The Southwestern womens golf team one-upped itself at the 2008 NCAA Division National Championship, placing third in the country after a fourth-place finish in 2007.
Sophomore Kristen Davenport was the Pirates top-finisher, tying for 19th overall with a 314 (76-84-77-77). Two strokes behind Davenport was junior Marisa Mauldin who fired a 316 (76-78-81-81) to tie for 21st. Next for SU was Delilah Dominguez, a junior, in a 27th-place tie with a four-round tally of 319 (79-82-79-79). Sophomore Cody Wallace finished tied for 37th with a final total of 323 (87-76-76-84). Victoria Dominguez, a first-year, tied for 80th with a 336 (78-84-81-94).
As a team, the Pirates shot a 1263 (309-320-313-321), finished five strokes behind second place DePauw University and 44 strokes behind champion Methodist University.
Chris Norris
Southwestern piled up the honors in the spring sports for 2008 with All-American and All-Region selections. Three womens golf team members received All-American honors as Marisa Mauldin was named First Team, Kristen Davenport Second Team and Delilah Dominguez Third Team. Mauldin and Davenport also earned All-Region honors. Head coach Dan Ruyle was selected as the Region Coach of the Year. Also, Mauldin was named SCAC Golfer of the Year for the second consecutive year and Davenport was a First Team ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District selection.
Senior Chris Norris became the first Southwestern track & field athlete to earn SCAC Track & Field Athlete of the Year honors as he won three individual conference championships (100 meters, 200 meters, long jump) and two relay championships (4x100 meter relay, 4x400 meter relay). Baseball player Richard Falcone was a Third Team All-West Region honoree for the Pirates for his senior season.
1981 volleyball team
On April 12, the Southwestern Athletic Department held its Hall of Fame and Hall of Honor Induction ceremony for three new Hall of Fame members, the first team ever inducted in to the Athletic Hall of Fame and three new Hall of Honor members.
The Hall of Fame inductees include Dwight L. Haley 64, a former baseball player and track & field runner. Kimberly Long Harmer 92, a three-time All-American volleyball player. Marvin D. Henderson, Sr. 41, a tennis player at SU and since 1981 has held 36 USTA National Rankings. The first team inducted in to the Hall of Fame was the 1981 volleyball team that posted a 45-11 record and finished second in the nation at the NAIA National Championship. New Hall of Honor members were former mens basketball player Aaron Bowser 06 and former mens golfers Christopher Paiz 07 and Matthew Espinosa 06.

ART OLYMPIAN: Visser has pioneered the use of rapid-prototyping in creating sculptural forms.
Flabbergasted, completely surprisedI never dreamed of it, were the only things Marvin Henderson 41 had to say after witnessing the unveiling of the banner naming the Southwestern tennis courts after him. He simply couldnt believe that his son, Marvin Jr., would give him such recognition through a major gift to Southwestern. I knew about getting into the Athletics Hall of Fame, but this was just an added surprise, he says.
The love of tennis runs deep in Hendersons family: his wife, Ouida Waddell Henderson 49, is Marvin Sr.s biggest fan, and both of their children, Marvin Jr. and Joyce Ann, are accomplished players.
Henderson began his tennis career at Georgetown High School and continued playing while he attended Southwestern. He was a four-year member of Southwesterns varsity tennis team, lettering his last two years. At that time, tennis at Southwestern wasnt the top-notch program in place now: practice was irregular and the University couldnt afford to furnish equipment. Henderson took it upon himself to help get everyone together for tournaments and competitions.
After graduating from Southwestern, Henderson joined the U.S. Navy and served during WWII and the Korean War. After his service in the military, he returned home to Georgetown, joined the reserves and held jobs in the life insurance business and with Texaco, where his father had worked.
After he retired, Henderson refocused his energies on competitive tennis. On the Texas Tennis Circuit, he has held 36 state rankings, including 12 rankings at #1 and 10 at #2. Since 1981, Henderson has earned more than 36 USTA National Rankings, including four rankings at #2 in the nation for his age group. He has won at least five Gold Balls (USTA National Champion) and at least 12 Silver Balls (USTA Runner-Up). Most recently, Henderson won the 2008 Vancouver National Indoor Championship.
Playing extensively on the USTA Senior Tour, Henderson has racked up as many awards as memories, which include competing against tennis legends such as Bobby Riggs and Bob Sherman.
Bob makes you feel like you are a good player, up until he beats you, Henderson says. But while some might consider the two rivals, they are in fact good friends because they see each other so much on the USTA Senior Tour. Thats what makes the Tour special, because you play against all the same people so much that you grow to become friends. It feels more like a family than anything else, Henderson says.
Although Henderson has been successful throughout much of his tennis career, he says he really didnt come alive and break loose until he hit 85. He always tells his competitors, friends and family, I was just a late bloomer.
Since playing for the Pirates, Henderson has truly served as an ambassador for the ideals of intercollegiate athletics and the high standards of Southwestern. In April, he was inducted into Southwesterns Athletics Hall of Fame.
You can find Henderson playing on the Southwestern tennis courts every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning at dawn with his buddy Joe Montgomery, and occasionally with his friend Reggie Smith on Thursday and Saturday afternoons. He attributes much of his success to these practices with friends and family. Practice is what does it, as well as playing in tournaments, he says. And Henderson doesnt plan to slow down any time soon. Im going to keep playing tennis and tournaments for as long as I can, he says.

Why your overdraft protection is costing you
A new federal study shows how banks pile charges onto their customers, and offers ideas on how to avoid those charges.
A report released today by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau shows that those consumers who've opted to have overdraft protection pay significantly more money to their banks than those who don't.
But that doesn't mean it has to stay that way. For one thing, not every financial institution operates in the same way. And those who have faced overdraft and over-limit charges can make some adjustments to avoid the costs -- including opting out of overdraft protection.
"Consumers need to be able to anticipate and avoid unnecessary fees on their checking accounts. But we are concerned that overdraft programs at some banks may be increasing consumer costs," CFPB Director Richard Cordray said. "What is often marketed as overdraft protection may actually be putting consumers at greater risk of harm."
Consumers who write a check or spend more than is available in their account at the time face a charge for an overdraft because the bank essentially covered them, providing what amounts to a short-term loan. A bank can also return a check or payment when the money isn't available and assess a fee for insufficient funds.
Fees for overdraft and insufficient funds have become a significant source of revenue for financial institutions -- accounting for "60% or more of consumer checking account fee income," the CFPB found.
Bank and credit union customers were given the choice starting in 2010 of whether they wanted opt-in to overdraft protection. The main difference for most consumers on a day-to-day basis (in addition to the fees) is that those who don't have overdraft protection could have a debit card transaction rejected at the register. Someone with overdraft protection could ring up transactions even though their account couldn't cover them and be hit with multiple fees -- which at times could end up being more costly than what they bought.
Most consumers did not opt in, although at some banks a significant number did. Some financial institutions reported more than 40% of new customers chose to opt-in in 2011, the CFPB said. The agency found that when those consumers who were regularly getting assessed the fees opted out halfway through the year they saved on average $450 over the rest of the year.
The average consumer who is assessed overdraft charges pays $225 over the course of a year, the report said. The median overdraft charge at the biggest banks is $34.
And, the CFPB said, those who opt in are at greater risk of having their accounts closed by their financial institution.
To further complicate matters, fees and policies on overdraft vary widely from bank to bank -- including the order in which they post transactions. Some banks, for instance, will post the biggest dollar amount item first -- causing multiple transactions behind it to be considered overdrafts. Had their smaller transactions processed first, it could have resulted in only the single, large transaction being an overdraft and thereby resulting in one charge rather than multiple charges. Some institutions will charge a fee for any transaction that results in an overdraft while others limit the number of charges and the dollar amount that result in such fees being assessed.
The Pew Charitable Trusts has been advocating for consumers to have better understanding of these fees through simpler bank disclosure forms. They have been making some headway, getting several major banks to adopt their model form.
And Consumers Union, along with a collection of other consumer groups, want to see the CFPB provide greater protection to those consumers who do choose to have overdraft protection. Among the changes they want to imposed:
- Easy-to-understand explanations of checking account fees and policies,
- Limiting fees to what would be "reasonable and proportional to the financial institution's costs."
- Capping how many overdraft charges can be assessed in a day or a year,
- Stopping financial institutions from altering the order of transactions so they can collect the most fees.
"Regulatory policy and oversight should not impede a bank's ability to offer a variety of overdraft payment services to meet their customers' financial needs," the group said. "Consumers must retain the ability to access overdraft services that best fit their unique financial needs and avoid being locked into an ill-fitting 'one size fits all' overdraft program."

Additionally -and contrary to many poorly-researched articles- I have many more free ATM's than I did with my bank: 70,000+ nationwide including those in every 7-11, Target, and Costco. I have NO debit card swipe fees. I get 0.6% savings, 0.1% checking, and 1.5% CD interest. I'm required to either have $1000 in all accounts OR have my pay, pension, or Social Security check automatically deposited to get such treatment. I pay absolutely NO nickel-and-dime fees like Internet use or automatic payment use, etc.
Finally let me add three things:
1) Most credit unions will accept virtually anyone as a member even if it has a name like State Employees Credit Union (SECU). I was never a State Employee, but I qualified both by being related to someone with a SECU account and being a graduate of a Maryland public 2 or 4 year college.
2) Credit Unions are federally insured to the same extent banks are.
3) You're generally throwing your money away in a bank.
How about just being responsible and not spending what you don't have? How is this the banks fault?
Also, there is a difference between overdraft PROTECTION and overdraft COVERAGE. Coverage should be the terminology used in this article. Overdraft protection is when your account is linked to another type of account that it would pull from if you spent more than you have. With all the different ways to keep any eye on your account nowadays, ( i.e. mobile banking, internet etc.) including the most old fashioned, yet fool-proof, checkbook register, there is no excuse to overdraw your account. If you do it on purpose, you should be penalized. Is there no idea of responsibility in this world anymore???

Comments about Green Bay Packers Vital Win Pullover Hoodie - Green:
I bought this for my son who is a Packer Fan as he went to school in WI. It is lighter than it appears in the photo and not close to the dark green, more like medium green. The pouch was sewed on unevenly, noticeable to me. My son is not picky and liked it, he also wore it working on his car. I would of returned it if I bought it for myself and spent more on a Nike product that may be more worth the money. This product is not worth the money, more like $30.00, looks much better in the photo than in real life. If you want something to wear working around the house is it fine but for looks and going out, spend more money on something better like Nike.

Chapter Two2 Reviews
The crap hits the fan...
Kendall picked the little boy up and tickled him as Naiya and Pete headed into the kitchen.
"Patrick, I've been thinking, and I don't think we spend enough time together," Leah said, sitting down at the table across from him.
"What do you mean?" he asked, looking up from his paper.
"I just think you spend too much time with your band and not enough time with me," she said simply.
"I'm not going to just drop work, Lee," he said sternly.
"Well maybe you ought to back up the tour a bit."
"Leah, didn't you just hear me? I'm not gonna back anything up."
"Maybe you don't realize, I'm your /girlfriend/. Aren't I important?"
"Yes you're important, but my music-"
"-I'm tired of always being second best to your fucking music! And not to mention that kid of yours!"
Patrick felt his jaw drop,"You leave her out of this!" he shouted as Pete and Naiya walked into the room.
Pete furrowed his brow in confusion as he saw Patrick standing at the table, anger plain across his complexion,"Bad time?" he said.
"Kinda!" Leah interjected rudely.
"Just go wait in the living room," Patrick sighed, rubbing his temples.
Naiya nodded confusedly, but followed Pete out of the room nonetheless.
Leah stood up,"No! You know what? I'm sick and tired of you never being home, always out on tour with your loser friends, and then you get home and it's like I don't exist! You pay more attention to that little brat than you do to me! And I'll tell you one thing, it's either me or them. You leave tomorrow and I won't be here when you get back. So what's it gonna be?" She seethed.
Patrick looked down at his hands, thinking.
He glanced back up at her with a smirk,"Them," he said simply.
Leah looked at him in shock,"Excuse me?"
"T-H-E-M" he spelled,"Get me?"
Leah rolled her eyes and mumbled under her breath, storming off towards their bedroom.
Patrick tugged his hat back down onto his head and headed into the living room where Kendall sat on the floor next to Petey, and Naiya and Pete sat on the couch.
"Dude, what the hell was going on?" Pete asked, standing up.
"She was being a total bitch. She wants us to postpone the tour," Patrick replied.
Petey looked up at his father,"Daddy, what's a bitch?" he asked innocently as Kendall snickered and Naiya eyed him in disbelief.
"A country," Pete smirked without missing a beat,"Why did she want you to postpone?" he asked, turning back to Patrick.
"She said she's sick of being second best to my music and you guys," Patrick gestured to Pete, then to Kendall.
"So what did you do?" Naiya asked.
"I told her no. Then she tried to make me choose between you guys and her. She said if I went on tour that she wouldn't be here when we got back."
"You don't think she meant it do you?" Kendall asked hopefully.
"I really don't know."

I am working on a ticketing system and need to pull the same field from a table twice. In my ticket table there is a field that links to the creator's contact ID as well as the assigned person's contact ID. Basically, both of these link to the ID field in the contact table. Doing this connection is not the problem. I need to pull out <contact table>.name twice, once for each ID (creator, assigned). MySQL is pulling only one of the names, and is simply displaying it twice. A sample of what I have so far is below:Code:
SELECT B.name, B.name AS assignee
FROM ticket A, contacts B
LEFT JOIN B ON A.assigned_id=B.id
WHERE A.creator_id=B.id

Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom Family Drama
There seems to be trouble in paradise for Khloe and Lamar Odom, and there has been for a while. According to the Daily News:
LAMAR ODOM isn't missing — he's in a Los Angeles hotel room with friends who are trying to help him to kick drugs, his agent said Monday.
"His wife knows exactly where he is," Jeff Schwartz, the agent for the Queens-born hoops star, told ESPN.com.
Quoting unnamed sources, TMZ.com reported Sunday that Odom, 33, went missing after a fight with his wife, reality TV star Khloé Kardashian."
The report provoked an angry response from Kardashian, 29, who took to Twitter Sunday to blast rumors about her husband of four years.
"Really hard to sit here and listen to people talk s—- about my family," Kardashian tweeted. "
Rumor is Lamar has been battling an addiction for a while and has also been rumored of cheating on Khloe. However, Khloe is sticking by her husband and wants to see him better more than anything.

You can't run a business if you don't know what the heck your customers want. Getting that intel is called "customer insight," which is pretty much as its name suggests: insight into your customers. But getting it isn't exactly so easy. The Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce is holding an event on this very topic that's winding down now, but it's not exactly something you want to rush to sink your teeth into anyhow. What's coming up a bit further way and is sure to be a bit more exhaustive -- in a good way -- in terms of its scope is Customer Insight Week, taking place at the McCormick Place Convention Center from September 26 to 28. That means there's plenty of time to still qualify for early-bird registration and also wrap your mind around what sort of insights you want to get.
Plus, there are a whole heck of a lot more speakers at this event than at the CCC's. From McDonald's Heather Oldani (director of U.S. communications) and Lobster Gram's Dan Zawacki (founder and president) to University of Illinois at Chicago's Eugene Fregetto (clinical associate professor of marketing) and the Tribune Media Group's Kathleen O'Hara (VP marketing).
It costs a gorgeous penny to attend -- $1,599 to attend or $1,999 as a vendor -- but the entrance fee will go up considerably by August 26. So, give it a look and mull it over.

Science and Technology Taster Day 2011
Story supplied by LU Press Office
More than 250 pupils from across Lancashire and Cumbria came to Lancaster University on July 1 to find out more about studying Science and Technology subjects at a top ten UK university.
The pupils from schools and colleges across the region were given taster sessions in Lancaster University's highly-rated faculty of Science and Technology where they met researchers and teaching staff working in fields from mobile phone development to particle physics.
They also met current Lancaster students and found out about the day-to-day reality of student life covering everything from student finance to where to do your washing.
Highlights included:
- A modern day 'who done it' in Biological Sciences introduced pupils to the basics of DNA analysis taken from a crime scene.
- An insight into the future of mobile phone applications in the School of Computing and Communications.
- A hands-on exploration of volcanic rock in Environmental Science.
- Lectures looking at the Maths behind Computer games and the statistical probability of getting rich quick.
- An introduction to the real-world applications of the science of Psychology. Students played the role of psychologist in a criminal case, experienced how the mind is tricked by illusions of vision, audition, and attention, and learned about social behaviour.
- An interactive Engineering session looking at how much energy you use from getting up in the morning, and drying your hair through to relaxing and watching TV.
- Lectures and demonstrations in Lancaster's Physics department - rated number one for research in the UK.
This was the seventh Science and Technology taster day at Lancaster, which are intended to encourage pupils to consider studying STEM and related subjects.
Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies Dr Jane Taylor said: "Our annual taster day aims to give year-twelve students a real feel of what it's like to study science and technology subjects at university. As well as the departmental workshops, there's the opportunity to talk to our lecturers first-hand and to talk to students about university life.
"Our departments have done really well in the recently published Times and Guardian 2012 league tables with many listed as being in the top 10 in the country for student experience.
"We hope this event will support and inform the important decisions these students will be making about going to university in 2012."
Schools taking part were: Oldham Sixth Form; Tarporley High School; Appleby Grammar; Holy Cross College; Blackpool Sixth Form; Runshaw College; Parrswood College; Ripley St Thomas; King George V College; Lytham St Annes; Morecambe High School; Cardinal Newman College.

The future of ebooks looks like this. The Cleverest iPad Book Yet - Alice ipad app - Gizmodo http://bit.ly/cBNTcX
The international School librarians in Tokyo are organizing a one day mini conference about the future of the printed book (bleak) and the way libraries will adapt to the new realities this brings. Two guest speakers from Australia, Sherman Young and Kevin Hennah will present. If you are interested in joining us, please do. All info at http://libsjapan.wikispaces.com/Professional+Development
A hilarious comic that predicts exactly what will happen to ebooks if publishers and distributors can't work out a reasonable way for people to purchase ebooks, and for libraries to circulate them. Go to the original site for a good view. It's worth it.
eBooks are on the rise, which is great. As many librarians around the world, I am thrilled about the many new developments and trying to work out how to make ebooks available to my patrons. That's turning out to be a bit harder than I expected. Here are the main hurdles I am encountering
Where to buy? Part 1 What's on offer?
There are many different places where ebooks are available but no real centralized locations as of now. Some have (Amazon) or promise to have (Apple's iBooks store, Blio, Sony) a huge selection but this is a battle being fought as we speak. An added issue for me as an elementary school librarian is that the selection of ebooks available for elementary age kids is very lacking.
Where to buy? Part 2 How to access content - the eReader wars.
As librarians we have no interest in any content that can only be read on a dedicated ebook reader. We can't expect every patron to have a Kindle and we certainly can't expect libraries to purchase a variety of different eReaders to make available to their patrons. We need ebooks that are "open" and can be read on any device from phones to computers to dedicated ereaders.
How much to pay?
Buying ebooks is a bit like buying a carpet in a Turkish Bazaar. Sellers are trying to get what they can get away with. Follett sells an ebook version of Chris van Allsburgh`s Polar Express for 18.95USD whereas the actual hardcover is available for 16.10USD. This probably has more to do with Houghton Mifflin than Follett, but for me the effect is the same. Truth be told, I wonder if on the whole ebooks are sold for less or more than their print equivalents. With the costs of printing eradicated and of distributing and storing largely reduced, the price of ebooks should be a less. eBooks should provide an opportunity for books to become more democratic. 9.99USD is a number often heard. That feels expensive.
How to circulate?
Most library circulation software I am aware of will not circulate ebooks that were not purchased through the Library software company provider. Our library uses Follett's Destiny which is a great program BUT does not allow for any ebooks not purchased from Follett`s bookselling services to be circulated. This is a huge issue. It will be resolved either by Follett receiving so many complaints from its users that it will change its software to enable circulating other types of ebooks or by libraries adopting new software that will either replace or run alongside programs such as Destiny that will allow libraries to circulate.
Where are the books stored?
Follett's model of selling ebooks involves selling a library the right to access the ebook on a server Follett owns and controls. There is no download to one of our school servers involved. This seems odd to me. I believe our library, once we purchase the book, should have full control over it. What happens if Follett goes bust? We loose all our ebooks? I would feel better if the actual data are stored on my school computer.
Future compatability issues?
Is anyone thinking ahead as to whether ebooks will be readable on future releases of ereaders? Is there a risk that an ebook I buy today will be unreadable ten years from now because technology has upgraded? For sure annoying format upgrade incompatibilities are part of our lives, but if the eBook upgrade frequency will be anywhere near video/photo/audio format changes we have a problem.
Better ebooks and the world without print book libraries
New ebook technologies are being released at a breathtaking pace. This is good news. The Kindle was a nice little thing when it first came out but we shall soon look back on it as a quaint old thing. Yes, I am a librarian and yes I love printed books, but do I ever love ebooks as well. I am looking forward to the time when the ebook technology will be so much better than print books that the discussion over which one is better will be moot. Bring me a children's picture book that I can carry in my pocket that I can choose to either read myself, have read to me (in many possible languages), record myself reading it and having the book correct my pronunciation if necessary, throw in a pico projector that will allow to project it big plasma screen TV size on a wall or (why not) hologram it out in front of me, add the ability to carry multiple hundreds of such books in one small device, and I will think twice about spending my money on the print version of that same book.
Why should we care? Why do we need laws to protect libraries and readers?
All ebook publishers, distributors and hardware manufacturers have the end consumer in mind. Justifiably so, their first focus is on gaining market share and establishing format supremacy in a competition targeting financially potent single end users. However, many readers don't have the luxury to purchase (print or electronic) books and are dependent on libraries to help them access these expensive sources of entertainment and information. Currently major ebook industry players are developing ebooks in a way that, possibly unintentionally but also effectively, shuts out libraries from purchasing and making ebooks available to the wider public in an efficient and cost effective way. We need our lawmakers to make sure ebooks can be accessible to library patrons everywhere in just the same way the printed book was. Yes, we need pirate proof technology to make sure that the rights of the author, editor, publisher and distributor are honored and that all receive fair payment for their efforts. But if we ignore the many readers relying on libraries to bring books within their reach, I have no doubt the share of illegal ebook reading will be much bigger than it needs to be. Libraries are partners to authors, publishers, distributors and ebook hardware producers. As in any good partnership, there is a lot to be won if all partners understand and accommodate the others` needs.
Developers, get ready: Amazon has just announced the Kindle Development Kit for building active content for their world-famous e-book reader.
The KDK will include sample codes, interfaces and documentation for the Kindle. Developers can work on and preview their work in the Kindle Simulator (included with the KDK), which simulates either the Kindle or the Kindle DX on PC, Mac or Linux desktop computers. The app size limit is capped at 100 MB, and anything over 10 MB must be downloaded directly to a computer and then to the Kindle via USB.
When it comes time for selling programs in the Kindle Store, content can be priced in one of three ways: monthly subscription, a one-time purchase or (my personal favorite) free. And for those who do decide to charge, 70% of proceeds go to the developer, while the other 30% falls in the pocket of the online retail giant.
If you submit your e-mail address, you'll get an note as to when you can download it from Amazon, some time in February.

Amazon gives publishers a bigger royalty cut for Kindle; Apple Tablet defense?
The goal: Amazon is getting a jump on any looming Kindle threat from Apple and a bevy of other companies entering the e-reader race.
The company said that the 70 percent royalty option is in addition to the existing program for the Kindle Digital Text Platform (DTP). The latest royalty option will be available June 30.
For Amazon the royalty could solve a few issues. First, it can placate publishers and authors who are worried about their revenue stream in the age of e-books. There's a worry that Amazon could get too much clout and dictate pricing to publishers. In addition, it's hard not to notice the timing here. Amazon is rolling out a new royalty program exactly a week before Apple is set to unveil its expected tablet effort. Whether Apple's gadget is called the Apple Tablet, iTablet, iSlate or whatever it's going to be a threat to Amazon's Kindle.
Simply put, it makes a lot of sense for Amazon to throw authors and publishers a bone while the likes of Harper Collins, which the Wall Street Journal reported is talking to Apple, and others hang out with Steve Jobs & Co.
Also: All Apple Tablet coverage
Amazon outlined its latest deal for publishers this way:
Delivery costs will be based on file size and pricing will be $0.15/MB. At today's median DTP file size of 368KB, delivery costs would be less than $0.06 per unit sold. This new program can thus enable authors and publishers to make more money on every sale. For example, on an $8.99 book an author would make $3.15 with the standard option, and $6.25 with the new 70 percent option.
According to Amazon, authors get 7 percent to 15 percent of the list price for physical books and 25 percent of net for digital books. Obviously, the 70 percent royalty looks like a good deal, but there are a few catches.
The biggest issue is the author or publisher list price has to be between $2.99 to $9.99 and be 20 percent below the lowest physical book price. Meanwhile, the title needs to have the broad set of Kindle features such as text-to-speech.
In a nutshell, Amazon is dangling this royalty carrot to keep e-book prices down and make sure it can offer more features.
Needless to say, Apple may dangle its own royalty plan next week and rest assured its tablet gizmo will bring out a few new features.
Add it up and Amazon's royalty program is a mix of offense and defense. The Kindle has a huge bullseye on its back. At CES, there were a bevy of e-readers launched—perhaps too many—but Apple's tablet could be the big worry.

In a research note, Susquehanna Financial Group analyst Marianne Wolk wrote:
At CES 2010 we met with more than a dozen eBook retailers and OEMs. The market is expected to explode this year, with an estimated 10 million eReaders shipping in 2010 compared to <4 million shipped in 2009. While Amazon is currently the leader with ~40% global market share and ~1.6 mln Kindles shipped in 2009, these retailers with whom we met are looking to unseat the Kindle from its perch on top – or at least to gain a piece of the global market. We see the device market evolving in two directions: a mass market for mainstream readers and niche markets for education and business readers. We believe content availability will be a key driver determining the winners in the eBook market; while standards are emerging, DRM issues have not been solved entirely and publishers continue to look for ways to maintain pricing power in a digital media world. A wild card for the eReader device market is the rumored Apple tablet, as it may be a substitute for a separate eReader (although no details are currently available regarding the company's strategy for books).

A great overview of the current state of the market.
TBI Research claims Amazon currently sells 90% of all e-books - http://bit.ly/4Ivrdq
This is the issue for libraries
1. Amazon has 90% of the ebooks market
2. Amazon's DRM technology does not allow for library circulation

Nice analysis of the nature of most Twitter messages. Turns out most tweets are fluff.
Social networking fatigue is one of them
Turns out reading an actual book makes you smarter, as long as it is intelligent and has some complexity in structure and vocabulary. That means that my current read "The Dirt on Motley Crue" might not make it.
Apple's new iSlate is supposed to hit the stands in March 2010. I wonder whether the Mac boys will have an exciting contribution to make to how we read ebooks. Will the iSlate do for ebooks do what the iPod did for music?
Check out this article in the Australian
With the availability of Pico Projectors now I believe it is only a matter of time until someone integrates this with an ebook reading device that will give picture books a real run for the money. If the projected picture can be of equal quality and bigger than a picture book, with maybe the added options of having the book read to your child, have your child read along with it or record your child reading the book, that would make for a better product than just a traditional paper printed picture book. Right?

Umbrage lied down carefully on the firm sarswapagous. First Dirk held his hand but this is just so…RAuNCHY. DISGuSTING just how he likes it. Dirk lovingly laid his ass on uu's face, which was firm, yet had a little give. Pushing, the first traces of the distinctive whiff of fresh shit were detected by him. uu was immediately, and instinctively, turned on. "OOOOH YES. DIRK. THIS IS FuCKING GREAT. I DEMAND MORE WHIFFS OF YOUR FRESH. DELECTABLE. HuMAN POOP." Groaned out uu. Dirk smiled and whipped his hand up and down on his own hardening dick. "Uguu," He stated, intellectually. Green skin reddened as swirly cheeks became actual blushu, and a beetle penis hardened. "MORE DIRK HuMAN. MORE." He shuddered as the poop splatter all over his face and the characteristic noise of the fart causing it just turned him on so much. A butt began to rub diarrhea into his face, first slowly, but then faster and faster. And stronger. Dirk's hand quickened it's work on his dick, which was now leaking precum and so hard it was purple. His balls tightened and relaxed repeatedly and soon a large amount of cum began to splatter everywhere as he yelled "SUGOI!" into the heavens of the Yaoi Temple's sky. uu wasn't far behind. He licked some of the delectable poop on his face, and the flavors of so many foods long digested fell onto his tongue. With one last lick to Dirk's anus, uu came. And with that orgasm uu screeched so loudly that even Karkat would flinch at the noise.

The University has a stated mission that diversity is important to the Graduate School, but it hasn't done enough. Yale should:
- Provide more resources for the Office for Diversity and Equal Opportunity (ODEO), including a larger budget and more staff
- Fully disclose admission/retention statistics by department based on a report done by the ODEO
- Fully disclose faculty hiring criteria and retention statistics
In 2008, the GESO Equal Rights and Access Committee began an ambitious interview project to collect testimonies about the day to day experience of people of color, women, and immigrants living and working at Yale and around Yale. We interviewed over 100 graduate and professional students, staff members, undergraduates, and New Haven community members. Analysis and recommendations are forthcoming.
2006: A rally urging Yale to divest its holdings in Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), a private prison company with a history of human rights abuses. By the end of the year, the private hedge fund through which Yale was invested in CCA divested its entire holdings, over $90 million.
Spring 2005: GESO, along with graduate unions at Columbia University and University of Pennsylvania, releases The (Un)Changing Face of the Ivy League, which shows how "[t]he workforces of Ivy League universities are starkly stratified by race and gender. In 2006, after years of lobbying by GESO, Yale announced a multi-million dollar faculty diversity initiative and increased support for the Office of Diversity and Equal Opportunity.

You and I are on the same page. I also have been thinking of the very things you mentioned.

Hi Leann. Oh, your post definitely made sense.
I think we all take stock every so often and determine what is important and what isn't.
Life is so fleeting so it's imperative that we savor each second, as much as possible.
Things changed dramatically for me when I let go of full time employment. I still do part-time jobs (a few of them) but have time in between for ME! I love that feeling of freedom and independence, even though there's certainly not as much $.
Oh well, we all must make our own choices.
Your cards are beautiful. Susan

You make perfect sense. And I relate personally. I retired because of health and ironically I've hardly been sick since. I think the stress just took over my body and while I'll always have my underlying chronic disease, I find myself enjoying life and accomplishing things that had been on hold for so very long. My "word" this year is NOW. It came from doing as you are -- taking stock, looking at what I loved, what was neglected, what must be done, what I need and what I can release. It's a day by day thing and some are more successful than others -- but you are exactly the right spot.
And yes, I understand what you mean about loving to do the art but sometimes it's just too much physically or emotionally.
Hang in there. This wretched winter will soon pass (though here ehre in Michigan it doesn't look like it!)and if nothing else, the light will help some! Daylight savings tomorrow!

VietAbroader's Essay Mentorship Project 2012
Dear all VietAbroaders,
As another thrilling season of applications to US colleges is quickly coming up, our Forum team has taken a new initiative to assist this year's applicants in their essay writing process, which definitely plays a critical role in gaining the valuable acceptance letters.
In order to continue our timeless mission of "Empowering Vietnamese youth", we are now proudly presenting you our Essay Mentorship Project 2012 with the following details for those who wish to become Mentors and Mentees:
For Mentor positions:
- College students who have had any experiences proofreading essays and are willing to contribute to VA community are invited to fill in a sign-up form (http://www.jotform.me/lnghiem/vietabroader-essay-mentor). In addition, they are also expected to revise a sample essay (http://www.mediafire.com/file/8p58h3dk6rcblc4/VA__Essay___Mentor___Essay_for_Editted.doc) as well as upload a 500-word essay at their choice.
- Deadline: Rolling basis. However, we will announce the list of selected Mentors in late-August.
Though this is a completely volunteer-based project, we would highly appreciate if potential Mentors could prove to be committed to helping evaluate essays of young applicants on a regular basis. Moreover, frequent visits to VA Forum, especially prior to application deadlines, as well as mentoring skills such as patience and inspiration are also strongly recommended.
For Mentee positions:
- All registered forum members who are applying for colleges and have difficulties writing an essay are eligible for becoming mentees.
- Essays written by Mentees will then be uploaded onto VA Forum in separate threads in the designated area of the Essay box after we finalize the list of official Mentors in late-August.
- Essays to be reviewed can range from CommonApp and Supplements to Standardized tests such as TOEFL and SAT, as long as they are not copied from any other sources and ensure to avoid basic grammatical errors or spelling mistakes.
With all these efforts, we sincerely hope that not only will future applicants be more confident and successful in their pursuit of American dreams, but the interactions between Mentors and Mentees in particular, as well as within VietAbroader's Circle of friends will be widely expanded and deeply enhanced.
Should you come up with any questions regarding this project, feel free to post here or shoot us an email at email@example.com
Thank you for your reading!

Marco Di Vaio of the Montreal Impact was named to the 2013 MLS Best XI on Tuesday, recognizing the league's top 11 players at each field position.
The striker, who was named the team's MVP for 2013, is also nominated for the 2013 MLS Volkswagen Most Valuable Player Award after leading the team in scoring and finishing third in the league with 20 goals, including five game-winners, in 33 games played.
He became just the 11th player in league history to reach the 20-goal plateau in a single season.
Of the top three marksmen in MLS, he's the only player to have scored all of his goals through the run of play (no PK attempts).
This is the first time an Impact player received this honour since the club's entry in MLS.
On October 15, the Impact announced that the club exercised its option on Di Vaio's contract for 2014 as the Italian striker agreed to return to the Impact for one more season.

Ampere Law in a hole.. Should give zero?
View Single Post
Jan9-13, 04:52 PM
It seems to me like you already answered your own question.
"What is to be done is to add up both magnetic fields by superposition and therefore we indeed have the sum of the magnetic filed of the hole being ZERO, plus the magnetic field of the cable which is NOT zero at that point."
You are interested in the sum of individual contributions. Think about if you had a wire with current flow and were trying to determine the resultant magnetic field. You could have any number of ampere loops in which the wire is not enclosed and their resulting contribution is still zilch.
In your problem with the ampere loop from r = 0 to r = b is telling you that there is no contribution to the magnetic field from this portion of space since there is no current flow there.

ADD & ADHD Health Center
Trouble Concentrating? A Patch on the Arm Could Help
Levin says that nicotine stimulates the release of dopamine, which may mean that nicotine's effects may be similar to that of Ritalin or amphetamine, which has also been used to treat ADHD. Dopamine is a chemical in the brain that is responsible for aiding in the transmission of nerve impulses and has been identified as one of the important chemicals in ADHD. Evidence suggesting a role for nicotine in ADHD comes from studies which show that the smoking rate for adults with ADHD is double that seen in the general population and that people with ADHD smoke at an early age. "They may be smoking to self-medicate their symptoms of inattentiveness," says Levin.
"In no way am I recommending that any one take up or keep smoking. ... Actually, providing some nicotinic therapy might help prevent these people from taking up smoking for self-medication," Levin tells WebMD. "Nicotine has gotten a bad name in terms of being the drug in tobacco which underlies tobacco addiction. Nicotine itself or some of these nicotinic agonists hold great promise for therapeutics."
Wilens' research was funded by Abbott Laboratories, the nicotine patch manufacturer.
Vital Information:
- For adults who suffer from moderate ADHD, the nicotine patch could be an alternative treatment to Ritalin or antidepressants.
- The nicotine patch will not ever replace these other drug options, but further study is needed to determine who could benefit and what the dosage should be.
- The rate of smoking among people with ADHD is double that of the general population, leading one researcher to suggest they may be attempting to self-medicate.

Looking for a project with "sole"? Introduce the Japanese art of Gyotaku while experimenting with creative coloring techniques.
"Gyo" means fish and "taku" means rubbing in Japanese. Gyotaku is the Japanese art of making prints with fish. This technique was originally created by fisherman in the 1800's to record their prized catches and over time has evolved into a unique art form.
Show examples of Gyotaku prints to the class. Students research the techniques, colors and variations. What makes each one unique?
Creating authentic Gyotaku uses real fish and paint to make the print. This "scaled" back version lets you create a fun facsimile of this technique with construction paper and crayons. To create the body of the fish, place a piece of construction paper over the bottom of your shoe. Sneakers are the best choice for this project. Take a crayon with the label off and rub it back and forth over the tread of the sneaker. Watch the texture and pattern of the sneaker's tread appear on the paper. Experiment with different colors and by applying different amounts of pressure with the crayons. This crayon rubbing will become the scales on body of the fish.
Using authentic Gyotaku prints for inspiration, add details like a fish eyes, fins and a tail to the body of the fish with crayons.

Organic food scraps fertilizer approved
WISErg, a bioclean technology company, announced that its WISErganic All Purpose Organic Liquid Fertilizer passed inspection by the California Department of Food & Agriculture (CDFA) and is now approved for use by California organic growers. WISErganic is compliant with all CDFA regulations as well as the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Organic Program standards. With this certification, California's organic crop producers and environmentally conscious landscapers now have a natural alternative to fish fertilizer, one with no offensive odor and even higher levels of nitrogen and other nutrients required for healthy soil.
WISErganic is a premium organic liquid fertilizer that is derived from discarded food scraps using an innovative, low-impact technology process that rescues and reuses organic material before it begins to decompose. This is an important consideration given that food scraps account for more than 20 percent of all landfill methane emissions. With WISErganic, California based food growers -- from agribusinesses to backyard gardeners -- now have a pesticide-free product for replenishing soil nutrients that won't clog irrigation systems, leads to sustained crop performance and is produced in an environmentally sustainable way.
"We don't look at food scraps as waste, but as an untapped resource for a complete circle that takes us from grower to grocer and back to the grower," noted Larry LeSueur, CEO, WISErg. "By using the WISErg Harvester and our patent-pending conversion process, we can capture and stabilize food scraps at a retail, restaurant or campus facility before they decompose and become unusable. The process is completely natural, produces no harmful by-products or emissions and results in WISErganic, a nutrient-rich fertilizer for organic food production."
WISErganic is also certified and approved for use by organic growers by the Washington State Department of Agriculture's Organic Program.

This composting technology sounds brilliant. I am wandering if the fats,oils, and grease (FOG) go into this new composting technology. Our grease trap or grease recovery technology takes the FOG out of the restaurant kitchen waste water. I am told the FOG or yellow grease takes a long time to decompose. Glenn Martin www.greasetrap.ca
This is an effective recycling method. http://livingorganic.org/
1. Do you also have prepared a special tool to separate the food scraps / wastes that are hazardous to health?? when processed for organic fertilizer, and used by farmers .. then generate a source of food. 2. what about the rest of the fast food? 3. whether the organic fertilizer processing plant workers equipped with protection from bacteria and germs?? 4. If this project brings many benefits, you can spread the fertilizer on the entire world?? how? when it's time? 5. thank you brother ..

Ginger Shortbread
Though it's lightened, this traditional-style shortbread has all of the buttery flavor and tender, flaky texture of the original. For more pronounced ginger flavor, increase the ground ginger by 1/2 teaspoon. (Leave out the ginger for a plain version.) Wedges are a classic shortbread shape. To keep the texture of the bread pleasantly light, handle the dough as little as possible.
