IceCaps pushed back by Penguins Posted by IceCaps on
Game Summary | Box Score | Highlights
By Chris Doyle
Communications Coordinator
The St. John's IceCaps fell 3-1 to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference Semifinal series Wednesday night at Mile One Centre. With the win, the Penguins evened the best-of-seven series at one game apiece.
The IceCaps had trouble containing a Penguins club eager to get into the win column before heading back home. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton outshot St. John's 38-23 and controlled the game from start to finish. With the Penguins shorthanded, Joey Mormina notched the game-winning goal early in the third, while Justin Williams provided the insurance marker on a power play just minutes later. Brad Thiessen was sharp when tested, stopping 22-of-23 shots.
"We knew they were going to come out with a better game than they had (Tuesday) night," head coach Keith McCambridge said after the contest. "I thought they came out with the intensity we thought they would and I thought we didn't have much push back. I thought they out-battled us for loose pucks. They're big and strong and the physical side of the game, they won that side."
For the IceCaps, Eddie Pasquale was brilliant again, keeping the home team in it for most of the game despite being outplayed. Pasquale made 35 saves in just his second defeat of the postseason.
The visitors struck first for the second straight game on a scramble in front of Pasquale. Eric Tangradi found the bouncing puck and whacked in his second of the playoffs to give the Penguins a 1-0 lead at the 9:48 mark of the first.
St. John's tied it at one at 15:42 of the first on a power play tally by Ben Maxwell. Brock Trotter gained the Penguins zone and dropped a pass to Derek Meech, who fired a shot at the net that caromed off Maxwell's leg and past Thiessen to make it 1-1.
The score stayed tied through two periods, but the Penguins controlled the play for most of the first two frames, outshooting the IceCaps 28-11 after 40 minutes.
The visitors grabbed the momentum early in the third and snatched the energy out of the building with a shorthanded goal at 2:38 after the IceCaps had trouble advancing the puck out of their own zone. O'Reilly took the puck at the side boards and fed a pinching Mormina, who beat Pasquale from the left side for the go-ahead goal.
Then, after a Patrice Cormier hooking penalty put the club down a man, the Penguins capitalized on the power play to pull ahead by two. O'Reilly put the puck on a tee for Jason Williams at the point and the Penguins' leading playoff scorer blew a slap shot past Pasquale for a 3-1 lead.
The IceCaps attempted a rally late on a power play but could not pull the trigger. With the net empty for the extra attacker, St. John's maintained pressure on the six-on-four but could not get a quality shot on goal. For the game, the IceCaps went just one-for-seven with the man advantage and are now just five-of-29 in the postseason.
The game was the polar opposite of Tuesday night's contest, a fact not lost on anybody. Coach McCambridge said
"What's shocking, a surprise on our side, is that after you see that all season long with where we're located, St. John's, and to still come out without enough intensity that you need. But that's the nature of the beast, and that's the nature of having back-to-back games in the American League. You know the other team is going to come out with motive and energy, and you have to make sure you're at the same level."
Defenceman Travis Ramsey said the biggest difference in the two games was the time spent in the IceCaps zone. However, the Californian says good playoff teams don't get too emotional after wins or losses.
"They're a good team, but we're also a good team," Ramsey said. "It's a tough challenge playing a game like this and whether you're home or away, we just have to worry about ourselves. If we do that, we will be a lot more successful."
The series now shifts to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton for games three, four and five beginning Saturday night at the Mohegan Sun Arena. The IceCaps leave Thursday afternoon for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

Renita Jablonski: Even Toyota can't navigate the credit crunch. The company has announced a 28 percent drop in quarterly profit. Slow sales in North America and a strengthening yen are causing Toyota's bottom line to rust. So now, there will be some different numbers on certain stickers.
Stacey Vanek-Smith explains.
Stacey Vanek-Smith: Toyota will raise the price for its Yaris sedan by $200. The Camry hybrid will cost about $300 more. But 2008 auto sales are expected to hit 15-year lows. So why is Toyota charging more? Because it can, says Global Management consultant Pam Murtaugh.
Pam Murtaugh: Toyota has never had to rebate, meaning pay people to buy their cars the way Detroit has. So, there's a lot of elasticity for Toyota.
But Toyota isn't immune to the industry's problems says David Cole, Chairman of the Center for Automotive Research. He says commodities prices have made materials more expensive, and the weak dollar has squeezed profits.
David Cole: Even Toyota is really facing a crunch, partly because of the softening market here, but they've been hit very hard by the strengthening of the Japanese yen as well.
Cole says new technology and stiffer fuel efficiency requirements could also contribute to higher prices.

When an Arkansas employee tried to get workers' comp benefits due to a back injury, the administrative law judge found there was no medical evidence to support the claim. One strike against the worker: photos on Facebook that seemed to show him moving fine while drinking and partying.
He argued that the photos shouldn't be allowed as evidence, saying they have nothing to do with his medical treatment. But the judge disagreed, allowing the photos as evidence, noting that they "could have a bearing on (the employee's) credibility." (Clement v. Johnson's Warehouse Showroom, AR Court of Appeals, 2012)

Where to Watch Oprah's Last Show in New York
The final episode of "Oprah" airs on Wednesday after 25 years of tips on positive thinking, interviews with a parade of celebrity guests and Oprah's own self-effacing tell-alls of her struggles with body image and weight loss.
Guests on her show — in tear-stained confessionals on her couch — were transformed into champions of a cause. When Oprah, with her gilded touch, proclaimed enthusiasm for a product on the show, it turned into one of the public's "favorite things."
"We have eight phone lines and they were ringing off the hook for days upon days, night and day," said Joe Calderone, a spokesperson for Serendipity, after the New York dessert specialty restaurant got its first nod from Oprah in 2003 for its frozen hot chocolate. "When you get a plug by somebody who has so much influence and with so many people who truly live by what she says is good, it's overwhelming."
The content of Oprah's last original show on Wednesday has been kept under wraps, though it's rumored to have a star-studded lineup of guests building on this week's appearances from Tom Hanks and Dakota Fanning. All over the city, bars and restaurants are hosting viewing parties with drink specials that pay homage to the end of one of America's most beloved talk show hosts. Here are some places to watch — and drink an Oprah-tini — around 4 P.M.:
Oprah: The Final Show at the Paley Center for Media Ron Simon, curator at the Paley Center believes that Oprah may be the last broadcaster to truly change the conversation. "She brought together a very diverse audience of races, classes, and generations under her very big tent of talk and empowerment. This sweeping multicultural variety of viewers seems almost impossible these days in our digital media environment," he wrote in an homage to her called "Oprah: The Last Broadcaster." Fans interested in a quiet and laid-back time can watch the finale at the Paley Center starting at 4 P.M. In Midtown Manhattan.
Watch Oprah's final show at Vynl Guests at this kitschy, '50's-themed restaurant can sip $7 Moscow Mules — one of Oprah's favorite drinks — while saluting their daytime heroine. A large projection screen will guarantee that Oprah fans can get a good seat, while happy hour prices will assuage the sad news of the last hour of "Oprah." TVs go on at 3 P.M., in Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan.
Watch the Final episode of the much loved Oprah Winfrey show! at Therapy Oprah fans can say farewell al fresco (assuming the weather holds) on Wednesday at the Bed-Stuy Therapy Wine Bar. A drink they will call the "Oprah-tini" — a blood orange martini — will be served for $10 as viewers gather to watch a large projection screen in the bar's backyard. "Raise a glass and shed a tear for Ms. Winfrey," reads the event invitation on Facebook. Therapy indeed! In Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn.
Oprah Winfrey's Final Show at Splash This Chelsea club scene staple is setting aside the go-go dancers and untz-untz music for the afternoon to celebrate the end of "Oprah." With the help of a giant screen — and likely some laudatory drinks — revelers can toast Oprah while pre-gaming for a night of clubbing. "Witness this historic hour" with Splash at 4 P.M. sharp. In Chelsea, Manhattan.
Where will you be watching the final episode of "Oprah"? Please let us know by posting a comment below.

10 Ways To Plan The City Of The Future
Zappos CEO is investing his own money into culture and collisions to rebuild downtown Las Vegas.
Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh is on a mission to reimagine Vegas. He's moving his company headquarters to a forgotten part of the city and then investing $350million of his own money (which was Amazon's before they bought Zappos) into real estate, start-ups and education. When I sat down to speak with him over lunch on a recent trip, he explained that he wanted to set new criteria for successful urban redevelopment.
In his redevelopment of downtown Las Vegas, Hsieh hopes to create architecture, community and education spaces that encourage people to bump into each other, to connect and for new ideas to blossom. The goal is to design spaces that provide the maximum potential collisions per square foot – he has even taken this theory and applied it to his current offices. At Zappos headquarters Hsieh has closed the exits and shortcuts to the parking lot and forced everyone to walk through the same front door entrance – thus encouraging the serendipitous meeting of people – and hopefully new ideas will spring from this.
We spent much of day and night with him and his crew – and went away inspired by not only his vision but the incredible steps he's taking to get culture moving in downtown Las Vegas. In summary, here are 10 ways Tony Hsieh plans to make the city of the future:
1. City Center HQ
Instead of moving to a business park, Hsieh bought the old city hall and brought the Zappos staff to a downtown neighborhood. Around this office he will spend $350 million on education, real estate and locally based start-ups.
2. Shipping Container Retail Park
On an empty city block, Hseih plans to create a retail park with units made out of shipping containers. The park will feature meeting spaces and some Burning Man style art such as a huge praying mantis that breathes fire.
3. Investing In Locals To Build Better Businesses
As I toured the downtown with Hsieh he showed us a BBQ shack that he had invested in to feed the lunchtime crowd. We sat in a restaurant he reopened with the help of a chef who had spent years working in the casino restaurants.
4. Re-imagine The Original Architecture
Some things just aren't what they seem in downtown Las Vegas. The Medical Center holds a coffee shop and artists community (run independently to the Downtown Project) and the local check cashing establishment is now a fashion store that is also a front to the team's offices.
5. Creating Events For Locals
First Friday has been an event held at the start of every month in Las Vegas. Hsieh saw that the locals needed a place to mix and connect but what was on offer wasn't very good. He bought the rights to the evening event and brought in his own team to manage it. Now it's booming with traders, artists, food-carts, entertainment – even a skateboard park and DJ set.
6. Investing In Start Ups That Invest In The City
Tony has a fund to encourage entrepreneurs to live and work in the city. One of the clauses is that the business should be designed to hire locals and take them on an upwardly mobile career. The fund, operated by Andy White, is run out of a mixed use space – at night it's the Downtown Lounge bar!
7. Embedding The Idea
Tony has rented the top 4 floors of serviced apartments in a building called the Ogden and gives them out to the staff who are helping rebuild the neighborhood. He also offers them to people visiting town in the hope they will get to know his plans better – a tour of the Downtown Project actually takes you into Tony Hsieh's apartment where you can see plans for the downtown redevelopment.
8. Getting Creatives To Fall In Love
The crowned prince of customer service also gets people to stay for longer periods in the hope they'd get to fall in love with a different kind of community and relocate. When I was in Vegas I met the Florida band that plays the hold music for the Zappos service line. They were staying in the serviced apartments for three months as Hseih's guests to get a feel for the city.
9. Getting All The People Involved
On the wall of his apartment is a brainstorm space where people can come and add ideas. These ideas help fuel the planning of the city.
10. TED-Like Education Space
Hsieh also plans to create an auditorioum so people can come and share their ideas with local audiences. The space could be booked by other members of the community. To warm up for this, the Downtown Project already runs a Friday talk series – where we saw Diane Hessan who spoke about her experience launching her start-up Communispace.

You are Loved by Josh Groban
During the first week of September 2006, Groban's latest single entitled "You Are Loved (Don't Give Up)", was exclusively released to AOL's First Listen. It was taken from his third studio album Awake, which was officially released on November 7, 2006. Josh Groban performed "You Are Loved (Don't Give Up)" as well as two other tracks from "Awake" at his recording session for Live from Abbey Road at Abbey Road Studios on 26 October, 2006. On this album Groban also collaborated with British musician and songwriter Imogen Heap, on the single "Now or Never". Two tracks were performed with the South African group Ladysmith Black Mambazo, namely "Lullaby" and "Weeping", both songs having strong African influences. The latter also featured a performance by another famous South African artist, Vusi Mahlasela. Groban's "Awake" world tour visits 71 cities between February and August 2007, and travelled further to Australia in September and the Philippines with Lani Misalucha as his special guest in October of 2007. He did a duet with Barbra Streisand ("All I Know of Love") and also in 2007 a duet with Mireille Mathieu ("Over the Rainbow"). Groban has expressed an interest in performing on Broadway one day.

PSFK Future Of Retail: The Tastemakers Weigh In
PSFK spoke to top executives in the retail field as part of our research for our 2011 update to the Future of Retail Report. Read about what these key players believe are the key ideas circulating in the retail space.
While conducting our research for our recently updated Future of Retail Report, we had the opportunity to interview some cutting-edge players in the industry about the various trends that we see emerging in the retail space, both physical and virtual. Below, Bridget Russo, Global Marketing Director of Edun, Abby Lunardini, VP of Corporate Communications at Virgin America, JD Spangler, VP of Category Development of Hanes Brands Inc., Mike Milley, manager of Design Research and Strategy for Samsung, Mike Peck, Senior Design Manager of Brand and Packaging for Starbucks, Tom McCann, Director of Retail Usability Research for Staples Inc., and Vickie VanHurley, Ph.D. and former Packaging Design Supervisor for Meijer, share their insights.
How could this trend be leveraged by retailers?
Tom McCann (Staples): The popularization of online shopping is creating the expectation that a retailer's inventory shouldn't be limited by the physical size of its stores. Providing online and mobile access to a business' full inventory is quickly becoming a necessity to avoid significant loss of traffic.
Mike Milley (Samsung): Limitations of inventory storage space are the bane of retailers' profitability. Not having the right size or model number in stock can mean a lost sale. Creating direct access to virtual inventories can help overcome this limitation.
How could this trend be leveraged by product manufacturers?
Mike Milley (Samsung): Creating deeper 'virtual inventories' can reduce shipping and tracking costs for manufacturers, making channel distribution more efficient.
Have you seen an innovative example of this trend?
Bridget Russo (Edun): You see it everywhere and I love the idea of it. It especially works for a brand that has a true story behind its product. But I have yet to see a consumer on the street or in the store use it. I am sure that will change in time.
How could this trend be leveraged by retailers?
Tom McCann (Staples): The provision of additional information and customer reviews through mobile devices and QR codes when a customer is considering a product will become mainstream in the near future. This helps the customer feel more in control of the shopping experience and decision-making process. However, I expect that as more retailers provide these features, they will have a diminishing impact on brand loyalty as they become a standard element in in-store shopping.
Mike Peck (Starbucks): It's such a rich area to explore, as long as retailers keep pushing the boundaries. There is nothing worse than a QR code that takes me to a standard website or YouTube video. Things that are truly interactive will win out.
Mike Milley (Samsung): Consumers of all demographic segments are already accustom to the online shopping experience. In-Stories provide valuable information at the point of sale, where customers would normally go online to research a product even before entering a physical retail environment. It will become essential to delivering consistent information and experience to the consumer at all points of contact.
How could this trend be leveraged by product manufacturers?
Mike Peck (Starbucks): This will soon be a standard for all packaging. Product manufacturers need to get onboard and consider it as a small but fun part of their overall marketing matrix.
Mike Milley (Samsung): As this trend moves towards the mainstream, it will lose its 'wow' factor. Manufacturers will have to focus on delivering content and experiences that are useful and meaningful to consumers.
J.D. Spangler (Hanes): Engage shoppers to inform, but also to learn about any product shortcomings and find out why they don't make a purchase after seeing the detailed information on the product.
Have you seen an innovative example of this trend?
Abby Lunardini (Virgin America): Facebook's sharing ability, along with its omnipresence, makes it a compelling combination for retailers. I think the challenge will be keeping the consumer benefits real and maintaining the authenticity of dialogue in the space. When we launched our new Florida routes in 2009, we had an interesting experiment that encouraged friends to share and book flights. That was a very successful campaign for us.
How could this trend be leveraged by retailers?
Tom McCann (Staples): While the ultimate goal is to have an army of promoters in the community influencing their friends to subscribe to a brand, retailers have to be careful not to create too wide of a gap between the social promoters and the rest of their customers. Treating the social promoters with preference will create a barrier between them and the community they are expected to influence. We still have a lot to learn about social promotion.
How could this trend be leveraged by retailers?
Mike Peck (Starbucks): One 'Like' will soon be worth the same as millions in paid media when measured on a per-sale basis. On the same note, a negative reaction to a product can travel even faster in the social media space.
Have you seen an innovative example of this trend?
Bridget Russo (Edun): I suppose this is a hybrid of hard shop-in-shops and pop-up shops. We are looking at such opportunities. It's important for a brand to have a presence that's intimate and unique; that provides an opportunity to convey the brand in a more meaningful way than than just a rail of clothing with your logo.
How could this trend be leveraged by retailers?
Tom McCann (Staples): Creating branded experiences inside the store allows retailers to provide a product or service that their brand can't support. They provide customers with relevant products that convenes their shopping experience — and that has considerable value.
Mike Peck (Starbucks): This is the 'shop-in-shop' model that has been around since the first department store. The only problem is Walmart or Target could soon end up looking like a swap meet.
Mike Milley (Samsung): Be inspired by the freshness of in-the-moment discovery enabled by pop-up stores and food trucks. Make the store-in-store experience temporary and discovery-driven.
J.D. Spangler (Hanes): Provide a one-stop solution for shoppers. However, there must be value-added resulting from the experience.
How could this trend be leveraged by product manufacturers?
Mike Peck (Starbucks): Brands want more control nowadays as budgets and staffing shrink. They also don't want their story to be diluted by the seller's brand story. The more you control the message, the more concise you can be.
Have you seen an innovative example of this trend?
Abby Lunardini (Virgin America): Yes, Loopt for an example. We've also worked with Groupon on the first Groupon for air travel, which sold out in about seven minutes in Chicago where we launched the service earlier this year. These can be incredibly powerful sales drivers and I think we've just scratched the service in terms of group and geolocation discounts.
How could this trend be leveraged by retailers?
Tom McCann (Staples): The functionality to present offers and deals on a customer's mobile device should be seen as only a part of the retailer's digital strategy. Mobile technologies are providing retailers with an opportunity to communicate with their customers on a more intimate level than previously possible. The mobile device is set to become the delivery platform for a personalized product and promotional program at the expense of the weekend store circular.
Mike Milley (Samsung): Location-based services must be sensitive to consumers' real interest. Pushing irrelevant deals at shoppers will push them away. Make it effor

Washington • Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman is launching a new political action committee to try and drive the Republican Party toward his ideas and to support like-minded candidates.
The move also hints at a possible second presidential bid, though Huntsman says he isn't planning that far ahead.
"Would anybody be that crazy; I'm not sure," Huntsman told The Salt Lake Tribune on Thursday. "What it does signal is that I'm terribly interested in the issues that will drive the debate and terribly interested in ideas that can revitalize and give new life to the direction of the Republican Party; I think that's terribly needed."
The Utah-based Red Rock PAC will allow Huntsman to crisscross the country to keep his ideas in the conversation. It can't financially support federal candidates but could be used to donate to local races and pay for staff and travel costs.
Since dropping out of his first White House bid last year, Huntsman has joined signed on to help various groups, from a commission on protecting intellectual property to serving on the board of Ford Motor Co., but his creation of a PAC will help thrust him back into the political sphere.
Huntsman's long-time, right-hand-man, Neil Ashdown, is treasurer of the new group and Mark McIntosh, a former 2012 aide, is serving as president of the PAC. The group has also hired former Federal Election Commission Chairman Trevor Potter as general counsel and a new communications consultant, Joe Kildea.
Huntsman says he wants to return the focus on tackling big issues like reforming taxes, education and immigration and developing an energy policy for the future, key concerns that Huntsman talked about during his presidential run.
"Either your ideas resonate or they don't and if they don't you walk away," Huntsman said Thursday. "And if there is some connection between those who hear your ideas and those who are offering up solutions then maybe there's more to come."
Huntsman can't financially support federal candidates, though he says he may start a federal political action committee down the road.
Huntsman aides began his 2012 campaign by forming another Utah group, the Horizon PAC, while the ex-Utah governor was still serving as U.S. ambassador to China. That PAC paid for staff and activities ahead of his formal campaign.
He chose to start a new group in Utah, Huntsman said, because that's "my home." Utah law allows unlimited political contributions from people and corporations.
Former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney also had a Utah-based PAC between his two White House runs.
"After running for office, founding a political action committee is a way to stay relevant, a way to stay in the conversation, especially when a party is reinventing itself like the Republican Party is today," says Reid Wilson, editor of the National Journal's Hotline. "If Jon Huntsman wants any say in the direction of that re-invention, this is a good way to do it."
Moreover, Wilson says, GOP moderates will need Huntsman's cash and clout if they want to help drive their message through the current conservative climate in the Republican Party.

One of the primary uses of a device like this is stock, delivery or inventory control, and Socket sent along its wireless and compact-flash based laser barcode scanners to give them a try. You can scan directly into Excel Mobile spreadsheets and I can see how, were I in need of this sort of feature, this implementation would be very easy to setup and manage. As is so often the case, buying a properly integrated solution from one supplier is an awful lot easier than trying to roll your own from different manufacturers. If you don't need this sort of thing, however, it's not going to swing things in the SoMo 650's favour.
And it must be said that the SoMo really does need something to swing things in its favour, because while this is a very well-built, tough and speedy PDA, it's also a very expensive one. Compaq's excellent iPaq 214 is available for half the price, and while it's not as rugged, it has a better screen, a very similar specification and its own strong suite of communications and connection management applets.
What's more, at £400 the SoMo is also pricier than most smartphones, and as one of the few arguments in favour of separate devices is price, this could have an impact on small business buyers. If durability, a long product life and close integration with Socket's scanning devices make sense for you and your company, then the SoMo might still be a worthy investment. If you're just looking for a good, straight PDA, the iPaq is the better business-focused buy.
A well-built, semi-rugged Pocket PC that offers several advantages in specific technical, warehouse or industrial applications, but the high price means it's a no-go for the average business user.

Coco Chanel Photos and Quotes That Restore Fabulousness to Fashion
Coco Chanel left one of the greatest legacies in fashion.
She founded the Chanel brand on sartorial liberation; evolving the image of luxury from corsets to sporty little black dresses. In 1913, she opened her first boutique, where she sold clothes made of stretchy jersey (previously only used for men's underwear). By 1918, she opened a location in Paris at 31 rue Cambon, where the store still sits today.
Chanel's aesthetic legacy was one of simplicity and elegance, giving women the power to move freely in their clothes. She promoted female independence by offering women outfits that could be put on without the help of servants, and that allowed for the movement required in public transportation and physical labor.
Today would be her 133rd birthday, and we celebrate her longstanding charisma, elegance, and commitment to comfortable fashion. Celebrate the iconic designer with quotes and images that will remind you why you love the essence of fashion.

This article was contributed and first published in Business Times on 26 February 2013.
IT was clear early on that this year's Budget was not going to be of significant interest from a technical tax perspective (unfortunately, as Tom Jones would have said, that's not unusual).
On the other hand, it was probably the most anticipated in a general sense, against a backdrop of a government White Paper on population in January (which sparked off the largest public demonstration in the country's modern history), and the announcement of closer economic and infrastructural ties with Malaysia, aimed at - among other things - a high-speed rail link to Kuala Lumpur, the Malaysian capital.
The Budget had to do a balancing act (and an aerial one at that, given how high the stakes are) between political and economic expediency.
On the one side sits a population that is becoming increasingly concerned about immigration, not only from the perspective of "Singapore our home", but from the fear of an overcrowded Singapore buckling under the weight of sheer numbers.
On the other side sit the small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) who are concerned that turning off the foreign worker tap too quickly will damage or even destroy their businesses.
So how did the Budget fare on the population front? The population issue has of course been the topic of hot debate. In the run-up to the Budget, a report suggested: "Coming in the wake of the population White Paper, Mr Tharman's Budget speech at 3.30pm will be closely watched to see how it addresses the issues raised by the White Paper."
Well, anybody who was watching the speech with this in mind will have been somewhat disappointed. Notably, it was almost silent on the issues raised in the White Paper. In particular, there was no reference to the need to increase the patter of tiny Singaporean feet, apart from some possible collateral impact from the reduction in the foreign maid's levy from $170 to $120 month (although this is also aimed at the elderly); and the $3 billion projected spending on the pre-school sector (which is aimed more at increasing capacity and quality rather than lowering the costs per se).
However, one area that will of course have an impact on the population - not necessarily the size, but the ethnic mix - is the relentless pursuit by the government (reinforced in this Budget) of enhanced productivity through strict controls on the number of foreign workers allowed into the country.
With no apologies to the hardship that certain businesses may experience as a result of these controls, the Minister for Finance gave the thumbscrews a further twist this year. Not only is he proposing an increase in, but a sharpening of, the focus of the dependency ratio caps - the ratio of foreign workers to Singaporeans that a company can employ.
Forced use of S'poreans
Leaving aside the impact on the SMEs who may feel the heat, the other side of this is to force businesses to increase the use of Singaporeans - if they can find one who is not already gainfully and quite happily employed - to do the job required.
Ultimately, the government is quite right to try to cap the increase in the workforce as even with this capping, the population will drift inexorably towards the more than six million projected by 2030. Some demographers may say that even this cap is not enough; but the uncontested message is that if labour force growth is allowed to stay at current levels (about 3.9 per cent per annum), the outcome could be significantly more alarming; not only that, the proportion of Singaporeans to foreigners in such a scenario would be quite insignificant.
The other uncontested message is that the population of Singaporean citizens is dwindling rapidly. Accordingly, continued immigration is a sine qua non for the survival of the country as a multi-cultural cosmopolitan state, or indeed as a state at all.
The last Mohican
In this context, I was fortunate enough to attend a lecture by a world renowned demographer last week, who suggested that Singaporeans should be less concerned than they are about the future of their indigenous population. While a 2.1 birth rate is the target replacement ratio, a country that is increasing the productivity of its population can continue to grow its economy with a lower fertility rate (1.7 was suggested) through increased educational standards, both within formal education and in the workplace. This is something that Singapore is actively pursuing.
That is fine and dandy, but there are limitations to productivity per head; and if the Singaporean headcount is still falling (albeit more slowly than the current rate of 1.2), then you end up one day with only one lonely but admittedly very productive Singaporean. Mathematics at its finest.
Integrate or disintegrate
So controlled immigration is undoubtedly the best and only way forward. As that is a given, the next question that needs to be asked is how to integrate new immigrants to make them "Singaporean". Clearly, this is a social question and there is really little that can be done in terms of fiscal measures - at least any that have a short term impact. Rather, it is the integration of foreigners' children into schools and the local environment that "reverse engineers" itself back to the parents through enhanced contact between parents of different backgrounds. How this process can be enhanced with the help of fiscal measures is an area to which thought should now be given. No choice, lah.

Lining 6" metal flue with 4" Class B vent
I have an 80% gas furnace with a 4" exhaust attached to a 40 year old 6" double wall gas flue approximately 15 feet straight from basement to cap. It runs in a chase up the center of the house. A 4 " pipe runs approx. 5 feet from the furnace to the bottom of the flue. I have condensation running down the flue interior and from the reducer joint. The flue is clear. I could seal the joint, but then the water just ends up in the heat exchanger I would assume.
I am guessing the velocity of the gasses slows enough entering the 6" pipe to allow the condensation to form + interior surface area is too large to get warm enough to prevent it.
Can I ("within code") slide a 4" class b pipe inside the existing pipe? It will fit, just don't know if it is legal AND should that resolve the issue? OR is the only solution a condensation drain?
Thank you!!
It is legal. Our Pro chimney company slides smaller liners into 6 inch single wall liners all the time. Should have 4 inch B vent from the furnace to the chimney also. Loses a LOT of its heat on the way to the chimney. without it the moisture will run back into your furnace and SERIOUSLY damage it.
Using the old chimney as a chase is perfectly allright unless your hot water heater uses that old chimney.
depending on the combined BTUs of furnace and H2o heater 4" may be big enough to do both and be OK
Appreciate the input very much. Looks like a project for a weekend.

March 28, 2003
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - With the scored tied at three, center fielder Sam Clark was able to score from second base on an error by first baseman Kyle Scott to give UAB (19-6, 4-2 Conference USA) a 4-3 11-inning victory over Memphis (7-16, 1-6 C-USA) in Conference USA baseball action at Young Memorial Field.
UAB took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning on a home run to center field by right fielder Kyle Leon that cleared the 30-foot batter's eye wall.
The Blazers added a run in the bottom of the second inning when catcher Eugene Rodriguez scored on a passed ball by Memphis catcher Kurt Welch.
Memphis answered with three runs in the top of the third inning. Designated hitter Chad House singled to left center field, scoring second baseman Bill Moss for the first run of the inning. Welch later doubled to left field, bringing in House and right fielder Josh Payne.
UAB tied the score at three in the bottom of the third inning when third baseman Drew Connell singled to center field, scoring Leon.
The game went scoreless for seven and one-half innings, but in the bottom of the 11th left fielder Mitch Jones reached first on an infield single and Scott was unable to field a throw by shortstop Brent Dlugach, allowing Clark to score the game winner.
Jeff Brown (3-1) picked up the win for UAB after coming on in relief of Blazer starter Lucas Trotter. Brown worked four innings and surrendered only one hit, while allowing no runs, three walks and three strikeouts. Trotter went seven innings and gave up three runs on five hits. He had two walks and 11 strikeouts.
Daniel de Armas ((2-1) took the loss for Memphis after coming on in relief of Tiger starter Jarrett Grube. De Armas worked three innings and gave up one run, which was unearned, on four hits. Grube pitched seven innings and gave up three runs, two of which were earned, on eight hits.
UAB and Memphis will meet in the second game of the three-game series Saturday at 2 p.m.

OK, let's face it; my Florida tournament performance was horrible. We're going to talk about some things in a minute but before we do I want to congratulate Ish Monroe on his win; Chris Lane on a fine comeback effort; and the Big O for producing heavy bags of fish over a four day span of time. They all did a good job.
I don't know what's wrong but whatever it is, it's beginning to take a toll on me. Back when I first started fishing, I made steady progress. I was no Kevin VanDam but I caught my share and usually, over a two- or three-year period, did noticeably better. That's no longer the case. In truth, I've slipped since the 2008 Bassmaster Classic.
It's not physical. I feel as good as I ever have and I'm able to make accurate casts and work my baits like I always could. It's mental. Something happens out there, and I just don't get it done. I'm worried about that. I don't want my fishing attitude to turn negative, but...
I love everything about fishing tournaments except the weigh-ins. It's fun to launch in the morning, fish all day, meet the fans and talk to the press. Heck, I even enjoy the long drives and the cheap motels — well, sort of. But come 3 p.m., it's not fun anymore. It's turning into misery. That's beginning to scare me to death.
Other than Tracey, all I live for is fishing. It's what I think about day and night. I measure my life by my on-the-water activities. I don't want that to change. I've always said that success without real joy in your life is meaningless. I need fishing. I'm addicted to it as sure as a cocaine addict is addicted to cocaine.
Of course, it's one thing to talk about all this stuff but it's another to do something about it. I know that one of my problems is that I like to fish too much. Bass fishing at this level is about weight, not catching fish. I sometimes catch fish without enough concern for their size. Another factor might be that I'm stretched too thin.
It's great to tell people that I get up before everyone else and work on Signcom. It's a status thing, hard work and all that. It's also distracting from the task at hand — finding big bass. Or it might be that I fish too many tournaments. I usually hit 30-35 in a year. Maybe I should cut down to just the Elites and a few Opens. I honestly don't know.
I've even been giving some thought to working with a sports psychologist. I know lots of successful people use them. I've resisted that because in the back of my mind I don't think they know how to bass fish. But that's not my problem. It's my head that needs work, not my rod and reel.
I'm sorry to be so negative but I have to get this off my chest. I can do better.

Leading up to the big game, Hugh Hefner threw his always-hot Playboy Super Saturday Night Party last night in a 52,000-square-foot tent in the middle of the Arizona desert.
Famous faces in attendance included the likes of Tiki Barber, Alyssa Milano, Heroes' Milo Ventimiglia and The Hills' Audrina Patridge and Lauren Conrad, who wore a sequined zebra-stripe mini-dress.
According to press on hand, "Hef, chief girlfriend Holly Madison and the other Girls Next Door held court on the dance floor beneath a slideshow of vintage Playboy stills and partied the night away with their fellow guests."
Meanwhile, to help balance the mostly-male crowd, "a busload of college girls from the University of Arizona arrived, strutting down the red carpet in a barrage of short cocktail dresses, stilettos and whitened smiles."

My dearest fur husband Vern is an angel. He passed away and I am trying SO hard to be brave. Mommy said there was a little girl in Heaven that always wanted a kitty. Mommy said that Vern was called, so this little girl could have a kitty of her very own. She said Vern is running and playing and happy. So why am I so sad?
I love you Vern.
Oh HAPPY DAY!! Vern proposed and I said YES!!

For sale is a late war (1945) Nazi PP with the typical AC marking for the Walther factory. No Nazi markings as is correct for these guns. Slide and frame match so this one was probably made by the Germans before GIs overran the factory. Magazine is Walther marked (no "W"). Finish is quite good considering how rough some of these later guns were. Only defect is a cracked left grip panel (again, pretty common). No import marks. More pictures available on request.
Price is $740 shipped to a C&R or better, payable by check or postal money order (PayPal is possible, but contact me first).
Questions are welcomed but this is listed elsewhere too so first "I'll take it" gets it. Please either post here or email me to alert me of PMs because I don't get notification. Extended terms: if you need extra time to pay, post a definite commitment here and get payment to me by 6/18/13 (two weeks). Thanks for looking.

TENNIS • Novak Djokovic extended his winning streak to 19 matches with a 6-0, 5-7, 6-2 victory over Fabio Fognini in the second round of the BNP Paribas Open on Sunday in Indian Wells, Calif.
Djokovic, who lost to John Isner in the semifinals here a year ago, held serve for a 5-2 lead in the final set, then had a pair of match points after a crisp forehand to the corner.
Also, Andy Murray earned a 5-7, 6-2, 6-2 victory over Evgeny Donskoy. In his first competitive match of the year after not playing since last September because of a heart condition, Mardy Fish of the United States earned a 6-3, 3-6, 6-4 win over Bobby Reynolds.
Women's No. 2 seed Maria Sharapova followed Murray onto Stadium Court and advanced to the fourth round with a 7-5, 6-3 victory over Carla Suarez Navarro of Spain.

Orrange carried the Cardinal while star Chiney Ogwumike struggled through one of the worst games of her career. Ogwumike failed to score over the final 38 minutes of the game and finished with a career-low 3 points.

Talk to Me: China in Two Acts
China watchers and writers Ian Buruma, Yan Lianke, Linda Polman, David Rieff, and Zha Jianying spoke at the PEN World Voices Festival of International Literature about human rights in China at the Great Hall at Cooper Union.
Bon mots:
Zha Jianying, author of "Tide Players: The Movers and Shakers of a Rising China," on human rights: "The questions of values and human rights lies not outside China but in China. And with the Chinese people and the Chinese leaders. This is about their life and their future. Nowhere else have these issues been debated and fought with as much passion and with a wider array of positions; the views as polarized and complicated as the situation. And the characters involved are four dimensional, not black and white."
Zha on humor: "I do know the party is not known for having a sense of humor. They wouldn't appreciate someone like Oscar Wilde who says, 'Life is too important to be taken seriously.'"
Yan Lianke, who got the 2000 Lu Xun for "The Year, The Month, The Day" and the 2004 Lao She for "Pleasure," on Ai Weiwei: "An academic from Beijing told me something that shocked me. He said, 'What does all this have to do with our lives?' For example, when we see that Ai Weiwei is arrested, we see that he has a long list of crimes. And one of these crimes is fraud, and when people read about how much money he deceived from the people they think he deserves to be arrested and locked up. For all those who are struggling and fighting, 99 percent of the people in China don't really care about what they're doing. They care about their lives, they care about money, and their basic need to survive."
Yan on censorship: "I think that people like Liu Xiaobo and Ai Weiwei are true warriors, where as someone like me, I'm a coward. I can't fight out loud like they do, all I can do is silently write. So, to be a lonely writer in China, is perhaps one of the luckiest things to do."

Want to start by apologizing for no post yesterday, I know you folks get a little cranky when you don't get the morning breakfast. It was a travel day for me. The weather officially beat me down and I bolted for Florida. To be honest, this trip during the nine-day lull in UC's hoops schedule has been planned for a bit, but it couldn't have come at a better time.
Today, I come to you from 76-degree sunny skies outside Ft. Myers. Obviously, my pale/baldness reacts to this change as well as a cat to a vacuum cleaner, but I'll take it over frozen tear ducts any day. Plus my out of control sprinkler of a golf game returns from the cobwebs to likely set off a neighborhood watch around the course.
But, all of this won't keep me from bringing the goods to you and, of course, when UC returns to action Wednesday against Rutgers, I will be there for the beginning of this important stretch in the season.
It's difficult to take a picture of warmth, but I think this creeper shot from the plane on the way in about proves the point. Now that I've caused the server to crash at Expedia, let's eat ...
--- I mentioned important stretch of the season for UC, let me dive into that a little more. In case you haven't noticed, completely unpredictable anarchy is happening out there. Miami just beat Duke by 27 points last night. LaSalle over Butler. Northwestern over Minnesota. Wake over NC State. Villanova over Louisville. All this just since UC-Syracuse on Monday.
The depth in college basketball continues to grow deeper and deeper. More than ever, drawing a higher seed to avoid the quality at-larges that can tear up brackets is of utmost importance.
On top of that, again landing in the double-bye for the Big East tournament is a big deal in a league where nearly everyone it seems will end up around .500. With everyone except UConn at least six games in to BE conference play, 11 of the 15 teams are within one game of .500 or better. Every team in the league owns at least one conference win.
The final incarnation of the old BE tournament will be another battle of attrition. Avoiding one wave goes a long way toward returning to the title game.
Point being, the time is now in the schedule to make the move. Of those teams I mentioned within a game of .500 in conference play, only one of the next three opponents falls in that category and it's a Rutgers team UC already went into the RAC and beat.
Next three: Rutgers (12-6, 3-4), @Seton Hall (13-6, 2-4) and @Providence (10-9, 2-5).
The closest thing to a signature win by any of these three teams is a Hall win at middling Wake Forest (10-8) or a Seton Hall victory against bad news Mississippi State (7-10). In league where there are no easy nights, these are relatively easy nights. Running the table leaves you 7-3 and sitting pretty entering the home stretch of the conference season.
Mick Cronin talked about trying to make up for giving away games early in the conference season, the margin for error is slim against teams like this. They must take care of business and avoid what happened to Louisville at Nova on Tuesday.
--- Mick's TV show w/ TG is on tonight at 6 p.m. on FSOhio. Assistant Larry Davis is filling in for him while he's on a recruiting trip, but Mick prerecorded his list of top 5 NBA players before taking off. Hope he finds a way to slip Jason Maxiell in there. Or at least reference he had the top play of the night earlier this season. (2:20 mark).
--- While I'm on the NBA, quick Lance Stephenson update in Indiana, his arrival season continued with probably his best game of the season on Friday. He notched 15 points, six rebounds, four assists and two steals in a narrow loss to Charlotte.
--- Interesting story from the AP on the lack of offense in college basketball right now. Scoring numbers the last two years are at the lowest since the early 80s. So, yes, Bearcats fans, struggling offense isn't only a complaint inside the I-275 belt.
Of course, I vehemently disagree with the column associated with this story from the Virginian-Pilot. College hoops is still as fun to watch as ever.
--- Notre Dame, reeling all of a sudden, and Mike Brey searching for answers. Don't think there's much doubt ND played their best game of the year at UC. Huggs struggling at WVU, Mike Decourcy wonders if he can get them back on track.
--- Wanted to give an official blog shout out to Ashley Davis, whose been interning with me here at the blog this season and doing a tremendous job. She cranked out this piece on women's star Dayeesha Hollins earlier this week. Great look inside a special athlete at UC.
All we see these days are athletes making it all about them with these elaborate ceremonies of picking their colleges (get ready, Signing Day right around the corner) or popping off about how great they are are, it's refreshing to see an athlete who made their college basketball experience not as much about the selfish spotlight, but about the family she's so close to.
Really enjoyed the opportunity I had to talk with Dayeesha this year and think what she's doing with all the opponent's defensive pressure focused on her has been nothing shy of remarkable.
--- Hated to see Travis Kelce had to pull out of the Senior Bowl due to injury. He was widely regarded as the the top tight end prospects in the game. Shouldn't hurt Kelce's stock, but would have been fun to see how well he did this week.
--- Randomness ...
--- The "Dell Dude" wants to come back and thinks he can fix the company's problems. I'm thinking Dell should first start with a customer support system that doesn't make me have to clear an entire weekday afternoon.
--- Don't step to the Scalabrine. He will beat you mercilessly and report it to the press.
--- They are making a BayWatch movie? What else is left to say on this topic? Can you really just trot out voluptuous women in swimsuits running around over and over again and think people will flock to watch? Oh, wait, the numbers say they do every time? OK, then.
--- The Lakers brought the pole out of the crawl space for an airing of the grievances. It ended about as well as Festivus at the Constanzas.
--- If you are looking for a gift for me for President's Day, Pearl Jam is playing Wrigley Field on July 19. I'll take two, near second base, please. (Sidenote: Full PJ Fall Tour dates on the way. And all is right with the world)
Predictably, here's Eddie Vedder joining Bruce Springsteen singing Our Hometown at Wrigley Field last year. Have a great day everybody.

By Paul Gardner
It seemed to me likely that ESPN, having taken the decision to slap American soccer in the face by employing a virtually all-Brit army of commentators for its World Cup telecasts, would then soften the blow by having those guys make a concession or two to American sensibilities or American viewpoints, or, at the very least, to the American language.
Wrong again. Having delivered the original insult (quite possibly without even being aware of the faux pas), ESPN proceeded to allow its Brits to give us hour after hour after hour of solidly Brit-oriented broadcasts without the slightest attempt that I could discover, on the part of anyone, to modify matters for an American audience.
Talking of hours and hours: everything that I am going to say in this column is based on my own viewing of these ESPN broadcasts. A total of 48 full games, plus two half-games, which means about 75 hours of listening. This was strictly live commentary - I watched very little of the studio stuff. So, 75 hours with seven Brits - Martin Tyler, Ian Darke, Adrian Healey, Derek Rae, Robbie Mustoe, Ally McCoist, Efran Ekoku and the lone American, John Harkes.
Actually, Harkes makes a good starting point. Because he managed something that none of the Brits could pull off: he uttered the word soccer! This historic moment occurred 11 minutes into the Argentina vs. South Korea game on June 17. A moment to relish, because it didn't happen again. Apart from that one use, it was football all the way.
Well, now. I live in a country where the sport is controlled by the United States Soccer Federation, where the pro league is named Major League Soccer, where the sport in the high schools and the colleges is, always, called soccer. And so on. But these guys can't even bring themselves to mention the word. Not quite true -- they managed it when talking of the Australian Socceroos, and of Soccer City in Johannesburg (hey, how come that didn't get translated into Football City?), and Tyler once mentioned the Premier Soccer League -- but that's South African, so I guess that's OK.
But how can this be? It is inconceivable to me that ESPN would have required the announcers to ban the word -- firstly because I cannot imagine that ESPN works that way, and secondly because it doesn't know enough to even have an opinion on the matter.
Which means that the announcers themselves just plowed on as though they were talking to a Brit audience. Nice, very nice. A snotty "just shut up and listen the masters" approach that certainly put the Americans in their place. You could even think that the Brits had quite forgotten that they weren't talking to a Brit audience -- yet how could that be when each telecast featured a greeting in British accents to American soldiers and sailors watching on AFN?
At times it was downright insulting. When the South African crowds did the wave, Rae, Darke and Tyler referred to it as "the Mexican Wave." That is pure Brit usage, based on ignorance -- Brit journalists first saw the wave during the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, and presumed it to be a Mexican invention.
But wouldn't you think that someone at ESPN would have told these guys about its American origin?
And what are we to make of phrases like "under the cosh" (did he say "under the coach?" I was asked), "at sixes and sevens," "break his duck," "argie-bargie," "keepy-uppy," "punter," "came up trumps" and no doubt others. No explanation was offered for these curiosities, yet occasionally -- very occasionally -- some sort of sensitivity did force it's way to the surface.
At one point Tyler spoke, with feeling, of his admiration for the American game and all that was being done to promote its growth. A genuine tribute, but one that never featured the word "soccer"!
When Tyler used the word "draw," he then said to Harkes "or 'tie,' as you would say." Well, there are various other things that "we would say." Take the word "assist" for instance. This is a familiar word to all American sports fans, and is widely used in soccer, with MLS dishing out assists on virtually every goal scored in the league. It is also a concept that has been adopted by FIFA, which includes assists in its official World Cup statistics.
The Italians and the Spanish use the term, too. But not the Brits. No sir, not them. I have discussed this with a number of Brit journalists over the years and it is quite clear that their objection to the concept and the word is that they are Americanisms. Nothing deeper than that. It's not even that the Brits have a better word -- they don't have a word at all.
They have to talk, as Tyler did, of a player "making" a goal for a teammate; Rae preferred "setting up" a goal. Hardly the Queen's English at its best.
Did any of the ESPN commentators use the word "assist"? I never heard it -- and I was listening for it. The only time I heard it was from Chris Fowler -- an American -- in the studio. To lean over backward to avoid using an American term -- and a useful one, at that -- is surely just about as childish as you can get.
Worse, because it caused confusion, was the Brits' insistence on using, without any explanation that I heard, the array of Brit terms used to denote time: thus we got injury time and stoppage time and normal time and added time and extra time. What we did not get was the American terms regulation time and overtime.
What I have detailed above is clear evidence that ESPN either doesn't care about the American soccer audience, or is convinced that there is no such audience. Enter the Brits as the experts to teach us what's what in soccer, though we'll have to use the word football from now on, I guess.
That last sentence raises the question: just how expert were these experts? I'll take a look into that next time.

Companies in this industry make fresh and frozen bread as well as cakes, pies, and doughnuts. Major companies include Dawn Foods, Flowers Foods, McKee Foods, and United States Bakery (all based in the US), along with Allied Bakeries (UK), ARYZTA (Switzerland), Grupo Bimbo (Mexico), Weston Foods (Canada), and Yamazaki Baking (Japan).
The US bakery products industry includes more than 2,800 commercial bakeries with combined annual revenue of about $30 billion, along with about 6,700 retail bakeries with annual revenue of about $3 billion.
Demand is driven by consumer preferences and by the extent to which grocery stores choose to operate their own bakeries rather than buy from commercial bakeries. Profitability for individual companies is determined by efficiency of operations. Large companies have scale advantages in procurement, production, and distribution. Small companies can compete by offering specialty goods or superior local distribution services.
In the US, the commercial side of the industry is concentrated: the 50 largest companies generate about 75% of revenue. The retail side of the industry is highly fragmented: the 50 largest companies generate about 20% of revenue, and the typical company operates just one facility.
Major products include baked breads, mainly white, wheat and rye, which account for about 40% of commercial bakery sales. About 30% of sales come from rolls, buns, muffins, bagels and croissants; 10% from soft cakes; and the rest from pies, pastries, donuts and ...

WINTERSET' AND MR. ANDERSON; A New Play's Poetry -- Although Not Always Its Actors -- Makes It the First Major Event of the Season
By BROOKS ATKINSON. ();

IN this column's first-night review of Mr. Anderson's verse tragedy those lines were described as "formal and prolix." They are not. They are as hard and cutting as emerald dust, and a fair token of the philosophy and style of a fine American drama which ought to be produced.

Multitasking during Web search sessions
Spink, Amanda H., Park, Minsoo, Jansen, Bernard J., & Pedersen, Jan (2006) Multitasking during Web search sessions. Information Processing and Management, 42(1), pp. 264-275.
|PDF (131kB)
A users single session with a Web search engine or information retrieval (IR) system may consist of seeking information on single or multiple topics, and switch between tasks or multitasking information behavior. Most Web search sessions consist of two queries of approximately two words. However, some Web search sessions consist of three or more queries. We present findings from two studies. First, a study of two-query search sessions on the AltaVista Web search engine, and second, a study of three or more query search sessions on the AltaVista Web search engine. We examine the degree of multitasking search and information task switching during these two sets of AltaVista Web search sessions. A sample of two-query and three or more query sessions were filtered from AltaVista transaction logs from 2002 and qualitatively analyzed. Sessions ranged in duration from less than a minute to a few hours. Findings include: (1) 81% of two-query sessions included multiple topics, (2) 91.3% of three or more query sessions included multiple topics, (3) there are a broad variety of topics in multitasking search sessions, and (4) three or more query sessions sometimes contained frequent topic changes. Multitasking is found to be a growing element in Web searching. This paper proposes an approach to interactive information retrieval (IR) contextually within a multitasking framework. The implications of our findings for Web design and further research are discussed.
