I'm working my keister off to get darn books finished and in your hands. We are all motivated and excited about what's coming your way. Heck, if nothing else, we want to get rid of the logjam just so we can bring you all the new books we have in mind that we haven't even told you about yet.
Meanwhile, we are moving forward on all fronts at full speed. It is my personal mission to get both Robotech® Genesis Pits and Rifts® Vampires Sourcebook, if possible, in your hands in November. Rifts® Northern Gun One in December, and Rifts® Northern Gun Two in January. Quickly followed by Megaverse® in Flames and several other products. I'm also trying to put things in place to get books out fast and on time in 2013 (or close to it).
The Rifter® #60 shipped to subscribers last Friday and to distributors on Monday. It's the latest of several great issues and you are missing out if you don't subscribe to this excellent player and Game Master's sourcebook series. PR copies went out this morning.
I'm done with my portion of the writing and editing. Wayne is finishing up his part of the final edits before it is sent to Harmony Gold for approval, which will be tomorrow. Most of the book is already in Harmony Gold's hands and being reviewed for approval. We expect to start getting approvals any day now. Robotech® Genesis Pits™ Sourcebook should see release in November.
On Wednesday, I was finally able to dive back into the writing for this book and I've been a writing fiend ever since. Rifts® Vampires Sourcebook is going to be epic. There are so many cool ideas in it that . . . well, you'll see soon enough. Should be a November release.
I actually spent a few hours editing and writing for Northern Gun One last the weekend. I was reviewing the material for art assignment, and the next thing I knew I was writing and editing for four hours. Matthew Clements really out-did himself on the writing did for these two titles. Probably his best work to date.
I've been working intermittently with my attorney to get a finished agreement done. We are all so excited about this project. I can hardly wait till we can reveal our plans for it. Summer 2013.
As soon as it is possible, we'll be posting the FREE Sneak Preview of Rifts® Vampires Sourcebook. The FREE Rifter® #60 Sneak Preview has been available for a couple of weeks along with other titles like Rifts® Black Market and Lemuria, among others.
DriveThruRPG.com is also your place to get PDFs of older product and sneak previews of upcoming books. Many back issues of The Rifter® are available on DriveThruRPG.com (issues #1-52), as are more than 90 out of print titles such as Rifts®, BTS™ and Palladium Fantasy® first edition rule books and sourcebooks. A sneak preview of Rifts® Vampires Sourcebook should also be coming soon. We have not forgotten about the PDF only editions of The Rifter® #0.1 and The Rifter® #0.2 – both are big, juicy digital editions of new, fan created material for the Palladium Megaverse® of games.
DriveThruRPG.com also offers the Rifts® and Palladium Fantasy® Game Master Kits (both written by Carl Gleba and complete with maps, combat matrix, character sheets, spell list, and 20 pre-rolled characters created by Julius Rosenstein; $5 each). Of course, there are FREE Sneak Previews of Rifts® Black Market, Endless Dead™, Rifts® Lemuria, Rifts® Vampire Kingdoms™, and Thundercloud Galaxy™, as well as 90+ out of print titles, including back issues of The Rifter®, and first edition rule books for Rifts®, Palladium Fantasy RPG®, Heroes Unlimited™, The Mechanoid Invasion® Trilogy, and lots of other good things. ALL available as PDF downloads at reasonable prices. And there is MORE to come.
Online sales have been a little slower and a bit up and down this week, but still holding strong with dozens of people placing orders for the Palladium Christmas Surprise Packages as well as regular orders. Keep 'em coming.
We continue to process a lot of orders for the 2012 Christmas Surprise Packages that are coming in at a nice, steady pace. One gent placed an order for SIX of them yesterday, and another gamer ordered four. Excellent! Take advantage of this limited time opportunity. I'm also pleased to report that there have been plenty of regular orders, too.
Last week, Apollo Okamura dropped by to sign books for the Surprise Packages. This week, Ben Rodriguez came by to sign a few hundred books. Still waiting for Mark Dudley to drop by.
What is the Christmas Surprise Package? A way for you to get a pile of Palladium product, original artwork, prints, out of print copies of The Rifter®, miniatures, autographs and surprises at low prices.
It involves you sending Santa Kevin a "Wish List" of 10-12 different in-stock products and a flat payment (+ shipping and handling). I then hand-pick items from that Wish List and I may include product you didn't ask for (hence the nickname, "X-Mas Grab Bag"), but all things I think you'll enjoy, and we ship it all off to you. Gamers have been loving this special offer for 14 or 15 years now. Order one or several for yourself and for your gaming buddies. For the holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, or just to get cool stuff and signatures. Get all the information from the description in the online store.
Click here for complete details and to place your order.
Alex will be adding even more items to my online store, including some hard to find, Ninja Turtle RPG titles signed by Erick Wujcik, as well as a number of other game titles and books from the massive collection of Erick Wujcik. We're trying to help out the Wujcik Estate by selling a selection of books for them. We've also put up a bunch of military books owned by Erick (with more to come if these sell), and an array of comic book and SCA fanzines. I'll be digging up some Palladium collectibles over the next few weeks too.
Take a look, there may be some items that are perfect as holiday gifts. Note: There are no more than five Rifts® Lemuria Emerald Editions earmarked for the store and other items such as the Rifts® Machinations of Doom Gold Hardcover, Rifts® RPG Silver hardcovers, BTS Gold, Rifts® Ultimate Gold, Erick Wujcik's Amberzine #11, etc. are also in short supply. In most cases, I have only a dozen or fewer to offer. That's why we continue to dole them out one at a time. Once they are sold out, of course, they are GONE! Other collectibles include first printings of books, signed books, "proofreader" copies of books (a couple more coming your way soon), original artwork, and other collectible odds and ends.
There are also a large number of collectible toys and action figures in my online store. All are from my personal collection. More toys and collectibles are added on a weekly basis.
Palladium Books will be exhibiting in the dealers' room and we'll have members of the Palladium staff and other maniacs at the booth, including:
It all happens at Cobo Hall and hotels in downtown Detroit, near the waterfront. Join the fun. Youmacon is a rapidly exploding anime convention that could have 15,000+ people this year. It includes a wide range of amazing costumes, guests, events, cosplay, gaming and multi-media fun. www.youmacon.com
Writer and pal, Brandon Aten (author or co-author of Rifts® Madhaven, Triax 2, etc.) and his lovely wife Sarah, are the proud parents of a beautiful baby boy, Eli. Our heartfelt congratulations and warmest wishes to Brandon and Sarah.
Here's the email I received from Brandon: "Hey all, just wanted to let everyone know that Eli is here. 9 pounds, 4 ounces, 22 inches. Kid is built like a rock. Put on my palladium shirt today and he really likes it. Eli joins the new generation of gamers ... I guess that would make Kevin a gamer grandpa." I guess so. I sure don't mind. :)
The Detroit Tigers baseball team is in the World Series. So, you know, I had to exhibit my fan boy support. They haven't won since 1984, so we are all rooting for our team.
Halloween is next week Wednesday, the day before the next Weekly Update, so I have to wish you a Happy Halloween now. Halloween is the most favorite holiday of Kathy Simmons and second only to Christmas for me. We go all out with a massive display and look forward to it all year.
This year we expanded our Halloween display and there are more than 100 life-sized ghouls. We set them up in several spooky, scary, fun and funny scenes that include a police office shooting at a horde of zombies, a gruesome mad doctor's laboratory, a chop shop with two caged werewolves, the Frankenstein monster, other monsters, a spooky graveyard (with zombies rising, of course), witches creating dangerous brew, the Wizard of Oz (complete with winged monkeys), a crew of skeleton pirates, Charlie Brown and friends waiting for the Great Pumpkin, and more. For us, it is a month long celebration, as we start putting up the massive display by the end of September and people come by on a daily basis.
We hope your Halloween is as wonderful and full of laughter and joy as ours. Happy hauntings and keep those imaginations burning bright.
– Kevin Siembieda, Publisher, Writer and Ghoulmaster
Every year there is a section where the customer can offer comments and suggestions with his or her Surprise Package order. Every year, in acknowledgment of our fans, and because they are fun to read, we offer a sampling in the Weekly Updates. Our heartfelt thanks to all of you who have made 2012 a very good year for Palladium. Keep those imaginations burning bright, have a joyous holiday season and game on.
D.L. in Salt Lake City, Utah, writes: Just keep doing what you're doing. Each day Palladium's future gets a little brighter. In the meantime, thank you for decades of fun and excitement.
D.V. in Wentzville, Missouri, writes (in part): Dear Kevin and Staff, I have so much to be thankful for . . . got married . . . child on the way . . . sold our first house and looking for a new home . . . To be able to share all of the wonderful, imaginative and empowering books that have come out of your company [with my child someday] is nothing short of a blessing. Yes, I did call your books empowering. I am not sure that is something that you all may have heard before when talking about your product. I've never heard anyone say it about any RPG products, but I feel it is the truth. Your books are a testament to what hard work and dedication, some risk taking, and following your heart can create. Your books are a physical representation of why I have never let go of my imagination, in order to fit into the machine society. Your products are a symbol of struggle and hardship and SUCCESS! Your products have empowered me to believe in myself, perhaps even against insurmountable odds. More of us need to embrace our imaginations.
J.W. in Abilene, Texas, writes: Hi, I'm ordering the Surprise Package for my husband who is currently serving in Afghanistan with the Air Force. He LOVES RPGs. He already has so many of the Rifts® books, so I'm hoping he will get maybe a new RPG. Just hoping to put a big smile on his face with the surprise package. Thank you for this great Christmas gift idea!
C.B. in Walkerton, Indiana, writes: Glad you guys keep on kicking! Hope you continue to reach out to your audience and try to expand. It's true that existing fans want you to stay the same, but I think you should balance that with trying new things. Look at how the Lemuria crowdsource [funding] worked out. Merry Christmas and best wishes.
S.H. in South Porcupine, Canada, writes: I ordered one [Surprise Package] for myself and one for my eldest son earlier. Now, my younger son has discovered Rifts® Ultimate Edition and is captivated by the world and the creatures in it.
K.L. in Victoria, Australia, writes: I have been using my friend's Fantasy collection. It is time for [me to start] my own.
D.F in Slidell, Louisiana, writes: LOVE YOUR GAMES. Always looking for new products.
N.H. in Kent, Washington, writes: I don't get to play much these days, but still love to read the books. Keep up the great work.
T.H. in Portage, Indiana, writes: This [Surprise Package] order is for my 15 year old son for Christmas.
J.R. in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada, writes: I want to thank the whole crew fo this amazing offer. I plan on picking up a couple more Grab Bags in the coming weeks simply because it is an amazing value (and my friends love me for giving them a few new books for the holidays). Also, I rarely get a chance to get signatures from Palladium folks. Have a happy Halloween.
From Kevin Siembieda & staff to all of you. Thank you for the kind words and support. Game on and Happy Halloween! - Kevin Siembieda
The Rifter® Number 60 is an extravaganza of source material that deals with the bizarre, gruesome and dangerous. There is page after page of useful new gadgets, weapons, gear, monsters, aliens, and adventure ideas, plus an excellent article on introducing youngsters to the world of role-playing games.
Every issue of The Rifter® offers new monsters, villains, characters, O.C.C.s, powers, magic, weapons, adventure and ideas for your use in games and campaigns. There is usually source material for at least 2-3 Palladium game lines, often more.
You might think of The Rifter® #50 as a special "all-star" anniversary issue with official source material for Rifts®, Heroes Unlimited™, Nightbane® and many other Palladium RPG settings.
I'm working on this bad boy right now! Unknown to most humans, deep within Mexico the vampires have established entire kingdoms. There they live like tyrants and gods, dominating an underclass of cattle people used as slaves and food stock. Learn more about the vampires, their rivals, allies and the humans who willingly serve their supernatural masters for a chance to join the undead. A must-have guide for those who wish to travel deeper into the Vampire Kingdoms or play as vampires and their human minions. In final production right now with art and text coming in and final editing and writing restarting next week.
This is an epic sourcebook that takes an in-depth look at the Invid Genesis Pits, their purpose, function and the mutants and monsters they unleash. It is packed with good stuff that will put a grin on the faces of Robotech fans.
Everything you want to know about the Black Market of Rifts® North America presented inside a pair of gorgeous black leatherette covers. Gold foil embossing on front cover and spine. Historically, gold collector editions only increase in value on the collector's market, and often quickly. This is the lowest number of a Collector's Gold Edition that Palladium has ever printed.
See what everyone is talking about and order yours today. Rifts® Black Market™ is an epic, 192 page sourcebook that contains a wealth of information about the inner workings of the Black Market, the Five Factions, new Bandito Arms/Black Market weapons and gear, how to make any O.C.C. a Black Marketeer, special abilities of the Black Marketeer, criminal enterprises, Black Market loans, merc and crime jobs, and much more. This book has it all. AND best of all, a lot of it can be easily adapted to just about any world setting, not just Rifts Earth.
Northern Gun™ is the largest independent manufacturer of high-tech weapons, robots and vehicles in North America. Outside of the Coalition States, one could argue, no other kingdom is as powerful or influential, at least when it comes to technology and weapons. The manufacture and sale of Northern Gun weapons and vehicles has given virtually every kingdom, town, colony of settlers and adventurer group a chance to survive and prosper. Located in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, NG has been the premier outfitter of mercenaries, adventurers and upstart kingdoms for generations. Now, for the first time ever, learn Northern Gun's history, goals and plans for the future. Of course, that means new weapons, robots, power armor, vehicles and gear.
More information about the weapons, vehicles and practices of Northern Gun, including the new rage of robot gladiatorial combat.
The Minion War spills across Rifts Earth, where demons and infernals hope to recruit allies and use the Rifts as gateways of destruction. Their influence shakes things up across the planet, especially at locations where demons and Deevils already have a strong presence. Demons, Deevils and supernatural beings run rampant and wreak havoc across the world.
This is a great resource for getting out of print Palladium titles and other select books. We've made 90 titles available as PDF digital downloads from DriveThruRPG.com. This is a great way to try Palladium products and get access to out of print RPG source material. Some notable titles include.
Everyone I've ever talked to who has tried this game loves it, especially if they had a thing for post-apocalyptic games and zombies to begin with. Fans of zombies, horror and apocalyptic settings really should give this RPG a try. – Kevin Siembieda
Think you know zombies? Think again.
Can you survive in a world where the dead have risen and feed upon the living? Battle zombies, mad men and death cultists in a post-apocalyptic where world the last of humanity struggles to survive.
Dead Reign™ RPG is the aftermath of the zombie apocalypse. Civilization is gone, the dead reign, and the living fight to survive against impossible odds. Tales of zombies, human survival and horror as a fast-paced, easy to learn game and sourcebooks.
It has been months since the dead rose to attack the living. Civilization has crumbled. There is no army, no government, no help coming. You are on your own and things are only getting worse.
Secrets of survival, including using railroad tracks and the urban underground to travel unseen and undetected by zombies.
The zombie hordes grow in number and strangeness. Can humankind survive? Where is the military?
The following are in development:
Everyone at Palladium has a Rifts® Dice Bag, shouldn't you? It is a good size, sturdy, drawstring bag made of imitation black velvet emblazoned with the famous Rifts® logo in gold.
Russian mythology and magic come to life in this fan favorite Rifts® World Book. The book includes all kinds of demons, monsters, new magic character classes (O.C.C.s), and nine different types of gypsies – some of whom are adventurers, others mystics and mages, some psychics and one is even a beguiling shape-shifter. Plus more background about Russia and the Sovietski.
Magic vs Technology. The infamous Coalition/Siege on Tolkeen story arc starts with this 160 page sourcebook. Not only does it lay the groundwork for the Coalition's all-out siege on the kingdom of magic, but it includes a vast number of Techno-Wizard weapons and vehicles, powerful magic artifacts, demons, monsters, magic and a historic Crisis Time-Line from 12 P.A. to 106 P.A.
The Siege on Tolkeen goes into full swing as the Coalition Army makes the first devastating attacks on Tolkeen. Coalition Generals, Special Forces squads, and strategies are presented with a wealth of adventure ideas.
We didn't want you to forget about this excellent sourcebook in the series. The Coalition's siege on Tolkeen has had a devastating impact on people across North America. None have been more affected than the Cyber-Knights. This sourcebook reveals not only the history and secrets of the Cyber-Knights, but the schism the war has created among the fabled warriors.
Earth is home to thousands of alien species from beyond the Rifts. One of the strangest and most dangerous is the Xiticix. A danger nobody seemed to realize until the sprawling Hivelands began to encroach on the territories of other people. Armed with new breeds of aggressive warriors, new weapons and legions of insectoids willing to fight to the death, people are beginning to wonder if they are the next threat to humanity.
The war between the people of the New German Republic and the Gargoyle Empire rages on, but only the heroes of the NGR seem to be getting the upper hand. See where things stand in the year 109 P.A. and get a closer look at the NGR Army, government, society and people. This World Book also presents the latest weapons, combat vehicles, power armor and robots of the NGR as well as commercial vehicles, robot helpers, and more.
Archie 3 and Hagan Lonovich are two of the most beloved villains (anti-heroes?) in the Rifts Earth setting. This sourcebook highlights their strange relationship, plots and blunders. One of which is inadvertently unleashing The Mechanoids® into the world!
The Mechanoids have one driving goal: To destroy all humanoid life! This book has it all. Source material, the Mechanoids, new equipment, monsters, adventure and cryptic prophecies.

Palladium Books will be exhibiting in the dealers' room and we'll have members of the Palladium staff and other maniacs at the booth, including me (Kevin Siembieda), Wayne Smith, Alex Marciniszyn, Julius Rosenstein, Chuck Walton and maybe a few other Palladium madmen. Artist Ben Rodriguez will be there too, but he'll have his own booth. It all happens at Cobo Hall, downtown Detroit, near the waterfront. Join the fun.
Speaking of which, have I mentioned that I will be one of the guests at Anime North in Toronto next year? Well, I will. The event takes place Memorial Day weekend, May 24-26, 2013. This will be my first time back at a convention in Canada in something like 15 years. Too long. www.animenorth.com
Oh yeah, we can hardly wait for Gen Con next year. We may even need to expand the size of our booth.

Estela Nuñez, who lost 15 family members in the storms and floods which swept El Salvador in the wake of Hurricane Ida, is among the thousands of people who are benefitting from WFP emergency food assistance as they start to rebuild their lives.
SAN SALVADOR – At 2 a.m. on Saturday, November 2, a neighbour knocked on the door to warn Estela and her family that the river level was rising dangerously. Suddenly, water poured into the house from everywhere, the doors flew in all directions.
"In a matter of seconds the water was up to our necks and we tried to get out as fast as we could. Suddenly, the lights went out and afterwards I did not see my family again," Estela said, recalling her experience.
Too tired to swim
"I remember hearing my husband yelling and telling me to climb up a tree. I tried to swim, but I was too tired to keep going and gave up. I don't know how, but I ended up on the top of a car and was dragged several kilometres downstream. That's how I survived."
"I can't believe what's happened to us. I lost my husband, six grandchildren, my brothers, nephews. The smallest of my grandchildren was one year and six months old.
Estela, 58, lives in the community of "La Caridad" in the department of San Vicente, one of the areas worst hit by the storms and torrential rains. She, along with two surviving grandchildren, received nutritious High Energy Biscuits from WFP at one of the emergency centres set up in the wake of the disaster.
Emergency rations
WFP reached more than 7,000 people with emergency rations in the immediate aftermath of the recent floods. Next week it is scheduled to begin full food distributions -- dry rations of rice, beans and vegetable oil -- in order to help affected people get back on their feet and rebuild their lives.
Hurricane Ida left 196 people dead, 78 missing, and caused damage calculated at US$870 million. The worst affected areas were San Vicente, La Paz and Cuscatlan in the country's southeast. WFP and its partners estimate that as many as 30,000 people will need food in the coming months.
The UN has launched a flash appeal with the El Salvador government for more than US$14.7 million. WFP is requesting US$1.7 million to assist people in need of food.

I'm planning on making a pot of soup so I can take it to work for lunch. I work 3 days on 3 days off. So for example: if I make the pot of soup on Sunday, & I'm working Monday Tuesday Wednesday, will it last for those three days or will I have to freeze it?

|Behavioral: strengths-based case management
|Phase 3
The study is fundamentally concerned with the implementation and evaluation of theoretically-based, culturally appropriate case management interventions targeting individual, social and environmental factors among highly vulnerable African American women. The research is designed to test innovative, comprehensive approaches to HIV prevention/intervention through case management driven service linkage and engagement. Testing new approaches to intervention with African-American women at high risk for HIV addresses a particularly urgent public health need in Miami, as well as other large metropolitan areas, where officials continue to document epidemic rates of HIV/AIDS clustered in urban, impoverished African-American communities.
Comparison: Participants will be randomly assigned to: a Strengths-Based / Professional Only Condition in which clients participate in a "strengths-based" case management approach; or, a Strengths-Based / Professional/Peer Condition in which a team composed of: a) a credentialed, professional case manager and b) a recovering addict peer - both trained in "strengths-based" case management techniques - develop and facilitate the implementation of a service plan.

If you missed actor John Ratzenberger (most known for his role as "Cliff Claven" in Cheers) on Dancing with the Stars last season, you can catch him narrating the latest multimedia CD-ROM from the Copper Development Association (CDA), New York. "Structured Wiring for Today's Homes — Homeowner Edition" is now available, free of charge, while supplies last.
To raise awareness of communications or structured wiring, the CDA invited Ratzenberger on a tour of four homes with four different digital lifestyles. In the CD, Ratzenberger introduces viewers to the four households: one with five teenagers, another with younger children, an empty nester, and the home of an electrical engineer with a passion for digital technology. In addition to the home tours, Ratzenberger provides an overview of the structured wiring concept, explaining the basic needs of homes today, pointing out the differences between wired and wireless solutions, and demonstrating why communciaitons wiring is important for entry-level homes as well as custom homes
"There are so many cool features available to a home wired with high-speed communications wiring," says David Brender, national program manager for the CDA. "Structured wiring is what makes it possible, including home networking, Internet connections, whole-house audio, whole-house video, home theater, home automation, and home security. John does a fantastic job describing these conveniences in plain language."
In the CD, Ratzengerger also introduces specialists who get into the nitty gritty of what structured wiring is, how it works, and why it's needed. To order your free CD, visit www.copper.org/swcd/.

Dismal Start, Adaptation Period, Recovering Injuries: How Will Things Change?Commentary • Author: Özgür R. Nazilli • Sunday, November 16, 2008
Hello Fener fans and the loyal members of the Fenerbahçe Worldwide community!
I know I have been absent for a long time, and I am truly sorry for that. However, I finally have things under relative control, and I am back at FBWW, with a small change in my writing schedule. I have personally decided that instead of translating/reporting news daily, which is being taken care of admirably by Nathan and Mehmet (thank you both), I will be reaching out to you with a weekly editorial piece that will focus more on the macro-issues rather than day to day events. It will be heavily influenced by the past week and it will try to convey, sometimes through statistics and other scientific methods, my take on everything related to Fenerbahçe. I hope you will enjoy my new role (which was unfortunately influenced by the fact that I cannot make as much time as I used to for FBWW) and my editorial articles in the weeks to come.
So, now that the personal business is done, we can move on to this week's topic. I wanted to reflect upon Fenerbahçe's season so far, with a special focus on the current standings, the hardships of having a new managerial team, and the ubiquitous problem that is the number of injuries on any given match day.
First of all, we have to keep in mind that a new coach and a managerial team, whose importance is mostly overlooked by the mainstream media, always takes a certain period of time, the "grace period" if you will, to adjust to the life at the new club. In the case of Aragones and his aides, it is even a bigger change, since they moved to a completely foreign country with a vastly different football culture. So any managerial team moving to Turkey, regardless of its experience and knowledge levels, needs a "honeymoon period" to adjust to the new way of things. However, the Turkish football world, never known for its patience, always has a difficult time of comprehending the need for the adjustment period, mostly because the influential personas never had to deal with such difficulties, having grown up lodged comfortably in their media seats in Turkey. However, it should always be noted that a coach will take time in adjusting to the new life, and there are no exceptions. Just think of how long it took Sir Alex Ferguson to adjust to Manchester United and become the successful coach he is, and you will understand.
In case of Fenerbahce, it is an even more difficult process for the new manager, since the fans demand instant success. However, the Fenerbahce Board proved to be wise enough to sacrifice some popularity in order to achieve consistency (although this was not the case with Zico unfortunately) and protected Aragones in his worst days. Now, the trend is upwards and everyone, most of all Aragones himself, is hoping that it will continue. The recent crushing defeat of Galatasaray and today's 2-0 defeat of one of the most successful teams of this season (Ankaraspor was placed second after Trabzon until this week) gave the much needed breathing space to both the Fenerbahce Board and Aragones. The main question is: Will this trend continue, or will the dreaded days of the first two months of the season come back?
I am happy to say that all the indicators are pointing to "Yes the upwards trend will continue!" Why? Well, let's look at them individually:
1) Recovering Injuries: Fenerbahce, for some inexplicable reason, suffered heavily from injuries both this season and the last. Appiah, Roberto Carlos, Alex, Emre, Tümer, Deivid, Vederson, Gokhan Gonul and others have all been out of action for extended periods of time. Fortunately, the worst seems to be over and some of the key players have returned to match availability. Deivid, who is definitely enjoying the limelight and the popular support of the fans, proved crucial to both this week's and last week's victories. Roberto Carlos, likewise, has always been a driving power behind the engine of Fenerbahce, with his experience, enthusiasm, skill and charisma. As the injuries wear out and Aragones gets more available players to choose from, the quality of the Fener squad will increase and this will lead to an inevitable improvement in the quality of football being played.
2) Adaptation: Aragones and his helpers have been here for a few months now, and they should be settling in comfortably. It is vital for the coach to know the strengths and weaknesses of his team, and that unfortunately takes a while for him to learn. However, Aragones should be past this stage now, and the adaptation period issue should not be a problem for Fenerbahce anymore.
3) Morale: It is an undisputable fact that the dismal start to the season took a lot out of both the fans and the players. The popular support and belief in the players dwindled, calls for resignations were sounded, and a generally gloomy outlook was ever-present around Fenerbahce. However, the Galatasaray victory, which is always a great morale boost for Fenerbahce, Arsenal tie in England, and the Ankaraspor victory all helped the fans and players alike to gain some self-confidence and much needed spirit boost. In competitive sports, the more you believe in yourself, the better you will perform. Therefore, the current positive atmosphere should go a long way in improving the performances of the team.
So there you have it, my friends. We are entering what promises to be a successful period in this season. Even though Fenerbahce was a bit late in the kick-off of the actual season, there is no reason for it to be unable to catch up with the title race. The only thing the Canaries need, as I always say, is the unfaltering support and belief of the fans. Fener achieved incredible heights of success in the last few years with the backing of the millions of fans it has. Why should this season be any different?
Comments (7)
I know this has nothing to do with it. But what is this? Can someone explain it for me. I know its from 2003.

Russian Studies Program wins big in essay contest
Small program proves large in national arenaIt may be small in numbers, but the Brandeis Russian Studies Program has proved to be large in winnings, with six students placing in a national Russian-language essay competition. This year's contest attracted 1,057 essays from 48 universities, colleges and institutions across the nation. The topic: "What is a friend?"
The American Councils of Teachers of Russian has held the competition for the past 13 years. Students are given an hour to write their essays, which are then shipped to Russia and rated by native speakers, all of whom are also teachers of Russian.
"They come with their brains and pencils in hand," says Irina Dubinina, director of the Russian Language Program at Brandeis. "They are given one hour to write in Russian." The essays were written in February and the results were announced this week.
The competition is divided into heritage and non-heritage categories, each with levels of experience. Non-heritage students are broken down into first-year through fourth-year students, and heritage students are divided into three groups depending on how many years of schooling they had in Russia. Students are awarded first, second or third places or honorable mention in their category/level.
Matt Kupfer '12, placed first in the non-heritage learners category, Level 3, meaning he has studied Russian for three years, and does not come from a Russian-speaking background.
The summer of his sophomore year Kupfer did an independent internship in Kyrgyzstan. During second semester of his junior year he traveled to St. Petersburg and took part in a Brandeis-sponsored intensive Russian language program.
"I was very excited to learn that I placed," says Kupfer. "I have entered this contest every year that I've been at Brandeis and this is the first time that I have placed at any level. I've worked very hard at it and it was nice to see that rewarded."
Kupfer says he found the essay question daunting and tied his answer into his experience in Kyrgyzstan.
"I was there during a period of inter-ethnic conflict," says Kupfer. "My essay discussed that even though my friends didn't understand my interest in Kyrgyzstan — especially after having experienced the conflict — they were still supportive because they knew it was important to me. A true friend may not understand why you want the things that you do, but they still support your goals."
The Brandeis Russian Studies Program may be small, but it's very vibrant.
"I am bursting at the seams with pride for these students," says Dubinina. "Universities that are known for their Russian studies programs did not place first this year in the first- and third-year categories—we beat out Columbia, Princeton and Yale. For a rather small program, this is a huge result."
The purpose of the essay contest, says Dubinina, is to encourage learning and act as an incentive to be recognized on a national level.
In any given year the program has three to five majors and a number of minors. This year Dubinina has 20 students in her first-year class, 18 students in her heritage class and another 18 in an advanced heritage class, meaning that they grew up speaking Russian.
Five professors teach in the Russian Studies Program. Dubinina teaches language; Robin Feuer Miller and David Powelstock teach literature; ChaeRan Freeze and Gregory Freeze teach history.
"It's encouraging for students to know that they are not only stars in the eyes of their teachers, but stars in the eyes of a big national community that studies Russian," Dubinina says.
Winners are:
- John Nunes, First Place (Non-Heritage Learners, Level 1)
- Joseph Babeu, Third Place (Non-Heritage Learners, Level 1)
- Mark Borreliz, Honorable Mention (Non-Heritage Learners, Level 1)
- Matt Kupfer, First Place (Non-Heritage Learners, Level 3)
- Maya Tydykov, First Place (Heritage Learners, Level 1)
- Anastasia Austin, Second Place (Heritage Learners, Level 1)

On Thursday's episode of "The Tonight Show," Sylvester Stallone told Jimmy Fallon about his long-standing rivalry with his "The Expendables 3" co-star Arnold Schwarzenegger.
"I've read that you guys actually hated each other for a while," Fallon said.
"Well we were very competitive," Stallone said. "Yeah, I think hate is a good word."
"Did you ever hate someone so much that you're like 'I gotta go to the gym'?" Stallone said. "I really respect this guy, I think he's brilliant, but I want to strangle him."
Stallone explained that the two would try to top each other with action movies.
Fallon said, "You would do 'Rambo', and he—"
"–he would do Commando," Stallone said.
Watch Stallone explain it all in the video above.

Top Ten Monsterpiece Theater Segments
Michael Wermuth, Jr. - Monsterpiece Theater is one of Sesame Street's best recurring segments. While it's hosted by Cookie Monster (in the role of Alistair Cookie), it sure does have a lot of variety (being an anthology series of parody segments). So here now is my top ten list of the best Monsterpiece Theater segments.
10. Guys and Dolls
Guys and Dolls is a great segment in which Herry Monster sings about the fact that some guys like to play with dolls, while the rarely-seen Ruby Monster sings about girls liking to play with trucks. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if the majority of fans only know Ruby from this song. I don't think I cared much for this song as a kid, but in recent years I've found that this segment is very enjoyable.
9. ABCD Blue
I first heard about this segment a few years ago, and it is a great segment. Grover and Herry play cops who help kids solve the alphabet. And pretty much any segment with Cookie, Grover, and Herry (even if they don't all appear together) has to be great.
8. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
There's been a number of great Monsterpiece Theater segments in which Cookie Monster keeps introducing the wrong story or the story keeps going wrong, and this is one of them. It's a great way of teaching the number 1 (which seems hard to do). And it includes a cameo by The Muppet Show chickens!
7. Upstairs, Downstairs
I don't really remember seeing this one as a kid... Grover keeps running up and down the stairs. I'd like to see behind-the-scenes footage or videos of this segment (I wonder if Frank Oz kept getting on his knees and standing up straight, or what). And there's a photo of Dr. Teeth in the background!
6. Little House on Prairie
A funny parody of Little House on the Prairie, with a little house appearing on top of Prairie Dawn, as well as a couple of additional stories, showing a little house under Prairie, and then a little house in Alistair Cookie.
5. Twin Beaks
One of the few times Cookie Monster starred in the Monsterpiece Theater story, and it's my favorite of Cookie Monster's starring roles (on Monsterpiece Theater). This story is really weird and really funny. Cookie Monster plays a detective who tries to figure out why a town full of birds with two beaks is called "Twin Beaks." I especially like the Log Bird scene.
4. Me, Claudius
I don't really remember seeing this one as a child, but I remember watching Sesame Street: 20 and Still Counting and seeing a clip from the introduction which took place in a different room than usual, and being very curious about it. The story itself is funny, with various monsters fighting over which one is Claudius, and none of them cooperating or figuring out which one is Claudius. And it's an opportunity to hear Elmo with a different voice.
3. The Taming of the Shoe
Many of the best Monsterpiece Theater segments star Grover, and this one is kind of funny. Grover needs to cooperate with a talking shoe, who refuses to be worn by Grover, but realizes she can't walk on her own. I also like the music heard at the end of this sketch.
2. Gone with the Wind
The only Monsterpiece Theater segment to feature Kermit. This parody of Gone with the Wind involves heavy wind and a lesson in subtraction. Kermit (in the role of "Green") is paired with Miss Scarlett, who I'm unsure as to whether she's a frog or a human. The end of this segment, in which Cookie Monster catches and cuddles with a lamb who got blown into the set, is kind of sweet (though it would be funny if Cookie Monster ate the lamb).
1. Chariots of Fur
My favorite of the Monsterpiece Theater segments, I always felt like it was an event whenever this one aired. I listed this as number one in my list of the top ten Sesame Street segments not on DVD and listed it in my Top 41 Sesame Street Moments list, so I won't talk much more about this, other than the plot involves Grover and Herry running at the beach (and as I said about ABCD Blue, any sketch with Cookie, Grover, and Herry must be great).

Former football star Aaron Hernandez, who was serving life on a murder charge has committed suicide in his prison cell in Shirley.
According to WCVB, a Wicked Local reporting partner, corrections officers found Hernandez at about 3 a.m. hanging in his cell in the Souza Baranowski Correctional Center. He reportedly used a bed sheet attached to his cell window and tried to block the door from the inside. Although lifesaving techniques were used, Hernandez was pronounced dead at UMASS Leominster at about 4:07 a.m. according to WCVB.
The State Police are investigating. The former New England Patriot's player was in a single cell in general population.
Hernandez played for the Patriots for two years, from 2010-2012, but was cut from the team shortly after he was arrested in June of 2013 for the killing of semi-professional football player Odin Lloyd. He was later charged with first degree murder in the deaths of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado but a jury acquitted him of that charge last week.
Hernandez was only 27 years old.

zh-CN:Zsh Zsh is a powerful shell that operates as both an interactive shell and as a scripting language interpreter. While being compatible with Bash (not by default, only if issuing "emulate sh"), it offers many advantages such as:
- Speed
- Improved tab completion
- Improved globbing
- Improved array handling
- Fully customisable
The Zsh FAQ offers more reasons to use Zsh.
- 1 Installation
- 2 Configuration files
- 3 ~/.zshrc configuration
- 3.1 Simple .zshrc
- 3.2 Configuring $PATH
- 3.3 Command completion
- 3.4 The "command not found" hook
- 3.5 Prevent from putting duplicate lines in the history
- 3.6 Key bindings
- 3.7 History search
- 3.8 Prompts
- 3.9 Customizing the prompt
- 3.10 Dirstack
- 3.11 Sample .zshrc files
- 4 Global configuration
- 5 Uninstallation
- 6 See also
Before starting users may want to see what shell is currently being used:
$ echo $SHELL
Install the zsh package available in the official repositories.
Initial configuration
Make sure that Zsh has been installed correctly by running the following in a terminal:
$ zsh
You should now see zsh-newuser-install, which will walk you through some basic configuration. If you want to skip this, press
q. If you did not see it, you can invoke it manually with
$ zsh /usr/share/zsh/functions/Newuser/zsh-newuser-install -f
Making Zsh your default shell
If the shell is listed in
/etc/shells you can use the
chsh command to change your default shell without root access. If you installed Zsh from the official repositories, it should already have an entry in
Change the default shell for the current user:
$ chsh -s $(which zsh)
After logging back in, notice Zsh's prompt, which by default looks different from Bash's. Also verify that Zsh is the current shell by issuing:
$ echo $SHELL
~/.bashrc to
~/.zshrc (e.g. the prompt and the aliases) and from
~/.bash_profile to
~/.zprofile (e.g. the code that starts the X Window System).
Configuration files
At login, Zsh sources the following files in this order:
- This file should contain commands to set the command search path, plus other important environment variables; it should not contain commands that produce output or assume the shell is attached to a tty.
- This file is sourced by all Bourne-compatible shells upon login: it sets up an environment upon login and application-specific (
/etc/profile.d/*.sh) settings.
- This file is generally used for automatic execution of user's scripts.
- This is Zsh's main configuration file.
- This file is generally used for automatic execution of user's scripts.
At logout it sources
~/.zlogout, which is used for automatic execution of user's scripts.
- The paths used in Arch's zsh package are different from the default ones used in the man pages.
$ZDOTDIRdefaults to
/etc/profileis not a part of the regular list of startup files run for Zsh, but is sourced from
/etc/zsh/zprofilein the zsh package. Users should take note that
/etc/profilesets the
$PATHvariable which will overwrite any
$PATHvariable set in
~/.zshenv. To prevent this, either replace the
/etc/zsh/zprofilefile with a custom one, or set the
$PATHvariable from
~/.zshrc configuration
Although Zsh is usable out of the box, it is almost certainly not set up the way most users would like to use it, but due to the sheer amount of customization available in Zsh, configuring Zsh can be a daunting and time-consuming experience.
Simple .zshrc
Included below is a sample configuration file, it provides a decent set of default options as well as giving examples of many ways that Zsh can be customized. In order to use this configuration save it as a file named
.zshrc. Apply the changes without needing to logout and then back in by running:
$ source ~/.zshrc
Here is a simple
autoload -U compinit promptinit compinit promptinit # This will set the default prompt to the walters theme prompt walters
Configuring $PATH
Information about setting up the system path per user in zsh can be found here: http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Guide/zshguide02.html#l24
In short, put the following in
typeset -U path path=(~/bin /other/things/in/path $path)
Command completion
Perhaps the most compelling feature of Zsh is its advanced autocompletion abilities. At the very least, enable autocompletion in
.zshrc. To enable autocompletion, add the following to:
autoload -U compinit compinit
The above configuration includes ssh/scp/sftp hostnames completion but in order for this feature to work, users need to prevent ssh from hashing hosts names in
#HashKnownHosts yes
And move
~/.ssh/known_hosts somewhere else so that ssh creates a new one with un-hashed hostnames (previously known hosts will thus be lost). For more information, see the SSH readme for hashed-hosts.
For autocompletion with an arrow-key driven interface, add the following to:
zstyle ':completion:*' menu select
- To activate the menu, press tab twice.
For autocompletion of command line switches for aliases, add the following to:
setopt completealiases
The "command not found" hook
See Pkgfile/"Command not found" hook.
Prevent from putting duplicate lines in the history
It is very convinient to ignore duplicate lines in the history. To do so, put the following:
setopt HIST_IGNORE_DUPS
Key bindings
Zsh does not use readline, instead it uses its own and more powerful zle. It does not read
/etc/inputrc or
zle has an emacs mode and a vi mode. By default, it tries to guess whether emacs or vi keys from the
$EDITOR environment variable are desired. If it is empty, it will default to emacs. Change this with
bindkey -v or
bindkey -e.
To get some special keys working:
# create a zkbd compatible hash; # to add other keys to this hash, see: man 5 terminfo typeset -A key key[Home]=${terminfo[khome]} key[End]=${terminfo[kend]} key[Insert]=${terminfo[kich1]} key[Delete]=${terminfo[kdch1]} key[Up]=${terminfo[kcuu1]} key[Down]=${terminfo[kcud1]} key[Left]=${terminfo[kcub1]} key[Right]=${terminfo[kcuf1]} key[PageUp]=${terminfo[kpp]} key[PageDown]=${terminfo[knp]} # setup key accordingly [[ -n "${key[Home]}" ]] && bindkey "${key[Home]}" beginning-of-line [[ -n "${key[End]}" ]] && bindkey "${key[End]}" end-of-line [[ -n "${key[Insert]}" ]] && bindkey "${key[Insert]}" overwrite-mode [[ -n "${key[Delete]}" ]] && bindkey "${key[Delete]}" delete-char [[ -n "${key[Up]}" ]] && bindkey "${key[Up]}" up-line-or-history [[ -n "${key[Down]}" ]] && bindkey "${key[Down]}" down-line-or-history [[ -n "${key[Left]}" ]] && bindkey "${key[Left]}" backward-char [[ -n "${key[Right]}" ]] && bindkey "${key[Right]}" forward-char [[ -n "${key[PageUp]}" ]] && bindkey "${key[PageUp]}" beginning-of-buffer-or-history [[ -n "${key[PageDown]}" ]] && bindkey "${key[PageDown]}" end-of-buffer-or-history # Finally, make sure the terminal is in application mode, when zle is # active. Only then are the values from $terminfo valid. if (( ${+terminfo[smkx]} )) && (( ${+terminfo[rmkx]} )); then function zle-line-init () { printf '%s' "${terminfo[smkx]}" } function zle-line-finish () { printf '%s' "${terminfo[rmkx]}" } zle -N zle-line-init zle -N zle-line-finish fi
cat or
read without any parameters and press them; they should then be printed in the terminal. Both can be closed again via
Alternative method without using terminfo
autoload zkbd followed by just
zkbd. If users cannot press the key it asks for (e.g.
F11 maximizes the window), press space to skip it. After finishing with zkbd, add the following to
autoload zkbd source ~/.zkbd/$TERM-:0.0 # may be different - check where zkbd saved the configuration: [[ -n ${key[Backspace]} ]] && bindkey "${key[Backspace]}" backward-delete-char [[ -n ${key[Insert]} ]] && bindkey "${key[Insert]}" overwrite-mode [[ -n ${key[Home]} ]] && bindkey "${key[Home]}" beginning-of-line [[ -n ${key[PageUp]} ]] && bindkey "${key[PageUp]}" up-line-or-history [[ -n ${key[Delete]} ]] && bindkey "${key[Delete]}" delete-char [[ -n ${key[End]} ]] && bindkey "${key[End]}" end-of-line [[ -n ${key[PageDown]} ]] && bindkey "${key[PageDown]}" down-line-or-history [[ -n ${key[Up]} ]] && bindkey "${key[Up]}" up-line-or-search [[ -n ${key[Left]} ]] && bindkey "${key[Left]}" backward-char [[ -n ${key[Down]} ]] && bindkey "${key[Down]}" down-line-or-search [[ -n ${key[Right]} ]] && bindkey "${key[Right]}" forward-char
Bind key to ncurses application
Bind a ncurses application to a keystoke, but it will not accept interaction. Use
BUFFER variable to make it work. The following example lets users open ncmpcpp using
ncmpcppShow() { BUFFER="ncmpcpp"; zle accept-line; } zle -N ncmpcppShow bindkey '^[\' ncmpcppShow
History search
Add these lines to .zshrc
[[ -n "${key[PageUp]}" ]] && bindkey "${key[PageUp]}" history-beginning-search-backward [[ -n "${key[PageDown]}" ]] && bindkey "${key[PageDown]}" history-beginning-search-forward
Doing this, only past commands beginning with the current input would have been shown.
There is a quick and easy way to set up a colored prompt in Zsh. Make sure that prompt is set to autoload in
.zshrc. This can be done by adding these lines to:
autoload -U promptinit promptinit
Available prompts are listed by running the command:
$ prompt -l
To try one of the commands that is listed, use the command prompt followed by the name of the prompt to explore. For example, to use the
walters prompt, enter:
$ prompt walters
To preview all available themes, use this command:
$ prompt -p
Customizing the prompt
For users who are dissatisfied with the prompts mentioned above(or want to expand their usefulness), Zsh offers the possibility to build a custom custom prompt. Zsh supports a left- and right-sided prompt additional to the single, left-sided prompt that is common to all shells. Customize it by using
PROMPT= with the following variables:
Prompt variables
|The username
|The computer's hostname(truncated to the first period)
|The computer's hostname
|The current tty
|The return code of the last-run application.
|The prompt based on user privileges (
# for root and
% for the rest)
|System time(HH:MM)
|System time(HH:MM:SS)
|System date(YY-MM-DD)
|The current working directory.
|Prefix an integer to show only certain parts of the working path. If users entered
%1d and were in
/usr/bin it would show
bin. This can also be done with negative integers:
%-1d using the same directory as above would show
|The current working directory. If in
$HOME or its subdirectory,
$HOME part will be replaced by
%U [...] %u
|Begin and end underlined print
%B [...] %b
|Begin and end bold print
%{ [...] %}
|Begin and enter area that will not be printed. Useful for setting colors. In fact, this tag forces Zsh to ignore anything inside them when making indents for the prompt as well. As such, not to use it can have some weird effects on the margins and indentation of the prompt.
|will set the text color (red, green, blue, etc. - defaults to bold)
|Zsh sets colors differently than Bash. Add
autoload -U colors && colors before
PROMPT= in
.zshrc to use them. Usually you will want to put these inside
%{ [...] %} so the cursor does not move.
|will set the non-bold text color
|will set the bold text color
|will reset the text color to the default color
|Possible color values
$fg['yellow'] looks brown or a very dark yellow, while
$fg_no_bold['yellow'] looks like bright or regular yellow.
To have a two-sided promptcould write:
PROMPT="%{$fg[red]%}%n%{$reset_color%}@%{$fg[blue]%}%m %{$fg_no_bold[yellow]%}%1~ %{$reset_color%}%#" RPROMPT="[%{$fg_no_bold[yellow]%}%?%{$reset_color%}]"
It would equal(without colors):
username@host ~ % [0]
Zsh can be configured to remember the DIRSTACKSIZE last visited folders. This can then be used to cd them very quickly. You need to add some lines to you configuration file:
DIRSTACKFILE="$HOME/.cache/zsh/dirs" if [[ -f $DIRSTACKFILE ]] && [[ $#dirstack -eq 0 ]]; then dirstack=( ${(f)"$(< $DIRSTACKFILE)"} ) [[ -d $dirstack[1] ]] && cd $dirstack[1] fi chpwd() { print -l $PWD ${(u)dirstack} >$DIRSTACKFILE } DIRSTACKSIZE=20 setopt autopushd pushdsilent pushdtohome ## Remove duplicate entries setopt pushdignoredups ## This reverts the +/- operators. setopt pushdminus
Now use
dirs -v
to print the dirstack. Use
cd -<NUM> to go back to a visited folder. Use autocompletion after the dash. This proves very handy if using the autocompletion menu.
Sample .zshrc files
Here is a list of
.zshrc files:
- Prezto - Instantly Awesome Zsh (AUR package: prezto-gitAUR) is a configuration framework for Zsh. It comes with modules, enriching the command line interface environment with sane defaults, aliases, functions, auto completion, and prompt themes.
- Basic setup, with dynamic prompt and window title/hardinfo => http://github.com/MrElendig/dotfiles-alice/blob/master/.zshrc;
- An Arch package named grml-zsh-config comes from http://grml.org/zsh and provides a zshrc file that includes many tweaks for Zshell.
- https://github.com/slashbeast/things/blob/master/configs/DOTzshrc - zshrc with multiple features, be sure to check out comments into it. Notable features: confirm function to ensure that user wnat to run poweroff, reboot or hibernate, support for GIT in prompt (done without vcsinfo), tab completion with menu, printing current executed command into window's title bar and more.
Global configuration
Occasionally users might want to have some settings applied globally to all Zsh users. The Zsh wiki tells us that there are some global configuration files, for example
/etc/zshrc. This however is slightly different on ArchLinux, since it has been compiled with flags specifically to target
/etc/zsh/ instead.
So, for global configuration use
/etc/zsh/zshrc, not
/etc/zshrc. The same goes for
/etc/zsh/zlogin and
/etc/zsh/zlogout. Note that these files are not installed by default, so create them if desired.
The only exception is zprofile, use
/etc/profile instead.
Autostarting applications
Zsh always executes
/etc/zsh/zshenv and
$ZDOTDIR/.zshenv so do not bloat these files.
If the shell is a login shell, commands are read from
/etc/profile and then
$ZDOTDIR/.zprofile. Then, if the shell is interactive, commands are read from
/etc/zsh/zshrc and then
$ZDOTDIR/.zshrc. Finally, if the shell is a login shell,
/etc/zsh/zlogin and
$ZDOTDIR/.zlogin are read.
See also the STARTUP/SHUTDOWN FILES section of
man zsh.
Change the default shell back to bash or csh or whatever, before removing the Zsh package.
Paste the following command in terminal as root:
# chsh -s /bin/bash user
Use it for every user using Zsh.
Now the Zsh package can be removed.
Alternatively, change the default shell back to Bash by editing
/etc/passwd as root.
vipw when editing user information as it prevents badly formatted entries.
For example:
username:x:1000:1000:Full Name,,,:/home/username:/bin/zsh
username:x:1000:1000:Full Name,,,:/home/username:/bin/bash

Titles sometimes come to define a person. Think of the physician who goes by the nickname Doc or the coach who everyone calls, well, Coach. Even family members may begin using this name, and friends may not know the person's actual first name.
Titles sometimes come to define a person. Think of the physician who goes by the nickname Doc or the coach who everyone calls, well, Coach. Even family members may begin using this name, and friends may not know the person's actual first name.
Other titles can cause a chuckle or scratch of the head. I feel kind of sorry for Nicole Piggott of Lexington City Schools. Her title is supervisor of career technical education, guidance, health services, beginning teachers and public relations. Just saying that title makes me tired. Could the system not find a couple of more responsibilities for her?
Industries use job-specific titles, and their functions may not always be obvious to the casual observer. Newspapers are certainly no exception to this rule. While some are easy to figure out (the sports editor heads the sports department, for example), others don't offer easy definition.
One odd one is city editor. We don't have this position in Lexington but have in the past. It's basically the person who assigns the stories to reporters and edits their copy; I fulfill that role here. Most folks would know the duties if the person was called assigning editor or something along those lines.
Another term we use here is civic news. I've tried for several years to call it community news, but even that isn't fully accurate, since all of our stories are very local in nature. But the community news as we define it involves items submitted by the public, such as honor rolls, military news, press releases, photos and more.
The top person at a newspaper is typically called the publisher. He or she oversees all departments at the newspaper, including the newsroom. This person's primary responsibility is to make sure the newspaper is profitable, but oversight of the newsroom, circulation and other areas is included in the job description.
As executive editor I supervise the 10 journalists in my department, but I report to the publisher. But not everyone understands that distinction. Periodically Steve Skaggs, whose last day as publisher of The Dispatch was Thursday, will forward me an email or voice-mail message concerning a story request, since that's my area of responsibility.
The misunderstanding runs the other direction, as well. A reader emailed not long ago with a concern about how an online ad was displaying on his iPad. He then continued to email me after I explained I wasn't involved in advertising matters but I would forward the message to the appropriate person. I think he finally understood the publisher was the top person on the organizational chart, not the executive editor.
So it goes for other departments, too. My phone occasionally rings at home when someone doesn't receive a paper, even though I'm not involved with circulation. The circulation folks will receive calls on their phone line with suggestions or concerns on stories. All of us here at The Dispatch know callers become frustrated when they're transferred multiple times, but we also want to connect them with the person who can address their concern.
In many regards, it will be business as usual here until a new publisher is named. The person might even have a different title but many of the same duties. Paul Mauney, the publisher of our sister Halifax Media Group paper in Burlington, will also play a role in the interim.
We held a farewell luncheon for Steve on Thursday to wish him the best and say our goodbyes. He will head to Florida to become publisher of The Daily Commercial in Leesburg, Fla., and the South Lake Press of Clermont, Fla. I learned about the impending departure March 7, the day a winter storm continued to pound Lexington. Steve joked that he won't have to worry about that in Florida.
Change always brings some uncertainty, and all of us are anxiously awaiting the selection of a new leader for The Dispatch. But our mission in the newsroom will remain covering Davidson County as thoroughly as possible. We'll share the news of the new person's hiring as soon as a selection is made.
Chad Killebrew is executive editor of The Dispatch. He can be reached at 249-3981, ext. 215, or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

While the internet has grown exponentially to become an integral part of our lives, so online sports betting has expanded rapidly over the past decade.
The number of sports betting sites has multiplied as both traditional 'bricks-and-mortar' firms and newer, innovative enterprises have been formed to create an online bookmaker sector generating worldwide sales in excess of $23 billion.
Online betting has grown for several reasons: greater levels of disposable income is one, but perhaps the two most important factors have been the rapid development of technology designed to make betting sites easier to access and navigate, and the corresponding expansion in the number of live sporting events shown on TV.
If a sporting fixture or tournament is televised live, either on terrestrial or satellite television, interest in it multiplies significantly and online sports betting sites can prepare for an influx of business. As a consequence, it is no longer unusual to see a group of friends watching a football or rugby match on TV with a laptop displaying odds from a betting site sat adjacent to their supply of beer for the game. Examining a sportsbook prior to kick off and engaging in some online betting before and during a match has become a regular pastime for millions of people.
Online bookmakers and their steadily expanding sportsbooks have made this possible. Furthermore, technology ensures that betting sites can react quickly to developments taking place during a game, so enhancing the online betting experience.
Not surprisingly, betting on football has been a major driver – in Europe at least – of the growth in online sports betting. Online bookmakers now regularly quote prices on dozens of markets for every match played in the Premier League, for example. If a fixture is televised live, the online bookmaker will expand the number of markets available on it and it is not unusual to see up to 80 different markets priced ahead of a big game.
But most sportsbooks' prices also reflect the growing appeal of rugby union, cricket, golf and formula one; the average betting site will quote current and antepost odds for all mainstream sports.
Moreover, as technology has improved, so in-play or 'live' online betting has become increasingly popular. This expansion has coincided with the growth in the quantity and quality of internet-based data now available to punters.
Sports betting sites provide all manner of statistics, results, sports news and information for those mulling over the outcome of a big match. Some betting sites have gone further and introduced features such as podcasts and even live streaming of specific events as a means of enhancing their sportsbook offering.
Sport has become Europe's most talked-about pastime. Its ability to create compelling drama has ensured that online sports betting sites too have become equally popular, allowing fans to pore over their sportsbook before and during a contest in search of winners. It's a trend that shows little sign of slowing up anytime soon.
