Global Finance and Social Europe
Edited by John Grahl
Chapter 3: Europe's Financial Systems Under Pressure
Marica Frangakis
Marica Frangakis INTRODUCTION 3.1 Since the 1980s, the financial systems of the member states of the EU have come under increasing competitive pressure, as a result of developments both on the global and on the European level. On the global level, the collapse of the Bretton Woods agreement and of the system of fixed exchange rates, followed by the two oil crises in the 1970s, marks the end of the era during which governments stabilized their economies by fiscal and monetary policies and public sector activity, with limited or occasional interference from the financial markets.1 This period is also known as the era of 'financial repression', denoting the fact that restrictions on international capital movement permitted many governments to maintain very low rates of interest, sometimes even negative in real terms (Toporowski, 2005). Thus, the post-World War II dollar standard system of fixed exchange rates gave way to a liberalization and privatization thrust in economic policy both in the advanced and in the less developed countries in the late 1970s, introducing greater reliance on markets domestically and internationally.2 On the European level, developments were equally dramatic. As early as 1983, a White Paper on financial integration by the European Commission called for greater liberalization in the area of European finance.3 Following the 1986 Single European Act, the 1988 Council directive on the liberalization of capital controls, the 1992 Treaty on the European Union, the introduction of the single currency in 1999 and the Financial Services Action Plan (1999–2005), various...

Kevin Perreault, Billings, Montana
"I have known Rick Moore for over a decade and he has worked on many of my automotive projects, the biggest one was a complete restoration of our 1969 Camaro RS in 2009. This was a huge undertaking that required extensive body work. Rick not only did the flawless bodywork and paint, he performed nearly every aspect of the restoration. The only job not performed by Rick was recovering the seats and the headliner install. Having our car in one location to get the entire project complete was invaluable. The best thing about having Rick perform our restoration is in a word: trust. If Rick says he has 90 hours into your car, rest assured it's 90 hours. When it comes time for our next project, it will be performed by Rick."
dan & nancy mcdonald, cody, wyoming
"Talk about one-stop shopping, Rick Moore's shop took this 1956 post from brake lines to first place at the 2008, Chase Hawks/Burn The Point Top of Show Winner in Billings, Montana. We are very pleased."
Jim turner, Washington, utah
I found "olblue" in Southern Colorado in January, 2008. I searched Craiglist and other sources for eight months for a "rust free" unmolested car. I wanted to build a sleeper, something I could drive every day comfortably and have a minimum amount of body or paint work. I wanted to build a "C4" performance suspension, "LS3" engine and a "4L85E" transmission. I wanted it to be a total surprise to anyone who looked under the car or opened the hood. My friend Rick and I made the trip from Belfry, Montana to Colorado to inspect this so called original, rust free car. It turned out "olblue" was just what they said it was, no rust, never had a radio, never had a mirror mounted on the outside, original paint with one little ding on the right door. I was excited! We loaded it up and brought it back to Montana. Let the fun begin! With Rick & little Ricky's help and many $$$$$. I drove "olblue" the first time on October 15, 2010. The journey could not have been completed with-out Rick's expertise, knowledge and patience with me asking questions on a daily basis. He was there every step of the way.
mike ogston, saginaw, minnesota
"I have been working with RR Frames for four years. I have built three 1955 Chevys, all with Corvette independent rear and front suspension; one with an LS1 engine, one with an LS2 engine with a 6-speed Tremec transmission. The '55 I am finishing is an LS3 hot-cam with a 4L65E transmission. Rick has been very helpful any time I had a question; I could call him and he always had an answer. These '55 Chevys drive and handle like a Corvette. They are a fun car to own and drive."

The fun thing about making roast beef at home is you can impart it with whatever flavor you want! I'm so excited to share my roast beef rub recipe.
If you've ever cooked an eye of round beef roast before, it can be a tough cut of meat. Eye of round is from a tough part of the cow, that works hard and is extra lean. The wonderful part of eye of round, is that you can make a terrific roast beef with it, and it's a cheap cut!
When it comes to preparing a great eye of round, you want to have a great roast beef rub recipe! That's where I come in! Let's get cooking!
The way to bake an eye of round is very unique but it works. You bake it at 500 degrees for a short time and then turn the oven off. It's fairly fool proof but I have some notes below to help you get it right!
The Roast Beef Rub Recipe
Roast Beef Rub Recipe with Eye of Round
Take an inexpensive cut of meat and make it SHINE!
- 1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1/2 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano (measure after chopped)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon smoked salt – I get all my spices from Gneiss Spice Company
- 2 cloves finely chopped garlic
- 2-3 tablespoons brown mustard
- Eye of round roast
- Weigh your roast, you need this information for the correct cooking time. Pre-heat oven to 500 degrees.
- Brush a thin layer of mustard all around the roast.
- Mix your spices together in a small bowl.
- Sprinkle all the spices on your roast. I used ALL my rub on my 3.5 pound roast.
- Cook your roast in an uncovered dutch oven or roasting pan.
- You need to cook your roast for 7 minutes per pound and then you turn the oven off! You leave the roast in the oven WITHOUT opening the door for 2 and a half hours. I know it sounds crazy but that is how you get the nice spiced crust and a tender center. Literally perfect roast beef! After the 2.5 hours, Check the temperature I find 130 degrees is about perfect.
- Slice and serve! I use my electric knife for thin slices!
Helpful Equipment- dutch oven or roasting pan

Roast Beef Rub Recipe in Summary
- Spice liberally!
- Roast your eye of round at 500 degrees for 7 minutes per pound.
- Turn off your oven and continue to roast for 2.5.
- If you have a gas oven – consider turning the oven down to the lowest it will go, as gas ovens don't hold the heat well. I have a gas oven, and don't do this. I have a pizza stone in my oven, I preheat for at least 30 minutes and keep the oven light on. Just don't open the oven!
I hope you enjoyed this roast beef rub recipe!
P.S. If you need some potatoes to go with this meat! Try my Sour Cream and Onion Mashed Potatoes!

The virtual fit models eradicate the price and time involved in the creation of bodily samples, and the type is accepted in the first try. The virtual fit fashions might help the customers to visualize the mass-custom-made product earlier than making the purchase. The right type of materials might be chosen as per the shopper's alternative after which the virtual fit and look of the clothing can be evaluated before making the acquisition determination.

Multiprocessing, the flexibility to run a number of packages, every in a definite partition of the mainframe's memory, was a technical breakthrough that arrived within the Sixties. Since then, companies have continued to require ever extra computing energy and flexibility, and the level of complexity of software solutions has elevated significantly.

I received this book for free from Purchased in exchange for an honest review.
This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
by Carolyn Crane
Released: February 28, 2012
Series: The Disillusionists #3.5
Pages: 105
Format: eARC
Simon's crazy recklessness is what made him a Disillusionist, no gamble is too small for him, no risk to big to take, all in his effort to defy fate, a fate that would have had him die 13 years earlier. Fawna is caged with her knowledge of the future and Simon's devil-may-care fuck you attitude to fate both fascinates and repels her, she longs to be free of her cage as Simon seems to be free of his. But Fawna has seen the death that awaits in Simon's future is desparate to stop it.The Disillusionist Trilogy was one of my favourite series last year, they were original and fun with an array of quirky characters. None quirkier then Simon, he isn't your typical hero, his reckless headlong stumbling from high to low, to having lots and losing everything, his irresponsibility isn't normally a trait attributed to our heroes. But his charisma pours off the pages and I am so glad he got a novella of his own! Fawna was also another quirky one, she is weird and wacky but wonderful and although a lot of heroines with a nasty past such as hers would be down with the brooding, she has decided to embrace her new life.
As with the Disillusionist Ttrilogy the writing is fantastic, it draws you in, it is very emotive making you feel like you are right their experiencing everything with the characters. Although this is a fairly short novella, a lot is packed in without it feeling rushed and it leaves me desperately waiting to see what Carolyn Crane will write next!
Favourite Quotes:
No doubt he chose those jeans specifically for their butt-hugging abilities. He probably practiced that hug-promoting movement in the mirror.
"Maybe it's my magic wong. Does wonders for the ladies."
"Sometimes," Packard said, "having nothing to lose is something to lose"

Annnnnd I will stop myself there, before I start waxing lyrical about my love of historical romance and fantasy as well; no one needs to know about my elf fantasies. As you can tell, I adore and day dream about most romance genres, and my three big loves are 1) reading about romance 2) writing about romance and 3) talking about romance with my gals. Which, is why I love Under the Covers so much, I get all my bookish needs satisfied and don't get judged when I talk about my favourite characters like they are real people. Which they are right?

I'm so excited to share that we have recently launched a new Public Service Announcement (PSA): Chirp the News! The PSA introduces HHF's new mascot, a baby chicken.
Why a baby chicken?
The key to restoring hearing in humans is to regenerate cells deep within the inner ear. In fact, most types of hearing loss in humans results from damage to these cells, called hair cells. While humans cannot regenerate hair cells in the inner ear after they are damaged, chickens can. In fact, most animals other than mammals can regenerate these delicate cells, restoring their hearing spontaneously after damage.
This knowledge is the basis for our Hearing Restoration Project (HRP). The HRP is a consortium of over a dozen top scientists from across the world working collaboratively to take what we know happens in chickens and translate that to people. Our HRP scientists estimate clinical trials testing a genuine, biologic cure for hearing loss can occur within the next decade. Since over 90 percent of tinnitus cases occur with an underlying hearing loss, a cure for hearing loss is also likely the key to a cure for tinnitus.
Most scientific research is conducted in isolation: one researcher or one lab trying to solve a major health issue. Our unique HRP consortium model is breaking the mold by encouraging our scientists to work as a team sharing data, tools, resources, and ideas. By working collaboratively, the timeline to a cure is expedited: five times as fast with the power of collaboration.
We won't be able to get to a cure for hearing loss and tinnitus without your help—please donate today and be a part of the cure.

Financial Liability and Reputational Risk
Financial Liability and Reputational Risk
Without doubt the most important question you need answering before you consider using our service.
Financial Risk
All work carried out by us, or our Legal and Insurance partners, is done without financial risk to your institution. We all operate on what is commonly referred to as 'No Win No Fee'.
In strict terms what this means is that all work carried out by us, from initial audit to the conclusion of the case is done at no upfront cost to you. You are not required to pay for any element of the report or, should you proceed with a claim, any associated upfront costs, such as Issue Fees, Barrister Costs or Expert Opinion costs.
Only should we be successful in the claim will you be required to pay a fee. This fee will be an agreed percentage of the savings made by you and made clear prior to you entering into an agreement with us.
For example, should a claim result in the future payments under the agreement being cancelled, then the fee will be a percentage of these savings. The exact percentage will be as stated in the agreement and will depend on when the claim is successfully completed and to what extent costs have been paid out to win the case.
Our legal and Insurance partners work in a similar fashion. There will only be a financial liability to them if the case is successful. These costs will be covered either by the success fee or if appropriate by the Finance Company or Supplier. You will not be liable for any other claim associated costs apart from the 'success fee'
In all cases we will ensure that before any action is taken, and at any time whilst action is being taken, that the potential outcome will ensure that all cost liabilities will be covered by the savings and/or return of capital to the institution. Thereby ensuring that there is no Financial Liability left on the institution.
Should the claim prove unsuccessful then the only financial liability to the institution will be to pay any payments due to the defendant that may have been withheld during the process. These will have been payable in any case, so the institution will be in a no worse situation.
The only exception to the above, is should there be a breach of contract, as detailed in the agreement, then the institution may become liable for fees for work carried out by both LAS and the Legal partners.
The most probable scenario to this, is if having started the claim process, the institution accepts a settlement direct from the defendant without recourse to LAS or its legal partner, with the aim of not having to pay the success fee, then this could be deemed a breach of contract and result in a fee being payable.
Reputational Risk
We will ensure always that both the institution and it personnel, present and past, will not suffer from any reputational risk.
If there is any possibility of this then we will advise that the case be closed without further action or financial liability.

"I will never stop being ravenously hungry for science, no matter how well it feeds me." (276)
In her memoir Lab Girl, Hope Jahren tells the behind-the-scenes tales you don't always hear about becoming a renowned scientist. Down to earth and with a penchant for the downright comical, Jahren takes readers on her journey from growing up in small town Minnesota, through a graduate degree at Berkeley, and brings us along for the ride as she establishes labs across the country in the male-dominated field of geoscience. Lab Girl effectively toes the line between the personal and the scientific, offering up botanical tidbits not only as a means of educating the non-botanists among us but also as a framework for the parallels of life on earth. Jahren's language is elevated and witty in a way that belies expertise in academic writing, but certainly never talks down to her audience, and—best of all—she never gets preachy. While some women scientists use print media to advance their soapbox campaign for the fight towards equality, Jahren simply tells her story. Through this, readers are inoculated in the unremarkable (yet sometimes frustratingly novel) idea that some top-tier scientists are women. And if breaking one barrier in science wasn't enough, Jahren also elucidates the mental health catastrophe that percolates under the surface of many academics. Describing in biting detail her own struggles with manic depression, Jahren shatters the perceptions that it's okay to keep silent about the need for medical intervention and public acceptance of mental health in the academy and beyond. In all, Jahren's journey is mesmerizing, and should be required reading for those of us in the sciences, and beyond, because only by talking across disciplinary lines can we advance the understanding of our world. After all, "the future will be splendid and full of miracles and you can taste its coming", so why wouldn't you want to experience one of the brilliant minds that is working to advance it.

KABUL — Afghanistan's defense minister and army chief of staff resigned Monday after the deadliest Taliban attack on a military base, threatening to overshadow a visit by US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis as Washington looks to craft a new strategy for the country.
Mattis was expected to meet Afghan officials and US commanders who are pushing for more troops. But his arrival in Kabul came amid the fallout from Friday's Taliban assault on a base in the north of the country in which more than 140 Afghan soldiers were killed.
"Defence Minister Abdullah Habibi and Army Chief of Staff Qadam Shah Shahim stepped down with immediate effect," the office of Afghan President Ashraf Ghani announced in a post on its Twitter account.
Shah Hussain Murtazawi, acting spokesman for Ghani, told Reuters the resignations were because of Friday's attack on a major army base in the city of Mazar-i-Sharif.
Ghani's office also announced that he had replaced the commanders of four army corps in response to the attack, and defense officials said as many as eight army personnel had been arrested — heightening suspicions the attackers had inside help.
The attack underlines the scale of the challenge facing the Western-backed government and its international partners more than 15 years after the US invaded the country.
Habibi had come under intense pressure from Afghan lawmakers following an Islamic State attack on a Kabul military hospital in March.
At a news conference on Monday, Habibi and Shahim insisted their resignations were voluntary.
"We should always look for solutions to problems, and therefore I have decided that there should be another guardian standing guard," Habibi told reporters.
Deadly attack
In a serious security failure, as many as 10 Taliban fighters, dressed in Afghan army uniforms and driving military vehicles, made their way onto the base and opened fire on soldiers and new recruits eating a meal and leaving a mosque after Friday prayers, according to officials.
Multiple Afghan officials said the final death toll was likely to be even higher.
A senior US official said, based on intelligence and the types of tactics used, the Taliban-linked Haqqani network most likely played a role.
"This is very typical Haqqani network tactics, techniques, and procedures," said the official, adding that the US believed it took four to six months to plan the attack.
Ghani declared Sunday a day of mourning for those who died, ordering flags to be flown at half staff.
The attack came just over a week after the US dropped a 22,000-pound bomb, known as the "mother of all bombs," against a series of Islamic State caves and tunnels near the border with Pakistan.
US officials say they were surprised by the level of attention that particular bomb got, since it did little to change the overall situation ground where the larger threat remained the Taliban, not the Islamic State.
More troops
US officials acknowledge that Afghanistan has rarely in recent years been considered a priority by decision-makers, who have instead been consumed by Syria, Iraq, and, increasingly, North Korea.
But there are signs the administration of new President Donald Trump is making progress in crafting a policy for Afghanistan.
Trump's national security adviser, H.R. McMaster, visited Afghanistan this month, becoming the first senior official from the new administration to do so.
US officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said an interagency review was under way, which could take several weeks, to determine the goals and milestones for the US in Afghanistan.
The Afghan army is preparing for what is expected to be a year of hard fighting against Taliban militants, who now control or contest more than 40% of the country.
Nearly 9,000 US troops remain in Afghanistan, in addition to thousands of international coalition forces.
General John Nicholson, the top US commander in Afghanistan, recently told a congressional hearing he needed several thousand more international troops to break a stalemate in the long war with Taliban insurgents.
US officials say Nicholson's request was making its way through the chain of command. Conversations, however, according to current and former officials, were revolving around 3,000 to 5,000 additional troops.
One official said there was an emphasis on creating a strategy that was not tied to artificial deadlines. President Barack Obama had wanted to reduce the number of US troops in Afghanistan before he left office.
While Mattis is no stranger to Afghanistan — he served there and was also the head of US Central Command — there are questions about what a few thousand additional US troops can achieve in the country.
"Let's face it: No matter how many troops you may send to Afghanistan it is going to be very difficult to end the war — we had 100,000 troops fighting in Afghanistan during height of the surge and we didn't end the war," said Michael Kugelman, a South Asia expert at the Woodrow Wilson Center.

Fredericton's Morgentaler Clinic Is Closing, And Here's Why You Should Care
This is just next door to me provincially speaking. Please signalboost.
This morning the Morgentaler abortion clinic in Fredericton, New Brunswick announced that it will be closing in July of this year due to lack of funding.
The Morgentaler clinic is the only abortion clinic in New Brunswick. In fact, aside from the Athena clinic in Newfoundland, it is the only abortion clinic east of Montreal. It serves not only the population of New Brunswick, but also that of Prince Edward Island. Currently, abortions in those provinces are not covered by medicare – in fact, Regulation 84-20 of New Brunswick's Medical Services Payment act includes the following under procedures which are "are deemed not to be entitled services":

Wedding Photography - The Proposal
I've shot a number of engagement sessions, parties, and portraits over the years, but I had never shot the proposal itself.
I've heard in the past of photographers superstitiously photographing a proposal, but I'd never been contacted to photograph one myself. Until recently.
These images are from Joe and Liz's engagement in Philadelphia.

Harden's survey result
"One of the most memorable meals I have ever had…", "an out-of-this-world experience…", "just magical…" – folks don't hold back in their praise for the Close family's restaurant-with-rooms, set in an off-the-beaten-track village in County Durham, which "balances a modern kitchen and a clubby old-school dining room of dark wood panelling very effectively" and serves a "15-course menu of superb cooking coupled with great invention (to leave us gushing over a 'salad of winter vegetables' is deeply impressive!)". Some resistance crept in regarding the level of expense however this year: even those who rate the cuisine highly can find the overall experience "overpriced".
"I cried it was so good!"… "the single most satisfying food I've eaten in my 35 years on the planet!" … "James Close is one of the top, top chefs in the country and his incredible passion is shown in every detail" at this restaurant-with-rooms, "set in an unimposing, out-of-the-way village, in the Durham Dales". That said, since it was awarded two Michelin Stars its ratings actually declined a fraction this year as it took flak for a couple of disappointing experiences. Perhaps, though, it was the strain of preparing to have the builders in? (Towards the end of the survey, in May 2017, the restaurant closed for a £400k extension and redevelopment, the building of a new restaurant entrance, and the installation of glass walls so diners can watch the chef and his team at work.)
James Close's "hidden gem is now getting the accolades it deserves": in October 2016 it was the only establishment to be elevated to two Michelin stars in this year's crop of awards. He runs "a really down-to-earth team" who make "wonderful use of local ingredients" to create food that's "delicious, subtle and well-presented, but also honest and wholesome rather than 'too-clever-by-half'". To cap it all, this restaurant with rooms is "beautifully located" too, in the Durham Dales.
"Tucked away in the Durham Dales", James Close's restaurant (with two rooms) revolves around "an ethos of showing off local ingredients to their best effect". "Down-to-earth" staff provide a choice of "clever and delicious" tasting menus, of which the best dishes are "a revelation in simple but confident cooking".

Taylor Swift's Christmas-Themed Birthday Party Looked Absolutely Epic (Photos)
While I spent the weekend sitting home alone petting my dogs and watching Netflix, Taylor Swift was partying it up at her Christmas-themed birthday party.
The 1989 star turned 26 on December 13, so Taylor and her closest friends celebrated at Apple executive Jimmy Iovine's home in Malibu.
The holiday banger was thrown to celebrate the birthdays of T Swift and Iovine's daughter, Jessica. (Happy birthday, Jessica.)
Of course, Calvin Harris was there. It looks like he and Taylor are still going strong.
HBD, Taylor! Love, me and your sexy boyfriend.
Cool, Taylor, where was my invite?
On Sunday, Taylor also announced a movie version of her 1989 tour will be coming out on Apple Music next week.
Man, time sure does fly. It feels like yesterday Taylor was just a 16-year-old with teardrops on her guitar.
Now, she's four years away from turning 30. Damn.
LOVE YOU, TAYLOR, HAPPY FREAKING BIRTHDAY, GIRLFRIEND. Oh, and my birthday is in a month, just saying.

The design was inspired by a single piece of furniture that modernizes wine storage. The focus of the room is the wine console that holds 160+ bottles of wine, all stored properly and kept dark. Each drawer is lined with a cushioned felt and all equipped with soft close. The piece is made from steel with walnut drawers fabricated from single boards to display continuous grain pattern. Supportive wine storage was integrated into the design made from blackened steel and walnut. The walnut shelving is capped with steel giving the owners freedom to chalk the shelves with the name, region, producer, and varietal of their wine. Above the console are wall-mounted shelves displaying wine behind perforated steel.

My Favorite Art Museums In Paris
If anyone knows me well, they know how much impact art has on my life. Growing up, I was a hard-trained athlete and my life revolved around sports and the importance of accountability. I wouldn't trade that for anything in the world because it has shaped me into who I am today. Fast forward ten years to my senior year or high school. As all senior years in high school tend to go, I had a light schedule and decided to take an art class for fun. I grew up with a nana who was (and still is!) an artist, so I figured a little creativity might be a nice daily break from my insane sports schedule. I fell in love. Growing up I always thought I had a little creativity in me— I was a great writer and was good at creative things but never did I know this would become my biggest passion in life and my ultimate inspiration. Going to museums is one of my favorite past times, most often I prefer to go alone. My last trip to Paris I actually did a solo trip and it was my first time out of the country alone. I was able to spend my days as I wanted, be immersed in my thoughts and wander through museums and the streets of Paris, quietly taking it all in. Naturally, I wanted to share my five favorite museums in Paris, full of inspiration and beauty, that you must visit.
1. Musée Rodin
Rodin is one of my all time favorite artists. I think bodies are one of the most beautiful forms of art and his sculptures and sketches are incredibly raw and sensual. My favorite piece of art is his Cathedral hands and the moment I saw it in real life there was a part of me that felt even more deeply connect to it.
2. Musée Picasso
Another one of my favorites, Picasso, has a beautiful museum in Le Marais. Other than admiring his work and being inspired by all that he exudes, there is a cute little wine bar that faces the museum, so you can enjoy orange wine and listen to the beautiful streets of Paris.
3. Atelier Brancusi
This beautiful space is set up and displayed as if Constantin Brancusi was still creating work in there. He created the majority of his work at varies studios throughout his life in Paris. This has to be one of the most visually inspiring places I've seen in Paris and I wish I was able to take everything to cherish in my own home.
4. Musée d'Orsay
Musée d'Orsay was breathtaking. It felt like an endless maze of beautiful art, extremely curated and eclectic. I love to go to this museum when it's raining outside, take my time going through every room and enjoy the sculptures along the way.
5. The Lourve
The iconic visit to this museum is a must. Depending on how much time you have, you could really spend your whole day here! I walked so much during my trip and the Lourve was often my halfway point from Le Marais to St-Germain, so I would find a bench and admire the exterior architecture and echoing sounds.

With mud map in hand and directions from Rhett we left the homestead and opened the "gate to adventure". Viagra was at point with Crock as chief navigator.
After negotiating a somewhat plugger unfriendly track we arrived at Wildfire Gorge. Those from the Southern half of the country had a swim in the slightly chilly pool. A further 200 metres up track we had another dip in the crystal clear Emerald Pool.
The Olympic diving trials were then held at Ink Pool with Crock mastering the water up the nose feet first entry. It was here that Walt and Jo joined us and we switched to the now famous channel 27.
A slightly wrong turn and a few kmilometres later we arrived at the Waterslide. The track in was definate plugger blowing territory and those of us with Tevas made the switch. Crock negotiated the track in his pluggers and sadly suffered a blow out. A bread tag later and the pluggers are as good as new (well nearly). The Waterslide provided us with great entertainment, although some new bathers may need to be purchased.
After some twitching at Flying Fox Swamp we traversed the track into Nudie Springs. Along the way we were entertained by the mermaid joke. Despite the radio crowd being a tough audience for a sit down comedian, Crock was rewarded with feedback from numerous other cars who had been listening on channel 27 during the day. They wanted to know when his next performance would be.
Nudie Springs come out of the ground at 50 degrees and cool to a pleasant 34 degrees at the swimming area. This was a popular spot for an afternoon swim with lots of people choosing to enjoy the warm, relaxing pool. Despite the name on this occasion most people chose to wear their bathing costumes and there were no white whales to be seen. They must be extinct in the golf country.
Dazza was on cooking duties and skippy stead and snags were on the menu. An early night for most of us as a big day tomorrow out to Borroloola and beyond.

The origins of the Sun Salutation/Surya Namaskara are uncertain. The earliest text illustrating the classic Sun Salutation we practise today, was written in the 1930s by Krishnamacharya. But it is not known if he was simply recording a sequence handed down for centuries from teacher to teacher or if he created it himself. He went on to teach the sequence to his students, including K. Pattabhi Jois and K.B.S Iyengar.
Traditionally practised in the morning as a salute to the rising sun, the Sun Salutation/Surya Namaskara is multi functional and can actually be practised at any time of the day. When practised in the morning it wakes up the system and gets you ready for the day ahead. Practised in the evening it helps you unwind and relax. It is the perfect way to start building a home practice. The three versions strengthen and stretch all the main muscle groups, build stamina and prepare for more challenging asana. They also build heat and increase circulation throughout the whole system, which aids digestion and benefits all the internal organs.
The repetitive and meditative quality of the movements relaxes the mind and body, reducing stress and anxiety and increasing mental clarity. As you move through each pose in the Sun Salutation/Surya Namaskara, you take either an in-breath or an out-breath. This makes it a good start to your practice and establishes the link between the breath and the movement. When done slowly it also encourages a calm breath which triggers the parasympathetic nervous system.
There are three main versions of Sun Salutation/Surya Namaskara. Sun Salutation/Surya Namaskara C, also called Sun Salutation/Surya Namaskara Classic, is the best version to start any practice with. You step back from your first Forward Fold/Uttanasana, to Anjaneyasana/Low Lunge, which is kinder on the joints while you give your system a chance to warm up. It also offers a softer decline to the floor through Knees, Chest, Chin, rather than Chaturanga Dandasana/Four Limb Pose. Coming all the way down to the ground offers a gentler backbend with Bhujangasana/Cobra, instead of a full Urdhva Mukha Svanasana/Upward Facing Dog. You can also incorporate a soft bend in the knees for the forward folds, allowing time for the hamstrings to warm up.
Sun Salutation A, or Surynamaskara A, is also the perfect way to start to your practice. Chose from one of the two option for Sun Salutation A above. In the first option you come down to the floor through Knees, Chest, Chin. You can stay with this version if it suits or move to the second option of Chaturanga Dandasana/Four Limb Pose and Urdhva Mukha Svanasana/Upward Facing Dog when your shoulders and back are warmed up enough to support the correct alignment.
Sun Salutation/Surya Namaskara B, or Sun Salutation/Surya Namaskara B, is actually the most challenging version of the three. It builds on the poses of Sun Salutation/Surya Namaskara A, with the addition of Utkatasana/Chair, and Virabhadrasana I/Warrior I. Warrior I requires your hips to be very open, and exposes any instabilities or tightness you might have in knees, hips or lower back. It also offers a lovely stretch in the psoas, strengthens and stretches the thigh, calves and ankles, and stretches the shoulder and neck when the raised arms are added into the pose.
Click on any of the above sequences and print them out to use as a visual aid for your next home practice.
To save the images on your phone click and hold down image until the 'save image' option appears; on Mac hold down 'control' and click the image to get the option box; on PC right click on the image to get the option box. Scroll down in the 'option box' and click 'save image'.

Medical Screening
Do you have any ongoing medical conditions for which you require long-term treatment or medications?
No, I do not.
Are you aware of any allergies you may have to foods, medications or environmental elements? If so, please list them below along with age of onset.
I get a little sneezy in the springtime, probably from all the pollen in the air. I don't think I'm really deathly allergic to anything, though.
Do you take any other medications or drugs not prescribed to you, or participate in the consumption of alcohol or tobacco?
I don't touch drugs or alcohol, because I don't want to take in anything that might cloud my mind. I need to be alert to the purposes Father has for me.
Environmental Screening
Where were you born and where did you grow up? What was it like there?
I was born in Chatham, Kent. I grew up in a small, three bedroom flat above a shop owned by my maternal grandparents. There were six of us in that flat, and I'm the eldest. I shared a room with my younger sister, Corrine. My younger twin brothers, Colin and Cooper, also share a room. Mum and Dad raised us to be polite a respectful. We went to church every Sunday, prayed and read the Bible as a family, did our chores and homework, and were expected to behave ourselves in public. Really, I don't see why I had to be taken away from my family. Everybody ought to live like that.
What Clarice fails to mention is the fact that her father works in construction, and often has to be away at a job site, sometimes for days at a time. I have also been informed by Clarice's grandparents that her mother was in the habit of sleeping with other men while her husband was out of town. I don't know if Clarice is aware of her mother's infidelity, and even if she is, she would be in deep denial about it. Clarice was largely raised by her deeply religious maternal grandparents who live nearby, although she prefers to be seen as belonging to a more traditional family dynamic.
Please describe your relationships with your biological family, including parents, and siblings if applicable.
I obviously love my family. I was lucky to be born to parents who taught me to respect God and others. My brothers are young, only seven, and try to be good boys. Corrine, who is thirteen, is far too impressed by the trappings of the world, despite my attempts to persuade her away from such things.
Clarice's attempts to 'persuade' her sister have included her throwing away or destroying her sister's property such as make-up, clothing, and CDs. She feels that her sister is too young for the clothing and make-up she wears, that it is too revealing and provocative despite that by modern standards, her sister was often quite modestly dressed. She also disapproved of her sister listening to popular music, saying that popular music only serves to glorify wickedness. She's also gone so far as to write 'harlot' across her sister's forehead while Corrine was asleep, and also established a pattern of bullying and verbal abuse towards her.
How were/are you in school? How are your grades? Do you enjoy school?
I endure school because I know that Father expects his servants to educate themselves. My grades have never been at the top of my class, but I do try my best.
Clarice does not enjoy school largely because she does not enjoy other people. She feels that she should be exempted from school because she believes that she has a special status as an 'Instrument of God'.
Do you participate in any extracurricular activities or belong to any after-school clubs?
I do not. I devote myself fully to the worship of my God. If I didn't know that God wanted me to go to school and educate myself, I'd have given that up too.
If you no longer reside with your biological family, please describe any previous homes as well as your current situation.
I was taken away from my family six months ago, after that unfortunate incident involving my teacher. The woman running the group home I live in now won't tell me why I can't go home.
The 'incident', which I will go into more detail about below, involved Clarice harassing one of her teachers to the point where the woman resigned.
Do you have many/any friends? If so, please describe them.
I find children, particularly girls, my age hard to relate to. They don't understand me, and I don't want to be sucked into their shallowness.
Clarice holds herself above others, though she makes a show of being humble. She has little in common with her peers.
Are you sexually active? Are you aware of any gender preference, or preferences in intimate practices, activities or situations?
I believe in abstinence until marriage.
Clarice fears she may be bisexual, and worries that it makes her more common. She is sexually inexperienced not only due to her religious beliefs, but also because she doubts that there exists anyone worthy of her.
Have you ever knowingly committed a crime? Were you caught and convicted? If convicted, what was your sentencing?
I believe that the actions I took regarding my teacher were termed harassment, although that certainly wasn't my intent. As an educator of young minds, she ought to have known better. Most people my age are known to be extremely impressionable.
A teacher at Clarice's school, who taught both biology and sex ed, became the object of Clarice's wrath when not only did she refuse to teach creationism alongside evolution, but also urged the school to provide free condoms, and passed them out herself during her sex ed class. Clarice not only campaigned to have the teacher fired, but sent anonymous hate mail including death threats, graffitied her car, and lied about being sexually assaulted by the teacher. A court sent her to me for therapy, and removed her from her home, placing her in a home for troubled girls. She has a restraining order taken out against her by the teacher, and was required to complete two-hundred hours of community service.
Clinical Screening
Have you ever been diagnosed with any psychiatric ailments by a medical or psychiatric professional? If yes, please explain below.
When I was taken away from my parents, the therapist they sent me to diagnosed me as Narcissistic and Delusional. This is not true.
Clarice is deeply in denial about her problems. She not only holds herself above others as being special, but she also firmly believes that she has been chosen by God. When questioned about these beliefs, and how she arrived at that conclusion, she either becomes hostile, withdrawals, or quotes passages of the Bible. She doesn't appear to suffer from hallucinations regarding her relationship with God, or else she would surely hold those as proof of her 'purpose'. She has a hard time dealing with situations in which she feels ignored or belittled, and requires an unreasonable amount of praise from others in order to function on any sort of social level. She shows little remorse for her actions, although I am confident that she knows that they are wrong.
Please describe any incidents associated with these ailments, such as antisocial behaviours, social or environmental difficulties, incidents of self harming, suicidal thoughts, suicide attempts, substance abuse, etc.
In addition to her treatment of her sister and her teacher, Clarice habitually exploits others for her own gratification, expects special treatment, has an inflated sense of self-importance, and fails to see that how she treats other people is hurtful. In her current residence, she has antagonized not only her roommate, but also the other girls and the woman running the place. She feels that their refusal to accompany her to church (she is escorted to church by a worker at the place she's staying) is a rejection of her. The threat of not allowing her to attend church on Sundays is the only way to compel her to be amiable towards others.
Have you ever seen a licensed psychiatric professional, psychologist, or counsellor for these ailments? If yes, please list doctor(s) or counsellor(s) below:
I have a court-mandated therapist twice a week. Her name is Brenda Edwards.
Do you take any medications for any diagnosed psychiatric ailments? If yes, please list medication, dosage, and frequency of dosage below:
Risperdal 0.5 mg once daily. I don't like taking it because I don't need it, but they make me take it anyway. Obedience is a virtue, I guess.
Have you ever been admitted to a short or long-term psychiatric facility as a result of these ailments or associated incidents?
The group home I'm in now is supposed to be for 'disturbed' girls. Does that count?
Clarice is currently staying in a facility that cares for troubled girls. Many of the cases are of eating disorders or behavioral problems, and most of the girls are required to attend therapy. She does not attend school currently, instead being educated by a tutor who comes three days a week to instruct all of the fifty or so girls that live there. She had a short stay of two weeks in a mental facility before being assigned to her current residence.
How do you feel these ailments affect your quality of life or your situation in life?
I don't know, since I don't suffer from any ailments.
If you could be cured of your ailments, what would your goals in life be?
My goal in life is to be a good Christian woman.
How do you feel these goals would be best attained?
I always try and do my best to live a Christ-centered life. I also try and set a good example for others.
Why do you feel you are being referred to Highgrove, and by whom?
I cannot stay here because my roommate is a psychopath. She assaulted me for no reason--and when she really ought to be thanking me nonetheless--and continues to threaten me and use obscene language and gestures in my presence.
Clarice attempted to re-establish the pattern of dominance she enjoyed over her younger sister, antagonizing and destroying the property of her roommate. Unfortunately for Clarice, her roommate was not willing to be passive or docile. The young woman suffered from a conduct disorder, and attacked Clarice when she caught her trying to throw away most of her belongings. Clarice had already destroyed many of the items so that they were useless. Clarice was beaten so badly by her roommate that she required six stitches over her right eyebrow, and her left wrist was fractured. Despite this, she continued to antagonize the girl, including several attempts to frame her for various misbehaviors. I fear that Clarice is no longer safe in this environment.
Psychological Evaluation
The Spoken, Representative Interview
Hello, and thank you for meeting with me today. Our interview today will be recorded for review later. I'm going to ask you a series of questions, and I'd like for you to answer as fully as you are able. I'd like to start by asking you how you're feeling today.
Fine, thank you.
Patient Observation: Clarice appears composed and smiles pleasantly.
Okay. And how are you feeling about this opportunity to join our family at Highgrove?
Not to sound ungrateful, but I'd rather have my real family back, actually.
If you could alter one event in your life, what event do you think you would change or remove, and why?
If Father had removed this cup from my lips, perhaps I could have lived a more ordinary life. Although, while that might have been easier, I know Father has blessings stored up for me in the hereafter.
Patient Observation: Clarice speaks clearly, her head held high, her posture perfect, and an arrogant expression on her face. It's clear she believes what she's saying.
If you had to describe yourself in only three words, what words would you choose and why?
Good Christian Woman. I believe that this encompasses not only who I am now, but who I am trying to become.
How do you feel currently about your life so far, and anything you may have done?
I have done only what was required of me. Unfortunately, I can choose only my own actions, and not those of others.
Patient Observation: Clarice's tone turns condescending when she speaks of others.
What would you do if you found a stranger being attacked by another stranger, and why?
I would try and call for an authority figure. Failing that, I would intercede on the victim's behalf.
What would you do if you were being threatened by a stranger, and why?
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Patient Observation: Clarice holds eye contact as she tonelessly recites this passage. She cannot be coaxed to answer the question any other way.
Have you ever deliberately harmed yourself, another, or animals in the past? If so, why do you think that was?
No. What kind of person do you think I am?
Patient Observation: Clarice is clearly offended at this question, and her facial expression registers indignation and contempt.
And lastly, what do you hope to find at Highgrove, and how do you think this will help you to learn and grow?
I trust that if I go to Highgrove that Father has a purpose for sending me there. Is that all? May I be excused?
This concludes our interview for today. Thank you for filling out our application and speaking with me. We will contact you or your guardian shortly with our decision or recommendations.In the meantime, enjoy the rest of your day. Goodbye.
Out of Character Section
Is there anything your character is not telling us? Do they have any dirty or dark little secrets they're omitting from their application? Please explain below.
Clarice is indeed aware of her mother's infidelity, although she prefers an alternate explanation. When she was eleven, she overheard her paternal grandparents discussing her mother by saying something to the effect that Clarice might not be her father's child. Clarice believes that her biological father may be an angel or other divine personage. This, combined with her birthmark has lead Clarice to deeply believe that she is chosen of God to proclaim His gospel.

text: Share: Comments Print January 16, 2008 at 2:40 PM Macworld: Lighter than Air, but hard to catch Posted by mwatanabe Glenn Fleishman, one of the contributors to our Practical Mac column in the Personal Technology section, writes from the Macworld Exposition. SAN FRANCISCO — It's been 27 hours since Steve Jobs announced the new MacBook Air, and the crowd surrounding dozens of the laptops on tables on the show floor are still stacked two to three deep waiting for a chance to touch the new device. Two hours after the keynote, the line was six to eight people deep — perhaps 800 people in a clump around long tables — so this is an improvement. I was fortunate enough to have an Apple product briefing in a quiet room draped in black Tuesday, and was able to spend some time with the soon-to-be-released subcompact notebook. It's rather remarkable: Like the iPhone, from which it borrows some of its fit, finish, and features, it seems rather impossible even when I'm holding it. The 3-pound laptop is thin, emphasized by the tapering wedge design, which starts at three-quarters of an inch at the hinge and decreases to one-sixth inch, or less than three stacked pennies. In launching programs and performing tasks that involved still and moving images, the MacBook Air didn't lag. The 1.8 GHz Intel Core 2 processor in the model I was examining isn't much slower than the 2.0 GHz CPU found in the inexpensive plain old MacBook. The keyboard is quite good; Apple says it's the best laptop keyboard it has ever designed, and I'd put it among the better ones I've used, too. The price — $1,799 — seems to have earned the MacBook Air a label already: "the executive laptop." Several different longtime Apple users, journalists, and information technologists independently used that term, often as part of the phrase, "I wouldn't buy one, but my boss probably will." The reason is that most of us are willing to tough along with a machine that weighs 2 pounds more (a whopping 5 pounds), but which costs as much as $700 less for similar features. (The MacBook has a CD writer/DVD reader in its $1,099 configuration, or a CD/DVD burner or SuperDrive in its $1,299 model; a USB SuperDrive is $99 extra for a MacBook Air. The MacBook has 1 GB RAM in those two cheaper configurations; the Air, 2 GB.) An "executive" might trade weight to jettison ports they never use — there's no Ethernet jack, FireWire jack — in favor of a slim unit that has great battery life, works well even in (gasp) coach airline seating, and has the cachet of being the sexiest computer on the market. For the next few minutes at least. One item that raised a lot of interest at the show was Apple's inclusion of a solid-state drive (SSD) as a $999 upgrade option for 64 GB of storage. There's been a lot of interest in SSDs as prices of various kinds of flash memory have precipitously dropped. SSDs are supposed to use much less power, generate less heat, and work faster than the equivalent hard drive. Trouble is, Apple doesn't want to make any of those claims. In a briefing, I pressed an Apple product manager about the advantages of an SSD, especially at a thousand bucks additional, and received a very weak defense, rare for Apple. Battery life would be longer, right? Not so much. Heat would be less? Maybe. Less noise? Sure. The only real advantage was in the lack of moving parts. With no optical drive and no hard drive, the MacBook Air with an SSD would have a fan that would spin and no other moving parts of any kind. This potentially makes it more robust and resistent to shocks while in motion. But it's not designed to be a "rugged" laptop, a category that includes computers that can survive immersion in water and being run over by a Humvee. So the SSD's allure is rather mysterious. The only hint as to why an SSD is at all interesting comes in the fact that prices continue to drop. Which means that a thousand dollars today might be a few hundred dollars in just a few months, at which point Apple might warm up to the idea. Comments

So I know that strategically as blogging goes...I should either be a daily poster...or I should wait a few days to post again...but as we are becoming reacquainted on this new site I'll just remind you that kinda strategy just isn't my style. So I'm just gonna do something crazy and post an impromptu post!
I wanted to briefly share with you what the Lord has been teaching me recently. I've been reading through Acts with the IF: Equip reading plan (and I highly recommend it!) and following Paul and the life of the Church and all the churches that he visits. Reading this part of Scripture is like putting a giant mirror in my face. What kinda of believer am I? What kind of Church member am I? What kind of leader am I? These are questions that I end up asking myself almost daily as I'm reading through Acts. I used to think of Acts as a manual for how church leaders should set up and run churches. I didn't really consider how it affected me on a personal level. But as I am getting further into Acts this one phrase keeps coming to my mind.
I think sometimes I fool myself into thinking that I am walking in obedience to God when I'm not at all. It's like I think I'm throwing God a bone by giving Him halfsies. So. Absurd. Those of you who are parents or teachers or employers can probably relate with me on this. In my book partial obedience from my kids is not obedience. Period. I've been convicted about that in my own heart. God has commanded me to put down my self righteousness, not when it's easy but all the time. God has asked me to make some sacrifices or act in submission in areas--not up to a point, but totally and completely and with joy. Walking in obedience, walking in light means FULL OBEDIENCE. Not as far as I see it. Not to the point of "I know I've done what I need to do to feel good about this." No, FULL obedience, complete obedience. What is the most I can do to walk in obedience, faithfully serving the Lord with no agenda of my own? This is the challenge that echoes in my heart and drives me toward Christ in the last little while. What is the echo of your heart? What is the Holy Spirit impressing upon you in recent days?

Situations Method Questions to Ask Business
Collecting Oral/Video History Stories
The methodology:
One week prior to recording, the interviewer meets with the interviewee to fill out a pre-interview questionnaire seeking detailed biographical information about the interviewee. During that preliminary meeting, the interviewer explains the format and prepares the interviewee to think about what he or she would like to say. The time spent working together on the questionnaire also helps establish a rapport that carries over to the recorded interview.
Each interviewee is required to read and sign a release agreement before their interview begins. Most interviews are conducted in the interviewees' homes and in their language of choice, and cover the interviewees' lives before, during, and after their first hand experience with Dr. Deming. At the conclusion of the interview, interviewees are invited to show photographs, documents and any memorabilia. Upon the completion of every interview, the Institute provides the interviewee with a copy of their recorded interview.
The Original Mission
Locating the men and women who would become interviewees requires perseverance and sensitivity. Methods varied by country and included both far-reaching media campaigns and grassroots efforts such as the distribution of an outreach flier translated into many languages along with other forms of local outreach.
Through the process of searching, the projects that the challenge of locating interviewees is matched by the challenge that cultural differences would pose to the gathering of testimonies. Some people had never been asked to recount their experiences; we plan to find people locally to establish relationships of mutual trust and respect.
Providing interviewees with copies of their recording for their private use may prove to be the best form of outreach. Once interviewees begin to receive their copies, word of mouth becomes as powerful as any media campaign.
The interviewing methodology was developed using the Oral History Association, USC Shoah Foundation, Activists Guide to Archiving Video, and more, as sources. Interviewer guidelines and videographer guidelines ensured that the interviews are conducted with a consistent approach.

An 11 Year Old Responds To Colbie Caillat
"Wait a second, Why should you care, what they think of you When you're all alone, by yourself, do you like you?" Colbie Caillat, Try
Recently my daughter Ellie had one of her friends practice makeup skills on her just for fun. They used a little blush, some eye shadow, and some dabs of mascara.
They didn't go crazy. Still, the result was a tad unsettling for me as the one who has seen her un-made-up face for the last 11 1/2 years.No big shocker, but I feel she is beautiful exactly as she is, so I didn't encourage her to choose this look for her new daily image.
Of course I told Ellie she looked pretty (she did), but I also told her, more sincerely, that she was beautiful without any makeup at all. (For the record, I'm not trying to swear her off of makeup for life, but I want her to remember she's doesn't have to "change a single thing.")I think she believed me.
My credibility is holding for the moment, but that's likely to change. I am, after all, still the mom.
In three weeks, my daughter starts middle school. This transition accelerates the process where her friend's voices can grow louder and have greater influence. From a developmental perspective, this is the time when fitting in seems crucial and where comparison becomes THE way of measuring worth.
This is the season when she will, undoubtedly, feel the pressure of questions like:
Do my clothes measure up to what the rest of the crowd is wearing? Does my hair look good? Is my body type attractive? Do I wear makeup well? Are my shoes on trend?
Ignoring the unhealthy voices of the crowd is a relentless, exhausting swim upstream.
However, that's exactly what I pray she will do.
I want her to find a path that is neither steeped in conformity, nor driven by rebellion. I want her to grow in wisdom and faith and know her intrinsic worth. I want this for her entire life.
In fact, if I could pry open her head and give her one prevailing skill, it would be that she would be comfortable in her own skin.
I would tell her she doesn't have to "try so hard." I would tell her she "doesn't have to give it all away." I would assure her that she is worthy of love no matter what.
Until this weekend, when Colbie Caillat's video took off, I didn't have a catchy tune for these words.
Now, I'm so grateful that's changed.
I sat with Ellie as she watched the video and saw the tears well up in her eyes.
"What do you think about the song?" I asked.
Initially, she couldn't find the words. Finally she said,
"I don't know. I kinda feel like crying, but mostly I'm inspired."
I know how she feels.
Thank you Colbie for singing the heart of so many people. I hope you like you, 'cause I like you.

AUSTIN — Online computer gamers who spend countless hours slaying monsters and battling other virtual foes are now facing more worldly threats, including online predators and scammers who want to swipe their game accounts.
"City of Heroes" maker NCsoft Corp. on Tuesday announced a program to warn its customers about real-world risks in the virtual universe of its games.
"It's a public environment where everyone can see and hear what's going on," said Robert Garriott, chief executive of NCsoft North America. "The single biggest mistake people make is, they meet people online, and once they start communicating, they slip up."
Though its "PlaySmart" initiative is still in the early phase, the company hopes to include some basic guidelines in its packaging by the end of the year.
Among the suggestions: Parents should not only monitor and play the games with their children, but also should be aware of the potential for social interaction that can include voice chat and text-message exchanges.
Today's online games allow for an instant, free flow of dialogue between thousands of players simultaneously. The tasks set forth in such games, such as killing dragons or traipsing dank dungeons, often require coordinated teamwork.
Though the true names and identities of players are disguised as avatars ranging from animals to sorcerers, there's nothing to prevent players from probing for personal information.
NCsoft's guidelines will be printed on small cards with the games as well as on NCsoft's Web site.
Other basic rules would seem to apply to life in general: never give out credit card information, never offer personal information to other players, and never give passwords or account information to friends so they can play on the account.
Garriott said one of the leading sources of customer complaints is when players lend account usernames and passwords to friends.
In such instances, accounts can be stolen outright or pilfered of virtual goods such as rare weapons or armor that the true owner spent months or years accumulating.
The effort comes as millions worldwide play such games every day. According to a recent study by Parks Associates of Dallas, revenue from online games is expected to grow from about $1.1 billion last year to $4.4 billion by 2010.
Ron Teixeira, executive director of the National Cyber Security Alliance, called NCsoft's program a good first step.
"Parents may think games are games," Teixeira said. "They think it's pretty innocent and nothing bad can happen, but the reality is that children virtually are somewhere else and interacting with people that may not be good."
Video games also are rated for content by the Entertainment Software Rating Board, a nonprofit industry group.
