Talansky's Announcement / It Won't Save Olmert
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert did not want to declare himself incapacitated, so as not to give Vice Prime Minister Tzipi Livni an advantage. Attorney General Menachem Mazuz did not want to declare Olmert incapacitated, so as not to set a dangerous precedent for the next attorney general and prime minister. But yesterday, someone finally stood up and dared to declare himself incapacitated: Morris Talansky.
Talansky's story has been told in English, but Olmert's, the more important one, will be told in Hebrew. In Olmert's tale, the plot runs in a predetermined direction, even if the order of the chapters changes. Thus even if Talansky gives no further testimony in Jerusalem, it will not save Olmert from being indicted.
The police promised the prosecution that the first batch of evidence against Olmert would be presented in early September. About two weeks after that, Mazuz and State Prosecutor Moshe Lador will decide whether to indict Olmert. If the police hurry, the draft indictment could be ready before Rosh Hashanah, and before the Kadima primary. If they tarry, the indictment will be postponed a little, until after the High Holidays.
The only question still open is the indictment's contents. The material on Mazuz and Lador's desks indicates that it will consist of at least two cases - Olmert's alleged double-billing for airline tickets and alleged influence-peddling in the Investments Center. If the Olmert-Talansky investigation is completed even without Talansky being cross-examined again, that will be the indictment's third section. If not, it will be presented later, alone or with one of the other cases still in the pipeline - political appointments in the Industry, Trade and Labor Ministry, the sale of Bank Leumi, and the house on Cremieux Street.
Olmert still faces serious suspicions of bribery, about which he was questioned under caution last week in addition to suspicions of fraud and breach of trust. But prosecutors will not charge Olmert with bribery alone, for fear of an acquittal that would bring down the entire case. If he is so charged, it will be tacked on to other charges.
Talansky was careful during his testimony in Israel not to incriminate himself - or Olmert - of having given or taken bribes. But he has already admitted that he has not always told nothing but the truth, and certainly not the whole truth. He is hiding a "black box," like the one Mazuz's predecessor, Elyakim Rubinstein, suspected in the investigation against Benjamin Netanyahu in the Hebron-Bar-On affair. Talansky's is a Pandora's box, which he will not open for fear of being harmed.
Talansky has two attorneys in New York. One of them, Neal Sher, was a Nazi-hunter in the U.S. Justice Department and later director of AIPAC. He has been friendly with Talansky since the days when both were aiding Shaare Zedek Medical Center. Yesterday, as Talansky's announcement was making waves in Israel, Sher said he could not comment - he was driving to Toronto.
But the more serious attorney is Bradley Simon, a former federal prosecutor in New York, whom Talansky hired to deal with the American investigation against him. "Talansky wants to continue cooperating with the Israeli authorities," Simon told Haaretz yesterday. "But without immunity, he could incriminate himself in the United States. So we've advised him not to continue testifying at this stage."
American suspects do not appear before the grand jury that examines the prosecution's evidence and decides whether there is reason to press charges. But Talansky's silence in New York will not help him if his testimony in Jerusalem provides FBI detectives with clues to follow up.
Talansky's attorneys will not say so explicitly, but he expects the Israeli Justice Ministry to arrange comprehensive immunity for him in America. That, however, is extremely complicated, and Talansky might first have to reveal more - which would not be good news for Olmert. Another possibility is that Talansky, still a suspect in Israel, could become a defendant, with Israel seeking his extradition from the U.S. This sub-plot is far from over. But even without it, Olmert's plot line is moving to center stage.

I am making a site so users can track their golf game.
I currently use this query to display all data. In the courses table.
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM courses ORDER BY coursename ASC");
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo "".$row['courseName']."
";}
The table has 16 columns, the only columns I want to work with is state then city. I want to make it so that a user selects a state from a dropdown list, after selecting the state I want another dropdown list with the cities of that state, after selecting the city I want to display all the "courseName"'s that fall under that city and state. I also want to make a option to choose all cities in the state. I have been working on a way to do this with 3 different pages but I would like to make if all on one page. Any help is appreciated.
The traditional and less user-friendly way is to put up a form with just the states, when submitted a second page displays all the cities in that state and finally a third page displays all the golf courses.
I want to make it so that a user selects a state from a dropdown list, after selecting the state I want another dropdown list with the cities of that state,
That is often termed a "linked drop list" or "linked select boxes" or "linked drop down menu php"
Searching for those terms will turn up a way of achieving this on the client. Essentially, PHP creates the full array of states and cities, turns them into JS arrays and sends the lot to the client - heavy, but once loaded the sorting is instantaneous.
Another way to do this is to use Ajax to refresh parts of the page.
Which you choose may depend on;
a) your skillsb) whether you want your site to work with JS turned offc) how many states/cities/golf courses you have
I presume this is what you were asking about rather than how to build up the sql statements ...

text: Reading some of Blue's posts, it got me thinking... I've never even entertained the idea of not being/becoming close friends with my bandmates, but it seems that some people consider their fellow band members to simply be work associates. I'm the kind of guy that joins a band BECAUSE of the band relationships you can build. The idea of being a close group touring, playing music, and experiencing life together has always been one of the driving factors in taking my music out of the bedroom. How do you guys see your band members? Do you form a tight-knit brotherhood (or sisterhood) with your band, or are you simply show-up-and-play coworkers?

DENVER, Jan. 1 (UPI) -- Evan Turner scored the final five points of a 44-point second quarter Wednesday that ignited Philadelphia to a 114-102 win over Denver.
The 76ers have won two in a row after losing nine out of 10. It was only their 10th victory of the season and just their third on the road.
There were seven Philadelphia players, including all the starters, in double figure scoring and seven different players produced at least two points during the big second quarter.
Philadelphia led by 14 to start the closing period and went on to hand the Nuggets their eighth consecutive defeat.
Turner scored 25 points along with five rebounds and six assists. Thaddeus Young had 17 points and 10 rebounds while Michael Carter-Williams added 16 points, nine boards and six assists.
JJ Hickson scored 19 points for the Nuggets, who were five games over the .500 mark when their current losing streak began.

The shirt and collar were also based on a hodge-podge of random pattern pieces, modified to work for the dress design. I dyed my hair rather than use a wig for this costume, as the wimple for the costume needs an additional comb to secure it to the head.

Every once in a while, one of my friends with children younger than mine will ask me a question about my kids' development – when they started doing this or that, what their first words were and when they said them, or how potty training went with so-and-so. I am always shocked to realize that I've forgotten so many of the little details of my children's younger years.
How often have you said the words, "I will never forget this moment!" only to discover years down the road that the details of that event have faded in your memory?
The forgotten trip
I had a particularly poignant experience with fading memories regarding a trip I took to Mexico when I was a young, single adult. That trip has been a living reminder of the importance of photos and videos in keeping my memories alive.
My college roommate and I decided to take a long weekend getaway to Mexico the summer after my sophomore year of college. I had spent the previous summer on a study abroad in Mexico and I was confident that I could be a great tour guide.
As soon as we arrived back in the US, I rushed in to the one-hour photo and dropped off my roll of film to be developed. I couldn't wait to see the pictures of our adventures. I was horrified to discover later that day that my entire roll of film had been eaten by one of the developing machines and not a single photo could be processed.
Crushed, I went back home and went on with my summer. Now, years later, I have few memories of that trip. If nothing else, my trip to Mexico proved to me that my memory is visually linked. Trips that I took before that year and the countless trips I've taken since have stayed alive in my memory for two reasons: 1) I take many pictures and 2) I regularly take them out to view, enjoy, and remember.
The not-forgotten childhood
Determined that I wouldn't let another memory be "lost," I have been diligent with taking photos and videos throughout my kids' growing up years. Although so many of the details have faded (When, exactly, did AJ start walking?!) there are other treasures whose memories will live on and not be forgotten because I captured them on film.
How else would I remember just how silly my 2nd daughter's "crazy eyes" eye trick was (she can no longer do this)…
Or how would I remember the somersault she taught herself to do in my mom's spa?
Those little, everyday moments caught on camera, and especially those caught on video camera, remain vivid in my memory. But those memories are only refreshed when I pull out the photos and videos and actually view them.
This year, I am embarking on a project to keep more memories alive. I've got hundreds of short clips of my kids singing, dancing, taking their first steps, performing at concerts, and countless other ordinary activities. As my kids get older, I want to remember those early days and I know the best way I can do that is to relive the moments that we shared together.
It may be a big job to gather all of the little video clips I have, but I can't wait to have them made into a DVD with YesVideo and watch them together as a family.
Do you have video clips or photos that are stored away somewhere that need to be brought out, organized, and enjoyed again? Join me in keeping your family memories alive in 2013!

Issue Date: July 5, 2010
Slowing Antibiotic Resistance
News Channels: Environmental SCENE
Keywords: Antibiotics, livestock
FDA has made it clear to the animal agriculture industry that feeding animals antibiotics for growth promotion poses a serious public health threat. In draft guidance published last week, FDA recommended that the industry stop using antibiotics that are medically important to humans unless they are necessary for animal health and are given with veterinary oversight.
The agency stopped short, however, of issuing regulations to prohibit the use of antibiotics to increase production or enhance growth of farm animals. FDA is hoping that farmers will adopt the guidelines voluntarily, but such hopes have not materialized in the past.
The guidance aims to help reduce antibiotic resistance in humans, which is worsening because of misuse and overuse of antibiotics in animal production. "To preserve the effectiveness of these important antimicrobial drugs, we simply must use them as judiciously as possible," Joshua M. Sharfstein, principal deputy commissioner of FDA, noted at a June 28 briefing. "Today's draft guidance provides general principles and key first steps for achieving that goal," he said.
It also sets the foundation for potential future regulations, but FDA would not comment on when those next steps might happen. The agency has attempted to ban the use of antibiotics in animal production for decades, but its efforts have been derailed by Congress under pressure from industry.
The pressure is likely to continue. The National Pork Producers Council issued a statement questioning the science on which FDA based its draft guidance. The industry group also expressed concern that the document could "lead to the elimination or costly review of previously approved animal health products."
Some members of Congress and public health advocates were also not pleased with FDA's announcement. Rep. Louise M. Slaughter (D-N.Y.), who has introduced legislation (H.R. 1549) that would phase out nontherapeutic uses of some antibiotics in food-producing animals, stressed that FDA has "not gone far enough or moved fast enough." Likewise, Laura Rogers, project director of the Pew Campaign on Human Health & Industrial Farming, urged FDA to "define and regulate what constitutes judicious use" and "move expeditiously toward the issuance of regulations."

|Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort in Destin is among the Panhandle's many exceptional vacation spots. (Courtesy of Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort)
PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. -- Southern hospitality, superb golf courses with big-name designer tags and some of Florida's most pristine beaches make the Panhandle an appealing golf getaway destination.
Play 18 holes by noon, head to the sugar-white-sand beaches for some rays, then enjoy ultra-fresh seafood at a rustic oyster bar, and you'll quickly understand the Panhandle good life.
Here are 10 reasons to plan a golf vacation to Florida's Panhandle:
From inland, parkland-style courses in tree-dotted Tallahassee to bayside and seaside gems near beach towns, the Panhandle offers a wide range of venues.
Play suggestions in the Tallahassee area include St. James Bay Golf Club and Southwood Golf Club at Summerbrooke.
In Destin, tee up at Emerald Bay, Indian Bayou Golf & Country Club, Shalimar Pointe Golf & Country Club or any of the four courses at the Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort.
In Panama City, try Hombre Golf Club. In Lynn Haven, just 15 minutes or so north of Panama City, you'll find public Nature Walk Golf Club and Panama Country Club, which is private but does offer limited public play.
Pensacola-area possibilities include Cypress Lakes Golf Club, Stonebrook Golf Club and Tiger Point Golf & Country Club.
While the Florida Panhandle often gets overlooked as golfers race to the peninsula, rest assured, big-name architects have fully discovered the northwest corner of the state. Course designers such as Tom Fazio, Greg Norman, Rees Jones, Robert Trent Jones Jr., Fred Couples, Davis Love III and Jerry Pate have fashioned layouts in the Panhandle.
Golf is the focus at resorts such as the Bay Point Wyndham Resort in Panama City Beach, with two 18-hole championship layouts, the Nicklaus Course and Meadows Course; Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort in Destin, with the Baytowne Course, Burnt Pine Course, Raven Course and Links Course; Bluewater Bay near Fort Walton Beach, where 27 holes of Tom Fazio/Jerry Pate golf is the draw; and Seascape Resort in Destin, home to the Joe Lee-designed Seascape Golf Club is a venerable favorite.
Your golf dollar goes a long way in the Panhandle where green fees are economically priced. There are a slew of courses to play in the less than $40 category. For instance, Defuniak Springs Country Club and Eglin Golf Course near Fort Walton Beach Golf Club are great picks for budget conscious golfers.
You'll be in hush puppy heaven in the Panhandle, which has a great line-up of waterfront seafood restaurants, oyster bars and crab shacks. Whether you want Apalachicola oysters on the half shell, a grilled grouper sandwich or jumbo shrimp steamed in lemon/garlic seasoning, you'll find it in this area of the Sunshine State.
Miles and miles of beautiful sandy beaches framed by turquoise waters offer lots of opportunities to refresh and recharge after a day on the course. Some outstanding beaches include Perdido Key State Park near Pensacola, Grayton Beach State Park near Destin, and Panama City Beach.
The fishing crazy town of Destin affords quick access to deep water with an offshore shelf that descends to 100 feet within 10 miles of the marinas. Big-game fish such as white and blue marlin and sailfish are possible, as well as red snapper, grouper and king mackerel.
Winding 26 miles along the Gulf of Mexico just west of Panama City Beach, this road is framed by dune lakes, state parks, upscale resorts and condos, artsy coastal villages, and funky beach bars and restaurants. Walkable modern coastal towns designed in the New Urbanist style such as Seaside, WaterColor and Rosemary Beach offer visitors relaxing places to shop and dine. The courses to play in the area include Camp Creek Golf Club, Sharks Tooth Golf Club and Origins Golf Club.
Air access to the Panhandle increased with the 2010 opening of the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport, which is situated in West Bay about a 10-minute drive from Panama City Beach. It's served by Southwest Airlines and Delta Airlines with daily flights from Atlanta, Baltimore, Houston, Nashville and St. Louis.
From sailing, snorkeling and scuba diving in the Gulf of Mexico to enjoying a cool libation at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville Cafe in Panama City Beach, there's a lot to do in the Panhandle after the last putt drops.

This was my forst visi to Zizzi for 9 years, so I went in with an open mind not knowing what to expect. The venue is really very nice, a converted church in a very smart suburb of Cheltenham and the whole thing is very tastefully done so from a comfort point of view, so far so good. I went with my 2 children (5 & 8) and they both went for the kids menu at £5.95 which for a nibble, Pizza and ball of ice cream seemed like pretty good value. I had a Pizza and a beer, you cant go wrong... or so I thought. The waitress was charming and really looked after us however the positive stuff really ends there. I had high hopes but as usual it (for me at least) descended into the same old chain restaurant experience of mediocre ( i am being kind) food dirty glasses and a confusing bill. The Pizza was very poor indeed, as an Italian I have to declare interest here, I have experienced this, one of our national culinary treasures, in every corner of Italy and I think that this quality of pizza is what I would reasonably expect in a motorway service station. Industrial and indigestible dough covered with semolina flour for texture (thats the dusty coating on the base) and smeared with a sweet sickly tomato sauce and mozarella that sets like concrete after 5 minutes, and poor quality toppings. As I said perfectly acceptable in a filling station, not in a serious pizzeria, serve stuff like that in italy and you could well end up being deported! My kids were as unimpressed as I was and left half of theirs. The experince was toppoed off by a farcical conversation over the bill, I noticed that I had been over charged on the kids menus to the tune of £4 and when I queried this with the manager he informed me that as I had asked for a little ham to be added to the kids mushroom pizza he had to charge an extra topping, in other words 4 small slices of ham for £4 erm hang on thats £1 per slice is it not, the reply "thats the price of the topplings im afraid". Hmmmmm "is that written on the menu"? i asked, reasonable question i thought, "erm no sorry it doesnt actually say it on our menus" I was losing the will to live at this point but then came the killer line "well sir if you want to question the bill then there is a mark up, i mean that beer that I have charged you £5.50 for I actually buy in for £1.60" .... What!!! was he being serious, like I want to know the margin on each item..... holy moly. Well as "gesture of goodwill" he removed the £4 ham (which incidentally I would estimate at around 5g per slice making a Kg worth a handsome £200...nice work if you can get it) The corrected bill duly arrived, I then noticed that the artichokes I had asked for instead of olives on my pizza were also charged at £2, that is to say 6 Quarter artichoke hearts out of a tin or £1.32 per artichoke heart..... i was starting to get irritable and sent him away again to rebalance the books a second time..... Sometimes I despair of these chain restaurants, they start as nice little quality businesses that are then sold on to private equity firms run by greedy investors looking to turn a monstrous profit at the expense of their long suffering customers & staff by charging £1.32 for a tinned artichoke. Despite this bizzarre experience I really felt for the staff, many of whom it seemed didnt have a blinking clue what they were doing but were really trying hard to look after the customers and were probably being paid a pittance for the privilege so I left them a tip anyway as I think they deserve it especially as I am back at home writing my tale of woe enjoying a glass of chilled Pinot Grigio and they are still at the restaurant flogging ham at £200 per Kg to disgruntled cutomers who never spotted it on the menu beacause it aint there....... hey ho....
I'd heard a lot about Zizi's before going there, so was expecting a lot from this place. Naturally, it didn't quite live up to my expectations.
Part of a national chain of Italian restaurants, Zizis, has a good reputation for quality food at reasonable prices. Cheltenham's restaurant opened several years ago and occupies a space in an old church, just off Suffolk Square, not too far from the town centre.
My first impressions were great. The place was huge (not suprising perhaps considering it was a former church). It was decorated in ornate and decorative surroundings, much in keeping with the former church. Many of the stained glass windows remain, and the primary structure of the church remains intact, which was delightful to see.
Now comes my gripe. It was very clinical, despite the magnificant ambience within. The chairs and tables were lined up in rows, which made it resemble a school dinner hall more than a classy restaurant. This was a pity, and probably had more to do with the structure of the church than anything else. But the layout made it very noisy indeed, which was a shame because we had no barriers next to us, in front of us, or behind us; plus a large hen party had just sat down. We felt...exposed.
The other gripe was the bar upstairs which was stifling. A large fan provided some cool comfort but did not achieve a great deal. Again, planning permission evidently prohibited the placing of an aircon unit up here.
Food was brilliant. Freshly-cooked pizzas in a kitchen which you could see into. It was a glorious novelty being able to watch the chefs at work. Prices weren't too steep either at about £20-25 for a 3 course meal per head.
All in all, it was a good restaurant but could certainly benefit with some strategically placed barriers of some sort - perhaps some foliage, bushes or indoor plants, which could act as a barrier between tables - giving romantic couples some much needed privacy.

Italy is eternal elegant, picturesque and one of the finest holiday destinations of the world. There are plenty of exciting activities to engage while holidaying in Italy like water sports, mountain resorts where one can enjoy winter sports such as skiing and there are many beautiful places where one can simply relax and unwind and enjoy the marvelous sight seeing places. There are also several Italian islands like Sicily with its lush hillsides, rugged mountains and sandy beaches. For accommodation there are many rented villas or apartments available in Italy and France.
Holiday homes are available world wide in a variety of different accommodation types to suit the most budget minded people. One can avail themselves of a holiday home fully equipped with modern features, well furnished and allowing all the comforts of home while affording the time to visit and observe the lifestyles unique to the area. If you want to experience luxury and a posh environment, once in a lifetime then your wish can sure be fulfilled.
Holiday apartments Italy around the world are often equipped with all the amenities like swimming pools, barbeques, grills, and entertainment systems that allow for dining and socializing in-house, thus further stretching the budget. For the sports-minded people, your holiday home rental package will clue you in on local golf courses, tennis courts, and spa locations to keep you rejuvenate and in shape while away from home.
Instead of staying in an Italian hotel, a holiday apartment will be more beneficial as it has more space, more privacy, laundry and kitchen facilities and is more affordable. Like we can say that it is 50% more cheaply than staying in hotel. You may feel like sitting in a home.
Staying at the holiday apartments Italy gives you a bit more freedom in terms of your daily schedule and movements than a hotel usually affords. You can come and go when you need to, and if you are on a budget you can save a bit of money by purchasing some local, fresh products and cooking yourself if you are tired from a whole day out and want to relax at "home".
An apartment vacation rental also allows you to save your money, if you will be staying in one place for more than a few days (the cost per day is usually lower than hotels). Keep in mind that many holiday apartments in Italy are located within a larger farmhouse or villa that has been divided. You generally have your own keys and have a complete freedom on depending on the property but might not have the whole property to yourself.

This has a nice greyish tan coloring to the somewhat subtle flourishes and a what I would call a cadet blue (a little greyer than what my computer is showing me) coloring to the paper. I think it will serve well as an interesting background paper to a LO's. I can easily see photos coordinating with the coloring.
This paper is another one of the beautiful patterned papers from the Blue Awning line by K and Company. I love every single pattern of paper from this line it is all gorgeous. It makes some really gorgeous LOs.
this paper is really elegant and antique looking. i love the distressed looking edges.
i used this to scrap concert tickets and pictures and it looks awesome
Really like the color. Can not wait to use in my sb.

Applied Energy, 2011, vol. 88, issue 8, 2871-2884
A model and a corresponding numerical procedure, based on the finite-difference method, have been developed for the prediction of buildings thermal behavior under the influence of all possible thermal loads and the "guidance" of cooling control system in conjunction with thermal comfort requirements. Using the developed procedure analyses have been conducted concerning the effects of thermostat operation mode and cooling power in terms of the time, on the total cooling energy consumption for the ideal space cooling, as well as for various usually encountered real cases, thus trying to find ways to reduce cooling energy consumption. The results lead to suggestions for energy savings up to 10%. Extensive comparisons between the ideal and various real cooling modes showed small differences in the 24-h cooling energy consumption. Because of the above finding, our detailed ideal cooling mode predictions gain considerable value and can be considered as a basis for comparison with real cases. They may also provide a good estimate of energy savings obtained if we decide to increase thermostat set point temperature. Therefore, as the extent of cooling energy saving is a priori known, one can decide if (and how much) it is worthy to increase thermostat set point temperature at the expense of thermal comfort. All results of the study, which refer to the Typical Athens Buildings during the typical Athens summer day, under the usual ranges of thermal loads, may be applicable to other regions with similar conditions.

NXP to buy GPS chip specialist GloNav
Post a comment
LONDON NXP Semiconductors (Eindhoven, the Netherlands) is paying at least $85 million in cash for GloNav Inc. the specialist developer of chips for GPS gear and other satellite navigation systems.
The Dutch group, formerly Philips Semiconductors, could pay an extra $25 million in cash providing GloNav (Newport Beach, Calif.) meets certain revenue and product development targets.
GloNav was formed by the spinout of the GPS business of Ceva Inc. and the acquisition of RFDomus Inc. enabled by $16.2 million of capital from Atlantic Bridge Ventures (Dublin, Ireland). The company has engineering teams in Daventry, England, Dublin and Newport Beach, California.
The fabless chip, although operationally headquartered in Newport Beach, California, has its legal and financial headquarters in Dublin.
The deal gives NXP immediate access to GPS products and technology, and it is the third acquisition by NXP over the past 15 months since it was bought by a private equity group in September 2006. Two of the deal focused on extending the chip maker's reach in mobile communications.
The company bought the cellular communications business of Silicon Laboratories in February for $285 million.
"This is the second major acquisition that we have made this year to strengthen our Mobile and Personal Business Unit that quickly adds complementary technologies to our existing portfolio and meets our customers' demands for innovative products. We are a leader in cellular system solutions. Combining GloNav's GPS expertise with NXPs FM Radio, Bluetooth, USB and NFC leadership, enables us to offer a broader connectivity suite to the mobile phone market," commented Frans van Houten, Chief Executive Officer, NXP Semiconductors.
GloNav has approximately 50 employees who will join NXP's fast growing Mobile and Personal Business Unit.
GloNav has a significant intellectual property portfolio and over 20 years of technology heritage in silicon-based GPS devices. It focuses on single chip assisted GPS silicon and 90nm devices for both personal navigation devices and mobile phones.
Recent market research suggests that by 2010, approximately 40 percent (some 560 million) of mobile phones will be equipped with GPS functionality.
"Becoming part of NXP allows us to achieve the required scale in innovation, and opens up many new markets and customers in order to exploit the significant market potential for GPS. Our engineers are excited to become part of ambitious leadership projects in state-of-the-art technologies and to join their expertise to one of the leaders in cellular system solutions," commented Bill McLean, GloNav's Chief Executive Officer.
The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2008, subject to regulatory approvals.

Nintendo's Third Party Problem
Nintendo's Wii U has been out for roughly eight months and there have been numerous reports of third party developers canceling Wii U versions of their games or simply not developing for the console. Ubisoft, once one of the Wii U's most prominent third party supporters with titles like Rabbids Land, ZombiU, and Assassin's Creed III, has ceased all Wii U exclusives, including the long awaited Rayman Legends, and even Electronic Arts has announced that it has no Wii U titles currently in development. It looks like hard times for the Wii U and Nintendo may have a failing console on their hands.
However, doesn't this scenario seem familiar to anyone? Nintendo has been in this situation not once but twice before. The Nintendo 64 struggled with its third party support due to the company's decision to stick with cartridges instead of moving on to compact discs and the GameCube was a distant third behind the Xbox and PlayStation 2 during the sixth generation of consoles due in large part to more third party games coming out on the other consoles. However, Nintendo have always manage to weather the storm last place in a console generation usually brings. So why should this generation be any different?
Gamers like to talk about how Nintendo is finally going to fall and how they're going to have to either become a third party developer or go out of business. It's expected that Nintendo is going to go the way of Sega and survive only on their licenses. However, Nintendo has a thriving handheld market and although the 3DS isn't as popular as the original DS, it is doing well enough to keep the company afloat. What's more is the 3DS does have decent third party support so does Nintendo have a third party problem at all?
I know it seems like I'm asking more questions than answering but there's a point to this and here it is: Yes this generation is different and yes Nintendo still indeed has a third party problem. However the real question is how long will Nintendo remain in the console business? You see, for the first time in 30 years, Nintendo is losing money. Despite the N64 and GameCube's problems, those consoles manages to make money for the company because the built them so efficiently that they would still make money despite it's low sales. The Wii at the end of its life wasn't so lucky and the company reported its first loss back in 2011. Similarly, the 3DS despite its success is still losing money with Nintendo because they expected the sales to be better than what they currently are. So the company was already hemorrhaging money when the Wii U came out and lets not forget that the Wii U is the company's first HD console, which costs much more than SD content.
Some people say that you buy a Nintendo console now to play Nintendo games, not to play third party titles and therefore the point is moot. However, time has shown that this has managed to keep Nintendo afloat but not dominate its market like it did in the NES and SNES days. That may have been fine then but Nintendo is now in a place where just getting by is not going to cut it anymore. A company that's losing money combined with a failing product cannot stand and unless something drastic happens, the console race may turn into a two man show.
It's true that Nintendo has had a third party problem but it's only been a problem that has concerned gamers up to this point. There weren't enough games for the N64, games played awkwardly on the GameCube and most of the third party games on the Wii were crap but that only concerned those who played and developed the games, not the business end of the company. However, now it's a business problem. Because even though we have Super Mario 3D World, Super Smash Bros, and The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker HD coming soon, time has proven that's not enough.
I would rather Nintendo not fade away but I'm not so blind as to not see that they did this to themselves as well. I'll probably buy a Wii U at some point because I want to play Mario Kart 8 even though its the same thing as the other Mario Karts and I'm an idiot but it won't be enough. Nintendo itself isn't enough anymore. Nostalgia can only take you so far and it looks like that point is now.

College personnel work closely with area businesses and industry for the purpose of job placement. The college staff can assist students in obtaining permanent employment upon graduation; however, the college does not guarantee employment. Students in their last semester may elect to register their credentials (resumes, recommendations, etc.) with Career Services to enhance placement efforts.
UA-PTC students have been very successful at obtaining quality employment after graduation. According to student responses on the Spring 2009 commencement survey, the top employments includes:
Hospitals and Medical Offices
Hospitals and medical offices offer a broad range of career opportunities at multiple work locations. UA-PTC students have gone on to work as medical transcriptionists, Licensed Practical Nurses, Licensed Respiratory Therapists, dental assistants, and much more. Students with degrees in Applied Electronics have gone on to find employment in hospitals maintaining medication equipment, manufacturing needed apparatuses, or working in their communication departments. With a degree in the medical fields, UA-PTC students have been able to compete for the best jobs in one of the fastest growing employment markets.
State of Arkansas Employment Opportunities:
The State of Arkansas has been a top choice for UA-PTC students. Students from the hospitality and culinary programs can find employment with Parks and Tourism, while students from the paralegal program may be busy in the governmental offices. Computer Information Systems students are able to become part of the networking team that supports governmental offices. UA-PTC students are prepared for a number of fields within state government.
Daycare Facilities
The Early Childhood Education programs at UA - Pulaski Technical College prepare students to choose employment opportunities that range from caretakers in the infant and toddler areas to program coordinators at daycare facilities. With class work ranging from educational technology to child growth and development, UA-PTC students are able to use their well-rounded studies to provide quality educational experiences for the children that they serve.
Transportation Industry
Whether it is as an entrepreneur starting a body shop or finding employment at an established dealership, a degree in automotive/collision repair has allowed students to choose their career path in this lucrative field. Other students may choose careers with automotive centers. Students within the diesel field may select to go with companies within the trucking field. With the hands-on experience with the newest technologies in the field, UA-PTC students have entered the job market ahead of other competitors.
Aviation Industry
Students with degrees and technical certificate from the Department of Aerospace Technology have an edge when seeking employment within the aviation field. With several aviation companies and a national airport nestled in Little Rock, there is a strong demand for well-trained professionals. With degrees ranging from aviation management to professional pilot and air frame to power-plant, UA-PTC students have repeatedly been successful in impressing local businesses with their level of training.
Culinary and Hospitality Related
When students graduate from the Culinary and Hospitality programs at UA-PTC, the possibilities are endless. Whether they are seeking employment as a private chef or operations manager for a catering company, the training students have been afforded from the areas best chefs has them ready for every opportunity. Students with Hospitality degrees have successfully sought employment at resorts and in the areas of development and advancement for large companies.
Federal Government (including military)
UA-PTC students have successfully found employment with the federal government. Utilizing their degree from UA-PTC, a number of students have enlisted as officers in the armed forces while others have found management opportunities through the skills they acquired in their business program.
The Entrepreneur option of the business program has afforded a number of students with the opportunity to be their own boss. Further, students with degrees in welding, manufacturing, or drafting have been able to serve as independent contractors for large corporations or private business owners within their respective fields. Whether it is setting up an independently owned and operated body shop or serving as a private pilot, students at UA-PTC have shaped their own future.

Director Joe Maggio has a game cast, a unique hook and a sharp eye. All these strengths come together to give us a tale of culinary horror that is often troubling but never truly compelling.
As the film opens, we find that Chef Peter Grey (James Le Gros) is not in a good mood. He is having trouble living up to the first half of his title as Celebrity Chef. He must endure product placement, marketing strategies and annoyingly perky co-workers when all he wants to do is cook. When he hears that his TV show may be canceled soon, he retreats to his restaurant only to find worse news waiting there. What should be a bustling display of gastronomic splendor is as quiet as a morgue. It seems fitting since his culinary career has freshly expired. This is all thanks to a single withering review by food blogger J.T. Franks (Joshua Leonard) which costs Grey his adoring audience and his restaurant.
Grey heads to his house in the countryside and hatches a plan over one of his elaborate single-serving meals. Before you know it, Franks has been drugged and chained up in Grey's basement. What follows is a most unusual form of torture. Grey wants to teach Franks a lesson by making him eat his words. He makes Franks perform tasks like preparing a perfect over-easy egg (no runny yolks here) or cooking a steak medium-rare. When Franks inevitably fails (cooking in handcuffs under duress will do that), Grey punishes him with starvation and worse. What's worse, you ask? How about a frying pan to the face or some cutlery through one's hand? Grey's mistreatment of Franks and a parallel investigation by Mrs. Franks (Amy Seimetz) and her plucky P.I. (Larry Fessenden) takes the film to its poetic finish.
Bitter Feast starts in such a strong fashion, that it's disappointing to see it lose steam during its second half. I believe this is because of the repetitive nature of Grey's torture tactics. There is never any tension because Grey is always in control. Franks always fails in his tasks and suffers through the atrocities heaped upon him. Suspense comes from uncertainty and there is none of that to be found here. Even the circular climax is heavily foreshadowed by events from Grey's abusive childhood. This brings me to my other issue with the characters themselves. Grey's past is supposed to make him slightly sympathetic (at least at the outset) while Franks is weighed down with a dead son and a failed career as an author. These attempts to humanize them fail miserably because we don't see any glimmers of the men they used to be; the ones worth giving a damn about. They both start the film as bastards until one turns psychotic and the other turns into a screamer.
Despite my difficulties with the central characters, I wouldn't write off the film. For starters, it has an undeniably unique take on the 'test by torture' genre. After the Saw series and all of its elaborate contraptions, it's refreshing to see that the simple act of cooking an egg can be turned into a life or death scenario. Joe Maggio (who also wrote the film) deserves a lot of credit for the clever idea of a chef extracting revenge in a way that exploits his particular skill set. While we're on Grey's character, I want to give kudos to Le Gros for his disturbing turn as a man who has completely given in to his dark side. He is a model of coiled rage waiting to lash out at anyone that gets in his way. Leonard has the thankless job of screaming his lungs out and begging for mercy but does so admirably. Cinematographer Michael McDonough also deserves praise for visually communicating Grey's detachment from normalcy. The sterile shots of him preparing dinner with surgical precision are some of the most chilling in the film.
I suspect Bitter Feast would have been more effective in a shorter format. Stretched out to feature length proportions, it is easy to notice when stagnation sets in. With that said, I can't write screenplays, direct or act. I guess what I'm saying is, I hope Joe Maggio's house doesn't have a basement.
Next up, we have a Deleted Scene and Alternate Ending. While the deleted scene doesn't add much to the film, the alternate ending perfectly illustrates how an addition or subtraction of 30 seconds during the climax can change the entire tone of everything that came before it. As presented, the film finishes in a dark place. The alternate ending changes all that by going so upbeat that it almost seems comical. It's good to see it included here but I'm glad the film has its current ending.
A Making Of featurette follows with roughly half an hour of footage. This includes interviews with Maggio and much of the crew including the producers, the cinematographer, the food stylist and the make-up effects artist. Maggio is honest about his past experiences on micro-budgeted films and speaks enthusiastically about his first crack at something a bit grander in scope. He talks about the way that Fessenden solicited him for the project. There is some discussion of the Canon 5D camera that was used due to its low-light sensitivity.
A Mario Batali Interview is also included. Batali has a small but vigorous role in the film as Grey's restaurant financier. This interview conducted by Maggio is short (less than 10 minutes) but gives us enough time to hear the reality of how celebrity chefs (make no mistake, Batali fits the description) respond to food bloggers and negative reviews. Batali is also entertaining thanks to his interest in topics other than food. He speaks intelligently about movies and music which left me wishing that this interview had been a bit longer. We close things out with a series of black and white shots of the cast and crew entitled Feast Portraits. A Teaser and Trailer are also present.

IRISH Justice Minister Alan Shatter has been asked to consider Protestant victims and survivors of institutional abuse in the Republic of Ireland (ROI) whose circumstances were not investigated as part of the Ryan Inquiry.
The First and Deputy First Ministers stated: "As these allegations fall outside the jurisdiction of the Northern Ireland Executive, they cannot be investigated by the Inquiry into Historical Institutional Abuse here.
"We have registered our concerns about this group of victims and survivors with Alan Shatter TD, who is considering the issue."
Green MLA Stephen Agnew, who raised the issue, also asked what "support mechanisms were in place for residents of Northern Ireland who, as children, were placed in Protestant institutions in the Republic of Ireland and who suffered institutional abuse."
The Ministers replied: "Support is currently available for any victims and survivors of historical institutional abuse through Lifeline, who can be contacted 24 hours a day on 0808 808 8000.
"Lifeline counsellors will help callers to get through the initial crisis and then refer callers to other support. The NI Direct website Historical Institutional Abuse page, as well as providing information about the Inquiry and Lifeline contact details, provides other key contacts that victims and survivors may find useful."

Google Adsense is a webmasters dream because of the ease of implementation and potential for incredible earnings with the right niche and traffic numbers.
The inherent problem is that many webmasters rarely take full advantage of the Adsense platform and wind up dropping the program or waiting months on end to ever see their first payout; the blame can be pointed toward a lack of understanding of Google Adsense along with failure to experiment with the money making platform.
I've been using Google Adsense on my websites and blogs for years now, earning decent money, but more importantly: discovering what works and what's a load of bull.
In this article, I'd like to share a collection of strategies and tactics to increase your Google Adsense earnings from where they should be placed to how to effectively get the most from each page without doing much more than a few tweaks here and there.
Sound good? Let's do this …
Create Informative (but "Passable") Content
What does that even mean?
Content, as you know, is that gets people to your website; it's what search engines index (search placement), can be used to promote your brand/products/whatever, and gives people a reason to stick around and simply put: the reason people use the web.
Your content needs to be informational, first and foremost. Content needs to have a reason to exist whether it's to teach, review or just entertaining. However, your content also needs to be "passable".
Passable content are articles and posts, on your website, that will share the information you promised but just "shallow" enough so that readers are ready to dig further into your recommendations – in this case, they're more likely to click on the advertisements.
For example: I could write a detailed article that shares every piece of information on a certain subject and then tell readers to dig deeper into my website with a link OR I could write content that is somewhat 'incomplete' that gives the readers a reason to look into what's being advertised on your website.
The advertisement, in this case, becomes the additional information or call-to-action when placed intelligently on your website; this greatly increases your click through rate and your overall earnings.
Use what Works and Leverage the Rest
Placement is another element of making the most from Google Adsense; an incorrectly placed advertisement will have little to no gain on your website despite any amount of traffic you throw toward it.
Straight from the horse's mouth, Google has published case studies and reports that share which areas have the greatest click through ratings; likewise, they openly share the highest performing ad units because, after all, they want to make money just the same as you do.
Check out this link about Google Adsense which has published reports and suggestions Google has detailed as being the best options for Adsense placement on your website.
From my own experience, I've found that placing an advertisement in the top-right of a sidebar to be enormously effective with gaining ad clicks because it's a common area for individuals to find ads.
Other areas to place your Google Adsense ads include:
- A banner across the top of your page – next to the logo
- Advertisement at the end of the post and before comments
- Adsense injected within the body – creating a "break" for the readers
Once the placement is down pat – it's only a matter of leveraging what works to increase your Adsense profits and click through ratings.
Over a month or two of running your Adsense, I would recommend that you take the time to begin blocking low performing ad networks which can be accessed within the Adsense dashboard. Likewise, you should filter out the ad channels that are no longer performing and receiving clicks on your website; this dramatically changes the way you earn with Adsense and should be a continuous process of tweaking to ensure the right ads are being displayed on your website.
Make Everything BIGGER
People have begun to become "blind" to advertising on the web; this means that most advertising has reached a point that people no longer actively noticed them despite the efforts of the advertisers methods such as flashing banners or attractive models.
One way to circumvent this ad blindness is to go bigger. Google Adsense has published reports stating that the larger ad unit, in their Adsense platform, has greater results for the websites they've tracked.
Yes, this does mean that more of your content may be pushed below the fold but these larger units have higher click through rating which means a much greater earning for your business.
Likewise, it's important that you place these ad units around common areas where visitors would normally be clicking such as the comment section at the bottom or next to the social media icons when they're ready to share. This isn't to trick users into clicking your ads (that's bad practice); it's simply there to make sure that your huge ad unit is right in their face.
Over time, in my personal opinion, this tactic won't have the same effect because, just like users did in the past, people become blind to these ads; going larger won't be the difference maker. The solution to this problem, on a short term scale, is to constantly shift around your advertisements so even repeat visitors will have something different to examine when landing on your page.
Know your Visitors and Entry Sources
Look, the major reason that your high-tech website isn't getting a lot of Adsense play is that your users are probably too sophisticated; they understand online advertising and will actively avoid it or use adblock plugins, in their browser, to completely remove ads from their web experience.
The first thing to focus on is knowing your visitor; the average Joe that is likely to click on your ad. This factor has much to do with their demographics (gender, income, location) but also their overall intelligence.
For example: I would be hard pressed to have high click through rate on a website aimed at web designers because these people see online advertising (and work with it) day in and day out. On the flip side, a topic that is aimed at an older generation may see the ads as far more beneficial because they are new to the web platform or will be more pressed to learn more through advertising.
This isn't a form of discrimination but there are factors in it; people that are, for a lack of a better term, "less tech savvy" will be far more likely to click on your Google Adsense. In all, your niche topic will carry different demographics so if you choose to go after high-tech individuals than you're less likely to earn with the platform.
Another item to focus on is where people are coming from to land on your website. People that come from websites that have a younger, tech-savvy demographic can be tweaked to speak toward the content "needs" of their generation. Likewise, entry sources that are sent from websites that have a larger, older demographic will seek different information than that of a younger crowd.
Knowing where your visitors come from allows you to make the necessary tweaks and ad placement changes so that visitors aren't 'blind' to your advertising and so that you're writing content which Google matches with appropriate, generation-specific advertising.
Test a Temporary Hiatus
Google is a bit confusing at times; on the SEO side, they tell you that more advertising means you're less likely to be accepted as an authority (because they see your site as too ad heavy) but, on the flip side, Google Adsense will alert you that your website could be displaying more ads.
Where's the balance?
A while back, I did a test where I completely removed the Google Adsense ads from my website. Earnings, obviously, went down for that month but it allowed people to "take a breather" from landing on yet another website that displayed ads – it was a change up from the usual.
A month later, I turned the Adsense ads back on and my click through rating shot through the roof because people were now reintroduced to the advertising, marketing messages were relevant and because there was a fresh set of eyes landing (and digging around) on the website.
Try it. Take the temporary hit from making your Adsense check and see if you see a greater increase in your 'time on site' and less 'bounce rate' because people aren't put off by your website having ads and then sling them right back on, a month later, to build up a quick spike (making up for the down time).
Final Thoughts and Suggestions
Adsense can be a great addition to your affiliate marketing business (and other projects) because it's a quick way to monetize a website and develop different income streams.
Optimization through ad placement, testing, tweaking, leveraging, and your own involvement through content production will have vastly different results than any other individual but these tactics have been tried and tested in a real-world environment; your own results are completely up to how willing you are to try new things.
Do it. Add Adsense on your website along with your affiliate promotions; see what works best, optimize and increase your bottom line. There's no pain in adding Adsense; this is one thing you definitely want to give a go sometime in your business lifetime.

Sound Off: Chris Nolan's Inception - So What Did You Think?
by Alex Billington
July 16, 2010
Now that you've seen it, what did you think? Its now been 520 days from when it was first announced last year that Christopher Nolan's next movie would be Inception. Now finally hitting theaters everywhere today is one of this year's most highly anticipated action movies - Inception. So how is this epic, complex, awe-inspiring sci-fi action-thriller? Is it Nolan's new masterpiece or just another great movie, but not better than his others? How was the cast, lead by Leonardo DiCaprio and Joseph Gordon-Levitt? Was it too complex? If you've seen it, then leave us a comment below and let us know what you thought of Inception!
To fuel the fire, I just watched Inception again for my second time earlier tonight and holy sh*t my mind is still numb for how brilliant and complex and visually stunning that entire film is, from start to top-spinnin' finish! It's really a piece of art, it's so good. Chris Nolan is really a genius and he's crafted another amazing film here. From the story to the characters to the visuals, to the intensity and flow and emotion of DiCaprio's character, it was all perfectly put together. There were some scenes that I totally loved, like the hallway fight with JGL and anything involving Dileep Rao (because he's awesome) like the entire bridge-drop sequence.
What I also really love about Inception is that it gets your mind thinking, it starts up discussions, it's one of those movies that everyone comes out of talking about, just because there's so much to talk about. I thought Nolan ended it perfectly as well, leaving just enough to satisfy those who want to see it end happily, plus a little hint of more for those who want to ponder other possibilities. This is one movie you cannot miss, it's an experience, a true highlight of the summer. And after seeing it, you must join the discussion, right here.
What did you think of Inception? Christopher Nolan's latest masterpiece or not even close?

When I (deeply) force the worker thread's results to be strict, I observe both cores working, but the execution time (elapsed) slower. As much as a like the Haskell type system, sometimes butting your head up against a wall is less painful than trying to optimise for speed.

Norwich City manager Alex Neil 'disappointed' by David McNally's departure and will consider future at the end of the season
Norwich manager Alex Neil is disappointed by the departure of the club's chief executive and says he will assess his own position at the end of the season.
David McNally announced his resignation following the Canaries' loss to Manchester United on Saturday, which left the team four points adrift of safety with two games left to play.
Norwich play Watford on Wednesday, with the future of Hornets head coach Quique Sanchez Flores increasingly uncertain, but Neil's side will be relegated regardless if Sunderland beat Everton.
Asked if he would consider his own future should Norwich go down, Neil said: "I'll certainly look at my contribution this season, look at my team individually in terms of their contribution and the bigger picture in terms of the club and what we've managed to do on the field and off the field.
"Recruitment is a part of that, a whole load of things needs analysing.
"I'll speak to the powers that be and the board but I don't think anything is ever off the table in football. We spoke about Quique Flores earlier on.
"At the end of the season I'll be judging how I've performed, how other people have performed and I'm pretty sure people will be judging me. That's normal in the Premier League."
Asked he still wants to be at Norwich, Neil said: "Of course, this is a club I've been given the task to help.
"Unfortunately we're not in the position I'd like us to be but we need to crack on and see where it takes us."
McNally was a key figure in appointing Neil as manager in January 2015 and had been at the club since 2009, when the Canaries were languishing in League One.
"I'm disappointed he left the club, I had a real good relationship with David," Neil said.
"He showed trust and faith in me, he helped bring me to the club. I'm surprised, disappointed. I think we've lost a really important figure for us."
