YA Bloggers Want...Fire and Friction: Bookalicious
I first met Pam at the Teen Author Carnival event at BEA - she walked right up to me and introduced herself, making me feel completely welcome. Then when she was stopping in Seattle, we met up with blogger Sarah from Sarah's Random Musings and had a lot of fun talking about books. Then Pam surprised and honored me by including TMAS in her fantastic post, When Will I Grow Up and Read Adult Books?
I'm very excited to welcome Pam to my blog!
There are several things wrong and several things right with the YA book scene at the moment. For one I don't need all the parental hate all the time. Doesn't some teen out there actually like their parents?
I could also do without the love triangle all the time. I get tired of reading one girl with two cookie cutter guys vying for her undying teen love that we all know will last forever anyway right?
The boys in YA have become one dimensional. They are either evil or good, sexy or dorky with no real personality of their own. Just a checklist of stereotypes covered.
I want more action and adventure, I want more books I can recommend to teen boys. I want real love, not some weirdo thing with multiple boys lining up and down the block for our protagonist. Give me fire, friction, and real emotion.
I have a favorite book right now, it's PLAIN KATE by Erin Bow (who has a stripper pole in her office, I mean win right?). It focuses on the character who has a hard life, and an even harder quest. She doesn't fall in love, there are no boys hounding her, she kept my attention without all of that. Check it out!
Thanks, Pam!
Readers, are you tired of the typical YA conflicts? Love triangles? Parental hatred? One-dimensional characters? Are these staples of teen books easy ways to get the reader sucked into the story, or have they lost meaning? What kind of real emotional experience do you hunger for?
Comment to win real, awesome books! (US only, sorry, wonderful non-US people!)
This What YA Bloggers Want series is in honor of YALSA's Teen Read Week and National Book Month!
18 comments:
Sadly, yes. I was at a writer's conference over the weekend and this subject came up many times during discussions. Writers, editors and readers especially have tired of these conflicts. Glad you brought this up!ReplyDelete
Nice. I like what Pam mentioned. It seems like there are love triangles in such a majority of YA. I, myself, don't find it annoying unless:ReplyDelete
a) The girl (protag. in most cases) is a complete idiot and isn't even worth all that attention.
b) The girl chooses the "perfect" guy at the end, and I'll then be tempted to throw the book across the room.
(à la Twilight, et al.)
I believe there's still a lot of YA out there that offers adventure and action and all that good stuff.
However, many of these are reliant on a "romance" between the protagonist and some random guy who is hot and perfect; who is devoid of any real personality besides being hot and perfect and totally hers for the taking. We see a lot of this in paranormal novels, though it is not just exclusive to that genre. Lots of authors pull it off well.
...and etc. Not entering, just thought I'd comment. ;)
I agree about the flat guy characters...and the too perfect ones.ReplyDelete
I don't have to have romance and it doesn't have to be the main point of the book, but I certainly do like romance...different versions than the love triangle and "perfect love"...but less flat guy characters would help with that too.
I absolutely HATE love triangles! It seems like there's so much of that nowadays in YA books. But, when there isn't a love triangle, it seems like the character's relationship with another person is so rushed! Why can't there just be a good action adventure book anymore? Why is there all of this sappy rushed teen romance?ReplyDelete
ako4eggs at comcast dot net
I agree on the permeation of Love Triangles, too. It was hard enough for me to like ONE guy when I was in high school - 2 was unheard of back then.ReplyDelete
And YES PLEASE to action and adventure! The stories that make you flip from page to page, wondering what happens next, the stories that are completely immersive and light all senses on fire and have you holding your breath in anticipation. Please, please, please.
Ahh...I absolutely love Pam! She's fantastic and I love her opinions on things. Spot on with the lack of strong leading boys in YA fiction. I've read a few in the recent past, The Replacement by Yovanoff having one of them, but they are few and far between. I'd love to see more! Great point!ReplyDelete
I'm so tired of love triangles. If I read another paranormal YA book with a love triangle I will throw up. I'd like some fresher YA relationships and characters who have flaws. i've noticed many Mary-Sue's lately.ReplyDelete
Great comments guys. I am starting to see a trend with the word paranormal. Maybe I need to read more outside of the genre for less stereotypical characters.ReplyDelete
I love action/ adventure YA. I think of John Green's Paper Towns and Libba Bray's Going Bovine. These books are full of twists and turns and are rather unpredictable. More road trips and mystery and craziness! That's what I want.ReplyDelete
I'm tired of high school. Life goes on past high school, I understand that teenagers go to high school, but I just wish that instead of the conflict revolving around the hierarchy of the teenage angst, the book could present the problem outside the hallowed halls of Thomas Jefferson, Bejamin Franklin or Theodore Roosevelt High.ReplyDelete
Party by Tom Leveen is a great example of how "high schoolers" can play out a plot outside of high school.
I'm also exhausted from reading books where the main characters end up dating. Or saying those words that come to mean less in the YA world every time they are uttered. "I love you/" Like the cux of the whole novel depended on the one saying it to the other. I'm not sure Cathy and Heathcliff ever said it, and Mr.Darcy said it right, and so I ask where is the romance? I know that not everyone finds their soul mate as teenagers, but some people do, others might have grown up as best friends. Instead of the stakes being so high for "I love you" I would love for the book to revolve around forever, around true love, not fake dating.
The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson is my example as to how this works perfectly and comes across as realistic.
No more cheerleaders. No more Jocks. I want to ban them!
I'm exhausted by clichés. It's a word I use (none too kindly) over at my blog. When something about the book is described as cliché, you can put money down that I didn't like it.
Also, I HATE, yep, caps, HATE, I did it again, all the paranormal retellings of the classics. Just stop, okay, get your own ideas, stop making Austen and Bronte turn over in their graves.
Good topic, helped me vent!
Gabrielle <3
I'm loving all of these great comments. Thanks, Pam, for opening up a cool topic.ReplyDelete
Great suggestions on how to make stories and conflicts more interesting. I'm tired of some of the love triangles and the kids that are so gorgeous too.ReplyDelete
This discussion of non-beautiful boys makes me think of Laurie Halse Anderson's WINTERGIRLS. The boy, Elijah, is not at all attractive by description, and yet his actions are what drew me to him. By the end, I fully trusted him to do the right thing (or at least his version of the right thing).ReplyDelete
Hey, Pam, if you haven't read it, pick it up! Contemporary at its best! :-D
I have read Wintergirls and it was my favorite read of last year. I named my son Elijah because I fell in love with the name! Don't tell anyone how lame I am :PReplyDelete
Pam, I agree with you, and what drives me even more crazy about the hoards of boys that fall for the MC is that so often the MC (girl) isn't even anything special (or at least we're not told WHY she is). So many times I fall in love with a guy's personality/character traits but I can't for the life of me see what he finds attractive in the girl. It's like just because she's the POV, she's automatically supposed to be amazing. I don't get it!ReplyDelete
I'm with you about the action and adventure also! And I love a good mystery! Great post!

You are so right! I get so mad when authors go all out and say that teens don't like their parents or get along with them. I'm a teen and I love my parents. I know MANY, MANY, friends who love their parents. Oh and is it a shocker that there aren't as many love triangles in real life are there are in books? Honestly, the most love triangles I've heard about are in books…seriously. In high school, fifteen guys don't fall for one girl. We don't have CLIQUES for goodness sake! We really don't! And what happened to the good old mysteries or horrors for YA? I miss them and so do a lot of us teens.I just don't get why authors continue to write about these topics when we DON'T WANT TO READ ABOUT IT!ReplyDelete
I would like to see:ReplyDelete
more traditional/epic/quest type fantasies (such as Brightly Woven by Alexandra Bracken or StarCrossed by Elizabeth Bunce)
Less love triangles, more love stories where there is only one potential love interest
more historical fiction
and I second the suggestion of books where the character's parents aren't either dead or hated! how about some books where the main character has a good relationship with his/her parents.

We at Bannockburn firmly believe that the first five years of
life are unparalleled in importance in building character, love,
and a positive response to Christ and the church. During this
early childhood period the child develops attitudes that will
likely last a lifetime. He learns whether the world he lives in is a
comfortable, stimulating and responsive place or discouraging,
belittling, non-supportive and non-caring. He develops his
concept of himself. He will begin to see that God created a
worthy, valued, able, learning, and problem-solving individual.
The attitudes and values, which he learns in his day-to-day
living, will have a cumulative effect on his future.
We want your preschooler's time at church to be happy, well
directed, and rewarding. Your child is very important to us.
Therefore, we have sought to provide Bible centered education
and care, utilizing loving teachers, clean and safe surroundings
and a well-balanced curriculum designed to meet the needs of
preschool children.
Your child's day may look something like this:
Arrival 9:00am
Learning - center activities 9:00 - 10:00am
Snack 10:00 - 10:30am
Outside or gym play 10:30 - 11:00am
Group time 11:00 - 11:15am

Exascale supercomputers will have millions or even hundreds of millions of processing cores and the potential for nearly billion-way parallelism. Exascale compute and data storage architectures will be critically dependent on the interconnection network. The most popular interconnection network for current and future supercomputer systems is the torus (e.g.,k-ary, n-cube). This paper focuses on the modeling and simulation of ultra-large-scale torus networks using Rensselaers Optimistic Simulator System (ROSS). We compare real communication delays between our model and the actual torus network from Blue Gene/L using 2,048 processors. Our performance experiments demonstrate the ability to simulate million-node to billion-node torus networks.a The torus network model for a 16-million-node configuration shows a high degree of strong scaling when going from 1,024 cores to 32,768 cores on Blue Gene/L, with a peak event-rate of nearly 5 billion events per second. We also demonstrate the performance of our torus network model configured with 1 billion nodes on both Blue Gene/L and Blue Gene/P systems. The observed best event rate at 128K cores is 12.36 billion per second on Blue Gene/P. processors.

Instead of being given a helping hand, Florida's public schools are being dealt a big sucker punch. HB 7069, if signed by Gov. Scott, would devastate public schools, shortchange teachers, and finance a huge giveaway to corporate charter school chains.
Call Gov. Scott today at 850-488-7146 and say you want him to veto HB 7069.
HB 7069 contains a number of bad ideas that probably would not have passed on their own. So House Speaker Richard Corcoran and other anti-public school legislators worked behind closed doors and put everything into this single bill. Here are two of the biggest problems with HB 7069:
- It takes critical funding that could be used to improve traditional neighborhood public schools and instead uses these funds to develop a parallel system of charter schools and line the pockets of corporate owned school management companies.
- Instead of funding needed pay raises for teachers across the board, HB 7069 continues to fund the so-called "Best and Brightest" scholarship which rewards bonuses based on high school SAT and ACT scores. It goes without saying that someone's test scores from high school have very little bearing on their teaching abilities.
Legislators cynically packaged these destructive measures with testing reform and a recess time requirement in an effort to sway pro-public school legislators and advocates. We're not fooled. Thousands of public school advocates have flooded Gov. Scott's office with phone calls and emails in an effort to stop HB 7069. We need your voice, too.
We must stop this attack on public education. Call Gov. Scott today at 850-488-7146 and urge him to veto HB 7069.
Floridians want a strong and well-funded public school system so that a child's opportunity to learn isn't dependent on where they live or whether they win a school lottery. They don't want to waste precious resources on a parallel system of private school vouchers and charters that is less accountable to citizens and has produced mixed results at best. Thanks for all you do to ensure every Florida child receives a good education and an opportunity to succeed.

Tidewater reports weak second quarter
Tidewater Inc. (NYSE:TDW ) announced second quarter net earnings for the period ended September 30, 2009, of $98.2 million, or $1.90 per common share, on revenues of $295.5 million. Included in net earnings for the September 30, 2009 quarter is a $34.3 million, or $0.66 per common share, tax benefit resulting from a favorable resolution of tax litigation.
Hit by lower vessel operating margins, second quarter earnings fell short of Wall Street expectations.
"While we still believe margins will improve in the back end of fiscal 2010, we are more pessimistic regarding the remainder of the year than we were three months ago," CFO Quinn Fanning said in a conference call.
Chief Executive Dean Taylor said Tidewater was looking at a late 2010 or early 2011 pick-up in activity depending on customer demand.
For the same quarter last year, net earnings were $95.4 million, or $1.85 per common share, on revenues of $346.8 million. The immediately preceding quarter ended June 30, 2009, had net earnings of $44.5 million, or $0.86 per common share, on revenues of $ 326.6 million. Included in net earnings for the June 30, 2009 quarter was a non-cash charge totaling $48.6 million ($47.7 million after tax, or $0.93 per common share) related to the companyÕs Venezuelan operations. As a result of the seizure of vessels and certain other assets during the June quarter in Venezuela pursuant to a May 2009 Venezuelan law and the continued nonpayment of outstanding receivables from Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA) and an affiliate of PDVSA, the company recorded in the June 2009 quarter a $3.8 million charge equal to the net book value of the assets seized and a $44.8 million provision to fully reserve accounts receivable due from PDVSA-related entities.

How to Feel When a Lower Belt Taps You
People come to BJJ from all different walks of life. Some people are young when they start and some are old. People also have very different goals with regards to the gentle art; some want fitness, others may want medals.
If you're older, it is inevitable that a younger, stronger, faster lower belt will tap you; especially if they are investing more time than you on the mats. If you're not one of the older guys or gals, then maybe it's a good wake-up call. Sometimes we need a little humbling on the mat and that's okay. On our journey there will be plenty of times that we get "caught" by someone who really shouldn't be catching us but these are growing experiences in which we learn a very important lesson in humility.
And remember, like Grandfather Helio once said, "There is no losing in jiu-jitsu. You either win or you learn."
In short, don't feel bad if a lower belt taps you, embrace it and learn from it.

British peatland stores at least 3.2 billion tons of carbon, making it by far the country's most important carbon sink and among the most important in the world.
But peat is also a massive store of carbon, described as Europe's equivalent of the tropical rainforest. Wind farms, and the miles of new roads and tracks needed to service them, damage or destroy the peat and cause significant loss of carbon to the atmosphere, where it contributes to climate change.
...more than half of all British onshore wind development, current and planned, is on peat soils.
The Telegraph
Richard Lindsay of the University of East London, said: "If we are concerned about CO2, we shouldn't be worrying first about the rainforests, we should be worrying about peatlands.
"The world's peatlands have four times the amount of carbon than all the world's rainforests. But they are a Cinderella habitat, completely invisible to decision- makers."

Billions of tons of carbon sequestered in the world's peat bogs could be released into the atmosphere in the coming decades as a result of global warming, according to a new analysis.
...release of even a small percentage of the carbon locked away in the world's peat bogs would dwarf emissions of manmade carbon, scientists at Harvard University, Worcester State College, and the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology write in the current issue of the journal Nature Geoscience.

• In certain conditions, wind turbines actually consume electricity. To protect them from damage from cold or warm spells, the machinery is heated or cooled. It is not unheard of for the daily net contribution of all the UK's wind turbines to be negative.
• Between 2002 and 20120, the UK gave £5.6 billion in subsidies to the wind energy sector. That amounts to nearly £200,000 per worker in the sector. The government claim that their 'Green Deal' and other green policies will create jobs, but the evidence shows that their plans are amongst the least effective and most expensive make-work schemes ever conceived.
• The average wind turbine produces energy 75 per cent of the time. However, because wind speeds vary, a turbine's output also varies between nothing and its capacity. The average wind turbine only produces 28 percent of its total capacity.

One has to admit this, before wind power generation began to be implemented in a larger way, the environmentalists were pushing for their increased use.
Now that it is happening, there seem to be a ton of overlooked reasons for the environmentalists to oppose them.

They do need to be located in windy areas to be efficient. Maybe the UK is just not suitable for wind farms. Unless it is in Dover, which you do not like.

A MAN was today (Wednesday, August 21) being questioned by police after a seven-year-old girl was paid to get into a car.
Katie Sue Jones, from Ellesmere Port, ran away when a man pulled up in his car and offered her #1 to play with him.
Detectives last night arrested a 37-year-old man in connection with the incident and were interviewing him.
A spokesman for Cheshire Police said: "A 37-year-old local man has been arrested.
"It's part of our on-going investigation and we will know more later when we have spoken to the man."
The incident happened at 7.30pm last Thursday when a man driving what is believed to be an H-registered silver and grey Fiat Panda pulled up where Katie was playing with friends in Acre Road, Little Sutton.
Neighbour Shane Bedford gave chase to the car on his bike but was unable to catch it.
Mr Bedford, 34, said today many people had been left shocked by the incident.
He said: "There's not been many kids playing out in the street since last week which is unusual because there's always loads around.
"Parents have been left very nervous and seem to be keeping their children inside."
Police are encouraging parents to teach their children to do just as Katie did.
They have also reiterated their appeal for information. Ring Ellesmere Port police on 01244 350000.

Of course! But wouldn't it be nice, for once, to let someone handle your plans? Sacrebleu Paris' personal travel assistance will guide the adventurers at heart through the most unique and sought-after urban experiences in the City of Light.
Putting unique luxury at the heart of its strategy, Sacrebleu offers you an opportunity to live your Paris dream with exclusive service, available 7 days a week.
Stacey and Adam, New York
A very long overdue thank you for the wonderful trip to Paris that you and Adam planned.
Everything was perfect from the moment Stefan picked us up at the airport in the beautiful sedan that your company uses.
Relais Christine was beautiful and just right for us. Besides being such a pretty hotel with a delicious breakfast each day, the staff were warm, helpful and friendly. And we loved the neighborhood. It was close to everything that we wanted to see and it was fun to explore the streets.
The tour guides that you matched us with were great as well. And I don't know if you heard, but Celia, our guide for Versailles, was also celebrating her birthday the very same day as me! All the guides were knowledgeable and engaging.
And the restaurants! Fantastic choices! Each one was an experience to remember, especially the grand finale, Alain Ducasse!
You created a beautiful memorable visit, and I also appreciate the itinerary provided for us. That will be a keepsake of mine to remember this fantastic visit to Paris.
Much appreciation,
Angelina, Los Angeles
My husband and I tried bespoke travel in the winter of 2018 for comfort and convenience but also to have an extraordinary trip as much as we can have it in 6 days in Paris. Sacrebleu!, but it was a great success due entirely to Stephanie and her team, to wit: simply from our expressed desires (profound surveillance of historical sites, high-end dining, circumvention of hazards) Stephanie structured an itinerary that added unique places that could not have been known or accessed on our own (Le Gabriel was exceptionally exclusive), arranging private tours that imparted core knowledge, sure, but also deep stories and extra details (Notre Dame/Sacre Couer/MontMartre) as well as secret interiors (Versailles) that perfected our foray into such sites which visits cannot otherwise be easily repeated. And her people were fun, distinct local personalities who were extra-hospitable – drivers and tour guides who went out of their way when not expected, erudite in their knowhow yet casually-mannered, all of whom boosted our experience of Paris as they weaved into our conversations surprising anecdotes, even humorous travails about Paris and its local customs and ways. So rich! (As you look on at the beauty that Paris truly is.) Not least and quite unexpectedly, Stephanie is a giving, young entrepreneur with a sundry of contacts in Paris as she arranged for our booked tickets and an amazing basket of gifts, flowers even to be already present in our room upon arrival! While there are templates that many companies in Europe follow for private tours that seem ordinary now in comparison, we highly recommend Sacrebleu-Paris for your next visit. In retrospect, as first-time visitors we could have gotten repeatedly lost many times over but this will not happen to you if Sacreblue-Paris has your back; your well-being is in their hands (especially as you have access to a local cell phone as well as assistance 12 hours a day during your stay). So do not hesitate to use this bespoke company for your first or next journey to this wonderful, well-visited City of Lights that is none other than the City of Paris!

The beer guy disclosed, unlike the prof
Two research reports were in the news this week. One is about beer. The other is about fracking. Let's talk beer first.
The Texas Craft Brewers Guild released an economic study Monday predicting that the 78 current small craft breweries and brew pubs that now make up an industry with an economic impact of $608 million could grow almost 10-fold to a $5.6 billion industry in just eight years. That is, if the Legislature would only reform arcane laws that handcuff the industry.
The Legislature should, indeed, do that.
For example, you can go to the store and buy beers produced by brew pubs in California and other states, but not by brew pubs here in Texas, such as San Antonio's Freetail Brewing Co. and the Blue Star Brewery.
Why? Because the big corporate breweries don't want the competition, and they own the Legislature lock, stock and barrel.
Of course I don't believe the numbers in the study. For one reason, I never trust any number next to the words "economic impact." You usually see the term in connection with "studies" promoting tax breaks or subsidies. In that context, it invariably means "hype."
The other reason I don't believe the numbers is that the author of the study is Scott Metzger, an adjunct professor of economics at UTSA. He is also owner of San Antonio's Freetail Brewing Co. and a leader in the Texas Craft Brewers Guild.
This is not to say I believe Metzger is dishonest. To the contrary, he is a highly respected businessman who crafts some excellent, honest beers. What's more, he was honest enough to put his name on the report and fully disclose his interests.
That's more than I can say about the study on fracking.
This study was issued last February by the Energy Institute at the University of Texas to great fanfare. Headlines from here to Great Britain trumpeted the study as putting to rest a key environmental fear related to the practice of blasting water and chemicals into shale so as to free up trapped oil and gas. Typical was the Houston Chronicle headline: "Study: Fracturing no threat to groundwater."
When I read the stories in the Chronicle and the Express-News, I was impressed. The University of Texas brand gave the study credibility.
But this week, thanks to a nonprofit called The Public Accountability Initiative, we learned something about the man in charge of the study. Charles "Chip" Groat is paid a generous $173,000 a year by the University of Texas for his work as a professor of geological sciences and associate director of the UT Energy Institute.
But he makes more than twice that much annually wearing a different hat — as a member of the board of directors of Houston-based Plains Exploration and Production Co., which is heavily involved in fracking.
Last year, according to public records, the company paid Groat $58,500 in cash as well as stocks valued at $355,400. According to the Express-News, his stock holdings in the company are currently worth just over $1.5 million.
According to university officials, Groat did not disclose this in an annual filing as required by university policy. Nor did he disclose it in the report.
The director of the Energy Institute said he was unaware of Groat's position with Plains Exploration. So what is the University's response? It says it will appoint a panel of experts to conduct a review of the 400-page study, which they hope to be completed in a few weeks.
Oh, and University Provost Steven Leslie said Groat "has been reminded of his obligations to report all outside employment per university policy." The provost also said he saw no conflict of interest.
The professor gets over $400,000 annually from a company involved in fracking and has no conflict of interest in leading a study on the practice? For intellectual honesty, give me the beer guys over the academics.
This commentary is Rick Casey's "Last Word" from KLRN-TV's "Texas Week With Rick Casey."

9. Where in the Signal Chain?
Despite the advent of budget-priced multi-fx boards, individual pedals remain popular with guitarists as a quick and easy way to get sounds together - what they lack in fine control and programmability, they more than make up for in the simplicity department. For the musician who requires only a few effects such as simple wah, delay and chorus perhaps, individual pedals are a great solution. For those who need to combine multiple effects and change effects settings regularly, programmable multi-fx can represent a better choice. In addition, if you start adding up the price of individual pedals youll find that at some critical point, self-contained multi-fx becomes more cost effective, and there are also no batteries or messy power supply cables to worry about.
However, one big advantage of using individual stomps is that you can easily change the order of the individual pedals by simply re-patching them. The specific order of the effects can have a profound impact on the resultant sound - for example, we are all familiar with the sound of a flanger feeding into a reverb. But try reversing that order and listening to the result a very spooky and ethereal sound.
With this in mind, what about the placement of the wah-wah pedal in the signal chain? Should it go before the overdrive or after it? Of course there are no rules, but each arrangement sounds quite different. For classic Hendrix, Vai and Satriani tones, the wah must be placed before the overdrive. When the pedal is moved, the filter inside the wah will emphasise in turn the harmonics present in the clean guitar tone. The resultant sound from the wah output will be naturally thinner than the input, since the job of the filter is effectively to boost a narrow range of frequencies. If we now distort this signal with the overdrive effect (whether from a pedal or from the pre-amp section of your guitar amplifier), harmonic distortion will be added, filling out the sound and leaving you with a nice fat wah and the natural guitar harmonics still intact. If on the other hand, we place the overdrive before the wah, then the wah will sweep through all the harmonics added by the distortion process some of which will be related to the original guitar signal, and some of which will not. The result is much more intense, but very narrow by comparison, and certainly not as musical.

OK, I understand what you are saying because nothing outputs through a budget card.

I hope that someone who understands the mpegpes code in mplayer can shed some light on this. What kind of repacking is mplayer doing that fixes this problem. It is definitely not transcoding the video. All it is doing is forwarding the video to the dvb card via mpegpes.

Location: Colombo, Sri Lanka
Founded: August 2005
Product or Service: WSO2 provides integrated middleware stacks based on Apache components. It currently offers four products, a Web Services Application Server, an Enterprise Service Bus, a Web Services Framework platform, and an Identity Solution that enables CardSpace authentication.
The flagship product is Tungsten, an Apache-based application server designed specifically for Web Services. It supports XML, SOAP, and WSDL. In addition to the standalone version, WSO2 also offers a version that can be hosted in Tomcat and J2EE application servers.
Funding: Secured $4 million from Intel Capital in 2006.
Competitive Landscape: Web Services are all the rage these days, so WSO2 is certainly not alone in targeting this space. The company contends, however, that it is different because it builds solutions for Web Services, rather than concocting middleware to glue Web Services capabilities onto the existing middleware for heavy-transaction Java-based applications. Layering may make sense when it comes to security, but with application platforms too many layers proves worrisome.
Or, as WSO2 puts it, their products treat Web Services as first-class components instead of as a facade to existing middleware platform components. . . [e]nabling, rather than hiding, the XML nature of Web services to application programmers.
At first glance, WSO2 competes in the Enterprise Service Bus market. After all, ESB products focus on sharing data across an organization. WSO2 does indeed offer an ESB product, but their attention is more focused on building Web Services from the ground up. In other words, while they understand the necessity of legacy support, they seem to be more interested in spawning future apps rather than extending existing ones.
Management Team: Sanjiva Weerawarana, chairman and CEO, founded WSO2 after spending close to eight years with IBM, where he helped found their Web Services platform; Jivaka Weeratunge, VP of finance, was previously managing director of at Strategic Consulting; Davanum Srinivas, director of customer engagements, previously spent seven years with CA; Paul Fremantle, VP of technical sales, was formerly a senior technical staff member at IBM; Jonathan Marsh, director of mashup technologies, was previously at Microsoft where he was the primary representative for W3C standards Working Groups in the XML and Web Services area.

I'm sure if I entirely believe any post about the accuracy of sci-fi films that begins with the phrase, "I'm not aware of any intense rivalry between Star Trek and Star Wars fans." Of course, it's still morning, so it could be that my sarcasm detector is warming up.
That said, a new blog post over on Shadowlocked claims to lend some fodder for the Star Wars side of the fight over science realism (which, let's face it, seems to afford itself a lot of liberties based on the whole "galaxy far, far away" thing). The post cites a book from 2002 by astronomer Phil Plait, which examined an explosion from Star Wars alongside one from Star Trek.
According to the book, the re-imagined explosion of the Death Star in the 1997 re-release of A New Hope is actually a bit more accurate than the explodiness (that's a word, right?) of the Klingon moon in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
Says Shadowlocked,
Since explosions in space tend toward spherical shape unless impeded, Plait concludes that the blast pattern resulting from the explosion of the Klingon mining operation has no credible reason to resolve into a ring form, even if everyone thinks the effect is far cooler here than in 1997's revised New Hope.
So, I guess that settles that. Now, does anyone know a good neurologist who wants to tackle Jar Jar Binks?

Scented jeans are fashion's strangest trend right now
Beatniks had their berets, '50s-era Bobby Soxers had their poodle skirts and the '80s had neon. But, in terms of real evolution, what we wear hasn't changed as dramatically over the years as you might think.
Designers used to dream of what folks in the year 2000 would wear. They would be deeply disappointed to see that none of us are rocking skin-tight metallic-colored unitards paired with fishbowl-style space helmets covering our heads. They would also probably be sad that flying cars are not a thing. I know I am.
Luckily for us, some plucky (read: possibly disturbed) designers are doing something that could shake up the fashion world. I've got two words for you: Scented. Jeans. There's more than one company out there trying to make stinky denim a good thing.
First off we have Salsa, a brand out of Portugal. Their Colette Fragrance Jeans are a skinny cut that comes in several fruit-inspired, washed-out white colors. Each pair has a distinctly fruity scent, and is meant to keep that aroma for 20 washes. Why? That is anyone's guess. I feel hungry and nauseated even considering this idea.
But don't worry, if it appeals to you, the guy in your life doesn't have to feel left out. Naked + Famous has Scratch-n-Sniff Denim available for the menfolk. They look just like a pair of 401s, or any other classic cut of jean. But they smell like a raspberry soda. Now you and your loved one can both stink of fruits together — just don't wash your jeans at the same time unless you're trying to create some sort of fruit cocktail.
While I appreciate the ingenuity these companies are bringing to their lines, doesn't this seem a bit (pardon the pun) fruitless? Who is going to pay slightly more to have jeans that are particularly pungent? Usually that's something we try to avoid with soap, water, and you know, general hygiene.
Also, the stank that makes these jeans more expensive doesn't last forever. Think of the science wasted on these pants. I want my haute couture space helmet. Heck, I'd settle for truly smudge-proof glasses, shirts that deflect rain and pants that come with a personal heating or air conditioning unit.

Why would anyone care about snow? Isn't it just a nuisance, needing to be cleaned from roads and cars, causing delays, and making winter difficult? Actually, snow is really important in Maine – and in many places. It creates habitat for some animals; it gives cues to others, like fish, about when to migrate. Snow's meltwater provides us with drinking water, but can also be a cause for concern when it melts quickly and causes floods. Snow is an economic engine too, with tourists flocking to Maine for skiing, snowmobiling, and winter sightseeing, among other activities.

Project: Interview a Real-Life Hero
This project is a culmination of the study of Homer's epic poem The Odyssey.
According to the New World Dictionary of the American Language, an odyssey is "any extended wandering or journey." In the epic, Odysseus's extended journey includes travel, encounters with the supernatural, battle, heartache, adventure, romance, bravery in the face of adversity, reunion with loved ones, and a host of other epic elements. As part of their text study, students come to understand that the Greek culture placed great value on hospitality, feasting to celebrate events, kindness to all, and storytelling as an art form. Furthermore, students gain appreciation for the Greek epic as an esteemed story from which deeply "human" messages reach the audience; these messages transcend time, place, or one's station in life.
Scott Pillsbury's class participated in an interactive videoconference that helped them see how formulas and experiments taught in high school physics truly apply in the real world.

Throughout this school year, our biology class has been working with the University of Southern Maine ScienceCorps on a long-term project involving identification of micro and macroorganisms in a tank of pond water in our classroom.
Two graduate "fellows" from USM, Tracy Baumgarten and Kelly Cochran, visited our classroom about once a month to work with the students. They brought with them equipment used in current biological research as well as expertise in their fields as research scientists. Students worked alongside these fellows learning new technologies and applying them in lab situations.
USM invited our students to attend their annual Thinking Matters Symposium on April 30 on the Portland campus. Some of our SAHS students exhibited a poster they had worked on for about three weeks. Four other high schools from northern Maine, and USM graduate and undergraduate students also presented their research. Visitors from the University as well as community members viewed the posters (ranging over many topics; from genetics to building materials) asking questions and learning from our students. An oral presentation of the work done at each high school was also given.

As a culmination to our study of the
great Shakespearean tragedy, Julius Caesar, students were asked to
memorize a famous speech from the play--an assignment I've
traditionally given. On a test, students wrote down the memorized
lines and explained what those lines revealed about the character.
After some inspirational training from the folks at "MLTI," however,
I decided to add a technological twist. Students would turn their
memorized speeches into a Shakespearean Podcast; this new product
would—I hoped mightily—add to their repertoire of computer
skills as well as deepen their understanding and appreciation of
the Shakespearean language.
I think the results speak for themselves. I've included my
own humble effort along with a smattering of the delightful student
products. Enjoy!
As a culmination to the study of their own grammatical errors, members of this junior class created Podcasts—brief audio programs that are often available for free download on iTunes and other websites.
Students were directed to create instructive and practical content. The program had to explain the error to listeners, as well as offer tips to help avoid and/or correct the mistake.
Who knows? The next Grammar Girl or Angry Grammarian (two hosts of professionally produced Podcasts) may hail from central Maine.
I think the results speak for themselves. I've included my own humble effort along with a smattering of the delightful student products. Enjoy!
I was inspired to create a poetry
project after visiting the Favorite Poem Project's website.
http://www.favoritepoem.org/project.html Robert Pinsky, former Poet
Laureate of the United States, founded this project in 1997 with
the intent of encouraging people to read, share, and celebrate the
poems that they loved.
The site features videos of people from all walks of life reading
and talking about poems they love. We showed many of these videos
to our students as we prepared for their readings. In our classes,
students selected poems that meant something to them, spent time
rehearsing their readings and reflecting about why they responded
to these poems, and then we filmed the readings, edited the films
using iMovie, Fireworks, and GarageBand.
This project has given students a chance to practice their speaking
skills, to explain their interest in or history with a poem, and
to learn some new technology skills.

A climograph is a useful tool for displaying the average temperature and average precipitation of locations around the world. By combining a line graph showing temperature fluctuations over the course of a year and 12 bars representing the monthly rainfall, a quick understanding of climate is revealed.
Students in my Honors World Studies class were charged with the task of creating individual climographs and analyzing them in light of the 4 factors that shape climate: latitude, wind patterns/ocean currents, elevation, and landforms.
In the process, students gained valuable familiarity with Excel (creating graphs), Fireworks, (editing images), and Dreamweaver (webpage creation). Whether developing new skills or honing previously held ones, this will serve them beyond my class.
SAHS Blogs these are now a part of Moodle and do not have public access.
Weblogs or blogs have provided an opportunity

web page where individuals can post entries, articles, links, and
pictures and ask others to join in conversations. The Blog provides
a comfortable venue for many students to express their ideas. It
promotes a risk-free environment by creating opportunities for all
students in and out of class to join the discussion. The blog has

An architectural tour of Chicago
Chicago looks good from every angle, whether in the air from one of its towering skyscrapers or from down below via a boat ride along the river. Here are the most stunning architectural landmarks in the Windy City.
Welcome to one of the best skylines in North America. There's no better place to start an architectural tour of Chicago than the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, the Willis Tower. Standing at 1,450 feet high, the Willis Tower offers stunning 360-degree views of Chicago from its observatory Skydeck Chicago which is located on the 103rd floor. Daredevils can test their courage on The Ledge, a suspended glass box that extends 4.3 feet out (and 1,353 feet in the air) from the skydeck. If you'd rather dine in the sky, try The Signature Room or The Signature Lounge located on the 95th and 96th floors of the John Hancock Center. The Signature Room offers a fine dining experience in an intimate atmosphere, while floor-to-ceiling windows showcase the stunning Chicago skyline.
Back on the ground, the sites of Chicago do not disappoint. The gleaming white Wrigley Building has been an icon of Chicago for over 75 years. Make sure to see it shining in all its glory at nighttime. Millennium Park is home to an incomparable collection of architecture, landscape design and art, including the famous Cloud Gate or "Bean" sculpture, Jay Pritzker Pavilion, Lurie Garden and the Crown Fountain that spouts water from digital faces. Finally no architecture-themed tour of Chicagoland would be complete without visiting the home and studio of one of the most famous architects in history, Frank Lloyd Wright. Just outside of Chicago in Oak Park is the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio where Wright spent the first 20 years of his career perfecting his new American architecture, Prairie style, and designing 125 structures including the Robie House and the Larkin Building. Tours are available daily.
Walking and bus tours are also a great way to see all that Chicago has to offer. The Chicago Architecture Foundation offers well-versed bus tours, while Chicago Photo Safaris teach tourists how to capture fantastic shots of the city. For those that like to discover a city on their own, Metrowalkz has organized a self-guided Loop Architecture Tour that hits all of the major architectural sites in the central business district known as "The Loop." Segway Experience of Chicago offers Segway sightseeing tours that help to cover more ground than most walking tours.
We've covered land and air, so the only other way to see Chicago is by water. Traditional cruise tours can be found with Chicago's First Lady Cruises and Chicago Line Cruises, but for those looking for a twist, try a specialty wine tasting, cocktail or brew cruise. Mercury Cruise even offers a specialty Canine Cruise for your favorite four-legged friend. For an active architecture tour, rent a kayak from Kayak Chicago for a morning paddle through the heart of downtown on the Chicago River. Thrill seekers can speed down the lakefront on a speedboat tour from Seadog Cruises. Try the Seadog Extreme Thrill Ride for a jet-propelled ride at speeds of 45 miles-per-hour with twists and turns.

"I'm going on a trip and I'm going to take …. "
We work on the road quite a bit, so we need to take our office with us. Working efficiently wherever we are requires that we take a few key items with us on the road. Here are the physical and digital items we keep in our travel kit:
Apps we keep on our iPhone:
To pack all of this gear, we use wheeled mobile office bags and also take backpacks. CaseLogic backpacks are the best we have found for hauling laptops and notebooks. For camera gear, we use Think Tank bags, which are the most versatile and useful we have found.
We always carry snacks, bottled water, a flashlight, small tools for fixing loose screws on camera and other gear and a Photographic Solutions camera sensor cleaning kit.
Other items:
All of this gear fits easily into carry-on luggage, with the exception of the tripod and pocket knife, which go in check-in luggage for plane trips.
For road trips, we load all of this plus clothes into our Toyota Echo, which gets 46 miles to the gallon on the road. Alas, Toyota stopped making this fantastic little car, but we're lucky enough to have one that runs like a top on very little fuel. Plus, our gear fits perfectly in the trunk.

Reporter's Notebook is a new feature in the Keizertimes. Here our writers and editors will offer a glimpse behind the headlines to stories and issues bubbling just below the surface.
This column does contain analysis from our writers; however, information is reported and vetted the same way as it is in the day-to-day news you've come to trust us to provide.
One city general fund line item came in $115,000 short – the sewer license fee.
Some of this was completely out of the hands of Keizer officials: Salem leaders didn't pass a rate increase that Keizer finance officials had anticipated.
The Keizer City Council had raised sewer and stormwater franchise fees from 5 to 7 percent during 2010-11 budget discussions, but promised to revisit the issue in December 2010. If the money wasn't seen as needed, the fees would be rolled back.
When the time came the finance department reported some $77,000 in unanticipated revenues had come in, and that $203,000 had been saved via mid-year "spending freezes." Finance Director Susan Gahlsdorf noted these savings came from "one-time events or timing issues," and this came before February, when city officials learned franchise fees from other sources were coming in below projections.
The committee and council had made a promise, and they kept it. Finance staff estimated in December the rollbacks would end up cutting revenues by about $57,400.

Fire board candidate subject of complaint
A challenger to Marion County Fire incumbent Orville Downer questions whether he's spending as little as he says – or isn't saying.
Andrea Batchelor filed the complaint May 2 after a letter from former Marion County Sheriff Raul Ramirez was mailed to area residents. The letter states current board chair Randy Franke is "under attack by the local Fire District union" due to Franke's "efforts to keep the fire district accountable." It goes on to state the union "recruited Robert Palmer and Andi Batchelor to run against two current sitting board members. In fact, Andi Batchelor is the girlfriend of current Union President if that tells you anything."
The letter doesn't mention Downer. But Batchelor wondered in her complaint whether Franke and Downer had "coordinated" their campaigns. Batchelor is running against Downer, while Franke is being challenged by Robert Palmer.
Downer has not filed a Statement of Organization with the state, required if a candidate intends to spend more than $750. Franke has spent more than $13,400, according to state records.
"At this point there's no reason for Andrea to file that thing," Downer said. "In the past four times I've run for office I've never spent anything and never filed anything, other than the form that says you didn't spend anything."

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Members of the U.S. House of Representatives launched an effort on Tuesday to prevent new travel from the United States to Cuba, one of the first legislative efforts in Congress to thwart President Barack Obama's effort to normalize relations with the Communist-ruled island.
A House Department of Transportation appropriations bill introduced on Tuesday included a provision barring the use of funds to facilitate new scheduled air transportation originating from the United States if any such flights would land on or pass through any property confiscated by the Cuban government.
It also included a passage barring the use of any funds covered in the bill to issue licenses or operating certificates for any vessel that had docked within 7 miles of a port on property confiscated by the Cuban government within the previous 180 days.
If passed as part of the transportation bill, the provision would effectively keep the U.S. government from recertifying any airline or cruise line if it were to travel to Cuba, an appropriations committee aide said.
Representative Mario Diaz-Balart introduced Tuesday's measure. The Florida Republican is a Cuban-American and a leading opponent of Obama's effort to shift U.S. relations with Havana.
The measure is expected to generate opposition in Congress and could lead Obama to veto what is considered a must-pass appropriations bill.
Obama announced on Dec. 17 that he would move toward more normal relations with Cuba after more than half a century of enmity.
That announcement was met with strong resistance from many members of Congress, especially Republicans, who say Cuba must protect human rights for its citizens and make other changes, including sending U.S. fugitives to face trial, before Washington ends more than 50 years of trade restrictions.
In January, the Obama administration issued new regulations that eased several restrictions on trade with Cuba, including permitting more travel by Americans to the island. U.S. airlines including United Airlines Inc [UALCO.UL], Delta Air Lines and JetBlue Airways said they would look into adding service.

Hopes for Ukraine ceasefire grow as Petro Poroshenko meets Nato leaders
While alliance membership is not on the cards, summit expected to give Poroshenko a show of support and an increase in non-lethal military aid
MOSCOW - Ukraine and the pro-Russian separatists appeared close to signing a deal to end four months of fighting, even as Ukraine's leader met yesterday with President Barack Obama and other Nato leaders in Wales.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said he was ready to order a ceasefire in the east today if a peace deal was signed at talks in Minsk, Belarus. The rebels also said they were ready to declare a truce if an agreement with Ukraine was reached on a political settlement for the mostly Russian-speaking region.
Watch: Poroshenko says Ukraine ceasefire plan to be signed Friday
Poroshenko discussed the outlines of a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, and they both voiced optimism about reaching an agreement in Minsk.
Meanwhile yesterday, Nato leaders gathered for a two-day summit at a golf resort in southern Wales.
Before the official proceedings began, Poroshenko attended a meeting with Obama and the leaders of Nato's four major European powers: British Prime Minister David Cameron, French President Francois Hollande, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi.
Later in the day, Poroshenko was to meet with the heads of state and government from all 28 Nato member states. Nato officials have made clear that membership for Ukraine is not in the cards anytime soon, but the alliance is expected to express support for Poroshenko's government and announce an increase in nonlethal aid for Ukraine's military.
In Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov warned that statements by Ukrainian officials saying Ukraine would be seeking to join Nato were "a blatant attempt to derail all the efforts" to seek a peaceful solution to the fighting.
Pro-Russian separatists have been fighting government troops in eastern Ukraine since April in a conflict that the UN estimates has killed nearly 2,600 people.
Nato says at least 1,000 Russian fighters are helping the rebels in Ukraine. Rebels have made substantial advances against Ukrainian forces over the past two weeks, including opening a new front along the Sea of Azov coast.
That offensive has raised concerns the rebels are aiming to seize control of Mariupol, a major port of about 500,000 people, in order to secure a land corridor between Russia and Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula that Russia annexed in March.
Specifics of the hoped-for peace deal have yet to be finalised. Putin has suggested that rebels halt their offensive while the Ukrainian government pulls its forces back from shelling residential areas.
Poroshenko, in his turn, called for the withdrawal of foreign troops - a diplomatic reference to Russian forces - as well as establishing a buffer zone on the border and releasing all Ukrainian prisoners held in Russia. Both sides expressed readiness for international monitoring of the truce and prisoners' exchange.
The conflict has taken a heavy toll on Ukraine's army. National Security Council spokesman Colonel Andriy Lysenko said yesterday that 837 Ukrainian servicemen had been killed and another 3,044 wounded since the fighting began.

– Comments (6) |
So about three years ago my dad gave me $10,000.00 of his own money to invest for him. Fast forward to today with all of these news bites about the financial destruction of the world and my dad decides now is the time to check in on his investment. He was expecting a 30% loss but was pleasantly surprised by a 20% gain. I give a lot of the credit to the Motley Fool because, in addition to various books I have read about investing, the Fool has made me a much more intelligent investor after reading what must be hundreds of Fool articles.
My dad, feeling relieved, felt confident enough to send another $5000.00 for me to invest on his behalf. This last week I have sunk almost all of that $5000.00 into stocks with fairly easy to understand business models, consistent earnings growth, attractive price to earnings ratios, and more cash than debt. I too am afraid of an epic 50% drop in the market. But I am not capable of calling the bottom and agree with Warren Buffett that, ten years from now, we will look back at this time and see that we could have made some very good buys. So, what, you ask did I invest these funds in?
Gamestop (GME): Video game retailer with fat earnings growth and a PE of just 15. It also has the same amount of cash as it has debt. People think that video game sales will slump but the xbox 360 just lowered its console price, the game libraries for the new systems are growing, when it comes to buying things they want (other than cars and houses) people will do what they want to do, and video games are as addictive as soda pop.
Microsoft (MSFT): Practically zero debt with a mountain of cash. This is one healthy company and it grows earnings well. The PE is historically low on this company. It should do quite well from here.
Coca Cola (KO): A rather boring choice but it historically rarely dips below its current valuation, grows earnings at a nearly predictable rate, and pays a 3% dividend. It also has no debt issues.
Coach (COH): It's home and car purchases we have to worry about, not things like $200.00 purses. Most people will still be able to cough up $200.00 dollars for things that they like. All women I know absolutely love this company's products despite the huge profit margins it makes on the merchandise. No debt issues with this company either. It grows earnings at a healthy rate and the market strangely thinks that this gem deserves a single digit PE.
I wouldn't buy GME and COH now. The latest paradigm in the market is that retailers are going down witht the consumer spending and people will short them left and right, whether right or wrong.
Just a month ago retailers were soaring because oil was going down. And somehow it was supposed to translate into profits for them.
The market logic usually is too simplistic , but you have to go with the flow, you cannot fight the market.
"Most people will still be able to cough up $200.00 dollars for things that they like".
What economy/world do you live in/envision coming?
I like KO an MSFt longterm. GME might be dicey because a 15 PE in a bear market is actually high but kids ten to spend recession or not. Not sure about COH, I suspect the trend is CHEAP first, style second now.
I wouldn't touch COH - its more discretionary than you think.
Check the crowds.....last time I saw a fair amount of people in the shops ( from outside, I was sitting down for my daughter to eat her icecream)....in about 10 mins not a single sale - people are simply looking at it with yearning eyes I think
kmb try kimberly clark they sell everything we need and will use regardless of where our ecomony is heading toilet paper paper towels medical supplies all the above and they pay a dividend too how great
Many are worried that people will stop buying Coach merchandise and video game supplies at Gamestop because of a recession. Thank you, anchak for the bit of info about what happened inside an actual Coach store. This is the kind of info that helps tilt the scale for me when everything else looks good on paper.
Even though I invest and follow the stock market, I happen to be of lower middle class socioeconomic status. I am in school to become a high school math teacher and in my city will probably only make $33,000.00 annually when I start teaching. It so happens that my friends are on the same economic tier that I am (the exception being that they don't know the least thing about stocks). What I am noticing is that they are still making $300.00 purchases of things like video game systems and $200.00 purchases of coach purses. So long as these friends of mine keep their jobs, many of them don't feel any different during recessions. As long as they see no difference in their paychecks, we won't see any changes in their spending and consuming habits. Many Wall streeters feel the pain of recessions because of their involvement in stocks but as the country song says, my friends "are too poor to know" we are in a recession. These Wall street people don't have friends of my socioeconomic status so they have trouble feeling the pulse of the majority of Americans.

February 11, 2014 07:30 ET
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Feb. 11, 2014) - Integra Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ICG)
Press Release Highlights:
Integra Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ICG) ("Integra" or the "Company") is pleased to announce initial results from its fall/winter 2013 Parallel zone drill program at the Lamaque Gold Project located in Val-d'Or, Québec. The Company recently completed 12,589 m in 40 drill holes on the Parallel Zone which is located in the northern part of the Lamaque Project. Results announced today are from the first 20 holes, accounting for 8,050 m of the Parallel Zone program.
"While a resources estimate updated with new data has not yet been completed, a preliminary interpretation has confirmed continuity of mineralization within zones which previously had only widely spaced drill holes," commented Company President and CEO, Stephen de Jong. "This is especially significant for the Parallel Zone as there are a number of very high-grade resource blocks which had not had sufficient drilling completed for the resources to be classified as indicated. Mineralization continuity is crucial in these type of deposits in order to develop a successful mine plan. We are more than encouraged by both the continuation of the geological structure and the high grades intercepted throughout this program. Core samples from the balance of the 40-hole, 12,600 meter program at Parallel are being processed currently, after which an updated resource estimate will be commissioned."
Drill result highlights include:

Parallel Definition Drilling Program
The fall/winter 2013 program at Parallel focused on reducing the drill spacing to 25-35 m centers for the upper portion of the deposit, above the 300 m vertical threshold. Drill holes had been previously been spaced approximately 50 to 75 meters apart. The objective of the program was to transfer inferred resources into the indicated category and to confirm mineralization continuity between existing holes. Interpretation and remodelling is ongoing but preliminary indications are that mineralization is continuous between previous drill holes as well as with a number of the high grade intercepts reported.
The first 12 holes of the campaign also aimed to confirm the lateral extent of the lowermost zone, Vein 7, which had previously been drilled at greater than 75 m intervals and reported as a high-grade, inferred resource. Results including 11.14 g/t Au over 1.0 m in hole PV-13-02 and 5.44 g/t Au over 2.0 m in hole PV-13-07, demonstrate that Zone 7 is likely continuous laterally. Although the mineralized structure has been intersected, further drilling may be required to determine the average grade of that zone due to the high variance in assays between drill holes.
The majority of the holes disclosed today intersected mineralization where it was predicted to occur providing further confidence in the Company's geological model. The most significant and high grade intervals came from Zone 6 which appears to be the most continuous zone at Parallel.
2014 Lamaque Drill Program
Planned drilling for 2014 at the Lamaque project has been set at a minimum of 40,000 m which includes a 20,000 meter definition program at the Triangle Zone, definition drilling at the Fortune Zone, and exploration drilling at Plug No. 5 and Mine No. 3.
A total of 4,660 m in 12 holes have been completed at the Triangle Zone as of January 31, 2014, with no assay results available to date.
Project and Company Profile
Integra's Lamaque gold project is located in the heart of the Val-d'Or gold camp in the Province of Québec, Canada, approximately 550 km northwest of Montréal. Québec is rated one of the best mining jurisdictions in the world. Infrastructure, human resources and mining expertise are readily available.
The Company's primary objective is to continue to prove up additional resources while advancing the existing resource towards production. The project is divided into three main clusters of mineralization, the North, South and West Cluster. The North Cluster consists of the Parallel, Fortune, No. 5 Plug, and No. 3 Mine zones and is located approximately 1 km northwest from the South Cluster, which includes the No. 4 Plug, Triangle and Triangle South zones. The Sixteen Zone and No. 6 Vein form the West Cluster.
Qualified Person
The Lamaque exploration project is under the direct supervision of Hervé Thiboutot, Eng. and Senior Vice-President of the company, and Francois Chabot, Eng. and Operations and Engineering Manager of the Company, both Qualified Person ("QP") as defined by National Instrument 43-101, and Alain-Jean Beauregard, P.Geo., and Daniel Gaudreault, Eng., Geo. of Géologica Inc., both independent QP as defined by National Instrument 43-101. The Company's QPs have reviewed the technical content of this release.
Quality Assurance - Quality Control ("QA/QC")
Thorough QA/QC protocols are followed on the project including insertion of duplicate, blank and standard samples in all drill holes. The core samples are submitted directly to ALS Laboratory Group and Bourlamaque Labs in Val-d'Or for preparation and analysis. Analysis is conducted on 1 assay-ton aliquots. Analysis of Au is performed using fire assay method with atomic absorption finish, with a gravimetric finish completed for samples exceeding 5 g/t Au, or a metallic sieve assay for samples containing visible gold. When available the gravimetric or metallic sieve assay results are used for the reported composite intervals.

As the leading organization for Entrepreneurship in the Arab society in Israel, we have initiated MasarUp, the Council for Arab Entrepreneurship, led by senior business professionals:
Hani Alami: CEO of Coolnet
Ehab Farah: Associate at Herzog Fox & Neeman
Ziyad Hanna: VP of R&D and Fellow at Cadence Design Systems
Jouna Khalil: Productivity Solutions Specialist at Microsoft
Abed Nashef: Partner at Pearl Cohen Zedek Latzer Baratz
Sami Saadi: Co-CEO of Tsofen
Ibrahim Sana: Co-founder and CEO of SadelTech
Maissa Ballout Shamshoum: CPA Corporate Finance & Global Treasurer at Rivulis
Imad Telhami: Co-founder and Chairman at Babcom Centers
Reem Younis: Co-founder of Alpha Omega
The council's main goal is to reach 500 Arab-led startups within 5 years.
In May 2016, with the launch of the Council, we published a comprehensive survey conducted with Dr. Dahlia Scheindlin and "New Wave Research".
While we can detect changes taking place inthe Arab society which point to the maturity process, gaps in awareness and fear-based discrimination are still visible. The survey included 500 respondents, most of them in the ages of 25-34, residents of the Galilee, with education of up to 12 years.
About 40% of Arabs were exposed to the high-tech and entrepreneurship fields, compared to almost 90% of the Jews.
According to the survey, only 20% of Arabs personally know someone from the field - a troubling datum in light of the obvious relationship between personal knowledge and desire to work in the field. About half of the respondents supported focus on promoting high-tech industry and the entrepreneurial sector in the Arab society. In addition, the survey found that significant gaps - including status, age, gender and region (eg, the triangle compared to Galilee), status (eg, income and education) - have directly affected the aspirations of the respondents.
Ziyad Hanna to The Jerusalem Post:
"There are so many ideas and opportunities,there are some 3,000 Arab employees at Israeli hi-tech companies, though only a few have started their own businesses.
With our mentorship and help with a business plan and investors, we could reach our goal of 500 startups... Our role is "to bridge ideas and implementation."
