At some point, it becomes an empty cliché to state that Georgia's season is at a crossroads.
Today's visit to Colorado marks the fourth consecutive week the Bulldogs have been at a crossroads and they've failed in each of their previous three tests.
First came the chance to follow an impressive opening win with a solid showing in their Southeastern Conference debut. Thanks to lackluster offense and shoddy tackling, result: South Carolina 17, Georgia 6.
Then it was an opportunity to bounce back from a disappointing showing with a win against one of the conference's top offenses. Despite signs of life late in the game, result: Arkansas 31, Georgia 24.
Finally the Bulldogs earned some relief in the schedule. Opening conference play against South Carolina and Arkansas was tough, but surely the Bulldogs would right the ship against Mississippi State - one of the worst programs in SEC history and a team that hadn't defeated Georgia since 1974. Result: Mississippi State 24, Georgia 12.
So what should we expect from Mark Richt's Bulldogs today as they venture into the Rocky Mountains to face a Colorado program that has flat-out stunk during Dan Hawkins' tenure?
Despite some commentators' bad-mouthing to the contrary, there is a wide talent difference between the two teams that will take the field tonight in Boulder, just as there was last weekend in Starkville.
Talent was not the issue in that ridiculous loss. It was a matter of want-to.
The maroon Bulldogs wanted to win and the red-and-black Bulldogs looked like they'd rather be jumping off the high dive at the Ramsey Student Center.
If they are to get this season back on track, Georgia's players have to decide they want to be winners and play like they want to win.
No opponent on Georgia's schedule for the rest of this season - with the exception of rival Florida - will have more talent on its sideline.
All of the Bulldogs' future conference opponents are playing with a more consistent level of desire and clarity of purpose, however.
Maybe that's a coaching flaw within Richt's staff.
Maybe it's a question of leadership in the Bulldogs' locker room.
More than likely, it's a combination of the two.
So what should we expect from the Bulldogs for the rest of the season?
At this point, Georgia's preseason goals are already shot. Three-loss teams certainly don't win SEC East titles, much less conference or national crowns.
Are these players wired to be happy spoiling other teams' seasons - a role typically reserved for the Kentuckys, Vanderbilts and Mississippi States in this part of the world - or will they roll over and once again wait for next year?
Because, news flash, Georgia's program is no more than middle of the road in the SEC.
Many of us still think of Georgia as superior to that middling standing because of Richt's first five years in Athens, when the Bulldogs won the East three times and claimed two conference titles.
But since the Bulldogs' last SEC championship in 2005, they are 10-11 in division play.
Breaking it down further, they're 1-3 against both Florida and Tennessee, 2-2 against Kentucky, 3-2 against South Carolina and 3-1 against Vanderbilt.
That's a four-plus-season sample size - more than enough time to start drawing conclusions.
Think back over all the games in that time period and recall how many times Georgia didn't seem ready to play.
Sometimes they wobbled to wins and sometimes they were blown out by equal or lesser teams.
Rarely in that time period have they delivered a dominant effort from the opening whistle until the closing horn.
Blame that on coaching schemes or Richt and company's ability to motivate their team if you like. Those are certainly key elements of their job description, and for whatever reason, neither element has been executed with consistency in the last few years.
At some point, the blame falls on the players, as well. The most formidable competitors fight and kick and claw in order to win, simply because they hate losing that much.
Georgia's players might show that personality trait in spurts, but rarely for full games. Until that becomes the prevailing personality in their locker room again, their fans shouldn't expect them to win like their predecessors from Richt's early days at Georgia.

Photographer Eve Arnold is perhaps best known for the photos she took of Marilyn Monroe. From 1951 onwards, Arnold photographed Marilyn many times, and amongst those photos are the famous images of Marilyn reading James Joyce's "Ulysses", a novel that has often been labelled unreadable.
|Marilyn Monroe photographed by Eve Arden, Long Island, New York, 1955
Richard Brown, a Professor of Modern Literature at the University of Leeds with a special interest in James Joyce, was intrigued by Eve Arnold's photos of Marilyn. Curious to know if Marilyn was indeed reading Joyce's novel or if she was merely posing for the photo, Brown wrote Arnold a letter, which she replied on 20 July 1993. Unfortunately, I don't have Arnold's complete letter to show you, just a fragment (and it's not an original image either). In any case, the excerpt from Arnold's letter is interesting as she was telling Brown exactly what he wanted to know:
Via: zuihitsu
Excerpt taken from Richard Brown's essay "Marilyn Monroe Reading Ulysses: Goddess or Postcultural Cyborg?".
We worked on a beach on Long Island. She was visiting Norman Rosten the poet. As far as I remember (it is some thirty years ago) I asked her what she was reading when I went to pick her up (I was trying to get an idea of how she spent her time). She said she kept Ulysses in her car and had been reading it for a long time. She said she loved the sound of it and would read it aloud to herself to try to make sense of it- but she found it hard going. She couldn't read it consecutively. When we stopped at a local playground to photograph she got out the book and started to read while I loaded the film. So, of course, I photographed her. It was always a collaborative effort of photographer and subject where she was concerned- but almost more her input.

Kevin and Ally successfully return from Dead Eyes' wedding with plenty of stories to behold. For example, it seems that Ally's girlfriend Katie may or may not have committed some form of cheating in the middle of the celebration and apparently Kevin got a very close look at what a lesbian relationship is really like, warts and all. No where near as fun as his favorite internet videos make it look.
Also, some new statistics came out revealing that kinky sexual acts are far more common amongst the rest of the world than what psychologists have previously thought to be the case. With that in mind, Kevin read off a list of some rather common kinky sexual habits that listeners then had to guess which act Useless Weirdo said he was the most into. Based on the guesses from listeners, the audience certainly assumes Useless Weirdo is one kinky freak.

Understanding International Trade and Financial Markets is Key for Globalization
March 12, 2015
The rapid financial globalization of the past 30 years poses many challenges to policymakers in the United States and around the globe. When making decisions at home, they can no longer ignore changes abroad. Policymakers must better understand the interaction among domestic and foreign economies through international trade and financial markets as they seek to maximize their nation's welfare.
International trade growth varies substantially the more a nation's total output grows over time. However, standard models substantially underestimate a foreign country's influence through international trade on a domestic economy and may provide misleading policy suggestions.
The exchange rate is a focal point of international economic activities. Exchange rate fluctuations alter the relative prices of goods and services between countries and therefore substantially affect international trade. Aggregate price levels are an important channel through which the exchange rate affects the real economy.
Besides international trade, the exchange rate plays an important role in international financial markets. Studies show that if the central bank takes a strong stance on inflation, exchange rate stabilization can improve welfare by fine-tuning interest rates to alleviate international price distortions caused by noisy exchange rate movements and sticky prices. For countries that do not appropriately anchor inflation, stabilizing the exchange rate through monetary policy will substantially increase macro instability and reduce overall welfare.
Following the 2008 financial crisis, the Federal Reserve instituted several rounds of QE to stabilize the financial markets and aid U.S. economic recovery. QE policy in the United States inevitably spilled over to other countries through exchange rates and interest rates. The central banks in other countries should continue to focus on inflation stabilization and let exchange rates run their course. Unfortunately, policymakers could not restrain themselves from loosening monetary policy to stabilize their currency's value. As a result, countries focusing more on exchange rate stabilization during this period suffered higher inflation and less-stable domestic macroeconomic conditions.

text: Last played: Sea Eagles v Titans Sun 21 Jul, 2013, 6:00amNRL.com Tweet Email Print A determined Gold Coast outfit upset their more fancied rivals 16-14 in an impressive all-round performance at Skilled Park in Round 3 this year.In a desperately tight opening half, a Titans penalty goal was the only score but the home side burst out of the blocks immediately after the break as Ryan James showed tremendous strength to barge his way over for his first NRL try. Five minutes later it was 14-0 when an Albert Kelly grubber was fumbled by Jorge Taufua and David Mead was on hand to dive on the scraps.The Sea Eagles weren't done, though.Taufua made amends for his earlier error when he was on the end of quick hands to post Manly's first points. Tom Symonds then charged onto a Daly Cherry-Evans short ball to make it 14-8 and when Taufua won the race to a Steve Matai kick with eight minutes remaining, Jamie Lyon's sideline conversion had scores level and the visitors with all the momentum.But that all changed when a Cherry-Evans drop-out sailed over the sideline on the full, handing the Gold Coast a penalty in front which Aidan Sezer piloted home for the win.The Titans produced 41 more hit-ups than Manly thanks to 56 per cent possession and completed 30 of 37 sets compared with just 21 of 33 by the Sea Eagles.The Gold Coast's big names all stood tall with Nate Myles running for 155 metres and making 38 tackles and Greg Bird and Luke Bailey making 141 and 148 metres respectively.Steve Matai produced five tackle-breaks and a try assist to go with his 155 metres.

Dahlia Lithwick is apparently practicing how to channel Maureen Dowd. Oh, wait. Is Maureen Dowd still living? Can you channel a living person? Anyway, in the Lithwick universe where 9/11 changed nothing but the excuses for opposing a Republican president, we now have her very Dowdy view of what life would have been like if it had never happened. Are we supposed to take seriously her casual assertion that the president would have appointed Roy Moore chief justice?
But even a fool can prompt a serious thought, however inadvertently. Lithwick seems to think that Bush has managed to greatly expand the powers of the presidency these last five years, held barely in check only by the bravely written prose of Justice O'Connor, who said that "a state of war isn't a blank check for the president." The reverse is more nearly the case.
A few months ago I was part of a small conference of scholars from several disciplines—law, political science, history, even literature—who were reading and discussing the debate over presidential power that occurred in 1793 between Alexander Hamilton and James Madison (the "Pacificus-Helvidius" debate prompted by George Washington's Neutrality Proclamation, if you're that interested). At one point Madison remarks: "War is in fact the true nurse of executive aggrandizement." I said, and got a good deal of incredulity in response for saying, that I thought Madison had it wrong, at least as a prediction for the future course of American history—that in fact most of our wars have had the effect of putting executive power under siege. Certainly this is the case in the modern age, at least since Korea, and it may be the pattern throughout our history.
One thing is certain: George Bush has had to contend with invasions of his proper constitutional authority as president—chiefly on the part of the judiciary—that would not have happened in a peacetime America. And commentators like Dahlia Lithwick cheer from the sidelines as the judges usurp presidential authority.

WEA Secretary General Speaks on Gospel and Religious Extremism at Conference in Bethlehem, Calls for Recognition of Evangelicals in the Holy Land
World Evangelical Alliance (WEA) Secretary General Bishop Efraim Tendero spoke on 'the Gospel and Religious Extremism' at the fourth Christ at the Checkpoint conference in Bethlehem, calling for religious and political leaders to move away from exclusive territorial claims and instead commit to dialogue on common issues. He also met with government representatives and renewed WEA's call for official recognition of evangelical churches by the state of Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
Delivering the key note address at the opening of the conference, Bishop Tendero spoke about common misconceptions about religious extremism, Biblical perspectives that counter religious extremism and religious nationalism, and WEA's continued efforts for peace and reconciliation among people of different faith traditions.

Peter Mondavi Turns 99
Vintner Peter Mondavi can be found behind his office desk at the Charles Krug Winery Monday through Friday, even some weekends, rain or shine.
Most working stiffs would say that's no big deal. But they may not know that the wine family patriarch celebrated his 99th birthday two weeks ago and will be honored by family and friends at a big celebration at his family's St. Helena winery Saturday night.
Mondavi, with sons Marc and Peter Jr., oversees one of the county's oldest winemaking operations, one that sends 1.7 million cases of wine to the marketplace every year.
Although his entire business career has focused on wine, Mondavi had other thoughts when he was a young teen "fooling around with model airplanes. … I considered for a time becoming an aeronautical engineer."

text: Lets be real, everyone saying that when a white kid is killed by a black man they don't claim racism, is because u see blacks as violent anyway. A black man killing anyone is normal behavior to you. Is it wrong that the Lion case didn't get as much attention, yes. Both were tragic in zimmernans case he was told not to pursue and so the beaten he took was his fault, and yes he is guilty. Black people are going to continue to pull the racism card because they have been ridiculed for their skin color since slavery. Maybe whites should pull the racism card because there is racism on both sides. Bottom line is there shouldnt be a debate on which case deserved more attention, the debate should be on how to gain justice on both sides, equality is what we need to seek, because america never has been and pretty much never will be equal at the rate we are going.

There is a lot on this site that might seem to be confusing or inconsistent. Not unlike the fact that there is a lot in this world that feels and is confusing or inconsistent.
How to define WILBy? As I change, what I care about changes. WILBy is an acknowledgment that the real constant is caring and knowing that my choices and life matter. WILBy is about being able to find an answer to the question What Do I Live By in each decision in each moment and the acceptance that those answers change.
What I live by? Sometimes I feel really passionate about the environment and taking care of the earth and I want all my choices to reflect that caring. Sometimes I feel really moved to address human suffering be it labor abuse or human trafficking or the way we are unkind to ourselves. Sometimes I really care saving money and make decisions where I don't get anxious about my own security and sometimes money feels irrelevant and I want to live in a moment that is not constrained by anything.
The WILBy symbol is meaningless outside of the meaning that is given to it by you. You can use it to remind yourself to breath when you walk into a store. You can use it to invite conversations with strangers. You can use it to spruce up an old bag or shirt. Buy the WILBy MADE IN USA bag that supports local jobs and the US economy. Buy from the WILBy Shop from Real [Ethical] Sweatshops to support artisans in other countries. Buy a WILBy Factory bag and remind yourself to be mindful of your budget.
You define WILBy in each purchase, each conversation, each action because you can, because you are important and make a difference with everything you do. When you care, and apply your caring to the things you buy, say, do, you can change the world to be what makes you tre.
Let's discuss:

The pTargeT™ Mammalian Expression Vector System is a convenient system for cloning PCR products and for expressing cloned PCR products in mammalian cells. The vector is prepared by digestion with EcoRV followed by addition of a 3´ terminal thymidine to each end. These single 3´-T overhangs at the insertion site greatly improve the efficiency of ligation of a PCR product into the plasmid in two ways. First, the overhangs prevent recircularization of the vector; second, they provide a compatible overhang for PCR products generated by thermostable polymerases that add a single deoxyadenosine, in a template-independent fashion, to the 3´-ends of amplified fragments. The pTargeT™ Vector also contains a modified coding sequence of the α-peptide of β-galactosidase, which allows recombinants to be selected using blue/white screening.
The pTargeT™ Mammalian Expression Vector System includes JM109 High Efficiency Competent Cells for transformation of ligation reactions. Recombinant clones can be efficiently selected using Blue/White Screening on indicator plates. The insert DNA can easily be removed for sub-cloning using an EcoRI single digest.
The pTargeT™ Vector uses the human cytomegalovirus (CMV) immediate-early enhancer/promoter region to promote strong, constitutive expression of cloned DNA inserts in mammalian cells. In transgenic mice, expression of the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene under the regulation of the CMV enhancer/promoter was observed in 24 of the 28 tissues examined. The vector is maintained as an episome in cells expressing the SV40 large T antigen, leading to even higher levels of expression.

USD/CHF seems to be nicely placed and setting up for an extended rise with the long term upward trend. The traders will look to buy USD/CHF for something around 0.9180 level and if the retracement is extended, then the next level to enter again and to average out both position can be seen something around 0.9065 level. The initial profit target level can be seen around 0.9300 level and in case the market seems to be getting momentum, the traders might look to extend their profit targets towards 0.9435 level.
Looking at the moving averages used in the daily charts, USD/CHF has managed to break above all the three moving averages and is fair to say that USDCHF is all setup for an upward extended move. The first entry level can be seen around 0.9230 level where short term moving average is present and if the retracement is extended below 0.9230 level, it will next look set 0.9064 level around which the long term moving average is present. The RSI is just above 58 in daily charts and seems to have more than enough space to make an extended upward move and traders will look to use trailing stop to maximize the profits.

text: Maybe this is why they call it 'Osage Orange' aka 'Hedge'? Just settling down into a nice 700ºF cruise to warm the house up for the evening. Thought the burn tubes looked nice and pretty orange, so I snapped a photo. The pic really doesn't do justice to actually being here and feeling the warm heat 'shining' practically through your body, but thought you might enjoy anyway. You can always turn your stove burner on high, wait till it is glowing orange and hold your face about a foot away to get a similar effect! If you squint closely, you can see burn tubes #1 and #2 (labeled on right hand side) are glowing, but the air holes are darker than the tube. These are the back two tubes and mainly heated on the front. By contrast, tubes #3 and #4 are in the front of the firebox, they get heat from the main fire rushing forward and of course, the secondary fire flaring out of tubes #1 and #2. You can see the air holes in these tubes are actually brighter than the front surface...you're looking 'into' the tube an seeing the firey orange glow of the back wall. The flames are translucent blue-purple with white tips. (sorry about the black blobs...a little bit of ash has flown up and is clinging to the glass!)

Russia intends to raise extraction taxes and customs duties on natural gas, Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin said Thursday in a move that could drastically impact the price paid on energy by Ukraine.
Kudrin told a government meeting that the hike was aimed at raising 150 billion rubles ($5.5 billion) next year as Russia moves to erase a budget deficit that reached 4.1 percent of gross domestic product last year.
The Kommersant business daily quoted a government position paper as saying the higher customs duties would be applied to "specific foreign countries" and lead to a 30 percent jump in the price paid by Ukraine.
Russia's western neighbour has had trouble meeting past energy payments and a pricing dispute resulted in a temporary halt in deliveries at the end of 2008 that led to brief disruption in supplies to some European countries.
Kudrin's announcement follows a government decision to revoke extraction tax exemption from several fields operated by Russia's largest oil companies.
Kommersant said the higher taxes proposal was being bitterly opposed by Russia's natural gas monopoly Gazprom and Igor Sechin -- the powerful deputy prime minister who oversees the energy sector.
But both Sechin and Gazprom supported the idea of raising customs duties since this would in no way affect the company's profits, Kommersant said.
Kudrin said the government was currently deciding the precise rates by which the taxes and export duties would be raised.
Ukraine currently pays no customs duties on Russian gas under a 2010 agreement that is due to expire in 2019.
But Russia is now in the process of completing a new customs union with Belarus and Kazakstan, and officials have hinted that Ukraine's failure to join could added $8 billion to its annual energy costs.
Ukraine has insisted that it will pursue long-term plans to join the European Union, noting that it had no immediate plans to join the Russia-led pact.

I only really started and finished this dress on the last day of April! So I pushed it out in 5 hours. Have a little bit of altering to do as it turns out to be a little big for me. Think I was too generous with my seam line.
But huzzah! Have now been doing this project for 3 years! This is my 36th dress!
Every time I look at this material I think of mistletoe leaves!
The sleeves are a bit more retro than I thought they'd be, but nevertheless I think this is a classy dress just in time to style with winter layers.

Almeida offered to English suitors
By Peter ORourke
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Hugo Almeida could be set for a loan move to England in the transfer window.Porto striker Hugo Almeida could be set for a loan move to England in the transfer window.
Almeida is well down the pecking order at the UEFA Champions League holders and they are willing to loan him out.
Porto have enlisted the help of Almeida's representative to help find him a move.
Almeida could be set for a move to England, with a number of clubs believed to have enquired about taking the 20-year-old on loan for the rest of the season.
Crystal Palace and Bolton are both thought to be leading the chase to bring the Portuguese international to The Premiership.
Bolton are on the lookout for a new striker, having lost Kevin Davies to injury and seen Les Ferdinand leave.
Palace are also in the market for a forward as they look to ease the burden on top scorer Andy Johnson and they could be keen on taking Almeida on loan.
Any move looks difficult as Porto only want to let him go to a club where he will get regular first team action and the English teams are insisting on having an option to buy him if he impresses while on loan, which Porto do not want to do.
If the offers from England do not suit Porto they could decide to loan him out to Braga so he can get valuable first team action.

Aquascutum is a UK-based luxury clothing manufacturer and retailer.
Company history
Aquascutum was established in 1851, the year of the Great Exhibition, when tailor and entrepreneur John Emary opened a high quality menswear shop at 46 Regent Street. In 1853, after succeeding in producing the first waterproof wool, he had his discovery patented and renamed the company 'Aquascutum', Latin for 'watershield'. In 1901, Emary moved to 100 Regent Street in the heart of London. In September 2011, Austin Reed had moved into that location at 100 Regent Street after it was announced that Aquascutum was in trouble.
Coats for officers in the Crimean War (1853–1856) were made from Aquascutum's waterproof fabric, as were the trench coats worn by soldiers of all ranks in both world wars.
Domestic and fashion applications followed, promoted in the nineteenth century by royal fashion leader King Edward VII. His majesty was Aquascutum's first royal client, ordering an Aquascutum coat in the Prince of Wales check. In 1897, Aquascutum was granted a royal warrant, the first that would mark the British royal family's long patronage of the company.
In 1900, Aquascutum opened a womenswear department, offering water-repellent capes and coats, which were extremely popular among British suffragettes.
The company has created additional fabrics and coats using similar names, such as the Eiderscutum light overcoat and (in 1962) the multicoloured wool-yarn weave, Aquaspectrum.
The company has supplied aristocrats, political leaders, and actors, including three Princes of Wales, Prince Rainier of Monaco, Sir Winston Churchill, Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Sophia Loren, Cary Grant, and Michael Caine.
During the 1980s and 1990s, Kingsley Matheson Pink, Managing Director of the Regent Street flagship store, dressed UK prime minister Baroness Thatcher. Unknown to Matheson Pink, this included her historic visit to the USSR, which included everything from coats and tailored suits to dresses and evening wear.
He was additionally subsequently responsible for dressing Prime Minister Sir John Major, as well as a number of additional international dignitaries including the King of Malaysia.
Aquascutum was family owned until 1990, when it was purchased by Japanese textile conglomerate company Renown Incorporated, and, then, by Jaeger in September 2009. It is now the property of YGM Trading, a Chinese fashion retailer, after April 2012.
Current day operations
In 2005, Renown was the Aquascutum ready-to-wear licence holder in Japan with retail value of €50 million.
In April 2006, Aquascutum appointed Kim Winser as president and chief executive officer. Winser is a veteran of the British apparel industry, having worked for Marks & Spencer and Pringle of Scotland. The current heads of design are Michael Herz and Graeme Fidler, who won numerous awards including GQ style awards.
The brand, famous for its suiting range, recently modelled by Pierce Brosnan and Brett Anderson, additionally offers tailoring by Savile Row tailor Nick Hart. Gisele Bündchen and Jamie Dornan modelled Aquascutum Collection designs and vintage pieces. Homeland star Damian Lewis was used for their Autumn Winter 2014 collection.
In 2008, Renown announced that it would sell Aquascutum, after the parent company experienced three straight years of losses. In May 2009, Renown rejected a corporate buyout bid led by Kim Winser. After the bid was rejected, Winser left Aquascutum. Renown continued acquisition talks with Chinese clothing retailer YGM Trading, which held licences to sell Aquascutum clothes in Asia - the brand's biggest market.
In September 2009, the management team behind the revival of retailer Jaeger, Harold Tillman and Belinda Earl, bought the company. Notwithstanding on 17 April 2012, the Financial Times published an article citing sources "familiar with the company's plans" stating that the company would shortly go into administration with the potential loss of up to 250 jobs.
In April 2012, the company went into bankruptcy administration. FRP Advisory were chosen to act as the administrators. Shortly after Aquascutum's Asia licensee, YGM Trading, acquired the company for £15 million.
In 2013, the Aquascutum factory was again put up for sale, and has been purchased by a British owner. The original factory has been renamed The Clothing Works.

Fiercely competitive, Lardarius Webb has no intentions of taking a backseat in the Baltimore Ravens' secondary.
"I'm ready to start," Webb said on Saturday at Derrick Mason's youth football camp. "I'm ready to be the starting cornerback."
After playing a reserve role last season one year removed from tearing his anterior cruciate ligament, Webb said he's fully healthy.
And he's unconcerned about the arrival of first-round cornerback Jimmy Smith having a negative effect on his status.
"I don't want to hear about it," Webb said. "I hear it too much. People act like it affects me. I don't care who the Ravens draft. They always bring up his name around me. I'm going to play no matter who it is. I just want to be healthy so I can show them who Webb is."
As for the pending free agency of starting cornerbacks Chris Carr and Josh Wilson, Webb said: "That don't affect me. That's their business."
Webb said he enjoys talking with young football players.

Datsun is back!
People of India, Indonesia and Russia, we bring you some news: Datsun is back!
People of the UK, we bring you some more news: it probably won't make a return to Blighty!
Nissan's CEO Carlos Ghosn today made a speech in Indonesia where he revealed the news that the Japanese car brand - Datsun! - would be revived for "up and coming customers in high-growth markets", providing a "sustainable motoring experience". For that, simply read: budget motors.
It will form the third of Nissan's global brands, alongside Infiniti and, erm, Nissan, with production in India, Indonesia and China starting in 2014. It's like Renault's sub-brand Dacia, who of course, produce one of May's favoured cars.
"Nissan is bringing new jobs and new vehicles to Indonesia", Mr Ghosn said. But before you get waves of nausea about a new army of Sunnys and ungainly Bluebirds and old Cherrys, remember they rolled out some good 'uns too.
The company collaborated with Pininfarina in the early 1960s to produce the 410 (ok, still a Bluebird), and it also built the 240Z - a car that helped the brand's presence in America and sold by the bucketload. And don't forget the Datsun/Nissan Silvia would morph into one of the best drift machines on Earth as the 200SX.
And yet, and yet… Datsun. It's been over 30 years since the name appeared as a standalone before it was swallowed by the Nissan mothership (reportedly because Nissan then wanted a single global name to increase its presence). Are you ready to see it return?

What could this mean for the rest of the BBC?
British Twitter is in uproar after the BBC announced plans to mothball its archive of 11,000 free recipes as part of a government-imposed budget cut.
While the smaller, commercial site BBC Good Food will remain active, the general BBC Food archive will be taken down as part of a £15 million ($21.7 million) cut to the BBC's online budget. This shakeup also includes controversial changes such as removing the website and app for Newsbeat, the BBC's youth-oriented news service, closing the Travel site, and cancelling funding for online-only programming on the BBC's iPlayer service.
As many people have pointed out on social media, BBC Food is freely available for anyone to use, but it was paid for by the British public. It's a public resource, and people aren't happy to see it go.
One of the more puzzling aspects of BBC Food's demise is that the archive is being closed outright, as opposed to remaining available without further updates. This is because many of the government's recent changes to the BBC are designed to make it less competitive compared to commercial media outlets.
Last year, Chancellor George Osborne specifically referenced BBC Food when calling for the BBC's influence to be curtailed, saying, "You wouldn't want the BBC to completely crowd out national newspapers."
The BBC is the focus of intense public debate at the moment, with culture minister John Whittingdale recently joking that the potential demise of the BBC was a "tempting prospect." At the BAFTA awards this month, many celebrities spoke out against the introduction of budget cuts and creative restrictions for the broadcaster, to the point where Wolf Hall director Peter Kosminsky used his entire acceptance speech to mount an impassioned defense of the BBC.
While politicians like Whittingdale and Osborne argue that the publicly funded BBC shouldn't compete with private companies, BBC employees are understandably baffled by this outlook. If their role is to provide news, entertainment, and educational resources that people find useful and enjoyable, the new measures effectively punish the BBC for being too good at its job.

On Remembrance Sunday, we look at the story of a Sikh cavalryman who fought on horseback and in the trenches in the frozen soil of France, surviving – just – to tell his tale.
One hundred and two years ago this week he landed in France to help stem the German tide, putting his life on the line. In doing so he and his colleagues made history, albeit a largely forgotten aspect of the Great War, which we now remember through our Empire, Faith & War ('EFW') project.
Please take a moment to reflect on the Indian Army's crucial role in WW1 this remembrance weekend and share this newsletter with others and ask them to sign up directly so we can continue to create the definitive Sikh people's history of WW1.
Nahar Singh: frostbitten, starving but fighting on
Lance Duffadar Nahar Singh of the 30th Lancers (Gordon's Horse) was born Dianatpur village, Jalandhar District, East Punjab, and his life has been researched by his grandson, Citizen Historian Balbir Singh Nijhar.
He reached French soil on 11 November 1914 and served as part of the Indian Cavalry divisions deployed at battles including Givenchy and Ypres. He also spent time in the trenches, where, due to the freezing conditions that winter, he nearly lost his legs to frostbite. He also recalled in later life how he had to scavenge for food whilst surviving on a handful of chickpeas.
Despite these trials and tribulations Nahar Singh lived to the ripe old age of 100. Read about his life story before, during and after the war, here.

Can somebody please explain why Linkshare's code for 468x60 (i.e. the most common industry-standard banner size) also includes HTML for a 1x1 pixel graphic for some kind of tracking purpose?
Since the banner is a graphic why have another graphic for the tracking? If it's just "to have it load faster and hence count more impressions" then that's a pretty ridiculous requirement IMO!
I've been dropping the 1x1 pixel graphics since they are not compatible with the (very standard) ad rotation package I'm using - unless a site is using SSI or PHP or similar to do HTML inclusion, the current Linkshare code won't work for ANY banner rotation package.
But I see that my impressions are not being counted, only my clicks.
All this seems a bit archaic - can somebody at Linkshare look into this?

I think you'll find that banners from affiliate networks that track your impressions all include a 1x1 tracking pixel. This pixel has your unique code in it so everytime it is displayed the affiliate network will know to count another impression for you. Many people find this important because they use stats to see which types of advertising are working best for them.
The tracking information cannot just be included in the banner image because then the ad network would have to make a copy of the banner image on their server just for your use. Instead they just have one of each banner that all affiliates use, and individual tracking pixels to indentify each individual affiliate. To avoid this some affiliate programs make you put the banner on your server, so you can figure out how to track the impressions. Alternatively they may serve the banner and just not give you the option of impression tracking (ex- Allposters)
The tracking pixel is very important in tracking impressions, and I'm sure many stat-addicts would not be able to live without it.

Well, CJ manage the tracking quite happily without resorting to a 1x1 pixel "crutch" so it clearly is possible.

You can interpret the query string on any image served by a program...of course to make that program work, all of the banners would have to served by linkshare servers. Having a separate 1x1 pixel means the banners could be served off other servers.
I actually like the fact that they don't track usage on all images...I've worked with clients that have privacy concerns that don't want an advertiser tracking their user's activity.
It seems to me that all that matters is how many users you get the merchant and how many convert to sales. But you might want to check with the merchants. It think they get suspicious when they see a lot of clicks with no impressions.

> Well, CJ manage the tracking quite happily without resorting to a 1x1 pixel "crutch" so it clearly is possible
It seems CJ hosts all banner links themselves, and can therefore determine impressions without a 1x1 pixel trick. It's "smart" for CJ to do this because they can rack up serving fees.
However, CJ does not host product links for advertisers. For example, I pulled a TowerRecords product link and here's the code (somewhat modified):
a href="http://www.qksrv.net/click-xxxxxx-xxxxxx" target="_top"
img src="http://a1348.g.akamai.net/f/1348/1216/1d/photo.towerrecords.com/coverart.asp?S=1526660&X=178&Y=244" alt="Matinee Idol/ Frank Capra's American Dream"
img src="http://www.qksrv.net/image-xxxxxx-xxxxxx" height="1" width="1" border="0"
Note that this last line is a 1x1 pixel. It's the only way to capture impressions when the image is not served by CJ.
It seems LinkShare and BeFree allow merchants to serve their own banners, so when they do, LS and BF put in 1x1 pixel code. When LS or BF are serving, no 1x1 pixel is needed.
October 4th, 2002, 05:06 PM #6
A few of you have already answered the initial question, but I want to reiterate that the 1x1 pixel allows LinkShare to track the impressions you generate when we do not serve a merchant's image. You'll note that there is no pixel within the code where the images are served by LinkShare. If you remove the 1x1 pixel from your linking code, we cannot track the impression activity, and they will not be reflected in any of your LinkShare reports. (Note that all click-through and sales information will still be tracked appropriately.)

Thanks for the explanation about the 1x1 pixel, LikshareMod. I've been brain-dead about the affiliate links code, always cutting and pasting without alteration.
So now the brain cells are starting to stir, and that's dangerous, you know [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] It leads to some more questions ...
(1) One thing I've always wondered is that if our webpage winds up in some cache, like the Google cache, or AOL, how the link still works so that we get credit. Would you please elaborate on that? I guess it doesn't matter what URL the link is being followed from, as long as it's got our affilate code in it, right?
(2)Are the caching servers out there open to abuse whereby someone can hijack our affiliate code as it's being served from the cache server and replace it with their own?
(3) Do 1x1 pixels served from a caching server get reported the same as those served from their native host, just as if they were served from the native host?
October 9th, 2002, 01:42 PM #8
Hi Whiznot,
Links should track correctly regardless of being served from the cache server or origin server. Caching merely copies objects (HTML pages, images and files) so that if called again, the copied version would be served instead of requesting the object again from the original server. If your affiliate ID is present in the URL when the user clicks through, then you should receive credit for any ensuing sales. Additionally, regardless of where the information is being served from or cached to, the 1x1 pixel will be counted every time that banner is displayed.
In terms of altering the affiliate code that is being served from a cache, it would be difficult for such changes to take place since there are rules which prohibit the alteration of cached objects. We are not aware of any technologies that would alter objects, specifically affiliate codes, at this level.
Thanks, and I hope this information is helpful.

Nerds without computers may seem a contradiction in terms, but life was
simpler back in 1984 and the geeks seemed to get along fine with just a
slide rule and a plastic pocket protector. A variation on the
fraternity-farce plot of Animal House, the picture celebrates the
triumphs of a gang of geeks, led by Robert Carradine and a pre-E.R.
Anthony Edwards, as they get back at a rival frat house full of jocks and
preppies. Although the brains-over-brawn theme ought to be sure-fire, the
movie gets by mostly on charm; there are very few explosively funny
sequences. The supporting cast includes some surprising familiar faces,
notably James Cromwell (Babe, L.A. Confidential) as
Carradine's look-alike dad, pants hoisted proudly to his armpits. The
director, Jeff Kanew (Gotcha!), went on to the 1991 private-eye
belly flop V.I. Warshawski and has not been heard from since.

A good logo speaks volumes about your company. Therefore it is important to do it right. A good logo will keep your brand name imprinted in the public's mind. If you are planning to design a logo for your brand, go through the following tips:
- Your logo needn't talk about the nature of your company. Neither should it be relevant to your business. You can do much better if you do not concentrate on the nature of your company while designing the logo.
- Logo sketching does not require you to be an artist. Just be creative and use a pen and a paper, rather than a mouse and a monitor. Ideas flow better when you have the former.
- Do not follow trends. Just because it is working in the market, you need not follow the pack. Be original and let your creative juices flow.
- Do not use colours in the very beginning. Your logo should be first sketched out in black and white. If you feel it looks good, you can add colours and experiment all the way.
- Have only a single thing to be remembered about your logo. Not multiple things. Remember, all strong logos have one single feature that helps them stand apart from the crowd.

Working to redefine patient-centered care
In our industry, we often hear about patient-centered care. For the team at Biologics, that means being a clinical, financial and emotional advocate for people fighting cancer. Quality patient care drives better oncology outcomes — and better oncology outcomes for all stakeholders are what drive us. That's what oncology care alignment is all about.
By unifying services, we're helping patients receive care faster by facilitating communication among the professionals involved in the process. We believe that patient-centered care naturally reduces financial risks by preventing unnecessary hospitalizations and encouraging adherence. It's why oncology care alignment makes sense for patients and the teams who support them.

Loading Dock Safety Barriers: Redefined
US Netting has taken the concepts behind common loading dock barriers made with static materials such as metal guard arms, chains, and screens, and has improved upon them in every way. Loading Dock Safety Nets provide protection from the floor up unlike dock safety chains and arms which allow for falls to occur under them. Loading dock safety screens made with repurposed debris netting are susceptible to puncture damage from materials and forklifts unlike our standard net mesh construction. Metal forklift barriers can become irreparably damaged after even the slightest impacts. The polyester webbing our loading dock barrier nets are made with possesses unrivaled elasticity allowing the system to absorb most common impacts while receiving little to no damage.
Our painless purchase process, requiring no on-site consultations or blueprints unlike our competitors, is designed to make premium safety products accessible to everyone, from the one man shipping and receiving team to the enterprise warehouse facilities across the nation. Don't want to "locate a rep"? No problem: just order online through our secure checkout system. We aren't afraid to show our prices either!
Combine all of this with the ease of our one man install and you have a loading dock safety system that offers more protection, takes less damage, thus requires less maintenance, and is as easy to install as it is to purchase.
