Blending the smooth and sophisticated lines of the upscale Kia Optima with the practical and muscular cues of the Kia Sportage, the Rio 5-door combines performance, roominess, comfort and cargo-carrying versatility in one beautifully designed package.
Starting with the 2015 model year, Natural Resources Canada in conjunction with the automotive manufacturers, have introduced a new testing procedure that will result in higher fuel consumption ratings that are more representative of everyday driving. Kia Canada is one of the first automotive manufacturers to implement the new testing practice and would like to ensure you fully understand the difference. The new procedure incorporates 3 additional test cycles that account for air conditioner usage, cold temperature operation, and higher speeds with more rapid acceleration and braking.
To learn more, please visit: http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca/fcr-rcf/public/index-e.cfm
Performance-inspired 17-inch alloy wheels are available to complete Rio 5-door's sporty overall design.

Good googly moogly. We're here already? It never ceases to amaze me how quickly every year seems to end after Halloween. You're back at the house, watching your little kids frolic in a sea of diabetes, and the next thing you know, you're wrapping presents and wondering if there are any bars open on Christmas.
What a year 2013 has been. This was the year that officially made me feel like I don't know anything anymore. There were several bad judges decisions that were universally seen as bad. But there were also a few that I thought were terrible and NOBODY agreed with me (with Kyung Ho Kang-Chico Camus being the main one I can think of off the top of my head). The problem is, I didn't have anyone to argue with, because none of my friends are into MMA anymore. So, why not spew my arguments out at the internet? Those were bad decisions, internet! Also, Anderson Silva got knocked the hell out. That, too.
We're gonna tackle submissions, knockouts, and fights of the year. The big three. I was going to punch up a list of the biggest robberies, but that would be A) too long and time consuming and B) too depressing. Let's keep it positive this holiday season. Onto the awards!
Stay tuned for the rest of my awards over the next week or so.
Get ready for it, sluggers.
Submission of the Year
Kenny Robertson def. Brock Jardine via kneebar @ UFC 157 (2:57, rd. 1)
Big style points go to Kenny for this one. To see this even attempted was compelling, but to see it pulled off with fight ending brutality almost instantly was pretty nice.
Also, it looked like it really, really hurt. You want your subs of the year to involve both pain and innovation, and it's safe to say that this one nailed both. Also, for some reason, Kenny Robertson follows me on Twitter. So he's cool for that, too. Follow me @mma_movement, and follow Kenny @170Kenny. Your life will be better.
Fabricio Werdum def. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira via armbar @ UFC on Fuel TV 10 (2:41, rd. 2)
2013 was the year MMA fans actually expected Nogueira to be submitted. And submitted he was. Fabricio Werdum is just a much better MMA fighter at this point, and he had the added motivation of having his ass completely kicked by Nogueira in PRIDE all those years ago.
At least this one didn't end with Nogueira basically losing a limb, although it definitely would have 5 years ago because he wouldn't have tapped. Fabricio Werdum is a monster, and we should all treat him as such.
All of Urijah Faber's chokes (3 this year)
You have to give it up for the California Kid. As I wrote in an earlier piece, the guy is just a hustler. It's also becoming more and more rare to see a guy go for a guillotine and actually think to yourself "He's gonna get this." The futility of the guillotine is reaching neck crank proportions. When guys go for it now, I just think "Stop it. You're just trying to look like you're a semi-competent MMA fighter, when you and I both know you're needlessly squeezing on this guy's chin. You shouldn't be doing that, and you DEFINITELY shouldn't have intentionally dropped onto your butt to go for it."
It's a little different when guys are able to get it and roll their opponents into mount; then, and only then, is there a chance to take it seriously.
Not with Urijah. That guy has an amazing squeeze, and he has several methods of putting you in position to show that squeeze off. Michael McDonald was obviously hurt before Urijah choked him, but the way he instantaneously latched onto Michael's neck … you just knew. You can't say that about many fighters.
Patrick Ybarra def. Billy Buch by via flying armbar @ Legacy 17 (1:29, rd. 1)
Hold onto your seats, folks … that's right, it's the first time in the history of Earth that Michael Schiavello undersold a stoppage. And a crazy flying armbar, no less! You would have thought he'd have lost control of his bowels. But no. He just kind of watched it and went "And he goes for the armbar … and he gets the tap … did I leave the iron on?"
Go to 4:15 …
Anthony Pettis def. Benson Henderson via armbar @ UFC 164 (4:31, rd. 1)
Here is the MMA Movement's 2013 submission of the year. From the outset, Anthony Pettis looked like he meant business, as he repeatedly stuffed the takedown attempts of Henderson and slammed a million kicks into his body in rapid succession. When Bendo finally did complete a takedown, Pettis swiveled his hips and had Henderson tapping before he even knew what happened.
This wasn't some crazy technique that Pettis had to reach deep into his bag of tricks to pull off; it was just your basic armbar from guard. But the speed and fluidity with which it was executed was stunning. Ben Henderson isn't exactly Pete Spratt when it comes to defending submissions; he's one of the toughest guys on the planet to tap in an MMA context. Pettis made it look easy, and he made all of us gape at his acumen in awe. Anthony Pettis went out there and became somebody.

Hi guys, I have a 05 1.8 tdci focus, last week the engine warning light came on, when I start up it's off, but whenever I get to around 2000 revs it comes on and car feels sluggish. It does not want to go over 2000 revs and feels a little like it's running out of diesel?? Any ideas
Thanks Jimmy

Ironically, while critics were accusing him of being too obscure, some longtime fans accused him of pandering to the masses. Last year, to Internet grumbles, Rock made an unusual foray into corporate America by composing a 45-minute-long track for the Nike+iPod Sports Kit. (For those legions of indie rap enthusiasts, apparently.) Meanwhile, upon its August release, None Shall Pass sold 13,200 copies in its first week — more than any previous Rock album — and debuted at number 50 on the Billboard 200. In its third week, it got a bump when Rock was chosen as MTV's Artist of the Week. Indie-mentality fans peppered the comments section on Rock's MySpace page with quips such as "That sucks you had to sell out for MTV."
"I can't really pretend that I understand that," Rock responds. "It was funny, and somewhat to be expected, but it made zero sense. You think [MTV] paid me? Of course they didn't. [But] we're not going to turn down that much free promotion. I still have some old bills at home."
Whether it's stepping gently into the mainstream or moving across the country, a more apt phrase to describe Rock's behavior might be growing up. This applies to the future of his songwriting as well. "I want to try to do rap songs about things that have never even been discussed in the world of hip-hop," he says, mapping out plans for possible projects down the line. "I had this vision of songs that feel like they should be told around a campfire — ghost stories or tall tales kind of things."
There are subjects even scarier than turning 30 and getting married, it seems.

Arkansas River Fly Fishing Report - Colorado Springs Gazette
Do you think you know everything there is to know about the Arkansas River? Here's a recent spring fly fishing report that might raise your eyebrows.
Fly Fishing Report: Cheesman Canyon May 12
Photo Reid Baker
Fly Fishing – It's what our guides do on their days off. Reid Baker, our Guide Manager, spent his day off scouting and fishing the section of the South Platte River that flows through Cheesman Canyon. He provided the following report for the Trouts contingent.
Spotlight: Carp on the Fly
Photo: Carp on the Fly
"I used to be a respectable angler...now I fly fish for carp."
- John Montana
If you have been in the fly fishing carp game – or idly standing on the banks or sidelines watching from afar – the name John Montana should ring a bell. The blog Carp on the Fly should be on your radar screen if it isn't already.
Deckers Fly Fishing Report in Black and White
We fished the Gold Medal water section of the South Platte River on Wednesday May 8th. The weather was dynamic – we had periods of sun, sporadic cloud cover, thunder showers, followed by a steady drizzle of rain – AKA – great spring fishing conditions. Here is the full fly fishing report and a few photos from our day.

Interested in finding a guide service that specializes in targeting carp on the fly? Check out flycarpin.com. We know that a lot of our readers and followers live outside of Colorado. This site has one of the only comprehensive carp-on-the-fly guide service directories for the United States that we know about - and a ton of other great related content. Good stuff for all of you aspiring carp junkies.
Fly Fishing For Carp In the Denver South Platte River - Part II
In the first part of this series, we talked about the Denver South Platte River as a carp fishery as well as the fly fishing gear you'll need to get started on the water. In this installment, we'll cover the basics of carp physiology to help you understand what makes them tick - and what they naturally eat.
Around town and on the South Platte River, Barry Reynolds known simply as "the Godfather." At Trouts Guide Service, Barry is our go-to guy for carp trips and other "cool water" adventures. We had a chance to sit down with Barry to talk about what inspired him to start his carp odyssey, tips and tricks he's learned along the way and what he has up his sleeve for the fishing season in 2013.
Help Protect Our Rivers
If you fly fish in Colorado pay attention to this: with strong bipartisan support, the Colorado General Assembly has passed Senate Bill 224 to create the Protect Our Rivers license plate. The plate will be available to all CO residents through a tax-deductible contribution of $25 to Colorado Trout Unlimited and 100% of the funds will be used locally to protect, conserve and restore Colorado rivers. Here's what you can do if you support this effort and Colorado TU: sign the CTU...

Location: Seaport Hotel and World Trade Center, Boston, MA
Description: The goal of the 2010 Progeria Research Foundation (PRF) Workshop was to provide a platform to assemble clinicians and scientists, integrate their findings, and facilitate new directions within both clinical and basic science research. The main focus was to bring basic and clinical scientists together to promote collaboration and progress in progeria research. It is the only meeting of its kind and is essential for promoting a bench to bedside view of the field and productive discussion between basic and translational scientists regarding not only progeria but also aging and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Importantly, it provided a forum for examining simultaneously in vitro studies, mouse model studies, and as yet unpublished human treatment trial outcomes. Progeria research is at a pinnacle, with more peer-reviewed papers emerging than ever before, with three clinical trials in progress, and with a plethora of new data examining the links between Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), aging, and CVD. The 2010 PRF workshop provided an exciting forum for sharing data and ideas about how to continue pushing toward a greater understanding of how these fields relate to one another. -

NYDN – The Daily News has learned that Tebow, who captivated the NFL last season with his miracle playoff run in Denver, will request to be traded or released after the season assuming that McElroy starts the final two games. Tebow's desire to part ways with a franchise that never gave him a chance came to a head after McElroy, who has seven career passes on his NFL resume, leapfrogged him, according to a source.
As much as I love bashing the Jets organization for how they've handled the quarterback controversy, this is my favorite part of the whole saga. Tim Tebow demanding a trade. Hilarious. Or what, Tim? Whats gonna happen if the Jets don't meet your demands? Gonna refuse to hold the clipboard for McElroy? If you guys don't trade me, I will refuse to go in on special teams during punts! Thats the last time you'll ever see Tim Tebow run for a loss 4 times a game, New York! Gimme a break, Tim. Can't wait for David Carr to demand a trade too.
Trade him for a 34th round pick. Cut him for nothing. Eat his money. Whatever. Just can't wait for this fucking Tim Tebow experiment to be over. When you really think about it, it may have been the most dramatic waste of time in sports history. Aside from wasting four years on Mark Sanchez, of course.

5 Toxic Stocks to Sell Before Bernanke Talk Tomorrow
BALTIMORE ( Stockpickr) -- Well, he's already got the beard -- if Wall Street analysts are right, we may as well get Ben Bernanke a red suit too. That's because analysts are expecting Bernanke to announce that the Fed is shoving $45 billion a month in Mr. Market's stocking tomorrow.
>>5 "Magic Formula" Stocks for 2013
That much treasury buying would push the Fed's balance sheet to $4 trillion...
For the last four years, the Fed has made a big statement about what they want to happen in the markets. By keeping interest rates low and fuelling inflation by printing cash, the Fed has opted to encourage an equity rally by punishing savers. But dumping cash into treasuries can have unintended effects -- in the past couple of years, that's meant that skittish investors have piled into treasuries too in spite of the toxic effects of negative real rates.
We've been in a return of capital rather than a return on capital environment, after all. And while tomorrow's Fed action may well spark buying pressure in stocks, some stocks are going to benefit more than others. A lot more. That's why, today, we're taking a technical look at five names that could be toxic for your portfolio this winter. To be fair, the companies I'm talking about today aren't exactly "junk." I mean, they're not next up in line at bankruptcy court. But that's frankly irrelevant; from a technical analysis standpoint, they're some of the worst positioned names out there right now. For that reason, fundamental investors need to decide how long they're willing to take the pain if they want to hold onto these firms this Fall. And for investors looking to buy one of these positions, it makes sense to wait for more favorable technical conditions (and a lower share price) before piling in. >>5 Stocks Insiders are Stashing For the unfamiliar, technical analysis is a way for investors to quantify qualitative factors, such as investor psychology, based on a stock's price action and trends. Once the domain of cloistered trading teams on Wall Street, technicals can help top traders make consistently profitable trades and can aid fundamental investors in better planning their stock execution. So, without further ado, let's take a look at five "toxic stocks" you should be unloading in December.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Shell casts net wide for Prelude staff
PUBLISHED: 07 Sep 2010 13:28:04 | UPDATED: 08 Sep 2010 04:00:12PRINT EDITION: 07 Sep 2010
Royal Dutch Shell says it will look to non-traditional sources for labour for its Prelude floating liquefied natural gas project off Western Australia.
The move comes amid expectations Chevron's massive Gorgon LNG project will hog skilled workers.
The Prelude field, some 475km north-northeast of Broome, is set to be the world's first floating LNG development when it begins production in 2016.
Shell executive vice-president of Upstream Australia, Ann Pickard, says the energy giant expects to make a final investment decision to proceed with Prelude in the next few months.
Gorgon, which is 25 per cent held by Shell, is expected to start production in 2014 and create 10,000 direct and indirect employment opportunities at peak construction.
Ms Pickard told a business briefing in Perth on Tuesday that Shell would cast a wide net to find staff for the Prelude development.
"I see Roy (Krzywosinski, managing director of Chevron Australia) and my good friends from Chevron were at one of our refineries the other day recruiting for Gorgon," Ms Pickard joked during the presentation.
"Gorgon is running a couple of years ahead of us, so I think they'll get a (processing) train up and we'll get them back.
"While we're competitors, we're also colleagues ... and I think that is a really good challenge.
"We will be going into Australia to non-traditional (sources), say the mines and refining industries and the other trades, to look for operators."
She said Shell would over the next five years send 200 people to LNG plants around the world, along with deepwater plants and marine institutions to gain the necessary skills.
Ms Pickard said Australia was poised to take the lead with new generation oil and gas developments, but it wasn't as stable a jurisdiction as perceived by some.
"The stars may have aligned for Australia," she said.
"The gas was discovered decades ago but the combination of one, the technology and two, the market being available, have come together to provide the opportunity for Australia to move into the forefront."
But Australia's gas renaissance may not happen if "above-ground risks" like tax regime changes scare off the industry.
Ms Pickard said Nigeria, one of Shell's prime investment destinations, tried to introduce a new tax code and lost about $100 billion worth of oil and gas investment over the past five years.
She said "above-ground risks" in WA included petroleum retention licence issues, unions and changing fiscal regimes.
However, customers would queue up for Australian gas to diversify their gas sources from the other two majors suppliers, the Middle East and Russia.
"They like to not have all their eggs in one basket."
Ms Pickard also made an offhand comment that Shell was not preparing to take over LNG-focused Woodside Petroleum Ltd, which is 34 per cent held by the Dutch company.
"We are not getting ready to buy it again," she said.
Shell failed to gain control of Woodside in 2001 when the Australian government blocked the move, citing national interest issues.
Recent media reports speculated that Shell and BHP Billiton Ltd were preparing a joint bid for Woodside last year.

The Chesapeake Sailing Yacht Symposium is the world's longest running technical forum dedicated to advancing the study of the art and science of sailing yacht design technology. Professional yacht designers and a wide variety of sailing enthusiasts travel from around the world to attend the CSYS Symposia to present papers and exchange ideas on sailing.
The Twenty First CSYS was a terrific success, with sixteen presentations by authors from around the world. On Friday, the more technical papers were presented and included studies of sailboats using towing tanks, wind tunnels, field measurements and computational modeling. Prof. Lex Keuning surprised many in the audience with his announcement that Delft University will now make the entire raw data sets from each of their Systematic Yacht Hull Series available to the public, online and at no cost – www.dsyhs.tudelft.nl

Titanic buffs: Check out Molly Brown suite at Hotel Colorado in Glenwood Springs
Posted By Kyle Wagner On April 11, 2012 @ 4:31 pm In News | No Comments
Last week's stay at the Hotel Colorado in Glenwood Springs [5] was lovely, and found us not in the Molly Brown suite but intrigued by it nonetheless.
This multi-room Tower suite — which includes a parlor and period furniture and has two balconies — is filled with rare photographs of the Unsinkable herself and pictures from her travels, and also has Titanic-related items, such as replicas of the china from the ship, with a menu from First Class. Rates start at $349 a night, according to the availability of the nights I tried to book online.
Brown visited Glenwood and the hotel after her husband, James Joseph Brown, struck it rich. She wouldn't have been able to have a drink in the cozy bar, because it has since been remodeled, but it was fun to hang out around the elaborately decorated spaces and imagine a different, more formal way of life. Presidents William Howard Taft and Theodore Roosevelt also slept here.
We stayed in a different suite, smaller but just as comfortable — they're quite spacious, and it's easy to get carried away by the old-timey feel of the place. It's within easy walking distance of the hot springs, and the bridge to town is right across the street. There's a coffee shop on-site, along with a nice restaurant that serves three meals daily.
Our only complaint? The mini-refrigerator, despite being set at its lowest possible, froze all of our snack foods.
The Titanic tragedy — the 100th anniversary of which comes up April 15, and is explored in about 100 interesting ways by The Denver Post [7] — kind of puts that into perspective, however.

Normally it's the other way around; "what do we get our clients for Christmas"? who would have thought that our clients put as much thought in what to get us as we do them?
It got me thinking about some of the gifts I'd received from clients over the years:
- Coffee machine (I mentioned it once to a client)
- Alcohol (Mostly wine)
- Charity donations in my name (This was cool)
- Sweets (a huge basket of randoms…that I later 're-gifted')
- Clothes (T-shirts and socks)
- Gift certificates (My favorite)
- Cash (Wait…this was my favorite! :))
- Movie vouchers (Great FOR clients as well)
- Books (Usually something a client had read through the year that I'd shown interest in; books are always awesome)
It's not something I really ever thought about as a personal trainer; it's always about my clients, but we do develop special relationships and I'm sure all of you guys have received gifts over the years.
What types of Christmas gifts have you received from clients? Have you ever dropped hints or made a request? Have your clients ever straight up asked you what you would like for Christmas and how did you respond?
For the benefit of clients visiting My Business Is Fitness, it would be awesome if you guys could list some of the gifts you've received over the years in the comments section below; I'm sure they'd be extremely grateful for the help.

Sooner rather than later: that's the philosophy emphasized by assisted living marketers currently battling high turnover rates, as per this Senior Housing News article.
Making the transition from living independently to an assisted living residence is difficult for most seniors, no matter how positive the impact of more care and assistance may be. Consequently, ALFA (Assisted Living Federation of America) spokesperson Jamison Gosselin recommends industry sales & marketing professionals focus on "all the ways it [assisted living] can improve the life of the senior."
Besides the challenge of the transition process, the still unstable housing market and the high cost of assisted living (average cost: $2,575/month) are two of the biggest obstacles impeding entry to assisted living communities, says Jim Janicki from Virginia-based Riverside Health Systems.
These concerns weigh on the minds – and wallets – of the seniors and their adult children, often at the expense of the assisted living facility (and eventually the families themselves). Says Janicki, "Delaying too long means a shortened stay in assisted living, as residents must transition into facilities better equipped to provide higher levels of care."
Currently the median annual resident turnover rate is 46.8 percent; in 2009, it was 42 percent, according to the 2011 State of Senior Housing report. Janicki estimates an average of $4,000 in costs per residence for each turnover.

As the production of engineered nanomaterials quantitatively expands, the chance that workers involved in the manufacturing process will be exposed to nanoparticles also increases. A risk management system is needed for workplaces in the nanomaterial industry based on the precautionary principle. One of the problems in the risk management system is difficulty of exposure assessment. In this article, examples of exposure assessment in nanomaterial industries are reviewed with a focus on distinguishing engineered nanomaterial particles from background nanoparticles in workplace atmosphere. An approach by JNIOSH (Japan National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health) to quantitatively measure exposure to carbonaceous nanomaterials is also introduced. In addition to real-time measurements and qualitative analysis by electron microscopy, quantitative chemical analysis is necessary for quantitatively assessing exposure to nanomaterials. Chemical analysis is suitable for quantitative exposure measurement especially at facilities with high levels of background NPs.

Why Salesforce.com Stock Remains a Steal at Under $65
NEW YORK (TheStreet) –- Why are shares of a technology company that reported 40% revenue growth only up about 9% the day after?
That's the problem with Salesforce.com (CRM - Get Report) Friday despite being an incredible growth story that could provide a buying opportunity for savvy investors.
After all, Twitter (TWTR) shares jumped more than 20% after it posted better-than-expected results. Yet, Twitter is not growing nearly as fast as Salesforce, which is a leader in its market.

To me, Salesforce's second-quarter earnings, reported late Thursday, removed any doubt CEO Marc Benioff plans to concede any market share to new cloud entrants. Yet, there's that Wall Street reaction. Shares, at close to $61, are up 10% for the year to date. The stock is still below my target of $65 per share. The stock still trails the tech sector's 10% gain, according to Morningstar, and is down more than 1% since the beginning of July. Why?Consider, the company is growing almost every important metric by more than 30%. During the quarter, Salesforce generated $246 million in cash, up 34% year over year. The company posted deferred revenue of $2.35 billion, up 31%. And when you factor the $5 billion of unbilled and deferred revenue (revenue under contract but not yet on the books), Salesforce is undervalued by at least 10%. Has Wall Street become less enthused with Benioff's growth-at-all-cost mentality? To some extent this may be why shares of Salesforce have suffered since July. What I think is important to consider is the degree to which Benioff can extract higher long-term profits from Salesforce's increased market share. With the company projecting full-year revenue growth to be between 31% and 32%, a few basis point increases in gross margin can turn Salesforce into a strong profit producer. Salesforce's ability to differentiate from more mature enterprise giants like IBM (IBM) and Oracle (ORCL) gives it an advantage that customers can't be without. Its ability to manage cloud functions like sales, marketing and big data analytics is helping CIOs save a ton of money. Salesforce has shown it doesn't mind undercutting IBM and Oracle because the Customer Relationship Management market is expected to grow to $24 billion this year and by another 50% in three years, according to research firm Gartner. Salesforce has guided accordingly. The company understands that despite how much IBM or Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) may boast about their respective cloud offerings, Salesforce will remain a disruptor. The company's subscription platform is the new standard -- replacing traditional contracts and bundled licenses. Read More: Salesforce.com Pops: What Wall Street's Saying The way I see it, Salesforce's cloud dominance has only begun. That management has raised guidance four times in the past four quarters affirms there is no sign of Salesforce slowing down. Follow @Richard_WSPB TheStreet Ratings team rates SALESFORCE.COM INC as a Hold with a ratings score of C. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate SALESFORCE.COM INC (CRM) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed ? some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, good cash flow from operations and expanding profit margins. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including unimpressive growth in net income and generally higher debt management risk."
Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 11.6%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 37.4%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 67.05% to $473.09 million when compared to the same quarter last year. The firm also exceeded the industry average cash flow growth rate of 40.82%.
- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, regardless of the company's weak earnings results. Despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year, there is currently no conclusive evidence that warrants the purchase or sale of this stock.
- Despite currently having a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.53, it is higher than that of the industry average, inferring that management of debt levels may need to be evaluated further. Even though the debt-to-equity ratio shows mixed results, the company's quick ratio of 0.48 is very low and demonstrates very weak liquidity.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Software industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 43.1% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from -$67.72 million to -$96.91 million.

or just have a look here [qtcentre.org]
yes I have… the following code I have does not seem to work. I checked under the memory window after the memmove function but do not see the result I am expecting.
- struct_MtrTxMsgType TX_Msg;
- int txcnt, rcvLen;
- QByteArray TX_Buffer;
- TX_Buffer.resize(2049);
- QByteArray RX_Buffer;
- RX_Buffer.resize(2049);
- bool ok;
- memset(&TX_Msg.WakeUp[0], 0xFE, sizeof(TX_Msg.WakeUp));
- TX_Msg.Header = 0x68;
- TX_Msg.Address[0] = 0x09;
- TX_Msg.Address[1] = 0x90;
- TX_Msg.Address[2] = 0x78;
- TX_Msg.Address[3] = 0x56;
- TX_Msg.Address[4] = 0x34;
- TX_Msg.Address[5] = 0x12;
- TX_Msg.Delimeter = 0x68;
- TX_Msg.R_W = 0x01;
- TX_Msg.DataLength = 0x02;
- memmove((void *)TX_Buffer.data(), &TX_Msg, sizeof(TX_Msg));
Tobias, hm, I mostly saying that from my point of view memmove and other c things should be used now only if you are know what you are doing (e.g. if you need to speed up your memory management). In common cases such low-level work is not needed. And in case of mixing memmove for initializing data and using QByteArray to work with it I think initial speedup from memmove will be neglected by QByteArray abstractions.
Denis: You are right that you should not need these low level functionality 95% of the time… but it is still very useful for the last 5%:-)
I actually do not think that the QByteArray overhead is that big by the way (I did not do any measurements though), it is just a wrapper around a piece of memory after all. Resizing the buffer is of course expensive and needs to be avoided.
phamtv: You did read the documentation of QByteArray [doc.trolltech.com], didn't you? It states quite clearly how to access its buffer.
yes I have read the QByteArray document. I am still puzzled on the benefits of a QByteArray. My background with byte arrays have always been something similar to quint8 arr[] in which I can later cast to whatever my data structure is. Besides dynamic resizing of the array size, are there any other advantages to QByteArray over the quint8[]? Also, is it true that if I use the QByteArray, I should use the qMemCopy/qMemSet from QtCore/QtGlobal instead of the memmove, memcpy???
To quote the documentation:
QByteArray can be used to store both raw bytes (including '\0's) and traditional 8-bit '\0'-terminated strings. Using QByteArray is much more convenient than using const char *. Behind the scenes, it always ensures that the data is followed by a '\0' terminator, and uses implicit sharing (copy-on-write) to reduce memory usage and avoid needless copying of data.
Using QByteArray or not does not matter for qMemCopy or memcpy. The first is just a wrapper around the latter anyway. qMemCopy will be there wherever Qt is available, and it is in a Qt header which is included in almost all Qt code.

- 1/2 cup(s) sugar
- 2 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
- 3 ounce(s) semisweet chocolate, melted and cooled
- 4 ounce(s) (about 1 cup) salted shelled pistachios, ground to a paste in a food processor
- 1 large egg white
- 1/8 teaspoon(s) pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of coarse salt
- 6 ounce(s) bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon(s) vegetable shortening
- Slivered, unsalted, shelled pistachios (optional), for garnish
- Make filling: Bring 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved; set aside.
- Put egg yolks in the heatproof bowl of an electric mixer set over a pan of simmering water. Whisk by hand until yolks are warm to the touch, about 2 minutes. Fit mixer with the whisk attachment. Mix yolks on medium speed; pour in sugar syrup. Raise speed to high; mix until mixture is cool and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to medium; drizzle in melted chocolate. Refrigerate until firm, about 45 minutes.
- Make cookies: Put pistachio paste and rest of sugar in the clean bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until smooth. Mix in the egg white, vanilla, and salt.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Transfer dough to a pastry bag fitted with a small (about 1/4 inch) plain round tip (such as Ateco #10). Pipe 1-inch rounds onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing about 1 inch apart.
- Bake cookies until firm and golden around edges, about 10 minutes. Transfer on parchment to a wire rack, and let cool completely.
- Place cookies, bottom sides up, on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Spread 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons chocolate filling on bottom of half of the cookies. Sandwich with remaining cookies. Freeze 1 hour.
- Make glaze: Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Add shortening; stir until combined. Let cool, stirring, until mixture is lukewarm.
- Using a chocolate fork or regular fork, hold 1 cookie at a time above bowl of chocolate glaze. Spoon glaze over cookie, letting excess drip back into bowl. Transfer to a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Garnish with slivered pistachios. Refrigerate until set, 5 minutes. Cookies can be refrigerated in single layers in airtight containers up to 3 days.

The RFP to be the 2015-2016 SCYP Partner is now open!
Big Idea
Cities often lack the funds and knowledge to implement innovative sustainability projects. College students have professional-level training and a need for practical work. SCYP brings these two traditionally unrelated entities together in an exciting interdisciplinary partnership.
What is it?
The Sustainable City Year Program (SCYP) links the students of the University of Oregon with an Oregon city, county, special district, or partnership of governments for an entire academic year.
Each year, a partner city receives assistance with their sustainability goals through the work of student classes across the University. In a typical year, 400+ students from 10-12 disciplines across 20-30 classes might work on 15-20 partner-directed projects, devoting 40,000+ hours of work to helping a local entity transition to a more sustainable future.
Now in its sixth year, SCYP is enabling cities to reach their sustainability goals in an affordable manner while transforming higher education into an arena where students can learn through real-life problem solving.
See examples of past student projects in the SCYP Project Portfolio.
Praise for SCYP
SCYP has been described as "perhaps the most comprehensive effort by a U.S. university to infuse sustainability into its curricula and community outreach" (NY Times - full article) and "one of higher education's most successful and comprehensive service-learning programs" (Chronicle of Higher Education - full article).
Become the next Sustainable City Year partner!
Are you involved in an Oregon city, county, special district, or partnership of governments? Become the next Sustainable City Year partner! Check out the webpage!
Want to implement a similar program at your institution?
The SCY model is flexible and scalable. It takes advantage of existing academic courses and university expertise. The program is administratively streamlined, requires no curriculum changes, and is culturally appropriate, applying local expertise to local needs.
SCI's annual Sustainable City Year conference will help you launch an equivalent Sustainable City Year program at your university by giving you the details and strategies that have allowed Oregon's program model to succeed in what is otherwise a typical university environment. Students are demanding more service-learning experiences, cities desperately need assistance, and universities must adapt to a changing landscape for higher education. The Sustainable City Year has become a model to integrate all three issues and this conference is aimed to help you do the same.
Conference attendees participate in sessions that explain how the SCY program is organized at the University of Oregon and meet with staff from cities that have previously partnered with us. Workshop sessions and follow-up support will enable your university to engage with local communities to improve sustainability and livability.
Service learning programs based the SCYP model have been created in more than 15 states!

Eating our words
(Read article summary)Ever wonder when 'pad thai' was added to the Oxford English Dictionary? It was 1978.
Cooked Books
Merguez, orecchiette, tikka masala, veggie. What do those words have in common? They were all added to the Oxford English Dictionary in the same year, 1975.
Ryan Haley, an editor at Ugly Duckling Presse and librarian in the Art Division of New York Public Library (and born in 1975), recently published a limited edition artist's book. In Autobiography, Volume One (1975-1993), he documents the first eighteen years of his life by chronologically listing the words added to the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) in that time period.
On its website, the OED is described as "an unsurpassed guide to the meaning, history, and pronunciation of over half a million words, both past and present," and is the considered to be "the definitive record of the English language." Every year the OED adds new words to the dictionary, thereby cementing that word or phrase to the annals of history. When compiled together, as in this project, the list of words reads like a time capsule capturing the social history of a given year. And while most (if not all) of the added words had been in use before their entry date, their addition to the OED represents when they became more commonly used in the English language.
I was fascinated with the food words in this project, and how certain themes clearly emerge, specifically coffee drinks, ethnic foods, and name brands. For example: Espresso-macchiato and latte macchiato (1976), Shake 'n Bake (1976), kir royale (1977), pad thai (1978), pasta fagioli (1980), amuse-bouche (1982), microbrew (1985).

The city of Pleasant Ridge will elect its first new mayor in 20 years next month. Residents must decide between two non-partisan candidates who agree on many key issues, but have different approaches. And the dividing line in the battle for mayor is drawn down Woodward Avenue.
If you turn east off of Woodward as you pass through Pleasant Ridge you'll find bungalows and Tudor-style homes from the 1920s, the vast majority of which have signs urging a vote for Kurt Metzger for mayor. Head west off of Woodward and you'll find large houses and yards, immaculately maintained, many of them with signs supporting Frank Rubino.
Rubino says Pleasant Ridge is a quiet, quaint place to live. Rubino is currently serving as a city commissioner. He's been working alongside longtime mayor Ralph Castelli. Rubino says his working relationship with Castelli helped spur his own interest in running for mayor.
"Sitting next to [Castelli] for the last four years, he said I think you should fill this seat because of your past experience and knowledge, and I think you could help Pleasant Ridge in the future," says Rubino, who prides himself on his lengthy resume in public service positions throughout the region.
"I was a councilman in the city of Fraser, I had retired as city manager, I ran for office and was elected councilman and then mayor pro-tem, and I met my wife."
When Rubino met his wife he moved to Pleasant Ridge. He says over the past several years he's fallen in love with Pleasant Ridge's unique – and pleasant – qualities. Rubino says he would hate to see Pleasant Ridge further absorbed by the larger cities that surround the community.
"[Kurt Metzger], who is a very good guy, but who has no municipal experience whatsoever, has some ideas of regionalism and ways that we would structure our government here, and I'm opposed to that. The only thing we have left to regionalize would be our police department… The only thing in our streets that has our name on it is our police department, and I don't want to see that changed at all."
Rubino's opponent is Kurt Metzger, who heads up Data Driven Detroit, though he plans to retire at the end of the year. He says "there's this idea that or at least an argument that [I'm] is this regional guy who is going to basically eliminate Pleasant Ridge as we know it." Metzger says that isn't true. He wants the Pleasant Ridge Police Department to stay in Pleasant Ridge, and he's never alluded otherwise.
"[I've] been pro-police long before Frank became pro-police, which is pretty recently. My thought is that we are part of a bigger region, and we need to work more closely with our neighbors, and we need to be supportive of Detroit, and we need to be supportive of Ferndale."
Metzger says that's because the people of Pleasant Ridge don't live in a vacuum. They work and play throughout the region. Pleasant Ridge also shares a library with Huntington Woods, a fire department with Ferndale, residents must grocery shop in cities nearby, and their kids go to Ferndale Public Schools.
Resident James Hanks says being an active part of the region matters to him. Over the weekend he was unloading metal folding chairs from the back of an SUV at the Pleasant Ridge community center. The chairs were used at an event called "Orchtober Fest," which helps illustrate why he loves living in Pleasant Ridge.
"It's small-towny," he says, "but it's also well integrated into the adjacent community. Just giving the example of Orchtober Fest activity; Ferndale Public Schools, Pleasant Ridge, Ferndale, Oak Park, parts of Hazel Park and Royal Oak Township all share a school district. So this is a unifying activity and last night we brought people all over together to support fine arts in the neighborhood."
Hanks says he was hesitant to move to Pleasant Ridge from Ferndale five years ago.
"There were parts of Ferndale I just didn't want to leave because we were going to - our kids were going to the same school they did previously, and I knew the same people were coming to my house to celebrate life and I wasn't giving up that community. So in terms of issues, I would identify the continuing need to stitch together our community."
Kurt Metzger says though it's impossible to separate Pleasant Ridge from the surrounding communities, there are certain services that have given the city a Mayberry-like feel. A community pool, curbside leaf pickup, snow plowed sidewalks, and a nice family park. But he says each of those amenities have been compromised because of a loss of revenue over the past few years.
"Over ten years it's about $1.2 million. So we've seen the cutbacks in revenue sharing, and we've obviously seen expenses going up," he says.
Declining interest rates on revenue-generating funds and reduced water use have also hurt the city financially. According to the city, property millage taxes have not changed since the City Charter was adopted. That means there have been no property tax increases for operating costs in 75 years.
"The city has prided itself on not raising property taxes," Metzger says. "But what it has done is to raise water and sewerage charges. So it's been this kind of assessment that people pay more and more and more for water."
Metzger is hoping residents will approve a ballot proposal for a Headlee Amendment override – a measure that would allow the city to raise property taxes to help pay for operating costs and improve city services. Metzger says without passage of the proposal, the city will be in trouble.
Frank Rubino also supports the property tax proposal. He says a million dollars in lost revenue is a lot of money for a small community.
"Pleasant Ridge hasn't had an operating cost millage in quite a few years. So it's time," Rubino says. "We've cut back so much in the last four years, especially since 2008 with the downfall, that we've had to cut back so seriously that we're asking for the millage to get their services back to what they're used to."
The property tax proposal could raise taxes by an estimated average of a few hundred dollars per household. Rubino and Metzger agree that money would go a long way to bolstering the tangible and intangible qualities that make Pleasant Ridge so pleasant.
