In this short article I will try to explain in as simple terms as possible how to improve your pay per click campaign at Google and even though Google and Yahoo and MSN are not friends this will also apply with them (on top of this MSN also offers demographic targeting).
1. Keep daily budget as high as you can
The daily budget determines how often the ad is shown for the keywords. Set the budget high enough so that ads don't turn off during the day.
The Google PPC algorithm:
What really determines your ad visability at Google looks a little like this "[ MAX BID * KEYWORD CTR * (AD GROUP CTR or AD COPY AVERAGE CTRS or something to this effect) * POSSIBLE A CAMPAIGN WIDE CTR * POSSIBLY SOME CAMPAIGN OR ACCOUNT AGE FACTOR * (A LOCALIZATION FACTOR APPLIED DEPENDING ON WHERE THE SEARCH ORIGINATED)] = RANK SCORE"
Source: http://www.positionconcepts.com/
You can read more about Google new PPC algorithm here: http://blog.searchenginewatch.com/blog/061110-085425
2. Improve the ad's position
Trying to simplify Google AdWords algorithm this is the deal; The ad's position can be improved by increasing cost-per-click (CPC), refining the text or having a high click-through rate (CTR).
3. Refine keywords to target specific audience
a. Choose specific keywords for the product or service – General keywords generate the most impressions but often result in the fewest number of clicks. Eg. companies that sell football equipment, should not choose the keyword 'football', because the ads could appear to people searching for subjects unrelated to the product, such as football matches. Instead, choose more specific keywords like; 'football gear', 'football boots' and 'football clothing'.
b. Use keyword variations – People use different spellings of keywords so include spelling variations, plurals and common misspellings in your list of keyword.
c. Change keyword matching options to widen/narrow focus – Specify which type of keyword matching option you want to make the ads appear.
The options are:
Broad Match: just enter the keywords, such as 'football boots' (Google uses Tennis balls in their sample, or was it tennis shoes?)
The ad will appear whenever users search for 'football' and 'boots', in any order, and even if the query includes other terms, such as 'football clothing and boots'.
For Google, broad matching also utilises expanded matching in which it analyses the keyword list, ad text and daily Google search queries, then shows the ads for other relevant terms and variations (such as 'football shoes') even if these were not included in the original keyword list. (Expanded matches can be stopped by adding them as negative keywords or by changing broad match keywords to exact or phrase matches.)
Phrase Match: include quotation marks around the keywords, eg. "football boots"
The ad shows when users search for 'football boots', in this order. The ad would appear for 'Reebok football boots' but not for 'boots for football.'
Exact match: include brackets around the keywords, eg. [football boots]
The ad appears when users search for 'football boots', in this order and without any other terms in the query. The ad wouldn't show for 'Reebok football boots' or 'football clothing and boots'.
Negative keywords: include a hyphen before the keywords, eg. '-blue'
If the keywords are 'football boots' and your negative keyword is '–blue', the ad will not show under the search 'blue football boots'
4. Target audiences geographically
Languages, countries or regions can all be targeted separately.
5. Improve ad text
• Make sure to include targeted keywords. Do some research, refine, research, refine and so on….
• Be very clear in your messages.
• Focus on what makes the product or service unique.
• End with a call-to-action.
6. The ad links
• Use links to send people to the relevant and useful landing page and don't be afraid to do some A/B testing. Use third party analytics to messure your conversion rate and ROI, I reccomend IndexTools.
• Monitor the conversions; track how many ad clicks convert to purchases, sign-ups, page views, leads etc…
The most important part is always to remember that a well managed PPC campaing is a full time jop and for it to work well you need to compine competitive analysins, indepth keyword resarch, refining and professional web analytics. I do not reccomend using Google to monitor Google and you can't monitor MSN and Yahoo with GA.

This article is part of the Golan The Insatiable series.
Oak Grove Gazette, Letters to the Editor
Dear Scrawny Fools,
Quake, impotent readers of the Oak Grove Gazette! For Golan the Insatiable, Godlord Terrible of Gkruool, Crusher of Wills, Raper of All, endows you with chilling acknowledgement!
I am addressing you now in regards to the incident that occurred over your recent holiday solemnization. Golan the Insatiable feels not your frail emotion of regret, but I am not such the Godlord as believes himself infallible. Do not the laws of averages command that my frighteningly near-total mental supremacy give way to err on very rare occasions? I have no fear of your scorn nor hunger for your worthless affection, puny mortals, so I trust it is apparent that this is not an apology, as some have dared demand of me, but rather a simple recognition of my role in the so-called "Mall Massacre." It is laughably quaint -- and, to be sure, offensively hyperbolic to those who have known the true heinous fruit of my wrath -- that your sheltered township should call what took place here a "massacre," but that is beside the point, I am aware.
Golan the Insatiable needs not explain himself to the likes of any of you, but let us journey back in time for context. After it had been recommended to me by some of my Facebook acolytes, this Fall I partook in the dreadful gauntlet you refer to as "speed dating" in several neighboring townships. As fat and pathetic as Oak Grove is, I will grant you some elevation in comparison to many of these other communities. I have already written a nasty letter to the newspaper of Elk River, whose wan citizens had the gall to form a posse to try and prevent me from even entering their village limits. Then they dare to slander Golan the Insatiable as a lowly criminal! For what?! So an inconsequential female of Poplar Bridge who desired copulation with me after speed dating turned up with both her arms ripped from the sockets, and I am immediately the only suspect?! Indeed there was an attraction between this female and I, but I later decided she was unworthy to receive my sex. Why not accuse her other speeding-dates suitors? And how do they even know it was murder? Maybe it was an honest mistake made by one of these other suitors, who just got carried away in the fury of fearsome passion and forgot how feeble and easily dismantled human anatomy is? As if speed dating were not demeaning enough, Golan the Insatiable was no longer welcome at any of the events after that scandal.
I do not believe any of you truly understand how frustrating it is to have the power to raze a village, mortally rape all of its men, devour its females, and pike its young, but to then restrain yourself even in the face of insolence. As you know, all I have ever demanded of you froth is your undying worship, and to rule and crush you as I see fit, with the tacit understanding that I will not crush you if your continued worship pleases me. It is a daily grapple for Golan the Insatiable to bend to your boring culture and inane political structure, to the stupid explanations that "that isn't how Earth works," but I have done so, teeth clenched near rupture with slowly eroding patience.
My point being, December had found me in dark formidable spirits. I was coming dangerously close to unleashing a blood-soaked tempest upon this county the likes of which have not been seen since my genocide on the Kyikkli people of the Fire Forest - a gory rampage deserving of the word "massacre"! But my acolyte Dylan and the rest of my votaries persuaded me to instead lift my humor with a night of revelry at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. in the Oxborough Mall. It was two-for-ones that evening, and I have been told I drained several of their taps and cleaned them out of much of their liquor stock - I am Golan the Insatiable, you will remember! Yes, after being asked to vacate Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. I defecated in the Build-A-Bear shop, but that is immaterial. In any case, I was well full of spirits when I encountered the Xmas display in the Mall's food court.
In these contentious political times it is more important than ever to work together in a bipartisan way with the people who said I should be thrown out of a helicopter for being an Antifa terrorist.
This Halloween, log off and visit your friends at the local Halloween Superstore.

The town of Cornelius was originally founded in 1893. Originally called Liverpool, the town was renamed in the honor of one of the local cotton mill's principal investors, Joseph Benjamin Cornelius. Cornelius wasn't always a lakefront community. Duke Power, in order to provide electricity for the surrounding area, dammed the nearby Catawba River in 1963. A happy side effect of the creation of manmade Lake Norman was the nearly 70 miles of desirable lakefront property that it bestowed upon Cornelius.
Modern-day Cornelius functions as a highly desirable suburb of Charlotte, NC. Just how sought-after are homes in Cornelius? Well, the population more than doubled between 2000 and 2010, growing from 11,969 residents to 24,866 during that period. Today, Cornelius is now home to 28,092 residents, according to the latest census data. Locals cite the high quality of life, the charm of Cornelius neighborhoods, the abundance of local parks, the short commute to nearby Charlotte, and the recreational opportunities offered by Lake Norman as some of their favorite things about life in Cornelius.
There is an impressive selection of Cornelius real estate for those looking for a fine home in the Charlotte area. Luxurious, impressive lakefront estates are abundant in this market, with many architectural styles to choose from. Classy condominiums can often be had quite reasonably, as well as wonderful single-family starter homes for sale.
If lakefront living sounds like just the thing to make your life complete, look no further than Cornelius, North Carolina. Cornelius lake front properties abound! Take advantage of our powerful, yet simple real estate search tool to find homes that fit both your needs and your budget. If you have questions, we're just a phone call or email away.

Jay Bruce Golf Benefit raises funds to help intellectually, developmentally disabled
The Jay Bruce Golf Benefit, scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 16, and in its fourth year, has raised about $75,000 since its inception and is only getting bigger and better with two-time MLB All-Star, outfielder for the Cincinnati Reds, and West Brook High School alumnus Jay Bruce adding a concert at Winnie venue Nutty Jerry's in an effort to raise even more funds for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
"I've been wanting to have a concert as part of the benefit, and Nutty Jerry's offered their venue," Bruce said. "The golf tournament has been great … but adding the concert is just going to be another step to that growth. The better product you put out, the more people will be willing to donate, to sponsor and to underwrite. With the addition of the concert, I really hope to raise a lot more."
Proceeds from both the golf benefit and the concert go to The Arc of Greater Beaumont, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that helps enrich the lives of both children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and West Brook High School's Life Skills program, which provides a wide range of knowledge and skill interactions essential for special education students to prepare for adult independent living.
Although registration for the golf benefit is full, according to John Allen of Bayou Din Golf Club, 8537 Labelle Road in Beaumont, where the tournament is taking place, sponsorships are still available and can be purchased by calling (409) 796-1327, with Hole Sponsors at $150, Beverage Cart Sponsors at $300, Clubhouse Banner Sponsor at $500, and Title Sponsor (Banner & Beverage Cart) at $700. Event registration starts at 9 a.m., and tee off is scheduled for 10.
The benefit concert following the fourth annual Jay Bruce Golf Tournament will be at Nutty Jerry's, 18291 Englin Road in Winnie, with VIP tickets priced at $100 and general admission seating at $25. Doors open at 7 p.m. with performances by Blue Broussard scheduled for 7:30, Tracy Byrd for 8:15, and the Josh Abbott Band for 9:30. Jerry Nelson is providing the venue at no cost for the benefit, Bruce said.
"This is fantastic for the community," said Dan Baus, marketing director for Nutty Jerry's and long-time business associate of Nelson, "and I hope we can do it more."
Bruce said he became acquainted with The Arc of Greater Beaumont through the nonprofit's involvement with his sister, Kellan, who sustained complications during her birth that left her mentally disabled. Kellan, 31, has been actively involved with the Arc of Greater Beaumont for almost a decade now. She also takes part in the non-profit's annual Stars of the Arc Celebrity Style Show, where participants get a chance to model popular spring fashions and hog the spotlight for a night, said Gary Hidalgo, executive director of the Arc of Greater Beaumont. The show is one of the many events that funds from the Jay Bruce benefit make possible.
"It's made them feel really confident and a chance to be the center of attention for a change," Hidalgo said. "Being more out and open and coming out of their shells … that's been the biggest success, especially for most of the adults that we serve."
Hidalgo said The Arc serves around 300 children and adults like Kellan who are allowed social opportunities through the organization's various events and programs, which include style shows, talents shows, and trips to Bauer Ranch, a homestead in Winnie owned by Vickie and Tim Bauer where Arc members and their families get an opportunity to unwind, fish, feast on barbeque and participate in karaoke and other fun activities.
"It just hits a soft spot in (Jay's) heart," Hidalgo said. "Jay feels strongly about what we do. He knows … we're making a lot of great strides. We've made a lot of progress, and I think he wanted to be a part of that."
"They have so many outlets for the kids there and grown men and women too," Bruce added. "They have equestrian leagues, basketball leagues, fashion shows. They really do a great job of giving these men and women something to look forward to. I think that is something that is very, very special to their lives and to their families' lives, as well. It gives them a sense of accomplishment, which is important for every person, whether you're physically or mentally disabled or not."
Cindy Bloodsworth, former board president, vice president, legislative advocacy chair and current advisory board member for The Arc of Greater Beaumont and one of the parents responsible for bringing the non-profit to Southeast Texas, said her 31-year-old son, Matthew, who has Down syndrome, has benefited greatly from the BISD Life Skills program, another benefactor of Bruce's fundraiser.
"The Life Skills courses are really important," Bloodsworth said.
While writing, reading and arithmetic were necessary skills for her son to learn, Bloodsworth said the social and societal skills Matt acquired while enrolled in the program were equally important.
"Learning how to get along with people, how to ride the bus safely, knowing personal safety skills, being able to practice what it means to be able to buy your own groceries, to know what your budget is supposed to be like or just learning how to wait in line — those kinds of things help you get along out in society. Those social skills are sometimes even more important than your academic skills."
"Our main goal is to get these kids as independent as possible," said Tiffany Woodall, Life Skills teacher at West Brook High School. "It's stuff that you and I would take for granted, but it's important for them."
"If they grow up and they're able to take care of themselves, that's an accomplishment that otherwise may not have been possible if it wasn't for the Life Skills program," Bruce said. "Really giving these people all the opportunities, the tools and the things that they need to get the most of that program – I think that's important and that's the reason that I do it."
Woodall said Life Skills students learn how to cook, do laundry and perform other tasks vital to independent living, but also acquire social skills through interaction with general education students, citing the program's Cookie Crew as an example.
"We sell cookies every Thursday," Woodall said. "General Ed peers will go out with one or two of our kids and go to different classrooms and sell cookies."
The money raised from cookie sales goes toward purchasing T-shirts and items for community-based instruction and holiday activities for the Life Skills students, Woodall said.
The thousands of dollars the Jay Bruce Golf Benefit has raised for West Brook's Life Skills program has allowed the district to purchase iPads, touch screen monitors, and appliances to practice cooking and doing laundry, skills that Bloodsworth said have truly helped her son gain independence.
"The seeds that were planted while (Matt) was in Life Skills class have come to reap great rewards for him, and today he's very proud and capable of the things he's able to do without his mom and dad taking care of him all the time," Bloodsworth said.
After Matt graduated in 2001, he was equipped with Life Skills for independence but no longer was able to interact with his peers on a daily basis and was faced with another problem — loneliness.
"That's when we decided to start The Arc," Bloodsworth said. "We were a group of parents who were frustrated and hurt by the difficulties our kids were having to experience once they were out of the public school system. The Arc has really grown to be an important element of Matthew's life."
Matt, who since he was a young boy has watched Bruce play baseball, from Little League in Beaumont to All-Star MLB ball in Cincinnati, now has gainful employment as a lawn worker at the Ben Rogers Employment Training Facility, lives in a group home and even has a steady girlfriend, his mother said.
"It really means a lot to Matthew, particularly, and me, from my perspective as a parent, that Jay, someone who has done well for himself and gone out into the much bigger world, hasn't forgotten about people like Matthew," Bloodsworth said. "We're so pleased that Jay is still doing something to contribute to our community. Whether our children who have disabilities are in high school or whether they are like Matt, who no longer is able to take advantage of the public school system, it takes a village, and we're glad to have Jay be a member of our village."
Country for a cause
Jay Bruce benefit concert offers great music for an even greater cause
Jay Bruce is not the only Beaumont boy who has risen to stardom and is a familiar face at fundraisers across Southeast Texas. Tracy Byrd's annual Big Bass Tournament has raised funds for The Children's Miracle Network, among other organizations, and has been a staple in the community for more than a decade. Byrd will be performing at Bruce's benefit for The Arc of Greater Beaumont and West Brook High School's Life Skills program Nov. 16 at Nutty Jerry's in Winnie. Byrd is well known to legions of country music fans, serving up playful hits like "Watermelon Crawl" and "The Truth About Men" as well as poignant ballads such as his signature song "Keeper of the Stars," which netted the Academy of Country Music's Song of the Year accolade in 1996. Byrd approaches everything in life with a fiery intensity and commitment to excellence. Perhaps nowhere is that more evident than on stage.
"The pay off always was and always will be that couple hours on stage every night," said Byrd, who has been in the country music business for more than 20 years. "I still love making live music and working with my band. I still love working up a show and rehearsing. I enjoy that whole aspect of life because that's where I came from. Some acts that are hit acts today lived in Nashville and were demo singers. I'd never been in a studio until I cut a record and got a record deal. I was a live performer. That's what I am and where I came from and what I still love to do."
Following Byrd is a performance by the Josh Abbott Band, who's 2011 breakout success of "Oh, Tonight," which climbed to No. 44 on Billboard's country chart, and the title track from 2010's regional smash "She's Like Texas" created a stir that reached all the way to music executives in Nashville and New York City.
While gaining a substantial local following and national recognition, Abbot knew he had a big act to follow with the second record – he did just that and more. Released in 2012, Small Town Family Dream is also an ode to the music of Texas with Abbot's hero Pat Green sitting in on the track "My Texas."
The results speak for themselves. "Josh Abbott has ascended to that A-list level of the Texas country scene faster than anyone I've ever seen coming from an upstart position," said Chris Mosser, the morning host of Austin's 98.1 KVET-FM who also programs the station's popular Texas country "Roadhouse" program. "And it seems to me that for a lot of the younger Texas country fans, he's definitely the gravitational center of the current scene. His impact with the kids is remarkable."
Opening for the Jay Bruce benefit will be Blue Brossard, one of the most talented singer-songwriters on the thriving Beaumont music scene. Brossard combines all his influences in his sound — "southern rock, country, Americana or whatever you want to label us, we're OK with any of those," he says. Brossard's latest Nashville recorded single "Chevy, Dodge and Ford" was just released and is available on www.bluebrossard.com.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (September 5, 2010)—J P's Gusto, who won both the Willard Proctor Memorial and the Hollywood Juvenile Championship during the spring-summer meet at Hollywood Park, will try to join an exclusive list on Wednesday.
If the 2-year-old son of Successful Appeal wins the $250,000 Del Mar Futurity, the main event on closing day, he will become only the sixth horse to win both the Hollywood Juvenile Championship and the Futurity.
The last youngster to accomplish the feat was Saratoga Six, who won both races in 1984. This came one year after the filly Althea, who, like Saratoga Six, was trained by Wayne Lukas, completed the Juvenile-Futurity parlay.
The other four who have both races are Tomy Lee (1958), Old Pueblo (1957), Blue Ruler (1954) and Star Fiddle (1948).
Owned by Gem, Inc. and trained by David Hofmans, J P's Gusto has won three of four starts and earned $187,360. After his two Hollywood Park victories, the $52,000 yearling purchase won the Best Pal, a Grade II, on Aug. 8 at Del Mar. He led throughout while winning by a half-length.
Patrick Valenzuela, who gained the mount on J P's Gusto in the Best Pal after Joe Talamo was injured, has the mount Wednesday. Valenzuela is seeking his second Futurity win, having won aboard Best Pal, who was inducuted into racing's Hall of Fame last month, in 1990.
Ten others are scheduled to start in the Grade 1 at seven furlongs, including Western Mood, the runner-up in the Hollywood Juvenile.
From the inside out, the complete cast for the 63rd Del Mar Futurity: Jaycito, Martin Garcia rides, 116 pounds; Riveting Reason, Alex Solis, 116; McKenzies Way, David Flores, 118; J P's Gusto, Patrick Valenzuela, 122; Just Imagine, Martin Pedroza, 116; Major Art, Mike Smith, 120; Western Mood, Joel Rosario, 118; Indian Winter, Rafael Bejarano, 116; Comma to the Top, Corey Nakatani, 116; Road Ready, Victor Espinoza, 120 and Gahnzo Bob, Alonso Quinonez, 116.

thuhn necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 62 diseños de 13 diseñadores freelance.
We're a bootstrapped startup trying to connect real life (going out, meeting people, partying) with friends on the web to create a new experience of knowing where your friends are partying and seeing upfront if you find the other people in that location interesting.
Our focus is on a young audience going out to clubs, discotheques and bars, trying to see beforehand who's there and what friends you will meet in that place. There's also a dating aspect by being able to follow women or men you like.
We are looking for a clean, fresh and light (no dark backgrounds please) design that is easy to understand for the user.
This means, that we would like to see your ideas on how to place the screen elements in the best way to achieve the best possible usability.
Even if the basic technological ideas are similar to some kind of a "Twitter for going out" and even if we want to benefit from a zero learning curve for regular Twitter users using our site, we would appreciate to NOT look like a copy of Twitter.
We've built a mockup that demonstrates the home page screen and the most important screens inside the app:
Please don't use this as your basic layout for the screen elements - be creative about placing functions and features in different ways!
We would like to see designs for the homepage and the "FriendStream" page. The other inner pages are optional, but at least can give you an impression of some of the other functionality.
We have no logo yet, so please just go ahead with a placeholder for "FriendParty".
The files we will requie are layered .psd (RGB) and .png.

|Should Health Care Workers Tell Their HIV Status?
Dec 12, 1997
Are health care workers allowed to keep their Hiv/Aids status (if positive) disclosed from their patients? Any comments on personal choice?
Response from Ms. Breuer
Depending on the state, Health care workers have the same right of confidentiality about their HIV status as anyone living with HIV. Moreover, because all health workers take universal precautions (manadated procedures that are designed to prevent the transmission of any infectious agent from a health worker to a patient or a patient to a health worker) in healthcare, there is no need for either the health worker or the patient to reveal HIV status. Universal Precuations both prevent the transmission of the virus and enable people living with any blood-borne disease to maintain their privacy.

By Kris Voakes | Italian Football Writer
The vast majority of football enthusiasts had Barcelona down for a positive result of some kind before Wednesday night's trip to San Siro, but what developed over the following 90 minutes was a reminder of something so very Italian. AC Milan's 2-0 win in the Champions League last-16 first leg showed why there will always be a great reason not to disregard the qualities of the game in the bel paese.
There is no getting away from the fact that calcio is not what it once was. There are no Van Bastens, Zidanes, Baresis or Matthauses around these days. The stands across the country are not bursting with people waiting to see the game's greatest players in action. There are many across the world who didn't even bother to turn over from a corny current affairs show or a dull awards ceremony to watch the captivating fixture at San Siro on Wednesday such was their disdain for Milan's hopes of causing a stir.
But those who ignore Italian football, put it down, or even outwardly oppose it, are simply railing against one of the finer arts of football. Because even today, when it is considered to be playing catch-up on the rest, Italian football is the king of tactical ingenuity.
While Barcelona certainly had the edge in technique on Wednesday, there was just no breaking Milan down. And it wasn't as though they were battered and bruised by the end either. Their effective pressing in the right areas, blanket smothering of Lionel Messi, effective counter-attacking and fantastic organisation in all phases of play meant they actually won with a little bit to spare.

The cliches would tell you that "against Barcelona, you have to take all of the chances that come your way", but the Rossoneri gained their win whilst also passing up opportunities in the first half, most notably when Stephan El Shaarawy took a heavy touch as he bore down on Victor Valdes. Instead, it was an effective use of coach Massimiliano Allegri's tactical set-up that won the day.
After Fiorentina's demolition of Inter at the weekend, this writer made the point that the Nerazzurri had failed where others had followed in suppressing the Viola, citing Italian football's knack of quickly finding an answer to a team's strength and setting up to counter it as a reason why Inter should have known how to make the most of the recent struggles of Vincenzo Montella's side.
And that tactical know-how isn't just seen in Serie A and the Champions League. If ever you get the chance to go down to an Italian club's youth complex, as this writer attempts to regularly and did so as recently as Tuesday at Milan's Vismara site, you will see this is very much ingrained from early on in a player's career.
Kids as young as eight or nine can be seen taking part in training games holding their position, staying in shape, admonishing themselves for not getting the weight of a pass exactly right, or even slightly misreading an opponent's run. The sense that a game is won in the carrying out of certain methods, instructions and ideologies is something that comes long before first-team level.
Montolivo & Muntari | Part of a hugely effective team display against Barcelona
When football 'fans' dismissively speak about "boring, defensive Italians" they simply show an ignorance for the ability and intelligence that goes into playing to such an exact gameplan. The famed fantasisti and trequartisti of Italian football have been unconditionally loved over the years, but so have the greatest defenders. For every Ruud Gullit, Diego Maradona and Alessandro Del Piero there is a Paolo Maldini, Antonio Cabrini and Giacinto Facchetti. Italian supporters have always appreciated that the flair players cannot win trophies by themselves.
Wednesday night was also a great example of how a team with no real stars, lacking some key players, and up against the football world's biggest collection of technical geniuses, can still win by carrying out their tactical roles as a collective.
And in a way similar to last week, when much of the British reaction was about 'penalties' not given, and an energetic display by Celtic being proof that the Scots had outplayed Juventus, any over-emphasis on Barca's no-show would be to ignore what won the game for Milan.
Juve have now been to both Shakhtar and Celtic and won with superbly-drilled 90-minute performances, and the Rossoneri head to Camp Nou with a 2-0 lead thanks to a display right out of the same coaching manual. Two of the last-16's five winners come from Italy, and they have succeeded by doing what Italians do best.
When Barcelona turn up at practically every away ground in La Liga and stick three or four on the opposition, it soon gets boring. Results like Wednesday's make football exciting. Performances like Milan's make football worth watching.
In a modern world in which we are always told that biggest, brightest and fastest is best, it pays to remember where we come from. And Italian football is the perfect reminder that in a team sport, great team performances will always have a place at the top of the game.

- Cinnamomum Burmannii
- Kosher
Cinnamon sticks are flavorful and fun in mulled drinks and teas. (Serve each cup with its own cinnamon swirler.) Or combine them with allspice, cloves and ginger to make your own mulling spice.
Cinnamon - that most popular of spices - comes from the bark of an evergreen tree. Cinnamon's sweet, spicy and warm fragrance adds pungent sweetness to your favorite baked goodies. You can also use it to add a depth of flavor to savory dishes as well.
Though often used interchangeably, cassia and cinnamon are not the same. Cinnamomum cassia (grown primarily in China and Indonesia) is reddish-brown and pungently sweet, while Cinnamomum zeylanicum (from Sri Lanka and India) is buff-colored and mild. Cassia is usually preferred for its more intense color and flavor.

Cinnamon is the world's most popular baking spice. You'll recognize its familiar taste and aroma in cakes, breads, cookies, breads and pies, dumplings, puddings, pastries and ice cream. It's common in savory dishes, too--soups, chutneys, catsup, pickles, squash, vinegars and meat glazes--and hot drinks like cider, coffee, tea and cocoa.
Cinnamon complements fruits like apricots, cherries, apples, blueberries and oranges. Vegetables, too--especially carrots, spinach and onions--are enhanced by cinnamon's pungent sweetness.
In combination with other spices (like cloves, nutmeg, cardamom, ginger, allspice, and black pepper), cinnamon shows up in a wide array of spice blends, including pumpkin pie spice, apple pie spice, cider blends, five spice powder, curries, pickling spice, even popcorn seasoning!

HTC has pulled the covers off its latest flagship handset and we were at the London launch to witness Peter Chou, its CEO, introduce the HTC One to the world.
Maybe we're being extravagant running a separate gallery just for the black version but hey, it's our birthday today, and so far most of our coverage of the HTC One has featured the silver version.
So here we are. This is the black version of the HTC One, with it's glorious 4.7-inch 1920 x 1080 pixel IPS display, UltraPixel camera and enough power on board to keep Android running very smoothly indeed.
That's Android 4.1.2 for those keeping score, but it's sitting under HTC Sense 5. Sense 5 looks cleaner and lighter than previous versions, and is now fronted by Blink Feed, a new dynamic content aggregator that will serve up content for your delectation. A buffet of delights on which to sate your content needs.
READ: What's new in HTC Sense 5?
Around the back is the 4-megapixel camera, with HTC taking a gamble and stepping out of the megapixel race to focus on quality. You might get smaller final images, but the quality, claims HTC, will be much higher.
The camera also offers a host of exciting features, such as Zoe Camera, which brings stills to life and produces cool video summaries in a heartbeat.
Otherwise, this is a solid handset. The unibody full-metal construction oozes quality, with HTC claiming to have overcome the "death grip" problems associated with metal bodies in the past.
The HTC One will be launching on all the UK carriers and be available from the end of March. We have completed a full review of the HTC One, which is well worth a read.

The Label
North America
The Flower Kings
A Kingdom Of Colours (1995 - 2002)
Ltd. 10CD Box Set
A legendary band in their own right, The Flower Kings have been at the forefront of progressive rock since their formation in 1994 by guitarist, vocalist, composer, astronaut, chef and veteran nut head icon Roine Stolt. Dedicating themselves to producing a strain of prog they like to call symphonic rock', they incorporated classical music, movie soundtracks and both jazz, ethno, blues and seventies metal elements to much success - and building themselves a dedicated fanbase in the process over ten studio albums before taking a break.
After a triumphant return to action in 2012 - following an almost 5 year hiatus, The Flower Kings released "Banks Of Eden" in the summer of that year to a brilliant reaction from fans and critics alike. In celebration they toured the world for the better part of a year, visiting locations including Europe, Japan, Russia, Israel & USA. The following year the band hit the road once again, this time with old friends Neal Morse & Mike Portnoy to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of label InsideOut Music, where they played a hugely successful prog extravaganza to packed venues across Europe and the US.
Never ones to rest on their laurels however, The Flower Kings immediately entered Fenix Studio in Sweden to start work on the recording of a brand new album. Recorded "live" in this classic, but modern, studio and on reel to reel tape, the album features a glut of grand vintage keyboards such as Hammond B3, Mellotron M 400, Fender Rhodes, Minimoog and a whole host of Tube amps.
The band even decided to try a new approach to writing and recording, assembling music on the spot and arranging it as a team.
The result of this wonderfully collaborative effort is an epic 10 song cycle entitled 'Desolation Rose'; an album that revolves around some of the more disturbing observations of mankind's failure to create the paradise they once hoped for – and the greed, fear and ignorance that caused that failure. The scenario is an observation by an angel who resides in a mysterious tower, looking down on all this ongoing perpetual insanity, yet unable to reach out and help.
The band is very much back to their cinematic and melodic symphonic rock best, but with a heavier edge no doubt honed while on tour for the past year. The 10 songs contained within are to be heard as a sequence and the lyric thread is wonderfully cinematic, but again it is more of an observation that works both as a whole or as separate parts. It might be considered one of their most focused efforts to date, such is the impact the tracks have on the listener from the very beginning. From the opening 14-minute tour-de-force that is 'Tower', right through the moody swagger of 'White Tuxedo' and beyond, this album sees the band crafting what might be their most varied album yet.
The Flower Kings are truly back where they belong, at the beating heart of the modern day progressive rock scene, and 'Desolation Rose' is testament to their continued vibrancy, sonic potency and determination to keep the music driving forward.

Value Line is regarded as the best independent research available. More than just recommendations, Value Line provides the rationale behind its picks for greater understanding.
Yesterday, Google (GOOG) announced the aptly named "Google Wallet", a new application for its dominant mobile operating system Android that will permit faster shopping and new ways to deliver discounts to consumers when it is rolled out this summer. The software's functionality will eventually go well beyond enabling quicker lines at Starbucks (SBUX), as Google plans to include features like digital receipts, e-coupons, loyalty rewards, store-activated promotions, event and transit ticketing, gift-card balances, and targeted local ads, some of which will be run through "Google Offers" an upcoming deal-of-the-day website the company announced in January.
Google has obvious monetary incentives for facilitating transactions that may not have otherwise occurred. Apart from the potential revenue streams generated by its various mobile discount platforms, it hopes retailers and advertisers will be attracted to the virtual treasure trove of consumer data the app can collect and the strengthened customer relationships that information can fuel.
The company's current chairman and former CEO, Eric Schmidt, has expressed confidence that Google will be a hub of new-age retailing. During the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Schmidt presented a rather bold vision for Google-enabled smartphone transactions and the short-range wireless data protocol that makes it all possible, Near Field Communications, calling it a "mega opportunity" and suggesting the following scenario:
"I'm walking down the street and I need pants. My phone has an NFC chip. It knows where I am. It tells me about two stores, one to the left with a 20% discount and one to the right with a 30% discount… It is programmed to know I am cost conscious so it points me to the right and the store knows what pants I want."
Google's vice president of commerce, Stephanie Tilenius also seems convinced the company's product will take off, stating rather matter-of-factly "Your phone will be your wallet...just tap, pay, save." If this is, in fact, true, a host of companies stand to benefit considering Google Wallet is an open platform and management has welcomed all comers to join its efforts including banks, payment processors, telecom carriers, handset and IC designers and manufacturers, and Mobile OS developers.
This list includes members of Isis, a strategic alliance that was founded last fall by AT&T (T - Free AT&T Stock Report), Verizon Wireless (VZ - Free Verizon Stock Report), T-Mobile's parent company Deutsche Telekom (DTEGY), and Discover (DFS) in a different attempt to extract cash from consumers' retail transactions. The group recently adjusted its strategy after changes in the banking laws (Dodd-Frank financial reform) made payment processing less profitable by restricting fees that retailers have to pay banks and payment networks. Discover has now been put on the back burner because the telecom carriers need Visa's (V) and MasterCard's (MA) economies of scale. Notably, MasterCard has teamed up with Citigroup (C) to support the transactional functionality of Google Wallet.
The telecoms still hold tremendous sway over the smartphone industry and will need to be paid some sort of fee for allowing these transactions to take place on the phones they so heavily subsidize and provide voice and data service for. Therefore, it seems possible that Isis will simply join forces with Google, or team up with Visa and another mobile OS developer to make a smartphone app of its own.
The obvious candidate for such a task would be Apple (AAPL). That company has yet to voice its plans regarding the inclusion of an NFC chipset in the upcoming iPhone or an "iwallet" application in the next version of its iOS, but we think Apple will address the issue at its Worldwide Developers Conference, which starts on June 6, 2011. Although Apple has been known more as a second mover, this technology may be one it can't afford to wait on. Despite the fact that iPhone owners have proven extremely loyal (approximate 90% renewal rate), more people may become motivated to switch to an Android handset due to the appeal of Google Wallet's functionality.There's lots of evidence that Apple will eventually include NFC functionality in its handsets. The company has applied for numerous NFC-related patents and hired an NFC expert, Benjamin Vigier, as its new mobile commerce product manager. Also, it certainly doesn't want to be perceived as less innovative than the competition. Finally, with payment processors and banks starting to come on board, it would be difficult to argue that the payment platform is not commercially viable yet.
Apple's decision to include NFC or not should affect the stock price of NXP Semiconductor. That company boasts "Intel like" share (i.e. ~75%) of the NFC chipset market and is rumored to have supplied silicon to Apple for NFC prototype phones. The company has only been public for 10 months, and its stock price has nearly doubled since December 6, 2010, the day Google announced it was using NXP's software stack to make NFC chipsets compatible with Android. It is also supplying Google with a new chipset for Sprint's (S) upcoming Nexus S 4G phone, the only handset currently known to be including the IC. The silicon (NXP PN65 NFC mobile transaction solution) incorporates the NFC radio controller, the embedded "secure element" and NFC software in a single device.
Although NXP Semiconductor's NFC revenues of $10 million were flat sequentially during the first quarter, it expects to make progress in the second half of 2011, if not sooner. It said ZTE (China's No. 2 telecom equipment maker) recently announced plans to include NXP-based NFC solutions across its entire Android-based portfolio of handsets. Too, the company cited design win momentum at a number of other major OEMs and added some color by saying "every time we talk to our friends at Google they tell us to double the numbers for the Android expectations." NXP admits device delays could prove Google's outlook aggressive, so they are keeping estimates relatively low at 70 million chipset shipments in 2011. We think this may prove conservative and are more inclined to believe iSuppli's recently elevated predictions of 93.2 million chips sold worldwide in 2011 (16% higher than its December forecast), and 411.8 million in 2014 (nearly twice as many as its prior call). At $1-$3 per chipset, this implies meaningful improvement over the current run rate.
Stand-alone NFC chipsets take up significantly more motherboard space, and cost up to five times as much as integrating NFC technology onto a single system on a chip. This is why we think the more basic transmit and receive functionality will eventually be integrated into Broadcom (BRCM), Texas Instruments (TXN), Intel (INTC – Free Intel Stock Report), or Qualcomm (QCOM) connectivity chipsets much like other wireless protocols (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) now being designed into existing and planned solutions.
This would explain rumors that one of these companies may buyout NXP. That concern's CEO said he was not interested in selling the company unless given a deal similar to the one Texas Instruments recently offered National Semiconductor (NSM), which implies an 80% premium to NXPI's current share price. The more pressing debate may be whether NXP can hold on to its share of the software and security elements of the chipset. These parts of the IC are more technologically sophisticated than the radio controller. Notably, NXP's secure element self destructs if someone tries to hack a transaction, which arguably makes the system safer than conventional swiping, and may lead to reduced insurance premiums for retailers.
NXP Semiconductor's stock price will likely take a hit if Apple decides to go with competitors like Sony (SNE) or STMicroelectronics (STM), but we believe it will be able to maintain decent market share on design win momentum from mobile handsets running Android. At Google's I/O developer's conference in early May, a representative told presentation attendees, "we do know personally of dozens of phones in the pipeline for 2011 that are going to have NFC. So don't worry, they will come."
Nokia (NOK), meanwhile, has been a supporter of Near Field Communication technology for years, and Research in Motion (RIMM) has also voiced its intent to include it in upcoming handsets. Although Motorola Mobility (MMI) has not made public comments about NFC, it is a principal member of the NFC Forum, a non-profit industry association charged with promoting the technology and setting key standards. The forum was founded by NXP Semiconductor, Sony, and Nokia, and now has dozens of members across multiple industries.
One of those is VeriFone, which currently boasts around 65% of the 150,000 contactless readers (1% penetration rate) currently deployed in the U.S. (Federal Reserve). Google said it is partnering with the company to conduct field trials in New York and San Francisco. It's also working with competing new-age point-of-sale terminals from Hypercom, Ingenico, and VIVOtech. VeriFone's CEO indicated that currently deployed readers containing Visa's contactless payment platform PayWave and MasterCard's PayPass can be upgraded with NFC functionality and all new equipment will include NFC technology. It does not plan on giving away the units for free and thinks new entrants like telcos, banks, mobile OS developers, and payment processors should foot the bill so "they can have a say in how it works" and easily facilitate software maintenance.
No NFC discussion would be complete without including the all important retailers. Google mentioned a laundry list of companies that are participating in the new "single tap" experience including: Macy's (M), Foot Locker's (FL) Champs Sports, Walgreens (WAG), Radio Shack (RSH), Subway, and Duane Reade. Although the list is far from exhaustive, we point out that the majority of retail transactions take place at the top 200 retail outlets.
Google provided some examples of the type of deals it will offer consumers, such as a 20% discount on a new pair of boots discovered on a Google search ad, $5 off check-in offer received upon entering a store, and a "deal of the day" offering a $20 lunch for $10 at a local restaurant.
As much as Google likes to think it can tell people what they want in a smartphone, demand for the technology is still unproven. We think application developers will need to make useful and entertaining content-sharing smartphone apps to give mobile device designers additional incentive to include NFC chipsets in upcoming smartphones. As an example, Google's "Sticky Notes" app lets users leave each other notes by touching their phones together.
With all the crucial elements for mass adoption seemingly in place, we believe that NFC technology presents a favorable investment opportunity. We find NXP Semiconductor and VeriFone to be the most targeted, risky, and potentially rewarding ways to play the early stages of NFC adoption. Both have valuations reflecting unproven revenue streams. At the same time, current chipset and POS terminal forecasts may well prove overly cautious. Conservative investors may find less-risky Google and Apple shares to be the preferred method of gaining NFC exposure.
At the time of this article's writing, the author did not have positions in any of the companies mentioned.

Suicide rate up for middle-aged Oklahomans
231 suicides among age group in 1999
A government report says the rate of suicide among middle-aged Oklahomans rose 34.4 percent from 1999 to 2010.
The Centers for Disease Control reported Thursday that there were 231 suicides among the 35-64 age group in 1999, for a rate of 18.2 suicides per 100,000 population. The report says there were 345 suicides in that age group in 2010, for a rate of 24.4 per 100,000.
The CDC report is based on death certificates and says people ages 35 to 64 account for about 57 percent of suicides.
Nationwide the suicide rate among middle-aged Americans rose 28 percent during the decade, a period that included the recession and the mortgage crisis.

Supply Shortage of MINOX 8x11 Films
Supply of MINOX 8x11 films and repair service will be maintained
MINOX 8x11 camera owners will be able to continue photographing with their treasured collectors item even in the future. Due to the ongoing negative trends in analogue photography, the growing shortage of film materials as a whole is directly influencing the production of MINOX 8x11 films. Despite these current supply shortages, MINOX will do its best to maintain its range of 8x11mm subminiature films. Currently, various alternative film materials are being analyzed to ensure a long-term supply of high-quality film materials. Finding a replacement may take some time however.
The sub-miniature camera is for MINOX as a brand, synonymous with miniaturization and precision built into the smallest amount of space. It is for this reason that MINOX will do everything possible to keep this unique camera system on the market. This not only includes supplying 8x11 film material, but also the ability to continue developing the films. Repair service for this system is also ensured at MINOX as long as the appropriate spare parts for older models remain available.

Open state play In Chillicothe Wednesday
LUDLOW ♦ Having let a 6-1 third-inning lead slip away, the Meadville Lady Eagles caught a huge break to get into extra innings, and then scored twice in the top of the ninth Saturday to shade top-seeded Brunswick 10-8 in the championship game of the high school girls' softball Class 1 District 12 tournament and advance to the state tournament.
MHS got a 1-out triple to left field from Raysha Tate in the ninth at Ludlow Lions Field. She stayed put as a popup became the second out, but Sara Van Dyke's grounder up the middle was a tiebreaking single. Haley Fitzpatrick and Kasie Boyd followed with hits of their own, Boyd's plating Van Dyke with a big insurance run. Winning pitcher Tori Baker then set down Brunswick in order again to close it out. The senior righthander retired the last eight batters she faced to give the MHS offense a chance to re-fire.
Having tied the game 8-8 in the bottom of the sixth inning with two runs, Brunswick got a leadoff double in the bottom of the seventh. The next batter hit a sharp shot up the middle headed for center field, according to MHS head coach Darren Smith. However, instead of going for a likely-game-winning single, the batted ball hit the runner coming off second for interference and an outcome-altering first out.
Meadville (17-7) will be the host team for Wednesday's sectional-round state-tournament game against the Cairo (Northeast Randolph County R-4) Lady Bearcats (19-6), which will be played in Chillicothe at Daryl Danner Memorial Park, beginning at 6 p.m.
Meadville, in its last year in the conference, is the last Carroll-Livingston Activity Association team standing after Norborne, beaten only once previously all year, was shocked by DeKalb (15-13) 4-1 in the District 13 title game at Polo.

A regular beach happening...when it's dry
They're regulars.
Take Doug Brown, for example.
On Tuesday evenings he can be found at the Oakland Beach Commons, relaxed on a canvas chair in front of his metallic cherry 1954 Mercury Monterey.
You can't make Tuesday nights?
Well then, visit the Cowesett Inn on Thursday evening, Crestar in East Greenwich on Friday or Sunday afternoon at TGI Fridays. All host cruises, and Brown, like scores of other car owners and car aficionados, schedule their summers around the events.
Kevin Oliver played a major role in starting the Oakland Beach cruise nights as a benefit for the community and JONAH Inc., Join Our Neighborhood and Help. Over the years the nights have not only helped fund scholarships and community events but also brought in a steady stream of traffic that has benefited area businesses and showcased Oakland Beach in the summer.
This is the first year cruise nights have been run by the Warwick Lions Club. Many of the volunteers who worked the show are also members of the club, and the transition was a natural. Funds raised go to help Lions Club causes including helping children with cancer and contributing to the Rhode Island Sight Foundation.
So far, say Lions Club members, Tuesdays have not been kind to the event. More often than not it has rained on Tuesday and rain, even the threat of it, is enough for those who put so much effort in their cars to keep them in the garage.
But this Tuesday was a good Tuesday.
Brown waved to acquaintances as they drove across the common's grass to find a spot amidst the sparkling chrome, polished leather and shiny engines that hummed, or roared, as dusk approached.
"It's a sickness," confesses Roger Paul of Burrillville.
Paul owns several cars, but it was his 1955 black Mercury that was on display Tuesday. The car won last year's Tony Lombardi Jr. Best of Show Award, a trophy that he proudly held up.
Paul and his friend for nearly a lifetime, Ron Bouvier, are cruise regulars. The car bug likewise infects Bouvier of Cumberland.
"I have four or five others," he says of the cars he owns. All are American cars and all he has restored to one degree or another.
Bouvier restored cars professionally until retiring nine years ago. Now he is doing it for himself and his latest acquisition, which was on display, is a 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk. He found the car in Arizona and bought it two years ago.
As it came from an area with a dry climate, Bouvier said it really didn't require a lot of restoration. But he's making certain it's staying dry. Bouvier has 11 garages.
That's just a sample of the interesting information to be found cruising a cruise.

It's been a while since I've paid attention to this site. My weeks have been filled with things that don't land me in front of the computer (unless I'm processing photos). The good news is that I have a lot to share with you now. My idle time away from updating this site has not been filled with a deep abyss but rather a growing pile of photographs that never make it online. But I realize that this is 2012 and what you show on the web is readily attributed to who you are as a photographer so I'm rummaging through the archives and pulling out some work that I've really enjoyed over the last six months.
Where is the old work? If you have links to some of the posts on my old blog, they still work. I'm going to have to comb through them to make it work with this new look. When I do, they will pop up on this blog one at a time.

Shaheen co-sponsors bill to help 'highly-skilled' immigrants
January 29. 2013 4:15PM
WASHINGTON -- Sen. Jeanne Shaheen on Tuesday joined a bipartisan group of senators cosponsoring a bill to increse the number of visas and green cards available for "highly-skilled workers in science and technology."
The Immigration Innovation Act, also referred to as the I-Squared Act of 2013, has the backing of businesses and business advocacy groups, Shaheen's office said.
"New Hampshire is one of the country's greatest incubators for science and technology and I'm pleased to introduce the I-Squared Bill to ensure our state has the workforce to continue the innovation essential to New Hampshire's economy," Shaheen said.
The New Hampshire Democrat is an original cosponsor of a bipartisan effort led by Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah along with Sens. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Chris Coons, D-Del.
According to Shaheen, the legislation aims to increase the number of visas and green cards available for highly skilled workers in the science and technology fields and for foreign students graduating from American universities with science and technology degrees.
"The I-Squared Bill will also increase funding for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education throughout the United States by raising application fees for employment-based visas and green cards," according to a statement from Shaheen's office.
Shaheen's office said that as a long-time supporter of STEM education, she plans to re-introduce her Innovation Inspiration School Grant Program that will provide resources for states and schools to participate in non-traditional STEM education programs.
"Individuals with advanced degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics are critical to U.S. competitiveness and should be given priority for permanent resident status," wrote leadership from Texas Instruments in a letter of support.
Texas Instruments employs nearly 150 New Hampshire residents at its Manchester facility.
"We are pleased to support the Immigration Innovation Act of 2013, which recognizes the importance of highly educated foreign professionals to U.S. competitiveness while also investing in U.S. education and training," Texas Instruments wrote.

Schalke have rejected a fresh bid from Tottenham for midfielder Lewis Holtby, the German club's general manager Horst Heldt has revealed.
The north London club already have an agreement in place to take the 22-year-old to White Hart Lane upon the expiry of his contract in the summer, but have moved to purchase Holtby in January after Sandro suffered a season-ending knee injury.
However, Spurs will have to up their offer if they are to succeed in their pursuit of the young midfielder according to Heldt.
"Spurs have increased their offer for Holtby, but only slightly. But it is still not acceptable. We have to wait," he told reporters.
"There's nothing new to add on Holtby or Michel Bastos. We haven't opened talks with Lyon yet.
"Tottenham have only marginally improved their offer for Holtby, but it remains unacceptable for us. We will have to wait to see what happens.
"Feasibility is what it's all about, not wishes."
Schalke coach Jens Keller had stated he would like to keep the young star until the end of the season, but suggested a transfer fee could be beneficial to the club considering Holtby is definitely leaving at the end of the season.
"Lewis put in a great performance against Hannover. It would be good if he stayed here. But we have to take the financial side into account as well," he told reporters.
Holtby's move to White Hart Lane will see him leave Germany for the first time after spells with Alemannia Aachen, Bochum and Mainz before moving to Schalke in 2009.
The Germany Under-21 captain has played 78 times for the Bundesliga side, and scored 13 goals in the process.

PEORIA — The Tri-County Regional Planning Commission and the consultant who helped relaunch economic development in the region are finally square.
After months of sometimes contentious discussions, the commission voted without dissent Thursday night to settle the check with Frank Knott's ViTAL Economy firm, paying roughly 85 cents on the dollar for Knott's last invoice on a six-figure contract.
Of the $54,370.77 that Knott was seeking, Tri-County will pay out $46,500, with $20,000 of that coming up front and the remainder in eight monthly installments.
"I think it's probably a relief to both parties. ... We're working hard to be able to get our focus back where it needs to be," commission chairman Larry Whitaker said after the vote.
This was one of a number of issues that had dogged the commission in the last six months as commission members worked to get out of the economic development business and return to the core planning work that has long been the group's focus.
Along the way, they've discovered financial difficulties that, members heard Thursday night, are evening out.
Knott's firm had contracts totaling more than $500,000 for work done through the commission over the last several years, mostly for the purpose of crafting a successor group — Focus Forward Central Illinois — to some of the economic development efforts housed under what was then the Heartland Partnership. That work was paid for through a mixture of local funds, grants and private money.
FFCI retains a separate contract with Knott as its own organization.
Commission members also heard Thursday that:
►Staff are applying for a federal TIGER planning grant that could bring in up to $3 million for work to forge ahead on planning work for the long-running Eastern Bypass project that, once finished, would effectively complete the Interstate 474/Illinois Route 6 ring road.
►Multiple properties are being eyed as possible alternative locations for the commission to move to from its digs at One Technology Plaza that are owned by Peoria County. The monthly rent is just more than $6,000, though a recent concern has become how much the commission spends on paid, deck parking, particularly for attendees at meetings.

When connecting my OpenDCC Z1 to my new laptop (with fresh installed Kubuntu 12.10) I had to get my udev config to fixed:

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A 5-year-old boy injured in a crash following a high-speed chase had been reported missing in November by his mother, Iowa authorities said.
The driver of the car, Jeremiah Johnson, 33, led officers on a chase early Friday morning that exceeded speeds of 110 mph, police said. Johnson, who authorities say had been involved in a lengthy custody battled over the boy, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The boy was found crying behind the driver's seat under a pile of clothes and was taken to a hospital with serious injuries, the newspaper reported. Police have not released the boy's name.
The chase began in Clive when an officer tried to pull over Johnson's car and it sped away. The Iowa State Patrol eventually took over and followed the car into Indianola, where the car slammed into a parked, unoccupied police cruiser at an estimated 130 mph, The Des Moines Register (http://dmreg.co/ZiuLSQ) reported.
Officers were unaware there was a child in the car during the chase, authorities said.
"If they would have found out a child was in there, they probably would have called (the chase) off," Iowa State Patrol spokesman Sgt. Scott Bright said. "Those pursuits become very dangerous."
Authorities said the boy's mother, who had been awarded custody in July, reported the 5-year-old missing and endangered to Des Moines police in November.
Last month, police in Buford, Ga., stopped Johnson on suspicion of running a red light. Police soon learned Johnson and the boy, who was in the car, had been reported missing.
Police say Johnson sped away when an officer asked him to step out of the car. At the time, police did not engage in a high-speed chase because the boy was in the car, but a warrant was issued for Johnson's arrest.

The likelihood of birth defects in multiples has risen over the past 24 years in Europe—and the cause could be in vitro fertilization.
Researchers at the University of Ulster in Northern Ireland found that, in 14 European countries, the rate of birth defects in multiples nearly doubled from 6 in 10,000 births in 1984 to 11 in 10,000 births in 2007.
The study concluded that multiple babies have a near one-third higher risk of birth defects than single babies. The birth defects that occurred more often were non-chromosomal ones like physical deformities.
Helen Dolk, the senior author of the study, said that the rise in defects could be due to multiple embryo transfers in IVF: "Most babies are born healthy from multiple births or (IVF), but there are a number of reasons why single embryo transfers is a better option than multiple embryo transfer," she said.

NHL notes: Flyers' Pronger not close to comeback
Philadelphia Flyers defenceman Chris Pronger, still struggling with the effects of post-concussion syndrome, has shown improvement recently but his career remains in jeopardy.
"He's doing better, but not to the point where he can think about playing," Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren told the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Holmgren said Pronger saw a doctor in Pittsburgh recently and there was improvement. But "it's too soon (for Pronger) to consider" skating again.
Pronger missed most of last season after being concussed and there is fear the 38-year-old might never play again. Because he is injured, he will be paid his $7.2 million salary during the lockout along with banged-up teammates Andrej Meszaros, Matt Walker and Andreas Lilja.
If the NHL lockout drags on as many are expecting, Kimmo Timonen's playing days could be over.
The Philadelphia Flyers defenceman is 37 years old and nearing the end of his career anyway and is going into the final year of a heavily front-loaded contract that will pay him just $3 million. A long lockout could suck the life out of him, he says, and cause him to pack it in.
"I feel like I am in great shape, but to be honest if this thing drags on another two or three months who knows, I might lose my motivation and we will see what happens after," Timonen told the Philadelphia Inquirer. Hopefully they can get together and get the deal done."
That said, Timonen isn't breaking the party line yet,
"It's not just for us but for the future," he said. "Seven years ago we missed a year and we pretty much lost that time. "I feel we are more educated this time and know what is going on."
Locked-out NHLers will play in a "caravan" league starting next week, according to RDS.
The tour around Quebec, which will feature mostly Francophone NHLers, will raise money for charities, not the players. It is expected the players will play once a week.
The first game will be played in Chateauguay and include the likes of Marc-Andre Fleury, Kris Letang, David Desharnais, David Perron and Maxime Talbot. Others are also expected on hand.
The "caravan" league was a creation of Joel Bouchard during the last NHL work stoppage. Talbot and Bruno Gervais decided to ressurect the idea this time around.
Boston Bruins forward Tyler Seguin has signed with the EHC Biel of the top Swiss league, the team announced Thursday.
Seguin agreed to a six-year, $34.5-million contract extension with the Bruins a few weeks ago.
Seguin had 29 goals and 38 assists in 81 games in 2011-12.
The 20-year-old is the latest NHLer to pack his bags for Switzerland during the lockout. Jason Spezza, Mark Streit, Logan Couture, Rick Nash and Joe Thornton previously signed with Swiss teams.
Forward Artem Anisimov has signed to play with his hometown team, Lokomotiv Yaroslavl of the KHL. The 24-year-old, who was traded this summer to the Columbus Blue Jackets in the Rick Nash deal, had 16 goals and 20 assists in 79 games with the New York Rangers in 2011-12 … Defenceman Douglas Murray of the San Jose Sharks and forward Patric Hornqvist of the Nashville Predators have agreed to play for Swedish second-division team Djurgardens during the NHL lockout. Both are still sorting out insurance issues, according to HockeyExpressen … Winnipeg Jets forward Nik Antropov will return to Kazakhstan to play for Barys Astana of the KHL, according to R-Sport. Antropov previously spent time with three other KHL team but this is his first time playing for his homeland's top pro team.

Plaistow boy in abuse case released from hospitalBy JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
December 04. 2012 6:19PM
PLAISTOW - The 3-year-old boy at the center of a high-profile child abuse case who was allegedly beaten and burned is now out of the hospital, authorities said.
James Nicholson has been released from Children's Hospital at Dartmouth in Lebanon, but authorities aren't disclosing his whereabouts.
The young boy has been in the custody of the state's Division of Children, Youth and Families ever since his mother, Jessica Linscott, 23, and her boyfriend, Roland Dow, 27, fled after learning that police planned to arrest them.
They were nabbed last week after a two-week manhunt that led authorities to Universal Studios in Orlando, Fla., where U.S. Marshals caught up with the fugitive couple after they watched a parade.
Dow is accused of striking the boy in the head last month with such force that he allegedly caused him to suffer a traumatic brain injury, which led to seizures and other problems. He is also accused of burning the boy's wrist and fingers and failing to seek medical help.
Linscott is also accused of failing to seek medical care for her son when he suffered seizures, authorities said.
The young boy's grandmother, Helen Nicholson, has said he underwent two brain surgeries while hospitalized. He was left nearly blinded by the head injury, police said, but his vision has returned.
Linscott told hospital workers that her son caused the injuries to himself, but doctors told prosecutors that the injuries do not appear to be self-inflicted.
Dow's attorney, Lawrence Vogelman, has also said his client denies the charges and medical evidence will show that he's not guilty.
Linscott is being held on $100,000 cash bail at the Rockingham County Jail. Dow is jailed on $500,000 cash bail.
Meanwhile, James has seen an outpouring of support from the community and beyond in the days and weeks since he was first hospitalized on Nov. 14 at Exeter Hospital.
Many have dropped off presents for the child at the Plaistow Police Department and police have received calls from people wanting to help from as far away as Florida.

"I live in Seoul, Korea. I began painting at the age of 45 when my 15-year-old daughter chose painting as her major. Because I had no basic training in art, I practiced studying art books for years. After that period, I studied at the life-long education center and was given a degree of art by the ministry of Education and Development. I feel so proud of it. Simultaneously, I have kept painting as a member of Outdoor Watercolor Group. My daughter is studying fine art in Germany. We might be good friends in art. I thank her for inspiring me to be a painter.
Since 1996 drawing on location has been the most important principle to me. Looking at the scenes through the naked eyes, not using the photos, I could be inspired to translate vivid impressions on paper. What also attracts me is that I could meet people and share the feelings with them while sketching. I was often surprised at their high discerning capability in art. And their feedback helps me to improve my works.
Outdoor painters must be careful to the change of the light, temperature, shade and many other factors. Compared to plein air painting with an easel, sketching with simple gear is easier because you can move readily. Urban sketchers must be alert and speedy to capture the situation like a jaguar in the jungle.
I usually sketch at markets, churches, parks and subways. I keep my sketchbook with drawing materials in my sack at all times. The rough and strong lines drawn at the urgent and hurried moments on the spot give the viewers the same impressions as if they were there. Browsing those drawings helps me remember how and where I drew them. The sketches are precious to me as a record of my life. What's more is to share them with the villagers in the Earth. It's as good as it gets!"

The economy will remain sluggish and hiring slow in nine Midwest and Plains states over the next few months, according to a monthly survey of business leaders released Wednesday.
The economy will remain sluggish and hiring slow in nine Midwest and Plains states over the next few months, according to a monthly survey of business leaders released Wednesday.
The overall economic index for the region improved to 49.5 in December, after registering 48 in November and 46.5 in October. Despite the gradual improvement, any score below 50 suggests the economy will contract in the coming months.
"Our survey indicates that the region will add few jobs in the next three to six months," Creighton University Ernie Goss said.
The December employment index dipped to 48 from November's 50.5, and Goss said some manufacturing jobs could disappear in the region.
The survey of business leaders and supply managers uses a collection of indexes ranging from zero to 100. The survey covers Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota.
Inflation pressure appears to have eased a bit in December. The prices-paid index, which tracks the cost of raw materials and supplies, declined to 63.5 in December from November's 64.4 and October's 71.5.
The confidence index rose in December to the neutral level of 50 from November's 43.5.
"An improving housing environment was an important factor pushing the index higher," Goss said.
The inventory index rose to 51.5 in December from November's 44.9, so most businesses are going into the new year carrying more inventory than normal.
Other components of the overall index were:
— Exports improved slightly to 50 in December from November's 47.9.
— The import index improved to 48.7 from November's 42.6.
— New orders increased to 46.4 in December from November's 46.
— Production or sales improved to 48 from November's 46.6.
— And delivery lead time grew to 53.5 in December from November's 51.8.
