We are glad to announce the availability of AMS 5.0.3 .
This hotfix release provides a refresh to the certificates used by PHDS, PHLS and PRTMP content protection. The certificates provided with the earlier releases will expire in August 2013. The refresh of the certificates can be done by simply replacing the older certificates with the new certificates. The list of certificates that have been refreshed are –
- creds/static/phds_license_server.der
- creds/static/phds_production_transport.der
- creds/static/phds_license_server.pfx
- creds/static/phds_production_packager.pfx
- creds/static/phds_data
You can see the expiry date by double clicking on a certificate in your Explorer window.
This release also provides enhancements to PRTMP Streaming
- PRTMP now supports Key rotation, which was earlier available for Protected HTTP streaming.
- The common-key file and whitelist file can now be updated at runtime, without requiring a server restart.
- The common-key and whitelist access in the PRTMP on-demand workflow is now routed through the file adaptor, if present, and can be configured to handle requests of content-type "PRTMP".
- AMS access log now supports an additional column "x-sprotection-ver" that will be logged with application and stream events with a value of "1" if the stream is protected (PRTMP enabled)
The f4f packager has also been updated to support the generation of manifest lines with different license server URLS without doing the packaging multiple times. This is helpful when the workflows consists of different Test Servers and Production Servers.
The details of the Bugs fixed in this release are available in the Release Notes
On Premise users can download the update from Adobe.com AMS Updates Page . Amazon Web Services users can subscribe to the new AMIS here. The details of Amazon AMI IDs can be accessed in the AMS Documentation.
If you face any issues, feel free to report to us on AMS Forums.
Note: Please note that the PHDS, PHLS and PRTMP functionalities will require the new certificates to continue working after the expiry of your current certificates. Only the certificates need to be refreshed and a complete version upgrade is not required to have PHDS, PHLS and PRTMP functionalities working.
These certificates are also updated in any new downloads you do from Adobe Media Server Product page. The new certificates are valid from 5th April 2013 to 6th April 2015.

Did you know?
The three pointed leaf of the Msinsi tree, the symbol of the Wilderness Foundation, is symbolic of the most important relationships in the world: person to divinity, person to soil and person to person.
"Take this leaf because it comes from a tree that is a tree of the wild and you will also find it next to every kraal. So it is a tree of the people too." These are the words of Magqubu Ntombela, one of the founders of the Wilderness Foundation.
The green leaf stems from the Erythrina caffra or, as it is commonly known, the coral tree. The Wilderness Foundation sees these two as akin to mother and child. The Foundation hopes to forge a better understanding between ecosystem health and human well-being. The Green Leaf Environmental Standard is a tried and tested environmental management system aimed at fostering this understanding.
The Green Leaf Environmental Standard is categorised into five elements that reflect environmental concerns: water, energy, waste, green procurement and innovation. These elements are then divided into sub-categories, which produce a score out of 100. Scores above 75% are recognised with a Green Leaf, while those above 95% are distinguished with a Gold Leaf.
Since its launch in 2008, accommodation owners all over Africa have embraced the Green Leaf Environmental Standard and are undergoing assessments. Tour operators have also endorsed the Green Leaf Environmental Standard in response to the growing environmental pressures, traveller awareness and consumerism.
Sustainable tourism is essential if the planet is to reverse the effects of global environmental damage. If you are travelling in South Africa, seek out the Green Leaf Environmental Standard as a means of minimising your own carbon footprint as well as issuing a challenge to those in the tourism industry that being green is not only viable but essential.
Visit the Green Leaf website to see those organisations that have been recognised by the Foundation.

Catch up: Christopher Dorner manhunt coverage
The $1 million reward offered for the capture of fugitive Christopher Dorner sparked phone tips throughout the night to the Los Angeles Police Department, but none of the tips have led to an arrest, police said Monday morning.
The search for the fired LAPD officer enters its second week today, with authorities across Southern California still looking for the man.
"We're getting many (tips), but nothing that's enabled us to locate him," said Los Angeles police Detective Gus Villanueva.
He did not specify the nature of the calls, or how many were received.
Los Angeles officials announced the reward Sunday. The city and county of Riverside each plan to contribute $100,000 toward the reward this week. Riverside police said officers received no calls regarding Dorner, or even false sightings. San Bernardino County sheriff's dispatchers had not received any calls on the case either.
Los Angeles police did come to Northridge on Sunday afternoon on what turned out to be a false sighting at a Lowe's store. Police received a call of the sighting at 3:35 p.m., cordoned off the area and checked customers one by one. But there was no sign of Dorner.
"It was a big zero," Villanueva said. "It took about three hours for that whole process."
Dorner is wanted in connection with the shooting deaths of an Irvine couple and Riverside police Officer Michael Crain, a Redlands High School graduate.
In his lengthy manifesto released last week on Facebook, Dorner said he is purposely targeting police officers and their families as revenge for being unjustly fired from the LAPD five years ago.

FERNANDINA BEACH, Fla. - 11 counties in Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia cancelled school for Thursday.
Baker, Bradford, Columbia, Hamilton, Nassau, Suwannee and Union counties in Florida and Brantley, Camden, Charlton and McIntosh counties in Georgia decided to cancel school because weather conditions could make morning driving hazardous.
"We were worried about a period of time, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. this evening until Thursday morning," said Nassau County Superintendent of Schools, Dr. John Ruis. "We have some area we're concerned about, the roads and perhaps some bridge that may have some ice."
Lighthouse Christian School announced that all eight of its campuses in Clay and Duval counties were closed Thursday.
Parents told Channel 4 Wednesday night that they didn't think school should be shut down Thursday.
'There's not ice involved, just a little chilly. Put a little scarf on them and they'll be okay," said Melissa Bridley.
"Just a little inclement weather," said Bob Medley. "Got to find sitters and everything like that."
Ware County has decided to open schools on Thursday, but two hours later than normal to allow road conditions to clear.
Glynn and Pierce counties will reopen their schools Thursday.
Childtime Learning Center's locations in Kingland and St. Marys will be closed Thursday. The Suwannee Valley 4Cs Head Start and Early Head Start centers in Columbia, Hamilton Lafayette and Suwannee counties will also close Thursday.
In Baker and Camden counties, students and all employees school are expected to stay home due to the potential for unsafe driving conditions.
In Nassau County, less than 12-month employees will not report to work on Thursday. Twelve-month employees are expected to report to work as travel conditions safely permit, likely by 10 a.m.
Camden County will reopen all other government offices on Thursday, and the cold weather shelter opened at Kingsland First United Church on Tuesday afternoon will remain open until 10 a.m. Thursday. No pets, weapons, drugs or alcohol are allowed in the shelter.
Parents, grandparents agree with decision; Others seek shelter
Wanda Walker, who has five grandchildren in school, along with other parents and grandparents who agree with the decision to close school Thursday.
"We have lots of roads that are not safe," she said. "I know it rained all night last night, so I didn't even know if they would have it today."
Emergency officials are warning people that this isn't something to take lightly.
"It will be a situation that we will continue to monitor and hope for the best but prepare for the worst," said Shayne Morgan, Columbia County Emergency Operations manager. "The potential for areas of roadways that may be frozen over; we've had rain the past couple of days and we haven't really had a chance for that rain to evaporate, so there might be patches where people might think that it's a puddle that's ahead of them but it's really something that's iced over."
Homeless aid organizations are worried about the less fortunate out on the streets. The cold, wet weather could be deadly for those who don't have a warm place to stay. That's why the people at Lake City's Catholic Charities are providing motel rooms for those who need them. It's a safe spot to spend the frigid next few days.
"There are no shelters, so they were trying to make arrangements really early the last couple of days," said Suzanne Edwards, CEO of Catholic Charities. "As late as 7:15 this morning, they were in our office looking to seek shelter."
And at the nearby United Way of Suwannee Valley, officials are giving out blankets and warm clothes. They say people who may have homes but are low on money have to be watchful because their energy bills will go up from all the heat, so they too need help.
"They're going to be receiving bills that are going to be more than they are used to, which trying to juggle that with their ongoing expenses," said Rita Dopp, executive director of the organization. "So I think we can expect to see an increased demand in requests for assistance just based on the fact that people are going to have increased expenses this winter due to their heating costs."
To make a donation to those in need, call Catholic Charities at 386-754-9180 or go to catholiccharitieslakecity.org. Or call the United Way of Suwannee Valley at 386-752-5604 or go to unitedwaysuwanneevalley.org.

Bread Pudding, Lightened Upby Dana Angelo White in Meal Makeovers, January 26, 2012
Soaked in sugar, eggs and half-and-half, bread pudding is decadent to say the least. Good news – it's possible to cozy up with a tasty version of this comfort food for less calories.
Nutrition Facts
Classic bread pudding recipes can have over 600 calories and 30 grams of fat per serving. If you're using doughnuts and buttery croissants instead of bread, you'd be lucky to keep things under 1000 calories.
The basic recipe is simple, combine bread with custard and bake. To lighten things up, use smarter ingredients at each stage of the recipe and keep portions to about ½ cup per person.
Dense or sweetened breads will undoubtedly have more calories and monster portions just aren't necessary. Consider using whole-grain bread for tummy-filling fiber and figure on 4 to 5 cups of cubed bread for 8 servings.
Replacing half-and-half with low fat milk saves 200 calories and 25 grams of fat per cup. Don't worry about the thinner consistency of the milk, eggs help thicken the mixture and allow it to bake without separating. For every 2 cups of liquid, add 2 eggs and ½ to ¾ cup of sugar.
Boost flavor (sensibly) with any of these embellishments:
• Add 2 cups of fresh fruit or ½ cup of dried fruit
• Sprinkle the top with cinnamon and sugar before baking
• Mix in ¼ cup dark chocolate chips
• Add 2 tablespoons of rum or orange liqueur to the custard
Tell Us: What's your favorite bread pudding recipe?

Ukraine's interim president has made a dramatic about-face aimed at defusing tensions in the separatist east by backing a national referendum on turning the ex-Soviet republic into a federation with broader regional rights.
European powers meanwhile sought to raise the pressure on Russia - which it blames for fomenting the tensions - with Britain calling for "further sanctions" on Moscow ahead of a meeting of EU foreign ministers.
And Germany signalled its own resolve to take a tougher stance against a partner from which it imports 40 per cent of its gas by noting there were "many signs" that armed groups operating in eastern Ukraine were "receiving support from Russia".
Interim president Oleksandr Turchynov's u-turn came only hours after pro-Kremlin militants who reject the authority of the new Western-backed leaders ignored an ultimatum to end their occupation of strategic buildings or face a "full-scale anti-terrorist operation" involving both internal security forces and army troops.
The coordinated raids and dual threat posed by Russia's deployment of 40,000 troops on Ukraine's border and warning of a possible gas cutoff have left Kiev's untested leaders desperately seeking Western help in averting a further dismemberment of their crisis-hit state.
EU foreign ministers - their capitals bracing for what might be the third halt in Russian gas supplies since 2006 - gathered in Luxembourg to discuss whether to pursue a third and most punishing-yet round of economic sanctions against Moscow.
But Washington has also advised Kiev to devolve powers in order to remove any argument Moscow might make about discrimination against Russian speakers - a charge that has fed fears of a further invasion following the Kremlin's annexation of Crimea last month.
Turchynov had long and furiously resisted Russia's idea of turning Ukraine into a federation. But he said on Monday that he was ready to put it up for a national vote to prove that most shared his view.
"I am certain that a majority of Ukrainians will support an indivisible, independent, democratic and united Ukraine," Turchynov told leading lawmakers in nationally televised remarks.
Pro-Kremlin protesters in rundown eastern rust belt regions such as Donetsk and Kharkiv are seeking local referendums on either broader rights or an option to join the Russian Federation.
The pro-Kremlin gunmen's latest raids were especially unsettling for Kiev and Western leaders because of their remarkable similarity to events leading up to Russia's annexation of Crimea.
The balaclava-clad gunmen were armed with special-issue assault rifles and scopes most often used by nations' crack security troops.
Many wore unmarked camouflage uniforms similar to those seen on the highly trained units that seized the Black Sea peninsula in early March. They also moved with military precision and cohesion.
Turchynov had warned on Sunday evening that he would launch a "full-scale" assault against the militants if they failed to give up by Monday morning.
AFP reporters across the Donetsk region saw no signs of a Ukrainian offensive.
But Donetsk Governor Sergiy Taruta told local residents in an official statement that the army operation had already begun.
"They are terrorists and we will not allow them to lord over our land," he said.

Packaging tutorial
From MEPIS Documentation Wiki
!!! Warning! The info contained in this article pertains to older versions of MEPIS !!!
There may still be some valuable material here, but the current methods are described in the MEPIS Package Building Guide.
This is a short tutorial for creating .deb packages "Debian style." For detailed information please refer to: http://women.debian.org/wiki/English/PackagingTutorial and http://women.debian.org/wiki/English/BuildingWithoutHelper tutorials. For a GUI packaging helper you can download this program: Debian Package Tools FE
Run this command in konsole (as root) to install the required packages:
apt-get install build-essential devscripts dh-make fakeroot autotools-dev
You can also install some usually needed dev packages:
apt-get install xorg-dev libqt3-mt-dev kdelibs4-dev
Add in ~/.bashrc these environment variables:
export firstname.lastname@example.com export DEBFULLNAME="Your name"
These variables will be used by dh_make. Then run in terminal:
source ~/.bashrc
Prepare the package
1. Untar the package you want to compile, open konsole in the folder created (press F4 in the file manager)
2. Run:
dh_make -s -n
( -s option is for creating a single binary .deb package, -n for native Debian package)
3. Change directory to debian
cd debian
4. If you don't need any special configuration you can delete all *.ex (example) files. You can also edit the copyright and control files to add info about the license, authors, and a short package description.
Run this command to create the binary package:
debuild -us -uc -b
If the compilation is successful you will find the .deb package in the parent folder.

Value Cooling: Two Towers for under $30by Wesley Fink on 1/23/2007 3:50 AM EST

takumsawsherman - Wednesday, January 24, 2007 - linkWhy is the Tuniq tower 120 being compared against much cheaper coolers with smaller fans? Why not pit it against the Thermalright HR-01, which would be more of an apples to apples comparison?
I am sure that Scythe must have a more worthy competitor as well, though I am not familiar with their line. Reply
LoneWolf15 - Thursday, January 25, 2007 - link
I am sure that Scythe must have a more worthy competitor as well, though I am not familiar with their line.
Scythe's Infinity is probably the closest competitor. I believe there may be a few other sites that have reviewed it. Reply
Wesley Fink - Wednesday, January 24, 2007 - linkYou neglected to mention that we also compared the performance of the Scythe Katana and Thermalright MST-9775 to the Intel Retail HSF that comes with the Core 2 Duo processor. Until we test a cooler that might perform better than the Tuniq the range of performance is "real-world" between the Intel Retail HSF and the Tuniq. We believe most readers want to know how a tested cooler compares in this rnage - so they can decide if the features or cost are worth the performance drop from the best we have tested.
In the future we will be testing some new tower coolers that should challenge the Tuniq. We also plan a value cooler roundup of coolers under $30.
Zoomer - Wednesday, January 24, 2007 - linkSeconded!
I'm looking forward to seeing the Arctic Cooler 7 Pro review. In cooler climates with a core2 duo, there is really no need to spend the extra $30 for a huge tower heatsink. Reply
Calin - Wednesday, January 24, 2007 - linkThe comparison was between the baseline (the included cooler) and the best air cooler there is (at least known/proven until now).
Should the Tuniq Tower be compared to the best air cooled equipments out there? Yes, and it would be nice to compare it to a not very expensive water cooled system too. Reply
Jodiuh - Wednesday, January 24, 2007 - linkWell if that's not reason enough to get a Tuniq. Reply
LoneWolf15 - Wednesday, January 24, 2007 - linkGetting one dropped my temps from my old Swiftech by 5-8C when idle and 8-15C under load.
It sure was a good enough reason for me. And that's with the fan at a quiet 1400rpm.
And I agree (with what I think you're saying) that, if you're going to spend $30 for an aftermarket cooler, and the Tuniq will fit, why not spend an extra 20-25 for best aftermarket cooler you can get? Reply
Avalon - Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - linkI think it's a good addition to AT to include cooling reviews. However, you guys should see if you can expand temperature gauging a little more to also include PWM temps and other important temperatures, as some HSF solutions have a large affect on these, while others don't.
Also, really want to see the Coolermaster Hyper TX in the next roundup! Reply
Vidmar - Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - linkWhat was the orientation of the CPU/heatsink during the tests? Was the case (and MB) in a horizontal or vertical orientation? Since these new coolers use heatpipes and since the heatpipe technology relies on a liquid that turns to gas when heated then back to liquid when cool, the orientation of the heatsink/heatpipe plays a huge role in how the well it will perform.
I would like to think that you are running these tests with the case in a vertical orientation like what a large portion of your readers would be using. But since you never say we don't know. If these tests are being conducted with the case in a horizontal orientation (laying flat on a table), I would expect that the results would be different than what people would get at home (mostly vertical).
Wesley Fink - Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - linkNoise measurements were run with the case horizontal and an open side. Cooling tests were run with the case in the standard upright position, as our readers will most likely use them at home. Reply
Vidmar - Wednesday, January 24, 2007 - linkThanks for the info. Now I wonder if someone is making a CPU cooler where the heatpipes are setup to be in a somewhat vertical orientation when the case is vertical?
If you look at some GPU and chipset heatpipe coolers they obviously had that in mind with their design. Hot gas will flow up, gravity will pull the cool liquid down.
I would be willing to bet (based upon the heatpipe design) that Thermalright MST-9775 would have done better in a horizontal orientation than when in a vertical orientation. Can you re-test the Thermalright MST-9775 in a vertical orientation and see if it made any difference?
Vidmar - Wednesday, January 24, 2007 - linkThat should have been "Can you re-test the Thermalright MST-9775 in a horizontal orientation and see if it made any difference?" Reply
anandtech02148 - Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - linkjust curious, with a 520wtt psu, does psu fan spin constantly?
the hardwares you have seems to indicate this will utilized 80% of the psu, what's the total load power for this?
will this run stable if you put a 8800gtx instead of 7900gtx?
now i can visit Anandtech too for cooler reviews instead of Frostytech.com, great start with the under $30 coolers
Wesley Fink - Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - linkThe OCZ 520w PS handles a pair of overclocked 7900GTX in SLI mode just fine. We have destoyed power supplies with higher wattage ratings with this same configuration. It is also quiet for a PS, which is why it is also used in the hard drive test bed. We had no problem with a single 8800GTX in this test rig, but we have not yet tried 8800GTX SLI in this rig. Reply
ninethirty - Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - linkWondering -- for those of us with space-challenged cases, could you mention the height of the coolers in question? For people who can't fit a Tuniq Tower, the limitation is likely to be height.
If it's already mentioned somewhere, then I apologize for missing it. Reply
Wesley Fink - Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - linkThe Katana is 130mm tall (5.11") and the standard Thermalright MST-9775 is 71mm (2.8"). Thermalright also makes a shorter OEM version of the MST-9775 called the MST-9775 LE that is said to fit any case configuration available.
The Tuniq Tower 120 in contrast is 155mm tall and mid-tower cases are said to be 190mm on average in the heatsink height dimension. Reply
yyrkoon - Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - linkI second that motion. I have an Lian Li PC-G50, and the PSU sits right above the CPU, only aftermarket cooler I can think of that may fit, would be the Ole Gigabyte one (which if memory serves, it was a pretty good cooler). Reply
banshee164 - Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - linkNo offense guys, but aren't you just a little behind with the heatsinks here? The Katana has been out for a year & a half now, and the MST-9775 has been around since the summer... Reply
Wesley Fink - Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - linkWhile the Katana has been out for a year and a half, most earlier reviews tested it on the hot Pressler or a Socket 939 AMD. Performance on the Core 2 Duo is quite different, and C2D has only been available about 6 months.
We are testing some of the older and more popular coolers that are still available because what was true of the Katana on Pressler or AMD is certainly NOT the case on Core 2 Duo. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - linkIf you've been around AnandTech for a while, you know we haven't done cooling reviews in quite some time. The idea is to establish a baseline of testing results for some of the popular coolers, even if they've been out a while and over time we will be adding more cooler results. Basically, we have to start somewhere and move forward. Luckily, unlike motherboards, GPUs, and some other components, HSFs tend to have a pretty long shelf-life (at least for the effective solutions). Reply
orangesky - Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - linkSince the Thermalright fan blows down towards the motherboard (as does Intel's stock HSF), but the Katana blows across (and out of the case), it seems like there would be a noticable air flow difference on the components around the CPU (e.g., VRM, memory, and NB).
Was there any difference noted in the temperature of the "motherboard" (which probably is the NB)? I'm wondering if this is a concern or not, especially for OC'ing? Reply
Spacecomber - Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - linkFor coolers, like the Katana, which lack 4-wire connectors that 775 motherboards can automatically adjust fan speeds via, perhaps it would be helpful to take advantage of speedfan for comparing cooling across a range of fan speeds. (This is assuming that the relatively new 680i motherboard that you are using is supported by SpeedFan.) Reply
Doh! - Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - linkA new version of Katana has a 4-wire connector. I just bought one last week. The box has 775 written on it and does not come with a back plate. Reply
Wesley Fink - Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - linkScythe has introduced another version of the Katana called the Katana 775. This was to address the installation and fan speed issues we discussed. The Katana 775 only fits Socket 775 and it comes with a 4-pin fan header. The original Katana, with universal installation as we reviewed here, continues as a current product.
If you are only concerned with Socket 775 the Scythe Katana 775 looks lik a much better choice with easier installation and fan speed control at the same price or less than the original Katana. Reply
KorruptioN - Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - linkFor under $30, I think the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro should've been included. Quiet, not so heavy, with very good performance for the money. Reply
Wesley Fink - Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - linkWe are not finished with coolers under $30, and we will try to include the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro in our upcoming value cooler roundup. The Freezer 7 Pro also uses a 92mm fan, but it weighs a bit more than this pair at 520g (vs. 300g and 420g). Reply
mostlyprudent - Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - linkI notice in the noise charts that the Retail HSF is only listed once. Is this at its idle speed? I may have missed it in the review, but what is the RPM range of the retail HSF?
BTW, nice article. Reply
Wesley Fink - Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - linkThe Intel Retail HSF was below the system noise floor at both high and low speeds. We will try to make this clearer in future reviews. Reply

The incident happened as floodwater continued to cause a problem on local roads, even though the area escaped the expected heavy rain at the weekend.
The officer was marooned after his engine cut out as he drove along Derritt Lane, Bransgore, which has been closed for two weeks due to flooding, with an abandoned car already in the water.
Onlooker Simon Rowley said: "He will certainly be in deep water, deeper water than he was in today."
Private firm Wessex Fire and Rescue sent its Land Rover to tow the police car out of the water.
A Hampshire Constabulary spokesman said the officer had been returning from a response call.
"He was following several other cars that had successfully driven through the water without any difficulty, but, unfortunately, the marked Skoda Scout he was driving broke down," he said.
"The water level did not exceed wheel height and there was no ingress of water into the interior of the car. However, the vehicle unfortunately stopped.
"It has now been recovered and will be examined at our workshops to determine the exact nature of the breakdown. "
Dorset and the New Forest suffered only brief showers on Saturday, and enjoyed a rare dry, sunny spell on Sunday.
On Sunday, local weather expert Jim Smith tweeted that Bournemouth has endured 344mm of rain over the past 50 days, 41 per cent of the area's total annual average.
Further rain is expected this week.
Flood water caused structural damage to a building in Tollard Royal, North Dorset, and the B3081 was closed both ways as a result.
Elsewhere coastal areas were flooded at high tide, including the bottom of The Avenue at Branksome Chine, Christchurch and Mudeford quaysides and the A35 between the Bakers Arms roundabout Morden Park Corner.
Uddens Drive, near Ferndown, was closed due to a vehicle stuck in the water.
The Met Office has issued a further yellow warning of rain, covering Dorset, for Tuesday and Wednesday this week.
Up to 30mm of rain is likely to fall in the worst hit areas of the region, with wind gusts of 60-70mph, and experts have warned of the danger of further flooding in coastal areas.

HOUSTON - A cooling system makes up 50 percent of household energy costs, so any improvements when maintaining the system, especially going more energy efficient, are bound to save you some cash.
Changing the filter on your air conditioner, especially during the summer when there is more dust and allergens in the air, is one of the simplest things you can do.
"Remember to check it every month when you pay your utility bill. It's something that anyone can do themselves and it can save you up to 15 percent on your energy bills," said Angie Hicks from the service referral website, Angie's List.
Hicks told Local 2 that everyone should be getting a yearly tune-up on their A/C units.
"For a typical tune-up on your air conditioner, it's probably going to cost around $70 to $100. Also, keep in mind, many companies do have maintenance plans that offer it at a little lower price," Hicks said.
Spotting problems early, like more humidity in the house or the unit kicking on more often, are a good reason to call someone in.
"If the outdoor coils are dirty. If the cooling capacity is not up to par or they are not getting air flow out, things like that can show that the air conditioner needs to be tuned-up," said Darren Scaggs, an A/C service technician.
Hicks said some of the Angie's List most highly rated service specialists say the majority of their emergency repair calls can be traced back to poor maintenance. The repair people say each year, an air conditioner goes without maintenance, it will lose about 5 percent of its overall efficiency.
"It is true, if the system is not operating the way it's supposed to and has dirty coils, over-heated motors, or lacks refrigerant, all of it affects that system's efficiency. So as it goes through the year, it can lose efficiency if it's not tuned-up properly," Scaggs said.
Some companies hire maintenance technicians to do their tune-ups as an entry level position. So make sure the service people have certification that shows they have met the minimum standards for knowledge of their trade.
A typical service call should be around $70 to $100. However, be wary of companies offer significantly lower prices. Be sure, even in emergencies, to take the time to call around and get multiple estimates.
When it comes to saving money and your air conditioner, it does not just have to be during repair time. Every degree you set your thermostat below 78 degrees increases your energy consumption by about 8 percent. If your monthly electric bill is about $100, you'll save $8 a month with each degree you go above 78.
Get Checkups: Each central air conditioning unit should be inspected, cleaned and tuned by a professional before the summer season. Ask about annual maintenance plans. More HVACs are offering these plans that will insure visits twice per calendar year.
Items checked during a tune-up may include:
· Safety controls are inspected.
· Refrigerant levels to ensure there are no Freon leaks.
· Compressor and electrical components are cleaned and checked for proper operation and life expectancy.
· Filters checked and changed, if necessary.
· Outdoor coil is cleaned.
· Check temperature and proper air flow.
· Calibrate thermostats.
Keep the filter clean: Clean and replace the air conditioner filter frequently. Check the filter once a month. This is especially important during the summer when dust and allergens circulate. If the filter becomes clogged, your system will have to work harder to supply the same amount of cool air. Check with your provider on the right type of filters to use with your system.
Made in the shade: Air conditioners with proper shading can be more efficient. Air in a shaded space is cooler than the surrounding air, meaning the A/C will have an easier time cooling the air, but keep plants, shrubs, and other landscaping about two to four feet away from your outdoor unit to ensure adequate airflow.
Dial for dollars: Remember that each degree you dial below 78 increases your energy consumption by about 8 percent. If your monthly electric bill is about $100, you'll save $8 a month with each degree you can stand above 78.
Set and go: If it is hard to remember to tweak your thermostat before you leave for work, consider investing in a programmable thermostat or a timer for your window unit.
Time to replace? If your unit is more than 10 years old and you have substantial repair costs, it is probably time to consider a replacing your unit with a new, energy-efficient model. When replacing your A/C, look for a properly sized unit. If you install a unit that is too large, it will cycle on and off, reducing the efficiency of the system.

Landowners Need License To Conduct Hunts
AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department would like to remind landowners that a hunting lease license is required for certain hunting operations. The owner of a hunting lease or the landowner's agent may not receive pay or anything of value from hunters unless the owner or agent has acquired a hunting lease license from the department. This law applies to all hunting leases.
There are three types of lease licenses: (1) hunting lease license; (2) hunting cooperative; and (3) wildlife management association. The license is required to be displayed on the hunting lease property.
The fees for the first type, the hunting lease license, are as follows. This license is for the total amount of property in a county owned by an individual, partnership, firm, or corporation.
- less than 500 acres—$75
- between 500- 1,000 acres—$140
- 1,000 acres or more—$240.
The second type of license listed above, the hunting cooperative lease license, means a cooperative enterprise in which participating landowners pool their acreage and lease it for hunting purposes under the authority of a hunting lease license and in which the leasing profits are distributed to the landowners, according to the landowners' participation.
The fees for that license are as follows:
- Less than 10,000 acres — $60 + $5 per participating landowner
- Between 10,000-50,000 acres— $120 + $5 per participating landowner
- More than 50,000 acres— $240 + $5 per participating landowner.
And the third type listed above is the wildlife management association area hunting lease license. The department may designate two or more contiguous or proximate (a tract of land within one-half mile of another member tract) tracts of land as a wildlife management association area if:
- each owner of the land applies for the designation;
- the land is inhabited by wildlife;
- the department determines that observing wildlife and collecting information about the wildlife will serve the purpose of wildlife management in the state; and
- the landowners agree to provide the department with information regarding the wildlife under Section 81.302 of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Code.
The fees for licensing of this type of area are as follows:
- Less than 10,000 acres—$36 plus $5 per participating landowner;
- Between 10,000 and 50,000 acres—$72 plus $5 per participating landowner;
- More than 50,000 acres—$144 plus $5 per participating landowner.
A hunting lease license is valid for the period from Sept. 1 through Aug. 31.
"A person who violates any provision of the hunting lease license requirements or who fails to comply with any provision of the hunting lease license requirements commits an offense that is a Class C Parks and Wildlife Code misdemeanor, which carries a fine of between $25-$500," said David Sinclair, chief of Wildlife Enforcement at TPWD.
For more information, call (512) 389-4854.

Woman arrested in two recent Walmart robberies
Published: Monday, December 31, 2012 at 2:30 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 31, 2012 at 3:51 p.m.
A woman was arrested Sunday in connection with two recent armed robberies of Gainesville Walmarts.
Regina Mary Rossi, 52, of Pinellas Park, was arrested by Gainesville Police Department detectives without incident, said Officer Ben Tobias, GPD's spokesman. The handgun she used also was recovered.
Rossi is alleged to have robbed the Walmart Supercenter on Waldo Road on Black Friday and the store located at 2649 NW 13th St. on Dec. 26.
During the December robbery, police reported that she put her hand in her purse and told an employee she had a gun in order to get cash from the register. She then gave some of the money back to the clerk.
GPD connected Rossi to the robberies using forensic evidence from both crime scenes, Tobias said.
Rossi has been charged with a first-degree felony charge of robbery with a firearm and is being held at the Alachua County jail in lieu of a $100,000 bond.
GPD's crime analysts are sending out regional bulletins with Rossi's information to see if she could be a suspect in any other unsolved robbery cases, Tobias said. She was staying with her sister in Fort White in Columbia County before she was arrested.

Topic: Need some advice/help
Dear friends,
I am exhausted. I have never been so tired, and I can't sleep. I have been too tired to even check out this site. Is it the Xeloda and Gemzar? I run red lights, can only do one chore a day. 3 questions
1) Has somebody else had this experience with Gemzar and Xeloda?
2) Is there a multivitamin someone can suggest to get me going? The doctor did give me a B12 shot, but it didn't do a whole lot.
3) Does anybody ever say, "Hang it, I want to go somewhere that week so I'm just not going to have my scheduled chemo treatment that week?"
Prayers for you,
Your letters friends - get them in....one page...

A SERVICE which provides opportunities and support for adults with learning disabilities is moving into a new home in Bridgwater.
From June 5, Somerset County Council's Learning Disabilities Day Service for the Sedgemoor area will be based at the Rollercoaster in Bridgwater.
The service, previously based at the Enterprise Resource Centre, offers support to people with a wide range of learning disabilities as well as their parents and carers.
Activities include working with individuals to develop their everyday living skills such as cooking and shopping, helping them maintain and develop friendships, and arranging music, sensory and recreational activities.
A coffee morning will be held on Thursday (June 5) to mark the official opening, with Cllr William Wallace, Somerset County Council's Cabinet member with responsibility for Services to People with Learning Disabilities, joining service users and their parents and carers.
Cllr Wallace said: "Our staff will now be able to focus on people-centred services which offer a much better experience for individuals, as well as continuing to provide essential respite support for parents and carers."
Future plans include the possibility of extending opening times and including weekends.

From the Rangers:
March 24, 2011 – New York Rangers 1, Ottawa Senators 2 SO (Game No. 75, Home No. 38)
• The Rangers were defeated by the Ottawa Senators, 2-1, in a shootout tonight at Madison Square Garden, and are now 40-30-5 overall and 18-16-4 at home. New York has now registered at least one point in a season-high, six consecutive games (5-0-1), and is 7-1-1 in the last nine contests. The Blueshirts have posted a 4-0-1 record in their last five games at MSG.
• The last time New York posted a six-game point streak was from Mar. 24, 2010 vs. the Islanders to April 3, 2010 at Florida (5-0-1).
• Henrik Lundqvist turned aside 29 shots through regulation and overtime, and stopped four of five shootout attempts. He is now 32-24-5 overall, including a 14-13-4 mark at home. In the last nine games, Lundqvist is 7-1-1 with a 1.86 goals against average, a .936 save percentage and two shutouts over the span. He is now one game shy of 400 career NHL appearances.
• Brandon Prust tallied the Rangers' lone goal at 2:45 of the third period, and has now recorded four points (two goals, two assists) in the last six games.
• Marc Staal recorded the primary assist on Prust's third period goal, and logged a team-high, 29:34 of ice time in his return to the lineup after missing the last two games due to injury. The assist was Staal's 20th of the season, establishing a new career-high for assists in a season and tying his career-high with 27 points. He has now registered four assists in his last three games.
• Ruslan Fedotenko registered one assist and was credited with two hits in the contest. Fedotenko also posted a plus-one rating, and is now tied for third on the Rangers with a plus-11 rating on the season.
• Brian Boyle was credited with a game-high, six hits, and he now leads the team with 216 hits on the season. Entering tonight's contest, Boyle ranked 11th in the NHL in hits.
• The Blueshirts' practice schedule for tomorrow, Mar. 25, is 12:00 p.m. at the MSG Training Center.
• The Rangers will return to action when they face-off against the Boston Bruins in an Original Six match-up on Saturday, Mar. 26, at TD Garden (1:00 p.m.), to begin a four-game road trip. The game will be televised live on MSG Network and can be heard on 1050 ESPN Radio and newyorkrangers.com.
John Tortorella on tonight's game… "It is a huge point as long as we understand, and we go back to work tomorrow. And again, this team will respond. They haven't played many bad ones. They haven't played without energy many times this year. Tonight everybody didn't (play with energy) and tonight we steal a point. We take the point, stuff it in your back pocket and move by this and get ready for a team that just spanked Montreal."
Henrik Lundqvist on tonight's game… "We want to win every game now but at the same time some nights it is going to be tough to get the goals you want. It was good we battled back to tie. They worked hard. They still want to end the season on a good note. Same with next week with the Islanders. It is going to be a war."
Ryan Callahan on tonight's game… "These are playoff games. We are battling for our lives right now. Each point means so much. The last couple of games we have approached them like playoff games. Tonight we just didn't have the effort we needed."

SYLLABICATION: chi·na
PRONUNCIATION: chn
NOUN: 1. High-quality porcelain or ceramic ware, originally made in China. 2. Porcelain or earthenware used for the table. (*)
ETYMOLOGY: Persian chn, ultimately from Chinese (Mandarin) Qín, Qin. See Qin.
WORD HISTORY: Our term china for porcelain or ceramic ware is a shortening of chinaware and probably china dishes. Although the word china is identical in spelling to the name of the country, there are 16th- and 17th-century spellings like chiney, cheny, and cheney that reflect the borrowing into English of the Persian term for this porcelain, chn. The Persian word and the Sanskrit word cn, "Chinese people," which gave us the English name for the country, go back to the Chinese word Qín, the name of the dynasty that ruled China from 221 to 206 b.c.

I believe the Farsi word for China, both the country and porcelain, Is pronounced CHEE-nee. We can guess the old Persian language had the same vowels. I know many Farsi speakers and that is what I think I hear them say. If you want to know whether Persian or Farsi is a PIE language, just get a Farsi speaker to count for you and say a few common words. You will think you already know the language. Then, of course, it gets harder. If you want to read Farsi you have to invest in learning their alphabet. I'm too old to do that. During Marco Polo's days, there was debate in Europe whether Cathay and China were the same country. Turns out they were/are.
It is dark at night, but the Sun will come up and then we can see.

Early intervention services meet developmental needs of the child and the needs of the family to support the child's development. Research shows that infants and toddlers learn best through natural routines and everyday learning opportunities that occur in the child's home, community, and childcare settings. Based on the unique needs of the child, the Infant Toddler Program (ITP) links skilled professionals with the family. They work as a team to support the child's learning and development.
A variety of early intervention services and therapies are available through the ITP. The most commonly used services include speech/language, occupational, physical and developmental therapy, and service coordination.
The ITP is made up of teams of specialists who are experts in helping children learn to talk, move, think, eat, and take part in their family's daily activities.
If your child is qualified to receive services, you and your team will develop a plan outlining learning goals and the supports needed to reach them. This plan is called the Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP).
Children learn best when doing things they enjoy. We use that principle to help your family support your child's learning during all the things you do together. One lead service provider will work side-by-side with you. Together you will find ways to help your child practice skills every day in your home, child care center, or in other community places.
If your child is eligible, one or more of these services may be provided through your team:
Source: National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD)
Running Time: (4:32) Release Date: 9/22/2008
Watch the video: Baby Steps
Early recognition of developmental disabilities such as autism is key for parents and providers. CDC realized the impact on families and invested in a campaign to help parents measure their children's progress by monitoring how they play, learn, speak and act.
Content source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
In Idaho, services are provided at low or no cost to families, depending on family income. In addition to family contributions, the program is supported through state and federal funds, Medicaid, and private insurance.
If your child is eligible for early intervention, one or more of these resources will be used to pay for your child's services. No family will be refused services because of an inability to pay.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/11/2013 (1384 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It's been a year, almost to the day, since I had a meal that was prepared and served by the graduating class of Red River College's culinary school. It was in their Prairie Lights dining room, on the Notre Dame Avenue campus -- a blandly beige kind of place with almost nothing about the decor to engage the eye.
Dining at Jane's, RRC's new restaurant in the 110-year-old Union Tower, is like dining in a different century. The spectacular setting is a total opposite of Prairie Lights, reflecting the grandeur of early 20th-century Winnipeg architecture, with a soaring, gilt-accented, white coffered ceiling; massive terra cotta-coloured Corinthian columns, huge windows and marble floors. The old wrought-iron elevator doors are used as dividers, creating intimate areas in the huge room. One of the few 21st-century touches is the ultra-modern open kitchen, which offers a view of the cooks at work.
The current menu will remain in effect until Dec. 12, but it's impossible to award stars or generalize about the food, since the crew that's on duty on one night may not be the same crew on other nights. But everyone on my visit was efficient, attentive and endearingly eager. Prices are relatively moderate, with appetizers from $7 to $9, soups and salads from $6 to $9, main courses from $16 to $23 and desserts $7 each. And, as the RRC showcase restaurants always have over the years, this new one also delivers excellent value.
Dinners start with delicious, house-made focaccia and rolls, still warm from the oven, served with both plain and garlic butter. There are only three appetizers, but one of them was not only the best dish of the entire meal, but one of the best of its kind in the city -- the gorgeous, almost weightless gnocchi in a light lemon basil cream, strewn with wonderfully savoury wild mushrooms and toasted pine nuts.
Crispy pigs trotters were good too -- just the meat (no bones), shredded, breaded and fried; in other words a kind of croquette, served with a slightly piquant ravigote sauce, frisée greens and a few fava beans. I also liked the bison carpaccio, topped by tiny quail eggs, but -- in my opinion -- drizzling it with canola (instead of, say, olive) oil was carrying locavorism too far. A celery root, watercress, radish and apple salad in a mustard seed vinaigrette was a nice alternative starter.
The only main course I didn't try was cannelloni with butternut squash and spinach, but I did sample the remaining four (there are occasional specials as well). The top-priced rib-eye steak was thin but tender, tasty and prepared precisely as rare as requested (a little skimpy with the béarnaise sauce, though), and both the grilled teriyaki-seasoned game hen and the fresh, pan-seared Manitoba trout were also good. The one exception was the bacon-wrapped roasted pork medallions, which would have matched the others in tenderness and taste if it hadn't been so heavily oversalted.
Some garnishes were lovely -- fingerling potatoes and shredded Swiss chard with the steak, or the wild rice pilaf and steamed bok choy and baby carrots with the game hen. Others weren't -- a mushy, and rather unpleasant beet risotto with the pork (better to master the risotto before opting for trendy innovations), and with the trout, incongruous slices of spicy chorizo with potatoes in a romanesco sauce, which masked the trout's delicate flavour.
The four desserts listed (all $7) all sounded luscious, and the two we tried certainly were -- a chocolate brownie with pumpkin maple panna cotta and coconut ice cream, and a chocolate almond cake layered with chocolate mousse and served with cherry sorbet. The remaining two were crème caramel with caramelized pineapple and shortbread, a caramelized white chocolate mousse with passion fruit and raspberry sauces, and a sour cream sorbet.
Jane's lunch prices are slightly lower than those at dinner. Among them, soups ($4.25 to $4.50), salads ($8.50 to $10.50 full, $4.25 to $5.50 for half) and such mains as walleye tacos, chicken curry with cashews, pan-seared trout or game hen,and braised beef cheeks with celeriac and potato puree ($10.50 to $14.25). For dessert, pineapple rum cake, coconut cream on a cookie crust or a trio of Asian creme brulées ($4.25 to $4.75). The wine list is small but well selected, and if you don't finish your bottle you can take it home with you.
Eating at Jane's involves more complicated pre-arrangements than is usual with most commercial restaurants. Reservations are probably essential, with sittings possible from 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. for lunch, and from 6 to 7:30 p.m. for dinner, Tuesday to Friday. An online calendar lists the dates available (www.janesrestaurant.ca), and reservations are made either by phone (204-632-2594) or by email (email@example.com). If by phone, you'll probably have to leave your phone number and, possibly, wait two business days for a call-back. In my own experience, reservations by email have taken less time.

No-one may like Met Police, but boss Jimmy Cooper will care less if they reach the FA Cup first round proper this weekend.
The Blues are among the worst supported clubs in the Ryman Premier League with home support regularly outnumbered by travelling fans.
Cooper's men travel to Combined Counties League Premier Division side South Park in the fourth qualifying round on Saturday, with £12,500 in prize money and a potential tie with League One giants Sheffield United at stake.
The Imber Court manager, a detective sergeant with the Met, knows a win will probably do little to win the hearts and minds of local football followers, but, having never featured in the first round as a player or manager before, he will not be too bothered.
"It is hard for us because we are not associated with a particular area or town, so people really don't know where we are," said Cooper.
"We are realistic enough to know we are not going to get that many people coming down to cheer on a team representing the Metropolitan Police.
"If we get a home draw it is given that the travelling support is likely outnumber our fans, but we are used to that.
"We know what a fantastic opportunity we have got to get to the first round and it would be great for a club like ours to get there.
"We couldn't have hoped for a better draw really. This is a cup final for both teams and we will not take them lightly."
The Blues' home gates have been swelled a little in recent weeks thanks to the form of 19-year-old on-loan Crawley Town striker Jonte Smith, who has scored 13 goals in 10 appearances.
And Cooper is aware retaining his services beyond the end of this month may hinge on his side winning this weekend.
"We've got him until the end of October at least, but if we get to the first round I'm sure Crawley will want him to play, so with any luck he'll stay a bit longer," he added.
"We've had quite a few Blue Square South scouts taking a look at him recently. If he can score that number of goals at this level, teams higher up will want him.
"What will be, will be. It is something we'll have to discuss with Crawley."
Cooper will have a full strength squad – including two policemen – to choose from after watching his men come through a 2-2 draw with East Thurrock United on Saturday unscathed.
Late goals from Smith and Staff Palmer saw them come from 2-0 down to level.
"I think the boys already had their heads on the FA Cup match and we started slowly," said Cooper.
"Some might not be playing this weekend because of that.
"I've been saying all season the league is the important thing, so credit to them for pulling it back."

Additional Information
Wholesale Woodland Camouflage - Army Style Mini ALICE Pack 13 in. x 16 in. x 7 in.
Wholesale ALICE Packs
Military Alice Packs all The All-Purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment, or ALICE system, was adopted as United States Army Standard A on 17 January 1973[1] to replace the M-1956 Load-Carrying Equipment [LCE] and M-1967 Modernized Load-Carrying Equipment [MLCE]. The ALICE system was constructed to withstand all weather conditions, hot weather, cold-wet and cold-dry arctic conditions. We offer both new and used, official government and GI type Alice packs and accessories. The ALICE system remains in United States Army service to date with various components of the system being used in conjunction with the myriad of load-carrying systems in use. Field Pack [medium] - The field pack is made of water repellent, treated nylon duck, webbing, spacer fabric, and metal hardware. The main compartment closes by means of a drawstring secured by a plastic cord clamp. A radio pocket is located against the back on the inside. The size of the pack may be decreased for smaller loads by means of three para-cord ties, stitched to the inside bottom of the pack, and three metal D-rings located directly below the internal radio pocket. Three pockets on the outside, with strap and buckle adjustable closures and with snap fasteners for quick access, are provided for miscellaneous items. The top flap has a pocket with a hook and pile fastener tape sealed closure. Equipment hangers are located above each outside pocket and on each side. Drainage eyelets are provided in the bottom of the main compartment and the outside pockets. An envelope pocket is located at the top, back of the pack and padded with spacer cloth, into which the field pack frame is inserted when the field pack is used on the field pack frame. Buckles and straps at each side near the bottom are used for anchoring the field pack to the field pack frame. Two rectangular wire loops located at the top back of the field pack and D rings on each side at the bottom of the field pack are used to provide shoulder strap attachment when the field pack is carried without the field pack frame. Construction and materials in the large field pack are similar to the medium field pack with the differences being: it is much larger in size; the center outside pocket is larger than the other two main outside pockets; and the addition of three small outside pockets above the larger pockets. The field pack frame is used as a mount for either the medium field pack or the large field pack. The frame, when requisitioned, comes with all straps. The frame is of aluminum construction. Alice packs are stylish backpacks that can be used by anyone for any reason, to carry books, camping gear or clothing. The Alice pack is not only a favorite of military personnel but also for campers, bicyclist, hikers, fisherman, outdoors men, and much much more. ALICE Packs are also known as replica medium LC-1 field wear, government issued NSN 8465-00-001-6480 framed surplus bags, military travel equipment, army rucksacks, 8465-00-001-6481, 8465-001-6479, cheap discounted sale travel accessories, back carriers, hiking gear, etc. ALICE Packs are commonly misspelled as cariers, bagpack, bakpak, etc.

Let me start of by saying that I am so proud that my buttons are bustin'!!!
My 13 year old son did his first ever smoking this weekend. He marinated the hamburger meat the night before, chose the number of coals, lit the fire in a chimney starter, monitored the temps, kept a log, took pictures, and decided when it was done. He did all the work himself and when he asked, I offered advice on "how to tell when". It was definitely the best jerky ever!!! He kept saying how much fun he was having and I know he's enjoying the fruits of his labor. I had fun as well sharing quality time with my boy! There's only one problem…he keeps worrying that his little brother is going to eat it all.
My next photo update will have his pictures posted.

Imam Baqir said: "When the Qaim [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] appears he will place his hand on the head of his servants and thus gather their wits together and lead them to perfection. Allah will strengthen their sight and hearing. So much so that there will be no veil/obstacle between them and the Qaim [Hazrat Mahdi (as)]…"
Following the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (as) there will be a rise in people's sincerity and reason. Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be instrumental in people maturing in terms of moral values and character, as a result of which people will have a greater power to understand and conception of Allah's verses.

The London technology community was dealt a blow on Tuesday when it emerged that Atlas Venture was planning to move its European operations to Boston. All new European investments will be co-ordinated from there, and Fred Destin, the London-based partner who has backed companies like Seatwave and Dailymotion, will be moving across the Atlantic this summer.
Other London-based partners, Christopher Spray, Graham O'Keefe and Regina Hodits will remain in London but only to service existing investments. They will not be involved in bringing new companies in to the portfolio. Which means that, as exits eventually arrive for the likes of Seatwave, these portfolio managers will have less of a role, and Atlas is likely to be slimming down further. Read more

This is day 20 of 31 Days to Build a Better Blog,a group project 60+ of us bloggers are doing together in an effort to help each other become better bloggers.
Leaving comments on other blogs is a practice that many of the 31DBBB participants have already been doing for nearly 20 days. Leaving a comment on another blog in your niche is a great way to get yourself noticed and is probably the best thing since yellow hot-shots.
What is a yellow hot-shot?
A hot-shot is basically an electrical device used in the agricultural industry to make an animal move from one point to another. It delivers a small electrical jolt via two prongs. When used correctly, this little zap can get a cow or other animal, such as a blog, moving in the right direction. But when used too much or used incorrectly, it ends up being counter-productive and just makes things worse.
Commenting on other blogs in your niche is just like using a yellow hot-shot. When used correctly, it can really add value, not only to you, but to your blog also. Using your "comment hot-shot" effectively takes a little more effort than just zappin' everything in sight.
Without copying and pasting all the great information, here are the things that stand out if you want to hot-shot comment effectively.
- Add value to the post you are commenting on. Just because you can comment doesn't mean you should comment. If you don't have anything other than "Great Post!" or something similar, keep your hot-shot in your truck.
- Add questions about the topic. These can be directed right at the author, or to be even more engaging, ask a question that other visitors might try to answer. Blogging is about engaging the reader. The more you can help in the discussion, the more credible you become. Use your hot-shot to keep the conversation going.
- Add a disagreement about the post. Obviously this needs to be done out of love, but there is no better way to get people's attention than to disagree. Be cautious in using this hot-shot method. Your comments are a mini-resume about you.
- Add a link to something you have written that specifically adds value to the post. If a Christian blogger is writing about King David, don't throw in a link about your cousin David's dog and the time you used the hot-shot on him.
There are so many ways to comment ineffectively that I won't list them all here. There are a few no-brainers to avoid such as putting 6-7 links in your comment, one or two word comments, bad grammar and bad spelling, and dominating the conversation.
All in all, commenting effectively can sure get your own blog and your credibility moving in the right direction. When you add value and substance to a conversation, people will start to take notice. By commenting intellectually and effectively, you will have people drop by your own blog to see what else you have to say. Who knows, you might even be asked to write a guest post on a big blog one day.
Discussion questions:
- When you leave a comment on a blog, do you subscribe to the follow up comments so you can stay in the conversation or do you just perform a "drive by comment" and leave?
- Do you try to comment on every blog that you read?
- After reading today's topic, do you think you will comment on other blogs more or less?
- Would you be more apt to comment on a post that you agree with or when you disagree?
The Extra Mile
A few other things you can do to take your blog, other bloggers, and this project even further today…
- Reply & give other bloggers feedback on the little things they do.
- When other bloggers include a link to a new article they've posted today, click, read, and comment on it.
- Check previous posts in the series for new comments.
- Tweet, share, & bookmark this post.
- Please review Janis Van Keuren's blog, Open My Ears, Lord, and give her some feedback.

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Once you get some practice using the Link System to remember lists of items, you can use it to perform an amazing party trick.
Tell everyone that you have a super memory and that you can remember twenty items after they are called out only once. Designate someone as the record keeper to confirm your feat.
Now, you should pick someone to call out an object. Create a visual association between this first object and yourself. This will help you remember the first item.
Now point to someone else and have them call out another object. In your mind, make a link between the two objects. Continue linking each object to the next until you have reached the end. Because you are controlling the pace that items are being called out, you can go as slow as you need to as you create your visual imagery. Naturally, the faster you go, the more impressive the trick will be.
Once you are done, it should be easy for you to recall all twenty items in order. Most people do not realize that anyone can have this type of memory with only a little practice.

Coworking spaces possess a huge potential to support environmental sustainability due to their inherently sharing-oriented constitution. At its foundations, coworking supports the sharing of space, supplies and other resources, thereby cutting down on basic wastefulness. There are other steps that coworking spaces can take in order to run with the concept further, and many do so because the culture surrounding coworking is already very conducive to creative problem solving.
Many coworking spaces already incorporate eco-friendly practices into their spaces in a variety of ways. The steps taken may be large or small, with every effort adding to the whole cause. Deskmag took a look at several examples to see what these spaces have been doing in order to be more green and to better understand the relationship between coworking and environmental sustainability.

1) Embrace the Swarm. As power flows away from the center, the competitive advantage belongs to those who learn how to embrace decentralized points of control.
2) Increasing Returns. As the number of connections between people and things add up, the consequences of those connections multiply out even faster, so that initial successes aren't self-limiting, but self-feeding.
3) Plentitude, Not Scarcity. As manufacturing techniques perfect the art of making copies plentiful, value is carried by abundance, rather than scarcity, inverting traditional business propositions.
4) Follow the Free. As resource scarcity gives way to abundance, generosity begets wealth. Following the free rehearses the inevitable fall of prices, and takes advantage of the only true scarcity: human attention.

Fantastic piece by @jhagel @jseelybrown @tamaraamoylova with help of @duleesha about tribes learnings > must read
"By cultivating talent within their community and building a robust ecosystem of external partners, the tribe has accelerated its ability to learn, adapt, and grow stronger"
"In this world of the Big Shift, learning, rather than efficiency, can be a key to success. Organizations need to learn and evolve as rapidly as the world around them. By creating environments, processes, and structures focused on enabling workers to learn faster, true learning enterprises can accelerate performance improvement.
A learning enterprise engages workers' passions, relaxes control, and embraces experimentation. In so doing, firms may develop resilience, defined by Joshua Cooper Ramo as the ability to learn and get stronger from each unexpected challenge instead of crumbling under pressure from the rapidly changing environment."

Healthy Every Week Challenge: Eat More Fruits and Vegetables Week Round-Upby Michelle Buffardi in Uncategorized, January 31, 2012
We're teaming up with fellow food bloggers and healthy eating advocates to host a Healthy Every Week Challenge, a month-long initiative to develop healthy eating habits. The plan is to develop a manageable healthy habit each week that will carry through the new year. Join us here and share what you're eating on Facebook and Twitter with the hashtag #gethealthy.
Well, our January Healthy Challenge is nearly over, but hopefully the habits formed during the past few weeks will stick around. The goals for each week of January were:
Week 1: Eat Breakfast
Week 2: Eat More Whole Grains
Week 3: Cook at Home
Week 4: Eat More Fruits and Vegetables
Week 5: Stay On Track
But the goal for lifetime healthy eating is to eat breakfast, choose whole grains, cook more at home and eat more fruits and vegetables every day of every week. Did the simple weekly breakdown help you create new healthy habits? We hope so. And from the feedback we've received from our participants, it seems that many have seen great success and will continue to think carefully about what they eat, and make the healthful choice most of the time.
Last week's goal, Eat More Fruits and Vegetables, was challenging for some; as we discovered when we asked fans on Facebook and Twitter that there are quite a few hated vegetables. But before you swear off broccoli, Brussels sprouts and eggplant, try cooking them in a new way. You might be surprised how much better they taste when prepared right. To help you with the last goal of the month (but a big goal for the rest of the year), check out the fruit and vegetable recipes our participants shared, after the jump. And for the Roasted Vegetable Pie recipe pictured at the top, visit The Undercover Cook's blog for the recipe.

THE much-criticised Illuminating York festival cost the city's taxpayers £26,000, new figures show.
A financial breakdown of the four-day autumn event, which included a Museum Gardens "Wonderland" created by comedian Vic Reeves, has revealed it would have lost money were it not for City of York Council funding.
Figures obtained through the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act show the authority contributed £26,000, on top of a £59,684 Arts Council England grant, while ticket sales raised £55,814 and food sales £700.
This meant income of £142,198 and a profit of £16,442 after costs, which included £91,000 to the artistic organisers, £23,456 for operational matters and £11,300 for public relations and marketing.
There were complaints about the previously-free event's £5 admission charge, while Reeves' artworks, projected onto the Yorkshire Museum, drew a wave of negative comments.
Council officials defended the show as "amazing" and said it would not have been possible without charging for tickets, but said they would take feedback into account for 2013's event.
In an FOI response to The Press, the council said the £91,000 payment for the artistic programme was to Bright White Limited as the "lead partner" for the artists involved and including equipment hire, artworks and security.
The council said it did not hold information on how much Reeves or individual artists were paid.
Former council leader Steve Galloway, who also submitted an FOI request on the costs and funding, said: "The 'Wonderland' disappointment, along with that of the Gunpowder Plod fireworks event at Knavesmire, is symptomatic of a council which seems to increasingly act on impulse, and the result is a deteriorating financial position."
The Liberal Democrats' leisure and culture spokesman, Coun Nigel Ayre, claimed enlisting Reeves and increasing artists' fees had forced the introduction of admission charges.
He said: "This got the ruling Labour group some good headlines leading up to the event, but overall the show was considered a let-down by the public."
Gill Cooper, the city council's head of culture, tourism and the city-centre, said its £26,000 contribution was budgeted for and ticket income beat the £40,000 break-even target, while savings were made. She said 18,000 people bought tickets and the event had "80 per cent capacity in the first two days and 100 per cent subsequently."
Coun Sonja Crisp, cabinet member for leisure, culture and tourism, said: "We are seeking to vary the experience enjoyed by the public each year, while limiting the cost to the council.
