"The ITC has banned Company X from importing some models of Phone A and Tablet B because they infringe on a Company Y patent. In a cease and desist order issued today, the International Trade Commission ordered Company X to stop importing AT&T models of the Phone A, the Phone B and C, the Tablet A, and the Tablet B into the US." Commentary if you're cheering for Company X: it's entirely unfair to ban entire products just because of infringement on a single patent. The patent system sucks! Commentary if you're cheering for Company Y: Company X are a bunch of thieves who never invent anything on their own. The patent system is a great thing that protects American companies. Up next week: role reversal, regurgitation of the same 'arguments', just the other way around! Ugh.

The Scottish Football Association began the search for a new national team manager after sacking Levein on November 5.
Souness, who ruled himself out of the running, also believes Gordon Strachan has the credentials for the job, but says he would opt for Jordan.
Jordan has managed Bristol City, Hearts and Stoke City and most recently worked as first-team coach under Harry Redknapp at Tottenham Hotspur.
Souness said: "I think your man is Joe Jordan. He would be my choice if I was making the decision. He's an obvious candidate. Everyone knows the passion that Joe showed when he was a player. He would be perfect. He fits the bill.
"He's knowledgeable, he has worked at the highest level, played at the highest level and is extremely passionate. He's your man.
"Joe would obviously do things differently; whoever gets the job will do it differently.
"He has vast experience at international level and has operated in the highest league down in England for the last 10 years, working with good people.
"He's extremely knowledgeable and he's an intelligent football man."
Strachan was quickly installed as the bookmakers' favourite for the role and Souness added: "He's another real genuine candidate. In fact, him and Joe would be the outstanding candidates."
However, there is no chance of the former Liverpool and Rangers manager throwing his own hat into the ring.
Souness was on a four-man shortlist when Levein's predecessor George Burley landed the job but has no interest this time around.
Asked if he would be open to an approach from the SFA, he said: "No, it's not for me.
"I'm older, not necessarily wiser, but I'm certainly older and I just feel it's not for me at this time. It's not something I would consider."
Levein was sacked following a poor start to the World Cup qualifying campaign, which left Scotland bottom of the group without a win after four matches.
Souness added: "Management full stop is very hard, but when you're the manager of a national team it's not as though you can go out and buy players. You've got a group of players and you've got to make the most of it.
"There is an element of luck in every football match and sometimes it doesn't go for you.
"I wouldn't be critical of Craig Levein in any shape or form, but I can fully understand why the SFA felt they had to make a change.
"Craig might look back and think he could have done things differently but it's a hard, hard job.
"When you think of the game in Cardiff last month (a 2-1 defeat to Wales), it was hard on Scotland.
"I don't think we played badly in the first half, we had a perfectly good goal disallowed and those are things that can get you the sack. Little daft decisions like that can get you the sack.
"Management is a hard job but you know when you go into management there is a real chance you are going to end up with the sack. I'm sure Craig was fully aware of that when he went into the job."
Despite ruling himself out of the running, Souness does not believe the Scotland job is now a poisoned chalice.
He said: "Without being critical of the present group of players, it's not the most talented group of players Scotland have ever had. But there are some very good players in there and they all appear to give their all when I watch them play.
"You just need a little bit of belief, a bit of luck, and that can change everything. You go on a roll and then you become a very difficult team to play against.
"The last Scotland game I came to was against Italy here at Hampden. We should have beaten Italy that day and, with a bit of luck, we would have done.
"The margins are so fine and you just need that little bit of edge sometimes and I don't think Craig enjoyed that. I think he was a bit unfortunate."

Judge loosens restrictions on media in reporting jury details
December 04. 2012 10:58AM
MANCHESTER - A Hillsborough County Superior Court judge this morning loosened restrictions on media reporting about the jury in the attempted murder case of Myles Webster, the 23-year-old man accused of shooting Manchester Police Officer Daniel Doherty earlier this year.
Hillsborough County Superior Court North Judge Gillian Abramson backed off a toughly worded restriction on reporting of the jury, after the New Hampshire Union Leader challenged an order she issued last week.
In today's order, Abramson broadened permissible descriptions of the jury to include race and ethnicity. She had previously said reporters had to limit descriptions of the jury to gender, approximate age and general occupation. The judge did so, she said, to protect the privacy of jurors and the integrity of the process.
She had ordered that "no other information shall be published," and cited a 1995 ruling that said a judge has inherent power to control every aspect of a court proceeding. Today's ruling restricts the publication of "information that reasonably would lead to the identification of a juror."
Webster, who is a minority, is accused of shooting a white police officer, and under Abramson's original restrictions, media could not have reported the racial composition of the jury. Also, her restrictions would have prevented the reporting of jurors who doze off, appear distracted or make gestures or hand signals.
In his challenge to Abramson's ruling, Union Leader attorney Gregory Sullivan cited a 1990 U.S. First Circuit Court ruling that reads: "Knowledge of juror identities allows the public to verify the impartiality of key participants in the administration of justice, and thereby ensures fairness, the appearance of fairness and public confidence in that system."

The Union of Choice for Senior Managers
and Professionals in Public Service
17 August 2012(For immediate release)
Commenting on yesterday's report by HM Chief Inspector of Prosecution in Scotland, which stated that prosecutors are not preparing thoroughly for summary cases, FDA Scottish Secretary Jim Caldwell said:
"This report clearly exposes the concerns over staffing levels that the FDA has been highlighting for the last two years, to Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) management and in our October 2011 evidence to the Scottish Government's Justice Committee.
"Ministers cannot continue to expect staff to shore up their failure to retain adequate staffing levels in the Service. The Scottish Government made it a priority to protect the current number of police officers, while the number of prosecutors has reduced. Without enough prosecutors and support staff the legal system will not operate effectively. Our Justice Committee evidence of October 2011 stated that the backlog of cases to be assessed by prosecutors was rising, and to date it continues to grow.
"We know that COPFS management have introduced new technology and restructured the Service in an effort to cope with reducing staff numbers, but at a time when we are being asked to do more and more, it is about time that Ministers listened to frontline staff and properly committed to ensuring the resilience of Scotland's prosecution service."
Notes for editors

Tobacco, steamboats focus of Library exhibit
(Sept. 10, 2001)
— Eastern North Carolina's early days of steamboats, tobacco and the events leading up to the start of East Carolina University can be seen in a photo and documents collection exhibited on the Internet by East Carolina University's Joyner Library.
The exhibit is at http://www.lib.ecu.edu/exhibits/. The site provides glimpses of eastern North Carolina a hundred years ago when steamboats were popular for travel and trade, tobacco turned into the state's "golden crop" and ECU glimmered in the eyes of politicians and town council members.
An opening celebration for new interactive display will be held in Joyner Library on Thursday Sept. 20 at 2 p.m. in the Special Collections area. The public is invited.
"Descendents of people who lived in eastern North Carolina around the turn of the 20th century are encouraged to attend the opening celebration," said Diane Williams of the library's staff.
She said that most longtime eastern North Carolina families have been touched in some way by the history covered in the exhibits that show photographs, post cards, old newspaper articles, pamphlets, letters, census entries and other historical information.
Some of items include the first tobacco barn in the county that was built on the farm of Jacob Joyner in 1886. Before the plaster had dried, J. T. Seat, an agricultural agent, scratched his initials in it.
In the 1890's Greenville's "Eastern Reflector" printed an article about how the community had raised funds to buy a gold-headed walking cane for "G.F. Evans, the pioneer tobacco farmer of Pitt in recognition of his efforts in the tobacco culture of Pitt County."
There are stories about the steamboat "Bertie" that carried passengers, freight and mail on the eastern rivers that empty into Albemarle Sound. One printed notice on display advertises an "excursion" for "all who are interested in pretty girls, music and flowers" to Murfreesboro to attend the Commencement of the Wesleyan Female College.
Competition with neighboring towns marked the start of East Carolina Teachers Training School. Greenville's selection followed a successful bond referendum and the approval by the State Board of Education. Photos of the ground breaking for the school along with photos of faculty and students are on display in the exhibits.
The Eastern North Carolina Digital History Exhibits was prepared as part of the N.C. Exploring Cultural Heritage Online (NC ECHO) project for the N.C. Department of Cultural Resources. The purpose of the project is to make historical information from the state's museums, library archives and historical societies readily available to the public over the Internet.

The throat, or pharynx, is a tubelike passageway that separates into the breathing and digestive tracts. It is made of smooth muscle and lined with a mucous membrane. The throat facilitates speech by changing shape to allow the formation of vowel sounds. It also contains openings for the hearing (eustachian) tubes, nasal space (posterior pares), larynx, gullet (esophagus), and the tonsils.
Most sore throats are caused by viruses or bacteria. Other causes may be a local irritation, such as exposure to cigarette smoke, environmental pollutants, dust, or dry winter air. A long episode of screaming may give rise to a sore throat. A sore throat can also be caused by an abscess in the back of the throat or on the tonsils.
Childhood sore throats occur most often in late winter and early spring. A sore
throat may be accompanied by a head cold, runny nose, or ear infection. The
majority of sore throats are minor viral illnesses that can be treated easily
at home. However, about one-third of childhood sore throats are diagnosed as
"strep" throat, an infection caused by the bacteria Streptococcus.
The strep bacteria is highly contagious and persistent. Strep throat can run
through a family like wildfire. The distinguishing signs and symptoms of strep
infection, as opposed to a viral infection, are not always consistent.
Definitive diagnosis of a strep infection must therefore be based on a
throat culture. But there are some general features that can help you make
an initial evaluation of your child's sore throat.
If your child's symptoms are characteristic of a strep infection, call your
physician. Your doctor can then diagnose your child's condition by performing
a throat culture and prescribe appropriate treatment. Because the streptococcus
bacteria is so highly contagious, it may be wise to check other family members
for strep symptoms, too. If left untreated, a strep infection can lead to a
number of complications. The most serious of these is rheumatic fever, an
inflammatory disease that can cause heart damage. If you have a child who has already had a case of rheumatic fever, call your physician immediately if she develops a sore throat of any kind.
A strep infection may also be accompanied by scarlet fever. This illness begins with a fever, sore throat, headache, and possibly vomiting. Twelve hours to two days after symptoms begin, the child will develop a characteristic red rash that feels like fine sandpaper to the touch. The rash usually appears first on the neck, under the arms, behind the knees, and in the groin area, and then it spreads to the extremities. It lasts for about seven days, after which the skin begins to peel or flake off. Another common sign of scarlet fever is a red, swollen "strawberry tongue." If you suspect your child's sore throat may be related to a case of scarlet fever, call your physician.
Conventional Treatment
A throat culture provides the only conclusive diagnosis of streptococcus infection. Using a swab, the physician gently removes mucus from the back of the throat for examination. In a modern laboratory, a culture can be done very quickly, and the results can be in your doctor's hands within twenty-four hours. A chemically based test, known as "quick-strep," can give a tentative answer in fifteen to twenty minutes. This test is only 85- to 90-percent accurate, however, and will miss a few cases. A quick-strep test should therefore always be backed up with a regular throat culture, especially when the initial results are negative. A newer test, called Strep OIA, also gives a result in fifteen minutes, but is more sensitive. According to the manufacturer, BioStar Medical Products, it yields accurate results and no backup throat culture is required.

Portraits, Self Portraits, and Masksby Simran Singh Gleason
I take it as an artistic goal of mine to be able to draw portraits well. To be able to capture likeness in a few lines. To be able to capture a feeling, an expression. These are difficult tasks. I have a long way to go.
I find self portraits are easier for me. Perhaps because I spend more time drawing self portraits than portraits of others. I've heard it said that everything an artist draws is a self portrait in some way. Even landscapes?
I guess you could say this is quite a revealing show for me. Here are some of my self portraits, and several series of masks that I have been drawing. I am beginning to become obsessed with the idea of masks. As overlays to persona. As primal invocations of deep elementals. A way to hide. A way to come out into society; to contribute.

The Celeste III and Concord III were distinctive for their industrial design, the all-round black grille cloth and matching ULS 1 and 2 single pedestal stands allowing them to stand out from the conventional square wooden boxes of the time.
Concord III was one of the first 'two and a half way' designs – two 8" bass drivers being operated vertically in line at low frequencies. This arrangement improves power handling and reduces distortion at low frequencies. The response of the lower unit is progressively reduced as the frequency rises so that only the upper unit is radiating in the crossover region. By this means it is possible to retain the advantage of twin drivers at the low end of the range without the phase interference effects usually associated with multiple drive units.
Celeste III was an 8" two way closed box design with newly developed drivers and a sophisticated crossover network. Both models were designed for use with music centres and amplifiers with as little power as 10 watts per channel and benefited from KEF's total design concept and digital evaluation techniques.
The B200 bass drivers for the Celeste III and Concord III featured a new three-sided chassis specifically designed to be mechanically isolated from the cabinet – the first example of driver decoupling in the KEF range. They were also the first KEF bass drivers to use a paper diaphragm – by this time paper diaphragms were being manufactured with good consistency and the lower moving mass contributed to the high sensitivity target for these systems.

Kay Filice's just-completed term as board chair of the Grower-Shipper Association of Central California, Salinas, Calif. made history in more ways than one.
She was not only the first woman to head the 68-year-old organization, but during her term the industry forged the unprecedented leafy green agreement in response to perhaps the biggest food safety issue ever to hit the fresh produce industry.
Filice, president, Filice Farms, Hollister, Calif., grows onions, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, celery, and bing cherries on 1,400 acres in San Benito County. She's deeply concerned about the current downturn in the valley's leafy green industry caused in part by decreased consumer demand that has kept produce prices soft.
"We have stood by and watched field after field be partially disked this spring and summer due to the oversupply of lettuce," Filice said. "You can drive around this valley and you'd be surprised by the number of romaine fields being disked."
Today immigration reform, water availability, and food safety are among the front burner issues at the GSA headquarters. The first discussions on food safety began several years before the 2006 E. coli outbreak. After the outbreak such meetings were held almost daily.
Established in 1930, the GSA is an agricultural trade association with about 300 members providing services, programs, and representation in Monterey, Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, and San Benito counties. The membership role includes growers, shippers, harvesting companies, packers, processors, seed companies, carton companies, and related associate member organizations.
California's worsening water supply emergency is tightening the faucet on Filice's crop production prospects. Her federal water allocation is 40 percent of normal which has pushed her to seek alternative water solutions.
"I have several wells and recently drilled another one that's very productive that will help makeup a portion of the water loss." She's also purchased unused federal water from neighbors. Due to widespread water reductions, the wait time to drill a new well is now 6-12 months.
Filice pays $117 per acre foot including transportation costs for federal allocated water, less than water costs in the Central Valley, which range from $450-$550 per acre foot for open market water, in part tied to the controversial federal court ruling last year on the endangered Delta smelt.
"That's why some farmers in the Central Valley aren't farming; instead they are selling their water," Filice said. "California is growing by 500,000 people a year, yet there has not been one penny spent on infrastructure in the state in over 20 years. We don't have the storage capacity. Our water services aren't capable of servicing that kind of population much less the water needs in agriculture."
Filice called the water supply outlook grim. If legislation is passed to build new storage, it would take 10 years or longer before an effective resolution could become reality. Water is a long-term problem, she said.
The uncertainty over water supplies will likely decrease Filice's leafy green plantings from double cropping to single planting in some fields. She credits her farm management team for successful water saving measures including ground and sub-surface drip irrigation.
"My staff knows exactly how much water they are using. Sometimes in agriculture that's not always the case," Filice said. "My staff has 30 years of experience and knows how much water the ground will hold and the amount of water required to grow the crop."
Food safety is a large blip on Filice's radar screen as she serves on the Center of Produce Safety's board at the University of California, Davis.
"You would think with all the food safety issues with China with fish, pet food, and toys that people in this country would be more concerned about inspections and importing food from other countries. I think food grown in California is the highest quality food currently grown in the nation."
Filice said the establishment of the LGMA was unprecedented and a good first step in further advancing food safety to ensure consumer confidence. While she hopes the agreement will be enacted nationally, it's not a "one-size-fits-all"; it should be commodity or regionally specific.
Filice in May handed the GSA gavel to Dennis Donohue, president, Royal Rose LLC, Salinas, Calif., the flamboyant, outspoken, pro-agriculture mayor of Salinas. Royal Rose is the world's largest grower of the Italian chicory radicchio used in salads, pastas, and risotto. Dennis is the latest Donohue family member to serve as the GSA chair.
The effective orator, farmer, and Salinas leader desires to further increase the visibility of the GSA and Salinas Valley agriculture during his term as chair through advancing concepts he calls "fresh culture and lifestyle destination."
"We have to sell our freshness," Donohue said. "The Silicon Valley is the intellectual nerve center for high tech industry; the Salinas Valley is the intellectual nerve center for fresh vegetables and value added."
"I want to focus on the fresh laboratory and fresh culture. They will be my twin pillars to talk about as board chairman in addition to the day to day issues that arise," Donohue said.
The Salinas Valley has been playing defense for the last couple years; it's time to play offense, Donohue said. "I'm really convinced as mayor that our best days lay ahead."
The Salinas Valley is the world's freshest garden. Just because it's big and efficient doesn't mean the vegetables are not fresh, Donohue said.
"The vegetable industry can learn a lesson from the wine industry's success in creating mystique and romance with wines," Donohue suggests. "The vegetable industry should focus more on why these products are important to the country and the health of its citizens. It boils down to marketing."

Seattle's Dan Closser rides these memorable Lynnwood trails that were torn down this past year. Dude's smooth flow and dialed trail skills are worth checking out.
A few words from Tyler Deschaine, who made this edit: "I've wanted to film an edit with Dan Closser ever since I first rode with him years back. I gotta say Dan is one of the smoothest riders around. His silent bike and dialed trail skills actually make it hard to film him. You can never hear when he's coming down the line! We all had a rough fall this year losing our spot Lynnwood, so this edit has a deeper meaning that most would know. But one thing is for sure, Dan killed every line there, and this edit highlights that.
Big deep heart felt thank you goes out to all Shovel and the Lynnwood locals that helped make that place what it was. This project wouldn't have been possible without all of you!
Also a shout out to Kurt, Project, and Cale at Solstice, the Dart locals and Black Diamond!"

Shannon R. Wooden (B.A. '93, M. A. '95 Missouri State University; Ph.D. 2001, University of North Carolina) specializes in British literature and teaches a wide variety of courses, from the Romantic/Victorian/20th century survey, to Critical Approaches to Literature, to upper-level courses in eighteenth and nineteenth century lit, as well as Introduction to Literature and Creative Writing: Fiction. From her dissertation work on Darwinian evolution and race science in Victorian novels, much of her research has had to do with literature and science: after teaching in social medicine departments and participating in a Narrative Medicine workshop at Columbia University, she has further focused on the intersections between literature and medicine. Two recent articles deal with narrative medicine readings of Dostoevsky's "A Gentle Creature" and Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, respectively focusing on empathic reading as a worthy goal for literary pedagogy, and, through medical paradigms, one performable with critical rigor. She has also published on Victorian women's sensation fiction, the 1990s film adaptations of several Jane Austen novels, Romantic and Victorian abolitionist poetry, and representations of gender in the Pixar movies; her current book project, with co-author Ken Gillam, analyzes postfeminist boy culture as represented by Disney-Pixar.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Casino tycoon and GOP super donor Sheldon Adelson delivered a business lesson on Monday during testimony in a multimillion dollar breach of contract case.
Wrapping up three days on the witness stand, Adelson told an attentive jury how he had built his $6.5 billion empire in the Chinese gambling enclave of Macau.
Dressed sharply in a gray suit and purple tie, and sipping from an oversized coffee cup, the Las Vegas Sands CEO said he saw the same kind of opportunity in Macau in the early 2000s as he had in Las Vegas a decade earlier.
"This industry is a supply driven industry," said Adelson, 79, who is ranked as the ninth richest American by Forbes. "Like the movie 'Field of Dreams,' build it and they will come."
The reclusive mogul presented a more combative face last week, when he spent nine hours under questioning by the legal team representing Richard Suen.
The Hong Kong businessman is suing Sands for $328 million that he claims he is owed for working behind the scenes to help the company win a Macau gambling license.
On Monday, the sometimes tense Las Vegas courtroom took on the feel of a casual business school seminar. Under cross-examination, Adelson spun a tale of risk and reward, interrupted only occasionally by questions from his own attorney.
"It was a swamp. That's where they wanted us to build," Adelson said about the first time he saw the strip of reclaimed land in Macau that now contributes 60 percent of his company's profits.
He pleaded ignorance about the exact profit Sands has reaped from its four casinos in Macau. But he acknowledged the company has done very well on the former Portuguese island that has become the world's biggest gambling mecca.
Last year, Adelson and his wife donated nearly $100 million to Republican causes.
After his testimony, the diminutive Adelson told The Associated Press he noticed the jury had been more attentive on Monday than during the previous week.
Adelson's prickly two days of testimony last week were marked by one moment of high drama. The CEO almost caused a mistrial by flashing unauthorized evidence — brightly colored vintage brochures from his convention business — at the jury.
Sands' attorneys said they had advised him against the stunt. On Monday, Adelson declined to comment on his motivations.
"I can't discuss that; we're in the middle of the trial," he said.
It's the second time Adelson has appeared as the star witness in this case. A jury found for Suen in 2008, but the verdict was thrown out on appeal because hearsay evidence was admitted.
Under oath in the current trial, Adelson acknowledged that the chief operating officer of Sands had agreed in 2001 to pay Suen a "success fee" of $5 million, plus 2 percent of the company's profits from its Macau casinos.
Adelson said he had been unaware of the offer. He also testified that Sands ultimately won the license on its own merits.
On Monday, Judge Rob Bare took the unusual step of allowing jurors to ask their own questions. Most declined to interrogate the intimidating tycoon, whose entourage took up nearly an entire side of the courtroom.
One juror, however, asked three questions, including how Adelson could have been unaware of what his chief operating officer William Weidner was doing. Adelson responded with another page from his business textbook:
"When I was younger, I used to micromanage. But when you have a company of this size, you can't," he said, later adding, "It would be an expression of distrust."
Weidner, who was fired by Adelson in 2009, is expected to testify later this week.
Before he left the stand, Adelson urged the jury not to hold his success against him.
"Even the wealthy deserve justice," he said.

Reversible Cutout Maxi Dress is rated out of 5 by 5.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Linda13 from beautiful dress I originally saw this dress in the store weeks ago on one of the sales associates and loved it. However, I didn't end up purchasing it then for some reason. I ended up purchasing it online last week and love it! The fabric feels great and is super comfortable. I will have to get it hemmed as I'm 5'2 and I would have to wear some pretty tall heels and I would like to have the option of wearing flats or heels with it. I love the slit on the side and how you have two ways to wear this.

Rated 3 out of 5 by MsLolaGrace from Undecided I got this bc I loved that it could be worn both ways. When I it arrived & I tried it on the cutouts are slightly off for my body. I wish they were a lil lower. Also w/ the openings in the front it was way too revealing ¬ enough coverage on my boobs. Again on me, maybe a smaller size chest wouldn't have this problem. Also I like to wear flat sandals w/ maxi dresses & keep it casual. This is long on me, I'd have to wear heels which makes it too dressy for me. I like that its different not not sure when I'll be wearing it or if it will sit in my closet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by E1282011 from Two in one! I just bought this dress today and I LOVE it. I was looking on the website to see how to clean it, and i realized they didn't note a few things about the dress. first of all, there is a fabulous slit in the side, which I think is necessary on a long dress such as this one. Also, the tag on the dress says you can wear it two different ways, 1. is how it is shown on the website 2. with the open back as the front of the dress. It looks like a deep plunge with little cutouts below. I have a pretty large bust (full 34C) and it covers me nicely. This version isn't extravagantly sexy, but still very chic. The material is extremely light and soft; it is very mild and non-irritating. It may look heavy, but it is almost like a light cotton T-shirt. It looks GREAT on and you will really love it! I would definitely recommend and I know I will be loaning this to my girlfriends once they see it!

Since the announcement of Jon and Kate Gosselin's divorce proceedings on their reality show Jon & Kate Plus 8, a lot has happened. Besides being on the cover of every tabloid magazine, the couple has moved in opposite directions. Their show, which was placed on hiatus, is set to return on Aug 3rd.
With the return of the show, viewers can expect to see Jon & Kate taking on new responsibilities.
"You'll see Jon struggle in the kitchen trying to make pizza for his kids," TLC General Manager and President Eileen O'Neill said at the Television Critics the panel in Pasadena, Calif., on Thursday. "You'll see what it's like when Kate has to put a tent up for the first time for her kids, who love to camp in their backyard. And she gets a little advice from her daughter who doesn't think she does it quite as well as dad."
Viewers will see Jon and Kate date, O'Neill said.
"The show comes back on Monday and most new episodes remain a work in progress," she went on. "But I will tell you: the iconic couch is gone. Jon and Kate will now have separate chairs for their interview.
It is not clear if the "new women" in Jon's life – gossip reporter Kate Major and Hailey Glassman will be featured on the show. According to a recent interview with PEOPLE, Jon disclosed that he is single and doesn't plan to introduce anyone he's dating to his kids.
According to the producers, viewers will continue to see two parents that love their kids even though they will be parenting separately.
According to our poll, most of you will not be watching the return of Jon & Kate Plus 8.

Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Enforcement Division agents arrested a Winnsboro Police Officer, cited another Winnsboro Police Officer and cited a Franklin Parish Detention Center Corrections Officer for their alleged roles in the illegal harvesting of a deer.
Agents cited Winnsboro City Police Officer Chester Coleman, 34, of Enterprise, on Jan. 7 for taking a deer during illegal hours using artificial light, hunting from a moving vehicle, failing to comply with deer tagging requirements, and hunting without basic and big game licenses. Agents also arrested Coleman for malfeasance in office and booked him into the Franklin Parish Jail.
Agents also cited Winnsboro City Police Officer Joshua Martin, 31, of Winnsboro, and Franklin Parish Detention Center Corrections Officer Hunter Guimbellot, 22, of Winnsboro, on Jan. 5 for taking a deer during illegal hours using artificial light and hunting from a moving vehicle.
Agents were notified by an informant of an illegal hunting incident that occurred in Franklin Parish on Dec. 30, 2012. Agents learned from the informant that Coleman, Martin and Guimbellot harvested a doe deer around 8 p.m. at the Winnsboro City Industrial Park.
Coleman was on duty at the time of the illegal hunting activity and he shot the deer from his patrol vehicle with Martin's .308 rifle. The three men then put the deer into the trunk of the patrol vehicle for later cleaning.
Agents seized the .308 rifle and the deer. Agents involved in the case are Lt. Scott Watson and Senior Agent Johnny Wilson.
Malfeasance in office is a felony and brings up to five years in jail and $5,000 in fines. Taking deer during illegal hours brings a $900 to $950 fine and up to 120 days in jail. Hunting from a moving vehicle brings a $250 to $500 and up to 90 days in jail. Hunting without basic and big game licenses carries a $50 fine and up to 15 days in jail for each offense. Violating deer tagging regulations brings a $100 to $300 fine and up to 60 days in jail.

Top 10 Benefits of Organic Coconut Oil
By Dr. Edward Group
This might come as a surprise to you, but one of the smartest choices of good fat you can add to your diet is organic virgin coconut oil. Yes, coconut oil.
Although it is a 90% saturated fat, organic coconut oil contains medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) that can improve your health in many ways.
First of all, organic coconut oil is very stable to cook with because it withstands high temperatures without heat damage. If you switch your cooking oil to organic coconut oil, you can start improving your health right away.
What's more, you can easily digest the MCFAs in coconut oil. So, it's a lot easier on your system than other oils. Plus, these hard-working fatty acids are immediately converted into energy rather than being stored in your body as fat. Overall, MCFAs help to boost your metabolism, which is a great help to any weight loss program.
Considered a functional food, organic coconut oil is now being recognized by the medical community as a powerful tool against immune system related diseases. Several studies have been done on its effectiveness in this area, and much research is currently underway concerning the incredible nutritional value of pure organic virgin coconut oil.
Organic coconut oil is highly nutritious and contains a superior disease fighting fatty acid called lauric acid. It is also rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
The best kind to get is organic raw unprocessed extra virgin coconut oil. This will assure you that your product is unrefined, certified organic by USDA standards, and contains no added chemicals or genetically modified additives.
You'll also know your organic coconut oil is made only from fresh coconuts and is a solid at room temperature. The Philippines is the world's largest exporter of organic coconut oil.
Used in tropical cultures as a nutritious diet staple for many centuries, organic coconut oil can help:
1. Keep You Healthy and Slim
You can help boost and regulate your metabolism to keep your weight under control with this wonder oil.
2. Support Your Immune System
Organic coconut oil is jam-packed with lauric acid, the immune supporting nutrient.
3. Promote Heart Health
Packed full of healthy fats that are good for your heart, organic coconut oil is a great addition to your daily diet.
4. Give You Instant Energy
Organic coconut oil can help you feel less fatigued and require less sleep by stimulating your metabolism. It can also enhance athletic performance.
5. Support Healthy Thyroid Function
Organic coconut oil helps to stimulate the activity and proper functioning of this important gland which provides energy, supports the health of your skin and metabolism, and keeps your moods in balance.
6. Help Keep Your Skin Youthful, Smooth & Healthy Looking
Using organic virgin coconut oil as a lotion will help improve your skin, hair, and nails due to its moisturizing and smoothing effects that also promote elasticity.
7. Increase Cell Regeneration
When your metabolic rate increases, your cell regeneration speeds up, too. This means that your body will more quickly replace old cells with newer, healthier cells.
8. Promote Anti-Viral, Anti-Fungal, and Anti-Bacterial Activity
Teeming with lauric acid, organic coconut oil possesses abundant natural agents that may reduce fungus, bacteria and the viruses that cause influenza, herpes, and other illnesses.
9. Improve Insulin Secretion
This helps to better utilize glucose to balance insulin output which can help relieve the symptoms and reduce the health risks associated with diabetes.
10. Protect Your Body from Disease
Organic coconut oil may help protect your body from cell damaging free radicals.

IPCC honoured with the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize
Phone: +41-22-730-8208/84 e-mail:
Agriculture accounts for only a small part of GDP in Europe. Therefore, the
vulnerability of the overall economy to changes that affect agriculture is low
(Reilly, 1996). Locally, however, effects on society may be large. Europe as
a whole is noted for its substantial output of arable crops and animal products
Trends in European agriculture are dominated by the EUs Common Agricultural
Policy (CAP). This occurs because EU member states account for a large proportion
of agricultural production in Europe and because several countries currently
are seeking membership in the EU and in this process are adjusting their policy
to match the CAP. The EU seeks to integrate concerns for environmental protection
and countryside livelihood into the CAP.
Many studies have assessed the effects of climate change on agricultural productivity
(e.g., Ryszkowski and Kedziora, 1993; Harrison et al., 1995b; Semenov and Porter,
1995; Alexandrov, 1999; Cuculeanu et al., 1999; Harrison et al., 1999). Relatively
little work, however, has been done to link these results across sectors to
identify vulnerable regions and farming systems. Such assessments are needed
to identify appropriate policy responses to climate change. More extensive information
than the summary presented in this section appears in the agriculture chapter
of the European ACACIA report (Bindi and Olesen, 2000).
Cereals of different species and varieties are grown throughout
Europe. Climatic warming will expand the area of cereals cultivation (e.g.,
wheat and maize) northward (Kenny et al., 1993; Harrison and Butterfield, 1996;
Carter et al., 1996a). For wheat, a temperature rise will lead to a small yield
reduction, whereas an increase in CO2 will cause a large yield increase;
the net effect of both for a moderate climate change is a large yield increase
(Nonhebel, 1996; Harrison and Butterfield, 1999). Drier conditions and increasing
temperatures in the Mediterranean region and parts of eastern Europe may lead
to lower yields and the need for new varieties and cultivation methods. Yield
reductions have been estimated for eastern Europe, and yield variability may
increase, especially in the steppe regions (Alexandrov, 1997; Sirotenko et al.,
1997). Figure 13-6a shows the response of wheat yields
to change of climate and CO2 concentration for a GCM scenario for
2050 that resembles the A1 scenario. The largest increases in yield occur in
southern Europeparticularly northern Spain, southern France, Italy, and Greece.
Relatively large yield increases (34 t ha-1) also occur in Fenno-Scandinavia.
In the rest of Europe, yields are 13 t ha-1 greater than at present.
There are small areas where yields are predicted to decrease by as much as 3
t ha-1, such as in southern Portugal, southern Spain, and Ukraine. For maize,
future climate scenario analyses carried out for selected sites in Europe suggest
mainly increases in yield for northern areas and decreases in southern areas
(Wolf and van Diepen, 1995). This is a result of a small effect of increased
CO2 concentration on growth (maize is a C4 plant that
responds less positively to CO2 increases than C3 plants
such as wheat and barley) and a negative effect of temperature on the duration
of growing season. The latter effect, however, can be largely prevented by growing
other maize varieties (Wolf and van Diepen, 1995).
Seed crops generally are determinate species, and the duration to maturity
depends on temperature and day length. A temperature increase therefore will
shorten the length of the growing period and possibly reduce yields (Peiris
et al., 1996). At the same time, the cropping areas of cooler season seed crops
(e.g., pea, faba bean, and oilseed rape) probably will expand northward into
Fenno-Scandinavia, leading to increased productivity of seed crops there. There
also will be northward expansion of warmer season seed crops (e.g., soybean
and sunflower). Harrison and Butterfield (1996) estimate this northward expansion
for sunflower; they also found a general decrease in water-limited yield of
sunflower in many regions, particularly in western Europe. Analysis of the effect
of climatic change on soybean yield for selected sites in western Europe suggests
mainly increases in yield (Wolf, 2000a). This is a result of a positive effect
of CO2 concentration on growth and only a small effect of temperature
on crop duration.
Vegetables cover a wide range of species with a large variation in type of
yield components, including leaves, stalks, inflorescence, bulbs, roots, and
tubers. Most vegetables are high-value crops that are grown under ample water
and nutrient supply. Their response to changes in temperature and CO2
varies among species, mainly depending on the type of yield component and the
response of phenological development to temperature change. For determinate
crops such as onions, warming will reduce the duration of crop growth and hence
yield (Harrison et al., 1995b), whereas warming stimulates growth and yield
in indeterminate crops such as carrots (Wheeler et al., 1996). Onion yields
are sensitive to the degree of warming (Harrison et al., 1995b), with a yield
decrease for warmer scenarios and a yield increase for cooler scenarios. There
also is a spatial gradient, with yield increases in northwest Europe to decreases
in southeast Europe. For lettuce, temperature has been found to have little
influence on yield, whereas yield is stimulated by increasing CO2
(Pearson et al., 1997). For cool-season vegetable crops such as cauliflower,
large temperature increases may decrease production during the summer period
in southern Europe because of decreased yield quality (Olesen and Grevsen, 1993).
Root and tuber crops are expected to show a large response to rising atmospheric
CO2 because of their large underground sinks for carbon and apoplastic
mechanisms of phloem loading (Farrar, 1996; Komor et al., 1996). On the other
hand, warming may reduce the growing season and enhance water requirements,
with consequences for yield. Climate change scenario studies performed with
crop models show increases in potato yields in northern Europe and decreases
or no change in the rest of Europe (Wolf, 2000b). Simulation results show an
increase in potato yield variability for the whole of Europe, which enhances
the risk for this crop. However, crop management strategies (e.g., advanced
planting and cultivation of earlier varieties) seem to be effective in overcoming
these changes (Wolf, 2000b). Indeterminate root crops such as sugar beet may
be expected to benefit from warming and the increase in CO2 concentrations.
A study performed by Davies et al. (1996) for England and Wales indicates that
the area of suitability for the growth of the crop moves westward.
Forage crops, including maize and whole crop cereals for silage, as well as
root crops such as sugar beet and some Brassica species, also are described
under cereals and root crops. When these crops are grown as forage crops, yield
components and quality may change. Thus, there is a larger emphasis on total
biomass yield and on digestability of biomass. The effects on production and
quality of wheat whole crop silage will depend on the relative magnitudes of
changes in CO2 and temperature (Sinclair and Seligman, 1995). Yields
of the different forage crop types will be affected differentially. Yields of
indeterminate crops such as sugar beet and silage maize can be expected to show
a larger increase than the yields of whole crop cereals, especially in northern
Europe. This probably will lead to changes in the types of forage crops grown.
Studies indicate an increase in suitability of the north and west UK to forage
maize (Cooper and McGeechan, 1996; Davies et al., 1996).
Perennial crops (e.g., grapevine, olive, and energy crops) have been relatively
less studied in the context of climate change impacts. A study on the potential
cultivation of grapevine in Europe under future climate scenarios has shown
that there is potential for expansion of the wine-growing area in Europe and
an increase in yield (see Figure 13-6b). Yet detailed
predictions made for the main EU viticultural areas have shown an increase in
yield variability (fruit production and quality). The quality of wine in good
years is not guaranteed, and the demand for wine in poor years is not met, implying
a higher economic risk for growers (Bindi et al., 1996; Bindi and Fibbi, 2000).
For olive, it was shown that in a 2xCO2 case, the suitable area for
olive cultivation could be enlarged in France, Italy, Croatia, and Greece as
a result of changes in temperature and precipitation patterns (Bindi et al.,
1992). For indeterminate energy crops that are favored by the longer growing
season and by increased WUE resulting from higher CO2 levels, higher
temperatures and CO2 concentrations generally would be favorable.
A study of willow production in the UK found that warming generally would be
beneficial for production, with increases in yield of as much as 40% for a temperature
increase of 3°K (Evans et al., 1995). Livestock systems may be influenced by
climate change directly by means of its effects on animal health, growth, and
reproduction and indirectly through its impacts on productivity of pastures
and forage crops. Heat stress has several negative effects on animal production,
including reduced reproduction and milk production in dairy cows and reduced
fertility in pigs (Furquay, 1989). This may negatively affect livestock production
in summer in currently warm regions of Europe. Warming during the cold period
for cooler regions is likely to be beneficial as a result of reduced feed requirements,
increased survival, and lower energy costs. Impacts probably will be minor for
intensive livestock systems where climate is controlled. Climate change may
affect requirements for insulation and air-conditioning, however, and thus change
housing expenses (Cooper et al., 1998). The impact of climate change on grasslands
will affect livestock living on these pastures. In Scotland, studies of the
effect on grass-based milk production indicate that these effects vary by locality.
For herds grazed on grass-clover swards, milk output may increase regardless
of site, as a result of the CO2 effect on nitrogen fixation (Topp
and Doyle, 1996b).
Pest-disease-weed-host relationship can be affected by climate change in different
ways. Pests, diseases, and weeds that currently are of minor significance may
become key species, thereby causing serious losses. The distribution and intensity
of current key pest, diseases, and weeds may be affected, leading to changed
effects on yield and on control measures such as pesticides and integrated pest
management. Competitive abilities in weed-plant interactions may be affected
through changes in ecophysiology (i.e., CO2 fertilization effects
on C3 and C4 species). Pests and diseases generally will
migrate as crops migrate (e.g., Lipa, 1997, 1999).

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: Stretching and Strengthening ExercisesSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Stretching and strengthening exercises can help a child who hasjuvenile idiopathic arthritis(JIA) control pain and stiffness and maintain mobility. A physical therapist can help figure out how much exercise is appropriate for each child.
Stretching exercises are those in which the joints are moved through bent and straight positions without working the muscles against any resistance or weights, and the muscles are gently stretched. This type of exercise is designed to maintain the normal range of motion of a joint and can be done by a physical therapist or parent for infants or toddlers. Older children can do these exercises themselves. This type of exercise should be done even when a child has acute inflammation and pain, as it is essential to help prevent jointcontractures.
Strengthening exercises are designed to keep or improve strength. Strength is important for preventing osteoporosis (loss of bone mass and strength) and for promoting good joint health. Muscle strength is an important part of your child's ability to exercise effectively. Children must do these exercises themselves. There are two types of strengthening exercises:
- Isometric exercises tighten the muscles without moving the joint. During an acute flare of arthritis, mild isometric exercises are helpful to attempt to maintain muscle strength.
- Isotonic exercises are those in which the child moves the joint through bent and straight positions. Isotonic exercises can be done with or without weights. When arthritis is less active, isotonic exercises can help regain or improve muscle strength.
When children with JIA have less active disease, they should be encouraged to maintain aerobic conditioning through swimming, bicycling, low-impact aerobics, walking, or dancing. Conditioning or aerobic exercises involve a level of intensity and duration to increase endurance and provide cardiovascular fitness.

sounds interesting. I'd have to check my schedule for availability, but I can guarantee you will receive more hits if you go to campaign invitations.
This Campaign is running on Gurps 4th ed and run on a maptools server (maptools found here rptools.net)
We are currently using gurps lite because we have a few newwer players but will progress to basic set soon (Unless you have a specific thing you reeeeealy want to do and can cite the pg number)
This is a modern Gurps Supers campaign using various rules from the Gurps supers and Gurps Powers books
We are looking for a additional 2-3 players to join us on Saturday evenings from roughly 6 pm to 10-11 pm EST
I am aiming to run the game about 60/40 Combat/Roleplay
I have copies of most of the Gurps range if you do not have the books let me know and we will see if we can work something out for you.
Below is the original description of the campaign sent out to all my players:
The Campaign focuses on a select area of the population that have been "gifted" abilities above and beyond normal human capabilities. obviously various organizations both government and private would be interested in collecting or researching these biological phenomena a good reason to possibly keep said abilities hush hush. Characters can choose to have a variety of powers but usually centric around a theme mostly a single power that can manifest in slightly different forms or possibly a slightly a more powerful ability that is less versatile. Characters are not required to have powers but should have some method of keeping up with the bizarre abilities of their allies and foes. As to origins of powers I am flexible either scientific incident, supernatural, inventions, whatever. The most recent outbreak is a genetic defect causing various changes in the human DNA composition. although this condition is currently still under wraps it may not stay that way depending on how the characters and other factors react to the phenomenon.
Game Starting Year:2010
Genre Modern Semi cinematic
Multiple planes of existence? No
Campaign Starting Location: United States, New York
Tech LV 8

We just ran our first game last Saturday and all had a lot of fun and a few laughs and threw me for a few loops. Want to join us? contact me at email@example.com
Hi!, I got your email.
I sent an email let me know
Are you still looking for players?
We actually put the game on hold some months ago. I am kicking around a less serious game kinda like this one here http://www.myth-weavers.com/game.php?g=7510 . Also we are looking into another game that another guy is gonna run. This supers game though is on permanent hold.

Area News Digest
School buys former Diagnostic Center
COZAD—A $75,000 sale of property from the City of Cozad to Cozad School District No. 11 is being negotiated. Municipal officials agreed to accept the school offering for the property, better known as the former Ciagnostic Center facilities, located at 1910 Meridian Ave. in Cozad. Although conditions for the transaction have been finalized, approval is pending a 30-day objection period. Cozad Superintendent John Grinde said the acquisition will alleviate a demand for additional school facilities and will be much more reasonable than if a construction project had been considered.—taken from the Tri-City Trib.
Broken Bow council considers Keno revenue
BROKEN BOW—Keno and a telephone tax may be coming to Broken Bow. Both possibilities hit at a recent City Council agenda. According to Tony Tolstedt, city manager, "We've been looking for alternate sources of income to help the operating budget so property owners do not have to bear the brunt all of the time." The telephone tax would be collected by the phone companies and then transferred to the city as non-restricted funds. Also, a serious look at including Keno was discussed by city officials with profits allocated to the city for community betterment.—taken from the Custer County Chief.
Hands Off My Health Care bus stops at Ogallala
OGALLALA—It wasn't an old-fashioned gunfight that brought more than 60 people to the Front Street parking lot recently, but the topic of the government's health care reform bill drew verbal shots from those in attendance. Sen. Ken Schilz of Ogallala was one of the speakers in opposition of the government's proposed takeover of health care and was traveling with the Hands Off My Health Care Nebraska Bus Tour which made recent stops at North Platte, Ogallala and Sidney with plans to continue across the state.—taken from the Keith County News.
Curtis woman gains auctioneer recognition
CURTIS—Frontier County Assessor Regina Andrijeski of Curtis recently competed in the National Auctioneers Association 2009 International Auctioneers Championship in Overland Park, KS, and was awarded the second runner-up trophy. There were 65 men and 24 women competing for the titles of best auctioneers in the world, a cash prize of $10,000 and the opportunity to represent the association as their spokesperson. Andrijeski also earned the overall title of third best woman auctioneer in the world.—taken from the Frontier County Enterprise.
Community gathers to host ninth annual SORC
ARNOLD—When well over 100 drivers from across the U.S. and their navigators roared into Arnold recently for the Ninth Annual Sandhills Open Road Challenge (SORC), the town was ready. Banners in downtown business windows read "Welcome Race Fans," and racing flags and balloons decorated the flower barrels. Wearing identifying T-shirts, many volunteers gathered and prepared for the drivers. It's probably safe to state that the SORC is the nation's only open road race event where an entire community works together to host the event from meals to EMT's.—taken from the Arnold Sentinel.
Pressure on for football coop with Arnold
CALLAWAY—Members of District 180 Board of Education will need to soon decide whether to enter into a cooperative agreement with Arnold to combine football programs in 2010. Callaway High School athletic director Jarod Rush requested that the board make its decision by Nov. 6 so that hiring of officials can go forward for next year and the school activities association can set the football schedule separately or as a co-op team. According to Superintendent Pat Osmond, Callaway might be able to go it alone for a time but would find itself up against bigger and stronger programs that have already co-oped.—taken from the Callaway Courier.

Here is a list of the 11 workers who died after a blast on the BP-leased drilling rig Deepwater Horizon on April 20, 2010 about 50 miles southeast of the Louisiana coast in the Gulf of Mexico. The rig was owned by the Swiss firm Transocean Ltd. It was drilling the Macondo well, in which BP was the majority owner. On the morning of April 12 — after burning for about a day and a half — the Deepwater Horizon sank. It rests on the bottom about a mile below the Gulf surface.
None of the men worked directly for BP. Two were employed by M-I Swaco, a division of oil field services company Schlumberger. The rest worked for Transocean.
No bodies were recovered.
— Jason Anderson, 35, of Midfield, Texas. A father of two. His wife, Shelley, said Thanksgiving was his favorite holiday. Anderson began preparing a will in February 2010 and kept it in a spiral notebook. It sank with the rig.
—Aaron Dale "Bubba" Burkeen, 37, of Philadelphia, Miss. His death at the Deepwater Horizon came on his wedding anniversary and four days before his birthday. He was married with two children.
—Donald Clark, 49, of Newellton, La. He was one of six workers scheduled to leave the rig on April 21, the day after the blast.
—Stephen Ray Curtis, 40, of Georgetown, La., Curtis was married and had two teenagers.
—Gordon Jones, 28, of Baton Rouge, La. Jones arrived on the rig the day before the explosion. He died three days before his sixth wedding anniversary and 10 minutes after talking to his pregnant wife, Michelle Jones. Their son, Max, was born three weeks later.
—Roy Wyatt Kemp, 27, Jonesville, La. Kemp was married. His daughter's birthday was 3 days before the explosion. Kemp was one of six workers scheduled to leave the rig on April 21.
—Karl Kleppinger Jr., 38, of Natchez, Miss. Kleppinger was a veteran of the first Gulf War and the father of one child.
—Keith Blair Manuel, 56, of Gonzales, La. Manuel had three daughters. He was a fan of LSU athletics and had football and basketball season tickets.
—Dewey A. Revette, 48, of State Line, Miss. Revette had been married to his wife, Sherri, for 26 years when the rig exploded. He was one of six workers scheduled to leave the rig on April 21.
—Shane M. Roshto, 22, of Liberty, Miss. His wife, Natalie, filed a lawsuit April 21, 2010, saying she suffered post-traumatic stress disorder after her husband was killed in the explosion. He was one of six workers who were set to leave the rig on April 21.
— Adam Weise, 24, Yorktown, Texas. Weise drove 10 hours to Louisiana every three weeks to work on the rig. A high school football star, he spent off- time hunting and fishing. He was one of six workers scheduled to leave the rig on April 21.

Rules of Civility
This rhapsodic tribute to a bygone era conjures up mesmerizing images of 1930s New York. Two worlds collide on New Year's Eve 1937, and three lives will never be the same. For Katey Kontent and Eve Ross, two working gals out on the town, a chance encounter with patrician banker Tinker Grey sets into motion a series of events causing far-reaching consequences. As Towles explores the seemingly random ways in which both choice and chance can impact the future, Katey, Eve, and Tinker each face a dark night of the soul, during which fates are twisted, reshaped, and realigned. Discerning readers will draw parallels between Towles and the ominously ironic Edith Wharton while relishing the fact that the snappy dialogue and descriptive prose are wrapped in a compelling narrative.--Flanagan, Margare.

With 34 teams signed up for the inaugrial Moto2 season, the series is over-subscribed for its launch in 2010. Adding itself to the fray allegedly is the French MotoGP team, Tech3. With Moto2 being such an enticing series for lower budget satellite teams, does MotoGP risk losing teams to Moto2 more than WSBK?
In an interview with the French motorcycle magazine MotoRevue, the team manager Herve Poncharal explains why the MotoGP team is looking to the Moto2 series.
"MotoGP teams like us have little more to do at a weekend than just adjust the bike and fiddle with the settings. We have nothing more to do, it's stipulated in our contracts that we are not allowed to make any modifications to the machines which have been placed at our disposal. If you have a highly-skilled team, it's hard to hang on to them if you don't have enough of a challenge for your boys for the entire year."
Poncharal speaks of the contracts that satellite teams enter into when they are supplied bikes by manufacturers. The bikes are only leased to the teams, and as a consequence, there's only a very limited number of options the teams have for setting the bikes up for race day.
"Moto2 will allow us to get back to what we used to do during the winter and the Grand Prix. We have young engineers who do fewer races than their counterparts in Supersport. If we can give them more work to do, they are more likely to want to stay with us."
The Moto2 class has so many advantages for Tech 3 that it could lead them to focus there efforts in the new class, and move away from MotoGP. "We are all being forced to reconsider our activities," Poncharal told MotoRevue. For the past 10 years or so, the factories have been tightening their grip on the machines they lease to private teams, allowing the teams to do less and less to the bikes.
These restrictions prevent the teams from being competitive. While the factory continues to develop the factory bikes, improving them throughout the season, the satellite teams are left to wait for upgrades from the factory, usually waiting in line behind the factory supported teams for the scraps from the table.
If there is one thing the manufacturers fear more than being beaten by other factories, it's being beaten by their satellite teams. Restricting the flow of parts to the satellite teams and the amount of development they can do is one way of ensuring the factory teams don't get shown up.
So far, though, Tech 3 are still in MotoGP. But with the Moto2 class such an attractive prospect, and so much more affordable than MotoGP, the new class could end up being as much of a threat to the premier class as World Superbikes.
