Oxygen Biotherapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: OXBT), a development stage biomedical company focused on developing oxygen-carrying intravenous and topical products, today announced financial results for the three and nine month periods ending January 31, 2013.
Third Quarter 2013 Financial Snapshot
- Cash and cash equivalents were $0.8 million at January 31, 2013.
- Net product sales from Dermacyte ® were $2,900 for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $4,700 for the three months ended January 31, 2012.
- Revenue earned under our U.S. Army research grant increased to $221,051 for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $146,101 for the three months ended January 31, 2012.
- Net loss from operations decreased 16% for the third quarter of 2013 to $1.6 million compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended January 31, 2012.
- Net cash used for operating activities decreased to $700,000 for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended January 31, 2012.
"Activities during our most recent quarter related to three primary and time consuming achievements needed to resume our Phase IIb traumatic brain injury studies abroad, to further our preclinical studies designed to elaborate the safety profile of Oxycyte, our leading drug candidate, and capital raising activities that resulted in securing enough cash to finance activities to help us achieve the next major milestones necessary to drive our company forward, " said Michael Jebsen, Interim Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and President.
Oxygen Biotherapeutics reported net revenue of $222,388 and $1,009,356 for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012, respectively compared to $148,262 and $268,294 for the same periods in the comparable periods in fiscal 2012. This increase is primarily due to government grant revenue earned under the U.S. Army-funded grant awarded to the company in June 2011 to conduct preclinical studies for Oxycyte® perfluorocarbon (PFC) emulsion.

Documentary Tells Story of Self-Taught Astronomers Whose Inventions Changed the World Distributed via American Public Television
From Dan Handley Science Media, LLC, American Public Television begins distributing UNDAUNTED: The Forgotten Giants of the Allegheny Observatory, a one-hour documentary that tells the inspirational stories of determined scientists whose discoveries helped pioneer early aviation, solar research, and the founding of astrophysics.
Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) May 02, 2013
UNDAUNTED: The Forgotten Giants of the Allegheny Observatory is a one-hour documentary that tells the surprising stories of the people behind the birth of astrophysics and the invention of flight. The film is presented through WQED Pittsburgh and exclusively distributed to the over 360 independent and public television stations in the U.S. via American Public Television (http://www.APTonline.org) beginning May 19, 2013 via APT's show catalog.
Although largely being a self-taught scientist, Samuel Pierpont Langley´s work not only led to the establishment of a nationwide system of time zones, he also pioneered solar research, established the discipline of astrophysics, and created the first unmanned mechanical flying machine years before the Wright brothers. Langley´s major accomplishments have been honored through the many places and things named after him: the NASA Langley Research Center, Langley Air Force Base, U.S.S. Langley, and the "langley" unit of solar irradiance, among others.
With only a grade school education, steelworker John Brashear was so inspired to understand the heavens that he taught himself college-level mathematics, physics, and astronomy. Despite poverty and many devastating setbacks, he went on to become one of the best scientific instrument engineers in the world–including creating the experimental optics central to establishing acceptance of Einstein´s theory of special relativity. "Uncle John," by which he became affectionately known, became a world-famous promoter of science education, highly respected community leader, and valued friend of Andrew Carnegie and other wealthy industrialists.
The film is not only informative, but the stories in it clearly demonstrate the value of hard work and steadfast perseverance despite repeated failure in the quest to learn, discover, and invent. The film serves as an important lesson from the 19th century that is even more relevant today as America tries to maintain its innovative and economic competitiveness.
UNDAUNTED is narrated by accomplished film, television, and stage actor David Conrad (Ghost Whisperer, Wedding Crashers, Men of Honor, Boston Public, The Good Wife, CSI Miami). It also features an interview with astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson of the American Museum of Natural History and Dr. Tom Crouch, Senior Curator at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.
About the filmmaker: Dr. Dan Handley is a biomedical research scientist committed to promoting science and science literacy – so much so that he decided to step out of the lab to get behind the movie camera. His technical education includes Johns Hopkins University, Biophysics, B.A., Carnegie Mellon University, Logic and Computation, M.S., and University of Pittsburgh, Human Genetics, Ph.D.
The film was made possible with support from the following institutions:

After fifteen years in the electronics industry, I still don't undertstand why people expect OEMs like NVIDIA to support products sold by other vendors. Meh. OEMs don't provide end-user customer support. You must contact the manufacturer of the product you bought.
Because you get use to getting drivers from the source. If you buy a Nvidia card from eVGA and you want the latest drivers made. You go to eVGA and look and there it is, a driver set that is a month older than your card. You snatch it up and install it in your system and you see you still have a problem.
Then you see that Nvidia has the latest latest driver that's not a 66 version but a 72 version. Holy cow that's gotta fix you problem. You hear how other people have fixed this problem or that problem on various websites just by installing this Beta driver whatever.
Then of course there's this fact that Nvidia doesn't put out a FAQ explaining laptops are a special situation. That requires direct manufacturer support. And when the Manufacture says we're waiting for another driver from Nvidia and it doesn't come. Well where do you need to look?
All you see when you try to install the driver for your laptop with one from the nvidia site is. 'This driver is not designed to work with your video card....' It kind of makes you go Hmmm did they just make the Go chip and are now not going to support it? Blah blah blah.
If 'You' understand where and how these drivers come about. Did you get that info from your general experience with computers Like any user would or did you get it from exposure to more technical experiences etc?
I can't tell you how many times I've heard techno-geeks say yeah well all you have to do is this and this.. install the latest block driver interface yadah yadah... like it should be plain and simple as breathing air.
A user is told. Well if this isn't working for you, your machine is unstable etc. Get the latest driver and see if that fixes it. This is of course a user not a techno-geek. They think ok well the latest driver is April 2004 and it's January 2006.. crap maybe I can get something from the chip maker. It's got an nvidia chip, there's a sticker right on the computer that says so.
Deride me all you like for looking to NVidia to fix my problem. I'm a little more savvy computerwise than the average computer user. So I know when something isn't working generally where to look first. But in the end. NVidia did provide the fix for my problem. I just needed a tweaked .inf file to make it install right.
So I ask you ricercar, why couldn't NVidia have said go ask folks at NVnews, go look at
, sent back even 1 email reply to my question?
No I don't go to 3M to complain about Scotchguard. Generally because 3M isn't going to come out with a driver I can install to fix the functionality of the product
I would go to Phillips however if I found 1000 units had a chip made by them failed and ask if they have a newer chip to fix it.
Again I thank the patrons of this site. I wouldn't have learned any of this if it wasn't for you and me finding the place and asking the question.
Happy New year

National League Preview from The Sports Network
Sunday, May 19th (All times Eastern)
Cincinnati Reds (26-17) at Philadelphia Phillies (20-23), 1:35 p.m.
Probable Starting Pitchers: Cincinnati - Homer Bailey (2-3, 3.51) Philadelphia - Jonathan Pettibone (3-0, 3.41)
(Sports Network) - Homer Bailey was masterful in his most recent outing and had one of the best performances of his career last month against the Philadelphia Phillies.
On Sunday, the right-hander takes aim at winning back-to-back starts for the first time since last season when the Reds conclude a three-game set in Philadelphia.
Bailey had 10 strikeouts against no walks in a complete-game win at Miami on Tuesday. On April 16 against the Phillies, he had similar strikeout-walk numbers and gave up two hits in eight solid innings of a no-decision. He's yet to beat the Phils, going 0-3 with a 4.24 ERA in seven games.
Rookie Jonathan Pettibone counters for the Phillies. He's yet to taste defeat at the major league level. The righty makes his sixth career start and is coming off a win Tuesday against Cleveland. In that game, Pettibone allowed four hits and a pair of runs over 6 2/3 innings.
Yesterday, Bronson Arroyo tossed 7 2/3 scoreless innings and struck out six as the Cincinnati Reds blanked the Phillies, 10-0.
The Reds put up a three-spot in the second inning to provide a cushion for Arroyo (4-4), who yielded just five hits while issuing two walks. Following consecutive singles by Todd Frazier and Donald Lutz, each of whom had two hits and an RBI, catcher Ryan Hanigan delivered a no-doubter to left field for his first home run of the season.
Joey Votto went 4-for-4 with a homer and drew two walks in six trips to the plate for Cincinnati, which won for the 11th time in 14 contests.
Kyle Kendrick (4-2), who had gone at least six innings while allowing two runs or less in seven straight starts, was tagged for four runs on eight hits over six innings to absorb the loss. The Reds put six more runs across the plate against Phillies relievers.
"You have got to stay together and keep plugging at it, you have got to grind it out," Philadelphia manager Charlie Manuel said. "That's actually how you build heart and strength about your team. That's actually how you become a team."
The Reds swept three games from the Phillies in Cincinnati in April, while Philadelphia won four of seven games between the teams in 2012.

This is an port of the popular HTTPS Everywhere extension for Firefox, created by EFF and the Tor Project. It automatically switches thousands of sites from insecure "http" to secure "https". It will protect you against many forms of surveillance and account hijacking, and some forms of censorship.
Source code and bug tracker are available at https://github.com/efforg/https-everywhere. **Please do not submit bug reports in the reviews!** (I can't respond to them there.)
Changelog: https://www.eff.org/files/Changelog.txt
If HTTPS Everywhere causes a site to look weird or break, you can disable it for that site using the button in the address bar in the top right of your screen. HTTPS Everywhere for Chrome is currently in beta, and a few such issues are inevitable due to bugs in websites' HTTPS support. Also watch for a "shield" button in the address bar, which means that Chrome blocked insecure portions of the page. Sometimes pages will look weird with their insecure portions removed. Clicking on the shield will let you load them, but will reduce your security and privacy.
Special thanks to Aaron Swartz, Mike Perry, Jay Weisskopf, Nick Semenkovich, Jacob Hoffman-Andrews, Yan Zhu, and Vijay P. for their work on the Chrome port.

I appreciated the sense of wonder about the universe and the very realistic and sympathetic portrayal of the challenges facing women in science. Hopefully, things are improving, but much of this is still relevant. I gave this book to my niece when she was around 12.
RMB (USA: MA) (2014/02/23):This is a good novel, more detailed than the movie, and with a more satisfying ending.
This is called a "Media Tie" edition, but the only thing that makes it a tie-in is the picture of Jodie Foster and Matthew McConaughey on the cover. This is the original novel that inspired the movie, not some watered-down movie script.

An American Idol contestant who was kicked off the show after allegedly failing to disclose his arrest record has lost his $40 million defamation lawsuit against MTV, RadarOnline.com has learned.
A Tennessee judge dismissed Corey Clark's lawsuit against the network and Viacom International on May 13, under the basis that everything the companies claimed was true and Clark was wrong.
COURT DOCUMENTS: Former 'American Idol' Contestant Loses $40M Lawsuit
Clark, 33, initially filed the lawsuit in 2012 for defamation, claiming an MTV reporter repeatedly smeared his reputation by writing about his arrest for an alleged assault on his sister, using terms like "disqualified for lying about a hairy domestic dispute," "booted for concealing his arrest record on battery charges," and "booted for not disclosing his rap sheet."
Clark — who appeared on the talent show in 2003, also made headlines for an alleged affair with judge Paula Abdul — a claim he also vehemently denied in the lawsuit.

But Judge William J. Haynes, Jr. saw it otherwise and dismissed Clark's lawsuit, granting the Defendant's motion to dismiss.
"In addition to his libel claim, Plaintiff Clark alleges claims for false light invasion of privacy; commercial disparagement under the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act; misappropriation of image or likeness — right of publicity; and negligent hiring and retention," the judge's memorandum reads.
Haynes made it clear that the allegations of Clark's record were "comments upon or characterizations of published facts," and were reported by other reputable news organizations including the Boston Herald, The Tennessean and the Chicago Sun-Times.
PHOTOS: The Name Game – Celebs Who've Changed Their Names
A pending legal lawsuit against E! Entertainment and FOX still hangs in the courts from Clark over statements made about why he was booted from the show and the alleged affair with Abdul.
Clark has also banded with a group of nine other former Idol contestants in a lawsuit against the show arguing racism against African-Americans.

Earth Made of Glass
Macmillan, Mar 15, 1999 - Fiction - 416 pages
Welcome to the Thousand Cultures--in which humanity's hundreds of settled worlds are finally coming back together, via the recently invented technology of instantaneous travel. And in which Giraut and Margaret work as professional diplomats, helping to finesse the stresses and strains of so much abrupt new contact among wildly diverse cultures.
Now, however, their task is to bring in the terrifyingly hostile world of Briand, a planet of broiling acid oceans whose only habitable portions are Greenland-sized subcontinents that project out of the abyssal heat of the planetary surface into it stratosphere.
But Briand's physical hostility is nothing compared to the venom its two human cultures bear toward one another. Into this terrible world come Giraut and Margaret to try to do the right thing by the Cultures, by the inhabitants of Braind, and by one another.

source of waste would be reduced or eliminated. Anaerobic digestion is another method of waste disposal and can generate electricity as a coproduct (Chapter 2). For the disposal of waste biomass, blow down of solids from production and recycling ponds, and saltwater, companies are considering landfilling waste, underground injection, and diverting processed water to sewage systems.
Solid waste from algal biofuel manufacturing processes is most likely to be generated as sludge from an anaerobic digester from which the volatile organic acids have been converted to methane and CO2; the methane is useful as a fuel supplement for the process. Anaerobic digestion in many cases is followed by aerobic digestion to convert dissolved solids to sludge, concentrated by settling in the large aerobic settlers. Such systems have been operated commercially for decades and most likely will be incorporated into algal biofuel production + concentrations of digested processes. Golueke et al. (1957) reported average NH4+ sludge in the range of 1600 to 1850 milligrams per liter for anaerobic digestion of algae, which is comparable to some of the high values reported for piggery waste (Sukias and Tanner, 2005; Sukias and Craggs, 2011). Another source of solid waste is the spent synthetic plastic liner from open ponds or closed bioreactors that will need to be disposed periodically.
According to Jim Sears (J. Sears, A2BE Carbon Capture, personal communication on September 22, 2011), who chaired the "Committee on Technical Standards" for the Algal Biomass Organization, "there are as many proposed processes for producing algal biofuels as there are companies." Thus, whether generation of waste products would be a concern cannot be known until operations at commercial scale are in place and compositions can be ascertained. Maximizing recycling would reduce the need for waste product disposal.
5.9.2 Opportunities for Mitigation
Recycling of nutrients is the obvious mitigation for waste generation. Algenol, an algal biofuel company, plans to recycle seawater waste for cultivation (less than 6 liters of seawater waste per liter of ethanol is produced if photobioreactors last greater than 6 years).
If digested sludge is produced, municipal waste treatment plants usually spread the nutrient-rich waste on designated land, with the benefit of conditioning and nourishing the soil. Algal fuel process sludge from wastewater treatment is not expected to be significantly different. The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permitting process governs discharge of sludge; most states have a permitting process under this federal program. The composition of the sludge is monitored to ensure compliance with the permit.
5.9.3 Sustainability Indicators
Many sustainability indicators relevant to waste are described elsewhere, for example, quantifying recycling of nutrients and salinity of ground water. If saline wastewater is injected to groundwater, then sustainability indicators also could include annual volume injected per volume of reservoir per year.
5.9.4 Information and Data Gaps
Information is needed about the types and rate of waste generation for most algal biofuel production processes. When and if processes move toward commercialization, state and local regulations will govern the acceptable disposal of waste, which will necessarily be well characterized by then.

Gholson: Opener an honor for former cellar dwellers
Darrell Royal once compared TCU to a cockroach.
"It's not so much what he gets into and carries away but what he falls into and messes up," the Texas coach said after the Horned Frogs upset his No. 1 Longhorns 7-6 back in 1961.
So in Royal's final eight seasons as a coach, his teams exterminated the cockroaches by a combined score of 379-48.
During that same time up in the Pacific Northwest, Oregon State began a string of losing seasons that lasted 28 long years.
From 1971 through 1998, the Beavers were 65-239-6.
I consider Joe Avezzano a really good football coach, but the former Dallas Cowboys assistant went 0-11, 1-10, 1-9-1, 2-8-1 and 2-9 as the Oregon State head coach from 1980 through 1984.
There was a lot of bad football being played in Fort Worth, Texas, and Corvallis, Ore., back then.
But all that has changed.
Mike Riley has coached Oregon State to six winning seasons in the last seven years. The Beavers were 36-17 the last four seasons, went to four bowls and won three of them.
Gary Patterson is 85-27 in his nine years as the TCU head coach. Last year's Frogs went 12-1 and played in a BCS bowl for the first time.
Because of all that success, TCU and Oregon State were chosen to help kick off the 2010 college football season on Labor Day weekend in Cowboys Stadium.
To understand what an honor that is to both programs, you need to measure the seating capacity of the stadiums these two teams call home.
TCU's Amon Carter Stadium seats 44,358.
OSU's Resser Stadium seats 45,674.
That adds up to 90,032.
Cowboys Stadium, which will also host the Super Bowl five months from now, has a maximum capacity of 110,000.
But in this case, size really doesn't matter.
The Beavers will come to Texas with a Heisman Trophy candidate running back in Jacquizz Rodgers; a Biletnikoff Award prospect in his wide receiver brother James Rodgers; a Rimington Award candidate in center Alex Linnenkohl; and a Lombard and Outland trophy candidate in defensive tackle Stephen Paea.
In a conference call this week, ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit said Oregon State has "the most under-evaluated and underappreciated head coach and college football program in the United States."
He pointed out that this Sept. 4 game will give the Beavers "a chance to show they deserve to be up there as one of the elite teams in the country."
"They have a preseason top 15 team if I were voting," Patterson said of his opening night opponent.
The return of the Rodgers brothers is just an extra treat for this game.
Most big-time college programs in Texas passed on the two guys from Lamar Consolidated, probably because both stand just 5-7.
At Oregon State, both have both proven that short doesn't necessarily mean little.
James, a senior wide receiver, caught 91 passes for 1,034 yards and nine touchdowns last season.
Jacquizz, a junior running back, ran 273 times for 1,440 yards and 21 touchdowns and caught 78 passes for 522 yards and a TD.
TCU returns 16 starters from a year ago and has a big edge at quarterback.
Andy Dalton, a fifth-year senior and fourth-year starter for the Frogs, is on the Davey O'Brien Award watch list. He has thrown for 7,457 yards and 44 touchdowns wearing purple.
A win over Oregon State would put him one up in the win column over Slingin' Sammy Baugh.
Sophomore Ryan Katz of the Beavers has yet to be tested on Saturdays. He threw just 27 passes in mop-up duty last year.
TCU, under Patterson, is 11-5 against opponents from the so-called power conferences. The Frogs are 5-5 against the Big 12, 3-0 against the Pac-10, 2-0 against the Big 10 and 1-0 against the SEC.
But Patterson still looks at this TCU vs. Pac-10 matchup as another way of gaining national respect for his program.
"Oregon State will come in here with a chip on their shoulder. Like us, they will be trying to prove they belong and keep climbing that mountain," he said.
Yet the TCU coach still remembers how Oklahoma came into the inaugural Cowboys Classic last year ranked No. 3 in the country, but lost its starting quarterback and the game to Brigham Young.
Does that dull the excitement of playing Oregon State?
"I'd rather play Paschal High School," he joked.

Lancaster, Pa. Receives Award For Water Quality
Source:TheWGALChannel.com & City of Lancaster
The Partnership for Safe Water gave Lancaster, Pa., its five-year director award, recognizing the city's efforts to not only meet but exceed the state requirements for quality drinking water.
City utilities manager Ralph Johnson is proud of the award and told a local news channel why safe water is very important.
"Babies drink that water," Johnson said. "It's important that we have safe water for the children of our community, our commercial people and our residential people."
The city of Lancaster owns, operates and maintains two water treatment facilities. These facilities provide drinking water for more than 110,000 people in the Lancaster area through about 43,000 taps.
The city treats 12 million gallons of water a day.

Desmopressin acts on the kidneys to
reduce the amount of urine produced at night. Its effects last about 7 to 12
Desmopressin is used in the
treatment of bed-wetting (primary nocturnal enuresis) in children
age 6 and older. Desmopressin may be used for some children when other
treatments have been unsuccessful. It may also be used on a temporary basis,
such as when a child has a special overnight event.
Desmopressin is usually effective
when used for a short period of time, such as during times of emotional
stress or during overnight trips or camping
Children who wet the bed 4 nights a week or more can expect
to have fewer wet nights when they take desmopressin.
with a family history of bed-wetting seem to have more success with
desmopressin than with other treatments.
Most children have fewer
nights with accidental wetting when taking desmopressin. But wetting tends to
start again after they stop taking the medicine. Desmopressin usually does not
cure bed-wetting.
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine your child takes. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with the medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if your child has:
Call your doctor if your child has:
Side effects of desmopressin are not
common but may include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
A very rare but serious side effect of desmopressin is
severe water retention that causes an imbalance of sodium and water in the body
(called water intoxication, or hyponatremia). Water intoxication can lead to
coma or death. Some signs of water intoxication are drowsiness (lethargy),
vomiting, and nausea. To avoid this serious side effect, children taking
desmopressin should not drink more than
8 fl oz (0.2 L) of liquids
during the 2 to 3 hours just before bedtime.
Do not give
desmopressin to a child who has an illness that could cause a water and/or
electrolyte imbalance, such as a fever, diarrhea or
vomiting, the flu, or a bad cold. Talk to your doctor to find out when it is
safe to give desmopressin to your child.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. If your child takes medicine as your doctor suggests, it will improve your child's health and may prevent future problems. If your child doesn't take the medicines properly, his or her health (and perhaps life) may be at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or trying to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your child's treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if your child is having problems. It's also a good idea to know your child's test results and keep a list of the medicines your child takes.

Ethiopia will start work on a hydropower plant in its Nile basin within the next few weeks, Prime Minister Meles Zenawi said.
Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi said he doesn't expect international concerns over the country's hydroelectric program to hurt financing plans.
Ethiopian opposition leader Birtukan Mideksa was freed from prison today after the government granted her request to be pardoned from a life sentence she began serving almost two years ago.
The first man on the moon, the first U.S. woman in space and the first black Federal Reserve member were among the notable deaths in 2012.
Ethiopia has made more than 4 million hectares (9.9 million acres) of "fertile and unutilized" land available for agriculture companies that meet government requirements, Prime Minister Meles Zenawi said.
Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi rejected criticism of his ruling party's sweep of 99 percent of announced parliamentary seats in May 23 elections and compared the country's political system to that of Sweden and Japan.
Thousands of Ethiopians gathered in the capital, Addis Ababa, for the funeral of Prime Minister Meles Zenawi today as the ruling party plans to meet to endorse Hailemariam Desalegn as his successor.
Ethiopia's annual inflation rate dropped to 32 percent in January as food-price increases slowed, the Central Statistics Agency said.
"Because we are funding most of our projects from our own resources, it should not affect it."
- Meles Zenawi on Oct 10, 2011

Kate Clough | March 27, 2012 | Comments |
Korea's Naver requires a unique approach to marketing. Here's why. First in a two-part series.
Koreans are among the most active searchers in the world and the amount of search conducted in Korea on our clients' keywords is high, relative to other countries, as we would expect. So, why do our clients get relatively few site visits from their paid search efforts in a highly connected market, where they are popular? The unique way that Korean search engines source and display content significantly impacts searchers' subsequent actions. After the submission of the initial query, Korean searchers' intentions are likely to change, splintering across a variety of related topics and pulling them down an infinite number of paths. Therefore, Korea requires a unique approach to marketing. Rather than jump straight to marketing implications though (wait for Part 2!), let's explore what this means for consumers; you know, what we are when we're not at work.
Following a query submission, Naver, Korea's dominant search engine at 70 percent+ market share, serves up bite-sized information in a wide variety of dynamic formats, including conversation bits, blog snippets, photos, videos, book covers, academic and business papers, maps, product listings and more, all splashed out across a long page of results... so long that I can't insert a screenshot, so please, try it yourself. A search on "Ralph Lauren" this morning produced a predictable 10 organic and 1 paid listing on Google.com and Google.com.hk and did not include any non-text listings; not even a map, showing the many Ralph Lauren stores near me. The same search on Naver delivered 75 results complete with runway shots displaying the latest collection and a short bio of the man himself!
This may sound like information overload, but the information is extremely well organized, by format. The sections are neatly labeled, ordered and displayed in equal-size slots on the page, so that a daily user knows how to scroll directly to the information sought. Sometimes that information is pulled right into the page; the ultimate convenience! However, with so many interesting options available, she might allow related content to distract and entice her, resulting in abandonment of her original mission entirely.
While Naver serves up an incredible buffet of high quality, relevant content from which to choose, it gives significant priority to social content, which appears in the top sections of organic results. A searcher can easily dive into a conversation about the brand she is researching, read a review by a blogger who's considered a subject expert, flip through pictures posted by brand-lovers or view product demos. There are so many opportunities to engage with a brand (including within the search results page itself) that the likelihood of visiting an official brand site, directly after conducting the search, is bound to decrease.
Some might say that this experience is not unique; that one can get format-specific recommendations from Google by using "maps" or "video" or "image" search. However, the searcher would have to make the decision to focus on that particular format, rather than be introduced to the full variety. No one would take the time to conduct multiple, format-specific searches in order to add dimension to the search experience. Some might say that "universal search" is delivering pages like I've described, but not even close. The real estate on a Google page is limited, which has its benefits, but within the few organic results, there's very little space devoted to non-text formats. Naver serves up significant content per format (average 5 listings) across a wider variety of formats, assuming availability and relevance.
Naver does more than get people to the information they seek, it broadens their view of a topic and encourages exploration in a way that other engines do not. It reminds me of the old Encyclopedia Britannica (no longer printing!), which aimed to give readers well-rounded knowledge of a particular topic, though due to the physical limitation of the format (paper), the information was somewhat superficial. Naver serves up information and entertainment within the search results page, along with the functionality to deep-dive on any related topic to learn more. Again, to some, more options may sound burdensome. To me and to millions of Koreans who have tried it, it rocks!
You may debate whether or not Naver rocks, from a usage point of view. It's possible my enthusiasm would diminish with daily use (vs. occasional use, facilitated by Google Translate). One thing about Naver is indisputable: It is (by far) the dominant search engine in Korea, and also a massive portal, which engages millions of Korean consumers every day. It may well be the golden key that unlocks marketers' potential in Korea... if you know how to use it. That will be the subject of next month's article: "Naver Rocks... if you're an in-the-know marketer!"

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
One bedroom studio with double box spring bed , 1 fully equipped bathroom with rain-shower and a little kitchenette with coffee/tea facilities, a small refrigerator and a sitting area for two with a great view.
You actually have a little private studio with big windows and a lot of natural light in the hart of Amsterdam. In the room there are two single box-spring beds, it is also possible to make one double bed because a topping mattress is available.
Because we also offer a stay without breakfast all the cutlery to make your own breakfast is also available in the Kitchenette.
Your private bathroom is fully equipped. You will not have entrance to the rest of the house but because of the great location of the B&B you will not need too.
This is good quality accommodation in a part of Amsterdam that has a good 'neighbourhood' feel (it is just south of the centre of Jordaan) - there is a local school / centre for evening classes opposite, plenty of food shops, cafes, restaurants and takeaways, etc, all without being too noisy. Plus it is very handy for public transport, although you can walk into the centre in about 20 minutes. Nora also supplies accurate descriptions of local pubs, cafes & restaurants to visit within a 10-15 minute walk. Aside from the stairs, which are not that bad but might be difficult for those with an infirmity, I would highly recommend this accommodation for short stay visitors wanting to experience a slice of neighbourhood life in Amsterdam.
I would definitely recommend Nora's place. Great large room with excellent en suite facilities. Bed was large and very comfortable and the room was well decorated. The apartment is located in the trendy Jordan area slightly off the main tourist map, this is a good thing as you get a feel for real Amsterdam. You're only 15 mins walk from the centre of town too. Nora was a great host. Only down side was due to location it could be a bit noisy (didn't bother me as I've lived in cities and that's the deal). Also this is a traditional Amsterdam house be prepared for steep stairs. I'd recommend Nora's place over a bland hotel any time.
L'apartament era còmode i agradable.Bona situació, comunicació amb transport públic, és pot anar al centre perfectament caminant. La relació qualitat preu és correcte. The apartment was comfortable and agradable.Bona situation, public transport links, you can go walking in the center well. The value for money is right.
Clean and beautiful room.. Very nice bathroom.. 15min walk to the centre.. Everything you need is around! Would come again next time!! Thank you!
Great room, clean and with a lot of light. Good bathroom. Comfortable bed. The room is in the third floor and the stairs are narrow, as all places in Amsterdam, but besides that, everything is great!
There are a lot of great restaurants for breakfast, lunch and diner in the area. The B&B is located in a residential area on the border of the centre and the Old-West area. Across the street is the second biggest shopping area of Amsterdam.
You will find all the daily amenities very close by. Also a daily fresh market is just 10 steps away.
Because of the central location of the B&B all the biggest attractions are at walking distance or very easily reachable by public transport.

Eyes rolling.
Marc J. Spears @SpearsNBAYahoo
Hornets guard Eric Gordon tells Yahoo! Sports that a doctor in Chicago told him today he can return from his knee injury in 4-to-6 weeks.
Eyes rolling.
So, I guess that means he is out for the season.
At least until 6 weeks gets here and he can't go.
I'll believe it when I see it. He was supposed to be ready for preseason and the regular season too.
Eric Gordon also told Yahoo! Sports he needs no further surgery and will to rehab and strengthening prior to return from knee injury.
Sooo what's the problem? What's the injury.
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
Lol what the hell dude?
R.I.P. to HunnyB/FlyGirl
Better news than the alternative, I guess.
6 weeks is December 14th... one day before he can be traded. I sense He will demand a trade
Yeah right. And he was going to be ready to go for the season opener, too.
"Hornets means nothing." - Tom Benson
Glad all that micro fracture surgery rumors weren't true. Can't wait to see him back! Seeing Davis and Gordon on the floor together is going to be great
I'm just worried that Gordon is listening to the one doctor telling him good news while the other doctors may be telling him he needs serious surgery. I don't want him delaying a possible long term need.
But, this is good news guys. That makes him A LOT more tradeable now. We were going to be stuck with him for 4 years had he needed microfracture surgery.
At this point I can only hope he demands a trade.
Yay! We might actually get to see him for 1 game before he's shipped off!
This dude better not leave his house for 6 weeks. I hope New Orleans businesses put his picture right next to Goodell's in the window. Not welcome.
So what is the problem? Hornets doctors clear him to play, Gordon says he's hurt doesn't rule out missing whole season, doctor in CHI says 4-6 weeks? What specifically is wrong with his knee? I have more questions than answers
Yea if he doesn't come back in 4-6 weeks.... i'm done.... I've defended him from Fletcher and all the other guys, but this **** is driving me nuts, Like everyone one says, I'll believe it when i see it.
follow me @SportsPillowTlk . I blog and have a podcast about Gulf Coast Sports, Saint, Texans, Rockets, Hornets, LSU, Cougars, Longhorns, NBA, NFL, MLB, Astros
IF this is the last issue, Gordon has a chance to redeem himself over the next 4 years. One more incident after Dec. 31 2012 I give up

The rupee on Monday lost 19 paise to close at 45.98/99 against the U.S. currency due to fresh dollar buying by importers and some banks amid weak equity markets.
At the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex) market, the domestic unit opened lower at 45.96/97 a dollar from the last weekend's close of 45.79/80.
It concluded the day at 45.98/99, displaying a fall of 0.41 per cent. Last Friday, it had gained 29 paise.
Dealers said fresh dollar demand from importers and some banks in view of firmness in the greenback in overseas markets affected the rupee sentiment. The dollar rose as investors turned to the U.S. currency for its perceived safe-haven appeal, they added.
India Forex Advisors CEO Abhishek Goenka said, "Friday's dismal Non Farm Payments (NFP) data enhanced the demand for safe haven assets like the US dollar. Also, the local unit was tracking the weakness in euro and local stock markets."
"All Asian currencies were trading weak against the Greenback," he added.
The dollar index, consisting of six major rivals, was up by 0.13 per cent. The New York crude oil was trading below USD 85 a barrel in European market today.
Meanwhile, the Bombay Stock Exchange benchmark Sensex fell by over 108 points on sluggish global cues following murky US jobs data released last Friday.
FIIs infused USD 509.87 million last week, as per SEBI data.
The rupee premium for the forward dollar turned negative on fresh receivings by exporters.
The benchmark six-month forward dollar premium payable in February settled weak at 64-66 paise from last weekend's close of 70-73 paise and far-forward contracts maturing in August also ended lower at 123-126 from 132-1/2-135-1/2 paise previously.
The RBI fixed the reference rate for the dollar at Rs. 45.9375 and the euro at Rs. 64.9718.
The rupee remained firm against the pound sterling to end at Rs. 74.16/18 from last Friday's close of Rs. 74.22/24 and also strengthened to Rs. 64.90/92 per euro from Rs. 65.27/29 previously. It, however, fell back against the Japanese yen to Rs. 59.80/82 per 100 yen from last close of Rs. 59.63/65.

NEWPORT NEWS -- Through tear-filled eyes, Kevin Kintner spoke to 13News Now about his 2-year-old Pit Bull, Butch.
Someone shot and killed the dog early Saturday morning during a robbery attempt in Pauls Trailer Park off Jefferson Avenue.
'He didn't do nothing. I have, I got go-carts. I got money,' said Kintner. 'They could have taken anything they wanted. They took my buddy.'
Kintner told Newport News police that he was inside a home on Forest View Road at about 1:00 a.m. when 4 people started walking past the trailer. Through an open window, they asked for a cigarette.
Kintner explained when he went outside, the group forced him to the ground. 2 people had guns. They started shooting and killed Butch who was on a tether. Kintner said the people took nothing, and they ran off into woods surrounding the mobile home park.
In addition to police, Kintner reached out to PETA, and he posted something on Facebook post, hoping the attention will help find the people responsible for Butch's death.

Cuyuna Lakes (MN) Bronze-level
Photo by Hansi Johnson.
When Cuyuna Lakes held a grand opening this summer, mountain bike legend Hans Rey sampled the trails. "They're among the best I have ridden — super flowy and fun," reported Rey. "It's good to see Cuyuna Lakes spearheading this evolution of the sport. I loved the trails and riding and I'm sure it will do wonders for the local community, and beyond," he said.
We couldn't agree more. In fact, the parking lots at Cuyuna have been jammed every weekend since the opening — business owners in nearby communities are thrilled. With purpose-built trails for beginners, intermediates and experts, riders from across the region are making the pilgrimage to a new Midwest Mecca.
"There's still room to improve," notes Hansi Johnson, IMBA's Regional Director. "Plans are already forming to increase the options for gravity-fed trails and advanced technical features — once people got a taste of rides like Bobsled, Screamer and Sand Hog they realized that there's more we can offer for the long-fork, high-speed crowd."

Lovely tribute to Gary Carter before the Met game today. Surprised that they didn't formally retire his number, but they've already effectively done it - #8 has never been issued since his time - so I guess that's enough. (Plus they may be saving it for when they retire #31.)
And am I the only one who actually liked the black Met uniforms?
Oh well. At least they won Opening Day, again.

This Steel Magnolias is mostly restrained and relentlessly tasteful, qualities the original could not have been accused of.
The easy humor and palpable love in the ensemble scenes give this Steel Magnolias just enough buoyancy to survive the pools of syrup over which it must traverse.

Washington the 'Blackest' Name in America
On the eve of George Washington's birthday, Associated Press writer Jesse Washington investigates why the founding father's surname now belongs predominantly to African-Americans. The 2000 U.S. Census counted 163,036 people with the last name Washington, 90 percent of whom were black — a far higher percentage than any other name. Writes Washington: The story of how Washington became the "blackest name" begins with slavery and takes a sharp turn after the Civil War, when all blacks were allowed the dignity of a surname.

Sanchez: 'I earned right to start'
Mark Sanchez was hardly surprised when he was told he was starting the New York Jets' preseason opener at Detroit.
And, not only because he has been here longer than Geno Smith.
''You have to ask the coaches, but I feel like I'm putting together a good camp,'' Sanchez said Wednesday. ''I think I earned the right to start this first game and we'll see how it goes from there. But got to keep playing well to stay on the field, and that's the plan.''
Being under center when the real games start with Week 1 at home against Tampa Bay is also part of the plan.
''I mean, I just don't think about not playing ever,'' he said. ''So, that really doesn't affect the way I approach things, the way I go to practice, (or) the way I play.''
Rex Ryan and Marty Mornhinweg announced Tuesday that Sanchez got the nod over Smith because he's the incumbent, and Mornhinweg added that Sanchez ''earned it.''
Both Sanchez and Smith have had solid camps, although the rookie's performance has dipped slightly and Smith even said he ''wasn't my normal self.'' Smith is not concerned about that, and wasn't taken aback when quarterbacks coach David Lee announced to the players the decision to start Sanchez for this week.
''I don't have any reaction toward it,'' Smith said. ''The competition's still open and I'll just continue to work and to grow.''
The Jets are counting on it. Smith has had some terrific days in camp, and others not so great, befitting of a rookie. But he has also provided Sanchez with the first really strong threat to his starting job.
Smith also didn't bristle when asked if he thought Sanchez had earned the opportunity to start the preseason under center first.
''Of course, of course,'' he said. ''I fully back Mark. I fully back the coaches' decisions. Like I said, I'm all about helping this team grow, helping us win. Once they came out with decision that he will start the first preseason game, like I said, I didn't have any reaction to it.
''The only thing that I'm focusing on is making sure I'm prepared for the plays that I get in the game.''
Both Ryan and Mornhinweg have said Sanchez and Smith will get snaps with the first-team offense Friday night at Detroit, and perhaps the starters will play a bit longer than the usual one or two series, given the circumstances.
That means Smith should see plenty of action against the Lions, and then could have a chance at starting the second preseason game at home against Jacksonville.
''Somebody's got to take the first snap, and to me, it is going to be a fair and open competition,'' Ryan said. ''Really, Mark has had a good training camp, and so has Geno. Being the incumbent and things like that, I don't think anybody was that surprised that Mark would be the first quarterback in the first preseason game.''
Sanchez is coming off two mistake-prone seasons in which he led the NFL with 52 turnovers in that span. He was benched for the first time in his career last year in favor of Greg McElroy, and many speculated that the only reason he remained on the team was because of the $8.25 million he was guaranteed this season.
He was also considered by some as perhaps the biggest reason the Jets went 6-10 last year, resulting in several changes in the front office and the roster. One former teammate, Lions wide receiver Chaz Schilens, appeared to echo that sentiment in comments to the Detroit Free Press on Wednesday.
''Really, when it came down to it,'' he told the newspaper, ''I kind of felt like they were looking for scapegoats and besides everyone except for, you know, maybe the quarterback position, and it was what it was.''
Sanchez was booed by fans last Saturday when he threw an interception in the team's scrimmage, and Schilens isn't sure if the Jets quarterback can win them back.
''Nothing good to say,'' he told the newspaper, ''so I'm not going to say nothing.''
Sanchez is focused on this season, rather than his past failures or even the consecutive trips to the AFC title game in his first two years. He does, however, get a good feeling about this year's team and recently told the Los Angeles Times that the Jets could be a playoff team - something he reiterated Wednesday.
''I mean, you have to have that mentality that this team is built to last,'' Sanchez said. ''That we're built to make a strong run and get hot at the right time, to sustain some injuries and then move on from it and get guys healthy as soon as possible.
''I mean, its natural, that happens every year. But I feel like we have the talent to make that happen and now it's about realizing that talent on the field and going out and playing well.''
There's one thing that Smith can guarantee: He will not be nervous the moment he steps on an NFL field for the first time.
''I never have butterflies,'' he said with a smile. ''I've never been that type of person. I don't think I get nervous at all.''
NOTES: CB Dee Milliner was limited at practice with tightness in a calf, but Ryan did not seem concerned about the first-round pick's availability for the game at Detroit. ... A vague Ryan spent several minutes fielding questions about RB Joe McKnight, who is sidelined with what the team is calling a ''head injury'' - but the Jets have not officially classified it as a concussion. The team has, however, acknowledged that McKnight is going through the league's official concussion protocol. ''Joe has a head injury,'' Ryan said. ''I don't want to say he has a concussion because that information hasn't been relayed to me. ... I'm not (trying to act like) Bill Belichick with that, saying it's `a body part that something's wrong with.' If I don't know that he's got a concussion for sure, I don't want to tell you he's got a concussion and that's not the case.'' ... WR Vidal Hazelton was released with a knee injury, suffered during practice Tuesday. He had been having a solid camp, but Ryan said the injury was ''severe.''

Supporting Role Based Provisioning with Rules Using OWL and F-Logic.
ABSTRACT The rule-based RBAC (RB-RBAC) model has been proposed to dynamically assign users to roles based on a set of rules. We identify
two problems of this model: simplified rule language with limited expressiveness and the lack of rule reasoning capabilities.
In this paper we propose an expressive and extensible provisioning framework that overcomes these drawbacks. Our framework
supports complex user-role assignment rules and provides rule reasoning capabilities using OWL DL and F-Logic. Furthermore,
we show how our approach supports (i) weak and strong negation to enhance expressiveness and strictness, (ii) defining static
SoD constraints, and (iii) detecting conflicts. Finally, the paper describes a mechanism to deduce well-formed SPML requests
from rules to provision policy systems with entitlements.

ABSTRACT: Understanding and using the data and knowledge encoded in semantic web documents requires an inference engine. F-OWL is an inference engine for the semantic web language OWL language based on F-logic, an approach to defining frame-based systems in logic. F-OWL is implemented using XSB and Flora-2 and takes full advantage of their features. We describe how F-OWL computes ontology entailment and compare it with other description logic based approaches. We also describe TAGA, a trading agent environment that we have used as a test bed for F-OWL and to explore how multiagent systems can use semantic web concepts and technology.01/2005: pages 238-248;
Conference Paper: RelBAC: Relation Based Access Control[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The Web 2.0, GRID applications and, more recently, semantic desktop applications are bringing the Web to a situation where more and more data and metadata are shared and made available to large user groups. In this context, metadata may be tags or complex graph structures such as file system or web directories, or (lightweight) ontologies. In turn, users can themselves be tagged by certain properties, and can be organized in complex directory structures, very much in the same way as data. Things are further complicated by the highly unpredictable and autonomous dynamics of data, users, permissions and access control rules. In this paper we propose a new access control model and a logic, called RelBAC (for Relation Based Access Control) which allows us to deal with this novel scenario. The key idea, which differentiates RelBAC from the state of the art, e.g., Role Based Access Control (RBAC), is that permissions are modeled as relations between users and data, while access control rules are their instantiations on specific sets of users and objects. As such, access control rules are assigned an arity which allows a fine tuning of which users can access which data, and can evolve independently, according to the desires of the policy manager(s). Furthermore, the formalization of the RelBAC model as an Entity-Relationship (ER) model allows for its direct translation into Description Logics (DL). In turn, this allows us to reason, possibly at run time, about access control policies.Semantics, Knowledge and Grid, 2008. SKG '08. Fourth International Conference on; 01/2009

Coastal Population Explodes Even With A Surge In Intense Ocean Storms
Brett Smith for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online
Massive hurricanes like Sandy, Isaac and Katrina may cost the United States billions of dollars and thousands of lives, but apparently they don´t deter people from living near these storms´ hardest hit areas.
According to a new report from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in conjunction with the US Census Bureau, Americans are flocking to the ocean in record numbers with almost 40 percent of the US population living in coastal counties.
"The real issue is the density, the density is growing enormously," NOAA editor Kristen Crossett told NBC News.
With coastal counties accounting for less than 10 percent of the US — more of the population is fitting into a relatively small area. These slivers of land are also the hardest hit by hurricanes as well as the storm surges that precede them.
The report adds that the population densities of coastal communities are only expected to increase. If the current trends continue, the American coastal population will hit 134 million in 2020, compared to 123 million in 2010.
These figures suggest that more resources will have to be committed in the future towards damage prevention, storm rescue, and recovery.
"The costs of natural disasters are increasing exponentially," Mike Beck, lead scientist with The Nature Conservancy's Global Marine Team, told NBC News, "and we, the rest of the U.S. public, are underwriting the risks for the people who live in those areas."
"That's why, for example, the national flood insurance protection program is in as deep as debt as it is," he noted.
For the most part, the economic realities of these coastal communities are very similar to the rest of the country, according to the report. The only income group that it slightly overrepresented is: households making over $150,000. This means that additional resources may be needed to provide for the poorest citizens living in these areas and to take care of them in the event of a natural disaster.
"The land that is cheapest in coastal counties is the stuff that is most highest risk, that is regularly flooded," Beck said. "That is where we have our poorest populations."
NOAA officials said they expect the report to advise policymakers and non-profit organizations who are responsible for making decisions that affect these coastal counties.
"People who live near the shore, and managers of these coastal communities, should be aware of how this population growth may affect their coastal areas over time," said Holly Bamford, assistant NOAA administrator for the National Ocean Service, in a statement. "As more people move to the coast, county managers will see a dual challenge — protecting a growing population from coastal hazards, as well as protecting coastal ecosystems from a growing population."
For example, the Nature Conservancy could reference the report in advocating for the protection of coastal wetlands from future housing and business developments.
"You might say people love the coast almost too much," Beck said, but "we can reduce risk to people and property and our overall national budget by building more sensibly."
