I have this recurring dream that is getting worse and affecting my sleep.
It varies some each time, but is typically the same concept: I find myself in an old house. I will either find a secret room or a section of the house. The new room/section is haunted. I can feel a terrible presence. I can't breath. It is an OVERWHELMING sense of dread. I usually never see a ghost or spirit, but I know they are there.
Last night, I dreamt I was in a hotel suite and one room was so thick with spirits that I couldn't talk. The spirits were literally sucking the life out of me. I woke in such a panic I turned the TV on, opened every window, and stayed up until the sun rose at 6am. When I wake from these dreams, I'm convinced someone is watching me and it's TERRIFYING!
Not on any meds that would cause this. I've had different variations of the same dream for a while now.

I had been on hiatus when that got started, so I never found out why it was implemented and what was hoped to have been achieved by it.
While I think it's mostly harmless, I don't think it's necessary either. Seems the more popular chewers receive the most points, and humor seems to be the biggest deciding factor in handing them out. So I guess the one with the most points by the end of the year gets a shot on Last Comic Standing?
All joking aside, why was this system created?

Ogio's new Gambit backpack is the kind of pack I'd want to haul my gear in while wandering the radioactive desert wasteland of Fallout: New Vegas with. Heck, it's even equipped with a padded, crushproof pocket called a "Tech Vault."
The Gambit's laptop compartment is one of those rare beasts able to house a 17-incher, even though Apple quit making its mammoth 17″ MBP a few years back.
Pockets galore: Four on each side, two of them large enough to fit a water bottle; one organizational pocket; a slot for your iPad; and a top zippered stash pocket for, well, your stash. That's all in addition to the padded and lined Tech Vault.
The Gambit also seems built for travel. There's its "Hybrid Unibody Backpanel," which looks like some sort of suspension panel, and straps with thicker padding (which, frankly, never really works for me, but might for you). And the whole thing is festooned with foam panels to protect delicate contents.
The Gambit sells for $100 — pretty favorable when compared with other laptop-toting packs in this range, most of which are considerably less pocketed.
And don't be fooled by the "COMING SOON" message plastered all over the Gambit's image on Ogio's site; the bag is available today.

post by Pepper Joe he knows a few people that are planning to unveil the world's hottest pepper in two weeks. If true that would be a fairly significant event seeing that the initial Moruga Scorpion test results were just published and as of yet they have not been officially recognized by Guinness. As of the date of this post (2.24.2012) Guinness still recognizes the Butch T Trinidad Scorpion as the world's hottest pepper.
Joe's making a few other interesting claims as well:
1. 50+ pounds of hot peppers have been tested.
2. Tests have taken place over a 5 year period
3. Most of the "Trinidad" peppers actually originated in China (DNA tests will prove it)
4. There's already an application pending with Guinness (it can be $30,000+ to get in?)
5. The person who is claiming to have the world's next hottest pepper also claims to have created 600 varieties of peppers!
My money's on the douglah being the next record setting pepper but if they guys Joe has been talking with are on the up and up we could be in for a surprise.

As we know more and more how the human body responds to specific plant and herb based compounds, herbal weight loss supplements are getting to be popular with dieters wishing to keep healthy whilst shedding pounds and ounces.
Most of us understand that the best way to lose weight is to keep up a proper diet and take regular exercise but occasionally this isn't enough. You can also visit http://supplementpolice.com/truvision/ to get information on weight loss supplements.
Losing a few pounds fast in the start may create a positive beginning to a different diet program and frequently natural weight loss supplements can allow you to attain a greater than average shed early on.
In addition, one of the very important factors about great all-natural weight loss supplements is they normally contain, not only the weight reduction brokers but nutritional supplements also.
Therefore, in the event that you've selected to be on a really strict diet so as to realize your target weight, natural weight loss supplements can help by making sure that your own body still has crucial minerals and vitamins whilst you are dieting.
There are various kinds of natural weight loss supplements in the marketplace. The key issue to keep in mind is that what works for you might not work for somebody else. Just like everything, research is very important.

Sony's victory in the DVD format wars was largely due to its embrace and Toshiba's rejection of a sophisticated anti-copying scheme that promises to be relockable should it be cracked at some point in the future.
Toshiba earlier this week announced that it will stop making HD DVD players, surrendering the field in a five-year battle with Sony's Blu-ray to become the disc format of the future.
Support from studios has been widely cited as the reason for Blu-ray's victory, but few consumers know that the studios were likely won over by the presence of a digital lock on movies called BD+, a far more sophisticated and resilient digital rights management, or DRM, system than that offered by HD DVD.
"The adoption of BD+ as part of the Blu-ray disc specification … was a key factor in our decision to publish on the format," Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment executive Mike Dunn said in a 2007 press release. "This added layer of content protection gives Blu-ray yet another distinct competitive advantage."
The triumph of DRM for video will almost certainly lead to continued attempts to hack the system, and risks alienating users who want to buy content once and have it available on whatever brand of TV, laptop, MP3 player and smartphone they own. That fight lasted for years in the music world, though it's now clear that DRM for music is in its final throes.
Both Blu-ray and HD DVD formats use an anti-copying system called AACS, which has already been cracked; but Blu-ray employs BD+ as an extra layer of protection. BD+ is optional – not all Blu-ray discs use it – and has not yet been compromised, despite claims to the contrary.
The BD+ system, invented by the San Francisco-based company Cryptography Research, embeds a virtual machine in Blu-ray discs that play only on authorized Blu-ray players.
When the player spins up the disc, the virtual machine software and the DVD player view each other with mutual suspicion, but initiate a complicated mating ritual involving checks of cryptographic keys.
Once the disc decides the player is legitimate and hasn't been compromised, it allows the movie it contains to be decrypted for playback.
But if the disc detects that the player has been modified to record the movie, or it is using stolen keys from a different player, the disc won't play. Unlike AACS, however, BD+ has no ability to disable a player permanently, nor does its software linger after a disc is ejected.
Paul Kocher, Cryptography Research's president and chief scientist, thinks HD DVD's decision not to adopt his technology eventually tipped the battle to Blu-ray.
"I don't want to pretend that security was the only thing that drove the content war," Kocher said. "But from a content perspective, I think security is the biggest overhang over the future of the studios and I think they realize that and they are doing what they can to deal with that."
While file sharers who hang out at forums like Doom9 might not appreciate Kocher's latest effort, Kocher was also the co-author of the
SSL 3.0 specification, which allowed real security for online logins and online credit card purchasing.
Kocher says he's a technologist who had no desire to get caught up in a format war, and offered the technology to both camps. But Toshiba decided that AACS was enough security.
"Instead of being on both formats, it became a differentiator and attracted content to Blu-ray and gave Blu-ray some momentum," Kocher said.
The BD+ system was cited by Lionsgate and Fox studios as the key reason they supported the format over HD DVD.
In October, Fox released the first discs to use BD+, but some first-generation players couldn't handle the BD+ and required firmware updates. Once the updates became available, users had to download a file, and burn a CD from an .iso file to update their DVD players – a high technical hurdle for many.
That minor debacle has already led to a class-action suit against
Samsung, though Kocher dismissed the issue as something to be expected when buying first-generation hardware.
The BD+ system protects movies if pirates should develop mod chips for Blu-ray players or develop Blu-ray player software that allows movies to be copied.
BD+ can surreptitiously insert data about a player into a playback stream. If a movie is then pirated, studios can analyze the data and come up with a way to prevent that machine from doing the same to future releases.
Andrew Jaquith, a senior analyst at the Yankee Group, says the BD+ scheme appeals to studios because it can be patched.
"There is an element of renewability in BD+ and that is the path to longevity," Jaquith said. "There are always implementation flaws. It's an arms race and to stay agile, you have to have the ability to pull up the gates when the ramparts have been breached."
"The people at Cryptography Research are generally thought of as the biggest, baddest cryptology designers around," Jaquith said. "If you look at the latest generations of DirecTV, the P4 and P5 [access]
cards have not been broken. This is a testament to the skills they possess."
But Jaquith says security was more likely an "influencing factor"
than a "leading factor" for studios, which he believes eventually chose
Blu-ray primarily for hardware and software reasons.
Kocher's company began brainstorming a better way to lock down DVDs shortly after the discs hit the market in the late 1990s.
His company already had some relationships with the movie industry, having developed systems to let studios securely transfer movie files inside a company while they were being worked on, and in a July 2003
workshop in Los Angeles, the company demonstrated their technology to studios in a workshop meeting.
Hardware makers pay a nominal fee for the specs and must include the technology in their players, while studios pay only when they include
BD+ code in their titles.
Cryptography Research sold BD+ and its core technology known as Self-Protecting Digital Content to Macrovison in November for $45 million cash plus unspecified stock options.
Kocher fully expects that the hacker community to attack BD+ and that its backup mechanisms will be needed.
"If you run a bank, someone will try to rob it someday," Kocher said. "Just because no one has brought a gun in and pointed at your teller, doesn't mean that they won't in the future."
When asked if he hoped to see how well BD+ holds up under the kinds of sustained attacks that compromised HD DVD last year, Kocher hesitated.
"You don't hope the first layers of defense go and you have to go to the subsequent ones," Kocher said. "But that said, there's always a piece of you that wonders how it is going to play out and when you look forward 10 years from now – did we drastically underestimate the pirates?"
"At the same time, you don't want to encourage that," Kocher said. "It's what causes restrictive laws to get passed."

For the last footwork Friday post, the great Jack Slack broke down the stance for us. The previous articles dealt with angular footwork. This week, we'll begin looking at linear footwork. First up is the drag step footwork. I associate this footwork more with panantukan – empty hands – or boxing or kickboxing. But step-drag works with weapons as well. Footwork should be combined to make footwork combinations. Angular and linear can be combined to create a diverse arsenal of movement. But let's dive right into the step-drag.
Disclaimer: The footwork discussed below is from Counterpoint Tactical System as I've learned it from Master Zach Whitson. Any errors or inconsistencies are mine. The spirit of this series is me studying footwork in more depth. I don't claim to know everything, and I will make mistakes. But, again, those mistakes are mine. Also, this article is for reference only and should be used as a secondary source only. Please, see a Filipino martial arts instructor if you wish to really and accurately learn these techniques.
One of the best things about the step-drag is that its name is also its description. Start in a staggered stance with feet about shoulder width apart. The foot in the direction you want to move is the one that steps. If you want to move forward, your forward foot steps. If you want to move right, your right foot steps. Then, drag your other step to return to your stance. This step can be done in any direction. The concept applies whether moving backwards or to the side.
When I teach this, I stack two steps together before changing direction. This allows us to start putting the footwork together in combination, and it keeps us in discipline. If our opponent backs away farther than we can get in one step, we just continue the step. We don't want to break footwork when pursuing. Also, I teach the step drag in reverse, but I don't like exiting on a linear path. Humans move faster forward than backwards; so, it's easier for your attacker to chase you down when exiting backwards linearly. If weapons are involved, the extended reach of the weapon may still bridge the gap created by your linear step backwards. Exiting is best achieved when circling or angling out. But we need to learn the concept, and if step-dragging backwards is the best available option, then we have to be able to execute. It's a tool we need in our arsenal even if it we never use it.
I use this footwork a lot when I'm hitting the heavy bag. When stick sparring, I use it sparingly, but I do use it. I mix it in with angular footwork to avoid creating a predictable footwork pattern. While I prefer angular footwork and getting offline, it's important for a well developed striking skill set to have linear footwork as well. Step-drag is a simple, effective pattern to use.

I used a #7 for a number of years and it is still sitting in my back yard and would work if I had to use it. On mine the snapping rollers are worn but still work. The problem with the old NI pickers is ears will easily bounce out of the elevator on rough ground. Overall those old pickers if not worn out will still work.

Quick Reference
In optics, the distance from the middle of the lens to its focal point. Light rays run in parallel to one another, while lenses distort light rays: a convex lens (the type that is thicker in the centre than at the edges) brings them closer together and a concave lens (the type that is thinner in the centre) forces them apart. Cameras use convex lenses to bring the light rays together to a point where they converge and the image is in focus: this is where the film or light sensitive diode goes. The more convex (or thicker) the lens, the more severely the light rays are bent and the shorter the focal length (conversely, the thinner the lens the longer the focal length). Different focal lengths create different kinds of image effects. Lenses with very short focal lengths (or wide angle lenses) allow more of the picture to be seen and emphasize foreground elements, whereas lenses with very long focal lengths (or telephoto lenses) allow less of the picture to be seen and emphasize background elements which appear to be magnified. These different effects are dramatically illustrated by a technique used in feature films called a Hitchcock zoom, where the camera tracks out at the same time as it zooms in (or vice versa), an effect used in the film Vertigo (1958).

Mapleton Local - Mapleton Elementary School (IRN-000400)
2 Mountie Drive
Ashland, OH 44805
Map It!
CCG Automation, Inc. was asked to provide a solution to the comfort and cost issues. After evaluating the facility, CCG offered multiple options to the district to improve their energy efficiency. The Board of Education chose to replace the existing control system in the Elementary School with an Automated Logic WebCTRL system and re-commission all of the mechanical systems.
CCG completed the installation in June 2005 and has been remotely monitoring the building to ensure the system is providing both a comfortable indoor environment and the guaranteed energy savings. During a training session, two rooms were displaying light yellow, which indicates they are above setpoint. Upon review of each space, the rooms were only .1 degree away from setpoint. The district has realized immediate utility savings as a result of the control upgrade. Current utility bills show dramatic reductions in usage and the temperature in the building is controlling within tenths of one degree.
Mapleton Local Schools was able to recover their investment for this project in 15 months due to the energy savings it generated.
"The Mapleton Local Schools have been partnered with CCG Automation for over 4 years now. We believe that the energy savings are real, and we appreciate the assistance in making wise energy choices."-- John L. Marks, Superintendent, Mapleton Local Schools
Please note: Narrative information in this profile has been provided by Mapleton Local Schools or a representative of this facility.

Florida cops have worked out a natty way to get around needing a pesky court order to track a user's phone – they have been claiming that the manufacturer's NDA forbids them from getting one.
In Florida everyone knows that a manufacturer's NDA trumps the US constitution and that has allowed coppers to use their "stingray" mobile tracking gadget 200 times without ever telling a judge.
Their reason is that the device manufacturer made them sign a non-disclosure agreement that they say prevented them from telling the courts.
It all came to light during an appeal over a 2008 sexual battery case in Tallahassee in which the suspect also stole the victim's mobile. Using the stingray — which simulates a mobile phone tower in order to trick nearby mobile devices into connecting to it and revealing their location — police were able to track him to an apartment.
During the case, authorities revealed that they had used the equipment at least 200 additional times since 2010 without disclosing this to courts and obtaining a warrant.
According to Wired, Harris is the leading maker of stingrays in the US, and appears to have been loaning the devices to police departments throughout the state for product testing and promotional purposes. Police departments signed non-disclosure agreements with the vendor and used the agreement to avoid disclosing their use of the equipment to courts.
The government has claimed it doesn't need to obtain a probable-cause warrant to use the devices because they don't collect the content of phone calls and text messages but rather operate like pen-registers and trap-and-traces, collecting the equivalent of header information.
According to the appellate court judges, after a young woman reported on September 13, 2008 that she had been raped and that her purse, containing a mobile phone, had been stolen, police tracked the location of her phone about 24 hours later to the apartment of Thomas' girlfriend.
Around 5 am, they knocked on the apartment door, but the suspect's girlfriend refused to let them in without a warrant. Instead, they forced their way in, ordered her and Thomas to exit, and then searched the apartment. After they found the victim's purse and mobile and arrested Thomas.
Authorities opted not to get a warrant either for the use of the Stingray or the search of the apartment, simply because they did not want to tell the judge what they were using to locate the suspect, a matter.
Judges are a little miffed too. When the government attorney tried to argue in court that the police had planned to obtain a warrant to enter the apartment, one of the judges pointed out that they had not done this on the other 200 times.

Ask someone to name the first racing franchise that comes to mind and it probably won't be Grid. Of course, to be fair, the series started off as TOCA Touring Car and has gone through many incarnations before reaching the easier to remember and more appealing "Grid" moniker. Confusing series labeling aside, however, the anticipation around the release of Grid 2 has certainly been lacking. While one might think that speaks to the reception of the original, it actually speaks to the poor release schedule and marketing. Alas, it's been over five years since the original (to put that in perspective, the now classic Burnout Paraidse was released just months before) Grid was released and in that time there's been countless solid racers that have wiped out most of the goodwill garnered. Thankfully, while Grid 2 might not be a large-scale reboot, it delivers more of what made the original so appealing in the first place.
The gameplay and presentation can best be described as a cross between arcade style and simulation, leaning towards the latter. This is not the sort of racing title that will have you drifting through cities at 300 MPH holding down a boost button, but it's also not going to require compensating for every puddle on the street or slight handling nuances. As such, its "TrueFeel" handling system takes a little awhile to get used to as the balance means you're encouraged to go as fast as possible while having to constantly keep control of the car. Once you get experienced, however, it offers plenty of thrilling racing presented in a manner that doesn't make you feel like part of the Toretto family. Returning is the notable Flashback system which allows time to be rewinded up to ten seconds at any point during the race by hitting the Y button. Playing on the default difficulty grants this ability five times per event and thanks to how easy it is to wipe out, they certainly come in handy. While some may scoff at the ability to fix mistakes instead of simply not making them, they allow for the game to be more unforgiving in its execution, challenging you to have to feel how each car handles.
Grid 2 boasts its fair share of real-world cars, spanning multiple decades of automotive history. From American muscle to import tuners, there's something for everybody with cars from major manufactures like Nissan, Ford, Chevrolet and more making an appearance. Cars are separated into four tiers, with Tier 4 boasting supercars that have maximum speeds of over 250 MPH. Don't expect to start the game in a AMC Pacer, however, with the first car awarded a Mach 1 Mustang. Cars can be visually customized, allowing for multiple colors, patterns, numbers and rims. Sponsor stickers can also be slapped on cars that serve as a secondary objective system, awarding "fans" for completing various tasks like winning a race five seconds ahead of the runner-up. No matter how a car is customized (unless it's bright pink with a bunch of graphics) they'll look spectacular both up close and in motion thanks to the fabulous engine Grid 2 utilizes. Of course, less experienced players will likely end up crossing the finish like with a hunk of scrap metal thanks to cars accumulating realistic damage depending on the collision impact. Bumpers and fenders fall off, doors open and it's even possible for a tire to blow and result in riding on a rim the rest of a race. It all affects how cars handle and promotes realistic driving instead of constantly clipping other racers and sidewalls.
With a full career mode that contains multiple events and the WSR (World Series Racing) championship, Grid 2 is not lacking in content. New cars are unlocked via Vechicle Challenges for beating the target time with the supplied car. Those who would prefer to simply race can do so with custom events, which include Overtake, Touge, Faceoff, Checkpoint and Endurance. While the realistic roars of engines and tires squealing on pavement make for a fine soundtrack, the most noticeable area the game is lacking is in the music department. No music is playing most of the time, but when it is, it's simply generic orchestrations or drum-heavy electronic music. While it would be admittedly expensive, the overall mood of the game would have been enhanced with a licensed soundtrack.
Closing Comments:
A sequel five years in the making, there's nothing particularly radical about Grid 2 and that's just fine. Instead of putting all the action around a music festival or having hundreds of engine modifications, Grid 2 is all about delivering a solid racing title with little flash and no pretense. It fills a niche of being a title for those who don't want to hold down a NOS button, yet don't want to spend tens of hours mastering nuances in steering. With tons of cars, multiple events and a fantastic multiplayer mode, Grid 2 is proof that the series deserves to rank among the upper echelon of racing franchises.

It is a rare person that isnt ecstatic the elections season is over, regardless of how they voted.
The biggest reason? Election advertisements, especially in our area, when our citizens are bombarded with television advertisements, that are not only political, but are from New Mexico. We cant even vote for these politicians!
And the happiest of everyone? Montezuma County Schools.
The voters in Montezuma County, overwhelmingly supported Montezuma County Schools. In Mancos, teachers will get raises and additional instructional material because of a mill levy. In Cortez, high schools students will get a new school and in Dolores, the much-talked about failing science building will be replaced.
Voters had our future in mind when they went to the polls and that was our students.
But who would have predicted that Montezuma County residents would go to bed on Election Night knowing who had won the hard-fought presidential contest but still waiting to hear about local races?
As staffers waited for local results, the Internet displayed results from other Colorado counties big counties, small counties, counties approximately the same size as Montezuma. Come at 9, our clerk said. Or 11. Or midnight. Or tomorrow. Or watch the clerks website which was not updated when all the votes were tallied.
Its the clerks job to make sure the office has sufficient equipment and staff to handle elections efficiently. This isnt the first time the election process has gone wrong here, but this must be the last, because Montezuma County citizens are not well served.
Many people, including the Dolores School District Superintendent stayed up into the wee hours of the morning waiting. For it was still unclear if Measure 3C had passed with 1,384 votes still not reported, that was well over 50 percent of the votes. Over $6 million was at stake for Dolores students and on Wednesday morning after Election Day everyone could only say, Well, I think it passed. It wasnt until after 10 a.m. that morning, that we all knew for certain and could celebrate in ernest.
Accuracy is more important than speed, but the 2012 ballot was not particularly long and complicated, the turnout while laudable was not overwhelming, and not a single result was close at all.
Elections arent recreational exercises. The results matter. They can change the course of peoples lives, and even when they dont, they reflect, legally, the wishes of people who cared enough to vote. Thats no small thing.
Elections also dont sneak up on the people running them. Theres plenty of time to plan for various possibilities, including the one that a lot of ballots would be cast or delivered on Tuesday. After all, it hasnt been too many years since they all were.
We hope that the new commission will work to ensure that the clerks office has the resources necessary to perform on Election Day. And we hope that next Election Day, voters will make clear their preference for a county clerk who is up to this important responsibility.

Throughout all of American history, every generation will probably associate Barry Goldwater with the image of a little girl in a field of flowers. The image, of course, is from a Lyndon Johnson television advertisement, in which a flower-picking little girl's counting chant turns into a countdown to the detonation of a nuclear bomb.
I just finished watching CC Goldwater's HBO documentary about her grandfather, the late U.S. Sen. and 1964 Republican presidential nominee Barry Goldwater. The film, titled "Mister Conservative: Goldwater on Goldwater" looks at the Arizonan's life and legacy, featuring testimonies from figures as diverse as John McCain, Goldwater's successor in his Senate seat, U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), who was a "Goldwater Girl" in the 1964 election, conservative columnist George Will, newsman Walter Cronkite, and Democratic strategist James Carville. The documentary traces Goldwater's libertarian political theory from his days on the far Right of the American political spectrum to his final days defending abortion rights and the right of gays and lesbians to serve in the United States Armed Services.
More interesting to me than the political significance of Goldwater highlighted in this film was the personal angle of the man known as "Mister Conservative." In some respects, he was hard not to admire. A plain-spoken man who stuck to his convictions, he had a soft enough heart to use his ham radio avocation to connect American servicemen in Vietnam with their families back home, all without ever revealing his identity to them or to the American public.
And yet, the personal look at Goldwater on this film is also painful to watch at times. His daughter tells tearfully about desperately looking for any kind of approval from her father. She speaks of wanting more than anything to hear him say "I love you" or "I'm proud of you." Instead, she says, he would pick up a newspaper and push her to the side. This daughter tells of becoming pregnant in the 1950s as a young engaged woman and aborting her child with the encouragement and assistance of her conservative father. It is difficult to watch the late senator's son, former Congressman Barry Goldwater Jr., as craggy-faced as his father, welling up in tears as he speaks of how his father succeeded in politics but never as a Dad. The junior Goldwater seems to shake as he recalls how he spent his whole life looking, in vain, for the expressed love and approval of his father. It is heartbreaking to hear a family member say at the end of the film that the thing Goldwater loved more than anything in the world was the United States Senate.
I wonder how many men in our churches are leading similar lives, lives filled with acclaim and visible success, but with a hollowness in their homes. How many of our pastors are faithful to preach the truth and to stand for the Word of God, even as their children crave their love and attention? What does it profit if a man gains the whole world, or even the White House, and loses his own kids?
It's a shame that Barry Goldwater will be remembered by an unfair political ad, that nameless little girl in a flower field. But what really counted was the little girl in his own backyard. Perhaps this film obscured the true affection and fatherly devotion of the late senator. I hope so. But let's receive it as a warning that we only have one opportunity to carry out our most important calling.
In so doing, let's image the Father for whom every fatherhood is named, the One who announced of His only begotten: "You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased" (Luke 3:22). In your heart, you know He's right.

Documenting what my son thinks is "cool" these days. I walked into his room the other day and he had taken down his superman poster. "Mom, superheroes are so not cool anymore." Sigh. I have to admit. I was sad to see it go since superheroes have been such a huge love of his. All part of the process I guess. But I do have to admit...skateboarding *is* pretty cool. On to bigger and better things.

Games education festival reboots for second level
The award-winning videogames education festival, Games Britannia, returns for 2013 and will officially launch on 23 and 24 January with a 24-hour marathon of game development events and workshops.
The launch event at Sheffield Hallam University will bring together schoolchildren, students, teachers, university academics and games industry leaders for a preview of the festival in June.
The event will also launch a game designed by children from All Saints Catholic High School during the 2012 festival, and developed by Sheffield Hallam students in the University's studio, Steel Minions. The game will be released on the IndieCity app store, and all proceeds will be donated to charity Special Effect.
Festival director and Sheffield Hallam lecturer, Dr Jake Habgood, said: "We're very pleased to announce the launch of Games Britannia 2013. Getting children creating with computers is what the festival is all about, and I hope that having the chance of getting their own ideas made into a game will inspire lots of schools to take part."
SUMO-Digital's creative director Sean Millard will announce SUMO's backing for the festival, and will unveil some of the exciting activities lined up for Games Britannia this year.
During the launch event, game development students from Sheffield Hallam will take part in a 'game jam' competition to create a Windows 8 game in just 24 hours. Experts from Microsoft will be there to judge the students' games.
Educators from across the region will attend an exclusive event on game design, and be the first to obtain details of the 2013 game design competition, which could see their school releasing their own videogame in 2014.
YoYo games will also provide teachers with free Game Maker software licences for their schools.
The launch will conclude with a gathering of the local games industry for a Game Republic meeting at Hallam on Windows 8 game development delivered by Lee Stott of Microsoft. Lee will announce the winner of the game jam in front of an industry audience.
The 2012 festival was named 'Best university / educational initiative' at the national TIGA Games Industry Awards in November 2012.
Games Britannia takes place at Sheffield Hallam University from 10 to 14 June 2013. For more information on Games Britannia, and to register interest, visit www.gamesbritannia.com.
Notes for editors:
Media are welcome to attend the launch event on Wednesday 23 January, but the Game Republic event on Thursday 24 January is strictly for game developers.

The mobile dating service "Crush or Flush" is now available to Boost Mobile's 4.5 million subscribers, a deal that the Bellevue operator of the dating service says is the first of many carrier relationships it plans to announce.
Bellevue's IceBreaker, which operates "Crush or Flush" and raised $7.2 million in venture financing in June, has attracted more than 250,000 users since its launch last January.
Irvine, Calif.-based Boost Mobile, a division of Sprint Nextel, is a wireless carrier that targets customers under the age of 25. The "Crush or Flush" service allows mobile phone users to chat anonymously via text message without divulging information such as cell phone numbers or e-mail addresses.
In a press release, Craig Thole of Boost Mobile said that the service was a "run away success" with subscribers during a trial period.

Bradelor! DUN!: Everyone Else Is Dead
I spent the bulk of the episode buoyed by one fact and one fact alone — the next episode is the last! YAAAAAY! — and then I realized OH NO we haven't had key-party awkward fun times yet. Or the "women tell all" episode. Or the Chris Harrison episode of Cribs. Or any of the other sixteen hours of programming between us and the end of this mishegas.
You remember Miss Alli: she's Linda Holmes, and she's the rodeo clown at NPR's Monkey See. You know me: I've actually been to Madawaska. Together, we're Bradelor! DUN!, and we don't feel comfortable kissing you when a kid's asleep upstairs.
Sars: This Ricky scene is pizz-aaaaaaaainful.
Miss Alli: He is a STIFF.
Sars: Look, I'm not good with kids either. I'm not going to tell anyone otherwise. But if you aren't natural with kids, just leave them be, that much I can tell you.
Alli: Kids who don't want to jump up on you right away are not asking you to pursue them more forcefully. They are not. Also: you don't have a right to their affection, any more than to anyone else's.
Sars: Although, not for nothing, but when an adult is talking to you, answer him.
Alli: Oh, sure.
Sars: I get that she's shy, but if it's to the degree that she doesn't talk to other adults, Emily might mention that. And if it's not to that degree…Like, making her feel comfortable is important, but letting her be rude doesn't really help anything.
Alli: Well, it's hard to say. There are also a billion unfamiliar adults with cameras and lights and blah dee blah. Hard to know what she was actually reacting to.
Sars: Yeah, that's kind of where I think the whole situation is gross. I wouldn't introduce her to Brad until I had a ring.
Alli: Well, right. That's how you'd do it, but you would basically never involve a child in this nuttery anyway.
Sars: Or an adult. Or my parents. Just you, my friend. Juuuuuust you.
Alli: If you ever go on The Bachelor, I agree to pretend I'm your sister so you don't have to involve your real family. You can tell them everyone else is dead.
Sars: Everyone else WILL be dead. Of shame.
Alli: So true.
Sars: Have you watched the whole thing?
Alli: Sadly, yes.
Sars: Obvs I'm only up to the Emily portion, but can we talk about his double-talk re: Ashley? "I don't want to hold her back." Ohhhh, is THAT what you don't want.
Alli: Well, my feelings about that started with his discussion with Chantal, where he was like, "Wow, I could live here. Not that I would consider that, of course." And she fell all over herself assuring him that his expectation that he would set the rules for where they would live was PERFECTLY FINESIES.
Sars: Ooh, totally. "We'll be visiting here a lot." In the what now? And the Shawntel portion, that was even worse.
Alli: Exactly.
Sars: She's inheriting a business. You can't discuss it? I could have done without the guilt trip from Pops, however. …Brad: You can have sex with children in the house. Doors have locks. If you're not sure what the protocol is, ASK.
Alli: That was the WEIRDEST DAMN THING. When he wouldn't kiss her? So freaky.
Sars: And Emily's like, you know Ricky lives here, right? And eventually we're going to have to Do It with her in the house? But she was, like, too Southern to just say so. And then he wasn't going to kiss her at the door, either, until she basically made him. I feel kind of bad busting on him for not knowing what to do, because I know it's a tricky situation, but come on, buddy.
Alli: Well, you know what it says to me? You ain't ready to date a woman with a kid.
Sars: I…really can't believe he negged Shawntel. If he really thinks that they would spend all their time together at home talking about her job, he is a fucking moron who deserves whatever Crazytown shit he gets with Chantal.
Alli: I said this on Twitter last night, but what's crazy about that is that her job makes her one of the most accomplished, cool people they've ever had on this stupid show. You have to be both scientifically knowledgeable and a good person to be good at working in a funeral home. Yes, yes, spooooky — she's ACCOMPLISHED. She has a DAMN JOB.
Sars: And it's a portable job! And you know, it's not like his job is that interesting. It's just a job! She's not down there playing poker with the bodies.
Alli: You know what? I think he realized that while she's sweet, she's not a pushover. And he wants a pushover who is aggressively pushing her pushover-ness as a personality plus, which Shawntel is not.
Sars: Oh, sure. He couldn't say enough times how nice it was to see Ashley and Chantal "in their elements" — i.e., not having the gall to get upset or have any non-sunny moments where they question him. So, who do you think it is at the end?
Alli: I definitely think it's Not Ashley. So since he seems to think Emily's kid is a deal-breaker (but wants to sleep with Emily before booting her), and because Chantal's dad pushed all his daddy-issue buttons in what he thinks is a good way, I'm thinking Chantal.
Sars: Yeah, I'd have to agree. Because Chantal is volatile, but she will go way further to be what he wants than the other two will, I think.
Alli: She's falling all over herself to do whatever he wants. That, to him, is a major point of importance.
Sars: And her career, if I recall correctly, wasn't even mentioned.
Alli: Does she have one? Does she care about it?
Sars: He's probably it, at this point.
Alli: Maybe she thinks she's going to get to host Bachelor Pad or go on Dancing With The Stars.
Sars: What she's going to get is fat. Because when she realizes they have nothing in common but this experience, yikes. Like, POWs don't marry each other either, I'm sorry.
Alli: I just found that the more he acted entitled, the more I hated him.
Sars: At least last time he pretended to consider moving for them. And he would have to move for Emily, probably. Which he should; that house was sweet.
Alli: RIGHT? Yeesh. I hate myself for thinking "Insurance settlement?" but I did.
Sars: Oh, so did I. Or "cheap NC real estate."
Alli: Fortunately, the kid is having her income supplemented with a kite.
Sars: Yeah, it's too bad, because I like Emily, but she can do better anyway.
Alli: She can. You could tell that on the no-kiss thing, she'd started to be like, "You know, this guy may be a doof."
Sars: Totally. Again, too Southern to let it rip, really, but I could sense some annoyance. Not as great as my own that we've still got like fifty episodes of this nonsense left, but still.

Talk:OLPCorps Kyambogo University Uganda
From OLPC
Project Scope
- It sounds like a very ambitious project -- 25 schools listed and a broad range of project goals (computer skills training for educators, computer-based HIV/AIDS project, listening to student voices). Given the constraints of having only 100 laptops, two team members, you may want to consider limiting the scope of your project, at least for the first 10 weeks.
- Focusing on implementing a laptop distribution in one school and focusing your 10 weeks on one project area would allow you to have a deeper impact with the laptops and a more solid core of students and teachers to continue working with -- especially since you are both local to Uganda!
- Your long term goals for this project are fantastic, I hope your project takes off!

Bob Hackey joined the faculty of the Health Policy and Management program at Providence College faculty in 1999, and was promoted to the rank of Professor in 2002. He was appointed as Director of the HPM program in 2010. His principal areas of teaching and research include health care reform, hospital regulation, health planning and certificate of need regulation, and health care in popular culture.
About Cries of Crisis
Since the late 1960s, health care in the United States has been described as a system in crisis. No matter their position, those seeking to improve the system have relied on the rhetoric of crisis to build support for their preferred remedies, to the point where the language and imagery of a health care crisis are now deeply embedded in contemporary politics and popular culture. Here, Robert B. Hackey analyzes media coverage, political speeches, films, and television shows to demonstrate the role that language and symbolism have played in framing the health care debate, shaping policy making, and influencing public perceptions of problems in the health care system. He demonstrates that the idea of crisis now means so many different things to so many different groups that it has ceased to have any shared meaning at all. He argues that the ceaseless talk of "crisis," without a commonly accepted definition of that term, has actually impeded efforts to diagnose and treat the chronic problems plaguing the American health care system. Instead, he contends, reformers must embrace a new rhetorical strategy that links proposals to improve the system with deeply held American values like equality and fairness.

(August 5, 2008) – Memorial University Medical Center (MUMC) has received the American Stroke Association's Get With The Guidelines Stroke (GWTG–Stroke) Silver Performance Achievement Award. The award recognizes MUMC's commitment and success in implementing a higher standard of stroke care by ensuring that stroke patients receive treatment according to nationally accepted standards and recommendations. "With a stroke, time lost is brain lost, and this award addresses the important element of time. We have developed a comprehensive system for rapid diagnosis and treatment of stroke patients admitted to the emergency department. This includes always being equipped to provide brain imaging scans, having neurologists available to conduct patient evaluations, and using clot-busting medications when appropriate," said Ramon Meguiar, M.D., senior vice president and chief medical officer at MUMC.To receive the GWTG-Stroke Silver Performance Achievement Award, MUMC consistently complied for at least one year with the requirements in the GWTG–Stroke program. These include aggressive use of medications like tPA, antithrombotics, anticoagulation therapy, DVT prophylaxis, cholesterol reducing drugs, and smoking cessation. This 12-month evaluation period is the second in an ongoing self-evaluation by the hospital to continually reach the 85 percent compliance level needed to sustain this award."The American Stroke Association commends MUMC for its success in implementing standards of care and protocols," said Lee H. Schwamm, M.D., national Get With the Guidelines Steering Committee member and director of acute stroke services at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. "The full implementation of acute care and secondary prevention recommendations and guidelines is a critical step in saving the lives and improving outcomes of stroke patients." According to the American Stroke Association, each year approximately 700,000 people suffer a stroke — 500,000 are first attacks and 200,000 are recurrent. Of stroke survivors, 21 percent of men and 24 percent of women die within a year, and for those aged 65 and older, the percentage is even higher. Memorial University Medical Center is a two-state healthcare organization serving a 35-county area in southeast Georgia and southern South Carolina. The system includes its flagship hospital, a 530-bed tertiary medical center; Memorial primary and specialty care physician networks; a major medical education program; business and industry services; and NurseOne, a 24-hour call center. Memorial University Medical Center has been named a Distinguished Hospital by J.D. Power and Associates four years in a row for providing an outstanding patient experience.

Tim Roth: If it ain't 'Broken'…November 4, 2013
Where some Brits take immediately to the perpetual sunshine and warm weather of Los Angeles, Tim Roth was a tougher sell.
"I didn't like it for a good two years," he says in a telephone interview. "I found it difficult. It was so shiny on the surface, but spiky underneath. The work seemed very superficial. Then I started working – and the Americans employed me. They're good people to stay around."
Roth did go back to the U.K. for "Broken," however. The film, a darling of the festival circuit that had a strong arthouse release in the U.S. earlier this year, is being released on DVD Tuesday (11/5/13).
Roth, who has played his share of shifty and blood-thirsty types in a film career of three decades, plays a reasonable, caring solicitor in north London. His adolescent daughter, Skunk (Eloise Laurence), gets caught up in a neighborhood incident involving a violent single father and a mentally challenged young man who lives on the street.
"I got involved in the film because the producer was a friend – he was the producer on a film I directed, 'The War Zone'," Roth says. "I was interested in what he was doing and he sent me this script. But there was another actor attached to play the part. I said, 'Well, if he ever drops out, let me know.' And then he dropped out."
Roth's character is the one who sees the way through the mounting problem. The actor brings a quiet strength to the role – and says he was attracted by the character's unspoken competence.
"He has this gentle quality, it's almost like he plays an invisible role," Roth says.
Since he broke out in American films in the early 1990s in the films of Quentin Tarantino, Roth, 52, has been a constant presence, in everything from studio films to a long-running string of independent films that has included productions all over Europe with emerging directors there.
"You make them for less money and you do it for love," Roth says. "It's a very difficult process to production. But I feel things are looking up over there and over here. The scripts I'm reading and the quality of the material that's getting made – there are a lot of very interesting films coming up. A lot of them remind me of the days when we felt we could do anything. Then people dig in and stop taking risks."
Roth moved from film to American network television for his series, "Lie to Me," about a behaviorist who specialized in reading body language to solve crimes. He worked on the Fox series for two seasons and was glad he took the plunge.
"But it was really hard," he complains, "as far as being physically hard. I enjoyed it but, at the beginning, I wasn't as keen. By the third episide, I was kind of enjoying the process. It felt like theater, keeping the truth of a character. I'd done TV, but not in this country. In spite of the long hours, it was completely enjoyable."
Getting his chance to direct the domestic drama, "The War Zone," in 1999 was "the best job I ever had," Roth says. "As an actor, you spend your time as part of another person's world. As director, it's my world; I get to explore what I like. It was a fascinating experience. I hope I can do it again."
The son of a British mother and American father, Roth grew up in England and considers himself "British in America. And I have kids in both countries. And I'm about to reach the point where I've lived in America longer than I lived in England."
Roth clings to the willingness to chase the unexpected as an actor. While he says bad films are obvious from the get-go ("You know before you sign on if it's bad"), what keeps him going is possibility of the unexpected.
"There's always a surprise element," he says. "You always hope that will happen."Print This Post

Can't wait to see "Broken". I adore Tim Roth movies because his characters are always intriguing. Watched "The Liability" yesterday. If you haven't seen "The Liability", put it on your list. Tim must work overtime to find these gems of his. He is such an incredible actor and in "The Liability" he does things with his eyes and face that are so subtle, yet speak so loudly that no words are necessary to tell you what his character, Roy, is thinking. Plus some other fun pieces of business that I don't want to give away.
Thank you for interviewing him and for him sharing with his fans.

"Broken" is a must see! A compelling story that is beautifully acted by the entire cast. Direction is spot on. Tim Roth plays a well-adjusted person for a change but he still imbues his character with nuance. This movie is a gem on many levels.

Doug, who is a student in Lily's class, was the same kid who blackmailed Marshall in "Monday Night Football". However, because he was in kindergarten last season, he should be in the 1st grade in this episode and, therefore, not in Lily's class again.
Marshall: I am not irrelevant!
Ted: What?
Marshall: I crunched the numbers. If Lily and I have sex twice a week—which let's face it, all know is being conservative—and we've been together ten years, plus seventeen more times on the honeymoon, minus a two-week break when I said the check-out girl at the supermarket reminded me of a young Lily, then we've had sex 1,053 and a half times! (Barney and Ted look confused) My mom called once. That's more times than Barney's ever had sex and to your point Ted, Lily is a quality girl. I win! Lawyered.
Barney: Doesn't count.
Marshall: It has to!
Ted: It does. It counts as one time. You've had sex once. How was it?
Marshall: I still matter!
Robin: Kids aren't my favorite thing ever, but I like them. Ted: But you don't want to have them. Robin: I like sports cars, but that doesn't mean I want to push a Ferrari through my vagina. Barney: Shotgun!
Robin: Hey, what's my 'but'? You know, I'm really nice, but...
Ted: (thinking) But she's afraid of commitment.
Lily: (thinking) But she's a gun nut.
Barney: (thinking) But she's Canadian.
Marshall: (thinking) But she didn't like Field Of Dreams.
Barney: I can't think of anything.
Ted: You don't have a but!
Ted: When someone wants to set you up, they tell you all their good qualities first, but they leave out their huge flaw.
Barney: She's totally hot and really fun. (thinking) But she has a dead tooth.
Marshall: She's super hot, and she's so successful. (thinking) But she has a pug she pushes around in a stroller.
Lily: She's so cute and she's so smart. (Thinking) But her last boyfriend had to get a restraining order against her, and then his cat and new vacuum cleaner both went missing.
Ted: Wow. Set it up!
Ted: I'm still convinced she killed my turtle.
Barney: Which one of us has more game?
Marshall: Neither one of you has any game, right? Or else you'd be married. Like me.
Barney: What?
Marshall: If dating is the game, then marriage is winning the game.
Ted: If you're playing in the women's league.
Marshall: Wow. You're here, and not in stall 2.
Ted: Yeah, so?
Marshall: I might have made some wildly inappropriate homo-erotic comments to a man wearing your shoes.
Ted: I got so much game, I'm a Cornish game hen.
Barney: Oh, yeah? I got so much game, I'm the New York state gaming commissioner.
Ted: Well, I'm The Game: well-crafted, keep-you-guessing thriller starring Michael Douglas and Sean Penn.
Young Katie: Robin, will you watch cartoons with me?
Young Robin: I go to school all week. Can't I have just five minutes to myself to read Highlights and drink my juice?
Lily: Dumped by a six-year-old.
Robin: Whatever, he's a stupid-head.
Robin: (the guy she's dating has a kid) Why is this kid around anyway? Shouldn't he be with his mother? I mean, what kind of lawyer does this guy have if he has to take care of the kid all the time?
Lily: A good one. He won full custody.
Robin: "He won?" (confused) He won? Oh, God, getting the kid is "winning", isn't it? Don't tell anyone I said that.
Barney: You can't spell "game" without "me", and me has the best game.
Marshall: We've had sex 1,053½ times... my mom called once.
Lily: Well, there's nothing wrong with this guy. He's really nice and he's really cute.
Ted: But…
Lily: Fine. But he has a kid.
Marshall: Oh…
Ted: Aha there it is. Robin is not going out with a guy with a kid.
Lily: But the guy is really great and his kid's sweet. He's in my class.
Ted: It doesn't matter. Robin hates kids.
Robin: I don't hate kids.
Ted: You told me even when you were a kid you hated kids.

When Robin calls Lily while she's watching Doug, she slowly says (about Doug), "It's right here, Lily. It's looking at me." That line is said by Dr. Peter Venkman about Slimer in the first Ghostbusters movie (except he was talking to Ray).

Not that it matters, but the Jaguars have been outscored 64-16 in two preseason losses under new head coach Gus Bradley. Jacksonville can run the football, so that's the test for the Eagles' defense tonight.
So let's talk about the defense for just a minute.
Allen continues to start and he played well last week against Carolina.
Want a guess on the five safeties on the roster? Chung, Allen, Wolff,
- Interesting questions in The Florida Times-Union today and an indication of just how much defenses think of Chip Kelly's' offense and the challenges it presents. "It's been a little bit tricky to prepare, just because they're so unique offensively," said linebacker Russell Allen. "They do things that you don't see every week, especially with their tempo. Typically, you're seeing the same plays out of the same formations, it's just more tendencies. It changes your week of preparation quite a bit."
- He's a game-time decision because of a hip-flexor injury, but Luke Joeckel was the Jags' first-round draft pick in April, and the second draft pick overall. Meanwhile,
Lane Johnsonhas been absolutely terrific in his time with the Eagles, and he'll get a look at former Eagle Jason Babin tonight. It's a good test for Johnson against a veteran speed rusher who has a history of getting to the quarterback.
- The Eagles have to release 13 players prior to Tuesday's 4 p.m. deadline to reach the 75-man roster limit, and the question is this: How many of those 13 players will see time tonight? It's tough to get many reps when the starters are expected to play at least a half.
- How many tiight ends can the Eagles keep? If they're going to use as many as three in a game at a time, they could very well keep four and maybe even five on the 53-man roster. I don't have any idea what Kelly is thinking, but the Eagles sure have a lot of talent at the position and are going to use it.
- Don't expect newly acquired
Adrian Robinsonto play tonight, unless he gets a rep or two on special teams. Robinson doesn't have much time to impress the coaches. The Eagles have Sunday off, then a full practice on Monday and Tuesday before tapering down for Thursday's preseason finale at the Jets. Greg Salashas done a good job opening eyes and putting himself in position for strong consideration to make this roster. He has caught everything in the last three weeks, sometimes in spectacular fashion, and Salas has been a solid player on special teams. If the Eagles keep five receivers, and who knows how the numbers break down, Salas would appear to have the lead among the current players on the roster. He needs to keep it going, and Salas should expect a lot of reps on Thursday against the Jets.
- We're seeing the value of veteran
Donnie Jonesat punter. He's an excellent directional kicker who has outstanding hang time, and the Eagles have the opportunity to get down the field and cover. Brad Winghas a big leg and a future, and his consistency is improving. It's been a good competition that has helped both men.
- What kind of depth do the Eagles have along the offensive line? It's a good question and something that needs to be identified.
Allen Barbrehas had a good summer and can play tackle and guard. Julian Vanderveldeis backing up at center, and he also has the ability to play guard. Dennis Kellyis out with a back injury and there is no word on when he will return. Kelly is a key player in this picture. Danny Watkins? There is a spot to be earned here. Michael Bamirotook a step forward with his play last week.

What is Direct Thermal Printing?
Thermal printing (or direct thermal printing) is a digital printing process which produces a printed image by selectively heating coated thermochromic paper, or thermal paper as it is commonly known, when the paper passes over the thermal print head.
What is Thermal Transfer Printing?
Thermal transfer printing is a digital printing process in which material is applied to paper (or some other material) by melting a coating of ribbon so that it stays glued to the material on which the print is applied. It contrasts with direct thermal printing where no ribbon is present in the process.

What began as a collision in southwest Edmonton became an abduction and beating Monday morning, police say.
At around 8 a.m. a car rammed a Cadillac Escalade SUV in a Terwillegar neighbourhood. Three or four men jumped out of the car and began beating the driver of the SUV.
The victim was taken to a nearby home where he was beaten again.
He eventually escaped, ran to a neighbouring home and police were called.
Police believe a gun may have been involved so the tactical team was called to search the house.
The victim was taken to hospital and one suspect was arrested. Police are looking for two or three other suspects.
Police believe the events were drug related and that all the people involved knew each other.

I.T. Skills 4 Rural Kenya is an Award winning, registered charity in England and Wales. It was founded in 2005 by Kenyan born, Mr. Edward Kibosek. The idea came about as a result of a practical community classroom exercise at the University of Brighton in the United Kingdom and was part of the Community Informatics module that Mr. Kibosek attended in 2002. The aim of the initiative is to empower people in rural villages in Kenya through:
Our vision is to establish over 195 Mtandao Viganjani ICT Initiatives (Swahili for Internet on the thumb). These Mtandao Viganjani Initiatives are Community owned rural networks that act as diverse community information resource mobilisation centres, community advocacy and awareness spaces and a converging point of community synergy through ICTs. Our remit is to establishing these centres across 47 Counties in Kenya. This is a project that will need 20,000 computers, 1000 volunteers and will bring proximate ICT driven opportunities to 2,000,000 Kenyans.
We at I.T. Skills 4 Rural Kenya have since our inception sought to establish ourselves as a capacity building organisation, providing equal opportunities to rural based communities in Kenya through access to affordable ICT facilities and training with the hope of bridging the ever widening digital divide between rural and urban centres in Kenya.

Investors are watching Great Panther Silver Limited (:GPL) ahead of the market open as shares are gapping down -0.84% with the stock currently sitting at $1.19.
Investors might be trying to figure out an investment plan that is right for them. Some may opt to go with a short-term plan, and others may choose to invest in stocks for the long haul. The thought of creating a defined plan may be overwhelming to some. Comparing the plusses and minuses of both may be a good way to start forming a strategy. Investing for the short-term may offer chances to capitalize on gains over a few weeks or months. There may be more fluctuations to deal with in the short-term, but the rewards may be greater if managed properly. One drawback of investing for the short-term is that it may involve more risk. The element of correct timing comes into play when trying to enter or exit a position, which may not be for everyone. Investing for the long-term may be a safer way to go as investors are typically looking for smaller gains over a longer period of time.
Dedicated investors tend to spend a lot of time trying to decipher the correct procedure for beating the stock market. This may involve figuring out a proper strategy, and deciding which stocks to start with when constructing a portfolio. Building a portfolio does not have to be a frantic race. In fact, not rushing into things may end up putting the investor in a good position to succeed. There are times when tough decisions need to be made when dealing with the equity market. Spending enough time to assess all the possibilities before making an investing decision may pay off down the road. As most investors know, there is no magic formula for coming out a winner in the stock market. Acquiring the most possible knowledge about the markets and individual stocks can play a vital role in the long-term success of the individual investor.
Great Panther Silver Limited (:GPL)'s performance this year to date is -7.75%. The stock has performed -3.25% over the last seven days, -15.00% over the last thirty, and -0.83% over the last three months. Over the last six months, Great Panther Silver Limited's stock has been -7.03% and -43.06% for the year.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/39jftv/global_and) has announced the addition of the "Global and Chinese IC Advanced Packaging Industry Report, 2013-2014" report to their offering.
Typically, an independent packaging and testing vendor is known as OSAT. In 1997, the OSAT industry scale was no more than USD5.1 billion or so, making up 19.6% of the semiconductor industry, in sharp contrast to the market size of USD23.6 billion in 2011, a figure that occupied 30% of the semiconductor industry. During 2011-2013, the packaging and testing industry saw an AAGR of less than 5% for 3 consecutive years, which mainly resulted from the fact the advanced packaging technologies developed from 2005-2010 period began to be popularized, thus leading to a dramatic decline in unit prices, these packaging technologies including FC-BGA, WLCSP, QFN, SiP, and PoP, etc.
In 2014, the biggest event that happened to the packaging industry was nothing but the attempt of Temasek to sell STATS ChipPAC, the world's fifth largest packaging company. Owned by the Government of Singapore, STATS ChipPAC is less competitive, especially when facing the competition from the Taiwanese rivals. Although it has state-of-the-art technologies, yet the company depends heavily on its key accounts, including Infineon, Apple Inc., Qualcomm, and Broadcom, etc. However, Infineon has gradually withdrawn from mobile phone market while Apple Inc. and Qualcomm have diversified supply chain risks, cutting down on the orders of STATS ChipPAC, which led to a fall in revenue for four consecutive years.
In addition, a second major event was the fact that SPIL had won massive orders from Qualcomm, MTK as well as Huawei's Hisilicon, which would considerably increase SPIL's revenue. In H1 2014, SPIL harvested a substantial growth of 27% in revenue, making it the world's No.1 by operating margin. In 2014, the company is expected to surpass Amkor as the global second.
In terms of technology, 3D (TSV) application is not yet so mature that the market is still confined to such non-mainstream fields as CIS, MEMS, and HB LED. The key Logic+Memory market has not made progress and will not get improvements in the coming 5 years, with PoP packaging still the mainstream. This comes mainly from the following reasons:
Key Topics Covered:
1. Global Semiconductor Industry
- Supply Chain
- Semiconductor Packaging Introduction
2. Upstream & Downstream of IC Packaging Industry
- Semiconductor Industry by Location
- Semiconductor Industry Capital Spending Trend
- DRAM Industry
