The new Nikon D800E ditches the low-pass optical filter found in the D800. The result is a camera that produces images with sharper image quality and a stronger preservation of details. But does this absence of an anti-aliasing filter impact the camera's sensor in other areas?
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.

Department of Ophthalmology Annual Report
Fiscal Year 2012
It has been another remarkable year for the Department of Ophthalmology as we continue our three-tiered mission to educate the next generation of leaders, advance science and pursue excellence in patient care. We achieved significant milestones throughout FY12 and in every sphere of our mission - from opening our new Longwood multi-specialty ambulatory care center to launching our innovative, computer surgical simulation tool, the Mass. Eye and Ear Cataract Master™. We continued to strengthen affiliate ties and, in October, created a formal clinical and research alliance with Joslin Diabetes Center. Our research efforts forged ahead marked by two significant milestones – the first combined MEE/Schepens annual research faculty retreat and the appointment of Patricia D'Amore, Ph.D., M.B.A,. FARVO to Director of Research at Schepens. We are also making significant headway in establishing our Ocular Genomics Institute (OGI) as a burgeoning center of excellence for genomics and gene therapy research; promising translational investigations are underway in the Institute and the Berman Gund Laboratory for the Study of Retinal Degenerations, and already yielding exciting results. On the administrative front, vigorous recruitment efforts resulted in six additional full-time faculty members, while a continued and robust focus on HMS Ophthalmology faculty development led to 18 new promotions and appointments.
Milestones and New Initiatives
Patricia A. D'Amore, Ph.D., M.B.A., FARVO is named Schepens Director of Research
Following an international search, Patricia D'Amore, Ph.D., M.B.A., FARVO was named Director of Research at Schepens Eye Research Institute, effective November 1, 2012. Dr. D'Amore is Professor of Ophthalmology and Pathology at Harvard Medical School (HMS), HMS Ophthalmology Vice Chair of Basic Research, and Senior Scientist and Ankeny Scholar of Retinal Molecular Biology at Schepens. As director, Dr. D'Amore will serve as the senior leader at Schepens and as a member of the Mass. Eye and Ear research leadership team, reporting to Chief and Chair, Dr. Joan Miller, and to the Schepens Board of Directors. Dr. D'Amore will also be nominated for appointment as the Charles L. Schepens Professor of Ophthalmology at HMS. Dr. D'Amore's selection follows a rigorous, eight-month effort by an HMS-appointed search committee to identify a highly accomplished academic and scientific leader who has achieved significant success in advancing the field of vision science.
Service Expansions
Mass. Eye and Ear, Longwood
• The new Mass. Eye and Ear multi-specialty ambulatory care center at 800 Huntington Ave officially opened October 31, 2012. The location will provide the Longwood/Mission Hill neighborhoods greater access to Mass. Eye and Ear's world-class physicians and surgeons, and outpatient services. The facility is expected to begin accepting patients in November. Comprehensive and subspecialty services in Retina, Cornea, Glaucoma, Eye Plastics and Uveitis will be available, and the site will be fully equipped for surgery, procedures, imaging and diagnostics. Mass. Eye and Ear will continue to provide inpatient and emergency eye trauma care at affiliated hospitals. Participating Mass. Eye and Ear faculty include: Carolyn Kloek (Medical Director), M.D., John Loewenstein, M.D., Sheila Borboli-Gerogiannis, M.D., F.A.C.S., Daniel Lefebvre, M.D., Ann-Marie Lobo, M.D., Zhonghui Katie Luo, M.D., Ph.D., David Wu, M.D., Ph.D., Lucy Shen, M.D., and Mark Bernardo, O.D. Several open houses will be held over the next few months to introduce the facility and staff to the neighboring hospital and referral community.
• Mass. Eye and Ear Retina Consultants, Stoneham
In January, Mass. Eye and Ear acquired a large retina practice at 3 Woodland Road in Stoneham where it opened a new satellite office, Retina Consultants. The new practice offers subspecialty medical and surgical care for macular degeneration, diabetic eye and all conditions associated with the retina. The new practice expands the department's reach in a suburban area and makes retina services more accessible to patients. The service is directed by Daniel Esmaili, M.D., with participation from several retina physicians, including: Dean Eliott, M.D.,Leo Kim, M.D., Ph.D.; Joan W. Miller, M.D., FARVO; and Lucy Young, M.D., Ph.D.
Mass. Eye and Ear Cataract Master™
The Mass. Eye and Ear Cataract Master™, a new and highly innovative, computer-based simulation tool designed to teach residents phacoemulsification cataract surgery, was launched in the spring and is now available to ophthalmology residency programs and the ophthalmology community worldwide. Nearly a decade in the making, the Cataract Master™ was co-developed by Harvard Medical School Residency Training Program Director, John I. Loewenstein, M.D., Bonnie An Henderson, M.D., F.A.C.S., Adam Neaman, Ph.D., and several of their colleagues. The Cataract Master ™ received an enthusiastic reception during its official debut at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) annual meeting in April 2012. Mass. Eye and Ear has licensed the English version of the program to ASCRS for worldwide distribution over the internet.
Mass. Eye and Ear and Joslin Diabetes Center Form Clinical and Research Alliance
Under the direction of Lloyd Paul Aiello, MD, PhD, Associate Chief for Longwood, this novel new partnership will provide a full array of high quality, comprehensive and subspecialty eye care to ophthalmology patients, especially to those who are at-risk for diabetes-related eye complications. Clinical offices will be co-located at One Joslin Place and Mass. Eye and Ear's new ambulatory care center at 800 Huntington Avenue. Combining the expertise and resources of these institutions will allow us to provide high quality and cost-effective care while making our services more convenient and accessible to more patients. Strengthening our research collaborations will more rapidly advance our shared goal of eradicating eye disease.
Centers of Excellence Gain Steam in FY12
We continue to expand, develop and build out the department's five disease-based Centers of Excellence in age-related macular degeneration, cornea, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and mobility and vision rehabilitation. The centers are designed to drive collaboration across the full, three-tier mission of the department – clinical care, education and research - by bringing together the exceptional expertise, talent and resources of our entire Harvard Medical School community. This disease-based approach helps to identify like-minded research going on across the department. It also builds grassroots collaboration and programs - linking ideas, resources and people in pursuit of common goals. The Centers are designed to help fuel more rapid advances in bench-to-bedside medicine so that, ultimately, we can eliminate blinding diseases in our lifetime.
In September, Bonnie Brodowski, M.B.A., Manager of Business and Program Development was hired to support the program development initiatives of each Center and the Institutes. Bonnie is working with Lloyd Paul Aiello, M.D., Ph.D., HMS Vice Chair for the Centers of Excellence, to fine tune COE strategy, goals and objectives, identify programmatic needs and resources, develop fundraising and outreach opportunities, and support COE branding and website resources.
HMS Department of Ophthalmology External Review
The Department underwent a successful HMS External Review by Visiting Committee in January, 2012. Feedback was very positive in all areas and highlighted the department's strong clinical growth and innovation, positive financial performance, key research recruits, and outstanding programs in graduate medical education. Special mention was made of efforts by Chief and Chair, Joan W. Miller, M.D., FARVO to bring together the department's uniquely diverse affiliate structure into a united whole, underscored by the unification of Mass. Eye and Ear and Schepens Eye Research Institute, as well as several important affiliate partnerships. The committee consensus is that HMS Ophthalmology is recognized now as a well-integrated department with a laudable array of programs whose success is driven by collaboration and consensus. The next review cycle will take place in approximately five years.
Mass. Eye and Ear Ophthalmology Ranking
Once again, Mass. Eye and Ear ranks as a top specialty hospital nationwide, according to the 2012-2013 U.S. News & World Report "Best Hospitals" survey. Mass. Eye and Ear Ophthalmology is listed #4 nationally, assisting MGH in attaining the #1 spot in the nation.
Mass. Eye and Ear Releases 3rd Annual Quality and Outcomes Report
In early October 2012 Mass. Eye and Ear released its 3rd Annual Quality and Outcomes Report, documenting clinical and surgical outcomes data for key Ophthalmology procedures.

New laboratories have been established at Schepens for Lotfi Merabet, O.D., Ph.D., Luk Vandenberghe, Ph.D., and Pedram Hamrah, M.D.,Ph.D.
• Completed a clinical study evaluating the efficacy of a topical combined anti-PDGF and anti-VEGF therapy in corneal angiogenesis.
• Created and validated an ocular redness continuous (0.0 – 100.0) scale using a novel, state-of-the-art computer program.
• Received a grant from the Department of Defense to conduct a multi-center clinical trial to assess the safety and efficacy of a anti-VEGF in patients who are at high-risk for graft rejection following their corneal transplant.
• Completed a study assessing the use of tear osmolarity as a new method to diagnose and monitor dry eye disease.
• Developed telomerase-immortalized corneal endothelial cell line which will provide a new tool for the in vitro study of corneal endothelial cell biology and will be made available to the NIH community.
• Determined that deficiency in Nrf2-regulated pathway is involved in the pathogenesis of Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy.
• Determined that corneal limbal fibroblasts can be differentiated into corneal epithelial cells thus serving as a novel source of corneal epithelium usually destroyed in limbal stem cell deficiency disorders.
• Demonstrated the presence of the integrin MadCAM-1 in the ocular surface vasculature and determined its role in the recruitment of corneal immune cells.
• First human implantation of an intraocular device to measure IOP by telemetry. This may resolve the inability to measure IOP in keratoprosthesis patients.
• Conducted the first large scale cataract surgery outcomes review (18,000 cases) in the UK independent sector.
• Demonstrated with live corneal imaging that unilateral corneal infections, including in herpes zoster ophthalmicus, lead to contralateral changes in corneal nerves in the unaffected eye, suggesting neuro-regulatory mechanisms between eyes.
• Demonstrated that a drug-eluting contact lens can deliver a therapeutic amount of a glaucoma medication for one month.
• Determined that devices used in PROSE treatment can be customized to accommodate any eye with keratoconus or post-LASIK ectasia regardless of disease severity.
• Performed first collagen cross-linking in Boston, an experimental treatment for keratoconus, under the auspices of an FDA-sanctioned clinical trial.
Boston Keratoprosthesis (KPro)
• In a large worldwide surveillance study, 4610 KPro implantations by 368 surgeons, there were 176 incidents (3.8%) of endophthalmitis. In contrast, in a Boston (local) series of 271 KPro cases performed from 2000-2009, only 3 cases (1.1%) of bacterial endophthalmitis occurred. New highly effective, low-cost antibiotics combinations for once-daily prophylaxis have been proposed.
• In a clinical study on alkali burns, the Boston KPro was shown to have good retention, but severe glaucoma often ruined the optic nerve. Experiments on ex vivo pig eyes and in vivo mouse eyes showed that the glaucoma was not caused by backwards diffusion of the alkali itself. Rather, it seems that easily diffusible inflammatory cytokines can reach the ganglion cell layer and cause widespread apoptosis within 24 hours. Of potential practical importance was the additional finding that infliximab (Remicade™) has a very strong protective effect, both anteriorly and posteriorly. It is thus possible that patients with severe chemical burns, when they reach an emergency room, should also have an immediate intravenous infusion of infliximab.
• Demonstrated better wound anatomy following Boston KPro surgery using larger backplates, suggesting one solution to the problem of retroprosthetic membrane formation.
• For the first time identified the mode of death of cone photoreceptor cells in an animal model of retinitis pigmentosa. This research has further identified the receptor interacting protein kinase pathway as a potential target for developing treatment for vision loss in patients with RP.
• Investigate the anti-inflammatory action of the exercise mimetic acadesine, a medication that activates AMP kinase, and showed that it suppresses ocular inflammation in an animal model of autoimmune uveitis
• Researchers from the Angiogenesis Laboratory highlighted that a commonly used strain of laboratory animals used in retinal research exhibit baseline pathology that can alter the conclusions of other studies.
• Dr. Dean Eliott received approval for a Phase I/II trial is a prospective, open-label study designed to determine the safety and tolerability of the human embryonic stem cells-derived RPE cells for sub-retinal transplantation into patients with dry AMD.
• Researchers from the Mass. Eye and Ear, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Loyola University Chicago Health Sciences Division and their collaborators have isolated an elusive human gene that causes a common form of Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA), a relatively rare but devastating form of early-onset blindness. The new LCA gene is called NMNAT1. Finding the specific gene mutated in patients with LCA is the first step towards developing sight-saving gene therapy. Eric Pierce, MD, PhD, Director of the Ocular Genomics Institute is a co-senior author on the study.
• Administration of a gene therapy vector carrying the RPE65 gene to one eye in each of 12 patients with congenital blindness due to RPE65 mutations led to improvements in retinal and visual function and proved to be a safe and stable procedure.
• Analyzed visual acuity data from three clinical trials conducted involving patients with typical retinitis pigmentosa to show that a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids appears associated with slowing visual acuity decline in retinitis pigmentosa patients on Vitamin A.
• Discovery that VEGG, which is known to cause blood vessel growth, also seems to unexpectedly bind the receptor for another growth factor known as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and prevent PDGF from binding. This suggests that VEGF may contribute to the development of proliferative vitreoretinopathy, the most common serious side-effect of retinal re-attachment surgery.
• In research conducted with Dr. Jae Hee Kang from the Channing Division of Network Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Dr. Pasquale reported that heavy consumption of caffeinated coffee is associated with an increased risk for exfoliation glaucoma or exfoliation glaucoma suspect.
• Results from the largest genetic study of glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness and vision loss worldwide, showed that two genetic variations are associated with primary open angle glaucoma, a common form of the disease. The identification of genes responsible for this disease is the first step toward the development of gene-based disease detection and treatment. Researchers included study lead author Janey Wiggs, MD, PhD, and Lou Pasquale, MD, FARVO.
• Researchers from the Mass. Eye and Ear, Brigham and Women's Hospital, and University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Mich., set out to find out how demographic and geographic risk factors are associated with ES. Their study, the "Demographic and Geographic Features of Exfoliation Glaucoma in two United States-Based Prospective Cohorts" was published in the January 2012 issue of Ophthalmology. This study confirmed established associations with age and family history and exfoliation glaucoma or exfoliation glaucoma suspect (EG/EGS), as well as provided new data on associations with gender, eye color and ancestry.
• Dr. Pasquale and colleagues described ocular injury, including glaucoma, after laser photoepilation to remove unwanted eyebrow hair. These ocular injuries occurred despite protective eyewear. The authors report that preventive measures that account for the rounded contour of the orbital rim are needed to prevent unwanted interaction between laser energy emitted from the laser probe and intraocular structures during eyebrow laser photoepilation.
• For the first time, Dr. Teresa Chen described a case of bilateral secondary angle closure glaucoma after bupropion (wellbutrin) use.
• Dr. Janey Wiggs led a group of researchers to describe an association between a common polymorphism in the p53 gene and initial paracentral vision loss in primary open angle glaucoma.
• Work from the angiogenesis laboratory investigated the protective role of the TNF inhibitor, Etanercept (Also known as Enbrel, a medication used for autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis) in an animal model of glaucoma.

An understrength Grey College were made to work hard for their 34-29 victory at Pretoria Boys High.
The hosts never gave up and had they taken their chances, might even have caused a major upset.
Grey, it must be said, were without the cream of their side – seven players were missing because of national U18 duty – and it was clear that the combination they put on the field had not played together much.
When Grey did get into gear they looked very good and scored five tries, but there was some uncharacteristic individualism and they tried to run the ball under pressure too often, running into a determined Pretoria defence.
Boys High had less of the ball, but they used it well. Their speedy winger Edgar Segole looked dangerous and scrumhalf Cobus van der Merwe put in some sniping runs.
The home side were ahead 13-12 at the break, thanks to two penalties by flyhalf Matthew Currie and a try by flanker Karl Pretorius, which was converted by Currie. Grey's first half points came via tries by lock Gerhard Olivier and fullback Wiaan Lombaard, one of which was converted by flyhalf Neil Marais.
Grey started the second half strongly. Flanker Murray Bondiso ran 35m for a good individual try and Marais slotted two penalties to put them 22-13 up and it looked like they were going to run away with it.
Currie kicked two penaltes to make it 22-19 before Grey went 27-19 up via a try by stand-in captain Nichol Linde and stretched it to 34-19 minutes later when Marais went over under the posts for a try he converted himself, on the second attempt, after the referee ruled an unfair charge by the Pretoria players.
Currie closed the gap to 34-22 with another penalty before Boys High had the last say – a try by hooker Murray Elliot – converted by Currie, and the game ended on 34-29 with the home side desperately trying to secure the win.

While this support may be enough to see them through a difficult time, sometimes a student needs more. In some cases, mental health support and services may significantly benefit the student. Psychological Services staff will consult with faculty and staff members regarding how to approach a student in distress, how to suggest counseling, and what resources are available for students.

President & CEO of the Partnership for Public Service
As Theodore Roosevelt said, some 110 years ago, "The government is us—we are the government, you and I."
We are all contributors to this great nation. We have many reasons to be proud of the men and women from every community who choose a career in public service.
Public servants at all levels of government tackle immense challenges for our country each and every day. Those challenges don't pause when budgets tighten – they become more complex. Now more than ever, government employees need our support, encouragement and appreciation for their dedication to making a difference for others.
Since 1985, the President and Congress have designated the first week of May to honor the men and women who serve our country as Federal, State, county, and local government employees. We hope you'll take full advantage of Public Service Recognition Week (May 5-11, 2013) as an occasion to celebrate the value of your agency's employees and the services they provide the American people, and to communicate that value to the broader public.
You can do several things to participate, even with limited resources and time. Some suggestions include:

Chest X-ray facts
What is a chest X-ray?
A chest X-ray is a radiology test that involves exposing the chest briefly to radiation to produce an image of the chest and the internal organs of the chest. An X-ray film is positioned against the body opposite the camera, which sends out a very small dose of a radiation beam. As the radiation penetrates the body, it is absorbed in varying amounts by different body tissues depending on the tissue's composition of air, water, blood, bone, or muscle. Bones, for example, absorb much of the X-ray radiation while lung tissue (which is filled with mostly air) absorbs very little, allowing most of the X-ray beam to pass through the lung.
What is a shadow on a chest X-ray?
Due to the differences in their composition (and, therefore, varying degrees of penetration of the X-ray beam), the lungs, heart, aorta, and bones of the chest each can be distinctly visualized on the chest X-ray. The X-ray film records these differences to produce an image of body tissue structures and these are shadows seen on the X-ray. The white shadows on chest X-ray represent more dense or solid tissues, such as bone or heart, and the darker shadows on the chest X-ray represent air filled tissues, such as lungs.

Eighteen-year-old David Cole Withrow, honor student at
He also knew that having a gun on school grounds was illegal. He faced an important decision: Should he keep his mouth shut, or should he ask for permission to leave campus to take the shotgun home?
According to Kim Boykin, a family friend who spoke with WRAL, an administrator reported the weapon to police. Cole ended up being arrested for bringing a weapon onto school grounds, a felony that can carry a jail sentence of three to 13 months.
Despite early reports that Cole would not be allowed to graduate this year,
However, Cole will not be allowed to graduate with his classmates at Princeton High. Instead, he will finish the year at an alternative school.
In a way, school officials are trapped.
"The law is very clear when a person knowingly and willingly brings a weapon onto educational property,"
Frank Wood, Cole's attorney, contends Cole's situation does not fit the definition of the crime. According to an article by Derek Quizon in the Smithfield Herald, Wood said Withrow did not "knowingly and willingly" bring the gun on campus. He simply forgot he had left it in his truck. Even then, the shotgun was not loaded, Wood said.
"I don't think you'd find anyone who'd say my client knowingly and willingly brought a gun to campus," Wood said.
But school administrators, both at the school and county level, cannot make that legal determination. They enforced a law that has no wiggle room. Cole had possession of a gun on school property, he acknowledged that fact, and the rest had to play out the way it did.
Now the court system will have to decide if Cole is guilty of "knowingly and willingly" bringing a gun on campus. Unfortunately for Cole, the wheels of justice grind notoriously slow.
That a law governing young people offers no flexibility bothers me. The purpose of the law is to ensure the safety of students. Surely in this case, no one was in danger. No one has remotely suggested Cole was a threat. In fact, his fellow students and community rallied behind him in what they see as a gross miscarriage of justice.
When I was at Farmville Central, a young man was suspended when his truck did not pass the dog sniffing test. Officers found shotgun shells in his car – not a shotgun, just the shells. This incident occurred during hunting season. I felt then, and still feel now, the punishment was unjust.
I can only wonder how Cole regards the price he is paying for his truthfulness. Had he just kept his mouth shut and finished the school day, no one would have known about the gun. His attempt to be punctiliously honest has cost him.
I understand he is being punished for "knowingly and willingly" bringing a weapon on a school campus, but the practical impact is Cole was punished for his integrity.
The General Assembly needs to examine this law and build in an allowance for discretion. Young people do forget. Kids should not face expulsion and criminal charges when they lack intent to do wrong.
In Cole's case, when he realized his wrong, he attempted to do right.

South Sudan leader: Do not ask me about ties with Israel
Southern Sudan's president, Salva Kiir Mayardit on Thursday denied the existence of relations between the south and Israel. Quoted by Asharq alawsat newspaper, Salva Kiir said: "The rumors are not true," adding, "Do not ask me about this."
Sources familiar with a closed meeting held Wednesday between Kiir and the Secretary General of the Arab League, Amr Moussa, in Juba, said the issue of relations with Israel was raised during the talks. They conveyed that the head of the southern government denied these reports, saying he well understood the sensitivity of this issue to the Arab side.
The sources said that "Salva Kiir requested to open an office of the Arab League in Juba."
The sources pointed out that during the meeting Moussa asked Salva Kiir: "We know you have a large number of titles, soon you may have one title... Do you want after the referendum many titles or just one title - Head of State ?."
Salva Kiir replied: "After investigating the caps that I wear I found that the people of the south wear such as hats .. they ill decide."

I think it is in the interest of America, UK and Israel , to stop terrorism in Africa. This terrorism is Middle-East funded. Arab league has to accept the current borders of Umma. Otherwise other states will be separated as well,e.g. Nigeria. America and Uk like division of states, Israel wants a strong friend south of Arab world. Offcourse they will send weapons to their friends. And friends in peace are also friends at wartime. In the next arab-Israeli war the danger for the Arab world will also come from the south! South Sudan will become a stronghold for anti-Islam states. It' s influence will be dramatic! This is a turning point in world-history. Wars will inevitably follow, as always.
Why are the arabs so nervous about Israel? Secondly Israel is not something invisible, they are staying next door with arabs why don't they face the Israelis and settle their problems rather than trying to look for scape goats some where who are having their own problems. Please, please, please leave us alone. Southern Sudan is neither Gaza nor Ramallah, it is also not in the middle east to be questioned about Israelis activities. We are talking about South Sudan here and not talking about Palestine. I don't understand why grown ups like Amri Musa don't accept truth but act like kids, did musa not see the Israeli embassy in his backyard in Egypt or what is he looking for? He must stop bothering Kiir with such stupid questions, Mubarak knows well what the Israelis are doing let him go and question him.....TIME.
there is nothing to settle with israel. Israel is an outpost serving the wests interest and its own using the old divide and conquer methods.
israels aim is to weaken all islamic governments. Israel doesn't want peace, it wants conquests and financial gain. israel is nothing more than britains and americas main army base.
If there is one christian in a muslim country, then he must become independent by referendum immediately, but millions of palestinians, afghans and iraqis and pakistani must live
under occupation forever in their own countries where they are the majority.
islamic Indonesia has given independence to east timor, sudan is organizing a referendum in south sudan. but what about the muslims in palestine, don't they deserve a referendum after decades of oppression, torture and aggression?

Top 10 Franchises
David Coba
David ProkupekKirk McGaryBrian GrossRon LynchDarin KraetschSteve RosenShelly SunJames UebelherDennis Jarrett
European Wax Center
Hallandale, Fla.
No. 82
2010 Revenue: $5.8 million
Three-Year Growth: 2,924%
European Wax Center is a family-run franchise operation with locations in over a dozen states. David Coba, the company's CEO says he and his siblings work together as "three extensions of one mind" and each have specific responsibilities that capitalize on their individual strengths and interests. "Building our company is not about opening many locations," he says. "It's about nurturing and developing a team who believes in our morals, our values, and our lifestyle of good business."
No. 99
2010 Revenue: $39.4 million
Three-Year Growth: 2,673%
Smashburger was funded with $15 million from the private equity and concept development firm Consumer Capital Partners, and now has about 100 locations just a few years later. "From the start, we built our business on three simple principles: Be great for the consumer; Be simple to operate; and Create an industry leading business model," says Dave Prokupek, Smashburger's chairmen and CEO. "These three principles have allowed us to attract a loyal consumer following and top tier multi-unit franchisees."
Real Property Management
Layton, Utah
No. 257
2010 Revenue: $11.4 million
Three-Year Growth: 1,252%
Real Property Management, like its name implies, offers full-service property management services for houses and apartment complexes around the country. "Investors are seeing the undervalued inventory on the market and recognize that buy-and-hold strategies are going to dominate while the assets appreciate," says Kirk McGary, the company's CEO. "At the same time, more Millennials are shying away from home ownership—they are part of a more mobile workforce who views a mortgage as more of a burden that restricts their freedom. These two factors have pushed the demand for professional property management services higher than ever, and the long-term outlook continues to favor a long-term rental strategy."
Bach To Rock
Bethesda, Md.
No. 332
2010 Revenue: $3.3 million
Three-Year Growth: 1,000%
No, it's not School of Rock, but it sure does look like it. Bach to Rock provides kids with music education—but from bands they actually listen to. "You really have to be committed to the success of others and don't underestimate the amount of complexity, work and legal hurdles you'll need to overcome to franchise your concept," says Brian Gross, president of the company. "At the end of the day, your success is now determined by how well others do delivering your concept (and to that point, it may have been based on how well you did with it)."
Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery
Tempe, Ariz.
No. 385
2010 Revenue: $8.0 million
Three-Year Growth: 892%
"We're different, a little tilted," says Ron Lynch, founder of the Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery. "We purposefully try to differentiate ourselves in the marketplace." Lynch founded the business in 2003, which has grown into a mini empire of pubs throughout nearly 20 states. Lynch's advice to franchisors? "Seek to be different, don't copy anyone and the consumer will reward you for being unique."

The latest from the BUAV's Chief Executive...
There has been a buzz in the BUAV office this week with news from Europe that Mr Tonio Borg, the candidate under consideration for the position of Commissioner, whose responsibilities include overseeing the implementation of the marketing ban, has stated that he supports the need for the Cosmetics Directive marketing ban to come into force in March 2013.
The BUAV, together with our colleagues in the ECEAE, worked tirelessly for many years to achieve the ban on the use of animals in cosmetics testing in the EU. More recently, our call with our No Cruel Cosmetics campaign, has been for the marketing ban (that will prevent the import and sale of animal tested cosmetics in the EU), to come into full effect as planned in 2013. Mr Borg's statement is, therefore, a welcome step in the right direction to ensure that the EU sticks to its pre-agreed deadline for the Cosmetics Directive thereby saving many thousands of animals from suffering and dying for the sake of beauty.
Our exposé of the slaughter of hundreds of monkeys at the Noveprim primate breeding farm in Mauritius has been widely reported by the media, especially in the UK and Mauritius. The callous disregard of monkeys, including pregnant females and youngsters, who no longer serve a commercial purpose is shocking. I hope you will join us in supporting our call for an end to the slaughter of monkeys in Mauritius. Please sign our global petition urging the Mauritius Prime Minister to ban the breeding and export of primates for research. Thank you to everyone who has signed so far.
You can follow the BUAV Sov Nou Zako (Save our Monkeys Mauritius) campaign on Twitter and Facebook.
Finally, an Early Day Motion has been tabled on behalf of the BUAV to call on the Government for greater transparency on animal experiments. A recent opinion poll showed low levels of public confidence in the regulatory system of animal experiments. The BUAV has been calling for greater transparency for many years as we believe the public has a right to know what is being done to animals in UK laboratories and why. Please ask your MP to sign EDM 716.
Until next time……

SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Elon University came to upstate South Carolina looking for its longest men's basketball win streak since joining Division I 14 years ago.
Instead of celebration, the Phoenix will spend today in contemplation.
A Wofford team which features 12 freshmen and sophomores took control early in the second half and rolled to a 60-50 upset of Elon at Benjamin Johnson Arena.
Elon (15-8 overall, 8-3 Southern Conference) saw its seven-game win streak come to an end. The Phoenix return to action 20 miles down I-85 on Saturday at Furman.
Junior forwards Ryley Beaumont and Sebastian Koch repeatedly hammered home one key point afterward: toughness, or lack thereof, cost Elon dearly.
"The difference in the game wasn't Xs and Os, it was doing what you had to do personally through every possession," Beaumont said. "That's what we referenced. It's toughness. It's not chucking people, it's not dirty plays, it's doing what you have to do to get the job done. And we didn't do enough of it."
Wofford improved to 9-15, 3-8. The Terriers entered the game in last place in the league's South Division and took only their second victory in their last eight games.
"Hats off to our guys," Wofford coach Mike Young said. "They handled it with aplomb. They were responsible and accountable, and they took care of each other when we were in key situations."
Elon's 50 points was a season-low. The previous low was 54 in losses to College of Charleston and Duke.
The Phoenix entered averaging 70.4 points per game in conference play.
"I felt like Wofford was more aggressive," Elon coach Matt Matheny said. "As a result, they made it very difficult for us to get clean looks offensively, and they guarded us very well. And then defensively, we had some good stretches, but when you're struggling to get clean looks offensively and you have long scoring droughts, every shot that they made seemed a little bit like a dagger."
Elon held a 22-21 halftime lead following an uneven first 20 minutes.
The Phoenix jumped to an early 7-2 lead, but struggled to make shots against intense Wofford defense.
Forward Lucas Troutman, who entered as Elon's leading scorer at 16 points per game, scored four points but sat the final 11-plus minutes after picking up a pair of fouls. Matheny said his early absence kept Elon from finding a rhythm.
Wofford led 18-13 with just more than four minutes to play. Back-to-back 3-pointers from Beaumont and Jack Isenbarger gave the Phoenix a 19-18 edge with 3:36 left.
Wofford came out alive in the second half. With the score tied at 25-25, the Terriers reeled off an 8-2 run that forced Matheny to whistle an angry timeout. Wofford won a scramble that led to Spencer Collins' fastbreak slam and 33-27 edge.
Elon drew within 35-33 on Beaumont's putback with 12 minutes to play. However, the Phoenix's offense stagnated from there. Beaumont scored eight points during the next 7:45, but he was the only Elon player to score from the field in that span.
"We couldn't get multiple scoring trips," Matheny said. "We couldn't get on an offensive run. Again, the credit goes to their defense. We couldn't put stops with scores, and stop, score, stop, score. And that's a simplistic way to look at it, but we couldn't get on a scoring run to climb back into it."
With four minutes left, Wofford led 50-40.
Beaumont's 17 points and seven rebounds led Elon. Koch added 12 points and Troutman finished with 10. Collins led Wofford with 16.
"They're a physical team and it messed with our emotions somewhat, but we have to work on cutting through a physical defense like they are and not letting it make our offense stale," Beaumont said.
Koch said Wofford simply scrapped harder.
"Overall they just played harder than us, out-toughed us," he said. "They got a lot of loose balls that we should get, and the balls that went on the floor, they were down the floor before us. Simple things that we need to work on and get better at than that."

So pretty
Loved the tags! they look better than the pictures and the paper quality was elegant. A nice addition to my range of "Floral watercolor" invites..
simple to design, quick turnaround, and cheaper than DIY tags!
We printed a poem on the tags to go with our favor (candy coated almonds). We were able to personalize the tag in the colors of the wedding. High quality. Much cheaper and easier than purchasing Avery tags from Staples and printing on my own computer. I highly recommend these. Also, the tags arrived within a week, so the turnaround was very quick.
Magnet street is great! I've used it for multiple products for my wedding and I have been more than pleased every time.
With my wedding it was important to me that I was able to reflect my fiancé and my personality through our save the dates, favor tags, etc. Magnet Street did not let me down. They are very flexible in allowing you to customize their premade templates. I was beyond ecstatic with my save the dates and received tons of compliments. When I was in need of another wedding piece design I didn't have a question as to where I needed to go. I was able to create favor tags in minutes and when they arrived I was dancing with how perfect they were. The products are well priced and presented in a fine quality. When both products arrived they were packaged with such detail. Ill definitely use magnet street again and I've already recommended them to friends!

30 Years Ago: Judas Priest Fans Cause $250,000 Damage to Madison Square Garden
Talk about breaking the law. On June 18, 1984, Judas Priest got themselves barred from performing at Madison Square Garden after a rambunctious crowd peppered a pre-show announcer with all manner of objects then proceeded to rip out $250,000 worth of seating. The ban is still in effect.
"Very metal," frontman Rob Halford quipped in a recent talk with Loudwire (embedded above). "The horrible thing is that if we did play Madison Square Garden, there would be some enthusiast who was there from the original riot with his pen knife out. It would start all over again! So, it's probably best."
Things got off to a bad start, even before Priest's highly anticipated performance as part of its 1984 'Defenders of the Faith' tour, when local radio disc jockey Perry Stone was sent out to share a series of upcoming events at the Garden. Unfortunately, that list featured some distinctly un-metal acts, including Neil Diamond and Helen Reddy, among others.
"Naturally, the crowd of 20,000-plus booed me when I introduced myself," Perry later recalled. "But began to get truly unruly when I read that list of uncool acts." A frustrated Perry hurled some epithets back, and the first signs of trouble were literally everywhere. "The crowd," he said, "proceeded to throw firecrackers, M-80s, Cherry Bombs and assorted beer bottles at me."
An often-tumultuous 20-song set went on anyway, one that culminated in two muscular encores, but xploding fireworks from the crowd can actually be heard in bootlegs during the show. The problems didn't stop there, either, as eventually "chairs started flying around, New York's finest arrived and many were carted off in various patty wagons," added Perry, who was also banned for life. Judas Priest was forced to underwrite the massive repairs.
Photographer Bob Leafe was at the show, and hired "on the spot" by the venue to take pictures of the damage (which you can see here). "Afterwards, Priest had a party at the Limelight," he remembers. "When I finally walked in, Kenny (guitarist K.K. Downing), who had seen me half-buried by cushions in the pit, yelled out, 'you've survived!'"
"There's actually quite a funny ending to that," longtime Priest guitarist Glenn Tipton told Loudwire. "Me and [former Priest member] Ken ["K.K." Downing] went there to watch [John] McEnroe play tennis in some indoor tennis championship. We went in hoodies, because we had been banned from Madison Square. Halfway through the tennis match, one of the ushers came down and he went, 'Thanks for the new seats.'"
Halford added: "They wouldn't have had new seats without Priest."

text: Duct heaters are engineered for reliability and safety, specifically designed to not exceed safe operating temperatures while boosting temperatures from any forced air system. These heaters are an economical means to provide a supplemental heating / cooling system for hot or cold rooms and additions without having to upgrade the existing central air system. They may also serve as primary, auxiliary, space, reheating or multi-zone heating, as well as being an excellent option for humidity control and variable air volume heating.We offer a large selection of inline duct heaters or "HotPods", most of which, install directly into existing duct work and are usually used to heat a specific room or area, giving the homeowner complete control of the temperature. Heat a room by energizing the 1000 W ( 6" ) or the 1440W ( 8" ) element with an internal fan that supplements existing heated air and cool a room using the internal fan to deliver conditioned air from the main duct work or other conditioned areas until the desired temperature is reached. A ready-pack self contained system includes everything you would need to install your HotPod and functions exactly the same as a non-self contained system without having to install into the existing duct work. A "Silent Boot" can also be added during installation, giving the homeowner a premium, noise reduced duct system. Larger models are also available for heating bigger or commercial spaces and are available as a ready pack.Fresh air make up units can also be used and installed into existing systems or duct work for fresh air intake.
