Dr. B. R. Manjunath
Director General, SVIMS
"The traditional way of imparting education has been through the Lecture mode which is not the best way according to me, as students gets easily distracted. Powerpoint presentations are flat and one dimensional. Technology can be useful in this case as assignments can be done in classrooms under the guidance of Professors. Individual tablets make it easy to apply the theory taught, the students can also do their research, take up assignments etc. Online assessments available on the Tablet can help the faculty to evaluate the students periodically. Real time scenarios such as the fluctuating Stock market can be easily studied with the use of Tablets in classrooms."
Case Study
Please find below the Case Study for E-Life tablet for Teachers, which is an education program teaching life and business skills for economic empowerment in disadvantaged areas around the world.
The eLife Tablet for Teachers uses basic mobile technology - a cost-effective way to deploy education. The Tablet works off the Magic Pencil tablet app on an Android platform.
Most importantly, the eLife Tablet will help both students and teachers achieve positive change for their life, and long-term social impact for their community.

Susan Lippl's
Doll Page
Beautifully sculpted
porcelain and vinyl dolls
Note from Jenny Lynn:
I have been collecting dolls and paper dolls for several years. I own over 400 dolls by various artist and doll makers, in various sizes, from older antique and vintage dolls to newer lifesized dolls.
A little over a year ago, I discovered a doll artist that completely blew me away and changed forever my idea of the perfect doll. Susan Lippl is an artist in every sense of the word. Her dolls go far beyond the ordinary realm of characteristics that one expects to find in a doll. Every doll is a true lifelike sculpture.
I knew right away that I had to own a doll by Susan Lippl but I was not in a position to buy her one-of-a-kind, or limited handmade porcelain editions. I was delighted to discover that some of Susan's dolls had been reproduced in porcelain and more were being reproduced in vinyl by Masterpiece Dolls at prices I could afford. However I soon learned that these dolls were not available for sale in the United States. To get these dolls, I'd have to get them from HSE24 (Home Shopping Network Europe) or Ebay Germany. And so began my quest to collect Lippl dolls.
The greatest pleasure I have received from the discovery of Susan's dolls is an unexpected friendship with a lady who is one of the sweetest, kindest, and most talented people I have ever had the pleasure of coming in contact with....Susan Lippl.

Companies want to grow. Obvious statement, right? This is the reason why we all have jobs as marketers; companies need to grow and they need people who understand how to do that.
I have a startup client who uses this as one of their mantras:
I think it's true. Today I want to talk about how small businesses and startups can grow their brand company through smart marketing even when they don't have a huge budget.
Let me also say that I have stopped telling companies "Oh sure, we'll get you ranking for (insert keyword here)," because that's a small-minded approach to marketing and growing a company (especially a startup). I now tell startups to focus on growing their branded traffic, because that is ultimately how you get links, mindshare, and win online. This advice has only increased since the Penguin and Panda algorithms started rolling out. We're not seeking to trick or game the search engines; we're seeking to build brands online.
Here are a few ways to build branded mindshare.
As Will Critchlow said in his SearchLove presentation (embedded at the bottom), you don't have to have money, but you do have to have one of these:
Often, what you need to do first is establish your thought leadership, and that is done through content.
Some of my favorite examples are MailChimp's Resources:
And Grovo's resources:
I also respect what the founders of BufferApp have done by getting content all around the Internet to grow their startup. They've written on leading blogs such as ProBlogger, and now they're even being asked to do interviews, such as this one from Blueglass.
When looking to grow your company, you should not just leverage search (though it is a great medium for growth). For more on this idea, read Matt McGee's classic You Can Diversify or You Can Die from 2007.
We have so many channels to leverage for growth at this point on the Internet. You've all seen this:
I also want you to think about how you can use other platforms, such as forums or social networks, to tell a story and get attention.
For example, Grovo built out their History of the Internet on their Facebook Timeline:
When they launched it, they did outreach through PR and got exposure (and links) from all these places and more, driving over 300 signups:
Their branded traffic increased after being flat, and has kept increasing to this day:
Having a spokesperson, or public face, is highly underrated by most companies. Potential customers don't (usually) connect with a brand, but they do connect with a person.
Would SEOmoz have grown its community, consulting, or software as quickly without Rand as the face of the company? I don't think so. In fact, his author page is the 8th most linked-to page on SEOmoz.
There are many ways companies can get their spokesperson (a CEO, a CMO, an awesome consultant) known:
Display these people prominently on your website.
This goes along with the spokesperson point above, but one of the best ways to start getting your company known is to be involved locally. I don't care if you are a tech startup or an international pharmaceutical brand - being involved in your local as well as online community is one of the best ways to build your branded searches and brand advocates.
Here's one example:
Yes, yes, SEOmoz is doing marketing that increases their branded searches (for both SEOmoz AND Mozcation). They're not trying to get us to link to them saying "SEO software," either :-)
I've often challenged clients with "What makes your customers happy, and what is going to make your brand lovable?" In my opinion, there is nothing worse than a faceless brand. It's not trustworthy, it's not likable, it's not fun. Even if you are in a serious industry, you can have a brand that people love because they connect with it.
For example, do you know this guy?
Or this guy:
Or this gal:
Mailchimp has Freddie, and they've even sent out large plush versions such as this one in SwissMiss's studio in Brooklyn:
We associate the face or mascot with the brand. It's called affinity and it works.
Finally, one way to do this in the search results (see, we're still talking about SEO as it pertains to marketing) is to look for areas of opportunity. What are your competitors not doing that you can do? Are they not marking up their sites with Schema? Are they not leveraging image search? How about videos and video snippets in the search results?
That's where you need to go. And use Tom Anthony's SERP Turkey to test if the investment to get those results is worthwhile.
To wrap all this up, I'd like to leave you with a few thoughts. Building branded searches, honestly, is harder than building rankings. Branding is a longterm play, and it's not something that you can do overnight to gain traction. If you're looking for a quick hit to suddenly get a lot of users, branding isn't your answer. But ultimately, it's the right answer for growth and a successful business.
I'd also like to leave you with a couple of presentations about inbound marketing on a budget. This kind of inbound marketing will also win you branded searches. Will and Rand went head to head, as they are known to do at Distilled's conferences, about "Inbound Marketing on a Shoestring Budget". Both had stellar presentations, so I wanted to provide them here for you to flip through and get more ideas:
Sign up for The Moz Top 10, a semimonthly mailer updating you on the top ten hottest pieces of SEO news, tips, and rad links uncovered by the Moz team. Think of it as your exclusive digest of stuff you don't have time to hunt down but want to read!

Rudolfo Anaya's The Man Who Could Fly and Other Stories is the culmination of Anaya's forty years of writing short stories. The remarkably powerful stories in this collection present a view of the Americas and of our lives as "Americans" that some will not recognize. It is a world with north/south boundaries (instead of east/west) that includes the ancient peoples of the New World and also the present-day Latino community. For Anaya, as these stories show, New Mexico is a kind of staging ground for his views about America, much as the south was a staging ground for Faulkner's ideas about this country. Reminiscent of his literary masterpiece, Bless Me, Ultima (1972), also set in New Mexico, the stories in this collection present the voice of a Latino nation rising. For people serious in their thinking about America and the country it will become in the years ahead, Anaya's short-story collection is a vital and visionary expression of American culture.

Recalled Warriors striker Edward Sadomba says he returns to the Zimbabwe national team for Sunday's 2015 Orange Africa Cup of Nations first round, second leg qualifier against Tanzania, probably at the wrong time as they are under pressure to win.
Sadomba was due in Harare on Monday, but eventually arrived late Thursday night from his Libyan base to join the Warriors camp. Tanzania had also arrived earlier in the day. Zimbabwe lost the first leg 1-0 and need to win by two clear goals to progress to the second round.
Sadomba, with five goals in the CAF Orange Champions League for Al Ahli Benghazi, has poor statistics for the Warriors having scored just once in 14 matches, but is hopeful that he can find a favourable return to the National Sports Stadium.
"There is nothing wrong in people saying I score more for my clubs than for Zimbabwe. It's all about the different type of play style. Sometimes I play as a second striker, sometimes as a winger and usually get into good positions in the box.
"In Sudan I did play as an outright number nine, but it all depends on the coach and the type of formation he uses," Sadomba told CAFonline.com ahead of the weekend game.
He added: "I am only joining the team now and it's up to the coaches to select me," the former Al Hilal striker said. He added that should he be selected he is keen to transfer his club goal scoring success to national team.
The Warriors have been hit by a number of withdrawals due to injuries with Mathew Rusike of Kaizer Chiefs, Simba Sithole of Ajax Cape Town, Carlington Nyadombo of AmaZulu and Peter Moyo of Highlanders limping. Moyo is the latest casualty after being injured in a league match last Sunday.
Kuda Mahachi was in Namibia with his Mamelodi Sundowns team for a one day tournament and picked up a knock and had to return to South Africa for treatment.
Sadomba, who has also played for Tembisa Classic, Bidvest Wits and Maritzburg in South Africa and Liga Muculmana in Mozambique before leaving for Al Hilal in Sudan, said it was up to the players to deliver.
"We can't leave everything to the coach. We have to deliver, we are playing at home and we can't afford to be knocked out in the first round. If selected I will do my best to make sure we win," he said.
Coach Gorowa also has Cuthbert Malajila as part of his strike-force along with Sadomba and Tendai Ndoro. One other striker, who will have a big shout for a starting berth is How Mine's Kuda Musharu. Musharu has eight goals in the local league from nine matches and scored six when his side How Mine was still playing in the Orange CAF Confederation Cup this season.
The aggregate winner of the Warriors vs Taifa Stars will face either Mozambique who beat South Sudan 5-0 on aggregate.

Rosh Hashana's Sacred Bread Offers Meaning in Many Shapes and Sizes
by Deena Prichep
from National Public Radio
Challah is a rich, eggy bread baked every week for the Jewish sabbath, or shabbat. But for Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year that starts at sundown, it gets a few tweaks. There's a little extra honey or sugar, for a sweet new year. And instead of the usual long braid, it's round.
Mimi Wilhelm, who bakes challah for her family every week, teaches a challah-making class through Chabad Oregon. "The reason that we do the round challah, versus the braids, for Rosh Hashana, is because the year is round, it represents that idea. This looks like a crown, for crowning God as king on Rosh Hashana."
But crowns and braids aren't the only shapes around. Charles Levy grew up in Morocco and is now the president of Congregation Ahavath Achim, Portland's Sephardic temple, which is largely made up of Jews of non-Eastern European descent. Growing up, he saw Rosh Hashana challahs in all sorts of forms. "Some of the people in Morocco will emulate animals, like a swan, or often you'll have a head-like lion, lion of David. Or gdi, which is like a gazelle, a very fine and good-looking animal," he says.

Tennessee Mosque Wins Petition To Open
by The Associated Press
from National Public Radio
A federal judge ordered a Tennessee county on Wednesday to move ahead with opening a Muslim congregation's newly built mosque after a two-year fight from opponents.
The Islamic Center of Murfreesboro sued Rutherford County earlier in the day and asked District Judge Todd Campbell for an emergency order to let worshippers into the building before the holy month of Ramadan starts at sundown Thursday.
Federal prosecutors then stepped in with a similar lawsuit.
The future of the mosque had been in question since May, when a local judge overturned the county's approval of the mosque construction. This month he ordered the county not to issue an occupancy permit for the 12,000-square-foot building.
Campbell ordered the county to move ahead on approving the mosque for use, although it wasn't immediately clear if that could happen by Thursday. Final inspection of the building is required.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
Keywords: Grub, fdisk, MBR, LILO, boot, booting, sys c:, dualboot, dual boot
The recommendation was *for* putting the OSes on different hard drives.
It certainly helps with stability. Windows may have problems if you
put it on the slave drive, though.
Anyway, for better performance, it'd actually better to span the OSes
across multiple drives. It's okay as long as you keep both of your OSes
on a short leash.
BTW, there was some slight misinformation from someone earlier about `SYS
C:` vs. `FDISK /MBR`. I don't recall what it was, exactly, but `FDISK
/MBR` creates master boot record appropriate for DOS/Windows. `SYS C:`
installs the DOS kernel+ (msdos.sys, io.sys, and command.com) on the C:
drive. SYS does not do anything on the MBR, AFAIK.
Also, I don't recommend overwriting the MBR with zeros. You should never
need to do that. `FDISK /MBR` should work fine, unless FDISK is infected
by virus.
AND!, I always recommend putting the boot loader on the partition boot
sector, not MBR. Windows will mess with MBR everytime you reinstall it,
but it won't touch the partition boot sector of unrecognized (ie - Linux)

What Forgiveness Is
• Forgiveness is for you and not for your partner.
• Forgiveness is taking back your power from getting wounded.
• Forgiveness is taking responsibility for how you really feel now.
• Forgiveness is about your healing and not about your partner's action.
• Forgiveness can be a trainable skill, just like understanding to throw a baseball.

School moves to ease concerns over progress in Maths
Posted: January 30, 2014|
A SOUTH Derbyshire school has been forced to bring in extra support after parents raised concerns about pupil progress in maths.
Senior teachers at the Pingle School, in Coronation Street, Swadlincote, have moved to stamp out problems by appointing a new teacher and bringing in a range of volunteers to try and bring those under performing up to scratch. Bosses at the school are also asking parents to raise concerns 'immediately' if they feel their son or daughter might be slipping behind in the key subject area.
Acting head teacher Viv Sharples said: "Some parents have been concerned about progress in maths.
"In a bid to combat this, a new maths teacher will start next week.
"We had volunteers from The Derbyshire Building Society in to help in lessons before Christmas and currently have other volunteers in three mornings per week, all of whom make a good contribution to learning.
"There are also a number of intervention groups for all ages, and abilities.
"However, if parents feel that their son or daughter is not accessing extra support and they are concerned about his or her progress, I would urge them to contact Mr Hall, acting deputy head teacher, who will work with them to resolve this the best that he can."
Parents are also being encouraged to get their children to practice maths at home by heading online to www.mymaths.co.uk or www.mathswatchvle.com.
Mrs Sharples said that senior teachers at the school will analyse individual pieces of work and homework in a bid to find out where any issues may stem from.
She added: "Rest assured that we will continue to do our very best to meet the needs of every child in the school."
The school is in the process of battling back after being dubbed 'inadequate' following a damning inspection by Ofsted last year.
One of the issues picked up by inspectors was that youngsters were not fulfilling their potential when it came to maths, a matter the school is now trying to further address after parents again raised concerns.
However, the school has been impressing inspectors during recent visits with praise handed out for efforts to try and improve in all areas.

Delaware may not be doable for the Republicans, but take a look at Wisconsin: "After a decisive win in Tuesday's Republican Primary, businessman Ron Johnson now holds a seven-point lead over incumbent Democrat Russ Feingold in Wisconsin's U.S. Senate race." This may be part of a post-primary-vote bump, but still.
The Republicans need 10 seats to take the Senate. (I will put aside the possibility of a Joe Lieberman party switch.) Here are nine: Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, North Dakota, Wisconsin, California, Nevada, Colorado, and Pennsylvania. Add either Washington or West Virginia and the GOP gets to 10. Hard? Yes. Impossible? Hardly.

Our society is be better served if the folks who author perspectives on complex topics like global warming actually have credentials to substantiate their thoughts. (The author states that he has no climate background.) A few obvious observations. 1) The notion that climate scientists with doctorate degrees aren't able to make any sort of valid account for urban heat islands is pretty simple-mided. The idea of urban heat islands is taught in entry level meteorology courses. The climate experts are well-aware of urban heat islands. 2) Surface land measurments are only one set of data that are used in the analysis of global warming. Heat island or not, they are not the whole picture. 3) Global Warming is just that - Global. The author uses one data point, Washington DC, as a basis for analysis. One data point on a very large planet would be like assessing one grain of salt from a bucket full of salt and drawing some sort of conclusion. 4) The author says that we should "throttle back on opinions" but he has done just the opposite by saying what he believes. Scientists generally don't give opinions. They use evidence to support findings. That's it.
Hey John, thanks for your comments. I'm not a climate scientist and took a whole paragraph to get that across in this blog. The blog was making the point that usually only certain things are reported such as the Times article while others are left out. For your observations.. 1) Yes I know they take UHI into account. I even contact NCDC to ask if they did so, but also read a paper that came out in December 2012 stating those processes taking UHI into account in the Climate reports need work. It looks like it will be going in the right direction. 2) This blog wasn't about global warming, it was about people drawing their own conclusions from one set of data. I.E. 2012 State of the Climate Report. That's weather, not climate... I think you would agree. And yes, I know how much actually goes into a global temperature analysis. 3) I used D.C. as a point of reference to show the UHI effect in that it's warmer at night compared to daytime readings. Once again, not talking about global warming, but talking about the UHI and how much it's changed just in the past 10 years, even in old rural locations like Dulles used to be. With these changing rapidly, NCDC will need to keep up with the changes, even now in smaller cities across the country. 4) Once again, I was talking about relating weather with climate and "throttling back opinions" means every time a tornado or hurricane hits not to relate it to a climate process. Finally, I agree it's warming! I live in D.C. and politicians live in D.C. I hope they know the importance to keeping the funding alive for something that will need to be funded for years to come. Can you agree with me on that?
Alex, thanks for your reply. Yes we agree that the New York Times didn't accurately report the temperatures for 2012. And we've all seen irresponsible attribution of a single event or season to a single cause - in this case, Global Warming. But you would be well-served to read the literature and understand how science works. The post by "Concerned Citizen" really gets to that point. You say that we shouldn't express opion but you wrote, "Does that mean I believe we are in an uncontrollable, upward sprial of global warming? No. I think it means we are in a period of warmer temperatures and we would be better served to throttle back on opinions and throttle up on facts. And fund more research." The preceeding sentences are nothing but your opinion. If you take the time to read the literature published in refereed journals, you'll find that the vast majority of climate scientists present evidence that Global Warming is happening and humans are the cause. I have not been able to find a climate modeller, who's model is showing anything but warming. Yes there is debate about how much, how fast, etc., but no one is showing cooling in the next 100 years. Like the "Concerned Citizen" suggests, we should not delay action because we need to further study how much warming is going to take place.
One thing that never ceases to amaze me when people discuss global warming is that they never mention the sun, the center of our Universe. It is proven throughout history, through historical records, that when the sun is active as it is now, the earth is warmer, when the sun is less active as in 1996 and 2009, colder weather prevails, and for a good part of the world, we can't forget those two incredible winters and fairly pleasant summers. 2013 is the peak of the current sunspot cycle, by the late 2010's, say 2018 or 2019, the sun is projected to go into a quiet period and there is some sort of maunder minimum coming up in 2030. If I were a betting man, I would say that around 2018 to the 2030 period, we will be a good deal cooler than we are now, and probably 2013 is unfortunately liable to make us suffer through another scorcher summer, but I bet 2014 and 2015 will be cooler and the winters will be longer and worse. When people discuss global warming, why is one of the obvious causes never mentioned--the sun. It does not take much to tip the scales as the earth is a lot more fragile than we would like to think, and that is what it is showing us with all the bizarre weather over the last few years. Bizarre if you grew up here in the 60's and 70's like I did.
Robert, the current Solar Cycle 24 has the weakest sunspot pattern since Solar Cycle 14, which had its smoothed sunspot number maximum of 64.2 in February of 1906.
Yay "broadcast meteorology community" esteemed scholar club! Spend less time on the application of brylcream and/or aquanet, and more time reading books! Here's one for you: "A Vast Machine: Computer Models, Climate Data and the Politics of Global Warming" by Paul Edwards. Published by MIT Press. This sloppy little article *was* a good way to make headlines, though.... I'm sure this page is getting a lot of hits....
Robert, you make an interesting observation about the sun. That said, do you think the folks with decades of years of experience & doctorate degrees in climate haven't taken this into account? Our society runs best when our experts study things for a long time and then come up with findings. Example. You or I might have something interesting to say about how to treat diabetes. But our opinions would only be relevant if they got published in something like "The New England Journal of Medicine." That's how science works - study, then results get published in scientific journals that have experts as gate-keepers. If we choose to throw out what the climate scientists are finding, then we must also throw out the findings of cancer researchers, chemists, etc. They all use the same methodology. We are all best served when our experts are in charge of the debate. Think of it. If you thought you might have a brain tumor, who would you ask about diagnosis and treatment - the nurse, the orderly who cleans up the room, or the expert researcher who has a doctorate degree in brain tumors and has been studying this topic for 30 years? I know who I would ask. The author of this article has a bachelor's degree in meteorology, not climate science. I wish that his education had helped him distinguish what he knows from what he doesn't know. He's not a climate scientist. That's like asking a nurse about brain surgery. The nurse knows more than most people about how the brain works, but is not an expert on brain surgery. The author of this blog has valid observations about several media outlets reporting that 2012 was the hottest year ever. This can't be said with only 118 years of data. But he unfortunately has no credentials in climate - he says that he's never even taken a single class in climate. Do we trust his "opinion" about climate? I know that I don't.
Understanding that moving beyond arguments from authority was a hallmark of modernity, I have no problem with your lack of credentials when it comes time to present evidence. (I always love the claims that a bunch of Nobel laureates believe in climate change, as if that were substantive evidence of anything other than their belief.) Of course, the amount of credence I give to your inferences as they stray further and further afield of the evidence will necessarily suffer from your lack of experience. However, I am curious about your ultimate conclusion. Are you claiming that we should study more before acting to address climate change? If not, then what is the point; of course we will continue to study it while attempting to address it. If so, what if you are wrong, and we are headed over a tipping point? We hear rumbling on the tracks, wait, study the vibrations, and then discover that there is in-fact a train one foot away. At what point would you believe that there was sufficient evidence to suggest that there is global warming and that we need to address it. The people that have been studying it for decades have come to that conclusion; what, then, is your contribution to that discussion? An admonition that they need to study some more because, in your opinion, there are a couple of issues with a report in an article by a journalist. I appreciate that you have taken that article to task for its omission of certain interesting tidbits about last year while celebrating others. However, the fact that a NYT article neglected some information does not mean that there is a lack of evidence concerning global warming. In short, your blog posting is one long and, admittedly, interesting non sequitur. Unfortunately, like the inadequate NYT article, it just gives ammunition to climate skeptics most of whose arguments are armed with little more than ignorance and doubt.
A notable aspect of a strengthened greenhouse effect is nighttime heat retention. Compare the planet Mercury, with its thin atmosphere and extremely steep temperature gradient, and Venus, a planet with a nighttime temperature that is hotter than Mercury's daytime temperature even though Venus is further from the sun.
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate your very good sense in this article. One thing I've observed is that there were no airports 117 years ago. One day, it was reported to be 102 degrees at Reagan National and in my shady backyard, about 8 miles away it was 95 degrees. There isn't a much hotter place than a large expanse of concrete, asphalt and jet engines. Also, my Arlington yard is full of older foliage and many animal and bird species which appear unscathed by any "threat".

Outreach Partnership With Friends Of Hermione
Twenty years ago a small group met together and discussed the idea of reconstructing an exact replica of L'Hermione, the French frigate that carried Lafayette to the American Revolution in 1780. As L'Hermione was reconstructed, the idea grew that she should sail to the USA - bringing to life the voyage made by Lafayette and reaffirming the historic relationship between the United States and France. L'Hermione's first voyage will take her across the Atlantic in 2015, stopping in ports from Yorktown to Boston, providing a series of fun, educational adventures capturing the spirit of Lafayette-self-determination, independence, freedom, and human rights-for millions of Americans. For more info on the project and the 2015 Voyage, please see http://www.hermione2015.com/

There was a time years ago when fishing was simple. I'd grab a rod and reel and jump in the wooden homemade jonboat with my granddad, crank the 3 hp Johnson outboard and putter to our favorite fishing hole. We would drown a couple dozen minnows catching white bass, crappie or largemouth bass until dark and then putter back home. Life was good.
Not today. Now it's hook up the 21-foot Ranger bass boat and trailer with the gas guzzling 250 horsepower Evinrude ETech motor, drop half a house payment at the gas pump filling it all up, pull it to some far away lake, buzz around at a casual 50-plus mph, all the time watching the screen of a state of the art Lowrance GPS with depth locator, 3-D imaging, contoured Navionics maps showing rock piles, ledges and points, looking for that magic fishing spot, hoping it holds the next 20-pound stringer of bass to load into a 25-gallon live well with fill pumps, automatic recirculating pumps, oxygen tank, and special aeration systems to keep the oxygen content at as high as possible. If it's going to be a long day we can add ice and Rejuvenade that by the manufacture's claim revitalizes our catch. I have a trolling motor with intuitive programing that will follow a contoured depth break with the simple push of a button on the remote on my right wrist, so not a single one of those little green fish will get away.
You won't find the old paper bag with a baloney sandwich and coke on this boat. What you will find is 20 gallon built-in insulted cooler large enough to hold three days of electrolyte drinks, energy bars and various flavored waters along with enough baloney, mustard and gluten-free bread to feed myself and half of Wadhams.
Howard Hammonds is a guide and experienced bass fisherman living in Westport. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

New Defense budget Means More Financial Uncertainty for Pentagon
April 9, 2013
The Obama administration is poised to roll out a 2014 defense budget that is billions of dollars higher than legally mandated spending caps, setting the stage for another year of financial uncertainty and turmoil at the Pentagon, defense analysts say.
The White House will propose a $526.6 billion defense budget on Wednesday when it unveils its spending plan for the fiscal year beginning October 1, U.S. officials say. That is $51 billion above the spending caps set by a 2011 law aimed at controlling government deficits.
The White House budget plan proposes spending reductions and revenue increases that officials say would make defense cuts under a process known as sequestration unnecessary.
But a deal on taxes and spending with the Congress seems unlikely, given that President Barack Obama, a Democrat, and the Republican-controlled House of Representatives have been trying for two years to achieve one.

The Wilson Reading System is a research-based reading and writing program. It is a complete curriculum for teaching decoding and encoding (spelling) beginning with phoneme segmentation. WRS directly teaches the structure of words in the English language so that students master the coding system for reading and spelling. Unlike other programs that overwhelm the student with rules, the language system of English is presented in a systematic and cumulative manner so that it is manageable. It provides an organized, sequential system with extensive controlled text to help teachers implement a multisensory structured language program.
The basic purpose of the Wilson Reading System is to teach students fluent decoding and encoding skills to the level of mastery. From the beginning steps of the program, it also includes sight word instruction, fluency, vocabulary, oral expressive language development and comprehension. Throughout the program, a ten part lesson plan, designed to be very interactive between teacher and student, is followed. The lessons progress from easier to more challenging tasks for decoding and then spelling.
Wilson directly teaches the structure of words in the English language with an organized and sequential system with 12 steps. Steps 1 and 2 emphasize phonemic segmentation skills (the ability to separate the sounds in a word) and blending the sounds together again. Initially utilizing monosyllabic words, a student learns to segment sounds within words. In addition to using sound cards, the Wilson program uses a unique "sound tapping" procedure in these early steps. For example, in teaching the word "map" three lettered cards are put on the table to represent the three sounds in the word. The student is taught to say each sound while tapping a different finger to his or her thumb, as follows:
Other MSL programs include counting of sounds by various techniques, but Barbara Wilson believes that the sound tapping of fingers to the thumb has been a key for students in successfully learning to blend sounds as well as segment them. As the student succeeds at reading and spelling words (both real and nonsense) with three sounds, he then moves on to words with four sounds, then five, and so on. At the end of Step 2, the student is able to fluently blend and segment up to six sounds in a closed syllable.
Beginning in Step 3, multisyllabic words are used and the student is systematically taught to segment syllables in words. Steps 4-6 teach vowel-consonant-e syllables, open syllables, suffix endings, and consonant-le syllables. The students have extensive practice with controlled vocabulary for decoding and spelling application. Comprehension is addressed with vocabulary work and through the development of visualization skills with the reading of literature to students. Mastery, including fluent application, is required for progression at each step. Instruction after Step 6 combines continued "word attack" and spelling work with comprehension and an emphasis on the application of skills with non-controlled text as well as controlled text. In Steps 7-12, r-controlled syllable, vowel teams, and complex word structure is taught.

With more than 13,000 employees around the globe, business analytics software and services giant SAS had plenty of internal talent and knowledge -- and no good way to bring it all together.
But with the rapid adoption of social networking platforms for people to connect and share, SAS senior director of internal communications Karen Lee in 2010 saw an opportunity – and the future.
"One night when I was out on Facebook with some of my colleagues, it occurred to me that I was on an external platform talking about things internally going on at SAS, and I really didn't think it was such as great idea," Lee says. "But that was the easiest platform, it was something that everybody was into, and I knew a lot of my colleagues were on at night, so why not get on and chat with them?"
From there, she adds, "It was an easy transition for us to say, 'Let's try something like that inside SAS.'"
This being a company that makes analytics software designed to help enterprises make better business decisions, SAS approached the project in logical and thorough fashion, gathering 35 people from various departments and business units and asking them for a wish list of features and functionality in a social platform.
Armed with about 150 requirements, Lee says, "a project manager brought back some ideas about resources, time, different types of tools and technologies that we should look at, and how much it's going to cost us to do this."
After considering several other competitors (and even a roll-your-own project), the project manager suggested Socialcast, an enterprise social platform developed by a start-up of the same name (and which was purchased by VMware in May 2011).
"The more we looked at Socialcast, the more we realized it was exactly what we needed," Lee says. "It was an out of the box platform. By the time we decide we wanted Socialcast, which was mid-January (2011), we had it up and running by February 14. We knew we could not do that with any of the other paths we had researched or looked at."
Socialcast includes a number of communications and collaboration features in one interface, such as conversation streams (based on topics relevant to the user), groups, worker profiles, document and file sharing, polls, analytics, recommendations, notifications and mobile applications.
SAS's slightly customized version of Socialcast, dubbed the Hub, was an immediate success. Lee's team discovered that by the end of a 10- to 12-day beta period, more than 1,000 employees had opened accounts.
Today, just two years later, slightly more than 10,000 of SAS's 13,300 employees have Hub accounts. Further, more than 1,000 groups have been formed, with topics ranging from work- and project-related to personal.
"There are groups for hiking, photography, car enthusiasts -- even work-life topics such as adoption and elder care," Lee says.
In a world where many enterprise social platforms gather cobwebs, a 75% adoption rate is impressive, especially since signing on to the Hub is opt-in and not mandatory. Lee says SAS employees embrace the Hub not only because it's familiar to them from their own social networking experiences, but also because it helps them be more effective and valuable.
"What the Hub is doing for our employees across the globe is offering a new way for them to work," she says. "It's giving them the ability to bring information into their jobs and job responsibilities that they probably never would see through an email or through some other channel of communication. It's just like going out on Facebook, and you're learning things about people that you never knew or you never had the opportunity to because you didn't have this type of tool.
"We're seeing our R&D groups, which are some of the biggest groups on the Hub, posting information," Lee says, "and they'll get reactions -- comments and suggestions, solutions, sharing of code -- within minutes, within seconds. And it's being shared around the world."
It's this kind of collaboration and knowledge sharing that Lee says makes the Hub a transformative tool for SAS. "You're finding experts around the world who have answers, and you've never met them before," she says. "It doesn't get any better than that."
Socialcast claims more than 20,000 global customers, including 3M, Human, Philips and FactSet. The platform is free for up to 50 users and $5 per user per month for a minimum of 100 users. It can be deployed on site or in the cloud.

Asian rhinos
How you can help
- Don't buy rhino horn products!
- Donate to WWF to support the Asian Rhino Action Strategy
Key Facts
Greater one-horned rhino (Rhinoceros unicornis), Javan rhino (R. sondaicus), Sumatran rhino (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis)
Tropical and subtropical grasslands, savannahs and shrublands, to tropical moist forests
Vulnerable to Critically Endangered
About 3,200
Mysterious and very low in numbers
Historically hunted for their horn, a prized ingredient in traditional Asian medicines, and devastated by the destruction of their lowland forest habitat, Asian rhino populations are now distressingly small.
These animals are among the world's most endangered. One species numbers no more than 50 individuals, while some subspecies number just a few.
Throughout their range, their habitat continues to dwindle fast due to illegal logging and other human pressures, and the threat of poaching is ever-present.
Greater one-horned rhino
Its original range extended from Pakistan all the way through India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Myanmar. However in 1975, only 600 remained.
Decades of conservation efforts saw the population rise to 2,575 individuals by 2007, and a reclassification from endangered to vulnerable. Thanks in part to WWF's range expansion and translocation programmes, today there are more than 2,900 of the animals. When given sufficient habitat, rhinos will breed and increase in number.
The species is found in the Terai Arc Landscape of India and Nepal and the grasslands of Assam and north Bengal, northeast India.
Javan rhino
Also known as the lesser one-horned rhino, the species historically roamed from north-eastern India through Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Vietnam, and the islands of Sumatra and Java in Indonesia.
Today, no more than 50 individuals are thought to survive in the wild. There are none in captivity.
Only one subspecies remains and is restricted to Ujung Kulon National Park, Java, Indonesia. The Vietnamese subspecies of Javan rhino has been pronounced extinct after the last remaining individual was found dead with its horn removed.
Sumatran rhino
Also called the lesser two-horned rhino or hairy rhino, the species once ranged from north-eastern India through Indochina, Malaysia, and the islands of Sumatra in Indonesia and Borneo, which is shared by Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Its numbers are thought to have at least halved between 1985 and 1995.
Today, the population is estimated at fewer than 200 individuals, located in small pockets of Sumatra, peninsular Malaysia, and Borneo. The Borneo population is considered a distinct subspecies, numbering perhaps fewer than 25 animals.

Theodor Herzl already has a city named in his honor, and I assume this won't be his first street, but Beverly Hills on Sunday will rename a block of Clark Drive after the founder of modern Zionism:
The new street name was proposed to the city council by Beverly Hills Mayor Jimmy Delshad, apparently the first and only Iranian Jewish immigrant at the helm of an American city.
Two council members objected to the name change, fearing a possible breach in the separation of church and state, but they were outvoted.
Israeli Consul General Yaakov Dayan warmly supported the Delshad initiative. "It gives me tremendous pride to see a piece of Israel's heritage and culture amidst this beautiful city," Dayan said.

Technical Data
TRAF6, CT (TNF Receptor-associated Factor 6, E3 Ubiquitin-protein Ligase TRAF6, Interleukin-1 Signal Transducer, MGC:3310, RING Finger Protein 85, RNF85)
Signals from the IL-1 receptor (IL-1R)/Toll-like receptor (TLR) and TNF receptor (TNFR) superfamilies are critical for regulating the function of antigen-presenting cells. Signals transduced by these molecules lead to increased expression and activation of transcription factors such as NF-?B. TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) is unique in that it is a signaling adapter molecule common to both families. TRAF6 is important in cytokine production, dendritic cell (DC) maturation, and the T cell stimulatory capacity of DCs in response to TLR and CD40 ligands (4). It can be activated in the IL-1R/TLR signaling pathway by IL-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 (IRAK-1) or by other TLR adaptor molecules such as TRIF. Also, it has been shown that TRAF6 can interact directly with TNFR family members CD40 and RANK.
Suitable for use in Immunofluorescence, Western Blot and Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Immunofluorescence: 0.5ug/ml
Western Blot: 1-2ug/ml
Immunocytochemistry: 0.5ug/ml
