IBM Divides to Conquer
There comes a time when size alone is not enough. IBM Global Services reached that point last year when IBM Chairman and CEO Sam Palmisano divided the unit, which is responsible for $47 billion of IBMs $91 billion in revenue, into three pieces.
The units and their leaders are: Enterprise Business Services, headed by Ginni Rometty; Integrated Operations, led by Bob Moffatt; and IT Services, under the hand of Mike Daniels. The three report to Palmisano.
"We are three people with different backgrounds and capabilities. A single person cant run a business of this magnitude. I dont know that individual," Moffatt said.
One analyst said the new structure makes sense.
"One thing is for sure: IGS had become too big to stay as one entity. Thats beyond debate. What can be debated is how to break it up. What Sam Palmisano did last spring is kind of creative," said IBM watcher Bob Djurdjevic, president of Annex Research, in Phoenix.
Another analyst voiced skepticism.
"These three pieces are each bigger than most companies. Each one is a complicated business to run and a difficult business to reap good profit on," said Linda Cohen, an analyst at Gartner, of Stamford, Conn.
"Aside from the fact that it may confuse the customer, it is a difficult way to manage the company internally."
Cohen added that a single leader from IGS may emerge. "Lets see which one rises to the top," she said.
Although the IGS structure appears well-suited to address the trend of customers to multisourceor select best-of-breed outsourcersRometty said the multisourcing trend may be as much an invention of consultants imaginations as it is a real-world phenomenon.
"If Im a client, how am I going to do my finance and accounting processes? Do I really want to distribute those among different people?" asked Rometty.
"For finance and accounting, would I like to work with the same person whos going to help me transform the processand put the applications in place to support the processwho may have some very interesting analytics, which we use IBM research a lot for?"
Following this thinking, from IBMs point of view, ideally the Enterprise Computing Systems unit would serve as a channel for the others.
Customers would start at the top with business transformation outsourcing then work down to application development and data center management.
Indeed, Moffatt said IGS executives, as one might expect, are given monetary incentives to bring other IBM units into deals.
Nonetheless, Moffatt and Rometty said they are willing to let the customer be the bossif a customer wishes to go a la carte, then so be it.
One analyst said she suspects few customers follow the pattern of business transformation first, then application development, followed by infrastructure management.
Read more here about IBMs arsenal.
"Customers ask if its not just McKinsey plopped on top of an outsourcing deal," said Julie Giera, an analyst at Forrester Research, of Cambridge, Mass.
"There are some deals like this, but customers are multisourcing on an increasingly frequent basis. Like General Motors, they want multiple suppliers all delivering pieces and parts. Customers want traditional outsourcing based on price."
Pointing out the difficulty of making consulting work with outsourcing, Giera noted that IGS rival Electronic Data Systems had acquired McKinsey-style consultancy AT Kearney, only to spin out the unit last year.
Until something like that happens at IBM, IGS is the industrys only source of business transformation, IT outsourcing and application development components, which can all work together in concertor not.

Australian Team Rider Justin "The Frotha" Holland gives his recap of the ISA World Stand Up Paddle Paddle and Paddleboard Championship in Peru
As Justin would say ... GET OUT THERE!!!
San Juan Capistrano, CA (Jan 26, 2012) - Hobie Designs is proud to announce the grand opening of the Hobie Sand Bar Restaurant inside John Wayne Airport's new South terminal wing.
Sporting an unofficial motto of "A nice place to run aground", The Hobie Sand Bar's menu and ambiance represents a beach lifestyle that Hobie Alter created over 60 years ago as a youth growing up in Laguna Beach. The restaurant features a full menu of coastal inspired fare that will transport the weary traveler out of the terminal and onto the beach.
Besides the amazing dining experience, every part of the Sand Bar transports the diner through a visual experience of Hobie Alter's life, from authentic pictures and memorabilia to the furnishings, each piece representing decades of innovation that created the "Have a Hobie Day" lifestyle that has been experienced worldwide.
The creation of the Hobie Sand Bar has been a tight knit collaboration between the restaurants operator, HMS Host, and the entire Hobie family who have been instrumental in creating the authentic Hobie Sand Bar vibe. Hobie's sons Hobie jr. and Jeff working with Mark Christy (Jeff's brother in law) in developing the initial concept and Laurie Alter (Jeff's wife and owner of Tuvalu Home in Laguna Beach) as head designer for the project, were all instrumental in the final project. Hobie Sr. is very proud of this project and the reflection it presents of his life and heritage.
Downwind of the Froth........
Australian Team Rider Justin "The Frotha" Holland doesn't skip a beat even if the weather gets crazy. 50K winds and a downwind run from Merimbula Point to Pambula River Mouth on the South Coast of Australia.
Australian Team Rider Justin Holland takes his CM Torque through its paces on the latest summer swell to hit New South Wales.
The trailer for the upcoming short documentary "Stand Up Guy", the amazing story of Shane Perrin's 340-mile paddle on a stand up paddleboard (SUP) down the Missouri River from Kansas City, KS to St. Charles, MO. Shane competed in the 6th annual Missouri River 340 (rivermiles.com) and became the first person to attempt as well as first to complete the race on an SUP. Shane paddled a 14' Elite BCX+C, provided by St. Louis Sail and Paddle, and completed the grueling race in 66hrs 39min, finishing 38th out of a field of 105
The 2011 Battle of the Paddle has come and gone with all of the hype and excitement of a major holiday. The evolution of the event has become a true litmus test demonstrating the growth of Stand Up Paddling as a sport and an industry. Team Hobie was its biggest ever with team paddlers from France, Italy, and Australia joining their US counter parts.
This year's Battle once again pushed the evolutionary boundaries with the introduction of qualifying heats for the Elite race. Each qualifying race contributed 50% to the main event, and it meant racers had to work a strategy that would advance them into the main event but still leave enough gas in the tank for the final . The Hobie team moved all but one of its Elite racers into the main event.
The main event held up to everything that it had in the past with blow ups, bust ups, and surprises. Team Hobie's Brand Baksic finished 2nd in a heavily contested women's race. Hobie's Jay Wild and Colin McPhillips finished in the top 20 on the men's side.
Day two started off a bit more reserved than the first day as paddlers carefully worked out the aches, pains and kinks from the day before. The distance race saw a huge field of 224 paddlers making the 10 mile grind, many of the same SUP Elite work horses returned, this time some had opted for longer unlimited or 14' boards and others kept the 12'6 grind alive. Brandi Baksic kept her podium run going placing 3rd with Mitch Kahn (14') and Byron Kurt (12'6) both finishing in the top 10 of their board classes.
The biggest surprise of day two by far was the kid's race. If there was ever a question as to the future of the sport of stand up paddling the kid's race made it known. With over 50 kids participating in either the short or long course events, it was amazing to note that this year saw many kids racing scaled down race boards, and the competition was fast and furious.
As with Battle's past, the Grand Finale was the Team Relay with 43 teams racing for the team title. Hobie was represented by 4 teams (3 men and 1 female). Hobie Team 1 (Jay Wild, Byron Kurt, Colin McPhillips, and Brandi Baksic) took 3rd with a super tight finish between Team Hobie and Team Naish. Hobie Team 2 (Mitch Kahn, Rob Pelkey, Justin Holland and Alison Riddle) finished 8th proving once again Hobie's depth putting 2 teams in the top 10.
With participation pushing into the thousands one has to wonder what will happen in 2012? Is two days enough?

I'll be staying in Oswego NY tomorrow night - Sunday and doing some Salmon fishing in Pulaski. As always, ran a search for breweries near the place and only thing that came up other than the Syracuse pubs (did a tour of all of those before) which are 30 miles south was this King Arthur's place.
Anyone been there? Thoughts on it?
I am sure I will check it out either way, but I am a little skeptical as their first 4-5 beers on the menu on the website are wheat beers and specifically many fruited wheats... they have ras and blueberry, they have apricot... they have pumpkin hefe which seems interesting, but not sure pumpkin blends well with banana and clove?! LOL
They do have an IPA and brown that sound good so I'm sure I'll find something...

Behind the buzz and beyond the hype:
Our Nanowerk-exclusive feature articles

The controversy over the use of nanoparticles in everyday cosmetics has been going on for a while now. At best, the evidence is inconclusive - it is too early to say whether there is a risk or not. Regulators have no specific research findings to act on. Cosmetic firms of course claim that their products are safe and comply with all the relevant laws and regulations. On the other hand, they fight tooth and nail to have to label their products containing synthetic nanoparticles. The cosmetic industry's stance is even more perplexing given the common sense approach that regulators are taking.Posted: Oct 30th, 2007
What do humans have in common with the pinky-sized tropical zebrafish that zip around in many hobbyists' home aquariums? Well, surprising as it may be, quite a lot actually. Zebrafish share the same set of genes as humans and have similar drug target sites for treating human diseases. For this reason, scientists, when turning to a model-organism to help answer genetic questions that cannot be easily addressed in humans, often chose the zebrafish (Danio rerio) - and save a few mice in the process. Zebrafish are small, easy to maintain, and well-suited for whole animal studies. Furthermore, its early embryonic development is completed rapidly within five days with well-characterized developmental stages. The embryos are transparent and develop outside of their mothers, permitting direct visual detection of pathological embryonic death, mal-development phenotypes, and study of real-time transport and effects of nanoparticles in vivo. Therefore, zebrafish embryos offer a unique opportunity to investigate the effects of nanoparticles upon intact cellular systems that communicate with each other to orchestrate the events of early embryonic development. In a new study, researchers explore the potential of nanoparticles as in vivo imaging and therapeutic agents and develop an effective and inexpensive in vivo zebrafish model system to screen biocompatibility and toxicity of nanomaterials. Such real-time studies of the transport and biocompatibility of single nanoparticles in the early development of embryos will provide new insights into molecular transport mechanisms and the structure of developing embryos at nanometer spatial resolution in vivo, as well as assessing the biocompatibility of single-nanoparticle probes in vivo.Posted: Oct 24th, 2007
In an earlier Spotlight we reported on NIOSH's Nanotechnology Research Center (NTRC) and its efforts concerning the occupational safety and health perspectives of engineered nanomaterials (Nanotechnology in the workplace). Today, we are looking at the specific steps undertaken by companies active in the field. "We were receiving a steady stream of questions from industry and academia regarding what we knew about the hazards of nanomaterials," Charles L. Geraci, Branch Chief at the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and Co-Coordinator of the NIOSH Nanotechnology Field Team, tells Nanowerk. "People were coming to NIOSH for recommendations; we knew we needed to have a better understanding of the nature of workplace exposure during research, production and use." But, in a new and relatively little studied area of industry, where does one find these answers? NIOSH already had a strong research program to address questions in the lab, says Geraci, but field data was needed to have a complete picture. "In our minds, the best way to achieve this was to do what NIOSH does best: get in the field and gather data through observation and measurement." In 2006, the concept of a field team dedicated to this effort was developed.Posted: Oct 9th, 2007
New technology, whether it is a novel cancer treatment or an innovative approach to making a new material, almost always comes with risk. Nanotechnologies are no different. Certain nano-fabrication techniques employ toxic chemicals, the production of carbon nanotubes results in dangerous byproducts, and the big question as to what degree certain engineered nanoparticles could be harmful to humans and the environment has not been answered yet. The potentially adverse health effects of fine and ultrafine particles have been studied for decades. However, at the core of the nanotoxicological debate is the fact that nanoparticles are not just a smaller version of certain particles, but they are very different from their everyday counterparts with regard to their physical properties and catalytic activities. Thus their adverse effects cannot simply be derived from the known toxicity of the macro-sized material. One useful contribution to moving the nanotoxicology discussion further along came from the 1st Nobel Forum Mini-Symposium on Nanotoxicology that was held in Stockholm, Sweden. The event's program was devoted to the topic of definitions and standardization in nanotoxicological research, as well as nano-specific risk assessment and regulatory/legislative issues. A group of international experts presented examples of recent and ongoing studies of carbon-based nanomaterials, including single-walled carbon nanotubes, using a wide range of in vitro and in vivo model systems. This Spotlight will provide you with some highlights and conclusions from this exciting meeting.Posted: Sep 13th, 2007
The much heralded nanotechnology revolution is not happening with a big bang that completely turns our lives upside down, but rather in a creeping stealth mode where many ordinary everyday products, from cosmetics and textiles to electronic devices, sporting goods and car paint increasingly contain engineered nanoparticles. Sometimes, these nanoparticles are just a smaller version of the material already used in a product, for instance zinc oxide in sunscreen lotions, sometimes these particles are a new addition to a product, as for example fullerenes added to oil lubricants to improve their performance. This trend of increasing use of engineered nanoparticles in commercial products raises the question of what happens at the end-of-life stage of these products, when they get disposed or recycled. Is there is a risk of these nanoparticles being released into the environment? And if yes, is there a risk of these nanoparticles causing harm? This is an area of nanotechnology risk research that remains largely unexplored. In a groundbreaking study to determine the effects of nanoparticles on aquatic organisms, scientists at the University of Wisconsin's Great Lakes Water Institute in Milwaukee have demonstrated that all nanoparticles are not created equal - at least when it comes to their effects on aquatic organisms. They have also discovered that existing attitudes toward the safety of titanium dioxide may be dangerous.Posted: Sep 7th, 2007
The fight against infections is as old as civilization. Silver, for instance, had already been recognized in ancient Greece and Rome for its infection-fighting properties and it has a long and intriguing history as an antibiotic in human health care. Modern day pharmaceutical companies developed powerful antibiotics - which also happen to be much more profitable than just plain old silver - an apparent high-tech solution to get nasty microbes such as bacteria under control. In the 1950s, penicillin was so successful that the U.S. surgeon general at the time, William H. Stewart, declared it was "time to close the book on infectious diseases, declare the war against pestilence won." Boy, was he wrong! These days, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that the infections acquired in hospitals alone (of all places! it's 2007 and we can't even make our hospitals safe - how scary is that?) affect approximately 2 million persons annually. In the U.S., between 44,000 and 98,000 people die every year from infections they picked up in hospitals. As our antibiotics become more and more ineffective researchers have begun to re-evaluate old antimicrobial substances such as silver. Antimicrobial nano-silver applications have become a very popular early commercial nanotechnology product. Researchers have now made a first step to add carbon nanotubes to our microbe-killing arsenal.Posted: Aug 24th, 2007
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an intergovernmental organization in which representatives of 30 industrialized countries in North America, Europe and the Asia and Pacific region, as well as the European Commission, meet to co-ordinate and harmonize policies, discuss issues of mutual concern, and work together to respond to international problems. Most of the OECD's work is carried out by more than 200 specialized committees and working groups composed of member country delegates. The OECD's Environment, Health and Safety Division has taken up the safety of nanomaterials as one of their priority issues. After several preliminary meetings in 2005 and 2006, the OECD's Chemical Committee set up a Working Party to address the health and environmental safety implications of manufactured nanomaterials (the WPMN). After a meeting in Berlin, Germany earlier this year, the WPMN has just released a document that compiles information provided by member countries and other delegations on current developments on the safety of manufactured nanomaterials in their countries or organizations and also on current activities related to nanotechnologies and nanomaterials in other International Organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The report makes clear that there are numerous projects and initiatives going on with regard to nanotechnology safety research. It would be nice at some point to see all these research results come together in one coherent and conclusive set of results as to where and what the risks are and how they will be controlled and managed.Posted: Aug 20th, 2007
The question if certain engineered nanoparticles are toxic, and if yes to what degree, is still one of the major issues that hasn't been properly answered yet. Most studies in the literature thus far have focused on the environmental aspects of nanoparticle toxicity, and these studies have been conducted primarily on industrial or natural/incidental nanoparticles. However, engineered nanoparticles are at the forefront of the rapidly developing field of nanomedicine; and here they are deliberately injected into the body to perform a specific medical application: fluorescent agents for imaging; drug delivery vehicles; or therapeutic agents for the destruction of cancer cells (for instance in thermolysis); just to name a few. A brand new review article provides the first comprehensive summary of the properties of engineered nanoparticles which determine their interaction with components of the immune system. It concludes that nanoparticle-based therapeutics are no more intrinsically immunotoxic than traditional pharmaceuticals, such as biotechnology-derived or small molecules. Moreover, incorporation of traditional drugs into nanotechnology formulations frequently results in a decrease in immunotoxicity compared to the native drug. Although many questions still require thorough investigation, the available data suggest that nanoparticles can be engineered to become the next generation of biocompatible drug delivery platforms.Posted: Aug 2nd, 2007

President Hassan Rouhani wants to reach a deal over Iran's nuclear programme with world powers within months and says he has the backing of the country's Supreme Leader.
Rouhani said in a newspaper interview on Wednesday that he was keen to set a three- or six-month timetable to seal a nuclear deal and emphasised that Iran envisioned a process lasting "months not years."
"If we are on the issue of the nuclear file, we need resolution in a reasonable time. The only way forward is for a timeline to be inserted into the negotiations that's short," Rouhani told the Washington Post during a visit to New York, where he addressed the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday.
"The shorter it is, the more beneficial it is to everyone."
Asked if he had the backing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to conclude a deal, Rouhani said: "Settlement of the nuclear file is one of the responsibilities of my government.
"My government is fully empowered to finalize the nuclear talks."
Rouhani's Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, who has been tasked as the lead nuclear negotiator, said on Wednesday that he hoped his counterparts from six world powers, the US, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany, "have the same political will as we do to start serious negotiations with a view to reaching an agreement within the shortest span of time".
Geneva meeting
Zarif will be a part of the Thursday meeting to discuss the next round of negotiations in Geneva, expected in October.
The West and Israel suspect have accused Iran of trying to build a nuclear weapon and imposed crippling sanctions on Tehran.
The sanctions have slashed its vital oil exports and severely restricted its international bank transfers. Inflation has surged and the value of the local currency has plunged.
Tehran has repeatedly denied that its nuclear program is for anything other than peaceful purposes.

Many public policies and private actions affect the risk of injury, illness, or death, yet changes in these risks are not easily valued using market prices. We discuss how to value these risk reductions in the context of benefit-cost analysis. We begin with a pragmatic focus, describing the analytic framework and the approaches currently used for valuation, including estimates of willingness to pay, cost of illness, and monetized quality-adjusted life years. We then turn to some conceptual issues that illustrate areas in need of further exploration.
Keywords: benefit-cost analysis; cost of illness; health risk valuation; value per statistical life; willingness to pay; quality-adjusted life year

¿Yes I agree that first impressions are important and that we make decisions based on what we perceive.
I guess I am bit annoyed that with this type of misconception you are lost to begin with, for despite what first impression I make, there is an underlying judgment there.

Twitter sets IPO price at $26, will raise $1.8B
Research firm Outsell Inc. puts Twitter's fundamental value at about half of the IPO price, says analyst Ken Doctor. That figure is based on factors such as revenue and revenue growth.
"That's not unusual," Doctor says. "Especially for tech companies. You are betting on a big future."
Earlier on Wednesday, Barclays Capital said Twitter had hired it to be its "designated market maker," a critical role when a stock starts trading. A DMM is an experienced trader who supervises the trading of a company's stock on the NYSE. If technical problems arise, the NYSE uses DMMs to bypass electronic trading systems, allowing humans to trade a company's stock. That is not possible on all-electronic stock exchanges such as the Nasdaq.
Twitter got its start 7 years ago, first with Jack Dorsey and then Evan Williams as CEO. Its current chief is Dick Costolo, a former Google executive who once aspired to be a stand-up comedian. On March 21, 2006, Dorsey posted the world's first tweet: "Just setting up my twttr." Noah Glass, who helped create Twitter —but is not mentioned in the company's IPO document — posted the same words just 10 minutes later.
Since then, the social network that lets users send short messages, or "tweets," in 140-character bursts has attracted world leaders, religious icons and celebrities, along with CEOs, businesses and a slew of marketers and self-promoters. Twitter now has more than 230 million users, more than three-quarters of them outside the U.S.
The outsized proportion of international Twitter users is both a challenge and an opportunity for the company. Only 26 percent of Twitter's revenue comes from abroad, though the company has said that it plans to generate more international revenue by hiring additional sales representatives in countries such as Australia, Brazil and Ireland.
AP Technology Writer Michael Liedtke in San Francisco and AP Markets Writer Ken Sweet in New York contributed to this story.

It is so interesting to hear others recollection of that time. Between seeing the satellite photos and hearing all the evidence in question I had no reason to think Iraq was complying with UN requirements. Hans Blix didn't want war. Saddam was very clearly interfering with their work. Nothing was going to change Saddam. He was only a murderous tyrant who was oppressing his people. I don't hear about Iraq much anymore. They aren't saber rattling or invading their neighbors. I don't see them running rough shod over UN resolutions. I know there were pockets of resistance and they continued to attack US troops as long as we were there. The good stories out weigh the bad however. I'm sorry France lost its cheap source of illegal oil. I know that must sting. It is too bad that the US had to take action to support a UN resolution. It is a shame we brought stability to a country in turmoil. Saddam is gone. I don't miss him.

http://www.sj-r.com/breaking/x930798456/Alzheimers-explains-Reagan-support-for-gun-ban-son-says-in-Springfield Even though Reagan himself was shot in an assassination attempt in 1981, he didn't seek additional gun control then, Michael Reagan said. (Reagan's press secretary, Jim Brady, for whom the Brady bill was named, was shot in the head and disabled in the same attack.) "If anything had been in place, that tragic thing that happened in Connecticut still would have happened," Reagan said, referring to the Newtown, Conn., school shootings and to proposed new controls on guns.

Re:Democrat proposes more spending, what a surpriz (583 comments)
http://civilliberty.about.com/od/guncontrol/a/Gun-Rights-Ronald-Reagan.htm The lone piece of significant legislation related to gun rights during the Reagan administration was the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986. Signed into law by Reagan on May 19, 1986, the legislation amended the Gun Control Act of 1968 by repealing parts of the original act that were deemed by studies to be unconstitutional. The National Rifle Association and other pro gun groups lobbied for passage of the legislation, and it was generally considered favorable for gun owners. Among other things, the act made it easier to transport long rifles across the United States, ended federal records-keeping on ammunition sales and prohibited the prosecution of someone passing through areas with strict gun control with firearms in their vehicle, so long as the gun were properly stored. However, the act also contained a provision banning the ownership of any fully automatic firearms not registered by May 19, 1986. That provision was slipped into the legislation as an 11th hour amendment by Rep. William J. Hughes, a New Jersey Democrat. Reagan has been criticized by some gun owners for signing legislation containing the Hughes amendment.

AFRICA/SIERRA LEONE - "A vote in the interest of the nation and in accordance with Gospel values" ask the Bishops
Freetown (Agenzia Fides) - The Bishops of Sierra Leone call on the faithful to unity and commitment in political life in a Pastoral Letter dedicated to the general election in November. The document, sent to Fides Agency, recognizes "that the Church is involved in the political process but is not partisan. In other words, the Church cannot champion the cause of any candidate or political party.
" "Our cause" – continue the Bishops-is the defense of our Country and its citizens, inspired by fundamental moral principles which are essential for every authentic human living."
The Bishops therefore call the citizens to vote for leaders who they believe to be able "to represent and serve national interests to the best of their abilities", but warn that "while you exercise your democratic freedom to vote, it is important to judge a party on its overall policy regarding the key values of the Gospel such as promoting life, human dignity, justice, fostering peace and good governance." It also urges voters not to vote on the basis of tribal affiliation, regional or linguistic.
In the conclusive recommendations the Bishops call on Catholics to reject all forms of violence, the politicians to accept the election result and the police to remain neutral. (L.M.) (Agenzia Fides 07/08/2012)

Your proposal allows employers to provide coverage on their own or to pay into the state pool to provide coverage. We assume the employer cost will be from 4% to 7.5% of payroll, the percentages range in current proposals. If employers' mandatory contributions to health care are capped at substantially less than they pay now, business imperatives will push them to cut benefits or simply transfer employees to the state purchasing pool. In either case, employees would shoulder a larger burden even as health care costs rise faster than their wages.
5. Will Californians in less than perfect health be guaranteed a policy
that they can afford and that provides them sufficient coverage?
We know that insurers want to segregate up to 5% of Californians into a state-administered "high risk" pool that may provide more limited benefits at higher costs.
Currently, the state's high-risk coverage for individuals costs more than private insurance yet has a hard limit of $75,000 in annual medical payments - - roughly the cost of a one-week hospital stay. The governor's plan rightly called for across-the-board "guaranteed issue" of insurance, efficiently spreading risk, yet was silent about what insurers could charge. Speaker Nunez, your last proposal submitted to insurers' segregation scheme.
6. How will your state purchasing pool achieve continuing affordability
to both individuals and taxpayers?
You both have said that the state will negotiate lower rates with insurance companies, at least for the state pool that provides coverage that employers do not. A purchasing pool serviced by the five HMOs and insurance companies that currently control 80% of the market will be subject to cartel- like pricing, highly resistant to negotiation.
Unfortunately, you will lack full leverage in such negotiations unless
there is a nonprofit state-sponsored health plan to compete with private
insurers. We fear that private insurers

It's easy to see why Stanford is such a poor defensive team. Heck, the Cardinal couldn't even guard the high screen and roll, giving up three DeAngelo Casto point-blank looks midway through the first half. It was part of a 21-5 stretch the Cougars had to build a 13-point lead. At one point in the half WSU was shooting almost 70 percent and that included three misses right at the hoop. … The lead got to 21 at a couple points mainly because the Cougars were playing the type of defense they need to play to be successful in the Pac-10 – aggressive (especially on ball screens) and physical. Let's see if they can keep it up in the second half. … Landry Fields has five points, Klay Thompson 17 in their personal battle. … We'll be back after the game.

Contango Reports Quarter-End And Year-End Results
Contango Oil & Gas Company (NYSE MKT: MCF) reported today that for the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company had net income attributable to common stock of approximately $11.4 million, or $0.75 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income attributable to common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2012 of approximately $9.3 million, or $0.61 per basic and diluted share. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, natural gas and oil sales from continuing operations were approximately $30.7 million, down from $39.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012.
Revenues for the quarter decreased by approximately $9.1 million when compared to the same period last year due to decreased production at our Vermilion 170 and Ship Shoal 263 wells. Our Vermilion 170 well was shut-in for approximately 60 days during the quarter for workover operations, which reduced our revenues for the quarter by approximately $6.2 million. This well resumed production in June and as of June 30, 2013 was producing at a rate of approximately 9.5 million cubic feet equivalent per day ("Mmcfed"), net to Contango. Our Ship Shoal 263 well began to water-out in August 2012, which reduced our revenues for the quarter by approximately $3.8 million when compared to the same period last year.
While net income for the three months ended June 30, 2013 increased when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012, we still had some non-recurring expense items included in the period, such as higher workover costs and general and administrative expenses as follows:
- We incurred approximately $7.7 million in workover costs for the quarter associated with our Vermilion 170 well.
- We incurred approximately $2.3 million in expenditures associated with the merger with Crimson Exploration, Inc. ("Crimson")
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, natural gas and oil sales from continuing operations were approximately $127.2 million, compared to $179.3 million for the same period last year. This decrease of $52.1 million was mainly attributable to decreased production at our Vermilion 170 and Ship Shoal 263 wells, as well as a decrease in the price received for oil and condensate and natural gas liquids ("NGLs") for the period, slightly offset by an increase in the price received for natural gas.

DNS and see it hang for two minutes).
- Login manangers changing device permissions.
- Gnome automounting removable disks that don't have
the 'user' flags set in /etc/fstab.
- Digital camera software making unauthorised copies
of pictures to the local hard disk.
And more. This is 'big brother' security - basically
it means: 'trust us, we want the best for you, and are
trying to make your life easy'.
* If this trend continues then within a year or two
there will some 'FilesystemKit' that requires the OK
from freedesktop.org each time you open a file. And
no doubt also a 'DecencyKit' checking the color of
your underwear.
* It is IHMO high time to start the development of a
kernel patch that removes all of this, and provides a
clean POSIX system to those who want it.

DALLAS—Henda Salmeron has a keen interest in breast cancer--that's because a year ago this month she was given the worst news of her life.
"I was diagnosed with a four centimeter tumor that went undetected through mammography," Salmeron said. "They anticipate that it was there for three years."
Because the tumor went undetected for so long Salmeron had two lumpectomies and radiation treatment--but now a simple blood test might detect breast cancer far better than a mammogram.
The test looks for high levels of a protein called epidermal growth factor receptor. Researchers studied a large group of women and found that those with high levels of the protein were three times more likely to be diagnosed with cancer later on. The protein was unusually high up to 17- month before they were diagnosed.
Baylor-Grapevine oncologist Thomas Anderson calls the research exciting.
"Mammography doesn't really work well for women who have dense breasts, it can't identify some of these small tumors so if there was a blood test that could do the same thing or even better then that would be a great advance," Dr. Anderson said.
Salmeron said that's what caused her tumor to stay hidden for three years.
"I have dense breast tissue and it's because of dense breast tissue that my four centimeter tumor went undetected by mammography because the largest part of that tumor was in the densest part of my breast," Salmeron said.
About 20% of of all tumors are never spotted in women with dense breast tissue. The scientific breakthrough comes too late for Salmeron who is now cancer free but for other women--someday soon tumors may have nowhere to hide.
"It can save a lot of lives because today when you have breast cancer in most cases it's very treatable if it's early detected," Salmeron said.
Researchers said it's too early to tell if the test can be used alone to diagnose cancer but that it may be used along with other screening processes like self examinations and mammograms.

I need to modify or create a roof family that has Standing Seam Metal Roofing on its exterior surface - the actual roofing material. Has anyone been able to create such a hybred . . . simply, successfully?
at the roof settings you can define the material of the roof. You can set how it should be displayed in the project graphically (in 3D) and how it should be displayed in the rendering. You need to select "Standing Seam Roofing" in the render Appearance Library and you can specify it's appearance more at the metal settings.
I have created a small video file about the steps; please check it:http://screencast.com/t/g20J5yWD
Kind regards,
Great idea, the video. I'm not certain what I'm doing wrong, but I don't get the results shown. There appears to be no soundtrack (at least It doesn't come through on my speakers or headphones).
I get a very different "Materials" window that comes up with a long list rather than the short one (I can't read the words) in the video. When I try to edit the roof surface material. I'm only able to change the color and render appearance, but can't get the seams Surface Pattern to display correctly. I may not be selecting the correct fill. I'm using Vertical lines edited to 1/8" apart and set to "Vertical". They appear vertical in reference to the view rather than the element's roof plane slope. I get the same result setting the Orientation . . . to "Align with Element" or "Keep Readable".
Maybe a couple of details will shed light: I using Revit Architecture 2011 and the roof is a custom family that includes framing. would either of these cause what I see to look different than your video? Thanks for all your effort. I'm sure the problem resides in the mind of the requestor!
I see. The rendering materials originate from the material libraries, that you install by default
with an Autodesk 2011 product.
Do you have installed the material libraries for Revit 2011?
-Autodesk Material Library 2011
-Autodesk Material Library 2011 Base Image Library
-Autodesk Material Library 2011 Medium Image Library
Check if you can see the folders of the materials eg find "standing seam roofing" on the path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\Materials2011\assetlibrary_base.fbm\1(or2 or
Attached a screenshot as well.
If the libraries are missing you need to install them.
About this topis let me recommend 2 articles from the revit Clinic:
Hope this way you can solve the issue.
ps- At the video file I haven't added sound
Kind regards,
I'm also trying to create a roof with a standing seam metal roof as the finish material. I looked for the "Standing seam metal" render apperance, but couldn't find it. Also, I tried looking at the video previously posted but the file appears to have benn romeved. Can you make it avelabable again or guide me in the steps that I should take to achieve this?
