When This Company Finally Goes Public, It Will Blow the Facebook IPO Away
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- I am on record as a Facebook (FB) bull. At this point, I still only own my token lot of three shares, but the time will come to buy more.
Even though I see FB becoming
one of the market's next $100 stocks, I am more excited by the near certainty that
Twitter will go public at some point. Everything Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook have done well, Dick Costolo and Twitter have done better.
For most intents and purposes, Zuck and Costolo speak the same language. They're entrepreneurs who put the user experience first, everything else second. But, for one reason or another, Costolo appears to do a better job of walking the walk, at least with regard to timing the move to go public.
Few of us are inside baseball enough to know the reasons why, but Facebook probably IPO'd a shade or three too soon.Cynics and haters will claim it had to pull the trigger because the business is about to implode. I doubt it. Others will point to Zuck's relative inexperience. I can see this. Plus Zuckerberg founded Facebook, while Costolo did not pioneer Twitter. He's been there before (not at Twitter, but "there" as in being big time) in several previous lives; as such, he might feel less urgency to pop the cork and unleash the real wealth. Regardless of the reasons, it appears Costolo will not take Twitter public until the business is not only ripe, but strong, sustainable and, at least relative to Facebook, saddled with fewer near- and long-term question marks. While I expect Facebook to sort out its real issues -- as well as its media-generated and overhyped non-issues -- Twitter heads into that seminal moment in time much better positioned. Costolo deserves credit for this. Consider the "issue" (I think it will quickly be viewed in retrospect as a non-issue) of mobile monetization. Costolo shocked the world the other day when he said Twitter generated more revenue via mobile than through the desktop on "many days" in the last quarter. Costolo went on to explain that Twitter has "an ad platform that already is inherently suited to mobile." And it is. I am not sure what reasons Costolo would give for this, but, personally, it feels natural to see an ad come across my Twitter feed. It feels less so on my Facebook feed. I cannot necessarily put my finger on exactly why, but standard ads on Twitter do not look out of place.

Because there are no nocturnal creatures. Nothing that pays attention to time of day, or seasonal changes. Nothing that knows winter is coming or night time is almost over. Totally forgot that those animals don't exist.
#6 - willysbilly (01/09/2013) [-]
Birds heading south for the winter isn't an example of timekeeping? Several animals keep track of the seasons and bust their asses rushing to do something in time, i.e. bears, squirrels and other hibernating mammals that work hard to stuff themselves before the cold. Just because they don't have physical clocks doesn't mean they aren't governed by time constraints.

My review of Hotel ibis budget Valence centre:
- Sep 2011
- 1 to 3 days
- Other
- Hotel recommended
Sparsely equipped rooms, there is no closet, just hanging next to the bed. The hotel is close to the highway, which runs through the town, double-glazed windows and air conditioning, so you can keep the window closed to sleep. Breakfast cost extra, you can save. Nearby there are Backshops with delicious pastries and good coffee, as well as restaurants in abundance. Car park right next to the hotel, lit, secure and complete. So you have to remove the car, should have been also not fit in the room. Bathroom has a bathtub. Ideal for a stopover … read hotel review

I'm not sure about that - in *valid* HTML, in principle, a fragment could refer to a "portion" of the data; in real life a fragment seems effectively an arrow pointing at a location within the document... I've never seen a user agent that would process foo.html#bar by selecting out the element that had name="bar" or id="bar", only by maneuvering to where that element starts.

Review - El Virrey Hotel
Very good!Submitted by: Tim in 27/03/06
- Age Group: 18 - 25
- From: Canada
- Traveller type: Budget Traveller
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean. Rates, reasonable. The location is ideal, walking distance to downtown, and a cheap cab ride to anywhere else in the city. The only problem was their complementary breakfasts were not all the great - could use an improvement there. The outdoor restaurant in the park across the street is excellent. I recommmend it.
I will stay at El Virrey next time I am in Cordoba!

Scanning on CM2320 - TWAIN drivers
My CM2320fxi wont scan to my W7 computer. It does scan to my iMac on the same SOHO network. HP cannot help - says they have no TWAIN drivers to suit. Any suggestions?
Re: Scanning on CM2320 - TWAIN drivers
There is a full CM2320 download on hp.com for Windows 7 32 and 64 bit operating systems. This solution supports scanning in WIndows 7. It also supports the scan to button from initiating scans from the device.

Same issue here. I installed the software correctly on my Windows 7 system a couple of months ago. I recently had to reinstall the whole system from scratch, but now, I can't scan anymore. Using the latest install program for Windows 7 from the HP support site: CM2320series-win7-full-solution-AM-EMEA1-v3.
When I try to scan, I get a message that there is no compatible TWAIN driver....
Tried to unistall - reinstall several times, to no avail. And, now, the drivers and software won't unistall anymore!!! Tried several times to uninstall (with a system reboot at each time) but everything stays in place... HELP!

OK, I managed at the end to unistall and reinstall de sowftware and drivers.... A painstaking experience...
But still no scanning. Both the HP scanning utility anf IRISPro complain about no compatible TWAIN driver found... As said, before I reinstalled my system, it did work work correctly. Could it be due to SP1 of Windows 7, which has been installed in the meantime?
BTW, is anybody from HP monitoring these forums?

Labor is a significant portion of a tile project. Employing qualified tile installation crews is the name of the game in 2014. As the economy improves, the stress of having enough qualified tile professionals is weighing on firms not prepared for the shift.
This week our managers met to decide how to prepare for the shortage and what we can do to hire and train new people. Our intention is to push up from the bottom. We will hire new helpers to provide a strong back and eager mind. They will learn the trade using our apprentice class and hands-on work. This process requires an entire shift of the company. The current tile setters need training to be able to manage projects on their own and to make sure the new employees are doing the job needed for the apprentice setters. This also requires more supervision and additional staff to manage the handoff of the project.
So how do you do this? Many of our projects are smaller and require less help – such as residential and small commercial jobs. Our answer to those is to pair a 2-3 year improver with a setter on the small jobs to help push the project and get to the next project sooner. This will give the improver needed training and the setter the leadership skills needed to manage people. Larger projects may be able to use more new helpers, but how do you manage spending time with them when it takes so much time away from the setting task? This is tricky and requires good leadership skills. The supervisor needs to divide the crew up into teams. Each team will have a setter as a leader to provide the management of the new helper.
Some of the pitfalls to this arrangement are communication breakdowns, jobsite failures, added cost of redoing work, additional labor on the job than budgeted, more site visits, and a higher cost of doing business. How can you offset this cost and keep a quality job during this training time? My suggestion is to hire quality people first. If you hire wrong, change them out right away! The cost of training new people is too great to waste on someone that's not going to work out.
Second, take time to decide who has the skills needed for the market section that you want your employee to learn. For example, terrazzo requires a different skill set than residential tile remodel.
Third, communicate and don't get frustrated. These people need time to learn. Education costs money but before you know it, you have a crew ready for the next challenge.
Embrace this change. Remember, just a few short months ago we were all wondering what we were going to do with our people and how we were going to survive. This trial is much less challenging and much more exciting too.

Horse advocates wants fines on NM slaughterhouse
LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — A Colorado-based horse advocacy group says a New Mexico company seeking to become the nation's first slaughterhouse for horses since 2007 should face fines for violating laws on waste disposal.
The Albuquerque Journal reports (http://bit.ly/J9Fxis) that the state Environment Department received a letter this week from Front Range Equine Rescue calling for fines against Valley Meat Co. The Roswell-area slaughterhouse has hauled 400 tons of composted cattle parts from its property, after two years of prodding by the state Environment Department.
But Front Range Equine Rescue said the company should still be fined for past offenses highlighted by a USDA inspector in January 2010.
Fines can reach $5,000 daily per violation, so Valley Meat could be subject to millions in fines. Login to read more

Oct. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Bank of Communications Co., China's fifth-largest lender by market value, posted a 31 percent gain in third-quarter profit as lending and fee income rose.
Net income increased to 12 billion yuan ($1.9 billion) from 9.18 billion yuan a year earlier, the Shanghai-based bank said in a statement to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange today. Profit was in line with the 11.9 billion-yuan median estimate of eight analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News.
BoCom follows larger rivals Agricultural Bank of China Ltd. and Bank of China Ltd. in reporting higher profit and narrower bad-debt ratios. Net interest income, or revenue from lending minus payments to depositors, grew 23 percent to 26.6 billion yuan while fee income rose 41 percent to 5 billion yuan.
Shares of BoCom gained 5.9 percent to close at HK$5.37 before today's earnings announcement. The stock has shed 25 percent this year on concern that a slowdown in economic growth may lead to defaults on debts by developers, small companies and local governments.

A new wreck on southbound 94 at 57th Avenue is adding to the congestion in Brooklyn Center. We've seen a couple crashes in the area of 694 and Hwy. 252.
Eastbound 694 drivers will run into a traffic jam beginning at Zane Avenue. Westbound is heavy from Silver Lake Road to Hwy. 252.
Things are still tough in Lakeville due to a wreck on northbound 35 at Crystal Lake Road. It's jammed from County Road 46 to the crash scene. Things loosen up from the Minnesota River all the way to the Crosstown.
The Crosstown is quite slow on the westbound side from 28th Avenue to 35W. It's also heavy eastbound from Hwy. 100 to 35W.
Looks like just enough fog and perhaps mist is affecting traffic on southbound 169 from Hwy. 7 to the Crosstown in Edina.

Watco Transportation, which bills itself as the leading private U.S. operator of small railroads, is launching another one in Idaho under a lease-purchase deal to get two branch lines totaling 36 miles.
Watco, of Pittsburg, Kan., said the new short line will operate as Boise Valley Railroad and be headquartered in Boise, subject to plan approval by the Surface Transportation Board.
Its route will cover 84 customers on two branch lines of 11 miles between the towns of Wilder and Caldwell, and 25 miles from Nampa nearly to Boise.
Those lines are now leased from Union Pacific Railroad by another short line firm, Idaho Northern & Pacific Railroad. Watco and Idaho Northern have reached a definitive agreement for a Watco lease-purchase. They plan for Boise Valley to have a mid-October launch.
Watco said this will be its fourth railroad in Idaho. And some of Boise Valley's customers are currently served by other Watco lines -- Eastern Idaho Railroad, Great Northwest Railroad and Yellowstone Valley Railroad.
"This fits in well with our existing infrastructure in Idaho," said Ed McKechnie, Watco chief commercial officer.
The commodities shipped on the branches that would form the new railroad's route include potatoes, lumber, fertilizer and fuels.
Watco has 21 short lines around the nation with more than 3,500 miles of track, plus 21 industrial contract switching locations, 14 railcar repair shops, 4 locomotive shops and 19 mobile mechanical shops. It has a transload and intermodal division with 13 locations and seven warehouses. The company also operates Greens Port Industrial Park on the Houston ship channel.

Baby found dead inside parked car
Dolgeville, N.Y. (AP) -- State police are investigating the death of a 15-month-old girl left inside a vehicle for about seven hours while it was parked at her grandfather's central New York home.
Troopers in Herkimer County say they received a call around 2:30 p.m. Wednesday reporting an unresponsive infant in a vehicle parked in a driveway in the village of Dolgeville.
That's in the Mohawk Valley, about 60 miles west of Albany.
Police say the baby's father had dropped off two other children at school around 8 a.m. and brought a third child to a relative's house before driving to the baby's grandfather's house.
Police say the father appears to have left the infant in the vehicle after leaving for work in a different vehicle.
High temperatures Wednesday were in the low 70s.

Tricia- I think I will go get a test or 2 or 3! I'm just so scared of a BFN. Keeping my FX for you. I'll be stalking Thursday morning!

I agree, you should test tomorrow with Monica because I, er you just won't be able to stand the suspense! I'm a rooting for you both.
|Wed, 08-29-2012 - 8:50am
Darn thermometer took the suspense away for me. Temp drop to coverline- didn't bother with a test. It's okay though- thinking of a strategy for next cycle. Girls, all the pressure is on you now- Monica, Tricia- hoping for those BFP's!
|Wed, 08-29-2012 - 9:45am
thanks, vickie.
(((hugs))) to you too. sorry i didn't say it earlier, been having a bad morning.
can't wait to hear about your plan for next month!!
|Wed, 08-29-2012 - 10:38am
Bad morning here too. I am fighting the urge to throw a huge pity party for myself.
I don't have a great plan of action for next month but as I know the end of the year is getting closer I really think I want to go back into TTC full throttle using vitamins, charting, pre-seed, OPK's and anything else I can add in there. I really feel that I want to go down fighting, not just idling through the last few months hoping.
Will you be doing IUI again? Wishing you all the best for the upcoming cycle.
Too bad we can't all get together once a month- we could have a great big pity party and may even be able to laugh and have some fun!
|Wed, 08-29-2012 - 2:02pm
Hi ladies:
Thanks for the kind words and hugs.
Vicki/Monica - sorry for the so, so disappointing news. Definitely go into the next cycle with a plan. Change can only help.
Monica - are you sure it is over? Are you temping? No AF or temp drop means still a chance right?
Vicki - i would absolutely pull out all the stops and go no holds barred into these last few months. that way you know you have given it your all and no regrets or what ifs down the road.
AFM - I am on CD2. We are completely au naturale now. DH has been so supportive, checking in on me to see if I am OK during the day. Cuddling and talking at night. He can be a sweetie (catch me in a coupla months and I might not be singing his praises - LOL)
I don't know if we will try this month since DH has a medical issue to pursue. Gives me a chance to focus on strengthening my fertility and self. I am doing a fertility cleanse this month and then planning to add some new supplements to my repertoire (sp) such as maca root (in addition to the royal jelly, CoQ10, red rasberry leaf tea and Vitamin B complex). I am also joining my company gym. Soon I will be a sexy hot, fertile mama....of two!
|Wed, 08-29-2012 - 2:56pm
I like that positive outlook! Glad to hear hubby is being a comfort. Hoping he gets his medical issue resolved soon Can I ask how much of each herb and vitamin you take per day? I'm not sure which ones I will go back to other than my prenatals but I know I'm going to try everything I can.

Aglaia Kremezi
To try Aglaia's tomato recipes, click here for her tomato relish, here for her tomato salad bread, and here for her stuffed tomatoes with fennel.
"Tomato is the best cook," my grandmother used to say. She meant that by simply adding it to any food, tomato had the power to make a simple dish extraordinary. Her belief was shared by many enthusiastic cooks, who at the end of the 19th century adopted the New World vegetable/fruit and made it an essential ingredient of Greek cuisine.
In my previous post about moussaka, I mentioned the early use of tomato in the beginning of the 1900s, and a reader expressed disbelief in his comment: "what about the fact that tomatoes didn't exist in Greece until around the 1600's? How far back is enough for a food culture?" I think he meant what happened between 1600, when Columbus brought tomatoes to Europe, and the end of the 19th century—or more accurately the beginning of the 20th, when the use of tomatoes finally spread all over Greece.
Here I will try to answer his question.
My grandmother had probably heard stories from her elders about the much admired
rare plant that produced "golden apples," as tomatoes were called then.
Peasant ingredient-based cuisines, like Greek cuisine and most cuisines of the southern Mediterranean, stubbornly stick to regional traditions and change very slowly. Home cooks make the most of their seasonal and local products, and they are reluctant to adopt new ingredients and ideas. I understand that it is difficult to believe that tomatoes only started to become part of the Greek table in the late 19th century. Greeks and foreigners alike wonder how one could cook the summer ladera, the ubiquitous vegetable stews—made with green beans, okra, eggplants, or zucchini—without tomatoes. In all these dishes the slightly acidic tomatoes perfectly balance the fruity and assertive Greek olive oil. It is a marriage of flavors that today we take for granted. The late adoption also partly explains why some Greek cooks tend to over-use tomatoes, often covering all other flavors with a thick, oily red sauce.
A brief history
My paternal grandmother, born around 1875, had probably heard stories from her elders about the much admired rare plant that produced "golden apples" (chryssomila), as tomatoes were called then—translating the Italian word pomodoro. Tomato plants were introduced to mainland Greece in 1815. That year, the story goes, Paul d'Yvrai, the French father superior of the Capuchins' monastery in Plaka—the old picturesque Athenian neighborhood under the Acropolis—brought some tomato seeds, together with other bulbs and seeds, to decorate the garden of the famous monastery with rare flowers. Incidentally, Lord Byron had stayed in this monastery a few years back, in 1812. The red fruits of the plant were much admired, according to the story, and the seeds were later planted to a French family's vegetable garden in Patissia—an Athenian suburb in those days. According to another version of the story, the tomato seeds were first cultivated in the garden of the French family, which had connections to Marseille. From there the tomatoes found their way to the Capuchin monks' garden. In neither of the stories is there mention of the fruits being used in the kitchen.
Bear in mind that these were difficult years for Greece. The country was still under Ottoman rule until 1821, when the war of independence started. Clearly people had other priorities. In 1833 Prince Otto of Bavaria came to Greece as the first king of the newly created state, after the war and the political unrest that followed. The tiny Greek state ended about 200 kilometers north of Athens, and included only the islands of the Cyclades.
Aglaia Kremezi
Friedrich Wilchelm Thiersch, a Bavarian scholar who visited the country in those days, published in 1833 a detailed account "About the Greek situation." In it, he describes the vast difference between the people who lived in the villages of the mainland, "where families slept on the dirt floor of their homes, by the fire," and the way of life in the homes of the merchant navy marines, in some Cycladic islands. "The (island) homes had lovely Venetian furniture, although slightly outmoded in style, but a complete copy of our own," Thiersch writes. That explains why the first Greek-language cookbook—a translation from an Italian one—was published in 1827 not in Athens but on the cosmopolitan island of Syros.

Also sec-ed SecEd | Features | A short-sighted approach?
They're both good sources, but you need another source too - ie. a non-register source, and it can't be blogs either (unless that blog itself is notable and from a famous person who would justify their own wiki article). Or at least those were the rules last time I looked there.
EDIT: The Tes article, plus the register articles should provide enough evidence of notability for an article.
EDIT2: I've messaged the admin who deleted the article pointing out that he didn't give the user time to create the article, with sources.
Last edited by localzuk; 19th February 2011 at 03:04 PM.
Neither of them would be acceptable - as neither of those sites are themselves notable (one being a blog for an non-notable person, the other being a generic blog).
There are various mentions in the Guardian. They're a bit brief. Do they count?
Q&A | Resource | The Guardian
News in brief | Education | The Guardian
Don't miss out - Freebies at Bett 2010 | Resource | guardian.co.uk
I've posted these on the deleting admin's page - so that's 9 different independant and non-blog sources for the site. Hopefully they'll restore it!
FN-GM (19th February 2011)
We have also had a couple of mentions on the notable Microsoft UK Schools blog - Search - MSDN Blogs
Right, he's now restored it. Get editing peeps!
I've added a few bits - but they need a lot of work, and more needs to be added too.
Please can an admin e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com to give permission to use the logo. If not it will be removed by the 23rd Feb.
Before we all go charging in can I point out the points raised a few posts ago, LittleMiss has been working on this behind the scenes with Dos_Box and has been since BETT, and this is quite a detailed draft of the article and I know Dos_box has sent her some more updates for it, its a good detailed draft and covers many key points and integrates sources etc... so no need to be rushing ahead here. More haste less speed otherwise it'll end up being rejected again

Al from Richmond, VA
Works, looks nice, I have not used it long enough to say more.
|December 16, 2011
|Worked great!
Review by
IndyTim from Carmel, IN
Purchased this kit for an install of a Sony media player. It worked great and the colors match my Infiniti G35 perfectly. Note that there is a difference from the factory controls, as these are soft touch controls where the factory ones are hard buttons. Other than that, everything works as advertised. BTW, this was considerably less expensive than purchasing it through Frys, and they were more than happy to tell me what I needed so I could purchase it myself online before bringing it in to them for the installation.
|October 7, 2011
Review by
EDDY from Albuquerque, NM
I strongly recommend this item for your g35 if you have problems with ur stereo or climate control this is what u need to buy. Screw going to the dealership they will wax you alot of money. Shipment came on time like they said and didnt have any problems. I strongly will do business again with Sonic Electronix. Very very happy with this item.
|March 3, 2010
|Good product
Review by
Kirk from Calgary, AB, Canada
I am very happy with the Metra Kit. I was able to save the money I would have spent on a circuit board and get a great double din Nav system for the same price! Installation was very easy, there are a few step by step instructions on the Infiniti forum sites that were very helpful. Sonic was great to deal with and shipping to Canada was painless. The only con is the buttons are not as nice as the stock buttons but I would still recommend over replacing the stock setup.
|January 30, 2010

Review by
Hoang from falls church, VA
This was the best thing that I did for my car... Instead of spending $700.00 for the circuit board, I only spent $185.00 and have a double din for my dvd player. Excellent seller. Thank you Sonic

I purchase this product some time back and would totally recommend it 4 your vehicle. The tan shade is a tiny bit off but can't tell unless u were staring. I love it and was a perfect fit 4 my g35 and the double din I had install. Last but not least, the price was better than other online stores, even ebay.

I first heard of Jean Hersholt as Dr. Christian on the radio (with his nurse Rosemary) in the 1940's. His voice was so calming and I'm surprised it limited his movie roles after talking pictures.

A total of fifty-six isolates of Campylobacter jejuni obtained from raw vegetables which are consumed as ulam (salad) in Malaysia, were tested with 12 antibiotics used clinically and agriculturally. The resistance was determined using the disk diffusion method. Results were determined by hierarchic numerical methods to cluster strains and antibiotics according to similarity profiles. Fifty five C. jejuni isolates from different isolation sites were all clustered together into ten groups. This indicates that the commodities (raw salad vegetables/ulam) where the isolates originated might share a similar source of cross-contamination along the production route. All antibiotics tested correlated and there were four groupings reflecting their mode of actions. Generally, C. jejuni isolates were found to be highly resistant to erythromycin (91.1%) and tetracycline (85.7%). Both agents are popular antibiotics used clinically to treat bacterial infections. On the other hand, the C. jejuni isolates showed high percentage (80.4%) of resistance towards enrofloxacin, an extensively used antimicrobial agent in agriculture practices. This study showed that C. jejuni isolates were highly multi-resistance to as many as 10 antibiotics. Therefore, in terms of biosafety, the presence of antibiotic resistance strains in the food chain has raised concerns that the treatment of human infections will be compromised.

Tag: Last Child in the Woods
Nearsightedness and Nature-Deficit Disorder
Why are 80% of kids in Singapore nearsighted? Perhaps it's a nature-deficit disorder.
Singapore has one of the highest rates of nearsightedness or myopia in the world, and parts of China and Taiwan are not far behind.
Most people assume it's just genetics.
And there's certainly a lot of evidence suggesting a genetic link. In Australia, for example, if both parents have myopia, a child is eight times as likely to have it as well, and if both parents have severe myopia (at least -6 diopter), a child is 22 times as likely (Ip et al. 2007).
People of Chinese origins are particularly prone to myopia (Pan et al. 2012).
But here's the Singapore twist. The city-state is a melting pot of Chinese, Indian and Malay ethnicities. Yet Singapore has a far higher myopia prevalence rate than India or Malaysia and a slightly higher rate than China.
Genetics almost certainly plays a role in myopia, but families generally share not only genes but also environments.
While our genetic DNA in "pen" and cannot be changed, some of our genes are written in "pencil" and can be rewritten by environmental factors.
Worldwide, there's an urban-rural divide in myopia rates. In Nepal, for example, urban children age 15 have a 27% prevalence rate while it is less than 3% for rural children the same age (Pan et al. 2012).
So what's different for many urban kids?

China Precision Steel Announces Reverse Stock Split To Maintain NASDAQ Bid Price Compliance
SHANGHAI, Aug. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- China Precision Steel Inc. (Nasdaq: CPSL), a niche precision steel processing company principally engaged in producing and selling high precision cold-rolled steel products, announced today that it effected a reverse split of its common stock at a ratio of 1 share of common stock for every 12 shares. The reverse stock split became effective just prior to market open on Tuesday, August 28, 2012. China Precision Steel's common stock will continue to be traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol "CPSL". CPSL's Board of Directors were authorized by CPSL stockholders to effect the reverse split at the annual meeting of stockholders held on June 29, 2012.
As a result of the reverse split, every twelve shares of China Precision Steel's issued and outstanding common stock was converted automatically into one issued and outstanding share of its common stock without any change in the par value per share or any need to surrender stock certificates. The reverse split will reduce the number of outstanding shares of China Precision Steel's common stock from approximately 46.6 million shares to approximately 3.9 million shares. Proportional adjustments will be made to the number of shares of China Precision Steel's common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of China Precision Steel's outstanding equity awards, as well as the applicable exercise price.
Mr. Hai Sheng Chen, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are effecting this reverse stock split to raise China Precision Steel's common stock price in order to regain compliance with the NASDAQ Capital Market's minimum bid price requirement for continued listing. With our bid price compliance addressed we plan to focus our attention on continuing to produce precision steel products for our customers while taking measures to try to improve our operating efficiencies, despite the difficult macro-economic environment."

Mallard Rd.
Submitted by Dean Godwin (not verified) on Mon, 07/09/2012 - 12:18pm.
The residents of Andover road are in the same situation.We have asked the city for many years to do the same.Now that Hooker and Mallard are going to add new devices to slow traffic it is going to cause more traffic down Andover.Good engineering,right just to make more traffic down our road
We have many people that like to walk in our neighborhood,many with small children.I myself had 2 cars accidents come through my front yard from excessive speed.One of these accidents resulted in a fatality.
Wilmington Police do all they can to assist in slowing traffic.But they cannot always be there.When we do complain to the city they tell us we are on the list getting safety devices on our road but they always give out of money before they get to us.
It is going to be a shame for one of these families walking get hit by a car. Because the city will not do what they say they will do.

Although HubOne started as an entrepreneurial business making enterprise software, a call for help from a local company encouraged HubOne to transform its business by promoting Microsoft Online Services. To demonstrate to customers the benefits of cloud services, HubOne first needed to retool its own infrastructure and create a cloud-based web portal. By using the Windows Azure platform and Microsoft Visual Studio, HubOne built a public website, customer portal, partner portal, and e-commerce ordering solution. HubOne closed its physical office in 2010, and the team now collaborates by using cloud-based tools and Microsoft Office 365. The company and its customers benefit from a high-quality development paradigm, the tightened security model of Microsoft SQL Azure, and greatly reduced capital and operating expenditures. Today, HubOne is one of the major cloud services providers in Australia.
The pet products company had no internal IT support and had cost concerns. Instead of addressing the issue with Exchange Server, Beaugeard recommended that the company consider an alternative to managing on-site infrastructure. He introduced the company to the Microsoft Business Productivity Online Standard Suite from Microsoft Online Services, a set of messaging and collaboration tools delivered as a subscription service that does not require customers to deploy and maintain software and hardware on-premises. The suite includes Microsoft Exchange Online for email and calendaring; Microsoft SharePoint Online for portals and document sharing; Microsoft Office Communications Online for presence availability, instant messaging, and peer-to-peer audio calls; and Office Live Meeting for web and video conferencing.
"It was our first customer," says Beaugeard, "and it was a massive success." The pet products company had been paying U.S.$50,000 annually for IT support and it reduced its IT expenses to less than $5,000. It also experiences less downtime and greater productivity. HubOne decided to support its software development business by providing cloud services. On July 1, 2010, the company switched its business model and rebranded itself as a professional consulting service organization for customers who want to take advantage of opportunities to conduct business in the cloud. HubOne offers a managed migration process from an on-premises or hosted solution to the cloud platform, and it provides 24-hour support services.
Within four months of its first cloud services sale, the company went from having no customers to having more than 200 customers who required ongoing management. To support its growing customer base, HubOne needed to build the proper infrastructure. Previously, it ran the Windows Server 2008 operating system, Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 data management software, Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007, Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010, and a large file server. However, HubOne decided to use cloud services to run its own business and would offer only products and services that would provide the highest quality and the greatest reliability. The company also determined that its 15 employees no longer needed an office; they could communicate by using online productivity tools and hold meetings at local pubs.
By eliminating its network infrastructure and conducting affairs through the cloud, HubOne could demonstrate to customers how a company could run a business by using online services exclusively. "Before we could present cloud services to our customers, we needed to use the tools ourselves," says Beaugeard. "If the cloud works for HubOne, I can say to a customer, 'This is how my company works and it's really cool.' That's a really good selling point."
To manage its rapidly expanding customer base with automated professional services, HubOne deployed Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Online over the course of one weekend—a feat that Beaugeard describes as "the world's fastest implementation of Microsoft Dynamics CRM." HubOne also developed its CRM Customer Portal, an add-in to the Microsoft Dynamics CRM software, which customers can use to view the status of service issues. The company then ported the add-in software to the Windows Azure platform. "Windows Azure enables developers to stage and test a solution before releasing it to production, which is brilliant," says Beaugeard. "Once it's in production, you don't have to change anything and you can't break it. Our production website has not gone down since the day we launched it."
HubOne has been able to quickly transition into a cloud services integrator because its developers can create applications and services on Windows Azure by using their existing expertise with the Microsoft .NET Framework, a platform for building applications. The company develops applications by using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate—a development system that supports popular standards and protocols including SOAP, REST, and XML—and Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010, which automates and streamlines the software delivery process. HubOne then moves its C# code to the Windows Azure platform.
The company also employs Microsoft SQL Azure, which provides database capabilities as a fully managed service without the need for on-premises hardware or software. HubOne uses SQL Azure to build web applications that are supported by a database that can scale horizontally on a pay-per-use basis. It also uses SQL Azure database capabilities to process large amounts of XML data from Microsoft Office 2010 compatibility tools. "We get the same performance with SQL Azure as with Microsoft SQL Server data management software—without running servers," says Beaugeard. "Plus, wherever I am in the world, I can interact with the SQL Azure database by using a USB drive filled with data."
Through Microsoft Online Services, HubOne implemented the beta version of Microsoft Office 365, the next-generation of cloud productivity applications including Microsoft Office, SharePoint Online, Exchange Online, and Lync Online—all backed by an enterprise-ready service level agreement. The company uses these tools, which are available through most browsers and on many smartphones, to collaborate and communicate internally. In September 2010, HubOne closed its offices and all employees began working remotely. "I see my team now more than I saw them before," says Beaugeard. "We use Lync, we schedule time with Office Live Meeting, and we hold ad-hoc meetings as well."
Because HubOne is a systems integration partner, Microsoft provided it with a partner account manager who helped the company navigate the landscape of cloud solutions and restructure its business plan. Microsoft also invested in the company with funding, software, training, and access to other partners. Additionally, HubOne manages portions of software-as-a-service implementations for Microsoft enterprise customers—making Microsoft one of its biggest customers.
"An amazing convergence of events occurred when Microsoft started producing cloud services at a price accessible to customers of all sizes," says Beaugeard. "We were able to rapidly refocus on cloud computing in advance of our competitors. Our one-year transition to cloud integrator wouldn't have happened without Microsoft."
HubOne now has more than 600 customers including a number of enterprise accounts. In October 2010, the Australian Financial Review (AFR.com) named the company as one of the country's top-10 rising business stars. Says Beaugeard, "We're aiming to be the leading cloud provider in the Asia Pacific region within three years."
High-Quality Development Model
HubOne has found that there is little difference between developing an application for Windows Azure and developing an application for the Windows operating system, giving the company an easy way to make its software available in the cloud. "The interoperability between various components of Windows Azure, Office 365, and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online is awesome," says Beaugeard. "We can easily create industry-standard web services and use them across client applications. This means high-quality code and a better environment for our developers."
Reduced Costs
Because Windows Azure cloud computing offers a pay-as-you-go model with low upfront investments, it shifts business costs from capital expenditures to reduced operating expenditures. For example, HubOne's first cloud services customer—the pet products company—now spends only $3,000 annually on IT maintenance such as backups, server and hardware support, and acquisitions. "Where we've implemented cloud services for customers, whether it be Windows Azure or Microsoft Online Services, we've found that they no longer need to be involved in the IT side of the business," says Beaugeard. "The Windows Azure platform is reliable and works like a treat. Customers are able to redeploy IT resources to higher value activities."
Windows Azure has helped HubOne change its business model and delivery paradigm, reducing management costs by more than $120,000 a year. By embracing cloud computing, the company also avoids significant infrastructure investments and only needs to purchase portable computers for its employees.
"It's still early in the cloud computing era, so people talk a lot about the cost of acquisition. There are upfront costs, but we don't have to buy servers and infrastructure," says Beaugeard. "People forget about the permanent IT cost reductions. At HubOne, we have removed 90 percent of the complexity of an IT environment and about 60 percent of the management costs, year after year. That's the massive economic shift in cloud computing and it's those ongoing economics are what really change the game."
Enhanced Security
Because HubOne uses SQL Azure to control which ports and servers can see the related database, the company can provide customers with tighter security than it could with a traditional on-premises web services model. Data is stored in the cloud and is neutral to the type of hardware device used to access it, plus data will not be lost if a hard disk fails, for example. "The Windows Azure platform is more secure by default," says Beaugeard. "As a development manager, I don't have to worry about whether it's secure. That's a huge boon to me and my customers."
Since its transition to cloud computing, HubOne no longer needs an IT team to manage its infrastructure and ensure the safety of its information. "In the Windows Azure cloud, several thousand employees make sure our IT environment is secure and reliable," says Beaugeard. "We have six Microsoft data centers worldwide and more than $5 billion has been invested in our IT environment."
Windows Azure Platform
The Windows Azure platform provides an excellent foundation for expanding online product and service offerings. The main components include:
Windows Azure. Windows Azure is the development, service hosting, and service management environment for the Windows Azure platform. Windows Azure provides developers with on-demand compute and storage to host, scale, and manage web applications on the Internet through Microsoft data centers.
Microsoft SQL Azure. Microsoft SQL Azure offers the first cloud-based relational and self-managed database service built on Microsoft SQL Server 2008 technologies.
Windows Azure platform AppFabric. With Windows Azure platform AppFabric, developers can build and manage applications more easily both on-premises and in the cloud.
—AppFabric Service Bus connects services and applications across network boundaries to help developers build distributed applications.
—AppFabric Access Control provides federated, claims-based access control for REST web services.
Microsoft "Dallas." Developers and information workers can use the new service code-named Dallas to easily discover, purchase, and manage premium data subscriptions in the Windows Azure platform.

Founded in 2008 and based on Australia's east coast, HubOne is one of the country's first and foremost system integrators for cloud services. It conducts its business almost entirely from the cloud.
In 2009, HubOne began offering professional cloud migration services exclusively. It needed to transform itself with a cloud-based infrastructure and development environment.
With support from Microsoft, HubOne created a cloud-based web portal and refocused its development paradigm to one that uses Windows Azure and Microsoft SQL Azure.
