Re: Wild Italian election results
Between the Pirate Party's suprise success in Germany, Grillo in Italy, (and the esteemed, lamented Screaming Lord Sutch in Britain), perhaps it's time for this stripper to re-enter politics

If you are the author of this post, see the Edit tab ad Help (and Advanced Help) for detailed documentation.
As the results of the Italian election continue to be counted, here is a summary of where things stand so far:
• Current projections suggest that against all predictions Silvio Berlusconi's rightwing coalition will dominate the Italian Senate – but Pier Luigi Bersani's leftwing grouping will end up the biggest in the Chamber of Deputies. The result for Italy seems likely to be gridlock – and perhaps further elections within months. It is thought impossible that Berlusconi and Bersani might team up in a grand coalition.
• Satirist Beppe Grillo has established his Five Star Movement as a political force to be reckoned with as his anti-establishment insurgents seem likely to end up the biggest single party in a political system usually made up of small parties working in coalition. Who the so-called Grillini will side with and who they will oppose is an open question.
• The markets seemed pleased earlier on when exit polls seemed to show Bersani on course for victory – but plummeted when news broke of Berlusconi's likely victory in the Senate. The euro has fallen to a six-week low against the dollar. The Dow Jones fell 100 points. The interest paid on Italian 10-year bonds rose to 4.55% – although the Milan stock exchange did close 0.7% up. A Bersani-led coalition, perhaps one including current centrist PM Mario Monti, had been expected to keep up the EU's austerity programme. Italy's economic turmoil prompted the worst period of the eurozone crisis in 2011.
• The turnout of just under 75% was the lowest in national elections since the republic was formed after the second world war, with disgust with politicians as well as the bad weather cited as a cause.
Why don't we just let "the markets" decide the elections?
Cut out the middleman? I mean, it's not like the markets are rigged, or anything.
Between the Pirate Party's suprise success in Germany, Grillo in Italy, (and the esteemed, lamented Screaming Lord Sutch in Britain), perhaps it's time for this stripper to re-enter politics
I just hope Beppe Grillo is more like Al Franken (except maybe effective) than Dennis Miller.
Oy!...just, Oy. (I understand Beppe his own bad self can't be in office on account of that pesky manslaughter beef...already showing more flair than Miller.)
"Why don't we just let "the markets" decide the elections?" ; in case you missed it; Wolff is hilarious about 'markets'.

Beginning in midlife, heart disease leads to subtle blood-flow problems in the brain that develop insidiously, gradually damaging neurons and contributing to cognitive decline. Knowledge of clinically silent blood-flow problems in the brain has led to the "healthy heart, healthy mind" hypothesis that preventing or treating heart disease also may help prevent age-associated cognitive decline.
However, the healthy heart, healthy mind hypothesis has been difficult to test because of a lack of validated markers of subtle blood-flow problems in the brains of otherwise healthy elderly adults. Owen Carmichael, associate professor in the UC Davis Department of Neurology, will work to develop such biomarkers through a new two-year, $100,000 grant from the Alzheimer's Association.
Carmichael and his colleagues will enroll 50 cognitively healthy people who already have received multiple clinical evaluations, cognitive testing and MRIs at the UC Davis Alzheimer's Disease Center. They will receive an additional MRI scan designed to detect subtle blood-flow disruptions that may develop over time and damage brain tissue. They also will receive PET scans to measure their amyloid burden and determine whether preclinical Alzheimer's disease is promoting brain injury and cognitive decline concurrent with blood-flow problems. Amyloid beta plaques in the brain have been associated with Alzheimer's disease.
"We will evaluate the usefulness of our cerebrovascular measurements by examining how they relate to MRI-based measurements of brain injury and cognitive function," Carmichael said. "Success in this project could lead to the use of these imaging markers for clinical assessment of preclinical cerebrovascular disease and for measuring the effects of cardiovascular treatments on the aging brain."

Oil prices jumped more than 2 percent Thursday as investors cheered political shake-ups in Greece and Italy, and layoffs appeared to be easing in the U.S.
Benchmark crude rose $2.04, or 2.1 percent, to finish at $97.78 per barrel in New York. Brent crude rose $1.40 to end at $113.71 a barrel in London.
Greece and Italy turned to economists to lead them out of their debt crises. Greece chose Lucas Papademos as prime minister. In Italy, Mario Monti received increasing support to replace outgoing Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
Those countries continue to face massive financial hurdles, but the leadership changes were taken as a sign that Italy and Greece are serious about reducing their debts. A default in either country would be devastating for the world economy, possibly leading to bank failures, a drop in spending and weaker oil demand elsewhere.
Investors were also encouraged to see that Italy could still raise money by selling nearly $7 billion in 12-month bonds. The interest rate was well below analysts' expectations, implying stronger-than-expected confidence in the Italian economy.
"Their economy still has a lot of problems, but that bond sale showed it's not as bad as feared," PFGBest analyst Phil Flynn said.
There was also some upbeat economic news in the U.S. on Thursday. The Labor Department said that the number of people applying for jobless benefits fell last week to 390,000 _ the lowest level since April.
At the pump, retail gasoline prices rose nearly a penny to $3.439 per gallon, according to AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service. A gallon of regular is about 55 cents cheaper than its peak price in May, but it's still almost 58 cents higher than a year ago.
In other energy trading, heating oil rose 5.25 cents to finish at $3.1511 per gallon, while gasoline futures fell less than a penny to end at $2.6368 per gallon. Natural gas finished virtually unchanged at $3.65 per 1,000 cubic feet.

DETROIT (Reuters) - Detroit plans to put workers on unpaid leave starting January 1 to prevent the city from running out of money if the city council continues to balk at reform measures and the state of Michigan blocks the release of much-needed funds.
The furloughs and other cost-cutting measures outlined by Mayor Dave Bing and top city officials on Wednesday are meant to offset $30 million that Michigan is withholding from the city unless certain conditions are met.
"These actions are necessary to keep the city from falling into further financial distress," Bing told reporters.
While the mayor said public safety services would not be adversely affected, details on the furloughs were not available.
The nine-member city council has resisted some of the measures aimed at restoring Detroit's fiscal health sought by the state and agreed to by Bing. Earlier this year, the city reached a consent agreement with Michigan that gave the state some oversight and allowed the mayor to disregard collective bargaining agreements. But the city has been criticized by state officials for slow progress on its financial reforms.
On Tuesday, the city council rejected one of the conditions for the state's transfer of an initial $10 million - the proposed hiring of law firm Miller Canfield Paddock & Stone to help with legal issues related to the financial stability deal with the state. That raised the risk of Detroit running out of money by the end of the year.
Projections presented this month by city officials to an oversight board in charge of Detroit's finances showed the city's weekly cash flow at just $4.1 million in mid-December and on course to drop to a negative $4.8 million a week at the end of the year.
Jack Martin, Detroit's chief financial officer, said that scenario will not happen.
"The mayor, the administration is planning to implement additional cuts to ensure that the city won't run out of money," Martin said.
Officials also said the city would not miss any payments on outstanding debt. A cash-flow crisis earlier this year led Detroit to warn it could default on some bonds. That was averted by the sale of new debt that raised $137 million for the city. While Michigan has released some of that money to Detroit, $30 million was tied to specific conditions for the release of $10 million this week and $20 million on December 14.
The council rejected the Miller Canfield contract, but has approved two other requirements set by the state - deals with Ernst & Young for a cash-flow analysis and with consulting and actuarial firm Milliman to work on the city's pensions.
City County President Charles Pugh said on Tuesday a different law firm might be acceptable to council members.
A city official said it would take another law firm hundreds of hours to catch up with the work done already by Miller Canfield.
Bing, who defended his right to choose a law firm, said he was open minded about tweaking his requests to the city council, but noted that "the state is holding the cards at this point."
Detroit has been hit by a sharp fall in population and tax revenue, which helped trigger Michigan's intervention to get its largest city back on good financial footing.

Police search landfill for clues on missing woman
Submitted: 10/27/2013
Menomonee Falls
- Police are hoping to find evidence in a Menomonee Falls landfill about the disappearance of a Milwaukee woman who has been missing for over two weeks. Because the investigation is ongoing, the Milwaukee Police Department is releasing few details. Police found nothing in the landfill on Saturday, but Lt. Mark Stanmeyer says the search resumed Sunday. Twenty-seven-year-old Kelly Dwyer's mother reported her missing Oct. 12 after she failed to show up for work. She hadn't been back to her apartment and hadn't been using her cellphone. Dwyer's boyfriend has been arrested twice in recent days, once on drug charges and another for possession of child pornography. He has told police he and Dwyer snorted cocaine together Oct. 10, but he has denied involvement in her disappearance.

The adaptive capacity of a system or nation is likely to be greater when the
following requirements are met:
Ability to adapt clearly depends on the state of development (Berke, 1995;
Munasinghe, 1998). As Ribot et al. (1996) illustrate, underdevelopment
fundamentally constrains adaptive capacity, especially because of a lack of
resources to hedge against extreme but expected events. The events are not surprises:
"It is not that the risk is unknown, not that the methods for coping do
not exist
rather inability to cope is due to lack ofor systematic
alienation fromresources needed to guard against these events" (Ribot
et al., 1996).
The process of enhancing adaptive capacity is not simple; it involves "spurts
of growth inter-dispersed with periods of consolidation, refocusing and redirection"
(Holmes, 1996). Enhancement of adaptive capacity involves similar requirements
as promotion of sustainable development, including:
Because actions taken without reference to climate have the potential to affect
vulnerability to it, enhancement of adaptive capacity to climate change can
be regarded as one component of broader sustainable development initiatives
(Ahmad and Ahmed, 2000; Munasinghe, 2000; Robinson and Herbert, 2000). Hazards
associated with climate change have the potential to undermine progress with
sustainable development (Berke, 1995; Wang'ati, 1996). Therefore, it is
important for sustainable development initiatives to explicitly consider hazards
and risks associated with climate change (Apuuli et al., 2000).
Clearly, adaptive capacity to deal with climate risks is closely related to
sustainable development and equity. Enhancement of adaptive capacity is fundamental
to sustainable development. For example, in the drought-stricken region of northeastern
Brazil, an assessment of past successes and failures has indicated that a comprehensive
sustainable development strategy is needed to increase regional and societal
capacity to face present and future climate variability (Magalhães, 1996).
By assessing differences in vulnerability among regions and groups and by working
to improve the adaptive capacity of those regions and groups, planned adaptation
can contribute to equity considerations of sustainable development. In the context
of African agriculture, Downing et al. (1997) conclude that enhancement
of present resource management activities is necessary to prepare for potential
impacts of climate change. In Malawi, as in many other places, the UNFCCC's
objectives to "ensure food production is not threatened, and to enable
economic development to proceed in a sustainable manner" also are central
to the nation's development policies (Theu et al., 1996). Thus,
progress to reducing vulnerability to climate risks is consistent with Malawi's
planning and development initiatives.
Notwithstanding the considerable literature on the impacts of climate change
as described throughout this volume, very little attention has been devoted
to the interaction of adaptation to climate change with ongoing development
projects and programs. Because vulnerability to climate depends on the adaptive
capacity of a wide range of attributes, it may be unrealistic to focus on development
programs that deal with adaptation to climate alone (Cohen, et al., 1998;
Rayner and Malone, 1998). Yet there is surprisingly little recognition of climate
hazards and risks associated with climate change in established development
projects and programs (Berke, 1995; Burton and Van Aalst, 1999). O'Brian
and Liverman (1996) show how climate change can have serious implications for
development projects planned or underway in Mexico, including hydroelectric
and irrigation initiatives. Torvanger (1998) shows how climate flexibility considerations
that can be built into development investments at modest incremental costs are
applicable regardless of the uncertainties of climate change and with immediate
value because of existing risks.
The vulnerabilities and anticipated impacts of climate change will be observed
at different scales and levels of societyand enhancement of adaptive capacity
can be initiated at different social scales (Ribot et al., 1996; Handmer
et al., 1999). In Bangladesh, Ahmed et al. (1999) distinguish between four scales:
mega, macro, meso, and micro. Using the example of sea-level rise as a climate
change impact, the authors describe adaptation options at each scale. The process
of sea-level rise occurs at the mega-scale and is global in its effect. At the
macro-scale, an associated increase in surface water and groundwater has the
potential to similarly effect neighboring rivers and flood plains in China,
Nepal, India, Bhutan, and Pakistan. Adaptive capacity at this scale is a function
of international economic and political structures, with implications for the
nations' capital and technological resources and institutions. At the meso-scale,
different communities within Bangladesh are differentially vulnerable, depending
on adaptive capacity and physiographic characteristics. At this scale, location-specific
adaptation options would need to be considered. Finally, at a micro-scale, family
units and individuals would experience vulnerabilities irrespective of the origin
of the processes and would employ adaptations within their particular economic
and sociocultural constraints.
Because the vulnerabilities of climate change occur at various scales, successful
adaptation will depend on actions taken at a number of levels. Examples of initiatives
to enhance adaptive capacity at various scales follow:

Does this local OK church do some good? Sure it does. I cannot fault them for the areas they reach out to the community, but also having been involved pretty deeply with some of it in the past there's is a lot that goes undone simply becasue they cannot rally enough xians for the "unfun" stuff - like cleaning up the property of an old lady who used to go there but can no longer get out. I went, the place was a total mess - overgrown with weeds, grass, poison ivy... In a church of 5000+ attendees 3 of us showed up and the organizer couldn't get another soul despite begging, pleading and offering lunch. It was sad, especially when they get 1000 turn out for pizza and kiddie game night at the church
FIJI, This church would be your run of the mill Southern Baptists megachurch.Here's the Brussels blog on their site - it's about what you'd expect although not updated very well. Every good thing is attributed to god... A lot of work done in coffee shops! http://www.hhbc.com/march-27-2013-brussels-belgiumAll I can say is, if you can Skype with your church back home, in my view, you haven't gone too far out of the way (or out of your comfort zone) to find "unreached people groups." Sure, there are exceptions but wow....
The most exciting thing however are the three Muslims that accepted Christ this past week. So much toiling, planting, and watering went into the harvest.
So, clicked about on their site a bit. There are a few lol moments, like when they misidentify Dutch as French in the elevator of the Atomium, or when they present a boule de Berlin as a typically Belgian pastry ... really? You had a sellection of a few dozen different pastries and you picked the one that ISN'T Belgian. Their pronounciation of French words and phrases is atrocious but would any of their sheeple notice? All in all, they seem no more dangerous than the next batch of religious goons.
Wouldn't it be ironic if they converted Fiji?
And I would bet an awful lot of money that many members agree with me.
You believe evolution and there is no evidence for that. Where is the fossil record of a half man half ape. I've only ever heard about it in reading.
But you're a spiteful, mean-spirited SOB and you seem to have an ego the size of Alaska. And I would bet an awful lot of money that many members agree with me.
Seriously, you guys are the meanest people I have ever met. I hope you are happy and feel really good about yourself.
Quote from: magicmiles on June 05, 2013, 09:14:06 AMBut you're a spiteful, mean-spirited SOB and you seem to have an ego the size of Alaska. And I would bet an awful lot of money that many members agree with me. I don't.
Just imagine the slide show that will be presented when these weary travelers return with tails of suffering for the faith.Wouldn't it be ironic if they converted Fiji?
If you are looking for a way to explain to your wife your loss of faith - or at least a good reason to leave this particular church-o-rama - these fuckers are it. You are disillusioned by the greed and hypocrisy. And then, maybe after that, you can have the real conversation with her?
Can you whip up the peasants to break out their pitchforks and torches?
Under normal circumstances, I'd be at least a little uncomfortable with this but these are not normal circumstances... I agree with screwtape's suggestion to use this situation to your advantage. If you think you can pry your wife free of this denomination and along the way perhaps save your marriage as well, you ought to try it.
This probably isn't the case, but I thought might be worth saying as an outsider.....I seem to recall you saying that you were the one who originally pulled your wife into the church? (Not a blame thing, I promise!)
That ... might be a bit of an issue.
Quote from: Fiji on June 12, 2013, 12:49:42 AMThat ... might be a bit of an issue. That was a funny post. But I was referring to the peasants that attend his church. A little mob revolt would be good for them. sorry if I was not clear.
^^^^ See how that worked out for them... god smites them with tornadoes every couple years
Quesi,Those are just run of the mill sinners in a prosperous country with access to radio, tv, internet and Starbucks.Brussels is a third world country; the natives are chucking spears at missionaries and beheading them at every turn, clean water is impossible to find, and you have folks like Fiji running around talking in French about sex parts of plants - they are an unreached people group, for chrissakes!! Right?


text: We love SFCMGR, and not just because our very own Lucy Bartlett is a co-organizer. It's a wonderful group of people who come together once a month to discuss the ins and outs of online community. This month's event was held at the San Francisco Prezi Office. They provided four wonderful speakers, all who have different backgrounds within Prezi, but work toward the common goal of creating an online community of happy Prezilians.Jana Hanavan, Prezi's mood coordinator, opened up the series of presentations with some background on the organization, thus setting the stage for Ashley Whitlatch, the 8th U.S. employee who developed and launched Prezi's successful college ambassador program. She informed the audience of 5 tips to build a community of college ambassadors. They are- focus on those who love you, help them set their own goals, provide feedback, listen to their ideas, and provide useful takeaways.When looking for people who are passionate about your product, find those who already actively support you. Once they've become an ambassador, it's important not to set stringent goals for them, but rather collaborate to decide what you're working towards. After all, an ambassador knows their peers better than anyone else, that's why they've been selected. The college ambassador program wouldn't have been beneficial to anyone if it simply included passing out fliers. Prezi encourages ambassadors to create online groups and A/B test new products, both enriching the experience of its ambassadors as well as the community they're present in.Zsofi Goreczky was once upon a time what Prezi calls a Champion, someone incredibly active in the Prezi community answering other's questions and sharing best practices. A few months after becoming a Champion, Prezi asked her to officially join their team. She's now the Operations Manager for Support. Zsofi explained the importance of the Championship program and other methods that encourage peer-to-peer support. Although acknowledging these key factors of building a supportive community, she also stressed the strong influence of support reps, promoting good answers, monitoring frequent questions to modify content pieces accordingly, and archiving out-dated issues. The combination of Prezi employees and Prezilians supporting the community has proven to be the most effective way to support their online community.The last to take the stage was Prezi's Social Media Coordinator,Susannah Shattuck who helps to manage Prezi's global community across LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, and beyond! When she first started at Prezi her main focus was to get as many "likes" and "followers" as possible but soon realized that didn't result in engagement. Rather, a smaller, targeted audience creates higher interaction amongst followers. To best amplify your company's voice and convert users into advocates, Susannah suggests meeting your audience where they are, listening to what they have to say, and empowering them to share their stories. If you are able to successfully follow these three tactics you will drive traffic to your website, which is critically important when trying to explain the ROI of social media.We hope all that attended this month's SFCMGR meeting learned as much as we did! It was wonderful to hear about community from three different departments of the Prezi team. We hope you'll join us next month for another round of networking and insightful talks from industry leaders. Stay tuned!Check out the great Prezi they made for SFCMGR!Written by Hanna Fritzinger

Elderly St. Charles woman found
An elderly St. Charles woman missing since Sunday morning was found safe this evening in East Lansing, Mich.
Sarah Mignin, 89, was reported missing Sunday morning after she did not arrive at her daughter's house for an expected visit.
At about 5:45 p.m. Monday, Mignin stopped at a Panda Express to ask for directions, said Paul McCurtain, St. Charles Police Department's public information officer.
A couple there noticed that she seemed confused and asked her if she had any phone numbers for family members that they could call.
They were then in touch with Mignin's daughter and local law enforcement officials, who made arrangements for her return home.
Police officers in four surrounding states have been on the look out for Mignin's white 2004 Honda Accord since she was reported missing Sunday.
Authorities were able to trace her credit card purchases to a gas station in Walworth, Wis., Sunday and again today in Woodland, Mich.
Although she wasn't known to have any health issues, she had been forgetful lately, family members had said.

Panthers beat Manchester to win Addison Duals Tournament title
Some of the top wrestling programs in Michigan collided at Addison High School on Saturday, as the host Division 4 No. 4-ranked Panthers held off the Division 3 No. 9 Manchester Flying Dutchmen 34-32 to win the Addison Duals Tournament.
Division 2 No. 10 Mason had pins in the final two matches to snatch third place away from the Division 4 No. 10 Sand Creek Aggies, 36-34.
Addison coach Matt Seiser's Panthers won all five of their matches, beating Sand Creek 48-22 in the semifinals after winning the preliminary meets, 40-35 over Ida, 81-0 over Monroe St. Mary Catholic Central and 38-20 over Monroe. Seiser declined to single out any individual, saying it was a team victory.
"This was the best we have wrestled all season," Seiser said. "Everybody came through and even if somebody did not wrestle well, somebody else was there to have his back. It was a total team effort."
Manchester won its preliminary meets 33-23 over Sand Creek, 72-9 over Blissfield and 39-13 over Monroe. The Dutchmen held off Mason in the semifinals 32-29 to set up the showdown with Cascades Conference foe Addison, and the two powerhouse programs did not disappoint spectators.
In the championship match, Manchester raced out to a 22-9 lead. However, when Dakota Keenoy picked up a pin at 189 pounds, the Panthers began their comeback.
A technical fall by Jacob Voss at 103 pounds, major decisions by Marcus Richardson at 112 and Jason Richardson at 119, and a decision by Collin Haag at 125 staked the Panthers to a 34-28 lead. Manchester narrowed the final margin when Cory Johnson took a major decision from Joey Sheldon at 130 pounds.
Monroe defeated Ida to take fifth place, and Blissfield beat SMCC 54-24 to take seventh.
Sand Creek coach Marc Spicer and Blissfield coach Andy Ford were pleased with the performances of their teams, even if they weren't as successful as they hoped. Spicer said the consolation final loss to Mason hurt, but didn't dim his team's pride.
"This was just great competition. I told our kids that this is the level we want to be at," he said. "You've got to learn from this and just keep getting better. I was very happy with the way our kids performed."
He singled out Garrett Miller and Nick Garza, who both were undefeated on the day. The Aggies beat Blissfield 73-3 and Monroe 42-34, before losing to Manchester 33-23.
In the consolation final, Mason took a 21-6 lead, but the Aggies' middle and upper weights gave Sand Creek a 34-24 lead. However, pins in the final two matches dropped Sand Creek to fourth place for the tournament.
Ford said he had told his team at practice this week that in order to build a program, they had to compete at this level.
"I told them to wrestle hard and to keep hustling," he said. "It was good to end the day on a positive note. It's good for the kids to see the levels of these programs."
The Royals lost to Ida 45-27 in the consolation semifinals. In the preliminaries, Blissfield also lost to Manchester 72-9 and Monroe 58-9.

|This article describes a concept which could impact a variety of companies, countries or industries. To see what companies and articles reference this concept page, click here.
Chinese use of the Internet is skyrocketing. This creates opportunities for both foreign and home-grown search engine and Internet advertising companies. Online vendors engaged in direct-to-consumer and direct-to-business e-commerce are also growing. Investors can access the stock of these companies through the Shanghai and Hong Kong stock exchanges, as well as through certain stocks trading in the U.S.
By 2010, China boasted the largest number of Internet users in the world – roughly 485 million (36.3% of the total population), growth of over 2000% since 2000.[1] 2010 data showed that men account for 55.8% of all Internet users and women account for 44.2%.[2] The majority of users in 2010 used either broadband (450 million users) or mobile devices (303 million) to get online. [2]
|Number of Chinese Internet
Users (millions)
|Penetration Rate
Table 1.[4]
Comparing China's 2010 34% penetration rate to other areas of the world (US - 78%, UK - 82%, France - 89%[5]), there are still huge growth opportunities for Internet companies in China as the economy develops and the Internet attracts more users.
One important measure of Internet usage is how much time each user spends online. Chinese Internet users spent about 8 billion hours online each week in 2010 (457 million users x 18,3 hours/week[2], while the U.S. audience logs on for 129 million hours[citation needed] per week. According to Sohu.com's CEO, this phenomenon is explained by the fact that "People log onto the Internet and Sohu.com because, in China, there is no Forbes, Reuters or The Washington Post. Print media was all state-controlled and official, and the Internet filled this void."[citation needed] Indeed, according to China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), 67.9% of online use in China is spent reading the news, as compared to time spent searching (65.7%) and e-mailing (64.7%).[citation needed]

Table 2
For Chinese citizens who lack their own computer, Internet cafes abound. By the end of 2006, China boasted 113,000 Internet cafes; however the government announced that new cafes would be permitted in 2007.[citation needed] The majority of the Internet cafes are smoke-filled rooms with 5 to 100 computer terminals. Many of them are occupied by people under the age of 30, who are checking their messages or playing online games with each other and the outside world. Recent reports suggest that 80% of people under 24 years old of age use the Internet in China. Internet cafes are not limited to Eastern seaboard cities – they can be found as far west as Kashgar, close to China's border with Pakistan, as well as in most small and medium-sized cities along the way.
Surprisingly, Internet usage in China is not limited to the most highly educated. As of 2010, about 20% of Chinese Internet users were college educated (or above).[2]
Nor is Chinese Internet usage limited to the wealthy. The majority of Chinese Internet users earn less than 1500 RMB per month, as reflected in the Table below.

Table 4
In terms of brand awareness among consumers, Baidu also ranks first, with 86.5% of consumer knowing the name Baidu. By comparison, Google and Yahoo! rank second (64%) and the third (38.5%) respectively, in brand awareness Sohu.com and and Sina.com ranked fourth and fifth. [citation needed]
Baidu outmaneuvered Google to become the number one Chinese language site in the world and number one search engine in China, representing 62% of all Chinese searches.[citation needed] Many attribute Baidu's success to its MP3 search functionality, which was launched just as MP3 players became popular in China. Music industry executives have accused Baidu of aiding piracy with its MP3 search engine, however their lawsuits against Baidu have thus far been unsuccessful.
Baidu received a jumpstart in popularity in 2002, when the Chinese government sought to censor Google by shutting it down in China for 10 days and redirecting Chinese Internet search traffic to search engines willing to censor results. The routing of the majority of the traffic to Baidu greatly boosted its popularity.
Some critics of Baidu complain that its search results are heavily weighted towards advertising rather than organic search results. However this has not deterred users and investors. As expected, the Baidu IPO on August 5, 2005 was a huge success. Despite an initial offer price of only $27 a share, the stock rose to $122 by the end of the day. After announcing that its advertising revenue triggered a profit increase of 143% in the first quarter of 2007, the stock was trading at $131.05 as of mid-May 2007 (an increase of about 400% since IPO).
A 2006 study of the Chinese internet advertising market by Analysys International predicted ad sales of around $550 million, with banner accounting for 71.3%[citation needed] of the total market and search engine advertising accounting for 28.7% of the total market. By comparison, market research firm International Data Corporation (IDC) found that the online advertising revenue in China reached $640 million in 2006, representing 42.1 percent increase over the prior year. IDC forecasts the market will reach $4.33 billion by 2010. [citation needed]
In 2005, portals Sina and Sohu accounted for a total of 55 percent of the online advertising market, however their market share shrank in 2006 due to heavier foreign and internal Chinese competition.[citation needed] Other portals, like Xinhua, are also major destinations for online advertisers.
Tencent is the leading Chinese instant messaging company, boasting over 220 million active users.[citation needed] Its QQ program dominates 84.4% of the messaging market. MSN is ranked the second, accounting for 13.9% of the market.[citation needed] However MSN does lead among business users– for users of IM tools in their office, MSN possesses 49.5% and 67.5% of the market in Beijing and Shanghai respectively, which are larger than the share of QQ. It is not uncommon to see queries in Chinese chatrooms, such as "Can you give me your QQ number?"
China has been averaging about $500 million per year in online business-to-consumer sales.[citation needed] The top merchants by market share, as of the first quarter of 2007, are Dangdang (18%), Joyo (12%), Cncard (6%), Newegg (3%), M18 (3%), China-pub (2%), 7cv (2%), 800buy (2%), Redbaby (1%) and 99read (1%).[citation needed] However these top ten merchants accounted for only half of all online sales. Many smaller vendors are also prospering in this market.
By the fourth quarter of 2006, online business-to-business sales within China reached RMB $27 million, while online business-to-business sales from China to overseas buyers reached nearly $52 million.[citation needed] These quarterly results represent a nearly 40% rise from the previous quarter. The largest market share, 68%, is held by Alibaba.com, followed by Global Sources (12%), HC360 (5%), Emedchina.net (3.5%), ChemNet.com (2.8%), and 315.com.cn (2.3%).[citation needed] Meanwhile, Sina.com has partnered with five foreign music labels (Sony BMG, Universal, Warner, EMI and Rock Records) in a bid to create China's largest online music portal. At the same time, Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group are suing Alibaba, which runs Yahoo! China, for a total of 5.5 million renminbi for their economic losses.[citation needed]

Name: Matouš Valchář
Country: Czech Republic
For eight years we've been the most ardent promoters of student films and fresh talents in the Netherlands. We've always believed student films can proudly sit side by side with professional shorts in programs destined to the larger audiences and time only proved us right. Sadly, the moment has come for this adventure to end...
The media landscape is changing. The expansion of online channels, the easiness of students to promote their own works together with the programmers' and curators' openness to consider them, have started rendering our mediation unnecessary. Though this is bitter sweet, it also makes us incredibly proud to see student films be able to speak for themselves and hold their own ground. It feels only fair to end this chapter and, just as it happens in movies, let another one begin!
So, farewell Breaking Ground!
The upcoming European film talent we think is worth following. Discover the new Lars von Trier or Pedro Almodóvar.
Films by young filmmakers that caught our eye and we would love for you to see as well.
Breaking Ground unfortunately seized to exist in may 2016. However, here you can still find our past events.

Yeah and i think it wasn't really a promotional picture just one depicting Edward & Bella's relationship in a sense i guess..oh well
that picture was pretty amazing & I stared at it for aaaages. But I didn't like how Bella was all swooning and falling like a damsel in distress. If Bella was real she'd hate to be portrayed that way.

John Barrowman and Carole E. Barrowman sign at Forbidden Planet London Megastore on Thursday September 20th, from 6:00 – 7:00pm.
Press Release:
Forbidden Planet are delighted to announce a signing by John and Carole E Barrowman for TORCHWOOD: EXODUS CODE (BBC Books) at our London Megastore on Thursday September 20th, from 6 – 7pm.
It starts with a series of unexplained events. Earth tremors across the globe. Women being driven insane by their heightened and scrambled senses. And the world is starting to notice – the Twitter trend is #realfemmefatales. Governments and scientists are bewildered and silent. The world needs Torchwood, but there's not much of Torchwood left.
Captain Jack has tracked the problem to its source: a village in Peru, where he's uncovered evidence of alien involvement. In Cardiff, Gwen Cooper has discovered something alien and somehow connected to Jack. If the world is to be restored, she has to warn him – but she's quickly becoming a victim of the madness too…
Carole is Professor of English and Director of Creative Studies in Writing at Alverno College in Milwaukee. She writes a monthly crime fiction column and regular reviews and features for newspapers. She contributed a chapter to the Hugo award-winning non-fiction anthology Chicks Dig Time Lords. John became Captain Jack Harkness in Doctor Who in May 2005 and appeared in eleven episodes of the hit show, before taking the lead role in Torchwood. He's had starring roles on stage and television, including his popular BBC entertainment show Tonight's The Night.
PLEASE NOTE: pre-orders on this title may be limited. At the event itself, John and Carole will ONLY be signing copies of their books.

DOVER, Del. – After falling behind 7-0, Wesley College's sixth-ranked football team scored 24 straight points and went on to beat Virginia University of Lynchburg, 24-7, on Saturday afternoon at Scott D. Miller Stadium.
On the opening kickoff, Wesley (5-1) was successful with some trickery and recovered an onside kick. Unfortunately the Wolverines were not able to capitalize on the field position and were forced to punt by the Dragons. VUL (1-5) went three-and-out on its first possession and after a Wesley turnover, the Dragons drove 81 yards for a touchdown with 1:24 left in the first quarter.
A kick return from Jeremiah Howe on the ensuing kickoff sparked a scoring drive for the Wolverines as he returned the ball 33 yards to the Wesley 43-yard line. A facemask penalty and a 21 yard pass from Justin Sottilare to Devar Robinson got the Navy & White into field goal range, and with 12:59 left in the half, Dan Tryon hit a 25-yarder to cut the deficit to 7-3.
Wesley forced a punt on VUL's next possession and Sean Hopkins returned the punt to midfield, giving Wesley good field possession once again. A pass to Matt Bundy for 11 yards, followed by a unsportsmanlike conduct penalty once again got Wesley into Tryon's range, but on third-and 25, Sottilare hit Steven Koudossou on a post pattern for a 39 yard touchdown.
Both teams went scoreless for the final 5:14 of the half and also the entire third quarter but Wesley extended its lead to ten on a pass from Sottilare to converted fullback Chris Cummings midway through the fourth. The reception was Cummings first career touchdown catch.
Dyamond Ruffin quickly gave the ball back to Wesley as he intercepted a pass that was deflected by Luke Maginnis. Starting the ball at midfield once again, Eugene Byrd came into the game at running back and ran the ball five times for 24 yards before crossing the goal-line on a five-yard run. The score was the first of Byrd's career, but more importantly put Wesley up 24-7 with under three minutes to play.
Wesley's defense allowed VUL to record just 184 yards of total offense, a season-best for the Wolverines, and only 15 yards came through the air. On the flipside, Wesley recorded 277 yards of offense, including 235 passing yards from Sottilare who completed 20 of 35 passes.
Howe caught a team-high four passes for 46 yards while Koudossou hauled in three passes for 56 yards. Brandon Robinson led the team with 64 receiving yards.
Field position and penalties played a major role in the game as the teams combined for 20 penalties and 209 yards. On the average, Wesley started their drives at its own 43, with Hopkins returning three punts for 116 yards, an average of 38.7 yards a return.
Defensively, Wesley was led by Sosthene Kapepula with ten tackles while Eugene Lott and Jeremy Keith recorded sacks. Jared Morris and Devin Hardy were also in on a tackle for loss.
The Wolverines will now go on the road for two-straight games, starting with a cross country trip to Atherton, Calif., for a game against Menlo College on October 20 at 3 pm Eastern. Menlo is currently ranked 23rd in the NAIA.
