Cucusoft iPhone Ringtone Maker 2.45
Create a custom ringtone in the blink of an eye
From the moment you run the application until the end result is provided you need mostly select the desired file. Sadly, the only way you are able to do this is by using the file menu, because of the unsupported drag and drop feature.
In case you prefer the beginning of a song, hitting the 'Create Ringtone Now!" generates your desired file almost instantly. Once finished, a message asks you whether you want to open the output folder to view the result, and even bring up iTunes to sync with the device.
Apply fade effect and preview the result
By default, the application enhances your new ringtone with fade effects properly placed at beginning and end. These can be toggled off, as well as setting the intensity with the help of a slider. All this time you can choose to play the selected song.
Furthermore, an option gives you the possibility to limit the ringtone to a 30 seconds fixed duration, or manually drag edges to fine tune. Moreover, batch creation is possible, each ringtone having its own custom length and fade effect.
To end with
Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Cucusoft iPhone Ringtone Maker is an easy way to make your phone play a unique sound that represents you. The user interface is intuitive enough, and it is only a matter of time before your phone is fitted with a new ringtone.

Although attribution modelling isn't a new concept, in recent months it has been gaining a lot of traction in the world of multichannel digital marketing.

Some Thoughts on Digital Attribution Models
Digital advertising has a distinct advantage over traditional forms of advertising in that it can monitor the ads to which customers respond, as well as draw direct connections between specific ads and actual purchases.

Supreme Court Helps Tobacco Stocks: Dave's Daily
Other than a friendly Supreme Court decision not to review a tobacco case; a "bear raid" on gold; a sharp rally in bonds and a positive report from Micron Technology after the close made Monday pretty dull. I was contemplating an escape from writing much given market action; but, it's raining so I may as well do some work.
This should be a slow week until Jobless data hits on Thursday and Friday. Then action might become more volatile as volume slows before the holiday.
For the most part Monday bulls and bears toyed with one another finding little direction and basically giving up in the end.Importantly and away from tech some important sectors like materials and consumer discretionary were quite weak. Monday's volume was again light and breadth modestly negative. The NYMO is a market breadth indicator that is based on the difference between the number of advancing and declining issues on the NYSE. When readings are +60/-60 markets are extended short-term. The McClellan Summation Index is a long-term version of the McClellan Oscillator. It is a market breadth indicator, and interpretation is similar to that of the McClellan Oscillator, except that it is more suited to major trends. I believe readings of +1000/-1000 reveal markets as much extended. The VIX is a widely used measure of market risk and is often referred to as the "investor fear gauge". Our own interpretation is highlighted in the chart above. The VIX measures the level of put option activity over a 30-day period. Greater buying of put options (protection) causes the index to rise. Fear creeps-in...again. Continue to Major U.S. Markets

Five Things Weird Al Critiques in Mandatory Fun
By Steve Brennan
By Ashley Zimmerman
For every musical prodigy, there will be a score of rabid critics eager to decry and defame. This is certainly true for Chinese piano virtuoso Lang Lang. His was a troubled career from the start. At 9 years old, after winning contests and playing highly regarded public recitals, Lang Lang was invited to audition for a spot at Beijing's Central Conservatory of Music. However, he was quickly dismissed by his tutor for lack of talent, although he was eventually accepted in the program a few years later. Fast-forward to today and Lang Lang is still the subject of hot critical dispute. Although some praise him for his expressive, sometimes-bombastic style, others decry him as little more than a piano-pounding child, citing his bravado as immaturity and lack of sensitivity to his subject matter. Regardless, all can agree that Lang's performances have an air of spectacle, with Lang frequently channeling Jerry Lee Lewis' physical animation behind the bench.

Hi, great code! Thanks for sharing! :)
Two small bugs...
1) The current MinHeap will keep adding elements instead of updating them.
The fix is to remove the extra "useBackIdx" condition in "MyHeap.H" in the MinHeap->void push() function.
So change line 316
if( useBackIdx || backIdx[index] == -1 ){
if( backIdx[index] == -1 ){
2) To get this code to work on a 64-bit machine I had to change the addresses from "long" to "unsigned long long". I did this change pretty much anytime something I saw something was cast to a "long".
Hope that helps!
Thanks! -- Jeremy

MySQL: Followup on UNION for query optimization, Query profiling
Few days ago I wrote an article about using UNION to implement loose index scan. First I should mention double IN also works same way so you do not have to use the union. So changing query to:

Nate Robinson's return to New York might be spoiled
Player receives 14 DNP-CDs in a row from his coach. Player returns from said DNP-CDs to score 41 points, off the bench, in a win against the Atlanta Hawks. Player continues squabbling with coach, leading to player's trade from the team. Player lands on new team, a championship contender (at least on paper), and becomes the team's sixth man. Player returns to his old gym to face his old team, a couple months after being traded away, and scores point after point after point after point, blowing kisses at his former coach after every bucket while proving just how badly his former coach misjudged him.
Man, dreaming is good. In reality, Nate Robinson won't be blowing Mike D'Antoni any kisses tonight, and he probably won't be scoring any points either. Actually, it's likely he won't even be inserted into the game. It's Robinson's first game back in New York, but it looks like he'll get another DNP-CD. Being out of the rotation sure does suck.

Jacob Getson, 'Renaissance Man'
November 17, 1999
By Mary Blakinger, INQUIRER SUBURBAN STAFF
Jacob R. Getson, 60, of North Wales, whose career took him from work with street gangs to the executive suite of a health insurance provider, died Sunday at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital after a year-long battle with kidney cancer. "Jake was one of the few Renaissance men I've ever met," said Rabbi Gregory Marx of Getson's synagogue, Congregation Beth Or in Spring House. "He was a spiritual man. He had tremendous social convictions in terms of fighting poverty and racism," Rabbi Marx said.
Renaissance Wind Band 'Visits' Italy
October 26, 1993
By Daniel Webster, INQUIRER MUSIC CRITIC
The tradition of wind instrumentalists livening the courts of Europe was a mark of the Renaissance. It produced a vast repertoire of music, colorful composers and even competition among princes for the services of the virtuoso players. The Renaissance Wind Band devoted its opening concert to exploring that tradition. In its program Saturday at Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church, the ensemble presented works categorized by the Italian cities that spawned them. To help bridge players and listeners, ensemble members read contemporary letters and writings that showed how the wind players were regarded in their time.
No renaissance status for West Philadelphia High
June 3, 2010
By DAFNEY TALES, email@example.com 215-854-5084
West Philadelphia High School will not become a Renaissance school in the fall after school district officials learned last week that a group associated with a potential provider paid some parents $500 each, a district source said. A source with knowledge of the situation said officials became skeptical of Johns Hopkins University/Diploma NOW when officials received reports that a group associated with it that would have provided support services in the school, dished out the dough to four parents on West's school advisory council for outreach.
Letters To The Editor No Renaissance?
March 19, 1987
James J. Kilpatrick (Op-ed Page, March 13) should not have accepted U.S. District Judge W. Brevard Hand's findings about "secular humanism" upon which the judgment was made, in separating church from state, that "this religion denies the transcendent and the supernatural, therefore God. " Fundamentalists and extremist Catholics rightly deserve correction, since their ideas are retrogressive remnants of the darker aspects of medievalism. Without secular humanism as it is understood in its true sense, there would have never existed the Renaissance, its poets, such as Dante and Petrarch, its artists, such as Michelangelo, Leonardo, Brunelleschi, Giotto, the whole spirit of Platonism that gave us Roger Bacon, Copernicus, Galileo, etc. Without secular humanism neither would there have existed the romantic geniuses of literature, art and music.
Edgy DJ is about to become a 'Renaissance' man
September 14, 2001
By Lloylita Prout FOR THE INQUIRER
Alex Lauterstein, a former architecture student, knows how to build. And the Uruguay native has taken to the turntables to engineer remixes. His edginess has won over clubgoers at New York's Roxy, Limelight, and Twilo Night Club - not to mention impressing Peter Rauhofer enough to garner a collaboration with the Grammy winner. He was also named "Best DJ" by Philadelphia magazine. In a marathon jam beginning at 11 p.m. Saturday and continuing until noon Sunday, Lauterstein will present his techno sound at Transit for the premiere of "Renaissance," a party that will also include Peter Bailey, Lee Jones, Dozia, Johnny Amsterdam and Gregg Foreman on the turntables To get away from the overplayed anthems of Benjamins and Cristal, head to the Grape Street Pub on Wednesday for "Thaphilliblaze," some non-formula hip-hop.
Where Others Understand Renaissance Welcomes "Transgendered" People.
July 3, 1990
By Kimberly J. McLarin, Inquirer Staff Writer
For years Ron sat alone in his room, all cross-dressed up and no place to go. Through his growing-up years near Chicago, through the near-misses of his frat-boy days in college, through the telling of the secret to his high school sweetheart and the trauma that ensued, Ron dressed in private, far away from everyone. No more. Not since the Renaissance. Once a month, he meets in a pastel-shaded suite in the heart of a King of Prussia office park with others like himself: men (and sometimes a few women)
Renaissance Under Way On Riverfront Near Airport
March 29, 1988
That area along the Delaware River, anchored on the north by Philadelphia International Airport and Tinicum Township, and on the south by Chester and Marcus Hook, is on the verge of a major renaissance. This 14.6-mile riverfront corridor in eastern Delaware County consists of old abandoned plants and buildings, an underdeveloped waterfront, a series of one-industry-type towns and an extensive but outdated network of rail and highway facilities. A pervading sense of despair, long entrenched by the lack of any real progress toward returning to its past position of industrial strength, has mesmerized the area.
Work launched in Camden on state's first 'Renaissance' school
March 7, 2014
By Julia Terruso, Inquirer Staff Writer
CAMDEN As contractors laid groundwork outside for the state's first "Renaissance" school, Gov. Christie and South Jersey political figures gathered inside - at the neighboring Cooper Medical School of Rowan University - to raise silver shovels to ceremonially launch the work. KIPP Cooper Norcross Academy is slated to be the first of the hybrid district/charter schools established under the Urban Hope Act. It will open in a temporary facility in the fall of 2014 with 100 kindergarten students, who will then move to the permanent 110,000-square-foot facility for elementary and middle school students in the fall of 2015, organizers say. "This stuff isn't easy to do," Christie said of turning around the city's struggling public school district, "but nor should it be easy for us to continue to ignore these children.
Critics say charters given unfair advantage for Renaissance schools
April 4, 2014
BY SOLOMON LEACH, Daily News Staff Writer email@example.com, 215-854-5903
AS HEAD of the School Advisory Council at Steel Elementary, Kendra Brooks should be one of the first people to learn about major potential changes at the school, which two of her children attend. Apparently, that doesn't apply when a charter operator is poised to take it over. Brooks, co-founder of a community organization in Nicetown, said she was blindsided Friday when another parent told her that Mastery Charter Schools had been chosen to turn around Steel - three days before it was announced by the School District of Philadelphia.
'Renaissance,' a stark thriller that lays it all out in black and white
September 29, 2006
By BOB STRAUSS Los Angeles Daily News
Watching "Renaissance," you get very excited whenever a little shade of gray appears. Sounds kind of pathetic, doesn't it? This French animated thriller is presented in high-contrast, digitized black and white that is quite striking, actually, packed with richly delineated details and amazing lighting schemes. But artistic as it undeniably is, the two-tone effect grows tedious fast. And since it's coupled with a mystery story that's humdrum from the start, boredom multiplies.

Legislation promoting Camden 'Renaissance' schools now law
October 1, 2014
By Julia Terruso, Inquirer Staff Writer
Legislation clearing the way for an additional "Renaissance" school operator to come to Camden and expanding the powers of the three already approved in the city is now law. The bill, which passed easily in the Senate but squeaked by in the Assembly, extends the application deadline for Renaissance school projects, and permits the use of reconstructed facilities and temporary space while the organizations build new schools. It was fiercely opposed by the teachers' union and community members who traveled to Trenton Monday, the day of the Assembly vote.
Camden school district makes improvements; adds 3 Renaissance schools
September 2, 2014
By Julia Terruso, Inquirer Staff Writer
When Paymon Rouhanifard was appointed by the state a year ago to lead the Camden School District, one of the first questions asked was whether he planned to make Camden an all-charter district. Then, as today, he said he focused on "great schools, not the package they come in. " "Look, the conversation about district vs. Renaissance vs. charter is not a conversation about what's best for kids," he said in a recent interview. "That's just not the way families choose schools for their students, or else you wouldn't have as many students in traditional charters as you do today, or as many students on the wait lists.
Two companies apply to open 'Renaissance' schools in Camden
July 5, 2014
By Julia Terruso, Inquirer Staff Writer
Five years from now, the majority of Camden's 14,000 students could be attending "Renaissance" schools - a hybrid of district and charter schools - though district officials dismiss that prospect as theoretical. Two applications - from Mastery and Uncommon Schools - are awaiting approval from the state. They would join the already approved KIPP Cooper Norcross Academy in opening networks of Renaissance schools in the struggling district. If the enrollment numbers proposed are hit - which administrators say is highly unlikely - the three schools could be serving 60 percent of the students in Camden.
Bill passes expanding Camden's 'Renaissance' schools' options
June 30, 2014
By Julia Terruso, Inquirer Staff Writer
A Camden-specific bill expanding facility-use options available to "Renaissance" schools narrowly passed Thursday in the state Legislature, to the frustration of the state's largest teachers union. The bill, approved in both the Senate and Assembly, also authorizes early retirement incentives for Camden City School District employees - a provision the union supported. "On the whole, we consider this a loss, but hopefully it will allow some of our members to continue doing what they love, which is working with and teaching New Jersey's children," said Ginger Gold Schnitzer, government relations director for the New Jersey Education Association.
Clearing the record
June 28, 2014
A story Friday about a bill pertaining to Camden's "Renaissance" schools mentioned a provision that was not in the final version of the bill. The bill as passed does not include language saying Renaissance school operators in Camden can use temporary facilities. The schools can renovate and use existing buildings so long as they first build a new facility and use it to house at least 20 percent of the students enrolled in the Renaissance school project.
Bill would make 'Renaissance' schools eligible for tax credits
June 26, 2014
By Andrew Seidman and Julia Terruso, Inquirer Staff Writers
TRENTON - In an evening of drama, New Jersey lawmakers nearly fast-tracked a bill through the Legislature that would have made "Renaissance" schools in Camden eligible for tax credits and would offer early retirement benefits to certain employees of the public school district. At the eleventh hour, however, a Senate panel pulled the part of the measure pertaining to the tax credits. The bill, sponsored by Assemblyman Troy Singleton (D., Burlington) and Sen. James Beach (D., Camden)
Renaissance riot on Cellblock 9
May 20, 2014
By David Patrick Stearns, Inquirer Music Critic
Acoustics are snappy. Atmosphere is enveloping. So why don't we hear more concerts at Eastern State Penitentiary? That gothic Fairmount Avenue fortress hosts any number of arts-related activities these days, and it turned out to be a perfectly sympathetic venue on Friday for Piffaro, the Renaissance Band, in a program appropriately titled "Prisoners & Penitents. " Gleefully perverse humor was prevalent in a series of ballads, mostly British (John Dowland, Peter Philips, Thomas Weelkes)
Group questions 2 new Camden Renaissance schools
April 16, 2014
By Julia Terruso, Inquirer Staff Writer
A statewide grassroots education group, frequently and oftentimes fiercely critical of the state's charter school laws, is questioning whether Camden's process of bringing two more Renaissance schools to the city violated state statute. On Monday, Save Our Schools, founded in 2010, sent a letter to Commissioner David C. Hespe at the Department of Education raising concerns over promotional materials sent home with students last week detailing Mastery and Uncommon Schools. The letter to the commissioner also took issue with the district's application of the Urban Hope Act, which created district-hybrid schools.
Critics say charters given unfair advantage for Renaissance schools
April 4, 2014
BY SOLOMON LEACH, Daily News Staff Writer firstname.lastname@example.com, 215-854-5903
AS HEAD of the School Advisory Council at Steel Elementary, Kendra Brooks should be one of the first people to learn about major potential changes at the school, which two of her children attend. Apparently, that doesn't apply when a charter operator is poised to take it over. Brooks, co-founder of a community organization in Nicetown, said she was blindsided Friday when another parent told her that Mastery Charter Schools had been chosen to turn around Steel - three days before it was announced by the School District of Philadelphia.

Any one have experience with Dare Design & Engineering A-10?
Since GWS A-10 is starting to look like a nogo in USA..thanks HH..anyone have experience with this little plane. their web site really doesnt tell you anything..hand launch, speed, etc. I dont own any edf and am looking for my first, and i want one that i can fly with GWS flite pack..since i have several [i know i will need better esc]. Just looking for any comment on product.

ramw5p, cannot tell you how it flies, but I can tell you the design looks very nice and easy to build. I look at one the other day in the Hobby shop and it looks like it would be a nice flyer.

Dare A-10
I remember there being lots of discussion of the micro A-10s about a year or so ago, but it's sort of died down since then.
Some important things to remember about the plane (I haven't built one myself but followed the discussions at the time):
1) The KP-44s must be set up in series, so on a 7 cell pack they each see about 3.5 volts. Some people were burning up the motors on 8 cell packs or maybe it was at the beginning of the run, hot off the charger when voltage is highest. The solution seemed to be a new motor. The Johnson 180 was disgussed but hard to come by. so someone started using the Kyosho DMC20BB motors and that seemed to fix the problem but the cell count had to be increased to 9 or 10 cells (600AEs or 500As). Go to www.electricjetfactory.com, they sell this motor with the fan unit and call it the EDF200 Turbo. Dare also sells the fan unit for this plane, but the price in the hobby shop I saw was 40 bucks for one unit and motor. I'd go with the EJF (electric jet factory) option. Who wants to burn up motor after motor?
2) Don't remember if this was discussed much but a inlet lip of some sort would be a good idea on the fan, it would help increase thrust at low speeds. Some people were making a slit in fuel tubing and sliding it on the leading edge of the fan housing. You could also make one from balsa or foam, even built a whole nacelle.
I think flight speed was about 35 to 40 mph, maybe faster. I know that a Zagi hot off the charger on 8 x 600AEs does about 40mph.

Bipartisan is defined as "relating to or involving members of two political parties."[1]
In a two-party system, like in the United States, bipartisan typically refers to any bill, act, resolution or any other action of a political body in which both of the major political parties, Republicans and Democrats, are in agreement. Often, compromises are called bipartisan if they reconcile the desires of both parties from an original version of legislation or other proposal, and Often, bipartisanship is referred to "meeting in the middle."[2] This interpretation brings bipartisanship closer to the more applied notion of postpartisan decision-making, a solution-focused approach that creates a governance model with third-party arbiters used to detect bias.
Failure to attain bipartisan support in such a system can easily lead to legislative gridlock, often angering each other, their constituencies and the general public. This is often caused by an increased polarization of the two major parties in power.

Bank Of Hawaii Corporation First Quarter 2012 Financial Results
Noninterest expense was $85.2 million in the first quarter of 2012, up $0.8 million from noninterest expense of $84.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, and down $0.9 million from noninterest expense of $86.1 million in the same quarter last year. Noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2012 included $1.2 million for the final phase of a refresh of the Company's personal computers. There were no significant nonrecurring noninterest expense items during the previous quarter or comparable quarter last year. An analysis of noninterest expenses related to salaries and benefits is included in Table 9.
The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2012 was 27.55 percent compared to 26.06 percent in the previous quarter, and 32.60 percent during the same quarter last year. The lower effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2012 was primarily due to a $2.7 million credit to the provision for income taxes related to the previously disclosed early termination of leveraged leases for two cargo ships. The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2011 was favorably impacted by the release of tax reserves determined during the quarter.
The Company's business segments are defined as Retail Banking, Commercial Banking, Investment Services, and Treasury & Other. Results are determined based on the Company's internal financial management reporting process and organizational structure. Selected financial information for the business segments is included in Table 13.
Asset QualityThe Company's overall asset quality during the first quarter of 2012 reflects the gradually improving Hawaii economy. Total non-performing assets increased to $41.4 million at March 31, 2012 primarily due to the lengthy judiciary foreclosure process for residential mortgage loans. As a percentage of total loans and leases, including loans held for sale and foreclosed real estate, non-performing assets were 0.74 percent at March 31, 2012, a slight increase from 0.73 percent at December 31, 2011 and up from 0.65 percent at March 31, 2011.

Polar Thaw: Global Warming in the Arctic and Antarctic
Photographs from 'World View of Global Warming' by Gary Braasch
A meteorologist installs a radiometer that gathers data on changes in temperature, sunlight intensity, and carbon dioxide. Scientists believe that these far northern, or boreal, forests are especially susceptible to these climate changes. Scientists predict that in a warmer climate regional tree lines will move north, forests will dry and burn more often, and insects will proliferate.

I'm often asked why I decided to get involved with humanist activism. Having reached a point in my career where various options were open - local politics, community service, etc. - why did I decide to invest my resources in humanist activism?
The answer is simple. While much good work can be done in many different ways, I saw (and continue to see) two facts as undeniable:
1. The religious right is one of the most dangerous power centers on the American landscape, not only because of the social agenda that it promotes, but also because of the larger neocon agenda that it inevitably assists; and
2. The emergence of Secular Americans as a recognized American demographic category is an extremely potent antidote to the dangers posed by the religious right.
Obviously, for anyone with a progressive viewpoint, there are many valid causes that might be worthy of energy and effort. The environment, education, women's rights, gay rights, specific political campaigns, and countless other opportunities await those with the ability and willingness to contribute. For me, however, it seems apparent that all of these struggles eventually relate back, at least indirectly (but usually directly), to the fact that America too often exalts conservative religion and vilifies (or, worse yet, ignores) those who prefer to approach the world from a natural standpoint.
This may seem most obvious in the areas of women's rights and gay rights, where conservative religion leads the efforts to obstruct rational public policy, opposing reproductive rights and demonizing gays at every opportunity. But perhaps more importantly, it is conservative religious activists who encourage a general atmosphere of anti-intellectualism in America, suppressing efforts to teach science and misinforming children and the public about a variety of contemporary issues, from climate change to birth control.
And we should realize that it is conservative religion that ultimately empowers neocons, because neocons need the religious right to win elections. This is why neocon policy makers and candidates are so often willing to throw religious conservatives some red meat on social issues. By satisfying the religious right, they become more viable as candidates.
What does secular humanism, and more specifically humanist activism, have to do with all of this? Everything.
Humanism stands for everything that the religious right opposes - critical thinking, education, human rights, smaller military budgets, scientific progress, women's equality, gay rights, international cooperation, and so forth. As such, if one connects the dots logically, one would conclude that humanism in America has enormous potential that has been untapped, and if that potential is eventually realized America is likely to experience a major transformation for the better.
To assess that potential, first consider how small the humanist movement is now (had you even heard of it before?), and then consider how much room for growth already exists. In fact, to tap this potential it is not necessary for organized humanism to find converts; rather, the main task is to simply help the millions of humanists who already dwell on the American landscape realize the importance of identifying openly as such. There's a good chance that many who read this piece are humanists who have never before considered openly identifying as such.
Humanists need to understand the empowerment that comes along with the creation of a recognized demographic category, a group of taxpaying Secular Americans who refuse to have public policy shaped in a manner that vilifies their identity and exalts anti-intellectualism.
If Secular Americans were to ever emerge, the religious right would necessarily weaken as a political force. Surely the religious right has grown so much in the last three decades partly because virtually all Americans, liberal and conservative, have viewed America's religiosity as a defining, unchanging characteristic that could not be seriously questioned. This assumption is changing, and we are seeing more and more open secular identification, especially among younger Americans.
The actual number of humanists is open to debate, depending on whether we use religious practices, beliefs, or identity as the key yardstick. But this much is clear: After watching the religious right's power grow for three decades, Secular Americans have learned that identity and demographic recognition are absolutely essential to reversing such developments.
This is a vibrant movement, and there have already been successes. The newly formed Secular Coalition for America has brought the first lobbyist to Washington specifically representing the interests Secular Americans. Rep. Pete Stark (D-CA) has "come out" as the first openly nontheistic congressman in American history. The American Humanist Association initiated the first national advertising campaign promoting the notion of secular humanist identity, and now numerous groups around the country are doing the same. We now have Camp Quest, a camp for children of nonreligious families, and we have education centers, legal centers, charities, student groups through the Secular Student Alliance, and local groups all around the country, all affirming the notion of secular identity.
The movement was assisted somewhat in recent years by a series of bestselling books debunking religion, and now awaits an important book to be released by HarperCollins this fall from Harvard Humanist Chaplain Greg Epstein, "Good Without God - What a Billion Nonreligious People Do Believe," that promises to educate the public about the positive aspects of the humanist lifestance. Clearly, Secular Americans are emerging, and we have no intention of going back to the closet.
And, importantly, Secular Americans don't for a moment think that the election of Obama has eliminated the danger of the religious right. Critical thinking and rational public policy will not be secure until secular humanists have firmly established themselves as a recognized and respected demographic category, seen by the public, the press, and the government as being worthy of a seat at the table in the American public dialogue. Obviously, there is much work to be done and this is no time for complacency.
Here in Canada we don't have as big a problem with the religious right infiltrating our political system as you do in America (and you can actually get elected here without professing devotion to Jesus), but we do share the common problems of anti-intellectualism and a appalling lack of critical thinking.
As Sam Harris has pointed out; overcoming these issues is crucial to our species surviving the next 50 years, as destructive technologies find their way into the hands of an ever increasing number of religious fundamentalists.
I believe the solution has to lie in the education system. We need to teach our young the value of critical thinking and a life long learning attitude. I also love the proposal that Dan Dennett has put out there, of factually teaching students the basic tenets of most of the world's religions. Let them come to their own conclusions about the validity of all the contradictory truth claims.
Good luck.

Twilio Releases OpenVBX
Open source telephony service for businesses allows drag-and-drop call routing, text-to-speech, voice transcription and voicemail forwarding.
Twilio Cloud Communications announced OpenVBX, an open source, enterprise telephony suite that the company is touting as a Google Voice for businesses. OpenVBX offers virtual phone numbers, conference lines, voicemail-to-Email, voicemail with text transcription, text-to-speech and SMS text messaging, in addition to standard features such as call forwarding and caller ID.
The suite is built on PHP and mySQL, allowing for developers to create custom plugins and additional functionality. This also allows OpenVBX to be integrated into existing phone systems or standalone. For developers, OpenVBX can be skinned, customized and sold, providing a scalable, unique solution for businesses regardless of size.
OpenVBX requires MySQL 5+, PHP (5.2 is recommended), a Twilio Account and a Web server. Twilio itself doesn't provide hosting, but the company does recommend DreamHost for a one-click install. OpenVBX 0.74 can be downloaded at openvbx.org/download.
Not open-sourceThe client libraries may be open-source, but the underlying platform is a fee-based hosted system for which source is not available. Twilio is being disingenuous.

Foundation For Individual Rights In Education (FIRE) Taps Infradapt To Provide VoIP System
PHILADELPHIA, May 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Infradapt, LLC, a leading provider of communications and network infrastructure solutions, announced today that it has been hired by Philadelphia-based Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) to provide VoIP system.
John Reilly, Managing Partner at Infradapt, explains that FIRE had an aging Private Branch Exchange (PBX) platform using expensive and limiting copper lines. The burden of managing a local phone system was an arduous task, and a transfer to a third-party host to offer and manage a feature-rich unified communications system to service their staff of 18, and a host of remote users, would be a viable solution.
FIRE chose Infradapt to install Digium's Switchvox product. The selection allows FIRE to rely on Infradapt's robust hosting architecture including secure cloud facilities with redundant power providers, backup diesel generators, HVAC controlled atmosphere, and redundant and high volume bandwidth, rather than relying on a local appliance and internet connectivity.
Sean Clark, Vice President of Operations, explains that like many other small organizations, FIRE did not want to waste revenue and overhead. Infradapt offered a viable solution that allows the organization to easily manage their product, as they do not have dedicated in-house IT support staff.Clark explains that FIRE selected Infradapt not only because it offered the product and services at a competitive price, but because of the responsiveness Infradapt showcased that was not inherent with other providers. "We reached out to several providers who we found online but our calls went unanswered," says Clark. "We placed one phone call to Infradapt and received a call back promptly. We felt that the level of expertise Infradapt brought, coupled with the fact that they are a local business, would be a good fit. Infradapt was responsive from day one, and still is."

So, last night was the Grammy Awards where Metallica played "One" with some dude on a piano, and people like Macklemore and Snarky Puppy were winners. Man, we're getting old. But there were some awards worth keeping an eye on for movie fans.Read More »
Despite what whoever was pressing the "Jaws" theme button last night believes, the highlights of the annual Academy Awards tend not to be the montages and dance numbers, but the speeches. It's the moment where an actor or artist is rewarded by their peers, and thanks the Academy with wit, graciousne...Read More »
Was Seth MacFarlane the victim of some terrible time-travel accident that caused him – and all his Oscar-show material – to be trapped in the 1950's (and not in a successfully ironic way)? That's the most generous explanation I have for his pathetically unfunny job as Os...Read More »
It's been a good year for the James Bond franchise. Celebrating fifty years, the series has never seemed more vibrant, with "Skyfall" becoming a billion dollar earner and the biggest 007 entry of all time. That feat hasn't been ignored by the Academy, with the movie picking up five...Read More »
If you thought Bond Day was over or that the team behind "Skyfall" were done making you listen to Adele's theme song, guess again. With the official tune dropping yesterday and being very well received (it's certainly the best theme in recent memory), the marketing machine continue...Read More »
Well, that was inevitable. Not even 007 himself could stop Adele's "Skyfall" from leaking early (it's officially set for a premiere at 7:07 p.m. EST tonight or 0:07 am in the U.K. -- you get the connection, right?) and now that it's arrived via a rogue French radio station (sacre bleu!), it confirms...Read More »
A couple of weeks ago it was pretty much confirmed that Brit sensation Adele would be lending her impressive pipes to "Skyfall." But now it's officially official as artwork and details for the song -- also called "Skyfall" -- have arrived.Read More »
While the producers of "Skyfall" have been pretty good at keeping details tightly guarded, one of the worst kept secrets around the production was who was going be singing the theme song for the movie. Adele had been tipped for months, and being a Brit herself, and coming off a six-Grammy win earlie...Read More »
Does anyone still listen to Paul Potts? In case you forgot, he made a brief cultural splash a few years ago when he showed up on "Britain's Got Talent" and wowed audiences Susan Boyle-style, leading to a brief run of concerts and fame, before everyone moved to something else. But a mov...Read More »
In her second appearance as SNL host, Emma Stone proved that her great performance last time was no fluke. She's funny, game, not locked into her own image. The best sketch from last night's show didn't take her far from what might have been one of her movie roles, though, as office...Read More »

The symptoms of bipolar disorder that most grab our attention are the elevated mood states of hypomania and mania. The impulsivity, high energy, rapid speech and euphoria of someone experiencing elevated mood are far more unusual or aberrant than the pessimism, low energy and low self-esteem of depressed mood. So it may be surprising to learn that for those with bipolar disorder, particularly bipolar II, upwards of two thirds of experience is located on the depressive end of the bipolar continuum. Essentially, depression is pretty common for people with bipolar disorder.
Typically, bipolar depression isn't any different from what we might think of as garden-variety depression. Exceptions entail those instances where we see agitated depression or depression with strong irritability. These symptoms are low frequency but do reflect the unique mixed mood state where depressed mood blends with more intense energy. Yet for most that are bipolar, depression is mostly depression. Anergic, gloomy and painful.

Photo Series of Students Posing in Their Housing Around the World
Images Connect is an international photo project by photographer Henny Boogert that explores the similarities and differences between the places students call home around the world.
Boogert believes that all students worldwide share the same goals: to move forward and establish a career. Their housing — be it a room, an apartment or a hut — is as universal as those goals, and the Images Connect project aims to highlight that universality.
Boogert visited 10 countries to capture all of his images: Kenya, Russia, Moldova, Cuba, Bolivia, the Philippines, India, Hong Kong, Italy and his home country of the Netherlands. And even though he chose such a diverse selection of countries, he found much the same thing everywhere he went.
"A bed, a small seating area, some posters on the wall and clutter on the ground," a representation of those goals and, in some cases, the sacrifices required to reach them:

Asian currencies rose for a third day, led by gains in India's rupee and South Korea's won, after manufacturing growth in the U.S and China beat forecasts, buoying demand for the region's assets.
The Bloomberg-JPMorgan Asia Dollar Index reached a three- week high after the U.S. Institute for Supply Management index of factory output climbed to 53.4 last month from 52.4 in February, more than the median estimate of 53 in a Bloomberg News survey. A Chinese purchasing managers' index touched a one- year high, data showed April 1. Reports this week may show inflation accelerated last month in Taiwan and the Philippines.
"The U.S. and China data are supportive of risk-on sentiment in markets," said Roy Teo, a currency strategist at ABN Amro Private Bank in Singapore. "Inflation remains elevated in the short term and we think it's prudent for Asia to maintain some currency strength."
The won strengthened 0.5 percent to a two-week high of 1,121.85 per dollar at the close in Seoul, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The rupee appreciated 0.5 percent to 50.62 as of 2:47 p.m. in Mumbai, Malaysia's ringgit gained 0.3 percent to 3.0472 and Taiwan's dollar advanced 0.1 percent to NT$29.48.
The Asia Dollar Index (ADXY), which tracks the region's 10 most- used currencies excluding the yen, reached 117.25, the highest level since March 12. Its 60-day historical volatility fell to 3.34 percent from 3.36 percent. The MSCI Asia-Pacific Index (MXAP) of shares advanced for a third day.
Investment in Malaysia
China's non-manufacturing index rose to 58 last month, the highest level since May, the Beijing-based National Bureau of Statistics and Federation of Logistics and Purchasing said today. The world's second-largest economy may have grown 8.4 percent last quarter, according to National Development and Reform Commission Vice Chairman Zhang Xiaoqiang.
South Korea's currency strengthened for a third day, its longest winning streak in a month.
"The won is gaining as data showing the economy is recovering in the U.S. supports stocks," said Hong Seok Chan, a Seoul-based currency analyst at Daeshin Economy Research Institute.
The ringgit climbed to a three-week high. Private investment in Malaysia by companies including Carrefour SA and General Electric Co. grew 13 percent to 94 billion ringgit ($31 billion) in 2011, Prime Minister Najib Razak said in a televised address yesterday.
Indonesia's rupiah was little changed at 9,123 per dollar after falling as much as 0.4 percent amid concern faster inflation will erode demand at an auction of 6 trillion rupiah ($657 million) of government bonds today.
Consumer prices in Southeast Asia's biggest economy rose 3.97 percent in March from a year earlier, compared with 3.56 percent in February, the statistics bureau said in Jakarta yesterday. Bank Indonesia will continue to monitor and intervene in the currency market to stabilize the rupiah, according to a statement posted on its website on March 8.
Elsewhere, the Philippine peso was little changed at 42.692 per dollar and the Thai baht climbed 0.1 percent 30.81. China's yuan rose 0.06 percent to 6.3073 in Hong Kong, with onshore financial markets closed for a public holiday.

Fuqua to Offer One Year Master's in Business Program
Posted by: Alison Damast on March 26, 2009
Prospective students hesitant about shelling out $100,000 or more for a two-year MBA may be intrigued by a new program announced this week by Duke University's Fuqua School of Business. The new nine-month master's program is aimed at people with little or no professional business experience and will prepare them for entry-level jobs in business, according to a press release from the school.
Over the course of four six-week terms, the students will take classes in finance, accounting marketing, strategy, operations, decision analysis and management. They can also take "boot camp" courses in statistics and computer skills. At the end, students will be prepared for entry-level jobs in the business world, the school says. The program, called the "Foundations of Business Degree" will start this August and students can start registering online in the next week or so on the Fuqua Web site.
Call me crazy, but this sounds like a crash-course MBA to me. And at a good value: the price of the Duke program is $38,000, significantly less than most MBA programs. A program like this may just be the antidote to the job-searching blues that many undergraduates are now experiencing.
Recent graduates, do you think enrolling in a program like this would make you more competitive in today's job market?

Riding Norfolk Southern to Value
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Before analyzing a company for investment, it's important to have a perspective on how well the business has performed. At at the end of the day, if you are an investor, you are buying the business.
The FAST Graphs presented with this article will focus first on the business behind the stock. The orange line on the graph plots earnings per share since 2001. A quick glance vividly reveals the historical operating record of the company.
Norfolk Southern (NSC) is one of the nation's premier transportation companies.
This article will reveal the business prospects of Norfolk Southern through the lens of FAST Graphs' fundamentals analyzer software tool. Therefore, it is offered as the first step before a more comprehensive research effort. Our objective is to provide companies that have excellent historical records and appear reasonably priced based on past, present and future data and expectations.A quick glance at the graph itself and the orange earnings justified valuation line will tell the readers volumes about how well the company has historically been managed and performed as an operating business.
Simply put, the reader should ask whether this example is worthy of a greater investment of their time and effort based on the data as presented and organized. The FAST Graphs' unique advantage is the graphical articulation of the price value proposition. Earnings determine market price: The following earnings and price correlated FAST Graphs clearly illustrates the importance of earnings. The Earnings Growth Rate Line or True Worth Line (orange line with white triangles) is correlated with the historical stock price line. On graph after graph the lines will move in tandem. If the stock price strays away from the earnings line (over or under), inevitably it will come back to earnings. Earnings and Price Correlated Fundamentals at a Glance A quick glance at the historical earnings and price correlated FAST Graphs on Norfolk Southern shows a picture of undervaluation based upon the historical earnings growth rate of 19.7% and a current P/E of 13.7. Analysts are forecasting the earnings growth to continue at about 11%, and when you look at the forecasting graph below, the stock appears overvalued (it's inside of the value corridor of the five orange lines, based on future growth).

Internap Network Services' CEO Discusses Q4 2011 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Because these statements are not guarantees of future performance and involves risks and uncertainties, important factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. We discuss these factors in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We undertake no obligation to amend, update or clarify these statements.
In addition to reviewing the fourth quarter and full year 2011 results, we will also discuss recent developments.
Now let me turn the call over to Eric Cooney.
J. Eric CooneyThanks, Drew, and good afternoon, everyone. We are very pleased to be here this afternoon to present our fourth quarter and full year 2011 financial results. I'll start the discussion with the summary of our results before George takes you through our financial results in detail. From there, I'll briefly wrap up our prepared remarks, and then we'll take your questions. Beginning on Slide 3, you will see we delivered total revenue for the quarter of $62.8 million, representing our third consecutive quarter of sequential revenue growth and an improvement of 5% over fourth quarter 2010. Solid growth in the data center services business, including the company-controlled colocation and managed hosting product lines, underpins the fourth quarter results. The successful strategic shift to company-controlled collocation and increasing emphasis on our cloud/hosting business also continues to have a positive impact on the company's operating leverage. Segment profit and segment margin reached record levels for the second consecutive quarter. In fact, both measures in the fourth quarter and all of 2011 were the highest they've been since Internap's founding in 1996. An increasing proportion of our data center services revenue is generated within our own facilities, which has helped drive both margin gains and absolute profit increases. In the fourth quarter, segment profit was $32.9 million, an increase of 12% year-over-year and 5% quarter-over-quarter. Segment margin was 52.4%, an increase of more than 330 basis points compared with the prior year period and 200 basis points sequentially.

Publish What You Fund index calls
GAVI one of best improvers in publishing information on how money is spent in
developing countries
Geneva, 3 October 2012 - The GAVI Alliance welcomes the 2012 aid transparency index that acknowledges the global health partnership for its increasing dedication to aid transparency. The index gives GAVI high marks for the "publication of high quality, current activity data" and calls on the organisation "to continue to lead on aid transparency".
The index – produced annually by Publish What You Fund – ranks 72 aid organisations across the world, from country donors to private foundations. At the index launch in Washington on 1 October 2012, Dr David Hall-Matthews, Managing Director of Publish what you Fund recognised GAVI as one of the best improvers in publishing information which allows people in the developing world see how money is spent in their countries.
...communicating effectively on what is being spent where, by whom, and with what results is the basic foundation of the GAVI model
Dr Seth Berkley, GAVI CEO
Dr Seth Berkley, Chief Executive Officer at the GAVI Alliance states that "Accountability for results in country is the highest order of what we do; therefore communicating effectively on what is being spent where, by whom, and with what results is the basic foundation of the GAVI model."
The report follows GAVI's efforts to make more information about its work publicly available in recent years. While being lauded for its progress, GAVI recognizes that a lot remains to be done to improve the public accessibility of its information in order to facilitate effective development cooperation.
GAVI was a founding signatory to the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) in 2008, and uses this global standard for publishing aid information to make information about aid spending easier to find, use and compare.
