On consumer issues:
The government says it will:
–Reduce cellphone roaming costs; force cable networks to unbundle channels to give consumers more choice; continue to expand high-speed broadband;
–Protect consumers from paying more to receive paper bills instead of electronic ones, and from paying more for basic banking services;
–End geographic discrimination against Canadians, a reference to paying more for goods in Canada than in the United States.
–Canadians will soon be able to take alcohol across provincial boundaries for personal use.
On crime and justice issues:
The government will:
–Keep those convicted to a life sentence in prison for life;
–Introduce its much-promised cyberbulling legislation;
–Punish those who kill emergency responder service animals;
–Protect Canadians from discrimination by employers and insurance companies based on genetic testing.
On transportation:

On Canadian values and history:
The government will:
–Continue the search for the remains of the Franklin expedition in Canada's North;
–Grant honorary Canadian citizenship to Pakistani teenager Malala Yousafzai, the 16-year-old who was targeted for attack by the Taliban.
Kirsten Smith, Postmedia News
I am trying to think of the appropriate football metaphor. The government is, let us say, a touchdown behind. It is on its own 30 yard line, and while there is plenty of time still to play, it has had noticeable lack of success in moving the ball of late.
What play does it call? A "Hail Mary" pass? An end around, outflanking its opponents to the right or left? A hard charge up the centre? If you watched this Throne Speech, you'd have to say the quarterback took a knee. It's the sort of thing you do late in the game when you're protecting a lead and simply want to ensure you do not lose possession. Or, perhaps, when you can't think what else to do.
This was an oddly safe, almost inert speech. If you didn't know better, you'd think the party thought it was protecting a lead. But they can't possibly be that out of touch: they can read the polls (the latest of which, from Ekos, puts them one point out of third. Third.)
Rather, it seems designed to shore up support among the Tory base. This is not entirely misguided: with support down to the high 20s, the base is pretty much all they have left. With a convention coming at the end of the month, what is more, they will surely have wanted to head off some pointed questions about the party's evident drift and confusion, its seeming inability to define what it wants to do with the majority it so long coveted. And they will know that the Liberals under Justin Trudeau are taking dead aim at the sort of centre-right, fiscal conservatives — soft Tories — that were a crucial part of the Chrétien majorities.
So: protect the base is the unspoken through-line in this speech. Much of it is given over to a nostalgic review of some of the party's greatest hits of the last few years. Remember when we bust up the Wheat Board? Who can forget the long-gun registry? Where were you when we "took money from bureaucrats and lobbyists and gave it to the real experts on child-care: mom and dad." That was in 2006, but here we are in 2013 offering it up as evidence of the party's fresh new thinking. Even the rhetoric is recycled.
I don't want to say there's nothing in it. There is some significant firming up of fiscal policy, for example. The proposed balanced budget law is perhaps of more symbolic import than real, but it can't hurt (especially as it would appear to allow for deficits in a crisis, requiring only "concrete timelines" for getting the books back in balance).
But a freeze on overall operating spending — take a bow, Maxime Bernier! — could well be serious, depending on how long it is intended to last, and whether we are talking nominal dollars or real (i.e., inflation-adjusted). The brief nod to privatization ("Our Government will review federal assets; when it is in the best interest of Canadians, they will be sold") may or may not presage something.
The base will no doubt also be pleased to hear that a free trade deal with Europe is at hand — though we have heard this so often it is hard not to remain skeptical. As dispiriting as it is to hear how little the government was prepared to give way on opening the supply managed sectors — the reported "concessions" on imported cheese amount to less than a kilogram per Canadian per year — this would still be a major achievement.
If the government can build on that success in the next couple of years with respect to the Trans Pacific Partnership and other negotiating partners, it will have earned the right to boast, as it does here, of having "the most ambitious trade agenda in Canadian history." If not, it will just be the most boastful.
About the only other thing that sounded new was the conciliatory, even contrite tone on resource development and the environment, notably on pipelines and the need to "protect our oceans and coasts." No prizes for guessing what's that about.
The Tories know they overplayed their hand with regard to the Northern Gateway. On a file in which they would have been well advised to sound greener than the Greens, they went out of their way to antagonize environmentalists and seemed to threaten the independence of the National Energy Board. They seem now to be trying to repair the damage; we will see if it is enough.
The thinnest part of the package, at least relative to the expectations, was the consumer-protection chapter, the source of so much pre-Speech leaking. Give thanks for small favours. If the Tories were serious about putting "consumers first" — if they were bent on, for example, opening the telecoms, airline and financial services to foreign competition in a big way, as recommended by the Red Wilson report and countless economists before and since — it would be a revolution.
But prohibiting extra charges on paper bills? Cracking down on "predatory payday lenders"? Yawn. Even the unbundling of cable television channels, while on balance welcome, is about 20 years too late, arriving as it does just as channels themselves are about to disappear. The bit about prohibiting differential prices between the U.S. and Canada, on the other hand, is simply bananas. (Prices vary from one part of town to the other. Why should they be the same between countries? At what exchange rate? What happens if it changes?)
And the rest? The usual vow to "support" and "protect" every industry under the sun, plus a few under the earth. That mad military-industrial strategy is still there. A lot of boilerplate about the north and our proud history. Perhaps the base will be pleased. The Tories had better hope.

Why The 'X-Men' Rights Should Never Go Back To Marvel
With the mixed reactions coming in from critics over X-Men: Apocalypse, there's been a fairly vocal amount of people who reckon the X-Men would be in better hands if Disney/Marvel were to get their hands on the mutant team. There's been a misconception that the critics were panning the film thanks to all the headlines about Rotten Tomoatoes? Well, if you actually read around on reviews, or even check the average score on RT itself, you'll find that it has a lot of fans among the critics, and a lot of people who weren't taken with it.Anyway, petty irritation with attitudes towards critics aside, I am severely against the X-Men joining the Avengers. Not because I don't want the Avengers and X-Men to team up, that could be awesome, but if it ever does happen, I want it to be a one off. Here's why:
1) Marvel Monopoly
Marvel is great, and they make good stuff. Having said that, competition is healthy for any market, and there sure isn't anything competitive coming from DC if the box office is anything to go on. So I think if we start just handing everything back to Disney/Marvel, then what need is there for Marvel to ever innovate, up their game, or do anything different. For us to keep getting the best quality superhero films, someone needs to give us quality films to rival what Marvel do. Thanks to Deadpool and Days of Future Past, it looks like Fox may well be able to, so why would we let Marvel absorb them?2) The X-Men Are Better Than Ever
I'm not a big fan of the first couple of X-Men films. I appreciate the significance of their impact on the genre, but I don't care much for them. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed First Class, Days of Future Past, and Deadpool. If you ask me, those are by far the best three of this series by a country mile. So even if Apocalypse isn't great (I haven't seen it yet), then I'm willing to give it a pass because we're going to get another Deadpool, and X-Force, and probably a couple more films with Michael Fassbender as Magneto, all of which I am completely up for.3) Separate Universes
Say Fox ignores my last two very well developed points and hands Marvel the X-Men back in return for some magic spell that allows them to make a decent Fantastic 4 movie. Then we've got to find a way of merging these two, very separate, universes into a single one. The only way I can think of doing this is to have them exist in alternate universes to each other, or to completely reboot the X-Men universe. But we already had what was essentially a reboot of the X-Men universe, as well as a feature length ret-con, so I really don't want to have to go through all that again. When you have an established series like the X-Men, it would just be detrimental to both that world and the MCU to try and bring them together.Wrapping Up…
Thanks for reading you wondrous toss-buckets. If you have an opinion on what should happen with the X-Men next, feel completely free to just get lost. Alternatively you can comment below if you want. But you don't have to, we already got your page view.

Molecular-dynamics simulations of stress relaxation have been performed for metals and polymers. A method that employs coupling between the simulation cell and an applied stress as well as an external thermal bath has been used. Two-dimensional models of the materials are defined with interactions described by the Lennard-Jones (mie 6-12) and harmonic potentials. A special method is employed to generate chains in dense polymeric systems. In agreement with experiments, simulated stress-relaxation curves are similar for metals and polymers. At the same time, there exists an essential difference in the stress-strain behavior of the two kinds of simulated materials. During the relaxation, trajectories of the particles in different materials display a common feature:there exist domains in which movement of the particles is highly correlated. Thus, the simulation results support the cooperative theory of stree relaxation.

Employment Law Questions? Ask an Employment Lawyer.
Hello I am a licensed attorney here to help you with your question, please review my response and do not hesitate to ask for clarification
Were you receiving a w2 prior?
Paying you cash, is a violation of IRS and State tax laws,
as your employer will not be paying you the State and Federal payrol taxes,
if you were paid a w2 prior to this,
and they now a cutting you a check,
you can complaint to the IRS or the State labor board,
if you do file a complaint, you may have to pay some of the money received
as you would have to pay your share of payroll taxes,
they wrote me a check. but I didnt recieve a pay stub so how would I know if they took the right amount out for taxes?
was anything taken out?
You would have to look at past paychecks,
you should receive a statement,
are they allowed to just give me a personalized check and not my pay stub?
their is no way to know, unless they provide you the statement
not unless you are a contractor,
if you are an employee you receive a w2, with all the deductions listed,
If I was to file a complaint on them and they tried saying that thwey never took any of my taxes out how would I go about proving that if I didnt recieve a pay stub? this is not the first time that I have got a check and my hours were not correct
they have to prove it not you,
what state are you in?
you can file a wage complaint above,
You can mention that you have not received proper pay checks either,
and you have no proof of what deductions were taken out
Okay! thank you for the help. I was slightly confused on the payment thing.. I am only going to be charged that one time correct?

In a victory for open government, the Florida Supreme Court has rejected an effort to put courtroom electronic recordings out of reach of the public. The ruling largely settles an ongoing dispute over whether these recordings should be available as a public record.
The high court was asked to adopt an administrative rule change for the entire state court system that would have limited the scope of a public record to only written transcripts of courtroom trials and hearings. Audio recordings of court proceedings could have been held back at the discretion of the trial court or chief judge. While opposed by the state's public defenders, the proposed rule was supported by the Commission on Trial Court Performance and Accountability, the Florida Bar and Robert Morris, then-chief judge of the Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Court.
Morris, now an appellate judge, was interested because the proposed rule mirrored one adopted in the Pinellas-Pasco circuit courts when Judge David Demers was chief judge.
But earlier this month, the Supreme Court unanimously refused to adopt the rule. The court said it would be contrary to Florida's policy of government-in-the-sunshine and the court's "longstanding presumption in favor of openness." Florida courts increasingly rely on electronic recordings of proceedings, a process the high court found to be "useful, reliable, efficient and cost-effective." Easy public access to the recordings helps keep state courts accountable.
Regarding the concern that confidential attorney-client conversations may be captured by the recordings, the court put the responsibility on courtroom participants to safeguard against such slips after being notified. And it adopted a rule directing attorneys to take proper precautions against disclosures, including muting microphones when needed.
The decision means that Pinellas-Pasco circuit courts will have to make audio recordings available like other court-generated public records.
Audio recordings are particularly valuable since they are often available within hours of a hearing. A written transcript can take much longer to obtain. Having a person's voice recorded also provides a truer account of the proceedings, allowing a listener to hear vocal nuances of lawyers and witnesses. Limiting access to these recordings would have damaged the media's ability to quickly and accurately report on cases of public interest. The Florida Supreme Court performed a public service and reaffirmed the value of open government by ensuring these recordings are public record.

This application is a continuation-in-part to U.S. application Ser. No. 10/461,932, filed Jun. 13, 2003, entitled "Method and Device for Detecting Computer Network Intrusions". This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/388,619, filed Jun. 17, 2002, and which is incorporated herein by reference.
This invention relates to computer security and particularly to computer intrusion detection whereby access to a target server is monitored.
Computer networks typically include a server computer ("server") and a plurality of client computers ("clients") coupled to permit access by clients to resources on the server. Security of servers on the Internet and other insecure networks is a major concern. Configuration errors and bugs in widely used proprietary and open source software packages allow attackers to enter and gain control of servers. The attackers can then steal proprietary information, destroy the information, or even destroy the file system of the server, rendering it useless. Even worse, attackers can surreptitiously alter the server's system so that they have ongoing control over it. Once an attacker has established ongoing control over a server's system, they can use it to capture sensitive information or to attack other machines on the network. If the attacker's intrusions go undetected, the damage potential is virtually unlimited. Thus, it is desirable to detect intrusions in a timely manner. Preferably such intrusions should be prevented.
Some previous approaches to detecting network intrusion by an attacker have attempted to detect changes in the running system's file system or behavior. For example, the open source Tripwire system computes a hash of the contents of specified system files and stores the hashes of the system files in a database. Then, periodically or on command, the Tripwire system computes the hash values of the files and compares these recomputed values to the database values. If a difference is found, it implies a change to the system files. Assuming no authorized changes have occurred to the system files, changed hash values indicate an intrusion has occurred. Other intrusion detection tools try to discover file system changes by inspecting file modification dates.
The above described intrusion detection systems are vulnerable to defeat by an attacker because the information that is used to infer changes is stored locally on the compromised system. Thus, the attacker can alter the stored information to defeat the detection technique. For example, a common technique used by attackers to avoid intrusion detection is to install a "root kit." The root kit includes an altered set of commands (such as a directory listing command that fails to display the correct alteration dates of system command files) that mask the actions of the attacker while allowing the attacker unfettered access to the server.
Another common intrusion detection approach attempts to detect abnormal network traffic patterns emanating from the server. While this can work if the normal traffic patterns are well enough defined and different from the traffic pattern an attacker may wish to exploit, these are stringent conditions and do not apply in many cases. In particular, a prudent attacker can generate traffic patterns into which the malicious traffic is then embedded as a small "noise" signal. Finally, these are unlikely to counter the problem of the attacker stealing or destroying the sensitive information on the server itself.
The disclosed method for computer network intrusion detection is implemented on a computer network including a target server, a client on the network and a monitoring server coupled to the target server. The target server is accessible by a client on the network and administered by a system administrator capable of authorizing attempts to execute software on the target server. The method comprising the steps of loading monitored latent software on the target server and monitoring. Attempts to execute monitored latent software on the target server from the client are received and it is determined whether the attempt to execute the monitored latent software by the client is authorized prior to completely executing the monitored latent software. A message is sent to the system administrator and the execution of the monitored latent software is aborted prior to completion when the attempt to execute the monitored latent software is not authorized.
Another disclosed method for computer network intrusion detection is implemented on a computer network including a target server and a monitoring server. The target server is accessible by a plurality of clients on the network and administered by a system administrator capable of authorizing attempts by a client on the network to execute software on the target server. The method includes distinguishing between active software and latent software resident on the target server and permitting attempts to execute active software on the target server by any of the plurality of clients. A client of the plurality of clients is authorized to attempt to execute latent software on the target server thereby defining an authorized client. Attempts to execute latent software on the target server are received from a client of the plurality of clients thereby defining an attempting client. It is determined whether the attempting client is the authorized client prior to completely executing the latent software on the target server. When the attempting client is not the authorized client, a message is sent to the system administrator and execution of the monitored latent software is aborted prior to completion.
A disclosed computer system administered by a system administrator and accessible by a client on an external network includes a target server coupled to the external network and configured to receive connections from the client and to receive requests from the client to execute software thereon, an interface with the system administrator and a monitoring server coupled to the target server but not directly accessible on the external network by the client. The monitoring server has authorization data resident thereon and administration software accessible through the interface for administering the authorization data. The said target server includes software resident thereon having an authorization subroutine for sending a query to the monitoring server indicating that the client is requesting to execute the software and receiving a response from the monitoring server indicating that the client is authorized to execute the software prior to successfully completing execution of the software for the client. The monitoring server includes a subroutine thereon for receiving the query from the target machine, accessing the authorization data to determine whether the client is authorized to execute the software on the target machine, sending a response to the target machine indicating that the client is authorized to execute the software or the client is not authorized to execute the software, and sending a message through the interface to the system administrator if the client is not authorized to execute the software.
Additional features and advantages of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the following detailed description of illustrated embodiments exemplifying the best mode of carrying out the invention as presently perceived.
The detailed description particularly refers to the accompanying drawings in which:
As shown, for example, in
Network servers typically include a well defined set of software accessible by network clients that is designed to be running on the server at a typical instant. Often such a server computer is designed to operate autonomously, carrying out a few well-known tasks, such as web service, electronic mail service, printer service and file service. This well-known task software is referred to herein as the "active" software. Other software on the server, such as an administration command or a secure remote login daemon is not intended to be used during normal operation. This second class of software is referred to herein as the "latent" software.
Software can be further classified by how it is activated or used. A "command" is a software component that is executed by a user from some interface, typically via a "command shell" such as DOS or UNIX, accessed either locally from the machine's console or remotely through a remote login service. Typically, as shown, for example, in
Referring to
As shown in
Illustratively, during a second attempt to execute latent software 46 on target server 22, authorized client 34 invokes latent software "D". Since the invocation of latent software "D" 46 is received from authorized client 34 prior to time t2 42, the above described authorization process is repeated and authorized client 34 receives the results 54 of the latent software "D" execution.
However, if authorized client 34 invokes latent software on target server 22 prior to time t1 (not shown) or after time t2, i.e. outside the defined interval, monitoring server 26 will send a "no" response 58 to the authorization query 48 and target server 22 will abort execution of the latent software before completion. An appropriate failure message 56 is sent to authorized server 34. It is within the scope of the disclosure to not notify the client when authorization has been denied. Also, upon receipt of an authorization query 48 outside of the defined interval, monitoring server 26 sends an alert message 60 to administrator 24. It is within the scope of the disclosure for authorization software on monitoring server 26 to send a query to administrator 24 each time an authorization query 48 is received from target server 22 and await a response from administrator 24 prior to sending a "yes" or "no" response to target server 22.
As shown, for example, in
In the illustrated embodiment of
A plurality of client including attacker client 32 and authorized client 34 are on the network 28 and may connect through the network to target servers 22, 122. Clients 32, 34 are restricted from directly connecting to monitoring server 26.
As shown, for example, in
Administrative web program 18 is used to manage permissions database 78 on monitoring server 26. Monitoring server 26 maintains a database of permission information 78. This information governs the access policy for the monitored servers. Essentially, it records under what circumstances (time, command name, host) a command (or daemon) may be executed. For example, it might say 'From 1800-1900 hours host foobar.x.com may execute any command', 'Host frobboz.y.com may not execute any commands.', etc.
Permission database 78 is illustratively maintained by authorized administrator 24 via a web-based application. The web-based application resident on the administrator's PC 62 allows authenticated and private access by a controlling administrator 24, with controls allowing granting or denying permissions at particular time ranges, on particular hosts. One embodiment of the web-based application is the Apache web server (www.apache.org) using Java servlet technology. The web-based application might also have controls for arranging for logging of permission requests, notification via phone, email, or pager when unauthorized permission requests are received. This web-based application may be implemented using techniques well known to web implementers skilled in the art. It is within the scope of the disclosure for more detailed options to vary the basic scheme. For example, the permissions could further depend upon the identity of the person accessing the monitored server, based upon a special authentication command available on the monitored server.
As shown, for example, in
Illustratively, query 48 includes information that is entered into a log 90 on monitoring server 26. This information is then used to check a permissions database 92. The monitoring server 26 then determines if the data in the permissions database indicates that access to the latent software is authorized 94. If so, monitoring server 26 prepares an "OK" message 96 and sends an "OK" authorization response 50 to the process on target server 22. If the data in the permissions database indicates that access to the latent software is not authorized, monitoring computer 26 notifies 100 the system administrator 24 of an unauthorized attempt to execute latent software on target server 22 and prepares 98 and sends a "No" response 58 to the process on target server 22.
Upon receipt of a response 50, 58 from monitoring server 26, or upon expiration of the wait period, the process on target server 22 continues and determines if an "OK" authorization response was received 102. If so, the timer is started 104 and execution of the latent software is allowed to continue to completion. If a "no" response was received from the monitoring computer 26, or the wait period expired prior to receiving a response, the latent software aborts execution 106.
Daemons are a first type of latent software on target server 22 that are altered to include authorization and notification algorithm 80. As shown for example, in
To protect a daemon so as to implement a monitored daemon 300, it is necessary to alter the daemons code to call the secure query/response software 80 prior to servicing a request 210, as shown, for example, in
Commands 400 are a second type of latent software on target server 22 that are altered to include authorization and notification algorithm 80. An unaltered command 400 is immediately executed 402 once an invocation call 404 is received. As shown in
Under Linux, the "ls" command is typically stored in a well-known standard location 112 on the file system 114, such as ("/bin/ls") as shown, for example, in
Since the disclosed intrusion detection method protects only the latent software 300, 500 portions 302, 304 of which are on target server 22, an attack based solely on executing active software 74 on target server 22 will initially appear to evade the technique. However, most attacks, while possibly exploiting weaknesses in active software 74 to initiate, require the use of latent software 300, 500 to obtain useful (to the attacker) results. A typical scenario is for an attacker to use a buffer overflow in a web server to obtain a root command shell. However, the attacker, even after obtaining the root command shell cannot do anything useful without executing latent commands 300, 500, such as file transfer, directory listing, or file contents display.
In the embodiments of latent software 300, 500 illustrated in
Of course there are many variations to method 20 shown in
In another variation of method 20, monitoring server 26 can have a log database 76 for logging all queries 48 it receives as shown, for example, in
As shown, for example, in
The secure queries 48 and responses 50, 58 illustrated in
While the invention has been illustrated and described in detail in the drawings and foregoing description, such illustration and description is to be considered as exemplary and not restrictive in character, it being understood that only the preferred embodiment has been shown and described and that all changes and modifications that come within the spirit of the invention are desired to be protected. For example, while the present invention has been described in regards to a disclosed operating system, features of the present invention may implemented in other operating systems environment.

It's time to celebrate that with a big party where we take a look at the latest and greatest games from the Vancouver scene.
"Vancouver is right in the mix in terms of innovating, developing, and influencing the next phase of gaming." -- Elliot Chan, TechVibes

We're taking over the basement with game demo booths and will have the upstairs for more civil discussion as well.

Prominent economists have been expounding for months on the dire consequences of this country's unemployment crisis. As recently as this May, Dean Baker and Ken Hassett exhorted us to pay vigilant attention. In an op-ed headlined "The Human Disaster," they described unemployment as "nothing short of a national emergency."
Still, the election discussion plods on with barely a nod to the criminal unemployment disaster.
For bracing relief, check out the latest from economist Robert Pollin, professor at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Pollin's latest book, Back To Full Employment, lays out a roadmap to recovery that wouldn't take a miracle. It wouldn't even require a Democratic sweep this November; merely action by the Fed and a progressive movement worth its salt.

elocal Listing Corporate Case Study: Search Visionaries1 Jul, 2011 By: Bridget McCrea Response
eLocal Listing helps companies of all sizes harness the power of local search.
"We set up eLocal Listing as a way for local businesses to get found in search engines," says Judd. A primary customer target for the new service was the small to midsized business (SMB) owner who lacked the marketing budget and manpower to compete with Fortune 500 firms operating in the same space.
Seeing an opportunity to help close that gap, and also aid established advertisers in gaining a footing in the local search arena, Judd and his team worked out a two-pronged approach for eLocal Listing. One niche market would be small car dealerships, plumbers, chiropractors and other SMBs, and the other was made up of large insurance firms, medical service providers and other established brands.
The first customer group was a no brainer, but the second was also in need of local search assistance, whether it realized it or not. "Even if you're a national brand with 700 locations across the country, every one of those locations is a local entity as far as search is concerned," Judd explains. "Because of this, you have to treat your nationwide marketing campaigns as if they were 700 micro-marketing campaigns."
Opening the Doors
Judd founded eLocal Listing with Ralph Williams, chief financial officer. Williams is responsible for the angel financing used to start the firm, and to "keep it financially stable," says Judd. Early on, the pair took a self-service approach to local search, working with newspaper publishers to try to drum up interest in their new concept.
They quickly realized that a different tack was needed. "Unfortunately, self-service wasn't 'there' in 2007," says Judd. To raise awareness, the duo went for a more proactive approach: They bought a call center and went into direct sales mode. "We started calling small businesses all over the country, and offering them a way to get more clients through search engine visibility," says Judd.
The most difficult aspect of the effort was the fundamental fact that small business owners are marketing novices.
"As clients, SMBs are also fairly expensive to acquire and maintain, with many of them cancelling before you even get a chance to recoup the client acquisition costs," says Judd. Even with those hurdles to jump, eLocal Listing's grassroots, direct-selling approach fueled rapid growth for the firm in 2008 and 2009.
Then the recession hit the local advertising market hard, taking eLocal Listing into the abyss with it. The real estate market took an especially tough tumble, as did home-related services and automobile sales. All three were at or near the top of eLocal Listing's client roster prior to the recession.
"People stopped buying and selling homes, which meant all home-related verticals also took a hit," says Judd. Literally overnight, the two-year-old company's direct sales model became financially unviable. On the bright side, eLocal Listing had been gaining significant traction in the local search market, and was making a name for itself, despite economic conditions.
Tim Judd is a veteran of the search landscape and his work with Ralph Williams on eLocal Listing has pushed local-level advertisers to new heights.
Judd credits the millions of dollars and hundreds of hours of time devoted to eLocal Listing's automated local search platform with helping the firm through the worst parts of the downturn. And unlike many startups that didn't make it through those lean times, his firm has not only endured, but it's now positioned in an online search space that more and more companies are paying attention to.
Today, eLocal Listing puts its effort into creating content centered on specific advertisers, whether it's through customized videos, images or written words that are scribed in an informative, easy-to-understand fashion. Advertisers then take that content and publish it prominently online in order to garner local search results.
Also on eLocal Listing's client roster are the online departments of several large direct response agencies, and in particular, those that have come to recognize search as the most valuable and transactable part of the Internet.
"The agency whose client has 800 locations — and who wants to drive 10 leads per location via local TV, radio, print and online — can either buy the clicks or take the organic route," says Judd. "We prefer the organic route, which is purely direct response; the vast majority of our clients pay us only when the phone rings."
So, unlike the early days when eLocal Listing spent much of its time and money on direct sales to small firms, the company now works with agencies that "hand over baskets full of clients," and all at no customer acquisition cost.
|eLocal Listing is a provider of search-driven lead generation solutions for local businesses.
Shattering the Kaleidoscope
Fragmenting search campaigns geographically takes more work than the typical company is willing to do, says Judd, so many of them continue to stick to the national approach. That's not going to work for long, particularly with customers looking all over the place for buying information. "It's very hard to centralize search efforts," he says. "That's where we come in. By working with large advertisers, we're able to provide search visibility for every one of their locations."
The fact that many of those advertisers are leery of new media methods continues to irk Judd.
"I never cease to be amazed by the Fortune 500 company that comes to us for help, but doesn't want to let us put their video campaigns on YouTube," says Judd. "That's a very short sighted view."
A better view, says Judd, is to get in and get your hands dirty. Support every single physical location with appropriate, local content that's unique and engaging. "Crowd out the competition," he adds, "by using video, Facebook, YouTube and the rest of the tools."
Most importantly, take a modern-day approach to marketing that factors in the knowledge that your market is no longer cohesive and targetable through traditional advertising means.
"Marketing has been shattered into a kaleidoscope of many different components," says Judd. "You can't just buy a few pay-per-clicks, do co-op buying in the Yellow Pages or buy a radio ad and expect to reach your audience. You have to hit it from all angles." ■

Post office raising priority mail rates
Associated Press / November 23, 2011
Text size – +
The cash-strapped US Postal Service is raising rates for its more profitable express mail and priority mail shipping next year, part of its efforts to stave off bankruptcy. The new prices, which take effect Jan. 22, include the introduction of a new flat rate of $39.95 for overnight express mail boxes weighing up to 70 pounds that are sent domestically; the flat rate for express letters is being increased separately to $18.95. Previously, prices for the overnight service were $13.25 or higher based on package weight and distance.

SEAL BEACH - The search for a 24-year old Long Beach man, who went missing Wednesday while swimming with friends, was called off by the U.S. Coast Guard at noon Thursday.
According to reports, Jowayne Binford was last seen at 7 p.m. about 200 yards offshore near the Surfside area of Huntington Beach.
The extensive search included 78 square miles of ocean from Long Beach to Newport Beach and six miles out to sea, Coast Guard spokesman Trent Kelly said.
"We had an impressive initial search last night, but, unfortunately now we're scaled back to a recovery mode," Seal Beach Lifeguard Chief Joe Bailey said Thursday.
Seal Beach lifeguards will continue searching for Binford throughout today as other rescue workers from the Coast Guard and other Orange County agencies scale back, Bailey said.
According to law enforcement reports, four men in their early 20 s entered the water near Anderson Street and Pacific Coast Highway in spite of a high surf advisory scheduled to remain in force until tonight.
After experiencing a strong rip current, the men attempted to get out of the water. Only three of the four returned to shore.
According to Binford's mother, Gail Binford, he is a good swimmer who prefers swimming in pools and rarely swam in the ocean.
Rescue boats from the Long Beach Lifeguards and Orange County Sheriff's Department helped in the search, while shoreline searches were done by Seal Beach Lifeguards and a Huntington Beach Police helicopter. Accuweather.com reports a high surf advisory in effect until 5 p.m. today that may cause hazards for anyone entering the water.
"A continued long-period large southwest swell is likely through Friday in Southern California," Ken Clark, meteorologist with Accuweather.com, said Thursday. "These waves are arriving because of a huge storm that occurred near New Zealand. Episodes like this are not uncommon in Southern California in the summer as big winter storms in the Southern Hemisphere emit these waves."
According to Clark, the Wedge in Orange County is a place notorious for some of the largest waves where surfers and onlookers come to experience and witness the waves.
"Surfers look forward to the big waves, but with the big waves come big dangers," said Clark. "Waves today and Friday have been averaging six to 10 feet with locally higher sets in southwest facing beaches."
The Coast Guard urges the public to be aware of the dangers of being in or on the water during high surf conditions.
"What happens is people under estimate the strength of The ocean and they get caught in the rip current and try to swim," Clark said. "Even a good swimmer can't swim in a rip current - they are too strong. Most people should not be out there right now."
City News Service contributed to this report.

One Bilbo, one Gandolf, one Gollum, one MCHS
One Book, One MCHS returns with a classic adventure tale
January 17, 2013
Travelling with 13 dwarves and the legendary wizard Gandalf is not a bad way to start off a journey. "The Hobbit" by J.R.R Tolkien, introduces such familiar faces as Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf the Gray. Bilbo's quiet existence is shattered when Gandolf shows up at his doorstep and convinces him to embark on a dangerous journey. A quest is begun to reclaim their treasure from the pillaging dragon, Smaug. On the way, Bilbo and his crew encounter hungry trolls, goblins, elves, giant spiders and yes, the whining little creature, Gollum.
School librarian James Neton and library technician Robin Weible recognized the release of the movie version of "The Hobbit" as an opportunity to use the novel for the second annual One Book, One MCHS.
One Book, One MCHS was originated to encourage students to read more and create a venue to talk about literature. "The idea of One Book, One MCHS is to bring students together to talk about ideas, share ideas, the big ideas in a piece of literature," Neton said. It is a way to bring everyone together as one school to discuss one thing, literature. That is how the name One Book, One MCHS came about.
One Book, One MCHS is an event that Neton and Weible came up with last year to encourage students to read for fun, not just for school requirements.
70 students and faculty signed up to read "The Hunger Games" last year. Neton is on track for more success this year. Students and staff pay $4.00 for their own copy of the book. The books are delivered in January and members have until mid-February to finish reading the book. A book party will be in March for the students and staff to come together and discuss the the book and what they learned.
Recommended Stories For You
"We want to continue to promote reading and promote people talking about literature, discussing ideas and being together and talking about ideas and literature. That's what really drives the imagination of people. They like to bounce ideas off of people," Neton said. There will also be drawings, prizes, and pizza for people to enjoy.

"Wow!! This was such a delicious cake! I made it and then lost the recipe. I forgot that I had it in my recipe box on this site. So glad I found it! I am going to make it tomorrow."
"I've made this recipe many times and it always turns out moist and delicious. It's a good idea to grease the pan, line with parchment paper, and then grease and flour the parchment paper in order to ensure that the cake comes out of the pan easily without falling apart. I double the amount of cocoa and vanilla in this recipe also.The last time I made this cake, I used white whole wheat flour, 1/4 C olive oil, and 3/4 cups honey in place of the original ingredients. It was still delicious and this is how I'll be making it from now on (no white sugar or flour means much less guilt for me!)"
"Loved by 4 boys and a Dad. I've made this more times than I can count. Only recipe I have found to be better than a box. Powdered sugar really is all you need, I agree."
"I found this cake when I was out of work and had no eggs (barely had groceries). I have since made this cake more than any other recipe. I've made it chocolate, vanilla, marbled, with food coloring, with a spice or two. Just made vanilla again last night and there are only two pieces left less than 12 hours later (it's just my boyfriend and me). This cake is awesome!! If you are looking for a quick snack cake to try, this is the one."
"The cake does not have enough chocolate flavor. I've tried it twice. Due to allergies, I need a cake without eggs. On the second round, I doubled the cocoa, added 2 more tablespoons of oil (so it wouldn't be dry) and used buttermilk instead of water. If it weren't for the cream cheese frosting I put on it, my kids probably would not have eaten it! I will try again and add a cup of chocolate chips and chocolate frosting! Be careful not to overbake it."
"I have made this recipe many times. We even subed whole wheat flour and applesauce(for the oil) and it is still wonderful. I have even made this for a few friends and they couldn't tell the difference from regular mixes."
"I made it one time it was o.k, instead of water, I used milk, turned out great, like a sponge cake, no crumbling, second time I made it, not so good?But the first time my boyfriend ate 3-4 pieces by the end of the day...he liked it, maybe third times the charm..."
"I made this cake once for my college brother's homecoming... and everyone loved it! I have had several requests since and it seems better and better each time; people can't believe there's no butter or eggs in the recipe and instead there's canola oil and vinegar! Just a note: all the times I have made this I doubled the recipe and topped with a chocolate swiss-buttercream meringue between the layers....it made it beautiful and more torte-style. AMAZING"
"Couldn't be any quicker or easier. Only one bowl and one mixing spoon, and my picky little brother who would not eat a chocolate cake (without complaining and complaining), from scratch because he only liked cakes from the grocery store box mixes enjoyed it thoroughly, said it was the best cake he had ever eaten, and requested it for his birthday. (He even admitted it was better than a box mix!) I couldn't be more pleased with a recipe!"
"this cake had a wonderful flavor, and was super moist. The only bad thing is it fell apart when I took it out of the pan to cool. I managed to piece it back together and cover it with frosting, I might try adding an egg next time to see if it helps!"
"Love this cake, but after moving, I'd lost my recipe! My mom and I each used the same recipe under the name, "Wacky cake", and both of us have been baking it for years. No, there are no eggs, and it tastes delicious with a simple powdered sugar topping~ although at times, I like to substitute 1/2 of the water with brewed cold coffee. It adds a richer flavor! Our recipe also calls for the cake to be baked in a 9x13 pan~ I doubled this recipe and had great results! You just have to measure carefully. Thank you, Beulah for submitting it. :)"
"No eggs are needed for this cake?"

Guiseley will be hoping for a little bit of assistance from Bradford Park Avenue this weekend, and they could do them a favour in return.
The Lions host Vauxhall Motors at Nethermoor on Saturday – above Avenue on goal difference only – while a few miles down the road, Avenue's visitors will be the team one place above the Lions, Colwyn Bay.
Guiseley manager Mark Bower was glad of the proximity between the clubs this week as it gave him the chance to watch Avenue host the Motor-men on Monday night.
He said: "They are a good side but if we play well it is a game we can win.
"I hope we play better early doors than we did on Tuesday (2-1 win against Leamington) and then we can get at them and cause them problems.
"We will take the win from the midweek game, even though we were far from our best. We had to grind it out but it was an important result."
Kevin Holsgrove scored in the midweek win in his fist appearance at Nethermoor since his return on loan from Conference Premier outfit FC Halifax Town. The shot took a deflection but it was on target.
Guiseley are looking to build on taking seven points from the last available nine and put another long run together. They had suffered three defeats before the weather interruptions.
Bower says his side will not take Vauxhall lightly, and with good reason as they managed to nullify Avenue last time out and beat Histon 4-0 last month – who held Guiseley to a 1-1 draw at the weekend.
The Motormen are playing for pride only from here on in though as they have informed the Conference they will be withdrawing from the league at the end of the season due to financial reasons.

Cubs' rally attempt in ninth thwarted
Cubs' rally attempt in ninth thwarted
That doesn't refer to the conduct of the 38,902 in attendance at Chase Field on Sunday afternoon, but rather to the Cubs' bats over the last six innings as they dropped the rubber match of a three-game series to the D-backs, 5-4, ending this road trip with a 3-3 mark.
What will be talked about at the water cooler on Monday morning is the ninth inning.
Trailing by a run, Mike Fontenot hit a leadoff single against Arizona closer Jose Valverde, who entered the day as the Major League saves leader with 39.
Daryle Ward then followed with a pinch-hit single to put runners on first and second, before exiting for pinch-runner Felix Pie.
That brought Jason Kendall to the plate. Manager Lou Piniella's original plan was to have Kendall lay the bunt down, but he fouled two of them off before running the count full.
"There was one pitch that was good [to bunt], but the other one was a little high," Kendall said.
With the full count, Piniella elected to put the runners in motion on the next two pitches, but Kendall fouled off Valverde's offerings each time.
"He handles the bat as well as anyone we've got," said Piniella. "We had some speed on the bases, so we took a chance."
Piniella sent the runners a third straight time, but on this pitch Kendall swung and missed at what looked like ball four, and Fontenot was gunned down at third. Two out.
"The bottom line is I should have got the bunt down," Kendall said. "I didn't do my job."
Ryan Theriot drew a walk, and Jacque Jones hit a hard grounder to the right side that D-backs first baseman Tony Clark had to dive to reach before tossing to first for the final out.
"We've got to start scoring some more runs. That's really the bottom line," Piniella said. "We can't expect our pitchers to go out and give up one or two every time."
It was a little more disappointing loss because the Cubs jumped out for three runs in the first inning. They got help right out of the gate with a couple of unusual errors. Theriot drew a leadoff walk and took second on a missed catch by Arizona first baseman Conor Jackson on a pickoff throw.
Jones hit an infield single up the middle to shortstop Stephen Drew, who wheeled and tried to fire to third base, only to have the ball wind up in the stands on a bounce to score a run. Aramis Ramirez hit an RBI groundout, and Cliff Floyd followed with his fifth homer of the season to give the Cubs an early three-run lead.
However, Cubs starter Jason Marquis (10-8), had problems with D-backs center fielder Chris Young, as Young got one of those runs back with a leadoff homer in the bottom of the first, and the rest of them back with a three-run homer the next inning, part of a four-run second for Arizona. Young leads Major League rookies in homers with 28.
"Obviously, I didn't do my job protecting the lead," said Marquis, who allowed five runs in 5 1/3 innings. "I felt fine, but I left a few balls up in the zone. I missed my spot on both [Young homers]. I just didn't make pitches when I needed to."
Derrek Lee hit an inside-the-park homer in the third to cut the lead to a run. It was the first inside-the-park homer by a Cubs player since Sammy Sosa in 2001, and the second of Lee's career, the other coming with Florida in 2003.
Unfortunately, that's where the score would stay for the remainder of the game, as the D-backs bullpen hurled five shutout innings with Edgar Gonzalez (6-2) working two of them to earn the win.
"It seems like every time we do that [score early], we don't score for the rest of the game," Floyd said. "It was unfortunate because after Young's adventurous day, Marquis gave us a chance to win. We just have to find a way."
The Cubs return home for an important stretch as they battle for a division crown, starting with the second-place Brewers on Tuesday night.
"We have 10 games at home. We need a good homestand," said Piniella. "It's our last big homestand of the year, so we have to take advantage of it."

Dez Bryant and A.J. Green obviously won't go head to head, but the Dallas Cowboys-Cincinnati Bengals game features two receivers who are expected to represent the future of the position.

Summer Fit Tip: Watch the Air Quality
Thanks to a series of fires up here in Northern California, many regular outdoor exercisers are being forced to take their workouts inside due to excess smoke in the air. It's especially important for those of us with asthma or upper-respiratory maladies, but everyone should use a little bit more caution when the air quality is not up to par this Summer. Use these tips for exercising to prevent damage to your health:
- Do not run on or near roads where there is heavy truck or bus traffic.
- Work out in the early morning or later in the evening when the ozone levels are at their lowest.
- Exercise indoors if possible.
- If you experience any difficulty breathing, stop your exercise immediately and see your doctor.

What allIhave read so far, I found that he doesn't use ornamental language at all and gives a strong message in very soft, easy and sometimes hilarious way. Love his poems.
Short and sweet poems with touches of humor! Love his poems! one of my favorite poets
Federico Granier
My own work as a tribute for Dahl (I am a non-english native speaker, sorry for any mistakes)
PINOCCHIO – (The Roald Dalh unwritten story)
An old wood-carver had a wish,
although he had one cat, one fish,
he asked a star for bones and skin
(as a Blue Fairy was coming in)
to see his puppet like a real boy
to end his days with so much joy.
Once inside the fairy said: ,
(as the old man was in the bed)
You´ve been so good. You´ll be a dad.
This wooden puppet´ll be your lad.
She made Pinocchio come alive
but in return he had to strive
to do his best to tell no lies
and if he needed good advise
a little cricket could help him out
if any problem might bring about.
But he had to make a deal
if he wanted to become real:
brave and truthful he should be
and he would have a new ID.
From now on, all day, all night
he couldn´t do anything right,
he looked for pleasure, fun and fame,
all of these without an aim.
Lots of lies everywhere
not at all being aware
that his nose grew ever longer
with each lie it was stronger.
Till finally one marvelous day
every crap he threw away
he saved Geppetto from a whale
all of them ended up hale.
Back at home, the Magic Fairy,
after seeing they were merry,
said: Pinocchio, as reward
your wish won´t be ignored
She gave her wand a mighty flick
but she started to get sick
cause the magic didn´t work
(she turned out to be a jerk)
The Blue Fairy was a fake
there was no magic, for god´s sake!
You can´t imagine what you will hear:
she was a simple puppeteer!

The most important thing we've learned,
So far as children are concerned,
Is never, NEVER, NEVER let
Them near your television set --
Or better still, just don't install
The idiotic thing at all.
In almost every house we've been,
We've watched them gaping at the screen.
They loll and slop and lounge about,
And stare until their eyes pop out.
(Last week in someone's place we saw
A dozen eyeballs on the floor.)
They sit and stare and stare and sit
Until they're hypnotised by it,
Until they're absolutely drunk
With all that shocking ghastly junk.

Emma Watson starring in Marilyn Manson movie
Emma Watson may have been putting off other movie roles besides Hermione in the Harry Potter series, but the U.K.'s Sun has just announced that she has been cast as Cinderella in a musical version of the fairy tale. The mastermind of that project? Marilyn Manson. Watch out, Em, he likes 'em young!
Watson had been focusing on academics in her spare time, putting off Hollywood until she was older. But now that she told Paste that she's planning to attend Brown, she can finally slack off. It's not like her latest movie made $50 million or so in one day or anything. And watch out for those art students from RISD.

Injury Related Facial Scarring, Raised on One Side of the Cut
- Civis
- Last updated: 4 years ago
I got this (5-6 cm) curved scar on my forehead from a road accident (hit some blunt object on the road) 8 months ago. After the wound closed, I used the Scaraway Sheets which did a good job reducing the appearance. I also tried Scaraway cream later but didn't work even made the area look worse. Today, the area is still so visible with the upper side of the cutter seeming harder and raised than the lower side. How can this upper (hard area) flatten and how can the scar fade more, please.

NEW HOLLAND -- Merely minutes after her Garnet Valley team's season had come to an end in the first round of the PIAA Class AAAA tournament with a 41-34 loss at the hands of District Three champion Wilson, Coley Ricci was still holding court in the middle of a disconsolate Jaguars huddle.
Tears streaming down her red cheeks, Ricci couldn't get away from being Garnet Valley's unquestioned leader. Her teammates surrounded her and tried to console her to no avail. In a game in which the Jaguars came oh-so-close to a bracket-shattering upset, this one stung just a little bit more than all of the others.
"It hurts," said Ricci, who dropped in eight points and dished out three assists. "We fought until the end and I'm so proud of my team. I'm so proud of everything we've been through. I thought we had it, but things don't always go our way."
It would have been hard to imagine a much smaller Garnet Valley (20-9) team even having a chance against a team that boasted a pair of twin towers in the middle in the likes of 5-11 Carley Brew and 6-1 Jessie Wallace, especially when the Bulldogs (27-2) outrebounded the Jaguars 13-0 in the first quarter. That mark stretched to 35-18 by game's end.
Slowly but surely, though, Garnet Valley chipped away at Wilson and in the third quarter, the Jaguars found their long-range aim as Jordan Ireland, her sister, Maddie, and Ricci all knocked down triples. Ricci's, one in which she found herself wide-open near the top of the key, gave the Jaguars their lone lead of the game at 23-22 entering the fourth quarter.
"We knew beforehand that if we came out and played like we could, we'd be right in with them," said senior Emily Mallon, who dumped in six points and grabbed three rebounds. We just knew we had to do little things. Box out, cut down the turnovers and take our time on offense and not force anything."
Unfortunately for the Jaguars, those turnovers started piling up in the fourth quarter to give the Bulldogs the edge they needed. Thanks to seven Garnet Valley turnovers, Wilson found the spark it needed to fend off the upset bid. Ultimately, Brew came through in the clutch in the paint for the Bulldogs, pouring in nine of her game-high 14 points in the final frame. The Jaguars got as close as four points when Mallon put back a miss and Maddie Ireland followed it up with a steal and a jumper.
"I feel like after we were down by four and kept battling, I think they realized that they weren't just going to walk all over us," said Jordan Ireland, who led the Jaguars with 12 points, including three trifectas. "They had to battle to win this game."
To Wilson's credit, it did have to battle and it was willing to battle for what the Bulldogs felt was theirs. As for the Jaguars, they'll have no choice but to merely reminisce about a magical run that came up just a bit short.

Dong Fang Mei Ren is taiwanese wulong, and it is commonly sold in West by names such as "Grand Wulong" or "Imperial Wulong". I've been unsure whether this is some kind of DFMR or not, as it looks like it could be but hasn't really tasted like one. It was one of my favourite teas at Soihtu, but I haven't drank this in a long time.
Today I tried this with a gongfu brewing, and compared it to Soihtus standard way of preparing it. And there it was, DFMRs characteristic taste! Not in a really fancy way, but recognizable.

This commentary originally appeared Dec. 22 at 8:30 a.m. EST on ETF Profits -- to access all the strategies from our team of ETF professionals, click here.
For many investors, the holiday season is anything but relaxing: This time of the year means tinkering with portfolios, positioning them to profit from trends expected in the coming months. Of course, the current environment is also quite challenging. Though the U.S. economy is certainly showing signs of life, a lot could go wrong in the not-so-distant future, making asset allocation a tricky task for investors of all levels of risk tolerance and degrees of sophistication.
Despite the challenges, there are a number of compelling opportunities for 2012 -- and, over the next several days, I'll be laying out a handful of actionable ETF investment ideas that appear set to generate meaningful gains in the new year. I'm starting with a dive into a corner of the global energy sector that is often overlooked, but is slowly becoming a major force likely to account for a big portion of energy supply in decades ahead: natural gas.
It had long been presumed that alternative-energy sources such as solar and wind power would gradually replace our need for oil, with a "green energy revolution" pushing out fossil fuels and ushering in an era of energy independence. As we've seen, though, solar and wind power have struggled to find economic viability in a challenging fiscal environment, with many companies going bankrupt in recent years. There have been some successes, of course, and the market share of alternative-energy sources has increased dramatically. But hope is dwindling that these clean-energy sources will replace fossil fuels.
As such, I have at least one thing in common with energy magnate T. Boone Pickens: We're both incredibly bullish on the potential for natural gas as part of the solution to the U.S.'s long-term energy problem. The fuel has seen a groundswell of support, and the case for utilizing more of it is relatively easy to make: It's clean, it's cheap, and it's abundant within U.S. borders. Perhaps most important, extracting and selling natural gas has already been demonstrated to be profitable, meaning it has the potential to be scaled up dramatically in coming years.
That's a tough combination to beat. With oil prices pushing $100 per barrel and fairly regular massive discoveries of new natural gas reserves, it seems logical to conclude that this fuel will account for an increasingly larger portion of global energy demand going forward.
The recent setbacks in nuclear power, which has become politically dangerous in the wake of the Japan disaster, have further opened the door for alternative power sources to gain ground. There are, of course, some hurdles. A meaningful threat to the industry, for instance, lies in the lingering debate over the potentially adverse environmental impact of extracting natural gas.
Many investors looking to bet on natural gas have embraced futures-based strategies designed to offer exposure to the price of the actual commodity. But that's a flawed approach for many reasons. First, natural gas prices have been steadily sliding for years as a result of massive increases in supply. New discoveries of previously unknown reserves have been made around the world, and there's no reason to suspect that will slow down any time soon. Second, even if prices were to jump amid climbing demand, the nuances of futures-based strategies could create stiff headwinds that may be difficult to overcome.
The First Trust ISE Revere Natural Gas Index Fund (FCG) represents a more effective strategy to betting on a natural gas boom. The fund consists of companies that derive a substantial portion of their revenue from the exploration and production of natural gas. In other words, these firms will be taking in money from the future sale of natural gas.
The ETF's methodology is compelling, as well -- potential components are screened by factors such as price-to-earnings ratio and return on equity, and the portfolio spreads around exposure to make sure no one name dominates performance (no single stock accounts for more than around 4% of assets). FCG is the only ETF currently available to U.S. investors that focuses exclusively on natural gas stocks, but it's really all we need -- thanks to this fund, there's a way for all types of investors to get in on what seems to be a very promising opportunity.

We're approaching the two-year anniversary of the first release in the 5.7x series of the Catalyst framework. I'm really proud of how 5.7x has gone -- it has given the project some much needed stability that was missing in the early goings. It still amuses me to look back at the changelog to watch it go from version 3.X (which is basically "Catalyst 1.0") to 5.X in the span of about two and a half months.
Although development was obviously very fast-paced then, with 14 releases since 5.7000 I wouldn't say we've stalled. Naturally, the bulk of the changes since then have been bug fixes. We've also increased the test suite from 1416 tests to 1805 (the old test suite actually ran most tests twice by default, but, by setting CAT_BENCH_ITERS=1, you will see the "1416" result).
A 5.71 dev release (5.7099_01) was recently shipped which includes a new method: go(). As marcus describes it, it "works like an internal redispatch to another action, while retaining the stash intact." I believe one more dev release will happen as I've recently checked in the long lost PathPrefix attribute.
5.71xx will be more of a short-lived series of releases to act as a buffer between 5.70XX and 5.8000. 5.8000 being the Moose conversion (see this interview for more information).
For a change as massive as the Moose cutover, why not move to 6?
The "Moose" conversion will actually be totally transparent. We expect this to be an entirely behind-the-scenes effort with no effect on existing code.
Given that perspective, we decided 5.8 would be suitable.
