SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 22, 2014) - Today Chartio is happy to announce $2.2 million in additional funding from Avalon Ventures to accelerate growth towards profitability and deliver the most powerful and flexible solution in the cloud business intelligence space. In 2011 Chartio raised $4.4 million in a Series A round led by Avalon Ventures to drive the development of the cloud-based business intelligence offering. Since then Chartio has grown 36.4 times over, has quadrupled the number of employees and with customers such as Ancestry.com, Change.org, Indiegogo and Homejoy is fastly becoming the number one choice for cutting-edge cloud business intelligence. The additional funding will go towards hiring, driving forward additional marketing efforts and mobilizing a dedicated services team to make Chartio the number one solution in today's market.
"The data industry is the one to watch in 2014, and we believe Chartio is the most powerful, seamless and easy-to-use solution in cloud business intelligence today," said Rich Levandov, partner at Avalon Ventures. "As enterprises move even more applications to the cloud, we believe Chartio is the solution to bring data into the hands of everyday employees. We are excited to watch Chartio's success in the coming year."
In addition to today's funding news, Chartio is launching powerful new capabilities and Chartio Services to drive faster adoption of the one-of-a-kind technology at companies throughout the world.
Powerful New Capabilities: Data Blending and Custom Formulas
Chartio is excited to announce the ability to blend multiple data sources together without the hassle of ETL. Usually, teams looking to analyze data from multiple sources have to undergo a lengthy setup process, imagining every way their data may be examined and then build a warehouse from that perspective. Chartio now frees customers to begin exploring their data immediately, by providing the ability to connect databases and blend their data in-browser, at the very moment they start to create a visualization. In conjunction with blending data, Chartio is also announcing the ability to execute custom formulas on those results to make complex calculations. Although much more advanced, the process is as simple as using a calculator, revolutionizing BI by removing the costly setup time and infrastructure involved in traditional deployments.
"With the data blending and custom formula features I can now explore data on my terms. If I have a question that involves another data set, I can easily add, make calculations and see a result to chart in seconds," said Nick Ducoff, vice president of content at Boundless. "It is truly extraordinary and exhilarating to see answers to our data questions in seconds. Chartio's innovation in the space is second to none."
Chartio Services
Starting today, Chartio services is available for companies who need additional help in getting the value out of their data. Though Chartio is focused on building an intuitive, self-service tool for everyone in business, we recognize that not all teams have the time and expertise to fully investigate and utilize their data. Chartio services will provide Chartio connection assistance, dashboard creation, advanced query building, architecture consultation, education & training and priority support.
"As a new company, it's important to get it right when it comes to identifying and applying information about the way people are using your product," said Raphael Grignani, CEO and co-founder of Jauntful. "Chartio sat with us as we got our databases connected to the app, talked through our business model to help us figure out important metrics to track and helped us create the actual charts and graphs for our dashboard -- allowing us to make quick, data-driven decisions to improve Jauntful."
About Chartio
Chartio is award-winning cloud business intelligence for developers and businesses. It connects to the world's most popular data sources, allowing you to work with your data in real time, over a web browser, from any location or device. Through our powerful chart-creator interface, create great-looking dashboards that are easy to use, simple to present to your teammates, and quick to set up. Sign up for your free trial today.

Extremely easy to set up and use
You'd expect a system that keeps such a close eye over all you hold dear to be complex. You'll be surprised how easily this SVAT™ system operates. It functions just like a computer, with a mouse for pointing and clicking and an intuitive icon-based Smart Menu™ that provides prompts and coaching to assist you in navigating the system. It's even so simple to use it will begin recording as soon as it's plugged in.
Crisp and detailed video you can rely on
Your security system is only worthwhile if you can actually see the person stealing from you. SVAT™ cameras are equipped with 600 TV lines of resolution and the DVR records in D1 resolution, which is the equivalent of 720 x 480 pixels or DVD quality. The resulting clear, crisp and accurate video feed will help put the criminal away.
When everyone else is asleep, our cameras are watching closely
The things that go bump in the night are sometimes a thief making off with your big-screen TV. SVAT™ cameras are equipped with night vision that automatically activates. Thirty-six infrared ClearVu® LEDs provide crisp and detailed night imagery as you monitor from up to 100 feet away, even in complete darkness. So thieves may think they're lurking in the dark but you can rest assured SVAT™ will see them.
View your camera footage from anywhere in the world
Everyone needs a vacation to get away from it all. With SVAT™ you can enjoy yourself with peace of mind, knowing you can view your camera footage live online, anytime and anywhere. On either a PC or Mac you can use such search engines as Internet Explorer® or Safari®. You can also view footage on almost any smartphone, including iPhone®, BlackBerry®, Android™, Windows Mobile®, or Symbian™, as well as on your iPad® and most major tablets. Whether monitoring your business or home, you will always feel in control.
Two years' worth of footage storage – and more if you need it
The included 500 GB hard drive allows continuous monitoring and recording of over two years' worth of footage! Your DVR sends an alert when your memory space is full so that you can choose to overwrite old video or stop the unit from recording. The built-in USB port gives you the option of backing up and transferring your video footage with a USB flash drive or external USB hard drive. And if you need to expand your storage even further, you can choose to record only when motion is detected. This DVR uses H.264 compression which maximizes recording time, transfers data more efficiently over the internet and you'll use 50% less storage space than traditional compressions - MPEG4, MJPEG - while still benefitting from high-quality imagery.
Instant email alerts if activity detected
You will instantly know if any suspicious activity is happening on your property. This SVAT™ system is designed to send you an email alert, complete with photo, if any motion is detected on your property or if any of your cameras experience video loss. You'll always be in the know, no matter where you are.
Rain or Snow won't stop us
Criminals don't take the night off if it's raining. Neither do our cameras. They're weather resistant and ensure optimal picture quality no matter what Mother Nature decides to throw at you, be it rain, hail or snow. The professional-grade aluminum housing, complete with sunshade, will protect against rust, deterioration and glare. So no matter what's going on outside, SVAT™ will be ready.
Secure wiring can't be tampered with
Thieves know dismantling a security system is a good way to get off scot free. But they'll be disappointed with SVAT™. Each camera's cable runs through the cable mount and then directly into the wall, leaving no part of the cable exposed. Your footage will be secure.

Weekend series
There are some really great stories out there today about the Dodgers. Tim Brown wrote an awesome article about the farm system's rejuvenation and all the people who have had a hand in it, from Dan Evans, Kevin Malone, Paul DePodesta and Ned Colletti to some of the names you don't hear as much, like Terry Collins, Jon Debus, Ken Howell, Dann Bilardello, Jeff Schugel, Kim Ng and several others. And, in case you missed it last week, Tim's article on Jim Abbott is one of my favorite reads all year.
Among the other interesting reads today is Tony Jackson's article that focuses on Olmedo Saenz and Ramon Martinez, two guys that don't get nearly enough attention, in my opinion. I didn't know that Ramon had an interest in being a manager someday, much like Sandy Alomar, until I read this. Another interesting fact about Ramon that he mentioned to me on the bus the other day – his grandmother in Philadelphia is 102 years young.
Bill Plunkett writes about what it will take to win the West in his off-day feature while his colleague, Mark Whicker (who does great Jim Tracy impressions) ponders a new divisional alignment that would have the Dodgers and Angels face off 16 times a year.
In the Riverside Press Enterprise, there's a series of articles on our rookies by Allison Otto, Diamond Leung and Kevin Pearson that's definitely worth reading.
Also in the LA Times online edition, Lewis Abraham Leader gives his all-time Dodger/Angel teams for those gearing up for the Freeway Series.
It should be a great weekend for California baseball.

Looks like the Angels are about to release Jeff Weaver. He might be worth taking a flyer on for the 150,000K it would take to get him. He may be better suited for the NL.
Where is Mr. ALL CAPS now? Don't see him supporting Jeff Weaver anymore do we? Yeah, keeping Jeff Weaver would have been such a GREAT move. (Notice the sarcasm) "If the dodgers kept Jeff Weaver we could have won the World Series!"
Yeah right. What a joke.
I think that Weaver would be a reasonable choice to try and shore up our starting pitching. Had he been willing to sign a one year deal early on, we probably would have signed him for the same dollars that the Angels did. No way could he be any worse that Tomko or Odalis or even Billingsley at his seemingly premature stage in the majors. I'd even take him from the Angels with some salary relief and maybe throw in an AA type of player.
Release ODALIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just thought: hey, if we pick up Weaver, we could trade Odalis off. I then asked who we could get, and it would only be someone who is injured or someone with an equally terrible contract.
Seeing that we'd probably get, at best, Mike Hampton for him, that convinces me that acquiring Weaver for 200 grand and just releasing Odalis wouldn't be so bad.
picking up weaver for 200k isnt bad at all…he's probably more comfortable over here anyways.
and where is that mr.capslock guy? We never heard from him again…
At least weaver isnt a jerk like odalis..
RELEASE ODALIS!!!!!!!!! He's not a Dodger…to any of us.
Josh, it'd be nice to see more of the Player Perspective readings. Those are always interesting to read.
Speaking of newspaper articles, what did every happen to Kurt Ainsworth?
"The San Diego Padres announced today that Paul DePodesta, former Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, has joined the Padres as Special Assistant for Baseball Operations. DePodesta will report to CEO Sandy Alderson and will work closely with all members of the Baseball Operations Department, including Executive Vice President/General Manager Kevin Towers. DePodesta is scheduled to join the Padres on July 13.
"Paul has one of the most insightful and creative minds in baseball," said Alderson. "He will be a great resource for Kevin Towers, the entire Baseball Operations Department, and me. Paul is a terrific addition to an already outstanding front office staff."
– Oh great, just great.
Hey Odalis for Weaver, what harm could it do ?? Now wouldn't that be a game, Weaver in Blue and Odalis in Red on Sunday !!
Go Dodgers !!
It should be a great weekend for California baseball.
There ya go Josh, you jinxed it. Expect at least one of the following by August, and probably both:
1) Mike Piazza for Cody Ross
2) Dave Roberts for Hee Seop Choi
With DePodesta with the Padres, even if he's not the GM, maybe we can convince him to take Odalis. After all, his BABIP is just taking a hit, and he'll be better in the second half. And DePodesta signed Perez to this stupid deal anyway, so he probably really does think he's good.
1) Mike Piazza for Cody Ross
2) Dave Roberts for Hee Seop Choi
– Only problem is the teams with Ross and Choi would probably reject those offers. 🙂
According to Sports Illustrated, Jeff Weaver has been dsignated for assignment to AAA. The price might be right if a high end prospect isn't the price. What's to lose? I don't quite understand how an inning eater all of a sudden bottoms out at his age. Maybe he is meant to be a Dodger. Ned Colletti on Dodger thoughts is quoted as being willing to wait until 2007, 2008, 2009 for the young Dodgers to mature and give the team a chance to compete each year for several years. Expressed a reluctance to trade them. Stick with that plan Ned. We're with you.
Weaver has been designated, but he cannot be sent to AAA. The Angels must trade him in 10 days or he becomes a free agent. Either way, they have eaten his salary. If LA doesn't get him, I would not be surprised if Pittsburgh did. Maybe a reunion with Colborn is what he needs to get back in synch.
I guess it doesn't pay to be the older brother on an Angel team !! First Bengie now Jeff !!
I was glade to see Jeff go for what he was asking, but now that he's cheap, and I would think a little more humble, we have very little to lose. I would rather see Jeff in Dodger Blue then Odalis any day !!
Go Dodgers !!!
Furcal, Lofton*, Nomar, Kent, Drew, Martin, Kemp, Ethier, Izzy
That would be my call of the moment. What is the lineup actually?
Let's keep this in mind when thinking about Weaver. He had gone to the American league, and considering the inter-league play this year and the two recent World Series sweeps by American League clubs, there can be little doubt that at this point in time the American League plays a lot tougher. Look at how our own best pitchers and some of the other National League pitching standouts, including Martinez just yesterday, have been bombed by the American League hitters. There is a good possibility that Weaver would do better in the National League, and that offers good hope for our acquisition from Tampa Bay earlier this week as well. In any case, I hope we're ready to turn it around starting with this weekend. GO DODGERS!
i wonder if there is another trade in the works? Normally the lineup is posted by now.
I like the lineup Patriotacts !!
Go Dodgers
yeah it is where is the lineup?
It is amazing that Josh gets the lineup posted each day. I am sure there are a number of reasons that it might not get posted at the usual time. In the meantime it gives the guys at home the opportunity to project possible lineups.
Hoping for a good game tonight.
Yeah, hopefully Josh's computer didn't break down again.
Josh, I was not trying to put pressure. It just seems with Jeff Weaver being designated today and the Dodgers and Angels playing each other that maybe somehting's up
Lets go boys!!! The more I read, the more I like the Hendrickson trade, Weaver- would be an upgrade. Im one Dodger fan who wants to see the club do well in the future- with the young guys, but this division is ripe for the taking right now, and you never know when that will be the case again, and what the future wil bring. Lets win it this year. Once you make the playoffs- anything can happen!
furcal,lofton,garciaparra,drew,kent,ethier,kemp,izturis,martin pretty good lineup.
Each team has their ace on the mound and their Izturis at third base.
The Angels' Aybar is still there, though.
Go Dodgers! Beat Anaheim!
Dodgers play aces high, Angels play aces low.
Did I miss a roster move?? When the Dodgers put Hall on the roster WHO was moved?? Help??
jglass – Tomko hit the DL with a strained oblique.
thanks patriot.
Ethier needs to play everyday, no matter whether its a righty tossing or a lefty…
I agree with gban, Grady needs to play Ethier agianst lefties more often. Once this guy gets on a roll just let him go.
Dodger Rookie of the Year:
"And out comes Aybar, no here comes Ethier, and out of nowhere comes Kemp, wait, Martin has been steadily moving his way up, now Kemp, now Ethier . . ."
Wow short term memories still prosist…. Does anyone remember the Weaver meltdowns and the way Weaver found ways to lose games? I was really glad to see him go. He was like a special child who could glisten for a moment and then in a heartbeat turn into Damion on the mound with fire and brimstone coming off the bats.We Got Him from the yanks because he can't hang with the pressure and he proved it soo many times. Getting Weaver at any price would be a horrible mistake even if we moved perez in the deal Weaver is of the same mold as in fungus.Went either of them are good they kick butt but they both have stinky butts right at the moment. Angels were contenders before weaver now they are less then pretenders. Weaver is NOT the answer.
I still say its ok to give a little farm away for a kick butt Pitch especially a Josh Johnson Rokie 7-4 now 7-2 as a starter to the fish who are now on a tear but 10.5 games back in second. Loney carter and ledee plus 2 mil for him and a player to be named or not.Go Blue Show Anahiem who the LA tean is!!!!!!!!

The cost of hosting 25 petabytes of data belonging to MegaUpload's users is too much for Carpathia Hosting to support on its own.
Carpathia said in court filings on Tuesday that the company is dedicating 1,100 servers and spending $9,000 a day to maintain MegaUpload's files and needs someone to either fork over some money or allow the company to delete the information, according to a report by the Associated Press.
The data was frozen by the U.S. Department of Justice after issuing an indictment against MegaUpload's operators, including founder Kim DotCom in January. The Justice Department wants to bring DotCom to the United States to stand trial on charges of criminal copyright violations, wire fraud, and racketeering.
Carpathia, which has asked for a hearing to decide what should be done with the data, made a fortune from providing hosting services to MegaUpload's cyberlocker business but now says the cost of maintaining the information has topped $500,000 and is growing every day. Carpathia might have deleted the data a few weeks after DotCom's arrest for nonpayment but the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a technology advocacy group, worked out a deal that bought some time for the files.
According to a copy of the motion Carpathia filed with U.S. District Court in Virginia, the Motion Picture Association of America also wants the data preserved for a potential civil suit against MegaUpload and company leaders. The MPAA and the U.S. government object returning the information to MegaUpload, despite a suggestion that the company needs it to defend itself.
The MPAA said in a statement that it "demanded that Carpathia preserve certain data for possible use in potential civil claims by its member studios against the operators of Megaupload, as well as those intermediaries who contributed to the massive infringement that occurred through Megaupload. We are reviewing Carpathia's recent court filing and will respond as appropriate."
Word of Carpathia's financial struggles comes as a New Zealand court boosted DotCom's monthly living expenses to the equivalent of $48,500 in U.S. currency. The judge there also granted him use of his Mercedes.
The government has asked Carpathia to secure MegaUpload's information until it can decide what should be done with it. All the parties, including EFF, MegaUpload's attorneys and the MPAA continue to negotiate about how to proceed, according to court records.

NSU-COM's Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine Aims to Ease Suffering
In February, Nova Southeastern University College of Osteopathic Medicine (NSU-COM) held a grand opening ceremony for its Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine. Celebrants gathered to salute the first-of-its-kind facility that will treat patients with conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) and Gulf War Illness (GWI), as well as conduct basic and clinical research under one roof in this field.
The Institute is the only one in the nation to study neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders that include CFS/ME, GWI, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and other illnesses using the newest genomic techniques. By studying individual genes and what they code for, the Institute's scientists will better understand the symptoms and causes, as well as point to new ways to treat these complex disorders.
The idea is to challenge the patient with something such as exercise and measure which genes turn on or off to better understand the cause of relapse and the persistence of illness. The analysis seeks points of intervention to treat the patient. This important basic research will provide answers that will help scientists develop new pharmaceutical medications to treat these illnesses.
Dr. Nancy Klimas, director NSU-COM's Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine and chair of Clinical Immunology at Nova Southeastern University, examines a female patient.
Leading this innovative team is Nancy Klimas, M.D., who has achieved international recognition for her research and clinical efforts in complex medical disorders that are the focus of the Institute. She is a highly regarded authority who has served as a past president of the International Association for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Myalgic Encephalopathy (IACFS/ME)—a professional organization of clinicians and investigators—and a member of the Department of Health and Human Services CFS Advisory Committee.
"The Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine, strategically placed at NSU-COM, will bring together great minds in the field of neuro-immune disorders under one umbrella," Dr. Klimas said. "It will be a place to coordinate cutting-edge thinking and research, train new practitioners, and offer the highest quality clinical care for a hugely underserved population. I am thrilled to partner with NSU-COM in this giant step forward in the field of CFS/ME care and research."
An expert in immune disorders, Dr. Klimas will treat patients at two sites: the institute on the main campus in Davie and at the existing Chronic Fatigue Center in Kendall, where Dr. Klimas is the director. The new $5 million institute, which houses research laboratories, a patient clinic, a clinical research unit, faculty offices, and conference facilities, is designed to bring together multiple core medical and scientific disciplines in one place. This includes clinicians, educators, and researchers in the areas of genomics, virology, immunology, cellular biology, computational biology, and therapeutic modeling.
For instance, researchers can study the way a patient's genes react during exercise while experiencing chronic fatigue syndrome and plug that data into a computer model to calculate the ways this reaction could be blocked off. The computer would then run through all the pre-approved therapies and see whether any of them have that desired effect. This is "a novel treatment with strategies that are not yet modeled," Dr. Klimas said. The NSU-COM clinics in Davie and Kendall accommodate around 1,200 patients from South Florida, throughout the nation, and around the world.
In addition to discovering treatments, the Institute works diligently to obtain financial support. Dr. Klimas recently received an invitation to write a research project with the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This prestigious request builds on the support of the three grants the Institute already has with the NIH. A third supporter—the U.S. Department of Defense—has awarded three grants, including a $4 million honor with the Miami VA Medical Center on Gulf War Illness research.
As the Institute's research progresses, Dr. Klimas hopes to attract investors to support the groundbreaking work of her diverse and skilled team. Along with her team, Dr. Klimas is enabled, respected, and ready to make a significant interprofessional contribution toward advancing knowledge about neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders.

Galileo gets the go-ahead
The European Space Agency warmly welcomes the decision taken today by the European Union Transport Ministers, meeting in Brussels.
Galileo has now been given the official go-ahead but for ESA that simply means that work on Galileo can continue! ESA teams have already been working for a number of years on satellite navigation systems, including the development of critical technologies such as atomic clocks and signal generators.
Developed by ESA in collaboration with the European Union and co-funded by the two organisations on a 50-50 basis, Galileo is a complete civil system, designed to be operational from 2008 and to provide the world in general and Europeans in particular with an accurate, secure and certified satellite positioning system.
There are many potential applications in road, rail, air and maritime traffic control, synchronisation of data transmission between banks, etc., and the economic implications for the coming 15 years are tremendous, with an estimated 4.6 return on investment and the creation of more than 100 000 jobs.
Satellite navigation undoubtedly represents a real technological revolution comparable, some say, to the invention of the timepiece!
Once, we needed to know the time. Now, we need to know the time and also where we are.
So Galileo will be of vital importance to ordinary men and women both in Europe and throughout the world because at present everything depends on the GPS set up and controlled by the US military. Galileo will be in commercial competition with the GPS but will also complement it and provide redundancy. The result will be a continuity of service that could not be achieved by a single system.
The go-ahead for Galileo is particularly important for European industry, which will now be able to develop the advanced technologies required not only for the purposes of the satellite network and its ground support system but also for the numerous applications associated with it.
ESA was able to start work on applications several years ago, thanks to the European Global Navigation Overlay Service EGNOS, which refines current GPS data and foreshadows the services Galileo will provide.
"Galileo marks an important step for Space Europe", said ESA Director General Antonio Rodotá, "because it is the first time a project has been conducted jointly by the European Space Agency and the European Union". It is also the first time the European Union has set up a joint undertaking. The partnership, comprising the European Commission and ESA, will have overall responsibility for the development and validation phase and the preparations for deployment and operations.
It is thus a great step forward for space activities and for Europe, a step that will bring benefits to people all over the world.
The Galileo system will consist of 30 satellites (27 in operation and 3 in reserve), deployed in three circular Medium Earth Orbits at an altitude of 23 616 km and an inclination of 56° to the equator. This will provide excellent coverage of the planet. Two Galileo Control Centres will be set up in Europe to monitor the operation of the satellites and manage the navigation system.

What our clients say about us?
Reviews and comments from our satisfied customers
Check's is hands down the best auto shop in town! The owner is always friendly, knowledgeable and honest. His staff reflect these values, and it shows in their work. I am always happy to do business with them and have never had a bad experience! I get my oil changed, tires mounted/balanced, exhaust work and other repairs done here on both foreign and domestic cars. Highly recommended!!!
Fair price, quick turn around and very friendly service. I highly recommend this place.
Helped me out forty years ago when I moved back to town; over the years and again last week. All times for a fair price, quick turn around, and a bit of ever changing cheesy poetry on the marquee on the way out, gotta smile. Give 'em a try... and check out the wall art inside of vintage service scenes.
I've been going to Check's Muffler Center for over 20 years and the service has always been outstanding. They have been honest with all the recommended service work. All of the employees are friendly.
I came to Stevens Point over 25 years ago and looked for a garage to take my car to. It has been Check's Muffler Center for every repair since. My "Want" list is short, quality service with honest technicians. I have never had any reason to question the work performed on my vehicles. Greg or any of the technicians have always taken the time to answer my questions completely in a way I could understand. I will continue to appreciate the benefits of the top notch quality service provided at Check's.
I have always had the best experiences with Check's Muffler Center, going on 25 years now. They are always my first choice and have never let me down. They do things professionally and economically, telling me what has to be done now and what can safely wait. I recommend them without hesitation.
I Love Greg, Debbie and the crew. What a great bunch of service personnel. Timely and happy to reference out work they do not handle (helped me get a glass guy for windshield) and willing to locate and take care of items I need for the near future. Love em!
Check's is the best. We've been going there for years, and are always happy with their work and customer service.
I just had some basic work done here today. Check's was very inviting when I spoke with them on the phone, and that friendliness continued into the shop itself. They were very busy, but the engineers were quick to get work done. I asked them to check the brakes, and they offered that complimentary. Afterwards, they gave me clear options with reasonable prices--even going so far as to tell me what it would cost if they couldn't salvage parts of the vehicle, but reassuring me that they would do whatever they could to make it work for me. I would definitely get service from them again!
My son broke down while in Stevens Point. These people were very busy but able to work him in quickly. They determined it was a defective part that was installed back home. But being a NAPA Autocare center they were able to warranty the part through the nationwide warranty Peace of Mind and get my son back on the road. He said they were very pleasant and had a clean shop. Thank you Check's.

For Release Worldwide: September 2012
Release Number: 325PR12
Caterpillar has designed, fabricated and constructed the largest hydraulic mining shovel ever built. The new Cat® 6120B H FS significantly exceeds the size of the Cat 6090 FS to deliver highly productive three- or four-pass loading of ultra-class mining trucks. Innovative hybrid technologies cut fuel use per ton by an estimated 25 percent—through the use of hydra-electric regenerative technologies and a unique energy storage system.
Caterpillar designed the 6120B H FS to be the most productive and efficient ultra-class hydraulic shovel available. An operating weight of approximately 1,400 tons (1270 tons) and engine output of about 4,500 hp (3360 kW) enable the shovel to efficiently handle dipper sizes of 60 to 85 cubic yards (46 to 65 cubic meters), depending on material density.
The energy management system makes use of large capacitors to store energy created by the shovel during swing deceleration and boom-down movements. That stored energy then helps power the hydraulic system when the machine requires peak power, such as during the digging portion of the cycle. The hybrid technology features long-life components and design for ease of service, as do other systems within the shovel. Isolated, modular systems within the 6120B H FS offer easy access and enhanced serviceability.
The new hydraulic shovel will fill the need for a safe, cost-efficient and highly mobile ultra-class shovel for short-term mining operations, non-electrified sites and areas where the power grid has limitations, and greenfield developments. The hydraulic shovel also has selective digging capabilities that rope shovels do not, as hydraulics enable applying strong bucket forces through a wide range of heights. The proven Tri Power linkage technology enhances digging capabilities of the 6120B H FS. Similarly, the new shovel makes best use of proven Cat shovel features, such as the ergonomically designed, state-of-the-art shovel cab.
The 6120B H FS prototype was constructed at the Caterpillar manufacturing facility in South Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, where, after rigorous testing and field trials, future 6120B shovels will be manufactured to fulfill commercial sales. More information about the 6120B H FS will be announced as development progresses.

If you're interested in feedback, I'd say that the toilet, because of the way it is shaded, doesn't look like part of its surroundings -- it looks pasted in. If the toilet's lighting, shading, and reflections better matched its environment I think it would be a stronger piece._________________Art Links Archive -- Artists and Tutorials Back to top W.K.Tightjunior memberMember #Joined: 25 Jul 2013Posts: 3Location: Finland Posted: Thu Jul 25, 2013 10:09 pm Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.

Back to top TinuschmemberMember #Joined: 25 Dec 1999Posts: 2757Location: Rhode Island, USA Posted: Sun Jul 28, 2013 10:21 am What seems a bit off for me is the flatness of the backdrop - the trees seem to form a solid wall rather than appear to fade back into the distance. The values are a bit muddled where you could broaden your palette a bit back there to push the depth, make it feel like there's endless forest beyond this row of trees. That extra dimension would really give this piece some room to breathe. I came up with this painting by Edward Mitchell Bannister that illustrates what I mean: A different vibe than you're aiming for I'm sure, but it's an interesting study into how he achieved such a tangible sense of depth and space. Just my own personal suggestion, you've got a great looking piece in the works here. Just needs a little more depth to make it really pop.

Destiny of an Emperor 2.0 v. 1.1
Download Version 1.1
Official Home Page: Destiny of an Emperor 2.0
Playing and Testing This Release
Welcome to the first major revision of Destiny of an Emperor 2.0. The planned adjustments have been made across the whole game and steps have been taken to improve game balance and enjoyability. Still, if you are interested, feedback about your experience form start to finish of the game would be highly appreciated. If an area is too easy or too hard, please tell me about it. Can you think of any additional measures that might be taken to improve the experience? Please share them! I'm planning to make one more final revision once I've had enough feedback from people.
Release Notes
Destiny of an Emperor 2.0 version 1.1 features major changes across the game. We break from the traditional Destiny of an Emperor platform by adjusting the role played by weapons, tactics, and officers. Your party now has access to more powerful allies (especially later in the game), a greater variety in tacticians for new battle strategies and cheaper access to the most powerful damage tactics. On the other hand, level progression has been altered to restore game balance. Due to this, enemy armor and soldier levels have been dropped in many areas, making battle less chaotic. For a more detailed list of what has been changed see below. Oh, and let's not forget some new surprises, and, now truly a part of the game, Wang the Tiger!
- Weapon Attack Power Adjustments
- Tactics Learned and Stored Differently
- More Than Two End-of-Game Tactic Strategies
- Greater Differences Between Strategists
- A Greater Assortment of End-Game Allies
- Tactic Costs Adjusted (Fire and Water Tactics More Accessible)
- New Enemies, New Battle Surprises!
- Level Progression Adjustments
- Enemy Soldier and AC Adjustments
- New Game Balance Adjustments and Challenges
- Wang the Tiger!

Sima Yi: Final Battle
Random Encounter
I've decided to do it from the end to the beginning, making each battle harder or more interesting in some way. I've taken out many fake officers (though the likes of Song Yong, Song Ren, Yang Jin, Huo Hu; they'll never be removed) or useless officers and replaced them with other interesting characters from history. So far, I've managed to do it without abbreviating any times, though sometimes that involves shuffling more than a few officers around in a stage.
I'm also going to include plenty of goodies!
How many people have played Destiny of an Emperor? How many would be interested in changing anything they encountered in the game? This is everyone's chance to contribute thoughts on the matter as I'm basically going to try to make this as fun as possible for any who are up to the challenge.

This contemporary map of Europe depicts current boundaries. When early peoples came to the islands area during the beginning of recorded history, the boundaries of countries shown were much different, if there were any boundaries at all. Boundaries seemed to be set up between competing tribes, lines which tended to fluctuate one way or the other or completely disappear, depending upon which tribe was the stronger.
I'll try to locate an ancient map which will depict boundaries six thousand years ago.
In order of their appearance in written history, Early settlers to the islands were Firbolgs of debated European extraction, with some opinions they came from the Middle East or around Greece; Milisians who ostensibly came from Spain; Celts who came from Gaul, now called Normandy; Anglo-Saxons from Normandy and Germany; Romans who came from Rome, now Italy, who ostensibly brought Catholicism to the UK; Vikings first from Denmark then from Norway, Barbarians who came to conquer and plunder; and last the Normans who were purportedly descended from Vikings who settled old Gaul, became Christians and learned to speak French.
So to cut to the chase, they were mostly Vikings and Celts, even the ones from Spain.
Those early peoples seem to have arrived in the UK between 7500 BC and 1200 AD and spread out to settle Ireland, Wales, Scotland, England, and the outer islands.
People who emigrated to the islands since 1100 AD were generally of all faiths and of many races who mainly came for peaceful purposes to trade, or in a few cases, to settle and farm. After the Normans, no other countries besides Spain and Germany ever tried to conquer the Emerald Isles.

UnNews:Spontaneous violence spreads to Kazakh embassy
This article is part of UnNews, your source for up-to-the-microsecond misinformation.
17 September 2012
KAZANA, Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan -- The street violence that has spontaneously overtaken American embassies throughout Arabia has now spread to Kazakhstan, and U.S. diplomatic officials are again blaming American cinema.
U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice noted at a press availability that it is almost six years to the day that the movie Borat was released. That documentary took a dim view of Kazakhstan. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has called the movie the single biggest obstacle to U.S. foreign diplomacy during her tenure.
In the movie, actor Sacha Baron Cohen (pictured) portrays a Kazakh citizen visiting the United States. Fellow Kazakhs are portrayed as rapists and prostitutes. Worst of all, Cohen engages in a round of totally nude Greco-Roman wrestling with a confederate possessing a fat, hairy body, in the notorious "hotel-room scene" that aroused outrage in the American gay community.
The real Kazakhstan is a former Soviet satellite somewhere in the vicinity of Afghanistan, though it is rarely visited by Americans, because once stationed in the latter, one does not spend one's weekend leaves even further out in the sticks. Secretary Rice noted that the movie Borat hardly does the nation justice. The Afghanis in the movie actually speak other languages, from Yiddish to Klingon, and just pretend to be communicating. Further, there are few prostitutes in the actual country, and they mostly offer the client unreasonable terms.
Secretary Rice had no explanation for why a movie would incite mass violence nearly six years later, but stated that that argued for the view that the mayhem, from crowds carrying AK-47s and shoulder-fired missile-launchers and again chanting anti-Romney slogans in perfect English, was spontaneous and unorganized.
U.S. President Barack Obama has promised to apologize in person to Afghanis for American creative expression. However, the White House has not yet worked an apology trip to Kazana into the President's busy campaign schedule of domestic apologies. Mrs. Clinton has not volunteered to stand in for the President, reportedly out of fear of being abducted and tethered to a plow.

Acquia, the commercial enterprise company behind the Drupal open source content management platform, has announced several web developer-focused additions to its Acquia Network knowledge base.
The latest enhancements are designed to complement Acquia Cloud (the Drupal-optimized hosting resource for developers) and are said to empower subscribers with self-guided training on Drupal concepts and best practices; site testing under a variety of traffic load conditions; an Internet marketing report specific to Drupal; and enhanced vision and proactive management of site configuration issues.
New offerings include "Insight", a tool to provide dynamic metrics for a wide variety of website elements to identify and troubleshoot problems in real time via an audits modules that analyzes code changes and offers fixes when needed.
Also included is "Drupalize.Me", an extensive library of tutorial videos that speed the acquisition of key Drupal skills. Alongside this new element, "Blitz" is a self-service load and performance-testing platform that enables web developers to deploy high-performance websites with the ability to easily integrate an iterative load-testing process into the development cycle.
In addition, Acquia is announcing the availability of the Acquia Apps Market in Q4, 2011, utilizing the Acquia Network API. The Acquia Apps Market allows software vendors and developers to offer their services and applications to the more than 50,000 Drupal websites served by the Acquia Network. The Acquia Apps Market includes a store where Drupal users will be able to purchase applications developed by third parties.
"Acquia has the broadest set of relationships with organizations that provide software, tools, and education for Drupal, and I'm pleased that we continue to strengthen the Acquia Network with these resources," said Peter Guagenti, vice president of Services at Acquia.
Ajit Sancheti, cofounder of Mu Dynamics, the company behind Blitz, praised the move. "Being integrated into the Acquia Network is further proof of the validity of Blitz for developers in need of performance testing. Acquia's platform offers users a powerful set of capabilities to build websites. When combined with Blitz, application developers get the ease and flexibility needed to integrate performance testing into continuous integration without the addition of significant cost, time, or complexity."

I'm pretty sure I mentioned an upcoming neurologist appointment in the past couple of weeks. That meeting went well and it appears that I still have MS (dang, and I was hoping…).
My doctor and I spoke of all the things one speaks of in the exam room and then in his office, we started chatting about research. My guy is a respected investigator in the research field and I always learn from him during these meetings. He told me of a couple of studies for which he is recruiting and I thought, "What the hell?"
I got all the paperwork and had a couple of interviews with research staff. There were two studies, one stage III, one stage II which interested me. Both are investigating oral MS therapy; yes, the MS pill!
I was pretty psyched about the idea, but I am no longer alone when it comes to making these decisions. I packed up my papers and headed home for some heavy reading and a talk with Caryn and the girls (although since our girls are dogs, I figured they'd go along with whatever resolve we chose).
We pored over the documents worded to give full informed consent.
Ironically, my copy of Multiple Sclerosis Quarterly Report from NARCMS had arrived that day as well. I saw, in that publication, another 20-odd studies taking place around the country; my two choices were listed right up front.
We finally came to our conclusion. I would enroll in the 24-month, Stage III study of FTY720, also known as Fingolimod. It is not an easy task; deciding to be a human Guinea Pig for the cause. I have been a subject in a number of studies, some drug related, some not. The commitment of time can be substantial and sometimes, it's not all that comfortable (one urologic study using electrodes and large needles comes to mind).
Sometimes, I kind of have to talk myself into these things. But now that I'm no longer single, I had to convince someone else of the expected benefit of these actions. The process took several hours and then we slept on it.
The next day, I took a call from one of the researchers with whom I had met the previous day. After looking at my charts, they determined that I was ineligible for both of the studies I had been considering. My December treatment with Novantrone would be in my system too long. My evening of deliberation was for naught.
I write this posting to let others know of the studies recruiting now, to shed light on the process and to thank those in the MS community who are offering themselves up as test subjects for the betterment of our community.
My heroes are the ones who do get to test drug treatments and other therapies to help us all live better lives with our MS.
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

Produce carts are common enough that they no longer garner much attention, especially around farmers markets. Aside from running them over during high-speed chase scenes, it seems easy to forget about them altogether. So one design firm redesigned the ubiquitous cart, adding pedals and a folding system of trays that can haul up to 150 pounds of fruit and vegetables.
The result was the Mattapan Mobile Farmstand, from Boston-based nonprofit design collaborative Building Research + Architecture + Community Exchange. BR+A+CE (pronounced "brace") designed and built the human-powered mobile farm stand as the first project in support of its mission to create new community spaces that engage social, economic, and cultural issues.
BR+A+CE is a group of designers, engineers, students and fabricators cofounded by architect and Rhode Island School of Design professor Hansy Better Barraza.
"With design, it has to look good and it has to perform well," said Barraza. "The only way to really do that is to ... be interdisciplinary — have everyone at the design table."
Pedal-powered, cargo-carrying tricycles are increasingly popular in hip neighborhoods in European and North American cities, and have been widely used in Asia for decades. BR+A+CE designed their own version on a large-framed tricycle with a unique cargo box that contains four bays on two levels, each of which holds two produce bins for a total of eight.
The mobile farm stand is a Transformer for the eco-conscious. When it comes to a stop on its route, the rider unlocks the two cargo box lids and pulls up on the back edges of the top bays, which swing upright to display their contents and give access to the lower bays. The lids are angled over the upright bays, and the front and back bays open in opposite directions, giving the impression of offset wings and making it easier for shoppers to crowd around. Fully loaded, the rig weighs about 500 pounds.
"The whole idea of unfolding is to provide shelter," said Barraza. "It provides shade like a typical conventional farm stand."
"In Barranquilla [Colombia] they still use mules to carry vegetables and fruits – very fresh – to one's front door," said Barraza, who was born there.
The mobile farm stand operates in the Mattapan neighborhood of Boston, which is heavily populated by Caribbean immigrants. Many area residents grew up buying produce that was sold from farm carts. The project organizers were conscious of the cultural link the community has to the concept of a mobile farm stand, said Barraza.
BR+A+CE aims to collaborate with community groups on projects that are sensitive and sustainable, said Barraza. The mobile farm stand project is in collaboration with the Mattapan Food and Fitness Coalition and nearby organic grower Brookwood Community Farm. Initial funding for the project came from an Indiegogo campaign.
The City of Boston ponied up a $4,500 matching grant to the Mattapan Food and Fitness Coalition to operate and maintain the mobile farm stand and train the young riders who put the human in human-powered. The grant is part of a vigorous city campaign to promote fitness and nutrition to fight obesity and diabetes.
The stand made its debut on a sunny Saturday last month at a farmers market in Mattapan. Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, who made national headlines this summer when he took a swipe at a homophobic fast food chain, cut a ceremonial ribbon on the mobile farm stand.
While the stand's initial six-week season wrapping up last Saturday, the coalition plans to expand the number of stops next season and possibly also the number of days it operates each week, a premise made easier by the eight new riders trained this season. They also plan to add a second mobile farm stand if more money comes through.
Barraza hopes the city will build on the project's initial success and fund mobile farm stands in other neighborhoods, she said, citing New York City's $1.5 million Green Cart program, which brings a produce-selling variant of the city's ubiquitous push carts to low-income neighborhoods.
Who knows — perhaps the famous Boston-New York rivalry will take on a green hue.

This attractive physical map of the Pacific Ocean floor appeared in the June 1992 issue of National Geographic. It contains an article entitled "Deep-Sea Vents: Worlds Without Sun" and additional information on the life forms that thrive in the deepest waters of the Pacific. The map's detail of such submarine terrain as fracture zones, troughs, trenches, and the countless seamounts is stunning. A wonderful companion to the ocean floor map of the Indian Ocean which appeared in the same issue.

Industry Leaders to Collaborate on Linux Mobile Computing Platform
CAMBRIDGE, UK, - Oct. 3, 2007 - To address the rise in consumer demand for access to the Internet and advanced applications on larger display mobile devices, ARM and six companies today announced a collaboration that will result in the development of a Linux-based open source platform for next-generation mobile applications. The collaboration, announced at the fourth annual ARM® Developers' Conference being held this week in Santa Clara, California, builds on the ARM architecture and its rich ecosystem of Partners to deliver a standards-base platform based on Linux. This group of companies are all working to accelerate the enablement of truly always on, connected mobile computing (CMC) devices.
The new platform will be released into the open source community and will be naturally adopted by ARM's large ecosystem of software and silicon vendors, including Marvell, MontaVista, Movial, Mozilla, Samsung, and Texas Instruments.
This effort between ARM and its Partners focuses on the development of an open source platform based on Linux, Gnome Mobile and Mozilla Firefox that runs on ARM Partners' advanced systems on chip (SoCs). The collaboration strengthens ARM's well-established OS and browser ecosystem, while leveraging the ability of ARM Partners to quickly bring products and technologies with compelling graphics, video, multimedia and internet capabilities to consumers.
Time-to-market is critical, competition is fierce and consumers' expectation for an always on Internet experience on mobile devices continues to increase. This group addresses the technology challenges and time-to-market requirements that are essential in the development of differentiated Connected Mobile Computing (CMC) devices including but not limited to battery life, software integration and Web browsing capabilities.
"Today's consumers are very knowledgeable about technology, want to be connected to the Internet and access multimedia content and applications anywhere, at anytime, yet they do not want to be restricted by short battery life and inadequate features that will limit their experiences," said Mike Inglis, executive vice president, Sales and Marketing, ARM. "By stepping up the collaboration among key stakeholders in the mobile market, we will be able to jointly deliver the devices and applications with the cutting-edge innovation consumers have come to expect."
"The market for ultra mobile devices is expected to grow at over a 20 percent compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) through the next decade driven by new communications standards, content rich data provided over the Internet, new usage models, and new business models," commented Jim McGregor, research director, Enabling Technologies Group, In-Stat. "A critical component of success in this market will be building on industry standards that promote innovation in silicon, systems, and most importantly, software solutions. Through open standards and growing industry support, Linux naturally promotes such innovation."
About ARM
"Marvell is a longtime ARM Partner, committed to enabling the ARM instruction set architecture for high-end, portable Linux-based devices," said Sam Arditi, senior vice president and general manager, Cellular and Handheld Business Group, Marvell. "Marvell's architecture license of the ARMv5, v6 and v7 instruction sets has allowed us to deliver hundreds of millions of custom microprocessors to our customers that can be found in a vast variety of products including storage devices, WLAN, smartphones, and other communications/networking devices."
"Millions of ARM and MontaVista technology-based mobile devices are in use around the world every day, showing that ARM is with us at the forefront of advances in connected mobile devices," said Jim Ready, CTO and founder of MontaVista Software, Inc. "We are excited to apply what we have learned from deploying our commercial-quality, field-proven MontaVista Mobilinux 5.0 operating system—which supports ARM processors—to help the formation of the Linux Mobile Computing Platform."
"We are pleased that ARM is building on our open technology to deliver the complete Web experience on new types of devices," said Mike Shaver, chief evangelist, Mozilla. "Making an open source, standards-based platform available for mobile devices will spur innovation and enhance access to the Internet for millions of people."
"Movial is delighted to support ARM's significant push to improve the mobile Internet experience through the development of a standards-based open source platform for next-generation mobile applications," said Tomi Rauste, president, Movial Creative Technologies Inc. "Device manufacturers now have a highly-maintainable software platform with which they can easily create new products, speeding time-to-market and the ability to deliver on consumer expectations."
"Samsung intends to offer the industry's most advanced mobile platform devices to enable a truly mobile internet experience with seamless connectivity to life-enhancing services for consumers," said Yiwan Wong, VP of Marketing, System LSI Division, Semiconductor Business, Samsung Electronics. "An important step in the creation of this mobile platform is to make common software frameworks available that facilitate third-party software developers to deliver value-added applications for future mobile computing devices. Samsung is, therefore, excited about, and supportive of, the development of the Linux Mobile Computing Platform.
"The emergence of a new class of web-centric mobile devices is inevitable. With the OMAP3430 processor, we support solutions with PC-like performance coupled with low-power multimedia engines and the connectivity capabilities of a Smartphone," said Avner Goren, Texas Instruments. "The Linux Mobile Computing Platform provides a software framework that is easily leveraged by both device manufacturers and our rich ecosystem of application developers. Our support of this partnership will help to bring these new devices to the market more quickly and accelerate the creation of exciting new applications and services."

Check, Please!
Every so often you hear how this is "such and such" week, or "National doo-dah Day", as it seems that just about every occupation, cause or whatchmacallit has a special observance all of its own.
Some are very well known, traditional observances, such as May being Beef Month and June being Dairy Month. There is a Hamburger Month, which I was introduced to a year ago.
Actually, I found out the other day that January is National "Be Kind to Food Servers Month," which, according to organizers, is "a time to recognize and show your appreciation for the hard work and contributions of people who help make our dining experience more enjoyable."
So let's look at this most noble profession Food Servers.
The first thing you need to appreciate about this is really very simple you be nice to the food server, and your food doesn't end up on the floor or in your lap.
Actually, the first reason to be nice to a food service is the old Golden Rule do unto others as you would have done to you. In other words, they're people just like you and me, so be nice.
The second reason, which usually gets lost in the shuffle, is a little more direct. The typical food server is not pulling down $30-$40,000 a year in salary unless the food service gig is something to while away their off-hours. Nearly every food server is working for less-than-minimum wage, or very close to it. Usually, they receive an hourly salary, and tips, which in many cases, they have to report to their employer. Sometimes, tips are thrown in a pot and everyone on the serving staff gets an equal cut, whether they worked hard or not. See, employers figure if the server gets a tip, the tip makes up for the lower rate of pay.
The expectation, of course, is that tips will make up the difference in their wages so they reach at least minimum wage. At least that's how it works in theory.
So, the server does their best to make your dining experience pleasant, in the hopes that you'll reward them with a gratuity, i.e. tip, when you get your bill.
Now, how much should the gratuity be? Currently, standards for tipping are at about 18 percent of the total bill. For the sake of simplification, go with 20 percent.
Here's your math lesson for today. You dine out on the deluxe chilidog with extra onions with a big orange drink and onion rings total bill, $10. At 18 percent, you should leave $1,80 for your server, or if you're really a nice guy or gal, you leave $2 on the table.
But the idea of being nice to the server isn't all about a tip it also deals with a little compassion and understanding on your part.
It's so easy to go to dine at a restaurant and settle into a foul mood if you don't get immediate if not sooner attention from the serving staff. When an establishment is busy, the servers have to work in a priority mode. In many cases, the server may have to clear the table, re-set it for the next guests, seat the guests, take a drink order, leave menus, offer suggestions, and then run and bring back the beverage order and take the order. When the order is taken, it goes to the kitchen where the kitchen staff takes over. Once the meal is prepared, the server has to bring it to the table, attend to any extra requests, steak sauces, etc, top off drinks, and then repeat the same process for another 10 or 15 tables.
So maybe you have to wait five minutes for that refill of water. Perhaps it takes that server a little longer to bring your check to the table. Don't sweat it if it does. If you have the inclination to dine out and you want a fast, in-and-out sit-down dining experience, perhaps a full service restaurant isn't your best choice. Try a drive-through if you're pressed for time.
But if you want a sit down meal, where a server will do their best to make your meal a memorable experience, then don't forget to reward that server for their efforts. If you are a regular customer, the servers may also remember your consideration and understanding as well.
Food service is just like it sounds, a service industry, and should be respected and appreciated.

Cub Swanson doesn't care what anyone else thinks. As far as he's concerned, his next fight is for top contender status in the featherweight division.
Call it a motivational tactic. Call it hope. Call it whatever. That's what he's telling himself.
Swanson (18-5 MMA, 3-1 UFC) will meet Dennis Siver (21-8 MMA, 10-5 UFC) in the co-main event of UFC on FUEL TV 7 in February, and even if the winner doesn't get the next crack at champion Jose Aldo, he'll certainly find himself right there at the top of the heap.
UFC on FUEL TV 7 takes place Feb. 16 at London's Wembley Arena. The main card airs on FUEL TV following prelims on Facebook.
"I feel I'm Top 5 just based on my performance, but I feel like this fight is the real No. 1 contender fight," Swanson recently told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "Me and him pose a bigger threat to Aldo if he keeps the belt. That's where my mind is – if I win this fight, I'm getting a title shot. I don't care where they rank me, because I'm barely breaking Top 10 to those people, so I don't pay attention."
Aldo faces former lightweight champ Frankie Edgar in the main event of UFC 156 on Feb. 2 in Las Vegas. But the other featherweight contenders that are clamoring for a shot at the winner of that title fight meet in a month. Ricardo Lamas meets Erik Koch at UFC on FOX 6 in Chicago.
Lamas has a three-fight win streak. Koch has won four straight, and he was given a shot at Aldo earlier this year before he had to pull out with an injury and Edgar took his place. A Koch win over Lamas might vault him back to the front of the pack, where he was this past fall. A Lamas win would give him four straight, and most importantly, where Swanson is concerned, a win over Swanson.
The two fought at UFC on FOX 1, and Lamas submitted Swanson with a second-round arm-triangle choke. That fight, Swanson said, is one he wants again.
"I'm a fan of Lamas, but I really felt in that fight that I was winning that fight and I made a stupid mistake," he said. "I asked for that fight back. I asked the UFC if I could rematch him, and they said it didn't make sense. So all I can do is try to win the best I can in my other fights."
And that's exactly what Swanson has been doing. He has three straight knockout wins over George Roop, Ross Pearson and Charles Oliveira, and the Pearson and Oliveira wins earned him "Knockout of the Night" bonuses.
That's why, in his opinion, a win over Siver should catapult him over the Koch-Lamas winner – he finishes fights, and does so in exciting fashion.
"I know they definitely are (the top two contenders), but in my mind, we're the true No. 1 contenders because of our fighting style and posing a big threat to Aldo or Frankie," he said. "I've been finishing people and I've been fighting tougher opponents, in my opinion. I know with my last couple fights, if I finished in good fashion, that the UFC acknowledges that. They keep giving me good opponents, and I think they like what I'm doing out there. If I have another exciting performance, maybe I will get a title shot. I'm really hoping for that."
Siver is fresh off a downright dominant win over Nam Phan at UFC on FOX 5 earlier this month, and he'll waste no time returning for the fight against Swanson. Siver beat Phan with scores of 30-26, 30-25 and 30-24 – meaning he got three 10-8 rounds from one judge. It was just his second fight at featherweight after a debut win in the division against Diego Nunes.
Swanson, who trains MMA at the Jackson-Winkeljohn camp in Albuquerque, N.M., but also works boxing with Joel Diaz, believes splitting the time and working a lot of boxing has helped his standup game vault to the front of the pack in the featherweight division.
"I travel back and forth, so I get to work with the top-notch boxers and I get to work with some of the best MMA fighters in the world," he said. "As far as the boxers coming into play, they're so fast that it makes my timing and reaction that much better. By the time I get into the fight, I'm not really surprised by someone's speed."
And that's what he hopes will pay off against Siver in February in London. After a short break, the longest of his pro career, he's back at it full steam ahead and hoping another big win might convince a few people that he should be next up for a crack at the gold.
"I'm going to go out there and attack it and I'm super-excited about it," he said.

Yeh man I did. Yeh its my fave kite, although the zephyr from 11 to 17 has just blown me away. Never been so excited to get out in 15 knots!
Yeh its more closer to the nine that the 11, the 11 just seems to be that sweet size. Such great low end and yet incredible top end, and yet that 11m gives you that perfect canopy for real lofted floaty jumps. That being said the 10m is right for my weight, turns obviously quicker and gets me out in 20 plus a lot more comfortably. Can get more vertical on the 10 or it is easier to dial it in. Just an aspect of canopy size and apparent wind build up. Nah man still the great feel that you get with an edge. But....I would love ozone to bring out smaller sized zephyrs, now that's something I'd love to try...to get that extra bit of static grunt.

Installing Ruby, RubyGems, and Rails on Snow Leopard
These are instructions for compiling and installing 64-bit Ruby, Rubygems, and Ruby on Rails on Mac OS X 10.6, Snow Leopard. The benefits of manually building a copy of Ruby in /usr/local are detailed here and here.
Before following these instructions, you will need:
1. Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
2. The latest Xcode Tools (from the Snow Leopard DVD or downloaded from Apple — the 10.5 version won't work)
3. Confidence running UNIX commands using the Terminal
If you want to learn more about UNIX and the command line, check out my PeepCode screencast on this topic.
Step 1: Set the PATH
Launch Terminal.app from the /Applications/Utilities folder.
The first thing we'll do is set your shell's PATH variable. The PATH variable determines where your system searches for command-line programs. You'll need to set it so that it can find the new apps you're about to install. Using the editor of your choice, create and edit a file in your home directory named .profile (note the "." preceding the filename).
If you're using TextMate like you should be and have installed the UNIX mate command, then you can create and start editing the file like this:
mate ~/.profile
To the end of this file, add the following line:
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH"
Close and save the file and run this command to load the new setting into your current shell:
source ~/.profile
To verify that you've updated your path, enter the following command:
echo $PATH
You should see /usr/local/bin at the beginning of the line returned by the system.
Step 2: Download
We're going to create a folder to contain the files we're about to download and compile. If you want, you can delete this folder when you're done, but keeping it around makes it easier to re-install (or uninstall) these apps later.
Make the new folder:
mkdir ~/src
cd ~/src
Download Ruby and Rubygems:
curl -O ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.8/ruby-1.8.7-p174.tar.gz
curl -O http://files.rubyforge.vm.bytemark.co.uk/rubygems/rubygems-1.3.5.tgz
Step 3: Compile and Install
First, Ruby:
tar xzvf ruby-1.8.7-p174.tar.gz
cd ruby-1.8.7-p174
./configure –enable-shared –enable-pthread CFLAGS=-D_XOPEN_SOURCE=1
sudo make install
cd ..
To verify that Ruby is installed and in your path, just type:
which ruby
You should see:
If you do, this means you now have a super-fast, 64-bit version of Ruby ready to go. If you saw something different, you haven't set your path correctly. Go back and try again.
Compile and install RubyGems:
tar xzvf rubygems-1.3.5.tgz
cd rubygems-1.3.5
sudo /usr/local/bin/ruby setup.rb
cd ..
Install Rails:
sudo gem install rails
If you use MySQL, you can now install the MySQL gem. You'll need to know the location of your MySQL installation, which is typically /usr/local/mysql. Install the gem like this:
sudo gem install mysql — –with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql
Congratulations, you now have a custom-built Ruby, RubyGems, and Rails configuration.

I mean, it's not like the guy didn't specifically leave his dog for Franck Ribery to look after. Getting mad at him without that would be unreasonable.
Last month, a French fan left his dog tied up at Bayern's training grounds. The dog, named Oito, came with a note:
"Dear Franck, I'm very sorry. I don't know who I can turn to anymore," the letter reportedly began.
"For a few weeks I've been looking for a solution for Oito, who's been classed as a fighting dog. But you won't find a sweeter animal. I'm a bit ashamed about this but I'd be very happy if you could do something for Oito," it reportedly continued.
The club did not give the dog to Ribery. It took it to an animal shelter, because that's the sane thing to do. But earlier today, that very same fan showed up at Bayern's training center again, and somehow talked his way past security and into the locker room. He angrily confronted Ribery, demanding to know why he didn't keep the dog.
The dog might be better off at the shelter. Ribery is still facing charges for sexing a 16-year-old prostitute.

These occupation profiles include specific information about the nature of the work; average earnings; underlying training and education; related occupations; and corresponding academic programs.
Fast Facts:As of 2008, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimated 8,451,250 employed in the Education, Training, and Library occupational group earning the mean annual income of $48,460.
Highest Paid
Lowest Paid
What's Hot: While graduate school professors "Health Specialties Teachers, Postsecondary" ($102,000) and "Law Teachers, Postsecondary" ($101,170) (not surprising considering the high-paying Legal occupational group) rack up the highest average incomes in the Education, Training, and Library group, the "Elementary School Teachers (excluding Special Education)" (1,544,270) is the largest sized occupation.
What's Not: The top four occupations in the Least Paid group: "Teacher Assistants" ($23,560); "Preschool Teachers (excluding Special Education)" ($26,610); "Library Technicians" ($30,130); and "Graduate Teaching Assistants" ($31,710) dramatically distance themselves from the next lowest "Education, Training, and Library Workers, All Other" ($40,560).
