How to Display Backslash In WordPress Posts
So, this site has been up for 2+ years, and in all this time ive typed posts with paths, directories, registry keys the lot. Not ONCE did I notice that the backslash was not being displayed correctly until I did a site rewrite a month or so ago.
So, this site has been up for 2+ years, and in all this time ive typed posts with paths, directories, registry keys the lot. Not ONCE did I notice that the backslash was not being displayed correctly until I did a site rewrite a month or so ago.
When you type "\" wordpress classed tis as a stop character and will not display it as it thinks it could be a possible security issue. The way to get around its as follows.
When you edit your wordpress post flip to HTML view.
Then where you want the "\" to be enter this ASCII code
& # 9 2 ;
Then make sure you SAVE in HTML view
This will now show the "\" Backslash correctly.

I am software developer and machine learning researcher living in Toronto, Canada. I recently completed a postdoc at Oregon State University working with Tom Dietterich. I received by Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of British Columbia with David Poole.
My research explores optimization algorithms appropriate for problems with spatial structure, particularly in computational sustainability domains. My thesis introduced a policy gradient optimization algorithm called Equilibrium Policy Gradients(EPG) for spatiotemporal domains. EPG utilizes a parametrized policy defined as the equilibrium distribution of a Markov chain built from local causal policies. The most recent paper on this work can be found here.
Other Interests: machine learning (big data, data analytics), reinforcement learning, causal modelling, Bayesian Networks, inference in probabilistic graphical models, game theory, mechanism design, object oriented software design, logic programming.
I am currently looking for exciting research and/or development opportunities in academia or industry. Feel free to contact me by email(contact@<this_domain>), on Google+(+Mark Crowley) or on Twitter(@compthink).

"great cigar"
No better cigar for the money. Has a mild taste and my wife even likes the aroma. (that says a lot)Cecil in Charlotte N.C. November 15, 2007
GOOD CIGAR FOR THE PRICS.BUT THERE BETTER.IF YOU LIEK FULL AND SETRONG CIGARS THEIS ONE IS NOT FOR YOUYOSI in ISRAEL March 22, 2005
Won a box of these cigars in an auction. Let them sit in my humidor for about a week before lighting one up. They have a good solid construction and burn great. They have a light to medium draw, which I perfer. Everything about this cigar was very good except the flavor. They can be anywhere from weak to really harsh in taste. I sometimes only smoke about half a cigar and put the rest in my "cigar saver", with these, they taste even worst the second time around. Like someone else said in a review "you get what you pay for."Steven in Iowa February 14, 2005
"You get what you pay for."
Not a bad smoke for the price. It is mild, draws well, but is a bit tepid on the taste. Overall, it is an excellent cigar for the price.Jian in Idianapolis, IN September 29, 2004

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Interstate 70 in downtown Kansas City is closed after a tractor-trailer truck drove over a guardrail and dropped onto the interstate.
The accident occurred early Tuesday in downtown Kansas City.
Investigators say the truck was on a ramp from Interstate 35 to I-70 when it went along the guardrail before falling over the edge. The truck landed on its roof and debris was thrown across eastbound lanes of Interstate 70.
The driver was taken to a hospital with injuries that were not believed to be life-threatening.
The westbound lanes were closed to allow emergency vehicles and cleanup vehicles to reach the crash site.

Unpublished CA Appellate Court Decisions - Another Nail In The Coffin Of CA Homeowner Justice?
The rules were established by persons in possession of a public office with authority to do so, and they comport with applicable statutory and constitutional requirements. Since an injunction will not lie to restrain respondents from implementing them, appellant has not stated and cannot state a claim entitling him to relief. [citation.]
On Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of California
No. C-09-2740-WHA
The Honorable William Alsup, Judge
Attorney General of California
In 1998, Appellant Schmier brought his first challenge to the state citation rules. He appeared in Superior Court in San Francisco as attorney for his brother, Michael Schmier, who was then a candidate in the Democratic primary for California Attorney General. Mr. Schmier sought to enjoin all California courts from observing the citation rules. The Supreme Court denied his petition. The State Court of Appeal affirmed, denied Schmier's motion for costs and fees, and ordered the decision published.
The California Supreme Court and the United States Supreme Court denied review. The case was reported as Schmier v. Supreme Court, 78 Cal.App.4th 703 (2000), rehearing denied March 22, 2000, review denied May 24, 2000; cert. denied, 531 U.S. 958 (2000) (hereafter, "Schmier I").
Schmier I made it clear that the publication rules that Appellant Schmier challenges are valid and that no change in them was required:
The rules were established by persons in possession of a public office with authority to do so, and they comport with applicable statutory and constitutional requirements. Since an injunction will not lie to restrain respondents from implementing them, appellant has not stated and cannot state a claim entitling him to relief. [citation.]
(Schmier I, supra, 78 Cal.App.4th 703, 712; emphasis added.)
In 2001, Appellant Schmier brought a second state-court challenge to the rules under the guise of appealing the denial of attorney's fees for Schmier I. This second case, also published as precedent, was Schmier v. Supreme Court, 96 Cal.App.4th 873 (2002), hereafter, "Schmier II." Appellant Schmier alleged that Schmier I had conferred a significant benefit on the public by restricting the discretion of the state courts as to publishing opinions. The Superior Court denied attorney's fees on the grounds that the rule had not been eliminated or changed. The state Court of Appeal affirmed. Id. at 882-83.
In 2002, Appellant Schmier brought a third citation-rule challenge in state court. Having unsuccessfully litigated the validity of the publication rules as counsel for his brother in Schmier I and again under the guise of asking for attorney fees in Schmier II, he brought a third Superior Court action in his own name. The decision was published only as to the denial of certiorari by the United States Supreme Court, at Kenneth J. Schmier v. Supreme Court of California, et al., 543 U.S. 818 ( 2004).
Appellant has also litigated against the federal publication rules. In Schmier v. United States Court of Appeals for Ninth Circuit, 279 F.3d 817 (9th Cir. 2002), this Court rejected on standing grounds Appellant Schmier's challenge to the analogous Ninth Circuit citability rule, then Circuit Rule 36-3.
It is clear that the claims below consist entirely of an impermissible effort to invoke a non-existent power of the lower federal courts to reverse decisions as to the precedential value of state-court decisions and to relitigate the validity of the California publication rules. The well-reasoned decision of the district court should be affirmed.

Time runs out for Thomaston's old plow
THOMASTON — With the town's spare plow truck used for cutting back snowbanks in past years out of commission, the town is looking to buy a replacement used truck from the Town of Warren.
Glenn Clark, highway superintendent, told the Board of Selectmen earlier this month that the department's 1991 wing truck used only as a backup or for heavy snowfall, was deemed unsafe by the town mechanic earlier this year.

- Both fiscal and monetary policy will begin to normalize in 2014
- The economy's performance will be an important metric for markets as growth needs to catch up
- The key to getting growth beyond 2% is for business to borrow to improve/expand productive capital
It's happening again—a fourth quarter bounce in economic activity that extends into the first quarter and supports the view that growth really, finally, has started to accelerate. Such bounces have disappointed so far, although it does appear to be more than just hope this time. But the pick-up will be moderate—up to 2% to 3% possibly more with scattered inventory gains. In offering up my more pleasant, but not robust, forecast, I am banking on a number of favorable trends. Some are already in the pipeline and some are just starting to gain modest traction. All involve some rebalance in the economy toward normalization. The first is policy normalization—both fiscal and monetary. The economy has been weighed down to varying degrees by a huge fiscal drag from earlier year tax hikes that hit households and from spending cuts by federal and state governments. While painful, these cuts have rebalanced budget deficits. A year ago, the U.S. budget deficit was 6.5% of gross domestic product (GDP). It will likely fall to less than 4% of GDP in last year's fourth quarter and looks to decline to something near 3% this year. Receipts are up 13% and outlays are down 5.5% in the last year—this is admirable progress. The easing fiscal drag will add to GDP via less subtraction. Indeed, private sector real GDP growth (GDP less government expenditures) is up 3% in the last 12 months versus overall real GDP at 1.7%. With the fiscal drag receding, monetary policy will also begin to normalize, providing less accommodation as large scale asset purchases wind down. This is important as the effects seem to have pushed up markets more than the economic growth. Many ratios relating stock and financial assets to GDP appear extended on a historical basis. For instance, looking at data from the Federal Reserve's (the Fed) quarterly Flow of Funds report, the total worth of financial assets owned by households is at its highest ratio ever compared to GDP (see chart 1). Most of the gains in financial assets have been from equities, mutual funds and pension reserves. They appear about 12% higher than their average over the last 20 years relative to GDP. The economy, of course, could grow faster to normalize the ratio, but would require an unlikely 7.5% growth for two years straight. Nevertheless, the economy's performance is an important metric for markets in the coming year, as growth needs to catch up.

Two additional sectors where rebalancing is likely to add to domestic production are trade and capital spending. As to trade, the catalyst here is incremental domestic energy production and the diminishing dependency on oil imports which materially narrow trade deficits. Petroleum imports fell 6% (the lowest level since 1996), and petroleum exports rose 4% (to record highs) adjusted for inflation. The shale revolution together with increased energy efficiency has put the U.S. on the path toward energy independence, which can lower domestic energy costs and boost production onshore. Finally, one area that has failed to lift in recent years is capital spending. I do not expect a vigorous recovery here, but some firming should be expected in the coming year enough to raise capital investment growth from near 2% to about 8% this year. The key to getting growth to accelerate beyond 2% is for business to borrow to improve and expand their productive capital, not return it to shareholders in the form of dividends. This capital deepening can begin to close the output gap and is probably what the markets are counting on. We are beginning to see some lift in private sector construction spending on offices, commercial space and manufacturing plants (see chart 2).

Consumers (70% of growth) appear a bit hamstrung. Spending has picked up slightly in the last six months, but the credit goes to falling inflation and another dig into savings—neither is sustainable. A pickup in income and wages is required which will be keyed off stronger labor markets. But gains remain only near trend, even forgiving the weather-related weakness in December. Personal income is rising only 2.3% year over year and is barely changed (essentially no growth) after adjusting for inflation and taxes. This area has failed to rebalance and remains challenged, particularly as businesses assess staffing and planned costs of the ACA (Obamacare). The global growth story as well appears a mix—capital flows are rebalancing and demand drivers are few with lots of excess supply putting downward pressure on inflation. Investors should note that this rebalance to better growth may also require some squaring by markets, particularly in light of policy shifts.

does time really heal ALL wounds?
We were incredibly fortunate this past May.
At the end of a terrible day of thunderstorms, our apartment building was hit by a very weak tornado. No one in our complex was injured. The last of the repairs and inspections were finished up last week. If you drove around now, you'd never know something so destructive tore through here six months ago.
I remember my heart pounding so loud and so hard that I legitimately was worried that I was going to have a heart attack. I remember Babyface wrapping his arms around me and Puppyface as tight as he could while our roof ripped off. I remember hyperventilating when we stepped out onto the street and realized just how extensive the damage was. I remember walking through the flooded streets in the pitch black, hoping there were no live power lines in the flood waters.
There are a lot of things I remember from that night and the days after. But one thing I wish I didn't remember? The fear.
Growing up, I was always afraid of storms. I grew up in a mobile home, and there are few things more terrifying than weathering a Midwestern severe storm in a wooden box on cinder blocks. The fear was so paralyzing that I became embarrassingly hysterical even when storms hit while I was at school. Even after we moved into a new house with a sturdy basement, it took years to feel safe. By the time I got to college, I was vigilant, but not fearful, but it took a long time to get there.
In college, a tornado hit my home town. It ravaged my college roommate's parents' house back home (we were best friends in high school, hence the college roomies thing). After we found out that their house had been hit, I tried desperately for an hour to get in touch with my parents (who live just down the road) and by the time we could finally get connected, I had worked myself into a hysterical mess. I was determined they were trapped under the house and I was 90 minutes away at college.
All turned out okay (except for, you know, the destroyed house) and amazingly enough, my childhood fear of storms stayed in check. Sure, it was a scary event, but not enough to spiral me into a fit of paralyzing fear. I felt recovered. I felt matured. I was so proud of how I handled it.
Understandably, I expected to come through the other side of "my" tornado with the same poise. The twister that hit my hometown did a lot more damage than the one that hit us this May. Logically, you'd think that it'd make less of an emotional dent.
Emotions are, by their very nature, illogical.
When severe thunderstorms came through last night, I found myself worked up into a vintage Cass panic attack. I regressed. As soon as the tornado watch was announced, my heart started pounding. I wanted to call my Mama. I wanted to spend the evening in the bathroom. I wanted to call up my friends and find someone with a basement. I checked and re-checked our jump kit. I wanted Babyface and Puppyface within arms reach at all times. I all but begged Babyface to come home from work early. Most of all, I just so desperately desired for it to be over.
So maybe I'm not as recovered as I thought.
Does time really heal all wounds? Will I feel better about this in a month or a year? At what point is it no longer normal? Could it be that there are certain wounds that don't heal, even after the longest time?
I don't know. But I do know I'd be nice to figure out what is going on by spring, or it's going to be one very long storm season.
What are you afraid of?

I never got over my fear of tornadoes when I lived in Indiana, so I definitely understand. I freaked out every time the sirens went off, and I'd hide in my bathtub until they stopped.
I have a huge, huge fear of flying. We went to NC from this past Wednesday to this past Saturday and I shook like a leaf the entire flight down there. And on Saturday, I was so scared and shaking and crying that we up and rented a car and DROVE back up to NH (yes, 14 hours) because I was just too scared to board a plane. I wish that I didn't have this fear and I'm going to actively work on getting over it, but I understand the hysterical, paralyzing fear that comes with being so afraid. It's awful.
I don't think the fear ever goes away; it just may get a little suppressed and easier to manage. I was rescued by helicopter (yay Blue Angels) from a rooftop during Hurricane Agnes in 1972–and I still have a visceral fear reaction every single time I hear a helicopter overhead.
I'm so sorry you had to deal with all this destructive tragedy. I can't imagine the emotions or feelings that you experienced witnessing first hand the strength and destruction that mother nature decides to put some of us through.
Since I've never experienced such a tragedy first hand, I can tell you that time does heal all wounds. While time may heal the wound, the scar will always be there. How long will it take? It varies depending on its severity. You'll know you have completely healed when a period of time passes, and the fear does not cross your mind.
I was at Virginia Tech when we experienced that unfortunate event on April 16, 2007. I was not in the building when it happened. I was driving to campus when all the events transpired. I remember seeing the police cars flying by me from where the first even occurred to the other side of campus. I had a really good friend in the classroom where he tried to enter–but the bravery of the students to barricade themselves in saved all their lives. She has continued to live her life to the fullest (just the way one of our late friends taught us all to live). My GTA in my 2008 Fall Semester class was the victim seen in all the photos being carried out the building. Such a tragedy did not stop him from continuing on and pursuing his dreams. There were others affected that I knew from either working in the dining halls or through acquaintances. While I was not there first hand–I could only imagine what could have happened if he chose another time or place. Whenever I find myself slipping back into wondering "what if"–I watch this video, which always brings tears to my eyes. I hope that it might help you. Uniting the strengths of others with your own helps the wounds to heal.
How scary! I'm glad no one was hurt. Tornados and earthquakes terrify me, though I've never been in one.
What scares me? Oh gosh, where do I start? haha. I'm really bad at thinking of worst case scenarios, though I never actually say them out loud. I'm always terrified that the worst things will happen to me or to people I love (I guess it comes from my anxiety). It creates some awful nightmares.
But at the same time, I'm kinda thankful for this hyper-awareness, because I never take my loved ones for granted. Life is really short, and I think it's important to show affection, let go of anger, and love with abandon. My two cents <3
Have you thought about seeing someone about your fear of storms? Phobias are conquerable. I got over my social phobias with help from a professional and very understanding friends.
My family was hit really, really hard by The Recession. Mom lost her job, we lost our house, had to sell off a lot of stuff, I teetered on the edge of homelessness, my brother had to drop out of college (and actually spent a few weeks homeless)… it was hard.
I have a terrible fear of going through all that again. In fact, it was a huge paradigm shift. I changed my degree to something more "employable," picked up another job, and gave up a lot of my dreams in order to get into a stable career. I have panic attacks when I hear that The Recession is pretty much here to stay for a while. The Eurozone debt crisis? Keeps me up at night, no joke. I know this all sounds silly, but I've had this knot of fear in my stomach for two years and I'm not really sure it'll ever go away.
I used to be terrified of tornados. One went through my home town was I was 4 or 5 and we saw the destruction before we knew how bad it was. For years the sound of the tornado siren caused me to panic. It's gotten better, and a few years ago I purchased a house with no basement, which is very uncommon in my area. The odd thing is that this house is so sturdy that I'm not nearly as worried as in my old house, where it seemed everything shook and rattled when a storm came.
Now I've developed a fear of snakes. I have tons of harmless garter snakes in my yard and I'm terrified. I thought I was getting over it, and then this fall there were over a dozen snakes, some a few feet long. I no longer go in my yard, and gardening used to be one of my greatest joys. I'm glad it's turning cold and they will be hibernating the rest of the winter, I don't know what I'm going to do in spring.
My mom was in the tornado a few years ago in Iowa that hit the Boy Scout camp and killed four of the boys. It was absolutely awful, and although she's gotten a lot better, storms still make her VERY anxious. We were at a quilt show about a year after the tornado and it was just a regular thunderstorm approaching, a little windy, and she completely panicked-I was worried enough I called my Dad to try and figure out what I could do to help. Now, she handles storms better but is always very aware of the weather and gets anxious when there are tornado watches or warnings anytime where family lives (and since this is Nebraska, Illinois and Indiana it's fairly often). Mom did go and talk with a counselor after the tornado, and I think that helped her better understand her feelings, and not feel as guilty for how she felt (I think especially since there were deaths, and she was one of the adults at the camp).
My biggest fear is that my husband will get sick again. He was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder 2.5 years ago and completely disappeared for two months. It was absolutely the worse thing I've ever had to deal with. He's back now, and on a treatment plan and doing VERY very well, but it's still scary. It's also hard to not over react every time he has just a normal bad or sad day (like we all have) and think he's having another episode.

For a table of swatches that shows the available predefined brush colors, see Brushes.
This dependency property also has an attached property usage. In XAML, the usage is <object TextElement.Foreground="value".../>, where object is an object element (typically a flow element) contained within a TextElement, and value is a string that resolves to a Brush implementation value. In code, the attached property usage is supported by the GetForeground and SetForeground methods. The attached property usage is not common, because most elements that can be contained in a TextElement support an analogous nonattached Foreground property, which the content host uses for rendering.
The following example shows how to set the Foreground attribute, using Paragraph as the example element.
The following figure shows how the preceding example renders.

'House of Cards' Hammy, Addictive
It may be impossible to write a drama about politics that doesn't come off as ham-handed, over-the-top, and laughable. This is probably because actual politics reverberate with mundane news-cycle non-events, punctuated by overseas disasters and domestic high school snippiness and gossip-mongering. Politics is too stultifying to actually dramatize for film or television.

From Bozeman to Khwisero: Engineers Without Borders
Montana State University
Students from Montana State's Engineers Without Borders are responsible for bringing potable water and clean sanitation facilities to 58 primary schools and the surrounding communities of the Khwisero District in Kenya.
The project has resulted in a long-term commitment and cultural exchange between MSU undergraduate students and the Khwisero community.
The Montana State University student chapter of Engineers Without Borders (EWB) is a student-initiated and largely student-managed partnership between Montana State University students and faculty; the Bozeman, MT community; and the people of Khwisero District of Western Province, Kenya.
In 2004, the university's then newly established EWB Student Chapter accepted a proposal by Kenyan architect Ronald Omyonga for a partnership to develop potable water and sanitation facilities for 58 primary schools in the Khwisero District. The scope of the partnership, consisting of instituting projects at a multitude of schools and sustaining them over the long-term, is unique. Like other EWB chapters, the MSU chapter designs and generates financial resources for infrastructure facilities. But unlike other chapters, MSU's project necessitates building sustainable relationships across race, class and cultural difference. Indeed, EWB has embarked on an ambitious project whose success depends on securing the on-going trust of, and collaboration with, the people of Khwisero. As the students are fond of saying, EWB is engaged in "a social project with an engineering component."
Initial fundraising allowed a two-person EWB team to visit Khwisero in 2004 and let to the determination that potable water was best delivered to schools via deep-well boreholes. Additional fundraising allowed teams to return and drill boreholes at Mr. Omyonga's childhood school and at a second school in 2006 and 2007 respectively. By 2007-2008, EWB's success had attracted a larger and more diverse generation of enthusiastic students. It included, for example, a film student who directed and produced The Water Carriers, an award-winning film about the interactions between a EWB student and a member of the Khwisero community.
Today, EWB is the largest and most successful student-led organization at MSU with more than 60 active students representing every college within the university. With local fundraising and grant writing, the group has raised over $375,000 for project implementation, drilled wells at seven primary schools, constructed composting latrines at five schools and a biogas latrine at another, designed a distribution pipeline to link one of the wells to additional schools, a health clinic and a market, and sent over 75 MSU students to collaborate with the people of Khwisero in their development efforts. In addition, the group has developed peripheral projects benefiting various communities in Montana, including Native American tribes.
EWB has also transformed how students and faculty interact—student leaders are actively involved on university committees focused on curriculum development. Students and faculty are collectively progressing interdisciplinary, service learning and global action initiatives across the campus. New international outreach initiatives, not directly associated with EWB, are also expanding as a result of this organization's groundwork. This partnership has realized an unanticipated reach, as communities throughout Montana have become connected to the Khwisero community. And locally, EWB project work is expanding to communities across Montana.

The Grass Valley Marine Corp League is holding their first Semper Fi Spaghetti Feed is this Friday March 30th from 6 to 10 at the Grass Valley Veterans Memorial Building. The Nevada Union High School Jazz Band will provide entertainment and veteran Gary Miller says the meal will be meatless which, during lent, means anyone can enjoy the meal.
"The provider of the spaghetti sauce is Barilla and they're giving us a meatless spaghetti sauce, or marinara sauce and that's all we're using. So we'll have tossed salad along with that and we're going to have French bread, again, donated by Truckee Sourdough. We have a lot of help in putting this on and we can satisfy those people that are concerned about eating meat on Friday."
Tickets are ten dollars for adults children 12 and under are free. Marine Dave Voors says the money will be used to benefit local veterans.
"We have our own Adopt a Squad program. So when the Marines from Sacramento are deployed around the world, those people first because they're the closest Marine unit to our area, we contribute money to Friends of the Nevada County Military. So we support the troops year round, we support wounded warriors and Fisher House. For those who don't know what Fisher House is, it's kind of like a Ronald McDonald House for military families."
No host bar and a bake sale silent auction will be going on as well. Tickets will be available at the door or you can get more information about the event and also about membership by going to (www) MCL885 dot org.

If you're a credentialed journalist for a media outlet, you can receive the latest issues and topics in food and nutrition delivered direct to your inbox.
Media Contacts: Ryan O'Malley, Allison MacMunn 800/877-1600, ext. 4769, 4802 email@example.com
During National Nutrition Month® and beyond, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly the American Dietetic Association) encourages everyone to include healthy foods from all food groups through this year's theme: "Get Your Plate in Shape."
"Vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean proteins and low-fat dairy products contain the nutrients we need to maintain healthy lifestyles," says registered dietitian and Academy Spokesperson Andrea Giancoli. "Make sure your eating plan includes foods from all the food groups and in appropriate portions. USDA's MyPlate is a great tool to guide and help us be mindful of the foods that make up our balanced eating plan."
Giancoli offers the following recommendations to "Get Your Plate in Shape":
Make half your plate fruits and vegetables.
Make at least half your grains whole.
Switch to fat-free or low-fat milk.
Vary your protein choices.
Cut back on sodium and empty calories from solid fats and added sugars.
Giancoli recommends cooking more often at home, where you are in control of what is in your food. "And don't forget that exercise and healthful eating are crucial to maintaining a healthy lifestyle," Giancoli says. "Choose activities you enjoy like going for a walk with your family, joining a sports team, dancing or playing with your children. If you don't have a full 30 minutes, carve out 10 minutes three times a day. Every bit adds up and health benefits increase the more active you are."
As part of National Nutrition Month, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics' National Nutrition Month website includes helpful tips, recipes, fun games, promotional tools and nutrition education resources, all designed to spread the message of good nutrition around the "Get Your Plate in Shape" theme.

GSI Group Inc. Announces Refinancing Of Debt
BEDFORD, Mass., Oct. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- GSI Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GSIG) (the "Company" or "GSI"), a global leader and supplier of laser-based solutions, precision motion controls and technologies, and semiconductor systems to global industrial, electronics, medical, and scientific markets, announced today the refinancing of all of its outstanding 12.25% Senior Secured PIK Election Notes due 2014 through the proceeds from a new $80 million senior secured credit agreement, with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Silicon Valley Bank, as Syndication Agent, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Book Manager, and HSBC.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110719/MM38089LOGO )
"We are very pleased to announce the completion of our debt refinancing, which was a major item on our strategic agenda for 2011 and represents an important step forward for the Company," said John A. Roush, Chief Executive Officer of GSI Group Inc.
The Credit Agreement provides for a $40 million, 4-year, term loan facility and a $40 million, 4-year, revolving credit facility and matures in 2015. The Company's cash balance as of the end of the third quarter of 2011 was approximately $51 million. The Company borrowed $73.1 million under the new senior secured credit facility to repay in full the outstanding principal of 12.25% Senior Secured PIK Election Notes.This refinancing is expected to substantially reduce the Company's interest expense, while extending the maturity of its principal debt. The Company expects annual interest cost of approximately $2.3 million on $73.1 million of debt, which provides for roughly $6.7 million in interest cost savings. Along with the July 2011 pre-payment of $35 million of the 12.25% notes, the refinancing is expected to save nearly $10 million per year in interest from the run rate at the beginning of this year. Outstanding borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus an initial spread of 275 basis points through March 31, 2012, subject to adjustment thereafter based on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio. In addition, the new Senior Credit Facility allows the Company to draw upon a $40 million committed Revolving Credit Facility and a $25 million uncommitted incremental facility, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary covenants. "Our new credit facility substantially lowers our financing costs, greatly improving our overall capital structure, and provides the Company with additional flexibility to execute on our strategic initiatives," said Robert Buckley, Chief Financial Officer for GSI Group Inc. "In addition, this new credit facility reflects the significant progress the Company has made this year and the support we are seeing from the financial community and our lending institutions."

The Olympus FL-50R TTL Shoe Mount Flash is a fully-featured and powerful shoe mount flash that also offers wireless flash operation. Control is possible directly from the camera without the need for cables. This flash unit is the ideal accompaniment to the Olympus E-3, which features a newly-developed RC Data Transfer System that transmits data optically. This significantly reduces the power consumption of the built-in flash when being used as the system commander. Flash control is available in three groups, allowing flash mode and compensation settings to be set independently for each group - thus enabling ultra-precise illumination. Four remote control communication channels can be set by the user to avoid interference with other peripherals in the vicinity.
The FL-50R flash offers all the features a professional wants to produce professional-caliber results. Along with the standard bounce and swivel capability, power zoom and a full range of TTL Automatic, Automatic and Manual flash modes, the FL-50R offers the Super FP Mode. This allows for flash sync at speeds up to 1/4000th second so fill-flash can be used in the brightest of situations. This is achieved by the flash's ability to fire before the shutter opens and stay illuminated until after the shutter closes. Designed specifically for digital photography, the FL-50R flash also has more even illumination with less corner fall-off than traditional film flashes.

Who is dating who is always interesting for people, especially when it is regarding celebrities and popular folks. Well here we are about to discuss one of the rapidly flourishing association in technology industry and yes both parties are super popular i.e. cloud computing and mobile. Coming to the point businesses and users are looking for availability of data, email and applications anytime and from any location whether they are at home, on-premise or on move. Marketplace is highly competitive, there are lots of big players, startups and midsize companies competing to capture the market and hence businesses wants employees to be connected irrespective of their location and devices they are using.
Anytime availability and unlimited storage is critical for businesses and hence use of mobile devices and Smartphones has tremendously increased in past few years. Almost 70% of workforce in North America relies on mobile devices. With the cloud computing technologies delivery of mobile apps and access of data with mobile platforms is much more feasible and easy. The motive to use mobile devices in business is to achieve work flexibility and anytime data access. How cloud computing helps in this? It's very simple actually. You can use your light and smart devices for accessing applications and data, communication with peers but obviously you cannot store data in these consumer centric devices. In actual we don't do computation on these devices but these devices consume applications and we do computation with them. The actual data could be hosted over the cloud and hence available anytime from anywhere. Cloud computing makes employees to access their business email anywhere with SaaS services like Exchange 2010 hosting and enables efficient collaboration and sharing with services like SharePoint 2010 hosting. Apart from SaaS services Cloud servers' i.e Virtual Private Server provides flexible yet secure option for storage as compared to traditional servers. These cloud services provides cost effectiveness and with some configuration could be easily accessed with various types of mobile devices.
In Consumer electronics sector it's clearly evident from market trends that demand of desktops is decreasing and on the other hand sale of Smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices is skyrocketing. Statistically number of Personal Computers is increasing at the rate of 10% every year and surprisingly number of new mobile devices is crossing the rate of 100%. Businesses have realized that the traditional method of working is no more beneficial. So association of Cloud and mobile seems a promising one. This relationship has grown strong in past few years with more companies adopting hosted solutions over cloud.
The growth of mobile devices is impacting the cloud computing too. Combination of cloud and mobile technology delivers the unique combination of cost advantages, flexibility and scalability. Another great spark in this relationship is potential for solving specific IT problems if used strategically. One direct application could be Blackberry hosting. Blackberry Enterprise Server or BES Hosting combined with hosted Exchange gives company the power to accommodate the demands of mobile users using a variety of BlackBerry and other smart devices, while having good control over corporate IT polices, security, reliability, and customization. So while mobile devices help connectivity, hosted BES enables employees to be connected regardless of their physical location.
Pearl, good point. More specifically I see cloud and virualization are key boardroom topics CIO's will push towards over the next few years, primarily as executive level see the IT operations as the lifeline to the organization and its direct impact on operational revenue. Cloud and virtualization infrastructure, and of course the security of it, will see the convergence of enterprise strategy and IT. It's the next step organizations have already begun moving torwards, augmented with mobile as the mechansim, but overall its will be the speed of which how quickly (or slowly) an organization will move to achieve this.
Randy, welcome to the Enterprise CIO Forum. The lead post on our home page Friday was about "cloud and mobile." You might might find it interesting.
Both Mobile and Cloud are important components to weave the fabric of digitalization, they work together to make business & life always on, the right people can access the right information at the right ime from anywhere, they also enforce the convergence of enterprise IT & consumerization of IT, convergence of software & hardware, convergence of work & life, move step further to the internet of things. thanks.
Rightly said Pearl, you summarized it well. Thanks for landing to the post and taking time to comment.

Nicki Minaj Denies Making Threats Against Mariah, Calls Her 'Shady McGrady'
Things continue to heat up between "American Idol" judges Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj, with new allegations that Mariah has tightened security because she's scared of the head Barb following a blowout during auditions.
On Thursday's "The View," host Barbara Walters revealed that she had spoken with Mariah who said that she had hired extra security after Nicki allegedly said, "If I had a gun, I would shoot that bitch."
"She said she is very concerned," said Walters. "She doesn't feel that anything would happen, but 'Nicki is unpredictable' and Mariah says she can't take a chance and she has hired extra security. Nicki has not apologized, but they have since been together at meetings with producers and judges. There was a meeting yesterday morning. After the meeting, Nicki said to Mariah, 'I love you, but we might fight again.' Mariah responded, 'No, we will not.'"
Walters continued recounting what Mariah told her. "At this point, Mariah said she doesn't feel comfortable emotionally, but she will continue with the show because she loves the show and she loves mentoring the contestants."
Nicki has since gone on a tweeting spree, refuting the allegations. Check out some of her tweets below.

I need help determining if this graphic card will work on my computer.
I have my eye on this card here. I have put my computer specs in my profile so you could view them with ease and you can see the computer I have here (except my power supply is now 600w and I have a GeForce GT 240, again which can be found down where I have put my specs). I also want to upgrade my 8gb ram to 16 gb, so i plan to replace one stick of RAM with this.
So, will that graphic card work with my computer? Will there be conflicts?
|My System Specs
|09 Jul 2013
Hello Delta,
8 to 16 by replacing one stick does not compute.
8 is more than enough for 7 btw unless you suddenly become a developer and won't improve system speed at all unless you get faster memory (all same sticks) and motherboard supports it.
You have a PSU that can handle higher tiered cards, let alone that baby 630.
Windows 7 handles IRQs and such differently, so conflict, not likely assuming replacing the 240.
I suggest you confirm the PCIe 16 slot version on that motherboard BEFORE buying anything, compatibility issue.
If it's v2.0 or higher you are fine, ugly if it's 1.x
|My System Specs
|09 Jul 2013
Thank you very much for your reply! I'm not entirely sure what it means by version 2.0 of PCI-e 16, but I know that I do have that, because every time I turn on my computer, black screen with a few lines of text about my graphic card appears, and one of the things I see is "PCI-Express 16 v.20" so it is that.
Also, thank you for clearing up about the memory. I did my math wrong . So that's why I said 8 to 16. Feel free to make fun of my (lack of) math abilities.
|My System Specs
|10 Jul 2013
OK, cool, you're set then, easily for that 630, I would go to a 640 or consider a Radeon HD 7790 though, if you can afford it, performance jump will be very noticeable. (Go higher tier further if budget allows)
I'd save for a month or two longer if need be that's how wide the performance difference gap becomes from the low end to higher tiers.
They can raise the version numbers but the 2nd # on the Nvidia cards is the important one. A 210 is just lucky to be working... good performance wise a second digit of 6 (or higher) is start of the sweet spot, 4/5 is OK, 3 and lower, bottom tier fare, lucky to run the games and be playable at 800 by 600 res with low settings, in general.
I digress...
PCIe x16 has multiple revisions, 2.0 and higher is backwards compatible from the newest cards, 1.x likely wouldn't be, could, but likely NOT. (That info is usually printed on the BOX).
see hwcompare.com for comparing video cards.
GeForce GT 640 DDR3 vs Radeon HD 7790 – Performance Comparison Benchmarks @ Hardware Compare
Didn't see 630 listed, it's that bad, promise.
EVGA 02G-P4-2645-KR GeForce GT 640 2GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card - Newegg.com
Newegg.com - MSI R7790-1GD5/OC Radeon HD 7790 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
A 650 is about double a 640 in price.
Radeon HD 7750 is about same cost as the 640, and the 7770 is $20 less than the 7790.
I did assume you wanted this for improved gaming performance, btw. muhaha
Higher tier than 640 and 7790 you start to get into the more power hungry cards as well, although a 600W good PSU would handle MOST of them.
|My System Specs
|11 Jul 2013
Thank you, thank you very much. That was a really helpful reply! I'll start looking into the 640, I can wait to save up (I mean, I've already been living with my current set up for quite a while. I can wait ). Yeah, this is for gaming. I'm not necessarily looking to play max graphics on currents games, but I definitely don't want low settings.
