Explore Herzegovina Mostar Excursions from Mostar Trebinje Share Wedged into the far south of the country, little Herzegovina is less known than its big brother, Bosnia, but this land of muscular peaks and rushing rivers arguably has more to see. Pride of place goes to Mostar and its famed Old Bridge, but it's worth venturing outside the city to see little Blagaj, or to absorb the religious curiosities of Međugorije. Those on their way to Dubrovnik or Montenegro should also call in at Trebinje, by far the most pleasant town in the Republika Srpska. Read More

"We're talking about fried foods, french fries, hamburgers, processed meats, hot dogs," bacon, ham, liver, gizzards, and sugary drinks, said the study's leader, Suzanne Judd of the University of Alabama in Birmingham. People who ate about six meals a week featuring these sorts of foods had a 41 percent higher stroke risk than people who ate that way about once a month, researchers found. In contrast, people whose diets were high in fruits, vegetables, grains, and fish had a 29 percent lower stroke risk. "It's a very big difference," Judd said. "The message for people in the middle is there's a graded risk," meaning the likelihood of suffering a stroke rises in proportion to each Southern meal in a week.

Another Use For Canning Rings
I have a million canning rings.
There is no way that I will ever use all of them at the same time, so
either I have to start stuffing mattresses or I need to find a use for them.
Egg Sandwich
Grease the rings really well.
I used butter.
Place them in your frying pan.
Crack eggs into the rings.
Cook on low, flip and cook on the other side.
Serve on round bread or hamburger buns.
Thanks for the eggs Ladies!
For example, the broccoli seeds that I started in my house last spring, planted and watered all summer and then fed to my Ladies (chickens) last week turned into an egg that I ate today.

The BizSpark startup of the day is RIM Systems, based in the US. You will find below an interview with John Sheehan, Founder of RIM Systems. All the best to them and congrats for being the startup of the day!
Website: www.snapleague.com.
I am the founder and sole employee. While I've contracted out various tasks throughout the history of RIM Systems, I am the primary driving force behind it.
I've worked in various IT roles since starting my first computer repair business while I was in high school. I've done computer repair, web site design, help desk, desktop support, systems administration and for the past 5 years, .NET web site and application development.
It's nice to be noticed. That's the great thing about the internet these days. Single-employee companies run on the side can build something worth mentioning!
We want to build user experiences that empower people to do greater things than they could have done without our apps. It's intentionally vague. I don't want to limit where we take this thing.
I've always loved sports and I've played them for as long as I can remember. A few years back I built a site for my softball league that became very popular and people were always asking me if they could buy a version for their league. After hearing that enough times I thought there would be no better way to combine my two biggest passions (sports and the web) than starting a company to focus on the intersection. Solving my own problems has been a great way to keep my perspective focused on the user first.
I had the opportunity to build a site for the Minnesota Twins Community Fund (playballmn.com) that provided me the necessary seed capital to get RIM Systems off the ground. We've been bootstrapped ever since. We are not currently actively seeking funding, but I would be open to discussing any funding possibilities.
Me, and me. As I mentioned, I've contracted out some work along the way, but I'm the only employee right now.
We are not hiring. I'm definitely looking for a designer to compliment my development skills, but it won't be a traditional hire.
If you retrace my programming lineage it goes back to BASIC on an Apple II followed up by Visual Basic 3 some years later. Since then I've been developing on the Microsoft stack doing ASP/VBScript when I first moved to the web and then onto ASP.NET/C# around the time .NET 2.0 was released. In general, I don't find that the platform limits what I want to do and while it was tempting to jump ship once I reached the limits of where ASP.NET Webforms would benefit us, ASP.NET MVC jumped in and rescued me from Rails J Microsoft has shown some real progress opening up the platform through making source available and shipping great open source libraries like jQuery with Visual Studio that I feel confident the platform will continue to meet my needs. And with the addition of Azure I can continue reusing my existing skill set to develop cloud applications without needing to invest a lot of time learning a new framework, which is very exciting.
Obviously mobile is huge. You can't release a product now without addressing the mobile story from the get go. The more powerful the devices in our pockets get, the less we need to spend any time on a computer. I think it will be key to make sure your applications reach people where they are. Some people will want a mobile-only experience while others will hold on to the traditional desktop experience (or the analog experience) for as long as they can. Connecting people across disparate mediums will be a distinguisher between good products and bad ones.
BizSpark has been fantastic for RIM Systems. It gives us access to everything we need to build the products we want to build. BizSpark is another indication of Microsoft recognizing competitive pressures and stepping up to the plate and addressing them. It hasn't always been sexy to be a startup on the Microsoft platform, but BizSpark is helping to turn the tide.
Just build it! Don't waste time pouring over ideas. Take the first one that comes to mind and start building it until you either run into a dead end or realize a better idea. You'll learn WAY more by trying to solve a problem then you will thinking about it. Also, always question your assumptions. Learn how to ask good questions and turn problems inside out. Users will love to tell you the solutions they want, but listen for the underlying problem and make sure you solve that.
Anyone who says, "There must be a better way!" then goes out and builds a better way.
Genuinely care about your users.

Solid-phase synthesis of a focused library of trypanothione reductase inhibitors
De Luca, S., Ulhaq, S., Dixon, M. J., Essex, J. and Bradley, M. (2003) Solid-phase synthesis of a focused library of trypanothione reductase inhibitors. Tetrahedron Letters, 44, (15), 3195-3197. (doi:10.1016/S0040-4039(03)00438-6).
Full text not available from this repository.
A focused library of inhibitors of the enzyme trypanothione reductase was prepared using solid-phase synthesis. The inhibitors were based on a previously identified, non-competitive, lead compound comprising of two Pmc (2,2,5,7,8-pentamethylchroman-6-sulfonyl) side-chain protected, N-capped arginine residues linked by a spermidine bridge. In total six protecting groups and four capping groups were used to generate a 24-membered library. All compounds bearing the 5-methoxyindole-3-acetic acid capping group were found to have good activity. The most potent inhibitor was observed to contain the Mtr (4-methoxy-2,3,6-trimethylbenzenesulphonyl) protecting group on the arginine residue, terminated with tryptophan as the capping group.

Sell-Off, So What? Analysts Are Sticking to Their Guns The market sell-off since the start of the year may have sent investors scurrying for cover, but it's getting a yawn from analysts who are sticking with their 2014 calls.
U.S. Stock Market Poised for Another Huge Drop The bad news is that the stock market, as measured by the S&P 500, sits at 1,131, a low point it hasn't traded near consistently since late 2009. The worse news is that there's every reason to believe it will decline further to below 900, back to levels it hit around March 2009.
China Hikes Rates, and the World Stumbles China surprised international markets Tuesday by raising key interest rates for the first time in three years. The action, taken primarily for domestic reasons, caused a worldwide sell-off driven by the worry that it could cause the Chinese economy to slow down.

help me understand..
y cant facebook, twitter etc develop their own apps for bb???
y do they depend on bb development team to make it for them???
wont it b even great if they do it themselves... expect awesome user interface, n loaded with missing features.
anyone plz help me understand
i know bb makes them their data plan dependent,,, but what do fb and twitter gain out of it.. i guess if its not bis/bes dependent it will reach a large customer base and thus more clicks for them and ultimately will earn them more money.Last edited by shahidzor; 12-29-12 at 02:43 AM.

now any scope for the down-gradation.. whatt i mean is, if they have developed an app for bb10. do they plan to make one for bbos -
The FB app on my 9930 is fine. If RIM built it and their the ones that keep improving it, I say job well done.

Must sound like a silly question but if RIM makes those social networking sites for FB and Twitter why can't they make Instagram as well wouldn't be the same thing as developing the FB or twitter?
I think it's because Facebook and twitter have public API's, so RIM can make their own app and tie into those. That's why there are several twitter and Facebook apps/clients out there. Where as something like Instagram is closed and can only be developed by Instagram. Though I do think that for apps like that RIM should contact the developer and propose a deal where RIM would make the app themselves and a portion of the revenue would go to the original developer. I actually made a thread about this a while back.
Edit: here is my original thread started last feb. It's kinda neat that some of those things I mentioned will be in BB10.
RIM's Playbookall smartphones are tools.
android = 48pc tool set (you"ll eventually find the tool you need, but some assembly required)
iphone = swiss army knife (most of the tools you need in a small, simple to use package)
blackberry = adjustable wrench (sometimes all you need is a wrench)
windows phone = bionic wrench (its different....but it works) - 12-29-12, 06:02 PM #12Retired: 8703, 8130, 8330, 9630, 9800, 9900, PlayBook

Jewish World Review May 24, 2013 / 15 Sivan, 5773 The News in Zingers By Argus Hamilton
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com |
• President Obama flies to Oklahoma City Sunday to tour the tornado damage and talk with local survivors. It'll really help. There are three tornadoes heading for the White House from Capitol Hill next week and Obama wants to find out which room he'll be safest in.
• President Obama said he didn't hear about the IRS scandal until it came on the news Friday. He said he didn't hear about the Justice Department scandal, and he didn't hear about the Benghazi cover-up. Every seventeen years, those ciccadas drown out everything.
• Michelle Obama gave a commencement speech Sunday in Nashville. She said she could talk all afternoon about her husband's failures. The president is in enough trouble with all the scandals, we don't need to know that his heart isn't healthy enough for Viagra.
• Anthony Weiner and his wife Huma announced he'll run for mayor of New York this fall. He resigned from Congress after he got caught sending lewd texts to women he'd met online. His wife spent the last four years studying under Hillary Clinton at Camp Lookaway.
• Mel Gibson's former girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva was interviewed by Howard Stern on his radio show Tuesday. She revealed she's joined the J-Date website and is searching for a Jewish boyfriend. It's probably against the law for her to kill Mel Gibson any other way.
• O.J. Simpson said Monday his white supremacist cellmate helped him to plan his legal petition for a new trial. It all worked out. O.J. got to appear in court on national television and the white supremacist got to see a black man in chains, so it's a win-win for everybody.
• Sergio Garcia apologized Wednesday for saying he will invite Tiger Woods to dinner during the U.S. Open and serve fried chicken. They both have their supporters. Nothing brings the sport of golf up-to-date like a gang war between Hispanics and blacks in the grill room.
• Los Angeles voters voted to limit the number of medical marijuana dispensaries in the city to one hundred and thirty-five Tuesday. It was getting out of hand. Voters were getting tired of walking past a marijuana dispensary on the way to their own mailbox.
• The House Oversight Committee announced Wednesday it will recall IRS official Lois Lerner to testify again after she pleaded the fifth. This'll be good. She knows exactly how many of the Members listed the cost of their mistresses on their tax returns under Snacks.
• The Justice Department was revealed Friday to have tapped five Fox News phones. In addition, a CBS reporter's computer was bugged. We're just a special prosecutor away from replacing our first black president with the first president from the Hair Club for Men.
• The Pentagon suspended General Bryan Roberts for committing adultery Tuesday. It is a miliary punishment completely apart from civilian statutes. Under U.S. military law, adultery is a felony, as opposed to the rules of the House and Senate, where it's mandatory.
• Jodi Arias asked the jury to spare her life Tuesday, saying she's learned she can make a positive contribution to the world from prison. She does have huge entertainment value. If you think Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbone had great swordfights in the old movies, wait till you see Sadie Hawkins Day at the prison when Jodi Arias asks O.J. Simpson to dance.

Multivalence of meaning
There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meaning than any other two-letter word, and that is UP.
It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP?
At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report?
We call UP our friends. And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car.
At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special.
And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.
We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look UP the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-size dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and its definitions add UP to about thirty.
If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP.
When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP. When it doesn't rain for a while, things dry UP.
One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now my time is UP. So . . . time to shut UP.
Oh, one more thing: What is the first thing you do in the morning and the last thing you do at night?

Stavropoulou, Charitini and Glycopantis, Dionysius (2008) Conflict in the doctor-patient relation and non-adherence: a game theory approach. LSE Health working papers, 10/2008. LSE Health, London School of Economics and Political Science, London, UK. ISBN 9780853280033
Download (252Kb) | Preview |
Abstract Non-adherence to medication leads to reduced health outcomes and increased health care costs. More evidence and analysis is needed to understand the determinants of non-adherence, particularly the impact of the doctor-patient interaction. This relationship is often characterised by conflict during consultations. The aim of this paper is to investigate whether a game theoretic approach can explain the conflict during consultations that lead patients to non-adhere to medical recommendations. The game theoretic models constructed employ the Psychological Expected Utility theory. There is a distinction between information-loving and information-averse patients. Doctors do not always know the type of patient they have and on the basis of limited knowledge, they need to decide how much information to pass on. We relax the assumption of perfect agency and introduce the concept of the doctor's effort. Uncertainty is resolved under various hypotheses of bounded rationality. A complete resolution of the games is offered, and comparative statics results and economic interpretations are given. When a doctor knows with certainty the type of patient she has, she will transfer adequate information and the patient will adhere. If the doctor cannot recognize the patient's need the outcome may be non-adherence to recommendations. Doctors who understand patients' needs improve adherence rates. To enhance adherence, a number of policy recommendations are made. Financial incentives to the doctor do not benefit all types of patients.

The inauguration will transform Washington, where most federal offices would be closed for the King holiday, by shutting down streets downtown and bringing regular daily life in the city to a halt. Viewing stands are set up along Pennsylvania Avenue for the parade from the Capitol to the White House. Street lamps will be removed, then replaced at the day's end. It takes lots of people to pull it all off. There are 550 people working for the Presidential Inaugural Committee, 1,300 members of the military coming in support roles and countless security officials, including police from multiple agencies and Secret Service providing security. The cost is high: Tens of millions of dollars in donations typically are raised to pay for the parade and parties, more than $1 million is appropriated by Congress for the swearing-in ceremony and security costs are kept under wraps but also covered by taxpayers. Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who oversees the ceremony on Capitol grounds, has committed to preventing the crowd problems that marred the 2009 celebration, when thousands of ticket holders got stuck for hours underground in what became known as "the purple tunnel of doom." That
Third Street tunnel is being closed. Schumer says there will be better signs to direct attendees, and staff will monitor Twitter and other social media to detect and address any problems. Obama's inaugural theme, "Our People. Our Future," is meant to reflect the strength of Americans, their ability to overcome challenges and the country's diversity. Diversity has been a focus in choosing participants throughout the festivities, with performers representing a range of demographics and parade participants from all 50 states. The entertainment, too, reflects a variety of musical talents, with Beyonce, Kelly Clarkson and James Taylor performing patriotic standards at the swearing-in ceremony. Others such as Smokey Robinson, Alicia Keys, Brad Paisley, Marc Anthony, Stevie Wonder and the cast of "Glee," are signed up for the other events, including a children's concert next Saturday and the president's two official balls. Obama plans to kick off the weekend's festivities on that Saturday with the National Day of Service, a call for Americans to serve their communities in honor King's legacy. Obama, a former community organizer in Chicago, started the volunteer program four years ago and inaugural organizers say he hopes future presidents will continue it. The Presidential Inaugural Committee is setting up a fair on the National Mall to encourage service that day and beyond and has staff working in all 50 states to coordinate local programs. Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and their families plan to personally participate in projects in Washington Also on Saturday, first lady Michelle Obama and Biden's wife, Jill, are set to host a concert for America's children as they did four years ago. Popular young artists are putting on a show and tickets are being distributed to Washington schoolchildren, among others. The concert will pay special tribute to military families as part of the two women's focus on supporting their service and sacrifice. At noon on Sunday, Jan. 20, the time the Constitution requires the new term to begin, Obama plans to take his official oath in the White House's Blue Room with some media coverage, while Biden plans an official swearing in at the Naval Observatory. The public ceremony is not being held until the next day because inaugurations historically have not been held on Sundays. ___ Online: Presidential Inaugural Committee: Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies:

The following video is part of our nationally syndicated Motley Fool Money radio show, with host Chris Hill talking with advisors Tim Hanson, Ron Gross, and James Early. In this segment the guys analyze Apple's relationship with manufacturers in China. In the wake of recent news reports about the dangerous working conditions at some of the factories in China, the guys discuss how much leverage Apple has, the upcoming audit results, and what investors should be watching for next. As one who has toured factories in China, Tim reminds investors that the relationship between American companies and Chinese manufacturers is not as black and white as some may believe.
One of the keys for companies like Apple is being able to expand into, and eventually dominate, emerging markets. The Motley Fool highlights companies that are doing just that in a brand-new free report, "3 American Companies Set to Dominate the World." You can get instant access to the names of these companies simply by clicking here -- it's free.

The prospect of bookkeeping is enough to strike fear into many people who want to start a small business. Yet with the right system in place, maintaining simple financial records doesn't have to be an ordeal - it simply involves detailing business income and expenditure from the outset and keeping accurate records.
As well as being a legal requirement (you must retain your financial records for six years), staying on top of your bookkeeping will help you to monitor your cashflow.
All you need to run the most basic set of accounts is: a cash book to record money entering and leaving the business; a sales ledger, detailing money received and amounts still owed; a purchase ledger to track outgoings; and a wages book, which details salary payments and National Insurance contributions.
As a small business, you may decide that it is a better use of resources to find a suitably qualified bookkeeper or accountant to keep your records for you - especially if you don't feel confident enough to tackle it yourself. A good bookkeeper or accountant can ensure you keep the right records, stay on top of your finances and free you up to get on with establishing and growing your business. They can also help you avoid potentially expensive mistakes!
If you decide to do the bookkeeping yourself, you will need to: keep your cash purchase receipts and invoices for all business expenditure such as utility bills, bank and credit card statements; fill out paying-in books and cheque book stubs; maintain payroll records (if you employ people); and keep VAT records (if you're registered).
You can keep these 'books' as paper records or computer spreadsheets, but most businesses now prefer to use simple bookkeeping software to keep track of income and expenditure - especially now that many tax returns and all NI and PAYE information has to be submitted electronically to HM Revenue & Customs.
If you decide to run manual accounts, you need sections for purchases paid and purchases unpaid. When you pay an invoice, simply transfer it from unpaid to paid. You'll need to do the same for sales paid and another for sales unpaid.
You should set up a dedicated business bank account. Avoid using your personal account to accept payment or buy things for your business.
Basic accounting software is more affordable than ever (budget £100-£180 inc VAT) and many deals come with free support. You could even set up a few simple pages in popular spreadsheet software, such as Microsoft Excel.
Dedicated accounting packages are easy to use – even for those with limited know-how. Errors can be corrected quickly (which is more complicated when using manual systems), you get a snapshot of your cashflow at the click of a mouse, and it is simple to check what money you owe and are owed. Handy financial reports can also be gained at the touch of a button. You can also view sales patterns and costs, which can help with forecasting and budgeting.
Employing a full-time bookkeeper isn't viable for many small firms. Sometimes such a role is combined with other duties such as office and HR manager. Often a spouse gets drafted in to take care of the books in return for a part-time wage. You might be able to afford a part-time bookkeeper or may consider outsourcing the job to your accountant or to a local bookkeeping service.
The no-cost option, of course, is to do it yourself and maybe get an accountant to take care of the more complicated stuff. Having to 'do your books' after hours or at weekends is an occupational hazard for many small-business owners. It can be the last thing you need after a long, busy day - but it can't be avoided if your business is to survive and prosper.

After issuing the music-oriented efforts Silver Throat: Bill Cosby Sings and Bill Cosby Sings Hooray for the Salvation Army Band! in 1967, comedian Bill Cosby returned to standup on the following year's To Russell, My Brother, Whom I Slept With. Unlike his earlier comedy recordings -- which found Cosby in the comparatively intimate confines of a nightclub or lounge -- here he is captured live in front of an SRO audience at the significantly larger Cleveland Public Auditorium circa early 1968. The monologues build nicely upon characters and subplots already established as legend in the Cosby canon. As such, in "Baseball" he goes into greater detail about his school days as an athlete who had the good sense to "know when to go out of bounds." He takes this point a step further when discussing the "Conflict" that exists when a sports competitor's mind is out of sync with his body. As only Cosby can, he seamlessly segues into tales of his daughters -- who he jokingly refers to as "The Losers" since he wanted sons -- and the various adjustments that fatherhood has made on his life and outlook. Particularly amusing is the reenactment of his kids' ability to be endlessly amused and entertained by the same joke -- especially when repeated ad nauseum. Or the trepidation he feels when teaching them to swim, or sink, as the case may be. The second half of the disc is taken up with the title track, "To Russell, My Brother, Whom I Slept With." During the nearly half-hour tour de force , Cosby revisits incidents from his own childhood and the vast differences that occur from being the sole child and then (at the age of seven) having to deal with siblings. He portrays his younger brother and himself as "two demons that have to live, sleep, and eat together" before describing the assorted brands of mayhem that he and Russell would dish out, and the resulting distinctions between the way his mother and father would discipline them. Anyone who has, knows, or even was a child at one time or another will find much to enjoy and revisit here. The album would be the last of Cosby's classic '60s platters to hit the Top Ten pop survey, where it landed at an impressive number seven in April of 1968. ~ Lindsay Planer, Rovi Read Less

OSB and plywood can both be used for walls, floors and roofs, but there are some differences between them. Here's a rundown of the advantages and disadvantages of each.
By the DIY experts of The Family Handyman Magazine:February 2002
The edges of the 1/2-in. oriented strand board (OSB) that soaked in my bathtub overnight swelled almost 1/4 in. (and stayed swollen), while the plywood remained stable. The lesson? Don't store OSB in a full bathtub. Kept high and dry during storage and after installation, OSB has the same strength and durability as plywood but costs less.
In 2001, oriented strand board surpassed plywood in terms of square footage produced. OSB is now used for about 70 percent of all floor, wall and roof sheathing in North America.
Building codes, the Engineered Wood Association, architects and most builders rate plywood and oriented strand board (OSB) equal in strength and durability. Like-thicknesses of these two products can span the same distances between studs or rafters, weigh about the same and offer similar nail-holding abilities.
OSB has its advantages. Some panels have a textured surface, which makes them less slippery when used for roof sheathing. OSB panels often have lines at 16- and 24-in. intervals so you know where underlying studs, rafters and joists are for nailing. In our area, 1/2-in. OSB costs a few dollars less per sheet than 1/2-in. plywood. And OSB is available in 4 x 9-ft. sheets, which means you can sheathe an 8-ft. tall wall and the joists below with a single sheet.
OSB has one irritating characteristic—but only if you abuse the stuff. The edges tend to swell when they get wet and remain swollen even after drying out. This results in ridges that can "telegraph" through shingles, and even carpet when OSB is used for subfloors. So store your OSB in a dry place, then cover it with tarpaper or siding ASAP to protect it from the elements.

Okay so this is an updated demo of my latest track in progress. I'm taking a short break from trance, trying out some new things and going out of my comfort zone. so I figured I'd do a classical piece for a change.
This track is free and will not be released onto a label, however I have some more (trance) tracks on their way and they will be available on itunes. Btw, this is my first orchestral song I have done so I hope I did a good job :P
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Excelence as per usual
i have been a fan of your work for a while now, and you have yet to let me down
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This strongly reminds me of live action Transformers movie score. Have you ever listened to Steve Jablonsky's work? That stuff's boss. This reminds me of it. :)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
no yoke
this would be a killer intro to ur album. just have it stop abruptly and then have trance pick up. win.

Who needs wild perks to snag loyal workers? Not this Silicon Valley standout
Tom Georgens, NetApp CEO, started at the company in 2005 as Executive Vice President and General Manager of Enterprise Storage Systems before being promoted to Executive Vice President of Product Operations in 2008 and COO in 2009. He has served as CEO since August 19, 2009. Vicki Thompson
- Jon Xavier
- Silicon Valley Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
The UpTake: Tom Georgens doesn't go in for the wild perks of other Silicon Valley companies. But his firm consistently ranks near the top of best places to work lists. The key, he says, is the transparency and accountability with which the company is run.
No sleep pods. No pet masseuse. No corporate headquarters designed by a famous architect.
Compared with some of the Silicon Valley's more visible companies, NetApp Inc., a humble provider of network storage, looks decidedly ho-hum.
It doesn't have a lot of the crazy perks that have become de rigueur at Silicon Valley companies trying to convince job candidates that they're the coolest places in the world to work.
But here's the thing: NetApp's culture regularly trounces Silicon Valley's brand-name companies.
The company is a perennial standout on lists of the world's best places to work. This year, it placed No. 6 on Fortune's Best Places to Work list. On Glassdoor's annual list, it ranked No. 41 — ahead of the dream factory itself, Walt Disney Co., which ranked No. 42.
The Great Place to Work Institute, a nonprofit that researches how organizations can create and foster great workplaces, put NetApp at No. 3 on its list of the 25 best multinational companies to work for this year. Facebook Inc., Apple Inc., and Twitter Inc. didn't even rank.
"It's funny, whenever people find out that we're on all these lists, they always start asking about dog massages and what other crazy perks we have, but we don't really have any of that," said CEO Tom Georgens.
What NetApp has, Georgens said, is an emphasis on accountability and transparency among the executive staff. Georgens himself spends a lot of his time personally meeting with staff in different offices to talk to employees directly about what the company is doing.
That's something that started with the company's founders, David Hitz, James Lau and Michael Malcolm. They had set out to create a company that was not only valuable to investors, but also valued its employees as well.

a fire breather is when the guy punches whoever is sucking their dick in the face, then making them go back to sucking the dick.... while sucking the blood goes into their mouth and when the guy cums it mixes with the blood, when they spit it looks like they're a dragon.
Nell was always rumored by the jocks to be a messy little fire breather.

I need to make multiple divs move from right to left across the screen and stop when it gets to the edge. I have been playing with jQuery lately, and it seem like what I want can be done using that. Does anyone have or know where I can find an example of this?
In jQuery 1.2 and newer you no longer have to position the element absolutely; you can use normal relative positioning and use += or -= to add to or subtract from properties, e.g.
And to echo the guy who answered first's advice: Javascript is not performant. Don't overuse animations, or expect things than run nice and fast on your high performance PC on Chrome to look good on a bog-standard PC running IE. Test it, and make sure it degrades well! |
have a look at this demo - use jquery animation effect for moving a div |
Here i have done complete bins for above query. below is demo link, i think it may help you Demo: http://codebins.com/bin/4ldqp9b HTML:
Just a quick little function I drummed up that moves DIVs from their current spot to a target spot, one pixel step at a time. I tried to comment as best as I could, but the part you're interested in, is in example 1 and example 2, right after [$(function() { // jquery document.ready]. Put your bounds checking code there, and then exit the interval if conditions are met. Requires jQuery. First the Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/pnYWY/ First the DIVs...
example 1) Start
example 2) Delayed Start
Now the Function:
Use jQuery html

President Barack Obama said his White House didn't purposely leak classified information that resulted in recent newspaper articles.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has opened probes related to several recent articles detailing sensitive national security operations, including one last week on a cyber-sabotage program aimed at Iran's nuclear facilities.
Republicans and Democratic lawmakers who oversee intelligence matters have criticized the leaks as damaging. Some Republican lawmakers have alleged the leaks appear designed to boost Mr. Obama's national security standing in the November elections.
"The notion that my White House would purposely release classified national security information is offensive," Mr. Obama said at a briefing with reporters Friday. "It's wrong."
Mr. Obama pointed to the current "thorough" investigations, saying "if we can root out folks who have leaked, they will suffer consequences."
The Justice Department, under the Obama administration, has come under criticism for aggressively pursuing leak probes. At the same time, the administration has cooperated with movie and book projects, providing access to officials to describe decision-making on key events in the president's tenure.
Some lawmakers have suggested they may pursue new legislation to toughen penalties on leaks. However, it's unclear whether such legislation can deal with authorized release of information, which is under the control of president and the executive branch.

Re: Brooks to move to ILB
But who do we have at ILB? Cushing, Dobbins & Sharpton.
This maybe should be another thread, but given that Sharpton stays healthy, are you comfortable with him playing the strongside ILB? Can he do the job?
He's undersized - and he's incredibly slow. 300 pound Earl Mitchell is as fast straight-away as Sharpton ( 4.81 40; 2.74 20 & 1.58 10 ) and his shuttle and 3-cone are not much better than 287 pound Jarid Crick.
I think he's serviceable as a back-up, but IMO he's a liability as a starter. The one thing he has going for himself is that he's been in the system for 3 years.
And this leads into the alternative. Can you imagine a strong side of Branan, Watt and Reed. Despite some inevitable rough edges, with his 4.6 speed, all Branan would need to excel at is protecting the outside and to turn the runner back into Watt and Reed, who also has 4.6 speed. With Watt demanding double team's, our OLB is going to be one-on-one with either the TE or the FB. If our OLB is double teamed, this means Reed would go unblocked.
Watt, Reed & Branan would be outstanding. I'm not so certain it would be as good with Sharpton in at ILB.

The Amalfitani, in fact maintained constant relations with inhabitants from all over the Mediterranean and it was due to these connections that the secrets of navigation were revealed to the rest of the world. The diffusion of the compass, from which the name of our hotel derives, is traditionally attributed to the Amalfitani who were also the first to write the laws of navigation and commerce which were adopted by the other states within the Mediterranean. .

Keith Ballard will get a chance to redeem himself tonight against San Jose, as the Canucks' defenseman will be back in the lineup after sitting out two straight games as a healthy scratch.
Ballard will take the spot of Andrew Alberts, joining Cam Barker — who made his season debut Sunday against Calgary — on the team's third pairing.
For Ballard, it's just the latest bit of adversity he's faced during his time in Vancouver. It was reported yesterday that Ballard's agent would be calling the Canucks about his frustrated client. The 30-year-old is signed through 2014-15 with a cap hit of $4.2 million.
Less than a month ago, Ballard was being lauded by the coaching staff for his improved play. But head coach Alain Vigneault said today that the defenseman hasn't been good enough lately — an assessment Ballard didn't deny.
"I look back at my last couple of games and I didn't play well," Ballard said. "The situation I'm in, the role I'm in, it's up to me to make the best of it. I think before that I was playing real solid, but it's game-to-game and whether or not I like that, it doesn't matter."
In other club news, defenseman Kevin Bieksa is still day-to-day with a groin injury and will miss his fourth game in Vancouver's last five outings.
Cory Schneider will start in goal against the Sharks.
Finally, assistant GM Lorne Henning confirmed to The Province that the Canucks are attempting to secure a spot for top prospect Nicklas Jensen with its AHL affiliate in Chicago.

Ive been hard on Ballard over the years but wow really have to question Alberts and then Barker getting the nod, especially after how Alberts has played. AV so obviously plays to favourites while keeping some perpetually in the dog house.
- loinstache - Mar 5, 2013 at 4:44 PM
"aaarrrooon roooommee where are youuuu"
- davebabychreturns - Mar 5, 2013 at 4:52 PM
This team can't go a year without needing 9 or more defensemen – seriously, look back at the last decade, 9 is the best case scenario and the worst is more like 13 – so at some point they are going to have to figure out what the 7th and 8th guys have to offer.
Alberts has been perennially mediocre here and Barker is a complete unknown at this point, so if the team is going to need to bring someone in at the deadline they'd better determine that soon.
As for Ballard.. the fact is that he's the 6th most important of the team's regular defenders. If he shot right or could comfortably play on that side it would be a different story, but when it comes time for someone to sit he's going to find himself under the microscope.
(Although yeah, sitting him in favour of both Alberts and Barker.. ouch.)

I'm being rude. I'm sorry. It's just that the sheer intensity and earnestness of this video holds me back from taking the Razer Switchblade entirely seriously. Which maybe I should do, as essentially it's a 7″ clamshell PC with special adaptive and touchscreen controls that in theory make playing 'our' games possible on something so minute.
