The following apology was printed in the Observer's For the record column, Sunday November 9 2008
We accept that shadow sports minister Hugh Robertson did not make the remarks we attributed to him in the article below. We should clarify that Mr Robertson's criticism of the composition of England's 2018 World Cup bid board encompasses two points: he maintains that three, not five, politicians should sit on the nine-member board and he believes that there is a consequent lack of expertise on the board from the Union of European Football Associations and the International Federation of Association Football. Apologies.
What on earth is she doing there?' asked the shadow sports minister, Hugh Robertson, on the appointment of Baroness Amos to England's 2018 World Cup bid. With Amos being a former Secretary of State for International Development, a former Leader of the House of Lords and a passionate sports fan, what was the Conservative MP so upset about?
Last week's revelation of a row between the English and Jamaican Football Associations, which threatened to derail the bid, underlined just how vital contacts in the Caribbean will be to win that block vote, an area - along with Africa and the Commonwealth generally - of expertise for Amos.
Still, her appointment was reported with a great deal of scepticism. The Independent went so far as to say, 'If Lord Triesman [the FA chairman] wants a black/female presence to impress Fifa, surely the feisty Millwall chair Heather Rabbatts would be ideal', the implication being there is room for only one black woman on the board.
All the reports described Amos as knowing very little about football, a fact she contests with a charitable laugh. 'The assumption is that because I'm a woman and I'm in politics I can't know anything about football. But nobody actually rang me up and asked me. I can see that people might jump to conclusions, but it would be nice to be asked.'
Amos has been a Tottenham fan since she first arrived in England from Guyana, aged nine. 'We've always been a sports-mad family. I love cricket, football, tennis, athletics. My dad came over in 1961, a famous year for Spurs, and was living in north London. The rest of us came over in '63, but that love affair he started with Spurs seeped into the family. I go to White Hart Lane when I can, but I love any live sport. When I was at university in Birmingham I watched West Bromwich Albion for the 1976-77 season. It was the chance to watch live football.'
She was thrilled to be asked by Triesman to join the board: 'It came completely out of the blue, it was wonderful. Having an opportunity to bring the World Cup here in 2018 is something I will work my socks off to achieve. I have strong international connections, my knowledge and expertise are the reasons I have been asked to go on the board. The added value is that I'm a football fan.'
During the last World Cup Amos showed her football allegiances by painting the St George's Cross on her fingernails. 'Every match we won I did another fingernail. I thought it was important to support England, but at that time there were a lot of politicians jumping on the bandwagon and I didn't want to be associated with that. I wanted a demonstrable way of indicating my support, I happened to be getting my nails done at the time and so I hit on this idea.'
As a former chief executive of the Equal Opportunities Commission, Baroness Amos is no stranger to the issue of under-representation of women in sports-leadership roles and would not have been surprised at how her appointment was greeted. In 2006, she addressed Parliament on the subject, saying: 'The most depressing thing I have read in relation to sport is that the FA's women's committee... has just two women members out of a total board of 10. If that does not point out the difficulties that we face in this arena, I do not know what does.'
Two years later and the statistics remain grim. Only Karren Brady, managing director of Birmingham, and Delia Smith, joint majority shareholder at Norwich, occupy prominent positions in football's national consciousness. Only four of the leading 35 British national governing bodies (NGBs) of sport have a female chief executive, while women make up a quarter of all NGB board members. It is the same percentage among elite coaches.
Contrast that to the United States - whose NFL teams, the New Orleans Saints and the San Diego Chargers, play at Wembley this afternoon - and the UK appears to be seriously lagging behind. Both visiting teams have senior women in the boardroom. Jeanne M Bonk is executive vice-president of the Chargers and Rita Benson LeBlanc is in the same role for the Saints, as well as being part-owner of the club. There are others: Denise DeBartolo York owns the San Francisco 49ers, Virginia Halas McCaskey owns the Chicago Bears, Amy Trask is chief executive of the Oakland Raiders... the list goes on.
'Having all these women in powerful roles is to do with the family-like nature of our sport,' says LeBlanc, whose grandfather Tom Benson bought the New Orleans club in 1985. 'In the initial process of daughters being encouraged to get involved, it helped other women to get in. It is one of the great strengths of the NFL.
'Women are still in a minority in the boardroom, but it's shifting. The league has an NFL managers' programme to cultivate talent and there are women and minorities included in that. There are small steps being taken.' LeBlanc may see them as small, but the equivalent over here - the Premier League encouraging recruitment of women and ethnic minorities into the management structure of their clubs - is unimaginable.
While women at the top level of UK sport, such as Smith, Brady and Amos, have all climbed the ladder and then sidestepped over to sport, in the US it is common for women to progress through the ranks. 'I have street credit because I earned my stripes like everyone else,' says LeBlanc. 'I started out working summers at the club as a teenager, I spent time in the scouting department collecting statistics for the draft. Interestingly, I believe the Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills both have women scouting for them.'
LeBlanc's biggest achievement is the turnaround of the club's fortunes after the disaster of Hurricane Katrina. Organising the return to the Louisiana Superdome and slashing ticket prices to help the fans attend - not to mention an uplift in results - have helped her popularity. Aged 31 and the youngest woman to run an NFL team, she is already being tipped to take full control of the club from her grandfather.
Does LeBlanc ever feel she is judged because she is a woman? 'I remember reading Condoleezza Rice's autobiography and people asked if she felt challenged as a woman or a black woman, and Rice [George W Bush's Secretary of State and former National Security Advisor] said she never let that into her consciousness. I'm the same. I won't suffer foolish behaviour from others. I have a look that says, "Don't go there." And they don't.'
Brady has a similar tough reputation. When she was first appointed, 15 years ago, jaws dropped. 'I couldn't understand what all the fuss was about,' she says. She quickly earned the respect of her colleagues, making Birmingham the sixth most profitable club in football, an achievement that went hand in hand with a legendary anecdote. A Birmingham player famously quipped: 'I can see your tits in that shirt' to which Brady replied: 'Well, don't worry, when I sell you to Crewe, you won't be able to see them from there.'
'It's true, I did say that,' she says. 'He didn't get transferred to Crewe, but he did go a long way away. I won't tell you who it is because he'd die of embarrassment and his wife would probably kill him.'
Brady has promoted women into managerial positions at Birmingham and wishes more clubs would follow suit. 'In my business, 75 per cent of my senior management are women. I think football was slow to grasp the idea that it was a place where women could and should work. But with the overseas investors coming into the game and lots of them employing women in their businesses, I think things are going to change very quickly.'
Brady maintains that football is a challenge for a woman. 'It's a six-day a week job with inflexible hours, and with a family that's not always easy to manage. From the outside it can look like a very male dominated business.'
Has anything changed during her 15-year tenure? 'When I joined, attitudes were unbelievable, women weren't allowed into boardrooms, they had "ladies rooms", whatever they were.' It is different now, but outdated attitudes are not entirely dead. 'When Norwich were last in the Premier League, Delia came to a meeting and said she would like to be more involved. So Doug Ellis [then owner of Aston Villa] said, "Oh yes, Delia dear, we'll set you up a catering committee." Her ears were steaming, you can imagine.'
She laughs uproariously at the story of Barnsley's 'strictly male personnel only' sign barring women from the tunnel, removed this year after complaints. 'There's probably a law against that! It's unbelievable isn't it? It's like saying "no old people".'
Brady believes there are women making important contributions in football, but we are slow to recognise them. 'I guess I'm the one they always wheel out, when there are a lot of other women doing great things. I hope that if I were ever to move on, one of the women here would have the opportunity to take over my role. Football is playing catch-up, it's taken women a long time, but it's a wonderful industry to work in and I really believe we will get there.'
Perhaps if England win the 2018 bid, Baroness Amos's role will be celebrated and another attitudinal shift will open the doors for more women to come through.

Hong Kong and the New Climate DiceVIEW EVENT DETAILS
Half-Day Forum
Evidence continues to accumulate about the impact of global warming, and climate models predict substantial further change. Extreme weather events which might previously have been expected every 100 years are becoming more frequent. These changes were recently explained by James Hansen of the Goddard Institute of Space Science in the paper "The New Climate Dice." As Dr. Hansen states, the "dice" which we had been rolling to determine our weather has changed, and that we must now plan for the risks which come with playing with a new set of dice.
Co-presented by the Asia Society, City University of Hong Kong and Civic Exchange, this half-day forum will focus on risk in terms of key environmental issues for Hong Kong, with an emphasis on air and water and the effects of climate change on cultural heritage. Participants include policy experts, atmospheric scientists and cross-disciplinary scholars who are actively engaged in the development of a sustainable Hong Kong. The forum is part of the Asia-Europe Forum on Methods and Perspectives of Risk Analysis, initiated by the Hong Kong Advanced Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Studies at City University of Hong Kong, which serves as a venue to bring together Asian and European scholars from a range of disciplines to discuss methods and perspectives on risk analysis.

AN inspirational teenager from Winchelsea Beach is set to compete for England in the Special Olympics despite being in constant pain.
Nicole Martin, aged 17, was born with the genetic condition neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1).
Benign tumours affect her nerve endings causing chronic pain and sickness and mobility problems.
Nicole has recently had major surgery to remove tumours that would become cancerous if left.
But this has not stopped her from pursuing her dream of competing in Judo tournaments.
Nicole is in the team to represent England in the European Games, in Antwerp, Belgium, in September and could go on compete in the World Games in Los Angeles next year.
As if this was not enough, Nicole is set to take part in a charity sky-dive in June to help local CharityForKids, who funded a special sports wheelchair so that she could complete her sports course at Bexhill College.
The charity helps sick and terminally ill children in Sussex.
Nicole wants to be an athlete or sports psychologist and was described by her Judo teacher Paul Everest as 'inspirational'.
Nicole said: "Judo makes me feel happier, being able to show people I am a fighter.
"I don't let NF1 rule my life. I have to adapt. There is always a positive."
Nicole and her family are also keen to raise more awareness of NF1 so that those affected can get early treatment.
The disease affects one in 2,500 people. Someone with NF1 will be born every day in the UK.
Nicole's mother Vanessa believes that NHS health professionals need to be given additional training to recognise the symptoms and to understand the correct course of treatment. She'd also like to see increased Government funding to publicise and carry out research into the condition.
Vanessa said: "There is a high cost to diagnosing NF1 as many doctors and midwives are unaware of the condition.
"Money is wasted on incorrect tests and needless investigations. If more staff were trained to recognise the symptoms, the whole process would be more efficient and people could be treated faster and smarter."
Nicole met with parliamentary candidate Sarah Owen, who has enlisted the help of Lord Bassam of Brighton to raise the profile of NF1.
Sarah Owen said: "I am inspired by Nicole and Vanessa's determination to get neurofibromatosis discussed and I back their campaign to improve diagnosis and increase support for those with the condition. They have both had to go through so much with very little help. It's time there was a joined-up approach to supporting carers and those with NF1."
Lord Bassam commented: "Nicole and Vanessa have highlighted some serious problems. I am surprised by how common this condition is with public awareness being so low. I want to find out what the Government will do to increase GP's diagnostic training.
"I also want to know what support is given to carers of those with the condition and whether any guidance is given to schools, colleges and universities to take into account the symptoms and difficulties faced by sufferers."
If you would like to support Nicole in her charity sky dive you can sponsor her by going to her Just Giving page at http://justgiving.com/vanessa-martin1

No surprise…Benni Top Rovers signing
Vital Blackburn's most recent Poll asked you "Who has been best summer transfer window signing?" Unsurprisingly you voted... Benni McCarthy! It had to be really didn't it?
Although to be fair all the signings have made an impression with 77% of the vote the South African (who has already scored more than a third of the number of goals Craig Bellamy scored for Rovers last season) runs out a clear winner.
Shabani Nonda, who is really impressing me with his work rate and commitment came in second with 10%. Personally I feel he is still working up his fitness and once this is fully at his peak he will be truly explosive!
Jason Brown has been limited to only forty-five minutes of play but did enough with his penalty save and others saves in the Wigan Athletic game to gain 7% of the vote to finish third.
Andre Ooijer who has recovered from a tricky start to impress in recent times gained 2% as did Jason Roberts and Francis Jeffers.
Personally I'm saddened by the fact that Roberts has only gained 2% as I feel his contribution since his arrival has maybe gone a little unnoticed. Even taking into account his injury I felt he had maybe done enough to have impressed more than he has? Since his return from injury he has been involved in the Wigan Athletic and Wisla Krakow goals.
So in summary
Jason Brown - 7%
Jason Roberts - 2%
Francis Jeffers - 2%
Benni McCarthy - 77%
Andre Ooijer - 2%
Shabani Nonda - 10%
You can't question that Benni was the worthy winner, but this is a poll that I think would be interesting to re-run at a latter date to at least see if someone runs him closer?
The current poll, with the third round of the Carling Cup taking place this week is asking, "How far will Rovers go in the League Cup?"
As for what you think, cast your vote and why not have your say on the latest polls findings...

Q&A: Aaron Goldman, CMO of Kenshoo
Aaron Goldman
Kenshoo, an international vendor that provides a search engine marketing platform, named Aaron Goldman its CMO on September 13. Goldman is the author of Everything I Know About Marketing I Learned from Google and most recently a principal at his digital marketing consulting firm, Connectual.
He speaks to DMNews senior editor Rose Gordon about search marketing, metrics and keeping marketing simple.
DMNews: Your firm Connectual helped clients develop their digital marketing structures. What were the top challenges and top requests that you encountered?
Aaron Goldman: The common denominator was everyone wanted better, faster and cheaper. It's very tough for anyone to check all of those, so I'd try to help them prioritize the top two. Everyone's trying to automate things and cut down on their spend.
DMNews: What brand is doing digital doing well?
Goldman: Zappos is an example of how you make your company a great story. Zappos put their customer service reps front and center as the face of the company. When you translate that to their ads, their brand appears in every piece of communication they put out.
DMNews: What do clients still forget to do or execute poorly when it comes to search marketing?
Goldman: With search in particular I think it's easy to reach a point of saturation with your program. They get their campaign up and running and they do early optimization, and they get to a point where they let it go on autopilot. The most sophisticated tool sets still need updating. What was working yesterday is not going to work today. The minute you get complacent is the minute your competitors leapfrog you.
DMNews: What types of metrics are clients asking for?
Goldman: It's different for every advertiser. It's often direct sales or they're looking at how many registrations did we get or proxy metrics, such as how many people used the store locator function or registered to receive a coupon. For branding… they're looking at number of visits, time spent on site—anything that can be a measurement of engagement.
DMNews: What are some of the campaign automation tools that Kenshoo offers which you think are most helpful or unique?
Goldman: From my perspective, being able to automate across search engines so that as you're making changes you can shoot those same updates out to Google, Yahoo, etc. so you don't have to go manually to each one. Kenshoo has some great features built in to be able to rapidly assemble keyword sets, and also the creative and the ad copy is a place that's ripe for automation. The bid management where you can set rules and say, 'OK for this set of terms here's my goal I'm trying to achieve,' whether that is cost per acquisition or return on ad spend, and being able to automate that so you don't have to watch the bids every day, moving it up a penny, down a penny. The system can do that for you.
DMNews: You wrote Everything I Know About Marketing I Learned from Google. What's a top takeaway from the book?
Goldman: Chapter 3 is "Keep it simple, stupid." You go to Google.com and it's obvious what's meant to happen there. It's very easy. That's where I'm going to focus with Kenshoo. It's a very sophisticated tool and product but it's easy to get sucked into overcomplicating who we are and what we do.
DMNews: So what's going to be your Twitter pitch for Kenshoo?
Goldman: So it's Day 1, but we're going to test and reiterate on this. But when people describe to me, they're familiar with the company but each person I ask, I get different answers. How I'll describe it is, 'It's a leading global provider of technology solutions for advertisers, agencies and aggregators.' That's the base component that speaks to what we are today and what we aspire to be.

Stories behind the clothing
Restrictive hobble dresses, long hemlines and sober colours — a true reflection of fashion's demise from Edwardian to war-time style — will be on show in Mooroopna this month.
But it is the stories of the women behind the outfits at the Women of Empire 1914-19 exhibition which are the remarkable part of the travelling display.
Curator Keith Baverstock said he and wife Fiona started the exhibition in 2015 after being involved in the historical costume and vintage industries.
'' Women of Empire 1914-1919 takes us into the lives of about 30 of the women of Australia and New Zealand whose lives were transformed by their experiences in the First World War,'' Mr Baverstock said.
With about 134 pieces, Mr Baverstock said the collection ranged from uniforms and gowns to a flower picked by a wounded Australian soldier and sent to his wife back home.
''It's the only exhibition in the world that tells women's stories that had some kind of involvement with the First World War,'' he said.
Mr Baverstock said women's roles during this time took many forms with those with medical training — doctors, nurses, masseuses — joining the men on warships, at Gallipoli, in Egypt and on the Western Front.
''Women with guts and determination drove ambulances and became cooks and orderlies, Red Cross aides or motorcycle messengers,'' he said.
After first appearing at the National Wool Museum in Geelong, Mr Baverstock said the exhibition had appeared inmany cities and it was time to take it to regional areas.
''I'm a social historian myself,'' he said.
''We hear all the tales of the fantastic men during the war, but we don't hear a lot about the women.''
Mr Baverstock said these tales of the women often touched visitors to the exhibition.
''People enjoy the stories; you often see them leaving with tears in their eyes,'' he said.
It was the tale of Jane Sam that has stuck with Mr Baverstock the most from the women he and Mrs Baverstock call ''our ladies''.
''She was a street prostitute at age 11,'' he said.
''She was incarcerated in her teens and ended up in one of the worst prisons in NSW.
''She ended up marrying a Chinaman, which was an absolute no-no in those days.
''She bore seven or nine sons and ended up being the mother of heroes.
''Five of the men signed up for war and collected military medals.
''I thought it was marvellous how a woman like that became the mother of heroes.''
Mr Baverstock said the response to the exhibition had been so fantastic, work had started on a second exhibition — The Homecoming — which will tell the tales of women at the end of the Great War.
''It will be seen in Australia and New Zealand in the second half of next year,'' he said.
There would also be the chance for guests to contribute to the Letter to the Fallen project, which invites people to write a letter to an unknown soldier in France.
''It is hoped to have 60 000 letters by November 2018,'' he said.

A Pierce County Superior Court judge this afternoon sentenced a Gig Harbor woman convicted of hiring a hit man to kill her husband to 13 years, nine months in prison.
Karen Lofgren, 48, pleaded guilty last month to solicitation to commit second-degree murder. Prosecutors said Lofgren, formerly a nurse at Tacoma's Mary Bridge Children's Hospital, used an acquaintance last year as a go-between to hire who she thought was a Mexican gangster to kill her husband. The acquaintance went to police, and the hit man turned out to be an undercover Pierce County sheriff's detective.
Prosecutors asked for a high-end sentence of 13 years, nine months for Lofgren, rejecting her contentions that stress from a bad marriage and hostile divorce proceedings pushed her to commit the crime.
"While the dissolution proceedings were undeniably mutually hostile and stressful, to suggest that the defendant was under duress is absurd," deputy prosecutor Angelica Williams wrote in a sentencing memorandum.
Judy Hardin is the mother of Lofgren's husband, Todd Hardin. She wrote a letter to Judge Katherine Stolz asking for the maximum sentence.
"Were it not for the grace of God and intervention by the informant and the sheriff's department, to whom I will be eternally grateful, my son would be dead," Judy Hardin wrote. "My granddaughters would have had their father, whom they adore, cruelly taken form them by her vicious actions, the ultimate act of selfishness and greed."
Lofgren's attorney, Wayne Fricke, argued for a sentence below the standard range for his client. More than 50 people wrote letters on her behalf asking Judge Katherine Stolz to show mercy.
Many cited her service in the military and her work at Mary Bridge.
"Karen is a warm, loving person who has dedicated her life to helping others," attorney Jeffrey Robinson wrote in a letter to Stolz. Robinson is representing Lofgren in her on-going divorce proceedings. "During the course of the litigation, Karen had multiple people willing to swear under oath what a wonderful person and mother she was."
Lofgren wrote her own letter to the judge.
"I am truly sorry for this horrific error in judgment," she said. "I take full responsibility, and from the bottom of my heart I apologize for putting my family, friends, my husband, his family and especially my children through this. I reached my breaking point and was able to be influenced into doing something that would have otherwise been totally foreign to who I am and to how I've lived my life."
Stolz had the last word.
"She chose to do it," the judge said.

Humans are much more inclined to cooperate than are their closest evolutionary relatives. The prevailing wisdom about why this is true has long been focused on the idea of altruism: we go out of our way to do nice things for other people, sometimes even sacrificing personal success for the good of others. Modern theories of cooperative behavior suggest that acting selflessly in the moment provides a selective advantage to the altruist in the form of some kind of return benefit.

People became more "group-minded," identifying with others in their society even if they did not know them personally. This new sense of belonging brought about cultural conventions, norms, and institutions that incentivized and structured feelings of social responsibility

Something the study also says, but I think you may be missing, is that we work better together when working together is altruistic. You can't force people to work together and find the same results. It has to happen a la minute, when the need drives the inspiration.
Socialism is not that. Socialism is a regimented "plan" to achieve what cannot be planned: human behaviour.
If we follow the axiom of "as above, so below", it leads us to consider this in the context of the "above". Since fractal geometry is the vehicle that the creative force uses, it would seem logical that the same can happen with behaviors (since the same laws of physics apply). What socialism is, in essence, is like a square, blocked house. Sure it is well thought out and logical. But it isn't natural, and will not last.
Instead, we should develop our systems to create the framework from which greater things can grow. In essence, begin by teaching ourselves how to be better, then pass that along by teaching our kids.
Humans are unique in that we can push our ideas forward with some level of stability. We have written language and robust languages allowing us to communicate intricate details, pushing our collective knowledge forward. And if we ever "forget" something, rest assured it will be "discovered" again. Fractals demand that it repeat.edit on 19-11-2012 by bigfatfurrytexan because: (no reason given)

The words were recovered, like aspects of soul which had gone missing, from the sewers beneath the streets of Cincinnati's seven ancient hills.

False Flag operations are not general knowledge. But thanks to the net, more and more people have learned about them.
In the spirit of 9/11 in New York and 7/7 in London, 26/6 was planned for the opening of the Women's Football Championship in Berlin in 2011. But thanks to the initiative of two independent lawyers and a number of websites, the attack did not take place. It had been 'announced' by the use of many symbols in a number of films.
The same technique has now been detected and presented in a number of videos on YouTube:

Baylor Professor To Play Modern Music For Saxophone Oct. 12Oct. 3, 2003
by Richard Veit
Dr. Michael N. Jacobson, professor of saxophone at Baylor University's School of Music, will present music of the late 20th century and early 21st century during a faculty recital at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 12, in Roxy Grove Hall.
A member of the Baylor music faculty since 1984, Jacobson's classical performances have taken him all over the world and earned him grants from the National Endowment for the Arts. His CD recording of John Harbison's San Antonio, issued in 1999 on the AUR label, was a first-round Grammy Award nominee in the category "Best Instrumental Solo Performance Without Orchestra." Jacobson also has toured and performed with entertainers, such as Bill Cosby, Lou Rawls, Sammy Davis Jr. and The Fifth Dimension.
Jacobson will be joined on stage by marimbist/composer Mark Ford and pianist Elvia Puccinelli. Ford is coordinator of percussion activities at the University of North Texas and president of the Percussive Arts Society. He is a marimba specialist and the director of one of the largest percussion programs in the United States. Puccinelli is now in her third year as director of Baylor's collaborative piano program.
The program will open with contemporary composer William Penn's four-movement Diversions, written in 1994, followed by two pieces by Mark Ford, Motion Beyond (1998) and Polaris (1996). Jacobson also will perform his own arrangement of Oblivion (1984) by the famous Argentine tango composer Astor Piazzolla. The program will conclude with Cannonball Concerto, a three-movement work written earlier this year by Dr. Scott McAllister, assistant professor of composition at Baylor.
The recital is free of charge and open to the public. For more information, call the Baylor School of Music at 710-3991.

Nearly half of all poisoning deaths nationwide among children under 6 years old result from medication, with pain-killers the single most-frequent cause of pediatric fatalities.
However, a local effort is under way this week to help reduce such statistics by getting unwanted medications off the streets.
This includes drug-take backs at campuses in all three school systems in Surry County, featuring collections by city officers in the Tuesday carpool lines at Mount Airy High and Middle schools, from 7:15 to 8 a.m., along with others at additional campuses.
Schools and law enforcement agencies are partnering with the Project Lazarus-Surry organization to provide families an easy way to dispose of unused or expired medications, although no liquids or needles are being accepted. This week-long lifesaving effort is being held in conjunction with an initiative of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, known as "Got Drugs."
Also this week, in addition to the Tuesday carpool lines in Mount Airy:
• Unwanted medications can be taken to the Pilot Mountain Police Department from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day through Friday.
• Carpool take-backs will occur Wednesday at all four Surry County middle schools from 7:25-8:05 a.m.
• Thursday from 7:25-8 a.m., officers will be in the carpool lines at Elkin Elementary and Elkin High/Middle schools.
• On Friday, the three high schools in Surry County will be involved, from 7-7:40 a.m., with the first 20 participants to receive a sandwich coupon for Chick-fil-A.
This marks the second October that carpool line drug take-backs are under way at local campuses, and organizers are hoping to build on last year's success — as evidenced by what happened at Elkin schools alone.
Officers there averaged receiving more than 100 dosage units per minute. "You couldn't ask for better than that," Project Lazarus-Surry Coordinator Karen Eberdt said Monday of what she considers an important ongoing activity to alleviate abuse and misuse of prescription medications.
"It's absolutely a cog in the wheel," Eberdt said.
"It's not addressing one piece of the problem, it's addressing multiple pieces of the problem."
Of course, the important thing is removing potentially deadly substances from the community before these can reach the wrong hands, according to the Project Lazarus-Surry coordinator.
Plus, the tie-with school carpooling lines is a way to open up a dialogue between parents and youths about the dangers, as part of a goal among organizers to "start the conversation early and often."
That includes discussing how some medicines and candy look alike, and just because something resembles candy doesn't mean it should be consumed. Also, if medicine tasks good, one should not ingest more than doctors or parents have said is the correct amount.
"It's a cultural change that needs to happen," Eberdt said of altering a mindset that the answer to every problem is a pill.
Underlying the concern are figures reported to U.S. Poison Control showing that 45.7 percent of poisoning fatalities among children younger than 6 years old from 2010 through 2014 were due to medication.
Education is a large component of Project Lazarus-Surry's efforts to keep young people from misusing or abusing prescription drugs, along with trying to lessen existing addiction problems among the adult population
Eberdt compared its mission to what was needed to educate people about the dangers of cigarettes and not wearing seat belts.
"Seat belts were installed in cars, but that didn't make people wear them," she said, which partly was achieved by making citizens aware of how safety restraints save lives.
Anyone unable to participate in this week's take-back campaign can dispose of unwanted medications at ongoing drop-boxes at the Mount Airy and Elkin police departments and Surry County Sheriff's Office.

As part of our on-going Maps and Data series we want to tackle the issues of collisions and roadway safety. Thanks to work done by the Safe Transportation Research and Education Center (SafeTREC) at the University of California, Berkeley, using data provided by the California Highway Patrol through their Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System, also know as SWITRS, historic collision data in Los Angeles is readily available for display and analysis.
Shown here are collisions recorded during the 10-year period between 2000 and 2009 on Los Angeles city streets (non-highway). The collisions are clustered at the intersection level and coded by the mode involved. The information illuminates certain areas of the City where there are a relatively high number of collisions. In particular, the Central City area of Los Angeles has had a high concentration of bicycle and pedestrian collisions.
On the citywide scale the data was used to create this list, which places the intersections that had the most collisions during the 10-year period in rank order.
Dynamic Mapping
While our maps and data are static, the Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) website allows users to drill down to their city/neighborhood/street and view the number, type, and severity of collisions over a given time frame. Also available is statistical data on the primary factors involved in the collisions. Common factors attributed to collisions are unsafe lane changes, following too closely, and, surprisingly, driving on the wrong side of the road. However, the most common factor attributed to collisions is driving at unsafe speeds.
The information visualized through these maps illuminates particular areas of the City where there are a relatively high number of collisions. The type of collision also provides the City certain indications on what specific measures can be taken to limit future incidents. Given that excessive speed is the most cited factor in collisions, targeted reductions in speed could go a long way to reducing the number of collisions in Los Angeles. Pedestrians and bicyclists are of particularly vulnerable in collisions with cars, especially when those vehicles are traveling at increased speeds.
The problem of speed is two-fold – at higher speeds bicyclists and pedestrians become less visible and more vulnerable:
1. Since the human brain can only process a finite amount of visual information, the field of vision reduces significantly as the speed of travel increases, as illustrated below:
At faster speeds the field of vision narrows and the periphery, often where pedestrians or bicycles would be located, fades from view.
2. The second problem with increased speed is the likelihood of injury and death quickly increases:
What We've Heard
Roadway safety for everyone will be an fundamental goal of the Mobility Element. Recent tragic pedestrian and bicycle accidents have brought safety issues to the fore in many areas of the city. Also groups like Los Angeles Walks and the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition have made safety an underpinning of their advocacy work and have raised awareness of the safety needs of bicyclists and pedestrians. Through our various outreach efforts we have heard overwhelmingly that pedestrian and bicycle safety is a fundamental concern of many Angelenos.
Many of our participants have suggested safety enhancements to our streets, such as separated bicycle lanes to protect cyclists and reduced traffic speeds, more visible crosswalks, and bulb-outs to provide added safety for pedestrians. Together with enforcement and education, the Mobility Plan will add components of the 3rd 'E' of traffic safety: engineering. Hopefully safety measures strategically implemented throughout the city can dramatically reduce the number and severity of collisions in Los Angeles.

|Reviews for Annie's Attempt
| JL82 chapter 1 . 11/27/2013
I was surprised...this was about the first letter Annie wrote. I was thinking it was going to be about the letters Annie was writing once they there both at college, that Liza wasn't responding to.
You really delved into what Annie saw in Liza and how part of her feelings was "a good kind of ache." That's something that I think there isn't enough of in the original story from Liza's point of view. We see so much of the angst; I had hoped for more of the "good kind of ache." I didn't feel there was enough of them being happy being in love. And the original story makes me really understand why Liza found Annie "fascinating" and "magical." But I don't think I understood quite as well what it was about Liza that made Annie fall so obsessively in love with her. I thought Liza was a more serious type and wasn't sure she was a perfect match for Annie's playfulness. Here, you make me see why she is.
And obviously, Annie was already farther along in the "coming out" process, and more willing to accept the relationship. She pursued Liza, and was obviously hurt by Liza's hesitation. I sometimes felt frustrated with Liza for that - I felt like she should value Annie more than being normal, if that makes any sense. The worst thing was Liza not answering Annie's letters for a whole semester. Advice columnists tell you, if somebody does that to you, they've dumped you. I would have understood better if Liza wanted to "take a break" from the relationship right after the trauma of the trial. But right after the trial she stands up to Sally about how it's NOT sickness, it's love. She sounds like she's not about to let the homophobes intimidate her...and then, several months later, in college, she "can't" write to Annie? I just didn't get that.
| Guest chapter 1 . 10/26/2012
Nice, I can believe it happened this way.
| ElectraPendulum chapter 1 . 6/30/2011
This is so amazing. I just finished Annie on my Mind a few minutes ago, and I have to say that you've caught Annie's personality perfectly. It's so accurate that I feel as though these are the letters that Annie wrote to Liza before finally writing the fifth one. It's so real and so simple, yet still so perfect. Fantastic job. :)

INDIANAPOLIS – ESPN's Outside the Lines' look back at how Monday Night Football broke the news of John Lennon's shooting and death 30 years ago was captivating.
One of the most interesting segments was an off-camera exchange between Frank Gifford and Howard Cosell, who wasn't sure he should announce Lennon's murder with the Patriots set to attempt a late field goal with the score knotted 13-13 in their showdown with the Dolphins.
Cosell, the veteran newsman, sought Gifford's counsel and Gifford didn't hesitate in telling Cosell to go with it.

Black Bottom Pudding Pie
printed from melskitchencafe.com
*Note: the rum extract is optional but adds a delicious depth of flavor to the pie. If you aren't sure about using it or don't want a strong rum flavor, start with just a few drops of the extract and go up from there if you want a more pronounced flavor.
*Serves 8
For the crust:
6 ounces chocolate cookies
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon heavy cream
For the custard:
1 envelope unflavored gelatin powder
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon rum extract, optional
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
5 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
For the topping:
1 cup chilled heavy cream
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon rum extract, optional
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Natural unsweetened cocoa powder
Preheat oven to 350° F. Pulse cookies in a food processor or blender until finely ground. Drizzle in butter and cream; pulse until well blended. Pour into prepared dish. Use the bottom and sides of a measuring cup to pack crumbs onto bottom and up sides of dish. Bake until crust is set, 12–15 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack; set aside.
For the custard, in a small bowl, pour 2 tablespoons water and sprinkle the gelatin over the top. Let the mixture stand until the gelatin softens, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the milk and cream in a large saucepan over medium heat until mixture just comes to a simmer.
In a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar, rum extract (if using), cornstarch, vanilla extract and pinch of salt. Whisking vigorously, pour 1/2 cup or so of the hot milk into the egg mixture and rapidly combine. Pour the tempered egg mixture into the pot of hot milk, whisking quickly the entire time. Whisk in the softened gelatin. Place the pan over medium-low heat and whisk the mixture constantly until thick, about 5 minutes.
Remove the vanilla custard from the heat and stir in the mascarpone (if desired, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove any lumps or cooked bits of egg). Measure out 1 cup of the custard and place it in a medium bowl. Add the chopped chocolate and lightly stir. Let the mixture sit for 2-3 minutes then stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Pour the chocolate custard into the cooled crust; smooth the top. Chill the pie until set, about 30 minutes, while letting the vanilla custard stand at room temperature. If the vanilla custard starts to form a skin, lightly press a piece of plastic wrap to the surface.
Gently pour the remaining vanilla custard over the chilled chocolate layer. Pour slowly so the chocolate layer doesn't get messed up. Smooth the top; chill until set, about 1 hour, or keep covered up to 1 day.
When ready to serve, use an electric mixer at medium speed and beat the cream and powdered sugar in a medium bowl until the cream begins to thicken. Add the rum extract and vanilla; increase the speed to high and beat until stiff peaks form. Spread whipped cream over custard. Dust with cocoa powder. Cut into slices and serve (the topped pie can be made 4 hours ahead - chill uncovered).

Enhanced Programming for IC-IMPACTS Project HQP
IC-IMPACTS graduate training strategy is designed to extend the learning experience of graduate students working on research projects funded through IC-IMPACTS. Centres, such as IC-IMPACTS have a unique opportunity to provide added-‐value training and knowledge development of students that singular research programs within universities are unable to achieve. IC-IMPACTS unique bi-national character affords even greater opportunity for distinctive knowledge sharing, and stimulation of research innovation through the sharing of research ideas between countries. So too, does its deployment
Overall goals:
- To foster strong connections among Canadian and Indian graduate students who share a common experience of working on IC-IMPACTS-funded projects.
- To develop a virtual cohort for graduate students participating on projects and to help them identify with IC-IMPACTS
- To encourage continuous learning through participation in professional development activities.
- To add value to the training of graduate students through a program designed to have graduate students becoming better equipped to tackle society needs-based problems and to acquire the commercialization know-how to have their research outcomes be deployed within community contexts.
If you are an HQP on one of IC-IMPACTS funded projects, we hope you will want to learn more. Contact Helena Fehr, Manager of Training programs at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Professional Practitioner Training
IC-IMPACTS organizes professional training programs with Industry partners in India and Canada to showcase best practices and innovative technologies that can be applied today. These professional training programs help increase the knowledge sharing between Canada and India and help improve the quality and safety of structures, water resources, and healthcare.
Community Engagement Fellowships
The University of Alberta's Engage North and IC-IMPACTS have partnered to create the Community Engagement Fellowship Program. The Program brings undergraduate and graduate students to Northern First Nations and Inuit communities to work on four-month long community-identified applied projects aimed at tackling a key challenge facing a community's overall health, sustainability and prosperity. Graduate level Fellowships identify potential research programs between the First Nations and academic communities to solve challenges where existing technologies and solutions are not suitable.

Choosing a Dishwasher
Decorating your kitchen, whether it be renovating it or simply decorating a new one, forms an exciting part of life. It offers you the chance to be creative and to realise some of your long-held ideas in your own home. However, it also requires you to think practically, to think of all the kitchen appliances needed to create a pleasant environment for you to cook and wash-up in.
Choosing a dishwasher, although what appears to be an insignificant decision is actually a largely important one. The dishwasher is something that forms an essential part of everyday life. Our daily lives are built around the efficiency and effectiveness with which we can wash dirty dishes with the dishwasher. You would think that finding the right dishwasher for you is a laborious process that takes time. In reality, the dishwasher market offers plenty of options. There are many good dishwasher deals to be found on the current market, so it is easy to find one tailor-made to your kitchen. For example, you can buy one that is integrated to match the interior design of your kitchen. If you have a big family, you can buy a suitably sized dishwasher to compensate for the larger amount of dirty dishes. Alternatively, if you only have a small kitchen, you can buy a compact dishwasher. There are so many variables to consider.
One further aspect to take into consideration when choosing a dishwasher is hard water areas. What type of water area you live in can impact upon how well your dishwasher cleans dishes and what types of products you have to use. For example, in a hard water area, you have to use Rinse Aid and Dishwasher Salt, whereas in a soft water area, these products are not necessary. Unwanted lime deposits from your dishwasher are often caused by living in hard water areas.
So, just remember, there is room for practicality when you are designing your kitchen. Such is the scale of choice nowadays, you can easily find and compare dishwashers online and find the perfect fit for your kitchen.

Three Michigan State University football players were dismissed from the team on Tuesday, shortly after a judge issued arrest warrants for them on sexual assault charges.
Josh King, 19, of Darien, Illinois, is charged with one count of first degree criminal sexual conduct and one count of third degree criminal sexual conduct, as well as with capturing an image of an unclothed person. He faces up to life in prison if convicted.
Donnie Corley, 19, and Demetric Vance, 20, both of Detroit, are charged with third degree criminal sexual conduct. They each face up to 15 years in prison if convicted.
Once the three men have been arrested, they will be arraigned on the charges, a judge will decide bond and dates will be set for initial court hearings.
The charges stem from a Jan. 16 incident at a party at a campus apartment when Det. Chad Davis, of the MSU police department, testified that King asked a woman if she "wanted to speak somewhere quiet." Davis added that the woman remembered being in two rooms but said King eventually "pulled her into a bathroom and "tried to get the victim to have sex with him."
"The victim said that King forced (her) to perform oral sex on him," then "pulled her pants down" and had vaginal sex with her, Davis testified.
During this time, King let Vance and Corley into the bathroom at separate times, the detective added, and each forced her to perform oral sex on them.
"The victim said she eventually collapsed to the floor and all three suspects left the bathroom promptly," Davis told Judge Richard Ball on Tuesday morning during a hearing that led to charges.
Davis also testified:
- When questioned by police, all three players initially denied having any sexual contact with anyone at the party. All three later eventually admitted having sexual contact with the alleged victim in the bathroom.
- During the investigation, police found a "suspicious" text message thread between the three players and a fourth MSU football player, who officials did not identify. The conversation included dialogue indicating the three players' "involvement in the sexual assault."
- Police also found a video on King's cell phone that showed him having sex with the woman in the bathroom.
- When police asked the victim about the video, she said she was not aware of the recording and did not consent to it.
Head coach Mark Dantonio officially dismissed the players from the football team shortly after the hearing in Ball's courtroom.
"I have decided that regardless of the final outcome of the criminal process, these three individuals have been dismissed from our program, effective immediately," he said in a statement. "When we choose student-athletes to come to MSU, we enter into a relationship with them and their families, and we welcome them into ours.
"… Sexual assault has no place in our community, and I want to share my deep concern for the young woman affected and her family."
The university announced on Feb. 9 that three players and a staff member associated with the team, later identified as Curtis Blackwell, had been suspended amid a sexual assault investigation.
The MSU police department sent its first request for warrants on Feb. 16, and that same day prosecutors asked for further investigation. Police sent their second request for charges to prosecutors on March 14.
In a statement after warrants were issued, MSU Police Chief Jim Dunlap said his department spent more than 1,500 hours on the investigation and conducted more than 100 interviews and contacts.
"The MSU Police Department has zero tolerance for sexual assault," Dunlap said. "I'm confident that this extensive investigation was completed thoroughly, and our detectives worked diligently and exhaustively in providing information to the prosecutor's office."
Karen Truszkowski, an attorney for the reported victim, asked the media to respect the privacy of her client, saying the case is dramatic and difficult, and that her client "is in as good a place as anybody can be with what's happened."
"This is going to be a very difficult day for my client," Truszkowski said, adding there were some details her client was not aware of. "This is a very sensitive situation for a young woman. She's doing as best as she can but I'm sure that this is going to be really difficult when she finds out what's been put in the public record."
Messages were left seeking comment from attorneys representing King and Vance.
"It's never a good day when a criminal charge is filed against you, but at least Mr. Corley knows what he is facing and can get on with the process of fighting it," John Shea, Corley's attorney, said in statement. "As appropriately noted by Prosecutor Siemon in her statement, at this point the charge is only an accusation and Mr. Corley is presumed to be innocent. He maintains that, in fact, he IS innocent, and we intend to demonstrate that in the coming proceedings."
The university's Title IX investigation, conducted by an independent investigator MSU hired, found that all three players violated the university's relationship violence and sexual misconduct policy.
In a statement, MSU spokesman Jason Cody said, "The criminal sexual conduct charges brought today by the Ingham County Prosecutor's Office against Josh King, Donnie Corley and Demetric Vance are deeply disturbing. Sexual violence is abhorrent, and our thoughts are with the young woman and her family at this difficult time."
Cody said MSU could not comment on the Title IX investigation, but reiterated the university has "strong policies in place and a longstanding commitment to do all we can to prevent sexual assault, to encourage speedy reporting when it does occur, and to support victims."
MSU is being sued by more than 95 women in connection with alleged sexual assaults by former university doctor Larry Nassar. Nassar's criminal cases in Eaton and Ingham counties and in federal court are pending.
MSU is also being sued in federal court by four women who say the university failed to adequately respond to their sexual assault complaints and protect them from retaliation. That lawsuit is unrelated to Nassar and came months after a federal investigation into how MSU handled sexual assault and harassment complaints on campus.
Blackwell, 39, had been the team's director of college advancement and performance at the time of the suspension.
Last month, Dantonio decided not to renew Blackwell's contract, which was set to expire May 31. The contract previously had been extended twice, a month at a time.
A report released on Monday from the law firm Jones Day, hired by MSU to investigate the football program's handling of two reported sexual assaults, determined that there's evidence Blackwell violated university policy.
The law firm was "unable to gauge the severity" of potential policy violations because Blackwell declined to be interviewed.
Prosecutors declined to authorize criminal charges against Blackwell.

Hinchinbrook Island, tropical northern Queensland
A tropical island in Northern Queensland, Hinchinbrook Island is between the mainland and the UNESCO World Heritage sited Great Barrier Reef.
Most of the island (along with the Hinchinbrook Channel and neighbouring Goold Island) is part of the Hinchinbrook Island National Park.
The island is 399 square kilometers, making it the country's largest island national park.
The island has no road network – the only way to get around is via ferry or by walking. This is not a destination for those seeking the trappings of a luxurious all-inclusive resort. But if you're looking for peace and quiet and enjoying the environment – not jet skis, nightclubs, and hustle and bustle – this is the place for you.
Hayman Island, Whitsundays, Queensland
Hayman Island is the northernmost island of the famed continental Whitsunday group. It totals less than 300 hectares, with its resort taking up 13 hectares.
The island is known for its 5-star resort, which caters to couples, honeymooners, and families, and hosts weddings, honeymoons, and conferences. Weddings in particular are very popular on Hayman Island, with wedding consultants who can plan every detail for weddings ranging from the most simple and exclusive to the most extravagant.
Natural environment
Hayman Island is a typical picturesque tropical island, with white sand beaches, forest, bushland, hills, rocky outcrops, ponds, waterfalls, and bays.
Hamilton Island, Whitsundays, Queensland
Hamilton Island is a popular member of the Whitsundays group in the Coral Sea, and is the second largest inhabited island in the chain. The 5-square kilometer island almost exclusively caters to the tourist industry and to island visitors, though the small number of island residents (less than 1,500) is growing to support tourist businesses.
The island attracts guests of all types, and offers a multitude of land- and water-based activities to suit all tastes.
Haggerstone Island an exclusive resort, Queensland
Haggerstone Island is a remote, exclusive, and intimate island within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and off shore from the Cape York Peninsula. It is located over 100 miles from the nearest habitation, and guests must make a concerted effort to reach Haggerstone, as the island is accessible only by private light aircraft.
The island is owned by Anna and Roy Turner, and is one of Australia's most exclusive private island resorts. The Turners were inspired to construct a Robinson Crusoe –style retreat. This is not a vacation experience for those who enjoy the trappings of an all-inclusive resort experience. But for those seeking solitude, immersion in nature, healthy freshly-caught cuisine, and a break from the fast-paced world of work and electronics, this is the island for you.
Green Island coral cay, Queensland
Green Island is a beautiful coral cay off the coast of Northern Queensland, almost 30km off the coast from Cairns, and situated within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park UNESCO World Heritage area.
The popular island destination is easily accessible by day trip from Cairns. The island totals about 15 hectares (300m by 650m, with a 1.5km circumference) but sits on over 700 hectares of reef, and located amidst substantive and beautifully diverse coral reefs. Green Island is the only coral cay within the Great Barrier Reef chain that also has a rainforest.
Great Palm Island, Queensland
Known as Palm Island, Great Palm Island, or by its Aboriginal name "Bwgcolman," this 64-square kilometer island is the largest in the Greater Palm group, and is located 65km north-west of Townsville in Queensland.
The island is home to a self-governing Aboriginal community called Bwgcolman. In total about a few thousand folks call Palm Island home. The town's small island goes by several names, from the Mission, Palm Island, Palm Island Settlement to Palm Community.
Palm Island was named by Captain Cook due to the cabbage tree palms growing on the island during his exploratory travels.
Great Keppel Island, Queensland
Great Keppel Island is the largest island in the group of fourteen islands of the same name. It's also known as Wappaburra, which means "resting place."
The 1,400 hectare island is located 15km offshore from Keppel Bay town of Yeppoon, in Central Queensland, or 55km from Rockhampton.
Great Keppel can be visited for a day trip or an extended trip, and has something to offer all types of visitors – single travelers, families, and couples. The island's economic centre is along Fisherman's beach, where the vast majority of businesses are located.
Fraser Island, Queensland, World's Largest Sand Island
Fraser Island is one of Queensland's most popular destinations. A UNESCO World Heritage Site-listed island, and the largest sand island on the planet (totaling 1840km2), Fraser also boasts the world's only rainforest that grows on sand. Fraser Island is situated near Hervey Bay, is 120km long by 30km across its widest point.
Fraser Island boasts a 120km beach along the eastern shore.
Remote and deserted Fraser is not: the island welcomes about 600,000 visitors a year, but for good reason.
Pumpkin Island, Queensland, Unspoiled Eco-friendly
Pumpkin Island is a beautiful and humble little island along the Capricorn Coast, within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Reserve. The island is situated 16km off the coast of Yeppoon, 10km north of Great Keppel Island, 42km east of Rockhampton, and over 650km north of Brisbane.
Totaling just 6.1 hectares (450M long and just 150M wide at the widest point!), the island is nestled in sheltered Keppel Bay, and surrounded by the Keppel group of islands (just south of North Keppel Island). The privately-owned island offers visitors eco-friendly accommodation in but five self-contained and self-catered beach cottages. Wind and solar power provide electricity on the island, and freshly filtered rainwater provides drinking water for guests.
Daydream Island, Whitsundays, Queensland
Daydream Island is a stunning and quiet island located in the Whitsunday's island chain within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. The Whitsundays Coast Islands are probably the most famous of all of the Queensland Islands, totaling 74 different islands.
Daydream Island – one kilometer long and half a kilometer wide – is well-suited for couples and families.
Natural environment
Daydream Island has three beaches, one of which – Lover's Cove Beach – is surrounded by live coral and diverse fish life, providing a great venue for snorkeling right from the beach.

What are the risks of investing in IDNs?
As with ASCII one major risk is buying rubbish, although this can be avoided. Evaluate the name before you buy. We did this largely buy searching the terms on Google, although many of the languages we bought didn't even get indexed until after we had invested. Google images can be very telling and Google Trends is also very useful. Also look for Adsense. Commercial terms have adsense in most languages.
The biggest risk in domaining is coming second. That applies to IDN just as it always did to ASCII.IDN.IDN is essential for Right to Left scripts. Their introduction will bring publicity and clarity and will start to spur the market. They will bring new opportunities in some ccTLDs. They will not, however, fundamentally change the market. The real opportunities now lie mainly in the secondary market. There is growing appreciation of this even amongst established ASCII players. 2008 will develop into a bun fight, but I will for the most part be sitting on the sidelines.
please help.
I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
