Intelligence. Always in all ways.
Do I need to be on here?...Of course not, but I'm wanting to explore different options for having fun and meeting worth-wild people. At this juncture in my life, I'm wanting to start a meaningful relationship. Family comes first. Always. When it comes to relationships, due to my upbringing (in the Midwest), I'm fairly traditional. So hopefully you are too. Chivalry is definitely on life-support, but I'm always hopeful. At any moment, I can get elegantly dressed or throw my hair into a ponytail and do a Tough Mudder Run the next. Honestly, telling me how great you are means nothing if it's not followed by ACTIONS. Its nice to see that you're "witty, charming, down to earth, can scale mountains, and wrestle bulls," but I would like to see beyond the fluff and get to know the real person. I am a straight forward person, who steers clear of drama and fakes. I spend copious amounts of time just laughing, at myself mostly. I don't take myself too seriously. I appreciate honesty, even if I'm initially hurt by it. My body is in a long-term relationship with exercise, so I enjoy just about any indoor and outdoor activity.
Alumni connections , Business networking , Dining out , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Playing cards , Playing sports , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Cycling, Dancing, Other types of exercise, Running, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs
Shorty is the dog in my pics.
Middle of the Road
SF (depending on the season), Chi, Dallas, SD, Vegas (max 48 hrs), Pebble Beach to name a few
University of California, Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz, CA
On my days off, lounging around watching movies and sleeping, meeting new interesting people, and having bbqs with friends. Anything self improvement.
Any sort of self improvement, physical activity of any sort, Giants games, shopping for shoes, having a spa day, MUSIC festivals, low key parties, traveling (when I get the chance).

20 Facts You Probably Didn't Know About TV Shows Turned Into Movies
What's a summer movie season without the re-imagining of a few TV shows, a cop buddy movie or two and a slew of sequels?
What's a summer movie season without the re-imagining of a few TV shows, a cop buddy movie or two and a slew of sequels?
Some dude in Pittsburgh spent 42 hours alphabetizing every single word in 'Star Wars,' because why not?
Say what you want about Tom Cruise, but you keep seeing his movies.
So last week I found this super cool vintage film projector made in the late 1940's... an "Ampro Stylist 16mm". I purchased it at St. Vincent's Thrift Store at Montana and 27th Street for just $20. I was pretty excited when I plugged it in as all the vacuum tubes lit up.
Ready for a great way to spend the weekend?
I was at St. Vincent Thrift store on 27th St and Montana Ave today and found another great bargain. It's this late 40's Ampro Stylist 16mm movie projector.
With the latest X-Men movie opening in theaters today, isn't it about time you got to really know the mutants' universe?
It's long been common knowledge to 'Star Wars' scholars and David Lynch fans that the director was once offered a chance to direct 'Return of the Jedi.'
You think you might have seen all there is to see of 'Frozen,' but you haven't seen anything until you've seen it recut as a horror movie.
The big new remake of 'Godzilla' is finally here, and it marks the 60th anniversary of Japan's legendary nuclear monster.
By now you've seen a thousand versions of the song 'Let It Go' from 'Frozen,' but this one might be the cleverest. Any mom will recognize this mom's troubles.
Everyone, it seems, has their own idea of who Godzilla is.

Mid-Southerner Pinched By Economic Slide
By Candice Ludlow
Memphis, TN – A quick trip to the mall, park or even to work is now a cause to pause. With gas prices nearing $4.00 a gallon, the economy is tanking. Money's tight, and it's beginning to hit home for Mid-Southerners. Candice Ludlow talked with a successful, Mid-South, self-employed graphic designer whose life has taken a striking downturn. So much, that he now finds himself scouting the want ads.
Billy Maharrey and his wife are both self employed. Billy is a graphic artist who, until January, did ad layout for a group of Mid-South auto dealers. He worked from his home, greeted his 4-year-old each morning as she awoke, and earned a good living just south of Memphis.
But something happened in January. As the federal government began talking about an impending recession, gas prices shot past $3.00, credit got tighter due to the sub-prime meltdown, and food costs continued spiraling upward. Now, the auto industry is feeling the squeeze. For Maharrey, it means his client base has shriveled.
At first, Maharrey figured he'd pick-up a few new clients, but that didn't work.
As Billy Maharrey looks to steady his family's financial situation, he continues to work their vegetable garden on their 6-acre homestead, conserve gas, eat out less, and scour the classified ads.
The job market is tight, with Tennessee's unemployment up to 6.4 percent. FedEx, Memphis' largest employer, has issued a hiring freeze last week. The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis recently reported that retail and car sales are down, and the governor of Tennessee recently called for the voluntary layoff of 2,000 state employees.

Grave Marker
To indicate that the deceased was male, this grave marker consists of an upright post on top of a boat-shaped base. Grave markers for females have scalloped flat panels placed within the base. It is likely that the boat motif refers to the belief prevalent throughout Southeast Asia and parts of Melanesia that the deceased requires a boat to travel from this world to the next.

We are proud to have achieved the prestigious status of being an accredited hospital of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA).
The American Animal Hospital Association is the only organization that accredits animal hospitals throughout the U.S. and Canada. AAHA-accredited hospitals voluntarily choose to be evaluated on 900 standards. Hospitals accredited by AAHA must demonstrate an exceptional level of medical care and client service and they re-evaluated every three years to make sure they are keeping up with the industry updates.
Veterinary practices choose to become AAHA
accredited for a myriad of reasons, including the desire to improve practice operations and team building, update their skills, enhance their credibility with clients and strive for continuous improvement. Only a small percentage of animal hospitals in the United States, approximately 17 percent, are accredited by AAHA.

Almost everyone would agree that the image of the radio galaxy Hercules A (Figure 1), taken by the Karl J. Jansky Very Large Array radio telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope, is beautiful. Similarly, few would object to the statement that Vermeer's "Girl with a Pearl Earring" (Figure 2) is a breathtakingly beautiful masterpiece. But what is it that induces these responses in people? Is there a mathematical formula that can evaluate, even approximately, the beauty of images, objects, literary works, or pieces of music? Believe it or not, but in a book published in 1933, the famous mathematician George David Birkhoff (1884–1944) attempted to do precisely that—to develop a mathematical theory of aesthetic value. Birkhoff realized that there are many components to the concept of "beauty," and he attempted to discuss what he regarded as that intuitive feeling which is "clearly separable from sensuous, emotional, moral, or intellectual feeling." To that goal, he divided the aesthetic experience into three phases: (1) the effort of attention needed for perception; (2) the recognition of certain order; and (3) the appreciation of value—the reward for the mental effort. Birkhoff then took a stab at quantifying these three stages. He argued that the initial effort is proportional to the complexity of the object being observed, which he denoted by C. He called the order exhibited by the object O, and the assigned mental value, or aesthetic measure, M. He then suggested that within each class of aesthetic objects, such as flowers, vases, or pieces of music, one can actually define an order O (which may depend e.g., on symmetry) and a complexity C. Birkhoff's formula for the feeling of aesthetic value was then simply: M = O/C. In other words, for a given level of complexity, the more order the object possesses, the higher its aesthetic measure. Alternatively, for a specified amount of order, objects are considered more aesthetic if they are less complex.
Birkhoff would have been the first to admit that the evaluation of O and C was rather ambiguous. Still, he made a heroic effort to provide some guidelines and prescriptions for the case of simple geometrical shapes, and for ornaments, music, and poetry (e.g., of Tennyson and Shakespeare).
I must say that it would be rather difficult to apply Birkhoff's formalism to evaluating the beauty of images by the Hubble Space Telescope. However, in his words, this was merely an attempt to give "a simple, unified, account of the aesthetic experience," and Birkhoff hoped that it would provide "means for the systematic analysis of typical aesthetic fields." As I've noted above, Birkhoff did not even pretend for his formula to take into account the emotional and intellectual response that objects induce in viewers. Since there's no doubt that images of the universe elicit powerful emotional and intellectual reactions, we shouldn't be too surprised that Birkhoff's limited approach does not easily apply. A deeper understanding of what we perceive as beautiful will have to await a clearer elucidation of the way our brain operates. To quote (out of context) Shakespeare: "As truth and beauty shall together thrive."
3 Responses to "A Mathematical Formula for Beauty?"
I guess Birkhoff never heard the phrase "beauty is in the eye of the beholder?" As if anybody can agree on a definite standard of beauty. I believe Jackson Pollock's "One" is among the most beautiful works ever created. Many people think it's garbage. Which one of us is right? This is the dividing line between art and science. Science proposes that ultimately, there is one single objective viewpoint that explains everything, while art proposes that ultimately there are an infinite number of subjective viewpoints with their own individual merits.
How demeaning to human imagination to place C in the denominator. I would argue the appeal of the Hubble photographs demonstrates that C is in the numerator. Perhaps beauty is more the emergence of perceived order from complexity, e.g. the integral of O across the range of C……
In this intriguing piece, you have again brought forth work I had not encountered previously. Einstein could not have been influenced by Birkhoff's work, but seems to have had similar intuition to guide his creation of beautiful theories.

"They are trying to do something similar to Ajax. They bring top youngsters through and they are a big source of money. In future they will try not to sell all their young stars, but balance it out by selling one youngster and buying good players to win trophies.
"They have the best school for youngsters, far better than any other team in Portugal. In fact, I don't know if any team in Europe has the same conditions."
Stuttgart's Portuguese international defender Fernando Meira, formerly of Benfica, admitted: "Sporting put more into youth development than other clubs. The players go straight from school to the team. Of course Sporting get the benefit from that."
"Portugal has great players at youth level. Portugal have regularly won tournaments at under '17 and under '19 level and have won under '20 World Cups. It's just a shame that the national team hasn't gone further.
The best young players who progress to the 'B' team can join in certain training sessions with the first teamers in order to learn from playing with them, and this is usually extended to pre-season tours. It also gives the head coach a chance to see just how well those youngsters are progressing.
All coaches must have a solid foundation. Some are recruited from outside. Some continue their formation within the club. Jean Paul, for example, is qualified in physical education with specialisation in football. The scouting department is co-ordinated by Paulo Cardoso who attended the African Cup of Nations, as Sporting like to spread their tentacles far and wide.http://www.sabotagetimes.com/football-sport/the-cristiano-ronaldo-factory/

"This turned out so rich and beautiful! Multiple friends and family members texted/called and said that this was by far the most beautiful card that they received out of all of the holiday cards! My cards are always beautiful when ordering from Tinyprints. I always go with the trifold as well because it's different and beautiful."
"I am amazed at how many people have called me to compliment my on this Christmas card! Obviously, it has a lot to do with the darling subjects in the photo, but I used the matt finish and the professional design and quality were also mentioned in the compliments! Now, I just have to out-do myself next year!!! (and, order more)."

Thought I'd add what happened to mine yesterday. Since the road book mount for the 640 isn't really how I'd like I thought I'd see what I could build from stuff in the shed. Its not how I'd like exactly but it does have the ability to change in the future once I get my road book holder finished. Its steel at the moment and a bit heavier than I'd like, also I'll lose if I decided to get a closer look at the front wheel unexpectedly. There is plenty of space to fit the tacho, and I will fit a taller clear screen soon which the instruments will hide behind. Its made of 4mm alloy, a 40 x 20mm piece of delrin at the bottom with 10mm side plates, with a 20 x 40mm piece in the middle.
For what I am going to use it for (recreational stuff, nothing hardcore etc) this will probably do. I plan to use some of the ABS sheet I have lying around to make a cover similar in shape to the original cover (which housed the instruments) which will make it look closer to stock. There will be quite a few changes to this before it gets left alone, bolt diameters etc, but for now and with zero dollar expense I'm happy with how it turned out.
Plus there hadn't been a post here for a while and I thought this might spark a debate........
If ignorance is bliss, why aren´t more people happy?????

16 Columbus Blue Jackets (Andrew Ward):Ivan Barbashev
Ivan Barbashev is a powerful center standing at 6'0" and 185 pounds, he has some bulking to do but that will come with age. Barbashev has excellent anticipation and natural scoring ability; he loves playing in big moment situations and absolutely excels under pressure. Barbashev is a physical two way forward but his talent offensively is held in high regard. With his quickness and a great stride he reaches top speed very efficiently. Barbashev's shot is accurate and fast, complimented by his excellent playmaking ability, Barbashev can put up points in most situations. He has a similar two-way style that is reminiscent of Ryan O'Reilly, but with a better shot and physically dominating demeanor. He is comfortable in all situations, including PK and PP. Barbashev could make the jump in a year or two after some bulking up and AHL experience. Columbus would be hard pressed to skip a top Russian talent of this caliber that could be complimentary to, or complimented by a Ryan Johansen or even help Artem Anisimov ache the next level and spread the scoring more evenly for Columbus.
17 Philadelphia Flyers (Dobber): Kevin Fiala
The Flyers could use another solid goaltender in the pipeline as the cupboard is pretty bare, but taking one in the first round is not exactly their M.O. As tempting as Thatcher Demko is, the Flyers will pass on him. Instead, they will not only just go with the best player available - but they'll also fill their second biggest need. Skill and hustle on the wing, with upside. There's no denying Kevin Fiala's work ethic. The Philadelphia Flyers are happy to select, from Sweden, Kevin Fiala.
18 Minnesota Wild (Brendan Ross):Dylan Larkin
Presented with several remaining popular prospects among our scouts, our team is proud to select from the USA National Training Development Program Dylan Larkin. We are excited to add a player of Larkin's ilk and our team praises his industrious approach to the game showing great two-way acumen and a competitive drive, Larkin is a big center that will be welcomed into our organization. Larkin has shown us that he can make a difference by using his well-sized frame to work the tough areas of the ice and drive the net with a purpose. When presented with the chance to unleash a shot, Larkin shows little hesitation and hunger for scoring goals. Welcome aboard Dylan! We're thrilled to add a 200-foot player to our Minnesota Wild and see a bright future ahead of you.
19 Tampa Bay Lightning (Randy Buschmann):Travis Sanheim
With the #19 selection of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, Tampa Bay is pleased to select from Calgary of the Western Hockey League, defenseman Travis Sanheim. Sanheim has risen fast among rankings in the scouting community over the last six months, even appearing as high as 8th overall on Craig Button's final draft rankings. Tampa Bay will love Sanheim's complete package, he has the size, skating, hockey IQ, physicality and shot to be a top pairing defenseman in the NHL someday. Bare minimum, you're likely getting a second pair defenseman with Sanheim down the road. An all situations type defenseman, he's the kind of player you want on the ice in the dying seconds of a game whether you're down a goal or to protect the lead. Compares favourably to Brent Seabrook.
20 San Jose Sharks (Tim Graveline):Brendan Lemieux
With the 20th overall selection the San Jose Sharks are proud to call on Brendan Lemieux. He has high-end skill and the tenacity that will make him a very successful NHL player. He epitomizes the new direction the Sharks would like to take, as they know that it takes skill and heart to win championships. This is the first real attempt to shore up their perceived weakness in this area with a fairly bold pick. The Sharks have not had a truly skilled agitator and having Claude Lemieux as his father, Brendan could truly fulfill that role and become the same type of playoff hero his dad was. He can play on just about any line combination and provide room for those around him. With some coaching and maturity his game will be a very great asset to the Sharks as they go through their first rebuild.
21 St. Louis Blues (Eric Daoust):Alex Tuch
With the Blues having a generally weak prospects group, they are wise to pick the best player available here. That happens to be forward Alex Tuch who possesses the size, skill and toughness that the team covets in its quest to compete with the physically imposing Western Conference teams. Tuch has second-line upside but may have to serve a few years as a bottom-six depth scorer before working his way up the depth chart. His value may be limited to multi-category leagues.
22 Pittsburgh Penguins (Seth Brisendine):Joshua Ho-Sang
The Pittsburgh Penguins are happy to select one of the most skilled players in the whole draft, Joshua Ho-Sang. Ho-Sang comes with a few big question marks, there have been rumors about a bad attitude, and people have questioned his hustle in the defensive zone. While there are big question marks, Joshua's high-end potential makes him worth the risk. He has blistering speed, and very good puck-carrying ability. His offensive game has been described as electric. He brings possibly the most natural skill of all players in this year's draft. Something like that can't be passed on by an organization that is starved of winger prospect talent.
23 Colorado Avalanche (Andrew Ward):Nikita Scherbak
A surprising early round candidate in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft Scherbak came out of nowhere. Going late (extremely late) in the CHL import draft, not much was expected of Scherbak and the Saskatoon Blades. Scherbak made it a strong point to introduce himself to the rest of the WHL in a big way with 78 points in 65 games, his rookie year. Scherbak is a large 18-year-old at 6'2" and a lean 174 pounds. He is a hungry player and what some would call a coaches player. He wants to learn, he wants to absorb as much knowledge as he can, and he is very adaptable and has some of the best scoring ability in the draft. Scherbak plays with great physical intensity, he will hit, take a hit, strong arm, position, fight, battle, anything he can to protect the puck or create an opportunity. Another aspect of Scherbak's game is his speed, he accelerates quickly, has a strong first stride and hits top speed in a short distance. His zone play is good at both ends and defensively he has played admirably on a subpar Blades team. Scherbak is truly unselfish and has excellent leadership quality, he wants to win and doesn't care if he's assisting, scoring, or defending. He has deadly accuracy and is incredibly creative, creating scoring chances in unlikely areas. Scherbak has a lot the qualities the Avalanche could use and qualities that compliment the system they are trying to establish. Scherbak's coachability works great for Patrick Roy, his physicality, strength, and quickness would compliment a second-line scoring role next to One of Colorado's talented centers. Scherbak's versatility allows him to be an excellent option as a set up man and playmaker as well. Scherbak can use some bulking up but being a bit older and having decent size already he could probably step right into an NHL role.
24 Anaheim Ducks (Kevin Won):David Pastrnak
David Pastrnak is an elusive forward with a cerebral style of play. With a great shot and quick hands, he will be a dangerous offensive tool for any team who picks him up. He stands smaller than his style of play suggests, so hopefully he will be able to gain a few inches and really grow into his frame to play that dynamic power forward game that he could achieve. Currently playing against men in the Allsvenskan, he is more ready than a lot of other prospects in the 2014 draft class. Anaheim has drafted similar forwards in Rickard Rakell and Nick Sorensen; Pastrnak fits the same mould and Anaheim would love to take him at that spot.
25 Boston Bruins (Brendan Ross):Nikolay Goldobin
With a focus on adding another layer of offensive punch, GM Peter Chiarelli adds Nikolay Goldobin, an offensive forward capable of playing all three forward positions. Following in the lines of Bruins prospects Ryan Spooner, Goldobin comes via the Sarnia Sting, a place where he carried the offence. The slick Russian has some of the best puck skills and creativity of the entire draft class and his offensive upside may be among the best of the crop. While he's far from polished in the defensive end and at times he appears too lackadaisical in his attack, Goldobin is a cerebral attacker who is more than capable of developing a concentrated defensive commitment. He will never be a top penalty killer or physical force but his ability to operate a powerplay and read open seems is unmatched. The Bruins scouting team has been pleased with Goldobin's development on a team that has struggled to produce goals and his knack for stepping up in key games, didn't go unmatched. The Bruins are pleased to add a player of Nikolay Goldobin's ilk and absolutely love his high ceiling potential.
26 Montreal Canadiens (Eric Daoust):Adrian Kempe
It goes without saying that the Canadiens are always looking for size to add to their roster. Thankfully, they do not have to reach to get such a player as Swedish forward Adrian Kempe is still on the board. His speed and ability to drive to the net will also be huge assets to the club. He will need a couple years of additional development but could be a factor in Montreal before long as the team lacks NHL-ready forwards to eventually replace some of the aging forwards on the roster.
27 Chicago Blackhawks (Matt Donohue):Julius Honka
With the #27 selection of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, Chicago is pleased to select Julius Honka of the WHL's Swift Current Broncos. The perfect high upside pick the Blackhawks this late in the first round. Perhaps the most offensively gifted defenceman in this class, he lands in the perfect situation with a deep Blackhawks team where he will not be rushed into NHL action right away. Honka made a seamless transition to the North American game this past season, finishing fourth in WHL rookie scoring. Of course, as with all sub-6'0 defencemen, there are questions as to whether he will be able to handle the physicality of the game at the next level, especially in a tough Western Conference. But Chicago values having a strong puck-moving defenceman, especially with all the talent they possess up front. Has drawn comparisons to fellow Fin Kimmo Timonen, and should also be able to contribute on the powerplay like Timonen has for years.
28 Tampa Bay Lightning (Randy Buschmann):Vladislav Kamenev
With the 28th overall pick in this year's draft, Tampa Bay is happy to select Russian pivot Vladislav Kamenev. He's a strong skater with high-end hockey sense and already has above average size (6-2, 203 lbs.), which he uses to play either center or wing effectively. He's a playmaker with a physical edge, able to throw some big hits and protects the puck well down low. Kamenev doesn't project to be a top line forward, though he does project favorably as a top-9 forward in the NHL with potential for more. Unlike many Russian forwards there shouldn't be a concern of whether he can handle the North American-style of hockey. Tampa Bay bolsters their already deep system of forwards with yet another Russian gem. Kamenev could make an excellent complimentary player on an all-Russian line with Vladislav Namestnikov and Nikita Kucherov someday.
29 Los Angeles Kings (Pete Richmire):Nick Schmaltz
Los Angeles' weakest link is the center position and the dramatic drop off in production between the first and second lines compared to the rest. Schmaltz got on score sheets for 63 points (18-45-63) in 55 games for Green Bay and led the US squad in scoring in most tournaments he appeared in, including an MVP award and set the scoring record in the 2013 World Junior A Challenge with 12 points. Schmaltz is a smart player with above average puck-handling skills. He is a quick skater and at 6 feet tall, he is about the average height of an NHL forward. However, at 172 pounds, he is about 30 pounds lighter and it would benefit him to increase his mass but maintain his quickness, especially to deal with much bigger defensemen.
30 New Jersey Devils (Michael Riggi): Jakub Vrana
Hailed as a potential top 10 pick coming into this year Vrana stumbled out of the gate early however his play towards the end of the season was very encouraging. In particular a dominant U18 tournament where he scored eight goals in seven games for the silver medal winning Czech Republic, reminded all that he still has the offensive skill to take over. Since Kovalchuk's departure the Devils have lacked an explosive goalscorer and Vrana has the potential to fit the bill. He instantly becomes the Devils top offensive prospect.

For you sound card, it's ok. Just use a normal micro-ATX case, you can plug your card to the PCI slot, and attach your daugther card below on the chassis, can you not ?
The extra PCE-e 16x for the GT240 is a bigger problem. The Zotac IONITX-F has a PCi-e 16x but no PCI slots.
For your needs, maybe a normal micro-ATX or ATX motherboard with a Core 2 or Celeron is the best solution. This way you have a PCI-e 16x, 2 or 3 PCI slots ...
It will be bigger... I took the smallest solution I could find, but any case fitting a micro-ATX board will be bigger than a case specifically built for mini-ITX.

Egypt's Court of Cassation accepted appeals by former President Hosni Mubarak and his Interior Minister Habib al-Adly on Sunday, ordering their retrial.
A criminal court had sentenced the former autocrat and his interior minister to 25 years in prison for complicity in the killing of protesters during last year's uprising.
Adly's attorney, Essam al-Bastaweedy, saw Sunday's verdict as a victory for his client who will be retried along with his aides.
Mubarak stepped down in February 2011 in response to nationwide protests calling for freedom, social justice and dignity.

The partnership allows each organization to maintain its legacy and independence, while promoting clinical integration and care coordination. It does not involve a merger of assets or changes in ownership or control. The structure is designed to sustain and honor the members' local missions and governance authorities, while participating in a larger effort to lead needed changes in the health care system. The alliance also is designed to encourage additional health care providers in Iowa and contiguous states to join and participate in these important initiatives.
Examples of specific UIHA efforts include:
"We believe by working together we can achieve the necessary expertise and size – the skill and scale – to be successful into the future and to bring real value to our patients and communities," said Dan Kueter, CEO of the University of Iowa Health Alliance.
Doug Cropper, president and CEO of Genesis Health System, agreed saying, "Lowering costs and improving quality requires organizations to work together to share best practices, reduce variation, streamline care and, most importantly, improve the health status of populations of patients. We are excited to have so many of Iowa's hospitals and clinics committed to real improvement in their organizations and their communities."
Mercy – Cedar Rapids President & CEO Tim Charles noted, "We also want to provide the opportunity for other independent health care providers to associate with or use the accountable care infrastructure and services of UIHA. The beauty of this alliance is that each participant can maintain its independence while enjoying all the benefits of the larger network's capabilities and cost savings. The changes occurring in health care delivery and financing are daunting, and we all look forward to working together to create success in the future environment."
Jean Robillard, M.D., vice president for medical affairs at the University of Iowa, noted the alliance is a natural extension of the collaboration recently announced with Mercy – Cedar Rapids. "As I noted at that time, we share a commitment to providing access to high-quality health care with a focus on building healthier communities. This collaboration is an outstanding opportunity to extend UI Health Care's mission to serve all Iowans."
The executives said UIHA strives not only to provide value, but to create person-centered care in a better coordinated system. "We want to engage patients in new ways to help them maintain their health, thereby reducing their need for higher levels of health care services," said Dr. William Langley, Genesis Health System. "Each member organization brings successes to the larger group – successes in improving quality, in streamlining care, and in pro-actively working with patients to improve and maintain their health. Working together to reduce the variation and streamline care will benefit everyone – the patient, the payer and the community."

Lamborghini Expects Flat China Sales in 2013
Slowdown, Curbs on Luxury Spending Affecting Sales, Says CEO Stephan Winkelmann
NEW DELHI—Automobili Lamborghini SpA expects sales of its supercars in China to stay almost flat in 2013, after two consecutive years of runway growth, because of a slowdown in the economy and Beijing's curbs on luxury spending.
The maker of the Aventador and Gallardo supercars sold about 230 vehicles in China in 2012. Its sales rose about 30% each in 2012 and the year before.
Sales grew during January-August 2013 compared with the year-earlier period, but "by the end of the year, I forecast that [in China] we will be more or less on the same level as 2012," Chief Executive Stephan Winkelmann said Monday.
"China, for us, is a challenge right now," Mr. Winkelmann told reporters in New Delhi, without disclosing the number of cars it sold so far this year.
China is the second-biggest market for the Italian car maker, after the U.S. Its fast growth in China was helped by a growing number of millionaires who could afford luxury products such as those made by Lamborghini.
According to a March report by McKinsey & Co., the market for premium cars in China expanded 36% a year in the last decade, topping the 26% annual growth the country's overall automobile market recorded.
Sales of premium cars in China totaled 1.25 million in 2012, making it the second-biggest market for such vehicles after the U.S., said McKinsey, which forecast the Chinese market for premium cars to reach 3.0 million units by 2020. McKinsey categorized premium cars as those produced by companies such as Lamborghini, Ferrari SpA, Audi AG, BMW AG, Jaguar Land Rover, Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz unit, Porsche AG and Aston Martin.
However, a government clampdown on luxury spending to curb corruption and an economy that is growing at its slowest pace in more than a decade are putting brakes on luxury-car sales in China. Premier Li Keqiang has set a 7.5% growth target for the economy this year, the slowest rate since 1990.
"It is a bit more difficult to buy these types of goods and the market is not rising anymore," Mr. Winkelmann said about the Chinese luxury-car market.
However, Lamborghini is hopeful that a bounceback in the overall U.S. auto market would benefit supercar makers, he said.
The Volkswagen AG unit expects to sell more than 2,000 cars globally in 2013, almost the same as last year. It had reported a 30% jump in sales in 2012 to 2,083 cars.
Lamborghini estimates to sell about 600 cars in the U.S. this year, said Mr. Winkelmann, who was in New Delhi to inaugurate Lamborghini's second dealership in India.
The company's first dealership in India is in Mumbai, and it plans to add a third one in the southern city of Bangalore.
Lamborghini expects to sell 20 cars in India in 2013, up from 17 in 2012, and 15 in 2011. It has sold a total of 90 cars in India so far.
Mr. Winkelmann said India has a strong potential for growth in supercar sales, but factors such as inadequate road conditions and high taxes on imported cars are hindrances. "We have more Indian customers outside India than in India," he said.
The company has 120 dealers in 45 countries. The list includes 18 dealers in China, three in Australia, four in Japan, and one each in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.
Although Lamborghini cars are more immune than sedans and small cars to slowdown in economic growth and factors such as fuel prices and borrowing cost which are hurting auto sales in many markets, the company is facing business risks from high import taxes in several countries as well as from increasingly stringent vehicle-emission rules and the entry of new rivals, Mr. Winkelmann said.
India, for instance, raised the import tax on luxury cars and sport-utility vehicles to 100% from the start of this fiscal year in April from 75%. Last year, the tax was raised to 75% from 60% on these vehicles, which are classified as costing more than $40,000 and with gasoline engines of at least 3.0 liters or diesel engines of 2.5 liters.

Cisco StackPower: Efficient Use of Power
Date Added: Mar 2010
Format: PDF
The benefits of the Cisco StackPower technology are immediately tangible, and so are the savings. Consider a stack of switches with each switch requiring a slightly higher power budget for some extra Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices randomly scattered in the stack. Purchasing extra second power supply for each switch that needs some additional power would be inefficient and expensive. With the Cisco StackPower solution, a common pool of power is made available and additional power can be automatically redirected to the appropriate switch based on the available power budget in the common power pool.

The Detroit Red Wings have submitted an offer to free agent defenseman Carlo Colaiacovo, True Hockey's Andy Strickland reports. Colaiacovo spent last season with the St. Louis Blues, tallying 19 points in 64 regular season games. While he has dealt with injuries throughout his career, he would bring a boost to the Red Wings' blue line that needs a replacement not just for Nicklas Lidstrom, but for Brad Stuart as well. Colaiacovo has become more and more sought after since Ryan Suter signed with the Minnesota Wild. He has also reportedly received offers from the New York Rangers, Carolina Hurricanes, Philadelphia Flyers, and Calgary Flames Check out other great articles at Sports Media 101.

Nudity, Nazis and nipple-slicing: 12 controversial opera productions

The Royal Opera House rape scene disgusted its audience. But it did not move them | Deborah Orr
It's easy to cause outrage, as the booing of the William Tell production showed. The real challenge is to make the cruelty on stage spark meaningful emotions
The first time I went to the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, about 200 years ago, the audience booed at the end of the production. I say 200 years ago; it was actually 1991, and a not overly admired revival of Meyerbeer's Les Huguenots.
At the time, I knew no different, and just thought this was how grand opera audiences behaved – like hooligans. The next day, however, the scandal was on the front page of the Daily Telegraph. It's a big deal when the members of a Covent Garden audience start behaving as though they're still members of the Bullingdon club.Continue reading...
The Tchaikovsky competition: time to correct an historic anomaly
Research by pianist Kirill Gerstein has revealed that the standardly performed version of Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto differs substantially from what the composer actually wrote. It's a shame this year's competitors haven't taken the opportunity to perform the authentic version
Today's third and last instalment of the final round of the piano division of the Tchaikovsky competition will feature Daniel Kharitonov and Dmitry Masleev. Both play two concertos on the same evening, following hard on the virtuosic heels of Sergey Ridkin, George Li, Lucas Debargue and Lukas Geniušas (you can watch all of their performances here), and their performances will undoubtedly bring the usual deluge of double-octaves, pianistic pyrotechnics and bruised egos. And yet amid all the performances of Tchaikovsky's music (each of the six finalists must play one concerto by Tchaikovsky, plus one other barnstorming showpiece of their choosing), and despite the fact that five out of the six have chosen by far Tchaikovsky's most famous concerto, the First, you won't actually be hearing the piece the way the composer himself knew it. In other words, the "Tchaikovsky First Piano Concerto" that every pianist plays is not the same version of the piece that the composer himself conducted for his last concert in St Petersburg's Philharmonia (the hall where the violin division of the Tchaikovsky also has its ultimate concert tonight), just days before his death in 1893.
It's one of the most egregious anomalies in the history of classical music's warhorses, and it's thanks to pianist Kirill Gerstein and his recent recording that the version that Tchaikovsky actually played and conducted can finally reach a bigger audience. The facts, as Gerstein reveals are these: Hans von Bülow premiered the work in Boston in February 1875, in a version that Tchaikovsky was reluctant to change, even in the face of criticism from pianist and conductor Nikolai Rubinstein. The Russian premiere came in October 1875, when Sergei Taneyev played it with Rubinstein conducting, the latter's doubts apparently assuaged. Tchaikovsky himself made some changes to the score after this performance, as Gerstein says, changes that "made it more sonorous and playable while leaving both the musical material and the overall structure intact". This version was published in 1879, and this was the text of Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto that stood for the rest of the composer's life.Continue reading...

Despite a 0-5 start to this season, New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning still believes his team can make the playoffs.
"Yeah because (the division is) wide open and obviously we're two games back right now," he said per Newsday. "Obviously we've got to play better football and do those things, but we still feel that we can get hot."
"You never know," Manning said of how things work out. "You never know in this situation, but this is the situation we're in. We've got to play through it and just do whatever it takes."
With 11 games to go in the season and four of those within the NFC East, there's a chance the Giants can make a run if they're able to magically fix the problems they currently have.
But at the end of the day, I wouldn't hold my breathe. The Giants need to find their running game, an offensive line that can block and a defense that can provide a pass rush.

Several studies have linked trends in prescribing medication and topical use of fusidic acid (FA) to development of resistance. However, few case–control studies have evaluated risk factors for developing FA resistance in S. aureus. Previous recent topical FA use correlated positively with FA resistance in S. aureus. Prescribing physicians must be vigilant of the rise of FA resistance and its resultant problems and prescribe topical FA discerningly.
