Global Technology Leader to Visit Kent State to Discuss Liquid Crystal ResearchPosted May, 19, 2011
Samsung Electronics Corporation is a leader in the global market of high-tech electronics manufacturing and digital media, and the largest producer of liquid crystal displays in the world. On Friday, May 20, Dr. Sung Tae Shin, senior vice president of Samsung's LCD Center in South Korea, will visit Kent State University on to discuss the university's groundbreaking research involving new applications for liquid crystal display technologies.
Shin, who received his Ph.D. from Kent State in 1994, will meet with Oleg Lavrentovich, director of Kent State's Liquid Crystal Institute, and other faculty members to review progress on the two university research grant projects funded by Samsung.
The current Samsung-sponsored research conducted at Kent State deals with two main themes: New liquid crystalline materials for display applications, and the search for the new techniques of surface alignment of liquid crystals. Without uniform alignment, the LCD panels are not able to display images.
The second project is lead by Kent State's Ohio research scholar and professor of chemical physics Hiroshi Yokoyama, who develops new approaches to uniform alignment of liquid crystals at the walls of the display panels. "The goal of our research is to establish a conceptual breakthrough to bring Samsung's LCDs to a new competitive edge," Yokoyama said.
Kent State's Liquid Crystal Institute is the most comprehensive research and educational center in the field of liquid crystals. In 2003, Kent State and Samsung established an ongoing collaboration on various aspects of liquid crystal technology.
"Samsung has been a wonderful partner with Kent State in exploring new technologies and supporting important new research," Lavrentovich said.
The field of liquid crystal display technology has exploded in recent years, with strong demand around the world for flat panel TVs, cell phones, computer monitors and new devices such as the iPad. "It is not widely known that Kent State was the birthplace of the technology that makes these products possible," said Lavrentovich. "Research performed at the Liquid Crystal Institute and similar centers around the world led to the establishment of this $150 billion industry."
Shin will meet with Kent State faculty involved in the Samsung-supported projects, including Yokoyama, physics professor David Allender and Satyendra Kumar, associate vice president for research and sponsored programs. Kumar was Shin's advisor when he was a graduate student at Kent State.
"Of course, while Dr. Shin is on campus we will also take the opportunity to present themes for future cooperative research with Samsung," Lavrentovich added.

text: Just came from the course and there's paint marking the spots for the benches. Does anyone know if this means they're putting permanent benches in concrete or are they just bringing movable ones? There's also paint marking the new teepad on 14, which will be about 20 or 25 feet in front of the existing pad (which is higher ground and should eliminate the problem of having the teepad flooded.)

Late Comeback Comes Up Short as Women's Basketball Falls 66-64 at Johnson C. Smith
November 20, 2010
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Despite a double-double from Devona Knight with 12 points and 11 rebounds, Pfeiffer University fell to host Johnson C. Smith 66-64 in non-conference womens basketball action at day one of the Queen City Classic. Three late free throws by Brittany Cox gave the Falcons a shot at the end, but a final heave by Domonique China fell short as the Golden Bulls survived improving to 3-0. The loss for the Lady Falcons sends them to 1-2.
Johnson C. Smith closed out the first half with a five-point run to carry a 34-28 lead into the locker room. Pfeiffer played catch up for most of the second half until a China layup tied the contest at 59 with 4:22 to play. After a brief two point Pfeiffer lead thanks to a Surratt jumper, a 7-0 JCSU run created the games final bit of separation.
Pfeiffer placed three others in double-figures besides Knights 12. Cox led the way with a game-high 16, followed by Chinas 13 and Olivia Surratts 11. For the hosts, Shavonda Price and Laqwesha Gamble each had 15 while Shakeena Cunningham had 10.
Team stats saw Johnson C. Smith lead in two of the three categories. The Golden Bulls shot 43% from the field and 72% from the charity stripe to lead those numbers. The Lady Falcons drained eight three-pointers shooting 33% to lead that category.
Pfeiffer will wrap up action in the Queen City Classic on Sunday afternoon taking on Livingstone in Charlotte at 2:00 p.m.

Leadership on gun violence
This session, Rep. Mike Hope of Lake Stevens committed the venal sin of embracing a sensible approach to gun violence, one that doesn't blunt the Second Amendment. Hope is sponsoring House Bill 1588, requiring background checks for the private sale of firearms. NRA mass mailings notwithstanding, the bill won't mitigate responsible gun ownership.
"I realize that it may not be politically favorable to support this legislation, mostly due to rhetoric, but understand that I do so in good conscience, because God forbid a tragedy such as the Connecticut shootings happen in my district," Hope said. "I want to know that I did my best to make it legally impossible for a dangerous felon to purchase a gun. I am reasonable so I understand that this won't stop every criminal from obtaining a gun. But with this legislation I know, as a lawmaker I have done my best within my abilities and that is my job."
Another narrative flows from an orphan who lived on the streets of Korea and was later adopted by an American serviceman during the war. Sen. Paull Shin took the name of his adopted father, earned his doctorate from the University of Washington and became a distinguished community college professor. A religiously devout and valued lawmaker, Shin is not impetuous. His judgment and leadership on guns, like Rep. Hope's, signal a new political current.
"I'm extremely concerned about the terrible gun violence we've seen in the past few months, and I believe that we have a responsibility as a state Legislature to do what we can to help keep our communities safe," Shin said. "People have spoken and they want us to take action. I understand this is a controversial issue, so it makes sense to start with common-sense solutions that we should all be able to agree are good ideas."
Common sense is the animating idea. And its bipartisan.
State Sen. Nick Harper, an Everett Democrat, holds the political seat once occupied by the redoubtable Augie Mardesich. Harper is leading the charge on the senate side, advocating a series of gun-violence bills.
"The violence prevention measures we are pursuing are common-sense bills which have wide bipartisan support. We agree that mental health is at the root of gun violence, which is why four of these bills address that aspect of the issue," Harper said. "Our goal with all of this legislation is to keep guns out of the hands of people who intend to do harm to themselves or others, not to take any guns away or limit the type of guns responsible Americans have the right to own."
Thread together the leadership of Harper, Hope, Shin, Rep. Mike Sells and others. Universal background checks, mental-health funding and safer storage of firearms will enhance existing law and protect Washington families. It's time.

12 Most Dangerous 'Pets'countdown
Sometimes humans feel the call of the wild, which can cause us to do something a little out of our comfort zone. However, it is very rare that a wild animal feels the call of domesticity. Still, plenty of people continue to take on wild animals as pets. While the outcome can occasionally be surprisingly sweet, most of the time, owners are flirting with disaster. Watch what dangerous creatures some folks have decided to take on as pets, and judge how wise those decisions were.
Animal: Chimpanzee
Location: Las Vegas, Nev.
What Happened: While we may share 99 percent of out genetic code with chimpanzees, that doesn't mean they want to be our neighbors. C.J. the chimp has escaped from his backyard cage twice in one month, terrorizing locals in the surrounding area, and causing chaos in the streets.
Animal: Python
Location: Seattle, Wash.
What Happened: A 7-foot-long Burmese python broke out of its home and went for a slither on the streets. The animal's escape caused a panic, since the creature is known for ambush hunting and it's powerful contriction abilities. Many areas are having a growing problem with dangerous snakes, as owners abandon the animals when they find that they are too much work.
Animal: Hyena
Location: Miami, Fla.
What Happened: Even though hyenas are one of the most feared predators in the wild, Bryan Hawn decided to illegally raise one in his apartment. Hawn dealt with the hyena's destructive and dangerous behavior, seeing the animal into adulthood without any formal training.
Animal: Buffalo
Location: Texas
What Happened: A couple decided to keep their favorite buffalo from a herd they sold and trained it to be a pet. Wildthing the buffalo, who is now close to 2,500 pounds, lives in the house with the pair and a younger buffalo, both of which are still working on potty training. Their owner, a former rodeo performer, says that he understands the powerful animal can easily kill a man using its horns, but doubts that will happen with his peculiar pet.
Animal: Monitor Lizard
Location: Delaware
What Happened: Ron Huff saw himself as a true reptile wrangler, collecting several monitor lizards and letting the animals roam around his home freely. The pets would often bite Huff, breaking the skin, but the owner said he never feared the creatures. Unfortunately, things escalated and Huff was later found dead in his apartment, mauled by his pets.
Animal: Elephant
Location: Odessa, Ukraine
What Happened: Ludmilla Popova took on the task of briefly raising a baby elephant after the newborn's mother rejected it. The elephant stayed with the zookeeper until they could find a new living situation, happily making itself at home, especially in the fridge. While this is a unique and sweet occurence, owning an elephant is highly illegal and extremely dangerous due to the animal's size and strength.
Animal: Lion
Location: Australia
What Happened: Toddler Maddi Robinson received an unusual cribmate: a baby lion. Her parents work at a local zoo and took in the cub in order to provide the animal with the hand-rearing it needed. While Maddi and the lion make great snuggle buddies now, her parents plan to have the animal out of the house before it reaches a threatening size. .
Animal: Alligator
Location: Milwaukee, Wis.
What Happened: A 5-foot crocodile was discovered in a man's bedroom during a search of the owner's house. The pet was removed from the home due to the concern over itl inflicting a lethal bite on its owner or others. The man who was caring for the alligator said the creature was part of the family, and that the animal lived in the bedroom because it had outgrown everywhere else.
Animal: Grizzly Bear
Location: Montana
What Happened: An animal lover to the core, Casey Anderson could not stand by as a bear cub was kept in a steel box at an overpopulated wildlife park. The man rescued the cub and hand-reared the animal, forming a brotherly bond. Anderson created a sanctuary for the cub to grow up in comfortably and safely. The sanctuary is open to visitors, but understanding the strength of grizzly bears, Anderson allows no one but himself direct contact with the animal.
Animal: Tiger
Location: Tampa, Fla.
What Happened: The daughter of two animal handlers, a Florida teen is helping her parents out by caring for a young tiger. The girl allows the animal to sleep in bed with her every night, a choice that some animal trainers say is comparable to snoozing with a live grenade. Regardless of the risk, the teen remains unafraid of the tiger.
Animal: Polar Bear
Location: Canada
What Happened: A Canadian bear trainer calls one of the world's largest land predators his pet. The man has been raising an 800-pound polar bear since the animal was 6 weeks old, and says he is totally comfortable with it. To prove his point, the trainer often goes swimming with the animal and sticks his head in the bear's mouth.
Animal: Hippo
Location: South Africa
What Happened: A hippo is considered one of the most dangerous and lethal creatures in the animal kingdom, but for a South African family, this animal is just like a dog. Jessica the hippo was rescued and cared for by a couple, and now the animal has made herself comfortable. Jessica receives bottle-feedings from the pair, plays with their dogs and often lets herself into the house.Next: 10 Scariest Sea Serpents

Reptiles are little understood but much biased against. The reality of the situation is, I find my pet python to be a better pet than my cats and dog, as well as safer than my dog. In fact, I'm about to get another one. My python is a very healthy specimen, well fed, docile, and growing steadily. I'd recommend royal pythons over dogs any time.February 14 2013 at 6:39 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply

Back in my Jr. High days, middle 60's, the man who trained cheta for the Tarzan movies brought a Chimp to the school to talk about them. The one thin he said that I remember is You Train a Chimp, You Don't Tame a Chimp.

Marketing Intelligence Management
- 7-weeks
- 1.5 credits
- Prerequisite: MBA Core
Marketing research is in a state of transition. New technologies including point-of-sale UPC scanners, frequent shopper programs, credit/debit cards, customer tracking technologies, caller-id systems, and electronic shopping interfaces have created an explosion of data on customers and their purchase behavior. The Internet and on-line retrieval systems have opened the door to volumes of secondary research on market trends and the competitive environment. Syndicated databases provide detailed information on the buying habits of individual households. Managers must understand what research is available, what assumptions underlie the research methods, how to analyze and interpret the data, and how to use this information to create value for customers and improve business performance.
The goals of this course are to introduce students to the emerging field of marketing intelligence management. The course will discuss major types of customer and competitor databases including Geodemographic Information Systems (GIS), Point-of-sale (POS) UPC Scanner Data, Catalog and Online Shopping Data, Direct Response and Customer Loyalty Data and Social Network data.
Students will gain hands-on experience using data analysis tools and statistical software to profile customer segments, analyze market potential, model promotion effectiveness, estimate customer value, identify cross-selling opportunities, and track purchase conversion rates. We will also explore opportunities for using these data to develop new products and services.

Fresh food, amazing views, mountaintop venues - experience gourmet cuisine in a fine dining atmosphere; have a casual fireside meal with friends; or grab a quick bite on the go. Whistler's extensive selection of award-winning restaurants and chefs offer appetizing fare from different ethnicities and regions, with many of them featuring organic and locally sourced ingredients.
Step inside Whistler's original watering hole and go back in time to a place dripping with legend, lore and finger lickin' BBQ sauce. Located at the base of the Creekside Gondola, Dusty's offers mouthwatering BBQ, arguably the world's best Caesar, a legendary après, party rockin' live shows and is open everyday 11am 'til late. When we say Dusty's is full of legend and lore, we aren't kidding. Dusty's Bar and BBQ was named after Dusty, a stuffed horse that rode into Whistler in 1979 in the back of a pick-up. He was placed in the bar and for almost a decade, watched over the regulars as they partied the nights away. One full moon friday, legend has it a female partier stripped totally naked and jumped on Dusty's back. Dusty bucked into life, burst through the bar doors, shook the shocked nude into a snowbank and galloped off into the night, never to be seen again. The moral of the story? This is a place that will put the Wild back into your West.More Info
Located at the base of Blackcomb Mountain in Whistler's Upper Village, where the Wizard Chair rises up and the Size Matters Wonder Routes touches down, Merlin's home-away-from-home vibe is just one small part of the reason that après sessions here can be so off-the-hook. Decor inspired by the laidback mountain cabin, Merlin's has cultivated the spirited vibe of an old-school rec room party free of fundepriving chaperones. The spiritual home of local rockers, The Hairfarmers, Merlin's offers good times, mountain-high nachos and flowing brews, on tap. Open daily for lunch, dinner and bevys from 11am 'til late.More Info
World-renowned as "the" place to après, the Garibaldi Lift Company (GLC) lounge bar relishes its location above the Whistler Gondola building, overlooking skiers cruising down the slopes of Whistler Mountain and summer's downhillers charging full-throttle from the Whistler Mountain Bike Park. Offering the perfect view of the Bike Park's infamous GLC drops, (a trio of cliff drops to a dirt landing pad), the patio is an all-season Mecca for those in the know - that is, those who know that every day should end with beers, tall tales and the potential of a viewing spectacular bail from the riders and skiers charging down their final run. Kid-friendly until 8pm, the GLC is open every day from 11am 'til late, and is the rallying point for those kicking off an evening out in Whistler and the after-dark crowd who appreciate above-ground ambience and serious soundscapes.More Info
Homemade breads and soups, baked goods, cooked breakfasts, hearty lunches and dinner specials are just a few of the treats that await you in Alpine Meadows, only 6km north of Whistler village.More Info
Locally inspired cuisine set in a casual bistro atmosphere. Chef Nicholas Cassatari combines his classic training, top tier experience, and world travels with the best of B.C.'s bounty to create the fine flavours at Alta Bistro. Owners Edward Dangerfield and Eric Griffith strive to create an effortless, casual service in the dining room and bar. Wine director, Eric Griffith, brings his wine passion and training together with a concise, international wine list (20 by the glass) with Whistler's only Enomatic machines dispensing fine and eclectic selections to pair with Alta's food. Edward Dangerfield and Scot Curry combine mixology talent to create some of Whistler's finest cocktails, handcrafted and have raised the bar on sustainability. Alta Bistro's intimate bistro setting is small and off the track in Whistler's village, but is busy and lively, so reservations are a must.More Info

PORTLAND -- A 28-year-old felon was arrested in Portland Wednesday after attempting to sell firearms on Facebook, police said.
Investigators were alerted to a post on Kyle Quinn Culley's Facebook page advertising guns for sale, according to Portland Police Bureau Sgt. Pete Simpson. Police then confirmed that Culley was a convicted felon.
An undercover officer arranged to buy the guns and then the PPB Gun Task Force served a search warrant at a location in the 8400 block of Southeast Insley Street, Simpson said.
Four guns were seized and Culley was jailed on four counts each of unlawful possession of a firearm and felon in possession of a firearm. He had been previously convicted on several felony charges, including kidnapping and coercion.
Simpson said it's not necessarily illegal to sell guns via social media, though the rules vary by state and by website. But it is illegal for a felon to possess a firearm.
This is a fairly unique case, Simpson said, but certainly social media is an evolving area for criminal enterprise and for police investigation.
Culley told investigators he was trying to sell the guns for his roommate, according to court documents.
KGWReporter Kyle Iboshi contributed to this report.

The article, Long-gone lead factories leave poisons in nearby yards, by USA Today is a good example of a records/CAR article.
The article written by Alison Young describes how the EPA failed to tell people about or take action on many former lead smelting sites which the EPA has apparently known about for years. The soil in many people's yards and in parks was found to contain potentially dangerous levels of lead.
Young uses tips on how to make yards safer, video interviews with parents who have children who play in their lead-filled back yards, an interactive map which states where smelters once were, and site-related documents.
In order to write this article, Young had to be technology savvy. She needed to be able to search for sites, find pictures, and create/search for video interviews on the topic.

Although the refinery is on the shore of San Rafael Bay, north of San Francisco and Oakland, it's an important fuel provider for Southern California."Southern Californians have already been experiencing increased pump prices for nearly a month due to higher oil prices, and this incident has just made the increases come

La-Z-Boy Receives Award of Excellence
Tennessee Department of Labor & Workforce Development Commissioner Burns Phillips announced that La-Z-Boy Inc. located in Dayton, Tennessee, was chosen to receive the Commissioner's Award of Excellence for Workplace Safety and Health.
"La-Z-Boy Inc. has demonstrated strong commitment to maintaining a safe and healthy workplace," said Burns Phillips, Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development Commissioner, who presented the Commissioner's Award of Excellence to the company at the closing session of the Tennessee Safety and Health Congress in Nashville. "The evaluation criteria for this award are not only challenging, but are also designed to stimulate interest in accident prevention and to promote safety."
The Commissioner's Award of Excellence honors Tennessee employers and employees who meet a required number of hours without workplace injuries serious enough to cause an employee to miss a day of work. The number of hours required is based on the size of the company.
La-Z-Boy Inc. manufactures upholstered household furniture. The facility employs 1,297 people and has qualified for this award by having an injury-free record dating back to March of 2012.
For more information on the Governor's Safety Award and other TOSHA award programs contact TOSHA's office in Nashville (800) 249-8510.

UNDATED (AP) -- Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen says she expects the Fed to begin raising interest rates later this year -- if the job market improves and it is confident that inflation will rise closer toward its target rate.
But she cautions that the economy is still facing a number of headwinds that could stall growth.
In a speech in Rhode Island, Yellen highlighted problems such as disappointing wage growth and a significant number of people working part time who would like full time jobs. She also mentioned a weak housing recovery and global economic weakness.
But Yellen says because the Fed's interest rate moves take time to filter through the economy, she believes further improvements in the economy will likely make it prudent to start raising rates later this year.
HAMPTON, N.H. (AP) -- Hillary Rodham Clinton says Republicans in Congress and GOP presidential hopefuls are threatening tens of thousands of small-business jobs by seeking to cut a little-known government agency that guarantees loans to help U.S. exporters.
The Democratic presidential contender said during a round-table discussion at Smuttynose Brewery in New Hampshire that Congress should renew financing for the Export-Import Bank. She argues the GOP is risking up to 164,000 jobs supported by the bank.
She says Republicans running in the 2016 campaign would rather threaten the jobs than "stand up to the tea party and talk radio."
Conservatives have sought to eliminate the Export-Import Bank, arguing it gives the government too big a role in helping some large American companies sell products overseas at the expense of others.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. consumer prices were up slightly in April, but overall gains were held back by another decline in energy costs that offset the biggest one-month jump in medical care in eight years.
The Labor Department says consumer prices edged up 0.1 percent last month compared to March, when prices rose a modest 0.2 percent. It was the smallest monthly gain since prices fell 0.7 percent in January.
Energy costs were down 1.3 percent and food prices were unchanged, keeping inflation low.
Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy, increased 0.3 percent. It was the biggest gain in 15 months. Core inflation was driven higher by a 0.7 percent rise in medical care, reflecting a surge in hospital costs.
Inflation pressures have generally been well contained since the recession.
Coast Guard: Fire on Gulf oil platform; 28 workers evacuated
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Twenty-eight workers have been evacuated from an oil production platform that is on fire off Louisiana's coast.
A Coast Guard news release says the fire was reported at 2:50 a.m. Friday near Breton Island, which is close to Louisiana's southeastern coast. Production was shut down, and no injuries have been reported.
The Coast Guard reported a light sheen of oil could be seen from the air along a more than one-mile stretch of water. Also, about 4,000 barrels of crude oil is stored on the platform. Authorities are working to put out the fire and keep that oil from getting into the water.
The cause of the fire was under investigation.
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Federal regulators have ordered the company whose pipeline spilled thousands of gallons of oil across a California coastline to take a series of steps before it can restart the line.
The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration announced a so-called corrective action against Plains All American Pipeline on Friday.
The order requires the company to remove the damaged section of pipe, test it and empty the remainder of the line.
The agency says it still does not know the cause of the leak, which spilled up to 105,000 gallons of crude into a coastal ditch Tuesday. Thousands of gallons flowed into the sea northwest of Santa Barbara.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A federal appeals court says America's largest tobacco companies must inform consumers that cigarettes were formulated to increase addiction, but not that they lied about the dangers of smoking.
The ruling Friday from the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia is a partial win for cigarette makers that objected to running court-ordered advertisements that would have the companies brand themselves as liars.
The ads would have begun with a statement that the companies "deliberately deceived the American public." The ads stem from a 2006 court ruling ordering the companies to admit they had lied for decades about the dangers of smoking.
The companies called that statement overbroad and misleading.
NEW YORK (AP) -- Wal-Mart, the nation's largest food retailer, is urging its thousands of U.S. suppliers to curb the use of antibiotics in farm animals and improve treatment of them.
That means asking meat producers, eggs suppliers and others to use antibiotics only for disease prevention or treatment, not to fatten their animals, a common industry practice. The guidelines also aim to get suppliers to stop using sow gestation crates and other housing that lacks sufficient space.
They're also being asked to avoid painful procedures like de-horning or castration without proper pain management.
Wal-Mart wants suppliers to provide it with an annual report and publicly report their progress on their own websites.
Wal-Mart is facing pressure from shoppers who want to know more about how their food is produced.
MOLINE, Ill. (AP) -- Solid sales of its construction equipment offset a global agricultural slowdown for Deere, the company said Friday. It also raised its outlook for the year.
The Moline, Illinois, company said its second-quarter earnings fell 30 percent to $690.5 million, compared with $981 million last year, but it was still better than Wall Street had expected.
Deere said sales of farming equipment fell 25 percent from a year ago to $5.77 billion in the second quarter, while sales of construction and forestry equipment rose 2 percent to $1.63 billion. Deere's financing unit, which gives loans to customers to buy equipment, also improved, with revenue rising 14 percent to $653 million.
Profit for 2015 is now expected to be around $1.9 billion, the company said, up slightly from the $1.8 billion it had projected earlier this year.
CINCINNATI (AP) -- Frisch's Big Boy restaurants are being sold to a private equity fund, ending family ownership of the Cincinnati-based chain that dates to its first drive-thru in 1939.
Frisch's Restaurants Inc. says NRD Partners I will buy all outstanding shares for $34 each, or some $175 million. Frisch's shares closed Thursday at $28.12.
The regional chain with the iconic Big Boy mascot owns some 95 family restaurants in Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee. Its website states it has another 26 operated in the region by licensees.
CEO Craig Maier and marketing Vice President Karen Maier will retire, but continue as franchisees.
The deal is expected to close by the end of September.
Frisch's last month reported $47 million in revenue for its fiscal third quarter, with 45 cents earnings per share.
NEW YORK (AP) -- Expedia is selling its majority stake in eLong, a Chinese travel service, to a group of businesses based in China for roughly $671 million.
The news sent shares of the online travel company up more than 5 percent in early trading Friday.
Bellevue, Washington-based Expedia said before the U.S. markets opened that it had sold its 62.4 percent share in eLong to a group that includes Ctrip.com International Ltd., Keystone Lodgings Holdings Ltd., Plateno Group Ltd. and Luxuriant Holdings Ltd.
ELong had reportedly been a drag on Expedia's earnings. The company said the transaction closed Friday.
Expedia's stock was up $5.62 to $111.45 early Friday, after rising as high as $115 earlier in the session.
HOUSTON (AP) -- Vanguard Natural Resources LLC will acquire Eagle Rock Energy Partners LP in a $474 million deal.
The agreement was announced Thursday by the Houston-based companies.
Vanguard Natural Resources will also assume $140 million of debt from Eagle Rock Energy Partners, which will become a wholly owned indirect subsidiary.
The agreement requires approval of the boards of both companies.
Vanguard Natural Resources deals in acquisition, production and development of oil and natural gas properties. The company has operations in Texas, Wyoming, Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Montana, Colorado, Louisiana, Mississippi and North Dakota.
Eagle Rock Energy Partners is also involved with oil and natural gas properties.
RIGA, Latvia (AP) -- German Chancellor Angela Merkel (AHN'-geh-lah MEHR'-kuhl) says after talks with her Greek counterpart Alexis Tsipras (TSEE'-prahs) that there is still "a whole lot left to be done" to avoid a financial meltdown in Athens.
Merkel and French President Francois Hollande (frahn-SWAH' oh-LAWND') spoke for some two hours with Tsipras at the Eastern Partnership summit and the German leader said Friday that "very, very intensive work is still needed."
The three met to pave the way for a special eurozone meeting of finance ministers late this month or early June.
The meeting came a day after a leading official from Tsipras' party said that Greece will not be able to repay a loan to the International Monetary Fund early next month unless a deal is reached with its creditors to unblock bailout funds.
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) -- European Central Bank head Mario Draghi (DRAHG'-ee) says governments that share the euro currency shouldn't wait for better times to push through reforms that would boost sluggish growth.
Draghi said tough measures to clear away bureaucracy and make hiring and firing more flexible are needed quickly to energize the economy.
He rejected arguments that looser hiring and firing rules only work over the long term and could hurt the hesitant recovery that is taking hold. He said that "the sooner they take place, the better."
Draghi spoke Friday at an ECB conference in Sintra, Portugal, where economists are discussing ways to lower unemployment. The jobless rate is 11.3 percent for the 19 European Union member countries that use the euro, and 50 percent for young people in Spain and Greece.

|Intro | DxOMark Score | Portrait, Landscape and Sport | How fair is DxOMark ?
So how fair is the DxOMark Camera Sensor Score?
There is a difficult, but important question. Probably every image quality scientist[i] in the world would have a somewhat different personal preference for a benchmark like this. But my impression is that the benchmark is pretty useful: I analyzed the model and the data, but didn't find any serious flaws. Reassuringly, results like Figure 1 also appear to be pretty consistent with traditional hands-on reviews: camera models that were stronger [or weaker] than state-of-the-art at the time when they were introduced (such as the Canon 40D [or 50D]) show up as expected in Figure 1. And, as mention at the start of the article, having a pretty solid metric by an independent party is better than never-ending discussions about what the ultimate benchmark might look like.
The list of critical notes, suggestions and open issues are relatively subtle because the entire topic is a bit subtle:
Low ISO bias
If you compare the DxOMark data in Figure 7 for a number of prominent cameras you would get a more balanced impression about which camera to buy than by just looking at the overall DxOMark Sensor score. If you focus on the latter, you would strongly prefer the Nikon D800 with its excellent low ISO dynamic range. But this emphasizes one aspect of the sensor (essentially the ability to do single shot HDR) that provides a capability we never had in the past. It is a feature which we may infrequently need – and one that some types of users may never see (e.g. if you shoot JPG).
However, at sufficiently high ISO, other models win. High ISO usage may be a more relevant usage for many users than HDR ability at low ISO.
One can therefore ask whether DxOMark hasn't overstressed low ISO noise[ii]. This may explain why some reviewers arrive at different conclusions about the image quality of the Canon 5D3 (or 1Dx) compared to the Nikon D800 (or D4)..
To DxOMark's credit, the user does get three detailed scores to choose from. So you can focus on "dynamic range" if you need single-shot HDR like capability and "low light ISO" if you need to boost your ISO settings often.
Comparing different sensor sizes
As pointed out by Falk Lumo[iii], the fact that larger sensors tend to have higher DxOMark scores than smaller sensors is not a guarantee that bigger is better – even if you check out the actual DxOMark Sensor scores before selecting a camera.
Say you are considering an APS-C model like the Fujifilm X-E1 versus a full frame camera. Falk Lumo's point is that the intrinsic definition of the DxOMark metric (as well as most other benchmarks) assumes that you would compare say Fujifilm's 35mm f/1.4 lens to an "equivalent" 50mm f/1.4 lens on full frame. This reduces the depth of field on full frame while decreasing the noise. But if we had kept the depth of field[iv] constant (by picking a 50mm f/2.0 lens on full frame), the noise would have stayed the same. So one can argue that the DxOMark (and any other comparison across formats at constant ISO setting makes larger formats look good by assuming that we increase the total influx of light falling on the larger sensor by picking increasingly large diameter lenses (constant aperture).
Complexity of interpreting the numbers
Complexity is a fact-of-life in the high tech industry. To DxO's credit, DxOMark allows you use just a single overall score to compare camera body image quality. They alternatively allow you to zoom in (and get 3 numbers instead of one) or zoom in all the way (for graphs with the actual measured data). But despite or possibly due to all this data, it is difficult to translate a conclusion of "A is 20 points better than B" into what exactly you would expect to observe in actual photos. Because I initially had trouble translating the numbers into "What type of images would this difference show up in?", I added some photos to this essay now I believe that I more or less figured it out.
The undocumented Master Formula
DxO does not document how the final DxOMark Camera Sensor score is computed from the individual Dynamic Range, Color Sensitivity and Low-Light ISO scores. I feel it should be provided as the overall score gets a lot of attention. With the formula, DxO countered, a manufacturer could attempt to optimize the overall score. But I still don't see benefits to leaving this formula undocumented: if DxO believes the master formula is a reasonable approximation of what photographers are looking for in a camera, they should document it with a note that it is a compromise between completeness and ease of use.
Here is my own attempt at a recipe to compute the overall score from the three subscores. Start off with the DxOMark Camera Sensor score for the Leica M8 as an arbitrary reference point. This give you 58 points. Next add 4.3 points for every extra bit of Color Depth that a camera has compared to the M8. Then add 3.4 points for every extra unit of Dynamic Range that the camera has compared to the M8. And finally add 4.4 points for every factor 2 improvement in ISO relative to the M8. The formula version[v] seems to predict accurately to within 1 or 2 points.
Use case names
The Landscape/Sport/Portrait terms can easily confuse people who take this literally. I am tempted to interpret the 3 metrics as Dynamic Range (as DxO does), Luminance Noise (instead of Low-Light), and Chroma Noise (instead of Color Sensitivity). Those are quantities you find more often in reviews.
Print versus Screen mode
To compare DxOMark Camera Sensor scores between cameras with different resolutions, you need to look at the "Print" results. The overall DxOMark Camera Sensor score is "Print" level only, which is fine. For the next level of detail a viewer gets to choose between Print and Screen. This is less fine: Screen is not normally useful for end users (it can be useful for debugging your own calculations). The lowest level of data is presented in "Screen" mode only, but is not labeled as such. I would prefer to see all data to be labeled Print/Screen or –better yet– Normal/100%. Normal would stress that this is what matters. And 100% is similar to pixel peeping: here you look at the noise at the 100% crop level and loose the overview of what it means at the image level.
Why measure Color Depth at low ISO?
High-ISO chroma noise seems more relevant for photographers than low-ISO chroma noise. I doubt people are actually able to see color noise at such low ISO: it's hard enough to spot regular noise at low ISO, and chroma noise is even more elusive. I suspect that the choice to use low-ISO Color Depth is an artifact of originally trying to define a metric that matched studio portrait conditions. But I am not convinced that a studio portrait photographer typically has problems with visible chroma noise in the first place.
Metric measureable per ISO setting
It might have been simpler to have a single "perceived image quality" metric that could be measured at different ISO levels. This is particularly relevant because some cameras excel in high ISO conditions (requires a low noise floor) while others excel in low ISO conditions (requires physically large sensor). Showing a high-level graph with a single figure of merit per ISO setting might have simplified interpreting the results.
Sensor size visualization
DxOMark's online graphs allow you to plot scores with MPixels along the horizontal axis. It would be nice to have an extra setting to show sensor size instead of MPixels. This would (just like many of the graphs in this article) cluster comparable products together. Representing sensor size as color would also help because photographers tend to consider different sensor sizes (unlike MPixel ratings) as different product categories.
About Peter van den Hamer
Peter van den Hamer is a physicist by training who has been working in the Netherlands as a scientist/architect in various large high-tech and electronics companies for 25 years. Apart from merely writing about technical aspects of photography, he also does some actual photography and has exhibited work at local art galleries. The most recent exhibition at the local town hall ended in the loss of these displayed signed and numbered prints when the building went up in flames in a bizarre[vi] incident.
Although I have a science and semiconductor industry background, I am not an image quality expert.[ii]
Both Dynamic Range and Color Sensitivity are measured at low ISO. This possibly gives a 2:1 bias towards the low ISO side and stresses differences there that may not be normally visible. As illustrated in Figure 7, top notch low ISO performance is no guarantee for top notch high ISO performance.[iii]
For details and references, see sections on Falk Lumo's Equivalence Theorem above.[iv]
There are more aspects than Depth of Field, but this is the easiest one.[v]
Expressed in a linear formula: DxOMark_Sensor_Score = 59 + 4.3*(ColorDepth-21.1) + 3.4*(DynamicRange-11.3) + 4.4*log2(ISO/663) -0.2. The 3 middle terms can either add or subtract points, depending on whether the camera did better or worse than the Leica M8. Expansion of the formula gets rid of the choice of the Leica M8 as a reference. Camera scores predicted by this formula differ from the published DxOMark Sensor scores by a standard deviation of 0.7. The formula tells us that the 3 subbenchmarks have roughly equal importance. And that a factor of 2 improvement in each subbenchmark would increase the overall score by 12.1 points. My guess is that the actual formula is non-linear and may use (under some conditions) coefficients of 5/5/5 rather than 4.3/3.4/4.4.[vi]

Pneumothorax may occur on its own in the absence of underlying disease; this is termed spontaneous pneumothorax. Pneumothorax may also occur as a consequence of an injury or underlying lung disease. A small spontaneous pneumothorax may resolve without treatment; a pneumothorax arising as a result of lung disease or injury requires immediate treatment. Treatment may include insertion of a chest tube or aspiration of the free air in the chest cavity. What is a pneumothorax? A pneumothorax is a collection of free air in the chest outside the lung that causes the lung to collapse. What are the types of pneumothorax? Reader Stories Read 49 Stories Share Your Story A spontaneous pneumothorax, also referred to as a primary pneumothorax, occurs in the absence of a traumatic injury to the chest or a known lung disease. A secondary (also termed complicated) pneumothorax occurs as a result of an underlying condition. Picture of Pneumothorax (Collapsed Lung) What causes a pneumothorax? The lungs normally inflate by increasing the size of the chest cavity, resulting in a negative (vacuum) pressure in the pleural space (the area within the chest cavity but outside the lungs). If air enters the pleural space either by a hole in the lung or the chest wall, the pressure in the pleural space equals the pressure outside the body. Thus, the vacuum is lost and the lung collapses. Spontaneous pneumothorax is caused by a rupture of a cyst or a small sac (bleb) on the surface of the lung. Pneumothorax may also occur following an injury to the chest wall such as a fractured rib, any penetrating injury (gun shot or stabbing), surgical invasion of the chest, or may be deliberately induced in order to collapse the lung. A pneumothorax can also develop as a result of underlying lung diseases, including cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer, asthma, and infections of the lungs.
