Here's a few interesting links from around the web.
Voting for the Golden Joystick Awards 2009 has begun. Fallout 3 is nominated in five categories: Ultimate Game of the Year, PC Game of the Year, PlayStation Game of the Year, Xbox Game of the Year, and Soundtrack of the Year. Additionally, Bethesda is nominated for Publisher of the Year, and Rogue Warrior is nominated in the The One to Watch category.
Speaking of Rogue Warrior, Inc Gamers has a video interview with Senior Producer Sean Griffiths. Elsewhere, Ron Burke at Gaming Trend has new previews up for both Rogue Warrior and WET.
In WET news, a new interview with Patrick Fortier is up at Team Xbox
At SPOnG, there's a new interview with Pete. Here's an excerpt of Pete discussing Fallout 3's new level cap — hitting tomorrow with Broken Steel:
SPOnG: Will there be enough quest experience to be had in Broken Steel for players to level up to 30 without having to grind on pre-DLC quests/enemies?
Pete Hines: No, probably not, and that wasn't the intention. The intention was to remove the level cap so that if you have Broken Steel, regardless of whether you want to play that quest or not, or you want to start a new game from scratch, you can continue playing beyond level 20. Again, fans wanted to be able to take their characters to higher levels, so we included it. But it is not specific to the length of Broken Steel, at all. It is a very long climb to get from 20 to 30 and you'll need to do a LOT to get there.
Finally, Pittsburgh City Paper talked about The Pitt with Emil. Read it here.

Chris Randall has released an updated version of his nice stereoizing delay, pitchshifter, modulator named Discord. This plug-in always reminds me of the effect Meat Beat Manifesto used on breakbeats on their early albums.
"The pitch-shifter consists of three separate algorithms: a "vintage" mode (the original Discord algorithm, modeled on the Eventide H910 and H949), a "clean" mode for more modern shifting sounds, and a "granular" mode for experimental effects. Each mode has its strengths, depending on the input material, and Discord3 has a broad palette of capabilities as a result. The P1 and P2 algorithms have full control over the buffer (window) size of the shift effect, for fine tuning the shift to the input signal, or for stranger sound effects. At the extremes of the six-octave shift range, some truly strange aliasing and artifacts can be had with this control. Now, to be clear, if you're looking for a nice, clean diatonic pitch shifter for fine surgery and re-pitching the full program, you need to look elsewhere. Discord3 is a tool for sound design, barberpole shifting delays, and special effects; think Eno, Visconti, Bowie, or Dirty Mind-era Prince and you'll be on the right track." – audiodamage.com

ONE of Swindon's oldest sports clubs is preparing for an open weekend.
Tomorrow and Sunday Swindon Town Gardens Bowls Club will open its doors to all comers.
The club, founded in 1912 and tucked away in a corner of the park, aims to introduce people of all backgrounds to a sport open to anybody with a pair of flat-soled shoes.
Visitors, who will be welcomed between noon and 4pm on both days, will have the chance to meet other members and do some bowling.
Social secretary Sue Gravell said: "The aim is to promote the club, to try to obtain new members and to show Old Town that we're part of the community."
Sue stressed the community role of the club, which has about 50 members. It organises regular bowls days for local groups, from students to support organisations. It has also taken part in the Old Town Festival and Swindon Mela.
Fixtures secretary Eric Bates said the open day would be a chance for the club to demonstrate the wide appeal of the sport and dispel some clichés.
He added: "Just recently there was a move by the Government to make all of us look at our pension pot and to see whether there was a better way of using our pensions.
"The first thing they showed on the television was two old boys pushing woods up a green as a background to this.
"We can do without that. We're not just a bunch of old fogies putting a couple of bowls up a green on nice sunny afternoons.
"We have people from the age of 16 and 17 up to 80. We have people with children, people who are retired, people who are working.
"It's going to be a very unstuffy two days. It's really just a case of putting a mat down, putting a jack up and saying, 'Go on, have a go.' "It's a good atmosphere and the public will be made welcome and given all the help we possibly can."

Protect your special event
Whether it's a family reunion, a wedding, or even your company picnic, the key to any successful event is planning ahead—which includes planning for the unexpected. Most homeowners or other liability insurance policies don't provide coverage at catering halls or other public facilities, and coverage purchased through the venue can be unnecessarily costly.
Special Event insurance through your Alumni Insurance Program can provide up to $2 million of coverage, offering reasonably priced protection against liability for injuries and damage to property —as well as losses that may be incurred by third parties such as paid entertainers. Event Cancellation insurance can prevent you from losing money on non-reimbursable expenses and non-refundable deposits if you are forced to cancel or postpone your event due to unforeseen circumstances.
Coverage is available for events held anywhere in the United States, its territories and possessions, plus Puerto Rico, Canada, The United Kingdom, Mexico, The Bahamas, Bermuda, and the Carribean (excluding Cuba).
Special Event insurance is ideal for private events, corporate/business events, and other group gatherings like non-profit fundraisers. It helps safeguard your investment so you don't lose deposits, incur additional expenses, or suffer liabilities.
The Alumni Insurance program offers two types of event insurance:
Event Cancellation insurance can be purchased up to 15 days before your event date. Policies include reimbursement for:
Event liability insurance can be purchased up to one day before your event date and includes protection against liability involving:
You can add your venue as an Additional Insured on your Event Liability policy - at no additional charge. Event cancellation and event liability can be purchased together for total event insurance protection—and a 15% discount (10% in AK and FL).
Special Event Insurance through your Alumni Insurance Program can provide up to $2 million of coverage
Even small companies can now offer group health, dental, and vision insurance to employees.

Snoop Dogg Shares Hilarious List of Reasons Why You Should Vote Obama + Not Romney
If after watching the presidential debates, you're still undecided on who to vote for in the November elections, then let Snoop Dogg (aka Snoop Lion) help you out.
The veteran rhyme-slinger posted on Instagram his handwritten Top 10 list of reasons he's against Mitt Romney and for President Obama. While some of the commenters are calling Snoop a bigot for his list, we are sure that he was just having fun with his followers.
Among the top 10 things Snoop writes on why he's not voting for Romney includes: "No. 4. He(sic) a ho." At No. 7, he jots, "He always interrupts and talks over people like he's better than them. B—-, I will beat the s— out of you." And the kicker, at No. 8, "He's a Mormon but he ain't got no h—." WTH?
On the flip side, Snoop's 10 reasons of why he's voting for President Obama is hilarious as well. Among his points include "No. 3. That n—a look like he can fight." At No. 5, he writes, "Michelle got a fat a–." And finally, at No. 10, he states, "I seen that n—a hoop before and he got a jumper." LOL!
Clearly, all of this is in jest, but it did sparked some mixed reactions on Snoop's Instagram page. One commenter wrote, "This is your best post by far! Big up Rasta!," while another follower was very disappointed in Snoop. "This is so stupid, and your not cool or funny for making a joke about our country's future," the person writes. "I hope you actually get a brain one day, because I can't handle your ignorance."
All jokes aside, we encourage everyone to exercise their right to vote — either for Mitt Romney or President Obama — on Election Day (Nov. 6). Fo rizzle, my dizzle.
Apparently, the joke is on us. According to XXLMag.com, Snoop Dogg did not write this list but rather a fan, under the Twitter name @DragonflyJonez, was the actual author. "That's y I'm votn @barackobama! Hahhahaha. Shoutout to @dragon," he tweeted.
What do you think of the list? Tell us in the comments below.

Cards tab rookie Lyons to start Wednesday
ST. LOUIS -- Manager Mike Matheny announced on Sunday that the Cardinals will have left-hander Tyler Lyons start against the Padres on Wednesday in place of Jaime Garcia, who has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a left shoulder injury.
Lyons will join the team in San Diego in advance of the start but will not be added to the 40- and 25-man rosters until Wednesday. That will allow the Cardinals to utilize an eight-man bullpen before sending a reliever down to Triple-A.
The Cardinals' decision to tab Lyons as Garcia's replacement was based upon a variety of factors. The timing was ideal given that Lyons' next scheduled start for Memphis was to be on Wednesday. Also, the Cardinals did not feel that any of the pitchers in their bullpen with extensive starting experience -- Carlos Martinez, Seth Maness and Joe Kelly -- would have the arm strength necessary to pitch deep into a game this soon.
"Not having them built up definitely takes away from them being viable options," Matheny said. "Being able to get them back to that point whether through extended innings here or anything else we need to do is still an option for us. But as far as getting somebody there in the next four days is pretty tough."
When the Cardinals choose who to unplug from the bullpen to open a roster spot for Lyons, they'll likely consider sending someone down who can begin building back up as a starter. That will give the club more flexibility in finding help as the season progresses.
Lyons, who was a participant in big league camp this spring, has a 4.47 ERA in eight Triple-A starts this season. He has struck out 38 and walked nine in 46 1/3 innings.
The Cardinals considered pitching prospect Michael Wacha as a possibility for the spot start, too, before settling on Lyons. The club made its decision focused on finding a short-term fill-in rather than long-term help. With Jake Westbrook moving closer to returning to the rotation, the Cardinals may only need a placeholder in the rotation for one or two starts. Chris Carpenter could also be in the picture within a few weeks.
Lyons will become the third rookie starter, joining Shelby Miller and John Gast, in the Cardinals' rotation when he arrives.

"But everyone else has one!"
How to tell when your kids are ready for their first camera, iPod®, and more
Mike Colley started working for Crutchfield in 1990 as an Advisor, helping customers with their questions and purchases. He later transitioned to writing and editing for our catalogs and websites. Mike has a Stanford degree in Religious Studies, and is a musician and digital studio engineer.
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
Deciding when your child is ready for his first camera or her first iPod isn't quite like following the American Pediatric Association's guidelines on when to introduce strawberries or peanuts. Instead, parents have to do what they do each and every day — use their best judgment and try to do the right thing.
However, it does help to get input from other parents, as well as experts in other areas. So we've polled Crutchfield's product experts, as well as Crutchfield parents, and put together the following tips to help you introduce these gizmos sensibly and safely when your kids are ready for them.
|"When my first-grader wanted a camera, I thought about her level of responsibility, whether she tends to drop or lose things, and her interest in picture-taking."
A first camera
This is a fun one for kids; they love the thrill of instant gratification they get from taking a picture and immediately checking out the results. Even better, today's digital cameras are very affordable indeed — you can find impressive shooting power for $150 and less. Last but not least, cameras are a great size for small hands and little fingers.
Most folks we asked reported that they began sharing their camera with their kids starting around age five or six. Some gave their child a hand-me-down — either a point-and-shoot camera that they were replacing with a newer model, or a camera bought used from a friend or neighbor. And several of them bought a new camera and made it the main gift at a birthday or holiday.
For example, when my first-grader wanted a camera, I thought about her level of responsibility, whether she tends to drop or lose things, and her interest in picture-taking. I also made sure she knew some ground rules about not intruding on others' privacy and not bragging to friends. I ended up choosing a lightweight, affordable, but nice-quality point-and-shoot in a fun color (red). Mom handles the transfer to the computer and printing.
Overall, here are our tips for choosing a camera for a kid: we like models with image stabilization, so kids have an easier time keeping their shots steady and blur-free. If the model you choose comes with a rechargeable battery, consider buying an extra one that you can keep charged and ready-to-go. And as with all cameras, buy a memory card — the camera's included memory is unlikely to hold more than a few photos.
First camera summary:
- Typical age: Around age 6 and up
- You know they're ready if: They're polite, responsible, and have an interest in photography
- Features to look for: Affordable price, image stabilization, and fun color
"My youngest daughter got an iPod shuffle at eight. She had a real interest in music, and I made sure she wouldn't play it too loud and wouldn't overuse it or use it inappropriately."
A first MP3 player
With so many adults carrying their MP3 players everywhere, it should be no surprise that kids are asking for them too. Most folks we asked said they'd felt their kids were ready by the time they were eight to ten, although some of that decision depended on the age of the child and the type of player; most parents weren't handing over an iPod® touch to their fifth-graders.
What else did parents look for in their kids before making the decision? A love of music and readiness to use the player responsibly topped the list. Michael Sokolowski told us, "My youngest daughter got an iPod shuffle at eight. She had a real interest in music, and I made sure she wouldn't play it too loud and wouldn't overuse it or use it inappropriately."
Crutchfield audio veteran Dave Bar added the following: "You can use the parental volume lock-out feature for younger kids to prevent hearing loss. I'd also invest in some rugged aftermarket head/earphones; the stock iPod earbuds are worthless and weak, and won't make it to your kid's next birthday (or even next week if you give them to my son)."
Do make sure you've talked to your kids about this purchase before you buy — they may have a very specific idea which player they want, in which finish, and you don't want the "big gift" to be a flop because you picked the wrong color.
One last reminder we'd offer is to invest in a protective case; the question is not "when will the player get dropped"but "how often?"A protective case can lengthen lifespan considerably, and there are tons of fun cases in cool colors.
First MP3 player summary:
- Typical age: Around age 8 and up
- You know they're ready if: They're responsible and love music
- Features to look for: Durability, the right color, and upgraded headphones
A first TV
The parents we spoke to were unanimous about one thing: there was no point (before college) at which they felt it was a good time to give a child a TV.
Robert, dad to two boys, told us, "I subscribe to the crazy theory that there's no reason for kids to have a TV in their room. Sure, it would be a great luxury, but we already have two TVs in the house, and that's enough for us."
Turns out his instincts are backed up by a lot of research: An October 2007 report in Pediatrics found an association between having a TV in a child's bedroom and sleep problems. In addition, a 2005 study in The Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine indicated that children with TVs in their bedrooms often had lower grades. More generally, many studies suggest that kids perform better in school and stay healthier overall when the content they are watching is monitored and the hours of viewing are carefully limited.
So what to do when no one in the family can agree on what to unwind with? Our suggestion is to add a TV, not to a child's bedroom, but to the parents' bedroom. That gives parents a place to escape and settle down with their favorite show, while letting the kids watch their pick in a common area where viewing may be monitored. It's a nice way to offer a little more autonomy to growing kids (we're thinking pre-teens and teens) without letting a TV invade their personal space.

U.S. corn futures are expected to start lower Tuesday on better-than expected condition ratings for the crop.
Traders predict corn for December delivery, the most-actively traded contract, will drop 2 cents to 3 cents a bushel at the start of trading at the Chicago Board of Trade. In overnight electronic trading, the contract slipped 1 1/2 cents, or 0.2%, to $6.84 1/4 a bushel.
Prices came under pressure after the U.S. Department of Agriculture, in a weekly report issued after the close of trading Monday, kept its good-to-excellent rating for the overall corn crop unchanged from last week. The steady outlook was a surprise as prices had climbed Monday in anticipation of a decline in ratings.
Yet, the market should not collapse as declining ratings for individual corn-producing states show the crop has deteriorated in key growing areas. The good-to-excellent rating dropped six percentage points from last week in Illinois to 53% and five percentage points in Iowa to 75%.
"Monday's crop-progress report presented a curious picture: While nationwide ratings were unchanged, state-by-state totals told a different story," said Bryce Knorr, analyst for Farm Futures, an agricultural publication.
Traders are keeping a close eye on condition ratings amid uncertainty about the impact of hot weather on the crop last month. Traders are waiting for the USDA to update its output forecasts next week to see whether the government indicates the high temperatures caused significant damage.
The unchanged condition rating Monday could decrease the odds of the USDA lowering its yield forecast in the Aug. 11 crop report, according to MF Global. The company said traders were "dialing in lower corn yields than USDA's July forecast, but crop conditions this week and next will have significant bearing on whether the estimate is changed from last month."
Some analysts are already projecting the USDA will lower its outlook. Susquehanna International Group, a trading firm, expects the government to trim its yield forecast by 1 bushel to 2 bushels an acre from its July estimate of 158.7 bushels an acre.
Traders are waiting for other private firms to issue forecasts, as well. Brokerage firm FCStone is set to issue corn and soy output estimates around 4 p.m. EDT Tuesday, while analytical firm Informa Economics is slated to release estimates later this week.

The New School
NEW DATE Public Art Fund Talks at The New School - Between Art and Architecture: Oscar Tuazon
This event has been rescheduled and will now be held on Wednesday, November 28. All tickets for September 26 will be honored. We apologize for any inconvenience.
The built environment has long been a source of inspiration to contemporary artists. From Gordon Matta-Clark's abandoned building "cuts" to Doris Salcedo's site-specific interventions and Dan Graham's Pavilions, artists have utilized architecture as a means to engage the public. This fall, Public Art Fund presents a series of talks by a new generation of artists whose work engages the built environment as both a point of departure and source of inspiration. Drawing on elements of architectural and design history-including Modernism, Brutalism, and even DIY construction-these artists address the psychological, social, and cultural significance of the urban landscape.
Oscar Tuazon's large-scale sculptures and architectural interventions address architecture, minimalism, and utilitarian constructions of outsider communities. Comprised of a combination of natural and industrial elements, his structures deal with the structural limits of materials, creating tension with the spaces they inhabit. His new Public Art Fund exhibition, People, is on view at Brooklyn Bridge Park from July 18, 2012 to April 2013. The exhibition features three sculptures that respond to the park's physical landscape and incorporate concrete and tree trunks.
* * *
Oscar Tuazon was born in 1975 in Seattle, Washington and currently lives and works in Paris. He studied at the Cooper Union School of Art and attended the Whitney Museum of America Art Independent Study Program, New York. In 2011, he presented his work at the 54th Venice Biennale, and most recently, his work was included in the 2012 Whitney Biennial. Recent solo exhibitions include The Power Station, Dallas (2011); Institute of Contemporary Arts, London (2010); Künsthalle Bern (2010); Künstlerhaus Stuttgart (2010); Seattle Art Museum (2008); and the Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2007).
* Public Art Fund Talks at The New School are organized by the Public Art Fund in collaboration with the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School, presented on occasion of the Vera List Center's 2011-2013 focus theme "Thingness."

SARATOGA SPRINGS -- With the arrest of two alleged drug dealers at Jefferson Terrace in the last month, Saratoga Springs Police Lt. John Catone said the department has "taken care of a major portion of the drug distribution from the Jefferson and Vanderbilt Terrace complexes."
Elizabeth J. Loreman, 54, was arrested after the Saratoga Springs Police Department's Narcotics Unit raided her house Friday afternoon after a months-long investigation into alleged drug dealing there.
Loreman was hit with various felony drug charges related to her alleged dealing of crack, powdered cocaine and heroin out of her apartment in the Jefferson Terrace complex. She was in City Court Tuesday for an appearance, but her case was adjourned until Aug. 7. Meanwhile, she is being held at Saratoga County Jail on $20,000 cash or $40,000 bail bond.
Last month the department also arrested Royal Hamilton, 31, of the Bronx, who Catone said was also suspected of being involved in drug dealing.
Hamilton, according to police, was wanted on a violent felony warrant for robbery in the Bronx, so once they identified him, they arrested him based on that warrant rather than drug charges.
These arrests come weeks after security at the terraces became a topic of conversation at the Saratoga Springs Housing Authority Board of Commissioners meeting.
At that meeting, members of the police department said crime was not significantly up at the Terraces, even though the full-time officer who had been assigned there in previous years was cut because of budget restraints. Since then, another officer has been assigned to patrol the Terraces during the afternoon and evening shift for the summer.
Also at that meeting, board member Al Callucci said he had serious concerns about security at the Terraces. He said he had personally witnessed drug deals at the Terraces while walking through there, something he routinely does as a board member.
When asked by another board member if he had contacted police, though, Callucci said he hadn't, stating the criminals would have been gone by the time police arrived.
Chairman Eric Weller said the Housing Authority has been cooperating with the police every chance they get. He said Executive Director Ed Spychalski is in frequent contact with the police department and they have set up a "police substation" for the officer assigned to the Terraces.
Weller does not believe there is a problem at the Terraces. "The idea there is some kind of public safety emergency there is not borne out by the numbers," he said, pointing out that there were 122 calls for service to the Terraces during a three-month span that ended in mid-July. That represented 19 more than in the same three-month period last year.
Weller said the police are responsible for safety in the Terraces and the Housing Authority has never had private security, something he would not consider "in the absence of a crisis."
Catone said if people see crime in the Terraces, they need to call the police.
"If they are asking board members to take care of problems out there, that's a problem," he said. "That's our job and we will deal with the issues over time."
He pointed out that police had been investigating Loreman's alleged drug dealing since April to gather enough evidence to obtain probable cause to search her apartment.
"These things take time," he said, "but it accomplished what we set out to do: locate drugs in the apartment, locate the people suspected of dealing them and to send a message that we're watching.
"You may not see us there every day, but at some point we'll be there."
The Saratoga Springs Police Department can be reached by calling 584-1800 or the anonymous tip line 584-TIPS (8477).

This was a tye-dye disc I did a while back, and I always wanted to put a logo, or a sun, or SOMETHING, in the middle of it. (clear Champion Wraith)
My buddy plays drums for Lionz of Zion, a rock/reggae/ ska/ hip-hop/ funk/ everything band, and they just had a new logo designed. As soon as I saw it, I knew I'd have to put it on this disc.

About Me Stylish
Comments about Sk8-Hi Slim:
I have the higher version of this shoe and some times I just want something a little lower, which this shoe does perfectly. I wear them with shorts, skirts, dresses, cropped pants, normal pants...I really dig them. I cannot comment on their durability because I haven't had them very long, but I assume they are much like other Van high-tops in that they will last a pretty good while. I recommend getting short socks, otherwise they may get stinky and you may experience chaffing. Overall, pretty cool shoes!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me Conservative
At first I was a bit skeptical in buying these shoes but once I got them I was stoked!They are stylish and you can tell they last long. Since I bought mine in all black, I can use them with anything. I really like the look the actual shoe laces give to the shoe, they literally tie the knot! Don't hesitate to buy them! Great shoe!
Sick take on a classic
By Jefe009
from Portland, OR
I've had probably 5 or 6 pairs of Sk8 Highs now. The slim version is true to the original, albeit with a slightly different sole. I wanted a black pair, and was stoked to find a pair in this black canvas, which is great for summer and breathes better than the tougher canvas/suede they used for the skate version. You can't go wrong!
I will never need another pair of shoes.
By justwhatevering
from american fork, UT
I wear these shoes literally everyday. With dresses, with jeans, with sweats. They're perfect for my life-style. I just get annoyed that i have to lace them up sometimes, but that's a pretty normal thing.
Great Shoe
By Katy
from Shawnee, Kansas
I use these shoes for working in a restaurant. They are comfy and pretty dang cool. Although I knew what I was getting with buying Vans I'd like a little more arch support for the hours I put in at work. Too bad I don't care about the support and just really like the way they look.

With the decline of mercury used in batteries, mercury-containing lamps (MCLs) and devices (MCDs) are quickly
becoming the largest sources of mercury in Florida's municipal solid waste (MSW) stream. Mercury is used in
many everyday products like fluorescent lamps, thermometers, thermostats, blood pressure manometers and pleasure
boat bilge pump float switches. Some of these products have an environmental benefit. For example, fluorescent
lamps use less energy than traditional incandescent lamps. Unless they are recycled or otherwise disposed of
properly, however, the mercury from these discarded products can contaminate the air, surface water and ground
water. Mercury contamination in Florida is most evident from the
fish consumption advisories
due to high mercury levels in certain fish in a number of Florida lakes and in the Everglades. The Florida DEP
has responded to this mercury contamination with research to better understand the problem and its causes and
with environmental controls to reduce the potential for mercury to enter the environment.
Compact fluorescent lamps reduce energy consumption and prevent greenhouse gas emissions.
Since these lamps contain a small amount of mercury that is necessary to produce fluorescent light, the lamps
should be recycled at your county's household hazardous waste program. If a compact fluorescent lamp should
accidentally break in your home, follow the cleanup guidelines listed below.

text: Riverside rides big plays past St. Albans By Tommy R. Atkinson August 24, 2012 Story Share Chris Dorst Riverside's Marcus Reed catches a touchdown in front of St. Albans' Taylor Clark. Riverside showed off its big-play capability Friday night.William Jackson returned a kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown in the opening half and added a 47-yard interception return for a score in the second half to spark the host Warriors past St. Albans 44-27 in a mutual season opener.A crowd of about 1,200 attended the Class AAA Mountain State Athletic Conference matchup at Quincy.Jackson's 47-yard interception return began a stretch of three unanswered TDs by Riverside in the third quarter that turned the Warriors' 23-13 halftime lead into a comfortable 44-13 advantage by the time the binge was over."When he turns a corner,'' said Riverside coach Ralph Hensley, "if you're not there, he'll outrun you. I think his best years are ahead of him.''After a punt by SA following Jackson's pick six, Riverside needed just three plays to score again as senior quarterback Trevor Rumberg dashed 35 yards up the middle for a score.The Warriors' defense forced another punt by the Red Dragons and four plays later, Rumberg found senior wide receiver Marcus Reed for a 27-yard TD, the pair's second of the game. The two hooked up in the first quarter on a 29-yarder in which Reed soared above the defender to wrest the ball away and come down with it while on his back in the end zone."We were better than the scrimmage at the [MSAC] Grid-o-rama,'' said the 5-foot-5, 163-pound Jackson, who finished with 170 total yards (111 return yards and 59 rushing on five carries)."That's what our main goal was - to work hard. We're practicing hard. I feel like we have more [explosive players] than we did last year. We don't have to rely on one person.''Rumberg finished with 104 yards passing and two TDs with no interceptions and added 41 yards on 10 carries and two more scores. Reed had two catches for 56 yards with two TDs. Senior tailback Aaron Halstead gained 90 yards on seven carries to spearhead a ground attack that chewed up 313 yards. This year, Riverside has two basketball players (Reed and senior defensive back Dameria Lane), a track sprinter (Jackson) and a wrestler (senior fullback Zach Cook) in the starting lineup to add athleticism across the board, which has been missing in recent years. Cook added 40 yards rushing."They made some good catches and some nice tackles back in the secondary,'' said Hensley of Reed and Lane. "I don't think we've had some to come out and really help us like that. We just hope we can stay healthy and keep improving.''The Red Dragons showed some positive signs in trying to learn first-year coach Steve Stoffel Jr.'s new spread offense.SA matched Riverside score for score in the first quarter before the game got out of hand in the second half. The teams were knotted at 14-all after Red Dragons junior quarterback Taylor Clark hit junior tight end Dakota Kelly with a 46-yard TD pass with 1:28 left in the period."We gave up too many big plays,'' said Stoffel, who was without starting senior linebacker Kevin Cantley, who earned AAA all-state second-team honors after last season, and senior kicker-safety Gavin Smith. "We did a lot of good things early. We competed for 21/2 quarters. We took some chances and gave them points.''SA senior running back Drew Kirby ground out 104 yards on 21 carries, and Clark finished 11-of-20 with 165 yards with a TD, but threw three picks. Red Dragons sophomore backup quarterback Noah Reed connected with freshman wideout Jacob Grigsby for a 77-yard run-and-catch in the final period."We're going to work at it and see if we can get better,'' Stoffel said. "I think we can.''Reach Tommy R. Atkinson at email@example.com or 304-348-4811.

MIAMI - American Airlines and US Airways say they're merging in a deal they value at $11 billion, creating the world's biggest airline.
The combined carrier will be called American Airlines but run by US Airways CEO Doug Parker.
READ: Little overlap in American, US Airways routes | What an American-US Airways merger means for you | Airline merger could squeeze some hub airports |
"We're proud to introduce you to the new American Airlines," Parker said at a news conference Thursday. "Through the merger between American and US Airways, we are creating a premier, global carrier."
The airlines announced their deal Thursday. The airline will offer more than 6,700 daily flights to 336 destinations in 56 countries. It will maintain its headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas.
"By combining the strengths of both companies, we will be delivering the most valued to our owners and the greatest benefits to our customers and our people," said Parker. "We have everything it takes to lead in this industry, and that's good news, not only for our customers, but also for our people who will benefit from being part of a company with a strong financial foundation which will create great opportunities."
"Today, we are proud to launch the new American Airlines – a premier global carrier well equipped to compete and win against the best in the world," said Tom Horton, chairman, president, and chief executive officer of American Airlines. "Together, we will be even better positioned to deliver for all of our stakeholders, including our customers, people, investors, partners, and the many communities we serve."
READ: Major events in the history of American Airlines | US Airways |
Horton will serve as chairman of the combined airlines' Board of Directors.
It reduces the number of major U.S. airlines to four. American will spend $40 billion dollars over the next five years on more than 400 brand new planes, including 15 Boeing 777-300ERs.
"The combined company will have everything we need to surpass the competition, putting American back on top of the global airline industry," said Parker.
"We knew it was going to happen. I'm excited," said Shelby Martinez, an American Airlines employee.
"Hopefully it'll be a good thing," said passenger Warren Leonhardi. "My wife and I aren't loyal to one brand of airline, so we're usually looking for value over anything else."
A U.S. bankruptcy judge must still okay the deal.

Gilead Sciences: Just How Good are Sovaldi's Sales?
Very, very good, says Citigroup's Yaron Werber and team, who expect Gilead Sciences (GILD) sales of Sovaldi to blow away expectations. They explain:
[Gilead's] Sovaldi is tracking at $484M for the first nine weeks of launch and will post $5.74B in sales for 2014 and $1.21B for Q1:14 vs. Citi $516M and Consensus $368M, if Sovaldi scrips continue at same level as the recent week without any growth. We anticipate that Sovaldi will materially exceed our and consensus ests and believe that posting >$4B-$5B in total sales in FY14 is possible. In the ninth week of launch, Sovaldi's weekly TRx and NRx were 4,051 and 2,848 respectively. While this is only the ninth week, it is still much ahead of protease inhibitor Incivek' launch which had 1,365 TRx in the ninth week of launch.
Shares of Gilead Sciences has dropped 1.3% to $81.52 at 10:33 a.m., while Amgen (AMGN) has fallen 0.3% to $123.78, Biogen Idec (BIIB) has gained 0.8% to $331.07 and Celgene (CELG) has risen 1.1% to $166.59. The SPDR S&P Biotech ETF (XBI) has advanced 0.6% to $153.43.

LOS ANGELES – Saturday arrived and so did enough opportunities to fill a Trojan Horse.
USC had opportunities from head-to-toe, all right, meaning head coach Ed Orgeron, who, unlikely as it seems right now, is interested in dropping the interim from his title, and kicker Andre Heidari, whose status likewise had begun to feel somewhat temporary.
Head-to-toe, and pretty much every spot in between, injuries and scholarship restrictions forcing inexperience and walk-ons up the depth chart and, in some cases, onto the field.
But opportunity can be a beautiful thing, a beautiful thing that becomes jaw-dropping gorgeous when seized.
And the Trojans didn't just seize their chances against Utah, they squeezed them, squeezed them and wrung them dry, in the process pinching the Utes for a 19-3 victory that was more significant than it was scintillating.
One week after failing to convert in a few key spots in a loss at Notre Dame, USC returned home and converted like crazy, including one third-quarter third down that ended a streak of 17 consecutive failed third-down conversions.
There was Orgeron, who exposed himself to second guessing with a couple decisions against the Fighting Irish, but here used a tight – if not electrifying – game plan.
There was Heidari, who entered Saturday having missed five of his past eight attempts, but here kicked a career-high four field goals.
And there were the Trojans in general, this team rushing for only 30 yards, permitting five sacks and punting seven times but winning with a defense that produced each of the game's four takeaways.
USC won using just 41 scholarship players and 10 walk-ons and with Heidari, after the first quarter, being the only player on either side to score.
"It felt good, coming out here and drilling four field goals today," Heidari said. "I feel redemption, so it's a good feeling."
Did we mention this game wasn't exactly scintillating? There was just one touchdown. It was scored by Nelson Agholor, who finished with six catches for 97 yards and, if he keeps this up, maybe they'll fix the mural on the team's equipment truck, the one that still has the sophomore receiver's name spelled "Agoholar."
In the context of a now downsized Trojan season, this game was big, at least if USC would like to finish with a winning record and participate in a bowl.
The Trojans won a week after 11 players were injured against Notre Dame, 11 being a total that could represent an entire offensive or defensive unit.
They won with ailing safety Dion Bailey, who initially didn't even dress, suiting up at halftime and then playing because of continued attrition.
They won with a former walk-on quarterback and Wake Forest baseball player catching his first pass as a tight end.
"God works in mysterious ways," junior Chris Willson said, "and he has a good sense of humor."
They won with contributions from several unknown players and absolutely nothing from a very well-known one. Dynamic receiver Marqise Lee continued his dreary season by watching in street clothes because of a sprained knee.
As he left the field after the victory, Lee had to duck under a security rope to avoid running into an ambulance, and if there was a more symbolic moment Saturday at the Coliseum, we didn't see it.
There was another thing that helped the Trojans past the Utes and, although we can't be sure it was why they won, it definitely was why they won so handily.
Utah's Travis Wilson, a sophomore from San Clemente High, is a dual-threat quarterback who has had his arsenal halved by an injury to his throwing hand. He struggled badly against the Trojans until finally being replaced for good by Adam Schulz, who fared no better.
Conversely, USC's stand-ins flourished, doing more sizing up than seizing up.
That concept was summed up nicely on the final play of the first quarter when Jabari Ruffin hit Wilson to cause a fumble and fellow linebacker Anthony Sarao recovered it, setting up Heidari's first field goal.
Both Ruffin and Sarao played extended minutes Saturday because of injuries.
"I tried to get the sack," Ruffin said, "but all I saw was the ball, so I tried to hit it out."
Hit it out? He swung and, yes, he homered.
Sarao somehow secured the recovery despite not having the first chance at it. In fact, it appeared a Utah player had fallen on the fumble and, according to on-field witnesses, that player had. At least until…
"I just took it from him," Sarao explained. "That ball's on the ground, it's ours, point blank. So I just took it from him."
That's what the Trojans did Saturday. They reached out and grabbed the ball, the game, the opportunity.
It wasn't the prettiest victory but, in a choppy season that already has seen one head coach go overboard, this was a day for USC to finally enjoy some calm and peaceful seize.

More cheeses I can eat!!
Being lactose intolerant has been a tough adjustment for me. Ice cream is the one thing I miss most. I used to eat ice cream on a regular basis including all the crazy flavors. Another food that I miss is cheese. Things like mac & cheese or grilled cheese sandwiches are GREAT but just not for me anymore 🙁
I was browsing Trader Joe's the other day when I cam across two varieties of sheep milk cheese. I've been eating goat cheese in almost everything since it doesn't have lactose in it, but I was so excited to find two more cheeses that I can eat!!
I got so excited about the cheese that I came home and made grilled cheese sandwiches. They were delicious. The sheep's milk Gouda is so good. I highly recommend checking them out.
13 Responses to "More cheeses I can eat!!"
I'm guessing you've tried Manchego? It's my favorite sheep's milk cheese.
I'm lactose intolerant too, and cheese is what I miss most. I'm curious about the goat cheese and sheep's milk cheese; according to what I've read, goats' milk and sheep's milk have almost the same amount of lactose as cows' milk. How is it that the cheese doesn't have lactose? I'd be interested in any resources you could pass on because I'd love to be able to eat some cheese again!
I'm lactose-tolerant, but according to a Good Eats episode on cheese, most of the lactose is removed during the cheese making process, so that's why most lactose-intolerant people can eat it. My g/f is Asian and very lactose-intolerant, but she can eat cheese with no problem. Ice cream (which she will eat when she gets the craving) does her no good at all, but cheese is usually fine.
That's interesting. I know lactose intolerance is different for each person. Unfortunately for me, eating cheese (and ice cream) is like a death-wish, but I have read that cheese that's made traditionally, aged 2 yrs., has nearly no lactose in it. That's hard to find though. I haven't heard that goat cheese and sheep cheese have less lactose. But perhaps most goat and sheep cheese are aged?
I actually have the GE episode on my TiVo (Cheese: Good Milk Gone Bad) and he says that cheeses that have a little age on them have had their lactose consumed by the bacteria so there's little if any lactose left. I just replayed that portion for the exactish quote.
I think goat/sheep cheese is similar to cow in that it can be fresh or aged. I think Manchego has fresh and aged varieties. If you have a good cheese source nearby, you should be able to find well-aged (2+ years) varieties of cheddar at the very least. A Canadian, English, Irish, or Austrailian. All are very good.
I truly feel sorry for you, as I love a nice extra sharp cheddar, Parma Reggiano, etc.
And really, it's not my intention to torture you. 🙂
Thanks for looking that up for me! I'll have to test the waters the next time I'm feeling brave…:) I would LOVE it if I could eat some cheese again!
The only reason I eat goat and sheep milk cheese is because when my doctor told me I was LI, she said I could eat those. So that's what I've been doing. I am very sensative to all cow dairy, but haven't ever had problems with the goat or sheep cheese…
I haven't tried Machego… I'll have to look for it.
I first had Manchego at a tapas place near Phoenix on a cheese and fruit plate. I had no idea what I was missing. 🙂
oh my gosh! a fellow cheese junkie! haha
So I've been lactose intolerant since I went away to college… but I still enjoy most of my favorites. Lactaid works wonders!!! I carry the pills around with me all the time and enjoy most of the foods I love. Regarding the different milks, goats milk does indeed have lactose, it is just less than traditional cows milk so more people can tolerate it. I'm sure different processes in which you make cheese, etc could effect it, and everyone's sensitivity is different as well. I adjusted quickly to Lactaid milk, and they have cottage cheese, ice cream (but i stick to the good ol' stuff), and some other products I have yet to try. I urge fellow LI folks not to give up your (and my!!) favorite foods!!!
I found this website of sheeps cheese and it appears it is good for people with LI.
Yep! Sheep cheese is my friend for sure.
I am severely lactose intolerant but love food and cooking, so this has been a difficult adjustment for me as well. Parmigiana Reggiano is lactose free as well as; Grana Padano, all Finlandia cheeses including Muenster and Lappi. I use Lappi as a substitute for Mozzarella as it has similar texture and flavour. Muenster has worked well as a substitute for many cheeses as it has great flavour. There are some cheeses that I cannot tolerate such as mozzarella. Goat cheese does have lactose, but also has a protein in it that is different from that in cow's milk. This makes it much more easily digestible and is great for those with lactose intolerance. Hope this is helpful! p.s. – I make my own ice cream by making creme anglaise with lactose free 2% milk.

Liquid Facelift for Nasolabial Folds
Was this photo helpful? {{ voteCount + ' other' + (voteCountOthers == 1 ? '' : 's') }} found this helpful
Background: This San Francisco Bay Area woman originally came to me in 2004 to resolve deep creases in her nasolabial folds. A full San Francisco face lift was not necessary, but she wanted a lighter treatment to correct the smile lines between the nose and the corners of the mouth, which she felt were adding age and fatigue to her face.
My Assessment: "We initially began treatment for the nasolabial folds. Before 2006, dermal fillers were generally just used to reduce nasolabial folds, so in the initial treatment we applied dermal fillers to that area only, with highly effective results. In 2007, I expanded dermal filler usage to other areas, so this patient returned to fill out the cheeks and tear troughs (the lower, inner corners of the eyes). The additional procedure very effectively restored volume loss in the cheeks, filling in depressions and diminishing the dark circles beneath her eyes. She recently came in for a visit in 2008, and we were very impressed with how rejuvenated her face appeared in comparison to 2004."
Procedure: Applied 3 syringes of 1.0cc Restylane®, one each to her nasolabial folds, cheeks and "tear trough" area. The final photo is taken 1 year after treatment of the nasolabial folds and 6 months after treatment of the cheeks and tear trough area.
Follow Up: After this San Francisco woman's Restylane "face lift," she looks ten years younger - refreshed, rejuvenated and much closer to her actual age.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Dozens of people held a candlelight vigil in honor of Trenton Duckett, the toddler who went missing seven years ago Tuesday.
The vigil began at 7:30 p.m. at the Leesburg Town Center.
"Not knowing where he is, not knowing he's safe, not knowing if he's being taken care of like we would want him to be, that makes it very hard," said Josh Duckett, the boy's father. He spoke with Local 6 and said he hoped the annual vigil will spark new leads in the investigation which remains open.
He said he still keeps his son's bedroom intact, even though seven years have gone by since his son, Trenton, disappeared. The 2-year-old vanished sometime after August 26, 2006, and was last seen with his mom, Melinda Duckett.
The 21-year-old mother had just left her grandparents house, but by the next day, little Trenton was gone.
Answers died with Melinda when she committed suicide weeks later.
"She definitely had the answers and I feel when she committed suicide, they went with her," said Josh. "There are leads that have come in. None of them have turned out to be anything major and we're going to continue to follow up on them and we're going to continue to work on every lead that comes in, or every bit of information that comes into us."
Duckett said it's been a few months since there's been any leads about his missing son, but he's hoping the more his case is talked about, the more tips will come in.
It's why two dozen people gathered in support Tuesday evening, including people who volunteered to search for Trenton years ago, like Shelly Crain.
She said, "I kept his picture on my refrigerator for like five, six years, hoping that somebody would find him."
Organizers of the Florida Missing Children's Day Foundation attended the vigil and said there's always hope, no matter how long the case remains open.
Duckett also believes the recent case of the three Ohio women who were rescued after being held in captivity for 10 years renews his hope that he will find his son.
"It's just a matter of staying positive and continuing the drive and motivation to go forward," he said.
Trenton Duckett would be 9 years old today.
Anyone with any information on this case is asked to call 1-800-423-TIPS.

Sandberg unhappy with Phillies' lack of fundamentals
SARASOTA, Fla. -- The Phillies are 1-8-1 in the Grapefruit League after a 15-4 loss to the Orioles at Ed Smith Stadium on Friday. Ryne Sandberg isn't as unhappy about the defeats as he is about the way they've been occurring.
"We've got some work to do," the manager said. "As we have a chance to tighten up the squad and fine-tune some things down the road, we're looking towards that. But, yeah, we have some work to do. Just a lot of little things. The wind blowing. Players unaware of it. Bobbles on the infield. Cutoff throws coming in. Yeah, we've got a lot of work to do.
"We haven't been able to play nine innings of baseball without giving some extra outs or having a crooked number go up later in the game. So there are a lot of things that need to be ironed out to put together a game to give us a chance to win."
The Phillies made two errors, but mental mistakes and poor fundamentals have also been a continuing issue. The team batting average is .189, lowest of any team. The staff's ERA is 5.46. Six pitchers were used Friday and each gave up at least one run.
Sandberg was especially frustrated by Friday's game.
"This one wasn't pretty from the get-go and got uglier as we went. That's not good. We need to stress fundamental baseball, work at it, practice it. Hopefully just a throwaway kind type of a game. Back to work tomorrow and try and put a game together and get it going the other way," he said.

Summer is a time for warm weather, barbecues, bonfires, and most of all... camping! Who doesn't love a good weekend of camping with a group of friends, sipping cold drinks, and roasting marshmallows? I sure do! However, one thing that may turn people off from camping is the idea of sleeping in a tent on the cold, hard ground, but don't worry, I have a simple solution to that problem... get one of the SimplySleeper air mattresses and get ready for one of the most comfortable night's rest you'll experience in the outdoors. I can honestly say from experience that these mattresses are worth taking on your next camping trip! Below are just a few of the many air mattresses that can be used for camping:
This bed has so many great features that come with it, and it is such a convenient product to bring camping. It is a twin size bed with a built-in foot pump, which means no need to hook it up to an outlet; you can pump up the mattress in just two minutes without any hassle. The SS-25T is extremely light weight, weighing in at only 6 pounds, and it comes with a carrying case so you can easily bring it with during your travels. The quality of the material is very durable so you don't have to worry about rips and tears. Take a look at this awesome model under SimplySleeper: http://www.simplyglobo.com/ss-25t.html
Another unique model that's worth checking out is the SS-SNG54Q, and it's a very useful item to bring along on your next camping trip. This is a queen size air mattress which means more room for sleeping (great when camping with your significant other). This particular model has a rechargeable battery pump that automatically inflates and deflates the bed in only 60 seconds! All you would have to do is put the deflated mattress inside your tent and the pump will do the work. Once again, these air mattresses are made to be durable and puncture resistant, so it can handle the grueling environment of the outdoors. Check out this air bed, and I promise you won't regret it! Here's the link to the SS-SNG54Q: http://www.simplyglobo.com/simplysleeper-ss-sng54q-queen-airbed-w-rechargeable-pump.html
So, if you're thinking of going camping sometime soon, think about purchasing one of the SimplySleeper air mattresses so you don't have to worry about sleeping on the hard ground ever again!

What are you worth? We canvassed 1,000 industry workers about careers, salaries and job prospects. Here are the results.
THIS YEAR, our salary survey shows a sharp rise of over ten per cent in the average UK games industry salary.
Last year we reported the number at £30,667 p.a. – this year it is £33,123 p.a.
Take into account historical data – 2010's survey said £31,370 p.a., 2009's was £31,655 p.a. and it's clear 2011's dip was a blip, due to a momentarily shrinking industry, as businesses closed and downsized. This year, the recruitment market has more vacancies and opportunities – even in 'these austere times'.
Before we go further, here's a little bit of info on how we calculated the big number above. For this number (and all the rest of the averages in this report) we've calculated the result using a median average, rather than a mean average, from 597 survey respondents based in the UK out of the total number of respondents of 975.
We canvassed 975 people working in the global games industry - 597 of which worked in the UK. Answers came from all sectors - development, publishing, retail, PR & marketing, services, technology and business development. Ten per cent of respondents were women, in line with the estimated proportion of females working in the trade.
A mean average would otherwise distort the numbers by including the group of very senior, and very well paid, execs who also kindly contributed.
With those high-fliers included the average rises to £35,790 – also slightly up on last year's total mean average of £34,000.
But this is not the highest we've ever recorded incuding senior excutives, which was 2010's £37,352.
Take into account all the answers from all games industry personnel around the world and the median average rockets up to £34,263 from 2011's £28,932 (and the mean is up too, at £38,179 from £35,902).
This suggests that right now more junior roles are garnering higher salaries outside the UK than they are inside.
In other words: while the UK has shown marked improvement in average salaries, the employment situation outside of the UK is once again much better. Tough luck.
In line with these changes this year, key roles have seen big changes year-on-year in their average salaries – detail on these can be found below.
Our salary survey shows some shameful statistics, however – namely the disparity between what men and women earn in the UK games industry.
Overall, the average yearly UK games industry salary for women is £30,254.
For men it's £33,088. That's a difference of over ten per cent each year.
Or, if you want to boil it down to the hour: men in games earn £1.35 more every hour than women in games on average.
And this is NOT a trend in line with the global market where, in fact, women in games on average earn more than men. Our statistics show the average global games yearly salary for a woman is £35,016, while for men it is £34,537.
So for all the progress that video games have made into the global mainstream, the UK games employment market hasn't been so progressive.
However, some interesting UK trends can be found when you look at the data per age range (above). In the chart below, you can see that women aged 18-29 actually earn more than 18-29 men in the UK games industry, but that those aged 30 and upwards earn less on average – perhaps suggesting there are a decreased number of opportunities for women the longer they are in their careers.
Store Manager
£19,722 p.a. (UP 13% YOY – 2011: £17,500 p.a.)
Shop floor Staff
£13,571 p.a. (UP 4% YOY – 2011: £13,000 p.a.)
Despite a tough 12 months for the High Street, there are fractional increases for sales staff and respectable rises for store managers.
We mark much of this down to a falling number of games retailers (elimination of lowest paid would skew the results here higher), and a greater accuracy with more shop floor level staff taking part in the survey.
Data for more senior retail staff varies too wildly for us to calculate firmer averages, because a) there are fewer senior retail personnel in games and b) the pay structures are different between retailers. However, taking into account data like age and location, we have calculated some rough figures for non-store roles: Senior Management: £43,000 p.a., Other head office staff: £33,214 p.a., Head Buyer: £53,125 p.a., Category Manager: £35,000 to £39,000 p.a., Online: £23,928 to £30,833 p.a., Junior marketing role: £25,000 p.a., Entry level buying role: £19,167 p.a.
Distribution Executive
£33,333 p.a. (DOWN 13.5% YOY – 2011: £38,570 p.a.)
Creative & Promotional Services
£33,000 p.a. (DOWN 1.5% YOY – 2011: £34,285 p.a.)
QA & Testing Exec
£18,676 p.a. (DOWN 11% YOY – 2011: £20,830 p.a.)
There's?little in the way of surprises here. All annual salaries in these ancillary and support roles – plus anecdotal results from other fields like manufacturing and creative outsourcing – have reported year-on-year decreases.
Publishers' dependency on these specialised areas lowered thanks to the, at times, smaller 2011 release slate. The rise of direct-to-customer products have also dented those sectors that rely on a regular supply of boxed goods.
Senior PR Exec
£36,500 p.a. (NO CHANGE YOY – 2011: £36,429 p.a.)
PR Executive
£27,500 p.a. (UP 10% – 2011: £25,000 p.a.)
Junior PR
£18,333 p.a. (DOWN 15% – 2011: £21,500 p.a.)
No change at the top for the hard working UK games PR bosses, but there has been some real variance for their subordinates. This is down to new younger staff and community manager-style PR roles entering the mix, and more respondents to our survey.
However, when switching from a median to a mean average, the senior PR bosses who participated skew that first number much higher, to £50,000 p.a. Similar analysis shows another increase for mid-level PR execs, up to £30,555. Several prominent UK PR execs changed company or were promoted in 2011 – there's your proof.
Senior Management
£71,429 p.a. (NO CHANGE YOY – 2011: £71,563 p.a.)
Marketing Director
£60,000 p.a. (New data for 2012)
Marketing Manager
£40,714 p.a. (UP 9% YOY – 2011: £37,188 p.a.)
Product Manager
£28,958 p.a. (DOWN 2.5% – 2011: £29,643 p.a.)
Sales Manager
£38,281 p.a. (DOWN 7.5% – 2011: £41,364 p.a.)
Senior External Development
£53,750 p.a. (NO CHANGE YOY – 2011: £53,750)
Only moderate changes year-on-year for games publisher personnel. It's perhaps not surprising that senior roles have seen no change, while roles that have depended on the product pipeline decreased during a year with an a quieter-than-average release schedule.
Marketing, however, saw a respectable jump – thanks in part to a higher number of survey contributors this year, and also a more competitive and varied marketing landscape. In the words of one respondent: "Last year we had to fight much harder for attention – and some of us were rewarded for our efforts."
£25,000 p.a. (New data for 2012)
Section Editor
£20,000 p.a. (DOWN 17% YOY - 2011: £24,166 p.a.)
Staff Writer
£17,065 p.a. (DOWN 4.5% YOY - 2011: £17,885 p.a.)
Don't be fooled by that severe drop for Section Editors – a wider range of survey replies this year, with a higher number of online journalists contributing, suggests our data simply has more clarity than ever, and better reflects an online-driven media, rather than a magazine one. In other words: print is dead, and so are higher salaries.

Max Levin Investing in the stock market is one of the less physically demanding jobs in this world, and fortunes are made everyday, so then why doesn't everyone do it? Unfortunately, a large amount of capital is needed to invest on a short-term basis. But there are ways to bypass the large amounts of capital and start trading daily. I am going to show you how to start trading the stock market with a low capital of $5,000.00 and build your portfolio dramatically. It is crucial to pick specific stocks that have the potential to move, stocks that have large amounts of volatility. This is needed, because unlike stock brokers and hedge funds who have millions to invest and can trade on very small increments, we need the stock to move at least 1 to 2% to make any money. There are only a few tools that could help you learn the ropes and investigate that specific stocks--one of these being charts. When looking at stock charts, look at the volatility and the volume the stock portrays each second, minute, hour and day. When does the stock move the most? Before market, morning, afternoon, closing or aftermarket? Compare each stock to the markets that they are trading in and which commodity or security they are linked to. For example, if the metals commodities goes up, will Alcoa (AA)? This information is important, giving yourself a pipeline of when and what times you will be playing the stock. When buying a stock for a short term investment with capital of $5,000, we want to keep the stock below $5.00 a share. By doing this, we increase the number of shares we have. Now, you might say that the share price doesn't matter and that we should look at the price per earning ratio and the shares outstanding. Yet for the current task on hand, we need stocks that supply a larger volatility so we can take advantage of the funding through shares. Let's start off with the stock Rite Aid Corporation (RAD). This company has a current stock price of $3.10 a share. We will buy 1,500 shares costing a total of $4,650 (excluding the costs of trading because of the variation between each person). RAD is a stock that could trade 4 to 7 cents annually or 2%-3% a day. The trading scenario is below:
