A Louisiana Small Business Development Center location is set to open Tuesday in LSU's Stephenson Entrepreneurship Institute.
While the LSBDC used to operate through the Louisiana Business & Technology Center at LSU, officials decided it made more sense to house the center in the entrepreneurship institute. The LSBDC's goal is to help small businesses grow through individual consulting services, entrepreneurial training programs and business information resources.
"By moving the LSBDC at LSU into an academic unit within the college, we are able to better utilize the faculty, students and facilities to offer business counseling and entrepreneurial training," said Charles D'Agostino, interim director of the entrepreneurship institute.
The LSBDC at LSU will have a full-time business counselor. Staff members at the entrepreneurship institute and the LBTC will serve as additional resources, along with students in the Flores MBA program and undergraduates who are focusing on entrepreneurship.
Rande Kessler, director of the LSBDC at LSU, notes that most of the organization's locations are housed in college and university settings.
"The economic synergies and network provided in this type of environment are incredibly valuable for small business and budding entrepreneurs," said Kessler, who came to the LSU LSBDC from LSU Shreveport.

As the fall term begins, computer security students expect to buy heavy textbooks filled with equations, information theory, and programs that sort, encipher, and route network packets. Yet, nontechnical classes also have much to offer today?s security students. In addition to satisfying general education requirements, such classes provide core background material that explains aspects of computer security that most technical courses overlook.

Q-106.5's Nelson Jewell Shaves Head for Maggie Rudnicki [VIDEO]
My heart has been broken for Maggie Rudnicki, the 4 year-old baby girl from our tiny little town of Levant, who is battling a rare blood disorder called 'Diamond Black Fan Anemia.' I first met Maggie when she was just a few months old. I was asked if I would do a broadcast from a blood drive that was organized in her honor. I jumped at the chance to help out. I remember getting the chance to hold her, kissing her sweet little head, and whispering a prayer in her ear. Unfortunately, after a few years, she's not out of the woods yet. But there's always hope.
I was also touched by the story that told of her big brother, Lucas, who offered up his own bone marrow so his little sister wouldn't cry from the pain of the needles and transfusions. Lucas is my new hero.
And when I heard that Maggie is very sad because of the treatments has caused her hair to fall out, I wanted to do something to show love and support–I shaved my head.
Like many have stated before, 'It's only hair, it will grow back.' But I wanted to take one step further and share a video with Maggie and her family, and on Wednesday of this week, I'll broadcast from a location that's yet to be determined, giving you a chance to make a small donation to help Maggie and her family.
You can only imagine what they've all been through. I sure hope you'll help out.
Here's the video:

Vick Ballard and Charles Mitchell took very different roads to get where they are now and each did it in with a unique style.
As of Tuesday, the two seniors are the captains of the Mississippi State football team for 2011.
The players voted them into the spots, and head coach Dan Mullen said it is one thing they have in common that got them there.
Article Continues Below
"You'd have a hard time finding two harder workers than Charles Mitchell and Vick Ballard," Mullen said.
That may be where the similarities end, though.
Ballard, a running back, spent his whole career being overlooked. He had no SEC offers out of high school, so he went to Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. There, Ballard became an All-American running back. That performance was only enough to earn him one SEC offer, but luckily for Ballard, one was all he needed. In his first season at MSU, the tailback set a school-record with 19 rushing touchdowns and took the SEC by storm.
Mitchell, a safety, has a bit of a different story. The Clarksdale, Miss., native was the Gatorade player of the Year in Mississippi as a senior in high school. He was named to the Clarion-Ledger Dandy Dozen. He played in the Mississippi-Alabama All-Star game. Mitchell earned scholarship offers from such historic programs as Nebraska, Michigan and Alabama, in addition to the two big in-state schools, MSU and Ole Miss. He was anything but overlooked.
But now, Mitchell and Ballard are the leaders of their team, no matter how they got there.
Said Mullen, "Yeah, I bet people look back at that now and would like to have both of them on their team."
For Ballard, it was a quick transition. One year ago at this time, he was still wrapping his head around the offense. One year later, Ballard says he is more comfortable both as a player and a leader.
"It means a lot," Ballard said of being voted team captain. "It means the team looks up to me. It kind of makes me feel good because I've been here just a short amount of time. To be given that much respect means a lot to me."
Mitchell said one of the first things he did after being elected was to call his mama. He said his parents were always competitive and that his mother knew he would inherit that, too. Mitchell said it must just be in his blood.
"Luckily enough I work hard and try to lead the guys, try to get real, real close to the guys, and I'm thankful that they elected me and Vick as captains," Mitchell said. "It's just a great honor to be a part of it."
Both Ballard and Mitchell acknowledge they have different styles as captains, as well.
Ballard is a quiet leader, not because he's shy, but because he is all about work and business.
"I try to lead by example," Ballard said. "But whenever I do talk, people listen. I think they just buy into whatever I say."
Running backs coach Greg Knox said that attitude is one that rubs off on the rest of his team.
"He's a worker," Knox said. "When you work around a lot of people, people notice. Our team noticed how hard he worked and they respect that and that's why he was voted captain."
Mitchell, on the other hand, is not afraid to talk, though he admits to being more reserved earlier in his career.
"I've come a long way as far as playing time and maturing and just playing time on the field," Mitchell said. "As a leader, when I first got here I was real quiet. Now I'm a lot more vocal on the field."
In an odd coincidence, this isn't Mitchell's first time to be a captain at MSU. In his freshman season, Sylvester Croom's last as head coach, the team had a different offensive, defensive and special teams captain every week based on who performed the best in the previous game.
Mitchell was named captain of special teams for one week following a strong performance against Alabama.
"That was the first time I got team captain and it was fun, then coach Mullen came around and it was all seniors," Mitchell said. "I've just been waiting for my opportunity to get another chance at it."
He got that opportunity, of course, and Mullen said it couldn't have gone to anyone better, someone he has said on multiple occasions might just be the best football player on the team.
"Just his attitude, his preparation for games, his work ethic on the practice field," Mullen said. "How he trains, practices, prepares. You watch him on film and he follows through with it. He might not be the flashiest player in the world, but when you go and look at the grades, he's always grading out. He always does his job. He's always where he's supposed to be, making the plays he's supposed to make. If we can get all our guys to play on that level, we'll be in good shape."

"The weapons of war," laughed ABC News cameraman Russell Marhull, holding up his knife and fork. He was about to tuck into the complimentary buffet luncheon on the 23rd floor of the the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Doha, Qatar.
Marhull was a formerly a cameraman at WNET in New York where he worked for The MacNeil-Lehrer NewsHour until Robert MacNeil retired nearly eight years ago.
Eating was among the principal occupations today for the dozens of American and European broadcast journalists housed here waiting for war. A dust storm enveloped the city in a thick fog, leaving outdoor work precarious at best. This is the kind of swirling grit that scratches camera lenses and freezes the delicate zoom mechanisms. The doorman said it could last for several days like a Nor'easter in New England.
The four-person crew from The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer on PBS has already gone to war with the Qatari bureaucracy. Its television equipment has been detained by Customs at the airport for four full days. A paper chase of faxes from the Ministry of Information to the Foreign Information Service to Q-Tel, the country's telecommunications regulator, led back to the two-man Customs station at the airport. They said they had not received the fax yet.
The equipment is in plain sight at the airport. Even within reach. But the scowling police would never approve of its being removed without the right paperwork. Thursday and Friday here are the weekend; very little happens, so it may be five full days before the gear is retrieved. If it is retrieved at all…
There is a relaxed air in the lobby of the Ritz. Men in traditional attire, thobes and kaffiahs sip coffee and smoke. Tanned and lanky young men in golf outfits can be overheard describing holes at the Doha Golf Club. The Qatar Masters tournament is this weekend, despite the dust. The roster is mostly European; Americans stayed away for safety concerns.
On Thursday afternoon there was a lovely tea for American and European expatriate women in the Ritz lobby. Models strolled from table to table wearing jewelry for sale at a discreet table off to the side. A trio of female musicians played light classics in the background. The sound of the flute drifts up the giant atrium to the rooms above.
On the third floor are two American broadcast command centers. ABC and CBS are even sharing work space in a huge corner suite. It's balcony has been turned into an anchor position, with the twinkling lights of Doha serving as the nighttime background for the main evening newscasts. The buzz has Peter Jennings on the way to anchor World News Tonight. Will George Stephanopoulos perform his Sunday chores from Doha? Nightline is a daytime program here as its cameraman Marhull watches how the dawn's early light affects his shot.
But the biggest celebrity of all just arrived: General Tommy Franks, the man who will command the U.S. attack on Iraq from his post at a 262-acre industrial park about 20 miles from Doha.
In a telephone conversation yesterday with the NewsHour, Army Major Randi Steffy didn't mention his arrival. "But did you ask?" said another military spokesman later. "No, but…" was the reporter's lame reply.
The media/military game of cat and mouse has begun.
Major Steffy was quoted in the English language The Peninsula newspaper as saying she didn't expect Franks to stay for very long. "I wouldn't read anything into it because General Franks can command and control his headquarters from wherever he is."
Good for him. Meanwhile the hotel buffet beckons.

All the oil and muck was cleaned out with carb cleaner. I looked into the hole and all I saw was clean brass that blocked the orifice. I tried pushing through with a tiny allen head head wrench and it just hits the solid brass "wall". No compresssed air goes through it as well. ??????? on a 2004 GO!!!!!:huh

Stella McCartney Night and Day Cream
Stella McCartney gets Organic for Night & Day
Since organic food and beauty is so popular these days, I thought I'd tell you more about the most recent product launch from Stella McCartney, Nourishing Night & Day Cream ($80).
This face moisturizer has been developed to help revive all types of dry and dehydrated skin. Made with organic vegetable extracts, cupuacu butter, black-currant buds and brazil nut oil, it creates a mineral- and vitamin-enriched protective layer over your skin. I haven't tried the cream yet, but I'm a sucker for all things vegan, organic, and luxurious—so it's only a matter of time.

In Niagara-on-the-Lake, which attracts thousands of tourists, Shaw Festival goers and marquee names from around the world, the Dietsch brothers wanted to create a place for locals. So in June, Paul and Matt Dietsch opened the Sandtrap Pub and Grill in a retail square on Mary Street, blocks away from the main downtown strip.
"Being lifelong locals, we needed somewhere the locals could go, hang out, know each other and get great value," Paul, 43, says.
"When we grew up here, there were half a dozen places that catered to the locals," Matt, 37, adds. "Gradually over the years, there was more and more tourism and people saw the value of the tourism dollar and [were] less interested in the local dollar."
There is definitely money to be had downtown. On Queen Street, where tourists troll the shops and theatres, a take-out lunch consisting of an iced tea, salad and caramel crunch costs a whopping $20. At the Sandtrap, a pint of Rolling Rock beer is $4.87 and a steak pie dinner is $9.95. "In this economy, value is important," Paul says.
It's so important that the brothers began leaving town for meals. "Here's Matt and I and our wives wanting to have dinner and we'd have to drive 30 minutes to St. Catharines," Paul laments.
The brothers (two of six siblings) are community-minded, having been born and raised in Niagara-on-the-Lake by the town's former mayor, Mike Dietsch. "[Our father] just said, 'Do it right the first time. Open up properly and do it right.' He's a wise man and he's our maintenance man," Paul says.
At the Sandtrap, a squeaky front door announces your arrival, with patrons in the bright wide open space immediately looking over, as if to see whether they recognize you. It's a Wednesday night and the place is crowded with people eating pizza, shepherd's pie and burgers. The restaurant comfortably seats 100 guests and has a homey feel with ceiling fans, hanging lights, wooden booths and flat-screen televisions. The art on the walls — framed photos of Tiger Woods and paintings of golf courses — have all been donated by clients.
"Hey!" Matt calls out and waves to a woman sitting down for a meal (she works in communications for the town). The guys know most of the guests, even the out-of-towners — a couple have come over from the bed and breakfast that Paul's wife, Natasha, operates. Some customers already have regular booths, barely two months into operation. "If it's taken, [one couple] gets a little bit lost. Then they go up to the bar and they keep looking back. As soon as it's empty, they go for it," Paul says.
Many of the customers have followed the brothers to their new venture from their previous posts. Paul worked as a fine dining server for 15 years at Queen's Landing, a nearby luxury hotel, and Matt managed Butler's, a local sports bar.
"Paul and I have always been really close and we spent a lot of time on the golf course, dreaming of different things," Matt says. The name Sandtrap was offered by a lifelong friend, though the brothers admit they're too busy now to hit the greens.
"We hope to play golf again," Paul said. But not for awhile, not when there are people to be fed.

Ref: Van Hoydonck 177 Milan, a major city in northern Italy and the capital of the province of Milano, is situated near the middle of the Lombard plain. It is the seat of an archbishop, the chief financial center of Italy and wealthiest manufacturing and commercial town in the country. The center of the city is dominated by the Piazza del Duomo, or cathedral square, at one end of which stands the Cathedral of Milan. Begun in 1386 from marble from the quarries which Gian Galeazzo Visconti gave in perpetuity to the cathedral chapter, it was then the largest church in existence, and now, after St. Peter's in Rome and the cathedral of Seville, it is the largest church in Europe. The style is essentially Gothic and elaborate in design, though somewhat eclectic because so many masters contributed to its architecture through several centuries, notably Giovanni Antonio Amadeo, who designed the octagonal cupola, and Pellegrino di Tibaldo ... read more

In a surprising statement today Russian news agency TASS claimed that former Soviet President Boris Yeltsin died from alcohol poisoning. They are investigating a top pathologists claims that the alcohol may have been administered over several years in small but lethal doses of around 2 bottles a day.
It has formerly been claimed by Yeltsin's aides that alcohol fumes had been detected on Yeltsin's breath on more than a few occasions leading to suspicions being raised amongst his staff. As a result only Yeltsin himself and a few trusted aides were allowed to prepare his food and " Boris' special medicine " which he took for strictly medicinal reasons every evening, morning and afternoon.
The KGB have launched an internal investigation after a trail of alcohol traces were found in Yeltsin's home, local restaurants and planes which Yeltsin is believed to have flown in. Several mini-bottles of Stolichnaya Vodka were found by agents on a UK plane this morning, leading to allegations of conspiracy from Yeltsin's camp.
Whatever the truth, this is an International incident that is sure to rumble on.
"Buden Zdorovy!" as Yeltsin would have said.

The Delhi high court�dismissed an interim application by the International Cricket Council�seeking to restrain Philips India Ltd and its authorised departmental stores from using the logo, mark and mascot of the 2003 World Cup in their promotional schemes.
However, the ICC got�limited relief when, in another order, the court restrained Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) and it dealers from using the logo of the World Cup -- black and white striped Zebra -- in their marketing scheme.
In the case against Philips, Justice S K Agarwal dismissed the application by ICC Develoment International Ltd (IDI), the commercial arm of the ICC, saying: "IDI has failed to make out a prima facie case for grant of ad-interim injunction".
IDI had alleged that Philips and its dealers were misrepresenting their asssociation with them by using the World Cup logo and other marks etc on their promotional material without permission.
When similar allegations were levelled against HPCL and its dealers by IDI, the court said the petroleum company had failed to point out any material prima facie to show that in the course of promotional campaign, they could use the logo.
"The logo is in the nature of an artistic work protected under Copyright Act," the court said.
However, the court upheld the contention of HPCL counsel Manmohan Singh that IDI had concealed the material facts in the application and vacated the injunction granted on other aspects.

Editor's Note: This post missed Christmas, but there's still (barely) time for Hanukkah (or, more likely, just a plain ol' present for yourself or loved one).
Are you searching for the perfect stocking stuffer, that elusive seventh- or eighth-day Hanukkah gift, or just in general need an unusual little book to surprise someone and tickle their fancy this holiday season? One of four recent releases, all slim, smartly designed fictions, might just do the trick….
The Ravickians by Renee Gladman—This account of a novelist's explorations of an imaginary city continues Gladman's Ravicka trilogy, with each book standing alone. Allied with the fiction of Italo Calvino, Doris Lessing, and others, The Ravickians is entertaining, thoughtful, and a quick read. As with everything published by the Dorothy Project, it's also a lovely little book to hold in your hand. Opening lines: "To say you have been born in Ravicka in any other language than Ravic is to say you have been hungry. That is why this story must not be translated."

I listened to the Michigan-Michigan State game the other night while driving down to Palo Alto for a business dinner. The game was so crazy exciting that when I got home late at night, I watched the second half in its near entirety.
This Michigan team is imperfect - they run hot and cold and are a little too dependent on three point shooting for my taste - but they are a fun group to watch and very likeable. In fact, I think they just might be the most likeable Michigan basketball team I've watched since the Fab Five days (say what you will about that team and that era - and I know history isn't treating them particularly well - but they were as charismatic as hell).
The kid to watch though is this freshman, Trey Burke. He's about as exciting a player as I've seen in the NCAA this season and his upside potential is just scary. The Little Boy and I just love watching him play. I hope he sticks around - if so and based on our recruiting class that's coming in next year, I think we have some very good years ahead of us.
Go Blue!

That was short lived. I found myself missing doses. My husband was at work and my son was asleep. I will admit I did think about waking him up a few times to give me the shot. Ha Ha
I figured it was time to put my big girl pants on and learn to give myself the shot. I ordered the auto eject thing. I read those instructions over and over. After wasting 3 injections into the air. I finally said screw it! I uncapped the shot. Wiped it with an alcohol prep and pinched a roll of fat (that was easy to find) and did it! After I was done I thought that was easy! So since then I have been doing it myself. It is so easy! I am now kinda embarrassed I was such a baby at first. Yes...I still have to look away when they draw my blood...I am not super woman!! Ha Ha!
I had side effects of huge lumps that would take a few days to go away. They were red and really itchy. It got do bad that I stopped taking Copaxone altogether. Since I have a heart condition as well. This was the only preventive MS medicine I could take. After about a year I was having MS attacks. I decided to take it again. My doctor said for me to try taking a Benadryl at the time of my injection. I tried this as well. Then about a year after that my husband had a brilliant idea. He has those from time to time. He said lets take the little bit of air out of the needle before we give the injection. It was that easy. Since that day I have never had another red, itchy lump. Nor a lump of any kind. I don't know why Copaxone doesn't tell us to do this in order go prevent the painful lumps. I know it wasn't just happening to me either. I have read other people complain about the same thing. I only hope they followed my advice. If you use the auto eject well but the bullet and face your fears! You can do anything you really want to do.
Have you laughed today? I hope I made you at least chuckle!

PALO ALTO (CBS/AP) – Authorities said a helicopter pilot escaped injury when she was forced to make an emergency landing in a wetlands area near Palo Alto Airport.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor said the Robinson R-22 helicopter went down around 4:45 p.m. Thursday as the pilot experienced engine problems while approaching the airport.
"The pilot made an emergency landing short of the airport in a marshy area right near Embarcadero Road and Highway 101," Gregor said.
KCBS' Margie Shafer Reports:
The FAA said the pilot, who was the only person on board, was not hurt. Her name has not been released.
She was treated and released on the scene, not even needing to be transported to the hospital.
The pilot is a certified flight pilot for airplanes and is working on her pilot's license.
After the landing, the helicopter was on its side in about four feet of water. The FAA and NTSB are investigating and in charge of the cleanup.

HINSDALE, Ill. -- It was a rare occurrence in a community with a national reputation for tearing down old houses: A developer bought a historic cottage but didn't bulldoze it into oblivion.
The norm in this leafy Chicago suburb and affluent communities around the country has been to allow builders to demolish older homes to make way for far larger, far flashier houses -- dubbed "McMansions" by critics.
But a teardown tide that surged for a decade has begun to turn, largely due to a housing-market slump, but also thanks to the growing influence of preservationists.
As a five-year real estate boom fizzled this year, teardowns plummeted by at least 20 percent nationally, roughly corresponding to the drop in housing starts, said Stephen Melman of the National Association of Home Builders.
At the same time, though, preservationists across the country have exerted increasing influence in a quest to protect historic neighborhoods.
"The whole issue of preservation is more on the radar of all communities," said Genell Scheurell, a Chicago representative for the Washington-based National Trust for Historic Preservation. "It absolutely wasn't the case 10 years ago."
The cottage on Oak Street is a case in point.
The small, curvy, cottage was designed in the 1920s by architect R. Harold Zook, sometimes called the Frank Lloyd Wright of Hinsdale. So when a developer said he intended to demolish the house, preservationists scrambled to save it.
"A lot of people said the Zook house was the line in the sand," said Bob Saigh, who took the lead in saving the home. "It was a galvanizing situation."
Preservationists arranged to have the 82-year-old house lifted intact and rolled to parkland donated by the village. Workers are putting the finishing touches on a three-story, six-bedroom mansion listed at $5.5 million on the lot where the two-bedroom Zook house stood.
"The builder admired the house, but it was in his way," Saigh said. "It was move it or lose it."
Hinsdale, a 133-year-old village some 20 miles west of Chicago, gained notoriety years ago in preservationist circles.
"It's been the poster child for teardowns," said Royce Yeater, who heads the Midwest office of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
About 30 percent of Hinsdale's 4,700 homes replaced those that were razed, giving the village the dubious distinction of having one of the highest teardown rates in the United States.
National teardown figures are not compiled and difficult to assess, but the National Association of Home Builders has estimated that 75,000 houses are razed and replaced with larger homes annually.
The National Trust says Chicago's suburbs, California's Bay Area, Palm Springs, and neighborhoods around Washington, D.C., are among the hardest-hit areas.
"Teardowns spread through a community like a cancer," Richard Moe, president of the National Trust for Historic Preservation said in an address in San Francisco last summer.
"I believe they represent the biggest threat to America's older neighborhoods since the heyday of urban renewal and interstate highway construction. . . . The pace of teardowns has amounted to an orgy of irrational destruction," Moe said.
Preservation groups are issuing warnings as suburbs sprawl toward older communities.
The Chicago suburb of Kenilworth, for example, was named this year as one of the nation's 11 most endangered places by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Thirty-three of the village's 850 homes have been razed since 2001.
When a developer took steps to demolish a home designed by the firm of Daniel H. Burnham -- a top American architect 100 years ago -- placards protesting its destruction appeared in yards throughout the upscale community.
Just before its scheduled demolition last year, a good-Samaritan neighbor stepped in to buy the home for more than $2 million in order to save it.
That controversy and the National Trust listing helped spur Kenilworth officials to action.
On Monday, the village board approved a zoning change that provides incentives for owners and developers to fix up old homes rather than tear them down.

How to Have the Best Online Shopping Experience
I love being able to combine style and affordability. I have spent many nights (and days, if we are being honest) in my pj's sitting on the computer viewing super cute clothes on auction websites. Over the years, I have learned some tips about getting the best deal when shopping at an online auction website. #1 rule: stay within my set budget!

As part of their joint initiative, "Making Measurement Make Sense," The ANA, the IAB and the 4As, have issued five Guiding Principles of Measurement -- and just announced how those are going to be implemented.
The second principle calls for a migration to currency based on audience impressions, not gross ad impressions. It also incorporates a call for the ability to accurately determine demographic reach and frequency of online advertising schedules comprised of viewable impressions. Moving to a standard of viewable impressions online (for banner ads) rather than impressions served is the first principle.
The members of the associations who have been part of "Making Measurement Make Sense," along with the management consulting firm, Bain & Company and MediaLink, the strategic advisory firm, worked on an aggressive timeline to formulate the Guiding Principles and agree on implementation plans. While this activity proceeded, other marketplace developments for demo R&Fs did, too. Nielsen received MRC accreditation for its Online Campaign Ratings service, an accomplishment that I, for one, applaud. comScore added AdExpose capabilities to its suite of products, a step that will enhance its Campaign Essentials.
Why all the activity around what many people believe is an anachronistic way of looking at advertising? In a world of sophisticated data analytics and boundless opportunities to create consumer experiences with content and advertising, why bother with demo R&Fs?
Here is one really compelling reason to do so: Big brands do not advertise in a vacuum. They advertise across media platforms, and they market to consumers using a multiplicity of programs. Demo R&Fs for online campaigns allow brand marketers to begin to put their online schedules together with their offline schedules so they can quantify the number of unique people in their target demographic who saw their message a given number of times.
In and of themselves, demographic reach and frequency say nothing about the quality of the advertising and the consumer experience. These metrics are useful as a barometer of possible consumer fatigue with an ad. The parameters of fatigue are ever-changing in a digital world. Overexposure to a campaign has become harder to define. What is certain is that if we cannot measure reach and frequency accurately across media platforms -- and use that information to broadly assess campaign effectiveness -- we won't be able to know how much is too much.
It is of utmost importance that digital media platforms be valued for what they can do for brands -- along with other media, and on their own. What makes digital media unique is interactivity, a construct clearly not measured by demo R&Fs. We do not live in a world of either/or. We live in a world of basic counts layered with insights that illuminate the value of the counts.

Hulkenberg in talks with Force India
- Championship:
- FIA Formula One World Championship
- Drivers:
- Nico Hülkenberg
- Teams:
- Force India
Nico Hulkenberg is in talks with Force India about a possible race seat for the 2011 season according to his manager, Willi Weber.
Despite an impressive showing in his rookie season, Hulkenberg found himself surplus to requirements at Williams with GP2 champion Pastor Maldonado set to be confirmed in his place. With Renault also looking likely to confirm Vitaly Petrov for next season, Force India looks like the German's best option.
"There are currently some talks," Weber told Sport1.de. "There are still options, but not too many."
One big factor that is likely to have led to Hulkenberg's Williams exit is the sponsorship money that Maldonado will bring to the team. But Weber ruled out doing the same for Hulkenberg to buy a seat elsewhere.
"If you bring money to a F1 team, then that's what you do for the rest of your life."
Should the Force India seat fail to materialise, there are other options for Hulkenberg, including a reserve drive with Mercedes.
"That would be a plan B, with the assurance of sitting in the car in 2012," said Weber.

5 Reasons to Keep Your Resume Current
Notice: Undefined variable: apf_rel_post in /home/blogsites/migreenjob/www/wp-content/plugins/add-post-footer/add_post_footer.php on line 373
It may seem like a waste of time with the current economic and jobs outlook, but keeping your resume current has far more benefits than reasons not to. A. Harrison Barnes, the founder and CEO of both CareerMission.com and Hound.com, coaches clients on a daily basis to assume nothing. This strategy works well whether you feel secure in your current position or are beginning to feel the winds of change. With that in mind, keep reading for the top five reasons, some of which A. Harrison Barnes stresses in his career coaching efforts, to keep your resume current and at the top of the pile.
1. Unpredictability – If there's one predictable factor in today's current employment environment, it's that nothing is predictable. Even freelancers are receiving unexpected emails that companies they provide services for are closing up shop effective immediately. The hard truth is sometimes even upper management is caught off-guard by a company-wide memo that says, in essence, "shut it down…game's over".
2. It's easier to keep it current than updating it from time to time. Even if you haven't changed jobs since your last resume revision, odds are, you've increased your skill sets. Maybe you completed non-credit courses or attended a seminar or two. It all needs to be included; remember, your resume is the first introduction potential employers are provided.
3. Just as current fashion trends change, so do accepted resume formats. Gone are the days when one had three sub-titles: objective, education and employment history. Today, it's all about versatility and other skill sets in a far more competitive job market.
4. Keeping your resume current keeps you focused less on where you've been, but where you want to be. One look tells you what you feel are your strong points and what areas you don't wish to pursue.
5. Keeping your resume updated gives you the opportunity to cull older entries out. Your job fifteen years ago or even those part-time jobs you took to offset economic pressures aren't nearly as important as the work you now do. Further, it lets potential employers know you're on top of the game and you're paying attention to the details.
Finally, it's always a good idea to consider consulting employment experts for career advice, insight to the trends of employers and other information you might not otherwise be privy to. Allow a reputable service, such as Hound.com, to step in and provide a professional touch to your resume. It can go a long way in securing your dream job or help you transition into other fields such as marketing jobs or government jobs.
Even if you have no intentions of changing jobs right now, the peace of mind gives you confidence to face the uncertainty of the current job market and economic times. To be sure, things won't be improving to any large degree in the near future. You never know when that updated resume will be the one thing that puts you over the top when you least expect it.

By Dot on 11/15/2016Dot would recommend this product to a friendI really love how these snap together (with the special pliers-I don't think I'd ever get it together without them) and can be moved however I please.

Do not shoot that gun unless you find out exactly what it is. If it really is from the late 1800's or early 1900's, then it could have damascus barrels. Those were made for black powder shotshells only and WILL blow up if you try to use modern shells in them. Do an internet search on damascus barrel and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Doyle, I don't recommend it by any means but I grew up shooting smokeless 2 3/4 shells out of Damascus barrels with 2 1/2 inch chambers. Never had one split, crack or bulge. In fact the only ones I have definite knowledge of doing any of that were muzzleloaders that were loaded with smokeless. If it were mine I'd just cut down some 2 3/4 shells to 2 1/2 inches, reload them with bp and shoot it. That's what I do with mine now.

Hawg, I'm glad you didn't not have any problems but my remarks still stand. If you do an internet search, you'll find plenty of examples of blown damascas barrels from using smokeless powder. Human eyes and hands are too valuable to take chances with.

Shotguns and grenades have similar working pressures. I strongly urge anyone with an old shotgun to have a competent smith look it over before deciding to fire it.
Some(most) old shotguns have chambers shorter than modern ammo is made for. Pressures spike when modern loads are fired in them and when higher pressure modern ammo is used,well, it can get very wrong very quickly.
Me, I wouldn't fire a Spanish made antique single from an unknown maker on a bet without a good smith I'd trust my life and limb to.
To the OP,please post some pics of your shotgun if you can and describe any and all marks thereon so we have a better idea of what it is.
Obscure makers oft do not carry much market value, sorry.....

Avanti apologizes to Cadence, industry
Post a comment
FREMONT, Calif. Avanti Corp. issued a letter of apology Monday (July 30) for the "events" that led to last week's sentencing of several of its cofounders and the court-ordered $195 million restitution the company must pay to Cadence Design Systems Inc.
The brief letter does not directly acknowledge guilt or refer to the charges of source-code theft that brought about last week's conclusion of the six-year criminal case against the company.
Avanti meanwhile has scheduled a press conference for this Thursday (Aug. 2) to introduce the company's new management team, now under the direction of Paul Lo, Avanti's new president following the resignation last week of Gerald Hsu. Avanti has so far declined to comment on analyst reports that the company is losing employees and customers.
The letter, signed by Lo, states: "The Avanti Corporation apologizes to the EDA industry and especially to Cadence Design Systems for the events that led to the long-running dispute that resulted in a July 25, 2001, decision in Santa Clara County Superior Court. We regret the burdens that this highly public controversy has placed on customers, shareholders, employees, and the entire industry.
"In short, the Avanti Corporation is sorry for the events of the past. Our company now has new leadership, and our entire team of new leaders recognizes a special responsibility to undertake great efforts to maintain and improve the relationships that have been adversely affected by this controversy. We pledge to work hard to deserve the trust and support of our industry.
"We intend to honor this pledge by working with the 1,500 people of Avanti to continue developing and providing the over 40 Avanti products now used by semiconductor companies worldwide."
Cadence Design Systems was not immediately available to comment.

What next for Rusedski?
Greg Rusedski's Wimbledon hopes were dashed at the first hurdle when he lost to the American Vince Spadea in five sets. Where does that leave the British No.2?
It is not so much that he lost in the first round at Wimbledon 2000, but the fact that he crashed out to an opponent who was on a run of 22 consecutive defeats.
Rusedski will cling to the fact that although he was clearly out of sorts he served for the match - and only lost in a tense fifth set.
However this defeat follows his exit from the first round of the French Open and with a Davis Cup tie against Ecuador a week after Wimbledon he urgently needs to rediscover his form.
Rusedski claims to know what is wrong but can seemingly do little to change his present run of form and has decided to take a break from tennis for the duration of Wimbledon.
Is rest the best cure or is hard work the only remedy?
After 15 double faults in his first round loss is it a simple case that without a reliable serve Rusedski's game is found out to be one dimensional?
Can Rusedski rediscover the form that took him to the US Open Final in 1997?
What can he do to turn things around?
I have to agree with Gavin Reed. Greg needs a new backhand before he is going to get any further success and I suspect he knows it, which is why his confidence has evaporated. The sliced backhand is just not enough.
I think Greg should do what Agassi and Chang did and enter some of the smaller tournaments to win titles and regain his confidence. Once this has been acheived, his confidence will be increased and hopefully, he will be winning more matches in the bigger tournaments, hopefully a grand slam!
Barbara Angopa, UK
The problem with Rusedski, as someone above pointed out, is that he's a very average player blessed with an exceptional serve. Subsequently, when his serve is off, he's just average, period. Yes, he reached the 97 US Open final, but that was one purple patch in an otherwise so-so career. His backhand is not much above that of the average club player, and his volleys under-pressure are suspect at best.
What both Rusedski and Henman need to do is hire a decent coach to sort them out before it's to late. The right person is literally staring at them every day on BBC. An ex-winner and one of the best players on fast courts, he could whip them into shape, both physically and mentally, in no time at all.
His name? It's Mr. Pat Cash. Give him a call, boys!
I believe that he is just as good as Tim Henman, but due to injuries his form has yet to materialise this year. Although many of us out there are thinking surely if he is on home soil why can't he win? We have to consider the enormous amount of pressure that both the British number one and number two seed are under. I don't think that there is anything seroiusly wrong with his game plan or the way he plays, but I do feel that he should be looking at players such as Pete Sampras and watching his moves and look at how the 'better players' play.
Rachel Helen Bayley, England
What's wrong with British players such as L.Latimer and B.Cowan!? With some support and encouragement, they might manage to receive a shred of credit instead of being forgotten about as we remain obsessed about Rusedski and Henman. And maybe by noticing the women particularly, we can inspire some potential British tennis stars!
Greg Rusedski simply has to be patient. He has had some serious surgery and may not completely trust his feet. He knows he has the talent and he most certainly knows he has the will to get back to where he was. He is a much stronger competitor than Henman and should totally dismiss any negative thoughts. We should all get behind him and not speculate on any thought of failure.
Pip Patrick, UK
Greg is obviously going through a crisis with his game. He played some great tennis though he's struggling mentally. I don't think that anyone should kick him while he's down, he needs a lot of support at this time. He'll get it back together and then we'll see some more excellent tennis from him. British tennis seems to be in a slump. Where are the women? Since Virginia Wade there doesn't seem to be anyone around.
I am confident that Greg will bounce back. All great athletes and sportsmen have bad patches, he will learn from this one and come back a stronger player
Rusedski's serve may well have lost some of its potency but it was his inability to win break points which cost him against Spadea. The same thing also happened in the French against Dosedel. If he is to bounce back from this slump he needs to reinvent himself as an all-court player. His reliance on his serve over the years has begun to work against him, in that when it's not working 100 percent he doesn't seem to believe that the rest of his game is good enough. Sadly Greg still thinks he is a top ten player when, in actual fact, he's struggling to be top 50. When he accepts that he can begin the process of rebuilding his game instead of going into tournaments with ridiculously high targets. For all that, it was a great game.
Greg should never forget that form is temporary, but class is permanent.
He will be back.
Let's hope Rusedski can get it together for the upcoming David Cup tie. He thrives on teamwork, so maybe he can use it to help restore his confidence.
Once again we are putting a British sportsman down. He has had surgery and the stress of getting married. Did everyone think Sampras was finished when he had his back problems and didn't win every tournament he entered? Anyone who was privileged to see the Davis Cup matches at Birmingham will know that this guy tries all the time! Go Greg Go!
So Greg lost - big deal! It's a disappointment but not one that the British public isn't used to. Why should he have to put up with all this when he already knows he's got problems? The wider issue is that this country seems to have only two tennis players who are expected to achieve time and again and have to face national disappointment and criticism when they don't.
Until Greg can consistently play a top-spin backhand his career will only go one way.
Rusedski might be an English citizen but he is not English! What a joke it is for us Americans to watch you Brits waving the union jack during his matches. The bottom line is Rusedski is a mediocre tennis player and being Canadian-born a mediocre Englishman. Wave the flag for Henman - a true Brit.
What can the Gregster do to turn things around? Sort out his serve - that should raise his game by about 99 percent! Then learn how to win set/match-deciding service games after breaking an opponent (how many times did that happen vs. Spadea?). Finally, get his body and mind up to speed instead of cracking under pressure like a wet-behind-the-ears teenager (we can forgive Lleyton Hewitt, but Greg should know better). If he does all that, he'll recapture his 1997 US Open finalist form, you mark my words.
Phill Hood, UK
I think that Rusedski's run of form is unfortunate. His groundstrokes aren't exactly amazing but he's one of my favourite players for his willingness to battle during matches. We should let him do what he thinks is best so he can return in better shape. Maybe, if we're lucky, he might develop a top-spin backhand shot.
I think Greg has to believe in himself again. When he went 8-7 down in the final set against Spadea he looked beaten, he'd given up. He needs to get his old confidence back and then I'm sure we'll see him winning again!
Watching Rusedski you get the impression he still hasn't shaken off the psychological effects of his surgery. His game is based on power, the channelling of which puts tremendous stresses on the body. Whether he can rediscover his form depends on him overcoming the mental barrier that he might injure himself again.
Dee, UK
The decline in Greg's form can be directly linked to his acrimonious split with his former coach Tony Picard. When he was with Pickard he reached a Grand Slam final, his rankings were top rate and he was considered as a major force in the men's game. Greg needs to take stock of his situation and surround himself with talented people
who can bring out hte best facets of his game. This is clearly not happening now.
The match was one of two major tennis talents - Spadea was Top 20 last year - who have been caught in slumps largely caused by a lack of confidence. Both men have the ability to recover quickly and rediscover their form. Greg in particular is an exciting and multi-talented player. I look forward to many many more thrilling tennis matches from him and perhaps a Grad Slam win in New York!
On Monday I watched the most thrilling match between Rusedski and Spadea. Form is of course not something that changes dramatically with only simple advice. But it struck me how often Greg used his 'high- kicking' serve out wide instead of his more simple and reliable serve straight through the middle of the court. Although his serve outside is a fantastic weapon, I feel his serve down the middle
is far more fierce and should give him more 'easy' points. In the fourth and fifth set he used this 'big' serve more often but especially
on the 'deuce' side of the court he almost always went for the serve outside.
Let's face it, Rusedski is a fantastic server who can also play a small amount of tennis. If the serve lets him down, there's not much left.
He can earn some money being a TV pundit with the rest of the them. The Brits should just stick to rowing. It is the only sport we can hold our head up high where we know we are the best.
Not so long ago Andre Agassi was in the same spot as Greg. He has since won a Grand Slam. Greg has been a US Open finalist and has won nine titles helping to put Britain back among the world's elite tennis countries. Give him a break and let him get it back together again.
