Toronto: A former Canadian soldier who survived a debilitating brain injury while on duty in Afghanistan in 2006, can now walk again with the help of a exoskeleton customized by researchers at the Simon Fraser University (SFU).
Exoskeletons are typically designed for those with spinal cord injuries as an assistive technology providing lower leg movement.
Trevor Greene, who was unable to talk and walk after the attack, demonstrated his progress on Thursday at the SFU's Surrey campus.
Told he would never be able to walk again after the vicious axe attack nine years ago, Greene began working with Ryan D'Arcy, a neuroscientist and SFU professor, in 2009.
This is the first time exoskeleton technology has been used for a person with a brain injury, said Carolyn Sparrey, an assistant professor at the university.
Today, Greene is able to walk upright with assistance, outfitted with a custom-made exoskeleton from Israel-based company, ReWalk.
In the future he plans to walk unassisted. Ultimately, he says his goal is to make it to Everest base camp.
"Trevor has been extremely committed to his rehabilitation program," D'Arcy said in a statement released by the university on Friday.
"This newest dimension in his rehabilitation, wearing exoskeletons to walk again, enables the university faculty members to track research milestones in a real-life scenario while making a positive impact on his life," D'Arcy concluded.

Green Education for Green Jobs
Community colleges like Coconino and Yavapai in Arizona and San Juan in New Mexico offer degrees in solar design and installation and energy-efficient building.
Graduates in these fields are just about guaranteed jobs. For instance, the nation will likely need more than 5,000 solar installers by 2015. [Check out RenewableEnergyWorld.com]
Yet career advisers like Marie Kerpan, who founded Green Careers eight years ago, have mixed feelings about sustainability education, especially for green job seekers transitioning from other careers.
[Photo credit: Center for American Progress ]
"If they have a lot of fabulous experience that's completely relevant, then I don't see the need to go back to school," Kerpan said. "If they don't have a lot of credentials and they don't have a lot of experience that's relevant, then school can be a good idea."

LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister David Cameron is planning to visit Boston following meetings with President Barack Obama in Washington.
Cameron arrived in the U.S. on Monday. He is visiting the White House for talks with Obama on subjects ranging from Syria's civil war to preparations for a coming summit of the world's leading industrial nations in Northern Ireland.
The prime minister also is due to receive a briefing with the director of the FBI in Washington on the response to terrorism in the U.S. before flying to Boston, where he will discuss how U.S. authorities responded to the Boston Marathon attacks exactly four weeks ago.
In Boston, Cameron will visit the statehouse and meet with Gov. Deval Patrick to extend his condolences and discuss lessons that can be learned from the attacks, which killed three people and injured more than 260 others.
"'I look forward to going there to pay tribute to the people of that remarkable city," Cameron told a press conference in Washington.

Ryan T. Barnard (Professor Joel Hollingsworth), Department of Computing Sciences
Many of man's scientific advances have come from the imitation of the natural world. With lessons learned from nature, researchers are exploring new ideas in the fields of Mathematics and Computer Science. Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a relatively easy approach to finding optimal solutions to difficult (NP-complete) problems. This is done through the simulation of ant colonies, utilizing the emergent intelligent behavior resulting from the interactions of many ants. A single simulated ant shows very little intelligent decision making skills, but a colony of simulated ants have shown the ability to solve extremely complex problems in a reasonable amount of time. This research, Arbitrarily Extensible Ant Colony Optimization (AEACO), extends ACO techniques to create a new algorithm that is extensible, easily applied to new types of problems, and is almost entirely context independent.
This talk will begin with an introduction to the implementation of the discrete event simulator used to simulate the ant colony. The extensions to ACO in order to achieve AEACO will be developed. I will show how every problem that can be defined as an n-dimensional adjacency matrix can be solved using my techniques, specifically focusing on food gathering as an example of the capabilities of AEACO. Finally, I will discuss a comparison of various approaches to solving the food gathering problem.

1. Re: Burn c program on the Galileo via eclipseJPMontero_Intel Aug 10, 2015 8:32 AM (in response to noris1)
Hi noris1,
If you are having issues with Eclipse not keeping your code after boot you can consider copying your code into the Linux side of the board as a .c or .cpp file. Then you can compile it with gcc or g++. Also if you need the code to start at boot I suggest you to follow these guide.
Regarding how to update mraa to 0.7.3., run the following commands:
echo "src mraa-upm http://iotdk.intel.com/repos/1.1/intelgalactic" > /etc/opkg/mraa-upm.conf
opkg update
opkg install libmraa0

My Life With The Shakespeare Cult
My Life With The Shakespeare Cult
The theatre Shakespeare built was a freaking madhouse. A riot. A hoot. It was full of unruly drunks whose other big hobby was watching dogs fight bears. Today, we stick his plays in theatres that are stuffy, mannered, and boring as hell, with audiences that are sober, polite, and prone to naps.
This is madness.
For six years, in the backs of Chicago bars, in the sweat and hum of standing-room only crowds, the Back Room Shakespeare Project has been at the fire, forging its tools. The Project aims to build a bridge that can cross the sad gap between the sleepy, tame Shakespeare we've inherited and the recklessly wonderful kind that is still possible.
I helped light the fire, and I've been one of the many hands at the forge. This little book is about the tools we have made, and why we have made them.
One part loveletter, one part history, three parts call to arms.

Mohnish Pabrai's Pabrai Investment Fund is a hedge fund that is inspired by Warren Buffett's methodology. Pabrai has written books on his attempted low-risk value method of investing, and his funds have a growing record of outperforming most money managers.
Like his self-proclaimed investment strategy mentor, Pabrai is not one to over-diversify. Pabrai Investment Fund tends to hold just a handful of U.S. equities in its portfolio. On February 12, 2013, the Pabrai Investment Fund filed its 13F-HR, which details its holdings at the end of 2012. The filing listed a mere six equities.
Pabrai also listed six equities in the third quarter of 2012, and they were the same six. In the fourth quarter of 2012, the fund initiated no new stakes and exited no prior positions. Nonetheless, Pabrai did add to two of those existing positions, reduce two and keep two unchanged.
Pabrai's Increases
Pabrai Investment Fund increased its stake in Chesapeake Energy Corp (NYSE:CHK) during the last quarter. The fund initiated its position in CHK during Q2 of 2012 and has increased its stake in the domestic energy exploration and production company in both of the subsequent quarters. This investment by Pabrai has consistently appeared to be following the lead of Carl Icahn, who became CHK's second-largest investor during Q2 of 2012.
Shares of CHK have been volatile over the last several months, but spiked to the higher end of its recent trading range at the end of January, following the company's announcement that its billionaire co-founder, chief executive and president, Aubrey McClendon, has "agreed to retire" by April 1. This move up likely takes CHK to a price equal to or above Pabrai's Q4 2012 purchases. See a recent performance chart for CHK:
The only other position that Pabrai increased last quarter was Horsehead Holding Corporation (ZINC), a domestic Zinc-based product producer and recycler. Pabrai initiated his position in ZINC at the end of 2008, when the stock market was in a state of dramatic decline. Since then, shares in the company have been volatile, moving between around $7 and $17, and currently trading near the middle of that range. Horsehead Holding is the only small-cap stock listed on Pabrai's 13F-HR. See a recent performance chart for ZINC:
Pabrai's Decreases
Last quarter, Pabrai decreased his fund's stake in General Motors (NYSE:GM). Pabrai initiated his GM position during Q2 of 2012, and potentially following Berkshire Hathaway into the automobile manufacturer. Pabrai's position in GM decreased by 200,000 shares last quarter, but the fund still holds over two million shares. GM appreciated by about 50 percent in the second half of 2012, but declined by about 10 percent in 2013, following an earnings report that the market took as lackluster, largely due to European weakness and slightly disappointing profit for what was expected to be an exceptionally good quarter. See a recent performance chart for GM:
Pabrai also reduced his fund's position in Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) during Q4 of 2012, as it also did during Q3 of 2012. Pabrai sold over half of his position in GS in Q3 of 2012, but only sold about 1 percent of his remaining stake last quarter. Pabrai initiated his GS position in 2008 and substantially increased it in Q2 of 2012. Shares did appreciate afterwards, but they also continued to climb long after most of Pabrai's sales. See a recent performance chart for GS:
Pabrai's Unchanged Positions
Pabrai did not change his fund's position in Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) last quarter, and the large financial has continued to be Pabrai's largest position. Pabrai has held onto roughly 7.5 million shares of BAC through the last few quarters. The fund initially established the position in Q3 of 2011, but it was largely sold in Q4 of 2011 and then repurchased in Q1 of 2012. Current share valuations are well above any of the probable purchase prices by Pabrai. See a recent performance chart for BAC:
Pabrai's second-largest listed holding, Citigroup (NYSE:C), was also unchanged last quarter. Pabrai allocated into Citigroup in Q4 of 2011, possibly using proceeds from selling BAC shares purchased a quarter earlier due to relative valuation differences between these two large U.S. banks. Pabrai then purchased more shares in Citigroup during Q1 of 2012. Amongst the largest U.S. banks, these two had lagged in share performance and also restoring their dividends. Over the last year, both BAC and C have performed exceedingly well, and Pabrai has opted to maintain his investments in both. See a recent performance chart for C:
So far this year, five of the six U.S. equities in the fund are positive, with both CHK and GS up about 22 percent through the first six weeks of the year. The only one that is down within 2013 is GM, which had declined about 3.75 percent. See a 2013-to-date performance chart:
Over the last year, five of the six are positive, with the only declining stock being CHK. Nonetheless, Pabrai was not invested in CHK a year ago, and the company is up 25-45 percent since his initial allocation into the company. All in all, Pabrai's equity holdings show how capable a small portfolio of stocks can be.

On any trash-collection day, September through November, suburban and city streets are lined with plastic bags jammed full of leaves. To most people, the falling foliage is nothing more than refuse to be bagged and thrown away.
What a pity! Smart gardeners prefer to gather all the leaves they can reach with their rakes.
No matter what their color, leaves are a gold mine of soil- building matter. One year's leaf litter from a single full- grown tree is worth at least $15 as fertilizer and humus.
Pound for pound the leaves from oaks, maples, elms, and other common trees contain twice as much calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium as manure.
And best of all, leaves are free for the raking.
Leaves are multipurpose, too. They make excellent winter protection for perennials, superior compost, and magnificent mulch.
Now is the time to gather this free fertilizer for next summer's garden. An afternoon spent collecting leaves will yield enough for most gardens.
Whether composted, molded, turned directly into the soil, or used as a mulch, leaves are most valuable for the fibrous organic matter they supply to the soil. Leaf humus will aerate heavy clay, improving the tilth and making the soil easier to work.
Sandy soils treated with leaves will soak up and hold rainwater for plant roots.
Sheet mulching is the easiest way of putting leaves to work in the garden. Rake the leaves directly into the garden and spread them about a foot thick. By next spring the layer will be well on its way to decomposition. The soil beneath this protective blanket will be moist and friable.
The leaves can be tilled or dug easily into the mellow soil.
Leaves also are perfect for storing root crops in the garden. Don't bother digging up those potatoes, carrots, turnips, and jerusalem artichokes. Simply mound some leaves -- two or three feet thick -- over the vegetables.
Mark the row ends with stakes tall enough to be visible through the snow. Then in midwinter, push aside the leaves and harvest these garden-fresh vegetables.
Perennial protection is another use for leaves. Tender roots and plant crowns can be tucked under a quilt of leaves for the winter. Shredded leaves are preferable for winter mulching, since they won't mat together like whole leaves. However, whole leaves can be used if they are mixed with a coarse material such as spoiled hay, wood chips, or corn cobs.
Leaves can be cut up with a rotary mower or compost shredder. A commercial shredder works best, but even running a lawn mower over dry leaves will tear the vegetation into small pieces to prevent matting.
Layer leaves about a foot deep over berries and rhubarb and around fruit trees and grape vines. In the spring the settled leaves will release valuable nutrients and break down into water-holding humus when worked into the soil.
Many gardeners store their leaves in plastic bags through the winter and then use the dry leaves as mulch between rows of vegetables the following summer. Leaves, especially whole ones, mat beautifully to choke out weeds and trap ground moisture while keeping the soil cool and loose for healthy root growth.
Don't forget pine needles. Coniferous trees shed in the fall and their droppings can be used much like leaves. Be careful, though, because pine needles are acidic, with a pH below neutral (7.0). Pine needles are best for acid-loving plants, such as blueberries, blackberries, potatoes, radishes, and raspberries.
Pine needles also provide perfect winter protection for strawberries. The needle mulch has a loose structure that traps heat, but allows the plants to breathe.
Leaf mold is easy to do, too. Simply rake together a pile of leaves and wait. In a year or two -- as little as six months if the leaves are first shredded -- the leaves will decompose into rich, dark humus, known as "black gold" to some gardeners.
To make leaf mold you should pack leaves in a bin or circular wire fence that rests on the ground. If you add limestone, wood ashes, or earthworms at different layers throughout the pile, you will accelerate the molding process. Water thoroughly. That's all there is to it.
When the pile has turned dark and individual leaves are no longer identifiable, the mold is ready to use, Leaf mold can serve as a potting medium, be worked into the soil, or spread on top as a mulch.
Composting is the key to quickly breaking down leaves into plant food. Why don't you build a compost pile this fall by layering five parts shredded leaves to one part manure or similar nitrogen-rich material.
Turn the pile after the first spring thaw. Continue to turn the pile at two-week intervals and the pile will heat up. Within two months the compost will be broken down and ready for use as a side dressing on early crops.
Whether you plan to compost, mold, or mulch, gather all the leaves you can this fall. Next summer this free fertilizer will help you grow more food for the table.

My work is a contemplation on material, process, and object metaphors that juxtaposes the medium of clay with industrial materials to create installations that speak of landscapes lost. Inspired by the landscape of my agrarian childhood home now covered by suburban sprawl, I strive for these works to be spaces and scenarios the viewer can physically or psychologically enter and inhabit, that calls one to pause and witness the result of my consideration of the changing landscapes that surround us.
I employ the medium of clay in unconventional ways to accent the metaphorical capacity of the medium to communicate a sense of memory, ephemerality, and loss. Based primarily on forms from the now lost landscape of my childhood, the clay objects I create may be unfired and preserved in wax, or fired with raw or unexpected surfaces. I present these objects as physical tributes to a memory, marking both a landscape that I have experienced that no longer exists, and the actual tangible process of object making. These clay objects are then placed with forms made of materials that currently inhabit and fill this now suburban landscape.
The resulting works are entities that are symbiotic yet impossible, balancing what can be seen now, what was seen before, and perhaps what may be seen in the future. These works speak of the human idea and need of home, and the necessary yet chaotic change that rural and suburban landscapes constantly undergo. They are meant to leave viewers questioning, perhaps considering the role they play in the landscapes that surround them.

Mumbai: The sultry-elegant-curvaceous and bombastic Bollywood beauty, who once ruled the scene with her talented acting, Ameesha Patel has praised Kareena Kapoor's acting skills a lot in the movie Heroine. She recently watched the flick and could not help chipping in bigger words for the Bollywood's current reigning queen. Although the film has not done well as per the expectations in India but Heroine did and is on way to do well in international circuits.
The fact remains that both Bebo and Ameesha have not been on good friendly terms since quite some time rather long time but Ameesha Patel, putting all this aside, went for knitting the praiseworthy words for the actress. On this situation, Patel says that in life everyone moves and has to be happy with life's offerings by tossing aside what was happened years back.
Ameesha, though has been away from film scene since long, is all set to show her manifestation in movies. She is currently working in few good projects set for hitting the space soon. One of the ventures is her own home production as she is debuting as a producer as well. Like other Bollywood babies, who are seen less or not at all, are turning to production, Ameesha too has turned her face towards churning out movies.
Patel is going to sign up a big movie and she hesitates to talk about it currently. She maintains it is too early to make any announcement of the film. Her own production Desi Magic will go on floors on November 14th and she will be in Dubai for thirty-day schedule for the filming. The actress reveals that between the time period of January 2013 to June, she has five releases.
Ameesha is excited that he return will ignite the silver screen for sure.

Growing up I wore flip flops or was barefoot, pretty much until I hiked the AT in 2003. So that's 21 years of minimal footwear. I read Born to Run and my boyfriend calls the huge muscles on the bottoms of my feet "the Beasts". So really it's no surprise that my feet are happiest in foot shaped Altras and minimal Luna Sandals.
|The perfect sandal seaside and mountainside
I have been wearing Luna Sandals for over a year now and I can absolutely say they are awesome. They conform to your feet over time and are incredibly comfortable and durable. The accessories are well thought out and functional. Best of all this company is located right down the street from me and welcomes you to pop in and have a look. If you want to buy sandals they make them on the spot for you. Very, very cool.
|Day to Day Lunas in Fiji
Here are the models I've tried:
Luna Mono
Luna Mono Gordo
Tabi Sock
The Luna Mono was my first pair and I've worn them all over the place. Super comfortable, great traction and an excellent all around sandal.
Weight: 4.6 oz (single sandal, men's size 9)
Thickness: 12mm
Sole: Vibram® USA
|Luna Monos go with skirts...and trails
Weight: 7.2 oz (single sandal, men's size 9)
Thickness: 19mm
Sole: Vibram®
|The "trail" to Manakau was more river than trail
What about cold feet? Yeah, mine usually are and I don't stop wearing sandals just because it's winter. So I picked up a pair of the Polar Feet Tabi Socks. Pretty much the most amazing addition to sandals ever made. I wore them in camp throughout our NZ trip as well as every nigh on our winter desert peakbagging excursions. I'm afraid I'll wear these out long before my sandals!
|Tabi Socks at camp in New Zealand
I've made the Tabu my camp shoe of choice now and toss the 1.5 oz pair of fold flat "shoes" into my backpack on nearly every trip. Lighter and warmer than flip flops, what's not to love?!
|Tabu''s ready for the next adventure!

HomeSportsBasketballFirst TeamNewsZalgiris Kaunas v FC Barcelona Lassa: Convincing win in Lithuania (78-85)

Ante Tomic led the way for Barcelona with 18 points / EUROLEAGUE.NET
FC Barcelona Lassa have beaten Žalgiris Kaunas to go 3-1 in Euroleague Group C, second only to Lokomotiv Kuban of Russia (4-0). After a poor start, Tomic led the charge with 18 points but Žalgiris were able to hang on largely thanks to fine performances from Seibutis and Jankunas (18 and 17). In the final stages, Arroyo, Navarro and Ribas produced their best game of the night and the Catalans managed things to perfection to ensure that they held on to their lead.
Žalgiris led the way early on, and at 15-10 a desperate Xavi Pascual called a timeout in an attempt to halt the surge. Not that it changed things too much, and not even some of Tomic's finest minutes on court could prevent the Lithuanians from extending their lead to 23-17. Two 3-pointers in quick succession from Perperoglou, however, meant there was just one point in it at the close of the first ten minutes (23-22).
An Abrines three and two free throws from Satoransky finally got Barça in front at 27-29. Žalgiris were starting to struggle, but Barça failed to capitalise on a series of errors and allowed the home side to pull back level on 33-33. Pau Ribas took the reins in offence for the final minutes of the half, and Barça hit back to 35-40, and some late scores from Vezenkov meant the sides went in for the break with visitors in a promising 39-45 lead.
The third period started with a Navarro three, and that was a sign of some great things to come. Barça went ten points ahead at 49-59, and from then on it was a case of hanging onto that advantage. Žalgiris managed to stay in contention mainly thanks to some great individual plays, especially from Seibutis, but their misfortune with 3-point attempts was starting to prove costly.
With seven minutes left, Žalgiris got back to within eight points, but the sudden chance of a comeback was thwarted when Arroyo make it 63-74 and by the time Ribas had got it to 68-82, that was game over as far as the Lithuanians were concerned. Xavi Pascual's side managed the final minutes to perfection to secure a third win in the group, and an important one away to one of Europe's trickiest opponents, who are now third in the group on 2-2.
Next up for Barça in the Euroleague are group leaders Lokomotiv Kuban, who are at the Palau Blaugrana on November 12 (8.45pm CET).
Zalgiris Kaunas (23+16+18+21): Kalnietis (7), Seibutis (18), Jankunas (17), Vougioukas (16), Ulanovas (6) –starting fivel-, Vene (4), Lekavicius (2), Pocius (0), Motum (0), Javtokas (6), Vecvagars (0), Hanlan (2).
FCB Lassa (22+23+22+18): Navarro (10), Samuels (4), Arroyo (12), Perperoglou (6), Tomic (18) –starting five-, Doellman (10), Ribas (11), Lawal (2), Abrines (3), Satoransky (7), Vezenkov (2), Oleson (0).
Referees: Lottermoser, Paternico & Balak.

My dad is officially retiring at the end of the month. And it's his birthday on Tuesday too. We had a surprise gathering and picnic lunch for him today. All the kids and grandkids arrived at the party wearing matching t-shirts with the name of his boat on them…"Knot Done." So named because he is retiring and turning 65 and there are lots of things he still wants to do with his life. Genius.
You can say a lot of things about my dad but you could never say he wasn't a hard worker and a dedicated employee. He is the true definition of giving 200% to a task. I know he is very well-respected by his colleagues. He is a problem solver. He is a leader. He is a teacher. His kids think he's pretty awesome too!
This picture is an oldie. Taken from an old employer.
My dad does woodworking as a hobby too. He's meticulous and accurate and he's taught me a thing or two about working in the shop! Even as an adult I get very excited when dad and I are working on a project together. I cherish those times that he's teaching me something.
For a good part of my life, dad has had a boat. He comes from Nova Scotia so being on the water is second nature to him. I decided to use a nautical theme for his retirement/birthday party cupcakes.
Thank you dad for teaching me the value of hard work and dedication. You are one of the most influential people in my life. I hope you enjoyed your party!
These are Vanilla Bean Cupcakes with Vanilla Bean Swiss Meringue Buttercream. The fondant is Homemade Marshmallow Fondant that I made here. I did add some Gum-Tex to the fondant before working with it because I wanted the decorations to dry harder than they normally do. Fondant is so easy to work with and colour. You just need the imagination! Give yourself lots of time however, as I made these a week in advance so they would have lots of time to set up.
Vanilla Bean Cupcake recipe to come shortly!!

Tourism Stats Reporting
Tourism makes up 11.8% of Northumberland's economy, 2.7% higher than the national average and contributes £665 million to the economy.
Northumberland Tourism have further developed our own Destination Management System, to now include an integrated statistics element - NlandStats.
The video below shows Jeff Sutheran, owner of St Cuthbert's House and chair of the North Northumberland Tourism Association, and Natalie discussing why and how accommodation providers should report their occupancy data.
Talking occupancy statistics
This system allows businesses to input occupancy data and attraction visitor numbers. We need you to participate by inputting your data once a month.

Developing Sustainable Agri-Tourism: Native Shoreline Grasses & Plants Mass Crops
|Proj. #:
|Biodiversity in agriculture is critical to food security and sustainable living. Abbey Gardens is committed to education on biodiversity and this includes the demonstration of good gardening practices and sustainable uses of land. Abbey Gardens is a 300 acre site on decommissioned gravel pits. Throughout the property there are areas which have been remediated from aggregate use but are not considered productive or naturalized. 2017 will be the first year that aggregate will not be moving from the larger pit on site and that area will be undergoing rehabilitation. A smaller aggregate pit was rehabilitated in 2015 and had various waste water construction occur in 2016 for new businesses on site. The goal for us at Abbey Gardens is to create spaces from the rehabilitated gravel pits into areas which are inviting to the community to come enjoy and learn as well as to be revenue generating. For Abbey Gardens to effectively plan for future expansion of multi-use sustainable crops on site it would be prudent for us to model after similar agri-tourism farms in Ontario and benefit from their experiences. Research on other such sites in Ontario and review of how they use various crops for tourism and products would help provide Abbey Gardens information to base their future expansion plans. There the students will be exploring the following areas 1) Planting & Management (soil analysis, location analysis, wildlife, esthetics, soil remediation, sustainability) 2) Agri-tourism (increase pubic visits, revenue generation) and 3) Value-Added Products (create products for revenue generation).

It is hard to imagine a city more involved with, and more dependent on, its airport than is Atlanta. If railroads put Atlanta on the map during the last century, the airlines have put it on the globe during this century.
John Portman tells how a few years ago his worldwide architectural firm decided to consider moving from Atlanta. ''We said, 'This company can be anywhere it wants to be.' But we finally decided we should stay here. Because of the Atlanta airport.''
''Air service is the single most often mentioned reason a company makes a relocation decision in the Atlanta area,'' says George Berry, a former airport commissioner and currently state commissioner of industry and trade.
There are lots of Sunbelters who regard having to change planes in Atlanta as one of the principal drawbacks of the Air Age.
''But we who know the Atlanta airport love it,'' says John Imlay, chairman of Management Science Atlanta, a software company. Of MSA's 1,650 employees, he says, ''We have 300 in the air at all times.'' Roughly 80 percent of the US population is within two hours of Atlanta by air; this has led to something the Wright brothers never dreamed of, the transcontinental day trip.
Hartsfield International Airport aims to take over Chicago's O'Hare as the world's busiest within a few years. The new Midfield Terminal is the world's largest; its internal subway is a major rapid-transit system in terms of passengers carried - more than San Francisco's BART, for example.
Although Atlanta traffic isn't dense enough in any one market to make for fierce competition and bargain-basement fares - as on the New York-London route, for example - officials reckon that metro Atlanta has the highest per capita air service of any city in the world. One important beneficiary of this high level of service is the convention industry; Atlanta is the nation's No. 3 convention city, largely because of air access.
Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines pioneered its now widely imitated hub-and-spoke routing technique here. Short-haul flights bring passengers from smaller cities into a central ''collection point'' for more efficiently loaded long-haul flights.
''Atlanta is always going to be the premier air city of the Southeast,'' says Alan Jenks, publisher of Jenks' Southeastern Business Letter. ''But it has lost much of its comparative advantage due to deregulation.''
He and others argue that it's now easier to get from one mid-size city to another, either directly or via a hub other than Atlanta. Piedmont Airlines is an oft-cited example. Once under regulatory mandate to pick up passengers in the Piedmont region and ''feed'' them, in effect, to Delta and Eastern in Atlanta, Piedmont now delivers passengers to their final destinations in a variety of cities, via its new hub in Charlotte, N.C.
But under deregulation, says Delta marketing expert Robert Coggin, ''We've had an opportunity to serve Seattle and Portland on a nonstop basis, and we've been adding small spokes such as Raleigh, N.C., Greensboro, N.C., and Norfok, Va.,'' thereby replacing Piedmont's feeder service. ''The down side, of course, is that deregulation has diverted traffic away from the hub.''
But Delta and Eastern, which between them account for more than 90 percent of Atlanta's passenger emplanements, profess to be unconcerned by the new hubs.
''Eastern is looking at 10 to 15 new markets,'' says Harold Holt, the airline's top man in Atlanta, ''but we don't know which we'll be going into. Profitability is the key. We haven't seen the full impact of recovery.''
The airline industry nationwide has suffered overcapacity at a time when recession was cutting demand for air travel. The resulting loss in revenue has put a number of airlines, including Eastern, in serious straits. And even Delta, the most profitable airline in the world, posted its first annual loss for the year ending June 30.
''But the industry got smart in April,'' says Robert Oppenlander, senior vice-president for finance at Delta. ''Before then, the basic fare systemwide was $99. We've learned you can't make money on that. Now we've rationalized fares back to normal.'' Bookings have been up the last couple of months, and higher fares are thus leading to higher yield and a brighter outlook.

Artefacts are loved by all. Whether, it is the rare of the rarest Moorcroft pottery or a jewellery of some type. These products fetch great prices when they are bought from the shops based in the UK. They have a rare and artful design and were conceptualized by William Moorcroft.
However, before you buy this type of pottery, you must check certain aspects. What are they? Read here:
Know the history:
The rich history of Moorcroft pottery must be known to you before you buy it. It will give you a better idea about the origin of the pottery and the know how about the creator William Moorcroft. He has also contributed his Japanese works to us and there are some Artefacts made by his son which are absolutely worth buying.
Know the features:
Certain features speak a lot about the quality and the brand. When it comes to this kind of Artefact, wildlife, flowers and other birds are drawn on it. These are drawn by using the tube-lining method giving it a risen appeal and the patterns stand out distinctly from the material.
Know the mark:
Make sure that the product you buy has the mark of William Moorcroft. By doing so, you will be able to identify the original ones from the fake. See the pictures of William's signature on the internet so that there are no confusions in the later stage.
Another piece of rarity is the carat jewellery. You can find them at various stores of the UK but you must check the weight and size. As some gem stones studded in this kind of jewellery are denser and weigh more than others, you must check the weight aspect properly.
Know the diamonds' weight:
The weight of small diamonds is measured in points instead of carats. As there are 100 points in 1 carat, you must know that each point is equal to one-hundredth of a carat.
Make sure you know the above points about Carat jewellery and Moorcroft items before you buy them.

Underground, Empire, Gotham, and other TV productions have made recent TV show casting, TV movie casting, and TV directing news. These shows and movies air on ITV, Netflix, and AMC.
Survivor's Remorse (Starz)
LeBron James will guest star on Season 2 of Starz dramedy "Survivor's Remorse"
Chris Bauer ("True Blood") will also reprise his role of Jimmy Flaherty for four episodes.
He said James, who currently serves as an executive producer on the series, has been an asset to the writers. While his basketball career precludes him from being in the writers' room, he regularly pitches story ideas loosely based on his real life experiences.
American Crime (ABC)
Lili Taylor, who played a victims rights advocate in the first season of John Ridley's drama "American Crime," will return for the second season of the series
King will play a different role in Season 2, and will move from a guest star to a series regular.
Cast members Felicity Huffman, Timothy Hutton, Regina King, Elvis Nolasco and Richard Cabral have previously been confirmed to return in new roles for the second season.
Underground (WGN America)
Chris Backus (Deliverance Creek) has booked a major recurring role and Empire's Jussie Smollett has signed on for two episodes of Underground…Backus will play Jeremiah Johnson, a well-dressed dandy, but a threatening slave catcher. He's the leader of the Patty Cannon Gang who are after the escaped slaves. Smollett is Josey, a wild-eyed runaway who doesn't trust anyone, not even those stationed along the way who would try to help him.
Masters of Sex (Showtime)
Sarah Silverman will reprise her role as "Helen" on the third season of MASTERS OF SEX…In the third season, the reunited Helen and Betty (Tony® Award winner Annaleigh Ashford) are trying to have a baby, which unquestionably proves quite a challenge for a lesbian couple in 1966.
Houdini & Doyle (Fox)
Michael Weston ("House") and Stephen Mangan ("Episodes") have been cast as the titular leads on Fox's upcoming mystery adventure drama "Houdini & Doyle."
Weston will play magician and escape artist Harry Houdini, while Mangan will portray "Sherlock Holmes" creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The duo will join forces with New Scotland Yard to investigate unsolved and inexplicable crimes with a supernatural slant.
Also joining the cast is Rebecca Liddiard ("Man Seeking Woman") as "Constable Adelaide Stratton," whose character is the first female constable ever to work for the London Metropolitan Police Force.
Stephen Hopkins ("24") is set to direct the 10-episode series.
Empire (Fox)
Chris Rock was on the set Tuesday to film the first episode, playing a man from Lucious Lyon's past who is also a prisoner in the same jail.
Other guest stars for Season 2 include Alicia Keys and Lenny Kravitz.
Gotham (Fox)
Gotham will be introducing a new formidable villainous duo in Season 2: Theo Galavan and his sister, Tabitha, who will go on to become DC Comics super-villain Tigress. James Frain (The Tudors, True Blood) has been cast in one of the two new regular roles on the Fox series. He will play billionaire industrialist Theo Galavan. A new Gotham arrival, Galavan is the savior the city has been waiting for — he is sexy, heroic, and lovingly devoted to his sister Tabitha (yet to be cast). But behind Galavan's altruism is a centuries-old vendetta. Galavan and Tabitha (aka Tigress) will take chaos and violence to a new level in order to bleed Gotham. Their plan will lead to the creation of new villains… and the destruction of others.
Scream Queens (Fox)
Charisma Carpenter…has been cast in Ryan Murphy's comedy-horror Fox anthology series Scream Queens….In a guest starring/potential recurring role, Carpenter will play the mom of another lead on the show, Ariana Grande.
Tyrant (FX)

Guiseley bounced back from mid-week derby dismay as a 1-0 success at Solihull Moors strengthened their Vanarama North promotion bid.
After the Lions had seen Liam Dickinson sent off, Wayne Brooksby bagged the only goal of the game with an 80th-minute penalty with the hosts seeing Dominic Langdon sent off.
Following the disappointment of losing to Bradford Park Avenue during mid-week, Guiseley made a positive start with both Adam Boyes and Brooksby having efforts saved.
The home side had a good chance when Darryl Knight's free-kick was well saved by Guiseley keeper Steve Drench who was then on hand to deny Omar Bogle.
Guiseley's task was not made any easier when striker Dickinson was sent off for a strong foul on Solihull's Michael Nottingham.
But with just 10 minutes to go Boyes was brought down in the area leading to a penalty and Langdon's dismissal.
Brooksby hit the ball into the top left hand corner to seal all three points.
"I'm pleased in the way we won," said Lions boss Mark Bower, whose side stay fifth. "We had to grind this result out after going down to 10 men, after what was a harsh sending- off, but we then showed our quality."
Guiseley are back in action tomorrow at fifth-bottom Worcester City.
Bradford Park Avenue backed up their recent Guiseley win with a 1-0 success at home to fourth-placed Hednesford Town as Nathan Hotte grabbed the only goal in the first half. Fourth-bottom Avenue are back in action on Wednesday at home to Colwyn Bay.
Harrogate Town, though, were blitzed 5-2 at sixth-placed Boston United who fought back from being 2-0 down.

The number of dogs Palm Beach County Sheriff Richard Wille or his private kennel are known to have sold climbed to six on Tuesday when a longtime associate said under oath that Wille sold him one of the dogs bought in West Germany on official business.
That figure of six sales contradicts a statement Wille has made under oath. In an October 1984 deposition for a libel suit, Wille said he sold only one dog.
Wille and Sgt. Thomas McGinn, who traveled to West Germany three times on official dog-buying trips, are the subjects of a state criminal investigation into dog-buying irregularities and other allegations.
In Tuesday`s deposition for a federal dog-bite lawsuit entirely separate from the state investigation, Robert Wummer said he paid Wille $900 or $1,000 in cash for a German shepherd named Pax.
``He told me McGinn bought it for him,`` Wummer said.
Sheriff`s Office records show that a dog named Pax was bought for Wille when McGinn traveled to West Germany in January 1984. McGinn bought eight other dogs for government agencies on the trip.
Wille paid $700 for the dog and $157.89 as his share of shipping and McGinn`s expenses, records show.
State ethics statutes prohibit public officials from using their positions for financial gain or having conflicting business relationships with their own agencies.

Bowles and Simpson Statement on 'Cliff' Bill
Read the statement from the Campaign to Fix the Debt co-founders Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson:
"The deal approved today is truly a missed opportunity to do something big to reduce our long term fiscal problems, but it is a small step forward in our efforts to reduce the federal deficit. It follows on the $1 trillion reduction in spending that was done in last year's Budget Control Act. While both steps advance the efforts to put our fiscal house in order, neither one nor the combination of the two come close to solving our Nation's debt and deficit problems. Our leaders must now have the courage to reform our tax code and entitlement programs such that we stabilize our debt and put it on a downward path as a percent of the economy.

- Why should I use Kunvay instead of downloading a contract for free somewhere online?
Downloading and using generic legal document templates available online just makes us feel uneasy, because in life you usually get what you pay for. We wanted a way to transfer and receive copyright and IP ownership online simply, safely, affordably, and without worry which is why we created Kunvay. Kunvay helps you to transfer copyright and IP ownership online with assurance and peace of mind. We take the complexity out of transferring and receiving creative work and knowledge work from others.
- Where can I find an example of the Kunvay transfer agreement?
You can find a copy of the creative's agreement, buyer's agreement, and transfer agreement by using the following links:
- Can I use Kunvay to acquire work from a creative who lives outside the United States?
Yes. Kunvay can be used to acquire work from creatives who live outside the United States. If you live outside the United States, you can also use Kunvay to acquire work from creatives inside or outside the United States as well. Kunvay agreements are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

IP Basics
- What is intellectual property (IP)?
Intellectual property (IP) is intangible property that is the result of creativity such as design work, photos, and written content. Intellectual property rights safeguard the rights of creators and allow them ownership rights to their creative work.
- What is copyright?
Copyright is a legal means of protecting creative work that gives owners exclusive rights to control a work's reproduction and distribution.
- How does copyright and IP work? Who owns it?
The person or company that creates a work is the copyright IP owner of that work. The owner can transfer full and exclusive rights of ownership to another person or company. Once ownership rights have been transferred, the party receiving the work becomes the sole owner of the copyright and IP.
- Why is owning copyright and IP important? Why should I care?
Using copyrighted work or IP owned by someone else without permission could put you at legal risk. Particularly if you or your business benefits financially from the use of copyrighted work or IP owned by someone else, the copyright and IP owner may be entitled to damages and profits you have received. Watch the movie The Social Network, where intellectual property dispute was featured as the central conflict as an example of why IP matters and why clarity regarding IP ownership is important. Don't suffer the fate of a Winklevoss twin.
- How can copyright and IP and transferred?
Copyright and IP can be fully transferred through formal written agreement.
- I paid a friend, designer or freelance writer for their work. Do I not automatically own full copyright and IP rights to the work because I paid for it?
Think about the last time you bought a book. You own the paper and ink, but not the author's words or thoughts. The same holds true for all other intellectual property such as design work, photos and other written content. A transaction in which someone wants to handover full IP ownership of their work to you is incomplete unless it's formally and explicitly transferred.
- Who should be concerned about copyright and IP issues?
Everyone should have a basic understanding of how IP and copyright work in today's knowledge-work economy. If you or your company benefits financially from the creative work you acquire from others, you should be familiar with IP and copyright basics.
- Can I use Kunvay to transfer work to a buyer if I live outside the United States?
Yes. Kunvay agreements are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
- Can buyers pay me for my work through Kunvay?
No. Kunvay accommodates the project and payment arrangements you already have in place with a buyer and makes it easy and convenient for you to do business.

You know when you shake hands with a former catcher. It's like having an overstuffed bag of walnuts put in your palm and then having it squeeze the circulation out of your mitts. It's the fingers, of course, broken so often that they seem as though somebody had stomped out a tango on each and every knuckle. The toll on each catcher's hands, not to mention his knees, is tremendous. The workload and the toll it takes seems almost cruelly balanced against the near-absence of glory at a position where, often as not, you get to take the statistical rap for something gone amiss because of a pitcher's errant throw home or his poor move to first base. You admire catchers, even if you wouldn't want to be one.
But even among that small fraternity of catchers hardy enough to make it to the majors and stick around and take the daily beating that regular receiving requires, there are those very few who stand apart because of their ability to endure. It's part of the reason why we mourn Gary Carter (fourth all-time in games caught) now, beyond The Kid's natural ebullience. And it's why we respect the catchers who didn't last that long because they hit well at the position or provided "above replacement value," but who lasted that long because they could catch: Bob Boone and Brad Ausmus and Jim Sundberg. Easy guys to root for, if long-suffering.
None of that matches the magnitude of what Pudge Rodriguez did during his career, the value he delivered, the greatness that was manifest from his first day behind the plate in the major leagues, all the way back in 1991 as a 19-year-old catching his first game for the Texas Rangers as the other half of a battery with Kevin Brown.
It might surprise in today's all-media environment in which prospects get to spring with few surprises for us, but even back then, thanks to Baseball America and the like, the legend of how good Ivan Rodriguez was behind the plate was spreading. From the squat behind the plate he was as nimble as a cat despite the gear that goes with the trade of framing and catching pitches day after day, and throwing better than anyone ever has as an everyday regular, before, since, and likely ever.
It's well he's calling it quits as a Ranger, because nothing else would have made sense. In the '90s he was one of those players worth the price of admission all by himself, like Jim Abbott on the mound or Frank Thomas digging in at the batter's box or even Ken Caminiti's kamikaze glove work at third. For 12 years in Texas, he was as close to a signature star as the franchise had ever had to that point, outshining even sluggers Rafael Pameiro and Juan Gonzalez in that performance-enhanced era.
The great novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald said that, "There are no second acts in American lives," and maybe there's something to that, but it certainly wasn't true about Pudge Rodriguez in his career. After a dozen seasons in Texas, the man moved on to the Marlins to help lead their other, less notorious "bought" World Series in 2003, a single-season temp who was just getting started at proving he had plenty left in the tank on the back slope of his career. He was a key player on the 2006 Tigers team that upset a few apple carts by winning an American League pennant.
That sort of second wind propelled him to the elder statesman stints that seem to reflect the end of more than a few great catchers' careers. After a pre-free agency trade to the Yankees, he'd move from Houston to Texas to Washington, an extended victory lap on a career that had seen its share of winning.
There was a special kind of agony associated with watching Pudge at the end of his career that took me back to watching the previous "Pudge," Carlton Fisk, catching games for the White Sox at the end of his career, as he set the games caught record that had been, briefly, Boone's. As catchers, both Pudges had probably taken more pounding behind the plate than anyone else to don a uniform, let alone take up the tools of ignorance.
At the end, there was something both poetic and sad about the contrast between the tremendous young catchers who stood ready to replace them -- Ron Karkovice with the White Sox and Wilson Ramos with the Nats -- and their own diminished skills. Draw whatever broad-strokes image about the passage of time in baseball that you care for, but the handoff from an all-time great to a ready kid with skills is the epitome of following teams and players over time. It's why we ache for the ones who have to let go, and root for the ones ready to step in. It's a big part of why we watch.
There's nothing poetic or sad about watching Rodriguez choose to walk away now, though. His greatness is a matter of record. The 14 All-Star appearances, the 13 Gold Gloves, the MVP award or the ring, all of it was his due because he could do what no one else could, catching longer than anyone else has or will, better than anyone ever has, or will. Here's looking forward to seeing Pudge in Cooperstown on the first ballot. It, like so much else, is what he has earned.

Verizon Wireless upgrade cycle increased to 24-months
If you happen to be a Verizon Wireless subscriber, moving forward you will be waiting a bit longer for an upgrade. Coming by way of a recent announcement, Verizon Wireless has said they are extending the upgrade eligibility to the end of the 24th month. For those not familiar with the current set-up, Verizon customers had been eligible to upgrade after the 20th month.
Basically, moving forward you will have to wait an additional four months to upgrade. Or more to the point, to the time when your two-year agreement is actually completed. The reasoning for the change is not all that clear. The carrier has said that "it is not uncommon for customers to have multiple devices" these days and went on to note that "in that context, Verizon Wireless is making the following changes to its upgrade practices."
Anyway, the changes include the following; Upgrade eligibility begins at the end of 24-month contract. Verizon has also said this is in "keeping with how the majority of customers purchase new phones." Not sure about you, but I was always anxious and ready after the 20th month. Key here though, the first customers that will be affected by this change will be the ones with contracts expiring in January 2014.
Other details here note that customers who still have "New Every Two" credits available will need to use them before April 15, 2013. In this case, they are now use or lose. One silver lining here will be for those with multiple lines. In this case you will still be able to share an upgrade with another line on your account. The specifics here aside, it seems that instead of ditching the contracts, Verizon is now going to make you wait longer to upgrade.

This week's comedy news
Comedians are picking fights this week. Here's Jim Carrey versus the National Rifle Association, in the form of a Funny or Die? video that's got danders up in the US. It sees Carrey team up with the band Eels on a comic country-and-western number, Cold Dead Hand, mocking Charlton Heston and US gun-lovers. Backed by a band including John Lennon, Gandhi and Abraham Lincoln (all killed by guns), Carrey's alter ego Lonesome Earl accuses gun enthusiasts of having small penises, and sings: "On the ones who sell the guns/ [God would] set the vultures and coyotes/ Only the devil's true devotees/ Could profiteer from pain and fear." Carrey announced the video on his Twitter feed – "Cold Dead Hand is abt u heartless motherf**kers unwilling 2 bend 4 the safety of our kids" – triggering a predictably hostile response.
Meanwhile, Rowan Atkinson's brother has stepped into the ring, to swing an upper cut at the comedian's Comic Relief sketch about the Archbishop of Canterbury. The sketch, which saw the Mr Bean star play a fictional new head of the Anglican church, attracted 2,200 complaints. Atkinson's older brother Rodney, 64, was reportedly among them. "I was appalled by Rowan's sketch portraying the Archbishop of Canterbury demanding 'wonga' from the masses glued to Red Nose Day," Atkinson Snr told the Telegraph. "I thought at first it was a comment on the grasping nature of a Church – but, no, it was a bunch of wealthy comedians doing it. The language was pure adolescent Richard Curtis/Ben Elton at their worst – language which Rowan, in his youth, was not keen on, and which his family always found rather pathetic."
Then there's John Cleese, renewing hostilities with modernity, in the form of programmers and producers at the BBC. "Now there seems to be an executive class and they have never written and never directed," the Sun reported the 73-year-old as saying. "They seem by some mystical process to understand comedy much better. And now they want to know what is going to be in every programme so that they can say: 'That won't work.' On the basis of what?" Cleese was speaking for a farewell broadcast to BBC Television Centre, which closed last Sunday.
Elsewhere in comedy, Lucy Beaumont won best newcomer at last night's Chortle awards. Doctor Brown was named breakthrough act, while Tony Law, Pappy's and Susan Calman also walked off with gongs. Richard Herring, who won Chortle's internet award for his podcast, has elsewhere accused the advertising industry of plagiarising artists. Plus, Tina Fey has reprised her Sarah Palin impression for the first time in two years, and Jim Davidson has used his standup show to criticise the police's Operation Yewtree investigation into sexual abuse.
And in this week's TV comedy news, Peter Kay announces his new BBC sitcom, Car Share, which will premiere on iPlayer, and the CBBC channel heralds a new topical comedy series. Nick Frost, long-time comedy partner of Simon Pegg, is to star in a new Sky comedy written and directed by Curb Your Enthusiasm producer/director Robert B Weide. And, as revealed in the Guardian, Matt Lucas is working on a new silent comedy series for the BBC, provisionally titled Pompidou.
Best of the Guardian's comedy coverage
• "In order for me to attract to the channel the rebels, the mavericks, the anti-authority malcontents who populate comedy, I had to have that spirit myself" – BBC controller of comedy Shane Allen speaks.
• "A small spurt of silliness is threatening to become a full-blown gush of surreal exuberance" – Julia Raeside on the new trend in TV comedy.
• "I can go head-to-head with the best white, male comedy writers out there" – rising US star Mindy Kaling talks to Nosheen Iqbal.
• "It's good to say: 'In case you hadn't figured it out, I can also do this.'" – Frasier star Kelsey Grammer on his new dramatic role.
• "The idea that anyone is in any position to 'review' [Louis CK] is kind of ridiculous," according to one reader. Oh well, I tried.
Controversy of the week
A forthcoming Channel 4 comedy, London Irish, is in trouble on two fronts. The Daily Mail is offended that the sitcom, which stars Sinéad Keenan (Being Human) and Kerr Logan (Game of Thrones), and was created by Derry-born writer Lisa McGee, features a risque joke about sex with children. The offending moment, screened at a press launch last week, features a woman waking in bed after a drunken night out, lifting her duvet to reveal a small boy, then asking him: "We didn't, did we?" Channel 4's chief creative officer Jay Hunt defended the clip, insisting: "We have a role to play in pushing the boundaries."
It's not paedophilia that's getting the Belfast Telegraph's goat, however. In Ulster, the show – about young expats in London – is getting flak for stereotyping the Irish. The newspaper claimed that the sitcom's depiction of "binge-drinking English-haters suffering from a permanent hangover" had been accused of racism by "members of the community" – but produced only one tweet to support that claim. The Huffington Post agreed, however, publishing this blog by Scott de Buitléir accusing Channel 4 of "adding to an established yet unchallenged custom of casual racism against the Irish in Britain".
Best of our readers' comments
"Frankie Boyle may make BBC comeback," reported the Guardian, to a mixed reaction from our readers. Boyle had his champions, but patience with the Glaswegian comic is clearly wearing thin – at least as far as OneManIsAnIsland is concerned:
It really boils down to whether you think the media should uphold standards of decency or pander to the lowest common denominator … The fact is that the people we choose to put on TV have an impact on how the rest of the populace takes its cue to behave. Do we want the people of this country to treat disabled children the way Frankie Boyle treats them? Do we want them to mock those who accomplish something, and reduce them to being judged on their appearance? Not really. The same way we didn't want people to mock skin colour and Jamaican accents – which is why Jim Davidson and Bernard Manning were removed from national television.
When one commenter compared Boyle with the notorious Roy 'Chubby' Brown, meanwhile, MalleussDeorum was moved to spring to the rightwing comedian's defence:
Brown's politics are horrendous but when he's telling his non-political jokes he is extremely funny … I watched some of his stuff on YouTube and it was undeniably very funny. I was surprised at the inventiveness and his obvious intelligence … He is despised by some for his politics (which I despise too), but mostly what many don't like is that he is northern and, worse, working class. You can be leftwing like Frankie but it doesn't help when you commit the worst sin of all: being a clever member of the working classes.
Speaking of which, the death of Norman Collier – he of the famous chicken and broken-microphone routines – was marked on the Guardian's obituaries page, and elicited fond recollections from FrankZ:
Genuinely zany and off-the-wall, there was far more to him than the chicken thing. His impression of a man trapped in a washing machine was completely mad and truly hilarious. A sad loss, but he seems to have been a genuinely contented bloke. Farewell.
ZodKneelsFirst, meanwhile, sent Collier packing with the kind of wisecrack the comedian would have been proud of:
Could have been a massive star, but was always let down by his sound man.
