The Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) trade regime: Opportunities and challenges for BotswanaMokhawa, G.; Osei-Hwedie, B. (Botswana Society, http://www.botsoc.org.bw, NaN, 2003)[more][less]
Abstract: For a long time now, African countries have been demanding increased trade with the developed economies of the West as a means to promote economic development. 'Trade not aid,' has become the hallmark of this demand. Increased trade is to be realized through preferential access to developed economies markets, especially in manufactured goods. It is hoped that exports of manufactured goods would propel industrialization and help diversify economies away from traditional raw material exports. The USA has responded to Africa's demands through the Africa Growth Opportunity Act (AGOA) that allows Africa access to the world's biggest and most lucrative market. This article examines the objectives of, and benefits under, AGOA with a view to analysing the opportunities it creates for Botswana's economic diversification into manufacturing, especially in the case of textiles and apparel industries; and the challenges it poses for Botswana. Analysis of the challenges help us to highlight not only Botswana's internal weaknesses and problems but also that of the AGOA provisions, as well as pose the question of who benefits, helping us unravel the US motives behind AGOA.

Maundeni, T. (Routledge Taylor and Francis Group, NaN, 1999)[more][less]
Abstract: This article draws on existing literature and a field study conducted by the writer to explore the problems faced by African females when studying abroad. A comparative perspective is adopted and, whilst it is recognised that women are particularly disadvantaged in general, the principal thesis is that African women are particularly disadvantaged, especially when they undertake studies abroad. The article describes and analyses the disadvantages faced by women broadly throughout the world, by African women in general and in education in particular, and the difficulties they face when studying abroad. The implications for policy practice and research are considered and some short-and long-term strategies suggested whereby improvements could be effected.

Ntseane, D.; Maundeni, T. (Pula: Botswana Journal of African Studies, www.thuto.org/pula/html/, NaN, 2004)[more][less]
Abstract: Based on the premise that children in the 21st century face numerous problems that affect their educational, social, psychological, and physical well being, this article argues that social workers are needed in Botswana schools to help students deal with the psychosocial problems that hinder effective learning. Such problems include truancy and school drop-outs, divorce, H1V/A1DS, poverty, child abuse, substance abuse, low-selfesteem, teenage pregnancy, sexual harassment and lack of support services. Children cope differently with psychosocial challenges. Some are resilient and can thrive in the face of adversity; others cannot. The latter can benefit greatly from planned interventions by social workers. This article aims to spark debate and further research among stakeholders involved in issues of social work and education.

Balogi, K.T.O. (Pula: Botswana Journal of African Studies, NaN, 2004)[more][less]
Abstract: Since the 1980s, some major villages in Botswana have experienced an increase in deviance and crime among youth. This deviance is often manifested in an escalation of criminal gangs that are mostly male in composition. The intense search for the causes of this problem by traditional and modern custodians of law often blame parents' inability to control and guide their children. This paper explores some of the difficulties of regarding the family as either the cause or the potential solution to the problem of youth deviance and crime. Blaming families fails to take into account the effects of societal changes that undermine the effectiveness of the family as an agent of social control. Drawing on existing literature, this paper concludes that it is no longer useful to assume the centrality of the family in combating youth crime. Poverty, unemployment, changes in marriage patterns and divorce must also be taken into account, as all of these have serious implications on the structure and agency of the family. This calls for a baseline study on the family to put the fundamental issues of its structure and agency into proper socio-economic and cultural perspective.

Setlhare, L. (John Wiley, www.wiley.com, NaN, 2004)[more][less]
Abstract: This paper examines how monetary policy was actually conducted in Botswana, by specifying and estimating a monetary reaction function for the Bank of Botswana (BoB). Basically, a monetary reaction function (MRF) for a central bank is an equation that is intended to establish the goals that have actually been influencing the actions of the central bank. A MRF would exist if the monetary authorities (or BoB in particular) have been purposeful and reasonably consistent in the policy-making process. Thus, a study of a MRF provides a test on whether the monetary policy-making process has been characterised by systematic (if it exists) or random (if it does not exist) changes in the policy instrument(s).

Mokgatlhe, L.; Groenewald, P.C.N. (Elsevier, http://www.elsevier.com, NaN, 2005)[more][less]
Abstract: A method for the simulation of samples from the exact posterior distributions of the parameters in logistic regression is proposed. It is based on the principle of data augmentation and a latent variable is introduced, similar to the approach of Albert and chib (J. Am. Stat. Assoc. 88 (1993) 669), who applied it to the probit model. In general, the full conditional distributions are intractable, but with the introductions of the latent variable all conditional distributions are uniform, and the Gibbs sampler is easily applicable. Marginal likelihoods for model selection can be obtained at the expense of additional Gibbs cycles. The technique is extended and can be applied with nominal or ordinal polychotomous data.

Abstract: This paper aims to show trends and variations in the Botswana Pula exchange rate before and after the introduction of the crawling-peg exchange rate system. The survey indicates that previous devaluations not accompanied by the crawling-peg exchange rate system were short-lived. It is shown that since the adoption of the crawling-peg exchange rate system the Pula has been depreciating. Additionally, the variance and the standard deviation revealed that variations in the nominal bilateral Pula exchange rates have been minimal since the adoption of the crawling-peg exchange rate system. To corroborate the foregoing, both the variance and the standard deviation are computed for the nominal and real effective exchange rate of the pula against major currencies using quarterly data. The findings also suggest that the variations have been minimal after the crawling peg. This is shown by small variance and the standard deviation of both the nominal and real effective exchange rates. This implies stability in the Pula exchange rate and positive results of the crawling-peg exchange rate policy regime. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/1008 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Regional integration is a necessity for sustainable development and the generation of dynamic growth amongst SADC countries. For real integration to be achieved, there is a need for deep integration, which allows countries to surrender part of their sovereignty to a supranational power that will be responsible for bringing in uniformity amonst member nations in terms of policies and action. Countries in the region, even those like Botswana that have done well economically, share problems of poverty, high unemployment and disparuty in income distribution. Botswana, however, has some lessons to offer to the region, coming mainly from its prudent management of the economy, democracy and peace. As regional integration may lead to underinvestment in skills development if not properly coordinated, countries need to pursue employment creation more vigorously.

Mogalakwe, M. (Pula: Botswana Journal of African Studies, NaN, 2003)[more][less]
Abstract: About a decade ago, the left learning Review of African Political Economy (ROAPE) published an article by Hoogvelt et al 1992)entitled: 'The World Bank and Africa: A Case of Mistaken Identity.' The article criticized the World Bank's simplistic tendency to lump together African countries as if Africa is one entity. In their critique of the World Bank's simplistic methodology, the authors cite several statements from the bank's reports that posit, inter alia, that Africa is facing deepening crisis because of weak economic growth, low levels of manufacturing, poor export performance, declining industrial output, climbing debt, falling per capita incomes, low levels of investments and savings, weak institutional capacity and deteriorating social indicators, all compounded by accelerating population growth.

Abstract: Even though HIV/AIDS affects people of all gender and age, most HIV research in Botswana has mainly focused on either girls or women, neglecying the boy child. This paper discusses the reasons for this neglect, explores the various factors that predispose the boy child to HIV infection and concludes by outlining strategies for the wayforward. The paper points out the need for more reliable data on the number of boys infected with HIV and calls for intensive HIV education with special emphasis on skills and social norms. It argues that the key challenges in addressing the needs of boys at risk of HIV infection lay in convincing the public that children have to be tested for HIV and, deconstructing traditional concepts of masculinity in ways that fit new realities.

Abstract: This chapter reviews Botswana's integrity mechanisms within the business sector. It examines the role of the state owned businesses, by far the majority in Botswana,as well as the emerging privately owned business sector. It compares the role of various kinds of legislation relating to unlisted and listed companies, and the role of oversight bodies. In addition to relying on legislation and practice relating to business in Botswana, the authors of this chapter conducted an extensive survey of listed and unlisted companies, and conducted interviews with people in the business sector.

Abstract: The 1990s began with a commitment to children through the adoption, by the United Nations General Assembly, of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. This Convention set the minimum standards of protection for children's survival, health and education; protection against exploitation at work; protection against the degradations of war; and protection against physical and sexual abuse. By 20th July, 1994, 163 countries had ratified the Convention and 11 other countries had signed but not yet ratified the convention (World Health Organization, 1994:1).

Abstract: Based on a recognition that men's abuse of women has an impact on children, there is much that social work can do to address the problem of children living with domestic violence. Using findings of a study on children's experiences of parental separation and divorce in Botswana. this paper focuses on children's experiences of violence in the family as well as on perceptions of how the violence affected them. The paper concludes with a discussion of the implications for social work. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/878 Files in this item: 1

Ntsabane, T. (Pula: Botswana Journal of African Studies, NaN, 2003)[more][less]
Abstract: Southern Africa has through much of its 20th century history been characterised by a centre~periphery regional economic system. At the centre has been South Africa(minus its African reserves) and the rest of the region the periphery. Key has been the migrant labour system whereby the centre has been able to extract cheap labour from its periphery. The cheapness, however, is disputed by among others Burawoy (1976). The labour- supplying periphery was actually composed of two tiers. On the one hand were the African Reserves, comprising the Transkei, Ciskei, Bophuthatswana, etc., politically a part of South Africa. On the other hand were the independent states of Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland, Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/893 Files in this item: 1

Mookodi, G.B. (Pula: Botswana Journal of African Studies, NaN, 2000)[more][less]
Abstract: The concept of female-headed household has emerged as an important analytical category in the examination of poverty in life chances both within the context of policy research and social science scholarship. This paper presents the complexities that arise in the use of the concept of female-headed household within the context of Botswana. The paper presents some of the criticisms that the concept of headship in itself presents a monolithic and often limited notion of social organisation that fails to take into account complex gendered social interactions that occur within and outside the confines of domestic units. The results of a study conducted in 1996 reveal the complex interplay of cultural-structure and individual agency that are obscured by discrete notions of 'headship'.

Abstract: The nature of the work of a nurse incorporates several distinctive and stressful features which include dealing with crises, the continuous physical and emotional demands of patients, and daily confrontation with pain, suffering, and death (Douglas, Meleis, Eribes and Kim 1996; Hillhouse and Adler 1997; van Wijk 1997). As a result, nurses experience higher rates of stress- related disease, mortality, suicide, psychiatric admissions, and general physical illness than does the general population (Harris 1989.

Sebudubudu, D. (Botswana Society, NaN, 2003)[more][less]
Abstract: Botswana is widely perceived as a succesful working democracy in Africa. What is striking about Botswana is that one party dominance over the past 36 years has not led to a proliferation of corruption as it did in most African countries. However, in 1994, Botswana established a specialised anti-corruption agency, the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime (DCEC), following a series of corruption scandals. The DCEC combats both corruption and economic crime i.e. thefts and frauds perpetrated on the public revenue. The focus of this article is on the DCEC, the reasons for establishing it, and the nature of its performance. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/981 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This article attempts to analyse the trends and patterns relating to the past eight general elections in Botswana, from the pre-independence period in 1965 to 1999. Factors that have influenced elections in the last eight years will be discussed, and trends established for the same period. Data from various past election reports and analysis carried out by other researchers will be referred to in this article. The data used will be derived from; the total number of potential voters in Botswana; the number of electorate who registered for the elections and the number who actually voted. Percentages of the electorate who registered and actually voted, the ratio of electorate who voted to potential voters, and the ratio of voted to registered voters will be discussed. The electoral trend of percentage of voters by party and by number, and percentages of national assembly seats by political parties that contested in the last eight general elections will be studied. A summary and conclusions on these factors and lessons to be learned from the experiences of the past eight elections will be included. These experiences will be beneficial to all the political parties in the country, and the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) in particular, which has won the 1999 general elections with an overwhelming victory. The BDP government and political parties should learn from the past experiences, and develop an improved and effective performance for the government.

Molomo, M.G. (Pula: Botswana Journal of African Studies, NaN, 2000)[more][less]
Abstract: This article outlines that the Constitution of Botswana provides for an executive presidency with extensive powers. Unlike other constitutions in the region where power is vested with the people, in Botswana it is vested with the President. While democratic procedures have not been flaunted in Botswana, in a situation where one political party dominates both the executive and the legislative branches of government, there is cause for concern. In this situation, the checks and balances provided for in the constitution are almost redundant. The declaration of the state of emergency and the granting of the Vice-President, Ian Khama, sabbatical leave by the President are examples where the President used his executive powers. This article concludes that given the wide-ranging executive powers that the President enjoys, there is a strong case for presidential elections. In that way, the president would be directly elected by the electorate and therefore directly accountable to them. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/897 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: In this anicle, data from a survey conducted in March 1999 by the University of Botswana Democracy Research Project in fifteen constituencies in Botswana is used to examine the relationship between party preference and selected demographic characteristics namely, age, sex, place of residence and education. Bivariate analysis results indicate the ruling BDP is the only party that enjoys higher support among women and among rural dwellers. Opposition parties, on the other hand, have a stronger suppon base among middle-aged people in the 29-49 years age bracket. The results also indicate that the level of education tends to have a major role in determining party preference. The last section of the article critically discusses these findings.

Abdullah II bin al-Hussein OIH (Arabic: الملك عبد الله الثاني بن الحسين, al-Malik ʿAbdullāh aṯ-ṯānī bin al-Ḥusayn; born 30 January 1962) is the reigning King of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. He ascended the throne on 7 February 1999 after the death of his father King Hussein. King Abdullah, whose mother is Princess Muna al-Hussein, is a member of the Hashemite family. Since 1993, Abdullah has been married to Queen Rania of Jordan.
Abdullah was born in Amman to King Hussein of Jordan during his marriage to the Englishwoman Toni Gardiner Princess Muna al-Hussein. He was the king's eldest son and as such he was automatically heir apparent to the throne of Jordan under 1952 constitution. However, due to unstable times in the 1960s, King Hussein decided to appoint his brother, Prince Hassan bin Talal, as his heir.
King Abdullah II attended Deerfield Academy in Deerfield, Massachusetts. He joined the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in 1980, was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant, and served as a platoon leader in the 13th/18th Royal Hussars. In 1982, King Abdullah II attended Pembroke College at Oxford University where he completed a one-year Special Studies course in Middle Eastern Affairs. In 1987, he attended the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.

@Pixel-Perfect I'm almost convinced it can be done with literally anything.
@CanisWolfred Do it, do it, do it, do it!
@Yukari_Sendo Okay, so you actually went for Amber... I dunno, she always seemed too childish for my tastes. Whenever I pass by with Forte, she goes "Aww... That looks like fun!", something I've never heard any teen/young adult say, ever. Amber's character should be loved more as a child than a bachelorette IMO.
- This came out before
- This isn't the only good game on 3DS
- Sonic isn't that bad. Like most games (with the exception of 06 and Secret Rings), some enjoyment can be found despite the issues. (Yes, I liked Shadow the Hedgehog, and I have met another living, breathing human who liked it too.)
@Pixel-Perfect Trust me, I wish games were more progressive as well, but what flies in Japan often doesn't elsewhere...
@Pixel-Perfect Sadly not; they did try to implement it in a previous Harvest Moon game, but they got a lot of crap for it before the game even went international (not because it had same-sex relations, but because of how they treated it as something childish and worth-undermining). Since Natsume/Marvelous knows just how backwards the rest of the world can be at times, they chose to play it safe on that front.
Let us focus on the greater issue here: the fact that the US government is so dysfunctional, it can't even bother properly stocking it's overseas, and other, bases, yet somehow, the lazy people sitting beneath the roof of the White House still get paid in this madman's shuffle.
...I need this...
No joke: Rune Factory 4 grabbed my expectations by the neck and launched them into orbit; it was just an amazing game, and I have no doubts this will not let me down.
Seriously though, look at the fluffy...
Meh... EOIV didn't really resonate with me...that said, the last ATLUS game I doubted was SMTIV, and then it totally broke me with its endings... :_:
Speaking of which, does anyone know if Soul Harckers' story/endings are as morbid and scarring as SMTIV's?
I played the demo, and I was somewhat disappointed... The characters are literally just blank templates with zero substance. I know the review said this wasn't a character-driven game, but this is just sad... Everyone's just as disposable as the next, being nothing more than art.
The dungeons are hard for sure, but the effects are really bad. I'm not the biggest fan of the 1st person dungeon either, since the 3D is mostly useless.
Overall, I don't think I'm gonna get EOIV...
@element187 The way you're describing it sounds a lot like SMTIV (which I'm totally okay with). I'll just download the demo and get a general idea of what's going on.
Hmm... Should I spend that free 30$ on EO4? I heard it was reeeeeaaaaallllyyyy hard (and SMTIV already beat me up several times without an easy mode).
@crumpledpapyrus Not to be picky, but an anime implies a whole series is going to be made. If it's a one-off, shouldn't be considered and OVA (Original Video Animation)?
I remember playing with Beyblades as a kid; we had these unliscenced ones a store was selling nearby with these huge metal blades and metal rings on the side. They were bigger and heavier than the top, and I remember destroying my arena at school. Ah, good times :3
Speaking of things that need to come back, Chaotoc needs to be popular again. I thought it was a great and varied card game that could be easily understood by everyone with spending countless hours learning (looking at you, Yu-Gi-Oh...). The show characters were all really detailed, and the animation was great, and it went the Pokemon route by explaining how you could better play the game through watching the program.
Meh, I'm quite pleased actually; although, it doesn't take much to please me.
Personally, a good game is anything I have fun with (which is why I like Shadow the Hedgehog in the first place).
As long Nintendo remembers to make something on the scope of Sunshine and Galaxy and doesn't go the CoD way, I'm fine with whatever they do.
@Kaze_Memaryu I'm just saying a Light type won't happen because it doesn't need to happen. There is no "Dark" type in Japanese: just a "Malicious" type. Because NoA has little to no say in the games (and because there really isn't a need for such a vague type), Light might never actually happen.
As for Fairy type, take a look at the representation of fairies in mythology. Bulbapedia has an excellent article on it right now, which I am about to quote:
Legends first: we don't need to look any further than the King Arthur legends, and the character of Morgan le Fay, (a transliteration of the French "La fée Morganne", Morgan the fairy). She is Arthur's half-sister, the aunt (or, in modern interpretations, mother) of Mordred, who kills Arthur. She is, in other words, human...but she's also a powerful magic user, an enchantress, and that's what earns her the name of fay.
This doesn't apply only to legends: we can look at theater, where no one less than William Shakespeare present us with his take on fairies in A Midsummer Night's Dream. The characters of the king and queen of the fairies, Oberon and Titania, are central to the work, and given that Titania having a mortal man for her lover is a significant plot element, we can safely assume she's not meant to be a Tinker Bell-sized character.
Much more recently, we have fantasy literature. Many authors have depicted fairies in their fantasy stories. But we don,t need to look any further than JRR Tolkien, the author of Lord of the Rings and father of modern fantasy. Tolkien's own stories certainly had no bug-winged diminutive magic users, but the term he used to refer to his own genre was fairy-stories. To him, faerie meant the world of enchantments, magic and legends, in opposition to the mundane world (to Tolkien, in fact, dragons themselves were very, very much part of faerie). His stories involved a character crossing from the mundane to faerie, thus they were fairy stories.
I'm only scratching the surface here: I could refer to other authors of modern fantasy (For example, Jim Butcher's Dresden Files, where faeries range from Tinker Bell-like characters to human-shaped fairy queens, going through unicorns and trolls all the way to Santa Claus along the way). I could refer to folktales, I wouldn't need to look any further than the old tales about Mont Saint-Hilaire in Quebec, near where I grew up, and where old tales say fairy-queens once married mortal men. I could refer to pen and paper role-playing games, to video games
What these characters and definitions have in common; and what they share with Tinker Bell and Navi, is not diminutive size or bug wings: it's that, at its heart, fairy, fay and faerie are all about otherness and magic, the things that are outside the normal world. That includes things like Tinker Bell and Navi; but it goes far beyond that.
In essence, it's probably much better to think of the fairy-type as a magic- or spirit- type than as a Tinker Bell type. Taken that way, fairy sound less "stupid" and more like a very interesting addition to the type array. And I'm sure I don't need to point out that magic being strong against dragons is not really a new idea.
TL:DR: Light doesn't exist as a type because it doesn't need to, and Fairies are more of a magic type. Typically, it's magic that kills dragons.
@Wii_Win You know certain Pokemon have the ability "soundproof", right? Such a type would render those moves ineffective. Plus, sound isn't really my idea of an attacking type.
The "Fairy" type's original Japanese is probably closer to "mysterious", "elegant", "charming", "enchanted" or "whimsical". Almost any one of these definitions seem to fit the given Pokemon so far.
Most of the problems with the game stem from its name.
While not game breaking and radically different, this is clearly not an extension to 3D land (like the "New" series are to each other), but brings more than just a gimmick or two. Instead, the new material seems quite interesting.
A "Light" type will never happen, guys. Here's why: "Dark" is just the English translation. The actual Japanese name for the dark type is closer in meaning to "Trickster", "Cheater", or "Dirty fighter".
The way the trifecta works in Japanese is as follows:
-An honorable fighter (Fighting) will always prevail over a dirty cheater (Dark) but will be stumped by a psychic's predicting abilities (Psychic)
-A psychic (Psychic) can predict a good fighter's (Fighting) every move but can't wrap his head around a dirty trickster/cheaters' ways (Dark)
-The sly nature of the trickster (Dark) baffles those wise of mind (Psychic) but a just and fair fighter (Fighter) will see through a cheater's ways
The name lacks a certain flow to it.
"a Link between Worlds" sound very dry and cuts too early. Maybe something like "A Link Between New Worlds" or "A Link Between Two Worlds" would sound better?
Again, minor linguistic complaint. I'm still stocked for this though
I remember being in 3rd grade, and seeing all the older kids with their Gameboy Advances and wondering what they were playing (since I was born when Gen 1 was released, I grew up with Gen 3 <3).
It only took me two months after receiving my GBASP to know all 386 Pokemon (at the time) and beat FireRed 5 times.
Since, I've beaten FireRed 57 times (because I was the only one at school who could fluently read English, so all the kids I grew up with in Quebec asked for my help), memorized all 649 Pokemon and own/played every single main series game along with most of the spinoff.
Hurray for Pokemania and addiction.
The only thing I don't like is how friggin insulting that grass texture is. It's just a plane you colored green! >:[
@Big-Daddy Great game for beginners. Unlike the other games, this one revolves around you (building the town little by little), meaning the game's events flow at your pace. The festivals and townspeople will gradually appear the further you progress, and you won't feel thrown in the middle of everything not knowing what to do.
Truly, this is a must have game.
After seeing the "customization" options, I don't know if I should kiss the GameFreak staff or punch them all in the face...

Corsair's beauty.Pros: Excellent keyboard. Typing takes some getting used to coming from non mechanical to mechanical. smooth keypress, excellent layout. Cons: I dont know if others out there have this same issue, but key ghosting. I use "WASD" keys frequently, and every so often one of the keys seems to stick. the switch itself isnt stuck, which is weird. also wish all the g keys were mechanical, unfortunatly the K95 came out about 2 weeks after purchasing this. Other Thoughts: score one for corsair, although the ghosting is annoying. Did you find this review helpful? |
Perfect KeyboardPros: Love the feel of the keys. Not loud and obnoxious. All features have worked great and lighting is very cool. Cons: none Did you find this review helpful? |
Built like a tankPros: I like the keyboard. My first mechanical. Types fast. Solid construction. Thick braided cord is great quality. Cons: The MMO keys have proven useless to me, even though I've been playing some MMOs. They make the keyboard too wide. The LED backlight reflects too much off the aluminum frame. I would prefer the light only come out of the keys themselves. The media control keys are too out-of-the-way (recessed) for regular use. Braided cord doesn't bend/flex easily (minor issue). At first the num-caps-scroll lock lights were a little too bright for my taste so I covered them with sticky paper, but now I'm used to them. They're not very bright, though. Other Thoughts: Many reviews complain that they keyboard isn't 100% mechanical but that hasn't bothered me. Their new revision is fully mechanical so get that if you want that (the K95, I think). Did you find this review helpful? |
Used to work until just NOWPros: Awesome keyboard when it was working.... Cons: All of the sudden, it just died on me, luckily NOT while in game, but just randomly typing an email...was working just fine while chatting a few seconds before that....restarted PC, reinstalled drivers, nothing, it doesn't even show up anywhere and won't register as being ON, it DOES weirdly flash it's blue LEDs while hitting random buttons on it... but no INPUT/OUTPUT to screen. Using a logitech for substitution in the meantime. Did you find this review helpful? |
Style and PerformancePros: Cherry MX Red mechanical keys are a vast improvement from the typical rubber dome type keyboards that I've used all my life. Typing speed and accuracy have gone through the roof. Pre-mech keyboard speed approx. 80WPM, now I'm at about 100WPM. Fatigue is also lessened due to the keys needing less force to activate etc. Cons: At the time of purchase, this was one of the two mechanical keyboards Corsair offered. And both of them used mechanical keys on the main typing section, arrow keys, and numpad. Other Thoughts: Amazing keyboard, with added function and style. My kind of thinking, as I care about styling and design a whole lot. Did you find this review helpful? |
Corsair k90Pros: Cherry MX red switches (mechanical), comfortable, clicky and tactile, good media keys, backlit, keys are easy to remove and put back again, anti-ghosting <--( i really like this feature) Cons: Not all keys are backlit and fully mechanical, that takes away an egg. Other Thoughts: I do spam alot while gaming and this is really helpful in sticky situations while gaming. My old 5$ keyboard didn't give as much responsiveness, and it was not tactile or clicky. This is a really big improvement when i bought this keyboard. Did you find this review helpful? |
Amazing keyboardPros: Best performing and looking keyboard that I can think of. Very strong and beautiful LEDS. Very nice feel and amazing aluminum finish. Definitely worth the money. Cons: wrist rest material is starting to fade and gets to be kind of an eye sore after awhile, good thing it's detachable. Other Thoughts: If you're going to buy this to replace your crummy old keyboard, you'll be blown away. Planning on buying another as a gift. Did you find this review helpful? |
Love itPros: Simplicity Cons: All are lit but certain have the full brightness when back lit Other Thoughts: None Did you find this review helpful? |
K90 Solid gaming boardPros: -Solid build, feels quality and sturdy Cons: -I have zero prior macro recording experience with keyboards. The basics are super easy using utility software, but anything advanced is very tricky to work into macros. Other Thoughts: It's a great keyboard, fantastic upgrade over ANY non-mechanical. There are plenty of macro-keys for the taking; however, setting them up for any specific in-game control has been impossible for me (lack of info online & lack of prior experience). 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
MY first mechanical keyboardPros: -nice response Cons: -keys are a bit too soft for me Other Thoughts: This is my first mechanical keyboard so I didn't know about the soft/hard grading of the key pressures. I find that this key is a bit too soft for me. The keys are also "raised" up more than normal because of its low design, which takes getting used to. Overall, good keyboard, if a bit expensive. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

I'm sure that by now, even if you're still writing "03" when you date your checks and scratching it out, many of you have already hung your new calendars up on the wall or put a new one on your desk. Calendars for the new year are always popular gifts for the holidays.
This year, I received two calendars as Christmas presents. One was a wall calendar with inspirational Bible verses from my mother. Good old mom, making sure I don't lose track of what's important in 2004. My old roommate always had a few of these inspirational calendars every year. His desk was covered with "small stuff" and "chicken soup" calendars, the kind that give you a little bit of advice or piece of wisdom to ponder every day of the year. And for those of you who like religious calendars but already feel inspired enough, there was the "Nuns Having Fun" calendar this year. I'm sure that many of us know people who dread going to work, and so, for them, we have those humorous box calendars with comic strips or something, just to give them a little laugh while they slave away at the office every day. Then, for those friends with too much testosterone or machismo, there's always the classic swimsuit or Playboy calendar, which I never really understood. The picture might be interesting at first glance, but not for a whole month. And when someone is considering what gift to get me, I hope they don't automatically think of me spending the next year staring at my wall calendar, gaping at some model on a beach very, very far away. I'd rather receive some interesting advice or get a little chuckle every time I turn the page. I like the calendars that make us think about the important things and also the ones that remind us not to take those things that seriously. I have a notion that I'll be spending much of 2004 on the other timetable I got for Christmas, a Simpsons trivia calendar for my desk. So, the friend who gave it to me can rest assured that I'll spend at least a little bit of my time every day testing my knowledge of a cartoon.

The Loyola Maroon Vol. XLII Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, December 10, 1965 No. 9 Joan Bouise Cops Top Blue Key Honors Pilie, Regents Chairman, Attacks Educational Trend By GEOFFREY BROWN Dianne L.

Greco, Jacqueline L. Jones, Susan M. Lauxman, Joan A. Leckert, Howard S. Linzy, Mary J. Liuzza, Michael P. Morgan, Richard G. Ness, Gary E. San- The trend to more specialized education, one of several problems arising from automation and technological progress, was attacked by Louis H. Pilie, chairman of Loyola's Board of Regents, in his address to the Homecoming Honors convocation Monday morning in the Field- house. Pilie emphasized that this trend should be resisted and that a more general, liberal arts education should be encouraged. "Our greatest promise rests in constant improvement of liberal, full-purpose education," he said. Four Loyola alumni of the golden anniversary class, 1915, and 93 outstanding students were honored at the convoca- The four alumni were the only members of the class of 1915 able to attend out of a total of 13 surviving graduates of that year. Edward E. Levy Jr., president of the Loyola alumni association, introduced the four who were then presented with plaques by the Very Rev. Andrew C. Smith, S.J., president of the university. They were: George D. Comeaux, John R. Germany, William D. Roussel and Harold B. Williams. HONORED IN absentia were the other nine members of the class of 1915, Rene J. Bienvenu, Mertie M. Bloom, Joseph L. Boyd, Alvin S. Briz- E. Ewing, Conrad L. O'Neill, Joseph M. Rault and Anna B. Schneider. Outstanding students of last year were introduced by the deans of their respective schools and colleges, and received certificates of their achievement from Fr. Smith. The students honored had maintained a minimum grade point average of 3.5 during the 1964-65 academic year. They represented all five of Loyola's schools and colleges and the evening division. The convocation opened with a prayer by the university chaplain, the Rev. Joseph Molloy, S.J. This was followed by presentation of colors and the national anthem. A benediction, given by the Rev. Homer R. Jolley, S.J., moderator of the alumni association, closed the event. Students honored at the convocation were, from the college of arti and sciences, seniors: Melodye M. Bassett, Mary L. Billingsley, William M. Broderick, Gary F. Carroll, Ann M. Cassagne, Michael B. Davis, Julie A. Fitte, honors in the individual competition singing, "When I Fall in Love," at the 28th annual Blue Key Talent Nite held Tuesday in the field house. Gene Fleusche, a freshman in Music school, won second place with a mon- ologue satirizing an oldtime southern politician, entitled "Eugene Herman Talmadge."Third place went to Janet Theriot, A&S senior, who sang, "Adele's Laughing Song" from Die Fledermaus by Strauss. In the variety act competition, the brothers of Upsilon Beta Lambda social fraternity won first place with a musical skit satirizing the Great Society and draft-card burners (I'd rather light than fight") called "How to Succeed in Birdland Without Really Flying." It was the fourth consecutive win for ÜBL. Second place went to Theta Phi Alpha social sorority and their musical skit depicting the creation of man, billed as "Once Upon a Temptation." Med Techs' dance routine called "Town and Country" copped third place. Mogan David and the Grapes of Wrath, a rock-and-roll group equipped with a-go-go girls, won first place in the group competition, with their renditions of "We Gotta Get Outta Dis Place" and "Get Offa My Cloud." The Holinshed Singers, a folk-singing group, won second place with "Very Last Day" and "A'Solin'." Third place went to the Out Crowd of Loyola, a vocal jazz group, that sang, "Air from Suite No. 3 in D" by Bach and a modern jazz number called "Bluesette," composed by Matt Lanius their leader. The show, sponsored by Blue Key National Honor fraternity, presented Loyola's Homecoming Court featuring Queen Margaret Cloutier and her maids: Jane Maher, Kathie Pearse, Susan Breaud, Mary Ann Sterck, Dianne Ragan and Sally Droppelman. The queen and her court, elected by the student body, were introduced by Marcel Garsaud, moderator of Blue Key. Queen Cloutier was crowned on stage by Tek Bassham, last year's queen. Ken Sills, president of the Loyola chapter of Blue Key, served as master of ceremonies. Tom Sartory, member of Blue Key, was stage manager. Judges in the talent competition were Bob Carr, WDSUTV and radio personality, Ted Demuth of Tul a n e Music school and James Perry, amusement editor of the State-Item. A special guest appearance was made by the Cottage Singers, a Loyola folk-singing group and winners at last year's show. The capacity crowd of 3100 heard them sing "Winkin, Blinkin and Nod." Blue Key Talent Night is just one of the events during Homecoming Week, and money made from the show goes to Loyola's improvement fund. Old Grads Welcomed By RUDY ELDER Fr. Doyle Speaks Homecoming '65 was officially opened Sunday at Holy Name church with the celebration of Loyola's annual alumni Mass. The Rev. Edward A. Doyle, S.J., academic vice-president of Loyola, told alumni that the importance of Christian education cannot be overemphasized.Stressing Pope Paul Vl's recent Declaration of Christian Education, Father Doyle outlined the Catholic's duty toward his schools. "First," said Father Doyle, "we must be committed in our homes, recognizing that we teach our children what to respect and what to scorn, what to love and what to hate. "Secondly, we must become involved in activity affecting our schools," he said. "We must preserve the right of parents to choose the school of their choice. "Critics claim the day of Catholic schools and colleges is over," Father Doyle said, "but in reality faculties and students in Catholic colleges and schools are better qualified than ever before. And the best is yet to come." Doyle told alumni to be totally committed, involved, loyal and perseverent in Christian education, and in so doing to make this homecoming a homecoming of Christ. Mass celebrant was the Very Reverend Andrew C. Smith, S.J., president of Loyola. At a breakfast after the Mass, Hartley Kingsmill, chairman of 19fi5 alumni fund drive, announced that $87,521, the highest total in history, has already been contributed by 1731 donors. A total of $100,000 is expected to be reached during December. Plaques were awarded to IAC Signs Contract With AID Officials of Loyola's Inter- American center signed an agreement with the Agency for International Development of the U. S. Dept. of State Monday to continue the center's training program for another year. According to Mr. George Flanagan, executive director of the center, the newly-signed amendment to the original contract will extend the life of the Inter-American center at least until Oct. 31, 1966. The contract will bring the total investment of the federal government in both this year's and last year's programs to $587,051. It will also increase the number of Central American and Panamanian leaders trained at the center from 179 last year to a total of 360. The agreement, which became effective Nov. 1, will enable the Inter-American center, a department of the Institute of Human Relations, to conduct five more six-week training sessions in addition to the one now in progress. A Last Tribute Three weeks ago The Maroon ran a letter from an officer in Viet Nam requesting soap. Two weeks ago the soap drive started in response to the officer's plea had spread around the state and nation. This week the officer is dead. (apt. Ronald F. Rod was no stranger to Loyola, whether conducting a freshman military science class or standing at attention for the passing in review of the drill squads. Consistently, he was an example to ROTC students of what dedication to one's country is. "The military situation is one for which I am prepared, as I am a professional soldier," he wrote in a recent letter. Too often one equates the professional soldier with the unthinking, conscienceless automaton who in war is nothing more than the killer-beast and whose peacetime life is an anachronism, ('apt. Rod was living testimony that a professional soldier can conduct himself with nobility both on and off the battlefield. He was a friend. It is ironic the things that come to one's mind when confronted with the death of a former friend and superior; the sympathetic understanding of student problems, the characteristic statement: "I volunteered because there's a job over there that has to be done, and I would rather go than have any of you go." In Viet Nam, at war, these personal characteristics persisted. His fervent desire to help the poverty-stricken refugees of Due Pho was evident in his letter. "The role of civil administrator to 10,000 frightened, homeless refugees is a new challenge to me. I have given the children dry milk and soon hope to build a school. I am also distributing basic medical supplies." In the span of two months, a man'started a campaign to help the needy, turned it into a growing success, and has died. The soap drive goes on, along with his memory in the minds and hearts of the Vietnamese. ('apt. Ronald F. Rod will lie remembered by friends, whether they be in New Orleans or Due Pho, not as the highly specialized professional soldier he was, but as the sincere dedicated man he was . A friend. S.P. See CONVOCATION,, page 3 See MASS, page 3 Maroon would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas and the happiest of New Years. The spirit of the Yultide season is one of sentiment, warmth and deep Christian tradition. It is a time for praise. It is a time for forgiveness. It is a time for joy. But most of all, the Holiday Season is a time to get together with good friends, review the past and speculate on the future year. We of the Maroon would like to thank all those who make it possible for us to put out a newspaper that the students, faculty and administration can be proud to call their own. We would also like to take this time to thank those who work on our staff as reporters and contributors. The Maroon is a joint effort, an effort which we hope has succeeded in conveying the campus news and supplying reading entertainment for our audience. And so once more we of the Maroon wish you all the Merriest of Holiday seasons. —THE MAROON STAFF

The Country Inn & Suites is nestled in the heart of quiet, serene Stockton. With convenient access to Highway 20, guests are only a short car ride away from Chestnut Mountain Resort and other areas for skiing in Galena, IL. You'll also enjoy our hotel's access to the numerous wineries and family-friendly outdoor recreation in scenic Jo Daviess County, such as hunting or biking on nice days.
With Stockton's small-town feel and miles of corn fields, the hotel is a comfortable place to lodge for the night. After a cold day outside, you'll find our fireplace especially inviting at night, and the hot breakfast is a great way to start your day. On nice days you'll enjoy rocking on our front porch, but whatever the weather is like, the heated indoor pool and whirlpool are always ready for you. There's plenty of wildlife to enjoy here, but we are also one of the few hotels around Stockton that will let you bring your own pets (for a required fee and advanced notice). Situated between Chicago and Galena, IL, the hotel's the perfect spot for a vacation or a getaway weekend.

Please enter your username and password below to login to your ZuluTrade account. If you don't have one, you may create a new ZuluTrade account easily and start trading immediately.)
ZuluTrade bridged the gap between valuable information in money markets and trade execution, by converting the advice of professional and talented traders globally to an executed trade rapidly and automatically in your account (from supported brokers)
There was a time when trading was a headache. Not anymore! You don't have to study or monitor the market, because hundreds of signal providers from all over the world are doing it for you. All you have to do is pick the Signal Providers you like, and ZuluTrade will quickly convert their advice into live trades in your trading account directly with the broker. And the best of all, it's completely FREE!
Check the performance results of our Signal Providers here
All you have to do is provide ZuluTrade with the name and account number of the brokerage firm you're trading with. Sign and fax the LOD required by your broker, to authorize ZuluTrade to bridge the experts' advice with your broker account.
If it is the first time that you will trade online or you never had an on-line trading account with one of the brokers we support, then the first step is to open a new account. Click here to open one now in just 5 minutes.
Click here and follow the wizard. When your broker notifies you that the change has been made, you will receive an email from us that you are ready to start using ZuluTrade. This process will take a maximum of 2 days.
No. By signing the RB form, you enable ZuluTrade to receive commissions from the broker or dealer you have an account with, and most importantly for ZuluTrade to pay the signal providers that are generating the trades being executed in your account. So if you do not wish to sign the RB form with the existing account, the alternative is to open a new account with your broker by signing the same RB form for that new account.
Please click here to fill in the signup form. We will then automatically send you your login details to begin autotrading with our platform. Accounts are usually activated within 3-5 days.
It only takes 1 day. Most brokers – if you already had an account with them, do not require duplicate proof of records, and will provide you with a new account number. Don't forget to tell them that your Referring Broker is ZuluTrade. Click here to open a broker account already setup with ZuluTrade.
No. You can open a new account already set up with ZuluTrade now by clicking here.
Yes. You can choose between USD, JPY, EUR, GBP and AUD.
A standard lot is a buy or sell size. If you buy 1 lot of EUR/USD, trading at 100:1 leverage then you buy 100,000 EUR/USD. But since you're trading with 100:1, the leveraged value is 1,000 EUR/USD or 1 standard lot. If you trade a mini lot, then you buy 10,000 EUR/USD and the leveraged value is 100 EUR/USD or 1 mini lot.
Without proper risk management, this high degree of leverage can lead to large losses as well as gains.
Yes. Manual trades will not affect automatic trades.
We do not pick them. Any individual can become a ZuluTrade signal provider.
When logged into your account at ZuluTrade, go to your account settings page. From there select the 'max open lots' drop down menu', this allows you the set the number of total lots you wish a provider to have open at any one time, before he can open any more lots. Also, next to each provider's name you have selected, there is a drop down selection called 'lots'. This pertains to the number of lots to be traded on each individual trade. For example: if you wish each provider to trade with 2 lots per trade, but wish there to be no more than 2 trades open at a time. Then you would set max open lots to 4, and number of lots next to your providers name to 2.
To sign up to become a signal provider, on our homepage under our current list of top providers there is a selection that says 'join ZuluTrade as a signal provider', please click on this and fill in the requested information. To become an a affiliate go to our homepage and the top of the page select 'affiliates' and fill in the requested information.
Yes, we also offer various institutional account types based on trading volume. Please contact us for more details.
None of the Signal Providers that recommend trades will ever know your account's existence. ZuluTrade receives their recommendations, and checks the Signal Providers you have subscribed with in your account profile, and decides whether or not to autotrade their advice in your live account using a secure direct connection with the broker's backend. ZuluTrade's patented engine places trades automatically with no human intervention. ZuluTrade service is server based, in other words you don't even need to have your computer on.
Every signal received by ZuluTrade is executed on at least one demo broker account. The results contain final spread, swap rates and profit or loss from closed positions in the account. The spread is the standard spread advertised by the broker you're trading with. Due to a variety of factors outlined in the disclaimer found at the bottom of the page, sometimes results may vary between accounts. All signals and trades executed on a demo account are considered to be hypothetical.
This is because when you opened this account, there was a party that acted as a Referring Broker (RB). Your dealing broker cannot remove that Referring Broker from your account and replace it with ZuluTrade as the new one (legal issues). You need to open a new account and set ZuluTrade as your Referring Broker. Click here to open a new account already setup for ZuluTrade.
No, there is no danger. We will never ask you for your password. But even If your password was stolen, it is not possible for anyone (including ZuluTrade) to withdraw funds from your account. This is because your broker, who always wires funds to the beneficiary of the account ONLY, is the one who had opened the account
A pip is the minimum movement of a currency upwards or downwards. To calculate each pip for every currency, divide 1/ (currency pair exchange rate) Ex: 1/224.92 (GBP/JPY) = 0.00444 GBP. If you're trading a 100:1 leverage account, then multiply this with 100. Ex 0.00444 x 1000 = 4.44 GBP. To transform this to USD just convert it. Ex: GBP/USD = 1.9377 x 4.444 = 8.6 USD / pip.
Another example is to calculate a pip for GBP/USD. 1/1.9377 = 0.516 GBP. For a 100:1 standard account, multiply that with 10. Ex: 0.516 x 10 = 5.16. To convert in USD multiply with 1.9377. Ex: 5.16 x 1.9377 = 9.98 USD / pip.
It depends on the broker, but we recommend that the amount for a standard account is $15,000 USD and for a mini account is $500 USD.
If you are trading more than $10,000 USD we recommend to open a standard account, otherwise a mini account.
On the account settings page there is a wizard that corresponds to the lots traded by every provider and your equity. This wizard will display how many providers you should choose without having the risk of a margin call. Simply follow the wizard. Of course you can choose the signal providers manually if you wish.
Send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com and we will add them as soon as possible.
Your broker will send you an email confirming that we are the Referring Broker, and that your account is ready. Then, you log in to ZuluTrade and configure your trades.
The spread in the Forex currency trading market, refers to the difference between the 'bid' price for the currency and the 'ask' price. Each traded currency pair opens with the spread. So if the spread is 5, then your trade will open at –5 pips.
A signal provider places trades on his or her account, and all clients that have selected this provider in their account settings page receive these trades on their accounts, unless they do not have enough usable margin, or have their max open lots set to low. Signal providers provide signals for all clients who select them in their accounts settings page. Affiliates choose a designated URL (web page) to advertise ZuluTrade and draw clients to use our revolutionary service. Signal providers get 0.5 pips for each traded lot of his or her own signals ONLY. So provider signs up, sends signals, and passively waits for clients to use their signals, trying to have good performance to attract them. An affiliate gets 0.4 pips for each traded lot of the clients that signed up through his website, for ANY signal. So affiliate signs up, and starts advertising their website to attract clients to ZuluTrade.

Even at 19, Juvenal Torres was still his mother Yolanda Gallegos' baby; her pride and joy on and off the Brownsville football field.
"Even now that I saw him, I can't believe it," she said among sobs.
Gallegos still cannot believe her son is gone, especially when he had his entire life ahead of him.
The Rivera High School senior was killed Saturday in a car accident in Matamoros.
Gallegos said that night Juvenal was supposed to be sleeping over at a friend's house in Brownsville.
"I don't know what went through my son's mind, if he thought it would be no big deal," she said.
Juvenal crossed the border into Matamoros with his teenage neighbor.
Matamoros Police told Action 4 News the teen driver Juvenal was with was speeding when he lost control and crashed into a concrete post, five blocks south of the B&M International Bridge.
Gallegos had some words for the parents of the teenage driving.
"Because of your son's bad decision, I have lost half of my heart," she sobbed. Broken-hearted, Gallegos struggles to make sense of her son's death.
The family has set up a viewing for Juvenal on Tuesday from 1 to 9 p.m.
It will take place at the Sunset Funeral Home, located on Highway 100, east of FM 803 in Los Fresnos.
Relatives have set up an account to help Juvenal's family with funeral expenses.
Anyone who would like to help out can stop by Wells Fargo Bank and donate to the account under his sister Emma Yanez.
They can also call her directly at (956) 312-8986.

-- -- Thank you very much are Republicans and Democrats are getting ready for Election Day November about what all happened after the election and in particular what would end up a second term if that man featured right there is reelected -- United States.
Campbell about look like joining us now is author of fool me twice Obama's shocking plans for the next four years exposed -- Klein good to see yet thank you for having me all right first of all how did you get all this information that seems like it would be information -- The administration would want to just throw out there.
Actually a lot of the people in the mainstream media could you just what I did and that is that.
The very Sam progressive organizations and key activists.
Who crafted who perfected Obama's first term strategy I'm talking to people who helped to write the stimulus bill.
Who helped to craft -- health care legislation.
They actually have been very hard at work at Obama's second term that and I got to continue those same pieces on the agenda.
It's not I'm not saying -- 100% every single thing in the book -- meets west will be implemented exactly as it is but this will be the blueprint this is the wish list for Obama's second term.
On jobs on the economy on immigration reform on health care on a whole slew of a very specific issues.
This -- -- take some looks at some of the specific things you just mentioned you mentioned immigration reform.
You feel that if President Obama gets a second term if he doesn't is if congress doesn't play ball with them he's just gonna change the laws.
By executive Fiat.
-- both executive Fiat and also through inter agency directives which for example and again we have -- specifics in there.
We're talking de facto amnesty for millions of people howdy do by -- -- there would be an executive order for example to identify a vulnerable population.
And they actually defined vulnerable population as among several other things including.
-- that anybody who contributes and who has a salary that then goes to the family and apparently is -- -- that's pretty much every -- Illegal immigrant living in the US there as well -- also.
I'm taking -- the border agents' ability to do their job even.
-- on specific areas where illegals cannot be apprehended throughout the country and putting cemeteries all sorts of other things not -- cuts also this is kind of frightening.
Yeah actually this comes from -- so am -- reports that informed Obama's first term agenda specifically on the military.
And that already helped to slash the military and some massive -- but that was just the beginning during the first term the second term we're talking about more slashes.
Up to possibly -- -- percent of they have their way.
Of armed forces of of of ground troops.
Of the air force and what's shocking is that only do we have the actual specifics of what they might Kotnik submarines.
Legged guy you van Obama's nuclear the president that the United States nuclear arsenal.
But this savings get this would be used for a possible new greens stimulus of course it wasn't there.
Where would you expect that wanted to -- -- tail -- and finally on the campaign trail we heard it again last night with the the Romney hood thing where it talks about fairness and class warfare class envy and stuff like that what is economic fairness yes.
Economic fairness by the way which comes over it and originally from -- -- dot trend line about spreading the wealth but in fool me twice we have this specific economic fairness plans we're talking paycheck fairness.
Where among other things the government would actually determine.
What would be fair compensation for huge job we're talking private jobs not just public jobs and and and you feel and read the notes that you know -- has do with minimum wage and -- anyway it's actually living -- set to -- the the bar it's fascinating stuff I check out the book it's -- fool me twice here -- -- When we listen either on the radio here in New York City think -- much for tax --

Di Canio targets 'seven or eight' new signings
6:00am Thursday 31st May 2012 in Sport By Andy Warren
PAOLO Di Canio is looking to bring seven or eight new players to the County Ground this summer as he bids to guide Swindon Town to back-to-back promotions.
The Italian was busy in the transfer market in his first summer as a manager, but eventually was able to assemble a squad which swept all before them to claim the League Two title.
Di Canio has already missed out on one potential signing as he plots the club's path to the Championship, with former loanee Lee Holmes having joined Preston, but he is already looking to other targets for this summer before potentially dipping into the transfer market again in January.
"I had in my head a few players although we lost one already because Lee Holmes has signed for Preston," he said.
"I would have liked have him, but in England there are many many good players.
"It is difficult to say the numbers, but approximately I would say I would like seven or eight players because I think it is the number that can guarantee to me a good start of the season and see where we are in December.
"Then, like we did last year, if we are very close to the play-offs the board can help me with the final push and win the league in the way we won last year.
"Now is the moment to work, we have 25 days approximately to bring if not all of the players, 60-70 per cent of the players I want in."
Di Canio has been busy studying League One football while he has been away in Italy, and sees no reason why the club can not be pushing for a second straight promotion next May.
"It is obvious we will try and do everything to gain the next promotion, but we know that will be more difficult because there will be many clubs that already have a strong squad with experience and quality," he said.
"But now we have a bit more time than last year to build a strong team and month by month see where we can stay.
"We will try to go up and stay close to the top team and see if we can build the belief during the season which I believe we can.
"We have to be honest, we won League Two very well with a good squad but the next level is a different level.
"We start a little bit, not too much, behind the clubs which were close to winning the league like Sheffield United or the clubs that went down like Coventry and Portsmouth.
"I watched many games, including Charlton and Huddersfield who got promoted, and I have to tell you if we can bring in some of the players I would like to have then we can have satisfaction."
