It was both an amazing and heartbreaking week at the mailbox. My most anticipated read showed up and thirteen ARCs were "lost." Sort of a win/lose situation. I also got a surprise book in the mail.
As I'm not expecting any other books to head my way anytime soon, these may be the last bookish photos you'll see on the blog for awhile, unless I decide to try and request Ten by Gretchen McNeil – one of the missing ARCs I traded for.
Anyway, first the good news….
I knew that author Rachel Vincent was sending me a couple copies of Before I Wake! What I didn't realize is just how loudly I'd scream when I got the package in my mailbox earlier this week.
What I attempted to say: "I got it! I got it! It's here, oh my gosh it's here! I can't believe it's really here!"
What I think I said was: "Eeeeee. Eeeeee. EEEEE! EEEEE! EEEEEEEEEEE!" I'm told I sounded a little like a dolphin before my voice hit glass-shattering octaves.
So, yes. I was very excited. And yes, I picked it up instantly. And yes it was every bit as amazing as I hoped it would be. And so much more. Anyway…
Credit for mailbox sharing goes to TSS
I also received a few other books that I'm super excited about. On the top of the pile is Confessions of the Sullivan Sisters by Natalie Standiford. I received a surprise copy of the book in the mail and it's signed by the author! It sounds so wickedly delicious and I definitely plan on reading it very soon. Though I think I will buy the eBook so I don't risk damaging the lovely signed one.
Next up in the pile is Carnival of Souls by Melissa Marr. I received the ARC thanks to the seriously amazing and generous Nat, who saw my trailer post for this book on Facebook and offered to send it to me. I had planned on returning the favor with a few of the ARCs I was getting in the mail through a trade, but due to poor postal etiquette all those books are gone. Forever.
The next book on the pile is Over You by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Krauss. I love these authors and have read all their co-authored books except the sequel to The Nanny Diaries. I am super excited to get to read this early. But at the same time I am heartbroken.
I had a few trades with a blogger and all ARCs were going to be shipped out together. That was supposed to be fourteen ARCs not just the one. I received the large box. Empty except for the one book. There was a hole in the side, but it wasn't big enough for all the books to slip out, but it's very possible someone reached in and pulled them out. Because all that was in the box is this one book.
I'm missing thirteen books I traded for – Ten, The Crown of Embers, Because it is My Blood, Glass Heart, Time Between Us, Erasing Time, Break My Heart 1,000 Times, Beta, A Fractured Light, Lost Girl, Pushing the Limits, Suburban Strange and Don't Turn Around. Yeah, I'm devastated. Because even if the post office reimburses the blogger I traded with and they give me the monetary equivalent or thirteen new ARCs, they won't be these books.
[UPDATE: It was Time Between Us and not Such a Rush that was missing.]
Anyway, before I start sobbing again…
Here are the books I have in my reading pile this week.
(June 10 – June 16, 2012)
First up on the pile is Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. I fell in love with this book the second I saw the trailer the other week when I was creating my trailer post. I immediately headed over to Amazon to pre-order a copy and noticed three eNovellas, which I bought, too.
Oh and then I decided to check out the book's description. Because trailer love does not necessarily mean it would be a book I'd actually love. But the trailer didn't lie. The description makes this book sound so unbelievably wickedly awesome.
I can't wait to meet Celaena and see how she fares in the competition to become a royal assassin. Working in the salt mines sounds difficult but competing to be a killer in order to earn her freedom sounds absolutely deadly.
And it seems there may be a love triangle between Celaena and the Prince and the Captain of the Guard. I'm very curious to see which "team" I'll be on – the bad boy, potentially evil Prince or the challenging and "gruff" Captain.
Throne of Glass definitely sounds like an epic start to the series. Between the danger, the battles, the mystery and the love story, I can't wait to read it. And I'm super glad I discovered it on NetGalley and was approved so that I don't have to.
Next up on the pile is Onyx by Jennifer L. Armentrout which is a "back on the pile" read. I had added it to the pile a few weeks ago but had difficulty getting it onto my eReader because the file size was too large and it couldn't be emailed to the device. And I can't read books on the computer.
But I have finally been able to get it added to my eReader so I can't wait to read it this week. I've missed Daemon and Katy and I am dying to find out where this story takes them.
As I already rambled about this the first time I added it to the pile, I won't go on for quite as long, but I will just say that Daemon Black is one of my favorite characters to love to love and love to hate. He is wicked, he is charming, he is sexy and he is absolutely maddeningly frustrating. Yep, he's kind of perfect.
But I am really worried how things might end in this book. For Katy, but even more so for Daemon. Especially with the Department of Defense hanging around. And especially for the fact that "not everyone will survive the lies," according to the description.
Wishful Thinking reads:
Carnival of Souls by Melissa Marr is my wishful thinking read of the week. I am going through Melissa Marr withdrawal since it's been ages since I last read one of her books. And now that I have this early copy in hand of her next book, I'm dying to read it. She's a wicked awesome writer and I would love to dive into this book this week. There's no way I can, but I really wish I could…. But maybe next week.
If I Die by Rachel Vincent is another book I'd love to read again. I re-read it for the challenge, but now that I've read Before I Wake, I want to read it again to see which I love more. And then, of course, I'd love to re-read Before I Wake.
Someday I'd love to be able to say I've read all my wishful thinking reads… but that's just wishful thinking.
Those left behind:
My week off was just that. A week off from being responsible, a week off from email, a week off from work and a week mostly off from reading. I barely read a thing this week. Except for when I went off-pile for Before I Wake. Though I started reading another off-pile read yesterday, Drink Deep by Chloe Neill, which I finished today as it was such a super quick read.
And I plan on reading The Golden Lily today. So it technically won't be left behind as it will be done by the time I'm supposed to start on this week's reads on Sunday.
I did not get to start Something Strange and Deadly. And I'll have to wait another week before I can, because I have a few off-pile novellas to read this week for the Soul Screamers Reading Challenge and a non-YA book that's a must read.
I'm still not doing so well with my reading pile commitments. Though I hope to change it around in the coming weeks. I only have a handful of required reads, so it should be easier to stay on track. Even with the new season of True Blood starting….
NetGalley Pile Adds:
I did not request anything new from NetGalley, though I may end up requesting Pushing the Limits since it is a book I'm dying to read and the ARC I traded for is gone forever.
I really hope to tackle some of those older NetGalley books I requested before I'm lured once again into new requests. Here's to hoping….
I have been feeling so terribly guilty for not reading all that much this past week. And for not writing my review for Before I Wake the moment I finished it. Armchair BEA posts took a lot longer than I anticipated. Except for the giveaway post, they took a minimum of three hours for each post. I really should have allotted some more time to write those.
I'm back at work next week so my reading time will be that much more limited. But I hope that being at work will give me more reason to want to escape in a book at the end of the work day. I remain optimistic.
I'm looking forward to a productive and happy reading week this week and wish you the same. Happy reading!

~dissolves into tears~
ps. BIW CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!! MY HEART ISN'T READY BUT I DON'T CARE!!
YEY for TGL!!
->I HATE YOU!!!->whoever 'picked up' the 'fallen off' ARCs -_- HATE YOU! -_- no better than the freaking cheaters from the other week…
but hey! You MUST dance as the gif I showed you Rachel!! ^_^ and let me do the crying! I'ma pro at that!
I still can't believe what happened to all your ARCs. :/ I'm sure you don't feel like talking about this topic anymore since it's so depressing, so I'm skipping to the next one. Just know, if I could do anything to the people who took the books, I would and believe me it would be very painful for them. 😉
Ah, Before I Wake!!! *squee* Not long at all now for the rest of us to read it too!!! So excited!!! 😀
Carnival of Souls looks so amazing!!! It's definitely a book high up on my TBR pile. The same goes for Onyx!!! I am so scared about who might die though…
Throne of Glass looks awesome too! I love the cover and it sounds like a very interesting read. 🙂
Gosh, I know exactly what you mean! My Armchair BEA posts took me forever to write as well. Even though I had two posts pre-written and scheduled, I still didn't get a lot of reading done – almost none, really. *sigh* I'm hoping to be better this week though. *fingerscrossed*
Well, my pile hasn't really changed since last week, but I did get a book, so here's my link if you're interested. 😉 STS & MRP
Off to try and write my If I Die post now. 😀
What is with the mail!?! I had a package magically disappear as well. They have no idea why only the top of the box is left. I'm so upset!
I love the screaming thing. Sad how we can be such dignified creatures and one totally awesome moment can turn us into dolphins. 🙂 Been there done that and more than willing to do it again.
AHHH YOU HAVE BIW! Oh gosh. I totally understand why you screamed! I so would too! 😉 But ouch. 13 ARCS? I mean, I had lost packages too, but none that big a package… And I thought those kinda stuff don't happen in the US.
But anyway, BIW > 13 ARCs, right? 😉 (At least for me it is!)
*hugs* for missing ARC's. How someone can do that is beyond me *poke stupid postal service*
I would have had the same reaction if I had gotten Before I Wake. I love the cover of Carnival of Souls and can't wait to see the UK version.
I am due to get Pushing The Limits from the UK publisher, I know it wont be an ARC but you can have it once I have finished if you want.
Oh no, sorry about the missing mail 🙁 That sucks but on the bright side at least Before I wake came and so glad it was everything you were holing for 🙂 Throne Of Glass sounds really good and I cant wait to read it. Enjoy.
Bhahaha you are awesome! I love the "Eeee Eeee EEE". And I totally understand :D.
Love your pile, I mean Before I Wake, Onyx and The Golden Lilly are definitely most anticipated reads. Well, the first and second more (for me). Right now, I'm-wait for it- re-reading the Soul Screamers series! Me, of all people! I mean I started with my favorite parts but that wasn't enough, so now I'm holding a full blown all crammed into one month mini reading challenge. Not sure if I'll be reviewing them for the SSRC though. Or maybe I'll do an all-in-one review.
I have no idea what I'll be reading after this, though (yet) :).
And I feel for you about the 13 ARCs. That sucks.
Everyone's been raving about Before I Wake and I haven't even started the series! I seriously need to get off my butt and go get a copy.
And I loved Throne of Glass! Celaena is such a kickass character, and I believe I am team Dorian. 🙂
Happy reading!
Aww, I am so sorry you lost all those books – the postal system here sucks some times!
I haven't read any books by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Krauss yet, but I just won the audiobook of Between You and Me from Armchair BEA, so I will have to listen to that soon:)
I call it my monthly read Blog
You're so lucky to have Onyx by Jennifer L. Armentrout! I CANNOT wait for its release!!!!!
First and foremost…I'm SO jealous that you got Before I Wake! DYING for it. I've also heard Throne of Glass was really good too. I'm going to have to check it out. Sounds like you have tons to keep you busy! Hoping to finish Drink Deep this week. 😉
my haul
Total heartbreak on the lost books but I loved the sounding like a seal lol I do that I think all book lovers do. The mail comes and it's better than Christmas.

Issue No. 08 - August (2001 vol. 34)
pp: 31-34
Watching the fast pace of technology growth firsthand is one of the most rewarding aspects of being a part of the computer industry. Ideas considered science fiction only a few years ago now appear in products. Today, thanks to technical progress on many fronts, digital location information is available to software applications running on many different mobile computing platforms. This new type of location-aware or location-based computing has made possible applications with the capability to sense their location and modify their settings, user interface, and functions accordingly.
When we began working on location-based computing in the late 1980s, even mobile computing was a stretch because most so-called portable computers weighed many pounds. At that time, PDAs were quite basic, mostly providing a simple address book used by a few enthusiasts. Digital cellular telephone networks had yet to arrive in the US: The TDMA Interim Standard was released in early 1991. Our own R&D work attempted to time-travel into a world in which computer mobility was commonplace and computers were ubiquitously connected through wireless networks. With mobility and location in mind, we initiated two research projects: the Active Badge project at Olivetti Research and, later, the PARCTab project at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center.
Active Badge
To experiment with location data before the advent of today's commercial technology, we had to build our own—which usually involved making many design compromises. In the case of Active Badge, you carried an electronic badge—rather than a computer—that informed the computer infrastructure where you were. The infrastructure in turn used your location data to modify the behavior of programs running on nearby workstations. These were the first location-based applications reported in the computer science literature. Despite the Active Badge's limitations, we identified many intriguing applications that captured the imagination of others who began working in this area.
Surprisingly, we originally intended that the Active Badge simply route telephone calls arriving at the office PBX to the telephone extension nearest the intended recipient. Only when we built the system at Olivetti Research in the UK did we begin to understand the utility of a person's location. Another surprise was the newfound use of a test button mounted prominently on the badge's front: Users could test the badge by seeing if sensor indicators around the room flashed when they pressed the button. However, we found that the system could differentiate between a button press and the normal operation of the badge, which meant the test button could also be used to send commands to the system.
At first, one button and one command may not seem very useful. However, the command can have a personalized meaning for each user and can be interpreted differently in each location. The command's interpretation is further extended because each combination of people wearing badges could cause the command to be modified uniquely. In practice, only a few commands at key locations are useful—my office, a conference room, a lab, or the boss's office—and more options might complicate user interaction. But this simple button illuminated the implications for location and the first notions of context-aware computing.
The PARCTab, shown in Figure 1, took this simple idea to the next level by using a true palm-sized tablet computer with a pen interface linked to a diffuse microcellular infrared network. Limited by the technology of the time, the tab commanded the applications, but they were executed in the computer infrastructure—the results displayed on the screen of a tab, transmitted over the diffuse IR network. The microcellular property provided location information on a room-by-room basis. The resulting PARCTab applications became the first location-based applications on a PDA-class device.
Now that technology has caught up with the ideas, and wireless data has come of age, the commercial world can test these theories in real products. Many companies now have development efforts that involve location-based computing: IBM's Pervasive Computing Division; ubiquitous computing programs at Microsoft, Intel, and Xerox; AT&T's Sentient Computing R&D, which evolved from the original Active Badge work; and HP's CoolTown project; along with numerous university research programs. Location-based computing is about to come of age.
To date, the most successful commercial mobile computers have been laptops and PDAs such as Palm and the Compaq iPAQ. When combined with wireless networks, these devices become a powerful asset useful in both recreational and professional activities. Cell phones have begun to play a role in this space now that PDA capabilities are being integrated with handsets and Internet access is possible through protocols such as WAP and i-mode. The 500 million cell phones currently in use worldwide may all have Internet connectivity in a few years, approximately tripling the current 250 million wired Internet users. The use of mobile devices in the future clearly has the potential to make a huge impact on the applications available on the Internet.
Modern mobile computers can now take advantage of context in the same way as Active Badges and the PARCTab, but with a far richer user interface that can access high-resolution color displays, pen input, and tactile buttons. The most powerful facet of context is location, which in many cases can be used to select and filter information, distilling it to the essential components for the task at hand. For example, in answering the command "recommend a restaurant," the most useful response to a computer query about restaurants is not just a good restaurant reference but an establishment nearby. To date, this type of location-based service has not been deployed on a large scale, but its time is close.
Many research initiatives have examined location-aware design topics. One article in this issue, Nigel Davies and colleagues' "Using and Determining Location in a Context-Sensitive Tour Guide," examines how to make best use of location information and discusses the many issues that must be taken into account to provide a first-class user experience for mobile applications.
The new e911 requirements effective in the US as of 1 October 2001 require that 95 percent of emergency-services calls made from mobile handsets be locatable to within 150 meters. The same mechanisms that enable emergency services to respond to the location of a caller will likely be made available to higher-level services, which in turn will provide an API for developers. Application writers can use this interface to augment existing applications or invent entirely new ones. It will be interesting to see if the users who have been so reluctant to buy Internet content will consider location-based services worth paying for.
Another technology readily available since the late 1980s, the Global Positioning System lets suitably equipped receivers determine their position within 10 meters. The original GPS equipment was bulky and unsuitable for integration with small mobile computers. The remarkable improvement in this space has been the miniaturization of receivers and antennas.
Two chipset solutions—now available from Philips, STMicro-electronics, and others—allow installing GPS as a low-cost add-on to many portable devices. SnapTrack has made large strides with its server-aided GPS, which is being integrated onto Qualcomm's CDMA chipset. Casio even sells a GPS receiver built into an admittedly bulky wristwatch, as Figure 2 shows.
GPS solves the problem of determining location in most outdoor situations. Another article, Salil Pradhan and colleagues' "Websigns: Hyperlinking Physical Locations to the Web," takes a close look at the problem of using GPS to provide information about specific things and places when navigating with a handheld device. However, GPS information by itself is not sufficient to provide useful information about your locality unless it is augmented by information about the direction in which you are currently looking. The article describes how the HP CoolTown group solves this problem by using an electronic compass to augment data displayed on a handheld device using a labeled, visual representation of the currently viewed direction.
Short-range radio
The Bluetooth short-range radio standard might be particularly well suited to the creation of location-based services. Already, several companies have announced Bluetooth location-based services and positioning technology (for example, Bluesoft Inc.), and a Local Positioning Working Group of the Bluetooth SIG has been charged with providing interoperability among devices from different suppliers. Figure 3 shows a Bluetooth-enabled cell phone, now available commercially from Ericsson, that will be able to take advantage of localization data while connecting to the cellular network.
At Intel Research, the Ubiquity project has begun to push the limits of location-based computing. The project is centered on a concept called the Personal Server, shown in Figure 4, which is the ultimate minimal PC, with no display, keyboard, or mouse. To enable user interaction, a powerful processor in combination with high-density storage and a Bluetooth radio connects wirelessly to displays and other resources in the local environment. Standardized short-range wireless connectivity, which inherently uses the property of location, will thus enable new models of personal computation.
Mobile systems that operate outdoors are useful for many work activities. There are, however, many tasks in the IT world that can benefit from indoor location systems. Our third application article, Mike Addlesee and colleagues' "Implementing a Sentient Computing System," describes the AT&T sentient computing project. This project uses a combination of ultrasonic and radio technology to locate objects, not only to the nearest room, but also in 3D space within that room. The project explores the many uses of location-based computing at a fine spatial granularity and demonstrates how systems can learn about a user's intent from this detailed contextual information.
For those of you who have been intrigued by location-based computing, but have not worked in this field, we have included a survey article, Jeffrey Hightower's and Gaetano Borriello's "Location Systems for Ubiquitous Computing," that compares the pros and cons of the various positioning systems. To date, no one technology operates in all locales and satisfies the power consumption and form factor constraints of all mobile devices. As with many technologies, there are trade-offs to be made. This article provides a comparison of the technologies underlying most of the location-based computer systems in use today.
The response we received to our call for papers was considerable and ranged from diverse academic organizations to various branches of industry. In this special issue, we have only a limited opportunity to whet your appetite for location-based computing's potential and have thus chosen the four articles that best convey the underlying principles and the future potential of location-aware technologies. Enjoy!

I would like to learn how to code cios for wii, and learn how to create my own applications for wii. Anyone knows where I can start to learn to do this without having to go to school to learn how to do it. Another question is how come know one has hacked the wii so that it could be able to play xbox or xbox360 and or playstation 2 or 3 games? I would like to help someone do this or join a team to do this, I think this would be really awesome to do something like this.
You would probably have to ask Waninkoko or Hermes when it comes to cIOS seeing as how they are the only two to have released cIOS (236 don't count IMO). Here's a good starting point for homebrew.
No,no,no, and no. The Wii isn't powerful enough to emulate any of the mentioned systems nor are there PC emulators for some of them. If you can't do it on a PC yet you can't do it on a Wii.
There are PS2 emulators that are available for the PC. If the PC can emulate PS2, then maybe the Wii? I know you said it might not
be powerful enough, but then you did say if they have it out for PC, then they might be able to do it for Wii. So the XBox (original XBox)
is more pwerful than the Wii hardware wise??? Wow that is a jip, considering that the Wii was released several years after the first XBox came out.
Also thanks for the homebrew link to start to learn coding. I really like this website, there are lots of really helpful people on here
If you already know how to code, I'd suggest looking at the link that Darkcide666 just gave you. I'd also suggest you look at the source code of Hermes' ciOS.
You could also check out this: Custom IOS Module Toolkit - WiiBrew
It's like the man who saw the mona lisa for the first time and said "I wanna be able to paint that!" It's not that easy.
I have helped people like Bob Kahn develop the TCP/IP format... I have written games in "C" that are still online today after... 18 years? had to stop and calculate - MUDs aren't that popular anymore. I was a registered apple software developer for the apple 2 AFTER I graduated from college - gives you an idea how old I am. Apple made a commercial about me... if any are old enough it was the one about "turning on the lights" - I coded a major energy conservation program to "turn on the lights" lol and the chill pumps, and the fans, and everything else. I digress (old ppl do that alot)
My inspiration was working in a byte shop as a kid. Back then everyone and their mother came out with a computer. There was no standardation like there is now. Oh hell I'm never going to get to the point. Just get a language you can practice in. To program that is lol BASIC is good - as I recall it stands for beginners allpurpose symbolic instruction code - yes that was from memory correct me if I'm wrong. Then learn pasqual - whoops that was the name of the french pastry chef that lived in my building - pascal - it is a useless language but it helps you THINK right to learn the others.
To really appreciate this you need to build a UNIX box. Linux, or however it's spelled, might do, FreeBSD if your serious. Then you use VI, or the text editor of your choice, to make shell scripts (bash is a good one), edit cron tabs (to run the shell scripts you wrote at the time you want) and gcc... that is your ultimate goal... gcc OMG although nowadays there's "C++" sorry back in my day there weren't the plusses. It was just plain ANSI C. Is it g++ now? Sorry been awhile.
Then become one of the first Internet Service Providers on the block because that's what you do! Banks and banks of modems. Then... nevermind I digress again
Why the hell do you want to develop cIOS anyway?

Summaries of EU Legislation
Summaries of EU legislation: direct access to the main summaries page.
- Archived: true
A programme for clean and competitive SMEs
To help small and medium-sized enterprises apply EU environmental legislation as well as possible, the Commission proposes a programme aimed at improving legislation, environmental management tools, financial assistance, local expertise as well as communication and information.
Communication of 8 October 2007 from the Commission to the Council, the European Parliament, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions, entitled: "Small, clean and competitive - A programme to help small and medium-sized enterprises comply with environmental legislation" [COM(2007) 379 - Not published in the Official Journal].
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) represent 99 % of all enterprises and 57 % of economic added value in the European Union (EU), yet they fail to apply a significant number of European environmental laws. This happens either because they fall below the thresholds that trigger the application of these laws, or because they are unaware of their impact on the environment and of the legislation applicable to their activities.
This situation has adverse effects on the competitiveness of SMEs, which don't reap the economic benefits associated with better environmental management and eco-innovation, and also on the environment and the health and safety of workers.
To help SMEs adopt sustainable production methods and business practices, the Commission aims to increase SME compliance with environmental legislation by reducing the costs involved, increasing the eco-efficiency of SMEs and enhancing their eco-innovation and competitiveness.
This action plan entails improving legislation, adapting environmental management tools, providing SMEs with financial assistance, building local expertise and improving communication and information. The Commission and Member States must regularly review the programme's implementation, whose initial assessment will take place by 2010.
Better regulation
Measures that can be taken to improve the design and implementation of legislation include streamlining administrative procedures in order to cut costs, grouping and disseminating best practices for meeting environmental obligations, for instance via initiatives such as BEST, working with implementation authorities such as the IMPEL Network and consulting with SMEs in policy-making and policy implementation.
Tailoring environmental management schemes to SMEs
The Commission encourages the application of the environmental management and audit system (EMAS). In particular, it intends to extend this system to a given industrial cluster or sector, and to develop tools such as EMAS-Easy to facilitate its implementation. Furthermore, it plans to reduce the red tape involved in dealing with EMAS in order to encourage European companies to use it. .
Providing appropriate and sustainable financial assistance
To facilitate investment in eco-efficient processes, SMEs can receive European funding and aid through programmes such as LIFE+, the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme and the new instruments of the Cohesion Policy 2007-2013, such as the ERDF, the Cohesion Fund and the European Social Fund. The Commission plans to publish a handbook on new funding opportunities for businesses.
In addition, Community regulations on State aid make it possible for Member States to financially assist businesses that comply with and even improve on the EU's environmental legislation.
Building local expertise
The Commission plans to build capacity to support SMEs in the Member States by organising training seminars on how to find information and on the legal requirements and the benefits of improved environmental performance. The Euro Info Centres (EIC) Network and, from 2008, the new network in support of business and innovation, integrating the services of EICs and the Innovation Relay Centres (IRCs), will support the efforts of the Commission by promoting partnerships and working actively with SMEs.
Improved communication and more targeted information
A multilingual website should be established to provide SMEs with information on the implementation of laws, management tools, funding opportunities, good practices and so on. The Commission also intends to develop guidelines for SMEs to help them control their impact on the environment.

(Reading, Pa.)---The Reading Phillies, Double-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies, have announced that the franchise will be undergoing a rebranding process over the next month. With the help of sports marketing firm Brandiose, Reading's rebranding will pay homage to the legacy of baseball in the city while providing a new identity that fans can rally behind for years to come.
"Through our history, the Reading Phillies have honored its longstanding relationship with the Philadelphia Phillies with variations of the Philadelphia uniform," said Reading General Manager Scott Hunsicker. "Our new look will establish a new identity for the modern era that parallels the Baseballtown heritage at America's Classic Ballpark."
Reading will reveal the next step of the rebranding process during the 6th Annual Eastern PA Toy Run this Sunday at FirstEnergy
Stadium at 12:30 p.m.
Over the 46-year history of the Reading Phillies, the team's logo has paid tribute to the major league affiliation with the Philadelphia Phillies. The Reading Phillies' on-field uniforms mirrored Philadelphia's with red pinstriped home jerseys and hats emblazoned with an "R" rather than the major league "P". In recent years, the team's identity included local elements such as a train engine and the Pagoda sitting atop Mt. Penn.
Brandiose and its partners Casey White and Jason Klein have worked with the Reading Phillies in 2008 and with the Baseballtown rebranding prior to the 2012 season.
"America's Classic Ballpark is home to one of the most iconic experiences in the country, and we're imagining ways to take the Reading Phillies and Baseballtown universe to the next level," said Klein. "We're dreaming up things that have never been done before, and we know fans will love the next era of Reading Phillies baseball."
Based out of San Diego, California, Brandiose has dreamt up team names, mascots, and looks across Minor League Baseball. They have designed the logos for the Harrisburg Senators, Lehigh Valley IronPigs, and Richmond Flying Squirrels. The duo invented the first glow-in-the-dark on-field baseball cap for the Casper Ghosts and the first on-field rally cap design for the Altoona Curve. Their creative approach to storytelling and design led to Brandiose re-imagining the look and feel for the Cincinnati Reds, America's oldest baseball club.
Offering affordable family entertainment all summer long, the Reading Phillies have been the Double-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies since 1967. The 46-year continuous affiliation is tied with the Lakeland Flying Tigers as the longest in the Minor Leagues. Over the years, players such as Mike Schmidt, Ryne Sandberg, Jimmy Rollins, Pat Burrell, and Ryan Howard have come through Baseballtown on their way to major league stardom.
In 2003, the R-Phils won the John H. Johnson President's Trophy, the top honor bestowed upon the complete franchise by Minor League Baseball. Reading has also been presented with the Larry MacPhail Promotional Award twice in its storied history as the best promotional team in all of Minor League Baseball and has been nominated for the award numerous times by the Eastern League including the past two seasons.
The Reading Phillies and Philadelphia Phillies continue their 47-year affiliation, the longest in minor league baseball, at FirstEnergy Stadium when the team opens up its season on April 12th against the Erie SeaWolves. Season ticket and mini-plans for the 2013 season can be purchased online at RPhils.com, by phone at 610-370-BALL, and in-person by visiting the R-Phils Ticket Office at FirstEnergy Stadium.

Microsoft has confirmed that they will be airing their E3 briefing live on Spike TV for those in the U.S. Spike will be airing the briefing starting at 12:30 P.M. PST on Monday June 6th.
Many consider Microsoft's briefing at E3 to be very pivotal for the company this year. Last year, many Xbox 360 fans felt the company had too much of an emphasis on Kinect and not enough on the hard core gaming elements that the vast majority of Xbox 360 gamers are into. This year, Microsoft has to contend with Nintendo's announcement of their new console, as well as Sony's filling in more of the blanks on their next generation portable.
Sources tell us that while the company might have a trick or two up its sleeve this year for its E3 briefing, it is expected that a large number of Kinect titles will be announced as well some other new more traditional titles. Sources tell us that we should expect Dance Central 2, Kinect Sports 2, and some hardcore titles for Kinect. We are also hearing some vague rumors of an open world Forza driving title to be announced.
In about three weeks we will get a look at Microsoft has to offer, and expect the rumor mill to be in full effect until then.

Snagging David Tennant has turned out to be an unexpected success for Virgin Media.
You would think that the chief marketing officer of a huge multinational company would be able to judge these things but apparently not; as Nigel Gilbert said of Tennant on Friday 18th May:
We knew he'd be good but we didn't know quite how good.
Perhaps it's not surprising that Gilbert was skeptical, after all,
He's only ever done ads once before and that was 10 years ago before he became famous.
David Tennant's success in the adverts comes after a bit of controversy last month when they had to pull one of the adverts after BBC Worldwide complained about it. Turns out that featuring Richard Branson using a time machine, the Tenth Doctor and the Doctor Who logo gives the appearance of the BBC endorsing it. Who knew?
As people with eyes might know, David Tennant is seen as easy on the eyes. Asked whether they used this in any way, Gilbert replied:
We didn't specifically choose [Tennant] because of women, but we wanted someone who was really engaging and who wasn't commonly used in advertising.
They seem to have found their man. As a popular actor with an easily recognisable face, he's a natural fit for advertising. Hopefully these adverts will perpetuate and keep one of the K's favourite actors in work!

First, the good: E-commerce retailers are doing better than ever, according to the American Consumer Satisfaction Index. Human beings are picking up the telephone, calling customers back, and handling returns promptly.
Now, the bad: there's lot of room for improvement at the brick and mortar stores.
Here are five of the top nine retailers with the worst customer service, according to 24/7 Wall Street, a financial news and analysis website, which reviewed the ACSI data to compile this list:
(See also: Don't buy the extended warranty - ever)
This floundering retail giant, owner of Sears and Kmart, had a morale problem last year. And when employees aren't happy neither are customers, says Ashley Allen, president of 24/7 Wall Street. "There's a strong correlation between the two." Among the top customer complaints: restrictive coupons, a limited rewards program, and poor delivery service.
Another employer that has had trouble keeping employees happy is Walmart. And this, too, is reflected in its poor customer service rating. In fact, Walmart has been one of lowest rated retailers since 2005, according to Allen.
Allen says that Safeway, one of the nation's largest grocery chains, has underperformed in customer service every year for the past 10 years. One of its primary issues: overcharging customers. The State of California, which has the highest concentration of Safeway stores, has repeatedly sued Safeway and its Vons stores for this infraction, and yet the overcharging allegedly continues, per a recent undercover investigation by CBS-5 San Francisco.
Back in 2009, Netflix was one of ACSI's top-scoring online retailers, but in 2011, the company famously enraged customers with increased pricing and changes to its streaming service. The backlash led the company to renege, but Netflix never quite recovered. "Online retailers usually do well but Netflix isn't making great strides in winning its customers back," says Allen.
In each of the past three years, CVS's customer service rating has trailed its rivals, Rite Aid and Walgreens. Is its size partially to blame? "In general, large drugstore chains do not do well in the customer satisfaction ratings. It's the one retail category where smaller chains tend to do better," says Allen.
If you have a problem with customer service, file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, write a letter to corporate, or spread the word via social media.

Okay, so I already bought this yesterday, but I'm considering returning it. Snagged this from Club Monaco for fifty bucks. I really like the styling, it's nice and drapey and really lightweight...anyway, I'm having second thoughts for two reasons. The first is the color; I feel like I have too much gray in my closet, but I'm just drawn to the color! This was also available (in my size) in black and in navy with the same heathering, so I'm considering an exchange. The second thing is, I'm trying to save up for the Helmut Lang and Band of Outsiders sales on Gilt...anyway, I think it's a cool piece, I just wanted other people's opinions.

Sierra Club Fracking Talk updated: Mar 21, 2014, 10:02 AM
By Robert Bernstein
Fracking was the issue that filled the Faulkner Monday with a Sierra Club event. Michael Thornton of the California State Sierra Club was the main speaker.
Here are my photos.
In my introduction to the event I explained that we would not have to deal with these issues if we had good sustainable transportation and energy policies. I reminded people that we need to rally for positive programs as well as against harmful ones.
I also explained that there are local issues of fracking as well as global issues. Locally, the issues are water and air pollution as well as earthquakes.
But the global issue is the impact on climate change: The process is very energy intensive. And, most important, the process provides a large supply of very dirty carbon-based fuel at relatively low cost.
I compared it to dumping your trash in the street and not having to pay for it. If people had to pay to dump their carbon in the atmosphere a lot of these problems would be solved.
The presentation by Sierra Club Coastal Organizer Mike Thornton mostly focused on the local rather than global issues.
Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in California is mostly about releasing "tight oil" from Monterey Shale, though it can also be used to extract natural gas.
Fracturing fluid is a mix of sand, water and chemicals and is forced into a well. This fractures the surrounding rock.
The amount of water used nationally is 70-140 billion gallons a year. That is about the water use of 40-80 cities of a population of 50,000.
Fracking and acidizing employ toxic chemical cocktails that contaminate both water and air. The so-called "Halliburton exemption" exempts fracking from air regulations!
Some of the chemicals used: Crystalline Silica, Methanol, Hydrochloric Acid, Hydrofluoric Acid, 2-Butoxy Ethanol, Ethyl Glycol (Monobutyl Ether), Xylene, Amorphous Silica Fume, Aluminum Oxide, Acrylic Polymer (Acid) Acetophenone Ethylbenzene.
In 2008, a Kern County farmer was awarded $8.5 million in compensatory damages for groundwater contamination from oil industry wastewater stored in open pits.
Some settlements forbid future investigations. And some spills simply go unreported if the contamination is not noticed.
Cathy Behr was a nurse at the Durango, CO, Mercy Regional Medical Center. In 2008 a gas-patch worker showed up in her ER soaked in a sweet-smelling fluid after a drilling accident.
She lost her sense of smell. Her vision blurred. Then came heart, liver and respiratory failures that nearly killed her.
Doctors tried to find out the chemicals in this "ZetaFlow" compound to provide proper treatment. The manufacturer Halliburton refused to provide the information as a "trade secret."
"Exploratory wells" have additional layers of secrecy.
As reported on NBC News: "Earthquakes were triggered by fluid injection shortly after the injection initiated - less than two weeks," says researcher Won-Young Kim, a seismologist at Columbia University's Lamont- Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades, N.Y.
Where? In Ohio! Thornton then showed a fault line map for California to remind us of our own risk.
Thornton also claimed that jobs from fracking are largely a myth as it employs few workers and most jobs are temporary. Boom town effects are largely negative, associated with increased crime and prices and money leaving the area. Afterwards, buildings are abandoned while road and other infrastructure damage remains.
Thornton used to work for the Sierra Fund in Nevada and dealt with abandoned mines there. Three million pounds of mercury from the original Gold Rush are still making their way through the ecosystems.
Fracking's demand for water drives up prices farmers pay.
Then there is offshore fracking. About half the platforms in the Santa Barbara Channel are dumping fracking waste. The oil industry has federal permission to dump more than 9 billion gallons of wastewater a year directly into the ocean off California's coast.
On 11/19/2013 Congresswoman Lois Capps called for a Federal fracking moratorium until the impacts are better understood. She said there was inadequate oversight.
The industry argues that fracking has gone on for decades. Thornton said it is like comparing the Wright Brothers' plane with the Space Shuttle. Current fracking uses pressures and chemicals that are unprecedented.
58% of registered voters in California want a fracking moratorium. SB1132 by Holly Mitchell and Mark Leno would do that. It started from hydrofluoric acid spills in Mitchell's district. SB1132 builds on the existing SB4. It would require a study to be made public. The governor would determine if fracking can continue and his decision could be challenged in court.
The precautionary principle calls for proving something is safe rather than assuming something is safe.
The LA City Council voted 10-0 for a fracking moratorium. They got so many calls of support they had to ask people to stop.
Action at the local level with representatives you know is very important. He said we can be like fire ants at a picnic. You make it so investors put their money elsewhere. Thornton showed a rally sign that read, "Only You Can Prevent Faucet Fires."
Linda Krop of the Environmental Defense Center spoke next. Starting with past EDC successes on limiting offshore oil drilling since the 1969 spill. They were able to shut down 40 platforms and most remaining untapped leases.
They did a Freedom Of Information Act request on fracking and issued a report. It turned out there were at least 15 fracking "incidents" in the past 20 years. Some happened near the Marine Sanctuary and the Channel Islands National Park.
EDC is calling for a moratorium on offshore fracking. There should be consultation with Fish and Wildlife and with the National Marine Fisheries Service.
The third and final speaker was Rebecca Claassen from the new group Santa Barbara County Water Guardians. They are pushing for a full ban on fracking and acidization.
By state law, a moratorium cannot last more than two years. That is not much, considering the work that will go into getting one. And considering the amount of information that is needed to know what really is going on. A ban can always be reversed.
Of course, people wanted to know how to help.
1) Get on the Sierra Club and EDC e-mail lists so you are ready to act when needed to support SB1132 and other actions.
2) Help Santa Barbara County Water Guardians collect signatures for their ban request. On April 5 there will be a kickoff event in Alameda Park.

Justice for Justin
In this corner, weighing 110 pounds and standing 5-feet 7-inches tall, 18-year-old pop star Justin Bieber. In the other corner, some guy who was aggressively taking his picture in a California shopping mall.
Los Angeles County police are investigating accusations that Justin struck a photographer, which, if true, would violate California Penal Code 242 even if the striking blow was, well, glancing. Detectives want you to call them if you saw the brawl or if Justin attacked you, as well.
So far Bieber is not talking.
Apparently, the photographer called the Malibu-Lost Hills Sheriff's department last Sunday afternoon. The victim says he was "battered" by the singer, who was accompanied by his girlfriend, Selena Gomez. The victim complained of "pain" and was transported to a local hospital where he was treated and released into the custody of a lawyer who immediately contacted the media.
Now, I am certain being attacked by Justin Bieber is no laughing matter. If the guy ever got a haircut and a neck tattoo, he could look menacing. Perhaps Justin knows kung fu.
But the odds are that this is yet another shakedown generated by a loser and his sleazy attorney who will game the system hoping Bieber will throw some money at them in order to make the annoyance go away.
There are now legions of lawyers who will file lawsuits against famous and rich people for just about anything. Lawsuits cost money to defend, and the media are overjoyed to publicize any and all alleged "transgressions." No evidence has to be provided to the press; a lurid accusation is enough. This is now an industry: Fleecing the Rich and Famous. In fact, it could be a reality show. Paging Robin Leach.
But if you really look at what's happening, it's despicable. Legalized extortion and blackmail are now epidemics in America. Famous people are routinely slandered, libeled, followed and menaced in public. And there's little they can do about it. If you are a public figure and/or have money, you are a huge target and will get little sympathy from the court or from the court of public opinion.
Recently, I took three young teenagers to see the play "Jesus Christ Superstar." Upon leaving the theater, a guy who identified himself as an "Occupy protester" was waiting for me with a camera and recorder. He began screaming nonsense. I told the guy to knock it off because he was scaring the kids. He actually yelled louder and even chased my car down the street. The girls were unnerved.
I truly wish Bieber had been with me that night so he could have smacked down that guy. I guess I could have done it, but the line of attorneys responding would have stretched from Broadway to Michigan.
We absolutely need tort reform in this country, and we need to adopt a brand-new slogan, as well: "Free Justin Bieber."

As a hearing person who became deaf by the time I was about 35 I cant imagine anyone choosing deafness over hearing. I mourned the loss of sound and I found it hard to live in a hearing world. I come across many people like me who, more than anything, want their hearing back.
I have read about members of the Deaf Community who are anti-hearing and indeed have chosen to try and have Deaf children. As a hearing person (even though I was deaf) I found this hard to understand and I wondered were there any people in the world who had hearing and would like to be deaf and if so why? (This article is not about people who are born Deaf and want to stay that way.)
Research on the internet shows there are some people who have hearing and want to be deaf. There is even a group called Deaf Wannabe which has 866 members. On a number of blog people ask is there surgery which is available or ways they can self-mutilate their hearing. Amazingly many answers on blogs give suggestions about how to make yourself deaf. None of the suggestions are sure to make you deaf of course and all are highly dangerous not to mention painful and definitely not recommended.
So why would someone with good hearing want to go deaf? The reasons given are varied but fall into a general category of not having to listen to the world. There might be times when being deaf is a plus (you dont hear your kids argue, you dont have to listen to people whining or the droll of heavy machinery at work), it is pretty drastic to actually want to mutilate a working auditory system. The majority of people commenting on the blogs, questions and articles recommend counselling to cope with the stresses of life rather than going deaf.
There is a lack of understanding of deafness by one person who suggested they would like to be deafened then wear hearing aids when they want to hear. Obviously they have no idea about deafness and how hearing aids work because this is just so unlikely. If we really need to escape from noise then temporary deafness can be achieved by wearing ear plugs or ear muffs and when they are removed normal hearing is returned.
When I went deaf I coped - but always my lack of hearing made life difficult. I spent my days concentrating on listening rather than doing a sentiment echoed by so many late deafened adults. When I found a Cochlear Implant could help me it was relatively easy to make the decision and the results have been fantastic. I can hear far better than I have for 30 years and participate much the same as any normal hearing person.
Deafness is usually permanent. Overwhelmingly the number of people who are deaf and want their hearing back far outweigh the few unusual people who find noise unbearable and want to be deaf.
