Tilidine (INN, USAN), or tilidate (BAN) (Valoron, Valtran, Tilidin) is a synthetic opioid analgesic, used mainly in Germany, Switzerland and Belgium for treatment of moderate to severe pain, both acute and chronic.[1]
Considered a low- to medium-potency opioid, tilidine has the oral potency of about 0.2, i.e., a dose of 100 mg p.o. is equianalgesic to approximately 20 mg morphine sulfate orally. It is administered orally (by mouth), rectally (by a suppository), or by injection (s.c., i.m. or slowly i.v.) with single doses of 50 to 100 mg, the maximal daily dose being up to 600 mg.[2]
Tilidine itself is only a weak opioid, but is rapidly metabolised in the liver and gut to its active metabolite nortilidine and then to bisnortilidine.[3][4] It is the (1S,2R)-isomer that is responsible for its analgesic activity[5]
Tilidine is used in the form of hydrochloride or phosphate salt. In Germany, tilidine is available in a fixed combination with naloxone for oral administration (Valoron N and generics); the admixture of naloxone is claimed to lower the abuse liability of the opioid analgesic.[6] In Switzerland the original Valoron brand with only tilidine and no naloxone is also available.
As well as its use as an analgesic, tilidine is also commonly used in Germany for treatment of restless legs syndrome.[7]
It is manufactured by a Diels-Alder reaction of 1-N,N-dimethylaminobuta-1,3-diene with ethyl atropate, yielding a mixture of isomers,[8] of which only the (E)-(trans)-isomers are active and are separated subsequently from the mixture by precipitation of the inactive (Z)-(cis)-isomers as zinc complex.[3] The inactive (Z)-(cis)-isomers may be epimerized to the more thermodynamically favoured (E)-(trans)-isomers via reflux in diluted phosphoric acid.

Stephanopoulos Demands of Santorum: 'Where's the Evidence' That America's Enemies Don't Fear Obama?
Offended by Rick Santorum's assertion that President Obama is not feared by America's enemies, ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos stuck up for the President Monday and pressed Santorum to give evidence to his claim. The former Pennsylvania senator was announcing his bid for the presidency on ABC's Good Morning America, and Stephanopoulos hit him early and often during the interview.
"You've also argued that our enemies don't fear President Obama, but where's the evidence of that?" Stephanopoulos asked. "The al Qaeda leadership has been decimated, Osama bin Laden is dead, no significant attack against the United States has been successful. Where is that evidence?"
[Click here for audio. Video below the break.]
Stephanopoulos, a former campaign advisor to Bill Clinton and Clinton White House communications director, put in a cheap shot at both the beginning and the end of the interview. At the outset, he aired a viewer's harsh question to Santorum in order to mask his own bias.
Stephanopoulos mentioned that Santorum "got trounced" in his 2006 senate race, before selectively picking a tough viewer question: "Please ask. Sen. Santorum why, after being rejected by the people of Pennsylvania 59-41 in his last Senate race, he thinks Americans would want him as their president?"
Then after pressing Santorum on Medicare and on his remarks about Obama, the GMA co-host provided one last jab at the end of the interview when he tried to bait Santorum into criticizing fellow conservative Sarah Palin.
Stephanopoulos asked Santorum with a slight smirk "did Sarah Palin get it right on Paul Revere, or not?" He was referring to her recent account of Paul Revere's ride and the media storm that followed. Santorum punted on the question.
A transcript of the interview, which aired on June 6 at 7:09 a.m. EDT, is as follows:
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: And joining us now is one candidate no longer coy about his intentions. Former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum here for his big announcement. Good morning, Senator. You are in?
Former Sen. RICK SANTORUM (R-Penn.): Good morning, George. How are ya? Yeah, well you see behind me, we've got the state set up, and we're ready to announce that we're going to be in this race and we're in it to win, and we're very excited about what the future holds. We've got a great, great team in the early primary states, and we've got a lot of momentum, and I'm very, very excited about this opportunity.
STEPHANOPOULOS: You say you're in it to win, and you have won some early straw polls, one over the weekend in New Hampshire, another one in South Carolina. But the latest Gallup poll has you at the back of the pack, and you got trounced in your last senate race, and it leads me to a question that came in from one of our viewers. It's Charles F. of Los Angeles, California. He asks "Please ask Sen. Santorum why, after being rejected by the people of Pennsylvania 59%-41% in his last senate race, he thinks Americans would want him as their president?"
Do you have a credible path for the nomination?
SANTORUM: Oh, I think I do. I mean, look, what people are looking for is someone who has stood by their principles in good times and in bad. And 2006, I think, by everybody's estimation, was a pretty bad time for a Republican, and particularly for a conservative in states like Pennsylvania. And I stood up, and I didn't back away. I didn't back down on trying to reform the Social Security system. President Bush, you know, went out after the 2004 election and said look, we've got to do something because Social Security is unsustainable. In an election year, I went out to the floor of the United States Senate with Jim DeMint and started arguing for reforming Social Security. Not evan Paul Ryan in his budget now, in the face of trillions of dollars of deficits currently, had the temerity to step forward and say we have to do Social Security. So yeah, I did some things that were very unpopular, but if you look back on what I did and when I did it, people can say you know what? He may have lost, but he didn't flinch, he stood by what he believed in, and he continued the fight through the end.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But it is admirable to stand by what you believe in, but could it lead to the same result this time around? For example, you just mentioned Congressman Ryan's budget plan. It appears that you want to go even farther than Congressman Ryan. You say you've criticized him for not applying his changes in Medicare, which Democrats say would end Medicare as we know it, for not applying that to those at or near the retirement age. So you'd say to people 55 and older yes, your Medicare will be changed as well?
SANTORUM: Well remember George, almost 25 percent of seniors right now have what the Ryan plan is, it's called Medicare Advantage. And in fact, that number was growing up until Barack Obama slashed the program –
STEPHANOPOULOS: But that's an option –
SANTORUM: – well, but the point is, seniors were able to take money and go out and purchase insurance. And by the way, the seniors who were most likely to do it were lower-income and actually less-educated seniors. Why? Because they found it was a better deal. And so I believe that, seniors – by the way, in the drug program, Medicare Part D, is exactly the Ryan plan. In other words, seniors get resources from the federal government, go out and make choices. No seniors believes they're being thrown off a cliff because they have Medicare Part D. Medicare Part D isn't a government-run, one-size-fits-all drug program, and it's working wonderfully. Seniors love it. "We forced it down their throat," quoting the Democrats. No we didn't, We gave them the choices, and seniors can in fact do this. It does save money, and it's going to be a good thing for them, and it's going to be a great thing for our country.
STEPHANOPOULOS: You've also argued that our enemies don't fear President Obama, but where's the evidence of that? The al Qaeda leadership has been decimated, Osama bin Laden is dead, no significant attack against the United States has been successful. Where is that evidence?
SANTORUM: Well, the evidence is if you look at the countries that we have been appeasing, the Iranians, they are moving full-scale forward with their nuclear program. They know that the president is not going to do anything to stop them, he has been a paper tiger, and they are the existential threat to the state of Israel. And the Israelis know it, and Americans know it, and this president has not stepped forward and has not done anything to stop that threat. That's one, but there are many. Look at what he's doing in Syria, slapping the back of the hand of Assad instead of going after him at least as tough as he went after Mubarak our friend.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Senator, we're out of time. But real quickly, did Sarah Palin get it right on Paul Revere, or not?
SANTORUM: You know what, that's – to be honest with you, just – I've been sort of hunkered down. I have no idea, I haven't really been paying attention to this one, George. I'll pass on that one.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Okay, senator, thanks very much. Congratulations on your announcement and good luck.

What the hell, Georgie? No one stopped those things from happening, especially not your "I wanna be a Cowboy" Chairman, the bogus potus! Al Qaeda decimated? We wish! They are still going on strong, whether we like it or not!
Who are you trying to fool? The same people who voted for the Chairman in the first place and con them into voting for him again on a bogus record?

Santorum vs. the media

At least at this point, I don't believe Santorum is the best Republican candidate. But, as can be seen here, the Democratic Party shills in the media won't give any Republican a break. Georgie is one of the biggest hypocrites on the planet. So Republicans better get a candidate who won't cowtow to the fools ( as McCain did ). [Never,Never trust a "liberal" (progressive)]

George S. has many big biases. He is trying to do straight news, but I am uncomfortable with someone who has such strong partisan heritage doing that, instead of being the Sean Hannity type who states his conservative agenda to dislodge Democrats in every part of this radio show and TV.
That said.
Asking Sanatorium why he think are loosing office, in his own State where people follow him the most, and where he was elected already....how that positions him for higher office....is totally fair, and something Sanatorium has prepared for...for sure.
Asking him to back up why he says the enemies of America do not fear the President of the USA ... he can not make assertions about our President, outside our boarders, and not get a question about it.
Regarding Paul Revere....he certainly was not in a tower ringing bells. Right? He will be running against Palin if she enters....do we skip talking about hair plugged, plagiarist Biden too? If you are weak on history too....google plagiarism + biden
George S. asked Sanatorium entirely reasonable questions...your only issue should be why he does not do the same with Democrats.
Sorry but this topic line is just crying wolf....keep your powder dry little ones

Rawson (originally "Trerawson" from Welsh) is the capital of the Argentine province of Chubut, in Patagonia. It has about 26,000 inhabitants, and it is the head town of the Rawson Department, which has 122,000 inhabitants (figures as per the 2001 census [INDEC]). Even though it is the provincial capital, its population is smaller than that of other cities in Chubut: Comodoro Rivadavia, Trelew, Puerto Madryn and Esquel. Rawson became the provincial capital in 1957, when Chubut was constituted as a province.
Rawson is located on National Route 3, about 1,360 kilometres south of Buenos Aires, some 20 kilometres from both Trelew and it is served by the Almirante Marco Andrés Zar Airport in Trelew. It is crossed by the Chubut River, over which the first bridge was built in 1889. Playa Unión, Rawson's resort beach, is 6 km from the city centre.
The city has a fishing port, Puerto Rawson, on the Atlantic coast, 5 km down the river. Provincial administration and the port are the main economical activities in the city.
There are two small museums in Rawson. The City Museum has historical objects and old photographs. The Don Bosco Museum has a collection of local history and wildlife, including artefacts from the Welsh community. The General San Martín Zoo and Park covers 6 hectares of the shore of the Chubut River.
Rawson's climate is dry, with temperatures in the range of 0 °C to 15 °C in winter, and 10 °C to 20 °C in spring and autumn, with peaks of up to 38 °C in summer.
First settlement[edit]
The first settlement in the area of Rawson was founded by Henry Libanus Jones, a Welsh explorer and cattle dealer who had been living in Buenos Aires since 1810. In 1854 he founded a forward post for expeditions of hunting and collection of wild cattle at the border of Chubut river.
These precarious constructions were abandoned soon after, but they were found and taken advantage of by the first Welsh settlers who disembarked from the clipper "Mimosa" in Puerto Madryn at July 28, 1865. Immediately they explored towards the south in search of fresh water, until they came to the river.
Mimosa's settlers called the fort "Caer Antur" (Welsh=Adventure Fort) or "Yr Hen Amddiffinfa" (Welsh=the old bunker, or old bunker). One of the settlers of the Mimosa, Abraham Matthews, describes the constructions like this: "The place that we denominated Yr Hen Amddiffinfa was a portion of land surrounded by a pit measuring sixty to one hundred yards in diameter. (….) These men had excavated the pit and thrown the soil in, so that when raised to the tide the pit is filled of water, and thus more insurances felt, because according to it was said, the Indians of the Patagonia never crossed the water to attack".
Despite the numerous studies made, the location of the fort in relation to the modern city does not exist today, since the river has changed course since then, and no remains of the fort can be found today.
The town[edit]
The town was officially founded on September 15, 1865, by Colonel Julián Murga, and settled by newly arrived immigrants from Wales. It was named after Dr. Guillermo Rawson, the Argentine Interior Minister of the time, who supported the Welsh settlement in Argentina.
Substantial construction of government buildings in the 1970s resulted in the town being nicknamed "The little Brasilia of Patagonia". It was originally known as Trerawson, Welsh for "Rawson's town", a name it still retains among Welsh speakers and some older residents.

Storage | News
Landon School in Bethesda, MD has implemented a new backup and replication solution and a new storage solution that work together to optimize data protection operations for the school's virtual machine environment.
The school recently moved its IT infrastructure to a virtual machine environment to simplify management and cut costs, but backup and replication operations were severely affecting the performance of the virtual infrastructure.
"To eliminate performance degradation of the backup and replication operations, we began to seek new solutions for dynamic storage scalability that would have the flexibility to support heavy I/O loads when we needed them," said Fernando Sabio, CCNA and principal for Concentus, the schools' IT service provider, in a prepared statement.
Landon School and Concentus evaluated several possible solutions before deciding on the Grid, a storage solution from Gridstore that has been optimized for Veeam VM backups. Veeam Backup and Replication, which has been optimized for VMware and Hyper-V backups, provides file-level granular restoration capabilities and a Windows-centric environment. Meanwhile, the Grid uses server-side virtual controller (SVC) technology to provide custom-fit storage that is optimized for applications across physical and virtual environments. It also combines building blocks of storage with intelligent vControllers, so Landon School can independently scale capacity, input/output, and processing, without disrupting normal operations.
The combined solution provides the school with a scalable, modern virtual machine data center backup infrastructure that saves money on power and cooling, and the school estimated that the data recovery process following a catastrophic event would now require hours rather than days.
Landon School is an independent, nonsectarian day school for boys in Bethesda, MD, serving over 680 students in grades three through 12, and employing over 125 faculty members.
Further information about the Grid can be found on Gridstore's site.

Cardinals Plagued by Turnovers in Loss
, 01-24-2011 at 12:31 PM (2267 Views)
This story appeared in the January 19 edition of the Leon Journal-Reporter.
The varsity boys were doomed by turnovers in a 76-43 loss to Mount Ayr on Thursday.
The Cards played a competitive, albeit sloppy first quarter.
The Raiders jumped out to a 7-2 lead before Jacob Hayworth hit a 3-pointer from the wing. Bryson Durrow added a bucket after recovering a loose ball.
The Cards then were bitten by the turnover bug, giving up the ball on three straight possessions before Matt Petty stopped the run with a nice crossover to set up a jumper that shrunk the deficit to 13-9 at the 3:00 mark.
In the closing seconds of the quarter, Preston Pederson picked up a nice dish to Colton Toney in the paint. The score stood at 19-15 at the break.
The Cards just couldnt get anything going in the second quarter, putting up just six points in the period.
Cardinal turnovers and transition defense led to the Raiders extending their lead by 10 points in the quarter. They were able to consistently force mistakes out of the Cards and turn them into points at the other end.
The teams went into halftime with the score at 35-21.
The Cards came out more aggressive on defense in the second half. Mount Ayr was still able to get a bucket early on a perfect no-look pass.
But Bryson Durrow countered with a nifty move of his own at 6:40: coming down the floor on a fast break, he made a spin move to get by his defender and made a bounce pass to Petty, who made the layup and drew the foul. He converted the three point play at the line to make the score 40-24.
The Raiders followed that up with a 9-0 run before Hayworth hit his second 3-pointer of the night on a kickout from Pederson at the 4:00 mark.
The Cards appeared to have a potential momentum-creating play at 2:30, but it was not to be. Myles Hanna blocked two shot attempts, but when the shooter went up for the third time, Hanna committed the foul. The Raiders converted both free throws.
Just moments later, however, Durrow forced a turnover, setting up Pedersons strong finish at the rim to bring the tally to 51-29. The teams traded baskets to end the third quarter with a 55-31 score.
The fourth quarter brought with it foul trouble for the Cards. In the span of 20 seconds, both Hanna and Petty picked up their fourth personal foul, and had to spend time on the bench.
The Raiders put together a 9-2 run to start the period before Taylor Brown hit a pair of buckets on back-to-back possessions. But the Raiders closed out the game on a 12-4 run over the final four minutes to secure the 76-43 win.
"We played hard but we just couldn't match their offensive firepower.
They are very good. The pace just got too fast for us and we couldn't
keep up, said coach Zach Clark.

Revionics Launches Collaborative Portal for Retailers and their Trading Partners
ROSEVILLE, CALIFORNIA, March 24, 2010: Revionics, Inc., a leading provider in retail lifecycle price optimization, inventory replenishment and consumer demand management software, announced the launch of their newest module,
. The robust design of Collaborate delivers efficiency, accuracy, and control to the retailer by combining a centralized repository for item, deal, and related supplier data with powerful online negotiation tools. Collaborate is a Software-as-a-Service offering, integrating with a retailer's existing systems or as an extension of Revionics' solutions, including
Promotion Planning
and Replenishment.
Collaborate empowers the retailer to easily automate many manual, administrative activities, from deal collection to promotion reporting and reconciliation. Online tools enable cross-functional visibility to vendor offers, status of vendor funds, and the retail item demand forecast. Collaborate enables retailers to deploy functionality as needed, and to offer a unified standard of communication and information across their supply chain.
Key features included in the Collaborate module include:
Cooperative online deal management:
Retailers can share forecasts, actual results, and performance reports to help the supplier offer more informed deals. Deals are entered, negotiated, tracked, and stored in one central repository.
Causal impact of price and deal monies revealed:
Retailers know in advance how price and promotion will impact demand with
Revionics Forecast
, and can now share this information with their suppliers. Advanced knowledge of potential impact will improve the quality and relevance of the deals offered.
Collection and hosting of supplier data:
Retailers struggling with the administrative tasks of collecting supplier and item information can leverage Collaborate as a data collecting and hosting solution. Collaborate accepts a variety of data transmission types, including manual entry.
Reporting and deal reconciliation:
Pertinent reports can be shared with the retailers' supply community, including store-level forecasting, sales performance, and promotional plans and calendars. Electronic scan-down reports automate and expedite collection of deal monies.
One platform with Revionics Replenishment and Lifecycle Pricing:
Retailers leveraging Revionics solutions, such as store-level replenishment automation, inventory optimization, and promotion planning solutions can provide their suppliers closed-loop communication about item, store, and enterprise level performance. Enhanced visibility empowers the supplier to play a more active role in ensuring retailer success.
Configurable deployment and integration:
Collaborate acts as an extension of the retailer, with customized branding options, and can be configured in a centralized, decentralized, or mixed mode environment. Merge Collaborate with Revionics solutions, other merchandising solutions, or supplier systems for improved automation.
Platform connectivity simplified:
For retailers and suppliers already leveraging an existing trading exchange or other method of e-commerce, Collaborate can accept data feeds from these sources and further enhance the supply chain relationship with additional functionality.
For an expanded list of features, visit
, or attend an informative webinar at
"Our community of over 100 retail customers asked us to provide a solution that offers an automated approach to administration-intensive tasks," said Todd P. Michaud, President and CEO of Revionics, Inc.

We are delighted to offer this compelling solution to retailers, effective immediately."

Sorry, I don't know of a phone version of the equalizer.
You can change the quality on spotify, but only if you go premium. With premium, you can get 320 kbps, which is quite good.
If you want an equalizer on Spotify, try equalify. It's pretty good!

I'm a regular person with to many problems all pent up inside, but i never let it get to me or my gaming ways.
Following (3)
The start of something good.(Hopefully)
Mr Van Carpels
on 06.02.2012
I recently said I would do a weekly blog post about CoD, I will, but I haven't been playing it and that's when I like to think about things relating to and the game itself. Now I want to do more because I recently picked back up monster hunter(one of my favorite series) and with the coming of new Dark Souls content i'm thinking about doing the same with those two games; partly because I like these games but also because I don't see many articles about these two games on the cblogs.
With Monster Hunter I'm going to focus on how the series has evolved and the reasons why people don't like the series, because lets face it, if you're a first timer with Monster Hunter it's pretty tough to get into, just like my next topic Dark Souls. For Dark Souls I might write about the experiences I have had with the game and I want to start a character in Dark Souls that is determined by you, the reader of this article. I want suggestions, like what style of combat, what should I focus on stat wise, what weapon type should I use. Give me some suggestions for this character that I will write about.
Should I do this?
Mr Van Carpels
on 05.26.2012
I have been tossing an idea around for about a week and that idea is to write once a week about Call of Duty, things about the game like the community, gameplay, why I hate it but respect it at the same time. I would call it Active Duty(Got any better name please tell me an I may consider it). Basically i'm asking should I do this and if so how frequently(once, twice a week), how long should the articles be, what do you people want to hear about CoD. If your wondering why I picked CoD, it's because it is such a big name in the game industry, people I know rave about it and I really hate, but respect the game series as a whole.
Cheating, I don't know why. Your thoughts?
Mr Van Carpels
on 05.26.2012
So this morning started as normal and since I finished my semester I immediately got on Diablo 3 to find out I had my account cleared of all my items and gold, except for the items on my demon hunter. At first I was confused but then remembered reading about this kind of thing happening and I got curious as to how they got my account, I only play with people I know and I have never joined a public game, there has to be something I'm missing.
After I had sent in my ticket to battlenet I started thinking why, why do people do this. I get that they can make gold, now especially with the auction house(despite it's problems), but in all why. Why can't people grind like I did for all my items. I grinded for a while and it felt rewarding when I got good equipment. How can stripping an account to get items and gold be rewarding, I know some people just do it for their own benefit, especially with the real money auction house coming.
This brings me to my real point why do people cheat or hack some one's account, whats the deep down reason, is it money, Some repressed feeling of being bullied and now you are the bully or is just because you can? If you spent the time to read this thanks and if you have some you think or believe is a reason for someone to cheat or hack(I don't like using that word) please tell me in the comments.
How Gaming can help people.(My Toughts)
Mr Van Carpels
on 05.13.2012
Video Games are mostly seen as entertainment and sometimes art, but has anyone really talked about how games have helped people? The answer would be yes most likely, but has anyone really give it much though, I would like to think yes and I might be right. I see games as more then entertaining art, I see them as ways to help out people and kids in need weather is be as a stress release or as some kind of help to get over a shitty day.
Gaming as a stress release is something I believe gaming does, just look at any multiplayer in gaming. I think most of the people who are on multiplayer, namely COD, are on to relieve some kind of pent up stress; while it may not look like it I think they are on a subconscious level. Just listen to a games chat, people are yelling their heads off calling people rude names and other insults. Now it may look like they are building anger(and they might be), but sometimes its just good to yell and scream at someone just for the fuck of it.
Now just gaming can relieve stress it can also help someone get past a hard point in their day or life. I know of a quite a few people who when they are having a bad time hop on games, including myself. Just playing a game and thinking about the game and not what shitty things happened to you like a break up, a death from someone close to you or something else troubling to you is a good thing. Just as music can immerse you in other things, gaming can immerse you into another world to escape your own for a short time.
I like to believe these ideas because its what I do; games have helped me past some hard times. When I was growing up and things werent all sunshine and butterflies in my house I would play games because I wouldnt about what people were arguing about. When I would have a serious break up or was lead on by some girl I really liked I went and played games with my friends and used it to not think about the troubles in my life but to think about how I can make this craptastic day better than it is. These are just my thoughts. Im interested in what you the person reading this thinks about the topic I have just rambled on about?

Tuesday, Jan 71:05 PM
- Solar stocks started 2014 with a bang, and are adding to their momentum today (TAN +4%) with the help of positive industry and company-specific news.
- The Chinese government, which last year set a 35GW 2015 cumulative installation target, is now promising additional support, and says it will draft guidelines for industry M&A. Consolidation with China's fragmented solar cell/module market could both lower overcapacity (already declining thanks to rising demand) and lead to further margin expansion.
- Yingli (YGE +8.7%) and Canadian Solar (CSIQ +7.4%), both of which saw huge 2013 gains, are today's biggest gainers. Yingli has announced it's forming a JV with state-owned China National Nuclear Corp. to create 500MW of utility-scale solar projects. Canadian has announced a deal to supply 25.3MW of modules for four North Carolina projects.
- Also: Hanwha (HSOL +4.6%) has signed an MOU to supply up to 50MW of modules to U.S. residential solar installer OneRoof Energy.
- Other gainers: FSLR +2.7% (hit by a Goldman downgrade yesterday). SUNE +4.4%. DQ +4.9%. CSUN +3.2%. JASO +5.5%. ENPH +6.8%. ASTI +3.8%. JKS +3%.

- Six months after signing a "framework agreement" with the Suqian, China municipal government for the creation of a manufacturing JV, Ascent Solar (ASTI) has signed a "definitive agreement" with Suqian's government to create the JV. (PR)
- As previously announced, Suqian will invest $32.5M in the JV, which will produce Ascent's EnerPlex solar-powered accessories. Ascent will also get rent-free use of 331K sq. feet of factory/office space, a 5-year corporate tax holiday, and a 50% tax rebate over the following 5 years. Ascent will eventually be able to purchase 215K sq. feet of space at a "favorable price."
- Suqian will initially have a 75% stake in the JV, but Ascent will have a chance to up its stake to 80% in 2014, after providing IP and equipment. The JV is expected to run a facility with 25MW of manufacturing capacity by Q1 2016, and (if all goes well) create a 100MW facility within six years.

- Ascent Solar Technologies (ASTI -8.4%) falls after releasing preliminary Q3 results.
- Management expects Q3 revenue of $275K, up 22% Q/Q but down 51% Y/Y. EnerPlex revenue more than doubled Q/Q to $238K while government R&D contract revenue declined more than 85%. The company expects to end the quarter with cash of $3.9M.
- The company sees government revenue swinging back in Q4 to above Q2 levels after a "delay in government funding" hurt Q3 results.
- CEO Victo Lee: "We believe the momentum in our EnerPlex product sales quarter over quarter validates our strategy of shifting towards a B2C business model."

- Solar stocks, among the biggest standouts in a year that has been very good to many high-beta tech names, have staged a strong two-day rally in the wake of Trina's (TSL +13.2%) Q2 beat and guidance hike.
- Trina's numbers have sparked three upgrades, the most recent of which came today, courtesy of Cowen.
- Bloomberg notes Trina, SunPower (SPWR +4.3%), and JinkoSolar (JKS +5.6% - just announced a new 23MW supply deal) are all operating at full capacity, and thinking of expanding.
- S&P's Angelo Zino: "I think it's safe to say that we'll see a number of tier-one manufacturers add capacity, probably in 2014."
- That would be a positive for equipment suppliers such as AMAT, GTAT, and VECO, who have seen their solar orders plummet as module makers scramble to stabilize crashing prices and margins.
- Other names rising today: CSIQ +9.7%. SOL +6.7%. YGE +6.2%. JASO +4.2%. CSUN +5.4%. ASTI +5.1%. STP +3.8%. LDK +4.1%.

- Ascent Solar (ASTI -7.3%) releases worrying Q2 results. (PR)
- EPS of -$0.15 misses by $0.03 (only 1 analyst covers the company).
- Revenue of $225K grew from $155K a year ago, but misses by $175K.
- Net loss accelerated to $7.1M from $6.4M in the previous quarter and $5.9M in Q2 2012.
- Ascent burned through $9.98M in cash during H1, and has $4M left as of June 30, or not even 2 quarters' worth (even after adding in $4M in series A funding not yet on the books). Unless revenue growth takes off or spending is significantly pared, a new capital raise seems inevitable. (10Q)

- Ascent Solar (ASTI -9.2%) announces it has closed the second tranche of its Series A preferred stock offering. The maker of solar-powered accessories raised $3M on the sale of 375K preferred shares and 1.31M warrants exercisable at $0.90/share.
- Ascent expects to raise another $2M in a third tranche set to close in August.
- Previous: the company raised $1M in June from a private Asian investor in the first tranche of its Series A round. The total commitment from the three tranches is expected to be $6M. Ascent is issuing 7.5M preferred shares with a conversion option to common stock at a price of $0.80/share, and 2.625M 3-year warrants exercisable at $0.90/share.
- In conjunction to the closing of its capital raise, the company has filed to withdraw (Form RW) its previous common stock shelf registration, which proposed to offer up to 15.4M shares and raise $11.4M.
- Ascent shares are swooning in sympathy with First Solar and SunEdison, which are tanking following Q2 misses.

- First Solar (FSLR -13.5%) is tanking following its Q2 miss and light 2013 guidance. Shares still +31% YTD and +253% from their June '12 low.
- No downgrades have come in yet. Analysts are largely defending the company, talking up the GE deal and focusing on the impact of project sale timings on Q2 results.
- Solar peers continue to dive (TAN -8.1%) thanks to First Solar and SunEdison's (I, II) results and guidance. SPWR -12.4%. TSL -7.5%. ASTI -7.1%. SCTY -5.5%. CSIQ -7.8%. SOL -9%. JASO -6.8%. LDK -6.5%.
- First Solar's Q2 module production totaled 388.9MW, +5% Q/Q and Y/Y. Its total cost/watt fell $0.02 Q/Q and $0.05 Y/Y to $0.67. 2013 guidance is for a cost of $0.63-$0.66.
- Capacity utilization is at 75%, flat Q/Q and +1200 bps Y/Y. Conversion efficiency +10 bps Q/Q and +40 bps Y/Y to 13%. 2013 lead-line exit guidance is at 14%.
- Expected future module shipments stand at 2.2GW, down from 2.6GW at the end of 2012 (900MW in YTD shipments offsetting 500MW in new bookings). Expected future revenue at $7.6B vs. $8B at end of 2012.

Keep It Holy is a moral understanding of people of faith when describing the Sabbath Day. It comes from Exodus 20:8. Keep It Holy can also be used to remind someone to abstain from activities that are immoral or sinful. Example: If you go to the dance no Twerking,Keep it Holy!
oh look, Christianity and racism and mysogyny at the same time.
Not like you can be a christian and twerk.
Not like woman's body's aren't sexualized are are therefore made sinful
Not like women are taking massive L's for the sake of promoting Christian gear.

The very moment we receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we instantly become a new creation. Our spirits are made alive in Him, the old passes away, and His peace fills our hearts. Of course, everything in your life doesn't change instantly. Some things do, but some things God will do in your life over time as you grow in your relationship with Him. The key is to keep moving forward in your spiritual journey one step at a time. Keep your eyes forward and don't get stuck in the past.
Today, remember, God is at work in your life. You may not be where you want to be. You may have made some mistakes or had some setbacks. But remember, in Him, you are the righteousness of God. In Him, you are new. In Him is everything you need to have victory in every area of your life!

Pour in the support, and keep up the positivity.
Marcus Books, the legendary (one of the oldest Black owned Book stores in the entire US) is in trouble of closure. First started in SF, then opening a branch in Oakland…I along with countless young people of all races trekked to this store, probably first as a child with my mother, then as a college student at SFSU studying Egyptology among other things, and now as a parent/adult when looking for Black picture books. Reblog this so the petition gets signed, but note that places like these are important landmarks of knowledge and self determination.
It should also be noted that Marcus Books is the only book store i know of (and i've called many) that has an Extensive collection of Childrens Books, Picture Books, and Comics featuring African and African American children.

A long time ago I went away to college. I left sunny So.Cal. for Idaho. In Idaho I found out that winter involved ALOT of ice. After a two full semesters of slipping and sliding, I finally tweaked my knee to the point of pain. The doctor diagnosed tendonitis and gave me some muscle relaxers and wrapped my knee and in a week I was good as new-almost. Ever since then, every once in awhile, I do something just right and something in my knee goes out and I am limping for a couple of days. On Saturday I was doing my Leslie Sansone workout and kicked in just the right way and actually felt my knee pop! I sat down for a minute rubbed my knee, felt okay and started working out again. OOOPS! I should probably have stopped working out, because yesterday I could barely walk on my bad knee. Every wrong move was painful. This is a major reason why I want to lose ALOT of weight. I am tired of my knee going out and it didn't used to go out as much when I weighed less. Today, my knee is feeling a little better. I don't think I will do the Tae Bo I was planning, I think I will go back and do the Leslie video again and stay low impact the whole time. I was very proud of myself on Saturday-I did the entire 5 miles!!! I've gotta remember though that exercise really is not supposed to hurt-the old adage "no pain, no gain" is wrong. Soreness and pain are not the same thing! I'll do strength today too, I'm going to skip squats and lunges and maybe work my legs tomorrow if my knee is back to normal. Okay, back to work time..."see" you all later!
My sister blogged today about fast food places using the sex angle to sell food. I am also ranting about fast food but for a different reason. Why do fast food places make it so difficult to make the right choice!!! Did you know that at McD's a 4 piece Chicken McNugget is a better food choice than the basic Hamburger? That is without dip of course. But still...Hamburgers have more calories, less fat-BUT some of the fat in the hamburgers is TRANS FAT and saturated fat-none of the fat in the nuggets is Trans and only 2 gram Sat., more sodium, and more sugar (alot more sugar-31 carbs (6 sugar) vs. 11 carbs (0 sugar). Even Subway, with their low fat sandwiches, serves those sandwiches on LOAVES of bread that up the carb and calorie count WAY higher than it needs to be. I am learning to eat at home and make my own food a lot more than I used to and it is fun and rewarding, but every once in a while I want to eat out and I want more than a salad when I do it. Don't even get me started on fast food salads (nutrient free iceberg lettuce, one low cal dressing choice with no flavor to go with the no calories, and on and on). Why is it so impossible to serve sandwiches on healthy bread (Arby's uses whole grain bread, but the slices are the size of life rafts!), serve imaginative salads using a variety of fresh vegetables and where on earth are these trans fats still coming from??? Come on people it is not that hard to serve nutritious food! And can we please make it easier to find out what the nutrients are? Looking at the paper on the tray after you ordered is not very helpful. I thought I was making a good choice with a grilled chicken sandwich, nope-I forgot about the 1/4 cup of mayo they throw on that baby instead of cooking the chicken with herbs or spices for flavor. Did you know that Applebee's won't even disclose their nutritional information? I checked their website and there is no way (for our area at least) to determine what a good choice at Applebee's would be! What is up with that!!! You can order Weight Watcher's items, but all they tell you is the point value. You cannot confirm independently what is in your food! I really want to be able to eat out occasionally and be able to make informed choices and be able to find a nutritious choice that still has plenty of flavor. Wish it wasn't so hard.
I am not a breakfast eater, it is true. I need to eat breakfast, this is also true. My sister reminded me of a long, long, long ago event where I didn't eat breakfast, didn't eat lunch, ate a donut for a snack and then went to a party (completely drug and alcohol free to the disbelief of my doctor) and passed out, splat, right on my face, in a bathing suit. Granted these were the days when I looked decent in a bathing suit, but still HOW EMBARASSING!! I wasn't dieting, I was just sooo busy that I didn't have time to eat that day, I was young, foolish and literally running from one event to the next that day. So here I am, about 20 years later, and what have I learned, apparently NOTHING. I still run from one event to the next, I am still soooo busy I often don't have time to eat. I'll miss breakfast and lunch and eat and orange while I am waiting for kindergarten to let out. As a "sparker" I know eating properly is important to being healthy and this means eating properly throughout the day. But, when do I find the time!!! I know that there is always time for what is important. I find the time to exercise, I find the time to do laundry, I find the time to read a book. Usually all these things are done after the kids are in bed. So, here's my plan. Tonight there is no food in the house (at least not for me-I have some kid appropriate meals lying around-sad, but true) so I will make some oatmeal for breakfast for me. Then, tomorrow when I go shopping I am stocking up on things I can have for breakfast and lunch that can be prepared ahead so that the night before, after the kids are in bed, I can put together my breakfast and lunch and eat like I should. I had this idea before and even blogged about it I just "got busy" and never put it into action. One idea I am anxious to try is breakfast smoothies using frozen or fresh fruit and yogurt. I can put the fruit into the blender and then in the fridge or freezer, as appropriate, and then add some low fat or greek yogurt, put it in the base the next morning and push the button-instant healthy breakfast. Lunch isn't quite as easy, but I do love cucumber sandwiches, alot of Americans say "EWWW disgusting", but I like them. I use sprouted wheat bread, a little bit of low fat cream cheese (1/2 oz.) and lots of cucumbers, sprinkled with a little black pepper. If I make that sandwich ahead of time I end up with a gooey, disgusting mash of bread. I could slice and pepper the cucumbers, weigh out the cream cheese and have it in a small container and then just assemble when ready for lunch. Anyways I am going to make a serious effort to do better at eating breakfast, a healthy, filling breakfast, so that cookies, chips, fries, take out sandwiches, et. al, will not tempt me!
I did better yesterday than I thought I would. I started out with the goal to do just one mile of Leslie Sansone, but once I got started I wasn't sore at all and I went on to do 3 miles! The bad news is, my husband baked cookies. He makes really good cookies-everyone thinks so-he is kind of known in his family for his cookies. The cookies were good though because they highlighted a chink in my weight loss armor-famished eating. If I am hungry I will eat anything in front of me. I guess yesterday turned out to be kind of busy. I had an orange for breakfast, cucumber salad for lunch and peaches for a snack. So by the time 4:00 rolled around and my husband pulled cookies fresh from the oven my willpower was non-existant. I ate 5 cookies without even blinking. Well, on the 5th cookie I started to feel guilty. I will have to work better from now on to eat throughout the day and have a real lunch, not sliced cucumbers with dill and vinegar (with sugar). More cardio today and strength-I better get moving!! (I am aiming to hit that mile 4 on Leslie Sansone-haven't gotten there yet, but I think today is the day!)
First a shout out to my sis-HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! The hike yesterday was awesome!! However, I have rediscovered muscles I had forgotten existed. Parts of me are sore that I really would not think would be. That is okay. Sore means I used my body and pushed it further than it has gone in a while. I am ready to take that hike again in three weeks and see how my fitter muscles are going to handle the hike this time. I have to say thanks to my sister too. She was definately our cheerleader yesterday. I called her Jillian (Michaels) a couple of times, but it was definately meant as a compliment. She is my own personal Jillian. When I was not doing Sparkpeople she was the one who kept at me until I got back to doing the right thing. She is an awesome cheerleader! Today's exercise plan has changed a little, but not too much, the best way to unkink these muscles of mine is gentle exercise. So, Leslie Sansone is up for cardio today. I will go one mile for sure and if my muscles are enjoying the walk I will go further again. That will be followed later today with yoga. Some gentle stretching to relax and lengthen the muscles that have been worked. And LOTS and LOTS of water. Fluids to help refresh the worked muscles. Sore, but happy! Didn't see the line about "Warning:Difficult Trail" until the very end. Glad I didn't it was difficult but worth it!

The CBO said that over 10 years the health care law was likely to reduce compensation nationally by 1 percentage point. That's a "proportionally smaller" effect than the fall in hours worked.
The impact on hours worked is likely to come further out in the decade, and in the near term the health care revamp will be a "boost to demand for goods and services," CBO Director Douglas Elmendorf said. That translates into more jobs, though neither he nor the White House could say how many.
The subsidies for health insurance "will both stimulate demand for health care services and allow low-income households to redirect some of the funds that they would have spent on that care toward the purchase of other goods and services — thereby increasing overall demand," the CBO report said. "That increase in overall demand while the economy remains somewhat weak will induce some employers to hire more workers or increase the hours of current employees during that period."
Poor and middle-income workers have a greater propensity to spend, with economic research showing that these groups save very little.
The estimated effects of the Affordable Care Act on employment are an update on a 2011 report in which the CBO calculated that workers would put in reduced hours that added up to the equivalent of 800,000 jobs. The changes reflect more information obtained as the law is being implemented. A better read on the impact of the massive health care revamp is likely to come around 2016, Elmendorf said.
The updated estimates "would not reverse the original conclusion" by the CBO that repealing the health care law would make deficits worse over the next 10 years, Elmendorf said.
Also, the CBO expects 1 million fewer people than once predicted — 6 million — to gain coverage through marketplaces this year, because of major technical problems with the October debut of the federal website HealthCare.gov.
The number of people likely to be insured through the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion likewise has been downsized, from 9 million to 8 million this year.
About 5 million people are expected to receive subsidies to help purchase marketplace coverage this year, rising to nearly 19 million in 2016.
The CBO estimates that subsidies will cost $15 billion this year, rising to $143 billion by 2024.
The CBO also said it projected a federal budget deficit of $514 billion for fiscal 2014, after a peak of $1.4 trillion in fiscal 2009.

i will assess activity situations on the tenth. from the way it looks to me, with both of you missing several opportunities to complete the match, it will be decided by coinflip rather than activity.
I think you're looking for the host of NU Grandslam, not Shaking Up RU, judging by your VMs with him >.> Looks like that tourney's still on, so go battle him or talk to Zebraiken ^.^
Soo, yes the time and the day you mentionned looks fine to me. Don't hesitate to PM me again when we'll be supposed to play, to give me the server where you'll want to play (mention the PO version (1 or 2) as well).
Yes it should be fine ? Do you know how to use IRC ? That'd make things really easier to meet each other.

Rockstar lists PC developer job for 'latest titles'
by Steve Watts, shacknews.com, Jul 9, 2013 11:35AM PDT
Rockstar has been mostly quiet about the possibility of putting Grand Theft Auto 5 on PC, so far only saying that it is being considered. But a job listing appears the studio may be moving ahead with port plans.
A now-pulled listing for Rockstar Leeds caught by PC Gamer sought a graphics programmer to help bring its "latest titles to the PC platform." It says, "Working together with the other Rockstar studios, you will be responsible for maintaining the studio's uncompromising quality bar, delivering the highest quality PC experience possible." It also talks about work on next-generation games. The Leeds Career page still lists some openings, but none of them mention PC.
As the report notes, Rockstar's only recent released or announced games that haven't made it to PC yet are GTA5 and Red Dead Redemption. It's possible Rockstar is finally getting around to porting the three-year-old western action game, but Grand Theft Auto seems more likely. It's also notable that Leeds was in charge of the LA Noire port, so it has some history with bringing over open world games.
PC fans have been demanding a port since the game was announced, and listings even appeared on retail sites. Rockstar itself has not confirmed the game for PC or next-generation platforms.
If you want to see a little more of Grand Theft Auto 5 in action, though, you can check out today's newly released gameplay trailer.

Disappointment Over Wii Gift Ends in Christmas Brawl
by Nick Breckon, Dec 29, 2008 9:56am PSTA couple in Portsmouth, New Hampshire were arrested on Christmas Day when disappointment over the gifting of a Wii led to an open brawl.
Heath Blom, 26, only wanted a $1,000 RC airplane from his grandparents for Christmas. Denied his toy plane, he instead received a Wii console from his girlfriend Randi Young.
Clearly familiar with the Wii's underwhelming 2008 software lineup, Young "disparaged the Wii, angering his girlfriend," according to WCVB. The verbal argument soon turned to blows.
"She punched me in the eye," said Blom. "She punched me three times. I said 'That's it.' And I pulled her hair."
"He dragged me down two flights of stairs, by the hair," added Young. "This was the worst Christmas ever."
When asked for comment, Shigeru Miyamoto explained that Wii Music is "more interesting than a videogame."

These cookies spread and are lacy to look at with a slight praline taste. I've always made them flat, but when you take them out of the oven you can roll them around a wooden spoon handle and when hard, dip the tip in chocolate.
2/3 C all purpose flour
½ tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda
½ C rolled oats
1 ½ sticks softened unsalted butter at room temperature
2/3 C granulated sugar
2/3 C light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 C pecan pieces
2/3 C dehydrated cranberries (Craisins)
Mix together in a small bowl flour, salt and baking soda. Stir in oats. In a medium bowl, cream butter with a mixer until light and fluffy. Add both sugars and cream together. Add egg and mix. Beat in vanilla. Fold in the flour mixture. Take the beaters out and hand mix in pecans and cranberries. Form into 1" balls and place on parchment paper on top of a cookie sheet. These do spread so keep them 2.5 to 3" apart. Bake in a 350 oven till golden brown and lacy about 7 to 8 minutes.

Book Description:Making Documentary Films and Reality Videos is the perfect text for students of filmmaking who would like to make a documentary. Barry Hampe, who has made more than 150 documentary films and videos, traces the two main approaches to documentary--recording behavior and re-creating past events—and shows students how to do both effectively. Covering all the steps, from conceptualization to completion, the book includes chapters on visual evidence; documentary ethics; why reality is not enough; budgeting; and casting, crew, and equipment selection.

We're surprised she had time for this photoshoot being that her schedule is so fake busy…
Crime Mob's Diamond To Appear In New Black Men's Magazine
Former Crime Mob rapper Diamond is trying her best to be relevant, and if that means that we get a couple of nice pics of her in her underwear than we support her efforts. That said, we never want to hear her music OR see her on TV…unless she leaks a freaky-flick.
The folks at Black Men's Magazine did Miss "32 Flavors" a solid by asking her to pose her curvy cakes for their esteemed publication.
Hit the flip to see the pics.
