a vendor that permits the use of the association's logo but does not include an evaluation process by the association.
One of the most established and well-known association endorsement programs is the Seal of Acceptance [read its guidelines here] granted by the American Dental Association (ADA). The seal program was created in 1930, says Clifford Whall, DDS, who has administered the program since 1981.
"Many dental products were making dubious claims in the late 1920s," he says. "As a service to all ADA members, some of our member dentists evaluated these products and published their data." Until 1995, there was no fee for a product to be evaluated for the ADA seal; all expenses were covered by member dues.
As the evaluation program grew in size and stature, ADA member dentists developed guidelines for many product types and outlined the necessary clinical studies required to ensure safety and effectiveness of consumer products. The seal is sought after: Whall estimates 15 to 20 products are submitted for evaluation each year, and more than 300 have earned the seal. The submission fee is $14,500, and after approval an annual fee of $3,000 is required to maintain the use of the seal. Why do companies pay so much? "It is a rigorous, objective, scientific, third-party evaluation with great credibility," he says.
When submitting a product for evaluation, the applying company must provide clinical studies that demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the product. These studies undergo rigorous review by a team of expert consultants; products with successful reviews are then forwarded to ADA's council of 17 academic research dentists. About one quarter of applications are denied the first time, Whall says.
Despite the hefty evaluation fee, the program is "not a money maker," according to Whall; fees only cover the administrative and overhead costs of maintaining the program. ADA offers no exclusive endorsements in any product category and does not limit the number of applications a manufacturer can make or the number of products that can carry the seal.
Whall emphasizes that the Seal of Acceptance is not an endorsement but rather an official ADA statement saying that the product has been shown to be safe and effective; therefore, ADA has no product liability. "Our goal is to provide consumers with information that they can use; the seal ensures truth in advertising," he says.
Paths to Approval
The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) has been endorsing products and services for more than 10 years. Examples include a La-Z-Boy anti-back-pain recliner, North Face backpacks, and certain brands of mattresses. Vendors apply for the ACA endorsement by submitting studies and evidence of accountability, a process that carries a flat fee. Once approved, ACA negotiates an endorsement contract with the manufacturer; fees and terms vary depending on whether the contract is exclusive or nonexclusive. Both types of endorsements have their pros and cons, says Cheryl Rothbart, vice president of membership and business development. "An exclusive endorsement can restrict your potential market, while a nonexclusive contract can be hard to restrict," she says. ACA's endorsement contracts are usually for three years.
The National Council for Community Behavioral Healthcare endorses only one product, and it's one the council helped craft: coverage by the Mental Health Risk Retention Group Insurance Trust, which provides professional liability insurance to mental-health practitioners. The trust grew out of a practical need: Mental-health professionals found it difficult to obtain such coverage two decades ago, according to Linda Rosenberg, the council's president and CEO. The trust is a for-profit entity, but dividends are returned to shareholders. Rosenberg's group receives income for marketing the plan.
Though the American Physical Therapy Association has had an endorsement program for more than 10 years, it currently endorses only six products. APTA initiated its program, which is designed as a revenue stream for the association, after it was approached by companies that sought such an endorsement.[Read APTA's Product Endorsement Program application.]
"Our endorsement gives immediate visibility to a product and provides the manufacturer with a catalyst for a marketing campaign," says Janice Ford, associate director of member services, who has been administering the program for more than seven years. She notes that companies display the APTA seal prominently and that some have used earning the seal as a way to get their products into retail outlets.Due diligence in product claims is crucial to maintaining the credibility of the endorsement, Ford says. "We do not accept every product, even though the revenue is important. The product must meet our guidelines, and manufacturers must provide the research evidence to back up their claims."
Companies seeking an APTA endorsement submit an application along with a $750 fee. The product and clinical studies are reviewed first by physical therapists on staff at APTA, then by a three-member committee of the board of directors. Committee members might ask questions of the vendor; once they are fully satisfied, the application goes to the full board for approval.
Reference checks with actual users of the product are conducted, then contract negotiations begin. The entire process takes six to nine months.
APTA's endorsement deals are usually from one to three years, and companies pay an annual fee based on product type and cost, company size, and other factors. Each contract is negotiated individually. Annual fees range from $2,000 to $40,000. The association is fully indemnified in the terms of the contract. Ford reports that no product liability concerns have arisen during her tenure with the program; currently about 10 applications are in the pipeline.
First Steps
If you're considering launching an endorsement program, follow four steps to get started:
1. Research. Do basic research on your members' businesses, suggests Dixie L. Arthur, president of ASAE Business Services, Inc., who has been crafting association endorsement deals for more than 20 years. Surveys and focus groups can help you determine whether there are particular products and services that members want and need. Sometimes, however, she says that you "take a leap of faith" and that some offerings are "just a blatant need in the marketplace."
The research is more anecdotal but no less important at the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. According to Commissioner Karl Stressman, the association's licensing program is part of a corporate sponsorship agreement that allows manufacturers to brand their products as PRCA "official" items, such as jeans and boots.
"The products that we endorse are those that we and our members use every day," says Stressman, who notes that the "official" designation is limited to one product in each category. Although PRCA has no formal written endorsement policy, the terms of the agreement are spelled out in licensing contracts; manufacturers pay for the privilege of using the PRCA logo. [Read PRCA's sponsorship agreement.]
2. Evaluate. Uniqueness of the endorsement offering is key to making it competitive in the marketplace, Arthur advises. Evaluate whether you are able to offer your members benefits that they would not otherwise receive. "Time savings and cost savings are the two greatest benefits," she says, but she adds that "many associations don't drill far enough down into how they can and will market or sell the product."
ADA's Whall also recommends evaluating your reasons for launching an endorsement program, as well as your association's available resources. In ADA's case, all Seal of Acceptance evaluators are volunteers."Your group must have a real commitment to the idea," he says. He also notes that, if endorsements are purely a profit-making venture, their credibility could be compromised.
The Mental Health Risk Retention Group Insurance Trust endorsed by the National Council for Community Behavioral Healthcare is "a strong product that really met a need within our profession," says Rosenberg. "Because our endorsement is valuable, the trust is very responsive to our member needs and makes necessary changes in coverage."
"Make sure that you have sufficient administrative support for the program," says APTA's Ford. "Initial company research, tracking, and follow-up take time; it is not a part-time job," she adds.
3. Contract. Ensure that the proper contract provisions are in place, says Arthur. Request that vendors generate and retain the pertinent information to allow you to see whether members are buying the product or service. "Build that into the agreement from the beginning, and don't be afraid to ask for details," she says, adding that you should build your own contract instead of using one provided by the vendor.
Rothbart advises that you should keep your members' needs foremost in the process. "All agreements should be made to the benefit of the association and its membership," she says. In addition, she recommends having your legal counsel review any contracts, which should clearly spell out how and on which products the manufacturer can use the association's name, logo, and trademark. She also suggests including a clause that grants the association the right to approve any marketing collateral that contains those items.
APTA's endorsement criteria clearly stipulate that the association has "approval right over all marketing copy to ensure accuracy and consistency with APTA policy and credibility." Ford notes that the association also can and does request changes to product-marketing copy and claims due to findings during the review process.
4. Educate. Though associations should not solicit product endorsements, it is appropriate and necessary to publicize the fact that you do have such a program, says Ford. Craft clear and careful guidelines, post them on your website, and educate members about the nature of the program. "We say these products are 'good,' not 'best,'" Ford says.
The ADA website devotes an entire section to the Seal of Acceptance program, which is "frequently held up as exemplary," Whall says. It includes guidelines, a list of products that have earned the seal, and even includes a video tour of the ADA laboratory.
Endorsement programs can provide significant revenue for associations, credibility in the marketplace, and attractive marketing options for manufacturers and service providers. The size, scale, and type of your organization's program will be determined by resources, market potential, and the tax liability your group is willing to undertake. Consult your legal and tax advisers before implementing any new program.

Delegate Terry Kilgore speaks on tobacco money spending
SCOTT COUNTY, Va. - On Monday, the Associated Press released a review on questionable spending by the Virginia Indemnification and Community Revitalization Commission. That organization is more commonly known as the Virginia Tobacco Commission.
Money was given to projects in Scott County that are run by relatives of the commission's chairman, Delegate Terry Kilgore.
That report stated the grants were not illegal, but questionable due to the relationships. Kilgore's father is the President of the Scott County Telephone Cooperative's board, and his brother, John Kilgore Jr., is the director of the Scott County Economic Development Authority. Both received grants from the commission.
The commission provides grants to promote economic development in former tobacco-dependent communities. Virginia State Senator Bill Carrico serves on the 31-member commission. He said the money is split between two regions in the state.
"About 70 percent of those dollars go to southside, about 30 percent of those dollars come to southwest to be utilized for projects," Carrico added.
We researched just how the grant proposal works. Each must go through a three step process before any money is given out. Each member of the commission has one vote equal to the next member, including Chairman Terry Kilgore.
"Terry cannot, as a chairman, make a motion for any projects that go on," Carrico said.
Kilgore says several of the projects in Scott County are a need for that community.
"Scott County Telephone is the only provider of services in Scott County, so if we're going to have broadband in Scott County, we're going to have to work with Scott County Telephone Co-op," Kilgore added.
Kilgore told us those projects, including broadband expansion, helped the area exceed goals set by the state.
Carrico said the projects have to be approved just like any other request.
"Scott County Telephone Co-op that utilized some tobacco grant dollars has done the same that everyone else has done," Carrico said.
Kilgore says the end goal is to create jobs.
"But before you can get those jobs, you've got to have a building, so that's why we invested," Kilgore said.
Executive Director for the Scott County Telephone Cooperative, Bill Franklin, said Kilgore's father is a member of a board, but does not have a leadership role as suggested by the Associated Press.

Whiteladder are you aware a catapult kit exists?
scroll down this link for some stunning pics of it
pausing to droll over the 1/32 catalina too
I had seen that kit, it models the type of catapult used on some of the German Cruisers like the Prinz Eugen. I decided against using this one because I want to set the Arado in a scene with some figures as well and the Bismarck catapult lay out made this easier. Plus half the fun of building it is the research
Slowly getting there - I'm feeling a little rusty at the moment. A few more applications needed to bring the gold up. Still dithering about cloak colours - I'm veering towards green or red/brown (on a wood elf, LF? Gerraway!) with a contrasting lining.

Why not select leaders by lottery?
The democratic experiment didn't work for the Greeks and is failing rapidly in America. Someone once wrote that democracy can't work, because once people get into the pie, they devour it. Witness America today.
It is time to rethink the government of the people, by the people, for the people. It is time for a radical change and approach to that concept.

Beautiful 2 story home in one of the best areas of Bonrepós i Mirambell, within a gated community only comformed by nine houses. This magnificent townhouse will provide everything you need if you are seeking comfort and peace. It also offers great comfort and spaciousness plus the security of living in a privated residential complex, which features great common areas with playground for children where they can play and have fun in a protected environment, while adults enjoy the exclusive comfort of living in an outstanding urbanization in one of the most peaceful towns of the Horta Nord (Northern Orchard) as well as perfectly connected via motorway. The property is accessed through the ground floor, after crossing a beautiful front terrace that leads inside to a cosy living room, very luminous thanks to its large windows. Further back we have a guest toilet and a fully equipped kitchen. On the first floor there is a splendid master bedroom, filled with abundant light from the mediterranean sun in the mornings. It also has a nice external balcony. Next to the room we have the master bathroom, on the other side of the staircase hall there is a huge dressing room or closet with plenty of wardrobes. Next to it,the childrens' or guest room, which also has an internal balcony. Finally, on the second floor, there is a laundry area with a nice interior terrace, and next to it, oriented to the front street, a magnificent and bright room, very similar to the master bedroom. From here on we reach a very comfortable chillout area with views overlooking the park and gardens near the urbanization.
Bonrepós i Mirambell is a village located only a 5-minute drive away from Valencia and six underground stops from the centre of the city. The property's location is exceptional due to its situation in the centre of the town, a few metres from Town Hall, local police, schools, health center, gyms, supermarkets and pharmacy. Certainly a very appropriate place to enjoy the advantages provided by the Horta Nord región (Northern Orchard) such as clean air, quiet neighbourhood, wonderful sunsets and neighbours who have lived in the village since many generations. Finally, a few metres from the house there is a greenway route that cuts across the region all the way north through Puzol, reaching approximately 18kms, ideal for enjoying sports in a unique and natural environment.

The Spandau Diary - what was in it? Why did the secret intelligence agencies of every major power want it? Why was a brave and beautiful woman kidnapped to get it? Why did a chain of deception and violent death lash out across the globe, from survivors of the Nazi past to warriors in this new conflict about to explode? Why did the world's entire history of World War II have to be rewritten as the future hung over a nightmare abyss?
©1994 Greg Iles (P)2010 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
"Incredible Read and Performance"
I really enjoyed this book. Greg Iles can really write and the narrated performance was stunning. It is one of my favorites and I am listening for over 25 books per year.
"Long and complicated"
I got lost in this story more than once. It is convoluted and there are a LOT of characters. That said it was engrossing and the presentation was excellent. It had to be good to get through that many hours of the same story. I still didn't want to leave these people after it was all over. I recommend it.
I love books a lot
"Very good Story!!"
In order to understand this book, you have to read Black Cross. Witch is very good to.
I'd read a few of Greg Iles' Natchez series of books before picking up "Spandau Phoenix" and was not disappointed with the change of subject matter. Iles definitely did his research on the history of the Third Reich and the strange flight of Deputy Fuhrer Rudolf Hess to Britain in 1941. And, while the story here is fictionalized, it offers a version that, while fanciful, fits the evidence on hand to Iles in 1993.
While it may be looked down on by those who believe "great" literature the only type worth reading, if you are looking for a gripping tale of the most horrific and intense periods in all of human history then you this won't disappoint. It's a solid 4-stars and DIck Hill's narration is amazing as usual.
Retired Engineer; living in Bend, OR . I enjoy listening to Audible books while I hike and bike in the great trails here.
"Historical Fiction?"
Very Complex Tale
The confluence of most of the characters, each with different goals, in or near Horn House

"couldn't turn it off."
So thrilling, I couldn't turn it off. I've never been interested in Nazi history before. Now I've got to study up.
Love my Audible time, Never less than 2 hours a day!
"Super Exciting!!!!!"
Suspenseful, thrilling, entertaining
This narrator is one of my favorites! When looking for a new Audible book I often search Dick Hill's name. He adds so much depth to the character while still allowing you to create them in your own mind. Love His work!!!
Yes! From start to finish, I didn't want to turn it off!!!
"couldn't finish"
I usually love Greg Iles books, but I couldn't make myself finish this one. It's not a bad book, but I couldn't get into it.
Fantastic story! I like how he incorporated one of my favorite characters from Black Cross.

NEWS FROM THE AUTO TRADER RAC TOURING CAR CHAMPIONSHIP, 23/8/97 RICKARD RYDELL and James Thompson this afternoon (Saty) proved themselves the fastest men in the Auto Trader RAC Touring Car Championship, on the fastest circuit in the country. In official qualifying for Bank Holiday Monday's twin rounds of the Auto Trader Championship at Thruxton, Rydell and his Volvo S40 and Thompson's Honda Accord shared the pole position honours.
Rydell set his pole time in qualifying for round 19, hustling his Volvo around the Hampshire track in a time of 1m 16.341s, nearly two-tenths of a second inside the official qualifying record. It was the first pole position of the year for the Swede and for Volvo, and the maiden pole for the S40, introduced to racing at the beginning of the season. Thompson ran Rydell close, though, edging out John Bintcliffe's Audi for second on the grid.
In qualifying for round 20, Thompson topped the timesheets -- like Rydell, for the first time in 1997. With Rydell unable to do better than fourth fastest on this occasion, it was left to 1996 champion Frank Biela (a race winner at Thruxton in April) to take the challenge to Thompson.
Said Thompson: "I'm delighted for the team because I have been quick all year without managing to take a pole position. The last time I started from pole position here, I won..."
It was a slightly subdued day for the newly crowned champion, Alain Menu. The 34-year-old Swiss Renault team leader set fourth and third- best times respectively in the two sessions, complaining of a lack of grip. Though Menu already has the drivers' title in the bag, he is still seeking to net the manufacturers' and teams' championship prizes for Renault and Williams.
** The Nissan team today became the first of the BTCC squads to confirm their driver line-ups for the 1998 season, announcing that their '97 pairing of David Leslie and Anthony Reid would be retained for the coming year. Auto Trader RAC Touring Car Championship Official qualifying, Thruxton, 23/8/97 Round 19 1 Rickard Rydell (Swe), Volvo S40, 1m 16.341s, 111.10mph; 2 James Thompson (GB), Honda Accord, 1m 16.762s; 3 John Bintcliffe (GB), Audi A4, 1m 16.811s; 4 Alain Menu (Switz), Renault Laguna, 1m 16.859s; 5 Frank Biela (Ger), Audi A4, 1m 16.944s;

Bombardier to cut 1,400 jobs in Britain
By Paul Sandle
LONDON (Reuters) - Canadian train maker Bombardier is cutting more than 1,400 jobs at its plant in Derby, central England, after losing out to German group Siemens in a competition to upgrade rolling stock on the Thameslink cross-London railway.
Bombardier said it would cut 446 permanent jobs and 983 temporary jobs from its 3,000-strong Derby workforce having missed out on the Thameslink contract and completed much of its current workload, which includes supplying London Underground.
"The culmination and successful delivery of these projects and the loss of the Thameslink contract, which would have secured workload at this site, means it is inevitable that we must adjust capacity in line with economic reality," Francis Paonessa, president of the passenger division for the UK, said in a statement on Tuesday.
"We regret this outcome, but without new orders we cannot maintain the current level of employment and activity at Derby."
Bombardier -- the only remaining train builder in Britain -- said all its contracts, except for cars for some London Underground lines, would be complete by the end of September.
In June, Britain awarded a consortium led by Siemens a contract to build and maintain 1,200 train carriages for London's Thameslink commuter overground rail service as part of a 6 billion pound ($9.6 billion) upgrade of the line, which links Brighton on the south coast to commuter towns north of London.
Bombardier's contract loss was "disappointing" but was unlikely to materially hurt the company's earnings, Canaccord Genuity analyst David Tyerman said. Layoff charges would be minimal because most of those let go were temporary workers, he said .
Bombardier's shares were 1 Canadian cent weaker at C$6.90 on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Tuesday morning. Continued...

- Vegetable oil
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Cajun spice mix
- 6 slices of bacon
- 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 12 small dinner rolls or biscuits, split horizontally
- 1 large half-sour or dill pickle, thinly sliced
- 2 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced
- Twelve 2-inch-square slices of cheddar cheese (about 3 ounces)
Preheat the oven to 350°. Oil a parchment paper—lined baking sheet. Arrange the onion slices on the parchment paper in a single layer and sprinkle all over with the Cajun spice mix. Bake the onion slices for about 30 minutes, until they are slightly dry and browned in spots.
Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, cook the bacon slices over moderate heat until crisp, about 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels and cut into 2-inch pieces.
Season the ground beef with salt and pepper and form it into 12 small hamburger patties. Arrange the dinner rolls on a large baking sheet. Place a pickle slice on the bottom half of each roll, then top with a tomato slice.
Preheat a grill pan or griddle. Brush the patties with oil and cook over high heat, turning once, until browned, about 3 minutes. Set the burgers on the dinner rolls. Top with the cheese, a few onion rings and the bacon. Cover with the buns and bake for 5 minutes for medium-rare meat. Serve right away.

Delivering Reality: To Succeed, Tony Hsieh's Downtown Project Can't Please Everybody | PandoDaily
Ottway Ducard stashed this in Silicon Valley
Stashed in: Vegas, Baby!, @zappos
In San Francisco, we live in the hip but ever-gritty Mission District, where there's frustration aplenty. There are Michellin starred restaurants within walking distance of my house. But I dodge more human feces strolling my baby a few blocks to the park than I've seen in any emerging country I've visited. Weekends are littered with hookers on our corners, because San Francisco is one of the only cities in the Bay Area that won't prosecute sex workers. We clean up used condoms from our sidewalk the next day, and dread having to explain to our child what they are.
Most vexing: There isn't a single decent grocery store in walking distance because of the neighborhoods overly-aggressive anti-chain rules.
Suburban-raised folks love to feel they are living a gritty life, either by moving to areas like the mission, or by walking breaking bad and the wire.
It never cease to amaze me; people actually raised in gritty areas often want nothing more than to leave, whilst many folks raised in placid area want to experience "gritty."

EUR/USD remains under pressure
Tatyana Norkina, FBS analyst
The pair returned to recent levels despite the sharp movements at the end of last week. However, resistance at $1.3650 prevents the bulls from acting with full force: it has been capping the prices here for the past 2 weeks.
Ichimoku indicator. The situation is very ambiguous in terms of the indicator – the lines on the all timeframes are arranged horizontally. But if at H4 the primary downtrend is in place, at H1 the Cloud has become bullish. So, the bears don't have indisputable advantage.
At the same time, at H4 Tenkan and Kijun formed a Dead Cross, which will continue to hamper the pair. In this situation we'd prefer to stay out of the market, as there are no clear signals.
Technical levels: support - $1.3620, $1.3590; resistance - $1.3650.
Trading recommendations:
1. Buy — 1.3620; SL — 1.3600; TP1 — 1.3650; TP2 — 1.3690.
2. Buy — 1.3590; SL — 1.3570; TP1 — 1.3650; TP2 — 1.3690.


text: DALLAS, Dec. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Oncor crews worked around the clock to cut the number of outages down to less than 45,000 across its service territory as of Sunday morning, with the hardest hit area of North Texas having less than 35,000 outages. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120402/DA80968LOGO ) The peak of the storm occurred Friday when 270,000 customers lost power after a major ice storm descended upon Texas. On Saturday, an additional 30,000 outages occurred as subfreezing temperatures prevented thawing and continued to cause ice-laden tree limbs to break and fall into power lines. While many utilities across the southern United States already sent assistance, Oncor requested additional help from its mutual assistance partner utilities to aid in restoration. By Sunday morning, almost 5,000 Oncor employees, contractors and utility workers from other areas in Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Kansas, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida were working in the field. Winter conditions and dangerous roads continue to challenge and greatly hinder restoration efforts, but Oncor officials estimate restoration efforts will be nearly complete by late Sunday night. "We know it's been very difficult for our customers who have been without power as a result of the ice storm and ongoing subfreezing temperatures. We're using all available resources to restore power as quickly as we safely can," Chief Operating Officer Jim Greer said. Public and employee safety continues to be Oncor's No. 1 priority. Greer said that customers should stay away from downed power lines and call 911 if they see a downed line. Oncor's advanced metering system has been a significant asset to the restoration process by proactively communicating customer outages to Oncor as they occur and letting the company know when power at a specific home or business has been restored. To be safe, Oncor customers are still encouraged to report their outages by texting OUT to 66267, visiting mobile-friendly stormcenter.oncor.com or by calling 888.313.4747 to ensure that Oncor is aware of their specific outage.

For the second time in less than a month, a reward has been posted for those responsible for an arson fire that destroyed a home in Athens-Clarke County.

After an intentionally-set fire on Lexington Road Jan. 6 left a woman and her three young sons homeless, the Georgia Arson Control Program is offering a $10,000 reward.
That reward offer comes on the heels of last week's announcement by the Athens-Clarke County Police Department that the local Crime Stoppers program is offering up to $1,000 for information related to the Dec. 12 arson fire that destroyed a recently-renovated house at 705 Jefferson River Road an Atlanta couple were planning to occupy.
The former tin-roof, farm-hand house, where B-52's band member Kate Pierson once lived, is thought by many to be the inspiration for the rock group's hit song "Love Shack."
Allisa Huestis said she and her husband bought the 80-acre property to turn it into a horse farm on which to raise their 10-month-old daughter.
Athens-Clarke Fire Inspector Reginald Hunter said the 4:30 a.m. fire was suspicious because the house was unoccupied, not yet hooked up to utilities - which ruled out an electrical or gas-related accident - and building supplies used for the renovation were stolen. Fires are often set to cover up other crimes, such as theft, he said.
Anyone with information on the "Love Shack" arson is asked to contact Athens-Clarke police Detective David Norris at (706) 353-4218, extension 144. Those who wish to remain anonymous can call the Crime Stoppers Tip Line at (706) 613-3342.
The fire that left Lexington Road resident Brandy Bryant and her children homeless for the second time in less than three months was deemed suspicious by authorities due to undisclosed evidence found at the scene.
Athens-Clarke County Fire Marshal Johnny Pritchett said evidence was sent to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation State Crime Lab in Decatur for analysis.
After the arson was confirmed, the $10,000 reward was announced by the Georgia Arson Control Program, an initiative between state's private insurers and the Georgia Department of Insurance.
Pritchett estimated the fire, which broke out about 7 p.m. while no one was home, caused between $75,000 and $100,000 in damages.
The family lost numerous belongings in the blaze, including new appliances, furniture and clothing Bryant bought or received from family and friends to replace what was lost in a Sept. 29 fire that destroyed her previous home on Arrowhead Drive. Officials deemed that fire accidental, and electrical in nature.
Anyone with information on the Lexington Road fire should call the state arson hotline at 1-800-282-5804.

We couldn't have dressed him better if we'd recruited him as a CycleStyle model.
We spotted Ant rocking some serious cycle chic as he cruised down Collins Street on his black Papillionaire Classic bike.
He's wearing lots of gear that's available from CycleStyle – the Tie Dye Peace Nutcase Helmet, the Banjo Brothers Medium Commuter Waterproof Backpack and in turns out the Wet and Wendy black mens raincoat that he bought from us!
We also like his cuffed trousers and canvas lace-ups for casual yet practical biking style.

Our favourite English claymation characters Wallace and Gromit are in Melbourne for a cracking exhibition at Scienceworks.
If you haven't been to Scienceworks since you were in school, now is the time to go – it's fun for young and old and the exhibition celebrates inventiveness and innovation.
Interspersed with the very cool Wallace and Gromit displays is really interesting information about many Australian inventions such as plastic money, the Victa lawn mower and Melbourne's very own ByK kids bike.
A child's bike is not simply an adult bike made small. Adult bicycles are made with speed and comfort in mind, while for a child ease and stability are more important. So Warren Key redesigned his kids bike with a lower frame (lower centre of gravity), larger wheels and lighter components (easier to push).
It's great to see Australian inventiveness celebrated as part of a world-class touring exhibition!
PS If you want to win tickets to visit the Wallace and Gromit's World of Invention exhibition at Scienceworks, on from 19 May to 11 November, click here.

Nina certainly turned a few heads when she cycled from Thornbury to the Melbourne CBD with her bike garlanded with flowers. Cycle chic indeed!
She has four different bells and hooters on her handlebars as "people are more likely to get out of the way if they think there's four bikes coming instead of just one bike!"
Nina completes her eye-catching ensemble with a suede horse-riding helmet. Not technically Australian standard compliant but very stylish.

Sueshiro Sana is a ninth-generation Japanese shipwright who produces beautifully hand-crafted wooden bikes out of mahogany.
According to Sana, the bike's structure is actually improved by the mahogany – the wood lends flex and responsiveness in a way no metal frame ever could, giving riders an increased sense of control. The bike also weighs only 8kg.
A number of his bikes have actually been raced professionally, through all terrains and weather types. Amazing!

There can come a time in anyone's life where they simply fall short on funds. If you happen to find that you need to have some extra money for unexpected bills or you just need help until your next pay day, you are going to find that Dallas cash advance loans might be the best way to go. You may even be able to get your money in as little as the same business day and you can get the funds deposited right into your bank account via direct deposit.
A cash advance loan is basically a smaller loan that is made by a company on a third party basis that will use your current earnings through wages and your checking account that you are going to be able to repay the loan. Today, there are not only some great options to choose from personal loans for people with bad credit lenders online, but you will also see that there are reputable lenders in and around the Dallas area. All you need to have is proof of your income and a valid checking account that has been in good standing for at least a month's time.
Maybe you have had an unexpected family emergency and you need to have cash to make travel plans. You might have been involved in an accident or your vehicle is in need of repairs that simply cannot wait until your next paycheck. In these cases, Dallas cash advance loans is the perfect way for you to be able to get the money that you need without a lot of the hassle of a conventional loan.
There are a number of advantages that come along with cash advance loans including a short processing time, loan approval without having to give up some sort of collateral and a discreet process so that nobody has to know that you are going through any sort of financial crisis.

I awoke the next morning. It had to be atleast noon. I stared at the ceiling and blinked the sleep out of my eyes.
I lifted John's heavy arm from around my waist and sat up. I stretched and turned to look at him. He was snoring, and we were both still wearing our clothes from the night before. I leaned over him and pushed him slightly. "Mmmmm?" he asked his eyes still closed. "I'm going to talk to Randy okay?" I said getting up from the bed. "Okay, if anything happens.." he trailed off and fell back asleep.
I shut the door quietly behind me and walked the few steps to our hotel room 6 doors down, I heard people talking but didn't look up. And when I finally reached them, I regretted even leaving Johns room.
There stood my boyfriend, and the same blonde from last night, at our hotel room door. She was holding her shoes in her hand. And he was leaning into her. I think I heard a muffled 'had a great time last night..' but my anger was completely blinding all my senses. I hung back and leaned against the wall, neither one of them saw me until she walked away towards the elevator. After Randy turned to smack her ass and then turned back around he saw me standing there in the hallway.
We stood in the center of the hotel room. Randy staring at the floor, me staring holes into him, again wishing he would just burst into flames. "Where were you last night?" he asked not looking up at me.
"I slept in John's room. Because after I saw you dancing with the Brooke Hogan look alike I got pissed and went with him." he nodded. "What you guys do?" I scoffed. "Are you seriously trying to start a conversation with me?"
"What the fuck was that?" he just sat down on the bed. "You know what it was, Lily. Don't make it say it." I looked down at him angrily. "No I want to hear you admit it. Tell me, what was going on here?" He sighed and looked up at me. "I danced with that girl last night, sweet talked her into coming up here and slept with her." I nodded my head.
"Great. Now I know why I didn't want to fucking start this shit in the first place." I said crossing my arms. "How long has this been going on?" I asked. He made a face that I couldn't read. "The entire time. Every hotel, another girl." I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "I fucking told you I love you Randy." I said before beginning to pack my things.
He didn't even try. He didn't even ask me 'do you think we can fix this?' he just watched me pack my things up from his room. I grabbed my suitcase from the floor and turned to look at him. He was still just sitting there. "I never want to see you again." I said as I shut the hotel room door behind me.
I left. I left that day. I went to the airport, booked a flight and flew home. I got everything situated and vowed never to get involved in the WWE ever again. I never wanted to see any of those wrestlers, only if it was John. I felt horrible. For weeks. I cried myself to sleep atleast 3 times a week, and barely ate anything.
But what was going to happen now? When John came home? Our feelings for eachother were coming more and more apparent, through our phone calls and e-mails. But I still had no idea what was going to happen when he came home. Which was tomorrow.
It had been a long day at work. She came into her apartment after working a 12 hour shift, makeup smudges all over her hands and wrists, her own makeup bunching in the corners of her eyes begging to be washed off. She sighed as she threw her keys on the table near the door and walked into the kitchen, where she grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and made her way up the stairs through her dark apartment, she was going straight to bed. Her friend wasn't due home for another few hours.
She pushed open her bedroom door, which was cracked open, a dim light coming through it. She wondered on the way up the steps if she had left a light on. But she was proved correct. She didn't leave a light on, there were lit candles scattered throughout the room. On the dressers, the end table near her bed, on the coffee table. She looked around the room suspiciously, almost afraid.
She whirled around to look through her doorway at John's door. But her line of vision was interrupted, by John standing in the doorway. A smile came across her face, as she looked at him. She was happy to see him again. "What's all this?" she said still smiling. He just stared back at her, her smile slowly dissappearing. He took a few steps forward, towards her. Her heart started pounding.
"I missed you, Lily." he said wrapping his arms around her waist leaning his forehead against hers. Her breath caught in her throat.
"I'm sorry I didn't say goodbye.." she said shyly her eyes on the floor. He pulled her closer to him their hips touching.
"Shhh." he said leaning down capturing her lips in a kiss that they had both been waiting on for so long. His tongue made its way into her mouth and he slowly backed her up towards her bed.
"Are you okay with this?" he asked her his lips still touching hers as he stopped kissing her. She nodded her head staring into his endless blue eyes, speechless.
"Are you going to answer me?" he said his strong hands resting on her thighs, a small smile tugging at his lips.
"Yes, yes. I'm positive we should do this." she said looking up at him. He leaned down and pressed his lips against hers again, their tongues intertwining as he unbuttoned her short-sleeve black shirt she wore to work. He slid it down her shoulders and kissed every inch of skin he left exposed.
She stared up at him, she felt as if her heart was failing. She couldn't breathe, she wasn't sure if she even wanted to. She wished this would last forever, frozen.
He undid the button of her tight fitting black pants, and pulled her to her feet to peel them off of her skinny legs. She picked up each foot getting the pants off from around her ankles. He kissed her inner thigh before getting back into a standing position and kissing her again. He smiled against her lips as she began to push her hands under his t-shirt, feeling his abs. She pulled away from him momentarily to slip it over his head.
He smiled against her skin as she began to unbuckle his belt and unzip his jeans. She dropped then to him ankles and let him step out. Her standing there in her bra and panties, and him in his boxers.
They had been roomates for a long time, he had seen her in her underwear before, but this time it was so much different. All the other times he was telling her how hot she was before she went out on a date, this time she was all his.
He pulled the covers back and picked her up gently placing her on top of them. He crawled on top of her kissing her lips tenderly pulling the blankets over them. It was summertime, and he knew they'd be overheated soon enough but he wanted to be close to her as possible, his body on hers, their body heat.
He held himself up with his forearms on either side of her, she looked so tiny underneath him. He stared lovingly into her eyes as he lowered his face to hers and planted a kiss on her lips and he slowly entered himself into her. He didn't move for a moment, watching her face for any discomfort.
She looked up at him, like an angel. A small smile came across her face as she pulled his face down to hers again to capture his lips in another kiss. He began a wonderful rhythm with her. He leaned down to plant kisses along her collarbone, he knew it was her weak spot. He was already extracting moans and sounds of pleasure from her, but he knew he was going to drive her over the edge soon enough.
She had her legs wrapped around his large hips, at first she didn't even think she'd be able too. He truly was a bigger looking man with his clothes off, rather then on. She ran her hands over his shoulders, across his chest, and brushed her fingers against his sides. She wasn't even sure if anything was coming out of her mouth anymore, she felt as if she were high, in a complete different state. Every problem she had at the moment had dissapeared. Her job that kept her too late, Randy and his cheating, her broken heart, and her best friend who she really did have feelings for but couldn't say it. All of it just melted away from her in that moment, she was truly what she considered happy.
She gasped quickly and mumbled something incoherent to him as she grabbed his shouders hard. His hands were entangled in her short colorful mess of hair, he let her pull him as close to her as possible. "Oh god!" she managed to get out. She had one hand on the back of his neck the other was scraping down his back, he was almost positive she had shed blood. But he didn't care, at that moment everything for him was perfect. After a few minutes they had both finished. He moved to the side of her laying on his back, pulling her on top of him, kissing her forehead.
"I love you, Lily." he said putting his finger under her chin causing her to look up at him, her eyelids looked heavy, her cheeks red. "And I always have." he added before kissing her swollen lips and staring into her eyes.
"I love you too John." she said before they both drifted off to sleep.

ONE of the recipients of the Special Award at the 21st National Convocation, Mohd Firdaus Wasli, expressed his gratitude for the award, saying that the work he put into his studies was worth it.
While doing his two year Diploma in Science he had the opportunity to do a work attachment at the Calibration Centre at the Ministry of Defence where the three months saw him gain a lot of experience.
When preparing for exams, he practised time management which he believes is vital in getting prepared for exams.
Firdaus, who is currently employed temporarily at a private firm, intends to start his career first and then further his studies when the opportunity arises.
Meanwhile, Excellent Student award recipient, 24-year-old Farhana Ismail, noted that her parents supported and motivated her a lot towards her final year and that her instructors were always on hand to provide guidance, motivation and encouragement when she felt in doubt.
Final exams were quite easy she said as instructors ensured that students were well prepared a month before the finals. Instructors continuously gave tests, which helped greatly.
Farhana plans to continue with her studies and pursue her bachelors degree if granted the chance. With regard to her interest in growing organic paddy, she hopes that she can study at a university in Korea, a country with excellent first-hand knowledge on the process.
Nuratiqah Muhd Sadiy, a diploma graduate in plant engineering from Jefri Bolkiah College of Engineering, spent almost three years studying plants and their processes, noting that it was quite challenging as there were plenty of subjects and a heavy assignment load.
She expressed her happiness nonetheless for completing her diploma, adding that the final year was the hardest due to a final year project.
Like most of her peers, she hopes to be able to further her studies at Institut Teknologi Brunei.

Happy Birthday, Doppler! Sounds, Sights, and Software of the Doppler Effect
November 29 is the 205th birthday anniversary of Christian Doppler, the Austrian mathematician and physicist who hypothesized what's now called the Doppler Effect. (You know, that effect when an ambulance or other fast-moving vehicle flies by and the perceived pitch changes.) That calls for Doppler trivia, astrophysics, audio software, and a drink. In celebration, go check out the excellent Wikipedia page on the Doppler Effect, including one of my favorite Physics equations (while I wasn't failing.) And if the idea isn't sinking in, there are plenty of online demonstrations of why this effect occurs. (Science aside, I also recommend celebrating …
Happy Birthday, Leon Theremin!
Leon Theremin would have been 109 today; Theremin World observes the date with a virtual birthday card signing. How will you spend the holiday? I'm thinking a screening of the brilliant Theremin documentary is in order here at CDM HQ. Or I could set off the building fire alarm with 109 candles.
