Is Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV the future of Australian television?
Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV is gaining traction in Europe but we hadn't really heard much about it in Australia until Seven announced its HbbTV plans last week -- getting the jump on the other networks. The HbbTV concept revolves around combining terrestrial broadcasts with internet content such as Catch Up TV and pay-per-view programming. There's also an interactive element, including the ability to buy products featured in programs. Of course there's plenty in it for advertisers as well, hoping to track our viewing habits and deliver targeted advertising.
Seven aims to launch its HbbTV service in May 2014, while Nine and Ten are also working on HbbTV plans. The rollout is being overseen by Australia's Freeview consortium, which I can't say fills me with confidence. The Freeview Electronic Program Guide is locked-down to a handful of Freeview-endorsed devices, which are nobbled to prevent ad-skipping, limit fast-forward speeds and restrict the copying of recordings. Restricting HbbTV to Freeview-endorsed devices would certainly be a death sentence for the technology in Australia.
HbbTV is an open platform and Freeview managing director Liz Ross tells me there's nothing stopping any hardware manufacturer tapping into Australia's HbbTV services "at this stage". Of course Freeview was deliberately vague when first announcing the technological restrictions on its EPG, so you can't make any assumptions.
HbbTV is gaining traction in Europe and LG, Loewe, Samsung, Sharp and Sony are already members of the HbbTV consortium. Ross says it's unlikely that Australia's current televisions will be compatible with HbbTV, even with a firmware update. So you'll be expected to cough up for a new television, set-top box or PVR if you want to tap into HbbTV. It's a big ask if you've already forked out for internet-enabled gear which supports a range of internet video services. HbbTV is also going to miss the last-minute rush to upgrade to digital TV as analogue broadcasts and finally phased out at the end of this year.
Of course free-to-air broadcasters have been kicking around hybrid broadcasting models since the dot-com boom of the late 1990s, yet so far they've got very little to show for it. Times have changed and free-to-air faces growing threats from IPTV and Pay TV. Both have been innovating for several years and winning over more viewers, while the free-to-air broadcasters have driven people away by treating viewers with contempt, dragging their feet on new technology and serving up mindless trash like Celebrity Splash.
Free-to-air broadcasters are hoping that HbbTV will help them stay in the game, but it looks like they're offering too little, too late. Traditional broadcasters are losing their grip and there's simply no need for internet-based entertainment to piggyback on free-to-air broadcasts.
What do you think, have Seven and the other free-to-air broadcasters missed the boat with HbbTV? What would you like to see from a hybrid TV service?

NEW YORK (Jan. 22)
The joint U.S.-Soviet Trade and Economic Council has embarked on a vigorous lobbying effort to increase Export-Import Bank credits for the USSR and divorce political from economic issues in trade relations between the two countries.
Donald Kendall of the Pepsico Co., American co-chairman of the joint, council, said at a press conference here today that "the breakdown of the 1972 trade agreement" was "only a temporary setback." He said the Ford Administration is "pledged to introduce and support vigorously new legislation which we consider an immediate imperative."
The Soviet Union repudiated its 1972 trade agreement with the U.S. on grounds that provisions imposed by Congress linking trade with Soviet emigration practices was interference in Russia's internal affairs. What displeased Moscow most, however, was the $300 million a year ceiling imposed by Congress on Export-Import Bank credits, Kendall said today that the joint council would like credits increased from some $469 million now to $2 billion by 1980.
He also said, in a prepared statement that "The Council strongly believes in the need for wider separation of political and economic issues in the U.S.-Soviet trade relationship." He indicated the strategy to be employed in pressing for fewer restrictions and more liberal terms for Moscow when he claimed that increased exports to the USSR would mean more jobs in America where unemployment is on the rise. He said U.S. Department of Commerce figures estimated that every $15,000 worth of exports generated one job.
Kendall also warned that the U.S. would be losing valuable Soviet business to France, West Germany and Japan which, he said, were already far more generous in their credit to Moscow. He said that nullification of the 1972 trade pact would not diminish the joint council's work but on the contrary, "The activities of the Council are going to be increased." He said the council will hold a meeting of top U.S. and Soviet business executives shortly to plan expanding business ties between the two countries.

This TV replay is sure to get plenty of air time tonight and tomorrow. Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz takes exception to something San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh says or does in post-game handshake after the 49ers' 25-19 win over the Lions Sunday.
Schwartz wants a piece of Harbaugh as he's running off the field. A ticked off Harbaugh turns and screams back at Schwartz. That sets the Lions coach off even more. He furiously chases the 49ers coach down to the end of the field and pushes people out of the way to try to get at him.
Players from both teams gather nose-to-nose for possible brawl. Some put their helmets back on. And who is that guy in the black suit and goatee who does more to stop the situation before it gets out of hand than anybody on the field?
NFL: 49ers beat previously unbeaten Lions
THE HUDDLE: Saints coach Sean Payton injured in sideline collision
Fox's Troy Aikman joked the two coaches should square off in the UFC Octagon -- to be televised on Fox of course.
Fox's Jimmy Johnson thought what set Schwartz off was the hard handshake/backslap from Harbaugh. "Schwartz doesn't want to feel that," said Johnson.
During halftime of NBC's Sunday night telecast, Rodney Harrison also thought it was the push that set Schwartz off. "Putting your hands on a grown man, you can't do that. If you're Jim Schwartz, what do you tell your kids?"
This isn't the first time Harbaugh's been in a post-game scrum. Former Southern California coach Pete Carroll angrily demanded, "What's your deal?" after Harbaugh's Stanford Cardinals ran up the score on Caroll's USC Trojans in a 55-21 pummeling in 2009. See video of that incident below

Grads told they're ready for careers to come
For thousands of students across Western New York, today is the first day of the rest of their lives.
Several schools in the region – including the University at Buffalo, Villa Maria College, Alfred State University and Genesee Community College – held their commencements Sunday, unleashing another generation of enthusiastic students into a shaky job market.
UB President Satish Tripathi acknowledged that today's students are "graduating into an uncertain future" but assured them that their time at the school had prepared them well for it.
"You have been researching, experimenting and studying for careers and roles that are not even in existence yet," he told roughly 1,400 graduates from the school's College of Arts and Sciences in Alumni Arena.
He added later that students were "ready to make a profound difference as global leaders" in their chosen fields and urged them to use their education to "open new doors" for themselves and others.
Ira Flatow, host of Public Radio International's "Science Friday" and a 1971 graduate of UB's School of Engineering, said he was returning to the university to complete some "unfinished business," having skipped his own commencement ceremony due to political unrest at the school. He received an honorary doctorate.
"You should always be proud to be a graduate of your university," he told students. "When you say you graduated from Buffalo, people will pick their heads up and pay attention."
Mary Wilson accepted UB's Chancellor Charles P. Norton Medal on behalf of her late husband, Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson Jr. She urged students to "give their best" every day, the way Wilson had, as exemplified during his time with her on the tennis courts.
"He always gave it his best shot," she said. "It wasn't always a really good shot, but it was the best he had."
UB's student speaker was Marjorie Breslawski, a Brockport native who graduated summa cum laude with a bachelor of arts degree in French, psychology and an international studies concentration.
She reveled in her and fellow students' ability to achieve "feats that once seemed so impossible," lamented that their undergraduate adventures were complete and marveled at the great things she believes they will achieve in the future.
"This part of our lives is now a time capsule; never to be touched again, only fondly remembered," Breslawski said.
As she filed into the arena for Sunday's ceremony, international trade major Samar Kassim, of Queens, said she feels UB prepared her for the world, allowing her to try out different majors and study in Japan. Still, she wasn't sure it would be enough.
"The entry-level jobs out there are not made for graduates, they're made for people with years of experience," she said.
The nation's struggling economy and unfavorable job market was on the minds of many graduates, but it wasn't enough to dampen their celebration.
"I went through a lot over these four years," said Raul Villar Jr., an international business major from the Bronx. "I should be ready for anything."
U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez, a Buffalo native and graduate of Canisius High School, spoke to more than 200 graduates at UB's School of Public Health and Health Professions commencement later Sunday in UB's Center for the Arts. He said the job market is improving, with 50 consecutive months of job growth, and that there are bipartisan measures in the works to pick up that pace.
He said coming to UB brought back great memories of his mother, a UB graduate who became a student at the school as a single mom the same year he started college. His niece is a sophomore there now.
"I think this is a world-class university and people are leaving today with a great credential," he said in prepared remarks. "Credentials are really wonderful, but they're not worth anything if you don't put them to use in the service of folks who need it most."
At Genesee Community College in Batavia, State Sen. George Maziarz addressed about 190 graduates.
He told students to embrace the mistakes they are bound to make, because they will learn something from each one of them.
He told them to beware the fear of failure, which can be paralyzing.
"The greatest freedoms we have in this country, to think for yourself and say what you want, are not endangered by any foreign invaders or secret government programs, they're endangered by the fear that many of us have inside of us – a fear of failure, a fear of looking or saying something foolish," Maziarz said in prepared remarks.
Alfred State
David Campbell, a former CEO of Computer Task Group, a board member at Gibraltar Industries and the current chairman and founder of the nonprofit organization All Hands Volunteers, gave the commencement address to about 900 graduates in Pioneer Stadium at Alfred State College.
The student speaker was Tsu Zhu of Flushing, a graduate of both the culinary arts department, where she earned an associate's degree, and the technology management program, where she earned a bachelor's degree.
Villa Maria
Sister Mary Marcine Borowiak, who will retire next month from her position as vice president of development at Villa Maria College, gave the school's commencement address before more than 100 graduating students.
Her prepared remarks talked about the benefits of positive change and touched on each of the college's core values, including respect for human dignity, compassion, transformation, solidarity with the poor, justice and peace.

The House approved the creation of a legislative task force to study poor air quality in Utah after some lawmakers complained information on the issue was scattered and incomplete leaving them to tackle the issue in only a piecemeal fashion.
Rep. Patrice Arent, D-Millcreek, sponsored HB70, which passed 55-16. She said she doesn't usually propose task forces, but felt the issue no longer could be ignored.
"It's time for the Legislature to begin seriously understanding this topic," Arent said.
The bill would establish the Air Quality Task force, consisting of 13 members, five of whom would be appointed by the Senate president. No more than four could be from the same political party. The House speaker would appoint eight members, of whom no more than six could be from the same party.
According to the bill's fiscal note, the task force would cost $45,900.
The Salt Lake City-Ogden-Clearfield corridor ranks fifth in the nation for short-term particle pollution, according to the American Lung Association. Orem and Provo ranked sixth, according to the same study.
Lawmakers bemoaned the inversion layers that occur in winter months when pollutants are trapped and pushed down in the basin, leaving skies gray and forcing red alert days that pose serious health risks for children, the elderly and those suffering from asthma.
However, no Utah city cracked the American Lung Association's ranking for year-round particle pollution.
The bill now moves to the Senate.

Walking slowly on delicate legs, the bird that the Cajuns call the bec croche peered into the murky salt shallows. As it moved, looking for a late supper, it barely left a footprint in the black bank of quaking peat that would bog down any heavier creature. Even the ragged, salt-reddened raccoons that often padded their way in and out of these briny marshes, looking for trapped minnows or a rambling crab, wouldn't venture out onto these flats at low tide. A man would be up to his thighs in no time.
The ibis stopped, craning its head at an odd angle, as a school of foraging cocahoe minnows sculpted the shallows with their riffles. They had been spooked toward the false safety of the bank a few minutes before by a marauding school of redfish—so many thrashing, coppery fish that they swam atop one another, fins carving turmoil on the windless surface. The sun moved toward the bottom of an azure sky, its fading rays dappling the marshes and painting sprawling rainbows on the water. A light breezed served up the warm-muck aroma of the nearby Gulf. A stream of light caught the bird's downy white feathers and, for a moment, turned them golden.
The bec croche stood as still as the day moon, its curved yellow beak poised like a dagger. Then, in a ritual almost as old as the bayou itself, a minnow ventured too close and the bird struck with whimsical fury. The fish was still squirming as it slid down the ibis's long, refined throat. Into this tranquil scene came a sound, a far-off thrum that grew louder and louder until it soon filled the ebbing day. It came from an oil-field workboat with a black hull, gray cabin, and huge twin diesels capable of pushing it along at close to forty mph. But this one didn't move nearly that fast, for it carried a heavy cargo—a load of fifty-five-gallon steel drums lashed together on its open rear deck. On a normal run, workmen might have stood on the aft deck to watch the scenic marshes slide by en route to a drilling rig or production platform out in the nearby Gulf of Mexico.
But this was no normal run.
On this stretch of marsh, a loose collection of cheniers, bays, and meandering bayous known as Belle Chaoui, the denizens didn't immediately scatter at the invading noise. Most, used to its frequent intrusions, stayed put until the boat rounded a nearby curve and came roaring toward them, throwing a massive wake in its trail—an alarming wall of water about four feet high that swept over the marshy banks with the force of a miniature tidal wave. As the boat neared and slowed, the bec croche rose easily and wheeled marshward. Gaining altitude, it banked toward the bayou and flew over the boat, inspecting it warily, then flapped off and settled in a high patch of grass a hundred yards deep into the watery prairie. By this time, the boat was nosing up the narrow bayou, its engine at a low throb, pushing up a stew of muddy, black water behind it. At the intersection of the bayou and a small half-moon bay, the boat backed as close as possible to the shallows and cut its engines.
Two men began uncoupling the chains that lashed the barrels together. Then, to the sound of steel scraping across the deck, they began with haste to shove the barrels off the boat. As the barrels piled up, some clanged into one another, breaking open and spilling their contents. They joined a dilapidated ring of drums, many also broken and leaking, that had been wasting in the marsh for some time already. A half hour later the boat had disgorged its load, and its engines throbbed back to life.
As if on cue, the ibis rose from its hiding place, then canted back toward the bayou, hoping to reclaim its feeding spot before the sun quit the sky altogether. It spied its former perch and settled back down into the soft muck of the mudflats just as the boat throttled up into a plane. The wake the boat created rose swiftly and began driving toward the bank. The mudflats and the cast-off barrels couldn't absorb all of the wake's fury, and the last of it came lapping up the bank and into the marshes like a fast-moving tide—a rusty-red tide of spilled chemicals and noxious fumes smelling faintly of diesel.
The bec croche, having sated itself on another minnow, didn't stir as the water lapped around its feet. But after a long moment it rose up, as if startled, and tried to flap away, driving itself up at a sharp angle. It didn't get far before it banked violently, splashing down into a section of the marsh soiled by the boat's poisonous wake. It gave a sharp cry as it landed, tried to rise again and failed. Soon its flapping wings were covered in the stinging, noxious stew. In a moment, it was overwhelmed as it tried to waddle and flap its way to safety.
And in the bayou, the redfish and the cocahoe minnows and the bottomfeeding black drum; the laconic alligator gar and the wily hardhead catfish; the goggle-eyed flounder that cruised the shallows and the vast scrums of mullet that wandered the surface—they all did what the sedentary oysters lying in their reefs could not do. They began schooling quickly up the bayou in the direction that the boat had come, away from a tide that had turned suddenly sour.
As night fell and an impressive yellow moon rose over the marshy plain, the rancid tide crept farther and farther up the bayou and into the shallow bays, pushed by a real tide fanning out from the Gulf. A few hours later, when schools of mullet began rising erratically, mouths gasping for air, their white bellies to the moon, it became clear that the bec croche had not been the only creature harmed.

Psychotherapy is a way to solve those repeating feelings, thoughts and behaviors that cause pain to ourselves and those we care about. I help clients learn to face and discover themselves,and learn new ways to cope with the stress of living in the world today. It is my hope that my clients feel more vibrant, free from self defeating patterns, and able to connect more fully with who they are. This allows the experience of greater independence, and increased intimacy in relationships. Everyone has to learn to adopt to the environment they are born into. When early relationships are less then ideal, coping patterns develop which can limit spontaneity, independence, constructive problem solving.

A fulfilling, meaningful life. Many of us yearn for it and have struggled for it, with little success. Perhaps anxiety, fear, or depression get in your way. Maybe you're wrestled down by unwanted, unpleasant memories of a difficult past. For some, the pathway may be blocked by the effects of alcohol or drug use. Has anger often knocked you off balance? My approach to psychotherapy, which relies heavily on research-supported methods in the Cognitive-Behavioral, Mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) traditions, seeks to restore your path to that meaningful life by helping you navigate those painful emotions, thoughts, memories and experiences that seem to hold you back.

I have learned several models of therapy, and apply various models at different times depending on the clients situation and needs. Psychotherapy in essence is a relationship that is built on trust, understanding, and compassion between the client and the therapist,. Once this is established, both the client and therapist can move forward to better understanding the roots of the problem, and make changes to bring successful outcomes for achieving the goals and lifestyle changes the client seeks.

Taking a patients medical , family background and history to diagnos a problem. I have the patient write out their thoughts, fantasies and dreams to investigate the subconscious. Psycotherapy takes alot of introspection and is a long term therapy designed to help the patient to gain a greater understanding of themselves and their life. It is not for mmdiate changes and not just for the patient who is mentallly ill or in crisis. It is designed to help the patient know themselves and make decisions conducive to their self empowerment, value system and life goals.

Pitt athletic director Steve Pederson said he likes the new college football playoff system for the most basic of reasons:
"Whoever performs best is going to play in these games," Pederson said a day after a committee of university presidents approved a 12-year plan for a four-team playoff, beginning in 2014. "That's all we wanted, for our (conference) champion to have a great place to go. This system will do that."
The playoff eliminates automatic bowl berths for conference champions. Instead, a committee — similar to the group that picks the field for the NCAA basketball tournament — will choose four semifinalists to play two games within the current major-bowl structure. The winners will meet a week later in a national championship game.
Pederson said "the fifth school" could protest its exclusion from the field, but it will be no different than when "on-the-bubble" basketball teams fail to earn tournament bids.
The committee will base its decisions on win-loss records, strength of schedule and head-to-head results. Conference championship status will get consideration, but it's not a requirement.
"The ACC is going to have its place right in the heart of this with the other four power conferences (SEC, Big Ten, Pac-12 and Big 12)," Pederson said.
Pitt will join the ACC no later than 2014, but the university has filed suit against the Big East to leave after the upcoming academic year.
Pederson said there is "nothing new" to report on the status of the lawsuit.
"We are moving through the process," he said, noting that he doesn't know when it will be resolved, but an out-of-court settlement could be among the possible outcomes.
January enrollment
Defensive tackle Tyrique Jarrett, who graduated from Allderdice High School this year, plans to enroll at Pitt in January after spending the fall at Milford (N.Y.) Academy.
Jarrett signed a letter of intent this year with Pitt, but he will attend Milford to improve his grades, Allderdice coach Jerry Haslett said. Several Pitt players have taken the same route, including running back LeSean McCoy, now with the Philadelphia Eagles, and current Panthers K.K. Mosley-Smith and Todd Thomas.
Jarrett, 6-foot-4, 325 pounds, played in the Big 33 game last week and performed well, according to Haslett.
"The two (offensive linemen) who doubled him the whole time are going to Ohio State, and he was beating them up," Haslett said. "He's strong as an ox and he can run."

Hi Jack,
I know what you mean about people quoting you when they really are only
repeating something you never said. I have often wondered who dreamed up the
part about me not believing, accepting, using, [fill-in-the-blank] oral
traditions for I have surely never ever said that. In fact, I have it in
writing in a least two places that I do use oral tradition and how I use it
but I won't mention it here since I don't want to sound commercial
(especially since I don't have anything to sell right now <G>).
In the meantime, I have always recommended your book and always will because
you dug into records and told us where we could find them if we wanted to
check out what you said or what you thought about something. I like that.
Did I ever mention that I spoke at the Second Union and didn't charge a cent
to anybody even though my husband had to pay to get in because he had to
drive because I had just gotten over cancer surgery and wasn't allowed to
drive yet? Oh yeah... I guess I forgot to whine about that.
Have a nice day <G>.

Feb. 22, 2008 - Both SSHS boys and girls golf teams were in opening-tournament action this week, and each coach said the players settled in once they got over their initial nervousness.
The boys finished tied for seventh in a 14-team field at Mount Pleasant, while the girls turned in a second-place finish at McKinney.
Sophomore Adam Perry and freshman Cameron Wilks each carded an 84 to pace the Wildcats. Wilks, Chance Byrd and Cole Cable were all playing in their first varsity tournaments.
"Out of the top five, the oldest are sophomores, so they're young and inexperienced in playing tournaments," said SSHS head coach Ross Funk. "But, I was pleased with how we did. It was the first tournament out of the box, and the kids were nervous. But, I think as the season goes on, they'll get more comfortable."
Cable and Cort Walker,both sophomore, each carded a 95, while freshman Chance Byrd finished with a 99. Walker and Perry both played varsity last year, while Cable was on JV.
Funk said they all shot better on the back nine after they got more comfortable with the course.
"The day before, the kids were playing well at our course, which they're comfortable with," he said. "Then, they didn't shoot that well on the front side. I talked with each of them after the front nine, and the were kind of down. I just told them to concentrate on the back side and get in the mind frame that we're back and home and playing with each other.
"I told them to go out there and relax, and they all shot better on the back side."
The Wildcats finished tied for seventh with Daingerfield with a total of 354. District opponents Mount Pleasant (345) and Paris (352) were within striking distance. Atlanta won the tournament with a 328.
On the JV team, Mason Smolik carded a 96, followed by Heath Hanna with a 109 and Parker Sims with a 133.
"I look for all of them to improve," Funk said. "They played a lot better on the back side. I just want them to get more and more comfortable, because we have the ability. There's no reason we can't compete against any school we go against, in my opinion."
The Wildcats will play next weekend in a two-day tournament at Wood Hollow Golf Course and Oak Forest Sport Club in Longview.
The SSHS girls return three players from last year's district championship team, and they played like it on Tuesday.
Led by junior Britney Cheatham's 89, the Lady Cats placed second at McKinney with a 400 team total.
Because of illness, the Lady Cats only took four golfers, so all four scores were used. Two lettermen shot under 100 as Miranda Conway carded a 97 and Kaitlyn Potts had a 99, and Dani Johnson shot a 115 in her first varsity tournament.
"The ladies shot very well," said head coach Linda Rankin. "They had some nerves being the first tournament and felt like they didn't quite play to their potential, so we're expecting great things."
She said they started playing better after they got the first-tournament jitters out of the way.
"They started a little stiff, then you could see them loosening up and playing their game, and that's when they really started to turn it on," Rankin said. "We really saw great things at that point."
The Lady Cats will play Monday in Denton, as Rankin will alternate a couple of players into the final two spots as she searches for the right combination before district begins in late March.

text: Standard home insurance policies include coverage for tornado damage. But there are steps homeowners can take to minimize the damage and get back on track. "I always tell people documentation, communication and cooperation are the most important elements of any claims settlement," says Logan Harrison, chief deputy commissioner at the Indiana Department of Insurance. "We recognize that homeowners are going through a really tough time but if they're able to keep those three things in mind, it will make their lives much easier." Write it down Before you can begin documenting the damage to your home and property, it's critical that you determine whether or not it's safe to remain in an area that's been hit by a tornado. After all, downed power lines, gas leaks and broken glass are accidents waiting to happen. "Make sure it's safe to go back into your neighborhood," warns Julie Rochman, president and chief executive officer at the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety in Tampa, Fla. "Safety always comes first. You want to make sure that emergency operations people have first cleared the area [for you] to go back." Next, begin documenting the damage. "Be as detailed as you can," recommends Jeanne Salvatore, a spokesperson for the III. "You want to make lists and take photographs." Rochman agrees, adding that "taking video is also a really good thing to do. That's because a lot of videos include time and date stamps for greater accuracy." That's not to suggest that you should delay making minor repairs. While it's critical to document every bit of damage, Salvatore says, "If you don't have a total loss, you also want to make basic or interim repairs to prevent additional damage." Putting a tarp over a damaged roof, boarding up blown-out windows or sweeping up broken glass won't impact your insurance claim. Remember to "save your receipts for things like tarps and plywood, because you'll be reimbursed by your insurance company for the costs of those repairs," says Salvatore.

Somewhat disappointed: Independence of the Seas Cruise Review by Bruce Tucker
Overall Member Rating
Somewhat disappointed
Destination: Canary Islands
Embarkation: Other
Our cabin was the largest we have experienced and being near the forward lift shaft, the quietest any time at sea. The balcony was large and protected enough on which to relax and sunbathe.
The Ship's Company is very happy and this comes over in their good attitude towards passengers.
The gym is the largest I have ever been in with some equipment that I have never seen shore side.
Embarkation in Southampton was delayed firstly by an ABP computer crash but more worryingly because of a deep clean that was required because a number of passengers (understood to be in the 100s) suffered Novovirus on previous cruises. Embarkation was the first time that RCI had mentioned this (to us)so feel we should have been given the option to cancel. During the cruise, it is unacceptable to breath in fumes in gangways from More cabins being disinfected under pressure.
However there were antiseptic gel dispensers everywhere and all were persuaded to use them regularly, particularly on entering food areas.
Passengers are always blamed for bringing novo virus on board but as this problem seems ongoing on IOTS, it seems to me that it could well be a caused within the Ships Company.
Biggest disappointment was food choice and quality. Menus were uninteresting and uninspiring, the worst of any Cruise Company we have used so far and well below the standard of food on a previous RCI cruise. (Serenade of the Seas)
However the main dining rooms were stunning with good service although it is obvious that costs have been cut here also by reduction in staff numbers.
Our bar bill was the lowest in 18 years of cruising because of the unreasonable high drinks prices. RCI must take note that we do not have to pay such prices and can choose not to drink. Their accountants should realise that it is better to make $10 on a bottle of wine that I do purchase than to make nothing at all.
We enjoyed our cruise but because of the poor food choice, will hesitate to use RCI again unless we receive some form of positive response to our on board survey. Less

From staff and wire reports
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson endorsed former rival Barack Obama's presidential bid Friday, giving Obama a boost from a well-known Democrat who once served in Bill Clinton's administration.
Obama's candidacy is a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our nation," Richardson said at a rally in Portland, Ore., where Obama is campaigning in advance of the May 20 Oregon primary. Turning to Obama, Richardson said, "I am very proud to endorse your candidacy."
POLITICS BLOG: More details on the endorsement
"For him to stand before you today and not just offer his endorsement but offer his confidence that I will perform the task of commander in chief and president of the United States with the kind of excellence he wants to see ... I can't be more honored," said Obama.
The endorsement from Richardson, the nation's only Hispanic governor, comes despite his ties to Hillary Rodham Clinton, Obama's chief rival. Richardson served as U.N. ambassador and energy secretary in the presidential administration of Clinton's husband, Bill Clinton.
Richardson ended his own Democratic presidential bid Jan. 10 after finishing well back in the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary. His endorsement had been pursued by both Clinton and Obama, and his position as governor also means he will be a "super delegate" at the Democratic National Convention in August.
Richardson's endorsement also could help Obama pick up support among Hispanics, who are the nation's largest and fastest-growing minority.
Clinton has been the favorite of Hispanics in primaries and caucuses, according to exit polls. She won the New Mexico caucus in early February with a nearly 2-to-1 advantage among Hispanics.
NOMINATION FIGHT: The voting road ahead
Obama said Richardson was "somebody who has been motivated by the desire to make the lives of his constituents and working people a little bit better."
In a statement earlier Friday, Richardson praised Hillary Clinton as a "distinguished leader with vast experience." But he said Obama "will be a historic and great president, who can bring us the change we so desperately need by bringing us together as a nation here at home and with our allies abroad."
The Clinton campaign was dismissive of the endorsement.
Citing Clinton's victory in New Mexico in February, senior strategist Mark Penn told reporters Friday in a conference call, "Perhaps the time when he could have been most effective has long since past." Penn added that he didn't think it was a "significant endorsement."
Richardson was a roving diplomatic troubleshooter when he was a congressman from New Mexico, negotiating the release of U.S. hostages in several countries and meeting with a rogue's gallery of U.S. adversaries, including Saddam Hussein and Fidel Castro.

Everyone is looking to Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) earnings announcement after the close on Wednesday, Jan. 23. A less capital intensive and lower risk way to play Apple is to turn to the Apple ecosystem and the world's leading supplier of NAND flash memory technology, Sandisk (NASDAQ:SNDK). Sandisk announces earnings at the same time – and the premiums on the puts and calls indicate the market has no idea what could happen. The performance of the company should be anywhere from expectations to a clean beat. The more important number is their forecast for NAND demand and margins and 2012 is looking up as a good year for NAND manufacturers with slower declines in average selling prices and therefore stable to expanding margins.
What to do? Sell some weekly puts. They have incredible premiums.
Sandisk is trading around $48. If you sell a $45 put that expires this Friday you will get around $45 in cash per contract, and if they expire worthless you will see a 1% return in a few days and 50% on an annualized basis. If you are more of a trading pirate and believe that Sandisk will report out a good Q4, you can sell the $48 put for an astounding $1.87 or $187 a contract. If they expire worthless that is a return of 4.2%, a 207% return on an annualized basis.
Yes, you could be put the stock if it falls. You can avoid this by rolling the puts. Or if you are put the stock, Sandisk is a great company, so you can just turn around and sell weekly calls and average down your cost and generate cash every week.
Think about it.

VEGFR2, also called as KDR or Flk-1, is identified as the receptor for VEGF and VEGFC and an early marker for endothelial cell progenitors, whose expression is restricted to endothelial cells in vivo. VEGFR2 was shown to be the primary signal transducer for angiogenesis and the development of pathological conditions such as cancer and diabetic retinopathy. It has been shown that VEGFR2 is expressed mainly in the endothelial cells, and the expression is upregulated in the tumor vasculature. Thus the inhibition of VEGFR2 activity and its downstream signaling are important targets for the treatment of diseases involving angiogenesis. VEGFR2 transduces the major signals for angiogenesis via its strong tyrosine kinase activity. However, unlike other representative tyrosine kinase receptors, VEGFR2 does not use the Ras pathway as a major downstream signaling but rather uses the phospholipase C-protein kinase C pathway to signal mitogen-activated protein (MAP)-kinase activation and DNA synthesis. VEGFR2 is a direct and major signal transducer for pathological angiogenesis, including cancer and diabetic retinopathy, in cooperation with many other signaling partners; thus, VEGFR2 and its downstream signaling appear to be critical targets for the suppression of these diseases. VEGF and VEGFR2-mediated survival signaling is critical to endothelial cell survival, maintenance of the vasculature and alveolar structure and regeneration of lung tissue. Reduced VEGF and VEGFR2 expression in emphysematous lungs has been linked to increased endothelial cell death and vascular regression.

JERUSALEM (Jun. 16)
A new religious controversy emerged here today as an earlier one that threatened a Cabinet spilt on the issue of conversions was being quashed. The Supreme Court held by a four-to-one majority today that a civil marriage contracted between a Coben and a divorced woman was legally valid. Religious law, which according to the Orthodox rabbinate is the only law applicable to marriage in Israel, expressly forbids such a union. A Cohen is a Jew presumably descended from the priestly tribe of Levi. The couple involved underwent a civil ceremony performed by a lawyer in his office. They signed the standard marriage contract form and followed the halachic (religious law) ritual that requires the passing of an object of value (ring) from bridegroom to bride. But the Ministry of Interior refused to recognize the marriage and the couple was forced to appeal to the Supreme Court. Observers here said the Ministry will now have to comply with the court's verdict or precipitate a new cabinet crisis.
The Supreme Court meanwhile accepted the petition of Mrs. Helen Zeidmann, an American-born convert to Judaism, to withdraw her suit against the government for registration as a Jew. Mrs. Zeidmann was originally converted by a Reform rabbi in Tel Aviv. The Orthodox National Religious Party threatened to leave the coalition Cabinet if her conversion was upheld by the Supreme Court which was to render its decision tomorrow. Mrs. Zeidmann, under severe pressure from high government echelons, underwent a second conversion yesterday according to Orthodox rites and the matter was settled, at least for the time being. Her lawyer, A. Ben Menashe, withdrew from the case today. He said he had reason to believe that his client did not act of her own free will but under coercion. She was urged personally by President Zalman Shazar to accept Orthodox conversion, was visited by a delegation of Knesset members and other personalities yesterday and was apparently pressured by her neighbors at Kibbutz Nahal Oz to comply to avert a cabinet crisis. Sources here said Premier Golda Meir was behind the pressure campaign directed against Mrs. Zeidmann.
But the issue of non-Orthodox conversions has not been settled. Conversions performed by Reform or Conservative rabbis are not ruled out by Israel's Law of Return as amended by the Knesset last March and the Labor Party has so far refused to give in to Orthodox demands that it initiate new legislation. The issue now developing shapes up as a contest between the Orthodox religious establishment which insists on its exclusivity in matters of marriage, divorce and conversion, and the Israel Supreme Court whose decisions so far have upheld the rights of individuals in such issues.

Good deal for a bad credit loan
If you are in a similar situation to me, Springleaf is probably one of the few options available to you. I just got my check from them today, and getting to that point was rather painless with a few caveats. I will write a detailed review below, but the short answer is that I would recommend this place to someone with a low credit score who has an urgent need for a lump of cash to pay some bills. It is a better interest rate than the payday loan places. They will try to push you to get credit insurance with your loan, but it was easy enough to tell them no to that. The branch manager assured me that I can make payments online and that this is a simple interest loan with no prepayment penalty. There were a few snags, but at the end of the day I have my money and can take care of some bills. If I have any problems down the road, I will come back and change my review. For now, I give them four stars.
Now, here is the long review...
My FICO score is in the low 600's, and I have a stack of medical bills that need to be addressed plus I am buried under a high interest (157%) long-term personal loan that I took through one of the payday loan places. To pay off the personal loan and medical bills, I needed about $4000. I was also hoping to get a little extra money to fund a trip to Chicago for a wedding this summer. With my credit score, I didn't even bother trying a traditional bank or credit union, and I was turned down by Prosper and LendingClub. So, Springleaf was one of my only options to get a loan.
I filled out their online application, and I heard back from the branch manager the next day. Over a couple more days, he put together a package for me and gave me two options. I could either get a "personal property loan" for $3500, or put up my pickup truck as collateral and get a $5100 vehicle title loan. I originally chose to do the vehicle title loan.
Now, here comes one of the reasons that I only rated the place as four stars. Similar to other reviewers, I had to drive over 40 miles to get to the nearest office. That was not a big issue in and of itself, but I wanted to make sure that there was nothing I was missing so I wouldn't have to make the trip more than once. Well, when I got there with all my paperwork (pay stub, W2, apartment lease, documentation of my bills, registration/insurance/title for my vehicle, and photo ID) it was only then that I learned I could not use my truck as collateral right now because the registration is due soon. They never told me about this requirement beforehand! Since I have to get some smog work done before I can renew my registration, there was also no way to correct that problem in the near future. So that took away one of my loan options. So much for that Chicago trip! If you are looking to get a vehicle title loan through them, make sure your registration does not expire within the next 60 days.
Another reason I knocked off a star from them is that they kept trying the hard sell with me on the credit insurance. In fact they offer four or five different types of loan insurance, but I had already told him before I came in that I didn't want any of the insurance, so I just cut him off when he tried to pitch them to me again. Thank goodness for the reviews on this site, or I probably wouldn't even have noticed that they were going to automatically add insurance (which is apparently their standard practice).
Another reason why I downgraded them by a star was this practice they have of trying to pay the consolidation bills directly. They didn't ask for all of my individual medical bills, but they did want to pay the payday loan place directly. I understand why they do that (they want to make sure you are not increasing your debt load with this loan), but sometimes that just isn't an option. Since the payday loan place directly debits my bank account for payments, and I never receive a statement with an option for mail-in payments, I had no idea how to go about repaying it with a check from Springleaf. I had to explain that and bring in some web page printouts to show him how that loan works, and assure him that the first thing I would pay off would be that payday loan.
The final reason that I knocked off a star is the interest rate. I understand that a loan place like this is going to charge high interest. Part of the reason is that they have a corner on the market for bad credit loans, and part of the reason is that they need to cover the attrition of the inevitible number of these high risk loans that are going to default. They are charging me 34.99%. That is higher than any of my credit cards, but it is still a better rate than the 157% the payday loan place was charging.
Overall, I am happy. I was previously paying $400 a month for that high interest loan and I had no idea how I was going to address this stack of medical bills. Now I will be paying $151 a month and the medical bills and payday loan place will be history. With any luck, I will even have some extra money to pay this loan off sooner. I didn't get as much money as I originally wanted, but they did take some big burdens off my shoulders.

Ford Park Community Group
Ford Park Community Group is a registered charity and company limited by guarantee. The group formed in 1998 after the County Council announced they were going to sell Ford Park, which had formally been the playing fields of the nearby school.The newly-formed community group were given a 30 year lease, with an option to purchase within seven years. This enabled the group to develop plans to restore the park and to put it on a sustainable footing.
With the help of a loan from the Architectural Heritage Fund, the group purchased Ford Park from Cumbria County Council in 2005 and have been in the process of restoration and development for almost 15 years.
Many Ulverstonians remember school days at Ford Park where they learned home economics art and chemistry, as well as motor mechanics and pig husbandry.
The fields of Ford Park are also much-loved by the community as a venue for major events like the finale of the Lantern Procession and Carnival, as well as a place to play a game of football, cricket, frizzby or perhaps just to picnic on a sunny day, along with being a general meeting place for walking your dogs. The latest addition to our park is the natural play area, with a pendulum swing, zip wire, five way swing and climbing frame. With additional play furniture for mums, dads and grandparents to sit this has become a popular attraction which is always busy.
Our group is made up of trustees, members, volunteers and supporters from the community. The main objective of the group is to secure the future of Ford Park for the enjoyment of the community.
Recently we secured finance from the Community Builders fund, in the form of a grant and a loan to make major changes to the Coach House which has become the groups new headquarters, whilst the older part of the building is now a busy cafe/bistro open seven days a week. The newly-refurbished first floor function room, with a lift for disabled access, is used by a myriad of community users and groups as well as for social functions
The large walled Victorian kitchengarden has been restored to it's former glory with a Local Food grant from the Big Lottery, and is tended by our head gardener, Sarah, working alongside our volunteers. The produce from our garden is used to serve the cafe, whilst surplus produce is offered for sale. The grounds and fields are maintained by our volunteers and members.
The Trust employ a C.E.O, Volunteer Co-ordinator, a Head Gardener and a Cleaner.
The Coach House Cafe is run as a social enterprise and employs a Head Chef and a team of ten staff.
We host numerous events, Car Boot Sales, and other fund-raising activities and meet on Volunteers Days to work in the grounds and enjoy a day out in the fresh air. Anyone can join, you can get as involved as you wish. Some members just like to receive our monthly Newsletters, and come to the AGM, whilst others come along to monthly meetings, volunteer to help at events, work in the grounds or in the kitchen garden.
If you want to help shape the future of Ford Park, call our Volunteer Manager for more details.

"Grey Gardens" is a home run
Published Sept. 12, 2013
One of the easy lessons to learn in life is that when you walk out onto the ledge make sure that there is something down below in case you fall. Being out on the ledge is nothing new for Dale Gutzman and his tiny Off The Wall Theatre and he has never been afraid to walk out there without something to fall off. Gutzman is out on the ledge again with the opening of "Grey Gardens," a quirky musical based on an almost 30-year-old documentary film.

Thank you!
Happy and more dreamy!
Same problem with me ..
I sincerely hope things go well up.
Hello! In the last 10 pages of "Stock Footage" section no one sold clip. I still think video frames are not assessed.
Two months since sales are low and things are not going well.
Until that date, no sale. I think markets are updated too frequently. This is as useful as it is harmful to the authors. I personally liked not – little visual markets a year ago. The more simple in appearance – more effective and friendly to customers. Of course there are many improvements that are worth your time.
With me now everything is ok. Problem solved!
Me too…Same problem here!! Until now I have not had problems. Count on automatic monthly payment options. I hope everything is okay.

Visiting a Thai Restaurant 05
Late this afternoon I went back to the row of restaurants along the Gulf of Thailand in Samut Prakan (click here for previous blog). The restaurant I visited this time was called Sailom Bangpoo. I was impressed with both the food and service at these two restaurants. If you live in Samut Prakan and would like to visit these restaurants then just head out towards Ancient City along Sukhumwit Road. The turning for Bangsaen 2 is on the right not long after the Standing Buddha. You will need to go beyond and do a u-turn. Soi 71 is just after the Shell petrol station. You can also go down Soi 70 to visit neighbouring restaurants.
����Ӽ���� - som dtam pon-la-maai
Papaya salad with fruit (35 baht)
This is, of course, the famous som tam which is popular with many foreigners. However, this version comes with mixed fruit. I should have this one more often as I liked it.
��駼Ѵ�������� - goong pat pong ga ree
Fried shrimp with curry powder (120 baht)
This is now the fourth version of this curry I have had. The most expensive is with crab. These can cost up to 800 baht even though there never seems to be much meat. However, the other week I had a new version which is a crab with a soft shell. On that one you can eat everything. The other version I had was the cheapest one as it was cooked with chicken. Today I had a shrimp version. Still good. If you get a chance, order this curry. But, don't forget, the most expensive is not always the best.
��駡�����ͧ - goong gra-beuang
Shrimp in hard batter (80 baht)
This is an interesting starter (though as usual it came towards the end). It is minced shrimp fried in flour. It is soft like pitta bread and you dip it in a sweet sauce. Interesting though maybe a little expensive here for what you are getting. I would buy this one again only if the price was cheaper.
�Ѵ���ᵡ��� - pat bpo dtaek haeng
Spicy stir-fried seafood (120 baht)
The final one in our meal today wasn't my choice. I think I have mentioned before that I am not that keen on seafood. (Apart from the above of course). However, other people would like it.
With two bottles of beer, that meal came to 550 baht. Maybe a little on the expensive side but we did have four dishes. For two of us, we shoud have gone for three dishes. This was a good restaurant with fast and efficient service. And, like Rabieng Ta-le the other week, it had a fine sea breeze and a wonderful view of the setting sun. If you have the time and energy, you can walk quite far along the seafront. A great place to go at the end of the day.
