LinkedIn /ˌlɪŋkt.ˈɪn/ is a business networking website for people in professional occupations. Founded in December 2002 and launched on May 5, 2003 by Reid Hoffman, Allen Blue, Konstantin Guericke, Eric Ly and Jean-Luc Vaillant,[3] it is mainly used for professional networking. In 2006, LinkedIn increased to 20 million viewers.[7] As of June 2013[update], LinkedIn reports more than 259 million acquired users in more than 200 countries and territories.[2][8]
The site is available in 20 languages,[2] including English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Romanian, Russian, Turkish, Japanese, Czech, Polish, Korean, Indonesian, Malay, and Tagalog.[9][10] As of 2 July 2013[update], Quantcast reports LinkedIn has 65.6 million monthly unique U.S. visitors and 178.4 million globally,[11] a number that as of 29 October 2013 has increased to 184 million.[12] In June 2011, LinkedIn had 33.9 million unique visitors, up 63 percent from a year earlier and surpassing MySpace.[13] LinkedIn filed for an initial public offering in January 2011 and traded its first shares on May 19, 2011, under the NYSE symbol "LNKD".[14]
LinkedIn's sales revenue has grown by an average of 89% over the past year[when?], and its net profit has grown by an average of 139% annually.[15] The Verge Startups blog listed it as one of the most successful startup companies by market capitalization, revenue, growth, and cultural impact.[15]
LinkedIn's CEO is Jeff Weiner,[2] previously a Yahoo! Inc. executive. The company was founded by Reid Hoffman and founding team members from PayPal and Socialnet.com (Allen Blue, Eric Ly, Jean-Luc Vaillant, Lee Hower, Konstantin Guericke, Stephen Beitzel, David Eves, Ian McNish, Yan Pujante, and Chris Saccheri).
Founder Reid Hoffman, previously CEO of LinkedIn, is now Chairman of the Board.[2][16] LinkedIn is headquartered in Mountain View, California, with offices in Omaha, Chicago, New York, London, and Dublin. It is funded by Sequoia Capital, Greylock, Bain Capital Ventures,[17] Bessemer Venture Partners and the European Founders Fund.[18] LinkedIn reached profitability in March 2006.[19] Through January 2011, the company had received a total of $103 million of investment.[20]
In late 2003, Sequoia Capital led the Series A investment in the company.[21] In June 2008, Sequoia Capital, Greylock Partners, and other venture capital firms purchased a 5% stake in the company for $53 million, giving the company a post-money valuation of approximately $1 billion.[22]
In 2010, LinkedIn opened an International Headquarters in Dublin, Ireland,[23] received a $20 million investment from Tiger Global Management LLC at a valuation of approximately $2 billion,[24] and announced its first acquisition, Mspoke,[25] and improved its 1% premium subscription ratio.[26] In October of that year Silicon Valley Insider ranked the company No. 10 on its Top 100 List of most valuable start ups.[27] By December, the company was valued at $1.575 billion in private markets.[28]
2011: IPO[edit]
LinkedIn filed for an initial public offering in January 2011 and traded its first shares on May 19, 2011, under the NYSE symbol "LNKD", price of IPO was $45 per share. Shares of LinkedIn, which rose as much as 171 percent in their first day of trade on the New York Stock Exchange, closed at $94.25, more than 109 percent above IPO price. "Shortly after" the IPO, the site's underlying infrastructure was revised to allow accelerated revision-release cycles.[2]
In 2011, LinkedIn earned $154.6 million in advertising revenue alone, surpassing Twitter, which earned $139.5 million.[29] LinkedIn's fourth-quarter 2011 earnings soared due to the company's increase in success in the social media world.[30]
In the spring of 2012, LinkedIn expanded its office space by 57,120 square feet in the Financial District of San Francisco.[31] In May 2012, LinkedIn announced its 2012 Q1 revenues were up 101% to $188.5 million compared to $93.9 million in Q1 of 2011, with net income increasing 140% over Q1'2011 to $5 million. Revenue for Q2 was estimated to be between $210 to $215 million.[32]
In June 2012 cryptographic hashes of approximately 6.4 million LinkedIn user passwords were stolen by hackers who then published the stolen hashes online.[33] This action is known as the 2012 LinkedIn hack. In response to the incident, LinkedIn asked its users to change their passwords. Security experts criticized LinkedIn for not salting their password file, and instead using a single iteration of SHA-1.[34]
In November 2012, LinkedIn released their third quarter earnings, reporting earnings-per-share of $0.22 on revenue of $252 million. In result of these numbers, LinkedIn's stock was up, trading at roughly $112 a share.[35]
In July 2012, LinkedIn acquired 15 key Digg patents for $4 million including "click a button to vote up a story" patent.[36]

As of 2013, LinkedIn has more than 259 million members in over 200 countries and territories.[2][8] It is significantly ahead of its competitors Viadeo (50 million)[48] and XING (10 million).[49] The membership grows by approximately two new members every second.[50] With 20 million users, India has the fastest-growing network of users as of 2013.[citation needed]
In January 2014, the countries with the most LinkedIn users were:[8][51]
Country | Users | Penetration |
United States | 93 million | 29.90% |
India | 24 million | 2.02% |
Brazil | 16 million | 7.69% |
United Kingdom | 14 million | 22.41% |
Canada | 9 million | 25.82% |
France | 7 million | 9.91% |
Italy | 6 million | 9.88% |
Spain | 6 million | 11.54% |
Mexico | 6 million | 4.72% |
Australia | 6 million[52] | 23.88% |
One purpose of the site is to allow registered users to maintain a list of contact details of people with whom they have some level of relationship, called Connections. Users can invite anyone (whether a site user or not) to become a connection. However, if the invitee selects "I don't know" or "Spam", this counts against the inviter. If the inviter gets too many of such responses, the account may be restricted or closed.[53]
This list of connections can then be used in a number of ways:
- A contact network is built up consisting of their direct connections, the connections of each of their connections (termed second-degree connections) and also the connections of second-degree connections (termed third-degree connections). This can be used to gain an introduction to someone a person wishes to know through a mutual contact.
- Users can not upload their resume any more. This was a feature but became redundant in late 2012.
- It can then be used to find jobs, people and business opportunities recommended by someone in one's contact network.
- Employers can list jobs and search for potential candidates.
- Job seekers can review the profile of hiring managers and discover which of their existing contacts can introduce them.
- Users can post their own photos and view photos of others to aid in identification.
- Users can now follow different companies and can receive notifications about the new joining and offers available.
- Users can save (i.e. bookmark) jobs that they would like to apply for.
- Users can "like" and "congratulate" each other's updates and new employments.
- Users can see who has visited their profile page.
The "gated-access approach" (where contact with any professional requires either an existing relationship, or the intervention of a contact of theirs) is intended to build trust among the service's users. LinkedIn participates in the EU's International Safe Harbor Privacy Principles.[54]
The feature LinkedIn Answers,[55] similar to Yahoo! Answers, allowed users to ask questions for the community to answer. This feature was free, and the main difference from the latter was that questions are potentially more business-oriented, and the identity of the people asking and answering questions is known. As of January 31, 2013, the LinkedIn Answers feature is no longer supported. LinkedIn cites a new 'focus on development of new and more engaging ways to share and discuss professional topics across LinkedIn' as the reason for the retirement of the feature.
Another LinkedIn feature is LinkedIn Polls. In December 2011, LinkedIn announced that they are rolling out polls to their one million groups.[56]
In mid-2008, LinkedIn launched LinkedIn DirectAds as a form of sponsored advertising.[57]
In October 2008, LinkedIn revealed plans to open its social network of 30 million professionals globally as a potential sample for business-to-business research. It is testing a potential social-network revenue model-research that to some appears more promising than advertising.[58]
On July 23, 2013 LinkedIn announced their Sponsored Updates ad service. Individuals and companies can now pay a fee to have LinkedIn sponsor their content and spread it to their user base. This is a common way for social media sites such as LinkedIn to generate revenue.[59]
In October 2008, LinkedIn enabled an "applications platform" that allows other online services to be embedded within a member's profile page. Among the initial applications were an Amazon Reading List that allows LinkedIn members to display books they are reading, a connection to Tripit, and a Six Apart, WordPress and TypePad application that allows members to display their latest blog postings within their LinkedIn profile.[60]
In November 2010, LinkedIn allowed businesses to list products and services on company profile pages; it also permitted LinkedIn members to "recommend" products and services and write reviews.[61]
A mobile version of the site was launched in February 2008, which gives access to a reduced feature set over a mobile phone. The mobile service is available in six languages: Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese and Spanish.[62]
In January 2011, LinkedIn acquired CardMunch, a mobile app maker that scans business cards and converts into contacts.[63] In June 2013, CardMunch was noted as an available LinkedIn app.[2] In August 2011, LinkedIn revamped its mobile applications on the iPhone, Android and HTML5. Mobile page views of the application have increased roughly 400% year over year according to CEO Jeff Weiner.[64]
In October 2013, LinkedIn announced a service for iPhone users called "Intro", which inserts a thumbnail of a person's LinkedIn profile in correspondence with that person when reading mail messages in the native iOS Mail program.[65] This is accomplished by re-routing all emails from and to the iPhone through LinkedIn servers, which security firm Bishop Fox has serious privacy implications, violates many organizations' security policies, and resembles a man-in-the-middle attack.[66]
LinkedIn also supports the formation of interest groups, and as of March 29, 2012 there are 1,248,019 such groups whose membership varies from 1 to 744,662.[67][68] The majority of the largest groups are employment related,[69] although a very wide range of topics are covered mainly around professional and career issues, and there are currently 128,000 groups for both academic and corporate alumni.
Groups support a limited form of discussion area, moderated by the group owners and managers. Since groups offer the ability to reach a wide audience without so easily falling foul of anti-spam solutions, there is a constant stream of spam postings, and there now exist a range of firms who offer a spamming service for this very purpose. LinkedIn has devised a few mechanisms to reduce the volume of spam, but recently took the decision to remove the ability of group owners to inspect the email address of new members in order to determine if they were spammers. Groups also keep their members informed through emails with updates to the group, including most talked about discussions within your professional circles.[67][70]
Groups may be private, accessible to members only or may be open to Internet users in general to read, though they must join in order to post messages.
Job listings[edit]
LinkedIn allows users to research companies with which they may be interested in working. When typing the name of a given company in the search box, statistics about the company are provided. These may include the ratio of female to male employees, the percentage of the most common titles/positions held within the company, the location of the company's headquarters and offices, or a list of present and former employees.
In July 2011, LinkedIn launched a new feature allowing companies to include an "Apply with LinkedIn" button on job listing pages.[71] The new plugin will allow potential employees to apply for positions using their LinkedIn profiles as resumes. All applications will also be saved under a "Saved Jobs" tab.[71]
LinkedIn allows users to endorse each other's skills.[when?] This feature also allows users to efficiently provide commentary on other users profiles – network building is reinforced. However there is no way of flagging anything other than positive content.
LinkedIn solicits endorsements based on algorithms that generate skills members might have. Members cannot opt out of such solicitations, with the result that it sometimes appears that a member is soliciting an endorsement for a non-existent skill.[72]
The LinkedIn Influencers program launched in October 2012 and brings together 300+ of the world's top thought leaders to share their professional insights with LinkedIn's 259 million members. Influencer is an invite-only program that features notable leaders from a vast range of industries including Richard Branson, Arianna Huffington, Rahm Emanuel, Jamie Dimon, Deepak Chopra, Jack Welch, and Bill Gates.[73][74]
Business units[edit]
LinkedIn derives its revenues from three business divisions:
Talent Solutions: Recruiters and corporations pay for:
- Branded corporate page on LinkedIn, complete with careers section.
- Pay per click-through Job ads that are targeted to LinkedIn users who match the job profile.
- Access to the database of LinkedIn users and resumes.
Marketing Solutions:
- LinkedIn advertisers pay for pay per click-through targeted ads.
Premium Subscriptions: LinkedIn users pay for:
- LinkedIn Business for business users
- LinkedIn Talent for recruiters
- LinkedIn JobSeeker for unemployed LinkedIn users looking for a job
- LinkedIn Sales for Sales Professionals.
Some elements of the various subscription services are also on a pay per use basis like InMail.
LinkedIn has been described by online trade publication TechRepublic as having "become the de facto tool for professional networking".[75] LinkedIn has also been praised for its usefulness in fostering business relationships.[76] "LinkedIn is, far and away, the most advantageous social networking tool available to job seekers and business professionals today," according to Forbes.[77]
International restrictions[edit]
In 2009, Syrian users reported that LinkedIn server stopped accepting connections originating from IP addresses assigned to Syria. The company's customer support stated that services provided by them are subject to US export and re-export control laws and regulations and "As such, and as a matter of corporate policy, we do not allow member accounts or access to our site from Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, or Syria."[78]
In February 2011, it was reported that LinkedIn was being blocked in China after calls for a "Jasmine Revolution". It was speculated to have been blocked because it is an easy way for dissidents to access Twitter, which had been blocked previously.[79] After a day of being blocked, LinkedIn access was restored in China.[80]
SNA LinkedIn[edit]
The Search, Network, and Analytics team at LinkedIn has a web site[81] that hosts the open source projects built by the group. Notable among these projects is Project Voldemort,[82] a distributed key-value structured storage system with low-latency similar in purpose to Amazon.com's Dynamo and Google's BigTable.
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission enforcement action[edit]
- In January 2012, the SEC charged an Illinois-based investment adviser with offering to sell fictitious securities on LinkedIn and issued two alerts in an agency-wide effort to highlight the risks investors and advisory firms face when using social media.[83] Anthony Fields offered more than $500 billion in fictitious securities through various social media websites. For example, he used LinkedIn discussions to promote fictitious "bank guarantees" and "medium-term notes".
Surveillance and NSA Program[edit]
In the 2013 global surveillance disclosures, documents released by Edward Snowden revealed that that British GCHQ infiltrated the Belgacom network by luring employees to a false Linkedin page.[84]

Nike Air Diamond Turf Retro – OG Colorway | Available on eBay
July 13th, 2010 by John Kim | 4 comments
Deion Sanders was one of the small group of elite non-basketball athletes in the 90′s that had a successful sneaker lineage, and the Air Diamond Turf with its aggressive design and decade-defining in-step strap was an instant hit. The Diamond Turf returned for 2010 with some changes, like the disappearance of the 24/21 logo on the tongue as well as the goal-post logo on the heeltab. We're still awaiting the return of the OG Black/Purple colorway but what would really have fans of the shoe excited would be the return of the Black/White/Green original colorway. A little nostalgia never hurt, so grab these now from shaolin8 on eBay.

Posted: 12:00 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 3, 2013
By Randy Tucker
Smokers hoping to breathe a little easier under new health care reform laws that prohibit insurers from discriminating based on health conditions might get choked up when they discover the tobacco penalties included in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
The law, which prevents health insurers from rejecting people with pre-existing conditions, still allows insurers to charge higher premiums based on risk factors such as age, location and family composition and tobacco use.
Tobacco use carries the heaviest penalties, allowing insurers to charge premium rates as much as 50 percent higher for smokers than non-smokers under the law.
"Why smoking?" asked Nathaniel Kesting of Bellbrook, a 33-year-old student at Sinclair Community College. "If you smoke, somebody's always trying to tax you. I don't know much about the health care law, but I thought it was suppose to be affordable. Isn't that the name of it? Why do they want to tax smokers and nobody else? I think there's a little bit of discrimination there."
Beginning next year, someone such as Kesting, who is single, unemployed and uninsured, will be required under the health care act to buy an individual health insurance policy independently or through the new state-based health care exchanges expected to go online Jan. 1.
With income of about $15,600 a year in unemployment benefits, Kesting's premium would be about $3,800, but government subsidies provided for low-income individuals in the health care law would cover almost 90 percent of that premium, based on calculations using the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation's online Health Reform Subsidy Calculator.
The maximum smoking penalty, however, would tack on another $1,916 to his premium — or more than 10 percent of his total income. At the high end of the spectrum, penalties could total more than $5,000 a year for smokers 60 or older, according to Kaiser, which has a website devoted to health care reform.
Impact on low-income smokers
And since most smokers tend to be low-income residents, the surcharge could price many smokers out of the market and encourage them to pay the less-than-$100 penalty for not signing up for health insurance in the first year under the law, rather than paying thousands of dollars in premiums they cannot afford.
"The smoking surcharge can be a lot of money for some people, and that has prompted a debate in some states about whether they will allow the smoking surcharge for the very reason that they expect it to keep a lot of people from getting covered," said Karen Pollitz, a health policy analyst at Kaiser.
Most people with employee sponsored coverage won't face such a dilemma because individual market operates differently than the large group market in which employers pay most of the premium to provide coverage for their workers, said Mike Suttman, president of Dayton-based employee benefits brokerage McGohan Brabender Inc.
In general, tobacco use isn't used to determine rates in most large-group plans, although employers can impose their own penalties as a matter of policy, Suttman said.
Walmart, for example, said last year it would charge tobacco users higher premiums but also offer free smoking cessation programs, which would allow employees who smoke to avoid the penalty.
Still, employer surcharges for smoking are rarely enforced, Suttman said.
"There are provisions that allow the employer to charge a smoker surcharge," he said. "But employers are kind of hesitant to do that in that it might affect a key employee that they don't want to loose."
The individual market raises no such considerations, and, in fact, is likely to encourage insurance carriers to charge the maximum penalty allowed so their plans don't become magnets for smokers, whose high health care costs can drive up rates for everyone.
Last year, tobacco use resulted in $96 billion in direct health care expenditures and $97 billion in lost productivity, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"If all the carriers but one charge the full 50 percent surcharge for smoking, and one only charges 20 percent, all the smokers will run to that carrier," Suttman said. "It would be difficult not to charge the full premium, otherwise you would be a destination for smokers. Ultimately, it's a business decision for the carrier."
Faced with such high costs for coverage, some smokers seeking health insurance under the new health care law might simply deny their tobacco use.
But Kaiser's Pollitz warned: "It's always scary to lie to an insurance company."
Smoking up in Ohio
While it would be difficult for insurers to determine whether new enrollees lied about their tobacco use on an application for coverage, once they're admitted to a hospital or emergency department with a smoking-related illness, insurers could simply deny coverage and even prosecute them for fraud, Pollitz said.
"My guess would be that insurers in the health exchanges are going to be on the look out for that kind of fraud, and those cases will probably be investigated," she said.
Bruce Barcelo, who manages smoking cessation programs for Public Health – Dayton & Montgomery County, said the financial burden of the tobacco penalty may ultimately have a silver lining.
"I think the trend will be very much what we've seen whenever federal or state taxes go up on tobacco products; there's always a decline in usage," said Barcelo, who pointed out several national surveys that show the majority of tobacco users say they want to quit.
"The question is what's going to motivate them and help them quit," he said. "For some, the financial incentive is an important factor."
Still, despite widespread cessation campaigns and the high cost of tobacco products, statistics suggest that tobacco use hasn't waned.
About 23 percent of adult Ohioans smoked in 2010, up from about 20 percent in 2009, according to the CDC, which found that was the largest jump in the state's smoking rate since 1996, when it rose to 28.4 percent from 26.1 percent.
The smoking rate for adult Ohioans last year was 25.1 percent, but the numbers were not comparable to the previous year because of new data collection methods that may have included people who were missed in previous surveys, said Tessie Pollack, a spokeswoman for the Ohio Department of Health.
"This new survey was the first time cell phone numbers were included, so it gave us a much more complete look at Ohioans," she said.

typical bobcats game. played hard and got a big lead only to squander it in an ugly way then try play catch up when there's no one to catch -_- mkg played well though.
Steph said before the game that Davis told her MKG couldn't score on him...and she said she was going to relay that to MKG.
So much for that idea.
NOLA adjusted to our D 2nd half and we didn't change because of it. Sucks, because I think the players deserved this win.
Hope Resurrected: "I think I can bring an attitude to a team as far as, All right, no matter what, we are not losing this game'." - Kemba Walker
"Its okay to be bad; just so long as you're bad ass." - Keetch
"I don't care if he uses a sophisticated pulley and tackle system to get his shot off if the bitch goes in."-Mustachio
MKG was unstoppable in the first half, and he was mostly one-on-one with Davis, outscoring him head to head 18 to 6 before getting kicked in the eye.
I still struggle to find the logic with Gordon (he's either Good Ben or Really Bad Ben and remains that way for the game...the flow of the offense seems to be much better when Kemba and Sessions are running things).
As far as the game, there is no excuse to giving up as big of a lead as we had...we have to have that killer instinct.
We gave up 2 FTs to technical fouls (though I don't blame Dunlap for his T, the Hornet hopped 3 times on 1 foot the prior time down the court, a clear travelling violation right in front of Dunlap and the ref, and then drained a 3..no call) The other technical, a defensive 3 seconds, was on Biz and he was shaking his head immediately, like "my bad", I think he had been in the lane for 5 seconds...and we end up losing by 3.
Not to mention the not-so-top play when we had two players knock each other over as we passed the ball into the backcourt (thankfully the hornets didn't score on that play, but it was still an empty offensive possession).
MKG dominating Davis takes the sting out slightly...but it's past time to get a win.

Improve your LC/MS productivity while ensuring best accuracy and reliability.
The GERSTEL MultiPurpose Sampler MPS is a highly productive LC autosampler and sample preparation robot for up to 3456 samples. In combination with the GERSTEL MAESTRO Software, the MPS provides more performance and higher productivity in sample preparation than any other commercially available LC/MS or LC autosampler. The MPS is compatible with all standard LC Systems.
Modular design, easy to upgrade
The MPS autosampler for LC and is easily adapted to new tasks and processes in the laboratory. Exchangeable syringe modules enable fast change of methods even between different analytical techniques, such as liquid sample handling and sample introduction.
A number of sample preparation techniques for LC are available:
- Solid Phase Extraction (SPE)
- Disposable Pipette Extraction (DPX)
- Liquid Handling
- Standard addition
- Derivatization
- Dilution
- Extraction
- Heating, cooling and/or mixing
- Centrifugation and weighing
- Membrane Assisted Solvent Extraction (MASE)
- Twister Back Extraction (TBE)
Heated or cooled sample trays
MPS sample trays and sample stacks for Deepwell or Microtiter plates can be optionally heated or cooled in order to stabilize or condition samples. Trays and stacks are available with Peltier cooling or cryostatic cooling covering a temperature range from 4 to 70 °C. In order to control sample preparation reactions, for example, when a derivatization step is used, the MPS agitator/orbital shaker is also available with Peltier Cooling. The agitator can be operated at temperatures between 10 and 200 °C.
Minimize carry over - maximize productivity
- Two solvent wash stations: Minimal carry over
- Sampling needle rinsed on both the inside and outside to minimize carry-over
- Active wash station rinses injection valve and syringe simultaneously, reducing both carry-over and cycle time
- The innovative Dynamic Load and Wash (DLW) technology helps eliminate carryover while providing fast wash cycles
- Capable of sampling from any format:
3456 samples in 36 Microwell plates
1728 samples in 18 Deepwell plates
972 x 2 mL Vials
600 x 1 mL Vials
96 x 10/20 mL Vials
Autosampler and fraction collector
In addition to its capabilities in sample preparation and sample introduction the MPS can be used as a fraction collector. Further LC or GC analysis of collected fractions can easily be performed in a fully automated manner. If different syringes are required for fraction collection and sample introduction, the MPS can be upgraded to the dual rail version, capable of performing all steps automatically without changing syringes.
Compact version of the MPS – the bench-space saver
Stretching only 53 cm across, the compact version of the MPS provides best possible use of valuable laboratory bench space. The MPS is a fully featured LC autosampler for sample preparation and sample introduction – with a capacity of up to 648 x 2 ml vials!

text: Earlier this month, a pre-trial chamber of the ICC granted a request by the Libyan government to postpone an order to transfer [JURIST report] Saif al-Islam to ICC custody. The issue of which court is going to try Saif al-Islam has been in dispute since he was captured [JURIST report] by Libyan rebel forces in November. In April ICC chief prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo [official profile] stated that the maximum penalty for Saif al-Islam in the ICC would be life in prison, but if convicted in a national court he could face the death penalty [JURIST report]. Earlier that month Ocampo asked the ICC to report Libya to the UN Security Council for failing to turn over Saif al-Islam. Libya expressly denied [JURIST report] the ICC's request for such action and stated that Saif al-Islam will face trial within the country. In February 2011, the UN Security Council voted unanimously to refer the matter in Libya to the ICC prosecutor [JURIST report]. The ICC claimed jurisdiction over Saif al-Islam despite its announcement in November that it may allow Libya to conduct the trial [JURIST report].

A- Dark rich copper in color. Slightly hazy. Creamy two finger off white head leaves moderate lacing.
S- Sour bready malt and yeast. Bitter dank hops behind that.
T- Huge malt and hop flavors melt together with a bitter and sour feel. There's alot going on and plenty of flavor to go around. The aftertaste is a muted version of the beginning. Slightly warming in the end.
M- Med to heavy bodied. Malty but this fades strangely to a more smooth feel towards the end.
O- Plenty of flavor, wonderful look and a decent feel. I don't feel I'm up to rate this brew fairly because its not in my wheelhouse. I'm not a fan of this style, although I can see how some may like it. Too much sour, malty mess. However it does improve with temperature. This one may need to be served a little warmer. Lagunitas consistently puts out brews that inspire me. Unfortunately this one is not one of my favorites. Such is life.
Edit- with no apparent date on the bottle and after reading other reviews, I think this must be a older beer. A complete break down on the hop flavor I experienced leads me to feel this way. I think I need to give this one another go to be sure.

Acer neoTouch P400 review
Well built and classy looking, the neoTouch P400 is a Windows Mobile smart phone which gets basics such as battery life and connectivity right, but doesn't do enough to justify Acer's price tag.

Acer beTouch E110 review
The beTouch E110 is a budget smart phone that runs Android 1.5. You have to accept compromises in a phone that's this cheap, so it's no surprise that it packs a resistive touchscreen and lacks Wi-Fi. But, for basic tasks and for keeping connected with your friends, it'll probably do the trick Read more

The Thunder Over Utah Air Show celebrates its inaugural weekend by scorching the sky with supersonic maneuvers and stockpiling funds for local community organizations. Throughout the two-day event, St. George's towering red mountains carve out a breathtaking backdrop as aircraft launch into lower orbit to boom over the heads of spectators and melt clouds into manageable marshmallows. From general-admission seats, awestruck attendees can trace the Hornet planes of the world-renowned Blue Angels, study the sturdy WWII assembly of a P-51 Mustang, and marvel at the multi-mission MV-22 Osprey, whose vertical flight mimics that of a helicopter or magician stuck on levitate.
One of Utah's first off-course golf retailers, Uinta Golf has been equipping putt enthusiasts with specialized apparel for more than 40 years. Tops from Nike (starting at $39.98) cloak swinging torsos, and TaylorMade hats (starting at $19.99) let players don their favorite brands or combat distracting perspiration with a moisture-wicking sweatband. As the Nike Women's Dri-Fit visor ($18) eliminates sweat and adjusts to cranium circumferences with a velcro fastener, Nike Tech skorts ($60) sheath lower halves with shorts' length and a skirt's aesthetic.
The 2012 PGA Utah Golf Pass offers golfers discounted tee times and deals at more than 70 courses throughout the state. By paying the cart fee, pass-wielders enjoy free rounds at seven of the state's premier golf venues, including the red rock-framed fairways of Sand Hollow and the mountainside greens of Birch Creek Golf Course. At dozens of other courses, players enjoy VIP bargains such as percentages off tee times, buy-one, get-one-free deals on greens fees, special discounts for junior golfers, and free admission for infant sand wedges.
Pass holders also receive discounts on range balls, regripping services, and golf merchandise at certain locations. Check the website for a comprehensive list of discounts, all of which remain valid until the end of 2012 or the golf-cart union goes on strike.
Rising above the Markagunt Plateau like the ramming prow of an ancient oared ship, Brian Head Peak commands the surrounding landscape as the highest point in Iron County. Originally dubbed Monument Peak because of its looming height, unique shape, and the 19th century's superstitions against building actual monuments, the peak now presides over a namesake resort, a 660-acre spread with the highest base elevation in Utah and all the great snow that comes with it. But although the winter snow is cold and dry—its average moisture content is just 4%—the resort isn't just a one-season playground. And its climatic adaptability means that even though Brian Head Resort is located on a national scenic byway within hours of five national parks, its eight lifts remain the most enticing way to explore the outdoors.
In addition to 71 ski trails, the resort's slopes—divided between Brian Head Peak and the slightly smaller Navajo Peak—offer features such as the bag jump, which allows guests to try out jumps, tricks, and homemade parachutes safely before touching down on a giant inflatable pillow. Regular night skiing opens up lower slopes for evening runs while those tired of shredding can hit up the tubing lanes for carefree descents. Rentals outfit casual downhillers with all the equipment they need, complementing private and group lessons for all ages on Navajo Peak. The resort's experienced professionals also cultivate the next generation of skiers by combining lessons with daycare for wee ones aged 3 and older.
As the seasons change, the melting snow exposes Brian Head Resort's summer identity as a bustling hub for hikers, mountain bikers, and disc golfers. Views of towering red rocks abound as guests ascend the resort's chairlift, from which they can shred down to the base by bike or enjoy the scenery during a more leisurely hike. For bikers, trails shaped by natural terrain share the mountain with terrain parks, where they can perform grinds, stalls, and airborne acrobatics. An 18-hole disc golf course descends from the summit to the base, covering a total of roughly six miles, the length of a squirrel marathon.
Voted the best public course in Utah by Golfweek, Sand Hollow Resort and its two courses are sequestered amid the scenic mountain vistas of southern Utah. The championship course's 7,300-yard, par 72 gauntlet offers challenging rounds to golfers of all skill levels, with difficult but attainable birdies at each hole. Red rock outcroppings border the links of the first nine, and the southwestern beauty of the 15th hole graced the cover of Golfweek's best-courses issue.

Contents |
Jehan, Seigneur de la Tour du Lac, is typical of many Huguenot captains demobilized by the end of the French religious wars in the 1590s. He has bought some property and settled down in a little chateau in the Dordogne Valley near St. Foye. He keeps his Maison Rustique next to La Bible and is busy molding himself into the role of a country squire after years on campaign. He is not really the same guy that kept a tavern in Calais for so many years.
Jehan has also been exploring his ancestry and can be seen looking suspiciously Frankish at some events. This person is an 8th century Aquitanian, whose real name is probably something like Raedwulf. However, we do have examples of notable Franks with names like "Judith", "Virgil" and "George", and although he was not destined for a church career, it is not impossible to be named Iohannes.

Hi, (not you?) | Member Center | Sign Out
Posted: 8:13 p.m. Tuesday, June 28, 2011
By Jamie Dupree
President Obama will hold a news conference on Wednesday morning at 11:30am EDT, giving reporters the chance to ask about talks on the budget and debt limit, the NATO mission against Libya, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and more.
This is the first solo news conference for Mr. Obama since March, when he met reporters in the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
The news conference will give the President the chance to make his case about the political fight over the budget and debt limit, as the White House this week all but demanded that Republicans accept some tax increases in any deal.
"So I've put forward a plan that says, yes, we can cut every program that's not working and every little bit of waste that we can find across the board, whether it's in the Defense Department or it's in social service programs that don't work," Mr. Obama said last week.
"We can't waste money, because times are tight."
Republicans though argue now is not the time to raise taxes either, and that this would be the perfect opportunity to cut a big chunk out of the government, something that many Democrats have resisted.
This news conference comes with just under five weeks until an August 2 deadline for action on a plan to raise the nation's debt limit.
After meeting with reporters, the President will sit down with Senate Democrats to talk about the budget - but with no Republicans being called in for any negotiations - that meeting would seem to be more internal public relations move than anything else.
Mr. Obama will be out of town part of Thursday, as he goes to Philadelphia to raise money, making me think that today's news conference could well mark the unofficial start to a long July 4th weekend in Washington, D.C.
Check back after the news conference for more coverage.
