West Ham United 4 Southampton 1
Saturday, 20th October 2012
Gordon Thrower
Bit of an odd one, this one.
Quite a few of us were looking forward to this as a result of the visitors' antics in the corresponding fixture last term that would have embarrassed Luis Suarez. Team news was that the back problem suffered by Winston Reid had recovered despite his having spent two days on a plane. Guy Demel's hip was still acting up requiring the inclusion of James Tomkins in an unfamiliar right back role. Surgery on Vaz Te's shoulder means we won't be seeing him for a while meaning that Yossi Benayoun was given his first start of the season. Starting line-up: JJ, Tomkins, McCartney, Reid, Collins, Benayoun,Noble, Diame, Jarvis, Nolan Carroll.
The first half was poor and can be summed up thus:
West Ham United 0 Southampton 0
Yup it was that bad. The only thing of note was the visiting support singing the "we dive to the floor" song. At least I hope that's what they were singing, because a) it would have been quite accurate and b) if they were singing "play on the floor" in celebration of the 14 passes before sending the ball back to the 'keeper tactic they seem to have adopted they need their heads examined more than I thought.
After an interval slightly spoilt by having to read an article in the matchday programme about a couple of old fools who run a website - such publicity will only encourage them in my opinion - the match resumed. With barely a minute or so on the clock Carroll was flattened by Hooiveld. The ref gave himself a second to see whether any advantage would accrue before awarding the free-kick. Noble's delivery looked a bit flat to me but with half a dozen players running across his path, Boruc was totally deceived by the flight of the ball and it went in untouched by another player, despite Ginge's initial optimistic/cheeky celebration that appeared to indicate otherwise. The rest of the players knew beret and made a beeline towards Noble to give the credit where it was due.
We'd barely come to terms with the shock of having seen a goal so soon after the resumption when we were 2-0 to the good. Benayoun robbed Mashida and, unopposed by any interest from the opposition defence, bore down on the Southampton box before playing a low ball across the six-yard box. Boruc couldn't get anything on it and Fonte seemed disinterested in trying to find out whether he could make a clearance, leaving Nolan with an easy tap-in at the far post to cue the chicken dance.
Nolan could have added to his tally a few minutes later. Carroll was brought down for the umpteenth time about 20 yards out. Nobleplayed a clever ball into the box where Nolan had made an untracjed run, only for the skipper to shoot straight at Boruc whose parry was cleared away.
Just after the hour the visitors reduced the deficit. Davis's long ball from the back (irony anyone?) found Rodriguez on theleft. Rodriguez looked to have been a couple of feet offside when the ball was played but play continued and Rodriguez was able to turn Collins before playing in Lallana, whose turn and shot from 12 yards gave JJ no chance whatsoever.
For a few moments after the goal we looked a bit edgy, none more so than when Lallana threw himself to the floor under minimal contact to con a free-kick out of the ref. Sub Lambert, no stranger to the occasional unprompted tumble himself, took the resulting free kick which cleared the bar by a few inches with JJ motionless.
With 68 played, O'Neil replaced Diame and three minutes later the two-goal cushion was restored. Hooiveld climbed all over Carroll yet again giving us a free-kick about 35 yards out. Noble delivered and Fonte played the ball away with his arm before pulling Carroll down by the ponytail. I'm not sure which of the offences was penalised but we only got one penalty which, as ever, was dispatched by Noble who sent Boruc the wrong way to make it 3-1.
With 15 minutes left the ref finally lost patience with Hooiveld who bundled Carroll over yet again. Noble's free-kick failed to beat the wall and Southampton were able to clear it with a 70 yard boot into no-man's land.
Carroll came off with ten left to play to be replaced by Maiga and it took 8 minutes for the Malian to make his mark. Bringing down a loose ball on the right of midfield he ran at the Southampton defence, deceiving three defenders before somehow digging out the ball from under his feet to place a marvellously curled shot inside the far post. A fine goal to make it 4-1.
The manager took the opportunity to give Jordan Spence a few minutes in place of Tomkins, who had been suffering from cramp and the game ended with us knocking the ball about, which was rather amusing for us as the "play on the floor" chant was returned with interest. If only any of the visiting support had stuck around to see it.
Full time: West Ham United 1 Southampton 1
If the Arsenal game had been a good performance without a result, the reverse could be said of this game where we managed to rack up four goals without ever quite getting out of the lower gears. And after that first half, if you'd told me that there would be five goals in the second, I'd have applied to have had you sectioned.
Southampton were poor and will probably have to rely on there being three other teams playing worse than they are if they are to stay up - and that's not the case at the moment.
As for us the win sees us sitting in the dizzy heights of 7th place level on points with Spurs, West Brom and, possibly Everton (whose match is in progress at time of writing). You can't knock that and, whilst there's a tough run of games to come, the all important confidence levels will be in good shape to the extent that we can start looking forward to such matches, rather than quivering in trepidation. And that's no bad thing.

Player Ratings
Jussi Jaaskelainen
A pretty quiet day for the 'keeper really. A bit sow off his line on one occasion prompting a few words between him and Reid but I can't remember him having to make any real saves.
James Tomkins
Never quite looks totally comfortable at full-back.
George McCartney
Solid defensively without catching the eye as an attacking force.
James Collins
Generally ok but he did get away with a couple of lapses.
Winston Reid
Once more our best defender. Having a fine season.
Mark Noble
Caught the sponsors' eye for MOTM with two goals. Not sure I quite agree but he had a good game nevertheless.
Mo Diame
A bit quieter than of late, never really seemed to get into the game.
Kevin Nolan
A decent run out though his goal won't be the hardest he'll ever score. Could have had a second with a bit more luck.
Yossi Benayoun
My MOTM, he was all over the place like one of those annoying little dogs. Good work for Nolan's goal.
Matt Jarvis
Another who had a quiet game. There were little glimpses here and there but they were too few and far between.
Andy Carroll
A constant thorn in the side of the visitors' defence, who had to resort to illegal tactics to deal with him throughout.
Gary O'Neil
(Replaced Diame, 68)
Didn't really catch the eye when replacing Diame.
Modibo Maiga
(Replaced Carroll, 823)
The goal gave us a tantalising glimpse of what he can do. Just a shame our system doesn't provide for two out and out strikers.
Jordan Spence
(Replaced Tomkins)
Just a cameo for the youngster who was given a couple of minutes to save Tomkins' legs from further cramp.
Raphael Spiegel
Did not play.
Leo Chambers
Did not play.
Robert Hall
Did not play.
Carlton Cole
Did not play.

Companies like Groupon, which rely on bargain-seeking consumers to spread the word, have enjoyed rapid growth. Mobile startup Solavei aims to become the next "social business."
The slow-motion recovery is now in its fourth year. Consumer-oriented companies are reluctant to spend on marketing, and consumers are looking for ways to spend less on vital goods and services. Solavei, a startup mobile-phone company based in Bellevue, Wash., is tapping into both impulses by eschewing traditional advertising campaigns and offering cash to customers who bring in new users.
"We believe the greatest advertising in the world is you and me," said Ryan Wuerch, founder and CEO of Solavei.
Launched in the beginning of October 2012, Solavei is a 4G mobile-phone network partnered with T-Mobile that charges customers $49 per month for unlimited calling, texting, and data.
But for some, the service is completely free, because Solavei pays customers for referrals. For every three people, or trio, a customer gets to join Solavei, that customer gets paid $20 dollars every month for as long as the trio uses the service.
The business model is a new spin on the concept of social commerce, in which companies utilize customer-to-customer marketing instead of traditional means of advertising, like ads and commercials, to grow a brand.
For Solavei, its customers function as billboards. "What do you do when you like something? You tell someone about it. We put all the tools in your hand and you get rewarded in return," Wuerch said of Solavei's business model.
The rewards can be great. Solavei users who tell friends about the company through word of mouth or social media have the opportunity to get cellular service for free—and to earn additional money. The paybacks start at the first trio of friends a user gets to sign up for the service. Then the user also gets paid every time their friend refers a new trio. "My son is at Mississippi State and he has gotten over 500 people already who have signed up for the service," Wuerch said. "We have individuals already making several thousand dollars a month."
Leanne McKenzie is one Solavei customer who is already making money off of her cellphone plan. A mother of four who lives in Middletown, Md., McKenzie joined Solavei when a friend posted about the company on Facebook. "It was the price that attracted me first. I'm a stay-at-home mom so we are a single-income family. We were paying $183 for three phones. So $49 for the service, especially when I have a teenager, was a great price for me," McKenzie said.
McKenzie joined during Solavei's testing stage. Six weeks after getting started, she has enrolled 26 people and has made $650 back in onetime rewards, which users get when signing up friends within their first 60 days of service. She also expects to earn even more money as her friends' networks grow. "My bill is already being paid for, that's already more [money] than I even paid for my new phone," McKenzie said. "It doesn't cost me anything but my time at this point."
The concept of customer-to-customer marketing is not a new one. "Word of mouth is much more effective than traditional advertising," said Jonah Berger, marketing professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business and author ofContagious: Why Things Catch On. "[Social commerce] is more persuasive so we are more likely to listen to our friends and it's more targeted. No one is going to tell you about baby products if you don't have a baby."
And trust is also an important factor. According to information compiled by Tabjuice, 90 percent of consumers trust recommendations from people they know, and 50 percent of shoppers have made a purchase based on a recommendation through a social-media network.
Solavei isn't the first company that has made stabs at utilizing social commerce to make a profit. Living Social and Direct TV are two examples of companies that use the technique, specifically through referrals. Living Social's "Me+3" promotion encourages customers to share deals with friends and in turn get their deal for free. Direct TV offers $10 off the monthly cable bill when a customer refers a friend to the service. But unlike Solavei, Direct TV's discounts last only 10 months.
Solavei's customer-to-customer marketing model not only helps the company gain more trusting customers, it also helps them save money. Big brands can spend billions each year in advertising. In 2010 General Motors spent $4.2 billion on marketing alone. And for mobile-phone companies, the number is just as big. In 2011 cellular companies spent $5.3 billion on global advertising.
Solavei users who tell friends about the company through word of mouth or social media have the opportunity to get cellular service for free—and to earn additional money.
Instead Solavei utilizes a more grassroots marketing campaign. The company has made YouTube videos for their customers to spread on Facebook, maintains its own social-media accounts, and is conducting a countrywide van tour.
Companies like Solavei, which invest most of their money in clients instead of advertising, are reliant on their customers. They bank on the fact that users want to make additional money by referring friends, and they hope they are successful at doing so. "It should be all about return on investment in our opinion," said Brad Klaus, CEO of marketing company Extole, which helps brands with social commerce. "New high-value customers are what companies can derive from this."
Many say that figuring out how to tap into a client's social network is the marketing strategy of the future. "In every new marketing campaign that you run as a brand, you should be considering how to make it go viral," Klaus said. "Companies that embrace that will be able to drive more word of mouth and greater results."

January 15, 2012
Source: Fox News Latino
Immigration - it's the elephant in the room.
As the Republican hopefuls push their campaigns south and west for the winter - efforts are made to drown out what critics call an increasingly anti-Hispanic tone.
Immigrant-rights groups and some political watchers say the damage may be irreversible. They argue that the GOP has severely hampered itself as it looks to woo the critical Latino voting bloc that could decide who wins key states like New Mexico, Nevada, Colorado and Florida next fall.
Mitt Romney "is done," said DeeDee Blase, founder of Somos Republicans in Arizona. "He'll be lucky to get 8 percent of the Hispanic vote" after saying he would veto legislation that would create a path to citizenship for some undocumented immigrants and accepting the endorsement of anti-immigration activist Kris Kobach, architect of two of the strongest immigration crackdown laws in the country.
The GOP front-runner, Romney has referred to the legislation — called the DREAM Act — as a handout. The measure would allow some young undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children to earn legal status if they went to college or joined the military. Challengers, including Texas Gov. Rick Perry, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and Ron Paul, have also taken tough anti-immigration stances in the campaign.
Language from them has been so sharp that even New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, a Republican, has warned the candidates to watch their tongues.
"What we have to do is this: We have to tone down the rhetoric, and we have to have a sincere, honest conversation with the voters," Martinez said Wednesday, shortly after the Republican National Committee announced that it had hired a director of Hispanic outreach and was expanding its Latino-focused efforts. She's among the popular Hispanic politicians Republicans will deploy to battleground states in the coming months.
There's a reason for the urgent tone coming from Republican leaders on this matter.
The government projects Hispanics will account for roughly 30 percent of the population by 2050, doubling in size and boosting their political power. Overall, Hispanics traditionally tilt Democrat, meaning the Republican Party is looking at a threat to their future power if they don't work to make inroads with this politically pivotal group now.
Democrats have strengthened their standing with Hispanics in the most recent presidential election years. While much was made during the Democratic primary of 2008 of President Barack Obama's perceived weakness among Hispanics, he won 67 percent of their vote in the general election to 31 percent for Republican John McCain. It was a huge jump from 2004 when Democratic nominee John Kerry won Hispanics by 53 percent to 44 percent for Bush, a Texan who focused heavily on Hispanics.
Some worry that this year's eventual GOP nominee won't fare much better than McCain four years ago — and may fare worse — if candidates don't soften the way they talk about immigration.
"It's an emotional issue, and I think if the candidate can realize that and talk about it, you can still be conservative on immigration and talk about it in a way that doesn't turn off Hispanics," said Jennifer Korn, executive director of the Hispanic Leadership Network. She agreed that "some of the rhetoric could be pared back a bit" but disagreed that presidential candidates are shutting out huge blocs of Latino voters.
The issue is about to push to the forefront as the race for the GOP presidential nomination moves to Florida after South Carolina votes Jan. 21.
Korn's group is sponsoring its third conference in February in Miami, one day before it sponsors a debate with CNN.
Newt Gingrich, who supports a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, is the only presidential candidate scheduled to speak at the event.
Mindful of the challenges, the Republican National Committee unveiled expanded efforts to woo Hispanics last week.
Party Chairman Reince Priebus said the national party had hired Bettina Inclan as director of Hispanic outreach and was implementing a "multifaceted approach to connect with the Hispanic community" that will include digital outreach, traditional voter identification and get-out-the-vote efforts. It is also putting teams on the ground in key states, he said, and will tap popular GOP Hispanics like Martinez, Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.
Yet even as they announced boosted efforts, Priebus and Inclan downplayed the impact the immigration issue will have come November, emphasizing the unemployment rate among Hispanics is at 11 percent, almost two points higher than the national average.
"We need to address it," Inclan said. "We need to talk about it. But poll after poll shows the No. 1 issue for Latinos in this country is going to be how they are going to feed their family."
Democrats, meanwhile, are making the GOP's task harder. Obama's campaign is way ahead in its grassroots outreach to Hispanics thanks to the fact that he doesn't have a primary opponent. His re-election campaign has had teams long in place on the ground in states like Florida, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Nevada. And volunteers already are knocking on doors and conducting voter registration drives and weekly phone banks to shore up the Latino base.

Just three months ago, femtocells were being labeled as obscure technology. But the Femto Forum is hoping that some of its new members will make femtocells an everyday word.
The Femto Forum, an industry group dedicated to promoting the adoption of industry-wide standards, announced this week that it has added several big-name players in the mobile communications industry to its roster, including Alcatel-Lucent, NEC, Nokia Siemens Networks and Motorola. The forum, which was originally launched in July, initially consisted of smaller femtocell designers and vendors such as Airvana and picoChip.
"The forum's work is now in full flow, with the major femtocell vendors and component providers actively working with operators to ensure that their products interoperate," says Simon Saunders, the chairman of the Femto Forum.
Femtocells, which are sometimes referred to as "mini-cell towers," are devices that let you use short-range mobile phone frequencies to route wireless calls through your home broadband connection. Because they essentially take mobile phone calls and convert them into VoIP, they have the potential to free up some demand placed on the wireless carriers' networks.
In order to promote the widespread deployment of femtocells, the Femto Forum has created four working groups to craft industry-wide femtocell standards and to forge a common marketing strategy. Among other things, the groups are working on promoting a unified regulatory framework for femtocells, on creating standardized architectures and interfaces that will guarantee network interoperability, and on examining how to avoid potential interference between nearby or outdoor femtocells.
Saunders says he expects 2008 to be a "really busy year" for femtocell deployment, as more Femto Forum members begin going to market with their products. A report by ABI Research expects femtocells to become very popular with consumers, and projects that there will be 150 million femtocell users by 2012. Sprint Nextel has been the most aggressive major American carrier in promoting femtocell use, as the company recently rolled out its Airave devices in several US cities, making the first time a major carrier has sold femtocells in metropolitan markets.

Ryan & Kat: Twitter clues
Ryan Gosling is now on Twitter. As I reported a few weeks ago, the two are rumoured to be dating. Click here for a refresher.
Twitter's not the most slamdunk source for smut, but occasionally it can yield some intriguing clues.
Yesterday Ryan posted this photo of a tire cover on his Twitter page. Not long afterwards, Kat posted this one. The same, right? Just taken from a different angle. Like passenger side and driver side? This game is fun.
Needless to say, Twitter pics mean nothing. Twitter pics certainly don't mean they're in love or anything more than friends. But as you know, two beautiful and single people in Hollywood are not allowed to be Just Friends. Let's pull a Twi-Hard then and wish it for Kat and Ryan. Love them both.
This is Kat last weekend in Toronto promoting Defendor at TIFF. And Ryan with his band on Sunday after a performance in LA. His hair is all grown out.
Thanks Kristine!

One of the things we are always preaching on this blog is the need to first ask whether what you are proposing to do in China is legal or not. I am always telling of how a company once contacted us, bragging about the huge amount it had spent on market research and proudly proclaiming it to have revealed a "huge need" for a Western company in a particular industry. My knee-jerk response to which was that I did not even realize that foreign companies were now allowed in that industry. Ten minutes of research soon revealed that they were not and this company ended up never going into China, wasting the money it had spent to prove it would have done well there.
We were recently contacted by a very much on the ball investement research company regarding the legality of setting up shop in China as a Wholly Foreign Owned Entity (WFOE). We did some quick research (so quick, in fact, that we did not even charge for it) and our initial response was as follows:
The most recent version of China's Catalogue of Foreign Investment provides the following:
Restricted Industry:
Article 9.3: Market Research (restricted to joint ventures)
Prohibited Industry:
Article 6: Social Survey
We view this as meaning that foreign companies cannot engage in company research as a WFOE. However, many companies do it by creating a service WFOE stating that it will assist foreign investors in investing in China. Then what they really do is market research. As long as you do get caught, it does not matter. If you do get caught, the risk of any real problem is pretty low. Unless that is that you say something in your research that offends the wrong person.
We actually have represented a number of market research firms operating in China as WFOEs. Heck, we have represented some of them on contracts with large Chinese SOEs and with large multinationals. But these companies mostly interview 3,000 people about their thinking on handbags; they are not doing in-depth research on Chinese publicly traded companies, which spin-off massive amounts of money to important people.
So here are some of your options:
1. Do a "consulting" or a service WFOE and run the risk.
2. Do it as a Joint Venture. Find someone in China to do this with and set it up so that you effectively control it.
3. Operate from Hong Kong and fly people in.
The company chose to wait.

Economists don't claim that self-interest is a moral good. They simply recognize it's an important part of human nature, and that government and social institutions must be designed for the human beings that actually exist — callous self-interest and all.
The government steals private property and calls it "asset forfeiture." Dating back to 1970, it's nothing more than a Drug War scam designed to enrich government bureaucrats.

EA Sports and VISA have teamed up to put out a reloadable debit card whose purchases rack up "rewards points" redeemable toward video game purchases. Wait, what if you use it to buy an EA Sports game?
The prepaid card, announced Wednesday, "is a perfect marriage of encouraging responsible spending while providing a unique reward program," says EA Sports global marketing boss Todd Sitrin. Purchases accrue rewards points at more than 26,000 physical locations across the U.S., and more than 700 online retailers.
Like frequent flyer or other rewards programs, when a cardholder buys something, a percentage of that goes into a rebate fund for purchasing EA Sports titles. Although it's a debit card the balance is reloadable either from a bank account or buy purchasing other cards available at places like Walmart, CVS, Radio Shack and 7-Eleven.
If you really want this card but don't know where to find one, call 877-732-7114 and you can enroll over the phone.

With the notions of expediency and legitimacy as crucial, this concept is attractive:
"We need to get on with the leadership question very, very quickly, and I would argue within the next two weeks...
You could conduct a process that would take seven days. You start next Saturday with a nationally televised debate between the two candidates, in front of the decision making body. I suggest the decision making body should be the caucus, the National Executive of the party and the Council of the Presidents. That takes care of the representativeness, it takes care of consultation and it provides a wide spectrum of view within the party. So, you have a national televised debate, then all those people would be sent out to their ridings, for a one week period to consult their membership, their constituents. Then, on the following Saturday, there would be a mini-convention involving all those people. There would be speeches, it would be televised, open to the public. At the end of that process, you would have vote and you would have a national leader of the Liberal Party declared, after consulting the grassroots. The entire country would see it unfold, it's manageable and it's done within our timeframe".
Why I like this idea, it encorporates the "show" aspect, it allows the Liberals to present a public presentation that allows Canadians to see a form of democracy in action. Herle's strategic sense serves him well with this concept, a "mini-convention" is a perfect compromise. It's not one member, one vote, but it allows for real consultation, we would all have a chance to argue our views to what amounts to delegates. If individual people decide a vote in the riding is the best way to gauge grassroots want, that is doable, the idea is nimble enough to navigate. The riding representative then returns to express the feedback from the grassroots.
This idea also allows for the debate requirement, it allows for formal speeches on vision, and it gets it done by December 20th, providing plenty of opportunity for a new team to set up shop and establish a sense of competence and direction. Again, it ain't perfect, but it ain't bad either, this idea finds a way to hit on every concern.

>Behind the Scenes>Google does not want you to donate to RunningAHEAD
Google is forbidding the selling of intangible goods such as web services so renaming it to something else is not sufficient. Terms such as "subscription fee" and "karma points" won't be acceptable either. Why would they exclude themselves from a large segment of the online market?
In terms of tax auditing, they are not the IRS.
I was using PayPal a long time ago. Google came out with Checkout and their fees were lower than PayPal so I made the switch and hooked up their API so I can track all orders. If Google doesn't want my money, then take it back to PayPal. Another piece of evidence that Google is becoming a big brother.
Can you sell something like hosting space? For example, a super special profile page with larger max size of picture hosted on RA? Or maybe we can buy subscriber pins with the option for you to hold them in escrow instead of of us paying x.xx shipping/handling?

Maybe you could offer to sell stickers for $26.2 each, or less fancy ones for $13.1 each. I'm thinking of free stickers my kids get from the dentist. And we should all have the option to decline to recieve the actual sticker. Or pay a larger price for the sticker if we wish to.
I like this idea. Except I'd want to add the $42.20 and $21.10 price points at the very least. Not to mention $5 and $10.

At almost six-feet tall, lean and muscular, and now in the best shape of her career, 22-year-old Dinara Safina is an imposing presence on the tennis court. Over the past year, she has become more and more of a force to be reckoned with in any tournament and came into this year's US Open as the No. 6 seed, after reaching her all-time high world-ranking of No. 7 earlier this year.
Although she turned pro in 2000, she has been perceived for years simply as the little sister of 2000 US Open men's champion Marat Safin. Now, she is one of five Russian women in the top 10 at this year's US Open, and the improvement in Safina's overall game has been obvious. She is playing faster and more aggressively; and through the quarterfinals has dropped just one set (to Timea Bacsinszky of Switzerland in the third round).
While she won the 2007 women's doubles title at the US Open, and was the runner-up in 2006, Grand Slam singles titles have thus far eluded her.
However, in 2008 Safina did finally reach her first Grand Slam final – the French Open, ultimately losing to Ana Ivanovic of Serbia. Outside of Slam competition, she has racked up eight titles in 2008 and was the winner of the Olympus US Open series, leading up to the US Open.
An emotional person and player, Safina has struggled to get her emotions under control throughout the course of her career. Feeling at odds with her previous coach and how they worked together, she is now coached by Zeljko Krajan. Krajan, a former Croatian player, was recommended by fellow tennis player Ivan Lujubicic. The two started working together shortly after the 2007 US Open and Safina is pleased with the new partnership, which has clearly impacted her success level.
"Now I have tennis coach and fitness coach," she said. "They are working together to get me better, so now I guess I have team that works for me."
She also talked about the overall work she has done on her mental game.
"Most of the time the mind controls, but sometimes even the mind gets very tired of pushing yourself. So then come the moments that you say 'you don't care anymore.' But now I feel…I'm feeling better."
Safina also battled chronic fatigue last year, but has bounced back physically and is learning to take better care of herself.
"Now I'm taking much more care about the food," she said. "This is the most important thing for me now. I know what I can eat and what I cannot eat and when and what, so I'm taking really good care of it."
With her life in balance, Safina is now totally focused on what she needs to do each day for each new match. After winning 16 straight matches leading up to the Beijing Olympics, Safina lost to countrywoman Elena Dementieva in the gold medal round, bringing home the silver.
While she is focused on the remainder of the US Open tournament, there is a lot more on her upcoming schedule. She plans to skip the Fed Cup in order to prepare for the Toray Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo. In January 2009, she and Marat will team up for the first time to play mixed doubles at the Hopman Cup in Australia.
But for now, Safina is looking toward just one match: the women's singles semi-final in which she will face two-time US Open champion Serena Williams who will more than likely provide the biggest challenge she has faced to date. With her power and extraordinary ability to move around the court, Williams is a formidable opponent and enormous obstacle to Safina's goal of a US Open championship.
When asked about the possibility of this, Safina said simply, "It will be the dream come true."

Exelon employee volunteers pitch in to help build an affordable, energy-efficient home in 20 days
WAUKEGAN, ILL. (July 7, 2009) - Exelon employee volunteers and Habitat for Humanity Lake County kicked off construction today on an energy-efficient home that will be the first Habitat for Humanity house in Illinois to receive Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. The "blitz build" in Habitat's Carter Crossing subdivision in Waukegan, Ill., will be completed in just 20 days, start to finish, in recognition of the Lake County affiliate's 20th anniversary.
"We're proud of the work Habitat for Humanity has done in Lake County in the past 20 years to help address the community's affordable housing needs, including the building of 120 homes for struggling, working families," said Julie Donovan, Habitat for Humanity Lake County executive director. "As we look toward the future, we will provide leadership in sustainable, energy efficient development through partnerships with companies like Exelon."
As one of the nation's largest electric and gas utilities, Exelon is committed to helping customers and the communities it serves adopt energy efficiency to address climate change. Along with the County of Lake, Exelon is one of the two major sponsors of the project. Approximately 12 Exelon employee volunteers were on hand today to get construction underway on the affordable, energy-efficient home, including framing walls. Exelon employees will volunteer throughout the 20-day build.
"Exelon and its family of companies are working hard to help customers reduce their carbon footprints and energy bills through easy, low-cost solutions," said Steve Solomon, Exelon director of corporate relations. "Our partnership with Habitat for Humanity Lake County is just one of our many initiatives to support energy efficiency as a cost-effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change and address future energy needs."
Habitat for Humanity Lake County selected the Brown-Crite family - Lateashia Brown-Crite and her children Idris (age 15), Irielle (age 13) and Imari (age 8) - as the partner family that will live in the LEED-certified home. The family will contribute 500 hours of labor to the construction of their home or other Habitat needs.
The Brown-Crite family has had to move three times in the past seven years because of poor housing conditions. They already recognize the financial and environmental benefits of energy efficiency, but living in the first LEED-certified Habitat home in Illinois will help them do even more to live in a sustainable way. Brown-Crite said that she plans to use the money she saves on utility bills to save for her children's college funds.
"Habitat for Humanity has shown me that with partnership, hard work and dedication, my family can have a safe home," said Brown-Crite. "My children will know the importance of a better living environment."
The Brown-Crite home will be built in accordance with LEED guidelines and is expected to receive a Gold-level LEED rating. Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council, LEED is the internationally recognized green building certification system. LEED provides third-party verification that a building is designed and built in a sustainable way that improves performance in the areas of energy savings, water efficiency, carbon dioxide emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.
Exelon's support for the 20-day build is part of Exelon 2020, the company's strategy to reduce, offset or displace more than 15 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions per year by 2020 - an amount greater than the company's 2001 carbon footprint and equivalent to taking more than 3 million cars of the road.

Conservative conference: Force against burglars to be allowed
Householders who react with force when confronted by burglars are to get more legal protection, Justice Secretary Chris Grayling has said.
"Grossly disproportionate" force will still be against the law in England and Wales, but the bar will be higher than the current "proportionate" force test.
But opponents of such changes argue they will encourage vigilantism.
Mr Grayling also said people who commit the most serious crimes more than once would face automatic life sentences.
BBC political editor Nick Robinson said the Conservatives, under Mr Cameron's leadership, had gone from a party promising to "hug a hoodie" to one willing to allow the public to "bash a burglar".
Mr Grayling's pledge on tackling burglars follows two particularly high-profile cases, which have divided public opinion over whether the law needs to change.
In 1999, Norfolk farmer Tony Martin shot dead an intruder in his home. He was jailed for life for murder but appealed and had the verdict reduced to manslaughter, serving three years in jail.
In 2008, Buckinghamshire businessman Munir Hussain was jailed for 30 months after chasing and attacking with a cricket bat one of three intruders who had tied up his family. The intruder, Walid Saleem, received a lesser sentence than Hussain, who was convicted of grievous bodily harm. This was later reduced on appeal.
But between 1990 and 2005 there were just 11 prosecutions for people tackling intruders in any premises, including seven involving homes.
In England and Wales, anyone can use "reasonable" force to protect themselves or others, or to carry out an arrest or to prevent crime. Householders are protected from prosecution as long as they act "honestly and instinctively" in the heat of the moment.
It is still lawful to act in reasonable self-defence, even if the intruder dies as a result. However, prosecution could result from "very excessive and gratuitous force", such as attacking someone who is unconscious.
Mr Grayling wanted to change the law on tackling intruders as soon as possible, he told the Conservative conference, saying it would be included in a crime bill passing through Parliament this autumn.
It will mean someone who is confronted by a burglar and has reason to fear for their safety, or the safety of their family, and in the heat of the moment uses force that is reasonable in the circumstances but in the cold light of day seems disproportionate, they will not be guilty of an offence.
Mr Grayling told the Birmingham conference: "Being confronted by an intruder in your own home is terrifying, and the public should be in no doubt that the law is on their side. That is why I am strengthening the current law.
"Householders who act instinctively and honestly in self-defence are victims of crime and should be treated that way.
"We need to dispel doubts in this area once and for all, and I am very pleased to be today delivering on the pledge that we made in opposition."
Asked ahead of speech to give an example of what would not be allowed, he told the BBC that stabbing to death a burglar who had already been knocked unconscious would still break the law.
The Metropolitan Police Commissioner Bernard Hogan-Howe told the BBC he agreed that homeowners need better protection than they currently get.
"If we have the law as it is then people complain that it doesn't help the homeowner. And if we higher [sic] the bar, then people complain that it might mean that people go overboard.
"I think, probably, there's an argument at the moment for making sure that that bar gets higher, and that the homeowner has better protection, and the burglar is put more on notice that they're at risk if they choose to burgle someone's home while they're in it," he added.
Speaking to BBC Breakfast, Mr Cameron of the current legal situation over confronting burglars: "This is something that bothers people, and quite frankly it bothers me.
"There has been uncertainty that if a burglar comes into your home, people aren't sure about what they are and are not allowed to do."
He added that the new laws would give homeowners and householders "a certainty that if they ever got into that situation, they could defend their homes, their property, their family, and I think that's a very important sense that people need to have".
Mr Grayling is seen as a more traditional right-winger than his predecessor Ken Clarke, who was moved to another Cabinet job in last month's reshuffle.
But he will use his speech to stress that there is more to him than the "tough" image portrayed by the tabloids.
And he will stress his commitment to a "rehabilitation revolution" to cut re-offending rates, driven by a "payment-by-results" programme involving charities and private firms.
Adam Pemberton, assistant chief executive of Victim Support, said it was important that people "keep themselves safe" if they detect an intruder. Such events were "really quite rare", he added.
The announcement on householders' self-defence comes after a judge, Michael Pert QC, said that being shot by homeowners was simply a chance that burglars took.
Lord Chief Justice, Lord Judge, said last month that burglary should always be treated seriously and stressed that householders have the right to use force "to get rid of the burglar".
He admitted "occasionally it looks as if the householder is the criminal", but added: "Well, the householder is not in a position to exercise calm, cool, judgement. You're not calmly detached, you're probably very cross and you're probably very frightened, a mixture of both."
Lord Judge added that measuring whether force was reasonable or not was not simply "a paper exercise six months later".

I really love to cook. In my fantasy lands, I am a chef, or at least I get to go to culinary school and learn more about the art of fine meals. In reality, I'm a mom of three little kids and my bad back makes it hard to stand in the kitchen for more than an hour. But who knows? Maybe someday …
What I don't love is just attempting to get the cooking done. With kids and time restraints, it can require a small miracle to get everything cooked at the same time and on the table. Multiply that times 60 when we're having guests over.
I love having people for dinner, truly I do. I love entertaining. But – without fail – every time we do I make myself insane in the hours leading up to the event, trying to bake and cook and decorate and get our home into a passable state. (No one wants to show her guests to the bathroom to find out her kids have colored on the toilet and left used Kleenex on the floor.)
We've had standing Easter plans with friends of ours since 2006; we've been together every Easter except last year (when I had a 2-week-old) during that time, even when we moved 2 hours away. So I'm preparing to host them for Easter dinner in a few weeks. And today it struck me that JUST MAYBE I should go ahead and get some things ready so I won't be so stressed on Resurrection Day.
Here are some great, special-dinner foods that you can make ahead and freeze!
- Some of my friends swear by potato salad for Easter dinner, but I have to have Special Potatoes. Cheesy, creamy, potatoey goodness.
- What can I say, I'm a traditionalist. I love Green Bean Casserole. I love this one even more because it uses homemade cream sauce and real mushrooms!
- I love making bread, but it can be tedious and near impossible when you have a lot of other things going on. These rolls can be made ahead, but baked on Easter for fresh taste.
- For dessert, this Rice Krispies White Chocolate Trifle sounds amazing! Or you can bake cake layers ahead of time, wrap them well in plastic wrap and then foil, and freeze until you're ready to use them.
With just a ham to make the day-of, I might find myself actually enjoying the preparations for the holiday this year. Happy Easter!

a couple of things that I did (all from Riley's suggestions), you may have to do a bit more research for specifics, but I get 1MB inserts (WinXP SP1, Linksys BEFSX41 router)
EDIT: Active vs Passive FTP (big difference)
1. Boot parameters: root=/dev/hda4 runideturbo=false
2. checked my Maxtor HD with "hdparm -i /dev/hda"
Found MaxMultSect=16 and MultSect=off
rc.sysinit "hdparm -m16 /dev/hda"
Now the MultSect=16
3. used mbm's mfs_import (think it's at alt.org) and renamed it as mfs_stdinsert (EDIT: I assume this is now part of DL package, I haven't updated mfs_ftp for the last couple of versions)
4. Installed "setpri"
5. Set ithrottle at 0
6. Set insert_priority at 10

to check your tivo boot parms issue this command from bash
bootpage -q /dev/hda
you should get roughly this
IP address: 192.168.0.2
Primary boot partition: 3
Alternate boot partition: 6
Hostname: unnamed
Net boot kernel name: linux.px
Boot parameters: root=/dev/hda4 runideturbo=false
MAC address: bd:ca:43:47:75:90
RF channel: 0
Standby: 109
if the "Boot paramters:" line DOES NOT include "runideturbo=false" then you need to add it
note whatever your root parms are. "root=/dev/hda4" or "root=/dev/hda7"
and update your parms by issuing this command
bootpage -P "your_current_root_parms runideturbo=false" /dev/hda
on my boxes it's
bootpage -P "root=/dev/hda4 runideturbo=false" /dev/hda
reboot, try an insert. should be MUCH faster [/B]

Obfuscation Lyrics
Everything's a novelty.
Everyone grows but me.
Close one eye. Step to the side.
Everyone grows but me
Everyone's in fragments.
Close one eye. Step to the side.
From the simple idea of Change Blindness, our minds are not as they seem. An entire existence revolving around what we can't acknowledge.
A brain malfunction we'll never admit as defeat... a constant determination to find truths... to find reason... to find comfort.
An unspoken religion in being the ALL-DOMINANT… This is what we call a brain.
This step will allow the universe to run its course. We have a short ticket and a lot is in hiding... so lets take in what we can for now. Just like here on Earth (a notion we do comprehend) Hide what "others" can't understand. The universe is the biggest threat… overachiever that commands attention. Brute force of hysterical reasonings...
There will always be a Marfa.
Close one eye. Step to the side.
As humans we could never be content with knowing all, yet we can't be content with the fact that our brains will never know. A mental surgery... a never ending journey... a technological drawback. Pushing us further from our natural minds.
There will always exist a Kryptos.
Even things created by other humans should be considered in the experiment of an entire species of understanding.
A magician's pure joy…
A mind bend for the common folk…
Follow the straight line...
(A full house watching what we can't see)
The ultimate deceiver…
Close one eye. Step to the side.
We will ALWAYS be part of the great misdirect... stepping in and stepping out.
Mirrors and Obfuscation

Ousted New Zealand cricket captain Ross Taylor said yesterday he was distressed at being axed in favor of Brendon McCullum and needed a break from the game after a "very challenging" time.
After a week of intense speculation about Taylor's future, New Zealand Cricket (NZC) confirmed the 28-year-old batsman had been dumped as skipper and would sit out the upcoming tour of South Africa.
"It was felt that the workload for a young captain was a lot," NZC chief executive David White told reporters, adding that Taylor rejected an offer to remain Test captain, while handing limited-overs duties to McCullum.
Despite presiding over a string of poor results, Taylor remains New Zealand's best batsman, averaging 43.45, and his absence from the Test squad for South Africa further weakens a side missing injured spinner Daniel Vettori.
Taylor said coach Mike Hesson told him he was no longer wanted as captain before last month's two-Test series in Sri Lanka, where the Black Caps fought back for a creditable 1-1 draw after losing heavily in the first Test.
"Obviously, the news and the timing was distressing," Taylor said in a statement. "It has been a very challenging and pressured time, and I don't believe I can give 100 percent to the game at this time."
Taylor, who White said could play in a home series against England in February, did not rule out an international comeback under McCullum.
"I am determined to contribute to the Black Caps team in the future and help whoever is in charge to win," he said.
Opener McCullum, 31, is widely seen as offering more attacking tactical nous than the conservative Taylor.
Hesson defended his treatment of Taylor over the captaincy, saying: "There's no good time to deliver news like that," but conceded: "It's been a very unfortunate week ... and not the result anyone wanted."
The handling of the issue has sparked fury in New Zealand cricketing circles, with batsman Jesse Ryder tweeting that it "angers me watching Ross Taylor getting dumped on."
Retired allrounder Scott Styris also took to the micro-blogging site, saying: "Any goodwill/public support from fans and supporters towards the Black Caps after their brilliant win in SL [Sri Lanka] has now gone."
TVNZ reported on Thursday that batting great Martin Crowe resigned from his post as NZC talent scout in protest at the organization's actions.
Fairfax Media columnist Ben Stanley wrote after yesterday's announcement that the episode had been "an absolutely appallingly executed operation by a national sporting body and its board."
Stanley added that the South Africa tour beginning later this month, which pits eighth-placed Test nation New Zealand against the top-ranked Proteas, is now "looming as a potential massacre."
New Zealand lost seven of 13 Tests under Taylor's captaincy, winning four and drawing two.
Two of the wins were against lowly Zimbabwe, with the highlights of his tenure a rare Test victory over Australia in Hobart, Australia, in December last year and the series-leveling second Test victory over Sri Lanka in Colombo last month.
Over the same period, the Black Caps have lost one-day series to South Africa, the West Indies and Sri Lanka, with their sole series win against Zimbabwe.

England took control of the third Test against India yesterday, although Alastair Cook missed out on a double-century in Kolkata, India.

A fixture on the sidelines for more than two decades, Dr. Homer Drew led Valparaiso University to 371 victories and nine postseason appearances while at the helm of the Crusader basketball program, and on Saturday, February 4, he will be inducted into the Valparaiso University Athletics Hall of Fame.
Drew ended his career, which also included stints at Bethel (Ind.) and IU-South Bend, with 640 career victories over 34 seasons overall, where he ranked sixth among active Division I coaches at the time of his retirement. The nine postseason appearances include seven trips to the NCAA Tournament, highlighted by the Crusaders' run to the Sweet 16 in 1998.
A four-time Mid-Continent Conference Coach of the Year, Drew led the Brown and Gold to eight regular season conference championships, eight conference tournament titles, and 10 20-win seasons. He has had 35 players go on to play professional basketball or baseball.

Animal sanctuary gets Bay-friendly upgrade
Lindsay Lohan or Amanda Bynes won't be making cameos at Davidsonville's upgraded rehab. This rehab — Davidsonville Wildlife Sanctuary — helps rehabilitate geese, ducks, frogs, beavers, deer, turtles and migratory birds.
The sanctuary — where injured wild creatures from emus to geese are rehabilitated — turned to the South River Federation to make a pond on the edge of the property more Bay friendly.
The Federation specializes in finding money to clean up pollution problems in its watershed.
The pond had one of the highest bacteria counts in the Bay watershed. To fix it, the South River Federation assembled $85,000 in grants from three sources, one private, Constellation Energy, and two public, the Chesapeake Bay Trust and Maryland Department of Natural Resources.
The big job was getting the cash and permits. That took four years — two for funding and two more for permits. Building the restored buffer was the easy part, taking only six weeks, according to Kirk Mantay, the restoration project manager.
A dam made of rocks, sand and wood chips filters the water as it travels thru the pond. Native trees now surround the pond, benefiting the creatures that call the pond home and helping stop sediment. A fence keeps bigger animals — and animal waste — from going downhill into the pond.
The pond has seen lower bacteria numbers since the overhaul, which means a cleaner Bay.
"We're hoping that the stormwater tax will pay for future restorations like this," says Mantay, referring to the funding structure created by the General Assembly to help keep this kind of pollution out of the Bay. "These wetland restorations are one of the most effective ways to clean up the Bay."

Counting Americans Abroad in the 2010 Census
In America's last decennial headcount, Utah was 800 citizens short of gaining a 4th seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. One major factor: Many Mormons from Utah spend time overseas as missionaries and weren't counted in the 2000 Census. The Salt Lake Tribune reports how that might change this year:
The State Department would be required to team with the Census Bureau to study the best ways to count Americans living oversees under an amendment offered Wednesday by Utah Rep. Jim Matheson.
The House approved Matheson's amendment on a voice vote, adding it to a State Department budget bill that will now go before the Senate.
The amendment is in reaction to the 2000 census when Utah came about 800 people shy of gaining a fourth U.S. House seat. But the census didn't count Mormon missionaries in foreign countries, a bone of contention with Utah officials who unsuccessfully sued.
"It is unfair to Utah that the Census Bureau does not count LDS missionaries living overseas," Matheson said in a statement. "My amendment will put Utah on a path to ultimately get the full representation it deserves."
The amendment requires the secretary of state, attorney general and the Census Bureau to explore using passports to help overseas Americans vote in elections and be counted in the census, then report back to Congress. The amendment doesn't set a deadline, making it unclear whether it would have any impact on the upcoming 2010 census, which is far along in the planning stages.
Regardless, Utah is expected to gain at least one House seat once the population figures are tabulated.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 14 diseños de 6 diseñadores freelance.
We need a new website template. We want the site to reflect how we're different. Our differentiator is our user experience. Many of our competitors have long lists of categories and users have to trawl through huge libraries of images. We want to make it simple to find the image you're looking for. That way users want to come back to get more images to reflect their mood at any given time. The site design should reflect the young, fun, quirky energy of the brand.
My Display Image
Desired Color Scheme:
The site needs to appeal to boys and girls
Desired Style:
We particularly like innovative web designs with a clean and simple user experience. One of our favourites is http://www.innocentdrinks.co.uk. We love the pencil sketch marks used in the Innocent site.
We also like these sites because they have personality:
Accepted File Formats:
Photoshop or Fireworks
We've started redesigning the website already, drawing inspiration from Innocent Drinks(www.innocentdrinks.co.uk). At the moment it's looking far too similar so we need your expertise to design something a little different and 'polish up' the images/design - how different is up to you. We don't have the design skills needed to bring that magic touch to the site. What we know for sure is that we want to move away from the existing look and feel that you'll find at http://www.mydisplayimage.com.
