UNSPECIFIED. (1995) THE ROLE OF PROFESSIONAL-ASSOCIATIONS IN TECHNOLOGY DIFFUSION. ORGANIZATION STUDIES, 16 (5). pp. 847-874. ISSN 0170-8406
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
It is important for firms to be able to adopt technologies that offer them competitive advantage. Before adoption can occur, knowledge about new technologies needs to be diffused so that firms can decide what is relevant to their needs. Professional associations see themselves as key agents in this diffusion of knowledge. Members of professional associations working in industry may act as boundary spanners who, through their involvement in these interorganizational networks, are able to learn about new technological developments. This paper examines the relevance of a professional association for this diffusion process, using the example of a specific technological domain - production and inventory control (PIG). The research investigated a professional PIC association in Canada. A survey of members revealed that this association was perceived to be an important network for learning about new developments in PIG. Predictors of technological innovation in PIC included involvement in the professional development activities of this professional association, as well as firm size and members' communication within their firm. The findings support the idea that professional associations impart knowledge that is important for the diffusion of technology. However, the influence of this professional association was limited by its rather small size and its lack of penetration into small firms. The results from the Canadian association are compared with earlier work conducted with similar associations in Britain and the United States and suggest that there are national differences in the roles of these associations in the knowledge diffusion process.

College Basketball's Best Against The Spread
College Basketball's Best Against The Spread
College Basketball's Best Against The Spread
By Teddy Covers
The Super Bowl is in the rear view mirror after Sunday's wild Baltimore victory, which can only mean one thing – college hoops is on center stage for the next eight weeks. I've been writing game previews for ESPN.com/Insider for the last month, but I've yet to write a true 'college basketball overview' column for any publication so far this season. That streak ends here.
I'm going take a look at the very best pointspread 'regular board' teams in the country in this week's column. The list of ATS juggernauts is likely to surprise many people due to its diversity. Elite level teams aren't necessarily pointspread winners, and bottom feeders can cash ticket after ticket if the betting markets set numbers that allow them to hang within the number as big underdogs. Look no further than the single best ATS team in the nation so far this season.
I'll wager that less than a dozen people in the country knew that Fordham is the #1 ATS team in all of DI basketball this year; 14-5 against the number. The Rams are 6-16 SU, just 2-5 in Atlantic-10 play. This is nothing new or different – the Rams went a combined 17-40 SU in head coach Tom Pecora's first two years on the job. They're a bad offensive team, hitting less than 41% from the floor for the season while missing more than one out of three free throw attempts. They're a mediocre defensive team both inside and outside the arc as well.
But the Rams have three factors working in their favor as an under-the-radar ATS juggernaut. First and foremost, they are truly under-the-radar; favored only twice in their 19 lined games so far this season. Secondly, they are getting solid point guard play from leading scorer and assist man Branden Frazier. And third, they're a solid rebounding team, even without senior forward Chris Gaston in the lineup; consistently winning the battle of the boards.
A team that consistently loses, but loses by small enough margins to cover pointspreads, can retain their ATS value indefinitely, as long as they don't become demoralized from the steady stream of defeats. There's no reason to think that Fordham is going to change their stripes over the next month, still offering legitimate value for their backers down the stretch of the A-10 campaign.
Miami (FL) ranks No. 2 in the pointspread standings at 13-4 ATS. You could make a case for Miami being No. 1, with a better ATS winning percentage than Fordham, but the Rams have more covers so I gave them the nod. Miami is the antithesis of Fordham in many regards. The Hurricanes are really good, still perfect in ACC play with an 8-0 SU mark to open their conference campaign; sitting at 17-3 overall.
Head coach Jim Larranaga – the same guy who coached George Mason into the Final Four a few years back – has the much more traditional recipe for a pointspread juggernaut. The Canes have exceeded pointspread expectations because they are winning SU in every role—at home and on the road, as favorites and as underdogs. This is a great team that's been priced all season as a good team, a classic ATS success situation.
Miami lost their biggest star (and biggest player) when center Reggie Johnson got hurt, and the betting markets gave them too little credit during his month long absence. And a single bad tournament performance in Honolulu over Christmas --smacked by Arizona and knocked off by Indiana State – helped them retain their value as ACC play began.
The betting markets have caught up with the 'Canes – their last two wins (against NC State and Virginia Tech) both finished right around the number. But there's reason to think that Miami can continue to cover pointspreads at a solid percentage down the stretch, particularly in 'step-up-in-class' games against the likes of ACC favorites Duke, North Carolina and NC State, all of whom get much more national exposure than the long-dormant Miami program.
Like Fordham, San Francisco isn't on anyone's radar. The Dons don't play on TV. They play in a conference where teams like Gonzaga, St Mary's, Santa Clara and BYU are, and have been, the class of the WCC. They regularly play to home crowds that barely number 1000 at War Memorial Gymnasium. It's not exactly a dominant home court – the Dons have lost five of their last seven there in SU fashion, including losses to the likes of Holy Cross and San Diego.
But Rex Walters' squad is 13-5 ATS for the full season, including a 10-2 pointspread mark in their last dozen lined games. They are an efficient offensive team, and a great three point shooting team, connecting on nearly 40% of their tries from downtown. Each of their top six scorers has at least 21 made three pointers this year, and big man Cole Dickerson is a low post difference maker.
But it's surely worth noting that six of the Dons 13 pointspread covers have come by a bucket or less, just squeaking in under the number. That means San Francisco has been as lucky as they've been good, which indicates they're no surefire candidate to close out the season on the red hot pointspread run they've been on for the last six weeks.
Florida was a dominant team last year, winning 26 games before losing a hard fought battle against Louisville in the Elite Eight round of the Big Dance. Yet the betting markets didn't respect the Gators enough coming into the 2012-13 campaign, as they annihilated some pretty good teams including Wisconsin, Marquette, Middle Tennessee State and Florida State over the first month of the season. After a modest ATS cooldown, the Gators got back on the winning pointspread track with seven consecutive wins and covers to open SEC play.
Florida is a great team, and people knew that they'd be very good coming into the year. So how have they managed to cover pointspreads at a Top 5 clip? Two ways. First, this is a VERY down year for the SEC. The Gators have been double digit favorites in every single conference game thusfar, and they've still been dominating ATS. And secondly, the Gators are positively stifling their foes on the defensive end of the court, routinely holding teams in the 40's or 50's. They are one of the Top 5 teams in the country in defensive field goal percentage allowed, giving up an average of less than 18 made baskets per game. Throw in a +8 rebounding margin and voila – even elite teams that everybody expected to be elite can still cover pointspreads in bunches.
A quick glance at some other ATS juggernauts among the 'regular board' DI teams shows that Florida is the exception, not the rule. The only other nationally ranked Top 10 pointspread team is Creighton; a squad that leads the nation in shooting percentage, connecting at a 52% clip from the floor. Doug McDermott's exceptional long range shooting opens up the low post for high percentage looks from Gregory Echenique and point guard Grant Gibbs is truly a top notch distributor.
Most of the other top ATS teams are weak or middling teams like Troy. The Trojans are 10-13 SU, in last place in the Sun Belt East. But a team with a constantly adjusting rotation – ten different players have started at least two games this year – and a limited talent base hasn't attracted much marketplace support in a conference primarily bet by wiseguys. So Troy's propensity for tight games – 16 of which have been decided by seven points or less including four in OT – has allowed them to hang within many inflated numbers.
Air Force, Wake Forest, Indiana State, Villanova and Utah are other teams that have cashed at a 65% clip or better through the first three months of the season. Don't expect a Big Dance bid from any of those middling squads without a significant winning SU hot streak between now and selection Sunday. And should any of those squads suddenly rip off five or six consecutive victories, the markets aren't likely to sleep on them for very long – from a pointspread perspective, that entire grouping is better off with a series of tight losses than a series of tight wins.

The Problem With... Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera's "Moves Like Jagger"
I gotta tell you something, readers. I haven't really followed The Voice, NBC's singing competition show.
It was never a conscious decision. I just haven't really followed reality shows since the first couple seasons of Survivor. I guess, as a writer, I want to support my peers who work on scripted shows.
Anyway, recent news changed my view on The Voice from indifference to a slight grudge. Last week, a tweet on Rihanna's account announced that Cee Lo Green dropped out of opening her "Loud" tour, which, by the way, is stopping by American Airlines Center tomorrow night. The tweet cited Cee Lo's commitment to The Voice as the reason for his departure, so it's probably the show's fault Dallas won't see him live. But I digress.
As a tie-in to the show, judges Christina Aguilera and Adam Levine (and Levine's band Maroon 5) and performed together their new single, "Moves Like Jagger," a few weeks ago.
The studio version of the track sounds sorta like that European disco-house stuff the duo Daft Punk ushered into popular music. It sounds good, actually. And if it had the disco slap-bass, it would sound a lot better.
As good as it sounds, though, this track trips on the cord a few times.
For instance, the chorus details the art of seduction in a weird order. Aren't you supposed to move like Jagger on the floor to charm your target and then kiss till you're drunk?
Worse, the great Xtina just gets just one verse in this track. Someone probably thought to give her fewer lines so she wouldn't mess them up like she did at the Super Bowl. Thing is, if Hook on Phonics taught us anything, it's that Xtina's only ever gonna improve if she gets more lines to hone her memory.
The last problem here? The titular reference to Mick Jagger. It didn't work when Ke$ha tried that in "TiK ToK." It doesn't work in this track either. Cultural references really only work in hip-hop, prime-time cartoons, and blogs.
Oh, and it doesn't help that this whole thing reeks of reality show promotion.
So, as it stands, "Moves Like Jagger" is getting voted off the island.

Lorcet Side Effects Center
Medical Editor: John P. Cunha, DO, FACOEP
Lorcet is an opioid analgesic indicated for the relief of moderate to severe pain. Nausea, vomiting, constipation, lightheadedness, dizziness, or drowsiness may occur. Serious side effects can include mental/mood changes, severe stomach/abdominal pain, and difficulty urinating. Rare, but serious side effects can include fainting, seizure, slow/shallow breathing, unusual drowsiness/difficulty waking up. There is a risk of addiction to Lorcet.
Dosage of Lorcet should be adjusted according to the severity of the pain and the response of the patient. Tolerance to hydrocodone can develop with continued use and that the incidence of untoward effects is dose related. The usual adult dosage is one tablet every four to six hours as needed for pain. The total daily dosage should not exceed 6 tablets. Many other medications may interact with Lorcet, especially other drugs that cause drowsiness (other narcotics, benzodiazapines, sleep medications, or cold and allergy medications). Tell your doctor all medications you use. Before using Lorcet, women of childbearing age should talk with their doctor(s) about the risks and benefits. Women should tell their doctors if they pregnant or plan to become pregnant. During pregnancy, this medication should be used only when clearly needed.

Gastrointestinal System
Prolonged administration of Lorcet® 10/650 may produce constipation.
Genitourinary System
Ureteral spasm, spasm of vesical sphincters and urinary retention have been reported with opiates.
Respiratory Depression
Hydrocodone bitartrate may produce dose-related respiratory depression by acting directly on the brain stem respiratory centers. (see OVERDOSAGE).
Special Senses
Cases of hearing impairment or permanent loss have been reported predominantly in patients with chronic overdose.
Dermatological: Skin rash, pruritus.
The following adverse drug events may be borne in mind as potential effects of acetaminophen: allergic reactions, rash, thrombocytopenia, agranulocytosis. Potential effects of high dosage are listed in the OVERDOSAGE section.
Drug Abuse And Dependence
Misuse, Abuse, and Diversion of Opioids
Lorcet® 10/650 tablets contain hydrocodone, an opioid agonist, and are a Schedule III controlled substance. Lorcet® 10/650, and other opioids used in analgesia can be abused and are subject to criminal diversion.
Addiction is a primary, chronic, neurobiologic disease, with genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors influencing its development and manifestations. It is characterized by behaviors that include one or more of the following: impaired control over drug use, compulsive use, continued use despite harm, and craving. Drug addiction is a treatable disease utilizing a multidisciplinary approach, but relapse is common.
"Drug seeking" behavior is very common in addicts and drug abusers. Drug-seeking tactics include emergency calls or visits near the end of office hours, refusal to undergo appropriate examination, testing or referral, repeated "loss" of prescriptions, tampering with prescriptions and reluctance to provide prior medical records or contact information for other treating physician (s). "Doctor shopping" to obtain additional prescriptions is common among drug abusers and people suffering from untreated addiction.
Abuse and addiction are separate and distinct from physical dependence and tolerance. Physical dependence usually assumes clinically significant dimensions only after several weeks of continued opioid use, although a mild degree of physical dependence may develop after a few days of opioid therapy. Tolerance, in which increasingly large doses are required in order to produce the same degree of analgesia, is manifested initially by a shortened duration of analgesic effect, and subsequently by decreases in the intensity of analgesia. The rate of development of tolerance varies among patients. Physicians should be aware that abuse of opioids can occur in the absence of true addiction and is characterized by misuse for non-medical purposes, often in combination with other psychoactive substances. Lorcet® 10/650, like other opioids, may be diverted for non-medical use. Record-keeping of prescribing information, including quantity, frequency, and renewal requests is strongly advised.
Proper assessment of the patient, proper prescribing practices, periodic reevaluation of therapy, and proper dispensing and storage are appropriate measures that help to limit abuse of opioid drugs.

The iPhone 5s is an evolution of the iPhone 5, and isn't necessarily a must-have. It ushers in new technologies that will soon be standard on all of Apple's devices. While most consumers will be happy with the 5c, the 5s is better-suited for gamers and power users.
Read the full review →Heads up! A newer version of this product is out!
A strong pick, but its true worth is yet to be determined
The iPhone 5s is an evolution of the iPhone 5, and isn't necessarily a must-have. It ushers in new technologies that will soon be standard on all of Apple's devices. While most consumers will be happy with the 5c, the 5s is better-suited for gamers and power users.
90-Day Price History
Critic reviews
sort by
With the iPhone 5s, Apple once again wins the right to claim the title of best smartphone available ... the device that grows more appealing as the software ecosystem catches up ... great news for buyers looking for something that isn't so easily replaced by the next big thing that comes along.
Read the full review →If you're deep in the Apple ecosystem, the 5S could be the first step toward some new directions. Its improved speed, graphics, and elements of battery efficiency make it a better phone than the iPhone 5, in case you've waited to upgrade.
Read the full review →If you are an iPhone fan with any model older than the iPhone 5, the new 5S will be a big step up. If you own an iPhone 5, there's less of a case for upgrading, unless you want the fingerprint reader and improved camera.
Read the full review →Apple still believes in superb design and tremendous polish. The iPhone is no longer the only smartphone that will keep you delighted for the length of your two-year contract — but it's still among the few that will.
Read the full review →The iPhone 5s may be small, but it's packed with more power than any other smartphone on the market today. It's the best bet for anyone who wants a future-proof, forward-looking phone that runs an unbeatable array of apps.
Read the full review →The iPhone 5s may look a lot like its predecessor. But with a faster new processor, a fingerprint sensor, and an improved camera flash, it's a serious upgrade.
Read the full review →At the end of the day, if you prefer iOS for your smartphone - the iPhone 5s won't disappoint. In many ways it's an evolutionary improvement over the iPhone 5, but in others it is a significant step forward.
Read the full review →Long story short, if you currently own an iPhone that is not an iPhone 5, this is the one you should get, if only because the 5S will guarantee you the best software experience for the longest amount of time.
Read the full review →The iPhone 5s boasts a fantastic camera and an array of cutting edge technologies that make this compact smartphone a force to be reckoned with.
Read the full review →Like its predecessor, the iPhone 5s is one of the best handsets you can buy. But more importantly (and unlike much of its competition), the handset is laying the groundwork for the smartphones of tomorrow.
Read the full review →What Apple has created here is a phone that is as exciting as it is dull. Apple has made it look effortless which is no simple task, but in doing so, by making it look too easy, you can sometime miss the beauty and power in your hand.
Read the full review →I had a lot of fun unlocking the phone over and over again. Who knew biometric authentication could be such a blast? The fingerprint sensor alone is worth the extra $100 you'll pay for the 5S over an iPhone 5C.
Read the full review →If you can afford the additional $100 and can do with silver, gold or gray, get the 5S instead. The fingerprint sensor will make security less annoying, and the better camera will be more useful in documenting life.
Read the full review →The magic of the iPhone 5s is in how usable its improvements are. The updated camera is both fast and capable, with the True Tone flash proving itself to be no gimmick, while the Touch ID system feels like the first biometrics system that actually stands a chance of succeeding in the mass market.
Read the full review →Let's get this out of the way: this is the best iPhone Apple has ever built. It takes a winning formula and makes it better, faster, more future-proof.
Read the full review →The iPhone 5s is a meaningful advance on the iPhone 5, and comfortably ahead of any phone that doesn't have a picture of a piece of fruit on its backside.
Read the full review →The iPhone 5S doesn't really offer enough to justify upgrading from the iPhone 5. If you're on older iPhones though -- or you're looking to take your first steps into Apple's world -- its astonishing power, excellent camera and fingerprint scanner make it a great option to consider.
Read the full review →It's not only Apple's flagship iPhone but it's also the best phone the company has ever made. The camera is extraordinary. Touch ID is revolutionary. The iPhone 5s is a stunner today, but expect the real fun to come tomorrow.
Read the full review →The iPhone 5 is still a very good smartphone in today's market. It may not have a fingerprint sensor or a power-packed 64-bit processor like the 5s, but it still has a decent built-in camera and is powerful enough to run all the apps in the App Store without even flinching.
Read the full review →The 5s is, overall, a beautiful piece of engineering, lovely to look at and lovely to hold. Is it a brilliant phone to use? Unequivocally. But the accusation is that Apple has lost its magic, and that it is no longer reinventing categories. And indeed it isn't, because it doesn't need to.
Read the full review →The 5S is another engineering triumph for Apple (and no slacker in the fashion/branding game either).
Read the full review →Simply put, however, for those who want the ultimate iPhone — and just maybe the ultimate smartphone — the iPhone 5S is definitely full of Apple's best, and it's the clear first option.
Read the full review →... the combination of iOS 7 to freshen things up with a powerful core and great camera mean that this phone should be considered on its own considerable merits, and while the high price will continue to put many off ... will find a lot of joy in a phone that's a lot more than an iterative update.
Read the full review →The iPhone 5S may look like an iPhone 5, but it's better in all the right ways. If you are very comfortable with a bigger screen you might want to look elsewhere, but the iPhone 5S is a consummate performer that puts very few steps wrong.
Read the full review →The differences may not be enough to sway owners of last year's model, but regardless of whether you're upgrading or buying an iPhone for the first time, the iPhone 5S is unquestionably better in every way, and still one of the best phones on the market.
Read the full review →From the much-improved low-light camera, the beefed up security that TouchID brings and the blistering hardware speed that comes from the A7-driven, 64-bit revolution the iPhone has guts that represent much more than just an off-cycle device refresh.
Read the full review →Anyone with an iPhone 4 or 4S should upgrade right away. If you're using an iPhone 5, there's less reason to run to the Apple store since many of the features are baked into iOS 7. The Apple iPhone 5s is an excellent device, as long as you're OK with the limitations of Apple's hardware and software.
Read the full review →A staggeringly fast processor, excellent build quality and a great operating system, what's not to like?
Read the full review →The iPhone 5s is a brilliant phone with some great new features that help you in work and play. The fingerprint sensor, camera, and improved speed and architecture, make the 5s my favorite iPhone to date.
Read the full review →The latest iPhone (the 5s, in this case) is indeed the best iPhone yet. While it looks the same on the outside, Apple's internal upgrades have delivered a phone that's blisteringly fast and a pleasure to use.
Read the full review →The Apple haters are wrong about the iPhone 5s: this is one hell of a phone. It's far more of an upgrade than it first seems, both as a result of its upgraded, forward-thinking hardware and its excellent new OS.
Read the full review →Taken in totality, the features new to the iPhone 5s make what I consider to be the best smartphone on the market even better, helped enormously by Apple owning the entire end-to-end experience. In my view, iOS is still simpler to use than Android, and made even simpler in iOS 7.
Read the full review →The iPhone 5S is a worthy upgrade to anyone entrenched in the world of Apple, and once Apple addresses its annoying limitations, it might convince a few more people to enter that world.
Read the full review →First Looks
As you may have already heard, the 5s is rather similar in overall hardware to the iPhone 5, though there are a few changes in key places.
Read the full preview →We're out at Apple's event and got hands-on time with the new model. In the hand it feels identical to the existing iPhone; the design, screen, weight, thickness and materials remain almost entirely unchanged.
Read the full preview →It's not very surprising that Apple has delivered a new iPhone that seems at first glance to be among the best smartphones in the business, if not definitely the new overall king. But what is surprising is that something like a built-in fingerprint scanner can make such a difference.
Read the full preview →Brian just went hands on with Apple's new iPhone 5S, showing off its performance (courtesy of the new 64-bit A7 SoC), Touch ID fingerprint sensor and camera features. Check it all out in the video.
Read the full preview →It looks like Apple's using this year to refine peripheral technology around the iPhone rather than heading in a bold new direction ... but if Touch ID makes the iPhone 5S more secure, it'll be no small feature.
Read the full preview →With the phone locked, it literally took just a touch to unlock and jump to the home screen. Unlike my previous frustrating experiences, the fingerprint lock should make it faster and easier to get into your home screen while keeping it secure from others.
Read the full preview →To some extent, the 5S is the easier of Apple's two new phones to get right. After all, Apple isn't doing badly at all with high-end phone buyers and folks in countries like the U.S. where subsidies hide the true cost of smartphones.
Read the full preview →The phone was running iOS 7, and performance seemed good even though zooming around the UI is about the least taxing thing you can do on an iPhone.
Read the full preview →Setting up the fingerprint sensor was easy; tap your finger on the sensor a number of times until it registers the various details of your fingerprint. ... After, opening the phone by holding our finger on the sensor took less than a second; it's certainly faster than entering a four-digit code.
Read the full preview →I trained it to recognize my finger, then used it to unlock the phone a couple of times. It worked perfectly, which is a welcome advance. And the placement on the Home button is ingenious.
Read the full preview →In using the iPhone 5s briefly, we found it speedy and snappy, and iOS 7 looks great. We weren't able to run any benchmark tests or particularly hungry apps, so there was no way to put to the test Apple's claims of it being twice as fast as the iPhone 5 in many tasks.
Read the full preview →It's early days – both the biometrics and the camera features will take real-world use to properly assess – but it already feels like a solid upgrade over the iPhone 5.
Read the full preview →Starting with the processor, it's faster, much faster, and while we found that made very little difference in swiping between menus it does instantly make a difference in games...
Read the full preview →The iPhone 5S is the first 64-bit smartphone. It comes with an all-new A7 chip with 64-bit architecture. It also has what Apple calls an M7 motion coprocessor, which should mean a lot more apps that use motion-tracking, such as fitness apps.
Read the full preview →The Apple iPhone 5S clearly has some real power (a new A7 chip) and startling innovation: a fingerprint ID and home button all in one. No doubt there will be many more secrets to reveal when we get a chance to properly review the new smartphone.
Read the full preview →The fingerprint sensor, called Touch ID, is a thin circle around the device's existing home button, and removes the need to enter a pin code to activate the device, but Apple did not claim it would replace the need for more advanced security features.
Read the full preview →From our early play with the iPhone 5s, we expect that the improvements in performance and features will attract the early-adopting Apple faithful as well as those finally looking to upgrade from an iPhone 4S. The refreshed iOS 7 might even tempt some Android and Windows Mobile users.
Read the full preview →The biometric features, graphics rendering for games, and new camera will have to be the big selling features for current iPhone users, but we doubt this will be enough to woo current Android/Windows users over to the dark side.
Read the full preview →O'Brien also makes note of the new A7 processor inside the iPhone 5S, which allowed him to jump from app to app in quick fashion.
Read the full preview →We would like a touch more heft with the metallic chassis, as it almost feels too light the first time you hold it, but with more colours, more power and a spec list that feels like it's got the right mix of performance and precision, we can see the iPhone 5S being the top-selling device.
Read the full preview →It's tricky to gauge whether Apple has done enough with the iPhone 5S to silence those that criticise it for lacking innovation. The fingerprint scanner is certainly a USP and the design is still great, but it may not be enough to stop the hordes jumping on the Android bandwagon.
Read the full preview →It worked seamlessly when I tested it, though adding new profiles takes a bit of time. But it's a much faster way to open the phone than entering a pass code, and there is no "reading your print now" type of delay on screen.
Read the full preview →Saving your fingerprint and unlocking the phone are easy to do, and it seems to work well.
Read the full preview →Like previous entries in Apple's "S" series of iPhones, the iPhone 5S offers upgraded components and exclusive software features in a form factor otherwise near identical to last year's model. The big changes are obviously the new and improved camera, 64-bit A7 processor, and fingerprint scanner.
Read the full preview →While not evident on the outside (or even in spec listings, where the camera element is "still" rated as 8 megapixels), the camera sensor itself is also enhanced, using a 15 percent larger sensor with larger 1.5 micron pixels.
Read the full preview →Unlocking the iPhone 5S was very slick—just rest your finger on the Home button and the phone unlocks immediately. You don't have to press or move your finger around waiting for it to be recognized—it just worked.
Read the full preview →Coming over from Android I had a lot of concerns about if I could transition properly and learn to accept the differences, and I have had no issues. I do have an iPad so that helped a bit, but I do use my phone and tablet in different manners. That said, if you're looking to make the switch...
Read the full review →Of all the improvements Apple made with this upgrade, the one I find most notable is the fact that they addressed the chipping issue suffered by any iPhone 5. I've taken my phone in an out of its case on purpose and have yet to see any kind of chipping on the finish. The camera is a noticeable...
Read the full review →after 6 years, it's still the iPhone you recognize but further refined and nearing perfection. they took the iPhone 5 design and further refined it, resulting in a more consistent and repeatable hardware experience with very few finding defects in materials and finish unlike the iPhone 5 release...
Read the full review →This is the most beautiful and perfect iPhone yet. The new A7 processor makes it very quick especially in iOS 7 and the gem of this iPhone is that touch ID. The touch ID adds a new level of security and it works perfectly. I want touch ID on all my Apple devices.
Read the full review →This is a pretty cool phone, it was as many noted, an incremental update to the iPhone 5, and I liked how it felt and looked in Gold. I also liked the camera, it felt fast and nimble. But, I returned it! And not for the reasons you think. The week I received the new 5s, I called Apple to get...
Read the full review →Hardly feels like a new phone in hand, especially if you had experienced iOS7 in your old iPhone5.
Read the full review →Reviewing the "S" model of an iPhone is always difficult, just because it's almost always internal changes. Yes, it's very quick, the camera is better in low-light, and Touch ID is crazy cool. But, on the outside, the thing that usually sets a phone apart, it's the same as the 5. So I'm just...
Read the full review →The golden standard in smartphones (again) Coming from a 4S I can only say: my mind is blown. Before the 4S I had a 4. Upgrading in between the same design form factor is not all that good of an upgrade. But if you want the latest and greatest, that's the game to play. I've had almost every...
Read the full review →I have been an Apple fanatic for some time, so upgrading to the 5S from the 5 was really more out of a need to enjoy the best, not because the 5 was a poor phone. First, the 5/5S screen is simply too small and I constantly envy people with an S4 or HTC One. It is apparent Apple missed this one...
Read the full review →The hardest part of reviewing this phone is that every one know what an iPhone is and the only thing you can really compare it to is its predecessor. Yes, people will complain about it not being as good or as fast or as open an Android phone but in the its not an Android phone it's an iPhone and...
Read the full review →This is a must have upgrade for anyone due for an upgrade (i.e. 4S users or older). Even users of the 5 who use the phone a lot and take many pictures will see the benefit of the newer processor, the fingerprint sensor, and the improved camera hardware/app.
Read the full review →Every tick has its tock. Every leap forward in design, a follow up in performance, and optics, and special features. Every new iPhone, its S-class successor. That was the story of the iPhone 3GS in 2009 with its speed doubling, video recording, and voice control. Of the iPhone 4S in 2011, with...
Read the full review →Introduction: I've been using the iPhone 5s for 3 weeks now and I don't want to go too over board in this review because I'm sure enough people here and elsewhere already have but I just wanted to share my thoughts. I have bought 6 of the past 7 iPhones since the original and I can...
Read the full review →Overall it's a fantastic phone. It does everything I want, and very quickly. It is sleek and has a beautiful design. Camera is great, and TouchID is a nice new feature. Overall, I am happy to come back to iOS and iPhone after Android.

Math concepts: subtraction within 100, number patterns, mental math
Number of players: 2 or 3
Equipment: printed hundred chart (also called a hundred board), and highlighter or translucent disks to mark numbers — or use this online hundred chart
Set Up
Place the hundred chart and highlighter where all players can reach them.
How to Play
- Allow the youngest player choice of moving first or second; in future games, allow the loser of the last game to choose.
- The first player chooses a number from 1 to 100 and marks that square on the hundred chart.
- The second player chooses and marks any other number.
- On each succeeding turn, the player subtracts any two marked numbers to find and mark a difference that has not yet been taken.
- Play alternates until no more numbers can be marked.
The player who marks the last number wins the game.
For Advanced Students
When you play Euclid's game on paper, circle the original pair of numbers. Collect several finished game boards. Compare the pattern of the numbers marked on each game.
- Can you explain why some games have few numbers marked and others have many?
- If you knew the first two numbers, would you be able to predict how many squares would be marked in the end?
For a hint, check out this page at Amby's Math:
I first discovered Euclid's game at Alexander Bogomolny's outstanding website, Cut the Knot. You can play a Java version online here:
Now you can play the 100-chart version online. too:

Its killing me!!!
Its killing me!!!
word bro me too, im waiting for draft night too, we could walk out of it a better team donnie has to pull off a move draft night, we'll see what happens........July 1st is next week!!
Yea Draft Night is another day im REALLY looking foward to. Can't wait to see what Donnie has in store for us.
yea i've been hearing a lot about Paker joining us, and im sure Walsh knows he needs to bolster our roster to set us up for July1st so i feel we gotta pull something off, and i hope we walk away with Stephenson and Alabi in the draft
and make a trade for parker or Collinson/Okafor draft night
Not sure how the Knicks will get Parker.Teams never help the Knicks out by trading quality players to them.It' usually the Knicks that help other teams out.
It's killing me too dude. Draft night is so massive for us and if we don't come through I could have a rectal prolapse.
I'm very excited for draft night since I have been following every 1st rond to mid 2nd round pick recently.
I hope Donnie buys a pick and makes it worth watching for Knick fans but I'm excited anyways.
I hope to see Grevis Vazquez or Lance Stephenson drop down to the 38 and 39 picks.
BUT I feel as excited about free agency as I do when Christmas roles through, my family goes all out with the presents and celebration.

Self-reliance and sustainability in the 21st century.
By Jennifer Nyberg
Tags: urban farming, sustainability, local food, farm gate, market produce, beginner, Jennifer Nyberg
It could happen to you: one afternoon you're sitting on your back step with a cup of tea, perusing the tangle of overgrown weeds and neglected fruit trees on your rented backyard acreage and ruefully contemplating just how long it's going to take to mow that much grass. Why couldn't you have leased one of those row houses across the street? Then the yard would be a postage stamp, no need to mow at all. A snip of two with the kitchen scissors would probably be enough. And then it comes to you, in a sudden thought. You almost snort your tea as you realize: you don't have to mow it. You could turn that grass into a market produce instead. It would cut down dramatically on the mowing, after all. You'd just need a few raised boxes, perhaps, say…forty. Yes, forty boxes at five feet by ten feet. That should suffice if you want to grow some produce over the terrible heavy clay around here. So you'd need to fill them with soil, of course. And compost. And blend it all up and add some organic nutrients, like kelp. (Can you buy kelp around here? You think you can.) And manure. And you'd need to seed everything with climate-selected heritage varieties and incorporate appropriately scheduled rotation crops for maximum production and have a portable greenhouse or two, cobbled together from old Costco shelter frames and fitted with heat-activated windows--what could be easier than that?? And you could have chickens…
It happened to me that way, anyway. It was such a warm day, and the plum tree was buzzing with wild bees so hypnotically that the idea of noisy, sweaty grass-cutting labour simply drifted away from my mind. Instead, after that initial bolting upright when the idea of farming struck, I just leaned back into my vision and dreamed, eyeing just how much land was available to me, realizing perhaps for the first time in 8 years of living on a three-acre waste of scrub trees and blackberries, just what the possibilities were. To my dismay, developers had been encroaching for months on all sides: gas stations, supermarkets, fast-food joints and townhouses were my new neighbours. Here, at last, could be my effort to halt them in their tracks: a local, sustainable farm plunked smack in the middle of a suburban sea. I could grow vegetables. Produce eggs and honey. Raise sheep and goats, and maybe even—dream of dreams—use small scale horse drawn equipment as on the small family farms of old.
Thus began the idea for Horse Drawn Farms.

Speaking at NFJS Northern Virginia Software Symposium November 6-8, 2009
This weekend, I will be speaking at the No Fluff Just Stuff Northern Virginia Software Symposium in Reston, VA. The symposium, as always, has some truly brilliant speakers from the world of Java, dynamic languages and agile software development. I have 3 sessions; all on Sunday. All my topics relate to Flex and Java integration. On Sunday morning at 9.00am I start off with a general and broad based topic: "Flex and Java Integration". Later that afternoon, I explore the world of "Flex and Hibernate" and the promising domain of "Collaborative real-time RIA". The session on "Collaborative real-time RIA" extends beyond Flex and Java integration and includes the larger context of collaborative applications and real-time systems.
If you are already at the symposium, please stop by at the sessions. If you are interested in these topics and are in the area, consider attending them. If you are nowhere close by and are interested in the topics, then do let me know, and I could perhaps plan a session in that geography, if there are enough interested.
Also, not to forget, a lot of what I speak about in these sessions, is covered in my book Professional BlazeDS (Wiley/Wrox, 2009).

Product description
How old is prejudice against black people? Were the racist attitudes that fueled the Atlantic slave trade firmly in place 700 years before the European discovery of sub-Saharan Africa? In this groundbreaking book, David Goldenberg seeks to discover how dark-skinned peoples, especially black Africans, were portrayed in the Bible and by those who interpreted the Bible--Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Unprecedented in rigor and breadth, his investigation covers a 1,500-year period, from ancient Israel (around 800 B.C.E.) to the eighth century C.E., after the birth of Islam. By tracing the development of anti-Black sentiment during this time, Goldenberg uncovers views about race, color, and slavery that took shape over the centuries--most centrally, the belief that the biblical Ham and his descendants, the black Africans, had been cursed by God with eternal slavery. Goldenberg begins by examining a host of references to black Africans in biblical and postbiblical Jewish literature. From there he moves the inquiry from Black as an ethnic group to black as color, and early Jewish attitudes toward dark skin color. He goes on to ask when the black African first became identified as slave in the Near East, and, in a powerful culmination, discusses the resounding influence of this identification on Jewish, Christian, and Islamic thinking, noting each tradition's exegetical treatment of pertinent biblical passages. Authoritative, fluidly written, and situated at a richly illuminating nexus of images, attitudes, and history, The Curse of Ham is sure to have a profound and lasting impact on the perennial debate over the roots of racism and slavery, and on the study of early Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Review quote
Winner of the 2005 Meritorious Publication Award, University of Cape Town "[A] sweeping and ambitious work... [T]he research is meticulous and important."--Publishers Weekly "Goldenberg's study is clearly a work of mature scholarship on an important theme... He writes in an accessible style and makes complex matters intelligible to nonspecialists. In fact, I often became so engrossed in his argument that I thought I was reading a detective story."--Daniel J Harrington, America "Goldenberg has produced what may well become the definitive study of race and slavery in the Old Testament texts... In a work particularly valuable for its comprehensiveness and philology, Goldenberg's research is monumental; the writing is clear as a bell; the arguments are not only cogent, but honest... In short, this is a wonderful book and I hope that it finds many readers."--Molly Myerowitz Levine, Bryn Mawr Classical Review "For so massively erudite a work this book is remarkably accessible. Goldenberg is sufficiently persuaded of the importance of the case he is making- that the Bible does not measure people's worth by the color of their skin--not to encumber the main body of his book with the kind of extended academic argument in whose thickets most readers would soon be lost... [He has a] conviction that a scholarly work, if it has something important to say, should not be just for scholars."--John Pridmore, Church Times "An outstanding and comprehensive study."--Choice "[A] masterly book... With scrupulously meticulous and erudite scholarship, Goldenberg examines a plethora of source material and is a competent and assured guide through this labyrinth."--Desmond Tutu, Times Higher Education Supplement "The Curse of Ham will clearly have a significant impact on the perennial debate over the roots of racism and slavery and on the study of early Judaism, Christianity and Islam. My view is that this volume ought to be required reading for all Black scholars. Biblical exegetes, theologians and clergy will all find this a valuable resource."--Michael N. Jagessar,Black Theology "[This] book is the result of thirteen years of steady research and presents what is often highly technical scholarship and linguistic analysis in a readable, cogent manner...The Curse of Ham represents an important step towards increasing the ability of those who view the Bible as scripture to avoid continuing this error."--Stirling Adams, BYU Studies "Goldenberg has delved into the murky story which forms the focus of Genesis, Chapter 9: Noah's emergence from the flood, his drunken stupor, and his subsequent embarrassment at his son Ham's viewing of his nakedness. This is not only a meticulously documented work but an extraordinarily well-written inquiry...His purpose is to ascertain how this verse was transformed from a curse directed at Ham's son to a blanket condemnation of an entire race."--Arnold Ages, Chicago Jewish Star
Back cover copy
"A truly stunning work and a masterpiece of its kind. David Goldenberg goes far beyond anyone else in offering the most comprehensive, convincing, and important analysis I've read on interpretations of the famous Curse and, generally, of blackness and slavery. His research is breathtaking. It yields almost definitive answers to many longstanding debates over early attitudes toward dark skin."--David Brion Davis, Yale University, author of In the "Image of God: Religion, Moral Values, and Our Heritage of Slavery""A great book on a great topic. It is great both for what it does and what it does not do. What it does is to survey, consider, annotate, and analyze every Jewish text that refers to, or can be thought to refer to, black/dark skin or Black Africans. And yet it does not engage in polemics or apologetics."--Shaye J. D. Cohen, Harvard University, author of "The Beginnings of Jewishness"

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in adults evaluated in echocardiography and multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT). | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 16146009 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
The authors presented three cases of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) diagnosed in adulthood as an solated defect in patients without clinical signs using echocardiography and MSCT. The paper discusses extensively the techniques of both examinations, the use of various reconstructive algorithms in MSCT and possible visualization of the arterial duct as well as concomitant changes in the vessels and heart. SCT, although not used in PDA diagnosis to date, was found to be a valuable non-invasive diagnostic method of detecting this defect in patients in whom echocardiography failed or in examinations conducted due to non-cardiological clinical indications. |

Wright, Terence (1992) Television Narrative and Ethnographic Film. In: Film as Ethnography. (Eds: Crawford, Peter Ian and Turton , David), Manchester University Press, pp. 274-282. ISBN 0-719-03683-6 [Book section]
Full text not available from this repository.
The extension of anthropology through public broadcast systems has defined new areas of enquiry. At one extreme, television has made available visual recordings of the world's disappearing cultures; at the other, it has both generated awareness and motivated responses to global ethnic and ecological issues. But having granted these points, it has also had the effect of limiting the discipline. The broadcasters'' understanding of 'good television' usually requires the moulding of ethnographic footage into familiar story-lines. The inevitable product of this demand is a very particular narrative style. An authoritative Western voice establishes the location of the film, introduces the cultural Group and guides the viewer through some of their typical day-to-day routines. While this general organisational pattern is not dissimilar to the standard written ethnography, the televised ethnography differs in that there is little room for analysis, but a high dependence on 'self-evident' visual description. Indeed the 'classic realist' ethnographic narrative often appears to be used as an excuse for screening a succession of 'interesting' or 'spectacular' images.
