The fairly sudden, seemingly inexplicable rise in the price of text messages is setting off alarms. In 2005, Sprint, Verizon Wireless, AT&T and T-Mobile all charged ten cents per text message. Sprint doubled the price to twenty cents in 2007, and by the end of this year, all three of the other major carriers will [...]

Happy Birthday: Apple Is Making a WatchPosted on Mar 4, 2013
Apple reportedly has 100 designers trying to figure out the most profitable and elegant way to colonize your wrist. The watch project is said to be a personal fetish of Apple's famed chief designer Jony Ive and will reportedly run a version of the same mobile operating system that powers the iPhone and iPad. Bloomberg first reported the story, which has since been confirmed by The Verge. The idea of an Apple watch has captured consumer imagination since the company released a Nano music player small enough to be worn on the wrist. Since then, the Nano has been redesigned and Apple watchers have been more focused on the company's often-rumored television. But, as Bloomberg points out, the watch business is more profitable than the TV business, and mobile computing is something Apple already does well. Impatient shoppers with $150 to spend on nerdy wristwear can already buy the Pebble watch, which uses an e-Paper screen and got its start on crowdsourcing site Kickstarter. —Posted by Peter Z.

Since both Tom Brady and Peyton Manning are out of the playoffs, (both superstar status) no one is left of that stature. You sense that Big Ben could be on the brink of future stardom, yet he has more to prove. Bettis, most likely a future Hall of Famer is at the tail end of his career and not in his prime. An argument can be made for the Seahawks, Sean Alexander or Panthers Steve Smith. I'm not sure who would be the top star for Denver as they are very well balanced but I guess I'd have to say Jake Plummer. So I am struggling here. Who is the #1 star left in the playoffs? Bonus points.....Does the NFL feel cheated that somebody like a Manning, Brady, Larry Johnson (not putting him in the same category, but who was better in the last two months) don't have a superstar in the playoffs?
I say the Panthers' Steve Smith is the biggest star right now. *for Denver I would say that their big name player is John Lynch I do know what you mean though, this year's Super Bowl will be lacking the Brady/Bruschi/Harrison vs. McNabb/Owens matchup.

I am the physical embodiment of a story. Every time I move my arm or open my mouth or words stumble off of my tongue and I make a fool of myself, it's another page, another sentence, another scene in a story I'll tell later, at some later date, as if all of that is in the past, behind me now. But that's a big lie, like most of the stories I tell, and I'll just continue writing it all with the swaying motion of my tongue and arms and lungs.
I tell stories sometimes to relate, escape, entertain, and connect with others. But mostly I tell stories because, as a child, I realized that nothing would properly convey the way that I felt, what I wanted, or where I needed to be the way that a story could. A specific example would be every time that I've lied about seeing a movie when someone asks a group "Has anyone seen [insert movie here]?" I'd say "yes, of course! Of course I have, I thought we were the only ones!" And instantly I'd created a story, a story about a time I'd gone to the movies with a family member or by myself or with friends. And it had a theatre name (Finchley Vue cinema), a time (1:20 PM Saturday, August 12th), and an opinion (Eh, it was alright). I do all of this because the truth of the matter, deep down underneath the folds of the details and lies, was that I didn't want anyone to know what I was really doing, or what I really thought. Instead, I tell them what other people, good people, did, what they thought.
This is the reason I lie. This is the reason I tell stories. This is the reason I am alive, to tell the story of the things that never came to pass, of the people who aren't around to speak it for themselves.

The Singaporean government has introduced measures to cool demand and expand supply in a bid to moderate the increase in housing prices.
While the measures have dampened speculative buying, demand for residential property remains firm, and prices have continued to rise.
The buoyancy of the property market reflects low interest rates and ongoing income growth in Singapore.

CopyWipe (WinConsole)
Full user review
"VERY nice free backup utility."
1. Simple
2. Works
3. Free
4. Does EXACTLY what it says....makes an "almost" perfect copy of one hard drie onto another.
5. Even copies files which are in use.Cons
1. No scheduler.
2. Potentially dangerous for those who won't read before they click. (See below)
3. It completely overwrites the destination drive. But this is exactly what I want for my purposes....an identical & bootable copy of my main disk.Summary
I'm surprised this thing isn't more popular than it is. It does exactly what it says it does & does it well....it makes an "almost" perfect, bootable mirror image of an entire hard drive onto another. Main drive blows up....not a problem....plug in other drive & keep on trucking. As stated in other reviews, it even copies files that are currently in use. Many of the bloated "pay for" backup programs falter on this step. I put "almost" in the above sentence because it did fail to copy about 4 shortcuts correctly. After booting from the new disk, I had it fixed in about a minute. If you can read about 5 lines of instructions, you can use this program.
Not really anything BAD, but as another reviewer stated, you have to be aware of which drive is "Drive 0", "Drive 1", etc.....it doesn't specify C,D,etc.....just look in your Disk Management console for this info. There's no scheduler that I'm aware of, but as simple as the program is, it's not needed. Since it works equally well when the computer is running, just start it up every few days & let it do it's thing while you continue surfing or playing. Two VERY important things to note however. This isn't for "set it & forget it" people. You have to spend about 2 minutes starting it up when you want to copy a disk. And it's not for those who can't read simple instructions about what the program is about to do when you tell it "Yes".....it COMPLETELY overwrites the destination disk. So you'll want a dedicated back up disk that is ONLY used for one thing.....a back-up. It can also be made to completely erase the source disk....just READ before you CLICK.

CU files suit against CUMIS
Permanent link
MADISON, Wis. (12/8/09)--A Maryland-based credit union affected by fraud at U.S. Mortgage/CU National Mortgage Corp. has filed a civil suit against CUNA Mutual Insurance Society (CUMIS) to recover losses under a bond issued by CUMIS. In the complaint, Education Systems FCU, Greenbelt, said it purchased the bond to protect it from losses incurred under events such as the CU National Mortgage Corp. fraud. However, "the specific circumstances of this claim aren't covered by our bond," Phil Tschudy, CUNA Mutual Group media relations manager, told
News Now
. "We believe other entities have liability for the losses the credit unions have suffered and we are continuing to look for ways to assist the affected credit unions in seeking compensation for those losses," he added. Madison, Wis.-based CUMIS filed two declaratory judgment actions in June and August in Wisconsin state court asking the court to declare that the bond did not cover the losses suffered by Education Systems FCU. Education Systems FCU said it was served with the August 31 action on Nov. 23. "The declaratory judgment action we filed seeks only to have the court resolve the question around coverage," Tschudy said. "The action doesn't seek damages against the credit union. "We were hoping not to have to move forward with the litigation and have been working toward that end," he added. "However, in fairness to all of our policyholders, we need to abide by and defend the limits of our coverage to avoid having some credit unions subsidize the inactions of others. We remain hopeful this can be resolved in a manner that is fair for everyone." Education Systems FCU experienced losses when a servicing contractor hired to collect mortgage loan payments sold the loans to a third party without Educational Systems' authorization and kept the proceeds, the complaint said. Education Systems FCU was one of 19 credit unions defrauded by CU National Mortgage, which closed this year after filing for bankruptcy in February. Its president, Michael McGrath, pleaded guilty in June to defrauding about $139.6 million from the credit unions and Fannie Mae. McGrath admitted to conspiring with others to fraudulently sell credit union loans and use the proceeds to finance U.S. Mortgage's operations and investments for himself and the company (

DUBLIN, Ohio (12/8/09)--The Ohio Credit Union League and Ohio credit unions are meeting with state legislators to generate support for legislation that would allow Ohio credit unions to become eligible depositories for public funds. The bill, H.B. 317, is jointly sponsored by Ohio Majority Floor Leader Tracy Maxwell Heard (D-Columbus) and State Rep. Peter Ujvagi (D-Toledo) and 20 co-sponsors (
Dec. 4). The bill would include credit unions as eligible depositories for state, communities, schools and other public entities. Under the bill, credit unions also could participate in the Ohio Department of Development's Minority Business Enterprise Program and Capital Access Loan Program for small businesses. Credit union members would have access to linked deposit programs from the Treasurer of State, including GrowNow, SaveNow, Ag Link, ECO Link and Bid Ohio, the league added. Credit union leaders have met with State Rep. Nancy Garland (D-New Albany), a co-sponsor; State Rep. Ted Celeste (D-Grandview Heights), and State Sen. Tom Patton (R-Strongsville). During a meeting with Ujvagi, credit union leaders thanked him for supporting the legislation.

Texas Project NEFE Network reflects on success
Permanent link
FARMERS BRANCH, Texas (12/8/09)--The need for financial education programs and delivery channels has increased significantly in recent years, and the Texas Credit Union Foundation (TCUF) has remained at the forefront of this necessity, most recently by raising awareness of the National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE) program, said the Texas Credit Union League. The Third Annual Project NEFE Network meeting held last month in Dallas brought more than 75 Project NEFE Network members together for an all-day event that reflected on the accomplishments in 2009, recognized efforts being made by program advocates statewide, and prepared for the years ahead (
LoneStar Leaguer
Dec. 3). "Texas was the first state to launch the newly revised NEFE program in 2007 and since its implementation, the results made possible through statewide support across all institutions, from credit unions to community colleges, are genuinely impressive," noted Courtney Nickles, TCUF executive director. Staci Zale, TCUF associate director and Project NEFE Network liaison, confirmed the results through a presentation that revealed:
* As of Nov. 19, more than 71,800 NEFE High School Financial Planning Program (NEFE HSFPP) students guides have been provided through Texas; * An HSFPP online training video will be coming in 2010, through support and assistance from members statewide; * The "Make the Difference" campaign, through which events in communities are held to benefit students and young adults as they pursue financial education awareness, successfully gave out 18 grants through the program; and * In 2009, TCUF provided $40,000 in financial literacy grants, contributing to the $184,000 in general grants provided for the year.

Broker for liquidated CU accused of fraud
Permanent link
NEW LONDON, Conn. (12/8/09)--A late New London, Conn., stockbroker linked to the disappearance of $12 million from a defunct Connecticut credit union has been accused of fraud, according to documents filed with a securities firm regulator. Edwin F. Rachleff, a former employee of A.G. Edwards, is accused of misappropriating $7.5 million from one of his clients, according to online records from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). FINRA is an independent regulator for securities firms in the U.S. Rachleff, who committed suicide in August 2008, handled investments for New London Security FCU, New London, Conn. The credit union was liquidated in July 2008 by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). Authorities did not tie Rachleff's death to the credit union's failure. Rachleff's estate was sued by NCUA in March for $11.8 million in losses. The suit alleged that Rachleff created fraudulent account statements (

W.Va. league CUs work with those ignored by banks
Permanent link
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (12/ 8/09)--With 27% of West Virginia households unbanked or underbanked, according to a Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) survey, credit unions are stepping up to work with families ignored by the banking industry, said the West Virginia League. Credit unions are banks' archrivals, West Virginia Credit Union League's Rich Schaffer told
The Charleston Gazette
(Dec. 5). "Credit unions continue to work with struggling families who are often ignored by the traditional banking establishment," Schaffer added. "Now, more than ever, credit unions are available to serve as an alternative to paying high fees for basic financial services." The FDIC survey identified households as unbanked it they didn't have a checking or savings account, the newspaper said. Households were defined as underbanked if they had a financial account but relied on check-cashing services, non-bank money orders, payday loans, rent-to-own agreements or pawn shops at least once or twice a year, or refund-anticipation loans at least once in the past five years, the paper added. The majority of the state's unbanked are low-income people, and most poverty is found in rural counties, Sally Cline, West Virginia banking commissioner, told the paper.

Hit man at CU gets death sentence
Permanent link
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (12/8/09)--A hired hit man convicted in July of the murder of a naval officer outside a Virginia credit union in 2007 was given the death sentence Friday in U.S. District Court. In July, a U.S. District Court jury ruled that David A. Runyon, 37, met the criteria to be considered for execution for his role in the April 2007 shooting death of Navy Communications officer Cory Allen Voss, 30, which took place outside a Langley FCU ATM in Newport News. The murder was designed to look like a random robbery that went awry, authorities said (
Daily Press
July 23). In August, the same jury that found Runyon guilty also recommended he receive the death penalty. When U.S. District Court Judge Rebecca Beach Smith asked Runyon--a former police officer and U.S. Army soldier--if he wanted to say anything before she handed down the sentence, he answered, "No, Ma'am" (
Daily Press
Dec. 5). Last year, Voss' wife, Catherine Ann Voss, pleaded guilty to masterminding the plot so she could be with her boyfriend and collect roughly $500,000 in Voss' death benefits. In November, she was sentenced to four life terms (
News Now
July 24). Police say surveillance footage shows Runyon holding Voss at gunpoint. Voss went to the ATM at about 11 p.m. April 29. His wife reported him missing the next morning, and police found his body in the driver's seat of his pickup truck (
News Now
Dec. 18). A man convicted of being an accomplice in the murder of Voss was sentenced in November to three life terms in prison. Michael A. Draven, 29, was sentenced Nov. 17 in federal court in Virginia, after being found guilty July 17 of conspiracy to commit murder for hire, carjacking resulting in death, and murder with a firearm in relation to a crime of violence (

Delfin leaving NCUF to head Americas Charities
Permanent link
WASHINGTON (12/8/09)--National Credit Union Foundation (NCUF) Executive Director Steve Delfin is leaving
the foundation to become president and CEO of America's Charities effective Jan. 4, NCUF Chairman Allan Kemp McMorris has announced. The NCUF board will initiate a search for Delfin's replacement in the near future, added McMorris, who also is CEO of Oakland County CU, Waterford, Mich. The board has appointed Tom Candell, foundation managing administrative director, to serve as interim executive director while the board conducts the search for a permanent replacement. The NCUF board will focus on the process and procedures for the search at its next meeting in early January. Candell has been with the foundation for the past four years. Previously he was senior financial director for Meriter Hospital in Madison, WI. He has spent much of his career as a chief financial officer for nonprofits. McMorris thanked Delfin for his service and the work the foundation has accomplished since Delfin joined the organization five years ago. "The foundation during Steve's tenure has stood out for the caliber of its development work and thought leadership, especially on such issues as serving the underserved and emerging markets, and strategic philanthropy. On behalf of the NCUF board of directors, we want to thank Steve for all of his contributions, and we wish him the best in his next endeavor," he said. Delfin said his decision to leave was based on the specific opportunity with America's Charities, a federation of 180 national and local nonprofits that work with employers and employees to improve the effectiveness of their workplace charity donations using payroll deductions. "This was a very difficult decision because the work we are doing at NCUF is so important. But I've always had a passion for and have stayed engaged in expanding strategic workplace philanthropy." Credit Union National Association (CUNA) President/CEO Dan Mica also wished Delfin well and recognized key accomplishments that took place during his five-year tenure, particularly the organization's work around REAL Solutions. "Since January 2007, when NCUF took on REAL Solutions as its 'signature' program, the initiative has grown to encompass 33 states, with over 800 participating credit unions. It has tremendous potential for even more growth and sustainability," Mica noted. During that five-year period NCUF also nearly doubled the number of Development Educators through its Credit Union Development Education Program, initiated an Innovation Grants Program that more strategically aligns NCUF grants to credit unions and credit union organizations to REAL Solutions strategic goals and objectives, helped raise and distribute more than $4 million for financial education programs like the PBS BizKid$ TV series, and raised another $4 million-plus for credit union disaster relief.

Barry Gilbert, IEC Electronics Corp.'s chairman and CEO, saw an increase in his base salary in fiscal 2013, but a slight drop in his overall compensation.
Gilbert earned a base salary of $348,154, compared with $324,324 in fiscal 2012, a filing on Friday with the Securities and Exchange Commission states. Also in 2013, Gilbert received $135,547 in stock awards and $27,522 in other compensation for a total compensation package of $511,222.
In addition to his base pay in fiscal 2012, Gilbert earned $84,404 in stock awards, $83,695 in a non-equity incentive plan and other compensation of $27,522 for total compensation of $519,945.
Gilbert's compensation and that of other IEC executive offers were included in the proxy filing for the Newark firm's annual meeting, scheduled for Jan. 29 at its Wayne County headquarters.
Also at the meeting, shareholders are slated to elect six directors to serve until the 2015 annual meeting of shareholders, ratify the selection of EFP Rotenberg LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm and to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation paid to the company's executive officers.
Former IEC president Jeffrey Schlarbaum, who left the company over the summer and is now chief operating officer at LaserMax Inc., earned total compensation of $474,387 in 2013, including a base salary of $110,302, stock awards totaling $97,086 and other compensation totaling $267,000. In 2012, he earned total compensation of $370,238, including a base salary of $251,640.
Vincent Leo, chief financial officer, earned total compensation of $329,000 this year, all accounted for as other compensation. In 2012, he earned total compensation of $363,988, including other compensation of $246,388 and stock options totaling $117,600.
IEC states in the filing that Leo's compensation reflects fees paid to Insero & Co., where he is a partner under an agreement between the companies where Leo serves as CFO.
Donald Doody, executive vice president, earned total compensation of $307,904 in 2013, including a base salary of $228,935. In 2012, he earned total compensation of $297,151, including base pay of $205,526.

BALTIMORE -- In a city of row houses, it makes sense that the Orioles' success this year has been built game by game, at-bat by at-bat, pitch by pitch, brick by brick. They have one pitcher with more than 20 starts, a staff with one complete game and a bullpen that has contributed more than 500 innings. At the start of this season, their leadoff hitter was in Pittsburgh, their designated hitter was a pinch-hitter in Philadelphia and their third baseman was a shortstop in Bowie.

Celebrated novelist Justin Torres is a highlight of the free evening readings and presentations
Thursday, June 13, 2013
The evening readings include faculty readings, a film, a collaboration of poetry and musical accompaniment, and a June 24 visit by the highly celebrated novelist Justin Torres, author of the exquisite and blistering "We the Animals." Named one of Salon's "Sexiest Men of 2011," Torres received the Rolón United States Artist Fellowship in Literature, and is a Wallace Stegner Fellow at Stanford.
The program also welcomes acclaimed Young Adult novelist Sara Zarr to the Writing for Young People faculty. Another featured event of the series, on Wednesday, June 27, will include poetry by Thomas Sayers Ellis accompanied by saxophonist James Brandon Lewis.
The readings are presented by Lesley's Graduate School of Arts and Social Sciences' acclaimed Master of Fine Arts (MFA) Program in Creative Writing, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary. Steven Cramer, Associate Professor of Creative Writing and Director of the MFA in Creative Writing, organizes the summer series.
Cramer, a distinguished poet, is the recipient of the L.A. Times Book Prize Nomination, a Massachusetts Honor Book Citation, the Sheila Motton Prize from the New England Poetry Club, a Massachusetts Artists Foundation Fellowship, and a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship.
"Lesley's MFA in Creative Writing began with twenty-two students in 2003, growing over the last ten years to over 100 current students, 300 alumni and 30 faculty," Cramer says of the program. "We are now a durable part of the Boston/Cambridge literary landscape, and our faculty and alumni regularly contribute to the national wealth of contemporary writing."
The program has recently been named one of the Top Ten Low-Residency Programs by Poets & Writers magazine. Five years ago, the successful Writing for Stage and Screen track was added. In all five of the program's genres—fiction, nonfiction, poetry, stage and screen, and writing for young people—students attend two intensive residencies on campus per year, participate in one-on-one distance learning during semesters, and are offered what Cramer calls "online office hours" that provide much individual attention. The residencies build lifelong artistic communities among students and faculty. As part of Lesley's commitment to community engagement, the MFA program invites the public to attend evening readings and presentations from visiting authors, Lesley faculty, and graduating students.
The readings will take place in Lesley University's Marran Theater, 34 Mellen Street, Cambridge, Mass.

Debt: the radical way out
PUBLISHED: 13 Dec 2012 00:05:31 | UPDATED: 13 Dec 2012 03:50:06PUBLISHED: 13 Dec 2012 PRINT EDITION: 13 Dec 2012Maximilian Walsh
Economist and former Reserve Bank board member Warwick McKibbin reckons the US, Japan and the euro zone will need to cut their budget deficits by between 8 and 13 per cent of their national incomes every year if they are to return public debt to a sustainable level of around 60 per cent of gross domestic product.
Arithmetically, he is on the money. But these three economies are close to, or below, stall speed. Public sector saving on the scale suggested by McKibbin would see unemployment accelerate in a politically destabilising fashion. National income would shrink, creating a situation where the debt ratio would increase, not contract.
Seemingly, there is no escape from the debt trap in which our major global economies find themselves.
That's not quite correct.
We live in an era of unconventional economic policy exploration, formulation and implementation.
That's how and why we have two renowned economic commentators, Anatole Kaletsky (Reuters) and Gerard Minack (Morgan Stanley), independently concluding that the ultimate solution to the debt trap will involve disappearing much of the debt by consolidating the accounts of sovereign governments with their central bank.
It's a radical idea that would take fiscal governance into even deeper uncharted territory than is now the case.
But it does raise the possibility that properly managed as a one-off exercise, it could remove the greatest drag on the world economy.
As Kaletsky has pointed out, the first step in this direction actually occurred earlier this month when the UK Treasury decided to credit back to itself the interest payments it had been crediting to the Bank of England.
The BoE was in receipt of these interest payments because it held UK government bonds, acquired through its quantitative easing (QE) strategy, with a face value of £375 billion ($575 billion).
So in effect the government paid the BoE out of consolidated revenue and the BoE repatriated the same payment as a dividend. The net result was £35 billion was wiped off the budget deficit.
Kaletsky said: "The next logical step might be to cancel completely the £375 billion worth of bonds held by the BoE, thereby reducing reported debt by some 25 per cent of GDP."
Minack has come to basically the same conclusion by looking at the actual outcome of deleveraging debt, particularly in the US, since the global financial crisis erupted four years ago.
He found the deleveraging that had occurred mainly reflected writedowns, defaults, asset sales and banks' balance sheets shifting from credit funding, not saving.
He found the one financial institution that had not participated in the trend to lower leverage was the Federal Reserve. The Fed is now the largest holder of US government debt.
Minack acknowledges that cancelling government debt held by central banks would be highly controversial, but saving alone will not return debt to viable levels.
He says: "The current still-elevated leverage may be sustainable now but it will not be if recession returns. It seems likely that at some stage policy makers will face renewed recession, with leverage at extreme levels, and possibly conventional policy tools exhausted. Cancelling public debt may seem the least-bad alternative . . ."
While that may turn out to be true, there are reasons to be wary of such a policy.
Firstly, it would make the central bank an arm of the government's fiscal policies, compromising the concept of an independent monetary system.
Transparency of government financial activity would be reduced. Consolidating the fiscal and monetary accounts would provide a morally hazardous temptation to simply print money.
The primacy of inflation control by the central bank could be compromised, creating a loss of public confidence in the financial system.
However, all governments face, to varying degrees, a major challenge in financing the rapidly growing demand for their health and welfare services due to the ageing of their societies. The ability of political systems to manage the structural implications of these demographic changes is untested.
What can be said is that their ability to deliver acceptable outcomes is made extremely difficult by the debt trap many governments find themselves in.
That is why using the balance sheet of a central bank to accumulate sovereign debt and then cancelling it outright or freezing it in escrow is, at the very least, worth exploring.

Nymox Announces Presentation Of NX-1207 Data At Annual Meeting Of The European Association Of Urology
HASBROUCK HEIGHTS, N.J., March 18, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nymox Pharmaceutical Corporation (Nasdaq:NYMX) is pleased to report on the presentation of data on NX-1207, the Company's novel patented drug, at the European Association of Urology's annual meeting held in Milan, Italy. NX-1207 is currently in Phase 3 trials for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and in a Phase 2 trial for localized prostate cancer. Ronald Tutrone Jr, MD, FACS, the Medical Director of the Chesapeake Urology Research Associates of Towson, MD and an investigator in three prospective NX-1207 clinical trials as well as follow-up studies, presented new safety and immunological data in a detailed overview of the ongoing clinical development program for NX-1207 for the treatment of BPH entitled "Clinical Studies of NX-1207: Phase 3 Injectable for BPH."
Dr. Tutrone said "We have a large experience with many of our patients with NX-1207. We are very confident that the majority of patients will find NX-1207 to be the most attractive first line treatment for prostate enlargement once it becomes available."
Dr. Tutrone added "This is a new treatment paradigm for BPH with an excellent safety profile, and efficacy that is much better than standard medical therapy. It is office based and takes less than 2 minutes with no anesthesia and no catheter."
NX-1207 is in late stage Phase 3 development in the U.S. for the treatment of BPH, a common condition of older men associated with growth in prostate size as men age. Phase 3 trial activities of NX-1207 for BPH have begun in Europe sponsored by Recordati S.p.A., the company's European licensing partner. In the BPH studies to date, a single dose of NX-1207 has been found to produce symptomatic improvements about double that reported for currently approved BPH drugs without causing the sexual or cardiovascular side effects associated with those drugs. Follow-up studies have shown evidence of long lasting benefit with a significant proportion of men who received a single dose reporting maintained improvement in BPH symptoms without other treatments for up to 7½ years.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Bonus: Update Your "From" Name While you're in those settings, you might as well check that the "from" name is what you want it to be. We at PCMag always chuckle when we get an email indicating someone named "Work" or "PCMag account" is running late to a meeting.
So back up a page (i.e., go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar).
At the top during Accounts, you'll see all the accounts you have connected. Pick one by tapping it, and on the next page, pick Account. The page that pops up has a Name field. That's your "from" name. Note that not all accounts contain the same fields (Gmail and Yahoo! Mail are the same, but Hotmail doesn't have all the fields, for example).
I like to make mine just my name, except for the purpose of this image.
Tip: For the description, use the email address name. That way, you'll never be confused about which account you're accessing.
How to Change the Email Signature on Android
As with most instructions for Android phones, the details can vary slightly depending on the phone, service carrier, and email provider. The instructions here were validated using a Samsung Galaxy S III with MetroPCS.
Go into your Email app and select the account you want.
Tap the menu button and pick Settings.
You'll see a Signature section, most likely turned on by default. On my phone, there's a slider bar to turn the signature on and off. Tap it, and you can customize the sign off.
While you're there, you might want to check and update the Account name and Your name fields. I like the Account name to be the exact email address name so that I never get confused about which account I'm using.

Compared to the main line with 8.Be2 h6 9.Nf3 e4 10.Ne5 Bd6 11.d4 exd3 12.Nxd3 Qc7 13.b3, black is doing much better in the alternative 8.Bd3 Nd5! 9.Nf3 Bd6 10.0-0 Nf4 11.Re1 Nxd3 12.cxd3 0-0. 8...Nd5! is a very powerful move indeed.
I hate how the 4.c3 5.d3 line in the Italian sucks all the winning chances out of the game. Now the game has turned into a Ruy Lopez style game where white plays safe with little risk and black does not have much he can do. This alone may be a good reason to play the Two Knights Defense. GMs have been playing this line as the Ruy Lopez has been having trouble from the Marshall Gambit preventing this style.
After 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Ng5 d5 5.exd5 Na5 6.Bb5+ c6 7.dxc6 bxc6 8.Be2 h6 9.Nf3 e4 10.Ne5 Bc5 is probably a better way of playing this variation. You could lure white into an inferior position.
11.c3 Bd6 12.d4 exd3 13.Nxd3 Qc7 with the pawn at c3 interfering with the coordination of the pieces.
Another option is simply 11.0-0
CS007 in #83... "still in the experimental stage"
This stuff has been around since about WWII! How much more experimenting do we need!
So, Kasparov drew as Black in an exhibition rapid game against a +2400 and that's shocking?
Ok, so the +2400 player was only 13. That is shocking. It should be illegal to be that good and that young! Kasparov's result, not so shocking.
Hmm, what do you mean, exhibition game? It was a knockout rapid tournament.
CS007 in #84... "still in the experimental stage"
The first move of chess is still in the experimental stage
With Ng5, white makes a move that asks to be punished. I used to play this and scored a lot of quick wins against players as weak as I was that almost always recaptured on d5. I was promptly humbled when I lost a game against a Class A who played Na5, and when I played my trick with 8.Qf3, sac'd a second pawn with Be7. My king was killed without a real fight. A nice lesson: either learn a different line that didn't rely on a couple quick tricks, or put a huge amount of time into studying how to properly defend White's material advantage. After having some fun with the King's gambit I decided to learn the Lopez and I'm happy I chose that direction as I'm beginning to pick up on more subtle strategic/positional ideas.
Point is its mostly beginning/intermediate players who are interested in this line, and generally they play it for tricks. Whether or not White holds an advantage in theory is completely irrelevant for them, because if Black plays properly White's task is to defend in a complex tactical conflict, and this is very difficult without a good deal of study and high tactical acumen. IMO, all the fun is on the black side. I'm no expert, but I feel it might have been better for my development if I'd just begun by playing the Ruy, Scotch, or a more solid line against the two knights. Then again, getting one's pride hurt is a pretty sure way of making progress :-).
One different approach to what Tarrasch called a "duffer's move" (Ng5) is the Fritz variation that Hans Berlinger made poplular. His contention was that Na5 made the Knight decenralized and put it out of play, so as an alternative, he suggested Nd4.
Here is the earliest example I could locate (and seemingly where the variation name came from). It employs the Gruber line of the Fritz (5....Nd4 6.c3 b5)
How bout this game buddy?
So I looked up on the Lolli theory again. Black is doing a lot better than I thought. Playable maybe? I don't know if I would be picking 5...Nxd5 anytime soon.
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Ng5 d5 5.exd5 Nxd5 6.d4 and now:
6...Bb4+! is the critical move here.
6...Bb4+ 7.c3 Be7 8.Nxf7 Kxf7 9.Qf3+ Ke6 and white has tried a few moves:
10.Qe4 b5!? (10...Bf8 might also be playable) 11.Bxb5 Bb7 12.f4 Nf6 13.Bc4+ Ke7 14.Qf5+ Ke8 when black is still alive with a piece for three pawns, but nevertheless, white still should have an advantage after 15.fxe5.
10.0-0! looks best
10.0-0 b5?! 11.Bxb5 Bb7 12.Re1 Rf8 13.Qh3+ Kf7 14.dxe5 and white has a significant advantage.
Better might be 10...Na5
10.0-0 Na5 11.Qg4+ Kf7 12.Qf3+ =
White has another shot.
11.Bd3! Bf6 12.Re1 Nc6 13.Na3 Nde7 14.Bc4+ Kd7 15.dxe5 Nxe5 16.Rd1+ Ke8 17.Rxd8+ Kxd8 18.Qe4 N7c6 19.Bf4 Re8 20.Rd1+ Bd7 21.Qxh7 when black is still breathing, albeit on a respirator, but white is clearly winning.
11...g6 may be the only move. White will still have an advantage, but black is still on the board. As far as best play goes, this might be it. Black is not lost.
Ok, for one, Ng5 is recommended by Josh Waitzkin, who won several championships when he was younger. Na5 does not let the Fried liver, but for someone who is prepared to meet it, it is not that bad. Also, I believe this line to be more accurate than the lines given in the last few posts:
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Ng5 d5 5.exd5 Nxd5 6.Nxf7 Kxf7 7.Qf3+ Ke6 8.Nc3 Nb4 9.a3 Nxc2+ 10.Kd1 Nxa1! 11.Nxd5 c6 (11...Qh4 may be stronger) 12.Nc7+ Kd6 13.Nxa8 Qh4
That's not the Fried liver.
What are you refering to?
the very first post,
It's the Wilkes-Barre (or Traxler) countergambit.
Ok, for one, Ng5 is recommended by Josh Waitzkin, who won several championships when he was younger. Na5 does not let the Fried liver, but for someone who is prepared to meet it, it is not that bad.
What are you talking about?
4. Ng5 was the mainline before Josh Waitzkin was even born. Josh Waitzkin did nothing towards the theory for it, and is barely even GM strength.
Bringing Josh Waitzkin into it is like saying: "2. Nf3 is recommended by a GM who gave a simul at our club and won several tournaments when he was younger". It's ridiculous, no offence.
No you misunderstand me, he did not do anything for the teory, but he recommends it.
From my understanding, unless something drastic has changed in the assessment of the Polerio Variation, GMs consider the Two Knights Defense to be adequate.
Some GMs would believe the Two Knights Defense should be renamed to Chigorian's Counterattack.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 10-inch tube pan with nonstick cooking spray. In the bowl of a standard mixer, cream butter and 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Turn off mixer and add baking powder, baking soda, salt and eggs. Beat mixture 1 minute, then add sour cream and lemon zest from 2 lemons and beat just until mixed. Turn off mixer, add flour and beat again just until mixed. Remove bowl from mixer.
Remove 2 cups batter and set aside. Put remaining batter in prepared tube pan and smooth top. Return bowl to mixer and beat Neufchatel, lemon juice from 2 lemons and remaining 5 tablespoons sugar until fluffy, about 1 minute. Remove bowl from mixer and stir in 1/4 cup reserved batter. Spread cream cheese mixture over batter in pan, staying 1 inch away from sides of pan. Spread remaining reserved batter over cream cheese mixture and smooth top. Using a butter knife, gently swirl filling into batter using a figure-8 motion, being careful not to reach all the way to the bottom.
In a small bowl, make topping by combining almonds, 1/4 cup sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest. Sprinkle topping evenly over cake batter and gently press into batter to adhere. Bake 45 minutes, or until cake is just done. Remove cake to a wire rack and cool 1 hour. Then run a knife around outside of tube pan and place a cookie sheet on top. Reverse cake onto cookie sheet and remove pan. Put wire rack on bottom of cake and reverse. Now cake is on wire rack with topping side up. Allow to continue to cool, about 1 more hour before serving.
