SAN MARCOS -- For Christian Kingsley, life these days involves a lot of re-learning things he once did without a thought.
And it revolves around a singular purpose: regaining control of his legs.
A makeshift wheelchair ramp at his family's front door is the first indication of a series of massive changes for the Mission Hills High School cross-country runner, who was paralyzed from the waist down in an accident last fall.
"I'm making progress," said the quiet 16-year-old, who uses a wheelchair and visits Project Walk in Carlsbad three times a week for intensive therapy sessions. "They've got me crawling now, and I'm getting control of my upper thighs."
Project Walk is a physical therapy center for people with spinal cord injuries.
Sitting in his living room Thursday evening, Christian pinched his right leg, just below the waist.
"I've been able to feel that area for a while, but I haven't been able to control it," he said.
Tom Kingsley, Christian's father, said at the family's north San Marcos home Thursday that a steady stream of fundraisers has kept his son enrolled at Project Walk, which costs $4,000 a month and is not covered by insurance.
"No matter how long it takes, I want him to keep pushing, keep trying, keep working until every strand of muscle in his legs is rehabilitated," Tom Kingsley said. "We don't know how long we'll be able to go to Project Walk -- right now, it's all dependent on fundraising."
The next fundraising event is a piano recital by Peter Gach scheduled for 2 p.m. April 19 at Palomar College. Tickets cost $10 in advance or $12 at the door.
A high school junior, Christian was a rising star in the track and cross country programs at Mission Hills, said his coach, Ryan Sharp.
"He was a very strong competitor," Sharp said. "Any time you run into the 18-minute range in cross country -- averaging six-minute miles over hills and whatnot -- you're pretty good. I was really excited to see what was going to come from him in the near future. He was like my new secret hidden weapon."
As it turns out, long-distance running and learning to walk again have a lot in common -- but there are differences.
"Cross country is all leg work," Christian Kingsley said. "Now, it's all upper body and core."
Sharp said he hopes the teen's determination as a runner will carry over into long-term rehabilitation.
"There are some sports with a short-term benefit -- you work on a basketball move or a baseball swing, and you get some success," Sharp said. "Distance running is an incredible amount of work for a long-term payoff way down the road.
"You're talking about running 50 to 60 miles a week, every week, starting in June, to have a successful race in November," he said. "That's hard for some kids. They can't see the payoff. But Christian could."
Christian said he didn't remember much of the Nov. 23 accident that claimed the use of his legs.
His family was riding motorcycles in Ocotillo Wells, a popular weekend destination in northeast San Diego County, when he crashed.
"I remember laying on the ground, and then trying to flag somebody down," he said.
The injured teenager was taken by helicopter to Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs, then later moved to Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego.
Tom Kingsley said that he still has about $10,000 in co-payments to cover, but is determined to keep his son enrolled at Project Walk for as long as possible.
"I want him to be back on his feet again, and I want him to be happy with his surroundings in the meantime," Tom Kingsley said. "If he's 26 years old, 10 years from now -- if it takes that long, he'll still be a young man."
Activities in the near future may include kayaking and adaptive skiing, which allows paraplegics to ride the slopes while in a special seat attached to a single ski.
The nonprofit Challenged Athletes Foundation has also said it would give Christian a handcycle so he can ride with his father, an avid cyclist.
"One of my favorite rides is along the coast -- Coast Highway, between Oceanside and La Jolla," Tom Kingsley said.
"I would commonly see people on handcycles along that route," he said. "Of course, I never really paid attention to the guys on handcycles, but now I say, 'Wow, there's someone on a handcycle.' "

Jrue Holiday of the Philadelphia 76ers is truly blossoming into one of the best point guards in the NBA today.
The Sixers rolled over the Toronto Raptors, 106-98, on Tuesday night, in a closer game than most expected Philadelphia fans could have expected. Furthermore, Holiday completely demolished the competition by piling on 19 points and stacking on 12 assists and adding on 8 rebounds almost completing the double-double.
Even without the effort, the Sixers players all stepped up to the plate throughout the entire game. Guards, Nick Young & Jason Richardson, combined for 44 points and Young with that display off the bench. Richardson shot a beautiful 7 for 14 from the floor (50%) and 4 for 9 from behind the arc (44.4%) while finishing with 21 points in 32 minutes.
However the play that deserves and grand applause is the amazing play of Holiday in the beginning of the 2012-2013 regular season. This season Holiday has averaged 18.6 points per game, 8.6 assists per game, 4.0 rebounds per game, 1.5 steals per game while shooting 45% from the field.
Holiday is solidifying his chances of becoming an NBA All-Star this season if he can continue to keep up his high level of play. Holiday's assists-per-game have increased by over three assists per game and his points per game have raised almost by half a dozen.
Also, with the loss of big man Andrew Bynum until late January or even early February, there has to be a Sixers player who can bear the load offensively. Combined with Richardson and Young and even Dorell Wright off the bench, Holiday will help lead this 7-4 Sixers team on another playoff run.

Festive Book Signing at Tiffin's
Richard Blackburn is shown doing a reading at Tiffin's Creative Centre. He and his wife are in Orillia to celebrate Christmas with family and we took the opportunity to have a book-signing event promoting their book, 'Twas With A Twist. The beautiful hardcover book with illustrations by Susan Shorter retells the story of "Twas the Night Before Christmas" but there's a twist. There's an added verse that takes St. Nick to the manger to acknowledge why he became Santa Claus. Milk and Cookies were served. The books continue to be available through Tiffin's Creative Centre.

OLYMPIA — The Washington State Attorney General's Office has filed criminal charges against Michael Mann, owner of Wheelchairs Plus Inc., in Thurston County Superior Court. The AGO alleges Mann committed the crimes of First Degree Theft and Medicaid False Statement when he fraudulently provided 119 Medicaid recipients with used or refurbished wheelchairs while billing Medicaid as if they were new. Mann billed the State Medicaid system a total of $606,980 for the wheelchairs.
Overview of the alleged scheme
As stated in the Certification for Determination of Probable Cause, the AGO investigation found that from 2006 – 2012, the defendant allegedly purchased previously used wheelchairs from websites such as craigslist.org or from nursing homes. The defendant would then refurbish each chair with a new coat of paint or replacement parts and then put a new label or serial number on it.
After the defendant had delivered the used wheelchair to a Medicaid client, he would allegedly submit a false claim to Medicaid stating that he had provided a new wheelchair.
The arraignment is currently scheduled for August 12th in Thurston County Superior Court. The charges contained in the information are only allegations. A person is presumed innocent unless and until he or she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
"The Attorney General's Office will vigorously investigate and prosecute the defrauding of taxpayers," said Attorney General Bob Ferguson.
Medicaid Fraud Control in Washington state
The Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit is responsible for the investigation and prosecution of healthcare provider fraud committed against the state's Medicaid program. The unit also coordinates with local law enforcement authorities to investigate and prosecute abuse and neglect in cases involving vulnerable adults residing in Medicaid-funded residential facilities.
State Medicaid authorities, including the Health Care Authority and Department of Social and Health Services, assisted significantly in the fraud enforcement of these matters.
- Report suspected Medicaid fraud: 360-586-8888 or [email protected]
- You can also report provider fraud via the Attorney General's Office website www.atg.wa.gov.
The DSHS Office of Fraud & Accountability investigates client fraud. You can report Medicaid Client Fraud via the Department's Online Complaint Form, call the Welfare Fraud Hotline at 1-800-562-6906 or send the complaint to Welfare Fraud Hotline, P.O. Box 45817, Olympia, Washington 98504-5817.

Manila, Philippines (PressExposure) June 20, 2013 -- Ayannah, the leading provider of digital commerce, payment and media services for online and mobile communities in emerging markets, was recently recognized by Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) as a key business partner and a major contributor to Smart's continuing success. Says Orlando B. Vea, Smart's chief wireless advisor, "They are an integral part of Smart's ability to innovate and grow and it is with their help that we are able to further reach and serve our more than 50 million subscribers."

With Ayannah's new and innovative mobile commerce and online payment services, we help enrich the lives of many Filipinos."
Perez attributes Ayannah's rapid rise as one of Smart's best performing non-traditional distributors to the successful deployment of Sendah Direct, Ayannah's cloud-based electronic retailing platform.

Perez further said "Our partners include the largest pawnshop chains in the country - M Lhuillier and Tambunting as well as leading drugstore chain South Star. They have adopted Sendah Direct because of the ease of provisioning and operations. We continue to add to the roster of distributors and retailers who have chosen Sendah Direct as the better way to sell load and other electronic equivalents of products and services.

Another simple project, tonight we will see how to create an audio connector for iDevice. After testing, it works on a 5.5G iPod, an iPhone 4 and iPad. The purpose of it is to play the sound via the dock connector rather than by the jack. At the other end of the cable I have two RCA, but you might as well put a 3.5′ jack or a 6.25′, do as you wish.
Materials needed:
– an iDevice connector. I found mine here: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/633. Again you are free to choose another. I chose it because there is room in it if lots of cables are needed.
– RCA audio cable (or other, it depends)
– heat shrink tubing, available in all good dairies
– A little bit of wire
– obviously a soldering iron, tin wire, and a third hand if possible.
Theory: after some research on pinouts.ru, here's how to wire the connector. First, we must recognize the direction of numbering. By convention, if the port is inserted into the iDevice, screen facing the sky and connector pins facing you, then pin 1 is on the left. Now, here's what pin you need:
– Connect pin 11 with pin 1 (GND). This allows you to send audio to the dock connector rather than the internal HP.
– Connect pin 2 to ground on the audio cable
– connect the audio cable's right to pin 3
– connect the audio cable's left to pin 4.
To prevent the pins from touching each other, I suggest you either cut those that do not serve or use shrink tubing to insulate them one by one:
I also added the braided sheath recovered from an old PSU, just to protect the cables:
To prevent solders from moving too much inside the connector, I have filled it with glue. It is dirty, but it serves the purpose! Please do not abuse with glue gun, if you can not manipulate the metal fasteners once the glue has cooled, your plug may get stuck in your iDevice!

Understanding the relationships that exist in the underwater world makes finding the interesting creatures easier. One of the more interesting relationships is commensalism, where one animal lives in close association with another and benefits from the relationship while providing no benefit or harm to the partner.
Coleman shrimp are normally found in pairs on the toxic sea urchin, Asthenosoma varium, or more commonly known as the fire urchin. The female is the larger of the two shrimp. The two hitch a ride on the fire urchin and receive protection by living within the poisonous spines.
Coleman shrimp move amongst the poisonous spines without incurring harm. The also clear an area of these obstructions where they live.

(WARNING: The following contains major SPOILERS for both the most recently aired episode of The Walking Dead, and the comic books upon which it was based. Proceed with whatever level of caution that suggests to you is wise.)
Now, with the most recent episode of #TheWalkingDead pushing even devoted fans of the series to their limits with its brutal depiction of bloody, bloody murder, it's perhaps not all that surprising that those who've never been fond of the show were downright appalled. That, at least, was the response of The Parents Television Council, a conservative watchdog that — in a move that should surprise literally no-one — just denounced The Walking Dead's Season 7 premiere for that aforementioned violence.
Yup, that's right:
The Walking Dead Premiere Didn't Go Down Well With Conservative Groups
Largely, it seems, because it featured Jeffrey Dean Morgan's #Negan bludgeoning two leading characters to death with a barbed-wire strewn baseball bat. As the president of the PTC, Tim Winter, recently put it:
"Last night's season premiere of 'The Walking Dead' was one of the most graphically violent shows we've ever seen on television, comparable to the most violent of programs found on premium cable networks... It's not enough to 'change the channel,' as some people like to advocate, because cable subscribers — regardless of whether they want AMC or watch its programming — are still forced to subsidize violent content. This brutally explicit show is a powerful demonstration of why families should have greater control over the TV networks they purchase from their cable and satellite providers."
Which, a) suggests that Winter was forced to watch the episode by his much cooler kid or younger sibling, and b) raises an interesting question: Is it reasonable to expect viewers to be responsible for what they watch, or should they be allowed to self-censor entire channels by removing them from their television packages in much the manner that Negan typically removes eyeballs?
After all, on the surface, the idea of being able to cherry-pick which channels you want in a cable or satellite package seems entirely reasonable: If you don't want a channel like #AMC, which features extreme violence, it seems instinctively odd to be forced to pay for it. There are two key problems there, though:
1. There's a widespread belief among industry professionals that unbundling will ultimately lead to both reduced choice for consumers (niche channels won't be able to afford to stay afloat) and increased costs for many subscribers (channels will be forced to raise their rates in order to stay profitable).
2. There's an argument to be made that the PTC's argument isn't actually in favor of greater choice, but in a greater ability for bill-payers to censor themselves, and those around them.
Now, whether it's relevant that the PTC — an organization with close ties to the conservative wing of the Republican party, and with a long history of espousing traditional conservative values — just happens to be simultaneously advocating both content-based censorship and a de-centralizing approach to television delivery likely depends on your own political views, but either way it's important to note that the organization's argument isn't all about Negan, or even Lucille.
Instead, it's about whether or not we should allow unlimited creative freedom on the airwaves, and — assuming the majority of us agree that there are ultimately limits to what should be shown — exactly what limits we should collectively set. In that sense, this really does become a question of censorship: The PTC is, in effect, saying that The Walking Dead has gone too far, and positioning itself as a suitable arbiter for deciding what else is or isn't appropriate. For better or for worse, that road leads to censorship, and to certain shows being deemed "unsuitable," "immoral," and, if history has taught us anything about how these things tend to go, "un-American."
And there we were thinking most people were just mad about the eye thing.
What do you think, though? Is the PTC right to take issue with The Walking Dead, or is it stepping into the realm of censorship? Let us know below!

Why call it Big Y? Big Y Foods began as a 900-sq.-ft. grocery store at a Y intersection in Chicopee, Massachusetts. It now operates more than 60 supermarkets in Massachusetts and Connecticut. Most of its stores are Big Y World Class Markets, offering specialty areas such as bakeries and floral shops, as well as banking. The rest consist of Big Y Supermarkets, two food and liquor stores called either Table & Vine and Fresh Acres, and a pair of drugstores. Some Big Y stores provide child care, dry cleaning, photo processing, and even propane sales, and their delis and food courts offer to-go foods. Big Y is owned and run by the D'Amour family and is one of New England's largest independent supermarket chains.
In addition to its 60-plus supermarkets Big Y Foods operates two specialty stores, and a pair of stand-alone drugstores.
Geographic Reach
Massachusetts-based Big Y Foods operates grocery stores in its home state and in Connecticut.
Big Y is set on getting bigger. To that end, in 2014 the company opened its fourth Table & Vine Fine Wines, Spirits, and Beer location in Wilbraham, Massachusetts, a-nd a second Big Y Express store in Pittsfield (also in MA) in August 2014.
Big Y also rolled out its own brand of convenience stores with fuel services through a partnership with longtime gas station operator F.L. Roberts & Co. The first of many planned locations, operating under the Big Y Express banner name, opened along the Massachusetts Turnpike Exit in late 2013.
Mergers and Acquisitions
The company has been expanding in Connecticut in 2014 following its purchase of seven supermarkets in northern Connecticut from ailing A&P. In 2014 Big Y also agreed to acquire Everybody's Market in Cheshire.
Company Background
In 2012 the company launched an online shopping mall -- called The Big Y Marketplace -- that allows customers to earn discounts on groceries by shopping with other retailers online. Its retail partners include Gap, Best Buy, Apple iTunes, Macy's, Sears, and more.
The company acquired two Louis & Clark Drug Stores in Massachusetts in 2011 and rebranded them as Big Y's Louis & Clark Pharmacies.

March 3rd, 2009 – by: sinaasje
At 7:30 a.m. I already wake up again, I think because of the noise. After breakfast I feel my hangover. On the slopes, I thought several times that my stomach contents would come out, feeling really sick. It was sunny and hot, so I didn't want to give up. Such nice weather on the ski slopes, you just can't miss that. But in the end at 2 p.m. I had to give up and return to the hotel to get some sleep. My friend Glenn was also tired so we left the group and he came with me to the hotel, but first we had a delicious and famous chocolate milk in the Coffee Shop that's under the hotel. They are legendary. I get into bed and set my alarm clock on 5 p.m. so I would be ready for the après ski euuuuhm yess... drinking again lolz. This time with glüwein and soup, while watching a rail contest on the stairs of the terrace. Pretty spectacular, especially when one of the riders falls of the rail and hits it with his jaw and knee. It causes a lot of drama and blood. The other riders were challenged to do tricks, they received 20 or 50 € when executed well. The big winner was another mobile phone and a check of 500 €. After the contest we went inside for the second portion après ski: Jägermeister. After sleeping out my hangover from the night before, I had too much AGAIN. It was a quiet evening in the bar, we drank some more in our rooms and ate space cake. Afterwards we just sit in de bar and talked, where I got to know a nice boy. When I went to my room, I met one of the rail contest riders. He asked me : "Do you want to see something??" and me, not really understanding what was happening, answered : "Euhm yeah why not..." Then he instantly dropped his pants :) Ok, not for showing what you might think now, but for showing his knee. He was the one that got hurt. I can tell, his knee looks afwul! I ignored the fact he was hitting on me, and went to bed, because the alcohol and cake made me really tired....

Nocturne Build Guide by OzChaelz
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Nocturne Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Welcome to the Pure Damage guide for Nocturne. This guide has one purpose, the highest damage throughout the whole game. Not surviving, not escaping, just damage. If you play Nocturne, you can escape with your spells alone.
Summoner Spells
These mainly depend on how you play.
I chose flash and exhaust because it is the most damage you can get from him, you can do ignite exhaust too but i think that flash works best so you can flash to escape, but mainly you can flash to enemies and then fear them, ending it quickly.
I say Armor Penetration marks, and quints, and the rest attack speed, because this is a great damage boost both early and mid game, and makes it so you do not have to buy any armor penetration items. More damage. Quicker.
Simply damage, not much more than that. It mainly depends on how you play, but these are the masteries I use. Again, high damage.
This is the most important bit.
Start: Get a Doran's Blade.
Next: If you have any reason to come back with less than 1500 gold, and more than 475, get the second Doran's Blade. Otherwise wait and get the B.F. Sword.
Next: Get a Bloodthirster. Don't bother with the Vampiric Scepter. This is so you can stay in lane a lot longer, and do a load more damage. Try to kill as many minions as you can, so that you can rack up the boost on Bloodthirster.
Next: Time for your first Phantom Dancer. If you can, get it fully, but if not get the Zeal first, then Phantom Dancer. Be at your liberty for the other two items, just don't go back for them.
Next: Black Cleaver. B.F. Sword first, then the full item. Just wait for the Black Cleaver, don't bother with the Dagger.
Next: Second Phantom Dancer. Same routine as the first one.
Next: Bloodthirster. Same routine.
Try to only sell the Doran's Blades when you are about to get a B.F. Sword.
Skill Sequence
Simply, get Duskbringer first. This will increase your damage output and movement speed. And its great for last hitting. Then you're going to want Unspeakable Horror, again for damage output, CC'ing, and running, or chasing. Get Duskbringer again then Shroud of darkness.
Now, max out Duskbringer (get Paranoia if you can of course.)
Next: Unspeakable Horror
Next: Shroud of Darkness.
Always get Paranoia.
Highest damage output build I have ever made. And I have tested it many times, just never ranked play. You can take 2v1 no problem, might have a little bit of trouble with 3. But again, it's all situational.

I am going to say this once, and once only. For those of you who write and say stuff like, "I expect to see The Everlasting in stores by Christmas," it's a nice sentiment of encouragement, but it doesn't work that way.
Here is the current plan: the book will be completed by end of summer; I then start shopping that draft to agents; hopefully, one of them will take me and start hawking me to publishers. Maybe we'll get lucky and you'll have it by Christmas next year. I am attempting to not go a comic book route this time. That way was very successful for Cut My Hair, and it made money for myself, Scott Morse, and Oni Press, but there are certain things a prose house can afford me that the comics world can't. First, prestige amongst the prose world. I need it for my ego. Second, resources to do all the other work so that I don't have to. It's that simple. I appreciate the fans I picked up in the comic book markets (and the ones outside), and hopefully it won't matter to you how The Everlasting is released. (This also means no illustrations.)
Also, don't expect any sneak peeks in any great length, so don't ask. Some people have seen the beginning of the book, as I was ready to show material at that time, but I have pulled back and am not sharing right now. This is a monarchy, and I am touchy about that stuff, so don't be offended. It's just how I do things.
It's been a good and productive week. I am happy with how it came out. I introduced a thematic element I was struggling with, and the whole thing is rolling along nicely. Yay!

Original paper
Crystal chemistry, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and thermodynamic properties of botryogen
Majzlan, Juraj; Plášil, Jakub; Dachs, Edgar; Benisek, Artur; Bender Koch, Christian
Neues Jahrbuch für Mineralogie - Abhandlungen Band 193 Heft 2 (2016), p. 147 - 159
published: Apr 1, 2016
ArtNo. ESP154019302005, Price: 29.00 €
Botryogen, nominally MgFe(SO4)2 (OH) ˙ 7H2 O, is a mineral of some oxidation zones and gossans, missing in other ones. Here, we attempted to investigate the mineral by several methods; once sufficient data are collected for other (Mg)-Fe sulfates, the results of this work could answer the question as to what are the patterns of occurrence of botryogen. The sample from Nuevo Cuyo, Argentina, has the chemical composition (Mg0.773 Zn0.165 Mn0.047)Fe3+ 1.010(SO 4)2(OH) ˙ 7H2O, with molecular mass of 423.831 g˙mol–1. The parameters of the two doublets in the Mössbauer spectrum are: isomer shifts of 0.41 and 0.39 mm˙s–1, quadrupole splittings of 1.16 and 1.62 mm˙s–1, line widths of 0.26 and 0.24 mm˙s–1, and relative spectral areas of 54.6 and 45.4 %, respectively. The data indicate two different, well defined coordination sites in the sample for Fe 3+ high spin. The structure of botryogen has been refined to wR (all) = 0.0760. It consists of [Fe3+ (SO4)2 (OH)(H2 O)]2– chains that are cross-linked by Mg6 polyhedra. We have also deter- mined the positions of the H atoms. There are three transformer H2O groups and two non-transformer H2 O with three- and four-fold coordinated O atoms, respectively. Upon heating, the structure of botryogen is monotonously expanding up to ~ 100 °C and then it collapses into X-ray amorphous state. Using acid-solution calorimetry, we determined the enthalpy of formation of botryogen as –4488.4 ± 2.3 kJ˙mol–1. The heat capacity (C p) data show a weak anomaly, centered at ~4.5 K, possibly corresponding to a magnetic transition in the structure of botryogen. Surprisingly, C p of botryogen levels off at a value of 0.4 J˙mol–1 ˙K –1 at a temperature of ~2 K. There may be another phase transition and an associated C p anomaly at these low temperatures. Using relaxation calorimetry, we determined the standard entropy at T = 298.15 K as 501.3 ± 6.0 J˙mol –1 ˙K –1. The Gibbs free energy of formation of the botryogen (composition given above) is –19.0 ± 2.9 kJ˙mol–1. The equilibrium constant for the reaction (and the composition given above) Mga Znb Mnc Fed (SO4)2 (OH) ˙ 7H2 O + H+ = aMg2+ + bZn 2+ + cMn 2+ + dFe 3+ + 2SO4 2– + 8H2 O at T = 298.15 K, that is, the solubility product, is log K = –5.34 ± 0.64.

Ranking Function Adaptation With Boosting Trees
Machine learned ranking functions have shown successes in web search engines. With the increasing demands on developing effective ranking functions for different search domains, the authors have seen a big bottleneck, i.e., the problem of insufficient labeled training data, which has significantly slowed the development and deployment of machine learned ranking functions for different domains. There are two possible approaches to address this problem: combining labeled training data from similar domains with the small target-domain labeled data for training or using pairwise preference data extracted from user click through log for the target domain for training.

Greetings, all,
I'm evaluating putting together an affiliate program to help market my company, Snap.com, a new kind of search engine. Any thoughts or suggestions on how to structure the program would be greatly appreciated--my thoughts are to pay affiliates per search, but it's a question of how much, etc. Is a tiered commission worthwhile or not?
Much appreciated,
Paul Angles

It's unclear what kind of relationships you're looking for -- are you looking for "search partner" or just plain affiliates to send you traffic? Take a look at Google's offerings under AdSense for Search, and of course the other companies in the space.
One of the problems here is the huge amount of fraud in the space -- there are thousands of "search-affiliates" whose specialty is generating traffic in artificial ways to get money.

Can 'place-shifting' drive the upstream and premium broadband services?
Thank baseball for the inspiration behind Sling Media and the concept of "place-shifting"—the distribution of video from the primary television to any broadband-connected device. For Blake Krikorian, the CEO of Sling Media, the idea was hatched after he and his brother—both big San Francisco Giants fans—wondered about the possibility of watching their favorite team in action, despite heavy travel schedules.
After making a big entrance in January at the Consumer Electronics Show, Sling Media is nearing the launch of the Slingbox, a $249 device that will enable consumers to virtually bring their living room televisions with them. CED Editor Jeff Baumgartner recently caught up with Krikorian to find out more about his plans for Sling Media's products and technology. An edited transcript follows.
CED: Why place-shifting, and why now?
In addition to the different displays, broadband infrastructure is now in place and wireless networking in the home has reached a critical mass. The time is now right to deliver a product at a consumer price point that can deliver that living room TV experience wherever you are on whatever device you have.
The desire or need hasn't really changed. It's actually always been there, but the technology has not been mature enough or ubiquitous enough to enable it. Now, we're there.
CED: How does this technology work?
Krikorian: The Slingbox Personal Broadcaster, which will be available in the first half of this year, is a $249 device. You put this device in your home and it enables you to enjoy that living room TV experience from wherever you happen to be. It turns your notebook PC, as an example, into a wireless LCD TV. You can be in another room in the house or in the back yard controlling and watching your living room TV programming. Or wherever you happen to be in the world with a broadband 'Net connection, you can also view and control that living room TV programming, whether you're at work or on the road.
You plug in your existing TV signal. We don't discriminate between what different TV signals that might be. It might be analog cable; it might be a digital cable set-top box; it could be a satellite receiver; or it could be any form of DVR, as well. You also put the Slingbox into your home network. Think of it as a box that takes TV in and spits IP video out.
CED: How do you deal with changing or non-guaranteed bit rates?
Krikorian: Streaming that video over IP is a very key technical challenge. This is where we had to innovate quite a bit...to deliver a satisfying user experience. First off, we had to make sure that this product could work in the existing infrastructure.
We essentially work down to the sub-100 kbps speeds. I would say that for real full-motion video, you realistically need 120 kbps, and at anything higher than that, the quality levels increase quite significantly. Talking about just that speed in terms of one number, is not how it works. There is no such thing as QoS in the existing infrastructure. It's best effort. When we look at what the user experience had to be with live television programming, people were not going to accept the rebuffering and freeze frames that are typically associated with streaming over IP. We had to ensure that we could deliver over all of these networks a smooth TV viewing experience. What we did is create some key technologies, which we've code-named "Lebowski."
CED: As in, "The Big Lebowski"?
Krikorian: Like "The Big Lebowski," one of my favorite movies. Like they say in the movie, "The dude abides"—our TV stream abides to whatever available bandwidth there is at any given time. The SlingBox itself will optimize that video stream for whatever given device and whatever given network it is streaming to. Not only that, but it will automatically adjust that video stream to work within the available bandwidth that is available at any given time. It will absolutely fluctuate. While you're watching the stream, the technology in the SlingBox and the technology on the client application are talking to each other in real time and dynamically adjusting the bit rate, the frame rate, the resolution and a variety of other parameters based on what type of content it is encoding.
CED: How much testing have you done to show that the ability to keep video and audio coming in different bit rate environments actually works?
Krikorian: We've been out developing and testing this for 18 months. We're now doing a field trial with a couple of hundred consumers. We're continuing to evolve a lot of those Lebowski algorithms.
For example, a 3G network, which we've been testing quite a bit recently, behaves much differently than a T-1 line coming into my office, so Lebowski has an algorithm that varies depending on what type of transport or what type of physical network it's coming over.
One of the interesting things that's happening now is high-speed data network upgrades, and people are getting higher and higher speeds. But what are the applications that will drive up the need and the desire for this higher speed service? The Slingbox is a perfect application. A case in point is myself. I was an eight-year DSL user in the Bay Area. I had the standard package of 384 kbps downstream and 128 kbps up. Even being a very advanced user, I had no need for 1 Mbps down or 3 Mbps down. As soon as we started developing the Slingbox, that was finally the application that made me say, "I need faster upload speeds." I actually changed...to Comcast high-speed data. The quality difference between the 128 and 256 was quite noticeable.
When consumers see it, [this] gets that craving for high-speed data really rolling. That's where some of the conversations we've been having with high-speed data providers have been incredibly positive, because this is an app that could potentially drive those new premium services.
CED: At the CES show, it was mentioned that Sling Media would be interested in cable partnerships. What's the status on those discussions?
Krikorian: Both on the cable and on the DSL side we've seen quite a bit of traction and interest. You should expect to see us starting to bundle our consumer offer with the ability to get higher speed service or convert them from one service provider to another that's providing a better quality experience for the Slingbox.
As one cable executive told me, "Basically what you're doing at Sling is you're adding another room to every home in America." I didn't really understand what he meant at first, but now I fully understand it. We basically have added another room—a virtual room—that's another socket for digital cable, as an example. For a cable MSO, this increases the number of outlets they can try to sell their digital cable or premium services [to].
CED: What's your business plan? Are you simply in the business of selling boxes, or is there more to it than that?
Krikorian: The old adage of "keep it simple, stupid" is exactly what we follow here. Sling Media is first and foremost a consumer products company. We view ourselves as a new kind of consumer electronics company that really understands the digital consumer. We're going to be selling this product at retail...in the big outlets and online. There's no monthly service fee. The consumer is already paying $80 a month to the cable provider; they're already paying $49 for their high-speed service; they're already paying for these PCs and PDAs that they have. What convergence should really mean is that all of that stuff I'm already paying for starts to work together, much better. We felt that we needed to be able to hit this price point and give people the programming and services that they already get, but give them the experience elsewhere—and try as hard as we possibly can to not charge them additional service fees because there's so much subscription fatigue out there. It's really holding back a lot of solutions and a lot of technology.
CED: So you're comfortable with a $249 price point? I would think some people would balk at that. Are you also going to subsidize it to get into the consumer electronics food chain?
Krikorian: First off, the $249 price is really a breakthrough price. As you try to get to a $199 or $99 price point, then it's a step function of the volumes you can hit. But just looking at that $249 price point, let's look at past history. In 1996 the Palm Pilot came out and they were, I think, at a $349 or $399 price point. They moved more than 1 million units in the first 12 months. Then look at the iPod. The lowest price point besides the new Shuffle product is $299, and there are anywhere between 10 and 20 million of those products out there. You can hit a pretty large market at that price point. Does subsidizing the product and adding some services...open up an even larger market? Absolutely. Could selling the product at $49 and charging a $10 a month service move more units and increase uptake? Perhaps. It's something that we could do, but based on our experience...it appears that our initial premise of charging a modest fee and not charging them an additional service charge is very refreshing to that consumer.
CED: One of the big questions surrounding Sling Media has to do with content rights. How confident are you that your company can do what it plans to do without finding yourself buried in litigation?
Krikorian: The first thing is that the response we've received from content copyright holders to the networks and so forth has been very positive. There's clearly an opportunity that the Slingbox provides in terms of really extending the reach, which is what that whole industry is all about. It always boils down to how they can monetize it, so there are questions that this raises for things to determine and explore for it to be an even larger positive for the industry. But there hasn't been that much negative reaction, but much more speculation about what this means.
We did a lot of homework up front to ensure that what we were doing was respecting the rights of copyright holders. We're not trying to create a product that, for example, could turn a consumer into a mass broadcaster.
CED: What are you doing in the box to avoid that?
Krikorian: The Slingbox itself will only stream to one outside device at any one point in time. If I have a PDA and laptop and I'm watching my TV on the laptop, if I try to connect with the PDA, it won't let me until I log off the laptop. It's more of the one-to-one relationship. People say we're doing a P-to-P. I say absolutely not. It's more of a me-to-me rather than P-to-P.
Also, we are not circumventing encryption schemes or anything of that nature. Once you do something like that, obviously that's not a legal thing to do. There's the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which clearly states that you cannot circumvent encryption schemes, and we're not. We're actually taking that analog content that's in the free and clear and...redirecting it to your personal device.
CED: Do you have the capacity to expand the restrictions to more than one device?
Krikorian: It has more to do with having those discussions with the content owners and if there's a model that makes sense there. At our house, we have his and hers Slingboxes. Interestingly enough, my wife uses the SlingBox exclusively in the home. While the press has gotten very interested in the out-of-home applications, what we've found [from] talking to consumers is that there are just as many who are interested in streaming their TV in and around the house. I actually went out and got another digital set-top box because I wanted my own discreet session and wanted to get some of my premium stations, and that's a good thing for the cable operators and the broadcasters, as well. You could also plug a live cable into the product, too, because we have a built-in TV tuner in the Slingbox.

8 Random Facts Meme
Here are the 8 random facts about me!
1. I'm a total multi-tasker, I find it very difficult to stick to doing one thing at a time and can't even remember the last time I did. Even when I'm blogging I'm typically working, sometimes on the phone, eating my breakfast at my desk, etc. I think driving is basically the only thing that gets my full attention...well I have music on, and if Emma's in the car...needless to say I'm easily distracted! This post alone has been running for like 4 days! (thank God for blogger's autosave feature!)
2. I can't get enough flip-flops or sunglasses. I don't care how many pairs of flip-flops or sandals I own or how many pairs of sunglasses, I'll always look at both of those things when I'm in a store, especially if it's T.J. Maxx!
3. I never get sick of spending time with my family. I'm talking about my husband, my daughter, my parents, grandparents, siblings...I will spend all of the time I can with family. If I can't spend time with my hubby because he's working I will be with my parents or grandparents and my daughter. I very, very rarely will stay home alone. Not like I'm scared or anything, but I feel like it's a waste of time to just be alone. Emma and I always head out to visit family if Trevor is working.
4. I love a great deal! I very rarely will pay regular price for an item, especially clothing, shoes, accessories. You can't really do much about food, toilet paper, diapers, etc. But, when I can use a coupon, get a sale price or better yet clearance, even find a deal online...I will!
5. Just like my friend Mert, I'm a big planner and list maker. If we are going on vacation, planning a birthday party, going grocery shopping(hehe)...seriously, I'm the worst that way and since I'm such a totaly multi-tasker sometimes my lists will overlap. It's terrible!
6. Again, like Mert, yes we have a lot in common, I'm a total carnivore and could eat meat at every meal...nice big juicy steak especially. Salads and veggies are not my bag at all, I don't mind a good salad sometimes, but I really prefer it have some sort of meat on it...Taco Salad, YUM...Chef Salad, tasty...but just some plain jane side salad...no thanks!
7. I can get kind of paranoid, I have self-esteem issues related to my weight issues that lead me to have issues about what people think of me or whatever. I have issues! If there is a group of people walking behind me talking inaudibly that breaks into laughter or giggling it makes me paranoid they are laughing at me, or if people are staring in my direction at all it makes me paranoid wondering if they are staring at me and what they are thinking. But, oddly, I have this other little part of me that could give a rip what people think and kind of has this "go fat girls!" defiance thing about being overweight. Now I'm wondering what you, dear reader, are thinking of me...yeah it's a sickness...I know, I have multiple personalities or something!
8. As you may have already discovered, I'm a very open person, I pretty much share a lot of myself with people and that's a little odd given my #7 isn't it? Oh well, that's me in a nutshell!

Great list! I'm with you on being paranoid about what other people think of me... especially other moms. Also, I swear some girls were talking about my hair at Summerfest about 5 years ago. I swear!
Oh, and thanks for not tagging me! I'm still working on the last meme ;)

I am so paranoid of what people think of me, especially my weight. I also have validation issues...
Hey, I blogged about salad today too!

#7 really resonates... I'm in pretty decent shape but every time I ate more than a few bites over vacation my mother would talk about how I need to hit the gym when I get back! Considering that most meals I didn't eat at all (I didn't like the food there) I thought that was a little harsh...
Oh and I would totally buy all kinds of sunglasses if I didn't have the regular glasses!
