Geoghegan: Rave On with Sweatshop's Determined, Talented Writer By Brian Kirst
From penning graphic novels to introducing Raine Brown to the sharp hospitalities of crazed German outbackers in Barricade, Ted Geoghegan has been giving horror fans a thrill ride for years. Known as a respected producer (Fearmakers) and occasional actor (100 Tears), Geoghegan is now prepping for his industrial tinged, deadly rave masterpiece Sweatshop. Taking a moment away from Sweatshop's scantily clad dancers and film inspired animal pelts; Geoghegan recently answered some incisive, entertaining questions for us.
Brian: Who were your first artistic inspirations – The boundary sucking creatures of Lovecraft – The revolving schemes of Pluto (the planet or the dog) – A decrepit journalist uncle with a fondness for Shakespeare and Henry James?
Ted: Pluto? Decrepit journalist uncles? Dude, those are some of the most wonderfully descriptive and completely inaccurate assumptions anyone has ever made about my inspirations! What on Earth are you talkin' about?! – I've always been inspired by the movies I grew up with – plain and simple. I've been a writer for as long as I can remember, but I've never been anything more than a scholarly reader. I have my degree in English, but I can't think of any literature that has truly inspired me to pick up a pen and write a film. – My work is more about kicking back and having fun for 90 minutes. Friday the 13th and Night of the Demons are far more important inspirations to me than The Turn of the Screw.
Brian: What began your initial intrigue with the graphic novel format?
Ted: I was hired to write one in 1997. I've only read a handful of comics, but it seemed fun – and certainly opened a lot of doors for me. I never touched the medium again until late last year, when I penned the seven-page comic tie-in to my latest feature, Sweatshop.
Brian: Carroll O'Conner is an interesting starting point for a career writing science fiction and horror. What were the basic elements that you learned from him that you can apply to all fiction writing?
Ted: Carroll was a brilliant man. I had already been writing for several years before I met him, but he was always open to discuss writing techniques and styles. He wrote very differently than I did, but appreciated anyone who tried their hand at the medium. – I don't think there were any basic elements that I can apply to ALL fiction, but he certainly had a way with words – and would do anything to see burgeoning screenwriters reach their full potential.
Brian: You often multi-task on your projects. Do you find that while not easier that is preferable to you? Or do you enjoy focusing on one thing but circumstances just get in the way?
Ted: I initially started as a screenwriter, but after seeing my scripts turned into films that bore little to no resemblance to my original work, I decided I wanted to have a little more say in the creative process. – I tried my hand at directing a short film, which was fun, but I'm a little too easygoing to be a director. Producing is nice because it gives me a say, but lets someone else be the tough guy.
Brian: What was the initial inspiration for your German "Hick Horror" massacre-piece Barricade?
Ted: I was originally given a ten-page treatment for Barricade by writer/director Timo Rose. It was essentially a German version of Wrong Turn, right down to the gruesome use of razor wire and crossbows. I removed a bit of that, beefed up the characters, and made it feel a bit more original. – Timo changed a lot of the script while filming, but the final result – a mixture of slasher film and torture porn – worked pretty well for us when the film debuted.
Brian: In scanning your resume many of your projects have a more mythical and foreign appeal than standard terror films. Is that something you cultivate or is it circumstance taking control once again?
Ted: I don't know about the "mythical" part, but I have worked on a number of German movies, which might explain the "foreign" aspect. The first film I was hired to write was for German splatter director Andreas Schnaas. I have since written two more features for him, and it was through Schnaas that I met Timo, whom I have also worked with on a number of horror films. – I love working with people outside the US – it helps indie filmmakers realize that there are a lot of us, all over the world, working toward the same goal.
Brian: What was the most memorable part of appearing as Sullivan in the graphic clown as serial killer piece 100 Tears?
Ted: Well, I'd probably have to say the most memorable part was my death… since that's all the role really is. I show up 45 minutes into the film, and thirty seconds later, I've been bisected and decapitated. Director (and FX guru) Marcus Koch really knew what he was doing on that film, though. The results were absolutely stunning.
Brian: Monsters n' girls! Girls n' monsters! What sparked your interest to create the (hopefully) wildly entertaining Sweatshop?
Ted: Boy, I hope its entertaining, too! Sweatshop was born out of my love of scantily-clad raver kids and my desire to make a slasher film featuring them. The concept behind setting it in an old factory and having the killer wear a welding mask and animal pelts was kind of born from these kids' industrial music. Industrial music needed an industrial setting with an industrial bad guy. – I really adore the movie, and consider the finest film I've ever had my name on. I'm immensely proud of it.
Brian: Cool. Did you always imagine a return to the graphic format with Sweatshop's beginnings' comic book saga? Or was this something that just landed on your lap like an ink strewn puppy?
Ted: What? Why would someone cover a puppy in ink? Man, your descriptors are all over the place! – Anyway… we never originally planned on the comic prequel to Sweatshop, but it grew out of the project as we continued through post-production. -When we realized we had the opportunity to kill one of the film's characters in it, and that we could tie it rather seamlessly into the final film, we decided it had to be done. Artist Thomas Mason did an amazing job with it and, as director Stacy Davidson says, it's almost like a missing scene from the movie. It fits in that perfectly.
Brian: Lastly, any words of advice (IE: Don't try to rekindle an old love in the forest when savages are on the loose) or future projects that you'd like to tell us about. And thanks- this has been definitely better than trying to find your sister's killer any day of the week!
Ted: Advice? Don't make a movie just because you have a camera. Make it if you have a story to tell… even if that story is simple. – And as for the future, right now, all of my attention is on making Sweatshop the best film it can possibly be, and making certain that it gets the best release we can. Once its out and we can finally wash our hands of its ample blood, I'll start something new. Until then, I can't think of anything else I'd rather spend all of my time promoting.

So, I have a webapp with a fair amount of JSPs, servlets, alot of which are using IceFaces. Obviously, most of this will have to stay in Tomcat.
However, I've been told that static content (HTML, Images, etc.) is slower on Tomcat than a pure webserver like Apache. My understanding is that when you're using Tomcat as a stand-alone webserver, it's using a version of Apache in the first place. I may be mistaken on this, of course.
But what is the penalty for serving static images or files from Tomcat? Is it worth breaking out into its own webserver for a low volume site?

Driving force
National | ECONOMIC TERROR: Osama bin Laden knows the keys to most Americans' well-being rest somewhere near the ignition
Some of the hottest terror threat assessments this summer are coming not from the Homeland Security Department but from international investment bankers. After gruesome al-Qaeda-linked attacks in Saudi Arabia last month that left 25 foreigners (including eight Americans) and five Saudis dead, oil-industry analysts are looking hard at what an attack on Saudi Arabia's oil infrastructure could mean for average Americans.
With the destruction of the World Trade Center towers on 9/11, Wall Street shut down for five days, the airline industry and tourism entered a tailspin, and recession soon followed. With Saudi security under attack, world oil prices hang in the balance. How high could the price of a gallon of gas go? A successful assault on the Saudis' highly centralized oil facilities, analysts warn, may double already soaring U.S. gasoline prices-to $4 a gallon.
One-tenth of the world's oil flows daily through Ras Tanura, an offshore terminal in the Persian Gulf that is the largest in the world. Only three primary export terminals operate in Saudi Arabia, but they handle up to one-third of the world's total oil supply. Production originates in two large oilfields, and nearly all Saudi crude processing takes place in just one facility, 25 miles inland from the Gulf of Bahrain at Abqaiq.
"A terrorist attack on each one of these hubs of the Saudi oil complex or a simultaneous attack on a few of them is not a fictional scenario," reads a report from the International Institute for Global Security (IIGS). "A single terrorist cell hijacking an airplane in Kuwait or Dubai and crashing it into Abqaiq or Ras Tanura could turn the complex into an inferno," it continues, leaving the kind of damage that would take up to 50 percent of Saudi oil off the market for six months and eliminate most of the world's oil reserve-"sending oil prices through the ceiling," concludes the IIGS.
Terror experts concur with the security analysis. "Such an attack," said former CIA Middle East field officer and author Robert Baer, "would be more economically damaging than a dirty nuclear bomb set off in midtown Manhattan." Mr. Baer believes oil-related terrorism would "bring the world's oil-addicted economies to their knees, America's along with them."
That, in part, has been the goal of Osama bin Laden all along. Al-Qaeda documents recovered from Afghanistan, together with recent intelligence culled from detainees at Guantanamo Bay, suggest that the mastermind seeks to end not only American lives but American prosperity, too. A battle plan issued by al-Qaeda leader Abdulaziz Mugrin just ahead of May 29 attacks on Khobar compounds housing oil workers proves the terror network has some means to achieve its goals.
"If you can imagine the terrorists' targets in concentric circles, then the target overall is America but the bullseye is the U.S. economy," said Craig Smith, chief executive of Swiss America Trading Corporation. "Al-Qaeda knows it cannot take us on militarily; they want to defeat us economically." Mr. Smith believes their goal extends as far back as the first attack on the World Trade Center in 1993, and forward to attacks planned on the Arab Peninsula.
"Until now al-Qaeda has focused on soft targets in Saudi Arabia," said Mr. Smith, but "the hard targets are next in Gulf port cities" with a multifaceted goal: Force Westerners out and drain the lifeblood from what the Islamic extremists say is Western decadence.
From this perspective, Osama bin Laden is a freedom fighter out to overturn world dependence on both Saudi oil and the U.S. dollar. Bin Laden pronouncements often reference the U.S. budget deficit and other indicators as a sign of vulnerability. "We forget that Osama bin Laden is no peasant; he is an extremely educated man," Mr. Smith said.
Mr. Smith insists he is no conspiracy-monger advising Americans "to buy dehydrated banana chips and Krugerands and wait in the hills." But, he says, "we should be looking more seriously at the potential threat to our oil supply."
U.S. officials may be saying little about economic terror threats, but Saudi leaders- who once thought impenetrable the Western compounds attacked last month in Riyadh and Khobar-are acutely aware of their vulnerability. They realize that terrorists who have kept Iraq's Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline out of commission-at an estimated cost of $2.5 billion-threaten the Iraq-Saudi border.
Saudi Arabia will move to fortify its borders starting this fall with plans to install a high-tech electronic defense shield along its border with Yemen. Cost: $10 billion.
But, warns a working draft report issued May 30 by the Center for Strategic & International Studies, it is "virtually impossible" for Saudi Arabia to fully secure its Gulf or Red Sea coasts against smuggling and infiltration by small craft. "Traffic in the Gulf and Red Sea is simply too high, the coasts are too long, and sensors cannot track movements by dhows and small craft," the report says. Military protection of petroleum export facilities, it said, is adequate "with roughly two weeks of warning" but normally is limited.
Financial analysts are looking beyond port security, however, to macro-scenarios that could pose more than one-time threats to the oil supply. Saudi's royal family is aging, beset by divisions, and resented for imposing Koranic law on the masses while its own billionaire princes live lush and high. Instability in Saudi Arabia and Iraq would favor Iran, whose militant mullahs are suspected of backing terror attacks. If they won control on the peninsula, says analyst John Myers, "then they will own the rights to half the world's oil reserves and about 90 percent of the world's cheap oil."
Writing for the online financial sheet The Daily Reckoning, Mr. Myers said, "The numbers favor the radical elements. Just consider the big picture: Iran and Iraq have a total population of over 90 million. Kuwait and Saudi Arabia have fewer than 30 million people. If push comes to shove, the Sunni royals running Saudi Arabia will be the underdog when matched against the Shiites of Iran and Iraq."
If one day American motorists wake to that kind of realignment, they will look back at $2 a gallon gasoline-and marvel at the bargain.

Analysis by Jeff Commings
AUSTIN, Texas, March 29. TODAY'S preliminary session at the NCAA Men's Division I Swimming and Diving Championships is the hardest session of the meet. It's also the most important for those fighting for the right to hold the championship team trophy later tonight. Getting swimmers into prime scoring positions is key every day, but in a team race as close as the one we have now, it's crucial.
Texas led after last night's competition by six points over California, and after today's swimming, the race is likely to be decided in the final event, the 400 free relay.
On the surface, Cal has the advantage going into finals with six swimmers in the championship final. Texas only has three. But the Longhorns have four divers who have the potential to earn team points in platform diving today. That will likely even things out.
Florida, sitting in third about 33 points behind Cal, could make a push tonight as well and make it a three-team race going into the relay. Florida has no divers, and they only have three swims in the championship final. To Florida's credit, the Gators could score big in the 1650 freestyle with Mitch D'Arrigo and Arthur Frayler for a boost to start the finals session.
As for Michigan, they are out of the battle for first. Only three Wolverines in the championship final tonight and no consolation finalists. Three swimmers in the 1650 freestyle timed final could help, but not making the championship final of the 400 free relay will make it very tough.
The key event for California today was the 200 breast. Dave Durden will be eternally grateful that Chuck Katis transferred from Harvard. Katis scored big in the 100 breast last night and will be vital for the Golden Bears in the longer race. This brings back memories of 2011, when Damir Dugonjic got into the A final of the 200 breast and the Cal team went ballistic. They knew the team title was theirs at that point.
Unfortunately for Cal or Texas, nothing is secured yet. This will be one of the closest team battles we've seen on the men's side in 12 years. Texas beat Stanford by 10 points in 2002, and it could be that close or closer. Eddie Reese is on the cusp of sharing the honor of being the winningest college coach in NCAA men's swimming. An 11th title tonight would tie him with Ohio State's Mike Peppe. It would be the third NCAA title for Dave Durden at Cal to go along with the many he enjoyed as assistant coach in his years at Auburn.
Cumulative up/down placings of top four teams (not counting diving, 1650 free or 400 freestyle relay):
California: six up/two down
Texas: three up/three down
Florida: three up/three down
Michigan: three up/zero down

Tenaska Trailblazer Energy Center Gets EDF Go-Ahead
The Tenaska Trailblazer Energy Center, a 600 MW coal-fueled energy plant under development between Abilene and Sweetwater, Texas, U.S.A., has agreed that the plant will contain equipment designed to capture at least 85% of the carbon dioxide produced by the plant. In return, the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), will withdraw from a contested case that protests Tenaska's draft air quality permits. In addition, the EDF will not seek to delay the granting of any future air quality permits required for the Energy Center and will not assist others that wish to do so.
Tenaska will also contract for delivery and sequestration of the captured carbon dioxide to third parties authorized by Texas and federal law to inject the gas into approved geologic formations. The Trailblazer plan would be among the first conventional, commercial coal-fueled power plants to capture 85 to 90% of the CO2 that would otherwise be emitted, said the company.
"The era of building traditional coal plants without carbon capture and storage is over," said Jim Marston, EDF national energy program director. "This groundbreaking agreement addresses carbon as well as water, a scarce resource in that region. Tenaska is to be commended for ending business-as-usual coal-fired power production."
"Our Trailblazer power plant represents commercial demonstration of carbon capture and storage technologies, with potential applications throughout the world," said Dr. Greg Kunkel, Tenaska vice president of Environmental Affairs. "We are very pleased to be able to cooperate with one of the nation's most respected environmental organizations in this groundbreaking endeavor. Because it is widely respected, EDF's support will be valuable in bringing this project to fruition and helping demonstrate the environmental advantages of the advanced Trailblazer technology."

Social media should always be seen as a complementary part of the marketing mix. Each team needs to consider its unique internal culture, vision and digital capability before developing a realistic strategy. The first step is to consider why you feel you need to use a particular platform and what it can help you to achieve.
When you've developed a strategy, don't make the mistake of thinking social media i 'quick and easy.' Engaging an audience and building a community take time and thought in any media. Resourcing also needs to be factored in and, if it's at all possible, ensure that the platform has a human face and a genuine identity — the more senior the person the better online credibility. Any marketer, even in a heavily regulated industry, should be prepared to genuinely engage with the audience to make the use of social media worthwhile.
Foster a positive corporate culture
For pharmaceutical marketers social media is less about tools than changing the culture of the industry and its approach to engaging with its customers. The need to prove ROI needs to be replaced with desire for connection.
Fostering a culture of acceptance internally will make use of social media natural and allow marketers to play with the tools before using them as part of campaigns. For this reason many companies have now switched policy and started to allow staff to use Facebook, Twitter, etc, in work time.
Before embarking on the first few campaigns, create a multi-focus steering group incorporating people from legal, regulatory affairs, medical, marketing, communications, etc, to agree and develop best practice models, parameters and guidelines for the use and integration of social media.
Create a clear corporate policy
To date, social media is bound by the general rules of digital communication as outlined in EFPIA and the country codes. But in the absence of concrete guidance, it's essential that a corporate policy on usage is developed. A clear policy will help ensure everyone understands the boundaries and underline that your organization takes social media ethics seriously.
Many social media campaigns will be more successful through partnerships, so make sure all third parties are familiar with industry regulations and what is permissible. If necessary, draft a standard operating procedure (SOP) that is specific to the project.
Establish realistic processes for adverse event (AE) reporting too, because it's impossible for a medic to listen round the clock. Any agencies monitoring blogs and forums must be fully trained on recognizing the criteria that make a true adverse event and pass it through a specific AE response system.
Know your options
Innovation may seem attractive, but social media marketing campaigns must still be viable and relevant or no-one will engage. Surveys generally reveal that the top reason for both doctors and patients to use social media is to seek other people's experiences, so it's important to consider channels that will facilitate this. Take some time to work with all the options, or get some thorough expert briefings.
The best way to understand how a social media channel, or community, functions is to use it very frequently. Regular participation will give you an instinctive understanding of the type of content that will resonate most with that community. Read plenty of material on your chosen platform and make sure you access as many case studies as possible.
Never underestimate the importance of the corporate website, which remains the base information source for other platforms.
Understand your audience
Gain a good understanding of which channels are likely to be the most effective platform to carry your message to your target audience. For example, MySpace used to be widely popular as an entertainment channel, but it is now primarily a place for teenagers. However, if you're looking to raise awareness of an OTC acne medication or promote chlamydia testing, MySpace may be the perfect choice.
Sometimes a target audience will run across many demographic segments, although disease- and medicine-specific audiences are usually fairly easily segmented. Once you create a general map of your target audience you can more easily select the social media to target. Once you're using them, many platforms will allow you to hold good, targeted focus groups such as a virtual advisory board on Sermo, or a special interest group question on Twitter or poll on Facebook.
The importance of understanding user demographics by geographical location should not be overlooked. For example, one European study revealed significant variation in the importance placed on the internet as a source of health information. In Denmark, the internet is already considered the second most important source, preceded only by health professionals. At the other end of the scale, in Greece, the internet is considered the least important source of information about health and health-related problems.
A recent survey has revealed that healthcare providers in the UK engage far more but then many of the discussions are in English and language to date has prevented engagement. France and Germany have more healthcare professionals who never engage in social media than the other three big EU markets. Establishing clear global SOPS can help to solve global vs local issues by allowing local markets to develop their own campaigns.
Active listening
Understand what is being said about a product or disease before embarking on any social media marketing. There are countless blogs, websites and microblogs talking separately and together on the web and listening to these 'conversation clouds' will help you to benchmark understanding about a disease and find a message and communications platform that will resonate with your target audience.
Often called 'digital landscaping' or 'conversation tracking,' there are lots of ways in which to listen. There are many free providers of listening tools on the web, some of which are specific to certain applications (like Tweetscan and Blogged.com) Several providers will run paid for services that use sophisticated bespoke tools to run search strings across multiple channels simultaneously. These are then sometimes trawled through manually in order to build a picture of perceptions and conversations. It is also possible to map this geographically.
You can send out questions to specific groups on Facebook or Twitter once you're using them. You can listen on many of the platforms directly too. Google Alerts, Tweetdeck, SocialMentions, etc, all offer ways to listen. Of course the real beauty of listening is that, unlike traditional market research, it is virtually instantaneous.
Benchmark results
It is difficult to budget for something that you believe won't demonstrate ROI, but part of the cultural change to acceptance of social media is to understand that it's engagement that's being assessed.
Goals should focus on increased disease or corporate awareness, positive reputation management, increased site visitors or improved search engine rankings. Use of several different social media can bring together smaller campaigns that target distinct communities, and which contribute to the overall goals.
Social media campaigns are usually measured with specific soft metrics such as traffic, links or comments. If your strategy is detailed you will also be able to add target audience, engagement, influence and action.
Many providers can detail specifics such as unique visitors, page views, return visits and interaction rates. Specific 'listening tools' that measure and benchmark conversations from blogs and other platforms (such as Technorati) will also measure specifics such as 'conversation size', number of conversation relevant sites and conversation reach (the number of unique visitors across sites in the conversation).
Getting hands on and involved is key to starting out successfully in social media, so make your knowledge practical and understand platforms by usage. There are now lots of examples of good social media use from various health organizations so also take look at what other healthcare organizations are doing. Have a clear understanding of regulations and what is possible and always bear in mind that healthcare providers and consumers must control the dialogue otherwise social media doesn't work. Any input from the industry must be with the aim of supporting that dialogue, monitoring the conversation and responding where absolutely appropriate. With this in mind, the potential for a truly collaborative online health community is unlimited.

POLICE STATE 4 chronicles the sickening depths to which our republic has fallen. Veteran documentary filmmaker Alex Jones conclusively proves the existence of a secret network of FEMA camps, now being expanded nationwide. The military industrial complex is transforming our once free nation into a giant prison camp. A cashless society control grid, constructed in the name of fighting terrorism, was actually built to enslave the American people. Body scanners, sound cannons, citizen spies, staged terror and cameras on every street corner -- it's only the beginning of the New World Order's hellish plan. This film exposes how the "Continuity of Government" program has established an all powerful shadow state. Prepare to enter the secretive world of emergency dictatorship, FEMA camps, and a shredded Constitution.
Tyranny is HERE! The grim future foretold in 1984 has become reality. The United States is now recognized globally as one of the most oppressive police states on earth. And it's only getting worse.

The Plainsmen finished fifth out of eight teams, which included Bridgeport, Kimball, Gordon-Rushville, Creek Valley, Bayard, Mitchell and Scottsbluff JV. Perkins County's score was 533. Bridgeport took top honors with 426 team points. Kimball was second with 488 and Gordon/Rushville third with 507 points. "I was encouraged that most of the girls improved on the back nine scores," said Coach Troy Kemling. "The course plays so much differently than Grant's. Most of the rough is irrigated and kept long so the ball doesn't roll much." Individually, Carra Johnson came the closest to medaling, finishing in 11th place, losing in a scorecard playoff to 10th place Audra Sasse of Gordon-Rushville. Each scored 116 points. "Carra played solid today for her first outing of the season," said Kemling. "She struck the ball well most of the day but still lost strokes around the greens." Kemling also commended freshman Amanda Reichert, who performed well in her first varsity competition, scoring 131. "She will file this experience away and draw upon it for future events," said Kemling. "Her nerves will be calmer the next time around and she will know more what to expect."Individual ScoresC.

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
Unemployment is slowing improving, but that doesn't mean that workers' fear of getting laid off is also on the decline. The best way to achieve job security these days is to make yourself essential personnel in the eyes of your boss.
(Photo Credit: thetaxhaven/Flickr)
"Being indispensable at work means that your supervisors count on you so much that without you, the productivity of your department might suffer, or at least that's the perception," says Andy Teach, author of From Graduation to Corporation, in an interview with Jacquelyn Smith at Forbes. "In the minds of your supervisors and perhaps your co-workers, you are essential to the overall success of the department or even the company. Their feeling is that you are a necessary and valued part of the machine. They depend on you."
So how do you encourage this perception? By doing the following:
1. Be the only person who does X.
Every company has its own systems and procedures, some of which don't exist outside the corporation. If you can become the owner of a project or process, and learn it better than anyone else, you'll make it easier to keep you than to put you on the layoff list.
2. Stay up to date.
Most of us have areas of our skill set that are, shall we say, soft. Instead of expending your energy trying to hide the fact that you don't understand a software package or programming language, set aside time to learn it.
3. Be easy to get along with.
Every team has that one member who is the calm center of the storm -- and if they don't, they should. Be the person who can be counted on to keep his or her cool when everyone else is freaking out.
4. Be social.
"The idea that you can be an individual contributor and be successful is an idea of the past," says Brian Kropp, a managing director at executive advisory firm CEB, in an interview with Forbes. "Fitting within the network of the workplace is a part of the new definition of a great employee."
5. Get along with other generations.
Everyone has a unique perspective to bring to the table, and part of that perspective is generational. Don't roll your eyes when older or younger coworkers do things differently than you would. Listen to their point of view, and remember that most of us work for businesses that have clients of one sort or another: odds are, your coworker has insight into a segment of your customer base that you lack.
In any case, being able to get along with everyone will put you in a good spot, should the company start issuing pink slips.

Nimble Thimble Crowned NZ's Best Monopoly Player
Media Release
Nimble Thimble Crowned New Zealand's Best Monopoly Player
Aucklander Geoff Christopher set to represent NZ at the Monopoly World Champs in Las Vegas
20 April 2009 – The best Monopoly player in the country has been revealed after the National Monopoly Final at MOTAT in Auckland last Saturday 18 April. 25 year old Aucklander, Geoff Christopher, aka the Nimble Thimble, was crowned king of the board game when he battled three of the country's finest players for the title of New Zealand Monopoly champion and the honour of representing New Zealand in the 13th World Monopoly Championships in Las Vegas in October.
Wellington Regional Winner Martin Weaver, aka Mustang Marty, came in a close second after a stunning third round performance while Wild Card entry, Steve Jelley, aka Old Kent, came in third. Riverton contestant and South Island regional winner, Marina Seagar, also known as the Purple Property Princess, took out fourth place.
A pool of sixty contestants battled it out in three regional finals earlier this year in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch to make it to the championship round.
"The final was very competitive," says Stephen Imm, brand manager for Monopoly. "the Nimble Thimble ruthlessly bankrupted all three players in the first round but then wound up suffering the same fate in the third round so it all came down to points in the end."
"The contestants showed that it is not just a game of pure luck or chance with the winning players proving that they are great negotiators", he adds.
The competitors played three one hour rounds each with the competition being based on a points system to judge the winner.
The introduction of a new speed dice to Monopoly has highlighted the strategy skills necessary to be the winner. The six sided dice includes numbers 1,2,3, a bus icon and two Mr Monopoly sides and is designed to advance the game quickly reducing the amount of time it takes to purchase all the properties on the board. Game times are frequently cut down to an hour when the dice is in play.
Steve Jelley won the wild card entry when he bought a Monopoly game from Whitcoulls. His name was drawn to compete in the finals. Steve placed fifth in the South Island regional final that took place in Christchurch in February this year.
Geoff Christopher has won an all expenses paid trip to Las Vegas for him and a friend, a seat in the tournament and the chance to compete for fantastic prizes including the overall World Champion title, a full Monopoly bank worth over $20,000 U.S dollars and a magnificent trophy.
Like the Olympics, the Monopoly World Championships take place every four years. Tokyo was the last host city where representatives from 36 countries rolled and negotiated their way round the board.

Raman Spectroscopy, Raman Analysis
Raman Spectroscopy (Raman Analysis) enables you to determine the chemical structure of a sample and identify the compounds present by measuring molecular vibrations, similar to Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). However, the method used with Raman yields better spatial resolution and enables the analysis of smaller samples.
Raman is a good technique for the qualitative analysis of organic and/or inorganic mixed materials and can also be employed for semi-quantitative and quantitative analysis. It is often used to:
- Identify organic molecules, polymers, biomolecules, and inorganic compounds both in the bulk and in individual particles
- Raman imaging and depth profiling is used to map the distribution of components in mixtures, such as drugs in excipients, tablets, and drug-eluting stent coatings
- Determine the presence of different carbon types (diamond, graphitic, amorphous carbon, diamond-like carbon, nanotubes, etc.) and their relative proportions, something for which it is particularly well suited
- Determine inorganic oxides and their valence state
- Measure the stress and crystalline structure in semiconductor and other materials
Evans Analytical Group® (EAG) offers our customers Raman services to analyze small contamination areas, identify materials in small areas, and measure stress. The resulting data helps our clients resolve problems quickly, reduce cycle times, and improve production processes. We believe that no competing lab can match the skill set and experience of our staff. Plus, you can count on fast turnaround times, accurate data, and person-to-person service, ensuring you understand the information that you receive.
- Identifying the molecular structure of organic and inorganic compounds for contamination analysis, material classification, and stress measurements
- Characterization of carbon layers (graphitic v. diamond)
- Non-covalent bonding (complexes, metal bonding)
- Orientation (random v. organized structure)
Signal Detected: Raman scattering
Elements Detected: Chemical and molecular bonding information
Detection Limits: >=1 wt%

Looking for an easy and delicious treat to make for your family for Easter?
Of course you are.
Sick of all of my cake batter recipes?
Of course you aren't.
Well good, because I have a treat that everyone will love, but it takes just about 5 minutes to make and requires NO (real) cooking.
(inspired by Quick-n-easy Vanilla Fudge)
- 2 cups yellow cake mix (I used Betty Crocker) *
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 stick butter
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
directions: Place cake mix and powdered sugar in a large bowl and combine. Pour in the milk, top with stick of butter, and microwave for 2 minutes. Immediately begin mixing everything together – the butter may not be fully melted but will as you continue mixing. Lastly, mix in the rainbow sprinkles, then pour fudge into a greased round cake pan. Chill for at least 2 hours before cutting. Store in the refrigerator.
* I've had some people say that their fudge didn't harden well. The only thing I can think that might make a difference is the brand of cake mix you use. A few commenters have also noted that Funfetti mix DOES NOT harden!
This fudge is essentially like eating straight-up cake batter…but even better. Considering there's no cooking/baking required either, I'd say it gives Cake Batter Blondies a serious run for their money.
And in case you didn't grasp my obsession yet…
Here are more of my cake batter recipes:
- Chocolate Cake Batter Brownies
- Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cake Batter Blondies
- Nutella Cake Batter Blondies
- Coconut Cream Cake Batter Blondies
- Snickerdoodle Cake Batter Blondies
- 2-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookie {Dough}
- Pumpkin Cake Batter Cupcakes

We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot-stove lid. She will never sit down on a hot–stove lid again – but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.
–Mark Twain
A big part of the problem with having non-medical people such as legislators and regulators govern the process of medical care and medical education is that they're just not very good at it. Of course this should hardly be surprising. Why should they be? At its very core, medicine is a scientific endeavor that happens to be tinged with decisions about the best use of scarce resources. The vast majority of Americans, Britons, Canadians, or indeed the citizens of any country don't know enough about medical science or medical education to fill a thimble. Their elected representatives and regulators are in exactly the same boat. Yet they don't seem to have any qualms about making snap decisions that will adversely affect whole generations of their fellow citizens.
Consider the flurry of laws that have been passed to limit the number of hours that medical students and residents may work in the course of their training. What could be more logical? Tired people make mistakes and mistakes are bad, therefore make sure that resident physicians are never tired. And if everything else were equal, that might be true. But in the real world things are rarely that simple. The problem is that inexperienced and unknowledgeable people make mistakes too; other things equal, would you rather have your doctor be tired, or inexperienced and unknowledgeable?
It may be hard for the average person to believe, but the notion of staying up for long hours to take care of patients didn't just pop up out of nowhere. Part of the whole idea of intensive medical training with all-night call is to cram as much experience, knowledge and continuity of care as one can possibly fit into a fixed number of years. Time is a scarce and desirable (and therefore expensive) commodity. If we were to allocate more years to residency training in order to make up for all of those new hours off, it will inevitably add to the cost of healthcare. (And heaven knows that nobody wants that!) Of course the mistakes made by inexperienced physicians will add to healthcare costs as well, but that particular thought may not occur to a legislator or regulator who has never been through the process.
The process of training doctors takes so long that unintended side effects of poor policy decisions take years to appear. But appear they do. It's only now, after a few years of having these laws around that we're seeing the result. It's not a pretty picture.
Just last week, a leading British surgeon who is routinely expected to work for hours on end during complex surgeries, publicly expressed his exasperation at European rules that prevent physicians in training from working more than 48 hours per week:
Edward Kiely, a consultant at Great Ormond Street Hospital, said the rule was based on a European directive "designed for Spanish lorry drivers" but was damaging to doctors' training and disrupted "continuity of care" for patients.
He said: "It's not correct that you can't function properly when you're tired. Mothers look after children. They're often tired, but that's the job and you get on with it."
Kiely, who oversaw the 14-hour procedure in 2010 to separate conjoined twins Hassan and Hussein Benhaffaf, has 45 years' experience as a surgeon, with 15,000 operations under his belt…
He said that under the old system, one surgeon would see a patient through from diagnosis to post-operative care, but now "many different doctors" would be involved.
"The continuity of care is disrupted and that is bad medicine," said Kiely
And, of course, the limitation in hours is even worse when trainees are required to spend that time concentrating on "communication" and "teamworking" (not to mention "listening", "sensitivity", "ethics" and the endless typing required by electronic medical record systems) rather than the real science and practice of medical care. A study published last year in Postgraduate Medical Journal found that:
Junior doctors reported that they did not feel equipped to care for seriously ill patients in hospital and this may have got worse, it was found.
Changes to the medical school curricula that put a greater emphasis on communication and teamwork may have been to the detriment of the basics such as treatment, prescribing and managing emergencies, the study suggested.
An analysis of research papers looking at the perceptions of newly qualified doctors published between 1993 and 2011 found in most areas junior doctors felt better prepared for the job.
However in prescribing and acute care, the picture appears to have deteriorated, the researchers said…
Co-author Dr Sam Smith, said: "Junior doctors feel prepared in communication but don't feel prepared in acute care. There has been a lot of emphasis in training on communication lately.
"One of the reasons that junior doctors might feel more prepared in some of the other domains is the emphasis on communication and teamworking . It is very difficult to keep the same level of emphasis on other things when new things are added in."
Oops. One would have thought that taking care of acute illnesses would have been at the top of the medical education "to-do" list.
So how did this particular regulatory decision come to pass? In the United States, these rules were implemented in the immediate aftermath of sad and unfortunate Libby Zion case. And in one of the best, most educational and most enlightening explanations of the way in which many of these decisions are made in healthcare in the 21st century, we would like to bring your attention to the following except of a Medical Grand Round recently given in Portland, Oregon by Dr. Lisa Rosenbaum.
Dr. Rosenbaum is a gifted writer and speaker, who recently finished her own training in internal medicine and cardiology. She comes from a very medical family, and happens to be the granddaughter of Dr. Edward E. Rosenbaum. The elder Dr. Rosenbaum is the author of the book A Taste of My Own Medicine, which was later turned into the movie The Doctor. A description of her relationship her physician grandfather is woven throughout her hour-long presentation.
Regardless of whether you are a patient, an administrator or a medical professional, this video is well worth the nine minutes it takes to watch. It talks about how easy it is for us to learn the wrong lesson from associated events, and how important it can be have more than just a superficial knowledge of what it's like – and how difficult it can be – to take care of patients in the real world.

text: 000 FXUS63 KFGF 251447 AFDFGF Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Grand Forks ND 947 AM CDT WED MAY 25 2016 .UPDATE... Issued at 947 AM CDT Wed May 25 2016 Seeing quite a bit of shower and tstm activity across the FA this morning, but the most extends along a line from KJMS to KAXN. Seeing some cyclonic curl in this line, so its forward speed is not all that quick. Ahead of this line some other clusters of pcpn have developed too. One cluster is northwest of KBJI and another is around KDVL. Models show the main line from KJMS to KAXN lifting northward through the FA today, giving a wide 0.25 to 0.50 inch rainfall to most areas. After this line moves through, will have to see how much clearing occurs. Will need to have some clearing and heating to get additional tstm development this afternoon. Best bet for any clearing at this point looks to be across the southern FA. SPC has removed the slight risk area but a marginal risk still exists across the southern third of the FA. This matches well with the area that stands the best chance of seeing sun later, but lots of ifs yet. Will continue to monitor through the day. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Friday night) Issued at 344 AM CDT Wed May 25 2016 Water vapor loop indicated a trough from eastern WY into eastern CO and was moving to the northeast about 40 knots. Some drying/darkening was noted over eastern WY/eastern CO. Short wave ridging east of trough was returning moisture northward. Band of precipitable water over an inch and a quarter forecast to rotate northward through the forecast area through 00z Thu. Coupled upper level jet was over the area with jet over southern Canada and a southwesterly jet nosing into southeast ND by 18z Wed. Coupled area shifts into Ontario this evening with respectable upper level divergence. Precip basically falls under the 700 hpa theta-e ridge. Water column then dries out tonight and Thu. Precipitable water increases again for Fri/Fri night as upper low off the southern CA coast moves out into the plains of NE. Concurrently an upper trough over western MT will move into northern ND/southern MAN Fri/Fri night. .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Tuesday) Issued at 344 AM CDT Wed May 25 2016 Saturday through Tuesday...The wet pattern will continue with several troughs moving through the Northern Plains. The first will lift from the Central Plains into Minnesota on Saturday, and another large trough coming in from the Rockies on Tuesday. In between, west to southwesterly flow will prevail over the Northern Plains and any of the weak embedded shortwaves could bring some precip. Blended solution gives fairly high POPs throughout the period, with some slight decrease down to 15ish percent Sunday night and Monday at the driest. Given the pattern see little reason to change that wet solution at this point. Temperatures will continue to be mostly above seasonal averages. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Thursday morning) Issued at 659 AM CDT Wed May 25 2016 IFR cigs have moved westward into the far eastern zones. Otherwise the rest of the area was VFR. Expect mostly VFR conditions for today except near storms. && .FGF Watches/Warnings/Advisories... ND...None.

Satisfactory inexpensive citrus juicer for its priceRecently purchased the Philips citrus juicer HR2775 on 13th April2012 through Flipkart. Placing the order was a cakewalk and the product literally arrived the next day on 14th of April. Although I had some issues with the inside packaging of the product but the issue was resolved within 24 hours by Flipkart and they even offered me a replacement. Now that's what I call is customer service .Hence full marks to Flipkart for very good customer service.

Good Delivery supportI got this product today and found that we can make only orange and mosambi juice from this one. Extra you can make lemon juice from this small product.

Worst product ever by philips!!!!Not at all useful. I don't know about other reviews but this is not worth the money. First cons is the motor is extremely slow. When I say slow its like 3-4 rounds per min. Another cons is at first the clockwise-anti clockwise rotation works fine later it rotates only in one direction. It rotates in either direction only at its own will. The juice i got after 15 min was around 10-20 ml only. Its 1 ltr capacity is of no use. Buy it if you have all day to spare. One more thing, when asked the customer care for refund they said the product can only be replaced, not even exchange with other compan… (Expand)

Must buy for everyoneI was quite against buying a only citrus juicer. But today after using it for more than a month, I can happily say that I was proved wrong.

Philips Citrus Press HR2775 JuicerNot too satisfied. Lacks torque to do a good job. THe juicer rotor keeps slipping and changing directions or just stops when you press a little hard. A better motor was needed here IMO.

Not a reliable productWith the desire of having the fresh citrus juice during the breakfast, I searched for Citrus juicers. The search showed up this nice looking juicer at flipkart site. Immediately looked reliable because of the name of the company. Trusted the brand therefore went ahead and ordered. It was delivered last friday (27 Sep). First 3 days it worked but today morning it simply stopped working.

Whenever someone says that they have a Hybrid car, the immediate assumption of everyone in the room is that the Hybrid car is a Toyota Prius. This is the definition of a new-generation car. As people on the market are becoming more and more environmentally conscious, so does the nature of their purchasing. The Toyota Prius boasts a global sales count of three and a half (3.5) million units while Australia counts for nearly forty thousand units (in sales) – this car is most ideal for city-use.
The latest Prius utilizes an improved version of the Prius petrol-electric hybrid system – the main improvement is that the new version is a whole lot lighter and smaller. Since the engine now has water-cooled exhaust gas recirculation and the air conditioning compressor are beltless, the drag on the engine is significantly decreased which allows them to function properly when the engine is on electricity-mode.
This machine is known as an economy car or a commuter car and is not very luxurious – but for those who are more interested in functionality, this is the car for you. The drive is decent and sits reasonably flat – plus the fact that it gives one huge savings when driving in traffic using the electric mode. In comparison to the previous releases of the Prius, the new Toyota Prius has a much smoother transition between petrol and electricity.
The new Prius may not have been rated by ANCAP for safety as of yet, but Toyota is very confident it will receive five stars as all of the Yaris' safety features are found on this car as well. There is a decent amount of space inside (although it is not the luxury people mover type of a vehicle), which can accommodate reasonable luggage and four-to-five people. The Toyota Prius is a lot less expensive than pure electric cars from competitors such as Nissan or Mitsubishi – while some European smaller cars have better fuel-efficiency and can fare better on the open freeway than the Prius, the overall factor to consider with this car is where you drive it. If you spend most or nearly all of your time within the city, then the Prius is the sensible choice.

Video: West Nile Mosquito Found in DeKalb Co.
ATLANTA -- Mosquitoes have invaded metro Atlanta and the biggest worry is West Nile Virus.
Health officials say the first mosquito infected with the disease has just been reported in DeKalb County, but so far nobody has been infected.
Resource Guide: How To Protect Yourself From West Nile
The vigilance continues as heat and rain are making metro Atlanta the ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes.
Forget big lakes, ponds and creeks, all it takes is standing water in a small bottle cap to produce hundreds of mosquitoes.
And that means all out war by health officials, mosquito control companies and homeowners to get the jump on the mosquito invasion.
"I just get demolished by the mosquitoes every summer. I get eaten alive just walking to the mailbox or sitting on the front porch," said Angie Brandenburg, an Atlanta homeowner.
"I've been in the business since 2005 and this is the worst mosquito year I have ever seen," said Jay Webb, of Mosquito Nix, an Atlanta based Mosquito Control Company.
DeKalb County and others throughout the state are now on constant patrol to rid storm drains and standing water pools as breeding grounds for the virus carrying mosquitoes.
Homeowners are joining the fight
They are bringing in companies that spray vegetation and install mosquito control system while also doing their own part.
"Most of our mosquito population does not travel very far so if you have them in your yard, you are probably breeding them in your yard, and it is those small containers that you really need to stay on top of," said Juanette Willis of the DeKalb County Board of Health (Georgia).
"You've got play buckets, sand buckets, old tires that are laying around, and rain barrels that collect rain on top of them. Anything that holds water you want to make sure that you are going by almost every day and just dumping that water out," Webb added.
"We actually found these tablets at the hardware store that help kill mosquitoes in standing water like this," Brandenburg added.
Is all of this working?
"We are standing outside right now and nobody is getting bitten. Without the spraying, I would be swatting, slapping and scratching," Brandenburg added.
So far the mosquito population has met its match but the season has a long way to go.

Two of the more interesting concepts have been announced at CES: the i'm Watch and i'm Here accessories. I'm Watch is more or less a personal a standard watch with an Android-flavor– it's run by the Droid 2 operating system (which is a specialized version of Android) and features items like i'm Cloud, i'music which allows you to listen to music on-demand, i'mages which is an app that takes advantage of the watch's built-in camera and the i'market which gives access to apps in the sporting, music and leisure categories. Best of all– the i'm Watch features Smart Tethering which makes the pairing of the device to your smartphone as efficient and seamless as possible. The i'm Here on the other hand is a GPS tracker which features a built-in SIM card and even allows for the ability to make emergency calls.
Hit the break for the full presser for both cool devices, but don't forget to check out our on-going coverage of CES here.
