Mobile Consumer Data: Protecting Privacy While Creating Value
Kevin Outcalt
There is no better medium to understand people's behavior than mobile. More than half (56%) of American adults now own a smartphone, according to Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project. They depend on their devices for communication, commerce, work and play. For marketers, having insight into a person or group's mobile activity is the Holy Grail for consumer research. Marketing messages and offers can become even more relevant and targeted to specific audiences.
Yet, having the ability to collect data based on mobile usage will no doubt have marketers facing increased scrutiny over data collection practices and consumer privacy concerns. Connected consumers are willing to share a wealth of personal information and companies with access to it must be sensitive to how that information is being used. So, how can marketers ensure they are committed to protecting privacy while providing increasingly relevant information and offers to benefit consumers?
We must educate consumers about the realities of mobile data collection including the fact that it doesn't have to be intrusive or negative and can provide significant benefits. In fact, there are two approaches to consumer data marketing: One is centered on individual-level insights and the other is on the demographic level. But, consumer privacy is at the root of both of these approaches.
Segment of One Mobile User: Trust, Relevance and Value
The more sophisticated technology gets the more precise it gets. That's especially true when it comes to marketing to the segment of one—or the practice of precision marketing. Today we can analyze massive amounts of data in near real-time giving brands the ability to maximize marketing spend and optimize offers and campaigns to provide a better overall individualized customer experience. In turn, this level of personalization can result in increased sales and customer loyalty. That said, in order to be successful in building consumer relationships, marketers practicing mobile precision marketing must focus on establishing trust by being transparent about how data is collected and used, allowing for opt out, and then delivering relevance and real value to the consumer.
If a company has a data collection or tracking solution in place, its customers need to be made aware of it. They need to know how their personal information is being collected, used and protected. Also, any solution must empower the consumer to opt-in or opt-out as they choose. It's important to note that some systems don't offer opt-in or opt-out features, which has led to much of the backlash.
For example, earlier this year a major retailer was under fire over its use of a service that used in-store WiFi connections to track individuals' in-store movements through their smart phones. Even though the tracking was anonymous, it still resulted in customers feeling violated. Hearing its customers' ire, the retailer stopped using the service. Consumers must have transparency over how their personal information is collected and used in order for precision marketing to be successful. This two-way agreement, where the consumer provides the information and the retailer in turn will use it to personalize communications to the individual, creates trust and value.
Marketers must also be conscious of, and sensitive to, privacy regulations as they vary by region, but that should not discourage their strategies. For example, Montréal, Canada has very strict consumer privacy regulations so it was interesting when Société de Transport de Montréal (Montreal STM) found that 60% of its customers completed the entire consumer 'profile' process that included several screens of personal preference and demographic questions. Why were the completion rates so high? The truth is that it's all about trust, relevance and value. People are willing to share a lot of personal information as long as they trust the receiving party and feel there is a valuable and relevant return. In the case of Montréal STM, the customers trust the entity and want to engage.
Segment of Many Mobile Users: The Value in Aggregate
Sometimes marketers are interested in looking at larger mobile populations to uncover trends. In some cases, market intelligence with fewer than 50 people is not even considered relevant. Until recently, marketers have been in the dark about accessing and using group-level mobile user behavior: Where are the mobile consumers? How do we reach them and with what kind of message? This highly valuable information has been locked up in mobile operators' networks for years.
There are solutions emerging that can extract that data in ways that are private, anonymous and in aggregate so that marketers can understand demographic-level mobile activity data for marketing intelligence.
Demographically-segmented population behavior in a mobile environment gives marketers the ability to tailor relevant advertising and promotions, develop products that are better targeted, and design sales efforts that have a better success rate. As technology maps a mobile user's general location, marketers can extrapolate that data on aggregate from mobile operator networks to understand traffic flows at a particular location, gain insights to make better decisions for advertising planning and placements or other promotions so they reach the most appropriate audiences.
Mobile network operators and marketers protect privacy through anonymity. With anonymized demographic-level data, marketers only know as much information as the first two digits of a mobile user's zip code and matching demographic information (e.g., age and gender). There is no personally identifiable information—no telephone number, name, address, social security number, credit card or financial information—of any kind. In essence, marketers would know that an 18-25 year old male from Chicago is the user of the device. While it seems vague on the surface, powerful analytics tools can extract and analyze various data sets to turn this big data into valuable knowledge and enhance decision-making.
For example, if a brand like Budweiser were to run an ad campaign for the Super Bowl, it would be very interested to know how mobile users are accessing and responding to its mobile ads. Are they seeing the ads as they're browsing their phone or going on Facebook. What apps are they using? What are the most common websites visited before and after they have been on the Budweiser site? By combining those insights with other data collected, the brand can make more informed and strategic decisions about how to best leverage mobile for its media and advertising campaign.
By having a deep understanding of the mobile marketing intelligence solutions they have in place, marketers are better positioned to do this while creating relevant, valuable campaigns. By leveraging precision and demographic-level marketing, they can better communicate with their customers by providing more relevant messages and offers. Marketers must reinforce privacy messages with consumers in order to gain their trust and subsequently their personal information so that they can transform the data into market insights helping to create loyalty and long-lasting relationships with customers.

As is with your Megaman Remixes
This one gets a 2 thumbs up for me. You used the right mix of instruments for your remix. Very enjoyable. Though I haven't played MM10, I can feel the gameplay with your music.
It does seem to mix most of the Megaman music, something switching from the Megaman X feel to the Classic tunes. Overall, quite a hyperactive song.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Best remixes ever
I love mega man remixes but could never find ones that really caught my attention, Keep up the good work, I wish you would remix every song in the mega man games.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
love it!
it sounds like its a cool little dance, not megaman music! love it!!!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Okay... so I can get no better Wily remixes from anyone but you. And this is no exception. From 1:00 on it's just awesome. Full of energy and build up and riddled with your signature sound fonts and runs. Adding to collection... now!

Six decades of failed peace efforts have left most Israelis (and Palestinians) deeply skeptical about the prospects for success.
The pattern is familiar - a new American president, faced with major difficulties at home and abroad, hopes that a Middle East peace breakthrough will help solve many of these problems. He squeezes the leaders of both sides, and as neither wants the label of "spoiler", they go along with the charade.
But the efforts fail, as core differences over history, religion (particularly in Jerusalem), borders and sovereignty remain insurmountable.
William Hague will visit Israel within the next month on his first official visit to the region as Foreign Secretary - and has been invited by Israel's own Foreign Minister to visit Gaza.
The exact date of Mr Hague's trip is dependent on the completion of direct talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, which are currently being planned.
Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman has suggested that Mr Hague also travels to Gaza as part of a group of European foreign ministers.
That raises the prospect of Hamas asking to meet the ministers during their visit.
A London-born, Oxford-educated Catholic who once trained to be a priest, or a Welsh-born, unmarried woman who is a self-confessed atheist?
That's the choice facing Australians - among them 110,000 Jews - this weekend in a federal election that polls predict will be a photo finish.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard, whose bloodless coup toppled Labor leader Kevin Rudd two months ago, is pitted against Tony Abbott, the Liberal Party leader once nicknamed the "mad monk" after a slew of brutish remarks.
The diplomatic relationship between Israel and Turkey continued to deteriorate this week in the wake of the Gaza flotilla raid, as the ambassador to Ankara was publicly snubbed. At the same time, Israel bolstered its ties with Turkey's rival neighbour, Greece, with a prime ministerial visit.
Israel's ambassador was not invited to a Ramadan "Iftar" supper hosted by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The Iftar meal was attended by all the ambassadors in Ankara but Israeli representative, Gabi Levy, was pointedly left out.
Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks has attacked David Cameron's description of Gaza as a "prison camp".
Lord Sacks said many in the Jewish community felt "dismay" about the Prime Minister's remarks and urged him to show more "balance" when discussing the conflict in the Middle East.
He made the comments when he addressed the congregation in St John's Wood Synagogue last Shabbat.
Community leaders are battling to stop an exhibition of paintings by children from Gaza being shown in schools in the North of England.
Campaigners say they have no objection to the paintings, but have reacted with anger at a series of talks given to accompany them.
Property developer Rod Cox, 62, masterminded the exhibition after visiting Gaza where children gave him paintings depicting their view of life there. Some show scenes of devastation.
It has become almost a cliché to say this but the last year and a half has been one of the calmest periods on Israel's borders, and in the statistics of casualty numbers quite possibly the calmest in its history.
Since the Gaza operation ended in January 2009, missiles from the Strip into Israel have lessened to a trickle, barely even a nuisance as almost all of them fall in uninhabited areas, quite often within Palestinian territory.
More than 1,000 people rallied for Israel this week in one of the biggest shows of solidarity with the Jewish state ever held in Western Australia.
The majority of those attending the launch of Friends of Israel Western Australia in Perth last Sunday were non-Jews, including dozens of local, state and federal politicians.
Chief among them was Foreign Minister Stephen Smith, who recently locked horns with Jewish community leaders over Israel's alleged forging of four Australian passports and the Gaza flotilla.
Crossbench peer Lord Hylton has called on the European Union to bar Israelis from entering Europe without a visa.
He tabled a motion asking for a House of Lords debate shortly before the summer recess, advocating a ban on Israeli goods being sold duty-free.
The motion calls for the Lords "to resolve that the EU should use its powers to prevent access to the EU without a visa by Israeli citizens and to remove duty-free access for Israeli goods if Israeli breaches of international law continue".
The Labour MP for Leeds North East, Fabian Hamilton, says it is becoming more and more difficult to defend Israel in the House of Commons.
The long-serving Jewish MP represents Alwoodley, Moortown and Roundhay, home to the majority of Leeds' 8,000 Jews.
He said: "Labour Friends of Israel is still quite strong, as are the Conservatives. But there is a stronger pro-Palestinian lobby too. Some of Israel's mistakes have really strengthened them.

I use iCloud file sync behind the scenes to keep instances of my Mac application in sync so I have the entitlement set for that. Unfortunately, this means that iCloud also appears as a possible save location when I invoke NSSavePanel.
Because my app does not generate files that are intended to be reused or reimported back into my app, I have no iCloud open panel. However my app does allow the user to export simple HTML or CSV reports. I don't expect a reasonable user to choose iCloud as their save destination when exporting reports in my app, but Apple has now flagged this as a reason to reject the app since they conceivably could do that and then those files are effectively stranded in the cloud.
How can I suppress iCloud from the potential options when the user goes to save a file?

Alpha Protocol Gets a Gravelly-Voiced Launch Trailer
Written Friday, May 28, 2010 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
Alpha Protocol's launch trailer is almost like the kind of promotional erm...trailer that you'd get for a movie, what with the gravelly voice-over and fast-cut action bits.
"In 60 seconds someone has to die" it begins and then we get to see agent Michael Thorton pounding a treacherous fellow's head into a bar, before pointing a gun at almost every single character thereafter.
It's a nicely put together trailer with explosions, intrigue and plenty of action all packed into just over a minute. How in the hell Thorton will dodge that speeding train though is anyone's guess.
"Time's up. Who's it going to be?" And the trailer ends. The answer? All of them!
Alpha Protocol is out in Europe today and is ready to deploy in North America on June 1st.

Clapton to Sell Richter for $20 Million, 20 Times Price
Eric Clapton is selling a painting by Gerhard Richter valued at $20 million -- almost 20 times what he paid for it in 2001.
The 1994 oil-on-canvas "Abstraktes Bild (809-4)" is one of a series of three Richter paintings bought by the U.K.-born rock guitarist for $3.4 million in total at Sotheby's New York in November 2001. At the time, this was an auction record for a lot containing abstracts by the German artist.
Executed predominantly in red, dark blue and yellow, the work is being re-offered by Sotheby's in London for its "Frieze Week" auction of contemporary artworks on Oct. 12. It has an estimate of 9 million pounds ($14.5 million) to 12 million pounds, according to a news release issued today.
Richter, 80, who works in Cologne in both figurative and abstract idioms, has become the world's most bankable living artist, dealers said.
When Clapton bought his painting, the average auction sale price of Richter's work was $461,910, according to the database Artnet. This year, his successful lots average $2.6 million, an increase of 44 percent on 2011, said an Artnet Artist Index Report.
The artist's highly decorative abstractions, often painted with a squeegee, have become particularly sought-after by wealthy international collectors. They have set seven of the 10 highest prices paid for the artist at auction.
Values have been boosted by the critical and popular success of recent retrospectives at Tate Modern, London, and the Pompidou Center, Paris, dealers said.
The auction record for the artist is the $21.8 million paid for the 1993 "Abstraktes Bild (798-3)" at Christie's International in New York in May.
Together with the other two that Clapton bought, the painting being sold was worth about a third of the $3.4 million price which included fees.

Research Interests
The long-term goal of research in the Haswell lab is to reveal the molecular mechanisms that underlie the perception and transduction of mechanical signals in plants. Many organisms sense and respond to mechanical forces, and one way in which this can be accomplished is through the activation of mechanosensitive (MS) ion channels.
Land plants provide a particularly relevant model system for the study of MS channels, as numerous MS channel activities have been identified in plant membranes, and they are implicated in a wide range of physiological processes. However, we do not know the molecular identity of the MS channels involved, nor how their activities might be regulated. To begin to gain insight into the plant mechanosensory apparatus, we have undertaken the characterization of ten Arabidopsis thaliana homologs of the bacterial mechanosensor MscS. We have discovered that plant MscS homologs are not simple safety valves, but are regulated channels with distinct and diverse roles at the organellar, cellular, and organismal level.
Three main projects in the lab are:
1. Structure-Function of Eukaryotic MscS Homologs
MscS homologs are widely dispersed among bacterial and plant lineages, are found in some fungi, but have not been identified in plants. Our investigations are beginning to reveal much how MscS-Like proteins from Arabidopsis have diverged from E. coli MscS with respect to structure, function and mechanisms of regulation. We have discovered that some motifs conserved between plant and bacteria are critical for function, while others are not.
2. MS Channels in the Plastid Envelope
Our studies on the plastid-localized Arabidopsis MscS homologs MSL2 and MSL3 has revealed how organelles use these proteins to respond to membrane stretch, how their activity is integrated into cellular signaling networks, and how mechanoperceptive strategies have evolved in multicellular plants. These results suggest that plant MscS homologs are not merely safety valves but regulated channels with multiple roles at the organellar, cellular, and organismal level.
3. Electrophysiology of Plant and Bacterial MS Channels
We have used single channel patch-clamp electrophysiology to characterize both E. coli MscS and Arabidopsis MSL10 expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes. These studies establish that MSL10 is indeed gated by membrane tension and its behavior in oocytes closely resembles an MSL10-dependent activity in Arabidopsis root protoplasts. Differences in the behavior of MSL10 and MscS may have implications for their respective roles in plant and bacterial physiology.

The crowds were enormous, lines horrendous, and the people camping out for the day at tables made it impossible to relax anywhere. We are not skiers, but signed up for over $400 worth of lessons for three people. One of us had 2 lessons of which 1 class was so crowded he couldn't hear the instructor. Our lessons were just as crowded and got nothing out of them. After the lessons we tried on our own and were screamed and cursed at by instructors that we were in the way. I don't know how, since we were so far from everyone that they actually had to come over to where we were to yell at us. NYE the place was absolutely empty and we decided to go tubing. Fun for about an hour. The resort did do a really nice torch parade and fireworks display on NYE. Between the lousy hotel we had to stay in down the road and the cost of the lessons/tickets this trip set us back way over $2,000 for three nights. So not worth it. Will not return.

In the image below, you can see two rectangles with some text inside. If you take a closer look you will notice a difference in spacing between lines. The spacing between the first and the second lines is smaller than the spacing between the second and the third.
The last line is always separated. If you have 10 lines of text, the spacing between all the lines will be OK except the spacing between the next to last and the last line of text. The font is the same (in every aspect) accross the lines (except the title), and there are no custom paragraph properties set.
Why does this happen and how to solve this?

The gym equipment was up to date. We had to wait about 30 minutes in the gym to get a key to use most of the equipment - the only member of staff was giving personal lessons which we eventually had to interrupt. The swimming pool and changing rooms were well maintained and clean. Unfortunately the jacuzzi was out of order on this day. The spa was ok - the person greeting us did not look happy to be there. We booked to have a back, neck and shoulder massage and a facial in the couples room. The therapists were both pleasant but the younger therapist could not stop laughing during both treatments. During the facials, there was lots of whispering and secret hand signals between the therapists which I found unprofessional and un-nerving. The treatments were good but would have been better if the therapists had acted professionally - separate rooms definitely better. The cafe food was enjoyable. Reasonably priced with fair portions.

I'm trying to get users to login with the [Force User Login] plugin, which by all accounts is a redirect to wp-login.php
I edited the (FUL) plugin so that instead of it being:
header( 'Location: /wp-login.php?redirect_to=' . $redirect_to );
it says
header( 'Location: /login/?redirect_to=' . $redirect_to );
This fails to find the login.
If I disable the FUL plugin and try the URL above then it works.
e.g. http://mysite.com/login/?redirect_to=/postname
This also works: http://mysite.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=/postname
Is there a way of having this plugin compatable with Forced User Login - or integrating a forced login int othis plugin so it's all contained and neat?

O lift progress
Heavy training session tonight and i FINALLY got a serious monkey off my back.
I've been trying to snatch over 83kg since last year, I've overpulled, underpulled and everything in between with 84, 85 and 86kg in comps and training.
Tonight opened with 84 (PR), 87X, 87 (PR)
Clean and jerk 104, 108 (PR) 113 cleaned (PR) but missed the jerk
so three PR lifts and a 6kg PR total, not bad after being up early with only a few hours sleep and some annoying shit going on at work.
Also down from 98 to 95kg tonight so next comp i'll be back in the 94's

A resource oriented framework
What's BEAR.Sunday
This resource orientated framework has both externally and internally a REST centric architecture, implementing Dependency Injection and Aspect Orientated Programming heavily to offer you surprising simplicity, order and flexibility in your application. With very few components of its own, it is a fantastic example of how a framework can be built using existing components and libraries from other frameworks, yet offer even further benefit and beauty.
Everything is a resource
In BEAR.Sunday everything is a REST resource which leads to far simpler design and extensibility. Interactions with your database, services and even pages and sections of your app all sit comfortably in a resource which can be consumed or rendered at will.
GET - Hello World
The resource class receive a named argument over the query parameters of the URL.
class Hello extends Page { public function onGet($name = "World") { $this['greeting'] = "Hello " . $name; return $this; } }
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <body> {$greeting} </body> </html>
Building a Hypermedia-Driven RESTful Web Service in 1 min
Hypermedia is an important aspect of REST. It allows you to build services that decouple client and server to a large extent and allow them to evolve independently. The representations returned for REST resources contain links that indicate which further resources the client should look at and interact with. Thus the design of the representations is crucial to the design of the overall service.
Create project
composer create-project bear/skeleton:~1.0@dev MyVendor.MyPackage
cd MyVendor.MyPackage
composer install
Create a resource class
<?php namespace MyVendor\MyPackage\Resource\App; use BEAR\Resource\ResourceObject; class Greeting extends ResourceObject { public function onGet($name = 'World') { $this['greeting'] = 'Hello, ' . $name; return $this; } }
That's all.
Test the service
Use the built-in PHP server.
php -S localhost:8080 bootstrap/api.php
Now that the service is up, visit http://localhost:8080/greeting, where you see:
"greeting": "Hello, World",
"_links": {
"self": {
"href": "/greeting"
JSON representation of a greeting enriched with the simplest possible hypermedia element, a link pointing to the resource itself:
Congratulations! You've just developed a hypermedia-driven RESTful web service with BEAR.Sunday.
Application execution sequence is scripted by the user-defined application script.
Application services are just stored in one object variable. You can access all resource of application with resources clients, easy use from plain PHP files or CMS and other frameworks as well.
Dependency injection
It is google guice style DI framework.
$this->bind(Annotations::class) ->to(FileCacheReader::class) ->in(Scope::SINGLETON);
public function __construct(Annotations $reader) { $this->reader = $reader; }
Aspect oriented programming
Many features of the framework are implemented as an aspect.
class WeekendBlocker implements MethodInterceptor { public function invoke(MethodInvocation $invocation) { $today = getdate(); if ($today['weekday'][0] === 'S') { throw new \RuntimeException( $invocation->getMethod()->getName() . " is not allowed on weekends!" ); } return $invocation->proceed(); } }
class RealBillingService implements BillingService { /** * @WeekendBlock */ public function chargeOrder() { ... } }
Weaving an Interceptor
$this->bindInterceptor( $this->matcher->any(), $this->matcher->annotatedWith('WeekendBlock'), [WeekendBlocker::class] );
RESTful Service
Resource object fusion resources and web PHP class.
Resource object
class Greetings extends AbstractObject { public function onGet($lang = 'en') { $this['greeting'] = $this->message[$lang]; return $this; } }
Resource client
use ResourceInject; $this->resource->get->uri('app://self/greetings')->withQuery(['lang' => 'ja'])->eager->request();

Still, Canadian businesses continue to underperform when it comes to innovation—a primary driver of productivity growth—when compared to other competing nations. The performance of business R&D is one oft-cited measure used to gauge the level of innovative activity in a country's business sector.

Canadians have reached top tier global performance in reading, mathematics, problem solving and science, and Canada has rising numbers of graduates with doctoral degrees in science and engineering.
This valuable resource of highly qualified and skilled individuals needs to be better leveraged.

Canada has an impressive record when it comes to research and the quality of its knowledge base.
Still, the innovative performance of Canada's firms and the productivity growth continue to lag behind competing nations.
The government is also committed to moving forward with a new approach to promoting business innovation—one that emphasizes active business-led initiatives and focuses resources on better fostering the growth of innovative firms.
Achieving this requires the concerted effort of all players in the innovation system—to ensure each does what one does best and to leverage one another's strengths.

Why a race? We need to change the way we see this!!! We need to open up. See the European Commission Horizon 2020 program
They are acknowledging that Europe cannot do it alone, and are spending money on International collaboration.
There is nothing about non-institutionalized innovation, i.e. open source! There is nothing about the public in this equation like the Europeans do in the Digital Era for Europe program
low taxes, strong support for new businesses, a soundly regulated banking system, and ready availability of financial services
reducing red tape
expanding training partnerships and improving access to venture capital.
Collaboration is key to mobilizing innovation
invest in partnerships between businesses and colleges and universities
See link http://actionplan.gc.ca/
But the public and in people is still not in sight of the fed gov.
Economic Action Plans (EAP) 2012 and 2013
provide incentive for innovative activity in firms, improved access to venture capital, augmented and more coordinated direct support to firms, and deeper partnerships and connections between the public and private sectors.

The town of Doneraile stands on the northern slope of Knockahur hill, which rises by a gentle slope from the river and gradually ascends to a rocky prominence. However, it was not this rocky prominence but one near the graveyard of Oldcourt which together with an ancient fort built thereon, gave the town its name, Doneraile, i.e. "Dún ar Aill", meaning "the fort on the cliff". The countryside around Doneraile is very scenic and has a wealth of historical associations.Doneraile (Irish: Dún ar Aill), historically Dunerayl, is a town in County Cork, Ireland. It is located on the R581 regional road 8 km east of the N20 road which runs from Limerick to Cork. It is about 12 km north of Mallow town. It is situated on the River Awbeg, a branch of the Blackwater.
Doneraile Development Association have recently launched its historical book of Doneraile "A Taste Of Doneraile". This reflects the history of Doneraile of the past few hundred years and is a must for anybody wanting to immerse themselves in Doneraile's History and Culture. All proceeds go to the development and growth of the greater Doneraile area and environs.

Sigma-Tau Pharmaceuticals is paying $5 million for European development and commercialization rights for Soligenix' treatment of acute gastrointestinal graft-versus-host disease (GI GvHD), orBec®. Soligenix could receive another $11 million if it meets certain milestones along the development of this Phase III-stage candidate.
The first milestone, a $2 million payment, will be made upon the successful completion of the confirmatory late-stage trial. Sigma-Tau will also pay Soligenix a 40% royalty on net sales pursuant to which Soligenix will supply the drug product while maintaining worldwide manufacturing rights. All commercialization expense in the European territory, including launch activities, will be borne by Sigma-Tau.
The Phase III trial for orBec, oral beclomethasone dipropionate (oral BDP), in acute GI GvHD will enroll an estimated 166 patients. The primary endpoint is the treatment failure rate at study day 80. The study is being conducted at transplant centers in the U.S., Europe, and Australia. OrBec is also in clinical development for the prevention of acute GvHD (Phase II) and treatment of chronic GvHD (Phase I).
Today's agreement builds on the companies' existing arrangement, which spans North America. "We expect the expanded Sigma-Tau collaboration will help us realize the full potential of orBec and oral BDP in the treatment of GI GvHD and other inflammatory GI diseases," states Christopher J. Schaber, Ph.D., president and CEO of Soligenix.
"We now have an experienced commercialization partner in the second major world market, and we are pleased with the robust royalty rates that we have garnered through this strong business relationship," Dr. Schaber adds. "This partnership will provide for the launch and commercialization of orBec in North America and Europe, without any further related expense to Soligenix or its shareholders. It also provides us with the potential for ongoing development funding across multiple indications for orBec® and oral BDP."

My webhost moved me to a new server this morning, requiring name server changes.
My website, http://www.officetally.com, is viewable, however, if I go to any of the site admin panels, parts of the functionality are missing.
- Write > Write Post: no place to enter text or save it. Screenshot
- Write > Write Page: see those extranenous lines of code indicating a problem. Screenshot
- Options > General: missing options. Screenshot
And so forth ... pretty much all admin screens have missing functionality. I did a 'view source' to see if the code was actually there, but it isn't.
I am using Mac OS 10.4.7, Firefox 126.96.36.199, WordPress 2.0. Plugins installed: Akismet, Democracy, iCal Events, Optimal Title, Paged Comments, PHP Exec, Subscribe to Comments, Votio, and Witty.
I noticed that deactivating some of the plugins would result in more admin functionality coming back, but not all of it.
Is this possibly a PHP memory issue, as documented at http://wordpress.org/support/topic/70146? If so, should I request 12MB max memory (or whatever amount I had on my old server) from my host, or more?
Or is it something else?
I also noticed that using the W3C Markup Validator produces an error message "500 EOF when chunk header expected," but don't know if the problems are related.
I'm at my wit's end, as I cannot add, edit, or delete posts, or change any of my settings.
Your insight is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
:) Jennie

Thai garment sector looks to diversify export markets
By Jonathan Dyson | 9 January 2013
Thai garment manufacturers are eyeing growth in Asian markets
Thailand's textile and garment industry is aiming to diversify its export markets as it faces a significant drop in demand from its key American and European Union (EU) customers.
Thai garment exports for 2012 are forecast to fall by 10% to US$2.8bn, while the country's textile exports for 2012 are expected to dip by 15% to US$3.5bn, according to figures from the Thai Garment Manufacturers Association (TGMA).
Exports to the US in 2012 are estimated to decrease by 10% and exports to the EU by a whopping 25%.
The US currently accounts for 35% of Thailand's textile and garment exports, and the EU 25%, according to the TGMA.
Yuttana Silpsarnvitch, executive director of TGMA, told just-style that the industry is now increasingly focused on selling to a wider range of markets.
"The US and EU will still be important, but we are looking to grow in other markets, especially in Asia, such as Japan, Korea, China, Hong Kong and in ASEAN [the Association of South East Asian Nations], to balance our market share," he said.
And indeed, Thailand's garment exports to Japan in the first 10 months of 2012 grew 12.8% on the same period last year, to US$280m, while exports to other ASEAN countries rose 7.9% to US$132m.
Silpsarnvitch said that Japan currently accounts for 12% of Thailand's textile and garment exports, but that the industry is aiming to increase this to 18% by the end of 2013.
"Japan is trying to source more beyond China due to the political issues between the two countries, and also the growing labour costs in China," he said.
ASEAN AEC benefits
He added that the Thai textile and garment industry is also keen to ensure it benefits from the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), a liberalised common market of ASEAN countries to be established from 2015.
Import duties for Thai textiles and garments, which are currently 5-10% in ASEAN apart from Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam where they are already 0%, will be eliminated in the AEC.
"Thailand is well-placed to export more to ASEAN countries," said Silpsarnvitch. "We can offer high-quality textiles and garments, and we are well located, in the centre of the region. Thailand is a logistical hub and distribution centre in the region."
The TGMA recently set up a new information service, called its overseas trade and investment centre, which Silpsarnvitch said is designed to provide members with information about how to develop more trade and investment with other ASEAN countries. TGMA has around 400 members.
Rising costs
Silpsarnvitch said that as well as the economic slowdown in the US and EU, increases in labour costs in Thailand are contributing to the recent fall in exports.
Wages have lifted significantly over recent years, and the minimum wage was increased by 40% in several regions on 1 April 2012. Further increases took effect on 1 January 2013, to bring the daily minimum wage across the country to THB300 (US$9.80).
"The biggest area in Thailand for garment production is in the north and north east," said Silpsarnvitch. "And wages there have gone up by about 100% over the last two years.
"Labour costs represent 20% of the total garment production cost, so overall costs have gone up a lot. This is a big problem, as customers have the choice to place their orders elsewhere in Asia."
Silpsarnvitch added that a shortage of labour is also an issue. Unemployment in Thailand is currently just 0.7%, and Silpsarnvitch said that workers are more attracted to the country's automotive and electronics manufacturers than the textile and garment industry because they can offer higher wages.
CLMV expansion
He added that to combat these difficulties, a growing number of large Thai garment manufacturers are shifting some production to Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam (given the group acronym CLMV in Thailand), with more than 20 Thai garment companies set to do so over the next two years.
"We're promoting this growing expansion into CLMV to customers, as it means the same product can be offered at a cheaper price," he said, adding that a further advantage of producing in Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar is that due to these countries being classified internationally as LDCs (least developed countries), garments produced there carry no import duties into the EU. Garment exports from Thailand to the EU carry a 12% import duty.
Silpsarnvitch said that the Thai garment industry will continue to focus on its three leading product areas - sportswear, lingerie and children's-wear.
He noted that a major advantage of the sector is the strength of Thailand's textile industry, which produces a wide range of fibres, yarns and fabrics for garments, as well as home furnishing textiles and technical textiles.
