Frequently Asked Questions by Affiliates, for Affiliates - Admin
Beginner's Reference Guide | Admin | Interface | Technical | ShopWindow | ShopWindow Coding FAQ | Wiki FAQ
What is a Merchant?
A merchant (retailer) is an online company who sell their products and/or services through an Affiliate Network. The merchant will pay a percentage/set amount once a transaction has completed. To find out more information on what merchants will pay - please visit the Join Merchants in your Affiliate Account.
What is an Affiliate?
An affiliate (also known as a publisher or advertiser) is somebody whose purpose is to drive traffic to a merchant. They can do this by featuring the banners, text links or products of a merchant on their site.
How do Affiliates make money
If a user is browsing on an affiliates site, sees a product they like and clicks on the link (which takes them through to the merchant page) the affiliate will not be paid.
If however, the user then purchases this product, the affiliate will be paid as they have provided the merchant with a customer.
What Kind of Affiliate am I?
True Content
True Content sites are generally informative sites that provide information relating to the products that are featured on their site.
Forums are interactive sites where internet users go to discuss issues that they are interested in.
Blogs are usually online diaries. They vary in content and will usually put links to products that they are 'blogging' about.
Shopping Directories
If you are a shopping directory affiliate you will simply provide a list of all the merchants on your site, including a short description about what they do and occasionally providing reviews of their services.
ShopWindow partners
Shopwindow partners make use of the shopwindow tools and functionality to help power their website.
Voucher Codes
Voucher code affiliates are given voucher codes by merchants which they feature on their site.
E-mail Marketing
E-mail marketing affiliates collect e-mail addresses of members of the public and send them details of offers/deals. They usually have information about the owners of the email addresses, such as their age, location, interests or hobbies, which they can use to split their database into sections and only email certain groups with certain offers or products.
Price Comparison
Price Comparison sites provide an easy to use service that allows users to compare the prices of specific products from a range of merchants.
Cashback and Reward
Cashback and Reward affiliates give a percentage of the commission that they earn back to their users. In the case of cashback affiliates, this is in the form of cash and in the case of reward affiliates, this is in the form of 'points' which can be redeemed to purchase other goods.
Corporate Intranet
If you provide companies with an intranet service that offers its users discounts at retailers then you would be a Corporate Intranet affiliate.
Social Networking
Social Networking affiliates are primarily used for socialising with friends but sometimes they have banners or applications that encourage users to shop.
Pay Per Click (PPC)
PPC affiliates promote merchants via search engines such as google. PPC stands for Pay Per Click, so a PPC ffiliate pays the search engine each time a user clicks on their link.
How do I get traffic to my site?
There are two main ways to get traffic to your site: SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) and PPC (Pay per click)
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" (or "organic") search results. The higher a site or page is listed or "ranked", the more visible it will be as well as more relevant to the user. This can increase the volume and quality of traffic to your site.
In order to improve the ranking of your site you need to consider how search engines work and what people search for. Optimising your website will therefore involve editing and improving content in order to improve it's natural search listings
Pay per click involves paying a search engine every time a user clicks on a link that to visit either a merchant's website or your own website. You will typically bid on keyword phrases relevant to your target market to ensure that you only pay when you believe there is a chance of a sale.
When a user types a keyword query matching your keyword list, your advertisement may be displayed. These advertisements are called sponsored links or sponsored ads, and appear adjacent to or above the "natural" or organic results on search engine results pages. Content websites commonly charge a fixed price for a click.
How does Affiliate Window track sales?
Affiliate Window tracks all sales made using AW affiliate links by using cookies.
The tracking process:
1. The user visits an affiliate site
2. The user clicks through from the affiliate site to the merchant site
3. AW drop a cookie on the user's PC to show the user has been there
4. The user is directed to the merchant website and AW drop another cookie from the merchant's domain
5. The user purchases an item from the merchant site
6. The merchant confirmation page contains the AW tracking tag
7. AW link the merchant tracking with the previous cookies dropped on the user's PC
8. The affiliate commission is accepted or declined based on the above tracking and information provided by the merchant about the transaction
9. Affiliates can see these commissions in their AW interface
Notes on point 3:
The cookie which is dropped is referred by the Affiliate Window system and is stored on the affiliate window domain. This would be considered a 3rd party cookie from a merchant's perspective. There are three kinds of links a user could click on to move from an affiliate site.
1) A text link. This would be an AW link behind a hyperlink in some text on the affiliate site.
2) A banner. This would be an AW link behind a merchant banner or logo on the affiliate site.
3) A product feed. This is when an affiliate uses a data-feed from a merchant to display particular products on their affiliate site, in conjunction with AW's ShopWindow tool. There is an AW link behind each one of these products.
Notes on point 4:
The merchant would have already added a small script onto all pages which will allow for our system to send through a unique variable to then be stored on the domain URL. This would be considered a 1st Party cookie from a merchant's perspective.
Notes on point 5:
A sale is only tracked if it is completed. This means that the user has to submit all information and payment details required by the merchant and reach the merchant 'confirmation page' before it will be tracked as a sale and an affiliate paid commission. If a user leaves the transaction part-way through the payment process the sale will not be tracked and the affiliate will receive no commission.
Notes on point 6:
When a merchant starts to work with Affiliate Window, they implement AW tracking on their site, so that AW can match this information to the information stored in the affiliate links, and in the cookies dropped on the user's PC.
Notes on point 7:
Affiliate Window works on a 'last referrer' policy. This means that if a user visits 2 affiliate sites before purchasing something from a merchant, the last affiliate site they visit will receive the commission.
If both affiliates are using AW links, AW will overwrite the first cookie with a second one to show the second affiliate should receive the commission. This means there will only ever be one AW cookie per transaction on a user's PC.
If one affiliate is using AW links and the other affiliate is using links for a different affiliate network, the merchant will provide data to AW and the other network to show which affiliate should receive the commission. This process is called 'de-duplication'.

Between McCarthy era testimony, a slew of unbelievably bad 1960's LPs, and Claymation snowmen, it's pretty easy to forget that at one time, Burl Ives was a dynamic and convincing performer of American folk songs. When I picked this 78 album up at a local junk store, the latter day Burl was on my mind and it languished on my shelves for some time. I'm glad I finally gave these discs a spin, though, because they're wonderful.
This album of three 78rpm discs was recorded and released by Asch Records (Moses Asch, later to found the Folkways label) in 1944. Asch 78s of this era are notoriously lo-fi and noisy, but enjoyable nonetheless. Incidentally, Columbia released an 78 set by Ives in 1944 with the same title, but comprised of different tunes.
1. Poor Wayfaring Stranger, Buckeyed Jim
2. The Bold Soldier, The Sow Took The Measels
3. The Foggy Foggy Dew
4. Black Is The Color
5. The Blue Tail Fly
6. Henry Martin (Pirate Ballad)

A common refrain at the Adobe booth at GDC Online has been, "wait, that game is running in Flash? I didn't know Flash could do that!" With games ranging from previews of high-end games running in the browser – like Herokon or Kings Road on Facebook – to great indie games already available in the AppStore like Wonderputt and Super Hexagon for the iPad, we had lots of amazing games to show off, and some great conversations. Developers stopped by to talk, try games out, and exclaim at the possibilities now available to them to get great 2D and 3D games to market.
While the draw was all the great games at the Adobe booth, it also gave the Adobe team a chance to show and tell developers how to deliver their C/C++ and Unity games in the Flash Player, and highlight how the soon to be released Adobe Flash Runtime C++ Compiler (flasCC) can help game developers cross compile their games to reach a global audience of over 1.3 billion desktops and over 500 million smartphones and tablets. Since the Adobe Gaming team took root last year, we've been talking to publishers and game developers at conferences and events throughout the country. We still have some more people to impress, but an increasing number of game developers and publishers are looking to Adobe to help with reach, game discovery, and monetization across platforms and devices, including the Apple AppStore, Google Play, and Amazon Appstore.
Adobe Gaming technology was also highlighted at the 2012 GDC Developers Choice Online Awards. Many of our partners were nominated this year, and chose to develop their award winning, cutting edge games using Flash Player and AIR because it works. We're very proud of the nominees and winners who put their heart and soul into creating visually stunning and rich gaming experiences made possible with Adobe Game Development technology.
It's been a great GDC Online, and a fantastic opportunity for the Adobe Gaming team to meet some new game developers as well as greet old friends. If you're looking to build your own titles for Flash Player and AIR, check out our Adobe Gaming site at gaming.adobe.com to find out more, and see what your fellow game developers have already done with Adobe Game Dev technologies!

Story highlights
- "The U.S. is making fun of Pakistan by killing its people," a Pakistani lawmaker says
- Relations between the U.S. and Pakistan have been strained by recent events
- Senior military officials held their first meeting since the airstrikes
- The talks come a day after President Obama met with the Pakistani prime minister
Top U.S. and Pakistani military officials held face-to-face meetings in Islamabad on Wednesday in the first high-level talks since NATO airstrikes killed two dozen Pakistani soldiers in November.
Gen. James Mattis and Gen. John Allen discussed "bilateral matters, professional interests and the emerging geo-strategic situation of the region" with Gen. Khalid Shameem Wynne, the chairman of Pakistan's joint chiefs of staff, according to a statement from the Pakistani military.
Mattis is the chief of the U.S. Central Command, while Allen commands the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan. The meeting lasted "for some time," the Pakistani statement said.
The American commanders also met with Gen. Asfaq Parvez Kayani, Pakistan's army chief of staff, to discuss the investigation into the November 26 airstrikes that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers on the Pakistani-Afghan border, the military said.
U.S. and Pakistani officials have disagreed about the causes and circumstances of the episode, and the attack put a severe strain on ties between Washington and Islamabad. The generals' meeting Wednesday addressed the issue of coordinating the different forces near the Pakistani-Afghan border, which was highlighted as one of the factors contributing to the killing of the soldiers.
In South Korea on Tuesday, President Barack Obama met with Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani for the first time since the soldiers' deaths. Obama expressed hope that the United States and Pakistan could arrive at a "balanced approach" to relations in the aftermath of the airstrikes.
An investigation into the lethal NATO airstrikes in November by Brig. Gen. Stephen Clark, on behalf of the United States, concluded that Pakistan provoked NATO forces and that distrust between the two parties led to the firefight.
Pakistan disputed the findings, saying Clark's report was factually incorrect. Relations between military officials from the two countries are tense, with the deaths of the Pakistani soldiers adding to anger over the U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden at a compound in Pakistan last May.
Following the fatal airstrikes, the Pakistani government shut down the two NATO supply routes in the country, asked the United States to vacate an air base on its territory and boycotted a conference about the future of Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, Pakistani lawmakers are expected this week to start debating a committee's recommendation that the United States stop drone strikes inside its territory and apologize unconditionally for the November airstrikes. Maulvi Asmatullah, an independent member of parliament, said Wednesday that "The U.S. is making fun of Pakistan by killing its people."
And Zafar Baig, another independent but a supporter of Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani's ruling coalition, said the United States is not "our uncle." He said Pakistan's former military ruler, Pervez Musharraf, "sold our dignity and honor by getting dollars. Now we have to get it back."
"Our Afghan brothers have been giving sacrifices for us for a long time," Baig said. "We should support them rather than the oppressor U.S."

The directorial debut of Lewis Allen, 1944's The Uninvited stars Ray Milland as Roderick Fitzgerald, a composer and piano player who, along with his sister Pamela (Ruth Hussey), and their terrier Bobby, is exploring the remote English coast. When the dog goes after a squirrel, the chase leads through an open window into a massive old home that seems to be abandoned. The two head in after their dog and explore the place and when they find out that it's for sale, naturally they are interested. Pamela notes that this would be a great spot for Roderick to work on his music and as he agrees, they set out to talk to the owner, an older gentleman named Commander Beech (Donald Crisp). Upon their arrival they're greeted by his granddaughter, Stella Meredith (Gail Russell), who tells them that the house is not for sale and tries to usher them out as quickly as she can. The Commander arrives just in time, however, and they sit down to negotiate. The Fitzgerald's offer him a ridiculously low price figuring he'll never take it but he does, and then warns them that there are stories that the house is haunted. He assures them, however, that these are just that… stories, and nothing more. After all, the winds of the Atlantic Ocean can make some eerie noises inside a big, old house.
After Roderick and Pamela move in, they spot Stella out on the front lawn, her behavior makes them a little suspicious. It turns out she had just come by to apologize, and soon enough she and Roderick are becoming more than just acquaintances. This is much to the dismay of the Commander, who makes it quite clear that he wants her kept far away from that house. After the arrival of their superstitious Irish housekeepr, Lizzy Flynn (Barbara Everest), they start to hear a woman sobbing in the middle of the night, though the house is empty save for themselves. As things start to get stranger around the house, Roderick takes it upon himself to uncover the truth about what really happened here and quickly realizes it ties into the Meredith family's past. The town physician, Doctor Scott (Alan Napier), assists them and soon enough they realize that the involvement of a woman named Miss Holloway (Cornelia Otis Skinner), who runs a mental hospital named in honor of Stella's mother, may hold the key to the truth.
Beautifully shot by cinematographer Charles Lang (whose work on this picture was nominated for an Academy Award), The Uninvited holds up remarkably well almost seventy years since it first unspooled in theaters. A large part of the picture's success is due to Lang's work, as he really manages to make the most of the old house where so much of the story unfolds. Shadows hide eerie detail until the light of a candle illuminates things and interesting angles are used to help build tension and unease throughout the story. The lighting is excellent and the locations couldn't have been better. This really is the perfect place for a ghost story to be told.
Of course, this would all amount to style over substance if the storyline and the acting weren't up to par but thankfully this is not the case. Milland is great as the leading man here, he's quick with a quip to diffuse a tense situation (in fact, much of his dialogue is surprisingly comedic, an aspect of the script that would seem at odds with the straight way in which the scarier parts of the story are delivered) and likeable enough that we can see why Stella would be intrigue by him. Ruth Hussey as his sister isn't give quite as much to do but she's good in her role here too. Gail Russell, who had only two bit parts to her resume before being cast here, does a great job in her part. Her work here is infamous in that it was widely reported she was so nervous on set that she started drinking to calm herself, which would sadly lead to an alcohol abuse problem that would claim her life in her thirty-sixth year. She's convincing enough in the part and quite beautiful. It's also amusing to see Alan Napier here in a supporting role long before he'd be immortalized as Alfred in the sixties live action Batman TV series, while Cornelia Otis Skinner manages to steal every scene she's in.
The story unfolds at a good pace, not so fast as to push character development in the side but quick enough that at an hour and forty minutes it's never dull. The supernatural angle of the subject matter is treated seriously and with enough respect to make it work. While the film does sometimes deal in comedic elements, these don't crossover into the scenes involving the haunting. The end result is a well-made and very creative movie, one that is not only beautiful to look at but which properly exploits what its talented cast is able to bring to the table as well.
Criterion brings The Uninvited to Blu-ray framed at 1.33.1 in AVC encoded 1080p high definition. Given the age of the movie and the fact that so much of it takes place inside and in the dark, the transfer here is excellent. Contrast looks very good, it never blooms, while black levels stay quite deep. Detail remains strong even in the darker scenes where shadows seem to be encroaching from every corner of the frame. Watch the scene where Milland's character plays on the piano for Gail Russell's character, as the candle dims the image obviously gets much darker but you can still very clearly see what's going on. Some minor specks and scratches are evident on the image but overall the movie looks very good on Blu-ray.
The only audio option on the disc is an English language DTS-HD Mono track. Optional closed captioning is provided in English only (you can't select it from the menu screen but it's easily enabled through your remote). Quality of the track is pretty solid. It's a little limited in range, which isn't surprising given the age and limitations of the original source material, but the single channel mix sounds authentic enough. Dialogue stays clean and clear and there are no problems with hiss or distortion. The score sounds nice and some of the sound effects used have nice presence to them, the most obvious example being the film's infamous 'crying' scene. All in all, a nice effort from Criterion here.
The main extra on the disc is a twenty-seven minute 'visual essay' from filmmaker Michael Almereyda entitled Giving Up The Ghost. This is a well edited piece that includes loads of stills and clips from not only the feature but also a few other titles related to the cast and crew that worked on the film. We get some great background information on Milland as well as on Russell and on Allen and throughout all of this Almereyda makes the case for the film's historical and artistic value. There's good flow to this. What could have very easily come across as stuffy and too academic for its own good turns out to be a very accessible piece that manages to strike just the right balance of interesting and informative trivia and insightful criticism. It makes for a great primer on the film and those who made it.
The disc also includes two different radio adaptations of the source material, one from 1944 and the other from 1949, both clocking in at just shy of a half an hour in length and both starring Ray Milland. Obviously these are much shorter than the feature film version and so they inevitably have to cut out bits and pieces but they do make for interesting alternate takes on the source and their inclusion here is quite welcome.
Outside of that, we get the film's theatrical trailer, menus and chapter stops. As is the norm with Criterion's releases, inside the case there is a nice booklet of liner notes containing an essay on the merits and historical significance of the picture written by film critic Farran Smith Nehme and an interesting interview with director Lewis Allen conducted in 1997 in which he shares some stories of working with the cast and crew he assembled for this picture.
Lewis Allen's The Uninvited is every bit the classic that its reputation would have you believe. It's a remarkable debut for the then first time director and a great showcase not only for some rich and often times very spooky atmosphere but also some excellent performances from a talented cast. More than just a ghost story, this is 'classic Hollywood' at its best with all the romance, drama and comedy you could want to sit alongside some effective moments of horror. Criterion's Blu-ray release is a strong one, offering the movie up in excellent condition and with some solid extra features as well. Highly recommended.

TECO Peoples Gas and Tampa Electric remind homeowners to call 811 before digging
April is National Safe Digging Month; Call for free service before you start any size project in your yard
TAMPA, April 15, 2014
With warmer days and longer evenings, it's prime time for planting and other outdoor projects – and it's a perfect time to remind homeowners to always call 811 before digging.
Throughout April, Sunshine 811, Peoples Gas, Tampa Electric and other utilities are promoting National Safe Digging Month. The campaign is designed to remind Florida's residents of the complex network of wires, cables and pipelines located underground. Striking one of these underground utility lines while digging could injure you or others, disrupt service to an entire neighborhood, and potentially result in fines and repair costs.
No matter the size of the project – from simple landscaping like planting trees or shrubs, to placing a fence or installing a mailbox – you must call 811 before every digging project. There are 170,000 underground utilities damaged annually across the nation, and one out of every three incidents is the result of not calling 811.
Here's how it works :
- One free, simple phone call to 811 makes it easy for Sunshine 811 to notify all appropriate utility companies of your intent to dig.
- Call at least two full business days before digging to give utility companies enough time to properly mark their lines. (That means if you're digging on Saturday, you must call no later than Wednesday.)
- When you call 811, you will be asked for the location and description of your digging project.
- Sunshine 811 notifies affected utility companies who then send a professional locator to the proposed dig site to mark the approximate location of underground equipment.
- Once lines have been properly marked, roll up those sleeves and dig carefully within 24 inches of any marks in your project area. Don't remove flags or markings on your property – you might not be aware of a nearby project.
Visit sunshine811.com for more information about 811 and the call-before-you-dig process. You also can visit peoplesgas.com/safety and tampaelectric.com/safety for more safety tips.
Tampa Electric, one of Florida's largest investor-owned electric utilities, and TECO Peoples Gas System, Florida's largest natural gas distribution utility, are part of the TECO Energy family of companies. Tampa Electric serves almost 700,000 customers in West Central Florida, and Peoples Gas serves almost 350,000 customers in most of Florida's major metropolitan areas and beyond. TECO Energy Inc. (NYSE: TE) is an energy-related holding company with regulated electric and gas utility operations in Florida. TECO Energy's other major subsidiary, TECO Coal, owns and operates coal-production facilities in Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia.

Carolina Breast Cancer Study enrolls record 3,000 participants
This milestone makes the Carolina Breast Cancer Study the largest-ever population-based study of breast cancer in North Carolina and one of the largest in the world.
Thursday, Nov. 14, 2013

Researchers leading the Carolina Breast Cancer Study (CBCS) have enrolled the 3,000th participant for the study's third phase, making it the largest-ever population-based study of breast cancer in North Carolina and one of the largest in the world. This milestone completes enrollment and initiates the five year follow-up.
Launched in 1993, the study aims to improve understanding of breast cancer, including why the disease's fatality rate is higher in African-American women. Phase III will focus specifically on how treatment decisions, access to care, and financial or geographic barriers impact breast cancer outcomes and whether these outcomes are predictable or altered by genetic breast cancer subtypes. This recent enrollment milestone puts the total number of CBCS participants at over 7,300.
The latest study phase was named after the late Jeanne Hopkins Lucas. She was the first African-American woman to become a North Carolina state senator and she died of breast cancer in 2007. CBCS is conducted by the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health and UNC School of Medicine faculty with funding from the University Cancer Research Fund, the National Cancer Institute, UNC Breast SPORE and Susan G. Komen for the Cure®.
Participants were identified from a list of newly diagnosed breast cancer patients provided by the North Carolina Central Cancer Registry (NCCCR), which identifies and registers all new cancer diagnoses in the state. Participants were then selected through a scientifically sound, randomized process, and physicians were notified of the study's intent to contact their patient.
"We are so grateful for the tremendous interest and cooperation from the women approached for the study and our network of physicians and health care providers across the state to connect us with their patients," said Andy Olshan, PhD, the study's principal investigator and associate director of population sciences at UNC Lineberger.
Study participants were interviewed in their homes by trained nurses regarding breast cancer risk factors, quality of life, and medical history. A DNA blood or mouth rinse sample was also taken to help determine genetic factors that women have that might change their risk of getting breast cancer or change their response to therapy. A sample of their tumor is also obtained to understand the molecular changes that occur in their individual tumor.
Researchers also requested the participants' permission to access their medical records relating to breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, and to follow them for at least five years. All data will be held in strict confidence.
This landmark study, initiated 20 years ago by UNC Lineberger in the Breast Cancer SPORE grant, has changed the world's thinking about breast cancer and associated risk factors. "Dividing the diagnosis of breast cancer into at least four subtypes allowed the first phases of CBCS to determine that younger African American women were more likely to have an aggressive breast cancer subtype. The findings also showed that outcomes and even risk factors such as childbearing, weight and alcohol differed by subtype," said Shelton Earp, MD, UNC Lineberger Director. "CBCS III will delve deeper into the molecular genetics of subtypes in younger and older women and will follow women and their treatment. The findings will vastly improve our understanding of what works and what does not in community setting."
"This type of data will help us understand how genetic factors in the person and their tumor interact with treatment and access to health care. We can ask questions as to what influences survival, complications and quality of life. Specific modifiable factors such as breastfeeding and physical activity that could lower a women's risk of breast cancer are also being investigated," said Olshan.
The study also aims to further investigate subtypes of breast cancer that may be associated with different risk factor and prognosis profiles, continuing discoveries made in earlier phases of the study.
"CBCS participants are the real heroes; they will be contributing to changing our understanding of breast cancer therapy for their sisters and daughters," said Mary Beth Bell, MPH, who currently manages the study. "To celebrate the 3000th patient, we held four symposia for participants to learn more about the study this fall in Wilmington, Greenville, Concord and Chapel Hill."
Data from earlier CBCS research were key to a 2006 finding by a UNC Lineberger team that included the late Dr. Robert Millikan, PhD, DVM, Charles Perou, PhD, professor of genetics and pathology, and Lisa Carey, MD, physician-in chief of the N.C. Cancer Hospital and chief of the Division of Hematology and Oncology in the Department of Medicine. They found that premenopausal African-American breast cancer patients have the highest prevalence of a subtype of breast cancer called "basal like" cancer.
Editor Notes:
- Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women.
- According to the American Cancer Society, there will be close to 233,000 new breast cancers diagnosed this year in the United States. Of those, as many as 7,600 are projected to be diagnosed in North Carolina this year.

|Thunnus (1)
One of the largest of the tunas (2), the Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) has been called a 'pinnacle of fish evolution', referring to its remarkable swimming ability (3). Its body, shimmering deep metallic blue above and silvery white on the underside (2), is well adapted for a life wandering the vast oceans. It is deep bodied, but flattened from side to side, and tapers to a point before the sickle-shaped tail fin, which can power the tuna with ease through the water (3). Colourless lines and rows of dots may be visible on the lower sides and belly (4). The Atlantic bluefin tuna has two dorsal fins; the first may be yellow or blue, while the second, taller dorsal fin, is reddish-brown (2) (4). The second dorsal fin is followed by seven to ten yellow finlets, edged with black, which run down the back toward the tail (2).
The Atlantic bluefin tuna spawns at just a few locations. In the Pacific Ocean, spawning takes place off the Philippines, while in the Atlantic, this tuna spawns only in the Mediterranean between June and August, and in the Gulf of Mexico, between April and June (2) (4). During these periods, females release up to ten million eggs into the ocean (4), which are carried substantial distances by currents. From these eggs hatch tiny larvae; initially measuring just three millimetres long, the larvae grow at a rate of one millimetre per day (2). The Atlantic bluefin tuna is a slow growing and long-lived species, maturing between the ages of four and five years in the Mediterranean and at eight years in the Gulf of Mexico (5) and living for up to 30 years (3).
In schools of similar-sized individuals, the Atlantic bluefin tuna cruises the oceans in search of food, often joining schools with other tuna, such as albacore, yellowfin and bigeye (4). The Atlantic bluefin tuna has two types of muscle; one suited to long-distance, continuous swimming (a bluefin tuna can cross the Atlantic Ocean in less than 60 days (2), the other providing short, fast bursts of speed (3). Reaching speeds of 45 miles per hour (2), the Atlantic bluefin tuna employs this explosive swimming power when in pursuit of small schooling fish, such as anchovies, while it swims slowly with its mouth open to catch small slow-moving prey, such as red crab (4). When wandering the expansive oceans, the Atlantic bluefin tuna tends to stay fairly close to the surface, but it is capable of diving to depths of 1,000 metres when in pursuit of prey (3). A fascinating system of blood vessels prevents any heat created through exertion being lost to the surroundings, thus allowing this tuna to swim in water too cold for other fish (3).
The Atlantic bluefin tuna has been observed undertaking seasonal migrations in some areas of its range. During the summer months, bluefin tuna migrate northwards along the coast of Japan and the Pacific coast of North America (4), while migrations across the oceans have also been observed (2). Small deposits of magnetite in the heads of tuna are believed to act like a built-in compass, enabling the tuna to orientate itself in its vast habitat by picking up the earth's magnetic field (3).
The Atlantic bluefin tuna occurs in subtropical and temperate waters throughout the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans (4).
This fast-swimming predator is an oceanic species, inhabiting the upper waters that are reached by sunlight, but it may also sometimes come near to shore. It can tolerate a wide range of temperatures (4).
With its large size and high quality flesh, the Atlantic bluefin tuna has long been a favourite of fishermen and a highly valued delicacy in Japan (3). Its popularity has led to severe exploitation in several areas, particularly the North Atlantic Ocean (2). Despite catch quotas being in place, limits are often not respected and catches are frequently under-reported (5). Unless adequate management measures are quickly implemented and, most importantly, enforced, the collapse of some Atlantic bluefin tuna stocks is a real possibility (5). It is thought that the Critically Endangered western Atlantic stock may have already collapsed, the result of overfishing and poor management. This stock is now in grave danger of extinction (6).
In the Mediterranean, where adult Atlantic bluefin tuna decreased by 80 percent between around 1979 and 1999, tuna ranching now poses the greatest threat to the survival of this species. Tuna are captured alive and taken to one of the many ranches that have spread along the Mediterranean coast, where they are fed and fattened for months; the enormous amounts of fish needed to feed the tuna during this time is itself a matter of great concern. The tuna is then sold, primarily to Japan, creating a lucrative business that is considered to be the main force driving illegal and unreported fishing (7).
In 1966, the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) was formed, taking responsibility for the conservation of tunas in the Atlantic Ocean and its adjacent seas (5). Since 1998, catch limits have been in place for the Atlantic bluefin tuna in the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean, but until 2006, it was believed that these limits were not respected and were largely ineffective (5). In 2006, ICCAT adopted a 15 year recovery plan for the highly threatened stocks of the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean. The plan includes stricter catch limits and more extensive closures of fisheries in certain areas and at certain times (5).
As the Atlantic bluefin tuna is such a slow-growing and long-lived species, it will take years, possibly over ten, before any benefits of these measures are observed (5). Hopefully this recovery plan will have some success, and prevent the eastern Atlantic stock falling into the same dire situation as the western Atlantic stock. Unless catches of this stock are reduced to near zero, the extinction of this large, economically valuable fish in the western Atlantic seems sadly inevitable (6).

VISALIA, Calif. (AP) – Authorities say two suspects are dead after pursuit and shootout with police in the Central Valley city of Visalia.
Visalia police say when officers tried to make a traffic stop around 11:30 p.m. Friday the driver refused to pull over and a chase began.
Visalia police Lt. Brian Winter says the pursuit began on surface streets, but continued onto Highway 99, with the car crashing into a dirt field when the driver later tried to get off the highway.
After the crash, Winter says several people ran from the car, and shots were fired at police. Three officers returned fire, hitting three of the suspects.
Winter says two of the suspects hit by gunfire died. The third is being treated at a hospital. Two additional suspects remained with the car and were not hurt.
Police say they recovered two handguns at the scene.
No additional details have been released.

Ruin, Philadelphia's inimitable and legendary band came down to the station to hang out, spin some records and talk about their highly anticipated Union Transfer reunion show (Saturday 8/31!!) future releases, past shows, sparklers and much much more!
Ruin is more than music, or at least aspires to be more. Initially, it was a propaganda project. Students of the arts, philosophy and religion, doing lab work with music. Experimenting with ways of being human. Was, and still is . .

Beşiktaş board member Erdal Torunoğulları has stated that the Turkish club has reached a partnership agreement with Premier League giants Chelsea. The deal involves close co-operation between the first teams and academies, training support and joint scouting projects. The agreement might also see young Chelsea players go on loan deals to the Turkish club in the near future.
Beşiktaş will play the wages to most of the players thanks to the lucrative television deal in Turkey. The Blues have been criticized for so many young players which has led to the growth of their enormous squad size. This summer, Chelsea sent 26 players out on loan.
Torunoğulları who had recently visited Chelsea academy to discuss the agreement, while Beşiktaş took on Tottenham in the Europa League says Beşiktaş have the finances to pay significant higher wages to players. Of late, Chelsea were not able to find clubs who take take their players on loan due to high wage demands. Meanwhile, Beşiktaş helped themselves to Demba Ba in the summer agreeing to pay the 29 year old a salary worth £80,000 per week.
Beşiktaş administrative director Semih Usta recently claimed, We made our short-to-long-term plans and will do our best to transform Beşiktaş into a club that pays particular attention to youth infrastructure, facilities and scouting. The Black Eagles as they are known have a network of 65 football academies in every region of the country as well as Germany, England, Holland and as far afield as Nigeria.
But which of the current crop are most in danger of a temporary Turkish trip?
Petr Cech
A deflating start in the Capital One Cup aside, the only piece of truly competitive action the headgear-sporter has been able to sink his teeth into was the substitutes appearance he made against Arsenal.
Cech himself has stated that if his fortunes dont improve by January he would have to consider leaving and Besiktas, who signed Demba Ba from the Blues despite his high wages, are one club who could provide the stopper a haven without forcing him to take a pay cut.
Mohamed Salah
Since arriving in London last January the Egyptian has made a paltry 14 appearances for Chelsea, of which only half have been in starts.
With Eden Hazard, Willian, Andre Schurrle and Ramires all seemingly ahead of Salah in the queue a switch to the Super Lig could be warmly received by all parties.
Nathan Ake
Ake is one of the few Chelsea youth that hasnt been sent out on loan during his time at Stamford Bridge.
However four appearances in all competitions since making his Premier League debut as a late sub in 2012 indicate that his path into the first team is still rather cluttered, especially with the arrival with Kurt Zouma.

Nothing says Halloween treats quite like these delicious (yet disgusting) shortbread finger cookies.
I made some to take to our fundraiser at work. You might think that dead-finger cookies wouldn't go over well at the Washington State Senate, but let you tell you what...these cookies sold out pretty fast. I like them because they aren't too sweet, and they are just gross enough to be great.
I got the recipe from the book The Secret Life of Food. There are some other fun recipes, but this one is by far the best. The fingernails are almond slices, and they look all cracked and gross (but great).
I also carved this pumpkin at work for our fundraiser.
It was decided that the pumpkin looked cautiously optimistic.

In other news, I'm done knitting one sock. I'll post them once I'm done with the other. I bet you can't wait!

BOSTON -- January 2009 might not have been as difficult for club operators as some thought, if results from an online survey by the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association (IHRSA) are correct. Sixty-eight percent of those surveyed said that total revenue in January 2009 was much better, better or equal to January 2008. Sixty-seven percent said that total memberships were much better, better or equal this January compared to last while 65 percent said that new membership sales were much better, better or equal to January 2008.
IHRSA surveyed its member clubs in February and received 269 responses, mostly from one-club operators with 1,000 to 5,000 memberships. IHRSA did not provide individual numbers for each category, instead placing into one category the responses to "much better, better or equal" and putting responses to "worse or much worse" into a second category.
Many of the respondents said that they had made changes to their business operations due to the current economic hardships. Some of these changes include an increased focus on customer service, profit centers (such as non-dues programs), and marketing and advertising.
In addition, more clubs are offering discounts on enrollment fees, shorter-term memberships, and services offered to nonmembers. Club owners are also paying close attention to staffing schedules and expenses while also giving careful consideration to postponing equipment purchases. However, the majority of clubs reported that they are maintaining their pre-planned capital expenditures.
Fifty-one percent of respondents said that the changes they've made were minor; 17 percent said they were drastic. Another 18 percent said they had not made changes yet but they would.
New non-dues-related sales were much better, better or equal to January 2008 for 74 percent of the respondents, while non-dues revenue overall was much better, better or equal to January 2008 for 72 percent of respondents.
"We are very pleased to hear from a sample of IHRSA clubs that they are maintaining or improving performance during this tough economic time," Katie Rollauer, IHRSA's senior manager of research, said in a release from IHRSA.

One of my favourite things to have in Finland used to be my granny's "rieska", which is a Finnish flat bread made with oat, barley or potato. Granny would bake the bread in her giant wood-fired oven and it was the best thing to have with 'gravlax' (salt cured salmon). I am looking forward to baking and having this bread again when I go to Finland for Christmas.
This time I had bought some smoked salmon and of course felt like having it with rieska. I knew I would have to keep it simple so I made this potato version of the bread and we ate them warm with the salmon and some fresh dill. Delicious!
300g mashed potato, cooled*
100g whole spelt flour
1 large free-range egg
pinch of salt
* You can use left-over mashed potato. If you make a new batch, use some milk to loosen and moisturise the mixture.
Preheat oven to 220C. Mix all ingredients in a bowl and divide the dough into 4 portions. Place the portions on a baking tray lined with baking paper and flatten each portion with flour dusted fingers into round disks. Prick the breads with a fork and bake for 15 minutes. Serve warm with butter, smoked salmon and fresh dill.

To make one feel guilty, especially in an attempt to manipulate. Kelly's parents were always trying to send her on a guilt trip for not giving them grandchildren. These charity commercials are really sending me on a guilt trip. I guess that's a sign I should donate.
