Medical office managers serve an important administrative position for any large scale medical company. They normally oversee a single medical office, but in some cases, they can also oversee multiple locations within the same company, such as multiple hospitals or medical clinics. If a physician opens a private practice, they will most likely hire a medical office manager in order to streamline the functions the physician must perform. Much like a manager for any other area, medical office managers oversee the day-to-day operations of their office, including taking incoming calls, managing schedules for employees and patients, and managing and organize paperwork, expenses and accounts receivable.

Can't travel and attack at light speed at the same time bro.@solesamurai: lightspeed kick bro.
*You're* *Yourself* You managed to write 2 incomplete sentences in the same post one after another, then proceed to insult my grammar. You are a hypocrite, and frankly an asshole. They are the same thing btw, One just comes off a little more irritated since I was a little irritated at you when I told you to "calm the fuck down". Go ahead keep making an ass of yourself. Prove to everyone how much I really was right when I said I was going to stop the debate in the first place, You fell right into place and did exactly what I thought you would do, which is throw around insults like a 10 year old, grow the hell up asshole.@solesamurai: LOL you managed to make a complete fool out of youself. Hey why should I be mad? Your the illiterate.
And "calm the fuck down" isn't the same as "chill out" stupid haha.

A confident 14-year-old named Deidre waves her hand dismissively. She's been in the TEEN program for years. "My friends and classmates talk, but they are so wrong. This one boy says erotic things like, 'I had three girls last night.' And I'm like, 'Yeah right. You can't even do multiplication.' "
Deidre had Be the One in sixth grade. She remembers only that "they talked about abstinence, and they made me write some credit card." She hopes to save herself for marriage and adds that because of T.E.E.N. Society, "I know what to do in a pressure situation."
A 15-year-old named Anthony said that in school, seventh-grade science addressed sex only in terms of clinical scientific discussions. He seemed to appreciate Siegel's helping connect all the dots. "He doesn't leave out the detail."
But isn't he a self-described "weird guy"? "No — he's down-to-earth," Anthony says defensively. "He's like a lifesaver. Maybe if somebody goes in the neighborhood, now they'll think twice before they get down to business."
Over at Lake Worth High School, Be the One educator Kristin Newman — a tall, pretty blond — is teaching kids about a chemical called oxytocin. Some researchers have found that oxytocin is released in the body during childbirth and sex. They say it helps people to bond.
Sometimes, when Newman gets to this point in the lecture, she will take two colors of Play-Doh and mix them together, illustrating that once you have shared oxytocin with someone, "you can't just take it out and have a completely clean start with a new person."
A footnote at the bottom of her slide reveals that her information is taken from the ideas of Eric Keroack, a former Massachusetts obstetrician/gynecologist who once ran the Division of Health and Human Services but was forced to resign under pressure. The Boston Globe newspaper dissected Keroack's theories and found them to be based on the work of other scientists. Those researchers overwhelmingly said that Keroack "misstated the findings" and distorted their work. One dismissed his assertions as "complete pseudoscience." (Asked about this later, Be the One's Beau Heyman said that many researchers have associated oxytocin with bonding and reiterated that the health department approved his presentation.)
Newman shows them a PowerPoint slide with the words "Know, Trust, Commit, Sex" and suggests that relationships progress in that order. People can get to know each other — minus sex — with the "Three T's: Time, Togetherness, Talking. "What if you have sex with someone before you fully know them — and then it turns out they are going to steal our stuff? Or if they break up with us — they are going to be sharing that oxytocin with other people!"
Newman pulls up the statistics on marriage: The best environment for children is in a healthy family. Married people are less vulnerable to suicide. Married people live longer.
So shouldn't kids hurry and get married? No, she says, because teen marriage is the best indicator of the probability of divorce. Cohabitation's bad too — there's a 75 percent breakup rate! The point is to value one's self and wait. Instead, focus on goals. "We live in a microwave society," she says, where some sex is "fast and cheap" — like eating at McDonald's. Waiting to have sex until marriage, she says, is like enjoying a sitdown meal at Applebee's.
She ends the class with conviction: "The best and most fulfilling sex is in a healthy marriage."
Newman, 27, has never been married and never had sex. "I do believe in this, and I live by it," she says proudly.
As the class files out, health teacher Elizabeth Lopez said she considers Be the One to have the best presentation she's seen in her ten years of teaching. A girl beaming with admiration lingers to talk to Newman. A boy, Syed Ali, says the presentation "teaches how to make good choices and not make mistakes." He won't have sex before marriage, he says, because of his religion — and besides, he needs to focus on becoming a cardiologist.
During lunchtime in the courtyard, though, students' budding sex drives are visibly evident. A mature-looking boy and a big-chested girl, oblivious to stares, are clutching each other and demonstrating how the term sucking face might have come about. In a shadowy corner, one boy rubs up against a girl and nuzzles her ear. "No, you are not coming to my house after school," she purrs, sounding conflicted.
Nearby, three tall boys laugh at Be the One's message.
"Nobody's virgins," scoffs one, his boxers hanging out of his low-slung jeans.
"Not everybody's going to get married," another says. "Teenagers don't really wait until they're 30."
According to them, kids are having sex all the time and everywhere. They already know about condoms, "but not all girls like to use condoms, you know," says the first boy, raising his eyebrows knowingly.
"If somebody told me condoms didn't work, I wouldn't use it then," boy number three chimes in. "If a girl gets pregnant, then she gets pregnant, that's all," he says, as though it's the most casual thing in the world. "She could have an abortion or have the baby."

Federal Lawsuit Against Valley City Police Settled
VALLEY CITY, N.D. (AP) - A federal lawsuit filed by a North Dakota woman who said she suffered permanent injuries from a police handcuff incident has been settled out of court.
Cheryl Schultz sued Valley City and two police officers after the March 2009 incident. She claimed she suffered second-degree burns when police used an electric grinder to remove one of the cuffs placed on her wrists when she was arrested for drunken driving.
She had sought $50,000 in damages. Valley City Attorney Russ Myhre says that terms of the settlement are not being made public.

Gary K. Owens, PhD
Cellular and molecular mechanisms that control growth and differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells during vasculogenesis/angiogenesis
The major long term goals of research in the Owens laboratory are to elucidate cellular and molecular mechanisms that control growth and differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) during vasculogenesis/angiogenesis, and to identify mechanisms that contribute to alterations in the differentiated state of the SMC that contribute to development of vascular diseases such as hypertension or atherosclerosis, as well as to defective vessel maturation within solid tumors. Current studies are aimed at identifying molecular mechanisms that control the coordinate expression of contractile protein genes such as smooth muscle *-actin and smooth muscle myosin heavy chains that are required for the differentiated function of the smooth muscle cell. Studies involve use of a wide repertoire of molecular genetic techniques and include identification of cis elements and trans regulatory factors that regulate cell-type specific expression of smooth muscle differentiation genes both in cultured cell systems and in vivo in transgenic mice. In addition, they use a variety of gene knockout, chimera, and gene over-expression approaches to investigate the role of specific transcription factors and local environmental cues (e.g. growth factors, mechanical factors, cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, etc.) in regulation of smooth muscle differentiation during vascular development, or in cardiovascular disease. A particularly exciting recent development is that they have employed smooth muscle specific promoters originally cloned and characterized in their laboratory to create mice in which they can target knockout (or over-expression) of genes of interest specifically to smooth muscle cells. Such systems will permit development of unique and powerful genetic mouse model systems with which to directly explore mechanisms that contribute to vascular development, and remodeling in vivo, as well as to investigate the etiology of a variety of major cardiovascular diseases including hypertension and atherosclerosis. In addition, they have employed these promoters to develop methods for producing purified populations of smooth muscle cells or smooth muscle cell progenitor cells from both embryonic and adult stem cells. The latter studies have tremendous potential for use in either correcting gene defects that contribute to cardiovascular disease, or alternatively delivering therapeutic genes to treat or possibly cure these diseases.
As an extension of their studies focused on SMC investment of endothelial tubes during vascular development and remodeling, they have begun to characterize abnormalities found in tumor vessels. The vasculature within many solid tumors is highly disorganized and contains tortuous and dilated vessels that are highly leaky due to failure to undergo normal maturation and investment with SMC or pericytes. Of particular importance, endothelial tubes formed in tumors that invest normally with SMCs/pericytes have very low rates of tumor cell shedding such that defective maturation or SMC/pericyte investment of tumor vessels is thought to be a major determinant of the rate of tumor cell shedding and metastatic potential. In addition, there is recent evidence from Mukesh Jain's lab that tumor vascular maturation plays a key role in the efficacy of delivery of chemotherapeutic agents and the failure of many anti-angiogenic agent cancer clinical trials. Studies in their lab are focused on utilizing our unique SMC promoter-reporter transgenic, and SMC targeted gene knockout mice in combination with mouse models for cancer progression (both human and mouse tumor lines) to determine cellular and molecular mechanisms responsible for defective investment of tumor vessels, as well as to identify the relative contributions of circulating progenitor cells versus pre-existing SMC to investment of tumor blood vessels. They are also carrying out studies in SMC:tumor cell co-cultures to determine mechanisms whereby tumor cells may inhibit SMC differentiation. Of major interest, they have demonstrated that highly metastatic tumor cells produce a soluble protein that profoundly inhibits differentiation of SMC/pericytes. They are in the process of identifying and identifying this SMC differentiation repressor protein using a combination of proteomic and genomic approaches. Taken together, their in vitro and in vivo studies are likely to provide valuable new insights into mechanisms that contribute to defective maturation of tumor vessels, and possible clinical interventions to modify this to reduce tumor growth, increase susceptibility to chemotherapeutic agents, and reduce overall metastatic potential.
They are collaborating with Dr. Donald Hunt in studies to identify the soluble protein produced by highly metastatic tumor cells that profoundly inhibits differentiation of SMC and pericytes using high throughput mass spec proteomic methods developed in his laboaratory. They have also collaborated extensively with Dr. Hunt to map phosphorylation sites on the rRNA transcription factor UBF, and shown that this is a key rate limiting step in growth of normal and transformed cells. A paper describing these latter studies has been submitted for publication (Lin et al., 2005).
They are collaborating with Dr. Tom Skalak in studies to determine if circulating bone marrow derived stem cells contribute to investment of tumor vessels with SMCs/pericytes. Of major interest, using a novel whole mount vascular preparation in conjunction with their unique SMC promoter lacZ transgenic mice, they have shown minimal contribution of bone marrow derived cells to either SMC or EC lineages within the tumor vasculature. However, they have shown the presence of large number of bone marrow derived cells in a perivascular location suggesting that they could play a key paracrine role in tumor angiogenesis. A manuscript describing these findings is in preparation and they plan on submitting an NIH BME Partnership grant with Dr. Skalak in this area this fall.

See studies by P. A. Schilpp, ed. (1963, repr. 1984) and R. Butrick (1970).
(born May 18, 1891, Ronsdorf, Ger.—died Sept. 14, 1970, Santa Monica, Calif., U.S.) German-born U.S. philosopher. He earned a doctorate in physics at the University of Jena in 1921. In 1926 he was invited to join the faculty of the University of Vienna, where he soon became an influential member of a group of philosophers, mathematicians, and scientists known as the Vienna Circle. Out of their discussions developed the basic ideas of logical positivism. Carnap immigrated to the U.S. in 1935 and taught at the University of Chicago (1936–52). After two years at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton (1952–54), he joined the faculty of the University of California at Los Angeles, where he remained until his death. Carnap sought to give the basic thesis of empiricism—that all concepts and beliefs about the world ultimately derive from immediate experience—a precise interpretation, construing it as a logical thesis about the evidential grounding of empirical knowledge. For Carnap, empiricism is the doctrine that the terms and sentences that express assertions about the world are "reducible" in a clearly specifiable sense to terms and sentences describing the immediate data of experience. His major works include The Logical Structure of the World (1928), The Logical Syntax of Language (1934), Introduction to Semantics (1942), Meaning and Necessity (1947), and The Logical Foundations of Probability (1950).

Carnap discovered a kindred spirit when he met Hans Reichenbach at a 1923 conference. Reichenbach introduced Carnap to Moritz Schlick, a professor at the University of Vienna who offered Carnap a position in his department, which Carnap took up in 1926. Carnap thereupon joined an informal group of Viennese intellectuals that came to be called the Vienna Circle, led by Moritz Schlick and including Hans Hahn, Friedrich Waismann, Otto Neurath, and Herbert Feigl, with occasional appearances by Hahn's student Kurt Gödel. When Wittgenstein visited Vienna, Carnap would meet with him. He (with Hahn and Neurath) wrote the 1929 manifesto of the Circle, and (with Hans Reichenbach) founded the philosophy journal Erkenntnis.
In 1928, Carnap published two important books:
In February 1930 Tarski lectured in Vienna, and in November 1930 Carnap visited Warsaw. On these occasions he learned much about Tarski's model theoretic approach to semantics. In 1931, Carnap was appointed Professor at the German language University of Prague. There he wrote the book that was to make him the most famous logical positivist and member of the Vienna Circle, his Logical Syntax of Language (Carnap 1934). In this work, Carnap advanced his Principle of Tolerance, according to which there is no such thing as a "true" or "correct" logic or language. One is free to adopt whatever form of language is useful for one's purposes. In 1933, Willard Quine met Carnap in Prague and discussed the latter's work at some length. Thus began the lifelong mutual respect these two men shared, one that survived Quine's eventual forceful disagreements with a number of Carnap's philosophical conclusions.
Carnap, under no illusions about what the Third Reich was about to unleash on Europe, and whose socialist and pacifist convictions made him a marked man, emigrated to the United States in 1935 and became a naturalized citizen in 1941. Meanwhile back in Vienna, Moritz Schlick was assassinated in 1936. From 1936 to 1952, Carnap was a professor of philosophy at the University of Chicago. Thanks in part to Quine's good offices, Carnap spent the years 1939-41 at Harvard, where he was reunited with Tarski. Carnap (1963) later expressed some irritation about his time at Chicago, where he and Charles W. Morris were the only members of the department committed to the primacy of science and logic. (Their Chicago colleagues included Richard McKeon, Mortimer Adler, Charles Hartshorne, and Manley Thompson.) Carnap's years at Chicago were nonetheless highly productive ones. He wrote books on semantics (Carnap 1942, 1943, 1956), modal logic, coming very close in Carnap (1956) to the now-standard possible worlds semantics for that logic Saul Kripke proposed starting in 1959, and on the philosophical foundations of probability and induction (Carnap 1950, 1952).
After a stint at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, he joined the philosophy department at UCLA in 1954, Hans Reichenbach having died the previous year. He had earlier declined an offer of a similar position at the University of California, because taking up that position required that he sign a McCarthy-era loyalty oath, a practice to which he was opposed on principle. While at UCLA, he wrote on scientific knowledge, the analytic - synthetic dichotomy, and the verification principle. His writings on thermodynamics and on the foundations of probability and induction, were published posthumously as Carnap (1971, 1977, 1980).
Carnap taught himself Esperanto when he was a mere fourteen years of age, and remained very sympathetic to it (Carnap 1963). He later attended the World Congress of Esperanto in 1908 and 1922, and employed the language while traveling.
Carnap had four children by his first marriage, which ended in divorce in 1929. His second wife committed suicide in 1964.
Online bibliography. Under construction, with no entries dated later than 1937. Most of Carnap's publications from 1940 onwards can be tracked via the web-based Philosopher's Index, to which most academic libraries subscribe.

Dark Spyro (Real Cheat. Not A "Guide")
While you are playing any time, pause the game. Now before i tell you the code, make sure you press START instead of triangle. If you press triangle or continue, the pause screen will be goine and nothing will happen. So the code is R2 L2 R2 L2 L1 L1 R1 R1 L1 R1 L2 L2 R2 R2 START. Now press L3 (Maybe R3) any time and you'll switch from either dark to normal or normal to dark. Even if you turn off the ps2 and play the game agin, the cheat wil still be there. (You might have to save first. idk. I'm not even totally sure it will stay with you but you can just redo the code any time so no harm done.) Bye! Have fun being dark!

An empirical evaluation of a set of recommendations for extrasensory perception experimental research
Pérez-Navarro, José M. and Guerra, Xana Martínez (2012) An empirical evaluation of a set of recommendations for extrasensory perception experimental research. Europe's Journal of Psychology, 8 (1). pp. 32-48. ISSN 1841-0413 (doi:10.5964/ejop.v8i1.297)
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
One of the main criticisms of extrasensory perception (ESP) research is the lack of replication of positive results across laboratories. In this paper we report a study (N=100) where we tested a set of practices recommended by researchers in the area in order to develop a robust 'recipe' for ESP experimental research. In an experimental condition that included these practices we observed a 30% rate of correct guesses (z=0.82, p=0.21, one tailed) compared to a 22% rate observed in a control condition (z=-0.49, p=0.31, one-tailed). It is discussed how results obtained so far, with free-response protocols, are not strong enough to fully satisfy mainstream science.

Comments about Baker Quartet® Felt Chalk Eraser:
This product was entirely different than the description and picture. The product has all black felt, even though in the picture, it is striped black and white (which I would have liked better). Also, the description said that the eraser is a premium eraser and has the felt stitched to the "frame", this product had the felt glued to the frame. This product also has a sticker on the frame which is supposed to be the label, even though in the picture, the product looks like the label is attached to the frame more securely. Will not purchase from Quill again. This was a big disappointment, Quill saved a penny by shipping a cheaper product.
The eraser its self, is pretty decent, is erases, but is not as strong as the one in the picture and as described in the description.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: We apologize, we had the incorrect picture of this on our site. The picture has now been corrected.

Penn State scandal is a case study in bad crisis management
Posted By The Denver Post On November 9, 2011 @ 6:02 pm In College Sports,Football | 1 Comment
The Penn State scandal is a case study in bad crisis management.
Steven Silvers, a principal at Denver-based GBSM, Inc., regularly counsels corporate and nonprofit clients on how to handle public relations and crisis response.
So Silvers knows how monumentally poor a job Penn State is doing handling its rape and molestation scandal, saying that the university's lips-sealed approach "breaks every rule of modern crisis communications. As an institution, Penn State knows this." [1]
For future reference, Silvers alludes, the best approach is to be honest and forthright about your problems. Don't hide from them — because they won't just go away.

History of Medicine
Spurned by his creator, Mary Shelley's monster kills for revenge. The movie monster, on the other hand, kills because he's been given the brain of a criminal. Early in the twentieth century, "biological determinism" was in the air; heredity, more than environment or education, the idea went, caused social problems. Proponents of eugenics wanted to improve the human species through compulsory sterilization of criminals, the mentally retarded, and others deemed social misfits. Some two-thirds of Americans were said to support such measures.
Do you see the "sex pervert" in brain no. 590? Such overly neat links between biology and destiny were intellectually fashionable in the 1920s, in the period just before Universal Studios released Frankenstein.

International Contemporary Ensemble
Anna Thorvaldsdottir
Sat, Apr 25, 2015
Innovative new music ensemble ICE performs In the Light of Air, an atmospheric and luminescent work they commissioned of Anna Thorvaldsdottir for the Reykjavik Arts Festival. An inspired and unusual collaboration between the musicians and composer, In the Light of Air is played alongside an installation and interactive light constellation. In the Light of Air is played in four movements—Luminance, Serenity, Existence, and Remembrance—tied together through connecting materials. The ICE musicians activate the lighting fixtures through their breath as well as through their instrumental performance. Thorvaldsdottir conceived of the installation's metallic ornaments for ICE to play as part of the live performance. The ornaments—called Klakabönd in Icelandic, which translates as "a bind of ice"—were created by the artist Svana Jósepsdóttir.
Thorvaldsdottir imbues In the Light of Air with subtle nuances and poetic textures of sound materials and harmonies that stream together as lyrical gestures throughout the work. Explaining the total experience, she says "internally I hear sounds and nuances as musical melodies . . . structurally I like working with perspectives of details and the unity of the whole, and the relationship between the two."
About the Artists
Anna Thorvaldsdottir is a prominent Icelandic composer who frequently works with large structures of sounds for instrumental ensembles, soloists, voices, or electronic mediums. Her music often portrays a flowing world of sound with an enigmatic lyrical atmosphere, reflecting her sense of imaginative listening to landscapes and nature. Thorvaldsdottir's music is frequently performed in Europe and the US, and her works have been nominated and awarded on many occasions. Her chamber orchestra piece "Hrim" was awarded Composition of the Year at the Icelandic Music Awards 2011, as well as the International Music Prize for Excellence in Composition 2011. At the Icelandic Music Awards 2012, Thorvaldsdottir was awarded Composer of the Year and her debut album Rhízōma was awarded Classical/Contemporary Album of the Year. She received the Nordic Council Music Prize 2012 for her orchestral work Dreaming. She holds a PhD from the University of California-San Diego.
For more information on Anna Thorvaldsdottir, visit.
ICE is dedicated to reshaping the way music is created and experienced. With a modular makeup of 33 leading instrumentalists performing in forces ranging from solos to large ensembles, ICE functions as performer, presenter, and educator, advancing the music of our time by developing innovative new works and new strategies for audience engagement. Since its founding in 2001 and directed by Claire Chaise, ICE has premiered more than 500 compositions, the majority of these new works by emerging composers, in venues ranging from alternate spaces to concert halls around the world. The ensemble received the American Music Center's Trailblazer Award in 2010 and the ASCAP/Chamber Music America Award for Adventurous Programming in 2005 and in 2010. ICE musicians have served as Artists-in-Residence at the Mostly Mozart Festival of Lincoln Center through 2013, and ICE was MCA's first Ensemble-in-Residence from 2010 through 2013.
ICE has released acclaimed albums on labels such as Nonesuch, Kairos, Bridge, Naxos, Tzadik, New Focus, and New Amsterdam, with several forthcoming releases on Mode Records. Recent and upcoming highlights include headline performances at the Lincoln Center Festival (New York), Musica Nova Helsinki (Finland), Wien Modern (Austria), Acht Brücken Music for Cologne (Germany), and La Cité de la Musique (Paris), as well as tours of Japan, Brazil, and France. ICE has worked closely with conductors Ludovic Morlot, Matthias Pintscher, John Adams, and Susanna Mälkki.

These are the top 25 most used passwords for 2012 — can you guess what they are?
Posted By Ashraf On October 29, 2012 @ 12:00 AM In General Tech,World Wide Web | 10 Comments
Ever wonder what are the passwords people use the most? SplashData, a software company that makes password management programs and apps, has compiled its annual "Worst Passwords" list for 2012, which gives us some insights on what the most popular bad passwords used by people. The top three most used passwords? Drum roll please… "password", "123456", and "12345678". (In case you are wondering, there is no "1234567" in the top three because "123456" is used for those logins that require a minimum of 6 characters and "12345678" is used for those logins that require a minimum of 8 characters; not as many logins require a minimum of 7 characters, hence why you don't see "1234567" in the top three.)
The following is the full list of top 25 worst passwords for 2012:
- password
- 123456
- 12345678
- abc123
- qwerty
- monkey
- letmein
- dragon
- 111111
- baseball
- iloveyou
- trustno1
- 1234567
- sunshine
- master
- 123123
- welcome
- shadow
- ashley
- football
- jesus
- michael
- ninja
- mustang
- password1
"Monkey" is really number six? I would have never guessed that. And "Ashley" is more popular than "Jesus"? Those feminine charms…
I'm sure, or at least I hope, that people that are using such passwords are using them for non-critical accounts that, even if hacked, wouldn't cause much of an issue. However, that may not necessarily be the case. As SplashData CEO Morgan Slain points out, the presence of "welcome" at number seventeen indicates "people are not even changing default passwords". (Slain says this because he assumes "welcome" is more likely a default password given to new users of a system rather than a password users manually pick.)
Do you use any of the passwords in the list shown above? Or do you have your own "guilty pleasures" when it comes to passwords? Share in the comments [2] below! And be sure to read dotTech's five easy-to-follow tips for creating secure passwords [3] to stay safe.

EMagin Reports $8.3M Revenue, $1.6M Operating Income For Third Quarter 2011
eMagin Corporation (NYSE Amex: EMAN), the leader in OLED technology for the design and manufacture of OLED microdisplays for high resolution imaging products, today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2011 ended September 30, 2011.
"The competitive strength of our technology and products continues to drive progress at eMagin. We matched our best quarter ever in terms of revenues, at $8.3 million, and saw sequential improvement in our performance," stated Andrew Sculley, President and CEO. "Our new OLED deposition machine has arrived at our production facility in Hopewell Junction, New York, and we have begun installing the new equipment. We expect the new OLED deposition machine to be operating in first quarter of 2012. When fully operational, we expect a 10-fold increase in deposition capacity and improvements in yield."
Mr. Sculley added, "We continue to anticipate that we will meet our 2011 revenue guidance of between $29.0 and $33.0 million based on several factors including current market conditions, production capacity, the Company's backlog under existing contracts, shipments to a significant new customer in the high-end camera business, and other potential new business."
Quarterly Results
Revenues for the third quarter were $8.3 million, essentially the same as for the comparable period in 2010. On a sequential basis, third quarter revenue was up 10.9% over second quarter revenue of $7.4 million. Gross margin for the third quarter was 53% of revenues for gross profit of $4.4 million, compared to a gross margin of 66% for gross profit of $5.5 million in the same quarter last year. Gross margin for the third quarter improved over the second quarter gross margin of 49% due to semi-fixed production expenses being spread over a higher revenue base. Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2011 were $2.8 million, or 33% of revenues, versus operating expenses of $2.6 million, or 31% of revenues, for the prior year period. On a sequential basis, operating expenses declined approximately $250,000 from the second quarter of 2011. For the third quarter of 2011, selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were lower at $2.0 million, compared to $2.1 million for the prior year period, and $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2011.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Intaba Bushbabies Tea
An African SECRET... For thousands of years, the SAN people of Africa (or BUSHmen, as some call them) have lived in harmony with NATURE. They knew the secrets of the earth and their medicine men used both the ROOIBOS (Red Bush) and HoneyBUSH plants growing wild in the mountains around the Cape in South Africa for their healthful properties. Of course, what they also knew was just how delicious a brew these plants make! Intaba BUSHbabies got wise to the secret of the BUSH people and combined the TWO most delicious brews for a wholesome and refreshing drink. The soothing effect of Rooibos, complemented by the naturally sweet taste of Honeybush, makes Intaba Bushbabies the ideal drink for young ones. Healthy, calming and sweet tasting - great hot OR iced! We have not added anything to nature's goodness - In South Africa, Rooibos and Honeybush tea are known to be recommended for children - even babies - because of their health benefits. Intaba Bushbabies is naturally caffeine free, contains natural anti-oxidants and minerals and is organically certified. Unlike most herbal teas, one can add milk when serving it hot, and iced, it's a great thirst quencher after playtime. Kids love the naturally sweet taste!

Medical Systems
Innovative fluid simulation design tools for engineers
Fluid simulation can impinge on many areas of medical device design: from breathing apparatus to simulating blood flow, fluid simulation can provide insight from the earliest stages of concept design. Mentor Graphics offers a range of solutions to aid engineers responsible for fluid system design, medical equipment or clean rooms/fume cupboards.
Water Networks
Size components, virtually prototype different design scenarios.
Ventilation/Contaminant Dispersal
Airflow is a complex phenomenon, subtle geometry changes or changes in temperature can result in very different flow patterns. This has particular importance where the designer needs to consider the dispersal of pollutants in laboratories, cleanrooms or hospitals. A thorough understanding of the response over a range of likely operating scenarios is essential:
For cleanrooms it is important to trace numerous contaminants through it- whether they are clothing particles or other larger sources of contaminants.
In healthcare facilities, airborne viruses and bacteria can be a threat to both patients and staff. These can have a devastating impact depending on where this exposure occurs, whether it's in a patient room, isolation room or operating room. It is important to be able to control or eliminate these contaminants through the effective design of ventilation systems.
In laboratories, it is important that the overall ventilation system for the space does not compromise the effectiveness of the fume hoods. In particular, potentially hazardous chemical vapors could escape from the fume hood and create danger for the scientists within the room.
Recommended Solutions
FloEFD's CAD embedded simulation package combines a unique approach to meshing with demonstrably high levels of accuracy. It can thus be readily applied to complex geometries and scenarios. FloEFD can deliver information on both comfort parameters and calculate local mean age and local air change index parameters. It also allows tracer studies to be carried out to track the dispersal rate of gases and particulates.
FloVENT offers a powerful solver to quickly assess the ventilation of internal environments. Designed specifically for this task, its interface is designed to aid engineers in obtaining useful results quickly and easily. FloVENT features a comprehensive model creation environment for HVAC airflow modeling design. A wide range of models can be assembled quickly from a complete set of SmartParts (intelligent model creation macros). SmartParts capture modeling expertise, streamlines model creation, minimizes solve times and so maximizes solution accuracy.
Device Design
Analysing performance in a virtual environment enables designers to try more innovative concepts.
Design of Heat Exchangers
The design, selection and placement of heat exchangers is of increasing importance given the trend toward increased interaction between systems; constraints on size and weight and the increased emphasis on efficiency. Computational fluid dynamics offers those concerned with these issues the opportunity to consider not only novel unit designs, but also the performance of the system as a whole under different scenarios.
Recommended Solutions
FloEFD's CAD-embedded CFD solution enables designers to assess the performance of new designs without the need to learn a new interface. Furthermore, its unique meshing system allows even the most complex geometries to be tackled with the minimum user effort.
Flowmaster's library of heat exchanger components provides a powerful resource for those considering the system level response of a heat exchanger network. The library ranges from the very basic through to sophisticated models that allow engineers to study different geometrical arrangements within the heat exchanger. And users may enhance the catalogue with their own performance data if desired.
Device Design
Create safe and well ventilated work environments with modern simulation tools.
It is increasingly the case that modern devices, of whatever type, are both smaller and more powerful than they were a decade before. Thermal management is thus an essential consideration for the designer. The number, sizing and placement of vents or fins and the internal flow paths for the cooling medium are parameters well suited to analysis via computer simulation.
Recommended Solution
Both FloEFD and FloTHERM XT leverage the power of meshing technology that enables even the most complex of geometries to be quickly and efficiently discretized. While FloEFD is an excellent CAD-embedded general purpose CFD package, well suited to the design task, FloTHERM XT focuses on electronics cooling, with a library of 'SmartParts' which cover the most commonly found electronic components.

Matt Kenseth won seven races in his first season with Joe Gibbs Racing last year.Start Slideshow
But none were bigger than his victory in the prestigious Bojangles Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway.
"That's one of the biggest races of the year, in my opinion," Kenseth said. "It's certainly a historic race — the Southern 500 is one of the three or four races that you always hear about. It's certainly one you always want to win."

A win at NASCAR's oldest speedway and toughest track is a big deal. But it's also one of the most difficult races to win.
Just ask Kasey Kahne. He had the fastest car on the track last year — until Kyle Busch nudged him into the wall during a late battle for the lead.
"We were by far the best car at the end of that race, but just didn't get the win … when I was hit by another car as I was making my move for first," Kahne said.
MORE: Darlington's new challenge | Power Rankings
That happens at Darlington, an odd-shaped, narrow track where there is little room to race and a little margin for error.
"It's bit me a lot of times," said Busch, who won there in 2008. "I should have won probably twice as many races as I've won there, which is frustrating."
No one knows the difficulty of conquering Darlington more than Jeff Gordon, who has won there seven times, but also had his share of trouble and come up short on numerous occasions.
"You have to respect it or it could ruin your day," Gordon said. "The track drives you. At other places, we are typically trying to put the car in specific spots on the track. At Darlington, the track naturally feeds you to a certain area, which is right up next to the wall."
PHOTOS: Classic Darlington pics | Celebrities and NASCAR
The key to success, Gordon says, is pushing the limits of the car and the track without going over the edge.
"At Darlington, it's very easy to go over the edge," he said.
Who will go over the edge Saturday night (6:30 p.m. ET on Fox), like Busch and Kahne last year?
And who will survive to conquer one of NASCAR's toughest tracks and biggest races?
Jeff GordonNext
He has seven wins at Darlington, six in the Southern 500. He hasn't won it since 2007, but had seven straight top-fives there from 2004-2010, and then finished third last year. Gordon is off to one of his best starts in years. Only one thing is missing — a win.
There have been seven different winners in the first even races, and none of them were Johnson or Kenseth, the last two winners at Darlington. Johnson, who has won at Darlington three times, cherishes his 2012 win there, which was the 200th victory for Hendrick Motorsports. Another one would ease some of the frustration over what has been a tough start to the season. He finished fourth there last year.Next
Kenseth came on strong at the end of last year's race for his first Darlington win. His Gibbs team has not been as strong so far this season, but Kenseth's patient, calculating style fits Darlington. He could win there again.Next
Busch, who won there in 2008, led 265 laps last year before the late skirmish with Kahne dropped him to sixth. He led 44 laps and finished fourth in 2012 and always seems to be around the front there.Next
Denny HamlinNext
Hamlin is on the sleeper list only because he has been disappointing this season, scoring just two top-10s and finishing 19th and 13th in his last two races. He won at Darlington in 2010 and has finished second the past two years. If his team can suddenly figure things out, he'll be a factor at one of his best tracks.
Biffle scored back-to-back Southern 500 wins in 2005-06. After a slow start, his team seemed to hit on something last week at Texas, leading to a sixth-place finish. If his team has the new aero package figured out, Biffle could be a factor.Next
He proved last year that he could get around Darlington. Now he just needs to stay away from Kyle Busch.Next
Truex, who desperately needs a good run, led 25 laps and finished fifth at Darlington in 2012. He also drives for a team that has the track figured out. Furniture Row pulled off a huge upset there in 2011, winning with Regan Smith for its only career victory. The team led 69 laps there last year with Kurt Busch. Sounds like a good combination.Next
Things can get hairy at Darlington, leading to dust-ups on the track and run-ins on pit road. Among the drivers who have tangled there in recent years are Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick, Kurt Busch and Ryan Newman and Kyle and Kahne last year. Harvick is full of pent-up aggression after four weeks of horrible finishes, while Kahne hasn't forgotten last year's skirmish. Either could tangle with Kyle Busch again.Next
Bob Pockrass: Jeff Gordon. He's leading the points, and he'll prove why because he will win at Darlington, a place where he has seven career victories. He was third there last year, one of his 19 career top-fives in 33 starts at the track. He has led 1,736 laps at Darlington. In other words, he knows how to get around one of the toughest tracks on the circuit.
Jeff Owens: Kyle Busch. Busch led 265 laps last year but didn't win. He hasn't forgotten that. Joe Gibbs Racing also seems to have a handle on the track. Busch will either dust the field, or blow someone's doors off on a late restart.

Fancy Flower Thank You Card
By: Tiffany Hood for Lifestyle Crafts
Nothing shows your appreciation like cute handmade thank you cards. With this Fancy Flower Thank You Card by Lifestyle Crafts, you're sure to make an impression on the receiver. Take the time to make your own greeting cards.
- Letterpress Starter Kit
- Grey Cardstock
- A2 Letterpress Paper
- Blossoms printing plate
- Yellow and Gray Ink
- Nesting Circle die
- Using the Blossoms printing plate and Yellow ink, apply the floral pattern onto an A2 piece of letterpress paper.
- Using the 'Thank You' piece that comes with the Letterpress Starter Kit, print the sentiment with Gray ink onto a white strip of letterpress paper. Cut the edges making a simple flag.
- Using the Nesting Circle die and cardstock, create the layered flower. Cut out various sizes of circles, then crumple each one up several times to loosen the fibers in the cardstock. After 4-5 times, the cardstock will start to separate. Peel the circle, separating the layers, until you now have two circles. The two insides that were once touching each other now look like "faux suede." Layer all the flowers on top of each other with all the "faux suede" sides facing up, and crinkle the edges as desired.
- Assemble all of the pieces using adhesive.

As a programmer, looking for programming tips to expand your knowledge in the field of computers is very crucial. It may help you become more creative with your ideas in making websites or games. Everybody knows that making websites is very difficult. It would take them months to make the project even then the site will not be completely finished and will not have some modifications. That is why getting information from books or from the internet is very important because it can help every programmer in the world to become flawless.
Sometimes when you are dropping by at popular websites, you can get some ideas that you can use on your very own website for adjustments. This will then help you attract people to drop by at your site and earn a lot of views. Views are important and they will vary depending on how your site was made. There are a lot of things to base this from and one of them is the structure and purpose of the site. It could either be for gaming or an informational site. Getting ideas from other places are also considered as programming tips however, you just need to make sure that the thing that you copied must not be an exact copy of the original.
It's important to keep not only your mind fit but your body as well. I know as well as anyone that life as a programmer can be lazy. If you need an extra boost, try using something from weightlosspunch. This principle also applies well when making games. Even when concepts of games now have become very familiar to each other, making differences even in small ways could matter. Example, there are now a lot of horror games. Zombies have now become so redundant and most of them are now included in the category of horror and every creator would think the very same thing. If ever you expand your mind in imagination and look for more creative programming tips, maybe you can make some other things that are new and might work well.
In order to become an expert in programming, one must have originality. This is something that almost everyone lacks but for the truth is this is actually a hard thing to keep up with. Since there are thousands of programmers in the world and of course, some of the ideas may sometimes cross each other making the other one think that they might have stolen your concept. Things can be very complicated when you have a job like this but if you look for more programming tips and take time to do it maybe you can find something that will then shock a huge number of people. Another way to pick up on basic tips on programming is just checking out other sites and seeing what they use and how they use the basic programs like African Mango Diet Information.

Excellent blog post
I feel that optimal design in built environments is critical to the quality-of-life of patients with dementia. I think a lot can be done to tie up art and design principles, to maximizing the orientation of patients, which has been shown to be a determinant of quality-of-life of patients with dementia.
I have written on this recently, and I would be most grateful for any feedback:
I find that architects, designers and artists are adamant in not letting their creativity become stifled by people like me who are neuroscientists in dementia!

Rays Fever
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting Suncoast Scribe!
As we close in on tonight's World Series game, people around the Tampa Bay area are alive with the excitement that tends to unify a region. It's funny to think about last season or even the beginning of this season and how people all over the area looked at the Tampa Bay Rays as a colossal joke. You never saw Rays t-shirts being worn. They could not even give away tickets to the game. And now…, now everyone is their biggest fan.
The irony amuses me.
At the same time, I love seeing the excitement in the kids at school. Even at my daughter's elementary school I can find signs that say "Go Rays!" nearly everywhere I look. At the high school, the kids are more subtle, but the excitement is surely bubbling underneath the surface.
I haven't watched any of the games, but I do wish the Rays the best of luck,. It would be thrilling to see them win the big one. This is such a young, enthusiastic team. They know they have a lot to prove and it's been encouraging watching all that pay off for them.

Help fund the first Multiplex print collection and get awesome rewards and access to exclusive content in the process!
About this project
I've been doing Multiplex — an online comic strip about life at a movie theater — on the interweb for over four years now, and one question I keep getting asked is, "When are you going to do a print book?" The answer is, "I'm already working on it!" But in order to put together the best book possible, I needed to touch up the art in a few of the oldest strips and create a lot of new material to fill out gaps in the page layout and flesh out the story a little bit — and that requires a lot of time.… Time that being a full-time freelancer (no paid vacation!) does not grant me enough of.
Enter: Kickstarter. By pledging and joining the Multiplex: Book 1 Club of Awesome, you get Fun! Rewards! in exchange for buying me the time to complete the copious amounts of new material for the Multiplex book and help me fund the print run of the book itself — and if you pledge a bit extra, you can even get drawn into the prequel story or get hand-drawn sketches! Backers will also get status updates on my progress as I work on the book, advance peeks at the new material produced for the book — and who knows what else? Exclusive bonus strips? Discounts on Multiplex Store merchandise? You'll have to pledge to find out!
For a taste of what the print book will be like, hop over to the Multiplex site and check out the Multiplex: Chapter 1 eBook (requires Flash). Multiplex: Book 1 will be comprised of the first five "Chapter" eBooks — collecting a total of the first 102 strips, character bios for the main cast, and tons of bonus strips — PLUS, an all-new exclusive "prequel" story set before Multiplex #1 and revolving around the release of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. The book will be oversized at approximately 8" x 10.5" and run about 196 pages in length.
As for a time frame, I can't get more specific than "as soon as possible." I'd love to have it finished in time for C2E2 in April, but that seems unlikely, because of how much time it will take to finish the new material and get it all printed up. I would like it ready in time for the Windy City Comicon in September, 2010, at the absolute latest, though. However long it takes, pledgers will be kept in the loop at every stage of the process!
Thank you!
Gordon McAlpin Notes about Backer Rewards:
• As a thank you for making any pledge at all, you will receive free copies of the first two Multiplex eBooks! You can get a coupon code for the first eBook by using the coupon code in the first backers-only update post at the Multiplex Store.) A code for the second eBook will be posted as well, when the book is available (hopefully sometime next month).
• Since I can't edit the reward descriptions, I wanted to add that for the character sketch ($100 level and up), you may also request a non-Multiplex character, or maybe a Multiplex character dressed up as a non-Multiplex character. I'm flexible. Non-US/Canada backers, please add the following amounts for shipping:
$30 pledge = add $10 $50–200 pledges = add $15 $400 pledge = add $20
YES, my Kickstarter funds were taxable. Due to a very specific set of circumstances, I was able to push my tax burden on the funds from 2009 to 2010: my funds posted very late in December, but since I did not need them until January, by not transferring the funds from my Amazon Payments account to my business checking account after the New Year and using a cash method of account (as opposed to an accrual method).
Please ask an accountant or tax advisor if you need any further explanation.
