Japan's Canon Inc. said it would start making organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays in 2006 as part of a plan to bring more production of key parts in-house and lower procurement costs.
Canon president Fujio Mitarai said the company planned to use OLED displays in its own digital cameras, camcorders, and printers as early as the second half of 2006, replacing liquid crystal displays (LCD). It had already produced a prototype.
"We won't make these for sale to other companies. We use about 20 million (displays each year) on our own so that's a big enough cost savings right there," Mr. Mitarai said.
Canon also plans to enter the market for rear projection televisions, which use a LCD device in the back of the screen to project an image onto a large plastic screen. These TVs will address the market for sets more than 60 in and use technology from its LCD projectors. (Reuters)

The Internal Revenue Service is warning Americans about a widespread phone scam that's already cost victims millions of dollars.
The agency has received some 90,000 complaints of unsolicited calls from individuals demanding payment while fraudulently claiming to be from the IRS.
According to the IRS, crooks have already stolen some $5-million from unsuspecting victims.
The IRS says its first contact with people is always via U.S. mail and IRS employees never threaten tax payers for immediate payment.

There's been a lot of buzz lately about Windows 8.1's new features and additions. Apparently, though, the latest Windows release also takes some things away. According to technology blog McAkins Online, the Windows 8.1 public preview removes the familiar Windows Experience Index from the System control panel.
That two-digit figure has been there since Windows Vista. It's generated by the Windows System Assessment Tool, which tests CPU, memory, graphics, gaming, and storage performance. A score is assigned to each test, and the overall Windows Performance Index is equal to the lowest of those five scores.
In Vista, and later in Windows 7, the Windows Performance Index was used to determine whether Aero transparency effects should be enabled. It was also featured in the Games Explorer, where it looked like a potentially simpler alternative to the lists of minimum system requirements on PC game boxes.
Game publishers seem to have largely ignored the feature, though, and Windows 8 did away with both Aero and the Games Explorer. Now, it looks like the Windows Performance Index may also be up for an early retirement—unless, that is, it returns in the final Windows 8.1 release. Given its limited usefulness, however, I suspect it won't.
This discussion is now closed.

Are you an international speaker or speechwriter?
Last month, BBC Capital published "Speechless: Three big sins of public speaking". I was interviewed for the article – along with speakers, speechwriters, corporate trainers and nonprofit consultants from the UK, across the US, France and Germany.
The author of the article, Rhea Wessel, based near Frankfurt, provides an excellent range of examples – many of them cautionary tales of public speaking gone awry. Merely reading one or two of the embarrassing glitches she notes in this piece should be enough to galvanize any speaker into action. The lesson? Take your public speaking assignments seriously. Think. Plan. Put a speechwriting process in place. Ask questions about the event. Understand your audience (before you're standing in front of them). Rehearse. And then rehearse some more.
I provided this warning: "Show me a speaker who hasn't used some form of 'you', and I'll show you a speaker who has just talked right past the audience." Don't be that speaker.
Webinar tips for speakers
Last week, I coached speakers in New York City to prepare for a series of webinars across the United States. Yesterday, I received a request from a manager in Florida who wants training/consulting to improve the webinars he does with far-flung employees.
Here are some tips to help you give better webinars:
1. Pay attention to your voice. All speakers benefit from using good vocal techniques, but webinar speakers benefit the most. Why? Because it takes "vocal personality" to keep a webinar from sounding dry and becoming boring. Use vocal variety in pacing, volume and tone. Above all, avoid fillers: uh, um, ah. They jump out in a webinar even more than usual.
2. Pay attention to your visuals. Think: good photos, appealing colors, strong design. Avoid the word-slide-syndrome. No webinar can keep an audience engaged with large numbers of dreary word slides.
3. Plan to use assistants. The larger your audience … the more questions you expect to receive … the more logistics you'll have to deal with … well, the more you will need good assistants.
4. Edit your content ruthlessly. If you can cut 10% of your material, cut 10%, If you can cut 20% of your material, cut 20%. Time is money. Wasting the participants' time has a multiplier effect. You're not just taking work time from one person, you're taking work time from many people.
Try a reality check:
Review your recent webinars and ask this question: "How much time (how much money) has our organization lost to poorly planned webinars?" Resolve to stop that costly drain – before you do another webinar.
Speechwriting for an English-as-a-second-language speaker
Are you writing a speech [in English] for an executive whose first language is not English?
Here are some practical speechwriting tips to help your ESL speaker succeed at the lectern:
1. As a speechwriter, you want any client to feel as confident as possible. For ESL clients, this presentation confidence is particularly critical. Learning a speech in a second language is hard work. Delivering a speech in a second language is even harder. As a professional speechwriter, you need to manage the entire process wisely. Start your speechwriting duties earlier than usual. Allow a big time frame for interviews, outlines, reviews, rewrites, edits. If you're working across time zones, allow an even bigger time frame.
2. Factor in rehearsals as soon as you start the process. All speakers need rehearsals. ESL speakers need them even more. The last thing you want is to spend so much time writing and re-writing the speech that the client winds up stressed because of inadequate rehearsal time. I can't emphasize this enough: If you don't plan for the necessary rehearsals, you aren't serving your client. I've seen ESL executives who were so ill-prepared that they never "heard" the end of their own speech until they found themselves on stage delivering it! Mispronunciations and awkward syntax are give-aways that an ESL speaker didn't get the necessary coaching time at rehearsals.
3. Make the manuscript speaker-friendly. Encourage ESL speakers to pause often and note these pauses when you prepare the manuscript. These little breaks will give your client a chance to breathe and also give the audience a chance to absorb the message.
4. If your speaker has a particularly heavy accent, be sure to use context clues to help the listeners. For example: "a vase" could sound like "a face" or "a base" or even "a waste". Adding context clues will make a big difference for the audience: "a vase of flowers" trumps "a vase."
How to improve your PowerPoint presentations

Academic writers, academic speakers, academic audiences
As a long-time fan of Steven Pinker, I'm inclined to read everything he writes. Pinker is professor of psychology at Harvard University, chair of the usage panel of the American Heritage Dictionary, and author of The Sense of Style: The Thinking Person's Guide to Writing in the 21st Century, recently published by Viking. In short, he knows a lot about language. If you're not familiar with his work, I highly recommend picking up a book or two. Excellent.
His September piece in The Chronicle of Higher Education recently caught my attention: "Why Academics Stink at Writing". In fact, it caught my attention on the same day I spoke about presentation skills at a national transportation conference. One of the conference attendees asked me, "Why is it so hard to connect with audiences in academia?" And this came just days after a skilled speechwriter vented her frustration to me, "Why is it so hard to do good speechwriting for colleges and universities? Why do academics and their administrators resist the best speechwriting techniques I offer?"
Why, indeed?
As another college speechwriter told me, "After two years of speechwriting here in academia, I don't have any samples that I want to show in my portfolio." Now, that's a career problem.
While Pinker focuses on the writing that academics produce, his observations offer useful insights that will apply to speechwriters who work with academic clients, as well as to speakers who address academic conferences.
Read on. And take heart.
How to celebrate a landmark anniversary: 25 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall
When I read the following article on Deutsche Welle, I thought of all the speechwriting assignments that revolve around anniversaries. If you work as a speechwriter long enough, you'll have a portfolio full of anniversary speeches.
If you're a freelance speechwriter, lucky you: You'll have even more anny samples in your speechwriting portfolio because you work (or, you certainly should be working!) for a wide range of organizations. Since a smart portfolio is the key to a successful speechwriting career, this provides a career advantage.
The following article describes a fresh perspective on marking an anniversary. While focusing on an exhibit at the British Museum, the piece offers inspiration/ideas/techniques for speechwriters who want to create more memorable remarks for any anniversary event.
From Deutsche Welle:
To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the British Museum's "Germany: Memories of a Nation" exhibition offers food for thought to those who think they know Britain's one-time enemy.
It's no secret that Germany doesn't have the best image in England. In covering international sporting or political events, British tabloids like to let the symbols of enmity with its 20th century rival resurface: tanks, guns and military uniforms. They serve as frequent reminders of the divided past between these two nations.
But the British Museum's "Germany: Memories of a Nation" exhibition makes a point of avoiding the clichés, instead offering many positive-minded pieces from the last 600 years in Germany history.
Opening the exhibition is a map of a reunified Germany in black, red and gold, bearing the words "Wir sind ein Volk" (We are one people). In 1989, demonstrators in East Berlin famously held a sign with the same message.
That version of the German flag is significant because of the special message it conveys, says Barrie Cook, curator of the exhibition. The poster is on loan from the German Historical Museum in Berlin. Cook says the organizers chose to use German unity as a starting point for the exhibition because many people can still remember the relevant events, having witnessed them personally.
Mission: Changing perceptions
Germany is a new country, and a new country needs a new history, commented the director of the British Museum, Neil MacGregor, in an interview with "Radio Times." The Scottish-born director says he is on a mission to change the British perception of Germany – and encourage people to reflect on it.
That helps explain why a blue wetsuit is included in this look back at German history. The suit is emblematic of some East Germans' decision to try and escape to freedom not by climbing the Berlin Wall, but by navigating the Baltic Sea – despite fears of freezing to death or being shot.
Guests may also wonder about a porcelain rhinoceros included in the showcase. The template for the sculpture stems from a 1515 creation by Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer. MacGregor says the template is one of 10 objects that reflect modern Germany. Craftsmen and women at Dresden's famed Meissen porcelain manufactory create the rhinoceros based on Dürer's model, even though the artist never saw a rhinoceros himself. That didn't stop him, notes MacGregor, from creating a wonderfully detailed and charming version of the animal.
All triumphs aside, the exhibition cannot disregard the darkest chapter in Germany's 20th century history. Curator Barrie Cook reflected on the difficulty of presenting the Holocaust in the exhibition – saying the experience of doing so as an outsider offered him insight into how difficult it must be for Germans themselves to grapple with this element of their past.
The exhibition includes a replica of the concentration camp gate from Buchenwald bearing its original inscription "Jedem das Seine," a bitterly cynical slogan that could be translated as, "To each, that which he deserves." The original gate was designed by a prisoner in the camp. Prior to his encampment, he had been a pupil of the Bauhaus school.
The reconstruction that began after 1945 is also a part of the exhibition. It includes Max Lachnit's colorful mosaic "The Trümmerfrau" (The Rubble Woman), made of hundreds of pieces of marble and basalt the artist collected from the rubble left behind in Dresden. Museum visitors can also experience the astronomical clock from inside the Strasbourg Cathedral. Though no longer part of Germany's territory, cities like Strasbourg, Basel, Kaliningrad or Prague are also featured at the British Museum.
Many of the exhibited items, which span five centuries of history, are on loan from German museums. Some of the displayed items are traveling outside of Germany for the first time. The exhibition concentrates on pieces that shape Germany's identity through to the present and showcase the country's history. Museum director MacGregor says having at least a sense of Germany's perspective is essential to understanding today's world.
MacGregor treads new ground with the exhibition in a number of ways, having partnered with BBC for a 30-part radio series. As of mid-September, the museum director has described a piece of German history on the air each week. Topics include the Brandenburg Gate, Gutenberg's printing press, the poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe as well as the Volkswagen Beetle's cultural influence.
Of course, a few German clichés – including Bratwurst – have to be included. MacGregor talks about the myriad of German sausage choices, whose staggering variety he says can even compete with that of French cheeses.
The "Germany: Memories of a Nation" exhibition runs from October 16, 2014, to January 15, 2015.

How to get more attention for your speakers: A tip from successful museums
The travel section in today's New York Times carries a marvelous piece called "A Museum of Your Own" (by Stephanie Rosenbloom). The gist of the article? "In an Instagram age, how to slow down and take in the view"
If you have ever raced through a large museum, trying to see as many famous paintings as possible, only to wind up tired and cranky … well, this article will give you creative tips and new hope for your next museum visit.
But it also has savvy insights that apply to speakers and the forums who invite them.
Do you organize conferences? Do you invite speakers to appear at conventions? Would you like to get more attention for your speakers series? Consider this excerpt from the article:
"…many museums are encouraging visitors to take selfies with the art and post them on social media. (In case you missed it, Jan. 22 was worldwide 'Museum-Selfie' day with visitors sharing their best work on Twitter …" )
Organizations booking speakers can use the same technique. Allow time at the end of any speaking event for the audience to greet the speaker and take selfies. Many speaking events include a book-signing. This is a natural time to welcome selfies – promoting not just the organization's event, but the speaker's book.

As I'm writing this, the U.S. is wrapping up Mental Illness Awareness Week – established by the U.S. Congress in 1990 to be observed the first full week of October.
Throughout the week, I've read informative tweets and LinkedIn posts about a wide range of MIAW topics. Good to see!
But I have to say: It's discouraging to still see people-who-should-know-better glibly using mental illness terms in both oral and written communication. Surely there's a better way to say: "I thought the whole idea was schizophrenic" or "The strategies seemed sort of bipolar to me." Yes, I've heard these lines used by both business communicators and government communicators.
I'm reminded of the terrible tsunami that struck Japan a few years ago. Within days of that disaster, I heard the term "tsunami" used [I should say, grossly mis-used] in speeches, meetings, even sales pitches. With the total deaths still uncounted, I actually heard a presenter refer to "a tsunami of new business coming in."
Words mean something. They also set a tone. Let's set the right tone.
Translation rights for books and their income potential for writers – a great article from Deutsche Welle
Over the years, my public speaking books have been translated into Japanese, Dutch and Polish. With 2014 marking the 30th anniversary of How to Write & Give A Speech (St. Martin's Press), Alba Editorial in Spain will publish a Spanish edition in February 2015 – translation by Elena Bernardo.
In recent weeks, I've received many inquiries from authors (and would-be authors) wanting to know more about the international book market and its incoming-producing potential.
Last evening, when I read this article from Deutsche Welle, I thought it would be helpful to share.
HarperCollins ventures into German book market
HarperCollins has unveiled plans to expand in the German book market. At the Frankfurt Book Fair, DW's Manuela Kasper-Claridge spoke to CEO Brian Murray about new book formats and their challenges for the US publisher.
DW: Mr. Murray, do you see any new market trends at this year's Frankfurt Book Fair?
Brian Murray: We still see this trend of globalization where rights are being sold of our authors in more and more countries. And also there's this continuing trend of innovation on the digital front. There are more and more places for us to sell e-books and there are new digital business models, subscription models for books, for example, that continue to take off in different markets. So these trends, globalization and digitalization, continue in the book business, and I believe they are very positive trends for both publishers and authors. HarperCollins has been doing everything we can to take advantage of these trends, and providing our authors with new avenues to reach readers around the world.
DW: Does it also make book publishing more difficult?
It's not more difficult, it's more interesting because there are so many new things that we can do, and we have only so many people. So we have to pick… are we going to do A or B? We can't do everything, but we are doing a lot of innovation in trying new things. We learn what works, and when it works we continue to do it for more authors and for more markets. So it's a very exciting time to be in publishing because of this rapid rate of innovation.
DW: Could you describe what you do when you discover good author with a good manuscript. How do you go about publishing it?
We have editors all around the world, and with our recent acquisition of Harlequin we have offices in 15 different countries so that we can now publish in 16 different languages. When we get a good manuscript that comes into one of our offices, we start sharing it with editors in the other offices and we get an assessment as to whether or not this particular book can sell in multiple markets. Then the editors will work on that and not every book travels to other markets. But that editorial conversation begins the process of deciding whether or not we will publish in one market… or only in English, or in many foreign markets as well. We have people all over the world that share their manuscripts, and then if we decide to publish in many markets, then our marketing teams begin to share their ideas about how to market the book to readers.
DW: Is Germany an important market for you?
Germany was Harlequin's largest foreign language market. Now that we've acquired Harlequin, we have announced today (08.10.2014) that we are forming HarperCollins Germany using the team that has been here for some time. We've also announced that we will begin to publish 50 titles in German and in other languages, which is going to be a HarperCollins International List. And reading that list for us is Daniel Silva, who was a New York Times number one bestselling author for HarperCollins. We will also be publishing his books in 16 languages beginning next fall. So that's our big announcement, and we are very excited, we'll be investing in Germany in our publishing capabilities here in trying to grow our business. It's the largest market outside of English that we have. We have big ambitions to get even bigger.
DW: But in Germany you will also have many competitors.
There are many competitors in all international markets. In fact, when we were thinking about ways to enter into Germany, Italy or France you can either build organically… which is very difficult to do because there are so many existing publishers. We decided to acquire Harlequin because then we'd have offices in all these countries. Harlequin has been in Germany for more than 30 years, and they have expertise in the mass market and the women's fiction area. So we plan to use this expertise and then to build and move into general commercial fiction. In a very small way to begin with, but we will hire people to help us editorially and in marketing to realize that potential.
DW: Book prices are fixed here in Germany. Is this an advantage for HarperCollins?
All of the markets are very interesting because they differ. Half of the markets are fixed-price, and half of the markets are not. I know that here the fixed prices have served the German market very well; we've seen some growing particularly on the e-book side. But there is tremendous diversity in retail, which is probably a function of the fixed book prices. So I'm looking forward to learning more about that, most of the English language book markets have not fixed prices. The UK market was years ago, but that has changed. So I have to learn a little bit about fixed prices, but I'm very interested. Generally, I think it does publishers and retailers in Germany very well.
DW: Do you think that printed books still have a chance in the long run?
Absolutely, the print book is not going away. I would point to the US market where the e-book grew the fastest. The e-books were very inexpensive compared with the print books, but despite that we've seen a balancing between the e-books and the print books. There is still growth in e-books but the print book is here to stay forever. It is a terrific gift, it is a terrific format, and I think "print" and "e" can complement one another. That's beginning to happen in the US where there is a nice balancing on the market between formats. We want to give consumers as much choice as possible, we want them to choose if they want an e-book, or a hardback or a paperback; I don't see that changing.
DW: Let's talk about business books. Do you think they are in high demand, and what subject should they cater for?
The business market goes through different cycles. Some of our biggest business books… we've published Jack Welch, we've got a new Jack Welch book coming up, we've published Jim Collins – "Good to Great" continues to sell year in, year out. We've also done Drucker's books (Peter Drucker is an Austrian-born management consultant) going back a long time ago. So, there are certain books that will sell for years and years, some of the books I mentioned are such books, and we sell them into dozens of countries. There is always a need for business managers to understand how to solve a problem, what is the right strategy, how to think about their organization. And books are a terrific format, that long-form narrative is a terrific format to help managers. Twitter, in doing a hundred characters, is not a sufficient way to communicate about how to run a business more effectively. I think books and business books will be here for a long time, but they definitely have cycles where there is maybe a hot book this year that really takes off, and then the next year there might not be as big a market. But they do continue to sell for years.
DW: Is there a business person whose book you would like to publish?
Well, I'm very excited about Jack Welch's book. He had a big success with his last book, and it's been some time since he's published a book. He's been out of General Electric, and he's been working with a lot of startups. I'm very fascinated to read his next book because it's going to bring a perspective of someone who'd been in corporate business and is now working with digital startups. I'm curious to see how he blends the two management philosophies. He's the one I'm most excited about.
Brian Murray is Chief Executive Officer of HarperCollins Publishers since 2008. He's engineered the acquisition of Toronto-based Harlequin publishing house in May 2014 under efforts to "expand the international footprint" of the New York company.

If you want to learn about science storytelling …
I just received this notice from SEJ (Society Environmental Journalists) and thought it might be useful for speechwriters who deal with science topics (which is to say, almost all speechwriters, at one time or another) as well as general science writers.
The training features accomplished speakers, and the price is very/very reasonable.
DATE: Nov. 3, 2014 APPLY BY: Oct 13, 2014 LOCATION: Poynter Institute, 801 3rd Street South, St. Petersburg, Florida
Making Science Storytelling Engaging and Accurate
This is a one-day intensive workshop that will help science and environmental journalists, bloggers and students produce engaging and informative content. With increasing demand to produce compelling science stories, journalists are also faced with entertainment successes, such as "Shark Week" and "Sharknado," that can confuse scientific fact and fiction. As the need for science stories continues to grow, it has left the American public more misinformed about science than ever. Join us for a comprehensive day of learning how to:
- breathe excitement into your stories
- pitch to editors
- tap into research tools that make data accessible
- begin an investigation into an individual or organization
The day's schedule: (subject to change) 9:00 a.m. – 9:15 a.m. ~ Welcome
|Jennifer Bogo Executive Editor, Popular Science
9:15 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. ~ Session 1, The Pitch with Jennifer Bogo Whether you are a freelance writer pitching various editors, or a staff writer pitching your boss, your pitch must be on target. In this session faculty will walk the workshop audience through the various methods for developing a story ideaand sounding it out to editors.
|Angela Posada-Swafford
Freelance Science and Exploration Writer
10:45a.m. – 12:00 p.m. ~ Session 2, Getting it Right with Angela Posada-Swafford There's so much to get wrong. And it's so difficult to find the right sources to provide the foundation for the best information. In this session, we will describe the methods for judging an expert's appropriateness for contributing to a story, translating scientific jargon into the vernacular and fact-checking the work before publication.
12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. ~ Lunch
1:00 p.m. – 2:15 p.m. ~ Session 3, Longform Science Journalism with Angela Posada-Swafford A time-tried way to engage the public is by telling a good tale. But that requires the ability to organize and execute a complicated project, often within a short time frame. In this session, we will lay out the methods for organizing a long project from conception to publication.
2:30 p.m. – 3:45 p.m. ~ Session 4, Character-driven Stories with Jennifer Bogo Science is often complicated and inaccessible to the audience. One of the best ways to get readers over that hurdle is a character-driven story. In this session we will describe how reporters find characters and bring them to life in stories about science. 3:45 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. ~ Wrap-up Who Will Benefit: Science and environmental journalists, bloggers, students and anyone interested in reporting about science and the environment. Price: $79.00 (Lunch is included.)
Price for SEJ members and students: $59.00

A woman who missed her flight at Will Rogers World Airport Tuesday when she showed up in a wheelchair, bra and panties, passed through the airport screening process this morning and has left the city.
In bra, panties and wheelchair, woman goes through Oklahoma City airport screening this morning
Tammy Banovac, clad in undergarments and sitting in a wheelchair, failed to pass the Transportation Security Administration screening process Tuesday when security officers detected traces of nitrates on her wheelchair.
Airport spokeswoman Karen Carney said the issue was resolved this morning and Banovac, 52, caught her flight out of the city at 7 a.m. after going through screening without incident.
Banovac did show up at the airport this morning in her wheelchair wearing her bra and panties again, Carney said. But Banovac had a change of clothes that she put on after being screened, Carney said.
She boarded her flight to Phoenix without incident. Carney said Banovac also had a dog with her, who left on the same flight.
Tuesday night Banovac said she chose to wear her underwear because of an unpleasant experience two weeks ago at airport security. She is typically hand-searched at airports because she uses a wheelchair, she said, and she felt violated by the more invasive searches employed at airports recently.Watch a YouTube video of the screening

RUPAUL'S DRAG U Returns Revamped to Logo Tonight, 6/18
Television's most fabulous makeover show is back and totally revamped. The third season of "RuPaul's Drag U" delivers more diva transformations, more drag queens and more surprises as biological women are treated not only to show-stopping makeovers, but also receive once-in-a-lifetime, real-world hair, makeup and fashion tips from the world's greatest drag faculty. This season continues to deliver fan favorite drag queens, more iconic celebrity judges and life-changing stories as eight new, one-hour episodes premiere tonight, June 18 at 9PM ET/PT on Logo.
In each episode, the drag professors help women create a show-stopping look for their lip-sync stage performance, while RuPaul coaches the women in 'everyday fabulous' by offering them new styles and tips that they can bring home with them after "Drag U." Some everyday tips include finding the perfect "little black dress," using the right makeup brushes and mastering form-fitting outfits.
Commenting on the new season, RuPaul said, "If behind every great, glamorous woman there's a gay man, then the contestants on 'RuPaul's Drag U' have hit the jackpot." He continued, "It's a truly life-changing experience for these lovely ladies to learn beauty secrets from the most talented and fashionable drag queens in the world."
Join RuPaul for a season of inspirational stories as women regain their self-esteem and develop the self-acceptance they need to jump to the head of the class. The season three faculty includes: Latrice Royale, JuJubee, Manila Luzon, Raja, Raven, Shannel, Alexis Mateo, Mariah, Chad Michaels, Willam, Morgan McMichaels, Pandora Boxx, Delta Work and Sharon Needles. And, of course, Lady Bunny returns as the "Dean of Drag" to dispense her "Lady Lessons." This new season also welcomes guest choreographers to take on the role of "Dean of Dance" including Candis Cayne, Jamal Sims, Adam Cook and Phlex.
This season of "RuPaul's Drag U" will also feature a new batch of visiting celebrity professors including: Donna Mills, Brittany Snow, Holly Robinson-Peete, Angela Kinsey, Joely Fisher, Tamara Taylor, Robin Givens and Tamala Jones.
"RuPaul's Drag U" strives to help modern women from all walks live their sexiest and most fulfilling lives. However, the road to fabulousness is a long one as each woman is carefully transformed from the inside-out. These eye-opening transformations will leave even the most educated viewer with a new respect for the power of drag.

Smith upset at coach, eyes future replacement
Marty Schottenheimer
By Michael Lombardo
Date: Jan 29, 2007
The relationship between A.J. Smith and Marty Schottenheimer continues to worsen – assuming it hasn't hit rock bottom already. The two disagreed on whether to re-sign Drew Brees and again on whether to put Donnie Edwards on the trading block. The latest point of conflict is Schottenheimer's decision to decline an offer for a contract extension.

Dear Reader,
These tables are unique on the web. They are independent and providers are not forced to pay to appear, which is typically the case at big comparison sites.
Sylvia Morris
They are completely unbiased - we simply show the best rates around and don't do 'featured deals'.
We've gone a step further, too. To feature in the best buys on variable rate accounts in our savings tables, an account must give you easy access to your money and come with no hidden catches.
In the past we have refused to include accounts where the rate is boosted by a short-term bonus or those with over-restrictive conditions so you only earn the advertised rate if you make three or less withdrawals a year.
But with interest rates so low, most of today's best deals have some sort of clause built in, whether that's a bonus or a restriction on withdrawals.
For that reason, we've included decent bonuses as long as they last for at least 12 months. This is to avoid your having to switch your account too often when short-term bonuses run out.
If there is a restriction on withdrawals we have made this clear in the notes on each account.
We also ignore old-style 'notice' accounts where the bank or building society can demand you give up to six months' notice that you want to take our money out while it can change the rate at any time without warning.
All banks and building societies are registered with the Financial Services Authority and signed up to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, either directly (protecting up to £85,000) or via its passport scheme (where the compensation limit depends on the bank's home country. In Europe it is €100,000).

To address how to survive encounters with troublesome customers and colleagues, the Women's Council of the Cleveland/Bradley Chamber of Commerce will present a program on "Dealing With Difficult People."
Officials said, "Some people go to extraordinary lengths to be difficult. Unfortunately, these difficult people—be they co-workers, bosses or customers—face us constantly. The way we handle them can affect our job, our advancement and even our health."
Presenter Sandi Kramer will offer tips for coping with these problematic relationships on Monday, April 22, in a 12-1:15 p.m. lunch-and-learn presentation at the Chamber of Commerce.
Ms. Kramer is a successful business owner, life coach, motivational speaker, author, entrepreneur, wife, mother and teacher.
"Sandi deals with people from all walks of life and in many life situations," Ann Marie Brewer, Women's Council chairman, said. "Her diverse experience with people makes her an ideal speaker for this session."
During the session, Ms. Kramer will discuss how to deal with difficult people by discovering M&M's, determining if you are a PR person or BS person and using the KISS method.
"And if all else fails, sometimes you have to hush up and listen," Ms. Kramer said with a smile.
"All women and men are invited to participate in our Women's Council sessions," Bernadette Douglas, executive vice president for the Chamber of Commerce, said. "We encourage you join us for this opportunity to network and to learn about how you can deal with those people in your life who are just difficult to deal with."
The cost of the "Dealing With Difficult People" session is $15 for Chamber members and $25 for non-members and includes a buffet luncheon. To register, call 423 472-6587 by noon on Thursday, April 18. Chamber members also may register online at the community calendar at www.clevelandchamber.com.

Adult Swim extended its programming an hour earlier to include the third hour of prime time at 10 ET in January of 2009.

Long Island communities are waging a war against prescription drug abuse and a rampant heroin epidemic. The county launched a free public training program in 2012 to teach ordinary citizens the signs of an overdose and how to reverse its effects using a drug called Narcan.
Garden City High School hosted one of these training events on Oct. 9 as a packed auditorium of parents and community members gathered to learn the skills needed to potentially save a life. Floral Park will host the event in December.

Despite the national media attention about Ebola in recent weeks, there is one virus that is actually affecting Long Islanders, Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68), with one of the first cases identified in North Hempstead on Sept. 18 and a recent case on Oct. 15 in Suffolk County, which school officials called for the closing of school, as a health precaution.
Dr. Charles Schleien, chairman of the department of pediatrics at Cohen Children's Medical Center, said that although the enterovirus is still active, cases are dwindling on Long Island. According to Schleien, approximately 500 cases have been reported this season of enterovirus, at Cohen's Children Medical Center, with two to six patients being admitted per day.

Microfinance lender Accion launches venture debt program
Send this to a friend
- Sarah Coffey
- Financial Reporter- Boston Business Journal
Accion, a microfinance organization, is launching a program to seek out startup companies who have completed their research and development phase and are ready for their first round of funding.
The Venture Lab initiative is a $10 million program, the Boston-based organization said in a news release. Investments will typically be in the $100,000 to $300,000 range, given either as convertible debt or equity. Accion is looking to make 20 investments over the next three years, most likely in companies in East Africa, South Asia, and Latin America.
A domestic arm of Accion, Accion US Network (formerly Accion USA), operates the Brewing the American Dream loan program supported by Boston Beer Co. (NYSE: SAM).
Venture Lab will focus on finding opportunities in mobile financial services; credit underwriting/delivery; Internet and social media; embedded financial services; and new technology for "bottom-of-the-pyramid finance," the organization said.
Venture Lab will be directed by Paul Breloff out of Accion's Washington offices, with staff based in East Africa and India.
Editor's note: An earlier version of this story did not include information about recent name changes and reorganization at Accion. The article has been updated to reflect the organization's current structure.

Thieves steal 160 sheep near UK town of Wool
LONDON (AP) - Wool's wool is missing.
Police in southwest England appealed for help Tuesday in tracking down thieves who made off with 160 sheep from a field near the village of Wool.
Police say the sheep were stolen between Saturday and Monday, and that the thieves would have needed a large vehicle to move the woolly haul.
Constable Adam Taylor says all of the sheep were electronically tagged.
He is urging anyone who has witnessed suspicious activity- or been offered sheep "in unusual circumstances or for very low prices"- to come forward.

Sophomore safety Ahmad Thomas enrolled early at Oklahoma last spring to begin working toward a potential starting spot as a true freshman.
Oklahoma football: Ahmad Thomas working for starting spot
That never materialized, but Thomas did play lots on special teams, and is in line for a bigger role on the Sooners' 2014 defense.
"It was hard, but you know, I already knew I had good players ahead of me, so I know I've gotta compete more," Thomas said of last season, when Gabe Lynn and Quentin Hayes locked down the starting safety spots.
Hayes is returning as a senior, but Lynn has graduated. Also, last year's starting nickelback, Julian Wilson, is sitting out the spring after shoulder surgery, so Thomas is getting some work there, too.
"He's a guy who can do a lot of different things, but as a young player, you don't want to throw too much at him too fast," defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said. "But I think Ahmad's got a good feel for his position. Now we can start moving him around."
Oklahoma loses three key wide receivers off last year's team in Jalen Saunders, Lacoltan Bester and Jaz Reynolds, but co-offensive coordinator/receivers coach Jay Norvell said that is what's so exciting about college football.

St. Louis casino revenue rises 5% in October
Send this to a friend
- Kelsey Volkmann
It's become a familiar story now: For the eighth month in a row, the new River City Casino in Lemay saved total St. Louis-area gaming revenue from slumping.
Revenue at the six local casinos totaled $92.1 million in October, up 5 percent from $87.5 million in October 2009, according to data released Wednesday by the Missouri Gaming Commission and the Illinois Gaming Board. Without River City's $14.4 million in revenue last month, area gaming revenue would have dropped 11 percent to $77.7 million.
The other five casinos saw their revenue fall in October.
Harrah's in Maryland Heights reported $22.6 million in revenue last month, down 11 percent from $25.4 million in October 2009.
Pinnacle Entertainment's Lumiere Place brought in $14.7 million in revenue in October, down 18 percent from $17.9 million a year earlier.
Ameristar St. Charles reported $23.5 million in revenue last month, down 1 percent from $23.8 million the same month last year.
