Prospectus Notebook
White Sox, Marlins
"Survivor" begat countless reality survival shows where contestants get voted out of the boardroom, off the isthmus, out of the house, or off the team. One reality show about a tattoo parlor turned into three. One online pet supply store quickly became a dozen (and just as quickly became zero). Though it's a young company, Netflix has seen its business model adopted by many different industries.
Most success stories spawn imitators, and baseball is no different. Mere hours after the White Sox hoisted the World Series trophy, newspapers across the country began speculating on how the White Sox' "pitching and defense" style of play would be emulated by other GMs this offseason, anticipating dueling teams who fight over the likes of Royce Clayton solely because of his Furious D.
"OzzieBall" or "Smartball" became words before they had definitions, and after a season's worth of scrutiny, we now know Smartball means "terrific starting pitching, terrific bullpen, three-run home run." Even the Astros were presented as a data point in the return of a gritty, more aesthetically pleasing, THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY THE GAME RIGHT brand of smallball. If we had to define "AstroBall" or something, we'd probably say "dominant starting pitching concentrated in the top three, dominant late-game bullpen, two-man offense." But what's overlooked is that the two teams who played in the World Series don't have a new model for team building so much as they have a good to great core of talent that they managed to keep healthy.
Intrepid intern Mike Groopman has been tracking DL information for BP all season long, and now that the season is over, we can get a final health report for each team. We'll take a quick look at two versions of the White Sox below. The first chart includes information that includes slugger Frank Thomas, while the second omits him from the team totals--as unbelievable and as tragic as it may seem given his history and stature in that organization, he didn't factor into the championship season that heavily.
White Sox (W Thomas) -------------------- Days Lost to DL: 374 (27th in MLB) Dollars Lost to DL: $8,642,191.36 (15th in MLB) % Payroll Lost to DL: 11.49% (20th in MLB) White Sox (W/O Thomas) ---------------------- Days Lost to DL: 233 Dollars Lost to DL: $1,679,228.40 % Payroll Lost to DL: 2.23%Something to keep in mind with the "no-Thomas" data is that it involves quite a bit of Ross Gload, who really wasn't the player he was in 2004, and wouldn't have displaced anybody on the roster. He was out for a considerable chunk of 2005, and wasn't missed; throwing him out of the second chart just hammers home the fact that Chicago did a fantastic job of keeping its best options on the field.
Overall, this is a team that ranked 27th in days lost to the DL (and in this case, being ranked so close to the bottom is a good thing).
So it seems that part of the White Sox' success that needs to be emulated by potential copycats is the capacity to remain healthy, which is always a goal, regardless of the "-ism" fueling the roster construction.
Don't misinterpret what's being presented here. This isn't a dig at a team that "shouldn't have won," or some such thing. The White Sox (and Ken Williams) built a winner, and no amount of Pythagorean reshuffling will take that away. But one of the most overlooked strengths of this team was their health, particularly in the rotation, where they were able to go wire-to-wire with their horses. It was a big step down after that, and that they didn't have to go any deeper than Brandon McCarthy in their rotation depth is a huge factor in why they were as strong as they were.
Nor is this a message of "yeah, but if they had six or seven injuries, they wouldn't have won," which, while it may be true in some alternate universe, isn't true in this one.
Tip your cap to Herm Schneider, Brian Ball, Allen Thomas and the rest of the training and medical staffs, who haven't gotten much press, but who performed absolutely crucial roles for the championship team. Compared to the rest of the league, the White Sox did an amazing job of protecting the investments they made. That's Smartball.
Mike Groopman contributed research to this article.
Thirteen Marlins players might be leaving south Florida as free agents this winter. The group includes two fifths of the starting rotation, three eighths of the starting lineup, most of the bullpen, and two key utility players.
Free agent Pos PA IP 2005 WARP 2005 Salary Juan Encarnacion RF 563 -- 3.6 $4,435,000 A.J. Burnett SP -- 209 5.2 3,650,000 Alex Gonzalez SS 478 -- 2.3 3,400,000 Jeff Conine LF 384 -- 2.9 3,000,000 Ismael Valdez SP -- 50.1 0.5 1,500,000 Todd Jones RP -- 73 6.5 1,100,000 Jim Mecir RP -- 43.1 1.8 1,100,000 Damian Easley 2B 304 -- 2.2 750,000 Lenny Harris PH 79 -- 0.5 425,000 Brian Moehler SP -- 158.1 3.4 400,000 Antonio Alfonseca* RP -- 27.1 0.6 300,000 Paul Quantrill** RP -- 5.1 -0.4 300,000 Mike Mordecai 2B 2 -- 0.0 300,000 -------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL 1810 566.2 27.3 20,660,000 * Team holds 2006 option ** Numbers for Marlins onlyOverall, the gang was a nice bargain, driven by career years from Juan Encarnacion and Todd Jones, and big contributions from role players like Jeff Conine, Damion Easley and Brian Moehler. A.J. Burnett will be the most difficult to replace, and ironically, he's the one player who is undoubtedly not coming back, leaving on the sourest of notes.
Making up for so much inexpensive talent will be difficult, but the Marlins seem to be in a better position than most teams would be. Their farm system has provided an embarrassment of riches over the years--Miguel Cabrera, Luis Castillo, Edgar Renteria, Mark Kotsay, Charles Johnson, Kevin Millar, Josh Beckett, Dontrelle Willis, Burnett, Livan Hernandez, Brad Penny, Ryan Dempster--and it appears another crop is ripe.
Jason Vargas is etched in to the 2006 rotation, but Joshua Johnson and Scott Olsen are next in line to step in behind Willis and Beckett. The Marlins also drafted five pitchers within the top 44 picks of the June Amateur Draft.
Announcers and analysts often say things like, "He makes everyone else in that lineup better," a statement that's almost always either outright false or solid evidence of a mancrush. But for top outfield prospect Jeremy Hermida, it's almost true. Hermida debuted August 31 with a first-pitch grand slam, and Cabrera started 21 of his last 22 games at third base instead of left field. Granted, Mike Lowell's bat-gone-AWOL also led to Cabrera being summoned for infield duty--maybe the mounting pressure of slipping in the Wild Card chase finally wore out the Marlins' loyalty to Lowell--but the Marlins are still weighing their options for a permanent shift of Cabrera to the hot corner. Hermida doesn't make everyone in the lineup better, but Cabrera is slightly more valuable at third base than left field, where offense is a little easier to find. They're expected to re-sign Conine, which seems minor, but doing so could potentially signal many different scenarios:
If the Marlins expect a 40-year-old Conine to repeat his .304/.374/.403 performance as a starter, they're at best optimistic, at worst crazy. Ideally, they'll use him more sparingly, maybe even in platoon with Hermida. With Conine (if he re-signs), Cabrera, and catchers Josh Willingham and Paul Lo Duca (who both have some experience at other positions), the Marlins have no shortage of versatile players. That can only help new manager Joe Girardi next year, and can only help as GM Larry Beinfest works the phones this winter to replace half his roster.

Welcome to My Escort Luxembourg Site
My name is Rebecca and I'm an independent Luxembourg escort. I genuinely love escorting and enjoy meeting and getting to know classy gentlemen. I have high standards for the people I meet and places where I meet. With the right person I'm very open-minded, playful and curious. Passionate for life and extremely feminine. I'm well-educated and well traveled so you'll get more than just a beautiful escort Luxembourg :) Sometimes happens that with some special clients we develop a friendship, go for holidays or weekend breaks together. So if you are interested in long-term friendship with benefits, I'm open for it (of course if we have a good chemistry).
For an escort Luxembourg like me good conversation is important – seducing ALWAYS starts in our heads. So I'd be the right choice for people, who are keen to talk and flirt first. Please DO NOT contact me if your only question is "What services do you provide?" as it shows that I'm definitely not your type of an escort.
I am an Elite Luxembourg Escort
If you would like me to wear something specific – feel free to choose it and dress me up ;) my size is SMALL or EU36.
As a person I'm extremely warm and friendly. I love life and I'm trying to create beauty and joy around me by sharing positive energy with others. I've been told that I'm charming and sexy, my personality is natural and fun to be around something not all Luxembourg escorts can offer you. I like to laugh, relax and enjoy the best things life has to offer. It's way too short to take it too seriously!
Ideally I would like to have a small circle of gentlemen whom I would meet regularly, so will do my best to make you want to see me again and again :)
To stay discreet is better for both of us so I will not show my face in the photos. Moreover I always dress up in a classy and elegant way, use just a little bit of makeup, so I can assure no one will suspect that you are spending time with an escort Luxembourg. I can guarantee an absolute privacy and expect the same in return.
A little bit more about me – I'm 23 years old woman with a feminine body and personality. I enjoy my femininity, I love men and their attention. I like to be spoiled and looked after. I follow a healthy life-style with healthy diet and lots of sport, particularly dancing, jogging and swimming. My body is all natural – no tattoos, no plastic surgery, no piercings ( just a sexy navel ring which you are able to see in the photos ).
In my free time I like to have a relaxing day at SPA, massages and gym. I like arts as well, mainly musicals, sometimes Opera and Ballet, galleries, exhibitions, museums… I love good food and enjoying fine restaurants, my favorite cuisine is French. I have a passion for good books too – love reading and educating myself. And, of course, like a real woman, I love SHOPPING. If you would enjoy one of the above with me – your escort Luxembourg sounds like something you would treasure, we can make it happen!
Escorts Love to Travel!
One of my hobbies is travelling. I visited 20 countries in Europe and my favourites so far are Luxembourg, Monaco and France. First place on my " TO VISIT" list belongs to Maldives so feel free to invite me on holiday there :)
An escort Luxembourg like me love to spend time with a gentleman who is both selective and sophisticated. I'm eager to meet a successful, executive man with a sense of humor, who knows how to treat a woman. I expect to be respected, gentlemanly behavior is appreciated and generously rewarded ;)
Why Me?
1. There are plenty of Luxembourg Escorts who use fake photos. MY PHOTOS ARE REAL. You will see exactly the same young woman in reality. If you'll not like me, you are welcome to ask me to leave (Never happened before though). In that case only taxi fare should be covered.
2. Escorting is the lifestyle I chose because I like it and I'm good at it. I'm an independent so there will be no other people involved between us.
3. I focus on quality instead of quantity so to make you feel happy is my primary purpose :)
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Yours, Rebecca

L'Arche Assistants
L'Arche assistants come from every age bracket and every walk of life, however each community attracts assistants that fit with its individual charisma. Here at L'Arche Cape Breton, many of our assistants are young - between 18-35 - and come to us during or after their post-secondary education. They are enthusiastic, open-minded individuals who have found something lacking in the academic world and are seeking a way to integrate their classroom learning with 'real life'. Assistants are attracted by the spirited atmosphere of our community, and the intensity of life with men and women with intellectual disabilities.
Applicants to L'Arche Cape Breton need not have previous experience or training. Any and all training you need is provided during your first three months in the community.
See Also:
Application Process
Daily Routine
An assistant's day at L'Arche Cape Breton usually begins at 7:00am. You will help people get up, get breakfast, and get ready for work, which begins at 9:00am. All the core members at L'Arche Cape Breton work Monday to Friday, 9:00am - 3:30pm. During this work day, you will be busy with regular household chores (cooking, cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, etc.) or helping out in one of our work programs. You will welcome people home from work at the end of the day, and participate in whatever the routine of your house is at that time (helping to cook supper, going for a walk with someone, relaxing and talking together about the day).
After supper, there are dishes to do, then it's off to whatever community event is planned for that evening. Each evening event is different - common worship, community meetings, barbecues and swimming in the summer, soccer on the lawn, singsongs.
After the evening event, things begin to settle down, and you help people get ready for bed as they need. Houses are usually quiet and the day's work done by 9:30pm.
Personal Time & Vacations
Assistants at L'Arche Cape Breton live in the homes of the community. You share your living space with the others in your house - anywhere from three to ten other people. You spend most of your time in relationship with others.
Of course, assistants are entitled to personal time and time away. Each day assistants receive a couple of hours of personal time. This time can be used to sleep, pray, exercise, socialize or do whatever you choose. Assistants also have eight days off each month, including single days and weekend breaks. During days and weekends away, assistants may leave the community to do what they wish.
The community does have a small hermitage, and a house of welcome and retreat for assistants to use on their time away. Also, friends of the community offer their homes for assistants to use during time away.
Assistants receive vacation time after they have been with L'Arche for six months, and the vacation time amounts increase the longer people stay with the community. Also, after your first year, you are entitled to one week of retreat sponsored by the community.
Stipends & Benefits
L'Arche Cape Breton was founded on a vision of simplicity and solidarity with the poor and marginalized peoples of the world. Our vision of community is one of not only living together, but of sharing our resources in common for the greatest good of all the members of the community. This affects our model of stipends and benefits.
Medical benefits for L'Arche assistants begin after one year in the community. Assistants are expected to carry their own personal medical insurance, or cover their own expenses, during their first year. After one year, assistants join the community's medical plan which helps cover medical, dental, vision, and prescription medication expenses.
Assistants may also apply to receive financial support from the community for personal development projects such as academic courses, music lessons, etc.
Assistants may have the use of a community vehicle for days away during their stay at L'Arche Cape Breton.
Assistants are remunerated with a modest monthly stipend, based on their training and their length of time with L'Arche. They pay a small room and board charge each month.

Friends are always welcome.
I also do some photography. If you're interested, I can send you a link to some of my stuff. I like to think I have some skill.
I'm also great at knowing the words to songs, but unfortunately, am rendered completely unable to sing them due to some pitch issues. Not that that always stops me, but you won't find me on the microphone at karaoke.
I'm also really good at coming up with sarcastic commentary.
I've also been told I have a great smile. And some random woman walking down Tremont St in Boston was very impressed with my legs. So I guess it's really hard to say.
For Books:
Now that I'm done with my dissertation, I can read for fun again. Lots of things already waiting. Strangely, a lot of those are similar to the dissertation books I just finished. Very excited about some books on privacy and judicial behavior. But I've also got some great fiction lined up. I hear this "Game of Thrones" thing is good. I may read that.
Past favorites include, anything by Dorothy Parker; The Count of Monte Cristo; The Three Musketeers; Les Liaisons Dangereuse; House of Mirth; Me Talk Pretty One Day; Love! Valour! Compassion!; Ender's Game; Eats, Shoots & Leaves; Bastard Out of Carolina; Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy; Rome & Juliet; Hamlet; Lord of the Rings; Wheel of Time. I'm sure there are others. I'm addicted to books, but picking favorites is hard.
For Music:
My roommate often reminds me that my iPod is like a really good retro night. Well, he says retro night. I assume he means a really good one.
But, seriously, some highlights include Cyndi Lauper, Debbie Gibson, ABBA, Madonna, The Carpenters, Nickel Creek, Sarah McLachlan, Tori Amos, Patty Griffin, Bernadette Peters, Erasure, Gregory Douglass, Brian W. Spencer, Indigo Girls, Stephen Sondheim, other musical theater, and other cheesy pop music.
I do like some current stuff, too. I've been enjoying the iTunes Radio feature a lot lately. But don't ask me what they're playing. It's good, but I don't always know what it is.
I rarely go to the movies. I don't know why. I love movies. I should go more often. I especially like the Kendall Square Cinema and the movies they tend to show. I've yet to see something bad there.
Some movies I have seen that I loved are: Up, Love Me If You Dare, l'Auberge Espangole, Star Wars IV-VI, Labyrinth, House of Yes, When Harry Met Sally, The Princess Bride, Steel Magnolias, Pretty in Pink, Breakfast Club, Muriel's Wedding, Noises Off!, Saved, Neverending Story, Clue.
I'm not a huge TV viewer, either. At least I tell myself that. But I do usually have it on for background noise while I'm doing other things. When that's the case, there's a good chance it's Law & Order, in some incarnation. Probably the original or SVU. Rarely CI. If I had BBC-America, I'd watch the UK Version. Constantly. I love the wigs.
Now that "How I Met Your Mother" is over I don't know what to watch. I still have a season left on Downton Abbey. I suppose I could watch that. I've also been watching some web based shows.
For Food:
Chocolate. Anything that I've cooked (I collect cookbooks). Good pizza. 'Bad' Chinese food. Assorted fine teas. Peanut butter. Cheese (but not blue cheese). Pasta.
2. Music
3. Tea
4. Camera
5. Notebooks/writing implements
6. Theater
But yeah... message me if you want. I'm not one to tell people what to do with their lives.

Durham Businessman Sentenced On State Tax Charges
Date: August 21, 2007
RALEIGH – A former Durham businessman was sentenced Wednesday in Wake County Superior Court on tax charges filed by the North Carolina Department of Revenue.
Thomas H. Pittard, 44, of 505 Spring St., Oxford was sentenced on Aug. 22, 2007 on two counts of attempting to evade or defeat state and county sales taxes. Pittard pleaded guilty to the charges on Sept. 6, 2006 and his sentencing was delayed until today.
Wake County Superior Court Judge Howard E. Manning, Jr. sentenced Pittard to a four-month minimum, five-month maximum prison term. The sentence was suspended and Pittard was placed on probation for one year. He was also ordered to perform 275 hours of community service within the next 12 months. Before his sentencing, Pittard paid $241,307.08 in restitution to the North Carolina Department of Revenue for sales, withholding and corporate and franchise taxes.
The state's evidence showed that Pittard, president and responsible corporate officer of Central Carolina Builders Corporation in Durham, misapplied $78,795.62 in North Carolina state sales tax and $43,731.66 in Durham County sales tax from Oct. 1, 2003 through May 22, 2006.
The charges against Pittard resulted from an investigation by the Department's Durham Examination Office and a special agent with the Department's Criminal Investigations Division in Raleigh.

Anstey fumes as Tigers lose coolRoy Ward
Published: November 19 2012 - 3:00AM
IF TEAMS can keep their collective head they become a winning combination. Melbourne Tigers weren't that team on Sunday.
The Tigers fell behind by 10 points midway through the third quarter against the Sydney Kings and dug themselves into an even greater hole when guard Chris Goulding's elbow went near Kings player Aaron Bruce's face - a move which Bruce followed with a dramatic fall to the Hisense Arena floor.
The ensuing boilover led to Goulding getting an unsportsmanlike foul, while star Tiger Seth Scott was ejected from the game for taking a swing at Ben Madgen.
From the following free-throws the Kings took their lead to 14 points, and while the Tigers linked arms it was too late to circle the wagons as the Kings went on to a 72-67 win.
While Madgen will attract attention for his role in Scott's ejection, his scoring proved the decisive factor, with the Kings guard notching a game-high 26 points.
Tigers import Jonny Flynn also struggled with the Kings defence in the second half, adding just seven points to finish with 17.
Tigers coach Chris Anstey guarded his post-game words as closely as the Kings guarded Flynn, saying he had been told by seven different people not to criticise the referees. He called Scott's actions "undisciplined" and said he and his coaches had reviewed the footage of the incident but were "not allowed to have an opinion".
"Sometimes the toughest thing to do is to walk away, it's as simple as that," Anstey said. "Moments in time win and lose games, as it stands we were without our leading scorer and rebounder for the greater part of the second half and that hurts us."
Kings coach Shane Heal said the defence of Bruce, Madgen and others was important for his side.
"We challenged him [Flynn], just as importantly he had five turnovers," Heal said. "When we get the ball out of his hands they don't have too many other ball-handlers, we couldn't take full advantage of it in the last quarter because we dried up [offensively], but when you are playing good defence it gives you a chance to win games."
Anstey said he was surprised how poorly his side reacted to the Kings' challenge.
"We continued to come back after we settled down and I thought we were OK, but you just can't dig yourself a hole that big in a game of basketball," he said.
"I certainly didn't expect that from the group, I thought we had taken a few more steps than that but we are now a 2-5 [win-loss] basketball team and we have got to get a lot better, and that is not just skill-wise, it's decision-making."
Tigers forward Adam Ballinger said the team must improve.
"Offensively we were running too much one-on-one stuff. It's hard because we have a couple of players who can do that,'' he said.
"But if guys aren't scoring you can roll into bad habits and we got into bad habits in the fourth quarter."

Even though the leaves on the trees have yet to change on campus, the mornings are crisp and the evenings chilly. Students are slowly changing their wardrobe by bringing out sweaters, scarves and a personal favorite of mine – leather. This Fashionista was wearing all three of these fall essentials. I remember first seeing leather leggings paired with a chunky scarf on the Olsen twins at a Chanel show back in 2008 and the trend has been around ever since.
Name: Stephanie Espinosa
Year: Junior
Major: International Business and Marketing
CollegeFashionista: What are you wearing today?
Stephanie Espinosa: What I am wearing today is leather leggings, a white boyfriend T-shirt and a black cardigan all from Forever 21. I'm kind of obsessed with that store! I also am wearing a peach loop scarf from Express and gladiator shoes from Charlotte Russe.
CF: What influences your style?
SE: Classy, bold colors and sophisticated looks inspire my style and I like to mix it up with a little bit of bohemian. I like to dress on how I am feeling that day.
CF: What trends are you excited about for the upcoming season?
SE: I'm excited for knee-high boots and combat boots for the upcoming fall and winter season. I am in love with both of them!
How To: Leather has always been a huge trend for fall and winter. It seems that the leather legging/pant is finally coming into the main stream and is gaining acceptance by many more people then they were four years ago. Places like BCBG and Topshop are hotspots for leather pants and leggings.

Reports suggest that Allu Arjun got his levels of confidence on Puri Jagannath a bit low and he has earlier altered many scenes shot by the director. And now, the actor has reportedly interfered with editing works. Bunny is said to have got started the editing even before completion of shoot. Since the film is being shot completely in a digital format, the editing has already started in parallel.
The film Iddarammayilatho, which was officially launched on October 18, 2012, at Ramanaidu Studios in Hyderabad, started its regular shooting in Australia from the first week of November. The movie is currently under production in Bangkok. The makers of the movie are getting ready for summer release.
However, Puri Jagannath and Allu Arjun have teamed up for the second time after their successful venture Desamuduru. Actresses Amala Paul and Catherine Tresa are playing female leads alongside Bunny in the film, which has the music of Devi Sri Prasad, who had earlier scored music for Bunny's Julayi.

The last I heard, Mirago does something like 25 million searches per month or more, including all of their affiliates. It may be many more than that by now.
Would agree that a US player would be interested in them, and Ask Jeeves have announced plans for Euro expansion, so they would be a good partner.
Mirago, are part of Johnson Press who are regional newspaper publishers, I don't know if Johnson own them 100% but if they don't you could see them being majority owned by Johnson or indeed, being acquired by another major regional newspaper publishing group.
If they were for sale, I suspect a regional publisher in the UK would be the likely buyer.
If they could keep a fresher index it would help - but why bother at all when there is PPC. What's the incentive? Not a lot IMHO.
With good partners you'll see that one take off nicely.
I would have thought that AJ would be most likely, however, I'd like to think that it might come from an unlikely source, if it were to come at all.
What they need IMHO is an injection of capital (maybe from an venture capital firm) so that they can compete with Overture and Espotting. Heavens knows the UK market needs it and could easily stand it.
I happen to know that there is a venture capitalist firm on the lookout for just such a proposition, so maybe rather than they sell to a rival, they get cash-injected and beat a rival to death!
don't know what you lot have been smoking,
I have over 2 years solid experience with Mirago, and have found them to be clear leaders in the UK marketplace when compared to the other solutions available. Although some issues have occurred, it has been refreshing to deal with a truly UK / Euro based company as opposed to those who have a heavy US slant or outsoure large parts of their operations to countries with little understanding of the UK and fast emerging Euro markets.
Although I have not advertised with them, coming from the position of a strategic partner with a large number of referrals beneath me, the business developement team have always been spot on and gone the extra mile for me.
If anyone from Mirago is out there, keep up the good work and don't whatever you do partner up with a company that will devalue the service I receive.

We've been watching these comments about the 'acquisition of Mirago' with some enjoyment. Although I'm not personally privy to every last detail of what goes on here, I am generally well informed on the major issues.
The origins of the comments about Mirago being purchased are somewhat of a mystery to me. Of course, we're flattered to be considered an attractive proposition. Beyond that, it's not my place to comment.
As for number of searches per month and so on commented above, I can only say that the information is rather out of date. This year we have substantially enhanced our business development team; the number of advertisers, partners and traffic levels bear witness to this.
Technologically you may have seen recent press releases which introduced new features such as source exclusion and dayparting. Our aim is to differentiate ourselves by leading the way with new technologies and listening to the comments of those who use our services.
I still find it amazing that features such as source exclusion (the ability for an advertiser to opt-out of traffic from selected partners) are not more widely available. From my conversations with advertisers at conferences such as the PubConference and Search Engine Strategies, these features are just what's wanted. In spite of this I still hear other engines going on the record to say that they'll not be supporting such capabilities. Amazing!
As for the future, I can only say watch out in the New Year for a series of new services and features. Those of you in Chicago last week will have heard of many issues surrounding the offerings of others. We intend to provide services which address the shortfalls.
As for new organic indexes, these should be published later this week. Size-wise... Rather larger than before.
At this point, all that remains is for me on behalf of Mirago to wish one and all a very Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year.
We've been a traffic partner with both mirago and espotting on various UK sites. Whilst both have served us well in different situations the one big problem from a publishers point of view is the lack of breadth in advertisers and keywords. Although they have decent competition and revenue on popular, high paid words (e.g. the financial sector) outside that the amount of bids is very low which obviously affects publishers revenue. For seemingly reasonable or popular searches the only people bidding seem to be ebay with those awful "Buy random widget on Ebay" ads.
This of course may be an attraction to an advertiser who might be able to pick up some cheap traffic, but unless the amount of advertisers increases I can't see many publisher want to use them ahead of espotting or overture. That said they have always been more than helpful with any queries and retain a more personal feel than some of the larger ppc companies.
I wouldn't want to see them bought out by a larger competitor as with more traffic and advertisers they could certainly be good competition in the UK and European market. I like the new features that they are working on, but surely the most important thing is to be able to drive decent levels of traffic?

Donations keep Westmoreland program aiding veterans rolling
A program that provides veterans with free rides to medical appointments will continue next year with no cutbacks.
Matt Zamosky, director of the Westmoreland County Veterans Affairs office, said a passenger van will be purchased with a private grant received this month.
"We've been helping more than 40 veterans a week, and that's a lot of veterans," Zamosky said. "To do this at minimal cost is amazing."
The county's 36,000 veterans are eligible for the Disabled American Veterans Department of Pennsylvania program, which provides transportation to medical appointments in Pittsburgh. The only requirement is that veterans be able to walk.
There are two 10-passenger vans that service the county, one based in the Greensburg area and a second that predominately operates in the New Kensington area.
Rides are available five days a week and are scheduled through the county veterans office. Volunteers drive the vans.
A year ago, the program was struggling for survival because of a shortage of drivers. Zamosky said five drivers are licensed for the program and four more are seeking approval from the Department of Veterans Affairs to become drivers.
"We're actually better off than we were," Zamosky said.
Two new vans have helped the program to flourish.
Earlier this year, an Export couple, Bernard and Pat Forcier, donated a van for the program. The Forciers could not be reached for comment.
Last week, county commissioners accepted a $15,000 grant from the PNC Charitable Trust, money Zamosky said was donated by a Murrysville couple, to purchase a second van.
The new vans won't broaden the scope of the program at this time, Zamosky said. Rather, they are replacements for older vehicles that have become too old to use.
Once more drivers are approved for the program, it could be expanded, Zamosky said.
"There are a lot of older people who can't drive or don't feel comfortable driving in Pittsburgh, and that's where our vans go," he said. "The need is there."

Liberty Media gets FCC approval for control of DirecTV
Yesterday, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted in favor of allowing Liberty Media to acquire News Corp's controlling stake in DirecTV.
While saying that allowing the deal to go forward was in the best interest of the public, the FCC also stipulated that Liberty Media and DirecTV abide by program access and other requirements that it had previously imposed on News Corp. in order to preserve competition.
The FCC did require that business relationships between Liberty Global's Liberty Cablevision of Puerto Rico and DirecTV come to an end within a year. Liberty Global is a spin-off from Liberty Media.
As part of its authorization of the deal, the FCC did not require that DirecTV add local, over-the-air broadcast stations in a timely fashion in all 210 of its metropolitan markets, despite broadcast TV groups requesting that it do so.
Liberty Media, founded by cable pioneer John Malone, made a deal in December 2006 to trade its 16.3 percent ownership of stock in Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. in return for News Corp.'s 38.5 percent stake in DirecTV (story here). The deal calls for the swap of shares between the two companies, in addition to $550 million in cash and three regional sports networks from News Corp. to Liberty Media.
DirecTV is the nation's largest satellite provider with about 16 million subscribers, and the deal gives Malone his first domestic presence since the sell off of TCI to AT&T in 1999.

Rosemount police are asking the owners of pet dogs to be alert to safety risks following recent dog bite reports in the community.
Police have investigated three cases in the last two weeks of dogs that bit residents. In two cases, unleashed dogs injured people and another dog on public and private property. In the other case, a dog on private property was inadequately supervised and bit a person.
"Fortunately, none of the victims of these bites was seriously hurt," said Rosemount police Chief Eric Werner. "But the attacks easily could have been worse, with serious consequences for the victim, the animal, and the pet owner."
Rosemount's animal ordinance requires dogs on public property to be under restraint, like a leash, at all times. The leash, including retractable leashes, can reach no more than 6 feet.
On private property including the owner's yard or vehicle, dogs must be able to respond to the voice commands or signals of a competent person who is present.
Rosemount's ordinance reflects the need to balance the benefits and risks of dog ownership.
According to an American Veterinary Medical Association task force, nationally, 53 million dogs live with their owners, providing valuable companionship and services. But each year, 4.5 million people are bitten by dogs, and about 800,000 require treatment. On an average day, dog bites send more than 1,000 people to the emergency room.
To lessen the risk of rabies, Rosemount requires licensing of dogs at a cost of $12 a year, with discounts for spayed or neutered animals and for owners older than 55. Licensing requires proof of rabies vaccination.
"Rosemount residents are instructed to call 9-1-1 if they have any problem with dogs or other animals," Werner said. "Our pets contribute to the quality of life in Rosemount. We need pet owners to think about the safety of others as they enjoy their companionship with animals."

WHILE much of the scrutiny surrounding interest rate manipulation has centred on Barclays, regulators have said that traders at the big British bank colluded with rivals to influence a key benchmark.
As part of a three-year scheme, a senior Barclays trader in Europe worked with counterparts at Credit Agricole, HSBC, Deutsche Bank and Societe Generale, according to people with knowledge of the matter who could not speak publicly because of the investigation. Regulators are examining whether at least one other bank was involved, one of the people said.
In an effort to bolster their profits, the traders collaborated to push interest rates up or down, according to regulatory documents. By doing so, they aimed to eke out extra gains on their trades or limit losses. In its complaint against Barclays, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission described the bank's trader as having ''orchestrated an effort to align trading strategies among traders at multiple banks'' in order to profit on their portfolios.
In June, Barclays paid $450 million to settle its case with the commission, the Justice Department and Financial Services Authority of Britain. British and US authorities accused the bank of submitting false rates from 2005 through 2009. Regulators continue to investigate the rest of the players involved in the scheme, according to one of the people.
As the rate-manipulation scandal spreads to other banks, the fallout could have major ramifications for the financial industry. Civil and criminal authorities around the world are investigating. The civil and criminal actions, as well as private lawsuits, could cost the banks tens of billions of dollars.
The Barclays case centres on key benchmarks, including the London interbank offered rate, or Libor, and the Euro interbank offer rate, or Euribor. Such rates are used to determine the borrowing costs for consumers and corporations.
The Barclays case was the first to emerge from the multi-year investigation, which has also touched some of the biggest banks on Wall Street.
The US Congress is also delving into the matter, as lawmakers question why the rates-setting process was not better policed.

WUKAN, China (Reuters) - One of China's most celebrated experiments in grass-roots democracy showed signs of faltering on Friday, as frustrations with elected officials in the southern fishing village of Wukan threatened to boil over into protests.
Only a year ago, Wukan became a beacon of rights activism after land disputes there sparked unrest and led to the sacking of local Communist Party officials. That in turn led to village-wide elections for a more representative local governing committee to help resolve the bitter rows.
But early optimism has turned to disappointment, with hundreds of fishermen vowing to lay down their nets on Friday, the first anniversary of Wukan's initial village-wide march, to protest against the committee's slow progress.
"The hopes are too high," said Yang Semao, Wukan's deputy village chief who was elected in a feted and democratic election in March.
At the time, expectations were high in this village, built on a sheltered harbour fringed by mountains, that he and his fellow elected officials could recover farmland that had been seized by the previous local administration.
"We have already been trying our best," Yang said, explaining that complex land contracts and bureaucratic red-tape were hindering their recovery of the land.
Some local critics said the new village committee, which includes several young leaders of last year's protests, lacked administrative experience, failed to engage the public and allowed itself to be manipulated and out-manoeuvred by higher authorities within the party.
The committee posted letters into walls around Wukan this week, detailing its progress to date: the return of some 253 hectares of land and other "steady steps", including the resurfacing of roads and other social policy initiatives.
But by Friday, some of the letters had been ripped down by villagers.
"They were people's heroes," said Chen Jinchao, a villager still trying to get back two thirds of a hectare of farmland.
"But now we see them differently. We don't have any new hope. What's the point of electing them if they can't solve the (land) problem."
A man on a motorcycle veered near Wukan's respected village chief, Lin Zuluan, on Thursday and warned him that something big might soon happen, said Zhang Jiancheng, one of the young activists elected onto the village committee.
"Of every 100 things, we may do 50 of them. But people only complain about the 50 things we don't do ... The village committee has been trying to get the land back piece by piece. It's been a very painful process but we must follow legal procedures."
Some say recent discord has been partly sown by allies of the former disgraced village leader, Xue Chang, while higher officials in the Shanwei county seat of government remain tangled in shady deals involving hundreds of hectares of Wukan land in a new economic development zone.
"If Shanwei's corrupt officials aren't cleaned out completely, it is very difficult for us to move forward," Zhang said.
With China on the cusp of a tumultuous leadership transition, any further unrest at Wukan could impact Guangdong province's high-flying leader, Wang Yang, who some hailed as a reformer for his defusing of the Wukan standoff by acceding to key village demands and averting a potentially bloody crackdown.
Some villagers have spoken of marching again and putting real pressure on county and provincial authorities.
"In the end if they really force us to the very limits, it will be like a volcano exploding, you can't control it," said a senior villager who asked not to be named.

Contained Places
Villingen-Schwenningen is a city in the Schwarzwald-Baar district in southern Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It has 80,941 inhabitants (as of 2009).
In the Middle Ages Villingen was a town under Austrian lordship. During the Protestant Reformation it remained Catholic. Villingen came to international attention when it was besieged by marshal Tallard in 1704. Colonel Von Wilstorff put up a stout defence of the outdated fortifications, and after six days the siege failed.
Schwenningen remained a village until the 19th century. In 1858 the first watch factory was established, and watchmaking and precision mechanics have been important industries ever since.
As part of the Baden-Württemberg territorial reform of 1972, Villingen and Schwenningen were merged with a number of surrounding villages to form the city of Villingen-Schwenningen. Nevertheless, the two halves of the city are separated by a plateau and remain distinct.
Villingen is a major center of German Carneval celebrations. The traditional Narros represent the old citizens of Villingen: Alt Villingere, Morbili, Hansele, Suribbel.
The town is the birthplace of German footballer Sebastian Rudy, NHL player Dennis Seidenberg, Croatian footballer Robert Prosinečki and Croatian former athlete Ivana Brkljačić whose parents were working in Germany at the time.
Since 1904, Villingen-Schwenningen has also been home to the hockey team the Schwenninger Wild Wings which competes in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga.

text: More men than women shift gears at Clemson University. According to a report on bike ridership and walking, nearly 80 percent of the bicyclists riding to and from campus are males. The Clemson Bicycle and Pedestrian 2013 Count Report helps leaders consider the opportunities to support the use of alternative modes of transportation on the campus. Data from the count enables campus planners and campus life leaders to learn more about the bicycle riding and pedestrians on campus by tallying bicycle and pedestrians at specific locations. The report says campus leaders first must reverse the trend of bicycle riders not wearing helmets. The report also highlights the gap in ridership between men and women bicycle riders on the campus. More men are riding bikes than women at Clemson. According to the report, looking at what discourages women from riding bikes and addressing those concerns would be an important step toward increasing the total number of bicycle riders and the percentage of female riders at the university.

Recent reviews of Coombe Farmhouse :
Eve O
"Excellent location"
We've just enjoyed a few restful days in Cornwall staying at Coombe Farmhouse. Very peaceful spot and just down the road from St Ives with ample parking. We were able to drive to St Ives easily and visited all parts of Penwith without any traffic problems. Roslyn and Keith are great hosts who made us feel very 'at home'. Comfortable, clean and friendly.
Will definitely recommend this B&B!!
"Great Stay"
Thanks for a great stay. Lovely views from the rooms and perfect location for us. Nice breakfast every morning, and even a special birthday breakfast for me, with candles and a birthday song from everyone! Owners very helpful and welcoming.
Would stay again! Thanks.
Alan H
"Home from Home"
Just returned from a short break at Coombe Farmhouse. Everything was really excellent, Roslyn and Keith very welcoming and helpful, lovely room, all spotlessly clean and excellent breakfast! Lovely rural location but close enough to nearby pubs, restaurants and resorts.
Can't wait to return! Alan and Jo.

Carl Icahn disclosed via Twitter's (TWTR) social media app in January that he had boosted his Apple holdings to $3.6 billion. He added that more aggressive buybacks were a "no brainer" in a letter to fellow Apple investors.
Pacific Crest Securities analyst Andy Hargreaves suggested that Tim Cook and Apple are not bowing to pressure from activists by repurchasing shares and paying a dividend.
"It's great that Carl Icahn figured out how to use Twitter and that he's got a 1% stake," Hargreaves said.
Apple appears "perfectly comfortable" with the system of deploying cash that its management has devised over years of analysis, he suggested.
"In the spectrum of ways you return cash, one way is to be loud, say what you are going to do and how are going to do it, which pops the stock and is good for activists" who may want to flip their shares, Hargreaves added. "It also generally results in your buying back your stock at an artificially inflated price."
The alternative is not to broadcast intentions and avoid driving up the price of securities your company is purchasing. "That's what Apple is doing and I appreciate that method," Hargreaves said.
Barclays Capital analyst Ben Reitzes suggested in a Friday note that Cook detailed Apple's buybacks in a Wall Street Journal interview "to remedy several inadequate answers on last week's [first quarter] conference call that we believe many investors found disappointing." One question after the call, he suggested, is why Apple was not buying shares more aggressively while the price neared $500 per share.
Cash stockpiles are not the sole focus of agitators. Pressure on Ebay and Juniper stems, at least in part, on a critique of the companies' asset portfolios.
In the case of Hewlett-Packard's (HPQ) 2011 clash with Ralph Whitworth's Relational Investors, governance was a central issue.
Given the political tension in Washington, D.C. and the place in the political cycle, Moody's analyst Lane suggested that temporary or permanent legislation to encourage repatriation of cash is not likely for the current administration.
Companies may take steps to preempt activism, he suggested.
Following Apple's disputes with David Einhorn's Greenlight Capital in 2013, Altera (ALTR) increased its stock buyback from about 11 million shares to more than 40 million shares, issuing $1 billion in note to fund the purchases. Unlike Apple, the San Jose chipmaker had not faced activist threats.
"You might see some companies saying we want to better control our fate," Lane said, "as opposed to having a disproportionate amount of pressure from an outside party."

No casualties have been reported in the incident. However, the bomb destroyed 26 glass panes, sources said. As soon as the report reached the police they rushed to the mandir and started an investigation. A forensic expert also examined the incident on the spot. No one has been arrested. Meanwhile, the Mizoram unit of the Congress has strongly condemned the explosion,"If this was the act of some party, that party should be banned," the MPCC said. The Zoram Nationalist Party also strongly condemned the attacked and urged the government to investigate the incident and arrest the culprits. The explosion came on the day when the opposition Mizo National Front (MNF) is organising a rally called 'Milem Biak Duhloh Kawngzawh' or Anti-Idol Worshipping Rally.

Let's go under the assumption all will be well with Pedro Martinez and Orlando Hernandez's foot problems heal.
That leaves the fourth starter in the playoffs between John Maine and Oliver Perez.
Both have been erratic in the second half, but have shown signs of turning it around.
My guess has Perez in the bullpen. I know there's the wildness factor, but he's also a high-strikeout guy who can be dominant for an inning. I think that will be a determining factor.
Like I said, it's a guess, but he can make it a moot point if he pitches lights out the rest of the way.

Kumho Ecsta LE Sport
Initial Review: 3,750 miles on tires
November 02, 2012
A little soft in the corners for harder turn-ins but I do believe this is related to the weight of my car with the V6. All in all they handle very well. Nice and quiet, compliant ride, and so far... good wear. I'd recommend buying these.

How has the middle school wrestling team been doing?
By Austin Eads, SWT Sports Writer
There is nothing quite like a rivalry game.
The Pulaski Middle School Orioles hosted the Dublin Middle School Dukes in front of a record setting crowd on Thursday night. Thursday's game featured plenty of good old fashioned hard fouls and even a few very pleasant surprises.
Right from the tip-off, you could tell that these two teams wanted more than anything to win this rivalry game. The Orioles flew out of the gates, using their patented formula of forcing turnovers, running in transition and shooting with great precision from beyond the arc to go up on the Dukes 15-4 in the first quarter.
The Dukes however were determined to make the game close, scoring the first 4 points of the second quarter thanks to some tough post play from Jaden Frazier. The Orioles were quick to respond however, having great success shooting against the Dukes zone defense to go into the second half with a 29-11 lead.
The action didn't slow down a bit in the third quarter, as both teams were still highly motivated to get win the game. The Orioles adapted their game plan a bit and ran more set plays because Dublin changed from zone to man defense. This subtle change helped the Dukes make up some ground at first, but the Orioles were eventually able to outrun the man defense and score a few hard earned points, making the score at the end of the third quarter 39-17.
The fourth quarter featured no break in the action, as both teams went back and forth down the court, with each possession more contested than the last. In the end, the Orioles were able to finish strong and take home a victory over the Dukes 49-23.
The Dukes coaching staff was pleased in spite of the loss. "I'm proud of my guys, they've put in a lot of hard work this entire year," Coach Harold Artison said. "Tonight just wasn't our night, we put our best foot forward and unfortunately lost to a good basketball team," Artison said in summation of the game.
The Orioles coaching staff was also very happy with the way their team played.
"This was a very spirited rivalry game and our guys handled it well. We were able to jump out early and were able to build on our lead from there," Coach Anthony Akers said. Akers also talked about the season in its entirety.
"This was a great season. I am very proud of these fine young men. It has been a pleasure to coach them," Akers said.
Orioles coach Dave Hart was also available for comment about the season after the game.
"These guys really bought into the prospect of team basketball from the very beginning of the season. Every single player on this team has a team first mentality, and that really shows how high their basketball IQ's are and is the reason we were successful as a team.
Coach CJ Burgis, or "the brains of the operation" as he is often referred to by Coach Akers, also gave a statement during the postgame interviews.
"These are some of the greatest kids that I have ever had the opportunity to help coach. This has been a great year," Coach Burgis said.
The Dukes had five players in the scoring column on Thursday night. Jaden Frazier led the way with 10 points, with Cole Duncan adding 5 points and Connor Martin adding 4 points. Kellen Dalton put up 3 points and Benjamin Poe pitched in 1 point to round out the Dukes scoring.
The Orioles had six players in the scoring column on the night. CC Grubb led all scorers on the night with 14 points, while Alex Akers and Sean Spencer put up 10 points each. Trent Blankenship scored 9 points, with Noah Kyle adding 4 points and Conner Turpin adding 2 points to round out the Orioles scoring.
The Orioles are finished with basketball for the year, but five of their players will be playing JV basketball at Pulaski County High School for the remainder of the season. Those five players are CC Grubb, Noah Kyle, Trent Blankenship, Sean Spencer and Alex Akers. Those five will be joined by two Dublin players, Jaden Frazier and Braeden Blevins.
You can see these players suit up for JV Cougars on Friday evening as they welcome the Salem Spartans to the "Cougar Den" for a game at 5:30 p.m.
