Ext. Color:
POWER FOR ALLWith the 450 SX-F, the KTM range offers a winner bike that draws potential from a large-displacement engine and a chassis perfectly tuned to handling its raw power. Ryan Dungey has used it to win the AMA 450 Motocross Championship and saw absolutely no reason to change bikes in order to defend his title. No wonder, as the compact SOHC engine with the groundbreaking injection technology guarantees brute but highly controllable power. Among the large 4-strokes, the 450 SX-F scores mainly with its performance and agility. It is the right choice for every motocross rider looking for torque and power with lots of control for racing.
The 450 SX-F's crankshaft employs a plain big end bearing. Two force-fitted bearing shells run directly on the crank pin. The necessary oil feed for this bearing is ensured by the engine's pressure lubrication. This design is a major prerequisite for the extremely high engine speed levels and unrivaled maximum power of the 450cc engine. Another decisive customer benefit is the crankshaft service interval which can be lengthened due to the plain bearing.
For 2014, KTM has optimized its gear tooth geometry to provide customers with a lightweight 5-speed gear box with increased durability.
The 450 SX-F employs the KTM-developed DDS (Damped Diaphragm Steel) clutch with a wear-free steel basket and extremely heat resistant clutch plates. This design is distinguished by employing a diaphragm spring instead of the usual coil springs, which makes for a considerably easier clutch action. Strengthened for 2013, the diaphragm spring also leaves sufficient space for a damping system integrated into the clutch hub, which benefits both traction and durability. A stronger inner hub further increases stability. The hydraulic Brembo clutch mechanism with a new master cylinder guarantees a light operation and highly controllable modulation of the clutch.
In combination with the revolutionary injector position as developed by KTM, the Keihin Engine Management System, with electronic fuel injection and 44mm throttle body provides the engine with a spontaneous response and maximum performance. For 2014, the wiring harness of the 450 SX-F has been further simplified and even higher quality wires and connectors are used. In order to protect them against pressure washers, many connectors are now enclosed in new rubber boots. With an optional map-select switch from the KTM PowerParts program, EMS continues to allow selecting different engine characteristics. In addition, the optional User-Setting Tool allows to readout engine data with a laptop and change the ignition and injection mappings with a few mouse clicks.
The side-mounted counter balance shaft also drives the water pump. Thanks to the perfect mass balancing and the power plant's low total oscillating masses, engine vibrations can be kept to a minimum even at the highest engine speeds.
The die-cast crankcase has been further developed by removing the kickstart dome to achieve a weight reduction compared to its predecessor.
The compact 60hp power pack with a single overhead camshaft and the latest electronic fuel injection is distinguished by unrivaled performance and a highly efficient power delivery. Thanks to a revised crankcase, the weight is reduced for 2014.

Three overnight shootings in 70805 area code further prove need for BRAVE program
BATON ROUGE, LA (FOX44) — Another violent night in Baton Rouge after three separate shooting incidents sent three men to the hospital with life threatening injuries.
"There are no signs that indicate that these shootings are related," Cpl. L'Jean McKneely, Baton Rouge Police Deparment, said.
This is the second time within the past week the city has seen multiple, unrelated shootings, and it all comes as law enforcement begins formulating a plan for its new crime fighting initiative.
The first incident happened at roughly 11:30 p.m. on East Brookstown Street. The Baton Rouge Police Department arrived on scene to find a man who had been shot several times. He was transported to a local hospital with life threatening injuries.
A couple hours later at around 1:17 a.m., another man was shot several times on Shelley Street. That man is also in the hospital with life threatening injuries.
Then, less than 20 minutes later, someone flagged down an officer and lead him to the scene of yet another shooting. This one happened at the corner of Prescott and N. Foster. We're told the victim was robbed and shot. The victim was transported to a local hospital where he is suffering from life threatening injuries as well.
All three of these shootings occurred in 70805 area code, which will be the first area of focus for the new BRAVE program. It's a program designed to reduce violence and is used in various high crime areas throughout the country. Although the program is still in the development phase, the Baton Rouge Police Department believes it will be the key to putting and end to this sort of violence.
"I believe that this program [the BRAVE program] will be effective," Cpl. McKneely, said. "They are, at this point in time, formulating a plan to put boots on the ground in an effort to curb this type of violence."
Officials say no motive has been determined in the first two cases. They are seeking a suspects for all three shootings, but need the community's help to do so.
If you know anything about this incident call Crime Stoppers at (225) 344-STOP (7867). You can also text your tip to CRIMES (274637). Include CS225 at the beginning of your message.

[Dateline: New York | Author: UN Regional Commissions]
In their annual interactive regional economic Dialogue with the Second Committee of the General Assembly held on Friday, 17 October, the Executive Secretaries of the five UN Regional Commissions provided regional perspectives on current challenges and opportunities regarding food security in their respective regions.
The Dialogue was initiated by presentations made by the Executive Secretaries of Economic Commission for Europe (ECE), Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA), Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) and Economic Commission for Africa (ECA).
They agreed that one of the main causes of the current food crisis was the decline in food production and supply, against steadily growing demand as a result of population growth.
The Executive Secretaries emphasized the need to refocus attention to agriculture in many developing countries by putting in place measures and incentives for food production, including an increase in the amount of aid allocated to food programmes; an increase in research and technical assistance, at least back to the levels of the 1970s; and a reform of global agricultural markets by completing the Doha Round on trade and placing limits on export/import restraints.
Participants stressed that the impact of the food crisis is compounded by other factors such as the current financial crisis and the negative effects of climate change. As a result, countries in the regions are confronted with a multitude of challenges including the global fragility of multilateral trade, volatility of growth, and liquidity and credit shortages, along with vulnerability to natural disasters.
While acknowledging that Africa is the major victim of the food crisis, the Dialogue re-emphasized the need to achieve the African Green Revolution through the structural transformation of agriculture. In the Asia-Pacific region, where 583 million people remain undernourished, South Asia continues to represent a particularly challenging region, with 46 per cent of children underweight. Countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, which depend heavily on exports to the United States and Europe, could not escape the impact of the crisis and the slowing global economy.
With estimates indicating that the food and fuel crises could push 100 million more people into poverty, the Executive Secretaries called for a multidimensional approach to the problem and emphasized the need for reducing vulnerabilities of the most likely to be affected – the poor.
The Dialogue also emphasized the potential of South-South cooperation as a means to encourage food production in the world and discussed measures to increase productivity in developing countries and to avoid the recurrence of a similar situation. The Persian Gulf countries, for example, which import between 60 and 90 per cent of their food, are already investing in food production in other developing countries in Africa and Asia. The participants strongly voiced their recognition of the value and effectiveness of regional responses to mitigate the impacts of the combined crises.
The presentations made by the Executive Secretaries of the UN Regional Commissions are available from these links: ECA, ECE, ECLAC, ESCAP, ESCWA.

Music History Fine Arts History
A Brief History of Strathmore The Mansion at Strathmore is one of Marylands most gracious homes for the artsa home first created on August 14, 1899 when prominent Washingtonian Captain James Frederick Oyster and his wife purchased the land and began to form the foundation of the mansion. Working under the guidance of architect Appleton P. Clark, Jr., the Oysters nine-bedroom summer home was constructed in a Colonial Revival style. The Oysters enjoyed their summer home until August 1908, at which time they sold the house and 99 acres to Charles I. Corby, a business professional who had patented machinery and techniques that would revolutionize the baking industry. After Charles Corbys death in 1926, his wife, Hattie, remained in the residence until her death in October 1941. Land records show that on July 23, 1943 two parcels of the original Corby estate, including the mansion, were conveyed to St. Marys Academy, who developed the Corby mansion as a convent and school named St. Angela Hall. In April 1977, the Sisters sold the mansion and remaining 30 acres to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association for use as its headquarters.
The story of Strathmore as a destination for the arts begins in 1979, when ASHA relinquished the mansion and eleven acres of land to Montgomery County, Maryland. Shortly thereafter, the house was renamed Strathmore Hall and an agreement was made with the newly created Strathmore Hall Foundation, Incorporated to develop the mansion and grounds as Montgomery Countys first center for the arts. After extensive restoration, Strathmore opened its doors to the public in 1983.
In 1988, Strathmore dedicated its Gudelsky Gazebo to celebrate its fifth anniversary. This classically-styled six-column, copper-roofed structure can hold up to 30 musicians for outdoor concerts. More renovations of the mansion in 1997 added a new state-of-the-art gallery, an expanded gift shop and an improved mansion exterior.
Over the past 25 years under the visionary leadership of President & CEO Eliot Pfanstiehl, Strathmore has hosted more than 5,000 artists and hundreds of thousands of guests at its signature exhibitions, concerts, teas, educational events and outdoor festivals. The Mansion currently consists of the 100-seat Dorothy M. and Maurice C. Shapiro Music Room, the Strathmore Tea Room, the Shop at Strathmore, the Gudelsky Concert Pavilion and Gazebo, and the first floor galleries and Gudelsky Gallery Suite for Strathmore Fine Art.

Tree stumps mark the battleground where environmentalists and loggers clashed over what to do with the timber that was caught in the firefight.
After the smoke cleared, a new fight began: what would be done with the scarred and scorched trees left behind? The U.S. Forest Service wanted to salvage some logs in the burned areas, while environmentalists wanted the land untouched.
"Due to lawsuits and protests, it really didn't start until 2.5-3 years after the fire it started, by that time, much of the wood was already useless. All the pines were rotting and blue stained," explains Dave Schott, with S.O. Timber Industries.
Timber officials say, in the end, 65 million board feet were harvested, about 1% of that which was killed. Conservationists claim some of those areas were never meant to be logged in the first place.
"Because it was a political season, the Forest Service got backed into a corner, that said, 'No, we got to log it all. We don't care if it's a botanical, we don't care if it's a trailhead, or a late sectional reserve, and we're going to log everything," says KS Wild Conservation Director, George Sexton.
Ecologists studied re-growth in the Biscuit area, comparing logged areas with untouched areas. They found the salvage-logged areas had much less plant life years later.
"It's hot; the sun is beating down on you," Sexton describes. "There are invasive weeds, it's a nightmare, and then you get into the stand that wasn't logged, and there's conifer regeneration happening. Actual plant regeneration and succession occurring, and it's much more pleasant."
Today, environmentalists say the clear-cut area is a scab that will never heal. Timber officials say the areas left un-logged is a disastrous waste of resources. But both agree it will be probably centuries before the Biscuit area returns how it was, before the fight, and before the flames.

The wounds of war have never fully healed.
I live with pain,
and I will never, ever get to be
quite whole again.
The battle took its toll. My strength is gone.
I cannot walk too fast or go too far.
Each day I do whatever must be done
and little more.
This truce is tenuous and may yet fail.
My foe is both implacable and sly.
There may be treachery within my blood or bone.
I may yet die.
And though I camouflage my fear with smiles,
I wonder all the while
what sabotage is being wreaked
within me even as I speak.

(ST. LOUIS) --KMOV continues to be on a roll in the local news ratings race. In the just-completed July ratings period, News 4 continued the momentum it has been building all year.
KMOV once again took the big prize as the late news winner with a 3.41 rating at 10pm in adults 25-54, besting KTVI's 3.02, KSDK's 2.97 and KDNL's .3 according to data provided by The Nielsen Company. News 4 at 10 anchored by Steve Savard and Sharon Reed also won the other "sweeps" periods this year, coming in first in both February and May.
That late news success continues to spread to other newscasts. News 4 This Morning, anchored by Andre Hepkins and Claire Kellett has seen the ratings gap between KMOV and KSDK continue to close all year.
For the first time in memory, KMOV beat KSDK in the mornings both in the 4:30am half hour and the 5am hour. KMOV saw its audience increase 33% at 5am, while KSDK saw a 50% decline and KTVI dropped 28% for the hour compared to July 2012. At 5am KMOV earned a 1.0 rating to KSDK's .8 for a second place finish for the month.
At 4:30am, KMOV bested KSDK .6 to .5. In the 6am hour KMOV saw a dramatic 74% increase in viewers from last July in the A25-54 demographic to close within a few tenths of a point of KSDK.
"Our increasing popularity in the morning has been an exciting development as we continue to put more resources into our morning newscast," said KMOV Executive News Director Sean McLaughlin. This is a group of people who really enjoy working together and that energy and enthusiasm are being noticed by St. Louis viewers."
Evening news continues to show a dramatic shift in viewing toward KMOV and away from KSDK and KTVI. All three newscasts are now within a half a rating point in the demo. In the 5pm newscast, KMOV was the only station to see an increase in news viewing with a 13% jump in A25-54 to finish at a 1.8, KSDK saw a 20% decline in the demo to finish at a 2.3, and KTVI dropped nearly 30% to finish at a 2.4. At 6pm, KMOV also saw a 13% increase, while KSDK dropped 11% and KTVI saw its rating in the demo drop 19%.
"While our 10pm newscast continues to reign as the number one late newscast in town, it is great to see such a response to our evening and morning newscasts," said KMOV President and General Manager Mark Pimentel. "To see ratings grow year over year once again in our morning newscasts as well as our 5, 6 and 10pm newscasts is a great testament to the news teams we have put in place and the connection they are making with people throughout the area."

ST. LOUIS, Mo. -- The controversy surrounding Adam Wainwright's "piping" a pitch to Derek Jeter in the All-Star Game has developed into an uncomfortable situation for everyone involved.
Wainwright didn't do anything wrong, except perhaps admitting to the media that he gave Jeter a fat pitch in the first inning. "I was going to give him a couple pipe shots," Wainwright said in an interview during the AL's 5-3 win. "He deserved it."
Longer Wainwright quote in which he says "I made a mistake" and "I'm an idiot." He was exceedingly contrite. pic.twitter.com/hvVLJAhTQv

The death of President Lech Kaczynski could make all the difference on Sunday.
"There are moments in history which can change everything, which can change the course of history," he said in a televised address to Russia. "A great tragedy happened on the 10th of April. The outpouring of commiseration and sympathy from millions of Russians was noted by Poles. Noted and appreciated."
In a leading German paper, Kaczynski called for greater Polish-German cooperation.
In his public appearances he has cut himself off from the radical anti-communist past; where he once compared his political opponents to communist era police thugs, he now calls for an end to conflict between Poles.
The new Kaczynski has proved to be much more popular with voters than the old model. He has steadily ascended in opinion polls, with most now showing him with the support of more than a third of the electorate, and his support continues to edge up.
Komorowski is still far ahead, although he has fallen below the 50 percent needed to win the first round of the election. In the event that no candidate gets a majority, a second round will be held on July 4 between the top two vote getters. It appears certain that the eight minor candidates will be knocked out and Kaczynski will face off against Komorowski for the country's top job.
Komorowski's main campaign pledge is that he will work closely with the government, which comes from the same party he does, and will end the obstructionism that had been a characteristic of Lech Kaczynski's presidency. Kaczynski argues for the need to defend against a monopoly of power by Civic Platform.
The outcome of the election could also affect Poland-United States relations. Kaczynski is instinctively very pro-American, seeking to balance the weight of Brussels and the European Union with a close security relationship with the U.S.
Civic Platform, like almost all Polish political parties, is also pro-American, but its view of the U.S. is more nuanced. The long-standing irritant of the U.S. refusal to eliminate visas for Polish travelers rankles the government, and Donald Tusk, the prime minister, was very annoyed when the U.S. administration dropped its plans to build a missile defense shield in central Europe.
Komorowski has said that if elected he will begin procedures for setting the conditions for Poland's eventual exit from Afghanistan, where the 2,000-strong Polish contingent has suffered 18 deaths.

Under "rock & roll dive bar" in the dictionary, there's a picture of the Caravan Lounge: no frills, no stage and plenty of cheap drinks. Expect to see some loud performances by local and regional punk and metal bands (with the occasional indie-rock group). There are shows every Thursday, Friday and Saturday and never a cover charge.
Caravan Lounge calls itself San Jose's best dive bar and it's probably right. Everything is poured heavy at the 'Van. Local regulars, college kids, metal-heads and San Jose punks soak up the cheap cocktails and the dive bar scene at a steady pace. You can hear virtually everything on the jukebox or come in to shoot some pool and down a brew 15 hours a day. Seriously, the Caravan Lounge is open from 11am to 2am.
Here's a weird thing about the Caravan Lounge: those who don't go there sometimes complain about its 'hipster' crowd. Um, sorry, but the Caravan has nothing to do with trends of any kind. These regulars have been dressing that way for 20 years. It's just that trends have circled around to embrace the Caravan's scruffy rock look once again. The live music's still free and the crowd is still a blast.
2007 BEST OF SILICON VALLEY Staff Pick and Reader Survey Winner - First Place
Best Dive Bar
The heavyweight champ of dive bars, the Caravan Lounge is a die-hard local watering hole where the unpretentiously thirsty can carry on with excellence. When local bands and DJs aren't blaring out rock-centric tunes, the jukebox supplies just about every kind of music you can think of, offering a soundtrack for tattooed sharks to sharpen their skills on the pool table. All walks of life congregate here regularly; wizened blue-collar sots, punk rock hipsters with artfully messed up haircuts, biz pro types taking a relaxing post-work walk on the divey side and even the occasional vagrant whose last bit of cash is dedicated to the strong and cheap drinks the Van provides. Seriously, this place welcomes everyone, even writers who need to end their day with a good shot and a cold beer.

Spasticity is stiff or rigid muscles. It may also be called unusual tightness or increased muscle tone. Reflexes (for example, a knee-jerk reflex) are stronger or exaggerated. The condition can interfere with walking, movement, or speech.
Muscle stiffness; Hypertonia
Spasticity is usually caused by damage to the part of the brain that is involved in movements under your control. It may also occur from damage to the nerves that go from the brain to the spinal cord.
Symptoms of spasticity include:
Spasticity may also affect speech. Severe, long-term spasticity may lead to contracture of muscles. This can reduce range of motion or leave the joints bent.
This list does not include all conditions that can cause spasticity.
Exercise, including muscle stretching, can help make your symptoms less severe. Home-based physical therapy is also helpful.
Contact your health care provider if:
Your doctor will perform a physical exam and ask questions about your symptoms, including:
After determining the cause of your spasticity, the doctor may refer you to a physical therapist. Physical therapy involves different exercises, including muscle stretching and strengthening exercises. Physical therapy exercises can be taught to parents who can then help their child do them at home.

SELF-ASSESSMENT TAX DODGERS are to be targeted by a HM Revenue & Customs' taskforce.
Taskforces usually operate in "short, sharp bursts of activity" in targeted areas of the country and perceived high-risk industries. The new operation will be looking at around 400 taxpayers in London and the South-East, with an expected yield of £6m.
Further reading
Taskforces tackling tax evasion in Northern Ireland, the jewellery trade in the Midlands and fast food outlets in East Anglia are also underway.
The aim is to induce traders in the target industries and areas to voluntarily come forward and settle any outstanding tax liabilities they might have by generating publicity in the local area. Compliance checks are carried out, as well as announced and unannounced visits.
Taskforces are a result of the government's £917m spending review investment to tackle tax evasion, avoidance and fraud from 2011/12, although it is not known what proportion of that budget the taskforces account for. It is hoped, however, it will raise an additional £7bn each year by 2014/15.
HMRC director-general for enforcement and compliance Jennie Grainger said: "Up to 400 people will be targeted by this taskforce. The message is clear - if you choose to defraud the tax system or seek to evade tax, we can and will track you down. You will face not only a heavy fine, but possibly a criminal prosecution as well."

If budgeting is to have any value at all, it needs a radical overhaul. In today's dynamic marketplace, budgeting can no longer serve as a company's only management system; it must integrate with and support dedicated strategy management systems, process improvement systems, and the like. In this paper, Professor Peter Horvath and Dr Ralf Sauter present what's wrong with the current approach to budgeting and how to fix it.
In this white paper CCH provide checklists to help accountants and finance professionals both in practice and in business examine these issues and make plans. Also includes a case study of a large commercial organisation working through the first year of mandatory iXBRL filing.

I would not like to be a participant in an aircraft crash, but if I were forced to do so, I'd want to be riding in an Air Tractor.
Exhibit One: A healthy stream of comments, many by ag pilots, to my YouTube post about the landing crash of a militarized AT-802U variant in October 2010 have nothing but praise for the sturdiness of the type.
Exhibit Two: A just-posted NTSB preliminary report about a turbine AT-402 in Uvalde, Texas on 13 August, further illustrates the point.
It's not real clear what happened, but the excitement started with the pilot messing with his on board GPS (most of us have never done that, right?…) while cruising along pretty low to the ground.
"As he attempted to troubleshoot the [GPS] problem, engine torque dropped momentarily, then returned to 1200 pounds," the NTSB states. "Shortly thereafter, engine torque dropped again and the pilot decided to make a precautionary landing on a road." The FAA inspector later said he was unable to determine the reason for the drop in engine torque.
A typical story would have ended with the pilot landing in a field or on a road, but…
"While on final approach to the road, the pilot looked inside the cockpit momentarily and when he looked outside, he noticed a set of power lines crossing the road," the NTSB continues. "He was able to avoid them."
"The pilot then saw a second set of power lines and while manoeuvring to avoid them, inadvertently stalled the airplane. The right wing dropped, striking the power lines. The airplane spun around and impacted terrain in an inverted attitude."
Despite stalling at low speed, which for an AT-402 is about 60mph, hitting wires and slamming into the ground INVERTED, the pilot walked away with no injuries. Amazing.
Here are pictures of the aircraft during recovery by AvClaims.

So you've been to the doctor and he diagnoses gallstones. If the gallbladder duct isn't blocked, but you have pain from the gallstones, there are a few natural remedies that you can try.
My friend had gallstones and she tried probiotics, which control cholesterol and triglycerides. She said that she used probiotics and fish oil for a long time to get the gallstones to dissolve and flush out of her body. After all, it took the stones a long time to build up, so they won't go away quickly. She said this option was way better than having surgery.

Selvendran and Du Pont (1984), Southgate et al. (1978), and Theander (1981).
Pectins, gums, and mucilages are soluble in water, as are some hemicelluloses, whereas lignins, cellulose, and most hemicelluloses are insoluble in water. Although the physical and chemical properties of different dietary fiber components, such as viscosity, water-holding capacity, ion-exchange capacity, and binding capacity, have been studied, these properties do not adequately predict the physiological properties of specific dietary fibers and of high-fiber whole foods.
Some physiological effects of dietary fiber are systemic, whereas others are localized in the gastrointestinal tract. Diets with a high fiber content are high-volume diets, requiring longer mastication and ingestion time (Heaton, 1980), and subjective assessments indicate that they may increase satiety (Bolton et al., 1981; Duncan et al., 1983; Kay and Stitt, 1978). Although guar gum and pectin, both viscous fibers, have been shown in some studies to delay gastric emptying (Holt et al., 1979; Tadesse, 1982; Wilmshurst and Crawley, 1980), other studies fail to confirm this (Rydning et al., 1985).
Some soluble dietary fiber components, such as oat bran, pectin, and guar gum, stimulate fecal excretion of bile acids. However, wheat bran has no such effect; it promotes a different composition of bile acids than does pectin (Hillman et al., 1986; Pomare and Heaton, 1973; Pomare et al., 1976). Some soluble fibers also lower serum cholesterol (Judd and Truswell, 1985). In short-term studies (a single meal or a few days), soluble fiber fed to healthy subjects enhanced glucose tolerance and increased insulin sensitivity, but the results of longer studies are conflicting (LSRO, 1987).
Dietary fiber affects colonic function and activities of the microflora. High fiber intakes promote increased bacterial mass but do not alter the microflora composition (Baird et al., 1977; Drasar et al., 1976; Finegold and Sutter, 1978). Colonic bacteria attack fermentable fiber components and degrade at least a portion of them to short-chain fatty acids and gases. The role and importance of these short-chain fatty acids in the colon have not been determined.
Insoluble fibers such as wheat bran decrease intestinal transit time and increase stool weight and volume. Increased stool volume observed after high intakes of dietary fiber is due in part to indigestible remnants of plant cell walls and in part to increased bacterial mass, but certain dietary fibers may also result in increased fecal nitrogen excretion. Most studies have not assessed the source of the increased nitrogen excretion. Stephen and Cummings (1980b) concluded that most of it can be attributed to bacterial mass and to mucosal cell debris and intestinal secretions.
Quantifying total dietary fiber as well as the different fiber components in foods has been extremely difficult, because the complex nature of

We are living in an age where most of the people around us use a mobile phone and even smartphones to communicate on a day to day basis. Such is our interaction with Mobile today that we would be lost without it. We use mobile in our day to day lives to make calls, access Internet, play music, do photo sharing, access Whatsapp, Games and the list goes on.
Hence it is not surprising that businesses today see mobile as one of the favorite medium to reach out to their customers. According to Nasscom, the global enterprise mobility market is estimated to grow at USD 140 billion by the year 2020. Such is the impact of mobile that organizations are increasingly using mobile technologies to not just reach out to consumers but also as part of their organizational processes like accessing travel and expense data, mobile banking, dashboards for different processes on mobile.
In fact some of the companies are also revamping their business processes to be more mobile driven. Adoption of mobile in organizational business processes would mean adopting technologies like cloud, analytics and mobile driven dashboards for faster access of information and faster decision making. Management today is looking at information readily available to take quick decisions, save time, improve efficiency and in turn maximize profits.
As a result it is now common for major enterprise application software companies like SAP, Oracle and Microsoft to launch mobile applications of their enterprise systems like ERP, CRM or HRMS. Managers can access their SAP data over a mobile smartphone or a tablet using mobility solutions. Marketing Managers can see their days schedule, plan meetings, analyze budgets and derive insights using a CRM application built on mobile technologies.
A cloud model or online Software as a Service (SaaS ) model is seen as a common mode of delivery of mobile solutions, making them more affordable and easier to implement in companies. One of the key is to identify a business process in an organization which could be revamped or made much more efficient using mobile technologies e.g the education industry is now delivering course content on mobile as a service thus increasing their customer base and also delivering value to their consumers.
If you ask me I would say mobile is definitely a disruptive technology innovation facing companies today. One must leverage this innovation and put it to the best of use where it can minimize effort, improve processes, create better accessibility, save time and cost and in turn increase profitability. I am certain more and more companies would revamp their business processes to adapt mobile technologies as a part of their changing business model.

30 years ago tonight, Pistons beat Nuggets 186-184
Posted By Terry Frei On December 13, 2013 @ 7:03 pm In Coaches,Former Nuggets,General Nuggets | No Comments
An ESPN feature tonight prompted my memory on this one.
Thirty years ago tonight, before the Detroit Pistons faced the Nuggets at McNichols Sports Arena, I was eating dinner in the press room. I was in my second year in the Nuggets beat after five seasons covering the NHL's Colorado Rockies. This rarely happens today, but Detroit coach Chuck Daly was passing some of the pre-game time sitting in the press room, communing with the lowly members of the Fourth Estate and others.
Nuggets coach Doug Moe, as he often did, just poked his head through the doorway and smiled mischievously, checking out who was — and wasn't — there. It was his way of saying hello.
Daly spotted him and called out, "First one to 140 wins."
Moe laughed and responded, "We won't even make it through the third quarter."
Close enough.
The game lasted through three overtimes. I started and junked about twenty "ledes," or the first few paragraphs of a story, before finally writing about the Pistons pulling out a 186–184 victory. Kiki Vandeweghe had a game-high 51 points, and Denver's Alex English and the Pistons' Isiah Thomas both had 47. The 370 points shattered the league record of 337, set in another triple-overtime game (San Antonio beat Milwaukee 171–166) in 1982.
This often is forgotten, but it was the last Nuggets game worked by strikebreaker referees before the regulars, who finally had settled with the league, went back to work. If the regular referees had worked it, regardless of what had happened, Moe might not have said what he said when it was over, mostly referring to a missed call near the end of the first overtime: "It was a great game, but we got (a bad deal)."
The funny thing was that one of the strikebreakers, Joe Borgia, ended up becoming a longtime NBA referee and later the league's vice president for referee operations.

Governor Huntsman Names Appellate Court Nominee
News ReleaseJune 14, 2005
Salt Lake City, Utah - Utah Governor Jon M. Huntsman, Jr., has appointed Carolyn ("Lyn") Baldwin McHugh to the Utah Court of Appeals. McHugh has practiced since 1983 at Parr Waddoups Brown Gee & Loveless in Salt Lake City and was named partner in 1987. Her practice has focused on commercial litigation and environmental law. "This was a difficult decision because each of the seven finalists is highly qualified," said Governor Huntsman. "Lyn was selected because she has the right combination of intellect, temperament, and the ability to build consensus. I am confident that she will complement and strengthen the existing bench." McHugh is also a dedicated public servant, volunteering her time and expertise to provide legal assistance in domestic and family law cases, and acting as guardian ad litem for children in court cases. She also volunteers for Catholic Community Services, Utah Children and the Legal Aid Society. "I am honored to be asked to serve as an appellate court judge," said McHugh. "If confirmed, I will work tirelessly to render sound judgments based on the law and the facts of each case." The Utah Senate will begin the 60-day confirmation process. If confirmed, McHugh replaces Judge Norman Jackson, who retires this year.

Lately people have been asking us how to determine what size window they need to have to meet code. It's always 5.7 square feet for lower level egress windows. Sometimes that means you need to have egress hardware for casement windows to meet that requirement so double check before your order your window. I think this sizing chart from the City of Bloomington, Minnesota is great and I wanted to share it with you. It really helps determine custom sizing for your egress window so that you can order something that meets the code requirement and your personal taste.

Warm, comfortable, excellently made and made in the U.S. So, back in August, Missy at UnderGround Quilts (UGQ) posted to their Facebook page, a custom top quilt (Flight Jacket) that was ordered by a customer in an abstract of the American flag. Well, I got the idea of ordering a 30° Flight Jacket in the colors of the Texas flag. In emails back and forth with them, we came up with an abstract design.

It's lightweight, stays tucked around the pad, and warm for its weight. I love this quilt/blanket. Most of the summer, I can use it alone or with the Therm-a-Rest sheet set and that's all I need. When it's a little cooler, I either add a very small fleece blanket on the inside or wear my fleece long underwear to sleep in. I love the way it wraps around the bottom of the pad. I'm not one who likes to be mummied into a bag, so this lovely blanket allows me maximum movement but keeps me warm. It probably… Full review
Sierra Designs Backcountry Quilt 800 2-Season
The Sierra Designs Backcountry Quilt 800 2-Season is a great top quilt for hammock camping. When used with a hammock underquilt, you can comfortably hammock camp down into the mid 20s, or using it without the underquilt, use it into evenings into the 60s. The Backcountry Quilt by Sierra Designs is great addition to my ENO DoubleNest and Blaze underquilt. Loved the built-in hood. It is exactly what I wanted. The footbox is comfortable and prevents the quilt from creeping off. With its included stuff… Full review
Therm-a-Rest Alpine Down Blanket
Cost effective, lightweight, ultra-compressible 3-season down blanket. Great for light-weight hikers, campers, backpackers, and hammock hangers. I would recommend this to anyone looking to lighten their load and still be comfortable. I recently acquired the Therm-a-rest Alpine 35 down blanket in regular size from Amazon.com for ~189. I have been looking at top quilts for my hammock for a long time, but nothing was in my price range until I found this. The price was right and I like Therm-a-Rest… Full review

A lightweight, low volume alternative to a sleeping bag for spring thru fall. Lots of options to tailor it to your needs, with personalized service by hikers running a cottage industry. What's a "Backpacking Quilt?" - It's a purpose-built quilt one takes backpacking in lieu of a sleeping bag. Standard sleeping bag design puts down on the bottom where one's weight compresses it, all but eliminating its insulation property. Side sleepers can find themselves waking up to a facefull of nylon… Full review

Hunting Penguins in the Desert: The CES Report
It seems like every time I go to Las Vegas, Bill Gates and Carly Fiorina give keynote addresses. There's still nothing that overlaps in the Microsoft/Linux Venn diagram, so I saw no point in joining the vast herd that always turns out for Bill. But Carly runs a company that's one of the leading lights on the supply side of the Linux product market. The last time I saw her speak was at Comdex 2002, when she minimized her mentions of Linux (just three times in a long talk), most likely because Steve Ballmer sat in the front row and one of her missions was showing off HP's new tablet PCs. I hoped she'd give Linux a longer shrift this time around, but I wasn't holding my breath.
As it happened I missed her talk anyway, for scheduling reasons. It was just as well. She only mentioned Linux once--and gave the most pro-DRM speech I've ever heard from a computer industry CEO. Here's the relevant excerpt from the transcript:
Today, HP is stepping up its commitment to building, acquiring or licensing the best content protection technologies for our devices that will set secure copyrights without sacrificing great consumer experiences. In recent years, we've canceled planned products because we weren't comfortable with the level of protection. We've been active through the Business Software Alliance to educate consumers and businesses that digital piracy is a threat to economic growth. We've worked in cross-industry efforts like the Secure Digital Music Initiative to develop a solution to digital piracy. And in partnership with Microsoft, our Media Center PC responds to a copy control flag embedded in current generation TV signals.
Starting this year, HP will strive to build every one of our consumer devices to respect digital rights. In fact, we are already implementing this commitment in products such as our DVD Movie Writer, which protects digital rights today. If a consumer for example, tries to copy protected VHS tapes, the DVD Movie Writer has HP-developed technology that won't copy it — instead, it displays a message that states, "The source content is copyrighted material. Copying is not permitted." And soon, that same kind of technology will be in every one of our products. HP will also work constructively with technology and content industries to implement Broadcast Flag into some of our products this year.
Later this year, we'll also introduce a new protection technology that encrypts recorded content. Going forward, we will actively promote the interoperability of content protection technologies to ensure that content protection becomes the enabler it was intended to be — not the obstacle to compelling content that many fear. And we will also step up our efforts to work with anti-piracy industry advocates and consumer advocates.
No doubt HP will be running a lot of that DRM on Linux that you won't see and that the company won't promote.
Every technology trade show has its moral geeks, pushing a cause. I saw the EFF at Macworld. Maybe they were at CES, too; I don't know. What I did see, in the press room hallway, was an ancient top-loading Betamax VCR, with piles of literature from the Home Recording Rights Coalition (HRRC). The old box celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Betamax case, which gave viewers the right to record TV transmissions, regardless of content. It was a defeat for the movie industry, which wanted to outlaw VCRs because they allegedly infringed on protected copyrights. The Supreme Court called Hollywood's case an "unprecedented attempt to impose copyright liability upon the distributors of copying equipment". It also would have prevented most of the future business for Hollywood that the VCR opened up.
Since then, Hollywood has waged a vicious battle to burn supply-controlled DRM software and firmware into everything that might conceivably circumvent their copyright: audio and video playback, Internet radio stations, MP3 players, DTV receivers and personal computers. Chief among its successes is the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which serves to legitimize, among other things, strangling the infant Internet radio business while it was still in the cradle (and where today its damaged form still gasps for air).
The HRRC supports HR 107, which would counteract the anti-circumvention clauses in the DMCA, among other things.
Another group is siding with the computer industry (that's us) against those who would protect copyright at all other costs. Surprise: it's the Consumer Electronics Association, which puts on CES. Here's what the CES says about home recording rights:
First Amendment and fair use rights must be safeguarded to preserve consumers' freedoms, the creative spirit and advancement in the digital age. Consumer electronics products are a vital link allowing the world's citizens access to information, education and entertainment. Increased access to this technology will shrink the digital divide and produce a renaissance in arts, science, music, academics and creativity across the entire world. Copyright owners must resist the temptation to restrict technology. If successful, restrictions will deprive the public of equal and fair access to information, entertainment and education.
They also add,
On the regulatory front, SEA sent comments the FCC on broadcast flag proceeding urging for the protection of home recording rights. In the 108th Congress, we will actively support the introduction of the legislation that reaffirms consumers' home recording rights and actively oppose legislation that threatens such rights and impose burdensome technology mandates.
This is consistent with the same creative energies that brought Linux into the world and spread it everywhere. If SEA members are what they eat, it should be good news that they're eating a lot of Linux.
Even if we can't see it.

Usually I do not write on blogs, but I would like to say that this article really convinced me to do so! Congratulations, very nice post. muscle building supplements
"So, it's clear that Linux is fast becoming a pure infrastructural commodity--like the air we breathe. Why promote what's best taken for granted? Thus, take Linux's decreasing visibility as the inverse of its ubiquity"
Um, how about it's a sign of possibly rampant GPL violations? Or maybe still Fear of Microsoft? Don't say the L-word too loud! And what about us poor schmuck end users, who just want this ***** to frikken WORK on Linux??
Don't send Doc to any more shows, send someone who will ask hard questions, and come back with some solid information.
Nice to be visiting your blog again, it has been months for me. Well this article that i've been waited for so long. I need this article to complete my assignment in the college, and it has same topic with your article. Thanks, great share. Data rescue
Re: Hunting Penguins in the Desert: The CES Report
Nobody at either booth knew if Linux was involved in their systems; but at trade shows like this one, what sells isn't tech. It's girls. XM drew a long line of fans looking for autographs from Juli and Tiffany, the "seductive hosts" of Playboy's Night Calls show.
According to netcraft Playboy use Solaris.
Draw your own conclusions.
Re: Hunting Penguins in the Desert: The CES Report
Hi this is HanishKVC here.
I want to inform u that u might have missed some linux based products at CES.
As I work for a company which makes Digital Media product designs and also act as ODM from India called Fedtec. We were part of the TI booth at CES. We had on display WORKING CONCEPT product of Digital Video Recorder and Multimedia Jukebox based on TI's DM270 chip on display, which was running our port of uclinux for this dual core ASIC consisting of ARM and DSP with some programmable accelerators for video processing. These products support mpeg4 encode/decode, mp3 enc/playback, Divx support, mjpeg, jpeg support (all these use DSP and Accelorators). Also gif is supported but this uses ARM only.
We support multiple OSs like vxworks, uitron, linux, ucos, stlite, nucleus etc in our products. However at the booth we had 2 products running uclinux and one running uitron.
In general we get many requests from product companies asking for product designs based on linux.
Re: Hunting Penguins in the Desert: The CES Report
While this is interesting in the identification of the new "cool" stuff, the lack of Linux mentions is not newsworthy. For any infrastructure to be successful, it must be omnipresent, or as mentioned in another comment, kind of like power cords.
Years ago, I made a statement that "Linux won't be important until no one cares." (as an example : (http://www.linuxjournal.com//article.php?thold=-1&mode=flat&order=0&sid=...) ).
Now that we can simpy accept Linux, we can move on to the new battle for the last mile minds, the home user, the business desktop, the average game player.
Many of them don't mention Linux for the same reason...
...that they don't mention having power cords. It's kind of taken for granted.
But for the brouhaha it would cause, this almost makes one long for an avertising clause in Linux's licence. Perhaps for the next show we can print some "built on Linux" stickers to tag participants' banners with.
Re: Hunting Penguins in the Desert: The CES Report
If linux is used everywhere in embedded applications, I bet
the amount of GPL violations is staggering.
Will the GPL be powerless in the future, just because
of the sheer amount of violations?

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Want to see what this recipe costs at different supermarkets? Compare in one place here:
- Slice enough parsnips thinly lengthways to cover the surface of a small ovenproof dish, then slice the rest thinly into rounds. Combine the milk, cream, stock, mustard and half the cheese in a large, lidded saucepan and bring to the boil. Add a good grating of nutmeg and some seasoning – the sweet parsnips can take a bit of salt – then tip in the parsnips. When the cream is simmering again, cover and cook for 6 mins.
- Using tongs, fish out the long slices of parsnip and set aside. Tip the rest into your dish, then arrange the long slices over the top. Scatter with the rest of the cheese and another grating of nutmeg. Can be chilled for up to 24 hrs.
- To serve, heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4 and bake for 1 hr, then turn up to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 and brown for 15 mins more – you can do this while the pie is resting.

Comments, questions and tips
This was excellent. Me and my OH loved it. I did think there was too much liquid at first but it was soon soaked up. I actually added carrots and potatoes to this so it was an all round root veg side dish. I also par-boiled the veg first just for a few mins to make sure it was all tender. Will definately be making it again and again and again!
Made this for a dinner party recently, very easy to make, can be made in advance and it was lovely. Even people who don't normally eat parsnips liked it. I am doing it again for Christmas (plus some roast ones for traditionalists) for a different set of people so will see if its as popular as the first time.

Wash your hands first. Take off the tampon's plastic wrap and throw it away, but don't flush it. Check the applicator to make sure the string is firmly attached by giving it a little tug.
Push gently on the plunger and make sure the tampon is positioned snugly against the applicator petals. To put in the tampon, find a comfortable position either sitting (with your knees apart) or standing with one foot elevated. Put the applicator tip into the opening of your vagina and gently glide it toward your lower back. Keep easing the applicator in until you're inserted as far as the ring of the outer insertion tube. Continue holding the applicator, and then push the inner tube into the outer tube. When the rings of the applicator are together, the tampon is in correctly. Gently remove both tubes, making sure the string is outside of your body. Do not flush. To remove the tampon, relax and pull on the string at the same angle as the tampon was inserted. Change your tampon every 4 to 8 hours, including overnight. Remove each tampon before putting in a new one. Remember to remove the last tampon at the end of your period. If you have trouble getting the tampon out, see your doctor or clinic for help. These absorbency ranges and their corresponding terms are required to be used by all tampon manufacturers to indicate the amount of fluid absorbed using a standard laboratory test. Use the standardized absorbency ranges and terms to make comparisons between tampons of all manufacturers. choose the minimum absorbency necessary to control your menstrual flow in order to reduce the risk of contracting TSS. Super plus absorbency: 12-15 grams..

ATTENTION: Tampons are associated with Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). TSS is a rare but serious disease that may cause death. Sudden fever (usually 102°F or more), vomiting, diarrhea, fainting or near fainting when standing up, dizziness, or a rash that looks like sunburn can all be warning signs of a rare but serious illness, Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). This illness can cause death. Should these symptoms occur, discontinue use and consult a physician immediately. You should also consult a physician before using tampons if you have had TSS warning signs in the past. Women using tampons during their menstrual period are susceptible to the risk of contracting TSS. The reported risk of TSS is higher among teenage girls and women under 30 years of age, but it can occur at any age. The incidence of TSS is estimated to be 1 to 17 per 100,000 menstruating women and girls per year. Studies indicate that higher absorbency tampons increase the risk of contracting TSS. The chart on this package indicated the appropriate product for your different needs. You may avoid the risk of getting tampon-associated TSS by not using tampons, and reduce the risk by alternating tampon use with the use of pads or pantiliners during your menstrual period. please consult a physician if you have any further questions.
Absorbent Material Compromised of: Cotton and Rayon , Polypropylene Cover , Rayon , Polyester or Cotton String

I had the strangest dream last night. My mom and I had gone back in time to 1880's Russia, and my worst fear was true-there was censorship. We went to a small bookstore in a train station, and in vain I looked for books, yet all were horrible, abridged, and sterile. Mainly they were old and worn children's picture books. After plundering what little I could find, we left for outside, and a strange idea occured to me. "Dostoevsky lived then, he read books that were banned, let's find him!" So, we went to an opera house to find Dostoevsky (don't ask me why). We went into a theater, much like a modern theater in fact, and the lights dimmed, and suddenly the lights dimmed, and everyone started dancing. Now, this is the part that begins to get strange.
Often in my dreams, I'll be two people at once, half a person, one person, or no person, and this changes a lot throughout the dream. Now, all of a sudden I was a guy dancing with this girl, and all of a sudden I started chocking. And then I collapsed and everyone thought I was dead, but I really wasn't. So, this reocurring character I have, my muse, comes up and recusitates me (I spelled that wrong, didn't I?). So, then I wake up and proceed to just barf my guts out, quite unpleasent because in the dream I could taste it. Then he makes the sign of the cross on my forehead, like priests do when they baptize you, and said a prayer over me in some weird language. Of course, everyone was clapping their hands and very excited that I lived.
Then the setting changed, and I was alone with my muse (I was still the same guy, though) and I was lying on this couch, very tired. Because I had almost died. But then my muse comes up to me, and says:
"Touching your skin was like touching fire."
...Then this is where my dream goes into X rating territory.
God, my dreams are weird.
My granddad came over this Thanksgiving (which was spent with a lot of church people), and I came out to him. He of course didn't care in the least, and said this didn't change anything and he'd love me always. I knew he would though, he's a very open minded kind of guy. It was very funny though how I came out. We were sitting on the couch with my sister and he said, "So, you've got a boyfriend yet?" and I started giggling and he said, "What, are you after one of those Catholic school girls?" And then my laughter redoubled. So, I had to tell him then and there!
We always have a nice time with each other though-he's my favourite granddad^-^.
I've also started up an experiment in blogging: The State I Am In. In it, I've created an entirely fictional personality called Andrew Loyd. It's very funny. Hopefully people like it.
(LOL, I already got a poor Inkblot going "What is this?")
Also, I've updated my screenplay with about five or six pages of new stuff: Screenplay. Thanks to everyone who's commented so far. I'm also working on this really difficult long scene right now, so hopefully I'll get that done soon.
Anyways, this has been a Sam ramble. Au revoir!
I get it now.... that's bloody brilliant! I might try it if you don't mind.
Thanks! And go ahead, I don't mind:)
