Growing a Business Manchester CT
The ultimate goal of any business is to continually grow and develop into something bigger. There are many things to consider as your company expands, so read on to find out what you need to know to ensure successful growth.
7 Rules to Starting a Successful Home Business in a Recession Manchester CT
Indeed, if an entrepreneur is defined as a person willing to take a risk with money to make money then it follows that risk is part of this gig. It should also help to remember the words of Paul Harvey: "In times like these, it is good to know that there have always been times like these."
Back-End Sales for Your Home Business Manchester CT
In business terms, what I learned the hard way was that, to succeed, every business needs back-end sales. Just as an investor knows not to own just one stock (the stock may go up or it may go down), so too should the smart home-based businessperson have more than one way to make a buck.
Branching Out in Your Home Business Manchester CT
Business expansion usually follows a "vertical" path, meaning the business will try to sell more of its current product or service. That's so because the effort usually requires few major adjustments or risks. A retailer who sells men's suits will always try to sell more suits. If the market is hot, that's all he needs to do.
Find an Investor for Your Home Business Manchester CT
Some investors are successful business owners who have sold their businesses, have large amounts of money, and would like to get involved in starting or growing another business. Other investors are simply your family and friends who might have limited money and little business experience, but they want to see you succeed.
Is There Such Thing as Six Sigma LITE? Manchester CT
Home-based business owners are so often overly focused on marketing and generating profits that they neglect their actual business operations. Larger business endeavors, with more people involved and work loads that are better divided up and delegated, do a better job at actually managing their business operations.
Selecting the Right Business Partner Manchester CT
All relationships are a partnership. There are characteristics that define partnership. Knowledge about which characteristics apply in a given partnership make the difference between a successful business partnership and a difficult one. The necessity for making an assessment can be difficult to accomplish for prospective partners.
The Secret to Exponential Growth in Your Home Business Manchester CT
As a small enterprise entrepreneur, a key skill to possess is the ability to continually attract and maintain great clients as efficiently as possible.One of the most important and immutable business development principals that you can apply as a business owner is the 80/20 rule — also known as the Pareto Principal — which states that about 80 percent of your business stems from about 20 percent of your clients.
Understand Female Buying Habits and Increase Your Home Business Manchester CT
If you make an effort to understand the emotionality of a woman's purchase, she will start to form a relationship with you. This is critical because an emotional bond is the only factor that breeds true loyalty; not "favored customer cards," not reward points or discounts, not even repeating their name in a friendly manner.
Use this Five-Step Process to Conduct Super Seminars Manchester CT
Seminars are excellent ways to diversify your existing business. You can incorporate products and services to market through seminars. You don't actually make a sales pitch, of course, as that would cheapen a seminar presentation. But you could offer products and services that have a natural appeal or fit with the seminar audience.

Minor leaguer hits foul ball into cupholder
Minor league slugger Brandon Douglas of the Class AA Erie Seawolves wielded his bat with pinpoint accuracy Sunday when he fouled a pitch into an empty cupholder in the front row of the upper deck at Peoples Natural Gas Field.
And the aunt-like lady one aisle over sure swooped in like a vulture to retrieve an easy foul ball, didn't she? The security camera-quality video almost looks fake, but it's most likely the real deal. Besides, the Seawolves and host Altoona Curve would get into trouble for faking it. And we'd find out!
Anyway, Douglas reached the suite level against Altoona right-hander James Taillon, a top Pittsburgh Pirates prospect. So it's not unreasonable to give Taillon some credit for where the ball ended up. That, along with a modicum of luck, explains Douglas's neart party trick. It's probably not going to get the Detroit Tigers to promote him to the majors — or even back to Triple-A Toledo, where he started the season — but hey.
Say, which is cooler? This, or Avisail Garcia — also of the Tigers organization — hitting for the cycle? Garcia might have had a single, double, triple and home run, but did he hit anything into a cupholder?
It's one thing for a fan holding a beer and a baby to catch a foul ball with the cup, but at least that's a two-person job. Douglas had to hit it perfectly, because that cupholder wasn't moving. Say, could we make this part of the long-debated skills competition at the All-Star Game? It might take weeks or months for someone to hit another ball into a cupholder. I wonder if Yasiel Puig could do it on command, though.
I'm always impressed, during batting practice, watching the accuracy with which coaches direct balls to infielders. Brandon Douglas appears to have big-league-coach-quality bat control.

Your investment to become the WasagaBeachDirect.info franchisee in Wasaga Beach, Ontario
A Low Cost Proven Business Model
WasagaBeachDirect.info is already at work in Wasaga Beach, ON
WasagaBeachDirect.info offers an affordable franchise opportunity like no other in Wasaga Beach...
- Proven revenue model
- No inventory
- Little or no overhead
- Potential for immediate and significant returns
- No limits to growth
For more information please call us at 1 (866) 445-9004 and choose option 3
The Path to Success!
Affordable Franchise Fee
WasagaBeachDirect.info's franchise fee is a fraction of most others
CityDirect.info CitySites, such as WasagaBeachDirect.info serving the Wasaga Beach market, are sold with a franchise fee based on population, the number of businesses, and other key demographic indices. This pricing model, for our franchise fees, reflects the size and income-potential of the market area covered by the franchisee's license.
An area that is more densely populated has more local buyers than a market area less densely populated. A market area that has a large number of businesses, professionals, and organizations has more potential advertisers than a market area that has less businesses, professionals and organizations. Therefore, there is a clear linkage between the demographics of a market area and the income potential for the franchisee of the CitySite that services that market area. This model ensures fairness; a franchisee licensing a CitySite representing a smaller town will pay less than if they were to license one for a larger city.
Low Initial Expenses
The WasagaBeachDirect.info franchise can brag of low start-up costs because it requires no investment in major equipment or things such as leasehold improvements
Setting up any new business always involves upfront expenses. The advantage of a CityDirect.info Franchise is that you are not required to make the major investments typically associated with many other franchised business. Ie: office, land, industrial equipment, renovations, staff.
The CityDirect.info Franchise System is designed so that it is possible to be run from a home office. While you do not need to acquire commercial office space or special equipment, you will be required to invest in some common home-based business technology. Other expenses may include; legal fees, accounting fees, phone, fax, and insurance.
Low Recurring Expenses
The WasagaBeachDirect.info franchise can boast of low monthly costs because it requires no continual investment in inventory and very few personnel are necessary; if any at all.
As you look around at your franchise options, as a prospective franchisee, you will quickly notice that most franchise opportunities have much higher fees and require significantly higher up-front costs than does the WasagaBeachDirect.info franchise opportunity. What is equally costly but not always readily apparent are the ongoing costs that are born to the franchisee. Unlike many other franchise options the franchise opportunity with WasagaBeachDirect.info stands out as much in what it does not require as it does in what it provides.
The WasagaBeachDirect.info franchise opportunity does not:
- require the franchisee to purchase pricey supplies or inventory directly from the franchisor.
- require the franchisee to carry a costly lease on a storefront or office.
- require the franchisee to staff an army of expensive employees.
Affordable franchise fee + low initial expenses + low recurring expenses = potential for immediate and significant returns
Don't buy a job with the others; invest in your future by investing in WasagaBeachDirect.info
If you do the math on most other franchise opportunities you will find that when you add up all the costs that most franchisors expect franchisees to cover above and beyond their royalties and add this to cost of paying down the initial investment most other franchise opportunities pose a serious challenge for most franchisees to reach profitability in under three to five years - if ever.
Working Capital
Working capital is often the key ingredient in any new business that determines whether it is a success or whether it comes up short of targets and goals.
As with any business, it will take time and effort to increase revenue to a level where you can be self-sufficient. How fast you generate income from the WasagaBeachDirect.info franchise opportunity will largely depend on your efforts, strategies and abilities. It is common for new business owners to set aside sufficient funds to cover living and business expenses for 6-12 months.
Time is of the essence; once this business opportunity is taken in your town, it's gone.
Initial start-up costs and revenue growth rates will be different with each CityDirect.info Franchisee. We are ready to discuss all of the costs mentioned above, as well as working capital; if you are ready click here to contact us.
Not quite ready to contact us? Follow the next step below to find out how you can get qualified for the WasagaBeachDirect.info opportunity...

Those are some significant changes and the package is BMW essentially admitting those areas can be improved. Notice the E60 M5 and E39 M5 did not need this type of package.
So how good is the package? MotorTrend claims acceleration is not improved by citing similar numbers to their European spec test F10 M5 from last year. No offense to MotorTrend but... actually, scratch that. Large offense to MotorTrend who seems to have amateurs working for them. Just because the elapsed time in the 1/4 mile is still 11.9 to 11.9 does not mean the car is offering the same performance. The trap speed with the Competition Package rises to an impressive 122.2 miles per hour from the 120.3 miles per hour in their previous test. That is just under two miles per hour from a claimed 15 horsepower increase. BimmerBoost is sick of being nice regarding this level of incompetence in interpreting performance numbers from supposedly professional journalists. MotorTrend, you have morons digesting and presenting your information.
Furthermore, citing the 0-60 number as being the same is not evidence of performance between the two models being the same. This being a rear wheel drive car with over 560 horsepower in either trim means it is a traction limited stat. Even if the car gets a larger horsepower bump why would it correlate that the 0-60 should improve when there is already enough power to overwhelm the grip of the street tires? What is wrong with you? What is so hard to understand here? Why does this reviewer have a job?
The Competition Package makes the M5 faster by approximately two miles per hour in the 1/4 mile. That is significant and although one can exceed this in the aftermarket for those who care about their warranty the package is making a performance difference.
This M5 has Carbon Ceramic brakes and fade is eliminated with them which is impressive. A must have option really for a car of this weight that anyone intends to drive in a spirited manner. How about that the lap time improves as well to exceed the standard M6? Now the M6 also gets this same package meaning it will improve as well but these vehicles are finally what they should have been to begin with. That is the conclusion MotorTrend comes to and BimmerBoost agrees with.

You may use the wildcard symbol (*) as a root expander. A search for "anti*" will find not only "anti", but also "anti-trust", "antique", etc.
Entering two terms together in a search field will behave as though an "OR" is being used. For example, entering "Antique Motorcars" as a Client Name search will find results with either word in the Client Name.
AND and OR may be used in a search. Note: they must be capitalized, e.g., "Project AND Finance."
The + and - sign operators may be used. The + sign indicates that the term immediately following is required, while the - sign indicates to omit results that contain that term. E.g., "+real -estate" says results must have "real" but not "estate".
To perform an exact phrase search, surround your search phrase with quotation marks. For example, "Project Finance".
Searches are not case sensitive.

What Is An HMO?
An HMO is a Health Maintenance Organization. Specifically, it is a type of health insurance that is used by those living in the United States. It is not quite like traditional health care coverage. An HMO is allowed to set their own guidelines under which doctors can operate. An HMO usually costs less than having regular health insurance, but may have limitations to what kinds of treatments are available. They may have more of a say in your health care services than one may desire, yet they are usually much more affordable.
In the early 20th century, many businesses started to offer their employees medical programs that were prepaid. Those people were taken care of as long as they stayed within the allowed procedures. In the year 1973, the HMO Act was passed, and the HMO became a mainstay in the American medical community.
Cheaper insurance can be received with an HMO, because the HMO can negotiate for more affordable health care than a patient with no health care plan would get. An HMO can eliminate treatments that they deem unnecessary, thus reducing costs and fees. This may or may not be beneficial to the person using the HMO. There are many different HMO's operating in the United States today.
Advantages Of An HMO
Being a member of an HMO may have many advantages. First, the cost is usually minimal. Many insurance companies have co-payments, meaning you are responsible for a certain percentage of your medical bill or prescription. Or, there could be an annual deductible that a patient has to meet before the insurance company will start paying for coverage. Many HMO members simply pay one monthly fee, and it does not matter how much medical attention they receive per month.
HMO's don't just cure sickness and disease; they also attempt to prevent it. They encourage their members to seek out medical treatment early. This way, issues may be resolved before they get too severe, thus costing more money. HMO's typically offer well-baby visits, immunizations, mammograms, and physicals. This way, problems may be caught early, preventing the need for more costly medical services later. Also, there are many HMO's that offer other preventative care, such as discounts to gyms, or health education classes to increase your knowledge of better health. Even if the issues are severe, HMO's typically don't have a limit of your lifetime benefits, which is not like most insurance plans. As long as you are a member, your HMO will cover your treatment. An HMO can be a great type of medical insurance for you and your family.
Medicare is one of the most used insurance programs for senior citizens today. This program is provided by the government, and can give coverage to those ages 65 and older, or those with a disability, no matter what your income is. There are three parts to Medicare: Part A, Part B, and Part D.
Medicare Part A covers care that is received in a hospital as an inpatient, in a nursing home, and also home health care and hospice care. Part B is for medical services that are deemed both necessary and reasonable. These will include visits to the doctor, any x-rays that may be needed, any laboratory or blood work done, ambulance service, outpatient health care, and any home health care that is necessary. It may also include necessities such as a hospital bed needed in the home, or a wheelchair, as well as some medical supplies for use in the home. Medicare Part D is a generally new program that covers prescription drugs. It is currently only available through either private drug plans or private health plans through Medicare.
A person who is eligible for Medicare must be 65 years or older and have been a United States citizen for 5 straight years. You may also be eligible if you are under 65 and disabled, and have been getting disability benefits through social security (also called SSDI) for a minimum of 2 years. You may also receive Medicare if you receive dialysis for permanent kidney failure, or if you are in need of a kidney transplant. Those who have Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis can also qualify for Medicare services.

Friedman: Customer service role for politics
Published 6:19 pm, Saturday, January 12, 2013
PALO ALTO, Calif. — It is often said that Britain and the United States are two countries divided by a common language. That is also true of Washington and Silicon Valley. The other day, I was interviewing Alan S. Cohen, an expert on networks who has been involved in several successful startups. At one point, Cohen began talking about the importance of "collaboration" both within and between firms in Silicon Valley. Then he stopped and said it's interesting that in Silicon Valley "collaboration" is defined as something you do with another colleague or company to achieve greatness — something to be praised — as in: "They collaborated on that beautiful piece of software." But in Congress "collaboration" means something very different today. It's the second definition — collaboration is an act of treason — something you do when you cross over to vote with the other party. In Silicon Valley, great "collaborators" are prized; in Washington, they are hanged. Said Cohen, who was vice president at Nicira, a networking startup that recently sold for $1.26 billion: "In Washington, when they say 'collaborator' they mean 'traitor'; here they mean 'colleague.'"
It's not the only reason, but it's a big reason that Silicon Valley is thriving more than ever, finding more ways to solve bigger and bigger problems faster, and that Washington is only capable of producing 11th-hour, patched-together, Rube Goldberg compromises, with no due diligence, that produce only suboptimal outcomes to our biggest problems. "People in Washington," said Cohen, "forgot that they are developers: 'I am on this committee. I have to fix this problem and write some software to do it,' and that requires collaboration. They have forgotten their job and the customer."
Don't get me wrong, Silicon Valley is not some knitting circle where everyone happily shares their best ideas. It is the most competitive, dog-eat-dog, I-will-sue-you-if-you-even-think-about-infringing-my-patents innovation hub in the world.
Despite the heated competition, lots of collaboration still happens here for one main reason: to serve the customer the best product or service. One way is through new open-source innovation platforms like GitHub — a kind of "Wikipedia for programmers" — where hobbyists, startups and big firms share ideas to enlist more people (either within a firm in restricted ways or from the outside in a wide open manner) to help improve their software or websites.
Another way is through "co-opetition." There are many examples here of companies trying to kill each other in one market but working together in another — to better serve customers. Microsoft Windows runs on Apple Macs because customers wanted it. When Apple Maps failed, Apple asked its users to download Google Maps. Finally, within firms, it is understood that to thrive in today's market, solve the biggest problems and serve customers, you need to assemble the best minds from anywhere in the world.
"When you obsess about the customer, you end up defeating your competition as a byproduct," said K.R. Sridhar, the founder of Bloom Energy, a fuel-cell company. "When you are just obsessed about the competition, you end up killing yourself" as a byproduct — "because you are not focused on the customer."
The far-right lurch of the GOP's base has made this problem worse. When President Barack Obama built his health care plan on Mitt Romney's operating system in Massachusetts, Romney was so focused on coddling his base to beat Obama — rather than trying to improve Obama's iteration of Romney's own design to best serve all the customers — that Romney disowned his own software. What company would do that?
"Sure, competition here is sharp-elbowed," said Reid Hoffman, a co-founder of LinkedIn. "But no one can succeed by themselves. Apple today is totally focused on how it can better work with its ((applications)) developer community." It cannot thrive without them. "The only way you can achieve something magnificent is by working with other people," said Hoffman. "There is lots of co-opetition."
With collaboration, one plus one can often turn out to be four, says Jeff Weiner, the CEO of LinkedIn, adding: "I will always work with you — if I know we'll get to four. You can't build great products alone. And if everyone understood that you can't build great government alone, our country would be in a different place."

ArcEm is a register level emulator of the Acorn Archimedes A4x0 system based around the ARM microprocessor. It is distributed with ARM Linux binaries and will boot ARM Linux and Acorn's RISC OS 3.1. It runs under X, Win32, and RISC OS. It is based on the release of the ARM emulator core by ARM Ltd, although this has been heavily modified for the emulation. It is a reasonably accurate register level emulation and as such should run pretty much anything.
The Catweasel Floppy Read/Write Tools are a set of tools for owners of Catweasel MK1 ISA and Catweasel MK3/MK4 PCI universal floppy disk controllers. cw2dmk reads several kinds of floppy disk, some of which ordinary PC controllers have trouble with, and save them in the DMK disk image format used by TRS-80 emulators. It can also handle any disk written using a Western Digital 177x/179x floppy disk controller, a PC-style NEC765-compatible controller, or a Digital Equipment Corporation RX02 controller. dmk2cw writes any DMK image back to a floppy. jv2dmk and dmk2jv3 convert images between DMK and JV1 and JV3 formats without requiring Catweasel hardware.
cxmon is an interactive command-driven file manipulation tool inspired by the "Amiga Monitor" by Timo Rossi. It has commands and features similar to a machine code monitor/debugger, but it lacks any functions for running/tracing code. There are, however, built-in PowerPC, 680x0, 80x86, 6502 and Z80 disassemblers and special support for disassembling MacOS code. cxmon is primarily intended for emulation development but it can be used as a generic tool for manipulating and analyzing binary data and machine code, or just as a hex calculator.

Ed Sheeran may be adding a new cover song to his concerts.
The charismatic pop star that scored a viral hit with his mash up of Blackstreet's "No Diggity" and Macklemore's "Thrift Shop" has been rehearsing Beyoncé's "Drunk in Love."
"I might forget the words cause I'm not quite there, finishing it," Ed said Wednesday before previewing a snippet of his work in progress during a stop by Ryan Seacrest's morning show.
Hear Ed Sheeran's "Drunk in Love" cover at .50 mark:
Even though Ed forgot some of the lyrics to the chorus, his acoustic rendition sounds incredible. "I'll get there eventually," he said after his 20-second clip.
What do you think?
Ed also discussed his tattoos, showing off a new teddy bear on his right bicep. The art on his right arm is mainly family-oriented, and the other arm features more music-related drawings, he said.
The BRIT Awards-winning artist is prepping for the follow up to his 2011 debut "+," writing some of the songs last year while he was on tour with Taylor Swift. "Over the course of the year, I did over 120 songs," he told Ryan.
Ed added that his time in the U.S. had an influence on the songs. "America is one of these countries where you have a lot of experiences," he said. "It's not just rapping about rope chains. There are songs inspired by Nashville.

"The Work We Put In"
by Vanessa Walker
"The Work We Put In" is an independently made, 12-minute video reporting the history and significance of the Multi-Cultural Center, the Women's Resource Center and PRIDE Center at California State University, Sacramento.
My goal for this video was to report on how these centers at Sacramento State have become a safe haven for some students, and why that is. As a former student assistant at the Multi-Cultural Center and Women's Resource Center, I've experienced from the inside the influence these spaces can have on those who visit. After I left the centers, I went back to unearth forgotten history and interview current staff about the influence they think they've had in the Sacramento State community the past several decades.

Zebra_Form is a PHP class that simplifies the process of creating and validating HTML forms. Its object-oriented structure promotes rapid HTML forms development and encourages developers to write clean and easily maintainable code. It frees the developers from the repetitive task of writing the code for validating forms by offering powerful built-in client-side and server-side validation. Zebra_Form has an integrated cross-site scripting prevention mechanism that automatically strips out potentially malicious code from the submitted data. It also prevents automated SPAM posts, out of the box and without relying on CAPTCHA by using honey pots. Output can be generated either automatically or manually through templates (basic PHP files). When generated automatically, the generated output has the same look and feel across all major browsers. It provides all the controls you'd expect in an HTML form and, additionally, date/time pickers, captcha, and AJAX-like file upload controls.
JavaScript Auto Complete is an object that provides auto-complete support for Web form text inputs. It displays a pull-down menu with options based on the entered text. The presentation of the pull-down menu is configurable using CSS styles. The object may trigger calls to event handlers when the user selects a given suggested option.
CCFE is a simple tool to quickly supply an interactive screen-oriented interface to command line scripts and commands. It prompts users for the information needed to run the commands, and can be programmed with your preferred shell to provide predefined selections and run-time defaults. It also provides a menu system to hierarchically organize them and a viewer to browse the standard output and standard error of invoked scripts or commands.
Keyboard is an object that can show an on-screen keyboard to emulate letter key typing. It can display a keyboard on the page with buttons for letters. The user can click on the letter buttons, and the object pastes the letters on the currently active form input. It supports switching between many types of keyboard maps.
Feedback Easy is a JavaScript object that can collect a Web site user's feedback using Google Analytics. It shows forms to let the current user provide a feedback comment and rate the site. The provided feedback is recorded as an event in Google Analytics. This object also keeps track of the current user and prevents the feedback form from being presented again.
Aletheia is a browser-like application for sending raw HTTP requests. It is designed for debugging and finding security issues in Web applications. It is possible to apply filters on every request and response which can modify the content, for making Basic Authentication or OAuth requests, for example. Because it is possible to modify every bit of the request, it is easy to exploit Web applications. That means you can set, for example, custom Cookies or User-Agents, or send file uploads to the server. It uses the Apache HTTP core components library to send HTTP requests. This application also helps you understand how the HTTP protocol works.
Image Selector previews images defined in select input options. It can take as a parameter the identifier of a form select input element which has options set to the URLs of images to be picked by the user. The object can display the currently-selected image inside a preview page element. The object can also change the currently-selected image to move to the next, previous, first, last, or to any of the images in the list.
Form Saver is a PHP class which fills form inputs with submitted values. It can capture the output of the current page with a form template to extract the list of inputs, process and extract the values of a just-submitted form, and alter the form template to insert submitted input values. The processed form template is output to show the form filled with the submitted values.
Joomla contact form builder extension is a complicated tool for making submission forms for your Joomla website. It permits you to specify parameters like colors and fonts. It can use a Google map when given an address or geographical coordinates (longitude and latitude), and the user can drag the marker to the required location.

King Lear is widely regarded as Shakespeare's crowning artistic achievement. The scenes in which a mad Lear rages naked on a stormy heath against his deceitful daughters and nature itself are considered by many scholars to be the finest example of tragic lyricism in the English language. Shakespeare took his main plot line of an aged monarch abused by his children from a folk tale that appeared first in written form in the 12th century and was based on spoken stories that originated much further into the Middle Ages. In several written versions of "Lear," the king does not go mad, his "good" daughter does not die, and the tale has a happy ending.
This is not the case with Shakespeare's Lear, a tragedy of such consuming force that audiences and readers are left to wonder whether there is any meaning to the physical and moral carnage with which King Lear concludes. Like the noble Kent, seeing a mad, pathetic Lear with the murdered Cordelia in his arms, the profound brutality of the tale compels us to wonder, "Is this the promised end?" (V.iii.264). That very question stands at the divide between traditional critics of King Lear who find a heroic pattern in the story and modern readers who see no redeeming or purgative dimension to the play at all, the message being the bare futility of the human condition with Lear as Everyman.

Thankfully I have no odd personality quirks that I know of that can be put into this.

McGwire brings lower profile to Hall of Fame voters
Former slugger, now a coach, will be considered for Cooperstown a seventh time
In three years as a coach, Mark McGwire has achieved something he long wanted: he's just a guy doing his best to help the team win. McGwire does his work -- quite successfully the past two seasons -- and stays out of the spotlight.
Even with a move from St. Louis to Los Angeles, the famously private McGwire is no longer a star attraction for reporters. He was a huge story when he was hired by the Cardinals prior to the 2010 season, but with each passing year his profile has lowered.
That McGwire made the move from the place where he is most beloved tells a lot about the former slugger. McGwire, now the Dodgers' hitting coach, chose to be close to his family rather than remain in Cardinals country, where he remains an icon.
McGwire's lower profile as a coach coincides with him no longer being the near lock for enshrinement in Cooperstown that he appeared to be 10 years ago. Then again, he's also no longer the lightning rod that he was two years ago after admitting to steroid use.
These days, the iconic slugger is one of many names under consideration, so far receiving more than enough support to stay on the ballot but not enough to put himself in the picture for future induction. Entering his seventh year on the Hall of Fame ballot, the question is whether McGwire will start the kind of climb that could get him into the Hall by the time his allotted 15 years on the ballot are up.
McGwire, who retired as the No. 5 home run hitter of all time (he's now 10th), looked like he could be headed for Cooperstown immortality when he called it a career following the 2001 season. Since then, the subject of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball became a front-burner issue, and McGwire was the first casualty in Hall of Fame voting.
When McGwire returned to the game to be the Cardinals' hitting coach in 2010, he repeatedly apologized for his use of steroids. Although some argued that he didn't go far enough, McGwire came forward in a way that few of his contemporaries have. And yet he stepped backward, rather than forward, in the voting.
The 2011 results -- the first after his public admission -- saw McGwire receive a lower vote total and vote percentage than in any of his previous years on the ballot. McGwire received 115 votes, 19.8 of the electorate, after holding steady at 21 percent or more in his first four years. He dropped slightly again in 2012, to 112 votes, good for 19.5 percent. That was the 10th-highest total among last year's candidates.
His first time around, "Big Mac" was named on 23.5 percent of ballots, ranking ninth among all candidates. McGwire's second year on the ballot, 2008, saw virtually the same result. Once again he finished ninth in the balloting. He received 128 votes, or 23.6 percent.
In McGwire's third year as a candidate, his vote total and percentage both dropped, but he bounced back. In the 2010 balloting, McGwire once again returned to exactly 128 votes, which this time was good for 23.7 percent of the vote. Then he dropped off in '11, and a little more in 2012.
A candidate must receive 75 percent of the vote from eligible Baseball Writers' Association of America members to gain election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Barry Larkin was the only BBWAA inductee in 2012, receiving 86.4 percent of the vote. Jack Morris (66.7 percent in 2012), Jeff Bagwell (56.0 percent) and Lee Smith (50.6 percent) are the top returning vote-getters from last year's ballot.
The odds for McGwire grow longer in 2013 because of an influx of prominent names on the ballot. Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Craig Biggio, Curt Schilling, Sammy Sosa and Mike Piazza all are on the ballot for the first time. Voters are permitted to support no more than 10 players, so the addition of qualified candidates affects the vote totals of holdover players.
During his playing career, McGwire admitted taking androstenedione, a steroid precursor, but nothing stiffer than that. In January 2010, he stepped forward, admitting to steroid use and apologizing for it. McGwire staunchly maintained that his statistics were not inflated by his use of the drugs, but his contrition was hard to miss.
"I wanted to talk about this five years ago, but I wasn't in position to do it," McGwire said after his nationally televised admission. "I think everybody that's a human being has held something in that they wanted to release for quite some time. ... I'm ready to turn the page and move on with my life. It's something that I totally regret. I can't say that I'm sorry enough to everybody in baseball and across America, whoever watches this great game."
As a player, McGwire was a true offensive force and, perhaps, an under-appreciated fielder. He was a 12-time All-Star, a Gold Glove winner in 1990 and he finished in the top 10 in Most Valuable Player balloting five times.
He ranks eighth all-time in slugging percentage, 10th in home runs and first in at-bats per home run. McGwire played on six playoff teams, three pennant winners and the 1989 World Series-champion A's. His .263 career batting average argues against induction, but by most other numbers, his was indisputably a Hall of Fame career.
"For me, there isn't anything that's changed about, No. 1, how much I believe in him, and No. 2, what that means as far as his career and his production and some of the historic things he did," said Tony La Russa, who managed McGwire in both Oakland and St. Louis. "I'm hoping that he gets that honor sooner rather than later."
When McGwire made his full-season debut in 1987 for a young and emerging Oakland team, he was a phenomenon, hitting 49 homers, most of them mammoth and majestic. He drew 71 walks, showing the strike-zone judgment that would be nearly as much a part of his profile as his power. And he did while playing his home games in a brutal hitter's ballpark several years before the offensive explosion of the 1990s.
McGwire followed that up with 32, 33 and 39 homers for the pennant-winners from 1988-90, then struggled badly in '91. A rebound brought 42 homers in '92, but McGwire battled injuries throughout '93 and '94.
When McGwire returned healthy in 1995, though, he was a force like never before. He hit for a higher average than he had in the past. He drew even more walks. And he hit homers at a rate even he hadn't previously managed. From 1995-2000 -- his last really effective season -- McGwire went deep 316 times, an average of once every 8.06 at-bats.
McGwire was a dominating force in the lineup until injuries finally took him down. He struggled through 2001 before hanging it up at age 38.

Pokémon: The Return of Team Galactic (PG)- RPG Thread (RESTARTED)
Other Important Threads:
Discussion Thread
A couple of years ago, I made this RPG on SPPf, but we never finished, so now I've decided to restart it. I've changed some things around to hopefully make it better.
Plot: It all happened 1 year ago. Lucas, a Pokemon trainer striving to be the best in Sinnoh and his sister, Dawn, striving to be the best Sinnoh co ordinater, took down Team Galactic. This event took place at Spear Pillar when the leader of Team Galactic, Cyrus, used his 2 Red Chains to summon both Dialga, the governor of time, and Palkia, the governor of space. Looker, a member of the International Police and Cynthia, the current Sinnoh Champion, were there to help. Former commanders, Mars and Jupiter, were there to help Cyrus. Things went wrong when a black hole appeared from the ground between Cyrus and the two Pokemon, Dialga and Palkia. From the black hole, Giratina had appeared. Giratina roams around as the only Pokemon in the Distortion World. The Distortion World is a place parallel to the human and Pokemon world. Giratina pulls Cyrus into the Distortion World and then Lucas, Dawn, Looker and Cynthia go on in. When they found Cyrus, Lucas and Dawn battled, and beat Cyrus. Giratina makes the realization not to stay mad since Cyrus will just stay in the Distortion World. Dialga and Palkia then go back to their respective dimensions.
But, that is what happened a year ago. Now, Cyrus is at the Distortion World, Mars and Jupiter are good girls now, Charon is arrested because of his actions at Stark Mountain, but people have reason to believe that Saturn will recreate Team Galactic although no one has seen him. Most people think that Team Galactic is gone forever; others believe that Team Galactic joined forces with other evil organizations, but Looker, Cynthia and Rowan all have reason to believe that Saturn has recreated Team Galactic. They do not know their current intentions now though. The three of them fear that Team Galactic has the same plan for a new world that involves a Pokemon far stronger than Dialga or Palkia. Cynthia is not accepting any Pokemon battles right now for people to steal her title of Sinnoh Champion until all of this is resolved.
Now, you are probably wondering where you come in. Well, Rowan is expecting new people to come for your starter Pokemon and so you guys can begin your journeys. Now that Lucas and Dawn are in a new region, they cannot help so these new people should help. You guys are to report to his lab in Sandgem Town at the Sinnoh Region to retrieve your starter Pokemon.
(Be sure to know what you are doing with your characters. Try to have your character(s) stick with other RPGers. Also, the events of this RPG take place in the year 2010 because it takes place after Platinum, which was released internationally in 2009. By the end, we'd be in the year 2013, so it lasts from 2010-2013.)
General Rules:
1. We are required to abide by all of the SPPf rules that relating to RPGs.
2. Under no circumstances can you argue with me, although you may point out mistakes NICELY.
3. You've got to stay active! I'm taking a lot of time to do this so don't be rude by not being active! It's a different story if you have a midterm in school or something, so arrange for someone to take over if something like that happens.
4. The RPG is rated PG so let's keep it like that. No extreme violence or anything like that.
5. Don't flame other members and don't be an annoying troll.
6. Check the first post for some answers before asking questions.
7. Reply to VMs/PMs myself or other members of the RPG send you, especially if they are asking a question. It's rude if someone asks you a question and you don't reply.
7. Have fun!!
Sign Up Thread Rules:
1. Your Sign Ups are expected be up to par with what my criteria is expecting.
2. If this is your first RPG, you can Sign Up especially if it turns out to be good.
3. If you know that you won't be active, I recommend that you not Sign-Up.
4. I'll give you some chances if you mess up, especially if it is minor.
5. Reserves will last for exactly one month although I might extend it if there are 2 Sign Ups to be made.
6. Please don't take forever. Sign Ups are not life projects. It could easily take you 2- 3 hours maximum if you put in the time.
7. The Sign Up thread will be used for questions relating to the RPG until the Discussion Thread is posted. I'll make an announcement when the Discussion Thread is posted.
8. Don't tell people if something is wrong with their Sign Ups unless if you are the mod, me or my Co-GM. (Which I don't have)
9. Don't argue with me about the qualifications containing the Sign Up. It's MY RPG which pretty much has the qualifications that the SPPf RPG staff is looking for.
10. Don't say that you'll reserve, log off and never come back on SPPf or just not post in the RPG. Also, reply to my VMs and PMs.
11. It is recommended that you type the Sign Up on a word processor like Microsoft Word so you can check for grammatical mistakes and it makes life easier for you.
12. Your Sign Up must have great usage of punctuation marks, capitalization, etc.
13. Once the Discussion Thread and RPG Thread are posted, I'll have a mod close the Sign Up Thread so that no annoying members post there and since it would be utterly useless when the Discussion and RPG Threads are posted in their respective locations.
RPG Thread Rules:
1. Only the accepted members, mods giving warnings (which should not happen) and I are allowed to post in the RPG Thread.
2. You are expected to stay active and post in the RPG contributing posts.
3. It is required by the SPPf RPG staff that all posts in the RPG thread should be at least 7 lines with very good description. At least make solid attempt with the description.
4. Your posts are expected to have great usage of punctuation marks, capitalization, etc.
5. Your Pokemon should not be too powerful early on unless if they are fully evolved Pokemon caught when you have 6 badges or something. Egg moves are allowed but not very strong Egg moves.
6. If you have 2 characters, they don't have to travel together, but please don't ignore one.
7. OOC (out of character) posts can be posted in the RPG thread although you must also have a post for the RPG as well otherwise the OOC post shall be posted in the Discussion Thread.
8. Please don't make your characters feel like a master. For example, my characters are going to have horrible losing streaks. Try and make them lose at least 1 gym/a bunch of contests. (One co ordinater will win the Jubilife Contest, 1st contest location)
9. Don't bash other character's posts. Only the mods and I can post about posts that an RPGer makes if it does not fit the standards.
10. Bunnying is only allowed if the person whose character(s) you want to bunny allows it.
11. Have fun!
Discussion Thread Rules:
1. The Discussion Thread will be used for questions, concerns, comments, etc. regarding the RPG.
2. It is also recommend that you post some ideas for posts that you'll do in the RPG like planned battles you have.
3. You are not allowed to post in the Discussion Thread if you are not a mod or an RPGer in my RPG.
4. Posts in the Discussion Thread are supposed to remain relevant to the RPG.
5. You can also post things like teams you want a gym leader to have so I can say if it is good enough or not.
About Gyms and the Sinnoh League:
The eight Sinnoh Region gyms are located in their game locations in that they are in Diamond and Pearl. Their teams can be reasonable Pokémon that are not their DPPt teams although you can't do something like Volkner having Raikou. Their amount of Pokemon should be reasonable too.
Gym battles can be multiple posts to hold suspense, but 3 posts for 1 gym battle is the maximum. Showing a rival battling a gym leader can only be a maximum of 3 posts no matter what! If you must, your character can have it be a 4th post as well but try not to make that happen too often. Of course you can do 1 or 2 posts. We won't leave a gym place until everyone has done their gym battle. You can have your rival or character beat a gym leader easily like Paul did with Maylene and Ash with Wake, but don't make it frequent and early on.
Now, with the league, there are a total of 32/64/128 (will decide when I see how many trainers and rivals people will have) entrants in the Sinnoh League which is in the same location as in DPPt, north of Sunyshore City. We'll have to agree on what place we want people to get in the Sinnoh League later. You can only have a maximum of 4 rivals each. The Elite 4 Members can appear throughout the course of Sinnoh and can battle some RPGers if they want and even appear more than once. After the Sinnoh League, we'll all regroup somewhere and the RPG will end.
About Contests and the Grand Festival:
Unlike the anime, there are 4 ribbons for each co ordinater to collect. The locations are:
Jubilife City (1st visit)
Floaroma Town (1st visit)
Hearthome City (1st visit)
Solaceon Town (1st visit)
Celestic Town (1st visit)
RPG- Only Towns (Made up although you've got to tell me the location and whatnot beforehand which should be reasonable and after Jubilife City. I don't want RPGers flying all around Sinnoh for a contest.)
Anyone can enter a contest, though they must get a contest pass and ribbon case (which are available at every contest hall, for convenience purposes). The Grand Festival will be held at Valor Lakefront. Basically, after beating TG, we are taken to Sunyshore City for the final badge and go to Valor Lakefront for the Grand Festival (there can be some contests in between) and then head to Lily of the Valley Island for the Sinnoh League. Any more contests shall get covered by then. 32/64/128 (will decide later) people enter with 16/32/64 people advancing past the appeal stage with them being rivals, RPG characters and NPCs. Each coordinator has a maximum of 4 rivals each. After the Grand Festival, we go to the league and the RPG ends.
You can use the same Pokémon throughout an entire contest. There will also be Double Performance contests, namely at the Grand Festival.
Team Galactic Appearances:
Team Galactic will be appearing quite a few times throughout the RPG. It's basically a free for all battle between us and the grunts/commanders. Here are their ONLY locations (with the Commander(s), if applicable):
Jubilife City (2nd visit) - 5 Grunts with 3 Zubats (15 Zubats in total). Looker appears afterwards and talks about Team Galactic.
Valley Windworks- Venus (Clefairy and Zubat) and Neptune (Riolu and Zubat) with 5 Grunts that have 3 Zubats each. Looker appears late.
Eterna City- A blue-haired man with a G on his shirt appears and looks at the statue of a Pokémon. (Arceus) No battling Team Galactic and the leader's name is revealed later.
Veilstone City- Earth (Plusle, Minun and Golbat) 4 Grunts with 2 Golbats each. Everyone struggles but then, Looker shows up and helps out with his Pokemon.
Lake Valor- Uranus (Bronzor, Grotle and Golbat) 3 Grunts with 3 Golbats each. They capture Azelf. Looker appears late.
Lake Verity- Venus (Clefairy, Chansey and Golbat) and Neptune (Riolu, Prinplup and Golbat) with 4 grunts that have 2 Golbats and 1 Zubat each. We all lose. Looker appears late and Mesprit is captured.
Lake Acuity- Mercury(Magmar. Monferno and Golbat) and Earth (Plusle, Minun and Golbat) 3 Grunts with 2 Golbats each and 1 Zubat each. We get creamed. Uxie getting caught and Looker appearing late.
Fuego Ironworks- Team Galactic Leader ??? (Three shady Pokémon) We (including Cynthia) see Looker lose against the leader. The Leaders gets three Red Chains and leaves. (No battling. I'll control Looker VS the Leader)
Spear Pillar- Mercury(Magmortar, Infernape and Golbat), Earth(Plusle, Minun and Golbat), Venus(Clefable, Blissey and Golbat), Neptune(Lucario, Empoleon and Golbat) and Uranus(Bronzong, Torterra and Golbat) Saturn(Alakazam, Toxicroak, Bronzong and Crobat) Looker and Cynthia battle Saturn. There are 5 commanders, so we'll organize who battles who later.
In the original, I had my characters battle the commanders and everyone else battles the grunts. I have changed that now, but if people don't mind, I could change it back. I just figured it would be more fair this way.
1. Torpoleon- Zach (Trainer) & Caroline (Co Ordinater) Accepted!

Now for my RPG Post:
Zach & Caroline were walking to Sandgem Town together and were excited to get their starting Pokémon.
Both of them were walking very close to each other and Zach even grabbed Caroline's hand.
Caroline noticed this and giggled. "Aww, you wanna hold my hand? Fine by me."
Zach blushed. "I, uh, just want to keep you safe. That's all."
Caroline smiled. "I know that's not the real reason. You love me, don't you?"
"N-no!" Zach protested, letting go of her hand. "I don't love you! You're just my best friend. That's it. Nothing more."
He started walking a little bit faster than Caroline, causing her to have to catch up to him.
"Wait up, Zach!" She caught up to him and tried to grab his hand, but he wouldn't let her. "I'm really, really sorry for what I said. I didn't know that you don't like the truth being told to you. Now may I please hold your hand?" Caroline put on a puppy dog face to make Zach say yes.
Zach sighed. "You know my weakness, Caroline. Well, alright. We can hold hands, but can we please change the subject? You're my best friend, not my girlfriend."
Caroline smiled and glady took his hand. "So, judging from your cute shirt, I'm assuming your starter will be Piplup? Interesting choice. I'm choosing Chimchar, so you'll have to go extra easy on me for a while. Think you can do that?"
Zach looked at Caroline, almost mesmorized by her beauty. "Anything for you, Caroline."
Caroline giggled. "You're the best, Zach! Now let's go get our starters!"
Zach nodded and was tempted to pick her up and hug her. The 2 eventually reached Sandgem Town and immediately saw the lab. Zach let go of Caroline's hand and they entered the lab.
OK, guys! Let's be sure to get our starters and do whatever else we need to do here! ONLY THE ACCEPTED RPGers MAY POST IN THIS THREAD!!!

Cervisia is a KDE graphical frontend for the CVS client. It features checking out a module from a repository, updating or retrieving the status of a working directory or single files, common operations like add, remove and commit, diff against the repository and between different revisions, annotated view of a file, view of the log messages in tree and list form as well as resolving of conflicts in a file.
CVS is a version control system, which allows you to keep old versions of files (usually source code), keep a log of who, when, and why changes occurred, etc., like RCS or SCCS. Unlike the simpler systems, CVS does not just operate on one file at a time or one directory at a time, but operates on hierarchical collections of directories consisting of version controlled files. CVS helps to manage releases and to control the concurrent editing of source files among multiple authors. CVS allows triggers to enable/log/control various operations and works well over a wide area network.
cvs-nserver is the almost complete rewrite of network-related CVS code featuring security-critical code in separate executables, a clean authentication layer allowing virtual repositories running under a single system account with an unlimited number of virtual users, simple authentication modules which can authenticate against /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, and PAM, and complete compatibility with existing clients.
cvs2html is a Perl program to transform the output of 'cvs log' to HTML.
