Is The Tech IPO Window Opening Up?
from the quietly... dept
For all the talk of the new bubble with sky-high valuations and VCs dumping money into web startups with no business models, there is some real concern among many that, without an open IPO market, there are going to be some big problems very soon. VCs can only serve on so many boards at one time, and without exits or failures, things get tricky. Many VCs are still sitting on a lot of money they want (or need) to invest, but they don't have the bandwidth to take on additional investments. Nothing is doing so poorly to be shut down, a few things are getting acquired, but very few are rushing to go public. While a few high-profile tech companies have pulled their IPOs at the last minute (GoDaddy, ClearWire) or failed miserably (Vonage), it appears that a decent number of companies are making it out. Of course, there are different ways to look at this. While IPOs may be nice "exits" for VCs (and, often enough, founders), the problem in the last bubble was that many of the companies going public weren't at all ready for it (and, in some cases, weren't even real businesses). Instead, it was just shifting all of the risk from the private markets to the public markets. More or less your garden-variety fleecing of less sophisticated investors. So fewer IPOs isn't a problem if the companies going out have reasonable fundamentals. However, one interesting thing is that the companies going out these days seem a lot lower profile. The article mentions that DivX went public last week, and Shutterfly went public today. Beyond the "oh, they're still around?" thought, the idea that Shutterfly (which came into being in the last bubble, and was started by SGI and Netscape's Jim Clark -- who, for a while was thought to be the King Midas of the tech industry), going public with barely a peep in the tech press is quite surprising. I guess it just doesn't compare to how many billions Facebook/YouTube/digg is going to be worth tomorrow. Of course, it's also worth pointing out that Shutterfly's stock rose in its debut, even after it priced at the top of its range. Perhaps investors like the lack of hype -- and the more solid fundamentals, like, you know, being profitable for a few years running.

Cancer treatment often affects a person's eating habits and nutritional needs. Although it is important for people with cancer to maintain a healthy body weight and eat nutritious foods, the side effects of surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy may cause a person to eat less and lose weight. On the other hand, some treatments may cause weight gain in some patients.
Nutrition recommendations during cancer treatment
Here are some general nutrition recommendations for people undergoing cancer treatment.
- Maintain a healthy weight. For many people, this means avoiding weight loss by getting enough calories on a daily basis. In people who are obese, this may mean losing some weight (moderately, only about a pound a week).
- Get essential nutrients the body needs, such as protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and water.
- Be as active as you can, such as taking a daily walk. If you sit or sleep too much, you may lose muscle mass and increase your body fat, even if you are not gaining weight.
Ways to get essential nutrients and manage a healthy weight
Dietary counseling may help people with cancer get the appropriate nutrients into their diet and maintain a healthy body weight. Ask your health care team for a referral to a registered dietitian (RD). You can also find a dietitian through the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
Dietitians and other members of the health care team work with people to meet their nutritional needs. In addition to dietary counseling, they may recommend the following:
- Dietary supplements, such as multivitamins and calcium
- Liquid meal replacements and nutrient-dense beverages and snacks
- Feeding tubes
- Parenteral nutrition, which means getting nutrients into the body in a manner other than through the digestive tract; for example, intravenous (IV) injection. This strategy is for those who are exceptionally underweight and not getting enough nutrition before cancer surgery, or for those whose digestive tracts are not functioning (as in people who have had parts of the stomach, pancreas, or colon removed by surgery).
Side effects and nutrition
Cancer treatment often causes side effects, such as nausea, mouth sores, and taste changes that may make it difficult to eat or drink. Follow these tips to help you get the nutrition you need:
- If water tastes unpleasant to you, take in more liquid though items such as soup or a sports drink. Or, flavor your water by adding fresh cut fruit.
- If food tastes bland, try seasoning it with flavorful spices such as garlic, cayenne, and rosemary.
- Eat several small meals throughout the day instead of trying to eat large amounts of food at one time.
- If meat is no longer appealing, get protein from foods such as fish, egg whites, cheese, and beans.
- Suck on mints, chew on gum, or try fresh citrus fruits if you have a metallic taste in your mouth.
- If you have mouth sores or a gum infection, use a blender to make vegetables and meats smooth. Try juicing.
- Use plastic utensils instead of metal ones if the metal ones taste unpleasant to you. Cook in glassware.
Some side effects can be treated with medication, so talk with your doctor or other member of the health care team for more information.
The use of dietary supplements
Low-dose dietary supplements (such as multivitamins) may be appropriate for people with cancer who are not able to get all of their nutrients through foods. Multivitamins are dietary supplements that contain generally all of the required daily vitamins, minerals, and trace elements; they may also contain some minerals such as calcium, magnesium, or iron. They are typically taken orally (by mouth) as a pill, capsule, tablet, liquid, or powder. Because high doses of specific individual nutrient supplements can be harmful, it is important to talk with your doctor if you plan to take individual supplements.
Questions to ask your doctor before taking any dietary supplement include:
- What are the benefits of taking this dietary supplement?
- What are the possible side effects of taking this dietary supplement?
- Are there risks to taking this dietary supplement?
- Can taking dietary supplements interfere with my cancer treatment (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy)?
- How much should I take and for how long?
- Where can I learn more about dietary supplements?
Read more about dietary and herbal supplements.
Food safety
People undergoing cancer treatment need to be aware of food safety, because cancer treatment may weaken the immune system and lead to an infection. An infection occurs when harmful bacteria, viruses, or fungi (such as yeast) invade the body and the immune system is not able to destroy them quickly enough. Here are some basic food safety tips to reduce the risk of infection.
- Wash hands before and during the handling and preparing of food.
- Wash your vegetables and fruit thoroughly before eating them.
- Handle and store food appropriately. For example, keep raw meat away from other foods when cooking.
- Eat thoroughly cooked foods. For example, do not eat eggs that are not cooked solid, and do not eat raw fish, oysters, or shellfish.
- Avoid drinking unpasteurized beverages, such as unpasteurized cider, raw milk, and fruit juices.
- Make sure food you purchase is not past its "sell-by" or expiration date.
Read more about food safety during and after cancer treatment.
Diet and nutrition after treatment
Although most nutrition recommendations include eating fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, the effect of specific dietary factors on cancer survival rates is not as well understood and is actively being studied. However, a healthy diet is important for cancer survivors because they may be at increased risk for other health conditions, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and osteoporosis (weakening of the bones).
To reduce the risk of other diseases, doctors generally recommend that survivors follow common recommendations for good health, such as eating a nutrient-dense diet, quitting smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, and staying physically active.

I think you guys are making thing way too complicated.
Here is why I got this error.
I had the normal Adobe Reader 8 but I found out that the new Adobe Reader 9 Pro has this OCR text recognition thingy which is the coolest thing ever for college student like me. Anyway, after I downloaded the trail and got the best out of it, it expired and left me with nothing
I am going to skip the next part because I end up uninstalling the Pro and then installing it again hoping I will get another 30 days (silly me) but from doing all this the 8 got all messed up.
Now, I competely got rid off the Pro and have 8 but it kept getting the above mentioned error. Here is how I fixed it because nothing worked from the previous posts:
1. I opened the .pdf file
2. I clicked on Help
3. Clicked on REPAIR ADOBE READER INSTALLATION
4...and magically everything works just fine again
I hope this helps to some of us.
Unfortunately the instructions did not work for me. I received this 'invalid plugin detected' immediately after I had installed CutePDF Writer. Obviously it has installed a plug-in somewhere which Adobe Reader is picking up on, it then terminates the program. I have uninstalled the programe and have tried to clean my Windows 7 operating system with CCleaner, all to no avail.
ADOBE this is not good news, so many hits on this in Google, you've messed up big time. The only way to get to my PDF documents is to get another PDF reader installed. I guess that is the last Adobe wants, so please get your finger out and sort this out.
I don't understand what this has to do with the Acrobat SDK.
It sounds like you've discovered an issue with the CutePDF product, not ours. Why don't you report the issue to their support staff?
Let me recap; Adobe Reader is not working and you suggest to let CutePDF know and provide a solution? CutePDF is working very well! Considering that more than 3 million queries were raised through Google on this very subject makes me wander whether Adobe actually realizes to scale of this problem.
I have resolved the issue by renaming the "plugins" directory to "plugins deleted" and then restarted Adobe Reader. It has rebuilt a new directory and the program works fine now. The option in the Help pulldown menu does not work for me.
You told me that Reader was working fine UNTIL you installed CutePDF. That would seem to imply that when they install their software it causes problems for us. I also know that users who do NOT have CutePDF installed don't see any such problems. Seems pretty clear where the problem(s) lie.
Also, be aware that without plugins installed, you have turned off a HUGE amount of functionality in Reader including the ability to properly view and interact with a variety of PDF files.
Wouldn't it be easier to use a proper Adobe Reader and a PDF creation tools that doesn't cause conflicts? There are other free PDF creation tools out there that don't have such issues...
I have met the same problem.
Our plugin is developed using SDK 7 and worked fine under Acrobat 7/8/9.
This afternoon we receive the certificate from adobe and then i use "SignPlugin" tool to sign our plugin.
The sign process is successful.
But when i start up Reader 9.2 it shows the error.....
Could somebody tell me why?
You need to use the signing tool in the Acrobat 9 SDK, since the Reader IKLA key is only valid for a single version of Reader (9, in this case).
Yes, we are using the signing tool in acrobat 9 SDK.
Should i build my plugin with acrobat 9 SDK?
For Reader, yes. For Acrobat, you can continue to use SDK 7 if you wish.
I have build my plugin with acrobat 8 SDK by VS2005.
And then run makemd32.exe return by adobe as the following steps:
Next i replaced my plugin's API_ENCRYPTED_DIGEST data segment by msgdig.rc.
Build my plugin.
Startup Adobe Reader 8,the same error appeared.
Also,the cert returned by adobe is 624 bytes and i noticed that it should be 554 bytes said by "Developing Plug-ins and Applications" in acrobat 8.1 SDK,
Is it OK?
For Reader 9 I see the helper below pointed by adobe.
http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9/Acrobat9_HTMLHelp/wwhelp/wwhim pl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?&accessible=true
As the doc mentioned,after I receive my cert i just need using SignPlugin.exe to sign my plugin,but that cause the "Plugin Hash Failed" error.
If i copy the dummy.rc & RIKLA-DigCert.rc content into my plugin's resource file,the signing process is successful.
But it can not load by reader 9.
Did i missing some keys?
That is correct, because the key you were provided is only for Reader 9. As described in the agreement that you signed to obtain the key, the key is only good for a single version of Reader.
But the agreement said that
"Reader" means versions 8 and 9 of the Adobe Reader software application, on any platform, if made generally commercially available by Adobe during the Term.
Even if the key is only for Reader 9, i signed my plug in conformed the way Adobe mailed me and it still can not be loaded.
OK - then you have a agreement for both. I haven't read them recently. It should then work.
I would contact support and check in with them...
We are urgent to resolve this problem for our customer need this product.
Has anyone tried this in Visual Studio 2010?
VS 2010 is not supported for development of plugins.
Thanks P-Jansen!
The solution from 'bulgariangirl' didn't work for me either, so I try the one from 'P-Jansen' and worked. Goto C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader and rename the [plug_ins] folder to [plugins deleted] (Maybe any name will do it, but I prefered to go with the sugested one.) Restart Adobe Reader and walla! Error is gone!
At least from the user point of view this quick fix works, however, for developers the root of the problem is not solved yet.
Excuse me. I don't know if my case is the same as the rest of people, but maybe It can be usefull to tell you. Two days after the mentioned error message appeared I was thinking a little about what I did on my PC just before the error began to manifest. I realized I just installed Babylon software (the trial version). Then I uninstalled it and all is right again. Good luck
I went to adobe file under reader deleted all plugin files. then went to control panel and opened program, clicked on aadobe and clicked on change and selected repair and all right plug ins are added. then the error did not show any more. this good luck
c:program files: adobe: rader' reader: plugin
As you see I am not technical, however I took the risk based on comments on this blog and it worked.
Good luck
thank you!!
I have the same case, but I didn't unistall the Babylon. I just removed the Babylon folder in
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\plug_ins
and the adobe reader works great!
Great!!!. That is better. Thank you very much. Tell me: ¿Does Babylon
work correctly?

After Install Acrobat Reader 9.3.3 in Hebrew I Got this message invalid plugin detected. Adobe Reader will quit
Last night I installed Babylon 8.0, Feedburner and Wordfst and after these actions I couldn't open my Adobe Reader 9.3.3 which functioned fine before these installations. I went to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\plug_ins and find that the main culprit for this was Babylon 8.0. Then I tried to remove it but every time I opened Babylon this folder recreated itself. I probably should have deleted it completely, i mean the whole program but I really need it so now I use one at the time and every time I have to move Babylon plug in to folder Optional or to delete it. It works only if Babylon is closed. Only then my Adobe Reader works. I have to say its really tiresome...
in response to: (Jittu_Sharma)
Nov 16, 2008 10:37 AM in response to: (bruce628) Re: the error "invalid plugin detected. Adobe Reader will quit"
I followed your instructions
"You can find these in the "plug-ins" folder. [C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\plug_ins]"
I finally found my culprit, I deleted one file folder at a time, then restored them from my Recycle Bin.
I finally found my culprit, in the folder "Babylon" the file "BabylonRPI" was the main culprit.
I deleted the whole Babylon file folder, and havent had the error "invalid plugin detected. Adobe Reader will quit" ever since.
Thank you very much kid, you kept it simple, I am not a Techie either.
It is very useful your info. I have not tried again. I have
uninstalled Babylon like you. I will not installed it until Babylon
repair this bug. I think that is the better to do.
Thank you

Thanks to VeloImages for the photos!
With four more striped jerseys to hand out, tomorrow is the final day of the 2011 UCI World Championships and you can bet that we'll see a climactic end to the past five days of racing, especially with the women's Keirin in the mix. The Madison is always fun to watch too — despite being a little bit tough to follow. Tune in on a FREE LIVE FEED at Cycling Fans. I think coverage should start around 6:30am Pacific Time.
Men's Kilo TT » Even though the Kilo is no longer an Olympic event (thanks UCI!), we still have some pretty powerful legs vying for the title of World Champion. I expect that Teun Mulder (Netherlands) should be able to defend his stripes but you can bet we'll see some damn close times coming from the likes of Stefan Nimke (Germany) and Francois Pervis (France).
Men's Madison » The Australian duo of Cameron Meyer and Leigh Howard are back to defend their World Champion stripes. If they perform as well as they did last year, I think they'll have it clinched. But watch out for the deadly Dutch combo of Peter Schep and Theo Bos who will be running off the cheers of their home crowd.
Women's Omnium » Kirstin Wild (France) is leading in the Omnium standings but there are still three more events to contest tomorrow — Individual Pursuit, Scratch Race and 500m TT. Tara Whitten (Canada) is trailing right behind Wild in points and I still think she'll get back on top to defend her World Champ title.
Women's Keirin » This will be a great tournament to watch and probably the highlight of tomorrow's events. We've got some heavy contenders like the one and only Victoria Pendleton (Great Britain), Shuang Guo (China) and Kristina Vogel (Germany). Lithuania's Simona Krupeckaite will be looking to defend her World Champion title but there's just one problem — the new queen of sprints Anna Meares (Australia) who already outpowered Krupeckaite in the Match Sprints earlier today. Does Meares have what it takes to win the Keirin as well? I'm not sure but if she does it I will certainly be impressed. Get ready for some exciting Keirin races tomorrow.
Men's Keirin
A perfectly timed victory from Shane Perkins, robbing Chris Hoy of the World Champion glory in the exciting final round.
1 - Shane Perkins (Australia)
2 - Chris Hoy (Great Britain)
3 - Teun Mulder (Netherlands)
Women's Sprint
Anna Meares wins her first World Champion title in the Sprint with truly impressive form. The victory brought tears to her eyes at the podium.
1 - Anna Meares (Australia)
2 - Simona Krupeckaite (Lithuania)
3 - Victoria Pendleton (Great Britain)
Men's Omnium
Michael Freiburg earns Australia's third Gold medal of the day with a win in the Omnium Scratch race.
1 - Michael Freiberg (Australia)
2 - Shane Archbold (New Zealand)
3 - Gijs Van Hoecke (Belgium)
Women's Scratch Race
Brilliant race tactics from Marianne Vos. She joined a late breakaway with a group of 5 or 6 and then left them all behind on the bell lap.
1 - Marianne Vos (Netherlands)
2 - Katherine Bates (Australia)
3 - Danielle King (Great Britain)
Complete results and times can be found at Tissot Timing and watch the video highlights from Universal Sports.
Awesome climax to the men's Sprint tournament today as well as a breathtaking performance from Sarah Hammer in the Individual Performance. I'm ready for more track racing! Don't forget, you can find FREE LIVE FEEDS over at Cycling Fans.
Men's Keirin » Even though he didn't get the sprint, Chris Hoy (Great Britain) truly is a force to be reckoned with in the Keirin. That's why he's the reigning World Champion. I see a lot of powerful legs on the starting list — i.e. Teun Mulder (Netherlands) and Shane Perkins (Australia) — but I think Hoy's still got this one.
Women's Match Sprint » The real question here is not who will win but who will lose to Anna Meares (Australia). She shouldn't have much trouble taking care of current World Champ Vicky Pendleton (Great Britain) in the semi-final and then move on to face either Olga Panarina (Belarus) or Simona Krupeckaite (Lithuania) for the final. Even though Panarina had the fastest qualifying time (tied with Meares — now that would be a good match-up), I think Krupeckaite's wealth of experience in this race will get her to the final with Meares. Should be a really exciting tournament!
Men's Omnium » France's boy wonder Bryan Coquard is on top after three events. There are still the Individual Pursuit, Scratch race and Kilo to be contested and it won't be easy to hold off contenders like Shane Archbold (New Zealand) and Elia Viviani (Italy).
Women's Scratch Race » Defending World Champion Pascale Jeuland (France) is scheduled for this race but I think she might hold something back to reserve strength for the Omnium. In any case, former Keirin champ Jennie Reed (USA) will probably take it with that powerful jump just waiting for the right moment to be unleashed. But watch out for Marianne Vos (Netherlands) and Giorgia Bronzini (Italy).
Women's Omnium » Tara Whitten (Canada) is wearing the stripes right now and I don't think she's ready to give them up. Her main rival in the Omnium will probably be Sarah Hammer (USA). Tomorrow we'll see the first three events: Flying Lap, Points Race and Elimination race.
Men's Points Race
The pace was fast but still Avila Edwin Alcibiades from Colombia was able to take a lap on the field. Not even Cam Meyer could answer to that.
1 - Avila Edwin Alcibiades (Colombia)
2 - Cameron Meyer (Australia)
3 - Morgan Kneisky (France)
Women's Individual Pursuit
Sarah Hammer played it smart and counted on her Omnium training for a final surge in the last couple of laps to take the win.
1 - Sarah Hammer (USA)
2 - Alison Shanks (New Zealand)
3 - Vilija Sereikaie (Lithuania)
Men's Sprint
Kenny beat Hoy in the semi-finals and then Bauge made Kenny look like a grandma pushing her walker to the Sunday matinee. Now that's raw power.
1 - Gregory Bauge (France)
2 - Jason Kenny (Great Britain)
3 - Chris Hoy (Great Britain)

Men's Points Race » Last year Cameron Meyer (Australia) lapped the field twice in to take the World Champion title. What a beast. I don't think he'll have any trouble repeating the performance. His biggest threat from the field will probably be Peter Schep (Netherlands) who will be eager to impress his home crowd.
Women's Individual Pursuit » Sarah Hammer (USA) is the current wearer of the stripes and she also holds the World Record which was set at the Pan American Games last year. Looking at the starting list, I'm not sure there's anyone who could hold a candle to that. I think Hammer's got this on in the bag.
Men's Match Sprints » Kevin Sireau (France) was knocked out of the sprint tournament in a huge upset today in the 1/8 finals. He couldn't even make it back in the repechage round. So we're left with an interesting semi-final. In side of the tournament, the fastest of the French — Mickael Bourgain and reigning World Champ Gregory Bauge. On the other side, the Brits — Sir Chris Hoy and Jason Kenny. Now this should be interesting! Will each country choose a man to go to the final or will the semi's go fair-and-square? I'm predicting that Bauge and Hoy will face off in the final and if it comes to that, I'm not sure Hoy's got what it takes.
Women's Match Sprints » World Champion Victoria Pendleton (Great Britain) might be the queen of the sprint but her rival Anna Meares (Australia) has made it clear that there's a new lady in the house. Also watch out for Simona Krupeckaite (Lithuania) and Shuang Guo (China). Tomorrow we'll see who makes it to the semi-final round.
Men's Omnium » With current World Champ Ed Clancy (Great Britain) out sick, the Omnium is up for grabs. Tomorrow we'll see the first three rounds of the Omnium: the Flying Lap, Points Race and Elimination Race. I predict that the main contenders for the stripes will be Zach Bell (Canada), Shane Archbold (New Zealand) and the youngster Sam Harrison (Great Britain).
Women's Team Pursuit
I gotta say I did not see this coming. The British trio really shined today, clocking the best qualifying time and easily beating USA in the final.
1 - Great Britain (Laura Trott, Wendy Houvenaghel, Danielle King)
2 - United States (Sarah Hammer, Dotsie Bausch, Jennie Reed)
3 - New Zealand (Kaytee Boyd, Jaime Nielsen, Alison Shanks)
Women's Team Sprint
Meares and McCulloch looked so calm and collected during the final round compared to the huffing and puffing British sprinters.
1 - Australia (Anna Meares, Kaarle McCulloch)
2 - Great Britain (Victoria Pendleton, Jessica Varnish)
3 - China (Shuang Guo, Jinjie Gong)
Men's Individual Pursuit
Jack Bobridge wins with a time of 4:21 which just goes to show how different velodromes can yield different results.
1 - Jack Bobridge (Australia)
2 - Jesse Sergent (New Zealand)
3 - Michael Hepburn (Australia)
Complete results and times are available here and check the video highlights from UCI Channel.
The first day of competition at the World Championships was a good warm-up for what's to come. Tomorrow's schedule features events that have each had new World Records set within the past year. Will records fall again?
Women's Team Pursuit » Australia are the reigning World Champions in this event but if anyone can tear that title away from them it's Sarah Hammer and the USA team who set a new World Record in this event during the Pan American Games in Mexico last year.
Women's Team Sprint » Australia's Anna Meares and Kaarle McCulloch set a new World Record at last year's World Championships. They are the undisputed queens of the Team Sprint and the real question isn't whether or not they'll keep their stripes but if they'll set a new World Record tomorrow.
Men's Individual Pursuit » Last year's World Champ Taylor Phinney (USA) is too busy with his road career to play around on the track. You can thank the International Olympic Committee and UCI for removing the Individual Pursuit from the Olympics program but that doesn't mean this event has come to a stand-still by any means. Jack Bobridge (Australia) made huge headlines last month when he smashed the ultimate IP World Record and broke Chris Boardman's 1996 Superman position record. Can anyone top that?
Women's 500m TT
Sandie Clair was so upset when Panarina — last rider to ride, and she was even down in the first lap — stole the victory by less than 3 hundredths of a second.
1 - Olga Panarina (Belarus)
2 - Sandie Clair (France)
3 - Miriam Welte (Germany)
Men's Team Pursuit
As expected, Australia's wonder team defended their World Title and they made it look so damn easy!
1 - Australia (Jack Bobridge, Rohan Dennis, Luke Durbridge, Michael Hepburn)
2 - Russia (Alexey Markov, Evgeny Kovalev, Ivan Kovalev, Alexander Serov)
3 - Great Britain (Steven Burke, Sam Harrison, Peter Kennaugh, Andy Tennant)
Women's Points Race
Another upset from Belarus as Tatsiana Sharakova was the only rider able to take a lap on the field.
1 - Tatsiana Sharakova (Belarus)
2 - Jarmila Machacova (Russia)
3 - Giorgia Bronzini (Italy)
Men's Scratch Race
This race was crazy. Ho Ting Kwok came out of nowhere with a huge attack and left everyone dumbounded.
1 - Ho Ting Kwok (Hong Kong)
2 - Elia Viviana (Italy)
3 - Morgan Kniesky (France)
Men's Team Sprint
The Germans weren't looking so hot in the final round so the French powerhouse trio took the World Championship title with no problem.
1 - France (Michael D'Almeida, Gregory Bauge, Kevin Sireau)
2 - Germany (Rene Enders, Maximilian Levy, Stefan Nimke)
3 - Great Britain (Matt Crampton, Sir Chris Hoy, Jason Kenny)

By Michael Shepherd firstname.lastname@example.com
Staff Writer
AUGUSTA – Maggie Stokes, an Oakland fifth-grader, told lawmakers Monday that she's seeing the effects of stretched school budgets in the classroom.
Education Commissioner Stephen Bowen testifies Monday in favor of the state's plan to have local districts pay a portion of teacher retirement costs.
Andy Molloy/Kennebec Journal
"A few of the plastic chairs we have are broken," she said. "Others are chipped and damaged and everyone is careful where they sit so they don't get hurt."
Stokes helped set the tone of a hearing before the Legislature's Appropriations and Education committees on changes to education funding in Gov. Paul LePage's proposed two-year budget.
Getting the most attention, however, was a proposal to shift some of the liability for teacher retirement costs from the state to school districts.
About 70 people signed up to testify, according to the committee clerk, and the afternoon hearing ran into the evening.
The proposed retirement change would shift nearly $29 million of the state's $201 million in teacher retirement obligations -- now paid fully by the state -- to districts, which are supported primarily by property taxes. Half of the shift would be offset with a $14.5 million increase in general purpose aid.
"The state made a promise decades ago to fund (retirement contributions)," said Lewiston Mayor Robert MacDonald. "Simply put, the state needs to honor its promise to teachers and community."
But according to Department of Education spokesman David Connerty-Marin, "the choices are: Do the retirement shift, find the $14.5 million some other way," or convince the Legislature to look outside the department for cuts.
LePage's budget proposes essentially flat-funding general purpose aid to Maine schools at approximately $895 million in each of the next two years. That would mean keeping education funding at the level reached earlier this year after a LePage-proposed curtailment order reduced the level by $12.6 million.
At the same time, the LePage proposal would suspend revenue sharing to municipalities, which would cost communities just under $200 million over the two-year period.
Sanford Superintendent David Theoharides said the changes could add up to about a $1 million hit against his York County school district.
"I anticipate I will have to cut 25 teaching and staff positions, significantly reduce our athletic program, eliminate technology purchases for our high school and curtail all of our after-school busing," he said.
Theoharides was among the education advocates who told lawmakers that the retirement change and other proposals amount to a large cost-shift to municipal taxpayers.
Legislative Republicans and the governor's office have defended the proposals, saying they ask cities and towns to exert local control to find efficiencies.
The Maine Department of Education released estimates Monday of how each school district would be affected by the retirement changes. The impact on individual districts varies based on equalized property tax rates, meaning districts that need more support get it, according to the department.
Connerty-Marin said the current system that has the state bearing all retirement costs amounts to taking money from the poor to give to the rich.
The state argues that districts that would receive no state help with the cost of retirement contributions under LePage's plan -- such as the Wells-Ogunquit Community School District in York County -- can afford to bear the cost more than RSU 68, which serves four towns in rural Piscataquis County, for which the state will continue to pay the entire obligation.
"Because the state currently funds these retirement costs for every school district in Maine regardless of their local funding capacity, it was felt that (sharing the cost) and providing state support through the funding formula is a fairer way of achieving needed savings," said Education Commissioner Stephen Bowen at the hearing.
In many cases, the proposed cost shift to local taxpayers would be less pronounced than expected, based on the data released Monday.

Con-way Truckload, Joplin, Mo., recently held a special recognition event to honor driver Bill Compton for surpassing 4 million miles of driving for the company. He's been with the company (formerly Contract Freighters Inc.) for 33 years."Bill is the Cal Ripken of drivers," said Saul Gonzalez, president of Con-way Truckload, referring to the former Baltimore Oriole who set a major league baseball record for consecutive games played. "His loyalty and dedication is the gold standard, not only for Con-way drivers, but the entire industry."
To put Compton's feat in perspective, consider that if a person drove that distance in their car, they would need to change the car's oil 1,333 times. "I drive a truck for a living. I like my job. I never thought about reaching any milestones," Compton said. "For 33 years, Con-way has treated me and my fellow drivers like family. I hope that my reaching this milestone serves as an example of how important it is for drivers to choose a company that values them every day."The event was attended by Douglas W. Stotlar, president and CEO of Con-way Inc.; Saul Gonzalez, the current president of Con-way Truckload; and former Con-way Truckload Presidents Herb Schmidt and Glenn Brown.
"Bill outlasted Glenn and me," remarked Schmidt. "The way he's going, he'll be logging miles for Con-way long after Saul retires as well."
Way to go Bill, that's an awesome accomplishment. I'm a conway driver from the LaSalle illinois terminal ( XLA )
Congrats that is a great accomishment. I'm a conway truckload driver and a former cfi driver as well

If your dog barks, don't stay here! – Yes La Quinta takes dogs, however if your dog barks, don't stay here! While at a conference I received a call from the manager telling me I needed to return NOW and quite my dog. I stressed to him I was stuck at a conference for another hour and could not get back before then. He threatened me that he was going to call Animal Control and tell them they had an "unruly dog" in the room and they need to remove it. As a pet owner, can you imagine? I asked him how he could say that considering she was not tearing up anything and once the hallway was quite she would stop, if she heard knocking outside the door she would as most dogs do bark. He was mean, told me I was irresponsible and could just check out. Come to find out, the barking dog causing the problem was not mine... it was the room across the hall which I found to be the case when I'm in my room with a quite dog and received a call while the dog across the hall was barking! I will NEVER stay at a LaQuinta again!

How can I help my kids deal with their dad's illness? Some say to keep things as normal as you can, but I feel nothing is "normal" anymore.
Christina Bach, Oncology Social Worker at Penn Medicine responds:
I know it is really hard to maintain normalcy after a cancer diagnosis---especially with your children. I talk to my patients a great deal about recognizing and understanding the concept of a "new normal--" i.e. what life WITH cancer (and treatment and uncertainty and anxiety) may look like.
Its important to help your children express their emotions about what is happening with their dad; but also to allow them to continue to be children.
You can get great resources about kids coping with cancer:
It also may be very helpful to connect with other patients with kids who are going through similar issues.

What is Horse Dry Skin?
As horses and ponies get older, they require higher nutrition and can become less tolerant to deficiencies in the diet than younger horses. The skin is usually the first organ to reflect strain, or a lack of nutrients. It can become dry and not produce enough grease on the surface of the skin (the horse body's natural way of lubricating hair follicles and keeping the skin moisturized).

Hello people !!
I am trying develop a ray tracer in GLSL. I have already implemented shadows and phong. I am working with spheres and planes only. Now when i was implementing reflections i am having strange problem in which i get proper reflections of sphere in the plane, but when it comes to plane's reflection in spheres and mutual reflection on spheres it only produces some kind of noise.
Interesting fact is that shape of this noise is exactly same as reflection's should be. I cant figure out the problem despite of too much efforts in debugging….please help !!

Bought this and it's way cute and comfy. I did size up though for a more "slouchy" fit.

Hello. My name is Jeremy and I am addicted to Magic.
No, not coin tricks and illusions like David Blaine, but Magic: The Gathering collectible card game and its various iterations. I have told plenty of stories previously about how I was late to the game and only discovered the wonderful world of Magic a few years back, so we won't go over old topics. I have tried all sorts of collectible card games in my lifetime, especially since developing and affinity for Magic, but none of them have really clicked with me the way Wizard's classic game has. That is, until now. Recently I was introduced to Might & Magic: Duel of Champions and I think that it is safe to say that I have found my new addiction.
Duel of Champions is a strategic (virtual) card game from Ubisoft that is set in the Might & Magic universe. The game is scheduled to be released on the PC later this month with an iPad version following soon after; cross platform play will be supported once both versions have launched. The game uses a lot of mechanics similar to Magic but builds and expands on them in a way that crafts an experience all its own. Those familiar with Wizard's game will find it easy to slide into the world being crafted here, but I think you will soon discover that it isn't as easy to get up and leave.
The concept is actually pretty simple and reminds me a bit of a more complicated version of the classic children's card game War (or 1-2-3, War as I have also heard it called). Imagine playing War and having the ability to suit up your 3-card with new weapons and gear that will make it put up a fight against that 10 your opponent keeps playing. You will pick a hero and then proceed to build an army of monsters and spells around him for protection. The first player to reduce their opponent's hero to zero life points wins. With each of your turns, you can draw resources from your Hero's abilities and then use them to play a variety of spells or creature cards onto the battlefield. Resources increase with every turn of the game, which sort of makes things more intense the longer that they go.
In addition to resources, there are also Might, Magic, and Destiny traits that must be managed on your hero in order to play cards. Cards require both a certain amount of resources and a certain affinity in one of those three categories in order to be played. You can only draw upon your hero for resources or to increase their affinity in a category once per turn, but you can play as many cards as your pool of resources allows.
Instead of placing cards anywhere, there is a 4x2 grid that you have to use strategically, as throwing any card down anywhere will lead to a quick demise. This is because there are different classes of creatures that you can play, including ranged, melee, and flying creatures. Ranged and flying creatures will receive strategic advantages to being placed in the back row of your playfield, enabling them to put their flying and distance-attack mechanics to use over the up-close melee fighters that populate the front row.
Once a creature is on the field, they can do one of two things: move or attack. Moving allows you to shift them around to another open position on the battlefield; this could be to set a well-planned block for your hero or to bypass your opponent's defense on the next turn. If you don't move your creature, you can then initiate an attack. Attacking creatures inflict damage on cards located directly in front of them; creatures have their own life points which are reduced upon being attacked and reducing a card to zero removes them from play. If there aren't any cards in front of them, that damage is dealt directly to your opponent's hero, taking you one step closer to victory.
This sounds simple enough, and it really is, however the literally hundreds of other cards in the game will add twists and changes to these rules as you play. While things start of a bit slow, they will soon proceed to an incredibly fast pace that makes the games (or battles) frantic and exciting. This can be in the from of direct magic spells, event cards that alter the entire game's scenario, and fortune spells that help with the accumulation of resources. It would take a lot of time to explain all of the mechanics that tie into the overall experience, which is something that I can't and won't try to do here. Know however that the game has a very well-crafted tutorial built into the early stages of the campaign which will help ease new players into this engulfing world.
The joy of Duel of Champions is that it in addition to being incredibly fun and addicting, the development team has done a good job at blending both the on- and offline experience. The campaign is robust and enjoyable, but you have to be willing to spend time in the multiplayer realm if you want to get everything out of the game. There are times when you cannot proceed in the single player story until you have completed versus-battles against either AI or human-controlled players and vice versa. It sounds limiting but actually helps to keep the gameplay experience fresh. I found myself forced to head into multiplayer at one time with the intention of doing what I had to do and going back to the campaign; three hours later I was still facing off against people online.
The game is free to play, but don't let that turn you off. Too often companies take the free to play concept and transform it into pay to win. Yes, you can throw down some real-life coinage to improve your card selection and deck variety, but that is only if you don't want to wait to earn them in the game. Playing through the game with simply its free decks and cards will earn your virtual currency that can be spent at the in game store in lieu of real money; there isn't anything that you can buy with cash that you can't buy with the virtual money you earn in the game. It is pretty generous too as you earn quite a bit just by battling it out on your own and the pricing of the additional content is pretty reasonable. As for what is actually up for sale, the choices range from packs of cards of various sizes and pre-made decks that play into different themes.
I highly recommend that collectible-card-game fans and fantasy fans in general check out Duel of Champions for two reasons: one, its free, so what do you have to lose? Secondly, it is a really fun game that might surprise you both in its quality and its depth. The developers have done a great job of not only crafting an excellent game, but also at easing players into the experience and making the world entertaining and one that sucks you in and refuses to let you go. With a lengthy campaign, a friendly user base, and community tournaments and support that look to keep it fresh for along time to come, this is one experience that you don't have to spend money on, but will do so because you will want more. Now, if only they can figure out how to produce this as a real-life collectible card game, then they can have
of my money.
You can find out more about Might & Magic: Duel of Champions at the game's
official website
and look forward to its official release later this month.

A group of late-Pleistocene to Holocene cinder cones lies on the Teslin Plateau in NW-most British Columbia, east of Atlin Lake. The largest volcanic feature is 1880-m-high Ruby Mountain (named for the brilliantly colored tephra deposits at its summit and flanks), which has been partially dissected by Pleistocene and post-Wisconsin glaciation. Two basaltic cinder cones at the heads of Cracker and Volcanic Creeks lie within glacially dissected U-shaped valleys and were considered to be of postglacial age (Edwards et al., 1996). Placer miners working in the region at the end of the 19th century reported an eruption from the Ruby Mountain area about 80 km south of Gladys Lake (Hickson et al., 1994; Edwards et al., 1996) during which ashfall was reported for several days and the miners were able to work at nights due to incandescent glow from the eruption. No field evidence has been found, however, for a volcanic cone or lava flow in the Atlin area young enough to have been the product of an historical eruption, and the report is considered uncertain.

I'm using the No Machine windows NX client to connect to an Ubuntu 12.04 server. In Ubuntu I have the keyboard set to English (UK) in System Settings > Keyboard Layout. In Windows 7 I have the location set to United Kingdom and keyboard English (United Kingdom). However when I log on to the Ubuntu server it seems I have a US keyboard layout.
Edit: I understand that NX defaults to a US keyboard layout if it doesn't understand the keyboard of either the client or the server. I've spent several hours looking for resolutions on Google, i.e. setxkbmap gb on the server. However doing that generates the message Error loading new keyboard description.
Edit2: When I tried using the onBoard on screen keyboard to get around the issues, most of the keys came up with question marks. The space bar contained the message "No X keyboard found, retrying...". Could this have something to do with why my keyboard isn't mapping correctly? The Ubuntu system is derived from the Rackspace Ubuntu 12.04 image with a GUI subsequently installed (I believe it's Unity).

Mark Hamill to voice The Joker in Arkham Asylum
Voice actor behind Animated Series Batman to do Caped Crusader.
Mark Hamill, aka Luke Skywalker, will play the voice of psychotic bad guy The Joker in upcoming Batman game Arkham Asylum, co-publisher Eidos has confirmed.
Hamill reprises his role from The Animated Series, as does Kevin Conroy, who's set to lend his vocal chords to the gruff tones of Batman himself.
Developed by London-based developer Rocksteady Studios, the brains behind 2006's PS2 and Xbox title Urban Chaos: Riot Response, Arkham Asylum features an original story plucked from the mind of Animated Series writer Paul Dini, and looks like it could be really rather good. We're promised a "Gothic, moody and extraordinarily detailed setting" and a "unique, dark and atmospheric adventure". Nice.
Batman: Arkham Asylum is due out summer next year on Xbox 360, PlayStation3, and PC.

Judging by his 'A' tours overseas hopefully he'll be good overseas as well. Got undone by a few good ones in South Africa but that's not a big enough sample size imo. Think he can cope with bounce, but it remains to see how he deals with pace and lateral movement.
He'll be helped as well by the fact the pressure will be off a bit as he has runs in the bank and won't get dropped straight away if he fails in the next overseas tour. Playing as he did before with so many stars and only really one place up for grabs there was no real chance for anyone to get a decent run unless it was Yuvraj.
I feel bad for Quiney. No batsman really deserves to average 3 after two matches.
I was happy that Quiney got a game, but I've always thought that the shorter formats were more his thing and I hope these three dismissals wont impact on his potential future ODI and T20 chances with the Australian team.
In the field Quiney has been very good and his bowling has been respectable for someone who doesn't bowl for his state - he certainly looks the part in the field, just a shame he didn't play and miss instead of nicking off.
Seeing as Shane Warne once said that Monty Panesar is playing his first test every time he sets foot on the park he hasn't done too badly in this game.
Pujara played in South Africa ftr. Didn't do much in his 3 innings but faced one of the best deliveries you will ever see from Steyn to be dismissed in one of them.

lovely red dress I brought this dress based on the reviews, however I had to return it because it fitted too snug. The dress is beautiful and well made but sadly I had to return it because of the fit. February 12, 2014
Pretty but Not Forgiving I bought this dress to wear at my friend's upcoming wedding right after Valentine's Day. The color is a beautiful red and the lace top with just a dash of sequin is enough to be elegant without being overdone. However, I can wear a size 6 or 8 depending upon the cut or style of Dress Barn dresses. I ordered this in 8 and the bust was too tight (I wear a 36 C bra). I would never be able to wear a bra, which is not really flattering, because it made the top even tighter. I found that the arm openings were also tight. I think if I went up a size, the dress would be too loose from the bust down. It fit my waist fine and was not tight on my behind but anyone purchasing this would definitely need slimming under garments because the knit material is not forgiving and does show "imperfections". Unfortunately, I will be returning this one. I am sorry it did not work for me. February 3, 2014
The dress was very pretty but the material was very clingy and I personally did not like that. February 2, 2014
This dress is stunning! It fits very nice. I purchased it to wear to a wedding and am so happy with the way it looks and fits. January 31, 2014
