EA has ceased the promotion of its charity fundraiser 'Project Honor', after public outcry over its decision to advocate the sale of actual weapons featured in the game Medal of Honour. All for a good cause, you understand, right?
The publisher joined forces with a number of weapons manufacturers this year for the launch of Project Honor, an initiative intended to "benefit the families of fallen special operations warriors".
Various "esteemed" arms makers not only had their weaponry featured in the game, but agreed to produce exclusive Medal of Honour-themed merchandise, with all proceeds from sales heading to various war-related charities.
Beyond the gaming community, voices were inevitably raised questioning the morals of a producer of violent videogames teaming up to flog branded armament maker merchandise to the very people that play them.
Following numerous complaints, EA has removed all links and advertising regarding Project Honor from the game's website, which had last week promoted the sale of a 'Voodoo Hawk' tomahawk.
Despite understanding concerns, the publisher continued to defend its charitable project.
"We've been working with those partners because we wanted to be authentic, and we wanted to give back to the communities." said EA's Greg Goodrich in an interview with Eurogamer.
"Every one of those partners, none of them paid a dime for product placement – all the money generated went to Project Honor."
The executive producer went on to claim the publisher's videogames were experiences rather than teaching tools and insisted there was no connection between violent videogames and real-life outbursts.
"If I played Need for Speed, and I'm handed the key to a Porsche, does that make me want to get in it and drive like a maniac and run people over? No."
Earlier this year, studies showed gamers who play shooting games have improved accuracy when firing a weapon in real life. Hmmm. ®

VICTORIA — Premier Christy Clark's government tabled a balanced budget Tuesday, announcing plans to co-opt tax increases proposed by NDP leader Adrian Dix, bank a massive windfall from the sell-off of government assets, and impose extraordinary spending controls across the entire government.
Coming 12 weeks before a provincial election that most polls show strongly favours the opposition New Democratic Party, Tuesday's budget allows Clark to make good on a long-standing promise to move the province away from four consecutive years in the red.
But in doing so, Clark's government faced criticism on how she plans to accomplish that goal — by selling more than $800 million in provincial assets and introducing government-wide spending restraints on par with the dramatic measures the B.C. Liberals imposed during their first few years in office.
And while Tuesday's announced return to a balanced budget scored a win with the Liberal-friendly business community, some industry leaders took a shot at Clark for turning her back on them in other ways.
"There's no mention (in the budget) at all of the fact that we're going to have the single largest tax increase on jobs and investment as of April 1 with the $1.5-billion return to the PST," said Greg D'Avignon, president of the Business Council of B.C.
"There's a layering on of costs of doing business here in British Columbia and we are uncompetitive," he added. "We were one of the most competitive jurisdictions in North America and we're going to become one of the most uncompetitive. That has an impact on job creation, on economic growth."
The government's budget includes a one-percentage-point increase to the province's corporate income tax starting April 1, bringing the rate to 11 per cent.
It also included a temporary increase in personal income taxes — set to begin Jan. 1, 2014 — for people making more than $150,000 per year.
Dix has hinted that both measures would be part of a fully costed NDP election platform — due for release in the coming weeks — although his proposal would have increased corporate taxes by an additional percentage point to 12 per cent.
Tuesday's budget also included a four-per-cent increase to MSP premiums – bringing the rate as of Jan. 1, 2014, to $138.50 for families of three or more — and a $2-per-carton increase to the tax on cigarettes starting in October.
On the spending side, the budget holds planned increases in government spending for the coming year to under one per cent — a level below the expected growth in the province's GDP.
Finance Minister Mike de Jong acknowledged the government-wide spending controls comprised many tough decisions, but insisted all targets are "plausible and achievable".
After combining all these measures with plans in the coming year to sell $475 million in surplus government assets — as well as a combined windfall of about $330 million expected from the completion of the sale of assets including Little Mountain and the Vancouver Liquor Distribution Branch warehouse — the government says it will end the coming year with a $197-million surplus.
"Today, I am presenting what we promised to the people of British Columbia, and what they have worked hard to achieve — a balanced budget," de Jong told the Legislature.
"We will not spend money we don't have. We will not have a legacy of needless debt."
Despite that promise, Tuesday's budget increases the province's total debt by $13.3 billion between now and 2016, pushing the taxpayer-supported debt-to-GDP ratio above 18 per cent.
While de Jong stressed the prudence of Tuesday's budget, he was still able to unveil some pre-election goodies, mostly focused on helping families.
Among the measures, the government is changing a program introduced by former premier Gordon Campbell that has invested $1,000 for every child born after 2007 in a government-managed post-secondary education fund. Parents were told they could expect a payment of about $2,200 for their child's post-secondary education by the time the child graduated high school.
On Tuesday, Clark's government announced parents can now access that fund much earlier, by having the province deposit $1,200 directly into the child's Registered Education Savings Plan while the child is still young.
"When the child turns six years of age, the government will send to their family — direct into an RESP — $1,200," said de Jong, adding he hopes the measure will encourage parents to start registered savings plans to help pay for their children's university or college educations.
Tuesday's budget also includes a commitment of $76 million over three years to help create child care spaces, as well as additional tax relief for parents starting in 2015. That tax relief program — the B.C. Early Childhood Tax Benefit — will be worth up to $660 per child annually for lower-income families.
NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston called Tuesday's document a "classic pre-election budget by the B.C. Liberals", one he said isn't truly balanced because it rests on the sell-off of hundreds of millions of dollars of government assets.
"(This is) a pre-election budget, not a balanced budget, and it doesn't really address the real needs of British Columbians," Ralston said.
The bulk of measures introduced Tuesday do not take effect until after the May 14 election, meaning many could still be reversed if the government were to change.
Nevertheless, Ralston would not say what elements of the budget his party would adopt or discard, saying those details will be released in the near future.
"I'm not prepared to make any commitments at this time. That will be revealed when we get an opportunity to disclose our platform before the election."
John Winter, president of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce, said he thinks the government could have done more to soften the blow coming from the April 1 return to a PST, but was quick to applaud the return to a projected surplus.
"Good on them for living up to the commitment to balance the budget," he said. "It's hard to do, but I think it's realistic."
Union leaders were highly critical, however, questioning a decision to balance the books months before the May election on the back of planned asset sales.
"This is not a balanced budget," said Jim Sinclair of the B.C. Federation of Labour. "We're going to have a fire sale so (de Jong) can balance the budget."
Sinclair also blasted the government on plans to shrink the public service by about 1,200 spaces over two years.
"This budget kills 1,200 jobs in British Columbia that are good-paying jobs that support communities in health care and education and forestry," he said, in comments that were echoed by B.C. Government and Service and Employees' Union president Darryl Walker.
"They call it attrition, but it's still warm bodies that are going to be in cold seats," said Walker. "People are going to be doubling up. They're going to be doing twice as much work. There's fear that people are going to be put in positions of danger."
The budget also saves around $150 million that would have been due in the coming year by pre-paying a variety of grants and other obligations.
The temporary personal income tax increase promised in the budget will cover only the top income tax bracket, or those making more than $150,000. The move — which will last for two years until the end of 2015 — will raise the provincial rate to 16.8 per cent from 14.7 per cent.
For a person making $300,000, the increase would mean an extra $3,100 in taxes each year.
"We are asking people who make a little more to contribute a little more," said de Jong, adding the measure was needed to help return the province to a surplus position.

Justin Timberlake won't wait for seven years for next album
Singer-songwriter Justin Timberlake released "The 20/20 Experience" after a seven-year hiatus, but says he won't take such a long time for his next. His "FutureSex/LoveSounds" came out in 2006.
"I can tell you that if we were to do it again soon then it probably wouldn't be 20-25 songs. It would probably be a different effort towards something else, but that could be exciting," digitalspy.co.uk. quoted Timberlake as saying.
"The answer is I have no idea, but my gut tells me that I don't think it's going to be seven years," he added.
The "Suit and Tie" hitmaker spoke to Hollywood Outbreak about whether he has plans for another record.
"If I had to answer that question now, I would say no, but you never know. When you have a vision and you have something to say then it's time to say it, I don't think you can rush it.
"But I will say that making all this music again opened me up in a way that because we did wait so long everything felt fresh and new again," he said.

The majority of the snow will fall late afternoon and through the night into Thursday. Estimate amounts vary between 5" and 10".
This storm now has a name, too. According to the Weather Channel, welcome to 'Winter Storm Walda.' So, if Waldo and Wanda had a little blizzard of their own, they would name it 'Walda.' Okay.

Bisons spin triple play!
Tuesday's game between the Bisons and the Wings saw a little bit of everything; great defense, hard-hitting offense, a triple-play, and four strikeouts in one half inning. Unfortunately for the Herd they were on the losing end of a wild one at Coca-Cola Field. In the end, the Bisons were out slugged by the Rochester Red Wings, 9-6.
READ: Game Recap, with triple play details
Although the Wings got the win, the Bisons got the highlight of the night turning a triple-play in the third inning. With runners in motion on first and second, Steven Tolleson smoked a liner to short that Argenis Reyes dove to his right to grab. From his knees, Reyes flipped to Luis Rivera at second for the second out and Rivera tossed it on to Mike Lamb at first to record the first triple-play at Coca-Cola Field since 1997 and just the second in the ballpark's history.

NEW YORK — You have to hand it to actor Matthew Gray Gubler: When he goes, he goes all-in. That's whether he's chasing serial killers on CBS' "Criminal Minds" or putting the word out about his new children's book.
To publicize "Rumple Buttercup: A Story of Bananas, Belonging and Being Yourself," Gubler donned a full-body, sweaty costume of his character, a peculiar green monster who disguises himself under a banana peel.
"I love life so much and I want to try to do everything, whether or not I do it well I don't know," he says. "But I am sitting here in a 7-foot-tall monster costume, so I'm feeling pretty good about myself."
The story centers on the lonely Rumple Buttercup, who hides from the world because he has crooked teeth, three hairs and an asymmetrical body. He hides because he fears he's weird.
"I sort of wrote the book for anyone that feels like they don't quite fit in. Because I want them to know that they're not alone and that everybody feels weird because everyone is weird. And that's ultimately I think what makes us great," Gubler says.
Gubler didn't just dream up the monster for the 136-page book. He also drew every squiggly line and hand-lettered every word, even the barcode and legal language. He made the drawings with melted crayons, pastel and charcoal.
"I wanted the book to really feel like it was handmade because it legitimately was," he says. "Any art form that I look at or appreciate, whether it's dance or movies, I love when you can feel the seams because it feels like it was just made. You know it's not perfect and, like the theme of the book, no one is perfect and that's ultimately what makes us special."
The book must have touched a nerve because it made its debut at No. 1 on The New York Times' children's middle grade best-seller list. More is on the way: Gubler revealed another children's book in the pipeline.
Mallory Loehr, who leads Random House Books for Young Readers Group, says her team was so enamored of the book that several editors first met Gubler wearing banana peels on their heads.
"He is a true artist. As much as he's a fabulous actor, his heart is here," Loehr says. "It was a very intense experience because he is an intense person and because he wants perfection and because he cares a whole lot. But the proof is in the pudding."
On TV, Gubler is best known for playing Spencer Reid, a brilliant member of an elite FBI behavioral analysis team, tracking down unknown subjects — or "unsubs" — for 14 seasons. Reid shares some similarities with Rumple Buttercup — both are sensitive outsiders yearning to connect and offer their gifts to the world. "I'm very protective of him and Rumble — those are like my two guys," says Gubler.
Over the years, Reid onscreen has been shot in the leg and neck, stabbed himself in the thigh, and was once arrested on trumped-up murder charges in Mexico. "My character has been the perpetual damsel in distress since Season 1," Gubler says.
The show will wrap up its run with a final Season 15 later this year and Gubler, who has directed 13 episodes over its life, thinks the moment will be bittersweet. He'll miss the cast and crew but is ready for new challenges.
"It's kind of like if you went to your grandfather's 115th birthday and then the next day he passed away. You'd be very sad but you'd also say, 'Hey, he had an incredible life. He lived so long. May we all get to know those joys.'"
Gubler basically stumbled into acting after having earned a degree in directing from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. He landed a role in Wes Anderson's "The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou" and quickly got the "Criminal Minds" gig. He also paints, directs music videos, provides the voice for Simon in "Alvin and the Chipmunks" and models. It all doesn't fit neatly and that's the point.
"I just see it as different tentacles off of the same deranged octopus," he says.
"I kind of just love making stuff."
He helped make Reid more than just an Urkel-like figure on "Criminal Minds." Producers initially wanted him to be true geek wearing a pocket protector, but Gubler declined.
"I was like, 'What if he's not like a quote-unquote 'nerd'? What if he's just smart? And I think that's cool,'" he said. "As someone that was somewhat ostracized as a kid for being different or good at certain things and books, I like to think that those people are now hopefully becoming heroes."
As for saying goodbye to Reid, Gubler hopes he and the rest of the Behavioral Analysis Unit will keep going. He doesn't want them to quit, disband or die.
"I hope it's not an ending where it's like, 'Oh well, we did that. Let's all retire.' I hope it's just 'Wheels up!' I hope it's like, 'Let's do another one.' I want people to perpetually hope that people are out there for the good of mankind stopping serial killers."

Somewhere in France
June 19th 1918
Dear sister Madaline:
I really do not think this letter will be very long as I've written you all the news of interest in my last few letters. Up to now we boys have not received any mail the reason I suppose is on account of the shortage of freight trains for delivery of our mail from town to town. I know that you have written at least once a week thierfore I think I am entitled to one letter in one month for that is how long we boys are on foreign soil. I am taking up an interesting subject which keeps me busy for a few hours during the day and a few hours at night. Morning I go to school and for one half hour in the afternoon I get detailed to lecture on this subject which is hand grenade. The subject although it is hard is interesting. The weather yesterday and today has been very poor as it has done nothing but rain then stop and rain again. Theirs no sense of us praying for rain as we drill and work rain or shine. As yet I haven't had the chance to write any of my friends but expect to do so soon. Guess I will close now will write again tomorrow.
I am

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood's line-up of sleek and deadly killers gets some serious bolstering by the armored Officer and the all-important tubby guy with a beard. Finally a character for me!
As a relatively tubby guy with a beard, I often find myself forced to pick a sleek and sexy character in multiplayer games, and that only reinforces my negative self-image. Enter the Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood Blacksmith, a character I can really identify with. He stalks relatively silently through the streets of Rome, face turning red from trying to quiet his breathing. The only sign of his passage is a trail of sweat droplets, leading to a large man slumped against an alley wall, panting furiously. As you stop to laugh, he hits you with his hammer.
The Officer is an exclusive pre-order bonus from Best Buy. I'm still not clear how we'll obtain the Blacksmith. I'd suggest codes on specially-marked packages of bacon. Mmmm, bacon.
The image above comes from an Ubisoft email newsletter, lovingly passed along to us from Ursus-Veritas, lord of the dance.

Former Manchester man to get new trial in 1987 killing
HARTFORD -- Connecticut's second-highest court on Monday ordered a new trial for a brain-damaged man serving life in prison for killing his former wife's 88-year-old grandmother in 1987.
Lawyers for Richard Lapointe, 66, argued that new DNA evidence proves he's innocent and his previous attorneys were ineffective.
The state Appellate Court ruled Monday that Lapointe didn't prove his innocence, but prosecutors had suppressed key evidence and his previous attorney failed to pursue the evidence issue.
Lapointe was convicted in 1992 of killing Bernice Martin, who was found raped, stabbed and strangled in her burning Manchester apartment. Police obtained three signed confessions from Lapointe.
The court said it ordered a new trial because the state suppressed an expert opinion about the burn time of the fire in Martin's apartment that potentially supported Lapointe's alibi.
Lapointe's case was featured on national news shows, and advocates for the mentally disabled and other supporters fought to prove his innocence. They said his mental disability made him vulnerable to being coerced into making confessions.
A prosecutor and two defense lawyers involved in the appeal didn't immediately return messages Monday seeing comment.
A previous appeal had been rejected by the state Supreme Court, and the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case.
When Lapointe was a boy, he was diagnosed with Dandy-Walker Syndrome, a congenital condition where a cyst forms on the brain from a buildup of fluid on the skull.
Doctors operated five times, using a shunt to drain the liquid that left him with an enlarged head. But the condition wasn't caught in time. He suffered brain damage that left him with recurring headaches, dizziness and a short attention span. He was unable to finish high school.
But Lapointe led a seemingly normal life. He always had a job doing some sort of physical labor, such as dishwashing, and he even served as president of his condominium association. Prosecutors said his IQ was average.
He married Karen Martin, who had cerebral palsy, in 1977 and they had a healthy son, Sean. Martin's grandmother, Bernice, lived nearby.
Police and prosecutors said that Lapointe, while his wife got their son ready for bed on the night of March 8, 1987, walked to Bernice Martin's home. Authorities said Lapointe threw her on her bed and raped her, then stabbed her with a steak knife and strangled her after she threatened to tell Karen Martin.
Defense lawyers said Lapointe never went over to Bernice Martin's house that night. They said he watched TV while his wife put Sean to bed, and she found him in front of the television set when she came back downstairs about 45 minutes later.

I have written about the explosive mobile broadband growth in Austria – Sweden is yet another country where mobile broadband growth is rivaling fixed broadband options. This is not very surprising given how competitive mobile broadband is being priced in Sweden compared to that of fixed broadband. Sweden's National Post and Telecom Agency (PTS) publishes an annual report on the state of the Swedish Telecommunications Market. The 2007 report has several interesting data about the state of the mobile broadband in Sweden called "mobile Internet" in the report.
Clearly, 2007 was the year for mobile broadband in Sweden. During 2007 the number of mobile subscriptions via data plug-in cards or USB modems increased from 92,000 to 376,000 representing a growth rate of around 309%. Apparently, this frenetic pace of growth has shown no signs of slowing down in 2008 as well. USB modems for mobile Internet have for instance been at the top of the sales figures in both Telia Sonera and (3)'s shops during the first months of 2008. This rapid growth in mobile broadband subscriptions has been exceeded by a even more faster rate of growth in mobile data traffic as the accompanying figure illustrates – total mobile data traffic increased by over 1000% during 2007 (from 203 Tbytes to 2,191 Tbytes). This follows a similar pattern in all the countries where mobile broadband is showing explosive growth – traffic increases at a rate significantly greater than the revenue from mobile broadband subscribers, given that the latter pay a flat fixed fee for their subscription. As a matter of fact, total revenues from mobile data traffic in Sweden increased by 60% – compare that to 1000% growth in mobile data traffic!
Telia Sonera with 39% of mobile broadband subscriptions is the market leader. The next largest is Tele2 (25%) followed by 3 (19%) and Telenor (15%). The smallest is Nordisk Mobiltelefon (who is actually a CDMA operator operating in the 450Mhz band) with less than 3% of the market.
What's the outlook for mobile broadband now?
At the end of 2007, roughly 78% of Swedish households had some kind of Internet access with 62% of the households having broadband connectivity. We can fully expect that the 16% of the households with dial-up access will choose some flavor of broadband in the near future. Mobile broadband is perfectly placed to win over this customer segment – in addition to the 22% of households without any Internet access. In fact, mobile broadband jumped to 12% of all broadband subscriptions in 2007 from a 4% base in 2006. In addition to an extremely competitive price – flat-rate mobile broadband connections with speeds of up to 7.2Mbps are available for SEK199 (US$30.80)) a month, comparable to the price of a 500Kbps fixed-broadband subscription, around 1 million of Sweden's 4.5 million households are outside the reach of ADSL. Many Swedes are also opting for a mobile broadband connection when they migrate to holiday homes in the countryside during the summer. With no fixed broadband offerings to protect, it is a reasonable bet that (3) will go after this segment aggressively similar to its approach in the other countries in which it operates.

closing shop and working for competition1/24
Hello, I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on my situation. Here it is; I have owned and operated a custom woodworking business for 21 years but recently closed my business. The main reason for the decision to close was the simple fact that being a one man operation had taken it's toll on me physically and mentally. Recently, I had a business acquaintance propose a scenario and I'm trying to wrap my head around it. He is proposing that I can work for him for hourly pay plus commission, he will provide a separate 1750 sq ft area of my own but I use my own tools, and any business I bring in would be referred to him. The positives are; he provides the heated and cooled shop covering all expenses, semi-steady work load,a helper, handles all business related issues provides materials, liability insurance,delivery, etc.(basically under his business umbrella) and remove the burden of running the business. The only negatives I can see is having to use my own tools and turning over any jobs that come my way over to him although he is taking on all the risk. My thinking is that I will be guaranteed a steady paycheck and still have a shop to work in after hours if needed. Am I a fool for not jumping all over this or am I possibly missing something? Sorry for the long question but any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Joe, I also just closed a small shop and am looking for my next employment situation. It may be an alternate version of self-employment, but I would welcome working for a good company for a steady check. (I assume you'll be a regular employee with tax withholding, workers comp, unemployment insurance, etc. If this is a 1099 deal, that's a whole different thing.) Sounds like you may have the best of both worlds--some of the independence of self-employment, including commissions on work you continue to get; but the benefits of regular hours and pay and none of the headaches of shop and business ownership. My only other thought is about who decides how and when things get done, quality level, etc. I would presume your new employer will get to call those shots, so that may require some adjustments on your part.
Hi Tony, thanks for your thoughts. Yes I have considered the fact that scheduling and quality will ultimately be my new employer's decision but I have known him for several years and his company has a great reputation for doing excellent work. His business is a little different than mine as he specializes in furniture restoration and refinishing where mine was new construction. Also, we became aquainted through mutual admiration of each other's work so I'm thinking that quality concerns wouldn't be an issue. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go through with it. I just wanted to get some other opinions because it's always great to get advice from guys like you that have been there and done that. Thanks again Tony for responding and good luck with your search for employment!
Joe, you may have already thought this through with this in mind, but if this was me, I would consider how I would feel and react if there were a few unpleasant scenarios to occur. If there was to be a serious disagreement over something, or if your friend had to come at you as a boss, not a friend, how would that go? I would be absolutely sure that I could take orders from the guy, even if disagreeing, and still follow through with the work. If you can, great! It sure sounds like this could be a good opportunity for you. It is a tough world out there when running a business by yourself, good luck to you.
Hi Mitch, yes I think that is the main reason for my hesitance in coming to a final decision. I feel that I handle constructive criticism well and am always open to advice on new and better ways to do things if that arises. At the end of the day, it is his business on the line and he is taking all of the risk. I guess I would have to put myself in his shoes and look at it from his point of view. I think as long as disagreements were handled in a diplomatic way, I can live with it. I'll have to hope for the best in that scenario and if it looks like I've traded one type of stress for another, I'll have to deal with it then. Thanks again for your thoughts. It is much appreciated.
Who will do the bidding? What happens if you underbid the work? Will he require a guaranteed profit? Who absorbs the loss? What would bother me is that this really seems like a type of partnership, more than employee situation. I went through a short miserable partnership deal, and it cost me a lot of money to get back out of it. He may be making a mistake putting you on an hourly wage, since he has no control of the profit if you make a mistake on bidding. I'd have a small business lawyer draw up an agreement. Also not sure you will repair from your burnout, doing the same work with a business partner looking over your shoulder. A nice guy will change pretty fast if you are late on a delivery and over budget. I'd guess your past clients will be surprised to see the price of their jobs go up, with you doing them.
Well Joe, if you were to apply the Ben Franklin method and list the pros and cons, it seems like a go from here. Since you have already closed your business, that decision no longer applies. You will also now become employed by someone, and this guy knows your talents and strengths. Perhaps it will lessen some of the previous struggles. And as I see it, meeting the deadlines and quality expectations of your new employer will probably be somewhat equal to having met them for every customer that came along before. Rich makes some good points that need to be considered.
Thanks to all of you for taking the time to respond. Your advice and comments have really helped me in my decision making. I am going to consider all of your advice and make a decision. He want's to start this arrangement the first week of February so I need to let him know this week. Thanks again guys for all your help and I will keep you posted.
Hey Joe,
There is no sham in being a competent woodworker, but not being a business owner. In other words, just because you can successfully support yourself with your work doesn't mean you have to.
I would insure a clear and fair separation agreement be worked out. Just like a prenuptial, it will save a lot of trouble if it comes to that.
Joe: Hate to break it to you, but you never had a business! What you had was a job for 21 years. One is considered owning a business when they can walk away from it and it will run without them. Put it into perspective by reading "The E-Myth" or looking up Action Coaching. The deal does not sound too bad, but, will certainly hold some challenges. As far as using your own tools, what are they worth anyhow? Leads to your new employer, so what, let him sell the jobs and you do what you enjoy, that is woodworking! Best of luck. John
Hi John, yes I know all too well and I couldn't agree more. I too read the E-myth and other books on the subject. It's one reason I finally threw in the towel. I think one of the quotes in the book went something like this; "working for yourself is the worst job in the world because your working for a lunatic". That always stuck with me. Obviously some people can make it work, but the older I get, the harder it is to for me to justify. Thanks for the opinion. It is appreciated!
All arrangements like this require close scrutiny of all the details. My first nreaction though is this is a total win/win situation for everyone involved.
BH Davis
I was offered and accepted an hourly position working for what used to be my competition. It hasn't been without its headaches. There are constant issues with an incompetent designer/business manager, who would have been fired by most people long ago. On the plus side, I don't have to look for work, steady paycheck, 40 hours per week with the option to work more most weeks, and other than the designer, the other guys are great to work with. And filing your taxes is a breeze when you're no longer self employed.
don't forget to discuss exit options should you feel you no longer like the situation.
If you enjoy the hands-on work more than you 'enjoy' the business side of it, then it could work out well. running a business can sap the enjoyment out of an activity, maybe this new situation will let you get back to what you actually love doing without all the hassle of running the game daily.

Clarence Chang and Bob North spoke for the University of Hawaii on the negative. Affirmative Argument The affirmative contended the unchecked power of the supreme court to be injurious because of inconsistence of many of its rulings. In addition the S. C. debaters showed that decisions of the courts sometimes perverted the principle of amendments to the constitution. Since congress represents the will of the people, declared the affirmative. it is only logical that congress should be supreme in matters of constitutionality. Arguing the negative, the Hawaiian team tried to show that congress does not necessarily express the sovereign will of the people. They also contended that history shows that decisions of the court have, ln the vast number of cases, been proved right. Hawkins Presides Trevor Hawkins presided at the debate. Judges wen' W. H.

Brotherhood week was inaugurated in 1934 by the national conference of Jews and Christians. t Church's Pendleton . .. has no controversies They selected. as their slogan, "Make America Safe for Differences." The emphasis has been at institutions of higher learning and through religious conferences it has well-developed organizations at U. C. L. A., L. A. J. C., and S. C. The organization distinctly does not aim at any sort of church union nor does it engage in any religious controversy, according to its president, Ellen F. Pendelton. It emphasises that social and com-znunity tasks are of common concern and calls for cooperation in them. It proclaims that Protestants, Catholics and Jews in their beliefs and rituals may be separate in themselves but should be united in the common undertakings that good citizenship demands. During the past two years Brotherhood day has stressed the words and example of George Washington as a foremost advocate of making America safe for differences. The emphasis this year, however, will be on the contributions which Jefferson, Adams, Madison, with Lord Baltimore, Roger Williams and other colonial and revolutionary leaders have made to the American tradition of civil and religious liberty. The religious conferences and meetings that have been arranged were through a committee of 100, consisting of prominent civic, religious, social and industrial citi zens of this community. In southern California, the University Religious Conference, a state corporation, represents the national organization in the task of promoting fellowship and under standing.

NORTH LITTLE ROCK — Republican candidate for governor Asa Hutchinson said Monday there is "fuzziness" about the Beebe administration's estimate of the potential impact on the state budget if the so-called private option is not renewed.
NORTH LITTLE ROCK — Republican candidate for governor Asa Hutchinson said Monday there is "fuzziness" about the Beebe administration's estimate of the potential impact on the state budget if the so-called private option is not renewed.
Speaking at the winter convention of the Arkansas Sheriffs' Association, Hutchinson also said the state's 2011 sentencing and parole reforms need to be revisited and accused President Barack Obama of understating the dangers of marijuana.
Hutchinson was asked during his appearance about the possibility of budget cuts if legislators decide during the upcoming fiscal session not to renew funding for the private option, the state's program that uses federal Medicaid money to provide private health insurance to low-income Arkansans.
Built into Gov. Mike Beebe's proposed balanced budget for the coming fiscal year is an estimated $89 million in savings from the private option. Hutchinson told the sheriffs that "I think the numbers are very, very loose. We've tried to dip into those, and it's hard to put a figure on exactly the budget impact if the private option is not approved."
Talking to reporters later, Hutchinson would not say whether he believes the Legislature should renew funding for the private option, but he said that "I think there's a lot of fuzziness on what may or may not happen" if the private option is not renewed.
State Department of Human Services Director John Selig told a legislative panel last week that the savings are expected to result from moving people out of the traditional Medicaid program and into the private option and from a reduction in the need for state funding to help hospitals with uncompensated care costs.
Beebe spokesman Matt DeCample said Monday the administration is confident that the $89 million figure is a close estimate.
"A lot of work went into pinning that number down," DeCample said. "And it's not like that money is going to still be there if the private option goes away."
Hutchinson also told the sheriffs that Act 570 of 2011, which sought to ease prison overcrowding and lower costs in the prison and parole system, needs retooling.
"I believe that we need to revisit (the law), particularly in the area of some of the offenses that went from a felony to a misdemeanor … but also on the accountability on the parole side," he said.
Asked by reporters to cite specific problems with the law, Hutchinson said, "What I hear most about is, the felony theft limit was raised substantially in Act 570. That's what many are complaining about, the prosecutors and sheriffs, that that does not give them enough flexibility to file more serious charges and to get their attention."
On the parole side, he said that "everything, from the number of parolees that are assigned to each parole officer and how they're broken down from high-risk to low-risk, I think that has to be looked at as well."
Hutchinson also told the sheriffs he was concerned by Obama's comment in an interview published Sunday in The New Yorker that "I don't think (marijuana) is more dangerous than alcohol."
"He is sending a signal to the young people of our nation that marijuana is not a path you need to worry about, it's not a path of danger, it's not a path of problem, and it is OK," he said. "That, you can be assured, will result in an increase in teenage marijuana use all across this country and in every county in Arkansas. So that has made your job even more difficult."
The state Democratic Party said in a statement Monday, "When bureaucrat-turned-lobbyist Asa Hutchinson went to Washington, he left his Arkansas values behind. In Congress, Hutchinson consistently voted against increasing funding for the Community Oriented Policing Services program. This is a program that makes our communities safer and has put more than 1,350 additional police officers and deputy sheriffs on the streets in Arkansas and added 120 resource officers to our schools."
Hutchinson is a former U.S. attorney for the Western District of Arkansas, 3rd District congressman, administrator of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, undersecretary for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and National Rifle Association spokesman. Also seeking the GOP nomination for governor are state Rep. Debra Hobbs, R-Rogers, and Little Rock businessman Curtis Coleman.
Former 4th District Congressman Mike Ross is the only Democrat in the governor's race.

I should have asked the question "How could someone who was missing be in two places at once?" Instead, I asked the wrong question - four wrong questions, more or less. This is the account of the second. In the fading town of Stain'd-by-the-Sea, young apprentice Lemony Snicket has a new case to solve when he and his chaperone are hired to find a missing girl. Is the girl a runaway? Or was she kidnapped? Was she seen last at the grocery store? Or could she have stopped at the diner? Is it really any of your business? These are All The Wrong Questions.

New stats show high absentee rate in Pittsburgh Public Schools
Superintendent Linda Lane says trend must change
Pittsburgh Public Schools administrators are stunned at the alarming absentee rate throughout the district.
They're monitoring kids who miss at least 10 percent of the 180 school days. All absences -- excused and unexcused -- are considered.
When the numbers are broken down, kids living on the North Side have the highest absentee levels at each grade level. In other words, the highest absentee rate for each age group throughout the district is led by a school on the North Side.
Perry High School: 60 percent of student body
Schiller 6-8: 36 percent
Spring Hill K-5: 35 percent
Superintendent Linda Lane said North Side students shouldn't be singled out.
"We have problems in every area of the city with attendance, so whatever we do to get our hands around this problem has to be a city-wide campaign," she told Channel 4 Action News' Sheldon Ingram.
Lane said that schools with the best attendance aren't quite where they should be.
"First of all, we have to get with our parents, because families are going to have the most influence on getting kids to school," she said.
A "be there" campaign to encourage students to attend class is in the works, but Lane could not say when it might launch.
Data for all city public schools are posted on the web at www.stateofthedistrict.org.

Professional Community for Car Dealers, Marketing, Advertising and Sales Leaders
I am pumped to announce that AutoCon 2012 has upgraded their fall Conference facility to handle the overwhelming demand of dealers and exhibitors. I was just advised on this news and wanted to share it on ADM.
The conference planning team just informed me that AutoCon 2012 will be held at the Aria Hotel & Casino on September 5-8th. The entire 3rd floor of the hotel is reserved for AutoCon 2012. Impressive.
I love the layout of the conference rooms, meals, and exhibits that keep everyone together; see the floor plan on the website. I am also pleased to see that hotel rooms are only $125 and registration costs include all meals and receptions.
Dealer Principals receive complimentary registration; that is just awesome.
Wi-Fi is included everywhere so attendees can stay connected to their dealership. Anyone who knows how challenging it can be to be out of the email loop will appreciate that Wi-Fi will be available everywhere for attendees!
Congratulations to Ralph Paglia, Chris Saraceno, Mike Myers, and Carrie Hemphill for creating a compelling alternative fall conference that has real traction for car dealers.

Thank you for the update, Brian... Carrie and the entire AutoConnections Conference Team have been working at a feverish pitch over the last 48 hours on a mission of finding a bigger and better venue. Many thanks to the sponsors and dealers who have enrolled over the past week and provided us with the revenue to upgrade the AutoCon 2012 venue to the fabulous $2 Billion facilities at City Center Las Vegas and the Aria Hotel. With the upgraded general session auditorium and state of the art stage, AutoCon will now be able to handle well over 500 attendees. This is VERY BIG NEWS and I could not be prouder or more thrilled with Carrie's superb management of the upgraded facilities negotiation.
The rooms at Aria where AutoCon 2012 attendees will be staying are AT LEAST twice as nice as those at the much older Mirage property... And thanks to Carrie's negotiation skills, AutoCon attendees will be staying at the Aria for less than half the cost this property normally receives! A nicer hotel at a room rate less than most other conferences is yet another reason to attend AutoCon 2012 and gain the most significant strategic insights and competitive advantages in the auto industry.

Portrait of the Artist
Painting as an Art
The A.W. Mellon Lectures in the Fine Arts were inaugurated by Jacques Maritain in 1952, and in subsequent years, Kenneth Clark, Herbert Read, Etienne Gilson, E.H. Gombrich, and Siegfried Giedion gave public talks at the National Gallery which, expanded and rewritten for publication in the Bollingen Series, made significant theoretical and historical contributions to the understanding of the arts and their interrelations. During the decades that followed, many important figures in the field gave their best to these presentations, and the set for 1984, which Richard Wollheim was asked to give, has now been published. It is one of the more accomplished volumes, not only in its philosophical elegance, clarity, and grip, and in its apt selection of illustrations, but also in the provocative and revelatory quality of the text when it turns to particular works, although a reader unfamiliar with contemporary philosophical discourse may find this characterization difficult to apply, since the argument of the text is dense, continuous, and often technical. One can find something to question and contend in nearly every line—a circumstance which leads to the best sort of intellectual exchange.
Painting is certainly a familiar activity. Some people paint their nails, others houses, still others plates. There are those who paint in prose, and those who sell scenes of merriment—along with sunsets and sailboats in gross lots—to enliven hotel walls and stultify, for sleep, the traveler's eye. Starving artists auction off sofa-sized canvases at nearly nothing an inch, while rich ones lacquer lobbies and long public halls for a bundle. There is nothing we can immediately discern in what Elliott Carter is doing when he composes that would lead us to differentiate it from what Irving Berlin does, unless, of course, we looked at the notes; both James Michener and John Barth must fill the page with words that say themselves in sentences; souvenir mugs and richly glazed vases sit in the same kiln, baking away like so many city bodies on the beach. What is there about one procedure that sets it as far off from the other as a bike's bell is from the ringing of a church's changes? What were Daumier or Lautrec contriving that the tabloid illustrators couldn't? Each covered emptiness with color; each made marks; each peddled his product. What makes the act of painting into an act of art?
Questions of quality are not currently thought to be the correct questions. A tolerant pluralism is politically expedient and commercially profitable; relativism sounds liberal and inclusive, welcoming every sex, age, race, and nation; certain kinds of skepticism save one from the labors of disproof; elitism smacks of elitism, the acne of the upper crust; and not having to take a stand allows one the immediate luxury of sitting down. "Quality" is a word wet with the salesman's saliva; intellectuals ring up ideas on a register imported from France, and render freshly apt the expression "the treason of the clerks."
Quality, we are told, distinction, and what are called "refinements…

Rebecca Minkoff: Spring 2012
Rebecca Minkoff Spring 2012
Rebecca Minkoff Spring 2012
Rebecca Minkoff debuted a Spring collection today that will surely be sought after by a bevy of downtown girls. As DJ Mia Moretti mixed the soundtrack, the crowd — which included guests Sophia Bush, Chris Pine, Jessica Szohr, Alexis Bledel, and Michelle Trachtenberg — seemed mesmerized by Minkoff's "Desert-Love" collection featuring a sun-drenched color palette. Romantic billowy blouses, louche print trousers, sheer maxi dresses, and lace tops showed Minkoff's signature romantic touch, while leather separates and cutout dresses added edge. Minkoff's accessories collection was also in full force as the models held on to colorful clutches and chain bags. Down below, we spied a range of cutout booties and sweet lace-up sandals. However, the icing on the cake came when the crowd went crazy for the Man Repeller's Leandra Medine as she walked down the runway wearing a pair of black leather shorts and silk blouse. All while filming the moment on her own camera phone, of course. More details from the collection below.
