$=$5-$10; $$=$10-$25; $$$=$25-$50; $$$$=$50+

Aladdin Sweets & Cafe 11945 Conant St., Hamtramck; 313-891-8050; Last year, this was just a small neighborhood place, lacking cloth doilies and polished steel cutlery, serving food on plastic plates and beverages in polystyrene cups. But what Aladdin lacked in china and stainless steel it more than makes up for in flavor and authenticity. And now, after an expansion last year that doubled the dining area and added an outdoor patio, it's bigger and better than ever.

The Blue Nile 221 E. Washington St., Ann Arbor, 734-998-4746; 545 W. Nine Mile Rd., Ferndale, 248-547-6699; $$: A big part of the draw of this kind of dining is that you get to eat with your hands. You get only two all-you-can-eat choices: four meats and seven vegetables for $17.90 (which, obviously, ain't veg), or all-veg for $15.90 (kids 12 and under eat for half price, and kids 5 and younger eat free). Diners use small pieces of bread to scoop up the food, and the juices soak in. Closed Mondays.

BTB Burrito 810 S. State St., Ann Arbor; 734-222-4822; 1140 S. University, Ann Arbor; 734-222-3715; 1906 Packard St., Ann Arbor; 734-995-9940: A friend of ours says it's "the best burrito joint in town," and it's always open nice and late, 11-4 a.m. at their smallish State Street spot, and 11-3 a.m. most days at their "cantina" location on South University (Packard Store is open 10 a.m.-10 p.m. every day). A regular vegetarian burrito sets you back just $3.75, $4.75 with sour cream and guac, or $7.25 for a big, two-tortilla burrito with the trimmings. And it's that simple. What's more, the tax-inclusive prices mean you never have to fumble for anything smaller than a quarter at 2 a.m.

Byblos Cafe and Grill 87 W. Palmer St., Detroit; 313-831-4420; $: Located near Wayne State, this busy shop has held its own for several years, being all things to all people. Their massive menu offers more than 90 dishes, including vegetable-intensive Lebanese and Middle Eastern fare. Go meat-free while your friends can eat American food, even quesadillas, Cajun salmon, fettucine Alfredo, and fish and chips! All this, and even orange Crush to wash it down. Also has bargain prices of $3.75-$5 for wraps and sandwiches. Closed Sundays.

Cass Cafe 4620 Cass Ave., Detroit; 313-831-1400: A fixture on Cass Avenue for years now, this hip eatery's big-room bistro has really kicked up the kitchen in the last few years. And everything's prepared and plated consistently better than the old kitchen ever could. But nothing ever costs more than $15, most things are less, and what hasn't changed is that trusty lentil burger, a low-rent Cass Corridor classic itself. It seems to have been only $6.50 forever. Snag one of those on a night with a PBR special ($5 pitchers Sunday, $1 shell glasses Tuesday) and you have a pretty cheap night out with a pal or two. Heck, even a night alone at the bar can be fun, as there's usually a nice mix of neighborhood fixtures, old and young, white and black, poor and less-poor. The only thing they all seem to share is an unbeatable knack for chatter that ranks the joint among the best places to eavesdrop on conversations.

Earthen Jar 311 S. Fifth Ave., Ann Arbor, 734-327-9464; $: Earthen Jar's buffet-style eat-by-the-pound cuisine is cheap; most of it's vegan. They have everything from Indian specialties to vegan mac 'n' "cheese" to scrambled tofu. And, in the spirit of keeping it local, the dairy they use comes from legendary Calder's. You get a pound of food (literally — it's weighed by the pound) for less than six bucks, which is great for these times, with the R-word always looming over us.

Fly Trap 22950 Woodward Ave., Ferndale, 248-399-5150; $: You can get a burger and fries or just plain eggs at this "finer diner," but don't expect the menu to be cliché side-of-the-highway fare. Vegetarians can find plenty to nosh on, from the tempeh burger to the lemongrass pho bowl (or perhaps some "three-cheese and mac," with its caramelized onions and herbs, or something called a "fettuccine bomb"), and their omnivore friends will delight in the copious-and-never-boring meaty options.

Good Girls go to Paris 15 E. Kirby St., Detroit; 313-664-0490: The traditional French pancake gets an American treatment at this miniature downtown eatery. Each crepe takes almost four minutes, from first careful pouring to handing through the window on a paper plate. Certainly the "savories" run more toward meats. But among sweet crepes, which are the majority, customers like the "Fay," similar to a nonalcoholic Bananas Foster, plus pecans. Don't call ahead. Your crepe does need to be made to order, and it'll be much better if you eat it right then. Sometimes eating is about more than protein and calories; it's about flavor. Open 9 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 9 a.m.-10 p.m. Friday-Saturday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday.

Goodwell's Natural Foods Market 418 W. Willis St., Detroit, 313-831-2130; This health-food store serves good, cheap vegetarian pita sandwiches. Though it's takeout only, you can usually find a place to sit on Willis, right next to Avalon Bakery. On a warm afternoon, you'll likely see more than one college student taking in the open atmosphere outside.

Inn Season Café 500 E. Fourth St., Royal Oak, 248-547-7916; $$: As we keep saying, Inn Season Café — a rare provider of vegetarian cuisine in metro Detroit — has gotten better as it has gotten older. Fine, organic ingredients have always been its hallmark, but it's so much more than "health food." With great effort, they comb farmers' markets and community supported farms to ensure only the freshest, best and most local food makes it to your plate. Very open to diners with dietary restrictions.

International Mini-Café 111 E. Kirby St., Detroit; 313-377-2555: In the basement of the International Institute at Kirby and John R, just east of Woodward, is one of the best lunch deals in town. Each day they offer a different soup; three Indian dishes, two of them vegetarian; a "Mideast feast" of hummus, tabouleh and falafel; a veggie quesadilla; a pasta dish, such as spaghetti with chicken meatballs; nachos; three pizzas; Greek salad; and three American-style sandwiches. Desserts are Middle Eastern pastries, and you will often find crisp, fresh samosas waiting on the entrance table.

Jerusalem Garden 307 S. Fifth Ave., Ann Arbor; 734-995-5060: The only place where falafel is more popular than this tiny Ann Arbor spot would be in Jerusalem itself. Ann Arbor is a lot more convenient and the journey to the Middle East won't get you better food. Falafel — fried patties of ground chick peas, onions, garlic, parsley and other seasonings, served wrapped in pita with baba ghanoush, hummus or refreshing tabbouleh — are as cheap ($4.75) as they are delicious. Cheap eats at their best. It's fast, but not fast food as we know it. Splurge and have a cup of lentil soup.

Le Petit Zinc 1055 Trumbull St., Detroit; 313-963-2805: Charles Sorel, raised in France but with the Caribbean personality of his native Martinique, is providing a splash of sunlight at his breakfast-and-lunch spot in Corktown. His small space has bright yellow walls and bright yellow napkins. It's accented in green and turquoise and is adorned with paintings in primary and other cheerful colors. Outdoors is a patio with raised beds for perennials. Patrons may order crepes, salads, sandwiches, cheese, ratatouille and coffee. Doesn't sound cheap, does it? Surprisingly, Sorel's dishes seldom cost more than $8, and every creation, from crepes to salads to classic French small plates, are works of art, meant to be savored.

Motor City Brewing Works 470 W. Canfield St., Detroit; 313-832-2700: Right across the street from Traffic Jam, this brewpub has a quirky tiled interior, with its concrete bar molded in PVC, its Wednesday-night art shows, and its sturdy menu of pizzas and small plates. For less than $10, you can get a pizza made with ingredients from as local as possible. The beers are excellent. And those Wednesday night art shows are a tightwad's dream, offering work from experimental, established and ex nihil artists, often hanging work that goes for as little as $15. Have a vegetarian pizza, drain a craft brew or two, and invest in a work of art for a little more.

Palm Palace 2370 Carpenter Rd., Ann Arbor, 734-971-5700; 2065 N. Squirrel Rd., Auburn Hills, 248-371-9000; 15750 Hall Rd., Clinton Township, 586-416-4800; $$: If you're in an emotional crisis that only the stuffed grape leaves of your youth will solve, but now you're vegetarian? Palm Palace can be your food therapist. They have some of the best hummus, grape leaves and falafel around; and the lemony crushed lentil soup alone is worth the visit. All vegetarian items on the menu are clearly marked, and there's a generous selection for veggies and omnivores alike. Vegetarian moussaka! Pita creations! Spinach pie! It's an adventure for your mouth. And go with the house salad dressing; it's divine.

Rangoli Indian Cuisine 3055 E. Walton Blvd., Auburn Hills, 248-377-3800; $$: Entrées at Rangoli come in small copper bowls. They've got mattar paneer (cheese cubes cooked with peas in a tomato and cream sauce); bindi masala (okra sautéed with onions and dee-licious spices); spicy-hot chettinadu pepper chicken (fiery peppers in a coconut curry); and select entrées can even be made vegan.

RAW Café 4160 Woodward Ave., Detroit; 313-778-9774; $$: At RAW Café, none of the food is cooked, and it's all vegan and organic, which means it's pretty uniformly healthful. A great midtown location in a striking all-windows space — the former CPop Gallery — that invites hanging out, though without coffee, and only till 6 p.m. The menu includes soups, salads, sandwiches, pasta, pizza, desserts, smoothies and juices. They're the work of LaKeta McCauley, who attributes her recovery from breast cancer to her switch to a raw vegan diet. McCauley is eager to spread her views on the healing powers of food.

Royal Kabob 3236 Caniff St., Hamtramck; 313-872-9454; $$: Here's a weird disconnect: In a metroplex with one of the largest Middle Eastern populations in the whole hemisphere, it has been nothing short of challenging to find good Middle Eastern food in the city proper. With the arrival of Royal Kabob on Caniff in Hamtramck, at least that multi-ethnic enclave has a shop that can provide everything from an ambitious platter to a humble, wax-paper-wrapped falafel sandwich. And those sandwiches are deals: A falafel sandwich is $3.55, as are the four other vegetarian sandwiches. For carnivores, meat-kebab sandwiches are around $3.95. As for their entrées, they're big enough to guarantee you'll leave with a box. Jeez, their $29.95 takeout combo for two is enough food for a small army. Though it does a brisk take-out business, the interior is bright and commodious, with enough room for large parties.

Russell Street Deli 2465 Russell St., Detroit, 313-567-2900; $: A meatless Reuben would, for all omnivorous appearances, seem to be missing the most important bit — you know: the meat. But at Russell Street, it holds its own without. The "vegetarian favorite," with a medley of vegetables, Swiss, sprouts, and a smear of hummus on whole wheat, will send anybody's taste buds into back-flips. The large, open space is chatty and crowded on Saturdays when everybody and their mother turns up for the great breakfast menu — now available during the week too. And of course there are sandwiches of the meat-laden persuasion, but why do you need them if you have sammies that include roasted red pepper, zucchini and sun-dried tomato pesto? Closed Sundays.

Seva 314 E. Liberty St., Ann Arbor; 734-662-1111: What's that you say? The restaurant our readers voted as the Best Vegetarian Restaurant this year has cheap eats? Well, the pastas, couscous dishes, quesadillas and portabella burgers are more expensive, sure, but there are some less expensive choices. You can get tofu rancheros ($9.25), eggs veracruz ($10.95) and the joint's classic burrito ($9.75) — "unchanged since the '70s." For $9.95, you can get a "veggie Reuben," a tempeh-lettuce-tomato sandwich, or a char-grilled tempeh burger. For the enthusiastic vegetarian, any meal for less than $10 at Ann Arbor's premiere veg-head restaurant is definitely a deal. Breakfast served all day.

Sprout House 15233 Kercheval, Grosse Pointe Park, 313-331-3200; $: The Sprout House folks are serious about their health and finds nutrition to be key in a long life. A sort of organic grocery, with produce, vitamins and health and beauty products, this place does a thriving carryout business in sandwiches and refrigerated prepared dishes. Offering vegan, organic dairy, organic chicken, soy cheese and vegetarian options, the store has preservative-, growth hormone- and antibiotic-free foods. Live healthy.

Taste of Ethiopia 29702F Southfield Rd., Southfield, 248-905-5560; 2453 Russell St., Detroit, 313-567-6000; $: The temptation is not to dwell on the Ethiopian bread, good as it is, but to see it as the vehicle for delivering the various we'ts (stews) and t'ibs (sautes) to your mouth. The flavors cooked up are so deep and so true, you may suspect you've never really experienced a lentil or a collard so intimately, and at unbeatable prices.

The Treehouse for Earth's Children Health and Holistic Center 22906 Mooney St., Farmington; 248-473-0624; $$: The Treehouse, which has occupied an unprepossessing blue-and-white building in the less affluent part of Farmington for 18 years now, evokes immediately all the stereotypes about very-health-conscious food. But set the setting aside, and you can find some tasty, inexpensive, certified organic meals at the Treehouse. The place is undogmatic about everything except "organic" and "no meat," serving both raw and cooked, vegan and eggs. There's even a salmon sandwich.

Woodbridge Pub 5169 Trumbull St., Detroit; 313-833-2701; $$: Woodbridge serves what may be the best vegetarian burger in the city, the "Stevers McFever," named for the owner's folk-singing pal, and it's a deal at $8. It could help lay a foundation for Whiskey Appreciation Night (Thursday), with $2 off all whiskey shots, or the bottomless mimosas for brunch — from noon to 4 p.m. — for $11. Open from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. daily.

ZamZam 11917 Conant, Hamtramck; 313-893-9902; $: Value is a term that gets tossed about often, but ZamZam could easily find itself pictured next to the word in an illustrated dictionary. There isn't an item on the menu more than $10, the portion sizes are significant, and the food is enjoyable. Our three-person party has been able to leave on more than one occasion with bags full of leftovers and bellies bursting with joyfully obtained discomfort for less than $40. Each meal comes with either rice or naan, though given the low cost and large portions, it's easy enough to enjoy both in a sitting, especially if those at the table share.

With the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement negotiation concluded, attention is now turning to the Trans Pacific Partnership agreement. The TPP currently includes the US, Australia, Brunei, Chile, New Zealand, Singapore, Peru, Malaysia and Vietnam. Canada has not joined the negotiation, but there have been periodic rumours that wants in (it was apparently initially asked but declined due to the impact due to the agricultural impact).

Much like ACTA, there have been periodic TPP leaks, particularly on intellectual property issues. Last month, the New Zealand and Chilean proposals leaked online. Yesterday, the big one leaked – the U.S.’s 38 page intellectual property chapter. The U.S. plan is everything it wanted in ACTA but didn’t get.  For example, the digital lock rules are the U.S. DMCA, complete with exact same exceptions (no more, no less). The term of copyright matches the U.S. term of life of the author plus 70 years, beyond the Berne requirement and Canadian law. The ISP provisions including a copy of the U.S. notice-and-takedown system as well as provisions that go beyond U.S. law. In other words, the U.S. envisions using the TPP to export its copyright law to as many countries as possible while creating backdoor changes to its own domestic laws.  Moreover, the chapter extends well beyond copyright, with patent provisions that would restrict countries’ ability to restrict patentable subject matter.

KEI provides a good initial overview of some of the U.S. demands. While Canadians are not directly affected at the moment, it is certainly possible that pressure to join the TPP will increase in the months ahead with a deal that Canada did not have a hand in negotiating.

  1. So, the current spin [from the opposition] on parliament hill is accountability and transparency in government. Maybe such feelings will trickle down to our southern neighbors and the USTR.

    And if only raindrops … were gumdrops.

  2. Man the U.S. is going to pot and trying their best to drag everyone down with em.

  3. CndCitizen says:

    The US realized their mistake…
    When they started outsourcing all their jobs to other nations without any protection for their IP/Patent rights. Now that the cat is out of the bag, they want to rain in all these second/third world countries so they can’t sell cheaper knockoffs that end up on ships back to America undercutting the only revenue source left in US which is banking, stock market and management companies.

    I believe that the US now trying to protect the corporate greed that has been going on for the last 10 years. They (corporations) have invested millions in third world to outsource jobs and train those workers at the detriment to american jobs. Anyway…a mess is a mess and more protectionism will mean even fewer jobs in USA.

  4. it won’t end until we are all DMCA’d up
    I hope this is demonstration enough to everyone (here and elsewhere) that the U.S. will NOT stop until the entire world lives under the same (and worse) draconian IP and copyright idiocy that they have imposed on their own residents. And our governments are all willing and ready to be steamrolled.

    This is a fight that we, the constituents, and the oppressed, are going to have to fight every single day for the rest of our lives. And we are going to have to teach our children to fight also, as it will not end when we all die.

  5. Can we just built that brick wall already and block off the US?

  6. @end user: “Can we just built that brick wall already and block off the US? ”

    Nope. The Chinese have a patent on “Great Wall” constructions.

    Nap. :-)

  7. The proves that the United States is insane. They keep trying over and over expecting a different result.

  8. “Nope. The Chinese have a patent on “Great Wall” constructions”
    I was hoping the US would get to our wall after they finish that nice one they are making for Mexico.

  9. CndCitizen says:

    @Nap – The US will ignore the Chinese Copyright/Patent on the Great Wall and build it anyway between Mexico and US, then they will sue China for CR/P/IP lawsuits and force the Chinese to release the great wall to US jurisdiction or destroy it all together because it infringes on their IP/CP/P standing….

    @crade – They won’t be able to afford the US/Canadian wall because they will not be able to afford the cheap Mexican illegal(s) cheap labour force that helped build the wall between US/Mexico before they expelled them all…

  10. Is there anywhere left on the planet that I emigrate to without having to worry about the USTR ruining the local IP laws? I was thinking Sweeden, but the between TPB and Wikileaks I wonder how long that’s going to last.

  11. @Owen:

    Brazil. No more snow too.

  12. Corporations are starting to get way to politically powerful.

  13. @CndCitizen
    I suspect that they’ve realized their mistake, but rather than repealing the Sonny Bono Act (that would be an admission that they screwed up) they want to force it on the rest of us.

    In any case, I can’t see why anyone would be surprised about this, or even have expected anything different. Certainly as a starting point for the negotiations it what I would have expected from the USTR.

    @Chris A: It has ever been thus. In the US corporations make large donations to the political parties; they wouldn’t do so unless they saw some reward for doing so. Certainly at the very least they can threaten to hold back campaign financing from the parties unless they get their way. In the US this occurs with both the Democratic and Republican parties.

    In Canada this has changed, but it is now trackable through Elections Canada. For instance, in 1997 the LPC got $11.15M from businesses, $4.5M from individuals, while in the same year the old PC party got $6.3M from businesses and $3.6M from individuals, and the old Reform party $1.9M from businesses and $3.1M from individuals.

  14. Copyright Litigation says:

    Similar story
    Here is a similar story

    The early reports on TPP was that the USTR would only consider ratcheting up intellectual property laws to more draconian states. It would not even consider the idea of decreasing the already too strict levels of intellectual property laws. It also would not bother with increasing consumer protections or important exceptions to stronger intellectual property law — even if it’s been shown that those exceptions have a much greater impact on the economy than the IP laws themselves.

  15. The Admired says:

    When will this end? The USTR is just causing more and more trouble. Leave the Internet alone! IP laws are too much already.

Injured? Free Advice (800) 777-0028

Chrysler fails to defraud Macomb County jury in serious car accident case

Last Wednesday, a Macomb County jury returned a verdict of $5.65 million for my client, Tony Broeren. Tony was seriously injured when he was literally run-over by a pick-up truck. For starters, he suffered crush injuries to his leg that have required many surgeries and a traumatic brain injury.

The person responsible for the accident, Roy Bates, was a Chrysler engineer who was driving a Chrysler test vehicle at the time. Under Michigan law, Chrysler was financially responsible for the jury verdict. But due to a quirk in Michigan law, Chrysler was not allowed to be named a defendant in the case.

Still, Chrysler called all the shots throughout the case, hiring the defense attorneys and making all settlement and trial decisions. Meanwhile, the jury was never allowed to know about Chrysler’s involvement. So the case proceeded as if there was an individual defendant — who was also a friend of the plaintiff — as the sole responsible party.

Chrysler tries to play hard ball in settling Michigan personal injury case

As a result, Chrysler took an extremely hard-line position. The lawyers defending the case for Chrysler claimed that a Macomb County jury would never return millions of dollars, no matter how serious the injuries, in a case that appeared to be one individual friend suing another individual friend for a tragic automobile accident.

The lawyers for Chrysler also said that their own Michigan research showed there were no million dollar jury verdicts reported in cases involving individual defendants, meaning there was no corporation named as a party defendant.

In response, I provided Chrysler with two such examples from Michigan Auto Law alone, where juries had awarded million dollar-plus verdicts against individual defendants. I informed the Chrysler defense lawyers that their argument was based upon a logical fallacy: The lack of many million dollar jury verdicts against individual defendants has more to do with the fact that catastrophic injury cases, such as Tony Broeren’s, usually resolve due to the lower insurance policy limits that individuals carry. Therefore, more serious injury cases that would result in multi-million dollar verdicts do not go to trial.

Chrysler ignored my position, repeatedly contending that without the jury knowing the corporation was involved, the case would be portrayed as a friend suing a friend over a tragic car accident, and it simply did not matter how badly the plaintiff had been hurt.

Chrysler won’t settle Michigan personal injury auto accident case

Anthony G. Broeren v. Roy Bates II went through case evaluation in Macomb County Circuit Court, where a panel of lawyers representing both the plaintiff and defense personal injury bars evaluated the case at $2.6 million. The plaintiff accepted the case evaluation award while the defendant rejected. The defendant’s offer to settle was zero.

Next the case proceeded to facilitation, where both sides are required to work with a facilitator in an attempt to resolve matters and avoid the cost and time of trial. The defendant offered $600,000 to settle the case.

The plaintiff wrote in its settlement demand to Chrysler at the time of facilitation: “The case evaluation in this matter was $2.6 million. Plaintiff accepted. The case evaluation did not take place that long ago, and plaintiff has said that they will exercise good faith in working with defendant at facilitation toward a settlement that is fair to both parties…Perhaps, without Chrysler as a named party defendant; a Macomb County jury may only award $5 million in damages. Perhaps not. It is an interesting roll of the dice for Chrysler to chance.”

Trial time: Brain injured client prevails over Chrysler’s tactics

The case proceeded to trial. Chrysler never offered more than $600,000 to settle until the day before trial, when it offered $1 million. The jury returned a verdict of $5.65 million. Keep in mind, Chrysler rejected the case evaluation award of $2.6 million.

Now Chrysler is not only responsible for the $5.65 million verdict, but also must cover interest, costs and attorney fees for the case, according to Michigan law. The final award will be well over $6 million.

Chrysler learns its lesson

This case is notable for many reasons, but most importantly: Chrysler tried to take advantage of a quirk in Michigan law and in essence, aimed to defraud a jury by deliberately portraying the case as a horrible accident resulting in one friend suing another.

The lawyers for Chrysler made no attempt to fairly settle the case beforehand, instead relying upon an unfair generalization of Macomb County juries being conservative in personal injury lawsuits. Fortunately, this Macomb County jury was able to return a verdict that was proportionate to the economic losses and human losses Tony Broeren suffered.

Moreover, the case shows that defendants who avoid responsibility for their harms and attempt to take unfair advantage of Michigan’s auto laws (which state that juries are not allowed to know about insurance or who really pays a verdict) will be held accountable.

The case is an important victory not only for Tony Broeren, but for all Michigan residents who may find themselves in a similar situation one day — forced to trial by a corporation attempting to fool a jury. Additionally, the case serves as an important lesson for corporations and insurance companies who may now think twice before attempting to unfairly exploit the rule that juries are not told about insurance in car accident cases.

Practitioner’s Corner: Testing and Training Volunteer Translators and Interpreters

Practitioner’s Corner: Testing and Training Volunteer Translators and Interpreters

By Amina Huda

Many municipalities have a volunteer language bank made up of bilingual staff who are called upon to provide translation and interpretation services. In most instances, volunteers self-identify as bilingual (or multilingual). While it is cost effective to use in-house volunteers compared to a paid vendor service, it may be more challenging to ensure the quality of the language services provided.

For most language banks, there are no skill requirements to volunteer. The volunteer’s language proficiency is not verified, and there is no standard set on the level of training or skill. Assessment of volunteers’ language proficiency is important, and they should be given basic training on how to provide translation and interpretation services.

Using an unskilled and/or untrained volunteer translator or interpreter could result in serious consequences, such as a breach of confidentiality or poor or incorrect communication. In response, New York City created a program called NYCertified that tests and trains bilingual employees in providing interpretation and translation services.

Reasons to test and train language bank volunteers:

  • Confirms that the individual is proficient in both English and the target language.
  • Ensures quality in the services provided by the volunteer.
  • Reduces the needs for paid vendor services, lowering overall costs.
  • Creates a volunteer workforce of bilingual individuals who have been trained on the ethics and protocol of providing language services.
  • Builds the existing community network of translators and interpreters.
  • Develops new resources for a municipality to utilize.

Components of the NYCertified program:

Assess volunteers’ skills to ensure that they are qualified to provide interpreter services

  1. Volunteers choose between two tracks — interpretation and translation.
  2. Volunteers take a language proficiency assessment. The language test is offered by a third-party vendor in 90 languages. New York City uses a professional vendor service to conduct proficiency tests.
  3. This assessment is used to determine a candidate’s ability to enter a training class.

Provide training to prepare volunteers

  1. The training is for bilingual volunteers who already, or plan to, interpret or translate at their place of employment informally, and have not been formally trained in the techniques, methods, and ethics of interpreting and translating.
  2. Training includes tips on providing language services, ethics of translation/interpretation, and role plays. The one-day training is led by nationally known experts. Volunteers must fulfill the training component of the process to become NYCertified.

Create a database of volunteer information

  1. Volunteer information, including contact information and language proficiency levels, is recorded in the volunteer language bank. City staff needing an interpreter or translator can make a request.
  2. Allow requesters to distinguish between those of greater skill and training and those of lesser skill and knowledge.

Employees commit their time and language skills outside of their primary job responsibility to the language bank on a voluntary basis. Employees must gain approval from their supervisor to participate, with the understanding that their primary job responsibilities will not conflict with their volunteer work. Since they are volunteers, they can always decline any translation or interpretation request.

When can you use a volunteer translator or interpreter?

It is important to make the distinction of when an agency should use a volunteer from the language bank versus a paid vendor service. Going through a proficiency assessment and one-day training does not make a volunteer a certified translator or interpreter. NYC agencies are strongly encouraged to use a professional vendor to provide the majority of language services. The volunteer language bank should be used only to supplement and enhance these services. Volunteers should never be asked to translate a medical or legal document. Instead, volunteers can be used to, for example:

  • Proofread and review a document translated by an outside vendor
  • Translate informational brochures
  • Translate posters or other marketing material
  • Interpret during town hall meetings, school events, or workshops

Over the last three years, more than 1,000 bilingual volunteers have gone through the NYCertified program speaking 40 different languages, ranging from Arabic to Tagalog. With the commitment from these volunteers, Limited English Proficient (LEP) customers are able to obtain quality interpretation and translation services when applying for or receiving City services or benefits. NYCertified helps address challenges related to language access implementation by ensuring quality in the services provided by the volunteer, lowering the costs of citywide language access, and bolstering the spirit of volunteerism throughout the City. NYCertified is a program that can be used as an example by cities or municipalities looking to meet the need for efficient language assistance policies that provide quality customer service to LEP customers.

Amina Huda is a Policy Advisor at the NYC Mayor’s Office of Operations, where she focuses on providing language access tools and resources to over 30 city agencies, helping them comply with Executive Order 120. Ms. Huda holds a master’s in public affairs from Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs.

Millefeuille of Smoked Bonito and Olive Truffles

Millefeuille of Smoked Bonito and Olive Truffles recipe, brought to you by Mark Best and MiNDFOOD.

Millefeuille of Smoked Bonito and Olive Truffles

Bonito can be magnificent when freshly caught and respectfully treated.
The bonito in this recipe is cured and then smoked and it is paired with some
very humble ingredients which sing in harmony when carefully prepared.

Serves 10

1 kilogram bonito

50 grams table salt,

50 grams caster sugar

zest of 1 Meyer lemon

300 grams kalamata olives

2 large desiree potatoes

Murray River pink salt,

a little extra virgin olive oil

Foie gras custard

80 grams unsalted butter

500 millilitres pouring cream

100 grams chicken livers

100 grams foie gras terrine

6 egg yolks,

1 teaspoon quatre épices

1 teaspoon fine salt

Sesame salt

50 grams sesame seeds

Murray River pink salt

1 Begin this recipe one day in advance. Pit 300 grams kalamata olives and spread them between two sheets of baking paper. Use a small heavy-based saucepan to bang and flatten the olives. Place the olives on dehydrator trays and dry in a food dehydrator at 60°C for 12 hours, or until dried and crisp. Store in an airtight container with silica gel beads until required.

2 Wash and peel 2 large desiree potatoes and slice on a meat slicer or mandolin 1 millimetre thick. Refrigerate overnight in plenty of cold water to remove any starch. Drain the potatoes and dry well.

3 To make the foie gras custard, melt 80 grams unsalted butter and 500 millilitres pouring cream together in a saucepan over a low heat until the butter starts to melt. Add 100 grams chicken livers and 100 grams foie gras terrine and allow to warm through. Blend with a wand blender and then strain through a chinoise.

4 Whisk together 6 egg yolks, 1 teaspoon quatre épices (see page 292) and 1 teaspoon fine salt in a large bowl until combined. Pour the cream mixture over the yolks and whisk together. Pour into a 1 litre heatproof dish and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Steam in a combi steam oven at 72ºC for 12 minutes. Allow to cool, then refrigerate until required.

5 To make the sesame salt, roast 50 grams sesame seeds in a heavy-based pan until lightly golden. Add 5 grams Murray River pink salt. Transfer to a spice grinder and blend until pulverised to a coarse powder.

6 Choose a spanking fresh 1 kilogram bonito preferably still in rigor. Gut and fillet the fish. Wipe dry with paper towels and then fillet. Divide the fillet in two pieces along the lateral line, removing the lateral pin bones. Use the upper quarter for this recipe. The belly can be used for another dish.

7 To make the curing mixture, mix 50 grams table salt and 50 grams caster sugar in a bowl. Hold a fine Microplane grater over the bowl and grate the zest of 1 Meyer lemon into the bowl – by grating the lemon over the bowl, the essential oils will be trapped. Rub the curing mixture evenly over both sides of the bonito, cover in plastic wrap and leave to cure for 1 hour.

8 Briefly rinse the fish and pat dry. Place the fish on a wire rack over a baking tray and place in a cold oven. Heat a heavy-based pan over a high heat and add 200 grams oak woodchips. When the smoking chips catch alight, wait until they are burning evenly then snuff out the flames by inverting a second pan over the first. Transfer the pan of woodchips to the oven, quickly close the door and smoke the fish for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Refrigerate until required.

8 Preheat the oven to 180°C. Invert a heavy baking tray and place a sheet of baking paper on top. Lay the soaked and drained potatoes evenly over the tray, season with Murray River pink salt and a little extra virgin olive oil. Lay another sheet of baking paper on top and another baking tray. Place in the oven with some heavy weights on top to stop the tray buckling.

9 Cook for about 40 minutes until the potatoes are transparent and golden, rotating the tray by 180 degrees after 20 minutes to ensure even cooking.Check from time to time during the cooking. Store in an airtight container with silica gel beads until required – the potato chips are served cold and crisp.

10 Before serving, slice the bonito thinly across the grain. Cut the dried olive flakes into fine julienne.

11 To serve, place a dab of foie gras custard in the middle of each flat serving plate and place a potato chip on top. Add 1 teaspoon custard on top and then a slice or two of bonito. Sprinkle the julienned olives over the bonito. Add another potato chip and repeat the process, finishing with a chip. Season liberally with the sesame salt.

Summer boom in town’s house market

editorial image
Have your say

A local estate agent has reported an upturn in the Dewsbury property market.

William H Brown is experiencing a ‘flurry’ of house-hunting activity as clients look to finalise their moves before Christmas.

Jo Hobbs, branch manager, said:“We typically see more people looking to move around this time of the year.

“We usually find that, with the summer holidays over and children returning to school, people turn their attention to moving home, whether they are buying for the first time, upsizing or downsizing.

“ September is an ideal time to start marketing your property if you want to move by the end of the year.”

William H Brown say they are seeing a greater degree of confidence across the market and a high number of would-be buyers registering an interest in buying.

This is good news for sellers, increasing the chance of securing a quick sale.

“We would urge anyone thinking of moving to get in touch and see how we can best service their needs.

“Although there is a lot of activity currently in the local housing market, we still need more houses to sell.

“The opportunities are certainly there and with the right agent there is no reason why vendors should not achieve a quick sale at a good price.”

The firm has also reported buoyancy in the lettings market, with national data revealing an 11 percent increase in the number of viewings of rental homes this June and July and a 15 percent jump in lets.

Traditionally, rental activity slows down during the summer months, so the statistics would appear to buck the trend.

The team have attributed this boom to an increase in people choosing to rent for lifestyle reasons and for the flexibility it offers.

The Dewsbury branch of William H Brown includes a regulated lettings service with an ARLA-qualified agent.

The conduct professional inventories and belong to the Tenancy Deposit Scheme, and also offers property management, rent collection and insurance services.

“Demand for rental accommodation remains very high. We would urge current and prospective landlords to get in touch and see if we can help them make the most of this upturn,” said lettings manager Anne Brody.

Not everybody lies down under the lash of Coalition austerity.

More than 150 Care UK workers in Doncaster belonging to Unison went on strike to fight pay cuts of up to 50%.

A ballot vote returned “overwhelming” support for the walkout.

The action, by front-line staff caring for some of the most vulnerable people in society, will last a week.

Unison will not picket individual workplaces “because of the nature of the client group.”

But the union is worried about the standard of care being provided during the dispute.

Care UK is bussing in strangers and putting them up in hotels.

The company says it has to cut costs after being awarded the contract by Doncaster council.

Jim Bell, Unison organiser, insists: “We have a great deal of support in the community for our members.

“People can see the gross injustice of a company imposing massive pay cuts on people already suffering from low and frozen wages as the cost of living soars.”

I wish the Donny strikers well. Taking on powerful privateers like Care UK is no picnic.

But as I always say in these situations, there is no guarantee of success if you have a go – only a guarantee of failure if you don’t.

Secretary of State for Health Jeremy Hunt delivers his speech to delegates on the third day of the Conservative Party Conference at Manchester Central in Manchester
Debt:" Secretary of State for Health Jeremy Hunt

Bleeding your money away

Crisis-hit Mid Staffordshire Foundation Trust, £20million “in debt”, has been dissolved, hitting local services.

Most NHS hospitals are now self-governing foundation trusts, doing what they like with our money.

Over the last year, the number of trusts in financial trouble has almost doubled from 21 to 39. Their combined debts are £180million.

This is what happens when you turn a vital public service like the NHS over to profit-driven bosses.

They mess up and walk away with monster pay-offs. New Labour started this process, its greatest shame in an iffy government record.

Naturally, the Tories accelerated the drive towards privatisation, with the inevitable result that our beloved health service is a financial shambles.

Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt couldn’t even be bothered to turn up in Parliament to announce the break-up of Mid-Staffs.

He made a written ministerial statement to avoid critical questioning by MPs.

“Safe in our hands” was David Cameron’s pre-election NHS boast. How hollow those words now ring.

They can’t even be trusted with a single bedpan.

So much for your £7, then

Chancellor George Osborne cynically talked up the possibility of a big rise in the National Minimum Wage to £7 an hour, saying companies could afford to pay more.

He pretended the final decision rests with the Low Pay Commission, which is untrue.

They recommend, but he decides.

So, will he now accept the Commission’s proposal of a pathetic 3% rise to £6.50 an hour in October, or overrule them and impose a more generous increase?

With Tory-supporting employers urging Osborne to hold down pay, no prizes for guessing correctly.

M25 biker's a virtual idiot

TV footage of a man pedalling along Britain’s busiest motorway, oblivious to traffic roaring by, shows how ridiculous is the growing dependence on satnav and suchlike.

The cyclist consulted his smartphone app (whatever that is) for a short cut home from work and it directed him along the M25 in Surrey.

Motorists suffered long delays before police stopped the two-wheeled twerp and fined him £50.

They should have confiscated his bike, too. That would have shown him.

I simply don’t understand the imbecility of the modern world, which is willing to believe what appears on a smartphone rather than what it sees with its own eyes.

Texting driver gets 9 years in prison for fatal Sioux Falls crash

SIOUX FALLS (AP) — A southeast South Dakota man accused of fatally injuring a motorcyclist while speeding and texting has been sentenced to nine years in prison.

Twenty-two-year-old Brent O'Neal was sentenced Tuesday in Sioux Falls. He pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter in December.

O'Neal was arrested in July 2012 after causing a five-vehicle chain-reaction crash that killed 33-year-old motorcyclist Philip Sorensen.

O'Neal revealed in a jailhouse conversation with a visitor after his arrest that he was texting and driving that night while trying to make plans for his 21st birthday. He tried to have the statements tossed out of court but a judge denied the motion.

The judge in Minnehaha County sentenced O'Neal to 20 years in prison, but suspended 11.

O'Neal offered his "deepest apologies" to Sorensen's family during the hearing.

Got an old V-8-powered clunker lying around? The government says it could be worth $4,500 towards the purchase of your next SUV — and it’s OK if it only gets marginally better gas mileage. I love the idea of the federal cash-for-clunkers law, but I hate the way it is shaping up in Washington, the city where dreams go to die.

There’s no question that cash for clunkers is a good idea. According to a Center for American Progress white paper, cars 13 years old or older account for 25 percent of the miles driven, but 75 percent of the auto-related pollution. They’re 30 times dirtier. And we could scrap 2 million gas guzzlers for $5 billion, a relative bargain.

But the compromise worked out between the House of Representatives has resulted in a bill that doesn’t make much sense, especially when it comes to trucks. The clunker has to get 18 mpg or worse, but the trade-in can be only two mpg better and you still get a $3,500 voucher. For $4,500, it only has to be five mpg better. This is not a misprint — two and five mpg — we’re not saving the planet with tiny increments this way.

The bill is a bit better for cars — it has to be 10 mpg better for you to clear the $4,500 voucher, but even if there’s only a four mpg improvement you’re good for $3,500. Thanks, Captain Planets of the U.S. House of Representatives!

The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy says the scrappage program “needs repair.” According to Therese Langer, ACEEE’s transportation program director, “I can’t see using taxpayer dollars to sell a Hummer H3T [which meets the 15-mpg large truck threshold].”

There’s a better bill, introduced in the Senate by Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Susan Collins (R-ME) and Charles Schumer (D-NY).

This one would achieve 32 to 38 percent greater fuel savings than the House compromise, and would demand that the car you buy has above-average fuel economy in its class. The trade-in will have to be 17-mpg or worse, which may raise the price on ’74 Cadillac Eldorados. New cars under their version of the program will have to get at least 24 mpg and trucks 20 mpg. The new car will have to be at least seven mpg better than the one traded in, and the new truck at least three mpg.

The senators think their version would save 176 gallons of gas per vehicle per year (compared to 133 gallons in the House bill) and 11,451 barrels of oil per day (House: 8,706 barrels). Feinstein says the House compromise would “allow for the scrapping of perfectly adequate vehicles in return for federal incentives to purchase gas-guzzling vehicles. That’s unacceptable.”

It’s not surprising that the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers likes the Senate version of the bill backed by Deborah Stabenow (D-MI) and Sam Brownback (R-KA). It’s much friendlier to SUVs and other cars Detroit is still stuck with. New cars have to get 22 mpg instead of 24, and trucks 18 mpg instead of 20. Brownback and Stabenow say it will sell a million vehicles over its one-year life. That’s great for Stabenow’s state of Michigan, but what kind of cars will they be?

According to Alliance President and CEO Dave McCurdy, “With just-released May auto sales reporting a continued decline towards numbers that haven’t been seen in a quarter century it is imperative to consumers, dealers, manufacturers and the communities they represent that a fleet modernization proposal be passed by Congress and quickly signed into law by the President.” That's their emphasis.

Jack Hidary, one of the authors of the Center for American Progress white paper and the chairman of, says the compromise bill came about because lawmakers needed the vote of powerful Michigan Congressman John Dingell on the climate bill, and "he demanded a much lower bar because U.S. automakers produce so few fuel-efficient cars."

U.S. automakers currently have a million cars in inventory, so action is needed fast. Ten other countries, including Germany and Italy, have instituted their own version of clunker bills, and they're already producing increased car sales.

Let’s get rid of the clunker of a bill now moving forward. The reform bill would actually help, compared to legislation that is a big wet kiss to auto states and car dealers. It is still early in the process, Hidary says, and it is possible that the legislation that actually gets passed will be a further compromise — between the Stabenow and Feinstein versions of the Senate bills. The differences could be worked out in a Senate conference.

Here's a bit more of an explanation of how cash for clunker bills work, from

Starting Items

Starting Agressive

Doran's Blade is very effective on Aatrox, especially if you're going for a very agressive counter-jungling and early ganks. Since it provides additional sustain and damage, together with your [W] you heal off very quickly, espcially when you're below 50% health, since it improves heal from [W]x3 times.

Starting Defensive
Very few situations when you'd be willing to start like that, but that for sure will keep you away from spamming pots, and you can keep jungling/ganking without recall, but lower clearing speed.

Starting Standart

Well, not much to add here. With your sustain and 5 pots you should have no problems jungling, additional damage from Machete will help you clear camps even faster.

Guide Top

Core Items

Core Items

Blade of the Ruined King - Probably the best core items for most Auto-Attacking Melee champions. Greatly singergizes with your [W] Blood Thirst, provides bonus sustain, crowd control, attack speed, damage and in some cases even escape.

Every other item is basically optional and highly situational.

Guide Top

Core Builds

DPS build vs Heavy Magic Damage

* Mercury's Treads - Best basic item against Magic Damage and your #1 enemy Crowd Control.
* BotRK - Your primary item, which provides additional crowd control, attack speed, sustain, damage and in some cases even escape. You benefit from every aspect of this item.
* Maw of Malmortius - Aatrox is the champ that balances his health pool on half in most situations. Since you will always stay at 50%-60%~ health, you will get additional 16-20 attack damage from item's passive. Anti-magic 400 HP shield will save you from champions that rely on burst damage, rather than long fights which you'd prefer. And basic magic resists also comes in handy
* Spirit Visage - Very few champions benefit from this item as much as you do. You will gain additional lifesteal, sustain from [W] [Blood Thirst], BotRK active spell and even your Passive [Blood Pool] will restore more health. Also cooldown reduction, health and magic resistance are just what Aatrox needs in such fights.
* Mercurial Scimitar - Rather optional and rarely use item, however since your champion lives only while fights and massive crowd control makes u very vulnerable this one might come in handy. Additional attack damage and magic resistence + "cleanse" which might turn the tide of the battle for Aatrox. However can be replaced with any other item you desire if there's not much CC in their team.
* The Black Cleaver - Additional health, cooldown reduction, damage, 10 + 25% armor penetration makes this item very effective for a melee fighter such as Aatrox. I don't need to explain why you'd need all of those stats.

Basically this build should provide you enough damage, health and magic resistance to fight heavy Magic Damage composition teams and win the battle. The rest depends on yours and your team skill.

Verizon To Acquire AOL For $ 4.4 Billion To Dominate Mobile Advertising

Verizon To Acquire AOL For $ 4.4 Billion To Dominate Mobile Advertising

The mobile advertising market is about to face a big boom! Verizon Communications is set to acquire AOL Media at a grand worth of US$ 4.4 Billion and going to make the biggest U.S. wireless carrier into world’s leading provider of content and video for the web and mobile phones.

This is going to intensify things as the battle for mobile advertising and digital media is going to get more fierce. So what is the deal behind these two big media giants that is bringing them together. Let’s analyze!

As a wireless provider, Verizon is the largest service of its kind in the U.S. On the other hand, AOL stands tall with the superior in-house technology of powering exclusive videos and automated targeting of ads to the mobile devices.

With the help of AOL, Verizon will now be able to extend the stretch of its services. The onset of Verizon’s Mobile Streaming Service, which will commence during Summer season would feature live TV, concept based reality shows, and pay-per-view system. The association between the two giants will definitely support the purpose!

Verizon’s Bet On This Acquisition

The world around Verizon Communications has been competitive for quite a while! Needless to say, the competition is stiff, especially in the wake of brands like T-Mobile US Inc. that stands as a tough challenger in front of the company. Can this acquisition help Verizon Communications to compete against two biggest online advertising giants named Google and Facebook? Hopefully, the news is good for Verizon Communications!

Verizon Communications is planning to release the mobile video streaming service in the coming month (by the end of June). It is notable that AOL’s technology will provide an upper hand in drafting this video streaming service.

According to Roger Entner, the analyst for Recon Analytics, the idea behind this acquisition is to integrate the advertising functions with the content programming (that will be ultimately powered by the wireless network). He declared the plan ‘ambitious’- a certain dramatic move taken to overtake the dominance of Google.

The Acquisition – Facts You Cannot Miss!

With this acquisition, AOL and its digital properties, including Huffington Post, TechCrunch and Engadget websites, would become part of  Verizon, however AOL CEO Tim Armstrong will be staying in his role. In fact, the AOL Chief is expected to net nearly $180 million from the deal from the $50-per-share Verizon that offer represents a premium of 17.4 percent to AOL’s Monday close. With 6.7% ownership of the company, it makes Armstrong the largest individual shareholder.

Tim-Armstrong Verizon To Acquire AOL For $ 4.4 Billion To Dominate Mobile Advertising

AOL Chief Executive Officer, Tim Armstrong

Armstrong, who has been trying to build up AOL’s expertise in mobile advertising technology, sees mobile representing 80 percent of media consumption in coming years.

Verizon has over 100 million mobile consumers, content deals with the likes of the National Football League and a meaningful strategy in mobile video.. And if we are going to lead, we need to lead in mobile.  – AOL CEO Armstrong in a memo to his employees

Total Acquisition worth US$ 4.4 Billion
The payment procedure- Verizon Communications will pay an amount of $50 per share and a 17 percent premium over AOL’s estimate stock price by Monday evening.
Who will lead the operations for AOL? The ongoing CEO for AOL, Tim Armstrong, will continue to lead the work operations for AOL.
A word about the shares of AOL: AOL’s shares witnessed a 19 percent hike in the rate that landed them to $50.52.

The rate is superior to what Verizon Communications has offered in the deal!

Verizon Communications share’s were dropped at the rate of 0.4 percent to $49.62.

The nature of the Service- The service resulted from the acquisition will provide a mixed support of paid, free and ad-supported content.

The idea is not to replicate the traditional TV.

The service will feature short duration snippets- rather than anything as long as a complete 30 minute show.

The motto behind the acquisition:

To provide premium digital experience to user.

As per the press release provided by Verizon Communications, the acquisition will help the company’s idea of awarding a cross-screen connection for costumers, creators and advertisers.

Story behind the AOL Journey

The journey of steady ups and down has always kept AOL motivated! Right from the beginning (about 15 years back when AOL came into news for merging with Time Warner Inc.), AOL has bravely faced the test of time.

When it started, AOL was one among the world’s largest deal, and when it proceeded further, it was also a terrible failure. AOL had seen the time of failure- a time when their shares went sinking deep!

However, the time of glory was in the company’s fate. The time came when under the leadership of Armstrong, AOL bought the most acknowledged sites like Huffington Post, TechCrunch, MapQuest and Moviefone and expanded their reign in mobile content.

financial-markets-wall-street-verizon-aol-acquisition Verizon To Acquire AOL For $ 4.4 Billion To Dominate Mobile Advertising

AOL’s shares went up after the news of Verizon acquisition

With this latest development, AOL will work as a subdivision of Verizon Communications. According to Armstrong, the purpose of this deal is to oversee the current assets of AOL, and also to analyze the additional assets derived from Verizon in order to target the mobile cum video media space.

The deal will certainly add scale and vision to the every exercise done under the name of AOL- be it content, video, advertising strategy and so on.

Background About Verizon Communications

The wireless market in the U.S is saturation! Managing intense competition and customer base of 100 million wireless users, Verizon Communications is proceeding towards the heights of quality and versatility in service.

What particular differs Verizon Communications from the rest of the competitive lot is their desire for ‘newness’ in service. Mobile video-streaming service planned by Verizon Communications will be a defining edge in the wireless market- it will boost users subscription and number of packages that are targeted to the American audience.

What The Acquisition May Do:

Mobile Industry is every changing, and thanks to the acquisition deals between Verizon and AOL that is promising new heights. Since beginning, the focus of AOL technology has been on the approach of ‘programmatic advertising’- an automated marketplace where advertisements are found, and they are inserted in a flash.

The audience using mobile technology is diverse- needless to say, people nowadays are more interested in watching videos on their personal mobile devices. Don’t you think Verizon Communications has discovered an amazing strategy for competing with Google and Facebook ad network?

It’s been a while since Verizon has been working as a video-streaming system! Meanwhile, they have also acquired the leading video technology companies in their journey to success- companies like upLynk, EdgeCast and OnCue are already working under Verizon Communications.

Verizon’s latest call with AOL is the largest attempt of pushing Mobile video in an all new revenue generation strategy. Being the early birds of mobile advertising technology, Verizon is leading the use of mobile video-streaming. Hopefully, they are on the right track and vision! hopes for the best digital experience due to this deal!

Black Thorn is the latest terrorist group to challenge Rainbow. By recreating some of the most infamous terrorist incidents in history, its diabolical leader, once rejected for mental imbalance from Team Rainbow, plans to destroy Rainbow once and for all... And it's up to Team Rainbow to save the day.

This stand-alone expansion pack (does NOT require Rogue Spear to play) has new weapons, new multiplayer maps, and new missions rounds out this latest (and probably last) expansion pack for the Rogue Spear franchise.

Rogue Spear, the sequel to Rainbow Six, is a tactical shooter that emphasize coordination and tactics. In the one-shot-you're-dead world, you have to save the hostages and take down the tangoes (terrorists) by selecting the right members, outfit them with the right tools, then execute the plan in first-person perspective.

Named for Moses Gill, the settlement was originally part of Greenfield, becoming an independent township in 1793. Gill has several historic markers for Indian Battles. One of the campuses of Northfield-Mt. Hermon School is in the Mt. Hermon section of Gill.

At Barton Cove on the Connecticut River, you can observe bald eagles. It is the best opportunity to observe bald eagles outside of Quabbin Reservoir. The state boat ramp off Route 2, just above Turner's Falls, offers the best vantage point.

WOW, thanks for all the great information on blogging. Would love to have you join us at!
What great suggestions for a newbie blogger! Thanks!
I think a lot has to do with how much a person promotes their blog. If they are out there networking via the various means of social marketing, then it's easy for people to find them and follow. In this day and age of blogging it takes a lot to get noticed (in my opinion). And it takes consistancy too.

If Evolution Really Works
I agree with everything that has been said! I'd also add that a huge focus on giveaways, UNLESS the blog is about frugality/shopping/marketing/etc. where giveaways would naturally make up the bulk of the content, turns me off. If I used to visit the blog for its content and then it changes to every post being a contest, then I eventually stop visiting the blog. I'm all for giveaways on any blog, but good writing is important, too!

The Professional Family Manager
Oh my goodness. You guys are right on the music thing. There is nothing worse than not realizing my speakers are on, surfing after my toddler has gone to sleep, and then opening a blog that blasts music at me. Trust me, if it wakes my daughter, I won't be back to that blog again! :)
