One of my favorite stops on the dog show circuit every year is this month's Kentuckiana Cluster in Louisville KY. The four-show cluster hosted by the Mid-Kentucky Kennel Club, the Louisville Kennel Club and the Evansville Kennel Club is consistently among the largest weekends all year. Let's take a look at the numbers for this year's cluster.
The first thing you notice is the numbers are down substantially. Last year's cluster drew 12,722 entries in the regular classes. This year comes in at 10,522, a drop of 17 percent. This continues a trend we have seen for the past several months. While the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship and the Westminster Kennel Club show entries were up, they got a boost by adding class dogs to the previously titled-dogs-only entries. However, Palm Springs, Portland and the Florida Marathon were all down. I will leave to a future post a discussion on what's impacting our entries.
Back to the Kentuckiana Cluster. The above pie chart shows a remarkably equal distribution of entries. Surprisingly, the Hounds lead all entries with 17 percent of the total entry. That's up from 13.6 percent last year. The Sporting and Herding Groups hold steady at 15 percent, but the Working Dogs dropped dramatically from 21 percent of the entry to 15 percent. Terriers and Toys are also unchanged at 13 percent apiece, but the Non-Sporting Group has improved its share from 8 to 11 percent.
This egalitarian entry assures every fancier a good opportunity to see a representative of their favorite breed. One of the reasons I make a trek to Louisville every year is that I get to see dogs I rarely see at my local shows. Among the giant Hound entry at Saturday's Evansville Kennel Club show will be 40 Ibizan Hounds, 37 Scottish Deerhounds and 24 Otterhounds. The last time I saw that many Otterhounds in one place was last year's Ketuckiana Cluster. Thanks to this year's Westminster Kennel Club show, everyone is now familiar with the Affenpinscher, but most people outside the sport have never seen a Brussels Griffon. There are 54 entered this year on Saturday. There will be the usual big entries in Golden Retrievers (96) and Labrador Retrievers (52), but there will also be 10 Spinoni Italiani.
In the Working Group, I will drop in on my childhood breed, the Saint Bernard to watch 15 of the lovable giants and stop by the Standard Schnauzer ring to see 19 representatives of one of this year's most competitive breeds. Although the lamb-like Bedlington Terrier is one of the most recognized of AKC breeds, most of the public have never seen one in the flesh. There will be 55 at the American Bedlington Terrier Club of America's national specialty on Saturday. In the Non-Sporting Group, I recommend you stop to see the 12 Lowchen, a charming breed that for some reason has not caught on with the public. Remember, pet owners are not required to give them the funny haircut. Finally, we don't often see Belgian Tervuren outside the Pacific Northwest, but the breed leads the Herding Group with 73 entries.
In addition to the dogs, the Ketuckiana Cluster has other charms. From an exhibitor's and spectator's perspective, the Kentucky Exposition Center is one of the most accessible and comfortable venues in dogs. Grooming setups are within steps of parking, there's plenty of seating, and there are wonderful collections of vendors. My wife, Brenda, still talks about the shoe shopping at a dog show in Louisville.
Brenda and I will be in Louisville for all four shows, March 14-16. We hope to see you there. And that's today's Back Story.

Ultrabooks will grow three times faster than tablets
by Nick Farrell on26 January 2012
- font size decrease font size increase font size
Shipments to reach 178 million by 2016
Ultrabooks will grow at three times the rate of tablets over the next five years, according to Juniper Research.
The outfit predicts that shipments expected to reach 178 million by 2016 with the largest markets for Ultrabooks to be North America and Western Europe, where consumers are in general more affluent. The rest of the world will continue to buy notebooks, particularly in the Asia Pacific region by 2016.
Juniper analyst Daniel Ashdown said that ultrabooks were enabling the industry to respond to Apple's Macbook Air, which retains a niche segment of the market due to its consistently high price. However, Ashdown warns that Ultrabooks will not achieve mass market success until Intel works out how to bring down costs.

Len Monheit to Offer Insights into U.S. Consumer Attitudes and Behaviors of Natural Products at the New Hope Natural Media Quickstart International Market Education Program
Presentations to take place December 4th and December 9th, 2013 in Japan
Dec 02, 2013, 09:00 ET from Penton
BOULDER, Colo., Dec. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- New Hope Natural Media, a division of Penton, today announced that Len Monheit, Executive Director of Strategic Development will present the New Hope Natural Media's Market Innovation Consumer Segmentation, a new study that helps brands and retailers identify and target consumers most likely to be early adopters of natural products for the first time to Japanese companies at the Quickstart International Market Education program on December 4th, 2013 in Tokyo and December 9th, 2013 in Fukuoka, Japan. The educational program is designed to address the unique aspects of the North American natural products market such as consumer behavior, culture and sales channels, market trends, regulations, distribution options, media and general business development principles.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131202/CL24259LOGO)
"We are continuously looking to enhance the content of the Quickstart International Market Education to provide attendees with information they can immediately leverage to succeed in their business efforts in North America," said Monheit. "Incorporating our new consumer segmentation research into the curriculum allows us to provide real insights into the U.S. consumer's mindset and purchasing behaviors."
New Hope Natural Media's Market Innovation Consumer Segmentation delved deeply into consumers' attitudes, beliefs and behaviors around health and wellness and the results are a detailed segmentation of five key consumer groups that were identified. The presentation will discuss these groups and speak to the details of their category, product and ingredient preferences, as well as their shopping and adoption behaviors. The study evaluated over 5,000 consumers -- representing over 90 percent of the U.S. population -- based on their feelings, opinions, habits and usage of health, nutrition, lifestyle and healthy products, as well as their affinity for new product concepts representing over 50 percent of a typical grocery/retail store basket. The report helps companies to more effectively target interested, passionate consumers with new products and provide them with concepts and marketing strategies to optimize product success.
Monheit is a recognized natural products industry thought leader and an expert in analyzing business issues and behaviors in dietary supplements, nutraceuticals and functional foods and beverages in the USA, Canada, and Asia. He founded NPIcenter as the natural products industry's first online media in 1999 (selling it to New Hope Natural Media in 2006) and has been actively engaged in business strategy and product optimization on a global basis for over thirteen years. Monheit has also pioneered educational programs to promote industry best practices, is a regular contributor to trade publications and industry events, and presents about industry issues, concerns and trends and the evolving business processes in the natural and nutritional products sector.

Ontario's 24 colleges are warning that the Ontario Public Service Employees Union could trigger a strike by 10,000 college faculty as early as next month.
The colleges say a strike could start as early as Sept. 15 if the union goes ahead with its Sept. 10 strike vote and a majority of faculty vote in favour of giving the union a strike mandate.
The colleges say a strike would disrupt the start of the school year for hundreds of thousands of students across the province.
Colleges' spokeswoman Sonia Del Missier says OPSEU won't accept a two-year wage freeze that preserves maximum salaries and asks for no concessions.
The collective agreement with the union expires at the end of this month and the union has said it hoped the strike vote would prompt the colleges to "start negotiating more seriously."
Discussions also include issues such as academic freedom, the treatment of partial-load faculty, increased workload from online courses and other staffing requirements.
"Faculty have to consider carefully the impact if they vote to strike," Del Missier said.
"A strike mandate will give the union the ability to trigger a province-wide strike with just five days' notice."
OPSEU president Smokey Thomas says the union isn't surprised, noting the colleges could lock out staff as early as Sept. 15.
"The Colleges have ignored faculty demands, asked for major concessions, and demanded a wage freeze," Thomas said.
"Their delays and refusal to budge on key issues have demonstrated ill-will from the start of negotiations."

The security hole here is a race condition where find can be manipulated into handing a filename to rm which refers to a different file by the time rm runs (by using deeply nested directories and symlinks). The boot script isn't a security hole because it runs at a time when there isn't anyone logged into the system to exploit such a race condition. -- | The idea that an arbitrary naive human should be Scott K.

I can even subscribe to that list, in order to guide the involved people. The only requirement is that you don't speak Vietnamese to me (French is OK, obviously...but I know that French is somehow vanishing in Vietnam now)..:-) In short, let's go and make this happen!

This paper proposes a Virtual Reality Distributed environment to the visualization of realisticmorphologically neural network simulation, including the growth neural, that is, the simulation of thedevelopment and the death (apoptosis) of neural cells. The user will be able to interact with theenvironment by using virtual reality devices that allow its complete navigation in the environment,including the three-dimensional visualization of the scene using stereoscopic vision. It is also proposed an investigation about critical performance factors of a virtual environment where it is predominated the three-dimensional representation of ramified fractionary structures, not only neurons.

I've been smoking Marijuana for a while as meditation and ways to have fun or enjoy life more. Its also really helpful for my depression.
I think because its a herb it shouldn't be bad to smoke during relaxing rituals to calm the body and mind.
But I'm curious to see what my fellow Witches think about this.
I'd like to ask that no one would try to talk me out of smoking, no offense but I know I'll be smoking for a while.
So what is everyone thoughts on Marijuana and smoking it for spiritual use.
(I'm not promoting the use of "drugs" what so ever. I'm simply just curious)

Manchester-born Menelik Watson was selected by the Oakland Raiders in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft.
Watson, who overcame an impoverished childhood in Longsight before heading stateside via the Canary Islands, was expected by many to be taken in the first round at New York's Radio City Music Hall.
That did not happen, although the offensive tackle did not have to wait long to hear his name called this evening; he was chosen with the 42nd overall pick.
Watson, from Florida State University, joins a team that finished with a 4-12 record last season and are widely tipped to struggle again this year.
For many, not being grabbed on day one when predicted is a disappointment, but that will not be the case with Watson.
Longsight lad set to hit big time in the NFL
Speaking prior to learning his fate, he said: "I am not interested (in where I am drafted).
"Wherever I end up, I'll be happy. Being talked about as a first-rounder is not a concern of mine. It's all about going to the team and doing a job.
"The NFL is a totally new animal and a totally different level. Once I get somewhere, I have still got to do a job."
While it took longer than expected for Watson's name to come off the board, an early second-round berth is still a considerable achievement for someone who did not know the sport's rules two years ago.
Watson will now set his sights on impressing when training camp starts this summer, with a view to earning a starting place.Longsight

It does not seem that long since we entered the twenty-first century, yet we are already into its second decade. Time is speeding by and we are often oblivious to its rate. We are accustomed to persons breaking speed records, but very few take note that time itself is the fastest commodity of all. We only have each second of time for a second, we only have each minute for a minute, and then each is gone.
How many minutes did we have in 2010? About 525, 600. We may have slept for 170,000 of them, which leaves about 350,000 minutes that passed through our hands in 2010.
What can we do in a minute from a spiritual point-of-view? Imagine that each of us offered a prayer during each of these minutes, which means we would have prayed 350,000 prayers in 2010. We can pray when we are doing other things, so the suggested figure is not that unrealistic, especially when at other times we can offer more than one prayer per minute. Hopefully we did pray a large number of prayers throughout the year. These minutes have gone for ever, but we have the whole future in which many of them can be answered.
Another activity that we could have done in each minute was to think about Jesus, even if what we were doing was thanking him for saving us. Imagine thinking about Jesus 350,000 times in 2010. I'm sure most husbands think about their wives each minute, and vice versa, or at least every five minutes! Even if we extend the timeframe to five minutes, we would have thought about Jesus 75,000 times in 2010.
The point of this unusual exercise in arithmetic is to encourage you that time may not have been as wasted as you think. You may have offered up many more prayers in 2010 than you realise and you may have thought about Jesus far more often than you can remember. Such minutes may have passed for ever, but their effects will last for ever. God rewards those who pray to him and who think about Jesus. Hopefully we will do the same in 2011.

J. Fred Smith, superintendent of the Union Mills, Incorporated, of Herkimer, New York, was born in Schenectady, New York, on August 31, 1882, the son of Isaac Eugene and Elizabeth (Kingsbury) Smith. Isaac E. Smith was born in the town of Minden, New York, on July 21, 1841, and died at St. Johnsville, New York, on April 18, 1917. At one time he was associated with the Wagner Palace Car Company and at another time conducted an air dried strawboard factory at Palatine Church, New York. From 1894 to 1900 he was clerk of Montgomery county, New York. He was a captain in the Civil war. His parents were Samuel and Sarah (Cox) Smith. Samuel Smith, a farmer, was born at St. Johnsville in 1803 and died there in 1882. His wife was also born at St. Johnsville, in 1817, and died there in 1894. She was a direct descendant of Colonel Ebenezer Cox who served under General Herkimer and was killed at the battle of Oriskany. Colonel Cox's wife was Elizabeth, daughter of George Klock, one of the pioneers of the Klock family in the Mohawk valley. Elizabeth (Kingsbury) Smith, mother of J. Fred Smith, was born in St. Johnsville in 1846, and died there on April 6, 1886. She was the daughter of William and Charlotte (Armitage) Kingsbury. William Kingsbury was born in 1823 and died at St. Johnsville in 1862. He was the proprietor of "The Eating House", as it was called in those days, and it was said to be the only one between Albany and Utica. At the time Lincoln's funeral train passed through St. Johnsville this place furnished the meal for the entire train, and the young ladies of the town turned out, dressed in white, for the occasion. Charlotte (Armitage) Kingsbury was born in England and died at St. Johnsville in 1893.
J. Fred Smith was graduated at the St. Johnsville high school, class of 1899, and at Worcester Academy, in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1901. In 1905 he graduated from Harvard University with the degree of B. S., after which he studied law at Harvard Law School for a year. The fall of 1906 found him in the state engineering office in Albany and in the spring of 1907 he formed a partnership with F. S. Mosher of St. Johnsville for the retail coal business, the firm name being F. S. Mosher & Company. In February, 1911, Mr. Smith came to Herkimer and became associated as assistant superintendent and in February, 1915, became superintendent, which position he now holds.
On July 20, 1915, at Souderton, Pennsylvania, Mr. Smith was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Klees, who was born on May 5, 1884, her parents being James and Elizabeth (Spang) Klees. James Klees, now a retired wagonmaker, was born in 1852 and is now living in Fleetwood, Pennsylvania. His wife was born in 1856 and died at Lebanon, Pennsylvania, in 1903. Mrs. Smith is a member of the Reformed church and General Herkimer Council, Daughters of the American Revolution. Mr. and Mrs. Smith have two children: Elizabeth Klees Smith was born on September 4, 1916; and William Kingsbury Smith was born on June 2, 1922.
During the World war Mr. Smith was a member of the home defense and took an active interest in the Liberty Loan drives. In March, 1924, he was elected president of the village of Herkimer and is still serving. From 1910 to 1911 he was town clerk of the town of St. Johnsville. He is treasurer of the Herkimer County Y. M. C. A., and a member of St. Johnsville Lodge, F. & A. M., and pastmaster. He is also a member of Hiram Union Chapter, No. 53, of Canajoharie; Little Falls Commandery Knights Templars, No. 26; Ziyara Temple of Utica, and the Sons of the American Revolution. Mr. Smith is a member of the Exchange Club and an ex-president, and also ex-president of the Chamber of Commerce of Herkimer. His church associations are with the Reformed church of Herkimer, where he is a deacon. In politics he is a republican. For diversion he is fond of all out-of-doors sports and the woods.

Iran nuclear deadline extended
Iran and world powers have reached a deal to extend their deadline of Sunday to strike a nuclear accord, easing fears Tehran will get the bomb, diplomats say.
"Negotiations on the extension of the Geneva [interim] deal have been successful. The details of the agreement will be announced soon," an Iranian source said.
A diplomat from one of the world powers confirmed the agreement, saying the parties have given themselves until November 24 to strike what would be a historic deal. "It's until November 24," the diplomat said.
More details of the agreement were expected in a news conference later on Friday in Vienna.
Iran and the six powers have been negotiating almost constantly for months, trying to forge an accord by July 20, when an interim deal agreed in Geneva in November expires.
After a decade of rising tensions, the mooted accord between Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany is aimed at easing concerns Iran might develop nuclear weapons and silencing talk of war.
Iran denies seeking the atomic bomb and wants the lifting of crippling sanctions.
The six powers want Iran to dramatically reduce in scope its nuclear program for a lengthy period and agree to more intrusive UN inspections. This would greatly expand the time needed for the Islamic republic to develop a nuclear weapon, should it choose to do so, while giving the world ample warning of any such "breakout" push.
Washington and Iran earlier this week laid the groundwork for pushing back the deadline after US Secretary of State John Kerry held two days of talks with his Iranian counterpart that failed to produce a breakthrough.
"It's clear that we've made real progress in several areas and that we have a credible way forward, but as we approach a deadline under the interim deal, there are still significant gaps between the international community and Iran and we have more work to do," US President Barack Obama told reporters on Wednesday.
The two sides are believed to have narrowed their positions in recent weeks on a few issues such as the Arak reactor, which could give Iran weapons-grade plutonium, and enhanced inspections. But they remain far apart on the key issue of Iran's capacities to enrich uranium, a process that can produce fuel for reactors but also the core of a nuclear bomb.
The six powers want Iran to reduce dramatically the scope of its enrichment program, while Tehran wants to expand it.

Slatington Council considers hiring a new borough manager
Slatington may soon get a new borough manager, according to council members at Monday's borough council meeting.
After an executive session that lasted until 9:45 p.m., the council reconvened and stated it had discussed legal, real estate, Slatington Borough Authority agreement, and personnel matters during the session.
When they brought up the topic of possibly hiring a new borough manager, President Daniel Stevens, who said he may be interested in the position, immediately dismissed himself from the meeting room before further discussion ensued.
"We ought to seriously consider putting (money for a borough manager) in the budget," said Councilman David Schnaars. "There's so much stuff dropping through the cracks right now."
"It will take a load off council people," agreed Vice President Bryon Reed.
Slatington has been without a borough manager since its last one, Steve Salvesen, stepped down in September of 2010. In the two-and-a-half years before Salvesen leaving, the borough had lost two previous managers, including firing one in May of 2009.
At the very beginning of the evening, three of the more than one dozen visitors present spoke, including resident Carol Gildner, who had a detailed list of questions involving borough grants.
Under Public Safety, Councilman Jon Rinker said that Fire Chief Keith Weaver had managed to obtain a 60,000KW generator for free from army surplus.
It could save the borough a projected $18,000 to $20,000 over the cost of a new one; however, it would need to be checked by Defrain Electric to make certain it would suffice, he said.
If not, it should still be kept in case of emergency, Rinker said. The council voted unanimously to accept the new generator.
Afterward, Rinker and Police Chief David Rachman again addressed the issue of the police department needing new guns, including both handguns and patrol rifles.
The council also approved a motion to approve and proclaim Fair Haven, Vermont, as the borough's sister city for 2014.
Immediately after announcing the council would convene for an executive session, former Councilwoman Kris Burek yelled from the back of the audience "Executive session objection!"
Burek cited the Sunshine Act and said that council needed to identify for the public beforehand the reason, or reasons, it was calling an executive session. She said council had not done so.
Both Stevens and Borough Solicitor Ed Healy noted that the council is allowed to make that announcement either before or after the executive session.

Saffina Desforges
Just how much achieving a high ranking in the amazon 100 bestseller list - and staying there - is essential for publishing success is revealed in the recent events surrounding 'Sugar and Spice', by the writing duo Saffina Desforges. Having sold over 100,000 copies in the UK and riding high (No. 2) in the bestseller list, a series of technical difficulties changed all that, as reported by one half of the writing team, Mark Williams. The sequence of events went like this:
1) Last summer Amazon removed the subtitle without notice and placed the book in publishing mode for three days. Sales dropped and the book fell out of the top twenty. (David Gaughran raises the possibility that this could be connected with the fact that the book is simultaneously published in both UK and US English versions with different subtitles and, with both available in the UK, Amazon could have been reacting to this.) The book recovered to No. 2, only for the removal of the subtitle to occur again, followed by a period in publishing mode and this time the book did not fully recover its former position,
2) In October, a technical glitch removed all the reviews at amazon from many ebooks, including those for 'Sugar and Spice'. The result was a further drop in sales and position in the Top 100,
3) The book then vanished completely from amazon UK for over two weeks, despite urgent appeals from the authors.
The book is now back up on amazon UK but its sales position (at the time of writing) is No. 692 and has been at this level for some days. Amazon has told the authors that it will not offer compensation for the lost sales. (This parallels the experience of author James Crawford whose book was reduced to $0 without notice after he'd made an extract free on Nook, see Indie Book News Review - November).
It will be interesting to see if 'Sugar and Spice' recovers its position.
One of the consequences of these events (none of which has resulted from intentional acts by Amazon which, as nearly all writers recognise, is an overwhelmingly progressive influence in allowing authors to gain an audience) is that writers achieving success in ebook sales may not be as secure in their career as they might suppose, making planning for the future (like, for example, becoming a full time writer if they are currently part time) quite difficult.
Conversely, this also shows just how important it is for any writer publishing on amazon to break into the Top 100 overall sales rankings if a self sustaining high level of sales is to be achieved.
BBC Radio interview with Lexi Revellian
Author Lexi Revellian gave a very clear account to BBC Radio 4's 'You And Yours' of how self publishing with amazon KDP had allowed her successful writing career to get started when traditional publishers had been unapproachable.
You can hear the interview here. (The relevant segment starts after approx 16.04 mins).
Penguin US self publishing deal mystifies authors
As reported by The Guardian, Penguin US has moved into self publishing. Based around its 'Book Country' site (where would-be writers publicly display their work in progress – why would you want to do that!), the prestigious imprint offers to epublish your book for a fee ranging from $99 - $549, depending on the options chosen.
But commentators like J A Konrath, coming out of blog hiatus specifically over this, are not impressed. He points out that while there is nothing on offer via Book Country that you can't do yourself for free, Book Country will keep 30% of any royalties earned (or example 30% of the 70% royalty that an author might earn from amazon). The author loses the right to manage their own affairs at amazon and elsewhere. And, to cap it all, the famous Penguin logo will not be associated with the book. Most experienced authors are mystified as to why anyone would want to take up such an offer.
Kindle Owners' Lending Library (KDP Select)
After a lot of thought I've enrolled my thriller 'Take No More' in the Kindle Owners' Lending Library via KDP Select. This operates in the US only (for now) and is available only for amazon Prime members. (They pay a subscription - $79 - for a number of favours - early free parcel delivery, free streaming video and, now, a free loan of one Kindle book per month). Why the thought? Well, the catch is that amazon demands exclusivity. The book must not be available in any other channel. As expected, this has sparked off a wide ranging debate amongst authors about this leading to amazon becoming overdominant in the market.
However, on balance, I decided to go with this (one main reason being the fact that I'd only ever published the book with amazon). You can view the book as a free loan on Prime here.
But there are wider consequences, summed up very well by David Gaughran in the post How Much Do You Want To Get Paid Tomorrow?.
What is at stake is the possibility of a wholesale change in the way that authors gain royalties for their work. On the current model, there is a generous payment of up to 70% of the sale price going directly to the author. Under KDP Select, there is no such payment. Instead, based on the number of loans made of each book, there is a share of an agreed pot. This looks large ($500,000 for December and $2 million or 2012) but if a very large number of loans are made, the revenue paid any one author for the loans made on their books may be much smaller than would have been achieved with a straight royalty system. Some estimates claim that there may be as many as 10 milllion Prime members. In the limit, if each borrows a book in December, the royalty per book would be as low as 5c, compared with a likely average of over $1 now!
I'm reminded that in the UK amazon has recently acquired Lovefilm where DVDs and computer games are available on a monthly subscription of up to £15, depending on the number of discs that can be held at any given time. It must be straightforward for amazon to see how the land lies with DVDs. How many customers wish to buy and own and how many wish to borrow for a subscription charge. My guess is that many prefer the subscription model. After all, how many times do you want to watch a movie. Enough to own it? Significantly, Lovefilm (like amazon Prime in the US) also offers streaming video. That's essentially the same as downloading a book to Kindle. So will readers, given the option, prefer a subscription model. If they do, it will change completely the current financial relationship between authors and amazon. Heady stuff and certainly a case of 'watch this space'.
Amazon – a step too far?
amazon price check app
The general feeling of caution over the exclusivity issue and the posibiliy of amazon coming to unduly dominate the market was not helped by Richard Russo's piece Amazon's Jungle Logic in the The Opinion Pages of the New York Times.
'I FIRST heard of Amazon's new "promotion" from my bookseller daughter, Emily, in an e-mail with the subject line "Can You Hear Me Screaming in Brooklyn?" According to a link Emily supplied, Amazon was encouraging customers to go into brick-and-mortar bookstores on Saturday, and use its price-check app (which allows shoppers in physical stores to see, by scanning a bar code, if they can get a better price online) to earn a 5 percent credit on Amazon purchases (up to $5 per item, and up to three items). Books, interestingly enough, were excluded, but you could use your Amazon credit online to buy other things that bookstores sell these days, like music and DVDs.'
This really does seem to hit brick and mortar stores beneath the belt.
OK, So where's the balance?
Despite all this heavy weather surrounding amazon, it's worth recalling just how great the opportunity is that the company has handed to independent authors, freeing them from the restrictive practices of the traditional publishing industry. Two recent stories illustrate this:
1. Indie Author sells 400,000 copies of book that mainstream publishers rejected
Darcy Chan
The Wall Street Journal reported on the success of Darcy Chan's novel, 'The Mill River Recluse", which has now notched up 400,000 ebook sales after a five year period of being rejected by the mainstream publishing industry.
"Nobody was willing to take a chance," says Ms. Chan, a 37-year-old lawyer who drafts environmental legislation for the U.S. Senate. "It was too much of a publishing risk." ......The novel took her 2½ years to write. After seeking feedback from family and friends, she sent queries to more than 100 literary agents. Most rejected it as a tough sell. "It didn't really fit any genre," Ms. Chan says. "It has elements of romance, suspense, mystery, but it falls into the catch-all category of literary fiction, and of course that's the most difficult to sell." She finally landed an agent, Laurie Liss at Sterling Lord Literistic in New York,....... Ms. Liss submitted the manuscript to a dozen publishers, all of whom turned it down. Ms. Chan stashed the manuscript in a drawer, and buried herself in her legislative work. Five years passed. Then, this past spring, she started reading about the rise of e-book sales and authors who had successfully self published, and decided to give it a shot.'
And the rest, as they say, is history.
It's worth recalling just how often mainstream publishing responds in this way. And to point out that, before self publishing on Kindle and the other platforms, there just wasn't any other alternative. And the clincher, Darcy Chan hasn't been able to find a better deal from a mainstream publisher despite having so much success!
2. Back to the Saffina Desforges story
Despite the trials and tribulations of 'Sugar and Spice' (see above), where would the writing duo have been without self publishing and amazon in particular. In a follow up blog post, they make it clear just how unhelpful mainstream publishing has been despite their ebook success. In an official announcement of a publishing deal finally agreed with a French publisher, the blog post tells of the lack of satisfaction they found with approaches from US agents once they'd sold 50,000 copies of the book:
'...One of the biggest agencies on the planet, came cold-calling. Months earlier we couldn't get an agent to give us the time of day. Now New York's finest were coming to us! Could this be our big break in the American market? Sadly not. In fact their representative had not even read the book, and when they finally did she wanted so many changes (to a book that by now had sold 60,000 and was still topping the charts!) it would have been unrecognizable. And this just to get them to approach a publisher, let alone whatever changes the publisher might demand.'
'When the agent demanded changes in their next book. ' we realized this and many other agents were living in some fantasy past world where writers were nothing more than an irritation in their all-important lives. When writers had no other options......... Other agency and publisher offers followed, with contracts ranging from merely unreasonable to downright despicable.'
Once again, this is a snapshot of what it was like before epublishing on platforms like Kindle opened up market for authors to have control over their own affairs.
So, need for balance noted!

Forty One Strange Years of Writing
It's almost impossible to sum up and to make sense of over forty-one years of writing, of making up stories, of being rejected and accepted by publishers, of my stories being loved or not loved, of being published over and over, of being a storyteller. Truth is, wanting to tell stories is in the blood. […]

Jane Groom, GFWC Florida Volunteer of the Year!
Not only was she nominated by her club, but she was chosen from all the state nominees as the FLORIDA VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR! Read the story below that details just some of the many reasons that our club members LOVE, admire, respect and follow her leadership with joy!
We love you, Jane Groom!
The GFWC Woman's Club of Panama City, FL, Inc. is proud to nominate a lady for Volunteer of the Year who says, "Please keep in mind that whatever I do as far as volunteering in our community, it is always done with the help of my dear friends. . . This humble lady is Jane R. Groom. Not only does she give credit to her friends, but she also credits God with giving her the talent to be an incredible cook. It is through cooking that Jane has touched the lives of so many others in our community.
Jane attended the club leadership and planning workshops. When we talked about fund raising, she said, "I can show you how to "cook-up" the money. Then she scheduled events, established teams and created menus.
Some of the children in our community who so desperately need our love and attention are victims of abuse, abandonment or loss of a parent due to incarceration. Jane loves to recognize and encourage folks who help these children with a big meal and lots of love for their efforts. Not only has she bought clothing and school supplies for the centers, but she has also planned Woman's Club projects to promote awareness and foster collaboration to better meet their needs. One of these projects was a Child Abuse Prevention Month breakfast. About 100 professionals from Florida's 7-county 14th Judicial Circuit converged on the clubhouse to feast on her homemade biscuits, ham, eggs and grits among other things. The casual setting allowed representatives from law enforcement, social work, State Attorney's office and shelter coordinators to put a face with the voice on the phone or written email. They were able to share ideas for more efficient communication and response. Another 80 community professionals attended the Domestic Violence Awareness Month breakfast. Some of the attendees served both areas, but others did not. Discussions included victims as well as the professionals. As Jane said, "Nothing fosters a positive exchange of ideas as much as sitting down to eat good food together."
During these events Jane discovered we didn't have cooking pots of sufficient size. She borrowed pots from the church and added pots to the club's wish list, and one of the Community Service Programs (CSPs) paid for a pot. The Children's Advocacy Center coordinates all services for abused children from the 14th judicial circuit. Jane has provided stuffed animals and small toys to help assuage the children's fears. For Easter, she made 40 Easter baskets with coloring books, crayons and bunnies.
Jane jumped at the chance for our club to provide dinners to welcome wounded military and their caregivers (usually spouses) who came to our community as part of a therapeutic weekend. These twice a year retreats were developed by a local woman whose son is a double amputee. Some of these heroes come straight from Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Few have received any appreciation for their sacrifices. Jane established a theme of "Grandma's Dining Room" for their first evening and meal together after arriving in town. She recruited club members for set-up with consideration for wheel chairs, decorations, transportation & parking assistance, cookie baskets for their rooms and hostesses to greet the 80 people who would be our guests each time. She wanted ladies and spouses who could hug an amputee or shake hands with a prosthesis and say, "Welcome! We appreciate what you have done for your country," without hesitation or a grimace. Jane got a local minister who was also an Air Force Reserve Chaplain to off the devotion and be with our heroes and family members. Once she had the "front of the house" committees in place, she handpicked her kitchen staff. For this, and many other functions, Jane donated most of the food including her homemade sourdough rolls, baked ham, chicken, green beans, au gratin potatoes, chocolate pie and strawberry cake. One 18 year old double amputee asked if we could ship her home with him. Because of her vision and enthusiastic leadership, our club now has a team of ladies from each CSP who are already planning the next dinner.
Since we have a clubhouse, it is sometimes a challenge to raise operational funds. Jane volunteered to "cook up" quarterly Sunday brunches. Many of our members go to nearby churches so her plan was for members to provide tickets to their friends at church. She researched times church services let out and figured seatings thirty minutes apart with buffet service. She set the tickets at only $10 each, and we have realized an income of over $1,000 per brunch. She also instituted "to go" orders to be taken to members who could not attend.
Jane's CSP arranged and supervised a work release project to improve the clubhouse with inmates from the county jail. Even though the inmates had sack lunches, Jane added their numbers to the club members and deputies who were supervising, and we all sat together at lunch. The inmates' community service came about as the result of a penalty. She used that opportunity to talk about the need to do community service with enthusiasm and to meet a true need in the community. Not only did she want them to know we appreciated their work, but she also wanted them to continue to help the community after they had served their sentences. We were able to answer questions about what the Woman's Club contributes to the community.
Jane helped with the club's Veteran's Day parade booth. Not only did she help set up and bake 120 dozen cookies, but she also took her granddaughter to help hand them out. In addition, she took cookies to the veteran's home.
Jane is chairman of the Celebration Team at her church. It is a fun committee that cooks for 200-300 people at a time at bereavement receptions, wedding receptions, Wednesday night dinners, 5th Sunday dinners and youth dinners among other activities. She prepares food for volunteers to serve to 100 homeless and hungry six times a year. And, she doesn't miss weekly circle or Bible study meetings.
Some of our student athletes come from homes that have little food. Jane prepared nutritious pre-game meals for a high school football team's home games. She ensures no team member goes into the game feeling hungry. Jane works full time for a family business. Most of the schools have booster clubs that obtain ribbons and trophies from her business. A couple of schools in depressed areas cannot afford awards. Jane sees to it that these children receive their awards. She also donated books for a summer reading program for a "D" school.
The one project she has participated with that has not been for charity has been to assist a local chef with cooking classes for the Encore Program at Gulf Coast State College. This program is held twice a year, every Friday for six weeks. Jane has even involved her granddaughter. That cooking team provided one of the funniest programs at our clubhouse. She wore an apron that said, "Groomed for the Kitchen." She liked it so much that she suggested we make and sell aprons identifying the wearer as a Woman's Club of Panama City member. She is still taking orders for aprons.
Jane has willingly and graciously "cooked up" good food, camaraderie, operational income, public awareness and fun for the GFWC Woman's Club of Panama City. For a lady who says she would rather be in the background, "just working in the kitchen," Jane Groom has been a dynamic force in targeting the Woman's Club's volunteer efforts. She is truly deserving of being Volunteer of the Year.
A Mother's Example
The General Federation of Women's Clubs has its own website: www.GFWC.org
One of the most interesting links is a series of articlea about club women all across the USA with historic information about many club women who have had several members of their families involved in the work of the GFWC.
One of those families is our own Culbreth Family. You may know them - they've been serving this club for a very long time and they have made a tremendous impact in the lives of many people in our local community.
The article is entitled: A MOTHER'S EXAMPLE written by her daughter (our own) Helen Culbreth Schrenker. Here is a portion of the article which you can read in its entirety at http://www.gfwc.org/images/gfwc/legacyhires.pdf
A Mother's Example by Helen Culbreth Shrenker
My mother, Opal Hendrix Culbreth, set an example of community service for her five daughters by involvement in community activities and organizations. She, as did I and three of my sisters, found an outlet for that spirit of service in the GFWC Woman's Club of Panama City (Florida). My mother joined the club in 1960, and remained an active member until she became homebound with ALS in 1982. However, she maintained her membership until her death in 1986.
My sister, Sara Culbreth Cooper, began her membership in 1969. Because of poor health, she is unable to attend meetings, but, she has kept her membership. In addition to other responsibilities, Sara has served as house rentals chairman and scholarship committee chairman.
I joined the club in 1997, and have served as historian and International Outreach service coordinator. My sister, Joan Culbreth Parker, has been a member since 1993, and served as club president for the 2000-2002 term. Prior to that she was a vice-president and Arts coordinator. Sadly, Joan passed away in 2006 from ovarian cancer.
My sister, Marynel Culbreth Adams, joined the club in 2005, and presently serves as corresponding secretary. She was recently elected as a vice-president for the coming term.
We sisters are all graduates of Florida State University—four of us have earned advanced degrees in education—and have had successful careers as teachers. My eldest sister, Bayne Culbreth Coonce, chose to channel her community service through the garden club, but she has always been supportive of our woman's club projects.

Historical Highlights
In the sleepy Gulf Coast fishing village of Panama City in 1913, thirty-two women with a vision for their community met and launched the Woman's Club of Panama City. Today, this organization proudly celebrates its ninety-eighth year of service to the community.
Immediately these women began working to support city ordinances that would keep horses tethered to downtown hitching posts, to get pigs and cattle off the streets, and to outlaw spitting on the sidewalks. In 1922, the ladies led a city-wide cleanup and beautification effort. Other early projects were establishing the town's first public library; paying the salary of the first county public nurse, and making available $1400 for teachers' salaries in the Depression. During World War II, the Club received national recognition for selling more than $500,000 in war bonds.
Many local projects have received ongoing support through the years. In 1967, along with 24 other civic organizations, the Woman's Club pledged their support to help build the Junior Museum of Bay County. The club became a founding member of the Children's Advocacy Center in 2000, and has continued their support with funds and volunteer hours. The CAC is a temporary safe haven for children who have been separated from their families.
Since 1988, the Home Life Department has sponsored the Annual Community Prayer Coffee which is open to the public. The club's primary fundraiser, The Red Stocking Revue, is held every other year. This is a themed musical variety show held in the downtown Marina Civic Center for 3 nights that is totally planned, produced, and performed by club members and many talented local residents.
While supporting the GFWC and the FFWC and their action plans, members actively participate in local charities, particularly those of interest to women and children. Included are the Heart Walk, Cancer Relay for Life, World Food Day, and Make-a-Difference Day. An effort is made to "sweeten" many civic functions; for example, the Club annually furnished lemonade and cookies to marchers in the Veterans Day Parade.
In 2004, the Club was honored to have been selected by Southern Living Magazine to host the Southern Living Idea House. During the summer, 15,000 visitors were escorted through the home by over 150 club members, accumulating 3,048 volunteer hours.
The Club was rewarded with a financial contribution and materials for a new roof.
The Club was rewarded with a financial contribution and materials for a new roof.
The Club members are "at home" in their historic clubhouse. Early meetings were conducted at the clubhouse on W. Beach Dr, but in 1936 the present facility was built on land donated by real estate developer H.L. Sudduth. Additions were made to the house in 1960 and 1975 that brought it to its present capacity. The monthly luncheons are held here, allowing the membership an opportunity to come together for fellowship, food, information and planning.
The clubhouse also is a gracious site for many weddings, receptions, and other social functions. Commemorating the founding year of the club, The 1913 SOCIETY has been established to conserve and sustain the club's real property for many years to come.

Sony TV's Itna Karo Na Mujhe Pyar (Balaji Telefilms) has recently taken a time jump of nine months, post which viewers have witnessed Neil (Ronit Roy) getting back to USA after breaking ties yet again with Ragini (Pallavi Kulkarni).
Itna Karo Na Mujhe Pyaar's latest track about Ragini and Neil daughter Nishi attempting suicide will soon bring them together yet again. Following the suicide attempt, Ragini will be seen calling Neil to inform about Nishi's condition.
In the episodes to come, Ragini will be persuaded by Aman (Darshan Pandya) to talk to Neil about Nishi's problems.
After inviting Neil to help Nishi, Ragini gives him an option to come to them only if he wants will irk Neil. He takes the conversation as Ragini trying to prove that she is a good mother and that he is not, will end in them having an argument with each other.
Like before when Neil returned to India for Nishi's sake, this time too, Neil will be seen returning for her sake. Itna Karo Na Mujhe Pyaar has been keeping the viewers at edge with the latest turn of events, with the latest twist, Neil and Ragini will finally come face to face.
How will Neil react on meeting Ragini again? Will Neil be able to help out Nishi?
We tried calling Pallavi, but did not get through to her.
Watch this emotional reunion of the father-daughter in the coming week!

As I write this I'm listening to problogger interviewing Seth Godin on productivity and blogging. Is an interesting interview.
The concept that is speaking out for me is talking as a solution to the writer's block. He mentioned that the solution to his writers block is to write like you talk. Learn to talk in full sentences (with something to say!) And then write that way.
As one who wishes she wrote more, thought deeper and broader etc etc this might be useful advice. Particularly in my case because I use voice recognition software, which works better if you can think at least in phrases–or at least not turn the microphone on until you know vaguely what you're going to say. I get complimented on my writing when I talk it rather than typing it.
It may not have been how I was taught to write, sentence structure parts of speech and such. But it does work.

Just for Laughs – more funny stuff
by Thom Van Vleck
Recently, Kevin McAllister asked some of his fellow HASA athletes for their training routines. Some of them were so important to development of the all round athlete I felt I should include them in this newsletter.
Here was Larry Ventress' response:
Off season: Lift like hell, throw a little bit
In season: Lift like hell, throw a little bit more
Results: I still stink
Post season: Depression sets in
Results: The oreo cookies come out
Post Cookies: Feel guilty about not training and eating too many cookies.
Results: Lift like hell, throw a little bit and get ready for next year.
It's a vicious cycle! Hope this helps, Larry.
Al Myers replied: I also "cycle" train like Larry, but mine goes like this.
Off season: Powerlift as hard as possible to get stronger and tighten up all tendons/muscle groups
Early season: Throw as hard as possible and loosen up all tendons/muscle groups
In season: Pull or tear some major tendon/muscle groups.
Next year: Start it all over again!!!
Now, I will include Mitch Ridout's "King of Beasts" Training Routine for the Highland Games. Mitch believes strongly in the "KOB". It dictates a focus on recuperation. Mitch say, "It is during the recuperation phase that muscle is actually built, the act of working out actually tears down muscle. Look at our friend, the mighty Lion, the KING OF BEASTS. He will lay around all day getting up only to eat, have sex, or to deal with competition and he carries a mighty frame of muscle." Now, I can tell you….. I have watched Mitch train and he fervently believes in the KOB philosophy. I have also had to listen to him sleep. That guy can fall asleep before his head hits the pillow and his snoring will rattle window panes. I also know that he follows the eating part religously, eating copious amounts of red meat in one sitting. As for the sex part, you would have to ask his wife or Kevin McAllister as I do know Kevin invited him to "sleep" over one weekend when Kev's wife was out of town.

kdka.com - Mayor Unveils Plan To Curb Violence Mayor Unveils Plan To Curb ViolenceFor years, we've been told by the city's leadership that where the police station sits is not a factor in preventing violence. The officers were all in their designated zone and didn't respond to calls by departing their desks in the police station. They had sectors. They stayed in those sectors, by and large. The station was just a place for the commanders to hang out.
Getting to a call for the police is much unlike that of the firemen. Firemen and even the EMS have stations. They have equipment. They respond to calls from a base. The police are rolling. They rove around. Where the police station sits -- West End -- matters little.
Well, now Luke Ravenstahl has a new plan. He'll curb violence by moving the police station.
Are we going to have COPS again. The COPS are "Community Oriented Police Stations." They are mini-stations for one person.
Furthermore, what happens in St. Clair Village is still not within sight of the new location for the police staion at the corner of Warrington and Arlington Ave.
Luke didn't mention a peep about the new cameras that he promised to have installed by summer.
I don't like the cameras. I think we need more cameras that are pointed at the politicians and the police -- and not the people. However, what's up with that?

This broad-ranging volume includes a series of articles that were originally published as a special issue of Cognition produced to celebrate the 50th volume of the journal. Written by some of the foremost scientists studying different aspects of the mind, the articles review progress achieved over the past twenty-five years in the main areas of the discipline. They provide a unique record of what is happening today in the field of cognition, with an added historical perspective that is often absent from other volumes that seek to cover so much ground.
Does intelligence result from the manipulation of structured symbolic expressions? Or is it the result of the activation of large networks of densely interconnected simple units? Connections and Symbols provides the first systematic analysis of the explosive new field of Connectionism that is challenging the basic tenets of cognitive science.

NFL quarterback Vince Young files for bankruptcy
Unable to land an NFL job the past two seasons, free-agent quarterback Vince Young filed for federal Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last week, the Houston Chronicle reported.
According to the petition filed in a Houston bankruptcy court, Young has assets between $500,001 and $1 million and liabilities between $1,001,000 and $10 million.
The former Tennessee Titans and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback once had a guaranteed $26 million contract, but since then he has fought two lawsuits stemming from a $1.8 million loan in his name obtained from Pro Player Funding during the NFL lockout in 2011. With interest, the loan has grown to $2.5 million.
Pro Player, a New York-based company, has sought to collect the amount through Harris County state district court. Young has been unsuccessful in his legal attempts to challenge the $1.7 million balance on the loan.
The 30-year-old Young sued his former agent and financial adviser for fraud, and an undisclosed settlement was reached. The former financial adviser testified that he sought the loan at Young's request to help pay for a $300,000 birthday party that the quarterback planned for himself.
Young played for the Titans from 2006 to 2010 and then with the Eagles as a backup to Michael Vick. Since then, Young has been unable to land an NFL job. He signed with the Buffalo Bills and the Green Bay Packers last season but was released by both teams before playing in a regular-season game.

* Caterpillar has dominant position in market for rig engines
* Tighter emissions rules may accelerate switch
* GE says gas far cheaper for drillers than diesel
By Terry Wade
HOUSTON, Nov 12 (Reuters) - General Electric Co is trying to deploy more of its natural gas engines on rigs drilling for hydrocarbons in the North American energy boom - where Caterpillar Inc diesel engines have long been the industry standard.
The sales push comes as GE forecasts global natural gas consumption will rise by a third through 2025 and as it makes strategic investments in the gas sector - like its 2010 purchase of U.S. engine maker Waukesha.
Rigs, mammoth machines that bore holes in the earth before the extraction of crude oil and natural gas, normally rely on three engines that burn expensive diesel and operate around the clock.
Engineers at energy and drilling companies consulted by Reuters - from Ensign Energy Services Inc to Patterson-UTI Energy Inc and Devon Energy Corp - say that natural gas engines are far cheaper to run than diesel, which is often trucked in to remote drilling sites from far away.
GE says potential savings are significant and that running cleaner-burning natural gas would help curb greenhouse gas emissions from rigs and reduce tanker truck traffic on overburdened local roads near drill sites.
"Exploration & production (E&P) companies can save $600,000 per engine, per year by switching to natural gas-fueled engines versus diesel. E&Ps can realize a $1.8 million fuel savings per rig by using field gas versus diesel," GE said in an email.
There are about 1,700 oil and gas rigs actively drilling in the United States, according to Baker Hughes Inc.
According to several industry experts, at least 80 percent of the diesel engines are made by Caterpillar, followed by smaller market shares for Cummins Inc and MTU Detroit Diesel.
Caterpillar declined to comment on its share of the rig market, but emphasized it has a line of natural gas engines it is also selling to clients.
"In the gas space, we are seeing a big opportunity," said Steve Igoe, Caterpillar's commercial manager.
The adoption of gas engines has been slower over the past couple of years than many in the industry had predicted - in part because of infrastructure constraints.
But the switch to gas rigs may start to accelerate as stricter diesel regulations from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency take effect in 2015, more filling stations offer compressed natural gas, and newer engines are set up to burn gas from local wells.
Evidence of the pace of change to gas and away from diesel is mostly anecdotal.
Ensign said it has about 300 drilling rigs globally and about 20 of them can run natural gas, with four those being so-called dual fuel engines.
Of some 192 rigs in operation, Patterson has four rigs running entirely on natural gas and has commitments to power five other rigs with gas engines.
"How far and how quickly things will grow is unknown - but it is clear that companies are moving beyond the pilot project phase," said Brian Murphy, engineering manager at Ensign.
Competition in the market for rig engines between GE and Caterpillar is just the latest skirmish in a pitched battle between the two titans - which already compete in the lucrative market for locomotive engines and replacement parts.
Both companies say their gas engines can run on gas that varies in quality and that may contain liquids. That means a rig could in theory run on gas produced at local wells.
But relying on field gas can be tricky.
"These wells don't give up a steady supply of gas all the time so that means you are depending on a well for fuel that varies and that becomes a dynamic situation," said Michael Matlock, a senior facilities engineer with Devon.

Constructing Angles in Standard Position
Date: 12/11/2003 at 17:23:50 From: Cody Subject: Geometry-Constructing I'm just learning to construct angles and I'm wondering if I should always make my beginning line to the right. When I check the answer key it is sometimes opposite of what I've constructed because I have started my line pointing left instead of right. Does this make a difference?
Date: 12/12/2003 at 12:00:52 From: Doctor Peterson Subject: Re: Geometry-Constructing Hi, Cody. As far as an assignment goes, if you are told to construct an angle with a certain measure, it doesn't make any difference which way it points. So your answers are right even if they don't look the same as the answer key (as long as the angle has the correct measure). Just turn the key's picture to match your own if you need to. If your 120 degree angle was / / / -------+ and the book shows \ \ \ +------- they are the same angle. In fact, you could even have | | | + \ \ like a clock, and there is nothing wrong with it. On the other hand, it's not a bad idea to get used to starting with a ray pointing to the right; this is called "standard position", and is commonly assumed, especially when you do trigonometry. Your book tends to show angles that way out of habit, because that's the usual way we show angles. But make sure you understand that an angle does not HAVE to be in standard position! That's the risk that textbook authors take when they choose to show all their answers that way. Some students may miss that point, and not realize that the three angles in this triangle are all 60 degree angles, and are all congruent: + / \ / \ +-----+ If you have any further questions, feel free to write back. - Doctor Peterson, The Math Forum http://mathforum.org/dr.math/
