How To Build a Website Incorporating HubPages
"Stone writes with intelligence, wit and sensitivity" Times Literary Supplement
You may have noticed some slightly odd things happening with my hubs of late. There's been a rash of very old stories, including, in fact, the very first story I ever wrote with a commercial interest in mind, Witch Way Out Of Here, which was eventually published in the Guardian Weekend sometime in early 1994.
There's a reason for all of this.
I've been building a website.
Well I say I've been building a website, but that's not strictly true. I couldn't build a website to save my life. Websites are far too difficult, involving, amongst other things, the need to plan logically and to deal with the complexities of web design programmes, which are generally written in Mandarin Chinese and then translated into Swahili before being assembled as a cut-up by a paranoid friend of William S. Burroughs high on weird South American psychedelic plants.
I never could make any sense out of web design programmes.
Fortunately I have a friend who can.
Hi name is Fraser James, and here is a link to his website: http://www.bridgefieldhouse.com/
Fraser speaks fluent Mandarin Chinese and Swahili (of the technical variety) plus he doesn't need to take weird South American psychedelic plants to derange his mind, having permanently fused-out his brain with an excess of science fiction at a far-too vulnerable age.
Fraser is the kind of man who thinks that Batman is a real person.
Which is OK because I think that Batman is probably a real person too.
I guess the interesting thing here is the way we have incorporated HubPages into the website. I don't know if anyone else has done this or not. This is very useful for a number of reasons. Firstly it allows for links back and forth between HubPages and my website. Secondly, it allows the website to have lots of extra pages. Thirdly it allows for regular updates of my website without having to bother Fraser, who is usually too busy trying to build a Bat Signal, amongst other things.
It works this way. The site is a permanent feature containing a selection of my stories from over the years, including some that appear on HubPages.
There's a biography section, a travel section, a books section, a columns section, an articles section, and a politics section.
As you know, I'm interested in all of these things.
In the travel page there are two links to HubPages: Beyond the Forest and Angels of New York. The columns page contains a number of links, as does the politics page, while the "contact/latest" page includes the hubpages widget, hence connecting us directly into HubPages. The two sites are intimately interlinked, with cross trade and cross links between the two enhancing them both.
Finally there's a section containing my reviews and the "contact/latest" page also links to my blog and to my email address.
Thus by updating my Hubs I am also updating my Website.
Clever, what?
Meanwhile, if you want to leave comments about my website, here is the place to do it.
Let me know what you think.

Not so much Rage Against the Machine as Slightly Peeved the Taps Won't Work
hi cj.good to come across the fact that your still doing what your birthright quite obviously states.yes that is a bit cosmic.as I remember,met you briefly while waiting to eat,or maybe afterwards,outside st benedicts hall,on a sunday.you were working on "chapter thirteen at the time",have wondered how you got on with that.im new to this techno stuff.but beyond the scrutiny if universal jobsmatch,its good to read/see/learn that humanity hasn't quite melted into the machine completely.
Great ideas!
Nice website, chris. Only one quibble: the text is squashed up too close to photos and to the red bar on the left. Very irritating. Tell Fraser to get a bit more space in sharpish. OK, you know I'm a pedantic bastard -- it's an occupational hazard of having been a typesetter.
At least you're not printing it in unreadable red on black or grey on black like some websites do. Don't know if it's still the case, but when I worked for the PO postmen were allowed to refuse to deliver or sort letters in red packaging -- red on black -- classed as "embarrassing packages" -- because trying to read them is scientifically proven to be bad for the eyes.
still, envy you your website and fraser's skills
cheers, dave
Nice work, CJ. I've just created my first blogs (and I also have a friend who not only thinks he's Superman but I think he really is! He's certainly my SuperHero.) Our stories are very similar. I really enjoyed this hub, and your Website.
A very informative website layout. Thanks.
I was thinking of using websites too to advertise my few hubs. For now though I have to develop where to advertise them . Traffic exchanges (where I usually advertise my websites) are out because Adsense do not allow their Ads in Traffic exchanges.
Its a very cool design CJ -and what your Swahili speaker has done looks so much better than the hubpages widget!
Hi CJ, you put the hubpages capsule on your website or blog- it lets people know what articles you have here. I'm presuming it'd work for your site - if that was what you wanted..
That's amazing hair you have! I was definitely wrong about that then! For some reason I thought all hair or fur will get matted - animals coats do! In the Bible St Paul forbade braided hair so there must have been a lot of people with dreads around then and he clearly wasn't very successful! lol
All hair will form dreadlocks as far as I know, Chris, but it takes ages after you start with braided hair! I agree they can be a lot of trouble - mine started get thinner on top and heavier at the bottom and were thus falling out with the rest of my thinning hairline and that's why I gave up!
I have tried understanding how they form though and have never worked it out. I know they are from dead hairs that have come out and then got caught up but I can't see why they stay neatly in place as they do. I also don't know how the more or less instant ones are done. I had dreads but they are still a mystery to me! lol
Congratulations CJ, it looks nice and clean and some great stuff there. So you never were a dreadlock fan hey? I'm working on Wordpress at the moment and interesting to see what people are doing on theirs. Did you notice the new hub capsule you can put on your site btw?
The green field brings back memories.I used to work in the fields picking potatoes with a harness strapped on my waist.Buck hay,cut corregates to water the crops.When it stormed the boss would send you home,of course without compensation.and no benefits.
What a refreshing idea : ) Way to maximise your time, effort and potential CJ!
I'm In California, too-- (the snowy part right now) and yes I did see the little face in the big knothole. So you are saying it was moved from the uppity-scale neighborhood? If so, it was their loss, to be sure.
CJ thanks for the reply.
After looking at your website to follow the links to the hubpages, I will have to read more of your hubs to get your big picture on the war.
Cheers from California
CJ, Cheers from California
I looked your website and that of your friend Fraser.
They are both clean nice websites.
I couldn't find any links back to your hub pages.
I was under the impression from the hub rules, that promoting a personal or commercial website with the hubs was a no no.
That impression has prevented me from doing that for my website.
Any clarification on this matter would be appreciated.
It's looking good. I like the idea of continuing the article on HP. Good luck with the site!
I like it, too. I much enjoyed the story about the man in the rubber suit and the diving helmet sculpture. Hope this helps to spread your fame and wonderous talent.
Congrats on the website. Im looking into the same idea and want ease of use as well. Loved your expression of webdesign building because it is true. Only I see the stoned designer using a hammer.
Nice website, CJ. I have always been partial to the red/black/white combo, as it is eye-catching and dynamic. I might suggest for your readers desiring to set up their own website, look into Microsoft Office Live. It's free, including the domain name, and good domain names too. I got reillycreative.com. Not bad for free. Also, it's easy to use. i set mine up about a year ago when I knew nothing of such things. I am now in the process of fixing up a few things now that I know more, but it's pretty extensive and servicible.
Glad to have read this and seen your fine site!
Your website looks great! I love how you can surf from one subject to the next. Graphics are crisp and engaging. Very interesting how you morphed from that long haired young man on the rooftop to the man and excellent writer of today.
I have been to your website and back. I was so jealous that I spitted at the LCD of my notebook (or almost). Simple and Smart.
It looks great! I'm happy for you. I finally got my website up, and haven't touched it in months. All this web stuff is labor intensive and the financial return is quite dinky. But eventually, I'll get to it. Someday. (Maybe.) Fun to see your photos too. Lookin' good, CJ!
Great idea. I was doing something very similar between my blog and hubpages. But I didn't know about Fraser and was falling asleep when I read my sci-fic. Good to see it work out for you. I shall browse for take-home ideas.
Hi Chris! The new site looks great and I've just been browsing around on it! This is the sort of thing I know I need!

ISO Certifications are among the most used world-wide international standards. If your company works with other nations there is every chance having an employee with at least one of the ISO Certification is a required part of doing business. Our certification training classes make sure that you have the skills necessary to pass the ISO exams.
There are a number of ISO Certifications available and we offer courses in ISO 9000, ISO 14000, ISO 26000, ISO 31000, ISO 3166. It doesn't matter what your ISO certifiction needs are, we can provide you with a quality instructor to help you pass the certification exam.
The ISO 9000 Quality management family represents an international consensus on good quality management practices. It consists of standards and guidelines relating to quality management systems and related supporting standards.
ISO training classes include the 9001:2008 - sets out the requirements of a quality management system, 9000:2005 - covers the basic concepts and language, 9004:2009 - focuses on how to make a quality management system more efficient and effective, and 19011 - sets out guidance on internal and external audits of quality management systems.
ISO 14001:2004 sets out the criteria for an environmental management system and can be certified to. It does not state requirements for environmental performance, but maps out a framework that a company or organization can follow to set up an effective environmental management system. It can be used by any organization regardless of its activity or sector. Using ISO 14001:2004 can provide assurance to company management and employees as well as external stakeholders that environmental impact is being measured and improved.
This ISO training course provides guidance on how businesses and organizations can operate in a socially responsible way. This means acting in an ethical and transparent way that contributes to the health and welfare of society.
Risk management - Principles and guidelines, provides principles, framework and a process for managing risk. It can be used by any organization regardless of its size, activity or sector. Using ISO 31000 can help organizations increase the likelihood of achieving objectives, improve the identification of opportunities and threats and effectively allocate and use resources for risk treatment.
However, ISO 31000 cannot be used for certification purposes, but does provide guidance for internal or external audit programs. Organizations using it can compare their risk management practices with an internationally recognized benchmark, providing sound principles for effective management and corporate governance.
This ISO training course covers the International Standard for country codes and codes for their subdivisions. The purpose of ISO 3166 is to establish internationally recognized codes for the representation of names of countries, territories or areas of geographical interest, and their subdivisions. However, ISO 3166 does not establish the names of countries, only the codes that represent them.
Call us today and we'll help setup a class for you!

Fresh water is the most precious resource known to man - without it nothing can survive. For water is quite literally the source of life the reality is however, that we are facing a water crisis of gargantuan proportions. What we need is conservation on a global scale.
FACT: 12 per cent of the world's population uses some 85 per cent of the world's water!
As the earth continues to warm our polar ice caps will melt which will lead to rising sea levels and much of the worlds fresh water becoming saline and unfit for human consumption.
It may be hard for us in the developed world to grasp, but, only a mere 1 per cent of the world's freshwater is suitable for human consumption. 97.5 per cent of the world's water is saline!
Did You Know? The earth's oceans can retain 1000 times more heat than the atmosphere!
Water consumption has increased six fold over the past 100 years - more than double the rate of population growth however, water is not distributed evenly and 1 in 7 people across the globe have no access to freshwater and 2.5 billion people over 40 per cent of the population have no access to sanitation!
97 per cent of all available freshwater is stored deep underground in 'aquifers' and a third of the world's population depend on this 'groundwater' for their very survival, but the reality is that many of the world's natural aquifers are empty, in effect we are running a groundwater overdraft of some 200 billion cubic meters per year - this overdraft will, if current trends continue spiral exponentially as the effects of industrialization and demand continue to soar.
By 1995, a total of 80 countries, home to 40 per cent of the world's population encountered serious water shortages. By 2025 it is anticipated that over two-thirds of the world's population some 66 per cent will be facing severe water shortages and widespread drought. In the same time frame experts predict that our demands for water would have increased by a further 40 per cent!
FACT: Bottled water may seem like the ideal fashion accessory, BUT be warned, we cannot keep taking this valuable resource from our springs and glacial regions, bottle it in plastic! and ship it across the globe without it seriously jeopardizing both the environment and the 1 billion people who have NO water.
Easy Steps To Water Efficiency:
A shower a day can help you save on the amount of water that normally goes down the plug hole - baths use 80 litres of water whilst a 8 minute shower uses just 35!
Turn them off - leaving taps running whilst you are cleaning your teeth for example wastes 5 litres a minute.
Repair - dripping taps or leaky faucets can WASTE as much as 90 litres of water per week.
Don't waste it! - Collect water that normally goes down the plughole and water your plants!
Did You Know? One-third of the UK's domestic water is literally being flushed away! each flush uses 10 litres of water
FACT: Garden sprinklers use an almighty 1000 litres of water every hour.
Water - Water your plants in the evening - this way the plants get maximum benefit!
If you like a clean car - wash it by hand just think of the exercise!
Only run the washing machine and dishwasher when you have a full load!
Install a low-flush toilet - or put a hippo in your cistern!
Don't waste time and money waiting for your tap water to go cold... use old bottles and keep them in the fridge.
Fit a water butt! Water your garden for FREE.

Refinishing a parquet floor is a multi-part job that requires sanding, correcting imperfections in the flooring, applying the new stain and buffing the finish. Prior to beginning the job, check to see if there are any loose boards that need to be re-glued.Continue Reading
To minimize the risk of scratches that detract from the parquet's decorative pattern, avoid sanding against the grain. Orbital or oscillating sanders are good choices for the job. Since parquet floor is thin, use the finest grit that effectively removes the old finish and roughs up the wood to receive the new stain. Be careful not to sand too aggressively since this can damage the surface of the tiles.
After sanding the floor, use filler to correct any imperfections in the wood that have been exposed. Buff the floor to create a smooth, level surface. Hand-scrape the corners of the room to ensure they receive stain properly.
Once the floor is ready to be stained, mix a stain color that matches the floor coloring in adjoining rooms. Apply the stain by hand, moving in the direction of the grain. Lightly sand or buff the floor after the first coat dries. Continue applying coats of finish, followed by light sanding, until you achieve the desired look.Learn more about Home Maintenance

Gun Involved Violence Elimination initiative will provide much-needed resources to Erie County and the City of Buffalo to battle gun violence
By Joanna Pasceri
Public Information Officer
Erie County District Attorney's Office
Acting Erie County District Attorney Michael J. Flaherty, Jr. today joined Mayor Byron W. Brown to announce receipt of a $1.7 million state grant to aid the fight against gun crime.
The Gun Involved Violence Elimination (GIVE) Initiative grant will be shared by the Erie County district attorney's office, the Buffalo Police Department, the Erie County Probation Department, the Erie County Sheriff's Office and Erie County Central Police Services.
"This funding from the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services will help my office and our law enforcement partners hunt down gun offenders and take them off the streets. With every violent criminal prosecuted, our county becomes a stronger, safer place to live," Flaherty said. "I thank Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Criminal Justice Services Executive Deputy Commissioner Michael Green for this tremendous support in our efforts to fight gun crime in our community."
"Reducing and preventing gun violence has been, and will continue to be, a top priority for my administration and the Buffalo Police Department. We welcome these targeted dollars from New York state, which will enable us to enhance our continued efforts to crack down on gun-related crimes," Brown said. "The nearly $577,000 designated for the City of Buffalo, in combination with added prosecutorial and other support services, is greatly appreciated."
Funding highlights:
"We've worked tirelessly to combat gun violence across the state and prevent the senseless tragedies it causes," said Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo. "The GIVE Initiative gives law enforcement agencies the resources necessary to fight gun violence in our streets and helps create a safer and stronger New York for all."
"This funding provided by Gov. Cuomo and DCJS Executive Deputy Commissioner Green has allowed us to continue the important work that we were doing under the IMPACT grant," said Erie County Probation Commissioner Brian McLaughlin. "Under GIVE, two veteran probation officers are devoted full-time to working closely with our partners to reduce gun violence in our community."
Some of the strategies that will be employed as part of the GIVE grant include:
•Hot-spot policing use data to help law enforcement focus resources in areas where crime is most likely to occur.
•Focused deterrence identifies chronic offenders and targets them for enhanced attention, enforcement and prosecution.
•Street outreach programs employ community members to interrupt cycles of violence or prevent retaliation by connecting with individuals involved in violence and helping them change their behavior.
•The GIVE partners host notification sessions, most recently involving Central Park gang members, which are gatherings of high-risk individuals who are addressed by representatives from the district attorney, Buffalo PD, probation, U.S. attorney, Buffalo Peacemakers and members of the community.
The probation department also conducts custom notification sessions, which involve visits to the homes of probationers who are felt to be at highest risk of gun violence. Probation officers, often accompanied by members of the Buffalo PD, sheriff or Buffalo Peacemakers, conduct these visits. When possible, parents of the probationers are involved in the meetings. These visits serve to put the probationers on notice and also are an attempt to work with the probationers to stay violence free and out of jail.
This marks the third year of funding for the GIVE Initiative, which funds a range of law enforcement personnel to battle gun crime, as well as providing overtime pay, equipment, technical assistance and training.
Erie County received the highest amount of the $13.3 million in 2016-17 GIVE funds, which are being distributed to 17 counties across the state.

The U.S. has ordered the evacuation of another consulate overseas in response to a terrorist threat, CNN reported.
According to The Associated Press, the State Department issued the "ordered departure" for all of its diplomats in Lahore, Pakistan, on Thursday after receiving a threat specific to the site's mission.
The exact nature of the threat was not released.
Diplomats will be moved to Islamabad, and only a handful of emergency personnel will be allowed to remain in Lahore.
The State Department also issued a travel warning, urging all U.S. citizens against travel to Pakistan.
"The presence of several foreign and indigenous terrorist groups poses a potential danger to U.S. citizens throughout Pakistan," the travel warning said.
Those who choose to remain in Pakistan are advised to pay attention to their surroundings, bypass hotels that lack stringent security measures, avoid locations where Westerners are known to congregate and steer clear of crowds.
"Protests against the United States are not uncommon and have the potential to turn violent. U.S. citizens in Pakistan are strongly advised to avoid all protests and large gatherings," the warning stated.
A previous travel warning from September 2012 reminded Americans to be aware of "ongoing security concerns in Pakistan" and urged U.S. citizens to defer all non-essential travel to the country.
Earlier this week, the State Dept. ordered the evacuation of all non-essential government personnel at the U.S. embassy in Sanaa, Yemen. A travel warning also urged all Americans to leave the country, as there would be no support available to them.
A threat by al Qaeda triggered the temporary shutdowns of 19 American diplomatic posts across the Middle East and Africa last week.

Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder has written a song for a baseball team that's been down on its luck.
No, it's not the Mariners. Vedder is from Illinois. He's a Chicago Cubs fan.
The song, "All the Way," plays on the faith that has carried fans through a 99-year championship drought:
We are one with the Cubs, with the Cubs we're in love.
Hold our heads tall as the underdogs.
We are not fair-weather, but foul-weather fans.
Like brothers in arms, in the streets and the stands.
The Mariners remain one of only four teams not to have played in the World Series. But we only started trying in 1977. So, you know, it could be worse.
Listen to the song here.
(Via The Windy Citizen)
Update: Turns out the lyrics we originally posted were slightly off. After an e-mail from an agent, we've tweaked "suites" to "streets."
Also, you can download the official version of the song here.

I'm considering walking the Yorkshire 3 peaks in July and wondered if anyone has any tips with regards to training? Cheers
on 03-02-2016 09:45 AM
Hey @hairybakedbean (fun username, haha) - my other half did it last year and tried to do it under 24h.
He told me that the areas he wished he had trained more were thighs and calfs - after the 2nd peak it became really challenging and his muscles were spazzing out, as well as overall endurance.
What he did:
- Ben Nevis alone 1x just to jauge the difficuly
- Went on regular runs (min. 1h)
- Went for week-hikes - about 4/5h at the time
Just make sure you have all the gear you need too - especially if you're doing the 24h gig.
Good luck!

There's no easy way to break this news to you all.
Read this
Basically, Perfect World shut down Runic Games' studio today. I've just woken up to this news, and I'm still in shock. I keep flashing back to Summer of 2008, when the founders' original studio (Flagship Studios) was also shut down but their publisher. Back then the team was working on Mythos, which was the best thing since Diablo 2 and has very little resemblance to it turned into after they left.
When Runic was founded a few weeks after that I wanted to show my support for them. I believed in that team's ability to make great games. I registered this website a couple of weeks later, with the intent to post news and eventually make a wiki. From that moment I've met so many people and gained so many skills while putting so much time and effort into growing this website and helping build the community.
I can't thank the people at Runic Games enough for working with me all of these years. I feel privileged to have had the chance to meet and work with so many great people. I'm so glad I made the effort to go visit the office when Hob was still in its early stages (thanks again for the steak lunch!).
I'm starting to run out of coherent sentences. Runic Games Fansite will still be here for the time being. As you may know, I sold the rights to Olympus Games a little over a year ago so that we could stay online and not lose all the fabulous Torchlight 1 and Torchlight 2 mods. We may merge our content into the ModDrop client even further as time goes on, but for the time being nothing is going to change significantly on this end.
I'll still be around to give you support for your mods, and try to help when you have problems with your game. The Runic Games Discord still appears to be staying where it is, so don't be afraid to stop by and say hello with the community and to the developers.
Thanks again to everyone at Runic. Thank you all for the opportunity to run something like this website. Thank you.

Common Internet romance scams to watch out for involve people who victims meet in chat rooms or on social network or dating sites who profess romantic feelings and then ask for money to handle sudden emergencies, warns the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Sometimes victims who meet their correspondents face-to-face experience injury, go missing or die. Scammers often say that they are U.S. citizens traveling abroad whom the U.S. embassy refuses to help, reports the U.S. Department of State.Continue Reading
Romance scammers typically target vulnerable people who are elderly, disabled, divorced or widowed, explains the FBI. They are aware that these types of people may have money, and they create identities that project their trustworthiness, according to the U.S. Department of State. Their victims may be unaware of their correspondents' true names, ages, genders, nationalities and marital statuses. After gaining their victims' trust and affection, romance scammers often claim to have tragic emergencies such as deaths or injuries in the family, car crashes, or arrests. Some scammers ask for money, while others rely on the good intentions of their victims and expect them to offer it.
People should never send money to anyone they haven't personally met or whose identities they are unable to verify, cautions the U.S. Department of State. They should be careful about what personal details they share on social networking sites. If correspondents claim to be U.S. citizens in trouble overseas, people should refer them to the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. Those who think that they are victims of romance scams should report the problem to the Internet Crime Complaint Center at IC3.gov.Learn more about Crime

Unit Overview:
Artist Estelle Ishigo, the European American wife of a Japanese American, was among the American citizens forced out of California during World War II. Ishigo and her husband, Arthur, were first sent to Pomona Assembly Center and later to Heart Mountain Relocation Center, in a remote area of Wyoming. There, Estelle Ishigo continued her work as a painter. Students reflect on Ishigo's personal letters, artwork, and official documents to relate the themes of tolerance and prejudice to the era, understand that media plays a part in propaganda, and learn how artists convey thoughts and emotions through art.

At home: Bin Laden news good for world
By Kenneth Fine, Ty Johnson and Steve Herring
Published in News on May 2, 2011 1:46 PM
Billy Lane was torn.
It was nearly midnight.
His wife and 7-year-old son had long since gone to sleep.
But news this big only happens "once in a lifetime," he said.
"CNN was reporting that the president was gonna say bin Laden was dead -- that everyone was waiting for Obama to speak to the nation," Lane said. "So I paused the TV and ran upstairs."
At first, his wife, Maggie, wasn't overly thrilled.
"She started cursing me as soon as she opened her eyes. It had been a long day," Lane said with a smile. "Let's just say she changed her tune real quick."
But the couple chose not to wake their sleeping second-grader.
"We told him this morning," Lane said. "All we said was that the Navy caught a really bad guy and brought him to justice."
Nearly 66 years to the day after the death of Adolf Hitler, a man compared to him by Wayne County residents this morning was killed by U.S. service members.
Osama bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaida who took credit for the 9/11 attacks, is dead.
"He's right up there with Hitler," said Jim Dixon, a self-described history buff who was on his way out of Starbucks this morning when he spoke of his initial reaction to the news. "It nearly brought a tear to my eye -- knowing that S.O.B. got what he deserved. I hope he burns in hell for what he did."
Lane agrees.
"This is one of the worst human beings to ever grace the planet -- a real enemy of this country," he said. "One day, (my son) will be old enough, and I'm gonna tell him why this is so huge."
The timing, Mack Denning said, is part of the reason the announcement was so big -- gas prices continue to climb and the economy is seemingly still limping out of a recession.
"America needed that boost," he said.
But it also "brings closure in New York and all over the country," the 67-year-old added.
Regina Wassenhove agreed, and said she hopes bin Laden's demise will lead to a resolution to the war efforts mounting overseas.
The Wayne Community College student, who has been deployed three times with the Air Force, heard about the terrorist's death on the radio during her morning commute.
"Hopefully it shows we're making progress over there and (that) can bring everyone home," she said. "It's about time."
Harold Anderson, 82, was not only encouraged by news of the death itself, but also the manner by which the United States buried bin Laden's remains.
"I'm glad they buried him at sea so they won't build a monument to him," he said. "Justice is done."
Some, though, tried to keep the "achievement" in perspective.
Like Navy veteran Johnnie Wiggins, a Mount Olive resident whose son, Roy, is a Navy petty officer and Explosive Ordnance Disposal expert serving in Iraq.
The elder Wiggins, who is recovering from an illness, said he was sitting in his recliner last night when the news broke about the terrorist leader's death.
"I think that is a grand thing for America, but it is just a bump in the road," he said, adding that the world should not "let its guard down just because one man is dead."

Neural Gum Now for Sale on Amazon.com
BOCA RATON, FL--(Marketwired - February 05, 2016) - Effectve®, a subsidiary company of Baseline Nutritionals®, announced its neural chewing gum 8-12 Hz® is now available for sale on Amazon.com, a leading nutritional products website.
Get into a state of focused relaxation with a new neural supplement in the form of a gum that contains active ingredients to induce the same brain waves -- alpha waves -- that are associated with a deep relaxed feeling that maximizes productivity.
"With all the stress of everyday life, it is often difficult to find relaxation and tranquility to focus, but now there is a solution," said Jon Barron, CEO of Effectve®. "With Effectve® 8-12Hz® now on Amazon.com, a larger audience of consumers can reap the benefits of the neural gum and increase productivity."
The neural gum consists of the patented pairing of nutraceutical ingredients in a gum-based, sublingual delivery system. Sublingual delivery (absorbed through the blood vessels under the tongue) means there is accelerated increased effectiveness. Offering the ingredients in a traditional pill form or ingesting them as part of a functional food does not provide the same effect.
There are no caffeine or stimulants in the gum and, as a result, no crash. The key ingredients are L-theanine and Ashwagandha. L-theanine is one of the primary amino acids found in green tea. It is used for its ability to create a sense of deep relaxation and mental alertness. Studies have shown that it can increase production of alpha waves. Ashwagandha is an ancient Indian root, which has been a proven herbal supplement for more than 4,000 years. It is renowned as a stress reducer, mind-booster, and performance enhancer. Ingredients in the gum are designed to get chewers "in the zone."
Getting "in the zone," where the brain and body are at optimum level for personal best results in anything from playing sports to writing reports, is made easier with Effectve® 8-12Hz® neural gum. If an athlete or business professional normally takes 45 minutes of intense playing or working out before getting "in the zone," it only takes 10 minutes after chewing the patented gum.
"This gum really changes people's state of mind and helps to eliminate stress, and we are excited to help more people through Amazon.com," said Barron.

5 Ways Manchester City Can Build Success for Next SeasonMay 8, 2014
5 Ways Manchester City Can Build Success for Next Season
Manchester City have already secured the League Cup this season and now stand on the brink of their second Premier League title in three years. Manuel Pellegrini's first season must surely be regarded as a success.
They progressed in Europe, too, moving beyond the group stage for the first time in three attempts. It remains a competition the club are desperate to make more of an impression in, and that's likely where the focus will lie this summer when preparing for the next campaign.
Here we take a look at five ways City can look to improve on Pellegrini's first year in charge.
1. Bolster Their Squad with Quality
Before the season got underway, the idea that City had the strongest squad in the Premier League was pervasive throughout the media.
It's arguably true given no side in the league has a complete squad; however, the level to which City's options were lauded now seems somewhat overdone.
They rely heavily on a core of world-class players—Pablo Zabaleta, Vincent Kompany, Fernandinho, Yaya Toure, David Silva, Samir Nasri and Sergio Aguero—and when one or more is missing, City can often appear vulnerable.
For a side intent on dominating domestically and becoming one of Europe's elite, further squad strength is needed.
Take central midfield as a case in point. Fernandinho and Toure have formed the finest pairing in the league, yet beyond them City's options are somewhat limited, with Javi Garcia their only real replacement given the injury troubles of Jack Rodwell.
Garcia has improved immeasurably and has become an important player when City look to keep things tighter, but he lacks pace and speed of thought, with City in need of better as their first reserve.
Extra quality is needed to augment their group of stars if they are to push on and better cope with the rigours of four competitions, and with a number of departures in the summer, the need may well be increased.
2. Show Some Tactical Flexibility
Pellegrini's tactical mantra has been simple: We play one way and alter for no one.
For the most part, his relentless commitment to attacking football has worked. However, there are occasions when flexibility is needed, and the Chilean will surely be looking to demonstrate that more often next season.
Liverpool away and Bayern Munich at home stand out as two examples of Pellegrini's dogmatic nature stifling City. Both times, they were too open, picked apart in the early stages and making a recovery almost impossible.
Keeping things tight in certain matches and waiting for an opportunity to strike is not a sign of weakness. Pellegrini is likely to have learned that this season, and City will be better for it next time out.
3. Sign a Top-Class Centre-Back
If there's one position in City's first XI that needs sorting, it's a long-term partner for Kompany.
Martin Demichelis, the 33-year-old Argentinian signed from Atletico Madrid, has performed superbly well in recent weeks, but with his advancing years and Joleon Lescott's likely departure, a top-drawer centre-half is an absolute priority.
Porto's Eliaquim Mangala was targeted by City in January, only for the deal to suffer an 11th-hour collapse. It's likely he will be high on City's list of summer targets.
4. Establish and Develop the Etihad Campus
With City's intention to become financially self-sufficient well on course given their increased revenue, the next part of that journey is to begin producing their own homegrown, world-class stars.
The opening of the 80-acre Etihad Campus this summer is a significant step in the right direction.
And not only will it be home to all the youth teams overseen by Patrick Vieira, it will also boast training and medical facilities for the first team, as well as a team hotel to make matchday preparations as straightforward as possible.
It's an exciting project, and one that hasn't garnered nearly enough attention, with City making a bigger investment in youth development than any other side in the country.
5. Continue to Believe in Attacking Football
Pellegrini has implemented some major changes. The players seem happier, man-management is seen as crucial and attacking football is central to everything City do.
And although some tactical flexibility is required, Pellegrini's attacking philosophy has, for the most part, been a revelation. City have played some fantastic football, scored 100 league goals and swept aside a succession of teams.
It's an approach which is working, and one that should be continued to ensure the club's new attacking identity becomes ingrained in the culture of the club for years to come.

By Harro Ten Wolde
FRANKFURT (Reuters) - German microchip maker Infineon raised its full-year sales outlook after demand for its energy efficiency, mobility and security chips, particularly from the car industry, helped second-quarter results beat expectations.
"Business was better in the second quarter than expected. Three out of four segments increased revenue," Infineon's Chief Executive Peter Bauer said in a statement on Thursday.
Infineon - whose customers include Japanese carmaker Hyundai, software maker Microsoft and the U.S. Government Printing Office - said it now sees full fiscal-year sales declining by a low single-digit percentage.
It previously saw a mid single-digit percentage decline.
Operating profit excluding special items rose 2 percent in the January to March period compared with the previous quarter to 144 million euros ($189.4 million), exceeding analysts' average forecast of 131 million in a Reuters poll.
The semiconductor industry hit a slump last year as demand for consumer gadgets slowed in Europe and elsewhere due to economic uncertainties at a time when vendors had invested heavily in new production gear.
Israeli mobile chip designer Ceva Inc on Wednesday cut its 2012 earnings and revenues estimates due to weaker-than-expected sales at key customer Nokia.
Infineon said its decision in 2010 to sell its wireless chip unit to Intel was paying off as it reduced its exposure to the volatile mobile phone market.
Infineon said its automotive unit, which accounts for 43 percent of revenue, continued to perform well, with unit sales up 9 percent from the previous quarter to 425 million euros.
The company also raised its full-year outlook for its operating margin, now expected at a mid-teen percentage, up from a previous forecast of a low to mid-teens percentage.
Second-quarter operating margin came in at 14.6 percent.
Infineon shares were marked up 1.4 percent in early Frankfurt trading, while the German blue chip DAX index was indicated to open 0.5 percent higher.
Infineon shares have gained almost 30 percent this year, outperforming the sector, which has won 7 percent.
The stock trades at a 12-month forward price-to-earnings ratio of 15.1, about 43.7 percent below its 10-year median.

"Well there's two, actually. There's one I was talking about the other night with a friend of mine — 'Once Upon a Time in America' — and 'Ben-Hur' with Charlton Heston and Stephen Boyd.
"I just remember the gut feeling of watching 'Ben-Hur' on that big Cinemascope screen. That chariot races still hold up — it's unbelievably exciting. 'The Phantom Menace' had a chariot race, didn't it? But that was all CGI. Not in 1959 when they did 'Ben-Hur.'"
Liam Neeson has been one of Hollywood's most sympathetic leading men for over three decades, having headlined such diverse films as "The Grey," "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace," "Kinsey," and Best Picture-winner "Schindler's List." He reprises his role as the deadly capable Bryan Mills in this week's "Taken 2."

Sharks control their own destiny
Sharks Director of Rugby Jake White is well aware his table-topping team has a huge target on their collective backs.
However, the Durban-based franchise remain in a position of power as they head into the second half of their Super Rugby season.
Their next challenge comes in Durban on Friday, when they host the Highlanders, before they head off on a four-match tour of Australasia – where they will face the Rebels, Brumbies, Crusaders and Blues.
White, speaking at a media briefing in Durban ahead of Friday's home game, said everyone wants to beat the top team in the competition.
"Last week I made a point to the players that the one win the Cheetahs would have picked would have been against the top of the table Sharks," the Sharks boss said.
"As this competition progresses, every team says they want to beat the team top of the standings.
"The Highlanders are here, they're on tour and they've had a bye. I have no doubt they want to play as well as they can and get a win."
White said there is still a way to go in this competition and defeat on Friday would not be a train wreck, but for his team it is vital to keep on winning.
"What we want to do is control our own destiny," he said, adding: "[We must] make sure we get a home Final and home semifinal.
"And to do that, you have to win as many game as possible, whether they are home or away. Whether the teams have many All Blacks or many Wallabies, it's irrelevant. We want to win those games.
"We want to make sure we win the competition and the simple thing is we have got to beat everyone in front of us, regardless of who they are. We have to be focussed on getting the job done.
"I have no doubt that the target gets bigger and bigger on our backs because people want to knock us over.
"As I said when I joined the Union, I'm not going to be embarrassed with the fact that we have a good squad, or that there are expectations of us doing well in this competition. And if that means people want to beat us, we'd much rather be in that position than be at the bottom of the standings with no points, trying to scramble for a win."
White also defended his team against criticism that their 'win at any cost' approach means they are not entertaining enough.
"There are no prize for a game being a spectacle, only for winning a game," the Sharks boss said.
"Sometimes you have to win games the way we did last week. Everyone played a part in the way that game unfolded. Credit to us in that the Cheetahs – who have scored so many tries against so many good defences – didn't risk the chance of playing against us.
"That meant that they view our defence and the way we play as a massive strength which we see as a bonus."

India's Ministry of Environments and Forests released its greenhouse gas inventory of 2007 emissions Tuesday, making it the first developing country to publish emissions data this year. The ministry also announced that it will now publish an updated inventory every two years.
The Indian government most recently released emissions data in 2006 based on 1994 figures. Since then, India's emissions have grown at an average annual rate of 3.3 percent, increasing from 1.25 billion tons in 1994 to 1.9 billion tons in 2007. The report analyzes emissions from electricity use, transportation, agriculture, and land use change, the last of which actually serves as a net carbon sink in India, in contrast to many developing countries where deforestation is a major source of emissions.
India is now the world's fifth-largest emitter of greenhouse gases, ranking behind China, the United States, the European Union, and Russia. When releasing the data, Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh emphasized that India's emissions are still one-quarter of those of the top emitters, the United States and China. He further highlighted that in the same period, from 1994-2007, India reduced the emissions intensity of its economy by 30 percent. India has announced plans to reduce emissions intensity by a further 20-25 percent between 2005 and 2020.
The Indian Network of Climate Change Assessment (INCCA), a network of scientists and research institutions established last October by Minister Ramesh, produced the report. In addition to the greenhouse gas inventory, INCCA has announced plans to assess climate change impacts in India and conduct long-term ecosystem monitoring. INCCA's next report, a review of regional impacts from climate change on water resources, agriculture, forests, and human health, is scheduled for release in November.

Shakira met with a group of teenage girls in Azerbaijan on Friday (12Oct12) to talk to them about the power of education.
As part of her role as an UN Ambassador, the superstar took time out before her concerts in the the capital Baku to chat with the adolescents about how important studying is and how they can promote healthy living through sport.
After her meeting, she said, "Sport is a particularly good way of reaching out to girls as well as boys, and can provide them with opportunities to connect with others socially. Sport, like education, can help girls become equal players in society."

There are currently 180 bodies stacked up at the Los Angeles morgue amid delays in processing that have forced families to wait weeks to get the bodies of the their loved ones.
For example, Deontra LaJohn Gant was shot to death in June 2015, but his body was dark from decomposition by the time it was returned to the family weeks later.
According to the Los Angeles Times, "Toxicology tests are taking more than six months to complete, with a backlog of about several hundred." This backlog led to the example of 19-year-old Katie Dix, "who went into respiratory and cardiac distress seven months ago at a music festival." Although "the Cal State Channel Islands student's body has been released to her family, the cause of her death still hasn't been determined."
On Friday, the delay resulted in the resignation of county medical examiner Mark Fajardo, who is returning to "his former position as the chief forensic pathologist in Riverside County." When Fajardo was hired, the 2013 budget for the examiner's office was "$32 million." He said that wasn't enough. The budget for the most recent fiscal year–which came in at $35.5 million–was not significantly increased. Fajardo said he believed the examiner's office "served the people of Los Angeles very well" considering the budget.
Other staff in the examiner's officer are also "quitting for better positions elsewhere."

Alan G. MacDiarmid
The NanoTech Institute Mourns Passing of Nobel Laureate Alan G. MacDiarmid, 1927-2007
Dr. MacDiarmid held the James Von Ehr Distinguished Chair in Science & Technology at The University of Texas at Dallas while maintaining his Blanchard Chair in Chemistry, at a reduced level of input, at the University of Pennsylvania. He also has Institutes dedicated in his name in China, New Zealand, India and Brazil.
In 2000 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry together with colleagues Alan Heeger, and Hideki Shirakawa for the discovery of metallic conductivity in organic polymers.
Dr. MacDiarmid was born in New Zealand 78 years ago and after obtaining his higher education at the University of New Zealand, University of Wisconsin and Cambridge University he joined the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania in 1955. He was author/coauthor of over 600 research papers and approximately 25 patents. He was also the recipient of numerous awards and honorary degrees both nationally and internationally.
He was married to Gayl Gentile. His first wife, Marian, of 36 years, died in 1990. He had 4 children and 9 grandchildren. He traveled extensively on professional matters within the USA and overseas and attempts to spend remaining time with his family at their vacation home at Lake Wallenpaupack in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania.
His most recent scientific interests were concerned with blending the now well-established field of electronic/conducting organic polymers with the new, emerging field of nanoscience by synthesizing and studying nanostructures, in particular hollow microspheres, of these polymers. The immediate research objective was to elucidate the properties and mechanism by which these structures are formed in aqueous media; the ultimate ob jective was to fabricate nanoelectronic devices based on electronic organic polymers.

Sounding off over Sol 4
Tottenham Hotspur (Spurs) Football Club is located in North London. The club is also known as Spurs. Tottenham's home ground is White Hart Lane. The club motto is Audere est Facere (To dare is to do).
The fourth and final part of your Sound Offs on the subject of Sol Campbell's leaving. We had a massive response, and we apologise for being unable to publish them all.
Obviously it's not good to lose Sol, but if his heart's not in Tottenham then let him go! He shouldn't have led all the fans on saying he wasn't going when he probably knew he was. DO NOT let Anderton treat us the same way - if he won't sign, let him go and let another club suffer his injury spasms! Let's look to the future; Davies, Doherty, King, Thelwell, Young etc. Just a couple of experienced players around them and just maybe we can show Sol what he's missing at his so called "Beloved Club"!
Ben Henry
Sol was and is a world class defender - no doubt about it! I do not think he will missed as much as everyone thinks. The big disappointment is not that he is going but that we have been robbed of nearly £20m! We should have got rid of him a long time ago and brought in some real class players in midfield. It is the same old story at Spurs, buy in some good players let some good ones go (Sol, maybe Anderton) and we are back to square one. I hope I am wrong!
Simon Lemos
Unless we find a suitable replacement it may have a very large impact. This move has nothing to do with the game it has to do with bank balances. Sol has been with the club for a very long time now. But, no player is worth the amount of dosh he's asking. He'll need his own Securicor van to get to the pitch at this rate.
Jim Nix
I am saddened by some of the comments made about Sol and the way he has apparently behaved. Typical fickle Spurs fans comments coming to the fore. The man has given his all to the club for many years and has been our most outstanding player for the past few seasons. He is an ambitious player and should be looking for success. Sadly I agree with him in that there is little evidence that Spurs share that drive and ambition to become a top 3 or 4 club in the Premiership. Sheringham (who I admire greatly) and Southgate are not players who are going to transform the club. Good luck Sol - I wished you had stayed and I wished the club had shared your vision - let's now see what ENIC are about.
James Collins
Why should we break the bank to keep Sol? £80,000 a week would have made him better paid than Beckham, Rivaldo and Keane - is he really THAT good? I don't think so.
Andrew Henderson
I believe it`s time to let the youngsters play. I know experience counts for a lot but how can these players get experience of quality football in the reserve team. Davies, King, Young and Doherty in particular look like becoming exceptional players and I'm sure there's one or two others waiting too. OK we have to bring in a few players but we've got to let these players play or they will want to leave, to get first team football somewhere else. Sol is a big loss but I'm sure we can carry on without him, we can't do any worse surely.
Joseph Catwright
Lets be sensible about all this Sol Campbell hysteria for a minute. Everywhere I read people are talking about this 'world class' defender that we have lost. Have I missed something? Surely to be a world class player you would have to have an excellent all round game. Is Sol really world class? In fact, is he actually that good anyway or has a better than average player shone in a below average team. Sol has some of the worst distribution I have seen, his positioning at times is atrocious and more often than not his strength and pace get him out of trouble. If he goes to Spain he is in for a big shock. Ledley King looks to have nearly everything and if he keeps on this track then he will be 10 times the player that Sol is.
Luke Kennedy
What do the following players have in common? Hoddle, Waddle, Gazza, Ginola. Answer: They all left Spurs and remained icons in the eyes of the fans. Look at the cheer Gazza gets every time he comes back. I'm afraid Sol has lost his right to that mantle by damaging the club when departing. He knew what he was doing two years ago when he kept on refusing to talk. Call that commitment! Hardly. And as for Darren Anderton sticking his penny's worth in. What a joke. We may not be the finished article next year, but I'm impressed with the start ENIC have made under very difficult circumstances and I think we will improve. Good luck Glenn and to Sol, well, thank you but I'm one fan who won't miss you...
D Bathmaker
All this talk of loyalty is making me laugh. Sol's just like every other player around, looking after his best interests, and who can blame him. If you want to see players who play for the shirt you're going to need a time machine, that era is a long way in the past now. We should be wishing Sol well, (we've all worshipped him for years), and maybe in the future he'll feel that Spurs is where his heart is and be back. While we continue being also-rans, we cannot expect top class players to spend their whole careers here. That said, I believe HOD is the man to make us great again, COME ON U SPURS.
Andy Saunders
We got big Sol for nothing by raising him as a youth player and have lost him for nothing due to personal ambition on his part. Do we really need a player that is more interested in how far he can get in the Premiership and Europe and not how far the team can get in the leagues? I think not, because the top-flight teams push for team spirit and rapport amongst the players and not individuality. The fans are cheering on the team not one player and I think Sol has forgotten this.
