I knew an old duffer who was fond of saying "Common sense isn't so bloody common anymore now is it." sounded great in his British accent.

Last blog we were n Dubai with these fine gents . . .
So then, once home, jet lag set in. I hadn't fully un-jet-lagged from Singapore, when I flew to Chicago to yuk it up, then in less than a week to Dubia, as seen here and here and here. However, I was cheered by these beautiful bowls I brought back with me . . .
I also burned some incense from the middle east, but I think I did it wrong. Luckily nothing caught on fire . . .
Despite all my travels across the continent and the world, I actually do do (oooh, you said "do do") school visits in my home state! What? You don't believe me? Well here's proof . . .
That's right, I was at Hollow Hills Fundamental School in Simi Valley, CA . . .
We set up in the multi-purpose room . . .
While I was checking the mic, Peepy did some exploring . . .
The assemblies went great . . .
Later, I did a writing workshop for some of the 6th graders. Here they are. Wait, here are some 6th graders, a bear, and teacher Holly Dye with me. Can you tell which is which?
After our visit, PTA mom Sonya Zavala presented with Peepy with a gift basket!!!
In other news, at her urging (insistence) Peepy has asked me to update her web page. Now you can see some of the fabulous place she's visited, like these . . .
(CLICK HERE to see more.)
So then, as some of you might know, I'm hosting the Children's Choice Book Awards Gala this year. (Squeeeee!!!) Now, here's the really awesome part, look at who the presenters are. I know!

In other news, this past week the Real Mr. Glick, from STANFORD WONG FLUNKS BIG-TIME, was substitute teaching in North Carolina. Here he is with Son . . .
He's doing a read aloud in a 7th grade class and what book does he read aloud from? You got it!
Real Mr. Glick read some of the passages about Fictional Mr. Glick, who is based on Real Mr. Glick! Here's what he told me . . .
Is that cool, or what? How surreal for the students!

By now, we've all heard about the good, the bad, and the ugly coming out of Days of our Lives. The good? They've been picked up. Official word still forthcoming. The bad? The pick up comes at a cost. We've heard -- a 40% budget cut. Let's play that out in numbers. That means, say for example, they used to have $1,000,000 to produce an episode. Now, they only have $600,000. That's a huge chunk of lost bucks. The ugly? Actor's salaries are being cut, and one, so far, Jay Kenneth Johnson (Philip), has opted out of the pay cut, so he's out. Also out are Deidre Hall (Marlena) and Drake Hogestyn (John) as the show is giving their character's a "rest." Find out more. Meantime, the soap opera Examiner and long time Soapdom friend, Mary Montanari, has this take on the situation. Gobble, Gobble to the Corday bird. Contributed by LMS

ABC Daytime and SOAPnet head hauncho, Brian Frons, talks with Mel of Mel's Diner about the direction All My Children is heading with it's gay storyline. He also discusses The View. In fact, the article is mostly about The View, but if you go to the third video on the page and read the paragraphs surrounding it, you'll get Frons' take on what's shaken at AMC right now.

Although All My Children's Alicia Minshew's Kendall is battling a coma some place in Canada at the moment, the actress will appear this week in an episode of "Life on Mars." Watch for her to guest star tonight, November 13th. Contributed by LMS
Back to more All My Children Buzz, it is being reported that Rebecca Budig (Greenlee) will extend her stay on the soap through the Spring of 2009 to tie up loose ends with her storyline. Additionally, Tad fans can now rejoice. Michael E. Knight, the long-time AMC vet and fan favorite has signed again on the dotted line to remain with the show. However, we won't be seeing him at Super Soap Weekend this final year of that event. He's been a mainstay at every Super Soap in the past, commanding long lines for autographs and staying long hours to make sure everyone got their pic with him, not to mention a few hugs and kisses. Soapdom can't help but wonder if the reason he was not invited to Super Soap this year was due to iffy contract talks. Who knows. Now that the contract is signed, perhaps he'll be a suprise guest.

SOAPnet announces three original series to debut in 2009. First up is "Greg Behrendt's Wake-Up Call," from Avalon Television. Who is Greg Behrendt? For those who may have just returned from Mars, Behrendt has consulted for "Sex and the City," co-wrote the book "He's Just Not That Into You" and hosted his own daytime talk show This SOAPnet incarnation will have Behrendt addressing one couple's major issues each week and using practical and funny relationship expertise to give them the tools to fix their problems. The series will air at 11 p.m. Thursdays beginning Jan. 8, kicking off SoapNet's six-week programming event "Sugar-Free Valentines." The second new series is called "Being Erica," but no, it's not about Erica Kane. This Erica is 32-year-old Erica Strange (played by newcomer Erin Karpluk), a highly educated but underachieving single woman who can't understand why her life is heading nowhere. She gets help from a mysterious man named Dr. Tom (Michael Riley), who enables her to go back in time and relive an event. Tyron Leitso also stars. The series, produced by Temple Street and the Canadian Broadcasting Corp., has been picked up for 13 episodes and will premiere in the spring. Finally, sit back and get ready for SOAPnet's docusoap that's tentatively titled "Southern Belles," y'all. This series follows the professional and romantic lives of five single Southern women in their 20s and 30s. "Belles," from Endemol USA and ABC Media Prods., is in production in Louisville, Ky., on 10 one-hour episodes for a 2009 premiere. Contributed by LMS

text: If we go to WDW the last week of December, 2013 (yes, it's insane, I know, but it's the only time DH and I can be off work at the same time), and stay offsite (it would be much cheaper), would we still be allowed to go to the resorts and check out the Christmas decorations? This is one of the things we've always wanted to do, and I'd hate to miss it just because we decided to stay offsite and I didn't ask ahead of time. We usually stay at POP, but it's $209 per night during that time frame.

IT is one of life's rich ironies that Frank McDougall had to wait until the age of 53 before he finally moved abroad.
The former Aberdeen striker is now living in Brazil, but if he had been playing in the modern era, he would surely have earned a lucrative foreign transfer. McDougall was so prolific during his time at Pittodrie, that he was Europe's third top marksman. With football being so global now, it's fair to assume that McDougall's predatory instincts would not have gone unnoticed for long.
The man who swopped the Granite City for Brasilia in 2011 will be watching to see if Niall McGinn can equal his club record of scoring in eight consecutive league games when they take on Celtic, yet McDougall was robbed of the chance to witness his own demolition of the Parkhead side exactly 27 years ago. McDougall scored all four goals in Aberdeen's 4-1 rout at Pittodrie in November 1985, but a strike by television employees kept everyone else in the dark.
Loading article content
"I am the only Aberdeen player in history to get four goals against Celtic and the rest of Scotland never saw it," said McDougall, now 54. "The television cameramen went on strike. I remember Sir Alex Ferguson was furious. I was gutted. How often do you get the chance to do that to Celtic? I will be able to see something from the game at Pittodrie, even if it's just on the internet. I watched both of Celtic's Champions League matches against Barcelona.
"I moved to Brasilia last year with my wife, Isabel, because it's her home town, but I have sent Niall McGinn an email wishing him the best of luck. Records are there to be broken and if he matches my eight in a row by scoring against Celtic, he will deserve recognition."
McDougall became a cult hero to Aberdeen fans during two-and-a-half-prolific seasons as Ferguson's team won successive Premier League titles in 1984 and 1985 before a back injury suddenly forced him out of the game aged 29 in January, 1987. The Glaswegian was a frequent thorn in the side of Celtic, which is ironic due to the fact he was a fan of the club, and his biggest regret was that he never got the chance to pull on a green and white shirt, unlike McGinn, before his switch to Pittodrie last summer.
"Billy McNeill tried to buy me for Celtic in 1979, just after they had become champions," recalls McDougall." I was at Clydebank and had scored 28 goals for them in the Premier League. Celtic offered £140,000 for me but then St Mirren came in and offered £180,000, which was a Scottish record at the time. It would have been great to play for Celtic. I grew up in Cadder and, like all my friends at St Augustine's secondary, I supported Celtic. But going to Love Street was a great move for me because Saints had a great team then, with my mate Billy Stark, and I did so well that Fergie bought me for Aberdeen to replace Mark McGhee."
McGhee's transfer to European Cup holders, SV Hamburg, in January 1984 proved prefect timing for McDougall. "I was the top scorer in the Premier League in 1984-85 with 24 goals," he adds. "That got me the European Bronze boot as the third highest scorer on the whole continent. No Aberdeen striker had a better goals-per-game ratio than me, and I would have score many more if I had not had to pack it in at 29.
"My time at Aberdeen was fantastic. We had a great team and we ruled Scottish football. We won every trophy going, but the two titles were the best. It has been a long time since the fans at Pittodrie have had anything to really celebrate. The club was in the doldrums before I left and gates were down to about 6000. A lot of managers have come and gone, but Craig Brown has made them tough to beat again, and found a goalscorer in McGinn. I hope they get a sellout at Pittodrie against Celtic. With Rangers out of the league, it is wide open, and if Aberdeen beat Celtic, it would show they have the bottle to match the champions."
After so long spent by the North Sea, one might have expected McDougall to have made his new home next to the Copacabana when he sold his pub in Aberdeen. Yet, he chose to settle some 500 miles from the nearest beach. "Brasilia is in the middle of the country and is my wife's home town. I am in the process of setting up a football academy for kids here because I just love the game."

Less resolution is an understatement. It will likely be half resolution for 3D sources--in other words, NOT high definition. Both left- and right-eye images must be flashed on the screen simultaneously, with opposite polarization. This means that each separately polarized eye image will occupy half of the available (1920 x 1080) pixels. If you overlay this with the half resolution 3D we're going to see with broadcast 3D (full resolution 3D for each eye will be available, for now, only from Blu-ray), the result could get ugly.The only way around this would be if a giant polarizing filter is put in front of the entire LCD screen, a filter that can switch polarization up to 120 times per second. This, combined with polarized glasses, can feed alternating, full-resolution frames to each eye. Shutter glasses do the same thing, but don't need polarization. But I can't see Vizio goint this expensive route, which leaves us with half resolution 3D from polarized glasses.
CEALS 2010: Vizio
At the Vizio booth we got a look at the XVT3D654SV, a 65-inch LED-backlit LCD TV with passive 3D technology. Pros: High light output, the glasses can be manufactured for pennies. Cons: Less resolution than active-shutter 3D. The technology is baked into the panel so the set can be used only for passive 3D. Shipping and price not available. Also introduced: other new LED sets and wi-fi Blu-ray players.
Submitted by John Franks (not verified) on August 11, 2010 - 6:22am
Half resolution may not actually be as bad a trade off to get 3D compared to the loss of brightness experienced with the LCD shuttered glasses for other sets. You may be able to increase the brightness for 3D viewing as with the most recently reviewed Panasonic plasma, but then what happens to the blacks? Also, with a 65-inch set, viewing distance will be around 10 feet and I am not sure at that distance that one can tell half resolution (I know telling 1080p from 1080i may be possible due to the "softer" image of the 1080i picture, but telling 1080p from 720p is nearly impossible at 10 feet).

ACC Football by the Numbers: Does NFL Talent Equal Results?April 28, 2009
Anyone who watches sports knows that bringing in talent is simply not enough.
Coaches have got to be able to produce with that talent, otherwise it is all the more frustrating for a fan-base to be stuck in middle of the pack in their conference standings.
When it comes to college football, we see a wide array of coaches. Some coaches are able to have big seasons with minimal NFL talent while others squander opportunities to make a run towards greatness.
So I decided to take a look at the talent in the ACC (starting with the 2003 season, the season before expansion) and how it compares to the results on the field.
Obviously some coaches have seen their pink slip during that time period and some coaches did a wonderful job of developing players into NFL players while some came tailor-built for greatness.
Those variables represent the unpredictability of college football, but the results for these programs during this time period are as follows:
NFL Draft Picks by College (2004-2009)
1. Miami-32
2.Florida State-31
3. Virginia Tech-29
4. Virginia-23
t5. Clemson-19
t5. Maryland-19
t5. N.C. State-19
8. Georgia Tech-17
9. North Carolina-14
10. Boston College-12
11. Wake Forest-11
12. Duke-1
These numbers are not particularly shocking. Miami and Florida State have incredible reputations for bringing in a cadre of blue chip players. That is the appeal of the Sunshine State.
Virginia Tech has become the dominant ACC team since joining the conference so it makes sense that the Hokies would be near the top.
The Cavaliers have cultivated some very good offensive lineman these past few years and Al Groh's NFL connections certainly help give his players the benefit of the doubt.
The next seven ACC teams are separated by eight players.
As for the Blue Devils, well Duke is Duke.
First Round Picks (2004-09)
1. Miami 12
2. Florida State 7
3. Virginia 5
t4. Boston College 4
t4. North Carolina State 4
t6. Maryland 3
t6. Virginia Tech 3
t8. Clemson 2
t8. North Carolina 2
t10. Georgia Tech 1
t10. Wake Forest 1
12. Duke 0
Miami clearly leads the way here at 12, with positions 3-11 all bunched together. Clearly having first round talent is not something that grows on trees.
Recruiting classes come and go but bringing in and developing potential first round picks is no small task.
For the ACC, talent appears to be pretty well distributed throughout the 12 schools.
Therefore the question must be asked, how did these teams do during this stretch?
ACC Team Records (2003-2008)
1. Virginia Tech 60-20
2. Boston College 56-22
3. Florida State 50-27
4. Miami 48-27
5. Clemson 47-28
6. Georgia Tech 46-31
7. Maryland 43-31
8. Virginia 42-32
9. Wake Forest 41-33
10. North Carolina State 34-29
11. North Carolina 28-44
12. Duke 12-58
That's right, the three ACC teams that bolted from the Big East occupy the first, second and fourth positions on the team record board.
Granted these team records bleed over into their tenure in the Big East but that does not change the fact that the two teams that have appeared the most in the ACC Championship game occupy the top two spots on our board.
The bottom three teams are the only teams to have losing records during this stretch and all three have experienced coaching changes.
The early dividends on all three replacements appear to be good and soon these numbers could change dramatically.
Until then, we can only speak about programs in general.
ACC Teams (Draft Rank, Winning Records Rank)
Boston College (10, 2)
Clemson (5, 5)
Duke (12, 12)
Florida State (2, 3)
Georgia Tech (8, 6)
Maryland (5, 7)
Miami (1, 4)
North Carolina (9, 11)
N.C. State (5, 10)
Virginia (4, 8)
Virginia Tech (3, 1)
Wake Forest (11, 9)
By the numbers it is clear that Boston College has won the big over-achiever award for the ACC.
The Eagles have a done a great job of producing quality seasons despite only having 12 players hear their names called on Draft Day.
Boston College has won at least nine games every year since 2004 and although they lost a first rounder in Matt Ryan last season, they were still able to win their division.
It will be interesting to see what will happen now after a second straight coaching change in the last three years.
Will this uncertainty upset the continuity of success? You would have to think so.
Numerically, the biggest underachievers would be the North Carolina State Wolfpack and the Virginia Cavaliers.
If you're a Cavalier fan, you are used to hearing this argument. Virginia coach Al Groh has done a good job of developing talented players, he just has problems winning big games with them.
Virginia has actually produced more first round picks (most in the top 10) than their arch-rival in Blacksburg, yet it is the Hokies who are constantly bringing home the ACC Championship.
In this time period explored, Virginia has beaten the Hokies only once.
Win a few more of these games and the Cavaliers actually could have made it to Jacksonville and the tables may be turned.
However, the past is the past and if Groh does not make a brighter future he may face a similar fate to that of Chuck Amato.
The Wolfpack have brought us great NFL players like Phillip Rivers and Mario Williams, but they have also brought fans two winning seasons in the past six seasons.
In 2005, N.C. State had three first rounders and a 7-5 record.
After a 3-8 record where the Wolfpack seemed to almost forget how to win, a change needed to be made.
The Wolfpack now have Tom O'Brien, a solid coach who helped make Boston College the overachiever it has been.
O'Brien has his program on the rise and is becoming a trendy pick to surprise people next season.
Will he help take the Wolfpack from underachievers to overachievers?
Well that's the glory of football, we will just have to wait and see.

For comparison of brightness settings across the different age groups, instrument panel (IP) (dashboard) brightness settings in the vehicles were recorded using the control setting selected by the participants. Absolute measures of brightness for the different vehicle and systems were not collected. Measures were made by dividing the range of each vehicle's IP physical adjustment range approximately into eighths. The final position of the control as set by the participant was recorded within this range. Due to different controls in each vehicle, only the settings for SUV 3 are used here for comparison of IP brightness across the age groups. Figure 82 indicates the mean setting of the IP brightness control and standard error for each of the age groups.

Similarly, in-vehicle display brightness settings were recorded by dividing each vehicle's in-vehicle display physical adjustment range approximately into eighths. The final position of the control within this range- as set by the participant was recorded. Figure 83 indicates the mean in-vehicle display brightness setting and standard error for each of the age groups in each vehicle. Due to different controls in each vehicle and different gain on the controls, comparison is not possible from vehicle to vehicle.

Last month's decision by the Dade County Commission to reject an ordinance that would have guaranteed equal protection for gays may have been the most important vote that body has taken in years. It is doubtful, however, that commissioners realized the significance of their action. After all, it's hard to fit big-picture ideals into such narrow minds.
But the seven-to-five vote to kill the ordinance -- without even allowing members of the gay community to testify on its behalf -- was a watershed event: It will either mark the starting point in a campaign of political activism within the homosexual community or be recalled as the moment when gay men and women cemented the view that they are electorally irrelevant in South Florida and their concerns are easily dismissed.
To judge by the way gay activists handled the commission, things certainly can't get much worse. The greatest misinterpretation of this debacle was giving Dade's Christian Coalition the credit for striking down the proposed ordinance by marshaling hundreds of Bible-toting hooligans and sectarian crazies who virtually held the commission hostage, refusing to leave until the gay rights measure was defeated. "It failed because you had 600 people filling the chambers and flowing out into the lobby, and commissioners just got intimidated," offers Barbara Howard, a lobbyist hired by the gay community. "This was not a religious issue. This was supposed to be a civil rights issue, but the Christian Coalition just sort of beat the commissioners down."
That's an apt expression of the prevailing theory: The gay rights measure failed because a handful of commissioners -- most notably Dennis Moss and Miguel Diaz de la Portilla -- were intimidated and voted against it.
But that theory is wrong. It wasn't cowardice. It was pettiness.
The ordinance's failure is due more to personal rivalries on the commission dais than to the brand of religious terrorism practiced by the far right. In fact, the gay community's biggest hurdle -- and one it failed to recognize -- wasn't the ordinance's opponents but its sponsor, Commissioner Bruce Kaplan.
On a commission filled with, er, colorful characters, Bruce Kaplan is the jumbo box of Crayola crayons. "I'm a maverick," Kaplan jokes. Actually, he's a political schizophrenic. His district stretches from the conservative neighborhoods of Little Havana, through a patch of Overtown, and across the bay to the southern half of Miami Beach. He was once a Democrat, he's now a Republican. He's Jewish, fluent in Spanish, and makes his living as an attorney. He is probably one of the brightest commissioners, but he rarely uses that intelligence to prepare for meetings or properly research issues.
Kaplan was first elected to the commission in a 1993 race against Conchy Bretos in which he managed to distinguish himself by running one of the dirtiest campaigns in Dade history (no small feat). In the four years since, he has been investigated numerous times by the Dade State Attorney's Office for a litany of questionable deeds, though he has never been criminally charged with any wrongdoing. In 1995 he admitted violating the state's Sunshine Law and paid a $500 civil fine.
For these reasons and others, Kaplan is viewed warily by his fellow commissioners, who are always searching for ulterior motives in his actions. And so it was when he introduced the gay rights ordinance. When news of his intentions first surfaced several months ago, the immediate suspicion was that he was attempting to endear himself to Miami Beach's gay community, with an eye toward running for mayor of that city this fall. Although Kaplan has repeatedly publicly denied such a plan, as the ordinance was being drafted he was privately exploring that very possibility and had consulted with advisers and friends about his chances of winning and whether it was worth the risk, given that he'd have to resign from the commission in order to run.
In recent months Commissioner Kaplan has made other gambits designed to raise his profile on the Beach. He attempted, for instance, to introduce an ordinance that would have restricted the flight path of jets taking off from and landing at Miami International Airport, so as to limit the noise on Miami Beach. (That measure crashed as well, presumably because commissioners saw it for what it was -- political grandstanding.)
Even the gay community was caught off-guard by Kaplan's decision to champion a gay rights bill. Jorge Mursuli, a member of the executive board of SAVE (Safeguarding American Values for Everyone), says Kaplan had contacted his group several months earlier asking for information about gay rights laws across the nation. "We put some material together for him and then we didn't hear anything from him, until all of a sudden we heard it was going to be introduced," Mursuli recounts. "Kaplan had put the draft of the ordinance into the county attorney's office [for review] before he had a chance to call us to let us know what was happening."
Kaplan rejects the idea that his sponsorship of the measure in any way affected the outcome ("I think that is just nonsense") and contends that an article in the Miami Herald "outed" his ordinance before he had time to line up the necessary support.
Assuming that's the case, Kaplan's relationship with his colleagues was all the more crucial. Regardless of who sponsored such a measure, commissioners Katy Sorenson, Gwen Margolis, Jimmy Morales, and Barbara Carey would likely have voted in its favor; during their campaigns they had all publicly stated their positions in support of gay rights. Add Kaplan's name and that made five votes -- just two shy of the seven needed to pass. Although Commissioner Betty Ferguson had come under intense pressure from religious groups to oppose the ordinance, gay rights advocates say she had told them in the final days that she'd support it. One vote to go.
The two commissioners gay activists were hoping to sway were Dennis Moss and Miguel Diaz de la Portilla, both of whom have fairly progressive voting records and have advocated treating people fairly and with compassion.
Neither, however, is a fan of Bruce Kaplan.
For months Kaplan has tried, without success, to have the director of the county's Corrections and Rehabilitation Department, Donald Manning, removed for incompetence, going so far as to personally conduct surprise raids on inmates in the county's troubled house-arrest program in an effort to embarrass Manning. Moss -- who, like Manning, is black -- has repeatedly come to Manning's defense and has been openly hostile toward Kaplan over his maneuvers. Diaz de la Portilla has likewise been scornful of what he considers Kaplan's attempts to showboat in the media.
In the week leading up to the June 17 gay rights vote, Moss's and Diaz de la Portilla's offices were swamped with calls from ordinance opponents. The Christian Coalition is solidly entrenched in Diaz de la Portilla's district; the black clergy in Moss's constituency possesses an even larger cudgel. For both, a vote in favor of the ordinance may have invited a long and protracted fight for their political lives. And neither was willing to make that sacrifice for an ordinance sponsored by a man they disliked and whose motives they distrusted.
Moss refused to be interviewed for this story. Diaz de la Portilla initially agreed, then later failed to return phone calls seeking his comment. But he did make his feelings known in a letter to Kaplan after the vote. (Kaplan had written to each commissioner, thanking those who had supported the ordinance and asking those who opposed it to "reconsider your position and defend the rights of all of your constituents.")
The only commissioner to respond to Kaplan's gesture, Diaz de la Portilla wrote that he would not reconsider "[because] the ordinance appears to be more political than substantive," after opening his missive with a sarcastic thank-you to Kaplan for his "heartfelt letter."
Of course, Javier Souto, Pedro Reboredo, Natacha Millan, James Burke, and Miriam Alonso also voted against the ordinance. But had someone other than Kaplan sponsored it, the outcome might have been different. If, for instance, the initiative had been announced by Mayor Alex Penelas, then Burke, Alonso, or Millan might well have simply walked off the dais when the vote was taken, thereby giving supporters of the measure a greater chance of winning. Instead they stayed and shoved it down Kaplan's throat.
Political consultant Ric Katz agrees that Kaplan's sponsorship of the ordinance may have helped doom it. "I'm sure that was part of it," says Katz. "Petty personal feuds may have had something to do with killing this measure. But that wasn't the only reason it died."
He's right. Personalities would never have prevailed if the gay community in Dade County weren't so powerless. "The gay community continues to be in a weak position when it goes begging, hat in hand, for rights that should be ours anyway," Katz asserts. "It is our responsibility to become more politically active. It's not that we've dropped the ball; we haven't even started to play the game."
Dade's gay population is seen as a coastal community, he goes on: "You can use the interstate as a dividing line. We have some measure of influence east of Interstate 95 but none west of it. Until we make our presence felt in Hialeah, Kendall, and Westchester, we shouldn't expect to win these sorts of fights."
Diaz de la Portilla's vote illustrates the point. His staffers say he received dozens of phone calls from constituents opposed to the ordinance and not one single call from anyone in support of it. "This thing was so totally lopsided in Miguel's district that we shouldn't have expected him to vote for it," says Katz. "We've got homework to do, and so far we haven't done it. But we are certainly capable of doing it."

Greg Baldwin, who helped found SAVE as well as Dade Action PAC, is also optimistic. "If you want to see discrimination and bigotry in its ugly form, then take a look at the faces of the seven commissioners who voted against us," says Baldwin, an attorney at Holland & Knight. "They would not even afford us the right to speak. I live in Reboredo's district. And his vote against this measure did more to organize the gay community in his district than anything I have done in the last fifteen years."
Agrees Damian Pardo, SAVE's chairman: "This was not about Commissioner Bruce Kaplan. This was about
human rights for a large segment of the people of this county. It is a wake-up call for gays to become more active. For the first time in a long time, we know that we have seven people who we have to work against at the next election, and we have five people who we have to work for. We know what we have to do. Our choices have never been clearer.

Thursday, June 24, 2004 – CHELMSFORD, MASS.—ZOLL Medical Corporation (NASDAQ: ZOLL), a manufacturer of non-invasive resuscitation devices and software solutions, announced today that four clinical studies presented at Cardiostim 2004, a major cardiac electrophysiology conference in France, further demonstrate the superior performance of the ZOLL Rectilinear Biphasic™ waveform (RBW).
The first was a retrospective study of 1,887 external cardioversion procedures in 1,361 patients, which demonstrated that the ZOLL RBW was shown to successfully cardiovert patients weighing 300 to 430 pounds, with an average energy reserve of 37 joules (J), achieving a 100% success rate. The reserve provides an additional therapeutic margin for patients that are difficult to defibrillate. The study was conducted by Mark J. Niebauer, M.D., Ph.D., Associate Professor of Internal Medicine, and Director of Electrophysiology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha.
Three other studies, which further bolster the clinical effectiveness of ZOLL's RBW, include:
· A prospective randomized study showed that the ZOLL RBW provided superior defibrillation performance in a porcine pediatric model, when compared to another commercially available biphasic truncated exponential (BTE) waveform, in terms of energy dose per body weight (RBW 2.2 ± 1.1 J/Kg, BTE 2.5 ± 1.3 J/Kg, p = 0.0186) and per heart weight (RBW 3.5 ± 1.8 J/g, BTE 4.0 ± 2.0J/g, p = 0.0161). The study was completed by Wanchun Tang, M.D., Vice President of Research Institute for Critical Care Medicine in Palm Springs, Calif.
· A prospective, randomized controlled trial found that RBW defibrillation was superior to monophasic damped sine (MDS) waveform defibrillation for patients initially presenting in a shockable rhythm in an advanced cardiac life support setting. Additionally, shock success for the 200 J ZOLL RBW was superior to the 360 J MDS waveform (53%, 38%, p = 0.015) for defibrillation of all out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients regardless of the presenting rhythm. The study findings were presented by Laurie Morrison, M.D., of Sunnybrook and Women's College Health Sciences Center and the University of Toronto.
· A study of 28 patients with persistent atrial fibrillation confirmed that internal cardioversion using the ZOLL RBW is feasible and safe, and requires less energy than classic damped sine defibrillation waveforms. The study findings were presented by Georges H. Mairesse, M.D., Department of Cardiology, Cliniques du Sud-Luxembourg in Belgium.
According to Richard A. Packer, President and Chief Executive Officer of ZOLL, "These findings add to the accumulated clinical evidence, which supports the superiority of ZOLL's technology in trials involving more than 8,600 patients. In addition, our M Series™ defibrillator, equipped with our biphasic waveform, is the only device cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to be labeled clinically superior to monophasic defibrillators for conversion of ventricular fibrillation in high-impedance patients, and for cardioversion of all atrial fibrillation patients. Therefore, we believe that our proprietary biphasic waveform offers compelling clinical benefits that provide customers with a strong reason to choose ZOLL's biphasic defibrillators."

Bihar to continue grants of universities with 'tainted' VCs: Education Minister
Bihar government will continue to give grants to universities
in which the Governor has reappointed tainted persons facing criminal charges as
VCs said, Education Minister, P K Shahi. The state gives grants of Rs 3,000
crores annually to the universities in Bihar.
The minister detailed the confrontation between the Raj
Bhavan and the state government on the issue of VCs appointment during question
hour and said though the rules were not followed; the state government would
continue to give grants to the universities in larger public interest.
"Tainted persons have been appointed VCs in state
universities. Some of them are facing cases registered with the vigilance and
local police stations while some have been censured by the principal chief
accountant general. Some of them face criminal charges, too," Shahi said.
He said that the state would have an effective monitoring
and control over the grants to the universities. The minister informed that the
government is creating a special audit cell in the state education department
headquarters to control and monitor the financial management of the
universities. The cell would start functioning from April this year.
The minister termed all the appointees were tainted, he said
that the VC of JP University, Chhapra, was facing vigilance probe, the VC of
BRABU, Muzaffarpur, is charged in cases registered for irregularities in
examinations, and the Kameshwar Singh Darbhanga Sanskrit University (KSDS) VC
is also facing police probe in two cases.
Shahi claimed that the Patna University VC is
facing a vigilance probe into financial irregularities. The principal AG of
Bihar, in a detailed report, has pointed out that the VC enjoyed the
hospitality of a leading contractor at Trichy and travelled by air on the
expense of the company which was given a contract of Rs8 crores by the
university in a single tender, reported Times of India.

Cannot install Skype on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
I am totally new to Linux. Have Ubuntu 8.04 LTS installed on my PC. Managed to get most things working reading forums/FAQs etc, but am completely lost trying to install Skype on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. However easily installed Skype on my Puppy Linux booting from USB stick. Have tried almost everything I have read - gone to medibuntu, downloaded deb from Skype etc. The only thing I haven't tried is to try convert the rpm file to deb - I don't seem to be able to get 'alien' or something to convert.
Am I chasing something not do-able or has anyone actually installed Skype to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS?
Simply add the following line to your sources.list file (usually /etc/apt/sources.list):
deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free
Now you can use apt-get update to sync to latest repository and then apt-get install skype to install Skype on your machines.
Is it that you can't get it installed or you can't get it to work ? Sometimes you have to adjust some audio settings.
Thanks David,
I have tried what you suggest before, and tried again. Skype doesn't appear in the list of available packages after adding, and when I tried to install via apt-get I get an error code. Have also tried to install directly by downloading the skype-debian_18.104.22.168-1_i386.deb but again it fails to install - something about a 'broken pipe'.
Perhaps there is something wrong with the deb file from skype? I have also downloaded the rpm file from skype but don't know how to convert it to deb.
Appreciate your help though.
Have you tried typing "skype" into a terminal ?
Thanks again. Yes, I have. But 'skype' is not installed.
When I tried to add the repository for skype I get the following error message:
"Failed to fetch cdrom:[Ubuntu 8.04.1 _Hardy Heron_ - Release i386 (20080702.1)]/dists/hardy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot be used to add new CD-ROMs
Failed to fetch cdrom:[Ubuntu 8.04.1 _Hardy Heron_ - Release i386 (20080702.1)]/dists/hardy/restricted/binary-i386/Packages.gz Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot be used to add new CD-ROMs
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead."
I don't know why its trying to get from a CD-ROM, even though I specified the skype http. This has also happened during some other software upgrades as well thru the Synaptic Package Manager.
I downloaded the skype deb file from Skype, but the installation thru Gdebi also fails due some "dpkg error - process killed (broken pipe)."
Thinking there was a problem with the deb file, I downloaded the rpm file from skype and tried to convert to deb file with alien. But alien does not seem to recognize the rpm file on the desktop.
This is real frustrating - I can run Skype from a USB stick on any Windows computer - and just when I am beginning to enjoy using Ubuntu!! :-)
Oh well, I guess all good things must come to an end...
It's trying to download skype and other things from your cdrom drive because you still have the install cdrom listed in your /etc/sources.list file. It always hits the cdrom first if it's there, to avoid going to the net for things that are available locally. You can either edit the cdrom out by hand, or open synaptic or your package manager of choice and disable the cdrom as an install choice from there.
This is the line you put into your /etc/apt/sources.list file.
deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free
What did you mean by "even though I specified the skype http" ?
I just upgraded to 8.10, and installed skype with the instructions from that link, and it worked for me, first time. Did you follow the instructions closely ? It does work, I just did it.
P.S. I'm sorry...I didn't give you the complete link. My fault. First, edit out the cdrom entry in /etc/apt/sources.list
Then, put in the line above. From where it says "deb" to the end of that line. (copy and paste the whole line.) Then open a terminal, and type....
sudo apt-get update
Then type in....
sudo apt-get install skype
Let us know if it works....
Oh, the LTS is really only of value if you are purchasing support from canonical. If you aren't, then I would use the most recent version of Ubuntu, as they have most likely worked out a great many bugs that might drive you insane.
Thanks a bunch!!
I removed the CD-ROM as a source as you suggested, and this time I got no messages with respect to CD-ROM type failures. Then followed your instructions on apt-get to get skype and install. The install failed, and looking thru the script - there appeared to be a problem with some duplication in the skype-common package.
I removed the skype-common package and installed skype thru Synaptic Package Manager. Bingo!! Skype was listed in my applications and I was up and running!!
Now I don't have to get out of Ubuntu just to use Skype!!
Also thanks for your comments re 8.04LTS vs 8.10 - I was just looking for a stable version while I learned some basics. Most likely will upgrade when I am more confident.
Again, thanks - for your patience. You have been a real help.
Frankly, that is making things way too complex. All you need to do is go to http://www.medibuntu.org/
and read the repository how-to to set it up. After that, you can install not only skype skype but google-earth, dvd functionality, codecs, etc. from synaptic.
Thanks. Actually, medibuntu was the first thing I tried after reading as much as I could about the problems I had - unfortunately the CD-ROM issue described above prevented me from doing anything. Now that this has been fixed I can see that that was the real problem!! And I think having the 'extra' skype-common package also prevented me from installing the deb from skype direct.
I have since gone to medibuntu and installed music /dvd codecs etc. without difficulty, thanks.

This is a great return of Lucille into the world of tribgirls. There was still a score to settle between Nina and Lucille. Nina hoped that the timing of this match was in her interest because Lucille hasnt had a sex fight since a long time and she clearly seemed to be almost too hot for that. Nina also thought that Lucille would be too hot and too uncontrolled this time, giving Nina a good chance to win this rematch in oil. Perhaps Nina was right. Wed never seen Lucille that hot and horny going into a trib match. Youll see the chemistry but also the true love between these two blonde rivals. Theyre certainly two of the best women and once again theyre proving it to us. When Nina began to compare Lucille with her sister Pamela, Lucille becomes very outraged and then shes fucking Nina even harder than before. Theyre both willing to win this match also the longer it goes the harder it becomes for both to hide their orgasm. Finally they both explode in a wave of uncontrolled orgasms that will rock your screen and your whole room. Its like an eruption of a volcano, almost unbelievable. Now you can finally smell the mix of tension, rivalry and love between those two wonder women. Without doubt this is one of the best and most intense trib matches in oil ever. Dont miss it. After youd finally watched it youll agree with us that Lucille did return almost like a giant avalanche into our tribgirls site!

It truly is hard to fully express hot this match was. What's harder to imagine, is that it has been over a year since these two trib queens have squared off in a trib match! But this fact only serve to create such a great match. The suspense and anticipation just added fuel to this amazing duo.
Where to start? Well as the title states, these two are not human! These two sexy women are in a whole other level when it comes to sexiness. Having these two beauties in one room, is a feat itself. Now to the match itself. It starts off in the bedroom where the girls are exchanging their conquests of past Tribgirls, and in typical Lucille fashion, she is coming off cocky and confident. Nina doesn't seem to mind, seeing as she is one of the best, and wants to see if Lucille can put her money where her mouth is. A hot make-out, which sets up for Lucille requesting a trib match in oil. Anyone want to object? Definitely not! We cut to the blue mat, where the bottle of oil makes it's appearance. Things are really heating up!!! I'm assuming that the smoke alarms were turned off at this point and that they had a fire extinguisher on stand by.
It should be noted, that this was easily the hottest oil application scene I have seen. Even topping the one involving Petra and Lucille. Both spent ample amount of time to explore and ensure that every square inch of both there bodies was glistening in oil! The erotic tension during this scene was palpable. You definitely get the sense that you they/us are in store for something special. Once completely drenched in oil, the trib match quickly begins. No pussy footing around, the girls get right into the good stuff. You would think that with such hot stakes, one woman would be cumming very quickly, but this doesn't happen. In fact we get treated to one hell of a trib fight. And a fight it was! Fully competitive and absolutely equal. Both women brought an amazing arsenal of weapons and technique to the match.
As for the finer details of this match, you have to see it for yourself. No need to do a play by play. It is better for you to see it with your own eyes. All I can say, is that the chemistry and passion was unmatched. BOTH were just as hot for one another, and both were in heaven, exploring the body of the other. A key note that should be pointed out though, and I found very intriguing. During the trib match, when both are nice and hot, Nina taunts Lucille about how Pamela is better. Lucille responds rather emphatically! Nina then follows up with a further question...who would win between the two(Lucille/Pamela). I think most will want to pay attention to her response. Hopefully Pamela was not watching! Anyway, this moment really seems to set up the rest of the match. From that point on, things get very orgasmic! Quite easily the best and hottest ones you will see. Both girls get set off into the stratosphere! Three alternating orgasm, that get successively more intense and hotter, until both are left orbiting the earth! You will be in awe as you witness these two bringing one another to new heights. Also hearing them shouting each others name as they cum, or say "F#ck me" and best "squirt", will drive you crazy. So did Nina raise her record to a perfect 3:0 against Lucille, or did Nina finally see why Lucille may be considered the true trib-queen? Or do they both walk away, equally satisfied? You'll have to watch for yourself. I think it is best to leave it in the words of Lucille..."This is the best sexfight in my life"!
Overall: One of the best sexfights out there, if not the best
-Two of the most beautiful women Tribgirls has to offer
-Amazing chemistry, technique and added bonuses(kissing, rubbing, and hot sex talk)
-both girls completely drenched in OIL!!!
-Finally, three of the most earth shattering orgasm you may see
Such a priviledge,

335 Nina v Lucille
Long long awaited return of our beautiful lover Lucille. Long long awaited confrontation with Nina. Coquettish elegant randy pure female delightful Lucille and the possessor of the the most wondrous hips in the business, Miss Playboy herself, Doctor Statuesque Nina.
Horny women take their time fondling and pulling as they disrobe, off the bed and against the wall. Crotches magnetically drawn, hot handling between the legs. Cocked legs and thrusting hips and more fondling of curves and crotches. Classic classic and most beautiful women on horny women you can ever see. No wonder, all of Tribgirls girls, management and fans, love them to death. Just look at them
all your fantasies ever could be. You can almost make out their scents from here.
Long fondling and kissing session against the wall; they sound ready to go. Anticipation off the clock
they get into heated action serious manipulations they eat eachothers face. Thorough mutual masturbations.
Oil the chosen medium, they strip eachother and allow full exploration. Nina has Lucille on all fours completely naked and inviting the application of oil and application of bodily lubricant for anyone watching, including Miss Applicator of course. Can Lucille look any more inviting?
The wonderful thing with Windows media means you can pause
and admire the poses. Classic 10 is what were watching. They each squat and stand as the application process is driving the mounting desire; kissing, breast manipulation and more oil between the legs now Nina knells on all fours and invites
pawing and lubricating and stroking and complete appreciation. They are very happy with eachother and delight in allowing flaunting their free access to all the erogenous zones and the pleasure they give and take. They are very excited (stating the obvious) but this is perhaps unique atmosphere between the two, who enjoy eachother for us so freely. Lucille again goes all fours to display her superb rump and magic g spot below, knees slightly apart here it is guys, heaven. Such a beautiful smooth quimm, it makes one dribble. Nina oils some more. Stoking carefully that swelling cunt. Nina opens her own legs to display to Lucille her availability. Nina wants more contact, flesh on flesh, mouth on mouth, breasts loved, hips and buttocks start to heave and thrust, clench and fornicate, still knelling. The sex wrestling starts to obvious delight, big Nina allowing Lucille to wriggle and squirm all over as stockings are removed. Hips are drawn together, legs are split and warm gentle tribbing ensues with Lucille dominant. Glistening and panting, the pair go at it it. More rubbing and neck biting and heavy trib position. They look sex starved and are feasting to compensate. Its all about sweet Lucille scrabbling to pin Nina and fuck her brains out. The oil and Nina make this difficult
the essence of oil fights. They wrestle and try clean engagements and fail but mounting and remounting provide a vista of rampant oil soaked super models about to climax. Like a pair of circling dogs on all fours, Lucille catches the entire lower hips, Ninas wondrous hips and stokes away around the most awesome buttocks and round to the swollen and rampant pussy below. Two handed masturbation and Nina keeps her legs spread to enjoy the manual engulfing from above and below. Thrusting hot missionary from Lucille threatens hottest Nina holding Lucille tight and taking the fucks with legs akimbo. Lucille obliges in the fucks and thrusts and rythmns we know so well. Nina just manages to lift herself some time but persistant and humping Lucille still has Nina on her back and slow tribs. Nina reverses, good sex with another girl is obviously like riding a bike it all cums back so quickly, you never forget. Lucille back squats over Nina and enjoys watched the ravishing cunt and rubs it some more to keep Nina on the rack of climaxing ecstasies. Lucille looks so cool inflicting all this emotion and sexual heat.
So close they are, so much energy expounded, they actually roll apart at one stage both right on the edge; many a time it looking like Lucille would dog fuck Nina but Nina did want to give that way. They grapple and slip and Lucille does get Nina face down with a clear run on her cunt and masturbates away with magic shot of Lucille on the rump to fuck her daylights but slips off again as Nina backs in and down. But she cant keep Lucille beneath as she slips out and continues to dog those fabulous hips kneeling once more to reach the complete beautiful puss of Nina. Lucille catches Nina by the ankle and half dogs and they both struggle so close to controlling their fucking. They both wriggle and mangle eachother always engaged. Then Nina kisses and missionaries, wanking Lucilles chest and split tribs for home. Somehow Lucille reverses (she been practising). Some verbal winding up re Lucilles sexy sister, takes some heat off momentarily then back to slippery rutting. Untidy frenetic exchanges with purchase difficult in applying real pressure. Lucille works hard to keep a dog on the back of Nina always trying to mount and hold to fuck into, but Nina isnt accepting the dominant ritual from rampant Lucille. Lucille gets it on and they both are so close and together they work to have the final say. Nina stays face down and Lucille persists in a half dog of pure a lust. Like two well practised lovers, they know now they are going to cum together and in a simply huge exchange of blistering take off and orbit, Nina takes off with a fabulous high and kicks whimpering and colouring up, as blood deserts all the normal places and knocks her out, helpless. In her delirium recovering she takes Lucille between the legs and Lucille winces. She is that close. Nina does the job; she gets out and back on top and fucks seven bells out of the begging Lucille who just needs full and proper sexual release now. There partnership has taken them to new heights but Lucille still need her release and sweet dear Nina is in full flow to give it to her. Nina fucks herself almost to a stand still and Lucille screams her huge climax asking for continual ejaculation from the humping Nina. Nina too feels completely what her lover is going through and climaxes her self in synchronised and mutual cumming; yes perhaps the highest and heaviest climaxes weve yet witness and further evidence of the depth of feeling that the two have for eachother. Truly an astonishing and rapturous performance, exquisitely beautiful and awesomely strong. Truly unique and a mutual display of how much the pair now mean to eachother. Can they get better sexual enjoyment anywhere else? One doubts it.
They hold eachother close and lovingly, in mutual support, Lucille still reeling as Nina just keeps gently pleasuring Lucille into recovery.
They are both still pumped and further tribbing and positioning has the rolling princess wanting more front heir swollen hot parts, just to wind down. They roll and hump and suck and in the back of your mind you believe for the biggest ejaculation, Lucille wants a clear dogging on the enormous rump of Nina but Nina when shes face down and backed on Lucille obviously enjoys the very highest of rampant fuck desire. It plainly ticks every box and for a second or third time, Nina enjoys herself completely humping back into Lucille who does her best in anyway to provide the pressure and stimulation to have her friend blow her head clean off. Well practised lovers take eachother top new heights every time and this is no exception from Nina. It is an orgasmic orgasm of exquisite proportions as second climaxes often are, working off the residue of the initial enormous programme. They hold eachother close as lovers do when they take eachother and share such colossal lust and release with eachother.
Long may it continues on Tribgirls. Its truly special and fans in our tight knit community enjoy a special privilege when these two come together and share their passions with us. Simply this is a classic download. Concentrate and enjoy. Closer the curtains and understand how women work. Its IS the most beautiful sight in the world
Lucille, Nina we do love you so!
PS, lets do without the oil next time. Making love will be purer without it.
Much more Pleasure than Competition - just great!

As I surely have written in many reviews, I really don´t care about the competition aspects her - for me it´s just a pleasure to see young and very attractive women drive each other to ultimate heigts of sexual pleasure by rubbing their beautiful bodies against each other until they enjoy orgasmic release.
And this is exactly what you can see in the fantastic last 10 minutes of this video - the competition fades away, the way they look at each other changes and Lucille is really fucking Nina from behind - both have real joy in their eyes, which is also great to hear.......they quiver both and hold hands in a strong orgasm which is beautiful to watch. But the show even gets better, when Nina is fucking Lucille - both screaming at each other extatically to fuck each other harder and they get two more really mindblowing orgasms......so beautiful to watch!!
Clearly a 5 Star if there had been less competition at the beginning
Please more of this last 10 minutes also with girls like Mel, EvaN or Jana - would make a dream come true!!!!
A classic!

Oh how I enjoy watching these two match up. Reminds me of the chemistry we had between Eva and Sarah some years ago. And in this match...despite the competitiveness, these girls were in love.
Like watching two graceful warriors study and execute, this match is a lesson in counters. So often as they go back and forth are we treated to an expression of exstacy from the girl being put on the defensive.
The action is super hot and the heat is scorching from beginning to end. You might think after watching that these two had planned from the beginning to simply enjoy each other fully while using their natural competitiveness in the process. Great stuff! Would have almost like have seen this particular match without oil..less grappling and more to the point these two clearly wanted to make with each other...and that would be the intense pleasure they had to offer :)
Deserving of a place in any collection.
Gorgeous couple

Reviewer: rips

All the reviewers point out (rightly) the outstanding quality of this video: indeed, the couple Nina-Lucille is one of the best combinations within the TG crew.
The result is an intense, sensual, eroticizing sexfight, between two real stars of tribbing.
Nina and Lucille are completely dishinibited, entirely conscious of their charming talents and seem mutually attracted.
It might be added that this match can count on some spicy
ingredients: a tantalizing oiling practice, a sort of story-line, an intriguing dialogue, a (not too) hidden rivalry with a third trib queen, Pamela.
Briefly, we have here one of the best productions of TG: it's worth.

If you are waiting for the roll out of the National Broadband Network to improve your internet speed, you may now have to wait a little longer.
There are reports today that the NBN Roll out has slowed up with hundreds of thousands of premises taken from the list of homes to be connected to fibre optic cable.
Tamara Badenoch, the policy and project officer with Agforce in Queensland is disappointed with the news.
Ms Badenoch says any delay in the roll out of high speed internet "will impact the landholders ability to be successful".

Redwood Shores, CA, United States, 2012/10/15 - New supply chain and financial management capabilities help amonix manage complex challenges of global solar panel business (NASDAQ: ORCL) - Oracle.com. NYSE, NASDAQ: ORCL
Amonix, a recognized leader in designing and manufacturing concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) solar power systems, has implemented the Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1 as the foundation of its expanding multinational business.
Operating in the growing and highly competitive market for renewable energy solutions, Amonix needed to streamline its supply chain and financial processes so that it could adapt quickly to market pressures and respond to customers with varying needs and expectations.
By replacing its Epicor ERP system with the Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1, Amonix is able to leverage a flexible, scalable and cost-effective platform designed to eliminate inefficient system customizations, increase visibility into its supply chain and improve the accuracy of financial reporting.
With Oracle E-Business Suite Supply Chain Management modules, including Oracle Order Management and Oracle Inventory Management, Amonix is able to automate fulfillment processes and gain real-time visibility into inventory transactions that involve thousands of complex components.
As a CPV solar power system manufacturer, Amonix has an extremely complex supply chain and operates using complex processes. With the Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1, the company is able to perform quick and clean inventory reconciliation.
In addition, by utilizing Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning and Oracle Procurement, Amonix can reduce supply chain costs and rapidly respond to fluctuating prices in the solar market by leveraging advanced monitoring capabilities to increase transparency across its organization.
To further optimize financial operations and standardize internal controls, Amonix is using Oracle E-Business Suite Financials, including Oracle General Ledger, Oracle Payables, Oracle Receivables, Cash Management and Oracle Financial Analytics, to improve financial reporting accuracy and ensure compliance with international regulations.
Amonix implemented 18 modules of the Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1 in just ten weeks. Working with Wipro, a Diamond level member in Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN), the Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1 was implemented out of the box with zero customizations, which helped expedite the deployment and enabled Amonix to quickly begin receiving benefits from the new ERP system.
Supporting Quotes
In order for us to stay competitive in a high growth and complex sector like solar energy, we needed a holistic end-to-end enterprise application suite that could scale with our global business, said Pat McCullough, chief financial officer, Amonix. After carefully evaluating different options, we selected Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1 as it provided all the capabilities we needed right out-of-the-box. We were very impressed with the implementation and are confident we now have the financial and supply chain capabilities needed to support both our current operations and future growth.
In addition to providing us with a quick and reliable tool for inventory reconciliation, the Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1 has helped us track quantity and stock across various locations and eliminate what used to be a huge bottle neck in our inventory management, said Rajesh Ramakrishnan, global business process manager, Amonix.
Amonix was looking to expand its global position into new market segments in a virtually seamless manner, while providing the company with a single view of their core ERP systems. Wipros implementation of the Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1 not only helped Amonix prepare for future enterprise wide scalability, but also helped align its operations to industry standards, said Biplab Adhya, Vice President and Global Head of Oracle Services, Wipro Technologies.

The one day sales event, limited to select Asian markets, celebrates the upcoming Lunar New Year.

Just like last year, it is expected that select Macs, iPads, iPods and a number of accessories will receive modest price cuts.
Red Friday is actually quite similar to the Black Friday shopping event, Apple took part in those festivities as well, offering gift cards in the U.S. and direct discounts on selected products in European countries.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) - GoPro, the maker of durable digital camera that can be used to capture adventure sports, is seeking a valuation of about $3 billion in its initial public offering on the Nasdaq.
Also See: GoPro Files for IPO As Sales Top $1 Billion
The fast-growing action sports camera company said in an amended S-1 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday it would look to sell over 17.8 million shares for between $21-and-$24 a share apiece, raising over $427 million at the high-end of its IPO price range.
WATCH: More market update videos on TheStreet TV ' More videos from Ruben Ramirez
One-half of the proceeds from the offering will be used to cash out some existing GoPro investors, while GoPro is expected to receive $183.1 million in net proceeds at the midpoint of its IPO price range. Those funds will be used to repay GoPro's $120 million term loan and for general corporate purposes, the company said in the S-1.
Currently, the vast majority of GoPro's revenues come from the sale of its HERO3 and HERO3+ cameras, in addition to accessories like Wi-Fi remotes, batteries, and camera mounts. In 2013, GoPro reported $985 million in sales, a near doubling from 2012 levels. Net income at GoPro also nearly doubled to $60.5 million.
However, revenue growth slowed in 2013, and the company's prospectus shows that revenue actually fell about 7% in the first quarter of 2014 to $235.7 million. Revenue did grow during the fourth quarter, buoyed by holiday sales.

Written by Arundhati Menon
In the early 15th century, women were not allowed by law to act. Smooth faced men or young boys played the female roles. Evidently, that did change. Women started acting and in rather prominent roles and people began to think that the misogynistic industry was becoming pro-women. What they didn't realize is that it just got worse.
Apart from a handful of movies, the rest are pretty much the same- the compelling, all-powerful male lead and the female who always needs protection. It gets much worse down south where most movies have the heroines in cameos, where their roles are about ten minutes long in three-hour movies. Even in romantic comedies- the heroines are finally blamed for all the issues in the relationships and are made to grovel and beg for forgiveness to the triumphant, proud heroes. After all- most directors down south -and for that matter all over India- are male. Why would they bother about gender equality? Instead they give their free advice about women through their films, calling women 'domineering', 'unpredictable' and 'helpless'. This chauvinistic attitude shows very clearly in the usage of dialogues such as- 'women should keep silence', 'women should be modest', 'women should keep their head held low' and other such nonsensical expressions. In action flicks the heroes are immortalized and given super-human powers while the heroines will be standing quietly in the side lines or playing the role of the annoying saboteur.
It is a dismal fact that the Indian film industry- the most popular, powerful, not to mention one of the richest industries- suffers from a male superiority complex. The terms 'arm-candy' and 'eye-candy' are not only derogatory and insulting, but disappointingly the only way to describe the parts heroines play in majority of the Indian movies.
There are a handful of movies that are women-oriented and portray females in respectable roles, however, how many of those are really there?
The Indian film industry is a jingoistic film industry. It is an industry where young women who are barely 20 are paired with males who are much more than thrice their ages. It is an industry where actors can act till whatever age they please, but actresses have shelf lives. An expiry date. It is an industry where actors can continue acting long after marriage, but the minute an actress gets married, nobody wants to get her to sign even a single movie. It is an industry where even fifteen-year-old girls are made to perform osculating scenes without even the slightest bit of consideration that they are barely eighteen, and still minors.
The presence of such a mind-set is what is holding back the industry from progressing. Women-centric movies have proven to be explosively popular in the past: for example- Kahaani,English Vinglish, The Dirty Picture, Nagaina etc. in the north and the 100 crore film Arundhati from the south.
I really don't see the use of celebrating 100 years of Indian cinema if this basic issue cannot be addressed.
It is very depressing to see such talented actresses having to perform such menial roles out of no fault of their own. It is horrible, completely unacceptable and hopefully temporary.
