ISBN: 978-0-745-62669-7 September 2004 Polity 216 Pages
Are we in the midst of a digital revolution? Have new information and communication technologies given birth to a new form of society, or do they reinforce and extend existing patterns and relationships? This book provides a clear and engaging discussion of these and other questions. Using a sophisticated model of the relationship between technology and society, Barney investigates both what has changed, and what has remained the same, in the age of the Internet.
Among the issues discussed are debates concerning the emergence of a 'knowledge economy'; digital restructuring of employment and work; globalization and the status of the nation-state; the prospects of digital democracy; the digital divide; new social movements; and culture, community and identity in the age of new media.
This book provides an accessible resource for a thoughtful engagement with life in the network society. It will be essential reading for students in sociology and media and communication studies. This will be a valuable textbook for undergraduate students of sociology and media and communication studies.

It was Floyd Landis, as expected, rolling to victory in the Tour de France. Thor Hushovd won the final stage, which earns him not much more than a hearty pat on the back. It's Floyd who will sip the victory champagne, maybe for the first time in his life. That's a guess. Floyd just looks like a guy who, at any point in his life that has called for celebration, has yelled out, "Someone get me a Schlitz!"
Again, congratulations to Floyd Landis. I think it's about time we just moved this race to America, just to save our guys the travel time.

Are Payroll Software Solutions Worth it?
Managing small business payroll is not as easy as people like to make out. Usually people who talk about it have worked in the same payroll manager position for many years and are used to dealing with W-4's, or W-9's suitable for contractors for the IRS. However, when running a small business, learning how to do payroll yourself takes time.
There are different choices when running payroll, paying wages or tracking staff hours. Small businesses can stick to doing it manually, they can use software to help with the payroll aspect, or use an integrated management solution that practically does it all for you.
Let's now look at these choices in a little more detail.
Software for Payroll
Software is available just to run payroll. It will happily tot up the pay that's due for each worker, perform the payroll calculations, prepare the tax forms for payroll to the IRS, and initiate the bank wire transfers to pay each employee.
This works fine for small to mid-size companies where staff tend to have fixed salaries without overtime where monitoring individual hours worked is less of a concern. For simpler payroll which doesn't usually include time clock tracking, managerial oversight and sign-off, and other niceties, these solutions are quite workable.
When you need to go beyond the basics by integrating the functions of time tracking, vacation time, time sheets with GPS verification, along with detailed reporting at the local or regional level, a more integrated software solution is required.
Manual Payroll
Manual payroll can certainly be done with the help of a calculator, a ledger, and a solid understanding of the relevant tax rules. For people who have always completed payroll this way and have never moved up to a more sophisticated software solution, it's certainly possible to continue in this manner. However, it doesn't scale well at all when the company grows with an increasing number of employees, part-time workers and contractors.
Some parts of a manual process might still use computerized solutions to help out e.g. a timesheet for people to sign in and out or the collected monthly records from a clock-in/clock-out machine might confirm hours worked. Companies might have gone a little high-tech with biometric badges that confirm who's on-site, when they arrived and when they left for the day. Some aspects of payroll might be performed in Excel too.
No matter the manual payroll procedures and patchwork software solutions deployed to complete payroll each pay period, it becomes awfully messy as a few employees gradually become a substantial workforce.
Better Managerial Oversight Using Software Solutions
Appropriate managerial oversight, particularly within the finance department is important. When there's ever been an issue over questionable financial transactions and enquiries with the bank about them, having the right information to hand means issues get detected earlier.
With software solutions that offer digital timesheet recording, a supervisor can look over the timesheet information provided using a mobile app to check it for errors. This avoids either over- or under-paying members of staff by mistake.
Software for Payroll and Time Tracking
You can save even more time and stress if the software you use to run payroll also captures your time tracking data. This is especially valuable for larger, more mature businesses with many employees. Anyone working in a payroll role within an accounting department can quickly become overwhelmed by the complex task of aggregating and verifying time and attendance data for a large staff list. By generating ready-to-run payroll reports based directly on the data captured by your time clock, these more comprehensive software products can save your accounting team hours of work.
Customized Reporting and Data Analytics
Customized reporting and detailed analytical data are useful for senior managers concerned about the rising cost of payroll or spikes in the demand for staff in a seasonable business where payroll grows substantially. Rather than operating largely in the dark over variable staffing costs, by using excellent payroll software from a quality provider, it's possible to compare month-to-month and past seasons' staffing expenses.
When credible data is available, senior managers can better appreciate whether the workforce is growing with demand at the same rate or a greater number of staff members are managing less business revenue per employee. The latter indicates either a reduction in worker efficiency or perhaps low revenue per sale compared to previous years due to scaling up into less profitable markets.
While there's no doubt that some companies can function satisfactorily using a purely manual system for payroll calculation and payments to staff, as the companies grow, running payroll becomes far less manageable this way. Some firms will move to payroll outsourcing, but this has worrisome security considerations and costs grow notably as the staffing roster balloons up. Managing payroll in-house using sophisticated, scalable software solutions is a far better option for most companies.

The Essential Guide To Securing Funding For Your Startup
If you are planning on launching your very own startup, the chances are that you are excited, nervous and panic-stricken at various times throughout the day. Waving goodbye to excellent promotion prospects, job security and office banter is hard enough, but not knowing when your next paycheck will arrive can cause worries.
However, transforming your business dream into a reality takes courage and determination. Many people have visions of becoming an entrepreneur but very few actually take the bold step to give it a go. Your startup will need funding. However, it can be difficult to know where to turn for cash. Take a look at this guide to help you secure funding for your startup.
The Bank
The most traditional method for business funding is to pay a visit to your bank manager. Suited and booted, you should know your figures, sums and business vision inside out, ready to seduce the bank manager and convince him to part with his cash. When you enter the bank, you should have your comprehensive business plan in your hand, ready for it to be heavily scrutinized. A bank needs to know that you are a responsible borrower and that you have mitigated risk within your plan.
Ensure that you have crunched your numbers and that you know your financial forecasting for at least the next two years. Make sure that you are passionate in your pitch. Inject a little personality into your words and show off your enthusiasm for your product or service. Demonstrate your flair and business acumen and create an excellent impression. On occasion, banks will deny your loan application and if this happens to you, don't feel like your business plans are shattered. You simply need to take another approach.
Business Angels
If you want to go down another funding route, a business angel could be the ideal path to follow. These individuals are experts in their fields and love investing their own cash into small enterprises. They want to help upcoming entrepreneurs make their mark in their chosen sectors. If you can secure funding from a business angel, you will have an idea that is validated. They will be investing in you as much as your business plan. Rather than just a monetary investment, business angels will be on hand to give advice, help you network, and be a listening ear if you have any startup problems.
If you are looking for a more flexible and postmodern way to secure funding, it might be worth looking into crowdfunding. By pitching your product or service online, you can attract a global market who might be keen to stake a claim in your business. You can offer discounts, shares or a return in order to attract investment from the amateur armchair investor. While each investments might be small, if you can secure hundreds if not thousands of tiny investments, this can soon add up to a larger pot of funding.
If you are keen to take your first steps into the world of entrepreneurship, follow this guide to help secure funding for your startup.

5 Small Businesses Tips to Help You Get Ahead
Few things have the potential to fire the imagination quite like the prospect of being your own boss. That has long been the dream of so many Canadians. From British Columbia to Nova Scotia, the plains and the Territories, Quebec and Calgary and everywhere in between, Canadians love the idea of striking out on their own and taking charge of their destiny.
Starting a small business of your own can be a great way to do just that. What's more, a small business could always grow into something more someday – if you foster its growth properly. From conception to execution to securing a small business loan, here are a few tips as to how to do just that.
1. Be Ambitious
First and foremost, you're going to want to be ambitious and dream big. Even if you plan on keeping things local and don't imagine yourself becoming the next Tim Horton's, there's still no harm in at least thinking of your business on a grander scale. If you ever decide to expand, you'll have plans in place – and if not, you'll still be in the right mindset to manage your business well.
Entering into things imaging your business as "just" a small store or restaurant can lead to you underselling your vision – and yourself. Imaging your company as having the potential to be something more can be a great way to do the same for yourself and your coworkers, thereby keeping everyone focused and motivated.
2. Don't Overreach
That being said, dreams are one thing – reality is quite another. While it is advisable and even admirable to reach for the stars to some extent, you don't want to overreach yourself, either. This is especially pertinent when it comes to resource management. A company like Tim Horton's is able to operate the way it does in part because it has far more resources than your small business does.
As such, while envisioning your company on a grand scale can be good aspirational thinking and a good future goal, running your new small business as if it were already a major corporation can have serious drawbacks. You risk overworking your employees, overtaxing your resources, and flaming out all too quickly.
3. Have a Clear Plan
That's why it is essential that you have a clear plan from the start. This can help ensure that you get the best of both worlds. On one hand, it can help you plot out your ideas for expansion, making them feel a little more "real" while simultaneously helping everyone stay on the same page as to the direction of your small business. On the other hand, it can also help remind everyone as to where you are right now. You're a small business with big plans for the future – but still operating as a small business here in the present.
4. Securing a Loan
To realize those ambitions and grow them over time, you are going to need some capital and Thinking Capital resources, is a knowledge center for businesses considering funding. It's important to be very careful about the length and terms of small business loans. Every small business is different, so you'll want to make sure that the loan is tailored to suit your needs.
5. Experience on Your Side
Last but not least, when it comes to preparing your small business for the future, you might want to seek out some advice. The best small business consulting firms have decades of experience to their credit, and can help you position, invest in, and grow your small business in a way that makes sense for your company.
Grow your small business in a big way with these helpful business tips.

5 Hidden Costs Of Starting And Running A Business
Starting and running a business isn't cheap. As the old adage goes, it takes money to make money, and that has never been truer than when it comes to starting a venture. So when creating your budget plan, it is important that you include all the costs that go into running a business.
Knowing what expenses go into running a business can help you not only start the business but ensure you remain in business. Here are five business expenses you need to take into consideration.
1. Employee Benefits and Perks
In addition to wages, there are several employee costs that you must take into account when running your business. Payroll taxes, benefits, and retirement plans are some expenses that, when not accounted for, could cause your business to run you into the red. It's also important to add smaller expenses such as paid time off, training, conferences, employee turnover costs and office perks as they can add up very quickly.
2. Insurance
When you start your business, you might not need a lot of insurance. At the bare minimum, you'll need liability insurance to protect yourself from liability risks imposed by lawsuits or similar claims. As time goes by, you'll need more insurance policies to protect your business. This includes worker's compensation insurance, errors and omissions insurance, property insurance, and business interruption insurance.
The type of policy and amount of insurance coverage you need will depend on several factors, including the type of business, size of business, number of employees, risk factors and revenue. These hidden costs can make it hard to stay on track if you don't include them in your business plan.
3. Taxes
Taxes can be an unpleasant surprise for new business owners, especially if they aren't generating money. Even if you aren't making much, paying taxes can hurt your business in the first few years. One type of tax you need to pay is the self-employment tax which is more than 8% of your adjusted gross income. You'll also pay additional taxes every year to incorporate your business, no matter if you have revenue or not.
There are lots of resources on the internet that can help you estimate the total amount of taxes you'll need to fulfill your initial expenses. A business startup cost calculator can provide a rough estimate of all the taxes fees you are required to pay when starting and running your business. It can also estimate the total amount of capital you'll need during your first year in business.
4. Legal Fees
Legal fees are the number one hidden cost for small businesses. This is because small companies are victims of frivolous lawsuits as they are more likely than large organizations to settle rather than litigate. In 2008 alone, the tort liability price tag for small businesses was a staggering $105.4 billion dollars. Settling cases for small businesses costs less than $5,000, but even as low as $1,000 can be significant for a small business.
5. Administrative Costs
These costs will sneak up on you if you don't include them in your business budget plan. The costs include all basic office equipment like desk, chairs, computers, filing cabinets, printers, utilities, software and office cleaning equipment to name a few.
Planning your business budget is one of the most stressful but important parts of entrepreneurship. Including these five hidden costs in the budget can go a long way toward getting your business up and running.

7 Ways to Cut Costs in a Small Business
Cutting costs in a small business doesn't have to be complicated or time consuming; the trick is knowing where to look. What may appear small costs on a daily or even monthly basis will add up over time to a significant amount. If you can put yourself in a budgeting mindset, you will be able to identify the must-haves from the nice-to-haves and the essentials from the luxuries.
Of course, cutting costs is not always about not spending money; it can also be about learning to spend your money in smarter ways. Here are 7 ways you can cut business costs and, ultimately, increase profits.
1. Embrace Technology
Technology and business software have moved on considerably in recent years enabling us to streamline efficiency and modernize our operation on a whole new level. Online payment services, accountancy software, online conferencing services, social media platforms…there are a huge number of ways to make your business more efficient and easier to manage.
2. Go Paperless
If you're still printing and posting your communications and marketing materials, you should try and move as much as possible online. You can send communications and invoices via email and can keep your company's key data in a more secure virtual Cloud storage system rather than a filing cabinet. You'll save on the cost of paper, ink, envelopes, and postage, and also make your operation more environmentally friendly through reduced waste.
3. Try (Or Do More) Online Marketing
For most businesses, online marketing is no longer an option; it's a necessity. From a website optimized for search engines to informative blogs and engaging and entertaining social media marketing, online advertising can yield great results in terms of brand awareness and sales with minimal costs.
4. Stick to a Budget
You can't make business decisions without a budget; you need to know exactly what is coming into your business account every day and what is coming in, so it's important to get the right system which enables you to do this. Stick to a strict, cost-reducing budget as much as you can, and you should reap the benefits very soon.
5. Switch Utility Suppliers
A quick and easy way to save money is to switch your business utilities, supplier. There are lots of suppliers out there and changing to a cheaper tariff could save you a significant amount of money each month. It may also be worth considering swapping a traditional phone line for mobile phone contracts or virtual phone systems which use an internet connection rather than a landline.
6. Consider Cheaper Premises
If you can be flexible about where you run your business from, you should consider whether you could be saving money by making a change. You may be able to downsize to smaller premises, sharing office space or even working from home. If you have employees, they may be able to telecommute.
7. Buy Second-hand or Refurbished Equipment
You may be able to reduce business costs by opting for refurbished furniture and equipment rather than brand new items. Many brands offer a good range of their products at discounted prices.

Making Something Out of Nothing: Business Grants Can Make Your Business Grow
Money. Most people need some, others need a lot. For the very few, they can never have too much money. And for these people, business is the way to their pursuit of happiness and success.
But as you all may already know, much like the pursuit of any dream, the road to success is paved with rough terrain and unexpected detours. But all that comes later on in your journey. The old adage remains true here — taking the first step is the very first step.
In business, that first step often translates to whether or not you're able to generate funds for the business i.e. capital. And that, my friends, is often when many would-be entrepreneurs become disheartened. Because, whether you want it or not, setting up a business is going to require a significant amount of money, something that not everybody has access to.
Unless, of course, you're able to secure money from a different source.
Raising Capital
There are many ways to raise money, but crowd sourcing and business grants seem to be the most popular method as of late. And it's only rightly so. But between the two, business grants are more secure and they are also more predictable.
With crowdsourced funds, you're banking a lot on how well people are going to react to your proposal. You're going to have to convince a lot of people to get the money you need. With business grants, you only need to convince the grantor that your idea has merit — this is not as easy a task as it seems!
What Is a Business Grant?
According to the Balance.com article, "small business grants are small amounts of seed money that further the goals of federal, state, or non-profit organizations." The main difference between a business grant and a loan is that those who are given small business grants are not required to repay the amount of the business grant.
However, while this may seem like free money to the uninitiated, the difficulty lies in being able to convince grantors to entrust money to you.
This is because grantors are more careful in awarding their grants. For reference, the Federal Government does not award grants to help businesses start or expand. The only businesses that are awarded Government grants are those that yield the most success and in certain industries like medical research, science or environment.
Furthermore, there are many types of grants for specific business types.
Exactly How Important Is A Business Grant?
For a lot of businesses, a grant can mean the difference between success and failure. You may have the most brilliant idea but if you don't have the resources to make that idea come into fruition it won't mean much. This rings true even when you're sure that you're going to have a very profitable business venture.
A prime example of a business that could quite possibly benefit from a small business grant is Alte, a company that seeks to retrofit existing public transportation fleets with hybrid drivetrains which are more efficient as you put more miles on your vehicle.
Approximately 62 billion dollars is spent on new vehicles every year. Alte's hybrid power trains could provide a better alternative to fleet owners as these hybrid drive trains would preserve the longevity of their vehicles.
Not only would fleet owners be able to get more use out of their vehicles, but the company would also be earning about 2 billion dollars of revenue every year. The only problem is that the company needs 130 million dollars to start production, a venture capital amount that could be easily solved by a business grant.
So, as you can already tell, business grants have the power to alter the fortunes of a startup. There are many ways to secure a business grant and sometimes you can even get one through a contest, such as this Fedex small business grant contest.

Brexit, Business & The Markets
No matter how you try and look at it, the word 'uncertainty' will always come to mind when discussing Brexit. Everyone is uncertain of how things will pan out when Brexit actually happens, and the UK leaves the EU. How will this affect exchange rates? What will it mean for small businesses?
There are more questions than answers as we can only really speculate based on predictions and things that have already happened. As such, we've tried to create a summary of everything that you need to know about Brexit, business, and the money markets.
The Current Brexit Timeline
Before we begin, it's a good idea to see where we are in the Brexit timeline. Research from DailyFX – In June 2016 the UK public voted to leave the EU. This was followed by the triggering of Article 50 in March 2017 to show the EU that the UK will leave in 2 years. Fast forward to March 2019, and we're currently in the midst of a deal being drawn up that parliament will vote for or against. If they agree, we leave the EU and go into a transition period that takes the UK up to December 2020 when the government and EU agree on the future relationship. If no deal is approved, then the UK just leaves the EU without a deal.
Why is all of this important? Because it's having a crazy effect on the money markets – particularly the exchange rates. Not only that, but business owners have no clue what this will mean for them.
Uncertainty From The Beginning
We can only speculate about how businesses will function after Brexit, but there's no denying that confidence is at an all-time low. Everyone is predicting a period of financial uncertainty because some big companies may cease investment in UK goods, which is bad for all businesses in the UK. Then, there are the EU Trade Regulations that could start charging the UK when trading with countries from the EU. As such, it becomes more expensive to purchase raw materials for small businesses, which could put a lot of people in a dangerous situation.
Everyone was uncertain from the moment Brexit was announced, and things appear to be even worse right now.
Problems In The Money Markets
If you look at the currency exchange markets, there are recent indications of problems for GBP. Specifically, the GBP/JPY pairing is trading in the red in Asia. Experts say this is thanks to the current negotiations about the Brexit deal. Nobody really has a clue what's going to happen, which creates further uncertainty in the money markets. There's been a lack of progress, which is why GBP is falling in value.
So, the easiest way to summarise things is that Brexit is currently hurting the markets. A lack of control over the situation from the UK government leads to growing fears from markets all over the world. This creates a lack of faith, hence the decline of GBP. As for business confidence, things aren't much better. We can't say for sure what will happen when the UK leaves the EU, but we can say that nobody is very optimistic.

'X Factor' Elimation Recap: Emblem3 Sent Home, Fifth Harmony, Tate Stevens + Carly Rose Sonenclar in Top 3
On tonight's (Dec. 13) elimination episode of 'X Factor,' one act was given the heave-ho, leaving only three acts going on to the finals. It was the end of the road for Emblem3, who were sent home by America, with Fifth Harmony, Tate Stevens and Carly Rose Sonenclar moving onto next week's finals.
When the ep started, we were feeling like we're going through the motions with this season, waiting for teen powerhouse Sonenclar to take this whole thing, but not without a little competition from One Direction-y boy band Emblem3. But things were shaken up a bit.
Simon Cowell admitted that he was very worried about "his girls" in Fifth Harmony, saying the other three acts are so strong that he didn't think we'd be seeing the ladies next week.
So when they were announced as the first act going through to the finals, they went absolutely nuts. They bumrushed Cowell with a massive hug, and he looked beyond thrilled for them. The shrieking was louder than a Justin Bieber show with One Direction and the Wanted opening. Yes, it was that loud, but 5H were happy about their fate and we don't blame 'em.
"Like I said, I believe in miracles and these girls, I thought they were sensational, I could not be happier. I still have one more I want to go through, though," SiCo said, referring to his boys in Emblem3.
Britney Spears made one of her famous rubbery faces while the girls were shrieking. She was probably worried about her lone representative CRS. She even said that she was disappointed about Fifth Harmony going through, since she preferred Emblem3. Jeez, Brit. Don't hate.
Country singer Stevens was the second act announced as going through. When he learned his fate, Stevens said, "We're here," addressing his wife, who has supported him through thick and thin as he pursued his career. It was the sweetest two words ever said on the show. His mentor L.A. Reid admitted that he could not call himself a country fan, but he is a Tate Stevens fan. How could you not be, L.A.! Remember, Reid was not psyched upon learning which group he would be mentoring this season, but it turned out good for him so far, with a horse in the race in the finals!
This is Reid's last chance, since he will not be returning to serve as a mentor on Season 3.
When Sonenclar found out she was moving on, she was gracious, telling Emblem3 that she cannot wait to buy their albums when they come out. The boys were typically Californian in their goodbye, remaining positive and uplifting.
We will say that One Direction didn't win their season and look at them now. Keep ya chin up, E3!

Gaming is Alive and Well on Linux
Shooters, Platform Games, Brain Games
Gaming on the Linux platform is alive and well, thank you very much. In fact, there are more quality games available for Linux today than ever before. If you're using a recently released version of a distro, like Ubuntu, you'll find a wide range of game categories available right from the install menu. The options increase if you're not opposed to spending a little coin.
Hardware performance is really only a concern for the graphic-intensive games. You'll need a fairly recent video card with on-board memory in the 256MB range. Chances are pretty good that you won't have any issues getting them to run either, although you may need to activate a proprietary video driver for the graphics intensive games. With Ubuntu 10.04 we had to enable the Nvidia proprietary driver on our Dell XPS M1330 laptop to get some of the games to work. Neverball was very jerky without the proprietary driver but ran extremely well with it.
Basic Stuff
Every Linux distribution comes with a few basic games installed. Ubuntu 10.04 comes with a number of familiar titles available on the Applications / Games menu. If you're looking for a quick game of Solitaire or Sudoku to distract you for a while or something like Mahjongg or Tetris (Quadrapassel), you're only a few mouse clicks away. The other two pre-installed games are gbrainy and Mines.
Installing more games is more a problem of choosing which ones to load. The Ubuntu Software Center has a huge list of free games (488 as of this writing) in a wide variety of genres. Available categories include arcade, board games, card games, puzzles, role playing, simulation and sports. We'll look at a number of different game types to give you an idea of what to expect.
Platform Games
If you enjoyed playing games like Mario Bros and Donkey Kong developed by Nintendo, then you'll like Super Tux. This type of game involves different platforms your game character must advance along while avoiding obstacles and collecting points. Super Tux uses specific keys on the keyboard to move forward, backward, up and down through the various scenes.
And Yet It Moves was one of the paid games we tested. It's another keyboard controlled game with a few twists. The world can be rotated using the arrow keys while navigation uses w a s d. The objective is to solve a puzzle by moving your character through a series of obstacles and levels in order to reach the end point. Versions for Linux, Mac and Windows are currently available for $9.99, and a Wii version is under development.
First Person Shooters
Open Arena is a first-person shooter similar to Unreal Tournament. This category of games typically requires high-resolution graphics and definitely doesn't look right unless you have the proprietary graphics drivers enabled. It's also the type of game a parent should investigate before allowing a child to play. The whole idea behind this type of game is to shoot the "bad guys" before they shoot you. While the animation behind this game is relatively tame, it's still a good idea to see what your child would see before you turn them loose with it.

Roberto Mancini says Manchester City were keen on Edinson Cavani of Napoli
Roberto Mancini has revealed that Manchester City discussed a move for Napoli striker Edinson Cavani many times.
Last Updated: 16/06/13 2:43pm
Cavani's future is again the subject of intense speculation this summer and Manchester City have been linked with a swoop for the Uruguayan.
The player's father revealed earlier this week that he had set his heart on a switch to the Etihad Stadium, but Mancini reckons he should also consider City.
Mancini, dismissed by the club at the end of the season and replaced by Manuel Pellegrini, had identified Cavani as somebody who could strengthen City's squad during his time in Manchester.
"When I was at City I often spoke about Cavani with the management because he was somebody who could have been targeted," Mancini is quoted as saying by the Manchester Evening News
"However, I don't know now whether he is of interest in the club's new technical project."
There have been rumours that Edin Dzeko could head to Napoli as part of a deal to bring in Cavani, and Mancini insists the Italian club would be getting a good replacement.
He said: "Dzeko is a great striker and he could score 20 to 30 goals a season in Italy, I'm sure of that."

There's no getting down boxing's real-life Raging Bull, and the New York Post has heard things: former middleweight champ Jake LaMotta, age 90, plans to marry Denise Baker, his fiancée of the last dozen years or so, on Jan. 4 in Bisbee, Ariz. It will be LaMotta's seventh wedding, and the Post says Baker is "younger by nearly 30 years."
The happy couple plans to have a giant party two days later that will double as the premiere for The Bronx Bull, a feature film that is not a sequel or affiliated in any way with Raging Bull, with William Forsythe—not Robert DeNiro—playing LaMotta.
The Post did ask Baker if she and LaMotta had any honeymoon plans:
"At Jake's age, we'll have to come home and take a nap."

And now that I'm old(ER) I have really taken a dislike a complete dislike to my birthdays. These days you have to BYOH - bring your own happiness- for the celebrations. So, say New Year's? I don't give two hoots about the resolutions and reflections. But the big day? Man that's a whole new set of hooters and a time to reflect
upon everything that I didn't do this past year. The earth still needs saving, the blanket still needs knitting, there are dishes in the sink, and I have to look for ways I have grown.
And have to think of things I've done to make myself happy and reasons to be all smiley on the fated day. And I know I'll fail miserably if I go digging for the big 'H'. Pointless.
So I guess, I am just going to be who I am without trying to find out 'How I am'!
PS: If any of you were wondering why I'm a bit off the rocker, it's coz rock is not my thing and my DOB is kinda jinxed as far as sanity is concerned.
See the resemblance?

Don Counts sent me this very neat tombstone artwork:
See the buffalo? Made using the letters of the surname of this Native American of the Cherokee Nation.
This blog was originally set-up for the Tri-State Genealogical Society. Under the new leadership, this blog and the original web site are no longer officially recognized by the society; however, it is continuing to be maintained by its creator, John G. West.
This is my husbands headstone.His mother was full blood Cherokee and his father full blood Choctaw. He was the 7th child of 10. The Buffalo was designed by he and his youngest sister Zena. All 10 siblings have license plates with this design as well as quilts and magnets and reunion T-Shirts. Bart was a very unique person and proud of this heritage.
Karyn Gipson
Thanks, Karyn, for your additional comments!
John G. West, Blog Master
Do you know how he came by the last name Gipson? My folks come from the same area, and definitely have Cherokee mixed in there, but my great-grandfather John Jefferson Gipson was a very white redhead...

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Eydie Gorme, a pop singer who paired with husband Steve Lawrence to become a top U.S. nightclub and television act, and also found success on her own with hits like "Blame it on the Bossa Nova," died on Saturday. She was 84.
The Grammy-winning Gorme died in a Las Vegas hospital following a brief illness, said publicist Howard Bragman.
Born in New York to a Sephardic Jewish family, Gorme married Lawrence in 1957 and together they became a staple on American late-night and variety television programs. Their playful husband-and-wife banter was a distinctive element of their performances over the decades.
"Eydie has been my partner on stage and in life for more than 55 years. I fell in love with her the moment I saw her and even more the first time I heard her sing," Lawrence said in a statement.
"We Got Us," the first album from the duo that came to be known as Steve & Eydie, won a Grammy in 1960.
Recording on her own, Gorme's biggest hit was 1963's bopping dance tune "Blame It on the Bossa Nova," but she won a Grammy in 1967 for "If He Walked into My Life."
Gorme also became a star in the Spanish-speaking world in the mid-1960s by recording romantic ballads and boleros with Mexican trio Los Panchos, including the album "Amor."
Gorme and Lawrence collaborated over the years with contemporaries like Frank Sinatra and performed as a couple until recent years with an emphasis on American songwriters like Irving Berlin and George and Ira Gershwin
Gorme is survived by Lawrence and a son.

'Sleepy Hollow' cast and creators spill scoop and secrets at PaleyFest
The cast and creative team behind Fox's locally filmed "Sleepy Hollow" dished out season two scoop, memories of season one and praise for their fans during the PaleyFest panel Wednesday night at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
Kicking off the panel (moderated by "Entertainment Weekly's" Sandra Gonzalez) with a little intel about what to expect in season two, co-creator Roberto Orci promised that the coming apocalypse will find the population of the small New York village at the center of the show swelling. "War doesn't work by himself, does he?" Orci said, referencing the recently revealed second Horseman of the Apocalypse. "There's a lot of amazing footsoldiers coming."
But not all new residents will be fighting from the side of the supernatural. The producers mentioned that the town will see new characters that are also human and, in particular, a new authority figure that will keep the peace now that Captain Irving (Orlando Jones) is incarcerated for murder. "This person is gonna be very 'Not on your side, pal!,'" producer Mark Goffman said.
This season will carry the themes of war and redemption, and will be highly influenced by the now-regular presence of Henry Parrish/Jeremy/Horseman of War, played by John Noble (whose mere mention at the panel drew cheers from the audience.)
Speaking to Jeremy's role in the season, co-creator Len Wiseman, who directed the pilot episode and said he plans to direct more, noted that Ichabod (Tom Mison) and Katrina (Katia Winter) will have to decide how best to deal with their resurrected and ready-for-vengeance son.
"At the base of it, as evil as he is and what he did, he is still their son," Wiseman said. "It is not going to be an easy one for them to decide what to do with him. At the end of it, can you kill your own son?"
And the writers appear to be cooking up a new character/creature to go head to head with the Headless Horseman and his growing army of evil.
"One of the things we wanted to bring to life was who best to be an opponent for the Headless Horseman and create a new creature our team kind of controls, but doesn't," Goffman cryptically said. "A dangerous creation that Headless will have to come to face. A creature that is as evil and scary as Headless."
They also took the chance to explicitly remind the audience that, while the side of good may have seemed down and out at the end of the season — with Ichabod (Tom Mison) buried alive and Abbie (Nicole Beharie) trapped in purgatory) — they still have one key piece of the Horseman in their possession: his head.
Although season one featured a lot of "catch-up" for the characters and the story, season two will take time ti illuminate the pasts of several characters. "Assuming Abbie gets out of purgatory, she's going to start to wonder what she's got inside her that makes her the way she is today," Goffman said. John Cho, who plays the quite-dead-but-never-out Deputy Brooks, is also said to have an interesting backstory that the writers hope to explore if his season finale death wasn't finale.
For his part, Cho said he would love to come back if the show would have him. "If I can come back, let's do it," he said.
Moving away from season two, the panel transitioned to reflecting on the first season and what they learned. Mison drew big laughs when he revealed he did not know about the popular practice of "shipping," which is what its called when TV fans link two characters together whether they are romantically involved on screen or not. Following the emergence of Ichabod and Abbie shipping (whom fans lovingly call "Ichabbie"), Mison said he had to Google the term and ended up finding a lot of fan-created photos of Beharie's character holding him.
Co-creator Alex Kurtzman mentioned that the much-praised chemistry between Mison and Beharie is not just because they are good actors. "The chemistry you see between Tom and Nicole onscreen is the chemistry between Tom and Nicole," he said, drawing massive applause from the crowd.
Mison, showcasing his winning charm throughout the night, said that he was always aware the show was crazy, but said that it comes down to the people who make it having the passion to make it great.
"You make something bold, something that you believe in and blindly hope people go with you," he said.
Kurtzman added to that by saying the writers and creators knew from the start that the idea of this show was "one molecule away from insane."
The night was also revealing for some of the cast's secerts, including Mison's dislike of riding horses (crews built him a mechanical horse that is attached to a filming truck) and his lack of driving experience. When producers announced Ichabod may be driving in season two, Lyndie Greenwood (who plays Jenny Mills) let spill that Mison never got his driver's license.
John Cho, whose plays the potentially dead Deputy Brooks, told the crowd that he has a phobia of people touching his neck, which made for an uncomfortable few months for the actor since his character requires a prosthetic neck piece following the first of his many deaths in the pilot episode.
Wiseman said the producers didn't figure this out until Cho was in the makeup chair for the first time.
The night closed out with a question posed to the entire panel by a fan in the audience, asking them to dream cast the final two spots on the Horsemen of the Apocalypse roster.
Some of the suggestions presented included "The Walking Dead's" Norman Reedus, Idris Elba, Clint Eastwood, Javier Bardem, Tilda Swinton and Dick Cheney.
"Sleepy Hollow" will return to Wilmington to shoot its second season in early to mid-May.


text: I compared the netpipe two way times for packets upto 1Mb with the time for two way MPI-Send/MPI-Recv of messages of the same size (1..10^6 bytes). This was done for o a master process and 1-3 slave processes all running on the same 2-way SMP machine (ie upto 2 processes on each CPU - tcpip packets all internal to the SMP node). o a master and 1-3 slaves processes all on different machines (1 process on each CPU, ethernet packets over 100Mbps ethernet). For the MPI-Send/Recv, the master allocated a 1Mbyte array of char which was assumed to be abitary garbage in memory. The first n bytes of it (for n = 1..1Mbyte) were Send/Recv to a slave, the slave would do the complementary Recv/Send and the returned message was compared to the original (no errors were found). For more than 1 slave process the time to Send and Recv the messages at the master was approximately proportional to the number of slaves so the time for each message send/recv was assumed to be constant. The times for the packet returns was longer when the packets were sent between two different nodes compared to between processes running on one SMP node. However I found that the time for the MPI message send/recv was about 3 times that for the same size packet send/recv by the netpipe test for the whole range of message sizes (1byte .. 1Mbyte) in both setups. Is this ratio of 3::1 about right? Why is it 3 times longer? It looks like a two more events which takes the same time as the ethernet transmission are required. Does something happen at both the send and recv end of the MPI message that takes the same time as the ethernet transmission?

Skylar Laine Fights Rumors That She's Dating 'American Idol' Peer Colton Dixon
Ryan Seacrest started a playful rumor on 'American Idol' this week, repeatedly asking country fireball Skylar Laine and her fellow hopeful Colton Dixon if they are dating. After the two dueted to Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson's 'Don't You Wanna Stay' — their second duet together — the dating jokes began. Of course, the same thing happened to Phillip Phillips and Elise Testone after their duet. Apparently, there's just something about onstage chemistry that gets the rumors flying.
And while Laine and Dixon both deny dating rumors, the two seem to be having fun with the whole thing and not taking it too seriously. When Zap2It asked Laine if she and Dixon were a real-life couple, the country gal said, "No! We don't want anyone dating. That would be weird because they're all our family!" And she's right — they do all act like family. In this family, Joshua Ledet would be the teasing brother.
"Skylar and Colton have been dating ever since Hollywood Week," he told the news source, smiling. "Excuse me while I punch him out," Laine countered. Sound like family yet? Hollie Cavanagh, who is actually Laine's roommate for the show, teased, "Colton and Skylar are dating." But then she quickly came clean, clarifying, "Just kidding. Colton and Skylar are not dating."
"They're just married," offers Ledet. What a brother! In reality, we know the two aren't dating, but it is pretty funny to see how they handle all the rumors and questions, and we love that they're not uptight about it. In fact, if anyone had a right to be annoyed by all this back and forth, it seems it would be Laine's boyfriend of three years, 20-year-old Joseph Dominick. But even he seems to be laid-back about the whole thing, cheering for his girlfriend and letting her enjoy her time on the show.
"She texted me after the show and told me she missed me and couldn't wait to see me," Dominick said in an interview a couple weeks ago. "I'm happy because she's happy." Though he said he doesn't have the money to fly out to California to see his girl perform live, Dominick is holding down the fort back home, hanging signs and getting people excited about her career.
"I really don't care about going to the show or any of that stuff," he said. "I just want to give her a hug and tell her how proud I am of her." Now how much do you love that kid?

State-backed Royal Bank of Scotland reported its first quarterly profit in 18 months on Friday and said it expected to complete its restructuring during 2014, potentially enabling the government to start selling shares.
RBS, which is 82 percent-owned by the taxpayer, made a pretax profit of 826 million pounds ($1.3 billion), compared with a loss of 1.5 billion pounds in the same period last year. Analysts had forecast a profit of 800 million pounds.

Chief Executive Stephen Hester has overseen the shedding of around 900 billion pounds in assets and is focusing on lending to British households and small businesses.
"We expect to substantially complete the bank's restructuring phase during 2014. We are seeing the start of a pick-up in loan demand and have a strong surplus of funds ready and available to support economic recovery," he said.
However, Hester still has major hurdles to overcome. Britain's financial regulator said in March that UK banks must raise 25 billion pounds of extra capital by the end of the year to absorb any future losses on loans.
Although the regulator has not yet given specific guidance to individual banks, analysts expect the biggest shortfall to be at RBS.
RBS said its capital position had improved during the period and its core tier one ratio - a bank's main benchmark of health - had risen by 50 basis points to 10.8 percent. It expects to have a core capital ratio of 9 percent at the end of 2013 on the basis of full implementation of tougher Basel III capital rules.
Britain's regulator wants major lenders to achieve a core tier one ratio of at least 7 percent.

President Obama will visit the Glendale campus of DreamWorks Animation SKG next week during a trip to Los Angeles.
Obama will tour the site and make a speech to the company's employees, the White House confirmed Thursday.
"On Tuesday, November 26, the president will visit DreamWorks Animation facility in Glendale, California, to deliver remarks on the economy," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said. "The American motion picture and television industry is a growing industry and continues to create thousands of jobs all across the country."
The visit is not a surprise given that DreamWorks Animation Chief Executive Jeffrey Katzenberg is one of Obama's biggest contributors and fundraisers.
PHOTOS: Behind the scenes of movies and TV
A May 2012 fundraiser hosted by Katzenberg at George Clooney's house raised nearly $15 million for the Obama campaign.
And in September, Obama met Katzenberg for dinner at the Hilton Woodland Hills after an appearance the president made on the "Tonight Show With Jay Leno."
Obama is coming to the West to raise money for Democratic House and Senate candidates. His itinerary will include a fundraiser at the Beverly Hills home of veteran media executive Haim Saban and his wife, Cheryl.
Obama had planned a similar West Coast fundraising trip in September, but that was scrapped because of the government shutdown and possible military action in Syria.

Albert Arthur Flory Sr.
Albert A. Flory Sr., 92, formerly of Newport, a resident of Maple Lane Nursing Home in Barton, died at Fletcher Allen Medical Center in Burlington on Thursday, February 7, 2013.
He was born on March 13, 1920, in Fair Haven.
Mr. Flory was a 1938 graduate of Fair Haven High School. He attended Norwich University, earning a bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering in 1942. While attending Norwich, he developed an interest in horses, serving as captain of the riding team and being a member of the cavalry. He was known as "Zeke" to his friends at Norwich.
Upon graduation, commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Army, he served his country in the Signal Corps during World War II in England, France and Germany between 1943 and 1946. Prior to being shipped to the European theater, he met and married second lieutenant Esther Flory, RN, in New Orleans, Louisiana. They both served overseas.
Upon returning to the U.S. after the war, Mr. Flory became a captain in the Vermont Army Reserves. From 1946 to 1953, he was employed as manager of the electrical division of the Vermont Marble Co. in Proctor. He also served as a volunteer fireman in the town of Proctor.
Moving to Newport in 1953, Mr. Flory became district manager for Citizens Utilities Electrical Division. For 33 years, he served his company and community with energy and dedication.
During his long tenure at Citizens, his local and state contributions included serving as president of Newport's Chamber of Commerce and Rotary Club. He served as a member of North Country Hospital's board of directors and as president of the Newport Country Club. Beyond his local community, he served as state president of the Vermont Electrical Association and president of the Northeastern Vermont Development Association. Most recently, he served as a volunteer for the radiology department at North Country Hospital before moving to Maple Lane Nursing Home.
A true Vermonter, Mr. Flory's love of the Northeast Kingdom was equaled by his love of golf and his enjoyment of skiing. His involvement with skiing led to his leadership in the modernization of the distribution of electricity to Jay Peak Ski Area. He was actively involved with Jay Peak ski racing and ski instructors' programs. He spent many weekends at Jay Peak skiing with family and friends.
Hunting, fishing and driving the back roads of Vermont were also favorite pastimes. Upon retirement in 1986, Mr. and Mrs. Flory enjoyed visiting family and vacationing in Florida.
Mr. Flory was predeceased by his parents, William and Melvina Flory; his sister Loraine Thompson; his brother Joseph Flory; and by his beloved wife, Esther Marie Flory.
He leaves four children: Ann Marie Flory of Simpsonville, South Carolina, Haidee Flory of Westminster, Colorado, Sally Field of Telluride, Colorado, and Al Flory Jr. of Etna, New Hampshire. Grandchildren include: Lauren M. Wygant of Del Rio, Texas, Aaron Surprenant of Golden, Colorado, Alex Zarrouk of Westminster, Colorado, and Elizabeth and John Flory of Etna.
Some of Mr. Flory's favorite sayings were, "It's a great life," and "It's not how much you know but what you do with it that counts." Remembering his words, may God grant him eternal peace.
A Mass was scheduled to be held at St. Mary's Star of the Sea Catholic Church in Newport on Wednesday, February 13, at 10 a.m. There will be no calling hours. A reception for family and friends will take place after the service at the East Side Restaurant.

Oneida boys volleyball falls in regional championship to Ichabod Crane
COBLESKILL >> Oneida's tremendous boys volleyball season came to a close with a loss Saturday in the state's regional championship. Two tremendous players on Ichabod Crane's team were the main reason.
Alex Potts, the Riders' 6-foot-6 star hitter, amassed 23 kills and six blocks and Tyler Jablanski had 28 assists to lead the Section II champions to a 25-23, 25-21, 25-17 win.
"Tyler played a hellva game, we passed well and Alex was tough," Riders coach Sean Connors said after his team won its third straight regional title, this time with a 21-1 record. "And we played good defense."
IC needed to, especially in the beginning as David Kann and Jessie Morrison had a handful of kills to keep Oneida (15-4) even in the first game until it was 19-19. The Riders went on a 4-0 run to take control, Justyn Verbraska's two kills and Derrick Fenoff's kill down the line being the key plays. Oneida answered with a 3-0 run that Kann started with a kill, but Fenoff hit through a block and two plays later Potts snuck a back row hit just through Dylan Dibble's block for the 25-23 win.
Coach Rik Ano's team rebounded quickly. Dibble had a block and Morrison had an ace to start the second game with a 6-3 run for the visitors at Cobleskill-Richmondville's gym. Potts had consecutive kills to start IC on a 3-0 run that led to a back and forth sequence until it was 19-18 in Oneida's favor.
Kann missed his serve - the sixth of seven Oneida had in the game - and IC scored three more points to take control. Potts had a kill for the 24th point then after a great dig by a teammate hit a Jablanski quick set down to give his team a 2-0 edge.
The third game was all IC at the start. Potts had two kills to start a 12-1 run and added four more to go with a kill by Jablanski off a clever backwards shoot. Kann, Derek Connelly and Morrison had kills to key a 5-1 run that gave Oneida fans hope. The teams traded brief runs after that then Fenoff had a superb dig that not only went over the net but fell on the sideline to give IC an 18-10 edge. Potts followed with a kill on another quick and the teams traded points until IC led 24-14.
Kyle George served the next three points, the last being an ace, to give Oneida a glimmer of hope. Fenoff ended the match seconds later with a hit down the line.
"We stayed with them," Ano lamented afterward. "Our front lines were even. Those seven missed serves in the second game hurt. Serving's usually a strong point. It got us here.
"It'll probably take a couple days to get over (the loss), but it was a great season."
Mount Markham swept Section II's Coxackie-Athens for the Class C crown.
Oneida (15-4): Tyler Colvin 25as, 1d; Kyle George 1ac, 1d; Dylan Dibble 2k, 2b, 1ac, 1d; Derek Connelly 4k, 7d; Jessie Morrison 10k, 1b, 3d; Zach Brown 1b; David Kann 11k, 6d; Dan Keck 8d.
Ichabod Crane (21-1): Alex Potts 23k, 6b, 4d; Tyler Jablanski 1k, 28as; Justyn Verbraska 3b, 1as; Ethan Lincoln 1ac, 1d; Derrick Fenoff 9k, 2ac, 2d; Will Baumbach 1ac.
