Martingales points out, this betting strategy is fundamentally flawed in practice and the inevitable long-term consequence is a large financial loss. The player decides what to do depending on what cards he has and what cards the dealer has showing. The house edge for 6-deck H17 Spanish 21 is 0.78%, but the house edge for 6-deck S17 Spanish 21 is only 0.37%. Blackjack pays 3:2, and always wins regardless of whether or not the dealer has a blackjack. Insurance is paid 2:1, just like in Blackjack, despite the fact that there are four less ten-valued cards per deck. Since a whole life policy has a cash value component, and a loan provision, it may be considered an asset; assigning the policy to a trust means that it can no longer be considered an asset for that individual. Blackjack in the web based as well as the land-based casinos is not a group game, while there may be many players around the table the dealer only plays with one player at a time

STATE COLLEGE, Pa., April 20 (UPI) -- Penn State University has given $5.76 million in retirement benefits and payments to the estate of the late football coach Joe Paterno, the university said.
The Centre Daily Times in State College, Pa., reported Friday the university had completed its obligations to the family estate with payment of a $3 million retirement bonus included in an August 2011 contract amendment.
The university said the Paterno estate received a total of $4.8 million cash and use of a Beaver Stadium suite for 25 years, while the university wrote off $350,000 the family owed the university, The (Allentown) Morning Call reported.
The total excludes $1,000 a month to Paterno's wife, Sue, for the rest of her life.
Money for the payments comes from the Penn State athletic department's reserve fund.
"The university and coach Paterno's estate have finalized the remaining payments due under coach Paterno's employment contract," Penn State spokesman Bill Mahon said.
Penn State's board of trustees, Mahon said, decided in November to honor the terms of Paterno's contract as if he had retired at the end of the 2011 season.
"That contract recognized coach Paterno's decades-long contributions to our football program and to the entire university," Mahon said.
In a statement Thursday, Paterno family attorney Wick Sollers said: "The university made payments today pursuant to coach Paterno's contract. In January, university officials acknowledged that they would fully honor the contract."
Paterno, who died of lung cancer in January, was fired Nov. 9 over his failure to act following allegations of sexual abuse by assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, who has been charged with sex crimes involving 10 boys.

Global finance chiefs wrestled with competing priorities for the global economy in Moscow today as U.S. growth and its impact on markets took center stage against a backdrop of a European recession.
Europe needs to do more to jumpstart its economy, Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said as his European Union counterparts prepared to defend their job-boosting efforts. Developing nations at the meeting of Group of 20 finance ministers and central bankers hailed the U.S. upturn, while warning that the Federal Reserve should be careful to avoid spooking markets if it ends its bond-buying program.
Speculation about developed economies scaling back their unprecedented monetary easing has roiled emerging-market currencies and bonds since G-20 finance chiefs last met in April. That prompted policy makers including Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke to refine their message.
"I think the crucial challenge is how the financial markets manage these signals and how they manage them in a way in which emerging markets and their currencies are not negatively affected," South African Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan said in an interview with Bloomberg Television.
Bernanke has now "done enough" to convey that U.S. policy won't change overnight, giving the rest of the world time to adjust, Gordhan said. The dollar weakened 0.3% to 100.27 yen at 3:22 p.m. in Moscow, as investors pared back expectations of how quickly the Fed would begin to scale back asset purchases.
'Shared Opinion'
G-20 finance chiefs have a "shared opinion" that the global economy needs a common strategy for how to manage quantitative easing efforts, Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov told reporters in Moscow today. He said growth rates in emerging economies are weakening, showing that those countries may not be able to propel the world economy forward on their own.
"Emerging markets in central and eastern Europe and elsewhere are right to be concerned given the narrative coming out of Frankfurt, the U.S. and Japan," said Mujtaba Rahman, director at the Eurasia Group in New York. "Their performance has not been driven by fundamentals, and forthcoming changes to monetary policy are going to make emerging markets look particularly vulnerable."
Global finance chiefs are counting on the U.S. to carry the recovery as they look for ways to improve prospects in their home economies. Bernanke is "very conscious of the global responsibility of the U.S.," French Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici told Bloomberg Television today.

Sonakshi Sinha turns 30
It demanded a 'Dabangg' lass to dare share the screen with Salman Khan, and get away with her share of fame! Sonakshi Sinha not only enlivened the screen with her 'hatke' looks but also matched the impactful screen presence of Salman Khan with her charm.
Post her debut, she starred in A-list films with the creme de la creme (Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor) of Bollywood, and also featured in 4 films which are in the coveted 100 crore club.
Not satisfied with her accomplishments, Sonakshi, with her innumerable on-screen outings as the Bharatiya nari, has also robbed Priyanka Chopra of the title of "Desi girl".
Here is a look at the life and career of Sonakshi Sinha, who turns 30 today.

Click here for The Children First Foundation press release
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Priests for Life joins The Children First Foundation in calling for Gov. Andrew Cuomo to approve the pro-child, pro-adoption, pro-woman New York "Choose Life" license plate.
Father Frank Pavone, National Director of the New York-based Priests for Life, issued the following statement today.
"The words 'Choose Life' can hardly be considered controversial, yet they are vitally important in the fight to save the unborn. Anything that gets people thinking about the choice that's being made when a mother enters an abortion clinic is a good thing. Abortion profiteers and their political supporters are obviously threatened by the thought that someone, somewhere, sometime might choose an alternative to abortion. Gov. Cuomo now has the opportunity to demonstrate that he is truly in favor of choice by approving these license plates for New York drivers.
"Already on the roads in many states, "Choose Life" plates do not just represent a catchy slogan. They will save lives."
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.

Souhegan boys, Coe-Brown girls rule in Division II track championship
By DAVID CORRIVEAU
Special to the Union Leader
Garnick leads Bishop Guertin High to 11th straight NHIAA indoor track title
NHIAA Div. I & Div. II Track and Field Results
HANOVER - By spreading the burden among the many, the boys of Souhegan of Amherst repeated history and the girls of Coe-Brown Northwood Academy made history at the New Hampshire Division II track championships Sunday at Dartmouth College's Leverone Field House.
While Souhegan's Sabers were defending their championship with 50 points to spare over second-place Portsmouth with two wins from junior hurdler and high jumper Ben DeForest, Coe-Brown seized the first indoor title since the girls' program started competing indoors 15 years ago, by 10 points over nearest pursuer Milford.
Alley Savioli won Coe-Brown's only individual event by throwing the shot put 36 feet, 6.25 inches to edge Milford's Camryn Johnson by less than a foot, but her teammates backed her up with a wide range of top-six performances.
"The great thing about our team is that we have so much depth," freshman distance runner Elisabeth Danis said after finishing second to rival Milford's Courtney Hawkins in the 1,500 and 3,000-meter races. "We don't just have one person doing all the scoring."
Coe-Brown also had Jelessa Nelson running second to Conant's Kathareeya Tonyai in the 55-meter dash (in which CB's Lauren Montgomery earned a point for sixth place), while senior Katelyn Terry finished third in the 1,000-meter run, freshman Brooke Laskowsky placed fourth in the 3,000, Sam Donohue threw the shot 31-6.5 for two fifth-place points, and Samantha Toscano placed sixth in the long jump. The team secured the title by placing second to Hanover in the final event of the meet, the 4-by-200-meter relay, to go with a third in the 4-by-800 and a sixth in the 4-byp400.
The only question surrounding Souhegan's Sabers was how far behind they would see the other boys in their rear-view mirror. Ben DeForest set the tone by winning his second straight Division II title in the 55-meter hurdles (7.78 seconds to 8.02 runner-up Patrick Fitzgerald of Windham) and by clearing the bar in the high jump at 6 feet, 2 inches in fewer tries than second-place Kyle Cayer of Portsmouth and Jarad Asselin of Milford. Meanwhile, fellow Sabers Jacob Kittredge (1 minutes, 25.24 seconds) and Sam Ballard (1:25.77) delivered a 1-2 punch at the head of the pack raced in the 600-meter race and Kittredge added a fourth-place finish at 1,000 meters.
For insurance, Tanner Kent won the 300-meter dash in 36.92 seconds and ran third in the 55, while Eli Moskowitz placed second in the 1,500 and fourth in the 3,000, Ryan Hinrichs ran second in the 3,000 and Patrick Lynch supplied two points with fifth place in the 1,500. Souhegan relay teams also struck gold in the 4-by-400 and the 4-by-800.
"The pressure's definitely on when you're coming back as champion, but this feels good," DeForest said. "It's the right kind of pressure."
If Hanover senior Aidan Bardos was feeling any pressure to repeat her 2011 and 2012 victories in the 600-meter race, it didn't show Sunday. She patiently rode the shoulder of Windham sophomore Kristen Tilley for two laps, then kicked past her at the bell for the final lap and ran away to victory in 1:39.35 to Tilley's 1:41.79. And Bardos had enough left to run the anchor legs of Hanover's victories in the back-to-back 4-by-400 and 4-by-200 relays.
"My coaches were saying, 'Focus on one race at a time,'" Bardos said after leading the Marauders to a third-place team finish overall. "I tried to push everything else out of my head going into the 600. But I was glad that the boys' relay (4 by 400) took a while (with four separate heats). I had enough time to recover."
Courtney Hawkins kept Milford's girls in the hunt for the team title by winning the 1,500 in 4:57.36 and the 3,000 in 10:28.2. Also claiming victories in the competition for girls were Goffstown's Michelle Tremblay in the 300-meter dash (in 41.8 seconds) Oyster River freshman Maegan Doody in the 1,000 (3:04.37, to go with a third-place finish in the 1,500), and Monadnock senior Jenna Athanasopoulos in the 55-meter hurdles. Athanasopoulos outleaned twin sister Michaela for that title, while Michaela outleaped Jenna by 1.25 inches for second place in the long jump, which Goffstown's Brooke Simmons won with a final flight of 16-5.5.
Simmons also forged a three-way tie for second with Lebanon's Lauren Anikis and Souhegan's Sarah Hurd in the high jump, behind Milford freshman Olivia Rougeau of Milford.
Joining DeForest among boys winning two events each was Coe-Brown junior Jeremy Brassard with a 1,500-meter time of 4:14.16 and a 9:05.28 in the 3,000. Other Granite State boys reaching the winner's circle were Merrimack Valley's Andrew Alicea in the 55 dash (6.76 seconds), Belmont's Joseph Boles in the 1,000, Kearsarge senior Gabe Carter in the long jump (20 feet, 7.5 inches to 20 feet even for Kennett's Michael Mason), and Tommy Hughes with a shot put of 48-0.75.

FITCHBURG — It is the first time in 22 years Kris M. McDole can say she is not homeless. The 40-year-old moved to Fitchburg after voluntarily leaving the state's foster care system when she was 18 and has hopped from friends' and family members' homes, lived in hidden camps in the woods or stayed in abandoned properties since.
FITCHBURG — It is the first time in 22 years Kris M. McDole can say she is not homeless.
The 40-year-old moved to Fitchburg after voluntarily leaving the state's foster care system when she was 18 and has hopped from friends' and family members' homes, lived in hidden camps in the woods or stayed in abandoned properties since.
The Texas native said she hasn't seen her mother in 10 years; her sister for even longer.
"God tells me to go where he tells me," she said. "I don't know why. He says go and I go."
Monday night, she was in a bed in her small, one-bedroom apartment on Adams Street that she shares with close friend Miles L. Rupert, who is a self-described chronic marijuana user and reformed alcoholic who was also homeless for more than 10 years. Both are disabled — Ms. McDole mentally and Mr. Rupert physically — and said they can afford the $650 a month for the apartment that includes heat and hot water with the Social Security disability benefits they receive from the state.
Before that, they were sleeping in a small tent at a hidden campsite in the woods in an area known as the Greek part of the city near the abandoned Nockege River Mills furniture factory along the Nashua River on Main Street. They said another homeless friend told them about the spot, which is home to a half-dozen street homeless at times.
"I couldn't sleep the first night in the apartment," Ms. McDole said while sitting on the tailgate of Kevin J. MacLean's truck parked just outside her former campsite. Mr. MacLean, director of homeless services at Our Father's House, helped the couple get into their apartment.
"I was used to being out here," she said. "It was weird. I had insomnia."
Mr. MacLean said he knew the couple was living in the woods and tried to catch them for weeks to offer them some help, with no luck. Once he made contact, he told them he had a landlord who was willing to help. Mr. MacLean said he used money from a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grant to pay for their down payment on the apartment.
Mr. Rupert said they tried to get an apartment for years, but no one would rent to them. The couple didn't want to be in a shelter because there are curfews and "you cannot get high," he said.
In the mornings, the pair would head to the Hope Center on River Street for coffee and lunch, Mr. Rupert said, and would have dinner at Our Father's House and Our Father's Table in the evenings.
Mr. Rupert said they preferred the woods over the homeless camps underneath several of the city's bridges, including the Laurel Street Bridge near Route 12 where 49-year-old Paul J. Richard's body — an alcoholic with a history of homelessness, according to Mr. MacLean — was found in the Nashua River last week. The autopsy is still pending.
The large, stone block arches under the bridge are called "wind tunnels" by the street homeless because they help block the wind in frigid temperatures, Mr. Rupert said.
"You hear things out on the street about the wind tunnels and people getting stabbed under there," Mr. Rupert said. "I'm not going down in some place and putting myself in danger. This was not the safest, but it was better than the wind tunnels."
Mr. Richard was homeless off and on for at least 10 years, Mr. MacLean said, and was admitted to recovery programs for his alcoholism, but always relapsed. The man he described as a "harmless, gentle soul" showed up at Our Father's House bloody in May after getting drunk and falling and was transported to detox by ambulance, he said.
"We're a safe haven — people know we're a sober shelter and know if they come to our door, we'll triage them and get them help right away," he said. "It is not just about shelter beds. We have to be part of the solution."
In Mr. Richard's case, Mr. MacLean said he was working harder to keep him sober than Mr. Richard was.
Deputy Police Chief Paul C. Bozicas said the violence under the Laurel Street Bridge is usually among the homeless themselves and they are usually cooperative when police need assistance.
Several months ago, police responded to a stabbing there — one homeless man against another, he said.
The city's street homeless choose the bridges downtown along the river, he said, because they are centrally located near Main Street and they are a short walk to Central Plaza where there is a supermarket, pharmacy, liquor store, Laundromat and other resources. The homeless are also not easily visible under the bridges, he said.
"They tend to stay out of sight — out of sight, out of mind," the deputy chief said. "And, they don't have regular modes of transportation. Our role as enforcers of the laws is to make sure they are not preying on each other or are not victimized."
Ms. McDole said she was beaten and raped multiple times in her 20s while homeless in Fitchburg, but "that (expletive) doesn't happen anymore." She and Mr. Rupert said they are determined to stay in their new home.
Grace K. Carmark, executive director of the Central Massachusetts Housing Alliance, which provides services for the homeless, said it is dangerous for individuals or families to remain unsheltered.
The number of unsheltered homeless is higher in northern Worcester County, she said, because there are not as many resources available to them.
"Sometimes folks who are street homeless might be actively using a substance and there aren't facilities in northern Worcester County for them to access shelter indoors if they are not clean and sober," she said.
The focus the last few years has turned to rehousing homeless, she said, to get people into their own apartment and off the street, rather than place them into a big, institutional shelter. Agencies then work with them long-term and provide services to keep them in their own home, she said.
"The philosophy these days is that people do better if they are placed into their own housing unit," she said. "They have a variety of issues and if mental health or substance abuse is an issue, they are not comfortable being placed in a big shelter. If they feel safe and can make a new start, it can make all the difference in the world."
Mr. MacLean said there are 52 street homeless in Fitchburg that he knows about and estimates there are as many more he doesn't.
The 28 beds at Our Father's House have all been full for about a week, he said. Usually he has eight to 12 beds available in the summer, he said, and is at full capacity in the colder weather.
"I'm full right now and have a waiting list," he said. "I don't know if it is the heroin scaring people and if that is why it is full," he said, referring to the dozens of recent suspected heroin deaths in Worcester County under investigation.
But, the former newspaper editor who said that he "got hooked" on helping the homeless when he went to Philadelphia for a story on a soup kitchen that fed 500 homeless each night, doesn't wait for the homeless to show up on the doorstep of the shelter. He goes to where the street homeless are and does what he can to help, including providing them with blankets, socks, food and other items, and access to medical and mental health services. He also tries to get those who need it into detox, he said.
About 40 percent of the street homeless he works with use heroin, he said, including a 26-year-old woman who "is tricking" to support her four-gram-a-day heroin habit.
"This is the only shelter around other than in Greenfield and Worcester," he said. "If you went to Worcester and said you were from Fitchburg, they would have sent you back here. You have to be from Worcester or a bordering town. Chronic homelessness is down, but I'm seeing a lot of new faces."

Salvete omnes,
I'm struggling to find a difference (if any) between the two constructions I mention in the Subject of this post, namely the use of cum + the pluperfect subjunctive and ablative absolute.
I am just starting my first foray into Bradley's Arnold Latin Prose Composition (cross your digitos for me) and I'm concerned about some of my translations.
Are the following two Latin sentences equal to each other? Are there any shades of difference that I'm not catching on to?
Exercise 1.10: "Having heard this, he halted for three hours, but at mid-day began his march again."
a) Cum hoc audivisset, tres horas constitit, meridie vero iter facere rursus coepit.
b) Hoc audito, tres horas constitit, meridie vero iter facere rursus coepit.
The text says that these two constructions make up for the lack of a past active participle in Latin, but I am wondering if they can be used interchangeably.

Google Covers Even More Ground With Google Catalogs
Is there anything that Google doesn't do? It appears not. It's even come along and revitalized the catalog market now with the iPad app Google Catalogs.
I remember the golden days of catalogs (or catalogues as people on my side of the Atlantic call them), when people would have huge booklets of pretty photos and information about various products, all so that they could browse stores from the comfort of their sofa. This app does pretty much that while saving effort, paper and space by allowing users to browse from their ever-stylish iPad devices.
The app offers a variety of different catalogs, much like the web based version of Google Catalogs that was was discontinued in 2009. Numerous top brands are on offer, such as Antrhopologie, Bare Escentuals, Bergdorf, Goodman, Crate and Barrel, L.L. Bean, Lands' End, Macy's, Neirman Marcus, Nordstrom, Pottery Barn, Saks Fifth Avenue, Sephora, Sundance, Tea Collection, Urban Outfitters and Williams-Sonoma, as well as others that I'm far too uncool/British to know about. It comes to over 100 in all.
The app is simple to use with the ability to zoom in to see products up close, find products in nearby stores and view photo albums and videos. Viewing items according to price is simple enough also. Users can then create their own collages of favorite collections of products and they can get instant access to new catalogs through the app as soon as they become available. Purchasing is similarly easy with a single tap taking users to a merchant's website or information about the nearest store.
Most intriguing of all is that this app has come to the iPad before Android devices. While we're not ones to encourage rivalry between the formats, it is a curious development. Presuambly an Android version will follow in the future.
Either way, Google Catalogs is out now for the iPad and it's a free app.

Trick or Treat Jobs ReportWritten by Stephen Lendman Subject: Economy - Economics USA
by Stephen Lendman
Friday's headline number belies dire economic reality. Main Street's in protracted Depression. Nearly 25 million Americans are jobless.
Real unemployment approaches 23%. On November 6, Americans vote. Neither candidate proposed ways to create jobs. Obama's done more to destroy them than create them. More on that below.
Hours worked and income gains were missing in Friday's report. Average weekly hours for production and nonsupervisory workers declined 0.3%. Weekly manufacturing hours dropped by the same amount. So did average weekly earnings.
Aggregate weekly hours represents total labor input. It edged up a meager 0.1% for private sectors workers. At the same time, it fell that amount for production and nonsupervisory ones. Doing so shows weakness, not strength.
Unemployment duration rose to 40.2 weeks. It represents a 10-month high. Moreover, recently laid off workers are hard-pressed to find jobs. Hardest hit are African Americans, Latinos and 20 - 24 year olds.
Sandy's impact is also adverse. Expect income and spending to suffer. So will job creation. Most affected homeowners have no flood insurance. During hard times, their ability to rebuild and recoup is hampered.
One economist assessed conditions this way. Don't mistake headline jobs figures for economic health. Productivity, top and bottom line erosion signify decline, not growth.
Economist Jack Rasmus analyzes monthly jobs figures. He questions BLS data accuracy. He told Progressive Radio News Hour listeners that something is very wrong with the numbers.
Each fall and winter, well above trend job gains are reported. In contrast, every spring/early summer gains "collapse. There is indeed something going on with the jobs numbers, though it's not falsification," says Rasmus.
At the same time, employers are replacing full-time workers with part-time/temp ones. They're paid less with lower benefits. In addition, fictitious new business formations exaggerate job creation.
Something indeed is wrong with BLS reports. With elections days away, Friday's was very suspect. Later downward revisions may erase November 2 gains.
Moreover, Rasmus and other independent economists expect protracted hard times. Layoff notices are increasing. Throughout 2012, business investment declined precipitously.
Q III equipment and software numbers collapsed to zero. Business spending on buildings declined 4.4%. These figures represent rapid deceleration. Nothing ahead looks promising. So-called evidence that housing is recovering is illusory.
Expect consumers to run out of steam. Around 90% of households are maxing out on credit cards and drawing down savings. Watch for that to end ahead. What can't go on forever won't.
Moreover, global growth is contracting rapidly. Spillover will impact America. In 2013, expect reality to arrive with a bang. In Q III, US exports declined for the first time in three years.
Global trade overall is contracting. So is US manufacturing. In mid-October, the Global Europe Anticipation Bulletin (GEAB) maintains "Red Alert" conditions.
"Economic shock" could arrive any time, it says. Global conditions are rapidly deteriorating. Western economies, the Middle East, North Africa, East and Central Asia are affected.
GEAB said, "Remember Lehman Brothers….in a few hours the world moved from 'normal' to 'Red Alert' mode!" Some analysts expect Lehman on steroids ahead. The fullness of time will tell.
Counterproductive Euroland/US policies may hasten its arrival.
Economies don't prosper by prioritizing militarism over domestic needs, destroying their middle class, denying young workers future opportunities, letting unemployment rise, and substituting low pay/poor benefit/part-time or temp jobs for higher paying/good benefit full-time ones.
Bad policies beget bad results. Substituting short-term gains for what's vital longer-term assures economies in decline. Prosperity depends on job creation, income growth, and governments serving everyone equitably.
America and Europe are being third-worldized. It may arrive sooner than most expect. Expect conditions ahead to be worse than 2008. China's heading for a hard landing.
Europe's in recession. Insolvent banks may collapse. Sovereign crisis conditions make things worse. A potential Euroland breakup may follow.
Money creation madness solves nothing. At most, it creates the illusion of all's well. Reality always has the last word.
Summing up conditions overall, one analyst said half the world's in recession, Europe's in big trouble, and major central banks are running out of bullets. Potentially, a perfect storm awaits.
Greece and Spain are canaries in the coal mine. They're doing everything wrong and heading for collapse. It's just a matter of time.
What happens to them affects the continent. As Europe goes, America follows or vice versa. Paul Craig Roberts headlined his latest assessment "The Virtual Economic Recovery," saying:
Rigged inflation numbers created it since mid-2009. Everyone who eats, drives a car, heat and/or air conditions a home, has health insurance and other medical expenses, pays college tuitions, and travels "knows that low inflation is" illusory.
Based on how calculated in the 1980s, it's 9%. Coverup suppresses truth, and not just on inflation. "Everything is a lie to serve power-brokers," says Roberts.
Officially, recession ended in mid-2009. If fact, it continues. Distorted GDP reporting masks it. Reliable economic measures show decline, not recovery. Hard times are worsening.
Official numbers are statistical illusions. Fake inflation numbers create the deception. Media scoundrels report them like gospel. They claim economic recovery instead of explaining a protracted Main Street Depression. More on that below.
"(G)government propaganda produces a make-believe virtual reality that bears no relationship to" what ordinary people experience day to day.
"As long as Americans believe" what Washington tells them, "they are doomed." Official reports turn reality on its head. Joe Sixpack can explain economic conditions better than talking-head economists.
"Americans are far more oppressed by the power brokers in Washington than statistics display. Moreover, the young are born into the oppressive, exploitative American system and do not know any different."
"They are fed by the Presstitute media with endless propaganda about how fortunate they are and how indispensable their wonderful country is."
"Americans are kept in a constant state of amusement, and many never grasp" the true state of things. Eventually it'll hit home like a hammer. "America is on the path to collapse or tyranny." Perhaps both.
At the same time, US dominance will wane. People everywhere "will sigh with relief." It can't happen a moment too soon.
America's "newspaper of record" fronts for Obama. It backs the worst of his policies. Instead of condemning what causes so much harm to so many, it praises his domestic and foreign agenda.
On November 2, its editorial headlined "Jobs Are Growing, Not Stagnating."
Obama "was right (claiming) 'real progress.' "
"In fact, the jobs recovery has not been derailed; it is showing signs of acceleration."
Fact check
Twenty-five million without jobs say where's the recovery. Nearly one-fourth of working age Americans without employment signifies decline, not growth. Rotten jobs replacing good ones highlights it.
Waging war on humanity instead of rebuilding America and prioritizing equitable government for everyone accentuates it. Longstanding NYT policy supports wealth, power and privilege. Ordinary people have no friend in Times Square.
Instead of reporting accurately on Obama's record, The Times claims he "asserted his employment agenda, including school and infrastructure rebuilding and aid to states to hire teachers."
He also adopted "a responsible approach to deficit reduction, including preserving tax cuts for most Americans while letting the high-end Bush tax cuts expire."
Fact check
Obama is more jobs destroyer than creator. He appointed corporate predator/GE chairman/CEO Jeff Immelt as Council on Jobs and Competitiveness head.
His idea of jobs creation is corporate and high-end earner tax cuts, more deregulation, and unfair/one-sided "free" trade in return for small numbers of low pay/poor benefit part-time or temp jobs.
Obama's done nothing to stop massive teacher layoffs. His Race to the Top is a dagger in the heart of public education and harmful fallout from privatizing it.
His notion of deficit reduction is make ordinary people pay. Cut programs they need most. Prioritize military spending, generous corporate handouts and tax cuts, as well as special benefits for America's rich.
He didn't let "high-end Bush tax cuts expire." He extended them. "Romney has no good ideas and Mr. Obama has plenty," said The Times.
On issues mattering most, not a dime's worth of difference separates them. Supporting either assures the worst of hard, repressive times. Sandy sufferers got an early taste.
For good reason, another article said vote independent or stay home. There's no in between.

Three members of the Barrymore family--Ethel, John, and Lionel--are honored on this single stamp. Ethel Barrymore, daughter of an actor and actress, made her New York stage debut in 1896 with her uncle, the celebrated John Drew. Between 1922-1926, she principally performed Shakespearean roles. In 1928, she inaugurated the Ethel Barrymore Theater in New York City.
Ethel's brother John was the youngest of the three children. He worked as an illustrator for two New York newspapers before taking to the stage. His first important role was in 1910 and seven years later teamed with brother Lionel in Peter Ibbetson. He moved to Shakespeare and in 1922 was regarded as the top Shakespearean actor of the time. John moved from the stage to film in 1923 and was a radio actor in the latter part of his career. Lionel Barrymore first performed in 1893 at the age of 15. His early interest was art, and some of his early etchings were published. His introduction to film was in 1915, opposite Mary Pickford, in The New York Hat. He began a tradition in 1934 of playing Ebenezer Scrooge in Dickens' A Christmas Carol in annual Christmas presentations.

Bay Broadband Co-operative
The Bay Broadband Co-operative is a 'not for profit' Social Enterprise Co-operative, set up originally to bring High Speed Broadband to our rural village which had no other means of Broadband connection.
Although a large number of properties in the area now have access to regular ADSL broadband, many of the outlying farms and houses still have severely limited or no access due to the distance from the exchange. With over 150 regular users we are able to offer a high speed and economical wireless Internet access throughout most of Robin Hood's Bay, Fylingthorpe and the surrounding farms to both residents and visitors. We have recently upgraded the system by adding a high speed fibre link into Whitby and then 'beaming' this via microwave dishes to Robin Hoods Bay. This has been helped with funding through NYnet and defra.
For further information about our group please select the 'About' link.
Most modern laptops now contain a wireless card and so it is easy to connect. Following the normal method to find available wireless connections should list RHBMesh, it is then a simple matter to select connect. Having done this, open your web browser and on trying to access most pages, you should be re-directed to a 'splash page' which will ask for a user name and password. These can be obtained by following the instructions, or following these links..
How to connect
Buying access
Many residents can now connect as above. However, we prefer to use a different method of authentication which removes the need to log in regularly. There is also a large choice of wireless aerials which can give superior performance to the ones built into laptop computers. On registering interest in joining, a member of our team of volunteers can visit your location and undertake a site survey to advise on the equipment which will give the optimum performance.

Potter wasp
Potter wasps (or mason wasps), the Eumeninae, are a cosmopolitan wasp group presently treated as a subfamily of Vespidae, but sometimes recognized in the past as a separate family, Eumenidae.
Most eumenine species are black or brown, and commonly marked with strikingly contrasting patterns of yellow, white, orange, or red (or combinations thereof), but some species, mostly from tropical regions, show faint to strong blue or green metallic highlights in the background colors. Like most vespids, their wings are folded longitudinally at rest. They are particularly recognized by the following combination of characteristics: 1) a posterolateral projection known as a parategula on both sides of the mesoscutum; 2) tarsal claws cleft; 3) hind coxae with a longitudinal dorsal carina or folding, often developed into a lobe or tooth; and 4) fore wings with three submarginal cells.
Eumenine wasps are diverse in nest building. The different species may either use existing cavities (such as beetle tunnels in wood, abandoned nests of other Hymenoptera, or even man-made holes like old nail holes and even screw shafts on electronic devices) that they modify in several degrees, or they construct their own either underground or exposed nests. The nest may have one or several individual brood cells. The most widely used building material is mud made of a mixture of soil and regurgitated water, but many species use chewed plant material, instead.
The name "potter wasp" derives from the shape of the mud nests built by species of Eumenes and similar genera. It is believed that Native Americans based their pottery designs upon the form of local potter wasp nests.[2]
All known eumenine species are predators, most of them solitary mass provisioners, though some isolated species show primitive states of social behaviour and progressive provisioning.
When a cell is completed, the adult wasp typically collects beetle larvae, spiders, or caterpillars and, paralyzing them, places them in the cell to serve as food for a single wasp larva. As a normal rule, the adult wasp lays a single egg in the empty cell before provisioning it. Some species lay the egg in the opening of the cell, suspended from a thread of dried fluid. When the wasp larva hatches, it drops and starts to feed upon the supplied prey for a few weeks before pupating. The complete lifecycle may last from a few weeks to more than a year from the egg until the adult emerges. Adult potter wasps feed on floral nectar.
Potter wasps are the most diverse subfamily of vespids, with more than 200 genera, and contain the vast majority of species in the family (more than 3200 species from a total of about 4500 in the whole family). The overwhelming morphological diversity of the potter wasp species is reflected in the proliferation of genera described to group them into more manageable groups.

You might ask George H.W. Bush, who lost to Bill Clinton 10 years ago despite an impressive military victory in the Persian Gulf. Almost a decade later – on the heels of an impressive military victory in Iraq – the future of another Bush presidency could hinge on the state of the economy. The bottom line is that most Americans vote their wallets in presidential elections, and that could spell trouble for the current occupant of the White House.
"If we have an economic recovery, the President will be unbeatable. If we have a double digit recession, then the president is beatable by anybody," political analyst Stuart Rothenberg told hundreds of business leaders at Delta Council's 68th annual meeting in Cleveland.
"If we continue to stagger along with minimal economic growth, that's the gray area. Then the outcome of the next presidential election depends on how the president is performing in other areas, and what sort of opponent the president draws. Does he draw Howard Dean and win, or does he draw Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina?"
A political handicapper, Rothenberg says his job is to provide voters with a scorecard of sorts, telling who's got the advantage, who's winning and who's losing the game of politics.
"Anybody who, at this point, is predicting that Bush is certainly going to win, or certainly going to lose, should be ignored. Either they have a partisan axe to grind, or they are delusional," he says.
That's not to say there aren't a few guideposts to follow as we inch closer to election time. Rothenberg recommends keeping a close watch on Bush's job approval numbers, both overall and with regards to the economy, as well as the economic growth numbers, the Dow and the NASDAQ indices. "These numbers will give you a good sense of how the president is doing."
Currently, President Bush's job approval rating nationally is anywhere between 65 and 72 percent, which Rothenberg calls "extraordinary." While not quite the 90 percent approval Bush enjoyed immediately following the attacks of 9-11, his current job approval rating is considered remarkable by many political analysts.
However, Rothenberg says, underneath that 65 percent number there's reason for Bush to worry. When Americans are asked if they approve or disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling the economy, the president's approval rating drops to anywhere between 48 percent and 52 percent.
"Even those numbers are slightly higher than they were when the war began. Even so, if you are George W. Bush, you are looking at that economic performance number because you remember back when your father ran for re-election," Rothenberg says.
When asked in other recent polls to rate the economy, Americans responded even more negatively, with 1 percent describing it as excellent, 34 percent as good, 46 percent as not so good, and 19 percent as poor.
"One out of five Americans says the economy is doing very poorly. If you add up the numbers rating the economy as either 'not so good' or 'poor,' you've got 65 percent. That's about the same number that is approving how George W. is doing as president," Rothenberg says.
That means, Rothenberg says, that one of two things is happening. Either people have a sense that the economy is starting to do better, or they are waiting until closer to November to measure and evaluate the president's performance primarily by the state of the economy, or their perception of the economy.
Also playing a role in the president's bid for re-election, are his tax cut plan and his prescription drug proposal for Medicare, both currently being debated in Congress. Rothenberg is critical of both the president's initiatives. "It's not because I don't think there should be a tax cut, and not because I do or do not want prescription drug benefits, but I think the President hasn't played the politics of it as well as he could have," he says.
"People don't want to be told they have to go to an HMO doctor in order to get a prescription drug benefit, particularly seniors. As far as the tax cut goes, I don't think the White House did a good enough job selling the package to show that it was going to boost the economy in the short term."
What's more, debate on the Bush tax cut proposal has resulted in a showdown in Congress with a difference in outlook and opinion between the Republican-controlled House, the Republican-controlled Senate, and the White House. "This is the worst thing for any political party. The Republicans have been divided and it has caused some anger, but now is appears the sides are moving closer," he says.
"The President needs this tax cut, and I understand that he'd like to see his $726 billion package passed. At the end of the day, though, if he can get a tax cut of $400 billion or $450 billion, he can at least go to the American public and say, 'we have done something,' Rothenberg says. "This is very different from his father, who said, 'we're coming out of this recession. The light is at the end of the tunnel. I can see it.' Well, he could see it, but apparently the voters couldn't see it."
In comparison, he says, George W. Bush can tell the voters that he's doing something, that he feels their pain, and that he's trying to do something about it. "And then, Bush is going to say, 'but it's not enough.' Now, for a politician, isn't that a great thing to be able to say. A couple of weeks ago Bush was looking to be in difficult shape, but the way it has worked out is actually better for him."
The bigger problem for George W. Bush, Rothenberg says, is that the election does not depend on the passage of his tax cut package, it depends on the economy. "If he's right, and the tax cut creates more value in the stock market, more optimism, more consumer confidence, more spending, more business investments, and more jobs, then the economy will improve. But ultimately for George W. Bush, it's the bottom line that matters. It is how the economy performs."
Rothenberg says the prescription drug coverage issue will be handled in "classic Bush" style. "Make a proposal. Back off when it takes significant criticism, and then say, 'Okay, you guys know generally what I want you do to. Work it out.' If the Republicans can do this on prescription drug coverage, they will go into the 2004 elections in pretty strong shape," he says.

Shopping sting trial: Judge gives defense time to research lawBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 29. 2013 10:16PM
MANCHESTER - The south Manchester resident arrested in a Christmas-season shopping cart sting brought his case to court Monday, telling a judge he'll never take it upon himself to return a lost item again.
"To be honest, I don't even want to pick up a quarter that's laying on the ground," Alexander Ramasci testified during an afternoon trial in Manchester District Court.
It will be at least three weeks before the judge issues a verdict.
Manchester police arrested Ramasci in early December, after he found a DVD player and a purse in an unattended shopping cart at the T.J. Maxx plaza on South Willow Street, put it in his car trunk and left.
"It was an early Christmas present for him. He just came upon this lost merchandise and wanted to take it home," prosecutor Rose Marie Balboni said in summing up the case.
But Ramasci's lawyer said his client planned to bring the items home, find an identification and track the owner, as his mother did when he found a wallet as a child.
"This is insane that we're setting people up to find things and not even giving them a reasonable amount of time to bring it home," said Joseph Kelly Levasseur.
Ramasci is charged with theft of lost or mislaid property. In a move unusual for a district court, Judge William Lyons gave Balboni and Levasseur 20 days to research the law on two legal issues.
One is what is a reasonable measure to take in returning property to its rightful owner. The other is the concept of legal impossibility. In doing so, Lyons appears to be paying heed to Levasseur's claim that the property wasn't lost because its owner, the Manchester Police Department, knew where it was.
During the trial, Lyons had to rein in Levasseur, who as an alderman has drawn the ire of police for his public references to a 2010 bar fight at the Strange Brew Tavern involving police.
"We're not here to try the police; we're here to try the defendant," Lyons said, after Levasseur questioned whether police knew the details of the law they had charged Ramasci with.
In testimony, police and Ramasci differed on several issues.
Ramasci said there were few available parking spots when he pulled up next to the shopping cart.
He said he didn't rummage through the purse, for fear someone would think he was a thief. He waited around a couple of minutes, then put the items in his trunk.
He went into Game Stop, returned to his car, left, and was pulled over.
He said detectives frisked him and started to accuse him of selling drugs. Detectives never spoke about the purse until they arrested him, he said.
"I was so thrown off guard by them accusing me of selling drugs, it never popped into my head," he said when asked why he didn't tell police about the purse.
In his testimony, Detective Michael Donahue said the parking lot had many available spaces when Ramasci pulled in about 7 p.m. on Dec. 3.
He said the young man pulled up to the shopping cart, rolled down his car window, rummaged through the purse, then pulled forward, parked the car, looked around, stashed the purse and merchandise in his trunk, went into Game Stop, returned to his car and took off.
When pulled over, he never spoke to the uniformed officer about the purse. And when detectives asked Ramasci about "suspicious activity" in the parking lot, Ramasci said he knew nothing. Donahue said he used a ruse about drug activity.
Balboni said Ramasci's many actions - putting the items in the trunk rather than the front seat, not telling people at Game Stop about his find, and not mentioning the purse when police pulled him over - show his guilt.
"A normal person who doesn't intend to steal things has a different reaction," Donahue said.
Lyons said he thinks no New Hampshire court cases have addressed the issue of reasonableness in theft charges, so he urged the lawyers to look to case law in other states. He said New Hampshire law may have some cases that deal with legal impossibility.
Ramasci was told not to show up to his part-time job at the Hooksett state liquor store after his arrest.
He said Monday he's been unable to get a job.

Four public swimming pools in Manchester will be open daily.
The locations are Dupont Pool, 207 Mason St.; Hunt Pool, 297 Maple St.; Livingston Pool, 300 D.W. Highway; and Raco Theodore Pool, 66 Head St.
The times for residents only run from 1 to 3 p.m. and 6 to 7 p.m. Open swim is offered from 3 to 4:45 p.m. and 7 to 7:45 p.m.
Crystal Lake, 679 Bodwell Road, will be open for residents only from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and an open swim from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
MANCHESTER — Thermometers weren't the only tell-tale sign that temperatures reached into the 90s for the second day in a row.
The line of about 50 people waiting to get into the city pool at Livingston Park on Tuesday was also pretty good indicator just how hot it was and what some were willing to do while seeking comfort.
"On the hot days like today, sometimes there will be more people than the capacity of the pool waiting to get in," said Peter Capano, chief of Manchester's Parks and Recreation department.
Maximum capacity at the pool is 325 people.
Not too long ago New Hampshire residents were slogging through a cool, rainy start to summer.
Nobody's complaining about the cool temperatures these days. The Granite State is in the midst of a heat wave that forecasters expect to run through the rest of the week.
The high Tuesday at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport was 94 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.
Meteorologist Mike Kistner of the NWS office in Gray, Maine, said it wasn't record-breaking heat, but temperatures throughout the Granite State have been running 10-to-12 degrees above normal.
While the North Country could see a little relief from rain today, Kistner said temperatures in southern New Hampshire are likely to keep reaching the low-to-mid 90s until the weekend.
Public health officials have been sending out advisories about the heat and offering tips on how to stay safe until it cools off. Communities have arranged public "cooling centers," where people who don't have air conditioning can escape the conditions outside.
One was at the Bedford Public Library, which will be open as a cooling shelter from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., through Thursday and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday.
"It's centrally located and it has air-conditioning, which is a big factor," Bedford Fire Chief Scott Wiggin said. "From Monday to Friday they're open late and they have the resources available for people to keep themselves occupied."
For some people, there was no escaping the heat — just enduring it.
Mike Kenney of the city Highway Department covered his head with a white T-shirt, which he periodically doused with cool water in between hauling wheelbarrows of hot asphalt during a paving project along Ash Street. He said the asphalt itself is about 375 to 400 degrees and combining that with the extreme temperatures makes for long days.
"With the rain for a while there, that was tough. That holds up our operation. When it's clear like this, no matter how hot, we've got to be out here getting it done," Kenney said. "Drink lots of water. Keep the head covered up. Try and hit some shade when you can. That's about the best you can do out here."
Just a block to the north, Jon Morris of Grasshoppers Landscaping in Goffstown was checking on a small garden wall one of his crews was building outside a home at the corner of Ash and Orange streets.
Morris said heat waves are a part of the industry and his workers know how to avoid overdoing it and are familiar with the risks of heatstroke.
"I run 13 guys out here. We're really conscientious about making sure they're hydrated," Morris said. "Make sure they work in a buddy system. Nobody works alone and everybody's kind of keeping an eye on each other. Hydrate. Hydrate. Hydrate. We can't stress it enough with our guys."

But we are physiologically built to synthesize vitamin D in the skin through the exposure of cholesterols to a specific range of UVB (including infants). This system is very finely tuned. Vitamin D acquisition from any food sources has been shown to be far less efficient than through photosynthesis. Because we are not build to get vitamin D primarily from dietary sources, I see no reason to believe that explanation a priori in this specific case.
In fact, the most recent paper available (Wagner et al., 2006) assessing infant supplementation (300 IU/d) versus maternal supplementation (6400 IU/d) shows that levels were not significantly different between the infant group on oral supplements and the infant group receiving vitamin D through breast milk alone. Furthermore, levels were still insufficient in each group after supplementation. This leads me to believe that vitamin D is uniquely not more bioavailable from breast milk compared to a supplement.
However, that paper is based on a pilot study (19 participants) and is by no means conclusive. If anyone can direct me to some published data showing otherwise I'm more than happy to recant my statements here, but based on what I've seen to date I'm pretty convinced that you can't compare vitamin D to other nutrients.
My impression is that breast milk is all an infant is meant to eat, but an infant is meant to get out in the sun too.

Alternative routes being laid out for gas pipeline expansion
By APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent
— Stewards of a conservation site facing "complete defacement" by the pending Northeast Expansion natural gas pipeline project presented an alternate plan to Hollis residents Monday evening at a special Board of Selectmen meeting.
It was standing room only at Hollis Town Hall on Monday night, where the majority of the 80 or so residents attending indicated that if they had to have a pipeline going through the town, they'd prefer it avoid the Beaver Brook area altogether.
At the meeting, members of the Beaver Brook Association (BBA) said they'd been working with an engineer to draft several potential routes for the natural gas pipeline.
In addition, town official cited also working with its legal counsel to voice their dismay about the project and explore what options are available in the months ahead.
According to BBA spokeswoman Celeste Barr, the association has easements on all of its lands, which specifically states its stance against having utilities crossing those sites.
BBA's conservation lands span more than 1,280 acres of forests, fields and wetlands in Hollis, as well as Brookline and Milford, according to the organization's website.
Barr said the association recently hired Tri-Mont Engineering to assist them in defining alternate routes, hoping to encourage Kinder Morgan avoid all conservation lands while using as many public right-of-ways as possible.
"We have a pretty good sense already that there's very little appetite for this pipeline to go through Beaver Brook or any of our residential lots," Chairman Mark Le Doux said Monday night.
While the board encouraged residents to save their comments for the coming week's public hearing, no one in the room raised their hands when asked if they'd prefer what's believed to be the original route being considered by Kinder Morgan.
Town Administrator Troy Brown encouraged citizens to email him and the board with any questions or concerns throughout this week.
"Right now, our objective it so share data so during the upcoming public hearing, we'll have a sense of the residents' preferences," Le Doux added.
BBA officials said this week they plan to reach out to Kinder Morgan in hopes of sharing their ideas.
While company officials have yet to reveal the exact route being proposed for the pipeline, initial surveying requests made to property owners and the BBA have already given locals a pretty good idea of what the company is considering.
As it appears based on that knowledge, the Hollis portion of the route being proposed by the gas distributor is an estimated 12 miles starting at the Pepperell, Mass. town border, crossing into Hollis and winding through the conservation site, town officials said this week.
At 15.8 miles, an alternate route being proposed by the BBA crosses Highland and Meadow streets, running parallel to Route 13 for eight miles and follows the existing utility corridor.
Two other routes proposed are of similar length and would both utilize existing utility corridors and public right-of-way. Maps of the three alternative sites may be viewed online at www.beaverbrook.org/pipeline/.
A public hearing on the alternative routes will be during the Monday, July 14 selectmen meeting. Residents are encouraged to contact Brown in the days leading up to that hearing. Brown can be emailed at email@example.com or by phone at 465-2780, ext. 103.

Yahoo's new product search engine combines the best aspects of the company's existing shopping platform with new advanced search features, including product information gathered from the entire web.
"In the online shopping space, there's been a rise of comparison shopping sites," said Rob Solomon, vice president Yahoo Shopping. "We think the best shopping sites will have advanced features. You have to be comprehensive."
Yahoo Product Search is indeed comprehensive, featuring millions of products from thousands of merchants on the web. Yahoo has also bolstered the site with additional content, such as product reviews, customer ratings of merchants, and a number of powerful enhancements to search functionality.
The back end of the new search engine has three parts. First are product listings from Yahoo's existing database of more than 17,000 merchants and an index of tens of millions of products who are part of the Yahoo Shopping platform. Yahoo has also introduced a new database of merchants and products who have purchased inclusion in Yahoo Product Search. The third component is a new product and merchant database created by Inktomi's crawling capabilities.
On the front end, the user interface has been redesigned to be cleaner and less cluttered. The result is a shopping search engine that is both broad and deep, and yet one that remains very easy to use.
Yahoo product search features all of the functionality you'd expect from a top-notch shopping search portal. You can browse categories, or search for products, across all categories or in one specific area.
Search results feature picture of a product with lowest prices and links to more information. You're also presented with a list of "related searches" links that can help you narrow your search. Depending on your query, these might be major brands or even specific product models. For example, related searches for the query "hp pavilion" include the models HP pavilion a250n, HP pavilion f70, HP pavilion ze5375us, and HP pavilion zd7001us.
Also included in search results are links that will re-run your search according to top brands or most popular products for your query. You also can compare up to ten products at one time, in a side-by-side chart.
Information pages for specific products displays features at a glance, user ratings, and prominent listings from "featured" merchants who are Yahoo advertising partners.
Yahoo has done an excellent job of supplementing product information with additional content that's very useful in helping you make purchasing decisions. User ratings, which can be submitted by anyone but are editorially reviewed before posting, rank products from one to five stars.
Yahoo's merchant rating system gathers feedback from shoppers and assigns a ranking of one to five stars, with five representing excellent service and one denoting poor service. What's more, merchants with a rating of less than two stars are removed from Yahoo Shopping.
Yahoo has also partnered with providers of other helpful information. Clicking the "buying advice" link beneath a product description offers access to detailed reviews from authoritative sources. For example, buying advice for a computer might be a review from PC World or Game Pro for video games.
Consumer Reports is a major partner with Yahoo product search. General product category overviews are available for free. You can also get detailed reviews of individual products. A $19.95 subscription gives you unlimited access to all reports for a year. Or you can purchase individual reports for $2.95.
Enhanced Search Features
Yahoo says that previously sixty to 70% of all users browsed for products. "That's changed pretty dramatically in the past year," says Solomon. Users are increasingly searching for products and information, and that's good news for merchants and advertisers who want targeted exposure to potential buyers.
The new Yahoo product recommender is seriously cool. Say you are looking for a digital camera. The Yahoo product recommender consists of several questions such as "how important is optical zoom" and "how important is brand." Next to each question is a graphical slider that you drag across a scale from "not important" to "most important." Your results are updated instantly, with what Yahoo calls "Your Personalized Top 10 based on the sliders above."
As it happens, I've been researching digital cameras, and the Yahoo product recommender nailed the specific models I've been looking at based on my criteria, and recommended a few others that look intriguing. The best part of these search results is that they zoom in on specific features for each product.
For example, the first result said "Fujifilm FinePix S7000 is full-sized. It is ranked first because it has excellent Resolution within your price range. This camera has better resolution than HP PhotoSmart 945xi shown next." Result #2: "HP PhotoSmart 945xi is full-sized. It is ranked second because it has great Resolution and the best Optical Zoom within your price range. This camera is less expensive and is smaller than HP PhotoSmart 945 shown next."
In my test, resolution and optical zoom were the features I specified as most important and important, respectively. Each result in turn focuses on these specific feature and compares the product with others on the page. It's a terrific tool, one that can quickly simplify the process of researching complex products with multiple features by letting you narrow in on the specific features that are important to you.
The Yahoo product recommender only works with digital cameras, at this point. Yahoo plans to roll out the feature over a number of other product categories over the coming months.
New Paid Inclusion and Placement Programs
Yahoo Shopping has expanded options for advertisers and merchants, offering a new cost-per-click (CPC) lead generation model. The new pricing structure that enables you to pay a cost-per-click price only when a consumer clicks on your product listing. Under the old program, Yahoo Stores and other large retail merchants were charged a revenue share on all orders that originated anywhere on Yahoo. In addition, the new Product Submit program is open to all merchants, regardless of size or whether they have a Yahoo store (now called Yahoo Merchant Solutions customers).
Two program are now available for Yahoo Product Submit: Paid inclusion in product search, where ranking of results is based entirely on relevance, and paid inclusion in Yahoo Shopping Buyers Guides, where merchants have the ability to influence the ranking of their listing.
The Product Submit program uses a self-serve model that works much like other paid inclusion programs.
The Buyer's Guides, also called Comparison Grids, are feature product descriptions, specifications, and a price and a store comparison grid that displays merchants who are selling a particular product. To participate in this program, you need to work through Yahoo's sales department.
Pricing for URLs submitted through the product submit program varies depending on the product category. Unlike bidding-based price-per-click programs offered by Overture, Google and others, Yahoo's prices per click are fixed, ranging from a low of $0.19 per click for categories such as apparel, books and general merchandise, to $1.25 per click for listings in the Flowers, Gifts and Registry > Flowers and Jewelry and Watches > Diamonds categories.
Yahoo has provided detailed Product Submit requirements, including several example feeds to help you structure your own. In addition, Yahoo also requires the following minimum criteria:
- Online Merchant – You must be an online merchant selling fixed-price products that can ship to the United States.
- Product Feed – You must create a data feed of your products and submit the file to Yahoo. This can be uploaded via spreadsheet using Yahoo's web-based tool or via FTP.
- Language – All products submitted must be described in English and listed in US dollars.
- Payment – All payment to Yahoo must be made in US dollars.
- Yahoo ID – In order to manage your account, you will be required to have a Yahoo ID.
To help merchants manage feeds, Yahoo has created a web-based management tool. To change or update any part of your product file you must submit the entire feed again.
Since Yahoo is including both paid inclusion URLs and information it has gathered from crawling the web, is it worth the price to pay to be included? The short answer for most merchants is yes, simply because of the degree of control you gain by submitting via a structured feed.
What about placement of results? According to Yahoo, "The default order of Yahoo Product Search results is determined by matching your search criteria against both the product title and product description. Because the results can match many products equally, Yahoo also takes into account other factors such as popularity of the product, user ratings/reviews and its relationship with the merchant."
This means that a well-optimized title and description for a product is likely to achieve higher rankings in search results. Since feeds can be re-submitted at any time with varying content, this is another compelling reason to participate in the program.
To sign up for the program, take a look at this detailed FAQ, which also has a button to start the sign-up procedure.
Google Goes Local
There's a new addition to Google Labs called Search by Location, which combines keyword search with geographic location. Simply enter your keywords together with a US address, city & state, or zip code, and results include a map highlighting the locations of top results. Clicking on highlighted locations connects users to the local web page.
By coincidence, Overture removed a beta demonstration of its new local search project today.
Danny Sullivan will be taking a closer look at both programs and the current state of local search in the October 7 issue of the Search Engine Report.

text: CT Scans for Children A computed tomography (CT or CAT) scan uses X-rays to quickly create cross-sectional pictures ("slices") of the body. This scan may be used as a surgical guide, to identify masses and tumors, or to study blood vessels. State-of-the-art software at Randall Children's Hospital allows for enhanced images, while exposing our young patients to less radiation - at least a 25 percent reduction, and sometimes 50 percent lower. What can I expect? We'll do everything we can to make your child comfortable during the scan. He or she will be asked to lie on their stomach, back, or side on a narrow table that slides into the center of the CT scanner. Then the machine's X-ray beam rotates around the table. Certain CT scans require a special dye, called contrast material, to highlight specific areas and create a clearer image. If contrast is required, your child may receive it through a hand or forearm vein or be asked drink it. FAQs How will it feel? Injected contrast material, may cause a slight burning sensation, a metallic taste in the mouth, and a warm flushing of the body. Your child should be told that these sensations are normal and will go away in a few seconds. During the scan it's important that your child lies as still as possible to make sure we get the sharpest images. He or she may be asked to hold their breath very briefly. Complete scans usually take only a few minutes. How should I prepare my child? If contrast material will be used, it's very important to tell the doctor if your child has iodine or seafood allergies, or any kidney problems. Your child may be asked not to eat or drink anything for 4-6 hours before the test. Your child should take all usual medications unless the doctor says not to. Talk to your doctor if your child takes any blood thinners (Coumadin/Warfarin, Plavix, Pradaxa, Aggrenox, etc.). Your child will be asked to remove jewelry and wear a hospital gown during the scan.
