Bogside probably has the best form of those to have raced previously having run a creditable fourth behind Storm Brig here last month and the five-year-old has to be respected but it may be worth taking a chance with one of the newcomers with QUITE THE MAN making most appeal and getting the vote ahead of Breeze With Ease. James Lambe's gelding has fallen in both starts in point-to-points but makes his rules debut in what looks a poor contest and he has to be considered from a yard that does well with their runners here. Alan Parker's Reaping The Reward, a son of Sylvan Express, has to be considered on his first start, while Len Lungo's Arctic Court will need to step up on the form shown on his first start at Hexham earlier this month if he is to trouble the judge. Preference then is for Malcolm Jefferson's Quite The Man, who is bred to be useful being a son of Zagreb out of a Beneficial mare and he comes from a yard that does well with their runners in bumpers so he could easily be good enough first time out.

text: http://www.hcn.org/servlets/hcn.Article?article_id=14591 WESTERN ROUNDUP - March 1, 2004 Old-growth trees to fall in the Sierra by Cosmo Garvin The cover of the Forest Service brochure announcing the "Forests With a Future" plan for Sierra Nevada forests. US FOREST SERVICE The Forest Service ditches a collaborative forest plan in favor of getting out the cut SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA When U.S. Undersecretary of Agriculture and former timber lobbyist Mark Rey praised California's Sierra Nevada Framework as the "the best effort to date to lay out a blueprint to manage the forests of the Sierra Nevada," nobody was more pleasantly surprised than Craig Thomas. "I just thought, holy shit. It was beautiful," recalls Thomas, who, as director of the Sierra Nevada Forest Protection Campaign, had worked for years on the unprecedented agreement to balance logging, fire management and natural habitat on 11 million acres of national forest in California (HCN, 8/27/01: Restoring the Range of Light). The plan was held up as a model of public participation and collaboration involving environmental, timber and recreation groups. But it was approved in the last days of the Clinton presidency, and Thomas feared the Bush administration might try to water it down. Instead, Rey and the Forest Service not only defended the plan against a slew of appeals by timber and off-highway vehicle groups, "they were even eloquent about it," says Thomas. So eloquent that, after Rey held a press conference promising the Bush administration's commitment to the plan, Thomas was moved to proclaim, "Today the sun is shining on California's Range of Light." The sun didn't shine for long. Three days later, on New Year's Day 2002, the Forest Service's new regional forester, Jack Blackwell, quietly announced that he was beginning a major overhaul of the Framework (HCN, 5/12/03: New forest plan leaves owls in a lurch). Two years later, the Sierra Nevada Framework has never been implemented, despite the Bush administration's early promises, and the plan's widespread popularity. Instead, the Forest Service appears to have abandoned the broad public participation that marked the creation of the Framework, in favor of a slick marketing campaign that touts logging big trees as a way to combat wildfire. Big trees will topple The "Forests With a Future" proposal, unveiled by Blackwell in late January, would allow the logging of some 450 million board-feet of timber a year almost triple the amount allowed under the Framework. The new plan also abandons restrictions on cutting in 4 million acres of old-growth forest, which were set aside for protection under the 2001 plan. Forest Service officials say the rules for "Old Forest Emphasis Areas" under the Framework were too complicated to implement. "It all looked great on paper," says Matt Mathes, spokesman for the Forest Service's Pacific Southwest region. "But it wasn't a system we could make work on the ground." Supporters of the Framework say some of the plan was complicated, because forests are complicated. "(Forests With a Future) totally fails to recognize the complexity of forest composition," says Thomas. Glossy brochures sent out by the Forest Service claim that the new thinning plan will reduce catastrophic wildfire by 30 percent over the next 50 years a number that critics charge is simply made up. The Sierra Nevada Framework committed 75 percent of its budget to hazardous fuels treatment in areas near communities. Forests With a Future reduces that level to 50 percent. It allows more logging deeper in the forests, and permits the cutting of trees up to 30 inches in diameter. The Framework had limited the diameter to 20 inches in order to leave the larger, more fire-resistant trees standing. Mathes says the Forest Service raised the diameter limit to help offset the cost of fuels reduction. "It costs about $800 an acre to do thinning. We have to pay somebody to do that. But a 28- to 30-inch tree has a lot of commercial value," Mathes explains, adding that "just two (big) trees per acre" can pay for removal of the hazardous small trees and brush. But the shift away from fuels treatment near communities and toward logging bigger trees deeper in the forest is proof to critics that the plan has less to do with fire protection than it does with pumping up business for logging companies. Process of elimination The Bush administration is fond of talking about the virtues of collaboration, but the public was largely cut out of the new Sierra plan. The original Framework was the result of nearly 200 public meetings. "It was a massive undertaking. There was endless opportunity for thought and opinion. And it was a scientifically sound process," says Jay Watson of The Wilderness Society. Forests With a Future, on the other hand, has been the product of six invitation-only field trips. The process has angered not only environmental groups and their Democratic allies, such as Sens. Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein, but the Republican administration of California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger as well. Schwarzenegger had praised the Sierra Nevada Framework during his campaign last fall, promising voters: "If changes are needed to the Framework, I will ask the federal government to use the same thoughtful, inclusive process that led to its creation." That thoughtful, inclusive process just didn't happen, says Mike Chrisman, Schwarzenegger's recently appointed secretary of Resources. "It was very frustrating. There was very little direct communication with the state." Chrisman says he is close to presenting several recommendations for changes to the Forest Service proposal, though he won't reveal specifics. He will say that he's confident the state will soon "have a seat at the table" in shaping the Sierra Nevada forest plan. The deadline for administrative appeals of the plan is April 29. If the Forest Service doesn't make significant changes, Forests With a Future most likely has a future in court. California Attorney General Bill Lockyer has said he will sue the Forest Service if necessary to protect the Framework. "The original Framework was the product of years of work by every group that had a stake," says Lockyer spokesman Tom Dresslar. "Before it ever had a chance to work, the Bush administration came in and changed it." The author covers the environment for the Sacramento News and Review.

Audi is confident in the success of small models, especially since the new A1 has been a strong demand. Economic models have become increasingly attractive in the current economic context, and the first generation A2 satisfied the requirements of the modern world without problems in terms of fuel consumption. The reason behind this ability was an aluminum body and small displacement engines.
"A new A2 is being discussed internally and a number of concepts are being looked at," an insider told Autocar. "I wouldn't be surprised if it was shown first as a concept. "I'm sure that the new car will be in a similar mould of the old model: futuristic, low volume and using state-of-the-art technology. It will be an unashamedly hi-tech Audi."
Audi engineers will have the difficult task of making a model that is lighter than the first generation of A2. The original had a mass of 895 kilograms, but its 1.2 TDI 3L version was even lighter, with a mass of only 825 kg. The future Audi A2 could even weigh 800 kg, according to the source quoted by Autocar.
This model will have to meet all modern safety criteria, so Audi engineers will need to use a mix of lightweight and durable materials. Besides, the model must be economically efficient and have an affordable starting price.
The future Audi A2 could be the first model of the German brand which will use the Multimaterial Space Frame platform from Audi. This is based on MLB-Evo platform and it mixes aluminum and steel parts with carbon fiber reinforced plastic instruments.
In addition, the body will be strengthened and made with rivets, screws and special adhesives, offering an extremely low mass. The MLB-Evo platform and MSF technology will gradually replace the ASF technology. The new MLB-Evo platform might be used in the future on all models in the range, from A4 to Q7.

This chapter describes the Sun Fire Visual Grid software security measures used by the dzdaemon program.
The Sun Fire Visual Grid software uses a daemon (dzdaemon) running on each computer in the installation to set up and control the Sun Fire Visual Grid system. This dzdaemon is responsible for the following:
The dzdaemon daemon architecture has access to the system resources required by the Sun Fire Visual Grid system. The architecture includes an optional trusted hosts system to restrict which computers on a network can communicate with dzdaemon.
The Sun Fire Visual Grid software installation script prompts the user to create trusted hosts files, although this option can be declined. On the slave computers the trusted hosts file (/etc/openwin/dz/trustedhosts) is a text file that should contain the names (or IP addresses) of the Gigabit Ethernet connection to the master computer (or set of masters if the configuration is changed regularly) and localhost. The name or IP address referring to the master in the slave trustedhosts file should be the same connection over which the master sends X protocol to the slave. On the master, the trustedhosts file should simply contain the name (uname -n output) or IP address of that master and localhost.
The Sun Fire Visual Grid system uses the following port numbers for master-slave communication over TCP and UDP protocols:
These ports have been registered with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and can be referenced at:
The Sun Fire Visual Grid system can provide role-based access to users of dzadmin. This enables users other than root to modify the system setup using dzadmin.
To give a user the ability to run dzadmin:
Add the following line (all on one line) to the /etc/user_attr file:
Where username is the name of the user to whom you are granting access.

W Hotel with HUGE rooms Jun 22, 2010
Less than 10 miles from Palo Alto and about 30 miles to San Francisco sits the W Silicon Valley. There isn't much to do in the immediate vicinity unless you're on a business trip. You can take a short drive to catch the BART to San Francisco, the trip takes about 40 minutes. This is one of the smaller W's I've visited but it was nonetheless very nice. Every room is a suite, which was a very nice surprise considering I had no idea prior to checking in. The room has a sitting area with a swivel LCD TV that turns from the couch to the bed. There is a small bar area with a mini fridge and sink- perfect for in-room drinking. The bathroom was by far the largest W bathroom I've seen. The W bar had great drinks, a killer burger and the best garlic fries I've ever had. It was pretty dead until the evening hours, then the place filled with a bunch of people out looking for a good time. WET the pool was small but nice. Really comfortable lounge chairs. I did find it weird that they asked me on two separate occasions to see me room key to ensure I was a hotel guest. Never had that one happen before, let alone twice. They apologized when I questioned it the second time. Overall, friendly staff and very pleasing rooms.

Katie Price has had her share of heartache.
Yep, she's worth millions but her wealth has come at a huge cost - her happiness.
While I think she could have learned more from the cards she has been dealt in her turbulent life, I really hope that the baby Katie gave birth to yesterday will save her; give her a new lease of life.
Two months ago her life was left in tatters when she caught her husband of less than a year, Kieran Hayler, cheating on her with one of her "closest friends."
Heavily pregnant, Katie vowed that their short marriage was over, there was no going back.
But today she reveals she's giving her former stripper husband another chance. She says they're working through things slowly.
While I'm sure many are aghast, I mean why would she do that?
However, I actually applaud her. Katie knows she needs to put her children first, and do all she can to make sure they have the most content and secure upbringing possible.
Nope, you can't reheat a soufflé. And I think from my own experiences that sometimes children are better off with parents living apart.
But Katie - a very determined woman to say the least - has made her mind up. Kieran's staying.
Her youngest son Jett and the baby daughter born yesterday need their daddy.
Katie will have watched her three other children, Harvey, Junior and Princess suffer not having their parents living together.
The younger two have a good dad in Peter Andre, the less said about Harvey's father (the rancid Dwight Yorke, the better.)
And having carried her little girl for the last eight-and-a-half months, it will be her who has influenced Katie's decision the most.
Let's face it, the eldest three have had numerous men coming in and out of their short lives.
They've seen mummy devastated as her string of failed relationships chip away at her self confidence.
Kieran's misdemeanors - particularly the one with Jane Pountney - won't have helped but Katie is now doing all she can to protect her children this time.
Finally, she appears to be learning from all of those mistakes.

German power metallers BLIND GUARDIAN have set "Beyond The Red Mirror" as the title of their tenth studio album, due in Europe on January 30, 2015 and February 3, 2015 in North America via Nuclear Blast.
Four and a half years in the making, the follow-up to 2010's "At The Edge Of Time" was recorded at Twilight Hall Studio in Grefrath, Germany and produced by Charlie Bauerfeind (SAXON, HAMMERFALL, HELLOWEEN). The CD showcases BLIND GUARDIAN's collaborative work with three different classical choirs: one from the Czech Republic (Prague), one from Hungary (Budapest), and one from the United States (Boston). Two grand orchestras — each featuring 90 musicians — also lend their brilliant talents to the new recordings with absolutely spellbinding results.
Transporting listeners via a mysteriously powerful red mirror into an otherworldly dimension that includes tyrants, gods, and the Holy Grail, the ten songs comprising "Beyond The Red Mirror"'s story lines revolve around the young protagonist we first met twenty years ago in the 1995 tracks "Bright Eyes" and "And The Story Ends".
"A story between science fiction and fantasy," explains BLIND GUARDIAN vocalist and lyricist Hansi Kürsch. "The story begins with our 1995 album, 'Imaginations From The Other Side'. The two worlds described therein have changed dramatically for the worse since then. While there used to be several passages between the worlds, there is only one gate left now: The Red Mirror. It has to be found at any cost."
Asked to describe the band's guiding principles for the creation of this new release, BLIND GUARDIAN guitarist André Olbrich shares: "We want to surprise and impress with our music. Nowadays, music tends to be arbitrary and predictable. But we want to keep developing our music."
Opening with a tidal wave of surging emotion courtesy of a spine-tingling choir "Beyond The Red Mirror" unleashes its first gem, "Ninth Wave", a consciousness-expanding palette of landscapes and moods bearing the message of an urgent mission still seeking resolution. Closing with an explosion of heroic harmonies and choral glories with a nine-and-a-half minute, self-contained saga, "Grand Parade" (called "the best song we have ever written" by Olbrich), the grandiose, uplifting, and ingenious storytelling in "Beyond The Red Mirror" is guaranteed to leave you breathless.
Come 2015, you will soon experience why BLIND GUARDIAN are so influential in their genre and without equal in the pantheon of heavy metal music. Featuring artwork by longtime collaborator Felipe Machado, "Beyond The Red Mirror" will be available in the following formats:
* Jewel Case (10 songs)
* Limited Edition Digibook (11 songs)
* Double LP gatefold vinyl (11 songs)
* Earbook (12 songs plus illustrations, photos, and liner notes)
* NB-Mailorder-Earbook (12 songs plus illustrations, photos, liner notes + bonus 10″)
"Beyond The Red Mirror" is as follows:
01. Ninth Wave
02. Twilight Of The Gods
03. Prophecies
04. At The Edge Of Time
05. Ashes Of Eternity
06. Distant Memories (bonus track on limited editions + vinyl)
07. Holy Grail
08. The Throne
09. Sacred Mind
10. Miracle Machine
11. Grand Parade
Hansi calls the album's first single, "Twilight Of The Gods", "a neck breaker… the pure definition of all that the band stands for: it is innovative, melodic and brutal." The mini-CD single includes two live tracks recorded at 2011's Wacken Open Air festival in Germany and can be pre-ordered as a digi-pak or in blue or white vinyl.

In his youth, Johnny Depp embraced on a music career and sang with several rock groups before turning into acting.
Depp who is still a big fan of music, recently funded the British Babybird's studio for achieving their album.
According to British tabloid The Sun, Depp established Unison Music Company and employed many talent seekers to find new bands on the British market.
"Johnny has always been passionate about music. Obviously, he cannot get to many concerts as he would like, but has a good team with him and will support any initiative of his staff", said a source close to Depp.

There will be several permanent seasonal GS-0462-5, 6, 7 appointments that will be open to the public. This is a perfect position for a forestry grad or a longtime temporary to get his/her foot in the door. Also, this position will allow you to move up non-competetively when you meet the specs. Keep watching the OPM website at http://www.usajobs.opm.gov/a6.htm to see when it opens. I think there may also be a couple of professional Forester trainee positions coming up as well. Temporary positions will be filled from the Temp hiring system based in Boise. It is important that you put Sequoia National Forest as your preference for temporary work. "Duty Stations" are "virtual" in that you are almost always in travel status, getting "per diem" and lodging paid for. Travel status policies are 21 work days on then, home for a week. There is always plenty of overtime available, too. TEAMS is a growing "Enterprise" within Region 5's "Reinvention Lab". We do all kinds of natural resource projects, bidding on government projects and operating like a private business with no funding from Congress. TEAMS has both a Planning side and an Implementation side. This is the biggest opportunity to come along in a long time within the Forest Service. If you are highly skilled or educated in natural resources, or just have a serious desire to get your boot in the door, apply to work with TEAMS Enterprise this spring.

I discovered Mrs Meyers products and I love them. I am not much of one for product reviews or endorsements. I am also not much of one for cleaning, given half a chance… but with Mrs Meyers I am happy to clean and clean. It just makes me so joyous, I want to sing while I clean, a la Cinderella but without the animals. Genius! Who thought of putting aromatherapy together with cleaning products? [Umm… I guess Mrs Meyers did!] So simple, so perfect for me. Yumm!…

Tax Credit Consulting: Production Tax Credit
Production Tax Credit
The Production Tax Credits on renewable energy are a highly controversial energy policy credit that has been used to encourage the development of alternative energy sources.
The Production Tax credit is a credit given to companies that engage in the production and sale of electricity through the use of renewable energy technologies. It also includes provisions for the production of electricity by the use of refined coal or Indian coal. The Credit has been around for many years in different forms and has received several extensions over the years as the political climate has moved more toward renewable energy sources and less dependence on oil as an energy source.
The credit is claimed by an entity that is engaged in the actual production of electricity. The credit averages out to about 1.5 cents per kilowatt hour of power produced. The credit is claimed on Form 8835, Renewable Electricity, Refined Coal, and Indian Coal Production Credit. The total credit as determined on this form will then be entered on the appropriate line on Form 3800, Business Credits.
Form 8835 is one of those IRS forms that can cause a real headache trying to read and follow, but since the Production Tax Credit is geared toward Electricity producing companies, it can be assumed the form is attacked by some well trained professionals. The word, "qualified", is used over and over in the instructions. The restrictions and qualifications are quite detailed and have changed as the Production Tax Credit has been changed by IRS regulations and legislative changes over the years.
The controversy surrounding the Production Tax Credit as a spur to such things as the wind driven electricity industry centers on the restrictions and qualifications. Critics claim that there are other spurs to development of renewable energy that work better than tax credits to corporations. They also claim the short extensions of the credit have created a "boom and bust" mentality in many...

When it comes to movies, the food always seems to be top notch. It almost doesn't look realistic in any way and sometimes it isn't, but that doesn't stop the mind from wandering towards Guy Fieri Way when you see it, on the road to Flavortown.
That's why this supercut is the perfect representation of how myself and many others feel while watching characters eat these delicious meals on the big screen. Sure it is a little lopsided and has a flair for the overdramatic, but the food looks great.
I especially like that they included the pizza scene from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I always liked seeing the turtles eat their pizza, imagining it to be one of the most delicious you could buy. Now I look back and realize it is fake, most likely full of melted plastic, but I'm still feeling an urge for a fresh pizza. That's what it does.

Allen Parish was part of the Opelousas County after the Louisiana Territory was established in 1803. In 1807, the territory was divided into parishes and Allen was part of St. Landry Parish. Allen remained part of St. Landry Parish until 1840 when Calcasieu Parish was carved from the very large St. Landry Parish. In 1870, Cameron Parish was carved from Calcasieu Parish and also gained a piece of Vermillion Parish. Calcasieu remained the same until 1912 when it was divided into four parishes, including Allen Parish. I am establishing this line of information for those of you who may be researching ancestors. You will need to look at the Calcasieu and St. Landry Parish Archives as well as the Allen Parish Archives.
Allen Parish was named for the Confederate governor Henry Watkins Allen. He was the Confederate governor of Louisiana for one year between 1864 - 1865 during the Civil War. Allen Parish was part of the prairie country where the Attakapas Indians, also known as the Atakapa, made their home. As the European settlers began to arrive in Opelousas County when the Louisiana Territory was opened for settlement, some began to move into the Allen Parish area. The towns of Oberlin, Kinder, Reeves and Oakdale were established before Allen Parish became an official parish. Luther Hall was Governor of Louisiana in 1912 when Allen was established as a parish. He appointed five men to an interim police jury from the communities of Oberlin, Kinder, Reeves and Oakdale.
Oberlin is Allen Parish's oldest settlement, incorporated in February 1900. It's the parish's seat of government and is named for Oberlin, Ohio, home of its first settlers. Oakdale was originally known as Bay and then as Dunnsville. It later became Oakdale allegedly because a team of surveyors were ovserved large oak trees in the area. Elizabeth, founded in 1906, was named for the daughter of a man who had built a mill in the area. The town once was owned by a lumber company. In 1964, the town was incorporated by Gov. Jimmie H. Davis. Kinder takes its name from a general store that once was operated by James Kinder.
A 2013 Census Bureau estimate states that there are 25,537 people living in the parish. A drop from the 2010 population census of 25,764. In 2010 there were 8,099 households with an average of 2.66 people per household. The population density was 33.8 people/sq. mi. There were 9,834 housing units in the parish. The racial makeup of the parish was 71.8% White, 23.2% African American, 2.6% Native American, 0.7% Asian, 0.0% Pacific Islander, 1.7% Hispanic and 1.7% from two or more other races.

**See author's note added November 1997**
Principally, electronic publications, where they exist, do not fulfil the academic reward structure, and authors justifiably recognize that they still need a good publishers marque on their work. And for conventional print-based publishers there are at present few incentives to promote the transition to formats that are electronic from inception.
To examine why such a transition is achievable and why it may be desirable for academic authors, and to understand why many publishers may resist change on this scale, it is worth looking first at a model of the publishing process. This analysis suggests possible structures upon which the change to electronic publishing can be supported, and considers the prospects for Harnads subversive proposal [2] - that individual ftp archives be established by every academic author and made available free to those that wish to read them - the aim of which is to motivate the change from within the community if the change is not forthcoming outside.
Although the technological framework that would support electronic journals is operational, and continues to develop at some pace, it is the social and economic impacts that may prove more intractable. The paper points to research that will link present and future technological capabilities with new publishing structures.
A simple model of the traditional journal publishing process (Fig. 1) shows the development stages of the fundamental unit of published work, the paper. The publisher is heavily involved throughout, both directly and indirectly, through the Editor, often an academic but who is responsible to the publisher. Depending on the nature of the journal, papers may be commissioned and directed, to a greater or lesser extent, extending the publishers influence right into the authoring process. Clearly, the publisher takes complete responsibility for the collected work, the journal issue.
Fig. 1 The traditional publishing process
The advent of desk-top publishing (DTP) tools widened the scope for authors to be involved in the production of their papers, up to the point of producing almost typeset-quality copy that could be used to print directly from disc or paper if desired. DTP tools were ideal for the production of preprint conference proceedings, for example, but such publications do not carry the hallmark of an established journal. In many cases it proved difficult to integrate papers produced using different word processing or DTP formats with existing journal styles, and journal publishers preferred to stick with established procedures.
But authors growing experience of the typesetting process and consequent desire to control the appearance of their work has since been encouraged by publishers anxious to cut costs and maintain profit margins in the face of fragmenting markets, squeezed library budgets and declining sales. and it is possible to use the authors generated copy.
So the influence of the author has grown to encompass the whole production process for the paper in some cases (Fig. 2), but the publisher is still responsible for the core functions of marketing and distribution - selling the product into the market - on which any good publisher can justify its role.
Fig.2 The modern publishing process (possible) - the diminishing role of the publisher
Even in these areas, however, academics were becoming more sophisticated, creating special-interest groups, many international, in the increasingly inter-disciplinary fields that were emerging, often in the absence of immediate support from a professional institution or a recognized publication. Such groups, of course, usually initiated and created new publications with publishers, especially journals. In most cases their informal networks became the basis of publishers marketing efforts for the new journals, indicating just how important and wide-ranging the academics role has become. Academics experience with conference and course organization - including the marketing of conferences as well as the production of proceedings referred to above, and wider, more proactive promotion of university courses - should not be underestimated in this respect.
Informal networks have proved extremely effective for specialized fields, but stronger support was still necessary for publications with expanding markets as it became either infeasible or undesirable for academic groups to manage the complexity of growing publications.
From the viewpoint of scholarly journals the Internet is the ideal distribution medium. Computers used to prepare, often complex, copy are invariably linked to this worldwide network, and material can, in principle, be disseminated at the press of a button. A tool that potentially both reduces the complexity of publishing a large body of material and provides an inherent distribution mechanism has emerged. It is even possible to argue that the appearance of search tools such as on the World Wide Web, itself developed by academics, provides a pseudo-marketing function, among other functions, that will assist publishing applications. These 'Net' tools complete a scenario in which the authors--editors--readers of a scholarly publication could take complete control of the publishing process (Fig. 3 ).
Fig. 3 The publishing process for the electronic journal
The academic community - foremost, authors and readers - has to want
the change if it is to take place. On the cost issue alone, that is, the
cost of the publications, there would be little demand for change. The
publishing process is expensive, as reflected in journal prices, but it
works, it serves the academic community effectively and is firmly embedded
in the academic reward structure. The main resistance to the cost structure
is currently not from authors and readers, but from libraries.
Publishers have a number of weapons to protect their interests (Fig. 5). The most effective will be the ownership of publications with strong identities established over many years through effective management and marketing. The academic reward structure is predicated on such titles. Highly motivated scholars can transfer the interests of a given field to the new medium, but not established titles without the involvement of the publisher.
This, in turn, is the first dilemma for users of the new medium: is it simply to become an outlet for material from the weaker journals, while the best work is forced to publish in the recognized paper journals? This need not be so if the uniqueness of the new medium is exploited in the development of new titles.
The cost implications now need to be addressed. If publishers see no commercial advantage - reduced profits in absolute if not percentage terms - they will not support a new electronic publication. Harnad [4] argued that the cost of a purely electronic journal will be a fraction - he estimates 25% - of the equivalent paper journal. Given the progressive transfer of control illustrated in Figs 1-3, this may indeed be the magnitude of the reduction in costs - typesetting, paper, printing and some marketing and distribution costs all disappear from the equation, as well as a significant part of the publishing overhead. But a significant residual cost remains and must be covered. At present there is no funding mechanism that will cover it. So what funding mechanism will work in this situation, and will governments and industrial sponsors support it? Cost savings there may be, but there is already evidence that this will be a political minefield.
Fig. 6 Publishers of the electronic journal
Harnad's 'subversive' proposal is clearly the most extreme, but it is a means to an end and is not a long-term solution by itself, although it could be an important precursor to other publishing structures.
What are the requirements a new publisher of scholarly electronic journals must satisfy? It must have close links with the academic community and it must be able to establish very quickly academic recognition of its publications. It must have experience in applying the supporting technology competently and reliably - the journals must work first time - and be professional, well organized and flexible enough to accommodate continuing developments. Importantly, the organizational structure must be consistent with the lower overheads that will prevail. Universities, academic groups, special-interest groups (SIGs) and learned societies are all organizations that could support these requirements - when a funding structure is identified.
Ginspargs physics archive [1] is the preeminent demonstration that this approach works, but it remains a preprint archive and thus does not convey full academic recognition of the papers it carries, even though the popularity and scope of the archive mean that it is far more widely used than most paper physics journals [5].
This highlights the other practical problem (Fig. 5), that of establishing a peer review structure in the electronic medium [6]. In principle, establishing this process is as straightforward as building a review structure for a new journal, but it is new formats and not necessarily new fields that are being created and there will be hostility from those committed to paper publishers and difficulties for those loyal even to looser ties with existing publishers. After all, the present scholarly publishing system is inimical in that that the key people in a given field will already be linked with existing publications serving that field.
The role of the learned society is interesting. The societies' publishing arms are invariably run on a commercial basis, which potentially puts them in conflict, as explained above, with the aims of publishing scholarly journals electronically. However, the members interests at large, probably in support of electronic publications, could be a strong influence. The American Physical Society and the Association of Computing Machinery, both also major publishers, have outlined strategies for creating electronic journal databases [7], [8].
Large publishers may also want a role. Those corporations with interests particularly in the illustrated non-fiction markets are already developing expertise in electronic publications. The restructuring needed to accommodate the lower cost structures in academic publishing will not be easy, but could be achieved where publishers decide that they must build a long-term interest in electronic fields and identify those projects where there is room for the publishers traditional value adding.
Dynamic reconfiguration of publishing groups within these corporations should at least be feasible. Such companies have largely divested themselves of non-publishing interests, Reed International being a prime example, so that they can be more responsive; flexibility and focus were two key arguments for Pearsons recent dispersal of its Longman academic publishing group.
Software publishers are major producers of electronic publications, particularly in the multimedia CD-ROM form, and have spawned a number of start-up companies in this market, but few such publishers have interests in the academic journal market at present.

Show me more about:
The Norfolk Terrier has been around for over 100 years. The ancestors of this little dog may have included the Border Terrier and it's ancestors, the Cairn Terrier and a red terrier from Ireland. During the late 1800's they were popular with the students at Cambridge University, so much so that they became their mascot. This dog was originally known as he Norwich Terrier and was first recognised in the UK in 1932. However, some of these dogs had erect pointed ears and others had ears that dropped down close to the head. In 1965 the drop earred terrier was renamed the Norfolk Terrier.
The Norfolk Terrier is one of the smallest terriers around today. They have a wiry, hard, straight, weatherproof coat that requires minimal grooming and upkeep.
The Norfolk Terrier is a healthy and quite hardy breed of dog. The main concern seems to be skin related problems.
The Norfolk Terrier is an undemanding dog to feed with no special dietary requirements; they generally have a good appetite.
They are intelligent, lively and friendly little dogs that can be a bit wilful at times. They will get on well with older children and many elderly people seem to favour this breed. They should be socialised from an early age, particularly with cats, as they will chase them given half a chance. They are known to bark and dig a lot and therefore need adequate training and exercise.
Although the hard adult coat doesn't appear until the puppy becomes an adolescent, grooming should be started at an early age: this terrier can object to being restrained due to its independent streak. The coat is relatively easy to keep in good condition and will need to be hand plucked twice a year. A professional groomer or the breeder will be able to give advice on this.

Second Thoughts Game #129: Astros 1, Indians 3
Bauer shuts out 'Stros through six as Tribe clinches series win
It was a beautiful day at Progressive Field as the Columbus Clippers....I mean the Cleveland Indians....defeated the Astros 3-1 to clinch the series win. One would think the Tribe's AAA affiliate was on the field, though, with five of the nine players taking the field on Sunday having seen playing time in Columbus at some point this season.
The kids made their presence known once again as Bauer tossed a shutout over six innings while Jose Ramirez notched three hits and an RBI and Roberto Perez and Tyler Holt made key plays on defense.
Now the team heads into an off-day, which will be their last breather for basically the next month as they prepare for a stretch of 30 consecutive games, including a makeup game against the Angels on September 8th. The Tribe is now back at their season-high three games above .500 and six games out in the AL Central and five games out in the wild card race.
A Stable Staff Again
I think I can honestly say that I haven't been this comfortable with an Indians pitching staff one-through-five in a while as I am with this current starting rotation for the Indians of Corey Kluber, Trevor Bauer, Danny Salazar, Carlos Carrasco and T.J. House. Of course, ideally, you would like to see a veteran in the mix to help lead these young hurlers, but they are still proving themselves to be a capable and even formidable rotation in the league.
Bauer became the latest Indians starter to toss a gem as he shut out the Astros over six innings on Sunday with nine strikeouts against only three walks. Following Bauer's outing, Indians starters now own a combined 1.71 ERA in their last 13 games while the pitching staff as a whole has posted the third best ERA in the major leagues since the All-Star break at 2.85 entering Sunday. They also own the second best WHIP (1.09), third most strikeouts (298) and third lowest batting-average against (.224) in the majors since the break.
Following the trade of Justin Masterson and the struggles of Zach McAllister and others, things looked very bleak for the starting staff as Kluber was basically a one-man show. Well, give credit where credit is due, because Trevor Bauer and Danny Salazar, despite their own issues, have stepped up and established themselves in the rotation while T.J. House continues to prove there's a place for him in the majors and Carlos Carrasco surprising everyone with his dominant return to the rotation.
Probably the best news of all regarding these pitchers is that all are still young and years away from free agency. Of course, like I said, a veteran arm would be a nice addition, but seeing the youngsters step up like this has to be a welcome sight for Chris Antonetti and the front office staff.
So far, the Indians' strategy of addition by subtraction with the Masterson and Cabrera deals appears to be working out regarding their initial return on the trades and internal promotions to fill the vacated roles, which may save them some work this offseason as far as bringing in additional talent.
The Young and the Restless
While they are now just days away from being joined by several of their minor league teammates, Tyler Holt, Jose Ramirez and Roberto Perez have paved the way for the future and, in some ways, reminded the big leaguers how this game is supposed to be played.
Ramirez may be sad to see the Astros leave town as he capped off his big weekend with a 3-for-4 performance, including an RBI giving him seven hits in 13 at-bats during the series. This has just been the latest in a productive stretch for the rookie Tribe infielder, though, as he is batting .405 (15-for-37) in his last ten games with two doubles and five RBI. Since his latest call-up, Ramirez is batting .307 with a homer and six RBI in 24 games.
I've said as early as last season that Tyler Holt would someday become a viable fourth outfielder candidate for the Indians and he has proven me right every step of the way this season from his start at AA Akron to his promotion to Columbus and eventually his permanent call-up to the majors. So far, he has taken advantage of every opportunity given to him by Terry Francona both on offense and defense as he is now batting .400 and has already made a number of highlight-reel catches in the outfield.
Holt's emergence as a hitter this season has been the final piece of the puzzle since he already possessed the speed and defensive ability to be an impact player. Between Akron and Columbus, Holt not only batted .305, he also posted an impressive .416 OBP and 71/66 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 98 combined games. That in addition to his versatility in the outfield make him an intriguing player to potentially keep on the bench moving forward.
While Roberto Perez has not been as productive at the plate as he was when he first came up, his work behind the plate continues to impress as he and teammate Yan Gomes now provide the Indians with arguably the best defensive catching duo in the league. Perez threw out another would-be base-stealer on Sunday as he has now caught five runners in 11 attempts. And while he was hitless for the series, he did lay down three sacrifice bunts.
This sneak preview of sorts that Tribe fans have gotten over the last few weeks with these young players has certainly brightened the outlook for the future and once the calendar flips to September, we will see even more of what the farm system has to offer in Cleveland.
Up Next: Indians (66-63) vs. White Sox (59-71) @ U.S. Cellular Field. First pitch at 8:10 pm ET (Tuesday).
The Indians head into their last off-day for the next month as they hit the road again and head for the Windy City for a series with the White Sox, who have since sunk into the depths of the cellar of the division along with the Twins. A pair of southpaws will face off in the series opener as T.J. House and Jose Quintana are set to take the hill on Tuesday.
House pitched a gem against Chicago in his second career big league start back in May with six and a third innings of one-run ball. In three August starts so far, the left-hander is 1-1 with a 1.65 ERA, including six walks and 17 strikeouts in 16 and a third innings of work during that span.
Quintana, on the other hand, has had the Tribe's number throughout his career and has a 1-0 record in two starts against them this year pitching six innings in each start and allowing only three combined runs on 10 hits with four hits and 11 strikeouts.

fact there playing better baseball with Cabrera, Masterson, Axford, Swisher, Murphy, and Raburn either traded away or on the DL. Its refreshing to see the Indians play small ball with Ramirez, Holt, and Perez.
Again the next 21 games will determine there fate.
I see a Chiz- Aviles/JRam-Kipnis-Swish/Santana infield next April
Only difference from 2014 will be JRam for ACab and Perez for E.Johnson
It will be interesting what happens to McAllister next season. He's out of options, so he's in the same situation Carrasco was in this spring. He either claims the 5th SP or gets stashed to the BP. I think he becomes a trade chip this offseason, as I think the Indians prefer a LHP as the #5, which gives the steady TJ House a leg up.
As for the lineup, like Tony, I expect the Indians to give the vets another chance through April/May at least. Bourn, Swish and Murphy should be safe because of $$, barring an offseason salary dump trade. Only fair competition could be between Raburn and Holt in ST, but if it's close it will be Raburn. At this point, I also expect them to keep Aviles, although I think he's not needed anymore with JRam and Walters on the roster. Even Walters could be at AAA again, if they call all the vets. Would be one heck of lineup in Columbus: Holt, Ramsey, Lindor, Aguilar, Walters, Urshela, Moncrief, Naquin
Lindor and Ramsey should open in Columbus since they don't need to be on the 40 yet. They also have not much of a track record at the level. Urshela should already be in Cleveland, but like Aguilar, he will open in AAA again, because of money, politics and ego.
I just hope they don't trade away the youngsters who are ready for some more marginal vets. I'd prefer the other way around and hope that Aviles, Bourn, Murphy, Mcallister, Scrabble, Hagadone, Chisenhall are on the block
What is your best guess of what the infield will be next April?
"As much as we maybe wish it to happen, the Indians are not going to begin next season with urshela, Lindor and Ramirez as their starters at third, short and second. In fact, I predict none of them will start with the team as starters and only Ramirez has a chance to open the season with the team. Urshela will certainly get some consideration at some point next season....and may get a late September call this year....but he's not going to be an option to start next season. And Lindor, barring something crazy happening, should open in Columbus as well."
Walters at 3B is OK with me too. He can obviously hit for power.....can he hit for average too? Don't know. I do know that, assuming Walters / Urshela take over 3B, with Lindor at SS and JRam at 2B and Carlos at 1B, the infield defense improves subtantially.
As far as the rest of the line up goes (current) the only guy I'd love to see replaced is Chiz, and Urshela might just be too raw. Hopefully we will soon find out but, in the meantime, why can't we see Walters at third? He was pretty good there in the minors. At this point, do the Indians really believe a couple of weeks for Lonnie at DH is going to destroy his trade value? No way.
Here on the Eastside, I wouldn't let a brotha get away with that.
Let's deal some vets and play some more kids. Chisenhall showed flashes of stardom this year but at some point he has also to show boring old consistency. Kipnis is injured, but seriously, can't someone else play 2B better from the defensive standpoint and still hit?
I would like to see Urshela at 3B, Lindor and short, and Walters / JRam at 2B with Walters also playing a corner OF spot and DH. Brantley back to LF and Naquin / Holt to CF.
I agree as well with the writer.....this rotation is looking good now, and could be close to "formidable" in 2015.

Games are not necessarily "easier" today. You are just a better player.
It takes more now to impress many gamers than it did 2-5 years ago, because so much has already been seen and done.
Many players expect to be wow'd with every release of a beloved franchise.
These are generally NOT the fault of the developers, but the fault of many players over-hyping and/or setting expectations too high.

Paddy McGuiness, Jonathan Wilkes & Co On...Pantos On Strike
Editorial Staff • Blackpool, Bolton, Chester, Lancaster, Liverpool, Manchester, Oldham, Salford • 1 Nov 2010
Eric Potts
You've been in all sorts of plays- Shakespeare, farces, musicals etc. What is it that keeps drawing you back to the pantomime after 14 consecutive years?
I love it is the bottom line, I absolutely love it. Yes, it's hard work and you do two shows on the 10th January and you think "Oh, what am I still doing, Christmas has gone!', but at the end of each show you look out and see the kids and families who have had a great time and you think "Yeh, yeh that's why.'
You're in high demand to be the panto dame- what do you think makes you so popular to take on the challenging role?
It's something that I was taught very well by a great dame, Kenneth Alan Taylor, and I just soaked up everything that he could teach me. I always think that, as the dame, if I stand at the front of the theatre as the audience are going out, all the kids should want to come and give me a hug (not me, the dame!). I should be their third granny- when I'm on, they should know that everything is going to be alright!
What do you most enjoy about playing the part of the dame?
I always think for me personally it's a bit of an honour to play dame- it's a great comedic part and I just relish it. I look back at the list of people who have played the part of dame over the years- Les Dawson, Norman Evans- and I think just to be such a tiny part of that is fantastic.
You're obviously familiar with the Mancunian air after playing Diggory the baker in Corrie. What do you enjoy most about performing here?
Well apart from anything else the Opera House is such a beautiful venue. I did Aladdin here last year and had such a good time. I've come to see so many shows here over the years, and have done a lot at the Colisieum in Oldham, and there' s a real sense of ownership round here- especially if you put on a show that is relevant to Manchester. You get the same thing here that you do at Oldham, and I've tried to explain it to other actors. You get it right, you get this wall of sound and laughter that I have yet to experience anywhere else.
As this panto is not for kids, how risqué can we expect your character to be?
She's always a bit of a flirt, but this maybe takes it a bit further! She's still fun and this is the great thing about working with Paddy and Jonny on this. We're all coming at it from the same viewpoint- we want to take these characters, we want to give it an adult twist, but we in no way want to belittle pantomine. Yes, it's an adult show, and yes it does have the 18 on the poster, but it's not just rudeness, smutten, swearing for the sake of it. It follows the same rules I have when I'm writing any panto. The top of my pinboard at home in my office reads 'Adventure Story'. Every panto has to be an Adventure Story and Panto's On Strike is the same thing. It's an adventure... for adults!
You're known as a writer, director and actor, so what can we expect from you in 2011?
Im going back to work for First Family Entertainment, which is the pantomime company that I work for. I've got lots more writing to do for them next year. There is a possibility I may go out on tour as Nicely Nicely from Guys and Dolls in the Spring. Possibly, I may go back to Stafford Castle for another open air Shakespeare, which I've done for the past couple of years.
Finally, why do you think people should come and watch Pantos On Strike?
You know what, it's actually going to be such a fun night out. We're taking longer to write the script than we thought because we're spending a lot of time laughing. We've got a great song written by Robbie Williams and I have to say we have spent an absolute fortune on the set. It's going to look fantastic, we've got a five piece band, we've got one of the countries top lighting designers, a huge sound rink- it's going be very, very funny and I promise you, you are going to have a great night out!
Paddy McGuinness and Jonathan Wilkes
What inspired you to create a pantomime for the adults?
Jonathan: It's not like a panto, as in Cinderella-this is an original story based around pantomime characters.
Paddy: I watched a panto for the first time a few years ago. I was sat there, a 35 year old, in a theatre full of kids. I loved seeing how excited they got and how they believed it, and you get swept up in that. Jonny was saying about this Pantos On Strike and I loved the name and I loved the idea. You're not doing, like Jonny said, a Cinderella or a Peter Pan, but they're in it. You're not coming along seeing a panto you've seen before, just with some adult jokes in it, it's not like that.
Can you tell us a bit about the narrative and your roles within it?
Jonathan: The panto land as we know it, such as Peter Pan, Snow White and Dick Whittington, has had to go on strike because an evil King has taken over the Panto world. It's up to me and Paddy to go and save Panto world because if it doesn't get saved, kids will never see Panto again. I have to get Paddy along to help me, but really he doesn't care less about panto. It's a great and original fairytale story.
Paddy: It starts off now in the real world, in my flat. Jonny comes in and tries to persuade me to help him (I'm cutting it down for you now, obviously!), but basically 'boomph', we're in Panto Land. I start off very cynical and really don't like it, and as it goes on I eventually get a costume, and after a while I'll do a song and by the end I'm like 'slap my thigh- he's behind you!' All the characters are doing different jobs now and it is that journey of getting them back to what they should be doing, so that all the kids will be happy.
How long have you two been friends and where did you meet?
Jonathan: Last week. No, seven or eight years ago.
Paddy: Yeh, we did. You meet people in this job and you go 'oh, their nice', but you don't see them again, and we just stayed in touch because we got on really well. It just went from there. We've done a few things together since, not work as such- more things like Soccer Aid. This is the first time we have actually worked together.
I hear your friend, Robbie Williams, has written a song for the production. Who has the privilege of singing the number and (although a long shot) is there any chance at all we can expect a special guest appearance from the Take That star?
Jonathan: Not only Robbie now, Gary Barlow as well! You have to come and watch it to see who has the privilege of singing it.
Paddy: And, wink wink, they will be there on the night when we preview the song, wink wink.
Jonathan: It should be called Pantos On Strike: Wink Wink.
How are you both finding working with the rest of the cast?
Jonathon: Absolutely shocking, the lack of professionalism is astounding. No, seriously, we are all there for each other in this, we all have to trust one another. What we try to do is build a family around us and Eric was a massive part of that, because he's possibly one of the best pantomime performers there is.
Paddy: Although I've done stand up on stage and I've acted in front of a camera, I've never done anything like this. The fact that Eric, Brian and Jonny are around me, makes me feel better.
Not having the younger target audience in mind, can we still expect all the typical pantomime clichés- the 'he's behind you's' etc?
Both: Absolutely!
Paddy: This show is about the audience getting involved, so there are plenty of 'he's behind you's', 'oh no he isn't's!', but it is for grown up boys and girls. On the night, it is a chance for the audience to act like kids and have a bit of fun.
Jonathan: We want people to come along and enjoy themselves.
Finally, what 2011 plans have you both made thus far?
Paddy: My Sky Plus is heaving with stuff I've not had chance to watch! January 1st, I will be going through the back catalogue of Lost.
Jonathan: I'll be working. You start getting offers now and I'll have to weigh things up. You never know, we might go out with this again...
Brian Capron
Although you are most famous for your television role of villain Richard in Corrie, you have also become a familiar face on the stage, starring in shows such as Stepping Out and Rocky Horror. What is it about the theatre that you prefer to screen to work?
Well a question that I am often asked is, 'Do you prefer theatre or television or film?', and I always say, I love it all. I feel very fortunate to do the job I do, and it's very exciting moving from one medium to another. The advantage of theatre is that you get a good rehearsal process, which is obviously very enjoyable (you don't really get that in television or film) and you get a lot of audience, which really keeps you on your toes! There's nothing like an audience laughing or applauding, or the warm feeling that you get from them. Sometimes you even get boos, which is great as well!
Will we be seeing more screen or stage work in 2011, or a bit of both?
I've been involved a lot in the Coronation Street 50th birthday celebrations, so I'm giving my spoof cameo role of Dicky, who is a distant cousin of Richard's, in a one off DVD. It's very funny and has already been filmed. Yesterday- this is the mad life I have at the moment- I was actually recording Richard Hillman's song for the musical of Coronation Street, which was just fantastic. The music is, I have to say, very good- they have been working on it for about a year and a half and they asked me to do this song and I've got the Royal Philharmonic backing me! There's lots of other things to do with Coronation Street- there's a big documentary coming up and there is a chance I will be doing a musical, if not of Coronation Street, then of something else. As regards film and television, I've really been concentrating on doing theatre. I'm doing this and then I go straight on to be Captain Hook at the Lowry, which is a part I have always wanted to play. In a sense it's great because it's extremes of the genre! We've got Pantos On Strike, which is very rude and very sexy (I hope!) and then very traditional, family entertainment.
Having been a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing can we expect any moves from you in this production?
Well the funny thing is it did do me a lot of good, because I did fail quite miserably and it was quite humiliating, horrible and embarrassing! I've just done a tour of Stepping Out, which actually did come to the Opera House last year and very kindly somebody nominated me for the MEN awards, which was fantastic. In a sense, I had to learn to tap dance and do very fiercely difficult choreography. I figure that if I can do that, I can do anything! It's a question of remembering things, and on Strictly I was actually quite ill- I had the really horrible flu that was going round- and I just about got through the first part OK and then lost it in the dance off.
You have already starred in a traditional pantomime, playing Abanazar in Aladdin. How are you finding working in a panto written specifically for adults and how does your role fit into the piece?
Johnny Wilkes rang me up. We're great mates because we did Guys and Dolls together and we got on almost too well I think! Mad! He rang me up and said he would love for me to be in this project that he has been working on for a long time and that was close to his heart and I said, yeh go on! I'll tell you what I love- the fact Eric Potts is associated with it, because Eric knows all about a pantomime. The thing about Johnny Wilkes and Eric is that they love pantomime and their hearts are in it. I think what we'll get is some true iconic pantomime, with Paddy McGuinness destroying it all! It's a good combination and I have a lot of faith in Johnny and Eric- it will be very rude, it will be very sexy, but why not, it's something a bit different.
What is it about the part of a villain that you most enjoy?
Since playing Richard Hillman seven and a half years ago, I have been in Where the Heart Is, a rehearsed reading the RSC, Stepping Out (which was a shy character, who had trouble finishing his sentences!) and lots more different things and now I can let rip again. I love playing the villain!
How are you enjoying being back in Manchester and what do you like most about performing here at the Opera House?
I always like coming to Manchester. The first time I worked here was in 1975 and that was doing Crown Court, and then I came up here and played a social worker called Donald Worthington in Coronation Street. I've done lots of other things for Granada and I've just grown to like Manchester. Although it's a big city, it's almost like a village, and to me it is a very warm place and there's a lovely atmosphere here. It's always been a great city, but it's getting a lot better-it's got a great buzz about it, a fabulous University, and it is very important to the North of England to have Manchester as a very vibrant place. I know that when I did lots of personal appearances around the country to do with Coronation Street, you realise how important it is to the North. Everything's London centric, and that's why it's important that Corrie thrives and Manchester thrives, and it is thriving!
Finally, what do you think audiences will most enjoy about Pantos On Strike?
It's a toss up between the sexiness and the rudeness! Hopefully the audience will see us having a lot of fun and they will enjoy being a part of it.
Paddy McGuiness, Jonathan Wilkes, Eric Potts and Brian Capron were speaking to Rebecca Cohen.
Pantos On Strike runs at the Manchester Opera House from 12 - 27 November.

Characters Discussed
(Great Characters in Literature)
Vittoria Corombona
Vittoria Corombona (veet-TOH-ree-ah koh-rohm-BOH-nah), the brilliant and beautiful wife of an elderly Florentine official. She becomes the mistress and later the bride of Paulo Giordano Ursini, the duke of Brachiano. She is a woman of tremendous courage and willpower and makes an eloquent and impassioned defense of her honor against the malicious but essentially just accusations of Duke Francisco de Medicis and Cardinal Monticelso. She dies with the same intensity with which she lived, refusing to weep but recognizing in her last moments the depths to which her career has brought her: "My soul, like to a ship in a black storm, is driven, I know not whither."
Flamineo (flah-MEE-nee-oh), her brother, an ironic commentator on his own life and the society in which he moves. He strives for worldly success without scruple, playing pander for his sister, murdering her husband to win favor with his master, Duke Brachiano, and finally killing his own brother in a hasty quarrel. There are in him, however, lingering traces of humanity that make him compassionate at the sight of his mother beside the body of Marcello. He remains an opportunist to the end and dies with an ironic jest on his lips.
The duke of Brachiano
The duke of Brachiano (brah-KEE-ah-noh), Vittoria's lover, whose desire for her outweighs every moral consideration. He brutally repudiates his duchess and has both her and Vittoria's husband murdered to make himself free to marry his glamorous mistress. His crimes haunt him in the form of apparitions as he lies dying from Lodovico's poison.

Twitter Hackings Causing Quite A Stir
This Monday the world looked on as Burger King's Twitter account all of a sudden looked a lot like their biggest competitor's.
Yes, someone had managed to hack into Burger King's Twitter account. The perpetrator took over Burger King's account for a few hours and started putting out some strange tweets before Twitter temporarily suspended the account so no one could see it anymore. But that didn't stop people from talking about what had just happened.
We used MAP, our social media monitoring and analytics software, to take a look at what happened and what people were saying about it.
On Monday alone, mostly because of the hacking, we counted almost 481,000 mentions of Burger King. There were 1,842 blog posts, 2,783 online news articles, 2,112 forum postings and 474,215 tweets.
That's a pretty considerable number as it was almost half of the mentions of them we found in the past seven days.
When we trended those numbers out over time, we can see that Burger King was getting a pretty decent amount of daily mentions anyways, but the day of the account hack it went through the roof. We can see the residual is still going on as people are still talking about this.
The social media community was all over this. We've all seen a few rogue tweets slip through on brands' Twitter accounts before, but it's not every day that a large world-wide company gets their account completely taken over. Below is a heat map of where people were Tweeting about Burger King from around the world.
While looking through what people were saying about this we found that the most retweeted tweets about Burger King in the past few days were those from the hacked account. You'll notice that most of them appear below as though they came from McDonalds as that was what the hacker changed Burger King's name and Twitter avatar to, so that's how we found them in our records as. The one tweet that says "We empathize with our Burger King counterparts" is actually from the real McDonald's account as they were offering an olive branch to their main competitor.
When we looked at the overall talk across channels in a buzzgraph we can see that the hacking dominated the talk of Burger King over the past week. However, if you look closely we can also see that Jeep comes up in the conversation as well, because Burger King was not the only one to have this happen to them.
The day after Burger King regained control of their account, the exact same thing happened to Jeep. What appears to be the same hacker went into Jeep's account and changed it to talk about Cadillacs instead. The tweets it sent out were of the same nature of those that came from the Burger King account the day before, and once again people jumped all over it and started watching and telling others about it. On Tuesday Jeep was mentioned 68,000 times.
While it may not have been as many as we saw the day before for Burger King, it was still a pretty big jump for mentions of Jeep.
Luckily, both brands have regained control of their Twitter accounts and everything has gone back to normal. The two were even able to joke with one another about the situation.
It's actually a very scary thing to think that this could happen to you or your brands' accounts. As a community manager myself I know that it got me a little nervous to think it could happen to me. The Tumblr blog What Should We Call Social Media actually did a pretty good job at showing how most community and social media managers felt about the situation.
What do you think about what happened? What would you do if this happened to you? Tell us in the comments.

View the Nationwide Children's Hospital Annual Report.
The Department of Orthopaedics at Nationwide Children's Hospital provides diagnosis, evaluation and treatment for all orthopedic conditions and disorders in infants, children and adolescents. Inpatient, outpatient and emergency services are provided to patients with a wide range of developmental, congenital, neuromuscular and posttraumatic problems of the musculoskeletal system, trauma and fractures, scoliosis and other spinal abnormalities.
The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery faculty participates in the education of health care professionals at several levels. Residents, medical students and nurses from The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, Ohio Health, and Mount Carmel Health System receive all of their pediatric orthopedic experience at Nationwide Children's. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-accredited fellowship program rounds out the extensive educational program.
Surgical and nonsurgical expertise includes:
Clinical research initiatives within several areas have grown over the past year. Highlights include the unique description of a previously unrecognized finding in adolescent traumatic hip dislocations. Now published, the so-called acetabular fleck sign describes a posterior osteochondral, labral avulsion that is addressed surgically via a surgical hip dislocation approach. Early results from such treatment have shown promise that recognition of this injury could lead to better outcomes.
Collaborative efforts within clinical care also continue to grow. Matthew Beran, MD, has taken the lead surgical role within a multidisciplinary approach for care of the patient with hemophilia. Advanced arthroscopic techniques have allowed a more complete treatment and synovectomy for hemophilic arthropathy of the elbow, knee and ankle.
Daniel Ruggles, DO, director of the Limb Deformity Service, now serves as orthopedic liaison to a growing rickets clinic and a multidisciplinary clinic for osteogenesis imperfecta. The volume of limb deformity surgeries has increased significantly, highlighted by newer and novel techniques of limb lengthening utilizing magnetic intramedullary rods.
Educational initiatives remain strong as our ACGMEaccredited program trains approximately 50 rotating residents and fellows per academic year. The educational program includes a daily trauma conference, a weekly reading and X-ray conference, a pre-op indications conference, a surgical milestones conference, morbidity and mortality, current literature, research meetings and a monthly fellows conference. Also, the department once again teamed with the Division of Sports Medicine to hold the third annual Sports Medicine and Orthopaedics Conference at Nationwide Children's. Over 200 participants, including pediatricians, physical therapists, athletic trainers and general orthopedists from Ohio and nearby states attended this full-day conference that offered sessions on a wide variety of sports and orthopedic topics.
