After almost one year of bargaining and bickering, Syria and the European Union were able to initiate a partnership treaty - the US continues its sanctions policy. Bernd Riegert reports from Brussels
The talks had been stalled since last December because the Syrian government refused to accept a clause about non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. This paragraph in the association treaty was essential for Great Britain, Germany and Denmark.
"These were tough negotiations," said Chris Patten, EU Commissioner in charge of foreign relations. "And I'm not saying that the parties involved had been disrespectful of one another. I'm saying that the issues discussed had been complicated and difficult for both sides."
The Barcelona Process
Now, that the dispute is over, Syria will be invited as a full member into the club of twelve Mediterranean partner countries and organisations, which work together with the EU in the so-called Barcelona Process, named after the Spanish harbour city, where it was invented in 1995.
Syria will gain easier access to European markets and direct financial aid, which amounts to 80 million euro in the next two years.
In return the European Union expects speedier political and economic reforms in the authoritarian Arab republic.
Leading Syria out of political isolation
EU Commissioner Chris Patten sees the association agreement as a way to lead Syria out of its almost complete isolation.
This is not just a trade agreement," Patton said. "This is not only about breaking down trade barriers. We are working on the political issues and the development of a real dialogue - and in much more detail than ever before."
US scepticism
But the United States objects. In May President George W. Bush signed into law a couple of sanctions, which prevent American companies from doing business with Syria, except for the export of food and medicine.
Notably with the support of France, the former colonial power in Syria, the United States sponsored a second resolution in the Security Council of the United Nations on Syria within a few weeks.
The resolution, adopted this Tuesday, urges Syria to withdraw its 14,000 troops from neighbouring Lebanon.
Syria's ties to Hisbollah
UN-Secretary General Kofi Annan also told Syria to stop terrorists, namely the Hisbollah, who use Lebanon as a base to launch attacks on Israel.
The Syrian foreign secretary Faruk al Shara did not speak to reporters in Brussels, but Syrian diplomats denied any involvement of their country in any terrorist acts.
However, the US also holds Damascus accountable for extremists, who allegedly infiltrate into Iraq to kill US-soldiers.
The State Department is considering tightening US sanctions by freezing the foreign bank accounts of Syrian government officials.
More democracy by higher living standards
The European Union, on the other hand, hopes in the long run to improve the living standards of the fast growing population.
The unemployment rate in the state-run economy is high, growth is low. Next month the 25 foreign ministers of the European Union must decide whether to finally sign the initialled deal with Syria.

The Buckeye Brook Coalition will hold its 16th annual Earth Day Cleanup Saturday, April 20 from 9 a.m. to noon. The rain date is Sunday, April 21 from 1 to 4 p.m. if Saturday is a washout.
As has been the practice for years, volunteers are asked to gather at the Knights of Columbus Hall parking lot near the intersection of Sandy Lane and Warwick Avenue.
Registration starts at 8:45 a.m. on Saturday. Volunteers are divided into groups under the leadership of team captains, who will bring their groups to their locations throughout the watershed. Volunteers will be supplied with bags to retrieve litter.
Volunteers are asked to dress weather-appropriate and bring gloves, as the supplied gloves go quickly.
Certificates will be available upon request for volunteer hours. This can be an educational and rewarding experience.
"Come, learn and experience what the Buckeye Brook Coalition is all about. Help to care for Mother Earth and set an example for others to follow. This is an excellent opportunity to share your appreciation of our planet with your children. Come find the outdoors and help make a difference," said coalition president Paul Earnshaw, who can be reached at 739-6592 for additional information.
The cleanup is being done in collaboration with the city of Warwick and Mill Cove Conservancy.

Many excellent blog posts before have gone into the various ways in which an indie can get their product out there on the cheap, but I want to talk about going a little bit deeper, and tell how you can use gamer psychology to your advantage to do a lot of your marketing for you.
But before we go into that, the first thing that an indie developer really needs to do is to have their product displayed in as many places as possible. When starting work on Malevolence I started out with just a simple BlogSpot account and did all of my updates on there. Guess how many people cared? None. And why should they? How could they even FIND the blog unless they were told about it?
Take a search engine like Google. It has a "crawler" that goes around the web, finding pages, and finding all of the links on those pages. It analyzes where the links link to, and finds which pages have lots of links heading to them. If a page has hundreds of other pages linking to it, and lots of visitors, then it must be important, right? Well, to make your game more visible, you need to have lots of people visiting your page - a bit of a catch 22 - but you can help it by having a presence in many different places. Oh, and good news everyone... The Internet has many, many viable, justifiable places where you can put your game on show.
For Malevolence, the first big step after BlogSpot was to create a profile on IndieDB/ModDB (creating a profile on one creates one on other other, too). They get quite a lot of traffic on there, and it will actually rank your game against others (a library of about 6000 games) in terms of how much traffic you get. It also rewards your dedication to the public by putting you on the front page whenever you write up a new update post. Given the way it works, and the attention that it gets, it's very much worth taking the time to make your profile page attractive and thorough. That's where a bit of the psychology comes in. I have noticed that gamers who browse ModDB for new indie games are a little bit like channel surfers. They flick through profiles quickly - bam bam bam - until they find one that appeals to them very quickly, and then they'll stop and take a deeper look. So having lots of nice, bright screenshots, thorough videos and lots of clear, solid information about your game readily accessible for them will entice them to stay and take a proper look at your game.
Once you notice that you're getting more traffic, you can make a move towards putting links on your IndieDB/ModDB profile to other networks that you're operating on. Some examples of which include YouTube channels, Facebook Fan-pages, Twitter accounts, etc. Any and all are good. Just be sure to make the links subtle. Some nice clean icons, perhaps. Gamers, I have found, dislike feeling like they are being bombarded. Do some research, take some time, look at successful pages and the way they've done things. It pays off.
The social media avenue was the next step for me with Malevolence. It started with a YouTube channel where I would make a point to do screen-captures fairly regularly showing the progress of the game's development. Many people either don't enjoy or don't have the time to sit down and read lengthy blog posts (he says in a lengthy blog post) and a nice, quick video can get the whole point across much faster and with more of a sense of interaction. Even taking the time to narrate the video can easily double or triple the amount of information translated in the same time frame. Things to think about there.
After that came the Facebook and Twitter. I actually expected these to be the most active of the network avenues for promoting the game, but in the end they fell into roles of keeping CURRENT fans up to date, and didn't really do much to draw new fans. Though it seems obvious now, it took me a while to work out why this is. Most people on Facebook and Twitter these days use them on their smartphones, rather than their computer. While it IS possible to go browsing for new content via the smartphone interfaces, they are much more designed to just keep up with what their already follow. That's not to say that you can't still make use of these avenues though, as they offer quick and easy mini-update portals for you to address your current fan-base en-masse, and quickly spread links to any major blog updates you do elsewhere.
For the longest time, Steam was one of the holy grails of indie games "making it" and their new Greenlight process has taken that from some dark, incomprehensible process to something more tangible. As soon as it went live I create a profile for Malevolence on there thinking "wow, I might be in for a chance", and things went fairly well for a time, but then started petering off quick quickly. Valve kept altering and adjusting the vote process for getting games approved and it was quite drastically affecting my game's ability to get noticed on there. It's been quite frustrating until it got me thinking... How WOULD you make an unbiased system for gauging a game's popularity in the middle of a firmly established community of over 50 million users? The more I think about it, the more complex it becomes in my head. Sure, I have lots of problems with the way the Greenlight process works, however, since I can't come up with a better one myself, I'm happy to leave it up to them to sort out. I've had many heated discussions with fellow developers about how the system should work... Mainly about the apparent pointlessness of having a "no vote" button (which I'm sure will create some lovely 'discussions' in the comments) however, as I said, I'm happy to leave the process up to Valve, as they would certainly know best. Of all the networks I've gotten Malevolence onto, that's the only one that hasn't really gone anywhere yet. As the owner of it I can watch the percentage of votes go up and down, and I can't really make sense out of it, so I'll just keep doing what I'm doing and hope for the best. The only advice I could give to other indies attempting it would be to make sure that all of your avenues (Facebook, IndieDB, dev blogs, etc) point to your Greenlight so that you can funnel as much of your traffic into it as possible.
HOWEVER, all of that only depends on how badly you want to get onto Steam. I'm aware that some people don't. Some because they just don't like how Steam operates, others because they're making mobile games and it's kind of useless to them. I, personally, am trying to get on there, but that doesn't mean that everyone SHOULD.
But I digress. What about the psychology mentioned earlier? Well, that is where your marketing plan comes from. Just sticking your product on some blogs and social network sites isn't really a marketing plan. It's just a means to give your game a 'presence' on the Internet. A solid presence is a powerful thing, but it takes constant maintenance. It's not something you can set and forget until you have a large, strong, dedicated community to do it for you. As an indie, that's just not something that's likely to happen straight up, so it's something you're going to have to do yourself. KEEP your blogs updated. RELEASE lots of screenshots. RECORD lots of videos. ANSWER lots of questions, and above all, MAKE SURE that your community is reminded regularly that you are still working on your game, lest they lose interest.
But what about expanding your community? That's where your marketing plan comes into play. You've got your presence sorted out, you're maintaining it well, but how do you bring new people in? That, in itself, depends on many different things:
TARGET AUDIENCE: What is the target audience for your game? You can't just say "gamers" because not all gamers like tower defence games. Not all gamers like FPS games. Not all gamers like RPGs. And then, even within the types there are sub-types. In the RPG player genre there are gamers who like first person RPGs, but don't necessarily like isometric RPGs or turn-based RPGs. So it's a matter of specificity. Take the time to work out precisely what your target audience is with your game and market mainly towards them. There's not much use in wasting energy trying to talk to people who aren't interested in listening!
ANALYZE: Take the time to analyze the way your target audience acts. Do they talk amongst themselves? Do they operate vocal communities? Is theirs a community of sharing, or of bragging? As an overly abrupt stereotype, FPS gamers tend to have communities that are much more vocal and aggressive than communities of RPG games. I realise that's a massive generalization, and it is most certainly not ALWAYS the case, but if you look into how the communities of your target audience operate, you can use it to your advantage when creating your marketing plan.
ACT AND REACT: As an indie, much of what you learn, you will learn on the fly. If you make a marketing faux pas, you will learn about it pretty quickly. Try not to be too stubbourn about things. While it can be trying at times, an indie game without fans/players, is nothing. It's like owning a coffee shop that has no customers. Don't be too hard-headed to change the way you operate if it's something small and it keeps people happy. You need to be adaptive, you need to listen and you need to communicate.
So, with these things, you can create your marketing plan. As an example, my marketing plan for Malevolence was to make use of the RPG communities idiosyncrasies. I did my research, joining forums and following blogs, doing the whole Jane Goodall thing and "living with the apes" so to speak (not calling RPG players apes, by the way. Just using a metaphor) and I found that a common trait among them is that they are excited about indie RPG development and will quite often share links to interesting indie RPG projects that they find. BUT, at the same time, while there is a lot of link sharing going on, there isn't much response to it. Many RPG forums will have an entire section just for sharing indie RPGs that people have found. These sections are often filled with lots of posts with links, but the posts won't often have many responses. That doesn't mean that people don't follow the links, but it means that there is more excitement about sharing the links than there is about the games themselves. RPG fans seemed excited about the IDEA of new RPGs, which is cool.
I made a note of this and built my strategy around it. I planned to start my marketing push at the same time that Skyrim came out. Sounds crazy, right? Well, there was reason behind my madness. I started pushing the links to my various blogs, etc, on forums and other hubs while people were busy getting fussy over Skyrim. The community saw my links and shared them around, but, as expected, not much action happened other than the spreading of the links. Because of this, there ended up being many, many sites with references to this infinite indie RPG. As it spread, more people heard about it, but they didn't focus on it because... Hey... Skyrim... But that was precisely my plan.
The excitement over every game, no matter how groundbreaking the game was, eventually wears off, and once the attention for Skyrim had started to dim, I was in the position where links to my game were ALL OVER the Internet, and a vast portion of the RPG community had heard something about it. Even if they couldn't recognise it by name, when someone mentioned "Have you heard about Malevolence, that infinite indie RPG being made" more often than not they would be met with a reaction of "I think I heard something about that, yeah... Can't remember where though."
This is where the psychology of my marketing plan came in. Having another person bring it up makes them remember seeing it somewhere which inspires them to look for it again. They hit the search engines and start typing in the word "Malevolence" since they have no idea how to spell "Ahkranox" and, since I have made an effort to have a VERY strong web presence, they see this:
They barely have started typing the word Malevolence, and it shows up. Marketing plan complete. That being said, they may go to the site, look at it and hate it. I unfortunately can't help you with that. Marketing is one thing, but your product still needs to stand on its own. I was lucky enough to have this strategy work quite well for my game, but sometimes even the most well thought out strategy will fail. Not having a strategy at all, however, will pretty much guarantee that you'll fall short, so start early!
But that's where I'll leave off, I think. In conclusion, when marketing your game, you need to take the time to establish a web presence, develop a marketing plan based on research and analysis of your target audience and attention to detail when looking into the psychology of the way they act as a community. Stick with it. If you believe in your game strongly enough, you won't have too much difficulty in translating that to your viewership!

Mowing, winter service, maintenance and upkeep, cleaning, transport and loading jobs. Nowhere are the requirements for maintaining roads and grounds so diverse as in cities and municipal areas. Handling these tasks requires a large vehicle fleet with a full range of equipment – or a vehicle that specialises in a huge variety of jobs from the start: just like the Mercedes-Benz Unimog.
Greater driving and operating comfort than a truck, faster and more fuel-efficient than any tractor, and more customising options than any series-produced vehicle. Take advantage of a premium operating potential on a daily basis. One feature developed especially for the Unimog is VarioPilot® steering. Simply move the steering column from the left to the right-hand side of the cab. In this way you can accomplish numerous jobs in cost-effective one-person operation. Exchanging implements and mounting bodies is also completed in no time – thanks to the Unimog's quick-change system. And if you want to be even more efficient, the versatile equipment-carrying design enables you to carry out several operating processes in a single run. This means you can lower your costs and utilise the Unimog all year round.
Exceptional circumstances: dangerous situations such as floods, mudslides or extremely heavy snowfall. With the Unimog you can remain operational and offer assistance under even the most severe conditions. The Mercedes-Benz Unimog is irreplaceable.

VIDEO: Hey Streets, What's The Worst Company In America?
I hit the streets of New York with a video camera, asking taxi drivers, youths, store owners and chicks eating donuts, "What's the worst company in America?" Most people laughed and said, "Worst company?" — and then thought real hard and gave us some answers, answers which may shock you! This video has subtitles so you can watch it at work without anyone knowing.
For a town that doesn't even have one, New Yorkers sure hate Walmart.
Hey, if you like that video, how about posting a video response to it on YouTube? Sound off on who you think deserves to win Worst Company in America! This guy is stoked about the contest and wants to put Ticketmaster "on blast"!

Crop Top: Forever21
Jeans: Forever21
Shoes: Bamboo
Bag: H&M
Lipstick: MAC Creme Cup
Loving the colors in this top as well as the floral pattern. Crop tops are so much fun to wear on warmer days. They're really cute and have some sex appeal too. If you aren't super comfortable in them you can always wear something on top.
I'm wearing jeans that are a little bit darker than the pink on my shirt. I've worn these once before and noticed today that there is a darker spot on the left side. So weird because it's not a stain, but I guess it just gives them character :) Also wearing my mary jane platforms again.
I'm using this tiny white bag again. So happy that I bought this because it goes with everything. I'm loving this white bracelet that I recently picked up from Forever21 also. They have it in neon colors too!
Some silly pics
I hope that you all get to enjoy this lovely day!!

Welcome to Outcome 2012, are you game?
Game Descriptions
Pork Barrel:
When pigs fall from the sky, you must catch them in the barrel to stop the runaway spending. You begin with 3 lives, but you lose one life for every pig you don't catch. There are random pigs with points and extra lives. The next level is unlocked once you catch the required number of pigs for that level. To complete levels 1-2, you must catch 30 pigs. For levels 3-8, you must catch 50 pigs. Once you complete a level, the scores are sent to the website www.outcome2012.com where you can see the stats, keep track of your party, and see the top scorers!
Look out for the red tape, it clogs up the works! Sometimes the pork piles up and it's hard to stop. Also, look out for the political winds; you never know where it may blow the pork!
When you complete the game, keep playing to continue scoring points for your party. If you want to rack up some easy points, play the lower levels. For a challenge, start at a higher level!
Party Pop:
Balloons float from the bottom to the top of the screen. Pop the other parties' balloons before they reach the top, but don't pop yours! Each level starts with 3 lives. You lose lives by letting an opponent's balloon float away, or if you pop your own balloon. Level 1 starts with five balloons to pop. Five balloons are added each level. At level 10, you must pop 50 balloons. Bonus balloons, shaped as hearts have points and extra lives. The dart can be moved up and down and dart speed can be adjusted with the slide bar. Once you complete a level, the scores are sent to the website www.outcome2012.com where you can see the stats, keep track of your party, and see the top scorers!
The Balloons are:
Constitution Party – yellow balloon with an eagle.
Democrat Party - blue balloon with donkey.
Green Party – green balloon with a sunflower.
Independent voter – purple balloon with an American flag.
Republican Party – red balloon with an elephant.
None of the above – black balloon with a red X.
When you complete the game, keep playing to continue scoring points for your party. If you want to rack up some easy points, play the lower levels. For a challenge, start at a higher level!
Play and Vote!

Still, I guess there's no need to think too much about Himatsubushi-hen, since there won't be a Minagoroshi-hen anyway.

Hmm, i was just wondering..
Do you ever get to see the Akasaka's character design in the game at all? The main reason i ask is because in the fan book i've got, you don't see him.. its just a black shade around his character.

In the game inbetween every other cut-scene appears the TIPs.
These TIPs are information (support, or unsupported) that give you insight of certain elements in the story.
Many times they are written through a different person pt of view other than the main characters. They are there to help you solve the mystyery. It's up to you however to decided which TIPs are worth it's value.

anyhow, i had an actual question:
do the character designs vary much from the games to the manga to the anime?
or did they make it a point of keeping the designs constant?
(i guess i'm thinking in terms of other game to anime series where the characters looked quite different)
ALSO, more importantly:
Can someone post the titles of all the chapters with the RED part of the word displayed?... as in the series title "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni" or the chapter title "Tatarigoroshi-hen"
They do put a part of each chapter title in red, too... right? i'm not just making that up, am i?
is this relevant?

Intro Flowers?
I know I read this somewhere.. or maybe it was pointed out in the fansubs at some point in time.. but what are the flowers that are falling in the intro? I know they exists but I just can't think of their name...
Any input would be GREAT!

I can't find any on cdjapan or amazon.co.jp, or perhaps I am not looking in the right place.
Also, do these require Japanese Windows?

Himeyashop.com has lots of Dojin stuff, inclusive Higurashi, however their shipping prices are enourmous, so unless you're doing a bigger order its usually not completely worthwhile. Also: I've heard a horror story about one of their shipments but that may just be a one time thing and the mail's fault.
As for your question concerning japanese windows:
Depends entirely on your version of windows. With XP, 2000, NT and ME you can download language packs directly from windows update that inlude japanese text support. Then just set your system language to japanese before you start playing and all the text would show up fine.
Otherwise the game will run but you wont be ablr to see any text... kind of pointless to play higurashi without text tho..
I keep wanting to order but my japanese is essentially nonexistant.. so looking up every single word would be quite problematic. I would love to see the translation project go ahead, if they do it like the touhou translations and require ownership of the original, but provide a patch thatll work with that ^^

That particular vote was the 4th official Higurashi popularity vote held on the game's official site (07th Storming Party), and took place between March 28th - April 8th 2006.
Rena used to be on top, back during the 1st popularity vote. But by the time Tatarigoroshi-hen came out, the spotlight has shifted to Mion, Keiichi and Satoko. By the time Meakashi and Tsumihoroboshi-hen came out, Keiichi and Mion was pushed up to become the top two (to be fair, since Tsumihoroboshi-hen is Rena's story, she did manage to climb up from 4th in the 2nd pop. vote to 3rd in the 3rd pop. vote). In Minagoroshi-hen, everyone pretty much got an important role (especially Keiichi). In comparison, Rena sort of fell back to being a support character again, and so it was reflected in the 4th popularity vote.
Palet Mail has them for cheaper, but their order process is a little more complicated.
You don't need the JP version of windows, but you do need to have Japanese language support (downloadable from microsoft's site). You may also need to set your system language/region settings to Japanese.

*Is confused*
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai is what arc(s) exactly? Is it just the first answer arc?
On the same note, the game in the following link
Is just the first question arc, right?

The "question" chapters (Higurashi no Naku Koroni) are:
- Onikakushi-hen
- Watanagashi-hen
- Tatarigoroshi-hen
- Himatsubushi-hen
The "answer" chapters (Higurashi no Naku Koroni Kai) are:
- Meakashi-hen
- Tsumihoroboshi-hen
- Minagoroshi-hen
- Matsuribayashi-hen
Refer to kj's post here for the game's past releases and packagings:
Remember, the latest disk for each arc will always contain the latest chapter PLUS all previous chapters in the arc. The paletweb link you gave was for the Himatsubushi-hen disk, which contains all 4 question arc chapters.
The current latest "answer" chapter is Minagoroshi-hen (released on 12/30/05), which contains itself + Meakashi and Tsumihoroboshi-hen. The next and final chapter will be released at Comiket70 on August 13th. It will contain Matsuribayashi-hen, the concluding chapter of the game, as well as all the previous answer chapters.
I hope that's clear enough.

ah, well... all the Higurashi Chapter Titles follow this pattern:
(Kanji 1)(Kanji 2)(shi / し)
1) 鬼隠し Onikakushi
2) 綿流し Watanagashi
3) 祟殺し Tatarigoroshi
4) 暇潰し Himatsubushi
5) 目明し Meakashi
6) 罪滅し Tsumihoroboshi
7) 皆殺し Minagoroshi
8) 祭囃し Matsuribayashi
*) 鬼曝し Onisarashi (Kinda like a Tatarigoroshi followup)
*) 猫騙し Nekodamashi (I heard it's focused on the comedy - haven't read it)
*) 宵越し Yoigoshi (Takes place in present day Hinamizawa to replace Minagoroshi hen for its manga counter-part)
The first 8 are the Sound Novel Series. The * ones are extra chapters found in Manga format. Only the first 6 will be animated. So far the anime has always made the second kanji in red. Does it have any significance? Probably not as the Sound Novel does not follow this pattern. I also do not know what importance the red な in ひぐらしのなく頃に besides Ryukishi 07 stressing it is an integral part of the title.

This series is making me want to buy the question and answer chapters just incase I ever learn japanese or a translation patch is released. This game might be the reason I learn japanese... Though I'll definatly be spoiled for the last two chapters by the time I get to play them.

o 猫殺し Nekogoroshi
Nekogoroshi isn't really a manga, but a short story with illustrations. Half of it is indeed light-hearted comedy, but the second half features some serious contents too.

Councilor John R. Connolly amassed his fund-raising haul in the opening weeks of the Boston mayoral general election by corralling donors of failed preliminary race candidates, obtaining support from some of Mayor Thomas M. Menino's key allies, and seeking even more money from his reliable base of attorneys and developers, a Globe analysis of campaign financial records shows.
His strong showing during the first 15 days of October, when he raised more than $600,000, was seen as critical to help him compete with the outside labor spending that has buoyed the campaign of his opponent, state Representative Martin J. Walsh.
Walsh over the same period raised $210,000 — from a diverse set of donors including construction executives and firefighters — but has benefited from at least $1.5 million in spending on television ads and campaign mailers by groups not affiliated with his campaign.
The astounding amounts raised over little more than two weeks not only will help the candidates go to the airwaves to make their case before the Nov. 5 election, but can provide a level of insight into some of the support aligning behind each.
Almost all of the money raised by both campaigns in early October came from within the state. But both raised roughly half of the amount from outside the city of Boston, according to a Globe analysis of receipts filed with the state Office of Campaign and Political Finance. Within the city, the candidates drew from their traditional bases, with Connolly dominating in the western neighborhoods and Walsh in Dorchester and South Boston. Both candidates also drew significantly from Back Bay, Beacon Hill, and downtown.
While Walsh has won endorsements from several of the 10 candidates who lost the Sept. 24 preliminary, Connolly now appears to be receiving more money from their financial supporters: The city councilor received about 70 percent of the money donated by people who had previously given to one of the other candidates, the Globe found.
For example, donors who had previously given to City Councilor Mike Ross donated about $38,000 to Connolly and $8,000 to Walsh during the first two weeks of October. Donors who had previously backed Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley gave about $35,000 to Connolly, compared with $12,000 for Walsh.
Even donors to the candidates who endorsed Walsh — Felix G. Arroyo, John Barros, and Charlotte Golar Richie — have generally chosen instead to go with Connolly during the general election.
"It was kind of like there was a release valve after the primary," said Paul Scapicchio, a former city councilor and Connolly backer who co-hosted a fund-raiser for Connolly in early October.
Because of inconsistencies in how donors provide information in fund-raising records — as well as the hundreds of donors who do not list their occupations when they give money — it is impossible to break down exactly from where all of the money being funneled into the Walsh and Connolly campaigns is coming.
But records show that significant chunks of Connolly's war chest have come from those working in the legal, real estate development, and financial sectors who have contributed at least $700,000 to his campaign since January.
Much of Walsh's fund-raising has come from members of various workers unions, including police officers, firefighters, and laborers, who have given hundreds of thousands of dollars to his campaign.
"The amount of enthusiasm at the rank-and-file level is a clear indication of how much support Marty has from the working men and women in the city," said Jim Durkin, spokesman for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 93, the union that represents 2,000 city employees and has endorsed Walsh. "These members are not wealthy by any means, so the fact that many of them are giving tells you how passionately they feel about this race. When we endorse, it isn't just a press release. It's followed by action."
The 12-candidate preliminary caused many business leaders to hold back financial support until after the Sept. 24 vote narrowed the field to just two candidates.
While many prominent business leaders have still yet to support either Connolly or Walsh, others who had previously stayed out of the race chose to get off the sidelines after the preliminary vote.
In early October, Walsh's campaign received $500 checks from donors including Thomas Goemaat, chief executive of Shawmut Design and Construction; and Alan Leventhal, chief executive of Beacon Capital Partners.
Connolly took in checks from Herb Chambers, the luxury car mogul; Dave Goldberg, chief executive of Survey Monkey, a Web-based survey firm; Jack Manning, chief executive of Boston Capital; and Lawrence Fish, former chief executive of Citizens Financial Group.
In addition to many business leaders, there was another major figure who sat out the preliminary race: the man currently running City Hall.
Since the preliminary, much has been made about whether Menino would back either Connolly or Walsh, both of whom have had, at times, rocky relationships with the mayor.
In early October, Menino informed members of his political machine that they were free to join the campaign of either finalist, and he has repeatedly insisted that he will not endorse either.
Menino foot soldiers are now working for both campaigns, but much of the mayor's money machine was inherited by Connolly.
Records show that the hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations deposited by the Connolly campaign in the first weeks of October included checks from several prominent Menino allies, friends, and fund-raisers.
Perhaps most significant were $500 checks to Connolly written by David Passafaro, Menino's former chief of staff who has been one of the mayor's closest advisers for decades, and Robert F. Walsh, a former BRA director and friend of the mayor's for more than 30 years who has long been one of Menino's top fund-raisers.
Both men had given money to other mayoral candidates in the preliminary, with Passafaro giving a few hundred dollars each to Ross and Rob Consalvo while Robert Walsh gave money to Barros, Conley, and Consalvo.
Connolly also picked up the support of restaurant owner Vincent Marino, a relative of Menino's wife, Angela, and attorney Henry Kara, both of whom have been longtime fund-raisers and donors for Menino.
Even with the mammoth fund-raising push by Connolly so far in October, the city councilor is still at a monetary disadvantage when taking into account the third-party money spent on Walsh's behalf.
Special interest groups have two ways of spending money in elections: They can give limited donations directly to the campaign, and they can also file "independent expenditures" — money spent on behalf of the candidate but not handled by the campaign.
While individual donations to candidates are limited to $500, labor unions are allowed to give up to $15,000 directly to the campaigns.
Walsh has received almost $488,000 in direct donations from unions across the country and $1.5 million worth of canvassing, advertisements, and mailers that have been financed by labor unions through independent expenditures.
Connolly has not received any union checks so far this year, and to date has benefited from just $73,000 worth of independent expenditures, almost all of which came at the beginning of the preliminary race.
During the summer, after Stand for Children, an at-times controversial education nonprofit group, pledged to spend $500,000 for Connolly, the candidate swore off outside spending.
After the preliminary, he attempted to get Walsh to also disavow outside spending, but was unsuccessful.Stephanie Ebbert of the Globe staff contributed to this article. Wesley Lowery can be reached at email@example.com. Follow him on Twitter @WesleyLowery.

Mismatched Chairs for Family Dining
There are a lot of reasons to love this look: it says comfortable, fun, and you don't have to buy 6 of the really expensive chair you love. Maybe just one.
We think this is a great look for a family dinner table, not too stiff or formal, but depending on how mismatched you go- this look can still be elegant and striking as in these photos.

GOBAL WARMING!!! Oh no ....
February 04, 2007, 03:55:02 PM »
I for one think it's BS ... here's why (in short).
Hollyweird believes it, so it can't be true.
There is as much info to debunk Global warming as there is to support it, but the support gets more air play because it's more fun the scare people and other lemmings.
Al Gore invented it along with the internet.
All statements are laced with "if" and "could" and not "will"
When Krakatoa erupted in 1883 it released more green house gases in one day than man has since he first walked upright.
Climate experts are never in "consensus" and facts and figures are all over the board with their so call hard cold facts.
Man just doesn't have that much power over the planet.
Not enough data ... experts are going on about 100 years of data out of 5,000,000,000 years of history. That would be like going to the river getting a glass of water and saying "Well this is what the water is like all over the globe." yeah right.
The 1930's are the warmest decade in record. Remember the dust bowl?
China builds 3 coal fired power stations a year and 1, only 1 of them releases more green house gases than 1.3 billion SUV's ... here that Hollyweird. Quit griping at me and gripe at China.
They got a foot of snow in Texas this year.
It was 7 degrees last night at my home in the SOUTH ... that's not warming no matter how you slice it.
Nearly every METEOROLOGIST think it's garbage. What would they know, thay only make a living predicting the weather.
I could go on but you get the point.
Now if you disagree with me that is fine, don;t give me that core sample argument of long term weather history ... again a tiny little bubble of air from 2 miles down is not going to tell you squat about global conditions. It will tell you about that tiny little bubble of air and that's it.
History is riddled with doomdayers, and so far they ALL have been wrong.
The world would end in the year 1000 ... it didn't
Again in 2000 ... it didn't
Y2K? remember that scare and nothing happened!
Remember the Bird Flu where it was going to cross over and kill half of mankind last year ... did that happen or am I in a tiny little bubble too.
OK I'm done for the moments.

I just went outside a little while ago and it has to be in the 80's. It's HOT! But I'm in California and the weather here is usually in the 70 and 80's. We have our weird share of weather now and then but this has been going on for years, some years worse than others. When the years come with the unusual weather they talk more about global warming. I think they run out of ideas on how to scare the s#%t out of us so they bring up the global warming. According to all these science channels and history channels, volcanoes, meteors, earthquakes, and even the sun that is going to blow up, will beat the global warming. So there I've said it, but I'm not a genius by far.

Yes, the earth is going through a warm up phase. My uncle has done tree ring from Canada, Mongolia, Siberia and Arch Angel; definitely the trees are growing quicker these days than they have for the last 500 years.
The question really should be what is causing the warming. There is increased sunspots these days which means greater solar output and thus more energy reaching earth. Also, our magnetic field is decreasing (and we are long overdue, IIRC, for a magnetic pole flip) thus allowing even more solar (and other types of energies from space) energy to reach us. Plus, the earth's climate has always been dynamic, i.e., inherently unstable and changing. Various climate changes have also occured rapidly, over the course of a century. What's happening today is no different.
Now, I don't have a problem with trying to be more energy efficient, as it should make things cheaper; not to mention the world having to rely less on mideast oil -- and stop funding violent & repressive regimes.

I really don't know the facts and figures behind these findings, but I can tell you that it is getting hotter here every year, and we are getting drier and drier.
About 10 or so years ago it would always rain in winter right when I left school. Now we're lucky to get more than a solid two days of rain in, even in winter.
I'm sure there's a lot of validity to these arguments about Global Warming, but it's a dicey situation because it's not a sure thing, and I really don't see how you can ever be sure in this situation. There's just too many variables to deal with, but I personally think its worth paying attention to: Its better we be wrong about it being a big deal rather than ignoring a potential problem. That and it would be nice to have cleaner air etc etc, even if that doesn't affect weather patterns.

I do think something is going on with the climate, what I find questionable is mankind's contribution. The Earth goes through natural cycles.
Are we contributing? Probably to some degree. Are we the cause? This is doubtful, but if we can lessen the impact we should find out how and do it.

I recently read about somekind of sample someone took from the ice in Antarctica. The ice sample showed them that over the past like 200 years or something like that the ice has melted several inches and refrozen something like 5 times. Which shows that there is a cycle to this. The planet goes through a warm phase then it will go through a cool phase. It always balences out.

Like I've said Al "Mr Internet" Gore and his band of chicken Little's are going on very selective and limited data. Most of them just follow suit and due no critical thinking of their own. Al said it, it's got to be true. Not just him, but many that lead these battle cry and their little Indians that follow.
Should we take care of the planet? Yes 100% YES!
Should we recycle? Again yes.
Should we find cleaner energy? Abso-freakin'-lutely
We need to be good stewards of the earth but we do not need these hyped up scare stories of doomsday is just around the bend.
You can be responsable keeper of the planet without being a loon!

Well said, Cheeze. I don't usually like to post "me too" type posts, but that absolutely deserves a "here here."
The current environmental movement has set up a false dichotomy - jump on all the bandwagons or be AGAINST clean air/water/etc; agree with us on EVERYTHING, or believe the earth should be reduced to a skinking pile of chemical goo.
FWIW, I know a LOT of political conservatives that are good at conservation. They practice it and live it. They don't just talk about it at rallies.

I've lived in California all my life, except for a couple of years in Idaho, and I can see the mountains more often now. Maybe 15 days out of the year you can't see them,(because of smog) it's usually during the summer when it's 90 and above. 10 years ago if you came here from out of town you wouldn't even know there were mountains there unless you drove right up to them. So I think all of us pitching in to help the environment is helping. Why don't they tell us when we're doing something right instead of telling us only the wrong doing? They sound like bad parents to me....okay I'm done...I feel better now..

The big issue is not whether the globe is warming, but whether it's a natural warming phase or a man-made phenomenon (because, although man is merely a random offshoot of animal evolution, he is outside of nature and anything he does is, by nature, evil in regards to the rest of the planet, although there is no such thing as evil or good because, well, they are man-made constructs and therefore meaningless unless applied to white males, who all should be eradicated because they are obviously hopelessly evil. Except for Al Gore and Al Franken, and maybe Al Einstein, but he's iffy). The "philosophy" of global warming is such a mishmash of hypocritical hogwash that, even if I was shown empirical evidence of mankind's role in climate change, I'd be looking for flaws because I simply can't trust the "climate scientists" that are making the claims. And yes, I know that was a hugely confusing parenthetical statement.
In a Weather Channel
, Heidi Cullen says that any meteorologist who doesn't believe that global warming is mainly a man-made phenomenon should be decertified by the American Meteorological Society. Questioning the "science" should apparently be rewarded with loss of credibility and possible loss of livelihood. And when criticized mercilessly for her stance, mainly with cries that her stance amounts to censoring debate on the matter, she at this point still refuses to back down, although she claims she wants a free discussion (apparently "free" of dissenting evidence or opinions). And now "climate scientists" worldwide (our motto: "You can trust us. We're scientists. We do science.") are claiming that it is a foregone conclusion that man is causing climatic instability. As others have stated, it is indeed our duty to act responsibly in regards to our environment (as one comedian put it, "even a dog knows not to go where it drinks"), but I have yet to hear an unbiased debate on the matter. Is that asking too much? Apparently.

The problem with this type of subject is that no one who has a reasonable or rational opinion, or reasonable and logical arguments for or against this theory, and that's what it is, gets any media coverage, only the extremists do because that sells papers and gets ratings. Thats why we now have a whole lot of people on both sides of this and all the other"buzz word" topics who have formed their ideas and opinions based on exaggerations and propaganda.
I blame the mainstream media for this, I believe that thanks to network news shows most people now get their current events "facts" in thirty second sound bites, and those only cover the most ratings worthy portions of the story, as an example of this whenever ratings week comes to the Greater Los Angeles area all the news programs run segments about sex crimes, the wild antics of celebrities, Victoria's secret models, NFL cheer leaders and so on, not that this stuff isn't news, but why is there always so much of it at ratings time.
If you watch the science channels on cable, and you have to watch a number of shows as they cover one side to the other, you'll see that the jury is still out on this one and that now a lot of scientists are thinking global warming may trigger another ice age, but they're not sure. One thing they do say is that if this were to happen it would take fifteen to fifty years(depends on who is speaking) for it to happen and that we would know about it as it progresses, not going to happen in a couple days as in The Day After Tomorrow. What is needed here is some calm and objective investigation, not hysteria.

The other thing you have to factor into this is that right now, Climate Change (the more "appropriate" term) is now academia's research cash cow. You are almost guaranteed funding if your proposal covers studying Climate Change, its effects or "how long we got." In the early 90's, when I was in grad school doing academic research, it was the Ozone Hole. There's always some catastrophe to avert, and "we scientists are the ones to fix it!!"
In other words, there is a financial incentive for a lot of these guys to be saying what they are saying. Doom and gloom not only sells, it pays, too.

Let us not forget Acid Rain, El Nino, Dutch Elm Disease, Polar Shift, Deforestation, Ground Water Depletion and I'm sure somebody somewhere is trying to find a way to blame tectonic plate shift on our sinful living.

Huawei are looking to capitalise in Russia with its Ascend W1 Windows Phone. The handset is expected to be available in February 2013 and will be aggressively priced to tackle Nokia's entry into the market. The company is taking the platform seriously and is looking to release new hardware in multiple markets.
As noted above, the Ascend will be priced accordingly. 11.990 rubles ($400), which puts it alongside the Lumia 620. Not as cheap as the pricing reported in China, but for $400, we'll take any Windows Phone 8 handset. Comparing both the Ascend W1 and Lumia 620 together, one can note how the Ascend W1 sports a larger battery (2000mAh), faster chip (dual-core 1.2GHz), larger display (4") and a front-facing shooter.
So which one are you?

Lipscomb vs. ETSU Game Notes
Download Free Acrobat Reader
DELAND, Fla. _ It will be "Breakfast at Stetson" for the Lipscomb Lady Bisons in the opening game of the Atlantic Sun Conference Softball Tournament.
Dew will still be on the grass at Patricia Wilson Field Thursday when the No. 4-seeded Lady Bisons (25-26-1, 9-8-1) face No. 3-seeded ETSU (25-27, 10-8) at 8 a.m. CDT.
"It's a tougher situation playing so early in the morning, but we have already made that point to our players," Lady Bisons coach Kristin Peck said. "We will get them up and going. Not being a morning team is not going to be an excuse.
"It doesn't change our routine. It's just a different time. We have to make sure they get plenty of sleep the night before."
Patricia Wilson Field is a familiar and friendly venue for the Lady Bisons. They finished 5-2 here this season, splitting an A-Sun doubleheader with Stetson March 21. The team stayed in DeLand and played in the Stetson Invitational March 23-25, finishing 4-1 in the tournament with two wins over Princeton and one each over Kent State and Stetson. The only loss was to Cornell.
"That puts us in a good situation," Peck said. "We are familiar with the field. We have played quite a few games here this year and we played well. This is a place where our players feel very comfortable."
Five of the Lady Bisons are from Florida: first baseman Heather Collins, third baseman Kellie Sirus, second baseman Kristie Sirus, outfielder-catcher Niki Bails and utility player Katie Haab.
"There are a lot of Florida kids on the team and their parents plan to be here," Peck said. "We have a lot of parents flying in. We will have plenty of support. It is a good situation for us."
The Lady Bisons, making their second appearance in the tournament in the last three years, also have an extra incentive. They played their two worst games of the season at ETSU, losing 12-0 and 13-1 in snowy conditions in Johnson City.
"We are pretty fired up about playing ETSU again," Peck said. "I started a pep talk the other day and one of my captains cut me off. She said, `Coach, I don't think you have to say anything else. We are pretty much fired up. That's good to hear.
"Knowing that we have played well on this field, and knowing that we didn't play well against ETSU the first time, I think we are fired up. I think we do have more incentive there than we would against any other team."
Freshman pitcher Christen Campbell has also been a rallying point for the Lady Bisons. Campbell was not selected to any of the A-Sun postseason teams and the team wants to help showcase her talents in the tournament.
"Christen has an added incentive," Peck said. "She didn't throw well against ETSU the last time. ETSU is one of the two teams she didn't beat in the conference in the regular season.
"Christen didn't get named to a postseason team and that is an added incentive for our team. They know that she is one of the best players, if not the best player, on the team."
The Lady Bisons have broken a number of school offensive records this season with 51 home runs as a team and 14 home runs each by Heather Collins and Abby Keese. That type of power, combined with six starters batting more than .300 gives the Lady Bisons the ability to strike at any time.
"It is huge to know that we at any moment in time can have one big inning," Peck said. "Hitting is kind of a contagious thing for us as it is with a lot of teams. All it takes is for us to get one or two hitters on in the right situation. We are very capable one through nine of making things happen.
"You never want to get down in a tournament. But we know we can bounce back. We have done that time and time again. And we have pretty good defense and solid pitching with Campbell to back it up."
Win or lose the Lady Bisons will play later in the day in the double-elimination tournament which continues through Saturday.
