We have experienced increased sales and overall growth on new and non-historical items that would have not occurred without the virtual shows.

We have found value in the Spotlight Virtual Shows and would recommend their program to any Wholesaler who is looking to increase sales. Times are changing and going virtual has improved the way we do business."

Later this month Verizon will be launching 26 channels of live streaming cable content through the Xbox Live dashboard for users of its FiOS TV service, a brand new way to watch cable made possible in part by the support of North America's ancient television audience measurement system.
Measuring television audience size since the 1950s, the Nielsen rating system remains one of the most powerful forces in TV entertainment to this day. How powerful? So much so that had the ratings company not had the ability to gather viewership metrics for the Xbox 360's FiOS application, it might not have happened.
In gathering channels to bundle together for the Xbox version of its service, Verizon found that Neilson ratings measurement capability was crucial in gaining the support of Viacom, the company behind MTV, BET, Spike TV, and more. Though the company had previously turned away offers for non-measurable tablet applications, the Nielsen-ready Xbox was an easy fit.
"Verizon FiOS approached us in advance to discuss this new opportunity for Xbox Live consumers," Joseph Molko, senior vice president of content distribution and marketing for Viacom Media Networks, said in a statement. "We're open to distributing our content on this platform as the programming is Nielsen-rated and we'll be able to monetize viewing through ad sales."
Nielsen has been gathering game playing information from rating-device equipped homes for the past few years, paving the way for cable network collaborations like Verizon and Microsoft's.

Excerpt: Suzy Welch's "10-10-10"
Welch's strategy on making thoughtful decisions.
April 5, 2010 -- In "10-10-10" Suzy Welch explains how she applies her strategy to all of the decisions she makes in her life.
By asking herself what the consequences of that decision are in 10 minutes, 10 months and 10 years in her life, Welch writes that 10-10-10 has become a sucessful "life management tool."
Check out an excerpt of the book below, then head to the "GMA" Library for other great reads.
To tell you the truth, I didn't know precisely what 10-10-10 was at the moment of its inception, except that I suddenly felt as if I had a new, different, and massively better operating principle in my (albeit tenuous) grasp. I had come upon, it seemed, an enhanced thinking process of sorts, a methodology for getting systematic about things. All I really had to do to reclaim my life, I realized that morning on my Hawaiian balcony, was to start making my decisions differently—proactively—by deliberately considering their consequences in the immediate present, near term, and distant future.
In ten minutes . . . ten months . . . and ten years. If I did that, I figured with a fair amount of wonder, I might actually have my very own "life management tool." And thirteen years later, that term continues to be how I define 10-10-10 in quick and easy shorthand. That said, I've certainly heard 10-10-10 described in other ways.
One dedicated 10-10-10 practitioner I know calls it "a road map for clarity and courage," another, "my little guilt eraser." A grandmother from Houston once told me she refers to 10-10-10 as her "kick-start to get unfrozen." A Canadian minister who has preached about 10-10-10 describes it as "a great bridge enabling us to put things in perspective."
But none of those handles for 10-10-10—mine included—really describe the nitty-gritty logistics of the process. So before we go any further, let's break them down.
Every 10-10-10 process starts with a question. That is, every 10-10-10 begins with posing your dilemma, crisis, or problem in the form of a query. Should I quit my job? Should I buy the house with the great backyard and leaky roof? Should I hold my son back a year in school? Should I stay in my relationship or end it?
Having a defined question is essential to 10-10-10, I've come to discover, because so many messy problems are intertwined with side issues and sub-issues, distractions and digressions, red herrings and bit players. Thus, the most effective 10-10-10s always tend to start with determining exactly what issue, underneath it all, you're trying to resolve.
The next stage of 10-10-10 is data collection. Not to worry; you can conduct this part of the process in your head, on your computer, with pen and paper, or in conversation with a friend or partner— whatever works. The only real "requirement" is that you be honest and exhaustive in answering the following prompts: Given my question, what are the consequences of each of my options in ten minutes?
In ten months?
In ten years?
Now, to be clear, there is nothing literal about each ten in 10-10-10. The first 10 basically stands for "right now"— as in, one minute, one hour, or one week. The second 10 represents that point in the foreseeable future when the initial reaction to your decision has passed but its consequences continue to play out in ways you can reasonably predict. And the third 10 stands for a time in a future that is so far off that its particulars are entirely vague. So, really, 10-10-10 could just as well be referring to nine days, fifteen months, and twenty years, or two hours, six months, and eight years. The name of the process is just a totem meant to directionally suggest time frames along the lines of: in the heat of the moment, somewhat later, and when all is said and done.
And with the answer to that, you have your 10-10-10 solution.
IN THE BEGINNING As I've said, a fully conceptualized version of 10-10-10, logistics and all, didn't exactly strike me like a thunderbolt that Hawaiian morning. Rather, my thinking was more like, "I have to stop running around tamping down fires and trying to make everyone happy. When the kids are in their twenties, they're going to love me or hate me for decisions far bigger than whether or not I took them on a four-day business trip in February 1996. I'm just living too much in the moment, for God's sake."
And with that, I formed the concept of "10-10." I was going to start making my decisions based on a balance of short-term and long-term considerations. What nonsense it had been, I told myself, to have schlepped the kids five thousand miles for a few piddling swims on the beach together. If I had left them home, their pouting would have lasted a day at most, had there even been any.
Almost instantly, however, I became aware of the incompleteness of my emergent idea. Over the next few months, I was actually going to be away from home twice more, for a wedding and then for another conference. Maybe my trip to Hawaii, taken cumulatively, had me absent from the children too much. Maybe, for true balance and perspective, my new decision-making process needed to consider a more middle-term horizon as well.
Thus 10-10-10 was officially born.
With nothing to lose, I started applying the process to all sorts of dilemmas both at home and work as soon as we returned to Boston. Should I stay at the office for an emergency when I promised the kids I'd be home at six? Should I spend the holidays with my parents or my in-laws? Should I confront a difficult writer about a late manuscript? Should I focus my time on an article submitted by a promising newcomer or a steady old-timer? Much to my surprise, I found that the process invariably led me to faster, cleaner, and sounder decisions. And as an unexpected bonus, it also gave me a way to explain myself to all the relevant "constituents"—my kids or parents or boss— with clarity and confidence. "Let me tell you how I came to that decision," I could finally say, and go from there.
Within months, 10-10-10 had served me so well that I couldn't resist sharing it with my sisters, Elin and Della, as well as a cadre of close friends and colleagues. And so it was that the process first started to spread. One of my coworkers told his wife, who used it to untangle herself from a state of job-search paralysis. A friend "gave" 10-10-10 to her just-married daughter, who was struggling with whether to continue working or return to graduate school. Another acquaintance of mine described 10-10-10 to her husband, a doctor, and he brought it to work, where a group of nurses adopted it to confront— and resolve—a contentious dispute over patient visiting hours that had been simmering for months.
Eventually, 10-10-10 stories from outside my immediate circle began to trickle back to me. One day, for instance, I answered my phone to hear, "Are you the 10-10-10 lady?" When I figured out that I was and said as much, my caller burst into friendly laughter and identified herself as Gwen, the sister of one of the nurses. "Sorry to surprise you," she said, "but I'm calling because I'm sitting here wishing you could see me. I'm smiling for the first time in months." Gwen, it turned out, was a stay-at-home mother in Chicago. Like her sister, she had started with a career in nursing, but she had changed course after a few years to become a sales rep for a pharmaceutical company. The job was a perfect fit for Gwen's outgoing personality and professional drive. "You couldn't peel me away from my sales rounds," she told me. "It wasn't work to me. It was fun. Oh—and the money! It couldn't have been better."
Gwen enjoyed her career so thoroughly that she barely missed a beat through the pregnancies and births of her three children. Sure, there were challenging times when her job and motherhood collided, but she always felt supported by her husband, who was also a sales rep, in her choice to keep working. The couple hired a live-in nanny and communicated with her constantly by cell phone. They spent weekends reconnecting with each other and their kids.
One evening when Gwen returned from yet another long stretch on the road, however, her nanny put her fifteen-month-old son in her arms and he didn't recognize her, shoving her away with an angry squeal. Gwen was shaken to her core. Her husband, looking on, was too. Overwhelmed by a growing sense of guilt, Gwen soon resigned. "I'll be back in a few months," she promised her boss, "just as soon as things get back to normal at home." But weeks passed, then months, and bit by bit, Gwen found herself ever more entrenched in the "back to normal" she was trying to build, her days busy with driving the kids to lessons, friends' houses, and various and sundry appointments, her nights taken over by dinner, homework, baths, and story time. Her office off the family's garage, piled with the industry trade magazines she vowed to keep reading, began to fill up with skate sharpeners and costumes for the school play.
After a year at home, Gwen's heart started to fill too— not with sadness, but with a vague, persistent longing for the big career that could have been. Occasionally, she would reread an email from her old boss she couldn't bring herself to delete from her inbox. "We'll take you back whenever you want," it said. "Your old team needs you and misses you."
Gwen missed them too, but how much? Weeks passed with her mind seesawing in debate. Had she really chosen stay-at-home motherhood, she wondered, or had she fallen into it by not choosing otherwise? In the middle of this quandary, Gwen's sister mentioned 10-10-10 to her, suggesting she might use it the next time she felt stuck. That happened a few days later. "I was cleaning the refrigerator, my hands and face covered with cold water and detergent, everything melting all over the place, and Sammy was crying his head off. I just lost it," Gwen told me. "For once and for all, I needed to decide if I should keep being a full-time mom."
Gwen soothed Sammy and put him down for a nap, 10-10-10 finished with the refrigerator, and poured herself a cup of coffee. Then, with an hour to spare before her daughter arrived home from school, she sat in her kitchen and started to 10-10-10.
Her very first emotion, as the process unfolded, was dread. "Short term, if I stayed home, I knew I was looking at a lot of diapers and spit-up, with my brain not really in high gear," she told me. "I was looking at a bit of boredom, and a lot of wondering about what might have been." As for the long-term, ten-year scenario, "I knew the kids would basically be on their way out the door by that time," Gwen said. "They would be gone, and so would my career." But a different kind of revelation began to emerge as Gwen considered the ten-month scenario. "Suddenly, as I sat there thinking about it, I became conscious of how much I cared about the time in between the first and last 10s," she said. "When Sammy makes his first goal, Emma has her first flute recital, and Alex learns to shave, I'll be there. I realized I was giving up one dream, but I was getting a reality I couldn't walk away from in return."
Another mother might have landed at a different conclusion that day in the kitchen, but for Gwen, 10-10-10 crystallized her priorities. Her decision didn't mean she would jump for joy every time the baby cried; it didn't mean that she would delight in the hours spent waiting for ice hockey practice to end. It simply meant she had made a values-driven choice that she could—and wanted to— live by.
No wonder Gwen was smiling when she first tracked me down. Her ambivalence was gone—and in its place, the peace of mind that comes with intentionality. But for the sake of full disclosure, you need to know right here and now that every 10-10-10 process doesn't end so neatly. Sometimes the solution you arrive at will be an outright surprise, as the process can surface values, agendas, fears, and dreams you've never confronted before, or it can send you down paths you've long avoided in order to keep our world under control. Some 10-10-10 solutions can even be deeply challenging, as they "require" you to come clean with others about what you truly believe and how you want to live. The truth is, transformation doesn't always come easily.
About a year ago, I gave a speech about 10-10-10 on a college campus. Afterward, one student lingered, waiting to see me alone. He was, it turned out, an aspiring entrepreneur from Romania named Razvan, who wanted to launch a mobile phone company back home. The problem, he quickly told me, was that his longtime girlfriend, a waitress waiting for him in Bucharest, wanted to launch it with him. "What happens when Mihaela makes a mistake with a contract or something? She's not very tough when it comes to money; her family was all Communist," he reported matter-offactly.
"Then I have to say, 'Mihaela, we're trying to make a profit here,' and she starts yelling, 'Profit, forget profit—what about ideals?' And we have a fight, like always. You know what I mean?"
I got the picture, at least enough to get started. I gestured for Razvan to step closer, so we could conduct a 10-10-10 together about whether he should work with Mihaela on his new business venture.
In ten minutes, a "yes" answer was enormously appealing, Razvan said eagerly. Mihaela would calm down and, at least for a while, throw her best energies into the project.
A "no" answer would cause, in Razvan's words, "World War Three," as Mihaela's family and his own—they were close friends—were sure to get involved and lobby him to change his mind.
The ten-month picture was less mixed; it would be grim no matter which choice was made. If they worked together, Razvan said, he and Mihaela would likely be back to their quarreling. But apart, there would be misery too: "We've been together for many years and there is love between us," he reflected wistfully. We turned to the ten-year picture, and right away Razvan grimaced as if he was seeing a photograph that disturbed him. If he asked Mihaela to join his venture, they would surely be married by then, an outcome guaranteeing, as he put it, "a life of daily battles."
"Because your hopes and dreams are fundamentally different?" I asked.
"Because all we really have is history," he replied.
"And I know that's not enough. We will spend our lives hurting each other."
With that, Razvan's 10-10-10 decision was made.
Was he happy? Of course not. Indeed, as we parted, I could see tears welling in his eyes. But I could also tell he was relieved in some measure, and resolved too, about taking control of his life and his future. Happiness, he seemed to know, awaited him. Sometimes, that is all 10-10-10 can promise.
By 2006, I had heard enough stories from people like Gwen and Razvan to get the feeling that I was on to something with 10-10-10. And so I decided to write about the process in O, The Oprah Magazine, where I have a regular column about work-life balance.
My "on to something" feeling, however, did not prepare me for the response. Heartfelt emails and letters soon poured in. 10-10-10, I discovered, wasn't just useful within one or two or three degrees of separation. It worked for men and women, young and old, near and far, in decisions large and small and in-between, at home and at work, and in love, friendship, and parenting.
It even worked for a twenty-seven-year-old government employee named Antoine Jefferson, who wrote me to say that he was using 10-10-10 to guide him in his personal goal of reinventing the welfare system, one act of kindness at a time.
What the heck, I wondered, is this guy talking about?
And so I called Antoine, and later had the great pleasure of meeting him in his native city of Philadelphia, where hearing his story convinced me that 10-10-10 can work effectively in ways and places I had never imagined.
Raised by a single mother in a neighborhood of housing projects, Antoine stopped going to school in seventh grade, and was eventually moved into foster care, where he was bounced among five different families. His days were often lonely, filled mainly with television-watching alone; he missed his siblings painfully. But perhaps the most defining experience of Antoine's life was the realization, at age thirteen or fourteen, that he wasn't like anyone he knew. Not just because he was gay, but because he was so unrelentingly optimistic. Even with all its harshness, the world could be a better place, Antoine believed, if people just stopped hurting each other.
A few months before my article was published, Antoine was hired to work at one of the state's busiest welfare offices, greeting clients and directing them through the application process. The idea of helping people in need thrilled him at first. But his excitement soon turned to despair. All around him every day, he saw his coworkers address the people coming into the office rudely and dismissively. "Applying for welfare usually happens at your lowest moment in life. There is so much shame in it," he told me. "The system is supposed to be about lifting people up, not breaking them more."
One night after work, Antoine wrote an impassioned manifesto about the ways he thought office protocol should change. They were fighting words, he knew, and when he showed them to his sister Tiffany, she gently tried to warn him off. "Everyone is going to hate you, Antoine," she said.
For the next few hours, Antoine sorted through the 10-10-10 consequences of presenting his proposal at work. In ten minutes, he reasoned, there would be hell to pay. He had expressed his views to his coworkers already, and they'd brushed him off. Their message, as he heard it, was "Stop rocking the boat."
In ten months, Antoine predicted, the contentiousness with his colleagues would surely remain, or even worsen, as he refused to back down from his role as the office cop. On the other hand, if Antoine stayed mum, he worried that a crushing sense of hypocrisy would likely be destroying him inside. Neither option appealed. But Antoine's path of action became clear as soon as he considered the ten-year scenario. "I realized I was absolutely willing to take the heat—and I even wanted to take it—for the chance to improve the welfare system of this state," he said. "All I could think was, 'If not me, who?' Someone has to lead change, even on the lowest rungs of the ladder."
The next day, Antoine met with his boss to describe his concerns about the cynicism that pervaded the office and the mistreatment of its patrons. She received his manifesto very positively, he recalls. But after she brought it to a meeting with the whole staff, Antoine's coworkers, as expected, started to freeze him out.
Rather than manage the mess, Antoine's boss asked him if he would be willing to be transferred to another welfare office across town.
He agreed. "I wasn't sorry or angry for a second," he told me recently. "I feel as if I did the right thing." Today, Antoine continues to 10-10-10 any and all dilemmas that he encounters both at home and work. In fact, he recently shared the process with his mother, who, he says, immediately used it to make what could prove to be a transformative decision of her own. At the age of fifty-four, she's entered a training program in hopes of starting a small business someday. "I believe this is the beginning of a whole new life for my mother," Antoine says. "For the first time, I see her trying to create her own future." ABOUT THAT THIRD 10
How exciting that new journey sounds. 10-10-10 does have a way of galvanizing people into forward-thinking action and out of a fixation on the present. But it would be a mistake to think that the only purpose of 10-10-10 is to clang long-term alarm bells during the decision-making process.
Yes, heightening your awareness of ten years out is one purpose of 10-10-10, and a very good one. All too often, we make decisions just to avoid an immediate ouch—the sulking child, the disappointed family, the complicated logistics, the angry coworkers, and so on. The third 10 in 10-10-10 has a powerful way of mitigating that tendency. It helps us decide whether (or not) it's worth it to endure short-term flame-outs in the service of our larger, more deeply held goals in life.
No one, however, should make every decision based on its consequences in the long term. First, such prudence is pretty much guaranteed to make your day-to-day life a total bore. You cannot banish spontaneity! But the main reason not to set your sights exclusively on the third 10 is that it can be too damn risky.
Pete Turkel taught me that.
Pete was an editor on the swing shift at the Associated Press back in the mid-1980s, when I was all of twenty-six years old and a reporter in the Boston bureau. At the time I met Pete, I was working the overnight shift myself, reporting for duty at midnight and released to freedom at 8 AM when, oddly enough, I found myself hungry for a burger and a beer. My skewed body clock was unpleasant enough, but at least I was still able to see friends and family at breakfast and dinner. Pete, who came in at 4 PM and left at midnight, missed everything. He was asleep when his kids left for school and his wife for work, and he was at work when they all came home, ate dinner, and went to bed.
One day, bitching and moaning about my own hours, I turned to Pete—twenty years my senior—and blurted out, "I don't know how you stand it. It's like you're living on another planet or something."
To this day, I admire Pete for not smacking me for my temerity. Instead he smiled in his familiar, good-hearted way. "You'll understand this when you're older, Suzy, and have real bills to pay and a family to raise," he said. "I'm paid a premium for working this shift. If I keep at this job, I'll be able to retire early, send my kids to college without loans, and buy a house with a dock on a lake. What I'm doing will be worth every minute of it when I walk out that door on my last day."
I was one year gone from the AP when Pete was killed in a car crash. (His wife was gravely injured and died later.) But it was never lost on me that Pete was postponing life— for all the "right" reasons—at the time of his death. I still think about Pete. His life reminds me that while it's important to consider the long-term consequences of every 10-10-10 decision, they cannot be consistently more important than the short- and midterm. The far-off future often matters more than we give it credit for and should influence our thinking more than it usually does. But it should not trump all other time frame considerations, all the time.
If there is one piece of push back I receive about 10-10-10, it concerns timing and it generally goes like this: "I'm just too busy to do that kind of thing."
With life-changing decisions, it's true that 10-10-10 can take hours or longer to conduct. Later on, we will meet an advertising executive who leaned on 10-10-10 to help her decide what to do about her career after her son was diagnosed with a genetic mental illness. Because it required the gathering of medical opinions, her 10-10-10 decision unfurled over the course of two weeks.
Far more often, however, 10-10-10 slows you down just enough to get your decision right. It doesn't squander your time as much as invests it wisely.
Take Natalie, a tech company manager I met last year. Along with her busy job, Natalie tries to stay deeply present in the lives of her two teenage sons, both high school athletes, and her husband of eighteen years. Most days, she keeps all of her balls in the air, but when a new one gets tossed into the mix, sometimes unexpected decisions need to be made—quickly.
Natalie's uncle, Charlie, had never been a big part of her life, but when he passed away at the age of eightythree, Natalie felt more conflicted than she had expected about attending his funeral service. "I barely knew him. He was my mother's brother-in-law," she explained to me. "But I also knew that showing up would mean the world to my parents and the rest of my extended family. They would take it as a sign of respect."
With that realization, Natalie decided she needed to be at the ceremony. She made plans to leave work early, but just as she was about to head out the door, her fifteen-year old son text-messaged her. His lift to soccer practice had fallen through; could she help? Before Natalie could even react, another text message came in, this one from her husband. He had to stay late at work. Could she cover for him and drive their younger son to the orthodontist? "Well, there goes the funeral," Natalie groaned in frustration, picking up the phone to call her mother. But then she stopped. Why not, she reasoned, 10-10-10 the problem? She had learned about the process from another working mother, and had been using it ever since to sort out the kind of mini work-life balance conflicts that come with the territory.
With that, she quickly defined her immediate question as, "Should I attend Uncle Charlie's funeral?" In ten minutes, she knew a "no" would make her life flat-out easier. She wouldn't have to find another ride for Josh, or go through the elaborate dance of rescheduling Todd's appointment with the recalcitrant receptionist at the orthodontist's office. What a relief. In ten months though, the consequence of a no-go decision made Natalie cringe. She only had one chance to bid her uncle goodbye. More than that, she probably wouldn't have another opportunity to see several of her elderly relatives who were quite dear to her.
And what about the consequences in ten years? As a parent, Natalie was a firm believer in the old saw, "Actions speak louder than words." If she wanted to teach her children the values of respect and responsibility, she had to demonstrate them herself.
The next number she dialed was her son's cell phone. "Josh, I can't help you," she told her older boy. "It's very important for me to attend my uncle's funeral—to show my family how much I love them. Please ask Coach to help you find a lift." She then called her son's orthodontist and canceled his appointment; she'd reschedule it, she figured, when she found the time.
Finally, on the road to her family's church, she called her husband to explain her choice. "I'm with you," he said when she was done. At first, Natalie thought he was simply saying, "I'm on your side." Instead, he meant it literally. He dropped an email to his boss and jumped in his own car—to be with Natalie at the service.
Later, when I asked Natalie how much time she spent on her 10-10-10 decision, she laughed in surprise.
"Oh, I don't know," she said, "maybe two minutes."
But I wasn't surprised. I've seen 10-10-10 sort out even longer-brewing dilemmas just as quickly.
One summer evening a few years ago, I was chopping onions for dinner when my daughter Sophia wandered by the kitchen. The hula-dancing incident long behind her, she had grown into a young woman who loved to write, mimicked me to perfection, and could hit a wicked twohanded backhand. She had the varsity letters framed in her bedroom to prove it.
"Mom, I need to tell you something," she said quietly.
"I'm quitting tennis." My heart sank. Over the previous year, I'd certainly noticed Sophia cutting her practices short and, when I let myself listen, I'd certainly heard her complaining that she wasn't finding joy in the game anymore. But that had never kept me from hoping she was in a phase that would pass.
I stopped what I was doing and put on the steadiest voice I could muster.
"Absolutely, positively, one hundred percent no," I said. "We've worked too hard and spent too many hours to get where we are to give it all up now."
I expected a fight, but Sophia surprised me. Perfectly calm, she shrugged and simply replied, "OK, but let's 10-10-10 it. How about framing up the question as: 'Should Sophia stop playing a game that she's sick of?'"
"I would prefer it without the editorializing," I said, "but fine."
Sophia started by stating her case. In all three time frames, she said, freedom from tennis would allow her to focus on interests she simply and truly enjoyed more. And she insisted that she wouldn't stop playing tennis entirely, she would keep at it, only recreationally.
"Colleges want varsity letters," I resisted, "and in about ten months, that's going to matter. Colleges want kids who stick with things, who don't give up when things get hard."
"Colleges should see the real Sophia," came the answer,"and I'm not playing tennis in college, Mom. Come on, I'm not good enough. It's not fun for me to keep getting beaten. It's not my sport. It's yours."
She was right, of course, but I wasn't ready to surrender.
"When you're a grown-up, ten, twenty years from now, you're going to wish you could play tennis with friends," I said. "And with me. We could play together."
"I could destroy you and your pathetic serve with one hand tied behind my back," Sophia said with the beginnings of a smile. She waited a moment before her final shot; I suppose she knew it was a winner.
"Mom," she said, "this decision is about my life."
With that I had to smile too. The game was over, and Sophia had won it fair and square. 10-10-10 had been there as our trusted referee.
And 10-10-10 is always there. No matter what the scope of the dilemma it's applied to, no matter what the details. Since the morning that I found 10-10-10, or it found me, I have seen the idea evolve into its full form and spread from person to person, across boundaries of every kind.
Because it works.
In a time when the world moves at warp speed and decisions can feel inexorably complex, 10-10-10 can help you forge an intentional life, choice by choice. It can make you far less likely to find yourself outside looking in at your life, in shock, dismay, or the kind of regret that rusts in you forever. It helps you decide whether you want to be a career woman or a mother, or both, whether a relationship should go forward or end, or if a job is worth saving.
10-10-10 adds reason where it is lacking. It inserts deliberation where there is only instinct. It replaces opaqueness with transparency. Or as Antoine told me once, 10-10-10 "hushes the noise so the mind can see what it needs to." Which brings me back to my first description of 10-10-10 as a life-management tool.
The truth is, if you use 10-10-10 consistently, it becomes less of a tool or a process or a device or a methodology— and more of an infinite and sustaining heartbeat.
It becomes a way of life.

Sola scriptura was the Protestant Reformers' battle cry. Today, both positively and negatively, Protestant theologians respond differently to the original formulation of Reformers' principle, depending on the view they take on the Bible. This article explores the reasons behind the different contemporary responses to the sola scripture principle, and the implications for theology today.
How should we deal with alleged discrepancies in the Bible? Here is a short discussion on some issues to be considered before one draws any firm conclusions on such matters.
Hermeneutics is the discipline in theology that deals with the science of interpretation. The discipline itself, however, has attracted different approaches throughout Christian history. This article provides a brief overview of the history of hermeneutics, and examines the basic principles and assumptions that have influenced the different approaches to the discipline.
Historical-conditioning is a phrase that does not adequately express the manner in which Scripture came into being. A more accurate description will be to say that Scripture is historically constituted.
Is the law of God relevant to the New Covenant? How similar or dissimilar are the Old and New Covenants? Using Aristotle's four causes as an analytical tool, this articles explores the foregoing questions, and seeks to bring clarity to a few other issues related to the Old and New Covenants.
What does the concept of open theism mean? What tehological problems give rise to it and what issues arise from it? What are its implications for Seventh-day Adventist theology?
It is common knowledge that postmodern thought advocates relativism. What is not commonly known, however, is the path that has led contemporary western culture to its current intellectual situation. This article traces this path, and in the process shows the serious challenges that postmodern thinking poses for Adventist theology.
Predestination and foreknowledge are two different issues. In the Bible, God's foreknowledge simply enabled Him to put in place a plan of salvation that would be affected through a relationship with Christ (Eph 1:4).
The choice among Christian denominations to name the sacred rites of the Christian Church either as sacraments or ordinances underscores centuries long debates over the nature and significance of Christian rituals. Roman Catholics, Lutherans, and Reformed churches are among the denominations who have clear theological positions on these matters. This articles explores the case of Seventh-day Adventists in relation to the existing major positions in the Christian tradition.
Contemporary western culture is eminently postmodern, and the Christian church has no choice but to minister in this cultural context. While some suggested strategies for ministry in the postmodern context seem to imply a change in theology to reflect postmodern principles, this articles argues that Seventh-day Adventists need not be postmodern in theology in order to minister to postmoderns.

Despite LG's long history in the U.S. cell phone market, it has yet to introduce a true smartphone here like it has in other countries (For example, the LG KS20 is Europe-only). Sure we've seen high-end LG phones like the LG Voyager and the LG Dare, but they're not exactly made for business use. That has all come to an end, however, as LG has finally introduced the LG Incite, LG's first-ever U.S. smartphone. Equipped with Windows Mobile 6.1, the Incite is loaded with a host of multimedia and productivity features that will please both consumers and mobile professionals. And thanks to its support for both AT&T's HSDPA and Wi-Fi, it will satisfy your need for speed as well. The LG Incite is available now at the affordable price of $199.99 with a two-year service agreement with AT&T.
Measuring 4.21 inches long by 2.2 inches wide by 0.55 inch thick, the LG Incite is one of the shiniest handsets we've ever seen; its display is reflective when idle, similar to the one on the LG Shine, and the Incite's entire chassis has a mirror finish. You will definitely have a tough time trying to get fingerprint smudges off the phone, and there's no need for a self-portrait mirror next to the camera, as the handset's surface itself can act as a mirror. Like most touch-screen handsets, the Incite has a minimalist appeal: it is sleek and slim, with few external controls. It's also quite lightweight at 4.23 ounces, so it won't weigh you down, either.
Following the lead of other touch-screen smartphones like the Samsung Omnia and the HTC Touch, the LG Incite's design is dominated by the large touch screen on the front. The 3-inch diagonal screen is a 240x400-pixel resolution QVGA display with support for 262,000 colors, which makes for vibrant colors and sharp images. It doesn't have the screen real estate of other handsets like the Samsung Instinct or the Apple iPhone 3G, but that's only really an issue when it comes to the Web browser (which we'll get to later). You can adjust the screen's backlight time plus the font size. Because the display is so reflective, we have to say it can be a little tough to read the screen under direct sunlight.
The touch screen on the Incite has haptic tactile feedback, which lets you know, using vibrations, that your touch has registered. You can adjust the sensitivity of the touch response as well as the length and strength of the vibrations. Since the touch screen is resistive, you can use either your finger or the provided stylus to navigate through the screen. We found the touch screen to be mostly responsive, but we did notice some problems with lag; sometimes it takes about half a second for a touch to register, which is a little longer than we would like. We also found that we needed to be very precise in selecting something with the finger, lest we tap the wrong thing. The Incite does come with the aforementioned stylus for more accurate tapping, but we're not fans of having the stylus dangling off the corner of the phone. (You attach the stylus like you would a cell phone charm via a small lanyard.)
The LG Incite also has a built-in accelerometer, and the screen will change from portrait to landscape mode when you rotate the phone 90 degrees to either the left or the right. Here again we noticed some lag issues. It occasionally takes about a second for the screen to fully rotate, which can be quite annoying. The Incite also has a proximity sensor, which shuts off the screen when you bring it to the side of your face, so as to prevent accidental taps. We also like that the Incite automatically adjusts the screen's luminance depending on the surrounding light.
Since the Incite is a full touch-screen phone, you'll have to learn to enter in text via the touch screen. In portrait mode, the keyboard is displayed in the style of a SureType keyboard similar to the one on the BlackBerry Pearl, with two letters per key. Though we don't mind entering text this way, we definitely prefer having a full QWERTY keyboard for easier typing. For that, you can rotate the phone 90 degrees either to the left or the right, and the screen will automatically shift from portrait to landscape mode. The keyboard will then change to a full QWERTY keyboard.
We like the size of the virtual keys; they're big and easy to read. We also like the responsiveness of the virtual keyboard, but bear in mind our caveat earlier about having to use precise taps. The Incite does have autocorrect features, so it wasn't too bad if we made a few mistakes. Another complaint is that in landscape mode, the full QWERTY keyboard covers up about 90 percent of the screen, leaving very little room at the top to see what we're actually typing. We understand this is to accommodate for larger keys, but it's still a pain, especially since the screen is already so small.
As for the user interface, it is standard Windows Mobile with a few special LG touches. The home screen, or Today screen, is typical for most Windows Mobile phones, with a display of important information like date, time, the day's calendar appointments, whether you have any new messages or e-mails, and miscellaneous items like the current weather at your location. Along the bottom are shortcuts to the dialpad, the address book, a new text message, a subdirectory of favorite applications, and the main menu. And as with most Windows Mobile phones, there is a Windows Start button to the upper left of the screen that drops down a menu of shortcuts to Office Mobile, the Calendar, Contacts, Internet Explorer, the Messaging menu, the phone dialpad, Programs, Settings, and the Help menu.
The main menu interface is where you see LG's design influence. The phone, multimedia, and productivity applications are separated via tabs on the right side. There's also a tab for settings, and at the bottom is a shortcut back to the Today screen. The phone tab is home to applications like Contacts, Recent Calls, and Messaging, while the multimedia tab has more media-related features like AT&T Music and Cellular Video. The productivity tab has more business-like applications with shortcuts to the browser, AT&T GPS, and of course Office Mobile. And the Settings tab is where you get to set things like graphics, sounds, and wireless connectivity. Bear in mind that you can't drag and drop the icons around like you can with the Samsung Omnia or the LG Dare.
Underneath the screen are two keys, the Talk and End/Power keys. On the left spine are the charger jack and a volume rocker, while on the right are a dedicated camera key, a screen lock key, a microSD card slot, and a jog dial that lets you scroll through the menu and through your messages easier. On the top is a 3.5-mm headset jack, which we certainly welcome. The camera lens sits on the back of the phone.
The LG Incite comes packaged with an AC adapter, a USB cable, a stylus, a software CD, and reference material.
As we mentioned, the LG Incite is LG's first U.S. smartphone, and with that comes a whole host of features you won't find in a regular phone. It runs Windows Mobile 6.1, so you get all the typical Windows Mobile features like Microsoft Office Mobile Suite, and support for Microsoft ActiveSync and Microsoft Direct Push technology that lets you sync with your Outlook calendar and e-mail via your office's Exchange server. Other e-mail options include POP3, IMAP, and Web e-mail accounts, all of which can be accessed via Xpress Mail, Windows Mobile's e-mail program. Of course there are plenty of PIM tools as well, like a task manager, a calculator, a stopwatch, a notepad, and more.

Part 3: Escape
In the first room make a simple path across and then take a left. The next room has an orange section that you have to drop past so do a drop and place as soon as you're past it. You're in a slanted room now and have to reach the switch on the other side. You can't make a block path because of orange sections so make a path up into the rafters and walk across to the other side. When you are past the orange section, make a block path up to hit the switch that opens a door on the opposite side. The best way to get back there is to make a block path up to the rafters again and run down the middle. Jump across the gap and make a block path to the open door. Immediately make a block path to your left or else you'll fall into a data river. The next room has another data river with a moving orange barrier wall that disintegrates any blocks in its path. Make a path when the barrier is moving away from you and get to the other side. The next room has platforms you have to get to and multiple moving barrier walls to make it hard. The key is to get to a building platform and wait for the barrier to pass so that you can make a block path again.
When you are on the other side make a block in the huge data river and the wind will blow you towards it. The ceiling gets low at times so you'll have to do a drop and place a few times to get under them. Make a path to the island blocks and you'll reach a checkpoint. The wall is advantageous here because the blocks blown against the wall don't move so you can make a path to the next section. Make sure you jump to the right when you are almost finished down the river or else you'll go down a huge waterfall. Go up the stairs and then down the hole and do a drop and place before hitting the bottom.
The next room has multiple moving orange barrier walls again. They move slowly so make a quick path across. When you go up into the next room there are two moving barriers so make a path when the top one is moving away from you over the bottom one and when the top barrier disintegrates your block do a drop and place and move on. The next section is the same thing but with wind blowing in changing directions. Just do a drop and place past the barrier again and you'll be fine. The last one has one barrier moving vertically while the back one moves back and forth. Fortunately big blocks pop up that help you get across easier so make it across the last gap and go through the door and you'll get another trophy.

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA (Sept. 4, 12:40 p.m. ET) — Global packaging supplier Melbourne-based Amcor Ltd. expects another year of higher earnings thanks to key acquisitions and growth in its flexible packaging division in China.
Amcor manufactures PET containers for beverages; flexible packaging for the food and healthcare markets; tobacco packaging; and corrugated boxes.
In a report to investors on its 2012 financial year results, Amcor said its flexibles business is set to grow in China, after it took full ownership of factories in Beijing and Chengdu. Amcor previously held 75 percent and 40 percent interests in those plants respectively.
"These acquisitions provide the business with additional leverage to growth opportunities being pursued in the north and west of China," the report said.
Amcor's Chinese flexibles business has seven plants. Sales in China for the year to ended June 30 increased 13 percent.
Across all locations, Amcor Flexibles division's profit before interest and tax (PBIT) increased 10.1 percent to A$683.3 million (US$713.6 million) and sales rose 3.7 percent to A$6.1 billion (US$6.4 billion).
Across all divisions, Amcor posted record results. Profit after tax and before significant items increased 11.3 percent to A$634.9 million (US$663 million) and returns increased from 14.1 percent to 15.9 percent. The company completed a A$150 million (US$157 million) share buy-back.
Amcor Managing Director and CEO Ken MacKenzie said: "To achieve an 11.3 percent increase in underlying earnings was an outstanding effort, given subdued economic conditions and a A$35 million (US$37 million) adverse impact on reported earnings due to the appreciation of the Australian dollar."
Amcor Rigid Plastics division's PBIT increased 8.8 percent to A$264.1 million (US$275.8 million). Successful integration of the Ball Plastic Packaging Americas acquisition drove the growth.
MacKenzie said two "transformational acquisitions" during the global financial crisis - Alcan Packaging and Ball – were key earnings growth components for the financial year. He said both acquisitions' integration programs are ahead of schedule in timing and synergy benefits.
In 2010, Amcor bought parts of Rio Tinto Group's Paris-based Alcan Packaging business for about US$2 billion and acquired Ball Americas' assets for US$280 million. Ball was a unit of Broomfield, Colo.-based Ball Corp.
However, the Australian economy's uncertain outlook and the high Australian dollar have impacted on Amcor's Australasia & Packaging Distribution business's earnings.
Amcor said the division's PBIT decreased 4.5 percent to A$152.5 million (US$159.3 million). Sales increased only marginally by 1.3 percent to A$2.9 billion (US$3 billion). But MacKenzie said it was a "solid performance."

TWO MILLION players have now enjoyed Prison Architect. We are flabbergasted. We would like to thank every single one of you from the bottom of our hearts, for making this such a dream project.
After six years of development including over 40 monthly updates, this is the final content update for Prison Architect and the final video. We will of course continue fixing bugs and providing support. We are going to take a break for a little while, but we will be back soon with our next game.
Developer Tools and Cheats
Developer tools and cheats, seen in some of the alpha videos, are now available to everyone.

Thank you for the ongoing developement! GG
Re: Prison Architect Version 2.0 released
that's all she wrote..... (it's over)
Re: Prison Architect Version 2.0 released
Bruh the game is still missing something what happened to the properties option in the dev mode that you were showing us in 2.0 preview. I would at least like an answer to why its not implemented.
Re: Prison Architect Version 2.0 released

You can now set which misbehaviours warrant an increase or decrease in prisoner security.
For example, murder can be set to immediately make a prisoner Max-Sec.

i think you need add auto downgrade when its good behavior and have settings for points for getting good behavior
Re: Prison Architect Version 2.0 released
When I press F9 the menu doesn't pop up, why? I tried starting new prisons it still doesn't work
Re: Prison Architect Version 2.0 released
rsdworker wrote:i think you need add auto downgrade when its good behavior and have settings for points for getting good behavior
Indeed, it doesn't make much sense to be able to automatically downgrade the security rating of a prisoner, but only have incidents as trigger points. Should I set a murderer to med sec only because he was caught steeling luxuries?
Re: Prison Architect Version 2.0 released
I submitted a bug report a while go, which got one response, which after answering was ignored. Anyways, whenever I load the game on my computer, all the sprites seem to be jumbled up. (Icons, objects, people are all mixed together) In addition, in the menus, recent features' titles are abbreviated into things like "codex.steamtrending" where the "Trending Items on Steam Workshop" button would be. Certain buttons that should be here are not as well, like the enable developer mode/cheats button when creating a new prison, and even the option to enable it in a brand new save file. (I would like to note I am using the latest release of PA as well.) These issues make the game completely unplayable, and I will reply with more info/files if you guys don't have a known solution to the problem already.
Re: Prison Architect Version 2.0 released
A sad but bitter sweet day.
Re: Prison Architect Version 2.0 released
I've posted about tonnes of bugs and issues in the forums, I can't get access to mantis....I hope they will be looked into as well in future.
I'd like to see more interaction between the devs and the people and ESPECIALLY more moderation. I feel like no one is here, and if that's to do with visibility then perhaps Devs/staff need bigger badges.
Also why is this not in news? lol
And how do I update? I bought through GOG not Steam.

So this is a weird one, and it's from Ohio. Bubba Watson was in Columbus this week for the Memorial Tournament—a tournament for which he did not make the cut. But he has a pretty good excuse: for 37 minutes Tuesday night, some unknown driver chased a car carrying Watson, his wife and newly adopted child.
"A car chased me," he said after a 74 in Friday's second round at the Memorial. "Angie was driving. She had to pull over. I switched to driving so I could drive through someone's yard if I had to. But we had to drive away from our house, the house we rented. We drove for 37 minutes."
Watson called his caddie, Ted Scott, hoping that Scott could intercept the pursuing car.
Watson and his family were on their way home from a Christian music concert he hosted that evening before the night turned in to something out of a Steve McQueen film or, you know, something out of a T.V. show.
Florida may have the market cornered on straight up insanity, but Ohio is making a valiant effort to keep up in the creepy department. Unfortunately, Bubba is taking this as a sign to redouble his efforts to find a new home...in Florida. Don't do it, Bubba—that's exactly what they want you to do.

| 2.6°C Belfast
Harlequins remain in contention for a place in this season's Aviva Premiership play-offs after securing a 30-29 victory over Exeter at Sandy Park which ended the Chiefs' hopes of a European play-off.
Exeter head coach Rob Baxter had asked to see some pride restored within the ranks with a passionate display in the club's penultimate league game of the season and he got just that as they led 16-5 at the break.
Chiefs fly-half Gareth Steenson had kicked three penalties and converted scrum-half Dave Lewis' 15th-minute try with Harlequins only response coming through a try from wing Ugo Monye.
The home side extended their lead when Steenson converted their second try from wing Matt Jess and added two penalties only for Quins to storm back thanks to tries from Nick Evans, Danny Care and Tom Guest with two conversions and two penalties added by Evans.
Harlequins knew that they needed maximum points from their final two matches to take the final play-off place away from Bath, whom they host on Saturday in the final match of the regular season.
The visitors originally planned to make three changes from the side knocked out of the Amlin Challenge Cup semi-final by Northampton a week ago but then England full-back Mike Brown and wing Sam Smith pulled out.
They were replaced by Ollie Lindsay-Hague and Monye, who was making his first appearance since March due to injury.
Exeter were on the scoreboard first, Steenson landing his opening penalty when the visitors were penalised 41 metres out after an attempted interception.
When the Chiefs had another kickable opportunity they opted to kick for the corner. They set up a driving maul before releasing the ball to Lewis who found a gap and leapt over the line close to the posts.
Steenson converted, but.Quins replied almost immediately as Monye broke down the right touchline and evaded Steenson to score in the corner.
Evans' conversion attempt went across the face of the posts but Steenson stretched the Chiefs' lead with another 40-metre penalty from in front of the posts.
A turnover ball allowed Steenson to thump the ball downfield but Monye just won the chase, only to be penalised for failing to release. Steenson landed another three points to give the Chiefs a 16-5 half time lead.
Quins started the second period strongly but Jess mounted a counter-attack to release Ian Whitten. The outside centre continued the move, sold a dummy and passed back inside for Jess to score under the posts.
Steenson added the extras but, just as in the first half, Quins' response was immediate with a solo try from Evans which he duly converted. Chiefs then had lock Damian Welch sent to the sin-bin and Evans landed the penalty.
As the hour mark approached Evans landed another three points to reduce the arrears to five points. T he TMO was again called into action as the Chiefs were awarded a 22-metre penalty as prop Joe Marler took replacement scrum-half Hayden Thomas off the ball, and Steenson slotted another three points.
Despite Exeter being back to full strength Quins went in search of two more tries as number eight Nick Easter put scrum-half Care clear on a 20-metre dash to the line. Evans' conversion reduced the arrears to one point.
Steenson added another 20-metre penalty with seven minutes remaining but Quins claimed their bonus point from a short line-out, with replacement back row Guest touching down to give the visitors a one-point lead and victory.
