Hollard's Corporate Social Investment has kindly paid for two large Baobab-shaped tree structures installed at the Madagascar section of the Johannesburg Zoo, where Hollard Volunteers also helped to clear the enclosure. The Ring-Tailed Lemurs are the lucky recipients of this innovative climbing structure that combines lemur welfare and conservation with play
The ring-tailed Lemur is the most iconic lemur species of Madagascar. They are easily identified by their distinctive black and white striped tail which gives them their name. In the wild, lemurs would be found in the mid canopy of the trees. To allow them to mimic this natural behaviour, their enclosure is designed with large Baobab structures with ropes connected to different areas. The lemurs use these ropes and branches to move around their enclosure, promoting exercise and demonstrating their natural climbing and jumping abilities when doing so.
Katherine Visser, the Primate Curator at the Johannesburg Zoo, expressed her appreciation to Hollard and the contractor that built the Baobab structures.

Take a glimpse into the world of fauna from the Amazon Basin when visiting Joburg Zoo's Animal of the Amazon Exhibit. The building design is based on the historic Mayan temples of Central America, and consists of 2 floors of exhibit, with the 3rd level being an observation deck.The exhibit houses an impressive collection of animals from Central and South America, ranging from large predators to small animals, consisting of: reptiles, arachnids, amphibians, fishes and mammals. At least 2 of the "terrifying creatures of the Amazon river", Arapima and pacu is amongst the collection. The exhibit has a walk-through tunnel, housing fresh water fish and it brings the exciting biodiversity of the Amazon Rainforest to many South Africans who would never be able to visit such natural habitats. The exhibit also highlights the beauty of each of the species found within that habitat, their needs and to create awareness of habitat destruction and loss of biodiversity.
A huge diversity of reptiles can be found in the Amazon Rainforest, most are primarily carnivores whilst others are herbivores .The zoo's collection consists of the following species of snakes 4 Boa species, Boa Constrictor, Amazon tree boa, Brazilian Rainbow Boa, Columbia Rainbow Boa, Red tailed boa and Yellow anaconda . Boa are the most famous snakes in the world, with Anacondas being one of the most dangerous, the largest and heaviest snake in the world, weighing up to 95 kg and 5-7 m long. Other snakes such as Milk Honduran, Snake False water Cobra can also be found in the Exhibit.
At least 2 lizard species are amongst the Zoo's collection one of them being the Gila Monster Green, which is one of the largest and venomous lizards in the US and Iguanas.
Wildly coloured and toxic are poison dart frogs; their poison can easily paralyse any animal. Their bright colours serve to warn predators to stay safely away. Golden Poison Dart Frog, Yellow banded dart frog, Dyeing Dart Frog, Amazon poison dart frog, Black and Green Dart Frog, Blue Dart Frog, Dart Strawberry are amongst the few frogs that can be found in the exhibit.
Myriad fresh water fish species ranging from the largest Arapaima, which is approximately 450 centimeters long and weighs about 200 kg are housed in the exhibit. Also Pacu, an omnivore related to the famous Piranha and has human-like teeth, known from fishing story joke as "testicle-eating" fish is amongst the collection. Freshwater stingray, Red tailed Catfish Piraiba Catfish - known to be the largest catfish of the Amazon river, Red Hump Earth Eater, Jack Demsey, Oscar Chichild - very aggressive fish which will actively defend its territory, Bronze Corydoras - have a mild poison which causes fish which try to attack them to get stung, Altum Angel - considered the most peaceful of all angelfish species, Discus- derives its name from its body shape, which is round and compressed like a disc and Amazon Leaf Fish- the fish is camouflaged to mimic a dead leaf, both in body shape and pattern. It can change colour to match its surroundings and has a projection from its bottom lip that resembles a leaf stalk.
Spider species
Very interesting species of spiders are housed in the exhibit including one of the largest spiders, often cited as 2nd or 3rd in the world, Bird eater. Various species of tarantula such as Curly hair tarantula, Mexican Red Knee and Green Bottle Blue - one of the most colourful tarantulas in the world are amongst the collection. Bright blue legs, metallic blue green carapace and orange abdominal hair, Chilean Common Tarantula, Mexican Flame Knee tarantula, white striped bird eater and Costa Rican tiger rump
Mammal Species
2 mammal species, Selba Short-tailed bat and Emperor Tamarin are housed in the exhibit

The rules, which come into force on June 1, aim to prevent firms offering products such as unit trusts and OEICs from cherry-picking the data they use to show a product in the most flattering light.
Instead, if they use past performance data it will have to be accompanied by a table showing what the annual returns on a fund have been each year for the past five years, the Financial Services Authority said.
The figures will have to be shown as a percentage to give consumers a better understanding of the volatility of an investment and how it has performed over time.
If a fund has not been around for five years the advert must show as much past performance data as there is, and if the data available covers less than 12 months, information on past performance will not be allowed to be included in the advert.
The move is part of a bigger package to improve the way past performance figures are used in advertising.
Other measures include reducing the emphasis on past performance, strengthening warnings so they appear in the main part of an advert and not buried in small print, and preventing firms making a link between past and future performance.
The Financial Services Consumer Panel welcomed the new rules, but said it was disappointed that the FSA had decided not to ban the use of showing past performance in money terms.
Ann Foster, chairman of the panel, said: 'Allowing the use of some monetary values in financial promotions is a recipe for confusion that could lead to problems in the future.
'We would have preferred to see the FSA acting on its own research findings and prohibiting the use of monetary values altogether.'

Genetic modification of foods has been a controversial issue due to debated concerns over health and environmental safety. This experiment demonstrates technical understanding of how food DNA is genetically identified, allowing for educated decision making about the safety and potential dangers of using genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food supplies. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is used to amplify food DNA to test for the presence of genetically modified DNA in food products. Presence of specific DNA bands is detected by using gel electrophoresis to pull extracted food DNA through a 3% agarose gel, a concentration dense enough to separate the bands of DNA containing the genetically modified DNA. Several controls are used in the electrophoresis procedure to ensure DNA is successfully extracted from test foods (plant primer), and to provide known examples of both genetically modified DNA (purchased genetically modified DNA) and non-genetically modified DNA (purchased certified non-GMO food control).…

Aseptic technique is a fundamental skill widely practiced in the field of environmental microbiology that requires a balance of mindfulness and practice in the laboratory. Proper use of this technique reduces the likelihood of bacterial or fungal contamination of reagents, culture media, and environmental samples. Aseptic technique is also vital to ensure data integrity and maintain the purity of culture libraries that may be comprised of very rare and difficult to culture isolates. Sources of contamination in the laboratory environment include airborne microorganisms (including those adhering to dust and lint particles), microbes present on the laboratory bench workspace or on unsterilized glassware or equipment, and microbes transferred from the body and hair of the researcher. The use of aseptic technique is also a safety measure that lowers the potential for the transmission of microorganisms to researchers, which is particularly important when working with pathogens.…

Genetic engineering – the process of purposefully altering an organism's DNA – has been used to create powerful research tools and model organisms, and has also seen many agricultural applications. However, in order to engineer traits to tackle complex agricultural problems such as stress tolerance, or to realize the promise of gene therapy for treating human diseases, further advances in the field are still needed. Important considerations include the safe and efficient delivery of genetic constructs into cells or organisms, and the establishment of the desired modification in an organism's genome with the least "off-target" effects. JoVE's Overview of Genetic Engineering will present a history of the field, highlighting the discoveries that confirmed DNA as the genetic material and led to the development of tools to modify DNA. Key questions that must be answered in order to improve the process of genetic engineering will then be introduced, along with various tools used by genetic engineers. Finally, we will survey several applications demonstrating the types of experimental questions and strategies in the field today.…

What Was The Highlight of Your Year?
Facebook's "Year In Review" has got to be the coolest feature since...well, it's a cool feature!
Facebook's "Year In Review" has got to be the coolest feature since...well, it's a cool feature!
Social media makes it so that many of us can do a lot of things that we might not necessarily do in real life. And honestly, if you think about it, a lot of things that social media has us doing daily online, are things that would be totally creepy if we did them in the real world. The folks at Buzzfeed realized that, and put together this video to show us how some of the things that we do on Facebook would look if we did them in real life.
Okay, this selfie craze has officially gotten out of control.
Hashtags have been a thing forever on Twitter, but now that they are also a thing on Facebook it seems like everyone is using them. Seriously, I've seen my dad use them. I figure it's only a matter of time before my grandmother uses them, too. A hashtag or two aren't bad, but when you have a status that is more hashtags than other words, that's a problem. A problem that Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake have noticed. So much so that they made a video just to show you how ridiculous you sound when you use them. Check it out.
In December, Dave Vitali was going to see his daughter when he got into a serious accident.He flipped his pickup truck, and hung upside down and bleeding with his only comfort being that his trusty dog Max was by his side and okay. Unfortunately, when the ambulances came the sirens scared the golden retriever, and Max ran away
Back when Facebook was just about college students and the recently graduated it was great for getting back in touch with high school friends that you had lost contact with for a few years. But now that everybody and their grandmother is on the social network, the reunions Facebook enables have started to become really impressive.
If there's anything the internet loves, it's a creative marriage proposal. Now that the best ones end up on YouTube for all to see, it has become harder and harder to come up with a truly unique proposal. But that doesn't mean it's impossible.
Don't just update your status—update your résumé. Facebook has just released a Social Jobs App that will allow people to search job listings from a multitude of sites like Monster and DirectEmployers.
You know it's a bad day when a judge decides you need to spend some time behind bars because you didn't delete your Facebook account. Is having a Facebook page now a crime? It seems that if you irk the wrong judge in the state of Kentucky, it just might be.
Social technology, like Facebook, might be a great way for people to keep in touch, but it can also just as easily become a massive hindrance.
According to a new survey, your friends might not be as enamored with the photos you post on Facebook as you are.

SEVENTEEN-year-old Alexander Zverev reached the semi-finals of his hometown tournament by defeating Tobias Kamke 0-6 7-5 6-3 at the Hamburg Open.
Zverev won just six points in the opening set but saved seven of 11 break points and converted four chances of his own in the next two sets to beat his fellow Hamburg resident in two hours.
The 285th-ranked Zverev is the first 17-year-old to reach an ATP semi-final since 2006, when Marin Cilic lost to Feliciano Lopez at Gstaad.
Zverev has also beaten Robin Haase, fifth-seeded Mikhail Youzhny and 11th-seeded Santiago Giraldo en route to the final four.
He next faces top-seeded David Ferrer, who eased past Spanish compatriot Pablo Andujar 6-0 6-2.
Argentina's Leonardo Mayer defeated Serbia's Dusan Lajovic 6-1 7-5 and the seventh-seeded Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany later beat Czech player Lukas Rosol 6-4 6-4 to complete the other semi-final.

World Language Department Retake Form: retake-submission-form
The Middle School World Language Program in grades 7 and 8 is equivalent to our level 1 world languages courses at the high school. The program is specifically designed to provide middle school students with the necessary time to learn, practice, and master vocabulary, grammar, and culture in order to have a solid base of knowledge. It is expected those students selecting a world language: 1) are on grade level in reading and math, 2) possess good study skills, 3) are organized, and 4) demonstrate self-discipline and responsibility.
In eighth grade world language, students complete the second semester of the Level 1 course of study. The eighth grade program builds upon the material taught in seventh grade. It is not a repeat of the seventh grade program. Students who successfully complete the middle school program with an average of 75% or better, may begin Level 2 of the world language studied upon their entrance to ninth grade. Students who did not begin the study of a world language in 7th grade cannot enter the 8th grade program because the program is a continuation of Level 1, meaning students will have missed the first half of the Level 1 course content on which the eighth grade course is based.
Please note:
Students who enter the program are making a commitment to two years of world language study in the middle school. Students who complete 8th grade French with at least a 75% average will be eligible to enroll in French 2 in 9th grade.

A good expert witness can make the difference between winning and losing a case. So can a bad one. WIPR looks at how to pick the best possible person.
In patent cases, the idea of an 'expert' witness can seem like a contradiction. The court commonly requires the expertise of a 'person having ordinary skill in the art', and not necessarily of a genuine leader in the specific field. Not only that, but this ordinary skill must be retrospective. Patents that are subject to litigation may be several years old.
It is no use employing an expert on the current state of the art if the court is concerned with the state of the art of a decade ago. In both jury and bench trials, the decision-makers (the jury or the judge) are unlikely to be experts in the particular technical field, so highly complex product analyses may not have the desired effect.
Yet, for attorneys, in-depth and current expertise may be vital criteria for selecting an expert, not least because the attorneys themselves may not understand the technical make-up of the patent at issue.

Audible SMS Makes Texting While Driving a Safe Possibility
We all know how difficult it is to text while driving. Speaking from experience, it's virtually impossible -- and in some parts of South Florida, even illegal. AT&T adds a little label to the front of new phones suggesting not to do it, and we've all heard of the friend who knew someone who crashed by trying to multitask. We get the point. But now a new technology has been created to make texting and driving a cinch, and you'll be able to do it effortlessly by 2011.
This is especially good news for BlackBerry users, who will be the first to benefit from these advances. BlackBerry is working with Ford to make audible text messaging via SYNC a reality. RIM has agreed to implement the Bluetooth-standard MAP on new BlackBerrys moving forward -- that's Message Access Profile in laymen's terms. But what does that mean exactly?
You'll be able to create enhanced connections between the SYNC system and your smartphone, and it will read aloud incoming text messages.
The text message feature will only read aloud incoming text messages for now, with a "text-to-voice" function. There will even be an option for drivers to block incoming calls and texts with a Do Not Disturb button -- but who really wants to do that?
Of course, there's always a catch. All of this will be accessible only for those who own a new Ford that has the MyFord Touch system. Not to be confused with the iPod Touch, it incorporates navigation, climate control, and audio options and connects your phone with the Internet. You'll be able to make your car into a Wi-Fi hotspot, listen to HD radio with iTunes tagging support, and, best of all, it's all interconnected by two 4.2 LCD screens and an eight-inch touch-screen LCD in the center console.
All of this will be primarily featured in the 2011 Ford Edge and will be available on most Fords in 2012. Here's hoping other carmakers take note and make this a mainstream necessity.

How does layaway or lay-buy work? – FAQs
What is Lay-By?
The layby term is the process of paying a down-payment for a purchase and the remainder to be paid off in instalments until the full purchase price is amounted to. At the point of the total price being received by the vendor, only then will the order be deemed 'complete' and despatched or released electronically (depending on the product you have purchased). Layby is noted in other countries as a 'Laybuy', 'Layaway' or 'Pre-Order'.
How does layby or layaway work?
As mentioned in the above definition, a layby or layaway it is the acceptance of structured payments until the total payment of the goods or products vended is received in full. In essence, it is flexibility for both vendors and consumers.

Unions today gave warning that combined walkouts over pay and conditions could cost the capital's economy millions and hit businesses.
Up to 2,500 drivers and other staff began a 48-hour strike today, halting up to nearly 60 routes across east London. The action affected the East London Bus Group, which operates 750 buses in Barking, Bow, Leyton, Romford, Upton Park and West Ham.
Bosses of Unite, London's biggest transport union, ordered the stoppage when the company imposed a pay freeze, blaming the recession.
Staff have also overwhelmingly backed walkouts at First Centre West, First Capital East, and Hackney Community Transport. Strike dates have yet to be announced.
Steve Hart, Unite regional secretary, said: "There will be a major strike wave across London."
On Monday Unite will announce the strike ballot result among 750 Tube staff, including key engineering workers, in a pay dispute. The union is confident of "overwhelming" support. The RMT, the Tube's largest union whose members include trains drivers and signal workers, yesterday announced a strike ballot, too.
A Tube safety row broke out today after revelations that track inspections on the Jubilee line from Westminster to Stratford are to be halved to once a week. Bob Crow, RMT general secretary, said the cuts would spread to other lines and were to save money.

The remarks - described as patronising by union leaders - went down badly too with a growing band of Labour rebels, who are threatening to bring about the biggest parliamentary rebellion against government policy since the Iraq war.
"We don't need to be told we don't understand, we understand perfectly well. What we need now is engagement," said one former minister, Angela Eagle. "Let's have a real debate, let's sit down".
Another former minister critical of the policy dismissed Ms Kelly's approach as nothing more than "let me explain one more time, but this time a bit more slowly".
After a week in which the education secretary came under huge pressure over the presence of convicted sex offenders in a handful of schools, the revolt looks all but impossible to contain unless the government gives ground.
But with Downing Street wanting her to press ahead, the only certainty is that the pressure will continue to pile on next week, when the education select committee issues a report on the plans that early leaks suggest will be highly critical.
It will recommend that the powers of the proposed new "trust" schools be substantially watered down and will urge the government to think again about plans to transfer assets from local education authorities.
It is also understood to recommend that local authorities should set targets for schools on how many children they admit who receive free school meals, and should be in charge of a new national code on admissions, which would outlaw selection and interviewing parents or pupils.
A separate report from the education thinktank the Sutton Trust, out on Monday, will add to fears that schools free to pursue academic excellence are likely to exclude poorer pupils.
In a series of interviews yesterday Ms Kelly argued that "clarification and reassurance on a couple of particular issues" will be enough to turn things around.
"In the talks that I have been having with backbenchers over the last couple of months, those concerns have narrowed down quite substantially to a couple of areas," she told BBC Radio 4.
Some took that as a sign that she is prepared to give ground on the two main areas infuriating her party: the role of local education authorities and the freedom of individual schools to choose their pupils.
Compromise is made easier by the fact that so far the government has not published a bill, just the white paper on which it will be based. That is expected next month, with one campaigner, John Denham, yesterday calling on the government "to produce a bill that will command consensus from the beginning".
One problem, a former minister, Nick Raynsford, said yesterday, is that the white paper "is not coherent but has a number of contradictory positions", especially on the role of education authorities. That is a common view among MPs. Ed Davey, the Liberal Democrat education spokesman, described the paper as "one of the most shoddy and inconsistent pieces of work that has ever come out of the government".
Mr Denham said: "We need rather more than reassurance, we are looking for clarification."
But although campaigners still expect a deal to be reached, they are unclear about how that will happen. "At what point can a deal be done?," said one critical MP. "The government must not end up in an auction, but the trouble is that there are a widespread series of concerns, not all of them in the alternative white paper published by Labour rebels."
Talk of compromise was also offset by a combative performance from the education secretary that appeared to imply her critics did not know what they were talking about. For a relatively inexperienced cabinet minister it was a bold approach.
"I think this is a very, very complex area and I think there is a big misunderstanding among certain of my colleagues," she told the BBC when asked why Lady Morris and Lord Kinnock had spoken out.
Lady Morris could not be contacted yesterday, but speaking at a meeting of the left-leaning Compass group on Thursday the former education secretary denied she had failed to grasp the main points of the government's plans. She told the meeting: "I do understand what's in the white paper. It does not need explaining to me."
She is one of the highest-profile members of a campaign that now extends across the parliamentary Labour party and the cabinet. John Prescott, Patricia Hewitt and the international development secretary, Hilary Benn, are among those at the top of government unhappy at the proposals. Criticism lower down the ranks is more explicit, with 90 Labour MPs supporting the alternative white paper.
Their fears were not calmed yesterday when Ms Kelly welcomed the Conservative party's change of heart on selection.
"There is not a big chasm between us and the Conservatives on selection any more ... they have adopted what I think is a common sense position which I think is very closely aligned with the government's own position," she told the BBC.
FAQ: The battles ahead
Why all the fuss about education?
Education secretary Ruth Kelly has been under fire for her handling of a row about sex offenders allowed to work in schools. She announced a package of measures on Thursday to tighten up the existing system of checks on staff. That appears to have drawn a line under the affair for now, although opposition MPs say her credibility and reputation has been irreparably damaged.
So will she survive as education secretary?
In the short-term, yes. But her troubles are not over as she is also in charge of controversial reforms to the secondary school system in England expected to be set out in a bill next month. A huge backbench rebellion is looming, and defeat would be personally damaging for Tony Blair. Many well-known Labour figures such as former leader Lord Kinnock and former education secretary Estelle Morris have added their support to the campaign criticising the reforms.
Could the sex offender row blow up again?
Yes. Some newspapers claim there are dozens of sex offenders who could be working with children. Ms Kelly has already admitted that there are other individuals whose backgrounds are still being investigated. The Sun says the total could be as high as 150, and officials are terrified of a further newspaper revelation involving a specific case. The case of Paul Reeve, a PE teacher cautioned for viewing child pornography, triggered the row nearly two weeks ago after it was found that he had been cleared to work in a Norfolk school.
What happens next?
The Department for Education and Skills - in chaos over the sex offenders row - is now under pressure to publish two major bills next month, one to take forward the package of measures announced on Thursday to set up a new centralised "vetting and barring" list to check staff, and the other setting out the school reforms.
Isn't more criticism expected of the white paper?
Yes. A report from the Commons education select committee, due out next Thursday, will criticise many of the central reforms. The government wants to set up new "trust" schools which would have the same right as foundation schools and voluntary aided schools (many of these are church schools) to set their own admissions criteria. The committee does not oppose these schools but will recommend their powers be reined in.
Why is there so much confusion about the reforms?
The white paper sets out a wide-ranging package of proposals, designed also to improve discipline and offer more "personalised" learning. But most of the argument has focused on whether or not the proposals will lead to a back door return to 11-plus selection. Labour MPs normally loyal to Tony Blair are worried that children from the poorest families will be disadvantaged by the reforms.

The full extent of the squeeze on first-time property buyers in London is exposed in a new report.
The number of city boroughs where the average price of a two-bedroom flat is under £250,000 will fall from 15 to four in the next five years, it says.
Property services company Hamptons International expects prices in Greater London to rise nine per cent this year — then a further seven per cent next year, six in 2015, four in 2016 and 4.5 in both 2017 and 2018.
Central and Inner London prices are growing faster and will continue to leave the suburbs behind, although the gap will narrow after 2016.
The report concludes that while Londoners in the key buying age groups can today afford to buy a two-bedroom property in almost half the city's boroughs, by 2018 only a third of the areas will still be within their reach.
Fionnuala Earley, research director at Hamptons, said: "Affordability is always tough for buyers in London and it's not great that this will deteriorate in the years ahead. But the good news is that it's not as bad as one might have expected. Even if prices rise by 28 per cent over the period, as we expect, there will still be 13 out of 33 boroughs that will be affordable.
"Even though those boroughs may be less popular now, it's not unreasonable to expect that new demand will breathe new life into them."
The report reveals that by 2018 the average cost of stamp duty in Kensington and Chelsea will be almost £60,000, compared with under £40,000 now.
Boroughs where the average stamp duty will rise above £20,000 by 2018 include Westminster, Camden, Hammersmith & Fulham, Wandsworth, Islington and Richmond.
Osteopath Amy Hope, 25, who is setting up her own practice in Clapham and London Bridge, said the findings were "not surprising" but feared she may be forced to move out of London to afford the flat she wants.
Miss Hope, who pays £650 a month to rent in Clapham with friends, added: "I'd be looking to get a two-bedroom flat because it's a better investment and most people would like to rent out that second room if they can.
"I'm keeping my savings and hoping things will settle down and make it a bit easier to get on to the ladder. I'm thinking of probably having to relocate up north if I want to buy a house.
"So many properties are being bought by foreign investors and it doesn't seem fair that we don't get first dibs. It seems unfair that they're buying these properties and not even living in them."
Musician Greg Harradine, 25, and his girlfriend Helen Youngs, 24, who works in publishing, say they have given up hope of buying a two-bedroom flat.
They currently rent a one-bed flat in Putney for about £1,000 a month but are trying to save for their own home.
Mr Harradine said: "It's depressing. It's just so hard to get a deposit together and stay in London when you're on a modest salary and don't have parents who can help out. It's forcing younger people further out into zone five or six. In an ideal world a two-bed flat would be amazing but I don't think we can ever afford one so we'll have to look for a one-bed for under £200,000.
"We don't want to rent for ever and throw our money away. We want to be investing for the future but that seems rather impossible at the moment."Reuse content

US Securities Industry in 2004: IT Spending Projections & Key IT Trends
Celent anticipates that for the first time in two years annual IT spending will increase in the securities industry, reaching US$26.1 billion by the end of 2004.
After two years of dismal market conditions and stagnant IT spending, the U.S. securities industry is ready for a change. In a new report, "US Securities Industry in 2004: IT Spending Projections & Key IT Trends," Celent examines the market conditions shaping the future of the securities industry and provides IT spending projections for 2004 and beyond.
According to Sang Lee, manager of Celent痴 securities and investments practice, the positive outlook in the equities markets, changes in the retail brokerage industry, and pressures in investment banking have opened the doors to spending. Lee adds, "While we might not return to the spending nirvana of the late 1990s, 2004 is important because it looks to be the year in which wallets begin to open again."
Celent takes a cautiously optimistic view of the overall performance of the securities industry in 2004. Industry trends currently revolve around cost reduction, operational efficiency (straight-through processing), and compliance and risk management.
This report provides analysis and views on those issues that are vital to understanding the current and future direction of the industry from a technology and business standpoint.

Our completion rate is 85%, a very high rate compared to the 18% completion rate that prevails nationwide with Native students.
Contrary to what students often think, CTD rewards students for finding and winning scholarships. Many students think the fewer scholarships they find and win, the more we will like it. The opposite is true. The more scholarships you find and win, the more we like it, and the more money we will give you. Our ultimate goal is to have you being able to go to college with no loans and have your expenses totally covered.
Many students think they cannot afford to go to Stanford or Harvard. The total cost for a year at the Ivy League colleges is now $64,000. But really solid, hardworking, dedicated, serious students can win enough money in scholarships to be able to attend Stanford or Harvard. The secret is scholarships.
We will help students with their scholarship search, with their scholarship planning, and with their essay. We will help you with your essay at any time. Our critique of it is free! Please call us with any questions whatsoever. Nothing is too unimportant to ask us about. The only silly or stupid question is the one you do not ask.
Please use us freely as a resource. (Send it to Dean Chavers in Word format only.)
We require students to apply to all other sources of funds before they apply to CTD. This includes financial aid, college work study, Perkins and Stafford loans, tribal scholarships, and other scholarships. We want students to be able to go to Stanford Medical School, not have to take out any loans, and still be able to give their momma money.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed creator Haden Blackman learned the ways of the game developing force during 13 years with LucasArts. Now he's starting a studio of his own.
Along with partner, Cedrick Collomb, LucasArts' former director of engineering, Blackman today is announcing the formation of Fearless Studios, their own independent development studio based in Marin County, Calif.(www.FearlessStudios.com).
"We chose Fearless Studios for a very specific reason. We want to build a culture where we are not afraid to do the things that we think are required to make great games," Blackman said in an interview earlier this week. "Taking creative risks, tackling new challenges, working hard and being honest with ourselves and our partners. Those are really the pillars for the studio."
Blackman left LucasArts in July after serving as franchise director on Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, out Oct. 26, as well as creator and senior executive producer of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (2008). His team won a Writers Guild of America award for the first Force Unleashed game.
Now, he will be Fearless' co-president and chief creative officer; Collomb will be co-president and chief technology officer. "Fearless Studios will marry compelling content with the most advanced game technologies and software, crafted and customized specifically for the experiences we want to create," Collomb said in a statement. "We're not building technology for its own sake; we want everything we do to show up onscreen to entertain the player—that's all that matters to us."
The studio's acting chief financial officer is Marc Jackson, founder of Seahorn Capital Group, who previously has served five years as CEO of game companies. He has served as a financial advisor on games such as Batman: Arkham Asylum.
More from our discussion with Blackman:
How did this come about?
Starting my own development studio is something I have entertained for six to seven years now and actually explored a couple different times between projects. Along the way, I ended up meeting Cedrick, he was actually the lead engineer on The Force Unleashed 1 and then became LucasArts' director of engineering. As we talked, we realized we really were of like minds and kindred spirits in terms of the type of games we wanted to make and the types of people we wanted to work with and the type of studio we wanted to build. For me, that's when it kind of became a reality because I don't have the tech background and that was always the big daunting part of this.
And, just personally, I really had a fantastic time playing in George (Lucas)'s sandbox for almost 13 years but you get to a point, I think as a creative, where you just want to go off and try to create your own sandbox and see what you can do with your own properties or even different properties. I have always been a big comic book fan. I love horror movies. I have a lot of different interests outside of Star Wars. I got to a point where I just really wanted to see what could do on my own outside of the Star Wars brand. That was the other big motivating factor for me.
Do you have an initial project decided upon?
We have about six different concepts that we are exploring. They range from a big action title, the type of game you would expect us to build coming off of The Force Unleashed franchise, all the way to hard-core horror. We are also looking at a couple of smaller games, some episodic content potentially, as well. Our focus is on what we have done in the past and had success with, which is the big console game, very action-oriented, story-driven type of game.
So you expect to develop for consoles, then?
Yes, Cedrick and I have had a lot of success on the 360, the PS3 and even the Wii in the past. We want to continue to develop for those platforms. One of the things that we think we bring to the table that not a lot of other studios can say is that we have built games for all those platforms and we have launched across all those platforms simultaneously, so I think we kind of know our way around those systems. But it doesn't rule out doing titles for other platforms and as we generate these concepts we actually have a handful that we think would probably be better suited for like, the iPhone or even Xbox Live Arcade or the PlayStation Network. Smaller bite-size content.
You stayed at LucasArts through the development of The Force Unleashed II. What did you learn by doing that?
Every project is a learning experience. The Force Unleashed 1 was an amazing eaxperience and I wouldn't have traded that for anything in the world because it gave us an opportunity to build a brand new franchise from the ground up and to revitalize an (intellectual property) in gaming, specifically. We feel very strongly that we helped revitalize Star Wars as a gaming ground through The Force Unleashed. We built that team from about 10 people to over 100, so that was a good experience for us, obviously. And it was in the midst of rebuilding a studio, which I was fortunate to be heavily involved in. And then we built a brand-new tool pipeline and a brand-new engine and we were building for two new platforms, at that time anyway. Any one of those things is kind of a big red flag for publishers who go out looking for independent developers. We did them all and I think we did them all successfully. Now we are much more educated and much saner about the risks we will take going into Fearless. Our whole mantra has been we want to take creative risks, but we want to mitigate those with smart technology decisions.
What were the toughest aspects of leaving LucasArts?
Obviously, I'm a big Star Wars fan so not working with it day in day out, that was a little bit. But really for me the hardest thing about leaving was the people. … Just being able to work with really talented people, who are also just good people, leaving that was the hardest part.
So how has this been for you? I would assume scary and exhilarating all at same time.
I'm finding that in certain areas, I know a lot more than I thought I did and then other areas, for instance, I have no idea it was going to take this long to do X, Y or Z. And you miss things like having a concept artist in the next office over. Now we are working with contractors, which is really fun, but different.
But I will say the most exciting thing for me was, my dad gave me a piece of advice 13 years ago when I first started at LucasArts. He said, you know, just make sure that while you are working on Star Wars stuff that you never stop writing your own stuff and designing your own games. I've been designing games since I was 10, the first time I played Dungeons & Dragons. … Recently, because the ability to work on Star Wars is not there, my mind is just exploding with ideas. For me what has been cool is that the last two and a half months have just been the most fertile time for me creatively than in seven or eight years. For Cedrick, it is the same way. He's seeing all these new directions that we could head in tech … We have multiple options now in the type of games we build and the type of tech that we use.

I'll cite one example of fodder for their thoughts:
That Borat finds the streak of poison in American life mitigates the potential perception of "Borat" as some Muslim-bashing movie for a self-satisfied Western audience. However anti-Semitic, misogynistic or homophobic Borat might be, he is usually able to find some American to agree with him. In fact, Borat's bigotry allows the people around him to let their hair down and chime in. Then the trap snaps shut and they're on 3,000 screens talking, for example, about how in America the minorities have all the advantages.
This, from a review published today in -- where else? San Francisco.
I could find other examples, but I've got better things to do, and I'll just say it seems to me that the left, and liberals, are willing to go to various places in their criticism of Americans that the right simply doesn't.
But wait! There's more! Don't take this as a classic liberal bash-fest. It's not.
Here's what I think about liberalism: Without liberalism, America itself wouldn't be possible.
There. I said it. Satisfied?
In a sense, I'm clearly a liberal, because I'm a beneficiary of the liberal American way of thinking that allowed our Founding Fathers to trash the hoary old conservatives way back in the late 1700's.
So, the sense of liberalism in which you're looking for things that are wrong, and you hope to solve them... well, that has its own dynamic. And, just the way that Jefferson and Co. bashed a few heads together, figuratively speaking, to form our Republic, I believe you could argue that liberals of today are simply trying to accomplish the same thing -- to build our country toward something greater.
If the above is true, I have only one question:
For the love of Mike, why the heck can't liberals make their way of thinking work?
There's no sense in which one should "love" racism, or prejudice, or any manner of negative things that most Americans -- liberals or conservatives -- would despise. Most Americans would find hatred of Barak Obama or Harold Ford, Jr., merely because they're black, absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. That's just one example.
But liberals of today don't seem to know how to harness the common ground that the great Ronald Reagan was able to do so well. Instead, they make snide remarks about "flyover country" and horrible "streaks" in American life, and I think that reading stuff like the article I cited above is what makes a lot of ordinary people -- like me -- think: What the fudge? Ain't that condescending?
And it's unfortunate that it does appear that way.
I think that conservatism has gone a bit stale, frankly speaking. I've been let down in the last few years by Mr. Bush in some ways, mainly domestic. That's one reason I haven't been sending in donations the way I used to.
But I look at the relationship that liberals seem to have with much of America and I think to myself, "This is what liberals think? This is what they are concerned about?"
Liberals simply haven't been able to get their message across, and what messages they have, have looked bad, and they make America look bad, besides.
What America needs, perhaps, is another Ronald Reagan, but this time of the left.
Are you shocked to read my words saying that this is so?
If so, doesn't this something that the left, and liberals, should really think about?

Ex-CSFB Banker Charged
Allegedly told employees to destroy evidenceApr 24, 2003 | NEWSDAY
Frank Quattrone, a former senior executive at Credit Suisse First Boston, was charged yesterday with obstructing justice by ordering subordinates to destroy evidence sought by the Securities and Exchange Commission and a federal grand jury.
Quattrone, 47, former head of CSFB's Global Technology Group, surrendered to the FBI early yesterday morning after Manhattan U.S. Attorney James Comey unsealed a three-count complaint charging him with obstruction of justice, destroying evidence and witness tampering.
The charges were brought against one of the most prominent investment bankers from the dot-com era. In the late 1990s, Quattrone's team of Silicon Valley technology bankers raked in tens of millions of dollars in fees for taking public companies such as Amazon.com and VA Linux Systems Inc.
Quattrone resigned from CSFB under intense pressure last month.
According to the complaint, Quattrone committed the crimes in December 2000, after knowing for months that CSFB was the subject of probes by the NASD, the SEC and a Manhattan federal grand jury, who were all investigating CSFB's practice of allocating hot initial public offering shares to friends or clients of the firm.
Quattrone declined to speak to reporters as he left the Lower Manhattan Courthouse. However, his lawyer, John Keker, asserted prosecutors had overreached. "Frank Quattrone is innocent," said Keker, reading a statement to the media. "He never obstructed justice. Only prosecutors who see their world through dirty windows would take a one-sentence e-mail supporting company policy and try to turn it into a federal criminal case."
At a news conference, Comey said that he wanted the charges to warn other executives to take subpoenas seriously and not destroy evidence. "In the privacy of your office you may think that no one will ever know," he said. "If you do that, you're playing with fire."
Quattrone was brought before U.S. Magistrate Theodore Katz who released him on his own recognizance. Katz also ordered him to surrender travel documents and restricted his travel to the United States.
An affidavit drafted by FBI Special Agent Kathleen Queally and filed yesterday offers a chronology of the alleged crimes. In July 2000, Quattrone was advised that the SEC had begun an investigation of CSFB's entire equity underwriting process. On Dec. 3, 2000, CSFB's senior legal officers advised Quattrone CSFB had received subpoenas from a federal grand jury and the SEC. Quattrone was instructed not to discuss the matter.
But on Dec. 4, 2000, the complaint charges, a Quattrone subordinate suggested a memo be sent out reminding CSFB officers to "clean up" their IPO-related files. On Dec. 5, Quattrone e-mailed several hundred CSFB employees, writing, "before you leave for the holidays, you should catch up on file cleaning."
He also added, "[H]aving been a key witness in a securities litigation case in south texas i strongly advise you to follow these procedures."
If convicted of obstruction, Quattrone faces up to 10 years imprisonment.
Comey noted his office's IPO investigation into CSFB closed in November 2001. CSFB agreed to pay $200 million as part of an industry-wide settlement into conflicts of interest between stock research and investment banking.
Comey said his investigation into other individuals is continuing.

Multiscale modeling of thermal transport in gallium nitride microelectronics
Christensen, Adam Paul
MetadataShow full item record
Gallium nitride (GaN) has been targeted for use in high power (>30 W/mm) and high frequency (>160 GHz) application due to its wide band gap and its large break down field. One of the most significant advances in GaN devices has evolved from the AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT). As a result of the large power densities being applied to these devices there can develop intense hot spots near areas of highest electric field. The hot spot phenomenon has been linked to a decrease in device reliability through a range of degradation mechanisms. In order to minimize the effect that hot spot temperatures have on device reliability a detailed understanding of relevant transport mechanisms must be developed. This study focuses on two main aspects of phonon transport within GaN devices. The first area of focus was to establish an understanding of phonon relaxation times within bulk GaN. These relaxation times were calculated from an application of Fermi's Golden Rule and explicitly conserve energy and crystal momentum. This analysis gives insight into the details behind the macroscopic thermal conductivity parameter. Once relaxation times for GaN were established a multiscale phonon transport modeling methodology was developed that allowed the Boltzmann Transport Equation to be coupled to the energy equation. This coupling overcomes some computational limits and allows for nanoscale phenomena to be resolved within a macroscopic domain. Results of the transport modeling were focused on benchmarking the coupling method as well as calculating the temperature distribution within an operating 6 finger HEMT.

China, Hong Kong stocks up after U.S. keeps rates unchanged
* CSI300 +0.6 pct; SSEC +0.4 pct; HSI +0.4 pct
* U.S. rate decision seen as positive - analyst
* Regulators' comment on margin financing clean-up eases concerns
SHANGHAI, Sept 18 (Reuters) - Stocks in China and Hong Kong rose on Friday morning as the U.S. Federal Reserve held off from raising interest rates, citing in part growing global uncertainties.
Investor attention quickly shifted to domestic issues, with many seeing regulators' guidance to brokerages against an indiscriminate approach in the clean-up of illegal margin financing as being moderately positive.
"The U.S. raising rates would trigger fresh fears of capital flight, so leaving the rates unchanged is positive, though mildly," said Yang Hai, strategist at Kaiyuan Securities.
"Regulators' softening stance in the clean-up of illegal margin financing is also market-soothing. The market had expected an end-September deadline, but obviously, it's not the case."
The market is unusually calm on a day when September index futures contracts will be settled, partly because the duel between the bulls and the bears was largely completed earlier in the week, Yang said.
The CSI300 index rose 0.6 percent, to 3,256.98 points at the end of the morning session, while the Shanghai Composite Index gained 0.4 percent, to 3,098.28 points. Continuación...

This is a beautiful ring set,simple and different
This ring set caught my eye and I fell in love with it immediately! Couldn't wait to get it in the mail. When i did receive it I was very happy with it. The diamonds on the side of the black diamond are a little cloudy but that is because they are layed next to a black diamond and aren't set separately. Other than that,gorgeous rings!
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? Looked very similar to the image on the computer
- How accurate was the sizing? very acccurate
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. the diamonds are very sparkly and great quality sterling silver

text: What matters the most is that the user is satisfied with their purchase. I realize that you got a deal on the PC, and added things at your pace, & that's perfectly fine. Not everyone can get all that he/she wants at once. I can't myself. This is why I'm already saving for my next PC, a small amount of cash each month adds up over 3 & a half years, which is when I'll purchase my next one. As long as the PC is upgradable for expansion to meet the user's future needs, then that's good. At some point, if needed, the CPU can be upgraded to an i5, if not needed, that's good too. Dwayne, I hope that you're enjoying your PC, & that it will serve your needs for many years. Best of Luck, Cat

In April I slipped on food/water on the ground at a local casino here in arizona...i did fall and caused injury. I went to the hospital for the injuries. And now the casino is admitting fault. Ive been working with a rep from the casino who seems to be procrastinating. i need to know if I can handle this on my own or if its in my best interest in contacting a lawyer to assist me.
I know nothing about tribal law (except when it comes to custody and adoptions etc) or AZ law. However, a competent attorney in your area will.
It is always in your best interest to contact a competent attorney in your area to discuss any legal issue. Most times it is free to get some advice and learn a little about whatever the subject is. Most of us are nice people that want to help others and spend a lot of time dealing with difficult issues the rest of our neighbors hopefully will never have to think about.
An attorney may get you more money maybe not. If he is competent and well recommended he/she will tell you if it is worth his time and your money.

You likely can handle this case on your own. It sounds like you have a fairly small case with no permanent injuries. If that is true, you can attempt to handle the case yourself and save the one-third (or around there) fee you would have to pay a lawyer.
If your only problem so far is the rep procrastinating, I'd suggest being a bit more assertive. Call the rep more frequently for updates. Eventually they'll get your claim resolved.
However, you may want to consult with a lawyer in your area. Most good lawyers will give you a free consultation and may give you some suggestions on how to handle this case yourself. I'd suggest looking for lawyers who are members of the American Association for Justice (AAJ) or the Arizona Trial Lawyers Association (AzTLA). These are plaintiff lawyers who deal with these kind of cases all the time.Ask a similar question
It is in your best interest to consult or hire an Arizona personal injury attorney who is knowledgeable about the applicable negligence and premises liability law, the strategies and tactics the casino uses when handling these types of claims, the best ways to estimate your past and future damages accurately based on your medical records and other evidence available to you, and the most effective ways to negotiate with the casino.Ask a similar question
If you are dealing with a Native American tribe--and you certainly are if you're talking about a casino in Arizona--it behooves you to hire an attorney who is well versed in American Indian law. This is a very specialized and complicated area of the law, and also every tribe is a little bit different in terms of their statutes and generally how they deal with these issues. If they have contracted out their casino management to a non-tribal company--such as Harrah's--then you may get "lucky" in that you would be dealing with a private company rather than a sovereign nation, which is essentially what tribes are. If you are negotiating with the tribe directly and particularly if the "rep" with whom you are dealing is native, it will be more of an uphill battle to recover for your damages. Frankly, from past experience, I am a bit surprised that the casino is admitting any fault whatsoever. But, hey, if they are willing to work with you on a reasonable settlement, that is the best possible scenario (way better than trying to go to trial in a tribal court and deal with the "sovereign immunity" defense). And I wouldn't worry a great deal about the "procrastinating." There's a little thing called "Indian time," which just means that typically things move slower and people take more time to make decisions within a tribe or Indian reservation. Wishing you the best of luck.
