Regret, disappointment and the endowment effect
The endowment effect is the finding that minimum selling prices for a particular good exceed maximum buying prices. We build on and extend previous research showing that emotions influence the endowment effect, and reveal that the two negatively valenced decision-related emotions, regret and disappointment, have distinct effects on the valuation of an object. We found that an induction of regret eliminates the classic endowment effect, whereas an induction of disappointment reverses it. The findings demonstrate the necessity of a specific emotion approach to understand the effects on decision making.Download Info

Franklin Lakes principal drops lawsuit, reapplies for job
Rotante filed the lawsuit in state Superior Court in October and in a press release in November said he had been forced out of his position by Romano.
In a press release issued late Friday, Feb. 15, the school district stated that the board and Romano were satisfied that litigation had come to an end.
"The board and the administration have set forth an ambitious agenda of educational priorities for this school year, which includes the search and selection of a new principal for the Woodside Avenue School," according to the press release.
Board president Susan McGowan referred to the press release when contacted. Calls to board attorney Stephen Fogarty were not returned.
Before the separation agreement was reached, the Franklin Lakes Education Association had filed a grievance against Rotante.
A letter sent by FLEA president Donna Luciano to Woodside teachers in June said complaints against Rotante included "not keeping appointments, yelling and intimidation of staff, and not adhering to the district's policies on observations and evaluations."
Since the separation agreement was signed, the school district has been recruiting for a new principal. The first search yielded 79 applicants, but after narrowing the field to two and conducting personal interviews, Romano decided to advertise the position again.
In an email sent to district parents Jan. 20, Romano said that while the district discovered a "superstar" internal candidate during the search, he or she lacked practical experience necessary for the position. Romano added that the district had time to conduct a second search.
The district has received 40 applications in its second recruiting effort, according to Romano.
"Last time, we didn't have a whole lot of certified experienced assistant principals, let alone principals," Romano said. "This time we actually have more in the pool."

Unfortunately, Airport Extreme VPN is not possible directly through the router itself, as it does not support VPN client. The only way around this problem, is to install third party software that will run as the VPN host on one of the computers inside the network. The AirPort Extreme unit will have to be configured, for forwarding ports that are required by the particular computer for the VPN connection. One such free application is VPN Activator from Neptuning. In fact, this application will only provide you with a GUI for the VPN server hidden in the client OS of Mac OSX. With this, you will be able to configure and control PPTP and L2TP types of VPN on your Mac.
Best VPN Service For Airport Extreme
If you don't vpn account yet. You have to sign up one first. We have list the top vpn services for you below. You won't regret.

Configuring Airport Utility
For PPTP VPN
If you are connecting with PPTP, you have to configure Airport Extreme for forwarding TCP 1723 port to your computer. For this, open the page for Airport Utility and click on the "Advanced" button, and choose Port Mapping. Now click on the "+" icon, which will bring up the Port Mapping Setup Assistant. In the "Public TCP Port(s)" and "Private TCP Port(s)" fields, fill in 1723. In the "Private IP Address" field, fill in your Mac's IP address. Click on Continue, and in the next page fill in PPTP in the Description field, and click "Done".
For L2TP VPN
When you want to connect with L2TP, you need to configure Airport Utility for forwarding Ports UDP 4500, 1701 and 500 to the Mac. Access the Port Mapping Setup Assistant page as before, and in the fields "Public UDP Port(s)" and "Private UDP Port(s)" fill in 4500, 1701, 500. Press Continue, and in the Description field fill in L2TP, and press "Done".
Activating Airport Extreme VPN
Download "VPN Activator" and run the application. In the "IP Address Range", you will have to fill in the range of subnet addresses connected with your Mac's IP address. For example if the IP address of your Mac is 126.96.36.199/24 subnet, then you can have a range of 220.127.116.11 to 188.8.131.52. Next, fill in the address of your preferred DNS server. Fill in your User Name, Password, and VPN Shared Secret. Clicking on the "ON" button will save this configuration, and your designated Mac is now ready as a VPN server.
Airport Extreme VPN has to be a roundabout method, as the base station can only act as a pass through device for VPN. It is neither an end-point solution nor a VPN server. Airport Extreme is also known to block attempts of accessing private networks. In such cases, first check for problems in modem configuration, and see if there are any blocks by the ISP. If everything is fine, you will have to configure Airport Extreme and open up certain ports. If you are using L2TP IPSec then open UDP 500 port for allowing IKE (Internet Key Exchange). For allowing traffic through only L2TP, open up UDP 1701 port. The procedure will be similar to what was shown, using Airport Utility.
Get Around With DD-WRT Router
You can get around to make your Airport Extreme to work with vpn by using dd-wrt vpn router or vpn router and make the internet access through it. This will make the process looks like this
Apple Airport Extreme -> VPN router -> AppleTV, IPad, Iphone, Laptop
You can choose what your devices should connect to when you need vpn or not. If you need vpn connection then let your devices connect to vpn router. If you don't need vpn, then connect to Airport Extreme directly.

While neither Scholes nor Sir Alex will feature in the Reds' bid to retain the title and emboss it with further silverware next term, Robin is eagerly anticipating the assault on 2013/14 under new manager David Moyes.
"That's what this club is about; we always bounce back," he said. "Even this year we came from behind many times and I think only three occasions we didn't come back, so this club is about comebacks.
"This club will always be here and this club will always fight for trophies."

Reopened KC school to focus on preschoolers
The Kansas City school district is reopening a closed school as part of an effort to ensure students are prepared for kindergarten.
Classes will begin Tuesday at the Woodland Early Learning Community Schools. It will serve about 260 3- and 4-year-old students from the northeast part of the district. Students enrolled in early childhood programs at five other elementary schools will be assigned to Woodland.
Several community groups will be involved with the school. They include the Kansas City Public Library and a center that provides social services and mental health counseling.
The district plans to open other early learning schools in the midtown and southern part of the district in the next two school years.

The fly movement is not a mass builder but a mass polishing movement. If you want mass it involves the use of heavy compound chest movements. My .02
i have no calbe crossover fly at my home gym and i would like to know if it will make any different in less muscle growth because i do dumbbell fly instead of the cable crossover fly , what do u say guys the dumbbel fly effective as the crossover for building mass or not ?
The fly movement is not a mass builder but a mass polishing movement. If you want mass it involves the use of heavy compound chest movements. My .02
Always open light. Its not what you open with, its what you finish with. Louie Simmons
ppl say u cant shape muscle ,so what do u mean on polishing ?
anyway do u think it will make any different if i will do dumbbell fly instead of cable fly ?
By polishing I mean that you can bring out some striations and definition if you are lean enough for that effect(competing, etc). I have never done any fly movements but the cable type to me would be better because of the full range tension.
Always open light. Its not what you open with, its what you finish with. Louie Simmons
u cant bring some striations and definition to muscle it is all genetic man ,
i have asked so many ppl everyone told me that u can make your chest bigger or smaller or make the upper chest more dominate but u cant change anything else or bring some defination it is myth
With that out of the way...the heavier you can lift, the bigger you will get. Flys aren't going to let you move heavy weight.
Always open light. Its not what you open with, its what you finish with. Louie Simmons
It's like we said about legs in your other thread. Use a barbell for mass.
Training log:
well the pec major is capable of producing X amount of force. no matter what movement you are doing and with what implements. your muscles do not know the difference.
the bench uses many other muscles to move the bar so the force produced by the pec major is only part of the total force applied to move the bar. same with the flies, the pecs are only part of the muscles used and therefore part of the total force applied to the bar. add in the fact that the force produced by the muscle is not directly translated to the movement of of the resistance and it would be hard to say how much force the pec does actually produce to move the weight.
it can be estimated but that is besides the point. the point of my post was that one could cause the pecs to produce the same force on flies and on bench press. but the weights used will be different. not due to the pecs doing less but the total force and vecotr applied to moving the weight.
in other words your flim flammery myth that an exercise not as good due to it not using as heavy of a weight is just that. i wont even go into the myth of striation at this point as it just gets even simpler and that may be too much.
does that make sense?
you can call me "ozzie" for short.
How about this then:
Poundage work load moved
3 sets of 8 reps at 225 lbs BB bench press = 5400 lbs of weight moved
3 sets of 8 reps at 15 lbs DB flys = 360 lbs of weight moved
You tell me that your pecs won't know the difference. On another note, lighten up on the post aggression champ.
Always open light. Its not what you open with, its what you finish with. Louie Simmons
thats is you are only concerned about the weight moved. but we are talking about the pecs. did you measure the force output of the pecs? the pecs function as a 1st class lever. here is a quick tutorial:
the forearms are pulled forward in the bench via a second class lever. as the angles of effort and load force change the force output to the bar changes as to what is applied for the bench.
when doing fly's the triceps are not involved and the lever arms and thus the force variables change. basically the distance from the fulcrum to the effort force increases by as much 2 fold. that changes the effort force needed by the pecs to move the lever (arm).
the pecs can be producing the same amount of force but the effort force is different which shows by the varying of weight on the bar that can be moved. this force is a culmination of the varying forces created by the muscles at varying angles, or the resolution of forces. here is a quick tutorial:
you can see that the force produced by the pecs are angled before being applied to the movements you and i have described. it does not mean that the force produced is less or more in either more but that the resultant force is different.
does that make sense?
you can call me "ozzie" for short.
I love the science behind what makes things tick but real world facts are what I really like. Real world: A person doing BB bench will get bigger, and stronger, faster than a person doing flys. I hope the OP realizes this. If he wants a pump movement at the end of his compound work with BBs then go to it.
Always open light. Its not what you open with, its what you finish with. Louie Simmons
I prefer the crossover because I get constant tension throughout the movement, whereas I lose tension during the peak contraction phase of dumbbell flyes. Remember to internally rotate your shoulders at the end of the fly movement regardless
PES - Get Enhanced
The above is my own opinion and does not reflect the opinion of PES
your right but my question is if it's so much important that it can make your chest bigger or smaller
Look up Herschel Walker's training routine and then answer your own question. The only thing getting in the way of your gains is your own mind.
Training log:
nice he do alot of sit up and push up this is,
he is really huge
but he has small chest compare to the whole body
A common theme in your threads is that you seem to have your mind made up and want to contradict every bit of advice given you.
If that is the case, fine, go your way and God be with you.
To be 1000% clear, you do not NEED cable crossovers or leg extensions, or any of the other isolation exercises you seem obsessed with.
yhe u right guys ,
just bought all these equimpment for my home gym and this is my habbit and i want it to be perfect ,
ty for help just had to know i have what i need for getting max results .

Dhamra to set up container, LN...

Dhamra to set up container, LNG terminals worth over Rs.3,000 crore
Thursday, 09 February 2012 | 00:00
Dhamra Port Co. Ltd, the firm that runs Dhamra port in Orrisa's Bhadrak district, plans to set up terminals for handling liquefied natural gas (LNG) and containers at the port to tap the growing demand for these, at least two people familiar with the plan said.
The port is equally owned by Larsen and Toubro Ltd and Tata Steel Ltd.
Dhamra port will set up the two terminals with the help of strategic investors who will invest at least Rs.3,000 crore— Rs.2,000 crore for a 2.5 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) LNG regasification facility and about Rs.1,000 crore for a container terminal.
"In a meeting held on 30 January, the board of Dhamra Port Co. gave in-principle approval to the management to proceed and sign memorandum of understandings with Indian Oil Corp. Ltd (IOC) and APM Terminals Management BV for setting up the LNG and container terminals," one of the persons mentioned earlier, a company executive, said on condition of anonymity because the discussions are confidential.
State-run oil refiner IOC had planned to set up a 5 mtpa LNG regasification terminal at Union government-controlled Ennore port in Tamil Nadu. This proposal has remained on paper for close to a decade.
APM Terminals, a unit of Danish shipping and energy giant AP Moller-Maersk Group A/S, is the world's third biggest container port operator. The group also operates Maersk Line, the world's largest container shipping company.
The container terminal will have a capacity to load up to 500,000 standard containers a year initially, and can be scaled to handle one million standard containers, depending on demand.
Santosh Kumar Mohapatra, chief executive of Dhamra Port, did not respond to an email sent on 1 February seeking details of the plan on the LNG and container terminals.
"APM Terminals is continuing discussions with the Dhamra port authorities," a spokesperson for the firm based in the Hague, Netherlands, said in an emailed response, without elaborating.
Over the past few years, container traffic at India's ports has been expanding at an average 15% a year. At this rate, container traffic is estimated to reach 38.91 million standard containers by 2020, up from about nine million now, according to a 10-year plan unveiled by the shipping ministry in January 2011. The existing capacity is for 11.81 million standard containers.
Dhamra port was awarded the rights by the Orissa government in 2004 to develop and operate a port that can load up to 109 million tonnes (mt) of various cargo a year from 13 berths.
The Rs.2,460 crore first phase of the port, with a capacity to load 27 mt of cargo, started commercial operations in May from two fully mechanized berths capable of handling coking coal, steam/thermal coal, limestone and iron ore. Being a port outside Union government control, Dhamra is free to set its own rates. Rates at Union government-controlled ports are set by the Tariff Authority for Major Ports.
India currently has an LNG import capacity of 13.5 mtpa through two terminals.
Petronet LNG Ltd, partly owned by GAIL (India) Ltd, IOC and refiner Bharat Petroleum Corp. Ltd, runs an LNG receiving and regasification terminal at Dahej in Gujarat with a capacity of 10 mtpa, equivalent to 40 million standard cu. m per day (mscmd) of natural gas. A joint venture of Shell Gas BV and Total Gaz and Electricite runs an LNG terminal of 3.5 mtpa capacity at Hazira, also in Gujarat.
Petronet is constructing a 5 mtpa LNG terminal at Kochi in Kerala that is expected to start operations in the third quarter of 2012. Another LNG terminal at Dabhol in Maharashtra with a capacity of 2.5 mtpa is likely to start in 2012.
India's gas demand is expected to reach 381 mscmd by 2015, according to government estimates. Existing gas supply in the country is about 202.9 mscmd.

What is the web design?
Some persons say this is the making of the digital environments which encourage and facilitate the activity of human, adopt and reflect the individual content and voices, and change elegantly over the time while all the time retaining the identity.
The other persons say this is utilized as the typical term to show the many different works involved in making the web page. A web consists of many pages, presenting the information using different types of the technologies and connected together known as the hyperlinks. There're the two basic things to a web design discovered online. First is the presentation which a user interacts with, normally visually, while a second is the back end which comprises the information for the non human browsers.
The languages which are utilized are the hyper text that is known as HTML, this is the markup language, second is eXtensible Hyper Text; the HTML tells the browser how to really present the information as XHTML is a stricter version. And utilizing the both languages the designer of web is capable to inform the browser how the page of web should look. The HTML has the several variable things. To start with, not approximately all the browsers really interpret the HTML language, this may look complete different in the other. While the designers of graphic understand exactly how big piece of the paper they're printing on will really be, the person should account for the different sizes of monitor, different settings of the display, and browsers for the non sighted surfers. And combined these things sometime leave to stressed incorporate dynamism to make the page very beautiful on the range of the sizes of browser, while making the layout static to allow for use of the images and the other essentially fixed size parts

Ependymomas are common childhood brain tumors, but little is known about their underlying biology. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Witt et al. present that posterior fossa ependymomas comprise two distinct molecular subtypes, each with unique gene expression signatures, different levels of genomic instability, and different prognosis.

A quick observation after looking at some sites referenced in this thread:
Quality content is not the same things as usable content. Do you have any stumbling blocks that could cause visitor to leave your website and continue searching on competitor sites?
Is your site hard to use? If you're not doing extensive split testing or other behavioral testing you really can't answer that question.
I have found that most websites that are not testing user behavior are under-performing. Often, dramatically. Averaging 6 pages/visit may look great, but if other sites are running 9 or more then your 6 is actually not good at all.
There have been so many good responses in this thread. The answers to running successful EMD sites are here. Just don't make any sudden moves. It's like when the cops show up and someone suddenly bolts - they may not have done anything wrong, but they sure *look* suspicious.

So let's talk a little about Traffic Flow Reporting and Analysis
Posted by: Ryan Shopp
Next up, I plan to dig into this sector a little deeper (as always from a purely data center centric perspective – aka no End-User Monitoring that requires a desktop agent).
The priority for these products is to provide an end-to-end service/application perspective on traffic performance and capacity. The goals; help quickly troubleshoot from an application or end-point perspective OR better understand what/where traffic levels are going across the infrastructure. All this from a network-centric control point (no loading of agents on a server or client – since the network team doesn't own the responsibility for those).
So on the surface I see two main categories (each has subcategories that I'll dig into during follow-up posts)
Flow Reporting-centric (these vendors gather Cisco NetFlow, J-flow, sFlow from infrastructure agents and report in various ways)
- Netscout, Solarwinds, CA eHealth, NetQoS, Mazu Networks, Xangati, InfoVista, Opnet, Lancope, Packet Design, Q1 Labs. Alcatel-Lucent VitaNet, HP Performance Insight – to name a few
Flow Self-Collection & Reporting (these vendors span/tap actual traffic flows and report in various ways)
- NetQoS, Mazu Networks, InfoVista (through acquisition of Accellent), Lancope, CA Wily, Q1 Labs, Compuware – to name a few
I quickly notice now that many of the vendors actually support both – which I assume is about flexibility as some customers don't have NetFlow type capabilities enabled or don't wish to enabling them for a variety of reasons.
So my first set of questions/experiences I'm now reading/researching about are:
1) What are the key benefits to going the self-collection route over the Reporting only route? Unique metrics? Scalability? Limitations around NetFlow (e.g., Performance)
2) When it comes to reporting only using Netflow, etc – what metrics are being used these days.
I remember first integrating and being able to report on RMON2 probes and early Cisco NetFlow data back in 2001 within the Lucent VitalNet product…so where are things 6 years later now that NetFlow is much more pervasive and I'm sure improved.
My assumption on some of these are as follows (vendors & users please leave comments to help educate me for my follow-up posts),
When it comes to reporting, there are historical/capacity centric reports & their are real-time/troubleshooting centric views. My assumption (again, currently an assumption..I haven't read to much on this topic yet) is most the reporting centric vendors (that don't also offer their own passive flow monitoring capability) are focused more on those historical/capacity reports (e.g., eHealth, Solarwinds, InfoVista). These reports are how much data is going where and what type of data is it over a day/week/month etc. Once this data is archived, they slide & dice in a variety of ways. But, basically it's about looking at it for trends over time.
Now, when it comes to real-time, since so much data is coming in so quickly their needs to be extra intelligence/automation helping out – building a "what looks normal" model and then focusing on identifying and then alerting someone when something "odd" is noted. Of course, they need to store/report on much of the same data as the historic/capacity centric products as they build credibility and trust in their users.
So when it comes down to it..much of the same data is being used for 2 unique users…one focused on planning improvements and the other focused on quickly resolving issues. So now that I've finished writing this post a better way to probably organize the field of play is not by technology (NetFlow vs. Self-Collect) but by usage. I'll read some more and do that next time.
Another angle to ponder on this topic will be around the WAN acceleration/optimization vendors…but again, for another day.

Native of the western United States and likely entered Florida both from natural range expansion and human introductions. Introductions have occurred on numerous occasions since at least 1925, primarily for hunting with dogs. Well established in northwest Florida by the 1970s, and breeding populations were present in south-central Florida by the 1990s. Can be an agricultural pest, upon vegetables as well as livestock, and can prey upon numerous native species. Attempts to control coyote populations on a large scale have not been successful. Found in all counties except Dade and Monroe in 2000 (Main and Coates 2000).

Process-Based DAM Perspective Sharpens Enterprise Edge
Process-Based DAM Perspective Sharpens Enterprise Edge

Posted 2004-11-29
A fully digital approach can tie processes together.
Youve gone as far as youre going to go in your organization by "building bit buckets." That was the admonition of Michael Moon, president and CEO of Gistics, when addressing an attentive ballroom full of content creators and managers in Los Angeles earlier this month. On the plus side, Moon continued, there are millions of dollars to be saved, and a huge competitive advantage to be gained, by adopting a process-based perspective on DAM (digital asset management). Not digital management of assets, but management of digital assetsand, yes, those are two different things.
Ive been talking for years with IT professionals about migrating their own asset management systems, moving from manual inventories and bar-code tags to network-based counting of devices. Thats not the kind of digital asset management I mean here. Im talking instead about the management of informational assets, ranging from raw financial and sales data to the most polished imagery and video sequences.
Right now, Moon told his audience at the Henry Stewart DAM Conference, the connections between sources and uses of information are a costly tangle of sneakernet trails. He followed, for example, the path of key product information in one organization from the Quark file of the product brochurethe first thing createdthrough different stages of transport and conversion to get that information to the Web or into direct mail or other uses. There were nine derived products, he found, each repeating its own odyssey with every product change. Moon told the audience how he asked, "Why dont you start with an XML file, then publish to Quark and to everything else from that single source?" The response: "You can do that?" Dont laugh, unless youre certain that this conversation did not take place in your own organization.
The major challenge, said Moon, is not in acquiring, or even deploying, technology but in getting people to admit how bad their present situation really is. In one case, he found that the process of proofreading an illustrated catalog involved making several successive print runs, each of only a few dozen copies, to be manually reviewed and marked up. Only when Moon put this process into a single diagram and on one sheet of paper did he get a response from the senior manager involved, who said, "Thats going to change by next week." "Why not this week?" countered Moon. "Because, first, the guy who did it this way needs to find another job," the manager replied. When hundreds of thousands of dollars are being wasted putting ink on dead trees, said Moon, people react with energy as soon as they realize that they dont have to put up with that. I was struck, in particular, by one measure that Moon offered as to why a drawing deserves to be called an "asset" rather than "content." The engineering drawings that define a product such as a Boeing 777, Moon observed, each represent tens of thousands of dollars of enterprise value by the time theyve been internally approved and FAA-certified. Holding up a $20 bill, Moon said, "Why do we call one of these an asset and call the other content? Theyre both ink on dead trees that yield income." Id also like to share Moons vision of how a fully digital approach can tie processes together. Advertisers and catalog sales companies, he said, spend time and money manually marking up their ads and their catalog pages with sales data to see which placements and treatments are selling most effectively. Theres no reason, he observed, why you shouldnt be able to look at a catalog page on your screen and see that kind of analytic data overlaid on it in real timewithout its being touched by human hands. I can easily imagine the same kind of integration for maintenance data back on my old turf at the Exxon chemical plant, or for other performance data in any other venue. Merely moving your present process to a digital platform is not really doing things digitally. Designing a modern process, then defining the data flows needed to make it work, is the course that must be followed today if you want to be a competitive organization tomorrow.

I recently turned 58 and for the first time in my life I feel as if there is no future ahead for me. I've written two books but I get no income from either. I think about a lot of things I should do to promote the books but never do anything because I hear my voice saying....what's the point!
I am in perfect health. I exercise regularly and eat to enhance my health. That's why I don't understand the reason for my emotional lethargy.
I want to reinvent my life. I would like to find a job helping others and one that allows me to travel. I believe that this may get me out of the boredom of writing at home (something that is not happening anymore). Frankly I don't know where to begin to accomplish the goal of finding work that enables me to travel, earn a living and have a purpose. I think I would make a great personal assistant because I have a lot of administrative and organizational skills and years of experience. I also have a degree in business administration and management and certification in Hotel Management. My first book is about Feng Shui and I was a public speaker and consultant for a period when I was motivated and promoting the book.
Can anyone relate and has any advice for the steps I could take to reinvent myself so that this third phase of my life has purpose and meaning. I am basically feeling apathetic and a little bit hopeless?

The Witcher Enhanced Edition: Director's Cut -- $10 on STEAM (50% off!)
Witcher 2 looks great... however I haven't even got a chance to finish this one yet!
I played for a little while, but the combat was awkward for me, so I gave up. I will probably try to finish this soon before the second one is out because I keep on hearing good comments about this one. |
The Witcher has a bit of a learning curve when it comes to controls, but once you have it down, it's very satisfying.
Also, this game is awesome, worth 5x this easily. I'm Commander Howdy Doody and this is my favorite thread on Slickdeals.
The Hank Hill Deal: Because I like you, I'm going to let you have it for sticker price, not a penny more. "I hate that only gay men can wave with both hands. It's fun." - Daniel Tosh Follow me on The Twitter [twitter.com] |
Wish I had time to play any of them.... |
Amazing game. The combat, once you're proficient, quickly scales up in complexity and satisfaction. You can toggle between different styles of attack for single vs group opponents, plain vs monstrous, speed vs strength, and defense / offense. The spell slinging strongly complements the gameplay and you can build your character to best suit your individual abilities.
The storyline though is what I found most compelling. Decisions affect later events very strongly, and sometimes there's never a perfectly good decision. The gameworld is shot through with corruption and suffering. You don't play as a knight in shining armor, just one who still cares a little bit more than most. |

> Environmental management
The key objective of ecological efforts at Wilkhahn is to contribute to the long-term preservation of ecological balance as the basis of a liveable future and meaningful economic growth. These objectives are laid down in plant agreements on environmental protection.
Management systems
For Wilkhahn, environmental management, quality management and occupational safety are inextricably linked. That is why we have an integrated management system: all Wilkhahn sites work according to a uniform environmental management system that is validated at the Bad Münder site (Germany) in accordance with EMAS and certified in accordance with ISO 14001. Wilkhahn supports corresponding certification on the part of its suppliers. Wilkhahn's main production site as well as all European sales offices are certified in accordance with the quality management standard of ISO 9001. When selecting suppliers, Wilkhahn assigns considerable value to their using a comprehensive and functioning quality management system.
Production sites
Wilkhahn ranges are produced or assembled in Bad Münder (Germany), Castellon (Spain) and Sydney (Australia).
Water protection, waste management and energy
Water is becoming an increasingly important resource. Wilkhahn spares no effort to minimize water consumption in production and to ensure that water quality is not impaired. Due to the treatment of process water, the quantities of waste water requiring special supervision has been reduced by 80 per cent. The Wilkhahn waste management concept embraces sorting waste according to one-type materials, recycling and disposal of all fractions of waste resulting from production and administration. The newly erected co-generator for combining power and heat at the Bad Münder site is powered by renewable raw materials and from 2008 onwards it will ensure virtually CO2 neutral production.
Return of used products and re-use
Our responsibility does not stop at the end of the utilization phase of a product as we offer our customers extensive services for taking back and recycling used products. We guarantee that used products may be returned in their entirety. The chairs are dismounted at our plant, all components are sorted according to one-type materials and − if possible − are recycled. Due to the clear marking and identification of all materials, due to their nontoxicity and due to easy dismountability, we can today ensure that the components of a Wilkhahn product are returned to both decentral and local material and production cycles and are properly recycled and, if necessary, disposed of. This serves to reduce energy-intensive (and thus ecologically questionable) return transport over long distances.
Disassembly and recycling
All components used by Wilkhahn permit more or less non-destructive disassembly. All components weighing more than 150 g bear a material identification mark to ensure that materials can be sorted according to a single type. No material protecting agents or halogen-organic combinations are used that prevent subsequent recycling. This allows a large proportion to be recycled.
Returnable transport packaging
For Wilkhahn ranges, returnable transport packaging made from renewable raw materials is mainly used that can be reused, recycled or composted.
Environmental training and communication
"We promote the environmental awareness of our employees in both work and private contexts. We continuously improve the skills of our employees by providing information, training and involvement in ongoing environmental projects."
We regularly carry out internal audits for the purpose of checking and steering adherence to our environmental goals. The subject of environmental responsibility is also an integral part of the Wilkhahn-Aktuell, the German employees' magazine. We publish our knowledge, drawn from 20 years of protection of the environment and resources, in the form of numerous publications, on an international level too, and of lectures, for example, at universities.

The Samsung Portable 3D Blu-Ray Player may not be the best innovation to come along for home 3D technology, but it is certainly a step in the right direction. While the price tag of five bills is still a little much considering the machine's limitations, the release of the Samsung BD-C8000 is a sign that home viewing is about to change for the better. Enjoy all the great BD Live stuff like YouTube, Netflix, and VuDu, on this machine, but don't expect to watch a 3D movie on its 10.3-inch flip screen. To do that, you'll need a television that is 3D capable, and you'll need to connect the player to it.
Since Samsung owns 80% of the 3D market, chances are you will not only be signing over $450-500 for the machine, but you will also need one of their TVs, too. Pretty expensive for adding a third dimension, but if there is one thing we've learned about technology over the years, it's that prices always fall the longer something is out on the market. Keep your eyes on this, folks. Home entertainment is about to get really cool again.

smart up 135%, Sprinter up 29.5% For the Month; Total MBUSA at 25,508, up 13.1%
MONTVALE, N.J. - Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) today reported a record March with sales of 23,134 for its Mercedes-Benz models, a 7.7 % improvement over March 2011 leading to the highest first quarter volume on record with sales of 61,513, up 15.3%. Combined sales of Mercedes-Benz passenger vehicles, smart and Sprinter for the month totaled 25,508, up 13.1%, and for the year-to-date 66,906, up 19.5 %.
"With the combination of strong sales performance in our volume model lines and a whole new generation of Mercedes-Benz products in the pipeline, we are ideally positioned to take advantage of the strengthening market and take the brand to new places," said Steve Cannon, president and CEO of MBUSA.
Sales for the month of March were led by the C-, E-, and M-Class model lines. The sporty C-Class - the gateway to the Mercedes-Benz brand on the car side for younger and first-time Mercedes-Benz buyers - took the lead with sales of 6,342 and the 9th generation E-Class followed with sales of 5,570. MBUSA's top-selling SUV, the M-Class, rounded out the top three with sales of 4,070 up 45.8% compared to March 2011. Other strong performers were the company's popular new CLS four-door coupe which saw 242.9% growth and the SLK roadster which increased 179.3% over March 2011. The SLS AMG supercar retailed 123 for the month, up 20.6%.
On a year-to-date basis, top performers again were the C-Class with 18,107 (up 19.2%) the E-Class with 13,873 and the M-Class with 11,480 (up 59.4%).
Amidst rising gas prices, diesel sales increased to 1,601, up 55.6% over the same period last year (1,029) and up 65.4% for the year. On the other end of the spectrum, total AMG sales were 702, up 77.3% versus March 2011 (396) and up 62.2% for the year.
The company's smart brand continued five consecutive months of sales increases with March sales of 999 vehicles, a 135% jump for the month (compared to the 425 vehicles sold in March 2011). The March volume is the highest on record for smart since MBUSA assumed responsibility in July 2011 and brings the year-to-date volume to 2,264, up 79 percent.
On the van side, sales of Sprinter Vans also saw strong momentum in March with sales of 1,375 - up 29.5% over last year and up 18.1% on a year-to-date basis. Separately, through the Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned (MBCPO) program, MBUSA sold 6,994 vehicles in March; a -3.3% decrease when compared to March 2011 (sales of 7,236 vehicles). On a year-to-date basis, MBCPO sold 19,924 vehicles, an increase of 2.0% over the comparable period (with sales of 19,538).

The Vol Historian
Tennessee Men's Basketball
BATON ROUGE, La. - Tennessee's JaJuan Smith stole the game from LSU on Saturday afternoon.
The senior, battling the flu and a 100-plus degree temperature, stole the basketball from Marcus Thornton with 14 seconds left and scored on a breakaway layup with 11 seconds left in a 47-45 victory.
The Tigers came within a fraction of a second of forcing overtime, but replays showed Chris Johnson's dunk off an Alex Farrer miss came after time expired.
Smith's only basket of the game, however, was right on time.
"I told Coach, 'I think I've got one in me,' " said Smith, who played just 22 minutes before re-entering the game with 19 seconds left. "I hadn't done anything all night. I took a chance; I'm a risky player, I like to take chances.''
LSU (8-14, 1-7 SEC) was playing its first game under interim coach Butch Pierre. LSU fired John Brady on Friday.
Chris Lofton led No. 7 UT (21-2, 8-1) with 15 points and Tyler Smith added 12 in front of the Pete Maravich Assembly Center crowd of 10,165.
"We didn't deserve to win this game,'' Lofton said. "Like Coach (Bruce Pearl) said, we might be the most overrated team in the country.''
Pearl, who watched his Vols nearly squander a 12-point second-half lead, said he was pleased with the effort but not the execution.
"Because we're giving such a great effort on defense, turning over LSU 22 times and getting 22 offensive rebounds … we're resting on offense,'' Pearl said. "We had too many guys standing around watching Tyler and Chris and waiting for them to win the game for us offensively.''
Pearl made no secret of his displeasure in his post-game talk with the team; his voice could be heard through the arena's concrete walls.
"I wanted them to look at this like a loss,'' Pearl said. "You want to make progress; we want to get better. We won the game, but we didn't get any better.''
First things first, the Vols might want to try to get healthy.
In addition to Smith, whose illness forced the team to delay its travel to Baton Rouge, point guard Jordan Howell had missed the past two practices with an illness.
Lofton, who missed Thursday's practice while attending his grandmother's funeral in Maysville, Ky., was battling a challenge of his own - LSU defensive ace Garrett Temple.
"I just didn't want to force things today because he is such a great defender,'' said the 6-foot-2 Lofton, who had averaged 10 points in three previous meetings against LSU when guarded by the 6-6 Temple. "I tried to pick my spots.''
Other than JaJuan Smith's steal and layup in the closing seconds, Lofton's NBA-range 3-pointer with 3:37 remaining was UT's only field goal during the final 10 minutes.
A Tyler Smith 3-pointer with 10:08 remaining had boosted the lead to 42-32.
That's when LSU started its comeback, scoring off three consecutive put-back baskets to cut the lead to 42-38 with 7:34 remaining.
A Thornton drive with 3:55 left made it 42-40 and forced Pearl to call timeout and set up Lofton's 3-pointer.
"Tonight, if it wasn't drawn up, it wasn't going in,'' said Pearl, whose team shot a season-low 31.7 percent from the field. "Every basket was out of timeout, or a play-call, or a side-set. We just got nothing, very little out of continuity, very little out of the fast break.
"Their ability to block shots was a factor, and our inability to score around the basket was frustrating. Free-throw shooting is a terrific problem.''
The Tigers' nine blocked shots were the most by a UT opponent this season and the Vols' 4-of-15 (26.7 percent) effort from the free-throw line was easily the lowest of the year.
"I wouldn't consider it a moral victory,'' said Pierre, whose team tied the game at 45 on Johnson's three-point play with 1:15 remaining. "The guys gave tremendous effort holding this team to 47 points, which is their lowest total on the season.''
The 47 points is the second-lowest total of Pearl's three-year tenure with the Vols behind a 56-44 loss to Butler in last season's preseason NIT and the fewest points in a UT win since the Vols scored a 47-46 win over Kentucky in 1999.
The Vols return to action at 8 p.m. Wednesday when they put their 28-game home-court win streak against Arkansas (17-5, 6-2).
The Razorbacks and Kentucky are the only two teams to beat the Pearl-coached Vols in Thompson-Boling Arena, both emerging victorious in 2006.

Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance, Inc. (ARI)
December 20, 2013 Stock Price: 18.51
Rating: Sell
Company Summary: (Company website)
ABR is an externally-managed commercial mortgage real estate company that is taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT). The company originates, manages, and acquires performing senior and subordinate mortgage loans as well as commercial backed securities (CMBS). The company also holds investments in real estate property and other mortgage securities. There are currently 9 analysts that cover the firm.
"Our primary purpose is to create a diversified portfolio of performing commercial real estate mortgage loans and CMBS assets that will be held to maturity and which we expect will provide stable attractive cash flow yields for our stockholders." - ARI, Our Company.
Insider ownership is under 3%, and there have been no notable insider transactions recently. One large positive for the company is the huge transparency into the company's operations, with regards to numerous press releases and investor presentations, which give shareholders a good idea of what is happening. On a negative side, just like other MREITs, Apollo has refused to implement a share repurchase program. In my opinion no company can say their goal is shareholder returns when they refuse to initiate a buyback program with their price to book so low. Not to mention, they did a public offering back in March when they were trading between 80% and 90% of book. This is extremely destructive to shareholder value; I don't care what kind of pipeline you have. The nail in the coffin is that since then, the book value per share has only decreased, which is the same results as the public offering they issued last year.
Valuation: (Explanation of Graphs)
Depending on the book value reported in the fourth quarter earnings report, the company's share price could vary tremendously. With the recent uptrend in the REIT market in general since the announcement of fed tapering, ARI has been trending upward as well. This gives you a great opportunity to unload your shares. I foresee another decrease in book value being reported not to mention the possibility of another public offering.
So far the GAAP EPS hasn't been covering the dividends being paid out. It is important to note that GAAP earnings are not a good representation of taxable income, however it is a good sign of whether the company will be increasing or decreasing dividends. Also something to note, companies who continually do public offerings without increasing book value are probably using these secondary offerings to cover the dividends. As there is no difference between "general corporate purposes" and paying dividends.
Unless you get the opportunity to buy ARI shares at 75% of book for a short term speculation trade, stay out of the name. The company's blatant disregard for shareholder value infuriates me and I have never even owned the company's shares. This company is like so many others that are externally managed, trying to increase AUM to line their own pockets instead of trying to do the best thing for the shareholder. My rating is a Sell, which is the lowest rating.
Additional disclosure: These ratings are my opinion only and shouldn't be construed as advice to buy or sell securities. Recommendations don't take into account individual reader's investment risk or return objectives and constraints. They are for information purposes and you are encouraged to do your own research before trading any equities. All information here in this article is accurate to my knowledge.

We are all born helpless and needing attention to survive. We get attention by crying, which is just a surge of cortisol. We learn other ways of getting our needs met over time, but early experience teaches your brain that attention stops the bad feeling of cortisol. We don't learn this consciously in words. We learn it because experience connects neurons. Those connections last, so we expect attention to relieve distress.
When you reach puberty, your brain seeks attention for a new reason. Mating opportunity depends on the recongition of others. You are not trying to reproduce, but you have inherited a brain that releases happy chemicals when it sees reproductive opportunity. The hormones of puberty increase neuroplasticity, which mean teen experiences easily build neural pathways. No one consciously expects the world to resemble high school. But electricity in the brain flows the way water flows through pipes, finding the path of least resistance.
