How should we pay for the game?
As I understand it, no decision has been made on how they're going to price the game. The current models in MMO pricing are:
a. free and you pay extra for special content and equipment (about as likely to happen with EA in charge as hell freezing over)
b. monthly fees like WoW
c. monthly fees with option to buy a one time lifetime membership which takes care of monthly fees forever like LotRO
d. Pay for the campaigns as they come out instead of monthly fees like Guild Wars
There may be some other models I'm not aware of but these are the main ones that I know about.
Personally, I like the Guild Wars model--buy the campaign and you're done, no monthly fees. I can live with a LotRO model where you have the option of a one-time lifetime membership fee along with the option of paying monthly. I don't want to mess around with monthly fees.
Also, some of us have families that play MMOs, and a family discount would be incredibly helpful. My hubby, my kids, and I all play Guild Wars together, and we all love Star Wars, too. I know we're going to be playing this game when it comes out. The concept of having an entire family playing an MMO together is fairly new, but I think the ranks of families gaming together will grow with time, and family pricing discounts would help facilitate that trend.
It'll be option B, no doubts about it for me.
Letter d. all the way. If you're going to play the MMO for a long period, then the fees certainly aren't the way to do it. Paying for special gear works, but some games make it impossible for a non-payer to even think on competing with a payer. As for the lifelong memeberships... well, why not go Guild Wars way?
The Free MMO concept is nice, until you realize you are playing a free MMO.
Guild Wars is a fine game, I'll give it that. But it is also severely lacking content compared to other MMOs, all of which are pay-to-play. Not to say that is bad, as it obviously works.
Just that when I play GW, it honestly does feel like I'm playing a free MMO. When the team is getting a constant stream of money, I notice that there are more moderators, glitch fixes, faster patches, etc. They just have more money to expand servers, staff, and the game. Now, a good part of it is profit, but that just goes to improving the MMO and working on other games (Say, Mass Effect 2 and 3)
As far as paying goes, $15 is the highest I'm willing to shovel out.
A lifetime membership could be an option, but that would only be the case if I -really- loved this game.
Get serious here. It's EA. You know what they'll do.
Monthly fee all the way. It's the only option that will ensure that all the poor leet-speaking punks won't be able to play it.
Seriously, make the fee as high as possible!
I would prefer (c), but I am 95% sure we will get (b). Furthermore EA will tell us that high subscription fees are good for the customers, and a sufficient number of people will even fall for that trick...
How about a two to four week free trial. Get people into the game. Charge a $10 monthly fee after the trial.
I wish....incredibly unlikely though...
I'm for the Guild Wars method, even though it will more than likely be monthly fees.
I, like many other Americans, have a low budget. So monthly fees is something I am not looking forward to. So if we do have to pay by the month, this will be yet another game I will not be buying! My wife and son come first!
If I was going to play this game. I would want a mix of b & c.
I am definitely expecting a $15 per month charge like most other MMOs like WoW. I think option c would be the best because you would actually feel you are getting your money's worth for each mission but I don't see it happening.
C would be best. I may buy a lifetime membership if it turns out to be kickass. B would be fine, but C's the best choice afaik.
Would love a (C) or a (D).
Probably going to get a (B).
Probably a standard monthly fee. Probably a dozily high one.:(
The lifetime membership thing would be interesting (provided the game is good, of course!:xp:), again dependent upon how much they charge.
A, C and D put together. No monthly fees ever... new content is released that we can buy about half goes into game for free other half we have to pay for if we want. An option to donate... Though I would only do it if it were like: A meter that shows the amount of money needed to make K3 and once it is full L.A. and BioWare begin working on it, though I dont want to have to buy equipments that should all be free 24/7...
A lifetime membership would be acceptable, though depending on the cost I find it unlikly I, or anyone, would really be able to afford it, if we go by WoW's pricing, that's $130 for a year, and I can't imagine a lifetime membership costing much less than that.
I would prefer a free to play game, simply because I've got better things to pay for on a monthly basis, such as food, rent, ect....Yeah, 15 isn't much, but it's 15 I could use for something I'm more interested in. And I don't play much, weekends really is it, and is 8 days a month worth 15 dollars, not really.
lol, I'm sure the game will designed, made, all the servers kept running, updates, testing, and all the hatred directed towards a small group of part time charity workers for free for the good of the everyman and broke teenager rofl...
It'll be, game price+ Monthly fee's, and I'll be happy to pay.
Plus, the punks might be stimulated to get a job and the economy is saved! :D
Anyways, Guild Wars model is nice...but I don't have problems with monthly fee. WoW has some great options (iDeal, scratch cards etc) that this game could have too.
b or c are the only ways to actually be able to build and sustain enough infrastructure and bandwidth for a huge "proper" MMO, if you ask me. I like the idea of a lifetime fee, but ultimately it would either be ridiculously cheap or ridiculously expensive, depending on how long a period the game is maintained.
They'll most likely go for B), which I like. It encourages them to make an effort because their income would be dependent on the game not sucking.
On a semi-related note, wasn't the lifetime membership for LotRO only available before the game was released?
Personally I would rather have the monthly fee. Every free mmo I've played I got bored with very quickly. Of course the game itself has to be good from the start, but without a game to base it off of, all I can do is go by past experiences.
I equate it to cable TV versus air. I'll pay for the clearer picture and extre channels. So what if it's a monthly fee, I get that much more enjoyment out of it.
If a monthly fee is going to make it more likely that we get more content, if it can be proven to keep out time-wasters, I will pay it (though grudgingly). Provided, of course, it is not obscenely high.
I would imagine it being a monthly fee. So long as they have lots of payment options
(Various credit/debit cards, paypal, hot air), this will make it better. It took Galaxies/SOE far too long to introduce a variety of payment options, which only hindered the game
Not long after launch, a new liftetime offer available for everyone appeared (at $299), which is still going on.
Since then, Turbine has been offering a discounted lifetime subscription for $199 on several occasions (e. g. for pre-ordering the expansion).
If this game was free, I wouldn't play it. If I have to buy an expansion every 3-6 months or "The Old Republic 2" (like Guild Wars), I wont be playing it. People need to realize what exactly they're paying for when there's a subscription cost. Everything requires an upkeep. I'm happier knowing my money/month goes to the staff in charge of the game, knowing full well that while I'm supplying money, they're still continuing to update and progress the game further.
For me to ever consider buying a MMO game, it would have to be option d, like Guild Wars (though I haven't bought Guild Wars yet, but I have considered it). However, like Jae said, the sad truth is that it will most likely be option b, Like WoW. :(
I am some-what interested in this game, so preferably I'd like it to be either C or D. I'm not a big fan of the monthly fees.
Just an FYI, Blizzard does not make 150 million a month, because the cost of subscription is different in various places and not everyone has the same options (i.e. in China you pay by the hour).

From Riches to Rags: The Life of a Black Country Entrepreneur & Charity Fundraiser (Paperback)Barton Hill History Group, Geoff Hill
Paperback Published: 18/10/2006
- In stock
Click & Collect From your local shop
Geoff Hill's autobiography describes his rise from the back streets of Brierley Hill during the 1930s to the running of a successful Black Country business, and then back to rags again - or the rag trade - when he founded a chain of charity shops. In between were his stints as a gnome vendor, champion cyclist, pub landlord and encyclopaedia salesman. Geoff Hill was born in 1927 in Brierley Hill. He easily obtained a scholarship to King Edward VI School in Stourbridge, but had to leave at the age of fifteen in order to contribute to the family income. Geoff's passion for cycling led him to take a job in a bicycle shop, and to semi-professional cycling: at the age of seventeen he became the British Under Eighteen Champion. This obsession with bike racing continued until Geoff was called up for National Service as a 'Bevin Boy'. Hard physical labour down the pit brought with it back problems, bringing an end to his cycling career. Restless, and always searching for a new challenge, Geoff spent the late '40s and '50s in a bewildering variety of jobs - from selling the "Encyclopedia Britannica", Bettaware and typewriters to supervising industrial canteens, running a pub and a grocery shop, and even selling garden gnomes. Finally he settled down with the opening of Geoff Hill Electrical - now the Black Country's most successful independent electrical retailer. Geoff has always supported local charities, primarily Mary Stephens' Hospice. Under his guidance the Hospice Trading Company was set up; it now runs a chain of charity shops which have raised over GBP1 million. He has recently set up the Geoff Hill Charitable Trust, devoted to charitable work in the Black Country - and despite being semi-retired these days Geoff is busier than he's ever been.

Solid-liquid-gas state transducer: A study of an electro-mechanical system75(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.2431184View Description Hide Description
We describe a transducer that is sensitive to the state of its environment (gas, liquid, or solid). It consists of a piezoelectric bimorph immersed in a medium. A phase change of the medium affects the freedom of motion of the sensor, and thus changes its electrical properties. The observed behavior of the device is explained by a simple model. The device is easy to realize, can be analyzed theoretically, illustrates several important physics principles, and is well suited for an experiment in an intermediate-level teaching lab.
The design and construction of a cost-efficient confocal laser scanning microscope75(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.2388973View Description Hide Description
The optical dissection ability of confocal microscopy makes it a powerful tool for biological materials. However, the cost and complexity of confocal scanning laser microscopy hinders its wide application in education. We describe the construction of a simplified confocal scanning laser microscope and demonstrate three-dimensional projection based on cost-efficient commercial hardware, together with available open source software.
Lissajous curves and semiclassical theory: The two-dimensional harmonic oscillator75(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.2402157View Description Hide Description
The semiclassical treatment of the two-dimensional harmonic oscillator provides an instructive example of the relation between classical motion and the quantum mechanical energy spectrum. We extend previous work on the anisotropicoscillator with incommensurate frequencies and the isotropic oscillator to the case with commensurate frequencies for which the Lissajous curves appear as classical periodic orbits. Because of the three different scenarios depending on the ratio of its frequencies, the two-dimensional harmonic oscillator offers a unique way to explicitly analyze the role of symmetries in classical and quantum mechanics.
Optical Doppler shift measurement using a rotating mirror75(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.2404958View Description Hide Description
Optical Doppler shift experiments are not simple because the light source cannot easily be moved in a sufficiently smooth and uniform manner to keep the level of noise well below that of the signal. Thus, most Doppler shift experiments are performed with sound or microwaves. Instead of using a moving mirror to produce a moving light source, we use a rotating mirror in which one beam is reflected from the advancing side and the other beam is reflected from the receding part of a rotating mirror. This arrangement can overcome many noise generating effects.
Fluctuations near a phase transition in liquid crystals75(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.2410017View Description Hide Description
The increase in molecular orientational fluctuations as a phase transition is approached is an interesting and dramatic phenomenon, but associated undergraduate experiments are rare. We present an advanced undergraduate experiment on light scattering from the molecular orientational fluctuations in liquid crystals. In the high-temperature, disordered phase of a liquid crystal, small clusters of parallel-oriented molecules form spontaneously and scatter light. The size of the fluctuations and the consequent light scattering increase dramatically as the temperature is reduced approaching the weakly first-order phase transition to the ordered liquid crystal phase. We discuss a simplified theory that captures the essential physics.
A pendulum experiment on added mass and the principle of equivalence75(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.2360993View Description Hide Description
The concept of added mass in fluid mechanics has been known for many years. A familiar example is the accelerated motion of a sphere through an ideal (inviscid and irrotational) fluid, which has an added mass equal to one-half the mass of the fluid displaced. The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum in a vacuum is independent of its mass because of the equivalence of gravitational and inertial masses. In contrast, in a fluid both buoyancy and added mass affect the period. We present experimental results on simple pendula of different materials oscillating in various fluids. The results agree fairly well with the results obtained for the added mass in an ideal fluid.
Electromagnetics from a quasistatic perspective75(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.2397095View Description Hide Description
Quasistatic models provide intermediate levels of electromagnetictheory in between statics and the full set of Maxwell'sequations. Quasistatics is easier than general electrodynamics and in some ways more similar to statics, but exhibits more interesting physics and more important applications than statics. Quasistatics is frequently used in electromagnetic modeling, and the pedagogical potential of electromagnetic simulations gives additional support for the importance of quasistatics. Quasistatics is introduced in a way that fits into the standard textbook presentations of electrodynamics.
Feynman's wobbling plate75(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.2402156View Description Hide Description
In the book Surely You Are Joking, Mr. Feynman! Richard Feynman tells a story of a Cornell cafeteria plate being tossed into the air. As the plate spun, it wobbled. Feynman noticed a relation between the two motions. He solved the motion of the plate by using the Lagrangian approach. This solution didn't satisfy him. He wanted to understand the motion of the plate by analyzing the motion of its individual particles and the forces acting on them. He was successful, but he didn't tell us how he did it. We provide an elementary explanation for the two-to-one ratio of wobble to spin frequencies, based on an analysis of the motion of the particles and the forces acting on them. We also demonstrate the power of numerical simulation and computer animation to provide insight into a physical phenomenon and guidance on how to do the analysis.
Transmission and scattering by an absorptive potential75(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.2388972View Description Hide Description
Transmission and scattering problems involving complex potentials are important in physics, in particular in describing nuclear collisions. We describe many pedagogical features of transmission in one dimension and scattering and absorption cross sections in three dimensions for a rectangular absorptive potential and compare the results with scattering from real barriers and a hard sphere. For a given energy in one dimension we show that the absorption reaches a maximum for a critical value of the absorption strength and then monotonically decreases with an increase in the absorption strength. An infinitely absorptive well becomes almost fully reflective and thus is similar to an infinitely high barrier. Similar results are found in three dimensions. We show that the absorption cross section in three dimensions diverges at a threshold energy, which is of critical importance for exothermic reactions.
Accurate measurement of the position and velocity of a falling object75(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.2423039View Description Hide Description
An object accelerates while it falls under the influence of the gravitational force. By using two sensors a precise and automated measurement of the velocity can be obtained. The analysis of these measurements may be insufficient if air resistance is important. We discuss how by increasing the number of sensors we can determine the velocity, terminal velocity, and acceleration due to gravity.
Path integrals and wavepacket evolution for damped mechanical systems75(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.2423040View Description Hide Description
Damped mechanical systems with various forms of damping are quantized using the path integral formalism. In particular, we obtain the path integral kernel for the linearly damped harmonic oscillator and a particle in a uniform gravitational field with linearly or quadratically damped motion. In each case, we study the evolution of Gaussian wave packets and discuss the characteristic features that help us distinguish between different types of damping. For quadratic damping we show the connection of the action and equation of motion to a zero-dimensional version of a scalar field theory. We also demonstrate that the equation of motion for quadratic damping can be identified as a geodesic equation in a fictitious two-dimensional space.
Nonequivalent representations of canonical commutation relations in quantum mechanics: The case of the Aharonov-Bohm effect75(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.2360994View Description Hide Description
We stress the role of nonequivalent representations of the canonical commutation relations in quantum mechanics. Such representations occur when the space accessible to the system is not simply connected. An example is the magnetic Aharonov-Bohm effect, which can be interpreted in terms of nonequivalent representations, without explicitly invoking the vector potential in the region accessible to the electrons.

Modeling student thinking: An example from special relativity75(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.2410013View Description Hide Description
Our understanding of the nature of student ideas informs our instructional and research agendas. In this paper, I characterize student ideas in terms of five observable properties (determinacy, coherence, context-dependence, variability, and malleability) and describe how those observable properties correspond to the "misconceptions" and "pieces" models of student reasoning. I then analyze instructional materials and student thinking in a particular topic area (special relativity) in terms of each of those two models. I show that specific instructional strategies reflect specific theoretical orientations, and explore the extent to which observed student behavior corresponds to predictions made by the theoretical models. The analysis suggests that while both the misconceptions and pieces models are flexible enough to accommodate all of the data, some aspects of student thinking seem best described in terms of pieces, and others seem better characterized as misconceptions. The purpose of the analysis is to illustrate the effect of theoretical orientation on instruction, instructional research, and curriculum development.

Time (in)dependence in general relativity75(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.2426351View Description Hide Description
We clarify the conditions for Birkhoff's theorem, that is, time independence in general relativity. We work primarily at the linearized level where guidance from electrodynamics is particularly useful. As a bonus, we also review how the equivalence principle results from general relativity. The basic time-independent solutions due to Schwarzschild and Kerr provide concrete illustrations of the theorem. Only familiarity with Maxwell'sequations and tensor analysis is required.
Nodes of wavefunctions75(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.2404960View Description Hide Description

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) - The leaders of Mideast rivals Syria and Saudi Arabia are meeting to discuss rising tension in Lebanon that threatens to topple its government and spark unrest.
The two countries back opposing factions in Lebanon and are concerned a U.N. tribunal's investigation of the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri could split its shaky coalition government.
Saudi Arabia was close to Hariri and supports political forces loyal to his son, Saad, who is Lebanon's current prime minister. Syria has been accused in Hariri's killing and backs Hezbollah.
The militant group shares power in Lebanon's government.
Sunday's meeting in Riyadh is focusing on expectations Hezbollah members will be indicted in the 2005 assassination.

I'm currently in the process of migrating a system that runs a minimal install of ubuntu 10.04 from the system it was on to a VM. The approach i'm taking is to run remastersys to create a bootable iso, running it on VMware player and then using it to install to a virtual hard disk.
I've gotten the iso made, and it boots, but selecting the install option throws me into a command line shell gives me an error reading
(gksudo:3160): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display - presumably cause ubiquity is a GUI application which relies on GTK, which is backed up by what the forums for the software says
How would/could i transfer the install onto a hard disk? I obviously cannot use traditional offline tools, but could i use something like partimage to image the disk?

Harriet R. Raby, 59
Published: Saturday, March 12, 2011 at 9:28 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 12, 2011 at 9:28 a.m.
HENDERSONVILLE — Harriet Ray Raby, 59, of Hendersonville passed away on Thursday, March 10, 2011, at the Brian Center, Hendersonville.

Ray's Take Communication is the key to avoiding conflict in any aspect of life. And retirement issues are no exception.
As more baby boomers prepare to retire, they're increasingly facing complicated negotiations with spouses. Many live in dual-income households. And while each partner may have very specific ideas about when and how to retire, they often avoid discussions about retirement altogether.
On a Saturday in February 1962, Owen gets ticked when he sees that Gravesend Academy school psychiatrist, Dr. Dolder, has again left his VW Beetle in the circular driveway by the Main Academy Building. The Zurich-born shrink is known for driving the easily walkable distance from his home to that of the headmaster. Where he'd have a few drinks, then walk home, to prove how responsible he was.
HOOVER, Ala. – In another year and another circumstance, Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen might have spent all his time at SEC Media Days answering questions about having to replace Dak Prescott at quarterback.

NEW YORK (AP) — McDonald's says offering breakfast around the clock helped jolt its sales.
Sales at the world's biggest hamburger chain rose 5.7 percent in the U.S. for the final three months of 2015, boosted by unseasonably warm weather and the launch of an all-day breakfast menu in October.

OAK BROOK, Ill. (AP) — McDonald's says it will not pursue spinning off its real estate assets.
The world's largest hamburger chain, which is in the midst of a turnaround plan, had been considering forming a real estate investment trust partly because of the potential tax advantages it could provide.

NEW YORK (AP) — McDonald's sales edged up at established U.S. locations during the third quarter, snapping a streak of about two years of quarterly declines.
The world's largest burger chain also said sales rose 4 percent on a global basis at established locations. In the U.S., the figure rose 0.9 percent, marking the first increase since the third quarter of 2013. The bump was the result of a higher average check, however, which offset a decline in traffic. That means McDonald's still has a long way to go in fixing its business.
The best indicator that the national recession was lifting in Memphis was the emergence this year of numerous plans for new hotels and motels.
But aside from Whitehaven's 450-room, $90 million Guest House at Graceland, most of the planned projects are small. And the smaller hotels do little to resolve the long-standing chicken-and-egg question about which should come first – more hotel rooms or more and better convention space.
MEMPHIS ON A PLATE. Presenting the fifth helping of the Tasteful List, updated for 2015 – an alphabetical survey of local flavor in one decidedly local man's opinion.
Could I get another napkin over here?
As season openers go, it had just about everything: a big crowd, with more than 41,000 showing up at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium; spirited tailgating on Tiger Lane; and really cool replica rings given out to the first 3,500 fans in celebration of the team's 10-win season, share of the American Athletic Conference title and victory in the Miami Beach Bowl.
The recognition has come, and it has been fun and, well, not so fun.
As a quarterback who finished eighth in the Heisman Trophy voting last year, Dak Prescott's game broke out and was a big reason Mississippi State reached No. 1 in the polls and finished with 10 wins.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The biggest drop in airline fares in nearly two decades slowed consumer inflation in July following two months of slightly faster gains.

Country music isn't the only big draw in Nashville these days. The city is at the top of its food game and has become a popular destination for food lovers across the country.
But where do you go when you want to experience the best of the best?
WASHINGTON (AP) – Rising gasoline prices pushed inflation up modestly in June, leaving overall consumer prices higher than they were a year earlier for the first time since December.
Economists say the tick up in consumer prices makes it more likely the Federal Reserve will end a policy of keeping short-term interest rates near zero for more than six years. "Rebounding inflation combined with solid employment growth will likely lead the Fed to raise rates in September," said Gregory Daco, head of U.S. macroeconomics at Oxford Economics.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Following a deadly listeria outbreak in ice cream, the Justice Department is warning food companies that they could face criminal and civil penalties if they poison their customers.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – The tech industry has been saying for years that smartphones would make traditional wallets obsolete. But most people still use cash or plastic when they shop in stores.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Prices at the wholesale level rose at the fastest pace in nearly 3 years in May, pushed higher by a sharp jump in the cost of gasoline and a record increase in the price eggs related to an outbreak of avian influenza. But outside of increases in volatile food and energy costs, core inflation remained moderate.
Five years ago, Jim Napolitano left Hillwood Country Club in Nashville to become general manager at Chickasaw Country Club. The economy was still wheezing and Chickasaw, which received its charter in 1922 – or two years after the 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote – was trapped in a time warp.
Claudia Rawn is used to talking about science, so when asked to speak about women in the STEM disciplines, she was a bit out of her comfort zone.

SUFFERING FOOLISH. Just when you think your cold is getting better, it snot. If you think that's bad, I'm just getting started.
As I write this, Thanksgiving weekend is winding down and my cold, a gift from my grandchildren, is just getting warmed up. Nora's gone to church, the dogs have fled to another room, I'm out of Kleenex, and the last sneezing exhibition numbered 18. Not feeling much like writing a column, I opened my email and saw these from my friend, Gene:
Ray's take: Once you reach age 70 1/2, you are required by law to begin taking required minimum distributions (RMD) from your tax-advantaged retirement account, or accounts, each year.
This is a time when you need to take advantage of all the tools available to make this as simple as possible as well as to allow the volatility of the markets to work for you.
In this, the last of the season's weekly college football notebooks, we take a quick spin around the SEC now that the regular season is finished.
SEC championship game: Sure, a lot of people picked Alabama to be in next Saturday's game at the Georgia Dome. But be honest now, did you have their lone loss coming at Ole Miss? No, didn't think so.
"One of the greatest drives in Alabama history, probably."
Those were coach Nick Saban's words after quarterback Blake Sims led the Crimson Tide on a 15-play, 76-yard put-away drive against Mississippi State. Before the drive, the lead was 19-13 Alabama. After it, 25-13. Though the Bulldogs would score a touchdown near game's end and try an onside kick – Alabama won 25-20 – it was that drive that could be the defining memory when the College Football Playoff Selection Committee actually selects and seeds the final four.
OXFORD, Miss. – There wasn't a good place to watch that fateful play near game's end. Whether on the sideline, in the stands, or following on TV, the result was going to be the same and for all members of Rebel Nation it was going to hurt like hell.
NEW YORK (AP) – McDonald's wants to explain why its burgers may not rot and that there are no worms in its beef.
The world's biggest hamburger chain is confronting unappetizing questions as part of a U.S. campaign to beat back perceptions that it serves Frankenfood. The company has run similar campaigns in Canada and Australia and said Monday it's bringing the effort to its flagship market.
Call the doctor, the sports doctor. Because the collective temperature of Mid-South college football fans is at unsafe levels.
Mississippi State and Ole Miss are undefeated and tied for third in the Associated Press poll. The historically downtrodden University of Memphis football program just blasted preseason American Athletic Conference favorite Cincinnati on the road and hung with both Ole Miss and UCLA.
Historic stuff. Unbelievable stuff. That's the short description for Ole Miss and Mississippi State sharing the No. 3 ranking in this week's Associated Press poll and the top spot, with Auburn, in the SEC West standings.
We seem to have settled the chicken-and-egg argument about more hotel rooms in Memphis.
And with financing now available, here come the rooms and with them opportunities beyond the question about which comes first – hotel rooms or more conference and meeting space.
MEMPHIS ON A PLATE. Presenting the fourth edition of the Tasteful List, updated for 2014 – second, third and fourth helpings, this year's specials, delicious memories – an alphabetical survey of local flavor in one decidedly local man's opinion.
First off, I don't believe everything that Alabama wide receiver Amari Cooper says.
"Coach Lane Kiffin is a great coach and a great person to be around," Cooper said of the Crimson Tide's new offensive coordinator. "Coach is a likable guy."
Soon, Chick-fil-A might be serving new breakfast items like chicken & waffles nationwide.
The chain is asking customers in Memphis to help take its new breakfast menu, which includes a handful of new items, for a spin. Customers have told the chain they want a bigger breakfast menu, and as a result Chick-fil-A is testing five new entrees: egg white chicken grill, Greek yogurt parfait, multigrain oatmeal, chicken and waffles, and cinnamon swirls.
Confidence does not always take the predictable path.
The 2013 Mississippi State Bulldogs were heartbroken over the one that got away at Auburn, and reveled in the one that didn't in the Egg Bowl victory over Ole Miss in Starkville.
Ole Miss quarterback Bo Wallace enters his senior season with a chance to make history, a chance for his name to have the kind of staying power that would have Rebels fans tossing the name "Bo" around The Grove for generations, the way they do with names like Archie and Eli.
WASHINGTON (AP) – A sharply divided Supreme Court ruled Monday that some companies with religious objections can avoid the contraceptives requirement in President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, the first time the high court has declared that businesses can hold religious views under federal law.
IF WE DON'T CARE, NO ONE ELSE WILL. Longtime friend and Nashville marketing maven, David Bohan, answered my column about oxymoronic Nashville barbecue with his own column "Marketing Matters" in The Tennessean last week.
AUGUSTA, Ga. – Overheard in the gallery:
"Where you staying tonight?"
"With you. Didn't they tell you?"
"You got any cousins coming?"

Fundraising is a noble profession. As a fundraiser you meet some of the best people around. You provide people with information and opportunities that allow them to pursue things that are important to them: "things" that really can't be bought. You can't buy an end to world hunger, gun violence, AIDS or domestic violence: you have to give. When you ask people to give you bring people together with projects, programs and institutions that align with their beliefs. You help people realize some of their highest aspirations.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The Supreme Court seemed divided Tuesday over whether employers' religious beliefs can free them from a part of the new health care law that requires that they provide coverage of birth control for employees at no extra charge.

More than 1,000 years ago, a group of Ukrainian women gathered in a small house for a very important task. They had spent the day spiritually preparing for it, avoiding gossip, quietly attending to family matters and cooking a hearty family meal.
Ray's Take If it's not another country defaulting on their debts it's political gridlock on economic issues here or ominous predictions about the Federal Reserve. The news seems to be featuring more than its share of scary economic news these days.

For Brent Barrett of Start2Finish Events, small-business ownership is a marathon, not a sprint.

WASHINGTON (AP) – The Supreme Court agreed Tuesday to referee another dispute over President Barack Obama's health care law, whether businesses can use religious objections to escape a requirement to cover birth control for employees.
It's impressive that No. 1 Alabama has allowed an average of 9.3 points per game this season – best in the land. It's maybe more impressive that in going 11-0, 7-0 in the SEC, the Crimson Tide has given up just 12 touchdowns. And more impressive still that only six of those TDs have been scored by teams other than Texas A&M with someone at quarterback not named Johnny Manziel.
NEW YORK (AP) – Small businesses that produce dog treats, toys, eggs and compost are vying for a chance to have a commercial during the Super Bowl.

Ask Oprah's All Stars - That's Embarrassing!
Suze and Dr. Phil, how do I cope with my lower income lifestyle?Suze Orman: So here's the real question is that you were abusing your money when you had it. Who needs three or four cars? Two needs all the junk that you had? You know who needs something like that, a very insecure person. You were making it so that your money defined how you happened to appear to everybody and now you think you're a nobody because you didn't have any money. Here's the key: you were somebody with money and you'll be a somebody without money.
Dr. Phil: let me cut through the financial part of this because I don't think you can withstand a Suze Orman audit.
Back in the old booming Texas, you'd see all these guys rolling around town like they were some oil barren and you know, they couldn't afford to pay attention.
Let me give you a suggestion here. Really and I'm being really really serious about this. You need to send out a blast e-mail and tell [your friends] to watch this show and then everybody will be caught up to date and here's the thing. If they were your friends when you could afford to pick up 2,000 dollar bar tabs.
Then you've lost nothing because you've had nothing - kind of like your financial situation, some interesting parallels, but your young enough to get a fresh start. Do an autopsy on what happened so you don't repeat this. If you get some money together and you spend it like a drunken sailor on shore leave, then you're not gonna have it, just letting emotions run you. Decide what really matters in your life and build on strength instead of on this house of cards.

I have a few stick-on child safety locks, such as this one found on Amazon.
When it comes time to remove them, what should I do to avoid destroying the finish on the appliances? They are stuck on really well and won't budge by hand.

Try removing it first without removing the foam backing. You can dissolve the foam backing with constant application of WD-40 and scrubbing with a wet wash cloth. We had put some of that foam sticky tape on an old apartment door once and I found that by spraying it with WD-40 and scrubbing it, I was able to remove the foam tape and residue easily without removing any underlying paint or finish.
I had these on painted wooden cabinet doors. I slid dental floss behind the plastic part which cut the plastic latch off, leaving the foam adhered to the door. Then I peeled the foam off by hand and it did no damage. I couldn't believe how easy it was! I thought it was stuck for good.
If the adhesive is 3M VHB (Very High Bond), which I think is what they use for the 'command strips', and it doesn't have a foam backing on it, you can just put firm pressure on it to try to twist it. Hold it there under pressure, and it'll slowly release and pop loose after a few seconds.
If it's foam backed, this won't work, as the foam will absorb the force, keeping it from being applied to the adhesive.
Depending on the condition of the surface, how well the surface was prepped, and how long it's been left on (which I'm guessing is months), it's possible it might damage things -- I've had a number of times when I've taken paint off of walls with the stuff. Hard plastics and shinier finishs seem to hold up, so most appliances should be okay.
I used the pointed end to a bottle cap opener and used it to pry off the base. An old fashion can opener the one that is pointed and makes a triangle opening. Separate the two top and bottom as if you were opening the drawer. The bottom piece has a square shape where the top snaps into. I used a metal bottle opener the pointed end and pried it off my cabinet drawer. It worked and took off the sticky part too. It worked so well I was able to reuse the latch and place it in the correct spot on the cabinet drawer. The first time I placed one I placed incorrectly on my drawer. The top was on my first drawer and the bottom was on my second drawer. Did not like this set up. Now the top is on the side of the drawer where the wall is and the bottom is on the drawer itself. My son can't get into this drawer.
Use a sharp toothless knife to cut the sticky part slowly. Takes 1 minute each
Use a hair dryer to soften the glue/backing and a paint scraper to pry/push the glue off.

Forged Comment Letters Sent to Regulators Writing Swaps Rules
Forged comment letters purportedly from an H.J. Heinz Co. executive, a Burger King Co. franchise and at least five other Arkansas-based officials or businesses were sent to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Some of the letters to the agency, which is writing rules for derivatives trading, contain identical passages criticizing banks for their "cartel-like control" of the $583 trillion swaps market. They include signatures from a circuit court judge, a county sheriff and a mental health counselor. All were forgeries, according to interviews conducted by Bloomberg News.
The letters were among 152 formal comments received by the CFTC on a proposed rule that would limit the ownership of banks and other financial firms in clearinghouses meant to reduce risk in the over-the-counter swaps market. The proposal stems from the Dodd-Frank finance-regulatory overhaul enacted in July.
"This is completely fraudulent," said Terra Brace, treasurer of Springdale, Arkansas-based L.W. Clark, Inc., which operates nine Burger King franchises. "This is not our letterhead. It looks like someone has just stolen a Burger King logo and stuck our address underneath."
The letters, which were posted on the CFTC's website, carry no clues about their true origin. In response to questions from Bloomberg News, a commission spokesman said yesterday that the agency had removed at least one letter and was checking the authenticity of others.
A letter supposedly from Wayne Callahan, president of global Wal-Mart Stores Inc. business for Heinz, told regulators that the rule they were considering was not restrictive enough. "It is likely that banks will try to exploit such a loophole to continue their cartel-like control of the derivatives market," the letter said.
Unknown Person
"Heinz has determined that the letter was written by an unknown person or entity. This letter falsely uses the name and title of a Heinz executive," Michael Mullen, Heinz's vice president of corporate and government affairs, said in an e-mail to Bloomberg News. "The letter was written and filed with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission without the knowledge or consent of the Heinz executive."
Dallas County, Arkansas, Sheriff Donny Ford, asked whether he'd sent an opinion to Washington about derivatives, said, "What's that?" After reviewing a faxed copy of the letter, he said in a telephone interview, "That's not my signature. This is not my letterhead, either."
'Not My Signature'
Washington County, Arkansas judge Marilyn Edwards, whose name appeared on one of the letters, said she didn't send it. "I have had nothing to do with that," she said. "That is certainly not my signature on the bottom. I am not a very happy camper about this."
Edwards said she had given a copy of the forged letter to the prosecutor in her county. She said she was particularly concerned that Arkansas Senators Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor were copied at the bottom of the letter. "It makes those folks think that's the way we want them to vote," she said.
Other Arkansas residents who said that letters carrying their names were forgeries included Lance Lee, a lawyer based in Texarkana, William P. Allison, a lawyer based in Little Rock, and Dan Moore, a Fordyce mental health counselor.
Political campaigns, public relations firms and consultants sometimes use form letters to generate apparent grass-roots support for their points of view from individuals, small businesses and citizen groups.
Climate Change Letters
A case of fraudulent letters surfaced a year ago during the debate over energy and climate change legislation. U.S. Representative Edward Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat, said at a hearing on Oct. 29, 2009 that his investigators found more than a dozen forged letters sent to U.S. lawmakers as part of a campaign run by the Washington-based political consulting firm Bonner & Associates, under contract with the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity.
Some of the letters from Arkansas contained the same wording as at least six other letters signed by people in Rhode Island.
The author of one of the Rhode Island letters said she sent a copy of the letter after receiving the text from Advocacy Solutions, a Providence-based public affairs firm.
"We should be doing as much as we can to control the power of big banks, and closing the loophole in the derivatives clearinghouses is incredibly important," said Kate Brock, an organizer for Ocean State Action, a Cranston, Rhode Island-based group that describes itself as pro-union.
Brock said the text of her letter came from a "sign-on letter" circulated by Advocacy Solutions. Frank McMahon, president of Advocacy Solutions, didn't respond to requests for comment.
Jan. 14 Deadline
The derivatives rule in question was proposed in October by CFTC commissioners, who requested public comments by Nov. 17. The CFTC must complete a rulemaking by Jan. 14.
Derivatives are financial contracts whose value is derived from stocks, bonds, loans, currencies and commodities, or linked to specific events such as changes in interest rates or the weather.
The Dodd-Frank law aims to move over-the-counter swaps trades to clearinghouses, in order to reduce risk in the financial system by requiring parties to post collateral. The law directs regulators to write rules for the clearinghouses to limit conflicts of interest.
The CFTC's proposed regulation would allow clearinghouses to choose between two types of ownership restrictions. Under the first, there would be a 20 percent cap on a clearinghouse member's equity stake or voting control and a 40 percent cap on the collective stake that members and restricted non-member companies could hold in one clearinghouse.
Restricted Companies
The restricted companies would include bank holding companies with at least $50 billion in assets, non-bank financial companies supervised by the Federal Reserve, swap dealers, major swap users and their affiliates.
The second option would impose a 5 percent cap on the ownership stake and control any clearinghouse member or non-member could have. The second option wouldn't include an aggregate cap.
The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, which represents banks, securities firms and other companies, said in a Nov. 12 comment letter to the CFTC and the Securities and Exchange Commission that it does not believe there is a requirement in the law for regulators to impose aggregate ownership limits.
'Beyond What is Necessary'
The proposed regulations "go beyond what is necessary to effectively mitigate conflicts of interest, and would have the effects of limiting access to necessary capital and stifling innovation," the association said in the letter.
Bloomberg LP, parent of Bloomberg News, intends to register as a swap execution facility, Ben Macdonald, global head of fixed income at Bloomberg LP, said in a Nov. 17 comment letter to the CFTC on the proposed regulation. The Bloomberg LP letter doesn't comment specifically about the proposed ownership limits for clearinghouses.
The seven forged public comment letters identified by Bloomberg News oppose the second part of the proposal.
"I urge the commission to eliminate the 5 percent alternative, to ensure that banks cannot use it as back door to continue their dominance of clearing facilities, continuing their high profits in an anticompetitive market," reads the letter purportedly from Moore. The letter claiming to be from Allison includes the identical sentence.
"I have zero interest in the politics of the issue, and I'm really quite ignorant on it,' Moore said in a telephone interview. ''It didn't originate from me."
Allison said in an e-mail to Bloomberg News that the letter is a "forgery."

My company just changed it's old firewall (Zyxel ZyWALL 70) with a new one (Zyxel ZyWALL USG 300).
Everything seems to be working fine but sometimes, in a non-periodic span of time, connectivity seems to drop.
Web navigation stops, ftp uploads get interrupted and email checking fails.
EDIT: The interruption lasts 10-15 seconds.
Everything works if we plug the old firewall, so we are trying to understand what might cause the problem.
Connection is not dial-up with firewall but via ethernet with an external modem (unchanged from previous configuration).
Accordingly to log, WAN interface is never shut down.
How can we track down the issue?
Please post a comment to this question if you need any further information.

You mean the Cocktail Hats?
Then maybe:
The list is taken from here.
I think you could call them Derby Hats (although this is also a synonym for bowler hat when applied to men).
Depending on which side of the pond you stand, that could mean either

I can't say enough about this meal! Is is my new favorite restaurant. If you haven't been here, RUN to try it! I'm sorry I've spent years in the dark, and not eating the sublime food at this place. Roberto is a masterful chef who has trained his kitchen staff well. The front of the house is attentive and knowledgeable as they should be in a fine establishment. They, along with Roberto, made us feel very welcome. And what incredible atmosphere to enhance this delicious food! Dine under the stars, among torches, candles, and decorative lights, in a delightful courtyard, within an art gallery. This was nothing short of a perfect dining experience. I can't wait to go back. Have the nut encrusted sea bass, peppered prawns, voila salad, squash blossom/ mushroom Napoleon. You will be saying "mmmm" all the way through and then finish it off with the chocolate bomb in vanilla sauce!! No dieting here! The people in the next table were ordering their dishes plain grilled with plain rice and vegetables- the kitchen was happy to accommodate them. I was hoping it was due to some nasty food allergies and not because they were scared. But I thought it was noteworthy to mention to show how willing to please the customer they are at this restaurant. Anyone who is a foodie and likes 5 star dining will be giving applause to voila!

ST. LOUIS (AP) _ A 21-year-old suspect is hospitalized after being shot by a St. Louis police officer.
It happened late Thursday. The suspect is in stable condition with a gunshot wound to his left arm. Names of the suspect and the officer were not released.
Police say the incident began when a Mobile Reserve officer approached the man, who ran through a gangway, jumped a fence and dropped a handgun.
The suspect then allegedly picked up the gun and pointed it at the officer, who fired, striking the suspect in the arm. The suspect was captured a short time later, hiding beneath a porch.
Police say the man was found with a small amount of crack cocaine and marijuana. A semiautomatic handgun was also found in the area.
The officer was not hurt.

We've been hearing rumors that 20-year-old Lincoln Road staple Van Dyke Cafe was possibly closing, but now the speculation has come to an end. Miami.com reports that the cafe, which has been around since 1994, is set to close at an unspecified date later this month. It's said to be replaced with yet another shopping boutique - likely an Abercrombie & Fitch. The team behind Van Dyke Cafe is currently discussing whether they plan to find a new home for the New American bistro or leave it as a Lincoln Road legend.
