"This invitation is gorgeous and the designer was able to customize all the colors based off of our wedding palette, totally transforming the look of the invitation. In addition, we were able to add text on the backside with the wood background, as suggested by the designer. We are very happy with this product!"
"I completely changed the wording and font of the entire response card. The editors worked with me throught four different submitted changes... They are so patient!!"
"These response cards were beautiful and simple. We loved the design. The paper quality is excellent and we have gotten a lot of compliments!"
"These were wonderful! We didn't' have a use for the entree choice, and instead added an email reply line. They turned out great and the professional designer edited our etiquette and spelling!"

If Facebook is any indication, people have hundreds of friends. However, if you are like most people, you only really call three or four people often. Since you call or text these core friends most often, it would be nice to quickly access them. Perhaps a shortcut placed in your notification area would be helpful.

Referee Payment on the Field
Due to the recent scrutiny of the IRS on Non Profit Organizations such as Youth Sport Clubs. GSYSL recommends the following procedure be used when paying Referees on the field. Please understand this is for your clubs protection if an audit were to be done by the IRS of your Clubs expenditures.
Just to clarify a few points up front:
A portion of your club fees are used to pay the League Assignor
According to the GSYSL Constitution and Bylaws the League appoints the League Assignor
GSYSL instituted the Payment of Referees on the field to insure that Clubs only pay for the Referees assigned who actually appear at the match.
Payments may be made by Club Check or Cash (club option).
W-9 Forms will be provided upon request for any Referee your club pays.
The League recommends that clubs provide a form (see attached or link below) by which the Club as the Payor of the Referee Fee records the Name of the Referee and the amount paid to the Referee prior to the match in order that the payor have an actual record of the amount paid out.
There is no need to request a w-9 be signed at the field. The league will provide you with a copy of the Referees W-9 form for your records UPON REQUEST. Clubs must submit the name of the referee and game # you obtain from the form below. Contact the League Treasurer's Office at firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com
Referees have been instructed to fill out the Payment form you present to them at time of payment by submitting their name (printed legibly) and the amount paid
If your club wishes to receive a copy of the Referee Assignments for your club home games, you may request a copy ONLY at the end of each season UPON REQUEST and must be requested within 1 week after the season has ended. Submit your request to
. This information will only contain the name of the referees and the game information ONLY
The league also recommends an IRS 1099 MISC be issued to any referee paid in excess of $600 (unlikely) by your club
Click here for a sample form that can be used to capture the necessary information for Payment of the Referee on the field. Copies should be made available to those within your club responsible for paying the referees at the field (Team Managers or Coach's)
Club Referee Payment on the Field Form
Additional Suggestion:
If you have access to Google Doc's you can set up a simple Form to correspond with the payment form for the Coach or Team Manager to submit the information online. This will facilitate the collection of data in one place and allow your club treasurer to view, organize, and sort the expenditures made on the field by the various teams within your club.
These recommendations are being provided to ensure your club has a record of expenditures paid to the referees.

This conversation is closed.
Debate: Is mental illness contagious?
We are constantly being told 'it is in our genes' But I feel perfectly normal kids can have their mental state changed because of mistreatment. I also feel that being exposed to mental illness can cause mental illness.What do you think and what are your experiences?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Oct 29 2012: A mental state is something different than a mental illness.
For decades psychology saw most mental illnesses as the consequence of mistreatment during childhood. A very frustrating period for many parents because in most cases it later appeared to have a biological cause.
If the brain functions a bit different as what is commonly understood as normal that person has a handicap to function within society in the way it is expected. This alone gives an enormous dose of stress because everyone wants to be and function like everyone else.
If you have a physical handicap that is invisible and nobody would have any consideration for your condition the same would happen. The difference however that in that case you could tell about your handicap which isn't possible with a mental disorder.
Nothing contagious with mental illnesses but very much so with condemnations of all kinds.
Oct 29 2012: Medical miistakes have always occurred. I am not a fan of psychologists, whom I believe are over-rated.
I do personally know someone whom labelled herself eccentric for years, sayng she was an unusual person and merely eccentric.She suffered from delusions due to acquired brain injury following a car accident and became known for child abductions.
Incorrect diagnosis is dangerous to people, and failure to dagnosis can be very dangerous also. Unrealistic expectations of a persons abilty can cause them to fall victim to injury,crime and more.

Here's how RW members rated this race (906 votes).
In short: Fast & Flat, but very lacking in crowd support outside the city centre !Date of review: September 11, 2011
In short: Well organised, excellent marshalls, could have done with something more to munch on in the goody bag for the money!Date of review: September 11, 2011
Date of review: February 28, 2011
In short: Always well organised (Bath needs to learn from Bristol here) good course and goodiesDate of review: November 14, 2010
In short: A very well organised event,Date of review: October 27, 2010
In short: Hadn't done this for a while - great to be back getting a PBIn full: It had been 3 or 4 years since I last did this one. I came back with a PB and it was pretty well organised for such a big event. If you fancy a shot at a PB in a big event this is the one. Far more interesting than Bath half and much, much better organised.Date of review: October 5, 2010
In short: Good running conditions, good marshaling and cheery crowds.In full: Good running conditions, good marshaling and cheery crowds. Glad my timing chip didn't fall off (like lots of others did) as this was a PB for me! One tiny complaint - the purple bibs looked rather like the pink ones....until you turned up at the wrong start and realised the mistake. I wasn't alone!Date of review: September 26, 2010
In short: Another steady performance from the organisers of the Bristol HalfIn full: I like this event! This may be partly because Bristol is my home town and this means that race day involves meeting family, friends and fellow club runners, both on the course and in the galleries, but there's more to it than that. There is no doubt that, whatever the glitches (and this year's problem with the chips was one of the more serious failings of recent years), this is a competently organised city centre event. I have just written my review of the Chippenham Half, which I ran the following week and which really is in a league of its own, but I have to say that the Bristol Half is pretty good.The event website and advance organisation all seem to do the job and there is plenty of information for inexperienced and experienced runners alike. The wave starts are clearly described and seem to work. Any problems arise from runners being silly about their predicted times, not from poor organisation. The control on the day over numbers and allocation of runners to start pens is firm but friendly and I would say that it is pitched about right. As for the course, it doesn't suit everyone, but I like it. It is undoubtedly a fast course, which is why Bristol has attracted some elite runners (both here and for the 10k) over the years. The Portway sections allow runners to get smoothly through the first eight miles and the stretch along Cumberland Road offers more of the same. The later miles do have some twists and turns, but any frustration at this is, for me, outweighed by the growing sense of "city centre" atmosphere and increasing support. And as for the comments about the cobbles, if you ever did London in the days of the cobbles in front of the Tower of London, you would find Welsh Back pretty insignificant in comparison!Excellent support around the finish and a competent finishing funnel. Given the howling mess that some cities make of mass participation events, I think that Bristol City Council should be congratulated for their role in this event. (As a resident, I'm pretty critical of a lot of things that they do!) It makes me think that I might even switch disciplines and have a go at the Olympic distance triathlon that is rumoured to be on the cards for 2011!The day was wet and this provided some good running conditions. Thanks to all the marshals, drinks station teams and assorted officials for keeping it all on track! I was a bit slower than last year, but beat my main rival for the first time this year after two defeats! Now I'm off to sign up for the 2011 10k.Date of review: September 17, 2010
In short: Good race, pretty flat, good atmosphere- not much of a crowd supportIn full: Quite fast race, got a PB but the Crowd support was very sparse maybe because of the weather. Poor idea to strap chip to laces with sticky tape- passed so many on the road and i was in the first half of race- spent most of the race looking down to see if mine was still attatched. Overall a good pleasant race, ideal for beginners but fast enough for more experiencedDate of review: September 14, 2010
In short: A good organised race, but the course wasnt as quick as I expected.Date of review: September 11, 2010

A chest X-ray was ordered, and the radiologist discovered a two-centimeter mass in Workman's lung. He didn't tell Workman directly but noted the finding, and recommended an immediate follow-up in an electronically signed note sent to Workman's primary care doctor at VA.
But that doctor never bothered to look at the note, nor the X-ray. Nearly two years later, Workman was diagnosed with lung cancer. He died in January 2011.

We're excited to announce BAUER DAYS, an international tour featuring Bauer employees visiting hockey shops. Come meet us at a store near you to win prizes, learn about the latest gear, and get fitted by Bauer experts. The tour kicks off this weekend at the stops below – stay tuned for more information on how you can participate!
August 10 – Majer Hockey (North York, ON)
August 10 – Front Row Sports (Thorold, ON)
August 11 – Perani's Hockey World (London, ON)
Bauer Hockey, Hockey Canada Research Shows
Bauer Hockey, Inc., the world's leading manufacturer of ice hockey equipment, and Hockey Canada announced today the next phase of their Grow the Game partnership, including initial research study results as well as the creation of pilot programs developed to specifically address the results of those findings.
Launched in 2012, Grow the Game is a global initiative to add 1 million new players to the game of hockey by 2022, with Canada serving as the starting point of those efforts. Hockey in Canada has experienced historically low participation growth rates over the last few years, and today approximately 90 percent of Canadian families and their children choose not to play hockey.
"We're starting in Canada because it's home to not only a deep hockey heritage but it's also where Bauer Hockey was founded in 1927," said Kevin Davis, President and CEO of Bauer Performance Sports. "Some might say our goal is too bold, but the research shows that non-hockey families view the sport positively and many would 'definitely' consider enrolling their kids. With these findings, our focus now turns to breaking down perceived barriers."
Bauer Hockey and Hockey Canada commissioned an independent research initiative to better understand the considerations and barriers for non-hockey families and their children as they decide to play different sports. The findings from the survey show that 73 percent of non-hockey families would consider enrolling their child in the future, and nearly 40 percent said they would "definitely" consider enrolling their child.
Even as Canada's demographics are changing, New Canadians are engaged in the sport, with nearly two-thirds of families saying they would consider enrolling their child in hockey and 20 percent saying they would "definitely" consider.
The Perceived Barriers
In addition to the positive signs for growth, the research provided an in-depth look at the perceived barriers for those who have decided not to enroll their children in hockey. These barriers were consistent across regions and demographics and include:
Hockey is not perceived as fun
Non-hockey families do not perceive hockey as a 'fun' sport. Nearly every other sport in this research, such as soccer and baseball, was described as 'fun' by respondents.
Perceived time commitment
Many parents cited too much required travel and a commitment of three days per week as a significant concern. Parents cited a need for options beyond one-size-fits-all, similar to the range of choices offered in other sports, for kids who want less time commitment.
Perceived safety
Many parents do not perceive the sport as safe for their children to play, including a risk of concussion and a belief that the game promotes violent behavior.
Perceived affordability
Although entry-level players can get on the ice at an affordable cost with the appropriate equipment for their skill level, parents cited the high costs of enrollment fees and equipment as a perceived barrier.
"Hockey is a fun sport and through this exciting new initiative, Hockey Canada and Bauer Hockey want to ensure youngsters have opportunities to get on the ice and give it a try," said Paul Carson, Vice-President, Hockey Development at Hockey Canada. "By eliminating barriers preventing access to the sport, more girls and boys will be able to try hockey and have a fun, safe and positive experience with the ultimate goal of growing our sport across the country and around the globe."
The Pilot Programs to Overcome Barriers
To overcome these perceived barriers, Bauer Hockey and Hockey Canada announced the creation of pilot programs that will launch this fall in both Ontario and Nova Scotia. The programs, which will take place in Hamilton, Scarborough, Halifax and East Hants, were designed to be fun, affordable and convenient. The pilot programs will focus on the following aspects in an attempt to begin breaking down the perceived barriers to entry.
A Fun Experience:
Bauer, Hockey Canada and local governing bodies will host fun enrollment days for parents and kids, and provide informational materials on safety in the game, including the importance of equipment fit and educating parents on gear, the game and more.
These six-week sessions will meet for one hour once a week, which keeps the commitment to a minimum and allows for participation in other activities.
Improved Communication:
Locally marketed to reach non-hockey families and to communicate fun, safety, convenience and affordability.
Enrollment and equipment will be bundled together at $100.
After these programs are launched, tested and re-evaluated, they will be expanded into other regions to help grow the game.
Hall of Famer Mark Messier will assist Bauer Hockey and Hockey Canada in their efforts to attract additional players to the sport. Messier, who joined forces with Bauer Hockey last year following the company's acquisition of Cascade Sports, has been deeply committed to growing the game and has been a vocal advocate for increasing participation and safety.
"I'm excited about the opportunity to continue working with Bauer Hockey and Hockey Canada to help take down these barriers and bring more people to our game that's fun and teaches valuable life lessons," Messier said. "Along with the change in family lifestyles, the game of hockey has also changed. Kids need the opportunity to experience a variety of sports growing up, and it is our responsibility to offer our game in a way that is affordable, requires a reasonable commitment level, and most important, demonstrates how much fun hockey is for kids and families."

By: Steve Flamisch
ALBANY -- Police are investigating whether a CDTA bus driver unknowingly struck an elderly bicyclist Saturday on the University at Albany's uptown campus.
The accident happened just before 6:00 p.m. in the right exit lane leading from University Dr. to Western Ave., UAlbany spokesman Karl Luntta told NewsChannel 13.
The victim -- an elderly man whose name was not released -- was rushed to Albany Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries, Luntta said. The victim was not affiliated with the campus, but he was known to bicycle frequently in that area.
A police official with knowledge of what happened told NewsChannel 13 a CDTA bus may have hit the bicyclist and kept going, the bus driver apparently unaware of the accident. A CDTA supervisor and another employee were seen talking with investigators.
Within an hour of the accident, the first of two CDTA busses pulled over on Western Ave. to be examined for damage. The CDTA supervisor and university police officers questioned the driver for several minutes. Soon, that bus pulled away.
The investigators spent considerably more time questioning the second bus driver. That bus eventually left the scene with the CDTA supervisor's vehicle leading the way, and university police following behind.
Late Saturday, UAlbany's Luntta and CDTA spokesman Jonathan Scherzer said investigators were still working to determine whether the bus was actually involved in the accident. Luntta said it was not being treated as a criminal investigation, and that the driver had not been ticketed.
Paul Santamaria, who lives across the street from the accident scene, told NewsChannel 13 he was shocked by what happened. Santamaria said he has seen the victim bicycling in that area for decades.
"I've seen him ever since I was a teenager, which is going back to the mid-70s," he said. "To hear that this happened, it just kind of breaks my heart."

When one job isn't enough

More than 8-1/2 million workers held two or more jobs in May 1997. Four out of ten did so to meet regular household expenses or to pay off debts.
Other common reasons included enjoying work on the second job, wanting to save for the future, wanting to get experience or build up a business, and wanting some extra money to buy something special.
These data are from a supplement to the Current Population Survey. For additional information on reasons for multiple jobholding read "When one job is not enough," Issues in Labor Statistics (PDF 33K) (Summary 00-15).

Free burial for drunken drivers
So far, a Georgia undertaker has no takers on the special New Year's Eve offer. Meanwhile, Colorado offers a free app for iPhone drunks.
So, just how cheap are you?
A Georgia funeral home has a deal for party monsters with a frugal streak: a free burial if you drink, drive and die on New Year's Eve.
Between now and noon Thursday, drivers can visit McGuire, Jennings and Miller Funeral Home in Rome, Ga., and sign a contract stating they plan to drink or use drugs and drive on New Year's Eve. If they're killed in a wreck that night, the funeral home will bury them for free.
The pledge covers "everything they could possibly need," says owner Barry Miller, including a casket, grave space, limousine, flowers and embalming.
- Bing: Find a DUI attorney
Miller started Operation Stop and Think a decade ago after a family member was killed by a drunken driver.
"No one has signed yet," he says. "We've had some people call who didn't understand the contract."
Apparently, "free" is a pretty intoxicating word. But so is the phrase "living to see 2010."
In fact, there's an app for it.
The Colorado Department of Transportation is offering a free iPhone application that allows users to calculate their blood-alcohol content. "RU Buzzed?" (iTunes required) allows users to input their gender, weight, how much they've consumed and how long they've been drinking, even the type of drink. The app returns answers such as "No hangover expected," "You're buzzed" and "Don't even think about it." The app also uses GPS to find the nearest taxi office and provides its phone number (a Colorado-only function, unfortunately).

Obama marvels at ancient cityThe Associated Press | March 24,2013AP Photo
President Barack Obama tours the ancient city of Petra in Jordan on Saturday during his trip to the Middle East.PETRA, Jordan President Barack Obama set aside the Middle Easts tricky politics Saturday to marvel at the beauty of one of the regions most stunning sites, the fabled ancient city of Petra.
This is pretty spectacular, he said, craning his neck to gaze up at the rock faces after emerging from a narrow pathway into a sun-splashed plaza in front of the grand Treasury.
The soaring facade is considered the masterpiece of the ancient city carved into the rose-red stone by the Nabataeans more than 2,000 years ago.
Obamas turn as tourist capped a four-day visit to the Middle East that included stops in Israel and the West Bank, as well asJordan. The White House set low policy expectations for the trip, and the president was returning to Washington with few tangible achievements to show.
Aides said his intention instead was to reassure the regions politicians and people particularly in Israel that he is committed to their security and prosperity.
Curious residents and picture-taking tourists lined the streets of modern Petra as Obamas motorcade wound toward the entrance to the ancient city. The president, dressed in khaki pants, a black jacket and hiking boots, began his walking tour at the entrance to the Siq, a narrow, winding gorge cutting between two soaring cliffs.
The path opened into a dusty plaza with the massive columned Treasury as its centerpiece. Obama declared the carved monument is amazing.
The Bedouins named the building the Treasury because they believed that urns sculpted on top of it contained great treasures. In reality, the urns represented a memorial for Nabataean royalty.
Over time, historians have disagreed on the Treasurys purpose. However, a recent excavation proved that a graveyard exists underneath it.
The Nabataeans established Petra as a crucial junction for trade routes linking China, India and southern Arabia with Egypt, Syria, Greece and Rome. The city flourished until trade routes were redirected in the seventh century, leading to Petras demise.
Petra is Jordans most popular tourist attraction, drawing more than a half million visitors yearly since 2007. It may be familiar to many people who saw the 1989 movie, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Some scenes were filmed in the ancient city.
High winds and overcast skies nearly grounded Marine One, the presidential helicopter, in the Jordanian capital of Amman, which would have forced Obama to scrap the tourist stop. But the weather cleared enough for him and his delegation to make the hour-long flight across Jordans rugged landscape, arriving in Petra under bright sunshine.
The president departed Jordan after the tour and was due back in Washington late Saturday.MORE IN This Just InThe Associated Press Full StoryThe Associated Press Full StoryStaff Report Full Story

This song isn't only the best song of John Mayer, it's the best song in my life!
This song reminds me of my old self so I believe that it's the best song from John Mayer; I've never heard a better song from all new artists.

This song is amazing. Not only does John do good, but the whole band too.
This is the track that made me fall in love with Mayer. The beginning of it is absolutely gorgeous along with the rest of the song. The guitar solo toward the end is pure talent. Love Mayer.
This is my most favourite song. Out of all the artists I listen to, this one track makes me feel the most. The guitar and the entire intro is absolutely phenomenal and the lyrics, and Mayer's ability to tell a story in so little time is incredible. The very last bit "Keep me where the light is" speaks absolute volumes.

17In Your Atmosphere
Best Mayer song ever! Amazing lyrics and vocals. My favourite from live in LA. My top 5 would be: 1- In Your Atmosphere, 2- Neon (live in la), 3- Gravity, 4- Split Screen Sadness, 5- Stop This Train. So make this higher! Way better than the new country stuff he's into at the moment.
His best song by far. Shouldn't be at 37! Come on people! Amazing guitar and vocals once again. "I'm gonna steer clear, burn up in your atmosphere"
Absolutely amazed that this song isn't ranked higher. The guitar in this song is fantastic, and I don't think I have ever heard John sing better than on this song.
What adds to the charm of this song (for me), is the fact that it hasn't been released on a studio album. He wrote it in the tourbus. Well, if In Your Atmosphere is a leftover song, I can't even imagine what kind of other masterpieces he has written in his tourbus.

Some great remake news today. After going through test screenings in preparation for a remake of the moc-doc "Paranormal Activity", Paramount has decided that the film tested so well that there is no need to remake it. The film, which has garnered heavy buzz in the horror community lately, will debut September 25th at Midnight at Fantastic Fest 2009 in Texas.
Ryuhei Kitamura ("Versus", "Midnight Meat Train") is going to be directing an adaptation of one of Stephen Kings "Nightmares & Dreamscapes" tales, titled "Home Delivery".
Victor Salva says "Jeepers Creepers 3: Cathedral" is finally coming together money wise, with Gina Phillips slated to reprise her role as Trish, 23 years later. He also uses the phrase "you have to keep four or five balls in the air at a time", which might not be the smartest thing for a man with his past to say. Hey, just pointing out the obvious here.
I have an idea for the most annoying film ever. "Fight Club" with werewolves. Oh crap, looks like someone beat me to it.
Penis trauma is never funny. When it's a story about a guy who shot himself through his own junk however, it almost is. ALMOST.
This is literally a case of a politician being in bed with a lobbyist. And apparently, spanking one as well.
1993: The X-Files premieres on the Fox network. 7.4 million homes tune in to watch the ginger fueld sexual tension.
Anna is a young archaeologist who has made the find of her career; an old hospital, built atop an even older orphanage that dates back to the times of the plague. The problem is, the powers that be fear that opening the foundations of this old orphanage could create the dawn of the plague in the new era. Turns out they were close, because something darker lurks beneath as Anna starts to find connections between the orphanage and records of unexplained child deaths.
CC's back, Joe's confused, and we hope you enjoy the new sound!
A movie that has the crew conflicted.

Staten Island homes that were left vacant after Superstorm Sandy are getting some unwelcome tenants: squatters, DNAinfo.com reported.
A local community board member says the squatters look for homes that have had recent repairs then break in and start living there.
To make matters worse, there are fears that some of the squatters have come up with a scheme to make it harder to evict them.
DNAinfo.com reporter Nicholas Rizzi discusses the story.

The BIG EAST Conference has announced the 21 winners of the 2013-14 BIG EAST Scholar-Athlete Sport Excellence Awards, which recognize academic and athletic achievement as well as community service. DePaul's Jasmine Penny and Kirsten Verdun were recognized as the top scholar-athletes for women's basketball and softball.
DePaul Blue Demon senior student-athletes gathered at a luncheon hosted by Director of Athletics Jean Lenti Ponsetto on Friday afternoon as a kickoff to DePaul University's Commencement Weekend.
Even though California Chrome could not close out a spectacular bid for a thoroughbred three-peat, DePaul Athletics came roaring down the home stretch to claim a "Triple Crown" of its own.
It was close coming down the home stretch of DePaul's "Scholarship Month Derby," but a strong finish by the softball program alumni gave coach Eugene Lenti's team a repeat title.
After an impressive showing at the 2014 NCAA Tournament, DePaul softball finally cracked the national polls on Tuesday. The Blue Demons checked in at No. 24 in the NFCA rankings and No. 25 in the USA Softball/ESPN.com poll.
It was quite the occasion Saturday night in suburban Rosemont as Blue Demons from every sport gathered to celebrate one of the greatest seasons in the annals of DePaul athletics.

MOG Puts The Bloom On The Rose; To Be Reborn As "Daisy"
When it comes to music subscription services serving the U.S., MOG is undoubtedly one of the elders in that space. Now, four years after its initial inception, the site is primed for an injection of youth in the form of a new team, new functionality and a brand new (tentative) name: Daisy.
MOG has gone through a lot of changes since it launched as a music blog network in 2005, the first being becoming a full-fledged music subscription service. The next phase in its genesis? (Aside from myriad UI updates and app launches?) This past summer, MOG was sold to HTC through its Beats Electronics subsidy (makers of the ubiquitous Beats headphones) for a mere $14 million — the low price due likely in part to MOG's low user numbers. We weren't sure at the time what would become of MOG, but now it seems as though — in addition to new owners — MOG will be getting a fresh coat of paint.
Thursday, Beats — founded by artist and producer Dr. Dre and Interscope Geffen A&M Chairman Jimmy Iovine — announced that Topspin CEO Ian Rogers will be joining the team as CEO of a new music service currently called "Daisy." Rogers will also be in charge of heading up the preexisting MOG. Now, Beats isn't saying so explicitly, but pundits seem to concur that MOG and "Daisy" are one in the same — IE, Rogers will be taking the technology and licences from MOG and using them to create this new music subscription service iteration. Trent Reznor also recently joined the team as Chief Creative Officer.
"What's missing from the digital music landscape is a cultural context," Iovine says in a release. "We need to bring an emotional connection back to the act of music discovery. With Trent and now Ian we have the right team in place to do it."
MOG, from its earliest days, was all about adding context — via editorial — to music. It remains to be seen what aspects of the service will be retained and/or amplified in this newly flowering iteration, but with plenty of nourishment from the already flourishing Beats, this new incarnation could really grow.
"Daisy" will also work in tandem with Topspin, in some respects. Rogers will remain on the Topspin board of directors, with Beats making an investment in the company in order to "help create meaningful business opportunities for artists inside project 'Daisy.'"
Despite this smattering of clues, there's still no word on what Daisy will look like yet. However, according to All Things Digital, we do know that it will be an on-demand subscription service that will cost users around $10 per month (the industry norm). The service will also be its own standalone company — not directly connected to the Beats by Dr. Dre headphone line — and will function on iOS and Android devices. So, basically, it's not Neil Young's Pono.
Going into 2013, we've seen a lot of talk about whether music subscription services can ever be profitable (tipped off, in part, by the introduction of the Internet Radio Fairness Act) — we'll have to wait and see how this newly revamped offering fares in an already crowded landscape.

> Club Magazine backs Spirit of Scott Expedition
The Camping and Caravanning Club's monthly magazine, Camping & Caravanning, is supporting the British Services Antarctic Expedition (BSAE) 2012 in honour of former Club President, Captain Robert Falcon Scott.
The expedition will mark the 100th anniversary of Captain Scott's famous voyage to reach the South Pole and will commemorate his contribution to the nation and to science. Captain Scott was President of the Club from 1909 to 1912.
The two-month expedition will begin in December this year and be led by Lt Col Paul Edwards of the Royal Logistic Corps.
Twenty-four members of the British Services made up of the Navy, Army and RAF will explore and climb in remote areas of the Antarctica Peninsula. The expedition will be undertaken in the spirit of Scott rather than his footsteps.
The trip forms part of an educational outreach programme for school children and members of the public as it seeks to conduct scientific exploration in the region.
The scientific objectives include; the measurement of orographic flows and climate, GPS solid earth measurements, circumpolar deep water (CDW) analysis, sea ice proxy measurement and UV measurement.
Flight Lieutenant Stu Quinn (RAF), the expedition's Media Officer, said: "The trip aims to conduct examinations in remote locations to further the bounds of human exploration and knowledge.
"We are pleased The Camping and Caravanning Club's magazine is supporting our expedition as the Club has such a strong historical link with Captain Scott."
Editor of Camping & Caravanning Magazine, Simon McGrath, added: "The Club's core ethos of enjoying and exploring the outdoors goes back to the days of Captain Scott and even today he is remembered as a brave and iconic explorer.
"We are proud to support such an inspirational expedition and we would like to wish all of the participants the very best of luck."
The expedition aims to raise £10,000 for the Help for Heroes charity.

Bringing Clear Focus to Amazon
Margie is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
"Worse or better?" the optometrist questions you as he adjusts the lenses you are looking through until the blurry letters start to come into focus.
As financial news writers our goal is similar to bring a company's prospects into clearer focus, as without being a high level insider there's almost no possibility that you have 20/20 vision.
Recently at the Motley Fool there have been two contrasting editor choice columns written by Daniel Sparks and Douglas Ehrman about Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), both with differing opinions about the stock. I thought that I would summarize some of their arguments, as well as throw my opinion into the ring, and hopefully give you, the investor, a clearer understanding of the company.
The following points were argued:
1. Will the added sales tax Amazon is forced to collect affect growth?
For years Amazon has avoided collecting state sales taxes from their customers. This has led consumers such as myself to purchase products from Amazon which I might have just gone to the grocery store and bought previously, especially if I didn't immediately need them. Specifically I remember a time when I was purchasing Tide Pods to do my family's laundry. Walmart.com (NYSE: WMT) had the exact same price as Amazon, but would charge me taxes making it substantially more expensive. As a rational consumer, I of course purchased from Amazon.com.
To quote from Mr. Ehrman's article: "There is evidence, however, that the sales tax factor is not critical to the company's success. In a recent interview, Topeka Capital Market's Victor Anthony explained to Jeff Macke that there is "no material difference between revenue growth rates in markets where Amazon is taxed and not taxed."
As I explained my own behavior above, to me this quote makes absolutely no sense! Kind of like banks in 2006 making $750,000 home loans to strawberry pickers making $14,000 a year and telling me statistically 98% of home loans are repaid. Obviously the Amazon situation is not nearly as extreme as my example, but to think that Amazon sales will be unaffected by the collection of sales tax is pure malarky. Would you lend $750,000 to somebody making $14,000 a year?? Are you, as a consumer, more or less likely to shop at a business which has lost its pricing advantage? Sometimes analysis can be that simple. If you disagree with me, feel free to explain why in the comment section below.
2. Streaming video- will it add to Amazon's bottom line?
Mr. Ehrman argues that Amazon's Prime membership, which includes free access to many streaming videos, is less expensive than Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX), while Mr. Sparks argues that when you throw quality into the equation Netflix easily bests Amazon.
Here I believe that both optometrists have you looking through dirty lenses.
First off, Mr. Spark's is correct in one aspect, the selection of free streaming videos currently offerred by Amazon is not competitive with Netflix. When I signed up for Prime membership, I temporarily dumped my Netflix subscription as I believed it to be redundant; I was wrong. In addition to selection, Netflix is easier to navigate, and is also coming out with its own original content, the first of which was "Lillyhammer" which was surprisingly good.
That being said, Prime membership also includes free two day shipping so if you order something with Amazon you get your goods more quickly, versus paying for that privilege. Today I maintain memberships with both companies, but with Amazon beginning to collect sales tax, I would be more willing to drop my Prime membership, than my Netflix account.
3. Cloud Computing is a big winner for Amazon?
Amazon has long been deemed the 800 pound gorilla of cloud computing. Ask anyone in the tech world, and they'll sing high praises of Amazon Web Services (AWS) However, according to Mr. Sparks and Amazon's financial statements, the AWS division represents only approximately 4.2% of net sales.
Additionally, there is a flood of competition coming in from huge players like Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) Oracle (NYSE: ORCL), and Hewlett Packard who will either be offering a differentiated product, or a superior price to steal away business from Amazon. That being said, there are tons of companies out there who are saving massive amounts of money they formerly spent on their IT departments by outsourcing these needs to the big cloud players.
To quote from the NY Times, "For one, the big incumbent Silicon Valley companies, like Hewlett-Packard and Oracle, are taking cloud computing for business very seriously. They plan to go up against cloud challenges from Amazon and Google by promising better security, reliable industry standard practices, and a higher quality of services. They are selling these aspects to the top levels of the company, while Amazon and Google have succeeded by reaching to individual engineers and department heads. In other words, the incumbents are using their existing business relationships, and their knowledge of how much big business values peace of mind."
There's tremendous room for growth in this field, and even with the new competition, this should still be a big winner for Amazon with expanding sales as demand invariably increases.
Mr. Sparks rightly points out that Amazon has a forward price to earnings ratio of 127, and that this leaves little margin for error, and that is assuming it isn't already overpriced.
Amazon does not generate a lot of free cash flow, or immediate profits, in part because CEO Jeff Bezos continually reinvests in projects he thinks will bring future revenues to add to the bottom line.
For example, Amazon no doubt invested a ton of money into producing the Kindle, and each successive generation of the product. A few weeks ago, I purchased the Kindle Fire, in part because of the free book rental which Amazon grants to customers using their Kindle, which at about $10 a pop, would within two years pay for the Kindle purchase itself.
That being said, I found the tablet a surprisingly wonderful way to read books, and have often found myself purchasing more electronic books from the company (giving the e-commission every corporation dreams of) which means that their marketing strategy is a success. Amazon has me entwined in their web.
These profits, however, are not immediately showing up, but are long term and residual, which explains to a degree the reason investors are willing to pay such a high valuation.
Bottom Line
I tend to side with Mr. Sparks- as much as I love Amazon, the company, I believe that finally being forced to collect sales taxes from consumers will have a deleterious effect on revenues, and because I don't have 20/20 vision into the valuation of the company, I have to pass and move on to greener pastures.
If anyone has a thought that will help me gain closer to 20/20 vision, feel free to comment below.

Blues just as desperate for points as QPR, says Dutchman.
John Heitinga
John Heitinga has warned relegation-threatened Queens Park Rangers that Everton will be just as desperate for victory when the sides meet at Goodison Park on Saturday.
Last weekend's 2-2 draw at Spurs means the Blues are four points below the Premier League's fifth and final European qualification spot with seven games remaining.
QPR, meanwhile, conceded a devastating 94th-minute equaliser at home to Wigan last time out to leave themselves 19th in the table and seven points from safety.
And while Heitinga expects QPR to scrap for their top-flight lives on Merseyside, he says Everton's desire to keep their European ambitions alive will be just as strong.
"I think we've got the same desperation as QPR," said the Dutchman. "It won't be an easy match. I remember the game at their place was tough as well.
"Everyone thinks it's easy and you'll win 4-0 but that's not the way football is at the moment. They will come to defend.
"At White Hart Lane it was Tottenham who made most of the game and on Saturday it's up to us to make the game.
"We don't have the biggest squad but if you see our performances over the whole season, they've been really good. And with seven games to play we're still in the hunt. We know we must beat QPR to fight for a European place though."
Heitinga's performance at White Hart Lane was the latest in a string of impressive outings from the Dutchman, who himself admits to enduring a dip in form early on in 2013.
The former Ajax and Atletico Madrid man was voted Everton's player of the season last term and knows such dramatic contrasts are part and parcel of life as a Premier League footballer.
"I've been playing for a long time now and in football you can go from hero to zero and back again," he said. "At the beginning of the season I was thinking I should start but the manager decided something else and so I was a little bit disappointed.
"Then after that I wasn't playing my best football so it was easy for the manager to put me on the bench.
"The only thing I could do was work hard. In the end the quality is always there but when you work hard it comes out."
Tickets for Saturday's home game against QPR are now on general sale. To buy, click here or call 0871 663 1878.

Defense Acquisitions:
Assessments of Selected Major Weapon Programs
GAO-05-301: Published: Mar 31, 2005. Publicly Released: Mar 31, 2005.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-2811
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Department of Defense (DOD) is embarking on a number of efforts to enhance warfighting and the way the department conducts business. Major investments are being made to develop improved weapon systems to combat various threats to U.S. security. While the weapons that DOD ultimately develops have no rival in superiority, weapon systems acquisition remains a long-standing high-risk area. GAO's reviews over the past 30 years have found consistent problems with weapon acquisitions such as cost increases, schedule delays, and performance shortfalls. In addition, DOD faces several budgetary challenges that underscore the need to deliver its new major weapon programs within estimated costs and to obtain the most from those investments. DOD can help resolve these problems by using a more knowledge-based approach for developing new weapons. This report provides congressional and DOD decision makers with an independent, knowledge-based assessment of selected defense programs that identifies potential risks and needed actions when a program's projected attainment of knowledge diverges from the best practice. It can also highlight those programs that employ practices worthy of emulation by other programs. GAO plans to update and issue this report annually.
GAO assessed 54 programs, which represent an investment of over $800 billion, ranging from the Missile Defense Agency's Airborne Laser to the Army's Warfighter Information Network-Tactical. GAO's assessments are anchored in a knowledge-based approach to product development that reflects best practices of successful programs. This approach centers on attaining high levels of knowledge in three elements of a new product or weapon--technology, design, and production--at key consecutive junctures in development. If a program is not attaining these levels of knowledge, it incurs increased risk of technical problems, with significant potential cost and schedule growth implications. If a program is falling short in one element, like technology maturity, it is harder to attain the requisite amount of knowledge to prudently proceed in succeeding elements. The majority of programs GAO assessed are costing more and taking longer to develop than planned. Most of the programs proceeded with less knowledge at critical junctures than suggested by best practices, although some programs came close to meeting best practice standards. For example, technology and design for the F/A-22 matured late in the program contributing to large cost growth and schedule delays. The JASSM program, in contrast, has achieved a high level of knowledge at critical junctures while experiencing minimal cost increases or schedule delays. Managing these levels of knowledge takes on additional significance as DOD's share of the discretionary budget faces increasing pressure from the growth in mandatory spending and the demands of ongoing military operations. For these reasons, if DOD approves programs with low levels of knowledge and accepts the attendant likely adverse cost and schedule consequences, it will probably get fewer quantities for the same investment or face difficult choices on which investments it cannot afford to pursue.

GOP Lawmakers lambaste DoD over shutdown furloughs

Who Needs Big Data Marketplaces?
Who could start benefiting right away from big data marketplaces:
Scientists are wasting much of the data they are creating. Worldwide computing capacity grew at 58 percent every year from 1986 to 2007, and people sent almost two quadrillion megabytes of data to one another, according to a study published on Thursday in Science. But scientists are losing a lot of the data, say researchers in a wide range of disciplines.
It's also kind of scary to know that we cannot find enough funding to address such fundamental needs that can change the face of humanity.

Evening Lecture
A Tale of Two Peoples: Phoenicians and Jews in the Land Beyond the River
Dr. Andrea Berlin, Professor of Archaeology, Boston University, sheds light on six excavations at Tel Kedesh, the largest archaeological mound in Israel's Upper Galilee. During three separate periods of imperial control, the large complex—completed in the later 6th century BCE and used for the next 350 years—provided a stage for interactions between imperial powers, provincial administrators, and local elites. Admission: Pay-what-you-want. For more information, call 215.898.2680.
