This is in response to the previous threads about web sites and i do apologize for not dropping it, but I do have a question.
I just want to say right off the bat, thank you to the many who had such nice words to say about me with this. I was out ice fishing this last week otherwise I would have posted right away. Also, I want to say that I have no ill feelings towards Wally or Wally's Wife, so please do not take this thread as a negative look upon you, I think that this is a free country and anyone should be allowed to offer up a service for what we can do for taxidermists. The only things I want to say about your site is that it is loading slow on my computer too and you probably want to put some more META tag information on there, but it is not bad. Remember, not everyone has high speed yet, so it should be faster loading for the 56k modem people. Check it out with a Netscape browser, maybe it is just with those IE browsers that it loads faster? You probably want to consider removing the frames and scripts as well since not everyone's browser supports them, which is another reason why the site might be loading slowly. But, if you are using the templates with this, I am not sure if it allows you to not have the scripts. If you know how to make them from scratch using something like Dreamweaver, then you should try doing it that way. Other than that, it is an ok site and hope you guys get some orders from it. So, please do not take this negatively, but rather a little help to get you started. I really do wish you the best and hope you can make some sites for some of the taxidermists out there who need them.
I think that what I offer is a real good deal for taxidermists looking for a web site. At only $12.99 a month (at this time) and a one-time $20 you really can't go wrong. http://www.nuttyhost.com/taxidermyspecial.html I also do updates throughout the subscription for free.
Yes, I am trying to get as many hosting clients as I can and I am willing to put for the hours of labor to do what I enjoy for you just to get the small amount of only $165 per year right now, yes per YEAR. Since I spend an average of about 30 hrs with updates, design and all the other hoopla that goes on with this over the year, I get less than $6 an hour. I know it seems nutty to do this and I am a little nutty (in a good way :), but I enjoy doing this alot and have developed a bunch of new friends. Also, with the help of hidetanning.net and Glen Conley, we have been able to get high ranking on a lot of sites when you put in my clients state and TAXIDERMIST after it. Not just TAXIDERMIST. Maybe down the road my sites will be able to get in on that one individual keyword, but it is tough keyword to get top rankings on without paying pay per click advertising, for which you would spend a fortune and get poor results since people from Europe and other countries or non-locals might click on your page, but once they see you are in the U.S. they will just look elsewhere, but they would still get charged their click cost. I do not sell or SPAM my clients about advertising or anything else, but I would tell them how to do it if they asked.
Also, about the backgrounds: I agree, dark colors for backgrounds are not really a great color to go with unless you have some contrasting images and text to go with it, but I do what my client desires, for which I know you will run into that after you get some web site customers.
Question for Wally's Wife: I am not sure what you mean by the blurred text and would like to know which site(s) you are referring to please so I can fix them.
Also, I do not use a Front Page editor with "cookie cutter" web site templates. To be honest, pretty much everything I make is from scratch using the content my clients give me, with the exception of some partial graphics I used from a template on one site, but I would say 99% are all me. All of my logos are by me, none are templates, with the exception of the logos that some of my clients already had and I reworked them to incorporate them into their site.
I actually use an old version of software that probably no one uses anymore, but it seems to help with our high rankings, so I am sticking with it, but FrontPage is ok, just that it has some restrictions.
I know I am not the greatest web designer out there, nor the worst, but it seems to be working for my clients.
I can take on only 7 more clients right now at $12.99 a month, but I am raising it to $15.99 a month after these 7 since I am repeatedly told that I am not charging enough for these services. I realize it may go out of the realm of what some taxidermists are willing to pay, but the visibility and payback is well worth it, not to forget to mention that you can feel more "21st century" by having your web site address on your business cards and show your potential local customers what you can do. I'm not sure, but I think a stack of business cards are about the same price as what I can do for Taxidermists, yet you cannot get all your pictures and text on a 2x3 card like you can on the web sites I have created. I'm tellin' ya, this is worth your investment.
I'll even back it up with one of my famous nutty guarantees: If you don't make your investment back on the taxidermy web site I make for you over your year subscription, I will refund you and you can keep the site. I am confident that you will make your investment back each year, most likely alot more, but if you don't, ya got nothing to lose. You would just have to find another host though, which would most likely be anywhere from $8-15 a month anyway, and that's just for hosting, no updates, no toll free number to call with questions. It's a win/win situation for us all. Take advantage of my offer while you still can and start making some orders you probably are missing out on since so little know you even have a taxidermy shop.
Again, I hope I have not offended anyone, or seem negative, because that is not my intention.
Best regards,

Jasons websites are the best offer going. I am no computer guru in the smallest strech of imagination. He has told me what to do and how to do it. He is working a site for me now. After seeing the site he done for Jeanette's taxidermy. I called him and it is almost done in less than a week. His prices are extremly cheap, and if he needs to raise the price I will continue with his service. He has been an absolute gentleman and a pleasure to work with. Best Regards, Randy
..All clients that already have accounts going with me will not get an increase in their subscription for 3 years from the start of your account. The only increase you get after 3 years is maybe a $1 extra per month ($12/yr (just a couple o' burgers at the bar, if I ever meet any of you clients of mine! hint, hint. Ha!) for 3 yrs after that. Wow, what a deal! So, whatever amount you are paying now for your subscription through me, your rate will only increase by $1.00 a month after 3 yrs. Then, after the first 3 yrs, it will increase by only $1/a month thereafter for 3 years, and so on until it reaches $19.99. This is due to future inflation and rising costs for me, but I still think it is reasonable, and this is over a long span of time, many yrs. For some of my clients, it would take 33 yrs to get to the $19.99 subscription. Now, I understand that this is a long time and many clients might not be with me after that many years, but as long as I'm still kickin' and have a computer, I will be there for ya. Also, If you have stayed with me that long, I am sure you will have seen what the power of the web can do for your business. I hope that you will see that this is very reasonable, but I am all ears to hear it differently. Let me know.
Thanks to all ahead of time,
I'll better you on the burger and buy you a full steak dinner if ever we meet!
The site you designed for me has been getting me on the average of 5-10 inquires a week, and is fast becoming an invaluable marketing tool for the studio. I got a $4000 job from a visitor to my site two days ago, so as far as I'm concerned, the life of the site is already paid in full. It gets high rankings on searches, and I am getting inquiries from all over the place. In my opinion, if the taxidermy work is priced properly, one job generated by a website will more than pay for the hosting.
This is a great deal, Jason is a great guy to work with, and the results are in the bank. The New Mexico Taxidermy Association will be having our site built by Jason as well, so Jason, I guess you're now down to 6 new clients at the old price! Thanks a million!
BTW, I like the black background on my site ;-)!
Bob Mead
...black background too - lol!
My only critique (and you all know I ain't shy about offering my two cents - lol!), is I would prefer the links to the pages to change color and stay that changed color. That way you know where you've navigated already.

Getting admission to graduate school is extremely competitive. For this reason, writing an essay, letter of intent, motivation letter or personal statement, is the hardest part of the application procedure. Requirements differ extensively, with a number of programs requesting only one or two paragraphs regarding why you want on pursue graduate study. Others require five or six part essay in which you are anticipated to write regarding your motivation for graduate study, your strengths and weaknesses and your professional/educational achievements.
• Start before time to allow for more than a few drafts
• Be creative while writing in academic tone
• Keep the length of letter one to two pages
• Articulate your motivation and ability to do well, and why you and this program are an excellent match
• Use first person ("I") and active voice
• Carefully review the instructions and arrange an outline
• Show your ability to think and gather ideas clearly
Purpose and Audience
Your purpose should be a clear, concise statement showing that you have a clear picture of what you want to do and eagerness for the field of study you have selected. Your essay letter of intent should mirror your writing abilities; it should disclose the simplicity, the focus, and the intensity of your understanding about your selected field of study.
Prior to writing anything, think what a reader might be seeking; the general directions provided by school may help n this regard. Moreover, you should research the school, department and faculty to which you are submitting your application. Your audience for this essay will contain faculty and staff members of the department to which you are applying, and possibly, members of the university's graduate school. These readers usually have different levels of knowledge in your field. Therefore, keep your readers in mind when explaining any technical work or research you have done.
Admissions committees might be trying to assess numerous things from your statement, including the following:
• Educational background
• Motivation to a field of study
• Expectations regarding the program and career opportunities
• Short-term and long-term goals
• Reasons for deciding to follow graduate education in a exacting field and at a particular institution
• Maturity and intelligence
• Personal individuality – How you would add to the multiculturalism
• Writing aptitude
• Main areas of interest
• Research and work experience
Content and Format
An essay, personal statement, motivation letter or letter of intent is actually a statement of your thoughts and goals. Typically it includes a certain quantity of personal history, but, if institution did not especially ask for autobiographical information, you do not need to provide any.
Even it is a "personal statement," the possibilities are almost limitless. There is no set method to follow, and, if you do write an autobiographical piece, it does not have to be arranged chronologically. The following areas are normally addressed in a graduate school essay, but pay concentration to the specific content requested by your school.
Background and Abilities
• Show a relationship between your background and the degree program you wish to enter.
• Show a rational transition from your experience at school/work to graduate school. How has that knowledge cultivated your attention in this degree program?
• Feature your related experience. Balance content among academic and work-related experience.
• Draw attention to your transferable skills, abilities and character qualities, focusing on those that correlate with achievement n graduate school.
Goals and Motivation
• Talk about your motivation for pursuing graduate education. Show how the degree program can assist you achieve the goals you have set for yourself.
• Speak about your qualifications, experiences and skills to your goals and to your school's resources.
• Make sure that your goals are a rational extension of your qualifications, experiences and abilities.
• Spell out your short/long-term goals, including proposed areas of research and professional interests.
• Answer the question, "Why this school/program and why now?"In each case, ensure that you:
• Communicate that you are acquainted with what you desire to do and why. Sound wholehearted regarding it.
• Be succinct; Prefer what's most important rather than trying to mention everything.
• Don't hike on or be self-pitying in your presentation. Keep away from redundancies.
• Avoid large words without cause, hackneyed expressions and attractiveness.
Coping with Problematic Areas of Your Academic Record
If there is information in your application that might adversely effect you, for example poor grades or little admission test scores, it is better not to include this information in your essay except you are asked to do so. Keep your essay positive.
On the other hand, you might be asked to explain negative aspects in your application and failing to do so may eliminate you from consideration. The most excellent way to do this is on a separate sheet entitled "Addendum," which you fasten to the application, or in a cover letter that you enclose.
In either form, your clarification of these shortcomings must be short and straight forward – avoid long and boring excuses. Besides your own explanation, it is also good to ask one or more of your recommenders to justify any negative issue in their recommendation letter. Request them to do this only if they are previously familiar with your trouble and could talk regarding it from a positive perspective.
Process of writing a Motivation Letter
There are two major approaches to write a motivation letter:
• You can summarize the points you desire to cover and then expand on them
• You can do brainstorming, put your ideas down on paper, going over them, get rid of certain sentences, and moving others around until you attain a reasonable sequence. Making an outline will most likely lead to an ordered essay, whereas writing suddenly may yield a more moved piece of writing. Use the approach you feel most at ease with.
Either approach you use, you will want somebody to review your essay. Your counselor and those who write your letters of recommendation may be very obliging to you in this regard. If they are already working in the same field, they will be able to tell you what things to pursue and what things to keep short.
Do not shy to write even if you have different opinion. Diversity in opinions are important, as your essay will almost certainly be read by more than one individual. Nevertheless, in the end, only you can make a decision on the best way of presenting yourself.

Pinch valve allows automated control of low-volume, clean, sterile liquids
Emerson Process Management's Baumann 85000 eliminates the inefficiencies and poor control given by manually-operated pinch valves typically used in these high value applications.
Emerson Process Management has introduced its Baumann 85000 sanitary pinch valve for low flow rate, low pressure control of sterile liquids within biotechnical and pharmaceutical industries. Providing fully automatic operation, the unit eliminates the inefficiencies and poor control given by manually-operated pinch valves typically used in these high value applications.
A complete unit uses three major components: a tube shell body that accommodates ¾" pharmaceutical grade tubing; a linear spring-and-diaphragm actuator that responds accurately to controller input; and a Fisher Fieldvue digital valve controller that yields a high level of operating performance as it maintains valve reliability. Working together, the valve and controller provide an installed equal percentage flow characteristic for control accuracy. The digital controller also enables valve diagnostics that monitor the operating health of the valve assembly, providing immediate feedback to a plant host system should maintenance be required.
The tube shell allows easy changeout of the process tubing. The valve plunger does not contact the process fluid and gives a shutoff rating equal to ASME/FCI 70-2, Class VI.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Yes, it is true that parents who help their kids get a very early head start in their reading journey, will in return make them smarter. It has been shown that children who enjoy reading books earlier in life, excel better in school during adolescence. In an article posted by the dailymail.co.uk, scientists have found that children who are able to read well by the young age of just seven, are more intelligent in their later years.
Scientists at King's College London and Edinburgh have tested reading and intelligence levels of 1,890 pairs of identical twins, over the course of nine years. The children were tested when they were aged, 7, 9, 10, 12 and 16, and the study has found out kids who have better than average reading capabilities starting from the age of 7 also have higher than average verbal reasoning during adolescent. Youngsters that read well also did visibility better in non-verbal tests. Younger kids who have good reading capabilities when in primary school performed significantly better in their teens, in IQ tests for abstract thinking general cognition and pattern finding. According to this new study, the results suggest that learning to read from an early age has implications that goes beyond just simple literacy. "The results revealed that those children who were better at reading had higher general intelligence and were more adept at spotting patterns, observing treads and completing picture" written by dailymail.co.uk.
Reading teaches young kids how to use their ever so vivid imagination, this helps children to think not only abstractly but also rationally in field of logic, mathematics and sciences. Authors of the study also writes, "'Better reading ability may improve knowledge of specific facts, but it may also allow abstract thinking skills to be gained via the process of taking on the perspectives of fictional or historical characters, or imagining other worlds, times, and scenarios."
Everyone knows reading to kids is a great thing. Do you know the certain advantages your own kid can receive just by being exposed to reading? Let's talk about some of the other benefits that highlights starting to read at a young age, some as early as between the ages 2 to 5.
When a child starts to get familiar with reading at such a young age, she or he would definitely need their parents' guidance and extra push, not many children know the meaning and usage of books, or are naturally curious about them unless their parents and teacher instill in them through their daily lives.
So when parents get involve earlier in this process, it can help build a stronger relationship between you and your child. Everyone knows, how fast a child grows, many parents complain that their children are always busy with their friends or tech devices. As a parent to a young kid, take advantage of their young age and spend more time with your kid, snuggling up in bed with a good book. Most children books are not only educational but full of morals that also teaches important, meaningful life lessons. Instead of seeing this as a chore, use this to valuable time period to make reading a nurturing activity that will not only bring you guys closer but also to kick-start their learning abilities. This would a wonderful benefit to every parent worrying about their children growing up too fast.
Speaking English properly in Singapore might not be on the regular with our multiracialism country, as we have become too comfortable in shortcutting and mixing our English language with our other local languages, resulting "Singlish" or some would call it "Broken-English". Though very uniquely Singapore it may be, such habits in young children will eventually stick. Starting early with proper basic speech skills is critical throughout toddlerhood and preschool as your kid is learning both critical language and enunciation skills. By listening parents read to them, even how you speak, is a form of reinforcing the basics sounds that form language. Because by the time your child is in preschool, what you have reinforced might be very helpful, as then your kid will likely begin sounding out words on their own.
It is not uncommon for kids or parents who have kids that might be a little behind in speaking, reading, which might result a lacking of communication skills. When a kid starts reading at a very young age with the help of their parent/s, they might be able to express themselves better, and relate to other kids in school or in the classroom, in a healthier, and more positive way. By witnessing characters interact with each other in books, is helping your child gain valuable insight in communication skills.
Reading at a young age is not only help in being smart, but it helps in life general.
Many children have problems with their social skills, socializing with others, perhaps they are late bloomer, socially awkward, or as mentioned above, they aren't able to communicate properly. The general assumption is reading is mostly beneficial in an academic way, but did you know it can help children acclimate to new experiences? As a child approaches a major development milestone or maybe a stressful growing pains experience, parents sharing a retable storybook, or a child reading one is a wonderful way help them with their experiences or struggles. If it is the child's first day of preschool or primary, they might be dealing with a lot of nervousness and anxieties, and there are many books that have topics to help deal with those issues, assuring children that what they feel or going through is normal. For youngster readers (ones in secondary school), they too have an endless array of options of books about puberty, friendships, stress, social experiences, transitioning to being a young adult, topics which youngsters might find difficult to openly discuss with their parents, therefore they could reach to those books for sound advice. Or on the other hand, parents could offer such self-help books to their children when they reach that difficult period stages of their lives.
As a parent, do ask yourself. what is the most important trait you want to develop in your child? If you are like most parents, being intelligent would be at the top of their list. And if you're a youngster studying hard in Singapore, this would be no doubt, one of your top priorities too. Most children at some point would want to be at their best-smarts wise. And every parent wants smart and bright children, which is why many of them spend so much effort and time in choosing the right schools and making sure their children's teachers are excellent educators. But as a parent, on your own, can kick start and unleash your child's learning potential at a very early age, even as early as toddlers, simply by making reading books an essential part of their daily lives.

A mother has been charged with allegedly assisting her son and another man in allegedly stealing multiple items from Walmart on Eastern Avenue on Saturday.
Betty Kalinowski, 56, and Joshua Kalinowski, 28, and Tommy R. Thompson, Jr., 28, Tuppers Plains, Ohio have all been charged with prior theft offenses at the store and were ordered to stay off of the property. On Saturday, a loss prevention officer with Walmart, contacted the Gallipolis Police Department to inform them the trio were seen inside the store and has left in a silver SUV.
An officer with the GPD executed a traffic stop on the vehicle near the Arby's exit and identified the Kalinsowskis and Thompson. An infant was also reportedly inside the vehicle. During questioning, Joshua Kalinsowski allegedly told the officer he had stolen a Bluray Player from the store and it was produced from the rear of the vehicle. A subsequent search of the vehicle allegedly revealed a digital trail camera concealed under the infant's car seat and numerous items of clothing still bearing Walmart tags in a laundry basket.
The three were taken back to the store, where they were processed and released on a summons to appear in the Gallipolis Municipal Court. Not seized, but later determined to be stolen after viewing video surveillance footage, was a bag of dog food that was visible inside the SUV during the search and a bottle of Coke, which Thompson was reportedly drinking at the time of the traffic stop.
According to the report, video footage allegedly showed Thompson selecting the trail camera, which he removed from a locking peg by force. The camera was later concealed by Joshua Kalinsowski. Thompson was also allegedly observed selecting the bottle of Coke. Joshua Kalinsowski was allegedly observed selecting the Blu-ray player, which was allegedly concealed by his mother, Betty Kalinsowski, inside a Walmart bag. Joshua Kalinowski also was allegedly observed leaving the store with the bag of dogfood. Betty Kalinsowski was observed entering the women's bathroom and later exiting. The packaging for the trail camera was found discarded inside that bathroom by a store employee. In addition, Betty Kalinowski was allegedly observed making "furtive movements" over the top of her purse after leaving the clothing area.
According to Gallipolis Municipal Court records, a warrant was issued for Joshua Kalinowski's arrest on Monday when he failed to appear for a court pretrial on the earlier theft case which was filed on June 10, 2013. He was charged with first degree misdemeanor theft and criminal trespassing in connection with Saturday's incident.
Betty Kalinowski was also charged with first degree misdemeanor theft and criminal trespassing and has an open theft case that was also filed on June 10, 2013, when she was ordered to stay off of Walmart property.
Thompson Jr., who pleaded guilty in June to theft and was ordered to stay off of Walmart property. Information on if any charges were filed against Thompson was not available at press time.

Successful Team Development Using Competencies
by Cindy Wozny-Carl, Vision3100 Consulting
Watching this year's summer Olympics made me think of what makes a successful team. It seems like each team member knew their role and trusted that everyone else on the team did too. We in Real Estate know all the pieces needed to build buildings and manage them to add value. Can we apply this to people? When I worked for a large real estate developer and manager, I was amazed by how everyone knew their top five strengths and appreciated them. "I am a realtor, arranger, maximizer, learner, communicator." Everyone would be excited to think that if we know our strengths, we can use that to build a balanced team. But is it the right team for that organization? Until we understand what the organization's needs are, we won't be able to understand what behaviors contribute to the organization's success. Understanding and then identifying these "competencies" is a great debate among the human resources research community. The common thread is that a company can obtain a competitive advantage if it possesses a unique bundle of skills and behaviors. Successfully developing them should be the focus of defining and building your company's competencies.
What is a competency? The most common competency building tool uses sixty seven of them. They define competency as a "measurable characteristic of a person that is related to success at work". Anther definition is "the skills and personal characteristics that contribute to superior performance".
Identifying competencies can be a complex process. Through the use of competency models, some providers suggest identifying three to five behaviors that capture how the company competitively differentiates itself. These can be chosen from among hundreds of possible choices. Others may use a framework of several components, such as behaviors dealing with people, business, individual attributes and develop multiple levels of competencies within each component. The key is to create a highly tailored, actionable set of behaviors that align employees with the values or strategy of the company.
Once these behaviors are understood, they then can be translated to the skills, knowledge, attitudes and motives that characterize exceptional performance. They must be understood at all levels of the organization in order to be integrated into how you select, develop, assess and reward people.
That certainly helps me appreciate the performance of any successful team, whether at the Olympics or in our day-to-day work lives.
Hear Ms. Wozny-Carl speak more about building organizational performance at the IREM Fall Leadership Conference in New Orleans, October 16-20.

Got your attention? Good. Have a look at this:
Libertarians are generally characterized by (misplaced) arrogance. Liberals are generally characterized by…well, I don't actually know, but I'm sure I'll get suggestions. Conservatives are generally characterized by fear.
It informs all their policies…. Read the rest here, at "A Movement of Cowards." It is an excellent discussion of the way fear motivates. Fear motivates us all at times and to varying extent, but it mainly works on the cowards. Like Rand Paul and his head stomper, and Michele Bachmann and her ilk in the House.

A dedicated team has been working to bring a long lost pit banner back to life using research from the past as well as a fragment from the original. Flossie Mainwaring-Taylor reports
ONE of the oldest miners' banners is to make an historic return to one of the biggest events in County Durham's calendar.
Trimdon Colliery banner has not made an appearance at Durham Miners' Gala for what is believed to be about a century but this year will be proudly held up alongside villagers thanks to a conservation project.
A team of residents, councillors and an artist have been working tirelessly to bring the pit banner back to life using a fragment from the 125-year-old original.
Group chairman David Gibson said: "It's a big achievement for a small community. Everybody is thrilled to bits with it. It's a massive piece of history to come back to the community and to take it into the gala to represent Trimdon Colliery is fantastic."
Trimdon Colliery Banner Group raised almost £9,000 to fund the creation of the new banner which has just been completed.
Among the donors were Cllrs Peter Brookes, Lucy Hovvels, Morris Nicholls, Trimdon Parish Council and members of the public.
The remaining fragment was found at Blackhall, near Hartlepool, by the late Ted Atherton who dedicated 50 years to researching its history.
A newspaper cutting records its unfurling in July 1892.
On the front it shows three men in the Trimdon Colliery agent's office while on the back is a depiction of the Good Samaritan.
It has been recreated by Emma Shankland, of Durham Bannermakers, who spent 11 weeks hand-painting both insets on silk.
The treasured replica's permanent home will be Trimdon Colliery and Deaf Hill Working Men's Club.
It is hoped in time the original fragment will also go on display in the club.
Sedgefield MP Phil Wilson has pledged to walk with the Trimdon Colliery banner at the annual Big Meeting in July.
The politician's father was a miner for about 40 years, working mostly down the pit at Fishburn and then Kelloe.
He said: "We shouldn't forget the heritage and the men and boys who worked down the coal mines, and those who lost their lives.
"I know there has been a lot of work put in by volunteers to ensure the heritage of the mining industry goes on, mainly to do with the community spirit it generated.
"I usually walk with the Fishburn banner but this year I'll walk in with this one for Trimdon Colliery because it's an important time for them."
Group secretary Paul Trippet said: "It will forever have a home in Trimdon Colliery and will be celebrated at least every year at Durham Miners' Gala. We hope the people of Trimdon Colliery come out on that day and support us wholeheartedly."
A fundraiser for the group featuring singer Aryana will be held in Trimdon Colliery and Deaf Hill Working Men's Club today at 7.30pm. Admission is £3.

Unlike Pietersen, who Surrey announced on Wednesday would be available for them in all forms of cricket until the end of the season, Bopara has no issues with his team or captain.
But Bopara has endured personal problems at home, pulling out at the eleventh hour from the squad for the Headingley Test on July 28. He has scarcely played since, just two brief one-day innings where he made one and three, the latter for Gloucestershire against South Africa on Tuesday.
Given the majesty of his batting in the NatWest Series against Australia early last month, two low scores suggest the tumult caused by his family problems has not been entirely settled. Indeed, when Andy Flower was asked about Bopara and his travails on Tuesday, the England team director said: "Hopefully, he can fully resolve them in the months or years to come."
Bopara is one of the few England players reasonably close to Pietersen, though there are those who feel the latter's influence has not always been helpful. Certainly when Pietersen retired from 50-over cricket Bopara bloomed as never before, appearing finally to fulfil the enormous promise people such as Graham Gooch had been talking about for years.
An in-form Bopara would certainly feature in England's one-day plans as he is more than useful with the ball, as his figures of three for 43 in 10 overs showed yesterday, and a fine fielder. But he has been found wanting before in the mind games that come with top-level sport and he will have to prove he can cope with playing international cricket in parallel with this latest setback in his personal life if he is to succeed.
Psychology is usually an Australian area of expertise so it was interesting to see their South African coach, Mickey Arthur, predicting it would take years, if at all, for Pietersen to be assimilated back into the Test team.
One year takes us past next summer's Ashes series, two past the one in Australia that follows on immediately as a result of England wanting to break the cycle of having Ashes and World Cups in the same year. Pietersen averages 52.71 against the Australians, so it is in their interest to see him passed over for those back-to-back series.
"It takes time to mend," Arthur said of the rift between player and team. "They say trust and reputation takes a year to two years to really build, and you can lose it in two minutes. I think that's where they've got to with KP now.
"There's no one guy that's bigger than the team and England must have thought that KP had got to that point. I think they've handled it very well."
It is not the first time an Australia coach has criticised Pietersen. In the 2006/07 Ashes, which England lost 5-0, John Buchanan accused him of being "a selfish player who distanced himself from the team". Three years later, Buchanan, co-opted as a consultant by the England and Wales Cricket Board, had not softened his view.
"Two of the things that will be tested by the best sides are strength and unity and clearly Pietersen hasn't understood his role within the team yet," he said. "He has the potential to be an individualist and fragmentary." Prescient words indeed.

A research team led by Fetah Benabid, University of Bath, has observed for the first time the simultaneous emission of two resonant dispersive waves by optical solitons (waves that maintain their shape while traveling at constant speeds). By designing a special fiber with an extremely small waveguiding feature located in the photonic crystal fiber cladding, the researchers were able to bring the theoretical prediction into the experimental demonstration, creating waves on both sides of the pump. This research appears in the current issue of the Optical Society's Optics Letters.
Since the 1980s, dispersive waves have been studied in the concept of solitons. The waves result due to perturbations that cause the soliton to lose some energy. Now, because of the flexibility in the design of Benabid's fiber, the waves are more general than they have been in the past. These "general" waves allow for a further degree of control over supercontinuum generation and have enabled a new way of generating coherent supercontinuum spectra, which is useful in a number of applications such as frequency combs. In addition, this new milestone introduces the opportunity for very compact femtosecond lasers.
Key Findings
"Fourth-order dispersion mediated solitonic radiations in HC-PCF cladding," Optics Letters, Vol. 33, Issue 22, pp. 2680�.
For a copy of the paper, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
We observe experimentally, for the first time to our knowledge, the simultaneous emission of two strong conjugate resonant dispersive waves by optical solitons. The effect is observed in a small waveguiding glass-feature within the cladding of a Kagome hollowcore photonic crystal fiber. We demonstrate theoretically that the phenomenon is attributed to the unusually high fourth-order dispersion coefficient of the waveguiding feature.

As more writers explore self-publishing options and digital editions re-create print books, the time has never been better to brush up on book fonts. If you have to pick a font for your book, why not consult with the experts?
After the jump, we've embedded a video from the talented designers from Penguin–talking about their favorite fonts for books. It's a fascinating primer about the world of book design. If you are a design nerd, check out another video feature we posted–watch an expert design a book cover.
Here's more from Penguin: "Fonts. Obsessed? Couldn't care less? Either way, they affect the way that you feel about what you're reading. They're an added layer of communication that we are often unaware of. Fonts and book design add richness and character to our reading experience. And we wanted to hear from the people who spend their days focused on how to complement the work of writers published by Penguin."

Picture: Sharon Osbourne shopping at Planet Blue pet store in Cross Creek Malibu, California - 26.04.08
Sharon Osbourne has vowed never to host a talk show again, because the structure of daytime TV programmes is too restrictive.
The 54-year-old has had two attempts as a talk show host, but both the U.S. and U.K. versions of The Sharon Osbourne Show ended in failure.
And she admits the whole experience was a disaster waiting to happen.
In her forthcoming autobiography Survivor, she writes, "My ITV (British channel) chat show was a gigantic mistake. I'd had a hard lesson when I did a chat show in America but I hadn't learnt. It was my ego getting the better of me, thinking I could be queen of daytime TV. Wrong!
"I had to be so careful what I said and how I said it. No swearing, nothing too provocative. I couldn't be confrontational or probing - two things I might claim to be good at. The questions I wanted to ask, I couldn't.
"The truth is, daytime TV is not for me. I just don't fit it. I know that now."

Brewers stand tall against Dodgers ace
Despite having to face either Zack Greinke or Clayton Kershaw four times in the last week, the Milwaukee Brewers have found a way to win a pair of series from the National League-leading Los Angeles Dodgers.
Ryan Braun and Carlos Gomez hit home runs, while Yovani Gallardo outpitched the National League Cy Young favorite to lead Milwaukee to a 3-2 victory over Los Angeles on Saturday at Dodger Stadium.
It was Kershaw's first loss since May 28, as the Brewers snapped the star left-hander's 11-game winning streak a night after rallying late to snatch the series opener.
"Yo was just outstanding," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "I thought Kershaw threw the ball really well. Brauny got the two-run homer off him, but besides that, Gomey hits the homer. He pitched better tonight, I thought, than at our ballpark."
Kershaw held the Brewers to just one run on six hits over eight innings in Los Angeles' 5-1 victory at Miller Park last Sunday, but Milwaukee squandered multiple scoring opportunities by running into outs on the bases.
The Brewers had fewer chances Saturday, as the two-time Cy Young winner had six perfect innings and struck out 11, needing just 97 pitches to go the distance.
It turned into the first complete-game loss of Kershaw's career thanks to the performance of Gallardo and a couple of big swings by the Brewers. After Kershaw set the first nine Milwaukee batters down in order, Gomez led off the fourth with a bullet to left for a double.
Following a groundout, Braun hit a 3-1 fastball from Kershaw out to right-center to put the Brewers up 2-0.
"You just hope to get a good pitch to hit and not miss it," Braun said. "He's the best pitcher in baseball. He was on top of his game tonight. He had great stuff, we were fortunate to get a couple of runs against him."
The only blemish on Gallardo's line came in the bottom of the fourth, as the Dodgers created yet another run with their speed. Carl Crawford reached on an infield single with one out, stole second and scored on Justin Turner's base hit to center.
Mark Reynolds cut off the throw home from Gomez and threw out Turner at second, potentially preventing a bigger inning.
Gomez got Gallardo the run back in the sixth, hitting a first-pitch changeup from Kershaw for his 19th home run of the season, providing the Brewers with what turned out to be a critical insurance run. Kershaw entered Saturday not having allowed a home run in his last four starts, but surrendered multiple homers for the first time since Sept. 8, 2013.
After a leadoff single in the bottom of the sixth, Gallardo retired the last nine he faced to get through eight innings at 96 pitches. It was the first time the right-hander went eight innings since June 10, 2013, and the first time he's went that deep in under 100 pitches.
Gallardo allowed six hits, walked just one and struck out three to earn his eighth win of the season.
"His fastball was outstanding today," Roenicke said of Gallardo. "He really pitched off the fastball pretty much all game. He mixed in his slider and his curveball, but he really dominated with the fastball."
Despite Gallardo's relatively low pitch count, Roenicke said the decision not to bring him back for the ninth wasn't a tough one. Closer Francisco Rodriguez allowed a solo home run to Matt Kemp to start tine inning, but he retired the next three batters he faced to record his major-league leading 38th save.
The Brewers will go for a series sweep of the Dodgers on Sunday behind Wily Peralta knowing they have already won both series from Los Angeles thanks to a combined three victories with either Kershaw or Greinke pitching.
With St. Louis and Pittsburgh losing Saturday, Milwaukee extended its division lead to three games over the Cardinals and 4 1/2 games over the Pirates.
"I think we've played good ballgames against them," Roenicke said of the Dodgers. "We feel like when we play good, and we've had good pitching, that good things are going to happen. That's a good club. You can't mess around too much. You can't make mistakes. Hopefully we'll continue to play clean ball.
"To beat (Greinke and Kershaw), we know we have to have a great game against them. That's what we played."
Interference? Despite the victory, Roenicke was not pleased with an interference call made by second-base umpire Hunter Wendelstedt in the seventh inning Saturday.
With Rickie Weeks on first base, Elian Herrera hit a slow roller that was fielded by first baseman Adrian Gonzalez. Weeks appeared to legally slide into second base, as the pace the ball was hit at made a double play unlikely.
Wendelstedt ruled Herrera out at first base, telling Roenicke that Weeks tumbled over the base and collided with shortstop Miguel Rojas on the other side of the bag. Jean Segura clearly committed interference while trying to break up a double play Friday, but Milwaukee's skipper was perplexed by the call Saturday.

BWB Highlights
The Institute of Fundraising has announced two important new additions to the Code of Fundraising Practice. See today's Briefing for details.
Sara Burgess, former Regulator of Community Interest Companies, joins BWB as a consultant this month.
At a glance
The Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Bill has now been committed to a House of Commons Public Bill Committee which held its first meeting yesterday.
From 6 April 2016, the amount of Gift Aid top up charities can claim for small donations will increase from £5000 to £8000.
NCVO has published a list of FAQs about the future of fundraising self regulation following the fundraising summit on 4th December.
The Care Quality Commission has published its annual report "The State of health care and adult social care 2014/15."
Charity Commission
Staff announcement
The Commission has appointed David Holdsworth as its new Chief Operating Officer, replacing Paula Sussex, who had been acting COO in addition to her role as CEO at the Commission.
The Commission has published its Inquiry Report into the charity Odyssey (Tendercare) Limited (registered charity number 1104244). The Commission concluded that, while the charity may have provided some valuable services to people with cancer, the primary focus of the trustees was on running and maintaining its hotel business. The charity's income, including a donation of around £3 million, was used to fund the hotel business with little to no return to the charity. During the inquiry, the commission identified acts of misconduct and breaches of fiduciary duty on the part of two of the charity's trustees and the Commission reports that both of these individuals are now disqualified from trusteeship.
Case Report
The Commission has published a case report relating to The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust (registered charity number 209302). The charity maintains and preserves the five homes and gardens linked to Shakespeare and his family in Stratford-upon-Avon and is governed by an Act of Parliament (The Shakespeare Birthplace and Trust Act 1961). The Commission received a complaint that the charity was proposing to dispose of land to enable a road to be built to the rear of Anne Hathaway's Cottage, without the necessary power to do so. However, Commission established that the sale was within the charity's powers and the Commission's consent was not required.
Other Charity Commission publications
The Commission has published an article by Sarah Atkinson, Director of Policy and Communications, encouraging feedback on the new draft fundraising guidance CC20. Sarah says that the Commission wants feedback from donor groups, fundraisers, the general public, but especially trustees of charities large and small.
The Commission has issued guidance about how charities can help communities affected by flooding, with particular reference to working with UK Community Foundations.
Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Bill
The Bill has now been committed to a House of Commons Public Bill Committee which held its first meeting yesterday.
BWB drafted a technical briefing to support the proposed amendments to the Bill. Unfortunately, despite the support of many umbrella bodies as well as sympathetic briefings from the Charity Law Association (CLA), the government is pressing ahead with the Warning Power, without any amendments. We will now be pressing for a three month consultation on the Commission's draft proposed guidance on the Warning Power.
Charity Tribunal
There are several new appeals:
- Pauline Densham – Third Sector summarises her case as "An allotment holder is taking the Charity Commission to the charity tribunal to challenge the regulator's decision that allotments overseen by her local parish council should be considered charitable land."
- Legal Action & Kevin Gregory – In November Kevin Gregory was refused leave to appeal against a CC decision relating to Legal Action. Legal Action is currently the subject of a Charity Commission inquiry.
- Lennox, Patrick, Ryan – Lennox and Ryan were the appellants in 2009 against a Charity Commission decision relating to land held by Dartford Borough Council, the Kidd Legacy. So presumably the appeal relates to that charity again.
And the appeal re Bath Recreation Ground has been remitted back to the First Tier Tribunal.
Tax and VAT
From 6 April 2016, the amount of top up charities can claim for small donations will increase from £5000 to £8000.
NCVO has published this list of FAQs following the fundraising summit on 4th December.
The Institute of Fundraising (IOF)has announced these new additions to the Code of Fundraising Practice.
- All permission statements (opt-in or opt-out wording to gain consent for marketing purposes) displayed in fundraising materials must be at least the same font size as the larger of (i) any text asking for the recipient's personal details, or (ii) any text specifying the donation amount. If there is no text asking for personal details or specifying donation amount, any permission statements MUST be in the minimum font size of 10.
- Organisations must include on all fundraising communications sent to a named individual, clearly displayed details of how the recipient can, by a single step, opt-out of receiving such communications from the charity on whose behalf the communication was sent. This must be at least the same font size as the larger of (i) any text asking for the recipient's personal details, or (ii) any text specifying the donation amount. If there is no text asking for personal details or specifying donation amount, this information must be in the minimum font size of 10.
The IOF has also published accompanying guidance.
Data protection
The Information Commissioner's Office has issued an enforcement notice against an individual requiring him to stop making unsolicited marketing calls relating to potential claims for industrial hearing injuries.
Social finance
The Financial Conduct Authority has issued a call for evidence about legal, regulatory and other barriers to the growth of the social investment market in the UK. The FCA says it is interested in:
- hearing feedback from social enterprises and those firms, such as financial adviser and crowdfunding platforms, who may market these investments to potential investors.
- views about the potential risks to consumers investing in this sector as it is important investors are making informed decisions and understand the risks associated with social investments.
- evidence about consumer demand for these investments, particularly which groups of consumers are making these types of investments.
BWB Partner Luke Fletcher comments "This is a really important opportunity to make suggestions which could lead to regulatory change. I would encourage anyone with a view on or experience of the social investment market to complete the FCA's online survey by the deadline of 14 March 2016".
Last week we mentioned a report published by Responsible Finance, formerly the Community Development Finance Association. BWB Partner Luke Fletcher comments "We are privileged to work with many community development finance providers who manage to get finance to parts of the economy that others cannot reach and on fair and affordable terms as well. It is not always easy to communicate the significance of this work and its impact, so it is great to have a clear and compelling message that this is fundamentally about responsible finance, which speaks to the way the whole finance industry operates."
Social enterprise
Sara Burgess, former CIC Regulator, is joining BWB as a consultant on community interest companies.
Social Enterprise UK is carrying out a survey on social enterprise and the European Union.
Education and children's services
On Monday this week the Prime Minister announced "radical reforms which will mean poorly performing children's services must improve – or they will be taken over." High-performing local authorities, experts in child protection and charities will be brought in to turn children's services around – including by acting as sponsors, forming 'trusts' to take over authorities which are judged to be failing.
The Department for Education has published a consultation on the government's proposals on the rights of parents and childcare providers to request wraparound and holiday childcare. The consultation closes on 29 February 2015.

With the exponential growth of the Internet, a central Whois database that
provides host and network information of systems connected to the Internet,
and electronic mail (email) addresses of the users of those systems has
proven to be very inefficient. The sheer size and effort needed to maintain
a centralized database necessitates an alternate, decentralized approach to
storing and retrieving this information.
RWhois is a Directory Services protocol which extends and enhances the Whois
concept in a hierarchical and scaleable fashion. It focuses on the
distribution of "network objects"--the data representing Internet resources
or people--and uses the inherently hierarchical nature of these network
objects (domain names, Internet Protocol (IP) networks, email addresses) to
more accurately discover the requested information.
RWhois synthesizes concepts from other, established Internet protocols to
create a more useful way to find resources across the Internet. The RWhois
protocol and architecture derive a great deal of structure from the Domain
Name System (DNS) [RFC 1034] and borrow directory service concepts from
other directory service efforts, primarily [X.500]. The protocol is also
influenced by earlier established Internet protocols, such as the Simple
Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) [RFC 821] for response codes.

Microfabrication and Nanomanufacturing
Mark Jackson Purdue University
Nanotechnology, seen as the next leap forward in the industrial revolution, requires that manufacturers develop processes that revolutionize the way small products are made. Microfabrication and Nanomanufacturing focuses on the technology of fabrication and manufacturing of engineering materials at these levels.
The book provides an overview of techniques used in the semiconductor industry. It also discusses scaling and manufacturing processes operating at the nanoscale for non-semiconductor applications; the construction of nanoscale components using established lithographic techniques; bulk and surface micromachining techniques used for etching, machining, and molding procedures; and manufacturing techniques such as injection molding and hot embossing.
This authoritative compilation describes non-traditional micro and nanoscale processing that uses a newly developed technique called pulsed water jet machining as well as the efficient removal of materials using optical energy. Additional chapters focus on the development of nanoscale processes for producing products other than semiconductors; the use of abrasive particles embedded in porous tools; and the deposition and application of nanocrystalline diamond. Economic factors are also presented and concern the promotion and commercialization of micro and nanoscale products and how demand will eventually drive the market.

When Amy and Jay Hudson relocated to the Augusta area last summer, they liked the idea of a close-knit, safe community where they could walk to the library, know their neighbors and, most important, easily maintain their lawn.
"We are completely against yardwork," Ms. Hudson said jokingly. She moved from a Honolulu high-rise condo with her husband when he was transferred to Fort Gordon. "It's not where we want to spend our time."
The Hudsons found what they wanted in the Northridge neighborhood in Evans, which, unlike most subdivisions built in recent years, has sidewalks, narrow streets and houses that are close together and have front porches. It is the kind of neighborhood their grandparents might have lived in decades ago.
Developers say the thirtysomething couple belong to a growing demographic that includes young professionals, empty-nesters and retirees who are choosing "neotraditional" developments over typical suburban neighborhoods. Some say those suburban areas encourage bland architecture, anonymity among residents and an overreliance on automobiles.
"We don't want the cookie-cutter effect," said Harriet Roney, of Blanchard and Calhoun Real Estate Co., which developed the Northridge neighborhood.
Because there is no official definition for a neotraditional neighborhood, specific data on the growth of such developments are not tracked by the government or the homebuilding industry.
Industry watchers, however, say the movement has gained momentum since the late 1980s and can be characterized by several criteria.
"The streets are narrower, there are sidewalks on both sides, there are bushes and trees between sidewalks and roads," said Gopal Ahluwalia, the vice president for research at the National Association of Home Builders. "And people can walk to get daily necessities ... instead of driving every time."
Subdivisions such as Meybohm Realtors' Rhodes Farm in Columbia County are pulling certain neotraditional elements into their design, such as parks, alleyways and rear garages.
Mr. Hudson likes the blend of classic architecture and modern convenience.
"You get the benefits of both. It looks like an old house, but with the niceties of a new home," he said.
Their 2,600-square-foot Charleston-style home with a wraparound porch feels spacious even though their neighbors' homes are about 10 feet away.
The development of more cohesive neighborhoods is part of the "new urbanism" movement in recent years, which promotes socially and environmentally conscious residential developments.
Many neotraditional developments are drawn to reduce the size of individual lots in order to create more common areas, such as parks and nature trails. Blanchard and Calhoun's Tudor Branch, for example, includes a 140-acre nature preserve.
John McIlwain, the senior fellow for housing at the Washington-based Urban Land Institute, said the movement has increased interest in building neighborhoods in central locations. The result is increased pedestrian traffic and shorter commutes.
"It's a wonderful time to have these principles come into our design lexicon," he said.
Perhaps the best local example of a neotraditional neighborhood is North Augusta's Hammonds Ferry, under construction on the banks of the Savannah River near the city's downtown area. In the next 10 years, the development aims to create a "town center" concept consisting of retail, apartments, condos and mid-to high-price houses within walking distance of each other.
"Once the town center is created, the idea is to have something self-sustaining," said Turner Simkins, a Blanchard and Calhoun vice president and manager of the Hammonds Ferry project.
Among those who have already bought into the neighborhood are Pat and Tommy Manuel. Ms. Manuel said she and her husband, who recently retired, bought a two-story cottage in the neighborhood.
They are happy with their small yard, their proximity to central city attractions and the hominess of the neighborhood.
"It's just a natural step to go out and reach out, meet your neighbors," said Ms. Manuel, a diversity coordinator for Wackenhut Corp. at Savannah River Site.
Though such developments are increasing in popularity, the vast majority of new housing developments follow the norms established during the past few decades.
"Traditional sprawl development represents a higher percentage of any market, Augusta included," said Mr. Simkins, the project manager.
The National Association of Home Builders' Mr. Ahluwalia points out that not all homebuyers are interested in land conservation and other characteristics of neotraditional neighborhoods.
Most neotraditional neighborhoods are not cheap because unique architecture and amenities such as nature preserves carry a premium.
Rhodes Farm homes start in the $400,000's. Northridge prices range from the mid-$300,000 to high $400,000 range. Hammonds Ferry's homes can range from $300,000 to $1 million. Compare that to median home prices in Richmond and Columbia counties, which last year were $103,000 and $169,000, respectively.
"I think one of the greatest challenges new urban finds is to provide affordable housing," Mr. Simkins acknowledged.
The head of the area's largest homebuilder said that the added costs might prevent more projects such as Hammonds Ferry but that the overall neotraditional concept will start to filter into more affordable homes.
"I think the fighting sprawl is going to be long term." said Lamar Crowell, the president of Keystone Homes. "Anything that can help prevent sprawl overall, you'll see more."

Neotraditional neighborhoods often diverge from typical neighborhoods built in recent decades:
Narrow streets force traffic to slow.
Sidewalks allow residents to walk around the neighborhood.
Compact yards put houses closer to streets.
Incorporates public space, such as trails and parks.
Businesses incorporated into the neighborhood.
Garages in the rear or side of home, accessed by alleys.
Home designs are more customized.
Wide streets to accommodate cars.
Lack of sidewalks discourages walking by forcing pedestrians onto streets.`
Larger lots allow houses to be set further from streets.
All space allocated to home sites.
Commercial zones are outside the neighborhood, requiring residents to travel by vehicle.
Garages prominent in architecture, no alleys.
Number of home styles is limited.
According to surveys conducted by New Urban News, a major trade publication focusing on new urban development, there were more than 600 urban neighborhood developments of 15 acres or more as of 2003. By January 2005, there were 754.
The surveys were not exhaustive.
According to the News, from 1996 to 2003, the average growth of new urban neighborhood projects was 28 percent annually.


text: Gbeke and Knight in Team of the Week September 9, 200912:00AM PDT Previous Next By Simon Fudge/whitecapsfc.com Vancouver Whitecaps striker Charles Gbeke and right fullback Wes Knight have both been named in the same USL First Division Team of the Week for the third time this season. The pair made the Week 22 squad following their efforts during Vancouver's two matches last week. Both Gbeke and Knight were also part of the weekly all-star teams in Weeks Five and 10. Gbeke - who was also named USL-1 Player of the Week in Week 20 - made the league's latest team after scoring two goals in last Wednesday's 3-2 home win over Austin Aztex. Knight, meanwhile, earned his spot in the all-star XI after setting up Marcus Haber's goal during Friday's 1-1 draw at Minnesota Thunder. It was the rookie defender/midfielder's league-leading eighth assist of the season. The Week 22 squad also includes Puerto Rico Islanders goalkeeper Bill Gaudette, defenders Stephen Keel (Portland Timbers) and Adam Braz (Montreal Impact), and former Whitecaps left fullback Steve Kindel (Rochester Rhinos). Three midfielders in Leo Inacio Nunes (Miami FC Blues), Lawrence Olum (Minnesota Thunder), and Leonardo Di Lorenzo (Montreal Impact) were chosen, as well as Montreal striker Roberto Brown. Rochester forward Errol McFarlane is the USL-1 Player of the Week for Week 22 following his two goals in the Rhinos' 2-1 victory at Portland Timbers. Previous Next

IDC: Online Game Consoles to Top 37M in 200822 Oct, 2007 By: Erik Gruenwedel
The popularity of online video game console editions, including Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii, is expected to surpass 37 million units in 2008, according to a new research report.
The research presented recently by IDC and IDG Entertainment at the Entertainment for All Expo in Los Angeles, said online video gaming, including subscription services such as Xbox Live, represented the fastest growing segment of the market.
Online console revenue this year will triple to $583 million, from $133 million in 2006.
While video game software sales from traditional retail and online are expected to increase 19.5% in 2007, downloadable content revenue will increase more than 1,000%, with subscription sales growing 158%.
Game-related downloadable content derived from manufacturers' proprietary online console networks will reach $296 million in 2007, with subscriptions topping $277 million, from $107 million last year.
The report concluded that traditional video game software sales still dominate with $9.5 billion this year, content sold and accessed over the Internet represent the most "exciting" growth in the industry.
"Consumers are increasingly purchasing games by non-traditional means such as downloads or subscriptions," said Billy Pidgeon, program manager for games research with IDC.

It would be nice if George Bush went to jail.
Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy
I refuse to cede the high ground even though my last president drove us into death valley. Sue me!
She is a bit naive at the end where she claims Obama is so much different. He isn't. He just prefers to ship people off to Bagram or similar bases where they aren't as visible:
My thesis statement–at least as expressed to friends in China who believe that Obama is "black":
"In my country, black and white has not always been determined by skin color alone, but rather, by the concepts and constructs of privilege that one is born to, maintains, or that one upholds. Obama is more white than me, less white than Bush, and generally not considered to be black by other black, and often racist, leaders."
So we'll see how white he really is when he refuses not only investigations into law-breaking By BushNCheney et al, but also in how he handles the back-pedaling on his campaign promises of a new "open-ness", and issues over Gitmo–and though an investigation over torture should be mandatory there, I doubt we will get one and he has signaled as much.
Meantime, my money says that all of that "new openinity" won't even touch the wholesale or specific wiretapping of American citizens, or Telcoms that broke the law.

: I might be worrying over nothing, but it never hurts to ask.
: My bf and I haven't used protection the past couple times we've had sex. According to my calender, one of the days we had sex was around the same time I would have been ovulating. I had my period on the 4th, but it only lasted 3 days and was a little lighter than usual. When I woke up Sunday morning, I had light.. spotting for lack of a better word. Since then, I've been having rather sharp pains just on my left side.. Any one know what might be causing this?
I am having a similar problem right now. I was supposed to get my period on Tuesday and only started spotting on Wednesday and that is still all that's happening. Monday is when I got a pain in my left lower abdomen. Mine is a steady dull pain. Kind of like cramps but different than I've ever felt before. I don't know what to tell you,but if you find anything out please let me know.

New York will have one of toughest gun control laws in the nation. Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the NY SAFE Bill into law Tuesday evening.
Cuomo calls the law "common sense." The New York State Assembly passed the legislation Tuesday afternoon by a vote of 104-43. The state Senate passed the legislation Monday night.
The legislation, the first in the nation since the Newtown massacre last month, would expand the state's existing ban on assault weapons, limit the size of ammunition magazines, place further restrictions on gun sales, and create safeguards to make it more difficult for the mentally ill to own firearms.
