"I am America. I am the part you won't recognize. But get used to me. Black, confident, cocky; my name, not yours; my religion, not yours; my goals, my own; get used to me."
He was born Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr., in Louisville, Kentucky. His very first boxing coach, former police officer Joe Martin, told him, "You better learn how to fight before you start challenging people."

In this Article
What happens after the symptoms begin?
There are three possible outcomes:
Epinephrine, which is also known as "adrenaline," is a drug that acts immediately to cause the blood vessels to contract, thereby preventing fluid leakage. It is one of the medications frequently used to treat anaphylaxis. Epinephrine also helps relax the bronchial tubes, thus relieving breathing difficulty. It also lessens stomach cramps and stops itching and hives. More importantly, epinephrine helps prevent the release of more mediators of the allergic reaction.
In addition to epinephrine, other medications and IV fluids and oxygen will probably be administered once you receive care from a health care professional. The choice of interventions will depend on the severity of the reaction the patient experiences. Epinephrine given to someone who does not have anaphylaxis can lead to a dangerously fast heart beat and severe hypertension. It should only be administered by medical personnel familiar with its use and indications or patients who were prescribed an EpiPen by their health-care provider.
Are there any disorders that appear similar to anaphylaxis?
Several disorders may appear similar to anaphylaxis. Fainting (vasovagal reaction) is the reaction that is most likely to be confused with anaphylaxis. The key differences are that in a fainting episode, the affected person has a slow pulse, cool and pale skin, and no hives or difficulty breathing. Other conditions, such as heart attacks, blood clots to the lungs, septic shock, and panic attacks can also be confused with anaphylaxis.
How is anaphylaxis diagnosed?
Reader Stories
Once you think that you might have had an anaphylactic reaction, the first order of business is to seek emergency care. Once the acute reaction has been treated you should follow up with your doctor who will probably recommend seeing an allergist. The allergist will assess whether or not the reaction was indeed allergic in nature. Usually, a careful and detailed medical history and selected blood or skin tests can identify the cause. Be prepared to recall your activities before the event, the food and medications you ingested, and whether or not you had any contact with rubber products.

Two situations deserve special attention at this point since they are not covered elsewhere but are particularly interesting.

Who are these people? Show me the poll.
Keep in mind that IS cites Dennis as authority for who is a person of good character and who is not, EVEN THOUGH DENNIS AGREES IS is "a lying, dishonest, manipulative fuckwit."
If anyone here hasn't figured out that IS is a lying, dishonest, manipulative fuckwit, then you haven't been paying attention.
Point made.Dennis
Therefore, you should not be surprised that the site IS relies upon for his stunning proposition that 20% of atheists believe in god or a universal spirit is an essay by Sam Harris in which he says these 21% are morons.
IS' citation to the essay:
In response to my question about what he meant by "fundamentalist atheist," IS replied:
1. [...] I use the word atheist fundamentalists do differentiate them from the 20% or so of atheists who do believe in some type of God, or are open-minded about an afterlife.
[...]I had expected something different than you mind-numbing reference to "the 20% or so of atheists who do believe in some type of God."
Let me restate this:
You posit that 20% of people who "believe that there is no deity" "believe in some type of God."
I am sorry that my post threw you off so much that you felt the need to resort to lewd pictures. Actually, maybe it wasn't that lewd, it looks like the guy still has his pants on, and they are not bunched up near the shoes like they would be if his pants were down. The dog also is looking at the man's eyes, not anything down lower that might be offensive. I regularly notice details like these that other people don't.
I sort of feel like I will be doing the same thing back at you, because here is the evidence for the fact that a significant portion of atheists do believe in God. The survey wasn't perfect, as Sam points out, but nevertheless a significant portion of atheists do believe in God.
I don't believe in God myself, but I am also not an atheist fundamentalist. I like to consider myself a freethinker.
An excerpt from the referenced site upon which he relies:
According to a recent Pew survey, 21 percent of atheists in the United States believe in "God or a universal spirit," and 8 percent are "absolutely certain" that such a Being exists. One wonders if they were also "absolutely certain" they understood the meaning of the term "atheist." Claiming to be an atheist who believes in God is like claiming to be a happily married bachelor. Rarely does one discover nonsense in such a pristine state. Still this hasn't stopped many people from concluding that there is a schism in the atheist community.
[...]The Pew survey produced a few more anomalies: 3 percent of "atheists" are "absolutely certain" that a personal God exists and believe that the Bible is His "literal" Word; 4 percent attend religious services weekly; 5 percent pray daily; 2 percent receive answers to their prayers "at least once a week," have witnessed "a divine healing," and draw their morality straight from scripture. It may well be that some atheists, lacking the requisite fear of hell, find it amusing to maliciously waste a pollster's time. I think, rather, that these figures are simply what it sounds like to ram against the error bars in this particular survey.
Pew's sample of 35,556 Americans included 515 respondents who identified themselves as "atheists" (1.6 percent). The margin of error for this subgroup appears to be around 5 percent – which clearly makes a hash of many of the above findings. Among 35,556 people, Pew seems to have found 40 especially confused God-fearing men and women who think they are "atheists." Their mutterings do not offer any special insight into the nature of belief.
So IS relies upon a site which thoroughly discredits this study to establish that we should all take this study quite seriously.
I think we all (save SI) can agree that SI's "mutterings do not offer any special insight into the nature of belief."

From Brown University Robotics
http://ros.org/wiki/roboframenet gives an overview of the organization of RoboFrameNet (RFN). Read this first; it will take 10 minutes and save you lots of time after that.
For running demos, basically, run roboframenet_bringup/roboframenet_pr2.launch or roboframenet_bringup/roboframenet_turtlebot.launch on the robot itself, ssh again into the robot, then send commands by publishing them on the correct topic. (Note: Everything runs locally on the robot.) For instance:
rostopic pub command std_msgs/String "Ping."
should just make a text message saying "Ping" appear on the terminal in which you launched RFN. More interestingly:
rostopic pub command std_msgs/String "Give me 5."
will make the PR2 give you a high five.
Note, for movement tasks ("go to X"), you need to open up rviz and localize the robot first. Second, we're not at Willow Garage and the moving demo is map-specific, the demo as-is won't work. You'll need to modify the location names / positions / orientations in move_base_rfn's location_to_pose function. (You can get position and orientation on rviz's maps by doing a rostopic echo and, eg, setting a 2D nav goal.
Launch files, more in depth
In roboframenet_bringup/:
Adding new actions
The from-scratch to do this is the create an rfnserver. There are two examples in rfnserver/bin, namely ping.py and loop.py, which are basically skeleton files for doing a single and repeated task, respectively.
If you're trying to tie in already-existing code, you have a few options. One, if the code in question is an action server, is to modify the code directly. This was my initial thought on how I would tie others' code in. However, I wouldn't recommend it.
Instead, for any case, you should create a small RFNServer which acts as a bridge between the pre-existing code and RFN. I've demonstrated two instances of doing this. First, pr2_props_rfn demonstrates a bridge for launch files. Note that the roslaunch API is still in flux, so this may or may not work anymore, and you may have to change it. Second, move_base_rfn demonstrates a bridge for action servers. If I recall, it can sometimes act a little wonky if you try to call an action server twice in a row, so there may be an underlying problem in my implementation. I feel like, for both cases, there should be some way to standardize them so that you don't have to wade through icky roslaunch and action server APIs, but I did not pursue that route.
Then, you'll want to add bindings to the speech half of the pipeline. This is accomplished through semantic frames (the concept of an action) and lexical units (the binding between natural language and semantic frames). The easiest way to do this is to copy an example. For semantic frames, look at frame_registrar/frames/*.yaml. For lexical units, go to semantic_framer/lu/*.yaml. (Note that multiple lexical units may occupy one file.)
Other things not yet metioned
imperative_to_declarative puts the implicit "you" in front of imperative (command) sentences. The assumption that this all commands are simple and imperative makes the natural language part easier, though it limits the expressiveness of the end user.
install_application.sh is a hack to install the roboframenet app on the PR2. This is NOT necessary to run RFN. This was used for Willow's demo where you can scan a PR2's QR code and gain control of it. This installs particular RFN application on the PR2, thus making it capable of running RFN with voice command/control with nearly zero configuration on the end-users part. (I don't know if the apps ever made it out of Willow's HQ.)
voice_command will be released with PR2 apps for Android. I don't know when this is scheduled. I had the impression that it was pretty close at the end of summer 2011, but I guess not?
If someone (probably Chad) wants you to run this and you can't figure something out, feel free to contact me! :) firstname.lastname@example.com is my more-or-less permanent email address. Best of luck!

I think the english language is deficient to describe our differing levels of understanding subjects. Know, believe, etc. all have too many definitions to accurately portray any distinction.
I have noticed this in legal cases, especially when asking lay and expert witness what they know about certain concepts. The audience inevitably has to assume that when the witness says he knows something, it is impossible to demonstrate how well he knows it without entering a 10 minute lecture. This is nonsense. Especially when dealing in abstract areas. Hard science is head over heels ahead of soft sciences in this area. However soft sciences involve empirical data versus propositional knowledge. The attempt to use empirical terms to describe propositional concepts is not working. It would appear to me that it is time for a change.
I would like to attempt to establish at least three new words to describe differentiating levels of knowledge. I haven't a clue which ones to use, but I am sure someone will have some suggestions.

We are devastated to report that a three-month-old Pit Bull puppy named Joey was thrown from a car in Brentwood, Long Island, on Saturday. A witness found the tiny 10-pound pup in a plastic bag near the Sagtikos State Parkway, covered in fleas and crying out for help. Joey suffered three broken vertebrae in his neck and is recovering at the Veterinary Medical Center of Long Island.
The ASPCA is offering a reward of $15,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction in this case. This reward is in addition to a $5,000 reward offered by the Suffolk County SPCA. We are also providing a $10,000 grant to the Veterinary Medical Center to offset some of the costs of treating and caring for Joey.
"We were both outraged and saddened to hear about this disturbing case of violent abuse, and the callousness that was demonstrated by those responsible," says Matt Bershadker, Senior Vice President of the ASPCA's Anti-Cruelty Group. "While our ultimate hope is that these types of heinous acts never occur, this is a message that cruelty toward animals will not be tolerated. We are pleased to be in a position to help those who are helping Joey."
If you have information related to Joey's case, please contact the Suffolk County SPCA by calling (631) 382-7722.
Animal cruelty is a crime in every state—if you see something, call 911. Please join our battle against animal cruelty today!
Bless your heart Joey and many prayers for you doll!!! Why couldn't they just take him to a shelter....why do they choose cruelty and throw the pup out the car window?? I just don't get it!!
disgusting.. this has brought me to tears xxx
I hope that they find the "so called Person" who did this.. even if the person calls it in it should be given back to the ASPCA for all the good thay do God Bless Joey
I believe murderers and animal abuses are the sorriest people our world has to offer. Thank you for the ASPCA's and shelters
People make me sick!! Lots of hugs and prayers and get well wishes to you, Joey! I hope they find the sick b@stards who would do this to an innocent animal. Disgusting.
So sad this is so heartbreaking. How can people treat an animal so horrible. What do animals do to us? All they want is someone to love them and take care of them. My husband and I have our dog he's so spoiled rotten. We love him so much he's our child. People that are so cruel shouldn't ever be able to be around any animal, never the less own one. I do hope there's JUSTICE for this little guy. The people who done this I hope they are found. We need to put a STOP TO ANIMAL CRUELTY.
Joey, hang in there I know you are a fighter and will give unconditional love to your new family. You deserve only the best.
hope they catch the creep and throw the book at them. Laws need to be as strict on animal abuse as on child and elderly abuse. It is our job as a society to protect those that cant protect themselves and that includes animals
I just can't understand how people can be so cruel to their pets. Dogs are so loving and have no understanding of why their owners choose to abuse them. God bless you, Joey. I hope you get better soon and find a home with people who will love you like a part of the family.
I will never understand how people can be so cruel. Some of my friends tell me it's a good thing I don't understand. I don't expect everyone to be an animal lover, but I expect no one to be an animal hater. I'm a firm believer in an eye for an eye! Get well soon little Joey.

The Environmental Protection Agency has suspended BP from bidding on any new federal contracts, including drilling leases, as a result of the company's conduct during the Deepwater Horizon oil rig disaster in 2010 that led to 11 deaths and the largest U.S. offshore spill.The temporary ban came early on the day the Interior Department held a sale of leases on 20 million acres of offshore oil and gas prospects in the western Gulf of Mexico that the department said attracted $133 million in bids. People familiar with the process said the company did not submit any bids. The EPA said the suspension will not affect BP's current contracts or leases, which are crucial to the company.

One of the most versatile window covering ideas, shades cover the gamut from the basic rollers made from paper or vinyl to more hi-tech solar shades, which block out harmful UV rays and heat while letting in filtered light. Generally speaking, window shades move up and down and when lowered, cover the entire window opening. There are beautifully designed and ornate fabric shades that look more like a stationary window valance, but can be raised and lowered.

On first glance, it may not look like the sports of baseball or tennis have much in common with golf – aside from hitting a ball – but according to Palmetto Dunes' Director of Golf Instruction Doug Weaver, the sports actually do have several things in common.
After attending an Atlanta Braves baseball game recently, Weaver noticed that the way a baseball player hits the ball with the bat is not so different than the impact of a golfer hitting a ball on the PGA tour.
In imitation of baseball players, he offers these tips to keep in mind for hitting a golf ball effectively:
Weaver also says that tennis players tend to make great golfers, because tennis players develop the same muscles stroking a forehand that are required for a proper golf swing. These are the oblique muscles, the same ones used for laughing and coughing.
Says Weaver, tennis superstar Rafael Nadal emphasized building his obliques to increase his racket speed. He also notes that other tennis greats who've pursued golf include Ivan Lendl, Leyton Hewitt and Stan Smith. Golfer Jack Nicklaus was also known for playing tennis and even built a tennis court in his backyard. Weaver has seen plenty of visitors to Palmetto Dunes play one sport in the morning and the other in the afternoon.
Says Weaver, "the bottom line is you'll play better tennis if you play golf and vice versa." So we invite golfers to give tennis a try and tennis players to give golf a try. In fact, wouldn't that make a great New Year's resolution?
Here at Palmetto Dunes, we have outstanding facilities for both, making it easy to enjoy both sports on yourHilton Head vacation. Let us know if we can help you select the right golf or tennis clinic to help you get started or if we can set you up with private lessons at the Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center or with Doug Weaver at the Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy.

1918 - 2001 |
K. Brooks Abernathy (1918-2001) passed away in Austin, TX, on February 14, 2001, after a prolonged illness. He was 82. Brooks was born in Missoula, MT, on August 30, 1918, to Austin and Evelyn Abernathy. He had two older siblings, a brother Hadley and sister Carol. Shortly after his birth, the family moved to Iowa and then to Evanston, IL, where they resided for many years. In Evanston, Brooks attended
Northwestern University
where he met his wife of 58 years, Susan Carolyn Koskinen. They were married on March 7, 1942. After graduation from Northwestern in 1941, Brooks was recruited by General Electric to join their three-year business program in Bridgeport, CT. He continued to work for the General Electric Credit Corporation (now GE Capital) for 21 years. In 1962, he began a 21-year career with the Brunswick Corporation; ultimately, he became Brunswick's CEO and Chairman. He retired from the company in 1983 but continued to reside on its board of directors as well as on the boards of several other companies until the age of 70. Brooks and Susan were longtime residents of Winnetka, IL, where Brooks was a director of Evanston Hospital, a fundraiser for Northwestern University's Graduate School of Business and a Trustee at Trinity United Methodist Church in Wilmette, IL. Brooks and Susan were also philanthropic, creating professorships and scholarships at Northwestern University and The
University of Texas
at Austin. Brooks was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. He will be greatly missed and always remembered for his love and kindness. He is survived by his wife Susan; his daughters and their husbands, Lynn and Ken Stokoe of Austin, Gail and Terry Dickrell of Hudson, WA, and his son and daugher-in-law, Ken and Joanne Abernathy of Elkhorn, WI; five grandchildren, Susan Stokoe Grundman, Emily Stokoe Kiger, Andrew and Christopher Dickrell and Brook Abernathy; four great-grandchildren, as well as his brother, Hadley Abernathy of Tucson, AZ, also survive him. His parents and his sister Carol Battistelli preceded him in death. The family would like to extend its heartfelt gratitude to Brooks' caregivers for the loving care they provided him during his long illness: Lillie LaRue, Barbara Swisher, Leatha Carter and Mercedes Montemayor. The family also wishes to thank the staff of Westminster Manor for their care and kindness. In the spring, a memorial service for Brooks will take place at Trinity United Methodist Church in Wilmette, IL. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Alzheimer's Association National Chapter, 919 N. Michigan Ave., Suite 1100, Chicago, IL 60611-1676, 800-272-3900, or the Parkinson's Disease Foundation, Inc., 710 W. 168th Street, New York, NY 10032, 800-457-6676.

Works perfect on everything, excepts drums, or any transient instruments. Kills the sound of it. So it's useless for mastering. On vocals, synths or anything else it's perfect.
Not sure about this, really. I bought it because I initially liked the effect on busses or the mastering chain. Though, the more I use it the more I tend to leave it off after A/B-ing.
It certainly does give wideness and a sort of depth perception, but it also changes a carefully crafted mix to a degree that I'm not sure I can tolerate: Transients and impulses on drums etc. seem to suffer from the typical stereo widener-effects. While this plug may initially seem wonderful, it just does the typical ms-delay on a stereo source like most others, albeit in a more sophisticated way. I might use this for sound design and fx, but not for a traditional music master that's elaborately done. This is too expansive for what it claims. Sorry, Katz.
When I was in college (20 years ago), I attended a lecture with engineer Francis Buckley, who said that he has never and would never run a signal through a piece of gear which processed a signal in a way he couldn't easily explain to someone or at least that he understood completely… yeah, to hell with that. While I don't know exactly what this does, I really, really like what it does (mixes get wider, clearer, more detailed and focused). It doesn't work on every mix I've done but it has brought it's fairy dust like magic to enough of them to more than justify it's cost. Very well done.
The K-Stereo is really effective in defining a master's depth and width, without compromising the weight of elements anchoring the middle and front of your mix. It is nice to be able to enhance or control the 3D effect of a mix, without any of the nasty phasing or "whole-in-the-middle" artefacts. The ambience EQ is another welcome tool, as is the separate balance control of middle and sides, making this my go-to stereo processor of the era.
I always had in mind that what if I had a tool that really
Make the image of my mix to be in its place
It's my biggest problem when I want all my ideas
To fit perfect but I didn't have anything to support that
This tool is one of its kind since I had never had results
With any of the other tools.
It will give you the inside of the mix without the use of a reverb
That's amazing .
Live it
That's what uad is all about
Innovation !
After downloading the K-Stereo and started to use it I knew immediately that this is a totally different of anything else iv tried before it just gives you that width and depth you need with such a simplicity way to work with and also sound amazing every plugin I tried before was just meeting things up and the K-Stereo just do it right with no overtones phase problems and all kind of those problems you get when you work on M/S. super recommended !!!
Like it. Subtle but expressive. The price is reasonable for this plugin. More plugins are now coming with Mid/Side processing. The K-Stereo has it as well. It's nice to be able to gently spread-out the stereo image. Do it cautiously. Too much could be undesirable.
K-Stereo is a well-known algorithm from Bob Katz.The Algorithmix sells it very expensive for the Windows platform.Some very expensive hardware gears are used K-Stereo.
as they say, "knock and open to you".UA opened this doors for us!!!
K-S is not only mastering feature,it,s a great mixing tool from snare to guitar group,for everything.Sound with a K-Stereo more detailed,more separate, and yet more connected.
Apply it in your multitrack master session on one channel(for example) and you do not lose a good center and get the "expensive" air.
I liked it, I bought K-Stereo on the second day of trial.
This is a good job UA, but competitors are not asleep. ;-)
I have always admired Bob Katz and his precise knowledge.
The K-system plug where available once for PC only from another company, I am on MAC!
So when I heard the rumors about the K-Stereo, I hoped it did what it promised.
I did much more!
I have now used it in every Mastering project since it arrived, it is in my default setup.
Completely amazing....
A must have!
Just bought it ! The song i'm mixing has linear programmed beats and up the middle vocals. panning and reverb aside it still sounded dense and narrow. Simply putting the K -stereo on the master fader more than did the trick. In fact I have always struggled to get my mixes More 3D, wider, deeper etc. Rock, Pop or whatever. I have used the manual style hass effect a million times. ( sample delay's this, stereo that ) But this plugin packages it all up for you with some noticeable added magic. helping to achieve that all encompassing mix. and i'm just scratching the surface, can't wait to get more familiar.
First I must say: I checked the "original" by Bob Katz/Algorithmix, which is almost the same but rather expensive.
When it comes to imaging and filling up gaps within the stereo field, I found very nice results with it. So everyone who doesn´t have other proper tools should go for it, as it´s quite easy to handle and the mid/side function is a so nice attribute.
On the the other hand I get the same or even better results by using the equipment I own anyway. A TC 3000 stereo programm (based on mid/side technique) or some short Altiverb/UAQ Lexicon 224 reverb or the combination of both (to taste) will do the same.
But for the money you can´t go so wrong ....
I was really skeptical about this plug in and what it could do. So after a few sessions with the demo I found out I could not live without it. This plug in really bring out the best in my mixes really took them to new heights. I use it on my mastering jobs this is a must plug in for any sound engineer highly recommended.
a really senseful Plug-In! It gives you the possibility to work with the space and the stereo-soundstage - and we all know that Bob Katz knows what he's doing :-)
I liked it immediately, thanks for the evaluation! Bernie, obaxe-music, austria
This is now my go to widener. My vocal tracks are almost always given some width and sparkle using this beautifully subtle plugin.
Some doublers and spatial plugin's really loose the focus for some program material, but this keeps everything front and centre, and just adds beautiful detail behind it, creating a sense of early reflections or space.
Very classy plugin that I'm finding more uses for every day.
I just used this on a acoustic guitar track and on backing vocals. Both were sounding too narrow how they were recorded.
The K-Stereo plug-in added a stereo image to it with amazing clarity and transparency while leaving the signal itself completely untouched and uncolored.
Also the phase of the mix wasn't harmed, it kept it fully mono compatible.
I already like this plug-in a lot.
Before bashing me here just do this test for yourself:
Take your best set of headphones, put just a kick in one channel and the K-Ambience on the master channel of your DAW.
If you add the ambiente effect as the manual says at 0dB on the Ambience Gaiin Knob it will add a Delay in your sound.
Now turn the Effect off and voalaaa the Kick is perfect again.
Now turn the Effect on and say: Damm what happen to the sound, just looks like there are 2 kicks running out of sync because of a small delay.
On a mastering situation this will really destroy your track. Dont take me wrong i have a lot of UAD stuff. Amperex , Manley, FATSO, harrison, all them really blew me away on the 1st try but this one is really not for me.
This little beauty is magic you dont even know its there till you bypass it!
I call it ...........SPECIAL KAY
Tested it for a while and it sounds good. I also fed it with just a 2 Sample Impulse (1st Sample +100%, 2nd Sample -100%) and what it seems to do is basically adding a number of delays. The Wide Button adds one delay somewhere around 30ms with the phase inverted on one channel -disappears in mono. The Deep button seems to add a number of delays in the same 30ms range (like a higher feedback setting) but without phase inverted channel. Well and the EQ probably affects these delays. Athough it´s a good idea to combine these functions in one plugin, I don´t think it´s worth 199$ and all the talk about "only enhancing the ambience that´s already there" is pure marketing crap in my opinion, because it clearly adds something new to the signal.
Send to a bus.
Insert Voxengo Sound Delay (free) on the bus, change to dual mono mode, set left to 10ms and right to 15ms (also try the other way around in your mix).
Insert Voxengo MSED (free) next on the bus and mute the Mid signal.
Adjust bus fader to taste.
To me this sounded better.
is widely regarded as one of the most relevant for me to work on mastering plugins. I watched for a long time and experimented with this plugin. now bought. and none of the songs from my studio is complete without a K-Stereo Ambience Recovery Plug-In! Thanks Bob Katz!) UAD thanks!) believe in YOU! Happy New Year!

MOVE Guides announced today that it has closed a $1.8 million seed funding round from Notion Capital and NEA, bringing its total funding to $2.4 million. The company's mission is to transform the $40bn employee relocation industry with a software-as-a-service platform that leads to significantly reduced costs, greater productivity and improved employee satisfaction.
MOVE Guides has grown quickly since the service was released a year ago. Clients, ranging from large multi-national firms to start-ups, have already completed thousands of employee moves with an employee satisfaction rating of 99%. MOVE Guides is headquartered in London, and the service is now available for moves to more than 80 cities on six continents.
"Since founding the company in 2011, MOVE Guides has grown from an idea to a global platform recognized across the industry," said Brynne Herbert, Founder and CEO of MOVE Guides, and herself an American expat in London. "With their experience in building great enterprise businesses like MessageLabs and Workday, Notion and NEA bring exactly the expertise that we now need to accelerate growth, and I'm excited to welcome them as investors."
In addition to Notion Capital and NEA, a number of angels also participated, including serial entrepreneur and investorSherry Coutu CBE (SV2UK), Tom Hulme(IDEO),Sean Park(Anthemis Group), Dale Murray CBE (Omega Logic) and Kevin Eyres (LinkedIn).
"The service takes advantage of three of the biggest trends in the technology industry — cloud computing, mobile and internationalisation — and meets the expectations of a new generation of employees," said Jos White, Partner at Notion Capital. "In this way, we believe they have what it takes to disrupt their industry and build a very big business."
"It takes great people to build great companies, and relocation has always been one of the most challenging—and often frustrating—aspects of the hiring process," said Patrick Chung, Partner at NEA. "We are excited to work with Brynne and the team at MOVE Guides to build on the company's tremendous momentum and capture the global market opportunity for a next-generation relocation service."
MOVE Guides was borne out of Herbert's own frustration moving internationally as an expat investment banker and founded during her MBA at London Business School. The customizable software-as-a-service platform brings together technology and service to provide a great relocation experience to both employees and companies.
"Companies are moving more and more people with constrained budgets and with an increasing focus on the employee experience," says Herbert. "This is a hard equation to balance, and MOVE Guides provides the first viable alternative to expensive relocation management company incumbents."
This year MOVE Guides won awards for "Technology Innovation in Relocation," and "Best Female Investment in the UK." Brynne Herbert also won a trifecta of industry awards for "Rising Star in Global Mobility" in the US, Asia and EMEA.

Comments about Problem Solvers Presta Valve Extender:
The idea of this thing is perfect, but the the fact that it doesn't seal well to the presta tube stem without tape, and that it doesn't have threads so you have to use a push on pump shuck makes it less than ideal. Ideally just use tubes with longer stems, in a pinch this might help.
Comments about Problem Solvers Presta Valve Extender:
I got my first flat with my Edge Carbon 29er XC Clinchers at Sycamore Canyon and noticed that my spare didn't have a long valve stem, so I stopped by Jenson to see if they had 29er tubes with a long valve stem. They didn't--heck, they didn't even know that I could use 700cc x 50+ tubes on my 29er. They suggested this though and it worked, though I was confused why I couldn't get more than 20 psi. I checked it with my hand and the tire was hard as a rock! I then realized that it was due to the extension and pulled it off and let some air out to what my hand thought was the tire pressure I liked. It doesn't leak air. I just left it on the stem and finished my ride without a problem. It works, but if I wanted something more permanent and high quality, such as if I wished to convert to tubeless with stans rim strip, I'd go for the extension made by Tufo.

The highlights of the LA Galaxy's 1-0 defeat to the New York Red Bulls are below...
HARRISON, N.J. – LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena discussed the LA Galaxy's disappointing 1-0 defeat to the New York Red Bulls.
Arena's quotes are below…
(On the goal by Tim Cahill…)
ARENA: "That's not good. That play tonight shouldn't happen. That's 90% goalkeeper ball there."
(On what is happening late in the game…)
ARENA: "You saw that goal; we had plays the other way to get a goal too…You have to make a play; they made a play, we didn't; that's the difference in the game. That game should be one point. That's a real good effort; we played pretty well for the third game in a week traveling all over the country. I'm disappointed for our players because we certainly played well enough to get out of here with a point."
(On Rafael Garcia's performance…)
ARENA: "Solid job. He did a good job for his game with extended minutes."
(On the foul by Gyasi Zardes that set up the free kick being a "rookie mistake"…)
ARENA: "Well, the referee didn't have to call it either. It was maybe not a foul, but we just have to make the play on the restart. That ball was headed in from four or five yards out. That's our goalkeeper's ball."
(On the road trip…)
ARENA: "I'm very disappointed not having a minimum of four points in the road trip even though it was a good effort from our guys. Our guys played pretty well (today) given the fact that most of them were pushed for the third game in a week. I can't argue with their effort."

UPPER MONTCLAIR, N.J.—Omar Gonzalez earned yet another call to the U.S. National Team on Thursday as he was named to Jurgen Klinsmann's 26-man roster for their upcoming training camp in Cleveland.
The camp, which begins on May 26 -- Gonzalez is likely to arrive on May 27 after LA's match with Seattle Sounders FC on the day camp opens -- will also serve as the U.S. roster for a busy five game stretch between May and June that will see Klinsmann's squad play three World Cup Qualifiers and two friendlies. The news comes as little surprise as Gonzalez seemingly locked down a starting role after starting the last three qualifiers in central defense for the U.S.
Following the LA Galaxy's training at Montclair State University, Gonzalez discussed his latest national team call.
"The national team called and it's always exciting to be able to represent your country and another opportunity for me to go in and hopefully do well, and hopefully play," said Gonzalez. "I'm taking this just like I did last time and I'm going to work hard to do anything that I can to help the team qualify for Brazil."

UPPER MONTCLAIR, N.J. –LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena has seen many of his former assistants or players take full-time head coaching gigs and the latest is New York Red Bulls boss Mike Petke.
It was Arena, who gave Petke his first of two national team appearances in 2001 while the Galaxy boss was the coach of the U.S. National Team. Arena also faced off against Petke multiple times during his coaching tenure in MLS and will take on his former player when the Galaxy meet the Red Bulls meet on Sunday.
True to his role as the standard-barer for American coaches, Arena admitted that he was pleased Petke became the head coach at Red Bull Arena.
"It's great to see some of our former players in the league in coaching positions," Arena told reporters following LA's training at Montclair State University on Friday. "Mike is basically a hometown boy, so it's great to see that the Red Bulls have one of their own coaching the team."

ALTAMAHAW — Playing it safe Friday night put Dustin Rumley in an exceedingly sound position.
Opting not to push the envelope and settling for a second-place finish in the 75-lap Late Models feature at Ace Speedway, he left the race track having effectively maintained his considerable points lead.
"We did what we wanted to do," Rumley said, "stay out of trouble and at least get a top five. I can't complain.
"I probably could've come up through there faster, but I was just trying to play it cool and make sure I didn't get in any trouble and keep my nose clean."
While Barry Beggarly led wire to wire in supplying his sixth victory of the season, it's Rumley who enters next week's 100-lap season finale holding a 36-point lead in the championship hunt.
The 22-year-old McLeansville driver has arrived at the doorstep of his second title in Ace's premier classification.
And even though it would take disaster to unseat him, Rumley understandably remains mindful of such a freak circumstance.
"It's never clinched up until the last checkered flag falls," he said. "Who knows what could happen. Twenty cars might show up next week. I could crash on the first lap or something could happen and that's it, I finish dead last, and it's over."
Rumley, in his No. 88 Chevrolet, posted the quickest qualifying performance with a lap of 15.863 seconds. He then started the main event in seventh after an inversion of the top qualifiers and quickly climbed into contention.
A chance at victory never fully materialized. But Rumley posted his seventh consecutive top-2 finish since early July, a clutch surge of consistency during the season's most critical stages.
"That's how championships are won, right there," he said. "Wins are great, but when it comers down to the wire, you've got to be consistent and stay out of trouble."
Pelham's Beggarly, meanwhile, sensed plenty of trouble brewing early in the night when his team bolted race tires on his No. 82 Chevrolet and the response was a distant sixth-place effort in qualifying.
"I was concerned," Beggarly said. "I said, 'Oh, man, we're terrible.' But my son, the crew chief, he made a few good adjustments and dialed us right in."
Beggarly worked the higher outside line to bolt past Thomas Scott's No. 8 car and lead the opening lap. He navigated two double-file restarts from there to reach Victory Lane.
Reidsville's Rodney Cook placed third among the 12-car field. Burlington's Dean Fogleman finished fourth, followed by Kernersville's Brad Kurth in fifth.
-- In the 35-lap Limited Late Models race, driving with the mindset that Friday night was a must-win situation, Boo Boo Dalton went out and delivered his eight victory of the season to set up a championship showdown in two weeks.
The win tied Dalton, the teenager from Liberty, with Haw River's Jason Payne atop the division points standings. Ace's pair of season-ending races Sept. 28 will decide who claims the title.
"I knew that if I didn't win, I was going to get farther back," Dalton said of his first victory since Aug. 3. "It feels good to be back here again. It's been a long time since we've been in Victory Lane."
Dalton was running in second position before two official laps had been completed and secured the lead, which he never relinquished, two laps later.
Payne finished as the runner-up despite an experience that had to feel like some sort of obstacle course.
The engine expired in his No. 9 Ford during pre-race practice. Robert Turner lent his No. 13 Late Models car for Payne to drive, and that required carburetor and tire changes to conform to Limited Late Models standards.
And because he entered on a streak of three straight victories, Payne started in the rear of the 15-car field. But he steadily climbed to the front and placed second, a crucially important result given the stakes.
-- In the 30-lap Modifieds race, Brian King finally found an angle around early leader Tom Buzze and rocketed away to his sixth victory in nine starts this season.
Buzze's No. 5 car spun on the 16th lap, opening the door for Gibsonville's King to pounce. He had hovered in second position for at least 10 laps.
Pfafftown's Randy Butner finished second and leads Devin Steele of Stuart, Va., by 18 points in the championship chase. Steele placed third among the 13-car field.
-- Friday night's other winners at Ace were Mocksville's A.J. Sanders (25-lap Mini Stocks) and Gibsonville's Keith Brame (20-lap X-treme Cars).
Sanders picked up his seventh Mini Stocks victory of the season while Thomasville's Michael Tucker finished second. Tucker holds a comfortable 30-point lead in the division's title pursuit.
Brame won for the 10th time this season in X-treme Cars. He leads McLeansville's Ben Walker by eight points in the championship standings.

Love this scent, I have been wearing it since 1989 and it is great for anytime. I get men and women both saying how much they love it. If a man cares about how he smells and wants that confidence knowing everyone loves this scent, get this one for sure.

Liz Claiborne for men is one of the most timeless cologne's I have ever worn. I have been wearing it since 1990 and women go crazy over this scent and my buddies like it too, and that is not easy for a guy to tell one another. You will not be sorry when you buy this one.

The Claiborne for Men fragrance is nice, but it does not smell the same as it did when I first discovered it in the early 90's. It had a stronger citrus note to it and it lasted longer when worn. It is more peppery now than citrus in my opinion. It has been so hard to find, I'm just glad you carry it!

I have been using Claiborne for men since its inception in 1989. Absolutely the best fragrance out there for men.

I always think that maybe I'm kind of a loser because I don't go out and eat as much as people think I do. Ever since I left the restaurant business – where I worked every single night of every single weekend of my life, surrounded by other cooks (which probably explains why I am a social misfit when I have to mingle with "normal" people), the idea of calling ahead to reserve a table at a busy place and making plans in advance is still pretty much a foreign concept to me.
After a recent stint making tacos with the crew at Candelaria, I realized that I missed the camaraderie of cranking out food at a rapid pace with other cooks, all working smoothly – with good humor and care, in a hectic environment. Although I have to admit that at my age that I'm not sure how many more of those kind of nights I have left in me. (The two cocktails, one Mexican beer, and two Mezcal shots probably didn't help either.)

Frans Ludeke has lamented the loss of Francois Hougaard to suspension but expressed full confidence in his replacement Jano Vermaak.
Hougaard will miss the Bulls' clash with the Blues on Saturday after being found guilty of executing a dangerous tackle on Cheetahs midfielder Robert Ebersohn at the weekend.
Hougaard is a significant loss in light of his form in the last fortnight and especially for a match against a side like the Blues, against whom he will have more time and space to operate, particularly in broken field. He showed his potency in this regard against the Cheetahs and Ludeke was deeply disappointed with his unavailability.
'He really has settled in well. Honestly we thought it would take him a little longer to get the feel for playing scrumhalf again [Hougaard was deployed mostly as a wing since his arrival at the Bulls from Western Province in late 2007] but he has really impressed,' Ludeke told keo.co.za.
'His tactical versatility is good. He likes to run and snipe but his kicking game has come on nicely, he is really improving there. He had good momentum going so it's difficult to lose him. That said Jano came here [from the Lions] because we saw a highly gifted scrumhalf who could compete for the No 9 shirt. He would start at most Super Rugby teams and that says just how good he is.'
Ludeke said he would not be prescriptive as to how Vermaak must play but explained that primarily he would have to fit into their base structures. 'From there there is freedom to express yourself,' he said. 'Jano has a different skills set to Francois. He is probably better at a field position game but we saw in his time at the Lions that he has the ability to take on the defence. He is experienced and makes good decisions under pressure. We back him to assess the match situation and make the right choices.'
Vermaak is likely to play deputy to Hougaard for the foreseeable future but that hasn't tempered his ambition for an international call-up. 'To wear the No 9 jersey for the Bulls is a massive honour and responsibility. There were big names like Joost van der Westhuizen, Fourie du Preez and Hougie [Hougaard] who wore the jersey before me, so I have big shoes to fill. I'm looking forward to it and I'm a bit nervous. I hope to become a Bok here,' he said.
Casting his vision wider to the decisive facets of play against the Blues, Ludeke said the accuracy of their tactical kicking and defence would be crucial in building pressure that forces the Blues into errors.
'They are a side who aren't afraid to attack you from deep in their territory and if your kicking game is off they will punish you from broken field,' he explained. 'It's important that we don't allow their runners the space to do their thing. The kicks must be spot on and the defensive line must be uniform and dominant. They are the type of side that is almost impossible to stop once they have momentum so we mustn't give them any.'
Meanwhile Bulls forwards coach and technical adviser Johann van Graan highlighted a more pragmatic side of the Blues as a potential threat. 'Their tactical kicking is excellent and everything doesn't just go straight up,' said Van Graan.
'They're also keen to kick along the ground via their outside backs to try and isolate their opponents and put them under pressure. Their kicking patterns are very much like that of the All Blacks. Besides, they're also a team that can run you ragged and with Ma'a Nonu and Rene Ranger present we'll have to be on our guard defensively. They can destroy you if you're not at you best.'

The annual "Special Day for Special People" at West Point Lake on Thursday drew its expected huge crowd and served as a last hurrah for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers until the government reopens.
"If you ever come one time, you will come again," said Joe Parmer of Publix, which is a major event sponsor. The grocery store provided lunch, snow cones and cotton candy.
The Special Day is in its 36th year and draws more than 900 special needs children and adults and local senior citizens to Rocky Point Beach for a day of fun. The event is geared to people who wouldn't be able to get out to the park and see the lake on their own.
The day was filled with boat, hay and trolley rides, food and entertainment, including a bounce house provided by B&E Happy Hoppers of LaGrange. Sparky the Fire Dog, Smokey the Bear and McGruff the Crime Dog also made appearances.
For a few U.S. Army Corps of Engineers rangers, it was their last day on the job until congress ends the stalemate and reopens the government. The corps began shuttering parks and day use areas on Monday, but kept the Special Day event on the calendar.
"It's such an important event, we spend four or five months planning it," Ranger Rocky Millenbine said. He is one of the rangers furloughed until further notice as of today.
Chief Ranger David Barr said six employees at the West Point Dam powerhouse and four in the visitor's center office already have been furloughed with eight more expected to be sent home today. Five people will be left in the office.
Three Creeks Campground, Crossroads Park, Pyne Road Park, Highland Marina Resort and Southern Harbor all remain open.

Today the ASPCA Equine Welfare Ambassadors issued an open letter [PDF] in response to recent developments in ongoing litigation brought by several animal welfare organizations to halt horse slaughter for human consumption in the United States. While an emergency injunction in a U.S. Court of Appeals has temporarily stalled horse slaughter plants from opening on American soil, that injunction could be lifted at any moment. The Ambassadors are calling on all animal advocates to take action to stop the inhumane slaughter industry by supporting the Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act and promoting responsible horse ownership, rescue and adoption.
The ASPCA Equine Welfare Ambassadors are respected equestrians and horse experts committed to animal welfare—and include several ASPCA Maclay National Champions and journalist and author Jill Rappaport. They are urging Congress to pass the SAFE Act to ban horse slaughter in the U.S. and transport to slaughter outside the U.S. once and for all.
As individuals who revere, care for, and work with horses, they can speak to the importance of humane treatment of these special animals. They have joined with the ASPCA in promoting and supporting the work of the robust network of horse rescue organizations across the country. Having witnessed undercover footage showing repeated cruelties in past American, government-regulated horse slaughter plants, the Ambassadors state in the letter:
We have seen the horrifying video and photo documentation from past horse slaughter plants that were on American soil and government-regulated—horse slaughter is utterly, unmistakably inhumane . . . [C]ommercial slaughter is not about providing a kind death. It's only about destroying as many horses as quickly as possible and making a fast profit.
The letter also acknowledges food safety concerns as another reason to ban horse slaughter.
It goes on to state:
For the roughly 130,000 horses that suffer at the hands of slaughter annually—a fraction of the 9 million horses in America—we have the power to take back the reins and lead at-risk horses to safety. Let's refuse to allow commercial slaughter to be a convenient way out, and instead demand responsible ownership and promote rescue and adoption, just like we do for dogs and cats.
Read the full letter here [PDF]. Then contact your Members of Congress in support of the SAFE Act.
These "world renown experts" need to read this report (as does everyone with an interest in horse slaughter). Also, everyone who is vociferous about banning slaughter needs to be opening their wallets and sending donations to the rescues and shelters that these horses wind up in to help pay for their care. Banning slaughter creates another problem -- lots of unwanted horses winding up at shelters or turned loose on public lands -- and these "experts" are part of that problem if they simply say "thou shalt not allow slaughter" and aren't contributing to resolution of the "problem" they then create. The fact the just as many US horses went to slaughter (in Mexico and Canada) when slaughter was banned as were slaughtered when it was allowed in this country should tell people something. Interesting how few people know that statistic, however. Or consider the extra shipping time the horses must endure, and the conditions they must be treated with in Mexico.
I agree in part with "cke". But, it has to be a two-fold approach. Banning horse slaughter will help the cruelty that goes along with it and preserve our dignified heritage as far as horses are concerned. They are sentient beings and sensitive enough to know and feel the fear and pain associated with the slaughter pipeline. However, the cause of all the horses going to slaughter has to be addressed. It has to be nipped in the bud. Responsible ownership is the answer. If you get a horse, be prepared to commit to its welfare all its life. It is a huge responsibility, to have a horse and most people don't know that going in, or they just think horses are a commodity. There should be more initiatives to educate, and require owners to provide funding and support for horses they own/buy/breed/sell.
SLAUGHTER is not the answer. There needs to be some sort of sanctuary for horses instead of the cruelty inflicted upon them in these slaughter houses. Humans DONT EAT HORSES so they have no business being killed here. Government needs to stop supporting these undeserving third world countries and keep our money HERE to do what we need to do to help OUR PEOPLE and ANIMALS !!!!

On your first point, we are donating to a local equine rescue and putting the word out every day to encourage others. Second, "unwanted horses" are the responsibility of their owners plain and simple. There are neglect and cruelty laws in place. I am an activist who is contributing to the resolution of the problem by adopting, donating and educating. I'll end by making the point that it's interesting how few people know about horse slaughter period. And, I have considered the transport issues and support the Safeguard American Foods Export Act.
These peoples wishes, carried to the final outcome, would result in an economy were only the wealthy could afford horses. Yet, even today, it is the poorest of the world who must rely on beasts of burden, including horses. How are those who are dependent on horses for their livelihood going to feed an animal that can no longer do the work it is needed for, then finally how are they going to dispose of the thousand pound carcass? Make slaughter humane by shortening transport distances and regulating kill methods. Please keep your brie and wine solutions to the worlds problems in your damned country club.
I am responding to the comments - Once horse slaughter for US horses has ended - rescues can go back to actually helping horses in need instead of trying to save them from slaughter. Why is it that those that support the inhumane horse slaughter system continue to ask what will happen to all the unwanted horses or basically every 'for sale' horse? When does anyone elses horse become everyone elses financial responsibility? When they decide they don't want it? If that is the case - no one would pay for garbage removal. Sure, there will be some that will dump their unwanted, but the majority will act responsibly and perhaps even faster if there is no concern of their horse ending up in the inhumane horse slaughter system. The horse slaughter system is the largest horse abuse system in the country - please contact your state Senators and Representatives and ask them to support the SAFE Act!
cke - that report contained fraudulent information http://www.forbes.com/sites/vickeryeckhoff/2013/08/08/gao-accused-of-fraud-as-horse-slaughter-plants-fight-to-open/

Okay, we admit it. Lady comes with certain limitations. She's a senior. Her limited vision and hearing make it so she can't live with cats or most other dogs. And well, she needs daily medication for her arthritis. WAIT! Don't click away quite yet. Even if you can't personally provide a home for Lady, we could really use your help in spreading the word.
Although Lady has endured a lot of suffering in her life, she adores hugs and kisses, playing tug-of-war, and—it's true—sitting in your lap! Despite her charming personality, she has been at our shelter for nearly two years. So we're asking all of our supporters to use social media to help Lady find a home for the holidays. Please share this flyer on your Facebook, Twitter, blog and other social networks. Together we can find her a home!
If you live in a teens-and-up household and are interested in adopting this sweet girl, please call our Adoption Center in New York City at (212) 876-7700, ext. 4900, or come meet this special Lady in person.
I'd like to adopted her I live in Canada hamilton Ontario you can find me on Facebook @ Desiree Tyga
I really would love to take her but my mom said we don't need another dog.so if she isn't sold by the time I'm 18 and have my own place I will adopt her!
i would love to take lady in about a year I might be able to have her
I wish i could adopt Lady but i have a dog.But i will spread the word!I'm printing 70 or more papers about Lady!
I would take lady in a heartbeat, however, I also have small dogs. She's wonderful.
Most comments on this posting absolutely break my heart. If they represent the type of people interested in helping, no wonder lady has been at a shelter for so long.
If you sincerely care about animals then spread the word. Browse the online store, donate, volunteer, see how you can help locally. Posting comments that appear to be written by six year olds about taking her in a year, when you are 18, if they can transport her, for for them to find you on Facebook.....not a great use of their time, and a huge waste of mine to have to read it when I'm looking to see if there is a status update or a automatic link to forward her details.
Although nice, commenting on all of your other pets or why you cannot take her....not helpful. Please remember these animals need homes and assistance, not just kind thoughts. This isn't about you personally so why not see what you can do to help instead of simply post information about yourself?
ASPCA, please filter these comments. They make your organization look unprofessional and your ask for help placing her seem like a joke.
Please stop posting comments about how you WISH you could take Lady. I cannot because of this and I cannot because of that. If you cannot then don't bother to comment.
