Evernote, a web- and app-based personal info storage service, has raised a $5 million second funding round from Russia's Troika Partners. The product, which works across Windows, Mac, the web and mobile, lets people clip bits of web text to save as a searchable collection of notes for later perusal. There's a $5-a-month premium version. Evernote has handwriting recognition and sharing features. It scored a $6 million first round from individuals in August 2006, when Esther Dyson and PayPal co-founder Max Levchin joined the board, but this round comes from the still-booming Russia. Troika also invested $5 million each in 3D games outfit iZ3D and 3D software maker ParallelGraphics. From RBC Daily via Quintura.

Hagens Berman Notifies Harvest Natural Resources, Inc. Investors of May 21, 2013 Deadline, Expanded Class Period in Pending Class Action Business Wire BERKELEY, Calif. -- April 8, 2013 Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, a national investor-rights law firm, today reminded investors of the May 21, 2013, deadline in a case brought against Harvest Natural Resources (NYSE: HNR) ("HNR" or "The Company") and encouraged those who have suffered losses to contact Hagens Berman Partner Reed Kathrein, who is leading the firm's investigation, by emailing email@example.com or calling (510) 725-3000. HNR investors who purchased stock in the company between May 7, 2010, and March 19, 2013, inclusive (the "class period") and suffered significant losses may also contact the firm by visiting http://www.hb-securities.com/investigations/HNR. Investors who wish to serve as lead plaintiff in the case must move the court no later than May 21, 2013. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. On March 19, 2013, HNR announced that due to material weaknesses in its internal controls, it would be required to revise or restate certain financial statements during 2010, 2011 and 2012. The company's stock price fell on the news. The class-action lawsuit alleges that HNR failed to disclose material information to investors, including incorrect capitalization of certain costs and misrepresentation of certain cash flow items, among other issues. Hagens Berman's investigation centers around what HNR and its executives knew prior to the March 19 announcement. Hagens Berman reminds whistleblowers with inside information that rewards may be available to individuals who report information leading to a successful enforcement action by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under the new SEC whistleblower program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC.

Good value
Very reasonable price
Battery dead out of the box
Mark (United Kingdom)
40-49 years old Man
used for 2 to 8 weeks Compared to other makes this makes good value, but check the battery before you leave the shop. Initial impressions are the quality is not on par with the other makes, but if I get a couple of years out of it, and it auto pauses less than my Garmin one I will be happy.
Another dead battery
Good value. Simple setup with Garmin 500.
Dead battery supplied.
Brian (United Kingdom)
30-39 years old Man
used for 1 week or less Great value product! However as another reviewer noted this new item was supplied with a dead battery. Once replaced and "green" test light visible then the sensor was simple to detect/pair with my Garmin Edge 500 unit.
Supplied with dead battery
good value
dead battery out of the box & poor instructions
Jerry (United Kingdom)
50-59 years old Man
used for More than 1 year Once a new cr2032 battery was fitted the test button gave a green light from the led. It then paired easily with my Bryton Rider 40. Instructions do not state why why both rubber straps and zip ties are supplied, and whether the rubber strap needs to be fitted in a particular way. Having wirrten this I have just worked out that they do need to be fitted a particular way, with the ribbed section going underneath the foot of both units.
Does not connect to Tacx app on my Galaxy Note 3
Good price
Does not connect to the Tacx app
Michael (United Kingdom)
30-39 years old Man
used for 2 to 8 weeks The Ant+ sensor will not connect to the Tacx app which I wish to use with my Tacx Blue Motion turbo trainer. I have the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 which is Ant+ compatible.
Needs improved seals
cannot be used in wet weather
steve (United Kingdom)
40-49 years old Man
used for 3 to 6 months Had two of these on separate bikes and both failed within months with water entering the battery compartment. The sealing of the unit is only good for dry or indoor use.
Response of the brand
Dear Sir,
Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to read that the sensor has not withstood wet weather.
I will forward this to the product manager at b'Twin.

Jim and Bobbette Graff headed out to an auction Saturday hoping to come away with a Mini Cooper. But as the bidding price went up, they had to settle for something a little more, well, mini.
"We ended up with these," Bobbette Graff said, holding up two model cars. "We're not exactly going to drive off in them, but it was fun."
While the Graffs didn't get everything they wanted, many people in the crowd did, as Dickensheet & Associates auctioned items belonging to admitted Ponzi-schemer Shawn Merriman that had been seized by the U.S. Marshals Service.
Merriman was convicted of scheming family, friends and fellow church members out of about $37 million, which he spent on a lavish lifestyle that included classic cars, dirt bikes and antiques. Merriman is serving 12 1/2 years in federal prison, so his belongings were put up for auction to help compensate the victims.
The auction house was packed with buyers and spectators, with more than 1,700 registered bidders vying for everything from antique signs to a softball pitching machine. Many more came just to catch a glimpse of Merriman's stable of cars, which included a 2006 Aston Martin as well as a vintage 1932 Ford Highboy roadster and a 1930 Lincoln Phaeton convertible.
"I just wanted to see the cars because I love old cars," said Jodie Rossillon of Lakewood.
Like many of those in attendance, Rossillon heard about the auction thanks to the coverage of Merriman's trial.
"Without a doubt, it's gotten a tremendous amount of media attention," said Bill Dickensheet, owner of Dickensheet & Associates, which held the auction.
"It's affected a lot of people here locally, and that has brought out not only the serious buyers but also the curiosity seekers as well as, I'm sure, a number of investors."
"You have an individual who may come in because they are just curious, and they want to see what's going on," he said.
"They saw it in the paper or they saw it in the news, and then they become what we call an impulse buyer. They say 'Well, hey, that's kind of neat. The price is right. I think I'll take it home with me.' "
The Graffs certainly could attest to that. They were hoping the Mini Cooper would sell for less than the $15,000 Jim Graff estimated it was worth, but the car ended up going at exactly that price.
"People spend a lot more than things are worth," he said. "But there were some good buys. It sure doesn't look like there is a recession in this town."
As for Rossillon, she had her eye on a Coca-Cola lamp shade that she wanted to pair with the soda fountain she has in her basement. She was outbid for the lamp shade, but with hundreds of items, it wasn't long before she set her eyes on something else.
"My college-age son wants cast-iron cookware. He decided he's got to learn how to cook, now that he's on his own. Go figure."

I'm wondering if using /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.html as a permalink structure is something that could cause problems in the long run in WordPress. Main concern, of course, is the additional .html at the end. I've tested it and it does work.
I want to use this structure for post redirect for a Blogger to WordPress migration (which was using its own custom domain). Unfortunately none of the "Blogger to WordPress redirect" plugins seem to be doing the trick. I came across the above permalink structure on a couple of the plugin site and was wondering if this was a viable solution.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

Speak for Englandby James Hawes
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
MacAdam/Cage is thrilled to publish James Hawes, a brilliant satirist from the UK. His wonderful new novel begins with its protagonist Brian Marley, a divorced, ineffectual teacher, all alone in a jungle about to die on live television. A reluctant contestant on Brit Pluck, Green Hell, Seven Figures, the ultimate reality TV show, Marley has somehow managed to outlive his rivals and win two million pounds. Except that the helicopter sent to bring him back to civilization has crashed, and he's on his own, with a portable camera, at the foot of a monstrously tall cliff. He has no option but to start climbing... To his astonishment, Marley doesn't die, and the world he finds at the top of that cliff is remarkably like an Englishman's version of heaven. There's cricket and rugby, the Union Jack, plucky boys, pretty girls, a tough but fair headmaster? an entire miniature civilization created by the surviving passengers from an airliner which vanished in 1958 carrying a jolly gang of youngsters to a public schools jamboree in Australia. Believing that they were one of the first casualties of World War III, they have survived in their jungle fastness for nearly fifty years, sustained by the Book of Common Prayer and good old English values. Hawes' telling of this tale is as funny as anything he has ever written, but when Brian's rescuers do find him at last, when the world of tabloid journalism confronts that of the Eagle, when the Prime Minister, spotting an opportunity for a sound-bite, meets the Headmaster, the novel shifts gear into a glorious satire worthy of Evelyn Waugh.
"In this corker of a satire on politics and culture (the author's fifth novel; the first to be published in the U.S.), Brian Marley is plunked down in the horrific jungles of Papua, New Guinea, to compete in Brit Pluck, Green Hell, Two Million, a diabolical survival-reality show. Our Everyman undergoes grueling ordeals and is close to death, yet remains the last man standing. Poised to exit, he witnesses the crash of the helicopters that would carry him to freedom, thus losing all contact with civilization. Dazed and seeking shelter, he discovers not mirage or psychosis, but a colony of British airplane crash survivors tucked away in a time warp since the late '50s. 'Just a jolly gang of boys and girls on our way out to the big Commmonwealth Public Schools jamboree in Adelaide' says the self-styled 'Vicar.' The resourcefulness that carried them thus far leads to their glorious repatriation, whereupon the colony's reactionary Headmaster ousts the British government, turns its social programs topsy-turvy and brokers a deal with the U.S. to become a colony. 'We'll be a damn sight freer and have a lot more clout as a state in America than in a United Europe.... We'll be dealing with our own sort in our own language, not with the ruddy Frogs through wop interpreters.' Sans two million pounds, sans cushy Foreign Office post proposed to keep him mum about ghastly goings-on back in the jungle and sans nubile blond beauty offered as spouse, our contemporary Candide eschews corruption and succeeds in 'making his garden grow' in a most satisfactory fashion. " Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"James Hawes has a growing reputation, richly deserved, for sharp and snappy satires...deliciously entertaining and uncomfortable." Independent on Sunday
"An assured, clever, raffishly inventive work." Guardian
"Completely barmy, and rather dementedly appealing." Evening Standard
"[C]onsistently inventive and entertaining." Daily Mail
"Speak for England gets progressively more amusing and intelligent throughout...the tone of the narrative is pitch-perfect." Observer
"Hawes is a brilliant and deadly satirist... His stinging one-liners evoke the crisp wit of Evelyn Waugh." Bloomberg
About the Author
James Hawes is the author of five novels including A White Merc With Fins and White Powder, Green Light. He lives in Cardiff.

Few Finer of the Entire Capped Bust Type
For much of their early history and well into the mid-19th century, gold quarter eagles were the Rodney Dangerfield of coins, "getting no respect" from mint personnel who were much more intent on producing the three workhorse coins of the early Mint era: copper large cents, silver half dollars, and gold half eagles. Walter Breen, speaking of the early days of the quarter eagle series in his Complete Encyclopedia, writes that "during this whole decade [1796-1807], quarter eagles were coined only in isolated driblets of a few hundred or at most a few thousand pieces. In most of these years, each date represented a new design modification--creating instant rarities and type coins. The problem is less why the coins are rare, why so few were made to begin with, but why any were struck at all! To judge from available Archives records, they were ordered on whim by a few local banks (principally the Bank of Pennsylvania and the Bank of the United States); to judge from the condition of survivors, they spent most of their time in vaults. Between 1803 and 1833, the Mint's major output consisted of cents, half dollars, and half eagles; all other denominations had a kind of poor-relative status--seldom called for, few made, little welcome."
The reverse die of the 1831 quarter eagle began as a new die for the 1830 issue, also known through a single die pairing, and that reverse continued in use through the single-marriage 1832, 1833, and 1834 With Motto issues. There are 149 dentils on the reverse, as compared with 147 on the obverse. The U in UNITED is recut, the large 2 in the denomination has a curved base, and there is recutting on the right lower upright of the I in AMERICA.
Harry Bass owned two examples of this date, as he did for all issues of the type except for 1832 and 1834, one each in proof and circulation-strike formats. John Dannreuther writes in Early U.S. Gold Coin Varieties: A Study of Die States, 1795-1834 that "there are so many coins of this date that nearly qualify as Proofs that even recent auctions listings must be taken with several grains of salt." In any event, suffice it to say that coins of this issue are frequently found both in high Mint State grades and with many, if not necessarily all, of the characteristics of true proof coinage.
The present example is one of only two pieces so graded of the issue at PCGS, with a single MS67 better at that service, while NGC has certified four coins in MS66 and none finer (11/07). This coin, of course, has great significance for the type or date collector of this elusive and much-melted series. For the entire Capped Bust quarter eagle type spanning the years 1808 through 1834, PCGS has certified only a dozen MS66 pieces, with another half-dozen finer--and, as always, including the inevitable possibility of duplication.
While the coin is extremely well produced, it otherwise shows few characteristics of a true proofs aside from near-pristine surfaces and a nearly full strike. All of the obverse stars show full centril details. There are a few tiny irregularities noted on the obverse dentils, undoubtedly present in the die as they are present on other coins of this issue including the Bass pieces. For example, a minuscule "extra dentil point" appears to have broken off near star 2, and a couple of the dentils underneath the 18 and last 1 in the date appear extra long and sharp. A small planchet indentation, near star 12 as struck, will serve as a pedigree identifier. A second small indentation appears on the reverse in the vertex between the rear of the eagle's neck and the right (facing) wing, along with some faint contact marks beneath the N in UNUM. A curious outline of mint frost is present around the devices, while the remainder of the coin shows bright, flashy prooflike fields. Rich yellow-gold color is seen over each side of this phenomenal coin.

My toddler is 2 years 8 months old. She goes to daycare but we just had another baby (5 days ago!) and I am thinking this is going to be a LONG maternity leave at home with both kiddos because I can't get my toddler to take a nap consistently. At daycare they don't have any issues getting her to nap. The weekends are usually hit or miss and she usually naps only 1 out of the 2 days. Anyways, the last few days we have had to fight her to take a nap. Today took a little over an hour and a half, yesterday she won and didn't get a nap at all.
So, my question...how many Marchies are still taking naps? Is she out growing it or do we just need to come up with a better system? We have a night time routine and she doesn't fight bedtime at all...some nights it just takes her a little longer to settle down but she is usually fine.
Thanks in advance!

My old life wasn't as glamorous as my webpage made it look.
I'm an out going and athletic guy. I'm always interested in meeting new people, and having fun adventures. I love the outdoors and sporting events. I work as a geologist, and I definitely work hard to play harder. I'm a foodie, and quite the amateur chef. I studied physics (think the "cool" guy they never show on the Big Bang Theory... as hilarious as those characters are, they are clearly caricatures of us), and I'm always down to learn and try something new. I joke around and try to make people smile and laugh as much as I can. Sometimes I'm sarcastic, occasionally witty, but I'm usually "inappropriately" joking. I can't stand taking yourself too seriously or being stuffy, so I hope you don't mind if we make fun of each other. I can't get enough of my OSU Buckeyes, and going back to the stadium means so much to me, although I'll probably never get to stand on that field again and look out at the crowd. I accomplish anything I set my mind to, and it's allowed me to pick up some very useful and useless skills. I used to have much more to say, but well I haven't had any success on this site, and so I will continue my search for that lucky lady offline. Good luck to everyone...

John Senden leads by 2 shots after 66
Updated: December 6, 2012, 6:30 AM ETAssociated Press
SYDNEY -- John Senden shot a 6-under 66 in calm morning conditions to take a two-stroke lead after the first round of the Australian Open on Thursday.
Senden had eight birdies but back-to-back bogeys at The Lakes, while Englishman Justin Rose, who birdied three of his first four holes, was level with Australians Kim Felton, Brendan Jones and Richard Green and Gareth Paddison of New Zealand after 68s.
Rose dropped his only shot of the day when he muffed a greenside flop shot on the ...

Inter Milan are not interested in re-signing unsettled Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli in January, according to club president Massimo Moratti. The Italy international is facing an uncertain future with the Barclays Premier League champions - who he joined from Inter for 22million euros in 2010 - after losing his place in Roberto Mancini's first team over recent weeks. The Nerazzurri's refusal to field Dutch midfielder Wesley Sneijder until he agrees to take a pay cut is one indication of a major cost-cutting exercise at the San Siro, with Balotelli's wage demands likely to be prohibitive to any permanent transfer or loan move. Speaking to the Gazzetta dello Sport at a conference in New York, Moratti said: "I really don't think that Balotelli will be coming back to Inter." A run of seven consecutive victories saw Inter enter the title race over recent months, but the Nerazzurri are now without a win in three outing and sit fourth in the Serie A table. "As far as I'm con...

Obesity, Adipokines and Metabolic Syndrome in Polycystic Ovary SyndromeCarmina E.

The complex mechanisms linking fat excess to metabolic syndrome are not well understood, but several experimental studies have shown that altered production of adipokines plays a main role in development and progression of this disorder. In particular, reduced secretion of adiponectin has a crucial role in inducing insulin resistance but also in determining the clustering of elevated triglycerides and small, dense LDL particles. Increased leptin secretion may be responsible for sympathetic nervous system overactivity and hypertension, while reduced omentin may have an important permissive role in the development of atherogenic processes. Finally, cytokines and other adipokines (resistin, visfatin) determine and modulate the inflammatory process that is an essential component of this condition of cardiovascular risk. Because obesity is prevalent in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), it is not surprising that patients with PCOS present altered adipokine levels and increased prevalence of metabolic syndrome. However, because of the presence of other CV risk factors (androgen excess), in PCOS adipokine dysfunction is particularly severe. Understanding and treating adipokine dysfunction in young women with PCOS is an essential component of any politics of prevention of CV diseases in the general population.

First presented in 2008, the Walter Payton Achievement Award is an honor given annually to a player from each school participating in the MEAC/SWAC Challenge.
Named in honor of the late Chicago Bears running back, three nominees from each school were selected by a committee consisting of academic advisers and coaches. Winners will be determined via online fan voting before the Sept. 5 game. Voting opens on July 20 and ends on Aug. 21, with the winners announced on Friday, Sept. 3.
Here are the nominees from each school:
Delaware State nominees
Andre Caroll, DT
Hometown: Neptune, N.J.
Major: Sport Sciences
Class: Senior
The senior co-captain and 2009 All-MEAC second-team selection led Delaware State in total tackles (56) and tackles for loss (7) and was third on the team with 2.5 sacks. The New Jersey native was also a proud member of the MEAC All-Academic team in his sophomore and junior years. "Andre has worked himself into one of the top defensive linemen in the MEAC," said coach Al Lavan. "He leads by example -- in the weight room, film room and classroom. He's an outstanding representative of Delaware State University and our football program."
Kevin Green, LB
Hometown: Chicago, Illinois
Major: Psychology
Class: Senior
Green joined the Hornets in the summer of 2009 after two seasons at Purdue. He had a solid campaign, recording 27 tackles (19 solo) in 10 games, and he is credited with a forced fumble and fumble recovery. The former North Chicago high school star has made quick work in a short amount of time. Said Lavan: "Kevin is a big-time athlete who performed well last year despite joining us right before the start of the 2009 season. I have no doubt Kevin will be a force on our defense this season. He's a fine example of the type of young man we desire for our team."
Larrone Moore, WR/KR
Hometown: Hyattsville, Md.
Major: Sports Management
Class: Senior
Moore was second on the Hornets in receptions (33) and receiving yards (315) in 2009, but his impact is bigger than just numbers. The former Northwestern High School multi-sport star was also an integral part of DSU's special teams. He was third in the MEAC and 16th in FCS in kickoff returns in '09. A three-year member of DSU's indoor and outdoor track and field teams, the speedster is a five-time IC4A champion (in the 100- and 200-yard dashes) and a member of the school's 12th-ranked 4x400-meter relay team in 2009. "Larrone is a superior athlete with game-breaking speed," said Lavan. "He has shown the ability and discipline to compete at a high level in three sports. His future is as bright as anyone in our league."
Southern University nominees
Jason House, DB
Hometown: Laurel, Miss.
Major: Mechanical Engineering
Class: Senior
In his first year, House led the FCS in interceptions with 10 and was the team's fifth-leading tackler in 2009 with 47. "Not only was he a first-team All-American, he has a GPA over 3.0 in mechanical engineering," first-year coach Stump Mitchell said of House, who was a little-used wide receiver in the previous season. "He's a true student-athlete."
Gary Hollimon, RB
Hometown: Gulfport, Miss.
Major: Psychology
Class: Senior
The former quarterback switched to running back last season and finished with 346 yards on 51 rushing attempts -- including a team-high six rushing TDs. "Hollimon had an outstanding first year after making the switch from quarterback to running back and averaged six yards a carry," said Mitchell. "I look for him to be a force to be reckoned with this season."
Ramon Chinyoung, OL
Hometown: Houston, Texas
Major: Therapeutic Recreation
Class: Senior
Chinyoung returns as the unquestionable leader of the offensive line. A first-team All-SWAC selection in 2009, he helped the Jags lead the SWAC in total offense (365.9 yards per game), second in passing offense (239.8) and fourth in rushing offense (126.1). "Chinyoung is an outstanding leader on and off the field," says Mitchell, "and he brings one of the hardest work ethics that you have seen."

Remote screening cut hospital readmissions, provided timely intervention
THURSDAY, May 1 (HealthDay News) -- Remote monitoring can improve the condition of mobile heart failure patients and may reduce hospital readmissions, according to a pilot study that included 150 patients admitted to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
The patients, average age 70, were randomly selected to receive usual care for heart failure (68 patients) or remote monitoring (42 patients). Forty of the patients declined to participate. The study was conducted by the Center for Connected Health, a division of Partners HealthCare.
The patients in the remote monitoring group received telemonitoring equipment to track vital signs such as heart rate, pulse and blood pressure. They weighed themselves daily and answered a set of questions about symptoms every day. The information was transmitted via the telemonitoring device to a nurse, who would call weekly or more often if a patient's vital signs were outside normal parameters.
After three months, patients in the remote monitoring group had lower average hospital readmission rates (31 percent) compared to patients in usual care (38 percent) and those who refused to participate (45 percent). The patients in the remote monitoring group also had fewer heart failure-related readmissions and emergency room visits than patients in the other two groups.
"The goal of our Connected Cardiac Care program for this group of patients is to reduce hospital readmissions, provide timely intervention and help them understand their condition using home telemonitoring," lead author Dr. Ambar Kulshreshtha, a research fellow at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, said in a prepared statement.
"Participating physicians are pleased with the program and consider it a success," said Kulshreshtha, who added that the initial data suggests that "Connected Cardiac Care is a w

For proper posture when standing, follow these tips:
Always maintain the three natural curves of your back.
Visualize an imaginary string running through your body; stand so that your ears, shoulders and hips are in a straight line.
Stand close to your work so you don't have to slouch over it.
Bend your knees slightly when you stand, and distribute your weight evenly on both feet.
Rest one foot on a low ledge, step or rail when standing for an extended time; switch feet every few minutes.
Wear comfortable, low-heeled shoes and stand on a floor mat.

Dallas Stars would not be if not for there franchise that is "Minnesota North Stars". Where is that on here. The Heritage Banner for NFL team "Titans" has the Oilers on it loud and proud. But they can not put the North Stars on this. What a shame. I am so disappointed in the NHL and Dallas for letting this sell. You all suck. I'm a long time Stars fan. I played hockey in high school and for the UMD Bulldogs because of the Notth Stars. But now all I can say is Go Wild.....
