Gang cut off finger of kidnap victim and sent it to his family to demand ransom cash
A SADISTIC gang cut off a kidnap victim's FINGER and sent it to his family to demand £60,000 ransom money, a court has heard.
The van in which Damien Lowe had his finger cut off
Damien Lowe, 26, was just hours from death when he was eventually rescued after being bound, gagged and beaten by a group of callous men.
The horrific ordeal began when Mr Lowe was snatched from the street at gunpoint and bundled into a Vauxhall Combo van by three masked men on Monday, September 30 last year.
After being shoved into the van, Mr Lowe was driven to a lock-up garage at the rear of the home of two of the gang members near Foleshill in Coventry.
Leamington Justices Centre heard how over the next 36 hours, a terrified Mr Lowe was savagely beaten with metal bars and kept bound and gagged in the vehicle.
Near the start of the ordeal, the bruised and bloodied victim was forced to hand over a number for his relatives, so the kidnappers could demand £60,000 in ransom money.
After the first call to his loved ones failed to reach an agreement, Mr Lowe was then held down and had his little finger cut off.
The end of the severed digit was then burned to cauterise the wound.
The missing portion was left at the original kidnap scene in a plastic bag to be found by his family, who were warned their loved one would lose another digit every hour unless the whole ransom was paid.
The police had already been alerted to the kidnapping by a member of public, and at this point were able to trace the ruthless gang through their phone calls to the Lowe family.
The calls were traced to one gang member, and police were then able to follow him to a house in Coventry.
Damien described the torture as though scissors were cutting through his finger, they were hacking away and his finger was eventually left flopping
Officers began monitoring the property, unaware Mr Lowe was being held in the rear lock-up of the home.
Later, the group headed to the home of another gang member in Birmingham, where the victim's family, who were wary of involving the police to begin with, dropped off almost £20,000.
Soon after, the kidnappers returned to where Mr Lowe was being held and later that night, three cars left the property.
In the boot of one of them was Mr Lowe who was then driven a few miles away, barely conscious, and dumped down a secluded roadside grass bank.
Police were on the scene within minutes and a "delirious" Mr Lowe was rushed to hospital where he was treated for severe blood loss and dehydration.
With the victim safe, waiting armed police then swooped on the Foleshill address where they found the ransom money.
All the members were arrested shortly afterwards.
Detective Sergeant Donna Hunt, from West Midlands Police, said: "The whole exercise of this kidnap was to extort money out of Damien's family.
"The demand for money came within a couple of hours of them taking Damien, but he can't really be sure of time because he was held in darkness in the back of the van the whole time.
"He thought he was going to die pretty much all the way through.
"Damien described the torture as though scissors were cutting through his finger, they were hacking away and his finger was eventually left flopping.
"There was blood everywhere. It was horrific."
Yesterday, Yusuf Akbar, 33, of Birmingham, Ralph McLeod, 37 and Lewis Poyser, 24, both from Coventry, were found guilty at the Leamington Justices Centre of false imprisonment, blackmail and grievous bodily harm (GBH) with intent.
Seven more men - Ishmaeel Akbar, 32, of Tipton, Anthony McLeod, 34, Kofi Poyser, 23, Kadeem Poyser, 21, Jermaine Campbell, 24, Lemar Grant, 26 and Ricardo Grant, 24, all from Coventry, had already pleaded guilty to the crime as well as other offences at earlier hearings.
The charges included kidnap, possession of a firearm, false imprisonment, blackmail, and GBH with intent.
They were all remanded in custody and will reappear at Leamington Justice Centre on January 23, when they will face lengthy jail sentences.
Detective Chief Inspector Simon Wallis, from West Midlands Police, said at one point over 100 officers had been working to find the victim, who was saved thanks to an operation by West Midlands Police's Serious Organised Crime Unit (SOCU).
Detective Wallis said: "Whilst we seek to catch the perpetrators, the absolute priority is to save a life.
"Kidnap cases and ones as horrific as this are mercifully rare nationally, let alone in the Midlands.
"It involved a unique policing response of many, many specialist teams.
"We took the matter very seriously from the moment we got the first call."

FontLab 6 to be... Flash?
Primary tabs
Moving future Fontlab releases to Adobe AIR seems like a great idea to me. Fontlab has a tiny user base and supporting multiple platforms is a waste of scarce resources.
Oh no. I suggest that the Fontlab guys concentrate on the Windows platform, and the Dutch concentrate on OS X. We just need that glyph editor Georg... By the way, who uses DLT FontTools (other than DLT)?
Moving any software releases to Adobe AIR seems like a terrible idea to me.
I can't read that site but did fine this one particular quote funny (and somewhat true):
«And AIR apps are like modern day Java applets... sure, they run on every platform. But they also suck on every platform.»
Yeah, but for Fontlab just sucking on every platform would be a huge improvement.
I'm looking forward to it! But I doubt the supposed switch will happen in v6. Besides, Yuri already revealed the plans for the next version of Fontlab. He laid them out at Robothon http://blip.tv/file/1911058
Maybe this will be an additional push to help Georg and/or Erik/Tal/Just/et al to get out a nice Mac drawing app.
Fingers crossed for an alternative!
PS- Claus- URW++ is DTL's (other) customer I believe.
Sorry, I can't read Russian... But if it's true, I am not looking forward to it. :-(
"Flash: Our new super-mega пупер programs at the UI will slelan FLECHE (omit the technical details)."
Well, that clears things up.
So, is this real or what?
I'm wondering if they might use Flash just for the UI aspect of FontLab Studio. Adobe's been known to do some of that itself.
Hard to tell, my Russian is a bit rusty:
новых супер-пупер мега программах
transliterates as:
of the new super-pooper mega programs
What do you think?
Во всех наши новых супер-пупер мега программах UI будет слелан на флеше
But after mega programs it says UI, so I think Thomas is right.
Incidentally, I'm always amused when Russian-Speaking people try to transliterate flash back into English. It often ends up as "flesh," as in "Experienced flesh designer wanted."
Apparently the following sentence reads: "If someone from the interested persons believed that this is fundamentally wrong is the most time speak!"
Actually a lot of you already use flash apps in your Adobe products. Certain pallets in Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator are actually tiny flash applications interacting with your software.
A perfect example of this is the kuler pallet in Illustrator. Go to Window > Adobe Labs > Kuler. You can see how well integrated it is to the application with the added benefit of communicating to the kuler site.
I don't know how Fontlab6 will use Flash but don't write off their interest in Flash right away.
It can be an easy way to do cross-platform stuff that involves extensive interaction, so heavily UI-oriented elements are often a first choice for moving *part* of a program to Flash.
Or so I learned back in my Adobe days. Not that I'm a real programmer myself. :)
Thank you Pentapus, Thomas, and Steve, for your comments.

SALEM, Ore. (KOIN) — A 20-year-old man suspected of burglarizing multiple Salem apartments was arrested Saturday after police surrounded a creek he had fallen into.
Reports of a suspect peering into apartment windows and shining a flashlight on the 3300 block of Felina Avenue NE came in just before 5 a.m., Salem Police Dept. said.
Officers were heading to the scene when another report came in of a suspect who entered a home on the same street and took off on foot. When they arrived, they reportedly found a man hanging out of an apartment window.
The suspect, later identified as Timothy Christian Desjarlais, ran off when police approached him and climbed over a fence, jumped into thick brush and fell into a creek. Officers said he tried to flee again, but was surrounded and taken into custody.
Investigators determined Desjarlais broke into 2 apartments and 3 cars, which he allegedly stole property from. The items were returned to the victims, police said.
Desjarlais was arrested for 2 counts of first-degree burglary, interfering with a police officer and on a parole violation. He was also arrested for burglary on July 30.

For engineers and designers of medical devices, familiarity with U.S. patent rights is necessary to protect inventions. Before filing an application, it is important to distinguish "prior-art" from "novel" inventions.
In the crowded field of medical devices, it can be difficult to protect inventions through patents. However, it is essential for a company to be competitive, and receiving a patent is the first step. A patent does not grant the owner the right to sell the patented invention; in fact, it only prevents competitors from selling it. Thus, obtaining a patent is an essential first-step in protecting the owner's rights.
A key to patenting an invention is establishing "novelty," which means that an invention is new in that it is not already disclosed or part of the public domain. An invention may be qualified as novel when it has not appeared in "prior art," including other patents, publications, trade brochures, and advertisements on sale or otherwise available to the public.
Accordingly, if a medical device designer creates an invention which is not in the prior art, the invention is novel. Also, depending on where patent protection is sought, "novel" means the inventor may not disclose the invention to others outside of his or her company before filing a patent application.
Prior-art patents and published patent applications in the U.S. can be located by searching the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office website. A list of patent documents is available from a simple keyword search in the "abstract and title" fields, and the documents are certainly worth studying. A more thorough search can be performed with knowledge of the USPTO's elaborate patent classification system.
Patents are grouped into categories known as "classes or subclasses," which are based on the subject matter of the patent. Relevant classes and subclasses can be identified by reviewing the front page of patents with similar subject matter, such as patents from competitors. If a patent is found that reveals a person's "invention," it is not actually "novel" and patent protection is not available.
The public use or display of an invention, at a trade show or public forum, for example, or the publication of a technical paper discussing the invention, are within the inventor's control or the control of the inventor's company. If public displays or publications occur prior to the filing of a patent application they will cause an invention to lose its "novelty." It is important to be aware that the U.S. gives inventors a full year to file a patent application after any such public disclosure or publication. However, most foreign countries do not offer the one year window, making it important to file a U.S. patent application prior to public disclosure in order to protect one's foreign patent rights.
Patent rights can also be lost if the inventor and his company abandon the invention. Abandonment may occur when work on an invention is completed, but is put on hold for a length of time without promptly filing a patent application. There are different reasons for abandonment. For instance, in the context of a large company, an employee decides the invention is not feasible due to cost, lack of customer interest, or production issues. If a competitor then files a patent application to the same invention, he will receive the patent although he conceived of the invention later. In addition, failure to meet deadlines set by the USPTO will result in abandonment of a patent application.
An inventor's prior-filed foreign patent application can also result in the loss of U.S. patent rights. Typically, the happens when the foreign application becomes a patent or is published before the U.S. patent application is filed.
To reiterate, obtaining a patent does not give a person the right to sell the patented invention. A patent only prevents others from making, using, or selling, the invention. A person should also consider that patents are often improvements on other inventions, meaning the improved product includes the original invention. For that reason, companies should perform freedom-to-operate studies on intended products prior to marketing them, regardless of whether the new product is covered by its own patent.
Freedom-to-operate studies involve locating relevant U.S. patents and determining whether those patents cover the new product. Since a U.S. patent can be enforced twenty years from its application filing date, studies need to look at relevant patents filed less than twenty years earlier. In other words, expired patents cannot be infringed.
Overall, it is essential that engineers and designers of medical devices file U.S. patent applications as soon as an invention is fully developed in order to protect patent rights. In addition, patents owned by the competition should be carefully checked before developing and marketing a new product.

This pregnancy is hard emotionally and physically. Nothing is wrong with the baby it's just difficult and I feel like a faliure. I've had 2 root canals and dread going to the dentist, I'm great with my teeth but 5 pregnancy have done my teeth in. Plus now being pregnant mess them with all the hormones. Doesn't help with the pregnancy I ate ice like candy. I hate that I had to pay for the root canals which took away from my kids. Christmas is difficult this year and I feel like I'm to blame. I know that my emotions are getting the best of me, and I wish my mom would help me out just a lil but she basically say I brought this on myself I can deal with it. Dh is really helpful when hie is home but he can't stay home the whole 9 months. I know that these first handful of weeks are the hardest I feel like nothing I do is good enough or worry that I'm not spending enough time with my kids. UGH ! If you 've made it this far thank you I know you would understand seeing how rough it can be at time with large family.

There are probably stranger ways to pass an afternoon than watching Manny Ramirez try his hand at cricket under a scorching desert sun. I'm having trouble coming up with any, though.
But, yes, the pictures proved this really happened and I was somehow also there to witness the scene. An hour before noon on Wednesday, the Dodgers' left fielder walked down into a Gilbert, Arizona park basin to play a sport he had only seen on television once and only "for a few minutes."
So why was he doing this, exactly?
"Just having fun," explained Manny, though one presumes that he was also paid more than gas money to travel east across the valley to promote DIRECTV's "Cricket Ticket" package with Australian cricket star Shaun Marsh.
When I first arrived, the head PR guy said that this was strictly going to be a photo op. After all, Manny is suffering from a sore hamstring and has been limited to B.P. and pool running this week. The plan was that he'd get into the gear, stand near the wickets and pose as bowlers from the Arizona Cricket Club hurled their soft tosses at him.
But when Ramirez arrived and donned the equipment — including a cup he announced was "too small" — he simply couldn't refrain from taking a couple of hacks. The thought of Dodgers owner Frank McCourt cringing over his $45 million investment never seemed to enter Manny's mind during the demonstration. (Not that it would have mattered if it had.)
Ramirez, the best right-handed hitter of his generation, swung through a couple of the tosses, but connected on a few more. After one long drive to what would have been center field, Ramirez tossed aside the cricket bat and started his trot, only to be sternly reminded that cricket players must run at all times with the bat in their hands.
"But no running today," one of his handlers quickly reminded.
In the end, I'm sure that Manny is going to draw a lot of criticism for coming out to play cricket for cash when he's not yet healthy enough to play left field at Chavez Ravine. It's definitely warranted, though the whole exercise didn't look overly strenuous.
Also, look at it this way: Maybe now a few cricket teams will actually be able to create a real bidding war once Scott Boras has Manny opt out of his contract after this season.
You know, none of that "mystery team" junk. Long live the Royal Bengal Tigers!

To see more of Manny's cricket exploits, check out the video I put together below. (And don't worry, folks, the video works. No idea what's going on with those goofy bars.)

Discussing T.C. Steele
The grandniece of the Italian Renaissance art connoisseur Bernard Berenson, Rachel Berenson Perry worked at the T. C. Steele State Historic Site in Brown County for more than a decade, doing everything from giving tours to mowing the property. Today, the fine art curator emeriti of the Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites, Perry is the acknowledged expert on a variety of Indiana artists, including Steele.
Recently, she was tasked by the Indiana Historical Society with helping update a book IHS first published in 1966, The House of the Singing Winds: The Life and Work of T. C. Steele. Perry wrote a new essay for the book on Selma Neubacher Steele, and selected the paintings to be included in the book. She also is guest curator of the exhibition based on the book, Indiana Impressions: The Art of T. C. Steele, which will be at the History Center in the Rosemary McKee Lanham Gallery from April 21 through July 9.
Perry took some time to answer some questions about the book and the exhibition.
What is the appeal of T. C. Steele as an artist?
T. C. Steele's landscapes of our state are easily recognized and understood by all Hoosiers. Through his paintings, he continues to help us see the subtle beauty of Indiana in all its changing seasons.
How important was Selma Neubacher to Steele's work?
Without the practical help of Selma Neubacher Steele, taking care of the daily chores of living, T. C. Steele would not have had the freedom to pursue his artwork. Her efforts to ensure that their beloved House of the Singing Winds and property would be taken over by the state helped to ensure T. C. Steele's legacy.
How much influence did Selma have on the development of the House of the Singing Winds?
Although the property and house were originally T. C. Steele's vision, it was Selma Steele who embraced the hilltop estate as her own creative expression. The interior décor of the house and studio are greatly influenced by her Arts and Crafts preferences, including her hand-stenciled curtains. She spent many years developing landscaping for the property with multiple flower gardens, formal gardens, driveway borders, lily ponds, and fruit orchards.
In researching and writing about Selma, did you find anything out about her that surprised you?
Many art collectors of today are under the impression that Selma was a taskmaster, driving her husband to produce as many paintings as possible. Nothing could be further from the truth. Although her strident personality alienated many Brown County natives, her intentions were always good, and the softer side of Selma came through in her letters to friends.
How did you go about selecting what Steele paintings would be featured in the book?
I had much help from Jim Ross, of Eckert and Ross Fine Art, Curt Churchman of Fine Estate Art, and many individuals to locate high quality paintings in private collections. Although there were iconic images that needed to be included, I tried to find some paintings that had not been seen by the public.
Do you have a favorite Steele painting? If so, why?
I'm personally drawn to Steele's more moody works that incorporate a misty quality, like "Street Scene with Carriage" (1894) and "On the Mississinewa" (1895).
What is your next project?
So glad you asked. I'm writing a biography of African-American artist Felrath Hines (1913 to 1993), to be co-published by Indiana University Press and the Indiana Historical Society [Press]. Hines had a fascinating life, and his modernistic abstract artwork is impeccable.
The House of the Singing Winds: The Life and Work of T.C. Steele will be available for purchase in late April. If you would like to pre-order a copy, call the Basile History Market at (317) 234-0020.

IF there was ever an image to get parents thinking twice before feeding their kids fast food, this is it.
A woman who claims she left a McDonald's Happy Meal untouched for six years as an experiment has shared the nasty outcome on social media, accompanied with a receipt dating back to January 8, 2010.
Jennifer Lovdahl, a chiropractor from Alaska in the US, posted the photos to Facebook, saying she initially conducted the experiment to prove to her patients how many chemicals are in fast food items.
"It's been 6 years since I bought this 'Happy Meal' at McDonald's," she wrote.
"It's been sitting at our office this whole time and has not rotted, molded, or decomposed at all!!! It smells only of cardboard."
The nuggets and fries, which Ms Lovedahl says were left out of the fridge the whole time, appear to be in pristine condition.
One Facebook user observed, "The receipt has disintegrated more than the food."

Nebraska Football Offers Third 2018 Quarterback
The Nebraska football team is going all in on quarterbacks for next year's recruiting class.
The team had previously offered two 2018 quarterback recruits and now there is a third one who holds a scholarship offer. The latest offer has gone out to Georgia quarterback Justin Fields who announced he'd received the offer on Twitter.
It's clear the Huskers are aiming high with this recruit now on their radar. Fields is rated among the top 100 players in the 2018 class by 247 Sports and he's also ranked as the number four ranked dual-threat quarterback in the class.
Both of these things make the Nebraska football target a 4-star recruit who is getting plenty of attention from other schools all over the country. From his home area, Fields has been garnering the most attention and showing the most interest in North Carolina and Tennesee.
Blessed to have received an offer from Nebraska!! ????⚪???? pic.twitter.com/afcpCKrJDh
— Justin Fields (@justnfields) October 18, 2016
The Big Ten has quite a bit of interest in the quarterback as well. Penn State and Northwestern have both offered a scholarship. He's also most recently gotten offers from Louisville, South Carolina, TCU, and Indiana.
As of now, Mike Riley and company haven't said specifically how many quarterbacks the Nebraska football team wants to lure in for the 2018 class. It would seem likely the coaching staff would like to get at least two, considering the lack of depth at that position after this year.
As of now, Justin Fields has not announced when or if he might visit the Huskers. In the recent past, he has only paid an unofficial visit to Louisville and Tennessee.

Over deze norm

|Elektrisch materieel, systemen en elektronische toepassingen voor spoorwegen en soortgelijk geleid vervoer
|Gepubliceerd op
This European Standard describes the electrical characteristics of the three-phase train line which delivers the electrical energy from the auxiliary power converter system to the auxiliary loads. It applies to - locomotive hauled passenger trains, - electric multiple units, - diesel electric multiple units. This European Standard may apply to other rolling stock types (e.g. light rail vehicles, tramways, metros, etc.) if they are not in the scope of another specific standard. The three-phase voltage characteristics depend on the performances of the auxiliary converters which supply the train line but also on the AC load characteristics connected to this train line. In railway applications the available auxiliary power of the train line is generally a little higher than the power needed by the consumer loads, consequently tight interactions between the auxiliary power converter system and the loads are common and have to be taken into consideration for a proper operation at train system level. The main objective followed by this European Standard is to define as much as possible the static characteristics and the dynamic behaviour of the on-board three-phase supply network to assure the best electrical compatibility with the AC loads connected to. This European Standard is a guideline for specifying and designing the different parts of the auxiliary power supply system namely the different auxiliary converters and the AC loads (i.e. 3 AC motors, converters, filters, transformers, etc.) connected to the grid. Some specific characteristics of the train line voltage may impact the reliability and the life time of the AC loads if they are not taken into consideration during the design phase of the AC loads. The three-phase train line voltages are never perfectly balanced and pure sinusoidal waveform voltages, as examples: - the switching of the semi-conductors within the static auxiliary converters may generate voltage harmonics and dv/dt steps on the train line; - the line to earth voltage level can vary with the auxiliary supply architecture and the type of faults in the train line; - a common mode voltage can appear to the star point of the 3 AC loads; - the non linear AC loads can be a source of current harmonics, those currents combined with the train line impedance create voltage harmonics too (mainly the input rectifiers of certain AC loads). In summary: - voltage harmonics can generate additional noise, extra Joule or iron losses in auxiliary motors and transformers; - high dv/dt and the common mode voltage are at the origin of motor bearing currents due to the EDM (electrostatic discharge machining) effect which may lead to a reduced bearing lifetime; - voltage spikes and overvoltages may cause an early ageing of the winding insulation material

Tom Holkenborg, aka Junkie XL, announced that he has left the Deadpool sequel in support of recently departed director, Tim Miller, who abandoned the project earlier after clashing with star Ryan Reynolds. Holkenborg, who got his start as an electronic musician, migrated to film and has composed music for Point Break, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Mad Max: Fury Road, and the upcoming Justice League, Dark Tower and Godzilla 2.
Facebook Statement:
"It is with a heavy heart that I have decided not to score the upcoming Deadpool movie. I love this character and creating his and the movie's original score was a monumental chapter in my life, personally and professionally. Since it was revealed that Deadpool's brilliant, creative director Tim Miller will not be involved in the project anymore, I have undertaken some soul-searching. Tim was the driving force behind Deadpool and me getting involved in this amazing project. Deadpool without Tim at the helm just does not sit right with me, and that is why I have decided not to be involved in the second chapter. It was a difficult decision, as I love the project so much, and I know how eagerly the next installment will be anticipated. It's hard to walk away from something so unique, but it also has to feel right."
It's a shame that the pre-production of Deadpool 2 is such a mess. The film hit the perfect note between comedy and action and most of that has to do with the film's aesthetic, the directing and Reynold's pitch perfect take on the character…no easy task. There have been many reports on what caused Miller to walk away, but most cite that the disagreement centers around Miller wanting a more polished follow-up, while Reynolds wanted to stick to the lo-fi approach that worked so well in the original. Although fans are clamoring for Quentin Tarantino to take on the project, and you know it would rock with him at the helm, it doesn't seem to fit into his "I'm directing ten films and then retiring" agenda. Other directors in contention are reportedly Drew Goddard, Magnus Martens and David Leitch, who has emerged as the frontrunner according to Variety.

Is there a point that you just give up?

Look im not saying that Stafford isnt a tough kid, he proved that last year vs Cleveland. but so far history has shown that he cant stay healthy. given its only been 2 years, but he has had 3 serious injuries. be it he is fragile, unlucky, Lions curse whatever, he has not been able to stay on the field. what has he played in 2 years 8-10 games total? and NFL QB's get hit every game and still dont end up on the IR list. Stafford is not the only guy out there getting beat up.
I agree we need to beef up our O-Line but that is not a quick fix and I cant see it changing anytime soon, we are picking top 5 again next year (IMO) and from what I see there are no Left Tackles worth taking that high, we probably go with Peterson. so that leaves us with a second round LT.. can we get a second round lineman that is a franchise LT.
unlike a lot of people I do not have faith in Mayhew yet, this is the same guy that passed on Michael Oher for friggen Pettigrew... is he better then Millen yes, but my Dog could crap on a list of names and pick better then Millen.
so when will the line be good enough to protect him, he is going to be taking a beating for a while."You see that foundation right there, now there's termites living there and they live there every day an you don't see them until you start losing. And when you lose they start crawling out. Now what we'll do is when they crawl out we'll get there names and remember their faces so when we start winning again we'll know who we can trust"

Even though it was the correct call as the officials were instructed to use, it is absolutely the worst rule interpretation I have ever seen in my 50 odd years of watching football.
Bill Polian, the Colts GM who sits on the rules committee actually tried to justify this ridiculous interpretation today on NFL Network.
It simply left me extremely angry at the NFL for having such an interpretation in place. It is beyond comprehension.
As for Stafford's injury, I have to blame the organization as I repeatedly said before the draft that a LT was a must otherwise we could expect serious injuries to Stafford and a very short career. It is practically the rule of thumb in the NFL, that a team must protect a franchise QB's blindside at all costs or expect the worst. Going with Backus was ridiculous IMO and the organization paid the price. I just pray it is not to late for Stafford.And proud of it!!!
The thing with Backus is he played fairly well last year and the staff loves him. Oher over Pettigrew is slowly becoming more and more obvious even to homer Lions fans like myself, but I would much rather have Suh and Best at this point still. Who knows how rookie Roger Saffold would do against Peppers and I don't want Trent or Okung over Suh at all. Backus made 3 mistakes on Sunday and one was a big one. Backus has played better(shutting down Freeney in 2008, Osi,Ware in 2007, he's played worse, most of Martz years). He's average nothing more nothing less but he's never been a liability until now. He's never gotten a Qb hurt before. Stafford is not out for the year though and it may only be a few games. Hope is not lost yet. And even if we had a stud LT, Backus might still be on the field at RT.
On rotoworld.....
Matthew Stafford (shoulder) met with Dr. James Andrews on Tuesday and remains week-to-week, according to the Lions.
The ultra-secretive Lions admitted that they have a "really good idea" about a diagnosis and recovery time, but refused to even reveal the results of Stafford's MRI. The Detroit News suggests Stafford did not damage his labrum or rotator cuff, which means he likely just damaged the ligaments around his AC joint. It's going to take some time to get full range of motion back, but we're guessing that Stafford could be back within four weeks. His arm was not in a sling Wednesday.

Speed clearance? Lagtastic! Seems like something that will add a lot more playing time to wartune. It already takes way too long to do everything or even just things you really need to do.
probably spend $ to reduce time 😀
$ kaching kaching $
cant they add something decent to the shops ffs every shop these days is useless items for older players
isn't the yellow crystal for people with titans? why would someone with knighthood need kyanite?
Yellow Crystal shop seems to be semi ported almost directly ish from the Amethyst Mine's Shop for the most part (ignoring the mount)
Wish they created a blitz for dimensions…when i saw this teaser i had hope for about2 seconds…then u had to burst my hope. lol!
its pathetic the way tyemple is set–frkin pathetic—reviving from the dead–come on–I can barely kill 2-4 friggas once—but you make me do it twice–its fking sad that you have to cheat people-=–14mil br and lucky to get lvl one–real sad–oif this patch anything like temple—what a waste–you cut out the middle man who worked hard to get where there at–MAKE TEMPLE FAIR__ITS A CHEAT—Pathetic and sad–r2/ or whoever creating this stuff your ruining a great game
Titan temple isn't designed for everyone to easily beat it, however, saying that, by the time you hit 14m br, you should be getting 8 stages a day completed on average (regardless of class).
i am 14mil BR mage TITAN temple sucks and onlymade for ARCHERS or higher BR with better titan skils
still only manage to pass lvl 3 or 4 if lucky

How many of you love Oreo's? How about Milkshake? Well what if I told you I combined the both! I'm sharing with you today a delicious and easy Oreo Milkshake recipe that's will help your sweet tooth.
So today's post doesn't really need a recipe. I mean, I've included one just for the sake of including one, but it's really just 3 ingredients. Oreos, vanilla ice cream and milk. No matter how you do it, these Oreo Milkshakes are a classic American treat!
I grew up drinking Oreo milkshakes and now I'm sharing this delicious milkshake with my boys. It's perfect for the summer.
- 12 Oreo cookies
- 6-8 Scoops of Vanilla Ice Cream
- 2 cup of 2% milk
- Whip Cream
- Ice is optional but I didn't use it since the ice cream was cold.
- 1. In a blender place the cookies, milk and ice cream. Blend until the cookies are crumbs.
- 2. Serve in your favorite cup & add whip cream.
- You can chop the cookies before placing them in the blender if you like to.

When it is hard to make sense of what is going on with the global economy I feel it is often best to try and remove the noise created by endless stock market reports, economic surveys, financial forecasts etc. and try and focus on facts not fiction. It also helps to put aside people's opinions (including our own), relax and calmly assess what the data is really telling us, as opposed to trying to use this data to predict the future.
Firstly we all need to appreciate that the results from surveys of any form are not a perfectly reliable source of information. Just because a survey of business confidence says companies are more optimistic about the future does not mean business conditions will improve. Surveys can be pretty unreliable so I put them into the " noise" category and therefore will not take them into account in my attempt to put together a big picture economic view.
Secondly forecasts, as I frequently mention, are best described as forward looking guesstimates. No matter how many degrees a person has the fact is that none of us mere mortals can see clearly into the future.Yes we all make forecasts in some form as investors, but we should appreciate how limited these forecasts are and be prepared to admit we were wrong, regroup and get over ourselves.
People who boast that their forecasts are always accurate are either egomaniacs, are delusional or are trying to sell you something. (or a combination of all three)
So what do I consider as hard data? Well unemployment numbers, actual reported trade figures, stock market levels and economic indicators like the Baltic Dry Index (BDI) are what I consider good sources of hard data. Of course even hard data can be tweaked or massaged so I am not suggesting that any of the aforementioned data sets are flawless, but they certainly give us a better view of what is actually happening than surveys or the ramblings of financial journalists.
Let's start off with one fact we know is true; the global financial crisis has resulted in the loss of millions of jobs across the G-20 nations. In addition the number of hours worked per person has also decreased in most of these countries and thus millions of people have seen their earnings reduced.
So we know that there is less money flowing into the hands of consumers. This can be also be confirmed by looking at official retail sales figures or checking the annual reports of the major retailers.
We also know that billions of dollars have been wiped off the value of assets across the globe ranging from property in Ireland to the stocks portfolios of many thousands of Australians. Some companies and individuals have taken investment losses of 20% or much more and this will hit government tax revenues.
All in all, a lot of people and companies have less money at their disposal now than they did before the GFC struck. Household finances need to be adjusted and corporate balance sheets repaired. These are facts.
To save us all from a global depression so terrible that nobody could actually describe it in concrete terms, the G-20 leaders decided to toss money around to shore up demand for goods and services. Hundreds of billions of dollars have been used to spur demand for everything from highways to cars and from home insulation to iPod docking stations, all because the global economy was apparently about to collapse.
What amuses me the most about the G-20 spending frenzy is that the leaders don't appear to see the irony in warning us one day that the planet is about to boil because of human industrial activity and then the next, pledging to spend billions to…well…support the growth human industrial activity.
It is also curious that only a small fraction of the billions spent by G-20 governments have any environmental or save the planet value. Additionally, if they truly believed their own rants about global warming then shouldn't they have allowed the global economy contract? (because we know that would really cut CO2 emissions, it already has)
Okay enough with thinking logically, let's get back to reality. Thanks to all the economic stimulus money being tossed around the global economy seems to have bottomed out for now and several major economies appear to be getting back to GDP growth again. Japan is back into the black, the U.S. economy seems to be getting off the floor, Chinese economic activity is still surging ahead (for now anyway) and in Australia it was a case of "no worries mate". (maybe)
Clearly economic activity is on the rise. One of the more reliable economic indicators around – the Baltic Dry Index, has now moved past the 4000 and is reaching towards levels last seen just before the Lehman Brothers debacle. So if we put aside our opinions and just stck to the facts, it is quite obvious that the global economy is no longer heading backwards and appears to be crawling out of a hole…for now.
But that is all the hard data suggests, and it is hardly surprising that we are seeing economic activity nudging upwards since the massive amounts of money being pumped into the various G-20 economics is meant to do just that. Was it really possible for this not to happen?
In truth, all that the G-20 leaders and central bankers have done is react to a situation they never saw coming in the first place. It is a bit like looking in your rear vision mirror and spotting Godzilla chasing your car. Needless to say you would most likely hit the accelerator and go as fast as you could, sure you may lose control of the vehicle and crash, but at the time it seemed like the only thing to do.
Of course Godzilla may have actually been intending to run harmlessly past, or perhaps if you drove your car into the bushes and hid the big fella would have been unable to find you. But because you never tried those things you simply assume as you speed towards an uncertain future, that you have made the right decision.
We are now in the economic equivalent of that Godzilla evading car, let's just hope we don't crash! (and are we sure we even really saw Godzilla in the first place?)
Economic cycles are one of the characteristics of a free market capitalist system. Most of us in our own little way help to create them. Our desire to be be financially secure and enjoy life help create economic bubbles. Our fear when things turn pear shaped help cause recessions and send stock markets plunging. Few of us are innocent spectators at the global economic circus, most of us are actually quite willing to join in or even be one of the star performers if we got half the chance!
There are many downsides to the free market system, but I don't see a lot of people heading to the hills to grow their own vegetables and live in shelters made from animal skins. Actually the traffic has been overwhelmingly in the other direction for many thousands of years.
Therefore I am not going to factor into my view of where we are in this mess any Kumbaya-like notions that significant changes will be made to the capitalist system.
At the moment there are no clear and certain trends. Yes the BDI is up, but oil demand remains stubbornly low. Gold prices are rising strong in U.S. dollars, but gold demand for jewellery in Asia has fallen significantly. Every time I think the glass is half full I look again, and it appears half empty. We are still in what I described a while back as the Economic Twilight Zone.
So my big picture view of the current economic situation is that the global economy has simply bounced off a cyclical bottom aided by the economic stimulus actions taken by G-20 nations. However this is not to say that the global economy would have not bottomed out on it's own anyway, nor does any data illustrate to me that what the G-20 nations have done will be successful over the longer term.
But what do you think?
Finally let me leave you with some words of wisdom(?) from Donald Rumsfeld. (former U.S. Secretary of Defense) I think it sort of sums up well what we know about the state of the global economy at the moment.
"There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know."
Clear as mud!

Sydney, Australia (PressExposure) November 16, 2009 -- The MW9114ST microwaveâs steam cook function offers a whole host of cooking benefits, including working efficiently so your food only absorbs the moisture it requires to cook while retaining vital vitamins, nutrients, flavour, colour and texture.
Choose from five auto steam cook options depending on your culinary preference, this latest model is also supported by Samsungâs unique Triple Distribution System (TDS) technology. By spreading microwaves wider and more consistently across food, the new 32L capacity microwave makes sure food is cooked evenly and thoroughly producing a ready to eat dish.
Gone are the days of working out cooking time for the weight and quantity of your food. The MW9114ST has an in built humidity sensor that does the work for you. The sensor detects humidity in the microwave and adjusts the overall cooking time automatically so that food is cooked or warmed to the optimum temperature.
An auto defrost function has also been designed to thaw food quickly and easily. Simply by setting the weight of the food and choosing one of the five auto defrost settings, the microwave will automatically set the defrosting time, power level and standing time to deliver the results youâre looking for.
âSteam cooking is becoming an increasingly popular method of cooking due to its health benefits,â said Kalina Murgovski, Samsung Product Manager, White Goods. âBy combining automated steam cooking in a microwave, the MW9114ST accommodates the needs of time poor consumers who want to cook quickly but also to retain the taste and goodness of their food.â
Also launching in October 2009 is the Samsung MW9114W microwave which features an in built humidity sensor, TDS technology and an auto cook and auto defrost menu. Both the white MW9114W and the stainless steel MW9114ST microwave ovens are available at all leading Australian electrical retailers for RRP $199 and RRP $259 respectively.

[quote][url=http://www.bungie.net/fanclub/amee/Group/GroupHome.aspx][u][b][i]Join AMEE Now![/i][/b][/u][/url][/quote] As many of you know Bungie has been good at hiding easter eggs and it is rumored that there are still more out there. Many people try to find clues in all places to find it and many believe there is an easter egg hidden within the armory. As many others have, I believed that Bungie left a clue, something obvious that we are just missing. Well i think i got it. Has anyone even thought to consider this... Every time you go to change your armor or download a file or look at challenges theres one thing that shows up as soon as you press start, the armory. Well has anyone noticed the picture just before entering the armory of a Spartan wearing these armory pieces: [quote][url=http://www.bungie.net/stats/reach/playermodel.ashx?rpis=UB2InVu9rjLhWCbbLd7sUg==][b]Full Armor As Of Now.[/b][/url] -Helmet: [url=http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101020182428/halo/images/f/f4/JFO-HUL-I.png][b]JFO(HUL-1)[/b][/url] -Left Shoulder: [url=http://thehaloreachguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Eva-Right.jpg][b]EVA[/b][/url] -Right Shoulder: [url=http://www.halopedian.com/images/0/04/Commando_shoulder.jpg][b]Commando[/b][/url] -Chest: [url=http://thehaloreachguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Collar-Breacher.jpg][b]Collar/Breacher[/b][/url] -Wrist: [url=http://images.wikia.com/halo/images/b/ba/Halo_reach_wrist_armor_tactical_tacpad_(1).jpg][b]Tactical/TACPAD[/b][/url] -Utility: [url=http://thehaloreachguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Tactical-Trauma-Kit.jpg][b]Tactical/Trauma Kit[/b][/url] -Visor Color: [url=http://www.halopedian.com/images/thumb/8/83/Halo_reach_visor_color_silver-1-.jpg/120px-Halo_reach_visor_color_silver-1-.jpg][b]Silver[/b][/url] -Knee Guards: [url=http://www.hungergamestrilogy.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Unknown-Person1.jpg][b]Unknown[/b][/url] -Armor Effect: [url=http://www.hungergamestrilogy.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Unknown-Person1.jpg][b]Unknown (Not Available)[/b][/url] -Firefight Voice: [url=http://www.hungergamestrilogy.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Unknown-Person1.jpg][b]Unknown (Not Available)[/b][/url] -Primary Color: [url=http://www.wholesale-fabric-discount-store.com/images/Whiskey_Brown_Vinyl_Fabric.jpg][b]Brown[/b][/url] -Secondary Color: [url=http://www.art-paints.com/Paints/Pastel/Sennelier/Soft/Coral/Coral.gif][b]Coral[/b][/url] -Elite Armor: [url=http://halo3blogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Untitled28.jpg][b]Ranger[/b][/url] [/quote] [quote][b][u]Use the Armory Man as your main Spartan Armor!

Please Discuss and add any other ideas. [quote][url=http://empty][u]Edit 1:[/u][/url] It turns out this might be the spartan shown when a new season of the arena releases so lets try to see if it gives us a bigger/better picture of the armory man * I have bought the JFO Helmet and have gotten my spartan close to the actual thing I am just missing Commando Right Shoulder and the helmet HUL[/quote] [quote][url=http://empty][u]Edit 2:[/u][/url] - I have confirmed that the colors are steel and coral as, if you put those colors on then switch to a ranger elite check out the player tab it will be exactly the same color and looks the same. * It may not be Steel, I have reviewed and it seems brown also looks the same in both the Spartan and Elite armor. Everyone start comparing the colors and try to find the right one So they are linked, lets find the rest of the armor. If anyone hd tv maybe you can see the picture clearer and look under the words armory to find the wrist and utility and knees[/quote] [quote][url=http://empty][u]Edit 3:[/u][/url] First possible major breakthrough: I have a theory that if you play through the campaign on heroic (the way Halo is meant to be played) with certain skulls on (maybe just the iwhbyd as it was the "big one" in Halo 3) as each member of Noble team in order of each members number, Noble 6 being all default, and then add another playthrough as "Noble 7" (the mystery Spartan in the menu picture) with his armor, that something big will unlock. 7 playthoughs as 7 different Noble members to unlock the ultimate easter egg. Lets work together to keep finding clues.[/quote] [quote][url=http://empty][u]Edit 4:[/u][/url] Well I am have a new theory (well its really just adding on to the previous edit). As you may have noticed Bungie has stressed that "Noble Actual" is a complete campaign mission in itself (stating that "Noble Actual" is he first level of the game), but why? They could have easily made it the opening cutscene to the level "Winter Contingency", as they have done with previous games, but instead they made it a campaign level. * On a related note, isn't the famous "Noble 7" figurine, Noble Actual (D. Holland)? I believe it is so here is what i propose: If we play "Noble Actual" as Noble Actual, and play throughout the rest of the Campaign as Noble 6 (The Armory Man), and then in the missions in which a Noble member dies you play as that Noble (I know that 2 Nobles died in the mission "Pillar of Autumn" but so maybe paying in co-op, player 1 as Carter and player 2 as Emile), and then maybe after that playthrough (on Heroic) we can unlock actual(un-intended pun) gameplay in the mission "Noble Acual". Lets get the exact armor that Noble Actual has.[/quote] [quote][url=http://empty][u]Edit 5:[/u][/url] [u]Campaign:[/u] I was recently (just minutes ago), playing Winter Contingency on Legendary with Mythic, IWHBYD, and Grunt Birthday Party on. There wereent any problems during the game except some lags and I saw my first bob (but i missed it with my truck my friend killed it), and at the end of the game, the screen faded but then something happened, Suddenly a blue screen appeared with a blue circle in the center. Now it looked kind of like when an iPod Touch is cracked on the inside but somehow different. I do not really know how to explain it. Anyways, It was weird and the page stayed like that fo a few seconds and then went back to normal. At first I thought my xbox had somehow broken but then my friends said they also saw it. During the playthrough we basically rushed through it killing only a handful of covenant and beating the level in only 16:42. I think it may be connected to the easter egg, maybe when i rushed through some type of "lock" (like a disc lock that flaming head/recon had?) wasnt able to load therefore creating a lag that opened that blue screen at the end of the game. In my opinion this proves something is hidden in the campign that we cant see yet. *I am currently reviewing the game video to see if I can see the screen again in the video but I highly doubt it. [u]Firefight:[/u] Nothing major but I noticed, as I was playing firefight on Unearthed, that when the bonus round started after the time ran out the game went on, I also noticed, after being overun by elites with snipers, spartan lasers, and fuel rods (I died Kat style lol needle to the head), that you can go into free view mode like in theathre while the game is still going on. If I'm not mistaken this is new in Unearthed (I do not really play Firefight that much) so maybe it is there so we can look around and find something, a minor easter egg or a clue to something bigger. Either way just in case it is of any use, I was playing on Firefight Arcade.[/quote] * I just finished checking the video and the blue screen does show up! I uploaded the picture and video onto my file share. * Here is the screenshot: [url=http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=15915377&player=darthrevan96]Weird Blue Screen[/url] [url=http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=15915376&player=darthrevan96]Weird Blue Screen 2[/url] Also the video: [url=http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=15915381&player=darthrevan96]Full Game Video (its at the very last few seconds)[/url] [quote][url=http://empty][u]Edit 6:[/u][/url] I found something interesting while playing in campaign co-op just now It is a simple way to be able to play/walk around the area in which the scientist is found dead (the area where you are attacked by Elite Zealots), it is very simple. It has to be in co op with at least 2 players. Once you are in that small room just before you find the dead body go to the wall at the end, theres a fence there. Get your friend to stand on the wall then simply hop on him and then crouch hop over the fence and you can go anywhere except directly up to the scientists dead body. If you want to get your friend over just get both of you up to the wall and (the person in the area) melee your friend to death, from there he will spawn in with you. Maybe we can do this in several areas in the game and find hints, clues, easter eggs. Lets do our best to search all corners of Reach. I think we should be more concerned with the mission New Alexandria as it is the biggest map ever made by Bungie[/quote] [Edited on 04.17.2011 9:57 PM PDT]

Interesting post. I hope you find something!
It's not an Easter egg you idiots.

I think there is nothin anywhere and bungie just enjoys watchin us squirm and scratch our heads
Hackers cant find legendary ending because they are just scripted scenes from the actual game, hope it helps.
I'm guessing for firefight voice, you would need Noble 6, because that's who you are trying to replicate.
Keep this Alive... Took a bit of a recess for a while but the search is still going!

A FORMER heroin-dealing granny who stashed bags of drugs down her bra has been spared jail after becoming clean.
Antoinette Heap (49), an addict for 20 years, had a £200-a-week habit she could not afford on her fortnightly £120 benefits, so she bought heroin in bulk and had sold to known users to pay for her own supply. Burnley Crown Court had earlier heard treatment for her hepatitis B condition meant she could not take painkillers, and she had taken heroin to give her relief.
Judge Jonathan Gibson had given Heap five months to prove she was fighting addiction and keep out of trouble. A mother of two, she had already served three years in jail.
The court was told she was now drug-free and no longer needed to commit crime. He told her: "It seems to me you have complied with what I asked you to do when I deferred sentence."
Heap, of Pine Street, Burnley, had earlier admitted possessing heroin with intent to supply, possessing amphetamine and cocaine and had asked for an offence of possessing heroin with intent to supply to be considered. Judge Jonathan Gibson, who had deferred sentence in January, gave her 12 months in jail, suspended for 18 months and an 18-month conditional discharge. He also imposed a 10pm and 6am curfew for eight weeks.
The court had earlier been told that when Heap was arrested on suspicion of shoplifting, last November, police found 26 wraps of heroin, worth £260, in her clothes. A wrap of cocaine fell from her jumper and several bags were found in her bra. Traces of heroin were found on digital scales at her home, along with £120.
On Tuesday, the court was told how Heap had complied with the conditions of the deferred sentence – she had kept in touch with Inspire.
Mr Ken Hind (defending) said Heap had kept in touch with help and co-operated with drugs treatment from her GP and a health and wellbeing programme.
"Being drug-free, she no longer has to commit offences of dishonesty to feed her habit," said Mr Hind.
"Neither does she need to be involved in any drugs trafficking."

How can I get this achievement, I've been on slayer matches and got headshots all the way across the map (as far as possible) on the noble map pack and regular slayer matches. Why havent I gotten it yet?
You have to do it at a distance where when you scope in with your DMR, the reticule isn't red. The best way to do it is: 1. Play some BTB. MAKE SURE THE MAP YOU PLAY ON HAS SLAYER AS THE GAMETYPE OR THE ACHIEVEMENT WONT UNLOCK. 2. Pick up a sniper and a DMR (If you don't already have one) 3. Bodyshot an enemy that is at the correct distance (See above) and then use a DMR to clean up the kill with a headshot. Blip Bloop *Achievement Unlocked* :D:D Alternate method: Snipe a banshee a few times in a BTB slayer game and use a DMR at long distance and it should blow up and kill the pilot. [Edited on 12.06.2010 6:38 PM PST]
I got it on Power House!. I picked up theDMR at the start and got someone just after they picked up the Shot Gun
I got it on Hemorrhage, I believe. I simply killed a few dudes and managed to get it without knowing.
Mine was just lucky. I shoot the driver of a Revenant, he drives halfway across the map, then his teammate in the Wraith betrays him by accident but still counted as my kill.
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Legendary swipe How can I get this achievement, I've been on slayer matches and got headshots all the way across the map (as far as possible) on the noble map pack and regular slayer matches. Why havent I gotten it yet? [/quote] As far as im aware coz i had to do it twice make sure ur the only person to be shooting the person ur aiming for coz first time i did it my team mate shot at him too but the second time it was just me and try to make sure its a headshot or as close as to one im not sure if that makes a difference but who knows lol hope this helps if u still aint got after doing this then i aint got a clue.
for all those that have the achievement, would you happen to have the file share video or clip of it? i've killed ppl at extremely far distances and cannot seem to get this achievement
zoom in and have a white reticule still that's how you do it
Hemorrhage. From red teleporter destination to top of red base.
I was surprised...and VERY HAPPY!!! Guy standing behind badguy base, I got a few great shots in...and then POW!
got mine on breakout. not all the way across the map, but from the "garage" area above the rockets on the structure side to where the wraith spawns. you have to control your shots a lot more though. maybe best to get someone to snipe them to take their shields down first, then headshot them. btw, my friend got his by DMR-ing a guy who then fell off the map.
I got mine on Paradiso, I was by a teleporter shooting at a guy in the "middle base"
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CHARK19 Got mine on Hemorrage! [/quote] I thought it had to be on the new maps?
If i may say I got mine by shooting a guy 3 time across hemorage then his buddy ran him over *bleep bloop* cross mapping
i got mine on spire at the top and just shot down trying to get lucky
you have to b really like really far away. try breakpoint from the spine in the middle
My guess is all the way across breakpoint. that's gotta be far enough
Got mine on Hemorrage!
ya theres 10 new achievements when you got the map pack (its not advertised for some reason tho)
theres an achievment fur that?

SBJ/20080623/Countdown to Beijing
Web-based programs thrive for partners
Published June 23, 2008
Mary-Clare Brennan, a 12-year veteran at the U.S. Olympic Committee, was promoted to her current position as director, sponsorship activation and fulfillment, earlier this year. In that role, she is leading a new department that will support USOC corporate partners with business research, brand analysis and strategic advice. She recently spoke with staff writer Tripp Mickle about USOC partner activation in 2008.
What trends are you seeing among USOC partners who are activating ahead of the Beijing Games?
Brennan: Definitely the use of the Web. The modeling of programs from a user-generator content standpoint is common. Bank of America's America's Cheer site is one of the best examples. I do think that's a trend and a really exciting one.
Why is that occurring and what are the benefits of it?
Brennan: It's logical. Looking at the proliferation of sites like Facebook and MySpace, sponsors are following where consumers are going and where eyeballs are going. Only the data will show if it's effective, but from what I've seen, it's been very effective so far.
How do you advise sponsors to activate during an overseas Games?
Brennan: That's dependent on their objectives. If running a program like Bank of America does for our athletes, the Hometown Hopefuls, makes sense, then that is a great way for a domestic sponsor to leverage an offshore Games. But you'd never advise it if it doesn't make sense because that's a costly program.
Beyond objectives, what we always advise is that all key constituents are hit by a program, so that it's a really multifaceted program touching your consumer base, your B-to-B targets, your vendors and your board.
You mentioned the Bank of America program. Are there others that you all hold up as noteworthy examples of what a sponsor can do during an offshore Games?
Brennan: Anheuser-Busch has done a great one (with their Club Bud) but they've augmented it with Games rights. If you're talking about a domestic sponsor or supplier who may not have offshore rights, Kimberly Clark is doing a fabulous job with their "Let it Out" movie. Hilton with their Be Hospitable program is a great one.
What's the most successful case study you can point to and hold up to sponsors?
Brennan: They're all so different, to be honest. Some of the package programs, like Coke's and Budweiser's, are perennially successful. Use of the property for sales incentives is also perennially successful. (Former partner) John Hancock did one during the Lillehammer days, which makes it a little old to use as a case study now, but when you see the property used as a sales incentive it tends to be very successful.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta was known to be a Catholic nun and God's faithful servant who was called to help those who were in need, and dedicated her whole life caring for the neglected while spreading God's message. Although many people believed that her image was of perfect faith, there was an unseen other side of her that has been revealed after her death. Her story filled with life lessons will definitely serve as a guide to people who would like to follow her path of making the world a better place for all mankind.

The 21 cruise ships that carried 50,000 passengers into Santa Barbara in 2013 had a $2.4 million economic impact — $280,000 went directly to the city in the form of taxes and fees — based on a survey recently completed by Visit Santa Barbara. The study found that restaurants and shops benefited the most, collecting 30.5 percent and 29.2 percent of the $2.4 million, respectively. Many passengers arrived during "non-peak travel seasons," and of those surveyed, 41 percent are expected to return to Santa Barbara in the next two years.
