Feeding & Nutrition - 9-12 Months
Chew On This
For months, your baby has been getting used to the smooth purees that make up his entire menu of solid foods. Is he ready to give chewing a try?
Teaching your baby about new textures is one of the milestones you'll share during his first year. Pretty soon, he may seem ready to progress to more textured foods.
* Start with a divided dish or two little bowls.
* In one side, put your baby's favorite variety of 2nd stage purees and in the other side put the same variety of 3rd stage purees.
* Give him a spoonful of smooth, then thicker. Keep going back and forth. It may take a week or so, but eventually your baby will grow to accept new textures.
* Once baby has mastered this food, try combo feeding with other foods. Babies this age also love reaching for little pieces of food they can pick up between their first fingers and thumbs. Try putting a row of six or seven tiny pieces of soft banana, peach or pear on your baby's tray while you're feeding him a thick puree with a spoon. Watch as he tries to rake the food into his fist, then put his fist to his mouth. This will help him get used to the idea of feeding himself.
Goodbye Bottle!
Your baby's bottles do so much more than provide nutrition. They comfort your baby and help maintain a routine. But eventually, your baby will get all his beverages from a cup, so it's a good idea to start weaning early. (The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends teaching your baby to drink from a cup before 12 months.)
When you first start out, you need to find the right cup. Cups with two handles are easy to hold, and cups with spill-proof lids keep messes to a minimum. Fill the cup with breast milk, formula or a little water mixed with 100% juice. Then just set it on the highchair during mealtimes. Keep your expectations low. As your baby learns to open his fingers at will, he'll delight in dropping and throwing things like cups. so you may spend more time holding the cup than he does at first.
Keep an eye on how much your baby is getting out of the cup. If he only drinks a little, you should keep giving him bottles. But once you see that he's coming close to finishing the drink, you may want to replace his morning bottle with a sippy cup of breast milk or formula. Every baby is different. Some babies are weaned at 12 months, others at 3 years. All that matters is that you do what's right for your baby and your family.
Mealtime Advice: Strive for 5
Nutrition experts recommend five or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day-- a healthy habit you can begin to teach your baby now. But how much is one serving? For younger babies, it's a small taste of single-ingredient pureed fruits and veggies--it could be as little as a tablespoon or less. For older babies, it's 1/4 of a cup or 1/2 of a container (3 1/2 - 6 oz.) of pureed baby food fruits and veggies. A general rule for older babies is that 2 1/2 containers of baby food per day (1 1/4 cups) meet that five-a-day recommendation.
Reach That Five-A-Day Goal
1 The order in which you introduce fruits and vegetables doesn't matter.
You may want to try some of the traditional favorites first (like applesauce, bananas, and carrots).
2 Offer new flavors along with familiar favorites. It may take several tries before your baby learns to like some fruits and vegetables.
3 Respect your child's personal preferences. No one fruit or vegetable is going to make or break your child's diet.
4 Convenience is key. Prepared baby food is easy, safe, portable, nutritious and comes in appropriate portion sizes.
5 Let the colors of the rainbow be your guide each day. The more variety, the better!
Watch for Food Allergies
Babies with a family history of food allergies should be breastfed as long as possible and foods like milk, egg whites, wheat, and soy should not be introduced until well after the babies first birthday. Some foods are associated with allergies that can be life-threatening to some people, like peanuts, tree nuts, fish and shellfish. So you should check with your pediatrician before introducing them, especially if there's a family history of food allergies.

OK, let me ask you this: What's in it for Google and its advertisers? Giving publishers the ability to reject site-targeted ads is one thing. Giving them the ability to micromanage contextual ads is something else entirely, since--among other things--it would tend to reward publishers who are more interested in gaming the system than in using AdSense as a way to monetize content.

Add a CommentBeautifully written - nice to see Jesus portrayed as a mortal son, to the woman who bore him. Interesting to see the life of Jesus from Mary's perspective - and how his teaching started to revolutionize the times (from a review I read of another book about Jesus' life, apparently He wasn't the only teacher who was galvanizing people to action, just the most successful - it seems those were anarchic times). I found the ending somewhat mystifying.
emotional swirl of love and danger. not for the faint of heart nor the rigidly religious. captivating.
Absorbing and beautifully written novella. Mary's story, by Mr. Toibin, is deep and very moving. I was completely immersed in it and felt her pain as she described her son's crucifixion. This is a masterpiece.
Beautiful and sensitive story which portrays Mary as a complex woman, with worries about her son and his legacy. Don't know what believers will think of this...but I thought it was thought-provoking and moving. It's a small book (barely 100 pages) but Toibin (who is always an amazing writer) reels you in very quickly and firmly into the story.

General Question
Water evaporting during cycling; what should I do (if anything)
Asked by Mama_Cakes (9284
September 14th, 2013
I'm on day 11 of cycling my tank. When I began the process, I added live nitrifying bacteria and fed it Ammonium Chloride to get the ball rolling. This method being a speedy way to cycle ones aquarium. Everything is going well. Ammonia is dropping, and nitrites are dropping, as well. The only issue that I have is that the water is evaporating. It has gone down an inch in my 30 gallon tank.
Is this problem?

Synth Alpha v.15
Online webtoy distorts webcam feed with Rutt Etra style effect amplified with additional MP3 input - video embedded below:
Synth is a modern day Rutt Etra. After getting to use a Wobbulator at the Experimental Television Center, I became fascinated with the ethos behind Nam June Paik's work. I wanted to make something that was accessible for everyone, like how Paik's performances were accessible to anyone watching PBS. I don't see any sense in trying to reproduce the original aesthetic of the analog synthesizer in an Internet Browser. Synth is referential of the Analog synthesizers, but technically it it much different. Synth distorts 3D geometries with a live video feed and then amplifies that distortion with audio. The current release is an alpha build of the project and over the next year Synth will gain more features as I continue to develop it. Anyone with Google Chrome and a webcam on a desktop computer can use this synthesizer. Synth is free and licensed under GNU.

BRICK, NEW JERSEY -- My girlfriend won two- one month free memberships at workout world. We went to the store in Brick nj, to use it. As soon as we got in the door we were bombarded with sales pitches by a guy names Nick about my age 25 or so. I have belonged there previously in 1999 and at that time I felt I was robbed because of the 3 month cancellation policy that was not made known to me at that time. Finally I cancelled them. This time when my girlfriend persuaded me to please go with her for the free month i gave in. God what a mistake. They talked about all these deals. 3 yr contract which both of us strictly said we werent interested we really only wanted our free month. THey said that is fine are you students? we said yes. He said oh well we can sign you up as students your fee will be 49 a month instead of 59, and you can cancel with 3 months notice or freeze your account anytime for 5 dollars. We wernt sure about it, i told him how i felt ripped off last time so he got his manager who explained it all to us again.. They both told us point blank to our faces we were being signed up as students go get ur IDs and they then photocopied them. They said if at the end of the month you dont want to join then come tell us and u can quit. Well guess what. . . he told us that the contract we temporarily signed was for student membership, he crossed out the 59 payment to 49. He told us at the end of the meeting that the only reason we ever have to come in to talk to him again is to quit. Otherwise we are members. Guess what. i LIked goin there and never went back like he said cuz we would be signed on automatically for students. .. now we are stuck in 3 yr contract the one we said we never wanted from the start and now he lies when we confront him and now he is the manager. I guess work out world is so pathetic that they have to trick and cheat honest people out of their money. I have a powerhouse gym now 5 seconds across from my house in nj and i cant go cuz im stuck with WOW. We told both managers we would never ever ever go for the 3 yr one. THey screwed us. . . i mean yeah i admit we should have read the contracts more closely but you know what. . . why do we have to be super smart or have a lawyer present for gym membership to make sure we arent gettin screwed i mean and what if i was dumb and had no common sense is there no law to protect the innocent from scumbags. . . .and its not like when u get beat on an item purchase, or stolen wallet, those you can just forget about and move on. . . a 3yr screw over is soemthing you have to think about for 3 yrs before you can begin to forget, why would they want upset people that dont like them to have no choice but to work out there. . . you know. Lucky im over 18 that guy is.

Your first mistake was to sign anything-as a student you should know better. In any court room a contract is binding regardless of how "forced" you felt. You and your girlfriend should realize that nothing is "free".She "won" a membership because the company offered it to get more people to try the gym and join up-you were the sucker and actually signed the contract.I would get in contact with their corporate company and see if there is any loop holes that will allow you out of what you signed. If not, then not only will you not be going to the gym because you cant stand the people that work there but youll owe them money!!

Here's a case were writing a letter to your Attorney General and/or BBB may help. If that doesn't work, don't go and don't pay them. You nay take the hit on your credit file, but I doubt they would ever try to enforce the contract in court. Your defense of deceptive trade practices would probably do the case in. Besides, they are out nothing anyway.

Using… LESS
Written by admin July 31st, 2011.C. Elizabeth Smith for Ecofusion
Energy is something that is as precious to us as food and water. However, the average American understands that we don't really have much of a say in our national energy choices; for example, how we create our energy and from what energy sources. The American life of today revolves around the bureaucratic atmosphere surrounding Washington. Some may carry the opinion that there are a few good souls in Washington fighting for various environmental issues such as energy policy and natural resource management; however, these issues continually take a back seat to many other pressing problems like the health of our economy.
What can the average American do to have a say?
For starters, the voter can have a say by simply supporting environmental causes. It is discouraging at times, yet always for the best. Have a clear understanding of an actual environmental problem and attempt to be knowledgeable about what is being done to solve that problem in Washington ,and in the respective states.
Other ways one can understand and contribute to decreasing energy consumption is to look into their own energy portfolio. This can be done by simply using less through efficiency or turning out the lights. Another easy way to invest into energy efficient practices? Simple Internet research can tell anyone how to easily reduce his or her energy consumption and actually save money in doing so.
Continued research and sprouting ideas can put the average American on a path to reduce not just their own energy consumption, but an entire country's energy consumption. In turn, this will help the United States and the world decrease its environmental impact.

I have used grammar journals before, but they were not as effective as your method. (Students were just copying rules, writing examples, and completing exercises.) I think your way of having them utilize the grammar concept in their writing first is brilliant. They don't even realize that they already know something about it; they just have to put a name to it.
Thank you so much for sharing!

online expectations & responsibilities This page considers online consumer expectations, responsibilities and responses such as education. It covers -
introduction The preceding pages of this guide have suggested that
rules of the road, but which road? Two interrelated questions facing online consumers are -
Those questions involve consideration of governance and business practice in a global networked economy. As following paragraphs indicate, engaging in transactions with some sites or using facilities such as webmail or eBay involves acceptance of another jurisdiction's legislation or the waiving (consistent with rules in the user's jurisdiction) of some rights. It may also specify that litigation or mediation must take place in particular fora - typically a court or mediation service that is readily available to the site/service operator. In practice the cost of action in a court located in another hemisphere may preclude enforcement of rights by some individuals and SMEs. consumer consent? A key issue is the question of consumer consent. Some sites invoke consent by requiring acceptance of terms & conditions that are located in an obscure part of the site, can not be readily identified by a casual visitor or are presented in a format that significantly inhibits user understanding. In our Design and Accessibility guides we have for example noted concerns about disclaimers or agreements that are presented in
The impenetrability of much online legal boilerplate has been questioned. However, it might provoke questions about the offline variety - particularly the finely-printed documents that most consumers apparently throw away with the styrofoam packing or their monthly statement from a financial services provider. Some sites, perhaps more cynically, trade on the ignorance, impatience or other characteristics of their visitors. The real price for access to some music sharing sites, for example, is monitoring by spyware that allows an affiliate of the site to track the tastes and travels of the consumer. Few 17-somethings appear to comprehend - or perhaps merely notice - the terms & conditions on those sites and thus be aware that they tacitly consented to give up their privacy when they joined the crusade against the evil RIAA. One AOL notice (in apparent conflict with other AOL terms of service notices) advises that
In addition, by posting Content on an AIM Product, you grant AOL, its parent, affiliates, subsidiaries, assigns, agents and licensees the irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide right to reproduce, display, perform, distribute, adapt and promote this Content in any medium. You waive any right to privacy. You waive any right to inspect or approve uses of the Content or to be compensated for any such uses
Orkut similarly indicates that
By submitting, posting or displaying any Materials on or through the orkut.com service, you automatically grant to us a worldwide, non-exclusive, sublicenseable, transferable, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable right to copy, distribute, create derivative works of, publicly perform and display such Materials.
education and responsibility Government and industry measures for online consumer education have been confused and uneven, reflecting the priorities of different (often competing) agencies and the deregulatory zeitgeist. In Australia for example the terrain has been marked by
That is consistent with the lack of awareness among some consumers, reflecting perceptions that they have no power (or conversely no responsibility) and that in the 'new economy' -
Many of the messages on the Australian broadband forum Whirlpool (aka whinge-pool), for example, appears to be based on perceptions that it is possible for ISPs to deliver unlimited content for only a dollar or so a month and that the market is not driven by the two dominant telcos. Notions of a coherent civil society are predicated on acceptance of rules, personal responsibility and appreciation of economic or social structures. Much of the hype about cyberspace has inhibited that acceptance and there is a task for education beyond production of leaflets about content filters or credit card payments. There is also value in consumer activism in responding to bad practice by guardians of personal information (for example recurrent unauthorised and large-scale release of data by Choicepoint, LexisNexis and other data services) and by retailers. finding help The deregulatory (or co-regulatory) zeitgeist in many nations over the past two decades has seen an emphasis on user self-help. Government (and to a lesser extent NGO) agencies will supply tools but there is an expectation that consumers in many instances will have done the homework, made informed decisions and be prepared to independently pursue redress through small claims courts or other venues Many regulatory agencies provide information in online and print formats about misleading and deceptive practices. One of the most comprehensive guides for Australian consumers remains The Little Black Book of Scams from the Ministerial Council on Consumer Affairs. In Australia the ACCC site offers advice regarding pyramid selling schemes, business opportunity schemes, and fraudulent prizes and lotteries. Those prepared to persevere with navigation will find examples of popular deceptive practices and the legal penalties applying to those who run or participate in such activities. Other federal and state/territory government agencies in Australia have produced briefs, pamphlets or fact sheets with information for consumers about online retailing, taxation, privacy, spam, stranger danger and other issues. Consumer groups, such as the Australian Consumers Association, also provide an invaluable source of trusted information for consumers although many are focussed on tangibles - eg product testing - rather than services and necessarily concentrate on behaviour/misbehaviour in their particular jurisdiction. An emerging question is the extent to which such organisations can - and should - provide a wider range of information online. One response to the emphasis on self help has been suggestions that educational curricula should emphasise online lifeskills training. That training would, for example, cover basic information evaluation (publication online does not necessarily mean true) and insights about identifying and handling -

Specificity / Sensitivity
Phospho-cdc25C (Thr48) (D2H3) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of cdc25C protein only when phosphorylated at Thr48.
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Thr48 of human cdc25C protein.
Cdc25 is a protein phosphatase responsible for dephosphorylating and activating cdc2, a crucial step in regulating the entry of all eukaryotic cells into mitosis (1). cdc25C is constitutively phosphorylated at Ser216 throughout interphase by c-TAK1, while phosphorylation at this site is DNA damage-dependent at the G2/M checkpoint (2). When phosphorylated at Ser216, cdc25C binds to members of the 14-3-3 family of proteins, sequestering cdc25C in the cytoplasm and thereby preventing premature mitosis (3). The checkpoint kinases Chk1 and Chk2 phosphorylate cdc25C at Ser216 in response to DNA damage (4,5).
Full activation of cdc25C involves phosphorylation at more than 12 different sites by cdc2/cyclin B and Polo-like kinase, and the activity of Pin1, a peptidyl-prolyl isomerase (PPI) (6,7). Pin1 contains a WW domain that binds phospho-Ser/Thr-Pro sites and a catalytic PPI region that induces a cis/trans isomerization at phospho-Ser/Thr-Pro bonds (8). Thr48 and Thr67 of cdc25C interact directly with the WW domain of Pin1 when these sites are phosphorylated (9). Thr48 phosphorylation also mediates binding to CKS/p13SUC1 (10).

I've always been interested in doubles and triples. They've generally been the metagames skated over due to a "small playerbase" and so-called "lack of strategy". Now I can't speak about Triples, since I *have* played it and it didn't seem very enjoyable, a lot of people can vouch for Doubles. Doubles is an interesting metagame, and this thread is for discussion of how the CAPs(which were designed for a singles metagame) function in a doubles metagame(both Generation 4 and the unofficial "Generation 5 CAP"). Syclant - The glass cannon takes a blow in doubles, because of the fact that is much easier to revenge kill, and the move Substitute loses a lot of its scouting value. Syclant is not entirely out of the ring however, and it can work in generation 5 on "BlizzSpam" teams as an excellent mixed threat. However, it most certainly isn't breaking any records. Revenankh - Bulky Revenankh is a nice addition on 2v2 teams, capable of holding it's own in Generation 5 with the new upgraded Drain Punch and with Shadow Sneak, invaluable move that it is. In Generation 4 however,it struggles a little, but makes for a good bulky Trick Room sweeper. Pyroak - Pyroak makes for an excellent addition to Sun teams, but sorely feels the lack of Chlorophyll and its middling speed. Its bulky, but it will not revolutionize this metagame. Pyroak makes for a decent Trick Room sweeper however. Fidgit - Fidgit shines a lot as a supporter, and in doubles, it gets to showcase its talents. Tailwind is a dangerous tool, and with Persistent, Fidgit is bound to make a splash in the area of themed teams. It also has access to Encore, letting it slow down the opponent's assault. Fidgit is one of the few CAPs who are bound to find more usage in doubles than in singles. Stratagem - Much like Syclant, Stratagem takes a hit in usage in doubles, but not an overly heavy one. With access to Levitate, it can avoid the popular Earthquake, and has a wide movepool which is sure to gain it a slot on several goodstuffs teams. However, its frailty means that it will be felled easily by priority. Arghonaut - Arghonaut's entire concept fails in doubles, because outside of Follow Me + Belly Drum leads, stat boosting is very rare in doubles. So Arghonaut doesn't have anything to actually do, outside of sitting out on the field and becoming fodder. Kitsunoh - With Frisk, Kitsunoh makes for a good lead. While Superpower is a bit of a drawback in doubles, Kitsunoh functions very well between ShadowStrike and the elemental punches, as it has a partner to pick up the slack. Kitsunoh's value comes from its speed, meaning it makes for an excellent revenge killer. Cyclohm - The dragon of global effects. CYclohm has tools for almost any weather(barring Sandstorm), Gravity and can even be EV'd to play under Trick Room! Cyclohm also has respectable bulk, meaning it can function as an anti-weather Pokemon. It certainly prefers Rain more than other weathers. Colossoil - It has a strong Earthquake, and has access to STAB SUcker Punch, making it the bane of all frail sweepers. However, status is a bit rare in doubles, so it will mostly have to rely on Life Orb. Krilowatt - One of the best Rain sweepers there is. Really, the only thing it's missing is Swift Swim, but it doesn't need it too much as it can function alongside anotehr Rain sweeper, allowing it to clean out speed-freaks while Krilowatt washes out the other Pokemon. STAB Surfs in the Rain really sting. Voodoom - The last of the CAPs. Voodoom doesn't have too much going for it, but in Gen 5, Lightningrod lets it function very well alongside Zapdos. One of the lesser threats, btu definitely cannot be ignored. Discuss.
Don't you think you're underselling Syclant? Sure, Blizzard is the only reason you'd use it, but Compoundeyes STAB 114 base SpA Blizzard hitting both opponents is awesome. Cyclohm isn't slow enough to counter TR, though. I mean, compared to slow stuff like Eggy and Rhyperior and Aggron, y'know?
Compoundeyes STAB 114 base SpA Blizzard is awesome....if you can get around the ineveitable priority. Priority is pretty important in doubles, because its really important for taking spread attack abusers. Cyclohm doesn't counter TR, I mention it *can* be EV'd to play under TR. There's a difference!
Cyclohm and Krillowatt get Discharge, Blizzard and Surf...on an unrelated note, was Cyclohm supposed to be a Hippowdon ripoff because their physical defense stats are the same as well as their main attacking stat.
Speaking of spread moves, VooZap looks like a good combo. Zapdos spams Discharge, and Voodoom's Special Attack keeps going up. What do you guys think?
Voodoom is pretty fast, and with Dark Pulse and Aura Sphere can really help Zaodos eliminate troublesome Pokemon, and its getting more and more powerful as the game goes on. Wait Dark Pulse is a long range attack in triples? I had no idea, I only knew about Aura Sphere 0.o.
Gust, Wing Attack, Fly, Peck, Drill Peck, Sky Attack, Aeroblast, Aerial Ace, Bounce, Pluck, Air Slash, Brave Bird, Chatter, Sky Drop, Acrobatics, Hurricane, Dragon Pulse, Water Pulse, Aura Sphere, Dark Pulse, Perish Song, and Heal Pulse are all the long ranged attacks (all flying attacks except Air Cutter, Dark Pulse, Aura Sphere, Dragon Pulse, Water Pulse, Perish Song and Heal Pulse). Actually with Voodoom the two pokemon that resist its STABs can be covered by Zappy's Extrasensory, however isn't it a bad idea to have two special attackers out at once?
It would be if Blissey had any semblance of usage. However, with things like Colossoil and whatnot running around having a party, Blissey's in a shell. In any case, Voodoom can always run CC to beat down it, it does decent damage with no EVs, and can be picked off.
HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE bump With the release of Tomahawk, we've got a new addition to CAP Doubles! Discuss what Tomahawk could do in the CAP metagame! I think Tomahawk would be a nice addition to Rain teams, with its strong Hurricane. It would like team up decently with Krilowatt, but that's just my opinion! Let's get this thread active again....

New report says Chris Hansen in talks with NBA for expansion team
Tim Montemayor with KGO Radio in San Francisco reported Wednesday via Twitter several NBA sources have confirmed the talks, and Hansen and Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer are "aware of a working plan to return the NBA to Seattle," he wrote.
"As the league preps for a new TV deal they have discussed a timetable but have not settled the issue," he said.
Hansen said in interviews after losing his bid he never intended to steal another city's team and would not have pursued the Kings if he hadn't been told their departure was inevitable.
Hansen recently said he was optimistic the NBA would return to Seattle in the coming years and seemed to favor an expansion team after his bruising Sacramento battle.
"It was again made clear to me today that Chris Hansen did an about-face in attitude and tone late in the NBA Kings fight and that is the only reason expansion would be 'likely and viable' in Seattle," Montemayor tweeted.
"It is believed Hansen is one of the few or the only one who can overcome the hurdles put forward in Seattle," Montemayor continued, adding that his source told him, "'The passion that had (Hansen) fighting so hard will be counted on to complete the process' in Seattle."

An Angler
An Angler
Now as an angler melancholy standing
Upon a green bank yielding room for landing,
A wriggling yellow worm thrust on his hook,
Now in the midst he throws, then in a nook:
Here pulls his line, there throws it in again,
Mendeth his cork and bait, but all in vain,
He long stands viewing of the curled stream;
At last a hungry pike, or well-grown bream
Snatch at the worm, and hasting fast away,
He knowing it a fish of stubborn sway,
Pulls up his rod, but soft, as having skill,
Wherewith the hook fast holds the fish's gill;
Then all his line he freely yieldeth him,
Whilst furiously all up and down doth swim
Th' insnared fish, here on the top doth scud,
There underneath the banks, then in the mud,
And with his frantic fits so scares the shoal,
That each one takes his hide, or starting hole:
By this the pike, clean wearied, underneath
A willow lies.

Basware lays down predictions for trends and issues impacting finance and procurement in 2013
STAMFORD, Conn—Purchase-to-pay (P2P) and e-invoicing solutions provider Basware has announced predictions for key trends and issues that are expected to impact finance and procurement in 2013. The increasing use of mobile apps to conduct key invoice processing functions; expanding use of social media platforms to collaborate with colleagues, suppliers and partners; and the growth of the cloud as an enabler of automation are central themes that Baseware sees driving growth this year. As well, business commerce networks will continue expanding, improving visibility and control across the financial supply chain.
"This year, marked by a continued focus on better managing spend and increasing profitability, companies will continue to require real-time visibility and control over finances," said Bob Cohen, Basware's VP of Marketing, North America. "While the challenges and goals remain the same, in 2013 we expect to see an explosion in mobility, social collaboration, cloud-based services and other trends that are redefining the way people work. Business commerce networks will continue to grow as they enable companies to conduct P2P transactions more effectively, gain critical insights into savings opportunities, and better manage cash flow."
The following are key trends anticipated this year:
The year of the app with BYOD
As workers become increasingly accustomed to using the same devices (smart phones and tablets) at work, as they do at home, they require mobile apps that let them to work on the move. Mobile apps for purchase-to-pay are enabling professionals to review, approve and reject invoices and purchase requisitions when they're out of the office. With these mobile capabilities enabling real-time anywhere, anytime access, businesses can speed up the review and approval cycles of invoice and requisition processing, providing data visibility and actionable performance insight on the move.
Social media
The growth of social media is continuing in the corporate environment. While many companies are establishing policies to limit or manage the use of social media in the workplace, savvy organizations recognize that social media can further collaboration in the workplace. In finance departments, social media is being applied to enable an immediate dialogue between buyers and sellers, to discuss purchasing requisitions and invoices and handle disputes on the fly.
E-invoicing and open network collaboration
The focus on financial collaboration between buyers and suppliers through e-invoicing and transactions over business commerce networks is increasing as companies realize their value. A recent study from Billentis reported that the potential cost savings of e-invoicing is estimated to be as much as 60-80 percent compared to traditional paper-based processing. E-invoicing use is rising thanks to a "viral" ecosystem as it is passed down the value chain from a large customer to a large supplier and consequently the suppliers that work with that business. These factors, combined with legislative changes and e-invoicing mandates by governments, improvements in connectivity solutions and market awareness, combine to increase the number of organizations adopting e-invoicing and the volume of invoices processed. In the 2012 e-invoicing study commissioned by Basware, 73 percent of respondents globally used electronic invoicing to some degree compared to 59 percent in 2011.
The open network, the global ecosystem of interoperable business commerce networks across which buyers and suppliers can easily transact regardless of their technology or document formats, will continue to be increasingly important as businesses look to increase cross-enterprise collaboration to speed up business processes and the flow of cash. Closer interoperation between suppliers and buyers will also provide better control over goods and services as well as the ability to conduct global commerce more effectively.

George Denis Patrick Carlin is a Grammy-winning American stand-up comedian, actor, and author.
Carlin is especially noted for his political and black humor and his observations on language, psychology, and religion along with many taboo subjects. Carlin and his "Seven Dirty Words" comedy routine were central to the 1978 U.S. Supreme Court case F.C.C. v. Pacifica Foundation, in which a narrow 5-4 decision by the justices affirmed the government's right to regulate Carlin's act on the public airwaves.

Kongsberg Debut Naval Training Simulator at Florida Expo
Kongsberg debut its latest integrated naval training solution at I/ITSEC 2012 Show in Orlando, Florida. Proteus Interact (Integrated Naval Training Environment for Resource management And Crew Teamwork) is a joint development between the simulation and training departments of Kongsberg, and is the first solution designed to offer fully integrated naval training for complex multi-skills, team and force-level integrated naval scenarios. It uses a low-risk high level architecture (HLA) to create a federation of Kongsberg Proteus naval training solutions and Polaris Ship Bridge Simulators. By combining these two class-leading families of trainers, Kongsberg has created a scalable training solution based on a common, low-risk, cost-effective software family to provide a stable simulation environment. For the first time, the technology connects together the bridge and CIC teams with crew-served weapon operators, lookouts, cooperating vessels, helicopters, aircraft, UAVs, threats and traffic ships that all operate in a common scenario. Individual Polaris and Proteus systems can still be used as part-task trainers as required to teach basic operator and team skills or, using Proteus Interact, federated to create a powerful training environment for the whole crew and its cooperating assets, all in real-time.

Dry Dock Structural Integrity with Computers
Overloaded dry docks are not a pretty picture. They crack, buckle, flood, sink, damage the ships they are trying to lift - and sometimes even cause accidental deaths.

With past docking failures in mind, prudent dry dock operators strive to avoid overloading, normally through a set of manual calculations
