EXCLUSIVE: ICM has hired Nick Harris to co-head its books-to-film department in the agency's Los Angeles office. Harris and Josie Freedman will co-head the department, which also includes veteran agent Ron Bernstein. Harris is expected to join the agency on November 1st. A 10-year veteran of the film and television rights biz, Harris began at AP Watt Literary Agency based in London, then moved to Los Angeles in 2006 to join Rabineau Wachter Sanford Harris (RWSH) as a partner before moving to Mosaic, where he repped authors, graphic novelists, and comic book creators. Harris negotiated film rights for Fox Searchlight's The Last King of Scotland, as well as The Men Who Stare at Goats, and the upcoming We Bought a Zoo. Freedman, an attorney, joined The Gersh Agency and in 2001 moved to ICM negotiating film and television deals based on books, life rights, articles and short stories. Her sales include: He's Just Not That Into You, The Illusionist, Thank You for Smoking, King Dork, and Boomsday.
ICM Expanding Its Books-To-Film Division

Nick and Josie are class acts – this is a great thing for ICM
I wrote Meant For Greatness, From the Indigo Realm (Indigo is a label for humanitarians) Great book. All the elements. Nothing like it.
Nick Harris – say it loud, and it sounds like it's raining… say it soft and it sounds like you're praying… NICK HARRIS!
Congratulations to a great executive and a tremendous friend…
Nick is the man! ICM should feel lucky to have a man of such caliber.
ICM needs so much help in so many other areas. While the book department definitely got stronger with this hire, there is such a massive hole that needs filling in ICM's movie division on both the talent and literary sides. Thats where they are in such desperate need of real agents! ICM has ZERO movie stars, a small handful of relevant filmmakers, and a waning list of film writers. Hiring a book agent at ICM is like trying to put out a massive fire with a cup of water. This once major film division has become a joke and a pretender, no longer a contender. Its actually sad to see how far that place has fallen in recent years.
Ever heard of the idea of playing to your strengths?!?!?! Bringing ICM's MP dept. (a loss leader at almost any agency) in line with its rivals would be such a huge expense and one unlikely to pay dividends for years, if ever. ICM does, however, have a world-class books department in NY (as much as the brass in LA tries to forget those agents even exist) and it's time they leverage that.
By hiring one new agent, they are able to take the work of their book agents to the next level without placing any additional burdens on them. Remember, He's Just Not That Into You would never have existed for Freedman to negotiate had Andy Barzvi not discovered the original manuscript and gotten it published.
Thank you, random faceless mid-level William Morris-Endeavor agent.
Class act, caliber, great exec! I know this is Hollywood and all but this will be his fourth stop in 4 years. One of them he was a partner in, so much for loyalty. Why the musical chairs for such a great exec? Is he just never happy or just that hard to please?
Josie is the best and classiest book agent in town. ICM is lucky to have her, and the promotion is well deserved. Plus, she's hot
Josie is wonderful, and Nick is a great guy. I like these odds.
Nick Harris is a tremendous literary agent with a tremendous accent, only ever impressed. Congrats ICM.
That is great for Josie. Good for her. A real class act and well a beautiful woman to boot.
As for Nick Harris, that is a lot of jobs in not a lot of time. I bet he lasts a year there or until Jeff Berg realizes he's been had. The guy's a fake.
congrats to nick and josie. terrific news that she'll finally be able to emerge from behind ron bernstein. she and nick will work wonders for that place. bernstein is very good at a specific kind of project, sadly the kind that doesn't really get made anymore. he's needed to be pushed aside for a long time now.
ICM is a dying agency. In order to survive, this move was a must. It's clear that anyone who works in this business knows ICM has lost momentum. I give Harris a year before he's miserable or quits. The entire motion picture talent and literary department is on its way OUT.
Josie is a great agent – classy, intelligent, well read, cultured. Great call ICM, now focus on your talent department and grab some agents from CAA or WME, ala Endeavor hiring Patrick Whitesell or Adam Venit. Here is your wish list: Kim Hodgert, Jim Toth, Joel Lubin, Mick Sullivan, Jack Whigham, Josh Lieberman, Rick Kurtzman, Peter Levine, Elyse Scherz, Stephanie Ritz, Adam Isaacs, Kami Putnam-Heist.
Worked with Josie and Ron back at Gersh. Both are classy, intelligent and work really hard. It's nice to see such a good person like Josie get the promotion she deserves. Maybe there is hope for this business yet.
Josie has been at the top of her game for a long time so this is not a surprise, just a long time coming. People in Hollywood pay attention: Good things do happen to good people so maybe be nice once in a while like Josie and you too may get a promotion. And since I have a wife I need to whisper this but she is also really nice on the eyes so it's a double bonus when your doing a deal with her.

My motor setup tutorial
Installing a motorised satellite system
Most people that install a motorised satellite system do so because they are not happy with all of the repeats that Sky show, because of curiosity, channels in their native tongue or maybe for the various sport or other channels
Installing a motorised satellite system is a challenge but well worth the time spent. For this tutorial I will assume that you are going to wall mount your dish but if not you will be glad to know that most of the information here will still apply to you.
Following the instructions found here you should be able to have a fully working system within 3-4 hours.
You will need:
A satellite receiver
A satellite dish
An LNB
T & K brackets
A pole
A motor
Satellite cable
F plugs etc to make the connections
A satellite Meter
A compass
Advice on what to buy
Determine what you want to watch i.e. movies, music, documentaries or whatever you can get as this will determine what satellite receiver you buy. Some receivers can be patched with software to allow you to view pay TV but others may require you to buy a conditional access module which you would have to program in order to view encrypted channels. There are receivers out there that use software to emulate these cam's but these types of boxes are usually for enthusiasts only and are quite expensive i.e. Dreambox.
Your best bet is to buy something that can be upgraded in the future but also very simple for you to use and for this purpose I would recommend a Technomate satellite receiver. The Technomate 1500 CI+ would be my choice as it represents good value and is so simple a young child could operate it.
Buying a complete kit is a good way of saving money and you know that everything you have purchased was designed to work together.
Satellite dishes can be thought of as very ugly devices but there are ways of disguising your dish. Metal dishes can be sprayed with car paint to help them blend into the surroundings or you may want to by a transparent satellite dish made of polycarbonates which for installations near the seaside are brilliant as they do not rust. New products are always being developed to help people disguise their satellite installations. As with allot of things size really does matter but due to the local council's dislike of satellite dishes you may not get planning permission for anything to large and your neighbours may complain if the dish obstructs a view from their property so I would recommend not going for a dish any bigger than 90cm though you can always risk a bigger dish and hope that nobody notices. Bigger dishes are essential for picking up weaker signals.
You want to buy a universal LNB and preferably 0.3db. The lower the number the better the picture quality will be. Universal means that the LNB is not fixed to only receiving channels on a certain band.
The motor should support Diseqc 1.2, Goto X and USALS as should your satellite receiver. USALS stand for Universal Satellite Automatic Locator System and use your longitude and latitude in order to track the satellites positioned above the Clarke belt. Having USALS will make things simple so it's a good thing to have. The Moteck Digipower 2100A would be my choice as it supports all of the above and can turn from 75E to 75W. This motor can be driven using buttons on the base of the unit which helps to set the dish up quickly. It also moves quite quickly so you don't have to wait so long when moving from one satellite to another.
Starting the install
A dry warm weekend is best for this preferably when your partner is out shopping or something. Start by looking for a neighbours Sky satellite dish and look where the dish arm is pointing. As we are in the North and the satellites circle the equator we know that our dish has to have a clear view of the south. Alternatively use a compass for a more precise reading. Look at your home and decide where the best place to mount the dish will be. Mine is on the side of my house just above the roof so it has an unobstructed view of the Sky both East to West.
Once you have decided where the dish will go you need to fix the brackets to the wall. Opinions differ as to how these should be fitted to the wall but I prefer to have the K at the top as I believe it adds greater stability to the dish especially in high winds. The brackets should be approximately 1m apart. You will need strong bolts in order to get a good fixing.
Once complete you will need to attach the pole using U clamps and make sure that the pole is 100% vertical. This is the most important thing you will do so make sure it's spot on and check with either a spirit level or inclinometer.
A hammer may be needed to tap the brackets and pole in order to get things completely level.
Once complete go and have a cup of tea and read the instruction leaflet that came with your dish. Dish assembly is quite straight forward.
Unpack the motor and flick through the instructions. There should be a chart which tells you what to set the inclination and declination to on your motor and satellite dish based on your latitude. If you don't know what your latitude and longitude are you can visit www.multimap.com and type in your post code. Your latitude and longitude will be displayed under the picture of the map.
Now would be a good time to wire up the LNB to the motor. Pre made cables for this purpose are available.
Set the motor and dish to the settings given in the motor manual and triple check everything as it's far easier to work on the dish when it's on ground level. Now bolt the dish to the motor insuring that the motor is set to 0 degrees and that the dish goes on completely central. Again this is an important step so make sure it's accurate.
Take the dish up the ladder and bolt it onto the pole making sure the dish will not be obstructed by anything. Using a compass find magnetic south and adjust to find true south. A map that shows the magnetic variation for your location is helpful but not essential as you can turn the dish manually and raise and lower the dish as long as the brackets are loosened.
As a general rule you want to find the closest satellite to your longitude, which will always be the highest satellite in the Sky and gives you a better chance of tracking the arc, in my case I chose Thor 1W (If you were in Dublin say, you would be better with Atlantic Bird at 5W).
Plug in your satellite receiver and run a cable outside so that you can plug in your satellite meter. Satellite meters take power from the receiver so the receiver will need to be on and not just in standby. A good meter for this purpose is the Digisat Pro satellite meter. Connect your cable from the receiver and another cable to the motor and gently move the dish side to side and up and down until you get the best possible signal. Once complete you can tighten up the brackets and run a new satellite cable from the motor to the satellite receiver.
Satellite cables come in 3 main colours which are white, brown and black. You should use the colour of cable that is most pleasing to the eye. I find black cable is best suited to brick houses.
You should now weatherproof your hard work with silicone and tape and make sure that the cables are long enough that should the dish move a long way in one direction that the cables will not be stretched or damaged.
You can now set your receiver to USALS and start scanning and storing satellites.
It is advisable to check which satellites you can receive for your size / type of dish on the satellite forums. You may need to tweak your setup a little to get a good signal on all satellites.
That's all there is to it.

Kirky1423 just read your tutorial it very good but if you can get your dish close to the ground it can help with high wind problems
Here is something i don't understand, the 0 point on my motor should focus the dish to the highest satellite or to the middle point (around 0° like Astra 2E) ?
This is my position: http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/2896/5gx4.png
My receiver comes today so i didn't set the dish yet or read the manual.
zero point on the motor always points at true south which is also the highest satellite for your location
so for example, if your longitude was 13e your zero point would point at hotbird at 13e
this is why its best to setup a receiver with a channel list and add your latitude and longitude in usals, now let usals send the motor to a known reference satellite, like say 13e hotbird
now you setup on hotbird and usals states that once one satellite has been found, the rest all fall in line, you may need to tweak your alignment slightly but usals is designed to make the process easier
the problem happens when people think that the zero pointer should point to the zero longitude of the greenwich meridian (the greenwich observatory in greenwich, london)
that statement is correct if you lived in greenwich, or say leeds , here in the uk
its totally incorrect for rumania or cork or dublin or istanbul
for diseqc 1.2 working you have to calculate this disparity , but usals does it all for you, hence the long names that acronym stands for (google it)
so for 26e you would have your zero pointer pointing to the arabian sats at 26e , and not 0.8w like we may do here in england
To find the true south I always use dishpointerdotcom put in your postcode and it will show an aerial photo view of your site. choose whatever satellite is highest for your site and the software will draw a line on this photo. Later you can fine tune the mount using a satellite meter as per varies postings.
Hi guys,
I am just realigning my system after purchasing a new motor and larger triax dish.
I have read the above, but would like a little more assistance.
True south should be the highest point of the arc. but if I am using USALS to locate the sats.
Should I enter my position (longitude and latitude) into my receiver and then select Thor 0.8W before trying to locate the signal?
This would mean that the motor is no longer pointing on zero, but using usals it would make sense to me to move the motor to 0.8W before trying to locate the signal?
Also, does anybody know the best FTA frequency to locate on Thor as I have not been on there for a while (I live in Oxfordshire, so Thor is my highest point of the arc)?
Lastly, I have not been able to accurately set my dish up at right angles to the motor arm (when set at zero) before mounting due to the weight and awkwardness.
Does anybody have any good tips on how to achieve this with any accuracy other that eye lining it through?
What often sounds simple can throw up quite a few anomalies?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as always.
Yes, the point of using Usals is to get zero pointing at due south, which is your longitude reading. When entering your co-ordinates remember negative longitude readings = West, positive = East.
The Triax brackets are known to be a little awkward but owners like the dishes performance, once set up.
Try BBC World News 10778 H 24500 or Sky News International 12418 V 28000
New on this site.
Its been about ten years since I was last involved in Satellite but I will be setting up my 1.2mt dish again shortly
My longitude is 10.2 West which would make 11W EXPRESS-AM 44 the highest sat in my arc.
Does anyone know if there is anything on this sat in Ku band ?
Check lyngsat.com, or other satellite sites.
There are a few, using the S1 beam, but I can't see a map, for dish size required.
Found link to official beam map:

Hi Guys,
First of all thank you for this post, very interesting.
I am new in the Satellite field. Please could you recommend me a good kit for a motorized satellite dish.
Thank you
Can you first please check where you will need to site your dish, to get a reasonable satellite arc, 52E to 30W.
You can use dishpointer.com, to check where it's best to site it.
If you're lucky, and have an open, south facing, garden, then installation, and maintenance, is a lot easier.
If it has to go above roof level then you need some quality brackets, and a very sturdy pole.
A lot depends on your general location, budget, andf requirements, which satellites you want to view, which might require a larger dish.
Please post back, with the relevant information, and amybe a moderator can move your post to its own thread.
Hi guys, what bolts should be used for the T&K brackets?
Going to be installed in new home...cant remember what I used at previous location.
Always used Rawlbolts myself, and never had a problem.
regards mobley2
Everyone has their favourite method, pluses and minuses with each.
I used to use Rawlbolts and cracked a few bricks, so now I prefer plastic wall plugs. 10 mm plastic plugs and 10 mm coach screws with a bolt head.
Aldo (21-07-2016)
I like Multi-Monti's. Similar to Burnham but no plugs involved as they screw in cutting their own thread in a pre-drilled hole. Great near edges/corners.

Why does NASA's Curiosity want Mars dirt anyway?
Mars explorer Curiosity is about to grab itself a scoopful of soil, the first time the sample gathering system has been used while the robotic rover has been on the red planet, but just what is the NASA 'bot hoping to find? According to NASA, the mission - which will see Curiosity flex its incredibly slow claw - is both a test of the rover's hardware and of the Martian surface itself, an important double-hit to help show whether Curiosity is made out for exploration, and whether Mars was once hospitable to life.

So, if you missed our review of Stomping Grounds Concentrate; click here. Stomping Grounds Espresso Concentrates come in 4 varieties and are sold a retailers across the country - Amazon, Cost Plus Markets, and some select Whole Foods stores as well as their own Stomping Grounds website. Well, as we posted our review, the Marketing Chief offered our readers a free sample if they would post a review. A review came in from a reader Greg who said: I just recieved (9/23) the Espresso flavor. Mixed it up according to the directions (I used skim milk) popped it in the the microwave... it was great. Very, very nice flavor, smoky, smooth not harsh or bitter. My wife and I loved it and I guess we have a new addiction. :-)

I received a sample of the vanilla flavor. I thought it was very good. I especially liked it cold over ice or as a coffee smoothie. It was very flavorful, not to sweet and smooth. I hope distrubition improves in the Atlanta area. Looks like Cost Plus is my only option that is not to far.
I received my Stomping Grounds Espresso Concentrate sample from the offer posted on singleserveespresso.com and got right to work mixing up a cold latte, 1/3 concentrate to 2/3 milk.
As a point of reference, my daily staple most of the year is 4 shots of espresso in a 12oz. glass topped with cold 1% milk. If I don't have time to make it, I'll do the drive-thru at FourBucks for a Venti Iced Non-Fat Latte. In the winter time, it's the hot (steamed milk) versions. If all else fails, it's black coffee, the bolder the better.
I found that the Stomping Grounds Latte was quite good. So good in fact, that I've secured a good stash of the Espresso Concentrate from my local World Market for those days when I'm too rushed to make the real thing. I've also picked up the Vanilla and Caramel flavors and enjoy them too.
No more trips to FourBucks. I'm saving $3.00 per serving by using the Stomping Grounds Espresso Concentrate instead of the Venti Iced Non-Fat Latte from the drive-thru.
Being a "bold" person, I did find the flavor a little weak to my norms. I've grown accustomed to the somewhat burnt flavor of Starbucks and the dark roasts I use. Therefore, I've upped the mix to more of a 50/50.
The only other downside for me is that I prefer no sweetness (and sugar). There is a little bit of sweetness in the Espresso Concentrate and a bit more in the Vanilla and Caramel. I'm hopeful that a sugar-free version (sweetness free would be even better) is made available some day. I like my espresso bold without any sweetness.
Overall, I think most people would find the Stomping Grounds Espresso Concentrate and the flavored varieties quite enjoyable. I like them, along with the time and money I save in the morning to get my caffeine buzz.

With Micreos endolysin technology, for the first time we can kill only the unwanted bacteria - including antibiotic resistant strains - while leaving the beneficial bacteria intact. In addition, research shows that the use of endolysins does not induce resistance. This unlocks a completely new approach in dealing with the bacteria around us - also enabling daily use as long as needed while preserving the important biodiversity on our skin and in our gut.
Micreos' Staphefekt SA.100 is an enzyme (endolysin), which kills only Staphylococcus aureus, including MRSA. It is suitable for routine maintenance therapy, for inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema, rosacea, psoriasis and inflammatory acne and has already had a life changing impact for many. It is marketed under the Gladskin brand. For further related background information on these topics fact sheets are available.
Micreos has also developed FDA-approved food safety products against Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes, which is especially dangerous for pregnant women and for the elderly and immuno-compromised. More information on these food safety products is available at the Phageguard website

Appeared In: Fast & Furious (2009)
David Park's (Ron Yuan) whip was this one-of-a-kind (well, in the U.S.) S15. Apparently, director Justin Lin loved the Silvias in Tokyo Drift so much, he wanted one for the followup as well. Since the S15 was never released in the U.S., the production team used a few S14 240SXs with clever body kits to act as doubles. Of them, the true S15 is the only one that survived the shoot.

I have a problem right now, where several different programs are "breaking"
down at nearly the same time. It starts with a few programs losing sound
(TeamSpeak RC2 and War Rock are the two I notice). Then, one of my gadgets
completely disfunctions (appLauncher) and is no longer able to be configured.
At the same time as the gadget breaking, my network connections module (the
whole system) stops working, though I still have internet. When I hover over
the icon for wireless, it gives me a server error.
I tried to use the MS Help (chat with an associate) thing, but it said my
ProductID wasn't valid, but this laptop was shipped with Vista directly from
a manufacturer.

The main two ways that having sex for the first time (or anytime) could affect a female's body is if the female becomes pregnant as a result of having sex, or if the female transmits a sexually transmitted disease (STD) as a result of having sex. It is important to remember that abstaining from sexual contact is the only way to protect yourself 100% from these two things. If you choose to become sexually active, then speak to your doctor prior to any kind of sexual activity to make sure you are well-educated about how to best protect yourself from unwanted pregnancies and the transmission of STDs, as well as to ensure that you are practicing the best methods of safer sex for you to protect yourself from these two things. (Generally condoms and a back-up method of birth control, such as the pill, are recommended for teens and young adults who choose to be sexually active – but your doctor can advise the best methods for you).
Having sex will generally only affect your menstrual cycle and hormones if you have become pregnant as a result of having sex. Girls who have missed their periods after their first time having sex (or any time having sex) may very well be pregnant. Once pregnant, they will not have periods during their pregnancy and there will be hormonal changes that may affect them in various ways.
A girl might also miss her period following sex not because she is pregnant, but simply because she has an irregular menstrual cycle. Irregular cycles are common in girls just beginning to menstruate – it is not a direct cause of having sex for the first time. Girls will generally start to menstruate anywhere from 10-15 years old. Many girls find that for the first year or two of menstruation their cycles are irregular, they miss a period, or the flow of their period is different from month to month. Again, this is not a result of having sex, but just the body basically adjusting to all the changes going on with puberty in full swing.
TeenHealthFX wants to leave you with the following thoughts and recommendations:
· It is possible for a female to become pregnant and/or to transmit an STD if they are sexually active, whether it is the 1st time or the 100th time they are having sex (or any time in between). That said, if you are thinking about becoming sexually active, please speak to your doctor before engaging in any kind of sexual activity to ensure you are using the best safer sex methods for you to protect against unwanted pregnancies and the transmission of STDs.
· Sex can affect your body, but it can also affect your emotional health and your relationship with your partner. Before having sex, think about whether you are truly ready for that step as an individual and speak with your partner to find out if you are truly ready as a couple.
· Meet with your doctor if you notice any of the following about your period: it lasts longer than a week, you have to change your pad or tampon frequently (soaking through more than 1 every 1-2 hours), it has been more than 3 months between your periods, you have bleeding in between your periods, you have significant pain before or during your period, your periods were regular and then became irregular, you had sex and then missed your next period.
· If you have been sexually active and experience a missed period, or have any other physical symptoms that are unusual or concern you, speak with your doctor to find out if you may be pregnant or if STD testing would be a good idea.
If you don't have a doctor and live in northern New Jersey, you can call the Adolescent/Young Adult Center for Health at 973-971-6475 for an appointment with an adolescent medicine specialist or contact your local teen health center or Planned Parenthood. You can also contact your insurance company for a list of in-network providers.
If you need to find a free pregnancy testing center, you can call 866-942-6466. If this is an unplanned pregnancy, you can call 1-800-672-2296. And if you are pregnant, but have no medical insurance, you can call 1-800-450-0183.

Teens often abuse prescription drugs because of the myth that these drugs provide a medically safe high.
It is estimated that major depressive disorder (MDD) affects about 5% of adolescents, and that between 10 - 15% of adolescents have some symptoms of depression at any one time.
Statistics show that giving a teen a credit card does not teach them to be financially responsible or to encourage self-restraint, but actually promotes a "spend now and deal with the consequences later" mindset.
Girls are more likely to intentionally abuse prescription drugs than boys.
The reality of excessive interest rates and fees that often accompany credit card use for teens, can put youngsters in a position where they are losing out on admission to graduate school, getting a job, or renting an apartment because of damaged credit history.
Less than 33% of teens with depression get help, yet 80% of teens with depression can be successfully treated if they seek help from a doctor or therapist.
Traffic crashes are the greatest single cause of death for all persons age 6-33, and about 45% of these fatalities are alcohol-related crashes.
About 6.2 million Americans get a new genital HPV infection each year.
30% of teens with depression also have a substance abuse problem.
Freshmen bring an average of $1,585.00 in credit card debt to college.
About a third of women who seek services related to unprotected sex, such as pregnancy testing or emergency contraception, do not receive STD counseling, testing, or treatment.
7-10% of college students will drop out of school because of credit problems.
Teens with untreated depression are more likely to engage in risky sexual behaviors, leading to higher rates of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.
Most smokers begin smoking as teens, and the average age of initiation is 12.5 years of age.
People with manic symptoms and Bipolar Disorder II are at a significant risk of later developing an alcohol abuse or dependence problem.
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for U.S. teens, accounting for 36% of all deaths in this age group.
The teen pregnancy rate in the United States is the highest of any industrialized democracy, nearly twice that of Great Britain and 10 times that of Japan. 4
Compared with other age groups, teens have the lowest rate of seat belt use, and male high school students are more likely than female students to rarely or never wear seat belts.
A national study of women ages 15-44 found that women were almost twice as likely to receive contraceptive services rather than STD services.
The teenage pregnancy rate in the U.S. is at its lowest level in thirty years, down 36% since its peak in 1990. Research suggests that both increased abstinence and positive changes in contraceptive practice are responsible these recent declines in teen pregnancy.
A sexually active teenager who does not use contraceptives has a 90% chance of becoming pregnant within one year. 8
In the United States, at least 5-10 million girls and women and 1 million boys and men are struggling with eating disorders. 11
Among male drivers between 15 and 20 years of age who were involved in fatal crashes in 2005, 38% were speeding at the time of the crash and 24% had been drinking.
Homicide is the second leading cause of death among 15- to 24-year-olds overall. 16
Every two minutes, somewhere in America, someone is sexually assaulted. 22
One in four teenage girls in the U.S. had at least one common sexually transmitted disease.
Suicide is the third leading cause of death among youths ages 15 to 20. 19
The highest Chlamydia rates occurred among women ages 15 to 19 and 20 to 24.
About 44% of rape victims are under age 18. Three out of every twenty victims (15%) are under age 12. 25
Each year, half of all HIV infections are among people under the age of 25.
Crash risk is particularly high during the first year that teenagers are eligible to drive.
One out of every six American women have been the victims of an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime. A total of 17.7 million women have been victims of these crimes. 23
Teen girls ages 15-19 have the highest Gonorrhea rate of any age group.
The motor vehicle death rate for male drivers and passengers ages 16-19 is more than one and half times that of their female counterparts.
More than four in 10 young women become pregnant at least once before they reach the age of 20 - nearly one million teen pregnancies a year 3
The presence of teen passengers increases the crash risk of unsupervised teen drivers; the risk increases with the number of teen passengers.
Smoking is the leading preventable cause of death in this country. More than 400,000 Americans die from tobacco-related causes each year, and most of them began using tobacco before the age of 18.
The risk of motor vehicle crashes is higher among 16- to 19-year-olds than among any other age group.
Underage drinking costs the U.S. more than $58 billion every year; enough to buy every public school student a state-of-the-art computer.
At all levels of blood alcohol concentration (BAC), the risk of involvement in a motor vehicle crash is greater for teens than for older drivers.
Teens who drink are more likely to be victims of violent crimes and sexual assault, have serious problems in school, be involved in drinking-related traffic crashes, and develop problems with alcohol later in life.
Nearly all the poison deaths in the U.S. are attributed to drugs, and most drug poisonings result from the abuse of prescription and illegal drugs.
Alcohol kills 6.5 times more youth than all other illicit drugs combined.
Persons aged 15-24, who represent only 14% of the U.S. population, account for 30% ($19 billion) of the total costs of motor vehicle injuries among males and 28% ($7 billion) among females.
Among young people ages 12-17, prescription drugs have become the second most abused illegal drug, behind marijuana.

Megan writes, "The ABC Fast Start was not my own idea. I got the
idea from a website somewhere, although I am not sure of exactly
where. Essentially, the first three or four weeks of school I
sent home letter cards with the students and I provided each
parent with a list of activities they should with their child.
There were five steps. They did each of these activities
M-W. Then on Thursday they did a ABC game from another list. I
have attached both the letter describing the fast start five
activities and the ABC games. You could send home any number of
letters that you desire. I sent 8-9 letters each week the first
three weeks of school. Now this wasn't comprehensive and it wasn't
my full curriculum for the letters, but it gave each child an
intro and/or review of the letters. I also told the parents that,
if they thought just reviewing the letter names was too easy for
their child then they could use it to review letter sounds."

The New York Giants owe much of their recent success to a combination of depth and dynamic ability along the defensive front seven. However, right now, they lack that.
The added presence of Jacquian Williams in 2013 will help and Jason Pierre-Paul has become a household name, but the rest of the front seven is either aging or inexperienced. Players like Mark Herzlich and Spencer Paysinger will see opportunities, but they have much to prove.
The lack of pass rush as well as the lack of range from he front seven was distressing for the Giants.
General Manager Jerry Reese will be in the market for players who can get to the quarterback as well as provide some extra range along the front seven. Accordingly, there is reason to believe that the Draft provides that market. There are a number of players in the top- 20 range who can both get to the quarterback and play in a standup role.
Jarvis Jones, LB, Georgia
Jarvis Jones is an intriguing prospect whose stock is as hard to peg as anyone's right now. In 2010 he was diagnosed with spinal stenosis and missed the entire season. He transferred from USC to Georgia as a result of USCs reluctance to allow him to play with his newfound neck injury.
The head and neck area are hot topics in NFL circles these days, and it is impossible to predict just how many teams would be willing to spend a first round pick on a player with issues in that area.
If he slides, expect the Giants to be attracted to his production. With 28 sacks in the last two seasons and scores of tackles for a loss to go along with them, Jones could be the perfect fit in New York. He has the athleticism to play the SAM linebacker role while also possessing the ability to rush the passer off the edge, something the Giants love (and need).
Should 18 other teams pass on Jones, expect the Giants to be interested.
Barkevious Mingo, LB, LSU
Barkevious Mingo has athletic skills that are as good as any player in the draft. His 6'5" 240 pound frame blew up the combine drills, as he looked very fluid in space.
At the NFL Combine interviews, Mingo said it was his speed that separated him from other prospective defensive ends. He is a bit of a misfit as a pure defensive end in a 4-3 due to his smaller frame but may have a role as a linebacker.
The ability to go sideline-to-sideline as well as set the edge against offensive linemen (and occasionally cover) is critical against teams such as the Washington Redskins who love to run the pistol formation.

text: Well made it to the championship game but am going back and forth on who to start as my flex player. My options are Felix, Morris, Robinson or DeSean Jackson (probably not). PPR League I think what it comes down to is should I play it safe and start Robinson or stick with Felix and hope for the best? I really think Dallas can run the ball on Philly, but given Felix's track record I am scared to death and there doesnt really seem to be much concrete news on his status. Right now my line up looks likes this but not sure what to do with my flex player QB: Romo RB: Rice, Helu WR: Megatron, Miles, Julio Jones TE: Hernandez Flex: Felix K: Crosby Dline: Suggs, Babin LB: Navarro Bowman, Derrick Johnson DB: Ronde Barber, Charles Tillman

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/1/2011 (2367 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Winnipeg Goldeyes made franchise history on Tuesday with the announcement that Fish first-base coach Rudy Arias will be joining the Baltimore Orioles coaching staff for the 2011 season.
The move marks the first time in team history that a member of the Goldeyes has gone directly from Winnipeg to the major leagues.
Arias, 53, spent the past three seasons with the Fish and will be going to Baltimore to throw batting practice, catch bullpen sessions, take on some administrative roles and serve as the club's only Spanish-speaking coach.
Arias said the deal came together with lightning speed in the past week.
"It really came together very quickly," Arias said by phone from his Florida home. "I had no idea this was coming until I got a call last week."
Arias previously spent 11 years in the Orioles organization as a coach and also worked with Buck Showalter when the O's manager was the skipper in New York in the mid-1990s.
And then there was the ability Arias will have to speak to some of the O's players that no other coach on the O's staff will have this season.
"This really has much as anything to do with the fact I speak Spanish," Arias said. "They really need someone like that right now."
While leaping at the opportunity to go back to Major League Baseball -- "Not too many guys get a second chance like this," he says -- Arias says he will forever have a soft spot for his time in Winnipeg.
"When I got released in 2007 and had nowhere else to go, (Goldeyes manager Rick Forney) gave me an opportunity. I will always owe him and the Goldeyes a debt for helping me at that time.
"Like everyone who goes to Winnipeg, I can't say enough about how they treated me and the other coaches and the players and the manager. And the fans? I really couldn't say enough about the fans up there."
Arias previously worked on the Orioles coaching staff from 1997-2007. He also won a World Series as the bullpen coach for the New York Yankees in 1996.
Goldeyes general manager Andrew Collier said Tuesday morning the team only learned of Arias's departure "in the past few days" and a search for a replacement is now underway.
"It's going to be hard to fill that role and find a replacement for a coach who had all that major league experience and was a World Series champion," Collier said.
Arias was a former catcher and Collier said the work he did with the Goldeyes catchers -- first with Dustin Richardson and then later with Luis Alen -- was a big part of why both men moulded into the premier players at their position in the Northern League.
Arias -- a native of Cuba -- was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in 1977 and spent three years in that organization.
He eventually turned to coaching high school baseball in Miami and that's what he was doing when the expansion Florida Marlins hired him in 1993.
Making it to the big leagues
Rudy Arias is the seventh member of the Winnipeg Goldeyes to move on to Major League Baseball. But Arias does hold a couple of firsts:
-- He's the first Goldeyes coach to move to the big leagues;
-- He's the first Goldeyes member to go directly from Winnipeg to the majors;
-- He's the first member of the Goldeyes since 2003 to make the move.
Here's a list of the other Goldeyes who've made the big move over the years, the year they did it and the major-league team they eventually played with:
Mike Cather, 1995 (Atlanta)
Jeff Zimmerman, 1997 (Texas)
Jeff Sparks, 1998 (Tampa Bay)
Brian Myrow, 2001 (Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego)
Bobby Madritsch, 2002 (Seattle)
George Sherrill, 2003 (Seattle)


text: Hi, I added a new package to CVS today and experienced problem with cvs-import.sh script. After "cvs-import.sh mysrps" sources file was added to a devel directory, but there wasn't a .spec file. I tried to add it manually, but I've got info that it was already added by "third party". In fact file was there, but I had to fetch it from a repository manually (by "cvs update"). Should cvs-import.sh fetch this file (and probably patches too - I didn't have any patch, so don't know if it does it) from a repository? If not I think that "Step 10" in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/NewPackageProcess should be extended. Btw, tag which was created in the import process was named "pyxattr-0_2_1-3". Shouldn't it be "pyxattr-0_2_1-3_fc7" (which is created after "make tag" in a devel directory)? Regards Marcin

Rapper Mike Jones is set to make his acting debut in "American Dream."
Following the trail of his fellow hip-hop music artists who shift into film feature, Houston-based rapper Mike Jones is working his way to make acting debut in a big screen project entitled "American Dream."
Set to bring out "Dream" to the surface in conjunction with Asylum Records and Warner Bros. Records, Jones has brought aboard producers Gregory Anderson and Keith Paschall along with director Derrick Dixon to help him developing the movie. The film itself will be the first from his newly established film production company of the same name.
Expected to wrap up the production by September 15 with taking locations in Houston, Texas, the flick chronicles Jones' true story from rags to riches, depicting his humble beginnings on the streets up to vast success in the rap music scene.
Also an owner of a Houston's nightclub called Club Iceage and a recording company, Ice Age Entertainment, Jones is currently in the process of putting the finishing touches on his sophomore album, "The American Dream." The follow-up of his last year's "Who Is Mike Jones?" which has gone Platinum, the LP is scheduled to hit the music stores in late November 2006.

Dole To The Rescue
WASHINGTON, D.C.: Newt Gingrich took just about everyone by surprise announcing on the House floor today that Bob Dole will loan him the $300,00 he needs to pay his ethics fine. Virtually every member of the House was surprised by the move, reports TIME's Jay Carney. Once they recovered, Democrats were quick to cry foul, charging that the loan was ethically questionable, coming as it did from someone who has just joined a high-powered Washington lobbying firm. Minority whip David Bonior claimed that Dole had passed Gingrich a "sweetheart deal" paid for by the tobacco lobby. "Dole is not a lobbyist per se," notes Carney. "And there is a provision in the loan that should he become a lobbyist, the loan will be turned over to a commercial bank. In general, the American people think highly enough of Dole that Gingrich should be safe on those grounds." The terms are extremely good: Gingrich has eight years to begin paying back the loan with an interest rate of 1.5 percent over prime (currently 10 percent). But Dole, who made $500,000 from his Super Bowl "Visa" spot alone, does not need the money, and his offer may well be as selfless as it sounds. "Apparently, it was all Dole's idea," Carney says. "He's never been someone who cared too much about having money. It really seems that Dole saw a chance to help out where he was needed."

There has been a growing concern throughout the season that the Bengals would lose one of their coordinators to a head coaching job this offseason. It appears that offensive coordinator Jay Gruden will get the first crack at one.
The Eagles are expected to request permission on Monday to speak to Gruden about their head coach opening, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Gruden is the latest of a growing interview list for the Eagles, who will meet with Oregon coach Chip Kelly, Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy, Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians and Seahawks defensive coordinator Gus Bradley in Arizona. It's safe to say the Eagles are casting a wide net.
Even if the Bengals grant permission, there is a chance Gruden won't meet with the Eagles. It was only last January that Gruden declined an interview request with the Rams for their head coaching position and signed a three-year, $3.6 million extension to remain with the Bengals.
On Tuesday, Gruden said he hadn't been contacted by any teams looking for a new head coach, and that isn't his focus heading into Saturday's wild-card game at Houston.
"I'm trying to get a first down right now," Gruden said. "I'm trying to get these guys ready to go. That's the furthest thing from my mind. I would be surprised. I haven't heard from anybody. It's not an issue."

About Me
1/11/12: After a long hiatus from photography, I am back and working on a very select TFP basis. If you contact me, creativity is a must.
The work you see featured on this site was mostly shot around 5 years ago, when I was a much more active photographer. Lately I've been exploring other mediums of expression such as painting and writing.

Australia's shopping centre rents have stopped falling and have been stable for two consecutive quarters, according to real estate group JLL.
JLL's head of retail, property and asset management, Tony Doherty, said the stability set the groundwork for a recovery in retail market conditions in the second half of 2014.
"The latest ABS data indicates retail turnover growth has increased since September last year, from 3.0 per cent a year to 4.9 per cent a year in February 2014," he said.
"The uplift in spending is consistent with what we are seeing across the JLL-managed shopping centre portfolio.
"We have worked closely with all of our clients to ensure their shopping centres are well placed to capture spending growth as retail activity gathers pace," Mr Doherty said.
JLL's national retail analyst, Andrew Quillfeldt, said the acceleration in retail sales growth had been under way for the past six months and would flow through to leasing after the usual time lag. "Containing costs and managing the effects of discounting remain key challenges for many retailers, so we expect there to be limited rental growth in 2014, but the outlook beyond 2014 is becoming increasingly positive for the retail sector," he said.
In the middle of the last decade, rents were generally growing around 4 per cent a year.
They fell with the financial crisis, rose with the stimulus, and then fell as the stimulus evaporated.
For the past six months, rents have been flat in the major retail categories – regional, sub-regional, neighbourhood and bulky goods centres.
In the year before, rents actually fell by an average 0.4 per cent.
The latest deceleration in sales growth for Woolworths and Coles is a concern but most shopping centre owners have reported better conditions in the past six months.
On Wednesday Stockland reported 2.5 per cent comparable specialty sales growth in its shopping malls.

There seems to be a special place in the embers of hostility for single mothers. Perhaps it scrambles our view of traditional parenting, our view of how women should be. Instead of recognising the work and sacrifice these parents make, we content ourselves with demonising them through tabloid tales of debauched gluttony and lascivious schadenfreude: they cheat on welfare, they have children to different fathers, they're lazy and don't want to work!
The most recent example of such hostility can be seen in the form of slashing parenting payments and panicked moralising of online editorial. John Hirst, writing for The Age, appears to alternate between historian and social commenter disturbed by the presence of people on his lawn by expressing the belief that increased payments for women would be good ... just as long as we could trust them to parent well.
Such commentary is often divorced from personal experience or in-depth reading of statistics. It's an easy task to blithely admonish women who allegedly rear their children on a diet of "daytime tv [and] junk food", surrounded by a succession of "no-good boyfriends" when you're in a nice home, surrounded by people and support that validate your worldview. Some people even call it privilege.
So, as the designated single mother, let's make it a fair fight. Let's actually look at the popular myths and see where they stand against statistics and policies:
Single-parent homes aren't good for children
This is a favourite line for many when they want to claim traditional family values. And it's true – single parent families are statistically more likely to experience poverty thanks to reduced income, violence from living in low-income areas or stress or just shitty parenting, and reduced education and health outcomes (see again low income). They don't mention the statistics about the devastating affect on children who grow up in two parent families where abuse and addiction is prevalent and they don't cross reference the single parent families with two parent families who despise one another (apparently that's not a noted variable yet).
In fact, numerous studies show that children suffer more from the separation of parents than the death of a parent. Why? Here's an idea: conflict. The conflict leading up to and following a separation are more damaging to a child's development. Placing a child in an environment that features hostility and poverty is damaging no matter what the parental status of the family.
What have we learned? Kids don't grow up well in conflict or poverty. They are the true factors that stain childhood development, not a parent's marital status.
Kids from single parent families face more abuse
According to research from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, abuse was most likely to take place in the homes of single mothers (33.7%) and intact two-parent (32.4%) homes. The statistics do suggest there is a higher risk of abuse in homes led by single mothers more than any other demographic in Australian society. Even though the states and territories record family types differently, there is enough data to suggest this is a risk area.
However, the researchers note that this figure may be exacerbated due to poverty and isolation, which are known contributors to child abuse. Given this correlation, the decision to reduce welfare payments seems culpable.
So, yes, abuse happens. Are the determining factors parental status or poverty and isolation? Logic would suggest the latter.
Single mothers need less money so they will be encouraged to work more
According to recent policies and editorial, giving single mothers less money is just the thing to force them into work. It seems like a neat piece of logic until you consider the impacts:
So, the plan is to convince those single mothers struggling in poverty to get off welfare and try to find a job, take on increased cost to be able to work (and let's not forget 17.4% gender pay gap) and overcome a system prejudiced against hiring them is to slash their payments? We're going to slash the payments of families who are already in poverty?
Single mothers are bad parents who make bad choices with food, entertainment and men
Does this happen? According to global statistics, yes… on the surface. Kids from single parent homes eat less fruit and vegetables and watch more tv. A recent study suggests that the complicating factor is not due to the fact they have one parent (and a bad one at that) but that, due to poverty and moving to less secure suburbs, single parents actually don't want their children to exercise outside and face the threat of violence. Keep a family poor and they'll have poorer outcomes.
I searched the Australian Bureau of Statistics for rates on single mothers and bad boyfriend choices but they haven't published anything yet.
Jobless single mothers on welfare raise welfare recipients
While, intergenerational welfare is a reality, it should be analysed with caution: the ABS Survey of Employment and Unemployment Patterns (SEUP) collected information from a group of job-seekers over a period of several years. While it shows that children of welfare recipients are more likely to receive welfare later in life, it also indicated that a "father's employment appears to be have been more influential on young people's employment outcomes than mother's (ABS 1998: 106)".
Teenage girls are baby crazy single mother machines jonesin' for a bonus
Australian Institute of Family Studies data places teen mums as making up 8.3% of first time mums in 2008, a 4% reduction since 1991. In fact, the biggest statistical shift for new mums has been for the 30-34 year old demographic, which jumped from 18.1% to 27.6%. The calling to place teen mothers in hostels, given the recent inquiries into state and charity-based care, seems ignorantly callous and pointless.
An interesting bigotry is on display when we discuss single parent families. Women are portrayed as poor victims and abusers and men are either treated as invisible or suspected pedophiles and family bashers. Rather than tackle the causes of stress, insecurity and poverty, we appear to be obsessed with demonising the people suffering without adequate support.
I'm a single parent. I'm also intensely lucky – there is privilege in my life thanks to a middle class upbringing and access to meaningful work from two jobs. There are times when I have been knocked back for work and promotions and faced discrimination in previous jobs because I am a parent. My child isn't fat because I am unable to afford a car so we pay extra on rent to live closer and walk everywhere. We live on a restricted food diet for the same budget purposes. We do watch a godawful amount of TV but she also reads three grade levels above and plans to be a physicist. Her father is an amazing and equal parent and, as for subsequent no-good boyfriends, well, I'd never say such things in public. I haven't abused her yet but, obviously that's only matter of time.
There are many parents who have not been as fortunate and have thanked the meagre blanket welfare has afforded them. Coming up with plans to lock them away or push them further into poverty and depression is not a solution to the problem for them or the country.

The hotel is beautiful, the rooms are little houses al beautifully decorated, modern, an excellent kitchen. The hotel staff was a bid slow, breakfast was not well prepared, arriving in the restaurant the tables were not cleaned from the night before and there was no one in the kitchen to make breakfast. We got some bread and coffee. The next morning was the same story, for a hotel with these prices and reputation, this is not acceptable.
nothing No air conditioning only a noisy fan. Tiny double bed with only one small pillow each. Approx one mile out of Apt, not the 500mtrs as advertised.Tiny TV with no working english channel. Avoid!
Room decent size, balcony. No à la carte menu, only buffet style dinner option.
Excellent buffet meal in the evening and excellent buffet breakfast. Room had no view .. down in the basement. Unlikely to stay here again as it was really for young families and coach parties.
The pool area. Big rooms. Nice and big balcony. Tennis court food menu for lunch and dinner
The price for our three people is very resonable( 78 Euro).The room for us is very good with view of montain . The hotel environment is like a countryclub-with good fercilities. The staff is friendly and nice. The only pity thing is the breakfast is poor--charged too much( 8.20 euro per porson), We could not find cold cut meat, the bread has no chioce.....If it could be improved on the qualily of breakfast, it will be perfact.
The hotel is beautifully located in a large castle-like house on the side of the provincial town of Apt. Enough parking space, nice patio, friendly staff and great swimming pool and garden. The room we had was clean, although small and with a small window. However, some of the other (pricier) rooms have balkonies or terraces. The airco worked well and the bathroom was good. Good wifi. Quite far from town, so not really suited for a quick walk into town. The swimming pool was freaking cold, even in mid-summer ;-)
The hotel was clean and the breakfast was good value for money. The pool was excellent if too cold to swim in at the time of year we chose. It was fine for a few days but would not spend a week. The hotel offered little after 9pm. There was little atmosphere, no bar or relaxing areas within the hotel. It was positioned too far from Apt unless you were prepared to drive.
very nice location and atmosphere, friendly staff,, comfortably but rather basic facilities too expensive for the standard. restaurant closed 2 nites a week while no alternative nearby. a small fridge in the room could resolve this but none
the hotel was very clean and rooms were well appointed with air conditioning, telephone and balcony. The staff were friendly and gave us some details of good restaurants in the area. on the evenings of our stay (Sunday and Monday) there was no food available in the hotel in the evening. We would also have appreciated a mini fridge in the room or to have been able to have a drink in the hotel bar.
The different villages in the area
Nice old french hotel if yoy want to hove dinner.make a reservation super reataurant.r
Friendly, helpful staff. Beautiful clean, large room and bathroom. Great breakfast. Supurb view out the window.
It is comfortable and nice for a short stay for 2 people.
Clean, good food, amiable staff, comfortable air conditioned room. It was good value for money.
Clean room, friendly and attentive staff, good breakfast, well situated.
owner is very pleasant and helpful. no air conditioning, no windown screens, missing some essential furnitures, chair, vanity, hooks. ect...the hotel needs a real upgrade to get some international guests. reserved 9 nights but stayed only 1 night due to lack of comfort.
very nice owner lack of facilities in the room
Very friendly and helpful owner. Great value. Clean, basic and comfortable.

Farm co-ops can provide the world with an "alternative vision" to government or international agriculture policies that place too much emphasis on profits, protecting certain markets or employing new technology that could prove dangerous, Pope Benedict XVI said.
The pope made his comments in a message marking Tuesday's celebration of World Food Day, a commemoration sponsored by the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization to highlight the global fight against hunger and the need to help farmers and farm workers.
The theme of the 2012 celebration was: "Agricultural Cooperatives: Key to feeding the world."
The cooperatives, Pope Benedict said, are an alternative to policies that "seem to have as their sole objective profit, the defense of markets, the non-food use of agricultural products (and) the introduction of new production techniques without the necessary precaution."
The pope did not get specific about non-food uses, such as growing crops for bio-fuels, or whether the new techniques he referred to include genetically modified crops.
He said agricultural cooperatives can be important ways for local people to control their own work lives and respond to local needs for employment and food security. At the same time, he said, they are a means to bring people together, value the contributions of individuals and promote the common good of a group.
The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization's goal of eradicating poverty, Pope Benedict said, requires a commitment from the international community, individual governments and men and women inspired by solidarity and a desire to increase people's participation in decisions that have an impact on how food is grown and distributed.
"Agricultural cooperatives are a concrete example because they are called to create not only adequate levels of production and distribution, but also a more general growth of rural areas and the people who live there," the pope said.
Pope Benedict said cooperatives also are a practical example of what Catholic social teaching means when it encourages "subsidiarity": making decisions at the simplest, most decentralized and most local level possible.
The pope also used his message to offer a special greeting to those living in situations "where conflicts or natural disasters" have destroyed agricultural production and where, in many cases, "women are called to direct the activity of the cooperatives, maintain family ties and safeguard the precious elements of rural know-how and methods."

A takeaway boss tried to recruit six girls as child prostitutes, one as young as 12, in a "cold, clinical, exploitation of the desperate and vulnerable", a court heard today.
Azad Miah, 44, is said to have "hounded" and "stalked" girls to have sex for money while at the same time allegedly running a brothel from his city centre premises in Carlisle, Cumbria.
A jury at Carlisle Crown Court was told he also paid regularly for the sexual services of a girl over a four-year period from when she was aged 14.
Opening the case, Tim Evans, prosecuting, said: "This is a case in which this defendant sought to persuade a variety of young girls, some of whom he knew were under 16, to have sex with him for money via the provision of drugs or drink.
"Those requests were either made face to face when girls either came into the The Spice of India in Botchergate or were made by telephone calls and texts.
"The attempted persuasion was persistent. He would hound young girls for periods of weeks or months face to face or over the phone. Perhaps most worryingly, he would stalk some of them, following them home.
"Some of the girls that he had made approaches to did indeed have sex with him for money."
Mr Evans said many of the alleged victims aged from 12 to 16 were told by Miah that their friends were also having sex with him for money.
He told the jury it would hear "in essence" that The Spice of India, since closed, not only operated as a takeaway restaurant but as a brothel "where women attended and prostituted themselves".
The prosecutor said many of the girls involved in the case were addicted to drugs or came from troubled backgrounds.
"It is the Crown's case that the defendant deliberately targeted girls who fell into that category or who had other problems with the law," he said.
"The defendant believed that such girls would be more likely to give in to his persistent offers ... and they may find themselves less likely to be believed if they complained to the police against a responsible, respected restaurateur of the city."
Mr Evans said it may be that Miah's defence team would portray the alleged victims as "the sort of girls who will lie".
He continued: "On the facts of this case you may think that far from being an argument for the defence, the character and background of these girls is a powerful part of the prosecution case."
"It supports the argument, the Crown say, that this was cold, clinical, calculated exploitation of the desperate and vulnerable; drug addicts very often."
Miah denies eight counts of paying for the sexual services of a child between 2005 and 2009, eight counts of inciting child prostitution between 2007 and 2011 and one count of keeping a brothel between 2005 and 2011.

Microarray technology provides the unprecedented ability to interrogate the gene expression levels of thousands of genes simultaneously. This workshop is designed to bring researchers using this technology together to share their findings and to discuss obstacles and opportunities for using microarrays to identify genes involved in addiction.
Excellent presentations highlighted the cutting edge work going on in this area. Of particular interest was the complementary use of genetic and gene expression data to identify genes involved in neuropsychiatric disorders, as well as the translation of basic mouse research to human gene/phenotype discovery. During the discussions several recommendations were made. These included:
Since many members of this group pioneered investigations into the relationships between genotype and gene expression phenotypes, there was also much discussion about analogous investigations into the relationships between genotype, gene expression phenotype, and epigenetic phenotypes as well as how one could use recombinant inbred strains to genetically map epigenetic phenomena.
Dr. Robert Williams is working on a meeting review article for potential publication in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology.

TICKETS for the Bolton Food and Drink Festival are selling fast — with seats sold out for the Hairy Bikers and just a handful of places left to see their fellow celebrity chefs.
Two-star Michelin chef Michael Caines is opening this year's four-day festival, which starts on Friday, August 26, with TV favourites James Martin and Gino D'Acampo also making appearances.
Council leader Cllr Cliff Morris said: "With just weeks to go to our biggest festival to date, preparations are well under way.
"Tickets have been selling really well and the Hairy Bikers have already sold out.
"There are a handful left to see Gino and James in action and I'd urge people to reserve their seats while they can."
The Hairy Bikers' sold out shows take place on the Saturday, with Italian chef Gino D'Acampo entertaining crowds on the Sunday, and James Martin cooking on the final day.
All demonstrations take place at 11am, 1pm and 3pm and the shows last for 40 minutes. Tickets cost £5.
Michelin-starred chef Michael Caines will do two demonstrations at 12.30pm and 2pm on the Friday, and there is no charge for these shows.
A pop-up restaurant will also occupy the former Olive Press building in Nelson Square during the festival.
Chefs from the awardwinning Second Floor, in Harvey Nichols, Manchester, will take up residence in the vacant restaurant.
Tickets for cookery demonstrations can be bought from the Albert Halls box office on 01204 334400.
