Originally written on Fox Sports Ohio | Last updated 11/2/14
CINCINNATI (AP) -- The Reds called up outfielder Xavier Paul from Triple-A Louisville to help fill in for the loss of first baseman Joey Votto. Paul could help with the Reds' struggling offense. He batted .332 in 66 games with nine homers and 48 RBIs. Votto had surgery on Tuesday to repair torn cartilage in his left knee and is expected to be sidelined for three to four weeks. He's the Reds' top hitter, batting .342 and leading the NL in doubles, walks and extra-base hits. The Reds optioned right-hander Todd Redmond back to Louisville after a one-day stay in Cincinnati. The Reds called him up before Tuesday's 4-0 win over Arizona because they were concerned that starter Johnny Cueto would have trouble with a blister on his pitching hand.

Over the past few months, the Company was for the first time invited to present at two important conferences, the JMP Securities Healthcare Focus Conference in October and the Piper Jaffray Health Care Conference in early December. These conferences represent opportunities to increase the notoriety of DiagnoCure in the U.S. financial community.
In November, considering the current challenging economic environment, DiagnoCure reviewed the priority and scope of certain development and commercialization projects in order to rationalize expenses and maintain a strong cash base. As a result, the Company reduced its staff in R&D and administration support. Management is confident that these actions will allow for the continuous growth of its business while maintaining a healthy cash position during these unstable times on the capital markets.
Results for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008
Total revenues for 2008 were $1,995,910 compared with $3,467,425 for the same period of 2007. In 2008, DiagnoCure had no revenue recognition of the continued calendar payments and research agreement from Gen-Probe compared with $1,711,940 from the prior year. Royalty revenues from Gen-Probe were $262,387 for 2008, compared with $127,843 for the corresponding period of 2007. This increase is attributable to the sales of PCA3 in Europe by Gen-Probe. Sales of DiagnoCure's non-invasive bladder cancer test, ImmunoCyt(TM) / uCyt+(TM), were $343,750 for 2008 versus $352,351 for the same period a year ago. Income from research and development contracts, predominantly with Gen-Probe, has decreased in 2008 by $166,604 as specific PCA3-related contracted R&D projects got completed. Also in this period, DiagnoCure sold clinical samples to Gen-Probe, in s

CEOs don't really do anything. Nintendo being a bad company has to due with the fact that the majority of the shares of their stock are held by a small group of people who are very close to the company. Therefore, Nintendo does not feel as accountable to public opinion as the should.

Iwata I have mixed feelings on.
Depends what your definition of what "ruining Nintendo" means. I half disagree on the DS, yeah it may have had a couple of shovelware and a lot of casual marketing but at least the quality third party support was still there and such. For the Wii, yep. Except for one thing he was able to turn the 3DS from selling even worse SW/HW numbers at $250 even if the price drop took a toll on Nintendo's profits and his salarys. Though the 3DS's January numbers and missed projections are another story so it still needs more pushes in the West. Same with the Wii U in which it's situation isn't pretty further notice, but i don't believe it will remain in a lackluster position for a while longer.
No chance of that, they'd be better off thinking of a different strategy for their consoles than to just quit it (considering how much worldwide $$$ they still made from the Wii/DS era combined). Otherwise Nintendo IPs would get swifted and buried for good if they left, since i believe Nintendo are said to thrive more profits off their consoles and wouldn't ditch them as such. Heck, Sony are still here despite losing so much money on the PS3 for half of the current generation along with the Vita's entire 1st year fiasco post-launch.
Point is, i doubt Nintendo will go anywhere out of the race even with constant doom. N64, GC, or even the Wii couldn't do it. And neither could the PS3 for Sony.
for a ceo to cut his salary because of the company expectation failed to meet the quarter, this is a huge +++ on my book. alot of CEOs from some major companies won't even do that.

The last five questions on the test were trick questions. Miss Harris thinks she's slick, I thought as I gnawed on the eraser of my number-two pencil. I'd studied hard for this test but now was doubting my answers. I glanced at the clock on the wall, the one with the big black numbers and the second hand that you could actually hear ticking. The second hand seemed to be moving at a faster pace than usual, and I was running out of time. Some of the questions on the test offered a list of multiple choice answers, and I was able to use the process of elimination on them. But others required a specific answer, and those were tricky.
To make things worse, in the middle of the test, my mind started drifting to thoughts of Marcus. It was the last day of school, and the beginning of summer vacation, and Marcus and I were both going away for the summer—separate vacations. He was going to visit his mother in Houston and I was bound for Chicago to spend the summer with my grandmother Nana Summer. Marcus and I would be away from each other for two whole months and some change, and the thought of it was bittersweet. On the one hand, I couldn't wait to see Nana Summer again and spend some time with my cousins in Chicago. But on the other hand, it was going to be hard not seeing Marcus every day, going to the movies or for a bite to eat at Sonic Drive-in. I would miss riding to school with Marcus every morning, tossing my books into the backseat of his Jeep and kicking my feet up on his dash, only to hear him threaten to put me out if I didn't take them down. I would miss our trips to the old airport to watch the rickety planes land, and to count the stars and look for the Big Dipper. Most of all, though, I would miss Marcus's smile and his Jolly Rancher-flavored kisses. Two months would be like two years.
As I approached the last question on the exam, I glanced at the clock on the wall once more. The bell would be ringing soon, and I'd have to turn in my exam, despite my bogus answers to the five questions that weren't multiple choice. Even if I got them wrong, I'd still wind up with at least a C, I thought—maybe a low C, but a C nonetheless. And that was better than a D any day of the week. The last time I'd brought a D home, I'd been on punishment for two weeks and had my cell phone and TV privileges taken away. That was not fun, and I definitely didn't need those kinds of problems now—not at the beginning of my summer vacation. Even though I was headed to Chicago and my parents wouldn't receive my final grades for a few weeks, they would still find a way of making my life miserable if my grades weren't up to par. I would pay one way or another.
"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, I need for you to turn your exams facedown on your desks," said Miss Harris, "and I will come around and pick them up. You will receive your final grades in the mail. Good luck to you all, and have a wonderful summer vacation!"
As the bell sounded, students rushed from their seats and out the door. I took my time about stuffing my book into my backpack. I threw it across my shoulder and stood, sort of moped toward the door.
"Indigo, what's the matter?" Miss Harris asked, cocking her head to the side as if she was trying to read my thoughts.
"I just hope I did okay," I said. "There were a few tricky ones on there."
"You shouldn't worry. You know this stuff. We've gone over it a million times."
"I thought I knew, but some of them had me stumped."
"You'll do fine." She placed her hand on my shoulder. "Have a great summer, Indigo. Your freshman year is over. You'll be a sophomore next year."
She smiled, and I thought about what she'd said. I'd be a sophomore next year. That had a nice ring to it. Meant that I was closer to being a grown-up. It was nice graduating from being a lowly freshman and being at the bottom of the totem pole. You got no respect at the bottom. But as a sophomore, you could push the little people around, and next year, I could do just that. I couldn't wait.
"Thank you, Miss Harris. You have a great summer, too."
I stepped out into the hallway as kids rushed to their lockers, grabbed the few things that were left in them and headed toward the buses.
Let the summer begin!
I waited out front for Marcus until he finally approached, running his mouth with a couple of his friends from the basketball team. They gave each other high fives and bid each other farewell for the summer. Then Marcus headed my way.
"Ready?" he asked.
"Been standing here all day," I said, and then wrapped my arms around his waist. "What took you so long?"
"I had to say goodbye to some teachers and some of my friends. You know how it is when you're popular and good-looking." He laughed as he unlocked the passenger door of his Jeep and opened it for me.
"Whatever, Marcus." I laughed, too, as I hopped into the passenger's seat and pulled the seat belt across my waist. Marcus jumped into the driver's seat.
"Wanna go to the airport and talk?" I asked.
"Talk about what?" he asked. "I thought we would run by the mall so I could pick up those Jordans I been eyeballin'."
"We need to talk about what we're gonna do this summer," I said. "You know, we're both going away. Remember?"
"Okay, so we're both going away. And?" Marcus started his Jeep and let the power windows down. Since there was no air-conditioning, we hoped for just the smallest breeze as we sat there in the school's parking lot.
"And we need to decide what we're gonna do."
"Do about what, Indi? I'm not following what you're saying."
I twisted in my seat, wiped sweat from my forehead. I had already thought this through over the past few weeks. Marcus would be heading to Houston, where I was sure there would be lots of pretty girls all up in his face. And I was heading to Chicago to visit Nana. There was a boy there— Jordan Fisher—who had lived around the corner from Nana for as long as I could remember. I would see him sometimes when I visited during spring break or during the few summers that I spent with Nana. He gave me a ring once—one that he got out of the bubble-gum machine at Jewel's drugstore when I was seven years old. The ring meant that I was his girlfriend, but only during my short visit. After that, I'd forgotten all about Jordan—at least until the next time I saw him. He was sort of a "pretend boyfriend" or "summer boyfriend." We had promised to always be together whenever I visited Chicago, with no strings attached once I returned to Atlanta.
I kept thinking that I might bump into Jordan while I was there. Or maybe I'd bump into someone else who would make my summer worthwhile. I wouldn't have any fun if Marcus and I decided to stay committed to each other. We'd both spend the entire summer wondering what the other was doing, and I wasn't up for that. I had to convince Marcus that breaking up—just for a few months— was the best thing to do. It would only be temporary, and at the end of the summer, it would be as if we'd never missed a beat. Things would go back to being just the way they were.
"Can we drive? It's too hot to just sit here. I got sweat pouring down my face," I said.
Marcus tightened his seat belt around his waist and then pulled out of the school's parking lot. He headed toward the small airport—the place where we went to have serious conversations, or to simply watch the sunset or find the Big Dipper amongst the stars. The old airport was the place that Marcus's dad used to take him when he was a little boy, to teach him about manly things and about life. It was the place where Marcus went to clear his head and spend some quiet time with himself. It was a special place.
During the drive he slipped in a CD and T.I.'s voice rang through the speakers. T.I. was one of my favorite artists. In fact, it was my CD. I had picked it up at Stonecrest Mall the day it was released. Marcus had jacked me for it. I let him borrow it once, and he never gave it back. But I never said anything because I'd lost count of the CDs I'd borrowed from him and never given back. The way I figured it, whatever Marcus had, I had, too and vice versa. If I needed lunch money, he had my back. And I always slipped a package of M&M's into his backpack. That was his favorite candy.
I bounced my shoulders to the music and peered out my window as Marcus pulled into the airport parking lot.
"Okay, here we are," he said, and shrugged.
I was the first to jump out of my seat, hopping out of the Jeep.
"Wanna race?" I asked, and then took off running.
"Not really" was Marcus's response, but he took off running, too.
When Marcus finally caught up, he wrapped his arms around my waist from behind. "So what's up with you, girl?" he whispered in my ear. "What is all this talk about the summer?"
"The summer is three months, Marcus." I turned to face him. "You'll be gone to Houston, and I'll be in Chicago."
"What's your point?"
"My point is, you might meet someone in Houston that you like better." He started laughing. "What's funny? This is not a joke, Marcus. I'm
serious." "You might meet someone in Chicago that you like better." "So what are you saying?" "What are you saying?" "Maybe we should break up just in case." "Are you serious?" "Only for a few months, until we come back," I
suggested. "If we meet someone new, we won't feel bad about hanging out with them. If we don't meet anyone, and we still feel the same way about each other when we come back, then we get back together."
Marcus stared at me for a moment, waiting for me to laugh or say I was joking. After realizing I was serious, he turned away, picked up a few rocks. Threw one across the field. The rock hit the ground with a thump, and he threw another one.
"Are you trying to hook up with someone else for the summer?" he finally asked. "Is that what it is, Indi?"
"No, not anyone in particular, Marcus, but you never know."
"That's cool, Indi. If that's what you want."
"Marcus, three months is a long time." Why didn't he understand?
"Two and a half months," he corrected me. "But that's cool. If you think you can't be faithful for that long, then we can break up. No problem."
"Why you gotta make it sound like that?"
"Make it sound like what?"
"Like it's the end of the world."
"Well, if it's not, then what is it?"
"It's just a pact, Marcus," I said. "We make a pact to break up for the summer. If we don't meet anyone new while we're gone, then we'll hook up again when we come back."

In a way, what Indigo did was really smart, because there are alot of couples who stray away form the relationship when they are in two different states. Distant realtionships do not work out 80% of the time. It was pretty romantic when Indigo and Marcus still had that strong love toward each other. They have both realized that true love conquers all aspects and situations.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

Arena Puj
DISCLAIMER: this project is migrating from the deactivated Kenai portal. Some links may be lost - we are working to fix that asap.
You should ask your JUG about the PUJ competition in your local community. If you don't have a JUG in your local community you can still implement a PUJ, preferably organized by local educators. Below you find the guidelines on how to organize a PUJ and you can also join our mailing lists and ask anything you need to start today.
What is PUJ?
PUJ is an academic competition to promote the synergy between the academy goals and the market needs. The prize stimulates the students to submit their homework projects to analysis by IT experts - senior professionals who will evaluate the quality and the market adequateness of what the students are coding (the homeworks) in the local universities.
Competition Format
The competition format assumes that local students are producing a lot of code in their homeworks, and also recognizes that the local market is eager for skilled developers. The idea is to join those complementary goals, offering the market a chance to review the quality of what is being produced during the early stages of a developer formation. The basic steps of the competition are enumerated below:
- At the end of an academic semester, the professors can submit their best students' homeworks to the PUJ competition
- The PUJ organizer collects the homeworks and organizes their evaluation.
- The evaluation follows the peer to peer reviewing principle, according to which all involved people have the right to grade the homeworks, but with different weight depending on the evaluator role in the local society. The table below contains a suggestion of weights. The final grades can be calculated by arithmetic mean or by harmonic mean. The PUJ organizers should make public the way they will compute the final grades.
|IT Senior Professional
|Professors and academic instructors (with students participating in the local PUJ)
|Students participating in the local PUJ
Important observations:
- The organizers should never define the homework or statements used in the competition. The problems solved by the students come from their reality, from their daily basis education - that's a core feature of PUJ and if you try to enforce an artificial problem you loose the ability to check the quality of the education process in your local community.
- The above weights are only suggestions, you can tune the weights to better reflect the impact of each role in your local community. Remember that market is the king, the PUJ does not evaluate homeworks from their academic criteria (that is already done inside the universities). The idea is to check if a homework allows the students to acquire the competitive skills the market is waiting for in a near future (and not to check the correctness or the complexity of the implemented algorithm, for example).
- The competition may have tracks (j2se, j2me, etc) but remember that each new track will need more evaluators and the number of professionals willing to dedicate their spare time to help the community is usually not that much. So we strongly suggest just one track composed by J2SE and J2EE applications. Nevertheless the competition should reflect the local market, so if your community has a strong J2ME market or is focused in Digital TV applications, there is no problem in having those specialized tracks in the competition. The PUJ organizers should define that accordingly to their local reality.
Eligible competitors
Any graduation student regularly registered in a local Academic Institution, including the ones just graduated in the current semester. JUGs can decide the interval, which they will consider a homework valid, but the most important is the fact that the teachers should submit the homework in the name of their students. When the university instructor submit a homework to the PUJ, he endorses the information of the submission in his name and in the name of the university. So, if you are a student willing to participate in a local PUJ competition, you should ask your professor to submit your homework.
How to submit works?
The professors should fill a form (on-line or paper ones) containing the following information:
- Title of the work
- Name of the discipline to which the work was meant to
- Homework description, the original homework statement used in the assignment
- Name of the student(s) who implemented the homework
- Name of the Professor
- Name of the University or Faculty
- Name of the graduation course
- Semester in which the student implemented the homework
You can download the PUJ Kit with the artifacts you need to implement your PUJ, including the forms used to manage the competition.
Evaluation process and criteria
The PUJ is based on the reality, and the homeworks evaluation should follow two simple criteria:
- Overall application quality: the evaluator should compare the application against the statement provided by the professor. The market common criteria should be applied here, like application usability, performance and robustness. The application works? The application is comfortable and visually attractive?
- Market adequateness: sometimes a fantastic application just doesn't sell out there, we noticed that all the time in the real world and it doesn't matter how sophisticated or impressive a code is in terms of science, the market is a cruel judge - the application features have sales potential or not?
Technologies are not under evaluation and it really doesn't matter what kind of technology the student used to produce his homework - that's how the market behave. Another important point is to avoid to specify too much details in the competition criteria, the goal of PUJ is not to find the most correct homework or the most traditional and safe homework. The goal of the PUJ is to elect the most effective homework in terms of technical education. Notice that the quality of the statements and the quality of the education of each academic institution is evaluated as side-effect of the PUJ - and that's why you don't need to enumerate long lists of rules and criteria - the best grades will arise from the experience of the professionals responsible for the evaluations, from the academic experience of the professores and from the customer instinct of the students.
The quality of the evaluation depends much more on the quality of the people involved in the competition than previous evaluation criteria. Rule #1: use senior professionals as evaluators, promote the peer review and make it in the most transparent way. This factors will guarantee fairness on the final results. One of the greatest feedbacks from PUJ is about the contrast between the students expectation and the professionals evaluations, several times students think they have a killer application that does not score high at the end. The thinking about why is that is a great learning for the students. Professors can also review their assumptions if their homework are not compatible with the other professors or if the market is kind of rejecting the way they ask homeworks. Remember: experienced professionals know what is good and what is not good about software design and application usability, they don't need written rules to find out the quality of the homeworks - one or two senior professionals can make mistakes during the evaluation, but if you have a group of several evaluators it is almost impossible that all of them will fall in the same mistake.
The qualifying evaluation (optional)
What to do if the number of submissions is disproportionate to the number of available evaluators, the PUJ organizer can establish a qualifying phase: a short review of the submitted homeworks to decide which are the eligible homeworks. This pre-selection should be done by a reduced number of professionals and/or professors. The most important action if the qualifying proves necessary is to publish the reasons of the homeworks elimination, one by one and in a transparent way.
- Google Summer of Code is a good example of that, because Google pre-selects by its own criteria who is eligible to participate or not.
The prizes and why you should never give money prizes to the winner students
It is the responsibility of the PUJ organizer to organize the prizes for the competition, asking for sponsorship for example. The only important point to remark here is about the goal of the PUJ: to promote the education. The competition prizes should follow this lemma, support the students education. The most common and strongly suggested prizes includes:
- conference vouchers and trips (the main prize of the original CEJUG PUJ )
- books and other study resources
- free courses, free software licenses
Why the PUJ should never include money prizes for the students?
Students are by design people eager for knowledge, and that is the main reason you should avoid material prizes - the ones a student can eventually sell after the competition or the ones that simply will become obsolete after a short time after the PUJ. Computers and electronic devices for example are cool prizes but usually have zero impact in the student education. It is just a new impressive gadget that will be forgotten few months after the PUJ. On the other way, if a student receives a free trip to attend an international Java conference, it will impact the life of the student forever because he will always remember the good times attending technical sessions, the cultural contrast with other countries or region, technical networking, etc. The feedback of students who already received conference prizes is remarkable.
Competitors FAQ
- Does it make sense to compare applications made with different technologies? J2SE with J2EE for example..
- Yes, it definitely makes sense because the goal of PUJ is to evaluate the quality of the homeworks and not the technologies involved in their implementation. The professionals involved in the evaluation should be mature enough to separate the quality of the homeworks from their underneath details.
- Why J2ME is not included in the original suggestion?
- Because it is very difficult to test and because PUJ was created in Ceará / Brazil, a place with a very small J2ME market. If your local community has a good tradition with J2ME or any other technology not suggested here, please talk to your JUG leader about that.
- And if the other students try to eliminate my homework giving me low grades?
- The PUJ organizer should define the weights and invite a minimum number of professionals that make the students evaluation only decisive in case of even scores. And, think about that: if two homeworks receive exactly the same final grade, it doesn't really matters how the winner is selected. The students are participating in the evaluation for their self learning on how to evaluate and for their comparison of their works with the other competitors - the results of that experience are fantastic.
- And if a professor doesn't want to submit my work?
- Then you are out of the competition. The professor and only the professor can endorse you homework because the PUJ organizers cannot validate all information for all students. We trust in the academic institution for that purpose.
How to organize the PUJ in your local JUG
If you are creating a PUJ for the first time, we suggest you the following actions:
- Find the sponsors, the local companies willing to pay the prizes and the marketing material (t-shirt, posters)
- Invite the evaluators, the senior professionals who will review the homeworks
- Establish a competition calendar, compatible with the local academic calendar and in agreement with the sponsors
- Publish the rules and the calendar on the web. Your PUJ is then officially launched
From this point on you need to promote a lot the competition in your JUG and wait for best homeworks. Don't forget to talk to all graduation courses to promote the PUJ inside the universities.
The PUJ Kit
To facilitate the PUJ adoption, we prepared a kit composed by a set of Open Office sheets and forms used to control a PUJ manually. We are still dreaming of an open-source online system to help the management of the people and homeworks, but until we do have such application we expect the kit can make your PUJ adoption more agile.
Organizers FAQ
- How to attract sponsors?
- How to prevent frauds and guarantee the information security?
- Where to find resources to implement a PUJ?
List of adopters
You can use the list below to find out how people organize PUJ competition all over the world. Some JUG leaders authorize us to publish their email, so you can ask them about the organization of the PUJ competition in their local JUGs.
PUJ Memorabilia
CEJUG and the original PUJ
Curious moments during competitions
The wall of shame
- Once a student tried to cheat against the other competitors giving bad grades for all other works. Two interesting side effects arose from his attempt: 1st: the low grades caused none impact in the overall evaluation since the bad grade just decreased a bit the competition average grade. 2st and most obvious side effect, the other competitors quickly realized the cheat attempt and started to blame our hero, who finally faded away from the discussion forums. So, if you are thinking on how to cheat your opponents, please be smarter the next time. Remember that all grades and evaluation comments are public, so your cheating tricks will be noticed by all people involved in the competition, including your teachers, your bosses and the opponents eager to remove you from the arena.

How can I help this project?
Several pending issues are available for the good hearts willing to help, like:
- Create a PUJ logo - we need a fancy logotype - ok, we need any logotype since we don't have one :)
- We need an online PUJ management system. We have only a project specification draft so it is pure green grass for the developers looking for fame & fortune (we guarantee the fame, ok?)
- Ideas: innovative ideas to make the PUJ more robust and more attractive for the competitors are always welcome - and please, keep it simple or helps us to make it even simpler. Do you have a killer innovative idea ? Please send it to firstname.lastname@example.com

The last decade has seen installations of major works of public art installed in airports across the country as cities have looked to improve the travel experience for frazzled passengers and create a positive impression. The new international terminal at Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta includes $5 million in art, while San Diego spent $2.2 million on an installation with 38,000 LED lights in it. "Once 9/11 happened, airports were desperate to make the experience calmer and more enjoyable for passengers. And art has made a difference," said Greg Mamary, director of special projects for the American Association of Airport Executives.

Youth Worker (Caring for young children that had "problems" at home.)
DJing (Still dunno how I managed to get into that)
...and telesales (I know, This was the one I just lost.)
Now, I was unemployed for 3 months between the Youth Worker and Djing job. That was easily the most rubbish I have ever felt. I really do not want to go back into the jobcentre. As garbage as telesales was, it was still a job good enough for me to:
A: Let me eat
B: Be warm, in my own flat.
C: Not have to live with Mum.
But here I am, unemployed and feeling a bit garbage and pretty lonely. I need a hug

Customer Raves & Reviews
Expectations exceeded
This card is absolutely beautiful. The colors and quality of paper are excellent. It matched my wedding invitations. I've ordered many products from this company and was never disappointed! I will continue to use them in the future! Great pricing for the quality too!
Very Nice Invitation
This is a very nice invitation, good quality, color of invitation and text very true to picture. Unfortuately the first letter of the bride's name is a "j" and the bottom of the letter actually touches the edge of the invitation, even though the established lineup was correct. The 'proof" did not reflect this, as there appeared to be a small space between the bottom of the letter and the edge of the invitation. I am disappointed that I was not contacted to alert me and suggest that the bride and groom's names be moved one space over.
This design is perfect. I did not want something as big as my original invitations and these were perfect. The paper is good quality and they look better than I imagined. I only ordered 25 but I got 50 of each. Not sure why but the more the merrier!
Amazing stationary
I started off using Magnet Street when I came across their website while I was in search of Save the Dates for my wedding... I did them on their website. What I loved about it was that I could take one of their templates and put to the theme of my wedding using the same colors and all... Their turn around time of them actually processing your work is quick and easy. I loved them so much I had my invitations for my wedding done there, which are gorgeous btw and my rehearsal dinner invites as well... I love love love them please check them out.
Super cute invitations!
These invitations are perfect for a rehearsal dinner! Super cute and super durable! I reccomend these 100%!

By Mariela Rosario | 08/31/2010 - 15:11
Chilean miner Esteban Rojas—who has been trapped underground since the mine he was working in collapsed on August 5th—may have just won himself the honor of delivering the most dramatic proposal ever.
As family members of the trapped miners gathered around to see their loved ones on video and speak to them for the first time since the accident, Rojas, 44, took the opportunity to send a note to his sweetheart Jessica Ganiez, 43 that read: "When I get out, let's buy the dress and we'll get married."

A book by Nicholas Sparks
In the last few years, with the publication of such books as Jacques Leslie'sThe Markand William Prochnau'sOnce Upon a Distant War, historians and former correspondents have been examining closely the role of journalism in the conduct of the Vietnam … see full wiki
Yet, the power of memory is such that it doesn't take much to bring it all back. Dipping into these compilations of writings about Vietnam -- the original reportage and memoirs in the Library of America volumes and the best of everything else in "The Vietnam Reader" -- shards of long-forgotten memories were struck just by reading the names of towns and villages. Khe Sahn, Haiphong: The words sound so completely alien, as if they had been coined by H.P. Lovecraft. They trigger memories of tracing the S-curve of the countries on maps in the newspapers, seeing the photographs in Life magazine -- for me, the 1960s will always be remembered as a series of black and white freeze-frames from the magazines, with color reserved only for the more silly stories found in the back of the book -- and hearing them recited on TV in the stentorian tones of Walter Cronkitethe who would recite the weekly casualty figures, printedon screen before the national flags, like baseball scores, while the family ate our meat loaf and mashed potatoes and waited for Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom to come on at 7.
Time has passed and in this media-drenched age, so much history has been created, screened and absorbed over the past quarter-century. Vietnam and Cambodia became a backwater in the American consciousness, flaring up from time to time in response to specific, finite events such as the debate over Agent Orange, the construction of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the screening of "Platoon" and "The Killing Fields," and the debate over draft evasion by Bill Clinton, Dan Quayle, Phil Gramm and Newt Gingrich.
For those of us who were not there, who can view the war almost dispassionately, it is this lack of intervening history that makes these books so powerful and painful to read. This is a chronicle of a nation marching deeper and deeper into a war that the journalists there saw as early as 1965 -- about 150 pages into two volumes that total more than 1,600 pages -- could not be won the way it was being run. Historians will probably argue eternally if it could have been won at all. The repressive and corrupt South Vietnamese government could not win enough "hearts and minds" of the people to defeat the Viet Cong, and an invasion of North Vietnam could have triggered a Korean War-style invasion from China. It took nearly a decade for the United States to find the way out of that bloody tunnel and another two decades before full diplomatic relations were reestablished.
The casualty figures fly beyond the mind's grasp: 58,000 Americans killed, 4,400 South Koreans, 500 Australians and New Zealanders, 180,000 Cambodians (with another million perishing under the Khmer Rouge between 1975 and 1978), a half-million South Vietnamese and an estimated 1.1 million North Vietnamese and Viet Cong.
"Reporting Vietnam" starts with Time Magazine's report on the first U.S. advisers killed in South Vietnam, then continues chronologically with the inevitability of the Zapruder film of John Kennedy's murder ride. It moves with reports from the field -- a report on a Viet Cong massacre in the Ca Mau Peninsula, Neil Sheehan's account on South Vietnamese troops refusing to fight in the battle of Ap Bac, to Joseph Alsop's profile of South Vietnam's president Ngo Diem, from the scenes in Washington of President Johnson and his advisers defending their policies to Tom Wolfe's account of Ken Kesey disrupting an anti-war rally in Berkeley and Norman Mailer's self-important essay about the March on the Pentagon.
Then there are the incidents, as bizarre as any recounted in "Apocalypse Now." The American-run television channel presenting the German opera "Hansel and Gretel" backed by the American Chamber of Commerce; Gloria Emerson reporting the idea by the head of the Civil Operations and Rural Development Support, challenging his fellow CORDS members to participate in the 1971 decathlon comprising "bridge, tennis, gin rummy, volleyball, nautical sports, Chinese chess, winetasting, close harmony, etc." (Emerson, who had spent two years in the field as a correspondent, quoted and commented on Richard Funkhouser's memo: "`It is always open house here at Bienhoa for competitors,' Funkhouser wrote, in that playful spirit so many of us in Vietnam really lacked.")
With respect to the Vietnam veteran who reviewed this collection, it should be pointed out that this is not a history book. It is a collection of contemporary articles, and as such there's nothing an editor can do to juice them up. The books are not meant to be read from front to back either. It is by dipping in and out that you can find rewarding reading.

Auberge Janine du Havre: Inn, B&B and Camping
This is a high quality location located just as you drive across the bridge from Shippagan and arrive on Lameque Island. It is rated as a Canada Select 4-Star (5 maximum) and it certainly deserves it! Because the weather forecast was so changeable, we decided to forego the camping and at least have a nice bed to return to after our planned 80-km (50-mile) bike trip through who knew what weather!
The quality of the rooms was very good and the beds were fantastic. Because it was outside of Shippagan itself, there was no noise to keep you awake either! The Inn has a nice outdoor swimming pool enclosed by a clear wind-break. The room price also included a continental breakfast of cereal, juice, fruit, toast and coffee/tea. Located along the channel that separates Lameque Island from the mainland, there were numerous birds available for viewing in the shallow waters along the shore. We paid about US$75/night including taxes.

Intellectual property and climate change go very much hand in glove. The linkage of the two might seem bizarre to some, but in fact, access to technology play a significant role for developing countries. A lack of understanding of the intellectual property system and the benefits to be derived therefrom, could be one of the reasons developing countries have not taken the intellectual property bull by the horn by linking technology to green, environmentally and eco-friendly investments.

Review by Kyle Kerley -December 6, 2005
With all of the advances in computer technology, CPUs have been reaching ridiculously high temperatures, video cards idle at 60°C and higher--and sometimes we've got two of them--computer cases are getting hotter and hotter. There isn't always a lot of room in there, either and with cables, one can be looking at quite the heater. Arguably the most critical item in a computer, the hard drive is just as susceptible to overheating as any other component and keeping your data safe should be of utmost importance. The people at Austria-based mCubed know that and have come up with world's first hard disk cooler that features vertical heatsinks to offer the best cooling for your personal data possible. As described on their site:
"Vertical Silence is a hard disc cooler, which is designed especially for passive cooling. It is the first hard disk cooler with vertical heatsinks, which allows an natural air convection, without an active fan cooler."
"Vertical Silence is a hard disc cooler, which is designed especially for passive cooling. It is the first hard disk cooler with vertical heatsinks, which allows an natural air convection, without an active fan cooler."
Excited by the claims and impressed with the mass and look of the Vertical Silence, I quickly took my computer down and went about setting it up.
For starters, the Vertical Silence came in a simple white cardboard box with a picture of the product inside on top--as shown above; ignore the gray, patterned box. Inside, the cooler is protected by a sheet of bubblewrap and while packed very well, my sample was not free from damage. A chunk from the top right corner of the back plastic faceplate was broken upon arrival. It was merely a cosmetic defect, however. The picture below shows this broken corner (in the bottom left of the picture).
Besides the actual cooler, there was also a baggie with mounting screws and an "instructions" card included in the box.
The Vertical Silence converts a 3.5" HDD into a unit that fits into any open 5.25" bay.
The chassis is black and has a good weight to it. It feels solid and reliable. The inside consists of copper heat conductors/spreaders and a foam-like padding material that used to cover the drive.
The clear-plastic front and back panels are secured by four screws and have an anti-scratch plastic coating covering them. The only way to get the coating off completely required that the screws be removed and the plastic peeled off. This was mildly annoying as it took over five minutes to do. The plastic is thin and does not do much to protect (as seen by the shattered corner).
Installing my 60GB ATA133 Maxtor Diamondmax 9 hard drive into the Vertical Silence was a snap—no thanks to the included instructions sheet however. The sheet is small and quite vague, leaving most of the work up to intuition and going with what looked right. The website just had a copy of the same useless instruction sheet with no further explanation. With seven years of German under my belt, I figured the native language instructions would be better. They were not. They said the exact same thing the English translation said.
It took mere seconds to get the drive in between the copper heat spreaders. However, the foam rubber was much too long requiring that I bunch it up in the front of the drive where there was a little extra room, in order to allow the IDE and power connectors to remain uncovered.
The Veritcal Silence closes by sliding a piece of metal over the top through a slot carved out in the back plastic faceplate. Because of the foam padding being bunched up, what resulted was a 5+ minute struggle to get the Vertical Silence closed because there was too much foam at the front of it sticking up out of the cooler.
Finally, the cooler was closed and was put into my case. The cables were reattached with little problem and the drive was ready to go in my 5.25" bay.
Now, the big test: just how well will this passive cooler work?

|Thermal-mechanical analysis of targets for high volume production of molybdenum-99 using low-enriched uranium
|Turner, Kyler K.
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|Techenetium-99m is diagnostic radioactive medical isotope that is currently used 30,000 times a day in the United States. All supplies of techenetium-99m's parent isotope molybdenum-99 currently originate from nuclear reactor facilities located in foreign countries and use highly enriched uranium (HEU). The University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR) is exploring the feasibility of high volume molybdenum-99 production at its facility. Current molybdenum-99 production uses HEU in a powder dispersion target. The powder dispersion method, conventionally used for fuel rods and plates, combines fine particles of aluminum and HEU that are bonded into a rigid plate during irradiation. In accordance with the Global Threat Reduction Initiative all uranium used in future molybdenum-99 production will use low enriched uranium (LEU). Unfortunately LEU has a much low fissionable density then HEU which makes the dispersion process economically unviable. A design approach to increase the LEU density is to use a target that is based on LEU foil. The foil design places a LEU foil between either two concentric annular aluminum cylinders or two aluminum plates which are pressed and welded together to produce a structure that allows for easy removal and processing. The drawback of these designs is the thermal contact resistance between the LEU and aluminum cladding during irradiative heating is very sensitive to the target design, manufacture, and irradiation holder. This thesis explores those thermal-mechanical design issues for both the cylindrical target design and the plate target design. Analytical, numerical and experimental studies are used to assess the mechanical deformation for these structures and its effect on the target's thermal contact resistance.

A review of recent developments in radar signal processing in the presence of clutter is presented, with particular reference to an air-traffic environment. Two different signal processing issues are considered. The first issue relates to the adaptive suppression of clutter (of unknown statistics) and consequent enhancement of the echo produced by a moving target (e.g., aircraft). Here, several adaptive techniques are presented to respond to changes in environmental conditions. The second issue relates to the problem of identifying the sources of clutter with the aim of vectoring aircraft around hazardous areas. In both cases, results based on real-life radar data are presented to support the theory.

He might be the most famous footballer on the planet. He might be a lavishly decorated elder statesman of the football world. He is even going to become a club owner in the United States in the near future. But at 37 years old, David Beckham admits that Sir Alex Ferguson still frightens him.
"You can see the aggression still. It scares me when I watch him on telly.
"He's always going to be that person. He has got that aggression. It will never go away from him as a manager. It's one of the reasons why he is respected like he is, but he has got that tender side as well. Not always, but he does have it and it's one of the reasons I had the relationship with him over the years and that I have now."
It is more than 20 years since Ferguson gave Beckham his Manchester United debut at Brighton in the FA Cup and both are still hungry to compete at the very top long after many had expected them to retire.
Beckham is steeling himself for one last big club challenge while Ferguson has twice deferred retirement and does not seem to be losing any of his desire.
"Looking at him on the sidelines I think he can go on forever," Beckham said. "It's impossible to say that he's ever going to stop. He continues to defy people and continues to defy an age limit in being a manager because he's the best. It's as simple as that.
"It was amazing to see him being honoured [with a statue outside Old Trafford] and you hear from players who have played for him what respect they have for him as a person and as a manager."
That respect was strained during Beckham's final days at United in 2003. Ferguson dropped him from the first team and after his team lost to Arsenal in the FA Cup kicked a boot that accidentally hit Beckham and cut him above the eye. They have rebuilt their relationship since, however, and Beckham hopes to become a Manchester United ambassador after he has finished his playing career.
That might not be as imminent as expected. Asked who he thought would retire first, Ferguson or himself, Beckham said: "I don't know. I want to continue playing as long as possible. As long as I can get around the field and feel I can play at a high level, I will."
That could mean playing into his 40s, assuming he avoids injury. Beckham admits watching former Manchester United team-mates Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs still playing in the top flight gave him added incentive.
"It's nice to see them still playing at United," he said. "I'm 37, the same age as Scholesy, although Giggsy is even older than me. Me and Scholesy grew up together and played with Giggsy and it is great to see them still playing. I know when Scholesy stepped away he came back and regretted stopping. I want to continue to play for as long as my legs will take me."
Beckham is yet to disclose which club he will be joining but will clarify his position after the MLS Cup final. In the coming weeks he will also announce whether he is going to buy into an MLS expansion franchise or whether he will become part of the ownership structure at LA Galaxy. He is excited by the prospect of proving himself all over again.
"Wherever I've gone it's been a big deal throughout my career. Whether it's been going on loan to AC Milan, or leaving Manchester United for Real Madrid, or Real to here - it's always been big news," he said. "This next move will be a move that is about the football. That has never been any different.
"People say some of the moves have been about money but my answer is always the same that my career has never been about money. I'm not money motivated, I just want to play for the best team and with the best players."
