I remember being a kid and taking karate lessons. How cool was it to go somewhere for the purpose of learning how to kick ass? It was fun, of course, and one of the things you learned how to do was to attack (strike, kick, and punch) with your entire body, not just with your limbs.
Maybe the coolest parlor trick we learned was how to break a wooden board with our bare hands. (I remember surprising the hell out of Leon Hodge years later in High School by doing it in a history class one day; Hi Leon!) We also heard the story that the way this worked was that you compressed air molecules so much, so quickly, building up so great a pressure that you don't even wind up touching the board with your hand; the air in front of it breaks it.
So here's a little "mythbusting" for you:

I have an old scar from surgery can I find a suitable scar removal cream for it? What is the best scar removal cream for legs? Can I use a scar removal cream for face on legs?
The skin is prone to all manner of tear and wear. If it is not a sharp knife going through the skin on your fingers while you are fixing yourself a meal, it is bugs trying to suck blood out of your legs when you are busy working on your computer late at night. When the skin starts to heal, it can never be the same again due to the trauma, which causes it to be disorganized and sometimes discolored. In order to heal properly, the skin undergoes three different stages.
The first stage involves the area becoming swollen, red and painful. A scab may also start to form in the area. In the second stage, new fibrous tissue forms under the scab. Finally, the outer and inner layer of skin begins to reform and rebuild. Depending on how you interfere with the healing process in these stages and your skin's healing ability, scars of different types may form. Nobody likes scars especially on parts of body that will be exposed to the world. This is why the search for scar removal creams is critical. What is the best scar removal cream? Does scar removing cream really get rid of the scars completely? For answers to these questions and best removal creams for face, legs, and any other part of the body, read on.
Scar Removal Cream – Does Scar Removing Cream Get Rid of Scars Completely?
While reading various scar cream reviews online you will realize that some people are for a particular cream and others are totally against it. There is not a single scar removal cream that gives the same effects on everyone. This is because we all have different skin types. Therefore, using a scar removing cream that does not suit your type could make your skin worse or have no effect at all.
Going back at those who share that a scar cream worked to remove the scars is it really achievable? The only technique that can reduce the appearance of scars is surgical and non surgical in-office procedures. These are the only procedures that close up any dents on your face or at least reduce them significantly depending on the scar removal treatment employed. There is the laser technique, which seems to work very well on various types of scars, surgical fat grafts, and injection fillers for keloid type of scars among other procedures.
A scar removing cream on the other hand, may seem to make a scar less pronounced by brightening. Since where there is scar, there develops some discoloration, most creams work at brightening the scar surfaces. This way, they appear less prominent.
Furthermore, creams moisturize the skin where the scar appears and the surrounding areas. You are supposed to massage the cream into the scar and not just put it on like you do for lotions. This way, you stimulate the underlying skin tissues to heal in an organized manner.
Another thing that a scar removal cream does is to exfoliate the dead skin cells on the scar. Therefore, new skin cells will show instead of the old, textured and discolored skin that looks to you like a scar. This is why it is important to look at the ingredients label to ensure that you are a getting a natural skin scrub like glycolic acid, lactic acid or salicylic acid.
You are also supposed to massage the cream on the scars for several weeks and sometimes months. Consequently, you ought to be patient in order to see results. The scar will not reduce in one or two days. It takes sometime. Following the directions of the scar removal cream helps a great deal.
Best Scar Removal Cream for Legs
The legs suffer a lot from bug bites and chicken pox pimples. It therefore becomes difficult to reveal your legs in short dresses, pants and shorts. If you do not love moisturizing your legs after bathing, the scars will often appear pronounced. You can make them reduce with a scar removal cream for legs.
There are various scar creams that work, but their effectiveness depends on how well you massage them on your legs. You must also learn to exfoliate your legs with a loofah made from natural materials. Besides, you must avoid exposing your legs to the sun without proper sun block. This way, the skin on your legs will be able to absorb the scar removal cream without any difficulties and the discoloration will not be made prominent by the sun damage.
Sometimes just the mere cocoa butter bar soap or pure cocoa butter lotion works. However, if you want a stronger regimen, here are some of the best scar removal creams for legs:
- Vitak
- Vicco
- Mederma
- Momate
Face Scar Removal Cream- Facial Scar Removal Cream with SPF
Your face is quite delicate and when looking for a facial scar cream, you should ensure that it has natural ingredients. The licorice extract, kojic acid mulberry, bearberry, glycolic acid or lactic acid, and vitamin C among others are all good ingredients to go into your face scar removal cream. However, they are simply not enough.
A good SPF is also important. Some of the ingredients used in the creams brighten the skin and therefore, in order to maintain that lightened effect on your skin, you ought to protect it with sun block. If you can find a cream with SPF it would be the best thing because you do not have to buy another bottle of sun protection separately. Here are some of the best scar removal creams for face with inbuilt SPF:
- Mederma SPF 30
- Biocorneum plus SPF 30
Surgery Scar Removal Cream- Surgical Scar Removal Cream and Healing Aid
After surgery, you need to heal well and prevent the chances of developing a bigger scar. Your surgeon should suggest a surgery scar removal cream and depending on where the operation was done, you can ask if you can use silicone sheets on it and for how long.
Silicone sheets are a healing aid that apply pressure on the wound and are good to use as the wound heals. A surgical scar removal cream with silicone gel would also give you great results. Other good creams after surgery include:
- Scarguard
- Biocorneum
- Scar Away
- Acuscar Silicone Gel
- Biodermis
- Cimeosil
- Hybrisil
Old Scar Removal Cream-Is it Possible to Remove Old Scars?
It is best to treat a scar as soon as the wound heals, if you wait for months or years to pass by it may be quite difficult to use a cream on it and make it reduce. You may have to resort to surgery or non-surgical laser treatment.
A good old scar removal cream for a raised scar would be the silicone sheets. This will apply pressure on the scar and make it reduce in height. Other good creams for old scars include:
- Scar guard
- Kelo-cote
- Mederma
Homemade Scar Removal Cream-Removing Scars at Home
In case you do not want to gamble with commercial creams, you can always make your own invention at home. This way, you will get to experiment with various ingredients and see what works best. Mixing Shea butter with an essential oil such as Frankincense oil would give you a homemade scar removal cream that is effective. If you do not have shea butter, you can always mix olive oil, lavender oil and beeswax and boil them together to make a cream.
What is the Best Dark Scar Removal Cream?
The best dark scar removal cream would be one that is able to fade your scar. Most fade creams can do a good job in this. However, you have to use them solely for fading the dark scar and not as fairness creams since most of them contain hydroquinone. If you live in the European Union countries, you do not have to worry about the effects of hydroquinone because it is banned there.
Scar Removal Cream for Kids-Best Way to Remove Kids Scars
It is difficult for kids to sit still and therefore they are bound to get all manner of scars from running up and down and hitting themselves on hard surfaces. If your kid gets a wound, try to keep it covered and moisturized with an antibiotic ointment. Furthermore, once the scar heals, you can use:
- Merderma for kids
- Silicone sheets
- Cocoa butter
- Or simply vitamin E oil

Here you go Donnie.
Better check that this applies to your 02 though before you cut - sure someone on here will clue you in. Or you might want to do a search as it's a popular topic.
thank you it told me not too but I was looking at my date on the bike and it was made in dec 01 so dose it make it a 01 mmm.it sold on my paper work as a 02.so I will look around.just looking for more power crazy a.thanks again.maybe I should ride the 07 more.. just like my 01 or 02 what ever it is...
Have a look first Donnie as it might already have been done.
mate cut the wire, all milles 98 -03 are the same
no worries!
thank you for the help.I thought so but just wanted to make sure.hate to fook it up.cause she runs awesome although this morning the batt took a dump on me so I pushed her back in the gerage and grab my 07 .lucky and blessed man I am , thank you guys for all the help.
Check the airbox aswell the intake has a restriction plate on it.
Thank you I have done that mod.I have geared it .so the only thing to do is the ecu mod.hehehe.what about the 07 modle any clue on that one ?I have a 07 rsvr.I was suppose to get a duc and saw the 07 platinum silver and lipstick ed and well bought another aprilia thanks for the help.donnie
hey fuse what if I have a chip.would make any defferance if any to cut the wire ?
what about the 06 is there and where is
some pics if there is
36mm valve models
RSV 1999 Eprom Sport 854 The very first RSV's eprom.
Only derestricted map. Trimpots are working
RSV 2000 Eprom A63 Modified Sport854, added restricted map, de-restricted
map a little leaner, trim pots de-activated
38mm valve models
RSV 01-03 Eprom RP58 Twin map, trimpots working.
The de-restricted map have the highest ignition advance used standard by
aprilia on these bikes.
The most tuning eproms have the same map on different addresses so when you cut the wire the ecu is looking at a differend adress just to find the same maps.
In general you can cut the wire, you feel the difference immediately when you have a de-restricted map.
So the biggest treat for the early models a RP58.
Set you back around 25 Euro's
Works fine on open front & end with wire cut.
If you want better fuelling and scharper trotlle responce I have a Custom made one for 50 Euro's
Just my 2 cents
The later models have a completely different motomanagment with embedded software and secondary maps are only to be activated with special equipment.
Last edited by DrRossi; February 1st, 2009 at 08:04 AM.
04 onwards model need to have the ecu switched on to engine version 2 by using the axone unit and the throttle bodies balanced correctly afterwards.
if you want the fuelling correct buy a power commander rather than a chip thats been made for this type of engine , as every engine has its own
" personality" A custom map will tweek the fuelling spot on for that exact engine rather than guess work ( probably a little harsh but....)
each engine is different its been used differently treated diff in the past , not a big fan myself!
strange i though all the stock chips had the trim pots functional , it was just the moddified chips that stopped them working.....!
hope this helps?
thanks griff.I just cut the ecu wire on the 02 and it seems to have worked just fine. I have the arrow chip and it seems it gave me alittle more top speed and some mid good times.thanks again for the help. all the best donnie
if at all possible you should now balance the throttle bodies and retrim the C/o s to smooth out the fuelling at low speed and give you back some of the control at low speed , makes the bike run luuurvly!
According to the manual the trim pots were active on 98 bikes but were disabled on 99/2000 and re activated on 2001 on oem chips.
I know Sabre's stock chip and my 2000 rsv had deactivated trimmers if that sheds any light on it.
I also have an email from Aprilia stating that 2003 bikes have the same map in both locations on the stock chip and not to cut the wire as it's not needed. Not that it will hurt just you get the same map.
I have a Hermann Co tester and tried several eproms, actually I tried more than a dozen to find out that there are a lot of RP58 eproms sold as Tuned ones.
I have all the Original ones that are fitted in our Rotax engine and some realy adjusted ones.
Since I have some decent software, a programmer and a dyno nearby,
I have been pushing the envelope of what is possible to gain from ignition and fuelling.
Often they make a bike run rich just for sound regulation.
I could send you a RP58 for test puposes only on you're 2000 model
I have the 2003 "US" Edwards version with 57mm TB's and Akrapovic Exhaust.. I installed the chip labeled "57mm" from Aprilia, Do you have any experience with this chip and how it performs? I also have the Akrapovic chip and the stock chip that came with the bike..
The 2003 model Rossi has always been a point of contention ecu wire wise.
Most of the 2003 bikes i have seen had not had the wire cut by the dealer hence why i asked the question of Aprilia when we were doing some work with a mates 2003 bike.
On his bike the tuner we were using for the dyno etc could not detect a difference between wire cut/wire not cut or at least not a discernable difference.
The dealer who liased with Aprilia for us also confirmed they hadn't cut any wires on the 2003 bikes they had sold.
I have to say the jury is still out, I have seen Aprilia racing eeproms with disabled trimmers dispite Aprilia saying they are always active so even they don't seem 100% aware of what is going in the bike at any 1 time.
Sold my 2000 bike long time ago but thanks for the chip offer.
At the end of the day if you cut the wire you win both ways. If it has a second map you get a gain but if it doesn't you get the same so you can't lose.
Sorry I haven't had a change to look at that one.
But I think the edwards TB and the chip are developed for eachother so I would stick with that.
I suppose more air needs more fuell
Hello griff, spoonz and Dr rossi .with my ecu wire cut on my 02 it is running very luvvvly with no needed tweeks on tbs or anything at all .I do feel a little more umph in her .not a whole lot. but so I geussed it helped out. but I find it odd because i have the arrow chip in it and did it go to map two .it must of because i feel abit of a defferance in it. time to get it dynoed.with it cut and not cut and that will tell if it is really working or not.dam that is a long rambal on. sorry.. donnie

Four Finger Daiquiris and the Midnight Run for Munchies – Part 1
The day had started out with me attempting to fill my role as Social Chairman for my college fraternity. It was a Wednesday which usually meant a mixer with a sorority which I had prearranged and also meant that I had to gather up whatever libations would be shooting down collegiate throats that evening. I had decided on strawberry daiquiris mostly because I found some really cheap rum enabling a mass quantity purchase. The brand was something like "Caribbean Hurl Inducer" and had a picture on the label of a pirate ship being keel hauled. Although it was clear as though free from anything toxic (possibly similar to the absence of good sense for me), it smelled like rotten tomatoes had been part of the fermentation process.
About an hour before the mixer was to start I was busily arranging the magical ingredients so as to provide production line-like efficiency for mixing drinks - I was an industrial statistics major at the time after all. My hope was to deliver an unending availability of drinks thereby hastening the process of softening up the moral defenses of young coeds. In the middle of this process one of my fellow frat boys came into the kitchen to see what we were serving. Once he realized it was one of his favorites, he insisted that I make a batch for "quality control purposes" (him being an industrial engineer). That evening I was inclined to agree since I wasn't too worried about supplies given the aforementioned purchase quantity and I was planning on two fingers worth for each batch. I fitted the pitcher onto the blender's base, added the ingredients and away we went!
I sipped away as I continued moving things around and my fraternal chum decided to stick around and help with final preparations and we realized once the kitchen setup was just right that we had consumed the entire pitcher. I bordered on euphoria as did my cohort and we decided on a second batch. Except this time constraint had been washed away by the rum like a magnificent sand castle at high tide. It was now four fingers worth of rum into the small plastic cauldron of debauchery.
At this point, we exited the kitchen to ensure our fraternal home was acceptable for guests which meant all barf stains had been cleansed from the last party. I am convinced that the designer of our fraternity house operated in much the same manner that we did that night – working around something alcoholic. As he had started out at the sober end of the scale he had said, "For the floor - something durable and easy to clean: terrazzo!" Unbelievably far sighted and wise. Plus your shoes made a really cool sound when you walked where spilled beer had dried up and left the floor sticky. Screech! Scrooch! Screech! Scrooch! But as this former fraternity brother had labored into the night and his will was bent and twisted by demon rum, he thought, "The house needs to be open and inviting (hic)! I'm going to put huge windows – no! I am going to use round columns and the walls will be huge sheets of glass!" This just means that you held no secrets from your rival fraternities and your Plexiglas bill will be quite large in later years. It was amazing to see an empty keg break out one of these windows.
Everything to our satisfaction, we returned to the kitchen as comely lasses began to enter the front door. The production line started up, and we began to produce high octane daiquiris sure to please the most discerning of palates. Of course, we continued to sip on our own but fortunately at a much slower rate.
Things were going well and we proceeded to concoct for a couple of hours, with nary a collegian walking about the terrazzo halls of our house sans refreshment. Then the fraternity president burst into/onto our happy scene, "What in the hell are you guys putting into those daiquiris!?" Every person in the house is sloppy drunk!" Our president (who to his credit, remained the voice of reason among the din of chaotic drunkenness), practically grabbed us by our collars and shoved us into the central sitting area.
Horrified we watched as everyone tottered around in slow motion, speech slurred almost to inanity. It was like watching a reasonably well produced zombie classic filmed in daiquiri vision! Some attendees just grunted and growled instead of using the spoken word adding to the effect. People drug their feet as they walked, arms hanging lifeless at their sides. Others were more animated in their actions, something like Joe Cocker at Woodstock.
Just then a shriek emerged from the near the front door followed by, "She's going into the chapter room!" In most fraternity houses, the chapter room was where you held your ultra secret meetings and the one room you didn't trash during a party. Smart fraternities keep the door locked to this room which explains why ours did not have a door (more proof that our architect brother had more proof). I looked in time to see a drunken, calorically challenged coed pulling away from a fellow frat member as he attempted to guide her steps towards the ladies room (near the front door). She had misinterpreted his gesture of good will as an attempt to show her his etchings, had torn free and navigated towards the next available room in order to answer the call of nature.
Quickly, she was intercepted and, due to her ample girth, it took four of us to guide her towards the front door where she could go out and have her call answered personally by Mother Nature. We resembled a squadron of tugs escorting the Queen Mary in very rough seas but the deed was accomplished. We propped her against the brick wall just outside the door where she proceeded to squat and pressure wash the bricks on our front walk. Someone immediately produced and placed stolen road barriers on either side of her, directing partygoers to an alternate entrance.
As you can imagine, my co-worker and I were unceremoniously banished from the kitchen and our president began looking for the coffee pot. We ambled dejectedly toward the front door, taking no joy in the screech-scrooch of our shoes, ignored the barriers in a haze of rum soaked self pity and walked across the freshly scrubbed bricks. From there we went to sit on the front wall of the house to nurse our bruised and pickled egos.
But as we sat there, partygoers began to trickle from the house: groups of two or more passed by us and - They were joyful! We caught brief snatches of "Best party ever!" and "You guys are great! Nothing like what we had heard." Our fraternity brothers were coming outside to wave goodbye to new friends, phone numbers in hand, the ink still wet. My counterpart and I looked at each other and smiled before shaking hands over a job well done. However, the small voices in our heads that had directed our rum quantities throughout the night were now being drowned out by rumblings from our stomachs. We realized it was time to seek out and destroy our munchies. More in Part 2.

What a funny video!
Bryan, I usually read hubs for information and don't read a lot of the stories which, I can see from this one, is really stupid of me. You are a wonderful writer and tell your story with great humor.
Love the Don Martin-esque sounds. Funny & I'm glad I wasn't there to slurp the Demon run!
Shooka shooka,
Great story!!Your profile photo caught my attention and made me click on this hub. I suspected by all the orange, you just might be from Tennessee. GO VOLS! :)

Debugging sleeping connections with MySQLPeter Zaitsev
Have you ever seen connection in the SHOW PROCESSLIST output which is in "Sleep" state for a long time and you have no idea why this would happen ?
I see if frequently with web applications and it is often indication of trouble. Not only it means you may run out of MySQL connections quicker than you expected but it also frequently indicates serious problems in the application. If you do not use persistent connections and you have connection in Sleep stage for 600 seconds what could it be ? It may mean some of your pages take that long to generate (or might be the code simply gets into the tight loop and page never gets generated) it also could mean some of external Web Services are slow or not available and you're not dealing with timeouts properly. Or may be you have several connections to MySQL server and right now running query which takes that long ? In any case it is something frequently worth looking at.
First task is to find to which process the connection belongs. Using different user names for different application is a good practice however it will not tell you which of apache children is handling request in question. If you just want to fix it, ie by restarting apache it is enough but if you want to figure our why it is happening you need more info.
You my notice in the "Host" filed of SHOW PROCESSLIST output not only host but also port is specified, showing you something like
"192.168.1.70:58555" This port can be used to identify the process which owns connection in question:
[root@w1 ~]# netstat -ntp | grep :45384
tcp 0 0 192.168.1.70:45384 192.168.1.82:3306 ESTABLISHED 28540/php-cgi
As you can see in this case we can find php-cgi is holding connection in question (this is lighttpd based system with fastcgi)
Now you know the process and you can use your favorite tools to check what that process is doing.
[root@w1 ~]# netstat -ntp | grep 28540
tcp 0 0 192.168.1.70:58555 192.168.1.90:11211 ESTABLISHED 28540/php-cgi
tcp 0 0 192.168.1.70:52711 192.168.1.88:8080 ESTABLISHED 28540/php-cgi
tcp 0 0 192.168.1.70:45384 192.168.1.82:3306 ESTABLISHED 28540/php-cgi
tcp 0 0 192.168.1.70:45399 192.168.1.82:3306 ESTABLISHED 28540/php-cgi
tcp 0 0 192.168.1.70:45407 192.168.1.82:3306 ESTABLISHED 28540/php-cgi
tcp 0 0 192.168.1.70:45408 192.168.1.82:3306 ESTABLISHED 28540/php-cgi
tcp 0 0 192.168.1.70:35556 192.168.1.92:11211 ESTABLISHED 28540/php-cgi
Using same netstat command and filtering on the PID we can find which connections does this process have. Here you can see it has couple of memcached connections. Few MySQL connections (to the same host, which if usually bad idea) and connection to some external web server.
You can use strace -p
By the way does anyone know any debugger which can connect to PHP process or apache with mod_php and provide backtrace in PHP terms not the one for zend engine ? That would be pretty cool.
Yet another great tool which you can use is server-status if you're running apache. This way you will see the URL which that process is processing and so get few more hints on what may be happening or even get repeatable example in some cases.
The tools I mentioned regarding figuring our what is happening with the process are not only helpful to debug sleeping connections with MySQL but many other cases when you see web application locking up or starting to runs in the tight loop consuming too much CPU time.
If you know any other tools which could be helpful in this regard would appreciate your comments. There might be some smarter tools out where for production tracing.

The US Department of Labor has put forth 6 requirements if you are planning on hiring unpaid interns in your company (SEO, or otherwise). For the past 3 years or so we've had a very successful internship program at Elite Strategies.
Many of our interns have gone on to gain full-time employment with our company or have gained employment from other marketing agencies.
Here are the requirements taken directly from the DoL website.
Essentially the main point is that the intern should be given credit hours in exchange for work, and the intern really shouldn't be substituted for a full time position.
For instance, if you are an SEO company you can have an intern write some content or build some links, but they can't be your primary content writer. You also must provide guidance to them i.e. give them meaningful on the job training.
For starters you should really develop a curriculum for each intern you bring on. We have 4 basic internship profiles at our company:
For each intern profile, we created a curriculum for each profile. For example our general intern who is geared towards a student with a wealth of knowledge but is unsure what direction they want to head in is given a curriculum with these main points:
During the internship interview process you need to establish a few things. You need to find out what hours they are available and what direction they want to head in.
Once you have their hours and their interests, you can give them a packet that includes the hours they will be working (usually 10-20 hours per week) and a curriculum for work purposes.
This part is tricky but is actually way easier than it seems. I'm not going to give away all the secrets on this one but you basically need to form a relationship with someone at the University and go from there. Once you are "in" with them they will tell you what they need from you. With one university all we needed to do was send the hours they interned. Another university required us to submit a weekly report on what they completed. In short, it varies.
We normally do a hardcore push 2x a year, summer and winter. We run a PPC ad on Facebook targeting local students, and also post on local college / university campuses. We also created a landing page to collect sign-ups. If you are an established internship provider you'll get a bit more assistance in getting interns.
This year for instance, we closed off our application window within a week because we got such a large response. The first year is the hardest, but if you do a good.
If you have a good plan of action and show your interns that you are a reputable company that is going to teach them something, you will no doubt be able to find several good interns within a short period of time.
As far as "how many" interns to hire, that is up to you. We usually don't take on more than 2-3 at a time. We have a small office so we really can only handle a few at a time. Your call.
Many people think that having interns is just as simple as having a pool of free labor. It is not that easy. Most interns crave knowledge and want the experience so they can work at a big firm. They do not want to do "busy work." We've had several interns quit because they felt we did not challenge them enough. We learned from this rather quick which is the point where we started creating curriculum.
Personally, I was lucky enough to have an internship at an ISP in the early 2000's. They didn't trust me with any of the really important stuff, but I had the opportunity to learn the inner workings of the company and learn many valuable skills.

Message To Investors
Fostering Innovation for the Future
At the Recruit Group, all of our employees work to create new value with stakeholders, by directly addressing any dissatisfaction, inconvenience, and unease among our customers and in society.
In 1960, during Japan's high economic growth period, Recruit was founded by a college student as a venture company in the job advertisement business for college students. Recruit has provided numerous opportunities to society while growing alongside Japan's economy. In the HR Media business, its founding business, Recruit has delivered a wide choice of job posts so that individuals could find a suitable one. We also have created opportunities for people; part-time work and temporary staffing gained acceptance as alternatives to full-time employment; people decided to change jobs; and more women chose to join the workforce.
In the Marketing Media business, through a variety of media, Recruit has published information about restaurants, beauty salons, and travel that enables people to lead fulfilling lifestyles, in addition to offering ideas on how to find an ideal home or plan a wedding. At the Recruit Group, we are proud of the role of helping people make decisions on their own from a diverse range of options, and opening up a constrained and uncertain world to more information and choices. Our services have become a new type of infrastructure for industry, therefore it is important to accelerate their improvement; we are responsible to society.
Aiming to Build the World's Leading Platform
In 2013, we revised our management philosophy for the first time since founding, and formulated a medium- to long-term vision. Not content with its number one position in Japan, the Recruit Group decided on a new management philosophy, Opportunities for Life, which aims to offer new opportunities to people around the world, including Japan.
The Recruit Group has milestones for growth as we pursue global expansion. We have set our sights on becoming the world leader in human resources by 2020 in terms of number of positions filled. A decade further, by 2030, we aim to become the world leader in HR media and have the world's leading matching platform, in terms of service user population.
Formulating Mid- to Long-Term Policies to Realize Our Vision
To realize this vision, over the next three years (fiscal 2016 to fiscal 2018), Recruit aims to achieve steady earnings growth in the Domestic Media and Staffing businesses, while maintaining strong growth in the overseas HR Media business.
In the Domestic Media business, which consists of Marketing Media and HR Media in Japan, Recruit aims to develop new businesses while reinforcing its competitiveness in existing businesses, which enjoy overwhelming scale. A prime example of a new business, Air Series, developed for the purpose of improving operational efficiency at small and medium-sized enterprises, has seen steady growth on the number of its clients. We aim to expand the business further through collaboration with our media businesses and tie-up with other company's services.
In overseas HR Media, we aim for strong growth centered on Indeed, a service that aggregates job information from across the web. In the US, Recruit aims to maintain strong growth and monetization; outside the US, we will focus on marketing investment in scale expansion for future earnings. With these ambitions, we aim to at least double sales in the overseas HR Media business over the next three years.
In addition to strengthening existing businesses for Indeed (i.e., the job advertising business that addresses the clients' needs to recruit employees), Recruit will proactively examine entering new businesses that leverage Indeed's advanced technologies, client base and user base. Our clients face a variety of human resource challenges in addition to new personnel recruitment. Recruit intends to evolve into a company to handle a broader range of HR-related operations by providing solutions to satisfy its clients' needs. To flexibly implement this growth strategy, Recruit has broadened the time frame of its management targets from "stable growth each fiscal year" to "compound annual growth rate for three years." We also adopted adjusted EPS as a management target to emphasize improvement in shareholder value. For three years ending March 31, 2019, we pursue high single digit compound annual growth rate (CAGR), which is higher than current target.
Taking on the Challenge of Solving Social Issues
We are ready to take on more complex and diverse challenges amid rapid changes in society and the environment brought about by globalization and IT. In Japan, we will directly take on issues that have created inequalities in society as the result of a shrinking labor population and the depopulation of outlying regions amid declining birthrates and a growing elderly population. If Recruit last 100 years, it will be expected to play a role of solving the global issues.
Japan is looked upon as an advanced country with new problems and now confronting social issues that other countries are likely to face in the near future, such as a shrinking working population due to declining birthrates and a growing elderly population, income inequality, regional inequalities, and the resulting inequality in education. We believe it is essential to tackle these social issues, head-on.
Recruit is proud of its accomplishments solving social issues throughout its history. With its overseas sales ratio of about 36% in fiscal 2015, the Recruit Group sees a need to boldly take on new challenges emerging amid rapid changes in society and the environment as a result of globalization and advances in IT to gain trust from communities and meet the expectations of society. To address global issues, such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations, Recruit aims to make a better future through collaboration with various organizations as well as long-term business development.
Identifying Underlying Negatives, Fostering New Innovations
To take on new challenges, each employee gains insights from their interactions with users and clients leveraging strong connection with them, understand market structure, and take action to find solutions for underlying issues.
Leveraging the diverse customer connections unique to the Recruit Group, we have ceaselessly pursued innovation in tune with trends in society, such as the transition from paper to online media, developing services in brick-and-mortar stores, providing information and reservations service, as well as streamlining clients' operations. This has been facilitated by the unique corporate culture of the Recruit Group, where everyone mutually respects the potential of the individual, as employees work together with an entrepreneurial spirit and a strong sense of ownership in a disciplined approach to maximizing their potential. We create new opportunities by constantly thinking, bringing others into the fold, and taking action.
Have we truly identified all the issues for our users and clients? Each and every employee strives to quickly discover any underlying negative issues, set high ideals, and move with determination to improve society and markets by addressing these social issues. We believe our culture to work to the best of our abilities is the source of strength at Recruit. Not satisfied with the status, we question ourselves, reassess the situation, take action, and promote innovation to create new value. As time flows from the future through the present, now is always a new starting point. Looking beyond Japan, the Recruit Group is also working to create new value in an increasingly complex world while striving to solve global issues.
With its stakeholders, the Recruit Group will make every effort to meet the growing society's expectation.

Denver's plans will keep protesters out of sight and out of earshot.
The delegates who'll wave signs, speak their minds and nominate a presidential candidate at the Democratic National Convention next month in Denver will be treated by the city like royalty. But the people who want to wave signs, speak their minds and demonstrate outside the convention hall have already gotten a taste of Denver's hospitality. They're being treated like a bunch of pests.
City officials stalled for months after the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado sought information about convention plans. The city responded only after several groups sued, and then with a plan that treats free speech like the flu. Anyone showing symptoms will be isolated, particularly from delegates.
A February promise from Mayor John Hickenlooper that at least one designated parade route would end "within sight and sound of the convention site" was essentially abandoned. The route now ends several blocks away, and parades must end one hour before convention sessions begin.
Meanwhile, demonstrators who want to be near the hall, where their message can be heard and seen, will be confined to a "demonstration zone" surrounded by mesh wire and concrete barriers. It is about two football fields from the hall's main entrances. It looks as if the delegates would need superhuman powers to see or hear the marchers. Which seems to be precisely the idea.
It is all a very strange fit for a political convention in a nation where people prize nothing quite as much as their freedom to speak their minds, particularly about politicians. Their right to do so is enshrined in the Constitution's First Amendment, along with a right to assemble and protest.
Particularly since 9/11, the stated reason for pushing protests far from the action has been security, a valid concern. Unstated is that neither political party wants a repeat of the 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago, where anti-war protests turned into melees with police, and the televised turmoil helped doom the party's ticket. A little common sense could strike an appropriate balance.
Instead, host cities use security and far less valid issues as excuses to squelch speech. In 2004, New York City declared Central Park off limits to two huge demonstrations. One concern? That protesters might tear up the park's sprawling Great Lawn. The same year, Boston reached a new low: For the Democratic convention, it set up what's best described as a cage for protesters, under railroad tracks and covered by razor wire. A federal judge called it "grim, mean and oppressive."
This summer, St. Paul is doing a bit better: Marchers will be able to get within 84 feet of the Republican National Convention, but they must end the parade by midafternoon. Teresa Nelson of the ACLU of Minnesota says, "We have a permit to march to an empty building."
At least they'll get closer than the folks in Colorado, where Nita Gonzales, a Denver native and longtime organizer, says the city is merely paying "lip service to civil liberties."
Both cities' leaders need a remedial course in American values. In 2004, in the face of Boston's oppressive rules, U.S. District Judge Douglas Woodlock put it well when he wrote that protesters "are not meddling interlopers. … They are participants in our democratic life." It's tough to participate when you're behind a fence and blocks away from where you can be seen and heard.

"Why not go to Bavaria?" ask the billboards, emblazoned with color photos of fairy-tale castles, Oktoberfest and BMWs. Posted along Bangalore's rickshaw-choked streets, the tidy European images are more surreal than alluring. But the claims offered by go-to-bavaria.com, an agency that promotes high-tech investment in Germany's southern powerhouse and the creator of the ads, are impressive: Bavaria is the second-largest IT region in Europe and fourth-largest in the world; almost a third of Germany's computer manufacturing jobs are based in Bavaria; the list goes on. Not only that, but the region is desperate for skilled high-tech workers and will gladly take them from India or anywhere else.
So why not go to Bavaria? Because, as the shocking results of France's first-round elections so forcefully demonstrated, the immigration issue in Europe is a highly emotional one. Not only is Bavaria notoriously anti-immigration, but like Jean-Marie Le Pen, its ultraconservative governor-turned-chancellor-candidate has made immigration control the central focus of next September's national elections. Bavaria represents the crux of Germany's current dilemma: The past three years saw promising moves toward resolving the country's immigration problems, but in the past six months security concerns and a deepening economic crisis have radically changed people's thinking on the issue. Even as ad campaigns aim to lure workers from thousands of miles away, voices from across the political spectrum are urging that foreigners be viewed with a new suspicion. It is these contradictions that shaped the debate over Germany's first immigration law, which made it through Parliament this spring by one controversial vote.
The slim margin was not surprising. Postwar Germany has never allowed for an official, permanent immigrant population, and it was not so long ago that Helmut Kohl declared that Germany was "not a nation of immigrants." Nearly 10 percent of the population are foreigners, but none were invited as permanent, or even long-term, residents. Most are guest-workers imported from Southern Europe to fuel the economic miracle of the 1950s and 1960s. They were supposed to go home when the job was done. Newer immigrants are mostly family members allowed to join them, never selected as future Germans. The other large group is humanitarian immigrants: asylum recipients, asylum seekers and refugees. They have been tolerated because Germany's basic law guarantees protection, not because they are wanted.
When the Social Democrats took over in 1998, the government made some impressive changes. A new citizenship law passed three years ago meant that having German blood was no longer the only way to get citizenship. The green card program, started the following summer, was the first attempt in nearly thirty years to import a foreign labor force (although like the guest-worker program before, it also assumes that the workers will eventually go home). Discussion about the new law to allow for long-term and permanent immigration to Germany began only in the fall of 2000.
After September 11, though, the mood changed dramatically. The discovery that several hijackers had spent time in Germany over the past few years produced an outright panic. Two sets of security laws, passed in response to the attacks, include profiling and tracking measures that severely limit foreigners' rights. Calling for a review of the security risks associated with foreigners, the government decided to postpone discussion of the immigration law in Parliament. With federal elections looming in September, the delay gave the opposition Christian Democrats the opening they needed to make immigration a campaign issue.

Fitzpatrick Successfully Defends Drug Lescol® on Behalf of Client Novartis
On January 20, 2011, Fitzpatrick won summary judgment on behalf of its client Novartis and against generic drug maker Mylan in a Hatch-Waxman suit involving Novartis's patent for its anticholesterol drug Lescol.
Mylan had sought FDA approval to market a generic copy of Lescol, and had challenged the enforceability of Novartis's patent based upon two equitable defenses: prosecution laches and patent misuse.
In August 2010, Mylan moved for summary judgment upon its prosecution laches defense, and Novartis moved for summary judgment against both defenses. After oral argument on the motions on November 9, 2010, U.S. District Judge Sheridan granted Novartis's case-dispositive summary judgment motion and denied Mylan's summary judgment motion. In an opinion dated January 26, 2011, Judge Sheridan ruled that Novartis did not unjustifiably delay its prosecution of the Lescol patent to trigger prosecution laches, and did not impermissibly broaden the temporal scope of the patent to commit patent misuse.
Novartis's litigation team was led by Fitzpatrick partners Nicholas Kallas, Diego Scambia and Christopher Loh, with associates Brian O'Reilly, Margaret Scoolidge and Cheney Huang. Fitzpatrick's co-counsel in the suit was McCarter & English.

BOISE, Idaho-The state's groundwater irrigators are banking on a wet winter and may face widespread future curtailment if it doesn't materialize.
Idaho Department of Water Resources Director Gary Spackman recently determined groundwater pumpers owe surface water irrigators 45,000 acre-feet of water to offset diminished Upper Snake Plain storage carryover due to their pumping.
Absent any replacement water, IDWR would send curtailment notifications to groundwater pumpers with a priority date after July 1, 1985.
For the first time, pumpers are utilizing an option to spread their mitigation burden over several years, rather than replacing all of the water at once. Annual obligations-11,924 acre-feet in the first year, 9,022 acre-feet in the second year and 3,824 acre-feet in the third year-are based on the diminishing volume of water that would return to the Snake River each year through curtailment of junior pumpers.
Though IDWR modeled obligations covering the next two decades, it's unlikely replacement water will be owed for more than a few years, since the burden is erased once storage reservoirs completely refill, explained IDWR Deputy Director Mathew Weaver. But Weaver worries pumpers will face a deeper hole if there's another dry year, potentially resulting in curtailment orders if they couldn't meet the combined mitigation requirement.
"We might have to go out and curtail, and we've never had to do that on the Surface Water Coalition water call," Weaver said.
Lynn Tominaga, executive director of Idaho Groundwater Appropriators, said the challenge of leasing replacement water has left his members with no better options. Pumpers have already paid the City of Pocatello $25 per acre-foot for 10,000 acre-feet toward the director's mitigation order-compared with the $7 per acre-foot they paid in 2012. Tominaga said he's investigating a few options to lease the final 1,924 acre-feet of this year's burden.
"The issue is we've approached folks to try and buy some water, and what they've said is, `We're not selling because we don't know if we're going to have enough snow or not and what the weather conditions are going to be,'" Tominaga said.
The vast majority of the pumpers' water debt is owed to surface water irrigators with rights in American Falls Reservoir, which fills completely in 90 percent of the years. Since American Falls is the system's final reservoir, Tominaga emphasized replacement water will be flushed to free storage space, wasting his members' roughly $250,000 investment if the reservoir fills as he hopes.
Surface Water Coalition attorney Travis Thompson said his organization is likely to petition the IDWR director to reconsider his decision allowing pumpers to spread out their obligation. He's concerned about the uncertainty the policy would cause his members regarding their water supply.
"If you have an established injury and that's not mitigated in a timely fashion where it protects the seniors' rights, I think you've got a problem with what's being provided," Thompson said.

Comments for a Cause - North Iowa Christmas Cheer Fund
In the month of December, I will be donating $0.50 for every comment made on my blog to the North Iowa Christmas Cheer Fund.
The North Iowa Christmas Cheer Fund is a special program established by North Iowa's regional newspaper, the Globe Gazette in Mason City, Iowa. In 1927, Globe Gazette Publisher Lee Loomis set out to collect donations from people across the area so that every child in North Iowa could have a present on Christmas morning. Through the years, the Cheer Fund has come to help bring Christmas Cheer to people of all ages in the form of gifts, to food, to Christmas trees, and more.
Cash donations are collected and then every penny received is returned in the form of gift cards to applicants in need of help this time of year. This year's goal is $125,000. Please help me help the Cheer Fund reach that goal by commenting on any and all posts this month. If you would personally like to help as well, donations may be dropped off or mailed to the Globe Gazette Christmas Cheer Fund, Box 271, Mason City, IA 50402. People can apply for help from the Cheer Fund by filling and dropping off applications at the Globe Gazette, located at 300 N Washington Ave in Mason City during weekday hours.
What help makes your home feel like Christmas? Remember to Comment for a Cause!

How to write a speech
What types of speeches may I have to prepare?
- An opening speech
- A policy statement
- A speech for/against a resolution/amendment
- Any other speech presenting your views and proposed solutions: e.g. during a moderated caucus or an emergency
Open every speech by addressing the Secretariat and other delegations, for example:
Honourable Chair and Distinguished Delegates
After your speech you may or may not open yourself to points of information (questions). Every speech should be made in formal language and in the third person.
An opening speech is the first speech of each delegation and is said during the Opening Ceremony. It is said by the leader of each delegation and should last no more than three minutes. While you are allowed to structure your speech however you like, there are certain things which you might wish to include. Think about how you want other countries to perceive you and who you want to build an alliance with. Who are your major political allies or trading partners? Why would they want to be your allies? In your opening speech you may wish to convince them to turn to you as a political partner. You might choose to mention, for example:
- Some relevant details about your country (History? Position? Neighbours? Army size? Economy?), for example:
Having been inhabited for over 12 thousand years, Egypt is the largest Arab country in the world.
- The views of your country on the issues in each council (What concerns you the most? Any similar problems in your country? Would you suggest a radical solution?), for example:
The Arab Republic of Egypt recognises the serious problem that human trafficking is and has approved legislation criminalising all forms of human trafficking.
- A greeting or encouragement for debate:
We look forward to taking part in fruitful debates during this conference
If you opt for the council-by-council version, keep each of the issues discussed brief.
Like most introductions, the opening speech is best when written last, after the leader has had a chance to consider the overall strategy of the delegation.
Overall, your opening speech should set the tone of your delegation as a whole. You are encouraged to have fun with it and be brave about expressing your country's stance.
A policy statement is said in your council/committee and normally lasts about three minutes, although you may motion to make it longer or shorter, or your chair may decide to change the time allowed. It should present your country's views on the issues discussed in your committees and, ideally, include some solutions which later to put in a resolution or expand in another speech. It should be preceded by some sound research on the topic. Writing your speech, think about how other countries will perceive you and who you might want to ally with. What you may want to include:
- An outline of a similar problem in your country, or related issues with which your state has dealt with in the past (What was it? How was it tackled? Can the current issue be resolved similarly? How did it influence your country's view?)
In France, the use of renewable energy has long been concentrated on the production of electricity through a growing number of wind engines and solar panels.
The government has raised the public sector minimum wage and pensions, and the central bank has lowered its key interest rates by a full percentage point to encourage growth.
- Recommended solutions to the problems, usually based on past experiences of your country (How can a similar policy be implemented? How can your country help the region affected? What should other countries do?)
Small hydropower development should be encouraged and fossil fuel imports should be reduced by 50%.
Most importantly, think of what your country has already done or what its representatives have said – governmental programmes, international projects, etc. Strengthen your speech by statistics or quotes from politicians or businessmen.
From an African perspective French-African relations under Nicolas Sarkozy were extremely disorganized, says Abdou Diouf, former Senegalese president, and current Secretary-General of the OIF.
Nuclear power still represents 78% of the electricity mix, wind power stands at 2% and solar power less than 0.5%.
DON'T describe the issue as a whole: it is the chair's responsibility to explain anything that might be unclear.
A speech for/against a resolution/amendment is much more spontaneous than a policy statement. Do not let this discourage you from making one – put down some main points on paper. After the submission of a resolution and then amendments to this resolution you will have the opportunity to speak for or against one of them. As for the structure:
- State your view early on and reinforce it throughout.
- Be clear about why you support the resolution/amendment or what it is about the resolution/amendment that you disagree with. The general idea? Specific clauses?
- Do not be afraid to state your judgement confidently – convince your fellow delegates to vote according to your liking.
Other speeches that may be required of you, e.g. during General Speakers List or an emergency scenario, are similar to your policy statement, although you will usually need a greater sense of purpose and a deeper focus on particular solutions rather than your country's stance.
Each speech you make is an opportunity to gather allies!
In case of doubt or queries e-mail or message any member of the Secretariat.

CLOCA is currently in the process of developing management plans for all of its
conservation lands. The general goals for all conservation area management plans are:
A conservation area management plan outlines the existing conditions within a property
(i.e. what is currently there, who uses the property etc.), a long-term concept plan for
the area (i.e. what does one expect to see going on in the area in twenty years time) and
a management strategy (i.e. what management activities need to take place now and in the
future in order to achieve the long-term concept plan). Conservation area management
plans are working documents that are intended to help guide CLOCA staff in the management
of both the natural resources and the public uses that occur within the area.

Jacana Media Launches Staging Post, a Division to Assist Writers with Self-Publishing
Jacana Media is delighted to announce the launch of Staging Post – The Stories We Tell. It is a publishing division devoted to assisting writers to self-publish their books. The growth of self-published books is not news. Self-publishing has existed for many years, but has been more on the margins of the publishing and bookselling world. Established publishing houses' catalogues reflect their particular interests and concerns, and these limitations frequently close the door on some books.
Self-publishing has resolutely moved from the margins and is certainly a major contributor to overall sales. Staging Post – The Stories We Tell exists for authors to publish their own work. Authors can make use of our skills and resources to edit, typeset and design their book and thereafter to convert it to the various electronic platforms and print. At Jacana Media we have a particular interest in making beautiful books, ones to which we can bring as much craft as possible, and we hope to be able to spread this design element to those who choose to go it alone.
Staging Post has been conceived with simplicity in mind. To get started, simply contact our Custom Publishing manager, Leigh-Ann Harris.

MSI front side bus

A Pentium 4 system is "quad pumped", meaning four bits of data are exchanged every clock cycle. In other words a 533mhz system operates at a Front Side Bus speed of 133mhz. This is what your FSB setting should be in your BIOS 133, any more and you're overclocking.

Posted 07 March 2004 - 07:30 PM
so if my fsb stays at 133mhz, what's the point of having 333mhz pc2700 RAM? how do i take advantage of the faster RAM?
- 0
Posted 08 March 2004 - 12:12 AM
Sorry, there's no benefit, unless you're overclocking, or potentially to use in a future system. Be sure you have your latencies set low.

Posted 09 March 2004 - 09:26 AM
so in my system, putting DDR333 RAM in place of the sd133 RAM has no benefit whatsoever? what's the point of using the faster RAM? is there a system that actually does use it?
- 0
Posted 09 March 2004 - 12:39 PM
Some AMD systems run at 166mhz FSB and require 333mhz RAM (PC2700). Faster memory often allows for lower latencies which will increase system performance, or some people overclock their front side bus to increase the CPU clock and memory bandwidth, which requires faster memory.

Statistics from the Ohio Department of Health show that the staggering rate at which people are dying from accidental drug overdoses isn't slowing down - at least not this year. Or last. That's because the latest data, released in March, reflect findings from 2010.
Statistics from the Ohio Department of Health show that the staggering rate at which people are dying from accidental drug overdoses isn�t slowing down � at least not this year. Or last.
That�s because the latest data, released in March, reflect findings from 2010.
According to public-health officials, the data lag � typically two years behind � isn�t unusual. Kentucky�s most-recent numbers on overdose deaths are from 2010, as well. West Virginia is reporting �preliminary� figures for the same year.
In fact, the lag is �necessary,� said Christy Beeghly, who runs the health department�s Violence and Injury Prevention Program, �so we can make sure our files are as accurate as they can possibly be.�
But the process for collecting, sorting and completing a year�s worth of Ohio�s unintentional overdose records is sluggish. Here�s how it works, according to data-analysis manager John Paulson:
County coroners typically are charged with investigating drug-overdose deaths. The coroner will file a death certificate and enter information about the cause of death into the state�s online Electronic Death Registration System. But often the coroner hasn�t yet determined the cause of death, said Paulson, so it�s given a �pending� status.
The coroner then has up to six months to resolve the case and file a supplemental death certificate.
The long timeline is part of the �methodical nature of death investigations,� which includes waiting for toxicology test results and autopsy reports, said David Corey, executive director of the Ohio State Coroners Association.
�They could take weeks to get done, because you want to be thorough. We�re interfacing with law-enforcement officials and the prosecuting attorney.� We need to coordinate all of that, and it does take some time.�
Throughout the year, all of Ohio�s death-certificate files are sent electronically to the National Center of Health Statistics at the Centers for Disease and Control Prevention in batches of 2,000 deaths at a time. At the CDC, the files are funneled through computer software that classifies each death with a standardized, alphanumeric �cause code.�
Two or three months later, the health department receives the codes, which Paulson and his staff use to build a database of Ohio�s mortality records. Other states also send data when Ohio residents die in those places.
Paulson said his office�s use of death certificates is a �crude way to track death trends,� because different coroners fill out the certificates with varying degrees of thoroughness. For example, some might not include the type of drug that caused the overdose.
Even with less-than-perfect data, Beeghly said they�ve managed to identify what health officials and lawmakers are calling an �epidemic� of drug abuse, driven by prescription painkillers. While more up-to-date data would be nice, she said she doesn�t think the health department�s slow statistics are keeping the state from addressing its pill problem.
�I�ve not considered the data lag to be a barrier in any way,� she said. �The only way I guess it becomes an issue is if you�re trying to measure the impact of our efforts. Then you have to wait a little longer.�

Community Service
"Compassion should be our animating principle when undertaking instruction with children and adults, since they are made in God's image."
- Catherine McAuley, Foundress, Sisters of Mercy
- Catherine McAuley, Foundress, Sisters of Mercy
Living Catherine McAuley's mission is central to the philosophy and beliefs of Notre Dame High School. It is in serving others that we grow in our own self identity and build up our community. At Notre Dame we encourage our high school students to volunteer at the local Food Bank and at Woodbrook, an assisted living residence in Elmira, during their school day. Students may sign up to serve both in the fall and spring semesters.
In collaboration with the Theology Department, it is required that all Junior and Senior Theology students engage in community service efforts. In doing this, it ensures that our students are taught the responsibility of reaching out and serving those in need. At Notre Dame, we strive to engage in efforts that support the very words and beliefs of Catherine McAuley: "The poor need help today, not next week." It is our hope that our students will leave Notre Dame with a commitment of life-long service.
Students in these courses are encouraged to choose a non-profit organization which could help them discern their future career. To learn more about community service efforts made in other areas of the school, please visit our Service Learning page.

Major League Baseball, as well as other sports organizations, has come under criticism over the years for scheduling postseason games late at night.
MLS deserves the same scrutiny.
For the third consecutive year, the league will stage the championship game on a Sunday night. TV coverage, which dictates the starting time, won't begin until 9 p.m. Eastern. Kickoff is set for 9:25 p.m. A match ending in regulation will conclude around 11:20. Extra time pushes it to almost midnight. If penalty kicks are required, the calendar flips to Monday in the East.
For the rest of my column…..
Such timetables are barely tolerable for the NFL, which attracts the largest U.S. sports audiences by a wide margin. Those times certainly shouldn't be accepted in MLS, a league that has grown by leaps and bounds over 16 seasons but is still struggling to win over casual sports fans, not to mention U.S.-based supporters of elite foreign leagues.
The late kickoff on a school night also deters younger fans, whom have grown up with MLS and are ripe for life-long commitment to clubs and the league as a whole.
From a TV standpoint, there's no perfect day or time for MLS. No one watches anything on Friday nights (see ratings for "Chuck" on NBC). Saturday afternoons and evenings are for college football. Sunday afternoons belong to the NFL. A Sunday evening match faces the fewest conflicts: an NFL game. (This weekend, the Philadelphia Eagles face the New York Giants.)
But competing programming shouldn't dictate MLS Cup's kickoff time. And for the first 14 years, it didn't: ABC carried the match on Sunday afternoon. The NFL stomped MLS in the ratings, but the NFL stomps everything. Those who really wanted to watch soccer didn't care what was on other outlets. And who knows, maybe NFL channel-surfers stumbled upon the match.
When coverage shifted to ESPN from ABC in 2009, the league and network decided to move the game into primetime. One could argue that Sunday night is a good slot: More people watch TV on Sunday evening than any other night of the week.
The problem for MLS is starting the game so late on a Sunday. Neither ABC nor any of the other three major networks would bump early-evening programming for an MLS game. (Maybe someday, folks.) So ESPN offers the best platform. This time of the year, however, the sports giant is committed to football: NFL highlights on "SportsCenter" from 7 to 8:15 p.m. and the college bowl countdown show (commence eye-rolling) from 8:15 until 9. ESPN then follows with 25 minutes of MLS pregame material.
NBC's contract with MLS begins next season, but ESPN/ABC will retain the rights to the title game. Besides, NBC carries a Sunday night NFL game.
The late starting time in Toronto last year contributed to poor match atmosphere and a TV eye-sore as neutral fans left early to escape cold weather. With MLS likely to drop the prearranged venue format as early as next year, that issue would fade.
All of this scrutiny comes from an East Coast perspective. Those in the Central (8:25 local kickoff), Mountain (7:25) and Pacific (6:25) time zones probably don't have any complaints. And this year, with clubs from the Central and Pacific in the final, fans with the most feverish interest are content.
But almost half of the U.S. population lives in the East, and by starting its biggest match so late, MLS is damaging an opportunity to grow its audience.

Last week, I maintained that a forced Microsoft breakup would be one of the biggest competitive threats facing SQL Server and that integrated browsing is necessary for transparent and seamless Internet access. This week, I discuss a breakup's potential unintended effects on server solutions—including SQL Server.
Few people have noted that the government's proposed breakup plan penalizes Microsoft's server technologies, including SQL Server, as the plan tries to fix supposed problems on the desktop. No one argues that Microsoft has monopoly market share in the server market. In fact, Microsoft's healthy presence in the server market has spurred UNIX vendors to create better products for less money. But a Microsoft breakup could create fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) in some corporations and give UNIX platforms an unfair federally mandated advantage and indirect stamp of approval.
In February, Microsoft shocked the database world by posting the world's fastest TPC-C numbers using SQL Server and Windows 2000—shattering the myth that Windows performance could never catch up with UNIX performance. Those results have forced intense competition and cost-cutting in the database market, which is good for consumers—whether or not they use SQL Server. And later this year, Win2K Datacenter Server will be available running SQL Server 2000 on 32-CPU "mainframe PCs" from Unisys, Compaq, and other companies. These machines will offer price-performance ratios never before seen in the database server market. This level of competition and consumer benefit is exactly what the government claims a Microsoft breakup will ensure. But can Microsoft continue to offer amazing price-performance breakthroughs in the server arena if the courts define innovation?
I'm disturbed that no one on either side of the debate is discussing the potential for devastating and unintended consequences in the world of enterprise-class database and server technologies. But the Microsoft antitrust trial isn't over. We can still affect the outcome. I believe that most people think the breakup attempt is a waste of taxpayer money and that, if successful, it will have unintended destructive consequences for innovation in technology and other arenas—for consumers and for the overall American economy. This is a call to action. Tell your elected officials how you feel.
If you're interested contacting your elected officials, visit the Web sites for the Association For Competitive Technology (ACT) and Americans for Technology Leadership. ACT works with companies; TechLeadership supports individuals. Both sites offer valuable resources to help you keep the reins of innovation in the hands of IT professionals and out of the hands of government.
Regardless which camp you're in, to learn more about Microsoft's position in the antitrust case, read the company's 39-page appeal. Click here. Amid standard legalese, you'll find some interesting material.

LV999 no Murabito manga summary: In this world, the concept of levels exist.Other than those who live off defeating monsters, most people are only around Level 1 to 5.What's more, not just anyone can go out to hunt monsters; it's heavily influenced by one's role appointed by God.There are eight such eligible roles. Warriors. Fighters. Clerics. Magicians. Rogues. Merchants. Hunters. Sorcerers.Those blessed with extraordinary power are divided into three types. Royalty. Heroes. Sages.But for the majority of the population, they have no such powers and live by farming or running shops. Towns are developed by those with the weakest role... Villagers.For the powerless Villagers going out to hunt monsters is equivalent to committing suicide.But one day, a certain two-year-old child given the role of Villager notices something.Once you defeat a monster... you can earn great wealth.
