Business Decision Managers are the movers and shakers – while they're an absolutely key audience to gain feedback from, they're also notoriously hard to reach. Redshift Research has the know-how to tap into this crucial demographic.
If you're looking to market, sell to or engage with businesses you have to understand who does what, why people act the way they do and of course what really matters to them. This is easier said than done.
To target BDMs properly is complex – you need to understand the nature of decisions (strategic, tactical, operational etc.), the role played by different departments (HR, IT, Accounts etc.) in making decisions, and the way in which they interrelate with each other. Then there are the intangibles such as the business climate, governance and the environment. All of these factors impact on the way BDMs think and act.
Redshift's Opinion Polls Market Research Servicesinclude a thorough understanding of these issues – through extensive experience we know how to work through the challenges to reach and get to grips with business decision makers in the UK and abroad.
We have researched BDMs in almost every market sector imaginable, and while many of the parameters remain the same, the development of online panels has been a real game changer.
Traditionally, we had to rely on telephone/face to face interviews or even focus groups to reach business decision makers, which took time and substantial investment. With our very own online panel called Crowdology, although we can't promise to reach the CEO of a FTSE 100 company, we do have access to even specific segments such as 2,400 IT decision makers in China, around 800 HR managers in India and over 2,000 general business decision makers in the US.
In short, the way we can now reach and research this group has changed beyond recognition, allowing us to deliver on-point results that are also cost effective.

All auctions are conducted by Beckett Auction Services, Inc. Each auction is conducted under the following rules and applicable Texas laws. Bidders are bound by the rules, terms and conditions within this document. This Terms of Use Agreement constitutes a valid, binding contract between you and Beckett Auction Services, Inc. If you have any questions, please contact us at email@example.com.
1. Registration: You must be registered and have a verified Beckett Auction Services account in good standing. If you are not currently a registered Beckett Auction Services bidder and wish to register, you can create an account by clicking here. By completing the registration, you are accepting all the terms listed below. At the time of registration, you will create a User ID and password, which can be used in all future auctions. All bidder's must be 18 years of age or older. If you have any questions, please contact us at email@example.com.
1. Buyer's Premium. The Buyer's Premium is 17% for all lots. The bidder acknowledges and agrees that this premium will be added to the hammer price on all individual lots. For example, should you win a lot for $1,000.00 the actual sale price will be $1,170.00 (plus shipping, insurance and sales tax, if applicable).
2. Bidding. All auctions are online only and all bids will only be accepted online. The ending time for the current auction is listed at the top of the auction page. All initial bids must be placed before 9pm CST on the closing night of the auction. The bidder will receive bid confirmations and outbid notifications via e-mail on every lot you are bidding on. Since these e-mails might be identified as spam, the bidder is responsible for keeping track of their bids. Please remember that placing a bid is a legally binding contract and by placing a bid you have agreed to acceptance of our payment terms. Once a bid is placed, it cannot be retracted.
3. Watching Items/Tracking Bids. If you are viewing a lot, but are not ready to place a bid, you can click on the "Watch" button and add that item to your watch list. The auction software is equipped to help you track and follow your bids and watched items through "My Account".
4. Extended Bidding. The entire auction will remain open and active until 15 minutes pass without a bid being placed on ANY lots in the auction. This is known as the "15-Minute Rule". Starting at 9pm CDT, on the last day of the auction, the auction will close at 9pm CDT as long as no bids are placed on any auction lot within a 15 minute span. If, however, a bid is placed within that time span on any auction lot, the entire auction will stay open for another 15 minutes. This process will stay in effect until no bids are placed within a 15 minute time frame on any auction item. To bid on a lot after 9pm CDT, you must have already placed a bid on that lot prior to 9pm CDT. If you are the only bidder on a lot at 9pm CDT on the auction closing date, you will be declared the winner. All final bidding will close no later than 2am CDT and items will be sold to the highest bidder. Please note that some lots may already be closed based on the situations outlined above.
5. Bidding Increments. Items will be sold to the highest bidder. Bids can be no lower than the minimum bid listed on the website. When you are bidding, you will be able to view the current high bid for the lot. When you are ready to bid on a lot, you can view a pull down menu of incremental bid amounts. You can then select the next incremental bid amount or a higher amount. Bid increments are set at 10% increases for all lots for items up to $5,000 and 5% increases for items over $5,000.
6. Minimum Bids and Reserves. The minimum bid is the lowest amount that will be accepted for a particular lot. A reserve price is a confidential minimum price and it is the lowest amount that a consignor will accept for a lot. Any lot that features a reserve price will show if the reserve price has or has not been met. If the reserve price is not met, the lot will not be sold. Most lots do not have reserves.
7. Maximum Bids. The maximum bid is the highest price that you are willing to spend on a lot. When placing this type of bid, you are instructing the auction house to competitively bid on your behalf up to (but not over) the maximum amount you have set, in the standard 10% or 5% bid increments. These bids are not known by us and the software will automatically up a bid within seconds of a topped bid when the maximum bid is in effect, while at the same time allowing you to purchase the lot for the lowest possible price under your maximum bid. If there are multiple maximum bids placed at the same amount, the earliest bidder will be recognized as the high bidder.
8. Product Information. All our descriptions are as accurate and up-to-date as possible. Any population figures associated with graded cards come from BGS, PSA or SGC. There are multiple images of virtually every lot available, as well as any letters of authenticity.
9. Bidding Errors. Before you place a bid, it is up to YOU to make sure you have the correct lot and the correct bid. Beckett Auction Services is not responsible for errors made in the bidding process. Please remember that the bid you place will also have the 17% Buyer's Premium, shipping and insurance added to your final bid. There are no bid retractions and the winning bidder is bound to pay for that lot.
10. Lot Description Errors. Any error to a listing, a description or an image for a lot will be corrected, if possible. Beckett Auction Services reserves the right to remove a lot from an auction at any time if errors are found.
11. In-Person Lot Viewing. You may contact us to view a lot in person prior to the final day of auction close by e-mailing us at firstname.lastname@example.com. All viewings will take place at the Beckett Media LLC headquarters in Dallas, Texas by appointment only.
12. Bidding Rights. Your use of this site is at the sole discretion of Beckett Auction Services, who reserves the right to refuse to accept bids or approve bidders for any reason, with or without cause. In the event of termination of site use, all representations, warranties, indemnifications and promises made by you shall survive. In addition, Beckett Auction Services personnel are not permitted to bid on any lot in the auction.
13. Service Disruption. If, for any reason, our auction is interrupted due to internet issues or malfunction during the final days of bidding, Beckett Auction Services reserves the right to extend, cancel or suspend auctions that have been affected by such an occurrence.
1. Invoicing. Once the auction has closed, you will receive an invoice for the item(s) won via e-mail. This invoice will contain the total, which includes the winning bid amount, the 17% Buyer's Premium amount, shipping amount, insurance amount and sales tax amount (if in Texas). Please do not attempt to make payment until you have received your final invoice, which you will receive by 5pm on the Monday following the auction closing. There is also a 2% discount for paying via cash, check, cashier's check and money order. If you plan on paying this way, please notify us before you send payment and we will adjust your invoice. You can contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com
2. Payment. The accepted forms of payment are by check, money order, cashier's check, credit card (some limits may apply) and Paypal. All invoices should be paid in full within seven (7) days of the close of the auction. Failure to pay your invoice in a timely manner could result in your bidding privileges being revoked in future auctions. You are responsible for any and all bids placed with your User ID and password. Beckett Auction Services reserves the right to turn non-paying bidders over to a collection agency after the payment period has elapsed.
If paying by check or money order, please remit invoice and payment to:
Beckett Auction Services 4635 McEwen Rd. Dallas, TX 75244
3. Cleared Payment. All payments must be cleared prior to the winning lot being shipped out. There are NO exceptions. Typically, it takes 3-5 business days for a check to clear.
4. Shipping. Shipping and insurance costs are the buyer's responsibility. Please allow 5-7 business days following a cleared payment for items to ship. Most domestic items will be shipped via FedEx Ground or Air or via USPS. All items are shipped insured. For Framed items, we do make every effort to protect the frames through the shipping process; however, we cannot be responsible for damage to framed items.
5. International Shipping. All international items will be shipped via USPS Global Priority Express and will be declared at full value. Beckett Auction Services is not responsible for customs, duties, brokerage and/or similar charges on items shipped internationally.
6. Sales Tax. Items purchased and shipped in the State of Texas will be subject to the 8.25% sales tax, unless the bidder has provided a current tax exempt resale certificate.
7. All Sales Final. All sales are final and no returns are allowed. We strongly encourage bidders to call or e-mail with any questions before placing bids. Though we do our best to accurately describe the condition of ungraded items in our auctions, we cannot guarantee that every lot described by Beckett Auction Services will be graded the same by the bidder or a third party. If you are unsure of anything, ask, THEN bid.
1. Consignor Bidding and/or Shill Bidding. A consignor is prohibited from placing any bids (or arranging to have bids placed on their behalf by friends or family members) on their own items. Shill Bidding means placing a bid with the intent to drive up the final sale price without the intent to pay and take ownership of the winning lot. Anyone found guilty of this will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and banned from future auctions.
2. Autograph Authentication. Most autographs sold through Beckett Auction Services come with authentication from Beckett Authentic, Frozen Pond, JSA, Mounted Memories, Panini Authentic, PSA/DNA, Steiner, Tri-Star or Upper Deck Authenticated. Some items may come with more than one COA or LOA. If you have any questions with their service, please contact the appropriate organization directly. We are not responsible for items arriving with a COA/LOA from one company that may conflict with the opinions of another company.
3. Graded Cards. Most graded cards sold through Beckett Auction Services come from either BGS, BVG, PSA or SGC. If you have any questions with their service, please contact the appropriate organization directly. We are not responsible for items arriving with a particular grade from one company that may conflict with the opinions of another company.
4. Currency. All bidding amounts are in U.S. dollars.
5. Ownership of Items. Some of the items being offered for sale may be owned by Beckett Media LLC or its subsidiaries or employees of said companies.
6. Non-payment. If a winning bidder does not pay in full, per the auction rules, it is agreed that Beckett Auction Services may, at its sole discretion, sell the lots to the under bidder or offer the lots again in a future auction. The original winning bidder is responsible for any losses incurred or service charges involved in the resale of those lots, and the non-paying winning bidder explicitly agrees to pay all reasonable legal fees incurred by Beckett Auction Services in the collection of these losses. Non-paying bidders are also responsible for interest charges at the rate of 2% per month for all outstanding balances until paid in full.
6. As Is. All lots are sold "as is" to the highest bidder. You are required to read the entire description for a lot thoroughly before placing a bid. Items may not be returned for any reason whatsoever except in the case of fraud. Any claim of fraud must be made at the time the fraud occurs or when the bidder should have known of a fraud and filed in Court within 30 days. Failure to file claim of fraud within 30 days waives any right to redress. All sales are final upon acceptance and payment. .

At the start of the meal the local cuisine already presents one of its glories: the pasta, preferably hand-made, in shape of "tagliatelle" (noodles) and "lasagne", seasoned with the typical meat ragout.
But the very characteristic of the whole area is that particular type of filled pasta called "cappelletti", served in a sauce or in an excellent broth. As for the main course, we find in the foreground the results of that old art to prepare meat and the fish of the Adriatic Sea, the traditional barbecue, in the local dialect "gardela", into which fish and meat are laid down to be grilled on embers.

COSTA MESA – A fight between two men at a motel led to a stabbing Tuesday morning, authorities said.
One of the men suffered cuts to the arm and a puncture on his back, while the other was arrested on suspicion of attempted homicide and assault with a deadly weapon, according to a statement released by the Costa Mesa Police Department.
Officers learned of the fight at about 4:20 a.m. Tuesday, after police and paramedics were called to a Circle-K at 111 Del Mar Avenue because a man was found bleeding at the market.
According to police, the man had suffered several cuts to the arm, and officers followed a blood trail from the market back to the Regency Inn at 2544 Newport Blvd.
Witnesses told officers a fight had broken out between two men at the hotel earlier in the day.
Costa Mesa Police officials suspect Andrew James Jurjaks, 29, had a room at the motel and was the other man who was involved in the fight.
Jurjaks was found by detectives at an apartment in the 2300 block of Elden Avenue, where he was then seen leaving in a cab.
Officers stopped the cab at the 200 block of 20th Street and took Jurjaks into custody, according to the statement.
Jurjaks, whom authorities described as a "self-admitted 'Skin Head'" was booked in county jail and was being held in lieu of $500,000 bail.
The cause of the argument is still under investigation, but officers do not believe it was motivated by robbery, drugs, or gangs, the statement read.
The knife used in the stabbing has not yet been found.
Police declined to release a booking photo of Jurjaks because of the ongoing investigation.

But he'll have no such luxury on Saturday, when the defending national champion Penguins invade Dix Stadium to battle the Golden Flashes in a game Pees himself says is a pick 'em.
"Talent-wise, we're pretty equal," said Pees, who will make his Dix Stadium coaching debut on Saturday. "We may have an advantage in some areas, but we can't make mistakes and beat them. We'll have to out-perform them to win."
And out-performing the Penguins is no easy task.
Veteran mentor Jim Tressel has led YSU to 86 wins (sixth-most in all of college football) and four national titles this decade, and his Penguins are once again I-AA's top-ranked team in '98.
"They're really an impressive team," said Pees. "They're well-coached and disciplined, and they don't make critical errors. To beat YSU, you have to beat them because they won't beat themselves. That's how they've won so many national championships."
Youngstown State ran roughshod over the Flashes a year ago, piling up 328 yards on the ground while earning an impressive 44-23 victory at Stambaugh Stadium.
Running backs Jake Andreadis (5-foot-8, 185-pound senior) and Adrian Brown (6-0, 210-pound junior), who combined to rush for 211 yards and three touchdowns in last year's rout, return to anchor the offense this season. And junior Andre Cook (5-7, 190), who ran for a team-high 87 yards in YSU's season-opening 50-6 victory over Division II cupcake Clarion, has been added to the mix.
Junior quarterback Jared Zwick (6-0, 205), who appeared in 11 games last year, will move into the starting role he earned during preseason camp after missing last week's opener with a lower back contusion suffered during a preseason scrimmage. While not a proven pure passer, Zwick is extremely athletic and runs the option well.
"They have a strong offensive backfield," said Pees. "They're patient and they stick with the gameplan until eventually they execute it."
Former Kent Roosevelt High School standout Dwyte Smiley (6-2, 200 pounds), a preseason All-American free safety, anchors a YSU defense that's widely considered the team's strength.
"You'll notice (Smiley). He's an excellent talent and he'll make plays," said Pees. "Overall, defensively they just play sound football and do the things they're coached to do."
The pressure will once again be on the Flashes' offensive line _ especially first-year starting tackles Jason Hupp (6-3, 305-pound sophomore) and Dan Goodspeed (6-6, 281-pound junior) _ to protect quarterback Jose Davis, who spent last Saturday running for his life during the season-opening 56-3 loss at No. 15 Georgia.
"Hupp and Goodspeed played better (against Georgia) as the game went on," said Pees. "This week we're pretty even size-wise, so it will be a good test."
Defensively, the Flashes will seek to control the action up front to keep the Penguins' vaunted running attack in check, while the defensive backs and linebackers will need to contain the potentially lethal option.
A tough assignment, for sure. But unlike last week, it's doable.
"We wanted to get everyone involved last week against Georgia, but our focus now is on winning ballgames," said Pees, who played 12 freshmen and 18 new players overall last week. "We'll play people who can make plays because the only experience you'll get against Youngstown State is beaten if you play guys just to play them."
Notes: Youngstown State leads the series 4-3 after last year's victory,
but Kent has won three in a row at Dix Stadium. The teams have split
four games since renewing the rivalry in 1994, with both squads winning
twice at home. The Penguins won in '94 and '97 and went on to win
national championships in both years, but they failed to make the
playoffs after losing to the Flashes in '95 and '96 ... WFMJ-TV 21
(Youngstown) will broadcast the game live beginning with a pregame show
at 5:30 p.m. ... Davis saw his first action as a collegian a year ago
against the Penguins and threw a 58-yard touchdown pass to tight end
Jason Gavadza. He completed 2-of-4 passes overall for 63 yards ... The
winner of Saturday's game will gain possession of the Schwebel Trophy, a
tradition that was first started in 1988.

If nothing else, Polanski's timing couldn't be better. If you're a Hollywoodist — even a remorseless child-raping Hollywoodist — looking for a boost from your fellow Hollywoodists, what better way to hold on to your Frat House bona fides than to direct a film like this? [emphasis mine]:
[A]s a filmmaker, Roman Polanski is back in a big, big way with THE GHOST WRITER. Adapted by Robert Harris (author of the excellent FATHERLAND and ENIGMA) from his own novel, the film is about a mildly successful non-fiction hack (Ewan McGregor) who lands the plum gig of shaping the memoirs of a recently ousted British Prime Minister (Pierce Brosnan) – who bears a none-too-subtle resemblance to Tony Blair. The opportunity is there for the taking because the PM's former ghost writer washed up dead on a beach somewhere close to Martha's Vineyard. The only downside to the assignment is the PM's potentially unlawful participation in secretly shipping British citizens/suspected terrorists off to Guantanamo Bay for the ol' Jack Bauer treatment.
Here are a couple descriptions of the novel upon which the film is based:
Bookmark Magazine: From there, it quickly gains momentum, merging a shrewd indictment of the war in Iraq with a literate, page-turning thriller. Harris, who was once a friend of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, offers a withering, barely disguised attack on Blair's policies and his collusion with the United States in the Middle East.
Publishers Weekly: The stakes rise when Lang [the PM] is accused of war crimes for authorizing the abduction of suspected al-Qaeda terrorists in Pakistan, who then ended up in the CIA's merciless hands.
Sounds as though Ghost Writer is the perfect storm of everything so laughably and maddeningly depraved about the left-wing film industry today. It takes the wrong side in a righteous war — a war we're presently fighting, by the way — and its creator is a fugitive whose anal rape of a thirteen year-old girl (he drugged) hasn't dented his celebrity in the least. No shortage of "stars" lining up to work with him!
A new low from those who make the movies? Pish-posh, it's still morning.
NOTE: This post is in clear violation of the rule that only allows water carrying left-wing film writers to speculate about upcoming films they haven't seen.
UPDATE: Awesomeness in the comments — "Would you rather be a prisoner in Abu Ghraib, or a young girl in Roman Polanski's hot tub?"

ROHNERT PARK -- The Lower Lake Trojans won the day for their coach, Ed Fuchs, even though they didn't win the tournament title on Saturday during the Coastal Mountain Conference Wrestling Championships at Technology High School in Rohnert Park.
Willits and Fort Bragg, the regular-season dual leaders, tied for the tourney title and for first place in the final CMC standings, which take into account dual records as well as the results from the CMC Championships. Lower Lake needed to win the tournament to earn at least a share of the conference title but instead finished third followed by Kelseyville in fourth.
If you think that third-place finish spoiled Fuchs' day, you'd be wrong ... dead wrong.
Lower Lake won five of the 14 weight divisions and finished second in another, both personal records for Fuchs, who is in his seventh season at the school. Weight class champions were fourth-seeded Gabe Freeman at 128 pounds (he broke the school's freshman record for most wins in a season while going 2-0), Dominick Dingess at 147 pounds, Erick Moreno at 154 pounds, Ryan Dahneke at 172 pounds, and William Isaacs at 285 pounds.
Just missing out was John Adair at 134 pounds, a 9-8 loser to Clear Lake's Rick Pierson in the championship match. The Trojans also had a third-place finisher in Weeden Wetmore at 222 pounds.
The top three in each weight class advance to the North Coast Section Championships beginning Friday in Newark.
While the Trojans will be sending one less wrestler to the sectionals than they did a year ago when they had eight qualifiers, it was otherwise a banner day for Fuchs and his squad.
"I've never had more than two win (at the CMC Championships) before this year and I had five in the finals last year," Fuchs said. "I'm going to remember this tournament forever. Our kids were focused all day and I was focused."
How focused?
"A kid from another team told one of my wrestlers (Dahneke) that he (Fuchs) looks mean," Fuchs said with a chuckle. "Ryan told him I wasn't mean and was one of the easiest coaches to get along with. I guess I just looked mean when he saw me."
While five firsts and a second weren't enough to lift the Trojans to the tournament win, Fuchs said that's OK.
"We did everything we could and there is nothing I regret," Fuchs said of the Trojans' performance. "No regrets at all."
Of Lower Lake's weight division champions, Freeman pinned No. 1 seed Zack Sneathen of Upper Lake in the semifinals before beating Tiko Landa of Kelseyville 7-4 in the finals. The two wins push his season record to 30-9, breaking the old school record for most wins by a freshman (28 by Tim Spriet).
Dingess dominated the 147-pound field and didn't allow a point during the tournament. He had a 12-second pin in the finals, a 32-second pin in the quarterfinals, and a 39-second pin in his first-round match.
Moreno, the 154-pound champion, pinned his Fort Bragg opponent in the third round in the finals, that after winning by second-round pin in the semifinals.
Dahneke, the 172-pound champion, prevailed 8-4 over Middletown's Wyatt Jones in the championship match. He also scored an 18-7 victory in the semifinals.
Isaacs, the heavyweight winner, dominated his Willits opponent 16-1 in the finals.
Just missing out at 134 pounds, Adair dropped a 9-8 decision to Clear Lake's Pierson, who was named the tournament's outstanding lightweight, an honor Fuchs said should have gone to Freeman.
"I was surprised he didn't win it," Fuchs said. "I absolutely thought he deserved it. I was surprised when they didn't call his name."
Fuchs wasn't the only happy Lake County coach at Saturday's tournament.
Kelseyville's Rob Brown had six wrestlers finish first, second or third and qualify for the sectionals although five will actually attend -- 184-pound runner-up Hayden Turner decided he won't go, according to Brown.
"It was his decision," Brown said.
Kelseyville had one weight champion -- No. 1 seed Luis Garcia at 108 pounds -- and three second-place finishers in Turner, Landa at 128 pounds, and Juan Flores at 122 pounds. The Knights also came home with a pair of third-place medals -- Alfonso Reyes at 140 pounds and Steve Williams in the heavyweight division.
"I was realistically counting on four (to make it to section) and one of the guys I thought would make it had to drop out (with an injury)," Brown said of Eugene Mitchell.
Mitchell, a 154 pounder, had to injury default in the semifinals.
Garcia's championship was the highlight of the day for the Knights, according to Brown.
"It was really a big deal for him," Brown said. "He beat a kid from Willits (in the championship match). It was 10-3 and he was dominating from the beginning."
When he first took over the Kelseyville program, Brown said he was excited to get one wrestler through to the sectional meet.
"We took three last year, so we doubled that this year," Brown said. "I'm very happy with that."
Clear Lake
Clear Lake had three wrestlers reach their weight class championship matches and two -- Pierson at 134 pounds and Julian Lewis at 222 pounds -- claimed first-place medals. Lewis also earned MVP heavyweight honors.
In addition to his win over Lower Lake's Adair in the 134-pound championship match, Pierson pinned Roger Chevelier of Technology High School in a first-round match and beat Arthur Wilkie of Upper Lake 13-7 in the semifinals.
Lewis pinned Lower Lake's Wetmore in the second round of the 222-pound semifinals before pinning Octavio Diaz of Willits in the second round of their championship match.
Nathan Powers, Clear Lake's veteran 162-pounder, lost to Fort Bragg's Ricky Cavender in the championship match. Cavender was named the outstanding middleweight.
Upper Lake
Tony Lopez won the 122-pound championship to highlight Upper Lake's day on the mats. While the Cougars didn't have another top-three finisher, two of their fourth-place wrestlers -- Sneathen at 128 pounds and Abel Serrano at 184 pounds -- were still selected to participate in the sectional tournament.
Middletown will send two wrestlers to the sectional tournament. Besides runner-up Jones at 172 pounds, Marlon Salonga claimed third place at 115 pounds.
"We were thrilled with that," Middletown coach Brian Hunt said of the runner-up finish by Jones, a sophomore, at 172 pounds.
Jones defeated the No. 2 seed from Willits, a wrestler he had lost to twice by decision earlier in the season, to reach the finals opposite Dahneke. In fact, Jones pinned his Willits opponent in the second round.
"He picked the right time to beat him," Hunt said. "Wyatt just had a great match."
Salonga, the No. 1 seed at 115 pounds, suffered a loss early in the tournament to the eventual weight division champion, Osvaldo Dagio of Archbishop Hanna of Sonoma. Salonga battled his way back through the consolation bracket to secure a third-place medal and a sectional berth.
"We have two wrestlers going to sections and Jessie Flynn in the (girls') state tournament this weekend," Hunt said. "I'm looking forward to the weekend."
The sectional tournament this coming weekend in Newark is the qualifier for the CIF State Championships the following weekend in Bakersfield. The top three wrestlers in each weight class advance to state. Among Lake County wrestlers, the highest section seed is Lower Lake's Dingess at No. 3. Other seeded wrestlers are Lower Lake's Isaacs (No. 4) and Moreno (No. 5), and Upper Lake's Lopez (No. 5). Receiving No. 9 provisional seeds were Clear Lake's Powers and Lewis.

Hi there, I am setting up a 2 node database cluster (Master/standby) on pgsql 9.1 and it looks to me that drdb option could be easier to maintain & keep running after several failovers on a row, specially because after a failover operation it is not too friendly to set back up automatically the former primary as the new standby. Besides I would not like to automate an rsync over the same data directory as it could be destroyed by a 'wrong' syncing . Any comments are welcome ! Thanks in advance, A.A.

Adrian Sutil says he has done what he can to try and secure the second seat with Force India on the back of his return to action at Catalunya

Adrian Sutil says he has done all he can to try and secure a return to the F1 grid after spending a day on track with Force India on Thursday.
More than 450 days after he last got behind the wheel of an F1 machine, the German reappeared for his former team on the penultimate day of the first Catalunya test, completing 78 laps and posting the eighth quickest time.
Sutil will now hope that he earns the chance to return to a race seat alongside Paul di Resta, although he faces competition from test driver Jules Bianchi, who takes over for the final day today [Friday].
Deputy team principal Bob Fernley had insisted that the team 'wasn't rushing to make a decision' over who will partner di Resta but Sutil said he felt he had done all he could.
"I've done everything I can do to get my comeback, now it's up to them to decide," he told reporters in Barcelona. "They know me better than any other team here. I spent six years with the team and they know my performance. I think it was obvious today that I can show I am still quick and that was very important."
The German added that there were other factors aside from performance on track that would ultimately play a part in the decision making process before the second driver is confirmed.
"It has to be something else otherwise they would have confirmed a driver in plenty of time for the first test," he continued. "It can't take long anymore as in three weeks there is a race but for me, the most important thing was to deliver a performance.
"I have done my part and had a good day. I can sleep without any worries."

Chalfont St Giles, United Kingdom, 2012/06/11 - Research Collaboration With Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) to Improve Understanding of the Causes and Diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease and Develop More Effective Disease Management Tools (NYSE: GE). NYSE: GE
GE Healthcare today announced a collaboration with Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) involving its investigational PET imaging agent [18F flutemetamol].
Under the CSIRO agreement, GE Healthcare will provide its investigational imaging agent to the Australian governmental agency for use in the Australian Imaging, Biomarker & Lifestyle Flagship Study of Ageing (AIBL), which seeks to discover which biomarkers, cognitive characteristics, and health and lifestyle factors may determine subsequent development of symptomatic Alzheimers disease.
This collaboration is a part of our ongoing effort to understand and help identify Alzheimers disease and the effects of beta amyloid in the brain, said Pascale Witz, CEO of GE Healthcare Medical Diagnostics. This is one of the most significant and expansive studies on the aging population and we are proud to be a part of it.
Beta amyloid plays a fundamental role in the development of Alzheimers disease, said Professor Christopher Rowe, lead investigator for imaging in the AIBL study. It is critical that we are able to identify subjects with beta amyloid accumulation so that we are able to study its effects on the brain, but specifically its effects on subjects with no or very mild symptoms. GE Healthcares involvement in AIBL means that we are able to extend the cohort that gets this type of test.
GE Healthcare offers a broad portfolio of imaging resources that support accurate visualization of the signs of neurodegenerative diseases via state-of-the-art scanners, including MRI, PET, and CT which deliver clear visualization of the brain. More specifically, our portfolio today includes cyclotrons and chemistry systems to manufacture PET imaging agents; PET and MR scanners to scan patients; and image analysis software to interpret the results. GE Healthcare is also partnering with pharma to identify a biosignature, or a biological indicator, which may help physicians diagnose Alzheimers disease prior to the onset of clinical symptoms.
GE Healthcare has also been a key contributor to the Alzheimers Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) since its inception. GE Healthcare also plays a key role in PredictAD, an EU-funded research project to develop solutions to enable earlier diagnosis of AD, and the Coalition Against Major Diseases (CAMD).

DesperatelyI've never had much luck in relationships. Most guys I've dated have cheated and lied and had kids on the side. I want something different and real. I want to have a real relationship where I'm with a man who wants me for who I am, not because he wants to get in my pants. I want to feel an overwhelming love for someone who feels the same way. It doesn't need to be anything big, just real. I want a real relationship with someone I can confide my fears and hopes and not have to worry about how I look in front of them. I want to be respected and cared for. I want love.
Helloooo, I think everyone needs to meet a person to talk about silly and stupid things and to share many thoughts. I'm a very happy Spanish guy who likes to spend much time talking about anything and doing many things. Where do you live? I live in England. Feel free to add me on skype if you want to talk ok? skype id: spanishlearningenglish
the need of every human is a spiritual need of feeling to become one ..to feel whole...to return to paradise, to heaven, to the world of where we originate...the realm of the absolute..the problem is that being a female or a male we try to find oneness in the physical world...but we can never find this as the glimpses of heaven in a romantic and sexual relationship is always fleeting...it is tantalizing..

the key to overcoming this is to become the one that you would the other one to be...life can and is always experienced at this moment and always inside of you...(it maybe too much of snapshot but there is more behind this post)
We all want the same thing. First have a friend, remember to play and just have fun. Guys want the same thing too. I think everyone gets so caught up in "finding love" that they over look the person standing right infront of them.
hi wats ur name? can we friends
never give up on this, it's just the time hasn't come yet, and yours man will find you eventually. But never really compare real love with that one shown in movies, so you won't get disappointed.. Yes, it's possible, but maybe not to that glamorous extent

And also I want to add that sometimes we don't really want to fall in love instead we just need to fill the emptiness inside that eats us.. But it doesn't always work.. One should be happy by himself to attract somebody and be able to make other person happy
I am having similar problems but of course with females. It's so depressing that I've just about given up on ever finding anything real. I remember when romantic movies and books used to really touch me, but I feel like love is as real as the cgi in movies, it's like a fantasy and not a reality to me anymore.
@BBella OMG Im the saaaame way I watch all those movies and I feel like someone had to know what that feels like to write about it right? Then if that is real I want it sooooo bad for someone to love me that much!!!!!!!
Oh my god I want this sooo much too! A real genuine love (like in the notebook movie) I want it sooo bad!!!
Do yourself a favor and find a male who is your friend first. And I mean real friend. If he can hold your hair back while your puking and make it not a big deal, he's your friend.

First week of fall — full of so many things to do
Miramar air show, Poway rodeo, Pacific Islander fest, star party, Julian apple days, Carole King music, Trial by Jury, school choice debate
11:30 a.m., Sept. 20
"Beer + Boobies = Brewbies," clarifies the invite to the Brewbies Festival
This is the fourth year Pizza Port Carlsbad (571 Carlsbad Village Drive) is to hold their Brewbies Festival, which benefits Keep A Breast Foundation.
Keep A Breast Foundation is a non-profit breast cancer organization focused on prevention through education and 100% of the festival's proceeds will be donated to support their cause.
Adhering to the normal beer fest set-up, local and regional breweries are housed in separate booths selling tasters of their handcrafted brews and chatting with festival-goers about, well, beer.
A few breweries to be present include, but definitely not limited to:
Ballast Point
Sierra Nevada
Big Dogs
Pizza Port
Lost Abbey
Upping the ante, Pizza Port has once again brewed a special pink-colored beer specifically for this event.
Held in previous years on one perpetually sold-out five-hour Saturday afternoon session, another five-hour Friday night session was added this year to accommodate the long lines of people seen last year hoping to get into the sold-out event.
Last year's event raised over $20,000 for Keep A Breast, so with the inclusion of a second session the promise of raising much more this year is a serious reality.
Presale for the Saturday, Feb 9 session at 12 p.m. is already sold out and there are less than 100 tickets available for the Friday, Feb 8 session at 5 p.m.
With this is mind, purchasing your tickets for the Friday evening session in advance for $25 is highly recommended.
A limited number of tickets will be available for $30 at the door but there are "no guarantees".
Admission price gets you a custom Brewbies pint glass, an "I Heart Boobies" wristband, one raffle ticket, and six 6-ounce tasters.
Additional tasters and raffle tickets will be available for $1.
Past raffle prizes have included goodies from Electra Bike, Flow Snowboards, O'Neill and Otter Box so chances are the raffle will be well-stocked with quality donated goods this year as well.
The event is rain or shine and as Pizza Port posted on their Facebook page "the beer will keep you warm but not dry… so bring a raincoat just in case."

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
Hexham, Northumberland, United Kingdom, 2006/11/09 - Buckingham Palace today confirmed that Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall are to visit Dunterly Farm, the home of Kielder Organic Meats and the pioneering Anderson family.
The Royal couple will be given a personal guided tour of the farm by Colin and Michelle Anderson and will then be taking tea with them in their farmhouse kitchen.
Colin and Michelle Anderson have been changing to be fully organic over the last four years. The organic process is now complete with full Soil Association approval. Since becoming fully organic Dunterly has been a runaway success.
This is already their second meeting with the Royal Family. Earlier in the year they were invited with their daughter, Tracy, to a garden party at Buckingham Palace and were specially selected to meet with Prince Philip and Prince Edward and had a lengthy conversation with them about the way they farm.
Dunterly has its own Farm Shop, situated in the farmyard, selling the farms own organic lamb, beef, pork and eggs alongside locally grown vegetables and local produce. Works on a bakery and coffee shop on the farm will start in 2007. Visitors will be able to see a working farm in operation as they sip coffee and buy their produce. Colin and Michelle are great believers in letting their customers see how all the food is produced and always happy to let people have a trip around the farm.
Jamie Oliver has been a huge influence on the couple who are now organising school visits to the farm to enable urban children to see just where healthy food comes from. A plan to send food to the urban schools, for the pupils to cook and serve to their teachers and parents, is underway. As Colin and Michelle say We are happy to invest in these kids as we see them as our future customers.
As Colin and Michelle tend to the livestock they have observed that they are also helping to protect wildlife habitats - now they see twice as many song birds, curlews, lapwings and grouse sharing the pastures with their stock. They feed the animals food grown on their own land, peas barley and oats - all completely natural.
Kielder Organic Meats (kielderorganicmeats.co.uk) is owned and operated by Colin and Michelle Anderson, their farm, Dunterly, is situated at Dunterly, Bellingham, Northumberland, nestling in the North Tyne Valley where the livestock grazes around the very picturesque Kielder Water and on the banks of the Tyne. Kielder was named as one of the least polluted areas in the country by Country Life Magazine, which assessed the impact of air, noise and light pollution.

CAPITOLA - The owner of the vacant building that formerly housed Gottschalks department store put the property on the market Monday for sale or lease.
Offers for the 107,248-square-foot building at 1825 41st Ave. in the Capitola Mall are due June 11.
The property is the largest retail offering of its kind in the Santa Cruz market, according to listing agent CB Richard Ellis, calling it "a rare opportunity" in a market with strong demographics. The mall has more than 100 specialty stores plus anchors Macy's, Sears and Kohl's on a street with a traffic count averaging 45,800 a day.
But the market has softened in the recession. A half-dozen office buildings on 41st Avenue have space available, and a newly built warehouse on Kennedy Drive hasn't had takers.
Gottschalks closed last July after the 104-year-old regional department store chain chain filed for bankruptcy.
Now former chairman Joe Levy, 78, who spent 43 years with Gottschalks, wants to revive the family business started by his great-aunt's husband.
He's raising money to reopen the former Gottschalks store in Sierra Vista Mall in Clovis as "Gottschalk by Joe Levy Inc." That space has been vacant since July.
"We're looking at all the former Gottschalks locations," said Robert Wiser, president and chief executive officer of Gottschalk by Joe Levy, noting Capitola was not one of the three initial locations identified by the new company.
Wiser, formerly a vice president for the old Gottschalks, added, "Capitola was a good store (for Gottschalks) until Macy's came in. That cut profitability in half."
Mayor Sam Storey welcomed Monday's announcement.
"The city is pleased to see this space being marketed," he said. "We know that a major chain such as Target will find that this is a great location to do business."
Capitola planning commissioner Michael Termini added, "First choice is Target, but, barring that, how about a Nordstrom Rack?"
Target officials haven't publicly expressed interest.
Meanwhile Craig French of Redtree Properties is negotiating with a "national brand soft goods retailer" for the former Circuit City store just beyond the Capitola city limit. He said he couldn't name the company, but noted the space has been rented temporarily to a promotional firm.
Circuit City closed over a year ago after the national electronics retailer was unable to emerge from bankruptcy.
