SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Google will take over a troubled municipal fiber-optic system and make Provo, Utah, the third city to get its high-speed Internet service via fiber-optic cables, the company announced Wednesday.
Google Fiber was rolled out in Kansas City, Mo., last year. The Mountain View, Calif., company announced earlier this month it will make Austin, Texas, the second city to get ultra-fast Internet service.
The Provo deal is the first time Google plans to acquire an existing fiber-optic system. The city of 115,000 created the fiber-optic network, iProvo, in 2004. It planned to operate the system itself for Internet, television and phone service but found the operation too daunting and turned it over to a succession of private partners that have struggled to break even.
A Google official said the company will offer basic Internet service at no charge to Provo residents, who can opt to pay for service 100 times faster than the competition. The system also can provide cable or satellite TV providers.
"Once connected, Provo will be one of the first cities in the world where access to broadband will flow like water or electricity," Kevin Lo, general manager of Google Fiber, said Wednesday.
The rollout is an expensive undertaking and gamble for Google, which hopes it will drive innovation and pressure phone and cable companies to improve their networks. Google benefits when people spend more time online.
Provo officials said Google will charge customers a $30 activation fee. The free service provides speeds of 5 megabits per second. Google didn't say how much it planned to charge for faster service, but it would hook up schools, hospitals and libraries to the faster service at no charge.
In Kansas City, Google charges customers $70 a month for a gigabit connection. For another $50, customers there can also receive a cable TV-like service that offers a channel line-up featuring mainstays such as ESPN, Nickelodeon, FOX News and MTV.
Some popular channels remain unavailable on Google Fiber, including HBO and AMC.
Google Inc. said more than 1,100 cities applied for its services starting in 2010, and some used gimmicks or elaborate videos in hopes of outshining the competition. Topeka, Kan., even informally renamed itself to "Google, Kansas."
Kansas City wound up prevailing, and Google began signing up residents there last year. By the end of 2013, Google expects that 180 neighborhoods that were selected for service based on demand will be completed.
The $70 fee in Kansas City is more than what cable or phone companies charge for basic Internet service, but the service is also much faster. Gigabit speeds, or 1,000 megabits per second, are generally unavailable from other companies. One exception is the city-owned electric utility in Chattanooga, Tenn., which has pulled its own fiber and sells gigabit service for $350 per month.
Provo, about 45 miles south of Salt Lake City, is home to Brigham Young University, which is operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and is where LDS missionaries are trained for service.

Hello Summoners! Were aware there has been some confusion about the Ranked Teams rating system, especially surrounding the relationship between a teams rating and how many games that team has played. Wed like to take a moment to provide a brief overview of the system, but first want to explain the goals of the feature.
Thraw Omthar
What is up with some teams getting to 1400+ elo with 3 wins and 3 losses while others are barely 1300 with 10+ wins, seems very fair.

old elo system was better :x
Junior Member
that means that an 1500 elo player without trying will have 1600 rating in team so thats unfair good job riot
Kaling of Titans
This doesn't explain why my team went against even-ish elo team for our first math, won it, then got matched up with a team full of 1600-1700 personal elo each team, lost it. then get matched up with a team full of sub-800's in personal elo, won it,t then get matched up with 1500-1700 personal elo team, then lost it, and once again got paired off with sub 800 team.
Hi. I have a couple of questions: What happens if a new member joins a non-provisional team? Does his/her hidden Elo affect the team's? You said in the NA. forums "average teams *will* trend towards a 1200 rating over time. They just don't start that way." This is confusing because I just checked the EUNE TT rankings and only ~15% of the teams were above 1200 Elo, how can this be?
Toxic Chaos
Dear riot the lvl of the players that play the game is lowest that ever. I remember when i joined the game there was a nice lvl of difficulty now a days its redicoulus.I will go back at playing dota for sure at least there is a better rating system there. At lol when i lost my banner from 2 disconnects i was lossing all the way after that. its impossible to go back to banner if u lose it. its not possible for someone with over 300 games to play with 1200 rating because he have 150 win 150 lose because the only reason he is there ots bacause some1 will feed or someone will leave. I think u should reconsider the rating system! Or at least make a tool with Riot points that will send our ranked status at 0 - 0 unranked ! think how many ppl will buy that ! For exmple i was 1400 rating too soon and i got down fast coz i was playing with unranked gamers ! Now i stuck at 1180 rating and i am w8ing for the season to end and start from unranked again because u cant go to higher ratings atm .
Hello, i would like to tell you an idea i got and i think it will help all the league of legends players and riot as well ! As we all know with the rating system that we have got once you lose your Banner and 2-3 games its impossible to go higher, so most gamers stop playing ranked games and they are waiting for the season to end so they can start unranked again. Here is my thought : why dont riot make a tool that can make your ranked status 0 win- 0 lose and u will get again unranked so all player will have more chances to get better rating and more chances generaly! No matter how u look at it this will be good for riot as well because there are so many unskilled players that they want more chances to get rating so this way riot get the money with riot points for the restart rating and players get the second chance! Anyway if the player is not good he will just get low rating again but he may get more restart rating u know how it goes! Respond this is a realy good idea ! thanks for your time i hope we will see some tool like that.

Profilins are thought to play a central role in the regulation of de novo actin assembly by preventing spontaneous actin polymerization through the binding of actin monomers, and the adding of monomeric actin to the barbed actin-filament ends. Other cellular functions of profilin in membrane trafficking and lipid based signaling are also likely. Binding of profilins to signaling molecules such as Arp2/3 complex, Mena, VASP, N-WASP, dynamin I, and others, further implicates profilin and actin as regulators of diverse motile activities. In mouse, two profilins are expressed from two distinct genes. Profilin I is expressed at high levels in all tissues and throughout development, whereas profilin II is expressed in neuronal cells. To examine the function of profilin I in vivo, we generated a null profilin I (pfn1(ko)) allele in mice. Homozygous pfn1(ko/ko) mice are not viable. Pfn1(ko/ko) embryos died as early as the two-cell stage, and no pfn1(ko/ko) blastocysts were detectable. Adult pfn1(ko/wt) mice show a 50% reduction in profilin I expression with no apparent impairment of cell function. However, pfn1(ko/wt) embryos have reduced survival during embryogenesis compared with wild type. Although weakly expressed in early embryos, profilin II cannot compensate for lack of profilin I. Our results indicate that mouse profilin I is an essential protein that has dosage-dependent effects on cell division and survival during embryogenesis.

I have a weird problem with my '54 plate Focus Ghia (New shape). The number plate light come on with the lights on dipped beam but do not come on with the switch on side lights. Also if I set them Auto they come on when it is dark but unfortunately also turns the dash board lights off. The lights on warning buzzer also only seems to work when it wants to. I have taken it to the Ford dealer and they have diagnosed a faulty GEM module. Which they can't get hold of for 2 weeks apparently.
Any ideas? It's failed the MOT due to the number plate light fault.


text: Information on range gas consumption in residences is important for (1)predicting and managing short-term and long-term changes in demand for natural gas, and (2) modeling indoor air quality (IAQ) impacts of combustion products such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide. This research analyzed data from a Residential Load Study conducted by the Northern Illinois Gas Company (NIGAS) between 1990 and 1992. Data for both the range top and oven were examined in order to quantify patterns of range gas consumption and the relationship of consumption rates to various factors including time of day, time of year, presence of pilot lights, and demographic characteristics. Based on daily meter readings, the average daily fuel consumption for gas ranges is 9.3 cubic feet. If pilot light consumption is excluded, the average daily consumption is 6.4 cubic feet. Weekly gas consumption exhibits a distinct sinusoidal pattern throughout the year, peaking in December/January. Additional analysis using the data from the NIGAS study is recommended.

Delightful Barbershop Quartet Performs on Delayed Flight

The Kansas City Chiefs certainly have their fans abuzz with a 6-0 record. This start to their season prompted Kansas City Chiefs fans to go for the loudest crowd record that the Seattle Seahawks fans obtained earlier this season. It seems most people were paying attention to this record, including ESPN and the major networks. They were able to break the record last Sunday (Oct. 13), but if you didn't watch the pregame or weren't at the stadium, you may not have seen the world other record broken at the game.
'I Will Always Love You' isn't an easy song to sing. That's why the late Whitney Houston's flawless take on the Dolly Parton-penned tune became one of the biggest hits in music history.

Gold Nuggets repeat as GCAC Tournament champion March 5, 2011 Box score Facebook photos JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Keldra Hall scored 14 points and Christina Warren 13 Saturday to lead Xavier University of Louisiana to a 71-44 women's basketball victory over Tougaloo in the championship game of the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Tournament. The Gold Nuggets (26-6), ranked 20th in NAIA Division I, won the tournament for the second straight year and the 12th time overall to extend their GCAC record. Xavier will receive the GCAC's automatic bid to the NAIA Division I National Championship at Jackson, Tenn., and play a first-round game March 16 or 17. Pairings and game times will be announced Wednesday. Hall, selected the tournament's most valuable player, and Warren combined for 20 points in leading Xavier to a 40-17 advantage by halftime. The Nuggets shot 63 percent from the floor in the first half and finished at 54.7 percent, their second-best accuracy of the season. No one else had more than seven points for the Nuggets — Brandi Young and freshmen Paige Gauthier and Carmen Holcombe scored seven apiece — but all 13 players scored. "I thought our depth wore (Tougaloo) down," said XU Coach Bo Browder, whose teams have won five GCAC tourneys in his 12 seasons. "I said early in the season that we'd be playing our best basketball at the end of the season, and we are." Xavier matched a tournament record for the widest winning margin in the championship round. Mobile defeated Louisiana College 79-52 in 1993. Victoria Jones led Tougaloo (12-17) with 14 points and 11 rebounds — her 10th consecutive double-double and third of the tournament — and Portia Craft scored 10. The Lady Bulldogs shot 26.3 percent from the floor, and it was the second straight day that Xavier limited an opponent to less than 30 percent. Joining Hall on the six-player all-tournament team were Young and teammate Jazmoné Kelly, Tougaloo's Jones, Ebony Presha of Edward Waters and Ariel Mitchell of Dillard. "This is the first time I've won a championship on any level," said Hall, a junior center from Dallas who has played basketball for 10 years. "My first MVP too. I was surprised to win MVP. I thought Christina would win it." Warren, the GCAC Player of the Year, made amends for a subpar performance in Friday's semifinals — five points for the game and two quick fouls that sent her to the bench — by hitting three consecutive 3-pointers in the first four minutes. "I had my mind set today to stay out of foul trouble and just shoot the ball and play harder on defense," Warren said. Defensively it was more of the same for the Nuggets, who extended their school record by allowing less than 50 points for the 18th time this season. The previous mark was 15, a record matched last season. "We've had major trials and tribulations within the past 12 months of the program." Browder said. "Losing my father (in April), losing two all-conference players who could've been here today, including one who would've been an All-American. People think winning is easy. But it never is when you bring a group of young people together to win a championship."
The Xavier Gold Rush and Gold Nuggets compete in Division I of the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) as a member of the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference (GCAC). Xavier fields men's teams in basketball, cross country and tennis and women's teams in basketball, cross country, tennis and volleyball.

Courtney started skiing in her senior year at John Bapst Memorial High School after her track coach, Jeff Libby the nordic ski coach at Bapst, suggested she should try it out. The sport provides her with an excellent opportunity to get a break from what would otherwise be three consecutive seasons of heavy impact from running. She competed for the Maine State team at Easterns, and prefers longer classic races to shorter skate competitions. This will be Courtney's first year competing with the Bowdoin Nordic team. She taught Alpine skiing in high school and played tennis and soccer leading in to her career as a runner and skier. She runs cross country in the fall and outdoor track in the spring. |

Mdm2 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that promotes its own ubiquitination and also ubiquitination of the p53 tumour suppressor. In a bacterial two-hybrid screen, using Mdm2 as bait, we identified an Mdm2-interacting peptide that bears sequence similarity to the deubiquitinating enzyme USP2a. We have established that full-length USP2a associates with Mdm2 in cells where it can deubiquitinate Mdm2 while demonstrating no deubiquitinating activity towards p53. Ectopic expression of USP2a causes accumulation of Mdm2 in a dose-dependent manner and consequently promotes Mdm2-mediated p53 degradation. This differs from the behaviour of HAUSP, which deubiquitinates p53 in addition to Mdm2 and thus protects p53 from Mdm2-mediated degradation. We further demonstrate that suppression of endogenous USP2a destabilises Mdm2 and causes accumulation of p53 protein and activation of p53. Our data identify the deubiquitinating enzyme USP2a as a novel regulator of the p53 pathway that acts through its ability to selectively target Mdm2.

Expertly executed by Kanye West and Jay-Z, with several fantastic additional performances by Frank Ocean and Beyonce.This album is most definitely one of the greatest albums ever made. The price is shockingly low, which gives you even less of a reason to miss out on tasting musical perfection, created by none other than the giants of the music industry, Jay-Z and Kanye West.

There are some pretty impressive gourmet restaurants out there. At times, the food may be debatable, but the presentation is always impeccable. Great chefs know that a part of the culinary experience lies in the table service. You just don't serve a gourmet meal on disposable plates. And, so it is with fine espresso. But, it's not solely aesthetics; the cup you're extracting into could have a tangible impact on your espresso. Everything from the shape, size and material of a cup should be taken into account. Though there is no "standard" shape for an espresso cup, most of them tend have to a softly rounded form that is narrow at the bottom and gets progressively wider at the rim. The wider opening at the top is said to enhance crema presentation, while narrow bottom encourages espresso flavor concentration. The shape also allows to the cup to retain heat evenly so that you don't get hot and cold spots within your beverage. The size of the cup is also critical. A widely respected espresso authority, the World Barista Championship (WBC), states in its Rules and Regulations that espresso must be served in two- to three-ounce (60-90ml) cups with handles. The Gaggia Logo, Rancilio Logo, Pasquini Logo, Illy Almodovar and Julian Schnabel espresso cups are all solid choices that fall within WBC guidelines. Espresso cups are made tiny for a reason. The compact size of the espresso cup is designed to promote heat retention by reducing the surface area exposed to the air. Also, a single shot of espresso is only 1-1.5 fl.oz, while a double shot barely tips the scale at 2-2.5 fl.oz, so the espresso would be lost in a large cup. A 2-ounce cup is perfect for a single shot; if you're brewing a double go for a 3-ounce demitasse. Espresso-machine manufacturers go through great lengths to ensure heat stability during the brewing process, but once the espresso is extracted, it's up to the cup to prevent heat loss. We always advocate preheating your cups, but you can also guard against premature cooling by paying close attention to the material of your espresso cup. Most demitasses are made of porcelain, as it is an excellent insulator. Though, you should keep in mind that there are different grades of porcelain. Porcelain created using high firing temps is tougher and more durable; most connoisseurs prefer thick porcelain espresso cups like the Bodum Pavina Grip Porcelain, Francis Reptilia or Gaggia Platinum cups. Also particularly adept at heat preservation are double-walled cups. The contents stay hot while the exterior of the cups remain cool to the touch; if this is appealing to you, check out the Bodum Pavina, Assam or Canteen Glass cups. Of course, glass cups also have the added advantage of allowing you to see and appreciate your espresso. Next time you're pulling a shot, take a moment to consider the cup! Good espresso deserves to be enjoyed from great cups.
Back to TopLight, elegant, and strong, these cups can be anywhere your adventures take you. Sold in sets of two and made from a transparent polycarbonate, these espresso cups offer fantastic thermal insulation and 1.69 oz holding capacity. They are dishwasher safe, but are not microwave-safe.

Coffee and Espresso
My mantra should be "Quality coffee: anywhere, anytime". I love the convenience of using the Handpresso Wild E.S.E., with a multitude of pods ranging from Lavazza and Gaggia to Illy and Aloha Island, but I have just gotten the first opportunity to try Handpresso's Wild Dome Pod model and have to say that I am now truly in awe of Handpresso's products and engineering. I really like the freedom that I have with my Wild E.S.E., but the idea that I not only have that freedom, but also the ability to use ground coffee is even better. I can choose the origin, grind and the roast of the coffee that I am brewing in the Handpresso Wild Dome Pod, and that I can share my favorite coffees, like Whole Latte Love Monaco with my friends while we are out and about, is the ultimate. Also, being a sailor, an essential piece of gear on the boat is my Handpresso Outdoor Set, which is made of thermo-formed EVA (Extreme Vibration Attenuation) foam reinforced fabric, and includes the Handpresso Wild, four unbreakable Cups, a stainless steel thermo-insulated flask and two small napkins. Having the hot water from the flask to make a shot of espresso is so convenient, but it also allows me to take that shot of espresso, add more hot water and turn it into an Americano. Better yet, if its hot out, pack ice and milk in the cooler (another essential piece of sailing gear) and add a Bonjour Primo Latte Frother to the mix and its iced cappuccinos for everyone! Here is the bottom line, whether you are on the water, camping with the family, at the stadium, or on a picnic, Handpresso can be right there with you to fulfill your caffeine needs.

avast antivirusMickeyj4j - January 21, 2012 - 12:50am
I see many old posts asking why there is no avast antivirus. I know u3 has avast. i also know that avast is not open source so did not originally fit the criteria for a portable apps. but i do believe that you have open things up for other free software to be used. So if avast is now doable i do wonder why it has not been done. if it has great can you point to it as i could not find cheers. ( categories: )
not so simplethe u3 (long dead system) used to have avast, which was payware and they tried to attach it to the particular stick it was licensed on. Otherwise, avast has to give permission to repackage it, it is not just that one can pick their free version and can do what ever with it. Or they could package it themselves if interested. In windows, if you have the basic free version, you are potential customer for paid version. Having free version on stick, which can not become anything more then it is already, makes no potential business. There is clamwin as antivirus here, works, does what it supposed to do, avast can not do any more in that. Otto Sykora Portable Avast indeed wouldPortable Avast indeed would be a nice app to have. try to askavast if they agree that someone would create portable version of their software. If answer positive, someone will certainly look into it. Otto Sykora |

There was passion.
There was heartache.
There was drive, character, and….wait.
Wait just a minute, are we talking about Florida right now?
Because Zoe and I have been there. We have seen it with our eyes. The most majestic thing we saw there was the shelled out car in the parking lot of the only crack den that would accept peanuts to let us stay there:
This is the Florida we know and thus abstain from.
But sometimes even shitstorms like Florida have a momentary break in the weather, and tonight the forecast made you feel like getting drunk on your patio. If only it weren't covered in that standard 4 inches of Pittsburgh ice, which, like Pittsburgh sports teams, JUST WON'T QUIT.
Also, it was 80 degrees there.
That is what you call injustice.
Anyway, if anyone ever doubted that a rose could grow through the cracks in the pavement of despair, those haters can see themselves to the exit. Something was alive tonight in Florida that wasn't assisted by life support.
Undeniably, we get misty eyed when grown men get sentimental.
That's why we cry so much at hockey – it's a pretty gay sport. In the best of ways.
So when we heard that the team had banned together to wear homemade "C"s on their jerseys during the gameday skate in some sort of display of solidarity for their fallen leader, we had to duck out of work for just a moment to check that our eyeliner wasn't running.
While this is wonderful and we love that our team stands by their man, it's still a little disheartening that we are treating him like a cancer patient. But it's always nice to see the man skate.
Don't get us wrong. We here at PH know that Sid will get better.
No one likes to talk about it these days, but this is our official stance:
If Sidney Crosby was told that he had no shot at getting better, that he would die if he played hockey again, we believe that he would fake diminishing symptoms, put on his skates, and play hockey until he died on the ice.
Because he's still trying to recover, there's hope.
Get worried when he has a suspiciously sudden return.
If you ever feel like wallowing, just for a second, we understand the impulse.
Watch old Sid commercials.
Most of all, this one, which was tragic to begin with, but now takes on a whole new level of horrible depressing angst. When times get rough, take five minutes to feel sorry for yourself.
And then remember that you are a Pittsburgh Penguins fan and that you are probably making us lose with your negative attitude.
Get your mind right.
Before things get too filled with love and affection, Asham wants to remind our brethren in the south that under no circumstances may you spell your name "Krystopher" unless – and this is really contingent on his mood – it is fashion week and you have just made a splash with your pastel collection of faux fur bikinis.
Clemmensen's posts are gettin' slammed more than your mom on coupon circulars day.
Between Neal and Kunitz (a place no PH staff member would turn down) those posts made Clemmensen look irrelevant – making him wonder what life would be like if only he were born of aluminum and steel.
Steve Sullivan, uncle to the same Ann Sullivan who taught Helen Keller to communicate (feel free to fact check us there, but don't be surprised when we're out of town when the results come in), takes a pass from Cookie and guides it into the wide open space in front of him.
Teach them to believe in their own abilities, Steve.
It runs in the family.
We tend not to get political here on PH, because mostly we root for no one in the realm of politics. When we realize that the free world is being controlled by a bunch of old men who are so out of touch with the world that WE live in that they probably would say shit like "Poke-e-man" to our friends if we were still in the fifth grade, we just kind of laugh.
We basically can't trouble ourselves with it.
HOWEVER sometimes something comes out of this hailstorm of dildoes that is truly hilarious, such as this amazing quote from Newt Gingrich. It makes no sense that a grown man said these things unless he was Evgeni Malkin, so we're just going to go ahead and steal these words from Newt and make them come out of the mouth of someone less evil and more adorable.
Geno finds his cookie.
(Press failed tonight, ignore event attachment to photos.)
The Pens are up 2-1 and it finally feels like the universe is righting itself.
You actually can fact check us on all details for this one.
Even we can't make this shit up.
Let's be clear: Girls who love Brooks Orpik are the types of girls who end up writing love letters to the criminally insane in federal prison. Including ourselves.
So any time he so much as breathes upon the puck within viewing distance of the goal, we all start squirming in our chairs.
Alas, he almost always does his job and passes to someone with actual scoring ability, which makes us love him even more.
He passes it to TK in this particular situation, and TK proceeds to walk it to the doorstep and kiss it goodnight.
TK not pictured because he was off having a chat with the puck's father.
(Is it just me or does this photo look like claymation? Press, this would be the newest and most interesting way of compensating for your total lack of coverage in most games. Then again, maybe it is getting too late.)
We're going to give the Panthers goal the exact amount of attention it deserves and move right along to the goal that James Neal scored when he could have bitched out and passed to Malks. Not that passing to Malks is a bad move, per say, but we're glad Mr. Neal knew that he could do it. Because he did.
So here is where we normally do Alt Stars and an individual award, but it is late, and I, MUCH LIKE SIDNEY CROSBY, have recently obtained a concussion. I did it only to show solidarity. Also I just tried to categorize this post as October 2010 for reasons I cannot explain. So let's all just hit the hay and thank the stars above that we pulled out of this one with a good win, and hope that no one caught one of those Florida diseases that we hear so much about.

As I have mentioned this summer Katie is living here at home while attending Missouri State University for her Junior Year while obtaining her Ag Education degree to become a High School Ag Teacher.
Her Intro to Ag class requires them to create a bulletin board as though they would be doing for their class-
So I taught her to use my Silhouette Cameo, my Cricut and she chose all Stampin Up Cardstocks and adhesives for her project.
I think it turned out really great!
The edges of all the leaves are sponged with a coordinating ink
Designing/sizing the tractor on the SilhouetteCutting
Ta dah!
Laying it on the floor to see how its going to look..................
Flouris elements added that special touch-
The Finished bulletin board! The lettering was done on the cricut and the rest was created using the Silhouette Cameo and all are using Stampin Up cardstocks and adhesives.
It's so fun to have the resources, knowledge and ability to help/teach my daughter how to use my craft supplies to create something so cute!

7 Vegan Recipes That Change Everything
by Merritt Watts in Healthy Recipes, May 12, 2014
No meat, no cheese — no problem! Whether you're aiming to eat a little bit cleaner or just want to be more like Beyoncé (who completed a 22-day vegan challenge last year), there's really no wrong reason to add these vegan recipes to your repertoire.
Vegan Lentil Burgers (above)
Admit it: You're pretty sure even the most serious vegans miss burgers from time to time. These hearty lentil burgers are packed with other wholesome ingredients, like spinach and walnuts, and get their flavor from a punchy trio of garlic, black pepper and cumin that will make you forget all about their beefy brethren.
Vegan Tofu and Spinach Scramble
For those in the "Vegan Before Six" club, we'd like to introduce you to your new egg-breakfast substitute. The tofu is spiced up with turmeric, pepper and cayenne; it may actually be better than your standard scramble.
Vegan Cream of Broccoli Soup
Yep, there's a vegan version of everything, even dishes that have "cream" right there in the name. The secret ingredients in this soup? A single Yukon gold potato that adds rich, smooth texture and nutritional yeast for nutty, cheese-like flavor.
Vegan Lemon Fettuccine Alfredo
This dish is this light, bright California cousin of the classically comforting fettuccine Alfredo. Blended almonds make the sauce as rich and "creamy" as the traditional version, but lemon zest and fresh parsley give it a hint of surprisingly sunny flavor.
Vegan Banana Bread
Bananas are already pros at binding and moistening baked goods, so baking up an egg-less and dairy-free version of banana bread won't be much of a challenge. Toast and slather with peanut or almond butter for a snack with staying power.
Vegan Blueberry Muffins
We're pretty sure a warm, freshly baked blueberry muffin can make anything better. This vegan version, made with soy yogurt, almond milk and applesauce, is a true crowd-pleaser that will do the trick on any occasion.
Vegan Basil Pesto
What's often missing in vegan food — rich, smoky depth of flavor — can be found in spades in this bright green pesto. Here, basil is blended with smoked almonds, roasted pistachios and green tea to create the perfect puree to toss with pasta or spread on crostini.
Merritt Watts is a writer and eater in San Francisco, where strawberries are almost always in season.

Innovative Mastermind Steve Jobs Steps Down as Apple CEO!
August 26, 2011 in Main Blog, Slideshow
Steve Jobs has now stepped down as CEO of Apple Computers. He filed his letter of resignation (through email) stating that he cannot fulfill his full-time duties as CEO, but would still like to serve as Chairman of the Board, Director and Apple employee. Though this is tragic news for Apple consumers and share holders, it could be much worse if he actually decided to leave Apple infinitely. He also suggested in this email to Apple that Tim Cook (current COO of Apple) should take over his position As CEO.
Some might ask, why is the stepping down of Steve Jobs so important? What made him so great? These questions can easily be explained from his history, so here is a brief overview of Mr. Jobs' effect on apple and the rest of the computer industry.
As a young, college drop-out entrepreneur, Steve and his very close friend (and partner in business) Steve Wozniak started out working in Mr. Jobs' parents garage. From the Apple 1 that Steve Wozniak hand made to the Apple 2 that received national attention, the Steve's worked together and built the foundation of the "all-in-one" Personal Computer and began the revolution. Thus Apple was born.
The beginning though, was not all smooth sailing for Steve Jobs. Shortly after Apple introduced the Macintosh computer, Apple Fired Steve Jobs, mainly because they felt he was too young and too inexperienced to run such a company of Apple's caliber. Looking back, Steve Job's says that it was probably one of the best things to happen to him (Being fired from Apple). He stated at his Stanford Commencement Address that being fired put things in perspective for him. That it sent him into one of the most creative times of his life, he felt as if he was a beginner again, less sure about everything. During this Period, Steve created PIXAR studios, which is now the most successful animated movie producer in the world and NeXT Computing. Apple during this time was struggling to keep up with with other companies such as Microsoft which was dominating the PC market at the time with the latest launch of their new Windows 95 operating system. In an attempt to get back on track, Apple purchased NeXT Computing and brings back Steve Jobs as an advisor.
When Steve Jobs came back, he would not make the same mistakes that he made before. In July 1997, Steve signs as intern CEO for an annual income of only $1. With a two word slogan, "Think Different", Steve tells the world from a Macworld Boston gathering that Apple is going to get back on track with bright things in the companies future. Steve announces that Apple and Microsoft have a new partnership to work together on new various software including Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office. Steve also released OS X 8 along with a brand new iMac computer. In four months, the "Funky" iMac with various color options became the number one selling computer in America, soaring Apples stock back into life. Steve and his ideas did not stop there though, Steve launched 25 Apple stores throughout the United States in an attempt to make a convenient place for consumers to experience Apple. This was an attempt by Steve to "woo over" Microsoft users and provide them a passageway to a different way of computing, and it worked. Sales went through the roof with the introduction of these convenient neighborhood stores.
Many of the products that Steve Jobs innovated have lead the industry in their respective classes. Some of the best examples are, the iPod along with iTunes which reshaped the music industry. The iPhone which redefined smartphones. The Apple TV which has changed the way that we view television and the internet while still exploiting the large screen size. The Macbook Air which launched a new revolution of extra-portable laptops. And Lets not forget about the iPad which has just simply redefined the entire way we look at mobile computing and what technology is capable of doing. How many companies can say that they have produced as many industry leading products as Apple has been able of doing.
The success of Apple really isn't a mystery. Bill Gates might have summarized Steve's talents best when he quoted, " I think in terms of intuitive taste for people and products, the way he (Steve Jobs) does things is truly different, and I think its magical." Steve just knew what the people wanted, it was that simple. But at the same time, he always wanted perfection from his employees. He wants himself and his employees to do the best work that they possibly can and say that they are truly proud of their finished product. His strive for the best possible truly is reflected onto the products Apple releases time and again. The products are beautifully put together pieces of art inside and out while still meeting the power and work demands of the general public and even power users. Jobs knew how to speak the peoples language and knows how to win others over with his ideas.
Sadly though, the time has come that because of his fight against cancer, Steve no longer commit full time to his company that he put so much time and effort into. He built a dynasty that had just recently become the most valuable company in the world in terms of market capitalization. Though they lost the top spot to Exxon Mobile these past two days due to Steve's announcement and fear by investors, it shouldn't take long until the company is once again back on top. Just like its meant to be!
As for now, Steve will still serve a key role in the company. But, when he does indeed leave for good, he sure has left his mark hasn't he?
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
- Steven N. Jobs

Owning the Right Risks

In the 1970s a revolution occurred in the field of corporate strategy. A boom in mergers and acquisitions launched new professions in M&A banking, M&A law, and strategy consulting, and companies started to focus on owning businesses in which they had a competitive advantage. At the same time, another revolution occurred in how financial services companies understood, bought, and sold risk-described in the authors' companion article in this issue, "The New Arsenal of Risk Management." Now these two revolutions are coming together to trigger a third in the corporate approach to risk management. Engineering and dynamically managing a company's risk portfolio has become the organizing principle for strategic choice. When companies focus on the risks for which they are naturally advantaged, they can typically support higher debt levels and save on operating costs. McKinsey's Buehler, Freeman, and Hulme describe five steps to help corporate managers adjust to the third revolution: 1) Identify and understand your major risks; 2) decide which risks are natural; 3) determine your capacity and appetite for risk; 4) embed risk in all decisions and processes, including investment, commercial, financial, and operational; and 5) align governance and organization around risk. TXU is one company that has already successfully adapted. Following the 2002 deregulation of wholesale and retail electricity markets in the U.S. state of Texas, TXU embarked on an ambitious risk-return restructuring program that relied on sophisticated risk-management tools to quantify its risk capacity. The program led to share price increases that created more than $32 billion in value before the company was taken private in the largest leveraged buyout in history.

Emergence of large cliques in random scale-free networks

In a network cliques are fully connected subgraphs that reveal which are the tight communities present in it. Cliques of size c > 3 are present in random Erdös and Renyi graphs only in the limit of diverging average connectivity. Starting from the finding that real scale free graphs have large cliques, we study the clique number in uncorrelated scale-free networks finding both upper and lower bounds. Interesting we find that in scale-free networks large cliques appear also when the average degree is finite, i.e. even for networks with power-law degree distribution exponents ! ! (2, 3). Moreover as long as ! < 3 scale-free networks have a maximal clique which diverges with the system size.

If your gift has an apparent value of less than $5,000, an appraisal is encouraged but not required. If your gift has an apparent value of $5,000 or more, the IRS requires an appraisal and IRS Form 8283. Exceptions include: 1) closely-held stock, which must be appraised only if the apparent value is $10,000 or more; 2) gifts of service; 3) gifts of out-of-pocket expenses; and 4) limited use of private property.
If your gift has an apparent value of $5,000 or more, an appraisal is encouraged but not required; however, a completed IRS Form 8283 is required if you plan to seek a tax deduction.
