Well my Corsa III rear died after 4500 miles or so and it was time for a new one. I really enjoyed the Corsa III. When I found out that Pirelli had the new Rosso Corsa tires out, I had to get them.
After unwrapping the tire, I immediately noticed a big change. The tread pattern has had an overhaul, and I really like how there is no tread on the edges.
Upon entering a corner, the bike feels much more stable. The confidence that Pirelli inspires is amazing. The tire does not feel like it spins as much as the Corsa III did either. Its nice being able to rip it hard out of a corner.
I highly suggest these tires. It is a definite improvement over the Corsa III. Balanced with Dyna Beads is the way to go, make sure you order some with your purchase!!
JakeWilson.com comes though with fast delivery and excellent products. Ill be back for sure!
Additional Comments On Mar 21, 2011:Back for another Rosso Corsa rear. If you demand the absolute best for your bike, look no further. The confidence and grip in the corners is worth the loss tread life. Tires are replaceable, and with JakeWilson.com, they are only a click away.

Comments On Oct 08, 2010:Just put these tires on my 2009 Triumph Daytona 675 and love them. These were purchased as replacements for the factory Pirelli Supercorsa SP's. Tires seem to get up to temperature a little faster and grip is equivellent at least on the street. Won't be able to do any track days with these until next year but love them so far! I would recommend these to anyone looking for a alternative tire to the BT003rs, and Pilot Ones. These are a soft tire for more advanced riders or aggressive riders. If you are looking for mileage tire from Pirelli get the Pirelli Angel ST but don't expect supersport performance that these tire deliver!
Note, these tires balanced extremely well and required very little weight to balance.

A North Dakota newspaper has reversed its policy against publishing same-sex wedding announcements after rejecting a couple's ad last week, stirring controversy in the community and beyond.
The Forum of Fargo-Moorehead will accept for publication announcements of same-sex marriages, engagements and anniversaries if the marriage takes place in a state or country where it's legally recognized, editor Matt Von Pinnon announced over the weekend.
The newspaper will not publish announcements for non-legally recognized marriages, such as civil unions and commitment ceremonies, he said.
"We inform the public, plain and simple," he said. "We report on many, many things that we neither endorse nor condemn. That's the nature of news. Some people would like us to deny that gay marriage is legally recognized in several states and countries. To not recognize that fact is to deny or distort the truth, something we're not willing to do.
"We bring readers marriage announcements, engagement announcements and anniversary announcements because it informs them of what people around them are doing. We tried to set a reasonable standard for what constitutes news in this arena, and we think a legally recognized marriage fits that bill."
The old policy drew attention after the newspaper refused to publish an announcement from Fargo residents Allison Johnson, 31, and her fiancee, 27-year-old Kelsey Smith. Johnson received an e-mail from the "celebrations editor" on July 23 and shared it with friends. One of those friends, iReporter Gia Rassier, posted a screen shot of the e-mail on Twitter, CNN iReport and Facebook, where it "spread like wildfire," Rassier said.
The uproar prompted a review of the policy, said Von Pinnon, who met with the couple July 24. Amid the controversy, Johnson and Smith said they received messages of support from as far as Europe and Australia.
The development comes just in time for their wedding on Wednesday in New York, where same-sex marriage is legal. The couple, who have been together since 2008, said their ad would run in the Forum on Sunday.
"We are very proud of our community and everyone who supported us and this cause! They are the reason for the policy change. They made their voices heard and change occurred because of it," Johnson said Monday after landing in New York.
The paper heard from more than 600 people in the Fargo area and elsewhere, who appeared "equally divided" over the issue, Von Pinnon said in his column. The old policy stemmed from the marriage laws of both North Dakota and neighboring Minnesota, both of which do not recognize same-sex marriages legally performed in other states.
"We are thrilled with the Forum's decision to reform their policy," Johnson said. "While it is a great step in the right direction we know there is still so much more to be done for true equality to be reached."

This was written by Spencer Overton, a member of the Carter-Baker commission whose proposal on altering presidential primary dates I sent to you all earlierSep 19, 2005View SourceThis was written by Spencer Overton, a member of the
Carter-Baker commission whose proposal on altering
presidential primary dates I sent to you all earlier
I am a professor who specializes in election law, and
I am writing separately to express my dissenting views
on the Carter-Baker Commission's photo ID proposal.
The Commission's "Real ID" recommendation is more
restrictive than the photo ID proposal rejected by the
Carter-Ford Commission in 2001, and more extreme than
any ID requirement adopted in any state to date. The
Commission's proposal is so excessive that it would
prevent eligible voters from proving their identity
with even a valid U.S. passport or a U.S. military
photo ID card.
In addition, the Commission's Report fails to
undertake a serious cost-benefit analysis. The
existing evidence suggests that the type of fraud
addressed by photo ID requirements is extraordinarily
small and that the number of eligible citizens who
would be denied their right to vote as a result of the
Commission's ID proposal is exceedingly large.
According to the 2001 Carter-Ford Commission, an
estimated 6% to 10% of voting-age Americans
(approximately 11 million to 19 million potential
voters) do not possess a driver's license or a
state-issued non-driver's photo ID, and these numbers
are likely to rise as the "Real ID Act" increases the
documentary requirements for citizens to obtain
acceptable identification. The 2005 Carter-Baker
Commission does not and cannot establish that its
"Real ID" requirement would exclude even one
fraudulent vote for every 1000 eligible voters
The Commission's ID proposal would exclude Americans
of all backgrounds, but the poor, the disabled, the
elderly, students, and people of color would bear the
greatest burden. According to the Georgia chapter of
AARP, 36% of Georgians over age 75 do not have a
drivers' license. In the United States, more than 3
million people with disabilities do not have
identification issued by the government. A June 2005
study in Wisconsin found that the rate of driver's
license possession among African Americans was half
that for whites, and that only 22% of black males age
18 to 24 had a driver's license. The lack of
government-issued photo ID is particularly acute among
Native Americans, some of whom have religious
objections to photo ID.
The exclusionary effects of the Commission's ID
proposal are best illustrated by some of the people it
is most likely to disenfranchise-the victims of
Hurricane Katrina. Many who were left behind in
hurricane-torn New Orleans were poor, did not own a
car, and were less likely to have a driver's license.
These forgotten Americans-and many like them across
our nation-are the ones the Commission's ID proposal
will most likely leave out of our democracy.
To combat fraud by absentee voters, the Commission
recommends verifying the signature on the ballot
against the signature used to register. The Commission
fails to explain why Americans who travel to the polls
to vote should be denied the same opportunity to
establish their identity through signature
verification. The Commission's double standard is
particularly disturbing considering that whites are
about twice as likely as African Americans to vote via
absentee ballot, and that absentee ballots are widely
acknowledged to be more susceptible to fraud than
ballots cast at the polls.
The Commission's zeal for an identification
requirement at any cost reflects a general
misconception of election integrity. An election with
integrity is one that allows every eligible voter-and
only eligible voters-the opportunity to cast a ballot
and to have that ballot counted accurately. The
Commission's ID recommendation fails this standard.

The Vikings have today officially unveiled their new home colours for the 2013 Super League season.
Back in early October, despite weeks of deliberation and consideration between the options of either a predominantly black or a predominantly white playing kit, club representatives failed to decide upon a principal shirt for the 2013 Super League season, so entrusted their Viking Stronghold members to have the casting vote.
Once all of the members' votes had been collated there was just a 3% difference, with the White design winning the vote.
Commenting on the close-run affair, Vikings' Director of Marketing Brian O'Connor, said; "It's ironic that our members had just as much trouble deciding, as we did.
"With the voting so close, we felt that it would have been a travesty to run with just one design when nearly half of our fan-base preferred the other option. This played on my mind for a number of days.
"The decision is all about giving the fans the choice. The fans now have the option of purchasing the design that they voted for.
"By the same token, they can also pick and choose from the entire playing kit range and come up with their own combination."
Ever keen to innovate and break from the norm, and with the full approval of the RFL, the club will now be able to choose from two home kits in 2013 for their games at The Stobart Stadium. It is anticipated that each kit will feature on an equal number of occasions throughout the Super League XVIII season.
The new 2013 home kit designs were previewed in full for the first time on Thursday 6th December at an exclusive event hosted by BBC Radio Merseyside's Gary McGrath, held in the Bridge Suite at The Stobart Stadium.
Judging by the initial feedback of those in attendance, demand is expected to be high for the all-new replica.
Commenting on the 2013 designs, Vikings head coach Denis Betts said; "Once again, we are all really pleased with the new playing and training kit and I'm sure the club's members and supporters will also enjoy wearing the range of replica items and leisurewear as soon as they can get their hands on them.
"The Black / White debate has raised its head on a daily basis amongst the first team players and I'm sure the fact we now have both will please them all!"
Manufactured by O'Neill's Irish Sportswear, the 2013 home kit features Stobart as its main sponsor across the chest with the logos of each of the clubs business partners; Magners, Sky Sports HD, Ultimate Sports Nutrition, Maltacourt, STATSports and REEL Cinemas also present. Further to this, the shorts feature the emblems of DW Sports Fitness and O2 Think Big.
A golden star is also featured on the front of the all-new design, in reference to the club's World Club Challenge triumph in 1989, while the heritage crest brings together the 'Industria Ditat' Coat of Arms and the Vikings logo.
Following the success of the embedded QR code which was first featured on the 2012 playing and replica jersey, the new shirt also incorporates this innovative feature.
The initial batch of 2013 'Home' kits will be available to buy, alongside a whole host of other Vikings themed merchandise at the Vikings Superstore situated within Tesco Extra in Widnes from 11.00am on Saturday 8th December.
Throughout the day, a selection of Vikings' players will be in attendance to meet and greet you upon your arrival.

Newcastle student lands inaugural PM's Award
University of Newcastle speech pathology student Rebecca Amery will next year swap the leafy surrounds of the Callaghan campus for Vietnam's Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy under a unique new scholarship program.
Ms Amery has been awarded a Prime Minister's Australia Asia Endeavour Award - a new scholarship providing opportunities for students to gain international experience and build professional networks in Asia.
She will be one of just 20 Australian undergraduate students to spend up to 12 months studying in Asia as part of their degree program, followed by at least three months in an internship or work placement.
"Speech pathology is an emerging discipline in Vietnam and there is a lack of normative speech and language data for Vietnamese children," Ms Amery said.
"This is one area that I would like to help address during my time studying there, in addition to looking at the cross-cultural competency of speech pathology students working with clients and patients for whom English is a second language."
Originally from Darwin, Ms Amery moved to Newcastle to study speech pathology and has just completed her third year.
"Verbal communication can often be taken for granted, but for people with communication and swallowing disorders, delayed speech and language development, cleft lip and palate, voice disorders and stuttering it can be a significant challenge.
"The opportunity to work with people in a developing country like Vietnam where access to a speech therapist is very limited, will be very rewarding."
The Prime Minister's Australia Asia Endeavour Awards provide financial assistance of up to $60,000 towards travel, tuition and internship contributions.
The aim of the awards were to build relationships between Australia and Asia through the development of internationally aware, skilled future leaders and the establishment of ongoing education and professional links.
The Prime Minister's Australia Asia Endeavour Awards were announced at a dinner in Canberra overnight.
A print quality image of Ms Amery is available on request.

Yes, this is slightly off topic for this blog, but it caught my eye. A Miami University study indicates that girls like science and math better in the 4th grade than they do in the 8th grade. According to the study, the good news – if you can call it that – is that girls lose interest in subjects across the board and don't seem to single out math and science. But the even better news is that "as they become college students, some females regain their interest in sciences: At Miami's Oxford campus, there are more female majors than male in botany, microbiology and zoology."

Can we read and discuss this? It's coming out soon...and I want some company in reading it.
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/07/sc...&ex=1187236800Historians used to accept changes in peoples behavior as an explanation for economic events, like Max Webers thesis linking the rise of capitalism with Protestantism. But most have now swung to the economists view that all people are alike and will respond in the same way to the same incentives. Hence they seek to explain events like the Industrial Revolution in terms of changes in institutions, not people.
Dr. Clarks view is that institutions and incentives have been much the same all along and explain very little, which is why there is so little agreement on the causes of the Industrial Revolution. In saying the answer lies in peoples behavior, he is asking his fellow economic historians to revert to a type of explanation they had mostly abandoned and in addition is evoking an idea that historians seldom consider as an explanatory variable, that of evolution.
Most historians have assumed that evolutionary change is too gradual to have affected human populations in the historical period. But geneticists, with information from the human genome now at their disposal, have begun to detect ever more recent instances of human evolutionary change like the spread of lactose tolerance in cattle-raising people of northern Europe just 5,000 years ago. A study in the current American Journal of Human Genetics finds evidence of natural selection at work in the population of Puerto Rico since 1513. So historians are likely to be more enthusiastic about the medieval economic data and elaborate time series that Dr. Clark has reconstructed than about his suggestion that people adapted to the Malthusian constraints of an agrarian society.

The Symbolic Species: The Co-evolution of Language and the BrainThis revolutionary book provides fresh answers to long-standing questions of human origins and consciousness. Drawing on his breakthrough research in comparative neuroscience, Terrence Deacon offers a wealth of insights into the significance of symbolic thinking: from the co-evolutionary exchange between language and brains over two million years of hominid evolution to the ethical repercussions that followed man's newfound access to other people's thoughts and emotions. Informing these insights is a new understanding of how Darwinian processes underlie the brain's development and function as well as its evolution. In contrast to much contemporary neuroscience that treats the brain as no more or less than a computer, Deacon provides a new clarity of vision into the mechanism of mind. It injects a renewed sense of adventure into the experience of being human. |

By Kim Cook The Associated Press
As the new year begins, bringing new colors into our homes can help refresh and recalibrate our spirits. This spring, blues may be just the tonic we need.
Many color marketing and manufacturing groups have named some version of blue among their 2013 colors of the year. AzkoNobel likes indigo; Pantone's top palette includes Monaco Blue, a mix of royal and navy; Color Marketing Group chose mid-range blues. That means that lots of home retailers will be singing the blues this spring, in a good way.
Blues range from energetic to restful. They can call to mind the graduated blues of the sky or those of the oceans, rivers and lagoons.
Blues play well with most colors, textures and room styles.
Rustic woven elements bring indigo home with a traditional, often global sensibility. Sleek lacquerware and silver accessories take blue into smart city-modern territory.
Blue and white is a combination with lots of possibilities. Sara Peterson, HGTV Magazine's editor in chief, says, "We love soft blue-grays in master bedrooms, with white linens and dark wood furniture. Light blue is really pretty on painted kitchen cabinets with white countertops. In a kid's room, cobalt blue is fun when paired with painted white furniture and bursts of bright accent colors, like fuchsia or lime green."
Crate & Barrel and CB2 have some peppy peacock-blue pieces in the spring collections. The latter's got the low-slung Avec sofa, skinny John floor lamp, and the Yolo flat-weave rug in a fresh, fun peacock and white circle print. (crateandbarrel.com )
This spring, Target's Threshold collection features an array of landscape blues, focusing on one in particular.
"As we traveled through Europe and Asia on our trend trips, teal started to become more prominent," says Julie Guggemos, vice president of product development.
Target's spring collection includes an ikat print shower curtain, a floral door mat and a ceramic lamp in teal. (target.com)
Indigo, an inky shade often found in dyed textiles, works with a variety of interior styles. It anchors neutrals less harshly than black, and it's a sophisticated counterpoint to bright colors or pastels.
Homegoods has well-priced, indigo printed upholstered chairs, fabric-covered storage boxes and ikat patterned towels. (homegoods.com )
Deep water or blueberries come to mind with Monaco Blue. It pops against many of the season's more playful shades, such as nectarine, pea green, violet, poppy red and lemony yellow.
Turquoise, which held sway over much of 2012's color story, stays strong into spring. The color's pretty, yet carries an edge. Modern décor looks great in turquoise: Ikea's Klippan sofa comes in a version that will have you thinking of the tropics. Go with that vibe by pairing it with textural white and cream accessories evoking sandy beaches, nubby shells and palm bark. (ikea.com).

Super helpful staff, free tea/coffee made by them and not simply those u have to make by yourself! Staff recommended and helped us book for a Halong Bay trip which was amazing. Great tour guide, nice boat and excellent meals on board. Paid $90 for two days one might cruise on HB which was great value. There're cheaper deals out there but u get what u pay for basically. Hotel was v clean, hot showers as well .

No. A court order can direct that the insured individual assign (give up ownership of) his/her life insurance coverage under the FEGLI Program. But unless and until the insured individual files a valid assignment form (RI 76-10 Assignment), the insurance is not assigned. This is different than a designation. If valid, a court order can serve as a designation of beneficiary for life insurance purposes even if the insured individual doesn't complete a designation form.

"Shapes in the coral in the Sumatra Basin have left a terrifying message for Indonesians.
Kerry Sieh and Danny Natawidjaja studied patterns in the reefs created by hundreds of years of seismic activity and believe the area may be entering a high-activity phase that could hammer the area with a series of massive earthquakes.
When a large quake occurs, the seabed in the basin is lifted, pushing some parts of the coral reef above the ocean surface. That exposed area stops growing but the submerged part continues to thrive, marking the coral with patterns that Sieh and Natawidjaja believe chronicle the area's frightening geological history."

This is all in Alice's POV since she plays a REALLY important role. I may ad another Cullen's POV in but not in the early chapters. Edward leaves Bella and she is broken. Alice sees visions of Bella habing trouble coping and sees her go to an asylum. Alice doesn't want her sister to go through what she did so she takes action. How will Edward feel? Will he realize that Bella needs him? Let's only hope. This story is like 'Deja Vu' by Nightrose but it's way different at the same time. I'm going to have a lot more action from the Cullens. Maybe even some Rosalie and Bella become friends parts.
I kind of just think of random stories. Enjoy.
1. My Worst Nightmare
Rating 5/5 Word Count 699 Review this Chapter
We were in Alaska with the Denali coven. Though I was fairly occupied I couldn't stop thinking of Bella. I had a nagging feeling she was hurt...or worse. With her luck she could be dead by now. How could Edward leave her? She was my sister. A better sister then Rosalie and I could do anything I wanted with her. She was my Bella Barbie Doll. Although I knew she hated being a Barbie she still loved being with be. On the inside, I could tell she was having fun whenever I would dress her up. But know I couldn't se that look in her eyes. The way she trusted Edward. The way she cared for me. Edward didn't deserve that trust any more. Though he though he was helping her, he was probably breaking her.
My thoughts collided with one another and then I was sucked into a vision. One that, with the amount of horror in it, I still couldn't escape it.
She sat there in her bed, arms on her legs, her arms trembling. She was shaking. Not from the cold but from tears. She was upset. She was more upset then I could imagine. Bella, my best friend, was broken and it was all because of my vain brother. Charlie came in, talking to her to stop being a zombie. She wouldn't look up or even speak. He was now visibly frustrated and pulled out the phone. He dialed a number.
"Renee, your daughter is a zombie. Get down here, please. I don't know what to do. She won't talk, eat or sleep. She hasn't moved for four days and I'm afraid. Please, I need your help." He begged. I had never seen Charlie show this much emotion or act this way before. He was afraid for his daughter's sanity.
Because of Edward, Bella was like this. I would hunt him down and personally kill him myself if he didn't get down to Bella now. I was about to hop off the couch when I was swept into another vision.
Bella, her face sunken, eyes blank, and her body like a skeleton. She hadn't eaten in weeks. It looked as though anyone could break her with a piece of paper. One slight movement and she would be destroyed.
Renee was there and was murmuring words that sounded like 'you need help' and 'these people will help you' to her. I was confused. What was happening? Was Bella hurt? She was obviously sick. She was deathly pale and unmoving.
"Please, just help her. Ever since he left her, she hasn't eaten or slept. I want her to get better!" Renee cried to the men. They were dressed in suits that only my memories remembered now. Although I forgot my human memory, I could remember where these people were from. These people weren't the nicest. They were the opposite. They were terrible and scary. They were my nightmares. How could Bella go through this? I couldn't let her. She was going to an asylum! My sweet, innocent sister was going to an asylum because of my do-do bird headed brother! He ruined her life! He thought he was helping her? Well, he obviously has no idea how heart broken she was.
"Sweetie, I love you and I want you to remember that I'll always be here for you. Just get better, please. You're scaring us!" Renee told her daughter before the men put her in a white and blue van and drove off.
End of vision
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!" I yelled as I finished the vision. Jasper came rushing in as soon as he heard me. He had been out, wrestling Emmett.
"Alice? What is it? What did you see?" He asked me in a worried tone. I shook my head and cried tearless sobs.
"Edward has ruined Bella's life!!!! They're taking Bella to an asylum!" I cried as Jasper held me.
"What? How could he do that?" He asked. I could see he cared for Bella a lot and it showed in his eyes. He was a true brother to Bella.

The first round of the Mars One Astronaut Selection Program has now closed for applications. In the five-month application period, Mars One received interest from 202,586 people from around the world, wanting to be amongst the first human settlers on Mars.
Mars One applicants come fr
om over 140 countries; the largest numbers are from the United States (24 percent), India (10 percent), China (6 percent), Brazil (5 percent), Great Britain (4 percent), Canada (4 percent), Russia (4 percent), Mexico (4 percent), Philippines (2 percent), Spain (2 percent), Colombia (2 percent), Argentina (2 percent), Australia (1 percent), France (1 percent), Turkey (1 percent), Chile (1 percent), Ukraine (1 percent), Peru (1 percent), Germany (1 percent), Italy (1 percent) and Poland (1 percent).
From this applicant pool, the Mars One Selection Committee will select prospective Martian settlers in three additional rounds spread across two years. By 2015, six to ten teams of four individuals will be selected for seven years of full-time training. In 2023, one of these teams will become the first humans ever to land on Mars and live there for the rest of their lives.
The current applicants will be screened by the Mars One Selection Committee. This process is expected to take several months. Candidates selected to pass to the next round will be notified by the end of 2013. The second round of selection will start in 2014, where the candidates will be interviewed in person by a Mars One Selection Committee.
Aspiring Martians who have missed Round 1 or could not meet the age restriction can join subsequent Astronaut Selection Programs. Mars One will commence regular recruitment programs as the search for follow-up crews continues.

About Me
I've always loved telling stories. My favorite is the one where I sent the wrong letter to the right missionary. We were married the next summer. I attended LDS Business College where I earned an Associate's in Computer Technology and Brigham Young University where I should have majored in English. I live in a small town nestled in the heart of the Appalachians. When I'm not busy writing, I can be found baking cookies, going to the movies, helping with the homework or catching fireflies with my handsome husband and four adorable children.

TUCSON- The Gem Show, Tucson Rodeo and Matchplay may be in the books but now another big event is boosting the local economy. More than 100 collegiate baseball and softball teams are taking over Tucson this month for the Tucson Invitational Games. It has been around since 2002 but it's really taken off these past couple of years.
From the fields at Kino Sports Complex to the sun-soaked pool, Tucson is the place to be for players and their families.
"I think this is probably the farthest we've come for an away game," said Jeanne Smith, who traveled to see her son play for Iowa-based Simpson College. She left two days of flurries and nine inches of snow to watch the games, and she is not the only fan loving the fair weather.
"They bring visitors here to Tucson and many of them, they just need to come once and they come back," said Ellen Jimenez, associate director of sales at the Radisson on Speedway.
Those visitors mean big business. This year there are 110 teams, requiring more than 9,000 hotel rooms. Organizers estimate the annual event generates between $8 million and $10 million for the city.
"It's a big deal for Tucson," said Director of Baseball Operations Matt Tiggas.
It is also a way to keep Tucsonans close to home for their spring training fix, and the games are only getting bigger.
"Last year we went from 24 teams to 55 teams in baseball," said Tiggas.
"We may come back without the team next year," said Smith. "Especially if we've got nine inches of snow at home."
The softball action goes through March 17, baseball runs through March 30. Games run all day every day at both Kino and Lincoln Park. Click here for schedules.

THE DMA INDUCTS HERSCHELL GORDON LEWIS AND FREDERICK J. SIMON INTO HALL OF FAMEORLANDO, OCTOBER 14, 2003 The Direct Marketing Association (The DMA) Board of Directors today inducted two industry leaders -- Herschell Gordon Lewis (Fort Lauderdale, FL) and Frederick J. Simon (Omaha, NE) -- into The DMA Hall of Fame, the highest professional honor in direct and interactive marketing. Both were formally inducted during a special luncheon at The DMAs 86th Annual Conference & Exhibition in Orlando, FL. Established in 1978, The DMA Hall of Fame honors direct and interactive marketing professionals outstanding career contributions to the practice, growth and stature of the direct and interactive marketing discipline, and now includes 83 honorees. "These men are true leaders in the direct marketing industry," said H. Robert Wientzen, president & CEO, The DMA. "Their contributions to the theory and practice of direct and interactive marketing have had a profound impact on the industry worldwide."HERSCHELL GORDON LEWIS A leading authority on direct response copywriting, Herschell Gordon Lewis provided numerous marketers with the rules, formulas, and techniques for writing effective direct marketing copy for traditional and online media. Lewis is the principal of Lewis Enterprises, a direct response consulting company headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Prior to that he served for 25 years as chairman of the full-service international direct marketing agency Communicomp, a division of True North Diversified Companies. He began his career in direct marketing after an early career in the movie business where he directed 37 films and produced 22 movies. In the early 1970s, Lewis left the movie business and became a direct-mail consultant. He has since written and marketed more than 20 books on the topic, including copywriting, direct and interactive marketing strategies, selling to the mature market, and public relations. Over the past 17 years he has written columns for numerous industry publications worldwide, including the monthly feature, "Creative Strategies" in 200 consecutive issues of DIRECT. He currently writes "Curmudgeon-at-Large" for DIRECT, "Better Letters" for Selling, and is the copy columnist for Catalog Age. His features regularly appear in such international publications as the U.K.'s Direct Marketing International and Catalogue & Mail Order Business, as well as the Australian magazine Marketing. Together with Ian Kennedy and Jerry Reitman, Lewis also produced the video "100 Greatest Direct Response Television Commercials." Lewis has actively supported and motivated tomorrow's direct and interactive marketing leaders over the past 22 years by teaching graduate students in the Mass Communications program at Roosevelt University. He frequently speaks at industry events both in the U.S. -- including DMA events -- and abroad, including Brazil, Denmark, England, France, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the U.K. Lewis has also led numerous copywriting workshops and seminars in many countries, including Australia, Belgium, Dubai, Germany, Holland, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Mexico, and Switzerland. FREDERICK J. SIMON Fred Simon began his career at Omaha Steaks 44 years ago. Under his direction, the company became the nation's largest direct response marketer of gourmet steaks and frozen foods and a leader in all facets of direct marketing, including direct mail, catalogs, telephone marketing, and e-commerce. Simon began his career at Omaha Steaks in 1959 in the plant, where he learned the various cuts of meat. He worked his way up to become the vice president of sales in 1965, and later led the company's direct marketing division. He currently serves as executive vice president and is a member of the Board of Directors of the combined group of Omaha Steaks companies. Throughout his career, Simon stressed the importance of the customer. It was his belief that Omaha Steaks should treat its customers like family. He was the innovator of the company's customer service system, including the opening of the inbound call center in 1975 and the installation of a dedicated inbound toll-free customer service line in 1979. He developed Omaha Steaks' "You Must Be Thrilled" policy, which states that if for any reason a customer is not thrilled with products received that the company will refund their money or replace the product without exceptions. This policy helped to establish the credibility of direct marketing by instilling a confidence in the company. In 1976 he opened the first Omaha Steaks retail store. Today the company has more than 70 stores in 14 states.His pioneering spirit led the way for frozen-food mail-order marketers by developing a polystyrene container that provided shipments with an eight-day in-transit life. He also persuaded United Parcel Service to deliver packages in spite of their perishability. Simon has shared a wealth of direct marketing knowledge and expertise by frequently speaking at industry conferences and writing for numerous trade journals. He has authored four books -- The Steak Lover's Companion (co-authored with John Harrison), Beef for All Seasons, Let's Grill, and Meat. Simon serves as a mentor to his staff and is an active supporter of the Direct Marketing Educational Foundation (DMEF), which helps train tomorrow's direct and interactive marketing leaders. He served as a member of The DMA Board of Directors from 1972 to 1978 and as a Trustee of the DMEF. Simon is also the recipient of the Edward C. Jones Community Service Award given by the American Meat Institute. About The DMA Hall of Fame Each year, The DMA Board of Directors may elect as many as four leaders to The DMA Hall of Fame.

Stimulating Energy Efficiency Action in States
Under the State Energy Program, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) competitively awarded $2.86 million in September, 2010, to assist states in developing policy and program frameworks to support investment in cost-effective energy efficiency for the long term. The focus of these agreements is to help states that are not harvesting low-cost energy efficiency resources become leaders in reducing energy use.
For the purposes of this funding opportunity, states that are not harvesting low-cost energy efficiency resources are defined as:
States that have achieved less than 0.5% savings relative to electricity sales based on 2007 data from the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy's 2009 State Energy Efficiency Scorecard; or
States that have invested less than 1% of total electricity or gas revenues on energy efficiency (from the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy's 2009 State Energy Efficiency Scorecard); or
A state that does not meet this definition based on 2007 data can provide convincing evidence that it is below either of the thresholds above, using data from 2008 or 2009.
The award funding assists states in stimulating ground-level development of results-based policies and programs that will aggressively reduce energy use through cost-effective energy efficiency, and bring the state to have similar levels of annual savings from energy efficiency as today's leading states. Each award consists of two phases:
Phase 1: States are required to establish an annual energy savings target of at least 1% through energy efficiency and develop an action plan to achieve the established target. Under Phase 1, states review the goals and steps outlined in the National Action Plan for Energy Efficiency Vision for 2025: A Framework for Change to inform the process of setting the target and developing the action plan.
Phase 2: States are required to begin execution of the action plan developed in Phase 1. Execution of the action plan may include the adoption of new energy efficiency policies in the state, and the implementation of utility and/or other statewide programs that will deliver energy savings to consumers through energy efficiency.
The general steps in Phase 1 and Phase 2 are:
The program and policy frameworks developed to achieve the established target will be created through a collaborative and inclusive stakeholder process in the states. The process is led by the state energy offices, and key stakeholders likely include governors, legislators, consumer advocates, public utility commissions, utilities, nongovernment organizations, and others. The collaborative stakeholder process is expected to build on the foundation of the National Action Plan for Energy Efficiency.
The selected states and U.S. territory under the DOE Funding Opportunity Announcement are: Alaska, Kentucky, Mississippi, Puerto Rico, and Texas.
You can read background and supporting information about this program on the following websites:
- Funding Opportunity Announcement (April 2010) for these awards
- National Action Plan for Energy Efficiency, including the tools and resources for states
- State Energy Efficiency Action Network (SEE Action), including resources for state and local governments.

Equations of Life (Book 1 of the Metrozone series)
Simon Morden
Orbit, 2011
You are now entering the London Metrozone. The time is 7:35, two decades after Armageddon. MIND THE GAP.
Protagonist Samuil Petrovitch is a young, brilliant, wise-cracking physics student living in the chaos and squalor of the Metrozone – the last city left in England after a nuclear war decimated the planet two decades previously. Refugees have flooded in from all over the world; makeshift flats are built from shipping containers; Hyde Park is filled with the dead and the dying. But among these terrible scenes move a cast of colourful and eccentric characters: laconic policemen, gun-toting nuns, crazed doomsayers, and huge immigrant criminal organisations, chief among them Marchenkho's Ukranians and the Japanese Oshicoras. Petrovitch himself is a refugee from Russia, having fled the fallout to take up a place at Imperial College. There, he and his colleague Pif work away at the equations that will unlock 'the theory of everything', opening up the mysteries of the universe to humankind. That, and Petrovitch tries to keep his head down, stay unnoticed and, most importantly, not die. But the Metrozone won't let him off that easily, and when Petrovitch accidentally saves the daughter of Hamano Oshicora, he is sucked into its dirty, double-crossing, and downright dangerous underworld. And there are more surprises waiting there than he'd bargained for…
Welcome to Simon Morden's Metrozone series. If you're on the lookout for a dystopian thriller with plentiful lashings of humour, Equations of Life could be your thing. It's fun, fast-paced, and mischievous, crammed with gun battles, car chases, and general chaos. Fans of Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash will recognise its exuberant OTT-ness – and although Equations of Life does not reach the same level as this eminent forebear, it's definitely an enjoyable romp.
Unfortunately, whilst I enjoy the occasional romp, my tastes veer more towards the character-driven side of the tracks. And I'm inclined to say that if you, like me, prefer stories that pack emotional punches rather than physical ones, you might want to look elsewhere. Morden's characters are vivid and fun, but they weren't fleshed-out enough for my liking. The emotional moments seemed to me stilted and rushed, as though Morden was eager to get them over with and launch us back into another gunfight. Whilst I realise that this maintained the book's pace, and kept the adrenaline pumping throughout, it left me dissatisfied and unconvinced by the characters' interactions. This was especially true of Sister Madeleine and Petrovitch; although I did warm to their friendship as the book continued, it was more a case of suspending disbelief rather than accepting their emotional arc.
Petrovitch himself was quite difficult to get a handle on. I definitely liked him and rooted for him, and especially admired the way Morden created him as physically frail, with a failing heart and bad eyesight – certainly not your standard action-hero, no sirree. Still, I wanted a bit more from him emotionally. The setup is promising: Morden hints that Petrovitch has a mysterious past, which is then slowly revealed as the book goes on. This is all well and good – except that I never really got a sense of how this past really affected Petrovitch, apart from in fairly superficial ways. What I found most grating, I think, was his continuous smart-ass manner. In places, Petrovitch's one-liners were well placed, and very funny, but elsewhere I found myself wishing that he would stop being so goddamned precocious and express more doubt, more fear (especially considering that he's supposed to be quite young). I would have loved, for example, for Petrovitch's sarcastic nature to be revealed – at least partly – as a defensive front, a coping mechanism through which he deals with his and the world's horrific circumstances. That would have been ace. But sadly, even when Petrovitch does open up to the other characters about his past, this doesn't seem to be the case: he's as witty as ever.
Perhaps I am being unfair. This is, after all, only the first book in Morden's series, and it could be that I'm pre-empting him. But if so, I fear that the deeper character insights will come too late for readers such as myself.
Unfortunately, I had similar misgivings about the setting. The Metrozone is certainly a 'cool' idea in a morbid sort of way, and I do have a soft spot for the grungy post-apocalyptic aesthetic – but again I'd like for the book to have dug deeper under its surface. I mean, this place is awful, right? People have flocked there to avoid radiation poisoning, or because their home countries have been wiped off the map. People go to Hyde Park to die in hordes. And yet the horrors of the situation don't really seem to impact on the characters or the storyline very much. OK, so they've lived there for a long time and they would be hardened to it to some extent, and sure, sister Madelaine cries when she and Petrovitch have to go through the park, but the feeling I came away with was that the post-Armageddon scenario was convenient. That is to say, it provided a nifty setting in which the characters could run free and bash/shoot/blow things up without real fear of imprisonment or consequences.
Also, there were many things about the setting that didn't work for me, at least not unless I was given more explanation… For example: there are still cars and computers and all kinds of things being produced in, or shipped into, the Metrozone. Is this feasible? I mean, who's making them? Where? How are they getting their resources when the world's gone to sh*t? How do people still have money to buy them? Haven't the banks collapsed? And how come Petrovitch and Pif are still using paper with apparent abandon – has the environment not been affected by this world-changing nuclear war (which didn't happen all that long ago, remember)? Or was it, despite being called 'Armageddon', not actually 'that bad'? Is the world already well on the way to recovery? TELL ME MORE I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS IS ALL WORKING.
Again, I may be pre-empting Morden here; later books will hopefully weave in more detail. But as a fan (and student) of apocalyptic literature, I didn't get a sense of why it mattered that Equations of Life was set in a post-fallout scenario.
But perhaps I'm taking this all too seriously. Equations of Life isn't The Road, after all – and it's not meant to be. It's energetic, it's amusing, and it will keep you reading. (It's also got a really funky cover. I mean, look at that! So awesome.) If those qualities tick your boxes, then hop on for the ride – just ignore the gaps.
