On the heels of the successful introduction of the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution GSR, Mitsubishi Motors announces the availability of the more technologically-advanced 2008 Lancer Evolution MR, the newest and most sophisticated version of the model series that began 16 years ago.
Shown coming off the production line in Japan, the Lancer Evolution MR arrives at showrooms in the U.S. in June and is available for a suggested retail price of $38,290. The MR features more user technology and a broader market appeal than the entry level GSR, including an advanced 6-speed Twin Clutch Sportronic Shift Transmission.
The Lancer Evolution MR is available with an optional technology package for $40,840 that includes a 30GB hard drive navigation system with music server, 650-watt Rockford-Fosgate Premium Sound System, pre-paid Sirius Satellite Radio capability and FAST Key entry, which allows passive vehicle unlocking and engine start/stop simply by carrying the remote control and grasping the handle.
Since its introduction earlier this year, the tenth-generation 2008 Lancer Evolution GSR has met positive reactions across the industry for maintaining a balance of core performance values and improved all-around capability and user-technology:
- "Like every previous Lancer Evolution, the Evo X redeems its various idiosyncrasies with a fantastic engine and drivetrain." — Automobile "The car is impressive, not only for the gains in performance and handling, but also the subtle transformation from hardcore rally racer to high performance all-wheel-drive sports sedan." - AutoWeek
- "The Evo X drives like nothing else in the world." — Car and Driver
- "Mitsubishi has strengthened the Evo's slick-shifting five-speed manual for the tuner crowd. Shifter is nearly perfect." — Edmunds Inside Line
- "Whether manual tabbed or left in auto, S-Sport gear changes are brutally quick with the kind of shift violence seen only in Italian exotics." — MotorTrend
- "Is the new EVO better than before? — The answer is a resounding 'yes.'" — MSN Autos
- "Bottom line: It's drive-by-the-seat-of-your-pants, four-wheel fun." — Popular Mechanics
- "The new Lancer Evolution is no longer just for weekend boy racers; it has evolved into a complete sports sedan, one with enough of a wild side to thrill anyone." — Road & Track
"The introduction of the 2008 Lancer Evolution MR with TC-SST gives us an opportunity to expand upon the existing Evolution customer base," said Dan Kuhnert, executive vice president of sales and marketing for MMNA. "The added capability and functionality of the new Lancer Evolution vehicles make them a more viable option for everyday driving, while maintaining the rally-inspired heritage that has made the series a global performance car icon."
Both 2008 Lancer Evolution models will be on display at the 2008 Mitsubishi Owner's Day taking place in Cypress, CA on July 19, 2008.

To My Friends
Words of the Week
Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda
When we plant the seed of happiness that is faith and carefully tend its growth, it will produce fruit without fail. We have to bear in mind, however, that we cannot plant a seed today and expect it to bear fruit tomorrow. That's not reasonable and Buddhism is reason. If we persevere in the practice of "faith equals daily life" in accord with reason, then our prayers will definitely be answered. This is Nichiren Daishonin's promise to us. And his words are true beyond any doubt.<< Yesterday Today Tomorrow >>
These excerpts are from "For Today and Tomorrow," a book of daily inspirationals by SGI President Daisaku Ikeda. This book is available for purchase at our Online Bookstore or your local SGI-USA Community Center bookstore.

Your Clever Toddler in Week 55: Developmental Games To Play Now!
What your child learns this week
Give and take. You hand your child an object; she hands it back, eager for her turn with it. In time your child will initiate the exchange—it's a skill she'll need to develop in order to play any game at all. Why? All games involve taking turns, and social exchanges involve this simple interaction as well. Play along, even though you'll tire of the game far sooner than your child will.
Dropsy. You know how this game works—and you know it pleases your child: She drops food on the floor, you pick it up. (Repeat, oh, 34 times.) If you don't want to play dropsy with food, allow your child to drop a toy, then pick it up for her. The silver lining? She'll finally master that following-items-out-of-sight skill, and soon, you'll drop a toy and your child will pick it up. Someday, she'll even put it away in the toy basket. By playing dropsy, your toddler learns that every object—macaroni, block, or spoon—falls when dropped. It's a precursory understanding of gravity!
Point and name. Your child points to an object, and you name it. Your child points to the next object, and you name that, too. It's her way of absorbing information while interacting with her favorite person (that'd be you). Your child will eventually point and ask (about a dozen times an hour), "What's that?" (When she's older, your child will point and want to know not only an object's name but its function and purpose: "Why, Mommy?")
A final note on toddler games: These fun interactions will become the norm over the next few weeks and months. Your child will begin to initiate them herself, calling for your attention, crawling to the curtain, and then hiding behind it, eager for you to play hide and seek. If you're cooking dinner or working at your computer, you may not be up for it. But when you can, drop these tasks or at least multitask and play along: Your child needs this positive social exchange. Besides, if you don't play hide and seek, your child may find the cat and play pull the cat's tail. And that game will certainly get your attention!
Coming soon, look forward to: Week 56: Wary of Robots

The deadline for major construction has passed and work is still not complete on the Matlacha Bridge.
Nearby businesses and the county are fed up with the contractor after three years of construction.
"I knew they wouldn't be done now. No way. They had plenty of time to complete this project but they just drug their feet the first two years, and now they're trying to wrap it up in a hurry and that's not going to happen," said Jim Frock, of Matlacha.
Last month, the county issued a letter with a new deadline.
The contractor has until August 26th for touchups, but the work that still needs to be done is beyond that.
Lee County staff says removal of the old bridge is still not complete and work underneath the new one is still in the works.
Delays are now costing the county more than $2.1 million.
While most people are fed up, some residents are singing a different tune.
Scotty Player, of Matlacha, says its time to give the contractor a break.
"They found a lot of obstructions underwater, old timbers from the old days, so they had a lot of uphill battles to deal with," says Player. I think they're already here, they know what they got to do. I think they should give them an extension and let them finish the job."
So what's next? The county can kick the contractor off the site for default of contract or they can provide them with additional time.
A meeting to decide that will happen this week - but no date or time has been set.
Below is a slideshow of photos of construction at Matlacha Bridge taken on Monday.

Electronic medical records aren't always better medical records
Blog Entry:
January 07, 2013 2:57 PM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
that most doctors "copy and paste old, potentially out-of-date information into patients' electronic records," according to a new study, led by a
Case Western Reserve University professor
, that looks at a shortcut that some experts fear could lead to miscommunication and medical errors.
"The electronic medical record was meant to make the process of documentation easier, but I think it's perpetuated copying," Dr. Daryl Thornton, assistant professor at Case Western Reserve's
School of Medicine
, tells the news service.
Reuters notes that many electronic recordkeeping systems "allow text to be copied and pasted from previous notes and other documents, a shortcut that could help time-crunched doctors but that could also cause mistakes to be passed along or medical records to become indecipherable, critics argue."
Dr. Thornton's team "examined 2,068 electronic patient progress reports created by 62 residents and 11 attending physicians in the intensive care unit of a Cleveland hospital," according to the story.
Using plagiarism-detection software, Reuters says, the researchers "analyzed five months' worth of progress notes for 135 patients. They found that 82% of residents' notes and 74% of attending physicians' notes included 20% or more copied and pasted material from the patients' records."
The report, published in
Critical Care Medicine
, "did not examine what motivated physicians and residents to copy and paste, or whether the shortcut affected patient care," according to Reuters.
But the practice can have serious ramifications.
Dr. Thornton tells Reuters that in one case, "a patient left the ICU and was readmitted a couple of days later. The patient's medical record included so much copied and pasted information, the new team of doctors wasn't able to decipher the original diagnosis. In the end, the new team called the physicians who originally diagnosed the patient."
This and that
Main Street = middle of the road:
Steve LaTourette isn't in Congress anymore, but he's still a go-to guy for reporters
about the future of the Republican Party after a presidential loss and the fiscal cliff compromise.
The New York Times
says that when GOP leaders in Congress agreed to raise taxes on the wealthy last week, "it left the increasingly fractured and feuding party unified on perhaps only one point: that it is at a major crossroads. From Mitt Romney's loss on Election Day through the recent tax fight that shattered party discipline in the House of Representatives, Republicans have seen the foundations of their political strategy called into question, stirring a newly urgent debate about how to reshape and redefine their party."
Mr. LaTourette, who retired from his seat at the end of the year and will become president of the
Republican Main Street Partnership
, hopes to push his party into a more moderate direction.
He said his group would raise money to defend middle-of-the-road Republicans against the more conservative groups.
"There has to be an acceptance within the party of people who have non-identical views on every issue," Mr. LaTourette tells
The Times
. "You can't be a national party unless you invite in and are accepting of members with different visions. You can't treat them as pariahs."
Speaking of tax issues …:
Azim Nakhooda, chief executive of
Cedar Brook Financial Partners LLC
, is quoted in
this Reuters story
about what financial advisers are telling their clients in the wake of the fiscal cliff deal that creates higher tax rates for higher-income households.
Adviser "have gone into overdrive to help their clients mitigate the negative effects while trying to benefit from the greater clarity," the news service reports. "That means in some cases finding ways to defer income and in others, working on ways to curb spending. It can also mean being more aggressive about investing in equities rather than bonds or holding cash."
Mr. Nakhooda tells Reuters that he will be telling many of his high-earning clients that they have to reprioritize their personal life to recalibrate it with their financial life.
"For every dollar you had coming in, you now have 95 cents," says Mr. Nakhooda, whose firm manages $1.6 billion in assets. "How do you want to divvy that up?"
Capitalism at work:
Al Gore is getting all the headlines for his $70 million-plus payday in selling Current TV to Al Jazeera, but
Washington Post
blog entry
notes that former Clevelander Joel Hyatt deserves a fair amount of the credit for making it happen.
"Gore's salesmanship was the perfect complement to business partner Joel Hyatt's head for business and nose for opportunity," according to the post. "Hyatt also knows something about dynasties. Hyatt's father-in-law, former Ohio Sen. Howard Metzenbaum, retired in 1994 to create a vacancy so his son-in-law, a lawyer who'd founded a successful low-cost legal service could run for his seat. Hyatt calamitously lost his father-in-law's long-held Democratic slot to GOP candidate Mike DeWine, and never ran for elected office again."
The Post
doesn't estimate what Mr. Hyatt clears on the deal, and while it's likely to be smaller than Mr. Gore's share, he clearly did very well for himself on the investment.
Poor guy (literally):
I doubt
will generate much sympathy among those who lost money in the
of Akron-based Fair Finance.
The Associated Press reports that a federal judge in Indianapolis says a former Indiana financier "doesn't have to pay to appeal his conviction for swindling investors out of more than $200 million."
U.S. District Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson issued an order late last week granting Timothy Durham's request to proceed with his case as an indigent.
"Durham said last month that he had no money to file an appeal with the 7th U.S. Circuit of Appeals in Chicago because his multimillion-dollar home is in foreclosure and his financial assets are tied up in bankruptcy proceedings of the companies he used to control," the AP reports.
The 50-year-old Durham was sentenced to 50 years in prison in November after a jury convicted him of securities fraud, conspiracy and 10 counts of wire fraud in the Fair Finance collapse.

Stocks fell Friday as investors fretted over the possibility of a government shutdown next week.
BlackBerry reported a huge quarterly loss Friday, days after accepting its largest shareholder's tentative $4.7 billion bid to take it out of the public eye.

Lazer Monaco Window Pure Carbon, £396.85 Time tested: 2800 miles/five months What's good? This is a very high spec helmet including some great innovations that I had never tried before.

Bike HUD, £397 (currently £297) Time tested: Two months/1500 miles What's good? Despite the doubtful comments from most who've seen it, it works.

Shark Speed R Carbon Skin, £330 Time tested: Four months/ 2500miles What's good?

Originally titled 'Marking System Features Programmable Z Axis '
SIC Marking's model e8c153z-a dot peen marking system features a programmable Z axis for increased repeatability and a lighted work area for improved operator visibility. The marking window measures 160 × 100 mm (6.3" × 3.9") for marking various surfaces on one workpiece. The tungsten carbide stylus assembly equipped with a patented "auto-sensing" feature is said to achieve consistent mark results especially when pass/fail grades of traceability identification is required.
To increase user-interface versatility, the e8 controller enables manual data input, and bar codes can be scanned to proof data entry through the host computer interface. Data files can be created offline and uploaded to the machine controller.
Other features include a cast base that increases machine life in industrial environments and a box enclosure with a light curtain optimizes user safety. Standard options include a rotary axis for marking around circumferences and tag feeders for high-volume nameplate marking. Custom fixtures and integration for turn-key packages are also available.

Eating Grains Early
November 04, 2010
Start infants eating grains early
A recent study in Pediatrics suggests that waiting to introduce babies to cereal grains might not be a good idea if parents want to prevent food allergies. Babies who waited to eat grains until after six months of age more likely to develop wheat allergies, researchers report.
"At Children's we follow the guidelines of starting single grain cereals between 4 to 6 months of age, as long as the child is developmentally ready for solids," said Mary Susan Spears, a clinical and registered dietitian at Children's Medical Center Dallas.
Spears says that prior to introducing solid food, a child should be able to hold her neck steady when sitting with support and should draw in her lower lip when a spoon is removed from her mouth.
There has been controversy about when to expose babies to cereal grains, which are typically the first foods that babies eat after breast-feeding.
Some specialists recommend cereal grains be introduced after six months of age, while others advise that they be given between four and six months.
Study findings
Food allergies are becoming more common among U.S. children, affecting an estimated 3 percent to 6 percent of all children. Wheat allergies are among the top five allergies, which also include egg, milk, soy and peanut allergies.
The new study revealed that children who were first exposed to cereals (wheat, barley, rye and oats) after six months were nearly four times more likely to have developed an allergy than those who first ate cereals earlier.
The risk of wheat allergy also went up by 1.6 times if the child was exposed to rice cereal after six months of age and by nearly four times if a parent or sibling had asthma, eczema, or hives, the researchers found.
Spears is not surprised by the findings. "The best indicator that a child might develop a food allergy is a history of eczema, asthma or family history of these conditions," Spears said.
The study confirms the advice of the American Academy of Pediatrics, which recommends parents introduce cereal grains between four and six months of age.

Adele 's been pretty stingy with her Twitter postings this year: after two tweets in February and a few posts in March, she skipped April entirely, and then managed two more in May. But she returned to Twitter earlier this week for an unusual reason: to rave about magician David Blaine .
Adele was in New York City late last week to attend a charity event at which the head of her record label was being honored. She evidently stuck around Manhattan for a few more days, though, because she tweeted , "Just randomly met @davidblaine and he did some magic for us. Never seen anything like it! Blew my mind!"
She also posted a blurry photo of herself with little makeup, sitting in what looks like a cafe with Blaine, with a deck of cards on the table in front of them.
Blaine re-tweeted Adele's message, adding the comment, "love her." Further research on Twitter reveals that the photo was taken at Catch NY , a Manhattan seafood restaurant.
In other Adele news, the rumor mill has cranked up again with the news that she and her baby daddy, Simon Konecki , are planning a "secret wedding." Us Weekly reports that the couple will wed "in the summer or fall," at their home in England, and that Adele is "very involved" in the planning of the event. Of course, this has been reported multiple times before, so take it with a grain of salt.

Montana's ad agency's social media manager manages to offer a "F this job" post on the state's tourism Facebook page, as opposed to her personal one.
If we were to believe what suggested Yahoo searches say about the United States, there'd only be 48 instead of 50, or didn't you hear that Wyoming and North Dakota aren't real?
Screaming little tweens aren't the only ones buzzing about Disney's Hannah Montana's 3D concert film, which is fueling online ticket sales.

Possible update to the S-Series Walkman is spotted in the wild.
To pop the question, a guy in Montana traveled to 26 different countries and made an impressive lip-synched proposal video for his sweetie.
An aggravated mom questions Disney's motives for saying Hannah Montana's 3D concert film will be a one-week theater release, and then changing its tune.

There is never a good time to be diagnosed with breast cancer, but a particularly bad time is when you are very young, say under 35. It used to be believed that breast cancers in young women were more aggressive, and that theory has fortunately been discarded. The stance now is that stage for stage, the woman's age does not make much difference. Age does, however, make an enormous difference in the psychosocial issues related to the diagnosis and the treatment and the available supports.
The youngest woman whom I have ever known with breast cancer was diagnosed when she was 19. I have known a few others who were under 25, and quite a few who were between 25 and 35. A particularly painful issue often is fertility. Clearly, it is especially difficult if cancer is diagnosed during pregnancy (although all the research suggests that women in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters can be given chemo without hurting the baby), but is pretty terrible, too, if a woman has been planning or hoping for a pregnancy. It is certainly possible to have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby after breast cancer, but the experience of the disease and treatment will delay any such plans for a while--and with women often being in their 30s when they begin to consider pregnancy, the delay may mean that biological children are an impossibility.
Breast cancer is also especially difficult for young women who are still building their careers, perhaps making it more difficult to take time off from work or school. Finances may be more challenging, and their friends usually are less skilled at being present and supportive. That is not a value judgment, but reflects the reality that, blessedly, most women in their 20s or early 30s have not yet had to deal with very difficult life experiences, so they have less personal experience in how to cope or how to help. By the time you get to be 50 or so, no one has escaped troubles, so you are more able to know what to offer and how to be present.
This is a very good article from Coping; I give you an excerpt and then a link:
The Not-So-Silent Minority
More than 290,000 women will be told they have breast cancer in the U.S. in 2013.
While breast cancer in women under 40 is still relatively rare, comprising about 5
percent of all breast cancer cases, it still accounts for more than 13,000 newly
diagnosed young women each yeaThe challenge in treating and caring for these young patients is a relatively new topic, one that has evolved over the past decade. Later this month, the Young Survival Coalition (YSC) will co-host its 13th annual gathering for young women
diagnosed with breast cancer with Living Beyond Breast Cancer. The organization
also has created a separate research think tank in Washington, D.C., to bring
together oncologists, professionals and advocates to discuss issues specific to
this population. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory
Committee on Breast Cancer in Young Women, which was established in 2010,
will publish some of its first study findings within the next two years.
Whether the result of this new focus is a publication, a conference or
peer-to-peer support, those involved share common goals: focused research and
support for young women dealing with age-specific short- and long-term
consequences of breast cancer treatment.

As a beginner, if you are looking for an easy and nicely paid job opportunity – career in a call center is the best bet. You must have heard a lot about call centers too; perhaps many of your friends are already working in them too. But do you know what call centers really are? How do they operate? What are the various services that they are offering to countries across the globe? This article will help you understand some of the facts that you must know before joining a call center.
"All my friends talk about call centers, but I don't know what they really are."
Picture this: It is 10:00 am in California, i.e., 10:30 pm in India when over 300,000 Indian professionals are answering customer calls or processing transactions for overseas clients – these are typical call centers in India.
Simply put: a call center is a centralized office where a large number of customer requests are handled over the phone. The calls may be inbound, i.e., you only receive the calls; or they may be outbound, where you make the calls for survey, telemarketing, follow-up, and support, etc.
"Which call center should I join and what type of remuneration can I expect?"
The major business processes that call centers in India are serving include customer care, technical support, HRM, finance and accounting, health care, administration, etc. For better career growth, you must pick the one that suits your educational qualifications and interests the best.
The starting salary can range from Rs.8,000 to Rs.12,000 per month, as per your skills and technicalities of the job. Most call centers have a variable performance-based component in the salary too. As you grow and become a team leader or manager you may get anything between Rs.18,000 to Rs.25,000 or more.
"What would be my role as a beginner in a call center?"
As a beginner, you will be hired as a "call center agent" to handle inbound or outbound calls. These calls may be of technical or non-technical nature based on your expertise. You will be given a workstation, a computer, and telephone equipment for this purpose. Most call centers in India provide extensive training on the product or service, call handling, language, and accent too.
All the calls are monitored in a call center to grade the amount and quality of work done by an agent. Most call centers have monetary benefits attached to parameters such as average call time, login-logout times, maximum time on call, leads generated, and many other factors related to the project. As you start working, you will catch-up fast on all these processes.
"I have heard that call centers have endless floors with thousands of people on call, all through the night – is it not difficult to work in such an environment?"
Target oriented work environment, challenges, and odd timings might make some people feel that way. But the fact is that working in a call center gives you a great deal of exposure in terms of:
- Client interaction on a global level
- Handling difficult situations
- Getting in-depth product or service knowledge
- Negotiation and convincing capabilities
All these help you in becoming an experienced person with varied skills and make it easy for you to move up in the role you aim for.
"Is there enough scope of growth in a call center career in India?"
According to NASSCOM the Indian ITES-BPO segment grew at 37% in 2005-06. This growth is attributable to the large talented pool of young and highly skilled English-speaking workers, time-zone advantage, and low cost. If India continues to offer these advantages, the growth is inevitable. You can be a part of that growth too.

South African Apartheid Film An Audience Winner
Dubai audiences filled the theatre at the Madinat Arena for the Gala Screening of Skin, a South African film from DIFF's iconic Cultural Bridge programming segment, which is dedicated to exploring cinema as a tool for intercultural communication and understanding.
Director Anthony Fabian and well-known South African actress Alice Krige attended, along with Sandra Laing, whose life story is the basis of the film.
Sandra was born to 'white' parents in apartheid South Africa, but classified as 'black' by the authorities. The decision tore Sandra's family apart and affected the entire course of her development as she and her family fought against the apartheid system.
Skin will screen once more at DIFF 2008, at the Grand Cinema in Festival City at 20:45 on December 18.

Back to School Brings Success for Retailers
Stephanie is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The smoke from July 4th has barely cleared and already commercials are letting us know it's back to school season. With many schools starting in early to mid-August, retailers are gearing up for the late-July rush that comes as students stock up on electronics, supplies, and clothing.
Stocking up on pencils
The first places most parents hit, school supply list in hand, are department stores like Wal-Mart and Target (NYSE: TGT). This year the company is going after college students, launching a campaign featuring YouTube personalities touring dorm rooms that have been decorated using Target products. It might be a wise idea. Research shows college-related spending increased 41% between 2011 and 2013, with parents of college students increasing their spending 12% from 2011 to 2012.
The latest quarter was rough for Target, with earnings down 29%. The company also lowered its forecast for the upcoming quarter, blaming weak sales in its Canadian market and unseasonal weather conditions. And the company recently reduced its outlook for the year, adjusting earnings from $4.85-$5.05 per share to $4.70-$4.90 per share.
Apparel sales
American Eagle Outfitters (NYSE: AEO) stock peaked last September, just after families hit stores to stock up on shirts and pants. With many schools now implementing uniforms, parents are looking for items like khaki pants and plain button down shirts--items in which American Eagle specializes.
Last year, it peaked in its back-to-school months, (so if that performance is any indication), this upcoming quarter should be a good one. Currently, American Eagle is 17% below that peak, but it's extremely popular with teens and college students, making back-to-school time a big deal for the company.
Unfortunately, its net sales dropped 4.1%, with sales at its stores falling 6% in its most recent quarter. The company's aerie stores, which carry lingerie and other intimates, were up 4%. Company earnings overall are down 34% from its 2008 peak but revenue is up 15%. As the economy begins to recover, it may be able to make its way to 2008 levels, with parents and teens once again filling bare closets with more than school uniforms.
Electronics for campus
Laptops aren't just for college classrooms anymore. As high schools receive an injection of technology, Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) is beefing up its mobile offerings to appeal to younger consumers. To reach out to younger shoppers, Best Buy has already put in place its "Back to School Techfitter," allowing students to choose their identity and see products that match.
Same-store-sales were down 1.3% in its most-recent quarter as the company shifted attention toward its Best Buy Mobile locations. But back-to-schoolers will likely be primarily visiting traditional Best Buy locations, where they'll be able to shop for laptops, printers, tablets, and accessories.
It should be noted, however, that Best Buy's stock is up 115% this year, giving the retailer a sunny outlook for the remainder of 2013. It also means the market is viewing it as being more than just a showroom for Amazon. As college students outfit dorm rooms with TVs, DVD players, and other electronics, Best Buy could see an even more profitable quarter.
Foolish final thoughts
Best Buy has asked investors to have patience, since 2013 is its "transition year." American Eagle Outfitters and Target, meanwhile, are both hoping for an improvement that can be brought only with an influx of parents and their children, stocking up for the first day of school. If recent trends hold, both should enjoy a very profitable back to school season.
Who Rules Retail?
The retail space is in the midst of the biggest paradigm shift since mail order took off at the turn of last century. Only those most forward-looking and capable companies will survive, and they'll handsomely reward those investors who understand the landscape.

Saturday November 15, 2014 MCW returns to Delaware for the first time in almost a decade as we host an event on The Delaware State Fairgrounds at the Exhibit Hall 18500 South DuPont Highway Harrington, DE 19952
MCW Championship Contenders
Top 5 Seedings
MCW Champion: Matt Hardy
After a surprise win in Waldorf, MD on May 3rd, Matt Hardy has made good on his word to be a fighting champion with wins over the King of Maryland Wrestling Ryan McBride at Friday Night Fights and a historic Tables, Ladders and Chairs match over Luke Hawx at the 2014 Shamrock Cup. Let's take a look at the top 5 seeds in the race for MCW Gold.
1. Christian York
The former 2 time champion who has held the belt for a record setting 858 days earned the number 1 seed by pinning Drolix in the 6 man tag team match at MCW Inferno in August. This gives York the next crack at the championship facing Matt Hardy at Waldorf Warfare on Friday night October 3rd at the Unique Sports Academy.
2. Drolix
The unquestioned leader of Black Wallstreet is the 2014 Shane Shamrock Cup winner. He also holds the distinction of winning and losing the MCW Heavyweight Championship on the same night last May. The only member of Black Wallstreet currently not wearing championship gold. He will have to wait his turn but will have his opportunity on Saturday October 4th at the MCW Arena in Joppa, MD as he will face the winner of the Matt Hardy/Christian York title match the evening before in Waldorf.
3. Luke Hawx
The only top 5 contender who has never won the MCW Championship but he was the 2013 Shamrock Cup winner and is probably the hungriest of those in the hunt. The former #1 contender has already taken the champ to the limit in a match for the ages narrowly being edged out by Matt Hardy in the TLC Match in July.
4. Ryan McBride
Another contender who came within seconds of defeating Matt Hardy. This former 2 time champion is as talented as anyone in the sport and has the resume to back that up. "The King of Maryland Wrestling" might even be deserving of the #1 seed but lately has had delusions of grandeur and seems more intent on insulting the fans and his opponents rather than becoming the champion. A big victory over Shane Strickland at MCW Inferno keeps the King of Maryland Wrestling solidly in the title hunt.
5. Bruiser
The most decorated wrestler in MCW History. The 5 time Heavyweight Champion returned after a lengthy absence in the best condition of his career. Victories over Black Wallstreet members Drolix and MCW Rage Champion Chuck Lennox solidify his spot in the top 5.
Friday October 3rd in Waldorf and Saturday October the 4th at the MCW Arena in Joppa, MD will have huge championship implications. Fans can also meet the legendary Bret "The Hitman" Hart, Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, Diamond Dallas Page and MCW Heavyweight Champion Matt Hardy. Tickets are available at www.MarylandWrestling.com and
MCW would like to congratulate Jessie Kaye, winner of the Reid Flair scholarship, presented at the Mid Atlantic Fanfest in Charlotte, NC! The award was presented by legendary wrestler Dr. Tom Pritchard. Pritchard, Les Thatcher, Lance Storm and Nigel McGuinness had a camp of 50 athletes who put their heard and sould into their worl and training this past weekend. He said that they picked Jessie Kaye as the winner of the scholarship to help her further her career.

I have always been anti-denim-on-denim but since I've been going overboard with denim lately—I guess it's worth the risk! With the right pieces and the right styling, it'll be so easy to pull off! Plus, you won't look like a Canadian cowboy! Since the jacket and pants are of the same shade (which can be a little overpowering), I decided to break that by bleaching half of the jean jacket. Paired it with a printed button down to make it more interesting.
What I'm wearing: DIY denim jacket (Topman), floral button down (Flying Dutchman), leather bracelet (SM Accessories), watch (TechnoMarine), jeans (Levi's), boots (Dr. Martens). Hype this on lookbook here.

DIY Ombre Denim Jacket: Put the half of your denim jacket in a bucket of bleach for an hour or two, depending on how light you want your jacket.

Has Baidu Become a Quiet Sleeper?
Douglas is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Despite its massive market share dominance and continued revenue growth, Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU) has languished this year, down nearly 11% on a year-to-date basis as of this writing. While some of the weak performance can be attributed to a series of downgrades on the stock, another part derives from the surging competition from new market entrant Qihoo 360 Technology (NYSE: QIHU). These factors have created a backdrop which seems to have lulled investors away from the stock. The result is that Baidu has become an under-appreciated gem that you should take advantage of at current levels.
Analyst Activity
In October alone, Baidu has been the subject of several analyst downgrades followed by a single upgrade. First Jefferies downgraded the stock to a hold, citing, amongst other things, concern over increased competition from Qihoo. The next day, Raymond James dropped its rating on the stock, although the decrease left their rating at Outperform. Lastly, Credit Suisse joined the party by dropping its rating to underperform, again on concerns over increased competition.
Finally reversing the above trend, Macquarie upgraded the stock to Outperform, stating that it believes the market share losses will ultimately be smaller than expected and that margin compression will be gradual. Their price target of $160 is just above the stock's current 52-week high and is very near its all-time high. A return to this level would represent a very healthy return from current levels.
A Look at the Competition
As stated above, Qihoo is Baidu's main competitor in the Chinese search market. Having been released just a few months ago, the company has already snatched as much as 10% of the market, taking primarily from Baidu; prior to the release of Qihoo, Baidu was believed to control roughly 85% of the search market. The new entrant has made its presence felt in a significant way and continues to grow.
Baidu has enjoyed nearly exclusive control to the Chinese market ever since Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) completely pulled out of China over censorship concerns. For those who do not remember, the U.S. search giant was asked to cooperate with the Chinese government on a variety of topics inconsistent with its normal practices. As a result, Google left what has become the single largest Internet market on the globe.
Given Google's exit and Baidu's nearly exclusive control, it is not surprising that the arrival of an alternative has had an immediate impact on the division of market share. This is no different from the progression that took place in the U.S. While many search engines popped up and quickly gained market share, most faded just as quickly. A few months after the release of the first competitor Baidu has seen in some time, it is far too soon to consider Qihoo a "Baidu-killer." Furthermore, with the sheer size and growth of the Chinese market, there is still plenty of room for both companies to grow rapidly.
The Trade
While Baidu's stock has not been a big performer thus far this year, it continues to possess very attractive upside potential. As the Chinese economy begins to stabilize and return to a state of significant growth, even with the emergence of a legitimate competitor, the company is in the proverbial driver's seat with regard to a critical technology. As much as you may want to root for the young upstart – we Americans love an underdog – Baidu is as critical within the Chinese economy as Google is in the U.S. The lagging performance this year should, as such, be seen as an opportunity to establish a position at an attractive level.

Regardless of your short-term view on the Chinese economy, there may be opportunity in Baidu (aka the "Chinese Google"). The Fool's brand new premium report breaks down the dominant Chinese search provider's strengths and weaknesses. Just click here to access it now.

Narrow your search
Canonical is considering releasing Launchpad under the AGPL open-source license. This would be a very big win for the AGPL.
Google gets a free ride when it comes to open source. The AGPL would change this, which makes Google's rejection of AGPL-licensed code from its Google Code site so infuriating.
I used to insist the AGPL was critical, but based on the market's response, I think I was wrong.
An open-source Twitter might create a true communication utility.
One of open source's biggest failings has been to extend its relevance into the Software as a Service world. The OSI has finally corrected this with the approval of the Affero GPL.
Google wants to host open-source projects, but only ones that use its hand-selected list of licenses. Is it the new arbiter of what is open source? I thought that was the OSI's role...?
There is an ongoing shift toward open-source licenses that are more permissive, reflecting an increased emphasis on building communities rather than protecting against free-riders.
Mark Radcliffe provides the "Cliff Notes" version of GPLv3, and highlights some of the problems with the license in the process.
Google is shaking up the Microsoft market by beating it at its own game, as Nick Carr points out.
GPLv3 is making steady inroads into the open-source license market. World domination is just around the corner.

Safety and security were the main focuses of the South Bend Community School Corporation meeting Wednesday.
The safety and security committee discussed things that have happened in the past and what they need to address in the future concerning school safety.
When asked about recent threats, officials say there were policies and procedures in place already to ensure the safety of area students.
"One of the outcomes of this committee that we sit on is making sure that policies and procedures are updated when it comes to school safety and make sure they get implemented," says SBCSC Security Director, Eric Crittendon.
Crittendon also says there are a lot of ideas to improve security, but they have to be realistic and affordable.

-- Robert Preidt
FRIDAY, Aug. 6 (HealthDay News) -- With football season about to
begin, it's time to remind players, parents and coaches how to
prevent head and spinal cord injuries, says the American
Association of Neurological Surgeons.
"The annual incidence of football-related concussion in the United States is estimated at 300,000, and nearly 45,000 football-related head injuries were serious enough to be treated at U.S. hospital emergency rooms in 2009," Dr. Gail Rosseau, a Chicago-area neurosurgeon, said in an AANS news release.
"While football is a collision sport with inevitable risks, most serious neurological injuries can be prevented if players, parents and coaches take injury prevention and concussions seriously," Dr. Mitchel S. Berger, AANS vice president and a member of the NFL Head, Neck and Spine Medical Committee, said in the news release.
"Football players who have sustained a concussion need to be withheld from play until all physical and neuropsychological symptoms and signs related to that concussion have resolved and they are cleared to return to play through an independent healthcare professional," he added.
The AANS offers the following tips to prevent head and neck
injuries in football players:
