The biological functions of some orthologs within the human genome and model-animal genomes are evolutionarily conserved, but those of others are divergent due to protein evolution and promoter evolution. Because WNT signaling molecules play key roles during embryogenesis, tissue regeneration and carcinogenesis, the author's group has carried out a human WNT-ome project for the comprehensive characterization of human genes encoding WNT signaling molecules. From 1996 to 2002, we cloned and characterized WNT2B/WNT13, WNT3, WNT3A, WNT5B, WNT6, WNT7B, WNT8A, WNT8B, WNT9A/WNT14, WNT9B/WNT14B, WNT10A, WNT10B, WNT11, FZD1, FZD2, FZD3, FZD4, FZD5, FZD6, FZD7, FZD8, FZD10, FRAT1, FRAT2, NKD1, NKD2, VANGL1, RHOU/ARHU, RHOV/ARHV, GIPC2, GIPC3, FBXW11/βTRCP2, SOX17, TCF7L1/TCF3, and established a cDNA-PCR system for snap-shot and dynamic analyses on the WNT-transcriptome. In 2003, we identified and characterized PRICKLE1, PRICKLE2, DACT1/DAPPER1, DACT2/DAPPER2, DAAM2, and BCL9L. After completion of the human WNT-ome project, we have been working on the stem cell signaling network. WNT signals are transduced to β-catenin, NLK, NFAT, PKC, JNK and RhoA signaling cascades. FGF20, JAG1 and DKK1 are target genes of the WNT-β-catenin signaling cascade. Cross-talk of WNT and FGF signaling pathways potentiates β-catenin and NFAT signaling cascades. BMP signals induce IHH upregulation in co-operation with RUNX. Hedgehog signals induce upregulation of SFRP1, JAG2 and FOXL1, and then FOXL1 induces BMP4 upregulation. The balance between WNT-FGF-Notch and BMP-Hedgehog signaling networks is important for the maintenance of homoestasis among stem and progenitor cells. Disruption of the stem cell signaling network results in pathological conditions, such as congenital diseases and cancer.

With 5,669 people spending at least one day at the Greater Columbus Convention Center, the 2002 edition of the Percussive Arts Society International Convention held in Columbus, OH, November 13-16 was the second-best-attended convention in the Society's history (after PASIC 2000 in Dallas, TX).
Events covered all of the percussive arts — from orchestral to African, from drumset to drum circles — but marching percussion was prominently featured throughout the convention. In addition to clinics by some of the leading authorities from the drum corps activity and contests open to high school and college students from across the country, one of the highlights of the entire PASIC was The Drummer's Heritage Concert November 14.
Organized and directed by Robin Engelman, a founding member of the NEXUS percussion ensemble that was inducted into the PAS Hall of Fame in 1999, this event brought together literally hundreds of marching percussionists from all genres of rudimental drumming in an incredible program that lasted almost three hours.
Ensembles that performed included the Colonial Williamsburg Fifes and Drums (representing drumming from the revolutionary war era), Camp Chase Fifes and Drums (capturing the essence of mid-19th century drumming), the Peel Regional Police Drum Corps (a pipe band corps based in Brampton, Ontario), the show band style of drumming represented by the Bethune-Cookman College Marching Wildcats Drum Line, CADRE (Canadian Associates Drumming Rudimental Excellence), the Oak Village Middle School Marching Percussion Ensemble (from Houston, TX) and the 13-time PASIC College Division Champion the University of North Texas Drum Line.
As if that weren't eventful enough, the amazing ensemble performances were interspersed with some of the finest rudimental soloists from around the world: Nick Attanasio, the 80-year-young rudimental bass drum champion, (accompanied by snare drummers Dominick Cuccia and Therese Rock-Cuccia); 2002 PAS Hall of Fame inductee John S. Pratt; Jim Kilpatrick, the Scottish drumming champion with more world titles to his name than anyone else; Alfonse Grieder, the "Ambassador of Basel Drumming" from Switzerland (who was also accompanied by Americlique); Marty Hurley, known for his many years with Phantom Regiment and one of the finest rudimental drummers alive today; and Jeff Queen, one of the snare drum soloists from the original London and Broadway casts of "BLAST!."
Hearing the six soloists play The Downfall of Paris was one of the early highlights of the concert, to be topped off by a finale featuring all of the evening's performers, nearly 300 "field" musicians — plus NEXUS — playing a long roll and Three Camps. Almost 2000 people overflowed the hall for this historic concert, which was hosted by DCI Hall of Famer Dennis DeLucia as the eloquent master of ceremonies. Special thanks also go to Artistic Consultants Ray Dillard and Paul Rennick for assisting Engelman in this once-in-a-lifetime event.
The other "high point" of the marching events in Columbus was the 20th anniversary of the first PAS Marching Percussion Festival, held November 15. The University of North Texas Drum line won the college division for the 13th time with a score of 95.0 while Iowa State University won the college small ensemble division with an 84.5. There were three categories for high schools. Colleyville Heritage High School (Colleyville, TX) won the high school drum line division with an 89.2; McIntosh High School (Peachtree City, GA) won the high school standstill division with an 80.5; and the high school small ensemble went to Penn High School (Mishawaka, IN) with a 74.8.
Neil Larrivee and Tom Aungst from The Cadets gave a clinic on "The Principals of Effective and Successful Programming for Indoor Marching Percussion"; Matt Savage gave a master calls on "A Savage Rudimental Workshop"; Colin McNutt from Magic of Orlando gave a marching percussion clinic; the Swiss style of drumming was covered in a clinic by Alfonse Grieder (and Americlique); a master class on "Snare Drum Interpretation/Technique Exchange" was given by Mitch Markovich; and there was a concert by the always entertaining marching trio Hip Pickles (Chet Doboe, Chris Scherer and Jeremy Fischer).
In addition to all of these outstanding marching percussion events, there were other memorable performances in Columbus: the PASIC premiere of Ney Rosauro's second marimba concerto (with the composer as soloist accompanied by the University of Miami Percussion Ensemble); the U.S. premiere of She-e Wu's "Blue Identity" for marimba and percussion ensemble (with the composer as soloist, accompanied by the percussion ensemble of Conservatoire Supérieur de Paris-CNR); concerts by NEXUS (performing works of Steve Reich) and the Dave Weckl Band; and another historic concert — the Drummers of Woody Herman featuring Don Lamond, Jake Hanna, Ed Soph, Joe La Barbera, Steve Houghton, Jeff Hamilton, John Riley and Jim Rupp. And this was just the tip of the percussive iceberg!

Largest Graduating Class at Reichert House Youth Academy
GAINESVILLE - Tonight was the Reichert House Youth Academy's largest class of graduates yet, with more than 40 boys in the 5th, 8th, and 12th grades walking across the stage.
We spoke to some of the graduates who are nervous about taking the next step and leaving the program behind.
One of those seniors, Tracy Williams, attends Eastside High School and has been in the program since he was in the 6th grade.
He's attending Florida Atlantic University after he graduates.
In his speech to the graduates he said that he did not want to be a statistic, and they shouldn't either.
So we sat down with Williams, another graduating senior and an 8th grader who all told us the future is a mystery, but the best is yet to come.
Tracy Williams, Senior - "It's a great experience but its kinda scary too knowing that im going to be on my own in a couple of weeks so I will just wait and see what happens."
Bosie Jackson, Senior - "The Reichert House always tell me to motivate myself push myself harder to succeed and as along as you believe that you can do you can do it."
Eyner Anteliz, 8th grade - "They help me improve my schoolwork, improve my behavior and everything so im going to stick with Reichert House."
At the graduation, former Reichert House graduates came back to show their successes in college, and to share how they made it through.

Kudos to NHL GameCenter!
NHL again leading the way in terms of live online broadcasts... As of right now, you can purchase all NHL games this season for only $50 (that's €39 for me) at:
That's a great deal, considering you get to see all games, regular season and play-offs, both live or from full-length replays. Both on regular computers, as well as on tablets or smart-phones. Everything in HD.
Compared to last year, NHL has now even added PayPal as a payment option. :handclap: And so, subscribing took 2 button presses for me, and was done in a few seconds. That's how things should be!
Next to that, the KHL's video site is a nightmare. Still no PayPal. And they're so clueless they are still selling "the entire season" subscription for the original full price from September, with only 9 or 10 games left in the regular season. :thumbd: Can they get any more clueless? I talked to KHL tech support about this about a month ago, and they said they would consider adjusting the price. Well, what are you waiting for? :shakehead It's mid-January, and you expect anyone to buy a season subscription for the (very high) original September full price? By the way, good luck finding those subscription options at http://video.khl.ru/live. The site is a mess. :thumbd:
I'm afraid the KHL will simply not get this right before the 2012/13 season runs out.
Also, it appears not all games are offered live, which is unacceptable. I'd like to purchase the Astana vs. Slovan game next Tuesday, but it's not on the menu. What will happen to those KHL.ru subscribers that had bought the "All Slovan Games" subscription back in September? Will they now be cheated out of watching a very important Slovan away game?
I agree, KHL is horrible with this. But I believe it will get better over time, the league is still young and this is the first year with 2 non-Russian speaking countries (and relatively western countries, from Russian POV). They just have to get used to it. Their youtube channel, for example, has improved a lot over the last season.
Agreed. The growing pains can be frustrating at times. One can only hope that the progress The KHL has made in such little time will continue. I think this year the KHL took a big step forward with its embrace of social media, youtube and leaps into transitioning to HD for all the games. Offering games online is also a step in the right direction, but obviously there is a hiccup or two there. As a person who remembers the RSL and all that was just a few years ago, both on ice and behind the scenes, I am optimistic in the direction things are going. That said we can't be complacent. As more European teams join, their unique perspective on business and media will only help us. Hopefully we will get some German teams in the KHL soon. While we Russians have big ideas and the courage to bring them to fruition, those guys sure know how to run things the right way. A league encompassing the characteristics of Slavic Courage, German Efficiency, Scandinavian Pragmatism, and an Italian eye for style will be a thing to behold.
As to that missing broadcast from Astana, something similar was happening last night. I was keeping an eye on onhockey.ru during the Barys vs. CSKA debacle. The game started out with 2 "text broadcasts" :rant:, but in the course of the game, picture was added, heaven knows from what TV channel. Yugra vs. Slovan was shown from Ukrainian (!) TV.
It's too bad that even when I'm ready to pay for the Astana vs. Slovan broadcast on Tuesday, I can't do it and will be forced to hang around pirate websites instead. The game is shown on no TV channel here, either, not even those obscure Czech sports channels where the KHL is hidden in Slovakia throughout the season.
Yes, great commentary by both guys.
It was the first time in my life that I was able to listen to the Ukrainian language for an extended period of time, and it was certainly interesting. I was able to understand almost everything.
Ukrainian sounds like a variety of Russian, but with "Slovak" words thrown in. :laugh: For example, I noticed that the Ukrainian word for "but" is the same as in Slovak ("ale"), whereas in Russian it's "но". Also, in Ukrainian, the word for "penalty" (player being sent off) is the same as in Slovak ("vyl�čenie"), whereas it's "штраф" or "наказан" in Russian. "Штраф" sounds pretty funny to me -- whenever I hear that, I must think of Charlie Chaplin in The Great Dictator. :D
With Russian commentary, I can understand like 60%. With Ukrainian, it was about 90%.
As for penalty, from the Russian games that I've watched, I got the feeling that it's "udalenie".
As for Slovak/Ukrainian/Russia, I guess you could say that there�s somewhat of a continuum between the West and East Slavic languages. Slovak goes to Rusyn which goes to Ukrainian which goes to Russian...
Yep big Kudos to them, the NHL.com site has crashed, can't even watch any games :laugh:
Money well spent for me :)
Hehe... it was just a theoretical kudos on Day 1. :D Will be fine when they get it right. The Senators vs. Jets game had amazing, razor-sharp quality via Apple TV, but it's not the game I wanted to watch. The iPad app was down the whole evening, but it's back up & running now. I did slam the NHL in the GameCenter thread here, saying they were as bad (in fact, worse) as the KHL on Day 1.
The entire NHL.com was struggling, not just in terms of live video broadcasts. They weren't even properly updating the textual scoreboards (!!!) until the 2nd period of those first 3 games began, which I have never seen in my life on NHL.com before. The number of site visitors on opening night must have totally overwhelmed them.
And again, big kudos to the NHL for the price! I mean, only $50 (€39) for the entire season??? The KHL is totally overpriced compared to that, for no reason I can understand. The KHL would give you something like 2 months of live video broadcasts for $50. Maybe the NHL got lots more subscribers due to the low price than they had expected, and then they just couldn't handle them all.
Now, what about Grandpa J�gr with a 4-point night??? :amazed:
iPad app still not working, but watching Flyers @Sabres via Apple TV now, stunning, razor-sharp picture on a 46-inch TV set. I hope the KHL will get on Apple TV (that little box that looks like a hockey puck) soon! The Sabres have just scored, 1-0.
Also, out of curiosity, does the NHL Gamecenter show up on your apple tv when you have your location set to Slovakia or do you also have to change your location to US?
Yes, Flyers @Sabres works here in Slovakia via Apple TV.
The NHL app did not show up on Apple TV's home screen until I switched the iTunes Store's region to Canada. An embarrassing oversight on the part of NHL and/or Apple. Well, never mind.
Another bug is that only 8 out of yesterday's 13 games are available right now in full-length replays from Apple TV. Just another oversight, I hope. What's nice is that those NBC games from yesterday that were blacked out for us, are available now in full-length replays on Apple TV.
The blackouts for some live games are infuriating. :rant: I mean, there was a game that was blacked out at 3 am in the night in Europe! :amazed: :amazed: :amazed: Yeah, I can see the millions of people tuning in at 3 in the night all around Europe on a weekday, just to be able to watch a regular-season NHL game. The NHL is just as clueless as the KHL in some respects. :rant:
On the other hand, the Apple TV app is super-convenient. I wish KHL games would become available in this way, too. For example, it's 8 in the morning now, and 6 out of 9 games played in the night are already available in full-length replays on Apple TV, in razor-sharp HD quality. The 3 remaining games are sure to be added over the next few hours. All of that for only $50 for the entire season. :thumbu:
This would be very useful to have for the KHL, too. Just like NHL games have bad start times for Central Europeans, because they start at 1 am or 3 am in the middle of the night, so have many KHL games bad start times for Central Europeans, because they start in the middle of work days, when many people can't watch hockey. For example, the Barys vs. Slovan game yesterday started at 2 in the afternoon. :shakehead
It would be great if you could come home from work say at 6 pm, open your Apple TV (or iPad, regular laptop, whatever) and just launch that game from 2 pm, as if it was shown live in the evening. The one time I tried to do this this season, I got burned. khl.ru failed to make the full-length replay of the Slovan afternoon game available on their website -- there was nothing on khl.ru even in the late evening. I was ready to purchase the replay from khl.ru, but instead had to just read the game result from the webpage. :thumbd:
8:45 am in the morning in Central Europe, 8 out of 9 NHL games played in the night already available in full-length replays. :thumbu: That's what I call great service. Only the last game from Edmonton still to be added. I wish the KHL were this prompt with their full-length replays!
Come on dude, stop complaining :laugh: I know, criticism is the way to improve, but you are taking it to a whole new level :laugh:
I am not happy with the current KHL policies either (for many reasons, starting with the lack of broadcasts, inability to pay with non-Russian credit cards, absurdly bad camera work like the one in Astana...)
But they ARE improving, like I said, check their youtube channel for example and compare it to the channel they had just a couple of months ago. Give it some time, the league is still young.
Sorry, I see no improvements whatsoever in the KHL between September 2012 and January 2013. Not in terms of online broadcasts, not in terms of replays, and definitely not in terms of the YouTube channel. It's a total mess. I was looking for highlights of the Barys vs. Slovan game, at least, and of course they aren't there. Also, there's a total lack of organization in the KHL YouTube channel, so good luck finding a specific game there. Utter fail. :thumbd:
Thanks, that's better than nothing, but I wasn't looking for the super-shortened English-commentary clip.
I was looking for the "usual" (but not always, as we can see) 5-minute or 6-minute highlights clip, with original Russian (or no) commentary. And I still can't find it there. :amazed:
The organization in the KHL's YouTube channel is non-existent. Something reasonable would be, for example, setting up a "playlist" for every game day, so that you could easily locate a specific game. The way it's now, it's a total jumble of highlights of individual goals, hits, player interviews, Russian or English highlight clips all mixed up. :thumbd:
And even when everything fails, you can always just search the channel for games, like on any other youtube channel. I really don't see your problem with their YT.

Stunning ring!
I chose this ring as my wedding band to go along with my 2 3/4 ct black diamond engagement ring that my Fiance purchased from Overstock.com as well. I was a bit nervous to order this ring as I wasn't 100% sure this was the match for my engagement ring. I took my chances and ordered this ring. Upon delivery I really changed my mind. The ring is perfect! The band is comfortable both alone and with my engagement ring. And, it appears as 3 seprate bands, even though it is not. That was exactly the look I was going for.Read More

(CNSNews.com) – Two weeks after the world was horrified by the deaths of almost 300 people, killed when a Russian-made missile shot down a Boeing 777 over eastern Ukraine, Russia continues to shrug off accusations of at least indirect responsibility, while pointing a finger at the Ukraine government.
The U.S. and European Union (E.U.) have ratcheted up sanctions against Moscow, but President Vladimir Putin has responded as sanguinely to them as he did to earlier ones, imposed after he annexed Ukraine's Crimea region last March.
A U.S. intelligence assessment says Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was shot down on July 17 by pro-Russian separatists, likely using a SA-11 surface-to-air missile system and – according U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Samantha Power – possibly with Russian "technical assistance."
The Kremlin, however, continues to accuse Kiev.
Russia's U.N. ambassador, Vitaly Churkin, accused the Ukraine government of trying to "destroy evidence" that implicates it in the crash.
"We fear that the authorities in Kiev are pushed by a desire to destroy evidence, which points to their role in the Malaysian Airlines disaster," Churkin told the U.N. Security Council in New York on Wednesday.
He said Ukraine's military campaign against the separatists was violating a Security Council resolution, adopted on July 21, that calls for investigators to have unrestricted access to the site in order to conduct an impartial probe.
Churkin characterized Russia, by contrast, as cooperating fully with the investigation.
"We have handed over to international organizations, including the United Nations and the OSCE [Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe] our monitoring data of the [crash] area," he said. "We expect that others will act just as practically and constructively, instead of the spreading of unsubstantiated accusations and insinuations."
The separatists, who have been supported by Russia for months, continue to clash with Ukrainian forces trying to defeat them, preventing international investigators from carrying out a proper probe of the crash.
Fierce fighting prevented an OSCE mission and Dutch and Australian police and forensic specialists to travel to the site of the wreckage for most of this week. (The Netherlands had 195 nationals onboard the Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur flight, while 27 Australians died.)
Investigators were finally able to reach the crash site on Thursday, but even if allowed unfettered and safe access from now on, they are dealing with evidence which the separatists – the key suspects in the mass killing – had two weeks to trample, remove and contaminate.
The U.S. and E.U. this week imposed additional sanctions on Russia, in the case of the U.S. expanding measures targeting sectors of its economy, including three major banks and a defense firm.
The E.U., whose economic relationship with Russia dwarfs that of the U.S., imposed an arms embargo and banned the sale of some sensitive dual-use technology. The arms embargo, however, only applies to future sales, a decision designed to allow France to go ahead with an already-negotiated $1.7 billion deal to sell Mistral-class carriers to the Russians.
American Enterprise Institute scholar Leon Aron argued Thursday that the sanctions imposed on Russia "should not be oversold to the Western public."
"These sanctions are not going to sway Vladimir Putin in the short or perhaps even in the medium term," he wrote. "Retreat from Ukraine is not an option given the centrality of the Ukraine war to the legitimacy of the Russian regime, Putin's plans for a presidency-for-life, and the very effective monopolistic propaganda campaign.
"Instead, expect bluster and 'doubling-down' in Putin's proxy war in southeast Ukraine, including more 'volunteers' and heavy combat equipment from Russia," Aron predicted.

So true, sometimes I think the seat companies and car companies are working together. The car companies want the seats bigger so they can get us to go to the larger more expensive cars. But I remember when I was a kid riding in the front seat of a car and riding a bike without a helmet, oh the good old days.

ATHENS, Ga. - For the second match in a row, Tennessee freshman Eve Repic will face off against Abigail Tere-Apisah of Georgia State, this time in the NCAA Singles Championship First Round.
Repic and Tere-Apisah will square off at 10 a.m. Wednesday morning.
The twosome last met in the first round of the NCAA Team Tournament on May 9. No. 22 ranked Tere-Apisah got the better of Repic with a 6-2, 6-0 win.
Repic, who was named a second alternate to the NCAA Tournament field during the selection show, earned a spot in the field of 64 last Wednesday.
The Oakville, Ontario native enters the tournament ranked No. 61 in the nation. This postseason she was named to the All-SEC Second Team and SEC All-Freshman Team and earned ITA Ohio Valley Regional Rookie of the Year honors.
Entering competition, Repic has tallied a 22-13 singles record, 13-10 in dual match action with all of her matches coming from the No. 1 spot. She is 8-8 against ranked opponents in 2013-14.

If you're a hardcore Twitter user, then you're going to love this giveaway. We're teaming up with iOS developer Moeseth to give away five licenses each of two of Moeseth's most popular jailbreak tweaks for Twitter – TwitkaFly, a $1.99 value, and Infinite Tweet, a 99¢ value. That's a total of ten jailbreak tweak licenses. Both tweaks enhance the user's ability to interact with Twitter and the people they follow. They also come with a ton of options for the user to configure so that you get the best experience possible by making the tweaks function the way you want them to.
TwitkaFly – $1.99
TwitkaFly is a tweak that gives you the ability to compose Tweets and reply to your followers that mention you on the fly. It is used with Activator, a free application by Ryan Petrich, so you can invoke an Activator action to bring up the TwitkaFly interface to send your Tweet off to Twitter. TwitkaFly includes a quick-composition button in the bottom left of Notification Center – tapping on this icon will pull up the same interface that invoking your chosen Activator action will bring up. The interface allows you to attach photographs from your Camera Roll or select certain people to mention. Apart from that, you are typing your message in the available text field and tapping the Tweet button to Tweet it.
From the preferences pane included with TwitkaFly, you will need to link your Twitter account with the application so it knows what account to post Tweets to. It includes Facebook functionality; a separate plugin package is available on Cydia so you can post on Facebook as well as Twitter. You will also need to link TwitkaFly to your Facebook account only if you want to use TwitkaFly to post on Facebook. You will be able to choose the Twitter application you want to use Twitkafly with since it is compatible with the following four Twitter clients: the stock Twitter application, Tweetbot, Tweetings, and Echofon.
Apart from the sign-in services, you can customize some options of TwitkaFly's functionality as well. You can:
- Choose your Activator actions
- Choose to hide or show the Notification Center button
- Choose between a variety of notification icons
- Enable or disable auto-correct
- Show a music button for sharing what you are currently playing
- Choose a sound that will play when you send a Tweet
- Choose how to exit the TwitkaFly interface
- Whitelist or blacklist Twitter users
Infinite Tweet – 99¢
Infinite Tweet is another jailbreak tweak by Moeseth attempting to enhance usability of Twitter on iOS. It allows you to Tweet longer than 140 characters on your favorite Twitter client for iOS by automatically expanding your Tweets with expander services such as Twitlonger and it comes with a t.co auto-expander and translator for when you are reading other people's links and an Instagram viewer so you can see people's Instagram photographs easily from your Twitter feed. The tweak works with the stock Twitter application, Tweetbot, and Echofon. In addition to being able to Tweet longer, the tweak also includes the ability to share the music you are listening to on your iOS device in your Tweets.
Both tweaks are great personal tools for Twitter and work on iOS 5 on the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.
For a chance to win one of five copies of each application, complete as much of the widget below as you can:

Gerrymandering is the root cause of our governmental breakdown in recent years. With the advance of computer science, gerrymandering has been brought down to the neighborhood level. Gerrymandering has brought about serious negative consequences to our political process. Political wishes of our citizens are not represented in our legislatures, both statewide and nationally. Gerrymandering brings about the election of representatives from one-party districts with extreme views.
When these representatives get together, they are unwilling to compromise and the political process comes to a stop.
Let us review the last three congressional redistrictings in Pennsylvania. Just before the 1990 redistricting, the Pennsylvania congressional delegation was made up of 12 Democrats and 11 Republicans. Because of the 1990 census, Pennsylvania lost two congressional seats. The Democrats held a small party registration lead. State government was divided, with a Democratic governor, a Democratic House and a Republican Senate. With divided government, a compromise plan was adopted. The result after the 1992 election: 11 Democrats and 10 Republicans.
Again with the 2000 census, Pennsylvania lost two congressional seats. This time, in 2000, we had one-party rule in Harrisburg. The Republicans controlled the governorship and both the House and Senate. The Democrats had a 486,000 party registration lead. With the 2000 redistricting plan and 2002 election, the new state delegation became 14 Republicans and five Democrats.
In 2010, Pennsylvania lost one congressional seat. The Democrats held a 1,179,000 registration lead. The result of the 2012 election: 13 Republicans and five Democrats.
With gerrymandering across the country, we will have continuing gridlock in Washington. Redistricting must be made nonpartisan; otherwise America is deep trouble.

Kickstarter - Fields of Fresh
This one is from left-field but who knows what people might like? Nathan writes in with his Kickstarter for a farming RPG called Fields of Fresh. They are only asking for $1000 and here's the intro:
Um… That's a Farmville or what?
My bonus from work is gradually being eaten up by all these gaming developers I want to help out via Kickstarter. It's really not the type of game I would play but it is an earnest effort and they ain't asking for much so thanks for the heads up.
This is cool. They're the origin of Rune Factory, which is the more-traditional-RPG version of the same game. There have been a ton of variations, but HM is not usually an RPG in the sense of building a character's stats, more of playing a role in a slightly reactive town. The tricky part will be outdoing RF. Of course a throwback to Harvest Moon is nice, too, but the games are so well-explored (some might say over-released), you really have to bring a lot of customization to make it fresh. HM is the granddaddy of a whole bunch of subgenres, in a way. Social farming games, dating sims, and cheerful town simulators like Animal Crossing share a lot of the style as well. Thanks for the link.

Hey Fetts,
I'm having a problem. I used epoxy and glued the half of the male snaps to the inside of my armor parts. Then, I made several female ends to test them. None of them will snap into the male end. I even took an old t-shirt and built the female snap into it then tred to snap the male snap into it. It's not working! I tried to use the little tool that came with the snaps that once put together you just wack it with a hammer to put the snap together. It wasn't working well, so I just used my button maker that looks like a clamp device that you just squeeze together. That at least worked enough to make the female snap. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Could anyone tell me? Thanks.

Social life at Queen Mary University of London
There's a sense of immediacy in London. You can make plans with friends and then within 15 minutes you're there.
Joe Hayling, Physics student
One of the most striking things about Queen Mary is our campus. It's the largest self-contained student campus in central London, and only 15 minutes by tube from the Oxford Street, Covent Garden and the rest of the West End.
As one of the world's most exciting cities, London is a great place for students. There are so many things going on – many of them free – that you are very unlikely to ever be bored.
Your time at university is a great opportunity to meet people, try new things, and develop your interests, for example by playing sports and taking part in theatre productions.
What's more, you have a world-class city to explore - from art galleries and museums to bars and music venues.
Taking up opportunities of the kind offered by Provide, the student volunteering programme may even make you more attractive to potential employers. It also offers valuable life experience. Developing your skills and exploring your interests is an important supplement to your academic qualifications. It will help you decide what kind of career you want to pursue when you graduate.


text: It has been millennia since humans lived primarily in caves. Most people don't think much about it from day to day, but we invest most of our lives in spaces, places, and neighborhoods that are intentionally planned, designed, and built. And whether we realize it or not, these structures and landscapes, local communities, and virtual environments influence who we are, what we can become, and how we interact. Thinking about it that way makes clear the importance of the work being done by Ball State's College of Architecture and Planning and its graduates. The world needs professional designers and planners who are intelligent, creative, and technically skilled, but also sensitive to the social, financial, political, environmental, international, and historical considerations that shape the future. Since 1966, our college has built an international reputation for excellence and innovation. It's work that bursts from textbook pages and classrooms into the real world—design concepts are developed into actual projects in real communities, and creative, ambitious students prepare for exciting careers. We are devoted to the humane, functional, and aesthetic design of the physical environment, along with top-quality education, research, and public service. Among our primary areas of focus are:

There are good ways to start your NFL career, and there are bad ways. Rams rookie cornerback Trumaine Johnson knows about the bad ways.
The third-round draft pick reached a contract agreement with the team on Tuesday, which made him eligible to join the team at training camp on Wednesday. But Johnson couldn't make it in time for his first official practice because of a regrettable turn of events in his hometown of Stockton, Calif.
"I set my alarm clock," Johnson said, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "I didn't hear it. I missed my flight. I messed up."
Chalk it up as a rookie mistake. The good news is Johnson won't be fined by coach Jeff Fisher for his tardiness. Rams rookie camp is all that's taking place right now, and missing one day of that isn't as bad as missing a day of full-squad practice, which starts on Sunday. But still, you have to think Johnson regrets things starting off like this. Let's just hope he used the extra time wisely and remembered to bring a TV.

It's been more than a week since Superstorm Sandy touched down on the East Coast, causing massive damage to homes, property and halting business productivity. But throughout it all, disaster relief organizations such as the Red Cross, Salvation Army, United Way and the AARP Foundation, continue to see an outpour of donations from major corporations and the private sector.
The Red Cross alone has raised $145 million which is $136 million more than what was raised during Hurricane Isaac, another storm that hit the Gulf Coast earlier this year.

News & Newsletters » 2011 News Archive » Warren Tate Honour
Otago Daily Times
Internationally respected biochemist Prof Warren Tate, who last year won the Royal Society of New Zealand's top science honour, is "humbled" to be also named a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit.
Prof Tate (64), of the University of Otago biochemistry department, said gaining the society's Rutherford Medal had since proved positive, by helping provide an audience when he had been talking about science issues to the wider community.
He was also pleased to receive the Queen's Birthday Honour but was well aware "many people in the community do wonderful things and their efforts are not rewarded".
He believed this honour reflected his broader contribution to science, including efforts to communicate about it more widely, such as through several public talks he had previously given on genetic modification.
"Obviously, it's an honour to feel that my contribution to New Zealand science has been rewarded in this broader way," he said.
He did not expect community awards for simply doing his science work at the university.
"That's my job and I get paid for it."
His honour citation noted that Prof Tate was a molecular biologist, whose research had "revolutionised understanding" of how proteins were synthesised in living cells.
His research had shown how proteins contributed to memory formation and neurological disease, and had important implications for HIV, Alzheimer's and chronic fatigue syndrome.
Well-known for his energetic teaching, he had inspired many young scientists to pursue successful research careers, the citation said.
A long-standing member of the City of Dunedin Choir, Prof Tate has been a Fellow of the Alexander Humboldt Foundation of Germany, and an International Research Scholar of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute of the United States.

Genesis - sins of the fathers.
Jesus Puppy
2/08/2007 / Poetry
Sing your praise to the Lord's Anointed, all you people,
From the beginning He took your shame upon Himself,
Before Cain, yea even from Eden, His blessed garden,
...He has covered the shame of man.
In the evening He came, to walk in His creation,
And behold, you hid from His glory for shame.
He looked upon the shadow of your deceit,
...and yet called to you in love.
Why, O man, did you fall prey to the enemy's lie,
Did thou, in greed, seek better than the Lord's blessing?
Even as the enemy was cast down, O man,
..so has man fallen from thy Father's bosom.
Yet should you praise Him, O fallen man,
...He did yet cover thy shame.
He yet sought to bring thee into His presence,
So moved, by the darkness of the waters of thy heart,
He yet sought thy freedom from sin and shame.
In love, He slew the first fatted ram,
...that covered thy naked form.
Praise Him, all you people, His mercy is great,
In anger of your rejection, He cast judgment on earth,
...cursing the ground for your sake.
Yet again your shame came upon you, O man
For in greed of thy Lord's favored blessing,
...you have killed thy brother in hate.
How far have you fallen in shame, O man
Down you have fallen from His loving grace,
...even to the depth of the pit.
And still the seed of thy shame grew, O man,
Until your every thought and imagination was evil,
And wickedness was continually in your heart,
...shame, thrown up in the face of God.
Tears of grief, He rained down from the heavens,
The fountains of the deep he raised up,
...to cleanse the curse from the world.
Praise Him all the more, you people of earth,
He sought not to destroy you all, in His anger,
But rather the gracious He set aside,
...redeemed from a sin sick world.
Yet your seed you brought along with you,
To darken a freshly cleansed world.
Why, O depraved man, do you relish your sin,
...search out the very shadow of His love.
You tried yet again, your own pride sustaining,
To equal thyself unto the holy God above all,
Reaching out to heaven with thy own hand.
In confusion you fell in your shame that day,
...scattered on the winds of the world.
Yet praise Him you should, misguided man,
For His mercy restrained His great wrath,
He sought through you, each man's heart explored,
Seeking His grace in unworthy man,
...a friend for His heart's own joy.
He brought the one from the land of his father's,
To a home in a land he would never own.
He raised him before all the people of earth,
That His kingdom would grow from this one.
He made him to believe, in the word of His truth,
...when old, his child He did see.
The Lord, in mercy, his children He raised,
Teaching His word and His ways.
He showed them the captivity of man, by shame,
He taught you, O man, of His redeeming love,
...the joy of the captive set free.
Yet you did not seek to praise your God,
But formed yourselves idols of gold to serve,
Bowing as the harlot before a stone.
You misbegotten world, how quickly you turn,
...from blessings greatly bestowed.
In His doom on the enemy, you went untouched,
Through the waters, you walked on dry ground.
From His judgment called down on the darkened world,
You were spared the destruction that comes.
Yet did you praise your God and King, O unworthy man,
Again you took up thy shameful seed,
...to fall in the dessert's cold sands.
Praise you the Lord, all you people of earth,
For His day is soon near to hand.
The blessed shall yet enter His holy valley,
Upon the promised land we shall live in peace,
His greatest blessing we shall yet behold,
...the Lord's army comes forth to stand.

Three "Local Legends" in the Twin Cities
For many, a significant part of honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy each Martin Luther King Day holiday is to mark the day through community service.
One of my favorite quotations from King is:
"If you want to be important, wonderful. If you want to be recognized, wonderful. If you want to be great, wonderful. But recognize that he who is greatest among you, shall be your servant. That's a new definition of greatness."
Each year during the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday Breakfast in Minneapolis, the event's planning committee honors three people who are actively involved in their communities, demonstrating King's dedication to nonviolent social change and service.
This was my sixth year on the planning committee for the annual event, and I'm always incredibly moved to learn about the amazing dedication the winners have to improving our community.
The 2013 Local Legend winners are Warren Bowles, a veteran actor and director; Eric Mahmoud, chief executive officer of Harvest Prep Academy; and John Turnipseed, Director of the Center for Fathering.
See their inspiring stories in this video.
The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday Breakfast is a 23-year Twin Cities tradition and partnership between UNCF and the General Mills Foundation. Nearly 2,000 people attended this year's sold-out event at the Minneapolis Convention Center, which was also broadcast live on TPT. If you're in Minnesota, and you missed it, check TPT.org for rebroadcast times.
Learn more by reading this blog post recapping the event or by visiting MLKBreakfast.org.

I write them for myself so I won't forget the details when I tell my grandchildren about you, and the crazy ride that was Drupal. That is why for me, technologies like Twitter and Facebook, won't replace blogging -- they complement blogging. I predict that I'll continue to blog in 2010, whether you like it or not.
All in all, I've never worked harder than in 2009. 14 hour work days were standard, and I traveled almost 100,000 miles (160,000 km).
It paid off because 2009 was a year of growth. Drupal grew, Acquia grew, Mollom grew. The Drupal Association matured, and with the birth of Stan, my family grew. I met a lot new people, and learned many new things about both technology and business. There was a lot of personal growth in 2009. I pushed my boundaries and those of many of my peers.
Unfortunately, 2009 saw some regressions also. I virtually stopped doing any sports and I've been taking fewer pictures. To some extent, I inadequately addressed the growth of our family -- Stan is still sleeping in our bedroom because we don't have a spare room in our apartment, and our 8 year old car broke down on several occasions and is way too small for us as a family. Both need upgrading. And, with a growing network of people, it is hard to stay in touch with all your friends. Long story short, you can probably guess several of my 2010 resolutions.
But, on days like today, when looking back at the past year, I am reminded of how lucky I am. 2009 was been a great year, and I'd like to thank all of you who have been part of it. You're my dream team.
Thanks for your hard work. I hope you will find the right "work-sparetime-ballance" in 2010 ... and a great setup/peers for video conferencing :)
Best regards, Dirk
Happy New Year, dude!
That work / life balance is tricky - but here's hoping you're able to find it in 2010. Take lots of pics of Axl & Stan, because - trust me - they grow up quickly.
Good luck with a new place, new car and a rockin' new year!
Thanks a lot for your hard work on Drupal and good luck in 2010 ... along with a very happy new year from me (although a little bit late)
Great respect to all your hard work for the community.
Hope you can catch up with the 'downsides': they matter too much to be left alone.
Your retrospective also gives great insights, hartelijk dank!
Kind Regards
we are indeed very very fortunate to have you as head of the Drupal community. And like Dirk I wish you wholehearted to find a working balance between all your loves.
Your blog remains the best way to keep up with events in your and Karlijn's life. Hope the choices bring that balance (and more frequent calls) about.
Respect for all the hard work, Dries :) It's inspiring!

We tested dozens of website builders to see which one would be best for small business owners, and we decided that Weebly, Wix, and WordPress are the top three options. We chose these three because they are very popular, and represent a wide range of features. The main areas that we will focus on in this article are price, ease of use, functionality, and customer service. Read on for our top picks for best website builder.
Best Website Builder For Small Business Owners: Weebly
We recommend Weebly because it is inexpensive, the most intuitive, and has a great selection of features. Also, Weebly's customer service is helpful and responsive. You can try Weebly for free, though we recommend their $12/month Pro Plan for most small businesses.

These website builders are the top options for small businesses that need a relatively inexpensive and easy way to create a do it yourself (DIY) website. If you need a website for a different reason, read one of our other buyer's guides:
- Best Ecommerce Platforms: If the main purpose of your website is to sell products online, you will probably want to opt for a dedicated e-commerce platform. In this guide we compare three top e-commerce website builders: Shopify, Zoey, and BigCommerce.
- Best Blogging Sites: If you're going to use your website mainly for publishing blog posts, you might want to consider posting on a site with a built in social network or one that allows you to monetize your content. This article goes over all the considerations you should take when choosing a blog platform.
- Best Real Estate Website Builders: If you're a real estate agent, then you'll want your website to capture leads and integrate with your MLS/IDX provider. The three builders in this guide, Zillow Websites, Placester, and WebsiteBox, offer this and much more.
Best Website Builder for Small Business Owners: Weebly
Weebly is the most intuitive website builder I tested. You can drag-and-drop text boxes, images, and any other elements to anywhere on the page, edit size and style of any section, and more after only a few minutes of getting used to the system.
The other nice thing about Weebly is its scalability. This means that your Weebly website can grow and expand as your business grows. You can upgrade your plan at any point, and Weebly offers plenty of integrations if you need a third party add-on (such as PayPal or Google Apps). You can also easily switch between Weebly templates if you want to change the look of your website.
We recommend Weebly's Pro Plan for most small business owners. It only costs $12 a month and gives you unlimited pages, advanced site analysis, site-search capability, and the option to sell up to 25 products. When you pair all of this with good customer service (including phone support), 100+ themes that can be customized to fit almost any business, and a search engine-friendly platform, Weebly is hard to beat.
The only con is that Weebly is not quite as customizable as some website platforms, including WordPress. However, Weebly is much easier to use, which is why we recommend it for most small business owners.
Best for Customization: WordPress (Divi)
WordPress is a content management system, and anyone can use WordPress to create a website for free. It is much more customizable than traditional website builders such as Weebly or Wix, and there are thousands of available plugins so the possibilities for a WordPress site are virtually endless.
However, this comes with a steeper learning curve. Weebly and Wix offer out-of-the-box ready websites with everything that you need to get started included in one neat package. With WordPress, you have to set up hosting and domain through a third party service. One option is to use Bluehost to get hosting, a custom domain, and business email. It's $2.95 per month or less. View our guide on how to create a WordPress site using BlueHost.
You can then add to your WordPress website by downloading themes and plugins. A theme modifies the look of the website, while plugins add to the functionality of the site. Our favorite and recommended theme is Divi, which is a website builder that gives you the ability to create a website on WordPress with drag-and-drop templates.
If you are fairly good with technology, you can give Divi for WordPress a crack. They have a 30-day refund guarantee, so you can try it out risk free.
Another Website Builder Option: Wix
Wix is one of the easiest and most popular website builders on the market today, which is why we included it in this guide. However, there are a few key factors that keep it from being our recommended website builder for small business owners.
- Slow loading times – Since you can drag-and-drop anything anywhere, Wix sites generally have pretty jumbled coding, which means slower loading times for your site. It also uses AJAX generated coding, which means that URLs with hashbangs (#!) are automatically redirected to "clean" URLs (ex: website.com/contact). Though this redirect allows you to have control over how your URLs look, it could have an affect on loading times.
- Limited access to the HTML – This is not a problem if you don't want to touch code, but it also keeps you from having full control over your website. Wix allows you to embed HTML code onto your site, but you cannot access or edit your site's HTML or CSS as a whole. This means you won't be able to hire a website professionals who knows custom coding to make small changes to your website's HTML code.
- No built in comments feature for your Wix blog – If you are using your website for blogging purposes, the Wix blog does not come with a built in comments feature. Therefore, someone has to be logged into Facebook in order to leave a comment which could discourage people from commenting on your blog posts.
Many people have Wix websites and have great things to say about the builder. I do think that it is successful for its intended purpose, which is to quickly create a nice looking website. However, for the reasons listed above, we recommend small business owners go with Weebly or WordPress.
In-Depth Comparison: Weebly vs. Wix vs. WordPress
Your business website is extremely important, especially since over 80% of shoppers are researching online before visiting local stores. That's why we recommend the middle-tier plan from each website builder. We believe that most small business owners will have enough functionality at this level. However, if you plan to sell products via your website, then we recommend the next level up.
Here are the costs of the recommended plans for small business owners with and without an ecommerce store:
|Cost for Recommended Plan
|$12/month (Pro Plan)
|$14/month (Unlimited Plan)
|$69 one-time fee (Personal Package)
|Features of Recommended Plan
|Unlimited pages, no Weebly ads, 1 year free domain, in-depth site reporting, site-search capability, unlimited storage, membership, sell up to 25 ecommerce products (3% transaction fee), blog
|Unlimited pages, no Wix ads, 1 year free domain, in-depth site reporting, site-search capability, 10GB storage, blog
|Unlimited pages, unlimited website usage (can use the theme on multiple websites), 1 year of support and updates
|Cost for eCommerce Plan (if you sell products online)
|$25/month (Business Plan)
|$17/month (eCommerce Plan)
|Add on WooCommerce plugin to recommended plan for free
|Features of eCommerce Plan
|No additional transaction fee, unlimited products, shipping and tax calculator, SSL security
|No additional transaction fees, tax and shipping calculators, product pages for each product
|WooCommerce is free and compatible with the Divi theme. With over 1 million downloads, WooCommerce powers 30% of all online stores.
|Additional Costs
|$19.95/year to renew custom domain name and approx. $4/mo for email
|$19.95/year to renew custom domain name and approx. $4/mo for email
|$2.95/month or less for Bluehost includes hosting, domain and email
|Pricing Charts
All Pricing Options
All of the website builders offer multiple pricing plans, including a free option. However, it's important to pay for a plan in order to have a professional looking website. Below is a brief overview of all of the plans each website builder offers.
|Free plan- $0
|Free plan - $0
|No premium theme - $0
|Starter plan - $8 per month
|Connect domain - $5 per month
|Divi Personal - $69 per year
|Pro plan - $12 per month

|Business plan - $25 per month
|Unlimited plan - $14 per month
|Divi Lifetime access- $249 one time
|Performance plan - $40 per month
|eCommerce plan - $16 per month
|VIP plan - $25 per month
Ease of Use
For ease of use, Weebly and Wix are neck-and-neck, with Wix having a bit of an edge. WordPress allows infinitely more customization that the other two, but is also quite a bit more difficult to use.
Hosting and Custom Domain
When you create a website, you need a place for your website to be stored, which is known as hosting. You also need a name for your website that people can type in when they want to view your site. This is called the domain. A custom domain is when your site has a name that you choose, such as www.yourbusiness.com.
Number and Quality of Layouts
The layout/template refers to the look of your website. Wix has the most pre-made templates, with Weebly coming in second. Divi has fewer ready made templates, but the ones they do have are fully customizable, so there are infinite possibilities.
SEO and Mobile Friendliness
Search engine optimization (SEO) is important if you want your website to rank on the search engine results page when a user searches for your type of business. Having an SEO friendly site means that search engines such as Google can easily read the contents of your website in order to determine what your site should rank for.
It is also important that your website is responsive. This means that the pages of your website adjust automatically depending on whether it is being viewed on a mobile device, tablet, or desktop.
When it comes to which builder is best for SEO and mobile friendliness, Weebly and Divi are neck-and-neck, as both allow full SEO customization and responsively adjust to screen size, from desktop to mobile. Wix has responsive templates and a nice mobile editor as well, but falls short when it comes to SEO friendliness.
Online Store (E-commerce)
When it comes to selling online, all three website builders have solid online store options. I would give Weebly the edge, because it has the ability to sell digital goods which Wix does not without a third-party app (additional cost). Divi, being only a builder, does not have a built-in e-commerce solution, but directly integrates with WooCommerce, one of the best online store apps in the industry that was built directly for WordPress.
When it comes to blogging, Divi is the hands-down winner. It is a WordPress theme, and WordPress is a dedicated blogging platform. Weebly comes in at a close second. Wix is also good, but inexplicably does not have a built-in comment feature, meaning your readers have to be logged into Facebook or some other platform to comment.
Business Email
A business email address typically contains your business name (ex: email@example.com). It's important to have a business email address if you want to appear credible with customers or other people you are emailing. None of the options have a business email built into the price, but you can easily create one with all three options.
Plus, there are ways to work around paying for your business email address. Learn where you can get a free business email address here.
Primary Integrations and HTML Coding Access
There are thousands of website applications out there. These add-ons increase the functionality of your website by integrating, for example, an app that allows you to process payment or allows people to subscribe to your newsletter directly on your website. Weebly and Wix both have around 200 free and premium apps that can be downloaded from their "marketplace" and integrated on your website. WordPress has thousands of integrations that can used on the platform.
HTML coding access refers to whether or not you have access to the HTML code that makes up the website. If you don't want to touch the code and have no knowledge of HTML, then having access won't really be a big deal to you. However, it's nice to know you can hire a website designer if you ever need help with adjusting the code of your website. Weebly and WordPress both allow access to the HTML code. Wix restricts access, making it a platform that is avoided by professional designers.
Customer Support
Weebly's customer support is rated very highly by our reviewers. Divi is similar, garnering lots of positive reviews for their customer support from users. Wix can be pretty hit or miss, from the reviews and experience I have had.
Top Website Builders
Weebly, Wix, and WordPress represent a wide range of functionalities from the best website builders. However, if you don't see what you want from one of the three above, here is a list of all the popular builders that we have reviewed.
|Best For
|Most Small Business Owners
|Weebly is a super intuitive drag and drop website builder that is perfect for website novices. You can create a fully functional website very quickly, plus you have access to the code if you want to make the site more customized.
|Divi for WordPress
|Wordpress is a very powerful content management platform with endless possibilities when it comes to the functionality. Divi is an impressive theme that includes drag and drop templates. Divi makes Wordpress easier to use and more visually appealing.
|Ease of Use
|Wix is a super easy out-of-the-box solution for individuals who want to quickly create a nice looking website without ever having to touch code
|Squarespace is best for photographers and designers that want a visually stunning website. It has very aesthetically pleasing templates.
|Shopify is our recommended platform for businesses that want an e-commerce store. The system allows you to manage inventory using one centralized system.
|Free Online Store
|Square offers a free solution to creating an online store. The platform is very easy to use, and you can get started in minutes.
|Jimdo is cheaper than many of its competitors such as Weebly and Wix. It is easy to use and the free option lets you sell up to 5 products, which is not the case with most of the free options for website builders.
|Themify for WordPress
|Themify for Wordpress is a good option if you want the power of Wordpress with the ease of a drag and drop builder. Themify is relatively inexpensive, and there are a lot of customization possibilities with the theme.
|Adobe Muse
|Web Designers
|Adobe Muse provides a lot of design freedom without having to know too much about coding. Many people have compared it to using Photoshop.
|Real Estate Agents
|Zillow is our preferred website platform for real estate agents. That is because it is easy to use, relatively inexpensive, and you can capture leads on any page.

Downturn Changes British Web ShoppingNatasha Lomas
Cash-strapped Brits are cutting back on online shopping and switching to budget bricks-and-mortar alternatives, according to new research.
The UK e-Retail report by retail analysts Verdict Research has found shoppers in less well-off social demographics are switching away from the web to shops such as Poundland, Primark and Matalan in order to avoid delivery costs on cheaper items such as clothes and homeware.
"The more robust online shoppers are the ones who use the internet for convenience and are willing to pay a bit more for this advantage when buying products like basic jeans, cutlery or tools, all of which could be found cheaper in stores," the report added.
When it comes to more expensive items, such as electricals, even the most price conscious are still shopping online due to the lower prices the internet offers compared to the high street.
"With its clear price advantage over the traditional bricks and mortar channel, online will become even more attractive to recession-hit shoppers as they venture back to buying big-ticket items. There could be a mini-boom in deferred replacements," the report said.
Electricals and groceries continue to dominate online shopping but clothing and footwear is catching up, the report also adds.
Overall, online shopping continues to outperform the high street—the analyst predicts web sales will grow by 13.3 per cent in 2009, to £20.9bn, while total retail sales will fall by 0.6 per cent.
Verdict Research forecasts online shopping will have a 10 per cent market share of total retail by 2013—up from 6.4 per cent in 2008—and be worth £31.2bn.
Despite the growth, online retailers face challenges ahead in differentiating themselves, the analyst predicts—and will turn to tech as a result.
"Retailers will become more adept at using technology and more consistent at implementing innovations on their websites. For example, the use of tools such as 3D pictures and videos will become more common as online shopping becomes more complex," the report said.
Website usability and personalisation will also become increasing core to winning online shoppers' custom—especially that of more well-off demographics who are likely to be time-pressed and may well be willing to pay more for a quick and easy shopping experience, it added.

The move was widely expected after the FSA said last month that it saw no "material impediments" to the deal.
The deal, which will create one of the world's ten largest banks by market value, has already been approved by shareholders of both banks.
The deal is expected to be completed on 12 November.
Abbey is facing a legal challenge to the deal from one of its private shareholders who has claimed it overlooked the views of invetors at the extraordinary general meeting at which the deal was ratified.
Michael Johnson's application to the High Court has been adjourned to 8 November, the date already scheduled for the courts to approve the deal.
Abbey has rejected accusations that the meeting, held on 14, October, was not conducted legally.

Part 36
Dinner was a jovial affair between the two families, two extended families might I add because even the elders and cousins of Sunil and their children had arrived in Mumbai and were dining together at the Khandelwal residence. The elders sat at the dining table whilst the children seated themselves in the living room.
Khanak was pouring a glass of water for herself when she felt someone standing behind her. She looked up and found a friendly face smiling down at her.
"Namaste," she said.
"Hi…I mean..Namaste," said Akshay, extending his hand forward. She shook it cordially.
They proceeded together to sit with the others in the living room.
"Well, we finally meet. I've heard so much about you ke I couldn't help but wonder ke ye Khanak hai kon?" laughed Akshay.
Khanak smiled, "I hope good stuff," she said.
Akshay twitched his eyebrows as if he had to think about that one, then replied, "Ummm….yeah you could say that."
By this time they both had reached the living room. They looked around to find seats. Since, only one sofa seat was vacant Akshay insisted that Khanak take it. Being her courteous self, Khanak declined and instead insisted he take it since he was elder.
"Yaar ab don't play the 'buddha' card with me," joked Akshay.
"Well…shaadi tou hone wali hai aap ki," laughed Khanak.
"Engagement," corrected Akshay, "itni bhi kya jaldi hai bhe? Let me enjoy my last days of freedom!"
While this conversation was going on, Shaantanu, unaware of the chat his brother and Khanak were having, conveniently came and took the vacant seat. The two realized this when Khanak had finally convince Akshay to sit on the sofa because she wanted to sit on the floor cushion and enjoy her food. Akshay shook his head and murmured, "chote bhai!" only to see Khanak shake her head in disagreement and say "men!"
Akshay gave a short laugh and started walking over to the sofa while Khanak made her way to the floor cushions.
"Uth chote, ye seat meri hai," Akshay told Shaan.
"Arrey mere bhai, first come first serve. Seat meri hai please aap chair pull up kar lein kaheen se," replied Shaan.
"You've come in out of line. Ye seat ya Khanak ki ho sakti hai ya meri. Khanak wanted to sit on the floor cushions tou ab ye seat meri hai. Chal uth na,"
"Uff…okay!" said Shaan, getting up.
As Shaan looked for an alternative to sitting with Khanak, he was interrupted by his cousin Rajesh.
"Arrey kahan ja raha hai Shaan tu? Idher aa na!"
Shaantanu turned around and saw Khanak sitting no more than a few feet away from Rajesh. Though something inside his chest immediate felt heavier, his head told him to find somewhere else to sit.
"Arrey nai Raj, I'm good. Zameen pe baith kar I won't be able to eat tujeh tou pata hai na."
"Kya? Don't be crazy. Dekh Khanak aaj pehli baar India ayi hai and she's eating zameen pe baith kar. Tu angraiz ki aulaad na ban, come sit with us."
Obviously, Rajesh was clueless about anything cooking between Khanak and Shaan. But the nail hit on target. Whether due to his ego being challenged, or because he did not want to seem overtly critical of sitting there due to Khanak, the final result was that Shaan made his way to where the floor cushions lay and sat himself directly opposite Khanak.

Rockin' holiday tunes brought crowds to Marylhurst for Park Academy
While the performances were in Marylhurst University's Clark Commons, nothing was common about 'The Season Electric's' holiday tunes. Musicians with big hair, big sound and big smiles put on a spectacle with tunes like 'Let it Snow,' 'Carol of the Bells' and 'Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree.'
'I enjoy seeing people smile and have a sense of wonder in their eye - especially children and teens,' said Brandon Cook, who played guitar and sang in the performances. 'I don't always get that opportunity with rock shows in clubs.'
With performances on Dec. 2, 3 and 4, the rockin' holiday event produced and created by Blake Sakamoto delighted many.
Sakamoto's musical past - playing keyboards in The Dan Reed Network and opening shows for the Rolling Stones, Bon Jovi, UB40 and Eddie Money - is currently a music teacher at Park Academy, located on the Marylhurst campus. Proceeds from 'The Season Electric' benefitted the small, non-profit school dedicated to empowering students with learning challenges, such as dyslexia.
Sakamoto's musicians this year also included Chael Emmett, Merrill Hale, Steve Adams, Janet Johannes, Karen Johnson Miller, Sharon Bryson, Lydia Moynihan and Michael Hermes.
'My favorite song to perform this year was 'Jingle Bell Rock,'' Cook said. 'I get to sing that song. It get me really excited. (It's a) fun song.'
'The Season Electric,' in its third year, grows each holiday season.
''People could not believe this was a local production,' Sakamoto said. 'We'll keep surprising people every year. 'The Season Electric 2012' will be even more epic.'

sounds good, a bit on the high side at $34.50. I use a Nemesis for a G26 and have had to learn how to draw it without the holster coming out with the gun. I put pressure on the leg when drawing. The G26 does print some in the Nemesis. I also had to alter the Nemesis to be able to make a clean draw. Stock, the holster pouches over the butt of the gun and makes for a more difficult draw. I use the Nemesis everyday.
I hear a lot of people really like the mikapocketholsters.com pocket holster for the jframes
