Curated Facts
Business marketers serve the largest market of all: The dollar volume of transactions iin the industrial ot business market significantly exceeds that of the ultimate consumer market. In the business market, a single customer can account for an enormous level of purchasing activity. For example, the corporate procurement department at IBM spends more than $40 billion annually on industrial products and services.
Organizational buying is often supposed to be more rational and less emotional than consumer purchasing behavior. However, it would be wrong to assume that organizational buying is always entirely rational: those responsible for making buying decisions within organizations are still human beings and do not leave their emotions at the door when they come to work, so it seems unrealistic to suppose that they do not have some emotional or irrational input in their decision-making.
In the B2B world, an organization may involve dozens of individuals with vasty different backgrounds in the purchasing decision-making process. ... a firm's prospect list may include firms of vastly different sizes and whose use of the focal firm's offering may differ widely.
Industrial buying is one of the few areas in marketing where the importance of social networks is not only considered received wisdom but also well supported by evidence. In particular, the relation between one's position in the decision-making unit and one's indluence and access to resources is well established.
Because a number of people can influence purchases of B2B products, business buyers face a variety of organizational influences in addition to their own preferences.
Business buying behaviour is influenced by economical, company, individual and interpersonal factors. Economical factors like regulatory changes, technology changes, competition, fiscal policy and monetary policy influence buying behaviour. Company level factors also play a major role is deciding buying behaviour. Sales people have to pay importance in understanding how purchase department is organized and players in the department.
The demand for business products is based on derived demand. Derived demand is demand that springs from, or is derived from, a secondary source other than the primary buyer of a product. For business markets, this source is consumers.
Unlike many consumers, most business buyers demand that the products they buy meet strict standards. Take, for example, the Five Guys burger chain, based in Virginia. The company taste-tested eighteen different types of mayonnaise before settling on the one it uses.
Although the goal of B2B marketing is to convert prospects into customers, the process is longer and more involved. A B2B company needs to focus on relationship building and communication using marketing activities that generate leads that can be nurtured during the sales cycle. B2B companies use marketing to educate various players in the target audience because the decision to purchase is usually a multi-step process involving more than one person.
B2B buyers behave differently from consumers when they visit a website. Business buyers have longer buying cycles so they are seeking "specific information." In addition, business buyers are constrained by bid purchasing procedures...

Dutch programmer Joannes Jozef Everardus van Der Meer is suing Facebook over its 'Like' button. Companies get sued all the time! Why do we care? Well, aside from having an A+ name, van Der Meer is actually… dead. He passed away in 2004, just as Facebook was beginning to take over the world. Why is he suing now? Van Der Meer was the founder of Surfbook, a social diary-type service where people could share stuff with friends and like things with a 'like' button. If that sounds a heckuva lot like some other site with book in its name, well, you know why lawsuits are being tossed around. The lawsuit claims that Facebook "bears a remarkable resemblance, both in terms of its functionality and technical implementation, to the personal web page diary that Van Der Meer had invented years earlier."

The year about to close has been a good one for U.S. stocks, but just how bubbly investors will feel this New Year's Eve might depend on which of the major indexes they follow.
Investors with an eye on the Dow Jones Industrial Average can celebrate a relatively modest 6% price rise in 2012, with one day of trading left. But there will be much more champagne flowing for investors in the Standard & Poor's 500 index, which is set to rack up a handsome double-digit price gain of nearly 12%.
The notable disparity between these two well-known and popular U.S. stock-market measures can be attributed to various differences between them, including some related to index construction and some to stock selection.
For starters, the 26% rise in Apple AAPL -1.666375850636887% Apple Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD112.71 -1.91 -1.666375850636887% /Date(1474664400168-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 52080945 AFTER HOURS USD112.23 -0.48 -0.42587170614852277% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 400206 P/E Ratio 13.167056074766355 Market Cap 607331391067.71 Dividend Yield 2.0228906042054833% Rev. per Employee 1990500 More quote details and news » (ticker: AAPL) goes a long way in explaining the gap. The maker of some of the world's most ubiquitous computer products and telecom gadgets is the biggest stock in the S&P 500 index and the largest single contributor to the S&P's rise in 2012.
It's responsible for roughly 11 points in the S&P's 145-point rise, says David Blitzer, chairman of the index committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices, which owns and produces both indexes. S&P Dow Jones Indices is 73% owned by McGraw-Hill (MHP), which owns Standard & Poor's; CME Group CME -1.7801143700424276% CME Group Inc. Cl A U.S.: Nasdaq USD106.49 -1.93 -1.7801143700424276% /Date(1474664400397-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1769087 AFTER HOURS USD106.49 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 18414 P/E Ratio 26.891414141414142 Market Cap 36084667134.1892 Dividend Yield 2.2537327448586724% Rev. per Employee 1384230 More quote details and news » (CME) owns 24%, and Dow Jones, which publishes Barron's and is owned by News Corp. (NWSA), owns just 2.6%.
UNFORTUNATELY FOR THE DOW, Apple is not a component. Indeed, six of the 10 biggest contributors to the S&P 500's rise are not in the Dow, Blitzer adds.
"Both indexes are imperfect measures of the same thing," says John Manley, chief equity strategist of the Wells Fargo Advantage Funds. But the Dow, with its narrow sample of just 30 stocks, can be more significantly moved by one or two stocks than the S&P and its cast of hundreds, Manley says.
Consequently, the 47% plunge by Dow member Hewlett-Packard HPQ -0.1984126984126984% HP Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD15.09 -0.03 -0.1984126984126984% /Date(1474664721259-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 7971477 AFTER HOURS USD15.2 0.11 0.7289595758780649% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 130763 P/E Ratio 8.06951871657754 Market Cap 25817118747.3871 Dividend Yield 3.2869449966865476% Rev. per Employee 213986 More quote details and news » (HPQ) hurt the index this year. "One or two clunkers isn't going to be as much as a factor for the S&P 500," Manley notes.
The small sample risk is further complicated by the Dow's unusual price-weighting construction, where stocks with high prices have more of an influence than those with low prices. This is best seen in the lack of a big boost from Dow component Bank of America BAC -0.5128205128205128% Bank of America Corp. U.S.: NYSE USD15.52 -0.08 -0.5128205128205128% /Date(1474664419958-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 50626018 AFTER HOURS USD15.53 0.01 0.06443298969072164% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 978406 P/E Ratio 13.385079775765416 Market Cap 158378497640.137 Dividend Yield 1.9329896907216495% Rev. per Employee 431596 More quote details and news » (BAC). Despite its enormous 104% rise in 2012, says Jim Russell, senior equity strategist at US Bank Wealth Management, the bank stock's big move up was muted in the average because the shares have a relatively low price of $11.36, for less than a 1% weighting in the Dow, he adds. The S&P 500, in contrast, weights its components according to their market value.
The fewer members in the Dow, along with its price-weighting construction, also makes it very difficult for a stock to get into the index. With a $510 share price, Apple would have had an inordinate sway on the Dow if it were included. The Dow's "harder to get into than Mrs. Astor's ballroom," Manley quips.
ANOTHER FACTOR IN THE Dow's laggard performance this year had to do with its sector make-up. The financial sector is leading the 2012 rally, and it is the second-biggest weighting in the S&P 500, at about 15%. But financial stocks make up only about 11% of the Dow. The Dow is also underweight health-care stocks, which did well this year, and is overweight underperforming industrials, adds Blitzer.
"The Dow is loaded with tech stocks, which also underperformed in 2012," says Neil Hennessy, CEO of Hennessy Advisors and a close Dow watcher. What's more, it was the wrong kind of tech, like Microsoft MSFT -0.674507090971982% Microsoft Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD57.43 -0.39 -0.674507090971982% /Date(1474664400295-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 19373747 AFTER HOURS USD57.38 -0.05 -0.08706251088281386% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 581589 P/E Ratio 28.014634146341464 Market Cap 447524202763.829 Dividend Yield 2.7163503395437925% Rev. per Employee 742939 More quote details and news » (MSFT), which eked out a 2% gain, and Intel INTC -0.9587217043941412% Intel Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD37.19 -0.36 -0.9587217043941412% /Date(1474664400265-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 16612504 AFTER HOURS USD37.19 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1449970 P/E Ratio 17.966183574879228 Market Cap 175945883502.96 Dividend Yield 2.796450658779242% Rev. per Employee 527624 More quote details and news » (INTC), which fell 17% — not to mention HP's abysmal performance, he points out.
Other factors are important too. Small- and mid-capitalization stocks outperformed in 2012. The S&P 500 has them, and the Dow doesn't.
Yet there lies the possible basis for the Dow's outperformance in 2013. For most of the year, stocks with purely domestic revenue — typically small and midsize companies — led those with lots of international revenue, usually larger companies. That reversed, however, right after the U.S. election, according to Bespoke Investment Group.
If investors continue to fret about the U.S. fiscal cliff and become more encouraged by signs the global economy is picking up, that could give a lift to the Dow's global mega-cap stocks in tech and the industrials, like Caterpillar CAT -1.2694610778443114% Caterpillar Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD82.44 -1.06 -1.2694610778443114% /Date(1474664409574-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 3013027 AFTER HOURS USD82.47 0.03 0.036390101892285295% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 18506 P/E Ratio 44.32258064516129 Market Cap 48164006555.7398 Dividend Yield 3.7360504609412906% Rev. per Employee 395412 More quote details and news » (CAT).
"If we get a good year [in 2013] for growth stocks and industrials, the Dow would outperform the S&P 500," Blitzer says. That would be a repeat of 2011, when the Dow rose 5.5%, compared with a flat return from the S&P 500.
Over long periods of time, the two tend to move together, but if global growth returns in 2013, the old Dow's likely to make a nice comeback next year.

Death in Venice and other Talesby Thomas Mann Joachim Neugroschel
In this new, widely acclaimed translation that restores the controversial passages that were cut out of the original English version, "Death in Venice" tells about a ruinous quest for love and beauty amid degenerating splendor. This volume also includes eleven other stories by Mann. All of the stories collected here display Mann's inimitable use of irony, his subtle characterizations, and superb, complex plots.
I, Pierre Seel, Deported Homosexualby Joachim Neugroschel Pierre Seel
On a fateful day in May 1941, in Nazi-occupied Strasbourg, seventeen-year- old Pierre Seel was summoned by the Gestapo. This was the beginning of his journey through the horrors of a concentration camp. For nearly forty years, Seel kept this secret in order to hide his homosexuality. Eventually he decided to speak out, bearing witness to an aspect of the Holocaust rarely seen. This edition, with a new foreword from gay-literature historian Gregory Woods, is an extraordinary firsthand account of the Nazi roundup and the deportation of homosexuals.
I, Pierre Seel, Deported Homosexual: A Memoir of Nazi Terrorby Joachim Neugroschel Pierre Seel

The Man in the Iron Maskby Alexandre Dumas Joachim Neugroschel Francine du Plessix Gray
Deep inside the dreaded Bastille, a twenty-three-year-old prisoner called merely "Philippe" has languished for eight long, dark years. He does not know his real name or what crime he is supposed to have committed. But Aramis, one of the original Three Musketeers, has bribed his way into the cell to reveal the shocking secret that has kept Philippe locked away from the world. That carefully concealed truth could topple Louis XIV, king of France, which is exactly what Aramis is plotting to do!A daring jailbreak, a brilliant masquerade, and a terrifying fight for the throne may make Aramis betray his sacred vow, "All for one, and one for all!" In this concluding episode of the Three Musketeers saga, the actions of Aramis and the other Musketeers - Athos, Porthos, and the most dashing of them all, D'Artagnan - bring either honor or disgrace. . . and a horrifying punishment for the final loser in the battle royal.
Metamorphosis, In The Penal Colony and Other Storiesby Franz Kafka Joachim Neugroschel
Translated by PEN translation award-winner Joachim Neugroschel, The Metamorphosis, In the Penal Colony, and Other Stories has garnered critical acclaim and is widely recognized as the preeminent English-language anthology of Kafka's stories. These translations illuminate one of this century's most controversial writers and have made Kafka's work accessible to a whole new generation. This classic collection of forty-one great short works -- including such timeless pieces of modern fiction as "The Judgment" and "The Stoker" -- now includes two new stories, "First Sorrow" and "The Hunger Artist."
The Necklace and Other Talesby Guy De Maupassant Joachim Neugroschel
Ranging from poignant scrutiny of social pretension, to wicked tales of lust and love, to harrowing stories of terror and madness, the genius of Guy de Maupassant, France's greatest short-story writer, is on full display in this enthralling new translation by Joachim Neugroschel. The stories Neugroschel has gathered vividly reveal Maupassant's remarkable range, his keen eye, his technical perfection, his sexual realism, his ability to create whole worlds and sum up intricate universes of feeling in a few pages. Adam Gopnik's Introduction incisively explores the essence of Maupassant's unique style and his tremendous, if unjustly unacknowledged, influence (on everything from the American short story to contemporary cinema), bearing eloquent testimony to Maupassant's continuing and vital appeal.From the Hardcover edition.
The Nutcrackerby Joachim Neugroschel E. T. Hoffmann
One of five beloved Christmas classics Written in 1816 by one of the leaders of German Romanticism for his children, nephews, and nieces, The Nutcracker captures better than any other story a child's wonder at Christmas. The gift of a handsomely decorated nutcracker from a mysterious uncle sets the stage for a Christmas Eve like no other for the little girl Marie. That night, Marie's extraordinary present comes to life, defends her from the taunting Mouse King, and whisks her off to the Kingdom of Dolls. The inspiration for the classic ballet, E. T. A. Hoffmann's irresistible tale of magic and childhood adventure continues to captivate readers of all ages. Today, many of the most enchanting symbols of Christmas, from nutcrackers to sugar plums to mistletoe, are still imbued with the power of this story. Penguin Christmas Classics Give the gift of literature this Christmas. Penguin Christmas Classics honor the power of literature to keep on giving through the ages. The five volumes in the series are not only our most beloved Christmas tales, they also have given us much of what we love about the holiday itself. A Christmas Carol revived in Victorian England such Christmas hallmarks as the Christmas tree, holiday cards, and caroling. The Yuletide yarns of Anthony Trollope popularized throughout the British Empire and around the world the trappings of Christmas in London. The holiday tales of Louisa May Alcott shaped the ideal of an American Christmas. The Night Before Christmas brought forth some of our earliest Christmas traditions as passed down through folk tales. And The Nutcracker inspired the most famous ballet in history, one seen by millions in the twilight of every year.

The Piano Teacherby Joachim Neugroschel Elfriede Jelinek
Erika Kohut teaches piano at the Vienna Conservatory by day, but at night she trawls the porn shows while her mother waits up for her. Jelinek won the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Siddharthaby Hermann Hesse Joachim Neugroschel Ralph Freedman
Hesse's famous and influential novel, Siddartha, is perhaps the most important and compelling moral allegory our troubled century has produced. Integrating Eastern and Western spiritual traditions with psychoanalysis and philosophy, this strangely simple tale, written with a deep and moving empathy for humanity, has touched the lives of millions since its original publication in 1922. Set in India, Siddhartha is the story of a young Brahmin's search for ultimate reality after meeting with the Buddha. His quest takes him from a life of decadence to asceticism, through the illusory joys of sensual love with a beautiful courtesan, and of wealth and fame, to the painful struggles with his son and the ultimate wisdom of renunciation. This new translation by award-winning translator Joachim Neugroschel includes an introduction by Hesse biographer Ralph Freedman.
Venus in Fursby Leopold von Sacher-Masoch Joachim Neugroschel Larry Wolff
First published in 1870, Venus in Furs gained for its author both notoriety and a degree of immortality when the word "masochism" -- derived from his name -- entered the psychiatric lexicon. The novel describes the sexual obsessions of Severin von Kusiemski, a European nobleman with the desire "to be the slave of a woman". Severin finds his ideal of voluptuous cruelty in the merciless Wanda von Dunajew. Not simply a lurid tale of sexual perversion, nor a Victorian fantasy of antique decadence, Venus in Furs is a passionate and powerful portrayal of one man's struggle to enlighten and instruct himself and his world in the realm of desire. Influential on Freud, Thomas Mann, and Arthur Schnitzler, Venus in Furs remains a classic literary statement on sexual submission and control.

Judge Roger L. Gregory will become the next chief judge of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports (http://bit.ly/29fC5FY ) Gregory will replace Chief Judge William B. Traxler Jr., whose seven-year term expires Friday.
The Richmond-based court, which has 15 active and two senior judges, handles appeals from Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
University of Richmond School of Law professor Carl Tobias says the active judge with the most seniority — and who's under age 65 — becomes the new chief judge when the prior chief's term expires.

Impact observatory – WING framework
An Impact Analysis Observatory was set up by DG INFSO in 2005 to analyse the impact of completed RTD projects in the ICT area, starting from FP5. The objective was to establish a framework for a systematic and rolling process of data collection, analysis, interpretation and reporting.
The observatory focused on the following types of impacts:
- Scientific and technological impacts;
- Economic impacts;
- Social and environmental impacts;
- Policy and regulation impacts.
It looked at long-term impacts, which can occur a few years after project end, rather than direct results and outcomes of projects.
Ex-post impact analysis contributes to the continuous and systematic monitoring and ex-post evaluations, which are a formal requirement for the Commission.
A total of 15 domain-specific studies covering FP5 projects have been performed. An additional study looked at the impact of a first wave of completed FP6 projects completed by the end of 2007.

Previous studies
1/ Impact Study
Launched in 2003, the "Impact study" led by DATABANK developed a methodology for the systematic impact analysis of all IST RTD activities and tested the methodology on three specific domains: "Microelectronics and microsystems", "eHealth" and " Mobile communications".
According to the study, the IST priority in FP5 and its predecessors in FP4 contributed substantially to the increase of the knowledge base, the skills of researchers and the development of research and knowledge networks in the Microelectronics and Microsystems, Mobile communications, and Health research areas, leading to enhanced competitiveness for most participant organisations.
Key reports and documents
Final Report , Micro , Health , Mobile , Methodology
2/ Study on Impact of IST Programme and its predecessors
In March 2003 a consortium led by IZET was contracted to carry out the "Study of the impact of the IST programme and its predecessor programmes Esprit IV, ACTS and TAP". The objective was to provide some input for the work of the 5 Year Assessment Panel. The Final Report was submitted in May 2004.
The study is based mainly on the analysis of all documents available (final reports, TIPs, exploitation plans, etc.) for about 900 IST RTD projects funded under FP4 and FP5, with a specific focus on business and economic impacts. The methodology involves the positioning of each project with the use of 25 indicators grouped in five categories and the identification of 58 "high impact projects". Though the study is mainly focused on project level, an attempt was made to provide some conclusions also at domain level, in particular in the area of "Microelectronics and microsystems" and "Language engineering".

I'm a white parent, and I want my white kids to be like Brandon Brooks when they get older.
He's the teenager who filmed the pool party incident in suburban Dallas, at which a police officer violently restrained 15-year-old Dajerria Becton and pulled his gun on others. That was smart of Brooks, and bold. His remarks to the press since then have been pretty perceptive, too.
Or, in twitterspeak, #jamesconewasright
In "God of the Oppressed," James Cone recounts how Christian responses to the 1967 Detroit riot revealed not only an insensitivity to black suffering but a larger theological bankruptcy on the part of white theologians. As he saw it, they were not genuinely concerned about all cases of violence. Worried about the threat of black revolutionaries, they did not see the structure of violence embedded in U.S. law and carried out by the police. Cone asks: "Why didn't we hear from the so-called nonviolent Christians when black people were violently enslaved, violently lynched, and violently ghettoized in the name of freedom and democracy?"
A song by Moe
In the midst of all the unarmed black people dying at the hands of police and the even larger problem of anti-black ideology that has normed our society, I thought it fitting to share Moe's song. Let me know what you think about his song entitled Brown Skin.
Context, social hierarchy, and the crucified Christ
May we not domesticate the Jesus story for our own religious comfort, but in telling the story, and doing so truthfully, may we worship our crucified Christ and encounter his delivering presence, and therefore be transformed after the image of God.
America's conversation about race has, like all of our public conversations, come to consist largely of a running commentary on viral spectacles. Recent weeks have been rife with them—the Oklahoma University SAE video chant and the dreadful scene of the double shooting of police in Ferguson; the awesome images of a sitting and a former president crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma on the anniversary of Bloody Sunday, heading a massive multiracial and multigenerational crowd; the face of University of Virginia student Martese Johnson, bloodied by Alcohol Board of Control officers.
Between April 1831 and February 1832, two officials of the French government under Louis-Philippe toured Jacksonian America. These two officials—Alexis de Tocqueville and Gustave de Beaumont—were on assignment to research prisons in the United States and later produced a report of their findings in 1833. But while traveling through America, Tocqueville and Beaumont were also carefully observing political and social life in the new republic. Both men published works on their observations. Tocqueville wrote Democracy in America (1835/1840) and Beaumont wrote a novel, entitled Marie or, Slavery in the United States (1835).
Most Americans are familiar with Tocqueville's work, but Beaumont's novel is less well known.
So much religious talk is about naming, about describing a general reality in particular terms. This is important. But in our increasingly secular culture, it's always striking when someone gets at deep religious truth without bothering with religious language.
For instance, Jay Smooth offers a pretty crisp explication here of the nature of sin and virtue.
Deuteronomy 18:15–20
In the wake of Michael Brown's shooting by Darren Wilson and the subsequent protests in Ferguson, Lauryn Hill posted a song called "Black Rage."
Turning the table on the discussion of socialization leading to communal practice
Mennonites for example are actually 20 percent nonwhite in North America, and mostly non-white when considered from a global perspective. They are not the Mennonite Church you imagine in your head.
Changing the game and changing our rhetoric around race and racism.
Merely speaking about this incident and mentioning racism resulted in the common backlash accusation of playing this mythical item. It is used over and over again by some white people instead of engaging in dialogue through sharing and listening, the choice is made to stigmatize and scapegoat those that disagree that America is mostly a colorblind post-racial nation. There are certain scripts that the white majority learns and rehearses through subtle socialization in dominant culture. Rather than doing the hard work of careful in-depth investigation of the matter, quick cliché dismissals are used to uphold the status quo. The status quo is silence about racism other than pointing out the overt cases, as well as getting into extensive conversation about reverse racism. While I have often gotten frustrated by these little remarks that dismiss black experiences without doing the hard work of listening and wrestling with another perspective, I decided that from now on I was going to "play along" with their game.

This doctor seems to write or atleast requests his patients to write good reviews about him out here on this web site .. more of a business tactic..no calls were ever answered forget follow ups..he is in in for the money , every body gets a scope regardless...amazing how he falsely portrays himself here and makes ppl write good reviews about himself...so full of it!
I was referred to Dr Chalasani by my primary care physician. Dr. Chalasani saw me right away (did not have to wait for an appointment, got one the same day!) He spends as much time as I need with him and explains so that I can understand. Dr. Chalasani has called me at home to follow up with me on how I was feeling. Although we are in the beginning stages of my chronic condition, Dr. Chalasani had been a God send to me. I am very pleased with the care that I am receiving and highly recommend him!
I was seen by Dr. Chalasani while at Spring Hill Hospital when he was covering for Dr. Muftah. Dr. C is a wonderful doctor. Spent more time with me than ALL my other doc's combined. Took time to explain and treat my condition much better than the other gastro's in town. WOULD DEFINITELY recommend to all
Probably one of the best doctors I have had at explaining my medical problems in an easy to understand way. Very caring.
excellent young physician. He is a welcome addition to the community. I have recommedned him to several people already
amazing this guy is a doc he has no manners !!!

CORPUS CHRISTI - Dr. Jacek Koziel, Texas Agricultural Experiment Station assistant professor of air quality engineering at Amarillo, will receive the Texas Section of the American Society of Agricultural Engineers' Agricultural Engineer of the Year Award at the group's annual meeting.
"I am honored and humbled to receive this award. I must thank the professional engineers who recommended me. Some outstanding agricultural engineers in Texas have received this honor, I am proud to be counted among them," Koziel said.
Koziel is a faculty member of the Center for Agricultural Air Quality Engineering and Science in Texas A&M University's Biological and Agricultural Engineering Department and Texas Cooperative Extension.
He also is an adjunct professor at West Texas A&M University in Canyon.
"Dr. Koziel is a young faculty member who came to us with a great deal of promise. We take a great deal of pride in his accomplishments so early in his career," said Dr. Gerald Riskowski, professor and head of the Texas A&M department of biological and agricultural engineering.
A native of Poland and naturalized citizen of the United States, Koziel earned bachelor's and master's degrees from Warsaw University of Technology, Poland. He has a master's degree from the University of Alaska, Anchorage, and a doctorate from the University of Texas at Austin.
Koziel joined ASAE in 2000 and serves on several technical committees.

Winter Fruit Kuchen
As awesome as it is to bake loads of holiday cookies, boil up sticky sugar syrups for Christmas candies, and otherwise revel in the creation of seasonal desserts and edible gifts for the entire month of December, I have a particular soft spot for Christmas morning baking. Just the thought of frosted windows, a glowing tree atop a mound of glossy wrapped presents, Bing Crosby on the stereo, the pitter-patter of cozy jammied feet scurrying down the stairs, and the smell of spicy-sweet breakfast treats wafting from the kitchen make all the holiday rush worth it. Oh, the joy of Christmas morning!
Granted, that moment lasts all of about six minutes until someone pulls someone else's hair, or trips over said cozy jammied feet landing square on the poor dog, or knocks a mug of coffee onto the carpet while tearing at wrapping paper like a clown on fire. But that's why God gave us coffee in the first place, and the allowance to eat all the pastries we want for breakfast on Christmas day. The promise of homemade baked goods, preferably something yeast-risen, will buoy us all through the madness.
Big Sur Bakery's Scones
When you've decided to move out of the house that you've lived in for six-plus years and are surrounded by boxes and crunchy packing paper and millions of pounds of tiny plastic toys and two kids' worth of baby clothes and ugly maternity clothes and unread magazines (and God only knows what's lurking under that forgotten area under the basement steps), what's the most obvious thing to do? Spend three days trying to make a freaking scone recipe work, of course! HAHAHA OH GOD PLEASE SEND XANAX UNTIL MID-OCTOBER.
Needless to say, I've been tired these past couple weeks. Tired and anxious and overwhelmed, and trying not to lose my mind. What I've learned is that even people who think they don't save anything (like me) can still hoard unused and/or unusable junk in every imaginable corner. (Apparently my approach to maintaining order in my house while starting to write my third book when the baby was just three months old was to just keep shoving everything in the garage to avoid making decisions–brilliant!) I've also learned that once you have more than one kid, quarterly purges are necessary. I've decided this is my new life plan. At least until my kids get their own houses to fill up with their own useless junk. In the meantime, I'm the one that has to do the household purging, and so I used the testing of a scone recipe as the distraction to keep from throwing myself off the overstuffed roof.
Sugar and Spice Popovers
Fellow moms out there–holla if y'all hear me?–this is our weekend. Our legit ticket to be pampered and flowered and gifted upon and generally do whatever the heck we want without apology or guilt. I encourage you to embrace it, whatever that means to you at your given stage of motherhood. It could be as extravagant as a spa day, or just some extra sleep and plenty of wine, or for some of you with toddlers and younger, this simply might mean peeing alone. For me, it will mean a little family getaway, and maybe, if I'm lucky, this necklace, a lemon meringue cake from Tartine, and a t-shirt that says I SHAMELESSLY ASK MY HUSBAND FOR GIFTS BY BROADCASTING MY WISHES ON THE INTERNET. A girl can dream.
The point is this–you do you, ladies. Whatever it takes to remember that we all deserve a little breather and a major high five for keeping our offspring alive and cracking open our souls for them every single day, and living with the sort of constant, low-lying anxiety (what do they need/where are they/how are they/who will they become) that buzzes deep within us at all times because we are mothers. We should treat ourselves with a little something homemade and sweet and simple, or at least give our partners and kids a simple, awesome recipe that they can make for us (and for crying out loud, clean up afterwards). And if you're not a mother yourself, consider this recipe the perfect way to treat the mothers in your life in a breakfast-y way.
Chunky Monkey Coffee Cake
In my last post, I raved about my love of the one-pan wonder at dinnertime. Which, of course, immediately got me thinking about one-bowl/one-dish wonders when it comes to baking. As much as I love pulling out every crazy baking pan and gadget and really getting into it in the kitchen, after months and months of recipe development and testing (and an appalling amount of dishwashing), there's nothing better than the feeling of a throwing together a recipe that feels as easy-breezy and dump-and-stir as a boxed cake mix, but isn't…a boxed cake mix.
There are a few one-bowl, minimal dish-dirtying favorites in my arsenal that I go back to time and time again, like these brownies, or this banana bread, that are so simple and satisfying, it's as though you can feel your all the scraggly edges of your weary soul fusing back together as you stir. In a busy life that sometimes make you want to punch yourself in the face from all its pressures, that's the good stuff, right there. They're the kind of recipes that remind me why I love to bake. I just dump everything in and stir, stir, stir my way back to sanity.
Baked Clementine Vanilla Bean Doughnuts
At the risk of sounding like a citrus-loving Joan Rivers, can we talk about clementines? I feel like they're everywhere right now–great, big cardboard flats of them for, like, five dollars a box or something crazy, calling from across the produce section with the promise of sweetness and light and sunshine, even though as I understand it, most of the country has been in a never-ending winter.
(I say "as I understand it", because here in California, an occasional rainstorm is as close to we get to anything resembling winter weather, and we mostly just, you know, ride our bikes around in t-shirts to go eat kale salad outside and "LOL" and "OMG" over all the banaaanaaazzz weather we've been hearing about online.)
(As it happened, I was actually stranded in New York for a week because of a snowstorm last month, so I guess Mother Nature sensed my meterological la-la-la-ness and decided to show me how soft I've become during my 10 years on the West Coast. Touché, fair lady.)
But even in a mild-weathered place like California, we really do appreciate citrus during our "winter". It's a burst of happy food no matter where you live, all these clementines in bulk. Every year I succumb to buying at least one flat, intent on being all virtuous and snacking on them instead of spoonfuls of peanut butter or cookies, tucking them into lunchboxes and all that jazz. But even after countless little orbs eaten out of hand and a dozen packed lunches, the pile of clementines never seems to shrink. Not one bit. How many clementines does a person have to eat to make a dent in one of those boxes, for real? My fingertips are permanently stained from all the e-z peeling. Forget this noise. Let's make doughnuts. (And share a little news with you, while we're at it.)
Little Cocoa Liege Waffles
Maybe it's because I'm a late February baby, but I've always had a thing for Valentine's Day. Abundance of twee notwithstanding, I just sort of love the idea of a Love Day. Granted, there have been years when I was Valentine-less, but even then I guess it was the hope that one day I would have a Permanent Valentine that buoyed me, along with a legit excuse to get chocolate wasted. These days, I still get chocolate wasted on Valentine's Day, and this year in particular I'm pretty excited about celebrating some Big Love with our Little Family. There's a lot that's happened in the past several months, plenty of ups and downs and stressing until I think I might lose it (and on a couple of occasions I totally have). But we might (maybe? Please, universe?) be entering a bit of sweet spot right now, a little calm before the next inevitable storm. And so I say, bust out the chocolate. Turn dessert into breakfast, or vice versa. And good grief, don't forget the Champagne.
Homemade Müesli
People, my cabinets are an unholy disaster. And I don't mean that in a humblebraggy, Pinterest-y "Oh, my kitchen is so MESSY! Look at how crooked my Weck jars are on my sparkling clean refrigerator shelves!" kind of way. I'm talking about half-opened boxes and bags of every ingredient imaginable, shoved haphazardly into any available square inch of real estate. Pulling anything out is like a game of Cellophane Wraps and Cardboard Box Jenga. It's not cute. I mean, I do actually own Weck jars, purchased long ago with the intention of having a Pinterest-worthy pantry situation going on, but now they're shoved into the back of the hoarder's lair, probably surrounded by some spilled jasmine rice from that week in 2011 when I was very into trying to cook more exotic dinners, and then realized I had a kid who wouldn't eat anything but buttered noodles. Gah.
The situation kind of reached a new level of insanity after the holidays, though. With all the new recipe development I've had going on, plus holiday baking, the amount of edible odds and ends has multiplied at an alarming rate. Every time I step into the kitchen I get very Joan Crawford, flapping my arms and shouting things like, "I simply cannot WORK under these conditions!!" and then pouring myself a Weck jar full of vodka before retiring to my chaise lounge.

Your Views for August 9
Save the pools
The YWCA pool began 2013 with $49,000 received through generous donations from a December fundraiser. Even with Christmas buying, this large sum was raised in a short time by our community, showing how much we value and support the pool.
Between January and July, pool activities included water aerobics, lap swimming, family swimming, pool parties, swimming lessons, and scheduled use by preschool and summer-fun classes. Then, on July 25, swimmers were notified the pool would be closed. Two days later, a front-page article in the Tribune-Herald indicated the outside pool would be filled in.
There are two pools at YWCA. One is a covered therapy pool, the only one of its kind on this island. A group of 70 people used it for therapy purposes. Second is the outside pool. It is a solar-heated, salt-water-treated pool. Built-in steps give safe, easy access for preschoolers and swimmers who have difficulty climbing down or pulling up on ladders attached to the sides.
Talking with swimmers, you'll hear "my cholesterol levels are lower," "my blood pressure is down," "I've lost weight," "after surgery I can exercise my shoulder, hip, etc.," and "it keeps me limber even with arthritis."
What can be done to develop funding to keep these two pools operating? Is there someone — a "fairy godmother" — who can help? The public has shown its support. Hopefully, the YWCA administration will give the community a chance and not fill in the pool.

Defending pope
This is in reply to Mr. Dennis Chaquette's letter, "Pope's pimp ride," Tribune-Herald, July 30, which I consider very demeaning. However, to answer your convictions, you perhaps should have asked ex-President John F. Kennedy, had he survived the assassin's bullet that killed him while riding in an unarmored automobile.
And insofar as you equating Jesus Christ with your subject matter, I would offer: During Christ's time here on Earth, the high-powered rifles and AK-47s, along with the demented persons who use them for murder, weren't around yet!
Question: How much did you contribute to the cost of the pope's "pimp" vehicle? You may dislike the pope, and that is your right, but ask yourself, "How has he personally affected me in an adverse manner?"

Tasting Notes
Matchbook Cabernet has layered aromas of violets and cloves with dense blackberry, Bing cherry and cranberry. Bright cherry and chocolate, clove, mint and firm tannins are prominent on the entry. The lingering finish is a rich blend of cherry truffles, cedar and spice. This full-bodied red wine has loads of chewy chocolaty tannins, but with very elegant aromas of violets – a wonderfully impressive combination. Pair this wine with red meat like a pepper crusted seared rib eye.
Wine Maker Notes
Lake County is California's hidden treasure for growing cabernet sauvignon grapes. We carefully blended in cabernets from Alexander Valley and Chalk Hill to amplify the structure, and a little merlot to soften the tannins.
Technical Notes
Blend: 56% Lake County Cabernet Sauvignon; 25% Lake County Merlot;19% California Cabernet Sauvignon
Additional Notes
WHY MATCHBOOK?As a farm kid growing up in the late 1950´s and early 1960´s John Giguiere was a confirmed pyromaniac starting various things on fire such as his father´s wheat field. At one point, fearing total ruin from his kids burning him out of the house and farm, his father took them to the city jail for an hour stay to impress upon his brother and him the futility of their fascination with fire. John and his brother answered at a later date by graduating from random fires to the launching of rockets which often blew up at some stage of the its journey resulting in more random fires and a call to the local fire department for help. They eventually grew out of this fascination with the "Matchbook" but still have fond memories of the power they possessed.About the AppellationMatchbook has seven products, all focusing on varietals that perform well in the warm Dunnigan Hills climate. We blend a percentage of coastal fruit to the Dunnigan Hills wines to add structure and intensify flavors.

Historical Traveler Reviews Tianbao International Hotel Shenyang
Very nice stay
I stayed at the Renaissance during World Youth Day last summer. Everything was really nice. The food was good. The rooms were clean and spacious. The pool area was very well kept. The staff was always ready to help even with the large size of our group. We walked everywhere in Cologne without a problem. I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Cologne.
Good hotel, near the city
We stayed there first week of January 2006 for 2 nights (leisure break). Room was okay, mini bar and tv there. We didn't like the pillows (too thin). Breakfast was wonderful (with omelette and whaffles). Surrounding may be a little noisy in summer (bars, restaurants there). We didn't try the pool or fitness equipment. You can walk to the cathedral within 10-15 min. Parking in hotel garage is 19 Euro/24 hrs, opposite the hotel you can park in another garage for 12 euro/24 hrs.
If you like sauna and mineral bath go to Claudius Therme in Cologne, wonderful !
Price was 99 Euro/ 2 pers/night incl. breakfast.
In total: I recommend the hotel for leisure break and business.
Many errors
We wanted to stay new years eve in Cologne and unfortunatly the intercontinental was fully booked, so we booked at the renaissance by internet at Marriott. At arrival it seemed that the internetbooking wan't arrived at the hotel, although i had a confirmation by email. after some hassle we got our 2 rooms at club lounge level for 185 euro. Problems start with the rooms. Both the rooms the heating did not work. I had to make 3 phone calls to the frontdesk to get an mechanic and every time they told me he would come but just didn't show up. At the end this bell boy with painted hair showed up with an terrible attitude and asked if the windows were closed properly and said he could not do anything with the problem but could give us a electric heater. My friend has to get angry first and pointed that it was his problem indeed and that we would not settle for this price with an electric heater in both the rooms. And surprise surprise, after 2 hours an mechanic showed up and fixed only one of the rooms! because we did not wanted to spoil the whole evening i settle for the electric heater in the end. when we turned the next morning to breakfast this girl at the buffet said that it was not inclusive of the price and wanted us to fill in a form that we took the breakfast as an extra. Again in protest because we had booked inclusive. She then made an phonecall to the frontdesk and after that she said that because of the problems with the rooms we would get the breakfast complimentary, but only in this case! She said we could have had the breakfast in the clubroom inclusive but we were to late and that ended at 11 o'clock. strange, we went first to the clubroom but that was spotless clean and no sign of breakfast what so ever! Anyway, when we came at the breakfastlounge, we could still see the signs of the party that was going on there the night before and only big round tables for at least 8 persons to sit at. Overcrowded and no room to sit as with 6 other strangers. if i wanted to meet with people i would have booked Club Med...With some good luck we found to spots to sit in between the dirty glasswear en plates of guests before us. It seemed that this was not the normal breakfastroom because the usuall was taken in for some formal new years brunch party thing. We quickly ckecked out after that, afraid we would go over the 12 o'clock check out time and charge us for that as well. Maby it was not an good idea to go this time of year in a hotel, i don't know but we certainly are not going back to the renaissance! What a dissapointing experience.
Wonderful Hotel
I stayed here with my Girlfiend for 1 night on an unbelievebale "Romance Package" deal that they are running on their website. For €199, the deal includes: Junior Suite, Champagne, Chocs and fruit, included pay movie, access to snacks and drinks lounge, dinner including wine, late checkout.
Arrived and treated like royalty. Staff couldnt do enough. Bed was covered in petals and hearts, unbelievable.
Only possible criticism was that nightclubs next door very noisy and even though on floor 4 room was quite noisy until around 0400. Ask for rooms away from back of hotel and this would be fine.
Overall unbelievable deal. Still cant believe it. Was quoted more on discount web site for Hilton standard room only!
Terrific Beds - Great Location
We stayed at this hotel because of a TripAdvisor review which called this the "Best Renaissance anywhere". That sounded pretty good to us. We found the convincingly comfortable modern bed and the copious numbers of pillows provided to justify an absolutely top rating - after all, sleeping is important in a hotel. In addition, the location of this hotel near the social hub of the Friesenplatz in Cologne in the summer can hardly be topped. This was a business trip, so we will have to return to try out the rest of the facilities.
Near the famed cathedral!
My husband and I stayed here on a Globus tour in Aug., 2005, and thought the hotel was wonderful! Lovely, large room with good location for a walk at night. Food was good, staff pleasant. A credit to the Marriott Corp.!
Best Renaissance anywhere
I travel about 150 nights a year and stay exclusively at Marriott brand properties, and have stayed at 15-20 Renaissance properties in the last two years.
This was the best Renaissance property I have ever been to. The staff was friendly, accommodating, and spoke perfect English.
I ate several times in the hotel restaurant and thought it was delicious with excellent service. The bar, too, was a great place to relax.
The room was freshly redone in a very modern way. My room had a big comfy leather club chair, really comfortable bed with high quality bedding, and a clean, good-sized bathroom. The room overall was not the typical small room you often find in Europe. It was very "W"-like if you have ever visited one of the W Hotels.
The pool, in the basement, was really nice, too with an attendant on duty.
Highly, highly recommended.
GREAT value, amenities & service!
Great hotel only about a 10-15 minute walk from the cathedral along a nice shopping street. The whole staff was very friendly and spoke excellent English. We got a good deal in the off season - less than 100 euros per night for a very nice standard double room - not huge, but very quiet, with nice decor & quality bedding - including breakfast (though when there are conferences in town, I hear the price goes up). There was a bottle of wine waiting in the room (for an extra 7.50 Euros), and we called to have bathrobes & slippers delivered - great for after the pool. The parking under the hotel was safe - 18 Euros for 24 hours. We had breakfast delivered to our room in the morning for no extra charge. We would definitely stay here again!
Beautiful property!
What a great hotel! Well located just a short walk from the train station, shopping, restaurants and bars/clubs. The multilingual staff warmly greeted us when we arrived, gave great and helpful information, and were friendly throughout our 3 night stay. Room was very modern and very comfortable. The hotel restaurant was also very good although a tad overpriced at breakfast. Not surprising for such a nice business-class hotel, I guess.
I would definitely stay again!

Wonderful location
FINALLY - feeling like my old self!! I thought I was losing it!! We had a nice dinner last night - it was the chef's farewell dinner...7 courses...luckily they are not into huge portions, but we thought the 5th course was the main course...the staff is so diverse and they all have their own story, and they want to tell their story, which is nice and a little to personal sometimes...I guess that is a fine ...
Andernach to Cologne
... tall narrow glasses, starting at 200ml - unlike their Bavarian cousins who start at 500ml!!
Before dinner we had a farewell Captains Cocktail Party on board followed by a Farewell Captain's Dinner (a 5 star 5 course dinner to die for). Afterwards there was a dance party in the lounge and membes of the crew joined in - great fun, & a few sore heads in the morning (not mentioning any names ...
... The Romans were fairly sophisticated in their infrastructure, for example, in 1995 when installing a new sewerage system the contractors discovered the remnants of a bricked sewer tunnel with ran for at least 130 metres towards the river. However there is no record of this facility being used within the last 1000 years. A section of the bricked sewer has been reconstructed above ground. Our tour included an archeological dig in the Jewish quarter with remains dating back ...
Köln a rest
... a task but rather an adventure with each day offering different views and challenges.
We've now ridden 1,268km and have about another 500km or so to go.
From our perspective it's gone so quick. I'm reminded reasonably regularly that buying the Pino was Lisa's idea - that's true without her insistence that we go for a test ride in Holland a few years back there'd be no Pino and certainly no 2015 Pino Adventure!
Lisa tells me I ...
So calm in Cologne
... I considered it a smaller city, especially after seeing Berlin and Munich. So I was pretty shocked when I found out that it was actually Germany's 4th biggest city. Once the tour had finished, I was pretty cold and needed to warm up. And we all know the best way to warm up in Germany at Christmas time... Okay, so sorry to disappoint but I didn't have glühwien! Instead I went for a hot chocolate with rum! The shots that go in the drinks at ...

The Amazin' Avenue Annual 2010 is an unofficial fan guide to the 2010 New York Mets. It features
* Player Profiles
* Historical Essays
* Prospect Reports
* Statistical Analysis
* Team Commentary
* Full NL East Preview
Amazin' Avenue is an online Mets community where we insist on a fans-first, facts-first approach to coverage of the NY Mets. We always stress the importance of empirical evidence to support any and all claims, from "David Wright isn't clutch" to "Alex Cora knows how to win" (A: "Yes, he is," and "No more so than anyone else").
Don't let that scare you away, though. We're not a bunch of heartless, basement-dwelling spreadsheet-jockeys. We write passionately about the team we love, and we do so with an even-handed approach that balances objective statistical analysis with thought-provoking subjective commentary. And MS Paint.
So download the free PDF right now!
You can also buy the book from Amazon in one of two flavors:
- A standard version for $6.43
- A full-color version for $30.59
