text: Seriously, this guy has to be one of the worst all around players I've seen on an NBA court. Aside from a few good defensive flashes in his career, he's been useless and should be on the all NBA draft bust list along with Kwame Brown, Anthony Randolph and Greg Oden.What surprises me is how he's survived in the NBA for so long without being sent down to the D-league or being waived off the Knicks' and Nuggets' rosters.When the Knicks decided to draft him back in the summer of 2006, was he projected to be a future NBA star by scouts? Or was the reason behind the Knicks drafting him was Isiah Thomas going through one of his sleeping pill cycles?

wikiHow to Stop a Farmer in Imobsters
Being on Imobsters one has to carry out many dangerous missions. Stopping farmers is one of them.This article will help you accomplish your mission.
1Identify the type of farmer you are dealing with.
- Cows with Delusions/Wannabes
- These "Farmers" are the easiest to get rid off, to know if your farmer is a wannabe they fall into the following;
- They care about their stats
- They are scared of the hit list
- They are scared of clans
- They are getting farmed themselves.
- Max them for a few days and then tell them that it will continue unless they stop.
- Griefer
- These are a bit harder to deal with but can still be handled. To know if you farmer is a griefer they fall into the following;
- They max hit list you throughout the day
- They farm you even if you have no money on you
- They constantly taunt you
- To deal with them just don't entertain yourself, give them no response whatsoever. They will get bored of you soon and will leave you alone.
- Farmer
- Just like the griefer they are a bit hard to deal with but not impossible. To know if you have a farmer they fall into the following;
- They take your money constantly, some of them even figure out when you get paid.
- If they do not get money the first time they will leave you alone (unless you are dealing with an exp farmer)
- They are not scared of clans and will sometimes war two or more at once.
- Have $0/hour income
- Beef up your defence, this is a great way to handle a farmer and the only way to handle an exp farmer. If they can not steal your money (or get exp) they will leave you alone.
- Cows with Delusions/Wannabes
2Have your upkeep equal your income, farmers want money. Deny that and we will find a better cow (but we make check up on you later)
3Do not entertain them, just like griefers we love to be entertained.

Office 2010 Install stops with no error
I am trying to install Office 2010 on my Dell XPS 710 running Windows 7 Ultimate (x86). Howere clicking on the file I downloaded from MSDN, I get a message saying it is extracting files and once the progress bar has gone across the program stops with no message or error. I have tried running this program in Administrator Mode but get the same result. I currently have Office 2007 Professional running on this PC. Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thanks Mateen

While the installer is extracting, it extracts to your temp folder. I believe, there should be a log file too attached with it.

User talk:Sapphire/Archive 2005
Hello Sapphire!
Welcome to Wikitravel. Please take a sec to look at our copyleft and policies and guidelines, but feel free to plunge forward and edit some pages. Scanning the Manual of style, especially the article templates, can give you a good idea of how we like articles formatted. If you need help, check out Wikitravel:Help, and if you need some info not on there, post a message in the travellers' pub.
Thank you for contributing to Cincinnati and Munich.
However, I have to ask the question: Is the Cincinnati article better after you edited it than before? I notice you have done a major rewrite of the article but, to me, it seems the poorer for it. Please read our policies, guidelines and templates and the rest of the manual of style before you change too much more; otherwise you might find all your hard work being undone by some (other) merciless editor who follows the guidelines too rigidly. I do like the google local map thingy though - interesting. -- Huttite 21:53, 19 Mar 2005 (EST)
Thanks for all the effort you are putting into Cincinnati. I notice you removed the {{stub}} message. Unfortunately the Cope and Get out sections do not have any content yet, so, technically, the article is still a stub article. As you seem to know a lot about the city, if you can put something into the Cope and Get out sections then that would polish the article off nicely - at least as a small city.
The Cope section is for tips for surviving in town, like the public laundry, hairdressers, and all those myriad of services one cannot do without.
The Get out section is for ideas for travelling on, such as the next destinations in a roadtrip or daytrips, etc.
There are also some other missing template sections, like Buy, Learn and Work, so there is plenty more that it is possible to contribute. -- Huttite 19:44, 25 Mar 2005 (EST)
Good work[edit]
Cincinnati's looking really good now! Welldone ^_^ -- Lionfish 23:25, 05 Mar 2005 (BST)
Who needs qualifications?[edit]
I disagree with the claim on your user page that you feel you must be about the only person without a degree or professional qualification to edit articles on Wikitravel. What good is a qualification here anyway? They do not give courses in writing for Wikitravel as far as I know. And, as one professor warned me, a qualification only proves you can pass exams and might also show you can think! You do not need a qualification to edit Wikitravel, just an Internet connection that allows you access to edit. I see many contributions to Wikitravel and some make me wonder if the contributor even had a proper education, let alone a degree. Unfortunately, most of those contributors are anonymous and I never know their names or educational background. However, their raw gems of contributions are lovingly polished (or beaten) into shape by other contributors. What you finally see is the collective work of many people. A few of us are even brave enough to identify ourselves by having a user page. Perhaps having a qualification also gives some people the courage to start a user page. While it appears a lot of people here have a degree or qualification, that fact does not mean you need one to contribute here. You may know things that nobody else thinks important (because it would be here otherwise). Keep up the good work because making good contributions is all you need to contribute successfully to Wikitravel. -- Huttite 05:35, 16 Apr 2005 (EDT)
Persuading your computer to do the things you want it to do[edit]
Hi Sapphire, just so you know there is a way to get your computer to do what you want it to do. Just download a Knoppix CD image and make a CD. Then put it in your computer and reboot, et voila: the computer will work better than ever before. The CD doesn't install anything, so when you take the CD back out the computer will be just the way your other family members are used to. -- Mark 01:06, 17 Apr 2005 (EDT)
On my Talk page, you asked ... is there an appropriate place in the guide to suggest books pertaining to a destination. Maybe a "Read" section? Thanks. Sapphire 00:37, 19 May 2005 (EDT)
How to link from one section to another[edit]
You asked: Huttite,
Can you tell me how to make a link that takes a reader to a different part of the same article?
Thanks. Sapphire 22:15, 9 Dec 2005 (EST)

Interesting opinion.8 things the U.S. election system could learn from Mexico's
Editor's note: Robert A. Pastor is professor and co-director of the Center for Democracy and Election Management at American University and author of "The North American Idea: A Vision of a Continental Future." The views expressed in this article are solely those of Robert A. Pastor.
By Robert A. Pastor, Special to CNN
The main question asked about the Mexican presidential elections on July 1 is whether victory by the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) means that Mexico will return to its authoritarian past.
The answer is simple: The PRI has changed because Mexico has changed. For more than six decades, the PRI manipulated elections and ruled Mexico in a quasi-authoritarian system. However, between 1988 until 2000, two Mexican presidents Carlos Salinas de Gortari and Ernesto Zedillo gradually responded to internal and external pressures and opened the economy and the political system.
I have observed elections in Mexico since 1986 and witnessed the transformation of the election system from the worst to the best in the Americas. The projected victory by PRI candidate Enrique Peña Nieto will not turn Mexico backwards. Mexicans have chosen democracy, and after two terms under PAN presidents, they are voting for change.
Indeed, in this year when the United States is engaged in a ferocious campaign for the presidency, the question that ought to be asked is: How does the U.S. electoral system compare to Mexico's? I undertook a comprehensive study of the electoral systems in North America, and the good news is that the United States came in third. The bad news is that there are only three countries in North America.
In fact, the Mexican electoral system is much fairer, professional, independent and non-partisan than the U.S. system on all eight criteria for assessing election administration:
1. Nonpartisan election administration. Mexico's Federal Electoral Institute (IFE) is a nonpartisan, professional institution in which political party representatives have access but no control. IFE manages a nation-wide system with uniform rules. In contrast, the United States has 13,000 counties and municipalities that manage our national elections with different rules and less capacity. Partisan officials generally control the process, and in a close election, the opposition is often suspicious of the result.
Follow the Mexican election coverage in Spanish at CNNMéxico.com
2. Registration and identification of voters. IFE actively registers about 95% of 77 million eligible voters and gives each a biometric, photo ID card, which Mexicans use as a primary identification. The registration list is audited regularly, and the photos of the voters are on the list in each polling site.
In contrast, U.S. states and communities passively register about 55% of eligible voters, and the lists are flawed with many duplicates and errors, especially between states and counties. Each state has different rules, and in states where Republicans have a majority, their focus on preventing electoral fraud has led them to restrict registration and require IDs, while Democrats are more concerned about voters' access and believe the Republican ID laws are aimed to suppress voter turnout from poor people or minorities. The truth is that we ought to adopt Mexico's national, biometric ID system. That would eliminate duplicates and simplify the registration and voting process.
Related: Voter ID laws: Discrimination or 'no big deal'?
3. Poll workers. Mexico views the conduct of elections like Americans view jury duty a civic obligation and they recruit on a random basis a large number of people from each district. They are well-trained in every stage of the electoral process. When I asked a U.S. election official about the criteria for choosing poll workers, he said: "I'll take anyone with a pulse." Most poll workers are very senior citizens without the kind of stamina necessary to manage a polling station for 12 hours, and in most cases, they are poorly trained as compared to their Mexican counterparts.
4. Campaign finance/corruption. Each of Mexico's main political parties receive approximately $24 million of public financing for a three-month campaign. They can also receive 10% of their funds from supporters, but no one can give more than $71,000. In contrast, in the United States, there will be an estimated $6 billion raised privately, and with the Citizens United Supreme Court decision, corporations can spend unlimited amounts of money. Major contributors could have extraordinary access and substantial influence over public policy. Some would define that as corruption on a scale that even the drug cartels couldn't compete.
5. Equitable access to the media/negative advertising. IFE pays for media advertising, and ensures that the candidates have equal access. IFE also tries to discourage any negative advertising. A substantial amount of the $6 billion raised by the candidates in the United States goes for media advertising, and a recent study showed that 70 percent of ads in this years presidential contest has been negative. Just think what $6 billion could do as an endowment to a university; it would have lasting positive effects. Who believes that negative advertising can have a lasting positive effect?
6. Neutralizing incumbency. Since its revolution, Mexico's constitution prohibits re-election in order to prevent incumbents from using government to manipulate the electoral process. IFE goes even further by trying to prevent the president from even campaigning in the most indirect way for his party's candidates. In the United States, incumbents have a huge advantage in fund-raising because special interests can contribute to members of Congress while they are writing laws.
7. Judging disputes. Mexico has minutely-detailed election laws, and a professional and independent Electoral Tribunal to judge election disputes. The United States has few laws and no court with the expertise to settle such disputes.
8. Observers. Mexico invites international polling observers while the U.S. government does not welcome any international observers, and only two states allow them.
It was partly because of decades of electoral fraud that the Mexican people decided to construct a completely professional, independent and nonpartisan election organization. This has not eliminated all problems, but as compared to the thousands of complaints received by U.S. election authorities, the concerns from Mexico are minor.
A measure of commitment is that Mexico's IFE spends roughly 10 times more per capita than the United States to manage a state-of-the-art electoral process. The U.S. system is so antiquated, decentralized, dysfunctional, under-funded with public resources, and over-funded with private interest money that it behooves us Americans to stop asking whether the PRI is a return to the past in Mexico and to start asking why can't our electoral system be as good as Mexico's.
The U.S. could and the U.S. should establish an independent national nonpartisan election administration with a national biometric ID, a single national (or inter-operable) registration list, restrictions on private funding, public financing for short campaigns, poll workers that are recruited by lot and well-trained, disincentives for negative advertising, independent electoral courts, and international and domestic observers. There is much work for us to do before we can catch up to Mexico.

#2 is chock full of lolz...
I've said much of this numerous times on this site, as I've seen it all up close and personal working at the polls with BOE officials for years.
It is an absolute embarrassment the way we function in elections. The lack of consistency, technology, organization makes us look as if we live in the Stone Age.
A complete and utter disgrace.
Minimal cost that could come out of the national sales tax I would enact right after I repealed corporate and income taxes. But that's another story.
but that would just be mean.
But then again...most political "ideas" are just more layers of bureaucracy and more paperwork. LOLZ!!
And f*ck "states rights". So tired of hearing that. It's not 1886. it's 2012.
We aren't driving wagons across the frontier.
The world is small.
The last time we had a "contested" election wasn't because of people voting as Donald Duck. It was because some backward a** state decided to use punch cards in lieu of modern technology.

what a long composition i've ever read .great . i agree.
States designate the president and members of the House and Senate. It is a state repsonsibility. Some states are trying to estblish voter ID.
This administration i against it because most of the voter fraud is from minorities and soon to be illegals.
Documented: one county (Democratic) in SC here had more votes than registered voters. HMMM. People were being transported to the polls by their (dare I say it) black ministers.

SPARTANBURG, S.C.-Bennettsville (S.C.) Marlboro County defensive end Jayson Ayers is hoping a great week of practice at the 69th Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas clears up the recruiting picture for him a bit.
Tennessee, Virginia Tech and North Carolina State all have been recruiting the 6-foot-4, 235-pounder while Division I-AA schools Coastal Carolina, Savannah State and South Carolina State.
"I just want to come down here and do a good job and try and impress come coaches that may not be looking at me," Ayers said. "I just want to have fun really."
Article Continues Below
Ayers, the brother of Tennessee defensive end Robert Ayers, finished his senior season with 124 tackles and seven sacks. An experienced prospect, Ayers believes that is his best attribute on the field.
"It's probably that I know the game real good and I know where to be at," Ayers said. "And then I always have my strength."
He will get a chance to show off his strength this week as he works against several talented players along the South Carolina offensive line and then on Saturday when he squares off against the talented North Carolina offensive line, which includes top-flight prospects Carl Johnson and Hutch Eckerson.
Ayers, a two-star rated prospect, was ranked as the No. 27 overall prospect in the state of South Carolina in the Rivals.com preseason South Carolina top 40.

On Marijuana Prohibition and Protecting Young People
Yesterday, the Washington Post ran a story on the emerging support for marijuana law reform, including a recent Gallup poll that found 44% of Americans support taxing and regulating the substance like alcohol. The article is a very good one overall and worth a read for anyone who is interested in an overview of the changing politics of this issue.
There is one point in the article, however, that exemplifies a primary stumbling block to reform on this issuebut that I believe is premised on a flaw in reasoning. After summarizing the trend toward reform, the WashPo piece explains that:
Anti-drug advocates counter with surveys showing high school students nationwide already are more likely to smoke marijuana than tobacco — and that the five states with the highest rate of adolescent pot use permit medical marijuana.
(As an initial matter, while adolescent marijuana use may be high in some states with medical marijuana laws, teen use rates have always been high in those states. In other words, there is nothing to indicate that the medical marijuana laws have led to higher use rates and, in fact, studies that have looked at the issue have found that medical marijuana laws have not led to increases in teen use.)
The claim that marijuana prohibition is the best way to protect teens from accessing the substance is, of course, not a new one. And, for what it's worth, I readily agree that preventing teens from having access to drugs and falling victim to drug abuse is of paramount importance is designing any drug policy (including alcohol and tobacco policy.) The problem is that there is absolutely no evidence that, at least for a widely available substance like marijuana, prohibition does anything to achieve this goal. Indeed, a close read of the above quoted paragraph should give anyone who thinks marijuana prohibition is necessary to protect kids some reason for pause. The Washington Post tells us that surveys show[] high school students nationwide already are more likely to smoke marijuana than tobacco. Wait a minute. The last time I checked, tobacco is perfectly legal. And yet, we've seen dramatic decreases in both teen and adult use of the substance over the past years (with teen use of tobacco now at or near record lows [warning, .PDF].) Meanwhile, year after year, more teens say it's easier for them to buy marijuana than beer (which, last I checked, is also legal).
To many, the idea that taxing and regulating marijuana may actually be more effective at reducing teen use and access than prohibition may seem counterintuitive. But, I think this is only so if one takes the view that prohibition is the ultimate in control. If one begins from that premise, then legalization is the abdication of control and will surely lead to wild increases in use. In reality, at least for a widely available and relatively easy to manufacture substance like marijuana, regulation can give society much greater control than prohibition. In our current prohibition regime, the market for marijuana goes completely unregulated. It is just as easy (if not easier) for a 15 year old to buy marijuana as it is for an adult. Indeed, it is just as easy for a 15 year old as it is for an adult to sell marijuana. In short: drug cartels don't ask for ID but well regulated businesses do.
Of course, the trade-off to abandoning prohibition is that regulation would almost surely increase adult access to marijuana. There is also a danger that, if advertising were not well regulated, advertising campaigns targeted at teens could lead to an increase in teen demand and counteract the benefits we might gain from being able to regulate sales through age limits and the like. (Think back, for example, to tobacco advertising that targeted young people.) In other words, the devil is in the details. One thing that I think is clear, however, is that prohibition has not been effective at keeping marijuana out of the hands of young people and that there is certainly no reason to think it would be more effective than a well designed tax-and-regulate system.

OTTAWA – Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird will be going in for the hard sell on the Keystone XL pipeline when he sits down with his new U.S. counterpart in the coming weeks.
Baird said Monday he takes "nothing for granted" when it comes to getting the green light from the White House for TransCanada's $7-billion pipeline project that would carry Alberta crude to Texas - the final hurdle for the controversial project.
Following his 15-minute weekend phone conversation with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry – who was sworn-in Friday – the minister said he didn't yet have a sense which way the decision may go.

As above, thinking bout having my next frame powdercoated it will be a full Susser by the way
Bike Forum
Anyone had a frame powdercoated
I got one done by Hendersons in Edinburgh, sadly they did a shit job of it- they're not incompetent, they just couldn't be bothered doing it right so masked it badly and got blasting media into the finish. It looked good from a distance though
It was all yellow by Northwindlowlander, on Flickr
Just got a frame anodised by Steve the Anodiser, that's a very different finish so not for everyone but I love it- and cheaper than you might think. There's a risk that the original metal is ugly in some way and won't take teh colour, though- mine has a wee defect in it which luckily I could sticker over but it wasn't pretty. Anodising has no "coverage" like paint or powder.
Any pics Northwind? Not looking to do it but sounds interesting
Not the best backdrop ever But it catches the look of the finish pretty well
IMG_2737 by Northwindlowlander, on Flickr
Need to clear up the rubbish from your back garden and kick the banana habit
I am currently riding a second hand Nomad thats been powdercoated, so far, so good. I have mates that swear by it for providing a tough finish.
We have had a few done. All been first class jobs from start to finish. All done at LSN Coatings in Castleford
When I had mine done,I've found it brittle, don't know if it just wasn't done very well or if they are all like that. Its got quite a few chips in it now. That said, it was cheap and I'm still happy with it.
I got a 456 blasted and powder coated in olde English white (can't remember the RAL ref) then a sort of shimmer lacquer over the top. It was rock hard and a really nice finish. Got it done by a place on the outskirts of Crewe who prepped it nicely - we protected the threads with an old BB and some sacrificial bolts. Probably not to everyone's taste but it worked quite well... The actual look of it was somewhere between the two pics, but as you'd imagine, the light changed the look of it all the while.
Argos racing cycles in Bristol are good.
Although I found the finish easily chipped.
Pentland Powdercoatings in Edinburgh did mine (by IKEA). Brilliant job and only cost something stupid like £40 for frame and fork.
My powdered mega...
I do lots with ESP in Glasgow - the trick is to find a powdercoaters who knows what they're doing with bikes, knows what to mask and doesn't slap it on an inch thick.
I get all my powder coating and frame repairs done at a place called GripSport here in Melbourne Oz. They only do bikes, so when i got my latest build PC'ed it was a no brainer. They face all bearing surfaces and do a proper tank strip and media blast before it goes to the coaters. I assume Argos in the UK (not the Laminated book of Dreams merchants) are their equivalent.
Got my battered old Cotic Powdercoated at armourtech in Hackney. Great job,
And after
Just had an On One done in India Red, by CWS in Devon, cheap (45 for frame and forks) looks fantastic, lovely glossy deep dark red, but this one is brittle with a couple of chips by the end of the build. They masked the BB and head tube but they both needed 30 mins of cleaning up before re-building.
Had a respray (inc re-doing decals) done by Argos ten plus years ago, expensive but better than original.
Got my BFe done locally by Edmo in Ross on Wye. £25 for an acid dip and then £25 for the powder coat. They did a nice job.
Aye, from this:
to this:
After 6 years it's looking a little tired, looking to get it re-done after xmas or so.
As ben says above, he repaired my soulcraft and sent it to ESP for powder coating and it's a very good finish, no blemishes or marks at all.
Why does nice filet brazing like that still make me feel come over a bit funny after all these years?
i've had an Orange Patriot powdercoated by RnR powdercoating in Ripon, N/Yorks.
had to strip it right down to the front triangle and the swingarm. It came to just under £50, and they stripped it masked it off beforehand.
patriot after by keefmac, on Flickr
patriot after headbadge by keefmac, on Flickr
getting the headset cups reseated did cause the coating at the top of the headtube to chip a little, barely noticeable though. coated quite thickly so should last for ages. colour is ral6013
ESP are good 'uns. I suppose you have to be when you've got the blue angels as repeat customers
I had my Sunday done by Stella Blast, finish just looked decent but it was incredibly tough! I crashed that bikes brains out and it never once chipped or scratched through to the metal.
A mate recently had his road bike done by a place in Carlisle, colour ain't my cup of tea but the finish is absolutely flawless, it's beautiful.

6 Young Pittsburgh Steelers Who Could be Affected by the 2013 NFL Draft
The Pittsburgh Steelers have multiple needs they will look to fill during the 2013 NFL Draft. However, even as they try to fill those holes there are players currently on the roster who believe they are worthy of a chance to do just that. One of the Steelers biggest issues in recent years has been their development and preparation of young players …

The Steelers are being affected by injuries, but not as much as age. Where can they go this season? A look at their remaining schedule and the AFC North.
The Steelers are old and slow. That's what people are saying, is that true? The Steelers are being impacted with injuries on both sides of the ball. Big Ben can do a lot but he can't carry everything on his own.
Here's a look at their remaining schedule, predictions and a look at their division.

2012 salary cap to be released on March 12th; Steelers key RFA futures will be affected.
Monday is the next important date up on the calendar for the Steelers and all NFL teams. The NFL will release the final 2012 salary cap amount on March 12th, giving teams the remainder of the weekend to make sure everything is in order so they aren't over the limit. The future of key restricted free agents for the Steelers will be affected one way or the other. As an FYI, if any team were to ever be over the cap by the due date, even by one dollar or one million, the league would have the right to take the teams books and start cutting players at random to get them cap compliant. The Steelers would never allow that to happen fortunately but still, just imagine how bad it could be for a team if it ever came to that. Just something to think about…
Kevin Colbert and the Steelers front office have been operating under the mindset that it will be around the projected $ 120 million, and assuming that is the case they would currently sit at around $ 10-$ 11 million under. This is…

A survey of expats in Australia reports a "high level of satisfaction," but warns that a "relatively high" number of new arrivals face discrimination based on their ethnicity or religious beliefs.
The findings have been published in Mapping Social Cohesion: Recent Arrivals Report, a new study from Australia's Scanlon Foundation authored by Andrew Markus of Monash University. The survey included feedback on the experience of 2,324 persons who relocated to Australia. Two thirds arrived between 2000 and 2010, and many relocated on the basis of their skills or education.
54 percent said that they are "very happy" or "happy" with life in Australia, with a further 24 percent saying they are "neither happy nor unhappy." As regards financial circumstances, 43 percent said they were satisfied, and a further 25 percent "neither satisfied nor dissatisfied." 70 percent agreed with the proposition that working hard in Australia brings an improved quality of living, and a further 17 percent said they "neither agree nor disagree" with the statement.
However, 36 percent of immigrants on average reported experiencing discrimination, rising to 44 percent for immigrants from China and Hong Kong, and to 46 percent from India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and Malaysia. In total, 41 percent of recent arrivals with a non-English speaking background complained of discrimination, against a national average of 16 percent.
The survey also found high levels of continued contact with new arrivals' home countries, with 69 percent of those who arrived in 2000-2010 maintaining contact with friends and relatives several times a week or every day, and 45 percent of Asian immigrants who arrived during this period making yearly visits home. More than half continue to access news media from their home country online, while 32 percent regularly watch media from their home country via cable or satellite.
On citizenship and identity, 92 percent of respondents from China or Hong had become citizens, 89 percent of those from India or Sri Lanka, 88 percent from South Africa or Zimbabwe, 76 percent from the United Kingdom and Ireland, and 66 percent from the USA or Canada. 52 percent of those persons that arrived during 2000 and 2010 identified as an Australian, compared with 74 percent of those surveyed that arrived between 1990-2000. Those born in India or Sri Lanka were most likely to identify with Australia, with 75 percent agreeing. Persons from New Zealand were the least likely to do so. The study points out that settlers from New Zealand have an "easy path" to permanent residence, but not to citizenship.

wikiHow to Create a Home Page
A well-designed home page can be the cornerstone of a successful website. If your home page is difficult to navigate, your visitors may not expend the energy to continue navigating through your website. Put your best Online foot forward by following some common steps when you create a home page.
1Decide on the colors and style. For continuity, these should be close, if not identical, to other pages on the website. If your home page is a stand alone page (not linked to a website), consider using company colors or colors that coordinate well with the images that you will utilize.
2Place your company logo and mission statement in a dominant position. Usually this is placed in the upper half of the page as a headline but it could also be placed in the center and have content placed orbiting it. If you are creating a personal home page and don't have a logo or mission statement, consider using a favorite quote in its place.
3Insert a navigation list; this is the list of other pages on your website. Each title should be a link to that page so when visitors click their mouse on the title, it opens the corresponding page. Ideally these links should open in a new window so your visitors can visit different pages on your website without closing the entire site if they close a page.
4Ensure that all images fit well in the flow of the page. They should be correctly sized for the page dimensions and the colors/styles shouldn't clash. For example, an image of farm equipment would interrupt the flow of a home page with an industrial theme even if the colors coordinated well.
5Place the log in link in an easy to find location if your site requires users to log in. Members and clients should be able to access your site without having to search for the place to enter their user id and password.
6Insert a website search tool. This makes your home page more user friendly by allowing your visitors to search for specific products or content without having to navigate through every page.
7Add a footer at the bottom of the page. This should include privacy and copyright information, general contact information and an email address to notify the webmaster of any problems with the page.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Assistance League of Las Vegas Sanford & Co, Las Vegas, NV, USA
I am proud to be on the Board of the Assistance League Las Vegas. Following is a synopsis of the outreach programs we provide to the children of Clark County Nevada:
• The Assistance League Las Vegas' mission is to implement programs and services that enrich the lives of children in need.
• Assistance League® Las Vegas, a 501(c)(3) philanthropic organization, was organized in 1976 as a chapter of National Assistance League®. We do not receive any funding from our national organization. We do not receive government or United Way funding. We rely primarily on corporate and foundation support.
• Assistance League of Las Vegas is composed ENTIRELY of volunteers.
• Last year, 480 members volunteered over 37,000 hours to help children in need in the Las Vegas community.
• We have several programs addressing the needs of children in our community.
• Operation School Bell® provided new school clothing and other necessities to over 8,100 homeless and economically disadvantaged school children this past year. Without this program, these children may not have had adequate clothing to attend school.
• Assistance League's Closet, our newest program, is an on-site clothing closet, established in at-risk, low income schools, confidentially providing new clothing, underwear, socks, shoes and toiletries to children with immediate needs. We have closets in 37 at-risk schools.
• Our Bear Program provides teddy bears to firemen, police and other first responders to children in crisis. We delivered 3,600 bears to these agencies this past year.
• The Kids on the Block Puppets provide skits on issues of physical, emotional and cultural differences to third graders. Issues like divorce, bullying and ADHD are addressed in these skits. Puppeteers performed skits to 6,500 third graders. In summary, I feel that we are very much deserving of being named one of the top nonprofits for 2012.

2Blue Shares His Valentine's Day Playlist
Whatever your relationship status is, here are 5 songs from our very own domestic soil and 5 from across international waters that you will enjoy no matter how many times you have listened to them before. These 10 songs will help you celebrate love. No man is an island. Love and friendship are at the very core of happiness. So sit back, and get consumed by the sweetness of the emotion.
1.Gary Lawyer – Nights On Fire
If you are a fan of early MTV, you will remember this as the most played song off of Gary Lawyer's debut album, "The Other Side of Dawn". "Nights on Fire" was so popular at one point that, according to Gary, "You could set your clock and every two hours it would be on TV." If you've ever really loved somebody, those words and that voice will speak to your soul. And at the end of the first listen, you are not likely to resist the urge to push the play button again.
2.Chandresh Kudwa – Princess
If you are a guitar enthusiast, Chandresh Kudwa will need no introduction. "Princess" is a song he wrote for his wife. From his 'Axe-tortion' series of live performances, you are likely to remember how fondly he speaks of her while introducing the song. Here, he plays it before a hand-held camera at home. One take. No edits. Pure love.
3.Indus Creed – Can't Wait Anymore
"Can't Wait Anymore" is a ballad by Indus Creed from the time they used to go by the name of Rock Machine. It featured in their 1988 debut album "Rock n'Roll Renegade". There's no video for the song. So allow the melody to conjure up bittersweet visuals of your own love story inside your head.
4.AR Rahman – O Humdum Soniyo Re
It's not always that you stumble upon a Bollywood love song that boasts a funky bass line, some teeth-breaking rap, a raspy rock singing voice, and an inexplicably beautiful melody. Kunal Ganjawala's voice and AR Rahman's musicianship will command every bit of your respect, if they haven't already. If you like it enough, do share the link with your friends abroad so that they know that Bollywood has come of age. Tell them the industry is no longer about Jitendra and Sridevi dancing around trees lip-syncing to 'Ting Ting Ghanti Baje'.
5. Sanjeev Thomas (featuring Ujjayinee Roy) – Tanha
I discovered this song only accidentally while making this playlist, and I'm so very glad I did. Not only does it feature Sanjeev Thomas, whose music I've been a fan of, it also features my childhood friend Ujjayinee Roy. Ujjayinee's voice could move mountains… make the clouds break loose… and melt the hardest of hearts. Listen… fall in love.
6.Van Halen – Can't Stop Loving You
Watch couples of every age, size, shape, and orientation celebrate togetherness as Sammy Hagar sings with his heart on the sleeve and Eddie Van Halen pushes the limits of his guitar. At the end of the video, a smile is guaranteed… as is a phone call to that special someone who you miss the most.
7. Europe – New Love In Town
This song features in this playlist because of its bridge. It goes "And everyone I met has made me what I am today. And every choice I made has led me here today. And every time I see your face I find my way." The very classy video is an added bonus.
8. Bon Jovi – Thank You For Loving Me
If you want something from deep within your heart, the universe is believed to rearrange itself to make your wish come true. All that it seeks in return is gratitude. If you have love in your life, be grateful… for it is a luxury that many crave for. Thank your special one for the gift. Draw inspiration from this song, should you feel the need.
9. Joe Satriani – Always With You Always With Me
Not every musician can weave a meaningful story out of thin air. Not every musician can communicate without the use of words. Not every musician is a soul-whisperer. Then again, not every musician is Joe Satriani. Let the sound of his guitar heal your wounds. Dim the light, and allow your lips to curl into a smile.
10. Guns N' Roses – This I love
In 'This I Love', Axl Rose bears testimony to the fact that the body of a hard rock singer may age, but if he stays committed to his life's purpose, his voice never will. It's the beautiful coming together of passion, skill, and genius. Feel the horses running through your veins as the video plays on. Quite a video too.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15 (UPI) -- Analysis from the U.S. Energy Department could resume quickly if the government shutdown ends but long-term reporting is in jeopardy, a former officer said.
International economists have expressed concern about the effects of a U.S. federal government shutdown, which entered its third week Tuesday.
The Energy Information Administration, the Energy Department's statistical division, closed its doors Friday because of the shutdown. Former EIA Administrator Guy Caruso said monthly reporting could resume quickly if the shutdown ends, the Platts news service reported Monday
The EIA publishes weekly price data on West Texas Intermediate crude oil, natural gas and other commodities. Caruso, who served from 2002-08, said missing a week of data could cause problems with fuel contracts pegged to EIA data and impact long-term models based on weekly EIA statistics.
An annual market report from the EIA, due in early December, may be delayed at least a week because of the shutdown, Platts reported.
Capitol Hill publication The Hill reported there may be signs of hope with a deal that emerged late Monday that could reopen the federal government and temporarily raise the borrowing limit.

Johannesburg - A 25-year-old man accused of raping two students at the University of Limpopo appeared in the Mankweng Magistrate's Court on Wednesday, police said.
The matter was postponed to March 5 for further investigation and a bail application, Constable Moses Molepo said in a statement.
He faces two counts of rape and a charge of possessing an unlicensed firearm. He allegedly forced his way into the women's rooms, raped them, and stole their belongings.
The man was arrested on December 21 2010, after DNA testing linked him to the two crimes.
He was also identified by the women at the time. He failed to appear in court and a warrant of arrest was issued. He was arrested on Tuesday.

Seems kind of strange to be publishing a playlist review of the top singles and albums of the second half of October releases now. That's completely understandable, but we've been so busy with preparing the Best of 2013 coverage (to be published throughout the month of January) as well as sifting through hundreds of DIY submissions, listening to many hundreds of singles and albums, and selecting the most talented and promising artists and bands to profile, many of who break-through partly, and sometimes mainly, due to their exposure on IRC.
The first two weeks of October offered a selection of new and impressive singles and albums from Yuck, Teen Daze, Polvo, Fuzz (with Ty Segall), Dr. Dog, DARKSIDE, The Fratellis and HAIM, among others. But the third week of October is one of the most significant, if not the most significant, week of the fall for new releases from a knock-out line-up of established, well-known artists and bands, as well as under-the-radar, new and buzzworthy signed (and a few unsigned) bands and artists.
The third week of October, covering October 15th to October 21st, was a blockbuster week for releases, featuring terrific albums, along with nearly two dozens singles from those releases, from The Avett Brothers, Crystal Antlers, Cults, The Dismemberment Plan, Cave, The Chills, D33J, Heavenly Beat, Luke Temple, Cass McCombs, School of Night, Jonathan Wilson, Dean Wareham, Lucius, Gary Numan, and Pearl Jam.
As is evident by the playlist below, the sheer quantity and quality of the singles from new albums by well-known and accomplished artists and bands, as well from talented, under-the-radar bands, including newly emerging talented artists, is mind-blowing for just one week's (Oct. 15th to 21st) drop. And that's not even counting the fourth week of October releases.
Note: Because a new week of album releases starts on Oct. 29th (including releases from Arcade Fire), and runs through November 3rd, we are including that week's releases in the November coverage.
Top New Singles from Albums by The Avett Brothers and Cults
Firstly, The Avett Brothers don't seem capable of disappointing fans as their new single ("Another Is Waiting"), and the album (Magpie and the Dandelion) which it's from, are simply amazing. Next, Cults returns with more of their splendid indie sounds from their sophomore album, Static.
"Another Is Waiting" – The Avett Brothers from Magpie and the Dandelion on American
View video for "Another Is Waiting"
"You Know What I Mean" – Cults from Static on Columbia Records
Watch video for "High Road"
Fusion Rock from CAVE, Plus Raw and Gritty from Crystal Antlers, The Chills and More
CAVE's new album, Threace, offers up the somewhat funky, somewhat fusion jazz, somewhat R&B, psychedelic jam rock instrumental, "Shikaakwa" accompanied by a music video that takes its cues from late 60s acid parties where abstract images, colors and effects were blended together and splashed on big screens, even walls, apparently to reflect, and enhance, the music and the overall social tripping experience. This technique was popularized in large part by Andy Warhol and the parties that he and his inner circle of bohemian/hippie/freak cohorts, and even celebrity guests, held regularly in Warhol's grand apartment in New York's Upper West Side from 1968 to 1972.
Another top single for the third week of October was "Rattlesnake," by Crystal Antlers. The track, as you'd expect from the title, is gritty, raw garage rock with blazing, fuzzy guitar licks and aggressive bass playing and drumming. Rock is just so good when it's allowed to be free, gut-level and not all dressed up and tweaked by engineers until it ends up not sounding like rock and roll, but overly polished crap-o-la.
"Shikaakwa" – CAVE from Threace on Drag City
Official video of "Shikaakwa"
"Rattlesnake" – Crystal Antlers from Nothing Is Real on Innovative Leisure
"Night Of Chill Blue" – The Chills from Somewhere Beautiful on Fire Records
E3 Releases: New Electro, Experimental and Eclectic Spins from D33J, Kwes, and Heavenly Beats
If you're a fan of the Big E3 – electro, experimental and eclectic sounds – this section is for you. Considering the large number of releases during the third week of October, it was important to compartmentalize the top picks to formulate order out of what would otherwise be chaos. Tracks include those from D33J and kwes. Also, while we have heard of Heavenly Beat before, the band's new album really caught our attention, and the single from it, "Complete," is an grooving, blissful electro-pop dance gem, with shimmering, wavy synths, faded, dreamy vocals, and funky bass lines.
"Slow" – D33J featuring Kreyola from Gravel EP on Anticon
"36" – kwes from ilp on Warp Records
"Complete" – Heavenly Beat from Prominence on Captured Tracks
Singles from Luke Temple and the State of Music Playlists
Slick melodies, terrific beats and sweet harmonies, together with excellent bass, guitar and lead vocals, make up the new track, "Florida," from the band Luke Temple. The track is one of the geographically-focused songs that we've added to our State of Music in-house master playlists, which we plan to publish more posts from in 2014. The purpose of the series is to put together playlists of great songs that just so happen to be about a place, city or a state, and a relevant matching song title to go with it, from a wide range of artists, bands, genres and time periods – meaning it is not restricted to new music or necessarily to indie rock.
If you're interested, you'll definitely want to check out previous installments of State of Music series and which most, if not all, of the songs are still accessible to stream and download. The whole idea kind of is related to Sufjan Stevens' abandoned "states project." Now we can add Luke Temple's "Florida" to the mix.
"Florida" – Luke Temple from Good Mood Fool on Secretly Canadian
Fine Mellow Tracks from Cass McCombs, School of Night, Dean Wareham, and Jonathan Wilson
Cass McCombs has put out consistently good albums for years, and his latest LP, Big Wheel And Others, is another success and fine example for a talented songwriter, vocalist and musician, as the cool, mellow single, "There Can Be Only One," with its sweet melodic bass line and gentle hand drums in the forefront. McCombs vocals are superb and the subtle electric guitar riffs add yet another dimension to a fantastic song, of the best of the week, and that's saying a great deal, all things considered. See what others think in the comments section on SoundCloud.
In keeping with the mellow theme for a minute, the band School of Night deliver the synth-heavy, semi-crooning single, "Lying," that has a bit of an 80s mash of new wave and pop to it. The next mellow single, "Love Is Colder Than Death" is a slow, brooding, and slightly twisted love song, with beautiful and wonderfully melodic, even melancholic, instrumentation and vocals from the new-to-us artist Dean Wareham. It's ironic, considering the subject matter, that the song has a warm, cozy feel from the first note to the closing verse. And closing out the "mellow" set of new singles for the third week is the sweet song, "Dear Friend" by Jonathan Wilson, and his band, and the accompanying music video that has received over 35,000 views on YouTube alone.
"There Can Be Only One" – Cass McCombs from Big Wheel And Others on Domino Record Co.
"Lying" – School of Night from School of Night EP on Minus Green Records
"Love Is Colder Than Death" – Dean Wareham from Emancipated Hearts on Double Feature
"Dear Friend" – Jonathan Wilson from Fanfare on Downtown Records
"Dear Friend" YouTube video
The Sounds of Tim Hecker and Lucius
If you're a fan of experimental ambient sounds, chances are you might enjoy listening to Tom Hecker's Virgins. The composition moves through a myriad of phases with minimalistic and repetitious aspects of what sounds like dulcimers, and dreamy, drifting synth notes that pick up in tempo and number of keys as the composition progresses.
The new song from Lucius, "Turn It Around," is an upbeat pop track with a finely produced groove and excellent female vocalists, leaning more towards a commercial song in sound, but we can see how some people might dig it a lot, and be curious to check out the album, Wildewoman.
"Virginal ll" – Tim Hecker from Virgins on Kranky
"Turn It Around" – Lucius from Wildewoman on Mom + Pop
Paul McCartney's New Track, "Queenie," Plus Gary Numan
Probably all the great and wonderful things there are to say about an artist have been used up in describing Paul McCartney over the past half of a century. And yet, now in his 70's, McCartney is still writing and recording some fine music as his latest album, New, shows. It's probably about the 40th album or so that he's released in his long career from The Beatles, to his solo work, to The Wings, and back to his solo work and various monikers in recent years. A rock and roll icon for at least 35 years, Gary Numan returns with a new album, featuring the dark, semi-goth/new wave style single, "I Am Dust."

Has Pearl Jam Sold Out or Simply Embraced Capitalism?
During the World Series, in which long-time Boston Red Sox fans, like ourselves got to see (in our, and many other genereations', lifetime), the team finally win a world championship at the sacred Fenway Park, Fox Sports was promoting the new Pearl Jam album in between breaks. That was a bummer to us – Eddie Vedder had really sold out, which does dent the band's grunge/atlernative rock legitimacy, but especially since Vedder, who seemed over the years to be a guy opposed to "the machine," actually become part of it. Eventually, young, idealistic passionate artists, not all, but many, when presented the opportunity, become older guys who feel otherwise entitled to cash in as big as they can.
That said, their new single, "Mind Your Manners," is good stuff, but it does not have the same feel to it that the early Pearl Jam work had – in the years before they went head first into the commercial, big-time money. Hey, it's America. Yeah fine, but as a "rock icon," you still lose credibility every time you cash in, and especially team up with Fox Sports, which if we recall, Vedder criticized during the 2000's as a propaganda machine for the Bush administration's greatest evils.
So, Sr. Vedder, just sing, because you can't preach (and cash in) anymore with any credibility about how you're some salt of the earth guy railing against the machine, because you're not that guy (and Pearl Jam is not that band); teaming up with the Fox Network after rightfully criticizing them for years is simply the height of hypocrisy, and a slap in the face to your most loyal fans.
Aside from that obvious, and distasteful, fact, we'll still listen to, and feature (if the music stands up), Pearl Jam, but there will always be this issue tarnishing our respect for Vedder and the band. We are careful not to accuse bands of 'selling out,' because they need to make a living, but in this case, Vedder, and the band (if they willing went along), really did sell out. Teaming up with the network they used to rail against is not needing to put the food on the table – it's simply the worst kind of hypocrisy and greed. We know people will strongly disagree with that viewpoint, but it's quite simply a fact.
"Mind Your Manners" – Pearl Jam from Lightning Bolt on Monkeywrench
Other singles from new albums worth noting include the shoe-gaze/psychedelic girl rock of Mirror Travel; the beats of pop mistress Morcheeba; the hard/metal rock of the band Red Fang; self released song from DIY band Breathe Owl Breathe that sounds like The National mixed with chilled out Lou Reed.
"I Want You To Know" – Mirror Travel from Mexico on Modern Outsider Records
"Gimme Your Love" – Morcheeba from Head Up High on [PIAS] America
"Blood Like Cream" – Red Fang from Whales and Leeches on Relapse Records
"Silent Movie Reel" – Breathe Owl Breathe from Passage of Pegasus (self-released)
Top Singles from New Albums by Best Coast, Active Child, Polica, Modern Kin, Gringo Star, Black Hearted Brother
In order to focus our energy on putting together profiles and songs of more talented, promising DIY artists and bands, we're not really going to write much about the last week of October's releases (Oct. 22nd to Oct. 28th). The final week of new releases for October was thin compared to the previous week (above), but there were still some major drops from artists like Best Coast, Active Child, Polica, Modern Kin, Gringo Star, Black Hearted Brother, Federico Aubele, Radical Face, and others.
For those of you who have asked, we're also catching up with the Top 10 Songs playlists for final months of 2013 as well. You could spend days streaming the Top 10 Songs playlists and discover the best indie and DIY music of 2013 on one page, with the October and November Top 10 Songs playlists coming up shortly.
As this post and playlist clearly demonstrates, there was an absolute flood of quality album releases in the second half of October that took a considerable amount of time to review, organize and write about. In fact, this post and playlist by itself includes just as much, or more, coverage of new releases than some other popular indie blogs publish during an entire month; those of you who browse indie and alternative rock music blogs regularly probably know exactly what we're referring to.
IRC is one of the few popular indie and alt rock websites and blogs that provides free MP3s that you can stream or download (and which we know leads to more support for the artists and bands) at any time, even months, sometimes years, after we publish a post with music in it. In order to do this, we have to support a huge server load and usage, but we are committed to chronologically documenting the best of both the popular and obscure indie music of the times, and providing a permanent record of over 10,000 songs available at anytime to anyone in the world. As far as we know, from our own research, there is no other indie music resource on the web today (that is not a file-sharing or torrent site) that offers as many active and free MP3 songs dating back to 2007 as IRC does.
"This Lonely Morning" – Best Coast from Fade Away EP on Jewel City
"Subtle" – Active Child featuring Mikky Ekko from Rapor EP on Vagrant Records
"Find a Love" – Gringo Star from Floating Out To Sea on My Anxious Mouth Inc.
Check out the cool video for "Find a Love"
"Abandon" – Modern Kin from Modern Kin on Amigo/Amiga Recordings
"(I Don't Mean To) Wonder" – Black Hearted Brother from Stars Are Our Home on Slumberland Records

"Holy Branches" – Radical Face from The Family Tree: The Branches on Nettwerk
"Stay, Don't Say" – Dead Gaze from Brain Holiday on FatCat / Palmist
"Chain My Name" – Poliça from Shulamith EP on Mom + Pop
"Laberinto del Ayer" – Federico Aubele from 5 on Records-Ingrooves/Fontana

Drop shipping makes it amazingly easy to get started selling online. You don't need to invest heavily in inventory, yet you can still offer thousands of items to your customers.
Successfully launching and growing an ecommerce business takes a lot of work, especially if you have limited resources. Not having to worry about fulfillment is incredibly convenient.
A drop shipping business can be run from just about anywhere with an internet connection. As long as you can communicate with suppliers and customers easily, you can run.
You might be thinking that this sounds like some sketchy, fly-by-night model – but it's not. Plenty of online stores, use drop shipping to offer a wider selection of products to their customers.
So you're ready to start an eCommerce drop ship business. Congratulations! The first step is the biggest. It's not just saying that you "want to start an online business" but actually taking action and moving towards getting your first sale.
Learn how to choose a niche, find suppliers, set up your online store, get approved for drop ship accounts, upload products into your online store, add a payment processor and starting off your business.
At this point you should already have made a list of products that meet the criteria from Step 1. Now it is time to go out and find your future competition and decide which niche to start with.
What we are going to do here is go out and look for other eCommerce websites who are already selling the products that we have identified in Step 1. It is important to do this product by product and to keep good notes so that you do not get lost in all of the information that you will be looking up.
It is also important to note that we are not going to try to sell all of the products identified in Step 1 on the same eCommerce store. We are going to research each product type independently and then we pick which niche we want to start with. In the future, we can build more eCommerce stores for each other unique product type that we have identified.
If you are ready to start reaching out to suppliers but do not have a new eCommerce store already set up, follow my building a highly converting Shopify store. It should only take you 1 to 2 hours to complete (even with no experience) and it will drastically increase your chances of being approved for an account.
"Excellent! All meat, really juicy, laying it all out with the sweet spot for prices, niches, buyer type, niche cross-selling. So as I hoped a real solid street smart training by somebody who really does this and truly knows this business inside and out. This is solid pro "insider" info, the real deal."
"I've been around internet marketing since 2004. I used to sell sites on SitePoint and DigitalPoint before Twitter, Facebook and the creation of Flippa. I've been everywhere from eBay to Amazon to my own websites and platforms that I built, to Android to iPhone Apps, to Manufacturing, Branding and e-Commerce. This guy knows what is up and I knew it when I read his stuff."
"Just wanted to post a short review after buying this product/course. I already make a full-time income online but I'm always looking for more income streams so I decided to check out this course. I have to be honest, I have purchased courses in the past on this subject and I gave up because I went confused or it just was not explained right. Having bought THIS course, things have changed. His videos are clear and detailed and everything is step by step. I'm already adding products and ready to contact suppliers at this point so I feel confident this venture will be successful. I have spoken directly to Anton numerous times and he has answered each and every question with more than just "yes or no" answers. He is the real deal and he knows what he is talking about!"

Oh Dagmar......you must get out. It can't be that hot anymore! Enjoy this wonderful season and then come in and make a pumpkin pie! LOL
I'm glad you liked these! Tomorrows won't have much in common and you won't have the same problem......at least I think not!! :D
Hi Jan I liked your fall gourds, even though the center images tried to sneak into all the other kaleido images while I was solving it. :))) I loved the bottom row and middle row "lefties". The middle row one looks like a beautiful patterened pumpkin and the bottom row one has nice mixture of colours. :)))
Thanks for reminding me that is autumn, because sitting in my room in front of my computer I hardly notice what season we are in and what's going on outside.
In the center is an image of fall gourds. All of the surrounding kaleidoscopes were made from that image!

Carolina Panthers' home hopes to welcome Chesney in June
As of last week, tour dates were still being confirmed for Chesney and co-headliner Tim McGraw. Together, they are targeting 20 to 22 stadiums, according to a source familiar with the production. NFL facilities were expected to get the majority of those shows.
Chesney's date in Charlotte will be the first concert on the Panthers' field since the Rolling Stones played there Oct. 10, 1997. At the time, the building was called Ericsson Stadium.
Panthers officials referred calls to Chesney's management. Chesney's tour producer, Louis Messina, did not return a call to confirm the Charlotte date.
The Panthers join two NFL clubs that booked Chesney at their stadiums in 2011 after long dry spells between shows.
This year, Arrowhead Stadium and Lambeau Field were among the 11 stadiums on Chesney's "Goin' Coastal" tour. In Green Bay, it was the first concert in 26 years at the Packers' stadium. In Kansas City, there had not been a concert on the field since 2001. The Chiefs were in talks to bring Chesney back to Arrowhead in 2012, said team President Mark Donovan.
Chesney's 2011 show at Arrowhead generated $4.36 million in gross ticket sales and attendance of 52,523, according to Billboard Boxscore. The Chiefs assumed the financial risk to promote the show in tandem with The Messina Group/AEG Live.
With more skin in the game, the Chiefs received a greater share of revenue compared with renting out the stadium.
In Green Bay, local promoter PMI Entertainment took the risk to bring Chesney to Lambeau Field, a show that grossed $4.9 million in ticket sales on attendance of 45,445. The Packers' income from the concert came primarily from concessions and parking revenue.
The Gridiron Stadium Network, 12 NFL facilities that work together to bring special events to their venues, expects a "healthy number" of its members to land Chesney dates next year, said Jeff Apregan, the group's consultant and a former promoter.
The network has developed a close relationship with Chesney and Messina over the past seven years. Since 2005, Chesney has played multiple dates at Heinz Field, Lincoln Financial Field and Ford Field, three members of the network since its inception.
Arrowhead Stadium is also a member of the network, but Lambeau Field and Bank of America Stadium are not. To join, teams must pay an annual fee.
Chesney is set to officially announce his tour today during an appearance on ABC's "Good Morning America."
Mackey's premium seats include iPads, app.
Photo by:XOS DIGITAL
The $100 million in upgrades to the school's 44-year-old arena includes the John R. Wooden Courtside Club, 66 seats spread over the first four rows on the building's west side.
Those seats sell for $4,500 to $8,500 annually for men's games alone with terms of three years up to 18 years. Season tickets are an additional cost.
To add value to those seats, the school worked with tech firm XOS Digital to develop an iPad application providing live streaming video, real-time statistics and scores of other Big Ten games in progress.
Courtside club members pick up the iPads inside the club lounge before tipoff and drop them off after the game. Cisco set up the wireless network powering the iPads. The school bought the iPads direct from Apple.
The iPads are programmed to supply the same video replays shown on the arena's new Daktronics center-hung video board. There is about a 20-second delay from the time the play occurs until it pops up on the iPad, said XOS spokesman Nathan Christopher.
That's not a bad thing. For courtside club members sitting underneath the board, it's easier to view those replays on the tablet than straining to look at the board overhead, said Nick Terruso, Purdue's sports video operations specialist.
The location of those seats was not a determining factor for supplying the iPads, said Morgan Burke, Purdue's athletic director.
"Because of the higher price point, we wanted to add an additional benefit," Burke said. "The iPad allows them to get information on other games as well, so it's not limited to our game."
XOS Digital specializes in producing software for college coaches to manage their teams' video analysis of upcoming opponents. The Purdue application is its first in-arena application for the fans, said Dan Aton, XOS' founder and chief innovation officer.
XOS officials are in early talks with other schools to create similar applications. As the technology develops, there are opportunities for schools to generate revenue by incorporating their sponsors into the applications, Aton said.
In addition, there is the potential for extras such as video replays on demand, concessions ordering, facility diagrams and social media elements.
"We have a full product road map on this," Aton said. "We think there is a large market for this, not just a one-off."
Rental fees for a catered dinner with live music at Minute Maid Park can reach into the mid-six figures.
Photo by:HOUSTON ASTROS
As the calendar year comes to an end, the Astros are closing in on 600 non-baseball events booked on the field, in the stadium's premium spaces and conference rooms, and in the lobby of Union Station, the former train station connected to the ballpark.
Those functions typically produce $3 million to $5 million in annual revenue, said Kala Sorenson, the Astros' vice president of special events. Rental fees range from $12,000 to $15,000 for companies to take batting practice, to mid-six figures for catered dinners with live music.
An improving economy, a more aggressive approach to booking those events, repeat business and strong interest in team-building efforts such as scavenger hunts led to the spike in sales, Sorenson said.
For the first three weekends of December, Minute Maid Park's multiple event spaces are 95 percent booked with holiday parties, Sorenson said. One of those functions, Dec. 10, is Citgo's party for 2,000 employees on the field.
It is the first time Citgo has used the park for its annual holiday event, Sorenson said. The petroleum company, an Astros sponsor, has a large sign over the light standard in left field.
A recent Taylor Swift concert at Minute Maid Park produced merchandise per caps of "well over" $20, among the highest numbers on the pop star's tour, Sorenson said.

Pointstreak expands data systems with Flyers, Penguins
Sports entrepreneurs Scott Secord and Kevin Lovitt are marketing software designed to help NHL teams form stronger ties with local hockey programs.
At Consol Energy Center, fans can view real-time stats from area youth hockey leagues.
Pittsburgh Penguins
The company also designs websites and provides content distribution for those leagues. The firm's data show those sites combined are drawing an average of 6 million visitors a month in 2011.
Over the past year, Pointstreak, under Secord, its president and CEO, has expanded its operation to the NHL, signing deals with the Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins.
The Flyers partnered with Pointstreak in early October to install computer terminals at the scorer's tables at 83 community rinks in eastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey and Delaware. The Flyers invested $200,000 to modernize those rinks' scoring systems with digital technology.
In total, the Flyers' reach through Pointstreak extends to 14,000 youth and adult players, said Shawn Tilger, the Flyers' senior vice president of business operations.
Flyers President Peter Luukko saw Pointstreak's scoring system while watching his son Nick play for the Dubuque (Iowa) Fighting Saints at a United States Hockey League game and thought it would be a smart investment, Tilger said.
The Flyers also pay player registration fees. On average those fees are $5 to $9 a player, said Lovitt, formerly with IMG and the NHL Players' Association and now president of 50/50 Central, a digital raffle system Pointstreak bought in October.
The Flyers get access to a database tied to the websites run by the youth leagues. Every time a boy or girl registers to play hockey, the Flyers capture that information. After registration, users can choose to opt out of receiving Flyers messages.
"It's a way for us to touch every active member in the youth hockey market in our region through one centralized system," he said.
Philadelphia's system was set to be operational by Nov. 11. The Flyers will generate revenue through increased traffic to their website, with the potential of selling more tickets, Tilger said.
The Penguins signed with Pointstreak in spring 2010. Like the Flyers, the Penguins paid for installing the terminals at local rinks and the registration fees for 8,000 players competing in two leagues.
At Consol Energy Center, the Penguins installed Pointstreak's technology in touch-screen displays at the Highmark Youth Hockey Center on the main concourse. Fans can view real-time scores and statistics from area high school and amateur hockey games.
The Penguins view Pointstreak's system as a way to give back to the leagues that support them by attending NHL games, said Max Malone, the team's manager of interactive development. "There is an opportunity to sell sponsorship, but we do not," Malone said.
Pointstreak's 50/50 Central has raffle deals with seven major league teams (see box). No teams use both Pointstreak and 50/50 Central, but the firm's business strategy is for clubs to tap into both systems to further support local hockey.
In Canada, where 50-50 raffles are a big part of the sports culture, the Winnipeg Jets generated about $140,000 on opening night at 15,500-seat MTS Centre. The Calgary Flames, a former investor in 50/50 Central before Pointstreak bought 100 percent of the company, generates an average of nearly $70,000 using the system at every home game, Lovitt said.
One challenge to 50/50 Central is the gambling restrictions in Canada and the U.S. Lovitt, an attorney by trade, says he can sell the system in about 45 states, but in Pennsylvania, home to the Flyers and Penguins as well as two teams in MLB and another in the NBA, raffles are outlawed. The NFL does not allow raffles.
In Toronto, Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment runs 50-50 raffles the old-fashioned way at Air Canada Centre because of an Ontario law prohibiting automated systems. Pointstreak has a law firm on retainer lobbying regulatory commission officials to change the law.
"We are confident there will be determination to all of this in our favor," Lovitt said.

When the gang robs a legless man, Sandra is arrested, promising to leave El Cordobes if he doesn't straighten out. Instead, the youth acquires a gun and borrows a 1971 Ford Fairlane in preparation for a restaurant heist. Shown at the 1998 San Sebastian Film Festival.

KC has yet to fill out a bio.
New F.M.
leave a comment'
That's a good plan, similar to the one I followed when I first got here. For 3 months, I didn't write any articles or make any comments. I just read and studied. Then one day, I decided what I wanted to write about, I published it, and I sought out a respected writer for pointers.
MMA has a thriving community here, and so does tennis. I do not follow MMA much, but you might want to check out King J (whom I really enjoy) and Stoker. There might be another, I will have to check my list and get back with you.
As for the Tennis Community, there are several brilliant writers that I follow over there. First and foremost is Rob York, my favorite writer on the entire site; JA Allen, who brings a poetic lyricism to her writing; Karthika M, one of the biggest Federer marks I have encountered; clarabella bevis, a very moving, passionate author; and claudia celestial girl (a scientist) & Rajat Jain, two of the best analysts you ever want to see.
Then there is Julian Johnson, who was taught by one of the best Black tennis coaches ever, and who has personally met Bjorn Borg and Arthur Ashe, among others. He's deep and he's powerful, I love his style.
So take some time and check those magnificent authors out; reading their work can help you further refine your "voice." As for me, my own style is like, "Hey, come walk with me, I have a story that I want to share," and I'm still refining it. From reading Rob's work, I am learning how to be more economical, because (as this post demonstrates! lol) I can get long-winded. I'm a bit anal and sometimes jam a bit too much into my work.
Get back with me after you have made it through those writers and I can give you some more suggestions.
I had a serious "DUH @ Me" moment. I get blinders on sometimes, because I get so many read requests, and I will queue up 8 or 10 and a time, and just read/comment without any attention being paid to the profiles. So I'm like "profile pic?" and then it still didn't hit me until I saw on a comment thread on the del Potro article that he had President Obama in his profile pic!
Anyway. . .
I think Usama has a very interesting style. Short and sweet, with a bit of counterintelligence agent mixed in, namely, even when he tells you what's on his mind, there's still the insidious "Is he being sarcastic?" question in your head at times. Very effective, and it's become a much more popular style lately. People don't always want to feel as if they're being told what to think, they just want you to point them in the right direction sometimes, and then let them decide for themselves. Usama does that quite effectively.
What sports do you follow besides tennis?
Hey man, thanks for spreading the word about my articles. I didnt even know, Conor told me the only reason he checked them out was because you commented on his article.
Thanks a lot again
Hi KC! Thanks for the link to your friend's Rafa Nadal piece. I thought it was very well-witten. It will be interesting to see how Nadal performs in his return from knee injuries. I personally believe that the Spaniard is going to wear his body out at a relatively young age. He's had numerous problems with both legs, esp. the knees. I can't see him thriving for more than 2-3 more years.
But time will tell!
Thanks again for the heads-up. Feel free to post me at any time, should you have something else you would like for me to read, or if you write something of your own!
For tennis, quick daily federer moments, you'll understand when you read the pretext.
2 so far,

What is the most expensive thing your kids have ruined?
The drum set was an accident.
The couch and dining table wasn't and he was is grounded.
The dvd player I don't even know when she did that.
People think I'm crazy for not buying new furniture or electronics. We have tube tv's, VHS players, record and cassette players still for a reason. If they break it, it's either gone forever or it's only $1 to replace it. Hell, people post tube tv's under free on craigslist. They don't touch the DVD's or CD's. We keep our computer upstairs and out of the main living area. It may seem crazy, but I'm not shelling out $$$$$ to have it trashed within a year. My bests son demolished their flat screen twice, once by pretending to be a knight, the second; he tippe over and walked on the box that had the new one in it. So Nopeity Nope Nope.
my son put a plastic baseball bat through our $1500 TV. It was dumb to my IMO but my husband really wanted it.
My son (he was 10 back then) stepped on my one-week-old laptop, which was quite expensive. I believe I paid about $1700 for it. The screen was done, the keyboard was not exactly functioning anymore either.
My nephew has damaged our cough by rocking against it almost none stop for two months. It's still servicable, by will need to be replaced soon. My daughter has ruined a couple mobile phones by either teething on them or letting them go for a "swim" in the dog's water bowl.
