Semiotic Sorceress's curator insight, July 8, 2013 6:23 PM
"According to the US food and drug administration, the cheese "appears to consist in whole or in part of a filthy, putrid or decomposed substance or be otherwise unfit for food".
"This is absurd," a mimolette producers' spokesman said. "Changing the production process would change the flavour. No one has ever got ill from eating our cheese."

This 10k year correction in dating makes me wonder what things we believe as fact now may later be proven to be significantly off.

Finally: instant sheet music! Very cool. I just hope I can hum or play an idea and it will do the rest...hehehe.

Interesting analyses of flavors; looking at similarities and dissimilar patterns. Garlilc appears to be common to all but North Aerican diets. I hope the authors will include AFRICA. This study might unlock the key to introducing nutrition in diets of populations worldwide.

Divide people up by gender and sexual preference. You have four groups. Straight Men, Straight Women, Gay Men and Gay Women.
Of those four groups, which ones spend money and time making themselves look attractive for potential mates? Who works out, stays fit, dresses well, spends money and time on their hair and other physical attributes? Straight Women and Gay Men. Who are they trying to attract? Men.
Which groups don't spend much time on their appearance? Straight Men and Gay Women. Who are they trying to attract? Women.
This suggests that there is something biological in men that makes them most concerned with physical attraction, and something biological that makes women most concerned with personality, character, wealth, etc.

(SportsNetwork.com) - The Ottawa Senators aim for a second straight win at the start of a three-game road trip, as they visit the sliding Carolina Hurricanes for Sunday's battle at PNC Arena.
Ottawa had lost three in a row heading into the opener of its current swing on Saturday, but the Senators used a pair of late power-play goals to end the slide and defeat the Detroit Red Wings, 4-2.
Clarke MacArthur scored twice for the Senators, giving him three goals over the past three games and six on the season. Bobby Ryan posted a goal and an assist while Chris Neil also scored for the Senators. Robin Lehner made 34 saves in the win.
With the score tied at 2-2 early in the third period, the Senators regained the lead when Ryan scored on a two-man advantage with over 16 minutes remaining. The score stayed 3-2 until MacArthur provided insurance with a power-play marker with 4:02 left in the third.
"When your special teams can win you hockey games, it's a good sign," said Ottawa forward Jason Spezza said. "It shows that we were organized and focused, and those are all things that are good."
Ottawa improved to 5-4-2 on the road and the Sens can post victories in consecutive away games for just the second time this season with another win tonight. The Sens, who will complete this trek Wednesday in Washington, previously won in Phoenix and Detroit from Oct. 15-23.
The Senators had lost four straight in the series with Carolina before notching a 3-2 regulation win in Ottawa on April 16 of last season. However, the Hurricanes have claimed seven of 10 in this series overall and also have recorded wins in two straight and nine of the past 10 encounters in North Carolina.
Craig Anderson is expected to start Sunday's game for Ottawa. The veteran goaltender is 5-2-4 with a 2.58 goals against average in 11 career outings against Carolina.
The Hurricanes enter Sunday on a four-game slide, but they did record their first point of the skid with Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss at Boston. David Krejci notched the game-winner 1:28 into OT for the Bruins.
On the deciding goal, Jarome Iginla split two defenders between the circles and got goaltender Cam Ward to commit before dishing to the slot for Krejci, who waited for Ward to dive back to the net before roofing the disc to send Boston to its seventh win in its last nine games. Ward posted 35 saves in defeat.
Patrick Dwyer tied the game with a short-handed tally at 11:10 of the third, while Andrej Sekera added his fifth of the season for the Hurricanes.
"Patty (Dwyer) made a great play to get the opportunity to skate in there," Carolina head coach Kirk Muller said of Dwyer's short-handed goal. "Obviously a huge goal at the right time."
Carolina has lost five straight games once already this season, suffering through an 0-5-0 stretch from Oct. 24-Nov. 2.
Beginning with Sunday's test, the Hurricanes are playing three of their next four games at home. Carolina is 5-4-4 at PNC Arena this season and 3-6-1 on the road.
With Carolina playing on consecutive days, backup goaltender Justin Peters could give Ward a rest on Sunday. Peters has faced the Sens just once in his career, as he took a loss despite making 31 saves in the 3-2 road setback on April 16 of last season.
Ward is 11-7-1 with a 2.51 GAA in 20 lifetime outings versus the Senators.

And the first thing they do after connecting, is of course, load up Google! I'm sure none of this surprises anyone.
They showed interest in bidding the spectrum up high enough that it would be open. They didn't actually care if they won it or not, they'd have used it if they did, if not, they were happy to let someone else do that work. That's not their core business. But having it open access, that IS what they care about, and that is why they bid it the way they did.
Google has no connection to provide to consumers.
And none of the current crop of wireless carriers would find implementing this patent at all interesting, as they DON'T want to devalue themselves into being bit-carriers. They see themselves as both a necessary link between consumers and valuable information, as well as being able to provide all the information the consumer could want. Sure you might want to surf around reading things on the internets, but the carrier has everything you want to buy.
Just lo
"And the first thing they do after power on self test, is of course, load up Windows! I'm sure none of this surprises anyone."
"Like anyone uses any other operating system anyway...
So? My Homepage IS Google. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who has it set to that.
You are not required to purchase laws. Think of them as optional services. Buy only what you need. The only required purchase is protection, just ask Microsoft. If they'd given more, sooner that whole anti-trust thing may never have happened.
Any sufficiently advanced protection racket is indistinguishable from government.
They started contributing [opensecrets.org] just in time.
Me, too.
I'm terrified by what is happening with the current major-telco/ISP system. From what I've seen in the past 20 years, a large enough chunk of humanity has the vulnerable-to-marketing gene that these people [slashdot.org] may likely get what they want: A second Great Firewall in the United States, just for the billions they want to make in commoditizing entertainment (that's what they mean when they refer to art as "content").
It would be even more likely, if there wasn't a 1.5e11 dollar company in the way, headed by people who understand that being publicly traded doesn't mean you sacrifice ethics for shareholder return. AFAICT, they've stuck by their motto, and they understand how important these issues are for humankind.
Yeah, I know, I've drunk the kool-aid, etc. Save it.
Agree'd. Also notice how there is surprisingly little google hating in the comments this time. Is it going out of fashion already?
Admittedly it must be really hard for the google-haters to find something to whine about in this particular story... I guess we'll just see some "too good to be true"-rants and that's it.
Back on topic: This would be a truly awesome move by google. Let's see if they can really pull it off, they'll have the whole telco industry against them. Talk about a game-changer!
I guess we'll just see some "too good to be true"-rants and that's it.
Well, that and the whole patent thing. I'm of the opinion that patents and current IP law are a legacy system and it will eventually be unworkable, but we haven't quite evolved away from it yet.
Maybe when everyone sees the benefits of having the sum of humankind's knowledge and expression available to anybody with cheap hardware; with everyone able to contribute in real-time, without the interference of commercial gatekeepers, we can ditch it. Of course, the trillions of dollars in productivity gained in the past 30-some years of computing and networking hasn't demonstrated the point to the vast majority of people, but it has to get through their thick skulls eventually.
For now, I'll just say I'm picking my battles, and Google has earned my trust.
AFAICT, they've stuck by their motto, and they understand how important these issues are for humankind.
Get real. First and foremost they care about their bottom line. Having an open network prevents ISPs from squeezing them. Sometimes Google's interests and the public's interests align. Great, I'm glad when it does. Just don't pretend that Google is some kind of saintly company. They've done plenty of wrong, and you'd be a fool to blindly trust them.
Not flaming you here, this is an honest question.
Are you saying this for the specific case of Google, or are you saying this because you think that public companies can only act in the interest of profit?
If it is the latter, are you saying that all companies only act in the interest of growth by nature of being a company, or are you saying that Google is compelled to act in the interest of growth (i.e., Google is compelled to perform an action that is good for growth and socially harmful, if that action is
Are you saying this for the specific case of Google, or are you saying this because you think that public companies can only act in the interest of profit?
I'm saying this in the specific case of Google, based on their actions, though it's the safest assumption to make of any company.
If you are saying that Google is compelled by securities law to act badly, you're wrong, despite what the people with rolled-up sleeves say on CNBC.
A lot of people on Slashdot say this too. What's your explanation for why they are wrong?
They are wrong because there isn't any law that states that. Shareholders can sue, but only for a pretty limited set of reasons, all of which fall under really serious malfeasance or gross incompetence by officers. You can't sue (and win against) Jerry Yang and the board for not selling to Microsoft, for example.
I'm guessing you really want to know where the meme came from, and I couldn't say for sure (besides the CNBC stuff).
I can tell you that securities litigation was a very large industry in the 1990s.
Well, all very interesting, and I thank you for the Milberg & Weiss link, but what I'm still missing is what the law actually says. So for now I'll reserve judgment until I do some research.
I sincerely hope this isn't all that's in the patent. I wrote about this model for wireless network access about a year ago, and when I was researching the article I came across people with the same idea ten years earlier, who cited even earlier people.
The big step needed to make it happen is to prevent network operators from offering services. When the state licenses them the bandwidth, it should be on the understanding that they only operate the network, nothing else. Otherwise you get serious problems with competition. It is much cheaper for me to make a phone call than a VoIP call from my mobile phone, even though it's cheaper for the operator to route the VoIP call, because it's in their interests to charge more for bandwidth that can be used for competing services. If the network only provided bandwidth, as my ISP does, then it would be in their interests to allow as many services as possible to flourish, so they could charge me more for usage.
You aren't the only one. Heck, there's ton of research in the area - the whole 802.21 (and tech-specific adaptations, such as 802.11u) is based on this, and this kind of stuff is mentioned in the specs as example applications.
I sincerely hope this isn't all that's in the patent. I wrote about this model for wireless network access about a year ago, and when I was researching the article I came across people with the same idea ten years earlier, who cited even earlier people.
Could you please provide your references?
Essentially, wireless operators' networks would be reduced to 'dumb tubes.'
There, fixed that for you.
Wireless companies bid billions for these dumb pipes. What collision course? Access denied. End of collision!
There seem to be some set of natural situations where monopolies essentially must exist due to physical constraints: frequency bands, roads, cable/electric, etc. But it seems to be that a logical principle is that whenever one of these monopolies must be assigned, this is one case where government intervention is warranted -- ensuring that services are decoupled/debundled to the maximum extent reasonable.
For example, roads are a monopoly assigned by local governments to be built by various contractors, but it'd be crazy to imagine that only buildings built by said contractors would be allowed to lie along that road.
I'm usually very against government intervention/regulation, but when these natural monopoly situations occur, that seems to be the point for some reasonable involvement.

Yeah, my State's government is specifically limited to intervention in the case of monopolies, collusion, and fictitious capitalization [nh.gov]:
Free and fair competition in the trades and industries is an inherent and essential right of t he people and should be protected against all monopolies and conspiracies which tend to hinder or destroy it. T
The FCC has been the culprit in resisting the growth of communications in the U.S. Because they are so slow to react to what consumers demand, we're sitting around STILL using bandwidth for antiquated technologies such as broadcast television and radio.
For over a decade, research into software-based radios has continued at an amazing pace. Frequency hopping, which allows the software radios to discover the best frequency to utilize at a given moment, allows the transmission tower and transceiving device to negotiate noise, power needs and transmission speeds almost real time.
I find it crazy that people think we still need to designate frequencies for everything. One-way transmissions (radio, TV) use a ton of space that is seeing demand drop, significantly.
Can you imagine the amount of bandwidth that would be available if the FCC would just step back and let the consumer-producer market find the most efficient solution for wireless data needs? I believe we have a decent amount of proof that unlicensed bandwidth works well: WiFi, cordless phones, and a myriad of other technologies that work well together, but haven't had the chance to be pushed to the limit due to the limited amount of unlicensed bandwidth.
Google is right in wanting there to be a relatively open source process for utilizing available frequencies. I foresee an amazing leap in connectivity, a huge drop is pricing, and a roll out of services across the country that would leapfrog the U.S. to the head of the game again. If only the FCC would step back from their role of monopoly-regulator and possibly only be the organization that lays down the law against individuals or companies who are corrupting the open bandwidth with frequency noise or other clutter. As an anarcho-capitalist, I of course abhor the idea of the FCC doing anything, but I would accept them if they just monitored for those introducing chaos into the unlicensed spectrum if it was opened to an even larger set of frequencies.
Video broadcasts, audio broadcasts, two way communications and more could all share this open spectrum beautifully, with less power usage and more speed available based on the needs of each device at any given moment.
Can you imagine the amount of bandwidth that would be available if the FCC would just step back and let the consumer-producer market find the most efficient solution for wireless data needs?
Yes, and as somebody with an interest in amateur radio, I can say it would be noisy. Consumerism always demands more.
I believe we have a decent amount of proof that unlicensed bandwidth works well: WiFi, cordless phones, and a myriad of other technologies [....]
Unlicensed bandwidth works great for very low power devices where you normally have the same person in charge of both ends of the connection. My wifi basically covers my house, and only causes moderate interference to one house-width on each side of me. With a dozen channels to hop between, things work out OK. If you scan wireless networks, you'll see 2 or 3 in a suburban setting, or 7 or 8 in an apartment complex... Low enough that there's not much incentive for aggressive competition over bandwidth, a
Frequency hopping, which allows the software radios to discover the best frequency to utilize at a given moment, allows the transmission tower and transceiving device to negotiate noise, power needs and transmission speeds almost real time.
Isn't that inefficient for one-to-many broadcasting?
Why is this patentable? People in Europe routinely use cell phones with multiple connectivity options. There are WiFi/3G phones and dual SIM card phones. You can use wireless carriers, callbacks, long distance dial-in, or VoIP over WiFi or 3G. And phones have some logic to pick cheaper combinations. If you really push it, you can manage to get two SIM cards and WiFi into the same phone.
Google is officially my preferred evil overlord.
I hear their sharks are now equipped with broad spectrum, collision avoiding, frickin lasers!
For those who don't know, Carterfone(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carterfone) was an extremely important 1968 FCC decision that obsoleted the phone company model of requiring you to lease a device from them to connect to their networks. The passing of this decision is what gives landline users to this day the freedom to connect whatever device they want to their landline.
Skype petitioned the FCC in 2007 arguing (rightfully so) that the FCC should make the Carterfone rules apply to wireless networks. The FCC chairman Kevin Martin (a member of the business-friendly/consumer-un-friendly Bush Administration) turned it down last year, with a very weak argument basically saying, "Such a move would be premature". Obviously, that translates to, "The wireless companies would like to protect their business model and we don't want to piss them off".
We can fully expect the wireless companies to fight tooth-and-nail against any promotion of truly open networks by companies like Google.
I'd assume the feds will fight this tooth and nail also. It'd make tapping phone lines harder so they'd be against it.
Take a look at what they did with CALEA [wikipedia.org] to effectively make open Wifi a very scary proposition. They wouldn't want cell phones to be any less controlled.
Wireless vision. Wow. What will Google think of next? Wireless audio? Wireless scent?
The future is now!
Google Reveals Wireless Vision
Wow, did anyone else read the title to mean Google had developed a way to make human eyeballs wireless?
Damn, I need more coffee.
If I buy a phone and a contract with say ATT, and I'm in a location in which Verizon is the strongest signal. How does Verizon get compensated for this? Are the expected to set up peering agreements with ATT or do they charge ATT for the right to allow ATT contracted phones to attach to Verizon's network?
Logic is the chastity belt of the mind!

Dec. 26, 2008 - Coalition forces in Afghanistan killed 11 Taliban militants and detained two suspects during a firefight with members of a major roadside-bomb emplacing network in Kandahar province yesterday. In Maiwand district, west of the city of Kandahar, coalition forces targeted a Taliban network responsible for local roadside bomb attacks, including recent assaults that killed several International Security Assistance Force soldiers. Militants barricaded inside the compounds refused to surrender and opened fire on the coalition forces with machine guns and AK-47 rifles.
Coalition forces first held their fire to allow women and children to exit the compounds, after which they were moved to a safer location. Coalition forces then engaged the militants with small-arms fire and hand grenades.
Eleven militants were killed during the firefight. Coalition medical personnel tended to a wounded female bystander and evacuated her to a hospital for further care.
Coalition forces found dozens of land mines, at least 15 rocket-propelled grenades, several machine guns and AK-47 rifles, as well as bomb-making materials hidden in the compounds. Coalition forces destroyed the weaponry.
"No martyrs here, just militants who put down roadside bombs that kill innocent Afghans and then hide among civilians putting them at even greater risk," said Army Col Jerry O'Hara, a U.S. Forces Afghanistan spokesperson. "Coalition forces take on extraordinary steps, even giving up the element of surprise to ensure only militants were engaged."

A man and a woman suspected of being involved with a meth lab at the Best Western Hotel in Uhrichsville are scheduled to appear for a preliminary hearing in the Tuscarawas County Court on Thursday.
A man and a woman suspected of being involved with a meth lab at the Best Western Hotel in Uhrichsville are scheduled to appear for a preliminary hearing in the Tuscarawas County Court on Thursday.
Adam Long, 26, of Uhrichsville, and Catherine Stachowiak, 28, of Senecaville, were charged last week after Uhrichsville Police received a phone call about a domestic dispute and discovered a meth lab instead.
"It was obvious what was going on there," Uhrichsville Police Chief Vince Beal said.
A specialized team from Holmes County was called in, as well as Hazmat specialists to handle the situation, and the rooms were temporarily evacuated due to the danger to the public from the chemicals.
Beal said a quantity of suspected methamphetamine was removed, as well as equipment to be tested by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
Tuscarawas County Assistant Prosecutor Mike Ernest said BCI findings will likely determine if Long or Stachowiak are charged with anything else or if their current charges will be reduced.
Ernest said Long was charged with possession of methamphetamine, a fifth degree felony. Ernest said a conviction could garner a sentence ranging from six to 12 months in jail. His preliminary hearing is set for 10:30 a.m. Thursday.
Stachowiak was charged with production of a controlled substance, a felony of the third degree. If convicted, Ernest said she could serve anywhere from nine to 36 months in prison. Her preliminary hearing is set for 10:15 a.m. Thursday.
Beal said his department hasn't had to deal with meth production very often.
"It's kind of rare for us to come across it," he said.
But it is becoming more common in Tuscarawas County, Ernest said.
"We are starting to see more of it in this county as it becomes a drug that's more easily made by individuals," he said.
Another woman was arrested alongside Long and Stachowiak. However, the 28-year-old Uhrichsville woman was arrested on an outstanding warrant from the Common Pleas Court. Ernest said BCI findings would determine if any new charges would be pressed against her.

Growing up on the west side of San Antonio, I believed in god—the god of football. The game was my ticket out of an early life saturated with violence, addiction, abuse, and chaos.
I was raised by my grandmother, because my parents were only teenagers when I was born. They were children bringing a child into the world. As much as they wanted to care for me, the hurt and brokenness in their lives prevented them. "Grannie" was a Jehovah's Witness, so that was the religion I knew. After a while, even that went away.
We were not poor. We were "po." We couldn't afford the other o and r. We didn't eat meals together. We didn't pray together. There were good times, like when we'd go fishing or when my grandfather would come home after work in the evenings. By the time I was 13, however, I looked at my environment and told my grandmother, "I'm going to do something with my life."
Football was my way out of the hell I was living in. I believed it would lift me into the heaven of the American dream.
Football functioned as my savior. It gave me love: If I played well, I was loved by fans. It gave me an identity: I was Derwin, the football player. It gave me significance: I was somebody because I was a great player. And football gave me a mission. My mission was this: Derwin, you can go to college and make something of your life.
Running from Naked Preacher
During my sophomore year of high school, I started to do just that. I transferred to Judson High School in Converse, a suburb of San Antonio, where I played for D. W. Rutledge, the Texas High School Hall of Fame coach. My senior year, I accepted a football scholarship to Brigham Young University (BYU). So, you have a black kid from a lower socioeconomic, multiethnic context with a Jehovah's Witness religious background (whose god is football) attending a Mormon university.
On January 15, 1990, during my freshman year at BYU, I met a beautiful young lady named Vicki Ensign. She was a javelin thrower on the track team. We fell in love fast and married on May 23, 1992, during my senior year. The first wedding I had ever attended was my own.
At BYU, my god had come through for me. I had an outstanding career and later was named to BYU football's "All Time Dream Team." Plus, I was loved at the school. I had the girl of my dreams. I was making something out of my life. On April 25, 1993, I was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts to strong safety. I had made it!
Then I met the Naked Preacher, a linebacker for the Colts in 1993.
It was impossible not to notice a linebacker who would take a shower, dry off, wrap a towel around his waist, pick up his Bible, and ask those of us in the locker room, "Do you know Jesus?" I would think, Do you know you are half-naked?
I asked the veterans on the team about him. They said, "Don't pay attention to him. That's the Naked Preacher."
At this point in my life, I did not want anything to do with Jesus or a half-naked man talking about him, so I tried to avoid him. One day after practice, I was sitting at my locker and saw the Naked Preacher (whose real name is Steve Grant) walking toward me.
"Rookie D. Gray, do you know Jesus?" he asked.
I pretended to not hear him and turned my back. He repeated the question, but this time he was at my locker. Even though I was not a churchgoer or involved in any religious group, I gave what I thought was a very religious answer: "I'm a good person."

Ti West's tense, suspenseful 2009 film The House of the Devil is a slow burning, stomach bending study in horror tropes. It synthesizes its sources (Carrie, Psycho, urban legends about babysitters and Satanic cults, Rosemary's Baby, the 1980s), to move beyond mere pastiche or parody. At first, the dance montage appears to offer a respite from the nervous dread that West spends most of the film building—it's also another dead-on moment of eighties filmmaking—but the montage's content (the violence of the careening billiard balls, the furtive glance into the dark basement, the breaking of the vase) ironically redoubles the isolation of the film's protagonist. The affirming, protective power of her Walkman cannot resonate beyond her big earphones.
The House of the Devil is a great, smart, scary film that you may have overlooked. Recommended.

The Tigers' Tucker Brockett corralled a loose puck in the slot and found space in the top left corner of the net just 45 seconds into the extra frame to give his team the win.
Neiley's breakaway goal in the final minute of regulation set the table for the sudden-death period as he went forehand to backhand at the top of the crease, sliding the puck between the pads of Princeton (1-0) goalie Sean Bonar.
Sophomore Brett Patterson, a converted forward now playing defense, hit Neiley with a long stretch pass from his own blueline to the far-side blueline that sprung Neiley in alone for the tying goal.
It would be one of the few times the Big Green (0-1) were able to get anything by Bonar, who was the star of the game, stopping 38 shots. At the other end, Dartmouth's James Kruger made his first career start, turning aside 17 shots while being saddled with the tough overtime loss.
"I thought we played well, but it was just one of those games where we didn't get the bounces we needed against a good team on the other side," head coach Bob Gaudet '81 said. "We controlled most of the game, but their goalie was up to the task and they got the puck to the net at the right times."
The Green outshot the host Tigers, 40-20, setting the tone for play the whole night, but especially early on.
Dartmouth was dominant in the first 20 minutes, outshooting Princeton, 19-5, in the first period. The second period saw the tempo slow considerably as play became more even.
Despite being outshot, 28-14, through two periods, the Tigers grabbed the 1-0 lead with 2:59 left in the frame on a Jack Berger turnaround slapshot in the slot while on a shortened power play.
After Princeton pushed the lead to 2-0 just 2:25 into the third on a goal that was reviewed for a high stick, the Green and White finally answered back with their first of the year.
Jack Barre knocked home a loose puck at the side of the net at the 3:40 mark, beating Bonar for the first time all night and on his team's 33rd shot. For Barre, the goal was the first of his collegiate career and was the result of strong play from fellow sophomore Tim O'Brien along the boards, moving below the redline and sliding a pass off the side of the net to the waiting Barre.
Dartmouth finished the game 0-for-2 on the power-play, while Princeton was 1-for-4 with the man-advantage.
The Big Green will conclude its weekend at the Liberty Invitational Saturday at 4 p.m. when it takes on Brown, a team that knocked off defending national champion Yale, 4-1, in the first game of the day.

Since the very first Assassin's Creed, we've been treated to short glimpses of a modern day/near-future world, but an Assassin's Creed game has yet to be fully set in a modern day location. - PSLS
I still believe since Watchdogs has been in production for years (as they say) that in the early stages of development before they decided to milk AC that WatchDogs was the first plan for AC3 when it was still a trilogy.
"They were scared to give watchdogs the AC name because of possible revolt against the brand." - Me
...I have no idea but that sounded like the most fun reason.
How about you give the series an f'n break ubi and come back to it in a few years... AC and CoD have been run into the ground, you need a 2 year minimum cycle not every year... give it a rest and come up with some new IP's...
I think AC with a modern setting would probably do the series some justice but they would really need to put serious effort in to it like not making the story weak like in AC3. I guess watch dogs is the closest thing to that. For now at least

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Following its second consecutive season over .500, the UC Santa Barbara baseball team was selected to finish sixth in the Big West coaches preseason poll, the conference announced on Tuesday. The poll was chosen by the nine head coaches in the Big West.
Bob Brontsema's Gauchos, who went 29-23 last season, return 19 letterwinners and welcome a top-notch recruiting class for 2010. Combined with the team's 2008 finish (35-21), the Gauchos open 2010 having won the second-most games in consecutive seasons under Brontsema's tenure.
Among the returning letterwinners are second baseman Matt Valaika and left-handed pitcher Mario Hollands. Both were selected in Major League Baseball's June amateur draft, but returned to UCSB.
Valaika led the team in batting average (.343) and slugging percentage (.545) last season as he was a Big West Honorable Mention pick. The Valencia, Calif. native was selected in the 20th round by the Cincinnati Reds after racking up 16 doubles and 45 RBI - both second on the team - as well as six home runs and 40 runs scored.
Hollands, who is slated to be the Gauchos' Friday starter, went 6-6 with a 4.74 ERA last season, leading UCSB in innings pitched and finishing second in wins, ERA and strikeouts. The El Cerrito, Calif. native was picked in the 24th round by the Minnesota Twins, but will return for his junior year.
Also returning are 2008 All-American right-handed pitcher Mike Ford, Big West Honorable Mention catcher Marty Mullins, leadoff hitter Gunnar Terhune and 2009 saves leader David Meals.
Leading a talented group of 14 newcomers is left-handed pitcher Kevin Gelinas, a transfer from Central Arizona Junior College. Gelinas was recently rated as the top prospect in the summer California Collegiate League by Baseball America.
The Gauchos open their season on Feb. 23 vs. Westmont and will feature home games against UCLA (Mar. 23), Big West preseason poll top pick Cal State Fullerton (Apr. 16-18), USC (Apr. 27) and UC Riverside (Apr. 30-May 2).
Purchase tickets to all home games by calling (805) 893-UCSB, or click here for more information.
The Intercollegiate Athletics Ticket Office now has two parking spaces adjacent to the building and is now open on Saturdays, making it easier than ever for fans to purchase tickets. The ICA Ticket Office will be open from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm on Saturdays. The two parking spots, designated specifically for the ticket office, are already available during weekday hours, which are 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.

— The colors of the boy's costume are such a bold contrast to the starkness of the urban-looking school. The photographer seems to have captured the juxtaposition of an ancient culture, its traditions and beauty with the somewhat dilapidated surroundings. I'm also wondering how this little boy, dressed as a God, feels about his upcoming role in the festivities. His posture, the focal length of the lens used and especially the color palette really make this an interesting photo.

Something needs to change...
Once I experienced living on my own, and finding out what its all about, I always wanted to do something about it. Well, after watching this video and posting ( comment #5) I was wondering if Reb, you were interested in going into communities and colleges where there are single people, and helping...I would be happy to help out too. You can e-mail me. Shana Tova!

This is what I kept telling myself...
...in the lead-up to my son's departure last week for a year in Israel.
At the airport, I made him kiss me goodbye one extra time. I didn't cry until I'd left him. We were taking turns in the departures area, and when I met up with my daughter (his older sister) she said "Did you cry?" "Yes, but only after I was out of his vision" I replied. "I cried too" she said. This from the girl who has argued about and with him pretty much non-stop since his birth! So while my husband and I are celebrating his going out on his own, ALL of us have had moments of nostalgia - because we miss him.

Thanks for Chizuk!
Thank you Lori for your beautiful words. Every time I think about taking my daughter to the airport, I start to cry. I know that I, and the rest of my family, are going to miss her terribly. Your words have given me chizuk and a new way to look at her leaving. I hope you won't mind if I use some of your beautiful words in my farewell card to her.

Asian ceramics have captivated collectors for centuries because of their exquisite forms, patterns and materials. Originally, they were created for the domestic market. Advancements in sailing and navigation in the 15th century made ceramic export feasible and economically viable.
Asian ceramics first traveled to nearby local markets; later on, they were exported farther to Europe, the Middle East and the Americas. Asian export ceramics were created in areas that are now known as Thailand, Vietnam, China and Japan.
Combining indigenous traditions and borrowed designs, these decorative and practical objects document the cross-cultural exchange of material goods and artistic motifs that began centuries ago and still continues today.

suzaku has no choice in the matter
his geass makes him do whatever it takes to survive
fighting kallen at 100% he still couldnt beat her out right
how much chance do you think he'd have by holding back
how long before his geass took over completely
kallens a steamroller
fighting defensively against her is the LAST thing you should try to do

Yeah. Suzaku could be extremely holier-than-thou and ignoble in his own ways, but over time he realized where he went wrong, and in the end repented for what he did along with Lelouch. Contrary to people who gush over one and loathe the other (they also think of various unsympathetic characters as less despicable than Lelouch when they simply aren't), I personally think they complete one another in the end. Their thoughts and interactions during the ZR and in the post-series supplemental materials released so far pretty much say it all.

I meant in the sense of rather than charging at her giving it his all offensively, he would focus himself on fighting defensively. This isn't to say he would hold back in any sense of the word (again, I know he literally can't), but rather that he would focus on dodging, deflecting, and countering. Everytime Kallen would come at him, he would pull back and then take swings only as counters, possibly making comments over the radio that would lead her to believe that he is feeling more pressed back than he is, in order to make her keep thinking to herself "I've got him, just a little more."
I suppose this could be explained by Suzaku's fighting style being offense based, so part of using the Geass would mean his style would have to be offensive for him to trully be at his 100%, but even with my limited combat awareness, the idea of using pull back tactics to frustrate and exhaust an enemy seems to have an automatic advantage against offensive styles unless the agressor has a signifigant advantage in skill or power, which Kallen didn't have thanks to Suzaku's Geass.

kallen's a steamroller
steamrollers hammer at you till your overwhelmed
and if you dont attack back and force them to defend themselves, they can do whatever they want free (trust me, its not limited to mecha combat )
the basic rule of ANY form of combat, be it martial arts, or war or even CHESS
if you dont force the enemy to be defensive, he can act as he pleases, and sooner or later he'll get you
the only way that you can play defensive ALL the time, is if your MUCH better and stronger then the enemy
and he wasnt
plus, why would suzaku act defensive
he wanted to WIN

The Albion was shown as able to block the SEITEN's radiation shots with its shields, and despite its superior 'specs' Suzaku's Geass was able to bridge that gap.
Most one-on-one style combat I've seen demonstrates being defensive as a means of drawing your offensive opponent to you and then manipulating them, and I've generally seen people advised to use defensive tactics and skill if they are overpowered directly, thus defense is usually smarter unless you have a sizeable advantage.
There are plenty of examples in war and Code Geass itself, where an opponent is beaten because they act offensively and this is used to lead them into an ambush (Shinjuku, Saitama, Shikine, flooding the fields in China, Mt. Fuji).
And on trying to win, Kallen's objective was to win by beating Suzaku and then stopping Lelouch. Suzaku's objective was simply not to lose, i.e. survive. As long as he didn't lose, Kallen couldn't risk diverting her attention to finding Lelouch. As long as Lelouch got control of Damocles, he could then say "Surrender or I drop a bunch of FLEIJA with the limiters removed on Japan." Again, she and the BK don't know Damocles lacked rapid fire capabilities.

the battles you mentioned are examples of drawing the enemy into a TRAP
not playing defensive
and your talking strategy
not single combat tactics
what was suzaku going to do, have her roadrunner into the side of a mountein ?
the enemy wont MAKE mistakes if you dont make them sweat
playing defensive against an enemy who can pound on you till you break isnt an option
especially when the enemy in question is every bit as good as you are and isnt likely to make any more mistakes then you are
what was suzaku going to do, fly around like a pilock while kallen crushs into him with the wings on full pinball mode and takes pot shots at his cocpit
if he can bearly fight her to a standstill while in full on geass powered attack mode
what makes you think he could afford to let HER attack him full force while he only defends and runs
eventually, she'd have gotten him, and more likely sooner then later, given the gurens specs
and he was trying to WIN the battle between them
said so himself
he wasnt trying to buy lelouch time (he couldnt know how long it would take lelouch, and lelouch didnt seem in any fucking hurry with nunnaly)
he was trying to remove his enemies, just like he said
why play around buying time at great risk to the plan when he could just take kallen out there and then
LELOUCH might care about kallen enough to want to protect her, but suzaku has not such commitment
she's in the way of ZERO-R

Isn't the point of a trap playing defensive until you get you enemy into a trap? Is the part where you're trying to draw the enemy into the trap not considered being defensive? (I'm not being snide, I honestly know practically nothing about military terminology beyond 'tactics' and 'strategy').
However while the examples I gave may be strategy rather than tactics, they were still examples of letting the enemy believe that they were the ones doing the pressing, they didn't seem to be sweating much until they were caught in the trap itself. The enemy can make mistakes if you let them get overconfident and careless (it's not a guarantee, but neither is the fact that they'll sweat under pressure).
As for the attacking/defending, if he kept her in a position where she had to keep coming to him then couldn't he be argued to have the advantage, since both frames seemed to posses 'pinball' speeds, even if only Kallen could do the wing-fold-shield? Keeping the enemy moving while making minimal movements yourself or something?
Once their wings were off (and possibly before), he could have theoretically used Damocles itself to elude Kallen, using the structure to block, or take a portion of her radiation blasts, missles, and possibly get her harkens stuck in walls. They ran out of energy for their weapons at the same time as things ended up. If Suzaku had been using his environment to block some of Kallens's blasts (this would constitute tactics right?) then he could have had spare power in the shields for continued use as defensive measures or bashing weapons (possibly even slashing, given that they seemed to have pointed edges).
Also, I'm not saying he had to go 100% defense and NOT strike at Kallen if he got an opening, I know he couldn't. He could shift to the offensive for small burst or as it became apporpriate to the situation.
You're right that he directly says he wants to win in the series, but I'm asking about the viability of what ifs, and he knew Kallen couldn't just be taken out like that.
(I've got to sign off here, I'll comeback to this later).

the problem with the idea is that you cant lure the enemy into a trap without SETTING one in advance
faking weakness to lure the enemy into a trap needs for there to BE a trap to lure them into
and he didnt have time to set one
i think you misunderstood what i ment by pressure
i actaully DO practice martial arts
and one of the basic practice rutines is a close combat drill called sticky hands (the hands never lose contact)
the key thing that you learn during this drill is that if you just try to AVOID the enemiy's attacks and not counter them with your own, you'll get beat very soon
becouse the enemy can focus all their effort into attacking you in more and more complex ways while all you do is react
the same goes with chess for example
the only to real make progress in your strategies is to threaten the enemy king and force the enemy to defend it
there by keeping them from attacking YOU
thats what i ment by making them sweat
if you dont apply pressure, the enemy can do what ever they want to you and your left reacting only
and eventually you WILL slip up
his ability to run is also limited by the fact that they are inside the shield
how far could he run
and for how long
the guren might be faster then the albion
in ep 18 and 24 it pulls off moves that makes the trick he used to make bismark crap himself seem like childs play
and how on earth would they have LOST the wings if he didnt try and make her lose them
in the end this whole thing is theory
we dont know what would have happened if suzaku tried playing defensive rather then try and beat her with all he had
my personal opinion (based on what limited experiance i have with fighting) is that if you play defensive against someone of equal skill to you all you are doing is giving them the edge (they can attack you full force without worrying about defending themselves)
and once you commit yourself to defense only, your not likely to have a CHANCE to attack most of the time becouse you'll need all you have to defend agaisnt the opponents full on attack
and in the end, suzaku decided to just beat her and finish it right there

Interesting to know. I've never had the pressuring thing explained to me like that, and it's always good to hear from an experienced perspective. It really adds another level to the saying "The best defense is a good offense."
This may sound like a weird/dumb/both question, but are there any books you could recommend that deal with things like general principles of tactics and strategy? Something other than 'the art of war' (I sadly have yet to read even THAT).

while its in no way a dumb question
its not one that i can answer
most of my know how comes from either actual hands on experiance and way too much history channel
for a good example of seeing how offense in the best defense even when faced with a stronger larger enemy force
i suggest reading about the six day war

what do you mean winning wasnt his main objective
its not like the options are either win OR buy lelouch time
he was trying to do BOTH
he tried to defeat kallen to keep her from stopping lelouch just like he did gino
how ELSE would he have tried to do this other then winning ?

As for who escapes what, assuming Gino wasn't there to save her, the Damocles still has an active shielding system. Gino didn't shut down the whole thing. She'd have hit the shields near the bottom first, then maybe slid off. Plus she's a long way up, plenty of time to come to and eject. There's also plenty more allies in the area to see her falling and save her.

Why might the LEDs on my Back-UPS or Smart-UPS SC be flashing?
Flashing LED lights on Back-UPS Pro, Back-UPS Pro USB, Back-UPS LS, and Smart-UPS SC: causes and definitions
Product Line:
Back-UPS Pro, Back-UPS USB, Back-UPS LS, Back-UPS CS, Back-UPS NS/XS/RS, Smart-UPS SC 620VA and under
BR/BX SKUs, SC420, SC620, SC250RM1U, SC450RM1U
Cause / Resolution:
Green On Line LED: flashing Yellow On Battery LED: on solid
This indicates that the UPS is performing a Self-Test of the battery. If the Self-Test passes, the green On-Line LED will go on solid while the yellow On Battery LED will go off. If it fails the test, the red Replace Battery LED will illuminate. This LED will remain illuminated until the unit passes a Self-Test.
Green On Line and Red Overload LEDs: ALTERNATELY flashing
This indicates that the UPS has entered ""sleep mode"" where the UPS will turn off its output power in an effort to conserve battery power. The UPS is put into ""sleep mode"" by the optional PowerChute shutdown software included with your Back-UPS Pro after it has performed a graceful shutdown of your operating system. Depending on how the PowerChute software is configured (see PowerChute User's Guide) your ups may ""wake up"" when normal power is restored, wake up after a user-defined delay, or may not wake up at all. Once AC power is present, to manually ""wake up"" your UPS, press the On/Test button.
Green On Line LED: on solid
This indicates that the UPS is operating normally on utility power from your wall socket. The battery is not being used at this time.
Yellow On Battery LED: on solid
This indicates that your UPS is operating on battery power. The UPS can only provide power from the battery for a limited time before needing to be recharged. If your UPS is operating on battery power, you should save all open files and shutdown your PC and wait until normal power has been restored. Keep in mind that the UPS will run on battery whenever UPS deems the power is unsafe for your computer equipment.
Red Overload LED: on solid
This indicator is lit whenever equipment connected to the Battery Backup outlets is drawing more power than the UPS can provide. This symptom is also accompanied by a shrill constant tone. If the overload is strong enough, the UPS may shut down and turn off its output power in order to protect its internal circuitry from damage. Each model of Back-UPS Pro is capable of handling a predetermined amount of power draw. For example, the BP350U is rated for 350 Volt Amps (or 220 Watts) and the BP500UC is rated for 500 Volt Amps (or 315 Watts). Verify that the wattage draw from your equipment plugged into the ""battery backed up outlets"" does not exceed the Watt rating (listed in the specification section of the user manual) by using APC's UPS Sizing Tool at
. Try moving one or more pieces of equipment to the ""Surge Protection Only"" outlets.
If the Overload LED remains lit at this point, try turning the unit off then on again. If you have verified that the power draw of your connected equipment does not exceed the watt ratings of the unit, please contact APC's Technical Support. Note: It is normal for the Overload LED to briefly illuminate when turning the UPS on with the equipment connected. When using the UPS as a ""master on/off"" switch, the Overload LED may illuminate briefly when the connected equipment powers up at the same time that the UPS does. This is usually caused by a quick power draw at start up called ""inrush current"".
Red Replace Battery LED: On solid
This indicator is lit whenever the automatic diagnostic test has determined the battery is near the end of its useful life. It is a warning that the battery needs to be replaced within 4 weeks. It does not necessarily mean that the battery is dead. The typical life span of the battery is 2-4 years depending on use and environment (temperature). Before replacing the battery, however, you should let the UPS charge overnight (leave it plugged in, turned on, and with no load attached). Then, perform a self-test manually by pressing and holding the On/Test button until you hear two ""chirps"". You may now release the button.
After pressing the button, you will observe the following events:
1. The green On Line indicator will flash.
2. The yellow On Battery indicator will light while the battery test is performed.
If the UPS passes the Self-Test, the green On Line indicator will be lit and solid. If it fails the test, the red Replace Battery indicator will be lit as well as the green On Line LED. If the UPS fails the test and the unit is still in warranty (3 years from date of purchase), contact APC's Technical Support for further troubleshooting. If the unit is out of warranty, a replacement battery should be ordered from local retailers, APC, or the APC website (www.apcc.com).
ALL LEDs: flashing simultaneously
This signifies an internal fault in the UPS please contact APC's Technical Support and have your model number and serial number ready.
On Line and On Battery LEDs: flashing simultaneously
This signifies that there may be an internal fault in the UPS, please contact APC's Technical Support and have your model and serial number ready.
Overload and Replace Battery: flash simultaneously.
This signifies an internal fault in the UPS, please contact APC's Technical Support and have your model and serial number ready.

ITHACA, NY — With much of the nation basking in record-breaking spring temperatures, the weather anchor for ABC's "Good Morning America" will attempt to provide some insight and analysis in a talk at Ithaca College. Sam Champion will present "Beyond the Daily Forecast: Covering Weather Disasters and Climate Change" on Thursday, March 29, at 7:30 p.m. in Emerson Suites, Phillips Hall. His talk is free and open to the public.
Champion serves as weather editor for ABC News and travels frequently to cover weather-related stories across the country and around the globe. He has reported from the front lines of wildfires in California; hurricanes in Florida, Texas and Louisiana; and winter storm systems in Denver, Chicago and Boston.
As part of the morning show's "New 7 Wonders of the World" series, Champion broadcast live afloat a raft in the middle of the polar ice caps. In 2009, he anchored his first special for the ABC news program "20/20" — "Blown Away: Twisted Terror" — which chronicled the tornado that devastated Parkersburg, Iowa, the previous year.
Champion is also at the forefront of reporting on the environment and climate change. In 2007, he traveled to Paris for the release of a groundbreaking report on global warming by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. He regularly brings tips and information on how to be environmentally efficient and aware with his "Just One Thing" reports.
In addition to covering the weather and the environment, Champion interviews authors, newsmakers and celebrities and hosts the "Good Morning America" summer concert series from Rumsey Playfield in Central Park. Before joining ABC News in September 2006, he spent 18 years at WABC-TV, the network's flagship station in New York City.
The lecture will also serve as the kickoff to a "Media for Social Responsibility" minicourse in the Roy H. Park School of Communications. Each year the course focuses on a topic of global social consequence, with this year's issue being climate change and natural disasters. Students will examine case studies of how media have responded to weather disasters, then work in teams to develop a media strategy for dealing with a mock disaster while being mentored by professionals in the field.
Champion's presentation is part of the Jessica Savitch Distinguished Journalism Lecture Series in the Park School. The series honors the 1968 Ithaca College graduate who became an Emmy Award–winning NBC News anchor and correspondent. Previous speakers have included Lester Holt, Ann Curry, David Muir '95, Andrea Mitchell and Natalie Morales.

That is one tough run - pretty stout for 5.5 miles. That "little" hill gets the heart rate going!!
BTW, how bad was the ice?

Yes that "little" hill does get the hear rate up a bit.
The ice/snow was not bad at all just some in the shaded areas and also towards the end coming down the dirt road was slippery. I could feel my feet slipping several times. No need for spikes though just be careful.

A 36-year-old man was found dead inside a home early Friday morning after a fire in a mobile home park on Elgin's west side.
Brendan Gallaghan was found dead after firefighters responded at 3:06 a.m. Friday to a fire on lot 12 on the northeast end of Bueche's Mobile Home Park at 909 S. McLean Blvd., Elgin Fire Department Assistant Chief Dave Schmidt said.
When firefighters arrived, the home was engulfed and the fire had spread to a nearby home. Both blazes were under control in about 45 minutes, Schmidt said. There were no injuries to emergency responders.
Neighbor Akiel Davis said he was at his computer when he heard a series of loud noises and looked out the window to see flames shooting out of the home next door.
"I ran up to the house, but the flames got so bad that it threw me down on my back," he said. " ... It was so crazy how it happened, just like that."
Schmidt said the heat of the fire was so intense that it ignited some papers and objects in a home next door; the resident wasn't home at the time, he said.
"It was the oddest thing I've ever seen," Schmidt said. "Usually when you have this intense of a fire there is damage, but nothing was discolored, the glass didn't crack. But you looked through the window, and you saw papers on the fire."
Investigators -- including Elgin fire and police, the Illinois State Fire Marshal's Office and the Kane County coroner -- are working to find the cause of the fire, Schmidt said. An autopsy to determine Gallaghan's cause of death will take place sometime next week, he said.
Fire officials had to break the window of the second home to the extinguish the fire, he said.
There was about $70,000 in damages to the first home and $5,000 to the second home, officials said.

Why is the University of Texas naming a chair of Pakistan Studies after the notorious U.S. congressman who helped destabilize that country? Fatima Bhutto—niece of the late Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto—demands an answer.
Pakistan's new government, the only in the world headed by two former convicts—who have their fingers on the button of a nuclear-armed state, no less—is nothing if not a keen purveyor of irony.
There's currently an effort underway by the Pakistani diplomatic mission in Texas to raise funds for a chair of Pakistan Studies at the University of Texas in Austin. The chair, a dream of the Pakistani diplomatic community, is to be named after Charlie Wilson. For those who missed the movie, it's worth noting that of all the people to name a chair of Pakistani Studies after, Charlie Wilson is possibly the stupidest.
Why Pakistan would chose to honor Wilson is beyond everyone, even the Texans.
"Good-Time Charlie," as Wilson was affectionately known by Afghan warlords and Texan socialites alike, has the dubious reputation of being the godfather of what would later be known as the Taliban in Afghanistan. (He was also buddies with Nicaraguan dictator Anastasio Somoza.) In the 1980s, Wilson led Congress into supporting the CIA covert Continue reading →

A year of changes
It's time again for my annual "state of the newspaper address." I'll try not to sound overly enthusiastic. But, you need to remember I'm a salesman at heart and I love to talk about our business and employees and it's been truly an unbelievable year for the Dispatch and Echo Publishing. The list of accomplishments is long. Included are many sizable "once in an eon" projects. It gives me a chance to give us a grade for the year and keeps us accountable to our readers and invites your valuable response. What did we set out to do and what did we actually accomplish? It's my one chance to reflect back, get out the crystal ball and look ahead to the new year.
Two years ago when I wrote my first publisher's column, I remember my niece who read the Dispatch online from Bemidji commenting about how nasty some of the online commenters were. One said, "I bet this new guy doesn't know what he's getting into, or he would run for his life." Well, I'll finally answer that by saying I've just finished two of the most gratifying years of my professional life. I've had the privilege of leading some of the most dedicated and hardworking co-workers you would ever want to be associated with.
Together we have forged ahead to bring the Dispatch and Echo medias into a more relevant position. We continue to improve every day. We're not perfect by any means, but we are sincere and dedicated. And we certainly are producing more with less revenue and people. Don't think of that as complaining. That's the way life is today and we have more than met the challenge. Think of the services you get today compared to five years ago then think about what we produce day in and day out.
2011 was a year of procedural transition — new computers, new communication systems, new software, training and changes in the way we disseminate information. We bought systems and software which allowed us to be much more efficient and mobile.
If 2011 was a year of procedural changes, it allowed 2012 to be a year of physical changes. The communication changes allowed us to be more mobile, literally allowing our employees the ability to have access to their desks from anywhere. This allowed us to accomplish one of our biggest tasks — consolidating our three media companies into one office in Brainerd. This not only saved expenses but allowed us to be more efficient with our people's time and resources thus better serving our communities. Our goal was to make sure we wrote more stories and covered more news in Pequot Lakes, Pine River and the other communities covered by Echo Publishing. I'm proud to say publisher Pete Mohs and his dedicated staff accomplished that goal. Echo Publishing's editorial staff recently won three Minnesota Newspaper Association journalism awards. Starting in 2013, Nancy Vogt will serve as editor of both the Lake Country Echo and Pine River Journal weekly newspapers. Echo Publishing's Pequot Lakes' office remains open from 8 a.m. to noon during the week.
With the consolidation, we hired Keith Hansen, our new VP of Audience Development (editor) and went about the business of restructuring the news department. We also hired a new page designer in Jan Finger to help redesign and train Dispatch employees to be consistent with this new style of publishing. Our goal was to be more user-friendly with our new digital products. We began using bigger photos, more dynamic and colorful page layout with film strips and video included for the digital applications. One of the digital applications was our new iPad app we introduced in March. We also introduced our much improved version of our eEdition. Both use the curated newspaper format of turning what you are reading page by page. Recently on the digital side, Echo introduced its redesigned PineandLakes.com website. Our goal is to continue to build and enhance the best digital products we can. We do the best we can and could be better but we must be doing something right because our audience of digital readership is growing exponentially.
I remember another negative voice from two years ago who said, "The print side is already dead; newspaper owners just refuse to admit it." I say, "Not so!" Since we introduced our award-winning newspaper redesign our circulation has grown, especially on Sundays where we have supplied our readers a record number of inserts in 2012. The big companies still have not figured a way to get a better ROI (return on the investment) than to spend the money on inserting ads into small town newspapers — at least not yet. Yes, they are trying to figure out how to be efficient digitally but still they spend a large portion of their marketing dollars with newspaper distribution.
This year we accelerated our journey of supplying a growing collection of audiences with news and information. The Dispatch still is read daily by 25,000 to 35,000 readers with dramatically different demographics than our other audiences, each of which are quite different. Two years ago we averaged 120,000 unique visitors to brainerddispatch.com. In 2011 that grew to over 200,000 per month. Those numbers have continued to grow in 2012 and last month we set a new record with over 298,000 unique visitors reading our news and information online. Echo's PineandLakes.com averages 145,000 page views monthly and should grow in 2013. Our readers are getting information from whatever source is more convenient. The Dispatch has more than 1,000 readers who have downloaded the iPad app and over 2,500 that read our eEdition online. Finally, we have over 11,000 friends that share our information via Facebook. Yes, we are heavy into the social networks and we are tweeting and blogging daily. We want to reach audience members who are less likely to reach for a newspaper.
None of these changes we have introduced were done without our reader input. We listened by completing an extensive survey this year. We asked what you liked or wanted more of. One of the most frequent negative comments was "It looks like you could still use a good old proofreader..." Our goal was to change that! We're not perfect yet but we have improved in that arena by restructuring the news department to have more proofreading. Plus we have begun using software which will do a better job.
Before the new VP of Audience Development and the redesign, many complained we were too liberal. One comment I remember from two years ago was "Hope...the new publisher has a bit more of a spine when dealing with the boldness of left-leaning editors at the BDD!" Now we get more comments that appreciate what we do, though some may think we've now gone too conservative. One way or the other the comments this year are more positive: "The Dispatch is still the leader in recording news and the history of our local community..." and "It takes effort to produce a good paper and run a clean website and for all the extra energy your group puts into it, I thank you, sincerely, all of you. I would like to wish you all a great New Year and again, thanks!"
No, I thank you for commenting, something that has increased dramatically since we have been writing daily editorials which was part of our redesign. Our goal was to get more reader participation and we now have more feedback than ever before. Our intent is to invite constant and civil discourse. Most of all, remember this — the Brainerd Dispatch, Lake Country Echo and Pine River Journal — these are your newspapers. And that includes their websites and other media serving all of our local communities. Don't hesitate to share your thoughts and opinions.
So what have I missed on the list of major accomplishments?
• We had a major equipment upgrade with the SLS1000 inserter which was purchased and put in place. This machine was worth $750,000 new but we got it for a bit less. This is the third Morris newspaper it has performed in — Jacksonville, Fla., Topeka, Kan., and now us. The project took four months as we rebuilt most of the machine. In the end it will make us 600 percent more efficient on some jobs. Our old machine did seven inserts at 7,000 an hour. The SLS1000 will insert 14 inserts at up to 22,000 an hour.
• We sold Echo's sheet-fed commercial business.
• We bought the Discover Racks.
• We develop popular sections like Tech Savvy.
• We created web-based interview shows like "In the Bleachers" with Wayne "Wheaties" Wallin and the "Sideline View."
• We consolidated all three classified departments into one then did the same with the online department.
• We hosted many training seminars on how to use our online products.
And I would be remiss if I didn't mention that we had a record year in commercial printing. They took on a major preprint account on top of already printing about 25 weekly publications. That's on top of what we produce for ourselves.
One of our steadfast goals is to always continue improving the quality of our products both in content and presentation. Our efforts were rewarded in 2012 when we received five Morris Awards for content and was chosen three times as a "Top Ten Front Page" from Newseum. Plus we have just received word that we have won eight Minnesota Newspaper Association Awards that will be given out in two weeks.
Stage two of the consolidation had to wait until Jan. 1, 2013, which was combining the sales teams of the Dispatch, Echo and the Pine River Journal. Like the news department it required restructuring and new job descriptions and responsibilities. In preparation one more major accomplishment had to be completed this last month; we had to combine the Echo and Dispatch databases into one database, which was a massive job.
After such an enormous year of change, can we expect the pace to continue? For me and my employees, I hope it's a more normal year. What can you expect from us this coming year?
Because the advertising reps will now be working with all of the products — Brainerd Dispatch and Echo Publishing — there is a need for a new "umbrella logo."
Today we introduce our new logo — DE Media. Simply put it stands for Dispatch/Echo Media. Don't be intimidated by this; all the names, logos and masthead will stay the same for all of our products.
What it does mean is you will only have to work with one rep; you will get only one bill and life should be easier.
On the online side there are many exciting, affordable and effective new products and services coming down the line — Engine 212 and Main Street Media to name a couple.
Last year, I said, if not promised you in my column: "Our franchise and the communities' trust has always centered on our local news. Most of our changes in the last year, and those yet to come, have been made so we are able to rededicate ourselves and our resources to better serving our communities. It may not seem like it sometimes to the readers who want us to do even more, but a year from now, I plan on writing this column and extolling our successes."
I believe we have done all that we set out to do this year. I believe it was done with a lot of blood, sweat and tears from our dedicated and professional employees. These improvements, products and services are expensive and time consuming. Because of that, by the middle of the year we will ask you our readers to help pay for the digital services you've been using in some small way. You will be hearing about something we call All Access which has been successfully launched in most of our metro papers. One of the things we heard when we offered our iPad app is why aren't you charging me to get this?
Thanks for all your continued support. All of it keeps 100 dedicated co-workers employed and working for you! It has been truly humbling this year at the number of times people have sent us notes, cards, emails, or have walked across the room to say "I love what you are doing with the newspaper." The irony is that in a lot of cases, it wasn't just the newspaper. They also meant the iPad app, the websites, the eEdition, our magazines, and on and on.
And for that, we thank you.
TIM BOGENSCHUTZ is publisher of the Brainerd Dispatch.

DENVER — Colorado Avalanche goalie Semyon Varlamov is accused of assaulting his girlfriend, kicking her in the chest and dragging her by the hair, and was scheduled to appear before a judge today.
The 25-year-old turned himself into police Wednesday evening, after practicing with the team that day. He was arrested on suspicion of second-degree kidnapping and third-degree assault.
His arrest warrant details the alleged assault, which took place Monday. In addition to kicking the woman, police say Varlamov told her in Russian that if this were Russia, he would have beat her more.
Varlamov's attorney, Jack Rotole, declined to comment on the case going into Varlamov's court appearance. Rotole told The Associated Press he planned to talk to the judge about the probable cause affidavit, but he wouldn't elaborate.
Varlamov's agent, Paul Theofanous, said Varlamov "is completely innocent of all of these charges."
The Avalanche said in a statement they were aware of the allegations but wouldn't comment further until the conclusion of the investigation.
Acquired from Washington in a 2011 trade, Varlamov is 7-1 this season with a 1.76 goals-against average. On Sunday night, he made 24 saves in a 3-2 home victory over Winnipeg.
The Avalanche play at Dallas on Friday night and Varlamov was scheduled to start. His backup, Jean-Sebastien Giguere, has been just as good in net, recording two shutouts.
Varlamov is in the midst of a resurgent season under new coach Patrick Roy and a staff that includes goalie guru Francois Allaire, who once mentored Roy and Giguere.
Between Roy and Allaire, they've restored Varlamov's confidence a year after he allowed three goals a game. Varlamov said he credits his improvement to Allaire altering his form in goal. Just minor tweaks, he said, but wouldn't elaborate on the specifics of what they were.
Whatever was changed, it has been paying off as he's among the NHL leaders in goals-against, wins and save percentage (.945).
After practice Wednesday, Avalanche defenseman Erik Johnson said it was "pretty cool to see Varly transition into an elite NHL goalie."

Fans are invited to attend a select number of practices during the camp, all free of charge. Once again this year the Titans will conduct all training camp practices at Baptist Sports Park, where the vast majority of the team's camps have been conducted since the team moved to Tennessee in 1997. The Titans held camp at Tennessee State University from 1997-98, Baptist Sports Park's Bellevue location in 1999 and their current facility in Nashville's MetroCenter since 2000. In 2006, they spent two weeks on campus at Austin Peay University in Clarksville, Tenn., before finishing their training at Baptist Sports Park.
Located just five minutes from downtown Nashville, Baptist Sports Park is located at 460 Great Circle Rd.
PRACTICE TIMES: Training camp practices typically begin at 8:30 a.m. and/or 3:30 p.m. Three traditional "two-a-days" are scheduled, giving fans an opportunity to see the team in action during the morning and afternoon hours on the same day, an ideal arrangement for out-of-town fans seeking to watch a maximum amount of practice in a brief period of time. A complete schedule with exact dates and times will be announced later this off-season.
AUTOGRAPHS: Every player on the Titans roster will take part in a free autograph session after practice at least once during training camp. Generally, three or four players are assigned to the autograph schedule each day, and usually the players sign autographs along the sideline of the field nearest to the fan entrance. The players' time is limited, however, and fans are not guaranteed to receive autographs. On days there are two practices open to the public, veteran players will sign autographs only following the second practice session, while rookies designated for that day will sign following both the morning and afternoon sessions. Additional players may choose to sign autographs at their discretion. The autograph schedule is released approximately one week in advance at titansonline. com and through various media outlets.
* Please note, the autograph schedule is subject to change without notice
DRESS APPROPRIATELY: Fans should dress appropriately for the heat of Middle Tennessee. Training camp practices often take place during the hottest portions of the day, and there are very few shaded areas overlooking the practice fields at Baptist Sports Park.
ACCESS TO PRACTICE IS ON A FIRST-COME, FIRST-SERVED BASIS: Although overcrowding is rare at training camp practices, there is a limit to the number of fans who can safely attend practices. Fans arriving first will be given first priority.
MERCHANDISE AND CONCESSIONS: A merchandise tent will be open during all practices, selling a variety of Titans goods and apparel. The merchandise tent will be located at the entrance to the practice field. Additionally, a concession stand selling ice cold Coca-Cola products will be open during all practices. Fans are permitted to bring their own refreshments. However, tobacco products and alcoholic beverages are strictly prohibited.
VIDEO CAMERAS PROHIBITED: Fans are not permitted to use video cameras during training camp practices and are asked to not bring them onto the premises. However, "still" photography cameras are permitted.
WEATHER CONDITIONS: The safety of fans and players is the organization's top priority during training camp practices. If inclement weather, particularly lightening, is moving into the area, practice may be moved to the team's indoor practice "bubble," where fans are not permitted due to space restrictions. Practice also is subject to be moved indoors due to extreme heat conditions. Upon inclement weather, fans may be asked to depart the practice facility.

Any kid who steps onto a playing field in their youth entertains at least a passing thought of someday being a big league ballplayer. On Thursday at St. Catharine College, 154 registered participants revisited those aspirations as they took part in a tryout camp conducted by the Major League Baseball Scouting Bureau.
Boys and girls across Washington County are having some summertime fun by hitting the T-ball fields at Idle Hour Park. Here are some photos from recent play.
Washington County Little League baseball teams wrapped up their seasons last week with the Dodgers winning 1-0 over the Braves for the 9-10-year-old championship and the Red Sox taking the 11-12-year-old title.
For the 9-10 championship, it was the Dodgers and the Braves going at it for the title. The Braves sent Landon Taylor to the mound, while the Dodgers countered with Luke Abell.
Mother Nature wasn't cooperating this weekend as the rains fell during the 2010 Washington County Relay for Life. But while attendance was down, the event still managed to raise more than $27,000 for the American Cancer Society.
"With the economy the way it is, I was hoping to reach $20,000," said Cathy Carrico, a member of the Relay committee. "We still have some money coming in, and our fundraising for the year ends in August, so we're hoping to get a little more."
The Washington County 4-H Sharpshooters trap and archery teams kicked off their summer competitions on May 15 with the Spencer County Invitational competition. They followed that competition with the Washington/Marion County Invitational competition on June 5. Results from both competitions are listed below. The pistol and rifle teams will begin their summer competitive events on June 26 at the District 4 Invitational that will be held at the Mercer County Gun Club. Watch the Springfield Sun for results from the various competitions for shooting sports and other 4-H
Taxation with representation – that was the rallying cry for several residents of East High Street in Springfield at the June 8 meeting of the Springfield City Council. A group of citizens concerned about issues such as loitering, noise, littering and general disregard for private property turned out to speak with council members.
It's not uncommon to say someone grew up on a farm in Washington County, and it's as true of Jordan Settles as it is of anyone you'll meet. Not only did he grow up on a farm, the 19-year-old literally grew up farming.
