June 6th, 2017
It has happened: The volcano at Yellowstone Park has erupted. Luckily enough, the surrounding area was evacuated after the scientist, who had been carefully monitoring the caldera, noticed an increase in temperature and pressure. The pressure was so great that it was beginning to push up the earth to form tendrils of searing steam. Understandably, people are in panic and the media is not helping any. I wasn't really expecting them to, but I expected them to be useful, but they, too, seem to be in a frenzy. They speak of how quickly the volcanic ash will spread due to the unstable airstream. It seems odd to me that one problem exacerbates another. They say that the ash will reach where I live sometime tomorrow, so I'm preparing today.
As you probably have already guessed, our stores will be packed with people, so I'm using a more…unconventional approach: I'm shoveling up dirt by the shovelful and pouring it into trash bags. There's no point in buying dirt when you have some in your own backyard. Since the dirt already has, shall we say, "natural" fertilizer thanks to our two dogs and stray animals all that is left is to aerate the dirt when the time comes to use it. I won't get into detail how it will be done, but it's not too difficult of a process. Water will be a bit more difficult, but I learned how to filtrate water using pebbles and then boiling the water after that so that is basically sterilized. I can't say that I am fully prepared for this, but I can safely say I am at a start. The government has already sent a solider to our door with gas masks so we can breathe and not inhale the glass-laced ash. They even gave us some for our animals. I don't know what to make of all this, but I know that it will change life forever. I believe that is all for now, I have a lot of work to do, lots of work.
June 7th, 2017
It is dark and cool, the ash resembles dirty snow as it drifts around in the seemingly tranquil wind. Normally, today would be an ideal day to go outside, but I fear for my life as my once quiet neighborhood has turned into a mass of hysterical people going door to door, asking for basic supplies, since the stores were all sold out. It creeps me out, looking at a mask, unable to read their eyes or their facial expressions; the terror in their voices is almost visible, though, it seems to make the ash vibrate and jiggle. They're shaking, too, which is definitely not a good sign, that means that their nerves are shot, meaning that they are already toeing the line of insanity; constant panic attacks frequently end in insanity, I know that all too well.
A few minutes ago, a little girl, couldn't have been more than seven, was out, alone, asking for water. I gave her a gallon of my sterilized water and she thanked me in the most peculiar way: "You can live." were here simple words as she walked to the next house. I was stunned and a bit scared. What did she mean by that? I can live? What if I gave her nothing? I now feared for my family so I picked up my cell phone to call them, only to get a "No signal" notice. Cursing inwardly, I remembered the ash was also interfering with some electrical apparatuses, particularly ones that relied on satellites, which meant cell phones and Wi-Fi. Although our internet is broadband and not satellite, I still have latency issues from time to time, I warrant that to human folly; I think that there are a lot of people spending time with their family opposed to going to work and a handful of people can only do so much when it comes to trouble shooting.
My husband, being the trooper that he is, donned his mask and went to work, leaving me alone…with no way to get a hold of him. What if more like her come? I have bottled quite a bit of the sterilized water, but I cannot supply the whole town! The process takes me several hours, how could I possibly supply water for thousands of people? Then it occurs to me: I can teach them how to do it themselves! I would be contributing something to society. So, mustering up all the courage I had, I strapped the gas mask to my head and walked out, regretting it instantly. I saw the same girl that had asked for water, standing across the street, her masked face facing my direction and I knew, I just knew, that she was staring at me. Swallowing hard, my gas mask all of the sudden feeling more suffocating than usual, I managed to squeak out a trembling "Hello." The little girl did not move, did not react to what I said. Maybe she was afraid? I gathered up my courage and continued. "Listen, I'm not going to hurt you, I just want to help you out." The little girls mask tilted to the side, but she remained silent.
"I can teach you how to make your water drinkable, it's lengthy but…"
I was stopped when I saw droves of masked people walking out of their houses and converging towards my location. I started to hyper-ventilate and I felt the overwhelming urge to yank off my mask, but I endured and calmed down when they stopped a good 10 yards from me.
"Water?" one asked, his voice grainy and harsh, as if he hadn't drank in years.
"How can we get water? Our water supply is tainted!" demanded a woman, fidgeting at her gas mask and then at her long sleeve shirt.
"It-it is quite simple. Collect a gallon or so of pebbles, put them in boiling water for about 10 minutes, take them out, get a sieve or something similar to put the pebbles on, and then turn on the tap, the pebbles remove a lot of the impurities, but to be safe, boil your water after the filtration process. The main pollutant that is most worrisome is the small particles of glass in the ash, but the pebbles will catch that."
"That seems kind of fishy to me! How do I know you're not trying to kill us all?" asked a man from my left, who immediately started to cough.
"It works! I've been using it and I'm not dead, yet."
"What about the actual ash?"
"The water treatment plant is still operational, they're still purifying it the best they can, but I'm playing it safe. And the pebbles would filter out the ash, even if there were trace amounts left behind. The only downside is, is that this process takes a few hours…"
I felt a sea of masks staring at me and suddenly I threw caution to the wind and removed my mask, causing everyone to gasp.
"Look me in the eye and tell me that I'm trying to kill you!" I yelled, all of the sudden very angry. There was a pause and then little by little applause rippled amongst the sea of clothed faces. All except one: The little girl. She continued to stare at me, I couldn't see it, but I could feel it and it terrified me. I put my mask on before my face could register the terror.
"What about food?" demanded an elderly lady, from the sound of it, as she shifted her weight from one foot to the other.
"I have no answer to that, I'm struggling with that myself."
"You can go to the store and buy food." said the little girl, her voice startling me for two reasons: First it was monotone, completely devoid of emotion, secondly, it sounded incredibly clear, as if it were being amplified opposed to being muffled as one would expect for a masked voice to be. Had she always spoke so clearly? I tried to recall, but I just couldn't. There was a bit of a commotion and suddenly the little girl walked to my side and held my hand, it was freezing. I squeezed it a little bit and a masked face looked up at me. God, how I wished she would just take off her mask for only a second so I could read her.
"You ask much of this woman, yet she has already provided you with what you need the most. Why can you not accept that she does not have all the answers? She is not god, she cannot provide everything for you. Go to the store, stop your panicking, and let things work itself out." her voice was rife with anger and annoyance, a far cry from what it was a few moments ago. She let go of my hand and held it out, I watched as tiny particles of ash feel upon her pale hand.
"It has only just begun, it will get worse. Prepare yourselves accordingly." she said, dropping her hand and walking past two stunned men. The fear was almost palpable, hell, I could almost smell it.
"What if the food is tainted?"
"I-I already said I didn't know…" my stuttering gave away my terror. That was when the people started to converge on me, yelling questions at me. My fight or flight instinct took hold, then, and I fled into my house, locking the door behind me. Shortly thereafter I heard the sharp knocks of several people pounding on my door.
"Give us food! Tell us what to do!" begged a woman, her voice sounding as if it were on the verge of tears.
"Give us water!" demanded another voice, this one male, and decidedly more vicious and demanding. I backed away from my door and grabbed a knife, I didn't know what else to do. Then I heard them: Gunshots, loud, thunderous, gunshots that ceased the knocking almost immediately. Then a very loud voice pierced the void of silence that the gunshot had caused.
"If you do not desist, you all will be shot. Back away from the house." there was an outcry and then more gunshots. It was then I started to cry: What had I done? I peeked outside and watched in terror as a swat team mowed down the mob that was trying to steal their weapons. I quickly closed the blinds, ran to my room, and vomited into the toilet. I was responsible for these people's death."
I was just trying to help and now they're dead. They're dead and it's all my fault. They're dead.
I continued to dry heave until I managed to get myself under control. I took four Xanax, I knew it was risky, but I was afraid. My Xanax, my medicine, when I ran out of them, what then? The world was going mad, and I knew that my insanity would soon follow if I didn't have my medicine. Maybe I could endure. Maybe I would go insane. I'm not quite sure, all I know is that right now I feel sick and guilty.
Their fault for trying to get weapons… all their fault, not yours. All your fault, not theirs. Check outside, my dear, there are bodies littering the streets. Streets littering the bodies. Blood running down the gutters. The ash is falling, my dear. The world is dying and you're helping. No, not my fault. The ashes are falling, my dear. All your fault.
Dear god, I'm losing my mind. I just have to write this down. Please save me, I'm losing my mind.
June 12th, 2017
I saw the little girl, again, when I let my dog out. She was in my back yard. My dog, however, didn't seem to mind and went about his business as he tried desperately to smell through his mask.
"H-how did you get in here?"
"Through the gate." she answered, simply, as if explaining her being there to a young child.
"I mean, why are you here?" the little girl laughed and I shuddered. The darkness, which had only deepened from yesterday, seemed to make the little girl's figure look superimposed. As if she were a photo shopped ghost and that unsettled me even more. But what unsettled me the most, and it didn't occur to me until just now, she was always wearing a black dress and there was something that stained her dress darker near her collarbones.
"The answer to that is simple, I am here to collect you. You see, it seems to me that you have not yet lost your mind like so many have, in fact, despite your fear, you acted quite rationally. I admire that, we need more people like you." she pulled out a gun and I started to shake.
"Why do you need a gun?" I asked, although I knew the answer.
"Death is the only way we can "deliver" you." before I could react, she pulled the trigger and I cried out in agony as I felt the bullet grind through my skull and into my brain. I blacked out and ended up here. Where's here? I'm not quite sure. All I know is that it has internet access and is completely monitored, so I must watch what I put down here. This has been the longest day of my whole life. I miss my husband, I miss my dog, and I miss my boring life.
06/17/17 08:00
I woke up today in a cold sweat, surrounded by darkness. A darkness that seemed to move and shift every few seconds. The darkness had eyes, white eyes with black pupils, all staring at me.
"Why? Why?" the darkness chants and I have no answer. The darkness encroaches me, the eyes move closer. I feel their hands, cold, rigid, stroking my face and body. Their chant continues. I cannot block it out. Why is it so dark? Who are these people?
Why? Why? Why?
It is still dark, but the darkness is different and they are not in it. It appears they moved me to a common area, as there are people surrounding me, eating and chatting. I notice none of them are wearing masks. I reach up and discover that I, too, am without a mask. That's when I see her: The little girl that "collected" me. Funny, now that I look closer at her, I notice how light her hair is, almost white, and how black her dress is and…white her eyes are. Is she one of them? I look around, trying to spot other white eye people, but spot only normal looking people. Can they even see her? She's not hard to miss. Have I gone insane? Is she an illusion? She is much more terrifying without her mask. How I wish she would put it back on. She walked over to me and sat down across from me, a warm smile crossing her pale face.
"There's no need to fear me. I may not be of your planet, but now, neither are you. You are an Ascended, now. From here on out you will be working with other Ascended to collect both people and data so that we may expand this Utopia."
"B-but how? You killed me! You shot me in the head!" I said, my voice getting louder with each word, she pressed a small finger against my lips and I felt suddenly numb.
"You are not dead, merely… reconfigured. You are to go out and do as you are told. You are free to write whatever you wish, no one will believe you." her smile suddenly grew sinister. "People on Earth, they are no longer people, merely animals…but…" Her smile dipped into a frown. "That does not necessarily mean that there aren't still logical people in the world. Your job is simple: Find the logical people, collect their data, and then collect them." She stood up and gave me a piece of steel. I gave her a strange look.
"What the hell am I supposed to do with this?" My fist tightened around it and I felt it buckle. Startled, I let it go, watching it hit the floor with a loud clang.
"You just answered your own question. You see, your emotions affect your abilities. Anger leads to strength, kindness leads to irresistible charisma and charm, and so on. You will use these abilities to collect data and future Ascenders."
"So this, all of this, isn't the government? Is this even Earth?" I stuttered, hardly able to cohere words together. The little girl shook her head to both questions.
"This isn't Earth and we are not in any way associated with government, we are above that. We are currently in the Ether, the very essence of creation. As you know, your world is pretty much dead when it comes to humans and animals, if we don't "collect" more people like you, we will be unable to rebuild the new world when the time comes. It is not your body that we wanted, but your mind. Your actual body is in the ground, buried six feet under back on Earth. If it makes you feel any better, your husband grieved for you, unfortunately for you, you will have to collect him as he has the potential to become one of the ascended.
I slumped in my chair. So I was nothing but data to them? And what of my body? What was I currently inhabiting? Was I a robot?
"So, I'm no longer human… Hell, I don't even have a name."
"You are right on both counts, but today you receive your name. Your new name is "Espoir". Also, I suggest you look in the mirror some time, I think you'll like your new look."
I didn't like the way she said that, but, tonight, after my shower, I shall take a look myself.
I am confused, I look nothing like I did before. I was once short, slightly chubby, and had brown hair and eyes, I now have eyes that are so light green they border on yellow and my hair is crimson and falls down my body in wet rivets. I used to have darker skin, now I am pale and am slender. I can't say that I am displeased, merely that I am surprised and confused. Did all of the Ascended go through this change? If so, why did they look so ordinary? At any rate, I was given a mission, and I move out tomorrow. For anyone that is still sane and reading this, I am sorry.

typosquatting belgian DNS is irresponsable
Dns.be says in a reaction to the article published in De Morgen based on research published here and given exclusively untill publication to De Morgen (journalists who want such material can also contact me) that it doesn't want to play 'policeman'. This is to say that you give ownership to a virtual name without any controls that you use in the real world before according a name to a business. This is typical of the way business and security is done online (wild wild west) but is neither professional nor good for business building. In the real world you can't call your firm belgacoom for example.
It is even more irresponsable because domainnames from governmental institutions and portals that should be very well protected because they are used by many people who don't have the proper knowledge or protections to handle such situations or the consequences aren't protected.
So DNS.be is a guardian who doesn't guard, it is just someone receiving money for their monopoly without any obligation or responsability. A capitalist dream.
What should they do ? First they should make a list of all the important domainnames of public institutions and important private firms for which there would be typosquatting defense. Secondly they should block all free domainnames that were given until january and that are used as typosquatting for the simple reason that they are in contradiction with their own rules. Thirdly they should present and implement a simple procedure to stop any site that is typosquatting. Fourth they should mention typosquatting as a explicit reason for transferring the domainnames. Fifth they should engage people that would oversee and control the domain .be for such issues so they can act pro-actively.
No monopoly without responsability.
typosquatting, ethics and the law Hi Len, I read the article on typosquatting in De Morgen and arrived at your weblog.
My first question is: which law makes typosquatting illegal? After all, it is the user that makes an error in the first place.
My second question is: if a typosquatter would put an announcement with a link on his page: "if you are looking for FGOV.BE, click here", and for the rest he would fill that page with all kinds of advertisements, would you consider that to be illegal or unethical?

answers It is a totally different discussion. THis is the same discussion about the responsabilities of the ISP (art 114-115 of the New Telecomlaw, see also my blog that campaigned for such http://manifest.skynetblogs.be) that now have responsabilities to protect their users against viruses and spam. Well a public service like DNS should protect its users against the most obvious forms of squatting in its own domain. Not because it is illegal in the pure sense of the word, but because it is its public duty. Just as the water company cleans the water (do not misunderstand, porn sites and so on that don't do any squatting have no problem with me)

Tool for detecting typosquatters Speaking about typosquatters, here is a free website that detects whether your site has been typosquattered
Here is what you need to do:
1. Type your company domain name into the input field below
2. Choose the root domain from the drop down list below
3. Choose the types of typos you want to be investigated
4. Click "Search" and wait for a while
The system will generate the list of possible typos and misprints and tell you whether any domain names using these typos are already taken by other people.

This girl obviously likes me, and we text and talk a lot. We are gonna go on a date soon, and eventually be in a relationship. I have never had a girlfriend before, and I think she is cute.
But everyone else is disappointed in me saying I could do better, and now that I think of it it is bothering me. I mean I love her personality, but like my friends are giving me crap for it and I'm kinda sick of it.
I mean she's not ugly or anything, but I wouldn't consider her pretty, prob just cute. On a scale of 1-10 ten being the prettiest, id say 5 or 6, and I know personality is what counts more, but its bothering me.
Your thoughts?
Most Helpful Girl
I think you are maybe to young to be dating if you are not confident enough to make your own decisions or make up your own mind about this young lady. And your friends aren't much of friends if they are only concerned about what she looks like.
You should be asking yourself how you feel when you are texting and talking. That's what you need to be using to measure your interest level. Looks are nothing. How does she make you feel?
I'd go for it if I were you...your friends are propably a little jealous.11|00|0

Honeywell Pops Up in WikiLeaks' DNC E-Mail Trove
News coverage of the 2016 Democratic National Convention from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, on July 26, 2016.
Disney/ABC News via Flickr
On the eve of the 2016 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, the Democratic National Committee was rocked by the release of an archive of nearly 20,000 internal e-mails — the result of a hack many believe was orchestrated by the Russian government.
Amid the slew of documents the website WikiLeaks released last week are a handful of e-mails that reference one of Arizona's largest employers.
In a string of eight e-mails, DNC staff discussed a potential $60,000 donation to the convention from Honeywell International, which operates a Phoenix-based aerospace division that employs nearly 10,000 people.
Honeywell is one of the nation's most prolific contributors to political action committees. Over the past year, the DNC has reversed bans on contributions from PACs and lobbyists.
In an e-mail dated May 22, the DNC's Mid-Atlantic finance director Alexandra Shapiro brought up the prospect of the hefty contribution and what Honeywell wanted in return.
"This is $60k we definitely wouldn't get otherwise and Honeywell is the biggest PAC contributor in the country," Shapiro wrote to two colleagues. "... [T]hey're definitely a bit pissy about our PAC policy flip flop and that offering this gesture would definitely help our relationship with them for later in the election cycle and for years to come."
Honeywell communications director Rob Ferris declined New Times' request for an interview but confirmed the donation.
"Not much for us to say other than, Honeywell supports those who support policies that are good for our business," Ferris wrote in an e-mail to New Times.
In the DNC e-mail thread, staffers indicated that the donation would secure Honeywell representatives a hotel room during the convention.
"The hotel room for $60k shouldn't be a problem," a staffer responded to Shapiro's inquiry.
Hillary Clinton campaigned at a Phoenix high school this past March, ahead of Arizona's presidential preference election.

WikiLeaks' trove of DNC e-mails expose the inner workings of the organization's intensive fundraising efforts. Some of the correspondence showed party officials disparaging Sen. Bernie Sanders and attempting to impede his efforts to win the Democratic presidential nomination.

In the wake of the scandal, the DNC issued a statement.
"On behalf of everyone at the DNC, we want to offer a deep and sincere apology to Senator Sanders, his supporters, and the entire Democratic Party for the inexcusable remarks made over email," the statement reads in part. "Individual staffers have also rightfully apologized for their comments, and the DNC is taking appropriate action to ensure it never happens again."
Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the DNC's chair, resigned the position she'd held since 2011, effective at the convention's end.
Honeywell's 9,500 Arizona employees, meanwhile, may have reason to be a little irked at their bosses' political largesse.
In May, the company reportedly nixed merit raises for the year and instructed employees to take a furlough — a weeklong unpaid vacation between June 27 and July 3.
At the time, communications director Scott Sayres said Honeywell was "implementing some short-term cost controls in light of the slower global economy and recent aerospace industry-wide market challenges and volatility as noted by many of our biggest customers."
It was the second time in six months that employees were asked to take a week off without pay. The previous furlough was reportedly ordered in November, coupled with an announcement of impending layoffs.
In part, the company has attributed slower economic growth to decreased funding by the U.S. Department of Defense.

Billy Slater Queensland's No.1? If he is, Kevin Walters should eat his hat. Because for all the tears and hand-wringing north of the border over a man who some argue is the best fullback to have played the game, he's not quite Queensland's real No.1. That's Cameron Smith.
But how can they possibly deny Slater the chance to wear the No.1 now? Dropped balls, shoddy passes, half gaps, a twisted leg ... and then bang. When it mattered most with the game on the line. A deft pass to set up the matchwinner. And a second coming in Queensland's maroon.
So while Slater might have already been fitted to return to the jersey he once made his own for State of Origin II, Smith still is the man NSW fear most as they stand on the cusp of blowing up Queensland's creaky Origin dynasty.
The Australian and Queensland captain didn't just slip into the Slater-Valentine Holmes spotlight in the grand final replay, he unceremoniously shoved them out of it for large parts and racked up 51 tackles before the Storm toppled nemesis Cronulla in another cliffhanger.
The Cooper Cronk-less Melbourne won 18-13 in a spiteful clash on Thursday night, Slater gifting Felise Kaufusi the sealer with six minutes left after Smith had put on the Storm's first two tries.
And provided a little reminder to NSW's Sharks quartet they shouldn't just fear the cavalry coming at ANZ Stadium, but rather who's been there along.
Slater will be thankful he made it to the full-time whistle after falling awkwardly in a tackle, ironically laid by Holmes who is also angling for a Queensland backline spot, behind his goalposts mid-way through the second half. He eventually limped back into the fray and back into Walters' wounded Maroons.
Holmes, you could argue, scored a slight points decision on the night, but it is unlikely to be enough to see him usurp Slater in the race to replace an out-of-sorts Justin O'Neill. Especially after Slater's late intervention following a mixed night settled the contest.
Sosaia Feki scored a controversial second half try, which wasn't referred to the NRL Bunker, in which replays seemed inconclusive in whether he grounded the ball.
It helped the Sharks trim an early Smith-inspired 12-point deficit as NSW's nemesis laid on the first two tries for the Storm, who remain on top of the table.
The Storm rested Cronk, but rolled out the red carpet for Smith's return. And why not?
After bashing and brawling with each other for more than 70 minutes before a try could be scored in the first grand final replay earlier this year, Smith needed all of three minutes to keep the scoreboard attendant happy this time. He ducked out of dummy-half, potted a 40-20 and a few plays later sent Kaufusi crashing over.
It was even easier when Tim Glasby bore down on Jayden Brailey five minutes later with Smith pulling the strings again.
But if ever there was a team that can scrap with Melbourne it was always going to be the Sharks. They dodged a couple of more bullets and then when a stray James Maloney pass hit the deck Clive Churchill medallist Luke Lewis jinked off the right foot twice to throw them a lifeline.
Feki fortuitously found the corner to bring them back within two points, a margin wiped out when Maloney potted a penalty goal inside the last quarter.
Maloney's snap field goal with eight minutes left lifted the Sharks to the lead for the first time, a lead which lasted all of one set.
After re-gathering the ball from a short kick-off, Slater sent Kaufusi into a yawning gap. And booked himself an Origin return.
Melbourne Storm 18 (Felise Kaufusi 2, Tim Glasby tries; Cameron Smith 3 goals) defeated Cronulla Sharks 13 (Luke Lewis, Sosaia Feki tries; James Maloney 2 goals, field goal) at Southern Cross Group Stadium. Referees: Matt Cecchin, Gavin Badger.

Based in Victoria, but working with Tasmanian wool producers, Kylie Gusset runs a social enterprise called Ton of Wool.
Ton of Wool started as a crowd-funded project in 2011 and is based on manufacturing wool as locally as possible to meet more discerning textile market.
The project uses wool from the Cormo sheep breed and Kylie works with the Downie family, the Tasmanian Central Highlands sheep farmers who were the first to breed Cormo's around 1960.
The Ton of Wool project emerged from a successful crowd-funding campaign which raised about $40,000 to make locally processed wool easier to find.
As a textiles student Ms Gusset wanted to source wool that had been processed locally. She says 80 per cent of Australia's wool is processed in China.
"One of the things that really stood out to me was that we were actually shipping lanolin, dirt and sheep dung to China in order to have it processed," she said.
The environmental impact of shipping local wool to have it processed so far away was another driving factor.
"Why can't we do that here?" she said.
For the Ton of Wool project all of the wool comes from Cormo sheep, a cross between the Corriedale and the Merino. The breed has a number of advantages.
"What's really great about Cormo is that it has a lustre and a strength, a softness and a fineness that is quite difficult to achieve." she said.
"It's a multi-purpose animal in that it can be used for both wool and meat."
But while the project is based on the premise of producing and processing a product locally, Ms Gusset has had to send wool to New Zealand for processing.
"Australia is getting the bulk of their wool processed in China, so if that's happening, and that's happening at extremely large quantities, when you're looking at niche markets there's really nowhere for them to go," she said.
She mentions the rise in popularity of local, handcrafted products.
"With sites such at Etsy, we're seeing this boom in the handmade and looking at the origins of what we purchase", she said.
Ms Gusset sees plenty of opportunities for other people looking for a way to market and fund new products through crowd funding.
"If you need to do something different, and if you want to trial the market it's a great way of actually showing that there was support".

HIV-1 becomes enveloped while budding through the plasma membrane, and the release of nascent virions requires a membrane fission event that separates the viral envelope from the cell surface. To facilitate this crucial step in its life cycle, HIV-1 exploits a complex cellular membrane remodeling and fission machinery known as the ESCRT pathway. HIV-1 Gag directly interacts with early-acting components of this pathway, which ultimately triggers the assembly of the ESCRT-III membrane fission complex at viral budding sites. Surprisingly, HIV-1 requires only a subset of ESCRT-III components, indicating that the membrane fission reaction that occurs during HIV-1 budding differs in crucial aspects from topologically related cellular abscission events.
Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites due to their dependence on host cell factors to complete their "life cycle". Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1) is no exception, as it relies exclusively on cellular machinery to express the components required for the assembly of progeny virions. Furthermore, HIV-1 is exquisitely dependent on cellular factors for its ultimate release from virus-producing cells.
HIV-1 assembly and release are driven by the viral Gag protein, which associates with the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane and oligomerizes into a spherical protein shell that deforms the attached membrane. Ultimately, the growing bud pinches off from the cell surface, leading to the release of an immature virion. During or after budding, Gag is cleaved by the viral protease, which is necessary for the morphological maturation of the virion and for infectivity. The major cleavage products derived from Gag are the matrix (MA), capsid (CA), and nucleocapsid (NC) proteins. MA remains associated with the lipid envelope of the virion, CA rearranges to form the typically cone-shaped mature HIV-1 capsid, and NC covers the viral RNA genome within the capsid. The processing of HIV-1 Gag by the viral protease also yields a C-terminal peptide called p6, whose location in the mature virion has not yet been definitively determined.1
Because HIV-1 buds from the plasma membrane and thereby acquires a lipid envelope, the membrane covering the Gag shell ultimately must be severed from the plasma membrane to release the nascent virion into the extracellular medium. Although membrane fission could conceivably occur spontaneously once the assembling Gag shell approaches completion, retroviruses such as HIV-1 in fact exploit a cellular membrane fission machinery to facilitate their release. Specifically, the detachment of the virion depends on the host cell's ESCRT pathway, which promotes membrane scission from the cytosolic side of bud necks, such as those formed during retroviral assembly. This review focuses on how HIV-1 engages the ESCRT pathway, and on how various components of the pathway contribute to HIV-1 release.
The first indication that the release of retroviruses does not occur spontaneously came from a study showing that the unstructured p6 region of HIV-1 Gag is specifically required for the detachment of budded virions from the cell surface.2 In adherent cells, viral particles lacking p6 assembled at the plasma membrane and initiated the budding process, but remained trapped at the cell surface via a membranous tether.2 The phenotype of p6 mutants differs somewhat in T cell lines and primary lymphocytes, where the defect is primarily at the level of virion-virion detachment, resulting in the release of chains of virions.3 The major determinant required for HIV-1 virion detachment turned out to be a highly conserved PTAP motif within the otherwise rather variable C-terminal p6 domain of Gag.2; 4 All other known retroviruses harbor functionally equivalent short peptide motifs in Gag, which are commonly referred to as "late assembly" or L domains.5 In addition to the PTAP-type L domain found in HIV-1 and most other lentiviruses, two other types of L domains have been well characterized to date. These include the LYPxnL-type L domain originally identified in the Gag protein of equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV),6 and the PPxY-type L domain present in the Gag proteins of Rous sarcoma virus and of many other retroviruses.7 Different types of L domains often occur in combination; for instance, HIV-1 p6 harbors an auxiliary L domain of the LYPxnL-type, in addition to its primary PTAP-type L domain.8
Remarkably, different types of L domains can sometimes be exchanged between unrelated viruses, and the function of L domains does not strictly depend on their position within Gag.5 Together, these observations supported the concept that L domains are conserved docking sites that serve to recruit host factors to the site of virus assembly.5 This notion was confirmed by the discovery that the PTAP motif in HIV-1 p6 interacts with human TSG101, and that the interaction is required for HIV-1 budding.9; 10; 11; 12 Intriguingly, TSG101 is the mammalian homolog of a yeast protein required for the budding of cellular vesicles into the lumen of endosomal compartments called multivesicular bodies (MVB). This cellular budding process is mediated by a complex and highly conserved protein network, the ESCRT machinery, and serves to deliver transmembrane proteins in their entirety into the interior of endosomes for their eventual degradation.13; 14 Notably, the ESCRT-mediated budding of vesicles into MVB, like the budding of HIV-1 from the plasma membrane, occurs away from the cytosol, and thus has an identical topology.
In addition to TSG101, HIV-1 engages the ESCRT pathway component ALIX via its auxiliary LYPxnL-type L domain.8; 15; 16 ALIX is also the functionally relevant interaction partner for the LYPxnL-type L domain of EIAV, which is essential for EIAV budding.8; 15; 16 The third type of L domain (PPxY), which is not present in HIV-1, engages HECT ubiquitin ligases of the NEDD4 family.17; 18; 19 Interestingly, NEDD4 family ubiquitin ligases regulate the sorting of cargo into MVB.20 Thus, it appears that all types of L domains ultimately connect to the machinery involved in MVB sorting and biogenesis.
The ESCRT pathway exists in all eukaryotes, and consists of five heterooligomeric complexes (ESCRT-0, -I, -II, -III, and VPS4 complexes) as well as accessory proteins such as ALIX.21 ESCRT complexes are thought to be recruited sequentially to endosomal membranes, although there is evidence that upstream ESCRT complexes may act in parallel.22 ESCRT-0, -I, and –II are recruited as preformed complexes, whereas the ESCRT-III complex transiently assembles on endosomes from soluble cytosolic components. Mammalian ESCRT-III is formed by the CHMP proteins, a family of structurally related but highly divergent α-helical proteins that has twelve known members in humans. A recent report by Wollert and Hurley demonstrates that the individual ESCRT complexes perform discrete functions.23 Using purified ESCRT components and giant unilaminar vesicles (GUVs), they showed that: 1) the ESCRT-0 complex functions to concentrate ubiquitinated cargo on endosomal membranes, 2) the ESCRT-I and ESCRT-II complexes together induce bud formation without themselves entering the lumen of the budding vesicles, and 3) the ESCRT-III complex mediates membrane scission from the cytosolic side of the bud. Rather than being consumed, ESCRT-III is disassembled and recycled by the VPS4-VTA1 complex, enabling further rounds of sorting. Thus, in the MVB pathway, all of the ESCRT complexes are required.
Although the ESCRT machinery was first characterized based on its requirement for MVB biogenesis, it has recently emerged that the ESCRT system is also involved in membrane remodeling and fission events that lead to midbody abscission during the final stages of cytokinesis.24; 25; 26 Additionally, the ESCRT machinery controls earlier stages of cell division. At least a subset of ESCRT proteins is required for the proper function of centrosomes, and it has been noted that certain ESCRT-III components localize to kinetochores.27 Interestingly, ESCRT-III and Vps4 homologs are also key components of the cell divison system of certain archaea.28; 29 Since eukaryotes and archaea diverged at least a billion years ago, the promotion of cell division is likely to be the ancestral function of the ESCRT machinery.
The PTAP L domain of HIV-1 Gag binds directly to TSG101, the central component of ESCRT-I, a stable cytosolic heterotetramer formed by one copy each of TSG101, VPS28, VPS37, and MVB12.21; 30 Human cells express four versions of VPS37 (termed VPS37A-D) and two versions of MVB12 (termed MVB12A and B), which are encoded by different genes.30; 31; 32 Thus, eight combinations of TSG101, VPS28, VPS37, and MVB12 are theoretically possible, and all of these can indeed form stable ESCRT-I variants in cells.30 The complete ESCRT-I heterotetramer consists of a core formed by a headpiece and a long stalk, and of conformationally dynamic TSG101 UEV and VPS28 C-terminal domains (CTD) that are appended to opposite ends of the extended core.33
The flexible attachment of the UEV domain of TSG101 to the ESCRT-I core is thought to facilitate the binding of ligands, such as the PTAP L domain in HIV-1 p6. In the endocytic pathway, the TSG101 UEV domain binds to PSxP motifs in ESCRT-0 component HRS,34; 35 which has led to the proposal that HIV-1 Gag mimics the ability of HRS to recruit TSG101.34 In support of this notion, an HRS fragment capable of recruiting TSG101 rescues virus-like particle production when fused to an HIV-1 Gag construct that lacks its native PTAP L domain.34 Interestingly, P(T/S)AP binding-deficient alleles of TSG101 do not support HIV-1 budding as expected, but retain full function in EGF receptor degradation.32; 36 Therefore, compounds that target the HIV-1 Gag-TSG101 interaction to inhibit HIV-1 budding are not necessarily expected to have global inhibitory effects on the ESCRT pathway.
The role of the TSG101 UEV domain in HIV-1 budding is limited to the recognition of the PTAP L domain, because the N-terminal UEV domain is dispensable for the rescue of L domain-defective HIV-1 when TSG101 is artificially recruited to assembly sites.11 However, under these artificial conditions, a C-terminal region of TSG101 that binds to VPS28 remains necessary to confer budding activity.32; 37 Interestingly, the VPS28 CTD, which is attached to the ESRCT-I core via a flexible tether,33 is sufficient to rescue budding when appended to an L domain-defective Gag construct, apparently by acting as an adaptor for ESCRT-III component CHMP6.38 TSG101 also interacts with VPS37 proteins, which again can provide L domain function when fused directly to Gag.31; 32 Furthermore, binary TSG101-VPS37 complexes interact with MVB12,30 which is thought to stabilize the extended stalk of the ESCRT-I core.33 Nevertheless, MVB12 does not appear to play a central role in HIV-1 release.30 However, the depletion of MVB12 proteins induces aberrant virion morphologies and inhibits HIV-1 infectivity.30
Together with ESCRT-I, ESCRT-II mediates the deformation of endosomal membranes into buds during MVB biogenesis.23; 39 Yeast ESCRT-II binds to ESCRT-I component Vps28 and to ESCRT-III component Vps20, and thereby links ESCRT-I to ESCRT-III.40 Human ESCRT-I and ESCRT-II also interact, albeit in a different manner,41 and human ESCRT-II binds directly to ESCRT-III component CHMP6.41; 42 Together, these observations indicate that ESCRT-II also connects ESCRT-I to ESCRT-III in humans. Just as one might expect, human ESCRT-II transiently associates with endosomal membranes like its yeast counterpart, and functions in receptor downregulation.41 However, human ESCRT-II is dispensable for HIV-1 budding,41 indicating that HIV-1 p6-associated ESCRT-I recruits ESCRT-III membrane scission machinery in some other way.
The ESCRT-III complex is the main engine that carries out membrane scission in the ESCRT pathway.23; 43 The core ESCRT-III complex is formed by Vps20, SNF7, Vps24, and Vps2 in yeast, and by their homologs CHMP6, CHMP4A-C, CHMP3, and CHMP2A-B in humans. As its yeast ortholog Vps20, human CHMP6 is N-myristoylated and thought to nucleate the oligomerization of CHMP4 proteins on membranes.42; 44; 45 The remaining human ESCRT-III core components CHMP3 and CHMP2 appear to function as termination factors that cap CHMP4 filaments and recruit VPS4 for ESCRT-III disassembly.44
An essential role for the membrane fission activity of ESCRT-III in HIV-1 release is strongly implied by the fact that various dominant-negative versions of VPS4, the ATPase that disassembles ESCRT-III, arrest the budding of HIV-1 and other retroviruses.10; 46; 47 HIV-1 budding is also strongly inhibited if both human VPS4 proteins are depleted simultaneously via siRNA. 48 Moreover, individual ESCRT-III components, which are autoinhibited to prevent premature polymerization, can be activated to become extremely potent inhibitors of HIV-1 budding.8; 15; 16; 49; 50; 51; 52; 53 For instance, CHMP6 fused to RFP strongly inhibits HIV-1 release in a dominant-negative manner (Bettina Strack and Heinrich Göttlinger, unpublished observation). It therefore came as a surprise that CHMP6, the ESCRT-III subunit activated by ESCRT-II to trigger ESCRT-III assembly,45 is not required for HIV-1 budding.41 It is possible that activated CHMP proteins such as CHMP6-RFP sequester other ESCRT-III components that are directly involved in HIV-1 release. CHMP3 is also dispensable for HIV-1 budding (Alessia Zamborlini and Heinrich Göttlinger, unpublished observation), leaving only the core ESCRT-III components CHMP2 and CHMP4 as potential players in HIV-1 release. Indeed, a very recent study demonstrates that the co-depletion of CHMP2 or CHMP4 family members profoundly impairs HIV-1 release, whereas other CHMP proteins are not required.54
When overexpressed, human CHMP4A and CHMP4B polymerize into circular filaments that deform the plasma membrane into buds and tubules that emanate from the cell surface.55 Filament formation by SNF7, the yeast homolog of the three human CHMP4 proteins, is required to sequester endosomal cargo,44 and appears to be the most critical event during ESCRT-III-catalyzed membrane scission.43 Indeed, when recruited via ESCRT-II and the nucleation factor Vps20 (CHMP6), SNF7 (CHMP4A-C) was sufficient to catalyze the scission of bud necks in an in vitro reaction.23 Thus, during HIV-1 assembly, the formation of circular CHMP4 polymers within Gag-induced bud necks could in principle lead to membrane constriction and drive virus release.56 CHMP4-mediated membrane constriction in concert with Gag may also explain the observation that HIV-1 virions are often released before the Gag shell is completely assembled.57 In one model,58 which is based on the dome shape of certain CHMP2A/CHMP3 co-polymers,59 the assembly of dome-shaped CHMP4 polymers within HIV-1 buds would tighten the neck, owing to an affinity of CHMP4 for membranes, ultimately causing spontaneous fission (Fig. 1). However, the critical role of CHMP2 proteins, which recruit VPS4, also suggests an active participation of the VPS4-VTA1 complex in HIV-1 release.54 Recent live cell imaging studies reveal that ESCRT-III and VPS4 are rapidly and transiently recruited before HIV-1 particle release, which supports the notion that VPS4 has a direct role in HIV-1 budding.60; 61
Although HIV-1 relies predominantly on a PTAP-type L domain to recruit the CHMP4 fission factor via ERSCRT-I, it can also engage CHMP4 in alternative manner. As noted earlier, HIV-1 p6 harbors a secondary L domain of the LYPxnL-type, which functions as a docking site for ALIX, another early-acting factor in the ESCRT pathway.8; 15; 16 ALIX is composed of a banana-shaped Bro1 domain, a V-shaped middle domain, and a presumably unstructured proline-rich C-terminal domain (PRD) that harbors binding sites for various interaction partners.62 Through its Bro1 domain, ALIX interacts with C-terminal residues of the human CHMP4 proteins.8; 15; 16; 63; 64 ALIX thus directly links HIV-1 Gag to ESCRT-III.
The central V domain of ALIX harbors the binding site for the LYPxnL-type L domains in HIV-1 p6Gag and EIAV p9Gag.63; 65 Interestingly, the LYPxnL motif in HIV-1 p6Gag (n = 3) adopts a helical main chain conformation when bound to ALIX, whereas the EIAV L domain (n = 1) is bound in an extended conformation.66 Although the conserved residues in the LYPxnL-type L domains of HIV-1 and EIAV make equivalent interactions with ALIX, HIV-1 p6Gag has a significantly lower affinity for ALIX than EIAV p9Gag.66 Presumably, the difference in affinity is related to the fact that HIV-1 p6Gag also has a docking site for ESCRT-I, whereas EIAV relies solely on ALIX for budding.
HIV-1 budding can be potently inhibited by dominant-negative ALIX fragments, as long as a V domain capable of mediating ALIX dimerization is maintained.8; 67; 68 Dominant-negative ALIX fragments also induce Gag processing defects resembling those seen in the absence of a functional L domain.8; 67 However, mutations in the ALIX binding site of HIV-1 p6Gag generally have more modest effects on HIV-1 release and replication than mutations that disrupt the TSG101 binding site.63; 69 Also, HIV-1 p6Gag-mediated budding was significantly less affected by ALIX depletion than EIAV p9Gag-mediated budding.16 Overall, these findings are consistent with the notion that HIV-1 p6Gag contains a bipartite L domain in which the TSG101 binding site predominates, but does not account for all of the budding activity.70
Remarkably, the release and infectivity of HIV-1 mutants that lack the PTAP L domain can be dramatically stimulated by overexpressing ALIX.63; 71 This implies that ALIX, if expressed at sufficiently high levels, can essentially fully substitute for TSG101 in HIV-1 budding. As expected, the ALIX-mediated rescue is dependent on a V domain capable of binding to LYPxnL.63 Moreover, the presence of an intact LYPxnL motif in p6Gag is required, confirming that this motif constitutes a genuine L domain that functions through ALIX.63; 71 The activity of ALIX also depends on the ability of its Bro1 domain to interact with CHMP4, implying that the recruitment of this fission factor is crucial for ALIX-mediated HIV-1 budding. In contrast, interaction sites for TSG101, endophilin, CIN85, CMS/CD2AP, and CEP55 in the PRD of ALIX are dispensable for its function in HIV-1 budding.24; 63; 71 Nevertheless, the very C-terminus of the PRD is essential,24; 63; 71 apparently because PRD-dependent ALIX multimerization is required to promote HIV-1 budding.24
It has recently emerged that HIV-1 Gag harbors a second binding site for ALIX in the NC domain,72; 73 in addition to the LYPxnL ALIX binding site in p6. ALIX interacts with HIV-1 NC via its N-terminal Bro1 domain 72; 73 and the widely divergent Bro1 domains of other human proteins share an affinity for HIV-1 NC, indicating that NC recognizes a structural feature of the Bro1 domain rather than a specific sequence.74 The ability of NC to interact with Bro1 domains depends on two conserved CCHC-type zinc finger motifs in NC that are also required for the selective packaging of genomic viral RNA during assembly.72; 74 Nevertheless, nucleic acid does not appear to be involved in the ALIX-NC interaction, because the interaction was maintained in the presence of nuclease.72 Interestingly, mutations that disrupt the ALIX binding site in NC cause defects in Gag processing and HIV-1 release resembling those typically seen with HIV-1 L domain mutants.72 Furthermore, electron microscopy analyses of Rous sarcoma virus and HIV-1 NC mutants have revealed budding defects similar to those of L domain mutants.75; 76 Together, these observations suggest that NC may play a role in ESCRT engagement and virus release, in addition to its previously documented role in virus assembly.77
PPxY-type L domains serve as docking sites for the WW domains of NEDD4 family ubiquitin ligases, and ultimately depend on the ESCRT pathway for function.17; 78 However, how NEDD4-type ubiquitin ligases connect to the ESCRT membrane fission machinery remains unknown. The nine human family members all possess an N-terminal C2 domain involved in membrane binding, multiple WW domains, and a C-terminal catalytic HECT domain. PPxY-mediated virus budding requires the engagement of a NEDD4 family member with a catalytically active HECT domain,17 but the functionally relevant target for ubiquitin attachment is uncertain. At least in principle, PPxY-mediated budding does not depend on the presence of ubiquitin acceptor sites in Gag,79; 80 which suggests the existence of an unknown cellular target.
Surprisingly, even though HIV-1 Gag lacks PPxY motifs, HIV-1 L domain mutants can be potently rescued by NEDD4L/NEDD4-2, particularly by a specific isoform with a naturally truncated C2 domain (termed NEDD4-2s).81; 82 Most regions of HIV-1 Gag, including all L domains, are known to be dispensable for the NEDD4L-mediated rescue, which in that regard differs clearly from the rescue mediated by ALIX.81; 82 The truncated C2 domain of NEDD4-2s functions as an autonomous HIV-1 Gag targeting module, and is sufficient to transfer the ability to stimulate HIV-1 budding to other NEDD4 family members, and even to their isolated catalytic HECT domains.83 The rescue of HIV-1 budding does not correlate with the overall levels of Gag ubiquitination, but rather with the synthesis of a particular type of chain in which ubiquitin molecules are linked through lysine 63.83 Ubiquitin chains of this type can serve as specific signals for the ESCRT-dependent sorting of cargo,84 and thus provide a possible link to the ESCRT membrane scission machinery. In a physiological context, NEDD4L may contribute to HIV-1 budding from cells with relatively low ESCRT-I levels, since the depletion of endogenous NEDD4L further reduced the residual release of HIV-1 L domain mutants.82
Although remarkable progress has been made in identifying the major cellular players involved in HIV-1 release, important questions remain to be addressed. For instance, it remains a mystery how ESCRT-I connects to ESCRT-III during HIV-1 budding, given that ESCRT-II is not required. Also, the mechanism by which ESCRT-III catalyzes membrane fission without being consumed in the reaction remains to be fully determined. Unlike topologically equivalent cellular budding events during yeast MVB biogenesis, HIV-1 budding depends only on a subset of core ESCRT-III components,54 but the reason for this difference is not known. It also is not entirely clear why HIV-1 maintains both a TSG101 binding site and a low-affinity ALIX binding site in p6, whereas some other primate lentiviruses appear to rely exclusively on a high-affinity interaction site for ALIX. Finally, it has recently emerged that certain HIV-1 Gag constructs do not depend on the ESCRT pathway for the efficient production of virus-like particles.85 Thus, a full understanding of why native HIV-1 Gag is so exquisitely dependent on the ESCRT machinery is still lacking.

from what I read and see about this game it seems when youre in town theres an object that will teleport you ANYWHHERE you wanna go? is that so? thats pretty lame I mean so theyll be no running/riding from one town, across the lands to the next or exploring on foot? I mean sure Im 100% sure you CAN if you WANT too but how mmany peopel are gonna wanna do that if they can just get "warped" everywhere they wanna go? I mean there sgotta be some incentive to run from point a to point b or some incentive to ride a chocobo/airship.. I mean I dont wanna go out exploring the land and its baren of people running aroudn in it looking like a ghost town or a game that n oones plays due to the fact that everyone is just teleporting everywhere they wanna go lol.
Also doesnt there new "weapon systtem" sound unbalanced? I mean your "job" is ddetermined by the type of weapon youre using? so if Im holding a dagger Im a thf (with all the agility and evasion that comes with it), then 2 secs later I toss on a staff (or club?) and now Im a white mage and start curing myself then toss my daggers back on and Im a thf again?
"Imagine what FFXI woudl be like iof you could change jobs in mid fight liek that? Oh no Im a thf, my evasion rocks... uhoh I just took 800 damage,, lemme change to whm.... yay now Im a whm curesself for 800 hp, yay Im fully healed again, uhoh I just got a link... uill fix that.. changes to beastmaster chramsd link and has it fight my current target untril my pet (or it) dies, then change back to thf and start my evasion processes all over again."
I mmean doesnt that seem way to easyu and too easy to exploit?

The Earth goes around the sun!
The Earth goes around the sun!
The Earth goes around, the Earth goes around,
the Earth goes around the sun!
- A song sung by 4-year-old daughter
Excuse me if I find the latest "poll" hard to believe:
One adult American in five thinks the Sun revolves around the Earth, an idea science had abandoned by the 17th century.
Sorry, I don't believe it.
I do believe that a large number of Americans are innumerate and have problems with scientific concepts. But I don't believe that one in five don't know this simple scientific fact that my own preschooler knows. I chalk this up to yet another poll that is trying to push an agenda. In this case, the agenda is that Americans are stupid and can't make decisions for themselves. The solution to this "problem" is to put specially selected smart people in places of power to make all the decisions for all the stupid people.
In other words, it's a Leftist position. So excuse me if I find this poll B.S.

Too Much Space At Top Of Embedded CodeAsked by lee79118 on March 10, 2016 at 11:21 AM
I've embedded a form on a web page, but there is a lot of space above the form on the web page. How can I remove the space. I've done all I know to do with CSS settings. There doesn't seem to be any other element above the code.
Thanks!!! Lee
JotForm Support
It seems that you have fixed the issue on the webpage. As I check the webpage now, the top alignment of the form is now changed.
I see that the top margin and padding on the form are set to 0 now. If you are referring to something different, please let us know. We will be happy to help.
Thank you!

Just this week, Famitsu revealed some more information regarding the Armoury System in Final Fantasy XIV. Specifically, they elaborated on a few of the classes that will be available to players. Following the pattern set by Square Enix so far, the names are somewhat different than what players have come to expect from the Final Fantasy series. While classes such as Lancer and Archer have made appearances, Pugilist and Thaumaturge are newcomers that are causing some debate.
Why is Square Enix opting for these strange class names? What ever happened to Warriors, Mages and Monks? Is this a Final Fantasy game, or what?
To get a better idea of what is going on here, I thought it may be interesting to take a look at the Japanese side of development, where the pattern is a little more clear. Perhaps we can get some better insight into the developers' reasoning behind these changes, and some hints at what Final Fantasy XIV is aiming to become.

Anthony Ranaudo
August 17, 2010 by staff
Anthony Ranaudo, LSU has lost a pitcher and quarterback. Zach Lee has signed a contract with the Dodgers in Los Angeles.
"This was a very personal decision of Zach and his family," Miles said LSU by LSU Athletic Department. "This opportunity was too difficult to pass. We want Zach and his family the best. It is an exceptional young man and hope to become a great major league pitcher."
Bryan Lazare TigerBait reports that two sports stars and receive about 4 million as a signing bonus, well above the 1.2 million slot and Lee, the No. 28 overall in the 2010 Major League Baseball draft on last June. And it could be even more money than that. A source said that Lee ESPNLosAngeles.com bond is between 5 and 6 million dollars. Steven Henson of Yahoo Sports reports the contract is 5.25 million over five years.
In McKinney (Texas) High School, Lee's right hand had 11 victories, a 2.15 ERA and 90 strikeouts in his last year on the mound. On the football field, Lee went from 2565 yards and 31 touchdowns, with an additional nine rushing touchdowns in 2009.
Is expected to serve as LSU's third string quarterback as a true freshman this fall, Lee had been in Baton Rouge in preparation for the season with the Tigers but did not attend football practice this afternoon, negotiations continued with the Dodgers .
For Paul Mainieri and the LSU baseball team, the day was even more costly.
As expected, the ace right-hander Anthony Ranaudo the Tigers, the second pick of the Red Sox in the first round of compensation (38th overall), signed a professional contract on Monday. Ranaudo and adviser Scott Boras demanded money from the premium normally reserved for a peak in the top ten and whites to accept a bond and 2.25 million, a total far greater than the 850,000 slots and that point in project.
Ranaudo was designed as a high-round pick before an elbow injury cost him weeks of playing time during the 2010 season with the Tigers. He struggled to rediscover his best form Whe returned at the end of the year, registering an ERA of 7.32 in 51 entries and 2/3rds.
Delgado and outfielder Luke LeBlanc Garin Cecchini, Barbe High infielder both opted to sign with the Boston Red Sox.
Sources tell NewOrleans.Com / Sports that LeBlanc, 11th Selection of Boston this year, may have received close to 500 000 to sign, and 325,000 after rejecting last week.
The Lockport native and former star of Central Lafourche hit .420 with 11 homers and 67 and was named first team Junior College All-American and was named to the NJCAA All-Region 23 team.
Cecchini reached agreement today with the Red Sox for one and 1.31 million. It was the Red Sox pick up the whole room and received money beyond the usual amount slot where he was drafted.
Essentially, Boston Cecchini paid as a first round because it is where they probably have been selected had he not suffered a torn ACL in his last year in Lake Charles.
Kevin Gausman, another draft of the Dodgers (6th round) and signatory of LSU, has informed the school and did not sign. Gausman rejected a seven-figure bonus to stay with the Tigers.
The hard-throwing pitcher Grandview, Colorado reaches the mid-upper-90s with his fastball. He was the seventh best prospect in baseball entering school 2010, Baseball America.

Is This The Same Carnoustie?
I have to admit – I'd much rather see the winner of a major finish somewhere between eight and 12 under par than one of those USGA "Who can make the most par" tournaments.
With that said, however, this Carnoustie just isn't really the same. Everyone was talking about Car-nasty (my least favorite nickname in the history of golf) before the week began, but it's Saturday and 28 people are under par at the moment. If that isn't enough, Steve Stricker just posted 64, the competitive course record at Carnoustie.
So far Sergio is cruising along, making two birdies through eight holes, but still has the back nine of the golf course with the possibility of someone posting six or seven under nearly two hours before he finishes.
Tiger Woods finished with a two-under 69, probably not what he wanted given the weather conditions. Ernie Els would be having a wonderful afternoon if not for his Yogi Berra eight on number six.
Tiger might have said it best during his post round interview, criticizing the false weather forecasts we continue to get at Carnoustie. I've heard torrential rains, heavy winds, tornados and the possibility of a typhoon in the area and all they've had is perfect weather.

Strategic planning techniques: getting work done on time and on budgetby Austeja Pranculyte, Project Administrator
16th Aug 2017
Social media is all about engaging with your customers, listening to what they have to have to say, helping them share, and building a rapport. This blog post explains 5 quick and easy ways to incorporate social elements into your website and business – and there's no cost involved, just a few minutes of your time.
1. Facebook Like
Enable users to quickly share and recommend your products/services by adding sharing buttons. The buttons can also be used to help promote your Facebook Page too. This social network behemoth has over 500 million active users. Why wouldn't you want your visitors to your website to 'Like' or share your page with their friends?
So is it easy to add? Well in its most basic form it is. In fact Facebook provides helpful code formation wizards to help you out. Check out the full list of Facebook social plugins which includes the Facebook Like button as well as options to also add:
2. LinkedIn Shares
LinkedIn has 101 million members worldwide and over 5 million of those are in the UK. The professional identify network also has a LinkedIn.com Share Button ready to be added to your site. This allows your visitors to share your page with their network on LinkedIn with ease.
LinkedIn also allows you to communicate with people in your industry on Linkedin Groups or you could create your own. Much like Facebook, LinkedIn gives you a selection of easy integration options on their Plugins page.
3. Microblogging
The king of microblogging is Twitter. Twitter is perfect for communicating directly with others whilst also helping with sharing. According to Hitwise, Twitter accounts for 1 in every 184 UK visits online. Creating an account is quick and free.
Much like the Facebook Like and Linkedin Share options, Twitter has many tweet button options. Twitter's official buttons can be added to your pages with ease. Simply choose your button and enter your Twitter account as reference and the code is displayed ready to embed on your site. Here is the Tweet button builder. Other popular buttons include Tweetmeme's retweet button.
4. Blogging
A blog allows you to easily publish updates about your company, your opinions and any other form of interesting content. Blogs generally come with a comments system straight out the box. This allows your readers to get involved and add comments to your news and views.
While from an SEO standpoint it's good to have a blog incorporated into your website's hierarchy it doesn't have to be complicated. There are plenty of third party options which just require a link from your website once set up. A number of blogging providers also provide widgets so that you can embed your lastest posts in a feed. Popular free blogging platforms include WordPress and Blogger.
5. Feedback
If you're interested in finding out what your users think about your services and products you could add a Feedback button from Get Satisfaction. The button available from Get Satisfaction can be added to any page you like. This allows visitors to leave public suggestions and comments about your website/services. This community site allows to you to find out what they like, or dislike, as well as providing suggestions, which in-turn allows you to improve your service. Be warned though, feedback could be both good and bad!
A free account will get you the basic options. Simply register and add your website details. You will then be provided with the code to go on your site.
Bonus tip: It's what you do with it that counts
As well as promoting your social presence on your website it doesn't have to stop there. Don't forget to promote your active accounts on:
While I've added a range of quick social building options here which are commonplace and standard fare, we recommend you define your social strategy to see whether it fits in with your goals and objectives. Or why not get in touch and let us help you with a Social Media workshop. Don't just do social for the sake of it.
Data sources:
I've had these buttons on my website for over s year and I have tried them in a number of different places but they seldom get used. Is there a 'best practice' location on a page for optimum use by visitors?
You can add them in prominent position on the page, but not enough to distract from primary goals such as product purchase/enquiry. You could also add a call to action near the buttons to encourage use. Such as "Share" or "Recommend". Sites like Techcrunch.com float their sharing options in a fixed position on the page. This helps them to be noticeable on long posts and means that they're always visible without distracting from the main content.
What are the down sides to the Facebook like button? As a school you can appreciate that we have to be really careful but I would like to investigate these opportunities further.
Hi Jackie. Thanks for your comment. I can't inherently see any negative impact of a Like button since it all depends on which content you add it to, i.e., news and events items. What would be more interesting is the potential to create/control community elements on Facebook and encourage engagement this way. I would recommend a social workshop at Further to discuss Facebook potential and opportunities.

Foreclosure decrease indicates unpromising future for the market
August 3, 2011 by admin
Filed under Foreclosure decrease indicates unpromising future for the market
Foreclosure decrease indicates unpromising future for the market
In the first half of this year, foreclosure files have decreased both locally and nationally, but this doesn't necessarily mean that the market is recovering. Across the country from January to June, foreclosures decreased 30%. The number of foreclosures was the lowest in the second season of this year since the end of 2007.
However, such a drop in foreclosures doesn't necessarily indicate a better economic situation. It does, however, speak about the prolonged process of foreclosure. In fact, as a result of the delayed process of foreclosure, most foreclosure actions that should be done this year, may be postponed to next year 2012, which means we still need to worry about the future of the housing market.
It is suspected that such a drop in foreclosures resulted from a joint effort of banks in holding back their progress. The "shadow market", in which vacant properties owned by banks have not been listed for sale, grew a year ago, and some companies even rushed to deceptive foreclosures. However, such holding back caused by bank-imposed moratoriums seems to be ended now, and now, banks are holding back because of the expiration of government's homebuyer tax credit.
If you have more questions about foreclosure and short sales, please contact Housing Assistant of America, http://www.housingassist.com/, 1-888-877- 0078.
