The joint owners of Scandlines are mulling the sale of Germany's biggest ferry line in 2013 in a move likely accelerate the consolidation of the North European and Baltic short sea shipping market.
3i, a London-listed private equity group, and Allianz Capital Partners, a unit of German insurance giant Allianz, are said to have put a 1.4 billion euros [$1.8 billion] price on the company.
The two partners and minority investor German shipowner Deutsche Seerederei bought Scandlines from the German and Danish state railways for nearly $2 billion in 2007. They bought out Deutsche Seerederei's 20 percent stake in 2010.
The planned sale, which is likely to attract interest from established short sea shipping lines and private equity firms, follows Scandlines recent exit from the Baltic Sea freight market to focus on passengers.
Five Baltic Sea routes were sold to Sweden's Stena Line for an undisclosed amount in May followed by the sale of two routes and three roll-on, roll-off vessels to Swedish Orient Line in August.
Scandlines carried 830,000 trucks and trailers, 2.7 million cars and 12 million passengers between Germany, Denmark and Sweden in 2011. It booked a net profit of $13 million and an operating profit $237 million on revenue of $795 million.

Sneaker News NINE@NINE: Underrated Reebok Pump Collabs by John Kim 0 Comments
August 2, 2013 BY Brendan Dunne / 0
Ask anybody who originally wore the Reebok Pump Omni Lite and they'll tell you about how Dee Brown made it famous in the 1991 NBA Slam Dunk Contest with a few pumps and a soaring dunk. Reebok has been as aggressive as ever releasing some of their most classic sneakers from the Reebok Shaqnosis to Shawn Kemp's Reebok Kamikaze, which begs the question: what else could Reebok possibly have in store? Reebook answers back with the Omni Lite in two new colorways based on white uppers that sees the toe box hit with either a red or black accent with the new addition of an icy blue transparent sole. Continue reading for a better look and pick up your pair today from select retailers like Sneaker Bistro.

Suzanne Wagner, Learning and Development Manager at Rentokil North America, is the recipient of the scholarship from the Professional Women in Pest Management.
FAIRFAX, Va. — The National Pest Management Association's (NPMA) affiliate organization Professional Women in Pest Management (PWIPM), is pleased to announce the recipient of the 2013 PWIPM Scholarship is Suzanne Wagner, Learning and Development Manager at Rentokil North America in Reading, Pennsylvania.
"As a female, I anticipate that women will expand the pest management industry roles they are in now, and also further expand into new roles. This bodes well for the industry as a whole, since women are well suited to serve in all areas within the field," said Wagner in her scholarship essay. "Women have a unique perspective and voice to add to the pest control conversation and I predict that their impact will grow as they expand their roles across the board."
"PWIPM is proud to award Suzanne with the 2013 scholarship," said PWIPM Chairwoman Marie Horner. "She is a fantastic candidate and it is rewarding to know that our organization is able to not only assist in advancing her career, but also to support the future generations of the pest management industry."
As the recipient of the annual scholarship, Wagner will receive funding to further her career, as well as a trip to Phoenix for PestWorld 2013. The scholarship will be awarded there at the Professional Women In Pest Management reception on Wednesday, October 23, 2013.
The National Pest Management Association (NPMA) is seeking a qualified regulatory affairs professional to direct the day-to-day management and execution of NPMA's federal and state regulatory affairs programs
The company has been selected by the National Park Service to install and maintain effective termite control systems for 14 national historic sites in the Delaware Valley, including Independence Hall.
Research from North Carolina State University shows that some insect pests are thriving in warm, urban environments and developing earlier, limiting the impact of parasitoid wasps that normally help keep those pest populations in check.
When female fruit flies have to decide where to lay their eggs, they take their lead from what they see most others in their group do, new research shows.
During Entomology 2014, ESA's annual meeting in Portland, Ore., Dr. Berenbaum was presented with specimens of a new cockroach named after her.

BlackBerry-maker RIM ditches 16-gig PlayBook
BlackBerry-maker RIM said it's ditching its least powerful model of PlayBook. But the Waterloo company said it remains committed to the tablet market.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Research in Motion Ltd. is abandoning its lowest-priced PlayBook computer but says it remains committed to the "tablet space" and will continue to build the more powerful versions of the 7-inch device.
"There is more value for our customers in the higher capacity models (32 GB, 64 GB), and as such we have decided to focus our efforts here," the Waterloo-based company said in an email.
"The 16 GB PlayBook will continue to be available for distributors and retailers while quantities last. We continue to remain committed to the tablet space and the 32 GB and 64 GB models of the BlackBerry PlayBook continue to be available from our distributors and retailers around the world."
RIM said it will no longer produce the 16 GB version, which retails for $199, compared to the 32 GB at $249 and the 64 GB for $299, and will discontinue the product once inventory at distributors and retailers can be cleared.
RIM in December took a $360 million (U.S.) after-tax charge on unsold PlayBooks after heavy discounting on the tablet, with analysts saying the company was losing money on the low-end device after the price cuts.
Sales of the PlayBook have been dwarfed by the market leading Apple iPad and a host of other devices including the Amazon Kindle Fire and Android OS models led by the Samsung Galaxy Tab.
The PlayBook was released in April 2011 to mostly positive reviews of its hardware but tough criticism for its lack of basic functions including a calendar and built in email, and the absence of the popular BBM text messaging service.
The email and calendar shortfalls were remedied in February after significant delays when the company released its PlayBook OS 2.0 saying it would add support for BBM in a future software upgrade.
The PlayBook is a Wi-Fi enabled device powered by the QNX software embedded in the operating system running RIM's BB 10 smartphones that are expected to be launched in October or November.
RIM acquired Kanata-based QNX Software Systems from Hartman Inc. for an undisclosed sum about a year before the PlayBook launch.
RIM's practice of buying technologies means the BB10 phones will be a "patchwork" of hardware and software obtained through acquisitions and licensing deals, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal.
The paper says RIM licensed the BB10 phones' camera technology from Scalado of Sweden and its "predicative" touch screen keyboard from the U.K.'s TouchType.
Acquiring smaller companies for their technology and research is not uncommon but the Journal points out that RIM faces a challenge in integrating the technologies as it readies its shift to a new OS and a new family of phones.

Product Description
Embryonic stem cells have been hot-button topics in recent years, generating intense public interest as well as much confusion and misinformation. In this Very Short Introduction, leading authority Jonathan Slack offers a clear and informative overview of stem cells--what they are, what scientists do with them, what stem cell therapies are available today, and how they might be used in the future. Slack explains the difference between embryonic stem cells, which exist only in laboratory cultures, and tissue-specific stem cells, which exist in our bodies, and he discusses how embryonic stem cells may be used in the future to treat such illnesses as diabetes, Parkinson's disease, heart disease, spinal trauma, and retinal degeneration. But he stresses that, despite important advances, the clinical applications of stem cells are still in their infancy and that most real stem cell therapy today is some form of bone marrow transplantation. Slack concludes by analyzing how medical innovation has occurred in this area in recent years and he draws out some of the lessons for the development of new therapies in the future.

#OpKKK – WSWiR Episode 130
Emergency Windows Patch, Malware Vs. Passwords, and #OpKKK
Nowadays, researchers, hackers, and the media bombard us with tons of information security (InfoSec) news each week. There's so much, it's hard to keep up—especially when it's not your primary job. However, I believe everyone needs to be aware of the latest InfoSec threats. If you want to protect your network, follow our weekly video so I can quickly get you up to speed every Friday.
Today's episode covers a critical out-of-cycle Microsoft patch, talks about the latest updates to a nasty piece of mobile malware, and explores the ethical issues surrounding a recent Anonymous attack campaign, Operation KKK. Press play for the details, and see the references below for more stories.
As an aside, after shooting this week's video, I learned attackers may have stolen a bunch of passwords from many popular online services. It may be a hoax, but if you use Windows Live, PSN, or 2K Games, you should probably change you password… just to be safe. Have a great weekend!

Body Mass Index BMI-what it means to your health
in Health
National Institutes of Health changed what it means to be overweight, defining it as a BMI (body mass index) of 25 or greater for adults. The cut-off had been 28 for men and 27 for women, so suddenly about 29 million Americans who had been considered normal became overweight even though they hadn't gained an ounce. what is the real meaning of BMI and to note its potential drawbacks: labelling some healthy people as overweight or obese who are not overly fat, and failing to distinguish between dangerous and innocuous distributions of body fat. Many people with BMI levels at the low end of normal are less healthy than those now considered overweight. And some people who are overly fat according to their BMI are just as healthy as those considered to be of normal weight. Tune in for the real information of BMI.
in Family
WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON BMI AND CHILDREN ??? I have been procrastinating over the lat two weeks over things to write here in my blog. I actually have quite a few things to write about, but have been remiss in doing so. But this morning while watching the news they talked about schools sending children home with letters about them being over weight or having the tendency to be over weight. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!
I watched the news as the government shut down and other catastrophes happened and felt empathetic and shook my head and prayed and sent healing energies plus other things ….. but this morning I felt and still do this strong urge to speak up!!!
It's one thing to test adults and say things to and about adults, but it's entirely another thing when you start picking on children! It's hard enough being a child and being bullied and picked on by other children… and now adults are getting on the band wagon to attack our children … the future generation !!! Come on, don't you remember when you were a child !?!
I say educate adults about nutrition and exercise, they are the ones responsible for making theses rules and buying the food. Adults control what works and what doesn't. Adults decide who stays and who leaves…..
WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON THIS !!??!!?www.celestial-energies.com
Together we can and will make a global difference !!!

Curtis Harwell Debates Fat loss Versus What Weight Loss Really Means
in Fitness
Weight loss is one of the hottest topics ever. Everyone seems to be trying to lose weight nowadays. But what's the difference between weight loss & fat loss? People seem to use both terms interchangeably. After reading this post you'll understand the difference between weight loss & fat loss, but also which one you should aim for and how.
Weight Loss vs. Fat Loss. What's the difference? Let's start by defining weight loss & fat loss so you know what I mean here. Weight Loss. You want to lower your body-weight, the sum weight of your bones, muscles, organs, body fat, … Fat Loss. You want to lower your body fat, the amount of fat your body carries. Healthy goals are 10% body fat for men and 15% for women. Problems with Weight Loss. If you want to lose weight, it's most likely because you carry too much fat. There are people who must lose weight, like athletes before a competition, but most want fat loss. So stop weighing yourself. Unreliable. Your body-weight can fluctuate daily since it's influenced by your stomach/bowel/bladder content, water loss/retention, muscle loss/gain, fat loss/gain, … You'll have no idea what's going on. Irrelevant. 2 people with similar height can weigh the same, but look completely different because one has lower body fat than the the other. Check the picture at the top for an example. The last point shows why the BMI standard is flawed: it doesn't take your body fat into account. Both guys in the top picture have the same BMI, but one is clearly healthier: his body fat is lower.

Kiler Davenport Live: Interview with Bradford Loomis and Beth Whitney
When artists Beth Whitney and Bradford Loomis began writing together, they had no idea their casual co-writing experiment would blossom into the much anticipated album The Banner Days (releasing August 23rd on MTS Records). That first night, they wrote "My Beloved" in two hours. And after a few more writing sessions, it was clear to both, that these songs merited a bold decision. From the first time they played together, along with Beth's husband/collaborator, Aaron Fishburn, the chemistry has been powerful. The combination of Beth's delicate, pure, and melodious voice and Bradford's soulful, growling tone makes for a beautifully heart wrenching harmonious blend. Their dramatic crescendos, minimalist intensity, through intricate harmonies have elicited comparisons to The Civil Wars, the Swell Season, and Robert Plant and Alison Krauss' Raising Sand. With equal parts sweetly anthemic, pop tinged folk, provided by Beth, and Bradford's gritty, passionate Americana Roots sound, The Banner Days is an intrepid step for both artists.

Homeland Security Secretary says SBInet has been plagued with delays
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano today explained the administration's rationale for requesting significantly less money for fiscal 2011 for a program that uses information technology to secure the United States' southern border.
Napolitano told members of the House Homeland Security Committee that DHS' Customs and Border Protection directorate would complete the first phase of the SBInet program to deploy a virtual fence along the border, but said that project delays and difficulties demanded a fresh look at the program before going further.
The Secure Border Initiative and the SBInet virtual fence program would get $574.17 million under President Barack Obama's proposed 2011 budget. That's down sharply from the $800 million the program got in fiscal 2010.

Virtual border fence would lose under budget
In January Napolitano requested a reassessment of the program. Boeing, the prime contractor for the project, got the SBInet contract in September 2006.
Napolitano said requested funding for technology-related border security efforts would instead go to things that are easily maintained and more operable by border control agents. Meanwhile, Napolitano said the reassessment doesn't signal lessening of the department's commitment to using SBInet or another kind of technology along the border.
"Look, that's a big investment, there's a lot of money, it's presumed to have cell tower after cell tower after cell tower across some of the most hostile aspects of the United States in terms of geography and weather and the like," she said. "It has been very difficult to deploy, it has been very difficult to operate…we think it deserves and merits a fresh look."

Take a drive from Tucson on the Ajo Highway to the Mexican border at Lukesville and its easy to see why SBINet is flawed. Even if the cameras and sensors work as advertised, the terrain is so harsh that building and maintenance costs will always be excessively high. The vitual fence should be scrapped. Drones would be far more cost effective and could provide broader coverage more rapidly.
VivaLaMigra commented "they wouldn't be wasting taxpayer money on this "virtual" fence that will STOP VIRTUALLY NO ONE!" ============Obviously this person knows little about the terrain of the southern border or about the advantages of technology. A physical fence would not be feasible on much of the border and as experienced where there is a fence can be dug under, climbed over, etc. A virtual fence uses technology to identify those crossing the border and can track until they are apprehended by the border patrol.
While everyone is blaming Boeing for the delays, it should be known that there have been lengthy delays caused by DHS failing to secure 'right of ways' to allow construction on the sites. In multiple cases DHS has secured the wrong 'right of way' tracts that subsequently didn't allow Boeing to construct towers where they were designated, and further delays resulted while getting access to the right plots of land. DHS has also changed the statement of work multiple times, which forced Boeing to re-engineer certain aspects of the program. DHS is just trying to cover their butts on an ill defined program.
The SBInet program manager running the program now for Napolitano is a retired military acquisition officer. Too bad he is stuck with the bad contractor that was selected before he got there. They haven't been willing to move away from Boeing but maybe they will finally after repeated failures.
Nappy and the mis-administration have no intention of securing the border. If they did, they wouldn't be wasting taxpayer money on this "virtual" fence that will STOP VIRTUALLY NO ONE! They'd be BUILDING the double-layered REAL fence that Congress MANDATED the DHS secretary to build. They're thumbing their nose at the LAW and the US Congress. And members of Congress are too spineless to hold her in contempt. She should be LOCKED UP until the fence construction is done.

It seems as though food allergies have become more prevalent in the last few years. When my mother first told me she had celiac disease, I didn't understand what she was talking about. I thought it might be something she could get rid of, but that's not the case with most food allergies. After learning that celiac disease was basically a gluten sensitivity, I began to understand that my mom would have to make a lifestyle change if she wanted to feel better.
While food allergies are different for everyone, nearly 15 million Americans are living with them. According to the infographic, food allergies affect 1 in every 13 children, a number that has been increasing over the last 20 years. Although these numbers are significant, they don't necessarily encompass those people who suffer from sensitivities or intolerances to certain allergy-inducing foods.
The eight most common foods that cause an allergic reaction include milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, wheat, fish and shellfish. I have been lactose intolerant for as long as I can remember, but I am currently trying to determine if I am sensitive to gluten or dairy through an elimination diet. Being dairy free is especially hard, but I've been learning a lot about myself and how my body reacts to certain foods.
If you're worried that you might be suffering from a food allergy or sensitivity, do your research and talk to your healthcare provider. Don't let food allergies prevent you from enjoying your meals.

Thanksgiving Day is not that far away and thoughts loom over the turkey and all its fixings. Thanksgiving Day is also a day to give thanks, enjoy time with friends and family, and watch football. It is also a day to reach to others who are in need. In the end, everyone will eat a whole lot of calories.
There are certain exercises you can do to prevent these calories from accumulating. Exercises like the Turkey Trots make it possible to indulge to your heart's content without adding on those extra pounds. Another is joining a gym to exercise those pounds away.
This infographic shows how much exercise you need to do to burn off those calories. A half cup of homemade stuffing is 180 calories and equals to 30 minutes of Pilates. The delicious mashed potatoes and gravy is 300 calories and equals to 60 sets of 10 Burpees. (I looked up what a burpee was, and they looked hard to do.) Lastly a roll with butter – I like them fresh from the oven – is 180 calories and equals to 18 sets of 20 pushups.
Have fun and eat to your stomach's content, but remember how much exercise it will take to burn those calories.

Oh, I miss those college days when my body seemed to be able to consume anything and not gain a gram of extra weight. What happened to those days? Why can't we be 18 forever? Alcohol is one of the largest contributors to weight gain for adults of all ages. Why? Well it's tasty, it's got a habit of making the consumer want more, and finally, it's FULL of calories.
So you're into the craft beer scene, I see. Really love those full-bodied, hoppy, alcoholic IPAs? Those are the worst thing you could drink. You could literally eat a pie instead of drinking three Dogfish Head's 90 Minute IPAs. But pies don't get you drunk now, do they?
Here's some advice for keeping your calorie count down when you're out having a few. Guinness is one of the more healthy beers out there. Luckily, it's also delicious. When it comes to wine, keep it red and not too intense. For liquor, stick with a vodka soda, or if you're hardcore, a vodka water.
Watching my calories has been a new level to growing up I don't seem to enjoy, but like everything else. educating myself has helped with the transition. [via]

I've only started to enjoy alone time these last couple of years. Throughout my childhood and adolescence, I always felt weird about being without friends in a social setting. Like the strangers there would judge me for being alone. Recently, I've thrown those thoughts out, and revel in the enjoyment of no distraction.
Although my main goal is to get into the habit of seeing movies solo, I've not yet done it. I have found myself eating a lot more by myself. There's something nice about enjoying a great meal, focusing on inner thoughts of the flavor aspects in the food, and aesthetics of the eatery. The sounds from fellow patrons, the ting-ing of silverware on plates, the hum of the air conditioning, and laughter sprouting here and there. These things are lost when with company. My thoughts are with the conversation, paying attention to my friend's body language and opinions.
Socializing is great, I truly enjoy it – but I'm glad I can enjoy myself as well. [via]

As someone in the communication profession, I read a lot of writing. And edit a lot of writing. And do a lot of writing. Sometimes, even I get confused over which words to use, especially if I've been editing or writing for a long period of time. It happens to everyone, and in most cases, it can be easily fixed.
If you're unsure about grammar usage or spelling, the best thing to do is Google it. In this technology-driven, fast-paced world, you can ask a question and find an answer much sooner than you can walk to your bookshelf, pull down a dictionary, flip to the T chapter, and find 'that.' Not that there is anything wrong with looking up words in the dictionary. But if you're like me and aren't certain where you put your dictionary, you're better off using that laptop.
Although I know a thing or two about grammar and spelling, I still find myself looking up the difference between 'affect' and 'effect' occasionally. I know that 'affect' is a verb and 'effect' is a noun, but it's easy to confuse the two in some sentences. Lucky for us, today's handy infographic shows some of the more common misspelled or misused words.
The information below may affect the way you use some of these words, or at least clear up any confusion. However, if you don't read it all the way through, it may have no effect on you at all. (See what I did there?)

Well, dear readers: do you want the good news ... or the bad news? Let me get the bad news out of the way first. I've been working on a new fact sheet for my readers (that's actually the good news - but more about that in a minute); and as part of my research, I've discovered that I haven't been completely clear in some past columns when explaining the coordination between taking reduced benefits on your own Social Security record and any possible benefits you might be due on your spouse's Social Security record.

Mt. Fuji poised to get World Heritage statusMay 1, 2013 @ 12:19 am
TOKYO (AP) - Japan's iconic Mt. Fuji looks likely to win recognition as a World Heritage site.
The Agency for Cultural Affairs issued a notice Wednesday saying it had received notification that Mt. Fuji was recommended for World Heritage status by the International Council on Monuments and Sites, a body affiliated with UNESCO.
Formal approval is expected in June at a World Heritage Committee meeting in Cambodia.
A collection of cultural sites in Kamakura, a scenic town near Tokyo, were not recommended.
Mt. Fuji would be Japan's 13th cultural World Heritage site. The 3,776-meter (12,388-foot) volcanic peak is ringed by lakes, national parks, temples and shrines. It rises from the Pacific coast and is seen as a sacred part of Japan's cultural landscape.
About 300,000 people follow religious pilgrims of centuries past in climbing Mt. Fuji each year, according to the Japan National Tourism Organization, most of them crowding into a brief summer climbing season.
