Microsoft's ads, humor boost consumer opinion of IE
But tech fans still think less of the browser than does the general public
Computerworld - Microsoft's recent campaigns touting Internet Explorer 9 (IE9), including a tongue-in-cheek promotion it unveiled last week, have moved IE's quality perception needle for U.S. adults, according to a brand quality measurement company.
"When we see an inflection [in the quality scores], we look at other events that are happening," said Ted Marzilli, the global manager for BrandIndex, a brand awareness and consumer perception service of U.K.-based YouGov.
While BrandIndex does not gauge reaction to specific ad campaigns, Marzilli called Microsoft's marketing moves "a contributing factor."
IE's perception index is at its highest level since January 2011, said Marzilli.
Microsoft has been running national television ads for IE9 and a week ago kicked off a "browser you loved to hate" website and video. In the latter Microsoft poked fun at computer enthusiasts who obsessively uninstalled IE from friends' and family members' PCs.
The ads and self-deprecating humor seem to have won over some people.
From March 5-14, BrandIndex measured a 10-point jump in the quality perception rating of IE among U.S. adults, and a nine-point increase in the group that identified themselves as early technology adopters. By March 16, IE's quality rating was 50 among U.S. adults, 44 among early adopters.
Not surprisingly, IE's rating is regularly higher in the general population than it is among early adopters, who have long criticized the browser as behind the times.
Mozilla's Firefox, meanwhile, also saw a jump in its BrandIndex score, ending March 16 at 44 for early adopters, 28 for the general public. Unlike IE, Firefox's early adopter score tracks above that of the general population, belying its standing as a more flexible alternative.
"Early adopters and fast followers have a more favorable impression of Firefox than the general population," said Marzilli. "That's in tune with those who consider themselves advanced users, who are usually more eager to explore new technology, and may want to use a more obscure browser because that separates them from their peers."
BrandIndex measures browser brand quality by interviewing 5,000 U.S. adults 18 and older daily, pulling the people polled from a pool of about 1.5 million Americans. Scores range from 100 to -100, and are compiled by subtracting negative feedback from positive, meaning that a score of zero is equal parts positive and negative.
BrandIndex doesn't ask people their take on Google's Chrome.
It's difficult to assess whether the spike in perception that BrandIndex reported has translated into more IE users.
But according to Irish Web metrics company StatCounter, IE's U.S. usage share for the seven-day stretch of March 9-15 was 42.3%, eight-tenths of a percentage point higher than the seven days prior. Since March 15, however, IE's average daily share has dropped to 40.8%.
Firefox's U.S. share also moved slightly this month, hitting a seven-day low of 21.3% the same week that IE peaked.

He was a great coach, he certainly put Maryland Basketball on the map, way back when.. I remember speaking to someone from the West coast (UCLA) who knew nothing about Maryland Sports except the name "Lefty Driesell" and that was when they had John Wooden as coach. hahaha. Thanks for the memories and the "UCLA of the East", loved you then and love you now!

Versatile Timing Platform for Next-Generation Wireless, Power Grid & the Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure
San Jose, CA (PRWEB) July 09, 2014
Qulsar, Inc., a provider of embedded time synchronization solutions, today announced the release of its next generation Managed Timing Engine (MTE) 6X series platform. This plug-and-play platform meets the exacting synchronization requirements of 4G LTE wireless networks, smart power grid and the Internet of Things markets.
Mobile technology standards, such as TD-LTE and LTE-Advanced, continue to drive the need for precise timing. The next generation 4G LTE infrastructure relies on higher precision timing to efficiently handle an increasing traffic load over a finite spectrum and mitigate interference, thereby improving the quality of service. The growing sophistication and deployment complexity of HetNets and small cells, inherent in next-generation networks, places a burden on network operators to deploy ubiquitous, precise time synchronization. Environmental factors such as urban canyons and indoor coverage challenges require the capability to derive timing from multiple timing inputs (such as GNSS/GPS, IEEE 1588 PTP and Synchronous Ethernet) for a robust solution.
Until today, time synchronization solutions have remained fragmented in their approach, without the flexibility to handle the rapidly evolving changes in mobile network architectures. Qulsars MTE is a versatile synchronization solution that meets the requirements of network architectures which are deployable in multiple scenarios.
"Higher precision synchronization requirements must be supported across packet backhaul networks deployed to roll out 4G LTE-Advanced. This is neither easy nor a given on most packet networks without careful engineeringand this is driving the need for an evolved sync architecture, stated Michael Howard, Principal Analyst, Infonetics Research. Qulsar's Managed Timing Engine platform is an innovative approach to solve these issues in a more robust way over many distinct network designs. Mobile network operators and backhaul transport providers will want to examine this new technology embedded in the backhaul products they evaluate for future purchases."
As we continue to optimize phase delivery for 4G LTE networks, our versatile, low power and cost effective, Managed Timing Engine solutions are ready to meet operators' evolving need for precise timing in next generation mobile networks, said Rajen Datta, President and CEO of Qulsar, Inc.
Qulsars Managed Timing Engine products are available for immediate shipment worldwide.

Bain Capital invested in a series of firms that outsourced jobs during the time Mitt Romney was involved with the company. According to a report in the Washington Post, the companies Bain invested in specialized in outsourcing jobs to low-wage countries such as China and India.
Romney has in recent months criticized President Barack Obama for allowing American jobs to be outsourced.
"They've been able to put American businesses out of business and kill American jobs," Romney told workers in February, according to the Post. "If I'm president of the United States, that's going to end."
But according to the report, Bain under Romney was involved at the beginning of the trend toward outsourcing, when the process began to accelerate.
Among the companies Bain invested in was Corporate Software, Inc., a company that built overseas call centers for companies like Microsoft.
The Post also reported that Bain encouraged companies it invested in to take advantage of the outsourcing trend.
The Obama campaign ripped Romney's record, Obama adviser David Axelrod said in a tweet that Bain's actions under Romney amounted to "breathtaking hypocrisy." In a conference call with reporters, Axelrod expanded on his statement.
"It's particularly egregious when you try to repackage yourself as someone who's going to be tough on countries that you sent jobs to," Axelrod said.
The Romney campaign tried to limit the damage. Romney spokesperson Andrea Saul said that the report was "fundamentally flawed," because it "does not differentiate between domestic outsourcing versus offshoring."
Offshoring jobs does not necessarily mean an American job was lost in the process. It just means that jobs were created overseas, rather than in America.
Saul added, "Mitt Romney spent 25 years in the real world economy so he understands why jobs come and they go."
The danger for Romney is that this report will convince people that Romney definitely knows how to make jobs go. It also seriously dents Romney's claims that he created jobs as head of Bain Capital. While Romney undoubtedly created wealth, it becomes hard to argue you have a record of creating jobs when you've created them overseas.
Obama evidently agrees; in a speech at Hillsborough Community College in Florida, Obama said, "Tampa, we don't need an outsourcing pioneer in the Oval Office. We need a President who will fight for American jobs and American manufacturing. And that's what my plan will do."

It's common on discussion forums for those not intellectually equipped for civil discourse and or of weak position to fill their void with name calling and personal attacks
As to the subject at hand. The quick buck, yet short sited practices of supporting "low prices always" by "out sourcing" and in most cases "off shoring" jobs soon deprives one of a customer base (employed people) to sell any product to at all.
A candidate that would champion this type of approach demonstrates a shallow and destructive thought process.
While there is really little to appreciate in the political profession overall, we are all faced with making a personal choice and currently here it would be that the current office holder get the same 8 years his predecessor had.
The oath of office is to "uphold and defend the constitution" , and Romney's campaign has been rife with promises to violate that oath in advance. Many have cheered that on , but either they have failed to read their own country's constitution or simply have no problem with constitutional subversion.
We've had more than enough subversion from both parties be it willful or salved in pragmatism
Lee your dead wrong about everything. There is just one of me no more aliases. It's been so long since I first commented on this article, I have no idea what fact I quoted. Why bring Bush up? I couldn't stand that little shit and the same goes for Romney and Obama. They were and will be nothing but puppets for the banking elite. I like the NorbertVlasta profile but why couldn't you have come up with something more convincing? It's not fault because you started on me first. I'm not commenting on this again unless one of you people start name calling again. So behave yourself.
Beth you all started all this by practically hanging me for my opinion on this article. Demeaning me for my opinion nothing more. You guys can't stand for someone to have a different opinion than yours so what do you do instead of agreeing to disagree, you hammer me sarcastic remarks. You all started it.
And how unqualified he is to run a business, much less a country. It's so obvious that the trolls cannot defend him, I have yet to see a factual statement about his qualifications. Which is why they are so desperate to change the subject.

Revenues, net income to shareholders and EBITDA increased compared to the same period of 2012, primarily due to more favourable results at AMF Bakery Systems in acquisition of Havco in 2012. The three months ended March 31, 2013, include higher cash flows partially offset by higher profit sharing payments compared to the same period of 2012. EBITDA more than doubled to $19.4 million compared to $9.4 million in the previous year.

Ryan Seacrest Prods.' new president Eugene Young has made his first senior executive hire since joining the company two months ago. 51 Minds' Rabih Gholam has been tapped as EVP, Unscripted Programming. Gholam will report to Young, working alongside EVP, Current Unscripted Programming Izzie Pick Ashcroft, EVP, Production Robert Norris Catto and SVP of Development Matt Sims. As EVP of alternative programming of Endemol-owned 51 Minds, Gholam recently produced Whodunnit? for ABC, Same Name for CBS and Somebody Has to Go for Fox. He started off in late-night TV before migrating to reality. Gholam is the second executive from 51 Minds to depart after the executive restructuring following the company CEO Cris Abrego's appointment as co-chairman and co-CEO of parent Endemol North America that saw Christian Sarabia elevated to president of 51 Minds. VP Dave Caplan recently inked a deal with Lionsgate TV.
NBC Re-Ups iHeartRadio Music Awards
Several days after the inaugural iHeartRadio Music Awards, NBC has picked up a second edition of the new awards show from Clear Channel Media and Entertainment and Ryan Seacrest Prods. The three-hour show did so-so in the TV ratings, drawing a 1.7 among adults 18-49 last Thursday but scored on social media. It also was also broadcast on Clear Channel radio stations nationwide and the iHeartRadio digital music platform. This year's telecast was executive produced by John Sykes and Tom Poleman of Clear Channel, Ryan Seacrest Prods. and Ian Stewart and Hamish Hamilton of Done and Dusted for Universal Television. Hamilton served as director.
Tonight's iHeartRadio Music Awards On NBC Hit With Trademark Infringement Lawsuit
It won't silence tonight's inaugural iHeartRadio Music Awards on NBC, but a new lawsuit aims to make the newest music awards show a very short-lived affair. A trial date of April 6, 2015, already has been set for the multi-claim trademark infringement and unfair competition complaint filed in federal court earlier this week against Clear Channel and Premiere Radio Networks (read it here). While the live show will go on tonight, plaintiffs Radio Dogs claim that the new show, executive produced by Ryan Seacrest Prods, is far too close to their Radio Music Awards brand. They want an injunction against the show, its online presence shut down, materials destroyed and unspecified monetary damages "including all of Defendants' profits or gains of any kind resulting from the actions complained of herein." Radio Dogs registered the trademark Radio Music Awards with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on February 4, 2003.
Sounds pretty strong, especially when you consider that Radio Dogs produced the trademarked Radio Music Awards on the WB in 1999, then on ABC from 2000-01 and on — surprise, surprise — NBC from 2003-05. Add that American Idol frontman Seacrest was the host of those shows and Clear Channel was the major sponsor. And the fact is the two logos do share some characteristics. Read More »
More Ryan Seacrest Prods. Executive Turnover — CEO Exits
The revolving door at Ryan Seacrest Prods. continues with a slew of comings and goings in the past year. The latest development is the exit of CEO Adam Sher, who had been with the company since 2008. According to sources close to the company, Sher he will retain his equity stake. In the past year, the company, which is yet to score a major hit beyond the Keeping Up With The Kardashians franchise, also parted ways with Fernando J. Hernandez, EVP Development and Production, who took a job at Universal TV, and SVP Development and Current Unscripted Programming Heather Schuster. On the coming side, RSP brought in veteran scripted executive Nina Wass and Jason Sarlanis as SVP Unscripted Development, with Izzie Pick Ashcroft set to join early next year when RSP is expected to name a new president.
E! Picks Up Boy Band The Wanted Series From Ryan Seacrest
Keeping Up With the Kardashians might need to get guitars because there's some new kids on the block. E! announced today that it has another reality series from Ryan Seacrest coming – this one following UK pop band The Wanted. Tentatively entitled The Wanted Life, the series will premiere in June. The Wanted Life will chronicle the band's move to LA to record their third album and all the ups and downs that entails for them, their girlfriends and their entourage. The series is produced by Ryan Seacrest Productions, SB Productions and Global TV UK. Executive producers are Ryan Seacrest, Adam Sher, Scooter Braun, Ashley Tabor and Danny Rose.
Nina Wass To Run Scripted For Ryan Seacrest Prods., Company Sells Show To FX
Ryan Seacrest Prods. continues to staff up as part of its expansion under the rich new production deal with NBCUniversal. The company has hired veteran producer Nina Wass to steer its scripted efforts. Wass will serve as EVP, Scripted Programming, reporting to RSP CEO Adam Sher.
Branching out into scripted has been a major priority for Seacrest, whose company established itself as a reality powerhouse off the success of the Keeping Up with the Kardashians franchise. Wass spent eight years at Touchstone TV/ABC Studios where she was partnered with Gene Stein. She currently projects in development at Lifetime, TVland, and Showtime. On the executive side, she did a stint as SVP of Creative Affairs for The Oprah Winfrey Network. Wass joins veteran digital entertainment executive Sibyl Goldman who was recently tapped as EVP of New Media for Ryan Seacrest Prods.
Last year RSP sold a small-screen adaptation of The Nanny Diaries with Harvey Weinstein into development at ABC. Additionally, RSP recently sold a Jonathan Shapiro project about a former police detective who is a "fixer" to FX – also in a collaboration with The Weinstein Co. The company is developing dozens of unscripted and scripted shows across cable and broadcast networks, indulging a pilot with Sony for CBS based on the Zynga game Draw Something. On the film side, RSP has a romantic comedy in the works at Universal with Reese Witherspoon producing and Grey's Anatomy scribe Krista Vernoff writing.
Kelly Mullens Leaves 42West To Join Ryan Seacrest Prods.
On the heels of Ryan Seacrest Prods. signing a wide-ranging new deal with NBCUniversal, the company has hired its first in-house PR executive, 42West EVP Kelly Mullens Brown who handled Ryan Seacrest's company at the entertainment PR agency. Mullens Brown is joining Ryan Seacrest Prods. in a bigger role — she will serve as EVP of External Relations effective July 9. She will oversee communications, philanthropy and community relations and will be involved in marketing, sponsorship, strategy, and new business development, reporting to Seacrest and working closely with CEO Adam Sher and CFO Jeff Refold.

Associated Press
TULSA — Oklahoma politicos, campaign operatives and members of Randy Brogdon's own party remained stymied Thursday in their efforts to learn what the former Republican state lawmaker will do during the 2014 campaign: jump into a lively U.S. Senate race or sit it out.
For his part, Brogdon's kept mum on his plans. So have his people.
Since Christmas, Brogdon has switched his campaign website from one trumpeting a 2014 gubernatorial bid to one promoting a run for the U.S. Senate. But neither Brogdon nor the site have informed curious voters which of two open Senate seats he's seeking — or when he might make a formal announcement.
Some political experts say they aren't surprised by the moves, and former colleagues say no one can predict what Brogdon will do next.
"When it comes to Randy Brogdon, it's a hard thing to explain or understand," said Richard Johnson, chairman of the political science department at Oklahoma City University. "I usually look at Brogdon as being conservative; certainly not an establishment candidate by any means.
"I don't know whether he's just been trying to find the best way he can be effective," he said.
Jerry Buchanan, a state Republican Party official in northeastern Oklahoma— where Brogdon lives — predicted Thursday that Brogdon was still lining up support for a Senate run and likely would announce next week that he will seek the seat being vacated by Tom Coburn. Oklahoma's other Senate race is a six-year term for the seat currently held by Jim Inhofe.
But Buchanan said he is second-guessing that prediction because of Brogdon's radio silence as of late.
"Timing-wise, you'd think pretty much the announcement would have been made by now," he said.
The race for Coburn's seat already has attracted former Oklahoma Speaker of the House T.W. Shannon and U.S. Rep. James Lankford, whose representatives did not comment Thursday about whether they would be prepared for a Brogdon candidacy. Brogdon and his campaign headquarters did not return phone messages seeking comment.
Brogdon rode a wave of tea party support in 2010 to nearly 39 percent of the vote in the GOP primary against Gov. Mary Fallin and two lesser-known challengers.

Below, get a first look at Syfy's Tuesday night line-up featuring Face Off and Opposite Worlds! Face Off airs Tuesdays at 9/8c. Opposite Worlds airs Tuesdays at 10/9c and live on Wednesdays at 8/7c
On Face Off, the artists have to dive into the shadows to draw inspiration for this dark spotlight challenge. Check the sneak peek below, in addition to morphs from last week's work and a behind-the-scenes tour of the Face Off house!
Then, tune into the first airing of Opposite Worlds tomorrow at 10/9c. Watch a clip explaining the Popularity Index, and how you can impact gameplay. Then, catch a fun clip from last week that wasn't aired and Angela's Exit interview.
Syfy's smash hit and acclaimed unscripted series, "Face Off," is back for a bold and extreme sixth season. Fifteen up-and-coming special effects make-up artists are introduced, all eager for the opportunity to achieve success in the competitive special effects makeup field. And in a Face Off first, the contestants travel to the other side of the globe for a special episode shot in Tokyo, Japan, where they are tasked with creating a stylized anime character based on their own alter ego.
Returning to the lab for the new season is actress and host McKenzie Westmore, along with judges Ve Neill ("The Hunger Games," "The Amazing Spider-Man," "Pirates of the Caribbean"), Glenn Hetrick ("CSI: New York," "The Hunger Games," "Heroes") and Neville Page ("Avatar," "Prometheus"). World-renowned makeup artist -- and McKenzie's dad - Michael Westmore resumes his role as the official contestant mentor.
The guest judges on tap for season six include Tami Lane ("Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," "The Hobbit," "Lord of the Rings"), Stephen Sommers ("The Mummy," "The Mummy Returns"), Scott Stewart ("Sin City," "Legion"), Oren Peli ("Paranormal Activity"), Howard Berger ("Inglorious Bastards," "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe"), actor Doug Jones ("Hellboy," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"), former "Face Off" series judge Patrick Tatopolous ("Total Recall," "300: Rise of an Empire"), author Roald Dahl's daughter Lucy Dahl, Oscar winning makeup artist Valli O'Reilly ("Alice in Wonderland"), Len Wiseman ("Underworld"), Oscar winning makeup artist Kazuhiro Tsuji ("Planet of the Apes," "The Ring"), anime artist and sci-fi illustrator Hidetaka Tenjin and the world famous DJ Rusko.
Season six presents the most extreme challenge creative for the series yet, compelling the contestants to push the possibilities in nearly every aspect of their makeups to inspire the most magnificent characters and creatures in "Face Off" history. The season's first Spotlight challenge is a "Beauty & the Beast" makeup in which the contestants must create an original Beast who would live in a chosen Castle with its Belle. Additional challenges include the creation of an intricate Medieval dragon warrior that breathes not only fire, but also elements like ice and poison; an outlandish rock 'n roll guitarist character; an original wizard inspired by an array of unique wands on display; a whimsical creation inspired by Roald Dahl characters that have been written about, but never-before-seen on screen; and a futuristic robot that has replaced humans in the workforce, complete with functional advantages in a particular field. Continuing the "Face Off" tradition, the season culminates with another visually spectacular and elaborate finale event - an amazing electronic, nightclub-inspired light show featuring the world famous DJ Rusko.
The "Face Off" contestants will be whittled down week by week, until only three remain for a finale showdown. The winning artist will receive $100,000, a 2014 Fiat and a VIP trip from Kryolan Professional Make-Up to one of their 85 international locations. Kryolan Professional Make-Up continues as the official make-up sponsor of "Face Off."
"Face Off" is an authentic depiction of the high creative standards necessary for a special effects make-up artist to succeed in their craft. The series debuted in January 2011 as a new reality competition program to critical and ratings success. Season five of "Face Off" averaged 2.29 million total viewers.

A 40-year-old man walked out of his bedroom Tuesday afternoon and dodged gunfire.
The Blackmon Avenue victim told investigators the gunman was inside the back door and started shooting at him as he ran out the front door of the house, which is on a short street between Napier and Montpelier avenues, according to a news release from the Bibb County Sheriffs Office.
Deputies later identified 22-year-old Terry Lamar Middleton of Oakland Avenue as the suspect and arrested him Tuesday evening.
Middleton is charged with aggravated assault and armed robbery.

How long do they last?
5 years, 2 months ago
Number One Contributor
Answer:Volcanic Zeolite based odor control products last for years because they can be "recharged in sunlight". After the product has become saturated with the odors it has been absorbing, you can set the mesh pouches outside in direct sunlight
for 6 hours, this renews and recharges the Zeolite for many years of further use! Or recharged in 10 minutes with a hair dryer.

Jon Albert named Senior Pastor at Church of Christ
Published on Wednesday, 30 November -0001 00:00
Hits: 0
The Church of Christ of Kimball is proud to announce Jon Albert as their Senior Pastor. Jon is a graduate of Kimball Area High School, and has lived here most of his life.
Through high school, Jon enjoyed several activities and sports and after graduation, he went on to a double-major in Bible and Youth Ministry at Northwestern College in the Twin Cities. Jon also served as a Youth Pastor in our congregation along with serving as the leadership development coordinator for the Kimball area school district; he also coached basketball and football. Jon began teaching Bible at St. Cloud Christian School in 2004, and served in some administrative areas.
The first Sunday of May 2009, Jon was affirmed as the Senior Pastor by the congregation. Jon recently wrote this article to the congregation and it represents his heartbeat in a very clear way.
"God has great plans for this congregation. He has given us the clear call to love Him, love others, and serve. This is what we will do.
"There are many things that I enjoy in this life (marriage, my family, sports, fishing, hunting, camping, a good fire, a fresh cup of coffee, etc.), but my passion is Jesus. My life is committed to the advancement of the Kingdom of God. I believe the promise of Matthew 6:33. Here Jesus tells me that if I seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, then I will be fully provided for. God, Himself, will provide for my needs. He has freed me from the vain, fruitless, and meaningless pursuits of the world so that I can claim real life as He intended His creation to live.
"I praise God that the work He has for me and my family includes you. It is the delight of my heart to see sinners saved and the Saints united in love. As your pastor, I am committed to loving my wife as Christ loved the church, training my children in the fear of the Lord, doing my part to encourage and equip you to live abundantly in Christ, and save the lost.
"There are many adventures ahead of us as we fight for the truth. Some of them will be glorious celebrations of victory and others will be great struggles. We will bring praise to God together in them all.
"This summer Kathleen and I will celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary and we are blessed with three wonderful children (Miranda - 12, Monte - 10, Melodie - 5). We are excited to be a part of your life. You are welcome and invited to worship with us any Sunday. Our worship services are 8 and 10:30 a.m. Sunday morning."

Wanted to clear up an incorrect statement I made concerning this post. Starspangledbanner in 2010 wasn't the last to complete the Diamond Jubilee Stakes & Darley July Cup double in the same season. I had totally forgotten that Lethal Force completed that double last season.
Wesley Ward's Undrafted ran a cracking good race himself, finishing 4th of 13 in the G1 Darley July Cup. Well done to the connections!!
Slade Power completes the G1 Diamond Jubilee Stakes/G1 Darley July Cup double with a win in the July Cup at Newmarket(July). Last horse to complete the double was Coolmore's Starspangledbanner back in 2010.
Farraaj looks back to his best again winning the John Smith's Cup at York, one of the more valuable and prestigious 10f handicaps on the racing calender.
Guest of Honour gets up to win the G2 Summer Mile Stakes at Ascot. Mull of Killough was 2nd for the second year in a row and Godolphin's Long John ran on well for 3rd.
@Euro Trash, many thanks for your concern. I am improving, it's just slowly. That heart attack was very unexpected and really zapped me, plus I've got a ton of new medications I'm having to get used to as well, and some of them make it difficult not to walk around in a fog half the time, LOL. But I'll make it all the way back eventually. I've always been fighter when it comes to my health. Again, many thanks though for your concern.
@jonquil, I also share Euro Trash's sentiments on hoping you're feeling better. My wife has had problems with migraine headaches also for the past decade and I've seen her get awfully sick at times from them, so I definitely feel for you mate.
@jonquil, For what it's worth, I also think Sea The Moon is a very progressive 3yo. I simply don't think he's quite reached the level yet where he could beat Australia or Taghrooda in a G1 race over 12f. That's not to say he's not capable of being there later in the season though.
@jonquil, I respect your opinion on Sea The Moon mate. I don't necessarily agree with it, but I respect it. That said, I think you're right in that it's very unlikely Australia and Sea The Moon would face each other unless they both turn up in the Arc, and then they'd both have bigger problems than worrying about trying to beat each other, IMO.
Boy this filly is compiling a really nice career resume'. Today made the 8th career start to date for Integral and with her Falmouth win she runs her career record to 8-5-2-0. Her only out of money finish to date still remains her 7th in last season's G1 Nassau Stakes at Goodwood, which if memory serves was a bit of a messy race for a few fillies & mares that day.

Without even needing to be told charlyse just started flashing her titties for dude's camera. She flashed her tits and dropped to her knees to suck off dude's prick. She wet down every inch of that rod, and jacked the shaft at the same time.

New device measures viscosity of ketchup and cosmetics
A device that can measure and predict how liquids flow under different conditions will ensure consumer products -- from make-up to ketchup -- are of the right consistency. The technology developed at the University of Sheffield enables engineers to monitor, in real time, how the viscous components (rheology) of liquids change during a production process, making it easier, quicker and cheaper to control the properties of the liquid.
The research is a joint project between the University's Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering and the School of Mathematics and Statistics. A paper describing the innovation is published Oct. 24, 2011 in the journal Measurement Science and Technology.
Dr Julia Rees from the University's Department of Applied Mathematics, who co-authored the study, said: "Companies that make liquid products need to know how the liquids will behave in different circumstances because these different behaviours can affect the texture, the taste or even the smell of a product."
The viscosity of most liquids changes under different conditions and designers often use complicated mathematical equations to determine what these changes might be.
The team from Sheffield has now developed a way of predicting these changes using a non-invasive sensor system that the liquid simply flows through. The sensor feeds information back through an electronic device that calculates a range of likely behaviours.
Dr Rees, from the Department of Applied Mathematics, explains: "Measuring the individual components of a liquid's viscosity is called rheometry. We can produce equations to measure a liquid's total viscosity, but the rheology of most liquids is very complicated. Instead, we look at properties in a liquid that we can measure easily, and then apply maths to calculate the viscosity. The sensor device we have developed will be able to make these calculations for companies using a straightforward testing process."
Companies developing new products will be able to incorporate the device into their development process, meaning there will no longer be a need for `grab samples' to be taken away for expensive laboratory testing, providing cost and efficiency savings.
The device can be made to any scale and can even be etched onto a microchip, with channels about the width of a human hair. This will be useful for testing where only small samples of fluid are available, for example in biological samples.
Dr Rees' team have developed a laboratory prototype of the system and are currently working to refine the technology and develop a design prototype.
Will Zimmerman, Professor of Biochemical Dynamical Systems in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Sheffield, worked on the project alongside Dr Rees. He says: "Because the microrheometer works in real time, materials, time and energy will not be wasted when processing flaws are detected. Conservation is one of the best ways to 'green' industrial processing with greater efficiency. Ben Franklin's maxim, 'waste not, want not' is just as true today."

I'm a mom. I'm a business owner. I'm a wife. I'm a woman, formed by the other three, but definitely, becoming (again) my own person.
I have views and opinions that might be considered unconventional; bring me a 2nd wife, husband! I'm tired and can't do everything myself.
I'm driven, passionate (and over the last little while, I have come to learn how passionate), focused, dedicated, devoted and a good wife (or, so I thought).
I'm sharing my story with you because I want to use this forum to understand more about me and to share with other people. I want your feedback and comments, but leave your judgements at the door.
I absolutely believe in women and our strengths and abilities. I believe that we have so much power that we do not own and are afraid of owning. Our sexuality has been so demonized that we are afraid of it; afraid of owning it, putting it out there, because we don't want to be labelled.
For me, I am grasping it at, clutching it, if you will, like a life preserver. I am struggling to let go of my doubts, my self-recriminations and embrace me in all my glory, foolishness, mistakes and joys.
Understandably (and you will understand once you begin reading) I will not be linking to my Linked In, Facebood, Twitter, or, any other account. This has to remain private - as private as one can be posting to the web.
Let's see what happens - together.

Tumours arising from the dorsal surface of the tongue occurred in 3 horses from 14-23 years of age. Tumours were surgically excised at a referral hospital (1 case) and on the farm (2 cases) and submitted for histopathology. All tumours were multilobular and composed of vaguely nested, bland, oval to slightly elongate cells with an infiltrative growth pattern. Mitotic activity was not detected. Immunohistochemical studies found that tumour cells were often positive for S-100 and cytokeratin and were occasionally positive for vimentin. Tumour cells were negative for glial fibrillary acidic protein, neuron specific enolase, synaptophysin, muscle actin, and chromogranin A. Follow up obtained from 7 months to 2 years following tumour removal indicated no evidence of regrowth or metastasis. The origin of these distinctive tumours is not clear, but the immunohistochemical profile suggests the possibility of origin from lingual taste buds. These cases and review of the literature indicate that successful surgical excision of tongue tumours can be performed by practitioners in private practice as well as by surgeons at referral hospitals.

A.; Calderwood Mays, M. B.; Cheramie, H. S. Information regarding signalment, clinical findings, treatment, and outcome of 5 previously reported cases of anaplastic malignant melanoma of the tail in non-grey horses and of 5 additional cases are summarized. Age was recorded for 9 horses and mean age was 16 years, range 8 to 23 years. Gender was recorded for 8 horses and 6 of these 8 horses were male horses over 14 years of age. The most common coat colour was bay (6 horses). Other coat colours were palomino (1 horse), chestnut (1 horse), and black (1 horse); coat colour of 1 non-grey horse was not specified. Follow up information was available for 9 horses and only 1 horse, a palomino, survived more than 10 months following diagnosis and tail amputation. Surgical excision, including tail amputation and medical therapy with oral cimetidine, was not effective in non-grey, non-palomino horses. Tumour recurred on tail tissue remaining after amputation in 2 horses, widespread metastases were documented in 4 cases, and metastasis was suspected at the time of death or euthanasia in 3 cases, including 1 case with amputation site regrowth. No subjective histopathologic differences were detected in the palomino that survived as compared to horses of other coat colours. Findings suggest that anaplastic malignant melanoma of the tail in bay, chestnut, and black horses is most often a very aggressive neoplasm, but that there are rare exceptions.

International immersion experiences do not, in themselves, provide students with the opportunity to develop cultural competence. However, using an anthropological lens to educate students allows them to learn how to negotiate cultural differences by removing their own cultural filters and seeing events through the eyes of those who are culturally different. Faculty at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Global Health Institute believed that an embedded experience, in which students engaged with local communities, would encourage them to adopt this cultural competency 2.0 position. With this goal in mind, they started the Field School for the Study of Language, Culture, and Community Health in Ecuador in 2003 to teach cultural competency to medical, veterinary, pharmacy, and nursing students. The program was rooted in medical anthropology and embraced the One Health initiative, which is a collaborative effort of multiple disciplines working locally, nationally, and globally to obtain optimal health for people, animals, and the environment. In this article, the authors identify effective practices and challenges for using a bio-cultural approach to educating students. In a semester-long preparatory class, students study the Spanish language, region-specific topics, and community engagement principles. While in Ecuador for five weeks, students apply their knowledge during community visits that involve homestays and service learning projects, for which they partner with local communities to meet their health needs. This combination of language and anthropological course work and community based service learning has led to positive outcomes for the local communities as well as professional development for students and faculty.

Two virulence factors produced by Vibrio cholerae, cholera toxin (CT) and toxin-corregulated pilus (TCP), are indispensable for cholera infection. ToxT is the central regulatory protein involved in activation of CT and TCP expression. We previously reported that lack of a respiration-linked sodium-translocating NADH–ubiquinone oxidoreductase (Na⁺-NQR) significantly increases toxT transcription. In this study, we further characterized this link and found that Na⁺-NQR affects toxT expression only at the early-log growth phase, whereas lack of Na⁺-NQR decreases CT production after the mid-log growth phase. Such decreased CT production was independent of toxT and ctxB transcription. Supplementing a respiratory substrate, L-lactate, into the growth media restored CT production in the nqrA-F mutant, suggesting that decreased CT production in the Na⁺-NQR mutant is dependent on electron transport chain (ETC) activity. This notion was supported by the observations that two chemical inhibitors, a Na⁺-NQR specific inhibitor 2-n-Heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline N-oxide (HQNO) and a succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) inhibitor, thenoyltrifluoroacetone (TTFA), strongly inhibited CT production in both classical and El Tor biotype strains of V. cholerae. Accordingly, we propose the main respiratory enzyme of V. cholerae, as a potential drug target to treat cholera because human mitochondria do not contain Na⁺-NQR orthologs.

Das (Wasted) Kapital
AbstractBased on a survey that we designed and that covers a stratified random sample of 12,400 firms in 120 cities in China with firm-level accounting information for 2002-2004, this paper examines the presence of systematic distortions in capital allocation that result in uneven marginal returns to capital across firm ownership, regions, and sectors. It provides a systematic comparison of investment efficiency among wholly and partially state-owned, wholly and partially foreignowned, and domestic privately owned firms, conditioning on their sector, location, and size characteristics. It finds that even after a quarter-of-century of reforms, state-owned firms still have significantly lower returns to capital, on average, than domestic private or foreign-owned firms. Similarly, certain regions and sectors have consistently lower returns to capital than other regions and sectors. By our calculation, if China succeeds in allocating its capital more efficiently, it could reduce its investment intensity by 5 percent of GDP without sacrificing its economic growth (and hence deliver a greater improvement to its citizens'' living standard).

When Gervasi met with Pollock and producer Jeffrey Clifford , he had to sell himself, and hard. "Hitchcock," he told them, should be less about the making of "Psycho" and more about his relationship with Alma. The movie in Gervasi's mind would track key issues surrounding the film's production — including the director's fight to win a Production Code seal allowing "Psycho's" theatrical release — but it would be anchored by the director's romantic and working life with Alma.
Also known as Lady Hitchcock, Alma was a screenwriter on her husband's "Sabotage" and other films and a keen editor who spotted (over her husband's objections) that Janet Leigh was not fully dead after her encounter with Norman Bates in "Psycho," forcing him to recut the scene.
