ANDY LITTLE fears his Rangers career could be over at the end of the season as a result of the club's financial problems.
The striker has seen much of his time at Ibrox blighted by injury but, now fully fit, has impressed in the period since the Glasgow giants were plunged into administration.
He has featured in six of the seven games since Duff and Phelps took control of the club's affairs on February 14 and scored on three of those appearances.
The Northern Irishman is out of contract in the summer and hopes he can impress enough to extend his stay in Govan but is well aware his efforts could be in vain if Rangers are unable to offer him a new deal.
Little told RangersTV: "If the club is in a position where it is out of administration and able to offer me a contract then great, but I'm also aware that might not be the case.
"I might have to move on and there were definitely times in the past when I was injured that I thought I had maybe played my last game for Rangers.
"Having got the chance now to play it would be a real shame for me to have to leave given the circumstances of the club and not down to how I'd performed.
"I feel I've done well enough to be offered a new contract and to stay and if the club isn't able to do that, it would be a shame but that's unfortunately the position that we're in.
"It would be massive to leave because it's been probably the best spell I've ever had for the club after making my debut nearly three years ago.
"It would be a real shame if I had to leave just as I was hitting my best spell because of other circumstances, but it's something I'm aware of.
"To step in to the first team and not let myself down has been great.
"I know I can play at that level and I've really enjoyed it so I hope it's not my last games, I hope I have many more games for Rangers."
Little says the way fans have rallied behind the club during a turbulent period has only strengthened his desire to remain at Rangers.
He added: "The mutual respect that the fans and the players have had has been great and has surprised even me.
"The way they have reacted since we went in to administration has been brilliant and we're thankful to the fans that they have supported us so well.
"So clearly it's a club that I want to stay at and one that is brilliant for that reason."

Holly Hayes, owner of Holly's Country Cooking, says its her customers who have got her to this point, and her customers that keep her enjoying what she does.
For the tenth straight year, the popular lunch destination for all Faulkner County residents was named Best Home Cooking.
Hayes said she hopes county residents enjoy her restaurant for its good food, fair price and friendly service.
"One of the college kids asked me the other day, 'Are you related to somebody or know everybody? Do you have a lot of friends here?'" Hayes recalled. "I said, 'No, we've just been here for 15 years.'"
Holly's Country Cooking began in October 1999 after Hayes' great aunt, Bobbi, sold her restaurant, Bobbi's Country Cooking, in Little Rock, and encouraged Hayes, then a teacher's aid and bus driver in the Perryville School District, to open up a similar eatery in Conway.
Over the years, Holly's Country Cooking has established a foundation in the community as customers can be seen daily, lining up outside the doors of the restaurant, located at 120 Harkrider St., before service begins at 11 a.m.
"We've made a lot of friends," Hayes said. "We have a lot of regulars, and it's nice when you know everybody by name and recognize their faces."
The restaurant offers southern, home made favorites that keep patrons coming back, again and again.
"We just want to thank everybody," Hayes said.
"We really feel honored to have been so successful here."
Customers can find chicken fried steak and fried chicken on the menu each day, along with these daily specials as follows:
Monday- Roast beef and three-cheese chicken casserole.
Tuesday- Mexican chicken and smothered hamburger steak.
Wednesday- Chicken & dressing and lasagna.
Thursday- Chicken & dumplings and meatloaf.
Friday- Fish & shrimp and mexican beef.

Custom OEM Remote Control Features and Options- main features page
|The exterior portion of the remote control can be modified in a varity of ways. Typically, color and texture are the most common ways to modify a remote control enclosure when using an off the shelf (pre-existing) mold. These enclosure modifications make the remote unique for your specific application.
The remote control case and enclosure color can be changed to match your design requirements. Typically, the standard remote control enclosure color is black, both for low volume purchases or, higher volume purchases with no additional costs. We can use a standard color for the enclosure, or match your Pantone color requirements.
Color pigments can either be mixed with the plastic, or, applied to the outer case similar to spray painting.
Additional color modifications such as adding metalic paint flecks can be used as well.
Case/Enclosure Color Examples
Several processes are available to add texture to the remote control enclosure surface; Hot Stamping and Soft Touch.
Hot stamping
is a dry printing process. In hot stamping, a metallic or color pigment
is transferred from a roll of foil to the surface of the remote control
by way of heat and pressure. A metal or silicone rubber die, heated to
a range of 150 to 200°C (302-392 F) presses onto the plastic object
through a colored foil. The heat and pressure releases the foil to the
surface of the remote to form a permanent bond with the remote control enclosure.
Hot Stamp Texture Example
Soft Touch adds a velvet, silk or rubber feel to the enclosure. Soft touch is a special textured spray paint applied to the exterior of the remote control prior to assembly. Many colors, as well as clear, are available. Soft touch improves the durability of the surface of the remote control as it is both scratch and mar resistant.
|Please contact us to inquire about pricing and availability for our remote control products or call our sales and applications engineering staff at (415) 472-1177 x201.

Friday, 9:00 am 11.2.2012 Superstorm Electricity Outage UPDATE
Cleveland Public Power
CPP estimates that less than 500 CPP customers are without power at this time.
If you are still without power please call 216-664-3156.
As of 10:00 pm last night CPP crews cleared up all known locations of wires down and had restored service to all known pockets of outage areas on the east side of Cleveland. Damaged mainline wires across the City are being cut, removed and replaced. The west side saw significant downed trees and branches that impacted feeders, mainlines, transformers, cross arms, single service lines down and other ancillary equipment.
Major areas with mainlines and feeders cleared in the last 12-hours include: East 149 and St. Clair; East 127 and Lancelot; East 55th and East 66th; Stickney & Galaxy Avenue area. There still may be instances of individual outages or new wire down locations that were identified from CPP's overnight survey of locations with wires down. These are all individual locations being addressed today.
A double shift of Trouble crews worked overnight. Mainline wires were installed at three locations on the west side. Service was restored to St. Patrick's Church on Bridge and cleveland Animal Protective League. The Trouble crews cut mainlines in the clear in 15 locations on the west side based on info received from visits to 144 "wire down" locations. There were 18 verified locations where mainlines will need to be put up (beyond the 15 that were cut in the clear last night).. About a dozen poles still need to be installed as part of the service restoration process.
Once repairs are completed to the overall CPP infrastructure, efforts will turn to individual locations of service disruptions, where problems like wires down to individual houses or fuses blown on individual pole mounted transformers are causing customers to still be without electricity. The exact number of those locations is unknown and will be primarily driven by outage calls from customers in areas where our primary distribution infrastructure has been repaired.
FirstEnergy (for outages cal 888-544-4877)
There are approximately 17,500 FirstEnergy customers remaining without power in the City of Cleveland. There are estimates of 58,500 homes in Cuyahoga County that are still without power; 1,770 without power in Lorain County, and 3,700 in Lake County.
Workers restored electricity to about 47,000 customers in a 24-hour period that ended mid-afternoon Thursday.

I don't want to be rude or pessimist, but don't you think the arrests were part of a plan – conspiracy,
if you like - to safeguard the Pope from his oppositions or from facing harsh
criticism on such issues as child abuse? Maybe, a kind of counterattack on Richard
Dawkins' and Christopher Hitchens' calls for the arrest
of the Pope?
Any comments on this?

Here's a scavenger hunt for you: The next time you visit Beloit, see if you can find the two most important ducks in town.
Hint: They're not in the Rock River. Without them, there might not be any ducks in the Rock River.
They were penned by Jay Norwood Darling (1900), an unlikely and yet completely Beloitish hero of the American conservation movement. The son of a minister, he loved music, drew for fun, and wanted to be a doctor. He would grow up to be expelled from two schools (including Beloit), win a slew of awards (two Pulitzer Prizes among them), befriend Presidents (including both Roosevelts), make Presidents angry (just one Roosevelt), and change the way the country manages its natural wealth.
And did I mention he would save the ducks?
Darling was born in Norwood, Mich., a small town on Grand Traverse Bay, in 1876. When he was 10, the Darling family moved to Sioux City, Iowa, a frontier town just across the Missouri River from South Dakota.
Life on the edge of the wilderness was formative for Darling, wrote David Lendt in his definitive biography, Ding: The Life of Jay Norwood Darling.
"Jay Darling thrived in the spacious fields of high grass through which he and his brother Frank roamed, whether afoot or astride their spirited Indian ponies," he wrote. "He spent many summer nights on the prairie or along the banks of the Missouri River or the Big Sioux River, listening to the voice of the puma."
Jay Darling came to Beloit in 1895. It was his second college try—the previous year, he'd been expelled from Yankton College in South Dakota for taking a joyride in the president's horse and buggy.
At Beloit, Darling epitomized the ultra-engaged, overcommitted, widely curious Beloiter. Below his 1898 junior class portrait, he listed among his activities: leader of Glee Club, manager of the track team, managing editor of the college newspaper, art editor of the Codex, member of Beta Theta Pi and bass singer in the college's male quartet. He also wrote that he "flunked all my studies except biology."
In the pages of the 1899 Codex, the yearbook, Darling—who had begun to sign his sketches "Ding," a contraction of his last name—flaunted his disregard for Victorian-era decorum.
He drew a program for a fictional faculty vaudeville show that lampooned the esteemed professors who had for years been frowning at Darling to get in line. Later in his life, Darling would claim that his lousy grades, not the drawings, were to blame. But the irreverent illustrations couldn't have helped when Beloit's faculty voted in June 1898 to expel him for a year.
More than 20 years later, after his cartoons had brought him critical accolades and national fame, the Codex scandal was both the stuff of legend and still a little humiliating for Ding.
"My college career has always been a thing upon which I rather dreaded to look back, owing to the rough spots," Darling wrote in a letter to Beloit's vice president in 1925. "The indication that I may have redeemed myself in after years in the eyes of my old Alma Mater is a thing greatly to be coveted."
During his expulsion from Beloit, Darling retreated to Sioux City, where he briefly worked for the Sioux City Journal. After his deferred graduation in 1900, he went back to the Journal to work as a cub reporter.
He didn't aim to be a journalist; he was just trying to save money for medical school.
But a fateful assignment changed his course: Darling, covering a trial, tried to sneak a photograph of an irascible attorney. When the attorney caught him in the act, he yelped, jumped over a chair, and chased the young reporter from the courtroom, swinging his cane. Darling outran him, hustled back to the newsroom, and dug through his notebooks for a sketch he had made of the attorney. It ran with Darling's article in place of the thwarted photo.
People loved it—so much that Darling began sketching "local snapshots" of familiar Sioux City faces. These, and an illustrated series of "Interviews that Never Happened," made him known (and a little notorious) in Sioux City. In 1906, after he was fired for an offending sketch of a local doctor, Darling went to the Des Moines Register, where he would work, with only a brief interruption, for the rest of his career.
A syndication agreement with the Herald Tribune in 1916 brought his cartoons to 130 newspapers across the country and to thousands of readers who looked forward to spending their mornings with Ding Darling.
There was something Theodore Rooseveltian about Ding Darling, with his abundance of energy, his grit, and his connection to nature, both sportsmanlike and almost spiritual.
Darling admired Roosevelt and aligned himself politically with Roosevelt's independent, progressive Republican ideas. Government non-interference in private enterprise, concerns over inflation and debt, frustration with bureaucracy, wariness of welfare programs, contempt for socialism, and strong stands of military might at home and abroad were recurring themes throughout his editorial career.
His conservation cartoons were way ahead of their time. Whimsically exasperated or matter-of-factly grim, they warned of deforestation, dwindling food and fresh water supplies, soil erosion and degradation, crippling dependence on fossil fuel, and wildlife extinction—and pushed against private and political special interests to promote the greatest (and most scientific) good for the ecosystem.
In 1931, Darling contributed a few thousand dollars of his own money to help establish the Iowa Fish and Game Commission, which sought to disentangle wildlife management from the caprices of state politics (and indirectly, the state's agricultural interests) and create a nonpartisan organization for conservation. Darling was elected the commission's first chairman.
A landmark achievement of Darling's work in Iowa—and a legacy of his commitment to education—was the creation of Cooperative Research Units, which brought together nine land-grant colleges, their state conservation departments, and the Wildlife Management Institute. They provided an urgently needed pipeline of educated conservation scientists for careers in the emerging field of wildlife management and research.
The Research Units still give graduate students applied research opportunities in wildlife management and boost the research capacity of wildlife management organizations. Today, there are 40 Cooperative Research Units in 38 states.
By the time the Research Units were founded, Darling was already a household name, but his conservation efforts in Iowa brought him national prominence as an activist and thinker, and pulled him into the orbit of another Roosevelt, one whose policies he had spent years inking screeds against.
By the 1930s, waterfowl populations in the United States were in dramatic decline, due to under-regulation, over-hunting, agricultural practices that degraded natural habitats, and the effects of the Dust Bowl, which evaporated delicate ecosystems across the Great Plains.
In 1934, President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed Darling chief of the newly formed Bureau of Biological Survey. Darling only led the bureau for 20 months, but his impact on the organization that would become the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service was profound. He squeezed regulations tighter than they'd ever been and expanded the government's ability to police game hunters and enforce federal protection laws. He put a young Midwesterner, John Clark Salyer II, in charge of the National Wildlife Refuge System. Together they planned a comprehensive and intentional refuge system, charted along migratory flyways. Salyer, the "father of the refuge system," would increase refuge land from 1.5 million to 29 million acres in his career.
But Darling's most celebrated achievement at the bureau was, without a doubt, the Duck Stamp.
Roosevelt had signed the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act days after Darling's appointment. The stamp, essentially a hunting license, provided a permanent, perpetual source of funding for protection of migratory waterfowl and their habitats.
Darling had to use his grit to get things going. The stamp program wasn't funded, and Roosevelt ignored Darling's repeated requests for money, sometimes writing him cheeky IOUs. So Darling found an ally in Congress, Senator Peter Norbeck, who introduced a $6 million appropriation to a bill for the Biological Survey. In addition to funding land aquisition and wildlife protection, it contained a clause for the duck stamp program. The appropriation passed.
Fortuitously, the bill landed on Roosevelt's desk when he was about to leave for a fishing trip. Oblivious to the $6 million appropriation, and apparently eager to go on vacation, he signed it.
In a letter, Roosevelt wrote: "This fellow Darling is the only man in history who got an appropriation through Congress, past the Budget and signed by the President without anybody realizing that the Treasury had been raided."
Since 1934, the Duck Stamp program has raised more than $750 million and helped to purchase more than 6 million acres of wetlands habitat for the National Wildlife Refuge System. The very first Duck Stamp was designed, of course, by America's most famous bird lover cartoonist: Ding Darling.
His federal conservation work gave him a birds-eye view of the dedicated but disparate conservation work happening across the country. Darling wanted to bring together small, focused groups—4-H chapters and the Girl Scouts, big game hunters and gun clubs, birders and foresters—to learn from each other, and to advocate together. What would become the National Wildlife Federation was founded in 1936.
"Long before the word 'interdisciplinary' became jargon in formal education, Darling saw the wisdom of folding ecological education into a variety of disciplines, tying them together with an interrelated thread," wrote David Lendt. "It was just such an approach to biology that had kindled his interest in his days at Beloit College."
How Darling did what he did in less than 200 years is a marvel. Among the major landmarks not mentioned previously in this article are Sanibel and Captiva Islands in Southwest Florida, which Darling fought to protect from environmental degradation and over-development. Today, on Sanibel, the mangrove forests of the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge are vibrant with pelicans, ospreys, roseate spoonbills, ibises, egrets, and more than 200 other bird species.
Darling's legacy has continued to evolve and grow since his death in 1962 at the age of 85. His allies, friends, and family founded the J.N. "Ding" Darling Foundation to advance Darling's leadership in conservation education. Every year, the Beloit College biology department selects a sophomore or junior to receive the J.N. "Ding" Darling Award for proficiency and promise in conservation—an award established in 1981 by the Ding Darling Foundation.
Today, Beloit College students can major in environmental studies, an interdisciplinary program that brings together economics, politics, and the natural and social sciences. Or, they can become Sustainability Fellows through an eight-week summer program that provides applied learning and research opportunities in the community. Although sustainability is a relatively new approach to conservation, it's compatible with Darling's vision of environmental protection—holistic, scientific, and informed by understanding and respect for the systems that support every living thing on Earth.
(Spoiler alert: Stop reading if you want to solve the scavenger hunt on your own.)
So it's fitting that today's biology students at Beloit—none of whom, hopefully, are flunking every other class—are greeted on their walk to class in the Center for the Sciences by an engraving of two ducks cruising into a grassy marsh. That's a framed and signed print of the original engraving (above), by Ding Darling, of the first Federal Duck Stamp—the drawing that saved the ducks.
- Watch for America's Darling on your local PBS station in 2013. The documentary film about Ding Darling by Marvo Entertainment draws some of its sources from Beloit College Archives. Filmmaker Sam Koltinsky was in Beloit in February when the documentary screened at the Beloit International Film Festival.
- Over the past several years, Beloit College Archives has made its holdings of Darling's sketches, cartoons, and correspondence available through the Beloit College Digital Collections. See www.beloit.edu/bcdc/darling.

Shaw blast: Residents' long wait to return home
Residents of a street destroyed by a gas blast that killed a toddler have said they are frustrated about not being able to return home.
Two-year-old Jamie Heaton died when houses collapsed on Buckley Street, Shaw, Greater Manchester, on 26 June.
Neighbour Andrew Partington, 27, admitted causing the blast at Manchester Crown Court last month.
Eight homes were demolished and 17 more need repairs, which could take years according to Oldham Council planners.
The home Jackie Hunter lived in for 23 years remains in exactly the same state she left it when the explosion happened, down to the dishes in the kitchen sink.
'Frightened and devastated'
Ms Hunter has been able to revisit the house but, six months on, she says she does not know when she will be able to move back in.
"It's really bad, it's dangerous," she said. "I had hoped I would be back in the house for Christmas. I feel frightened and devastated."
Janet Ferreira and mother Norah Pearson have been able to get into their house to pick up some photographs, but Mrs Pearson said: "We don't seem to be getting anywhere with anything.
"It will be after Christmas [that we can move back home] because they've not started yet.
"All the houses in the explosion are being fumigated one by one."
The street remains gated off, with most homes on one side demolished and those on the other side sealed off behind protective boards and 24-hour security teams in place.
Experts say that although it may be frustrating for other residents who have to live next to a building site, rebuilding is a more complex issue than they might think.
'Return to normality'
Mark Smith, senior building control officer, said: "We've still got dangerous buildings on site, they have to be assessed each month. We have to take it one step at a time."
The future of the site remains in question as discussions take place between the freeholder of the land, 25 homeowners or leaseholders, several tenants, 10 different insurance companies and an army of safety experts and council planners, as well as other residents.
Once decisions are made the tender process for the construction and repair work will take more time.
Jameson Bridgewater, head of planning and infrastructure, said: "We're working with the freeholder to take decisions and what happens next is not the council's decision to make - our role is to make sure the insurance companies work together.
"A lot of the decision-making process rests with the people that own the houses - it's not straightforward. We will probably get some sort of redevelopment over time, but it could take a few years."
About £300,000 has been raised for the residents affected and most of that has been used to pay for their rent deposits on temporary accommodation and furnishings.
Councillor Jean Stretton said: "People just want to return back to normality as soon as possible."

Ducati TT2 for sale on Ebay
Here is your chance to own a Ducati TT2. Last raced in the late 90's by Tony Jaksic in Post Classic Racing in Australia. I was going to restore this but I have moved to another state and no longer have the room. Runs a 500 cases but not sure whats been done internally, it was a very competitive bike in its days. Some may remember the bike, feel free to message me. All the usual tt bits. It will need a bit of work, not much to get it back up and running, needs battery tray and a front fairing bracket (one on the bike looks home made) and a breather box. Runs a total loss. All brakes still work. I have not have the bike running but won't take much effort to get it running again. The frame is a Verlicchi frame (a letter is supplied from Ian Gowanloch from the 90s). A replica and not a factory racer but set up properly. Comes with a spare exhaust header. I'm hoping to bring it at the Festival of Speed in Eastern Creek depending if I can get transport.

Here she is celebrating her birthday at school. She was so excited to be the birthday girl which meant that she was the line leader too.
We made cupcakes for the class and she wanted them to be green, which is so rare for the girl that loves everything pink. Then of course she topped them with sprinkles and m&m's.
Today we started off the celebration by eating mac and cheese for breakfast. Haha. That's what she asked for and I didn't want to deny her request on her birthday. It will be a pretty low key day, since we decided we will celebrate her birthday with my entire family at the beach. She has already come up with the theme, Barbie Surf Party. Stay tuned, because she's already envisioning a cake I need to make for her and it sounds a little difficult.

I heard that Duckie was supposed to get the girl in the original script, but apparently Molly Ringwald argued against it; she said that her character only viewed Duckie as a friend. But I always liked Duckie too, and I'm glad that at least he found someone nice in the movie, even if it wasn't the one he originally wanted.
Hatcher's Pass looks beautiful, and it looks like it would be a really peaceful place to write. As someone who lives in the city and is much more likely to look out the window and see nothing but a view of my neighbors' apartments, I'm envious.

This is fab! Jolene is so amazing and I didn't mind reading your long-winded conversation! I actually added in my own commentary, lol.

My publisher didn't require an agent and I don't think they are shady. They just have their way of doing business. For the record...Alaska looks really cold. But there is beauty in cold I guess.

what a friendly interview =)
nice to get to know jolene!

- Jolene Perry said...
Michael -
Just wanted to clarify - MOST publishers don't require an agent, and they're awesome!! Both publishers I've worked with don't require an agent. My point was that you should be worried if your pub house is relieved when you don't have an agent. That's all. AND that's just my opinion.
Also - the Hatcher's Pass pic makes me happy - the far grey buildings are the old mine, and the spot we most often visit :-D

Great interview! I love Jolene. She's pretty super awesome and it's amazing she's from Alaska. I think I would become certifiable if I lived there, but go Jolene!

MARTINSBURG, W.Va. - Business woes continue to mount for the Blue Ridge Outlet Center in Martinsburg.
Polo Ralph Lauren is closing the doors on its Blue Ridge store on Saturday and Nautica has informed customers it will follow suit on June 8.
[cont. from news page]
A third store in the outlet center has told employees it plans to leave Blue Ridge next month.
The Corning Revere Factory Store told its employees last week that July 18 will be the final day for its Martinsburg store, Corning worker Cara Maphis said.
The stores bring to 10 the number of stores at Blue Ridge that have left or announced plans to leave Martinsburg since mid-February.

Flores, an expert in career advancement, offers up-and-comers an inside look at what it takes to get promoted in this strikingly honest look at how to build and sustain forward momentum in the workplace.
Flores writes to tell people the truth about what will and will not help them get ahead in their careers. He delineates several competing theories about how career advancement takes place and then shows why these are idealistic and not proven by the facts of what actually occurs. He then lays out what he calls the "Real World Model," which is a combination of advancement through traditional means, like having superior qualifications, and usually unspoken means, like having a good rapport with the boss and getting fast-tracked for promotion. He explains that advancement doesn't just happen to people who have the right education and the right degrees; instead, it happens to people who, in addition to those qualifications, have an "X" factor. These are the people who end up being personally mentored by a boss or supervisor and who are earmarked for promotion, even when a company goes through the charade of looking for other candidates. In many cases, the system Flores lays out shrewdly reflects the reality of office politics; bosses are looking for people they can get along with, people with similar interests who laugh at their jokes and have the necessary charisma and prestige to add value to the company beyond the performance of their daily duties. However, some may find Flores' system too cynical for implementation in every situation. Detractors may points out that those looking to advance in their careers need to determine which of the models Flores discusses is true for their place of employment, and act accordingly. While Flores' advice will be good in many situations, its applicability may not be universal. Still, much can be learned from this book.
For readers who want to get ahead in the most efficient way possible, this book offers a straightforward look at what really earns someone a promotion and gives detailed instructions for bringing that to pass in a person's real life.

A Research Agenda for Regeneration Economies
Reading City-Regions
Edited by John R. Bryson, Lauren Andres and Rachel Mulhall
Edited by Robert C. Kloosterman, Virginie Mamadouh and Pieter Terhorst
Processes of globalization have changed the world in many, often fundamental, ways. Increasingly these processes are being debated and contested. This Handbook offers a timely, rich as well as critical panorama of these multifaceted processes with up-to-date chapters by renowned specialists from many countries. It comprises chapters on the historical background of globalization, different geographical perspectives (including world systems analysis and geopolitics), the geographies of flows (of people, goods and services, and capital), and the geographies of places (including global cities, clusters, port cities and the impact of climate change).
Global City Makers
Economic Actors and Practices in the World City Network
Edited by Michael Hoyler, Christof Parnreiter and Allan Watson
Global City Makers provides an in-depth account of the role of powerful economic actors in making and un-making global cities. Engaging critically and constructively with global urban studies from a relational economic geography perspective, the book outlines a renewed agenda for global cities research. Focusing on financial services, management consultancy, real estate, commodity trading and maritime industries, the detailed studies in this volume are located across the globe to incorporate major world cities such as London, New York and Tokyo as well as globalizing cities including Mexico City, Hamburg and Mumbai.
Varieties of Capital Cities
The Competitiveness Challenge for Secondary Capitals
David Kaufmann
The political and symbolic centrality of capital cities has been challenged by increasing economic globalization. This is especially true of secondary capital cities; capital cities which, while being the seat of national political power, are not the primary economic city of their nation state. David Kaufmann examines the unique challenges that these cities face entering globalised, inter-urban competition while not possessing a competitive political economy.
Economic Crisis and the Resilience of Regions
A European Study
Edited by Gillian Bristow and Adrian Healy
The economic crisis of 2008-9 heralded the most severe economic downturn in the history of the European Union. Yet not all regions experienced economic decline and rates of recovery have varied greatly. This has raised new questions about what factors influence the economic resilience of regions. This book presents the results of an Applied Research Project conducted within the ESPON 2013 Programme and provides a detailed analysis of what made some European regions more resilient to the crisis than others.
Edited by Anssi Paasi, John Harrison and Martin Jones
This new international Handbook provides the reader with the most up-to-date and original viewpoints on critical debates relating to the rapidly transforming geographies of regions and territories, as well as related key concepts such as place, scale, networks and regionalism. Bringing together renowned specialists who have extensively theorized these spatial concepts and contributed to rich empirical research in disciplines such as geography, sociology, political science and IR studies, this interdisciplinary collection offers fresh, cutting-edge, and contextual insights on the significance of regions and territories in today's dynamic world.
Edited by Urban Gråsjö, Charlie Karlsson and Iréne Bernhard
Developed countries must be incredibly innovative to secure incomes and welfare so that they may successfully compete against international rivals. This book focuses on two specific but interrelated aspects of innovation by incumbent firms and entrepreneurs, the role of geography and of open innovation.
Edited by Kakuya Matsushima and William P. Anderson
This collection of 16 original research chapters by international scholars addresses the complementary roles of transportation and knowledge and their spatial manifestations in modern urban and regional economies. The authors provide research from North America, Europe and Asia. While the studies employ sophisticated methods and theory, there is a strong element of practical applications and policy implications in each chapter as well. This book will be of interest to communities of research and practice in urban and regional economics and planning, regional science and economic geography, transportation research, planning and management and the knowledge economy.
The Home
Multidisciplinary Reflections
Edited by Antonio Argandoña
In the first major work to take the home as a center of analysis for global social problems, experts from a variety of fields reveal the multidimensional reality of the home and its role in societies worldwide. This unique book serves as a basis for action by proposing global legislative, political and institutional initiatives with the home in mind.
Globalization, International Spillovers and Sectoral Changes
Implications for Regions and Industries
Edited by Charlie Karlsson, Andreas P. Cornett and Tina Wallin
As a consequence of globalization, news, ideas and knowledge are moving quickly across national borders and generating international spillovers. So too, however, are economic and financial crises. Combining a variety of methods, concepts and interdisciplinary approaches, this book provides an in-depth examination of these structural changes and their impact. Assessing the implications of globalization for businesses and sectors, chapters focus on the interdependencies between different economic and political layers, and explore topics such as human capital, creativity, innovation, networks and collaboration.

Seth Rogen may have claimed that Steely Dan "gargles my balls" in Knocked Up, but I side more with Paul Rudd, who defended the arch and artsy duo in the movie.
Admittedly, Steely Dan make more sense when you get older, when their dry, smart-ass lyrics and jazzy melodies play better to older, more seasoned ears (it took me years to really get into them, and I still have trouble sitting down and enjoying much of their work).
The band is playing two shows at Akron's E.J. Thomas Hall: One includes 1977's Aja in its entirety; the other includes all of 1976's The Royal Scam.
The shows are at 7:30 p.m. on November 16 (Aja) and 17 (Scam).
Tickets range from $61-$148 and go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday at E.J. Thomas' box office, at ticketmaster.com and livenation.com. —Michael Gallucci

In Vietnam even I put sugar in my coffee!
My daughter Cassandra currently lives and works in Hanoi, Vietnam. I had not seen her since March of 2013 so a visit was in order. Her mother and brother went to see her in June. Cassie and I reprised several sights and sought out some new ones as well.
Hanoi - Bun Bo Nam Bo, my son Erik's favorite restaurant in Hanoi, is quite the eatery. They serve only one dish - Bun Bo - which is a little like soup and salad all in the same bowl. Bia Hanoi, while a pilsner like all beer in Vietnam, is tasty, cheap, and safe to drink.
Sapa - In the extreme north of the country along the border with China. Cold at night, cool and damp in the morning. Pleasant in the afternoon, in the sun at least. It snowed there the day before we arrived.
Halong Bay - on the northeast coast, again close to the border with China, is a popular getaway.
Hue - was the traditional capital of Vietnam and the scene of brutal fighting during the 1968 Tet Offensive.
Hoi An - A quiet coastal village south of Danang. We ate at all three stores operated by Ms Trinh Diem Vy, the owner of Morning Glory Restaurant. Each was delicious in different ways.
The Champa ruins at My Son - Are ruins because the US bombed a Viet Cong weapons depot there in 1969. The Vietnamese are not fond of the B52.
Saigon - Bia Saigon is good too...and only $0.60 a bottle.
Mekong Delta at Can Tho - Beautiful and a little spooky. I know men who suffered badly there a generation ago.
The Cao Dai Holy See - The Cao Dai religion is a 20th century Vietnamese syncretism of Catholicism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and others. They gather for prayer every six hours, 24/7. While very colorful and accompanied by wonderful music and singing, it seems a little wrapped up in legalisms. Guess they're not alone in that. Never been challenged by temple monkeys outside any other congregations' houses of worship though...
The tunnels at Cu Chi - The (notorious or heroic) underground fighting complex served as the transfer point between the terminus of the Ho Chi Minh Highway in Cambodia and the outskirts of Saigon. Watch your step!
Ancient Angkor at Siem Reap, Cambodia - We also visited the Bakong temple in the Rolous Group east of Siem Reap. I circumambulated each of its five levels as I ascended. Cassie went straight to the top and sat in the shade to wait for me. There's a lesson there for somebody.
Our itinerary was a mix of cultural, historical, religious, and political. Vietnam is nominally a communist country in which everyone owns a scooter and runs a little shop.
This is not the Southeast Asia I grew up watching every night on the CBS Evening News. It has not been so for a long time.
Fascinating place, fascinating people.

Our capabilities include superior-quality injection and injection stretch blow molding, as well as extrusion blow molding.
Alpha manufactures stock and custom containers in a variety of styles and colors, all of which are available with very short lead times. Alpha is a company that is proud of its history, but always looks toward its future. The company was founded back in 1969 and its current management team has been in place since 1985.
All of our plants house state-of-the-art injection blow molding equipment for both PET and HDPE bottles and jars. Our 210,000ft² headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri, 80,000ft² plant in Salt Lake City, Utah, 93,000 ft² plant in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, 120,000 ft² plant in Jacksonville, Florida and our newly-acquired, 100,000 ft² plant in Ypsilanti, Michigan serve both domestic and global customers.
Experienced sales and customer service representatives serve the entire United States. Alpha also sells through domestic and international stocking distributors who are all extremely knowledgeable about our product line.
Alpha Packaging serves industries that demand consistent quality, whether it's in the resins used, color, true shape, innovative molds or customer service. Alpha's primary industries include personal care (or health and beauty aids), nutritional, pharmaceutical and niche food and beverage.
We employ injection blow and injection stretch blow molding production technologies that don't require secondary steps such as trimming – these are the methods of choice for consistent quality. We also extrusion blow mold some styles of our HDPE bottles and jars.
Alpha combines these tried and tested molding technologies with many automated processes, including stack packers and soft-touch take-out systems to prevent scratching of clear PET bottles and jars.
Quality is our number one priority at Alpha Packaging. Our manufacturing process integrates only the finest FDA-approved raw materials with state-of-the-art equipment and stringent quality control procedures at every station on the line. All manufacturing and warehousing is conducted in a sealed, clean, controlled environment to ensure products meet our high standards.
Alpha's customers have always reported that our plastic bottles and jars exceed the quality accepted within their industries. To ensure we keep hearing these great comments, Alpha has invested in new systems to further ensure our packaging is ready to be filled when it reaches the customer. Leak detectors on every line and a vision system which verifies bottle colors are just two of the newest ways Alpha is meeting our customers' needs for quality.
And finally, because Alpha builds and maintains most of its own tooling, any issues with quality can be quickly addressed before they impact delivery schedules.

New Crunch acquisition Dan Sexton liking his new (old) stomping grounds
Fri, 15 Mar 2013 02:30:19 GMT —
The Syracuse Crunch have acquired a familiar face as the Tampa Bay Lightning sent forward Kyle Wilson to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for forward Dan Sexton, announced today by vice president and general manager Steve Yzerman.
Sexton was with the Crunch during the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 seasons, where he appeared in 92 games and recorded 63 points (23g, 40a). The 5-foot-9, 180-pounder has played in 27 games thus far this season with the Norfolk Admirals of the American Hockey League (AHL). Sexton has scored five goals and dished out 16 assists, and two of his goals have come on power play opportunities. Over the past seven games, the forward has recorded eight points (two goals, six assists).
During Sextonâ??s AHL career, he has played in 128 games with the Admirals, the Manitoba Moose and the Syracuse Crunch. He has accounted for 32 goals and 88 points.
Sexton has skated in the NHL for the Ducks in 88 career games, with 13 goals and 32 points during a two year span. Sexton says he is excited about the role he can play in the Crunch's playoff run, and is impressed by the changes made at the War Memorial.
"A little bit has changed, mostly in the arena the locker room area is awesome, it's so different and so much better they really put a lot of time and effort into it and money, it really shows and investment in the team," Sexton says.
The Crunch are grateful to have Sexton back skating in Syracuse and hope that he can continue to put up the numbers that he currently is putting in the stat sheet.

Clean, simple, comfortable rooms with working aircon. Safe spot within walking distance of lots of restaurants about 10 mins away. Staff were very friendly. For stopovers in Panama City this is a great choice.
"don't o to high. their is an elevator but it's faster and easy to go down with stair."
"5th floor is quiet. The pool and gym are on the roof above you!"
"1. Ask for a room away from the street if you want a more quiet atmosphere. 2. Try the restaurant for both..."


text: Hope this is an okay forum for this? Has anyone seen/own these two videos? They are a two video set, one shows various left hand techniques and the other, right hand techniques for different music styles. Apparently, the guests are various bass greats. Just ordered them (another ebay gas episode, got the 2 video set for $10 Cdn.) so wondering what your thoughts are on the video content if you've seen them.

After viewing this blog, Green Your Decor Blog and the hot pink cheetah kitchen featured in Better After Blog example of the stunning kiddie kitchen made out of an unwanted entertainment center. My wheels started to spin... My 6 & 8 year old girlies are a little too old for me to start breaking out the paint for a kiddie kitchen and we already have one of the plastic kitchens collecting dust. What else can I do like this? I decided to make a doll house for their new American Girl dolls, Julie and Molly. I searched high and low on Pinterest and Google University and it appears as if not too many people have tried this approach. I found one computer desk that was repurposed, http://dolldiaries.com/diy-doll-house-made-from-computer-armoire , of which fed my fascination and gave me hope that it was possible.
Being a young 35, I never purchased the 80's-90's era entertainment center for our own TV... so I began my search on craigslist. Early in the week, I told him my plans to repurpose an entertainment center for the girls and he looked at me a little crazy. I don't think he thought I was serious because I had no ability to get such a beast home. The stars aligned when I found this gem on craigslist, in my own subdivision and the original owner was willing to drop it off!!! and the story begins...
|Isn't she a gem?
|You should have seen my Keith's face when he came home and found her parked in the garage!

Selectec has crafted a unique looking Bluetooth speaker with amazing sound quality. What is unique looking about it? The "dent" in the top. If you don't know what it is for, you might think it's doing an impression of a single slice toaster. Or it's some kind of handle. No and no. Yes — it's a slot for you to put your smartphone on!
So this is just an iPhone or Android phone stand with a speaker in it? Hardly. This is actually a Bluetooth speaker with an iPhone or Android phone stand built-in. No, that's not just semantics. I've tried products billed as smartphone stands with a speaker built-in and the sound quality of the speaker was abysmal and insulting. The design of the stand was the focus and the speaker was a cheap afterthought. Not here!
This Bluetooth speaker uses high quality drivers to produce stereo sound and has a passive radiator to increase bass response. It's a small unit packed with big sound. Just hold the speaker while it is playing music and you can feel the power emanating from it. Yes, it has a slot for an iPhone on it, but even if you never put a smartphone on that slot, you will still love the sound of this speaker. It can get very loud without distorting. And like I said, it has a lot of bass.
You receive a USB charging chord and a speaker plug which is great for any device that is not Bluetooth capable.
To get a full charge it takes about 4 hours. The transmission distance is 10 meters which is 32 feet..
If your in the market for a great compact Bluetooth speaker I would highly recommend this one. Selectec has really outdone themselves with this speaker!

The new season of The Simpsons begins on Fox on Sunday, September 30. This clip from the premier episode, in which Homer votes in the 2012 presidential election, was released today.
Granted he votes for the wrong candidate for entirely the wrong reasons (and pays for his mistake), but the clip does a good job of addressing some of the issues facing us this year. See if you can pick them out.

For various reasons, which are detailed below, regularly adding new content to your site is not only recommended, but essential if you want to get to the top of Google and stay there long term. Finding, indexing and ranking content is what search engines exist for and it's how they make their money. They need you to produce content, and they will reward you with rankings and visitors if you do.
There's no magical number as to how often you should add new content to your website, but almost all businesses would see significant results over time if they're able to add just a few new pages of quality content to their site each month. The more, the better, but never at the cost of sacrificing the quality of the content. 3 new good quality pages per month is preferable to 30 new poor quality pages per month.
So, what are the specific benefits of regularly adding new content to your business's site?
Each new page that you add to your site gives you an opportunity to target and rank for a new keyword, and the more keywords that you rank for, the more ways there are for people to find your site. Each new page won't just rank for a single keyword either. A content rich page will rank for multiple long-tail keywords also. The individual search volumes for those keywords might be low, but totalled up it can equate to a significant amount of new traffic.
A new webpage is a new reason for another website to link to you or another person to Like, Tweet or share your site on Facebook, Twitter or Google+. Links and social signals to any of the pages on your site boost the trust and authority of your site as a whole, and increased trust and authority improves rankings for all of the keywords that you're targeting – not just the keyword being targeted with the new page.
Can you really adequately demonstrate your expertise and knowledge in just 10 pages of content? Even if you think you that you can, the average person would consider a site with 100 pages of quality content on a topic to be more authoritative than a site with 10 pages of content. The more information and advice that you provide, the more people will trust you more, and it's easier to sell to people who trust you.
More pages of content on your site means people will spend longer on your site, and the longer someone is on your site, the higher the likelihood that they will make a purchase. The time a visitor spends on a site is also one of the factors that search engines use in their ranking algorithms. If people clicking on a particular search result spend an average of 5 minutes viewing that site, it's a strong indication that the site deserves a better ranking than a site which has an average viewing time of just 1 minute.
If the content on your site never gets updated and added to then there's no reason for visitors to return again and again. If you have a small site, say just 5-10 pages, visitors can see everything first time around. What's the reason for them to return? If they know new content is added each week though, then they have a reason to return, and if that content is quality content that they find interesting and useful, they almost certainly will do.

(Nov. 8, 2013)
The foreign secretaries of Mexico and Cuba announced the re-launch of relations between the two countries and the strengthening of trade, financial, and other cooperation agreements. The Secretary of Foreign Relations of Mexico, José Antonio Meade, said Mexico will maintain a high-level political dialogue with Cuba and foster a closer relationship in order to develop trade relations and investment. (Liliana Alcántara, México y Cuba Suscriben Acuerdos de Cooperación, EL UNIVERSAL (Nov. 1, 2013).)
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Cuba, Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, stated that it is time to strengthen bilateral ties and thanked the support of Mexico for Cuba's demand for the cessation of the economic embargo imposed by the United States on the Caribbean island. The two diplomats signed eight agreements on trade and investment, extradition, legal assistance in criminal matters, tourism, higher education, the environment and natural resources, an expansion of the agreement on economic complementation, and bilateral cooperation (a Letter of Intent). (Id.)
In a lecture on "Vision of Latin America, the Caribbean and Cuba," the Cuban Foreign Minister reiterated that Cuba is not moving towards capitalism. He was quoted as stressing that the economic embargo imposed on Cuba by the United States must come to an end because "it is frozen in the past and has not worked," and also because he feels it constitutes an act of genocide and a mass, gross, and systematic violation of human rights. (Id.)

|Biosphere Reserve Information
© Photo: V.I. Yashnov
|General Description
Sokhondinskiy Biosphere Reserve is situated 25 km north of the Mongolian border and occupies the isolated mountain massif of Sokhondo (2,508 meters above sea level) which is the highest part of the Khente-Chkoi plateau. Here, major rivers of the Baikal-Amur watershed have their source. Within the biosphere reserve, two biogeographic provinces meet: the East Siberian Taiga and Mongolian-Manchurian Steppe. There is a series of altitudinal vegetation belts with a steppe, taiga, alpine meadows and high mountain tundra.
About 6,000 people live in three settlements in the transition area (1997) who are mainly engaged in agriculture, forestry, cattle breeding, hunting and fishing. Poaching increased during the political transition period. A management plan of the biosphere reserve foresees measures such as the strict protection of the core area and buffer zone, fire protection, the establishment and support of experimental plots and the reparation of roads and shelters.
|Major ecosystem type

"Oates is just a fearless writer…with her brave heart and her impossibly lush and dead-on imaginative powers."
—Los Angeles Times
"[An] extraordinarily intense, racking, and resonant novel."
—Booklist (starred review)
One of the most acclaimed writers in the world today, the inimitable Joyce Carol Oates follows up her searing, New York Times bestselling memoir, A Widow's Story, with an extraordinary new work of fiction. Mudwoman is a riveting psychological thriller, taut with dark suspense, that explores the high price of repression in the life of a respected university president teetering on the precipice of a nervous breakdown. Like Daphne DuMaurier's gothic masterwork, Rebecca, and the classic ghost story, The Turn of the Screw, by Henry James, Oates's Mudwoman is a chilling page-turner that hinges on the power of the imagination and the blurry lines between the real and the invented—and it stands tall among the author's most powerful and beloved works, including The Falls, The Gravedigger's Daughter, and We Were the Mulvaneys.
About Joyce Carol OatesSee more books from this Author
As an author and by all accounts a model academic, Oates, like M.R., works and works but can't quite get full respect. You hear her name and wait for the inevitable "joke" about the rapid pace at which her books appear.Read Full Review of Mudwoman : A Novel | See more reviews from NY Times

Unfortunately, Oates lards her narrative with so much excess verbiage — usually about politics and astronomy — that Meredith's story gets lost.Read Full Review of Mudwoman : A Novel

It seems the city puts those swans in the pond to keep the geese away.
Wednesday, July 21, 2010
The Birds
My husband does not like birds.
He's afraid of them.
He won't be mad that I'm telling
because it's common knowledge.
They are all 'chickens' to him.
Suffice it to say there was a bad incident
many years ago with a small boy,
baling twine,
and a large goose.
That ended with the goose honking and flapping its wings,
while standing the little boy's rump.
So what do I do on vacation?
I take my hubby to the local park where all the birds hang out.
I promise, I do not do this to cause him discomfort.
I just reason they aren't going to come too close,
and if they do,
I will protect my husband.
(I've done this before when a crazy swan got excited and tried to get him at the zoo.)
At the park I'm making these comments about how nice it is that all the birds just get along.
See there are ducks floating around,
An egret, stork or heron -
let's just call it a long-legged bird
Overhead there are gulls.
Trumpeter Swans
and geese.
So I'm talking about how wonderful this is,
all these birds sharing the same space
as we are walking around the lake
(By the way, hubby is walking on the outside so I am between him and said birds.)
We notice this lovely swan
with its butt in the air.
Now my husband, being very
frightened, scared observant
says, that bird is not real.
Sure enough the trumpeter swan that has its butt in the air
is really a fake swan that has turned over.
It seems the city puts those swans in the pond to keep the geese away.
Trumpeter swans and Canadian geese do not get along
which explains this pic.
Yeah, I'd keep my eye on him too.

Ha! That's so funny. Both that your hubs doesn't like the birds, and that you were there enjoying them when he found the one to be an imposter. cute! I don't like geese either. They always scared me as a kid, just running toward me when I had nowhere to go to get away... Olive always runs towards birds. Squirrels too. She can't get enough of 'em!ReplyDelete
