Interestingly, this figure was achieved by merely 24 new launches that AsiaHedge recorded, barely one third of the number of 70 recorded new funds in H1 2010. Consequently, the average launch size has jumped up to $119 million in 2011 as compared to around $40 million in H1 2010.
These figures validate a number of trends we have been predicting for quite some time now, says Aradhna Dayal, the Hong Kong-based editor of AsiaHedge, the largest provider of dedicated hedge fund intelligence in the Asia-Pacific. The Asian new fund landscape continues to be reinvigorated, though the barriers of entry are the highest ever, resulting in only a handful of high-quality new managers being able to come to the market. These managers have to display a combination of solid pedigree, experience in managing a sizable chunk of assets and institutionalised platforms, adds Dayal.
Multi-strategy new funds attracted the most assets ($1.9 billion) for the first time, followed by event-driven strategies. This is a big leap from H1 2010 when multi-strats gathered merely $55 million. This reflects market maturity at three levels: market, investors and managers themselves, adds Dayal. As Asian capital markets continue to deepen, creating alpha-generating opportunities on not just equities but also in strategies that focus on other asset classes such as bonds, as well as though macro, arbitrage and event-driven approaches, more Asian managers are adopting a multi-strategy approach to gain from varying market cycles and asset classes. Investors, too, are looking for a more diversified alpha base from these managers. Post the financial crisis, with their growing asset sizes (especially those in the $1 billion-plus bracket) more Asian managers are opting for greater flexibility between strategies/asset classes to meaningfully deploy their capital.
The second half of 2011 reflects a healthy pipeline of new fund launches in Asia. Going forward, well see some quality launches from a combination of former star traders/second generation managers, international hedge fund shops that have been building operations in Asia, and new strategies or share classes coming out of successful post-crisis Asian shops that have reached $1 billion or more, and are soft/hard closed, notes Aradhna Dayal.

Detailed Description:
I. Assess for a decrease in phospho-Akt (Ser^473) levels in tissue after a pre-surgical trial of weekly protein Kinase B (Akt) inhibitor MK2206 (MK2206) (2 doses) in patients with operable invasive breast cancer.
I. Evaluate the effects of MK2206 on the immunohistochemical expression of other PI3K/AKT pathway biomarkers on pre-and post-MK2206 tumor tissue, such as phospho-S6 kinase.
II. Assess modulation of PI3K/AKT signaling following MK2206 use with reverse-phase protein microarray analysis.
III. Explore whether PIK3CA mutations demonstrate different modulation of PI3K/Akt-pathway signaling as compared to tumors with loss of phosphatase and tensin homolog(PTEN).
IV. Explore whether MK2206 alters PI3K/Akt pathway signaling differently in hormone receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)2-negative tumors, as compared to triple-negative or HER2-positive breast cancers.
V. Evaluate whether tumor proliferation, as measured by Ki-67 staining of breast tumor cells, is reduced in patients taking MK2206 pre-surgically and correlate Ki-67 modulation with changes in PI3K/AKT signaling.
VI. Determine safety and tolerability of MK2206 in patients with early-stage breast cancer.
VII. Collect fasting blood for evaluation of predictive markers of drug effect, such as markers in the insulin growth-factor receptor pathway (i.e., fasting insulin, c-peptide, insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1, and IGF binding protein (BP)-1 and 3), as well as modulation of phospho-markers in peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Patients receive Akt inhibitor MK2206 orally (PO) on days -9 and -2, and undergo segmental resection or total mastectomy on day 0.
After completion of therapy, patients are followed up for 4 weeks.

someone please help me! What is the difference between the two? Attached is a pic of a basket i bought at a local garden center. I am illiterate when it comes to gardening. What am I supposed to do with the purple flowers of the ivy? when they turn brown? Please help me!
Attachment | Size |

Well, yes it takes time, but it is really rewarding (at least according to me) and I HAVE actually managed to reduce the time that I MUST spend weeding and whatnot, through the use of mulch and so on. On the other hand, I am always buying new plants and moving the old ones around! Just can't leave well enough alone, dang it! But my DH, who thought I was obsessed, allowed as how I was probably not, "really", after he watched a TV show about people who collect orchids from all over the world and then propagate them!! LOL I look like a piker next to them!
flattery will get you everywhere! I have been playing around for a long time and have some things I picked up that work, and lots of others that don't!! But basically, love to garden.
Yes, that's a good place. Or you could leave the leaf bunch that is directly under the flowers (above where you marked) if you like - I don't know what it would look like - try it and see what you like better.
That's what gardening is all about, really, trying and seeing what works and what doesn't. And, depending on the weather, even what worked before may not work this year! My gardening heros (heroines), BTW, are Marjorie Harris and Lois Hole, both of whom have a happy-go-lucky style re: gardening. but both of them have green thumbs (elbows, arms, shoulders).
well, deadheading and pinching are really the same sort of thing IMHO. Pinching is usually used in reference to pinching off the top leaf cluster of a plant before it flowers, something you can do with your fingernails on thumb and finger -- usually you do this to hesbs, like basil, to make it branch more before it gets too long and leggy.
Deadheading usually is used in reference to cutting off (or pinching or breaking or whatever) dead flower heads - hence the "dead head". Usually the purpose of deadheading is not only to tidy up, but also to encourage the plant to flower again. Because you have cut off the flowers that it uses to make seeds that it reproduces with, it will want to make more seeds (from flowers). It also helps to make the plant put its remaining energy for the rest of the season into developing strong roots, rather than into developing seeds (unless you WANT it to produce seeds). I have a lot of perennials, and this root development is something I want in particular. Some plants will make more flowers (usually annuals, like in your baskets, will), and some won't (like peonies), but I generally deadhead anyhow (I am a neat freak), and as I say, it will help make the roots of your perennials more strong and also bulbs like tulips or daffodils.
What a lovely basket -- I think your "ivy" thing is actually Lamium? Anyhow, what I do is this: when the flower head is dead (brown or otherwise looking "over with"), I snip off the stem just below the flower head - in the case of your flowers, there are several on a stalk, and you can just snip off at the base of the stalk. Sometimes this may leave a bit of stalk sticking up, and it looks a bit out of place and it will eventually turn brown too, so you might as well snip down to the next thing on the stalk, whatever that is (usually the first set of leaves after the flower). I say "snip" because I find it is just easiest to use scissors or pruners right off the bat, because if I try to break the stem off, I inevitably make a mess or take off more than I intended!!
Sometimes the flowers grow or flower from the bottom of the flower stalk -- that is, there may be several flower buds on a stalk and they open so that the flowers on the bottom open first, and therefore die first -- for these you have 2 choices, you can either grin and bear it until all of the flowers have opened and died and then snip off the whole flower stalk, or you can snip off the individual little flowers of the stalk as they die, although this ends up looking funny sometimes, with the flowers on the top and the bare stalk below!
Hope this helps, newfie.

Monday Grok: "Tough week, but went better than I expected," Murdoch tweets
- 02 July, 2012 10:50
Sometimes I just love Rupert Murdoch. Not evil Rupert, whose minions hacked the mobile phone of a murdered school girl. Not wilfully blind Rupert, whose underlings are accused of corrupting police and public officials as his company spread its malevolent influence throughout the British Establishment.
No, I love grand-pappy Rupert, who occasionally takes to Twitter with the kind of enthusiasm and relish that you just know embarrasses the heck out of the family. "Aawww, Dad did you really have to?"
After five tumultuous days when he finally and inevitably split his company into two wings — the Republican Party and Tea Party, as one wag noted — the multi-multi-multi billionaire took to Twitter to let us all know: "Tough week, but went better than I expected."
Seriously, this stuff can't just be made up. By way of reference, Rupert ended the week $700 million wealthier than he began it after his News Corp stock soared following the news that it would break itself in two.
Here's what some from tweeting community had to say:
Sounds like a prostate thing. @rupertmurdoch: Tough week, but went better than I expected. @rutusjones
@rupertmurdoch you're referring to the Katie and Tom break up?
@rupertmurdoch I know what you mean. You split up a company, I split a peanut butter sandwich. #rulerpains @RoyalForumMoron
Same. Also, I wish I could eat ice cream. "@rupertmurdoch: Tough week, but went better than I expected."@ Bookgirl96
@rupertmurdoch If you're after a real go-getter exec for the new publishing arm, there's an up and comer you should snap up: Gina Rinehart @ 4b5
holy hell @rupertmurdoch you better have a beer and sit down. Glad the week didn't kick ur ass to hard. Good luck parasailing this weekend. @AyeMcShane
Not that any of this discouraged the charming old Digger. Later over the weekend he hopped into Mitt Romney's campaign team. "Met Romney last week. Tough O Chicago pros will be hard to beat unless he drops old friends from team and hires some real pros. Doubtful." Then he served it up to Tom Cruise and Scientology. "Scientology back in news. Very weird cult, but big, big money involved with Tom Cruise either number two or three in hierarchy."
iPhone turns five
Henry Blodgett at Business Insider reflects on five years of the iPhone and the changes it has wrought upon the world — or, at least that part of the world that can afford such an expensive and indulgent toy — you know, that rich part where we all live but where most of the world doesn't.
According to Blodgett, "It seems safe to say that never in history has a single product been so astoundingly successful so fast* and had such a radical impact on the world."
Twitter ditches LinkedIn
Twitter and LinkedIn appear to have had a falling out. Grok received a note from LinkedIn Saturday morning telling him that Twitter would no longer allow tweets to flow through to LinkedIn, but it will still work the other way. Grok was very Clark Gable about the whole thing, frankly.
Still, what gives? After all, it seems like a relatively mutual beneficial relationship.
Twitter explained: "Core Twitter consumption experience through a consistent set of products and tools." This just proves that a business model based on brevity does not guarantee to coherence.
So here's a simpler explanation: Twitter has decided that it is now big enough to have its cake and eat it too… without LinkedIn.
Lost in the Amazon
Finally, it's nice to know that in an age where technology seems to be all encompassing Mother Nature still finds a way of reminding us who is boss. Two of the net sectors' hottest sites, Pinterest and Instagram, were reduced to using Twitter and Facebook to update their customers after a pretty horrendous systems outage over the weekend. The cause: Bad weather.
Actually, it's a pretty serious story that will probably have everyone reaching for their lawyer, most particularly Amazon whose service was tanked.
Grok was monitoring the tweet stream over the weekend and Amazon has started sending out notifications to companies suggesting some of their data may not be recoverable.
One of those to receive such a missive was serial entrepreneur Philip Kaplan — a name which some of you who are old enough will remember from dotcom 1.0. He was the founder of briefly famous F*ckedcompany.com. He tweeted the following on Sunday: "Got an email from Amazon that they're unable to restore Fandalism's DB instance post-outage. Thank god for backups. Ps- Back yo sh*t up now." Irony or karma? Take your pick.
*Actually, the publishers of Modern Warfare 3 might beg to differ.

CD/LP/Track Review
Gene Ess: Sandbox and Sanctum (2005)
The quartet, rounded out by Donny McCaslin (tenor and soprano saxophones), Harvie S (bass), and Gene Jackson (drums), explores a programmatic song cycle based on the mythic quest of a hero. Following a brief sampled sound-wash and sparse snare drum chatter, Ess' guitar commences with a note of hesitancy, as if our hero were pondering the magnitude of his epic task. Soon it's down to business as guitar and tenor probe the harmonic contours of "Free 2 Fast with angular abandon. "Ryo, a gentle bossa featuring McCaslin's lyricism and Ess' woody midrange, is followed by "Baptisma Pyros, a bop-tism by fire showcasing a series of spontaneous combustions from guitar, tenor, and bass.
"Ballad for a Swordsman reveals the somber reality of a warrior's life through sensitive classical guitar sonorities and thoughtful, melancholic solos, until the group amps up for "Ask the Guru, a composition with trim unison lines, call-and-response sectioning, and featuring McCaslin's swelling chromatic contours and Ess's refreshingly non-guitaristic melodic conception. "Noh Country, an allusion to the traditional theater of Japanand perhaps the rootlessness of a heroic wayfarer?recalls the melodies of Gagaku royal court music, rendered here in pentatonic quintuplets over a loping jazz waltz. "Sun Matsuri (Sun Celebration) is even more adventurous, the rhythm section comping 5/4 time under the tenor's seven-beat phrasing, everyone eventually synching up at the 4/4 outro figure.
The mythical journey dénouements with "Kerama Processional, kicked off by Harvey S's Jaco-esque Latin-calypso vamp, punctuated by stop-and-go phrasing from guitar and soprano as the combo marches off towards the horizon, ambiguously overshadowed by a brief reprise of the opening industrial montage.
Track Listing: Free 2 Fast; Ryo; Baptisma Pyros; Ballad for a Swordsman; Ask the Guru; Noh Country; Sun
Matsuri; Kerama Processional.

Playwright William Shakespeare once famously wrote, "This above all: to thine own self be true / And it must follow, as the night the day / Thou canst not then be false to any man."
For Dr. Robin, these words get at the heart of what it means to live your best life. When you dare to be your true self, she says everything else falls into place. It may not always be easy, but it's the most rewarding path to take, she says. Is there an area in your life where you aren't being true to yourself? Perhaps you present a facade of your real personality to your children. Maybe you sit silently at family gatherings instead of saying what's truly on your heart and mind. Dare to be who you really are instead of pretending to be someone you're not, Dr. Robin says. Speaking your truth will free you from the shackles of falsehood and have a positive ripple effect on others. "Once you really are true to your own self, what then happens is you won't be false and fake to any other person who's in your life," she says. |

City of La Joya
101 N. Leo Avenue
La Joya, TX 78560
Tel: (956) 581-7002
These notices shall satisfy two separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by the City of La Joya.
On or about July 18, 2012, the City of La Joya will submit a request to the Texas General Land Office (GLO), Disaster Recovery Division (DR), Environmental Regulatory Officers, 301 Congress Avenue, Austin, Texas 78701, for the release of funds under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, and the Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance, and Continuing Appropriations Act enacted on September 30, 2008 (PL-110-329), for its Texas Community Development Block Grant Program for 2008 Supplemental Disaster Recovery Funds associated with Hurricanes Dolly and Ike, to undertake a project known as Street Improvements (GLO Contract No. 10-5089-000-5067, formally identified as TDRA Contract No. DRS010091). The City of La Joya proposes to use federal funds to remove approximately five hundred sixty-seven cubic yards (567 c.y.) of existing pavement and sub-grade, and place eight inches (8 in.) of caliche road base, two inch (2 in.) thick HMAC to reconstruct approximately four hundred seventy-three square yards (473 s.y.) of roadway, and install approximately seven hundred forty linear feet (740 l.f.) of curb and gutter. Construction shall take place along Peralez Martinez Street, commencing at 11th Street and going north. The City of La Joya is requesting the release of $405,865 of Federal assistance.
The City of La Joya has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at La Joya City Hall, 101 N. Leo Avenue, La Joya, TX 78560, and may be examined or copied weekdays, 8 A.M. to 5 P.M., excluding holidays.
Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to the City of La Joya, 101 N. Leo Avenue (P.O. Box H), La Joya, TX 78560. All comments received by July 17, 2012, will be considered by the City of La Joya prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds.
The City of La Joya certifies to TDRA that J.A. "Fito" Salinas in his capacity as Mayor consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process, and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. The TDRA approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities, and allows the City of La Joya to use Program funds.
The TDRA-DR Environmental Regulatory Officers will consider objections to its release of funds and the City of La Joya's certification received by August 2, 2012, or for a period of fifteen days following its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the City of La Joya; (b) the City of La Joya has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the project have committed funds or incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by TDRA; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58) and shall be addressed to the Texas General Land Office, Disaster Recovery Division, Environmental Regulatory Officers, 301 Congress Avenue, Suite 600, Austin, Texas 78701. Potential objectors should contact the GLO-Environmental Regulatory Officers at (512) 447-5590 to verify the actual last day of the objection period.
J.A. "Fito" Salinas, Mayor, City of La Joya

Frog (styled as frog) is a global innovation firm founded in 1969 by industrial designer Hartmut Esslinger in Mutlangen, Germany as "Esslinger Design".[1] Soon after it moved to Altensteig, Germany, and then to Palo Alto, California, and ultimately to its current headquarters in San Francisco, California. The name was changed to Frogdesign in 1982 (the name apparently originating from an acronym for Esslinger's home country, the Federal Republic of Germany), then to Frog Design in 2000, and finally to frog in 2011.
Originally geared towards industrial design, Frog has expanded its capabilities and now call itself a "global innovation firm" that creates and brings to market products, services and experiences. Many of its most famous designs are of consumer electronics and computers.
In August 2004, the company announced that Flextronics, a large electronics manufacturing services provider, was taking an equity stake in the company, a deal characterized by some commentators as essentially an acquisition. Flextronics CEO Michael Marks, in a March 2005 BusinessWeek article, said that Flex was going to integrate their San Jose-based industrial-design group with frog.[2] The company is now a unit of Aricent (formerly Flextronics Software), which itself is controlled by investment firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts.
Many of today's design leaders started at Frog Design, including Herbie Pfeifer, Paul Montgomery, Tylor Garland, Steven Skov Holt, Jon Guerra, Gadi Amit, Ross Lovegrove, Tucker Viemeister and Yves Behar.
Designs and clients[edit]
First designs were for WEGA in 1969, a German TV manufacturer, later acquired by Sony. Frog Design continued to work for Sony and designed the Trinitron television set in 1975.
Their first designs for computer manufacturers were for proprietary systems by CTM (Computertechnik Müller) in 1970 and Diehl Data Systems in 1979. More prominent are the designs for Apple Computer, starting with the case of the portable Apple IIc, introducing the Snow White design language used by Apple during 1984–90, and continuing with several Macintosh models.[3] The firm designed Sun's SPARCstations in 1989[4] and the NeXT Computer in 1987.[5]
More recently, frog has worked for clients such as GE, Microsoft, Siemens, Intel, Lufthansa, HP, and UNICEF.[6]
The company has grown to over 1,000 employees worldwide, with offices across the globe: San Francisco, Austin, New York City, Seattle, Munich, Milan, Shanghai, Amsterdam, and Boston.

SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD) has been bearish since its peak in late March. Being in a full bearish run, many analysts have it continuing this way. Gold has been bullishly influenced by government stimulus packages over the last couple years. And we do know the Federal Reserve said no more stimuli. Logic would have us continue to then look at gold with bearish glasses because the bullish catalyst won't be around anymore. But there was a time when there was no stimulus. Gold rose before the stimulus packages. If we look at the global markets today, what else outside of the stimulus packages could make gold rise again?
Right now, gold is no safe haven
Gold supporters always point to gold as a safe haven in times of trouble. It is a place of safety for people to pour money into. But right now, this is not the case. Gold is acting like just another trading entity right now. A "safe haven" does not fall 7% in two weeks. People look to safe havens for stability and security in rocky times. Lately, gold has not been safe and has not been stable. It has paralleled the markets since the end of March.
Possibly from a long-term perspective, believing it will provide safety again, we see a few major things going on in the world to hedge against. We have the possible collapse of the global banking system, Greece leaving the eurozone causing financial chaos there, and even JPMorgan's (JPM) $2-billion-plus blunder added some uncertainty to world markets. What could we consider that might cause gold to turn bullish again and provide stability while markets rock?
It is not going to be inflation - at least not right now
If inflation is rising, and goods and services are going to cost more, this would put a huge damper on the economy and also upon the U.S. debt. But inflation isn't rising. I have read on some gold news sites claims that inflation is rising at 5% for goods and 5% to 10% for services, but this is not the case. The State Street PriceStats Inflation Index has the inflation rate as of May 15th, 2012 as 0.065%. In fact, it has not been above 1.008% since July of 2008!
It will be the revelation of U.S. sovereign debt
In 2011, the Federal Reserve purchased 61% of the total treasury debt issuance. So our government is subsidizing its own spending and borrowing by expanding its balance sheet and making it look like everyone wants to purchase a piece of U.S. debt. This keeps Treasury interest rates abnormally low, camouflaging the true size of the budget deficit. In fact, interest in U.S. debt is lessening. According to a recent article in the Wall Street Journal, interest is waning. The opinion columnist writes:
"…in recent years foreigners and the U.S. private sector have grown less willing to fund the U.S. government. As the nearby chart shows, foreign purchases of U.S. Treasury debt plunged to 1.9% of GDP in 2011 from nearly 6% of GDP in 2009. Similarly, the U.S. private sector-namely banks, mutual funds, corporations and individuals-have reduced their purchases of U.S. government debt to a scant 0.9% of GDP in 2011 from a peak of more than 6% in 2009."
What is going to happen to the rates if the Feds stop cloaking the real debt picture? That's when inflation will hit hard. It is a smoke-and-mirror play in an election year.
If there are no buyers for our debt, either the Chinese and foreign buyers who are manipulating currency and the Fed stop, rates have to increase. It is that simple. The Fed can't allow that interest rate to rise with the debt outstanding.
Trying to figure out when the SPDR Gold Shares GLD is going to rise and gold becomes a safe haven again is going to depend upon the Fed's manipulative moves in this election year. Other than global events beyond our ability to control, it does not look like gold is going to be a safe haven investment in the near future.

OotP FilmMay 25, 2007, 04:44 PM
Bellatrix Lestrange and the actress who portrays her are the subject of a feature in the new issue of "Entertainment Weekly" magazine. Describing her character of Bella as "a sadist," Helena Bonham Carter details the look of the costumes that Bellatrix wears during Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. One highlight:
"For much of the film, Bellatrix wears a slinky, stitched-together black ensemble that's seen better days-think Catwoman after a blender. "I wanted her to be sorta falling apart at the seams, literally," says Bonham Carter. "She's very aristocratic, very posh. But there's a Sunset Boulevard thing going on."
Thanks to Stephanie from Rupert Grint.net we can see the scan of this article, here in our galleries. Thanks Stephanie!

The University of Colorado won't have Ward Churchill to kick around anymore. He's been fired.
But, was his firing really for academic misconduct, or was it based on disapproval of his political views, particularly his comments about 9/11?
His lawyer, David Lane, will file suit against C.U. in Denver District Court today. Why state court instead of federal court?
Lane said he will sue in Denver District Court, rather than federal court, because he can get a trial sooner. But he also said a Denver jury is more likely to be sympathetic than a federal jury, which would include "a lot of small-town people who are not enamored of Churchill."The lawsuit will allege that in firing Churchill, C.U. violated Churchill's First Amendment rights. I'm somewhat surprised at how much national press the story received today. Check out the coverage in the New York Times, complete with large photo. As Churchill and Lane have said all along, the outcome was hardly surprising.

East Coast, West Coast; Goings-On, On-Campus
In Colorado, Ward Churchill had a friend, Ruben G. Mendoza, a teaching assistant at the University of Colorado, Denver. Ruben's department Chair Dr. Lorna Moore, for abusing students, booted him from the university, against which Mendoza promptly filed suit. Ruben resurfaced and got fast-tracked to tenure through one Steven F. Arvizu, at CSU Monterey Bay.
Mendoza became the nosebleed of the fledgling university. Churchill was invited to CSUMB by Ruben to speak at a weeklong gathering of the clan. Mendoza also engages in academic misconduct, so far without consequence. The Duke lacrosse team fiasco shows that liberals have created a phony cultural paradigm that distorts reality. And, no one exploits phony paradigms, obfuscates truth, or games the system like the Clintons. Point being, miscreants like Churchill and Mendoza have powerful political backers: the fish rots from the head.
The Taliban might as well as run the university. -David Horowitz
Set the Wayback Machine for 23 August 1995: a hot day in the nation's capitol. But 3000 miles due west on California's Central Coast, a constellation of events was unfolding that would have a profound effect on Western civilization; plunge it into decades of war. Yet, this cataclysmic upheaval was only part of the plan. Bill Clinton picked up the telephone. It was his Chief of Staff Leon Panetta, calling from a payphone in Monterey. Bill held the receiver at arms length and gazed at the tasteful floral arrangement that adorned the Oval Office. Leon's disembodied voice filled the room. What now, asked Hillary. It's that damn college, mouthed Bill. There was, no getting out. Hillary nodded, just tell Leon he'll get whatever he needs: http://theseedsof9-11.com

Irrefutable evidence of his academic misconduct was brought to CU's attention before they gave him tenure. In my opinion, when they gave him tenure anyway, they excused that type of misconduct and they should be stuck with him.
To me this doesn't seem like a first amendment issue but one of estoppel. I'm not a lawyer, but I did spend six weeks as a juror in an estoppel case, so I'm at least a little bit familiar with the concept.

The story of a startup that wasn't
Put together on January 10, 2013 3:12 pm by Dimitris
What do you think?
Today the domain for a startup that we started back in 2009 expires – and I'll let it do so.
CobaltBox started off with great ambition and a vision to become something significant – only it didn't turn out as planned.
The idea was that we could use the web as a platform and include additional information on it – all in a relevant and contextual manner. Essentially, we aimed to allow web users would see the usual content of the webpage augmented by additional, personalised information brought to them with the help of other services.
So for example if you were reading an article on the economic crisis you would be able to see relevant Amazon book suggestions, similar Wikipedia article suggestions, YouTube video links and so on in a way that would enrich your browsing experience without leaving the website. Sounds pretty interesting right? Well, at least for 2009.
Plus, over time a user profile would be build so the information displayed would be even better targeted to the individual web user.
On top of that we thought that we should open the project so that third-party developers would be able to use popular services' APIs and write their own layers of information – web apps essentially – meant to run on our platform. That way further user personalisation could be achieved: users would select which web app layers to see when browsing.
We went on to release the first such app – Parallel Links – a Firefox plugin (the architecture was such that at least initally web apps would be in the form of browser addons), which embedded additional links on top of a page.
Surely an ambitious plan with multiple (even if somewhat sketchy at first) revenue possibilities: affiliate links, ads, apps' monetisation to name a few, all could be a part of it – plus a couple which were bound to come up down the road.
Although we spent nearly a year on developing both the backend and the frontend at the end of that period we realised that we wouldn't get very far and gradually decided to abandon the project. So the least I can do is share some of the lessons learned in the process.
1. When you start you should be sure you can build – product-wise – at least 80% if not 95% of what you're trying to make. Otherwise you'll spend way too much time learning the tools and solving otherwise trivial problems. That time is something you simply don't have especially if you're like us where we didn't have any revenue while developing.
2. Speaking of revenue, unless you're super confident you can make it – preferably with proof for that, i.e. a previous successful effort – don't postpone putting in place a way to monetise your efforts. In other words, it is vital to structure your progress from day 1 in a financially viable way.
3. Stealth mode is probably not that much worth it. Were we more vocal about our efforts maybe we would save ourselves of wasting some time or picked better tools or steered the entire project to a better direction altogether. Or we would be just taking instead of making and learning from our mistakes – which would also be wasting our time. Nobody can really tell but I think next time I will be trying the more open approach.
4. Build something that works as quickly as possible – the famous minimum viable product but at an even more simple scale. Namely, it doesn't have to start paying for itself, it just needs to do something. In other words make something that works and can be shown to people – even if it's buggy and half-baked. That helps a ton in getting actual feedback and boosting your morale you've actually delivered something.
These all are sensible advice you can probably read all over the web. The reason these tips are offered again and again is that it's actually quite hard to follow. Maybe we'll be wiser to follow it and other minor things that definitely went wrong.
Until the next time, then.
If someone is interested to have a look at our efforts, feel free to contact me and we can share how we approached the whole project.

Basic Snowshoeing Course - Seattle
01/07/13 (Mon) - 02/05/13 (Tue)
Seattle Snowshoeing
Lawrence Metzger
Mountaineers Seattle Program Center: 7700 Sand Point Way Northeast Seattle, WA 98115
Member: $60.00
/ Non Member: $80.00
Cancellation and Refund Policy
Sign Up Procedure: Important note: To fully register and graduate from this course you need to sign up for these 3 separate components... 1) Register for this Basic Snowshoe Course and pay the course fee. 2) Sign up for an available Lecture . This is a 2.5 hour Lecture on a weekday evening, either at the Seattle Program Center or on the Eastside. Also note that attendance at the lecture is mandatory in order for you to take the Field Trip. There are NO exceptions. 3) Sign up for an available Field Trip (need to attend after the Lecture). This is a full day Field Trip on a Saturday or Sunday at the Grace Lakes area at Stevens Pass. Carpooling is strongly encouraged, so please specify your carpool preferences when signing up for the Field Trip (or edit them later). Then click the link in your Profile to view other students' carpool preferences so that you can organize your own carpooling arrangements.
Space at the lectures and on the field trips is limited, so please sign up early to ensure you get the dates that work for you.
Read and understand how carpooling at the Mountaineers works.
Things to consider before signing up: 1) While this is a foundational course, a moderate physical conditioning level is necessary. The field trip involves approximately 3-4 miles of travel round-trip and up to 600 feet total elevation gain on snowshoes. This is the equivalent of approximately 6-8 miles and up to 1,200 feet elevation gain if wearing hiking boots on dry land.
2) If you are new to the outdoors and the Ten Essentials , expect a moderate level of investment in equipment and clothing ($200-600 for new or mostly new items). Used but quality gear and clothing is a good way to begin building your inventory. It is also always wise to rent or borrow snowshoes before investing in them. Check the field trip gear list in advance to begin preparing for the items you will need for this course and for snowshoeing in general. (We will also cover clothing and gear in detail during the lecture.)
Graduates of this course are eligible to join Easy and Easy+ snowshoe trips. Those desiring to join Moderate and/or Strenuous snowshoe trips, which require additional skills and backcountry knowledge, must take the Backcountry Snowshoe Skills course offered in February in addition to this course.
NOTE: This is the signup the Seattle lecture on January 7. Alternatively, you can signup for the Seattle lecture on January 15 or the Eastside lecture on January 10, 2013.
In addition to signing up for one of the lecture dates, you must also separately register for one field trip day (January 19, 20, 26 or 27).
Space at the lectures and on the field trips is limited, so please sign up early to ensure you get the date that works for you.

Women & Infants Hospital is participating in a national, randomized study to investigate the efficacy of a new fertility drug that would require one weekly injection rather than daily injections to simulate ovaries to make follicles. Women between the ages of 35 and 42 may qualify for an in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle at no cost with the investigational drug. For information, call Patty Pursue at the Center for Reproduction and Infertility at (401) 453-7500. Press Release
Researchers at Brown University and Women & Infants have built an artificial human ovary that can grow oocytes into mature human eggs in the laboratory. That development could help preserve fertility for women facing chemotherapy or other treatments. Learn More and watch the story that appeared on Ch 10.
Unfortunately, some infertility patients cannot seek treatment because of insurance restrictions, income or other barriers. With this in mind, the Center for Reproduction and Infertility has become a proud member of Lance Armstrong's Livestrong's Sharing Hope Program with a goal of increasing access to fertility preservation services for cancer patients.
