Andre Iguodala has never truly captivated the fans of Philadelphia, despite possessing the type of versatile all-around game that any team would desire.
It says here that Iguodala has been held in higher esteem outside of Philadelphia during what has been a sometimes stormy eight-year career. The fact that he is among 20 finalists for the 12 spots on the U.S. Olympic team, truly shows how highly regarded he is.
It appears as if the fans are starting to warm up to Iguodala this year and vice versa.
His stoic manner on the court has never endeared Iguodala to the Philadelphia fans who love to see players show outward passion.
There have been playoff slumps, such as scoring just 19 points in the first three postseason losses last year against Miami.
There is the six-year $80 million contract, that fans have felt was too excessive.
And another bad public relations move came when Iguodala was vague while speaking to reporters about whether he wanted to remain a Sixer following the 97-91 Game 5 loss in Miami.
The next day he was again asked about wanting to remain in Philadelphia and Iguodala said, "I don't control that so that's not a concern of mine. I just know I'm always going to be prepared and my No. 1 goal is to want to compete for a championship."
Again, things would have been easier if he said he wanted to stay here so there was the perception that he didn't.
Whether it was true or not, it appears as if Iguodala is enjoying himself more than ever, even though the smiles remain limited.
Again, the perception of him outside the area has always been strong. Any time this reporter has asked an NBA coach about him, there were nothing but rave reviews.
Here is what Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said about Iguodala after he had scored 22 points in that final game 5 loss to the Heat. It was a series in which Iguodala alternated between covering LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.
"He is so unique in how many things he does to impact a game," Spoelstra said of Iguodala. "He is such a great defender, is long, moves his feet, is an intelligent rebounder."
Sixers coach Doug Collins has been a staunch backer of Iguodala and says he's heartened to see the fans reaching out to him.
"I see his face he is happy," Collins said. "Yesterday it was neat to see that he hit a couple of shots and some of the fans starting chanting USA and little things like that."
Then Collins added some perspective.
"Dre so wants these fans to appreciate what he brings as do I."
Iguodala hasn't always given off the best body language, but he has always played like a warrior. In five of his first seven seasons he played all 82 games. Last season he missed a career-high 15 games due mainly to Achilles tendonitis. It's an injury that may have kept others on the sidelines much longer. He clearly wasn't 100 percent, but never used it as an excuse.
Now he is healthy and the same can be said of his outlook.
When asked if he were happier this year, Iguodala wouldn't allow the questioner too deep into his soul.
"I wouldn't say happier," he said. "I would probably say I am healthier and that is the biggest thing."
While he has had some public relations gaffes in the past, Iguodala says he's appreciative of the fans enthusiasm.
"We have really good support," he said.
Maybe it's his personality not to smile much, or to gloat over his accomplishes, but Iguodala seems to be enjoying basketball more these days.
The team is 10-3, he is an Olympic finalist and who knows, maybe he may make that first NBA all-star team, even though his scoring numbers are down, but effectiveness is greater.
He said it was exciting to be among the final 20, but wouldn't gloat too long.
"I think they pick 12 so it's great to be mentioned," said Iguodala, who averaged 18.9 minutes when the U.S. won the title in the 2010 FIBA world championship in Turkey.
Anybody who knows Iguodala knows he wants to be more than mentioned. With the way he can defend on the perimeter, Iguodala could be a valuable member on the Olympic team.
For now, everything is going as smoothly as it ever has in his career for Iguodala. It's enough to make anybody smile, even somebody who hasn't always been a fan favorite but now has the chance to change course.

Verlander's expectations high after first live BP
LAKELAND, Fla. -- Justin Verlander threw pitch No. 8 of his first session against live hitters this spring on Monday and asked catcher Bryan Holaday and pitching coach Jeff Jones whether it was a ball or a strike. He fired his 12th pitch and cursed himself, unhappy with the way he threw it.
In other words, Verlander was back.
LAKELAND, Fla. -- Justin Verlander threw pitch No. 8 of his first session against live hitters this spring on Monday and asked catcher Bryan Holaday and pitching coach Jeff Jones whether it was a ball or a strike. He fired his 12th pitch and cursed himself, unhappy with the way he threw it.
In other words, Verlander was back.
He wasn't worried about the core muscle injury that required offseason surgery, not even when he slipped on the mound trying to throw a curveball. He was worried about the quality of the pitches. He wasn't happy with some of them, but he's never happy with them the first time he faces hitters in the spring.
"It went pretty well," Verlander said of his 48-pitch session. "Just a lot of rust to knock off, per norm your first time out against hitters. It was pretty sporadic and a little all over the place. Offspeed stuff wasn't great, but that's normal."
In general, nothing was great according to him. And for him, that's normal. His frustration at this point has become an expectation, and no delay in his throwing program this winter while recovering from surgery was going to get him to let up on himself.
"I don't expect to be frustrated," Verlander said, "but the reason I'm frustrated is, I don't ever expect to be off. Even though I know that's happened every year at this point in time, even though I know that, I think maybe this is the year that it'll be perfect. It never is."
The only way he possibly let up was on the pitch count, and he did that by actually sticking to it. Verlander had surpassed his pitch count throughout his bullpen sessions, sometimes only by one pitch. He had a range of 45-50 pitches for Monday's workout.
Unlike every other live batting practice session session this week, he was on the mound at Joker Marchant Stadium, since he was the only pitcher throwing. He had a small crowd watching in the stands as he faced outfield prospect Daniel Fields and Minor League catcher Craig Albernaz, and he admitted to having a little adrenaline building as he went along.
"It sent me right back to pitching in Lakeland with 30 people in the stands," he said, referring to his days in the Florida State League in 2005.
Verlander will throw another live BP session on Thursday. If that goes well, he'll slot into the rotation from there, though manager Brad Ausmus and Jones said no date has been decided for his first start.
The goal with Verlander is to get him five Spring Training starts, which should allow him to stretch his pitch count enough to be ready for the season. Ausmus said he'd like to get Verlander ready for close to 100 pitches by the start of the season, which would be enough for the manager to feel comfortable giving Verlander the nod on Opening Day.
Who will start the season opener hasn't been decided, but Ausmus said Verlander is under consideration with Max Scherzer and Anibal Sanchez. If Verlander gets the start for the March 31 meeting with the Royals, it would mark his seventh consecutive Opening Day assignment, something Ausmus said would be a consideration.
"If he can only go 75 pitches, that's a dangerous area to be in," Ausmus said, " because he's the type of pitcher, if he were to go out there and guys are fouling pitches off, he could be at 75 after five innings. … We'd hope he'd be closer to 100, but we'll see how it progresses."

US Oncology Research Investigators Participated in Studies That Will be Presented at the 2010 American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting and Exposition
Eight leading investigators affiliated with US Oncology Research involved in two oral clinical studies presentations and one poster
Dec 03, 2010, 02:28 EST
THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Dec. 3, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- US Oncology, Inc., the nation's leading integrated oncology company, announced today that three investigators affiliated with US Oncology Research participated in studies that will be presented orally at the 52nd American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla. Dec. 4-7. Five other investigators in the US Oncology Research Network participated in a study that will be displayed as a poster during the conference.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100517/DA06089LOGO)
Jeff Sharman, M.D., medical oncologist with Willamette Valley Cancer Institute and Research Center – Riverbend, participated in a study that will be presented in an oral presentation regarding the safety of the drug, PCI-32765, used by patients with recurrent B-cell lymphoma. The study, titled "Phase I Dose-escalation Study of Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (Btk) Inhibitor PCI-32765 in Recurrent B Cell Lymphoma (PCYC-04753)," identified a range of biologically meaningful doses for subsequent Phase II testing.
"It is exciting to work with this new class of drugs," said Dr. Sharman. "I believe targeted inhibitors of b-cell receptor signaling will soon be an effective, well-tolerated treatment option available for our patients with CLL and NHL."
Dr. Sharman participated in another study regarding the same drug titled "APCYC-1102-CA: Phase 1b Fixed-dose Study of Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (Btk) Inhibitor, PCI-32765, in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia" which will be presented orally. He, along with Kathryn Kolibaba, M.D., medical oncologist with Northwest Cancer Specialists - Vancouver Cancer Center and researcher Thomas Boyd, studied the drug PCI-32765 to establish the safety and optimal dose of the orally administered drug in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma.
"Many hematologic malignancies are driven by activated signaling pathways that are potential targets for drug development," said Dr. Kolibaba. "The Bruton's tyrosine kinase is an enzyme downstream of the B cell receptor that is activated in many leukemias and lymphomas. PCI-32765 is an oral selective, irreversible inhibitor of the Bruton's tyrosine kinase. Physicians in the US Oncology Research Network are excited to have access to the BTK inhibitor PCI-32765 for our patients in clinical trials in their own communities."
Five other investigators affiliated with US Oncology Research were involved in a poster abstract that will be displayed at the conference on the evening of Saturday, Dec. 4.
Rapid Prospective Identification of Non-Germinal Center B Cell-Like (GCB) Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) Patients for Targeted Trials: Early Results From PYRAMID, A Phase 2 Randomized Study of R-CHOP +/- Bortezomib in Newly Diagnosed Non-GCB DLBCL
Kevin Doner, Ian W Flinn, Brian K Ulrich, Stephen J Noga, Naveed M Chowhan, Steven W Papish, Tallat Mahmood, James A Reeves, Goran Broketa, Nicholas J Di Bella, Gerald J Robbins, Radhakrishnan Ramchandren, Sein Aung, William Lawler, George Mulligan, John P Leonard(1)
"This is a poster describing an exciting study which is underway in US Oncology Research," said Nicholas Di Bella, M.D., oncologist for Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers – Aurora. "Using special gene expression technology, we can identify patients with lymphoma who are relatively resistant to standard therapy with R-CHOP. Patients with lymphoma with the non-germinal center B cell profiles may not respond to this combination, so these patients are being treated with standard R-CHOP or R-CHOP plus the new agent Bortezomib, which may overcome the natural resistance of lymphoma cells to R-CHOP."
Many clinical studies led by US Oncology Research Network physicians were also predominantly featured at numerous conferences held around the world, including the annual congress for the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), the annual meeting for the American Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and the upcoming San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS). Those studies, along with more than 30 published manuscripts, featured forward looking clinical research topics that are helping advance cancer care today and discover improved therapies for the cancer care of tomorrow.

Accused police impersonator from Newmarket hopes to make plea dealBy JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
September 29. 2013 8:03PM
BRENTWOOD — An alleged police impersonator accused of trying to pull over women in Epping and Stratham is hoping to keep his felony cases out of superior court by striking a plea deal, according to records filed by his lawyer.
A lawyer for Michael Heath, 42, of Newmarket told a judge in 10th Circuit Court he wants a resolve his charges before they are possibly bound over to a grand jury.
If Heath strikes a plea deal in the lower court, then he would likely be able to avoid felony charges and possible state prison time.
His public defender says they are exploring a "global resolution" to his two felony charges of false personation.
Last Tuesday, Heath was given a 30-day continuance to put off his probable cause hearing so that his public defender can explore a possible plea deal.
Police arrested Heath on Sept. 12 on a warrant issued for his arrest.
Stratham police said a woman reported that she was driving along Route 108 on Aug. 29 when a man pulled up alongside her car, waved a badge and motioned for her to pull over.
Stratham police tracked down Heath on Aug. 31, and questioned him about the incident in their town along with a similar one months earlier in Epping.
"During the interview, Heath admitted to showing a badge at a subject in Stratham and telling them to pull over," Epping police Detective Sean Gallagher said in a sworn affidavit.
A 36-year-old woman first reported to Epping police on Nov. 9 that a man pulled up next to her while she was at the intersection of Routes 125 and 27.
"The subject was waving the badge in her direction and motioning for her to pull her car over," Gallagher said in the affidavit.
The woman did not believe the man, later identified as Heath, was a police officer, according to Gallagher.
Heath was driving a green 2005 Buick Century when he pulled up to the woman. She noticed the car registration was a New Hampshire veteran plate with a vanity registration that read DEFIANT, according to the affidavit.
Epping police were able to identify Heath as the alleged police impersonator shortly after the incident, but had not been able to find him. Heath is being held on $25,000 cash bail.

Executive Summary:
This candid account of a Windows Vista migration can help you figure out what to expect in your own environment and how to deal with—or avoid—common mistakes. Typical workstations require a video adapter upgrade, primarily to run the Windows Aero interface, but the cost and effort might not be worth the results. Vista performance was noticeably slower than Windows XP, but Vista SP1 has improved performance. In the end, some of Vista's features such as the improved search engine won over the end users.
I'm not an impulsive person. As a network administrator for a small software company, I tend to look carefully before I leap, and when I started testing the beta releases of Windows Vista, I was even more cautious. We have a lot of serious power users in the quality assurance and technical support departments, and if I forced an OS on them that they hated, I'd never hear the end of it. To begin with, I had to add memory to my test machines and replace the video adapters before I could even run all of Vista's features. And even then, the performance wasn't exactly spectacular. But hey, these were betas. Things were sure to shape up by the time the code was released to manufacturing, right?
Well, things did shape up, to some extent, and I went ahead and leapt. I plotted out a migration schedule for my 90-node network that I thought was timely but not impetuous, and converted all of my user workstations to Windows Vista Business over the course of a few months. However, if I knew then what I know now, I would have definitely done quite a few things differently.
A Hard Look at Hardware
The workstations I migrated to Vista were a few years old, but they were hardly relics from a museum, and yet every one required a hardware upgrade to conform to the recommended system requirements for Vista Business. Most of them had 512MB of RAM and needed to be upgraded to at least 1GB; quite a few needed larger, faster hard disks; and every single one needed a new video adapter to replace the basic one integrated into the motherboard—I didn't have one computer in my whole shop with a Vista-compatible video card.
My users run mostly standard business applications. They don't need extensive graphics capabilities, and I'm not interested in gaming, so I'm not exactly up on the latest 3D, lightning-fast, water-cooled video adapters out there. In fact, I needed a crash course in the latest video specifications before I even understood the requirements for a Vista-ready adapter. I also had a lot of trouble identifying video adapters that had both the required hardware components and drivers that conformed to the Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) specification. In those early days, the only way to be absolutely sure a video adapter was Vista-compliant was to install it and run the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor, a process which can be expensive and lengthy when you're shopping over the Internet.
I finally located video adapters with the right hardware, the right drivers, and the right price, and installed them in all of my workstations. This whole process complicated the migration enormously, and do you know what? It wasn't worth the trouble. The video hardware requirements for Vista exist primarily to support the Windows Aero UI. The translucent window frames and Flip 3D interface are reasonably cool-looking, but my users weren't overly impressed, and I decided that the Aero experience wasn't worth the system resources it consumed.
I ended up switching all of the workstations to the Windows Standard user experience, which eliminates the Aero cosmetics but takes advantage of the WDDM drivers. WDDM is an excellent step forward in driver design. It shifts most of the display driver code from kernel mode to user mode, so a driver problem is far less likely to crash the entire system. However, I could have saved a lot of time and money by leaving the old video adapters in place and running Vista without Aero from the beginning.
Prickly About Performance
I ran the beta version of Vista on several computers, and as is often the case with betas, system performance wasn't great. Of course, when you're working with a beta, you attribute poor performance primarily to code that hasn't been checked and streamlined for general release. By the time the Vista code was finalized and released to manufacturing, I already had a migration schedule in place and running.
I expected to see a marked improvement in performance when I was running the final Vista code on my production workstations, especially considering that I had installed extra RAM and faster video adapters in them. That performance improvement never materialized, and it still hasn't, even after installing SP1.
Some people spend a lot of time and money running benchmark tests to gauge the precise performance levels of their computers, down to the last clock cycle. I'm not one of those people. I prefer to evaluate system performance empirically. If I can't detect a change while performing typical tasks running everyday software, then statistics are meaningless to me.
However, I did run some informal, side-by-side performance tests using two of my standard user workstations, with one running Windows XP and the other running the initial release version of Vista. Overall, the XP machine was palpably faster than the Vista one, even though the Vista computer had more RAM and a faster video adapter. Simple file management operations, such as browsing network shares and copying and deleting files, were particularly slow. This situation would later prove to be a major source of frustration for my users, with many of them asking if they could have XP back.
Although their evidence is strictly anecdotal, several of the department managers in my company believe that productivity has declined since the installation of Vista. Interestingly, it was the managers of the order entry and customer service call centers, two departments that are highly reliant on their computers, who first approached me to complain.
When researching the performance problem, I found some documents claiming that XP file copies only seem faster than Vista copies because XP uses cached I/O differently than Vista does. In other words, they said that XP was returning control to the user faster, but the actual copy process was still going on in the background. This might be true, and it might be an important distinction to programmers and theorists. However, to my users, all that matters is how long they have to wait until they can perform another task. If Vista keeps them waiting an extra sixty seconds while a file copies, and XP lets them continue working, they'll choose XP every time.
These performance problems have been well publicized, and Microsoft clearly has attempted to address them in the first Vista service pack. SP1 definitely improves system performance somewhat, particularly in the file management tasks that were most irritatingly slow. However, even with SP1, if you were to ask me whether a Vista upgrade improved system performance, the answer would still be no.
The Driver Nosedive
My other big problem was locating Vista drivers for some of the hardware components in my workstations. Some of my network adapters slowed down to a crawl after the migration, and some audio adapters exhibited strange behavior, such as playing sounds from some applications but not others. I've been working with Windows since version 3.0, and I don't recall a new release ever causing driver problems with this many components. I also don't think it has ever taken this long for the hardware manufacturers to create and release new drivers for their products.
In a few cases, I replaced network interface adapters rather than spending more time fiddling with driver upgrades. Audio drivers are not mission-critical to my users, so I ended up leaving the few problematic ones in their partially operational state.
Would I Do Things Differently?
Being an early adopter was a relatively new experience for me, and I suppose that migrating my workstations to Vista so soon after release wasn't a particularly good idea in my situation. I don't mean for this article to be a blanket indictment of Vista. When I tested Vista on a state-of-the-art computer with a lot of RAM, fast SATA drives, and a high-powered video card, it performed quite well. However, on my slightly outdated but hardly obsolete workstations, the results ended up being rather different.
A few years ago, when I migrated my company's workstations from Windows 2000 to XP, there were problems too, but when I finished working through them, we had better-performing workstations than we'd had before. With Vista, I can't be so quick to say the same is true. After extensive—and expensive—hardware upgrades, a complex migration process, and the deployment of SP1, the computers are running well now. Are they running noticeably faster than they did with XP? No, but they are no longer noticeably slower either. Is Vista better then XP? It's been a gradual adjustment process, but I think most of my users would now say yes. For many of them, it's the small things they have grown to like. They like the refinements to the Windows Explorer interface. They like the Windows Sidebar gadgets. They love the improved search engine.
As an administrator, I've grown to appreciate Vista's way of doing things. I can appreciate that XP is reaching the end of its operational life and will eventually be discontinued. With Vista, I have far fewer updates to evaluate and deploy. The driver situation has improved considerably, and Vista also has a large number of new Group Policy settings, which I'm using to deploy shared printers to workstations and perform other remote configuration tasks. In addition, I'm using Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption to protect the data on the laptops we provide to outside salespeople.
Would I do it all again if I knew then what I know now? I probably would, but in a far more cautious manner. I'd have to say that my biggest mistake was in not doing enough testing on the actual workstations my end users would be using. I would have waited at least until the SP1 release and until I found drivers for all my hardware. As mentioned earlier, I also would have selected video adapters based more on their WDDM driver support than on their ability to support Aero.
Oh, well. You live and learn.

David Duchovny is not quite the man next door
From The Sunday Times: The X Files star's new movie The Joneses sees him as a man who has it all. Real-life however, is not so straightforward
David Duchovny, Hollywood star, husband and father of two, is in the throes of a new relationship — and, to tell the truth, which he usually does, it has left him with mixed feelings. On the one hand, his new setup makes perfect sense, especially given his occasionally nomadic lifestyle. And, of course, we all have to move on and can't live in the past. But he is something of a traditionalist and doesn't enjoy leaving loved ones behind. Yes, like many, Duchovny is facing up to one of mankind's great questions: just how do we feel about the Kindle?
"I travel quite a bit, and being able to throw this little thing in my backpack so I can take my entire library with me is unbeliev able," reflects the 49-year-old actor, pondering his handheld vehicle for digital books. And yet paper is a good technology, I suggest. "I know," he sighs, "I don't like the idea of reading a book on a screen. But I tend to be a reference reader, flicking back and forth, so it really is useful."
For all the success of the now-iconic The X Files, the more recent Californication and a clutch of films, Duchovny maintains a sincerely deep level of interest in literature, kindled during his youth. He began his doctorate in comparative literature at Yale in the early 1980s (one of his tutors was the eminent critic Harold Bloom), but his thesis — on magic and technology in contemporary American fiction — remains uncompleted. "My career started, so I couldn't afford the time to finish it, but I do retain an academic interest in literature."
There are few actors in Hollywood who profess an academic interest in anything, never mind literature, but Duchovny is cut from a distinctive cloth. Many actors display a ready wit and intelligence, but few have his candour, or the likeable nonchalance that imbues so many of his performances and makes his characters men you'd genuinely like to hang out with. He seems pitched somewhere between his two television characters — more relaxed than The X Files' Mulder, more together than Californication's troubled novelist, Hank Moody. He likes to shoot the breeze — he can't cook, for example, although he does make a good sandwich. "And breakfast," he adds with a pause. "Sandwiches can also be good for breakfast."

Barcelona assistant coach Jordi Roura has bemoaned the side's lack of intensity in their 1-1 result with Valencia on Sunday night, but thinks a draw was the fair result.
Ever Banega put the hosts ahead at the Mestalla before Lionel Messi scored in his 12th Liga game in a row, this time from the penalty spot, to make it 1-1, and Roura believes the Blaugrana lacked freshness after their Copa del Rey semi-final with Real Madrid in midweek.
He told reporters after the match: "There is no doubt that we come into this after a very tough match in Madrid.
"Our showing in the first half cost us, and Valencia had a great intensity in the second, playing higher up the pitch, from a physical standpoint.
"As always, we came with the intention of winning, but what happened was we found it difficult at the Mestalla and, in the end, a draw is fair enough.
"We lacked intensity in the first half. We lacked depth in the second half; we had three or four very clear chances. Overall, we did not have the freshness of other games, but it's understandable. "
Tito Vilanova's assistant also heralded goalkeeper Victor Valdes for his display on the night, with the Camp Nou shot-stopper having received a lot of criticism since making his decision not to sign a new contract.
Roura said: "We are delighted with Victor, we have always said he is the best goalkeeper we can have.
"Today he played at a very high level, and we will continue helping and assisting in any way we can while he is still with us."

FOX Business: Capitalism Lives Here
U.S. stock-index futures held on to modest gains after a closely-watched report showed the private sector added slightly few jobs than expected last month.
Continue Reading Below
Today's Markets
As of 9:04 a.m. ET, Dow Jones Industrial Average futures climbed 27 points to 12960, S&P 500 futures rose 1 point to 1407 and Nasdaq 100 futures declined 1.5 points to 2663.
The ADP National Employment report showed the private sector added 118,000 jobs in November, missing expectations of 125,000 jobs created. Digging into the report, large businesses led the hiring with 66,000 jobs, followed by medium businesses at 33,000 jobs at small businesses at 19,000.
Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody's Analytics, which collaborates on the report, said in a conference call "several crosscurrents" impacted the reading. In particular, he reckons Hurricane Sandy cut 86,000 jobs for the overall reading. He said manufacturing and small businesses were impacted especially severely by the superstorm. Also, the early timing of Thanksgiving added between 60,000 and 70,000 jobs that Zandi expects will come out of the December numbers.
This report comes out ahead of the all-important monthly jobs report from the Labor Department. Overall, economists expect the economy to have tacked on 93,000 jobs in November, with the unemployment rate holding steady at 7.9%.
There are also two other reports on the docket for 10:00 a.m. ET. The Institute for Supply Management's non-manufacturing PMI is expected to show the U.S. services sector to have expanded at an increasing pace in November from the month before. A report from the Commerce Department is forecast to indicate factory orders having held steady in October from the month before.
Trading desks already had a busy day, with several reports being released in Europe. The eurozone services sector contracted at a slightly slower pace in November. Germany, the 17-member currency bloc's economic powerhouse, saw its contraction slow to near break-even territory, while France's contraction picked up steam. A separate report showed eurozone retail sales sinking 1.2% in October from the month before.
"European data continue to signal sluggish economic activity," analysts at Barclays wrote in a note to clients.
Elsewhere, commodities markets were little changed. The benchmark crude oil contract edged up by 32 cents, or 0.36%, to $88.81 a barrel. Wholesale New York Harbor gasoline dipped 0.09% to $2.687 a gallon. In metals, gold jumped $10.80, or 0.63%, to $1,707 a troy ounce.
Foreign Markets
The Euro Stoxx 50 rose 0.25% to 2597, the English FTSE 100 gained 0.19% to 5880 and the German DAX ticked up by 0.24% to 7453.
In Asia, the Japanese Nikkei 225 climbed 0.39% to 9569 and the Chinese Hang Seng surged 2.2% to 22271.

Natural Resource Damage Assessment
Damage Assessments and Restorations in the Midwest:
Illinois | Indiana | Iowa | Michigan | Minnesota | Missouri | Ohio | Wisconsin
Quantifying damages to natural resources caused by the release of contaminants (intentional releases or accidental spills), is the goal the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Environmental Contaminants program. We use the Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) process to quantify contaminant-caused damages. Ultimately, the results of an NRDA are used to procure the cost of those damages from the responsible party, and then the procured funds are used to restore injured habitats and resources.
Restoring habitats and resources to the condition they would have been had the hazardous substances not been released, and to compensate the public for the loss of their use or enjoyment of natural resources is the ultimate goal of the NRDA process and the Service's Environmental Contaminants Program.
About the Natural Resources Damage Assessment and Restoration Process:
Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge Superfund Site - ongoing
In 1947 Congress established Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge, with a mission to support wildlife, recreation, agriculture, and industry. Prior to modern environmental laws, it was common practice for industrial facilities, including those on the Refuge, to use unlined landfills and dumps to dispose of the waste generated by their operations. As a result, a number of locations on the Refuge became contaminated. As part of the Fish and Wildlife Service's Environmental Quality program, personnel stationed at the Marion CERCLA Field Office work on hazardous materials issues that affect federal trust resources on Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge.
Pipe Line Oil Release near Mt. Erie, Illinois
Releases of hazardous substances and petroleum products from the Former Indian Refinery caused damages near Lawrenceville, Illinois.
Sauget Industrial Corridor Sites
The Sauget, Illinois Industrial Corridor Sites include a series of facilities, landfills, waste disposal areas, sludge lagoons, and contaminated waterways located around the Villages of Sauget, Cahokia, and East St. Louis, St. Clair County, Illinois. The Sites have been proposed for listing under the National Priorities List for clean up.
The Grand Calumet River, originating in the east end of Gary, Indiana, flows 13 miles through the heavily industrialized cities of Gary, East Chicago, and Hammond. Eight responsible parties have entered into a settlement agreement to restore natural resources harmed by releases of substances such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), oil, benzene, cyanide, and heavy metals into the river.
Guttenberg, Iowa, 2008 Train Derailment
Mississippi River Pool 15, Iowa
Calmus Creek Injuries (Cerro Gordo County): Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment - November 26, 2007(12-page PDF; 513KB) Wetland injuries were the result of chalky solid materials released into Calmus Creek.
March 2002 Yellow River Fish Kill: Restoration Plan & Environmental Assessment - September 24, 2007(18-page PDF; 750KB) - A fish kill occurred from the un-permitted release of partially treated sewage into Hecker Creek and the Yellow River of Allamakee County, Iowa.
Missouri River Floodplain, Iowa
Kalamazoo River - Enbridge Pipeline Rupture
During July 2010, a rupture in a 30-inch oil pipeline near Marshall, Michigan, released over 840,000 gallons of crude oil into Talmadge Creek, which flows into the Kalamazoo River.
Industrial activities on the Kalamazoo River and Portage Creek released polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) to those waterways and the surrounding environment. As a result, the U.S. EPA designated areas downstream of the releases of PCBs as the Allied Paper, Inc./Portage Creek/Kalamazoo River Superfund Site.
A Natural Resources Damage Assessment was completed for the North Bronson Industrial Area Superfund Site where injuries were a result of hazardous substances discharged at and from the site. Contamination downstream was so severe that cows died along the stream.
Rouge River: 2002 diesel fuel and waste oil spills (goes to the Marine Incidents website)
Beginning in the 1940s, industrial facilities and wastewater treatment plants on the Saginaw River, Michigan, released PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) and related compounds into the Saginaw River.
Injuries are a result of releases of hazardous substances at and from the Dow plant property in Midland, Michigan to the Tittabawassee River.
St. Louis River Interlake/Duluth Tar Site
Missouri Portion of the Tri-State Mining District
Tri-State Mining District encompass multiple Superfund sites, thousands of acres of impacted land, and hundreds of miles of contaminated streams. This mining district, along with the Southeast Missouri Lead Mining District, make up the number one historic lead and zinc production areas in the nation, respectively.
Southeast Missouri Lead Mining Sites (SEMO)
Mining and smelting sites within St. Francois, Reynolds, Jefferson and Iron Counties in Missouri are located within the Southeast Missouri Lead Mining District (SEMOLMD), an area that was mined extensively for lead and zinc for more than a century. As a result of this mining and related activities, large amounts of metals including cadmium, lead, zinc, and nickel were released and are continuing to be released into Missouri's environment.
Fenton Creek, MO DRAFT Restoration Plan and Env Assessment (58kb .pdf)
Injuries are a result of the release of hazardous substances at the Fenton Creek Dump Site (also known as the Chrysler Dump).
Eastern Missouri Dioxin Sites Restoration (2011)
The Ashtabula River is located in northeast Ohio, flowing into Lake Erie at Ashtabula Ohio. Tributaries include Fields Brook, Hubbard Run, Strong Brook, and Ashtabula Creek. The bottom sediments, bank soils and biota of Fields Brook have been severely contaminated by unregulated discharges of hazardous substances.
Ohio River Fish, Mussel, and Snail Kill (Restoration Plan; 8-07; 500kb .pdf)
Nature resource injuries were due to the release of hazardous substances from a ferro-alloy manufacturing facility into the Ohio River. Releases of hazardous substances in excess of the limitations set forth in the facility's wastewater discharge permit allegedly resulted in a series of fish, mussel, and snail kills within a twenty-mile segment of the river.
Ottawa River (Maumee Bay, Lake Erie)
Decades of manufacturing activity and improper waste disposal practices have resulted in the release of hazardous substances to the Ottawa River and its watershed.
Natural resource injuries were caused by releases of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) by paper companies into the Lower Fox River and Green Bay assessment area.
Sheboygan River and Harbor NRDA
Industrial activities along the Sheboygan River released polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), heavy metals, and oil residues within the waterway and the surrounding environment. As a result, the U.S. EPA designated the lower 14 miles of the Sheboygan River a Superfund Site.
Southern Lakes Trap & Skeet, WI
The Southern Lakes Trap & Skeet Club at the Grand Geneva Resort and Spa was located near Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. The Site included a trap and skeet shooting range; shooting stations were located such that spent shot was deposited in and around a 36-acre wetland on the Site. The Service investigated the death of Canada geese near the Site, and concluded the geese died from lead poisoning resulting from the consumption of lead shot released at the Site.

ATLANTA, Ga. – Dr. Alveda King, director of African-American Outreach for Priests for Life, commented on the recent release of EXCLAIM!, a document published by the International Planned Parenthood Federation and targeted to a young audience.
"Planned Parenthood says EXCLAIM! is a young people's guide to 'sexual rights,' " Dr. King said. "Or is it just a way for the largest abortion provider in America to drum up more business? I say the latter.
"Planned Parenthood just wants to sexualize Americans and others in the world and now they are letting us know that the agenda is: The younger, the better! It makes sense from their perspective: The more people who are having sex, the more unwanted pregnancies we will have. That means more abortions for Planned Parenthood and that means, more money."
Dr. King pointed out that Planned Parenthood often has a significant presence in public schools, which many parents might not realize.
"Americans better wake up," she said. "Parents better wake up. Your children are in danger. They are being targeted by Planned Parenthood for sexual indoctrination. If your child goes to a public school make sure you stay engaged to find out if Planned Parenthood has its foot -- or its contraceptives -- in the door."

The log drive down the Connecticut was an annual ritual from the 1890s until about 1920. This drive brought spruce logs harvested in the far northwest portion of New Hampshire, at the series of lakes named Lake One through Four. The Turners Falls Lumber Company cut around nine million feet of lumber in 1895, only a fraction of the fifty to sixty million feet then being run past the mill, as this article notes, in 1900. By 1909, drives of around thirty-five million feet will be common, part of an overall declining trend.

Even if you are not a developer, you can help the ScummVM team. There are a number of areas in which you may be able to help. For example with version 1.0.0 coming all the games need to be thoroughly tested (see this topic). Another area that requires some work is the writing of a manual for ScummVM. This was actually one of the reason why version 1.0.0 took so long to come.
We need a good manual helping new users (and to a degree also experienced ones) with problems they have. This starts with how to obtain and install ScummVM on your favorite device, to how to copy file data to it and how to add it to ScummVM, up to specific issues with the games. There is a work in progress manual. This is very incomplete, and we need your help to finish it!
If you can write in proper english and would like to help, please contact Sev to get a wiki account.
You can have a look at what we want to achieve and a list of task on this page.
Edit: to clarify the 'proper english' part of my message, we have no plan to enter the ScummVM manual into a literary contest. The ability to write correct simple english should be sufficient. What we don't want to see is slang, SMS language or sentences full of grammatical and spelling errors.Last edited by criezy on Wed Jul 15, 2009 8:33 pm; edited 2 times in total
As you put it that way, I offer you my services. Say the word and I will help you in anyway I can. There must be something I can do to help.
Of course, if I may join you.
I would also like to help. I can lend a hand in writing the Nintendo DS and Wii bits.
Please, contact me privately.
i will help you for the windows CE port. just tell me what to do!
Contact me.
Hi everyone,
I discovered the ScummVM project some months ago and first of all Id like to thank the Team for having created that software.
Then heres the point: Im not a developer, I still do some mistakes when I speak in English (which would not do the trick for the English documentation) and I dont have so much time to help
but if I can do so that would be a pleasure.
So I was wondering: would you be interested in translating the documentation into other languages? I mean it was done for the software (which is great but there were not so much incomprehensible things to read) so I was thinking it could be really helpful for non-English speakers if the documentation could be translated too.
Well, Im French and can really properly write in my mother tongue (if I say that, thats because French people know that more and more grammatical and spelling errors are done
), so if I can help, dont hesitate to ask.
Yes, it would be not bad to have at least some of our manuals translated. There is one important thing, though, that is supporting those translations, i.e. it is not a one-shot job, but the person who is willing to do it has to join the team and maintain the documents.
I see and understand.
Well, like I said, I dont always have a lot of time to work on different projects, but as translation is not a one-shot job (youre right on that point ), if you are interested I could help the project in the best possible way.
It depends on deadlines you would have for translation: if theyre too short, I cant offer you my help. But if theyre not, that would be OK for me.
I would also like to help somehow...
Hi, I'm not a developer either but ScummVM and its supported games (especially the Sierra and Lucasarts graphic adventures) have a very special place in my heart.
I'm happy to help with documentation in either english or spanish (my primary language)
I run ScummVM on PC and an Android Tablet
I realize this sticky is quite old, but if you still need help, just let me know
Hi scarmona, the sticky post is indeed quite old, but there is a reason why it is still sticky
There is still work to be done on the manual, such as keeping it up to date, improving it or translating it. So any help is still welcome. To help you will need a wiki account, and you need to ask sev for that. You can do that by PM (see some of his posts above) or come on IRC (#scummvm channel on freenode) to discuss with the team and ask sev for an account there.
Thanks criezy, will do!
Hi, last week I sent a PM to sev and have not received any reply. It is possible that he has not received it?
It is possible that he does not check his pm's as frequently as mail, but he should be notified by mail if you sent the PM through the forums.
Joining the #scummvm IRC channel on #freenode would give you a much more direct line of contact with sev (and other devs).

Ted Siefer's City Hall: Arnold playing campaign funding close to the vestBy TED SIEFER
New Hampshire Union Leader
September 14. 2013 11:22PM
TUESDAY is the primary election. Let's hope that city residents turn out in greater numbers than they have in recent primaries.
In 2011, fewer than 5,000 residents cast ballots. Turnout might be boosted this time around, however, because there's a primary for the mayor's race, thanks to the earnest and quixotic candidacy of local activist Glenn R.J. Ouellette. And there's also a bit of intrigue heading into the primary. Just how much money has Alderman Patrick Arnold raised and spent in his bid to unseat Mayor Ted Gatsas?
You may recall that in late July, Gatsas announced he had raised $150,000 in just a few months. Gatsas released his disclosure report well before he was required to do so, and it coincided with the circulation of an Arnold campaign email indicating it had a goal of hitting $7,500 for July, normally a prime month to boost those campaign coffers.
The disparity raised the question of whether Arnold had any chance of mounting a viable campaign against Gatsas.
At the time, Arnold insisted his campaign was doing fine in the fundraising department, and he said his political action committee would release its disclosure report before the primary, as required under the charter.
With the primary only two days away, we still don't know how much Arnold's campaign has raised or how it spent its money.
As it turns out, Arnold, a lawyer by trade, is taking a legalistic approach to the disclosure requirement. While it's described on the city's website as the "10-days-before-primary" report, the City Charter states that the form has to be filed within 10 days immediately preceding the primary.
Arnold said he intended to submit his report by the close of business Monday.
Gatsas, meanwhile, had submitted his latest report right at the 10-day mark before the primary.
"I go above and beyond what campaigns are supposed to do," Gatsas said. "I would think all candidates would follow the same pattern."
It's true that Gatsas is transparent when it comes to campaign finances, and it's also true that raising money is a strong suit of his.
His latest report shows he raised an additional $49,525 since July 1, bringing the total amount raised so far to more than $200,000. If the pace keeps up, he'll exceed his sizable haul in the 2011 election.
In the same period, Gatsas spent about $35,000, with the largest expenditures going to the Derryfield Country Club for a campaign event ($6,700) and to Liberty Strategies, his campaign consultant.
Large checks came from auto dealers, real estate and construction companies and Wiggins Airways, which donated $2,500. The individuals who wrote the largest checks - $5,000 each - were Thomas Bullock, president of Amoskeag Beverages, and Fred Tausch, who has been a generous donor to Gatsas' campaigns in the past.
He's also the co-chair of the Gatsas campaign's finance committee.
Another large donor was Constantine Scrivanos ($2,500), a longtime supporter of the mayor whose family owns several Dunkin' Donuts franchises.
Scrivanos has been seeking to buy a sliver of city-owned land at the southern corner of Livingston Park, which is used for parking and a drive-through by the Dunkin' Donuts there.
One of the more notable contributions came from VMD Companies of North Andover, Mass. VMD, which cut a check for $1,000, is the company that wants to build a student housing tower on the site of the Pearl Street parking lot. Hopefully, the president of the company knows that the mayor, as he has said, does not let money sway his political judgment.

Did you know that the school board now has its own code of conduct? One might call it the be-nice policy; or it might be termed the "Beaudry Bill."
At the end of a long, eventful session last Monday, the board voted unanimously for a motion proposed by Ward 4's Roy Shoults. "In order to promote proper and effective human relations," Shoults proposes that every school board member "always display due respect at all times, and in all communications, whether verbal, written or visual, to the Manchester School District's superintendent and administrative assistants, as well as to all school personnel and volunteers."
Of course, Shoults didn't name names, but it was clear that Ward 9's Art Beaudry was an inspiration for the measure. No one on the board more persistently questions the school administration than Beaudry - and he hasn't extended much of a grace period to new Superintendent Debra Livingston in her first few appearances before the board.
Shoults had first floated the idea at the board's previous meeting. At the time, Beaudry said, "I believe this is a public forum. Nobody is going to gag any board member." In any case, Shoults' motion couldn't be voted on because it was a special meeting.
On Monday, Beaudry again had a skeptical reaction to the motion, which Shoults had printed and passed out to the board. "What does it mean?" Beaudry asked. "What's he trying to accomplish?"
Mayor Gatsas replied, "I think what he's trying to say is we all show respect to each other in the chamber and outside the chamber."
And this time, there wasn't much time for debate; Gatsas called for a vote, and the motion was passed with nary a word of opposition, although Beaudry could not be heard saying "aye."

As is well-known, Ward 10 Alderman Phil Greazzo is a fiscal conservative, and he also runs a road paving business. So when he encountered crews repaving a stretch of Interstate 293 by the Mall of New Hampshire, he questioned the expense of the project. "Those ramps were in perfect condition," he said.
He inquired with the state Department of Transportation how much it was spending to repave the entrance ramps and the stretch of highway to the Interstate 93 interchange: $1.7 million.
"There was maybe a little pothole on the westbound ramp," Greazzo said. "So we're spending $1.7 million to fix a pothole. It's a ridiculous process."
Greazzo said it's all the more upsetting since the city is bonding $1.5 million to do road repairs, and several state routes that run through the city are in dire need of repair, such as Route 28, also known as Mammoth Road, on the east side and Route 3 on the West Side, aka Second Street.
Greazzo said he's going to press for greater input from the city when state transportation officials draw up their priority list for paving projects. "It's something that should be coordinated with the city to get as much bang for the buck as we can," he said.

You may have noticed that old-school coin-operated parking meters have recently popped up downtown. They're the "spare change" meters the aldermen voted a couple of months ago to have installed. At the time, some aldermen expressed concerns that people might confuse them for real parking meters rather than donation stations to help the needy. There's no risk of that. Local artists teamed up to paint the meters; each has its own colorful theme.
Ward 3 Alderman Pat Long, the brainchild of the concept, said the four meters together have been collecting an average of $100 a week.
The money goes to the New Horizons soup kitchen and shelter.
Depending on your perspective, the meters have a secondary or primary purpose: to deter panhandling. In this regard, it's perhaps not surprising that the most productive meters are located in the spots most popular with panhandlers, outside City Hall and near Margarita's restaurant.

NHIAA Tennis: Bedford is championship-focusedBy HARRY KOZLOWSKI
Special to the Union Leader
May 18. 2013 12:00AM
BEDFORD -- The seniors on the Bedford High School boys' tennis team have never known anything other than championship seasons. In fact, they've lost only once in 65 team matches.
After completing a rain-delayed match with Exeter this week, the Bulldogs are undefeated once again, owners of a 14-0 record entering the postseason, their first in Division I after winning the last three Division II (formerly Class I) titles.
But when you ask the coaches and players what the secret is to their sustained success, no one steps forward to take the credit.
The coaches cite the intense work ethic of their players. The players point to the coaches who keep them focused when so much success could make them complacent.
But there is no denying the combination of coaches and players make Bedford one of the current dynasties in New Hampshire high school sports.
The Bulldogs are led by Shawna Morley, Bedford's head coach since 2008 and before that the head coach at Manchester West, with whom she won a state title in 2005.
That year's West — made up mostly of Bedford kids, before the opening of Bedford High — upset powerhouse Concord, interrupting the Crimson Tide's string of nine Class L boys' tennis titles in 10 years.
"It's the boys," Morley said of her success. "They're serious about their tennis."
Morley says her players' commitment includes extra work outside of practices, setting up their own matches against each other to work on their skills, and playing in the offseason.
Her assistant coach, Bob Luby, who also heads Bedford's feeder program at the middle school level, concurs.
"I think it's all the kids," he said. "They work very, very hard."
Bedford's senior captains, James Delahunty and McKinley Grimes, credit their coaches for keeping them focused and in control of their game.
"They do a lot for us. I'm really thankful for them," said Grimes, adding that the most important thing Morley does is keep the players focused.
A glance at the Bulldogs' match-by-match results may give the impression the team has had it easy this season. Nine of its victories have been by shutout, four others by a score of 8-1. The only relatively close victory came against Londonderry, by a 6-3 score on May 10.
But most of those 9-0 and 8-1 team victories included hard-fought individual matches that could have gone either way, Grimes said.
And that's a good thing, the Bulldogs believe. Complacency would be a danger if winning started feeling automatic.
"We treat every team we play the same," said Delahunty. "That's where the coaches help out. They keep the team from getting too high or low."
All six Bedford seniors will soon be off to college, where most plan to continue their tennis careers.
Grimes will attend Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Delahunty will attend the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, where he will pursue his other athletic passion: boxing.
But graduation doesn't necessarily end involvement in Bedford tennis. Morley says former players, including Myles Utell, often come back to help tutor players.
Morley said Utell, who was a 2011 state doubles champ along with Mark HoSang, is taking time off from college to serve as a volunteer coach this year.
Several other schools are relishing the chance to put a wrench in Bedford's pursuit of a fourth straight boys' tennis title, and Morley, as always, is keeping the Bulldogs focused.
Mention that Bedford already has played, and beaten, most of the tournament's other top seeds — including 13-1 Concord, 12-2 Exeter and 11-3 Londonderry — and she'll tell you that each of those teams was missing key players at the time they lost to the Bulldogs.
"There are five teams that feel they can win," she said, including Keene in that bunch.
Needless to say, Bedford is among the five, as well.

Two University of Rochester biologists, associate professors Vera Gorbunova and Heinrich Jasper, have won Glenn Awards for Research in Biological Mechanisms of Aging.
The $60,000 awards given by the Glenn Foundation for Medical Research are unsolicited, meaning that the researchers who win them do not apply directly, but are recommended by colleagues in their fields. A panel of judges chooses scientists that they believe are doing groundbreaking work that has the potential to shed light on the biological process of aging, and could benefit from an infusion of unexpected funding.
Jasper studies the role of stem cells in aging. Using fruit flies as a model organism, he hopes to address questions such as how stem cell function declines in aging animals, whether improving stem cell maintenance can extend lifespan, and how signaling mechanisms that govern metabolic adaptation and stress responses influence stem cell aging and lifespan.
Gorbunova studies long-lived and short-lived species of rodents to identify factors that determine longevity. She works with long-lived rodents such as the grey squirrel, the beaver, and the naked mole-rat, comparing various biological traits including genome stability and qualities of telomeres. A recent paper authored by her and Assistant Prof. Andrei Seluanov and published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences won the two researchers the Academy's 2009 Cozzarelli Prize. In the paper, the researchers show how naked mole-rats extremely long-lived rodents with lifespans of up to 30 years are shielded from developing cancer.

My baby is 3 days old and and has tongue tie. We are awaiting an appointment next Monday to have the procedure carried out to correct the problem. I have been breastfeeding her until today but it has got to the point that I can no longer physically take the pain. My nipples are so damaged that I have to peel my bra off because of the blood and after the last feed this evening I could not take any more.
On the recommendation of a bf counsellor I tried shields but these did not make a jot of difference to the pain, so tonight I have started expressing. I tied cup feeding but this did not work so have had to move to bottle. She took some earlier, but because I am playing catch up with getting milk ready for her, I have reluctantly bought some formula just in case I am unable to express enough for her. I tried her with this before and she would not take it, which leaves me feeling nervous about tonight as I currently only have 2oz of expressed milk available.
I have quite a few concerns......I nursed my first daughter for 3 years and felt so proud, I currently feel like I am letting my baby down by not providing her with the best. I am also concerned that when I try to return her to the breast following the tongue tie correction and my nipples healing, that she won't want to go back. I am unsure how I am going to be able to get ahead with the expressing so that she mainly has breasts milk and as little formula as possible -mid she will actually take it.
Any experience or reassurance would be greatly appreciated

I have evil black eyes of demonic doom!
My personal blog as a 'grown-up' Goth and Romantic living in the Highlands of Scotland. I write about the places I go, the things I see and my thoughts on life as a Goth and the subculture. Sometimes I write about music I like and sometimes I review things. This blog often includes architectural photography, graveyards and other images from the darker side of life.
The Gothic subculture is not just about imitating each other, it is a creative movement and subculture that grew out of post-punk and is based on seeing beauty in the dark places of the world, and looks back to the various ways throughout history in which people have confronted and explored the macabre, the dark and the taboo, and as such I'm going to post about more than the just the standards of the subculture (Tim Burton, Siouxsie Sioux and Anne Rice et al.) and look at things by people who might not consider themselves anything to do with the subculture, but have eyes for the dark places. Goth should not be limited by what is considered "goth", inspiration comes from all places, the key is to look with open eyes, listen carefully and think with an open mind..
