I was searching in Assam Spider which resources have been posted, so that I don't post any duplicate resources. However, the search function was not working; it always displayed zero results.

Hence, I suggest that you check and work on the Search Function, so that it becomes easier to search for the resources.

As we embark on our tenth
anniversary of chamber music camp excellence, we have been filled with a flood
of emotions. When the Ashtons, Mindy
Hillman, and us began this journey in 2001, we had no idea what a huge impact
it would have in the lives of the students who attended or in our own lives. As with all great things, the music camp had
to pass through a great deal of tribulation and opposition during its formative
years. The first annual Mountains &
Strings was equivalent to laying train tracks just seconds before the train's passing over them. Since we were only 23 years old Brian Ashton and
I were inexperienced in matters of business to say the least. We were so excited that we just knew the details
were going to fall into place.
Obviously, some reconciling of differences was in order, since Brian had
at least been to a music camp before and I had only dreamt of one and seen a
documentary on Itzhak Perlman�s summer music program. Due to the fact that Brian and I were willing
to talk things out and reason together no matter how strange our ideas seemed
to each other, our differing points of view soon formed into the foundation of
a very unique music camp experience. As
ideas became reality, we began to see that each of our respective visions was much
more far reaching than either of us could have anticipated. This led to a wonderful, even unexpected
outcome. My sights had been set on how
to give the students the experiences that I had missed out on in my own life
and tailor them to fit the needs of students regardless of the level to which
they had been Suzukiyzed. His vision,
although, mind boggling to me at the time, included involving the students in
outdoor activities that would teach them principles of leadership and team work. These are but a few of the principles upon
which Mountains & Strings was founded.
have asked, �Why the name �Mountains & Strings Chamber Music Retreat?�� That is a good question. As all of us were brainstorming names, we agreed
pretty easily that the name should include the words �Chamber Music Retreat� because
we wanted it to be different than any old music camp. The funny thing is that to this day we always
call it �The Music Camp� when planning it or discussing it. We spent quite a few days on the main title. One of the names we liked but discarded was �White
Pine Chamber Music Retreat,� because it just didn�t sound right. One day when I came home for lunch, KaraLyn
listed off some names she had thought of.
I can�t remember what they all were, but when she said the words �Mountains
& Strings,� we both broke out laughing because it sounded like �Mountains
& Streams� or �Mountains and Springs.�
After rolling around on the floor for a while (I know it doesn�t sound
funny now, but for some reason it really tickled our funny bones), I got up off
the floor and it just hit me, �Why not �Mountains & Strings?� it sounds
funny at first, but it has a certain ring to it.� We talked about it and soon everyone had
agreed that �Mountains & Strings� was a perfect name. Even now, people misunderstand the name and
call it �Mountain & Strings,� and other close approximations.
first year, we secured a lodge called �Pine Basin Lodge,� which was in the
mountains above Swan
Valley. We charged $130.00 for the week, but we only spent
3 days at the lodge and finished the camp out in Rexburg. It wasn�t ideal, but the scenery was still
beautiful. Even with that tuition price,
we had to literally beg people to send their students. Of course, most of our own students came,
which was why we wanted to have a music camp in the first place. We ended up with 40 students, and I will
never forget how I felt when we loaded them onto the bus and started driving
towards the lodge. We just kept looking
back over all of the students that were chattering, giggling, and getting to
know each other, and I just kept saying, �This is all our fault! These kids are
all here because of us!� I know it
sounds cheesy now, but we were excited.
We had sent Mindy and Natalie ahead in our van to meet the Sysco food
truck which had already gone to the lodge and left because no one was there. When
we got to the lodge, there was no food truck and no food, yet we knew it had
passed us on the way there. Mindy and Natalie ended up having to chase it down
and get it to turn around and bring back the food. When the bus arrived, it soon became evident
that the lodge was locked and that we had no way in. It soon began to snow, and we realized we
were all going to die. I climbed up on
the roof and tried to call our contact who was supposed to meet us there. I can�t remember how we eventually got in,
but we did. Our first meal was exciting,
since we all had to share the same fork.
One would eat, and then we would wash the fork and pass it on. Natalie & Mindy had gone on to Driggs to
secure some other things that we had forgotten, but we had not thought about
silverware. We had assumed that the lodge
would be equipped with such things. I
found a little room up in the lodge where I could get cell phone reception,
called the grocery store in Driggs. I
asked if there was anyone in the store named �Mindy Hillman� or �Natalie
Ashton.� It turns out they were actually
finishing checking out and about to leave.
I told them that they had better buy some

What does health research mean to you?
When I think of health research, I think of all the noteworthy initiatives being undertaken by organizations like the Health Sciences North Research Institute (HSNRI) in the areas of cancer care, heathy ageing, infectious diseases, and northern and indigenous health. HSNRI has demonstrated that health research is not just about generating knowledge, it is about using research outcomes for action – to guide policy and program development and to find sustainable solutions to the most pressing health challenges faced by its stakeholders.
Health research has led to innovations like new therapies that reduce the need for in-hospital care, new devices that track patient diagnostics in order to prevent catastrophic health events, and more effective drugs that improve our quality of life. Health research in mining has led to safer workplaces. These are just a few examples of how health research has transformed the quality of our health care system.
As a business association, we believe that to realize the full potential of the health sector, we need to support health research through its various stages, right up to commercialization and adoption. Collaboration with industry and other partners, embracing leading technologies, and ensuring that research is put in the hands of policy makers, is essential to guarantying health research translates into effective health care action. The commercialization of research is critical.
How does health research contribute to a healthier, wealthier, smarter Ontario?
Let's start with healthier: leading-edge research has contributed to pioneering practices in advancing patient care as well as treating illness. Think about how the discovery of insulin treatment for diabetes and the electric wheelchair – two Canadian discoveries resulting from revolutionary health research – have impacted patient care. Health research also plays a vital role in prevention and continuous health care quality improvement.
In terms of wealthier and smarter: the figures often reported state that every $1 spent on hospital research generates an estimated $3 in economic output. When one looks at the impact of heath research here in Sudbury, you can see that job creation, the attraction of top talent from around the world, economic diversification, and innovative partnerships between research institutions, academia and industry, are some of the positive outcomes. All these initiatives will contribute to a wealthier Sudbury and Ontario. Health research has enhanced our community's knowledge economy allowing us to compete on an international scale.
Health spending in Ontario consumes nearly half of the provincial budget. Our health care system is facing a series of challenges including a population that is aging and increasingly suffering from chronic illnesses. Health research can play an important role in leading partnerships with academia and industry to innovate and find solutions to increase efficiencies and enhance the sustainability of our health care system into the future. The Sudbury chamber has partnered with the Ontario Chamber of Commerce on a year-long health transformation initiative that looks at the challenges facing the health care system and has made recommendations for health care reform. We have released a series of reports focused on issues such as innovation in health care, supporting the health sciences sectors, and models for collaboration. These reports can be found at http://www.occ.ca/advocacy/health-transformation-initiative/.
Feel free to reach out to us at the chamber (email@example.com) or tweet us @SudburyCofC to share your thoughts on how you think we as a business association can better support health research and the sustainability of the health care sector.
All the best,

In this edition of workLIFE@ACU, we talk to Student Counsellor Shannon Thompson from our Ballarat campus. Shannon talks about the transitional challenges for students and how an innovative Peer Leadership Program helps them to engage with university life, through a mission-based focus on outreach and inclusion.
Psychologist Shannon Thompson has spent nearly a decade working at ACU's Ballarat campus. Along with her 20+ years of clinical practice, Shannon brings a rich variety of professional experience to ACU. She has previously worked in teaching settings, as well as in a range of community health promotion and primary prevention services. She has also worked in child psychiatry, and in youth mental health services for 'at risk' adolescents grappling with substance use and being homeless.
"I think this has equipped me with valuable experience regarding the various issues faced by young people, and especially an awareness of the complex challenges that can often affect clients from lower socio-economic backgrounds," Shannon said.
Her current role as an ACU Student Counsellor has been the longest role of her career, and she says it's her love of working with our vibrant student population and the scope for developing new ways to serve their needs which has kept her passionate about her work.
Around 70% of students at ACU Ballarat are from regional and rural areas she says, and relocating away from their family and friends can make the initial transition to University life challenging. Many students juggle a range of responsibilities, alongside the need to support themselves financially.
"Most of our students work a minimum of 12 hours a week, and also need to dedicate at least 35 hours to study. In addition, our nursing, paramedic and education students complete clinical placements, which can mean taking substantial breaks from their paid employment, travelling significant distances and covering accommodation costs," she said.
She says many students seek counselling in the first semester of their first year, as it is common it is to feel stressed when adjusting to university. She reminds students that they are able to seek counseling for any concern or life event that adversely affects their wellbeing, it does not need to be directly related to study.
"We offer a confidential, non-judgmental space for students to reflect on areas of concern, and assist them to develop strategies to manage their personal challenges. This in turn assists them to focus on their academic pursuits and achieve at their full potential."
Being the sole Student Counsellor on her campus has not stopped Shannon from forging strong relationships with colleagues across the University, including those within the Office of Student Success, Equity Pathways and Campus Ministry. She says she really enjoys these collaborations and the inclusive community focus that underpins ACU's approach to student wellbeing.
After commencing at ACU, Shannon could see a gap in connecting new students with support services on campus. This led her to develop an innovative Peer Leadership Network Program, which recruits second-year students who volunteer to mentor to first-year students and act as conduit to support services on campus.
"Research tells us that students who are having difficulties are more likely to approach their peers than a professional. So we thought it would beneficial from Day One of Orientation Week to connect new students with senior students who have successfully navigated the hurdles of first year."
"In line with the ACU Mission, we discuss the importance of reaching out to others who may be feeling marginalised and would benefit from some support. We discuss issues such as the importance of respecting people's value systems and weave it into the ACU Graduate Attributes, as the volunteers are developing their leadership skills. During Orientation Week, the Peer Leaders take new students to meet the staff in the Office of Student Success and explain what support services are available. The Peer Leaders also host a welcome dinner and informal coffee catchups with the new students in first semester to foster connection and establish social networks."
Shannon says the program has helped to reduce attrition rates and is very popular with the student volunteers, some of whom stay involved in the program into their third or fourth year at ACU. Similar programs have now been rolled out on other ACU campuses.
Primary prevention activities are also a key pillar of supporting wellbeing for university students. Shannon says the peak age of onset for a serious mental illness is between 16-25 years old, and around 25% of students meet the criteria for a clinical diagnosis.
"We know that if someone is grappling with mental health issues, the sooner it is recognised and treated, the less overall impact it will have on their life and ongoing wellbeing," she said.
With the aim of increasing early detection and intervention, Shannon piloted the Mental Health First Aid training program on Ballarat campus in 2012. To date, Shannon has conducted 14 training workshops with approximately 40 Academic and Professional staff, and with groups of students. The program has now also been rolled out nationally on other ACU campuses.
"Mental Health First Aid involves a 12-hour workshop which aims to equip staff and students with factual information about depression, anxiety, psychosis and substance misuse and to reduce associated stigma. It helps participants develop their confidence to approach individuals who may be having mental health difficulties, and to raise awareness of key support services available in the community."
"In Ballarat we primarily have education and health sciences students, these are our future nurses, paramedics and teachers. The skills they learn from the workshops are imperative in their future employment, to assist their peers and the populations they will be engaging with."

Gavin DeGraw recovering after attack in New York
Singer-songwriter Gavin DeGraw was recovering Tuesday in a New York hospital after being attacked and beaten by three men early Monday morning, then getting hit by a cab about a mile away from the scuffle.
The attack occurred around 4 a.m. in New York City's East Village, shortly after the musician parted ways with some drinking buddies. DeGraw suffered a concussion, broken nose, black eyes, cuts and bruises, his publicist said.
After the "pack of thugs" -- that's the New York Post's description -- fled, DeGraw continued walking until he was hit, though not seriously injured, by a cab.
Police said a 911 caller reported that a man with blood on his shirt who appeared to be "heavily intoxicated" needed help, according to People. Police sources told the mag that DeGraw's recollections are clouded by his head injuries and the possibility that he was not sober during the attack, and said that "some kind of argument" had occurred between the strangers and the singer.
DeGraw was said to be in stable condition at Bellevue Hospital on Tuesday.
The guy who hit the mainstream when his song "I Don't Wanna Be" was picked as the "One Tree Hill" theme has been touring as the opening act for Train and Maroon 5. Singer-songwriter Nikki Jean will fill DeGraw's shoes at the tour's Tuesday stop in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., according to TMZ.
The singer's rep issued a statement on Tuesday afternoon that DeGraw has also canceled performances scheduled for Friday and Saturday.

One alternative in water shortage situations are artificial water storage means such as reservoirs. The origin of these waters is diverse, and includes rainfall, springs, runoff water and a long etcetera, which is unable to guarantee environmental quality.
Similarly, the behaviour of the reservoir itself has a considerable effect on the quality of the water stored in it.
Adasa has developed the aquaDam system, an automatic system for monitoring the quality of reservoir waters, and an essential tool in the comprehensive management of this resource and the optimisation of operation. aquaDam ensures quality control in real time and defines the ideal extraction depth of the water, depending on its final use. Particularly useful for optimising the collection point in cases of supply to drinking water plants.

The Kühl Durango™ Skort is so versatile, I could wear it every day when travelling, or simply hanging out, going to the market, hiking or biking. The skort features a water-resistant fabric with a slight stretch making it comfortable for long active days. Recently on a small ship through the Hawaiian islands, I wore it to sightsee, hike and wade through two streams, knowing I didn't have to worry about ruining my skort.
If I could sum up everything I was looking for in a skort, this one meets all the criteria and more. Any piece of clothing I own from Kuhl, it's the attention to detail and comfort that keeps me going back for more. The skort quality is excellent, very comfy and flexible for any activity. UPF 50 provides sun protection and internal ultra-soft lightweight shorts are made of breathable yarn, making them feel barely there, especially important in the sweltering sun. There is an envelope pocket for a key or ID, a wide-rib knit waistband that actually fits at the waist with an internal draw cord to customize fit. There is hidden zipper pocket under the back waistband and a sideseam draw cord cinches to shorten the hem giving it a ruched effect. Fashion and function all in one. Available in carbon, breen and khaki.

I then draw the desired space and measure the area - This process is more accurate if you have a site plan to scale.
I take photographs of the entire area - taking into account anomalies such as contours , existing trees etc.
I then take this information and draw a scale diagram with all the details of your new garden/landscape as well as provide photos of suggested plants and materials required along with more detailed side drawings depicting the more intricate details.
The plan you receive will have all the information you need to start getting landscaping quotes - We will also include a quote for us to complete your project.
I will come back to you as many times as it takes to ensure the design you are given suits your requirements and family needs, at no extra cost.


text: Towel rails are no longer a luxury in your bathroom. They are now commonplace and have the benefit of warming your towels but also as a great decorative piece on your wall. They are quite efficient in producing heat but they will not heat up a bathroom as well as a standard radiator. Some important considerations when buying a heated towel rail is the size of the room that its being installed in. As a rule of thumb, the larger the room the larger the towel rail that will be required as they generally will then have a higher BTU output.

This is not your average, dense cheesecake. No, no! Japanese Cheesecake is made using a cream cheese, egg yolk batter that gets folded into sweet meringue. The result is an almost soufflé like sponge cake that jiggles and is amazingly fluffy. Sprinkled with powdered sugar alone, topped with berries or a compote, it's delightful!
Japanese Cheesecake is like nothing you've ever tried before, is similar in name with the American version, but the texture of fluffy to jiggly come to mind, where the typical American cheesecake is dense and tangy in flavor.
Light, airy and made with sweet meringue folded into a cream cheese, egg yolk batter that then bakes in a water bath. This is a must try!
This Japanese Cheesecake is a sight to be seen as it's placed on the table. Jiggling and shaking like it's made of Jello, this is one stand up cake that is sure to impress.
What's in Japanese Cheesecake?
It starts with cream cheese, butter and cream melted and whisked together until smooth. After it's cooled it's whisked in beaten egg yolks. Flour and cornstarch are whisked in until a smooth batter is formed. I like to add a little vanilla and lemon zest for a punch of flavor.
Egg whites and sugar get whipped to peak form and then are folded into the cream cheese egg batter.
Line that baking pan with parchment paper and bake in a water bath. This rises. And rises!
Not your typical cheesecake, no. It's almost soufflé like and similar to a spongecake in texture.
Besides the fun, jiggly dimension this tall, fluffy cake delivers as it's placed on the table, the taste is light and with a dusting of powdered sugar on top this is a wonderful dessert. I made a quick blueberry sauce and topped each slice with a spoonful. I hope you give this one a try.
For other cheesecake treats, try my Maple Bacon Cheesecake Bites, Pumpkin Cheesecake Parfaits, or for some "No Bake" ones these Peach Cheesecake Bars, Strawberry Cheesecake Cups or a Cheesecake Fig Tart. Enjoy!
Fluffy Japanese Cheesecake
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 6 tbsp butter
- ⅔ cup heavy cream
- 8 egg yolks
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1 lemon (zest only)
- ¼ cup flour
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 12 egg whites
- 1 cup sugar
Berry Topping
- 8 oz berries of choice
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp water
For the Berry Compote
- In a small saucepan add the berries, sugar and water. Stir over medium heat until berries start to burst. Turn to low and simmer until thickened and reduced. Set aside.
For the Cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk the cream cheese, butter and heavy cream until smooth. Remove from heat and cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth, then slowly drizzle in the cooled cream cheese mixture, stirring until evenly combined. Whisk in the vanilla and lemon zest to combine. Sift in the flour and cornstarch, whisking to avoid any lumps.
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites until you see soft peaks. Slowly add the sugar while continuing to beat until you see hard, shiny peaks form.
- Take a third of the egg whites and fold them into the cream cheese egg yolk mixture, then repeat with the remaining egg whites until the batter is thoroughly combined.
- Line the bottom and sides of a 9x3 inch cake pan being sure sides are 4 inches tall. If using a springform pan, be sure to wrap the bottom and sides completely in foil to prevent any leaking of batter.
- Pour the batter into the parchment-lined pan and shake on counter top to release air bubbles.
- Place the filled pan into a roasting pan or dish lined with a tea towel or 2 paper towels at the bottom. Fill the larger pan with one inch of hot water. Bake for 25 minutes, reduce the heat to 280°F, and bake for another 55 minutes, until the cake has risen to almost double its height.
- Remove from oven, and carefully, invert the cake onto one hand, quickly removing pan from cake and place on stand or plate. Peel off the parchment paper. Be extremely careful, the cake will be hot!
- Sprinkle the top of the cake with powdered sugar, slice, and serve with berry compote.

The Nigeria Agricultural Quarantine Service said on Wednesday that it has secured an order for 100 billion dollars worth of pigeon pea from India.Dr Vincent Isegbe, the Coordinating Director, Nigeria Agricultural Quarantine Service, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on the sidelines of the 1st Nigeria Food Safety and Investment Forum in Lagos.
"Last year, we did a survey analysis for the Government of India and as a result of that we now have an order for 100 billion dollars worth of pigeon pea.
"So, we have just exposed our pigeon pea to the Indian market, "he said.
According to him, this has given rise to expanded trade relationships between Nigeria and countries due to effective analysis and certification of products.
Isegbe said that the agency would continue to explore its mandate to fast track more commodities for export for foreign exchange earnings.
"There are other culinary herbs and spices here in Nigeria, it's like we are used to it, we eat it every day, we don't value it, but overseas, it costs a lot of money.
"So, we are trying to encourage exporters to go to those specialist areas to export, but then there are processes and standards they need to follow.
"We must observe all rules to ensure that our commodities are certified before entering the foreign market," Isegbe said.
On the beans that were rejected by the European Union, Isiegbe said they were illegally exported out of the country, because the Quarantine Service did not certify them.
He told NAN that the rejected beans that caused the nation great embarrassment did not pass through the agency's certification.
The coordinating director said that "EU have their standard, so, to bring anything there, you must meet their standards."
He stressed the need for proper co-ordination between government security and service agencies to enhance growth and development of the economy.
Isegbe called for the review of the agricultural export laws to ensure safety, enhance export and the mandate of the quarantine service.
The coordinating director said that the organisation was doing everything within its mandate to ensure that various value chains did not affect certification.
"For export, a lot of people are involved and we still move along with those people.
"It is the duty of Quarantine Service to ensure that whatever happens along the value chain, does not affect our certification," the coordinating director said.
Isegbe told NAN that the organisation would continue to ensure best practices in its operations to promote improvement in agricultural products
He also said that funding was limiting the agency's operations in terms of surveys, analysis and awareness creation, among others. (NAN)

Last week I asked the philosophical question, did I actually exist. That was answered last week, for those that missed the answer to that deep question you can dig up a paper, perhaps from your neighbor or you could contact me personally. Of course if you ran into me on the street then the question wouldn't need to be answered, or would it?
I periodically get asked the question about my column: 'do I really write for the newspaper?' It seems such a big surprise to some people, even those that know me well. For some folks that know me, they know that I seem a bit quiet in person. Others seem surprised that I could string together a few thoughts in written words with some degree of success. I guess I am surprised at the number of people that, unsolicited, ask me about the column. I am happy that so many members of the community read what I write here each week.
I was a bit worried when I started writing, that no one would read much past the first couple of sentences, especially if it didn't seem very interesting. I actually had a couple of folks tell me that at times they lost interest in what I had to say and moved on. I can completely understand that, because my mind sometimes requires a bit of excitement or humor to keep me engaged.
I also didn't really have anyone that I knew was a champion for me at first. My mother has passed on, years ago, so I didn't have that ace up my sleeve. Also if she was not around then I knew that she wasn't stopping people on the street telling them to pick up a Journal so they could read the interesting stories I wrote every week. My mother would have been proud that I achieved something like this, probably equating it to a weekly column in a major New York newspaper.
My father, on the other hand, would have been a little more reluctant. He was never one to heap on praise, choosing to push me with a bit of disappointment in his voice. Deep down he probably would have been proud, and away from me would have told people how proud he was. Like me, my father was a bit of a photography fanatic. I am sure he would have liked knowing that I have accomplished a few memorable shots.
The Belton Journal is not my first newspaper; I worked for another small town paper, having photos, cartoons and a few stories published. There is something unique about a small town in Texas, there is usually history, the life long residents, and just a country feel. Those are the places where print newspapers will be around for a long time, and a lot of fixtures will be available such as corner drug stores and clothing stores. Even those are fading, so perhaps we are lucky to still live in a time and place where we still have the reality of tangible newspapers and stores, not giving in to the virtual marketplaces. Of course with changes a lot of things improve. Probably in the past, more than just a few years ago, the courthouse square was dotted with "droppings" from the most common form of transportation of the time, horses. It would be hard to dress up for official business and then weave your way through the mine field of natural fertilizer. On the flip side the horse rarely left you stranded with a flat tire, or cost over $50 worth of hay to fill up for a trip home. Everyone owned a "convertible," however that was not a plus during a rain storm. OK, I am fine with the automobile, less fond of phones that follow me everywhere. I like things I can hold and touch, real newspapers, real stores with real people, real experiences, reality I guess.
I will be on various street corners this coming week, weather permitting, in case my existence is in doubt. While I am out I will probably touch all the old buildings and wander into some actual stores to see if I can find some clean boots. I'd be happy to have a real conversation if the opportunity presents itself.

Cal Ripken's Real Baseball, also known as Real Baseball Online (RBO) or Ultimate Baseball Online (UBO), was the first free-to-play baseball based massively multiplayer online sports game (MMOSG). Operating from 2003 until 2008, the game was developed and published by Netamin Communication Corporation. The game was designed to allow 18 human-controlled players to compete simultaneously in virtual game, though the number was later reduced due to lag issues. Former Major League Baseball player Darrell Evans served as the game's spokesperson/ambassador prior to Cal Ripken's endorsement of the game. After Real Baseball/UBO ceased operation in 2008, it spawned development a fan-led open source project titled Multiplayer Baseball Online, which itself ceased development in 2010.
Development and history[edit | edit source]
Netamin Communication Corporation was the developer behind Real Baseball Online (RBO), with the company having been founded in 1999.[1][2] Netamin became the world's first company to develop the technology to build a Massively Multiplayer Online Sports Game (MMSOG), led by its found and CEO, Andy Wang.[1] Early in its development the game was associated with ESPN, with alpha testing having finished by March 30, 2003.[3] Former Major League Baseball player Darrell Evans served as the game's "Ambassador" for part of its history.[2] After the release of Ultimate Baseball Online 2006 (known simply as UBO), the game had officially ended its Beta phase.[4] Netamin announced a monthly subscription fee for UBO in September 2006, consisting of a $7.95 monthly fee for early adopters and a $9.95 monthly charge for new players.[4] The subscription fee was met with negative reaction by players, prompting Netamin to create a new season and league system, while making the game free to play for those only participating in pickup baseball games.[4]
The game still had its share of bugs and other issues, as explained in the download page on CNET.com the game was in beta testing and still free and would be improved over the next few months. Even though the game got a visual face lift problems still presisted. Players angry over the subsciption fees lashed out at what were known as "General Managers" or "GM's", people who worked for Netamin who overlooked games and tournaments online on the games message boards.[citation needed] Player reception to paid service led Netamin to try and find other ways to attract players and defray costs, eventually leading to in-game advertising.[5]
Netamin offered discounts to players who signed up for six months or one year subscriptions and gave away free months of subscriptions for winning in tournaments but nothing lured gamers to want to stay. Netamin then tried to offer new players a limited time free play where they could download and play the game for free, but once they reached a certain level were forced to pay to continue to play. This also failed, and Netamin was at a loss to gain subscriptions. With seasoned players leaving the game and new player not sticking around to pay for the game Netamin was forced to end subscription fees and once again offer the game to play for free. Netamin had a new idea, don't charge players to player the game but to have in game advertising from sponsors to help pay for the games costs.
Although there are still some things to be worked out, there is enormous potential. Major plusses[sic] for the game are that for one, the download is free (as opposed to paying a $40 fee just to obtain the game), you can play as many pickup games and build up your character as you see fit without cost, but now you can also join a pay league and win some decent prizes.
Netamin then partnered with Hall of Fame baseball player Cal Ripken, Jr. to help promote the game, renaming UBO "Cal Ripken's Real Baseball". The newly named game launched from Disney's ESPN The Weekend on February 28, receiving over 10,000 downloads within the first 72 hours of availability. Cal Ripken's Real Baseball enables gamers to compete in a Massively Multiplayer Online Sport Game (MMOSG), meaning each position on the field is manned by a human player in a 3-D virtual stadium, except the catcher position. Players can create their own characters and build their skill level (player stats) through successful play on the field against other real human players. Unlike current video games that aim to simulate professional sports, Real Baseball (RB) delivered a third-person perspective of a character, created and developed by the player, interacting online in real-time with teammates and opponents playing from numerous locations. "I am very pleased that Cal Ripken Jr. and Netamin have come together to create a fun, innovative, and technologically patented Baseball Game for fans worldwide to enjoy," said Marc Beckman, founder and CEO of DMA. "From a business POV, the match makes a lot of sense; Cal will provide the programmers with a certain level of authenticity that would not be achievable otherwise."
Gameplay[edit | edit source]
Real Baseball was a massively multiplayer online sports game capable of fielding up to 18 players a game, occupying all active positions in the game of baseball. However, players often refuse to field 18 due to lag and synchronization issues, and games rarely ended with all their original participants. This prompted a later revision in the game where Netamin only allowed ten human players total between two competing teams.[citation needed] Game characters are based on a level of ranks for a specific range of levels, from 0-99, with 99 being the maximum level attained. The game-coded team names of Home and Away teams are used instead of the player created team names; therefore, players can play with each other in normal servers regardless of the team they belong. Servers are divided by players under level 10 and over level 11. Team play is only enforced however, as expected, in Team Tournaments and the UBO League. Game settings also allows the option day and night of three, six, and nine inning games, with extra innings if necessary in two stadiums.
Batting power was supposed to be amplified through the addition of parameter points in body strength and stamina. Stamina was never implemented.[citation needed]
RBO League[edit | edit source]
Real Baseball Online (RBO) hosted seasonal leagues that featured multiple teams of different levels playing against each other for the championship. Managed by Netamin and Game Masters, there were three league classes: MVP, All-Star, and Major. Current Leagues include a 10-game regular season for all participating teams, 3-game wildcard playoffs, 4-game division finals, and a 5-game league championship for eligible teams. Press Coverage and Awards are also presented during the league seasons written by the official RBO players who are better off writing than playing the game. Winners of RBO Leagues qualified for the Best of RBO competition, which never took place.
RBO Promotions[edit | edit source]
Hats, shirts, pens, keychains, and Darrell Evans autographed baseballs were given away as prizes for entering tournaments. Pay to play tournaments were added to fund prizes for the teams who entered. In-game advertisements were later added to fund future prizes such as "The Best of UBO" tournament that never happened. Players were also able to purchase higher leveled characters in the game. Past prizes included iPods, PSP's, Tickle Me Elmo dolls, Domino's Pizza, Michael J. Fox Bobbleheads, Giftcards, and level upgrades.
Reception[edit | edit source]
The game received a variety of press coverage, and some differing opinions about the game. Specifically for UBO 2006, GameShark rated it a "B-", while Operation Sports rated the game an "8".[4][6] Additional reviews and press coverage included:
Shutdown and baseball MMOSG future[edit | edit source]
The service for Cal Ripken's Real Baseball is currently halted until further notice. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Real Baseball Online became inaccessible to play in October 2008.[7] The main webpage of Real Baseball posted a statement saying, "The service for Cal Ripken's Real Baseball is currently halted until further notice. We apologize for any inconvenience."[7] Not long after, Netamin's own corporate webpage ceased to exist, cementing the demise of the game.[7]

Think about it—the delicious and nutritious fruits and vegetables you eat on a daily basis originate from a seed. So eating the seed itself has got to be healthy, right? Seeds are in fact some of the healthiest foods you can eat! They will give your salads crunch, your oatmeal extra nuttiness, and your breads added nutrition.
The seed is an embryonic plant that is still enclosed in its protective seed coat. Because it hasn't yet shed this coat, it stores all of its nutrients that would otherwise be shared with a seedling. The nutrients inside vary based on the type of plant from which the seed is derived. When you eat a seed, you are nourishing your body with optimal, high concentrations of essential oils, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Seeds come in all different shapes and sizes and you probably eat them every day, maybe without even knowing it. Try adding these seeds to your meals or simply as a mid-afternoon snack for a nutritious pick-me-up.
Pumpkin Seeds
Large and crunchy, pumpkin seeds are so much more than the stringy mess on the inside of a pumpkin. Pumpkin seeds are high in protein and chock full of B vitamins, important for energy production and maintenance. They also contain the essential amino acid tryptophan, which can help fight depression and gloomy moods. High in zinc (great for men's health) and folate (needed for pregnant women), pumpkin seeds serve a wide variety of purposes. Next time you carve a pumpkin, don't throw away those seeds. Roast them with olive oil, salt, and pepper for a healthy snack, toss them into your salads, or top wintry soups for a fancy garnish.
Sesame Seeds
Sesame seeds are some of the oldest seeds known to humans, thought to have originated in India, traveled through the Middle East, and ultimately to your favorite bagel. Tiny, slightly crunchy, and nutty, sesame seeds are high in copper and manganese, as well as cholesterol-lowering fibers called lignans. Sesame seeds can be found in white, yellow, black, and red and can add extra color and pop to your dishes. Mix sesame seeds into homemade muffin batter, sear tuna with a sesame crust, or stir fry broccoli with sesame oil topped with white sesame seeds for an Asian-inspired side dish.
Chia Seeds
Chia seeds (pictured top) are the newest and hippest superfood. Only one tablespoon provides the body with two and a half times more protein than beans, three times more iron than spinach, and eight times more calcium than milk. There are studies linking chia seeds to weight loss, as they expand in your gut, keeping you full and satisfied for longer. Chia seeds do not have to be ground up and can be eaten raw. They are also perfect for upping the nutrition to smoothies, puddings, and baked into breads and cakes.
Flaxseeds are also a nutritional powerhouse. Widely known and used for centuries across the world, flaxseed was written about by Hippocrates and consumption of flaxseed was mandated by the French Emperor Charlemagne in the 8th century. Turns out Charlemagne knew what he was talking about as we now have research with evidence of flaxseed's amazing health properties. Once flaxseeds are ground, their essential oils and nutrients are released. Most importantly, flaxseed contains omega-3 fatty acids important for reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke, soluble and insoluble fiber, and antioxidants. Sprinkle ground flaxseeds on your cereal and oatmeal, mix it into muffin and cookie batters, or even add them to scrambled eggs for nuttiness and texture.
Sunflower Seeds
Sunflower seeds are one of the first plants to be brought to the United States from Mexico and Peru and of course are the most beloved snack of the Great American Pastime, baseball. The beautiful, bright yellow sunflower gives rise to tear-shaped gems filled with Vitamin E- containing polyunsaturated oil, the body's most important antioxidant. Vitamin E protects cells from harmful cancer-causing free radicals and reduces inflammation. Sunflower seeds also contain phytosterols known to lower cholesterol. Shell your seeds or buy already shelled seeds and sprinkle over salads, cereals, and soups.
