Dayforce selected the Microsoft Silverlight web development platform to build its innovative workforce management solution. By using Silverlight, Dayforce has reduced its development costs by 75 percent while empowering customers to increase schedule efficiency by up to 50 percent.
Business Needs
All companies strive to staff efficiently to control labor costs and strengthen their competitive advantage.
However, software solutions designed to address this problem often suffer from three critical shortcomings: lack of user adoption, limited scalability, and slow system performance. Low adoption typically stems from the failure to reconcile the underlying complexity of such software with employees' expectations for an intuitive and responsive user experience. In turn, if employees avoid using the system, businesses experience little return on investment (ROI) in the technology. Many of these systems have been designed to meet the needs of specific market segments and lack built-in flexibility to scale up or down in response to individual business requirements. Finally, inherent limitations in Java, HTML, and Adobe Flash have prevented applications built on those web platforms from achieving the performance that staff managers need to stay productive. In short, slower response rates dramatically increase the amount of time that managers spend working on labor management tasks.
Dayforce recognized the opportunity to provide enterprise-grade workforce management solutions that overcome these obstacles. The company's solutions combine a compelling user experience, the flexibility to scale from fewer than 100 to more than 100,000 employees, and cloud-based system performance rivaling that of a native desktop application.
Employees can also use the system to manage their own schedules. From a single screen, they are able to view their scheduled hours, submit leave requests, view their time cards, and manage their personal availability. "The consistent feedback we get from employees is that they love the tool because it's so easy to use, which is the key to widespread adoption," says Ossip.
Dayforce worked with Microsoft to validate its solution. Microsoft sponsored extensive performance testing of the application at Microsoft Technology Centers (MTC) in both New York City and San Francisco. During rigorous testing over a two-week period, the company proved the scalability of its Silverlight application up to hundreds of thousands of employees—more than sufficient to meet the requirements set by multibillion dollar clients. The team recorded sub-second average response times, with no response requiring more than 250 milliseconds. "The MTC experts have always been great to work with and tremendously helpful in supporting our company's rapid growth," says Ossip.

Huawei sees stronger sales growth for enterprise division
MILAN (Reuters) - Chinese telecoms group Huawei Technologies [HWT.UL] has increased its sales growth rate target at its enterprise business this year to 40 percent, board member and head of strategy William Xu said on Tuesday.
The world's second-largest telecoms equipment maker had previously forecast that sales at its enterprise division would grow 30 percent in 2014 from the previous year's 15,263 million yuan ($2.45 billion) - more than 6 percent of its total revenue.
"Last year we reached a (sales) growth rate of 32.4 percent and this year we expect to see 40 percent," said Xu, who also heads the enterprise division.
This division is the smallest of the Shenzhen-based group's three major business groups. Its products include data services and building private telecoms networks for companies and organisations.
The other two businesses are the consumer division, which includes smartphone manufacturing, and the network business, which accounted for almost 70 percent of sales last year.
Speaking at an event organised by Huawei in Milan, Xu said the focus of its enterprise business globally was on customers in the finance and transportation industries as well as energy and media.
Turning to the U.S. market, where Huawei has been blocked from certain projects because of security concerns, he said the major focus for the enterprise business was media and education. But when asked if he could give a U.S. sales target he said: "We will take a step by step approach."
Huawei has set up 28 innovation centres with customers around the world, 18 of which are located in Europe, where it now has more than 7,700 employees, according to a Huawei statement.
Xu said the group would hire 5,500 more employees in Europe in the next five years and the number of employees dedicated to research and development will double to more than 1,700.

CONCHO — The Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes are suing a Custer County district judge as they try to free up millions of dollars frozen by a Clinton bank at the end of April.
Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes sue Oklahoma district judge over frozen funds
Custer County District Judge Doug Haught is named in an amended complaint filed Tuesday by the tribes' attorneys in federal court. The tribes had already filed suit against First Bank and Trust Co., claiming roughly $6.4 million was illegally frozen on April 24.
"Defendant First Bank's decision to bring the State Court Action, and Defendant Haught's decision to maintain jurisdiction of the State Court Action, harm the rights of the Tribes to govern themselves by their own laws, as well as harm the rights of individual tribal members to elect and be led by a Governor of their choosing," the amended complaint states.
Bank officials stated they wanted the funds frozen because of an ongoing leadership dispute within the tribe.
Janice Prairie Chief-Boswell, who is the tribes' disputed governor, and Leslie Wandrie-Harjo, who was lieutenant governor at one time, each claim to be governor of the tribes. The dispute, which has gotten ugly at times and divided the tribes into factions, has raged for more than a year.
A June 8 hearing is set to resolve the banking issue, but a Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes spokeswoman said the effects of the freeze have already caused hardships.

Williams can challenge Red Bull - Bottas
Valtteri Bottas maintains Williams can challenge Red Bull as the 'best of the rest' during this weekend's Canadian Grand Prix. At the previous race in Monte Carlo, Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo finished on the podium whilst Bottas' Williams team-mate were the only of the Grove team's car to reach the chequered flag, in seventh place. Bottas' race was ended after his Williams encountered a problem with the Energy Recovery System that resulted in engine failure, but the Finn remains confident that they will perform much better in Montreal. "I think we can still fight [Red Bull]," Bottas told Autosport. "It's not easy - they are really improving, [but] Monaco was...

Abstract available in
Claims available in
Description (OCR text may contain errors)
July 21, 1953 A. L. JOHNSON MAGNETIC COUPLING Filed April 7. 1950 Patented July 21, 1953 MAGNETIC courting Ancle L. Johnson, Indianapolis, Ind. Application April 7, iasmse'riai No; 154,707
This invention relates to a magnetic coupling for useparticularly with toy automobiles, trucks, busses-trains and other wheeled articles.
It is the primary object of this invention to provide a magnetic hitch or coupling of such character that at least a 90 degree arcuateturn maybe negotiated by the leading toy without automatically causing a separation therefrom of the following or trailing toy to which it is coupled. This is facilitated in toy automobiles or the like by cutting away a portion of the face of the front fenders, thereby removing the obstruction that would, with the normal fenders, make a 90 degree turn impossible.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a coupling of such nature that an effective connection between the leading and the trailing toys is provided, which connection is sufficient to hold the toys in coupled relation under normal circumstances but at the same time makes it possible for a separation, one from the other, to be easily effected when desired. This is accomplished by providing a member of arcuate conformation and responsive to magnetic attraction adjacent the front bumper of the toys, and a permanent magnet of complementary conformation to said member adjacent the rear bumper of each toy, the magnets having a relatively high coercive force.
It is a further object of this invention to provide an inexpensive, simply constructed toy which is novel and entertaining and is instructive in the principles of magnetism. i
It is a still further object of the present invention to provide toy automobiles, busses, trains and the like with magnetic members of similar signs so that, when desired, the trailing toy may be reversed so that it is facing in a direction opposite to the leading toy whereupon the magnetic members repel each other and cause the leading toy to be moved automatically by a manual movement of the trailing toy.
It is well recognized that there are many varieties of couplings and hitches used to connect toy trains, automobiles, busses and the like. Most of these couplings are effective upon a mechanical association of cooperating members, i. e. through a tongue and slot connection or the like. This type of mechanical coupling necessitates the use of a pivot in order to make possible an angular movement of one toy relative to the other. On the other hand, thepresent invention does away completely with any relatively complicated, pivoted coupling members, yet accomplishes the same result in as easy and ready a manner.
1 Claim. (CI. 46-45) The full nature of the invention will be understood from the accompanying drawings and the following description and claim. In the drawings, I
Fig. 1 is a top plan'view of the invention-showing one of the cooperating members affixed to the leading toy herein shown as an automobile,
and the other member shown affixed to the trailing toy, the dotted lines indicating the right angle position to which one of the toys may be moved relative to the other.
Fig. 2 is a front elevation view of one of the cooperating members of the invention shown affixed adjacent the front bumper of a toy automobile.
Fig. 3 is a rear elevation view showing the other cooperating member of the invention affixed to the toy automobile adjacent the rear bumper.
In the drawings in shows a toy automobile having the ordinary top ll,.windshield l2, hood [3, fenders I4 and wheels l5. It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to use with toy automobiles but may, if desired, be used on toy trains, busses and trucks or the like.
Extending forwardly of the wheeled toy is a circular band I6 which may be secured in any suitable manner to the front end of the toy, and is responsive to magnetic attraction. It is desirable, although not imperative, that the band be disposed centrally of the sides of the toy as shown. In addition, it should be disposed in a horizontal plane relative to the toy.
Extending rearwardly from the toy automobile l1 hereinafter referred to as the leading automobile is the permanently charged magnet I8, of relatively high coercive force, which is likewise positioned centrally of the sides of the toy and is coplanar and in alignment with the band. This .member is herein shown to be substantially beveled at 20 on their inner confronting faces so as to receive therein in mating relationship a segment of the circular band l6 as shown.
Whenever it is desired to hitch the trailing toy Ill to the leading toy l1, it is, of course, necessary only to bring the two toys in juxtaposition whereupon the trailing toy I0 is joined by magnetic attraction to the leading toy. By reason of the complementary construction of the magnet relative to the band, it is possible for either toy to be moved relative to the other without breaking the connection. In the dotted lines shown in Fig. l the leading toy I! is shown disposed in right angular relation relative to the trailing toy, the connection still being maintained. It is,
of course, apparent that when it is desired to separate the two toys it is necessary to exert only such force as is necessary to overcome the attraction of the two cooperating members.
In the event it is desired to cause one toy to be moved by the other as a result of the repellent action of the magnets, it is necessary only to reverse one of the toys relative to the other so that magnetic members of like polarity confront each other. At such times by a manual moving of one toy the other is naturally caused to travel in the same direction.
While the invention has been illustrated and described in its preferred embodiment in the foregoing drawings and description, the same is to be consideredas illustrative and not restrictive in character.
The invention claimed is:
A magnetic coupling for wheeled toys comprising an annular band secured to and projecting outwardly in a horizontal plane from one end of a wheeled toy, said band being formed of a material responsive to magnetic attraction, and a. permanent magnet secured to and projecting outwardly in a horizontal plane from the other end .5
of an adjacent wheeled toy, said magnet and said band being coplanar and in alignment one with the other, said magnet being substantially U shaped with its arms extending towards and confronting said band, the inner corners of the free ends of said arms being beveled to form a radius complementary to the radius of said band, said band being rotatable relative to said magnet in a horizontalarc of at least 180 degrees, whereby said wheeled toys may be coupled by magnetic attraction and swung arcuately relative to each other, a portion of the peripheral surfaces of said band always being in engagement with said bevels during a rotation of at least 180 degrees.

Power of the Atom
In college I loved my physics classes. I was fascinated by the power of the atom. Something so tiny that it's measured in picometers (a trillionth of a meter), yet when split through nuclear fission it produces an exothermic reaction to release a large amount of energy. Ha ha! Just kidding. I wasn't really a science geek in college. I just got that stuff from Wikipedia. But I am impressed with the power of Atom the wrestler at Thunders Arena. I've posted before about how deceptively strong he is, and he's at it again with a nice looking gorilla press here of Angel. I'm a fan of Angel, too, who's a scrapper who really knows how to put the hurt on bigger dudes. With Thanksgiving just a few days away, I'm thankful to both Atom and Angel (as well as Thunders Arena) for all the entertainment they have provided us.
And I'm also thankful for having finally reached 100 followers. Thanks guys!

The Champ
One of my favorite pro wrestlers is Austrian Mexxberg, in no small part because he loves to bodyslam and gorilla press his opponents in the ring (and sometimes out as the fourth pic shows). What's not to like about that? Mexx is active in at least two European federations, Varsity Pro Wrestling and New European Championship Wrestling. He makes that VPW championship belt look pretty good.

As long as I am promoting wrestling websites, I want to feature Cameron Mathews' website today. Recently Cameron has begun to produce his own wrestling matches and posting them for sale. Many of the wrestlers will be familiar to you. The pictures here come from a match Cameron recently made available between Marko and Maverick. Maverick is none other than indy wrestler Tony Nese, and he suffers from a pretty good looking otk backbreaker here. There's a lot more on the website than just these videos. You can get information on how to request custom made matches, and Cameron also has details about "Pro vs. Joe" matches where you can challenge an underground wrestling star to a one-on-one match. Stepping into a ring against someone like Brad Barnes sounds like a lot of fun . . . at least until he scoops you up and snaps your spine with an otk backbreaker . . .

Molto Lotta Italiana
If you check out Italian Muscle's website, you'll see a link to his wrestling videos. These matches feature not just him, but several other of his buddies, too. From the previews, it looks like they are mostly lift and carry videos. Bearhug fans in particular should find them entertaining. Our man at Italian Muscle sent me these screen shots to show there's some good bodyslam and backbreaker action, too. The match between the two guys in the second and third pics really looks intriguing. Their singlets may not be quite regulation, but I'd love to wrestle them. I really need to start planning that trip to Italy . . .

Italian Muscle
Hey, can you believe I'm doing a second post in the same week? I need to make up for neglecting my blog for much of the year. Also, today's post just can't wait. I have always been interested when bodybuilders make wrestling videos for sale. It's a win-win proposition. Those who appreciate muscle wrestling get to see some fun action, and the bodybuilder gets to earn some money to help fund his training. Bodybuilders who do this include Karl Kasper at Hunk Muscle Show, Steel Muscle God, and Evander. Recently I came across another dude who is eager to show off his muscles in the wrestling ring. The guy in action here is known as Italian Muscle. He was kind enough to send these amazing screen caps from a couple of his matches where he shows off his strength and power. Italian Muscle has a website that is worth checking out. He has previews for several other videos, including wrestling. There are links to his social media sites, plus information about how to connect with him for private videos. Let's hope we see him bodyslamming many more dudes in the future.
When you think of Italy, wrestling doesn't immediately come to mind, but Italian Muscle shows just how universal wrestling is. You know, maybe it's time for me to take that vacation to Italy that I keep putting off . . .

Brodie Brings It
It's hard to believe that it is already October. The year has gone by fast. At the end of last year, I crowned Brodie Fisher of Rock Hard Wrestling the Wrestler of the Year for 2013, but it seems like he has kept a low profile in 2014. I think he's appeared in just one match this year, so maybe he has moved on to other things. It would be a shame to not see him wrestling anymore, but then again, sometimes to old has to make way for the new, and RHW has brought onboard some stunning new talent recently, like Dash Decker and Bruce Ballard. I'm pretty confident those two dudes will give me some good material to blog about soon. But back to Brodie, here he is above delivering some slams and backbreakers in a match against Colt Palmer. It's not really much of a match to be honest. Except for a few minutes of boxing at the beginning, Colt doesn't really fight back. That's my kind of opponent.
On another note, the photo below comes from a recent college wrestling match in California, and I love it! A lot of ingredients go into making a successful wrestler, such technique and skill, strength and muscles, drive, and a good dose of insanity. A cocky attitude is also essential for success in wrestling, and this photo captures that perfectly.

Muscles in Action
I know it has been many months since my last post. I guess over the past year I have found less and less time to spend on this blog, and to be honest, it's probably pretty much run its course. How much more can you say about a bodyslam anyway? Luckily, while I may be running out of words to say, wrestling productions are still turning out products that continue to inspire, and every once in a while I come across some things that are worth saying a few words about. If you have followed this blog, it's no secret that I like OTK backbreakers, so you can figure out why these pictures appeal to me. The first two action photos come from a match at Thunders Arena featuring Brad Barnes against Tak. I've seen the whole match and found it well worth the price of admission. The backbreaker Barnes gives Tak is probably one of the best I have seen. It actually begins with Barnes flat on his back and Tak on top of him. Barnes takes a hold of Tak and somehow works his way to his feet, taking Tak up with him. It's a testament to the strength and power of the bodybuilder wrestler. But the best is yet to come when Barnes drops Tak over his knee and holds him there for almost minute. Tak squirms and cries out in agony, but he just can't break free of Barnes' powerful arms. It's pretty impressive. The next photos come from a match at No Rules Wrestling between Dave Calbrese and Lorenzo Smalls. I haven't seen the entire match, but from the preview, it looks like Calbrese gets in some good power moves, including this sick OTK backbreaker.
Aside from the crotchlifts and backbreakers, it's the specific pairing of wrestlers in these two matches that leads to good quality action (at least in my opinion). I have always liked a wrestling contest where a muscular wrestler dominates a slightly smaller opponent. Maybe it's because I was a wrestler back in school, so I like to see the muscle guy win. In his match against Tak, Brad Barnes does a lot of showing off and flexing of muscles, and then he puts those muscles to good use with his awesome backbreaker. Dave Calbrese's muscularity is readily evident in the third photo, especially compared to the much leaner Lorenzo, who fruitlessly struggles in Calbrese's powerful arms. All in all, both matches present a great combination of muscles, lean bodies, and power moves.
Well, I hope you dudes enjoy these photos. Let's hope it won't be another six months before I make another post.

2011 NHL All-Star Game first event to get "cross-channel priority" on NBCUniversal
Jan 28, 2011, 5:03 PM EST
The 2011 NHL All-Star Game isn't going to be just unique for what happens during the All-Star Fantasy Draft tonight nor for the new format, it also marks a promotional first for the All-Star Game.
The All-Star Game is the first event to get cross-channel promotion across the new NBCUniversal. If you missed out on the news, Comcast purchased NBC and has put all the different channels and networks under one roof and with that, the All-Star Game is receiving broad promotion across the new NBCUniversal which has 20 channels and 40 websites that make up the NBCUniversal family. The game is slated to air at 4:00 p.m. ET on Versus.
These kinds of pushes aren't unique as they've been done before to promote major events like the Olympics, NFL Kickoff, movie premieres, and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Theme Park in Orlando.
With the NHL and its mid-season gathering of all the game's greatest players getting the honor of being the first event to get this treatment under the banner of the new NBCUniversal, it's getting some significant attention.

Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 2GB vs Radeon HD 7750
IntroThe Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 2GB comes with a core clock frequency of 650 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1000 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 40 nm design. It features 480 SPUs, 24 Texture Address Units, and 8 Raster Operation Units.
Compare all of that to the Radeon HD 7750, which has core speeds of 800 MHz on the GPU, and 1125 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 512 SPUs as well as 32 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.
(No game benchmarks for this combination yet.)
Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks
Power Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory Bandwidth
The Radeon HD 7750, in theory, should be a bit faster than the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 2GB in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon HD 7750 is much (about 64%) more effective at AF than the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 2GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon HD 7750 is superior to the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 2GB, and very much so. (explain)
Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.
Price Comparison
Please note that the price comparisons are based on search keywords - sometimes it might show cards with very similar names that are not exactly the same as the one chosen in the comparison. We do try to filter out the wrong results as best we can, though.
Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.
Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.
Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.

Seeing Brody Hayes again was like seeing a ghost. But, Irena Yovich noted with relief, the resemblance he bore to his late playboy brother--Irena's philandering ex-boyfriend--was purely physical. Still, she knew she'd better not get too close....
Brody had been secretly in love with Irena for years, and now she was suddenly within his reach. All he had to do was convince her that they were meant to be--that he was the right brother after all....

Magnus Carlsen played Bill Gates on the Norwegian TV show Skavlan on Saturday January 25th, 2014.
Time Control: Magnus said: "I will have 30 seconds, you can have as much time as you wish." Gates got two minutes.
The game went like this
After the game, Magnus said: "I violated one of my principles. I never use cheap tricks, but in this case I did"
With only 30 seconds in an OTB game, you kind of have to use cheap tricks to win, because he has to win within 15-20 moves or else he'll run out of time.
Carlsen making some risky moves on the assumption Bill Gates had no idea what he was doing.
7. Be2 and black is wondering where his attack went.
7. hxg4 is fine. Instead of 9. Nxe5 he should've just moved Re1, which removes the mate threat on h2. (After Nxf3+ Qxf3 Qh2+, Kf1 is available and the king is safe)
You would play h3 in that position with 2 minutes on your clock against Carlsen?
Too complicated for me.
Of course if Gates was a little better, a shot like 6 Nb5 would have been an uncomfortable loss of initiative for black.
The programme can be seen here (for a short time).
The game starts at around 54:45

'Game of Thrones' Season 4 Spoilers: Tyrion Lannister's Fate [Watch Video]
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Sachin Trivedi | June 5, 2014 3:34 PM EST
The big question on many viewers' minds is - what will happen to Tyrion Lannister? The shocking events of "Game of Thrones" Season 4 Episode 8 seem to have sealed his fate. Will Tywin have his own son executed? Spoilers ahead.
Oberyn Martell almost won Tyrion his freedom, but to overcome a strong adversary like Gregor Clegane is not easy. The brutality of his death has left many fans shocked and all eyes will now be on what will happen next to Tyrion Lannister.
Tywin Lannister never loved his son Tyrion, this is no secret to viewers who have been following "Game of Thrones" Season 4. But it was never his plan to execute his own son, his plan from the beginning was to send him off to The Wall.
Tywin Lannister's high handed approach toward his son will eventually lead to his own down fall. Fans who have read the books "A Song of Ice and Fire," may be expecting a big death in episode 9, but they may have to wait another week for that.
"Game of Thrones" Season 4 Episode 9 may be dedicating a large part on the highly anticipated battle on The Wall. Events in King's Landing may not progress that fast and shocking events in the palace may be shown in the next episode.
The titles for episode 9 and 10 give fans a hint of what to expect. The promo video of episode 9 shows the battle at The Wall and there is no hint that Tyrion's fate will be decided so soon. Perhaps the episode will give hints of Tyrion's escape.
The viewers will have more reason to wait for the "Game of Thrones" Season 4 finale. The title for that final episode is "The Children." The episode may focus on the actions Tyrion Lannister will take and a difficult decision of Daenerys Targaryen.
"Game of Thrones" Season 4 may end with Tyrion killing his father and Shae before he escapes on a ship to the city of Pentos. Daenerys Targaryen so far has seen sheep being taken away and eaten by her children - the dragons, in the finale she may be confronted with a situation where a child is burnt and eaten by Drogon. She may be forced to put her dragons in chains following this incident.

The bodywork of the latest models on display at the Brussels Auto Show has caused a storm in Belgian politics.
The country's Minister of Equal Opportunities has written a letter to organisers urging hostesses to cover up their curves.
Joelle Milquet told bosses that the show is a family event and that manufacturers should be cautious about the revealing clothes sported by the girls.
"We have to question the stereotypes we are passing on to children and young adults," she wrote.
Joost Kaesemans, a spokesman for the organisers, said: "It's not our job to be the moral police. We're not going to send out a team to measure the skirts of every model."
But car shows wouldn't be car shows without an array of beauties sprawled over the bonnets. Some say their presence can spruce up even the ugliest set of wheels.
"I think it's important to respect the women a little but those that we ask to come and work here they know what they're in for," said Caroline Stasse, head of public relations for Mitsubishi Belgium.
Joelle Milquet will attend the event, which runs until the 20th of January.
And she'll be pleased to know some carmakers are cleaning up their act in the name of equal opportunities: men are modelling alongside the cars for the first time at the Brussels Auto Show.

US Stocks: Stocks Tumble 1% After Health-Care Ruling
"It's a pretty clear negative. Until the election [in November], public policy uncertainty was going to be on the rise, dampening business confidence," Barry Knapp, head of U.S. equity portfolio strategy at Barclays. "This clearly plays into that theme and it leaves a whole bunch of unanswered questions….Markets were going down anyway and this is just going to be a pretty clear negative catalyst over the next or two as opposed to something to stop the bleeding."

Mother backs fatal bug campaign
Published at 13:54, Friday, 14 September 2012
THE mum of a Carlisle schoolgirl who died after being struck down by meningitis is backing a campaign to raise awareness of its symptoms.
Sally Glendinning – a pupil at the city's Richard Rose Central Academy –was just 17 when she lost her life to the illness in January 2011.
Her mum Anne is now urging others in the community to Be MeningitisWise as part of Meningitis Awareness Week, which starts Monday.
By encouraging people to learn the symptoms and act fast, she believes it will save lives and prevent other families from similar tragedies.
"Our daughter Sally was a fit healthy young girl with a bubbly personality full of fun and loved life," she said.
"She took ill with a sore throat and fever which the out-of-hours doctor diagnosed as flu. The next evening Sally had been sick, had an awful bad head and didn't like the light. She was talking gibberish, had a completely blank expression and was thrashing about.
"She was taken to Cumberland Infirmary where they worked all night to try to save her life but couldn't work a miracle. Sally lost her fight for life aged 17. We love and miss her so very much."
According to the Meningitis Research Foundation (MRF), meningitis and septicaemia affect around 3,600 people in the UK and Ireland annually. The deadly diseases can strike anyone without warning, killing one in 10 and leaving a quarter of survivors with life-altering after-effects ranging from deafness and brain damage to limbs loss. For a list of symptoms visit www.meningitis.org or download the free iPhone App from www.bit.ly/MRFapp.

Wayne Gretzky on Taylor Hall: 'Records are so made to be broken'
Oct 18, 2013, 1:55 AM EST
Wayne Gretzky has responded to Taylor Hall breaking The Great One's record for the fastest two goals by an Edmonton Oilers player.
Hall scored twice in the span of just eight seconds Thursday night against the New York Islanders, setting the new record.(Click here to see the videos)
It had previously been held by Gretzky, who scored twice in nine seconds back on February 18, 1981.
"That is so cool, good for him, he's a great kid. Records are so made to be broken, it's good for the game," Gretzky told Pierre LeBrun of ESPN.com.
"If Kevin Lowe would have got me the puck quicker it would have been 7 seconds!"

Did the Oilers win? Sorry…couldn't resist

someone had to say it
- saintsredwings - Oct 18, 2013 at 2:24 AM
The 80'S are all this franchise has and continues to live by those same players. Oilers ownership needs to get rid of these guys in mgmt. Oilers will not get anywhere with Kevin Lowe & Craig McTavish
- nothanksimdriving123 - Oct 18, 2013 at 3:00 AM
Gretzky's single-game records are within reach of mere mortals having a hot game (Sam Gagner tied one with an 8 point game in 2012). His single-season and career records will last a long time. Example: 99 had 163 assists one season. In the last full NHL season, the top 5 Oilers totaled 158.
- canucks30 - Oct 18, 2013 at 6:48 AM
Meh. When Taylor Hall scores 200+ points in a season, 50 goals in 39 games, or 800+ career goals then let's talk.
- rtookey - Oct 18, 2013 at 1:42 PM
As it turns out, goalies (aside from Dubnyk) know how to save the puck now. Getting 200pts in a season will never happen again.
- nothanksimdriving123 - Oct 18, 2013 at 2:00 PM
I'm not sure if the goalies are better now; I'll vote maybe on that. They certainly wear much bulkier gear now, leaving less space for the puck to get through. I suspect the average size of NHL goalies is a bit larger too. Not many are 5-feet-9 like in the 1980s.
- malvaren18 - Oct 18, 2013 at 9:13 AM
Hall got lucky, Gretzky is the best player ever to have put on skates, Hall is just average at most.

Lol yeah the world is always fair, and always a perfect meritocracy
Type: Posts; User: JimiCliff
Lol yeah the world is always fair, and always a perfect meritocracy
Because the coaches think Lowry's a dick
Of course...
But the question (and the reason we're here) is why?
In a game like this, I don't see how the league itself benefits from having the Bulls win
And actually, the league assigned a very inexperienced crew to this game, and inexperienced crews tend to...
It's because he knows that might be the one post-up he gets before he sits.
If that were me, I'd play it exactly the same.
The Raps also went down by 17 when he was on the bench.
Hmm I don't think he saw enough court for me to say...also I liked both Ross' and Amir's games...this one was really on Demar and the bench (minus JJ)...
Yep JV was fine. He was very good in the first quarter, came out very strong.
Hahahah lost in all the Demar/Greivis/Casey hatred is the fact that JJ was an absolute monster tonight
It's true.
And you'd have to assume that Masai isn't banking on this either...
For us it isn't Achilles heel, but Amirs ankle.
When he's at full health, the front court is fine IMO.
Here's the thing with Derozan: once he runs up against a smart coach and/or good defender, it's very easy to take him right out of his game.
As this team gets better, and starts playing more...
Yeah but in an empty gym his handles are really good
Who says no to that trade?
Man I feel bad for Rose
Similarly, I hate when the Raps where their camo alternates. Other the fact that they're ugly as fuck, the subtle Orwellian military propaganda makes me sick.
I think what's important is that the team needs to understand it. We play better Lowry's in command, rather than when he's DeFerring a little bit.
'How does a Derozan circus layup make you feel?' is the new 'What's the sound of one hand clapping?'
Lol nailed it.
I was actually kind of pissed when he made that ridiculous circus layup last night, in the third quarter I think, against Jeff Green maybe. Those are the kinds of shots that are...
I'm not trying to legitimize the franchise, because that would be impossible lol
I'm just saying, we have proof that a Toronto player can be noticed and embraced by the collective NBA...
Or, maybe because being 'one of the best two guards in the league' doesn't actually mean much at all, at a time when the two guard position may be the weakest that it's been in the last thirty years,...
Yep, he missed some gimmies.
He also made Bosh and Haslem look like a children on the shots that went in.
Just as bad, or worse, than anything Jonas did was the guards' missed free throws,...
14 points on 6/11 from the field with two blocks, GTFOH with that scrub bullshit
Miami shot 60% from the field. That isn't sustainable. We'll win.
