BYD has temporarily loaned some Chinese engineers andexperts to transfer Chinese technology to local employees at itsLos Angeles factory and will not be displacing any Americanworkers, BYD said in a statement on Monday.
BYD plans to hire more local employees as bus productioncommences, it added. BYD currently employs about 40 localworkers at the plant.

BYD said last week the labor rights group spreading was"misinformation".
In the statement on Monday, BYD said it is "dedicated toensuring that its employees are treated fairly" and provideddetails of some of its workers' conditions at its factory.
BYD is stepping up efforts to sell electric vehiclesoverseas. It has signed several contracts this year, includingone to supply the U.S. cities of Los Angeles and Long Beach, andto Amsterdam's Schiphol airport.

Unisys Brings Linux to High-End Systems
Unisys Brings Linux to High-End Systems
Jeffrey Burt
Posted 2004-08-02
The company's Intel-based ES700 servers can now run Linux operating systems from Red Hat and SuSE Linux.
Unisys Corp. is bringing Linux to its ES7000 line of Intel Corp.-based systems. At the LinuxWorld conference in San Francisco Monday, Unisys announced that it can now run Linux operating systems from Red Hat Inc. and Novell Inc.s SuSE Linux unit on the ES7000 servers, which can scale from four to 32 processors.
"This is offering another level of choice for our customers," said Derek Rodner, senior marketing manager for Linux enterprise systems at Unisys, of Blue Bell, Pa. "It gives them a lot of flexibility."
The servers running Linux are available immediately. Businesses running high-end RISC/Unix platforms are looking for a lower-cost alternative, but until now, most Linux-based systems couldnt scale past four processors, Rodner said. The
release of the Linux 2.6 kernel
changed that, enabling Unisys to bring it to their high-end systems, which is what the company calls its Intel-based mainframes. The ES7000 systems can run either Intels 32-bit Xeon processors or 64-bit Itanium 2 chips. The 2.6 kernel also enables users to run dynamic partitions, the first time the capabilitywhich has been available on RISC-based systems such as IBMs Power or Sun Microsystems Inc.s SPARC serverswill be offered for Linux users on Intel-based systems, Rodner said. This will enable customers to create Linux partitions within the systems and to dynamically move processing power in reaction to business demands.
"They can now begin to monitor and change workloads dynamically," he said.

The ES7000 servers were built with partitioning capabilities, but have had to wait for Linux and Microsoft Corp.s Windows operating systems to mature enough to take advantage of the technology, Rodner said. Windows will be able to handle partitioning with the Longhorn release, he said. The new Linux kernel also will enable users to take advantage of Intels performance-enhancing HyperThreading technology and to increase file storage sizes from 2TB to as much as 16TB, Rodner said. The company is seeing a lot of initial interest in the scientific, high-performance computing and public sector segments, Rodner said. The financial services industry also is a field that will take advantage of this, he said. "The financial industry has always been a major proponent of Linux," Rodner said. "The problem was that most Linux could only go up into the two- to four-way range. This is an opportunity for them to begin to scale up their Linux environment." Linux support on large multiprocessor servers is important at organizations that have made a commitment to the open-source operating system, such as Pennsylvania State University, which runs Red Hat Linux on an ES7000. "In our business, in scientific and engineering computations ... we needed to do Linux because were running 600 servers, and theyre all running Linux," said Vijay Agarwala, director of high-performance computing and visualization at Penn State IT Services, in State College. "We needed it for compatibility." While partitioning is important for businesses that want to run multiple workloads on a single CPU, Agarwala said that his office generally assigns a single processor or multiple processors to computational jobs, so that was less appealing to him.

Zweig Closed End Funds Authorizes Declaration Of A Distribution
NEW YORK, Dec. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Zweig Fund, Inc. (NYSE: ZF) and The Zweig Total Return Fund, Inc. (NYSE: ZTR) announced that its board of directors declared a distribution payable January 9, 2013 to stockholders of record on December 31, 2012.
The Zweig Fund intends to distribute the greater of 6 percent of its net asset value on December 31, 2012 or all available net investment income and net short and long term capital gains, in accordance with requirements under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The amount of the distribution will be announced on January 2, 2013.
The Zweig Total Return intends to distribute the greater of 7 percent of its net asset value on December 31, 2012 or all available net investment income and net short and long term capital gains, in accordance with requirements under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The amount of the distribution will be announced on January 2, 2013.
The distributions may represent earnings from net investment income, capital gains, excess gains taxable as ordinary income or, if necessary, return of capital. You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund's investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund's Managed Distribution Plan.
The Funds estimate that they have distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains in the fiscal year to date; therefore, a portion of the distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund's investment performance and should not be confused with "yield" or "income."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Click here for more information about the online Self-Funded Certification Course.
Developed by experts in the market space, this three-hour course instruction will ensure that students understand the key technical components of self-funding and are better prepared to counsel their clients on the various benefits of elimination of most premium tax, lowering cost of administration, claims/administration and customer service for employees.
Historically, employers have turned to the self-funding of their health plans when traditional insurance programs failed to meet their cost expectations. The many thousands of employers in the U.S. who have implemented self-insured medical programs later discovered the other advantages such as coverage flexibility and client-specific benefit plan administration. Self-funding is one of the most effective ways employers can control the rising costs of healthcare coverage. In understanding self-funding as a concept and how it differs from fully insured products, this course will help provide in detail how it all works and proven methods for communicating this option to employers and employees in a compelling way.
The NAHU Self-Funded Certification course:The cost of this course is $175 for NAHU members and $275 for non-members. Certification in self-funding expertise and continuing education credits (status by state and rules) will be provided following completion of the course and an online examination with a passing grade.
NAHU in conjunction with the Metro Denver AHU will be offering a Self-Funded Certification Course. The class will be held at Warner Pacific, in Greenwood Village, CO.
This class is full and is no longer accepting registrations. If you have questions please contact Jacquie Healy
The Self-Funded course will be instructed by Janet Trautwein , Chief Executive Officer of the National Association of Health Underwriters. For information on the MDAHU Calendar of Events Click here.
NAHU members receive a free IHC Forum registration by using promo code NAHUVIP. This code expires on Jan 31, 2015. Register here TODAY! If you have questions regarding registering please contact, Event Manager Karen Raudabaugh or at 404.671.9551 Ext:108.
The Self-Funded course will be instructed by David Smith, Vice President of Ebenconcepts.
Please Note: This class is a pre-conference event in conjunction with the The Institute for Healthcare Consumerism (IHC) 2015 Private Exchange FORUM & Expo event. Attendees must be full conference registrants in order to attend the pre-conference sessions.

Best Free FICO Tracking?
Things I have done to track FICO for free:
- The 30 day scorewatch here - loved it.
- Used to have the WaMu cards - miss it
- Use the on-line calculators for estimate purposes
- Have used one of the on-line lending/borrowing sites (without completing), which gives you an estimate of your score.
Anyone know of any free score-tracking tools? Any cards that give you your score? Banks? I would not be adverse to signing up for a card/bank account. Also - does anyone know if the scorewatch 30 day trial ever resets and you can use it again?

In one of my previous posts, I recommended SLOT SYSTEMS LIMITED as a good store where you can buy your phones in Nigeria especially if you are within or not too far from Lagos.
In the blog post, I shared a link to the PRICE LIST page of SLOT SYSTEMS LIMITED but unfortunately SLOT Nigeria redesigned their website and their PRICE LIST page I shared no longer exists (The link has now been updated to the working link). This generated a lot of comments from my readers asking me for prices of different phones especially Prices of BlackBerry phones.
Today, I am happy to tell you that the SLOT Nigeria website is now up and running again with better design.
How Do I Check The Prices of BlackBerry Phones?
Just go to SLOT Nigeria Website
On the right hand side of the website, you will see " PRODUCT CATEGORIES"
Then, double- click on the " Blackberry" option. You will then be presented with the different Blackberry models and their respective prices.
The phone contacts of SLOT Nigeria are right there on their website. So feel free to contact them.
Whenever you are interested in buying phone, you can first find out about the particular phone at GSMARENA, so as to get informed about the features of the phone and also what people have been saying about the phone.
You can also buy Blackberry phones at Jumia and Konga stores.
I hope this helps......

Heli-Max Axe 100 CP Flybarless 2.4GHz
I didn't see any thread for this and I just bought one to learn to fly a CP helicopter.
It comes in two versions - RTF use a Tactic transmitter and receiver for $200 and a Tx-R version, where you hook up AnyLink 2.4GHz Radio Adapter to various transmitters from what I see. The Tx-R version goes for $160. Highlights Fully assembled and detailed Axe 100 body Flybarless head design TAGs (Triple Axis Gyro stabilization) 200mAh 1S LiPo flight battery and charger 2nd flight battery charge while you fly! Extra set of main and tail rotor blades, linkages and screwdriver HeliDirect, Hobby Zone and Tower Hobbies are curently carrying what looks like the full list of replacement parts for the heli. I haven't had time to verify against the manual. INCLUDES: Tactic AnyLink SLT 2.4GHz Radio Adapter http://tacticrc.com/tacj2000.html Cable for Futaba transmitters with square trainer jack (except 12Z,14MZ, 18MZ and 4YF on 2.4GHz). Cable for JR, Spektrum DX6, DX6i, DX7, and Graupner MX-1 transmitters. Two pieces of hard locking mounting strips SPECS: Compatible Aircraft Transmitters: Futaba, Hitec, JR, Spektrum, Graupner with trainer/DSC jack Compatible Receivers: Tactic brand 2.4GHz SLT receivers (TR624, TACL0624; TR324, TACL0324) Transmitter-Ready (Tx-R) aircraft Frequencies: 2.403-2.480GHz Modulation: FHSS spread spectrum Range: 1,000 feet maximum (304.8 meters) Input Power: Received from host transmitter or optional Power Adapter Input Connection: Universal servo connector Power On Indicator: LED Inactivity Alarm: Tones sound after 4 minutes of TX inactivity Output Power: <0.1W Antenna: External, rotatable and foldable Case Dimensions: 2.5 x 1.4 x 0.5" (64 x 36 x 12mm) Weight: 0.85oz (24g) Mounting Method: Hard locking fastening strips Link to Nick Maxwell reviewing the kit and flying in his barn. Nice to see he crashes it and keeps flying with it.
I have been trying off and on for a long time to learn to fly a RC CP Heli. I think this will be what I need to finally accomplish it. Figure out why the video wasn't working. My Internet Explorer 9 wasn't playing the videos. I can see it posted just fine with Google Chrome. |

It is a rebrand of the Nine Eagles 125a. There is a thread on it
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1555704 What is new is the Anylink adapter. It may be worth checking whether the transmitter the RTF package uses the Anylink protocol or not. The price is not expensive considering you can get spares from your LHS. |

http://tacticrc.com/tacj2000.html It can link with Futaba, Hitec, JR, Spectrum, Tower Hobbies and Graupner. You need the correct cable. The two cables that come with it are for Futaba, JR, Graupner and Spectrum. An additional cable would have to be purchased for the other brands. I'll check out the thread you provided. There was a post at another popular heli site I visit where the guy got to do a lot of testing in the store with a lot of bumping around which lead to me deciding to get this one. Particularly when I found 3 online sites carrying all the parts and I could bind it to my Futaba without having to get a whole different transmitter. |

So far, seems folks are giving the HeliMax good hits and it is holding up well. I figure I will have to replace the motor at some point since it is a brushed motor but all mciros seem to come that way. I looked at the Blade but it seems you can only use a Spectrum radio with it. At least this one had the Anylink so I could fly with my Futaba radio. I do hope I get to learn with it and it helps me get ready to fly for when I build a 450 kit. |

I'm hoping so. I had the aileron rate at the recommended 100 for the first flight and 110 for the second flight. I believe there was a small improvement, so I'll keep adding a bit of aileron and see how it goes.
I would say that if you can fly a normal heli (beyond a coax), that you can probably just skip the low rates and run high rates full time. I run a single rate on my other aerobatic helis and don't bother with dual rates. |

Love this website and have learned a lot since I started lurking. This problem is confusing the hell out of me. If I want my local DNS server to be the authoritative of example.com how do I setup my name servers to point to my domain, ie ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com since I haven't even setup my domain yet. I purchased it and its asking for which name servers I want to use. It seems like this should be common and not to difficult to figure out but Google and serverfault.com have been unable to clue me so I thought I should speakup and just ask.
Take the 2-minute tour
Server Fault is a question and answer site for system and network administrators. It's 100% free, no registration required.
You need to set up a glue record, which will have the IPs of ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com needed to resolve example.com. |
What I have done in this situation was to log into your registar's control panel and specify the authoritative name server as the public IP of your local DNS server. Your registrar will always be your point of management for the domain name itself, but you can tell it to use whatever for it's name servers. If you do a WHOIS lookup on a domain, you will see the name servers listed. You want one of those to be the public IP of your own DNS server, which can be set through the registrar. When you do this, make sure you open port 53 on your firewall to allow DNS traffic through. |

1917 - 2014 |
BROCKETTE, Mary Findley
Mary Findley Brockette died March 7th, 2014 at the age of 97. She was the heart of the family and will be missed.
Mary Winnette Findley was born Feb. 12, 1917 in Hillsboro, Texas, the daughter of Oscar H. and Gretta (Bosley) Findley. Her father was a
, but he also worked in his father's grocery store and sold grocery orders to the small stores in the county. Gretta stayed at home and raised Mary and her two brothers, Carl and Harold.
Mary grew up playing with her cousins and eating homemade ice cream. After high school she worked at the Hill County Courthouse where she met Geraldine Thompson. Gerry wanted Mary to meet her cousin, Marlin Brockette. They dated, fell in love and were married March 12, 1943, during
. Marlin was a lieutenant who fought in France, Belgium and Germany. It was a hard time for both of them, but he returned and they shared 57 years of marriage. When their daughter asked her father what was the most important historical event during his life, he immediately replied, "Marrying your mother!"
Mary had been raised in the Church of Christ, but Marlin's father was a Methodist minister, so she jumped enthusiastically into the new denomination. She fixed so many dishes for pot luck suppers and to take to the homes of the bereaved, that her son, Bob, once saw her icing a cake and asked, "Is that for us or the church?"
Mary and Marlin instilled their values and beliefs in their children, but encouraged them to find their own direction. Betty became a school librarian, Merlin spent 30 years caring for the disabled and Bob is the music director at the Austin Waldorf School.
In 1967 Marlin took a job at the Texas Education Agency in Austin, Texas, eventually becoming the Commissioner of Education. They bought a house on Mt. Bonnell, joined St. John's Methodist Church and Mary became a member of the Optimistic Garden Club. She served as the clubs representative to the Austin Area Garden Council at Zilker Botanical Garden for over 20 years.
Both of Mary's brothers died in their 50's; Harold in 1970 and Carl in 1976. It would have been devastating to her if not for Marlin's family. He had 3 sisters (Fran, Margo and Mary Ruth) and a brother, Claude. When she married Marlin, she became part of their extended family. From then on she had "sisters".
Mary became a widow May 2nd, 2000 when Marlin died of kidney failure and cancer. She suffered a stroke in 2004, but continued to live in their house on Mt. Bonnell. She was an active member of her garden club and was still delivering Meal-on-Wheels at the age of 88...but she was lonely. She moved into the independent living section at the Heritage at Gaines Ranch in 2005 and made some wonderful new friends. At the age of 90 she even learned to play pool! She, Joan and Imogene had a discussion at dinner one night and decided that "women didn't used to play pool, but times had changed".
Mary is survived by her children Betty Hager (husband, Stacey); Merlin Brockette; and Robert Brockett (wife, Wendy). She has 5 grandchildren: Scott Hager (wife, Michelle), Mary Alice (Hager) Johnson (husband, Shannon), Kaira Brockette, Nathan Brockett and Christopher Brockett. Her great-grandchildren are Nicholas, Sabrina and Alyssa Hager. Her surviving "sisters" are Margo Cowan, Mary Ruth Cruise and Bennie Brockette. She will be missed by her cousins, Virginia (Findley) Munroe and Kenneth Smith, her sister-in-law, Virginia (Bankert) Findley and by a very large number of nieces, nephews and friends.
The family would like to thank Hill Country Home Health and their excellent staff for help in caring for our mother at home. Equal thanks go to Heart of Texas Caregivers, especially our friend, Renee Thomas. Also, we could not have kept mother at home until the end without Odyssey Hospice Care. Thanks to all of you.
Family Visitation will be held at Weed-Corley-Fish Funeral home on North Lamar, Friday, March 14th from 6 - 8 pm. The funeral will be at St. John's Methodist Church on Koenig Lane at 1:00pm, Saturday, March 15th with burial to follow at Austin Memorial Park Cemetery on Hancock Dr. Mother was a "home body" and we invite you to join us at her home for a reception following the internment.
If you wish, donations can be made to St. John's United Methodist Church, Zilker Botanical Garden or Meals-on-Wheels.

My dealer was told it was delayed until July. They have supposedly started shipping the Bodyguard 38s though.
I heard the guns are done but they are having problems with the lasers.
Just a couple bug guns.
I've heard that the S&W reps are still unable to commit to a date yet. I've found no reliable reporting on what the cause for the delay is. Best guesses are July/August.

PrevNext 1 of 9 Return to Article Next Gallery Posted Sun, October 30, 2011 7:02am EST Browse our gallery of Hollywood's most surprising couples & vote for the one that shocked you most! Sometimes two celebrities are so perfect for each other, you could never picture either one of them with anyone else — but what fun is that? HollywoodLife.com is taking a look at some of our favorite recent "WTF" couples, from Doug Hutchison and his teen bride Courtney Stodden to Jennifer Lopez and surprise rebound Bradley Cooper! From their infamous limo scene after the Victrola to their devastating break-up over a hotel –Chuck and Blair's love story is one of kind. With Gossip Girl being on hiatus this Monday, Oct. 31st, I thought it would be a good time to take a look back at Blair (Leighton Meester) and Chuck's (Ed Westwick) love story. Their tale has had many ups and down, but is full of passion and true love! And even though they aren't together now, I know many of you — like me — are hoping they will get together by the end of season 5. Let's take a look back at the greatest Gossip Girl love story of all time! And weigh in– what's your favorite Chair moment? XOXO — Nicole Karlis Even though this was a sad moment for Chair, you could see Chuck's love for B more than ever. Blair told him after their break-up in season 4 that she believes they really loved each other. And next boy she kisses won't be to make Chuck jealous, but it will be for her because wants to kiss him. Blair's all grown up! Blair tells Chuck "I love you" after his father's death. Chuck doesn't say it back. This turned into the demise of their relationship… until Chuck finally came around and said it back at the end of season 3. The saddest moment ever — when Blair tells Chuck she's pregnant and the father is Louis. Lies, lies and more lies. I refuse to believe. Chuck and Blair's last hoorah was amazing! The two crashed a Jewish wedding instead of attending Blair's own engagement party. This was the night they hooked up which is why we are STILL convinced Chuck is the father of Blair's baby — and NOT Prince Louis! My favorite Chuck & Blair moment ever! Just when we thought they were done for good in season 3, Chuck goes above and beyond to win Blair's heart back — he travels to Europe to buy Blair her favorite macaroons and more. So sweet! But the biggest gift of all? Chuck's three words to Blair: "I love you." The official beginning of Chuck and Blair's love story. After Blair and Nate (Chace Crawford) broke up, Blair went to visit Chuck at his new club, Victrola. It was there where she let lose and stripped for Mr. Bass! Then she lost her virginity to him in the back of his limo. The sexiest/funniest sex scene the pair ever had. Chuck ripped up their "treaty" they made to not to touch other, and then the two go at it in Blair's Upper East Side foyer! The most memorable of their sex scenes by far! When Serena got in a car crash in season 4, the gang was forced to revisit the hospital Chuck's dad died in. Chuck is haunted by the memories, but Blair consoles him. She told him he's become a better man than his father ever was — so sweet. 'Gossip Girl': Chuck & Blair's 8 Biggest 'OMG' Moments! PICS!

Manager Interview
I applied through other source. The process took 2 days – interviewed at Travel Leaders in September 2009.
The telephone and one-on-one interviews were more brief than I expected initially. It did not feel stressful or awkward, and the interviewer was organized and had specific scenarios/situations that I needed to respond to (behavioral questions). The office seemed busy, but things also seemed to be working smoothly without a lot of chaos. Dress professionally and show that you can remain calm under certain customer situations.

Katy Perry Spotted Moving Out of L.A. Home
Katy Perry is moving on, literally. Moving trucks were spotted at her and Russell Brand's Los Angeles home, implying that the pop star is shipping out.
Katy Perry is moving on, literally. Moving trucks were spotted at her and Russell Brand's Los Angeles home, implying that the pop star is shipping out.
At least one good thing is coming from Katy Perry's divorce — new songs. The Sun reports that Perry has been using her heartbreak as inspiration for her next album.
Russell Brand shocked the world by filing for divorce from Katy Perry, his wife of just 14 months, especially since the duo seemed so happy and in love and had just made a public appearance where they held hands and looked at one another lovingly. Outsiders and pop culture pundits weren't the only ones with jaws agape. Turns out the couple's inner circle was equally as surprised by the split.
We've hardly seen hide nor (pink) hair from Katy Perry since Russell Brand, her husband of 14 months, filed for divorce on Dec. 30. However, the 'The One That Got Away Singer' has confirmed her first major public appearance since the split. She will appear at the People's Choice Awards, which will be held in Los Angeles on Jan. 11, according to PEOPLE.
A demo of the song "Bullet", written by Katy Perry for country songstress Jessie James has been leaked, voiced by Perry herself.
There's trouble in paradise for Katy Perry and Russell Brand, according to reports. A source told E! Online that Katy and Russell have had some "problems" recently and they've been spending "a lot of time apart," including this Christmas. The Katy was spotted in Hawaii over the holiday weekend, while Brand was reportedly seen in England. Things are rumored to have turned ug
December is the time when we wrap up the year and take a look back. Every year, DJ Earworm puts together a video mashup that sums up the year in music, and he has just released his 'United State of Pop (World Go Boom)' for 2011.
Besides Katy Perry and Rihanna, the mix features people like Adele, LMFAO, Lady Gaga, and other pop stars of the past year (but no Bieber!)
Katy Perry and Russell Brand have been dealing with their share of rumors that their marriage of 14 months has been on the rocks. After spending the Christmas holiday many miles apart, fuel has been added to that fire.
Katy Perry's current single, the ode to young love lost known as 'The One That Got Away,' has been given the remix treatment. The remix version features an assist from rapper B.o.B. and other than two verses dropped in at the beginning and ending portions of the song, not much is different. Essentially, B.o.B. sprinkles the song with a few rhymes, giving it a little more of an urban edge.
Katy Perry was certainly one of the biggest hitmakers of 2011, but she was also one of the year's most fascinating people. At least, that's according to Barbara Walters, who highlights Katy in her annual 10 Most Fascinating People special, airing tonight at 8:30 p
After her stint on 'Saturday Night Live' this weekend, it's pretty clear why Katy Perry is married to a comedian — the girl is funny! Not only can she impersonate her hilarious hubby, Russell Brand, but she also has no qualms about sending up her fellow pop stars.
Katy Perry and Rihanna are besties who look out for each other and support one another no matter what the obstacle. Now, according to Star magazine sources , Perry and her husband Russell Brand are concerned for RiRi's well-being and are looking to stage some sort of intervention.

12 Non-Christmas Songs That Mention Christmas
The mere mention of Christmas evokes such vivid imagery that it's risky referencing it in a non-Christmas song.
The mere mention of Christmas evokes such vivid imagery that it's risky referencing it in a non-Christmas song.
The Cure opened up the first of a three-night residency at London's Hammersmith Eventim Apollo with a career-spanning, two-and-a-half-hour performance.
Prepare to see Robert Smith how you might never have seen him -- smiling.
Yes, that short-haired gentleman playing guitar without any makeup on in the above video is the Cure frontman Robert Smith.
The Cure, Franz Ferdinand and Alt-J are some of the artists who have signed on to a growing campaign designed to help improve concert-venue accessibility for disabled fans.
Last week, Riot Fest announced a tentative lineup for its Toronto stop.
In one of the most blatant offenses against Internet etiquette in history, the Cure singer Robert Smith smashed his Caps Lock button into his computer while responding to a poor review of a recent live performance by the band.
Forever sad Robert Smith, frontman for The Cure, said the working title of their upcoming album, '4:14 Scream,' is "...one of those reverse psychology things, where it's so bad it's good."
The Cure played an epic three-hour, 45-song set the other night filled with classics, rarities and a new song.
The Cure were on somewhat regular faces on MTV, especially in the early days, when the fledgling network had like a dozen videos and showed the same ones about nine times a day.

Director, Center for Consciousness Studies
Emeritus Professor, Department of Anesthesiology
Emeritus Professor, Department of Psychology
Stuart Hameroff, Research Website:
UA Department of Anesthesiology: Consciousness Research/Hameroff
Center for Consciousness Studies/TSC: www.consciousness.arizona.edu
Stuart Hameroff MD grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, working summers at Republic Steel and Cleveland Stadium. At the University of Pittsburgh in the late 1960s, he studied chemistry, physics and the mind/body problem. In medical school in the early 1970s at Hahnemann Medical College in Philadelphia, Hameroff became interested in microtubules, polymers of the protein 'tubulin', and major components of the cytoskeleton within living cells. Comparing their dynamic lattice structure to computer matrices, he began to propose that microtubules processed information inside brain neurons, and were the source of intelligence at the biomolecular level. Choosing an academic career combining clinical medicine and research, Hameroff trained in anesthesiology at the University of Arizona Medical Center in Tucson, Arizona, and joined the faculty there in 1977, a position he still holds as emeritus professor and practicing anesthesiologist. His research has included mechanisms by which anesthetic gases erase consciousness and prevent memory, and further studies of information processing in microtubules. In the mid 1990s Hameroff teamed with famed British physicist Sir Roger Penrose to develop a quantum theory of consciousness based on microtubules, a controversial proposal (recent work has shown that anesthetics act via microtubules inside neurons).
Beginning in 2009, the team of Anirban Bandyopadhyay and colleagues at the National Institute of Material Sciences in Tsukuba, Japan began to show vibrational resonances in microtubules in the megahertz frequency range. Hameroff concluded that microtubule megahertz vibrations supported information processing, cognition and consciousness in the brain. Recognizing megahertz mechanical vibrations as ultrasound, commonly used in clinical anesthesiology for imaging, and aware of noninvasive brain therapies such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and transcranial electrical (e.g. direct current) stimulation (tDCS), Hameroff found that work by WJ Tyler and others had shown that transcranial ultrasound (TUS) caused behavioral and electrophysiological effects in animals. Using a clinical ultrasound imaging device (GE Logiq) at low intensity, sub-thermal levels, Hameroff and colleagues then did the first TUS human study on mood and mental states in chronic pain patients, published in 2012 in Brain Stimulation. He then collaborated with University of Arizona Psychologists John JB Allen and Jay Sanguinetti to do several followup TUS studies on healthy volunteers, showing TUS to right fronto-temporal cortex improves mood, that vertex stimulation aimed at anterior cingulate cortex can have profound effects (uncontrolled laughter, meditative states, 'out-of-body' experiences) and that TUS elicits gamma synchrony EEG near the stimulation site.
Hameroff also has collaborated with neuroscientist Sourav Ghosh (and student Uma Raman) to test ultrasound effects on rat embryonic cortical neurons, showing significant increase in neurite sprouting, suggesting TUS could be helpful in neuronal repair and synaptic formation after TBI. This suggested clinical trials of TUS on TBI as described in the present pre-application proposal. In collaboration with biophysicists Jack Tuszynski at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, and Travis Craddock at Nova Southeastern University in Ft Lauderdale, Florida, Hameroff also proposed that microtubules encode memory from synaptic inputs by the holoenzyme CaMKII. He further suggested psychotherapy, including for PTSD, could involve TUS-based stimulation of microtubule vibrational mechanisms to over-write traumatic memories.
In addition to clinical and research roles, Hameroff is Director of the Center for Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona, and co-organizes, with philosopher David Chalmers, the well-known 'Toward a Science of Consciousness' conferences. He is a perennial selection for 'Best Doctors in Tucson', where he has lived and worked for 40 years. He received the first Rustum Roy award at Deepak Chopra's 'Sages and Scientists' conference in 2010. Hameroff has written or edited 5 books and over a hundred scientific articles. He appeared in the film 'WhattheBleep?', and in numerous TV shows about consciousness on BBC, PBS, Discovery, and History Channel. His research website is www.quantumconsciousness.org

IBM, HP Lead High Performance Computing Market: IDC
IBM, HP Lead High Performance Computing Market: IDC
Nathan Eddy
Posted 2012-09-04
IBM, HP and Dell lead the worldwide high performance computing (HPC) market, though sales were essentially flat in the second quarter.
While they battle it out for market share in the
worldwide server space
, technology giants IBM and Hewlett-Packard (HP) are also in close contention for worldwide market leadership in high performance computing (HPC), capturing 32.7 percent and 29.8 percent of overall revenue share, respectively, according to IT research firm IDC's Worldwide High-Performance Technical Server QView. Overall, worldwide factory revenue for the HPC technical server market was essentially flat year over year in the second quarter of 2012 (2Q12). According to the report, revenue in the second quarter dipped slightly (-0.9 percent) to $2.4 billion, down from $2.5 billion in the same period of 2011. Despite the 2Q12 numbers, IDC said it still expects HPC technical server market revenues to expand by 7.1 percent year over year to reach $11 billion, exceeding 2011's record-breaking revenues of $10.3 billion.
Although the report noted average selling points continue to grow, thanks to an ongoing, multi-year shift to large system sales, 2Q12 unit sales declined by more than 21 percent to 22,998 compared to the second quarter of 2011. During the first half of 2012, the HPC technical server market declined by 1 percent, with a decline of 11 percent in unit shipments, compared to the same period in 2011, the report noted. Revenue in the high-end Supercomputers segment for HPC systems sold for $500,000 and up was the strongest performer in the market, jumping 21.8 percent over 1Q12 to reach $1.17 billion.
The high-end Supercomputers segment accounted for 48.6 percent of worldwide HPC technical server revenue in 2Q12, while the Divisional segment ($250,000 to $499,000 price band) captured 13.4 percent of overall revenue. At the other end of the price spectrum, revenue for Workgroup HPC systems- sold for below $100,000-- experienced a decline of 12.5 percent in the first half of 2012 when compared to the first half of 2011. On the vendor side, behind IBM and HP came Dell, which maintained its strong third-place position with 14.2 percent of global revenue, while Cray (+43.7 percent), Fujitsu (+33.5 percent), and SGI (+10.3 percent) all made impressive year-over year revenue gains during the second quarter of 2012. IDC said it expects the HPC technical server market to grow at a healthy 7.3 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast to reach revenues of $14 billion by 2016. "HPC technical servers, especially Supercomputers, have been closely linked not only to scientific advances but also to industrial innovation and economic competitiveness. For this reason, nations and regions across the world are increasing their investments in supercomputing even in today's challenging economic conditions," Earl Joseph, program vice president for technical computing at IDC, said in prepared remarks. "We expect the global race for HPC leadership in the petascale-exascale era to continue heating up during this decade."

Our Volt pre workout formula includes 12 advanced active ingredients that work together to increase energy, mental focus and muscular pump. Volt enables you to achieve the ultimate workout so you can maximise your lean muscle, power and strength gains by training harder.
Volt is ideal for those who want to push themselves further when they're working out. However, it's potent and has a high caffeine content. It shouldn't be taken by children, pregnant or breastfeeding women or if you're caffeine sensitive.
Our Volt pre workout formula comprises three main parts: the GN™ Vascularity and Pump Enhancer (based on AAKG and Citrulline Malate), the GN™ Power and Strength Matrix (based on Creapure® creatine monohydrate, L Taurine and Beta Alanine) and the GN™ Energy and Focus Intensifier (based on caffeine, guarana extract and Yerba mate). These three blends contribute to different aspects of improving your physical performance.
The GN™ Vascularity and Pump Enhancer provides 3g of Arginine Alpha Ketoglutarate and 1.8g of Citrulline Malate which work synergistically to enhance nitric oxide production, increasing vascularity and blood flow to vital organs and working muscles. Increased blood flow enhances nutrient delivery and the 'pump' feeling associated with intense training.
Our GN™ Power and Strength Matrix includes 5g of the premium Creapure® creatine monohydrate, 2.5g of L Taurine and 1.8g of Beta Alanine, which work to increase maximal effort and reduce muscular fatigue. Creapure® is one of the most well researched supplements available on the market today, and is shown to increase power, strength and size, whilst beta alanine helps to buffer lactic acid production to prevent the onset of 'the burn' and muscular fatigue. Finally taurine, one of the most abundant amino acids in the working muscles, further helps to reduce lactic acid build up and keep muscle cells fuelled with vital nutrients.
GN™ Energy and Focus Intensifier delivers a powerful blend of stimulants, vitamins and extracts which boost energy levels and enhance focus, to ensure peak performance. Volt™ provides 220mg of caffeine through pure caffeine anhydrous, guarana extract and Yerba mate; combined with over 1400% RDA vitamin B6, 3g of tyrosine and 500mg each of glucuronolactone and carnitine. Caffeine can boost both physical and mental performance and has been shown in studies to increase strength, and reduce fatigue. Tyrosine plays an essential role in neurotransmission working to enhance focus and reduce mental fatigue. Carnitine enhances the ability of the body to burn fat, thus increasing energy levels. It has also been linked to improved cognitive function. Finally glucuronolactone is a metabolite of glucose and can increase energy and alertness and reduce reaction times.
For an intermediate dose, add 12.5g (about four medium scoops) to 100-200ml of water and shake in your GN Blender. If you're an experienced user, you can try a higher dose based on 25g in 100-200ml of water.
Volt™ currently comes in one flavour - Berry Burst. We have worked tirelessly to ensure that Volt™ is not only the most affect pre workout formula, but also tastes great. Unlike most pre workout formulas which fail to impress in the flavour department, Volt™ offers a refreshing pre workout kick.
We've used premium, tried and tested pre workout ingredients in a unique synergistic blend to ensure that Volt™ stands up to any pre workout formula on the market today. Unlike competitor products which use proprietary blends to hide the fact they are using low levels of premium ingredients, GoNutrition® is the first sports nutrition company to fully declare levels of all active ingredients in its formulas. Just check the Nutritional Info tab. Volt™ has been formulated to provide higher levels of key actives, such as Creapure®, Taurine, Beta Alanine and Tyrosine; than the closest competitor products. Volt™ contains unique pre workout ingredients, such as Yerba mate, that aren't found in competitor products. Yerba mate is a popular caffeine containing South American tea. It is a powerful antioxidant that contains flavonoids, saponins and chlorogenic acid.
As with all our formulas, Volt™ has been carefully developed using scientifically backed ingredients, to produce a high quality and effective pre workout supplement. All our ingredients are sourced from a leading UK supplier, which has passed our stringent auditing process. Volt™ is manufactured on site at our industry leading production facility, before being carefully packed and shipped direct to your door, ensuring traceability every step of the way.
As our potent pre-workout, Volt can be enhanced by stacking with Amino Go during your workout. Amino Go is a hydrating amino acid formula to keep you fuelled throughout your workout. We would also recommend ZMA zinc and magnesium recovery formula to promote post workout recovery and increase natural testosterone production.
Nutritional values are based on Berry Burst flavour. For other flavour variants nutritional values may vary slightly.
Creatine Monohydrate (Creapure®), Arginine Alpha Ketoglutarate, Tyrosine, Dextrose, Taurine, Beta Alanine, Citrulline Malate, Natural Flavouring, Natural Colour (Beetroot Red [Berry Burst Flavour Only], Curcumin [Lemon & Lime Flavour Only]), L Carnitine, Glucuronolactone, Guarana Extract (22% Caffeine), Yerba Mate (8% Caffeine), Caffeine Anhydrous, Sweetener (Sucralose), Spirulina Concentrate (Lemon & Lime Flavour Only) (contains Trehalose, Acidity Regulator (Tri Sodium Citrate)), Vitamin B6.

We're so confident in the products we sell that we provide a 30 day guarantee. If you're unhappy with anything you've bought from us, just contact us within 30 days of purchase and we'll sort you out. For more details check out our returns page, email us or call on 0161 385 5555.
As a pre-workout formula, we recommend using Volt™ approximately 30-45 minutes before training.
Volt™ should be used by anyone looking to increase the intensity of their workouts, in order to maximise training results.
Volt™ has a high caffeine content and is therefore not recommended for children (under the age of 18), pregnant or breast feeding women or caffeine sensitive persons.
Volt™ has a high caffeine content and as such we do not recommend it is used alongside other caffeine containing products or stimulants. Other supplements such as amino acids or protein formulas can be used.
Volt™ contains Beta Alanine which can cause skin tingling in some individuals. This is perfectly normal and will wear off naturally.
Intermediate Dose: Add four medium scoops (12.5g) to 100ml of water in you GN™ Blender Bottle shake and consume immediately. For a weaker tasting drink use less liquid.
Experienced Dose: Add eight medium scoops (25g) to 100ml of water in you GN™ Blender Bottle shake and consume immediately. For a weaker tasting drink use less liquid.
We recommend one serving daily approximate 30 minutes before workout.
Caution: High caffeine content. Not recommended for children, pregnant or breast feeding women or caffeine sensitive persons.
Medium GN™ scoop included.
Have tried both flavours on offer of Volt and would say the lemon & lime is alot more palatable. I think the sourness helps disguise the combination of bitter chemicals though after a week or so of taking you quickly get used to the taste. As far as performance, I would say you certainly don't get the sudden surge of uncontrollable energy you do with some other products (often along with jitters) due to the slightly lower caffeine content. Nonetheless, there is still enough to perk you up and motivate you to work harder. The other chemicals present all have a positive input, noticably the standard Beta Alanine tingles giving you much more longevity in your workouts. A good product and reasonably priced.
Nice profile, arginine isnt best of NOs, but i can live with that. Other ingredients are cool. I felt energized without jittery.
I cant say I noticed a 'buzz' or anything after taking it but I do think I noticed a difference when using it. Towards the end of training I was able to go that bit further whereas before I would have struggled and been more fatigued. I was initially going to buy the trial pack as I was a little sceptical but a full pack was included in a bundle. Glad now that it was as its something I will use before a more difficult or prolonged session.
This is great stuff! You don´t notice your energy levels rising or anything else too obvious before workout. But after the workout you´ll realize that you had one helluva workout! There are two indicartors that tell the stuff is starting to work: you get a tingling sensation on your skin (I get it in my fingers, and a friend of mine told his face starts to tingle), and you´ll notice getting a slight pump in your muscles even before doing anything. And the post-workout pump is amazing! One note though: if you work out late in the evening, you might experience difficulty getting sleep. On the other hand, I have experimented using Volt as a energy drink during night shifts, and it really helps keeping sharp during the wee hours. I´ll probably order the one-shot Volts for night shifts, once they became available again.

Hafnium(IV) oxide is the inorganic compound with the formula HfO2. Also known as hafnia, this colourless solid is one of the most common and stable compounds of hafnium. It is an electrical insulator with a band gap of 5.3~5.7 eV.[1] Hafnium dioxide is an intermediate in some processes that give hafnium metal.
Hafnium(IV) oxide is quite inert. It reacts with strong acids such as concentrated sulfuric acid and with strong bases. It dissolves slowly in hydrofluoric acid to give fluorohafnate anions. At elevated temperatures, it reacts with chlorine in the presence of graphite or carbon tetrachloride to give hafnium tetrachloride.
Hafnia adopts the same structure as zirconia (ZrO2). Unlike TiO2, which features six-coordinate Ti in all phases, zirconia and hafnia consists of seven-coordinate metal centres. A variety of crystalline phases have been experimentally observed, including cubic, tetragonal, monoclinic and orthorhombic.[2]
Thin films of hafnium oxides, used in modern semiconductor devices, are often deposited with an amorphous structure (commonly by atomic layer deposition). Possible benefits of the amorphous structure have led researchers to alloy hafnium oxide with silicon (forming hafnium silicates) or aluminium, which were found to increase the crystallization temperature of hafnium oxide.[3]
Hafnia is used in optical coatings, and as a high-κ dielectric in DRAM capacitors and in advanced metal-oxide-semiconductor devices. Hafnium-based oxides were introduced by Intel in 2007 as a replacement for silicon oxide as a gate insulator in field-effect transistors.[4] The advantage for transistors is its high dielectric constant: the dielectric constant of HfO2 is 4–6 times higher than that of SiO2.[5] The dielectric constant and other properties depend on the deposition method, composition and microstructure of the material.
In recent years, hafnium oxide (as well as doped and oxygen-deficient hafnium oxide) attracts additional interest as a possible candidate for resistive-switching memories.[6]
Because of its very high melting point, hafnia is also used as a refractory material in the insulation of such devices as thermocouples, where it can operate at temperatures up to 2500 °C.[7]

The New York Knicks are reportedly interested in trading for Nuggets guard Andre MIller.
Miller has not played in the last four games, all wins, since a heated exchange with first year head coach Brian Shaw over playing time.
The Nuggets are open to trading Miller, but the Knciks may not have enough money, or talent to pull off the trade.

A must try for sure! You can use low fat cream cheese to make these lighter if you like. You can also dip the ends with any kind of finely chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, graham cracker crumbs, sprinkles, or dip the ends in chocolate or drizzle with chocolate. You might even try adding some cocoa powder to the cream cheese and make it a chocolate filling. The sky is the limit here, just use your imagination!
