Ocean carriers say plans to impose congestion surcharges if there's an International Longshoremen's Association work stoppage are precautionary steps and that the charges could be adjusted downward, if they're imposed at all.
Michael White, president, North America, at Maersk Line, said Maersk doesn't see the increases as a way to increase profit. He said the company filed the required 30-day notice of the surcharges merely to ensure it wouldn't be stuck with unrecoverable costs if East and Gulf Coast ports are closed when the ILA contract expires at the end of the month.
"It's something that we hope doesn't come to pass, but to be prudent, we had to file these in advance, and we'll adjust them as appropriate," White said during a panel discussion at the annual South Carolina International Trade Conference.
Robert Sappio, a longtime APL executive who this month was named president and CEO of Rickmers America, noted that several carrier filings for surcharges of $1,000 per container or more allow the charges to be lowered.
He said a port shutdown would hit carriers with increased costs for ship charters and other expenses.
"It's a fact that carriers' expenses, just like shippers' expenses, go up when there is that kind of disruption," he said.
Klaus Schnede, manager, marine, air and facilities procurement, at Eastman Chemical, said the filed surcharges seem excessive. He said his company is paying $2,000 per container extra to reroute some cargo to the West Coast to meet shipper demands.
"To get hit with another $1,000 on top of that doesn't seem fair to me," he said. "The carriers will have some more expense, but I think it is an overreaction."
White said carriers can't risk being unable to recover costs from congestion likely to accompany a port shutdown. He said that since 2005, container lines' overall earnings before taxes and interest have averaged only a 2 percent margin, well below their 8 to 10 percent cost of capital. "That's not sustainable," he said.
He said that from what he has seen, most shippers that have implemented contingency plans have opted to move cargo early instead of diverting shipments to other coasts. He said early stocking may be at least some of the reason for recent increases in retail inventory-sales ratios.
Terry Bunch, director of logistics and customer service at Rayonier, said geography and cost make it uneconomic for some shipments to be diverted to other coasts, leaving shippers with little choice but to await developments and hope a work stoppage can be avoided or is short-lived. "From what I've seen, it's more of a timing issue than a diversion issue," he said.
Greg Rake, senior vice president at Pier 1 Imports, said the threatened strike puts shippers in an uncomfortable position. "If you divert to the West Coast and transload, it costs more money. If there's a work stoppage and you can't get your inventory in, it costs more money. Who loses is the consumer in the United States," he said.
Mediterranean Shipping Co. is adding a port call at Haifa in Israel on both legs of its Golden Gate Service between Asia and the U.S. East Coast via the Suez Canal.
MSC said the first call at Haifa will be by the MSC Anchorage, sailing from Ningbo in China on Oct. 9 and arriving in Haifa on Nov. 9.
The carrier said that by calling Haifa directly from Asia, the Golden Gate Service will provide transit times of 21 days from Shanghai, 17 days from Yantian and 13 days from Singapore.
MSC said the new link will provide a transit time of 11 days from Israel to New York.
MSC will deploy 13 vessels with capacities of 9,200 20-foot-equivalent units on the following revised port rotation: Ningbo, Shanghai, Chiwan, Yantian, Singapore, Haifa, New York, Norfolk, Baltimore, Savannah, Charleston, Freeport, Norfolk, Haifa, Colombo, Singapore, Chiwan, Hong Kong and back to Ningbo.

Cables and Connectors Technology Showcase
May 31, 2011 8:21 AM, by Bennett Liles
A bedrock name in the connector business, Switchcraft markets a huge range of connector and adapter products including analog and digital audio and video, data, power, and control. Also offered are harsh environment connectors including the Micro-Con-X, EN-3 series , and the Mega-Con-X multi-pin selections. Newer additions include the EH series panel-mount connectors. Switchcraft's HDMI feed-through connector comes in nickel or black finish and features a grounding mechanism, making it simple to connect or isolate chassis ground. All EH series connectors are built into a standard XLR housing.
Originally designed for Disney theme parks but now catching the attention of consultants and engineers for other line-array speaker applications as well, the West Penn Wire WP128P has eight pairs of 12 AWG stranded copper conductors and an overall PVC jacket. Indoor applications include intercom, security, sound, and power limited-control circuits.
The newest member of the Medusa series of audio snakes from Whirlwind, the Medusa Data Snake adds two lines of certified Cat-6 twisted pair to the standard multi-pair audio lines and features protective SnakeSkin on the fanouts. Available in a variety of lengths, the snake features metal chassis mount XLRs, Neutrik Ethercon inline and chassis connectors, and a Pig Bag to protect the fanouts in storage. Each audio pair contains two twisted 24GA 7x32 polyethylene insulated conductors with 100 percent foil shield and 24GA drain wire.
To reduce wear and tear on equipment connectors, Wireworks has introduced the MCat524 multichannel multipin-disconnect Cat-5e cable, which provides a breakout of six or 12 RJ-45 connections from the single rugged Wireworks G-Block connector. To reduce EMI, the main cable consists of double-jacketed conductors with a separating foil shield. The truck cable is available in lengths up to 250ft., and the breakouts have color-coded boots on all twisted-pair tails.

Ryanair Chase is a Grade 2 National Hunt chase for 5 year old and above horses.
It is run over a distance of 2 miles 5 furlongs on the new course at the Cheltenham Festival.
It was first run in 2005 as a new race when the Cheltenham Festival was increased to a four-day meeting. It was upgraded to grade 1 status in 2008.
It partially replaced the Cathcart Chase, which was run over the same distance, but restricted to novices and second-season chasers. That race was discontinued and replaced by two separate races; the Festival Trophy and a novices handicap chase also run over 2 miles 5 furlongs.

Harvard Plagiarism Scandal Discovered Partly Due to Typo
In what surely ranks highly on the list of Scandals Discovered Because of Grammatical Errors, Harvard's most recent academic witch hunt was kicked off in part because one professor noticed an unusual typo in the same place in two exams. The discovery, made by assistant professor Matthew Platt, initially placed 13 final exams under suspicion this past spring. When Harvard publicly announced the inquiry at the end of August, the number of undergraduates being investigated had increased to about 125.

Inflatable Plastic Tentacle Could Be Robot Hand of the Future
The robot hands of the future have generally been envisioned as cold, steely mimics of our own appendages, exceedingly well equipped for squeezing the life out of their flesh and blood creators with four fingers and a thumb, as God intended. The hand evolution made best for us may not be the one that's most fitting for our coming android overlords. More and more roboticists and engineers are looking into inflatable limbs that can grip a variety of objects as the wave of the future. This week, Harvard got in on the act, with researchers introducing a soft, plastic, tentacle-inspired gripper hand that inflates in individually controlled segments for maximum grip customization. The tentacle can gently hold a flower, readily coil around a piece of plastic, and may one day be the thing that crushes your windpipe like a drinking straw. Read More -
iPhone App Instantly Identifies Super PACs Behind Political Ads
It's that time of year again. The time when the airwaves are so saturated with political advertisements that you find yourself wishing democracy would go away and leave us clawing one another's eyes out for the world's last remaining loaf of bread in peace. This year promises to be even worse, with money flooding into political action committees and newly unleashed Super PACs swollen with cash money to buy up the commercial space that should be reminding us about fast food items we might like to purchase. With a new mobile app, Super PAC App, you can at least find out who is responsible for the onslaught of presidential campaign ads you're about to be subjected to -- especially if you're one of the poor lost souls in a swing state whose vote might actually count.

Newly Discovered CYCLOPS Gene Points To Vulnerability in Cancer Cells
A long-theorized but only recently discovered class of genes may point to an inherent weakness in tumor cells. Even better news? The soft spot in cancer's defenses is present in cells from a wide variety of cancers, meaning that treatments derived from it could be a tool in fighting cancers across the board, not just targeting one or two types. Researchers from MIT, Harvard and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute report on these so-called CYCLOPS genes (the acronym officially stands for Copy number alterations Yielding Cancer Liabilities Owing to Partial losS, but we suspect the name stuck mostly because it just sounds cool) this week in the journal Cell.

The result is a floppy, undulating quadruped that could point the way for the future of robotics. Read More -
"Dirt Batteries" to Power Cellphones in Africa
Harvard researcher Aviva Presser Aiden and her team have snagged a $100,000 grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to develop and deploy Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) to Africa. These devices can be quickly and cheaply assembled, and can generate electricity from ordinary dirt to recharge cellphones. Powering cellphones with dirt batteries may sounds like a trivial development, but it becomes quite pressing when you look at the numbers. 22% of Africans use cellphones, but over 500 million do not have access to electrical power. For these people, recharging a cellphone means walking perhaps for hours to a recharging station and paying for the power. Recharging a phone typically costs between $.50 and $1, which can add up to a significant amount when the average annual income is measured in "several hundred dollars." The dirt batteries work by taking advantage of the natural metabolic processes of certain microbes. These tiny critters occasionally spit out a free electron while going about their normal business. The MFC batteries capture these electrons and put them to use. Aiden has already used similar technology to power lights in areas separated from municipal power, and has kept an LED burning in her lab for 14 months. In addition to being easy to power, the devices can be built from scratch at a very low cost. So low, that researchers believes that users could recoup the cost of materials after a single charge. For the Aiden, the next step will be taking prototypes into the field and introducing them to communities. Her hope is that by familiarizing people with the batteries, they can create their own without any additional help. If successful, these humble microbes may start lighting up communities across the globe. (Harvard via Gamma Squad) Read More -
This Harvard Entrance Exam from 1899 Will Probably Make You Feel Dumb
Unless you had a very solid classics education in high school, know the sources of the Danube, the Volga, the Ganges, and the Amazon off the top of your head, and are comfortable tackling some hoary arithmetic and plane geometry without the help of a calculator or Wikipedia, you're likely to find this Harvard entrance exam from 1899 more than a little challenging. (Thanks to the NYT for digging it up.) Granted, Latin and Greek were de rigueur for the well-heeled youths of the day -- they probably would have been stumped at the Spanish and Chinese that today's high school students are learning -- but there are plenty of college graduates today who would flee in terror at that first polynomial equation. Full entrance exam below. How would you do?

Worm Mind Control Through Lasers
A team at Harvard University has recently announced that they have developed a methodology to control the very minds of worms by firing lasers at individual neurons. According to Scientific American, by engineering the worms to be light sensitive, scientists were able to stimulate specific parts of the worms' nervous system through their transparent bodies with observable results. For instance, they can make the worm stop, change direction, and even lay eggs.

Origami You Can Program [Video]
Researchers at MIT and Harvard have inched a bit closer towards the engineering holy grail that is programmable matter in the form of so-called "programmable origami," a flat surface capable of folding itself into almost any shape. Electric currents driven through tiny motors govern the folding of the object, and shapes are locked into place by small magnets at the edge of each joint.

9mm Subcompact Shoot-out: Nano, LC9s, and the XD-S 3.3
Subcompact 9mm handguns are very popular carry guns, and in the past we have tested various 9mm compacts that are basically scaled-down service pistols, such as the Glock 26 and the Smith & Wesson Military & Police Compact. In contrast, the handguns covered in this report are 9mm subcompacts designed from inception as compact carry guns. Our test guns chambered in 9mm Luger were the Beretta BU9 Nano JMN9S15 9mm Luger, $369; the Ruger LC9s Standard 3235 9mm Luger, $339; and the Springfield Armory XD-S 3.3 XDS9339B, $494.
Our Beretta BU9 Nano JMN9S15 had an MSRP of $445, but we got ours at CheaperThanDirt.com for $369. At that MSRP, our black Nano, a pink version (JMN9S65), and a Flat Dark Earth-colored one (JMN9S55) are the least expensive pistols in the line, which includes state compliant models (JMN9S15FC, JMN9S65FC, JMN9S55FC) in the same colors, respectively, for $452. More expensive versions come with Crimson Trace lasers for MSRPs that start at $650.

A new automotive industry report from Bank of America Merrill Lynch is out, and we've found some interesting takeaways: one, Ford's new model turnover will be the quickest of the American big three automakers over the next four years; two, that turnover will be led by crossovers and trucks; and three, Lincoln is most definitely planning a big comeback. The information comes courtesy of Bank of America Merrill Lynch, which released its yearly Car Wars report. Among the 46 pages that were released are predictions on market share increases, the average age of major models (the time a nameplate spends between complete overhauls), and the inevitable prediction for share prices. BoA/ML's overall prediction is this: automakers will likely turn away from putting large sums of money on the hood of old cars in hopes of making them sell, and will move more towards frequent updates and new models in the hopes of keeping profit margins high. Perhaps spurred by Chrysler's success--the company updated or overhauled almost its entire lineup during its period of financial turmoil and has since seen big gains--automakers may replace models at a quicker pace. But tucked away in this report are some individual model predictions. BoA/ML predicts that Ford will overhaul 46 percent of its lineup (by volume) in 2015 with the release of an all-new Ford Edge/Lincoln MKX mid-size crossover, a new Ford F-Series pickup truck, and a new Ford Mustang sports car/convertible. It'll follow that up with a 20-percent replacement number in 2016 with a new Ford Explorer, Lincoln MKS, Ford Taurus, and Ford Fiesta. But BoA/ML also predicts that Lincoln will balloon its lineup along the way. Research indicates the possibility of a Lincoln MKD small crossover and MKC sedan in 2014, and a new MKS and an Aviator large crossover in 2016. We've heard murmurs about some form of Lincoln C-segment crossover before, so the MKD comes as little surprise, but the MKC and Aviator are more surprising. Lincoln's naming conventions would predict that MKC stands for "compact," and the MKC would be a Buick Verano/Acura ILX competitor in the burgeoning compact luxury segment. The Aviator, meanwhile, appears to again be based on the Ford Explorer, which could mean it's a new name for the MKT large crossover or an entirely new Explorer-based vehicle. Put all of those predictions together and, assuming they're true, and Lincoln's product portfolio would look much more like the Acura and Buick portfolios against which it arguably competes. Lincoln would have competitors to Buick's Encore, Enclave, Verano, Regal, and LaCrosse, Acura's RDX, MDX, ILX, TL, and RL/RLX, just using existing Ford Motor Company platforms. Fans of the historical luxury carmaker, it would appear the fight's not over yet. It begs the question: what do you want to see from Ford and Lincoln over the next few years? Let us know what you think of the research, and what you'd want to see, in the comments below. Source: Bank of America Merrill Lynch

NAB settles class action for $115m
PUBLISHED: 09 Nov 2012 12:24:00 | UPDATED: 10 Nov 2012 15:03:13PUBLISHED: 09 Nov 2012 PRINT EDITION: 10 Nov 2012NAB says the class action settlement involves a payment of $85 million plus an allowance for interest and costs. Photo: Glenn Hunt
Matthew Drummond and George Liondis
National Australia Bank has become the biggest Australian company to pay significant funds to settle a class action with its shareholders.
NAB will pay $115 million to settle a case brought by plaintiff firm Maurice Blackburn that alleged the bank was too slow to reveal its $1.2 billion exposure to complex financial securities backed by US mortgages during the 2007 and 2008 sub-prime collapse. The bank's shares, which went ex-dividend on Friday, recorded their biggest fall in a year, down 4.26 per cent to close at $23.81.
Jacob Varghese, the lawyer behind the case, said the $115 million settlement amount was fair and reasonable even though he had previously estimated the quantum of losses at $450 million.
"It's difficult to assess what the damages are in a shareholder action. Mainly because it's a new jurisdiction in Australia and we don't have set precedents about what the right measurement of losses is," he said.
The $115 million settlement figure includes Maurice Blackburn's costs, estimated at being about $10 million as well as two years of penalty interest. In its ASX announcement, NAB preferred to disclose a settlement figure of $85 million "plus an allowance in respect of interest and costs". Of the total, $50 million will be met by NAB's insurers and the remainder would not be material on earnings, the bank said.
NAB's company secretary, Michaela Healey, said in the statement the bank did not admit liability and remained confident about its legal position.
"The settlement of the class action is a purely commercial decision made in the interests of our shareholders," she said.
The Australian Financial Review's Street Talk column reported on November 2 that NAB was poised to settle the case in which it was alleged the bank took too long to come clean about write-offs to its portfolio of collateralised debt obligations.
In May 2008 took a provision of $181 million against losses. Two months later it took another provision of $830 million, sending its shares down by more than 13 per cent in a single day.
Friday's settlement means five ASX-listed companies in the past nine years have now agreed to pay a total of $630 million in settling shareholder class actions.
Other settlements have involved Aristocrat Leisure, Multiplex and Centro.
It is likely to add to calls for greater regulation of litigation funders, companies who finance class actions in return for a cut of the proceeds.
A Singapore-based company, International Litigation Funding Partners, will receive between 30 and 40 per cent of the payout less Maurice Blackburn's costs. Last month the High Court ruled in a case involving another funder and mining company Kupang Resources that litigation funders did not need to hold an Australian Financial Services licence, dashing hopes by defence lawyers that funders would be put on a tighter leash.
Mr Varghese on Friday sought to defend the need for litigation funding and class actions, saying they played an important role in ensuring listed companies keep their investors informed and markets transparent.
"Regulators are not resourced so that every time someone does something wrong they will be able to catch up with them.
"Class actions play an important role in filling the gap. They provide an opportunity for shareholders to get some self help," he said.
About 15000 investors had signed up to sue NAB, including hundreds of institutional investors.
The payout caps off a difficult period for the bank, which reported a $1.1 billion drop in profits last week, its first decline in earnings since 2009.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

- The bill imposes tougher reporting requirements on the Treasury
Department and allows countervailing duty suits to be brought for currency
- Senator Reid scheduled the China currency bill ahead of President
Obama's American Jobs Act, S.1549, to send a message of his displeasure
about not being consulted in their formulation of the Jobs Act to Mr.
Obama and his aides
- The bill passed the House overwhelmingly in 2010, but the politics of
passing it now are complicated: Many Republican legislators support it,
but Republican House leadership, namely John Boehner and Eric Cantor, do
not. Reid and many Democratic legislators support it, but Obama "is not
eager to confront China over its currency policy." However, Obama also has
reasons not to oppose it, especially needing Reid to schedule a vote for
his jobs plan:
- One Senate Democratic aide said the Obama administration would be wise
not to take potshots at the legislation, knowing it will depend on Reid to
pass the jobs package and the trade bills.
- Another Senate Democratic aide predicted the administration would steer
clear of the issue regardless of Reid's political maneuver because it does
not want to oppose the popular bipartisan legislation.
- If the bill passes the Senate but House Republican leadership refuses to
bring it to a vote, Democrats have a weapon for their 2012 campaigns;
meanwhile, Obama is likely hoping for just that outcome since it
strengthens Democrats without forcing him to make a tough call.
- But the legislation faces stiff opposition from American-based
multinational corporations. And the White House doesn't care for it. The
Obama administration -- like the Bush administration before it -- doesn't
want a trade war with China and says quiet diplomacy is the best way to
change Chinese policy.
- Democratic officials, currently trying to defend a narrow majority in
the Senate, contend that the issue could give them a boost in
manufacturing states like Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
- Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Bob Casey (D-Pa.) and Debbie Stabenow
(D-Mich.) have all been prominent supporters of the China measure, which
looks to pressure Beijing into letting the value of its currency rise.
- But out that one of the strongest opponents of the China bill - the Club
for Growth, a prominent conservative organization - has already weighed in
on some Senate contests where China could be more of a prominent issue.
- The Club for Growth has already endorsed Josh Mandel, a Republican and
Ohio's treasurer, in that state's Senate race. Mandel's campaign has not
revealed the candidate's stance on the China currency measure.
"Many of the GOP Senate candidates - they're very beholden to the Club for
Growth crowd that's been squeezing folks pretty hard against the bill,"
the strategist said.
- As it stands, Republicans need to capture either three or four seats to
take control of the Senate next year, depending on the outcome of the
presidential election, and appear to be playing defense in far fewer
states than Democrats.
- But even with Democrats casting the measure as a job creator, GOP
officials are skeptical that the China issue will alter the economic
dynamic in Midwest states that currently sport high unemployment rates.
- Sens. Jeff Sessions of Alabama and Richard Burr of North Carolina are
among the Republicans who have joined with Reid, Schumer, Brown, Casey and
Stabenow in backing the current Senate bill.
- In the race for the GOP presidential nomination, Mitt Romney, has taken
aim at China in his jobs proposal.
- But while Obama took more of a hard line against Beijing in the 2008
campaign, the White House has said that, while it wants China to further
appreciate its currency, it is still reviewing the Senate legislation.
- The then-Democratic House also overwhelmingly passed a China currency
measure roughly a year ago, just weeks before voters went to the polls.
Almost 100 Republicans voted for the measure, and all 34 House members
from Michigan and Pennsylvania backed it.
- One of those Michigan lawmakers, former Rep. Pete Hoekstra, is now among
the Republicans looking to unseat Stabenow, which could eat into the
issue's importance in that Senate race.
- A spokeswoman for House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said that
there were no current plans to schedule a vote on a China currency
measure. Cantor, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Rep. Kevin
McCarthy (R-Calif.), the House majority whip, all voted against last
year's China currency measure.
- Still, Scott Paul, the executive director of the Alliance for American
Manufacturing, said that he believed rank-and-file House Republicans, many
of whom have talked about China and trade during their campaigns, would
try to pressure their leadership to hold a vote.
- Senate Democrats could also criticize the GOP House if the currency
measure doesn't move forward.
- Paul's group, a partnership between labor and manufacturers, released a
poll this year that found that roughly six in 10 likely 2012 voters want
U.S. officials to "get tough with China" and that 86 percent want to
penalize nations that toy with exchange rates to gain a trade advantage.

"In an integrational world, UKOM is a game-changer"
UKOM "will bring online up to the same level as other media" said Harry Davies, Team Head for Digital Marketing, COI at yesterday's AOP Research Forum. He added that it would "help the industry start to think about online as mainstream."
David Fletcher, Head of MEC MediaLab, Mediaedge:cia agreed, highlighting how "in an integrational world, UKOM is a game-changer", more so for those working cross-media, he stressed, than the purely digitally-focussed.
Chairing the event, Tim Cain, AOP's Head of Research, outlined the current challenge facing media research: a fragmented digital landscape, with multiple access points – how to determine and prove the value of audiences in this environment?
Download presentations from the event
(AOP members only.)
"Relevance is key"
Giving the agency view on how publishers can prove value, Fletcher revealed that integration (even more than ideas, innovation and integrity) is the pitch buzzword of the day. He advised:
Prove the reach gain for cross-media, where audiences don't overlap – "no-one has yet cracked the integration piece".
Be an expert in your audience segment – for example, if yours is a business audience, know that online dominates for business news at certain hours during the day.
See the wider context – how yours fits into a broader media context, and the life of your audience.
The COI's Davies added that media owners need to prove how they match clients' target audiences - where they didn't, they should consider collaborating with other publishers.
He also urged publishers to highlight behavioural targeting technologies at their disposal.
Ad server data is not always the most robust, he said, so any additional information media owners are able to share with clients is very useful.
For the COI's purposes, Davies added that the proxy for measuring behaviour change needs to be developed further, as it looks increasingly at the entire consumer journey, from exposure to conversion, linking offline and online.
Sue Gray, Head of Commercial and Corporate Research, Channel 4 gave practical insight into how just such a campaign had been carried out for the Home Office, which aimed at raising awareness around the risks of binge drinking.
Linking up with a storyline in Hollyoaks, the campaign capitalised on the high engagement of VOD viewers, and managed to prove the markedly high effect of the campaign on VOD viewers.
A mix of old and new
"Everyone thinks the web is easy to report on, which is not the case", according to Gary Roddy, Research Director, GfK NOP Media.
A mix of old & new is required – citing research proving the effectiveness of TV and online working in tandem, Roddy stressed that proving "what each media adds" is key: "ask how online is the best medium for conveying your client's message."
He added that Gfk's own panel-based research is showing online's influence over FMCG buying habits, "in ways you wouldn't expect."
Defining Engagement
Proving engagement around ad campaigns has been a growing trend in 2009, and the panel was asked how engagement might be defined.
For Channel 4, said Gray, proving engagement relates back to the broadcaster's core purposes, including inspiring change in viewers lives, as the Home Office campaign had worked towards.
For Fletcher, engagement is "a means to an end" – with many different manifestations. Follow the COI model, he advised, and take 10-12 KPIs with a clear line of site, "then obsess over them."

Overall Experience
Great Hotel
January 19, 2015
I travel for a living and Candlewood - Oak Creek is one of the best spots to land. Everyone at the front desk is very friendly and the rooms are super nice!!! I will always stay here when I am in town!!!
pet charge
January 03, 2015
We just feel that the $50.00 charge per night for our 2 dogs was a bit expensive. Maybe for the whole time spent there it would have been more appropriate but not per night.
Great Stay--Great Experience!!!
December 29, 2014
This was our 2nd visit to this particular hotel and will return when in the area and in need of lodging! The kitchenetts are a very handy feature of each suite. Many of the comforts of home. We'll be back!!!
Nice place for a long or short stay

Nice, clean room. Every thing is clean and well maintained.
I didn't use the kitchen this time, but will be back for a longer stay and plan to use it. I love the lending library, including a crockpot!

Officers' Quarters: Alt run aggression {WoW}
Jun 14th 2011 2:22AM Hey, came back to first thank Scott again, second to get a few points straight, third to explain the current status. So thanks scott.
I see a lot of flack coming in the officer's way, unjustly. The discussion had remained calm and reasonable until she was basically accused to forbid weekday raids. Further, the supporter was a notorious troll who had recently been warned against such behavior. So basically, I kicked down a troll that made discussing an important point more difficult. I see also a lot of "power-grabbing", "stop having fun guys" accusations. Let me remind you that there has never been a serious consideration of forbidding weekday raids. See above for false accusation.
Anyhow, here's the current rundown: the weekday day WILL remain, all officers are in agreement that it's useless and pointless to forbid any raiding as long as no harm comes to our "regularly scheduled raid". Where the officer IS right, is that I believe we should make the necessary to offer an opportunity for alt raids in the weekend. I'll give those a shot the coming weekend and see the popularity it gains.
I mentionned that in a reply to Scott, I was mostly looking for tips and ideas on the "how" - I'm fairly confident that despite any bad blood (for the record: Hoot tried to leave for a HM guild, only to come back when he wasn't accepted. I myself am not certain if he won't try to jump ships again.), BOTH Hoots and the officier are in the right, and the point is, as Scott pointed, to forge both ends in a cohesive whole.
The Council of Three Hammers: Fire and Iron newest leader short story {WoW}
Apr 19th 2011 2:04AM I kind of like Moira, in fact - she's crafty, sneaky and willing to sacrifice innocents, but in many ways, she's the anti-hero of her own story.
The only reason she's painted as a villain is that Kurdran is the protagonist here.
Consider - the anti-hero Moira realises that the Council of Three Hammers WILL fail in its current incarnation, leaving her moral pet - her son - in a very dangerous world indeed. Her uncle Magni is not much to blame - he has been willing, if reluctant to enter the Council. Kurdran, however, has been a nuisance for the Council - a bullheaded male that forced his opinions on his followers - much like her father actually.
Desperate times call for desperate measures, and it's up to the willing to take the dirty work in their own hands, even if it means open lies and quiet murder. This is the story of Moira Bronzebeard, daring noblewoman that will see her son live a better tomorrow. This is the story of Moira DarkIron, a woman with little to lose, and a better world to build, no matter the cost.

The Scientific 7-Minute Workout. Ben Wiseman This column appears in the May 12 issue of The New York Times Magazine.
Exercise science is a fine and intellectually fascinating thing. But sometimes you just want someone to lay out guidelines for how to put the newest fitness research into practice. An article in the May-June issue of the American College of Sports Medicine's Health & Fitness Journal does just that. In 12 exercises deploying only body weight, a chair and a wall, it fulfills the latest mandates for high-intensity effort, which essentially combines a long run and a visit to the weight room into about seven minutes of steady discomfort — all of it based on science.

Forums >General Running>New Law Would Force Military to Supply US Made Running Shoes
What I find funny, is that my husband's first shirt started to bitch about the color of running shoes. He doesn't like that they are now brightly colored.
I'll be glad when we're done with the neon/fluorescent/"see you a mile away" colored running shirts.

I wear them for safety purposes, not for good (or bad) looks.
Interval Junkie --Nobby
I wouldn't mind some neutral and muted colored running shoes. Pretty sick of the garish choices offered to men from ASICS. Maybe the army will have a bit of influence on the products lines of running companies.
Would be funny if Newton won the DoD bid, though.

In general, when wearing your uniform, the Navy issues specific guidance on what is acceptable (I.e. black umbrella only, not colorful one). For the P.T. Uniform, I don't recall anything regarding the shoe color. However, a message came out regarding minimalist shoes (they are allowed).
the running shoe color is (should be) a non-issue.

Thais and non-Thais, foodies, chefs, and local shop owners alike have been encouraging me to try Khao Kang for months. The steam table joint opened this winter on a stretch of Woodside Avenue I like to call Little Bangkok. It took me half a year to finally try it, but I am ever so glad I did.
At first glance it looks like a Chinese rice-and-three spot, but it's actually far superior. It recalls the good old days of Sripraphai, before the restaurant skyrocketed to popularity, taking up two storefronts. Selections change daily according to the chef's whim, but they are always fragrant, delicious, and often quite hot. There are a few regulars like a wonderful stewed pork belly and something I like to call the Thai surf and turf, which is available only on weekends. (more…)

This is the Grand Parade in Cork, from across the River Lee on Sullivan's Quay. It was the graffiti on the river wall, "Tek", that prompted me to shoot this image and I like how it came out.
It does lose something in this resized version because of the distant detail but it's going to be a while before everyone has 20″ monitors and even longer before I put full size images on display for public consumption.

Sorry for the long message - I'm a bad summarizer:
When moved I was so happy to have a large patch of bamboo in my patio garden. Turns out the plant was MAJORLY infested with white flies, green flies, and pretty much every other insect. I asked my landlord to have it chopped down, which he did. I knew it would grow back, but I was hoping I'd be able to keep it more under control, and I hoped the bug problem was solved. Fast forward to today - I have a couple feet of bamboo, and unfortunately the bug problem is worse than ever. I just chopped everything off again but I know it's only a matter of weeks before I have the same problem. I don't think digging up the rhizome will work because there is bamboo all over the property (outside my fence and creeping in). If I put a very large, heavy planter - I'm thinking at least 3'x3' (actually it will probably have to be bigger) - right on top of the stumps, what will happen - will they be forced into submission by an insanely heavy pot full of dirt and other plants? Will shoots start popping up elsewhere in my garden (I don't know why, but the patch is in a very limited area of my garden right now)? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have never heard of an outdoor bamboo having insect infestation problems like that. In fact, compared to other plants, bamboo is pretty bug-resistant, except for aphids and bamboo mites.W here do you live? Also, are you 100% sure this is bamboo? (There are a number of plants that resemble bamboo, but are not.) And, if it is bamboo, do you have any idea what species? |

To better ensure student success, FAU has adopted a mandatory placement exam, known as ALEKS, for incoming students. Because students come in with a wide variety of strengths and backgrounds in mathematics, it is reasonable to expect that there will be various levels of readiness among entering students. ALEKS is a powerful artificial-intelligence based mechanism to assess math proficiency and skill level. Students take the exam over the Internet and as many times as desired. The highest score is used to determine placement.
Please read carefully the information below concerning the options you have for enrolling in mathematics courses at FAU based on your ALEKS score. It is important for success in mathematics that you enroll in a course for which you have the necessary preparation and which leads to the math courses required for your particular major.
Who must take ALEKS?
How much does it cost? How, when and where do I take it?
The cost is $10.00 the first time the student takes the exam from home or any non-proctored location. All ALEKS retakes must be proctored in FAU's Testing and Evaluation center, either on the Boca Raton campus (Student Support Services building, Room 210) or on the Davie campus (Liberal Arts building, Room 243A) . If you are retaking the ALEKS and you are out of the FAU Service Area, please email the Testing Office at firstname.lastname@example.com for further instructions . Students are allowed two hours to complete the exam. The charge is $28.50 for each subsequent attempt. Credit card payment is accepted. For further information and instructions please visit http://www.fau.edu/testing/MathPlacement.php . Students must take the exam between April 1 and the first day of classes for fall semester or any summer session, and between November 1 and the first day of classes for spring semester. We highly recommend that students take the exam early. Students enrolling in the fall semester, for example, should take the exam in April or May. Those entering in the spring should take it in November or early December. For the first attempt, students take the exam from home by logging in to MyFAU. Please enter your FAUNet ID (username) and your FAU password. The FAUNetID corresponds to the letters appearing before "@fau.edu" in your FAU email address. After logging in, click on the "Students" tab, then "Take the Math Placement Exam." |
OK, I've taken the exam and have my score. Which class do I register for?
The class you take depends on your probable major. Click here for the math placement advising guidelines for detailed information. If you need help deciding what course is right for you, you should contact the freshman advising office. |
Frequently Asked Questions |
How long does the exam take?
There is a time limit of two hours for the first time you take the exam and any subsequent times after that.
What should I expect on the exam?
Before starting, have ready whatever you might need for calculating answers: paper, pen or pencil, and a calculator you are comfortable with. You should not use a hand-held device for taking this exam.
Before the first question, ALEKS will check your computer software configuration and download the plug-ins necessary to take the exam. Next, there will be a very brief tutorial explaining how to key in your answers.
The exam itself starts by posing questions, some fairly easy and some fairly difficult, to gauge your general ability and to give focus to subsequent questions. If you clearly don't know the answer to a question, you should answer "I don't know." If the topic is one that you are familiar with, you should make an attempt at answering, because ALEKS interprets the "I don't know" answer to mean that you are unfamiliar with the topic. The exam includes questions at many levels so, depending on your background, you may not be familiar with the content of every question.
Exam results appear on the last page. The pie chart at the top of the page displays your performance in various categories. The "What you can do" section that follows itemizes those categories that you performed well in. The "What you are ready to learn next" section lists those areas that you will need to review before taking the exam again.
Your ALEKS placement score appears above the pie chart: "__% Mastery.
Log in to the placement exam site again and click on "Retake Placement." Your scores will appear under "Past Placements." The only score that will not appear here is the score you received in going through the Preparation for Calculus learning module. FAU will obtain that score, however, and it will be used for course placement. Keep in mind that your highest exam score determines placement.
ALEKS scores are valid for 6 months prior to the first day of your mathematics course. You must retake the exam if over 6 months.
How long does it take for my score to be posted so I can register for classes.
It takes up to 3 business days for your ALEKS score to be posted to the Banner system.
Come to the Testing and Evaluation office in the Student Support Services building (SU 80), room 210 on the Boca Raton Campus to pay the $10.00 charge and to receive your access code. If this is your first attempt, you can take the exam from your own personal computer or, if you do not have a computer, you may take the test at any computer lab on campus or in the library. For all subsequent attempts, students must take the exam in the Testing and Evaluation office, where the charge is $28.50 (if you are taking the exam out of the FAU Service Area, please email the Testing office at email@example.com for further instructions).
Should I seek help or assistance while taking the exam?
No, absolutely not. If you get assistance on the exam, the score will not reflect your true mathematics ability, and your performance in the course will be in serious jeopardy.
Do I have to take the exam every time I want to register for a lower division mathematics class?
No. You take the exam only for the first mathematics class you take. If you fail the course and your ALEKS score is over 5 month old, however, you will have to take the exam again.
The exam contains questions for students with varied strengths and backgrounds in mathematics, so you should not worry about your particular score. More important than your score is the class in which you should enroll. Your course of action will very much depend on your probable major. Please refer to our advising advice for more information. Questions may be directed to email@example.com.
If you want a better score to get into a higher-level class, you have several options. If you lack formal training in one or more of the prerequisite topics for the courses, you should take the prerequisite course(s) at FAU. If you previously studied all of the prerequisites and feel that you need a refresher, ALEKS offers a variety of online learning modules, each six weeks in length, designed to work with students to enhance their mathematics ability. The cost for each six-week learning module is $30.00.
If your score was at or slightly above the minimum score required for enrolling in a particular course, you should still consider one of the above options for enhancing your mathematics ability. Keep in mind that the higher your score, the better you will likely perform in the class.
Contact email@example.com for instructions on enrolling for a math prep course at a local community college. Upon completion, you will need to retake the ALEKS placement exam until you achieve a score of 15 or higher.
If you wish to better prepare yourself for your mathematics course or wish to place into a higher level class, the following modules are available through ALEKS:
Your ALEKS score will not appear on your transcript. The score is used primarily to determine course placement. Some FAU advisors might also use the score to offer advice on your strengths and weaknesses in mathematics.

Deuterostomes: Echinoderms, ChordatesThis chapter covers the following animals.
Phylum Echinodermata
Sea stars (Starfish, Class: Asteroidea)Sea stars and their relatives are composed of a central disk, usually with five or a multiple of five arms (rays) extending outward. They feed on bivalves (clams) by pulling apart the shell and lowering their stomach into the mollusk, releasing enzymes and digesting the mollusk, then absorbing the digested material into the body of the starfish, where digestive glands in each arm continue the process of food breakdown. Other ClassesSea Urchins, Sand Dollars - Class Echinoidea ChordatesThe diagram below shows evolutionary relationships among the major clades of chordates but avoids classification into subphylum and classes. For example, the close relationship between Myxini and the rest of the vertebrates can be seen even though there is uncertainty in the classification of Myxini. Chordates exhibit bilateral symmetry. Chordates have the following characteristics at some point in their life history:
Lancelets, Subphylum: Cephalochordata
Tunicates (Sea Squirts), Subphylum: Urochordata
Hagfishes (Class Myxini)
Vertebrates (Subphylum Vertebrata)
Lampreys (Class: Petromyzontida)
Cartilaginous Fish (Class: Chondrichthyes)
Characteristics of Aquatic Osteichthyans (Bony Fish)
Ray-finned Fishs (Class Actinopterygii)
Reptiles (Class Reptilia)
Birds (Class Aves)
Mammals (Class Mammalia)
MonotremesMonotremes are found only in Australia and New Guinea. Unlike other mammals, monotremes lay eggs which the female incubates. They do not have nipples; milk is secreted to the surface of the skin. Only the duckbilled platypus and two species of echidnas (spiny anteaters) survive. Both of these species live in Australia. Marsupials
Eutherians (Placental Mammals)Placental mammals are born relatively mature because a well-developed placenta for nutrient and waste exchange enables them to remain within the mother for an extended period of development. These mammals became dominant during the Cenozoic when they moved into habitats left vacant by the extinction of the dinosaurs. Evolution of Vertebrate Circulatory SystemChambers of the HeartVertebrate hearts contain muscular chambers called atria (sing. atrium) and ventricles. Contraction of the chamber forces blood out. Blood flows in one direction due to valves that prevent backflow. The atrium functions to receive blood that is returning to the heart. When it contracts, blood is pumped into the ventricle. The ventricle is the main pumping chamber of the heart. When it contracts, blood is pumped away from the heart to the body, lungs, or gills. In the diagrams that follow, arrows represent the direction of blood flow in blood vessels (arteries and veins). Blood pressure is represented by the thickness of the arrows. Thick arrows indicate high blood pressure. Blood that is rich in oxygen is represented by red arrows. Blue arrows represent blood that is low in oxygen after it has passed through the body tissues. Fish have a two-chambered heart with one atrium (A) and one ventricle (V). The gills contain many capillaries for gas exchange, so the blood pressure is low after going through the gills. Low-pressure blood from the gills then goes directly to the body, which also has a large number of capillaries. The activity level of fish is limited due to the low rate of blood flow to the body.
