Forbes Names Qualtrics Among Top 25 Of America's Most Promising Companies
Qualtrics, the world's leading provider of enterprise data collection and analysis software, today announced that it has been ranked #24 in Forbes' annual list of America's Most Promising Companies. Qualtrics was selected for its accelerating growth in both enterprise software and the technology industry as a whole.
Now in its third year, Forbes' annual rankings recognize the top 100 privately held, high-growth companies with bright futures to watch in the coming year. In conjunction with data research firm CB Insights, Forbes identified the top U.S.-based, private companies from a holistic perspective, taking into consideration each company's growth, quality of its management team and investors, margins, market size and key partnerships. To view the list, visit here.
"We're really excited to be recognized as one of the top privately held companies in the U.S," said Ryan Smith, CEO of Qualtrics. "I would personally like to thank each of our clients and each of our employees, without whose support Qualtrics would not have achieved such recognition."
Qualtrics recently reported impressive business and customer momentum from 2012, with quarter-over-quarter revenue growth and over one billion surveys served on the Qualtrics platform. The number of customers grew to over 5,000 across all major industries, demonstrating the demand for real-time data and insights to drive business decisions. Qualtrics customers include half the Fortune 100 and 95 of the top 100 business schools.In 2012, Qualtrics received a $70 million investment from Accel Partners and Sequoia Capital, the two firms' largest-ever joint investment to date. List Methodology: One metric never says it all. For the Most Promising list, Forbes strove for a holistic gauge of young, privately-held companies, trying to pin down their trajectories by looking at a slew of variables. Over the course of six months Forbes reviewed thousands of applications. The final assessment is based on growth (both in sales and hiring), quality of management team and investors, margins, market size and key partnerships. Forbes turned to CB Insights, a Manhattan-based data research firm that specializes in assessing private companies, to refine the search. Their Mosaic software scans 45,000 sources to measure a company's health. A new distribution deal, for example, marks a positive signal, while the loss of an executive is a negative. Mosaic gathers those myriad signals into a final score that Forbes uses as an initial guide in producing the list. After verifying sales numbers, speaking with each company and debating their merits and blemishes, Forbes produces a final ranking.

Haiti's Michael Brun Talks EDM Stardom and Label

Every major city in America has a "crusty" straight-up punk band. The members sport studded leather jackets, liberty spiked Mohawks, and dirty jeans — the uniform popularized by early-Eighties, Second Wave UK punk acts like GBH and the Exploited. Once dressed for the part, they do their best to sound just like those two bands — a charging, chainsaw-guitar-led musical attack with two speeds: 200 mph hardcore gallop and mid-tempo, tribal, circle-pit anthems. If you go to one of their shows, you will probably hear at least one plan to Dumpster-dive for pizza, and if you listen closely, you can learn exactly how much a six-pack of Old Milwaukee costs at the nearest 7-Eleven, including tax.
The Boston crust kings of The Unseen started out much like all of their contemporaries: one foot in the gutter and both ears listening to "City Baby's Revenge." But that was 14 years and a million shows ago, and their perseverance has paid off. While their look and gargling-with-glass vocals continue to party like it's 1982, the decade-plus of nonstop roadwork has improved their songwriting and showmanship to the point of no return for the "sellout"-crying crowd. Tunes such as "At Point Break," off of their latest album, Internal Salvation, are just as catchy as anything that's pop-punked out of Southern California in the past half-decade. Which explains why they've spent the past five years on the left coast's most notable punk labels: first a one-and-done stay on Youth Brigade's BYO label, and for the last two records, Rancid frontman Lars Fredrickson's Hellcat imprint. Now, instead of playing dives and sleeping on floors, The Unseen plays the entire Warped Tour and can stay at Motel 6.
But perhaps most impressive is that bassist Tripp Underwood wrote a book. So This Is Readin'? is a hilarious, unsparingly truthful treatise about what it was like to "get in the van" during the first 12 years of the band's career. Opening with a "we're in it for the money" bar mitzvah gig for Aerosmith's bassist's kid, and detailing every last ugly smell, band drama, and broken-down vehicle, it's dually a gut-busting memoir and a scared-straight manual for the no-future crowd. Sure, The Unseen might be one of the most derivative acts in punk, but these guys rock the Mohawk sans the extensions and Rogaine of their forebears. And if you give them some dusted weed, their trip has a good chance of winding up in So This Is Readin' Too?

Critic Reviews for Body and Soul
All Critics (11) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (10) | Rotten (0) | DVD (4)
Trite is hardly the word for the plot, which was already wheezy by the time this minor classic was made in 1947, but Abraham Polonsky's script brings such tight, painful focus to the moral choices that it seems fresh and real.
Garfield's bullish performance saves the movie from its stagy moments and episodic script.
Altogether this Enterprise picture rolls up a round-by-round triumph on points until it comes through with a climactic knockout that hits the all-time high in throat-catching fight films.
If the movie works today, it's probably because of Abraham Polonsky's beautiful screenplay, a rich desert plate filled with glorious, lowdown street and sports prose.
John Garfield gives a wonderful performance in the noir sports melodrama, directed by the blacklisted Polonsky
Audience Reviews for Body and Soul
sure it's the same tired boxing cliches but polonsky's sharp dialogues and garfield's greatest performance made it well worth watching, for me at least. james wong howe wore skates and rolled around the ring shooting the fight scenes with a hand-held camera, creating a level of realism that influenced 'raging bull'More

Super Reviewer
Another classic that often gets missed. It was probably the greatest fight movie until Raging Bull came along. A real hidden gem.More
Super Reviewer
A look at the corrupt sides of professional boxing. John Garfield plays the corrupted boxer. Fast money, fast women, expensive high rise, a corrupted manager that would make Don King's face light up with glee. "Body And Soul" isn't all that corrupt, Garfield's character has a love intrest, a good friend who is looking out for him and a mother who wishes her son would decide to get an education. Great performances by Garfield, Anne Revere, Joseph Pevney, Lili Palmer, Canada Lee and Lloyd Gough. I gave this a 90 but now am giving this a 60. We've seen this story on screen before people.More

|I ordered a few bulbs from a reputable company. A Jack in the Pulpit, konjac, torch lily, etc. Mostly aroids though. I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out the best thing for them. I've read to put in the ground, water them, not water them, put them in the fridge in bags, use peat moss, etc. I'm afraid trying one method and then switching to another when I got better information may have caused shock to them and killed them.
Right now they're in an organic potting mix with mostly peat moss outside on my patio. It's been warm here for some time so I'd expect to see new growth by now. I exposed the tips of the bulbs so the pointy side is facing up. I hope this is the right direction for these particular bulbs. Only one of them, the Jack in the Pulpit, looks discolored on one side because of fungus/mold.
Not sure what to do at this point, just leave them as is? Any help would be appreciated. This is my first season dealing with aroids and plants that go dormant, but I wanted to expand my horizons and learn more about these fascinating plants without killing too many of them in the process. :)

|Sounds like you have a gamut of Aroids, from your description of care instructions.
Jack in the pulpits (araesima spp) do require a cold period, whereas Amorph. konjak needs a dry,coolish spell.
A. konjak will break the surface of the soil when it's warm enough, around 65 degrees F at night. Then begin watering.
As for the fungus on your Araesima, gently scrape the diseased portion off c a small knife that has been sterilized c 1:10 bleach solution until you see healthy tissue. Let corm sit in a cool dry place for a day or two and replant in a well drained soil in a pot c drainage. If temps are warm, keep moist. When you see new growth, water. Excess water should run off.
The plant on the right looks like a Blood Lily, am I correct?

I would also go with Catmull-Rom. Its a cubic interpolation curve that is connected of more Hermite curves. I think its similar to Lagrange curve. You can get the same Lagrange curve by manipulating coefficients.
Bezier curve does not pass trough all of control points or nodes. But if you choose to go with it maybe it would be better to go with B-Splines instead or with NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational Splines)

Top Local Tips for Jaipur
Always hire hotel or professional cars It applies to any location in the world. If you are new to the city and you are a tourist then always choose your hotel cars for your transportation. Although its expensive but it can save you from unseen risks. Also follow the time lines in India, always get back to your hotel well before night time. You can not be casual with time as in western countries. If you are roaming after 10 PM, you yourself inviting unsocial elements. If you take care of your security and take precautions then this is the best place for tourists.
Pink city Jaipur One must visit this city at least once in lifetime. Places like City palace, lots of other palaces, jantar mantar, shopping areas, amer fort are truly great. Everything is very reasonable, people are warm hearted. Must do thing is camel ride near Jal Mahal....

The study also suggests how the insurance should be structured in order to prevent ecological damage. If payouts are only made in periods of extreme drought, the farmers will rely on using their natural risk management strategy in periods of moderate drought, which helps to maintain the quality of the pasture in the long term. "A natural risk management strategy has two effects: it is an investment in the future and at the same time helps to manage short-term risks. Insurance can only minimise the risk in the short term though and therefore does not have this long-term effect," explains Dr. Birgit Mller from the UFZ. If more livestock is now kept in the same area, the departure from a sustainable management strategy might trigger an avalanche: if the pressure on the pasture increases, the regeneration time and as a result productivity will fall, at the same time more soil will be eroded and more area will be turned into desert in these dry regions. This proves that rain-index insurance, just like other forms of insurance, motivates the farmers to take more risks; these may become noticeable in ecological consequences such as increased use of nitrogen and pesticides, a rise in water consumption, less biodiversity and more soil erosion. The erosion and desertification of fields and pastures in dry regions is already a major problem, which according to UN estimates results in an annual loss in income of around 42 billion US dollars.

The TSA PreCheck program keeps growing – it's now available at more than 115 U.S. airports – and I keep getting questions about it. Many ask how they can participate and the good news is, it's easier than ever. Here are seven questions.
1. What is "faster" security?
PreCheck is essentially a pre-9/11 security experience:
- Passengers go through metal detectors
- Shoes, jackets and belts stay on
- Laptops remain in cases
- Zip-bagged toiletries can stay in carry-on bags
Note: You will have to remove heavy winter coats, or fashionable heels with a lot of metal work on them.
2. Is PreCheck always faster?
Usually, but every now and then you run into a PreCheck novice who doesn't quite get the idea and may gum up the works by taking off their shoes. Others fear that if too many join – and some think this is already happening – PreCheck lines will be difficult to tell from the "slow" lanes. All I can tell you is I usually find PreCheck quite speedy (and I fly a lot). The TSA meanwhile says it's adding PreCheck-dedicated lanes to several airports.
3. Does it cost to join PreCheck?
Elite flyers are issued invitations by their airlines allowing them to participate in PreCheck for free. Otherwise, it will cost you – but not much. Here are the two ways to join:
- Sign up for a U.S. government trusted traveler program (example: Global Entry) for $100
- Sign up for PreCheck directly for $85
Note: Both fees are good for five year memberships. However, the $85 PreCheck cost gets you fast security for domestic travel only, while Global Entry includes returns into the U.S. from international flights.
4. How do I sign up?
Sign up for PreCheck here. Once you fill out the relatively simple application, you make an appointment to visit an enrollment center. During this visit, you will be interviewed and fingerprinted. Enrollment centers are located throughout the U.S. and in several airports (including Atlanta, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Nashville, New York's JFK and LaGuardia as well as Washington Dulles). Note: Some airport offices require you to be a ticketed passenger so you may want to make an appointment just before or after a flight.
6. Is joining PreCheck the only way to get faster security?
It's the only way to get it on a consistent basis, but from time to time, the TSA randomly selects flyers from the slow lanes and puts them in the PreCheck line. I've heard that some who've paid for this privilege aren't real happy about that but again, it is random so no one can count on this VIP treatment without formally joining PreCheck.
7. So PreCheck means never having to worry about slow security again?
Not necessarily. Three important facts:
- Not every airport has PreCheck
- Not every airport with PreCheck has PreCheck lanes at every entrance (to find PreCheck entrances, check the TSA app or Google TSA entrance and your three letter airport code such as DFW for Dallas, LAX for Los Angeles, etc.).
- There are no guarantees when it comes to PreCheck. As the TSA has suggested, in order to keep the bad guys off balance, they will "always incorporate random and unpredictable security measures throughout the airport."
But usually, yes – if you sign up for PreCheck – you will get a faster security experience.

suzy, miss a, 2pm, wooyoung
Girl group miss A member Suzy revealed a friendly picture taken with 2PM Wooyoung.
Today, Suzy posted on her Twitter, "I went to support Wooyoung because I filmed at a nearby place. 'Sexy Lady'" along with a picture.
In the picture, Wooyoung and Suzy can be seen making the 'V' signs at the camera. The two are giving off a friendly vibe as if they're siblings, and Suzy is once again showing off her beauty with the long straight hair.
Wooyoung commented on the picture saying, "Suzy, such a nice junior singer. Thank you for your support today. And I know Jia supported me too in her heart~"
Internet users who saw this commented, "The friendly JYP siblings", "Both are so pale", "Suzy is so pretty", and "Wooyoung is so sexy."

This review is from: ASUS Eee Box EB1007-B0200 Nettop Intel Atom D410 (1.66GHz) 1GB DDR2 160GB HDD Linux
Pros: It's a fun little unit to play with. It's basically a laptop without a monitor. I upgraded the RAM to 4GB and installed Linux Mint 10 64 bit. Linux Mint installed fine for me using a USB DVD drive. It runs real well for a $200 computer
Cons: It comes loaded with a real stripped down version of Linux, which would be okay for people just browsing the internet, uploading pictures and playing a few games.
Other Thoughts: I am very happy with the unit.

Living Donors
You can make a difference by joining the ranks of over 50,000 living donors who have donated their kidneys to people facing kidney failure. Since 1954, when the first successful living donor transplant took place in Boston, living donors have been giving the gift of life and making a difference. This tradition has allowed thousands of people to live longer, healthier lives, free from the challenging routine of dialysis. Donating a kidney not only helps the person who receives the kidney but also shortens the deceased donor wait list, helping another person get a deceased donor kidney sooner. Also, all living donors are awarded points for their donation so if they every need a kidney later in life, they will be given priority on the deceased donor list.
Types of Donation
There are three types of living kidney donation:
- Direct donation
- Paired Exchange donation
- Good Samaritan donation
Direct Donation
With direct donation, the donor knows the recipient and wants to donate directly to that person. If the donor is compatible with the intended recipient, the donor's kidney can be transplanted directly into the recipient. The problem with direct donation is that, in the majority of the cases, direct donors are incompatible or poorly compatible with their intended recipients. Below is an illustration of the three hurdles that direct donors must clear before they can donate their kidney to a specific recipient. If the direct donor is not blood compatible with the recipient, does not pass the cross match test or is poorly compatible (i.e. age, HLA, size); the direct donor can still help the recipient through a paired exchange.
Blood Compatible
Pass Cross Match
Paired Exchange Donation
In a kidney exchange, a donor will donate their kidney to another recipient that also has an incompatible or poorly compatible donor. In the example below, a mother and her son enter into an exchange. The son needs a kidney and his mother wants to donate hers, but they are incompatible. A husband and his wife also enter the Registry in a similar situation; the husband wants to donate to his wife but is incompatible. In this kidney exchange, the mother in the first pair would donate her kidney to the wife of the second pair. The husband in the second pair would donate to the son in the first pair. The transplant operations would generally take place at the same time.
Good Samaritan Donation
With Good Samaritan donation, the donor is giving to a stranger. Most recently, Good Samaritan donors have begun initiating chains which are facilitating hundreds of additional living donor transplants at much higher compatibility levels. Chains are a way for one Good Samaritan donor to help many patients get transplants instead of just one person. Chains are a major breakthrough in transplantation and are revolutionizing the process by eliminating incompatibility as a barrier to donation and providing a way for all recipients to find very well matched donors.
Chains are initiated by a Good Samaritan donor and fundamentally change the math of paired exchanges, allowing for better donor-recipient matches, providing a way for poorly compatible donors and recipients to improve match compatibility. Chains have the potential to facilitate highly compatible transplants, in some cases six antigen matches, allowing the transplanted kidney to function longer in the recipient, creating fewer antibodies and allowing the recipient to potentially take lower doses of medications. To date the Registry has facilitated two six antigen match transplants (approximately 1% of transplants) utilizing chain matching. As the Registry pool size increases, the number of six antigen matches will increase), Many Good Samaritan donors choose to start donor chains because it is a way to help more than one person suffering from kidney failure. One chain typically facilitates 6 transplants but in some cased can facilitate over 20 transplants.
Why the National Kidney Registry
If you want to donate to someone in need of a kidney, the National Kidney Registry will give you the best chance of helping the most patients with your donation. The National Kidney Registry works with most of the top transplant hospitals in the United States and has facilitated more exchange transplants than any other exchange program in the world. Additionally, the patient outcomes from transplants facilitated by the National Kidney Registry are superior to the average U.S. living donor transplant outcome (see below). We believe this is driven by the improved donor - recipient matches available through the National Kidney Registry.
Paired Exchange donors participating in the Registry will be assured that:
- You will be provided a "Swap Expert Patient Advisory" that will describe your pair's key matching variables
- You will be matched as quickly as possible so you and your recipient can minimize your wait time
- You will not be required to travel in order to participate in a swap
- Your recipient will get the best matched donor possible through utilization of donor age, donor size and HLA match preferences
- We will work hard to create the longest chain which will help others get transplanted
Good Samaritan donors participating in the Registry will be assured that:
- You will be supported by an experienced Registry advocate who intimately understands the process
- You will be matched in accordance with your donation timeframe so that your surgery fits into your schedule
- The patients that you help will get the best matched donor possible through utilization of donor age, donor size and HLA match preferences
- We will work hard to create the longest chain which maximize your gift by facilitating as many transplants as possible
- You will not be required to travel in order to start a chain
- You will be provided with a donor insurance policy at no cost
Single center exchange programs
There are some transplant centers in the United States that attempt to provide paired exchange services from a "single center". Although this approach will make the logistics easier (no need to ship kidneys or coordinate surgery dates with other centers) this "single center" approach is likely to delay or even prevent a successful paired exchange transplant. Paired Exchange is inherently a numbers game and the larger the exchange program the higher the probability that the patient will quickly get a great match. A great match will increase graft survival and provide a kidney that lasts longer. The NKR is the largest paired exchange program in the world and provides the best chance for patients to rapidly find a great match. The top NKR Member Centers have a 90%+ match / transplant success rate and have an average wait time of less than 6 months for the completion of NKR paired exchange transplants. For more information on NKR Member Center performance CLICK HERE.Working with a transplant center that participated with the NKR will:
- Increase the chance of a "clean cross-match" eliminating the need for desensitization
- Reduce the chance of not getting a match or waiting a long time for a match
- Increase the chance of finding a great HLA match (5 NKR patients have received 6 antigen matched kidneys)
- Increase the chance of finding an age compatible donor match
Recipient Benefits
Dialysis vs. Transplant
People facing kidney failure who are medically qualified for transplant surgery have two basic options: stay on dialysis or get a transplant. Transplantation is far superior to long-term dialysis on all fronts. Transplant recipients generally live twice as long as those who stay on dialysis and transplant recipients are not restricted by the challenging routine of dialysis therapy. These and the quality of life improvements lead many people to seek transplants.
Deceased Donor vs. Living Donor Transplants
If one chooses to pursue a transplant, he or she will have two options: a deceased donor transplant or a living donor transplant. Kidneys transplanted from living donors are superior because they last nearly twice as long as kidneys transplanted from deceased donors (see chart below).
Time Matters
Once a person has made the decision to get a transplant, time matters. Studies indicate that the less time the patient is on dialysis, the higher the survival rate of the transplanted kidney. Receiving a preemptive transplant and never going on dialysis leads to higher transplant success rates (see chart below).
The Match Matters
Not only does time matter but the donor - recipient match matters too. Below are charts that show the impact of donor age and antigen matching on transplant outcomes.
Donor Risks
Life Expectancy
Donating a kidney is major surgery but does not reduce a person's life expectancy. Interestingly, people who have donated a kidney outlive the average person. (Reference: Fehrman-Ekholm, Ingela 2,3; Transplantation, 64(7): 976-978, October 15, 1997.) This fact has fueled an ongoing debate over why kidney donors live longer than expected. Some experts believe that it is simply a selection bias since only healthy people can be selected to be living donors. Others argue that the altruistic act of giving the gift of life and the happiness and satisfaction that follows has a positive impact and leads to a healthier and longer life.
Donors face the possibility of post-operative complications such as bleeding, wound infection, fever, etc. Most of the post-operative complications are generally short-term and can be addressed with quality medical care.
Recovery Time
The two types of kidney removal procedures, laparoscopic and non-laparoscopic, have very different recovery times. Laparoscopic kidney removal is less invasive and allows the donor to be discharged two days after surgery, allowing the donor to return to work in one to four weeks depending on the donor's occupation. Non-laparoscopic surgery has a longer recovery time. Registry member centers generally utilize the laparoscopic procedure.
Mortality Rate
Although more than 6,000 living donors in the United States donate their kidneys every year, the procedure is not without risks. The donor surgery has a .03% mortality rate (i.e., 3 in 10,000). As a point comparison, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, the 2007 infant mortality rate in the United States is .64% (e.g., 64 in 10,000) indicating that it is about 20 times riskier to be born in the United States than to donate a kidney.
Long Term Outcomes
For more details on the long term outcomes of kidney donation, read the article published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Myths about Living Donation for Kidney Transplantation
By Ilana Silver Levine, LMSW and Marian Charlton, RN, CCTC
The purpose of kidney transplantation is to give a healthy kidney to a person who has kidney disease. A successful kidney transplant may prevent the need for dialysis and the complications associated with kidney failure. For many years, the kidney that was transplanted had to come from a person who had died, from a "deceased donor." But there are not enough deceased donors for the number of people who need kidney transplants. Although living donor kidney transplantation is more common, there are still many myths associated with living donor kidney transplantation.
Myth #1: A kidney donor will have to take medications for the rest of their life
Fact #1: A kidney donor will be given prescriptions for pain medication and stool softeners at discharge from the hospital. These are only for the immediate post-operative period, after that time, a donor does not have to take medication.
Myth #2: A kidney donor will have debilitating pain for an extended period of time.
Fact #2: A kidney donor will have some pain after surgery from both the incisions and related to gas and bloating. This pain will diminish in the days following surgery and can be controlled with pain medication if necessary.
Myth #3: A kidney donor will be on bed rest following surgery.
Fact #3: A kidney donor will be out of bed and walking independently before discharge from the hospital.
Myth #4: A kidney donor will be in the hospital for an extended period of time after surgery.
Fact #4: A kidney donor will be hospitalized for two nights (i.e. if surgery is on a Tuesday, the donor will typically be discharged on Thursday).
Myth #5: A kidney donor can no longer participate in sports or exercise.
Fact #5: A kidney donor should be able to return to regular activities and exercise at approximately 4-6 weeks following surgery.
Myth #6: A kidney donor will have to follow a new diet plan following donation.
Fact #6: A kidney donor should eat a healthy, well balanced diet. There are no dietary restrictions following donation.
Myth #7: A kidney donor can no longer consume alcohol following donation.
Fact #7: While excessive alcohol use is always dangerous, a kidney donor can consume alcohol in moderation.
Myth #8: A female kidney donor should not get pregnant after donation.
Fact #8: A female kidney donor should wait 3-6 months' time after donation to become pregnant. The body requires time to recover from the surgery and to adjust to living with one kidney prior to pregnancy.
Myth #9: A kidney donor's sex life will be negatively affected by donation.
Fact #9: A kidney donor may engage in sexual activity when they feel well enough to do so.

A partnership between local animal welfare groups and a national advocacy organization hopes to save the lives of more homeless and at-risk pets in Mecklenburg County.
At a "Pet Rally" Tuesday morning in Charlotte, area animal advocates, volunteers and a few adoptable pets met for the announcement that the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals will partner with the Humane Society of Charlotte and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department's Animal Care and Control Division for the next five years.
The national ASPCA Partner Community initiative will provide local partners with resources that include training, annual strategy planning and grant opportunities in order to decrease the number of homeless pets in Mecklenburg County.
After an assessment of the resources and challenges available to local partners, the program will also help focus efforts on goals that are measurable, sustainable and collaborative, officials said.
Shelly Moore, president of the Humane Society of Charlotte, called the partnership "transformational" for animals in Charlotte, helping pave the way for what she described as "a city where ultimately every healthy animal has a chance at life."
"Having the support and expertise of the ASPCA, and their knowledge of proven strategies that have worked in other communities, is invaluable," Moore said.
Charlotte is one of five cities nationally that have been selected to join the ASPCA Partnership program since it started in 2007. During that time, nearly 1 million animals have been returned to their owners, adopted or spayed/neutered, said ASPCA president and CEO Matt Bershadker.
Roughly 16,000 animals entered Mecklenburg's shelter system in 2013, officials said. Animal Care and Control reported that during the 2013 fiscal year, about 56 percent of the animals taken in were euthanized. The rest were adopted, transferred to another facility or reclaimed by their owners.
Bershadker said in addition to increased spay/neuter services, Charlotte needs "a more innovative and aggressive adoption (program)."
Specific goals for Charlotte-Mecklenburg in 2014 include increasing the overall "live release rate" from community shelter partners, increasing the adoption rate, targeting spay/neuter services in the community and improving the number of lost animals returned to their owners, according to the partnership.
Some of the issues surrounding homeless animals in Mecklenburg County – overcrowded shelters, owners relinquishing their pets, lost pets remaining unclaimed – are faced in other similarly sized communities, according to the partnership. The solutions that Charlotte finds can be a model for many other communities.
Mark Balestra, director of Animal Care and Control, said the next five years working with ASCPA will be a journey, but one that will "have a remarkably profound (impact) on animals in our community."

Yes, I believe in karma, both good and bad. I've seen it happen many times, when bad karma happened because of someone's actions. I've known people who thought that karma only occurred in their next life, but karma proved them wrong and they got bit in the ass hard in this life. And yes, you can change your karma. Everything you do in life comes back to you, in some way or form. Everything you do in life has consequences. Sometimes your actions affect only yourself. Sometimes they affect other people you know. Other times they affect people on the other side of the world, people you will never get a chance to meet. Your actions also affect the planet, its forces, and the plants and animals living here. We don't live in isolated bubbles. We live in connection with everyone and everything around us and it's naive to think that whatever we do has no affect at all. Karma shows us just how wrong that thinking is.

Adobe turns 30 this week
The Life@Adobe blog reminds us that Adobe Systems turns 30 years old this week. Wow, that's gone by pretty fast.
Founded in 1982 by John Warnock and Charles Geschke, the company started when the pair left Xerox PARC to develop the PostScript page description language. Apple was an early fan with its Laser Printer and LaserWriter. In 1985, desktop publishing took off.
Later came Adobe Illustrator, and what would become the company's flagship product (and my favorite), Photoshop, which revolutionized image editing. I don't think a day goes by that I don't touch Photoshop, and I've been using it and upgrading since version 1.0 in 1990 when it was a Macintosh exclusive. In 1993, Adobe introduced PDF files and the Acrobat Reader, which is now up to version 11. It's another Adobe product that many people use daily.
Like all big companies, Adobe has had its share of missteps. Most recently perhaps, the drama with Apple over Adobe Flash, which Apple chose to not support on iOS devices.
After 30 years, Adobe continues to make a tremendous contribution to graphics, photography, printing and web design. It's hard to find a digital product or media tool that lacks some Adobe DNA. Another 30 years of success is a pretty sure thing.

BuzzFeed's "Apps for Women" Is Degrating
By Ciara LaVelle
Ebgi: When I was sending out invitations for "Manifest Destiny," some people, especially men, were curious as to why I was curating a show based on gender. My response was: Why not? There was never a feminist movement in Miami like there was in New York or California -- and I don't particularly care if there is one or not. What bothered me when I lived in Miami and went to group shows -- where perhaps one or two of the artists were women -- was that no one else seemed to be bothered by this. I just thought that maybe there weren't as many women producing art, or if they were, they probably sucked. Of course when I began organizing "Manifest Destiny" and searched for women, I realized that there were so many more women with talent than I would have ever imagined.
How do you see your exhibit in the context of Art Miami?
Arias: I loved having the opening reception in conjunction to Art Miami's Design District party. Miami had a month to recover from all of the amazing Art Basel festivities, and Art Miami came soon after with a much broader market for Latin American art and its collectors. The attendance of visitors to the fair brought a new collector base to Miami and the Design District.
Ebgi: Honestly, I do not see "Manifest Destiny" in the context of Art Miami. Rather, I see the exhibition in the social context of Miami art.
Some have pointed out that "Manifest Destiny" is a xenophobic label. Why did you use it?
Ebgi: I know that historically Manifest Destiny has negative connotations, but I am utilizing the term in its most essential and idealistic definition: the inevitability of expansion. The female art community in Miami expanding and manifesting its destination within the context of the greater art community.

With live jazz music, USDA Prime steaks aged at least 21 days, and the freshest of seafood, Pete Miller's Seafood & Prime Steak is a living tribute to the colorful life of Harold "Pete" Miller. Miller grew up an avid hunter, studied History in college, and earned a Purple Heart as a marine in WWII. He even spent time slinging hats, before eventually settling on becoming a music salesman—a profession that would ignite his love of jazz and lead him to the rhythm-rich city of Chicago. Once settled, he discovered the Davis Street Fishmarket in Evanston where he became a regular, albeit outspoken, patron. He incessantly offered recommendations and recipe suggestions, eventually inciting the chef to hand him an apron and shout, "Do it yourself if you think you know so much!" Miller accepted the challenge and kicked off his culinary career with his usual flair and spontaneity.
Today, the pair of restaurants proudly carrying his name keep his legacy alive, hosting live jazz almost every night of the week, just like he would have wanted. In addition to the regular dinner menu, which features the likes of whole steamed lobsters and bone-in fillets, there's also a bar menu that boasts more casual eats, such as burgers and sandwiches dressed in khaki slacks. The Wheeling location's 250-seat patio features a granite bar with room for 50 people, as well as three huge fireplaces.
For Chef Rob, cooking fine cuisine is a family affair. He learned his skills at the knee of his Sicilian grandmother, who taught him everything he knows about how to run a kitchen. Today, he still hones his recipes in a similar setting, cooking furiously as his wife and daughter stand ready to dutifully taste his creations. After finishing his at-home experiments with the daily haul from the local market, he heads to Wilmette Chop House to begin preparing food for that night?s hungry customers.
During the dinner rush, Rob welcomes many of the same faces that he laughed and joked with at the market that morning. He oversees a grill filled with filet mignon, lobster tails, and his signature double-cut bone-in smoked pork chops. These delicious proteins come out hot on the heels of fresh-baked bread, acquired from Heavenly Hearth Bakery just around the corner. To wash down Chef Rob?s creations, bartenders mix up the restaurant?s signature cocktail?the Thin Mintini. In addition to describing the drink's refreshing taste, the beverage?s name also hints at the building?s history; the venue once served as the original bakery for the Girl Scouts of the USA.
Not content to cater only to two of the five senses, Rob also retains the services of professional musicians at his piano bar on most evenings, who wow audiences and reviewers with their skill at the keys and with catching food tossed at their mouths.
"Who cooked that hamburger?" That demand came from Arnie Morton as he burst into the Playboy Club's kitchen in Montreal. Klaus Fristch was the culprit, and to his relief, Arnie declared it the best he'd ever tasted. From that moment on, the pair formed a lasting partnership that resulted in several restaurants —including Morton's The Steakhouse, which opened as a basement spot on Chicago's State Street in 1978. While Morton's The Steakhouse has grown to include over 69 locations, they all remain true to the founders' original tenets: "Quality. Consistency. Genuine Hospitality." They use only USDA prime-aged beef—the top USDA ranking and a slim percentage of all meat—which they age for 23–28 days. To menu also accommodates lighter tastes with fresh seafood offerings, such as baked whole Maine lobsters and oysters in the half shell. This attention to detail and a business-casual ambiance has earned the chain several awards and press mentions throughout the years.
Crystal chandeliers glint over Caf? la Cave's main lobby, beckoning diners into opulent ballrooms, spacious banquet rooms, and the cavern room itself. Inside the restaurant?s rock-lined walls, rippling lighting, and singing stalagmites, chefs carve and cook many entrees tableside, including the tenderloin medallions of steak Diane saut?ed with garlic, shallots, and cognac. Cocktails from the full bar and a carefully selected wine list pair with entrees as smoothly as creamy sides of garlic mashed potatoes pair with wild-mushroom mac 'n' cheese.
Featured on one of Gayot's Top 10 of 2012 lists, the seafood at Hugo's Frog Bar & Fish House "could not be fresher or better cooked." In addition to steaks and chops from its sister restaurant, Gibson's, Hugo's menu showcases a spread of classically prepared familiars including oysters on the half shell, pan-seared scallops, and giant lobster tails joined by drawn butter. But the eatery's signature dish is a different kind of aquatic creature: frog legs arrive at tables sautéed and soaked in garlic butter. Maritime decor complements the nautical morsels, from nostalgic photographs of lighthouses to miniature models of ships to barnacles on the eyebrows of every server.
Using all-natural meats, Amish free-range chicken, and produce from Midwestern farmers' markets, Hemmingway's Bistro serves fresh, flavorful French fare in an attractive, white-tablecloth-laden dining room. Executive Chef Ala's fondness for melt-on-your-tongue seafood makes its mark on the menu—the restaurant imports fish from the East Coast daily. Satiate seafood cravings with the herb-crusted whitefish paired with caper butter ($18.95), or guzzle away at the Dijon salmon with a side of cream lentils ($21.95). The Classic ($36.95) stuffs grumbling stomachs with half a lobster, nine oysters, three shrimp, three clams, six mussels, and two crabs. Before the main course, showcase your magic skills by cutting the baked brie topped with apricot preserves ($11.95) in half with your saw-teeth. Vegetarians can fork in warm goat-cheese petite salad ($7.95) while carnivores sink their teeth into the roasted lamb rack paired with ratatouille ($26.95). Cleanse your esophagus with a glass of '99 Saint Clement syrah ($9 for a glass) or an '06 Campanile pinot grigio ($7 for a glass) from Hemmingway's stockpile of red and white wines.

1994 Mazda 323 from North America
After owning 3 Mercedes, one Toyota Corolla and others, this is the best car that I have ever owned
Seats show a lot of wear at 100,000.
Replaced radiator at 125,000 miles.
Complete brake job at 175,000 miles.
Replaced both front axles at 225,000 miles.
Replaced Valve cover gasket at 225,000.
Replace timing belt every 70,000 miles as recommended.
General Comments:
A great car. All maintenance has been routine.
The car was totaled in 2003, but because it was so reliable, I bought it from my insurance company and had it fixed. This was at 134,000 miles.
The car just keeps on running. I still get 33 mpg, and I am working on the 2nd paint job.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

we have a request from a client to add some type of password validation to one of their info path forms. This means that before the user could submit the form they would somehow be prompted for their share-point username and password. I think we can build a custom web service to accomplish this but I was wondering if anyone has done something like this before or has any ideas. We know how we want to handle the user interaction on the info-path side but the uncertainty comes from how to validate the users credentials. We would like to avoid code behind if possible but if that is the best way we can consider it.

BEST PLACE TO PLAY POOL Miami 2005 - New Wave Billiards
1403 SW 107th Ave.
Miami, FL 33174
Thirty well-kept professional-size tables, fair drink prices, an excellent jukebox, and low prices -- $10 per hour (for the table, not per person) for two players, $12 per hour for three -- are all good reasons to shoot stick at this FIU-adjacent pool hall. Where most places either have cheap prices and terrible equipment (ripped felt, bent cues) or top-notch equipment accompanied by outrageous prices, New Wave strikes the right balance. Plus you can watch the viejos shoot true billiards on the six pocketless tables in the center of the room.

Coastal Contacts Sets New Eyeglasses Orders Record Of $2.0 Million Last Week
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 23, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coastal Contacts Inc. (TSX:COA) (Stockholm:COA), the worlds largest online retailer of eyeglasses and contact lenses announced today that the Company generated an eyeglasses orders record of approximately $2.0 million last week. Total units for the period were more than 28,000 pairs of eyeglasses.
"Coastal continues to experience growing consumer demand for our unique eyeglasses offering," stated Roger Hardy, Coastal Contacts, Founder and CEO. "We are seeing increasing demand from new customers as well as strong demand from repeat customers as we move into the seasonally stronger eyeglasses periods. Two trends stood out last week.
