By Carl HoweToday's New York Times notes that Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) has agreed to share some of the revenues from its upcoming Zune music player sales and services with Universal Music:
Universal Music, a unit of Vivendi, will receive a royalty on the Zune player in exchange for licensing its recordings for Microsoft's new digital music service, the companies said.
Universal, which releases recordings from acts like U2 and Jay-Z, said it would pay half of what it receives on the device to its artists. The company is expected to receive more than $1 for each $250 device, according to executives who were briefed on the pact.
The deal represents a big departure from the standard set by Apple Computer (NASDAQ:AAPL), which pays record companies for songs sold through its iTunes service but does not give them a cut of the sales of its hugely successful iPod.
Under the deal, Universal, the world's largest music corporation, will receive a percentage of both download revenue and digital player sales when the Zune and its related service are introduced next week.
Microsoft's Zune
While this sounds like a simple "we wanted to get a major music label on board deal," it's really an attempt to poison next year's licensing contract renewal between Universal and Apple. After all, Microsoft is unlikely to sell more than two million Zunes in the next six months to a year, so this costs them little. But I estimate that Apple will sell nearly 20 million iPods just this quarter (more about that tomorrow), and hundreds of millions of songs as well. And if Apple has to forfeit a dollar of every $79 iPod shuffle sale to Universal (and presumably to Sony, Warner, and EMI as well), well, that's a nice way to make Apple pay for Microsoft entering this market.
This is classic Microsoft: crafting deals to attack competitors instead of spending the time and energy to positively market the product uniquely and powerfully. The problem: Apple already pays Universal millions of dollars in licensing fees for music it sells, so it has huge leverage with the labels that Microsoft just doesn't have. Unlike Microsoft, Apple is a proven distributor of music, and the digital distribution fees it pays to the record labels is one of the main reasons Universal is still in business. And don't forget, Apple negotiated to buy Universal back in 2003, so it has a pretty good idea of the pressure points to use to get the deal done. I don't rule out Apple negotiating a device/song revenue split, but let's just say that Jobs knows he has invested a lot more in digital music than Universal has, and fully expects to keep most of the profits from creating that market.
We've said it before, and we'll say it again: Zune is just the last in many attempts for Microsoft to buy its way into the music market without doing the hard work of creating a unique and defensible niche. But until they figure out that good marketing is as important as the technology and deals behind the product, Microsoft won't succeed.
One final note to illustrate Zune's limp marketing: what is up with the Zune Web site? Strike one: it's not Zune.com, but Zune.net; a lot of people aren't going to find it easily because of that. Strike two: if you do a Google or a Live.com (Microsoft's own search engine) search for Zune, you don't get Zune.net as a response until way down the page (it's not even on the first page of Live.com's results). Strike three: are those Zune commercials lame or what? Free advice: ditch the puppy dogs; they aren't helping.
A "lame" Zune ad
In the meanwhile over at the Channel9 forums at Microsoft, a reader has posted the 13 things that have put him off the Zune. Most of them are illustrative of the marketing challenge facing Zune: the features and benefits they are announcing are reminiscent of where the iPod was five years ago when it was launched, not where the market is now. For Zune to be successful, it would have be be pretty much at consumer benefit parity with iPods with additional differentiation. The fact that they are launching with a benefit deficit compared with the iPod and promising to reach parity later is the reason we can expect poor consumer acceptance. The consumer value proposition just isn't compelling enough to overcome the consumer downsides of not buying the market-leading product.
David Pogue of the New York Times and Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal also have Zune articles today. Both reach similar conclusions that Zune is a tepid value proposition for different and more technical reasons.

I have an early 2002 E46 330D Touring.
It has brilliant headlights and the self leveling seems to work just fine when ever starting the car and light is dim enough (it has auto lights).
I believe that for the xenon lights to have been fitted from new that the lights should have washers or wipers, mine however does not, but i would think the lights are still fitted from new as the original owner bought every conceivable extra option apart from the sunroof, the car has everything!
My question is, even though the car passed it's MOT, when driving in the dark, the headlights seem to light up a lot of the lane next to the drivers side, but very little kerbside, and don't offer light in front over a very long distance.
If anyone has any ideas i'd love to hear from them

Posting on the Net and Image control
rawn 100000R0P5 Tags:  trust_models community web_2.0 blogging social_computing 2,805 Views
Michelle Conlin's Businessweek article You are what you post,talks about the troubles of growing up in the Net generation. With theadvent of search engines being so "efficient" that it can find any kindof information that is associated with your name, people are startingto find that others including their bosses, potential employers, orclients can find out all kinds of information from your past. Anythingthat you might post online can show up including embarrassing orprivate facts about yourself, even things others might saw about you,whether true or not. How can you possibly know what is harmful to yourcharacter or can be misunderstood by others, tomorrow or even ten yearsfrom now?
This is causing fear and panic amongst individuals, companies and PRagencies worldwide. The idea that you image is always at risk on thenet. In fact, the rule of thumb is usually to always assume that "ifyou post it, they will find it." To some that means, "don't use theInternet". However, the right reaction is not to stick your head in thesand and assume that it will simply go away. It is to be proactive.
Michelle actually points out an important fact that is missed by many:there are two "yous", the physical real-world you, and the online imageof you (or what others learn about you from info online). Because yourphysical person is always with you (duh!) it's usually possible to knowwhat's happening around it. However, it usually not possible to knoweverything going on around the online you. The Businessweek articlepoints to five ways to manage your online doppelganger, which aredefinitely helpful hints.
My thought on this line however, is that companies and people may eventually realize that the online you isjust as important as person to maintain. The best way to do this is tohave an online tool to keep track of that you and what happens. What'smore, it becomes the basis of how others can communicate with theonline you. It's not only nice to have that tool but imperative, if youwant to have a proactive say around what the "online you" really does.Otherwise, you are at risk of leaving it in the hands of what anyoneelse may say about you.
In terms of philosophy (in the classical Greek sense), this is mind-bending in terms of what that persona is becoming: all that is online you is what others see around you. You don't have strict control of it, but you can contribute to it.
Aside from a tool, the other idea this points to is that it's unlikelya single individual will be able to know what the best ways ofpresenting themselves is. It's a brand new online world, and most ofthe social rules are still being figured out. The best way is to havesomeone who watches and understands the behavior across the net toprovide advice on how to use the tools according to the properfunction, and more so, in the most effective manner. In the physicalworld, these people are often called image consultants, PR agencies,etc., although that's really the extreme end of a business that isgeared specifically to your own needs.
Another way to look at this is in terms of getting people to understandor even share your views. If you're interesting enough, you might evengain a fan club of your own (the goal of many bloggers). Yourreputation helps build an implicit or even an explicit community aroundwhat you are or what you're doing. I, for one, don't believe anyone cantruly force others to agree with them wholeheartedly; therefore toconvince others on your view, you need to be persuasive and use theright tools and right means of persuasion. Thus, you should take a lookat this from the perspective of how to develop this community aroundyou.
The root of all this is your reputation online and how others see it.Take charge of your online reputation because, whether you like it ornot, it has or eventually will have a direct impact on your future.
In summary, the online you is already being "created" on the Web bywhat you and what others post about you online. You should considertaking an active part of owning and operating this "online you", andhandle this from the perspective of trying to build a community aroundyou.

window return in concrete block house
I'm renovating a concrete block house and the walls have been stripped of the old plaster. The window returns are pretty coarse and rough - not smoothe at all. I'm trying to figure out how best to finish the window returns so that they are smoothe. Complicating things is that the existing aluminum windows have a very narrow frame (maybe 1/2") so any solution has to take this into account. If I nail a furring strip to the inside of the return and fasten 1/2" drywall to that it will completely cover the window frame.
I have no experience with plaster so I'm leary of trying to re-plaster the window returns back to the way they were. I thought about glueing green board to the block but I know there needs to be an air space between the two materials.
What's the best material to use to smoothe out and finish the returns? It must be able to stick to concrete block
Drywall compound is fairly easy to work with and sticks to about any thing.
someone told me that because of the moisure that might be present in the block that drywall compound wouldn't be a good idea.

The Original Monster Truck
By Noel Black On October 25, 2010 · 5 Comments · In A Big Something, Adventures, Film, Geography, Local History, Outdoors and Nature, Pikes Peak, Videos
This 1957 Chevy truck commercial was shot by Alexander Film Company on the declivities of Pikes Peak. At first it seems that this might be nothing more than a routine drive up the Pikes Peak Highway in an attempt to impress the less savvy of their would-be customers with the dramatic backdrops offered by Pikes Peak. But then they actually drive the truck up… well, not straight, but pretty darn straight up at least a part of the mountain. The fact that it's presented as a kind of mountaineering first ascent film (the drivers wear matching khakis, blue sweatshirts and, eventually, helmets as they bounce across the boulder fields above timberline) with timpanies to punctuate the narrator's hyperbole, makes it as cheeky as you'd expect from a piece of this vintage. And of course, anyone familiar with the topography of the area will question the route of their ascent, but much of it is still impressive even by today's standards. We're sure the Forest Service thanks you in advance for not attempting to repeat it!
Surely the greatest line ever about Pikes Peak: "The most famous mountain in America thunders its defiance."! Then of course there's "Straight into virgin timberland into chassis-battering terrain." And then there's: "How many nuggets would a Sourdough have offered for one of these trucks?"
What we wouldn't give to bang out copy writers for Alexander Film Company!
Thanks again to the Pikes Peak Library District for posting this to YouTube and thanks to Big Something reader Keith B. for bringing it to our attention.

A career in dance
Interview with Warren Bonello, professional dancer

Watch and hear how Warren works hard to excel in his field.

I was getting the shifting slam also, felt like I hit a pothole and got hit from behind at the same time. The first time the car went in, they changed out the transmission sleave which was causing a fluid leak. Fixing the leak seems to have fixed the slam, but not the hiccups. I told the SA about this thread and the mechatronics issue but he so far is hesitant to ask BMW to authorize that repair and replacement. The car is under CPO so BMW will have to eat the cost - probably why they don't want to replace the part. We'll see what they come back with this time, software refresh or something else. If they can't get this fixed, I'm dumping it when CPO is up and finding a CPO 550i with a stick.
You're describing exactly what happened to me. I had a cracked tranny pan that was replaced and had them do the sleeve too. I also had them change the fluid while they had the pan out - this isn't called for in their procedures. At first, my tech thought maybe some of the pins in the sleeve weren't aligned and went in and checked / reset the apaptation values but didn't help.
It started out randomly here and there right after the pan / sleeve replacement, then developed into all the time 20-30 seconds, then repeatedly all the time 10 seconds apart. It was frustrating because the tech drove it for days (lives right near me) and he couldn't get it to do it. I even rode with him and it still wouldn't do it. The damn car knew he was in it! One day the car almost locked up the rear from the "hiccups". I brought it right in (3rd time in shop) and said look I can't drive this anymore as I'm worried the rear's going to fall out. They opened PUMA case and good-willed the part with labor by me. I can PM you costs if you want.

A large sign advertising Steel City Hockey at Fruitland and South Service roads might have caught commuters eyes recently.

The Stoney Creek News has learned the hockey development organization will be the main tenant at a privately-owned hockey arena expected to be built next year.

Debbie Spence, communications officer with the city's planning and economic development department, confirmed that the city has started working with the "proponent" of this project and begun the formal consultation process.

"We have not yet received a site plan application and we expect that the use will be allowed," she said in an e-mail.

"In the new year, we will be moving forward with an amendment that will allow this privately-owned and operated arena use on this property."

Spence said she would not have any specific timelines until the new year.

Dan Caco, owner of Steel City Hockey, is hoping the arena is ready by next fall.

His organization has been running programs out of the Mohawk 4-Ice Centre, Hamilton Double Rinks and Copps Coliseum, as well as in Burlington and Niagara Falls.

He is looking forward to having a more permanent home. Caco said the arena will feature a gym, restaurant and bar and could have four rinks.

The News could not confirm the owner of the property by press deadline.

BCCI top brass, including secretary Niranjan Shah, met visiting ICC Chief Executive Malcolm Speed here yesterday to finalise the Venue Agreement and demanded a hike in the budget.
Talking to reporters last night, Mr Shah, however, refused to call it a ''serious problem'' and said a solution would be out soon.
''We met for the Venue Agreement and told them that we need a hike in the budget. Among the four venues, only Mohali has world-class facilities. The Cricket Club of India Stadium in Mumbai is not of the same class, while the stadium in Jaipur also needs facelifts. And then there is Ahmedabad. After all, you are hosting a tournament of such a huge magnitude. For these upgradation works, you need more money and we have conveyed that to ICC,'' he informed.
''And we have also reminded the ICC that this time we are hosting 40 per cent more matches, compared to the 2002 event in England. ICC has to recognise that,'' he argued.
''This is an ICC event and they would be running the show. Our job is just to arrange the matches in the best possible manner and for that we need more money,'' he added.
He, however, played down the incident as a ''mere difference of opinion'' and said, ''This is nothing serious. We are in constant touch with them and they have their representatives in India too. I think we'll settle the issue in the next 10-12 days.''

Re: WWE: Turning The Corner
Opening Segment:
I thought this was a very good way to start of the show and I'm a big fan of Burke, Cor Von and MVP and Cor Von throwing the camera man for no reason just tied in with his character and was a nice touch. I also liked how MVP put over the group saying Burke would beat Flair and take him to school and that he would beat Undertaker and Kane with the World Heavyweight Champion, his guest, Edge. It was all very, very cocky but brilliant the way it was wrote. Edge was being in-character saying that he would beat Undertaker which again is very cocky but ties brilliantly in with his character and I liked the whole "Rated R Era" thing.
Matt Hardy Interview:
I was glad you had an interview to follow-up on the whole thing, it just made sense and Matt was very in character and the way you wrote it was very appropriate. I mean who wouldn't be angry if their career was nearly ended and who wouldn't want revenge? And Matt hinting at the match at Survivor Series was a nice little touch. And I like the way you wrote the US Title into play, saying that's what made MVP tick, it was all very good.
Kidman\Yang Vs UKConnection:
I am glad you are using Drew McIntyre in your BTB because well, he's Scottish
so I fully agree with him being in here lol. I also like that he is paired with Burchill and Regal and Regal is just like their mentor and I'm glad they are getting a push and it was a reasonable win. I expected some sort of squash but Yang/Kidman put up a heck of a fight and the finish to this match was great with the C-4 off of the top rope, it would be spectacular if done in real life.
Batista/Cole segment:
As Jamie I believe said earlier it's quite original and isn't seen often, an interview in the superstars home that is. I thought it was very well-conducted and the lead-in to it was great too. It wasn't just thrown onto us you had a lead-in and had everything build up really well to the climax where Batista clocked Cole in the eye and you touched on this segment earlier when Cole didn't want to talk about it which was a brilliant idea. Then Cole back-tracking, I mean I guess Cole could stick his foot in his mouth but asking for an answer first, I don't see it though but it could happen. Great Little Segment.
Playas Club/Funaki/Shannon:
I'm mixed on this segment, although it gives the impression that the Playas Club are the rulers as it where on SmackDown! and can do whatever they want, which is good I'm not sure about them just attacking Moore and Funaki for no reason but then again Cor Von did it to the cameraman and I thought it was good. I guess it builds up The Playas Club as real badasses as was said before and I actually quite like that.
Chavo Guerrero/Chuck Palumbo:
This match was a good write-up and it really got Chavo over and the cheating was a nice touch again. The turnbuckle being exposed did make it seem like Chavo was going to cheat but the fact you see that he is going to do it first and manages to follow-up with it again just adds to the match as a whole.
Ric Flair Interview:
Very good segment here, Flair was in-character and I'm glad you are having him go to Washington next week, good idea there. And I am really intrigued as to what will happen in the nation's capital.
I thought this was quite original for Taker's mind-games and then I was surprised that he actually hit MVP, I was expecting him to realise and stop just short but it adds a whole new dimension to the storyline.
Tag Team Match:
Dykstra and Masters are a pair I wouldn't put as a team but you seem to be making it work. Sabu and Dreamer would make a great team and it was a decent match, I expected Dykstra and Masters but you surprised me when Dreamer and Sabu won and I'm all for surprises in wrestling matches.
I wouldn't expect MVP to just blow off Edge like that but I liked how Edge was cunning and whispered a total lie into MVP's ear which MVP took very seriously. The basis of the segment was very good and well-written.
Elijah Burke v Ric Flair:
Great Match, really, simply, great. Burke the up and coming learner against the legendary Ric Flair and getting the win would really help the push you have going with him, I liked how Finlay got involved and it almost turned into absolutely chaos at the end, I liked the craziness that the aftermath of this match provided.
Both were VERY in-character, Edge trying to get out of it is just something he would do and Long shooting it down is very in-character. I liked this and the Main Event is shaping up to be brilliant.
Jamie Noble v Kid Kash:
I was surprised with the choices to have in the Best of Series but I'm glad you are putting Noble and Kash in a feud like this and I expected Noble to get the win after going 2-0 down but it was still a very, very good match and the competition gets closer now
Edge/Taker and Kane:
I was very surprised by the ending of this match, I expected Kane and The Undertaker to win this match and pretty quickly and I loved how Edge got the roll-up victory and it wasn't just a clean 123 pinfall if that makes sense. The beating of Taker' afterwards was remminicent of when he did it to The Undertaker in WWE in the run-up to Mania' but it was all good.
Other Points:
Another great show, the first I've reviewed and I will begin reviewing more consistantly. Well Done

Good neighbors are blessing. Smile and chat with them, and exchange news.
Sometimes, however, neighbors could bother you, and you want to do something about it. It's not easy to talk to them when you have complaints. You want to keep good relationship with your neighbors, but at the same time, you want them to be considerate for other people.
Today's dialogue is one of those common cases of neighbor trouble. This situation might occur if you are here in the U.S. as a college student, especially during the final exam period.
Listen carefully to the dialogue, and answer the following questions.
(1) What is the main complaint of the female speaker?
(2) Who is her neighbor and what is the neighbor doing?
(3) What time of the day does this dialogue takes place?
(4) Where can she find a better place for her during this time period?
(5) Pick the most important word in the dialogue that solved the problem.
Click the next word AUDIO, to listen to the dialogue. As usual, please try to write the script. In the repetition part, please be sure to speak aloud to train your tongue. This is Dr. Han's method of improving speaking skills in English as a second or foreign language.
I'll be back soon with a new dialogue.

I have a 17 week old beagle/lab cross called Ruby. She got her Rabies shot last Monday, and on Thursday she had a lump about the size of the top joint of my finger on her rear leg, at or very close to the shot site. I decided to see what it did over a couple of days, as I thought it could be swelling from the shot. It felt smooth and didn't obviously show through her coat, but now it is very obvious and feels harder, although it doesn't feel any bigger. It seems to have changed from low and smooth to high, narrow and hard, without changing mass, if that makes sense...
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with that kind of reaction to the rabies shot, or if it might be possible that the timing is a coincidence and it is nothing to do with the shot. I am calling the vet first thing tomorrow (Monday, a week after the shot), but they are very busy and may not be able to fit me in for a few days.

UPDATE: The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has released a statement on the current situation in Bangkok and offers advice for travellers in the region
The Tourism Authority of Thailand issued an update on the current situation in Bangkok earlier today (3 December) at 14.30 local time. The statement opened with the following information: "The ongoing anti-government protests in Bangkok, which had been normal to peaceful for 32 days since 30 October 2013 and had turned volatile during 1-2 December 2013, has eased as of this morning. Clashes between police and protesters at Pol 1 intersection, Chamai Maruchet Bridge, Orathai Bridge and Karn Ruan intersection near the parliament has stopped as of this morning. Friendly scenes are reported at the Metropolitan Police Bureau as police and protesters shake hands and exchange flowers.
"For tourists visiting the kingdom, it should be stressed that the four volatile sites are within a small quarter of Bangkok. No tourists are hurt or affected by the situations. Also, it should be stressed that tourists have not been targeted in the ongoing political protests."
TAT goes on to suggest that, although the situation is currently peaceful, travellers should still avoid protest areas (Government House and the Parliament and the Metropolitan Police Bureau, as well as Government Complex on Chaengwattana Road) and large crowds. The authority also warns there may be road closures around these areas. Suvarnabhumi Airport has advised air travellers of possible heavy road traffic and a lack of taxis resulting from the protests in Bangkok.
The TAT's statement goes on to say: "It's business as usual in Thailand. Albeit the volatile political situations in Bangkok, life in the Thai capital and all other areas of Thailand continues as per normal. Tourist attractions and activities as well as businesses in Bangkok and other provinces are open and operating as usual."
TAT have also warned of potential protests in other large cities around the country. However, they add that while there may be demonstrations, these will likely take part near administration halls, located in 'official designated areas' and are 'not where tourists usually go to'.
The British FCO last updated their travel advice on 30 November. While there are no travel restrictions in place, they advise all visitors to the capital city to remain vigilant and avoid all crowds and demonstrations. Currently, 34 countries worldwide have issued travel warnings to its residents who plan on visiting Thailand.
Travellers to Thailand have been warned to exercise caution in the country's capital, Bangkok, which has been rocked by a new wave of political protests
In a statement on their website, the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office warned travellers to avoid the protests, which are being led by demonstrators calling for Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and her government to step down.
The protests reportedly centre around Ratchadamnoen Avenue in central Bangkok but, according to the FCO, have the potential to spring up "with little warning" in various locations throughout the city. Earlier today, the offices of the finance ministry were seized by demonstrators who have threatened to take control of other government buildings.
Thai authorities have condemned the protests as "illegal" and have responded by implementing the Internal Security Act in all districts of the city. The act involves an increased security presence and allows authorities to impose curfews and seal roads.
The recent demonstrations, which involved an estimated 100,000 people taking to the streets on Sunday, are the largest the country has seen since 2010, when 90 civilians were killed.
They have been sparked by a proposed bill which would have allowed ousted Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra to return to the country without serving a prison sentence for charges of corruption. Mr Thaksin, the brother of the incumbent Ms Yingluck, is currently in exile and disputes the charges which led to his fall in 2006. The bill failed to pass through Thailand's senate but has, nevertheless, reignited political divisions within the country.
For up-to-date advice on the situation, consult the FCO website.

In this new edition.
1. Old Chinese spelling system has been replaced by the new academic Pinyin system.
2. Chinese characters are included in the text.
3. New information has been added whenever it will help the reader.
4. Old techniques have been modified according to the author's current understanding.
5. New photographs to improve the angle of the techniques and overall layout.
The ability to control an opponent through Chin Na is one of the highest measures of martial skill.
Teach yourself with this book, even if youŐve never studied martial arts before.
50 Chin Na techniques photographed and explained!
Improve your skills with the many training methods, attacks, and counterattack techniques detailed in this book.
Increase your fighting options! Chin Na is easily integrated with any martial style.
Heal training injuries with section on Chin Na first aid, including herbal remedies.
Go beyond joint locks with vein and artery sealing, dividing the muscles/tendons, and misplacing the bone.
Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming
is a world-renowned author and teacher of Gong Fu (Kung Fu), Taijiquan (Tai Chi Chuan) and Chin Na and a leading authority on Qigong (Chi Kung). Involved in Chinese Kung Fu since 1961, he has over 50

Randolph Earns Pair of Weekly Honors
Feb. 17, 2014
CINCINNATI – University of Cincinnati women's basketball senior forward Jeanise Randolph (Chicago, Ill./Thornton Fractional North) has been named both American Athletic Conference and College Sports Madness Player of the Week as announced Monday afternoon.
It marks the second time this season Randolph has been the winner of both awards in the same week. Randolph was previously honored on Dec. 16 after her performance during a 64-49 win over Ohio State.
Randolph helped the Bearcats earn back-to-back conference wins over Memphis and Temple for the first time since last season when UC picked up wins over Providence (Feb. 23) and Rutgers (Mar. 2).
For the week Randolph paced a double-double, averaging 18.5 points and 10 rebounds. The senior shot 61.5 percent (16-26) from the floor and 83.3 percent (5-6) from the free throw line. She also collected four steals and swatted five shots.
During a 65-49 win over Memphis, Randolph surged in the second half with 19 points on 8-of-10 shooting. Seven of her 11 rebounds also came in the final 20 minutes as she picked up her ninth double-double of the year.
Randolph narrowly missed another double-double during a 55-53 road win over Temple, finishing with 14 points and nine rebounds. Shooting 7-of-11 from the field, Randolph also collected two steals and four blocks while playing all 40 minutes.
The Bearcats will look to make it three straight on Wednesday when they host USF inside Fifth Third Arena. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. and the game will be available on ESPN3.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/12/2012 (1651 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The 2013 budget has now been tabled with city council and their administration held a public meeting on Dec. 12 to give the citizens of Brandon a brief overview of this planning document.
I attended that meeting and we were provided with some valuable information in helping us determine what's in it and how it will impact us. While the proposed tax increase of two per cent does not seem terribly unreasonable, some of the detail and indeed, some omissions cause concern.
At the meeting I had asked for an explanation of the 11.6 per cent increase in police salaries and got what I believed to be a partial answer. A followup meeting with the city manager and two senior directors provided additional detail. After factoring out the additional staff to be hired and the non-salary costs such as a hike in pension premiums, more than half of the total increase is an increase to the existing staff's pay packages in either annual increments, possible negotiated wage increases or shift premiums charges.
Apparently, when the two per cent wage increase for this group was approved last year in January, the city committed to a more substantial increase for 2013 to bring the police service members more in line with several "comparable" Alberta and Saskatchewan cities. I do not believe this commitment was ever mentioned when the 2012 labour deal went to city council.
Rich labour deals are appearing with some regularity with this council and administration. The significant management increases of 2011 helped to drive the 2012 budget to percentage increase levels not seen in decades and that coupled with in excess of 20 new positions over the last two years added to our tax burden. While the city manager talked about labour cost mitigation strategies at the meeting, the actions of the city seem to be in the opposite direction. More staff and paying wage levels that exist in two booming provinces don't sound like mitigation strategies to me.
Several large items are not included in the proposed two per cent property tax increase and if simply added will drive the budget up substantially. The recent approval of more than $1 million for the Keystone Centre is not in the two per cent nor is the Keystone request made informally at the budget meeting. The former Convergys building renovations for administration offices and/or a youth centre are not included as well. I also do not believe the balance of the work to demolish and clean up the Ninth Street and Princess Avenue site is included.
City council will be meeting on Jan. 11 and 12 to debate the 2013 budget. Last year's reconsideration of the proposed excessive 2012 budget simply reduced the tax increase suffered by the vast majority of residential property owners from plus or minus 20 per cent to plus or minus 10 per cent. Given the fact inflation has been less than two per cent each of the past two years, it would seem any increase in 2013 would be too much.
I would encourage all taxpayers to contact their councillor now to insist on two things. First, they must end the unaffordable practice of negotiating and/or approving wage increases for any group at double, triple and even quadruple what inflation is. If we are going to contemplate using other cities to compare with, we should consider not only the employee pay rates but also the incomes of the people who have to pay the funding taxes.
Secondly, tell your councillor that any add-ons to the proposed 2013 budget (the ones mentioned above or any other) should be funded by at least an equal reduction of other expenses. You need to contact them now — before they sit to debate the budget. We want them to get the message early so we don't have a repeat of last year.
Best wishes to all Brandonites in the holiday season.

Economists Discover the Poor Behave Differently From the Rich
In a speech in Frankfurt in October, Peter Praet, a member of the executive board of the European Central Bank, told a conference of economists something curiously obvious. "Individual households are heterogeneous in many respects," he said. "It is important to measure and analyze this heterogeneity because it can have important implications for aggregate figures." People are different, he meant, and we need to understand how to understand the economy.
Praet had to state the obvious because until this year economists, in particular those who make forecasts, put their faith in models that ignored those differences. Those that the ECB and the International Monetary Fund used to predict the future relied on a "representative agent," a single imaginary person who stands in for everyone.
The problem was that these models failed to predict the consequences of the austerity programs that several European countries adopted in 2010. It turned out that actual people didn't behave like the imaginary proxy. Economists are learning that the poor and the wealthy respond differently to austerity and stimulus. This could present challenges to politicians. If people behave differently, then policy might have to treat them differently.
Attempts to divine—or calculate—how fiscal decisions affect the economy rest on the "marginal propensity to consume," the likelihood that if you put a dollar in someone's hand, he will spend rather than save it. Economic disagreements about stimulus are basically arguments over that question. The argument splits along the lines of an ancient tension in the profession—should an economist observe human behavior, or assume it?
The representative-agent models used by central banks and the IMF came out of a movement among economists in the 1970s and '80s who assumed that people were rational and planned for the future. For example, Olivier Blanchard, now chief economist of the IMF, wrote in 1990 that when a government tightens its belt to reduce deficits, households might start spending, relieved that the problem is being handled and there won't be an even bigger readjustment in the future.
If models could assume that everyone was the same rational person, there was no need for data on how people act. And conveniently, relying on a single person made the math behind the modeling easier.
Per Krusell, who now teaches at Stockholm University, was a brand-new Ph.D. in the early 1990s when he began work on a macroeconomic model that assumed more than one agent recognizing that people are different. He and Tony Smith, another new Ph.D., had a hunch that with enough computing power they could build a multiple-agent model. "If we had presented those ideas to our senior colleagues, they would have said, 'No, go try something else,' " says Krusell. The resulting model won positions for Krusell at Princeton and Smith at Yale.
Still, their paper languished for more than a decade, basic research without a practical application. "We had a model that had something to say about propensities to save being different," says Krusell. "Now the question [was], 'How big are the differences?' "
There wasn't much reason to find out. Representative-agent models had fairly accurate predictive power until the financial crisis and its aftermath. In January 2013, Blanchard and Daniel Leigh published a working paper for the IMF that was in essence a confession. When the fund forecast growth rates for various countries in 2010, it made mistakes, as did the European Commission. "Consumption may have depended more on current than on future income," they wrote. The rational agent was supposed to plan for the future, confident that deficits were going down. Actual people did not. An IMF report in May looked back at the fund's program in Greece, where real gross domestic product declined more than three times as much as predicted. The IMF's mathematical assumptions about behavior had been wrong, the report conceded.
The challenges the world faced in 2010—low home values, credit hard to get, central banks unable or unlikely to lower interest rates further—"were nonexistent in representative-agent models," says Christopher Carroll, who teaches at Johns Hopkins. At the ECB's Frankfurt conference, Carroll presented a paper that bolstered Krusell and Smith's model with microeconomic data. For Carroll, people differ in one crucial way. "The marginal propensity to consume," according to the paper, "is substantially larger for low-wealth than for high-wealth households." Rich people behave like the hyperrational agent. They plan for the future. They save during a stimulus, thinking about the taxes to come. And they can borrow during a fiscal contraction.
Poor people are what economists call "borrowing constrained." They tend to have more needs than are being met, so when money arrives, they spend it. When the government stops spending and credit is hard to come by, the mythical everyman, like the rich person, continues to spend. But most real people don't have access to credit, and they hunker down. Carroll's findings have been confirmed by other academics in the last two years who looked at Italian and U.S. data.
Krusell reports a sudden interest in his 15-year-old model. He's been asked to give a speech at a meeting next year of European central bankers looking for a better way to diagnose the continent's problems. "You get a much bigger kick," says Krusell, "when you realize it could be important for current policy."
The bottom line: Economists realize they erred when they assumed all people behave the same way. That could lead to public policy changes.

My dermatologist told me that since I have both, deep and shallow scars, he will have to carry out both Dermabrasion and Microdermabrasion. What do you have to say about that?
He also said that Fraxel laser treatment doesn't give permanent (mind you not complete removal) removal of scars. He said that you have to keep getting it every 6 months whereas I've heard that it gives permanent change. What about that?
Thanks : )

NFL Draft > 2008 Prospects > DT > Sedrick Ellis
Sedrick Ellis Scouting Report
|USC Trojans
|Jersey Number:
|Height & Weight:
|6'2 - 305 lbs.
2008 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Sedrick Ellis, DT, USC
Ellis is a classic one gap defensive tackle that can thrive if put in the right scheme. He penetrates well and has elite closing speed for a defensive tackle. Ellis has experience as a nose tackle, but does not do well in a two gap defensive scheme and will not likely play there as a pro. Ellis uses his long arms and hands well to disengage from blockers and does a great job of batting down passes -- he has deflected 7 passes in 2007. Ellis is a disruptive force against the run when allowed to penetrate and create pressure in the backfield. Ellis finished the 2007 season with 58 tackles, 12.5 of them for a loss, and 8.5 sacks. There is some concern due to Ellis' relative lack of height at just under 6'1" and his durability, as he has had injuries throughout his career at Southern California. Ellis had a great game in the Rose Bowl against a good Illinois offensive line and continues to solidify his draft status. According to all sources, Ellis has been absolutely dominant force in Senior Bowl practices (a tool which many NFL coaches use to evaluate prospects). Ellis impressed at USC's pro-day on April 2nd. He ran a 5.0 forty yard dash and looked incredible in the drills he was put through. Ellis bench pressed 225 pounds 34 times, seven more than Glenn Dorsey of LSU. Ellis will be picked in the top 15 and will not likely slip past the Bengals at the number 9 pick.

text: EastEnders spoilers: Nick Cotton is back from the dead as John Altman returns to the soap Dot's errant son turns out not to have met his maker after all Comments Written By David Brown 12:01 AM, 02 August 2014 Nick Cotton is alive and kicking and he is on his way back to Walford to cause trouble for his long suffering Ma. Viewers have been questioning the whereabouts of Nick since his son, Charlie (Declan Bennett), arrived in Albert Square and delivered the news that Nick was dead. However, things didn't quite add up leading to lots of speculation as to whether Nick is really dead or not. In Monday's episode, viewers learned that Nick was alive when Carol answered Charlie's phone and immediately recognised Nick's sinister voice. However, what Carol and everyone else will want to know is why did Charlie fake Nick's death and what is in store for Dot (June Brown) when he returns? Nick Cotton appeared in the very first episode of EastEnders and has been involved in some of EastEnders most notable moments. He put his mother through hell as he battled his addiction with heroin; he has got away with murder and he even tried to take Dot's life by poisoning her but at the final moment he changed his mind. These were only the tip of the iceberg alongside Nick's numerous other misdemeanours. John Altman will be reprising his role of Nick Cotton. Speaking of returning to EastEnders, Altman said: "After a five-year break I'm very pleased and much looking forward to returning to EastEnders. With the promise of some hard hitting and gritty storylines I'm sure the residents of Albert Square will be none too pleased to see Nick Cotton back on the streets of Walford. "I'm also looking forward to working alongside Declan Bennett and Pauline McLynn. And of course being reunited and working once again with my 'dear old Ma', the wonderful June Brown. " Dominic Treadwell-Collins, executive producer added: "As we approach EastEnders's 30th anniversary, it's only fitting that our original bad boy – and soap's most iconic villain – returns to Albert Square to cause more trouble for his Ma. "It's time for the indomitable June Brown to have the Nick story to end all Nick stories – and with Declan and Pauline in the mix too, it's going to be an exciting bumpy ride as the Cottons begin to unravel…" Like this?
