As the popularity of Matroska is quickly growing, it is becoming necessary to define a set of minimum features players should handle. As we are pushing old features like the header stripping, we realise a lot of players (hardware and software) don't support such simple features. Probably because they never had a set of source materials to validate their code against. So we have remedied this with a set of 8 files meant to cover the basic features a player should support to be considered a good Matroska player.
The emphasis is on the container support not on the codec. It's possible some players may not support Theora for example in the "live" test file, but it's always possible to generate a similar file with mkclean --live.
The 8 files included in this set are:
- test1.mkv : Basic file
- test2.mkv : Non default timecodescale & aspect ratio
- test3.mkv : Header stripping & standard block
- test4.mkv : Live stream recording
- test5.mkv : Multiple audio/subtitles
- test6.mkv : Different EBML head sizes & cue-less seeking
- test7.mkv : Extra unknown/junk elements & damaged
- test8.mkv : Audio gap
We strongly encourage developers and companies that produce Matroska players to test these files on their product and make sure they all pass the test. We also encourage users to test these files too with their players and report the (non) success they are having. Later we will be producing a database of all known Matroska players and what test they pass/fail (but it won't come until a few weeks).
Let us know if you have any suggestion on how to improve this test suite or if you think something is not correct.
On 2011-06-02 there was an update to the Wave 1 pack as test2.mkv had an incorrect Segment Duration set.
You can download the test files on SourceForge and also look at the Release Notes accompanying these files.

Latest MedicineNet News
THURSDAY, June 20 (HealthDay News) -- Illegal immigrants account for only 1.4 percent of health spending in the United States and have lower health care costs than legal residents or naturalized and U.S.-born citizens, according to a new study.
This suggests they have insufficient access to health care, concludes study author Jim Stimpson, director of the Center for Health Policy at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
The researchers analyzed data from 2000 to 2009 and found that U.S.-born citizens spent $1 trillion on health care during that time. Spending by all immigrants -- legal and illegal -- was $96.7 billion and illegal immigrants accounted for $15.4 billion of that total, the researchers found.
"Today, undocumented immigrants and persons who immigrated less than five years ago have few options for health care access through public programs, leaving only the option to pay out of pocket or to secure private insurance," Stimpson said in a university news release.
About 6 percent of illegal immigrants received care for which providers were not reimbursed, compared with 2.8 percent of U.S.-born citizens. This may be because the immigrants are much more likely to have no health insurance, said Stimpson.
He said the findings, published in the June issue of the journal Health Affairs, reflect a history of policies that block access to care for unauthorized immigrants.
The safety net available for immigrants includes hospital emergency rooms and federally qualified health centers, but this type of limited access is insufficient, the researchers noted.
"These policies have merely shifted the financial burden of paying for the care of immigrants, and have potentially put the public's health at risk, when those who have infectious diseases defer treatment for illness," Stimpson said.
He said illegal immigrants should be given access to preventive and treatment services for infectious diseases and to the insurance marketplace.

Voting rights advocates fear problems with proof of citizenship requirement will mean many lost votes; board rejects Kobach modification
July 16, 2013
Topeka — A state board today rejected changes to the Kansas law requiring proof of citizenship for newly registered voters as voting rights advocates voiced concerns that thousands of Kansans will be unable to vote because of implementation snags with the new law.
"We are putting up a barrier to voting that doesn't need to be there," said Maryanna Quilty, president of the League of Women Voters of Shawnee County.
The proof-of-citizenship law requires people who register to vote in the state for the first time to provide a birth certificate, passport or other document.
But since it went into effect Jan. 1, more than 12,000 people who have attempted to register to vote are in "suspense," meaning they are not yet qualified to vote.
Officials said the registrations in question are people who are coming in to the Division of Vehicles to renew their license, or change their address or name on their license and decided to register to vote at the same time.
Jeannine Koranda, a spokeswoman for the Kansas Department of Revenue, which oversees the Division of Vehicles said, "In Kansas, we require proof of lawful presence for people getting their driver's license for the first time such as a teenager or someone moving in from out of state.
"To renew a license, you do not need to prove lawful presence. So it is possible for someone to come in and do something with their license and not prove lawful presence, but with every driver's license transaction we are required by Federal law to ask if people want to register to vote. If they do not have proof of citizenship documents the registration is still sent to the SOS's (Secretary of State) office where it goes into suspension until those documents are provided. The SOS's office or the election clerk sends a letter to those voters whose registrations are in suspense letting them know they need to provide additional documents."
Secretary of State Kris Kobach who pushed for the law sought an emergency temporary change.
But that was rejected by the State Rules and Regulation Board. A member of that board said Kobach's proposed fix was "disingenuous at best."
Kobach proposed allowing those in "suspense" to be able to cast a provisional ballot. But their vote would only count if they provided proof of citizenship documents before the votes were canvassed, usually a week after an election.
Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Brad Bryant urged the board to pass the measure, noting there are several special elections scheduled for September and October
But state Sen. Vicki Schmidt, R-Topeka, said most people don't understand what a provisional ballot is, and that the percentage of people who would return to prove their citizenship would probably be extremely low.
"I don't believe a large percentage of the population knows what casting a provisional ballot means," Schmidt said.
"They believe it is going to count. Sadly for these 12,000 plus individuals it will not count unless they take further action and I think that is disingenuous at best," she said.

Accelarated climate change, driven by human activity, has led to soaring temperatures around the world and the decade between 2001 and 2010 was the warmest ever recorded in all continents of the globe, according to a new report released by the World Meteorological Organization.
Additionally, an 'unprecedented' heatwave in the United States "has set or tied more than 7,000 high temperature records" across the country, according to a report from Climate Central. "This heat wave is essentially unprecedented," said the media and research orgnanization's Heidi Cullen told Reuters. "It's hard to grasp how massive and significant this is."
The increase in global temperatures since 1971 has been "remarkable" according to the WHO's assessment. Atmospheric and oceanic phenomena such as La Niña events had a temporary cooling influence in some years, the report says, but did not halt the overriding warming trend.
The "dramatic and continuing sea ice decline in the Arctic" was one of the most prominent features of the changing state of the climate during the decade, according to the preliminary findings. Global average precipitation was the second highest since 1901 and flooding was reported as the most frequent extreme event, it said.
"This 2011 annual assessment confirms the findings of the previous WMO annual statements that climate change is happening now and is not some distant future threat. The world is warming because of human activities and this is resulting in far-reaching and potentially irreversible impacts on our Earth, atmosphere and oceans," said WMO Secretary-General Michel Jarraud. "The world is warming because of human activities and this is resulting in far-reaching and potentially irreversible impacts on our Earth, atmosphere and oceans," he added.

Reuters: US Heat 'Unprecedented,' 7,000 Records Set or Tied
An "unprecedented" March heat wave in much of the continental United States has set or tied more than 7,000 high temperature records, and signals a warming climate, health and weather experts said on Friday.
While natural climate variability plays a major role, it is the addition of human-spurred climate change that makes this particular hot spell extraordinary, the scientists said in a telephone and web briefing. [...]
Since March 12, more than 7,000 high temperature records have been equaled or exceeded, Cullen said, citing figures from the U.S. National Climatic Data Center.
These records include daytime high temperatures and record-high low temperatures overnight, which in some cases are higher than previous record highs for the day, Cullen said.
"When low temperatures are breaking previous record highs, that's when you see this is incredibly special," she said.

From Climate Central: State-by-State Look at How Early Spring Has Arrived:
For most of the country spring has sprung earlier this year, but is this anything more than a single warm year? It seems that it is. During the past several decades, with the exception of the Southeast, spring weather has, indeed, been arriving earlier.
Never Miss a Beat.
Get our best delivered to your inbox.
In the interactive above, you can see how much earlier spring has arrived state-by-state, measured by the date of "first leaf." As you hover over any state, it'll display two boxes: a gray box that represents the day spring used to arrive (based on the 1951-1980 average) and a colored box that represents how much earlier spring has arrived in recent years (based on the 1981-2010 average).
Nationwide, the date of "first leaf" has clearly shifted — arriving roughly three days earlier now on March 17th (1981-2010 average) from March 20th (1951-1980 average). This shift affects all sorts of biological processes that are triggered by warmer temperatures — not just flowering, but animal migration and giving birth and the shedding of winter coats and the emergence from cocoons. How much will an earlier spring disrupt the intricate natural balance between the tens of thousands of species that depend on each other for food, reproduction and ultimately, survival? No one really knows.

AFP adds:
"Most likely the weird weather arises from natural variation on top of a warming climate," said Michael Oppenheimer, a geoscientist at Princeton and a veteran participant in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. "What we're seeing now is not surprising in the greenhouse world ... It's just the beginning of our experience with the new atmosphere."
Oppenheimer was a lead author of the panel's path-breaking 2007 report that analyzed research by hundreds of scientists and found there was a 90 percent probability that climate change is occurring and human activities contribute to it.
That report projected an increase in heat waves, droughts, floods, severe storms and extreme temperatures as a result of human-spurred global warming, caused in part by rising emissions of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide emitted by fossil fuel burning.
* * *
The WMO report looks at the increased prevalence of extreme weather events around the world:
Numerous weather and climate extremes affected almost every part of the globe with flooding, droughts, cyclones, heat waves, and cold waves. Two exceptional heat waves hit Europe and Russia during summer 2003 and 2010 respectively with disastrous impacts and thousands of deaths and outbreaks of prolonged bush fires.
Flooding was the most reported extreme event during the decade with many parts of the world affected. Historical widespread and prolonged flooding affected Eastern Europe in 2001 and 2005, Africa in 2008, Asia (in particular Pakistan) in 2010 and India in 2005, and Australia in 2010.
A large number of countries reported extreme drought conditions, including Australia, eastern Africa, the Amazonia region and the western United States. Humanitarian consequences were significant in eastern Africa during the first half of the decade, with widespread shortage of food and loss of lives and livestock.
Forty-eight out of 102 countries (47 per cent) reported that their highest national maximum temperature was recorded in 2001-2010, compared to 20 per cent for 1991-2000 and around 10 per cent for the earlier decades.
The decade saw the highest level of tropical cyclone activity on record for the North Atlantic basin. In 2005 category 5 hurricane Katrina was the most costly hurricane to hit the United States, with a significant human toll of more than 1 800 deaths. In 2008, tropical cyclone Nargis was the worst natural disaster in Myanmar and the world's deadliest tropical cyclone during the decade, killing more than 70 000 people.

The Philippines would strongly support Japan dropping its pacifist constitution to become a fully-fledged military force, said a government spokesperson on Monday. The call is largely seen as a counterbalance to China's growing military assertiveness over disputed oil claims in the South China Sea.
In an interview with the Financial Times, Foreign Secretary Albert Del Rosario said the Philippines would strongly support a rearmed Japan as a counterweight to the growing assertiveness and military provocations by China.
"We are looking for balancing factors in the region and Japan could be a significant balancing factor," he told the FT amid growing tensions over the South China Sea, almost all of which is claimed by China.
Related News: ASEAN To Push China For South China Sea Code Of Conduct
Foreign department spokesperson Raul Hernandez confirmed the government's official position in an interview with the AFP and said it was in favour of Japan upgrading its military from a self-defence force to a fully-fledged military, a move that would allow it more freedom to operate and could possibly alter the balance of power in Asia.
The interviews come shortly before a general election in Japan where the race front-runner, opposition leader Shinzo Abe, has promised to loosen limits on the military in Japan's pacifist constitution, imposed by the US after the Second World War, and stand up to China over similar disputes in the East China Sea.
Support from Asian nations, the Philippines in this instance, could hasten any constitutional amendments.

The possibility of rich, undersea oil and gas reserves in the South China Sea has led to rising tensions between neighbouring states as the Philippines, Vietnam and Malaysia have also lodged partial territorial claims to the disputed waters.
In July, the International Crisis Group said that prospects of solving the disputes "seem to be diminishing" and warned that the competing claims could escalate into armed conflict.
Adding to the tensions, Beijing has started issuing passports containing a map of its "nine-dash" claim to almost the entire South China Sea, a move that sparked diplomatic flare-ups from around the region.
The Philippines has refused to stamp the new passports in protest, opting instead stamp a separate visa application form.
Del Rosario told the FT:
The Philippines has contended all along that the nine-dash claim is an excessive claim that violates international law.

SANTA CRUZ – A vandal or vandals caused widespread damage at Holy Cross Church early Sunday in what police are investigating as a possible hate crime.
The damaged items included a baptismal font brought to Mission Santa Cruz by Junipero Serra in the late 1700s, a church spokesman said.
A custodian discovered the destruction to the main church and other areas on the property about 6:50 a.m., police spokesman Zach Friend said. Police believe the damage was done about 4 a.m., he said.
It included windows shattered by rocks and paint sprayed and poured on doors, walls, statues, a fountain area and sidewalks, Friend said. Some anti-church slogans and symbols were painted, he said.
Targets included the main church, the museum, the adjacent Siena House (a home serving pregnant women), and a garden area beside the historic chapel, said Warren Hoy, spokesman for the Diocese of Monterey.
The vandal or vandals went so far as to climb on the roof so they could spray paint on the church"s bell tower, Hoy said.
Paint was a poured on statues of Junipero Serra and the blessed Virgin Mary, he said.
Those statues and the original baptismal font were in a garden area adjacent to the chapel and Mission Galeria gift shop, he said.
"They got a little bit of everything," Hoy said. "They were so thorough, that is why I keep saying "they." They took some time to do all this."
Stained glass windows ringing the main church building, which was rebuilt after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, were largely spared, Hoy said. But some of the Plexiglas on the outside of those windows was damaged.
It"s unclear what the repair will cost, or whether the historic font could be repaired, he said.
"The sad thing is a lot of stuff they damaged were cultural artifacts, so they were not just attacking the church," he said. "It"s the history of it."
Holy Cross has suffered vandalism before, some of it specifically aimed at the history of the Mission era.
"Holy Cross is something of a lightening rod," Hoy said. "It is the obvious famous church in Santa Cruz, so if you want to do something to the Church, with a capital C, you attack the Catholic Church, and when you do, you attack Holy Cross.
"And it"s readily accessible, it"s a church, it"s not walled off."
Hoy added that while they are working with the police to find who damaged the property, they are praying for them too.
"They are obviously in a lot of pain and with any luck they will repent and turn themselves in," he said.
The church is alarmed, but the vandalism outside did not prompt an alarm, Hoy said.
They might need to consider motion lights, he said.
Friend said the suspect damaged a video camera on the church property also, and that investigators are working to determine if any video was captured before the damage was done.
Police are looking into the possibility of this being a hate crime, he said.
Police ask anyone with information to call the anonymous tip line at 420-5995 or leave a tip at www.santacruzpolice.com or on its cellphone application at http://m.santacruzpolice.com.

Sid Gilman, the University of Michigan neurology researcher named by authorities as the person who leaked data to an SAC Capital Advisors LP hedge fund manager charged with insider trading, has resigned his university position.
Gilman quit on Nov. 27, Pete Barkey, a spokesman for the Ann Arbor-based university's medical school, said in an email. He had been paid $1,000 an hour to act as a consultant to SAC Capital's Mathew Martoma, and in 2008 allegedly gave Martoma details of a clinical trial for an Alzheimer's drug being developed by Wyeth LLC.
Martoma has been arrested and charged with insider trading, and is accused of helping the firm make $276 million using the information provided by Gilman.
Gilman, 80, was chairman of a safety-monitoring committee that oversaw a clinical trial by Wyeth, now owned by Pfizer Inc., and Elan Corp. into whether the drug bapineuzumab was safe for patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease. He also moonlighted for a New York-based expert network, providing advice at a fee, according to the Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Justice Department.
The university said in a statement Nov. 21 that it "is carefully reviewing all of Dr. Gilman's activities while a faculty member." Barkey said had no further comment about what other steps the university might take.
Gilman wasn't charged. The non-prosecution agreement between Gilman and prosecutors, dated Nov. 15, requires him to forfeit $186,781, representing his payments from Elan and an expert-networking post that connected him with Martoma.

Hypnotherapy can Help with Phobias
How Stress, Anxiety and Phobic Responses, Affect Us
A few minutes calm is a wonderful gift to give yourself?
You can overcome Anxiety with Hypnotherapy & NLP quickly and easily. To find out how you, can feel calm and peaceful. In all of the situations which you struggle with or find overwhelming. Make an appointment for a free consultation today.
Many people experience anxiety and do not really understand what is happening within their mind and Body. When we spend a lot of time in a state of anxiety, our amygdala (a tiny structure in your brain which acts as an alarm system) is working overtime.
The more hyper-aroused we are about a number of things; the more the amygdala registers them as life-threatening events. The panic button is set off whenever something similar is happening again.
The amygdala is not a sophisticated organ, it does the equivalent of crying wolf, but you don't get to know that, you behave as though it's a real wolf all the time, to our emotional brain anyhow. We have to allow the higher brain power, to supply the amygdala with better information. We need to create new neural connections, we need to feed our amygdala with new information, if you find yourself panicking in a situation, acting in a way which is completely out of proportion to the situation you are in.
Work immediately towards:
Being in CONTROL and FEELING CALM
Take CONTROL of your breathing, ensure you slow your breathing down.
Speak Kindly to yourself, say "I am in Control", "I'm ok", "this will pass"
Practice the 7/11 breathing techniques (see below for instructions)
Anxiety and stress are closely linked
Anxiety and stress are closely connected in different ways; an obvious connection is that anxiety problems arise because of chronic levels of stress.
Stress is pressure, or an accumulation of pressures, physical or psychological which are too much for us to cope with. Stress varies from person to person, a stand-up comedian will revel in performing live in front of an audience, where many people will be terrified by the idea of doing a short presentation to our colleagues.
Throughout our lifetime, we encounter many stressful events, for example starting and leaving school, new jobs, relationships ending, illness, financial difficulties. When we have several events like this happen at the same time or within a short time span, our coping mechanisms may feel stretched throughout a day, we can experience lots of small stressful events which mount up which have a negative effect on us.
How do you know if you are under stress? It is suggested the following are linked to long term stress,
Disturbed sleep
Excessive alcohol or drug consumption
Weight gain or weight loss
Increase spending eg shopping more
Rheumatoid arthritis
Angina/ heart disease
Migraine/ headaches
Skin complaints
High Blood pressure
IBS ( Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
Ulcers/peptic ulcers
Some cancers can be triggered or exacerbated by stress
This isn't a Definitive list, some experts claim all illness is caused by stress. What we do know is ongoing stress causes serious wear and tear to the body and once you are aware of this, its YOUR responsibility to make that change
Flight or flight response
As soon as our emotional brain is triggered, to what it considers danger; cascades of bodily events are triggered to help us cope.
Our muscles tense ready for action, our blood pressure goes up to increase the circulation to our muscles and heart, which beats faster. We breathe faster to cope with the unexpected demands on it. We breathe faster, to speed up the time oxygen takes to get in our blood, and that makes our chest hurt and body tremble, to divert as much blood as possible to our limbs to aid action, our digestive system is disturbed which results in:
- A dry mouth
- Our kidney's, intestines and bladder functions stop, causing the muscles at the opening of the anus and bladder to start to relax.
- We sweat, which allows our bodies to cool our bodies which are flooded with stress hormones that enable all those responses to happen
Once the threat is over, we are still alive to tell the tale, our heart slow's down and the shaking begins to stop, the sick feelings pass, as our blood circulation returns to normal, and all the other regulatory functions start work again. This excellent system has served us well for millions of years; it was designed to deal with circumstances in which we could take action. Our ancestors who lived in the wild depended heavily upon them being able to react instantly, however, the stresses we face today are seldom life-threatening.
It is often psychological threats which affect us:-
Being bullied
The overcritical boss, Partner, Parent
The overcritical self
A difficult relationship
Work deadlines which are unrealistic
The primitive part of our brain which gives directions, which sets our flight or fights response in motion, cannot distinguish between real and imagined life-threatening events. Think about how your body feels when you wake from a nightmare; your body reacted as if it was really happening.
The psychological arousal is switched on when we get stressed, I imagine that we develop little antennas which search for potential dangers, and these often remain switched on, taking all our energy and attention, leaving us feeling drained. (Heard the saying "whatever you focus on you get more of it"?) We then spend more time focusing on stressful events, and we feel more of those uncomfortable feelings in our body. It's often at this point, we develop headaches, high Blood pressure, IBS, or other anxiety related issues.
We can't avoid stressful events or change the world, life is uncertain, we can't prepare for every eventuality, as natural disasters happen for example: -
Companies go bust
Someone we love, dies
All the above is out of our control, but we can learn to control or change the way we view and respond to those events. You can learn to take new actions, which can dissipate the stress hormone, you can learn to change the way you view the world and the events in your life, whether past or present.
One of the major presuppositions from NLP is "every behaviour has a positive intention" it can be quite liberating to discover the positive intention behind those uncomfortable feelings, it's your bodies way of trying to communicate with you, It wants you to pay attention to something.
Hypnotherapy & NLP help you discover the root cause of the stress, anxiety, fear, distress, and to deal with the root cause, learn new strategies, which allow you to manage the symptoms which create peace and energy within you to feel free in control and comfortable within yourself.
How to do the 7/11 breathing techniques
Be comfortable (sit or lie down) and in a place where you won't be disturbed.
Close your eyes if you wish
Become aware of the sensations in your body, any sounds and images which are in your awareness
Just let your body soften and relax, soften your jaw and shoulders.
You could repeat the word "soften" in your mind like a mantra.
Take a deep breath in, it's often helpful to place your hands on your stomach and notice your stomach inflating like a balloon when you inhale, your stomach will flatten when you exhale, if this happens you know you are doing it right.(This can take a little practice).
Make each out-breath last longer than your in-breath (the out breath stimulates the body natural relaxation response) by changing your breathing in this way your body automatically begins to relax.
Once you have got used to breathing from your stomach and expanding your stomach like a balloon and you can begin to count your breaths.
You breathe in for 7 seconds and breathe out slowly and gently for 11 seconds, if this doesn't feel right try breathing to other timings, you could start with breathing in for 3 seconds and exhaling for 5 seconds or inhaling for 5 and exhaling for 7 seconds, you will notice with practice, that you gradually increase the duration and your ability to relax easily get quicker and more powerful.
If you were to practice this every day for 10 to 20 times, can you imagine the positive impact it would have upon your body-Mind-spirit?
Ablutophobia- Fear of washing or bathing.
Acarophobia- Fear of itching or of the insects that cause itching.
Acerophobia- Fear of sourness.

fhunleth necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 61 diseños de 15 diseñadores freelance.
Troodon Software LLC
We're a software development company that specializes in embedded software. We code the stuff that runs inside set top boxes, custom networking devices, and other smart electronic devices that you hopefully can just take for granted that they work. Our specialty is getting software to run fast and using special hardware features in these devices in clever and efficient ways. This is really fun stuff for us. Most of the other guys that work in this area have stodgy and bland corporate presences. That's not us at all. We're programmers and not artists so we need help showing it.
Our target customers are technical managers and software, hardware, or system architects in mid to large size companies. These aren't suit-and-tie people but are certainly professional in their interactions with contract firms like ours.
I'm looking for a logo that is professional and conveys the pride, fun, and energy that we apply to our work. We're named after the brainiest dinosaur, the Troodon, so hopefully the logo can be along that theme. Wikipedia has Troodon info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troodon. I find the Troodon picture on Wikipedia to be a little ugly, but if the dinosaur is in the logo, it probably can be stylized in a nice way. My customers definitely are not paleontologists. :)
Of course, given the creativity of people on this site, I'd hate to require that a dinosaur be part of the logo, but it seems like some kind of association should be there given our company's name.
Also, I'd like the logo to be simple enough that it is theoretically possible to embroider it on shirts or hats if we ever choose to do that. We're new, so we don't have any pre-existing styles that need to constrain the design.
Please, no Jurassic Park style knockoffs or any styles that give the impression that we make kids toys. No stock images or clip art.
I'll need print and web versions of the logo in the end.

Small Business Marketing Unleashed Conference: Columbus, Ohio. September 22nd and 23rd, 2008What if you went to an online marketing conference and instead of going home with a notebook full of sound bites, you went home with a detailed plan of action to improve traffic and sales on your web site? What if instead of talking at you, the conference speakers worked with you to come up with a plan for your business?
That's exactly what happens for small businesses who gather together with
some of the best and brightest minds in online marketing at the Small Business
Marketing Unleashed conferences. Our first show this past spring in
A Different Kind of Small Business Marketing Conference
Small Business Marketing Unleashed is planned by the team behind Search Engine Guide and Small Business Brief, two sites that have long devoted themselves to demystifying online marketing for small business owners. We've taken the feedback our readers have shared about other marketing conferences and decided to put our own spin on this event to help small business owners get the knowledge they need to market themselves online. Now that we're planning our second Unleashed event, we're also incorporating the feedback from our first show to make things even better!
Instead of hearing a panel of speakers share four different viewpoints, (leaving you to figure out which one is right) we'll give the stage to one expert who knows how to explain the nuts and bolts of their topic to the small business audience. You'll get the information that's vital to improving your online marketing techniques and you'll get it without the techno-talk and industry jargon so common to larger online marketing conferences.
On day two, we'll take things a step further, breaking the show down into intensive work-shops that actually walk you through the process of beginning to market your site. Whether it's keyword research, viral marketing, paid search advertising or a variety of other topics, our expert marketers will walk you through the actual steps of launching your online marketing campaign and will send you home with the knowledge you need to finish the job.
We've added two speakers, two new general sessions and seven new workshops to make sure Unleashed equips you with everything you need to know about marketing your business online.

As a young man, Danny Pearl trekked in remote parts of the world where he found nary a place to rest his weary head at night. How heavenly it would be, he thought, for hikers to have friendly places to wash up, grab a meal and slumber peacefully before the next day's adventure.
That's why he and his wife, Ronit, signed up with Trail Angels, a network of hospitable volunteers available to thousands of hikers along the 580-mile Israel National Trail (Shvil Yisrael in Hebrew).
"We are people who believe that those who travel the trail, whether Israeli families or recently discharged soldiers or foreigners, should enjoy the land of Israel without worries," says Pearl, "so we give them a place to sleep, to shower and swap stories. It gives them a good feeling, and it gives us a good feeling, too."
When National Geographic recently named the Israel National Trail one of the world's 20 best "holy grails of trails", it noted: "The biggest blessing here comes in the form of 'trail angels' along the INT who give a helping hand and often offer a place to stay free of charge to thru-hikers."
The Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel (SPNI) initiated the program about 10 years ago and offers a list, in English and Hebrew, of nearly 100 registered Trail Angels, along with a description of the amenities offered by each. There are other more informal lists of hosts along the trail as well, and a similar program operates for hikers on the Golan Trail.
The kids love it
Trail Angels offer accommodations ranging from bedrooms or sofas in private homes, to rooms in kibbutzim and field schools, to a spot on the lawn for a sleeping bag. There's even a special room reserved for trail trekkers on the campus of Hadassah-Ein Karem Medical Center in Jerusalem. All that's necessary in any of these places is to call ahead.
In addition to bathroom facilities, many Trail Angels also make their kitchen, washing machine and Wi-Fi connection available to guests. Some hosts specify that they can provide separate sleeping arrangements for males and females.
"If we know in advance that one of them is having a birthday, we get a cake and a bottle of wine," says Pearl, who doesn't even try to estimate the number of people his family has hosted since 2004 in their home at Moshav Mazor in central Israel. If the group is unusually large, they can be accommodated on mattresses in Ronit's yoga and Pilates studio. "We've never said no," he tells ISRAEL21c.
The Pearls' guestbook has become a sort of how-to guide. "Our guests write tips in it for other travelers from what they have learned on their journey," says Pearl, a Jeep tour guide.
Arthur du Mosch, a licensed tour guide living in the Negev Desert community of Midreshet Ben-Gurion, signed up as a Trail Angel about five years ago. "We always have our door open for guests, and we thought it would be a wonderful way to provide a place where hikers can freshen up and rest for the night," he says.
The du Mosches have four children, ranging in age from 20 to six. "If our oldest son is not home, they can use his bed. Otherwise, they sleep on couches in the living room, and some decide to sleep on the roof or the floor. Normally we get two to five visitors at a time, and we have hosted roughly 60 people. Everybody is different and they always have their own stories to share, which is good for our kids — they love it."
Du Mosch is happy to hop into his Land Rover or onto his horse to pick up his guests from the trail and drop them off again in the morning to continue where they left off. Most of them he'll never see again, but like other Trail Angels the du Mosch family sometimes keeps in touch with guests for years afterward.
Safed (Tzfat) resident Zehavit Margolin became a Trail Angel only a few months ago, at the urging of her 16-year-old son. She and her family have hosted three young German hikers and a few groups of Israelis. "I have a dream to do the Shvil Yisrael, so for now I am doing it a bit by helping others," she says with a laugh.

Hamas threatened reprisals against Israel, including the possibility of new suicide attacks, after an Israeli airstrike killed one of the Palestinian group's top officials Thursday. The ongoing fighting has also sparked concern in the UN about a humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Agence France-Presse reports that Hamas called for a "day of wrath" in response to the death of Nizar Rayan, a party hardliner and military leader. Several of Mr. Rayan's wives and children were also killed in Thursday's attack.
Rayan is the most senior Islamist figure killed by Israel since Abdel Aziz al-Rantissi in 2004 and Hamas again warned that it could resume suicide operations against Israel for the first time since January 2005 to avenge his death.
"After the last crime, all options are open to counter this aggression, including martyr operations against Zionist targets everywhere," Hamas official Ismail Radwan vowed after the attack.
Rayan is the highest-profile casualty of the current hostilities between Israel and Hamas, which began a week ago. Haaretz reports that including the latest Israeli airstrikes Friday morning against Hamas targets, Palestinian deaths number at 425, with some 2,000 more injured. Also on Friday, Palestinian militias launched some 20 rockets at southern Israel, causing two minor injuries, reports The Jerusalem Post. The Post writes that three Israeli civilians and one Israeli soldier have been killed in the fighting.
The Los Angeles Times reports that Rayan was "a hard-line theologian and military commander" for Hamas, and that his death is "a clear loss on multiple levels."
He was uniquely popular and respected among the military wing; unlike most of the movement's civilian leadership, Rayan fought alongside troops in battles with Israeli soldiers and tanks.
He advocated suicide bombings, and his own son, 22, died in such an attack on an Israeli settlement.
Although most senior Hamas leaders went into hiding when the Israeli air barrages began, Rayan made a point of living openly in his home in the Jabaliya refugee camp. He encouraged other leaders to follow suit.
"He refused to leave his house; he preferred to be a martyr," the Hamas official said.
But Bloomberg writes that Hamas has proven capable of replacing assassinated leadership in the past, and is not apt to be seriously hampered by Rayan's death.
"Israel is mistaken if it thinks that by killing Hamas leaders it will put an end to the group," Mkhaimar Abusada, a professor of political science at Al-Azhar University in Gaza, said in a phone interview. "Hamas is a movement that has the support of 35 to 40 percent of the Palestinian people."...
"This is a morale blow to Hamas," said Abusada. "But it isn't going to have a problem finding new leaders. And killing its leaders only makes Hamas more extreme."
The Associated Press (AP) reports that Hamas appears to be withstanding the Israeli assault despite the losses it is suffering. The AP writes that Hamas's media outlets are still broadcasting, and the police, overseen by the Hamas government, still patrol the streets of Gaza.
"Israel has destroyed the buildings, but Hamas is still here," Ahmed Yousef, a Hamas spokesman, said Thursday, the sixth day of the bombing campaign. "There is no anxiety over the existence of Hamas — even if they destroy all of Gaza — because we are among the people."
Hamas' survival will depend on how far Israel is willing to go to obtain its declared objective: crippling the group's ability to fire rockets at Israeli towns and cities. Thousands of Israeli soldiers are amassed on Gaza's border, waiting for the signal to invade.
Yet Israel, which withdrew its troops from Gaza in 2005 after a 38-year occupation, also says it does not want to reoccupy the area. That suggests Hamas will be able to cling to power in Gaza, which it seized by force from moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in June 2007.
The AP adds that Hamas has launched some 400 rockets and shells at Israel since the fighting began last week, and Israeli officials say they believe Hamas has thousands of rockets in reserve.
The AP also reports that UN officials are expressing concern about an "alarming" humanitarian crisis in Gaza, due to a shortage of basic supplies caused by the fighting. John Holmes, the UN humanitarian chief, on Wednesday said, "Hospitals are obviously still struggling very much to cope with the number of casualties. We have continued to get some medical supplies in and to help them cope, but this remains difficult and fragile."
Karen Abu Zayd, commissioner of the U.N. Relief and Works Agency, which helps Palestinian refugees, told reporters by video link from Gaza that the agency has not distributed any food for two weeks because of the shortage of supplies and the Israeli bombardment.
"I think that means that 20,000 people a day have been without food that they expect — and probably is the bulk of what they get," she said. "So people are doing pretty badly. Everyone we know is sharing whatever they have, not just with their families but with their neighbors."
"We haven't seen widespread hunger. We do see for the very first time ... people going through the rubbish dumps looking for things, people begging, which is quite a new phenomenon as well," she said.
Humanitarian concerns have also spurred calls for a ceasefire, writes The Washington Post. But Israeli officials deny there is a humanitarian crisis in the region, and allowed supplies into Gaza on Thursday.
Israel on Thursday allowed 93 trucks into the strip to deliver supplies. Israel accused Hamas of hoarding critically needed goods in order to create the impression that conditions in Gaza are worse than they actually are. Israel has not allowed foreign journalists into Gaza since its operation began, and the accusation could not be independently verified.
The International Committee of the Red Cross reported Thursday that humanitarian needs in Gaza are growing, despite the aid shipments. The organization said electricity, cooking gas and water are all in extremely short supply.
Speaking in Paris after meetings with French President Nicolas Sarkozy, [Israel Foreign Affairs Minister Tzipi] Livni said there is no humanitarian reason for a cease-fire.
"There is no humanitarian crisis in the strip, and therefore there is no need for a humanitarian truce," she said. "Israel has been supplying comprehensive humanitarian aid to the strip."

What are prescription opioids?
Street names: M, morph, (for morphine); meth (for methadone); percs (for Percodan, Percocet); juice (for Dilaudid)
Opioids are a family of drugs that have morphine-like effects. The primary medical use for prescription opioids is to relieve pain. Other medical uses include control of coughs and diarrhea, and the treatment of addiction to other opioids. Opioids can also produce euphoria, making them prone to abuse. Some people use opioids for their ability to produce a mellow, relaxed "high." Federal laws regulate the possession and distribution of all opioids.
Use of prescription opioids is legal only when they are prescribed by a licensed medical practitioner, and are used by the person to whom they are prescribed. Illegal use includes "double doctoring," or obtaining a prescription from more than one doctor without telling the prescribing doctor about other prescriptions received in the past 30 days. Penalties for the illegal possession and distribution of prescription opioids include fines, imprisonment or both.
Where do opioids come from?
Some opioids, such as morphine and codeine, occur naturally in opium, a gummy substance collected from the seed pod of the opium poppy, which grows in southern Asia. Semi-synthetic opioids, such as hydromorphone (e.g., Dilaudid) or hydrocodone (e.g., Tussionex), are made by changing the chemical structure of naturally occurring opioids. Synthetic opioids, such as methadone, meperidine (e.g., Demerol) and fentanyl (Duragesic Patch), are made from chemicals without using a naturally occurring opioid as a starting material.
What do opioids look like?
Prescription opioids come in various forms—tablets, capsules, syrups, solutions and suppositories.
Who uses opioids?
Opioids are prescribed by licensed medical practitioners to people with acute or chronic pain resulting from disease, surgery or injury. Opioids are also prescribed to people with moderate to severe coughs and diarrhea. The opioids methadone and buprenorphine are prescribed to treat addiction to other opioids.
The use of prescription opioids for other than their medical purpose is considered "abuse." Much attention is given to the abuse of illegal opioid drugs, such as heroin, but some of the most commonly abused opioids are prescription drugs, such as codeine-containing Tylenol (1, 2, 3 and 4), hydromorphone (Dilaudid), oxycodone (Percocet, Percodan), morphine and others. Due to widespread abuse, OxyContin (a controlled release oxycodone product) became unavailable in Canada in early 2012.
Because of the risk of abuse, opioids are prescribed cautiously for chronic pain. However, opioids are of particular value in controlling pain in the later stages of terminal illness, when the possibility of addiction is not relevant.
Opioid drugs that are sold on the street may be stolen from pharmacies or from people who have been prescribed the drugs for legitimate purposes.
The non-medical use of prescription opioids has increased in recent years. In 2011, about 14 per cent of Ontario students in grades 7 to 12 reported non-medical use of an opioid pain reliever at least once in the past year. In 2008, 1.5 per cent of Canadians aged 15 and older who said they use prescription opioids used them "to get high." The rate of abuse was roughly five times higher among those aged between 15 and 24.
How do opioids make you feel?
The way opioids affect you depends on many factors, including:
- how much you use
- how often and how long you use opioids
- how you take them (e.g., by injection, orally)
- your mood, expectations and environment
- your age
- whether you have certain pre-existing medical or psychiatric conditions
- whether you've taken any alcohol or other drugs (illegal, prescription, over-the-counter or herbal).
Low doses of opioids suppress the sensation of pain and the emotional response to pain. They may also produce euphoria, drowsiness, relaxation, difficulty concentrating, constricted pupils, a slight decrease in respiratory rate, nausea, vomiting, constipation, loss of appetite and sweating. With higher doses, these effects are more intense and last longer.
The speed and intensity of the effects of opioids vary depending on how the drugs are taken. When taken orally, the effects come on gradually, and are usually felt in about 10 to 20 minutes. When injected into a vein, the effects are most intense and are felt within a minute.
How long does t he feeling last?
When opioids are taken to relieve pain, the duration of the effect varies somewhat depending on the type of opioid taken. For many opioids, a single dose can provide pain relief for four to five hours.
Are opioids dangerous?
Yes. Opioids can be dangerous if they are used without medical supervision. Here are some of the reasons:
Opioids are depressant drugs, which means that they slow down the part of the brain that controls breathing. All opioid drugs are dangerous when taken in large quantities or when taken with other depressants, such as alcohol or benzodiazepines. Signs of overdose include slow breathing, bluish skin and coma. Death can result, usually because breathing stops. If caught in time, overdose can be treated with drugs such as naloxone, which blocks the effects of opioids, including the effect on breathing.
People who use opioids regularly for their pleasurable effects soon develop tolerance to these effects, which means they need to use more and more of the drug to achieve the desired effect. As the amount taken increases, so does the risk of overdose. If people with tolerance stop taking the drug, they lose their tolerance. If they then resume taking the same amount they took before they stopped, the risk of overdose is extreme.
Some people inject opioids to increase the intensity of the euphoric effect. Using dirty needles and sharing needles carries a high risk of infection and disease (e.g., HIV, hepatitis). When pharmaceutical tablets or capsules are dissolved for injection, non-drug substances contained in these products can permanently damage veins and organs.
Regular use of large quantities of opioids during pregnancy can increase the risk of premature delivery and infant withdrawal. Pregnant women who are addicted to opioids are treated with the long-acting opioid methadone to prevent withdrawal symptoms.
Are opioids addictive?
They can be.
When opioids are used as directed under medical supervision in the general population, there is little risk of addiction. However, the risk appears to be higher in people with a history of abuse or addiction. Addiction is when a drug becomes central to a person's thoughts, emotions and activities, and he or she feels a craving or compulsion to continue using the drug.
Anyone who takes opioids regularly will develop physical dependence. Physical dependence is the result of the body adapting to the presence of the drug, and is not the same as addiction. A person who is physically dependent will experience withdrawal symptoms about six to 12 hours after last taking a short-acting opioid, such as hydromorphone, and about one to three days after last taking a long-acting opioid, such as methadone. With short-acting opioids, withdrawal comes on quickly and is intense; with longer-acting opioids, withdrawal comes on more gradually and is less intense.
Symptoms of withdrawal include uneasiness, yawning, tears, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, goosebumps and runny nose, accompanied by a craving for the drug. Symptoms usually subside after a week, although some, such as anxiety, insomnia and drug craving, may continue for a long time. Unlike alcohol withdrawal, opioid withdrawal is rarely life-threatening.
What are the long-term effects of taking opioids?
Long-term use of opioids can cause constipation, decreased interest in sex, menstrual irregularities and mood swings. Addiction to opioids can have devastating long-term social, financial and emotional effects.

They are on all kinds of things.. quilts, ottomans, pillows- you name it.
They have pretty much popped up everywhere.
Well I finally worked on a little Union Jack creation of my own.
I love the texture, love the charm, love the color.
( okay, not loving the itchy eyes or the allergies so much ;) )
It just reminds me of something vintage and charming.
(You can find both the webbing and burlap at Burlapfabric.com)
Burlap. Webbing = Union Jacks.
Perfect to add a little rustic to the mix.

Heineken Cup
Strauss injury fears eased
ESPN Staff
December 17, 2012
Richardt Strauss will miss Leinster's two remaining Heineken Cup pool fixtures © PA Photos
Leinster and Ireland have received a boost with the news that Richardt Strauss' knee injury is not as bad as first feared.
Strauss, who made his debut for Ireland during the recent autumn internationals, twisted his knee during Leinster's 28-21 defeat to Clermont Auvergne at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday.
The Leinster hooker came off after just 11 minutes of the match and it was feared he had suffered serious cruciate ligament damage, which would have put the rest of his season in doubt.
However the Irish Province have confirmed that, although there is ligament damage, he will only be out for four weeks.
Therefore he should be fit to return for the latter stages of the Heineken Cup, should Leinster progress to the last eight, and for Ireland's Six Nations campaign, which starts against Wales on February 2.
However he will miss Leinster's crucial two remaining Heineken Cup pool fixtures against the Scarlets and Exeter Chiefs.

Forum Post: Saving Our Unions
Posted 6 years ago on Feb. 4, 2014, 12:13 p.m. EST by shoozTroll
This content is user submitted and not an official statement
"Any review of the recent ups and downs of U.S. labor must start in Michigan, long a bastion of blue-collar unionism rooted in car manufacturing. Fifteen months ago, this Midwestern industrial state became another notch in the belt of the National Right to Work Committee, joining the not-very-desirable company of Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, and twenty other "open shop" states.
The emergence of sun-belt labor relations in the birthplace of the United Auto Workers (UAW) was shocking to some. But this political setback was preceded by high-profile defeats in neighboring states that began in 2005. First Indiana, followed by Wisconsin and Ohio, stripped public workers of their bargaining rights (although the Republican attack on government employees was later repelled by popular referendum in the Buckeye State). Then in early 2012, GOP legislators in Indiana passed a right-to-work law applicable to private industry. It banned any further negotiation of labor-management agreements that compelled workers to make a financial contribution to the cost of union representation, in established bargaining units or newly organized ones.1
In November 2012, organized labor tried to buck the emerging anti-union trend with two ballot questions designed to strengthen public-sector bargaining rights in Michigan. Despite the expenditure of many millions of dollars by affiliates of the AFL-CIO and Change To Win, both measures were defeated.2 In its lame-duck session just a few weeks later, GOP legislators in Lansing took retaliatory aim at union security in Michigan's private sector. When the region's latest "right to work" bill landed on his desk, Republican Governor Rick Snyder was most pleased to sign it into law.
During the intervening political furor, even labor's "friend" in the White House, felt compelled to speak out. "We should do everything we can to keep creating good middle-class jobs that help folks rebuild security for their families," Barack Obama told a union crowd in Detroit, after his own reelection victory. "What we shouldn't be doing is trying to take away your rights to bargain for better wages and working conditions. The so-called 'right-to-work' laws—they don't have to do with economics, they have everything to do with politics. What they're really talking about is giving you the right to work for less money."3"
