McCue passes: Legendary UVA sports doc dies at 82
The sports and hand surgeon who treated so many generations of University of Virginia athletes that they created a society and a building in his honor has died at the age of 82. Retired orthopedic surgeon Dr. Frank C. McCue III, who headed the UVA sports medicine program for over 40 years, died Sunday, July 8.
The accolades have been pouring in from athletes– and even from a celebrated non-athlete.
"He was just a heck of a wonderful guy," says Phil Bradley. "They don't come any better than that."
Bradley was injured in the deadliest plane wreck in Charlottesville history, the 1959 crash of Piedmont Flight #349; and he recalls fondly how McCue– then just a medical resident– helped another doctor wrench his hip back into place after Bradley spent 36 hours trapped as the sole survivor on Buck's Elbow Mountain.
"He got down on his knees," recalls Bradley, "and started tugging on my leg. And I said, 'you got it in that time.'"
McCue, who injured a hand in the move, would frequently return to the convalescing Bradley's bedside and chat into the evening.
"What a humanitarian that guy was," says Bradley. "He had a love for everybody."
In an email sent to local media, former UVA basketball coach and athletic director Terry Holland remembers how the man simply called "Doc" and wife Nancy would invite recovering players into their home for speedier recovery. Holland says McCue would gladly stitch up Holland's players, family members– and even Holland himself– after regular work hours.
"Just bring them over to the house," Holland quotes McCue as saying– as the doctor "would excuse himself from a dinner party or whatever he and his family were doing."
McCue retired in 2003, fifteen years after a sports medicine scholarship society was created in his honor and a dozen years after the McCue Center, UVA's main athletics support building, was similarly dedicated.
"While there are many wonderful doctors who have followed in his footsteps," says Holland, "there will never be anyone as unique as Dr. McCue was in his time on this earth."Read more on: Dr. Frank C. McCue III

Doc fixed my broken and dislocated wrist when I was in Grad school and playing softball in the mid 1980's. The resident had just told me that I needed surgery to get everthing back into place when Doc came in, gave me a local, then put my hand in a Chinese finger trap kind of a thing and hung some weights off my elbow. Next thing I know he's grabbed ahold of my broken wrist and was moving the bones back into place. It was unbelievable and made a grinding kind of a sound. But when he sent me back to X-ray, everything was back where it needed to be. We still weren't sure if it would heal properly so I saw him every month or so for the next six months. Toward the end he even made me a special cast that I could take off to play squash with and do rehad exersizes that he taught me. Complete recovery and he never sent me a billl......Thanks Doc.
When I heard of his passing, I thought he was the same one who treated Phil Bradley after his 1959 plane crash. I heard him and Mr. Bradley speak at the 50th anniversary
memorial at Mint Springs. What a story!

There are daft people sitting in positions of power in this country and we'd better be afraid...truly afraid.
Imagine the San Fernando Businessmen ASSociation, comprised no doubt of businessmen and women from South Trinidad is eagerly proclaiming Better a POLICE State than a CRIMINAL State.
I immediately harked back to the SoE of 2011 when on the night Kamla Persad-Bissessar and her Small Goal Team made the announcement many members of the middle, upper and business classes heaved huge sighs of relief because finally some government was brave enough to lock up all them black people and them....oh yeah...you better recognise that that is what all the relief about the SoE was.....that's the same thing that fuelled the anti-Sea Lots rant by Darryll Heeralal and Renuka Singh the other day too....all these damn black people...let's kill them and plant cabbage on them! YEAH!!!!!
Now, we have a group of businesspeople, or the body that represents them coming out to endorse a Police State because the PPG's Defence Amendment Bill, is under siege both inside and outside the Parliament....and for good cause.
Apparently Daphne Bartlett's knickers are in a knot about why we don't want soldiers to have powers of arrest....and like the political leader of this country, Daphne Bartlett has just dealt a severe blow to all intelligent women in the world every where who happen to be attractive, for her colossal intellectual laziness.
I say this because I want to believe Ms Bartlett doesn't know what a police state is and in her ignorance does not know what she is encouraging or endorsing.
The version of the Defence Amendment Bill that I accessed online says the following:
The Bill seeks to amend section 5 of the Defence Act, Chap. 14:01 to confer on any member of the Defence Force who is engaged in assisting any member of the Police Service in the maintenance of law and order, with the same powers, authorities, privileges and immunities as are given by law to members of the Police Service.
In plain wording...the Bill wants to give the exact powers of the Police to a Soldier once he is on patrol.
One of the clever little things that this pdf of the legislation doesn't quite outline is that Soldiers by law do not fall under the Commissioner of Police, rather authority for soldiers fall under three people: the Chief of Defence Staff, Minister of National Security and ultimately the President, who is Commander in Chief.
So the soldier will have all of the powers of a police officer: the ability to detain you, search you, arrest you, question/interrogate you, charge you and lock you up. But he doesn't fall under the jurisdiction of the Commissioner of Police.
Says it right here:
When any member of the Defence Force having been charged under subsection (2) with Enactment Short title Section 5 of Chap. 14:01 amended the duty of assisting any member of the Police Service in the maintenance of law and order and is engaged in so doing, he shall have the same powers, authorities, privileges and immunities as are given by law to members of the Police Service.".
If he cocks up on the job he is only likely to face a court marshall. If you think Police doh face prison here...wait till Soldier Police arrive!
Now let me explain how a soldier getting these privileges amounts to a Police State. Last night in Parliament Roodal Moonilal was again less than honest with the nation when he said even security officers are precepted. What he failed to explain is that precepted security officers....those allowed to carry weapons and make arrests are actually called Estate Constables and operate by a slightly different set of rules to regular security guards.
This Government, in trying to shove this bill down our throats, has gone into all kinds of arguments about how the army here has no purpose because we have no war for soldiers to fight except the war on drugs. Now, lemme ask you this...when this Government starts its "WAR on DRUGS" and deploys its soldiers to attack the citizenry....which citizens you think will be attacked? The people who bringing in the shipments of drugs....or the people who are used to control the drug blocks?
In all sane and proper countries the purpose of the army is to defend the citizens of a country, not attack them. If Kamla and Jack were serious about fighting crime and waging a war on drugs the country would have three OPV Vessels with a joint patrol of Soldiers and Coast Guard members on board these vessels protecting our borders from traffickers or drugs and guns....but the point of precepting soldiers and making Soldier Police here isn't to fight crime or to wage a war on drugs....
If you believe that, then you believe the SoE was about fighting crime, protecting the PM from several assassination attempts and preventing Beetham from bunkering fuel.
This precepting of soldiers and making soldiers into police is about something deeper and far sinister. It is about controlling the State.
From as early as June 2010 this government has faced Opposition. The first active opposition came from the THA. And to date the people of Tobago are down on record as having been the most successful at resisting this government thanks to solid legislation in the THA Act and a Chief Secretary who knows his Constitution and isn't afraid to assert himself. But this Defence Bill will affect Tobago too...and I am yet to hear its position.
For several months the PP administration enjoyed a delicious honeymoon with both the citizens and the media. People couldn't get enough of Kamla dashing about in hard hat and OSHA gear by day as she swooped in on a helicopter to aid the flood afflicted, and by night would transform into an elegant Prime Minister. Haven't we been accused often enough of "jealousing the PM because she pretty"?
But then came the Reshmi Ramnarine incident....the hiring of telephone operator to run the country's highest intelligence -gathering agency. What accompanied it too was the thorough and deliberate dismantling of all the country's security apparati: Blimp, OPVs, Surveillance Equipment, SAUTT.
Then the government brought in a CoP they could manipulate and under whom they could promote and appoint their own select police officers into positions of authority. We have on record a letter from a mid-level police officer who appears to be giving advice to the Prime Minister on who to hire and fire in both the SIA and the Police Service. The basis given for firing people is political. According to the letter, Persad advises the PM to fire people because they seem loyal to the PNM. And we were angry at the Jamaica Observer for talking about ethnic cleansing in our Public Service why? What that letter outlined was that this is a government bent on political retribution and there is no space in the country for anyone who is PNM or resembles a PNM....and in Trinidad to resemble a PNM you need only have Afro-centric features....if that isn't both partisan and racist, I don't know what is....but that is the government we have...a government that is only for it's people: the UNC/COP Base!
It doesn't surprise me at all that both the PM and this Police Officer share a last name.
But I digress...I need to explain how precepted soldiers and Police State are linked.
So the Reshmi incident happens followed fast and furious by many scandals and then comes the SoE. From August 2011, I said the SoE was only the beginning of the Constitutional ills of this government. The SoE got citizens used to the idea of detaining and locking up people who "look" like criminals. In Trinidad a criminal "looks" like a black person, usually from depressed poor areas. Trust me, the stereotypes are there. In the very first days of the SoE I had several women of Indo descent telling me about how safe they were feeling....not a crime had been solved...but the mere fact that the government had taken upon itself to lock up people who "looked" like criminals made these women happier. And that's when I realised that Hulsie Bhaggan's myth of the African rapist who lusts only after Indian women was still alive and well. You go girl!
During that SoE we got accustomed to images of black men in the back of trucks; we got accustomed to images of the AG and Minister of National Security on our tv sets regularly. The AG went after a 14-year-old girl who used YouTube to verbally attack and curse the PM for the SoE....and on Facebook you had feminists lamenting how the PM and Indian women have no voice in Trinidad and couldnt speak out on issues.. they didn't seem particularly perturbed that an impressionable 14-year-old, who did shit, now had the might of the State in the form of the AG trained on her. You see, these women were all glad that at long last something was being done about the crime....and that something was the random and baseless locking up of people who look like criminals....black people.
The next threat during that SoE was intimidating people on FaceBook and other forms of Social media. Social media takes power out of a government's hands and puts it in the hands of its citizens. Imagine tens of thousands of Trinis able to say what they like about the PM and AG and Jack can't stop them? Madness!
So they began to attack people on Social Media and trained their paid bloggers to attack folks who spoke out against the government.
What became apparent and obvious was fear...people became concerned about what they were posting and saying to each other online. Because folks began to lose jobs or get threats.
Now jump forward to Warner becoming National Security Minister. UNC people were joyful, they knew their government wasn't performing and because Warner talks a good talk, without having little to show for any of it, they believed Jack would solve the crime problem.
Within three days of becoming Minister of National Security what did Warner do? He used the might of the army to attack not criminals....protesters. Try and see the trend here folks....at every turn the people being attacked as criminals by this government are the people who are either seen to be PNM or to be opposing the government. anything remotely resembling Opposition has to be squashed.
Warner has since issued threats to a female journalist, the Opposition Leader and a private citizen, Donald Bell. The journalist was targeted in a live, state-sponsored broadcast featuring the Minister of National Security and several other government ministers all hell bent on attacking a journalist. The other two people he attacked under the privilege of Parliament.
On all three occasions what is implied is that Warner has tremendous state apparati at his disposal. He can spy on people and intercept information and use it to intimidate people.
To date, Warner, as National Security Minister hasn't used any of the surveillance equipment at hand to uncover details about any criminals or to crack any cases....but we know that he knows who having meetings in their homes and who attending...right?
The same man who doesn't know a thing about the Flying Squad, can use intelligence to spy on private citizens.
So now we have a situation where a National Security Minister drunk on power and a Prime Minister drunk on....sighh....have taken it upon themselves to precept soldiers and give them powers of arrest and detention.
In a country where a State of Emergency can be called without due process or a valid reason and 8000 people, of whom 80% were of African descent, can be detained without evidence, do we want Soldier Police?
In a country where a Minister of National Security can use state surveillance equipment to spy on and intimidate citizens do we want Soldier Police?
In a country where a secret police Unit can be set up under the same Minister of National Security, complete with 75 officers and a private detention prison in Arouca that no one in the country knows about, do we want Soldier Police?
In a Police State the government controls the social, economic and political life of the citizens.
In a Police State the government imposes these controls on you claiming it is for you own security that your rights are being taken away.
In a Police State after you have given away these rights, even more rights are then taken away....at each point the state claims it is for your own good, for teh safety and security of the NAYYYYSHUN!
The first people targeted are those who oppose the Government publicly...thereafter anything goes as the government becomes more and more paranoid about the perceived enemies of the state.
Think of Nazi Germany, South Africa under apartheid; Haiti under Duvalier.....think Ton Ton Macoute, SS Officers. Think people being quietly arrested and detained and you don't know which prison cell they are being held in and eventually their beaten or dead body shows up...their one crime being they didn't agree with the government's position on an issue.
A five-year-old can tell you that there are a number of ways this government could be tackling crime. Start with the money launderers and see where the trail ends. Clean up the police service so that corrupt officers are no longer protecting drug lords and their turf. Restrict the flow of arms and ammunition across our borders; improve detection skills in the police force and at forensic technology at crime labs.
But putting 1000 soldiers with the powers of arrest under the Ministry of National Security to wage a war against citizens isn't the way. This isn't about Warner alone....CDS Kenrick Maharaj doesn't inspire me with confidence either, nor does Stephen Williams. And I won't even bother to discuss PM Kamla. This is about an entire government and its cronies that are drunk on power and will do everything to hold onto it, including removing the rights of its citizens. Section 34 ring a bell?
There is a reason the Sunset Clause lasts two years....by that time a new election is called. Two years to lock down and terrorise a country with an unofficial SoE. Two years to have the government's specially picked Soldier Police run riot in this town.
If in 3 months the SoE managed to lock up 8000 people, imagine what this government will do in 24....
And this is the asinine decision that Daphne Bartlett and Associates are supporting?

My 27-year-old girlfriend has two kids (ages 10 and 5). She is financially stable and owns her own house. We began planning to get married, but then she said she didn't want any more children. She cites the financial burden, the time a baby would take from "us," how she'd be starting all over again, and not wanting to do that to her body again. I think she's being selfish, seeing me as good enough to help raise her two girls but not good enough to have a child with. I want a child who's genetically related to me, who I can raise and form from the start. I told her, if she won't have a baby, I won't take the next step and get married and purchase a house together. Am I in the wrong here, or is she?
— Feeling Used
It's always so cute when a man announces "WE'RE having a baby!" — as if "WE" will be getting huge, bloated, and hormonal, and nuzzling the toilet bowl for nine months. And then there's the really fun part, when WE get strapped to a table, legs spread, and we're surrounded by strangers shouting "Push! Push!" (As if it's sheer laziness that keeps a person from squeezing a Mack truck out a carport-sized opening.)
Your fiancée was a teen mother way back before you'd get a reality series for that and has now spent over a third of her life being somebody's mommy. Not surprisingly, she isn't into having yet another human being to be responsible for for the next 20-plus years — understanding all too well that "Hey, can we get a new person?!" isn't like getting another kitten (as in, what's one more once you've already got two shedding on the couch?).
Unfortunately, it seems you assumed there'd be some sort of kid pro quo here: You drive her kids to soccer and admire their crayonings, and she'd make you a kid of your own. You're right to expect some really big hugs for doing the stand-in dad thing, but just because she has the womanparts doesn't mean she owes it to you to fire up the assembly line and give you an heir. What you're calling selfishness on her part is actually a sign of emotional health — not being so needy that she'd agree to be your baby vending machine, only to end up resentful and angry ("Here's your lunchbox, you little snot!").
You don't get a kid out of her by acting like one — sniffling that you're "not good enough to have a child with" and announcing, "No baby, no marry, no housie!" Instead of trying to pout and guilt her into more motherhood, discuss this like adults to see whether there's any wiggle room here. (Don't get your hopes up.) As for your question about which one of you is in the wrong, you're probably just wrong for each other. Ultimately, this could be one of those unfortunate situations where love just isn't enough. Two people also have to want the same major things: Must love dogs. Must want kids. Need to be horsewhipped daily.
Should this relationship crash and burn, try to learn from it: If you really, really want to be something's dad, prudent family planning involves casually putting that out there as early as the first date. This isn't foolproof, but it beats the other kind of family planning: planning to swap out the wife's birth control pills for 30 days of Tic Tacs: "Gee, my Ortho-Novum tastes minty-fresh!"
Mommy dirtiest
Last week, my 25-year-old daughter's ex-boyfriend said hi to me in a bar, and one thing led to another, and we ended up in bed. I felt absolutely terrible about what happened, and then my daughter, out of the blue, announced that she's finally over him. In fact, she insisted she is. Is there any way I could keep seeing him, and if so, should I tell her?
— Don't Want To Lose My Daughter
A mother doesn't risk her relationship with her daughter for just anything. In your case, somebody has to say hi. (One wonders what you'd do for "Lovely weather we're having" or "Have a nice day.") If you care at all about your daughter, think hard about what creepy, narcissistic competitiveness led you to go home with her ex and how creepy you're still being, wondering how you might snag her okay to go back for seconds. Sure, your daughter said she's over the guy. And she could be — more than anybody has ever been over anybody — and still never get over hearing her mother say, "Oh, sweetie, I bumped into your ex … and then I ground into him for hours."

Broad Creek�De�Andre Thompkins showed why he�s heading to Penn State next year to play football.
Broad Creek�De�Andre Thompkins showed why he�s heading to Penn State next year to play football.
The Swansboro standout scored three touchdowns and collected 215 total yards, carrying the ball seven times for 183 yards and catching four passes for 32 yards in leading the Pirates to a 29-6 win over Croatan.
The nonconference, inter-county rivalry win in the 8th Annual Ben & Jerry's Bowl improves Swansboro's record to 4-1 while Croatan dropped to 0-5.
Swansboro established its dominance early in the game. On its first possession at its 19-yard line, the Pirates marched 81 yards in 6� minutes, a march that culminated with a 6-yard run by quarterback Chris Phipps to put the visitors on the board at 6-0.
Justin Peck�s point after was good and Swansboro never looked back.
Despite the lopsided win, Swansboro head coach Tim Laspada envisioned a much closer score as he prepared his team given the rivalry over the past seasons.
�Croatan is a good and well-coached team,� Laspada said. �We executed when we had to and our kids never quit. We got to clean up some stuff, but I�m proud of our kids,�
Croatan�s first two possessions were fruitless. On their third play from scrimmage Andrew Colborn�s pass was intercepted by the Markuise Hemby at the Croatan 49. Swansboro stalled on the ensuing drive but punted away, pinning Croatan on its own 3.
Croatan failed to move the ball and forced to punt with their kicker standing in the end zone. A low snap led to a safety and Swansboro jumped to a 9-0 lead.
Croatan�s only score came in the fourth quarter on an 8-play, 74-yard drive, much of it fueled by the running of Ethan Bridges, who carried for 49 yards on three carries before getting injured on a bruising tackle after a 28-yard gallop down the right sidelines.
Bridges was down for more than five minutes as trainers and his mother and father stood beside him on the field. Bridges was helped off the field and did not return suffering a bruised left hip.
The Cougars later scored on a 4-yard run by backup quarterback Justin Locklear with 1:51 left in regulation. Locklear replaced Andrew Colborn, who went down at 6:36 in the second quarter with an ankle injury.
Croatan head coach David Perry said his team never gave up.
�Like always, we never give up. We were down 23-0 at halftime and you would have thought it was 0-0. We just play our normal self. We moved the ball a little in the second half, but we never gave up. I�m proud of our kids,� Perry said.
But the star of the evening was Thompkins who gave fans sitting in both bleachers � including East Carolina head coach Ruffin McNeill who stood on the Pirate sidelines during the first half with reason to smile as the Penn State-bound senior exhibited his athleticism exploding through defenders with runs of 72, 58 and 34 yards.
On the Pirates first possession to start the second quarter, Thompkins lined up under center and took the snap cutting left past his guard and darted through the secondary with mercurial speed on his way to a 72-yard touchdown run.
After the game, Thompkins mingled with fans and teammates while enjoying a dish of Ben & Jerry�s ice cream and dished out accolades to his teammates for providing him opportunities to move the football.
�Personally, I had a great game, but overall we had a wonderful game tonight,� Thompkins said. �My team gelled together. We had a good time. The seniors stressed to just have fun. Don�t go down on one play if something bad happens pick somebody up. I�m a nice, neat and organized guy and when it gets ugly my team is behind me.�

Radiation and Tamoxifen for DCIS
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
In August, I was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ. I had a lumpectomy and am currently going through 38 days of radiation. Will the radiation make less the chances of it recurring? And would tamoxifen make a difference? I am currently 43 years old I have been told that I would not be a good candidate with a history of blood clotting in my family.
Lawrence J. Solin, MD, FACR, Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a form of very early breast disease that involves the ducts of the breast, but does not invade (or infiltrate) beyond the ducts. Since this type of problem is not invasive, treatment is typically designed mainly to treat the breast. Randomized studies have shown that adding radiation treatment after lumpectomy increases the likelihood that the disease will be controlled and not recur in the breast. Randomized studies are considered to be one of the strongest forms of evidence that a treatment (in this case radiation treatment) is effective.
With regards to tamoxifen, one randomized trial has shown that tamoxifen is effective in increasing the likelihood that the disease will not recur. However, as with any drug, there are some potential side effects that might preclude its use in an individual patient, and clotting disorders are one such potential side effect of tamoxifen. Each individual patient needs to discuss these issues with her doctor.

When your nickname is "The Hybrid," perhaps change should be expected.
So when UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub decided more than two years ago to move from Denver to Los Angeles in an effort to right a two-fight losing streak, guess what happened.
"Life changing" is how Schaub describes it.
The former University of Colorado fullback hopes to keep things the same for now as he looks to build on his two-fight winning streak when he faces former heavyweight champion Andre Arlovski on the main card of UFC 174 on Saturday in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Much is being made of Arlovski's return to the Octagon, where he hasn't fought since 2008, nearly two years after he was dethroned by Tim Sylvia at UFC 59.
But Schaub (10-3) is familiar with stepping into the cage against legends. He holds a TKO victory over former Pride champion Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic at UFC 128 in March 2011 before getting knocked out five months later by Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, another former Pride champion, at UFC 134.
"I've fought some pretty big names here. For me, it's just part of the game," said Schaub, 31. "I was a huge fan of 'Cro Cop.' He's my absolute all-time favorite. And Arlovski, I'm a big fan of too. For me it's just another day in the office. I've gotta get this win. And on to the next one."
Arlovski (21-10, 1 NC) left the UFC with a 10-4 record — 3-2 in title fights — after his contract expired. He continued fighting for a series of promotions, which Schaub said makes scouting his opponent not as easy as some might think.
To him, there's no comparison to watching someone fight in the UFC.
"It's not the same thing. The nerves are different, the stage is different, the lights are different, the pressure's different," said Schaub, who has been in the UFC after reaching the finals of "The Ultimate Fighter" in late 2009. "For me to look at him fighting in World Series (of Fighting), then some grab-ass promotion in Russia, it's tough to kind of base off where he's at right now."
That being said, the 14th-ranked UFC heavyweight knows better than to take the 35-year-old Arlovski lightly.
"I've got a tough fight, man. This guy is as tough as they come," said Schaub, who is 6-foot-4 and 245 pounds. "He's a legend. The only way to kind of show him respect is to go in there and put it to him."
To get where he's at, though, Schaub had to make the decision to move to Los Angeles.
Leaving Colorado, where he was born and grew up in Aurora, was not an easy choice, but one he knew was best for his career.
"Being a world champ in Denver, it'd have been tough," Schaub said. "When you're a big fish in a small pond, I don't think that's the best thing."
Upon arriving in Los Angeles, suddenly he was a small fish in a much bigger pond — and he embraced it.
He aligned himself with former boxing pro Tony Jeffries at Box'N Burn gym in Santa Monica, Rener and Ryron Gracie at the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy in Torrance and fellow UFC fighter Mark Munoz and his team at Reign Training Center in Orange County.
"I feel like I've got the blueprint to be a champion. I sought out the very best of the best in every aspect of the game, so I'm really excited about things," said Schaub, who lives in Marina del Rey. "It's gonna be tough to beat this version of Brendan 2.0."
So far, the updated version has been a success. Schaub took a unanimous-decision victory over Lavar Johnson at UFC 157 in February 2013, then followed that by choking Matt Mitrione unconscious in the first round at UFC 165 in September.
For Schaub, who had finished seven of his nine victories by knockout going into the Mitrione fight, getting a submission victory — and becoming the only heavyweight in UFC history to end a fight with a D'Arce choke — is just as sweet.
"Before, I was labeled just this knockout artist, which I can very well still do. But at the same time, I can take you to the ground and submit you," Schaub said. "I think it's good, and they have to worry about all aspects now. That's what you want in this game. That's the evolution of the sport."
And when not driving all over Southern California and training, Schaub has joined comedian Bryan Callen for a weekly podcast on Fox Sports called "The Fighter and the Kid," which is growing in popularity.
Callen has been referring to Schaub as "Big Brown" rather than "The Hybrid." The two decided to have a contest with their listeners. If 100 people tweeted at UFC President Dana White to change Schaub's nickname, Schaub said he'd comply.
So far, he says, they are in the neighborhood of 1,300 tweets advocating for "Big Brown."
Whether the fans hear that announced Saturday before his fight with Arlovski remains to be seen.
"I think so … I don't know who we gotta go through," Schaub said. "But I did make a deal, so we'll see how that goes."
Perhaps change is good after all.

SAIC-Frederick and Biomatrica Collaborate to Improve Molecular Analysis in Cancer Research
|(Nanowerk News) SAIC-Frederick, Inc. and Biomatrica have begun a technology collaboration to improve molecular analysis of tumors, which is becoming increasingly important in cancer research and in the design of the next generation of targeted therapies.
|The two organizations will focus on developing better processes to isolate nucleic acids from tumor samples collected by pathologists in the clinic. Preserving nucleic acids, particularly RNA, is important for correlating histology of tumor tissues and molecular analysis. Traditional methods for preserving these nucleic acids are not well adapted to the clinical setting, however, so their usefulness in research has been limited.
|The collaboration was developed under the Advanced Technology Partnerships Initiative (ATPI) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI). SAIC-Frederick is the operations and technical support contractor for NCI's federal national laboratory in Frederick, Md., and facilitates partnerships for the ATPI, which aims to move basic research findings more rapidly into the clinic to benefit patients.
|Under the collaboration, SAIC-Frederick researchers at the Laboratory Animal Sciences Program will explore integration of proprietary reagents from Biomatrica into molecular pathology workflows. The objective is to streamline processes while increasing efficiency and integrity of RNA isolated from histological samples in cancer studies.
|"Our team continually explores better ways to conduct assays. This collaboration with Biomatrica may improve isolation of nucleic acids from histological samples, particularly very labile RNA molecules," said Larry Sternberg, Ph.D., Director of the Histology Section of the Laboratory Animal Sciences Program. Sternberg is employed by SAIC-Frederick, which operates the facility for NCI.
|Conventional RNA isolation from histological samples is typically a low-throughput operation that requires considerable infrastructure and can be too expensive for large-scale studies. The collaboration has the potential to change this paradigm.
|"We have developed novel formulations that protect nucleic acids (RNA and DNA) in blood, tissue, cell lines, saliva, biopsy material, etc. at room temperature with comparable or better performance than traditional ultra-cold temperature systems. These products have the added benefits of yielding significant cost savings, improved workflow, higher sample quality, scalability and flexibility," said Dr. Rolf Muller, Biomatrica's President, Chief Scientific Officer and Founder. "We are excited to be partnering with a leading scientific organization such as SAIC-NCI in developing new technologies for better management of critical biological samples in cancer research."
|About SAIC-Frederick
|SAIC-Frederick, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), a Fortune 500® company, is the operations and technical support contractor for the National Cancer Institute's research and development center in Frederick, Md. This is a national laboratory dedicated to rapidly translating basic research into new technologies for diagnosing, treating, and preventing cancer and AIDS. SAIC-Frederick maintains a full suite of advanced technologies in areas such as nanotechnology, genomics and imaging; operates the federal government's drug and vaccine manufacturing facilities; operates the high-performance Advanced Biomedical Computing Center; and supports more than 300 clinical trials for patients in the United States and around the world. http://www.saic-frederick.com
|About Biomatrica
|Biomatrica is a San Diego-based biostability company that provides innovative technologies for stabilizing, processing, storing, shipping and assaying biological samples at room temperature. The core technology is designed for use in preserving complex biological samples and assays and is based on the principles of anhydrobiosis ("life without water"), a natural mechanism that allows multicellular organisms to survive extreme environments. Biomatrica's current products stabilize DNA and RNA with no sample degradation, thus labs can reduce their reliance on freezers and drastically reduce shipping costs. Biomatrica products are used in laboratories performing life science research, from pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to academic research and forensics laboratories. Custom services to stabilize additional sample types such as proteins are also available. http://www.biomatrica.com

This article is courtesy of Project AWARE.
PADI dive store owners from across New South Wales (NSW), Australia have united, writing to Premier O'Farrell urging him to reverse the decision to allow fishing in marine sanctuaries and reinstate the protection the ocean requires.
Richard Nicholls, Owner of Dive Centre Manly and Retail Representative with the Dive Industry Association of Australia. and Tom Cordukes, Owner of Plunge Diving, Mosman, presented the Dive Industry Statement to key Government representatives. Signed by 30 NSW PADI Dive Store owners, this statement raises concerns for their businesses following the State Government's action to open fully-protected sanctuary areas to fishing.
"Sanctuary areas are a major asset to the dive industry providing a safe haven for our unique marine life as well as protecting some of NSW's most iconic dive sites," said Richard.
"The chance to encounter iconic species including the Eastern Blue Grouper and endangered Grey Nurse Shark in healthy marine environments provides a major attraction for divers to visit."
The state government's decision earlier this year, placed an amnesty on fishing restrictions in NSW sanctuary areas posing a very real threat to the marine environment and the dive industry upon which it depends.
"Sanctuary areas cover less than seven percent of NSW waters extending along only four percent of the coastline, fishers therefore still have access to over 93 percent of waters," said Tom.
"It's really only a small area that's set aside for marine protection in comparison to the area that fishers have access to. If anything, we should be protecting it more not less."
In the next month, the state government is expected to make major announcements regarding the management of sanctuary areas including that fishing may be permanently allowed. NSW is the first jurisdiction in the world where marine protection has started to slide backwards. If such a reversal in marine protection is allowed to occur, it will likely have far wider implications for marine protection, setting a precedence nationally and internationally. Project AWARE will therefore continue to work with the dive industry to ensure that the marine environment is secured for generations to come.
Thank you to all PADI Members and Dive Centres who support Project AWARE. Please look out for more alerts from Project AWARE on how you can get involved.

ksecretsservice is a secrets management infrastructure aiming to replace KDE_Utils/kwallet.
All the sources of this infrastructure are located on quickgit.kde.org.
|store the secrets in a secure manner
|Public API to be used by KDE applications
|Tool used to synchronize secrets between several devices
|Let users browse secrets using the ksecrets:// protocol
|KWallet to KSecretsService conversion tool
Originally, this project was started as a freedesktop.org specification, that one could find here [[1]]. This specification is for a DBus daemon providing a means for applications to securely store and retrieve secrets information. Under KDE, this is considered an implementation detail and KDE applications are supposed to use the client API described above. However, this implementation detail is important to be known for those users mixing KDE and GNOME, as the freedesktop.org specification is also implemented by gnome-keyring. These user should make a choice about the actual daemon they want to activate and then stick with it, as no migration tool exists (yet) from ksecretsserviced to gnome-keyring or viceversa.

Home theater: 'Take This Waltz,' 'Certified Copy' offer off-beat romance
Looking to catch a film on Video on Demand or DVD or Blu-ray? Following are some of the newest options available to home theater aficionados.
'Take This Waltz'
Available on VOD beginning May 25
Actress Sarah Polley made her feature directorial debut with the achingly sad 2006 Alzheimer's drama "Away From Her." Her new film is funnier and sexier — albeit with an equally weighty core. Michelle Williams plays a flighty Toronto writer who develops a crush on her hunky new neighbor (Luke Kirby) that threatens to derail the comfortably childlike relationship she has with her cookbook-writing husband (Seth Rogen). As the crisis turns more serious, so does "Take This Waltz," though Polley's stylized dialogue and faintly fanciful tone keeps the movie from becoming too hard of a slog through a crumbling marriage. That mix of everyday problems with comic brightness can be jarring at times, but it's also partly the point of the film, which is about how young couples deal with the revelation that life won't always be some kooky rom-com. "Take This Waltz" opens in theaters in Los Angeles June 29.
'Certified Copy'
Criterion Blu-ray, $39.95
Legendary Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami goes international with his beguiling puzzle-film starring Juliette Binoche and William Shimell as a couple — possibly married, possibly strangers, possibly just actors in a movie — who spend a day walking around Tuscany, having an ever-shifting conversation about their ever-shifting relationship. "Certified Copy" will baffle those looking for explanations (or plot), but it should enchant those looking to watch attractive actors in a gorgeous locale, sharing powerful and playful moments. Criterion's DVD and Blu-ray edition include an Italian documentary about the film and interviews with Kiarostami, Binoche and Shimell.
'The Secret World of Arrietty'
Walt Disney, $29.99; Blu-ray, $39.99
Japan's animation masters Studio Ghibli do a typically superb job of adapting Mary Norton's classic children's novel "The Borrowers," about a sickly boy who visits his aunt in the country and discovers a family of miniature people living in the house's walls and floorboards. Director Hiromasa Yonebayashi captures the sense of wonder and white-knuckle suspense in Norton's book, but mainly he conveys the sense of proportion, always making sure the viewer knows just how tiny these "borrowers" are as they fight to survive. The DVD and Blu-ray don't have much in the way of special features, aside from a look at the original storyboards, a music video and some Japanese promotional materials. However, Ghibli fans will be pleased to know that Disney is releasing two more of the studio's classics on Blu-ray this week: Hayao Miyazaki's 1986 aerial adventure "Castle in the Sky," and Yoshifumi Kondo's beautiful 1995 teen romance "Whisper of the Heart." Available on VOD beginning today.
'The Woman in Black'
Sony, $30.99; Blu-ray, $35.99
Susan Hill's 1983 gothic horror classic has been developed previously into a long-running stage play and an acclaimed British TV movie, each of which took its own liberties with Hill's story, about a melancholy lawyer who stumbles into a mystery involving a ghostly figure and dead children. Director James Watkins and screenwriter Jane Goldman take a similarly free hand with their Hammer Films version, which stars Daniel Radcliffe as the solicitor who's trying to figure out why he's being plagued by a dark apparition. The film isn't fully faithful to Hill's plot, but it gets the book's spirit right, working some classic ghost-story scares into an evocative sketch of a world where the living envy the dead. The DVD and Blu-ray add two short featurettes and a chummy Watkins/Goldman commentary. Available on VOD beginning today.

Children Meet Nature at the Outdoor Academy for Kids (OAK) School
Ponds, hiking trails, and wildlife exhibits are the classroom spaces, and animals that wander into the area, including rabbits, snakes, toads and worms, are the classroom tools for forty 4K students in Green Bay.
The Outdoor Academy for Kids (OAK) School located at the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary is a new concept for Green Bay. It is the first nature-based four-year-old kindergarten program connected to a public school district in Wisconsin. The program is a partnership between UW-Green Bay, the Green Bay Area Public School District, and the City of Green Bay.
Admission is open to all, although families in the Green Bay Area Public School District have first choice for enrollment. The popular program is currently full with a waiting list.
Lessons are co-taught by a licensed teacher and a certified naturalist. Pre-service teachers from UW-Green Bay are gaining valuable hands-on experiences in environmental education and early childhood.
The four-year-olds use the outdoors for their classroom, except for bathroom breaks, snack time, and when extreme weather conditions exist. For example, twenty students recently worked together to construct an eagle's nest. This project involved engineering principles, math concepts, and collaboration. The overall program is based on four different domains — academic, physical, social and emotional.
Mike Reed is the director of the Wildlife Sanctuary. UW-Green Bay professors Scott Ashmann and Jennifer Lanter and Provost Julia Wallace are members of the OAK School Advisory Committee.

Top Democrats optimistic Congress will pass gun control legislation, with outside Washington help
Top Democrats expressed confidence Sunday that Congress will pass significant gun-control legislation, with the backing of Washington lawmakers and pressure from Americans across the country.
David Plouffe, a senior adviser for President Obama, acknowledged the president's gun-control proposals will need public support to pass in Congress and said the White House will try to "enlist" Americans in the debate through its newly formed, grassroots advocacy group.
"We are trying to enlist the American people in these debates," Plouffe said on CNN's "State of the Union," "The only way change is going to really happen and make progress is with the American people. … They need to be involved at the center of this and pushing here."
However, he argued that Obama essentially converting his re-election campaign into the group Organizing for Action doesn't mean the president has abandoned efforts to persuade congressional Democrats and Republicans to vote for more gun control – following the December 14 massacre at a Connecticut elementary school in which 20 first-graders and six adults were killed.
"We haven't given up on the inside game," Plouffe told "Fox News Sunday" earlier in the day. "You have to do both."
The president last week announced his gun-control plan, which includes enacting a new and stronger assault-weapons ban, limiting magazines to 10 rounds, background checks for prospective buyers and extending mental health treatment to young Americans.
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., also expressed confidence Sunday that Congress would pass some gun-control legislation, particularly his bill for universal background checks.
Schumer, chairman of the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that the background check proposal was the "sweet spot" of the debate and that Americans will likely see support for it "in the coming weeks."
Efforts by Democrats and some Republicans to pass gun-control legislation in Congress begin in earnest when lawmakers return to Washington after the inauguration.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., has said after the fatal shootings in Newtown, Conn., that she would introduce legislation calling for a 10-year ban on assault weapons, like the one she got Congress to pass in 1994.
Republicans on Sunday were less optimistic about Congress passing sweeping legislation.
Wyoming Republican Sen. John Barrasso said Obama's proposals won't even get a full Senate vote.
Barrasso told CNN's "State of the Union" that Democrats seeking re-election in a conservative state would not give their support.
"I don't think Sen. Harry Reid even brings it to the Senate floor because he has six Democrats up for election in two years in states where the president received fewer than 42 percent of the votes," he said.
Supporters of more gun-control legislation also will face strong opposition from gun-rights advocacy groups, particularly the National Rifle Association.

The Center for Teaching Excellence was established in 1994 through the vision of a group of interested volunteer faculty, administrators and staff who were inspired by the 1989 International Conference on Teaching Excellence in Austin, Texas. This planning group developed the mission and goals that would create "A Place for Faculty" to enable the enhancement of teaching potential and effectiveness. They wished to create a place for faculty to exchange ideas and resources, be assisted with course and lesson development, and have opportunities to learn new skills.
The originating group was transformed over the years to the CTE Leadership Team that now represents various academic areas on campus, and offers faculty advice on Center offerings and initiatives. The CTE is directed by an experienced group of faculty and staff with expertise in instructional design, curriculum development and instructional technology. The Center is operationally under the Academic Affairs Office, which gives staff direct access to the College's initiatives that impact faculty and students. The CTE is then able to respond in a timely manner to areas of support needed by the faculty.

The beauty of a Full-HD home projector is home entertainment on a large-scale, with a true cinematic experience. The PT-AR100 Full-HD LCD projector offers 1080p (1,920 x 1,080 pixel) resolution and a wide range of Panasonic imaging technologies, so your friends and family enjoy everything from movies and sports to video games, with stunning clarity in a large-screen format.
Bright, sharp images in any lighting condition
By combining an advanced optical unit and a new 280-W Red-Rich lamp, the PT-AR100 is able to generate an amazing 2,800 lumens of brightness. Assisted by Panasonic's Light Harmonizer 3 technology, this projector can then automatically adjust the picture quality of the image to match the living room or theatre, allowing for comfortable viewing across a range of lighting conditions. Built-in ambient light and colour sensors also work to constantly maintain bright, crisp pictures that match the viewing environment.
High contrast equals deeper blacks and brighter colour
An astounding contrast ratio of 50,000:1 provides a wide dynamic range to enhance the beauty in both dark and bright scenes. Panasonic technologies such as the Dynamic Iris Pro and Pure Colour Filter Pro combine to achieve a high purity level of the three primary colours—red, green and blue—while displaying deeper blacks, for a more natural colour appearance. In addition, the PT-AR100 excels at showing fine detail thanks to the Detail Clarity Processor 3 engine.
The right picture mode for all your favourite content
Seven different picture modes provide optimal performance for different content, including the highly important Cinema, Sport and Game modes. Movies can be enjoyed in Cinema 1 mode that has been tuned carefully to faithfully express the director's artistic intent. Panasonic has continued to work with Hollywood experts to deliver this ideal image reproduction for viewing movies. Game mode improves signal processing for better response time and also reveals gradation in saturated areas to show details that are otherwise lost in very dark areas. In Sports mode, together with the Motion Effect feature, the PT-AR100 improves detail on moving objects, resulting in intensified action.
Easy to set up and use
The 2x optical zoom lens provides a wide throw range and the projector's lens shift capability enables 65 percent vertical adjustment and 26 percent horizontal adjustment. What this means in real terms is that the PT-AR100 functions beautifully in a variety of different-rooms, from a small sized media room to a mini cinema. This outstanding set-up flexibility allows you to position the projector in the most convenient place, such as a shelf in front of or behind the seating area, or even suspended from the ceiling. The PT-AR100 is also equipped with two HDMI inputs, so multiple HD sources can be connected without an HDMI switcher. Automation, such as lighting and a motorised screen, is possible with the PT-AR100 because it comes equipped with two programmable 12-volt trigger terminals and VIERA Link.

Browns coach Rob Chudzinski has reached into his recent past to find his team's running backs coach.
John Settle was fired by the Panthers before Chudzinski left his post as the team's offensive coordinator, but it clearly wasn't because Chudzinski didn't think he was a capable running backs coach. If he did, Settle wouldn't have been hired by the Browns.
Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer confirms a report from FootballScoop.com that Settle has been hired as a member of Chudzinski's staff. Settle began his NFL coaching career as an offensive assistant with the Browns in 1995 and moved on to Baltimore and the college ranks before heading to Carolina.
In Cleveland, his main task will be maximizing the value of Trent Richardson, whose rookie year showed flashes of excellence amid a series of injuries that limited his output. The Panthers didn't get what they wanted out of their backs last season, although Chudzinski doesn't appear to think Settle was the reason for their underwhelming performance.
Settle played four years in the NFL with the Falcons, posting 1,024 yards and seven touchdowns in 1988 for a 5-11 Atlanta club. Settle was the first undrafted player since 1970 to cross the 1,000-yard mark and made the Pro Bowl that season.

Quillworker is a good book because it is exciting. The powers Wihio uses to keep Quillworker safe are what legends are made of, literally. The pictures are amazing. The illustrator uses many colors and patterns. He really captures the feeling of the legend. The red of the buffalo's eyes could make anyone feel scared. I also learned about different Cheyenne symbols and enjoyed drawing them. I noticed many of these symbols throughout the pictures in the book. They really tied the legend to real life.
I think this is a great book and would recommend it to anyone. There are amazing pictures, an interesting legend, and true facts about the Cheyenne people to read about at the end of the book. I have read it many times and never get tired of it.

Matthew Van Asselt is an artist mostly based out of Brooklyn, NY, when not seen on the road due to his similarly creative musical interests.
After finishing his BFA in Printmaking at Purchase College, State University of New York, in 2013, he received a scholarship residency with the Malaspina Printmakers Society of Vancouver. This led to a two-person exhibit entitled "Please Leave Nothing", presented with artist Cara Seccafien, in June of 2014.
Upon returning to New York, Van Asselt has since begun both a recording project called 'Real Life Buildings' and a publishing enterprise titled 'Mt. Home Arts'. The first of these endeavors brings the artist to the stage as a musical performer, and the second is an outlet for creating low-run artist books, fine-art prints, custom-packaged audio tapes and other interesting paper-based ephemerae, in collaboration with other artists.

Most people I speak to feel as though this is out of their depth. (It isn't but they simply feel it is.) So let's just look at a very trimmed down version of what I mean. Here's the situation with most websites. The site sells something and the site owner tells everyone how good their products and services are. (Nothing wrong with that) A few canny marketers even include some choice, specific testimonials. That's always a good idea too. But that's where it stops, which is a shame. Think about the last time you a purchase. Let's say you were looking to book a holiday. Did you just buy it or did you look around and see what other people were saying about the hotel or the resort or the airline or whatever? It's one of the reasons sites like tripadvisor.com are so valuable. It's why Ebay's feedback system is so valuable. It's why Google invented the Page Rank System.(Inbound links are treated like 'votes') Can people leave feedback on YOUR website? Can people see that their questions that they've posted have been answered and that you care about customer comments? In my humble opinion, it's not simply the amount of good feedback that's important, it's vital that you show people how you handle criticisms as well. As an aside, psychologically speaking, people are a LOT more likely to return to a site that they have interacted with in some way. How can you set this up? Well, there's loads of feedback ratings and blogs and forums systems around, whether they hosted by you or indeed anyone else. Anyone who is an MKLINK Private Training Member for example has access to all these :-) Loads of these scripts are free. Recently I've changed over to using the wordpress blog software and it's got vast optional features & plug ins. (I need to invest a lot of time on mine because it's only recently been changed over but I know it's time well spent.) Whichever system you use, enable people to leave their comments and suggestions on your website. The search engines will love it as well. When your site has loads of good information that people can comment on, you will also get more inbound links from other people and then it snowballs...

But did you know that you can use Ebay to List your business services as well? What I mean by this is that if you sell a service, such as if you're an accountant in Romford or a Yoga teacher in Brighton, then you can list your business on Ebay Classified Ads. And the good news - it's (currently) free of charge! Here's a helpful link http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/buy/buyer-ads.html It's easy to set up your listing and you simply renew it each month. (In some circumstances e.g. if you're selling cars then there is a small fee) There's No Auction With these classified ads, you simply list your products or services at the full price that you want to be paid. There's no bidding as such. And for services, you can list your prices in various ways, either by the cost of a job or your hourly rate. A lot of people list their services with a low introductory price to get more leads and make their money at the 'back end'. Given that Ebay gets so much traffic and classified ads can appear when people are searching then it makes sense to list your services because there's no overhead - apart from an initial few minutes of your time listing your services. Some people I've spoke to are doing very well with their Ebay Classified Ads it so I just thought I'd share this with you. Want more information?

MKLINK Internet Marketing Tips Category : General | By : mklink | Comments [0] | Trackbacks [0] 25 Nov 2008 11:15:01 am Segmenting your website content A Couple of Tips for SEO Checkout http://www.mklink.com/freetrial/ for more internet marketing tips Separate your content Having spoken to a few people recently specifically about SEO, I noticed that quite a few of them were making the same mistake - so I thought I'd share the right way of doing it with you. If your read my last email about segregating your emails, you know it's important to target your emails to whichever demograph your aiming for. "One size fits all" doesn't usually do as well as targetted emails. And it's easy to do it with a decent autoresponder and a little thought. But loads of people chuck up all their website content up in the same way - i.e. non segregated. If you run a sports shop, you shouldn't have all your stuff on one page or in ill-defined categories. You should sort your website into clearly defined sections - each with a logical hierarchy. Each section should have text anchor links to sub sections within it. So, let's say you run a sporting goods website. You'd have your main navigation typically down the left hand side with all the types of sporting equipment that you sell. Let's look at the fishing equipment section. This can be divided into sea fishing, coarse fishing and game fishing. The coarse fishing section can have a carp fishing section. The carp fishing section can include carp rods, carp bait, carp hooks etc. Now, you might be thinking this is onerous. Perhaps it is but look at it this way. Let's say that someone is looking for a carp rod to buy their son. And there's two websites of similar age, content and Google Ranking. One one site, the owner 'A' has simply creating a section called "Fishing Rods" and within this section he has boat fishing rods, sea rods, pike rods, roach poles - you name it. The RELEVANCE for the key phrase carp rods is DILUTED. Now, let's look at person 'B'. His carp rods are in the 'Carp Rods' section above as described, within the carp fishing section, within the coarse section. All the section contains is information about carp rods. Beautiful! As far as Goggle is concerned, it has a higher relevancy and so will (hopefully!) get better rankings. Not only that, someone interested in carp rods doesn't necessarily want to see a confusing page all about other types of fishing rods - so the conversion rate for website owner 'B' will be better as well. Another thing to remember is that it's important to make the effort to optimise each page, section and each subsequent sub section individually, in terms of what that section is about. That of course means page names, titles, meta tags - the whole lot. It's so lazy and a wasted opportunity to simply have the exact same meta-tags etc on each page within a section. Some people have the same page titles and tags all throughout the site - criminal! So remember - Divide(properly) and rule!

MKLINK Internet Marketing Tips Category : General | By : mklink | Comments [0] | Trackbacks [0] 11 Nov 2008 08:48:57 am Segmenting Your Email Marketing A Few Quick Tips about Improving Email Response Rates Checkout http://www.mklink.com/freetrial/ for more internet marketing tips Email Segmentation You'll already know by know how much value I put on regular email contact with all my members and potential members. I think it's really important to help people on a regular basis by providing great tips and advice, in the hope people will join my private members' club or even one of my web consultancy courses. But sending out emails is just the half of it. To be most effective and get the highest response rate, you need to personalise your emails as much as possible and that involves segmentation. This can be as involved as you like and I'm certainly learning and improving all the time but let me give you a few ideas as to where and how to personalise/segment your emails. Firstly, call people by their name, especially in the subject of the email. That's a no-brainer! Then you need to split up who's already bought from you against those that are still "prospects" as it can be off-putting to existing customers to be treated as if they've never bought from you. And yes, I'm guilty of this as well and if you're an existing client - sorry ;-) If you can, take this a degree further by splitting up your emails by department. So, if you run a sports shop and someone has bought weight lifting equipment from you, they'll likely be looking for different bargains and advice than someone who's bought a dartboard! By the way, it is insane to ignore people that have already bought from you. You should always send a few, sequenced emails reassuring them of their decision and offer thanks and product-specific support. Naturally, someone that has bought a car from you will want to be treated differently to someone that has bought some packaging materials and also the frequency of the emails should be considered as well. People are likely to buy more packaging materials on a regular basis for example. In either case, your emails should always be informative, not just a sales message! Now, I appreciate that what I'm about to say will largely depend on how good your CRM(customer relationship management) is, but if you want to be really cute, you should further divide your emails into : How they came to signup.(Did they use the search engines to find you and download information about weightlifting equipment from you, or did they join our newsletter after a friend recommended them on their mailing list which caters for discount sporting goods?) Location. A car buyer in Huddersfield will be a lot more interested in an offer about a new showroom opening locally than in say, Luton. And Lastly - demographics. Yep, that means age, gender, marital status, race - you name it. Basically, what I'm saying is that if you have a decent list(and if you don't - start making one!) then just like I keep preaching about having multiple streams of niche traffic with regards to search traffic, you should have multiple streams of niche email open rates. Conversely, try and make your email signup forms specific, rather than 'general' as well, for better signup conversion. Using the example from earlier, A weightlifter would far prefer to join a mailing list offering "101 Weightlifting Tips" than "101 Sporting Tips". Why not get loads more Internet Marketing Tips?

Checkout http://www.mklink.com/training/ for more internet marketing tips Don't put people off! I was running a seminar recently and the subject came up about Skype, the company that Ebay bought for loads of money not so long back. And then it hit me that not everyone realised the reason they did it or indeed the power of the whole concept. As you know, Ebay gets paid every time a seller either lists an item and then it gets paid even more when a sale is made. So it's really in their interest that sales are made! They knew that if people can communicate with one another, then this would help sales to be made and consequently increase their profits. So they bought Skype - the company that facilitates free calls over the internet. This means that buyers and sellers could now communicate all over the world, in real time and with video as well if they like, enabling them to sell and buy more. Brilliant move! Skype also means that people can contact your business, free of charge, if you let them. But get this : Even if you don't sell all over the world, lots more people can and would contact you if you have Skype, not only because it's free but because it can be convenient and anonymous as well. Not everyone wants people calling them! But, surprisingly, even if you completely ignore Skype and have a freephone number on your website, you'll still be putting alot of people off. Specifically, people that are abroad or people that use mobile phones. And that includes using local rate numbers as well. Think about how many people use mobile phones these days and most of the time, they have to pay to call a freephone number or local rate - don't ask me why but it's maddening! So, here's an idea. Put your freephone number on your website - next to your normal number - next to your Skype ID as well. Zero overhead and more enquiries and sales. Great move! And please, if you have an 0870 type number, just get rid of it. If you don't believe me, there's a site called "saynoto0870.com" which loads of people use, proving that these types of phone numbers are universally hated. Of course, there's other ways people can hear you(if not speak to you) as well. For example, you can listen to me at http://mklink.com/demo.mp3 if you have speakers...! 'till next time, Mike Knight.

Drug Legalization, Libertarian Scholar to Give Rogge Lectureby Howard W. Hewitt • March 23, 2005 Share:
A leading expert on drug legalization and Libertarian principles will speak at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in Salter Hall. Jeff Miron, professor of Economics at Boston University, will be this year's Rogge Memorial Lecture speaker.
Miron will give two presentations while on campus. He'll speak at noon in the Lovell Lecture Hall, Room 101, on Drug War Crimes.
He has written a book of the same title analyzing the true costs, benefits, and consequences of drug prohibition. His evidence suggests the more resources given to the drub war, the greater the homicide rate. He examines various alternatives to drug prohibition and identifies possible solutions.
Miron's formal evening presentation will be at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in Salter Hall. "Why Thoughtful Conservatives Should be Libertarians: The Pitfalls of Fixing Bad Government with More Government."
Dr. Miron will discuss his research on a new book on libertarian economics.
The Rogge Memorial Lecture was started shortly after the death of Benjamin A. Rogge in 1980. Ben Rogge was a champion of libertarian principles and free market economics. To honor him, the Rogge Committee arranges a lecture each year.

Two members of the men's golf team have really teed the
program up for success with their outstanding play at the national level.
Kevin Phelan, a native of Waterford, Ireland, qualified
for the U.S. Open, played at Pebble Beach Golf Club, and earned a semifinal
finish at the U.S. Amateur Public Links Golf Championship hosted by the USGA.
Phelan represented his home country on the Ireland team at the World Team
Championship in October.
Sean Dale, from Jacksonville, Fla., earned the
93rd-annual Florida State Amateur championship in July and joined teammates
Phelan and Kevin Aylwin, a UNF junior from New Smyrna Beach, as qualifiers for
the U.S. Amateur Golf Championship in August.
"Obviously, we had two guys play at a really high level
for us," said UNF sixth-year golf head coach Scott Schroeder, who earned the
2010 Atlantic Sun Coach of the Year award. "Both those guys were among the Top
100 players in the country and to be a successful program, you have to have
some elite players on your team to compete against the bigger schools. In the
past, we may have occasionally had one player of that caliber, but when you
have two playing like we had last season, it really allows you to be competitive
with any team in the country."
During the 2009-10 season, the UNF golf team recorded Top
10 finishes in all 13 tournaments played, including 11 Top Five showings and
eight finishes in the Top Three. The Ospreys, ranked in the Top 25 nationally
all season, captured a pair of tournament titles and qualified for the NCAA
Championships where they finished 14th out of 30 teams.
Since becoming one of the first varsity athletics
programs sponsored by the University of North Florida, the men's golf program
has produced a long list of successful accomplishments in its quarter century
of existence.
From winning NAIA National Championships in 1991 and 1993
to capturing the first Atlantic Sun Conference title for UNF in 2008, the golf
program has been one of the leaders in gaining recognition and attention for
North Florida Athletics. Men's golf was the first program at UNF to gain NCAA
Division I status, earning the distinction in 1997-98, prior to the full
department transition completed in 2008-09.
However, the successes enjoyed by the Osprey golf team in
the past year can only be described as historic.
Dale and Phelan headlined the UNF golf journey last
season with both players collecting numerous prestigious honors. Dale, a
sophomore, was named the Atlantic Sun Golfer of the Year and first-team
All-Conference member along with earning second-team Ping All-American
accolades, while Phelan, claimed the A-Sun Conference Freshman of the Year
honor and a spot on the first-team All-Conference squad.
As a team, UNF golfers produced 68 rounds under par for
the year with Phelan (18) and Dale (15) combining for nearly half of the
squad's top performances. Dale led the team with an average score of 70.94,
followed by Phelan at 72.35.
Phelan ended the season with eight Top 10 individual
finishes, including the runner-up title at the NCAA South Central Regional.
Dale had six Top 10 showings and claimed the individual medalist title at the
Wolf Run Intercollegiate in Zionsville, Indiana.
The Ospreys earned the tournament titles at the John Hayt
Invitational, an event hosted annually by UNF at Sawgrass Country Club and
featuring a field full of nationally-ranked golf programs, and the BancorpSouth
Intercollegiate, hosted by Ole Miss. In addition, North Florida boasted four
runner-up tournament finishes for the season.
The Ospreys rebounded from a disappointing third-place
finish at the Atlantic Sun Conference Championship in April, finishing fourth
at the NCAA South Central Regional and advancing to the NCAA Championship
tournament. The regional appearance marked just the fifth for UNF in its
Division I history, while the trip to the NCAA Championship was just the second
time for the program at the Division I level.
"Winning our home event, the John Hayt Invitational, was
a big accomplishment for us because we hadn't done that in a while," said
Schroeder, a former golfer at UNF from 1995 to 2000. "Earning a victory at the
Ole Miss tournament, including defeating a Top 10 program like Florida at a
neutral site, was also a real big moment. Finally, tying for 14th at the NCAA
Championships was just a tremendous finish and accomplishment for our season.
We were able to play against and finish ahead of many perennial collegiate golf
powers at the NCAA Championship and that was a pretty cool feeling."
"The only thing we let slip away was winning the Atlantic
Sun Conference championship," Schroeder added. "But because we had played so
solidly throughout the entire season we earned an at-large invitation to the
NCAA Regionals and were able to then earn our spot in the championship round
with our play on the course."
The success and attention did not subside once the
collegiate golf season ended as UNF golfers continued to create a media buzz
throughout the summer.
UNF linkster Major Forbess, a UNF junior from
Jacksonville, also gained attention after capturing the Jacksonville Area Golf
Association (JAGA) Amateur Championship in July at the Jacksonville Golf and
Country Club.
Heading into the 2010-11 golf season, UNF returns all the
key performers from the historic 2009-10 campaign. The squad is focused and
determined to build on the accomplishments of last season but to also strive
for even bigger and better things this year.
"We would definitely like to be able to earn a conference
title this season," Schroeder stated. "We haven't won it the past two seasons
and that is definitely something we have on our list of goals this year. Every
year we want to field the best, most competitive team possible. The sport of
golf can be finicky, with such an ebb-and-flow related to player confidence and
skill level. We were a relatively young squad last year, so hopefully we can
build on those successes and even reach new heights."
The Ospreys seemed to be on the right track to start this
season earning a pair of Top Five finishes in the Fall. Phelan owns two
fifth-place showings, while Aylwin lists Top 25 finishes in each of the team's
four tournaments, including a personal best performance in the fall season
finale in late October. UNF has already swept the Atlantic Sun Golfer of the
Month honors, with Phelan getting the nod in September and Aylwin capturing the
award in October.
North Florida is out of competition from November to late
January and returns to action in its spring season opener, the JU Invitational,
Jan. 31, in Ponte Vedra Beach.
