Dennis Condrey
Real Name
Dennis Condrey
Date of Birth
February 1, 1951
Place of Birth
Reports have surfaced that Samoa Joe and TNA parted ways after Bound For Glory 2014 once the contract between the two sides expired. As many already know, the company has been allowing top level performers to walk away because they simply do not want to make big financial commitments until a new television deal is secured. The belief is that Joe could be brought back on board once a new home on television has been found.
October 14, 2014
There were some backstage jokes at Bound For Glory 2014 that Mike Tenay was the agent for Kaz Hayashi. The two of them formed a bit of a bond when they were working in WCW together. When Wrestle-1 officials were trying to decide who to throw into the triple threat match with Low Ki and Samoa Joe, it was Tenay that convinced them to go with Hayashi. Japanese officials were said to be quite impressed that Tenay even knew who Hayashi was.
October 13, 2014
During Bound For Glory 2014, Bully Ray and Devon specifically mentioned the Bullet Club, a stable in New Japan. That is of interest because the pay per view was promoted by Great Muta and Wrestle-1. This has led to speculation that Team 3D may end up signing with Jeff Jarrett and Global Force Wrestling because the company has a partnership with New Japan.
October 12, 2014
In a rather interesting move, Tajiri turned heel during a Wrestle-1 event this week. The decision is noteworthy because he is still scheduled to team up with the Great Muta as a baby face team during Bound For Glory 2014 in a match against James Storm and Seiya Sanada. No word yet on how TNA will handle the situation, but it could just be avoided since most American fans are not regular viewers of Japanese wrestling.
October 9, 2014
Jimmy Suzuki is the guy playing a big role on deciding the card for Bound For Glory 2014. He recently made a comment about there possibly not being enough room for a Knockouts match, and that drew the ire of TNA fans. Suzuki explained what he meant and revealed that he has quite a bit of history with booking women. Gail Kim came out and defended Suzuki as well, as he played a part in her career early on.
September 27, 2014
Those of you that watch Impact Wrestling already know that Samoa Joe did a segment where he gave up the TNA X Division Championship. That led to some speculations from fans as to whether or not it is a story line. Unfortunately, the injury is a legitimate one. Joe has been having some problems with his shoulders. He might still try to work through the pain and perform at Bound For Glory 2014, though.
September 25, 2014
The recovery for Davey Richards is not going as fast as many had hoped for, so TNA has had to make the tough decision to pull the Wolves from their advertised appearance at Bound For Glory 2014, which is taking place in Japan this year. No word yet on who will replace the duo, but there is a chance that Eddie Edwards could still be utilized on the pay per view in a match.
September 24, 2014
When his contract was expiring, a lot of fans wondered what TNA would do with Bully Ray and his stories since he was leaving the company. The two sides have reached an agreement to continue working together, so that the stories can be resolved. Bully Ray will also work the Bound For Glory 2014 event and be inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame before parting ways.
September 15, 2014
Since he has a criminal conviction on his record, there were some speculations as to whether or not Jeff Hardy would be allowed to travel into Japan to work at Bound For Glory 2014. Sources are now stating that the former world heavyweight champion has been cleared to enter the country if he wishes. It is now up to TNA to decide if they want to have him on the show. As of right now, Hardy is not being advertised for the pay per view.
September 14, 2014
Rumors are spreading rapidly right now that Bully Ray has signed a new contract with TNA. The speculation stems from the fact that the company is now openly advertising him for Bound For Glory 2014. His contract expired not too long ago, and at the time, the belief was that the two sides were not able to come to an agreement on a new deal because TNA was still waiting for a television contract. There is also a chance that Bully Ray could just be doing a one time thing for the company.
September 13, 2014
Reports surfaced not too long ago that Bully Ray was leaving TNA, as his contract was set to expire and a new deal could not be reached between the two sides. Apparently, he is going to remain on good terms with management, as the former world heavyweight champion is still being advertised for Bound For Glory 2014. Team 3D is scheduled to be inducted into the hall of fame that evening, but it would not come as a shock if Bully ended up working a match on the pay per view.
August 30, 2014
When Bound For Glory 2014 was announced, there were some concerns because New Japan was doing a show at the same venue on the same day as well. Dixie Carter and Great Muta no longer need to worry about that since NJPW has decided to cancel the event. No word yet on the cause behind the cancellation. There are some speculations that Jeff Jarrett, who was recently in Japan, might have had something to do with it.
August 16, 2014
Over the last several weeks, TNA has been generating quite the buzz, including a big announcement by Dixie Carter and Great Muta about doing Bound For Glory 2014 in Japan. Now, the company is hyping up a huge announcement that will be taking place at the London Film and Comic Con event. No official word yet on what the announcement will be, but some are speculation that TNA could be doing a pay per view in England soon.
June 30, 2014
It's going to be a busy day at the Korakuen Hall on October 12th. Dixie Carter and the Great Muta are not the only people hosting a wrestling pay per view at that venue. New Japan Pro Wrestling will also be doing an internet pay per view there as well. The belief is that one of the shows, most likely Bound For Glory 2014, will be taped in the afternoon.
June 26, 2014
The announcement by Dixie Carter and Great Muta turned out to be much bigger than initially expected. Some thought the two were just going to reveal that more Japanese wrestlers were coming to the states to work TNA shows. However, the two shocked the wrestling world by announcing that Bound For Glory 2014 will be taking place in Japan. Muta is expected to play a big part in setting everything up for TNA over in Tokyo.
June 25, 2014
On Wednesday, a press conference has been scheduled by Dixie Carter and the Great Muta. A huge announcement is expected to be made, but no details have been released just yet. Right now, rumors are pointing to another joint show between TNA and Wrestle-1. Speculations are that Muta will be bringing an influx of Japanese wrestlers over to the states to work the upcoming Bound For Glory 2014 show.
June 23, 2014
One of the biggest mysteries in professional wrestling involves Dennis Condrey and his decision to walk away from the Midnight Express. When asked about the situation, Bobby Eaton said that his former tag team partner basically left without saying a word to him for two years. Condrey reportedly did not inform Jim Cornette or the NWA, either.
April 2, 2014
While Jim Cornette managed to gain some attention recently by stating that he would accept a hall of fame induction from WWE, there is very little chance of the Midnight Express being given the honors. Management really does not feel that Bobby Eaton, Stan Lane and Dennis Condrey are marketable enough to their current fan base.
March 11, 2014
Despite all of his issues with the company, Jim Cornette recently revealed in an interview that he would be open to a hall of fame induction for himself and the Midnight Express if WWE were to ask him. The belief is that the company would induct Bobby Eaton, Dennis Condrey and Stan Lane together if they decided to go that route.

• 1 cup milk
• 1 1/2 teaspoons chicken base, or 1 cube chicken bouillon
• 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic*
• 1/8 teaspoon celery salt
• 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

• Salt and ground white pepper, if desired
• Ground nutmeg, for garnish
• Crisp, cooked, crumbled bacon, for garnish
*Note: Granulated garlic is dried granular garlic, not the same as dried minced, dried chopped, or garlic powder. It has the best flavor of all the dried garlic products, in our opinion. Some supermarkets carry it in the gourmet spice section, and it's available from spice shops.
**Variation: To make the recipe with fresh spinach, you will need 4 (10-ounce) bags trimmed, washed spinach (not baby spinach).

While the Oscars bring glossy beauties and ladylike up-dos, you can guarantee a dollop of beauty fun when it comes to the BRIT Awards. So how happy were we to see the great and the good of the music world out in force last night (see the best dresses here). However, much like the Grammys before them, the attendees were far more subdued than in previous years. There was no towering bouffant from Lana Del Rey who instead sported a modest plait, Caroline Flack ditched the dip-dye for a sultry chocolate hue and even Jessie J opted against a neon-bright lip. Whatever is happening to the world?
The leader of the pack was the polished princess of pop, Taylor Swift, who looked as sleek as ever with her almighty 'bangs' and long tresses straight and flowing. Instead of the retro red lip she's been favouring, Swifty went sexy with smokey eyes and fluttering lashes. It was a look that worked wonderfully with her elegant Elie Saab gown that subtly flashed her pins. Gosh, Harry must be kicking himself.
We were also impressed to see Jessie J going a different beauty route. Gone was the fringed bob and multi-coloured extensions and in their place were poker straight tresses. And rather than lashings of rainbow-bright makeup, she kept her makeup minimal with little more than a slick of lipgloss. It was the perfect complement to her uber-sophisticated Versace gown which stole the spotlight thanks to that plunging neckline.
Three cheers for Rita Ora who brought a dash of colour to the proceedings with her bright red lip and Gwen Stefani-esque blonde quiff. Katherine Jenkins and Paloma Faith also went colourful in Barbie pink lipstick and rosy cheeks while Gemma Arterton teamed her Jonathan Saunders ensemble with a slick of red lippy. Oh, and let's not forget the Jourdan Dunn fresh off the London Fashion Week catwalks who looked nothing short of a golden goddess.

The renewed interest in coal as a fuel source for power generation will increase coal demand by up to 4 percent a year for the next 20 years. With so much coal produced domestically in this...
Biocoal Options
A new future for small coal-fired plants.
comparable and more expensive, with natural gas somewhat preferred. The choice between natural gas and biomass depends a great deal on judgment about the future prices of those two fuels, something that is a matter of considerable debate. If natural gas is readily available and remains inexpensive, it appears preferable to biomass. If biomass is readily available and natural gas rises in price, biomass is the most appropriate choice. When modest environmental adders are considered, the picture changes only slightly. Coal refurbishment remains the best economic choice, with biomass and natural gas repowering being moderately more expensive. Of course, these observations must be considered in light of the specific conditions at each site.
How does consideration of biocoal change this picture? This is illustrated in Figure 5 where three scenarios of biocoal economics are shown: low, base and high. The capital cost required for using biocoal is modest. In this example, boiler refurbishment will be required but environmental controls required are less extensive, largely for PM-10. SO 2, NO X and Hg. The estimated cost is $25 million. In this example, three possibilities are included for the cost of biocoal. In the base case, biocoal is assumed to cost $4/MMBtu more than raw biomass. This is consistent with current estimates. The low case is $2/MMBtu, which is consistent with technological and infrastructure advances as well as short transportation distances. The high case is $6/MMBtu, which is associated with disappointing technological results and long transportation distances.
Biocoal has a major effect on the choice among alternatives. In the base case, the annual fuel bill is $25 million. The resulting cost of biocoal repowering is $32 million with or without environmental adders. Without environmental adders, biocoal is considerably less expensive than both natural gas and raw biomass repowering. It remains somewhat more expensive than coal itself. With even modest environmental adders, biocoal is now considerably cheaper than all three other alternatives by between $5 million and $15 million per year.
In the low case, the cost of biocoal repowering is $26 million. This figure is even lower than coal on a pure economic basis. With foreseeable technological advances, biocoal might be able to compete in some circumstances with coal on straight economics. In the high case, the cost of biocoal repowering is $39 million. Even in this case, biocoal repowering is preferred to natural gas and raw biomass repowering. Even with disappointing technological progress, biocoal might have an important role where environmental considerations are significant.
Based on this analysis, biocoal appears to have the potential for considerable economic and environmental benefit. In the absence of any environmental adders, biocoal conversion might save up to $2 million/year on a straight economic basis over the next best alternative—coal refurbishment. If environmental adders are considered, whether they are mandated or pursued voluntarily, the savings might be as high as $5 to $15 million/year or more over the other alternatives. And if biocoal conversion takes the place of coal refurbishment or natural gas repowering, CO 2 emissions are reduced by between 150,000 and 300,000 tons per year.

An analysis of more than 25,000 earnings calls made by publicly held U.S. companies reveals that the tone of calls is markedly different depending on the time of day--and stock returns over the next quarter reflect that tone, with negative calls associated with abnormal negative returns. Managers should consider these findings when scheduling calls and be aware that, for example, a 3 PM call is likely to have a far more negative tone than an 8 AM call.

Pleasing Wall Street used to be easy for executives. Not anymore. The stock market is an uncertain place, and every day executives have to figure out what investors really want. There are right ways and wrong ways to do this. Get it wrong, and you risk alienating investors as well as employees, consumers, and suppliers-which can erode your earnings and stock price. In What Investors Really Want, Baruch Lev draws on his own and other finance scholars' research to present authoritative, often surprising instructions for dealing intelligently with Wall Street-and boosting your company's earnings and stock price. Through rigorous data analysis and real-life cases, Lev shows how to: (1) Understand and address investors' concerns to secure ongoing funding and support from the capital markets, (2) Deliver disappointing news effectively to investors, (3) Build, rebuild, and maintain credibility on Wall Street, (4) Buy time for your company's recovery from activist shareholders and hedge fund raiders, and (5) Structure your compensation to win shareholders' support. What Investors Really Want demonstrates that despite the uncertainty that characterizes Wall Street today, you can still craft a mutually beneficial, long-term partnership with investors.

Providing earnings guidance-publicly releasing managerial forecasts of a company's profits-has become a highly controversial practice, with critics ranging from Warren Buffett to a McKinsey team to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Yet more than a thousand U.S. corporations issue such forecasts each year. Are they making a mistake? On the contrary, argues Lev, an accounting professor at NYU Stern: Investors want more information, and they will reward companies that make it available. Conventional wisdom notwithstanding, Lev maintains that investors care a lot about what drives a company's long-term growth; however, they often need help understanding what the drivers are. Guidance, non-GAAP pro forma earnings statements, and executive conference calls with investors and analysts after the release of earnings statements are potent tools. Done right, they can bring higher stock prices, lower volatility, and reduced cost of capital, and they may also temper shareholder litigation and its consequences. Some guidance for guiders is in order: Offer guidance only if your predictions are consistently better than analysts' consensus forecasts. Don't stand out as a "guidance refusenik" in a sector where guidance is prevalent. Maintain credibility and don't duck the truth-manipulating expectations so that reported earnings will comfortably exceed them breeds mistrust. Resist legal advice to be cryptic or bland, and don't overlook the value of "soft" information; executives' narrative and tone color many investors' decisions and account for most stock price changes in the wake of financial reports. These are not easy times to be an executive dealing with financial markets. But running away from disillusioned investors only makes things worse. Far better is to figure out what they value and to shape your financial reporting and communications strategies accordingly.

Intangible assets--patents and know-how, brands, a skilled workforce, strong customer relationships, software, unique processes and organizational designs, and the like--generate most of a company's growth and shareholder value. Yet, extensive research indicates that investors systematically misprice the shares of intangibles-intensive enterprises. Clearly, overpricing wastes capital. But underpricing raises the cost of capital, hamstringing executives in their efforts to take advantage of further growth opportunities. How do you break this vicious cycle? By generating better information about your investments in intangibles and by disclosing at least some of that data to the capital markets. Getting at that information is easier said than done, however. There are no markets generating visible prices for intellectual capital, brands, or human capital to assist investors in correctly valuing intangibles-intensive companies. And current accounting practices lump funds spent on intangibles with general expenses, so that investors and executives don't even know how much is being invested in them, let alone what a return on those investments might be. At the very least, companies should break out the amounts spent on intangibles and disclose them to the markets. More fundamentally, executives should start thinking of intangibles not as costs but as assets, so that they are recognized as investments whose returns are identified and monitored. The proposals laid down in this article are only a beginning, the author stresses. Corporations and accounting bodies should make systematic efforts to develop information that can reliably reflect the unique attributes of intangible assets. The current serious misallocations of resources should be incentive enough for businesses to join--and even lead--such developments.
show details
Baruch Lev, the foremost expert on intangible assets, discusses their growing force in the economy and the challenges they pose to managers and investors--specifically in valuation. He outlines how, using his information system, the "Value Chain Blueprint," firms can clearly articulate the role of intangibles in the value chain. Also includes a response from Robert Kaplan.

Personally I don't recommend following a criminal lifestyle, but if you do, here's a small piece of advice.
If you're going to steal something, don't steal something that you have to feed. It could trip you up.
In late January, late on the 24th or early the 25th, someone got into the Chocolate Box horse rescue operation, which is in the middle of nowhere in the northeast corner of Allen County, and took two horses.
Whoever took the horses had to have had access to a horse trailer, but they apparently didn't know a lot about horses.
Vaunetta Barnhill runs the Chocolate Box, operating out of a pretty worn-out barn. The people who took the two horses picked out the two prettiest ones in the place, she said, a palomino and an old mare. The problem was that they also took two of the most broken-down horses in the place.
The palomino isn't that old, but it was neglected when it was young and its growth was stunted, and it has problems with its immune system. It gets sick easily when the weather changes.
The other horse has arthritis. The horse rescue's veterinarian did manage to come up with an effective pain management regimen for the horse, though, so it can get around.
"You could look at the mare and tell there was something seriously wrong," Barnhill said.
Barnhill and Chocolate Box volunteer Chrissy Laur suspect the horses spent at least two days cooped up in a horse trailer, possibly getting fed nothing.
Later, the people who took the horses rented space in a barn, where the horses stayed for about a week, but there was practically no food for the horses.
The owner of the barn got concerned, concerned enough that she bought some feed for the horses herself and then started, "calling around," police said. That's when she learned that two horses had been reported stolen from the Chocolate Box, police said.
It wasn't too long before a DeKalb County sheriff's deputy, Chocolate Box volunteer Chrissy Laur, the barn's owner and two people who had rented the barn for the horses were all in the same place.
Laur identified the horses as being from the Chocolate Box, and they were in sorry shape. They hadn't been fed regularly and hadn't received needed medication.
A juvenile was taken into custody on an unrelated charge, but no charges have been filed yet in connection with the theft of the horses. DeKalb County Detective Brian Springer said an investigation is continuing, but at this point nothing has been turned over to the DeKalb County prosecutor.
The story might be over for the Chocolate Box and its horses, but it's not a happy ending.
Technically, Barnhill said, the horses aren't worth anything – and weren't worth taking – so in theory the Chocolate Box suffered no loss. But Barnhill had to hire someone with a horse trailer to pick up the horses in another county and return them home, and that costs about $2 a mile.
Now the animals, which went with little food and without their medications for nearly two weeks, have to be stabilized all over again, Barnhill said.

Breaking into Hollywood is sometimes about who you know. It can also be about where you live. That's the case with the 6,100-square-foot home owned by New York Times best-selling author and international sales expert, Grant Cardone. His place actually has its own portfolio.
Over the years, Cardone's home has been featured on HBO's Entourage, as well as shows like Toucher & Rich and Selling LA. It's not surprising that Cardone would have an impressive piece of property. Although he's best known as a sales training and business expert, Cardone himself has been involved in about $200 million worth of real estate deals. He's also been featured on TV (without his home) and has best-selling books as part of his impressive resume.
With his family growing, Cardone and his wife (actress Elena Lyons) considered selling and moving out of the West Los Angeles neighborhood. Instead, he's opting for a $2 million renovation on the home, which is currently valued at about $17 million. "I'm going to take the house from a Mediterranean villa to real contemporary," he says. "Because that's what sells here."
Not that Cardone is sold on selling—and we can't exactly blame him. Leonardo DiCaprio and Dr. Dre are just two of his A-list neighbors.
With a community watch like that, it's no wonder that surrounding homes in this California neighborhood have gone for $20 million, with others in the area commanding twice that price. However, that's just one of the many reasons this is one hot home. It probably has a lot to do with some of Cardone's many tech-based amenities.
When Cardone moved in, the home had plenty of interesting electronic items, such as a remote-controlled moving wall that can turn his bedroom into a safe room. Also, the home has its share of skylights—55 to be exact. However, Cardone counts the two remote-controlled ones as his favorite tech-enhanced areas of the home. "My friends like it too, because they don't have to get killed by my cigars," he says.
There was also an incredibly unique security system, which Cardone still uses. Of course, it covers the basics, such as windows and the surrounding property. The twist here, however, is that this home has a security system inside the pool, which provides access into the house.
Yes, swimmers can enjoy the entire length of the backyard and enter through the kitchen or the master bathroom, and into a Jacuzzi. That's a very cool amenity, but it also opens up the house to intruders—or at least it used to. Previous owner and music icon Lionel Richie had the special security system installed, to keep predators and crazed fans at bay. "It's an electronic security gate that drops into the pool," Cardone says. "That way, somebody can't crawl the wall, which is 20 feet, jump into the swimming pool, and swim underneath at night… I've been to hundreds of homes and I've never seen this feature."
Cardone also added some of his own high-tech enhancements. "We added Crestron throughout the house," he says. That includes both wall-mounted pads and two remotes for control while moving through the house. The Creston is connected to whole-house audio, as well as video, an intercom system, automated drapes, security, and lighting.
Some of the home's AV feeds into a theater room, which doubles as a library. Located right off the master bedroom, the room features a projector and a 10-foot drop-down screen. All of the other equipment, which includes Blu-ray and DVD players, an amp and a receiver, are located down the hallway in a separate room. Cardone says that the setup is mainly used for movies. "I like things where people get killed or blown up," he says, citing Braveheart as his all-time favorite. "The other one, which makes me cry every time I watch it, is Armageddon," he laughs. "I've seen Armageddon at least 11 times and have cried all 11 times."
Other current features on Cardone's home include speakers inside and out, 14-foot ceilings, and Skype set up on computers and iPads for keeping in touch with family from the road. Besides being able to enjoy the pool with his children, another favorite feature is Cardone's automated humidor.
Cardone says that some of the high-tech additions enhance his home, making it almost ageless. "It really stands the test of time," he says. "You walk in and it feels like a new home, but it's not."

Shell is positioning itself to be at the head of an oil-rush into the Arctic, in expectation that climate change will continue to drive up the average Arctic summer ice melt, and so make drilling in the region easier. Oil spills are virtually impossible to clean up in Arctic conditions.

text: One of the weirdest records ever on ESP – a dreamy mix of vocals from this family-based group – set to jazz-based instrumentation, over rhythms that range from funky to bossa! The singing's a bit rough at times, but that's part of the charm – as The Leavitts have an earnest, honest approach to their music – a bit of a message in some of the lyrics, and a fair bit of poetic imagery too – done with an approach that's somewhere in the territory of The Free Design, but not nearly as polished! Music is handled by a very hip batch of players – including Chick Corea on piano, Pete Yellin on flute, and Ronnie Cuber on baritone sax – all musicians who add great sounds to the group's own work on guitar, and give the record a solid instrumental grounding. Pretty amazing stuff, and a lot more charming than you might expect – with tracks that include "The Saints Of My City Are Children", "Fun City", "Notes So High", "Candy", "Once I Had A Little Duck", "Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most", and "O Amor Em Paz". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Post subject: US Nano Centre Generates an Economic Impact of $1.1 Billion
[b]University at Albanys Nano Centre Generates an Economic Impact of $1.1 Billion, Says New York State Office of Science and Academic Research[/b]
The Center for Advanced Technology in Nanomaterials and Nanoelectronics (CATN2) at the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) of the University at Albany-SUNY has used $7 million in state investments to generate an economic impact of $1.1 billion, according to the New York State Office of Science, Technology and Academic Research (NYSTAR).
The most recent figures available from NYSTAR show that the CNSE CATN2 created 1,104 high-tech jobs and retained another 384 from 1997 through 2004. During that time, New York State invested $7 million in the center, which generated an overall economic impact of $1,116,734,848.
In related news, preliminary figures from the U.S. Department of Labor reveal that the rate of job growth in the Tech Valley area was significantly higher than the national average between 2000 and 2005, with jobs growing by an estimated 1.1 percent in the Capital Region during that period, as compared to an estimated increase of 0.1 percent nationally.
In addition, Tech Valley saw one of the nations largest positive jumps in an annual survey measuring where jobs are being created in America, as published by the prominent economic think tank the Milken Institute. In its just-released report entitled Americas Best Performing Cities, the Milken Institute rated the Albany-Schenectady-Troy area 66th in 2005, up from 131st in 2004 with the year-to-year rise of 65 places ranking 10th among the countrys 200 largest metro areas.
Led by the University at Albanys College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering, New York States nanotechnology initiative is pioneering a new model that is turning public and private investment into significant economic impact, said David Warren, executive vice president and chief financial officer of NASDAQ. There is a clear and direct relationship between the investment in CNSEs Albany NanoTech complex and a rate of job growth in the Capital Region that is multiple times higher than the national average. In addition, the ability to turn $7 million in NYSTAR funding into $1 billion of economic impact is proof positive that nanotechnology is having a large effect on the economic landscape of New York state.
The nanotechnology initiative at the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering of the University at Albany is certainly a primary enabler of the fact that job growth in the Capital Region has meaningfully outpaced the national average over the past five years, said Hugh Johnson, chairman of Johnson Illington Advisors LLC. Employment at the NanoCollege's Albany NanoTech complex has grown significantly, through local hiring and the attraction of global companies; firms that supply goods and services to the facility have realized the benefits of increased opportunities; and, the spin-off effects have positively impacted a variety of sectors, from software to service. It is quite clear that New Yorks nanotechnology strategy is paying dividends, both for the Capital Region and New York state.
This is clear evidence that New York States investment in nanotechnology research, development and deployment, as championed by Governor Pataki, Speaker Silver and Senator Bruno, is paying dividends, said Dr. Alain E. Kaloyeros, vice president and chief administrative officer of CNSE. Global companies are being drawn to New York, leading to in-sourcing of high-tech jobs and a significant economic impact. At the same time, New York is gaining recognition as a leader in the emerging field of nanotechnology, led by the world-class people and facilities at CNSEs Albany NanoTech complex.
The CATN2 is a strategic partnership between premier research universities and the nanoelectronics, optoelectronics, telecommunications, defense and nanobiotechnology industry clusters in New York state. The centers mission is to provide industry with critical research and development, business assistance, work force training and economic outreach within a technically aggressive and financially competitive environment.
The CATN2 is built on the strong foundation, infrastructure and entrepreneurial experience of its predecessor, the Center for Advanced Thin Film Technologies (CATFT). Established in 1993, CATFT established close ties with a significant network of nanoelectronics, nanotechnology, bioelectronics and telecom companies in New York, with the intention of eliminating historic barriers to inter-university projects with corporate partners. CATN2 currently leverages the specialist knowledge of each university within the consortium, whose members include the University at Albany-SUNY, Alfred University, Binghamton University-SUNY, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University and Stony Brook University-SUNY.
The main hub of the CATN2 is at the Albany NanoTech complex, one of the largest centers for nanotechnology research and development in the world and home to CNSE and the New York State Center of Excellence in Nanoelectronics (NYSCEN). CATN2 can access Albany NanoTechs fully-integrated, 450,000-square-foot mega complex, which houses a unique 200mm/300mm wafer nanofab with over 65,000 square feet of class 1 cleanroom facilities that are unparalleled in the academic world.
The consortium campuses significantly augment this complex with satellite facilities, each focusing on specialized areas to create an integrated network that serves the research, development and business expansion goals of New York State. These include solid state optical devices ( Alfred University), telecom/wireless devices (University at Stony Brook), nanosystems packaging ( Binghamton University) and biomedical devices/sensors (Albert Einstein College of Medicine).
About CNSE
The College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering at the University at Albany-SUNY is the first college in the world devoted exclusively to the development and deployment of innovative nanoscience, nanoengineering and nanoeconomics concepts. CNSE is located in the most advanced research complex of its kind at any university in the world.
The $3 billion, 450,000-square-foot complex attracts corporate partners from around the world and offers students a one-of-a-kind academic experience, and it is growing. The complex is also home to CNSEs New York State Center of Excellence in Nanoelectronics.
The CNSE complex, financed through more than $500 million in governmental support and over $2.5 billion in corporate investments, houses the only pilot prototyping facilities in the academic world for the two standard sizes in computer chip design, the 200-millimeter (or 8-inch) wafer, and the 300-millimeter (or 12-inch) wafer. CNSE has more than 150 U.S. and worldwide partners, including some of the worlds largest semiconductor and semiconductor-related tool manufacturing companies.

The Kunstgewerbemuseum (Museum of Decorative Arts) is the oldest of its kind in Germany. It houses world-famous examples of European arts and crafts from the early Middle Ages to the present day as well as outstanding collections of fashion and design, including magnificent reliquaries made of gold and precious gemstones, exquisite vases of glass and porcelain, finely embroidered textiles, ornate inlaid furniture and complete sets of wall panelling such as the Chamber of Mirrors from Schloss Wiesentheid, as well as classic examples of modern industrial design. The permanent and special exhibitions hosted by the Kunstgewerbemuseum can be seen at two locations in Berlin: at the Kulturforum near Potsdamer Platz and in the picturesque setting of Schloss Köpenick on an island on the river Dahme.
In the Baroque palace of Köpenick the Kunstgewerbemuseum presents examples of interior design from the 16th to 18th centuries. The museum at the Kulturforum was completed in 1985 to designs by Rolf Gutbrod, one of the leading German architects in the 1960s. Gutbrod's trademark is that he allowed structural elements of his buildings to remain clearly visible. The museum is conceived as a 'constructed landscape' and together with its greenery makes reference to the adjacent Tiergarten park. While the building has a closed appearance from the outside, it welcomes visitors on the inside with an open stairwell and generous exhibition spaces. Visitors are encouraged to focus completely on the remarkable exhibits in the collection and to wander from one level to the next.
The Museum of Decorative Arts at the Kulturforum is reopen since 22 November 2014.
The Kunstgewerbemuseum offers visitors a comprehensive presentation across two floors of the museum, featuring the great accomplishments of European design and the decorative arts spanning the Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque and Rococo periods to Jugendstil and Art Deco. An entire exhibition space is dedicated to classic design. Visitors can also expect a newly organised gallery of fashion with an extensive exhibition of costumes and accessories from the 18th to 20th century. More.

Earlier today, NASA's John Grotzinger announced in the most mealy-mouthed way possible that the Curiosity rover had made an "earthshaking" discovery on Mars — a discovery that will be "one for the history books."
What did Curiosity find? We don't know. And until Curiosity's data have been double and triple and quadruple checked, it's going to stay that way. On one hand, this makes sense — there's absolutely zero sense in blowing the lid off anything less than a painstakingly substantiated claim. But then why say anything at all? If what you've found really is earthshaking, then why tease about it like some sort of movie spoiler?
I am NOT hiding news from anyone, I promise. And even if I was, I wouldn't tell you. Which I'm not. npr.org/2012/11/20/165…— SarcasticRover (@SarcasticRover) November 20, 2012
Look. This whole thing obviously has us very excited, but we're wary. We're not the only ones who feel this way. If, a few weeks from now, the big reveal is even more evidence of ancient water on Mars, I will personally fly to Pasadena and punch Grotzinger in the brain. Not because more evidence of water on Mars is unimportant or insignificant (Curiosity is a one-ton, six-wheel-drive, nuclear-powered super-laboratory doing science on FUCKING MARS — every single thing it finds is, by definition, a major discovery), but because when most people hear someone say "this is gonna be one for the history books," they expect news that 99% of the population (i.e. someone other than a geologist) can get excited about.
So — because speculating about what the rover's Sample Analysis at Mars instrument has discovered is pretty much pointless, and because it's infinitely more fun than thinking about the prison sentence I'll be serving if the announcement is about Mars' watery past — we now turn to twitter for the internet's best guesses as to what Curiosity has (or maybe hasn't) found on Mars:
Mars tastes like it.
Mars tastes like chicken.#curiositynews— Emily Lakdawalla (@elakdawalla) November 20, 2012
(Emily Lakdawalla is the one who coined the #curiositynews hashtag for predictions about the rover's announcement. She's a goddamn hero.)

text: I am looking to get a new camera for work. I'm a zoo keeper but I am also working on a project where I will be needing to photograph farmland and coastal birds and insects. I therefore need something that deals with macro as well as the 'birds on a cliff face you can't reach' shots. I have done a bit of background reading on the WDC website so I understand a bit more but doesn't really help someone who is so indecisive. Do I go for an entry level DSLR (e.g. Nikon3200) and invest in lenses? Will CSC such as the G5 or NEX-6 be just as good and easier to carry? Or are their interchangeable lenses limited at present? Or is the super zoom bridge the best for wildlife shots and I take my compact with me for close up insects? I always think users opinions are better than glossy advertisements so I welcome any advice. Thank you.

Let's face it, nerds are the new cool kids (see: Mark Zuckerberg, Biz Stone, Bill Gates, and every other "under 30 millionaire"), So why not encourage your child's inner science geek with an amazing summer camp from Destination Science - Morgan Hill.
Robots, rockets, physics, chemistry, energy, and inventions; Oh My! These camps are perfect for the inquisitive kiddo who loves to explore, engage, and figure out how things work (like when she took apart your hair dryer!). Camps will include new projects, fun group games, and energetic instructors, all in a safe neighborhood location. Destination Science introduces campers to science in their own world and teaches them to see things around them differently.
Your child can have up to four exciting weeks of hands-on scientific adventure from 9am to 3:30pm, with extended hours available for an additional fee. Classes consist of roughly 14 kids ages 5-11, who are grouped by grade.
Time to experiment with an awesome summer camp that will spark your mini-Einstein's interest in science, or fan the flames. Good news for you, bad news for your hair dryer!
Destination Science recruits kid-friendly educators to guide these science leaders of tomorrow through the best summer of their lives. Their educators are top-notch teachers and university students with the highest aptitude for science and the ability to not just relate to kids, but to be kids at heart themselves! Each staff member undergoes a series of reference and background checks, interviews, and comprehensive trainings before beginning their Destination Science journey.

The material and functions of the jacket were great. However, the cut was horrible. The bulky seams that run underneath the armpits made it so uncomfortable I couldn't even put my arms down at my sides. Bummer, because the design is really cute.

As the year winds down, we thought we'd take a moment to reflect on '09's finest moments on the red carpet. The following ladies have rocked our fashion world this year and without a doubt you have your own favorite glam occassion, so let us know who got you all in a fashion fluster below. So without further ado and (in the words of Dermot) in no particular order, here's our top red carpet moments of 2009...
The Cinderella moment
What a year it's been for Freida Pinto. She starred in an Oscar-winning film, was snapped up as the new face of L'Oréal Paris and became the must-have FROW guest - taking pride of place at Burberry, Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Dolce & Gabbana (phew!). But the moment that cemented the rising star's fashion credentials was on the BAFTA red carpet when she looked resplendent in an Oscar De La Renta gown (which the designer made to order) flowing over her Jimmy Choo heels and accessorized with a Judith Leiber encrusted clutch and 18th century Fred Leighton jewels. Gorgeous, glowing and graceful, the actress knows how to look pretty in pink and work layers of tulle without coming over all Barbie-fied. And what a style evolution Freida's been on since - from 'Slumdog' to glam starlet, she really is living the dream.
The everyone's gone Gaga moment
Praised for creating the most influential sound of 2009, Lady Gaga has been on full throttle this year and when it comes to her style, she can always be counted on for sheer dedication to the fashion cause. We admit that initially we saw the popstrel as a second rate Christina Aguilera screwed up on Boombox, especially after she confessed that her style is inspired by 'strippers and trannies', but as the outfits got more outlandish and the flesh-flashing more risqué, we were hooked on the anticipation of what Lady G would dare to wear next… And when it comes to her red carpet looks, La G continues to channel the boundary-pushing and controversy-courting get-ups that have made her performances so notorious. Just check out this bonkers ensemble that she wore to the MTV VMAs in September, complete with a feathered Keko Hainswheeler neck brace and leather corset belt over her lace Jean Paul Gaultier gown and topped off with a crushed velvet top hat and a 'Phantom of the Opera'-inspired face mask. Well why not?! So although this is one outfit Grazia won't try style-jacking, we've already added a crystal-encrusted leotard and an oversized hair bow to the top of our Christmas wish list… Fashiontastic!
The va-va-voom moment
What's the best way to let the world know your man ain't going nowhere without saying a word? Ramp up your style status by wearing a show-stopping dress of course! That's exactly what Angelina Jolie did when she arrived in Cannes to remind the world that her and hubby Brad Pitt's reportedly rocky relationship was still going strong. Step forward this nude Versace Atelier gown complete with sultry chiffon draping and daring thigh-high slit that made an unmistakable statement. We love that this look defies the safe black/beige ensembles Ange has become famous for and although it oozes serious sexiness, the loose waves and bold lips create a touch of old school Hollywood glamour for a softer, feminine edge. So take note ladies because this is the ultimate masterclass in red carpet revenge. Jennifer who?
The cool chic moment
As self-confessed fans, what can we say about Diane Kruger that we haven't said before? Grazia's style obsession with the actress is well documented and we often turn to her for dressing directions when we're in need of some style inspiration. From her colourful Cannes wardrobe to her FROW ensembles, Diane has a great eye for putting outfits together to mix her signature cool with an air of Hollywood glamour. The actress' first wow moment of '09 came at the CFDA Awards when the sartorial star donned a custom-made Jason Wu faille dress. The vibrant colour? Divine. The Swarovski embroidered epaulets? Superb. The Roger Vivier black satin sandals and matching clutch? Absolute perfection. And when your ensemble puts the rest of the fash pack in the shade, you know you're onto a good thing. Well, we wouldn't expect anything less from the lady who describes Karl Lagerfeld as "like a dad"! We can't wait to see what Diane has up her very fashionable sleeve next year…
The magic moment
How much do we want this girl's wardrobe? Ever since she made the fashion world sit up and take notice when she ditched the wizard cloak and wand to star in the Burberry ad campaigns, Emma Watson has emerged as a leading fashion force. But Team Grazia has been on Watson-watch for quite a while now. Why? Well the 19-year-old actress' beautiful taste in shapes and silhouettes belies her age and she sure knows how to work high-fashion pieces with confidence – facts that have sealed her fate as one of Karl's fave girls. But Emma really out did herself earlier this year when she walked the red carpet in London dressed in a floor-sweeping vintage Ossie Clark gown at the 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' premiere. We were in absolute awe of this ethereal look and even though the British weather caused an unexpected knicker flash, she handled the mishap with the grace and composure she's come to epitomise. Spellbinding!
Plus, don't forget to check out the gallery below for more of our favourite fashion moments…
