Back-to-back wins reignite promotion push
Published: 9:54 AM March 1, 2013 Updated: 10:39 PM October 27, 2020
Weston AFC v Welling. - Credit: Archant
WESTON beat table-toppers Welling United 2-0, as the club reignited its promotion bid in fine style.
The Seagulls followed Saturday's home win with a 2-1 victory at Truro City on Tuesday night.
The six points move Weston up to sixth spot, just a point outside the play-offs, with a dozen games to go.
Boss Craig Laird said it was fantastic to be discussing promotion rather than relegation at this late stage and called for more fans to come down and watch.
He said: "The teams above us have more to lose than us. We aren't expected to win the league like them, and they have bigger budgets. We need to keep our heads down and keep plugging away."
Weston started the brighter against Welling with former Southampton striker Kayne McLaggon almost scoring inside seven minutes, but he narrowly steered winger Ross Stearn's cross wide.
Stearn should have opened the scoring himself half an hour later but fired wide from the penalty spot after being tripped by Welling's Joe Healy.
Weston were not to be denied a first-half lead though, as Jamie Laird stabbed home a loose ball during a goalmouth scramble, a minute before the interval.
They continued to press after the break with Dayle Grubb's shot cleared off the line, although the Seagulls were grateful to Lloyd Irish for several saves to preserve the slender advantage.
Goalscorer Laird received a second yellow card with 10 minutes to go but Weston doubled their advantage in added time following a swift counter attack.
Substitute Chas Hemmings fed Grubb, whose pace took him beyond the defenders, and he slotted home to seal victory.
Blue Square South's bottom club Truro proved equally tough opponents on Tuesday night, despite sitting more than 20 points adrift of safety.
Nabi Diallo came into the starting line-up and he touched home Ashley Kington's free-kick to hand Weston a fourth minute lead. Both sides wasted chances before Weston doubled their advantage eight minutes into the second half.
Truro's goalkeeper Luke Payne could only stand and admire as Kane Ingram scored a superb 25-yard strike on the turn.
The home side were rewarded with a late consolation from former Fulham and Bristol Rovers veteran Barry Hayles, but Weston held on to seal their second victory in three days.
Laird said: "Both games were really tough. We felt the Truro game was going to be as tough as the Welling game as they had nothing to lose and was a potential banana skin.
"For 85 minutes we controlled the game, were very professional, and perhaps could have had a third."
Weston travel to Salisbury City on Saturday, who went top following Welling's defeat at the weekend. Salisbury are unbeaten at home this season.
The Seagulls then welcome fourth-place Chelmsford City on Tuesday evening at 7.45pm.
But the club will be without Nat Pepperell who has decided to leave the club for personal reasons, after scoring 20 goals in 85 games for the Seagulls.
Laird said he was a 'wonderful servant' for the club and expressed his hope that he will rejoin the club next season once off-the-field issues have been resolved.

Mubarak under house arrest; Egypt decides to lift emergency laws and eases conditions for forming parties
Home » Mubarak under house arrest; Egypt decides to lift emergency laws and eases conditions for forming parties
Egypt's Supreme Council of the Armed Forces has said on its website that the ousted President Hosni Mubarak and his family are under house arrest. The Supreme Council stated, "There is no truth to reports that former President Hosni Mubarak has left Egypt for Tabuk in Saudi Arabia. He is under house arrest, with his family, in Egypt." The Supreme Council announced on March 28 that the hated emergency laws will be lifted before parliamentary elections set for September this year. The council also issued a decree easing conditions for forming new political parties. Under the new decree, new parties must have 5,000 members in 10 provinces with 300 members in each of them in order to gain recognition. Egypt has 29 provinces. The Supreme Council, however, banned the formation of political parties on religious grounds and those discriminating against citizens based on their race or faith.1

The planning of events related to the sesquicentennial began in 2007 with the establishment of the Arkansas Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission by the Arkansas General Assembly as part of Act 635. The Civil War in Arkansas was commemorated during several anniversary events during the twentieth century. The United Confederate Veterans held a reunion in Little Rock (Pulaski County) in 1911, the fiftieth anniversary of the outbreak of the war. In 1959, the Arkansas General Assembly created the Civil War Centennial Commission of Arkansas, which operated until at least 1965. While other events commemorating the Civil War were held in the state over the next several decades, the Arkansas …

After eleven years as attorney general, Clark announced in January 1990 that he would run for the Democratic nomination for governor. A few days later, the Arkansas Gazette reported that his office had spent a suspicious $115,729 total on travel and meals, more than any of the other six constitutional officers, and that his vouchers listed many dinner guests who said they had not been his guests. In February, Clark withdrew from the governor's race (Governor Bill Clinton would be re-elected). He was convicted of fraud by deception and resigned as attorney general. Steve Clark was born on March 21, 1947, in Leachville (Mississippi County) to John W. …

Clergy Sexual Abuse
Since 2002, when the public became widely aware of sexual abuse of minors by clergy members, an international movement has developed to address such abuse. In January 2002, the Boston Globe's "Spotlight" team published a ground-breaking series about abuse in the Catholic archdiocese of Boston, Massachusetts, and its extensive cover-up for years. This exposé brought international attention to the problem and led to criminal investigation of Catholic officials in Boston. When the files of the Boston archdiocese were opened due to legal actions following the "Spotlight" report, it was found that abuse by priests was documented in many dioceses other than Boston, leading more cases to come to light. Individual clergy of various denominations have been exposed as abusers in …

Clinton v. Jones
The U.S. Supreme Court case Clinton v. Jones, 520 U.S. 681 (1997) had the immediate impact of allowing a civil suit filed against President Bill Clinton to proceed while he was in office. In fact, although the case arose from an alleged incident that occurred before Clinton assumed the presidency, his status as president was central to the arguments the Supreme Court had to address. Ultimately, the decision's more far-reaching impact directly affected the presidency on multiple levels. First, the Court's ruling both reinforced and extended the idea that the president is not above the law, a concept that had been at the heart of the legal issues surrounding the Watergate affair. In addition, statements made by Clinton in the …

He persuaded lawmakers to enact numerous educational reforms, levy substantial taxes to improve education, and enact an array of …

Machu Picchu visit puts MPs' travel expenses in spotlight
Ian Willoughby
The subject of MPs' travel expenses is in the spotlight after Czech Radio reported that a group of legislators visited an exotic tourist destination while on a taxpayer-funded trip to Peru. The politicians say they themselves purchased tickets to enter Machu Picchu. However, their hotels and flights were covered by the Chamber of Deputies.
Download: MP3
Miloslav Kala at Machu Picchu, photo: Janek Kroupa / Czech Radio In a video recorded at Machu Picchu in Peru and published on Wednesday, Czech Radio reporter Janek Kroupa tries, with little success, to interview Miloslav Kala, the president of the Supreme Audit Office.
The top official was visiting the ruins of the ancient Inca city with five MPs from the Chamber of Deputies' Audit Committee, which makes sure the state's money is spent correctly.
The group were based in the nearby tourist town of Cuzco for three days out of a work trip that involved the same number of days in the capital Lima.
Mr. Kala said the group had themselves purchased tickets to the site. However, the Chamber of Deputies – and by extension taxpayers – covered their hotels, flights, interpreters and per diems.
Committee member Roman Kubíček of ANO offered Czech Radio's journalist this explanation as to why they had visited Cuzco.
"We received information about the resolution of regional problems with waste… We established regional co-operation and came here within the framework of the offers we received. You can verify with the Czech ambassador that the offers concerned energy, water and the environmentally friendly destruction of waste."
The politicians' trip to Peru – which cost an estimated CZK 750,000 – has put the issue of such travel in the spotlight and raised questions over whether elected officials are wasting public money.
TOP 09 politician Miroslav Kalousek said that he believed 80 percent of such travel actually involved excursions.
Tomáš Pojar, photo: Jana Přinosilová / Czech Radio Analyst Tomáš Pojar said there was no way whatever that a visit by the Audit Committee to Peru, or indeed anywhere outside Europe, could make sense.
Mr. Pojar also referred his own experience when he served as Czech ambassador to Israel.
"If members of a committee visit Israel's Knesset, it's absolutely logical that they would also visit the Old City of Jerusalem or Bethlehem, which is 10 kilometres away… It's something else if it's a question of three days, plane travel and staying in hotels, when the costs for the taxpayer are high. In that case, it should be voluntary and everybody should pay for the holiday part themselves."
Novinky.cz reported that Czech MPs will this year travel to such destinations as Mexico, China, Vietnam, Morocco and Jordan. The Chamber of Deputies has an annual travel budget of CZK 30 million, while the Senate has CZK 13 million for that purpose.

Gandhinagar: Shoes were on Thursday hurled at Gujarat Home minister Pradipsinh Jadeja outside the state Assembly building when he was about to address the media.
Shouting "down with corruption", a man identified as Gopal Italia launched the projectiles at a surprised Jadeja but missed his target. He was then overpowered and taken away by police personnel.
A police official said the man was "mentally unstable" and claimed to be a government employee.
The incident happened during the recess hour of the ongoing Budget session when Jadeja came to address the media near the public entry gate of the state Assembly premises.
Gandhinagar Range IG R B Brahmbhatt said Italia has been detained for questioning and preliminary investigation has revealed that he is "mentally unstable and frustrated".
"A man named Gopalbhai, aged around 30 years, walked up to Minister of State for Home Pradipsinh Jadeja when he was preparing to address the press, and hurled shoes at him. He works as a clerk at Dhandhuka (Ahmedabad district) SDM office," Brahmbhatt said. "We have taken him for questioning, and preliminary investigation reveals that he is mentally unstable and frustrated for reasons that are not clear yet. We will take action against him after questioning," he added.
While being taken away by police, Italia told media that the attack was on the "dictatorship and arrogance" of the state government.
"Government is bent on dictatorship. I am a government employee, and I am angry at the government's way of dealing with issues like unemployment, corruption, and prohibition.
The ruling BJP was quick to point fingers at opposition Congress for the incident.
Congress condemned the attack, and said that public should rather use elections to express their anger and frustration rather than hurling shoes or ink at leaders.

Cracked windshield? Don't put off repairing it. A little chip or crack on your windshield can grow into a big crack— right before your eyes.
Why the rush when it comes to windshield crack repair? First, in many states, it's illegal to drive with a damaged windshield as it can impede your vision and is considered unsafe.1 Second, the damage may only get worse over time and if it does, you may be facing an expensive windshield replacement rather than a far less costly repair. If that becomes the case, however, talk to the credit professionals at Synchrony Car Care. They offer special financing* on purchases with the Car Care ONE credit card including for windshield replacement and at dealer enrolled locations.
A windshield crack repair can prevent further damage to your glass and restore the structural stability of the vehicle if the repair is done immediately. If rain and dirt have a chance to get inside the chip or crack, that can cause the damaged area to enlarge.
Clean the area around the chip or crack with alcohol or solvent, making sure that the crack is free of any loose shards of glass and debris.
Special tools are required to force liquid resin material into the chip. The resin seals the chip and is designed to dry clear and blend with the windshield glass.

When riding many elevators in your life, you may have noticed that not all elevators use protective pads. Buildings that do not protect the elevator wall will eventually pay more to repair the interior cabin. Nowadays, funding is difficult to achieve, and it will be helpful for companies to make more informed decisions about protecting assets. The following fuji Elevator Supplier will tell you why the elevator needs an elevator mat?
Wall mats are required for commercial and residential elevators. These lifts transport cargo and passengers throughout the day. The cab wall is likely to be scratched or damaged. A protective wall mat should be installed to prevent this from happening. Typically, buildings will have separate lifts for passengers and cargo. This is to ensure that passengers are protected from the goods that need to be transported. It is important to note that the elevator wall mats will be used for freight elevators and passenger elevators.
Freight elevators are more susceptible to damage due to the different goods being transported. Due to the high weight and frequency of cargo transportation, the inner cab wall should be protected by a thick mat. This gasket will absorb the impact between the elevator wall and the cargo. In the case of a passenger lift, the installation of a protective wall mat will reduce the chance of scratching the interior wall. The cost of repairing the elevator wall is high, which is why investing in protective products such as wall mats is a more cost-effective option.
Elevator pads are important for several reasons. First, elevator pads are required in buildings where passengers and goods share the same elevator. A single elevator will be used to transport equipment, supplies and furniture up and down the building. Therefore, the risk of damaging the elevator wall is high. Second, the design of the elevator is visually appealing to passengers. This allows passengers to enjoy a comfortable ride. However, if the wall is scratched, it will immediately leave a bad impression on the passenger and may eventually damage the building's reputation. Finally, the elevator mat provides all-weather protection against accidental or unintentional dents and scratches.
There are cushions inside the elevator mat to absorb the impact force. In addition, the elevator mat is very easy to install. These lifting pads do not stick to the elevator wall. They are connected using clips. This makes it easier to install and remove the elevator mat during cleaning. The elevator protection mat also meets standard fire safety regulations by holding 4 inches between the bottom of the mat and the floor of the elevator car. The building also benefits because they can switch elevator pad designs to keep the elevator visually appealing.
In most cases, the importance of the elevator mat needs to be recognized by all owners. When the stainless steel elevator wall becomes recessed, it is difficult to restore it to its original state and may become the eyes of many people. Building owners only need to repair a lot of money. If he chooses to ignore this, residents and tenants will sit on an elevator full of scratches and dents. Elevators are not cheap, and building owners should take immediate protective measures.

Q: Why am I getting an "Invalid command 'ProxyPass'" error when I start my Apache 2.2 server? I'm having trouble getting Proxying working in Apache 2.2
When I try to start it, I get an Invalid command 'ProxyPass' error. that would be indicative of proxy_http_module not being loaded. However when I look at the debug, it seems to be there. e.g.,
E:\Apache\bin>httpd -e debug
[Fri Aug 21 15:48:55 2015] [debug] mod_so.c(246): loaded module actions_module
...
[Fri Aug 21 15:48:55 2015] [debug] mod_so.c(246): loaded module proxy_ajp_module

Syntax error on line 84 of E:/Apache/conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf:
Invalid command 'ProxyPass', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included
in the server configuration

So it looks to me that proxy_http_module is loading. I don't understand why it doesn't know what ProxyPass is.
I've certainly turned it on in my httpd.conf file
#LoadModule mime_magic_module modules/mod_mime_magic.so
LoadModule negotiation_module modules/mod_negotiation.so
#LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_ajp_module modules/mod_proxy_ajp.so
#LoadModule proxy_balancer_module modules/mod_proxy_balancer.so
#LoadModule proxy_connect_module modules/mod_proxy_connect.so
#LoadModule proxy_ftp_module modules/mod_proxy_ftp.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so     # <--------------
#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Note: I am trying to do this through an SSL connection so I'm loading httpd-ssl.conf as well later on in my httpd.conf file
<IfModule ssl_module>
Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf
SSLRandomSeed startup builtin
SSLRandomSeed connect builtin
</IfModule>

Then in httpd-ssl.conf I've set up a VirtualHost entry
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
    DocumentRoot "E:/Apache/htdocs"
### dummy IP
    ServerName 127.12.34.56:443
    ServerAdmin me@example.com
    ErrorLog "E:/Apache/logs/error.log"
    TransferLog "E:/Apache/logs/access.log"

    #ProxyRequests Off
### It chokes on the following entry
    ProxyPass / http://myfirewalledserver:80/
    #ProxyPassReverse / http://myfirewalledserver:80/
</VirtualHost>

What have I missed here?

A: proxy_http module requires proxy, and ProxyPass directive is defined in the latter.
Make sure it's also loaded.
Thanks to  Milind Singh
Load the module by running
Run sudo a2enmod proxy_http

Allianz reportedly on prowl – RSA, Aviva in frame
Allianz is looking for a big takeover target, reports the Sunday Times
Allianz is looking for major takeover targets, and RSA and Aviva are on its radar, according to the Sunday Times.
Quoting no sources, the newspaper said Allianz chief executive Oliver Baete has been consulting with investment bankers for several months on possible deals. Zurich and QBE are also said to be under scrutiny.
It said he was frustrated that XL Group slipped through his fingers and was snapped up by AXA in March for £12bn.
The former McKinsey consultant is keen to spend some of his growing cash pile, and is said to have been frustrated at missing out on Bermudan reinsurer XL Group, sold to Axa in March for $15.3bn (£12bn).
"Baete badly wants to make an acquisition," the newspaper quoted an unnamed chief executive of a global insurer. "That said, I don't believe they would do anything hostile."

One of the curious things about doing a semi-ridiculous reporting project—say, leaving behind your life to go work undercover as a farm worker, Walmart produce clerk, and Applebee's kitchen wretch—is that near-strangers confront you with grand, existential queries. Like: What's the most important thing you learned?
I've always suspected that broke people care about food and health just about as much as everyone else. (Mostly, if I'm being honest, that's because I'm a working-class Flint transplant to New York, well-accustomed to having people sneer at the meals I grew up eating.) Part of the reason I wrote The American Way of Eating, in fact, was to test whether it was true or not—sort of a semi-deranged but good-hearted social science experiment.
Curiously enough, most of the people I met were thinking about their meals as best they could. I lunched alongside farmworkers picking garlic in California fields, single moms stocking produce at Walmart outside of Detroit, and Dominican cooks readying themselves to work the line at an Applebee's in New York City. I met a Kmart cashier so desperate to afford produce that she drove 25 miles round trip just to get a $20 coupon for farmers' market produce, and a brownstone pastor who plowed under his Brooklyn back yard to grow vegetables for his food pantry. Most of the time, if people didn't manage to eat well it was a mix of time, knowledge, price and convenience—as much as physical access to grocery stores—that did them in. I'm not saying access doesn't matter, just that it's not a complete and total explanation for poor diet.
If you want Americans to eat well, just make it easy—as easy as drinking clean water.
We don't like to admit this, as Americans, but we're often a lazy bunch. ESPECIALLY when it comes to our meals. For as long as I've been alive, anyone trying to change the way we eat has told us to just make it harder: We tell people to pay more money (for quality; for farmers' sake), to spend more time (drive farther to a different store, spend more time there)—and ignore the landscape that gave rise to their current habits.
And, after reporting The American Way of Eating, there's just the one question I can't seem to escape: Why?
Tracie McMillan is the uncommon person who combines long-term, in-depth reporting, elegant writing, and compelling story in The American Way of Eating: Undercover at Walmart, Applebee's, Farm Fields and the Dinner Table. (See this superb NYTimes review.) At my request, Tracie wrote this guest post. She has explored our food system from the bottom rungs, as a worker from California to Michigan to New York, so I asked her what's the most important thing she's taken away from her reporting and writing this book. —M.R.

Tarmac paves way for new residential development at Ratho
The public is to be given the opportunity to view proposals by Tarmac for a residential-led mixed-use development on land including the former Cement Works to the west of Baird Road, Ratho.
The Bairdview development, if approved, will deliver an ambitious residential neighbourhood and sustainable extension to the village.
The fully integrated neighbourhood will provide a new and attractive entrance to Ratho and afford the potential to provide enhanced community and commercial facilities.
Proposals for the 56-acre site will deliver circa 300 homes, including family, market, and affordable housing, with a range of tenures, house types and densities built to the highest environmental standards. This will serve to address housing pressures in the village and West Edinburgh over the next 10 years.
A 60-bed care home and retirement housing for the village are also outlined in the proposals.
Tarmac intends to bring forward a Planning Permission in Principle (PPP) application, establishing the principle of development on the partially brownfield site for the mixed-use development. It believes that the environmental impact can be mitigated and that the wider social and economic benefits would be significant.
Delivering a high-quality, low carbon sustainable development at Bairdview will re-balance the village to the north of the Union Canal with local amenities, a green network of parks and woodland and a central hub of enhanced community facilities. The proposals have specifically been aligned with the new City Plan 2030.
Supporting the delivery of business, retail, and leisure development in the village, the development would also provide scope for the expansion of Ratho Primary School and public realm, landscape and active travel improvements at the northern gateway to the village.
Proposals will also improve transport infrastructure and connections with the A8 and A71, including more effective public transport bus services. It will also aim to deliver improved footpath linkages, including safe routes to the primary school.
The development has also been designed as '20-minute neighbourhoods'. These are places that are designed so residents can meet their day-to-day needs within a 20-minute walk of their home; through access to safe walking and cycling routes, or by public transport. Development at Bairdview will assist in reducing the need for car journeys and reducing the carbon footprint in line with the City's zero-carbon strategy response to the climate crisis.
Development proposed is within acceptable walking distance of local facilities, walking distance to any employment cluster and bus and cycle routes. Provision is made for public transport and the National Cycle Route also lies near the site.
Consultations have been ongoing with Ratho Community Council and local stakeholder groups for this unique investment proposition. Tarmac wish to bring forward a wider Place Plan for Ratho and has indicated that the community could receive a share of any land capture uplift from the development in the form of a unilateral obligation.

Home/U.S./Katie Porter announces candidacy for US Senate
Katie Porter announces candidacy for US Senate
WASHINGTON — Congresswoman Katie Porter, a third-term Democrat from California who studied under Elizabeth Warren at Harvard University and became a darling of liberal Democrats on social media, said Tuesday she will run in 2024 for the Senate seat held by by Dianne Feinstein.
Ms. Porter, 49, is the first announced challenger to Ms. Feinstein, 89, who has not announced her intentions in 2024 but is expected not to seek re-election amid Democratic concerns about her age and ability to serve. Last year, Ms. Feinstein declined to serve as Senate president and earlier resigned from his post as the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee is under enormous pressure after the Supreme Court confirmation hearing for Judge Amy Coney Barrett.
"It's time for new leadership in the U.S. Senate," Ms. Porter said video that reports her campaign.
Ms. Feinstein, in a statement released by her office, said she "will make an announcement regarding my plans for 2024 at the appropriate time." She said she is focused on dealing with the deadly storms hitting California.
Ms Porter's early campaign announcement – which echoes Ms Warren's entry into the 2020 presidential race, when she was the first great democrat to go into bidding – kicking off a race that is sure to be among the most expensive intra-party contests in the country. A vaunted fundraiser, Ms. Porter became widely known for her combative attitude toward financial sector witnesses and Trump administration officials who appeared before her on the House Oversight Committee.
The Iowa-born Ms. Porter was a top surrogate for Ms. Warren's 2020 campaign and often hosted small events promoting her mentor. She worked as a law professor at the University of California, Irvine, and in 2012 was appointed by Kamala Harris, then California's attorney general, to oversee the $9 billion settlement after the subprime crisis. She was elected to Congress in 2018.
Other California Democrats believed to be considering runs for Ms. Feinstein's Senate seat include Representative Adam Schiff, who has already hired staff in preparation for a statewide campaign, and Representative Barbara Lee, who has told donors about the plans to apply. Neither has officially announced a campaign.
"It's going to be a very exciting race with some incredible people — several have already spoken to me," said former senator Barbara Boxer, Democrat of California, who served four terms alongside Ms. Feinstein before retiring in 2016. The fact that Katie Porter has announced, I think that will open the door for very early announcements."
California, the nation's most populous state with nearly 40 million residents, has not hosted a highly competitive race for an open Senate seat since 1992, when Ms. Feinstein and Ms. Boxer were first elected.
Ms. Feinstein, in her sixth term, was haunted by questions regarding her fitness to serve. Her short-term memory problems have become an open secret on Capitol Hill, though few Democrats are willing to discuss the topic publicly.

This month's channel news quiz covers developments in channel partner strategies and programs, cloud computing, technologies affecting the channel and service provider business strategy.
This channel quiz covers a lot of ground, from recent merger and acquisition news to emerging technologies such as hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) to familiar standbys such as backup and disaster recovery. Here's what you can expect to find in this month's installment.
Partner programs. There's plenty of news involving IT channel partner programs, including developments at Facebook and Dell Technologies. The former just kicked off a partner program that includes service providers, while the latter recently outlined plans for a program set to debut early next year. Software and data protection companies also had program updates and channel partner strategies to discuss.
Cloud computing. Consolidation isn't just for the top hardware players, such as Dell and EMC. Cloud consultancies are also undergoing a market shakeout as companies seek greater scale. Meanwhile, cloud computing continues its push into specialized vertical market applications, opening new opportunities for channel partners.
Channel technology. HCI product offerings and use cases continue to expand, presenting new options for channel companies focusing on this technology field. Partners specializing in security, meanwhile, may want to focus on the rise of ransomware. And service providers of all kinds can benefit from increased productivity -- their selection of automated tools may hold the key.
Business strategy. Managed service providers (MSPs) may think they can do it all remotely, but some industry executives beg to differ. Periodic in-person meetings remain important.
What features would you like to see more of in vendors' IT channel partner programs?

Cheating on a significant other or spouse, as far as the United States goes, is the most evil thing a person can do. While most other moral issues fall into many shades of gray, infidelity is still very much black and white for so much of the world.
On the other hand, cheating is becoming more commonplace for men and women (very much so depending on how wide you want to draw the window of what you consider cheating).

#thegood : Lego's first sustainable brick pieces will go on sale later this year
By ps3ad
Building blocks of a better future.
Lego has announced that its first brick pieces made from plant-based plastic sourced from sugar cane will go on sale later this year. Production has started on the sustainable pieces, which include "botanical elements" like leaves, bushes, and trees. The new pieces are made from polyethylene, a soft and durable plastic, and Lego notes that they are "technically identical to those produced using conventional plastic." The polyethylene bricks make up about 1 to 2 percent of Lego's total plastic elements. Lego's current bricks are made from oil-based plastics.

M. MITTERAND: "I have just met M. Poher as he wished to see me before leaving the Elysee Palace, but the subject of our conversations has not been made public.
REPORTER: "M. Poher has suggested that you might be consulted from time to time by M. Valery Giscard d'Estaing".
M. MITTERAND: "That is for M. Giscard d'Estaing to decide, and for me. It is a fact that M. Poher is worried about the relations between the opposition and the majority, the opposition and the government. Our conversation was only an exchange of views. He becomes again the President of the Senate and I become again First Secretary of the Socialist party and Member of Parliament. The "statute of the opposition" is an ambitious expression. In a democracy, it is living with normal rights concerned with every fraction of public opinion."

A translation of M. Mitterand's remarks in French follows.
Background: The interim President of France, M. Alain Poher, met the Socialist leader M. Francois Mitterand on Friday (24 May) in what was seen as a move towards establishing an official leader of the Opposition ini the National Assembly. M.

The new President is expected to announce his new Prime Minister and Government on Tuesday (26 May), the day after he is officially installed as President. He is reported to be anxious to establish a system of government which will give some say at Government level to his political opponents. In a victory speech on Sunday (19 May), M.

M. Mitterand said that if there were to be consultations, it was for himself and M. d'Estaing to decide. But he confirmed that M. Poher was worried about the relations between the Opposition and the majority, and the Opposition and the government.
M. Mitterand emphasised that his conversation with M. Poher had been only an exchange of views. He described a 'statute of the Opposition' as an ambitious expression. A democracy, the went on, is living with normal rights concerned with every fraction of public opinion.
M. Giscard d'Estaing is expected to announce his government on Tuesday, following his installation as President on Monday. His narrow margin of two per cent in the Presidential election over M.

The Death of Blockbuster and Physical Media
Blockbuster will soon be dead. If it isn't already.
By early January, Dish Network, parent company to the sad remnants of the once-ubiquitous video rental chain that long-ago made it OK for adults to stay home on weekend nights, is closing its remaining 300 stores. Blockbuster shuttered its Toledo locations last year.
Dish Network, a Pay-TV satellite service, is also dropping Blockbuster's DVD-by-mail business.
The Blockbuster brand will be kept alive — barely — through a streaming service available to Dish customers for an extra fee and an on-demand streaming service for the general public.
Experts will say the death of Blockbuster as we knew it is proof the end of physical media is nigh.
DVDs and Blu-rays and CDs are yesterday's technology. Online movies, games, and music are the present and future — until something better and shinier comes along.
Funny enough, technology gurus forecast a similar extinction for the vinyl LP after the arrival of the CD in the mid-1980s.
But by the mid-way point of this year, Vinyl LP sales were up 33.5 percent from last year, according to Nielsen SoundScan, while CD sales declined more than 14 percent. Yes, CDs still outsell vinyl records by many millions, but there's no denying the nearly decade-long resurgence of a left-for-dead format. What's driving these gains isn't nostalgia, but music enthusiasts who contend that vinyl provides a warm and fuller sound that digital music (CD and MP3s) can't match.
The take-away lesson should be that there's no such thing as a dead format for consumers. (Except for 8-track tapes. Nobody likes those.) But it's not true.
Sony's Minidisc. LaserDiscs. HD-DVD. These are dead formats that will never be resurrected. Ever.
Such is the way of consumer electronics, as newer, better, and cheaper devices, formats, technologies rise up and render obsolete anything that can't keep up. Fast and brutal, the march of technology is Darwin's theory of evolution on speed, only the strong — i.e., better — don't always survive.
The Betamax was superior to the VHS, but consumers didn't care. Some argued that the Digital Audio Tape offered a better sound than the CD, but how many home systems did you ever see with a DAT player?
For Sunday The Blade is running an Arts cover story of mine exploring the history and legacy of the Atari 2600 and Intellivision console war of the early 1980s. The 2600 was the older system and, when compared to the more-advanced and more-powerful Intellivision, offered rather primitive graphics and simplistic gameplay. Again, it didn't matter, as the 2600 ultimately sold millions and millions more units than its bigger and better rival.
Yet in a strange twist, these systems weren't killed off by newer home consoles, but by the video game industry crash of 1983-84. Think of it as the giant asteroid wiping out the dinosaurs all over again.
Market forces, much like the forces of nature, work in mysterious ways.
As for Blockbuster, its end wasn't so quick and decisive, but slow and painful to watch. The rental chain fell prey to the convenience of online technologies and consumer preference to not to drive to a store to check out and return movies. The sentiment is that disc-based movies, music, and games aren't far behind either.
That's supposed to be the way of technology. Those who've bought a vinyl record in the last five years, though, may suggest otherwise.
