Americans are seeing the light on LEDs
Blog Entry:
January 22, 2013 2:33 PM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
Have to make this a quick one today:
The LED bulb is emerging as "an energy-efficient replacement for the standard incandescent bulb that people actually seem to like," according to
New York Times
that includes comments from an executive at Aurora-based lighting manufacturer
TCP Inc.
"Although priced at around 20 times more than the old-fashioned incandescents, bulbs based on LEDs, or light-emitting diodes, last much longer and use far less electricity, a saving that homeowners are beginning to recognize,"
The Times
says. Prices for the bulbs are "falling steadily as retailers like Home Depot and Lowe's sell them aggressively" and manufacturers like TCP help to improve the technology.
"Most of the manufacturers are moving toward new designs in solid state lighting, as are we," says Jim Crowcroft, vice president for market development TCP, which makes energy-efficient lighting under its own brand as well as the house brands of several mass retailers.
Although TCP still sells far more compact fluorescent lights, growth in that business has slowed, while demand for LEDs is skyrocketing, according to
The Times
"In the long run, solid-state lighting is going to make a whole lot of sense for almost every lighting application," Mr. Crowcroft says.
LEDs do pose a challenge for manufacturers. They offer higher profit margins, but because they can last for decades, people will be buying fewer bulbs.
The Times
says the Energy Information Administration estimates that total light bulb sales will fall by almost 40% by 2015, to just under a billion from 1.52 billion bulbs, "and continue their decline to about 530 million by 2035, with LEDs making up a steadily increasing portion of the market."
Several U.S. cities, including Cleveland, have gun homicide rates that are
in line with the deadliest nations in the world
So says The AtlanticCities.com in a post drawn from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data.
Consider these numbers:
If it were a country, New Orleans (with a rate 62.1 gun murders per 100,000 people) would rank second in the world. Detroit's gun homicide rate (35.9) is just a bit less than El Salvador (39.9). Baltimore's rate (29.7) is not too far off that of Guatemala (34.8). Gun murder in Newark (25.4) and Miami (23.7) is comparable to Colombia (27.1). Washington D.C. (19) has a higher rate of gun homicide than Brazil (18.1). Atlanta's rate (17.2) is about the same as South Africa (17). Cleveland (17.4) has a higher rate than the Dominican Republic (16.3).
It's true, TheAtlanticCities notes, that the data compare comparing American cities to nations. But most of these countries here have relatively small populations, in many cases comparable to large U.S. metros.
"The sad reality is that many American cities have rates of gun homicides comparable to the some of the most violent nations in the world," the story concludes.
U.S. nuclear power generation today
fell to its lowest level in three weeks
as two reactors — including the 1,261-megawatt Perry 1 plant in Lake County — shut temporarily.
Bloomberg reports that output dropped 2.5% to 90,979 megawatts, or 89% of capacity, the least since Dec. 31, according to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission data compiled by Bloomberg. Production was 3.2% below a year ago, with 10 of 104 reactors offline.
Entergy Corp. on Monday shut the 1,250-megawatt Waterford 3 reactor near New Orleans. The plant automatically tripped offline after one of the steam generators reached a "low level condition."
Perry tripped offline early today, according to Bloomberg. The unit was at full power until its water level began to drop, according to Jennifer Young, a spokeswoman for plant operator
FirstEnergy Corp.
The levels have been restored to normal, she tells Bloomberg.
"The plant will remain shut down until the issue is fully understood and resolved," she says.
It turns out that more than a decade ago, the Cleveland Cavaliers
made NBA draft history
That history-making pick came in 2001. The selection: DeSagana Diop, with the eighth pick of the first round.
So what was notable about that pick?
The Wall Street Journal
No active NBA player has managed to last as long as Diop while playing so little. Diop, a 7-footer from Senegal, was drafted by the
Cleveland Cavaliers
but is now with the Charlotte Bobcats, for whom he is a healthy but increasingly noncontributing member. He didn't play in their loss to the Houston Rockets Monday, the third straight game in which he was active but didn't get in.
In Diop's 12 seasons, he has appeared in at least 50 games six times and made 93 starts. And yet, Diop has averaged only 14 minutes per game over his career. That translates to roughly 696 per season—easily the fewest minutes of any active player who has spent at least a decade in the NBA.

. I'm not whining. I'm stating a fact. Neither side ever cares about the fans in sports labor situations. Its just the way it is. I've accepted it, because it's not gonna change, it doesn't matter what sport it is. Fans bitch and moan about not coming back to whatever sport- and some don't. But over time, the majority of fans forget about these things and still spend money on the NHL, or the NBA, or the NFL. This is what both sides count on, because they pretty much know it to be true. Which affords them the luxury of not giving a sh!t. They know sports fans are addicts who need their fix.

. And I'm sure there are more like you. There may be people that, if this drags on long enough, get so fed up they don't come back for a few years, if they ever do. But not enough to actually make a dent in the $3 billion pie that both sides actually learn something and don't pull this sh!t again in 7 years, I can almost guarantee it.
FWIW, before the 2005 lockout my family had season tickets from 91-03. We shared them with another family so I went to see about 20 games a year. In the 2003-04 season I probably went to about 15 games too buying individual tickets. After the lockout between 05-06 season and the 07-08 season, I went to a total of about 5 or 6 games and didn't watch nearly as much hockey as I used to or buy as much Devils merch as I used to. It basically took me 3 seasons to get me back into hockey as much as I had before the last lockout.

James Mirtle @mirtle
Fehr about to describe three proposals. No. 1: Would have fixed share in first three years. Share then frozen until hits 50% (Year 3 to 5).
Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC
Says option 1 saves owners between $800M-1.1B. Sorry I missed numbers for second
James Mirtle @mirtle
PA option No. 2: Players will get 25% of any growth. Their share would hit 51% by Year 4 and 50% by Year 5 with 5% growth.
James Mirtle @mirtle
PA option No. 3: "We'll move to 50-50 as long as you honour contracts." Players get 13% up front to cover those contracts.
Renaud P Lavoie @RenLavoieRDS
NHLPA was ready to give 50/50 if all actual signed contract will be paid at 100% with no escrow.
Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun
Fehr says NHL rejected all 3 NHLPA proposals. Says NHL only willing to work off its Tuesday offer

I was on the PA's side but they clearly don't care to really get a deal done.. Screw the players
Posted 18 October 2012 - 05:04 PM
NHLPA's offer is not fair, they are making assumptions with crazy growth rate predictions and they are saying it will be 50-50 split when it is impossible when they want all existing contracts to be honored, its a joke!

This isn't baseball. The public was outraged over that strike and the loss of the 1994 World Series. It was the lead story on the newscasts every night. Moreover, a large majority of team owners were losing way too much money to let it keep going. Therefore, the owners eventually caved. In hockey, the money just isn't there for 22 of the 30 teams to cave into the player's demands and, quite frankly, nobody in the US outside us core die hard fans gives a sh!t about the NHL to put pressure on the owners and players to get this resolved. Hell, the NHL lockout has only gotten like 42 seconds of coverage on ESPN since September 15.
The players have no leverage here and they, along with the fans, are going to lose again when this gets resolved (and the players take a deal largely based upon the one they just rejected), probably sometime in September of 2013.
Posted 18 October 2012 - 05:08 PM
You are probably correct. I am just very frustrated.
Haha, so those NHL council creeps got to you too
Posted 18 October 2012 - 06:03 PM
I was so pissed off at MLB back in 94 that I have never,ever gone back to a game. I vowed to never spend a dime on MLB again. I was a HUGE fan of baseball. That's why it hurt so much when they cancelled the World Series.
I have become a one sport person and that is Hockey. I played, my kids have played all the way up through college etc. This really hurts. I am on the brink of taking another vow and ask for my Season tickets money back. I endured the last lockout but this is getting old.

By accepting the CBA, the players lose 1.66 billion over the WHOLE term. By losing a season, they lose out on 1.74 billion for just this year

If you thought a relaxing and stylish holiday with your children was a remote possibility then we've got a pleasant surprise for you.
In our handpicked, hand crafted world of blissful family holidays, we've shelved the fuddy-duddy legacy of 'self-catering' and created a whole new world of family holiday possibilities.
...And thrillingly, we're leading the way in creating a whole new concept in family friendly villas and cottages.
Our approach is unique and based on our belief that your family holiday is so important that it has to be as perfect as possible. That's why we've done your holiday homework - even the dull bits – to keep your children safe, to safeguard your holiday and to give you complete peace of mind.
So, here's a snapshot of what the Tots To Travel Team does to safeguard your precious family holiday. We are the one and only family holiday company going to such extreme lengths on your behalf.
This means that you can look at any of the beautiful villas and cottages on the site and choose the one that you love the most.
No other family holiday company goes to such extreme lengths to give you the peace of mind and a fabulous family holiday.
Choosing the very best great locations for families is a top priority so our team has scoured Europe in search of places that we think you'll love. Whether it's a secret hideaway off the beaten track at Finca La Luci on a Spanish hillside, all year round sunshine in a luxury villa in Gran Canaria or you fancy testing the flow rider on a short break near Padstow in Cornwall, then you're in the right place.
Once we're happy with the location, then we set about covering off the basics – this means keeping your children safe and ensuring you have the Essential Kit that you need.
Our work ensures that every pool is either enclosed or has some physical barrier to prevent the unthinkable, that you have a minimum of 20 baby and child friendly items from our Essential Kit and that the villa or cottage that you choose has been carefully vetted with an eye on keeping your children safe and creating environments for you to concentrate on having a fabulous family holiday.
Tots To Travel is the only family holiday company going to such extreme lengths to safeguard your holiday.
When my son Barnaby fell into an unenclosed swimming pool on a family holiday in France in 2005, it set in train an unstinting commitment to providing safe, family friendly holiday homes that provide the perfect backdrop for your holiday.
So it'll come as no surprise to find out that we don't faff around when it comes to pool safety.
Every single villa has some form of pool barrier. It could be a fence, a hard cover or an enclosure around the patio. A pool alarm does not cut the mustard as far as we are concerned; we believe that a physical barrier is necessary.
For the record, we are the only family friendly holiday company where every pool is barrier-ed in some way for child safety; it's too scary to have it any other way.
The next step is to visit the villa or cottage ourselves (it's a tough job but someone has to do it !). The emphasis is on making the place as safe as possible.
Our due diligence procedures have been based on a system that we developed with the Child Accident Prevention Trust (CAPT) to identify the hazards that really cause hurt and we take this part of our job very seriously.
Among other things, we are measuring bannister and balcony railings, window heights and checking that blind cords are out of reach and ensure that safety features are put in place where necessary. The list goes on but you get the picture. We're really nailing into what causes child accidents and doing the thinking so you don't have to.
On top of that we ensure that the obvious safety features that you take for granted at home are in place, this includes stairgates and cupboards locks where necessary, that bleach and other chemicals are locked away and knives and glasses are out of reach.
Sometimes, it is impossible to mitigate hazards completely and in these instances you will find that we have Parent Point-ed this information. This allows you to make a decision on whether a property is suitable for your family or not.
For the most part this very much depends on the age of your children and the "phase" that they are in. For example when your child is in the early stages of learning to walk and is in the 'wobbly' bit, split levels are a particular nightmare. A few months later, you're into another phase and different challenges present themselves.
In short, it's safety first. That way you can get on with the important job of enjoying your precious family holiday.
The next step in "covering off the basics" is to ensure that you have all the child and baby friendly kit that you take for granted at home. This means you can travel light safe in the knowledge that you will have what you need when you get there.
So our family friendly villas and cottages are especially well kitted out with at least 20 items that we deem to be our minimum standards. Of course many of our properties will have much more kit than this but we had to draw the line somewhere!
So this Kit has all the obvious and bulky "stuff" like cots and high chairs which is where most other holiday companies begin and end. Our unique Essential Kit Guarantee includes blackout blinds, hand blenders, baby monitors, toys and more.
This Essential Kit Guarantee leaves you free to browse the Tots To Travel website, safe in the knowledge that whichever villa, cottage or apartment you choose, you'll have exactly what you need for your holiday with your children.
...and in many cases, our child friendly villas and cottages often provide more than one of each, making our properties ideal for families with twins and multiples or for groups of families travelling together.
While we are on the topic, if you would like an extra cot or need something specific, then ask. More often than not our strong relationship with our Hosts means that the extras just aren't a problem.
I'm often asked what's my best piece of advice when it comes to planning a holiday with babies and children. And I always say, 'get expert help'. That one piece of advice alone will save you hours of searching, hours of wasted time and ultimately save you from making an expensive mistake.
My team know what it's like to holiday with small children and babies.
They know where the pressure points are and they know which of our child and baby friendly villas and cottages are just right for you.
They know just the right questions to ask and they'll listen carefully to your requirements.
Then they'll create a bespoke shortlist of villas or cottages that are just perfect for your family. And they'll keep hunting for the perfect villa or cottage until we find one that hits the mark.
This attention to detail is just part of why we have won the prestigious Cisco Customer Kings Award for outstanding customer service and oodles of feedback from families who have trusted us with their precious family holidays.
To get your own bespoke shortlist and to speak to one of my team, click here.
We believe that successful holidays are all about the finer details…and that an otherwise wonderful holiday can be ruined by the absence of a baby monitor, an unhelpful owner or bad weather.
We can't do anything about the weather (other than provide you with a table of average weather temperatures in our Holiday Planner Pack click here for that) but we have done an awful lot about everything else.
Our years of being parents and of working with families just like yours means that we know an awful lot about the pitfalls of taking small children and babies on holiday.
So, here's what has gone on before a villa or cottage gets anywhere near our website to give you the high levels that you should demand of a family friendly holiday company.
Step 1) Every property that comes to us has to pass through our European Property Team. There are 4 of us in that team and we are tough to please. Ultimately our job is to scrutinise holiday villas or cottages so you don't have to. That's a job we take seriously.
Step 2) If, and only if a property passes through our European Property Team then we take it onto the vetting procedure which is a 2-4 hour visit to the villa or cottage in question. This visit follows a strict process aimed at ensuring that your children are as safe as possible, that the villa or cottage actually exists (click here to find out more about avoiding holiday lettings scams) and that we can whole heartedly recommend a villa or a cottage to you.
Tots To Travel requires that our Hosts mitigate child safety hazards such as open water, stairs and the width of balcony railing in order to fulfil Tots To Travel's very high Baby and Child Safety Standards.
Step 3) Every step of the way, our procedures have been designed to mitigate the pitfalls that we know families fall into time and time again. And quite often it's the owners who are the problem.
Cleanliness is a huge problem, service standards are another, not being really committed to the family market another and an old fashioned idea about what renting out a villa or cottage really means (bring your own sheets and mop out backwards), yet another.
I could go on. Suffice to say that we only work with Hosts who really 'get it.' And by 'get it' I mean they understand that in your pre-baby days that you were more likely to book a boutique hotel room than a shabby, self-catering cottage and now that you have children and babies in tow, they are committed to giving you the very best family holiday they possibly can.
And we work together, in partnership with our Hosts. In many cases we have been partners for years and high levels of trust have developed. We know this high level of partnership benefits to families like yours in lots of ways.
It means that you'll find our Essential Kit Guarantee of 20 items or more in every property and it means your find plenty of added extras that you will simply not find anywhere else.
For example at Retallack, the family friendly resort near Padstow in Cornwall, you'll find exclusive offers like a £25 spa voucher with every Tots to Travel booking on top of our Essential Kit Guarantee which is only guaranteed for Tots families.
At the fabulously popular Aubriete, Massette and Mill End holiday homes at the Watermill, in the Languedoc in the south of France, the Tots Only Mum Friendly Package comes with a full fridge of food, free babysitting, a pizza night and a spa treatment of your choice. These are exclusive, Tots only benefits that you'll only find when you book with us.
Step 4) Having covered off the basics, the team at Tots To Travel get into crafting wonderfully, memorable family experiences.
This is the fabulous details where the magic of our knowledge and experience of what makes family holidays special comes to life.
This magic is the childcare at Penny's Place where you can organise for Penny, the Norland Nanny extraordinaire, to arrive at 7am (in the morning that is) to pick up the children leaving you to have a blissful lie in. This is the magic where at Chateau Blanc an amazing Indian Banquet is laid on for one night of your stay or at the Watermill where a bag of carrots or apples are provided for you to feed the ponies.
These unique and memorable details have been crafted by people who truly care about your holiday and are indicative of the unique partnership that Tots To Travel has built up with our amazing Hosts.
And I could go on but I think you get the picture. Suffice to say, whichever villa or cottage you look at, you'll find Tots To Travel is playing a unique role in helping to craft a safe, stress free and memorable family holiday for you and your children.
With this level of attention to detail taken care of, you can go about choosing the villa or cottage that you love, safe in the knowledge that each and every villa or cottage has been carefully handpicked, for its extreme levels of family friendliness with you in mind.
Sadly, more and more we hear how booking a holiday home on the internet is fraught with risk. All our systems and procedures have been designed to safeguard your holiday and your money. With any booking that you make with Tots To Travel your money and therefore your holiday is safe. We know the owners of each property personally – we have met them all.
You can pay us (a UK company) using your debit or credit card (there is a 2% fee for using credit cards) and you don't have to risk sending your money abroad to a complete stranger which you will have to do with any direct booking.

Goodrich edges Shain for 'Fitzy' award
Thursday, January 24, 2013
SANFORD — Sanford's Alex Shain, Cheverus running back Donald Goodrich and Cony's Chandler Shostak, the three Fitzpatrick Trophy finalists, had equally impressive stats and were certainly deserving of being selected the three finalists. But only one could be presented the prestigious award, and this year it was Goodrich who walked off with the prize at the ceremony held at the Holiday Inn by the Bay in Portland Sunday.
Goodrich, who transferred to Cheverus from York High School just before his junior year, scored 28 touchdowns in his senior year and rushed for 1,722 yards.

I renamed and improved the licence.

That means that it´s source is released

I ultimately plan to move my plugins to it. Read my post on how to move entire linux to it, aswell. http://paradoxuncreated.com/Blog/wordpress/?p=5801
Peace Be With You.
Uwaysi (author of the licence)
If you want a relatively simple license that keeps your code out of big companies, there's always the JSON license.
Unfortunately the license terms had some other side effects as well :
My research is at http://paradoxuncreated.com/Blog/wordpress/?page_id=62 .
Peace Be With You.
Paradox Uncreated, kid, I admire your confidence, and I'd say, from the way you debate, that you are still young.
I think that you have got this perfect world, but you have gotta understand that it only exists in your mind; of course for you it makes perfect sense, but for others it is just a childish, even contradictory world (the way you have exposed it). If you can't make yourself clear and concise, that means you are doing something wrong. So far you are so desperate that people get you, that you end up (don't take this the wrong way) making a fool. Obviously your logic, as you have exposed it, is far from superior; you express a bunch of unrelated ideas, but yet anything substantial.
I invite you to "take one or two steps back" (it's hard to do this when you are so sure you are right), and then look at the picture again; you will be surprised how fool you can be.
I hope you take my criticism in a good way, and sorry for my bad english.
Be truly in peace.
Peace Be With You.
In the path of god? LOL!
Wake up, reality is calling!
We don't need any more vanity licenses, it is counter-productive to the cause of free open source software. Use an already existing established license written by lawyers that will actually stand up in court.
License proliferation is hampering the free open source movement.
So you actually think you are a grown up, and that your arguments are logical and coherent, but you have failed to convince yet one person in this forum, and most arguments given by people here about "open source" and the like are far more simple, logical and convincing than anything you have said.
Time to wake up, kid.

Reviews of the Week
John Surman's solo album
Saltash Bells
keeps charming reviewers with its musical expressions of childhood memories
Lilting soprano sax dances over gruff and urgent baritone, there are solitary bass clarinet ruminations and dense and dancey synthesised rhythms. Here the lap of water in a muddy inlet is palpable, church bells echo from afar and a country dance held at The Crooked Inn is brought to life. Gently bucolic, with a hint that all may not be well.
Mike Hobart, Financial Times
Erhaben und ängstlich, ein wenig froh und noch öfter melancholisch sind Surmans Reflexionen über die Mächte, die einen durchs Leben ziehen. So gut er in Bands ist, noch intensiver tönt er ganz allein. Delikatessen für die Ohren sind das.
Samir Köck, Die Presse
The Guardian on Terje Rypdal's box-set
Odyssey - In Studio & In Concert
Aged 28, Rypdal [ ] formed his Odyssey quintet in 1975, and part of this three-disc set is the bands debut studio album a mix of dreamy sustain-pedal sounds, orchestral string-synth effects, and bursts of percussion-heavy rocking. The other two CDs (featuring previously unreleased material with Swedish Radios big band in 1976) represent the beginnings of the guitarists career as a composer. The pop-song structure of Better Off Without You, represent a very different Rypdal, and the guitaristss nine-part Unfinished Highballs suite is a kaleidoscope of ghostly woodwind scoring and church-organ sounds. Its an intriguing extra chapter to the Rypdal story.
John Fordham, The Guardian
The unique musical blend of Arianna Savall and Petter Udland Johansen
Hirundo Maris
enchants the Independent on Sunday
Arianna Savall (daughter of Jordi) is a harpist and singer with a boys treble. Petter Udland Johansen plays twangy/scrappy things and sings. The ensemble splices elements of Nordic and Mediterranean tradition into a drifting, formal but ballasted slow dance. Gorgeous.
Nick Coleman, Independent on Sunday
American critic Grego Applegate Edwards on Dennis Russell Davies' and the Stuttgarter Kammerorchester's recording of music by Witold Lutoslawski and Béla Bartók on
Musique funèbre
A pairing of Witold Lutoslawski and Bela Bartok isn't a big stretch. After all, they were both Eastern European, both lived and worked in the 20th century, each in their own way were modern innovators, and Bartok was a major influence on Lutoslawski. But it works especially if the program leads off with "Musique Funebre", written by Lutoslawski to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Bartok's death. [ ] So there you have it - a kind of alternation between the somber and the earthy, the question of influences, some somewhat unstandard juxtapositions and an excellent series of performances by Dennis Russell Davies and the Stuttgarter Kammerorchester.
Grego Applegate Edwards, Classicalmodernmusic.blogspot.com
German daily Rheinische Post on Estonian vocal group Vox Clamantis'

What's in a purchase price? It's all based on your perspective
Blog Entry:
August 14, 2013 9:04 AM | Author: SEAN SAARI
Sean Saari is a principal in Skoda Minotti's Valuation and Litigation Advisory Services group.
With football season on the horizon, I can't help but think about Sept. 24, 2012 — a night that many football fans will not soon forget. The Seattle Seahawks were playing the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football.
The game was down to the wire and Seattle trailed 12-7 with only a few seconds remaining. With time expiring, Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson heaved a 24-yard pass to receiver Golden Tate in the end zone. Green Bay defensive back M.D. Jennings positioned himself in front of Tate and elevated to intercept the pass. Thunk! Jennings ended up with the ball tightly secured against his chest on the way to the ground … with Tate desperately grasping at the ball from behind Jennings as he lay underneath him in the end zone.
After numerous replays, the referees (who happened to be replacement officials since the regular officials were on strike) ruled that Tate had caught that ball for a touchdown even though Jennings had it securely in his grasp. The ruling may go down as one of the worst calls, if not the worst, in NFL history.
That was a great night to watch football for the casual fan — a close game with a dramatic and controversial finish. For Seattle Seahawks fans, it must have been a night of wild ups and downs with the game ending on a resounding upswing. It was likely one the worst nights in recent years for Green Bay Packers fans: losing a game due to a blatantly incorrect call with no time left on the clock.
The biggest winners of all may have been the NFL referees, with whom the NFL quickly reached an agreement on a lucrative new contract in the days following this replacement refereeing debacle.
This game shows a single outcome can mean many different things to different people based on their perspective. The same concept applies to transaction purchase prices. A single purchase price can be presented many different ways, each with its own meaning yet all based on the same agreed-upon amount. Below are three common ways that a single purchase price may be calculated and presented:
Cash paid
: This is the simplest approach to presenting a purchase price, but looking at this alone can be misleading. It is not uncommon for purchases to be reported based on the amount of cash paid at closing, but it doesn't consider other components of the purchase price that may end up being well in excess of the cash paid at closing.
GAAP purchase price
: The purchase price of a transaction under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) includes not only cash paid at closing, but also the value of any stock issued to the seller, deferred payments or contingent consideration. Contingent consideration is often structured in the form of an earnout in which the buyer must make additional payments to the seller if certain targets or thresholds are met. GAAP requires that the fair value of any contingent consideration be determined as of the transaction date and recorded as a liability on the acquirer's balance sheet, effectively treating it as part of the purchase price.
I've written previously on earnouts
Enterprise value
: In the valuation of the intangible assets of an acquired company after a transaction is complete, enterprise value is used as another derivation of purchase price. It is based on the GAAP purchase price plus the value of any interest-bearing debt assumed in the transaction. Enterprise value is often considered the value of a company as a whole, regardless of how it is financed.
Based on these three perspectives, the purchase price of a transaction can look vastly different. Let's assume that a transaction calls for $10 million in cash to be paid up-front, $50 million in stock to be issued to the sellers, an earnout of 5% of revenue from the sale of an in-process research and development project capped at $100 million (the fair value of which was determined to be $35 million), and the assumption of $150 million in debt. The various purchase price amounts would be as follows:
Cash paid
: $10 million
GAAP purchase price
: $95 million ($10 million cash + $50 million stock + $35 million fair value of contingent consideration)
Enterprise value
: $245 million ($95 million GAAP purchase price + $150 million in debt assumed)
As evidenced by this example, a single purchase price can be interpreted in many different ways, much like the outcome of the Seahawks-Packers game. Therefore, when considering the prices of various transactions, it is important to know how those prices have been calculated so that you have a consistent perspective and are not comparing apples to oranges (or footballs).

Latest update : 2011-05-18
Ongoing protests in Syria
Protests continue in Syria against Bashar al-Assad's regime. British web users are bypassing UK privacy laws. And a pilot makes an emergency landing on a Quebec highway.
Ongoing protests in Syria
A grisly discovery in Deraa. With a video to support their claims, the opposition has reported the uncovering of a mass grave in the southern part of the city where the army had been deployed to quash the protest movement. The government has dismissed these claims and denounces a media-led smear campaign to destabilize Syria.
But the fact remains that numerous difficult to verify documents continue to emerge online denouncing the repression. In this video which appears to have been filmed in Idlib, near to the city of Aleppo in north western Syria, a man claims to have been taken in for questioning and beaten up by security forces.
According to human rights organizations, hundreds of other protesters are still being held in detention. These women gathered in Homs on Monday to demand their release, whilst condemning the recent wave of arrests in their city.
But despite the repression, protests against the al-Assad regime continue across Syria. These images are thought to have been filmed in Jisr ash-Shugur in the north west of the country. They appear to show protesters chasing members of the Baath party from their headquarters before setting the building on fire.
The Facebook group at the heart of the unrest that has rocked Syria for more than two months now, is now calling for a general strike on Wednesday, and is notably asking the thousands of web users who have joined the page to print out this anti-government pamphlet to hand out to the public.
Super-injunctions: Internet is making a mockery of UK privacy laws
A song denouncing 'super injunctions' in the UK: this track was posted on the Internet by musician Dan Bull as debate is raging over these legal proceedings. In the UK, well-known figures can apply to courts for super injunctions which prohibit the media from publishing information on their private lives and reporting even the existence of the injunction.
But the internet recently jeopardized the system. Last week, an anonymous Twitter user released the names of numerous celebrities who have taken out super injunctions to stop their extra marital affairs being disclosed.
Bloggers had previously campaigned against these super injunctions, and in view of recent revelations, they have revived their crusade for freedom of expression. This interactive document has been posted online to catalogue injunctions issued by courts protecting actors, singers, footballers and also companies.
This Facebook group reminds people that Trafigura had obtained a super injunction to stop the press revealing the company's involvement in the Probo Koala affair: in 2006, the ship dumped 500 tons of toxic waste in Ivory Coast, contaminating thousands of people.
But as far as lawyer Carl Gardner is concerned, freedom of expression is simply a pretext used by certain parties so they can spread unfounded rumours. He believes that in a country where tabloids make their money from gossip, the current law makes it possible to have a certain balance between respecting people's privacy and informing the public.
History Pin
Share photos and stories by locating them on an interactive map. This is what the site History Pin is offering: it's a kind of time travelling machine which web users can use to post their memories of a particular place online. These pictures can also be superimposed on images taken by Google for the Street View service. It's an original way of learning about the history of a place, by using accounts from web users.
Ask a Marine
"Why did you decid to become a marine ?" or "do you need to have special training to become a sniper?". Members of the Marine Corps have been answering web users' questions on their YouTube channel. This branch of the US army encourages people to contact them via social networks. It's a new way of communicating with the public and with potential new recruits in particular.
Video of the day
The pilot of this small tourist plane is fast becoming an online sensation. as we can see in this video which was filmed at the end of the April, and which has enjoyed huge success on sharing sites ever since, the young man is confronted with an engine problem and has to make an emergency landing .. on a highway in Quebec. It looks like something out of a Hollywood film, and luckily no one was hurt, although motorists witnessing the event must have been pretty surprised.

Lack of audio or cell phone functionality may be related to the failure of the audio gateway module.
Car problem reports
Problem with your car? See what our experts say or submit your own.
Repairpal verified 2010 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG problems
Tire Wear Caused By Worn Front Thrust Link Bushings
Irregular and premature tire wear can be caused by the front thrust link bushings cracking and causing excessive movement in the suspension. The thrust link bushings are fluid-filled (to help reduce vibration), so if they crack, they will leak oil.
Early Versions of Central Gateway Module Have Software Problems
The early versions of the central gateway module (which allows different systems to communicate with each other) have software problems.
Low Vehicle Ride Height Due to Leaking Rear Air Springs
Rear air springs (bellows) may develop leaks, which causes the air pump to run more often to maintain ride height. Our technicians recommend that leaking air springs be replaced.
Airmatic Pump Motor May Fail Due to Sticking Relay
The relay which turns the airmatic suspension pump on may fail causing the pump to run continuously. This can result in failure of the pump motor or a dead battery as the pump motor will continue to run after the car is turned off. Also, Worn airmatic pump mount bushings can causes noises in the front axle while driving on bumpy roads or a buzzing noise while the pump is running.
ABS Modulator Failure Due to Dirty Brake Fluid
It is not uncommon to encounter premature failure of the anti-lock brake system (ABS) modulator assembly due to dirty brake fluid. Our technicians recommend flushing the brake fluid every two years in order to help prevent this problem.
Squeaking/Worn Brake Pads May Require Rotor Replacement Also
Due to the size and material used on the brakes of these vehicles, the brakes may start to squeak around the 50 percent wear point. The brake rotor surfaces become uneven, causing a lip to form at the outer edge of the rotor. Because of this, the rotors are usually replaced when the pads are worn (pad life varies depending on driving style and terrain).
Cracked Driveshaft Flex Discs May Cause Driveshaft Movement/Vibration
A vibration felt through the center floor of the vehicle can be caused by driveshaft flex discs, which crack and shred, causing excessive driveshaft movement. Not repairing these can cause damage to the driveshaft center support bearing, or, in the worst case scenario, damage to the transmission or differential.
Brake Light Switch Failure May Cause ESP/BAS Warning Lights
The ESP and BAS warning lights may illuminate due to a failed brake light switch. Replacement of the failed switch should correct this concern.
Computer system software updates may cost money if car is out of warranty
Many software updates are available for the different computer systems, but if the vehicle is out of warranty, it may cost money to receive the updates (unless it is a recall). Some updates may be dealer-only, but a well-equipped independent shop can usually provide updates as well.

Nikki Haley to introduce Romney at CPAC
(cnn) — South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley will introduce Mitt Romney at a gathering of conservative activists on Friday, a GOP source told CNN.
Haley, who endorsed Romney early in last year's Republican primary contest, wasn't previously listed as a featured speaker at the Conservative Political Action Conference, the annual confab of activists that's taking place this week at a resort just outside Washington in suburban Maryland.
Romney is scheduled to speak Friday, his first major speech following last November's election.
In December 2011, he won Haley's backing amid a crowded Republican field of candidates. The endorsement came weeks before South Carolina's "first in the South" presidential primary.
Romney placed second in that contest behind former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
Haley was elected governor in 2010 with backing from the tea party. She became the state's first female governor and the second Indian-American elected to a governorship, after Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal.
At 40, she is currently the youngest governor.

It will be the one of the most-watched pregnancies in modern times. So what will life be like for the newest member of the royal family? A royal family expert in Houston said certain traditions might change for the new generation of British royalty.
"She is going to be the most famous mother in the world. Whatever happens, she will be watched the whole time," said Cathy Hollowell, referring to the Duchess of Cambridge.
Hollowell is a former British journalist now living in Houston. She covered the royal family extensively and said it's tradition for a princess to become pregnant within a year of marriage. It took Will and Kate a little longer, but then again, the couple is known for bending the rules.
"These two live together, they met at university, they're very attractive people but they're also hard working people," Hollowell said.
Hollowell expects certain traditions will be followed.
"They will go through the regular royal procedure. They will have pictures taken on the lawn on a little rug of the baby or babies. Will she have a nanny? Of course she'll have a nanny. Who wouldn't have a nanny if they could."
And whether it's a boy or a girl, Hollowell predicts another tradition will hold.
"It won't be a modern name," she said.
But other customs might take a back seat. For example, Hollowell believes Kate's parents will play an active role in the child's upbringing.
"Her parents will be very involved. I think Carol, her mother, will be spending quite a lot of time with her," Hollowell said.
What about Uncle Harry and Aunt Pippa? Will the birth of a niece or nephew tame their wild side? Hollowell isn't so sure.
"Uncle Harry … that's going to be interesting, isn't it? Perhaps he'll mend his ways."
Some British expats living in Houston said they also think the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge won't be afraid to break the mold, much like Princess Diana did.
"I think he's strong enough to say what he wants for his own child and how he or she is raised," said Helen Taylor.
"It seems to me that William has benefitted from Kate Middleton's family and it all looks from the outside to be picture-book good," said Guy Streatfeild, who owns British Isles in Houston.
Hollowell said that while tradition might provide a foundation, the royal family has shown it can get with the times.
"The great thing about the royal family is that they follow the indication of the rest of society," she said.
Queen Elizabeth announced her first pregnancy just shy of her first anniversary. Princess Diana announced her first pregnancy 11 months after her marriage to Prince Charles. Diana was the first member of the royal family to give birth in a hospital.
