COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- Emerging from more than a decade at war, military families are confronting a new worry at home: the prospect that a Washington deal over federal spending cuts could chip away at military benefits long considered untouchable.
If Congress and the White House don't agree on a plan by Jan. 1, a package of across-the-board cuts would take effect that would hit the military heavily. If they do agree on tax and spending steps, the military may also see cuts, but there no specifics yet.
Military families and retirees worry any cuts could hurt assistance they depend on, including military health insurance, pensions or on-base services such as child care and commissaries.
Military spouse Jeremy Hilton of Burke, Va. calls it "fear of the unknown."

An Otley student who made it to the finals of Miss England is celebrating a shared fundraising achievement.
Seventeen year old Holly Hawke and the other contestants from this year's beauty contest held a variety of sponsored events to support Beauty with a Purpose.
Their combined efforts have raised £51,000 for the charity, which helps disadvantaged and sick children worldwide.
Holly, meanwhile, is determined to have another go at winning the contest after getting so close last month.
She said: "It is an amazing amount we've raised for a very worthy cause that will help children in need.
"Taking part in the Miss England finals in Torquay was amazing and I enjoyed every minute of it, it was an experience to never forget.
"I will keep trying to be in with another chance of becoming Miss England."

Area children have unique summer experience
By Dr. Jan Meyer
Wednesday, October 03, 2012 6:30 AM
The Fountain and Root Prairie vacation Bible school participants gather in the Celebration Tent.
When Charlie Brown of the "Peanuts" comic strip went back to school in the fall, his first assignment was to write a 50-word essay about "What I Did This Summer." He thought and thought, but could only come up with about five words: something like "I played with my dog."
Children in the area of the Fountain and Root Prairie Lutheran churches did not have the problem of having nothing to write about. Shortly before school started - in August when kids can get really bored with summer - 46 kids and youth from Fountain, Chatfield, Spring Valley, Lanesboro and Wykoff participated in a unique vacation Bible school experience titled "Babylon: Daniel's Courage in Captivity." For five nights (Aug. 12-16) from 5:30 to 8 p.m., the group gathered at the Fountain church where they joined "tribes" made up of children of similar ages, including a pre-school tribe with nine members.
A trip back in time
According to Geri Schmeckpeper-Hanson, co-director of the program, along with Rachel Glende and Louanne Hamann, the kids "traveled back into Bible times to learn about Daniel and his friends who were captives in a strange land. Each day kids became a part of history."
And each day they dressed up in costumes as they explored what it was like to live in ancient Babylon. The tribes were Benjamin, wearing the color purple, Gad in teal, Simeon in red, Reuben in orange and Judah in brown.
At first, wearing the costumes from Bible times was a challenge for some of the kids as they were "different" or "funny, like a dress." But everyone participated and wore their costumes all week, even getting to like them.
Everyone, the 46 children and 43 adult and teen volunteers, ate together, and went in their tribal groups to the marketplace, enjoyed doing crafts, and stopped into Daniel's place where they heard his story.
Another popular spot to visit was the Royal Animal Courtyard where they could ride a donkey, and the Palace Playground where they could use catapults and trebuchets. They could even visit the lions' den during feeding time. Of course the only way to get to the lions' den was through a tunnel aqueduct under the Hanging Gardens! And every evening the smaller tribes joined together for a large group celebration in the outdoor tent.
Relationships and perceptions made and changed
The main characters in the story of Daniel and the lions' den were played during the week by adults. And those adults said they loved the relationships they developed with the children. In addition to the time spent in tribe activities, they all went to celebration time together. One of the staff said he found himself singing the VBS songs the next week while he worked out in the fields.
The kids got to see another side of the two churches' minister, the Rev. Paul Forde. He played Daniel's sidekick, Ashpenaz; Daniel was played by Mark Kotteman. According to Schmeckpeper-Hanson, every day Forde made everyone laugh, showing up in goofy slippers and holding a stuffed lion he named "Fluffy" - because Forde woke up late. He came out of the fiery furnace with soot all over his face, and he jumped up on chairs squealing because he was afraid of the lions. That was quite a different image from the one they see on Sunday mornings.
The children obviously had a lot of fun while they learned, since everything was experiential: "not like school where we have to sit in class." All the places they visited in the marketplace, the stories that Daniel told them and what they saw, the Bible verses they learned, and the songs they sang and the dances they did, even the food they ate, were part of the learning experience.
Community resources garnered for the occasion
A lot of creativity was required for the physical layout, and most of the space, indoors and out, was in use for the week. But also a lot of community resources were made available.
The "sets" themselves were, according to Schmeckpeper-Hanson, "a combination of bought, built and borrowed!" Some were walls she had painted for last year's vacation Bible school; some were Lenten sets that were re-purposed. For example, Joseph's jail became the lions' den. Some new walls were constructed for this year, and a backdrop curtain was purchased for the celebration tent, which was used when the entire group was meeting together. The party tent used for that had been donated by Chad and Jami Wangen.
Marion Church of Christ had used the same theme for its vacation Bible school just a week earlier, and that "celebration set" was donated for re-use in Fountain. It also was a result of local creativity: it was made of refrigerator boxes painted to look like a version of Ishtar's Gate in Babylon. And when Fountain was finished with them, "those boxes moved on to yet another home as harvest backdrops."
An ambitious production always brings challenges
"The mixed weather had us moving those boxes, signs and plants in and out of the church!" said Schmeckpeper-Hanson. On nice evenings, the celebration time was out in the tent. That meant hauling the set outside and then taking it down due to the wind. Then, "Oops! It is raining...haul the set into the sanctuary. Now it's nice again, haul it back out again! But a couple of adults were up for the challenge and made sure it was perfect every day."
Due to the seemingly elaborate staging, paying for it could have been a challenge. But the donated resources and people's generous time commitments helped to overcome any financial concerns.
Also an experience in giving for the children
The experience was free for any children interested in attending, and the kids could bring a "loose-change" free-will offering each day. But that offering went to the Evangelical Lutheran Church's Malaria Campaign to purchase mosquito nets for people in Africa to help prevent malaria. Each $10 donated would purchase one net; each day their offering numbers went up and more nets were purchased.
The hope was that by the end of the week, enough would have been collected to buy one net in each child's name. At the closing celebration, Schmeckpeper-Hanson asked one child to stand up for every net they were able to buy. Not only did every one of the children stand up, but some adults stood too, because sixty nets had been purchased with the collection of $598 during the week.
"Many families in Africa can share a net, so many more than 60 people can now fight malaria because of these kids' efforts," she added.
Charlie Brown may have had a boring summer. But, given this experience and thanks to Fountain and Root Prairie Lutheran Churches, 46 area children had plenty to tell about what they did during the summer, not just fun but learning too

SEAN Dyche is quite right when he says that Burnley can only concentrate on themselves and not worry about the opposition or the teams around them in the table.
But there is no doubt the Clarets' promotion cause has been helped by Wigan and QPR failing to make the most of their games in hand in midweek.
As such, Burnley maintain their 10-point cushion in second place going into the last 10 games.
It's the final countdown, and we're in a position that we shouldn't really lose.
Who knows, with Leicester still to come to Turf Moor Ross Wallace could even have a point in saying the Clarets can go for the title.
What a tremendous achievement that would be for a small town like Burnley. It is important, though, that we don't get ahead of ourselves, and I'm sure the manager won't let that happen.
He will know his side are in for a tough test at Charlton tomorrow, with the Addicks fighting for their Championship lives.
They are unbeaten under new boss Jose Riga, and will be lifted by their late win over Bournemouth in midweek.
We weren't at our best against Leeds last weekend but we still managed to dig in after going behind and get an important win. That is what has impressed me about the side this season, we never know when we're beaten. We keep going for the full 90 minutes and beyond.
Danny Ings' absence is a blow for us, but we have proved we are not a one-man team this season, particularly recently with midfielders and defenders starting to chip in with more goals.
Scott Arfield has been a revelation this season and took his winner terrifically on Saturday.
And Sam Vokes has proved himself capable of playing alongside different types of strikers and forging partnerships, so his latest one with Ashley Barnes is one I expect to develop while Ings is on the sidelines.
He'll be chomping at the bit to get back and prove why he was voted Championship player of the year. He has been tremendous all season and got deserved recognition at the Football League Awards.
But the fact that he is not guaranteed the same honour at club level tells you everything you need to know about how good Burnley have been this season.
Kieran Trippier would get my vote. Without doubt he's the best right back in the Championship.

The weather has finally broken, and it is officially Spring. People are certainly feeling the season. I can tell just from the fresh faces I see at the gym.
Let me explain.
I have periods in my life where I become a real gym rat. You can't tell by looking, but I usually work out four or five times a week. For the most part, I see the usual suspects hitting the weight room, track, classes or what I call the machine room. The gym is a habit for us. I may not know their names, yet I do know what they like to do, and that they will be there the next day like clockwork.
There are two times a year at any gym in the country that a boatload of new enthusiasts show up to get in shape. The first period begins on Jan. 2 when guilty holiday indulgers and resolution-bound promise-makers decide it is time to get in shape. The second wave comes when spring is near and the desire to get those beach bodies inspires people to get off the couch and get into shape. Unfortunately, it never lasts. and after a week or so, it's me and my fellow heavy-users again.
I've tried to figure out why people don't stay, and I think I have found a couple of reasons.
The first deterrent, I think, is comfort. Imagine someone who does not exercise in public often showing up at the gym and running into us heavy-users. They may not know what to do, where to do it, and are probably concerned on some level about looking silly in front of people who are methodically pushing through a workout.
My advice is to toss that aside. No one is born knowing how to work out. More importantly, fitness is as trendy as fashion or pop music, so don't worry about knowing how to work out immediately. I've been told and re-told since high school the "right way" to exercise, and I'll be darned if it does not change six months later. It's like the coffee is good for you; coffee is bad for you back and forth. So, as long as it is safe for yourself and everyone else, do what you want. And, don't be afraid to ask people questions because gym rats are way more than happy to give advice.
The second thing I'll say builds on the first. If you want to stick with working out, do things that you enjoy. If you like walking, then walk. If you like lifting weights, then lift weights. If you're like me and you don't care for the machines, then don't use them. There are also some different facilities throughout the county to choose from.
Admittedly, it can be hard to find out what those exercise routines are. Personally, I have found the program that works best for me in the latest fitness craze known as Crossfit (Google it). It wears me out, leaves me in pain, and I like doing it. Before that I was always lifting heavy weights in the latest and greatest way to do that and then moving onto 20 or so dreadful minutes on some machine. I wish I had thought about trying something different sooner because I would have never stopped exercising had I found something I liked this much.

Russia's invasion of Crimea sent grains higher to start the week. Russia invaded the Crimean region of Ukraine over the weekend and may have the whole country in its sights. The potential implications of that news, including grain trade disruptions and/or embargoes sent the grain and soy markets soaring Sunday night. Corn backed away from early highs despite a supportive Export Inspections result, but ended the day quite firmly. May corn surged 7.0 cents to $4.705/bushel in late Monday trading, while December ran up 5.0 to $4.765.
The soybean complex couldn't sustain Sunday night gains. Although soybeans aren't all that big of a crop in the Black Sea region, Russia and Ukraine certainly grow much more than in the past. Traders are likely considering substitution effects as well, since a disruption of wheat exports from that area could spur soy usage. Ukraine's position as a major sunflower oil producer boosted soyoil. However, after rallying strongly Sunday night, nearby beans and meal ended the day lower. May soybeans fell 4.75 cents to $14.0925/bushel at Monday's close, while May soyoil leapt 0.59 cents to 42.38 cents/pound, and May soymeal turned $7.5 lower to $450.5/ton.
The wheat markets led the way higher to start the week. The possibility that a conflict between Russia and Ukraine will greatly disrupt Black Sea exports and/or cause the U.N. or the Western Powers to boycott Russian wheat sent futures dramatically higher Sunday night. The weekly Export Inspections report was also supportive. In addition, current cold may be hurting U.S. winter wheat. May CBOT wheat futures soared 29.25 cents to $6.315/bushel at their Monday settlement, while May KCBT wheat futures spiked 26.0 cents to $7.00, and May MWE futures vaulted 16.25 to $6.725.
Cattle futures turned mixed Monday. CME traders seem uncertain about likely short-term cattle and beef prospects in the wake of last week's big surge. Despite another midsession jump in beef cutout, the nearby April future closed lower on the day. Conversely, large discounts in deferred futures seemed to support those contracts. The prospect of higher feed costs may also have boosted the deferreds. April cattle futures slid 0.85 to 144.12 cents/pound as CME pit trading ended Monday, while August climbed 0.62 to 133.25. Meanwhile, April feeder cattle were flat at 173.07 cents/pound, while August stalled at 175.57.
Bulls pushed hog futures higher again today. Big cash and wholesale gains posted last Friday apparently encouraged bullish traders to buy hog futures aggressively again today. Bullish expectations built upon robust demand and seasonally tightening supplies continued spurring active buying despite less-than supportive midsession news. April hogs leapt 1.82 cents to 108.67 cents/pound at Monday's close, while June climbed 0.52 to 112.75.

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
Everybody likes to get something for nothing. But interestingly, most of us feel guilty about it. Subliminally, consumers feel an obligation to buy if they've been given something for free. We receive a free sample and we are compelled to buy the product so as to reciprocate.

 Think about the last time you were at the grocery store and received a free sample of some food item. It tasted good; the lady who gave it to you was nice; so you bought the product. You may not have wanted it, or it may not have been your regular brand. But you received a free sample, so it was really the polite thing to do.

 Marketers know that if we bestow a free sample of our product upon our target customers, they are far more likely to purchase the product than if we simply advertise it or even send them a coupon. And why not? A sample is instant gratification. And it's a no-risk way to decide if we like a new product or service. Plus, research shows that consumers consider sampling the best way to evaluate a new product, better than word-of-mouth, coupons, advertising, games or contests. And seven out of 10 people will switch brands if they like a sample.

 Samples create tremendous credibility for a product. Customers realize that a company would not give it away if they were not 100% behind the product. Sampling says: "We have a product; it's darned good; we want you to try it and see how good it is, too."

 Many companies use samples to introduce a new product. Procter & Gamble won't launch a new product without first sampling it in test markets. But new products are not the only time to use samples. Here are five other times you should consider sampling:

 1. Sample when you need to reach a new audience.
 For years, high energy snack bars were a food staple among backpackers and athletes. But when companies began aggressively sampling, snack bars found their way from health food stores to the supermarket shelves.

 2. Sample when you need to change customer perceptions.
 At McDonald's several years ago, we wanted our customers to see how good our 100% pure beef hamburgers really were. So we cooked up a batch of burgers, chopped them into bite-size pieces, put some toothpicks in them, and offered them free to our customers. Later, our research showed a dramatic jump in quality perceptions and consumer satisfaction levels. While Wendy's was asking, "Where's the beef?" McDonald's was delivering it.

 3. Sample to generate traffic into your store.
 Often, the best way to sample a product is when the customer is already in a buying mood. Your suppliers may be willing to provide sample products for distribution in your store because they know they are more likely to turn the customers' sense of reciprocation into sales. Contact some of your suppliers and ask about sample products. It's a low-cost way to increase your store traffic without discounting your regular merchandise.

 4. Sample to showcase a new use for your product.
 When Mrs. Dash, a salt substitute, wanted to encourage the product's use as a pizza topping, it offered it free with Boboli pizza crust purchases. Consumers had an opportunity to try the product on their pizzas; both product awareness and sales soared.

 5. Use samples to encourage trading up.
 "Now that you have your free starter set, would you like to purchase this deluxe set, or maybe this handy carrying case?" The Lego Toy Company often gives away simple starter sets of its connectable toys. They hope that, after you use a basic set for awhile, you will want to trade up to one of their more elaborate assembly toys (at an elaborate price, of course).

 Sample "Sale"

 If you sample to draw new customers, be sure to advertise "FREE Samples" in your local newspaper and on radio. No sense giving stuff just to the folks who were already going to shop you anyway. While it's nice to reward regular customers, the objective is draw new customers.

 Sampling puts product directly in the hands of the people you most want to reach. It's a powerful way to create awareness for your product. And it's an ideal way of demonstrating all its benefits to the user.

 Samples generate excitement. After all, nothing works better than "FREE!"

No. 1 Indiana fends off North Dakota St. 87-61
Cody Zeller scored 22 points and Remy Abell added a career-high 14 to lead No. 1 Indiana past pesky North Dakota State 87-61 on Monday night.
This was no typical game for the Hoosiers (2-0), whose offense struggled to get in sync against the foul-prone Bison (1-1).
It all seemed to be part of North Dakota State's plan.
Rather than allowing Indiana to run its up-tempo, inside-out offense, the Bison slowed things down by challenging shots and repeatedly sending Indiana to the free-throw line. And with Indiana's outside shooters struggling in the first half, the game plan worked.
Everything changed early in the second half after the Bison closed to 48-38. Zeller and Abell combined for 15 points in a 23-13 run, finally turning the contest into a rout.
North Dakota State was led by Marshall Bjorklund with 16 points and Mike Felt with 11.

NERVELESS York Cricket Club emerged victorious from a thrilling encounter against Chester-le-Street to book their place in the regional final of the Royal London Club Championship.
The tie ebbed and flowed with the result uncertain right up until the penultimate over of the tie at Ropery Lane, where the Clifton Parkers prevailed by eight runs.
York chose to bat first and it was largely thanks to a third wicket partnership of 122 between Simon Lambert and Alex Collins that they were able to post a competitive total.
Lambert and opening partner Liam McKendry made a cautious start against the new ball but when McKendry miscued a Liam Simpson delivery to point and the same bowler bowled Ryan McKendry in his next over the visitors were 30-2 in the 12th over.
Lambert and Collins stayed together for the next 24 overs during which time Lambert reached his half-century from 80 balls to afford York the initiative.
The home side chose to go with spin for the middle part of the innings and with the field spread to protect the boundaries the batsmen were able to take advantage of the gaps to accumulate runs without taking any risks.
With both batsmen looking increasingly at ease seamer Andrew Bell was brought back, a move which paid an instant dividend when Lambert edged behind to wicket-keeper Chris Youldon, the left hander finishing top scorer with 68.
Collins reached his 50 off 85 balls but a second wicket for Bell and a run-out pegged back York to 161-5 going into the last six overs.
Tom Pringle, with 19 from 16 balls, and Daniel Woods, with 17 from ten, helped to boost the total. Collins remained unbeaten on 62 as York closed on 210-7 from 45 overs.
Chester-le-Street began confidently. Simon Birtwisle and Chris Martin, with the help of some wayward bowling, put on 47 for the first wicket, but both fell in the space of four balls.
Birtwisle hit a low return catch to bowler Glen Richmond and Nick Kay knocked back Martin's middle stump.
Skipper John Coxon failed to make his ground beaten by Ryan McKendry's direct hit as the hosts slumped to 72-3.
Andrew Smith and Quentin Hughes steadied things with a partnership of 46 and with York's bowlers contributing 24 wides in 28 overs the hosts were emerging as favourites.
The introduction of Ryan McKendry proved the turning point, the spinner having Hughes caught behind in his first over.
Pringle struck twice in the next and at 119-6 the visitors looked back on top.
The pendulum swung to the hosts as Smith and Callum Thorp added 41 before Thorp, having hit two sixes, failed to clear Collins at long-on off McKendry.
Unbeaten on 53, Smith remained the chief threat with 30 needed of the last five overs.
An excellent throw from Chris Burn and smart work by McKendry ran out Smith but when 13 came from the 42nd over reducing the target to 15 from 18 and two wickets, the tie was in the balance.
Sam Beales held his nerve taking a well judged catch on the boundary right in front of a large section of partisan home supporter to dismiss Bell, giving McKendry his third wicket.
Then, in the penultimate over of the innings, skipper Woods trapped David Foster (20) lbw to finally seal victory and clinch a home tie against Hetton Lyons in the regional final on Sunday, June 22.

(May 29, 2012) Earlier this month, Burkina Faso announced a plan to offer legal and other types of support to persons accused of witchcraft and driven from their homes. The plan will go into effect between this year and 2016. In addition to access to legal and psycho-social counseling, the victims will be given financial support to re-establish themselves in their fields of work. (Brahima Ouédraogo, Burkina Faso: Action Plan to End Banishing of 'Witches' in Burkina Faso, ALLAFRICA (May 7, 2012), http://allafrica.com/stories/201205071482.html.)
The problem stems from a custom called "the bearing of the body," in which when someone dies in what is thought to be suspicious circumstances, the body is carried through the community. It is believed that the deceased person will guide the community to the one responsible for the death. Usually the person accused is chased away from their home. According to Burkina Faso's Ministry for Social Action and National Solidarity, almost 600 women have been victims of this custom. (Id.)
Gérard Zongo, from the non-governmental organization Commission Justice et Paix (CJP), noted that most of the accused are women and that when men are accused of witchcraft, they have had more success in moving to new villages and starting over. (Id.) The plan for assistance to these women was developed carefully over five years. According to Boukary Sawadogo, Director-General of the Ministry, the draft was written with sensitivity to the cultural context. Sawadogo explained:
We're not passing judgment on sorcery in Burkina, but we will respond to the facts, which are exclusion and violence …. It's a social phenomenon which one cannot simply decree an end to. It's a process that calls for a favourable environment to secure participation by everyone …. If the traditional chiefs are not ready, then you'll never achieve it. (Id.)
CJP argues that the government policy does not go far enough and that legislation should be enacted to deal with the problem. "Contrary to what many people think, we could quickly put an end to this phenomenon. It calls for clear legislation; for example, we could ban 'the bearing of the body,'" Zongo said. (Id.)
Support similar to that outlined in the new plan was recommended by a group of organizations that submitted a report to the 47th session of the Committee on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. The report noted that "[t]he belief in witchcraft is widespread in Burkina Faso and older women are often the subject of accusations. Accused women are subjected to psychological trauma, physical harm, social exclusion, impoverishment through loss of property and assets, and ultimately banishment from their communities." (Discrimination Against Older Women in Burkina Faso (July 2010), Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights website.)
The report also called on the government to "investigate, prosecute and punish acts of violence towards older women and other offences, including accusations of witchcraft, committed as a result of traditional beliefs in witchcraft under appropriate criminal laws, for example, murder, assault, damage to property, incitement and libel." (Id.)
Haridata Dacouré, president of the women's rights organization Femmes et Droits pour le Développement, also felt the government plan did not go far enough to protect women accused of witchcraft. She suggested, however, that attempting to prosecute those who threaten and beat the women will not succeed, because it is usually a large group that carries out the actions and locating the guilty parties would be difficult. Instead she advocates making the head of a community that mistreats a supposed witch pay damages to the victim. She added:
I'm convinced that when we target the wallets of these people who burn down women's houses, who assault and exclude women like this – when instead of the government taking care of the victims, we go into their pockets for money to reintegrate people – then they'll think more carefully before they act. (Ouédraogo, supra.)

The Melbourne cleanout has begun with five players delisted on Wednesday as the club prepares for a new era under premiership coach Paul Roos.
After a disastrous season which saw the departure of coach Mark Neeld, the club has told James Sellar, Josh Tynan, Troy Davis, Tom Gillies and Tom Couch that they are no longer wanted. The players will leave the club alongside the retiring Aaron Davey, David Rodan and Joel MacDonald.
That club also did not renew the contracts of assistant coaches Brian Royal and Leigh Brown.
Roos told Fox Footy's On The Couch that the Demons were sounding out Hawthorn assistant Adam Simpson and West Coast's Scott Burns about becoming the coach-in-waiting under Roos.
North Melbourne assistant Brett Allison, meanwhile, has been signed by the Demons. Allison worked with Roos at the Swans in a development role with the reserve grade side.
Allison is a dual premiership player with the Kangaroos and has been in charge of the club's forward line since 2010. North manager of football operations Jon Haines clearly had mixed feelings about Allison's departure.
"Brett has been outstanding in his role with us over the past four years and departs with the highest amount of respect and good will. He will be a great loss and we wish him all the best," he said.

Linksys SRX Technology
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Wireless / WiFi
Linksys has recently released their SRX enabled router and PC card line. What is unique about the Linksys WRT54GX router is that it supports 802.11g and 802.11b connections, and throws in SRX (Speed and Range eXpansion) technology which provides a speed boost which is up to 8 times faster than standard 802.11g connections with 3 times the range. What's even better, you can mix 802.11b, 802.11g, and SRX devices all on the same network and they will all connect at their maximum respective speeds since the router has individual antennas for each speed.
Firefox Makes Gains Against Internet Explorer
Posted by Categories: Software
Mozilla Firefox has jumped to nearly 5% market share, according to online measurement company WebSideStory, while Microsoft's Internet Explorer has dropped to just below 93%. MSIE has dropped 4% in market share since June, most of which can be attributed to the Department of Homeland Security's endorsement of alternative browsers to prevent spyware as well as vigorous promotion by satisfied Firefox users. While MSIE maintains a high percentage of users, its obvious that many are switching. There are some who believe that as Firefox gains market share, hackers will begin to find exploits in its code, which will be the true test of Firefox's open source nature.
Looking at Gear Live's visitor statistics, back in June less than 2% of our visitors entered using a Firefox browser. Today, we have an average of 65% of readers using Internet Explorer, and a nice 26% using Firefox.

Universal Digital Music Format?
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Music
Sony, Philips, Matsushita and Samsung have decided to work together to produce a system to manage digital music and video in order to put an end to piracy, or at least make it harder. These companies have finally realized that there are too many companies with their own brand for digital music. This leads to consumers not being able to play songs they purchased legally on their own MP3 player. Hopefully more companies will join in on this venture to fully embrace one digital music standard. After all, who wants to buy a new portable music player just so they can play one album they bought at so and so's online store?

Microsoft Office Outlook Live
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Software
When Microsoft removed POP3 access from it's Hotmail email service, everyone expected it would reappear with a fee attached. Enter Microsoft Office Outlook Live - Microsoft's new subscription service which provides a marriage of sorts between MSN Hotmail and Microsoft Outlook. It provides 2 GB of online storage space, and allows attachments up to 20 MB in size.
"Outlook Live is the most advanced email service available from Microsoft and is perfect for individuals who really want to get the most out of their email," said Blake Irving, Corporate Veep of MSN Communication Services. Through April 19, a one year subscription can be purchased for $44.95 - after that, it gets bumped up to $59.95. It is currently only available in the US, Canada, and the UK.

Michael Powell to Resign as Chairman of FCC
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Corporate News
Federal Communications Commission Chairman Michael Powell has turned in his resignation after a four year stint in the position. What I liked about Powell was that he wasn't all for strict telecommunications regulation. However, it was a pain in the past year seeing products like TiVo, the Sony Clie, and a myriad of cell phones have to go through hell to get things approved for use in the United States. Maybe the next person to take the seat will be a bit more lenient. Powell, who is a huge advocate of Broadband over Power Lines (BPL), will work his final day as FCC Chairman on March 10, 2005.

Unless you have been locked away somewhere, you have got to know that the Motorola RAZR V3 is the hottest phone on the market right now (despite having quite a few flaws).With the RAZR V3, it's all about the look. Motorola is looking to capitalize on the immense popularity of the phone by releasing a few more versions. We can expect more releases of the same phone in an assortment of colors, as well as what has been described as a candy bar styled phone called the RAZR Silver.

REDLANDS - In 2012, the city lost a number of residents who made a difference in the community from a young girl who inspired many to help in the effort to find a cure for leukemia to an "Old Lady" with a heart of gold.
Nine-year-old Clara Cecelia "Cece" Svenson lost her battle with leukemia in mid-February.
To those who knew her, Cece was someone who lit up any room she walked into with her vibrant smile.
Adopted in China in 2008 by Art and Nancy Svenson of Redlands, Cece inspired the community to rally for a cure when she was diagnosed in 2010.
While she was on the road to recovery, community members held a vigil and blood drive, with dozens turning out to show their support for the Kimberly Elementary School student.
Cece went through several rounds of chemotherapy through December 2011 and on Jan. 3, 2012, she received a bone-marrow transplant from an anonymous 21-year-old donor who was the only single matching donor found for her, her parents said.
Thirty-two days after the transplant, Cece underwent a bone-marrow biopsy that found no trace of leukemia.
Even while going through treatments, Cece's positive spirit remained, her parents said, and her hope for a cure never wavered.
"We called her our `Beautiful Warrior' after the book of the same name," they said. "She was the most courageous girl ever, and never lost hope that her leukemia would be cured and she would return home."
She did not recover.
Services for Cece were held at Trinity Episcopal Church in Redlands. Donations can be made in her name to the National Marrow Donor Program - Be the Match - at www.marrow.org.
A 22-year-old Redlands woman died in Australia in early 2012.
The of body Melissa Joy Dietzel was found hanging from a tree in Sydney where she worked as a live-in nanny.
Dietzel had traveled to Australia in her quest to see the world after attending Moore Middle School, Redlands East Valley High and Brigham Young University.
It took Australian police several weeks to identify her. Police used dental records.
After news of her death spread, details emerged that showed a rapid evolution of mental illness.
Her family said she suffered from bipolar disorder.
Dietzel was the seventh in a family of 10 children, which included five brothers and four sisters.
She left for Australia on Nov. 6, 2011, with a six-month working visa. That was the last time her family saw her.
Services for Dietzel were held in Redlands in late February.
John L. Gotz, a longtime professor of music at the University of Redlands who was known to students for his warmth and support, died on Sept. 30.
The UofR held a concert in his memory on Nov. 12 in the Frederick Loewe Performance Hall. The concert featured two young musicians, cellist Rachel Koh and pianist Jingfu Peng, assisted by violinist Dylan Koh and pianist Stephanie Lovell.
Golz, who was also the concertmaster of the Redlands Symphony and Redlands Bowl orchestras for more than 30 years, was remembered by student Leslie Woodbury of La Crescenta, who wrote a letter to the Redlands Daily Facts describing how the man influenced her both musically and personally.
"He had the wealth of his students as people first and foremost, not just their musical advancement as a reflection of his teaching, which is more the norm for many music professors," Woodbury wrote. "I am probably a professional violinist today as a result of his considerate treatment of me.
"He was truly one of a kind, and I'm honored to have been his student."
Paul W. Brubacher, former vice president of student affairs at the university, lost his battle with prostate cancer in October. He was 74.
Brubacher came to the UofR in 1976 as vice president for student affairs.
He worked for the university until 1980 when he left to become a financial representative for the Northwestern Mutual Financial Network before retiring in 2011.
The Army veteran and his wife, Elaine, who had married in 1963, were just a few months short of their 50th wedding anniversary.
Knowing he may not be making it to the milestone, Elaine and Paul celebrated a year early and went on a cruise to Hawaii with family.
Brubacher was known for his kind heart and his love of sports, his wife said. He died wearing his favorite Red Sox T-shirt.
When not participating in sports himself - he was an avid tennis player - Paul would often talk sports with his friends, including James Appleton, former president of the UofR.
"Paul was a lot of fun to be with," Appleton said. "He loved college sports and he and I would always kibitz over how the Redlands Bulldogs were going to do in men's basketball because that was a favorite sport of his.
"And he loved his Michigan Wolverines. I got my Ph.D. at Michigan State - so whenever those teams would play, we had a lot of fun."
Brubacher was also active in the community, serving on the YMCA board for 31 years. He was president in 1984.
He also helped raised money for the organization and earned a Junie Schultz Award for his leadership and service to the YMCA in 1995.
Brubacher also was a board member and chaired the fund development committees for the Redlands Community Music Association and the Redlands Community Hospital Board Foundation.
"If he believed in something, he could get people to donate," his wife said.
Billie Daniel, affectionately known as "Old Lady Daniel,", died Nov. 4 of complications from Alzheimer's disease. She was 82.
A longtime educator for the Redlands Unified School District, Daniel worked most of her career as a teacher and later as a counselor at Redlands High School, where she was employed for 30 years before retiring in 1990.
Daniel and her husband, James H. "Jim," then traveled often across the country to visit with former students, said her daughter, Jamie Daniel of Redlands.
"I don't think she stopped anywhere without seeing any of her ex-students," she said.
Daniel kept two address books - one for her students and one for friends and family.
"She was good with keeping in touch with them ... picking up the phone (instead of sending letters) because it was immediate for her," her daughter said.
Daniel came to Redlands in 1954 from Texas where she was an elementary teacher.
She began working for Redlands Junior High School teaching speech and drama before joining the teaching staff at RHS.
Daniel served on the Vista Guidance Center and the Montessori boards. She also helped raise funds for the Campaign for the Clock effort to help refurbish Clock Auditorium at RHS.
Her community work caught the attention of many, and she was entered into the first class of the Town and Gown Women of Distinction.
She also won a number of awards, including Outstanding Teacher from the Rotary Club in 1969 and a Senior of Distinction at Plymouth Village in 2004.
"She was always very gracious," her daughter said.
Donations can be made in Daniel's name to the Alzheimer's Association and the Family Services Association.
Roy J. Atchley, the father of Redlands historian Tom Atchley, died Nov. 18 of congestive heart failure at Mission Commons. He was 88.
Atchley trained pilots in World War II, co-owned Crafton Dairy and later sold real estate.
After graduating from Colton High School in 1941, Atchley joined the mechanic apprentice program in San Diego where he worked for San Diego Consolidated as a flight engineer-mechanic, working mostly with manufactured PBYs and B-24 Liberator Bombers in World War II.
In 1943, he enlisted in the Army Air Corps where he continued training pilots, his son said.
Although longing to fly, Atchley's vision was put to a halt by Army officials who told him he was more valuable on the ground and training pilots.
"They told him that he was too valuable as a trainer...and he would save more lives if he stayed on as (one)," Tom Atchley said.
After his discharge in 1946, Atchley went to the San Bernardino Air Depot where he performed flight tests until August 1946.
It was while working at the Air Depot that he met his wife of 62 years, Ann Buoye, on a night on the town at the Urbita Springs Ballroom.
They were married on Nov. 22, 1947. Ann died in 2009.
Atchley left the air depot to work for Southern California Edison before leaving the utility in 1953 to become co-owner of Crafton Dairy with his brothers-in-law Joseph and Tom Buoye.
After selling his share of the dairy in 1947, Atchley went on to receive a real estate broker's license and worked for area firms Kivett, Ray Alexander and later Lois Lauer Realty in Yucaipa, where he was the office manager.
After he retired in 1987, he traveled with his wife, visiting China, South Korea, Germany and the Panama Canal.
He was also active in the community as a member of the Paradise Valley Model A Club and Sacred Heart Church, and was as a past president of the Yucaipa Kiwanis Club.
Services were held at Redlands' Hillside Memorial Park.
Dr. Derle R. Riordan, an ear, nose and throat specialist at the Audiology Center of Redlands Medical Clinic, died Nov. 27 after a lengthy illness. He was 82.
Derle opened his practice when he moved to Redlands. The practice was first located on Cajon Street and later on Terracina Boulevard.
His practice thrived, said his wife of 26 years, Barbara.
Many of his patients traveled from all over the Inland Empire because he was the closest doctor in his field.
"He was sort of a pioneer in making sure that as people lose their hearing, they were tested properly, so they would know - and the doctor would know - how best to help them," his wife said.
Derle had a special place in his heart for children with hearing issues.
Often, nonprofit organizations would bring their children to his practice for care, his wife said.
"The most important thing he did was bring excellent care to people who were suffering primarily from hearing losses," she said.
Derle became a diplomat of the American Board of Otolaryngology and a consultant in otology with the California Vocational Rehabilitation Department before retiring in 1994.

Transcript Trutherism Jumps To Fox's "Straight News"
Blog ››› ››› EMILY ARROWOOD
Fox correspondent John Roberts claimed that "it's unclear" whether President Obama was referencing the attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya, when he spoke of "acts of terror" in a speech on September 12, even though Obama was making the speech only because of the attack.
During the October 16 presidential debate, Mitt Romney denied the fact that Obama called the attack in Benghazi an act of terror on September 12. As transcript of the speech shows, on September 12 in the Rose Garden, Obama said of the Benghazi attack, "No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America."
On the very next day, September 13, Obama again called the Benghazi attack an "act of terror" while speaking in Colorado: "So what I want all of you to know is that we are going to bring those who killed our fellow Americans to justice. I want people around the world to hear me: To all those who would do us harm, no act of terror will go unpunished."
Still, right-wing media have pushed the transcript-truther line, claiming that despite this evidence, Obama never called the Benghazi attack an act of terror.
Today, the transcript trutherism moved on to one of Fox's "straight news" programs, America's Newsroom. After airing video of the candidates sparring over Libya during the debate, Roberts said, "So what was it that the president actually said at the Rose Garden on the 12th of September? He said, 'No act of terror -- acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation.' " Roberts then claimed, "But that came at the end of his remarks, and it's unclear, at least in many people's minds, whether that was a direct reference to the attack on the Benghazi consulate."
In fact, Obama spoke in the Rose Garden on September 12 solely to address the attacks on the Benghazi consulate. The White House transcript of the speech is titled "Remarks by the President on the Deaths of U.S. Embassy Staff in Libya."

James Paterson
I said in the previous post Evgeny Kiselev's illustrations reminded me of James Paterson's work (which I hadn't looked at for some time) but I just realised the work on his site right now isn't really the work I was referring to. This video is more representative of the work that immediately jumped to mind when I first looked at Kiselev's stuff.
Paterson really became known for his brain hemorrhage inducing flash animations which were often set to the amazing music of K-rad.

| Ash's Tauros
サトシのケンタロス Satoshi's Kentarosu
|Ash Ketchum
|The Legend of Dratini
|Caught where:
|Kanto Safari Zone
|Current location:
|At Professor Oak's Laboratory
These Tauros are a group of 30 normal-type Pokémon which were captured by Ash in the Kanto Safari Zone.
Ash spent a lot of time in the Safari Zone in The Legend of Dratini, attempting to catch as many Pokémon as he possibly could. However, all he managed to catch were 30 Tauros, as they always ran in front of his Poké Balls when he tried to catch another Pokémon. All 30 were sent to Professor Oak's lab.[1]
Since Ash captured the Tauros in a banned episode, it led to some confusion from international viewers as they wondered how and when Ash had obtained these Tauros. The anime only mentions the events of the banned episode once, in Showdown at the Po-ké Corral, where Oak mentions that Ash captured the thirty Tauros in the Safari Zone, without giving the details on how he captured them.[2]
The herd are mainly seen to be stampeding. Mostly, this occurs in the wide open space at the lab. Their stampeding has been put into good effect, as they woke up Ash's Snorlax when the Professor needed it. However, their stampeding has also damaged properties, like when Ash first returned to Pallet Town when they stampeded through a fence and when they stampeded through the lab, leaving a huge hole in the wall.
Ash decided to use one of the Tauros in his battle against Drake after sending his Snorlax to the lab. Initially, he was confused by Gengar's Confuse Ray and had to be recalled.[3] Tauros was then sent out to battle Drake's Venusaur, which he defeated by himself. He then went on to weaken Dragonite before being defeated.[4]
Ash sent his Heracross to Professor Oak's lab so he could use Tauros as part of a Tauros-battle tournament, which he went on to win.[5]Tauros was also used against Gary in Can't Beat the Heat! , where he was defeated by Gary's Nidoqueen.[6]
Upon Ash's return to Pallet Town following his adventures in Hoenn, the Tauros charged towards him along with his other Pokémon. However, in their excitement, they carried Ash off and he had to be rescued by Bayleef.[7] During Ash's journey in the Kanto Battle Frontier, Ash used Tauros to battle against Salon Maiden Anabel.[8][9]
Despite capturing all his Tauros in green Safari Balls, and these being seen in storage at Oak's lab, Ash always uses regular red Poké Balls when sending his Tauros into battle. It is possible he released and recaptured the one he always uses so that he knows for sure it is his best one.
Known moves
|Hello, Pummelo!
|Take Down
|Enter The Dragonite
|Horn Attack
|The Ties That Bind
|Double Team (move)
|Second Time's The Charm!
|+ indicates this Pokémon used this move recently.*
- indicates this Pokémon normally can't use this move.
Voice actor
Katsuyuki Konishi (Japanese and English)
- Brock caught a Tauros at the same time that Ash caught his first Tauros. Because of this, some believe that Brock should own a Tauros, and the writers forgot about it in subsequent episodes. However, he caught him using one of Ash's Safari Balls, and therefore he is one of the thirty belonging to Ash.
- It has never been revealed whether Ash uses the same Tauros whenever one of them is transferred to him or if Professor Oak simply sends him a random one each time. However, it is likely that the one Ash uses is the leader of the herd.
- Despite them all being captured in green Safari Balls, they all have regular Poké Balls when Ash calls them into battle.
- Ash was offered a Rhyhorn in exchange for his Tauros after winning the Tauros battling competition. Ash had tried to capture a Rhyhorn in the Safari Zone, but a Tauros ran past and was captured instead. Despite this, Ash chooses to keep his Tauros.
- Tauros is Ash's only Pokémon to have used a one-hit knockout move.
- Tauros is the only Pokémon that Ash has more than one of.

Officer dies weeks after on-duty crash
Updated 2:16 am, Monday, December 31, 2012
A San Antonio police officer who had been hospitalized since a Dec. 10 car crash died Saturday evening.
Officer Edrees Mukhtar, 28, had been with the department for 18 months, police said.
Mukhtar was responding to a routine call just before 3 a.m. Dec. 10 when his patrol car hit a wet spot in the 3700 block of Medical Drive. He lost control, struck a curb and went into a side skid before colliding with a pickup, police say.
He was taken to University Hospital with injuries police at the time described as serious but non-life-threatening.
According to an accident report, investigators cited failure to control speed and failure to drive in a single lane as factors in the crash.
News Channel
Funeral arrangements are pending.
Correction: The first name of Officer Edrees Mukhtar, who died Saturday as a result of a Dec. 10 car crash, was misspelled in a news brief on Sunday's Page B2 of the Express-News and on mySA.com.

AARON Nell has turned his back on the Elite League and committed his immediate future to Swindon Wildcats.
The forward has put pen to paper on a one-year deal after turning his back on Sheffield Steelers.
The 24-year-old found his opportunities limited at the Steelers and with new rules increasing the number of imports in the Elite League coming into affect from next season, Nell is determined to help Cats thrive.
"We should have a good young squad next season and hopefully we can continue from where we left off last year," Nell said.
"There are lots of reasons why things didn't work out in Sheffield, but there are lots of reasons why I want to be at Swindon.
"I was sitting there (at Sheffield) and not doing much so there was no point me sitting up there not playing when I could be back in Swindon helping.
"When I came back you could see the good work that was being done and we had a really good end to the year and getting to Coventry and that was success in itself.
"Now we have to take it a step further, we can't just be happy with getting to the play-off finals, we have to start winning things.
"And if we can keep most of he squad together then hopefully we can have an even better season."
Head coach Ryan Aldridge added: "It's great to have Aaron back at the club for next season - there's no doubt he's a fantastic player.
"We know the quality we're getting with Aaron and he knows what the club is all about so it's great to have another piece of the jigsaw in place for next season." Nell is the fourth player of last season's squad to commit to Aldridge's side following on from Jan Kostal, Alex Symonds and Stevie Lyle.
And the forward, who scored 30 goals in 25 Cats appearances, believes that Kostal's move into a player-coach role can only benefit the club.
"Keeping Jan was massive," Nell said. "He is the best player Swindon have had since the old Icelords days in the last millennium.
"When he first came here you could see how professional he was and I'm sure that he will be fine on the coaching side of it as well.
"He is always helping the younger players and I've learnt so much from him during my time."
As well as committing his future to the Link Centre side, Nell will also be working with the Swindon Wildcats in the Community programme aimed at growing the EPL club's work in the area.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/3/2013 (1630 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Ultimate Fighting Championship takes to the ring at the MTS Centre this June in a fight card that's been in the works for a least three years.
Details of the June 15 event are to be released Tuesday morning by True North Sports & Entertainment, which billed it Monday as "a major sporting event."
True North's announcement is at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, and will be broadcast live from winnipegfreepress.com.
Sources told the Free Press that the UFC, the largest mixed martial arts promotion company in the world, has added Winnipeg to the list of cities to host its extremely popular pay-per-view TV series.
Internet mixed martial arts news website mmafrenzy.com, quoting a Brazilian website, reported Monday that the UFC 161 card could pitch light heavyweight Dan Henderson against former UFC champion Rashad Evans. A second light heavyweight matchup between Mauricio "Shogun" Rua and Antonio Rogerio Nogueria may also be announced. The Saturday night fight card is also slated to pit Tyron Woodley versus Jake Shields.
UFC spokesman Steve Keogh declined to comment.
"We have nothing to confirm in terms of upcoming Canadian fights," he said in an email.
Manitoba Combative Sport Commission (MCSC) executive director Joel Fingard also declined to comment on tomorrow's announcement. The MCSC, formerly the Manitoba Boxing Commission—it officially changed its name last year—is the MMA governing body in the province. For UFC to hold a card in the Winnipeg, it needs to obtain a licence and event permit from the MCSC.
"I don't have a permit at this time," Fingard said Monday.

Burley residents are all invited to an event about the Burley Neighbourhood Plan on Friday, March 7, from 6pm to 9pm, and Saturday, March 8, from 9.30am to 3.30pm, in the Queen's Hall, Burley.
This is a chance for the local community to tell the parish council where new housing should go in the village, how the character of Burley should be preserved, what new recreational facilities should be considered and what additional open space should be incorporated into the parish over the next 15 years.
Parish councillors will be at the meetings to hear views, go over the exhibition and listen to advice for the future.
Councillor Stuart Bottomley invited everyone to attend. "Burley belongs to the people of Burley and we want you to tell the parish council how we should plan for the next 15 years," he said.
"We need your views and help at the start of the neighbourhood plan process. Come along and tell us what you want."

The annual Les Nouvelles Esthetiques Spa Awards are hosted in South Africa in conjunction with Les Nouvelles Esthetiques in Paris. The awards are in their fifth year and the aim is to identify and acknowledge spa hospitality excellence (in various categories).
Day spas are found all over the country. This growing trend has embraced the fact that clients want easy access to a wide range of treatments in a tranquil environment away from the hustle and bustle of real life. The keyword here is accessibility and convenience: the day spa offers an oasis where one can enjoy being pampered for a few hours - it's the quick fix spa option for those who have limited time, and it's certainly a very popular concept with locals and international visitors alike.
Day Spas in South Africa range widely, from exclusive spas found at our renowned city hotels to the suburban day spa that offers value-for-money treatments and a convivial atmosphere. There are also day spas out in the country that work on specialised day-packages so clients can realy 'make a day' of it.
We certainly have a number of notable day spas on offer. The Carchele Spa at The Plettenberg (hotel) is coastal spa that offers the perfect wellness mini-getaway for holidaymakers to the Garden Route (look out for their Ladies Indulgence Package - a real treat). In Cape Town you are spoilt for choice with the Librisa Spa at the Mount Nelson Hotel, the ONEwellness at the Radisson and the One&Only Spa on its very own spa island. In Gauteng there are lots of excellent day spas including the notable Kievits Kroon Spa near Pretoria and Villa D'Este in the heart of Johannesburg's leafy suburbia.
There's no doubt that South Africa's day spas really do have something for everyone.
