The third season of Blake Hoppes Youth League Football got into full swing on Sunday with four games. The league has grown over the past three years into a full-fledged league encompassing Springfield, Lebanon and Campbellsville. The league now has a home field behind the board of education complete with new goal posts, scoreboard and concession trailer. And from the turnout for each game, it seems the league has plenty of support from Washington County and the surrounding communities.
The Washington County boys' golf team has been chugging along with several recent matches.
Green County
On Sept. 9, the Commanders visited Green County and came away with a 163-167 win over the Dragons.
Chris Spalding shot a 38, followed by Travis Smith at 39, Blake Smith at 42 and Chase Spalding with a 44.
Heartland Conference
SCC Sports Information
The Mid-South Conference is regarded annually as one of the best, if not the best, NAIA conferences in the nation when it comes to soccer. Thus, when your team can get a conference victory it has to be cherished.
And a victory is what the St. Catharine College men and women recorded at home Saturday against Pikeville in the first conference game of the season. Paul Patton's women opened the action with a 2-1 win and Tim Wolz's guys finished the day with a 4-0 conquest of the Bears.
The St. Catharine College mens' basketball team will hold a tip-off banquet at Mordecai's On Main in Springfield, Sept. 29 at 7 p.m.
Morehead State University coach Donnie Tyndall will be the guest speaker.
As head coach at St. Catharine in 1996-97, Tyndall led the Patriots to their only appearance in the National Junior College Tournament. Current Patriot head coach, J.T. Burton was a guard on that national tournament team.

The Washington County Commanders' record improved to 5-0 Friday night with a thrilling 3-0 victory over the heavily-favored Marion County Knights. A field goal by senior Seth Mattingly was the deciding score as the Commanders shut down the Knight offense and held them scoreless.
For a complete wrap-up, see the Sept. 29 issue of The Springfield Sun.
It was a tough week for Adam Stevenson's St. Catharine College volleyball team. After losing a tough match to conference foe Cumberlands in five sets, the Patriots suffered some key injuries that led to their demise in the TranSouth/Mid-South Volleyball Classic played over the weekend at Cumberland University in Lebanon, Tenn.
The St. Catharine College womens' soccer team has two wins on the season and both have come in convincing fashion. The 2-2 Patriots opened the 2010 campaign with an 11-0 rout of Ohio Christian. Then, after dropping the next two matches, the Patriots routed the visiting Berea College Mountaineers 8-0 Saturday.
"It was a good game to get everyone playing time," said SCC head womens' coach Paul Patton. "We were able to dominate the play the entire game."
The past week was a tough one for the Washington County volleyball team. The Commanderettes fell 2-0 (25-18, 26-24) to Bardstown on Sept. 9, and then lost to Marion, Taylor and LaRue counties during the Abraham Slam Jam at LaRue County over the weekend. Head coach Curt Scifres said while the freshman and JV squads are doing well, the varsity has been struggling lately.
It's no wonder kids all over the county enjoy attending the annual kids' day sponsored by the Cantuc Whistlers chapter of Quail Unlimited. Where else can you shoot BB guns, take archery practice, play tug-o-war and chase a greased pig?
At last count, more than 100 kids participated in the event that promotes safety while giving the youth a taste of the outdoors.
Members of the Blake Hoppes Youth Football League, plus any middle school football player in Washington County, can enjoy a free night of football this Friday when the Commanders host Lincoln County. All they have to do is wear their jersey to the game and they will receive free admission.

Dario Franchitti has won the pole for Sunday's IndyCar Series race at Long Beach.
Franchitti came into the weekend ranked last in the IndyCar standings and off to the worst start of his career. But he insisted he's not concerned about the start, and proved it with a big last lap in Saturday's qualifying.
Franchitti's last lap was 1:07.2379 and bounced Ryan Hunter-Reay off the pole at the last second.
Will Power was third and was followed by Takuma Sato, Mike Conway and Helio Castroneves. The Fast Six had an even split of three Chevrolets and three Hondas.
IndyCar penalized Scott Dixon, Oriole Serbia and Marco Andretti in the first round.
Two weeks ago at Barber, IndyCar penalized Sato for interfering with Justin Wilson's qualifying lap.

A.Ag 963-965
πολλῶν πατησμὸν δ' εἱμάτων ἂν ηὐξάμην,
δόμοισι προυνεχθέντος ἐν χρηστηρίοις,
ψυχῆς κόμιστρα τῆσδε μηχανωμένῃ.
Seems like δόμοισι is in the wrong place. C. Collard translates it as if δόμοισι is the location for receiving the oracle in accord with the word order. My first inclination was to read δόμοισι with the following line as the place where Agamemnon would return (remove the comma after χρηστηρίοις). Don't know if that is a possible reading.
D-P note that the reference to Agamemnon by means of ψυχῆς ... τῆσδε is striking.
Had a real fun time trying to figure out προυνεχθέντος. I don't always use a computer, spend more than half the time with old technology, books and paper. Eventually I looked at the notes in D-P and the dictionary form προφέρω was there but the aor. 1 προήνεγκα: aor. 2
προήνεγκον don't appear as head words Middle LS. The string -νεχθέντ- appears 1541 places in TLG_E so it is something that should be familiar, sigh! Should keep in mind TLG_E is something over 90 million words. [edit] Limited the search to texts before 2nd Cent. AD, that cut the number to 243. Then limited it to Attic Trag. and there one (1) hit A.AG. 964. So not so common in the Attic Trag. genre.
D-P says the gen-abs προυνεχθέντος in the singular is unusual. This short speech by Κλυταιμήστρα seems kind of difficult. Not done with it yet.

HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — Media freedom campaigners said Friday police in Zimbabwe are breaking the law by seizing and banning small radio receivers that can tune in to stations not linked to the state broadcasting monopoly controlled by President Robert Mugabe's party.
The Media Institute of Southern Africa said Friday no regulations outlaw the hand-cranked, solar powered radios that democracy and election support groups plan to use ahead of a referendum on a new constitution next month and crucial elections later in the year. Police insist the radios and cheap Chinese 3G smartphones with GPS capability are being supplied by "subversive organizations" and pose a security threat surrounding the polling.
The media group said any broadcast receiver only requires a routine listeners' license, and the police action was a grave threat to active and informed participation in upcoming voting.
"The importance of a radio set cannot be overemphasized as it is a generally affordable legal gadget used for receiving information by the public," the group said.
Police efforts to "criminalize the distribution and possession of the radio sets" infringed citizens constitutional rights to freedom of expression and basic civil liberties," it said.
Such radios and other equipment were seized in recent police raids on the Zimbabwe Peace Project, a human rights group that monitors political violence, and the independent Zimbabwe Election Support Network.
Police allege those and other groups were planning to mobilize "recruits" with unauthorized communications devices in rural districts across the country, traditionally voting strongholds of Mugabe's party.
The Elton Microlink radio, at a cost of about $30, has channels able to receive Voice of America broadcasts beamed in from neighboring Botswana and shortwave broadcasts on Zimbabwe from Europe.
The state Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corp. has four radio stations fiercely loyal to Mugabe. State and independent newspapers are not commonly found in impoverished rural districts where communities rely for information on radios only receiving state radio and powered by batteries that are often in short supply.
Police warned this week that the activities of some Western-backed non-governmental organizations and rights groups now verged on espionage. People found in remote areas with the cited devices could face arrest.
They said the "specially designed radios are not compatible with state-owned radio stations" and could inflame election tensions by promoting hate speech.
Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's party in a shaky coalition with Mugabe since the last violent and disputed polls in 2008 accused the state broadcaster of bias against it and blamed all media controlled by Mugabe loyalists for using hate speech against his opponents.
Penalties of a small fine for receiving satellite television, widely popular in Zimbabwe, and worldwide shortwave radio programs are only imposed if no annually-issued radio or television license is held. Receiving equipment cannot be seized.
The independent Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights reported in a separate statement Friday what it called a sustained and escalating assault on groups involved in civic education, human rights monitoring and public outreach programs.
The clampdown was likely to intimidate ordinary people into shunning civic groups working in local communities for fear of police threats.
The lawyers called for "sanity to prevail and a reduction of the hysteria and paranoia currently characterizing the state and its institutions and actors."

Accessible Media
Note: The word "accessibility" is often shortened to "a11y" on Twitter because the 11 letters that make up the word 'accessibility' is replaced on the micro-blogging platform; it now is a monicker or catchall for conversations, events, discussions or experts involved with accessibiltiy. Robert Pearson introduces us to the concept of #a11y barcamps that take place throughout the year.
Be it a conference, an unconference or a camp, the "a11y" events scheduled throughout the upcoming #Supera11ySeason are founded on the idea of encouraging free-flowing, participant-driven conversation about issues of access. By convening designers, developers, usability folks, persons with disabilities, those working within the IT accessibility space and those with an interest in learning more about the field, each event is full of speeches, presentations and demonstrations that strive towards achieving greater accessibility.
In 2010, four events took place in cities around North America. In 2011, that number rose to eight and in 2012 that number is set to rise to 11 and now includes London, England and Tokyo, Japan. Accessible Media Inc. (AMI) began participating and sponsoring these events in 2011 and is pleased to once again be doing so this year. Each event is a great opportunity for members of the design/development, usability, accessibility, other IT and end-users within disabilities communities to interact and learn from each other. In September 2011, three events were held over the course of seven days in Boston, London and Toronto. I had the opportunity to travel to and participate in these three conference and others throughout the season. Dubbed #Supera11yweek at the time, each event showcased the common themes of standards, technologies and design techniques that we focus upon in this field and how we all work on the same Internet to achieve the same goal of greater inclusion.
As the number of these events continues to increase, the focus now shifts to the "Season" of events that lie ahead. Nowhere is this more apparent than at these conferences to convene, converse and discover new strategies and approaches to inclusion with both the uninitiated and the experts at the same time. The community that requires accessibility has been patient long enough. It is time to meet their needs and ensure that no one is left behind, that everyone feels included and that the world becomes a more accessible place. To that end, everyone is welcome at these events, as innovations in this field will come from these grassroots and ground breaking "a11y" events.

Wall Street was set to rally on the first trading day of 2013, after lawmakers agreed a deal to avoid massive tax hikes and spending cuts that had threatened to hurt economic growth.
The gains would come after stocks ended 2012 with their strongest day in more than a month, which put the S&P 500 up 13.4 percent for the year, after a flat performance in 2011.

Late on Tuesday, the House of Representatives voted for a bill that will raise taxes on wealthy individuals and families and preserve certain benefits.
The vote averted immediate austerity measures, like tax hikes for almost all U.S. households, although it didn't resolve other political showdowns on the budget due in coming months. Spending cuts of $109 billion in military and domestic programs were only delayed for two months.
"We are looking at a sharply higher open on Wall Street," said Peter Cardillo, chief market analyst for Rockwell Global Capital in New York. "The deal certainly brightens the prospects for economic growth, and traditionally speaking, the first week of the year generally sets the stage for the rest of the year for equities - so this is positive."
"There is a lot of euphoria out there and I expect, for the next day or two, the market will continue on the upside. We will see money re-entering the market," Cardillo said.
S&P 500 futures rose 26.8 points and were above fair value, a formula that evaluates pricing by taking into account interest rates, dividends and time to expiration on the contract. Dow Jones industrial average futures gained 203 points, and Nasdaq 100 futures added 57.25 points.
The long-awaited U.S. fiscal deal lifted global shares at the start of the new year. The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 <.FTEU3> was up 1.6 percent and the MSCI world index <.MIWD00000PUS> rose 0.8 percent.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jonathan Lucroy hit a solo home run in the 10th inning and the Milwaukee Brewers rallied past the St. Louis Cardinals 4-3 Sunday and avoided a sweep at Busch Stadium.
The Brewers trailed 3-0 when Ryan Braun hit a two-run homer off reliever Trevor Rosenthal with no outs in the eighth.
Braun's second home run of the season snapped a 39-inning shutout streak for St. Louis pitchers. It also broke a club-record 32-inning scoreless string for the Brewers, who had not scored since the second inning Tuesday against the Cubs.
Milwaukee tied it in the ninth on a leadoff single by Carlos Gomez and an RBI double by Yuniesky Betancourt off Mitchell Boggs.

Sony to Sell American HQ for $1.1B
In an effort to improve the company's cash flow, Sony has worked out an agreement to sell its Madison Avenue building in New York for approximately $1.1 billion.
According to Polygon, Sony will continue to operate a few divisions (Sony Pictures and Sony Music Entertainment), out of the building for up to three more years. Even though Sony is selling the 37-story building, it will continue to lease the space for the next few years from the new buyer.
Sony is expected to make nearly $770 million after all the remainder of its debt and transaction fees are taken out. The move is part of Sony's plan to, "strengthen its financial foundation and business competitiveness." The company will adjust its financial forecast for the fiscal year, and expects the deal to bring in an operating-income gain of $685 million.

STR Series
Hollow Output Rotary Actuator, Zero backlash
Nominal Torque from 27 Nm to 4006 Nm
The STR provides a solution for ultra-high precision, obtaining accuracies up to 20 arc-seconds. The STR allows an application to reach negligible backlash, maintain exceptional rigidity, and maximize control stability so that the desired output motion can be easily achieved. The design is truly a unique concept, utilizing a full contact screw-like transmission for high efficiency and elimination of wear. The unit provides maximum compactness using orthogonal axes and includes a large hollow shaft for flexibility.
The STR will most often incorporate either an inline (VRB) or right angle (EVB) reducer to achieve an additional reduction and simplify the connection to your servo motor. It is available in a number of housing sizes, and it can handle extremely large moment loads. The STR is an ideal fit for any automation or custom material handling integrator that requires the precision, rigidity, and repeatability that this servo rotary indexer can offer.

My great great great great great great great grandfather Joseph Greene was born in Ratcliff, Stepney, in the East End of London, in 1677, the son of mariner Captain William Greene and his wife Elizabeth. On 15 February 1692, when he was about 15 years old, Joseph was apprenticed to Joseph Strong, Citizen and Goldsmith. He was made free on 14 April 1708.
I've found the will of Joseph Strong, my ancestor's apprentice master, at the National Archives site, and starting from there, have begun to build up a picture of the man, his family, and the places where he lived and worked. Strong drew up his will on 14 April 1707, coincidentally (?) a year to the day before his apprentice Joseph Greene was 'made free'. The will was proven in September 1707 and Joseph Strong appears to have died some four months earlier: the parish records of St Katherine by the Tower state that on 30 May a man was buried in the church by the name of Joseph Strong of St Katherine Street, the cause of death being 'feaver' (sic).
Other records confirm Strong's association with St. Katherine's. On 14 December 1676 a Joseph Strong married Elizabeth Wyard in the church. She was probably the person of that name who was christened there in 1654, making her 22 when she married Joseph. There is a probate record for Richard Wyard from around the same time, suggesting that he died shortly after his daughter's birth.
I've found baptismal records for four children born to Joseph and Elizabeth, all at St Katherine's. Their first child, Ephraim, was christened on 16 May 1680. A daughter Elizabeth was christened there on 3 May 1683. Joseph junior was born in either 1684 or 1685, and Hannah or Anna on 22 January 1690. I assume Joseph didn't survive to adulthood, as he is the only child not mentioned in Joseph senior's will.
Joseph Strong's wife Elizabeth seems to have died a year before her husband (she is not mentioned in his will), and of the same cause, a 'feavour'. The parish register of St Katherine by the Tower records that, on 14 June 1706, a woman was buried in the church. There is then a gap where the Christian name should be, followed by the surname 'Strong' and the description 'wife of Mr Joseph Strong Goldsmith near mill bridge'.
Joseph Strong left the tools of his trade to his son Ephraim, so I assume that the latter was a goldsmith. He would have been 27 when his father died, but I can't find any apprenticeship, marriage or burial records for him. Nor can I find any further trace of Hannah or Anna Strong, who was 17 when her father died.
Joseph's will describes his daughter Elizabeth as the wife of Maidstone clockmaker Walter Harris (to whom, appropriately, Joseph left his own clock). Elizabeth and Walter were married at St Katherine's on 26 December 1702. Walter Harris, clockmaker, appears in an index of Maidstone freemen, named as the master of an apprentice named William Gill, who was made free in 1713. A Walter Harris of Maidstone is also listed as a constable in the Kent assize records for 1683, but the date is probably too early for 'our' Walter: it might be his father.
Joseph Strong's will also mentions his grandson, Joseph Harris, son of Walter and Elizabeth, who was yet to attain the age of maturity. There is evidence that the younger Joseph might have combined the trades of his father and grandfather, since the British Museum has in its collection a trade card for Joseph Harris, goldsmith and watchmaker of Maidstone, as well as this notice:
The will of Joseph Harris, goldsmith of Maidstone, can also be found in the National Archives. He seems to have married Katherine, daughter of George Green, and to have occupied premises, inherited from his father-in-law, in Stone Street, Maidstone. He died in 1743.
There appears to be a connection, evident in later records, between the Harris family and Earl Street Presbyterian Chapel in Maidstone (whose pulpit was once occupied by the father of William Hazlitt). I suspect that both the Harris and Strong families were Dissenters. I'm no expert in these matters, but the language used by both Joseph Strong and his grandson Joseph Harris in their wills suggests Nonconformist leanings. Strong, for example, commits his soul 'into the hands of Almighty God my Creator hopeing through the alone merits of Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to obtaine a full remission of all my transgressions and to be received into those mansions of bliss which he hath purchased and prepared for all true believers'. Giving one's children Old Testament names – such as Ephraim – was also a Nonconformist habit.
Joseph Strong's burial record states that he lived in St Catherine's Street, while the record for his wife Elizabeth places their home 'near mill bridge'. Mill Bridge does not appear on any contemporary maps but according to one source was located in 'St. Catherine's Thames Street'. Presumably this is identical with the St. Catherine's Street that is shown running alongside the Thames, to the east of the Tower, in Rocque's map of 1746. In his will, Joseph bequeaths to his son Ephraim 'all that my messuage or tenement and dwelling house I now live in with the bathhouse adjoining thereto which I hold by lease from the hospital of St Katherines'. This would suggest that the Strongs lived in the section of St Catherine's Street closest to the church, as shown on the map:
The full name of the church where members of the Strong family were christened, married and buried was the Royal Hospital and Collegiate Church of St Katherine by the Tower. A medieval foundation close to the Tower of London, it was unusual in not being dissolved at the Reformation, since it was personally owned and protected by the Queen Mother. It was re-established in Protestant form and grew to be a village offering sanctuary to immigrants and the poor, and consisting of over a thousand houses, crammed into narrow lanes. St Katherine's survived the various religious upheavals of the 17th and 18th centuries, and even hostility from extreme Protestants during the Gordon riots of 1780, but was completely demolished in 1825 to make way for the St Katherine Dock.
Joseph Strong's house and workshop would only have been a short distance from the corner of Little Tower Hill and the Minories, where his apprentice Joseph Greene would eventually set up his own business as a goldsmith and pawnbroker.

PEORIA — A child's lemonade stand was reportedly robbed of all its worth in Central Peoria Tuesday evening.
According to a police report, Walter C. Haddock of 2803 N. Renwood Ave. contacted police after his young daughter's lemonade stand had been completely stolen at around 5:30 p.m.
His daughter and a friend of his daughter's were running a lemonade stand in front of 2806 N. Renwood Ave, across the street from Haddock's house, for the afternoon. Haddock's daughter and friend had come into the Haddock house at 5:30 p.m. to eat pizza. When they came out to check on the stand at 5:50 p.m., the whole stand was gone.
The card table, lawn chair, blue cooler and the $10 they had made selling lemonade were reported missing in the police report. Police had no suspect as of Wednesday night.

As already pointed out in our other article
Striped Cord Shorts Vintage Havana Sale Latest Collections Cheap Visit Visit MhhDYVWbs2
, in today's world sharing is literally everything.
We have also learned how to use Office 365 to share personal calendars as well as create a common shared calendar (via shared mailbox ). What about contacts then?
It is possible to share contacts in Office 365, however available options are limited as compared to calendar sharing.
A major downside is that contacts folder sharing is not possible in OWA. To share your personal contacts you have to use MS Outlook. The process is pretty straightforward:
All selected in the invitation recipients receive a new message with the Open this Contacts Folder button on top. Once they click it – new contacts folder appears in Shared Contacts section of the People pane. The folder is named after the user who shared it.
Unfortunately, you can't open such invitation on OWA – opening shared contacts folder is not supported.
Sharing your personal contacts folder is not the only available method – you can also use a shared mailbox functionality. The process of creating the shared mailbox in Office 365 is identical to creating a group calendar.
Make sure you have administrative privileges, as they are required to do this:
You have just created a shared mailbox. A good thing is that for users specified as having full access to it, Outlook automatically displays shared folders of this mailbox. If the user opens the People pane in Outlook, there should be a contacts folder visible with the greyish name of the shared mailbox next to it.
Again, the problem arises if you want to use OWA. It simply does not support opening contacts folder from the shared mailbox. Outlook is the only option.
Sadly contacts are also more limited than calendar folders in this scenario. Sharing externally is available only when two organizations are federated.
Otherwise, it is only possible to work around this limitation using 3rd party tools. For instance,
CodeTwo Public Folders
lets you bridge separate Office 365 organizations by creating a virtual network of Microsft Outlook instances across multiple sites or domains (the only requirement is Internet access). With the program installed all users are able to

It is somewhat surprising that calendar sharing in Office 365 is treated better than contacts sharing. You can open a shared calendar in a web browser, use OWA to access or share it. You can even open a shared mailbox's calendar in OWA. Contact folders lack all of these features.
In the mobile age, BYOD world, and cloud era sharing is not just a buzz-word. It is a must. Contacts sharing is almost as important as email communication and as pointed out above, not so well implemented in Office 365. Let's hope that this will change soon.

North Americans Lag 65 Percent Behind Other Regions in Desire for Mobile Commerce; Emerging Countries Expressing Most Demand
WALLDORF, Germany — SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today announced additional results of a study conducted in 17 countries, highlighting an unmet demand for mobile commerce services, with more than eight out of 10 consumers asking for more mobile interactions with banks, telcos, retailers, utilities and other businesses. While the findings indicate that consumers want more commerce services through mobile phones universally, the drivers or barriers to further adoption of mobile purchasing vary within different countries and industries. Emerging markets such as South Africa, Saudi Arabia and China show a greater pace of change, with 96 percent of respondents expressing a desire to use their mobile to buy goods or services, compared to 59 percent in mature markets.* Overall, the study found that consumers would be more likely to increase their use of mobile commerce services if they had greater choice of payment methods (64 percent), if mobile payments were accepted by more retailers (51 percent), received regular order updates (41 percent) and if they were further incentivized by brands and services (32 percent).
The research shows consumers are using their mobile phones for an increasing range of mobile commerce services, including researching products, responding to promotions, customer service inquiries and submitting meter readings to utility companies. The study also reveals important insights about what holds consumers back from using more mobile commerce and services. Nearly half of the respondents globally (46 percent) indicated the hassle of having to enter a lot of personal information, security concerns (45 percent) and lack of Internet access at the time of transaction (43 percent) were factors.
"Consumers are now ready and demanding more mobile commerce services, and they also expect to engage with their mobile phones more simply and effectively," said Anthony Reynolds, senior vice president, Worldwide Mobile Sales and Solutions at SAP. "While progress is being made, companies must make a collective effort to provide consumers ease of use and benefits for mobile interactions and transactions, such as available technology, security and incentives. On its current trajectory, mobile occupies a tempting combination of an all-in-one communication channel, loyalty card, cash, location tracker and credit card, offering brands and companies the opportunity to connect to consumers either exclusively via mobile or as part of a multi-channel mix."
Consumers Want More Than E-Mail and Texting Via Mobile
The study highlights a shift from a mobile-centric world to a mobile commerce-centric mindset, in terms of the type of activities carried out via mobile, with 63 percent of consumers now using their mobile phone for activities other than just making calls and texting. Half of mobile phone users (50 percent) access the internet at least once a day via their mobile and nearly one third (32 percent) have used it to purchase products or services. The ability to use their mobile device any time of the day (51 percent), on the go (51 percent), with speed (50 percent) and with convenience (50 percent) are seen as clear benefits behind this increasing consumer adoption.
As available technology leads to growing levels of sophistication, consumers around the world are increasingly turning to mobile phones as a cornerstone for communication and transactions. Eighty percent of consumers agree that businesses should use any available technology to make life easier for their customers.
Industry Highlights
Research shows that ease of use is a core principle that will accelerate overall user adoption in retail, telecommunications and banking industries.
- Banking
- Excluding voice calls, half of mobile owners turn to their mobile devices to pay a bill (55 percent), make a bank transfer (52 percent) and set up a new account (48 percent)
- Providing services that are lower cost (25 percent) and personalized (22 percent) will encourage mobile owners to begin making or make more bank transfers through their mobile phone
- To learn more, see: "Newsbyte: SAP Research Shows Mobile Consumers Demand Mobile Banking 2.0 as They Embrace More Complex Transactions"
- Retail
- Retail is a key focus of mobile purchases with entertainment services (43 percent), music downloads (40 percent), books or e-books (40 percent) and attire (39 percent) all typical purchases
- Users are encouraged to buy goods using their mobile phone by lower cost services (29 percent), exclusive offers (25 percent) and coupons (22 percent)
- Telco
- Free minutes, texts and Web use (24 percent), personalized services (22 percent) and lower cost services (21 percent) will encourage consumers to use their mobile to check usage data for their mobile account
- More than half of users (52 percent) agree that their mobile payment activity will increase when they have more confidence in mobile security, with 39 percent requiring more confidence in how to use their mobile as a payment method

Yoga, homoeopathy to be integrated with healthcare in UPSeptember 17th, 2012 - 11:03 pm ICT by IANS
Lucknow, Sep 16 (IANS) All systems of medicine and healing, including ayurveda, homeopathy, naturopathy, as well as yoga would be integrated in the system in government hospitals and primary health centres across Uttar Pradesh.
The programme, officials here told IANS, would be funded under the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM).
In the first phase, an official said, yoga and a therapeutic healthcare option would be tested in 27 districts and would later be integrated with a parallel health plan that includes other systems of medicines such as unani, homoeopathy and ayurveda.
The project has been allocated Rs.25 crore, with the money also being utilised to purchase and distribute ayurvedic, unani and homoeopathic medicines.
The programme would be available at all government district hospitals, primary health centres (PHCs) and community health centres (CHCs).
The experiment would not only be keenly watched but would also be pathbreaking, an official said.
"Till now, the basis of all healthcare was largely the allopathic system. Something like this is being tried for the first time," an official said.
There are more than 3,500 PHCs and 600-plus CHCs in Uttar Pradesh. Now, they would have full-time and some part-time experts from the parallel systems of medicine.
Medicines, equipment and literature on the parallel systems would also be purchased.
While there are more than 3,000 doctors and pharmacists related to ayurveda, homoeopathy and yoga, sources say they are usually under-utilised.
"We hope things would change with the funding and clarity of focus," Rajeev Sharma, a homoeopath, said.
NRHM Director Mukesh Meshram admitted there could be "practical problems" in integrating parallel streams into the core healthcare system, but said: "Not only yoga, homoeopathy and ayurveda, we will also be promoting naturopathy."
Recently, the state government undertook a study on the effectiveness of homoeopathic treatment of acute encephalitis syndrome (AES).
If the results were useful in combating the disease, this could be taken up in a phased manner.
"Homoeopathy's successful battle against encephalitis in some AES-afflicted districts of Andhra Pradesh was studied and its assimilation in the state's initiative against AES was explored," an official said.
A proposal in this regard has been sent to the health department.
Earlier, a detailed study of the AES strains was undertaken in the Gorakhpur division and experts had suggested that the disease be treated with the "slow induction of homoeopathic medicines such as Baladona 100, 200 and Tuberculum," the official added.
Experts say the homoeopathic treatment may help in not only combating AES post-contraction but preventing its spread.

In Part 1, I started talking about using Red-Gate's newest version of SQL Source Control and how I really like it as a viable method to source control your database development. It looks like this is going to turn into a little series where I will explain how we have done things in the past, and how life is different with SQL Source Control. I will also explain some of my philosophy and methodology around deployment with these tools. But for now, let's talk about some of the good and the bad of the tool itself.
More Kudos and Features I mentioned previously how impressed I was with the responsiveness of Red-Gate's team. I have been having an ongoing email conversation with Gyorgy Pocsi, and as I have run into problems or requested things behave a little differently, it has not been more than a day or two before a new Build is ready for me to download and test. Quite impressive!
I'm sure much of the requests I put in were already in the plans, so I can't really take credit for them, but throughout this conversation, Red-Gate has implemented several features that were not in the first Early Access version. Those include:
These were all features that I felt we really needed to have in-place before I could honestly consider converting my team to using SQL Source Control on a regular basis. Now that I have those, my only excuse is not wanting to switch boats on the team mid-stream. So when we wrap up our current release in a few weeks, we will make the jump. In the meantime, I will continue to bang on it to make sure it is stable. It passed one test for stability when I did a test load of one of our larger database schemas into Fortress with SQL Source Control. That database has about 150 tables, 200 User-Defined Functions and nearly 900 Stored Procedures. The initial load to source control went smoothly and took just a brief amount of time.
Warnings Remember that this IS still in pre-release stage and while I have not had any problems after that first hiccup I wrote about last time, you still need to treat it with a healthy respect. As I understand it, the RTM is targeted for February. There are a couple more features that I hope make it into the final release version, but if not, they'll probably be coming soon thereafter. Those are:
Automation has its limits. As cool as this automation is, it has its limits and there are some changes that you will be better off scripting yourself. For example, if you are refactoring table definitions, and want to change a column name, you can write that as a quick sp_rename command and preserve the data within that column. But because this tool is looking just at a before and after picture, it cannot tell that you just renamed a column. To the tool, it looks like you dropped one column and added another. This is not a knock against Red-Gate. All automated scripting tools have this issue, unless the are actively monitoring your every step to know exactly what you are doing. This means that when you go to Deploy your changes, SQL Compare will script the change as a column drop and add, or will attempt to rebuild the entire table. Unfortunately, neither of these approaches will preserve the existing data in that column the way an sp_rename will, and so you are better off scripting that change yourself. Thankfully, SQL Compare will produce warnings about the potential loss of data before it does the actual synchronization and give you a chance to intercept the script and do it yourself.
Also, please note that the current official word is that SQL Source Control supports Vault Professional 5.1 and later. Vault Professional is the new name for what was previously known as Fortress. (You can read about the name change on SourceGear's site.) The last version of Fortress was 2.x, and the API for Fortress 2.x is different from the API for Vault Pro. At my company, we are currently running Fortress 2.0, with plans to upgrade to Vault Pro early next year. Gyorgy was able to come up with a work-around for me to be able to use SQL Source Control with Fortress 2.0, even though it is not officially supported. If you are using Fortress 2.0 and want to use SQL Source Control, be aware that this is not officially supported, but it is working for us, and you can probably get the work-around instructions from Red-Gate if you're really, really nice to them.
Upcoming Topics Some of the other topics I will likely cover in this series over the next few weeks are:

With his FX sitcom Anger Management half-way through its initial 10-episode run, Charlie Sheen say it's poised to get an order for 90 more. Sheen told reporters Saturday that the prospect of continuing is as "exciting as hell," and added cheerily, "I don't think 90's gonna be enough."
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Charlie Sheen says he's not insane anymore.
Instead, these are good days for the "Anger Management" star, he declares, with his FX sitcom half-way through its initial 10-episode run and poised to get an order for 90 more.
Sheen told reporters Saturday that the prospect of continuing is as "exciting as hell," and added cheerily, "I don't think 90's gonna be enough."
With the expected pickup, FX plans to bring aboard Sheen's dad, Martin Sheen, as a recurring cast member. He will play the father of Charlie Goodson, the anger-management therapist played by Charlie Sheen. The veteran movie actor, who also played President Jed Bartlet on the drama series "The West Wing," is guest-starring on an "Anger Management" episode that airs Aug. 16.
"I think that was the best episode we did," his son said.
Adding Sheen's father to the series "will give an extra dimension and make it a multi-generational family show," FX boss John Landgraf said in making the announcement.
The production schedule would call for filming a total of 100 episodes in just two years. This kind of cost-saving routine means no time for rehearsals, said executive producer Bruce Helford.
"The actors get the lines, we see the scene, the writers make changes, the actors go to makeup, cameras are blocked, we come back together and shoot the scene," he explained.
At first, the cast members "felt like basically they were on the ledge. But by the third episode, everyone found the characters to the point that the writers were following their lead," Helford said.
"I feel like how we started, we just scratched the surface – barely," said Sheen, who arrived for his appearance at the Television Critics Association session clad in Bermuda shorts, a long-sleeve shirt and loafers without socks.
He likened his tumultuous departure from "Two and a Half Men" and the stormy aftermath last year to a dream he couldn't wake up from. Or like "a train I couldn't get off of, except that I was the conductor," he added, speaking in quick bursts and fidgeting in his chair.
He said he learned a lot from that period, including "stick to what you know." Referring to his disastrous "My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not an Option" tour in spring 2011, he got laughs from the group when he advised, "Don't go on the road with a one-man show in 21 cities without an act. "
"I'm not insane anymore," he summed up.
What's different now from Sheen's angry stretch on "Men," characterized by his much-publicized clashes with series creator Chuck Lorre?
Helford weighed in with a theory. On "Men," he ventured, "Charlie didn't really have a voice with creative input. It wasn't built that way."
On "Anger Management," Helford said he's forged a partnership with his star.
"We built this together," he said. "And when Charlie's on the stage, that's his stage. When you feel that, your creative juices are flowing, everything is better for you, because you have a say in what you're doing.
"When you don't control your destiny, things get screwed up in your head," he said as Sheen nodded.
On "Anger Management," Charlie Goodson thrives on chaos. Sheen was asked if he does, too, or if he longs for a simpler life.
"I can wish every minute for a simple life. It's not gonna happen," Sheen replied. "But I don't really look at it as chaos. I look at it as challenges."

Nicki Minaj, Ciara & Future Join DJ Khaled On The 'I Wanna Be With You' Video Set
It was one big happy family on the Miami set of DJ Khaled's "I Wanna Be With You" music video. The song, off Khaled's seventh LP Suffering From Success, features Nicki Minaj, Future and Rick Ross.
Last month, Khaled publicly "proposed" to his fellow Cash Money rapper Nicki Minaj, who brushed off the "proposal" as "not serious." In any case, the stunt was a good lead up to a track that ended up being called "I Wanna Be With You," which features Minaj.
Ciara joined the "I Wanna Be With You" crew on set, snapping photos with Minaj and her current beau Future. Check out photos from the "I Wanna be With You" video shoot and after-party, courtesy of Ciara and Nicki Minaj's Instagram, in the gallery that follows.

The final session of the week opened against a background wherein fresh credit-rating pain fell on Spain again (this time with a two-notch two-punch by S&P). The country reported sliding retail sales, and worst of all, an unemployment figure some three times the percentage of that of the US – 24%. The markets remained subdued however following this latest ominous development in Europe. Players appeared focused on the imminent release of US first-quarter GDP estimates.
The data confirmed some of the dovish stance manifest in Mr. Bernanke's press conference a couple of days ago. The US reported a 2.2% rate of growth in Q1 (against the 2.7% that was anticipated by economists). Growth was somewhat hampered by a decline in business spending and the government sector, but was at the same time boosted by strong spending among consumer and by rising exports.
The US dollar and stock index futures frowned upon the GDP estimate and headed lower. The development may give gold players another chance at trying to go for the assault on the $1,660-$1,675 resistance area provided the dollar keeps at lower levels and provided the euro does not suffer too much in the wake of the Spanish debacle.
Spot gold dealings started off with a modest, $1.30 per ounce decline in New York. Bullion was bid at $1,655.80 on the open. Silver climbed four cents to the $31.13 mark per ounce. Platinum added $3 at $1,568 while palladium rose $1 to $672 the ounce. No changes were reported in rhodium at $1,350 per ounce. Other commodities appeared flat with oil stalled at $104.50 a barrel, copper marking time at $3.83 (a three-week high) and aluminium advancing 1%. Chinese markets are closed Monday and Tuesday while those in Japan are on hiatus on Monday. All of the precious metals currently appear to be stuck in range-trading patterns.
Speaking of some of the base and noble metals, if there is one good thing to possibly anticipate from the emergent shift in China's economic profile, it might be the fact that certain metals will benefit from it. The risk of a hard landing in China is still on the table and could impact the demand for copper, silver, steel, etc.
However, the macro-level shift away from exports and capital investment towards domestic consumption and growth based on same bodes well for some very specific commodities. Among these would be palladium, nickel, aluminium, coffee, and other items related to rising living standards. Bloomberg News identifies the Chinese car market as pivotal for palladium demand, now that the country has surpassed the US one in size three years ago.
Well, Wednesday came and went, and depending on what one wanted to hear or to read, there was an ample amount of post-Fed meeting headlines to choose from, or to become further confused by. For instance, if one was leaning towards the paradigm that the Fed is slowly turning away from its hitherto highly accommodative monetary policy stance, there was MwMstory available to parse.
In fact, gold prices at one point on Wednesday dipped to lows near $1,625 on just such perceptions. Mr. Bernanke himself underscored the unlikelihood of further, careless QE dole-outs by saying that it would be "reckless" to pursue inflation-yielding policies that might offer only "doubtful gains" to an already recovering US economy (almost sounding like a GOP poster-boy there).
On the other hand, if one desperately wanted to hear something dovish coming from the Fed, well, there were stories to suit that "mood" on tap as well. After all, some will say that even after leaving policy on hold Mr. Bernanke also promised that the Fed remains "prepared to do more as needed to make sure that this recovery continues and that inflation stays close to [the 2%] target," and that "additional bond buying is still very much on the table." Based on that take, gold prices not only recovered from the lows they touched the other day, but were able to stage a decent bounce all the way up to the $1,660 area on Thursday.
But let's leave Mr. Bernanke's words out of the equation for a minute and dissect that which his team members communicated to the markets via their individual projections. In the wake of the FOMC meeting we have learned that while only five officials felt that short-term rates ought to rise to 2% or higher prior to the end of 2014, this time around there were seven policymakers who shared that view and more than half of the US central bank's officials envision rates climbing past 1% by that same time.
Perennially hawkish holdout Jeffrey Lacker (Richmond Fed President) once again voted against the group and said that economic progress in the US justifies hiking rates sooner than that. Let us however not lose track of the fact that the fed-funds rate expectations are for 4% or higher within about five years' time, and that only four out of seventeen Fed officials project 0.25% to be still on the table by the end of 2014.
