Home, sweet home? The Dynamo are counting on it. After three north-east road games in the space of eleven days, four of Houston's next five fixtures are at BBVA Compass Stadium, starting with Sunday's match against the Portland Timbers (2 p.m. CT, TICKETS).
The Dynamo are pleased to be back on Texan terrain, especially after picking up a solitary point on their recent travels. The hat-trick of away matches culminated with Wednesday's 4-0 defeat to the New York Red Bulls on a wild night that was chance-laden for both sides.
Houston will seek to end a five-game winless streak by collecting three points on Sunday against a Timbers side that is yet to claim a victory this season. Given each team's frustrations, Dynamo winger Andrew Driver is predicting an urgent and attack-minded afternoon.
"One or two things aren't clicking and aren't going right and there's no better way to sort that out than to go into a game at home against a team that is generally a good team. It's going to be a big game for both teams and it's the kind of game we need to go and win," he said. "We really need to produce this weekend and it's a massive, massive game."
Most of head coach Dominic Kinnear's group know what it is like to wait for a "W". The Dynamo endured seven matches without a win in May and June last year but rebounded to reach the playoffs and come agonizingly close to a third successive MLS Cup appearance. Rough patches are nothing new; equally, this team is no stranger to strong recoveries.
"Unfortunately we've been in this situation before, we've had our backs against the wall, we haven't played our best soccer for some stretches. Every single year you're going to have ups and downs and we've come out of them OK," said captain Brad Davis, who is hoping to be fit for Sunday after missing the past three matches with an ankle injury.
"A great thing Dom said this morning is that when these times come you can hide or you can stand up and go fight. That's what this team's always done and that's what we're going to get back to doing."
Goalkeeper Tally Hall echoed Davis's rallying cry. "We do it as a team and that's going to be priority number one, come together as a team. You look at the history of our team, even the recent history, and you're going to find that situations come up like this and traditionally this team has come together and we've clawed our way out of it. You have to fight, it has to be a battle and this team has done that in the past and I don't see why Sunday would be any different," he said after training on Friday.
"Giving up four goals as a defensive player is unacceptable, even if you're on a team and you win 5-4, as a defensive player in soccer getting scored on four times is never OK. It's going to be changes made that come with effort and concentration and we don't really have a choice, we have to play better," Hall added.
"We're going to be focused on playing smart … At the other end of it, it's got to be keeping shape, preventing guys from picking up the ball in midfield and making passes that lead to goals."
In attack, creating chances does not seem to be a problem: the Dynamo have had more shots on goal than any other MLS team so far this year. Driver acknowledged that the team needs to be more ruthless.
"We haven't been clinical, we haven't scored enough. I think even the game against New York could have been different if [we'd finished a couple of our chances]. We've just got to continue to work hard and maybe need that little bit of luck and we can kick on from it," he said.
Along with capitalizing on key moments up front, Davis believes that sharper execution when the team is defending will make a massive difference. "The little tedious things matter, they matter in a big way because every time something's going wrong for us we're getting punished by it. We need to tighten the screws a bit," he said.
Stopping the basics from looking complicated is easier said than done, of course, especially in the opening weeks of an intriguing season where few teams seem to have settled into a consistent rhythm. Hall summed it up perfectly: "It's always simple things that are not so simple." At least the comforts of home might help.

At the point when asked he reacted "Well the extent that extras go, theyre an undisputed top choice… " If Tom Ford would do shades we new they should be something really momentous and kid were we right. The sunglass line is a return to decades past, specifically most have that attractive seventies styling that Tom has so effectively made his own.

GM's "Maximum" Bob Lutz opened up his maximum mouth this evening to tweak the rest of the luxury performance sedan universe in response to Jaguar dropping out of the Jalopnik Vs. GM "CTS-V Challenge" race set for Thursday.
As always, it's filled with maximum hyperbole. What more should we expect — his product's making the rest of the luxury sedan landscape look like a bunch of also-rans. The breathless Josh Oliver from The GM Source asked him what his reaction was to Jaguar's early pull-out. Here's the response from Bob:
I think it means that the European high-performance sedans are excellent, even superb cars, but quite possibly not ready for racing laps right out of the show-room. The CTS-V is not only quicker, but will, in totally untweaked, stock form, run hot laps at any race track until it runs out of fuel. Transmission oil and diff oil temps are stable, engine oil temp doesn't go up, brakes get a bit more pedal travel, but don't fade. The street tires get a tad greasy, but handling and control remain excellent. "May the best car win"! (It wins automatically if the competitors won't show up!)
He's right. He's already gotten the best of Mercedes, Jaguar and Audi. We've yet to hear from BMW or Porsche — so please, feel free to e-mail me below if you're interested in, you know, standing up for your honor.

Williams is still looking for another solid bullpen pitcher. Major League Baseball sources told me the White Sox have talked to the Toronto Blue Jays about the left-handed relief pitcher Scott Downs, who if acquired, would be an upgrade as the second left-hander in the Chicago Bullpen. The Sox have also asked about Padres closer Heath Bell. San Diego officials insist that Bell will not be traded at the beginning of the season, the likelihood is that by the time the trading deadline approaches july 31, that bell will be dealt. The same scenario exists for Padres first baseman Adrian Gonzalez. …
Levine also hears that "the White Sox payroll is maxed out at $104 million for 2010." Other stuff talked are the Johnny Damon rumors, Kenny's #1 worry for 2010 being Carlos Quentin, and talking the marketing dept. (Brooks Boyer) before making a trade.
And here's a link to the podcast of the interview with Kenny (12:29).
Both Downs and Bell are on the last year of their contracts and are making $4 million. Bell would be too expensive to get, and Downs would be bad allocation of money. Bad? Yes, why not use that money to go after a DH?

I have a series of checkboxes each one having a name and a value and a person can choose either one or all of the boxes(it can't be radiobuttons because you can only make a single choice)
I want to know if it is possible to calculate the total amount if the person chooses any number of checkboxes from one to eight.
I.e checkbox1 value = 5

checkbox3 value = 7.
I would apprieciate any kind of help here thanks

Roger's Gardens is a destination in itself. My friend Pam thinks admission should be charged (shhhh on that idea) because it is so fabulous. Always impeccably decorated, even the bedding plants are laid out in style.
Love this lady. The wreath elegantly placed on her shoulders looks as dressy as a fur collar.
If I had a real tree, this would be it. I believe it's a Silver Tip and I love all that space between branches. Ornaments could dangle away and really show off for Christmas.
This tablescape is gorgeous. The all white tree looks smashing against the persimmon-colored berries.
Love the combining of various shades of green and brown.
Again, white branches really make the other colors pop.
Santa are all spiffed-up standing in a row.
Green apples are always a favorite of mine. The apples works with any seasonal decor (okay, maybe not Halloween).
The center of this wreath is sharply cut twigs. Gorgeous brown velvet bow ripples along the sides.
This is three different pieces put together - a wood pedestal, a glass vase stuffed with red roses, and a lantern sitting atop.
Can you tell I love anything with that bright green?
Finally, a bit of red.
The permanent train station is also decked out for Christmas. If I had't been traveling by plane, I would have purchased several of those little chartreuse spruce trees to bring home.
Now, believe it or not, the above picture is taken at Disneyland. Yes! Isn't it a clever way to grow and display herbs and salad greens? And wouldn't any one of those pots make a great Christmas gift? I think so.
Sleeping Beauty Castle all decked out.
My family (and friend, Miss Jennifer) and I had a super time roaming around Roger's Gardens. And December isn't December without our family's annual pilgrimage to Disneyland. Hope you picked up some design ideas from the pics above!

"You know, you're a really good driver."
by zunguzungu
I went to visit my grandparents the summer when my grandfather was in the later stages of Alzheimer's. He had been angry, through much of the experience, irritable in the way that feeling your memory and identity slip out from underneath you will cause you to be. But when I went to see him, that was all over. He was calm, relaxed, easy-going. He had no idea who I was, of course, or most of his children, and when I was picking raspberrries and weeding with him, he was curious as a child about the plants in his garden that he had spent his life tending. "What do you think this is?" he would say, holding up the plant he had pulled up, instead of the weeds we had been instructed by my grandmother to pull. He had no idea, and was tickled at the discovery. A life long Wisconsin farmer, he couldn't remember the difference between a weed and a vegetable.
My grandfather was always perfectly kind, and he had a coarse joviality, but he was also never very demonstrative or expressive. That was his wife, my grandmother, who would fill our every minute of every day with activity, useful or just fun. He could also be stern, but mainly he was just busy, busy and self-contained. As a child, growing up, I liked him, but also had never really connected with him. He liked children, perfectly well, just didn't have much to say to them, and there were always a lot of them; they were a good catholics, you might say, and had eight kids and thus quite a few grandkids (whose visits we always tried to overlap with). Before he came down with Alzheimer's — when I was in my teens and later — he had opened up a bit, slowed down a little, but when I was a child, my main interaction with him was through the gadgets he would make, everything from little wooden rubber band shooting pistols to the giant swingset he had constructed in the back yard.
As I drove them to the truckstop diner that grandma had picked out to eat, later that day, he asked perhaps fifteen times where we were going, and who I was. This was normal, and we answered patiently. Then, suddenly, he looked at me and said, "You know, you're a really good driver." And he patted my hand affectionately. I had tears in my eyes.
Since he died, now a few years ago, I think back to that moment as maybe the only time when he ever did anything like that, at least with me. He wasn't an affectionate man, by nature, and across the generations, I always squinted dimly to see him. But in that one moment, when he had forgotten how old he was or who I was, when it didn't matter, he looked at me and patted my hand in a memory I still cherish, for reasons I can't fully articulate. But it's what I remember when I think of him.

When I heard the news that Gabriel García Márquez was in the beginning stages of dementia, I wrote a piece over at The New Inquiry on García Márquez' One Hundred Years of Solitude, a longish essay I called "Autumn of the Patriarch, Forgetting to Live." But I was also thinking of my grandfather.

DOD considers holistic path to sequester imact on resources
Amaani Lyle
American Forces Press Service
In light of recent budget woes, Defense Department officials are weighing resource priorities and moving toward the decision phase for the fiscal year 2014 budget, a Pentagon official said at the National Defense Industrial Association National Logistics Forum, June 14.
During the strategic choices management review designed to plan a timeline over the next five years, officials will attempt a methodical assessment of the Defense Department's resources and objectives to avoid broad-stroke cuts, said Mike McCord, the Pentagon's principal deputy comptroller.
"We want to approach problems as holistically as we can and make decisions that make the best of this bad situation," McCord said. "Most people feel that there's a smarter way to do it than across-the-board cuts."
McCord noted that modernization, readiness and force structure value prioritization remain central to the budget decision process.
"We looked at the kind of trade-offs that people would expect us to look at," McCord said, "(such as) the impacts of preserving modernization as more of a primary goal to preserving readiness at the expense of modernization and force structure … at the expense of those other two."
Officials also considered retaining some residual capacity that might be slower to localize or strengthening the force enough to ensure that what remains is ready to deploy and prevail. But if sequestration cuts, now in effect for fiscal 2013, continue, he added, the Defense Department won't be able to do everything the president wants it to do.
"We need to review which of the many objectives we have are the most important to us and separate those that really drive resource decisions from some of those that don't so much," McCord said. "We can't do all the things that the commander in chief wants us to do if we have a permanent sequester level."
But capability can increase, at least relatively, with greater lead-time, stability in planning and flexibility on how to execute those plans, McCord said.
"We should not wait until the middle of the fiscal year to get those answers as we did this year to find out if the sequester is going to happen or not," he added.

Series Finale
So, winning another series comes down to the final game Thursday night against the Giants.
In the NLCS last fall, won by the Giants, there were three one-run games, all won by SF. Tuesday night was another one. Main difference from last night and last fall is that the game time temperature of 82 was about 40 degrees warmer than October 23.
Phillies have won their last nine series. Three times it was W, L, W.
More Worley Notes
He's won five straight starts, the first Phillies rookie since Charles Hudson in 1983. The last longest streak by a Phillie rookie was six by Grover Cleveland Alexander in 1911, according to Elias Sports Bureau.
Phillies closers have combined to record 29 saves in 30 chances. That's pretty amazing since you consider the incumbent closer Lidge doesn't have one. The three that have carried the load are Madson, Bastardo and Contreras . . . Phillies went into last night's game leading the NL in hitting this month (.273) but were held to just four hits. Thy struck out only once . . . Phillies starting pitchers are 29-10 at Citizens Bank Park . . . SF relievers have given up just 2 runs since the All-Star break.
Down On The Farm
Lehigh Valley won its fifth in a row, 4-1, over Pawtucket . . . Reading was held to four hits in losing, 3-2, to Altoona . . . Clearwater's six-game winning streak came to an end in a 6-1 loss to Bradenton . . . Lakewood was idle . . . Williamsport dropped a 4-1 decision to Vermont . . . Gulf Coast League Phillies were 7-6 winners over the Braves.
Today In Phillies History
Russ Meyer pitched the Phillies fourth consecutive shutout, 1-0, at Chicago. The other four: Robin Roberts, 2-0, at St. Louis, July 25; Ken Johnson, 7-0, at St. Louis, July 26 and Bubba Church, 2-0, at Chicago, July 27.
Cooperstown Gallery
Pat Gillick's oil portrait by Phillies artist Dick Perez,was added to the Phillies Hall of Famers in the Cooperstown Gallery section of the Hall of Game Club at Citizens Bank Park this morning. Gillick is the 33rd Phillie to be recognized.
Other portraits include the Philadelphia Athletics and Native Sons from the Delaware Valley who are enshrined in Cooperstown.
One other note from the Hall of Fame weekend: Baseball Hall of Fame Museum sells post-card sized images of the Hall of Fame plaques. In less than 24 hours, all 3,000 of Gillick's were sold. More are being printed.

Do our dogs train us? You bet! In a new book, Training People, one canine reveals the secret of how they do it.
Excerpted from Training People used with permission of Chronicle Books, LLC, San Francisco. Visit ChronicleBooks.com.
Introduction: People Live To Please You
Many dogs find the idea of owning and training human beings intimidating. And the plain fact is that for some dogs, owning people is not worth the trouble.
After all, people are a completely different species, with poorly developed senses of smell, hearing, and sight; idiosyncratic thought processes; inefficient
communication techniques; and erratic temperaments. Each of these can be troublesome, and in combination they are often mystifying, even aggravating.
A female who does not resist your scratching her stockings is a promising prospect.
Still, despite their limitations, people often make charming, loyal, and rewarding companions. And although we canines are generally above such "commercial"
considerations, the fact is that most humans are willing, even eager, to work long hours outside the home den to obtain the financial resources needed
to support using appropriate style and comfort.
This book will show you how to get the most out of owning people. There is no better place to start than with the fundamentals. Effective people ownership
and training is made immeasurably easier and more enjoyable by keeping in mind two elementary truths: People love dogs. They live to please us. [1]
How To Choose A Human
Volumes have been written on how to choose a human, but the truth is, given the short time typically available to make the choice, it is always something
of a gamble. While the specific conditions under which you make the selection vary–kennel, pet store, magazine ad, Internet, and so on–the basic
selection criteria are the same. (Having said that, I for one would never select a person without inspecting him or her firsthand.)
Most experienced dogs prefer to pick their person in a kennel setting. Having driven some distance to see you, humans typically take more time to offer
themselves for inspection. It is a good idea to have your mother or father present to offer their opinion, as they likely have considerable experience
in assessing human traits. Still, since your canine brain has developed extremely rapidly (whereas the human brain takes at least 140 years–20 "human
years"–to reach what passes for full maturation), even as a puppy you are fully able to make a good choice.[2]
As your potential people approach to display themselves, watch carefully. Are they alert? Do they appear intelligent, interested? Do they seem lazy? Humans
who demonstrate sloth tend to resist vigorous physical activity, and thus are harder to train to assist you in your daily exercise.
Another important indicator is personal dress, particularly as it relates to your breed. For example, if you are of long-haired stock, prone to shedding,
it is good to avoid selecting a human who dresses with excessive neatness. Such people are prone to irritability when required to do the sort of household
chores you need and expect.
Your overall goal is to select a human with an Accommodating Personality. Some dogs use a point system, allocating a number for each important trait, giving
added weight to especially desirable characteristics. That is fine if you are so inclined, but a less formal approach works equally well. Just keep
in mind the key qualities needed to accommodate your specific needs.
Among the most valuable assessment instruments is the Playfulness Test. Playfulness cannot be overemphasized. Playful people are much easier to train.
So, unless you want a companion whose only duties are to provide you with food and shelter, select for playfulness.
Get near your potential human. Rollover on your back, then wait. Does the human bend down to tickle you? Does he smile? Begin to "talk" in a voice other
than that used to communicate with other adult humans? Change of voice is extremely important. Humans have few skills, but one is variable voice tone.
National studies show that fully one half of humans address their canine owners in a mawkish, cloying voice. They use a similar tone in addressing
their newborn offspring. A person who speaks to you in this manner is especially eager to do your bidding.
The Conditioned Reflex
All training of humans is based on the conditioned reflex. The pioneering experiment in this regard took place in Russia in the late 19th century. Two
Borzois initially had great difficulty training their human attendant, a physiologist named Pavlov. Consistent with their elevated social status, the
Borzois preferred to have meals prepared and served with appropriate decorum. Pavlov, however, seemed oblivious to this need and consistently presented
meals without notice or manners.
The dogs were determined to get him to ring the dinner bell announcing their meals. They decided to give him a tangible cue that the bell should be rung,
and then reward him for doing so. Through experimentation the dogs found that Pavlov responded enthusiastically to canine salivation. (Humans often
display strange preferences. It is pointless to judge them.) They had to engage in visible salivation nearly a hundred times while nudging the bell
before he understood. However, once he grasped the connection of action
to response, he consistently utilized the desired bell-ringing behavior, and they would salivate to reward him. For the rest of their lives the Borzois'
meals were appropriately announced and served.
Reverse Psychology
Humans, being prone to delusions, tend to believe that they, not you, control the relationship. Properly managed, this harmless fantasy can be used to
your advantage. Let them feel in control, and they will do almost anything for you.
Many of the traditional training techniques build on this insight. In most cases your person responds to the Physical Cues described below, but still believes
he is freely deciding on a course of action. Human verbalization provides for easy monitoring: If your person commonly says, "good girl," "my dog,"
or "I have a great dog," your training approach is paying off beautifully. Keep in mind that excessive discipline can jeopardize this highly useful
state of mind.
Physical Clues
People respond well to Physical Cues. They are primarily visual creatures, and, driven by their innate desire to please, humans can become very adept at
interpreting signals you send through posture, position, and facial expression.
Ear angle, head position, and tail motion are simple and effective training tools. If you want humans to pay attention, simply raise your ears. Even a
slight lift will cause them to focus on you. Combining the Ear Raise with an altered head position reinforces the effect. For example, tipping the
head to one side while raising the ears will more often than not generate an inquiry by your human as to what it is you want. If you wish him or her
to pick something up for you, combine the Ear Raise with staring intently at the object. With duller humans, a bark command may be necessary.
Horizontal Tail Motion [HTM] generates a strongly positive response among people, and almost always generates expressions of human affection. HTM or "wagging"
has multiple useful variations: [5]
- Standard: The tail is moved horizontally at one full cycle per second. This conveys to your human that she is pleasing you.
- Rapid: Two to three cycles per second (this rate can be difficult to sustain for longtailed breeds) . Humans understand that you
are very pleased with them.

Getting The Food You Want
One of the many attractive traits about us dogs is that we are enthusiastic omnivores. We genuinely enjoy food, appreciating the rich diversity of nature's
bounty. Our ancestors bred that trait into humans, no doubt because if humans' food inclinations replicated ours, it would be all the easier to train
them to hunt and gather for us. Generally speaking, this strategy has worked brilliantly: In their eagerness to serve, humans typically provide us
excellent fare.
One of the benefits of modernity is the vast range of food choices humans have developed for us. The variety of packaged cuisine is far better than it
was a mere thirty years ago-without question the result of more advanced training of people by dogs. Choices now include an interesting range of dry
and pre-moistened "kibble," meaty "patties," tasty canned products; and a delightful array of fresh meats and delicacies.
Packaged foods are now made to suit a wide array of canine life circumstances. For example, a leading maker presently offers balanced blends for "The Large
Dog," "The Puppy," "Active Maturity," and "Weight Loss." Well-placed sources indicate that a "Post-Menopausal Treats" product is on the horizon, and
a pre-exercise energy bar has been recently introduced.
Most humans will make a principled effort to provide you with excellent prepared or custom foods. However, some are uninformed about canine nutrition;
others are simply cheap; still others attempt foolishly to impose their dietary neuroses on you. For all these, corrective training is required.
Table Food
Although most canines prefer to have their meals served privately, others are willing–at least some of the time–to share food with their humans. Human
"table food" varies widely in quality. A regrettably high percentage of humans are incompetent in food preparation. Thus, if you are inclined to grace
the human table with your presence, do so judiciously until you determine whether or not their cuisine is worth eating.
Most humans will instinctively offer you samples of their food. Some do not, either out of that peculiar human sense of unworthiness, fear of offending
you, or discomfort with your appearance at the "servants" table." To help overcome such inhibitions, use the Physical Cues described earlier. Humans
at the table find the Ear Lift, Head Tilt, and fast Horizontal Tail Movement irresistible. Should you feel the portions offered are too small, apply
the Paw Pull to the human foreleg.
People greatly appreciate praise, and excellent preparation of food is certainly worth a reward. If you are pleased with your person's cooking, feel free
to mimic that peculiar "mmmm …" sound humans make when they enjoy the taste of food. With our higher-pitched vocal chords, the sound you make will
be perceived by the human ear as an endearing "whine."
If you are especially fond of a particular dish, you can give your person exceptional praise through Physical Cues: sitting up on hind legs, rolling over,
or other enthusiastic gestures. Humans deeply appreciate such generous displays of approval.

Latest Printing Shipments Reflect Rebound
July's inflation-adjusted US commercial printing shipments continued to outshine prior year shipment levels. This was the best July since 2008 on a current dollar basis and since 2010 on an inflation-adjusted basis. On average, monthly industry shipments have been about $200 million higher than the year before. They are also tracking closer to GDP growth rates, a feat the industry has not done for almost two decades.

Corporations are increasingly relying on data to learn about customers, invest in new products and services, adjust sales and marketing activities, and assess new market opportunities. This article discusses the challenges that marketers face in today's data-driven world.
Q2 GDP Revised Up, Bigger Rebound from Q1... But What's Ahead?
The first report of Q2-2015 real GDP was +2.3%, and now it's been raised to +3.7%, well ahead of forecaster expectations. On a longer-term year-to-year basis, the growth rate is +2.5%, still almost a full percentage point below post-WW2 average.
Longer term rate +2.5%. The effects of inventory increases is still a major factor in the growth, but there were other positives in the report implying that Q2 was broadly better than originally thought. There are concerns among professional forecasters that the inventory buildup will result in slower growth as those stockpiles are reduced. Considering that two thirds of the third quarter is almost complete, we know that international trade is being disrupted by currency and solvency issues in China and other countries. The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta GDPNow estimates that third quarter GDP will be at +1.4%. Please also note a recent chart where we showed important key indicators that have yet to surpass their recession levels from Q4-2007.

Inflation Multipliers Updated
Inflation is supposedly tame, but if you're making comparisons of current year financial data to prior years, you still need to adjust for the years when inflation was not. The chart was created from Consumer Price Index data for each of the years specified. When looking at your company history, multiply your data for each year by the multiplier specified. This will give you an approximation for the effects of inflation on your business, and make your historical analysis, especially in the process of budgeting, to be more realistic. Adjusting your data, even in periods of claimed low inflation, creates a sense of more urgent action. Inflation means that to stay at the same level you actually need more dollars. Staying the same is actually a cut.
Motivating Your Team to Use the Print MIS
The data that you rely on from the Print MIS will only be useful and reliable if it is complete and accurate. So, how do you encourage your team to participate completely and consistently in the Print MIS?

Cameras may yield clues to London attacks
Thousands of closed-circuit TVs monitor city's subway system
Surveillance cameras like this one in Westminster are a common sight on London's streets and in its subway system.
The Associated Press
Updated: 7:44 p.m. ET July 7, 2005
LONDON - Closed-circuit TV cameras track people in the British capital almost everywhere they go. Now, those recordings could help police determine who staged Thursday's bloody subway and bus explosions.
More than 6,000 cameras monitor the Underground subway network and 1,800 watch the city's train stations. Cameras also have been installed on some London buses.
In addition, more people carry pocket-size digital cameras and camera cell phones, and footage taken inside subway cars had found its way to British TV by Thursday afternoon.
"Clearly we've had considerable success in the past using closed-circuit television footage to trace the movements of people involved" in various crimes, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Brian Paddick said after the attacks.
Screening the footage will be one of the first priorities for police, as important as securing forensic evidence from the scene, he said.
An estimated 4.2 million cameras ― largely concentrated in London and other major cities ―observe Britons as they go about their daily business, whether they're waiting for a bus, riding a train, lining up at a bank or parking a car in a public garage.
Britain turned to closed-circuit TV monitoring to deter and help solve terror attacks by the Irish Republican Army, after deadly IRA bombings in London in 1992 and 1993.
More and more 'eyes' on Britons
The cameras became more prevalent as technology became more affordable. Today, it is widely estimated that the average Briton is caught on various cameras up to 300 times on a normal day.
The ubiquitous security cameras have given Britain a reputation as a world leader in surveillance. They also have inspired criticism that the constant monitoring resembles the Orwellian concept of "Big Brother."

In Britain, somebody's watching you
Some critics say the system is of limited use, because the monitoring screens at the command post aren't closely watched in real time. That means police rarely use the footage to stop a crime in progress but only for investigations afterward.
But screening the footage has become part of routine police operations ― and with some success. Closed-circuit video helped resolve several high-profile investigations last year: a 12-year-old boy who robbed a store at gunpoint; the disappearance of a doctor; attacks by a serial rapist; a father and son hit by a train; a series of school laptop computer thefts; and a soccer riot.

Panasonic demoed their Smart Home concept at CEATEC this week. Smart Home seems to be an integrated system that controls the electronics in your house, from lighting to air conditioning to multimedia. Even the television will slide to follow you around, which actually looks sort of creepy and desperate.
The mirror isn't a mirror at all but a huge touch-based LCD equipped with cameras, so you can touch icons of clothes and see an animation of how you would look without having to try them on. This is the first step towards robopocalypse, if you ask me, but the models in their pristine all-white apartment don't look too scared.

SAJE Ideas
SAJE Ideas is a communications strategy company. We help companies better define who they are by helping them redefine their company positioning or by training their employees to be better communicators on the company or the products/services they sell. We go in at the top end - CEO, VP marketing, etc... and completely look at the whole company, how it is positioning itself, what it's missing, where it's missing it's audience, etc... and then come back with content, training, feedback from customers/partners, and what ever else is necessary based on our initial view. It's a completely unique company, headed up by two directors, Steve and Andrea, and the SAJE is a combination of our initials Steve Johnson and Andrea Edwards. Unfortunately in Australia SAJE wasn't available to register and the Web name was gone, so we had to go with SAJE Ideas.
We set up SAJE because we recognised a huge gap in the market for this sort of service. Our culture is truly international as we have both lived and worked all over the world. The personality we convey is that we are not bound by rules, we don't do things like anyone else, we're highly principled + have strong values, we are strong, independent and represent the dream that many say they want but are scared of - i.e. working for ourselves, living on the water, work when we want to and focused on balance and spending time with our boys.
Our target audience are senior level executive decision makers in any dynamic organisation that are ready to take their company to a new level - to make their business stand out from the crowd. The sort of people we work with appreciate the value of the sort of work we do - so we don't need to "sell" ourselves too aggressively, although we expect that may change moving forward as we expand to win newer clients in different fields. So far, we've focused on IT companies + professional services and marketing companies, but in the future we will be focusing on some conservative industries, such as the construction and the defence sectors. We don't work with people only focused on money because they don't see the big picture. We work with people focused on making their company or product/service better and we can help them to do that. We also work with mature people who don't get in a frazzle over something insignificant, so that is something important to us, as people who get caught up in tiny details aren't the sort of people we want to work with - it's our job to focus on the detail!
We are looking for a very funky and distinctive corporate logo. The company name is a bit boring, but means something to us, so we need the logo to make it special.
Our corporate colours are red, black and silver.
The company name = SAJE Ideas
SAJE needs to be in caps
Ideas - we had to add this on and want it beside SAJE in the tiniest letters possible - we need to be able to read it, but it's not important to us. It just needs to be there
Our tag line is - "Gift of the Gab" and this needs to be incorporated in the logo
The J in SAJE needs to read like a J but could be seen as a G - the reason, SAGE = wisdom and even though we had to write SAJE to match our initials, we figure we can play with the graphics to make it look like either.
I'm a big fantasy reader and think a dragon incoporated in the logo would be great. But no Chinese or Japanese designs, I prefer the fantasy style. It needs to look wise and gentle, not aggressive. Also would love it to have wings.
I also like the Merkabah symbol - the five pointed star but it would have to be truly beautiful to work for me in the logo.
I am really open to any suggestions of symbols that mean wisdom or success or mythological symbols, it can't be too feminine tho! Strong and powerful but not feminine or masculine - a balance.
Hope that's helpful and excited to see any designs that might come in.

18-year-old Brook Searcy has just begun her first year at the Air Force Academy. Abandoned by her mother and raised by a loving yet distant father, Brook has surprised her traditional East Coast family by deciding to enter a completely foreign world—the military. At the Academy she encounters both friends and terrifying foes, and experiences both first love and terrible loss as her relationships with her fellow cadets grow. Commandant John Waller, a former fighter pilot, has made the Air Force his life for nearly twenty years. His career couldn-t be in better shape, but he finds himself drifting away from his wife and daughters. And when a new (and female) Superintendent who-s never flown a plane becomes Waller-s new boss, he worries that the institution that he-s shaped his life around might be slipping away as well.Over the course of two years, terrible scandals and heartbreaking tragedy touch both Brook and Waller-s lives—forcing them to make wrenching decisions that will shape both their careers and their lives.

After the passing of the Motor Car Act in 1903, it was almost impossible to go anywhere in a motor car without receiving summonses for exceeding - sometimes by a mere fraction - the legal speed limit of twenty miles an hour. To meet the situation some motorists organized and maintained at their own expense a few cyclists on the London-Brighton road whose task it was to warn all passing motorists of "police traps." In August, 1905, the work was put on a permanent basis and the Automobile Association came into existence with exactly ninety subscribers.

JaMarcus Russell dropped the weight. He landed an NFL tryout. It reportedly went well. Now he waits.
Michael C. Wright of ESPNChicago.com reported that Russell drew "positive reviews" for his Friday workout with the Chicago Bears, according to a source at the session.
The source said that Russell showed a "big arm," had a "good, positive demeanor" and made it clear he had worked himself back into shape. Russell's timing and accuracy weren't always there, but the source said the former No. 1 overall draft pick was solid considering the circumstances.
(No word if the workout included any blank DVD trickery.)
Despite the positive report, Wright believes it's unlikely Russell will be signed by the Bears, who also worked out Jordan Palmer and Trent Edwards on Friday. Jay Cutler, Josh McCown and Matt Blanchard already are on the Bears' roster, and the team doesn't plan on carrying four quarterbacks.
Still, positive buzz about Russell's performance should position him for another workout with a team that's less secure in its QB depth chart. It's more undeniable progress in a comeback attempt that continues to gain momentum.

Investigating the RedZee Search EngineBlog Post: October 14, 2005
I'm seeing the exact same referrer in my logs, the admin.redzee.com/pluginhtml/RedzeeSearch.aspx. Really bloody annoying too, since it is causing some of our brower statistics to get messed up (higer-than-they-should be unknown users). They call us right now on an almost weekly basis, quoting things like how their "top 3" program overcomes the aversion that users have for clicking on the kind of ppc ads on G, Y!, etc. Apparently they miss the point; PPC is SUPPOSED to be separate. Organic listing are supposed to be objective, so paying for position is exactly opposed to that ideal. Makes me want to punch someone through the phone.

It Is All About BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
After trying out PTS mining at ypool we have also decided to try out another Protoshares mining pool with CPU mining to see if we are going to get better results with the Round-Based Pay Per Share (RBPPS) payment system and the lower 3.5% fee that the 1GH PTS mining pool has. We've been testing the pool with GPU miners lately, however for the last 24 hours we tested only with CPU miners to see what profit we are going to get.
The two CPUs we've used for mining are:
– Intel Core i5 2500K Quad Core 3.3 GHz
– AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Six Core 3.3 GHz
The 1GH pool we used for PTS mining has:
– 3.5% fee
The total earnings for 24 hour period (confirmed + unconfirmed):
The value of the Protoshares mined for 24 hours is as follows:
The profit we got from the 1GH PTS mining pool was a bit higher than the one we've managed to get for 24 hours at ypool, however the difference in USD is also affected by the BTC/USD and PTS/BTC exchange rates. What is clear however is the fact that there is not much point in mining Protoshares (PTS) with CPU at the moment, if you plan on mining Protoshares then you need to think about going for GPU mining. The 1GH Protoshares mining pool has a very good performing GPU miner that works on both AMD graphics and Nvidia graphics very well. Furthermore the 1GH pool has another advantage over ypool and that s the fact that this pool sends automatically your earnings as long as they are over 0.1 PTS confirmed and in ypool the minimum is 1 PTS.

The supplement called spirulina consists of one or more members of a family of blue-green algae. The name was inspired by the spiral shapes in which these plants array themselves as they grow. 1 Other blue-green algae products are also available on the market, and they are discussed in this article as well.
Spirulina grows in the wild in salty lakes in Mexico and on the African continent. It reproduces quickly, and because the individual plants tend to stick together, it is easy to harvest. Records of the Spanish conquistadors suggest that the Aztecs used spirulina as a food source; we also know that the Kanembu people of Central Africa harvested it from what is now called Lake Chad.
This plant contains high levels of various B vitamins, beta-carotene , other carotenoids, and minerals, including calcium , iron , magnesium , manganese , potassium , and zinc . It is also a source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) . Spirulina is a rich source of protein—dried spirulina contains up to 70% protein by weight 2 —but you'd have to eat an awful lot of spirulina capsules to obtain a significant amount of protein this way. Spirulina also contains vitamin B 12 , a nutrient otherwise found almost exclusively in animal foods. However, there's a catch: the B 12 in spirulina is not absorbable. 3
Spirulina has not been proven effective for any medical condition, and there are significant safety concerns involving all forms of blue-green algae (see Safety Issues ).
Unless you live within 35 degrees of the equator and on the shores of an alkaline lake, you will have difficulty finding spirulina anywhere but in a health food store. Most carry a number of brands of spirulina that has been dried and processed into powder or tablets.
Therapeutic Dosages
Researchers studying spirulina's effects on health have used a variety of doses, ranging from 1 to 8.4 g daily.
Therapeutic Uses
There is no question that spirulina is a nutritious food, but it isn't cheap. 4 Protein can be obtained much more easily and inexpensively from legumes, nuts, grains, and animal foods; iron from dark greens, prunes, and meat; and carotenes and vitamins from standard fruits and vegetables.
Spirulina might have other specific therapeutic uses beyond general nutritional support, but the evidence supporting these recommendations is highly preliminary at best.
Manufacturers of spirulina supplements sometimes claim that the plant can reduce appetite, thereby helping overweight individuals control their food intake. However, one small double-blind study of spirulina for weight loss failed to find a significant difference between spirulina and placebo treatment. 5
One small double-blind trial did find evidence that a blue-green algae called Chlorella pyrenoidosa might be useful for fibromyalgia . 6
It is commonly stated that spirulina and related products can enhance immunity . 15-17 However, most of the evidence supporting this statement is too weak to mean much; the one meaningful trial, a double-blind study of 124 healthy adults, failed to find that chlorella supplements enhanced the immune response to influenza vaccine. 37
Evidence from animal studies, preliminary human trials and one small double-blind, placebo-controlled study suggests that spirulina or other forms of algae might improve cholesterol profile. 7-9,38
Very preliminary evidence hints that spirulina may help prevent cancer . 10-12
Test tube and animal studies suggest that spirulina might have some activity against the HIV, but much more research needs to be done before we could say that spirulina is helpful against HIV infection . 13,14
Highly preliminary evidence suggests that spirulina or other blue-green algae products may counter allergic reactions, such as hay fever and hives , 18,19,39,40 help protect the liver from toxic chemicals, 20,21 reduce blood pressure , 22 and control symptoms of ulcerative colitis .
Despite widespread publicity, there is no evidence that spirulina is useful for attention deficit disorder .
What Is the Scientific Evidence for Spirulina?
There are no well-documented uses of spirulina.
Fibromyalgia is a common chronic condition whose main symptoms are specific tender points on various parts of the body, widespread musculoskeletal discomfort, morning stiffness, fatigue, and disturbed sleep. The cause of fibromyalgia is not known, and current treatments are far from completely satisfactory.
A recent study suggests that the nutritious algae Chlorella pyrenoidosa might be helpful. 23 In this double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 37 people with fibromyalgia were given either placebo or chlorella supplements at a dose of 10 g daily. At the end of 3 months, individuals were switched to the opposite group, and then treated for an additional 3 months. The results showed significant improvements in symptoms when participants used chlorella as compared to placebo.
Weight Loss
A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial investigated the possible weight loss effects of spirulina. 24 However, while individuals taking 8.4 g of spirulina daily lost weight, the difference between the spirulina group and the placebo group was not statistically significant . Larger and longer studies are needed to establish whether spirulina is indeed an effective treatment for obesity.
Safety Issues
Spirulina itself appears to be nontoxic. 25 Studies in rats showed that high spirulina intake caused no weight reduction or toxicity symptoms in rats, nor did spirulina affect the rats' ability to reproduce normally. 26,27
Nevertheless, there are areas of serious concern for consumers.
Various forms of blue-green algae can be naturally contaminated with highly toxic substances called microcystins. 30,31,35
Some states, such as Oregon, require producers to strictly limit the concentration of microcystins in blue-green algae products, but the same protections cannot be assumed to have been applied to all products on the market. Furthermore, the maximum safe intake of microcystins is not clear, and it is possible that when blue-green algae is used for a long time, toxic effects might build up. Long-term use by children raises particular concerns, especially in light of the widely popularized, but unsubstantiated belief, that blue-green algae is useful for attention deficit disorder.
Blue-green algae can also contain a different kind of highly toxic substance, called anatoxin. 36
In addition, when spirulina is grown with the use of fermented animal waste fertilizers, contamination with dangerous bacteria could occur. 28,32 There are also concerns that spirulina might concentrate radioactive ions found in its environment. 29 Probably of most concern is spirulina's ability to absorb and concentrate heavy metals such as lead and mercury if they are present in its environment. One study of spirulina samples grown in a number of locations found them to contain an unacceptably high content of these toxic metals. 33 However, a second study on this topic claims that the first used an unreliable method of analyzing heavy metal content, 34 and concludes that a person would have to eat more than 77 g daily of the most heavily contaminated spirulina to reach unsafe mercury and lead consumption levels.
These researchers, however, go on to suggest that it is not prudent to eat more than 50 g of spirulina daily. The reason they give is that the plant contains a high concentration of nucleic acids, substances related to DNA. When these are metabolized, they create uric acid, which could cause gout or kidney stones. This is of special concern to those who have already had uric acid stones or attacks of gout.
The safety of spirulina in pregnant and nursing women, young children, and individuals with kidney or liver disease has not been determined.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 285 diseños de 52 diseñadores freelance.
Evoke Computers
Evoke Computers is a new company with new ideas about computing. Our core ideals are:
1. Specialization/Customization - the ability to "Evoke" a feeling of who you are through your computer. We offer many unique services to make the computer completely yours.
2. Environmentalism - Reuse/Recycle. We offer a buyback of people's computers and also sell refurbished secondhand computers. We also focus on building our new computers to meet energystar's highest requirements.
3. Local service - We make sure that all service is done locally, with people you can talk to face to face, instead of through mindless phone recording systems.
We sell different kinds of computers for different types of people. Young people like the ability to customize the appearance of their computers to show who they are, while the urban 25-35 year old crowd care about our focus on the environment.
Almost everyone seems to appreciate our focus on local service!
Since I am focused on the unique I need a unique design.
The main color should be bright, attention grabbing, but yet easy to match with basic colors, since most cases have a white or black base color.
I am mostly looking for designs that just use the word "Evoke", but eventually might want to see some that incorporate the word "computers" after narrowing down the contest. Eventually I would also like some with the question "What does your computer Evoke?" attached.
The word Evoke must be very clear.
If possible a design incorporating some kind of symbol which suggests continuity, to show the idea of recycling/reusing would be nice.
I will provide constant feedback.
I would like to receive all of the final designs of the winning designer, not just one.
