Hockey Great Phil Goyette Knows What It's Like To Coach An Expansion Team
Print Comment
By Don Laible
As a lifetime New York Islanders fan , I've always wanted to speak with Phil Goyette - the team's first coach . So, this past Thursday I did.
During the Islanders expansion season of 1972 - '73 , the boys skating on Long Island in the brand spanking new Nassau Coliseum had a rough time. When the season came to a close, the record would read 12 - 60 - 6. For little more than half of the season Phil Goyette was the coach. The announcement came just four months before the first puck in an Islanders game was to be dropped. " They ( Isles ) were looking for anyone available " , Goyette said during our telephone conversation from his Lachine, Quebec home. " I interviewed for the job after the draft, so I had nothing to say about the team ".
Bill Torrey, the Islanders first general manager, is who hired Goyette. During a 16-season NHL career that saw him win four Stanley Cup rings as a member of the Montreal Canadiens, Goyette, 79, recalls his one and only head coaching tenure as if it were yesterday. Still living in the same home since the 1950's when breaking in with Montreal, Goyette recaps the creation of then New York's third NHL club. " The WHA ( World Hockey Association expansion league ) was coming. The Islanders lost more than three quarters of the playeres they drafted to the WHA ", says Goyette. " We ( Isles ) didn't have much to work with. The only experienced players I had were Eddie Westfall and a few others ".
As the expansion season began for Goyette and his team which included future Islanders Cup winners Billy Smith, Bobby Nystrom, and Lorne Henning, it became clear that patience would be needed by management and the fan base. After getting off to a 6 - 40 - 4 record, Goyette was fired. Earl Ingarfield,Sr. , Goyette's replacement , finished out the inaugural run on the Island tallying a 6 - 22 - 2 record. " The team wanted me to stay with them in a different capacity. I went home to Quebec. They ( Isles ) made a change, I imagine to keep the fans from leaving. I don't hold any grudges with the organization " .
As he looks back at the roster he had to work with in the fall of '72, Goyette knew he would be in for a rocky start, if not a bumpy ride all the way through April. Many of the young Islanders were only 18 and 19-years old, just out of juniors. " They weren't Gretzkys ", Goyette states. After Goyette, and his substitute Ingarfield,Sr. were excused , Al Arbour was hired. The following season ( 1973 - '74 ) the Islanders would win seven more games than registered the previous campaign, however there would be a dynasty building at the Colieum that would lead the team to five consecutive Stanley Cup Finals and four consecutive championships. " After I left the Islanders drafted Trottier and Bossy and things started to turn around for the team. It takes time to build a successful team with young players ", Goyette tells.
Being part of an expansion process wasn't new for Goyette on the Island. As a player on the Buffalo Sabres inaugural roster during the 1970 - 1971 season, Goyette sees a distinct difference of skating in Western New York and coaching in Uniondale. Having "older' players as teammates such as Eddie Shack and Dick Duff, plus the very first Sabre drafted Gil Perreault who the organization would build their future around , saw 24 victories captured during year one - twice as what the baby Islanders could muster up.
" I took the opportunity offered but I should have never done it ", believes Goyette. " I was just out of the NHL as a player ". There are some positive memories for the first-ever Islanders bench boss, who centered for Montreal, St. Louis, Rangers, and Sabres during his playing days. A 9 - 1 victory in Boston over the Bruins comes to mind , first. Goyette tells of acting as the Islanders traveling secretary, as well. " They ( management ) didn't know how to make an itinerary on the road; how to get transportation, where to practice. I had to show them the way ", Goyette explains.
Being part of history with an expansion team had to be rough for someone of Goyette's pedigree having grown up in the winning culture of the Montreal Canadiens. " We ( Canadiens ) won four Cups in a row. I played with the Rocket ( Hall of Famer Maurice Richard ) and so many greats ", Goyette fondly recalls. Today, it's playing golf three or four times a week and walking a lot, for Goyette. His voice is perky and his recollection of events of many decades back are sharp in detail. Coaching wasn't his calling, especially on Long Island, but Phil Goyette is okay with that. He really is proud to have been a player - and he says so as eloquently as any.

Venezuelan Police Murdered at Record Levels, for Their Firearms
EspañolSoaring crime in Caracas throughout 2014 has given it the unenviable ranking of second most violent city in the world, with a murder rate of 155 for every 100,000 inhabitants, according to Mexican NGO Security, Justice, and Peace. In the Venezuelan capital, not even the state's security forces are safe: during the first 29 days of 2015, criminals murdered 13 of the city's uniformed officers. Circumstances varied, but in the majority of cases, the perpetrators killed police to steal their firearms.
"The criminal sees the policeman not as a figure of authority, but as an equal, and he doesn't respect his equals," Elisio Guzmán, Miranda State police (Polimiranda) chief, with 40 years in the force, told the PanAm Post.
"Killing a state official gives the criminal prestige within his criminal gang, and also the chance to easily obtain a firearm."
On January 9, the security camera in a shopping center captured the moment when a uniformed Polimiranda officer entered a bakery and was attacked by a criminal at his side. The perpetrator shot him and stole his regulation firearm. The victim was 49-year-old Detective Supervisor Álvaro Blanco Escobar.
His 20 years as a police officer weren't enough to avoid becoming another victim of criminals. His attacker saw that Escobar had temporarily dropped his guard, and viewed it as a chance to get another firearm. Without any hesitation, he shot Escobar in the head, and took the gun from his belt the second he fell to the floor.
Just Another Statistic
The killing of police officers in Caracas has increased at pace with rising crime levels. In 2010, 59 officers were killed, rising to 84 in 2011, and 106 in 2012. The figure fell slight to 100 in 2013, but then rose to a record 132 in 2014. In other words, police killings have risen by 124 percent in the past four years.
388 members of various state security forces were murdered in 2014, while the same figure was 295 in 2013, representing an increase of 31 percent.
"In Venezuela, the death of a police officer is just another statistic," says Javier Gorriño, a lawyer and former head of the now-defunct Technical Judicial Police (PTJ). "When something similar happens in other countries, the authorities announce it, there's justice, there are punishments for the criminals and a clear message to society about the importance of valuing and respecting authority."
The expert argues that the limited effectiveness of criminal investigations results in sky-high levels of impunity for common crimes, directly encouraging increased police murders.
"The police officer is another member of society," says Gorriño. "He's just as exposed as the rest of Venezuelans, but he stands out more to the criminal because he's also got a firearm. The criminal identifies him, and kills him almost without thinking, because he knows that if the officer identifies him first, he can use his gun first."
And the trend goes beyond regular police. Venezuelan NGO the Foundation for Due Process reveals in its latest report that 388 members of various state security forces were murdered in 2014, while the same figure was 295 in 2013, representing an increase of 31 percent in only one year.
Where a Gun is Worth a Life
In Venezuela, restrictions have been in place on the sale of firearms since June 2010, with various additions restricting the ownership and personal possession of guns, as well as the kinds of ammunition available. But none of these measures have stemmed the rising tide of gun-related killings. Instead, killing police officers for their sidearms has become an even more lucrative option.
With various [restrictions] … killing police officers for their sidearms has become an even more lucrative option.
According to specialists consulted by the PanAm Post, the black market value of an automatic firearm, such as those issued to uniformed police, is between 60,000 and 80,000 bolívares. The value of an armed police officer's life for a criminal is thus around US$400 at the black-market exchange rate.
"The policing profession in Venezuela has become less prestigious for various reasons," says criminal lawyer Luis Izquiel.
"First, both criminals and society at large see the police officer as just another criminal, but with official credentials. Second, low salaries and precarious socioeconomic positions place officers among the same social strata as those who commit the crimes. And finally," Izquiel concludes, "widespread impunity means that committing a crime in the country is increasingly easy, because there are no punishments."
He adds that police academies should take several measures to reduce the risks faced by their officers. The lawyer suggests that by prohibiting officers from going out on patrol alone, and from going out wearing their uniform and firearm when off-duty, the probability of being surprised by criminals will be significantly reduced.

Freedom House: Global Liberty Declines Ninth Year Running
EspañolFor the ninth consecutive year, the number of countries worldwide where freedom has declined (61) is almost twice those where levels of liberty increased (33). This was the key finding of the annual Freedom in the World study published on January 28 by Freedom House, analyzing the civil liberties and political rights available to citizens in 195 states in 2014. Forty six percent (89) of the nations studied were classified as free, 28 percent (55) as partially free, and the remaining 26 percent (51) were classified as "not free." The report, subtitled "Discarding Democracy: Return to the Iron Fist," rates the countries on a scale of 1 to 7, 1 being the highest score. The worst cases were found in the Middle East and Africa (including Syria, Equatorial Guinea, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, among others), as well as North Korea. The decline in global freedom was largely due to increased state surveillance and control of the individual, coupled with restrictions on communication on the internet, particularly in authoritarian regimes. The report concludes that strengthening democratic institutions is the key to freedom in any country. Antidemocratic tendencies often contribute to humanitarian crises, the authors found, and they also enable terrorist groups to flourish, which can have knock-on effects on the international community. "Will established democracies recognize that global assaults on free institutions represent a threat to their national interests," the study asked, "exemplified by the actions of the United States and the European Union against Russia when it invaded Ukraine?" The study also condemned the international community's failure to protest against human-rights violations allegedly committed by the Venezuelan government. "Indeed, acceptance of democracy as the world's dominant form of government — and of an international system built on democratic ideals — is under greater threat than at any point in the last 25 years," expressed Arch Puddington, vice president of research, in a press release. Puddington added that in the past, authoritarian regimes would claim to respect international conventions and support democratic elections and human rights. But the academic said that such regimes are currently pushing for a single-party system, looking for ways to eliminate the international and domestic checks and balances that limit them. America, a Continent of Contradictions On December 17, 201, Barack Obama and Raúl Castro announced their intentions to resume diplomatic relations between the United States and Cuba after more than 50 years. But the event scarcely marked a turning point for freedom in the Americas, even if Cuba's freedom ranking did improve slightly thanks to growth of the free press. Instead, lack of respect for human rights in Mexico (3.0) and the United States (1.0) both saw a marked decrease in civil liberties, with the cases of Ayotzinapa, Iguala, and Ferguson, Missouri as prominent examples. Venezuela (5.0) was similarly "partially free," and in 2014 was characterized as having a repressive government during the student protests of last February and March. Examples of government repression included state security forces using violence against protesters, arresting political dissidents, and a lack of due process and respect for the human rights of those arrested. According to the Venezuelan Program for Education and Action in Human Rights, that number was more than 3,100 (Provea). The study also labelled Ecuador (3.0) as a partially free country, citing several high-profile attacks on free press in the Andean country — including a new law restricting the media and encouraging the harassment of journalists. El Salvador (2.5) stood out as an island of relative freedom, despite ongoing gang violence. Freedom House classified the Central-American country as a free country, citing strong freedom of the press, freedom of expression, strong and active civil society. Since El Salvador's 1992 Peace Agreement, it has had as many progressive as conservative governments. El Salvador's achievements were in clear contrast to Guatemala and Honduras, both with similar indexes for violence, which were rated as "partially free." Chile and Venezuela: Divergent Paths The report explores how Latin-American freedom has changed in the past 20 years. Between 1995 and 2000, Chile's government became a full democracy, while Venezuela endured constitutional amendments at the hands of the recently elected President Hugo Chávez. Twenty years later, both countries have diverged even further in terms of civil and political rights; Freedom House's interactive chart allows readers to compare the trajectory of freedom in each country. Since 2004, the Venezuelan government has had legal sanction to control radio and television content. Civil liberties have suffered, most markedly in the past year, including press freedom, the report noted, highlighting the risk of intimidation and violence that citizens face when protesting. The presence of opposition voices in the media has also markedly declined. Problems arose last year when print media experienced problems in purchasing paper; the state controls the supply of paper and ink, as well as major printing houses. On Tuesday, January 27, the Defense Ministry issued a resolution which permitted the armed forces to use firearms and lethal force in order to contain "disorder" and "support the legitimate authority." By contrast, freedom of expression in Chile is generally respected, according to Freedom House. There are no restrictions on access to the internet, and means of communication are private. The Chilean Constitution guarantees these liberties, yet the topic of human rights abuses during the Pinochet dictatorship (1973-1990), and a large number of unsolved cases, still weigh heavily on the country. Freedom House also noted that economic liberty fell short in Chile, citing what it viewed as excessive regulation and price fixing between companies. Translated by Thalia C. Siqueiros.

3eme Grenadiers-ŕ-Pied de la Garde Imperiale 1810-1813
By Paul Dawson
The coronation of Louis Bonaparte on 16th June 1806 as King of Holland resulted in the formation of a Royal Body Guard on 4th July. The new Guard consisted of a regiments of Hussars, Chasseurs-ŕ-Pied, Grenadiers-ŕ-Pied and artillery.
Louis was a good King to his subjects and quickly realised that his brothers continental system would ruin Holland's mercantile trade, the basis of its economy, and so allowed English ships into his ports. This lead to Louis being made to abdicate his throne and Holland being annexed by France by the Imperial Decree of 1st July 1810. Article 4 of the decree stipulated that
'the Royal Guard was to be united with the Imperial Guard'
The remainder of the army was incorporated in to the armies of France. Marshall Oudinot commanded the army of occupation, which was to occupy the main towns and strategic locations. On 14th July,, with cries of 'Vive l'Empereur, Lieutenant-General Lebrun, Duc de Plaisance ,was placed in command of the new departments of Holland.
In Paris, Napoleon applied great energy to the structure and administration of the new departments, the administration being based on the French model. Revue Inspector Comte Daru based in Amsterdam arranged the transfer of the Royal Guard to France and he was encouraged by Napoleon, for the recruitment of soldiers of other nations into the Guard. In recruiting these men, Napoleon hoped to bind them and their countries to the Empire. The Decree of 9 July 1810, which incorporated Holland into metropolitan France. On 13 September 1810, Napoleon began the process of incorporating the Royal Dutch into the French Imperial Guard. Though the Dutch Grenadiers would slip from the position of the Second to the Third Guard Grenadier Regiment and they never attained the status of "Old Guard" they did occupy a position of prestige and status within the French army. The 2e Chevauleger-lanciers de la garde (hollandaise), however, did rise from the status of Middle Guard in 1811 to the having its first five squadrons designated as Old Guard in 1813. The promotion to the status of Old Guard put the Dutch lancers on the pinnacle of the pecking order of the French army. How much more prestige could a unit be granted?
The support of Holland was important to France for several reasons and by making Dutchmen members of his personal guard Napoleon sought to show the Dutch that they were highly regarded members of French society. The military contribution of Holland to the regular French army was very small and consisted of four infantry regiments and some artillery. Its membership in the Imperial Guard, a grenadier regiment and a cavalry regiment (some 2,568 men) was quite out of proportion to its approximately 15,000 man contribution to the regular army. The significance of Holland lay in its commercial and financial support of the Empire, not its military resources. By making such a major portion of its contribution to the Imperial Army part of the Imperial Guard Napoleon sought to demonstrate to the Dutch people the esteem in which he held them, and thereby, bind them to him and his empire.
On 31 July, Napoleon ordered the transfer of the Royal Guard to France. They left Amsterdam on 5August after an inspecting, which lasted, from 11:30 to 14:00 by Comte Daru. Wearing their white uniforms, faced crimson with yellow brandenbourg lacing, bearskin cap with tall scarlet plume, the regiment made a magnificent site. The Grenadiers were commanded by General Sels (1762-1841). Capitain Pioch of the 1e Chasseurs-ŕ-Pied de la Garde guided the guard, to the capital and was in charge of the columns' logistics when in France. Marching from town to town, the Dutchmen reached Malines, to participate in the fetes for Saint-Napoleon on 15 August. Under a radiant sun they arrived at Valanciennes on 20 August, step-by-step they were approaching Paris and the 'Tondu', their new master. After a three day march, the 1,450 Grenadiers with their band at their head the Dutchmen entered the capital of the Emperor.
At 2 in the afternoon on 2 September, the Dutch troops took part in a grande revue outside the Palace of Saint-Cloud. The Revue before the Emperor started at 6 in the evening and ended at 9 at night, their way being illuminated by torches. Four days later, the Old Guard gave the new regiment of Grenadiers a welcoming reception at Versaille, which ended in an orgy of catastrophic proportions. Women were chased and attacked, men were beaten, and shops were rifled. Drunken soldiers committed outrages despite the best efforts of the police commissioner to stop them - the national guard was no match for the Old Guard, the best soldiers in Europe. Finally, towards midnight order was restored. The following day with splitting hangovers, the company commanders apologised to the Mayor to express their regrets and promised that the guilty parties would be punished.
Regimental History: 1810-1813
The Dutch officially became the 2eme Grenadiers by the Imperial Decree of 13 September 1810.
Article 1 stipulated that the Garde du Corps would be broken up, the 1st and 2nd Companies being transferred to the 2e Grenadiers (10 corporals, 99 guards, 1 fife and 2 drummers), 3e Company to the 1e Grenadiers-ŕ-Pied and 3e Company (7 corporals 60 guards, 1 fife and 2 drummers) to the 1e Chasseurs-ŕ-Pied. Forty-two Guards were incorporated into the Velites attached to the 2e Grenadiers. The 177 men destined for the 1e Grenadiers (10 sergent-majors, 161 sergents, 2 fifes and 4 drummers) along with an additional 108 guards were passed instead to the 2e Chevau-Leger Lanciers.
The Officers of the 1er Company, Colonel Avisard, Lt-Col Contamine, Capitain Luce, and 6 Lieutenants were transferred to the 1e Chasseurs-ŕ-Pied, whilst the remaining officers were passed to the 1e Grenadiers-ŕ-Pied, namely Lt-Col Roque, Capitain d'Hime, 6 Lieutenants, and Surgeon Jansen. The promotions of these men was as follows:
Article 3 saw the transformation of the Hussars of the Royal Guard into the 2e Regiment Chevau-Leger Lanciers, the famous Red Lancers. The German members of the regiment could transfer to the Berg Lancers or to one of the 4 Dutch cavalry regiments. The ex-Guard artillery company and train was incorporated into the Artillery of the Guard by Article 4.
Marshall Bessieres was to have the regiments organised by 15 September, the surplus officers and men to be transferred to other regiments of Fusiliers, Tirailleurs or Conscrits by 1 October. Empress Marie Louis was so taken by the Grenadiers white uniform, it reminded her of her fathers army (Austria), so the uniform was retained, but the yellow laced Brandenbourgs were removed, and new buttons of the guard pattern were adopted by Articles 8 and 9.
Of the men who had joined the 2e Grenadiers, 427 were neither French nor Dutch . Of these 287 remained with the regiment, 19 left the service, 53 demanded to be transferred to Dutch regiments serving in Holland, 16 to serve in French regiments, and 52 were ill in Hospital.
The new commander of the regiment was Colonel Ralph Dundas Tindal, who was of Scottish origin and entered the army in 1785. He was an excellent officer, and intelligent of immense capabilities. On 21 September 1810, Marshall Bessieres, assisted by Baron Felix, the Revue Inspector for the Guard, officially created the 2e Regiment des Grenadiers-ŕ-Pied de la Garde at Versaille. It was organised like the 1er Regiment, having 1,600 men formed into two battalions of 4 companies each. When formed, the regiment had 46 officers, 8 sergent-majors, 23 sergents, 64 corporals, 16 Sapeurs, 16 fifes, 16 drums and 1,093 grenadiers along with 158 Velites (the future Pupilles), and 428 followers. Marshall Bessieres installed the Council of Administration with the prerequisite that the regiment had to be operational by 1 October.
The standards of the Guard had to be maintained so on 24 November 1810, the staff indicated to Bessieres that 26 members of the regiment did not qualify to be members of the Guard. To this end, 4 officers, 24 Sergents, 154 corporals and men were discharged from the Guard and passed back to the line regiments of Holland. To fill these gaps, 99 Germans who had the required service were taken into the regiment. They were 1 surgeon-major, 2 sergeants, 96 corporals and grenadiers. Of this number 3 were Italians, 15 Austrian, 6 Polish, 3 Pomeranians, 2 Swiss and 70 from the Confederation of the Rhine states. On 21 January 1811, 7 grenadiers (6 from the 3e Company and 1 from 4e Company) had gained a reputation for poor conduct, and were disciplined; 1 grenadier was hospitalised due to venereal infection, and 8 others from 2e Company were also hospitalised at Zutphen.
On the anniversary of the Coronation, the 2e Grenadiers celebrated like the rest of the Guard with a celebratory ball and meal. The music was lead by the newly appointed Tambour-Major Siliakus, some 2 meters 10 centimeters tall. Life in garrison continued throughout the winter of 1810, and moved to new lodgings near the Panthemont on the Rue de Grenelle-Saint-Germain. They were joined by 12 sapeurs and the Chef d'Musique Olivier for the guard mounting parades, which took place twice a day. In March, they relieved the 1e Grenadiers of their duties in guarding the Imperial Palace. In summer the guard would change at 9 in the morning; in winter at midday. For these parades, the grenadiers would be served their morning soup at 8 in the morning.
On 20 March 1811, cannon boomed across Paris, all waited for the 21 shot, announcing the birth of Napoleon's son and heir. Ten days later, after a parade of the Guard through Paris, Napoleon signed a decree making the Velites of the 2e Grenadiers the Guards of the King of Rome, the official title of his son. These Guards, were best known as the Pupilles. The Pupilles were formed by Louis, and were the orphaned children of army officers and NCOs who had been killed on campaign, as well as taking the best children from the orphanages of Holland. The Pupilles were expanded by the Imperial Decree of 30 August, and it received its own administration. To furnish the required number of officers, the following men were transferred from the Grenadiers to the new regiment on 23 December in accordance to the decree of 6th December:
The Duc de Frioul proudly announced to Napoleon on 24 April 1811 that the 2e Grenadiers were full equipped and had a full complement of officers and men. Indeed, he was proud to note that 80 men had been furnished to the 4 Dutch regiments, and 20 had been returned home or promoted. Sergeant Melchoir Hoek had been promoted as Lieutenant-en-Second in the 127e Ligne on 8 April.
War with Russia was plainly coming, so Napoleon turned once more to enlarge his Guard. At Rambouillet on 18 May, he ordered the creation of the 2e Regiment des Grenadiers-ŕ-Pied, taking back the old number 2. The 2e became the 3e Grenadiers, which would last for the rest of their history.
By June 1811, the Guard and the Empire was at its apogee of glory: Napoleon was Emperor of the French, King of Italy, Moderator of the Swiss, Protector of the Confederation of the Rhine, Viceroy of Italy, Naples, Westphalia, Bavaria, Saxony, and Wurtembourg; all of European monarchy from kings and Emperors to princes and dukes came to Paris to the baptism of his son. The infantry regiments of the Guard lined the processional way to Notre Dame. On 23 June a huge banquet was given by the Guard. The Emperor personally paid every guardsman 3 francs to thank them. On 30 June, at the Tuileries Palace, the 3e Grenadiers paraded before the Emperor to receive a new eagle. The ceremony began at 2 in the afternoon, the retreat was beaten 8 hours later to summon the Grenadiers back to barracks, but many did not leave Versaille until 2 in the morning.
Throughout June, at the request of the Empress, the 3e Grenadiers guarded her at Versaille, their white uniforms reminding her of home. Indeed, the regiment containing many German speakers, lead to a degree of familiarity growing between the Empress and the Regiment. Lieutenant-en-Second Jacobus Scharp (1781-1858) notes that the Empress would often bid him good night 'Das braucht ja nicht immer, Herr Leutnant'.
For two years, or thereabouts, the regiment had been barracked in Pairs, with three months on guard at the Palace in rotation with the other regiments of the Guard. They had seen no fighting. The future for France was full of foreboding with the Tondu's relationship with the Tsar deteriorating.
A great parade was held in Paris on 12 January 1812, to celebrate the New Year. In the same month the 3e took up duty as the Paris Garrison having completed their duty at Versaille. Inspections became more frequent and severe as the regiment was put through its paces. In February, a great number of the Guard was assembled to be ready to campaign in Poland. On 19 February, de Quaij, an officer in the Regiment, wrote to his cousin ' the 3e Grenadiers-ŕ-Pied de la Garde leave tomorrow, the 20th, for Metz. We will pass through Paris. Its war!' On 10 March, war was inevitable, and Napoleon decided that he would only take the eagle of the 1e Grenadiers on campaign, those of the 2e and 3e regiments to remain in Paris. The Old Guard (1e, 2e, 3e Grenadiers, 1e and 2e Chasseurs) was formed into the 3e Division, a total of 10 battalions, commanded by General Curial. Although only the eagles of the 1er Regiment were taken, the other regiments carried fanions in the national colours.
On 18 March, Napoleon ordered Bessieres and the Old Guard to continue their march to Wurzberg. The Guard marched in 3 columns with the 3e Grenadiers at the head. The Old Guard reached Wurzberg by 9 April, when Capitain Quaij noted that rumours about war were circulating throughout the army; that 4 regiments of the Young Guard were marching from Spain to join the Grande Armee as well as the Polish regiments in Spain. The rumours were right! On 10 April, Napoleon wrote to Berthier, ordering the Duke of Danzig to leave Mayence, and to take command of the division of the Old Guard, and for the Guard to join him in Dresden between the 20th and 25th of April.
On 23 April, at 8 in the morning, the Foot Guard entered Dresden, the Duke of Danzig joining them for the Parade. The Grenadiers and Chasseurs wore full dress with their sapeurs and bands at their head. The band of the 3e Grenadiers was placed at the Palace and played during a revue by General Tindal, who commanded the Grenadiers and Boyer de Rebeval who commander the Chasseurs. What a spectacle it must have been 5,000 bearskins with their red or red and green plumes. The 2e Grenadiers were dressed like the 1e, but were younger and fitter men and made a better appearance than their seniors.
After the parade, the 3e were billeted in the nearby village of Reitzensteins, and had now grown in number. A company of 200 women had attached itself to the regiment, acting as vivandiers, cantineres and blanchisseues, and were escorted by a detachment of Chasseurs-ŕ-Cheval. A number of carpenters and workmen had also attached themselves to the Regiment. The Regiment's stay in Dresden was obviously to the liking of many. Captain de Quaij noted that Dresden was a nice place, the environs being beyond description, and that it was in fact two towns separated by the Elbe River. He also noted that the King of Saxony was a good Catholic and that in church and chapel, music of a superior composition could be found. Many of the singers he notes were castrati and belonged to the Kings household.
Soon after, the Regiment was ordered to march at Night to Glogau, a journey of some 14 hours. The officers place their belongings in the regimental carts, while shoes and biscuits were distributed, as well as horseshoes for officers horses. On Sunday, 9 May, the Emperor accompanied by Marie Louise left Saint-Cloud for Dresden, being received by the King of Saxony on the 16th at Freybourg, and greeted by fireworks and salvos of artillery. One after another, the sovereigns of Europe arrive, the Princes of Weimar, Coburg, Mecklenburg, Grande duc de Wurzberg, the Primate of the Confederation of the Rhine, the King and Queen of Westphalia. On 18 May, the Emperor of Austria arrived; the King of Prussia on the 26th.
In Dresden, on 21 May, Napoleon wrote to Berthier to order the 2e Chasseurs-ŕ-Pied, and 2e and 3e Grenadiers to depart Glogau for Posen to arrive by the 22nd. On 14 June, the Regiment arrived at Thorn where the Emperor had established his headquarters. In the town the depots and hospitals of the Guard had been established. Of the 1,200 men were suffering from the heat and dehydration: 300 men were in the existing hospitals, 600 were placed in the town hall, and 300 in other buildings. It was also here that Capitain de Quaij recalled that he and other members of the regiment would often hear the Napoleon singing when in the bath or at the toilet through an open window. This was because he liked to listen to the band of the 1e Grenadiers, which had been established at the Palace.
A revue took place the same day, and full of good humour, the Emperor had 14 NCO's formed a line with the Sous-Lieutenants of the Corps commanded by General Tindal to be presented with the Cross of the Legion of Honour. After a brief repost, the Regiment departed for Osterrode where they would meet 'father in law' (The Austrian Emperor).
By 13 June, the 3e Grenadiers were at Heilsberg, and the 17th Insterburg, only a 20 hour march from Russia. The 20th of June saw the distribution of rations for six days, consisting of 12 ounces of bread, 5 ounces of flour, 1 ounce of rice. The officers checked that the men had kept their reserves fresh and had not eaten them. On 23 June, the Regiment crossed the Niemen River into Russia, with the band at their head and colours floating in the breeze. Slowly the Grande Armee crossed the expansive planes of the Russia. Many soldiers succumbed to the heat and fatigue in that hot summer, and as the columns marched through the vast forests the number of deserters increased. The army arrived at Vilna on the 28th. Although the town had been evacuated; it was where the regiment was billeted. Here food and drink could be purchased, a bottle of wine cost 5 francs, a cheese 4 francs, a small loaf 1 franc. After a day, four regiments of the Young Guard were placed in the same quarter of the town. Food cost too much even for the officers. Beef stew cost 6 sous and potatoes were sold individually.
The Emperor reviewed his Guard on 19 July, when 14 regiments paraded before him. After a rest of 6 hours, Napoleon ordered the army to advance to Gloubokie, upon reaching this destination the 3e Regiment had 38 officers and 1,074 men. Nearly 600 men had left the Regiment due to illness or desertion since leaving Dresden. Perhaps it was the lack of experiencing campaign life that made the 3e suffer more than the other guard regiments, as this was their first, and indeed last, campaign.
No bread, no water, dry hot dust clogging the eyes and nose, the men began to suffer, and many died from diarrhea. The retreating Russian army burnt or destroyed everything in its wake. Some officers were wishing they were back being bored on Palace duty than being stuck in Russia
On 16 August, the Army arrived at Smolensk, the town being defended by 120,00 Russian troops. By 1 in the morning of the 17th of July, Smolensk was in French hands. The stench of the quickly decaying corpses prevented the Guard from enjoying the pleasures of victory in the town. On the 19th, a Russian general, found hiding in the town, refused to surrender and was bayoneted by the Grenadiers. On the 21st, Capitain de Quaij noted that he was able to eat pain au raisin in a café. At midday he was able to purchase eggs, as well as some sugar for 8 francs and some beer for 4 francs. On the 24th, the army began to quit Smolensk, for the Russians were withdrawing to defend Moscow. The Regiment survived Borodino intact, like the rest of the Guard Infantry who saw no action even after repeated requests that the Guard would tip the battle in Napoleon's favour rather than a long drawn out stalemate.
Napoleon entered Moscow on 14 September. Moscow was put to the flame which forced Napoleon to withdraw. By 10 October the 5 regiments of the Old Guard mustered 195 officers and 6,003 men; the 3e had 39 officers and 714 men, nearly 1000 men had been lost since July. On 19 October, the army quit Moscow after Napoleon had waited for nearly a month for the Tsar to sue for Peace. The retreat from Moscow had begun.
"Grenadiers, we are retreating without being conquered by the enemy; let us not be vanquished by ourselves! Set an example to the army. Several of you have already deserted your eagles, and even thrown away your arms. I have no wish to have recourse to military laws to put a stop to this disorder, but appeal entirely to your sense of duty. Do justice to yourselves. To your own honour I commit the maintenance of your discipline."
This was all that was needed to make the grenadiers firm as iron. In fact it was rather whipping the other troops over the Old Guard's shoulders, for amid the general panic that prevailed in the darkness, when all believed the enemy was upon them, Napoleon on his return, found them standing in perfect order, and ready to charge ten or ten thousand alike.
But the horrors of this march increased as he advanced towards the Beresina, and when he arrived near that fatal river, he ordered all his eagles to be burned, together with half the wagons and carriages of the army, and the horses to be given to the artillery of the Guard. He commanded them also to lay hands on all the draught cattle within their reach, not sparing even his own horses, rather than leave a single cannon or ammunition wagon behind. Eighteen hundred dismounted cavalry of the Guard were rallied into two battalions, although but eleven hundred of them could be supplied with muskets or carbines. All the officers of the cavalry of the army that still had horses, formed themselves into a "sacred squadron" for the protection of the person of the emperor; and with this and the Old Guard as a fixed and central orb to retain the vast and straggling multitude -- Napoleon, with a sack of poison on his breast to take in the last extremity rather than fall into the hands of the Cossacks, plunged into the gloomy forest of Minsk, and pressed forward to the desperate conflict that awaited him on the banks of the Beresina. Amid the double darkness of the night and the forest, thousands perished, and Napoleon with knit brow and compressed lip saw men in raging delirium constantly falling at his feet wildly entreating for help.
The frightful disorder that arose among the multitude during the awful passage of the Beresina, when the Old Guard at last began to cross, shows with what feelings the army regarded it. It was compelled to clear a passage for the emperor with the bayonet, though one corps of grenadiers, out of mere compassion, refused to exercise force on the despairing, pleading wretches, even to save themselves.
Still they stood firm. Napoleon had said to them, "Grenadiers of my Guard, you are witnesses of the disorganization of the army. The greater part of your brethren have, by a deplorable fatality, thrown away their arms. If you imitate this sad example, all hope will be lost. The safety of the army is confided to you. You will justify the good opinion I have had of you. It is necessary not only that the officers among you maintain a severe discipline, but also that the soldiers should exercise a rigorous surveillance, and themselves punish those who attempt to leave their ranks."
Having reached the opposite banks, they defended them during the succeeding days of storm, and battle, and death that marked the passage. It encamped near the ruins of Brelowa, in the open fields with Napoleon, also unsheltered, in their midst. During the day they were drawn up in order of battle, while the driving snow covered them as with a shroud; at night they bivouacked in a square around their suffering, yet intrepid leader. These veterans of a hundred battles would sit on their knapsacks feeding their feeble fires, their elbows planted on their knees, and their heads resting on their hands, doubling themselves up for the twofold purpose of retaining the little warmth they possessed, and of feeling less acutely the gnawings of empty stomachs. The nights were nearly sixteen hours long, and either filled with clouds of snow, or so piercing cold that the thermometer sunk to twenty, and sometimes to over thirty degrees below zero. Painful marches, fierce battles, tattered clothing, cold, and famine combined, were too much for human endurance, and in a few days one third of the Guard perished.
One who had seen that corps, on a review day in Paris, would not have recognized its uniform in the tattered vestments that half protected their persons. But they never murmured, never broke their solid formation, but clenching firmly with frozen fingers their muskets, struggled, and died at their posts.
The army was back at Mojaisk by the 28th of October, the ground was still strewn with the decaying cadavers from the battle of 7 September. The Old Guard rested at Ghjastk on the 30th and were issued with four days of rations from the remaining caissons. On the 8th of November the Old Guard entered Smolensk once more and on the 14th, they arrived in Krasnoi. It was here that the 3e Grenadiers would fight their last battle. The 16,000 men of the Guard fought against 35,000 Russians, and won, saving the army, but at a high price. Of the 380 remaining members of the 3e Grandiers, 36 officers and only 17 men would survive past this point. The 3e Grenadiers no longer existed.
The army arrived at Vilna on 6 December. The Old Guard had 1,312 men and 278 officers left. Only 500 were in fighting condition.
In January 1813, the Regiment consisted of 18 officers and 17 men. During the campaign, 6 officers had died (Charles-Jacob-Rudolphe de Quaij, Guilaume-Frederick Boebel, Jean-Etiene Ambos, Jean Thierry Ninebar, Gautier-Henri Paets , Jean-Herman Roskamp), 12 had disappeared since 12 December ( Jean Antoine Roevlink, Jean-Samuel-Ennemond Carteret, Gerard-Henri-Akersloots Van Houten, Louis-Otton-Antoine Bagelaar, Louis-Otton-Antoine Overreith, Abraham Jean Huygens, Jean-Hubert Janssen, Braskamp, Gualtere van der Hoeff, Gerard Bruigom, Francois Goosens, Joseph Troegg), and 4 were resting in the hospital at Vilna. Bernard George Tindal lost an arm to frostbite, which was amputated upon returning to France. The sick and wounded were evacuated from Elbing, and the Regiment was disbanded by an Imperial Decree of 15th February 1813.
The officers that survived were the campaign and returned to France were promoted to other regiments in the Guard.
Chef du Bataillon Georges: Chef du Bataillon Chasseurs-ŕ-Pied
Etat Major:
On returning to France, Capitain de Quaij wrote, 'Praise be to God. The continual dangers and privations of the last 6 months, the privations and suffering is impossible to describe'. He Died in January 1813.
But its fame lasts. The courage that nothing could daunt the patient endurance under unheard of horrors, the sublime moral elevation of its character, its steadfast devotion to duty amid universal disorder, and which no bad example nor the last pangs of mortal agony could demoralize its lofty sense of honour triumphing over famine and death, will claim the admiration of the world till the end of time.

Perfection - Poem by Akshay Agrawal
O perfection!
I loved you so much.
Achieving you was my sole purpose in life
my obsession for you was such.
To have you I toiled hard.
but for my love you had no regard.
When I reached close, u moved farther away,
u kept eluding me always
U never realized, for me to do everything right was really hard
Your indifference to my love, left my heart deeply scarred
U thought me to be just flesh and blood
and made me think that way too
to u it seemed degrading
that a mere mortal may have you.
I realized I was just a man and it was my nature to mistake
knowing that I couldn't have u so, made my heart break.
I directed towards my fellow beings all the love that I had
I became a vessel of love, it flowed through me and I was glad.
All my faults, my shortcomings didn't matter anymore
I felt heavenly,
I realized I was not just this body, I was something more.
O perfection, I see, u have started losing your identity
I have become what perfection is, and u r morphing into me.
But I realize this is not something new
Of course, I was the one who created you.
All along I was the perfect one
and my perception of what u were, was just an illusion.
Poet's Notes about The Poem
Once I was thinking over life's purpose, love and what should be one's attitude in life and when I felt I came across a plausible answer I started feeling good about myself and kind of felt a high. I wrote this poem to capture that feeling.

Country notes with main key findings of the book and key fact tables: a customised snapshot of a country's educational environment, highlighting the most important issues in the educational landscape.
English, PDF, 820kb
While a large proportion of adults in the United States have university-level education, the tertiary attainment rate is increasing much faster in many other countries.
OECD Secretary-General, Angel Gurría is pleased to announce the appointment of Ms. Catherine L. Mann as the new OECD Chief Economist. Her appointment will reinforce the OECD's commitment to identifying and promoting better policies for better lives around the world.
This paper uses data from the American Life Panel to understand the determinants of well-being in the United States during the Great Recession. It investigates how various dimensions of subjective well-being reflected in the OECD Better Life Framework impact subjective well-being.
This study aims to assess the degree of institutional fragmentation of transport and land use planning in Chicago. It provides an overview of local governments in metropolitan Chicago and mechanisms for coordination. Five main challenges are identified.
This paper studies the association between US long term interest rates and cycles of capital flows to emerging market economies (EMEs). It finds that, indeed, cycles in capital flows to EMEs are linked to global conditions, including global risk aversion and long term interest rates in the United States.
Since around 2007, the country has been enjoying an "energy renaissance" thanks to its abundant stocks of shale oil and gas. The resurgence in oil and gas production is beginning to create discernible economic impacts and has changed the landscape for natural gas prices in the United States, boosting competitiveness.
Despite relative affluence, workplace stress is a prominent feature of the US labour market. To the extent that job stress causes poor health outcomes – either directly through increased blood ressure, fatigue, muscle pain, etc. or indirectly through increased rates of cigarette smoking – policy to lessen job stress may be appropriate.
Life is quite good in the United States compared to other OECD countries, thanks to strong economic growth and technological progress having lifted average income to high levels. Nonetheless, there is evidence that the benefits from growth have not been sufficiently broad based.
As the significance of the creative economy continues to grow, important synergies with tourism are emerging, offering considerable potential to grow demand and develop new products, experiences and markets.These new links are driving a shift from conventional models of cultural tourism to new models of creative tourism based on intangible culture and contemporary creativity. This report examines the growing relationship between the tourism and creative sectors to guide the development of effective policies in this area. Drawing on recent case studies, it considers how to strengthen these linkages and take advantage of the opportunities to generate added value. Active policies are needed so that countries, regions and cities can realise the potential benefits from linking tourism and creativity. Key policy issues are identified.

Good morning. Thanksgiving is almost here and it's likely there will be somewhat less political news to report over the holiday.
But today begins with a fair number of things to pass along, starting with reports that indicate President-elect Barack Obama is going to go ahead with a plan that's been much speculated about in recent days and will keep Bush administration Defense Secretary Robert Gates at the Pentagon for at least a year or so:
• The New York Times -- Move would get bipartisan support: By keeping Gates, Obama would have "a Defense secretary with support on both sides of the aisle in Congress, as well as experience with foreign leaders around the world and respect among the senior military officer corps."
• The Washington Post -- A "rolling transition" at the Pentagon? "Some sources described a 'rolling transition,' in which Gates would stay on during a phased changeover of key political appointees at the Pentagon. Others said he could stay in the job indefinitely. Under both scenarios, most of the deputies serving under him would be replaced, the sources said."
Also in the news:
• ABC News -- Obama says auto CEOs were "a little tone deaf;" bank executives should give up their bonuses: President-elect Barack Obama, in an interview with ABC's Barbara Walters, said that the CEOs of auto companies -- who flew to Washington on private jets to make their case for bailouts from the government -- have been a "little tone deaf" to the problems of most Americans. And, he said that executives at troubled banks should give up their annual bonuses as their industry also struggles to cope with the economy's woes. Excerpts from the interview will air today on Good Morning America and World News, and a full report is due at 10 p.m. ET on ABC's Barbara Walters Interview.
• Politico -- Volcker to head an Economic Recovery Advisory Board: "President-elect Barack Obama on Wednesday will announce the creation of a president's Economic Recovery Advisory Board, chaired by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, to provide outside advice from heavyweight thinkers, officials said."
• The New York Times -- Biden doesn't have a portfolio; is playing role of counselor: "I'm sure that there will be discrete assignments over time," said David Axelrod, a senior adviser to the president-elect. "But I think his fundamental role is as a trusted counselor. I think that when Obama selected him, he selected him to be a counselor and an adviser on a broad range of issues."
• Glenn Greenwald at the liberal Salon.com -- Fact that John Brennan won't be the next CIA director is "exceptional" news: Greenwald and other liberal bloggers are cheering the news that John Brennan, former director of the National Counterterrorism Center, will not be CIA director in the Obama administration. They have opposed Brennan because of what they see as his insufficient opposition to harsh interrogation methods used during the Bush administration.
• USA TODAY -- Obama puts limits on inaugural contributions: "President-elect Barack Obama has named a team of high-profile executives and fundraisers to oversee his inauguration and imposed limits on who can contribute to it and how much they can give. ... While presidential candidates can collect no more than $2,300 in campaign contributions from individuals per primary and general election, federal law sets no limits on inaugural fundraising. Obama, who vowed during the campaign that special interests would not yield undue influence in his White House, is limiting inaugural contributions to $50,000 each and will not accept money from corporations, unions, political action committees, or federal lobbyists, inaugural spokesman Josh Earnest said."

Latest reports said P. Diddy will face a third degree assault charge, imposed based on the police investigation.
P. Diddy punched a man on the face on Saturday, October 13 and according to the latest report, he is now charged with assault. Police who have investigated the case reportedly dismissing Diddy with 'third degree assault', but will not put him in jail.
Police said the incident occurred at about 3:30 a.m. inside Kiosk nightclub. They hope to shed some more light on the case through the video cameras available at the nightclub. According to Associated Press, police are still accumulating witnesses before questioning Diddy.
Sources said that Diddy and the man, Steven Acevedo, only exchanged insults for one period of time but tension got high and Diddy gave him "one-two combo" on the face while screaming "I'll kill you!". One of his entourage then reached into his waistband as if to pull a gun before the fight wound down. The swollen Acevedo then told the police that they were arguing over an unnamed woman.
Earlier this week, the rapper's lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, hoped this case will go through without any charges. He has preferred to call the incident a "disagreement" instead of "criminal assault".

Has anyone tried Bibo yet on San Blas Golf Del Sur?
The food is amazing and very well priced, for instance the fantastic Goat curry is just 6.95 and drinks are reasonable at 1.95 for a large beer. Ive also tried the chilli Salmon, and will be going back to sample Jerk chicken soon.
Its only been open 3 weeks, so word may not have got round yet, but this is seriously good food and well worth a try.
glostergirl (29-10-2012)
that sounds nice but doesnt the goat taste i know this probably sounds crazy but goaty!!! its just i tasteed goats cheese and had a sip of some goats milk and i was ready to heave because it tasted like goat.... apart from that sounds good value....
lol, no goat meat does not have the earthy taste of goat cheese, its sort of sweet like a cross between lamb and pork, really good. Unlike many of the touristy restaurants on San Blas, this is real home cooked soul food. Its just a really small restaurant with seating outside only run by one guy, situated near The Great Wall chinese and opposite Harrys shop.
If your not brave enough to try goat curry, the guy there does a really good chilli that bites back! and the chilli salmon was just delicious but not too spicy. I would go there for lunch but i dont think he opens till 5pm, and is shut on Mondays, so Ihave to wait till tomorrow to try the jerk chicken.

By Paul Davidson, USA TODAY
With readers fleeing newspapers and TV viewers zapping past commercials, advertisers are turning to the one device consumers can't seem to escape: their cellphones.
Mobile phones and wireless devices have quietly become the newest, hottest frontier for big brands from Pepsi to Nike, especially those itching to reach the coveted 18- to 34-year-old set.
TV networks are prodding viewers to send text messages to vote for their favorite reality TV character. Wireless websites are lacing sports scores and news digests with banner ads for Lexus (TM), Burger King (BKC) and Sheraton (HOT). A few companies are even customizing 10-second video ads for short, TV-style episodes that are edging their way onto mobile phones.
While the industry is in its infancy, ad campaigns for the tiny screen have increased sharply this year after several years of spotty efforts, and they're likely to take off by early next year, says Tom Burgess, CEO of Third Screen Media, a mobile-ad network.
Driving the surge is the increased use of text messaging, the wireless Web and video in the past 18 months as wireless carriers rolled out bigger, more colorful screens and faster broadband networks. About 30% of the 217 million U.S. cellphone subscribers text message at least once a month, Yankee Group says. Such services are more ingrained in the younger set: At least 55% of 13- to 24-year-olds regularly send text messages. About 10% of cellphone users regularly browse the wireless Web, MMetrics says.
For advertisers, the young audience is just one selling point. Wireless gadgets are always-on, ever-present accessories. The fact that a phone is tethered to an individual means that ads can be targeted. And users can respond instantly to time-sensitive offers.
"The days of doing a TV spot and reaching everybody are dwindling," says Jon Raj, Visa's new-media ad chief. "The mobile phone is very personal, and it's always with you."
Yet it's the intimate, insistent nature of cellphones that has made wireless carriers cautious about embracing mobile marketing, out of fear of turning off subscribers. Pushing tiny buttons to navigate the wireless Web or send a message can be clunky. And because subscribers typically pay for their minutes of data usage, many people don't want to burn them on ads.
"We need to make sure whatever we do is not perceived as intrusive," says Verizon Wireless (VZ) digital media chief John Harrobin.
Today, wireless websites do sport banner ads. But users typically must type in the address to see them. Except for trials, carriers have barred ads on sites accessed from the cellphone's menu of news, sports and other headings, which is the route to the wireless Web most people take. The wireless Web is not the Internet, but rather a similar network, with different addresses and sites streamlined for the small screen.
Carriers, though, are warming to the notion that consumers will welcome useful ads, such as those aimed at subscribers-on-the-go searching for restaurants, gas stations or movies. Or, say, stock prices, sponsored by Fidelity. "It has to be contextually relevant and enhance the customer experience," says Sprint Nextel (S) Vice President Anita Newton.
Relevant ads, please
In fact, she notes, mobile ads could help subsidize data services, possibly shaving current monthly subscription fees of $5 to $20 and drawing more customers. About 42% of mobile customers are open to mobile advertising if it's relevant, if they asked for it or if they'll get coupons or free services, Yankee Group says.
Fielding Fowler of Saginaw, Mich., says he'd welcome coupons "for useful things" such as restaurants or gasoline. But he finds banner ads irritating when he's hunting for sports scores. "You're paying $8.99 (a month), and it's gone from ad-free to bombarding you," says Fowler, 35, a comedian.
Carriers will likely start accepting advertising within eight months, after they resolve battles with content providers over how to split revenue, says Jeff Janer, an executive at Third Screen Media.
U.S. mobile advertising revenue is projected to jump to $150 million this year from $45 million in 2005, Ovum says. That's still the equivalent of a rounding issue compared with this year's estimated $274 billion U.S. ad market. But mobile ad sales could total $2 billion, or nearly 1%, of U.S. ad sales by 2010 and up to 5% by 2015, Yankee Group predicts.
Among the ads gaining favor:
•Text messages. This kind of advertising lets marketers engage customers interactively, building loyalty. Consumers usually type in a five-digit "short code" to, say, enter a sweepstakes or download a ring tone or screensaver. In other cases, they get alerts about offerings they're interested in.
The strategy is a favorite of TV shows such as NBC's (GE)Deal or No Deal and CBS' (CBS)Big Brother to involve viewers. Customers typically pay a few cents to send such a message, but the networks often charge a premium, splitting the revenue with the carrier.
Last year, Big Brother viewers sent more than 500,000 text messages in two days to vote on which evicted houseguest should return. Viewers paid 49 cents a message, making the initiative marginally profitable, says CBS executive Cyriac Roeding. They also got free wallpaper, and about 30,000 opted to get text alerts on new shows. "It creates tremendous loyalty, and you're in touch with the audience even when they're not watching," Roeding says.
When A&E's Dog the Bounty Hunter invited viewers to dial a short code to receive text messages from the main character, 62% of participants said they would watch the show more.
Other brands are joining in. Dove soap prodded consumers to vote on whether women on a billboard were "wrinkled" or "wonderful."
Anheuser-Busch (BUD) prompted people to send cellphone photos of themselves for a contest promoting Bud Light. "You're trying to integrate into the lifestyle of this (young) generation," says A-B Vice President Tony Ponturo.
To tout the benefits of its Los Angeles credit card, American Express (AXP) last year let members and prospects sign up to receive invitations to limited-seating concerts and movie screenings.
Such missives can cost just 2 cents for the advertiser to send. But the Mobile Marketing Association urges advertisers to require consumers to opt in, then confirm that decision, before sending offers. "We need to be careful ... to protect consumers from spam," says MMA chief Laura Marriott.
•Wireless Web ads. Ads on the wireless Web rose sharply this year. Advertisers are spending $75,000 to $300,000 on typical wireless webcampaigns, vs. $25,000 to $50,000 in 2005, Janer says.
Typically, a mobile Web page has one ad at the top or bottom, so as not to clutter the tiny screens. "It's extremely impactful," says Maria Mandel, who heads digital innovation for ad agency Ogilvy & Mather.
Ads generally cost $35 to $50 per 1,000 views, vs. $10 for online ads, Janer says. And 3% to 5% of mobile Web users click on links to learn more or make a purchase, vs. a 0.2% click rate for Internet ads.
The uptick in advertising should keep afloat many mobile websites that have been saddled with huge costs and little revenue.
"We seriously considered shutting down the mobile Web business in 2003 and 2004," says Louis Gump, vice president of The Weather Channel.
Embassy Suites spent a few hundred thousand dollars on mobile banner ads early this year, encouraging customers to click to make a reservation. The campaign generated 55,000 clicks and $3.2 million in revenue, says John Lee, marketing chief for the hotel chain.
Mobile phones, he says, provide an ideal path to the hotel's target audience. Business travelers changing plans or considering a weekend getaway used to make mental notes until they could follow up. "Now, you can just click and do it."
Burger King ads on news and sports sites nudge users to restaurants with a crisp: "Hungry? Click to find a Burger King."
"It's an opportunity to reach consumers close to making a purchase decision," says Gillian Smith, the chain's senior director of media.
But not all advertisers are enthralled. 1-800-Flowers tested a special Mother's Day offer this year that fizzled. "I don't think people are comfortable searching the mobile Web just yet," says Tania Nemaric, company manager of brand communications. "You want to get in and get out. You're being charged for the time."
•Video ads. Anheuser-Busch, American Express and others have released their standard TV ads on cellphone video services. For the first time this year, short video ads were customized for cellphones. When Fox Entertainment (NWS) this summer released a spinoff of its Prison Break series to Sprint mobile phones, each two-minute episode was preceded by a 10-second ad for the youth-oriented Toyota Yaris.
On cellphones, consumers "are actively looking at something," says Kim McCullough, Toyota manager of marketing communications. "We're hoping that greater attentiveness will help our advertising."
•Ads for free stuff. Games on mobile phones typically cost about $5. This year, some games were offered free but included ads for products such as Zagat's dining guide or Progressive Insurance, says Michael Chang, CEO of Greystripe, a mobile ad network.
Traffix (TRFX), another marketing company, plans to offer free, ad-supported ring tones and movie clips.
The greatest potential lies in searches for local retailers, says Yankee Group analyst Linda Barrabee. Yahoo, Google and Go2 provide local mobile searches today, but they have limited or no advertising. In the future, a search will yield sponsored listings first.
Advertisers would pay about 40 cents if a customer clicks on a search listing and up to $7 if the customer calls the retailer, says Dan Olschwang of search provider JumpTap. Eventually, carriers could use technology to pinpoint a customer's location and offer a relevant coupon to a nearby shop, if the subscriber opts in.
Dunkin' Donuts (AED) tried a less-sophisticated version of that last year, sending a coupon for a 99-cent latte at several stores to interested Boston cellphone users. The campaign increased store traffic 21%.
Ad revenue a sticking point
Rollout of such ads has been delayed partly because two big search engines, Yahoo (YHOO) and Google (GOOG), are unwilling to share more ad revenue with carriers, which would link to them from their home pages. Some carriers are making deals with search upstarts, such as JumpTap, which are offering a more generous split and letting carriers affix their brands to the services.
"It's the battle for the customer," says Kevin Beebe, group vice president for No. 5 carrier Alltel, which is close to a deal with JumpTap.
Yahoo Senior Vice President Steve Boom says the search engine can generate more revenue because of its brand and expertise. "The (revenue split) misses the point," he says.
A similar standoff has stalled the full-scale rollout of banner ads on the wireless Web. Carriers want 40% to 50% of ad sales when users reach sites from their menus; content providers are offering less.
Wireless carriers believe they enjoy greater leverage than phone and cable giants have in online marketing. The ability to easily click to sites from wireless home pages is vital, says Sprint's John Styers, a marketing director. Also, he says, carriers have data about subscribers' surfing habits that could let them serve more relevant ads — but only with the consumer's OK.
"We really have to tread lightly," Sprint's Newton says. "The last thing we want is to have consumers be annoyed by advertising and cancel their subscription."

LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy
Review by ArkfellerKonan
"Fun-filled and hilarious addiction, something a Star Wars fan must play."
So, you're probably kicking onto your favourite chair, with your PSP in your hand, waiting for Lego Star Wars 2 to finish loading. What a long wait!
The scenario just described to you already exposes one of LSWII's problems: longer loading times than other games. While loading levels, the game provides an opening crawl for you to read, and the loading finishes just about when you finish reading. But the initial screen is a pain. Just the trademark 'a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...'
Let's get off the subject of loading times, and concentrate on the plentiful amount of pros. We've got quite a lot to cover here. The developer, Traveller's Tales, melded LEGO bricks and Star Wars Episodes IV to VI and threw in amusement, accuracy and addiction. Every single vehicle, character and landscape was taken from the movies, artfully converted into LEGO, and put into a game. LEGO minifigs serve as characters (and they all look like their movie counterparts, too), and what's more, you can customise them to a certain extent. For example, put a Stormtrooper helmet on the golden bikini body of Leia's, and round it all off with a pair of black pants. Use your imagination! You can do the same ridiculous thing to your companion (and they don't even complain, bless them!) and walk through Mos Eisley shooting Stormtroopers down.
Graphics: a breaking point in all games. The entire world is made of LEGO, which makes the environment even more immersive. Just picture a few puny little minifigs walking around in a fully human world. That'd be disturbing. So, LucasArts and TT Games had to get very creative: they had to build the whole SW universe in LEGO. Yes, even the more devestating things, like AT-ATs and the Death Star are fully LEGO. It doesn't subtract to their ominosity, so don't worry.
Gameplay! This game pretty much ticks all the boxes.The game follows the entire original trilogy, splitting the episodes into separate Chapters (you don't want to play through the WHOLE game in one step, do you?) and provides you with Free Play and Challenge after you've finished the level. The controls are pretty much perfect, and the configuration is just as good. However, it suffers when the placement is ambiguous. Blasters are simple, but lightsabers are rather clumsy and hard to use. The same attack combo occurs everytime your character attacks, making blasters pose a great threat. Weapons aside, puzzles and pitfalls get in your way, despite being rather easy to solve.
Sound is a little better than average. Lightsaber and blaster effects sound almost the same as the movies, but subtly changed to suit the size. The music is pretty much a modernised version of the original score by John Williams. But, seeing as I always keep my PSP on mute, there's not much to tell.
Bottom line: LEGO Star Wars 2 is a definite must for the LEGO enthusiast, Star Wars fan, or (like me) both! The dark side of this game is concealed behind the light side, which makes it a worthy game to play.

Physical therapist offers tips for painless biking
May 21, 2013
For South Lake Tahoe physical therapist Chris Kozlowski, it's not "just like riding a bike."
The phrase used to describe returning to an activity with ease diminishes the techniques necessary for the most effective pedaling, Kozlowski told about a two dozen attendees to a presentation on maximizing bicycle performance at Kahle Community Center Wednesday evening.
"There are so many different skills you have to have to ride a bike properly," Kozlowski said during the talk, part of Barton Health's 2013 Wellness Lecture Series.
Climbing, descending, pedaling, braking, cornering and steering are all among the skills bicyclists can develop to more efficiently bicycle, whether it be in the mountains or on the road, Kozlowski said.
The physical therapist, who has been fitting bikes for two years, said a properly adjusted bike can be the difference between a painless ride and numb extremities.
"Believe it or not, your butt shouldn't hurt," Kozlowski said.
Having the knee bent at approximately 35 degrees at the bottom of a pedal stroke will provide the most power, while a 90-degree angle between a person's arms and back is ideal, Kozlowski said.
"These are the basic angles that put the least stress on the body," Kozlowski said, leaving room for personal preference. "It also depends on what you're comfortable with."
Focusing on using a circular spinning motion with your feet rather than a mashing "piston" motion can also ease torque on a bicyclist's lower back, Kozlowski said. She used the example of scraping snow off your shoe to get the spinning motion.
Which gear people should use in certain situations is a common question among bicyclists, Kozlowski said. There is no "right" gear, but she recommended bicyclists cadence of 75-90 revolutions per minute for the least impact to their bodies.
In addition to proper technique, things like nutrition can often get overlooked when it comes time to pedal, said Rob Panzera, a cycling coach with Cycling Camp San Diego who will host this year's Near Death Experience Bike Camp at Kirkwood Mountain Resort June 6-9 in preparation for this year's Death Ride.
"The big thing I really see is people invest a lot of equipment," Panzera said, noting they often overlook the fuel they're putting into their body.
With the popularity of cycling on the rise, Panzera said there are plenty of resources, and plenty of noise, about technique. Still, a little bit of knowledge can go a long way, Panzera said.
"If they learn a little bit it will make their ride so much more enjoyable," Panzera said. For those bringing their bicycles out of hibernation, he recommended regular rides, even if they're short.
"It makes a big difference," Panzera said.
