Biography Sheds New Light on David Ben-Gurion's Place in Jewish History
JNS.org – There is one sentence in "Ben-Gurion: Father of Modern Israel" that made me sit up in surprise. I thought that I knew the basic facts about how Israel came into being, but while describing what it was like in the days and hours before the state was declared, author Anita Shapira provides one important anecdote I was not aware of. On the 12th of May, the Zionist Executive met to decide what to do. Moshe Sharrett had just returned [...]Read more →

'Death of Klinghoffer' Actress Compares Met Opera to 'Schindler's List'
An actress starring in the controversial Met Opera The Death of Klinghoffer defended the show on Tuesday by comparing it to the 1993 Holocaust film Schindler's List, New York Post reported. "To me, this was like [the movie] Schindler's List. We make art so people won't forget,'' said the actress, who plays a captured passenger in the show and asked not to be identified. The Met Opera focuses on the infamous murder of Lower East Side Jewish resident Leon Klinghoffer, 69. The wheelchair-bound father of [...]Read more →

Beyond 'Klinghoffer': Opera's Composer, Librettist Have Broader Jewish Problem
JNS.org – One of the most controversial operas in recent memory, "The Death of Klinghoffer," debuted Oct. 20 at New York's Metropolitan Opera. The Met has scheduled seven more performances through November. The first staging did not occur without protest, as about 400 demonstrators—including Jewish communal and nationally recognized leaders—came to Lincoln Center to denounce the anti-Jewish and anti-Israel opera. "Klinghoffer," the creation of composer John Adams and librettist Alice Goodman, premiered in 1991—with few additional stagings. The opera is based [...]Read more →

When Corsair released its H50 CPU cooler last year, it impressed all of the critics – including us. So much so, that we even have multiple units in our lab for our test beds. It was with great interest when the H70 was released, then, as it improves on the previous design in numerous ways. But is it enough to compete with current competition?
Recently, most of the cooling products I have taken a look at have all preformed quite well, and that just leaves me with only one way to describe the H70: phenomenal! Corsair has done its homework and delivered a great product with a good value of around $100 US. While this is somewhat higher than the direct competition, it is hard to fathom that those looking for that last degree of temperature drop would be disappointed.
Cooling performance speaks for itself so loudly, it could be considered shouting. With the heat output of the Intel Core i5-750 pushing it to the limits, the H70 had no problem beating out the competition in both air and water categories. My configuration is not setup to aid the coolers in their job, so they are forced to all the work themselves. In this environment, the H70 had no problems getting the job done.
As for the size, I am very pleased with the power to space ratio. So many air coolers are unreasonably large, so they interfere with most of the other components and peripherals that surround the CPU socket. There is nothing worse than trying to install something that just does not physically fit the space it must occupy. To me, coolers like the H70 use the most logical space and don't intrude elsewhere.
A long standing complaint of the H50 and similar coolers is that we usually only get a single fan to do the job. Corsair has listened to those cries and has supplied dual fans for even further flexibility. If you have the space then running two fans is always better than one, but it is also nice to have the option to easily remove one should it be necessary due to space constraints. Let's face it… the last thing anyone wants to do is be forced to purchase an additional fan and hope that it will work well with the other.
The main weakness of the H70 is noise. Most all-in-one water solutions tend to run very quietly, although temperatures usually suffer because of this. I found the fans here to be noisy at full load, albeit remain tolerable, but I did find that the liquid inside the radiator "gurgled" more than I would have liked. I would not call this a show-stopping issue, but if you want absolute silence you need to keep it in mind. While I would expect prolonged use to quiet this down as air is bled out, there is no way to guarantee this without much longer-term testing.
Corsair has done a great job redesigning and building a solid new cooling device for the enthusiast. The results do not lie and they show the H70 works very well. I have no issue awarding it the Editor's Choice award for absolute cooling power and outstanding performance across the board. It may be a bit more expensive, but the adage of "you get what you pay for" applies here and without a doubt, you won't be disappointed.

Elizabeth Dickey's curator insight, November 23, 5:04 PM
This article discusses how social media and mobile marketing currently go hand-in-hand. The article points out that one of the biggest challenges that many mobile marketers face is understanding how consumers utilize social media on their mobile devices. Marketers should learn how to develop special campaigns in order to tap into the power of social media through mobile marketing. In terms of mobile marketing, consumers are looking for bite-sized chunks of info that they can consume quickly. The article explains the importance for companies to invest in a mobile optimized website. The implementation of a mobile design is the best way to ensure that all consumers will be able to enjoy a user-friendly experience.
I agree with this because I have used my phone to look up a restaurant menu in order to make a carry out order. The menu would not appear correctly on my phone, so I just looked up another restaurant to order from since I did not have access to an actual computer. That restaurant lost my business because the site was not compatible with my mobile device.
The article says that one of the most important steps towards effective social media marketing in the mobile domain is permission because relationships with customers are still built on trust. In order to reach consumers via social media in their mobile devices, it is important to ask permission. I agree with this because obtaining the consent customers is vital to establishing trust. As a smartphone user, I am aware of how accessible my information is. It would be positive for a company to first ask my permission.
Stephen Daniels's curator insight, November 24, 10:12 AM
This article, Social Media and Mobile Marketing: A Marriage Made in Heaven, is about the importance of mobile marketing in a world where consumers are increasingly using their mobile devices as they shop to make decisions. This is huge in the way of mobile marketing, creating opportunities for bands to interact and influence customers as they shop. This brings about the importance of having a site that is easy to navigate while shopping. This technique of using mobile technology can also help in distinguishing your brand from the competition by keeping up with what they are doing on social media and their mobile site. This has become increasingly important because of how fast social media and mobile marketing are evolving. By staying informed on your competition, you can better create unique messages that will stand out. This helps attract and retain customers by keeping them engaged with new content.
David Sousa's curator insight, November 24, 7:50 PM
It is apparent that social media and mobile marketing are a combined package these days. According to the article, a study showed that 34 percent of shoppers used their mobile devices while in stores to perform their shopping related activities. Another stat showed that 23 percent of shoppers used a social network on their mobile phone while they were in the store. Lastly, approximately 75 percent of consumers that are between 18 and 44 use a social network daily so the challenge marketer's face is figuring out how consumers utilize social media on their mobile devices. The report also revealed that consumers who are using their social media accounts while in the store are doing so to view feedback about certain products and brands. I found that to be interesting because when I am in a store looking for a certain product or brand, I am not paying attention to my phone, I am paying attention to my search within the store. I am not a huge fan of shopping so when I go, I look to get what I came for and get out as soon as possible. My shopping time is not spent on my phone searching for things or feedback. However, it does not surprise me that nearly half of these consumers are doing so, according to the article. These days, everyone is on their phones. Whether it is sitting in class, in bed, during a sporting event, etc. To me, it's a little obnoxious how much people are using their phones these days.

SEO Melbourne Experts's curator insight, November 26, 7:42 PM
This article highlights the importance and the need for engaging your customers, no more so than today with online marketing. The power of the consumer and their ability to share and use their own social platforms as vehicles for promotion, is not to be ignored.
Here are some interesting stats, which should give some insight into how to target today's consumer;
- In June 2013, 86.2% of internet users viewed online video
- Video ad's accounted for 25% of all videos viewed online
That's all well and good but with the total number videos viewed being 44 billion, the question is how do you cut through the noise?
Using a professional video marketing company like Lumeo, will allow you to create the necessary engagement to put your self ahead of your competition and in front of your target market.

Yes the stakes are much higher in mobile, and it's not only about user interface, They want immediate response. They need security and privacy protection. And this will put enormous pressure on corporate IT departments to deliver the same experience in internal systems and apps
Fred Zimny's curator insight, November 8, 12:20 AM
Focus on encounters and experiences in stead of managing relations.
Ahmed Alkandari's curator insight, November 15, 9:01 PM
"Most people worldwide would not care if more than 73% of brand disappeared." So, are companies wasting their money on advertisements and marketing; since, most people won't care about weather the brand will disappeared or not?! People who have brand loyalty are supposed to care if the brand they are loyal to will be available or not on the future. Also would these people considered faithful to their brand if they don't care?
What are brands might been doing wrong with customers?don't focus on the customersare not providing value relative to priceare not providing value relative to the competition/alternativeshave broken customers' trustdon't deliver on their promisesdon't care about customersdon't meet customer expectationsare not innovative (think "same old same old")deliver a fragmented or poor experience
With all of these point, the relationship between them and their customers will be broken. Therefore, companies should focus more on their customers and design a good customer experience. Companies shouldn't only care about making money, they should also care and focus about being a part of something that matters to people and mean something to them.
Most of the article was asking questions and some questions didn't have answers in the article, they are open for general thinking and answering. It's interesting about how most people won't care if a brand disappeared on the future; for me I would! Of course life won't stop and new brands will enter the market. However, Some brands people got used to it and can's change that easily; the example of Apple. I also found it important about what they mentioned for customers relationship with the company. In my opinion, companies that focuses more on their relationship with their customers and making sure to build an experience with their customers are more successful than companies that focusses on making profits and increase their revenue. I a customer became loyal to a company and he had an experience with that company, he won't mind paying more on that company's goods. The reason is that the company had built a trust and an experience to that customer so he will be faithful and he would care about the brand and the company.

The ServiceMag's curator insight, October 14, 4:34 AM
There's another way of describing this without using 'stupid' and it's simply about studying demand, realising purpose from a customer's perspective and designing activities around them.

Chris Rock Helps A Woman In Labor At The Mall And Other Celebrity Heroes
Just call him The Amazing Hot Ginge. Prince Harry is being labeled a "hero" today after he went to police following a friend's mugging. See, Harry was on the phone, gabbin' about girls with a pal (okay, I made that up), when the friend on the line was suddenly mugged. His Royal Ginger reportedly raced across the city to help his friend in need and when he couldn't find him, Harry walked his princely butt over to the local police station, where he gave a witness statement. As a result of that and, you know, police work, a suspect was aprehended.

How To Pass The 7-Second Test
Earlier this month, Susannah admitted that she can tell how a date will go within the first three seconds. Turns out, she's only about four seconds faster than average at sizing up a potential mate. Linda Blair, clinical psychologist and author of Straight Talking, says: "'It takes only seven seconds for us to judge another person when we first meet them," explaining that this subconscious behavior goes back to our "primitive roots when we couldn't afford to make wrong decisions." Judi James, author of The Body Language Bible, agrees, and explains: "We're looking primarily to see if we should feel threatened, but we also make several assumptions about attraction and personality. … Because we tend to be time-poor, we use assumption as a short-cut, meaning if you don't get it right first time you might not get another chance."
This not only spells potential trouble for the person we're sizing up, but it can be disastrous for us when we're the ones being judged. After the jump, a few expert tips for passing the seven-second test yourself. Keep reading »

"Happy Birthday" copyright lawsuit filed
A production company is arguing in a lawsuit that the song should be "dedicated to public use and in the public domain."
|Report an Error
Share via Email
NEW YORK, N.Y. — A production company making a documentary about the song "Happy Birthday to You" is challenging the copyright to the famous jingle.
Good Morning To You Productions Corp., which is working on a film tentatively titled Happy Birthday, argues in a lawsuit filed Thursday that the song should be "dedicated to public use and in the public domain."
The company is seeking monetary damages and restitution of more than $5 million collected by Warner/Chappell Music Inc. from thousands of people and groups who have paid it licensing fees.
"More than 120 years after the melody to which the simple lyrics of 'Happy Birthday to You' is set was first published, defendant Warner/Chappell boldly, but wrongfully and unlawfully, insists that it owns the copyright to 'Happy Birthday to You,'" the lawsuit states.
Warner/Chappell, based in Los Angeles, claims exclusive copyright to "Happy Birthday to You," which Guinness World Records has called the most famous song in the English language.
The company, whose artists include Aretha Franklin, Barry Gibb, Rob Zombie and Madonna, didn't immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday.
Good Morning To You Productions argues evidence dating to 1893 helps show the song's copyright expired around 1921. It says four previous copyrights to the melody of the similar-sounding song "Good Morning to All," filed in 1893, 1896, 1899 and 1907, have expired or been forfeited.
The class action lawsuit says that Warner/Chappell claims the exclusive copyright to the song based on piano arrangements published in 1935 but that the copyright applies only to the piano arrangement and not to the melody or lyrics.
The film company filed the lawsuit after having to pay Warner/Chappell a $1,500 licensing fee and sign an agreement to use the song in a scene — or face a $150,000 penalty.

Seaguar Red Label Fluorocarbon Line - $10.99 to $55.99
The Seaguar Red label Fluorocarbon Line is 100% Fluorocarbon designed to be an everyday freshwater go-to line with all the knot and tensile strength--as well as the nearly invisible performance of 100% fluorocarbon--in an economical package that everyone can appreciate.
|Line Diameter
Comments: I like sun line but it's too much money. Used 12 lb and caught many 3lb plus smallies, seems to be very strong for 12. Interested to see if there is a big difference in thickness and stiffness between this and 15
From: AL: USA 11/2/14
Comments: This is a solid, inexpensive fluorocarbon. It is much better than other cheap fluoros on the market. It is strong, sensitive, and a pleasure to cast and pitch. The only thing I have noticed is that after a few trips it turns a milky white color and I have found that break offs are more common when this occurs. Other than that, a solid fluoro that is the backbone of my line arsenal.
From: Nick: IL 8/9/14
Comments: best of the cheaper flouros for sure. and around $40 for 1000yrds isn't bad either. but because it is cheaper I would respool it often. I usually fish sniper or invisix but gave this a try based on price. only spooled up one reel with it just to try it out ,team gold, and it was great the first 3-4 times out catching 3-5lbers. I use kvd line conditioner and it still got significantly weaker after a few trips. good line for the price but imo make sure you respool often or cut 10-15 yards off after a few trips lost two traps at st. clair making that mistake myself.
From: Will: MI 7/25/14
Comments: I tourney bass fish and fun fish with 10 lb red label and love it! Great product for the money. If your having problems casting this put it on an abu Garcia or bass pro baitcaster and you will see amazing results. It's the reels not the line this stuff is awesome!
From: Donnie: Mansfield, OH 7/13/14
Comments: Ok, so I've tried and reviewed at least 10-12 different fluoro lines over the last 5 years or so and this is my take on this line. This red label is very strong, has good abrasion resistance, and has decent castability. It does tend to have some stiffness and memory, alot more than Gamma and Sunline, BUT I was actually surprised that this line was as good as it is, especially for the extremely low cost. $11.00 is very inexpensive for a good fluorocarbon line. It's not as good as Gamma, P-line, and Sunline Sniper, but for the price, it's a great line with a lot of strength. I use the 15lb. test and it's never failed me yet. Great job Seaguar!
From: Tom: N. Charleston, SC 7/9/14
Comments: On the advise of a fried I tried the 15 lb and 12 lb test. I found it hard and difficult to cast. Extremely stiff and felt heavy when casting. I can't speak for strength and durability, I didn't get that far.
From: Steve: North Charleston, SC 7/5/14
Comments: very good line! Have been fishing it this past spring and have caught several bass over 5 lbs. No break offs and heck, I haven't retied more than a few times and only when changing baits! Plus, I use a Palomar knot with it and no knot problems whatsoever!
From: J.R.: Morton, TX 6/20/14
Comments: Awesome line, regardless of price. I've now caught a 53 and 40 inch musky throwing DT's for Smallmouth with 12 lb Red Label on a Revo S. Both ripped drag like crazy. The 53 had it wrapped around his mouth the first time I got him to the boat, thought for sure it would break on his teeth. 6 charges later he was in the boat. Could not recommend more.
From: Ryan: Arbor Vitae, WI 5/15/14
Comments: I have been using the 12lb test on a Tatula for bass and striper in Central Cali all season and love it. Often when I get caught on a small log or rooted bush, I end up pulling the entire thing out of the water with literally no damage to the line itself. This is within reason of course. Pretty amazing for 12lb test, plus its cheap. As for people getting break offs, I have found that making a few short casts to "loosen" everything up and to get rid of any memory before launching my baits really helps to reduce potential birds nests. With that said, I fish free spool and have been extremely satisfied with its overall performance. Definitely recommended.
From: Kevin: CA 5/14/14
Comments: This has been my favorite fluro yet. Never had a break off and its very manageable for a Fluorocarbon line. The only negative thing i could say is i think it has just as much stretch as mono.
From: Cameron: VA 4/20/14
Comments: I use spinning gear. I always wanted to try fluoro and after seeing Seaguar advertises it as a spinning gear-friendly line and reading reviews here, I decided to buy 2 spools. At first I was quite disappointed when, after filling the spool with the 10lb, I saw the line coming off like a spring. I envisioned huge bird nests but I was surprised that every cast was problem free (I used lipless cranks). Then I tried the 6lb on my UL reel and I expected the worst but frankly, the 6lb behaved even better. I am now able to work my UL lures a bit deeper. I recommend this line to anyone who wants to use it with spinning gear.
From: Peter: CA 4/8/14
Comments: I have been using this line for the past two seasons fishing the mighty Mississippi. Let me tell you with all the zebra mussels in there this line holds up. I use #17 and #20 lb when flippin jigs and soft plastics to rocks and wood cover that are loaded with mussels and I know I will get the bass out of there without breaking off! Great line!
From: Russ: IL 3/22/14
Comments: i use the red label in 17lb on my swimbait rod and it holds up very well, chunking 3-5oz hudds, rago skt swimmers and savage line thru and hav. Caught 7 fish over 12 lbs last year biggest being 13.60 and i horsed them in, great product and has never failed me will be using this line for years to come.
From: Brad: TX
Comments: best fluorocarbon I have used especially for the price. Super smooth casting,low memory,superior knot and abrasion strength. Obviously review by unknown person has no idea how to use a baitcaster or tie knots if he is breaking this line casting and getting birds nest.
From: David: VA
Comments: I've used invisX and that Vicious CRAP. This red label is all that! Very low memory and hella knot strength. Haven't had any breaks either
From: Stone: Charlotte, NC
Comments: weakest fluoro line I have use. Snapped on me twice during casting. And no it's not my knot, the line broke a few feet before my swivel. Two bad bird nest so I just cut it all out. Get SUNLINE FC SNIPER if u wanna keep the big fish on.
From: Unknown
Comments: great line, great price and super strong, I use it for a main line and a flouro leader.
From: Chris: IL
Comments: Absoultely great for the money. Use 15# on my all purpose rod, 12# on my cranking rod, 10# on my jerkbait rod, and 20# on my jig/flipping rods. It has not failed me once, and personally when I find something good I stick with it and that's what I have done with this line.
From: Morgan: Plano, Texas
Comments: This is some amazing fluorocarbon. Cheap, strong, sensitive, easy casting... It has it all. Get this line
From: Doug: Florence, AL
Comments: This line is suits me fine. Bought a MGX reel a year ago and spooled it with 12lb Red Label and loved it. Never had the line break and caught a lot of bass in the 2lb to 6lb range. I pretty much fish 1 lake that has no structure other than milfoil and hydrilla and had no problems yanking em out of that stuff. I probably kept it on my reel too long and actually just re-spooled today.
From: David: Pflugerville, TX, USA
Comments: Worst line there is. Line broke off on me twice while casting. Line was fresh out of the box and it snapped. Two bad bird nest and lost about 30-45 min trying to fix it. Gave up and cut it all out. Idk if it was a bad batch but no more for me. I guess what they said was right, u get what u paid for. All I use now is Pline fluorocarbon and sun line fc sniper, best line there is.
From: Sai
Comments: Great Line, I have been nothing but impressed, if you put a little line conditioner on it, it will perform like a much higher end line. Good buy.
From: Logan: NJ
Comments: Overall good line. Handles well, fairly abrasion resistant (20 lb specifically), good knot strength. A little stretchy as far as fluoros go, but it still beats mono. Even when it starts to get memory in it, it handles better than others in the same diameter. I like invisx better, but for nearly half the price, red label is the winner.
From: Scott
Comments: I use to be a die hard vicious fan, because don't get me wrong that stuff is tough, but it is sooo stiff its not even funny. this stuff, is like a whole different world! its just as strong, super smooth and doesn't have that bad of memory, and casts a mile. and the s super cheap and does the same thing as the more expensive line does. great product, and seaguar has made themselves a new customer!
From: Mat: OH
Comments: The 10 lb line has cost me 3 jerk baits it isn't very abrasion resistant I also have the 8 for finesse fishing and not problems there.
From: Nick: Redding CA
Comments: Got this line in 15 lb for my crankbait rod. The price was great and the line preforms really well. I caught two smallies in the first hour with the stuff bouncing squarebills off cover. The line held up really well and I never even had to retie. I'm planning on buying another spool soon.
From: Mitch: IL
Comments: This is great Fluorocarbon line for the money. It handles pretty well and can hold up on some good fish. But I have tried the InvizX and like it more, because it doesn't have as much memory as this line does. But if you use line conditioner it does help. If you don't have/want to spend more money on the higher grade line like AbrazX or InvizX try this stuff because it really is a great line for the money. -Tight lines!
From: Matthew: KY
Comments: I must say I always find myself going back to this line is troubled situations and in times of anger, its not only just the cheapest fluro out there but it is super strong and reliable and I must say this line has 100% of my confidence.
From: Tyler: Orange county, CA
Comments: Hands down the best fluoro on the market for a great price. i have the 10lb and the 17lb and theyre both awesome
From: Tyler: Cincy, Ohio
Comments: Don't Buy this line in 6Lb. Test!! I have bought 2 spools and both were weak and felt more like 4 Lb test! I will never buy this line again! I have 30 yrs of fishing expierience and trust me this line is junk! It doesn't even compare to Sunline Fluro!
From: Oliver: Ottawa, WV
Comments: This stuff is better than Vicious fluro. I had the 20lb Vicious and 15lb Red Label, and the Red Label took a lot more effort to break. Red Label has very low memory, and good knot strength. I had this line on three of my rods, my cranking rod, my spinner bait rod, and surprisingly, my flipping rod. I felt more comfortable throwing Red Label 15lb on my flipping stick, that 20lb Vicious, and I flip A LOT. This is the best fluoro I have tried in this price range.
From: Nicholas: Austin, TX
Comments: I used the 15 pound to ledge fish on kentucky and barkley all year last year. it performed awesome. no problems what so ever
From: LA: Lyon County, KY
Comments: Just bought this stuff and man 20lb is very stiff but you can manage it if you put it on tight. I love this line I have tried almost all the mid price fluoro line this stuff so far with be what I use when I use Fluoro and not braid. dont hesitate to buy this stuff it is really good
From: Robert: Austin, TX
Comments: I am using ten pound test for a few of my baitcast setups. This line is very smooth. It casts lot better than most fluorocarbon. I am hoping that I can start using this line for all of my reaction bait fishing. So far it seems promising.
From: Nathan: Pasco, WA
Comments: This line is absolutely terrible. I have lost more baits on this line than any other. If the line touches anything that is not the inside of the guide it will fray and break on the cast. Thats right, it breaks on the cast. Seagaur should be ashamed of this line. Do not buy this line unless you want it to break on you multiple times per day
From: Jim: New England
Comments: I do not believe there are 200 yards on the spool I bought. I did not get one reel filled out of a spool.
From: Dean: IL
Comments: I thought i needed a new reel, and i was very close to buying a new one, but then i respooled it with 6 lb. Seaguar red label, and i knew it had been the line. This line is super smooth, and greatly increased my casting distance on my ultra-light panfish setup.
Comments: Good line but HIGH memory!
From: Ray: Tulsa, OK
Comments: I have had nothing but good performance from this line.
From: Phil: KY

The continuing economic crisis in the 17-nation euro area is delaying a meaningful recovery even as global economic growth is picking up, according to the latest quarterly report from electronics industry association IPC.
The report said that leading macroeconomic indicators and electronics supply chain indicators point to slow growth in the second quarter of 2013.
The data shows that, in the global electronics supply chain, only laminate and semiconductors showed positive year-on-year growth in the first quarter of 2013, and the growth rates were meager. In North America, Q1 results were more mixed. Sales of solder and assembly equipment in the region enjoyed strong growth, while the EMS, PCB, laminate, and process consumables industries fell short of last year's sales levels.
The report said economic activity in the U.S. manufacturing sector expanded in March for the fourth consecutive month, and the overall economy grew for the 46th consecutive month. IPC's performance index for the North American Electronics Industry forecasts slow growth in the coming months.
Another leading indicator for electronics supply chain sales growth in North America is the PCB book-to-bill ratio, which reached a 34-month high in April at 1.10, IPC pointed out. This may point to supply chain sales resuming positive growth momentum in the latter half of 2013.

text: Weiner Ahead in Polls Just Before Latest Scandal Hit Print article Send a Tip by William Bigelow 25 Jul 2013 post a comment A new Quinnipiac University poll taken from July 18 through July 23 shows Anthony Weiner still ahead in the New York City Democratic mayoral primary battle, but if there is a runoff, William Thompson may be his strongest competitor, not City Council Speaker Christine Quinn. Weiner garnered 26% of those polled, while Quinn received 22% and Thompson, a former city comptroller, 20%. But in a two-man race, Thompson leads Weiner 52% to 41%. Against Quinn, it's Thompson 51% and Quinn 42%. Thompson's appeal is apparently based on voters' estimation of his moral stature; 63% of those polled said he had a strong moral character as opposed to 53% for Quinn and 17% for Weiner. The poll was largely taken before Weiner's latest scandal went public. If Weiner drops out as a result of his latest sexting scandal, Quinn would receive 30% of those polled while Thompson would receive 26%.

Modified NAPFA Test for Pre-National Service Students from 2015
The National Physical Fitness Award (NAPFA) test was introduced in Singapore schools in 1982 at the secondary and pre-university levels, and in 1992 at the primary level. Currently, the NAPFA test comprises six test items to assess the different components of overall fitness. The six test items are customised for different age groups. For the post-secondary students, the test items are sit-up, pull-up (for males)/inclined pull-up (for females), sit-and-reach, standing broad jump, shuttle run and 2.4km run/walk.
From January 2015, the NAPFA pull-up test will be replaced by a push-up test for pre-National Service (NS) students in pre-university institutions1 , polytechnics and Institute of Technical Education. This will facilitate the use of the NAPFA test results for pre-enlistment purpose, in line with the modifications in the Individual Physical Proficiency Test (IPPT) announced earlier by MINDEF2 .
The NAPFA test, with its six test items, will continue to provide a comprehensive indicator of students' health- and performance-related fitness for MOE's purpose of developing students physically. There will be no change to the NAPFA test items for all students at the primary and secondary levels, and for female students in pre-university institutions, polytechnics and Institute of Technical Education. Inclined pull-up and pull-up will continue to be used for this group to train upper body muscular strength and endurance.
The table below shows the NAPFA and new IPPT items with effect from 2015.NAPFA test items for primary and secondary school students, and female students in pre-university institutions, polytechnics and Institute of Technical Education NAPFA test items for pre-NS students in pre-university institutions, polytechnics and Institute of Technical Education IPPT items (pilot from 1 Sep 2014, full implementation expected in 2015) Sit-Up Sit-Up Sit-Up Pull-Up (Male)/ Inclined Pull-Up (Younger Male/ Female) Push-Up (New) Push-Up (New) Sit-and-Reach Sit-and-Reach Standing Broad Jump Standing Broad Jump Shuttle Run Shuttle Run 2.4 km Run/walk / 1.6 km Run/walk (for primary school students) 2.4 km Run/walk 2.4 km Run About Physical Education Syllabus 2014
MOE's new physical education (PE) syllabus is being introduced in stages from primary to pre-university level from 2014. The new syllabus aims to equip students with the ability to engage in a wide range of physical activities and sports. This will lay a strong foundation for a lifelong pursuit of a physically active and healthy lifestyle.
Physical fitness will continue to be emphasised through the new Holistic Assessment3 in PE, which will be introduced to all schools in 2016 to support the new PE syllabus. It will help students develop a holistic perspective of fitness and the enjoyment of exercise and sports. Students will track their fitness level, participation in sports, games, and other physical activities. In addition, students will design their own programmes to achieve their desired fitness levels for different purposes.Footnote
SkillsFuture Council Begins Work: Driving National Effort to Develop Skills for the Future
The SkillsFuture Council, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) Tharman Shanmugaratnam, held its first meeting today. The Council will develop an integrated system of education, training and career progression for all Singaporeans, promote industry support for individuals to advance based on skills, and foster a culture of lifelong learning. The formation of the Council was announced by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at this year's National Day Rally.
DPM Tharman said, "Our future must be about mastery of skills, in every job, and enabling every Singaporean to develop themselves to the fullest. We are going to put full effort into this, and it involves everyone - Government, employers, unions and all of us as individuals."
At its first meeting, the Council decided on four thrusts to drive this national effort:i. Help individuals to make well-informed choices in education, training and careers
- The Council will guide the development of a full system of guidance to help individuals make choices in education, training and their careers, starting from educational counselling in schools and extending throughout a person's working life. It will foster collaboration between the Government, industry, and institutions, to provide individuals with exposure to a wide range of occupations and industries from young, and ongoing information on the changing needs of the labour market.
- The Council will review education and training to ensure that a sound and broad-based education for the young is complemented with a full menu of the continuous learning options, including opportunities to develop new specialisations. A panel of leaders from educational and training institutions will be appointed to support the Council in this effort.
- The Council will work with employers to design and implement a framework to enable individuals to advance by climbing skill ladders. Panels led by employers, and supported by unions and government agencies, will be appointed in each sector to develop this framework.
- This will involve a long-term effort to respect every job for its skills, and value the achievements of individuals who attain mastery in their own fields. It will also promote the habit of learning throughout life, for work as well as for interest. The SkillsFuture Council will be supported by the community-led Lifelong Learning Council , which will promote practical ways to advance this culture.
Members of the high-level SkillsFuture Council include representatives from the government, industry, unions and employers, and educational and training institutions (see list of members in Annex). The members of the inaugural term of the Council have been appointed for two years.
The Council will take forward the key recommendations under both the Applied Study in Polytechnics and ITE Review (ASPIRE) and the Continuing Education and Training Masterplan (CET) 2020 (see illustration below). The Council will develop and drive initiatives to ensure an integrated system of learning, pre- and post-employment, for all Singaporeans. It will be a major, long term effort involving collaboration with all stakeholders, including employers, training providers, unions and individuals.
The National Productivity and Continuing Education Council (NPCEC) was formed in April 2010 to oversee and drive national productivity efforts as well as develop a comprehensive first-class national CET system. With the formation of the SkillsFuture Council, the oversight of CET will be devolved from NPCEC to this new Council with effect from 1 November 2014. The NPCEC will be renamed as the National Productivity Council (NPC) to reflect its redefined scope. The NPC will continue to promote and support industry upgrading for higher productivity, including the development of industry-wide platforms to support business productivity. While skills advancement and industry upgrading complement each other strongly, they will each receive focused attention and energy through the work of the SkillsFuture Council and NPC respectively.
New Work-Study Pathway for Graduates of Northlight School and Assumption Pathway School Starting From 2015
A new work-study pathway will be offered to the graduates of NorthLight School (NLS) and Assumption Pathway School (APS). The two-year work-study programme (named "NorthLight Academy" and "Assumption Pathway Academy" respectively) aims to equip these NLS and APS graduates with work-relevant skills and expertise through a combination of on-the-job training at the workplace and in-school learning to help them transit successfully from school to the workplace.
These programmes will cater to a group of NLS and APS graduates who are not yet ready to progress to further education at ITE or to start work independently at the workplace. This is part of MOE's broader commitment to bring out the best in every child by providing different pathways that cater to different learning needs. The programmes will be offered to the 2014 cohort of Year 4 students in NLS and APS, who will participate in this programme organised by their respective schools. We expect to cater to a total of 90 NLS/APS graduates a year and will admit the first batch from February 2015.
The curriculum will comprise on-the-job learning at the workplace with on-site support by school personnel for three days a week, complemented with in-school learning modules for the remaining two days. Training will be aligned to the standards of the Singapore Workforce Skills Qualifications. Career coaching and counselling support will be provided to help them identify their strengths and career aspirations, and develop the requisite competencies (knowledge, skills and attitudes) that companies look for in potential employees.
Industry partners will create authentic learning opportunities for these NLS and APS graduates to build deep skills and expertise and eventually offer job placements if they perform well in their jobs. The industry partners include Metro Pte Ltd, Park Hotel Group, Millennium & Copthorne Hotels PLC, Holiday Inn Singapore Orchard City Centre, Pastamania and Crossings Café.

Students who are eligible for the Normal (Technical) course and interested to study in Crest Secondary School or Spectra Secondary School should apply directly to these two schools from 11.00am on 21 November 2014 until 12.00pm on 25 November 2014. Students are required to submit a single application form to their preferred school (out of these two schools) and can indicate whether they are willing to be considered for posting to the other school if they are not admitted into their preferred school. Separately, these students are still required to indicate their choices for other secondary schools under the S1 Posting Exercise. This would ensure that these students will be posted to another school of their choice if they are not admitted into Crest Secondary School or Spectra Secondary School. Students successfully admitted into Crest Secondary School or Spectra Secondary School will be informed by the schools via letter and SMS by 13 December 2014. Application forms for these two schools will be available from primary schools when students receive their results, or from these two schools' websites (http://www.crestsec.edu.sg and http://www.spectra.edu.sg). More information on Crest Secondary School and Spectra Secondary School can be found on the schools' websites or the information booklet entitled "Choosing Your Secondary Schools".

her abilities seem like fun. and I'm very curious 'bout mage assassin but didnt have a chance to use her free. Any LeBlanc owner could u tell me how is she? In comparison to Lux or Xin Zhao or Irelia? Thanks guys!
I really like Lux and Xin Zhao but dont have enough money. And than LeBlanc came into sight. Really confused on which one to buy...
Wheat By Product
LeBlanc is a very fun champion. I would recommend her for someone interested in a champion whose learning scale isn't extreme, but isn't so easy you can master her in a few minutes of play.
+ Extremely effective at bursting down single-target enemies, being able to kill most AP carries in two or three spell casts.
+ Very high mobility.
+ Interesting and complex game-play, you feel rewarded after you get a kill by being crafty.
+ She is based upon deception, even if she is low, she can dish out a ton of damage.
+ Short cooldowns.
+ Very strong lane presence.
+ In possession of one of the nicest auto-attack animations in the game. If you're new (or trying to practice) to last-hitting, play LeBlanc. You'll get the swing of things.
- She is extremely squishy.
- She falls off pretty hard late game, especially if the enemy team builds MR.
- If she's not fed, she's useless. (Though it's not entirely difficult for her to get fed.)
- Games are decided by her early game.
- She has no real team-fight presence, except in the case that you use her to nuke the ADC.
- The only CC she has is her snare, which might not always snare your target. (Skillshot, and a timed tether, though this can be helped with a Rylai's.)
Leblanc can burst champs down really easily but she gets targeted late game a lot and dies rather quickly unless you're quick about using her abilities to get away.

i dont think you can really compare leblanc to xin, but compared to lux i think leblanc has the better burst and mobility, but lux has the better teamfight presence and range (with ult). personally i like lux more, as she offers more utility, but a good leblanc player can assassinate both the ADC and APC before a fight and win the game
AD Hyper Carry
Who is better of the three? I'd say xin zhao. Leblanc is fun for low level people to get a few quick wins against terrible people, but as soon as your enemies get semi-competent you WILL lose a majority of the leblanc games. I would definitely not recommend her
Out of the three heroes you listed, it depends on team comps.
LeBlanc is honestly a worse hero because of how hard she's countered by a Banshee's Veil and magic resistance. Her entire kit focuses around taking out an enemy carry and giving her team an advantageous 4v4 while she's on cooldown.
You really need an all in team composition to follow up on the kills with LeBlanc.
Lux is a strong poke champion, with some decent utility. She won't do the same damage as LeBlanc, but she has a better all around game and she can keep up sustained pushes with her poke.
You want a more poke oriented lineup with her.
Xin Zhao is a hero you can't really compare to the other two, as he fills a different role. That said, Xin is fantastic at jumping in and splitting up a team. He does lots of damage, and you can build him quite tanky (and in fact probably should). He can jump into the enemy team, shove off all the peel from a vulnerable enemy carry, and take them down in seconds, leaving your team a really strong 4v4, or 4v5 if he lives.
You really want an all in team comp with him.

Flying solo
Some used the fact they were their school's lone rep to their advantage
BEAVERTON, Ore. -- The Opening roster looked like a pre-introduction for major BCS colleges.
USC? Eight commits in attendance. Florida, Georgia, Michigan and Notre Dame? Seven commits each. Ohio State and Florida State? Six players apiece. Texas and Alabama? Five each.
While several players were either reuniting with or meeting future college teammates, a few players were operating as solo representatives for their respective schools. Players like defensive tackle Christian LaCouture (College Station, Texas/A&M Consolidated), offensive tackle Cameron Hunt (Corona, Calif./Centennial), linebacker Holland Fisher (Midlothian, Va./Manchester) and cornerback Colin Spencer (Dallas/Woodrow Wilson) wore their school's colors and logos and used their play as a unique version of self-promotion.
Flying Solo
Here are the 13 players who participated in The Opening as a solo representative for their respective future college programs.
|OT Shamire Devine
|Georgia Tech
|RB Mark Dodson Jr.
|Ole Miss
|OLB Holland Fisher
|Virginia Tech
|S Delano Hill
|OLB Deon Hollins Jr.
|OT Cameron Hunt
|WR Travis Johnson
|DT Christian LaCouture
|OC Tyler Lancaster
|S Kameron Miles
|DE Chikwe Obasih
|WR Ra'Shaad Samples
|Oklahoma State
|CB Colin Spencer
"A lot of these guys are from other schools, and they're talking this or that about their school," said Fisher, one of 12 Virginia Tech commits total. "They're going to be my competition for the next few years. I feel like it's my job to put Virginia Tech on the map while I'm here."
Fisher and Spencer, a three-star Kansas commit, were 7-on-7 teammates while at The Opening. They were able to connect as solo-representative commits. Spencer is one of only six total Kansas commits -- compared to 24 total commits from Texas A&M, 22 from Michigan or 18 from Alabama and Florida.
Spencer is a The Opening invite in the minority. He had only one offer from Kansas -- compared to several athletes with multiple offers -- and jumped on the chance to play in the Big 12. Being the lone KU representative didn't faze Spencer. If anything, it served as a conversation starter.
"A lot of people have asked where I'm going, and I'll tell them loud and proud that I'm going to Kansas," Spencer said. "It gives me the chance to show there are great kids everywhere and not just at one school or in one part of the country."
LaCouture, a three-star Nebraska commit, said being the only Cornhusker in attendance has allowed him to do some side recruiting. There are several players at The Opening who are still uncommitted, and LaCouture took advantage by speaking to players he felt would fit in well at Nebraska.
"I'm out here to do my job, but I'm also here to help recruit for Nebraska," said LaCouture, one of 12 total Huskers commits. "We have a lot of down time after sessions. We'll just talk football and about the recruiting process. It's been pretty good so far.
"It's really all about showing what your school's all about."
Hunt committed to Cal and became the Golden Bears' seventh overall commit on Saturday. He is Cal's only representative in Oregon but said he's been in recruiting mode since officially announcing on ESPNU.
Hunt said he's been pitching the advantages of Cal, such as the athletic and academic advantages the school has to offer. He added that The Opening is the perfect place for a solo commit to play salesman, as there's only one person to give the spiel for the program.
"Some guys are like, 'Why are you going to Cal?' I'll tell them the academics are great there, and that's why I really chose it," Hunt said. "There are brand-new facilities, brand-new field, brand-new weight room, everything. They're really upgrading up there. Plus, I felt really comfortable with the coaching staff.
"With me being the only Cal player here, I know a couple of players who like Cal a lot. It gets me in a recruiting mode."
Fisher admitted that because of strength in numbers, recruiting can take its toll on players in his position as a solo. There are positives and negatives in being a solo at The Opening, but he said the positives outweigh the negatives.
"I really don't see any negatives with this," Fisher said. "It's a great honor to be here, and all the other guys have been pushing me to do better. It's also your chance to show what you can do and why your school wanted you."
Spencer added: "I just tell them about how great my experiences were. The players and coaches at Kansas are great. This has helped me say how I feel like the program's back on the rise. I tell everybody that's why I chose it."

Differential costs of sexual and vegetative reproduction in wild strawberry populations

The CO2 costs of producing sexual and vegetative reproductive propagules were calculated for two species of wild strawberry, Fragaria virginiana and F. vesca. Five populations on sites representing a gradient of successional regrowth near Ithaca, New York, USA, were studied for two or three years each. Field studies of phenology, biomass, demography, and environment and laboratory studies of CO2 exchange were integrated using a computerbased model of CO2 dynamics to estimate costs of propagules.
The percentage of plants flowering and the number of flower buds produced were highest in an open, recently disturbed habitat and lowest in a forest habitat. The openhabitat plants had the greatest success in converting flower buds into ripe fruits and also produced the highest numbers of runners and runner plantlets. On the basis of total investments in structure and respiration minus any photosynthetic gain of all reproductive structures, the cost per seed was lowest in the most open habitats and highest and increasingly variable in the more closed habitats. The cost of plantlets also was lowest in the most open habitat. The differences among habitats in cost of plantlets alive after one or two growing seasons increased due to differential survivorship of plantlets, with the open habitat continuing to have the lowest cost per plantlet. Theoretical treatments of life history characteristics such as reproductive effort should recognize that costs of equivalent type and size of propagule may vary among environments.

Gmail App Update Points To Arrival Of Mobile Ads
Unlike the desktop version, Gmail apps have remained ad free. It now appears with the latest Android Gmail update, that's going to change.
Artem Russakovskii of Android Police dug in to version 4.6 of the Android Gmail app and found evidence that, while likely not live yet, ads are coming.
The code below suggests users will have the ability to save ads as messages and even dismiss an ad, according to Russakovskii:
<string name="ad">AD</string>
<string name="ad_will_not_save">Will not save ad as message</string>
<string name="ad_will_save">Will save ad as message</string>
<string name="ad_dismissed">Ad dismissed</string>
This appears to be different than the current functionality offered in the desktop ads that appear as emails in the Promotions tab. Those ads can be "favorited," but can't be saved – or dismissed without closing the Promotions tab entirely.
It's not all that surprising ads are coming. Ads in Gmail apps is clearly a big monetization opportunity for Google. It will be interesting to see how Google aims to overcome the mobile's inherent challenges of limited real estate and serve ads that get advertisers noticed but don't interfere too much with usability.

I know that mobile is the hottest trend in advertising, but I'm still bowled over by the growth numbers in the latest Millennial Media SMART report.
Look at the Year-Over-Year Spend. In total, 10 categories increased their spend more than 100%. Four grew more than 400% and look at automotive – 574% growth? That's insane.
I'm also surprised to see Government Services on the list. Apparently this comes from advertising related to the recent elections.
Ranked by spending alone, Telecommunications took the top spot, just as it did 10 months out of the year. Retail and Restaurants came in second with Finance and Automotive in third and fourth place.
Looking at branded apps, the top three rearrange themselves – Finance, Automotive and then Retail.
What's the Goal?
