Here's a link of Elon's stock & grant incentives, reflective of Tesla's goals.
Examples of some possible shareholder questions of Tesla's top management at thereshareholders meeting:
1) How long will Elon stay as Tesla's CEO ? How many years ?
2) Is management doing long range planning for CEO succession at Tesla similar to what Jack Welch did at GE and what Warren Buffet is doing currently ?
3) What qualities would a successor CEO to Elon have to have , and who are some people that would qualify ?
4) Will Elon consider staying as CEO untill car production is at 1 million cars a year or more ? Will he stay untill at least two Tesla car manufacturing plants are built, each producing 500,000 cars a year or more ?
5) If Elon builds a 2nd car plant from the ground up, for electric cars, will it be as revolutionary, visionary, modular, expandable & efficient as the Model S ?
6) would Elon ever consider merging Tesla & Solar City for store marketing and other efficiencies ?
7) is Elon still considering creating a holding company for all three of his ventures and how would that work for stock investors ?
Elon has already answered succession questions to the extent that he is no planning to sell, merge or depart until GEN III is on the road.
Questions I would have:
1. Now that Google's Sergey Brin has announced that he is focusing on autopilot for cars, when should we expect to see those features on the Model S, X or GEN III?
2. Will the repayment of ATVM loan accelerate Supercharger installation? Rollout of Model X? Gen III?
3. What concrete benefits will buyers of Tesla cars see as a result of the early DOE loan payoff?
4. When can we expect to see the change from 3.1ah to 3.4ah or 4.0ah battery technology?
5. When will we get an idea about the rollout of Supercharging infrastructure in Asia, Japan, Europe and the rest of the world?
I would combine questions 2 & 5 of yours into one question.
I might also ask Tesla mgt about this new aluminum air battery, and what that's all about.
I would ask Elon:
1. Has Tesla ever considered going into other transportation industries such as producing air planes, freight trucks, trains, buses, or even the "hyperloop" he mentioned before, since his ultimate goal is to revolutionize the world energy consumption rather than just building the best electric cars?
2. If there was such plan, what's the projected timeline.
3. How might Tesla accomplish any of such plans.
I want to ask about the Hyperloop. So bad. He said he'd say more after "profitability" so . . .
If you want him to talk about aluminum battery extender, you have to mention it in the context of their patent filing.
Also SWAP? Is it possible with the current Model S?
I expect the Hyperloop would be a new company. It's neither ground nor space, something else. Needs its own builders and boffins.
He talked about it costing 1/10 as much as high speed rail.
The slowest and most expensive high-speed rail in the world, is the worst way to be referred to.
+1 on patent reference, battery swap, & auto-pilot.
I also know Elon has only committed to staying at Tesla untill GenIII is out and production is at 300,000. That's also where his incentives run out.
So if I could choose just one question I would like to see a fund manager or large shareholder ask Elon if he would consider staying CEO beyond this current commitment in the interest of long term and new investors. For example see my initial #4 post under the thread title.
If Elon stays until 300,000 vehicles built in one factory, I believe that takes the stock to $300 to $500 a share. However, if he stays longer, till there are two factories and production is at 1 million cars a year, I believe that takes until 2020-2022 and pushes the stock price over $1,000 dollars a share, and possibly $1500 if the balance sheet numbers are exceptional.
I believe that a bigger company would make succession much easier with a bigger company that has more money to invest in expansion.
+1 on Musk staying on longer (+ new round of incentives)
If Musk were to stay on to 2+ factories with large car counts, I firmly believe we could then be talking about an acquisition OF a major international luxury nameplate.
GM, Ford, Chrysler can swim with the minnows ---- Tesla will be in a completely different league.
I think Elon will stay on until Space X is ready to take him to Mars. All of his shares vest at those benchmarks, but I'm not convinced he just sells it all to some other entity that could screw it up. Think Bill Gates and MSFT
If you are right on share price and with his 30-40M shares, he'll be in the top 10 richest humans on earth. Not counting the value of SpaceX or Solar City.
On CNBC Elon dropped that demand of 50,000-60,000/year as of today. 20K U.S., 20K EU, 20K rest of world. 100,000 units/year of S & X by 2014 seem baked in (but not into the share price).
What I'd really like to pin EM down on is whether he sees a PILOT version of the tesla in addition to the autopilot.
And to belabor the point, will you be able to call your car and have it drive to you. Elon keeps discussing AUTOPILOT, which allows more human detachment than any other automaker (other than audi) is planning to allow. Toyota, Ford, GM etc are all hedging ala hybrid vs pure electric.
Once a car can drive itself without human intervention, then the NEED for as many cars per person drops.
Elon doesn't care since his goal is to electrify transportation through whatever means are necessary.
I'd like to know when a GenIII prototype will be shown, and whether they are thinking of a hatchback like the S or not.
They key drivers for the Model S. X demand are battery, SC deployment and price. We know about SC deployment. What are the promising battery technologies over the horizon? What their potential energy density? Cost/KW-hr? Potential of Nanotechnology on Lithium batteries? Supercapacitors? Time frame.
Can the Tesla factories achieve the same economies of scale as Toyota, etc? Bring the cost of the car excluding the battery close to a comparable Toyota?
Now that Tesla Motors is not allowed to sell EV's directly to customers in Texas, I would like to know how Tesla Motors is going to tackle this issue? Have they already thought of something? How are they going to react?
They sell online, register the sale in California, and ship to Texas. NC attempted to ban any online transactions. That is likely unconstitutional.
If Elon becomes the richest person in America for successfully reinventing EV cars, Solar, space rockets, hyper loops , planets and who knows what else, then he truly deserves it. And I'm sure he'll put the money to good use through foundations etc. I believe he already committed to giving a lot of his wealth to charities al same as Bill Gates & Warren Buffet. How about the 1st Martian College of Planetary Sciences ! Be a bit pricy, but people could go to Mars and get a degree in a few years and come back to Earth.
And when Elon retires on Mars, maybe he'll get into politics ! Make his Mars colony the 51st state and Elon the first Congressman from Mars ! The commute to Washington might be a bit far though.
@ Brian H
What will happen to the stores/galeries in Austin and Houston?
As no sales activities are allowed there anymore.
I wonder if people Texas will keep this in mind at the next elections?
But I don't want to make Mars the 51st State. It needs to have it's own government, rules and citizenship.
Martian citizenship.
Can you imagine Texas having a say in what happens on Mars?
"And to belabor the point" cont'd from SamoSam,
In regards to "AutoPilot 1.0" , I think it could be a great way to differentiate the first GenIII cars and create massive appeal worldwide.
For starters AutoPilot 1.0 need only be partial autopilot , which might help ease people's fear about it. For example:
1) AutoParking for GenIII.
Already here now in a few cars, only this would be better. You could have speed adjustment for slow to faster AutoParking. As you got more confidence in the system , you could let it park itself faster. Anti-crash features prevent it from hitting anything.
Here's the cool part. In a really tight space, the system lets you get out of the car, then the car parks itself. Perhaps a mini Laser light in the FOB key chain lets you laser point to where you want the car parked.
The coolest part, is when you're ready to leave, you can't physically get into the car cause it jammed tight in a stall. Just push a button on the key, point the laser where you want the car, and the car unparks itself for you ! Amaze your friends !
2) Advanced AutoPilot Cruise Control.
People might be a little afraid to AutoPilot through congested cities, and I've seen a lot of very confusing construction sites with barrels everywhere with conflicting road lines painted over older road lines etc. So make the AutoPilot software and sensor updatable for that later. This will help speed up the rollout of this partial AutoPilot.
This Advanced AutoPilot Cruise Control is a concept people are already familiar with; only much, much better. It's for Interstate driving, you set the speed. It will pass cars and maintain speed up & down hills more efficiently, and smoothly than a person so you save battery energy savings of 3 or 4 %. And you can even set following distance, short or long (4-8 seconds), to feel the most comfortable, in case you have to take control (e.g. at a construction site), the same as you would with regular cruise control. This will help people gradually ease into the full AutoPilot later on.
If its snowy or rainy out, sensors automatically slow down and/or increase following distance to maintain traction and avoid hydroplaning if sensors detect tire slippage.
3) AutoPilot Crash Avoidance with infrared heads up display. In severe rain, snow or fog, the heads up system or dash screen, displays weather obscured road with road lines, and obscured cars with heat detection. If there is a hidden pile up, the system slows and stops the car.
To sum up, I think the future is bright for AutoPilot. I believe a partial AutoPilot would speed up the introduction of some features and gradually get people used to the idea. Possibly we could see all these partial AutoPilot 1.0 features in the GenIII cars giving them great appeal and differentiation.
The system could be designed to be upgradable to full AutoPilot 2.0 when available. Until then the 1.0 version provides data for the harder driving parts of a 2.0 system.
And AutoPilot cars have just as great appeal to businesses who may want to deliver stuff to you. I read Google is designing a car for UPS type deliveries. The same routes are used so that would improve safety in more complicated city areas.
Amazon wants to get into grocery delivery same thing.
Some day it may be possible for both you and your Full AutoPilot car to go to work and have jobs. Your car drops you off at work, then your car goes to work for Amazon making deliveries, earning you rental money to help pay for the car. And Amazon charges your car for free before the car is finished work at Amazon & picks you up after work.
Supermarkets could compete by receiving your AutoPilot car and packing it with groceries you ordered, and charge your car for free as well.
An Internet company, could use your AutoPilot car for taxi service while your at work, giving you some of tge proceeds and cut their capex costs.
Business use of full AutoPilot cars could greatly increase sales over and above retail sales.
Possibilities will just keep multiplying as full AutoPilot comes closer to reality. But starting with version 1.0 Partial AutoPilot for GenIII is a good way to get started, in my opinion.
Maybe Elon could re-invent government , I don't know all the possibilities here, but there could be lots of Mars government options.
Or maybe Elon invent a solar power pack on which, is place in the trunk and can be switch on when it needed the battery to recharge.
I don't know the details, but the workaround for stores and galleries so far has been to avoid all mention of price and purchase so far. Long-term, more legal and legislative battles.
Well if Texas is still dragging it's feet about direct sales of EV's when Tesla starts making their all electric truck, then I have a marketing suggestion. A sort of protest. See what you think.
Give the Texas pickup truck a Texas marketing name or code name . Names like Texas Longhorn, The Alamo, Texas Bulldog, Texas Wild Javelina, Texas Bullfighter, Texas Matador , Texas Cattleprod, Texas Bullherder, Texas Rodeo, Texas Lasso/Lariat l, Texas Bullrider , etc.
Using Texas in the name might help segway into and publicize a discussion on the direct sales problem in Texas, especially among Texans who might get upset when they can't test drive what might be the world's best pickup truck. Then Texans might start calling their state representatives.
As a brand, the word Texas is marketable nationally in the U.S.
I am in the camp that thinks co-pilot, autopilot and pilot features are coming sooner, rather than later.
Google at +5000,000 miles in testing.
California MANDATORY rulemaking by no later than 1/1/2015 allowing autopilot. (http://cyberlaw.stanford.edu/wiki/index.php/Automated_Driving:_Legislati...)
Much as I like the Segway, the word you want is segue. Sounds the same, tho'.
Well Texas & NC might require dealerships for Segways as well, you never know.
I was also reading at TeslaMotorClub.com that someone suggested Tesla rent their cars in these hostile auto dealer states by the hour or day, whatever, so people could get to drive the car. I guess if they bought the MS, then the rental fee would be discounted off the price.
So let's start the MS sales to car rental companies in North Carolina & Tx, give the rental companies there a real good price.
Then when people in NC find out that they can't buy the world's best car, only rent it, they're really going to be PO'd.
I didn't think this idea at TMC was a bad idea, didn't get any response though.
And let's not forget intelligent 4WD is coming as well, it outperforms any other 4WD, available with the Model X in 2014.
I didn't mention 4WD because he's already mentioned it (many times) before. I only listed things that were new or things that had changed in some way.
I listened the 2013 Annual Meeting. They have done just about everything right, including taking advantage of the shorts, moving quickly to raise $1.1B in equity and convertibles. Instead of just chasing revenues, they are taking the time to redesign the Model S to facilitate mass production. They are also investing capital to further automate the factory. Looks like they are getting the kinks out of the Model S before starting with the Model X. Gen III is a big question, but Tesla does not need state to boost earnings, IMO. They got to the SC deployment plan.
The key to explosive explosive demand and profits just based on Model S, X are:
1. Economies of scale - Excluding the battery pack, Model S, X - including the electric motor - are relatively simple to manufacture. The price of the electronics will drop with Moore's Law. In a $100k car, excluding the battery pack, the remaining cost is $70k. With automation, the cost here could drop by 50-60% or more.
2. Battery tech - Panasonic got to be giving Tesla volume price breaks as well as reducing the price at the current battery tech matures... I would say, 10-20% over 2-3 years. If Tesla can deliver a 500 mile battery for cars in the 75-100k price range and move the 85 KW-hr to the $60k-70k price range, then demand will explode. Add a few refinements like smart cruise control, proximity sensors, anti-collision tech, etc.
In conjunction with the SC deployment, the company would be unstoppable. Certainly not by some inbred Texas redneck car dealers. Even Texans are not going listen to their government blocking Tesla. The ban may have an opposite effect!

Boston University Office of the Executive Director of Public Safety
Campus Safety Message
September 2, 2014
Dear Students, Faculty and Staff of Boston University:
Welcome back!
I hope that you will take full advantage of the exciting events happening across campus and in our local community this fall. I encourage you to experience all the culture and diversity that our community has to offer and, while at the same time, I urge you to make informed choices when it comes to your personal safety and security.
This weekend and throughout the fall semester, the Boston University Police and the Boston Police will have additional patrols dedicated to our campus and adjacent neighborhoods. These patrols will be focused on identifying potential threats, and to ensure that individuals who present a danger to others are dealt with, swiftly and appropriately. The Boston Police and Boston University Police departments will share information and collaborate to assess, investigate, and address any public safety issues. We will be monitoring off campus gatherings to curb dangerous drinking, underage drinking, and other activities that are unlawful and potentially dangerous.
Additional police presence is certainly helpful in crime avoidance and increased safety for the community, but each of us also shares responsibility in this effort. Student safety begins with self-aware and safety conscious individuals who not only look out for their own safety but the safety of their fellow students. We urge you to consider a few often-repeated important safety tips:
• Travel with others (especially at night);
• Remain alert to your surroundings;
• Walk in well-lit, heavily traveled areas; avoid alleyways and deserted areas (such as parking lots);
• Avoid using cellular telephones and other electronic devices which could divert your attention from your surroundings;
• Be cautious of strangers who approach you
We also urge you to review the safety advice provided on the University's campus safety website (www.bu.edu/safety). Please make sure you have an immediate way to contact the Boston University Police by programming our emergency number (617-353-2121) into your smartphone, and take the time to review the news section on the homepage of the Boston University Police website each week. I recommend you download to your mobile device a free app called "BU Mobile" that contains emergency buttons for calling and texting the BU Police as well as a directory, calendar, course listings, maps, and real time monitoring of the BU shuttle bus service.
The continued diligent efforts of the BU Police along with our public safety partners in the surrounding communities, combined with your diligence, are vital to the collective safety of our community. I ask that you make your personal safety, the safety of your fellow students, and the security of your property, a high priority as we begin this new academic year.
Contact the Boston University Police Department (firstname.lastname@example.com; 617-353-2110, text a tip: 847411 Keyword BU) with any questions or concerns.
Remember…if you see something, say something!

The Graduate Program in Forensic Anthropology, within the Division of Graduate Medical Sciences at Boston University School of Medicine has been invited to participate in a multi-site international taphonomy (decomposition) study to establish the natural decomposition of tissues from day zero until they become fully skeletonized or mummified. BU's team, including Program Director, Dr. Tara Moore, Associate Director, Dr. Donald Siwek and Board Certified Forensic Anthropologist Dr. James Pokines has committed to the placement of 10 pigs in their decomposition field, located on 32 acres in Holliston, MA. They will be documenting temperature, rain and the progression of decomposition. The data collection includes recordings of a Total Body Score subject to a graded scale for the head and neck area, trunk and limbs. The ultimate endpoint is when samples achieve full skeletonization and the decomposition process has come to a stop. This particular project is expected to reveal how decomposition is affected by temperature changes around the globe and contribute to the understanding and interpretation of taphonomic data.
Along with Boston University, The Taphonomic Research in Anthropology: Centre for Experimental Studies (TRACES) has invited 4 other institutions, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, University of Central Lancaster, U.K., Turkish Police Forensic Laboratory-Ankara Turkey and The Ministry of Justice-Bangkok, Thailand.
The Forensic Anthropology program at BUSM is designed to train individuals in the theory, practice, and methods of biological and skeletal anthropology employed by forensic anthropologists in medicolegal death investigations. Students receive extensive training in osteology, forensic anthropological techniques and procedures, forensic anthropology field methods, biological anthropology theory, taphonomy, human anatomy, crime scene investigation and methods of human identification. This is a full-time 42 credit Master of Science program. To learn more about this program and others, please visit the Graduate Medical Sciences website.

80 Reviews
We stayed for two nights in this guesthouse and everything was nice, just as stated in the description. I would like to say a special thanks for detailed text description of how to reach the house, as GPS maps usually do not know the names of small moroccan streets or have arabic names only. It's a good authentic place located in the very centre, so I can recommend it to anyone.
Riad Eva is actually rather nicely done. The rooms are very simply, but do the job - comfortable bed, clean bathroom (although shower curtain would be useful) and lovely roof terrace where you have breakfast. Don't expect a hotel concierge/reception style service but the staff (when you see them) are friendly and all in all it is incredible value for money given the brilliant location just by the djemaa el fna and souks.
Room on upper floors are much more airy as circulation/damp is a little problem so try to get one of them. We were put up for one night in his other Riad, which didn't seem to be as well done up and the room we had there was pretty dingy and run down.
Le logement est parfaitement situé.
Pour 15 € (demandé par mail la veille de l'arrivée) un taxi nous attendait à l'aéroport.
L'accueil est très sympa.
Sur la taille des chambres : il y en a de diverses tailles. On a pu changer le deuxième jour, et c'est très bien.
Cependant, même les plus petites sont largement vivables. Les espaces extérieurs sont nombreux, propres.
Vraiment un excellent rapport qualité/prix
A conseiller...
The room we had did not have air conditioning as the listing claimed, however, it was supposed to have a fan in there but we did not know this and suffered greatly on a night where the temperature was 100 degrees F in Marrakech. We opened the window but it was extremely noisy in the street until 1am. The room though was comfortable and we have no complaints about that, just make sure to stay here on a cooler day.
Very nice riad in a quiet area, but short way to Djemaa el fna. Our room was clean and suitable for two. The rooftop terrace with breakfast was wonderful. Radouane helped us with informations and was great host. We like his place and recommend!
This is a very comfortable riad in an excellent position a few minutes from the square (the centre of all the action). It is down a quiet lane but the room (that we had) next to the street can be a little noisy at night. Radouane and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was basic but ok. The lighting in our room was very dull but the bed was very good and the shower had plenty of hot water. The ambiance was excellent. We enjoyed our stay here an can recommend riad (website hidden) if you book a tour through the riad make sure you ask for the "best price" and be prepared for moroccan time!
Really nice, clean room. Helpful staff. Good location. Would definitely stay again or recommend to others.

VIDEO: Reverend Horton Heat jams at House of Rock Thursday
CORPUS CHRISTI - Jim Heath isn't just the frontman of the Dallas-based group, the Reverend Horton Heat, he also is the self-proclaimed pastor of Punkabilly, and a former Ray High School student.
Heath said he always gets a little sentimental when he does a local performance.
The Reverend Horton Heat will perform at 7 p.m. Thursday at the House of Rock.
"I had a really dear friend drive me around our old neighborhood," Heath said. "I saw the house I used to live in when I was a kid. We drove by our old haunts and I got to see how some things changed and how other things stayed the same in some respects. It was pretty cool. I love going down to Corpus (Christi)."
He also loves to play the historic Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco.
The Fillmore is where the Reverend Horton Heat decided to record the group's latest project, "The Reverend Horton Heat: 25 to Life." The project, which was released in August under the Yep Roc Records label, was recorded live in 2010 and includes a DVD containing interviews, plus the live album and a compilation CD complete with several studio recordings.
The box set also has a 52-page booklet with pictures and stories that span the band's 25 year career.
The band, which also is made up of Scott Churilla on drums and Jimbo Wallace on bass, decided to record at the famed venue not only for its aesthetic value, but also the crowd it would attract.
"The main reason is because it is a beautiful venue," Heath said. "Red velvet curtains encase the room with chandeliers. It's really classy looking and it is such a historic venue and the people there really love music."
The aesthetics were only part of the reason for the venue choice.
"The people are more I guess respectful," he added. "We knew we were going to get great music fans and not get a lot of people slinging beer and getting into giant barroom brawls. Just stuff like that."
A great deal of effort went into the project, Heath said. A lot of time was invested in putting the interviews, pictures and features together for the booklet. There was a lot that went into recording, mastering, editing and setting up the set list as well.
Even now that the box set has just recently hit the shelves, Heath is once again putting together more material for a studio album set to be released somewhere in the future. The biggest problem Heath and the band face in getting a new project released is time. Even though they've backed off a little on their touring, going from more than 200 shows a year to a little over 130, the schedule is still grueling.
The reason for the band's decision to take fewer gigs is just so the guys can spend more time at home.
"It's just basically about having family and kids," Heath said. "We love playing music. Even backing it down, we're still one of the hardest working bands in history. We're not exactly slowing down, it's just not as insane as it used to be."

In Born to Battle, Sallie Chesham described the "Slum Sisters"—a group of nineteenth century American Salvation Army women who went into the darkest neighborhoods with the compassion of Christ. "They spent their days in house-to-house visitation," wrote Chesham, "doing whatever needed to be done, ready to scrub, drive out rats, tend a jaundiced woman, bathe a dead baby and arrange for the funeral, deal with a drunken father, chat with distressed boys and girls. The Bible was in their pocket and a prayer on their tongue."
Too often we shy away from the darker, dirtier places where God's love is most needed. Jesus went everywhere. He touched the lepers, entered graveyards in search of demoniacs, talked to despised Samaritans, and wept by the tombs of the dead. His grace can reach the darkest places with the light of His message.
Wherever the Lord sends you, He will go with you. He will use you.
They grew accustomed to the worst aspects of life and quickly discovered that God's love, as shown by a helpful dust cloth or a scrub brush or a bar of soap, or more simply, a cup of hot tea, was usually more welcome than when expounded from a pulpit.

I would guess because Facebook (and Instagram, to respond to Jimneezy) didn't come out this year. This vote seems to be more for apps that debuted in 2011.
Vote now for the social networking app of the year [2011 TiPb Awards]
Not content with having one of the most popular apps in the history of iOS, Facebook launched a second -- Facebook Messenger to create a quicker, cleaner path to owning your conversations. While Facebook as diversifying, LinkedIn was differentiating, releasing a new version of their app with their own, finally unique take on the social experience.
Path also released a new version with a bold, breathtaking new user experience and slightly more picturesque and timeline based focus. Apple added yet another separate social network to their portfolio, this time Find my Friends which offers very fine grained privacy control wrapped it more stitched leather than a puffy couch. And Google got into the game in a huge way with Google+.
Twitter for iPhone shed it's Tweetie heritage and while power users howled, it just might have become more usable for the mainstream. Luckily power users had plenty of places to turn with Tweetbot offering an entirely different take, with that trademark Tapbots look and increasingly deep functionality, and Twittelator Neue offering eye-popping animation and amped up interactions.
Verbs also did the remarkable by showing how simply and elegantly instant messages could be handled on mobile.
Incredibly different, incredibly rich, it's hard to pick just nine, never mind one -- but that's your job. Vote up top and tell us why you voted they way you did in the comments! These are your awards, so get to it!

Vote now for the social networking app of the year [2011 TiPb Awards]
When the app debuted shouldn't make a difference IMO as the "award" is for the best Social Networking app. At least that's my take on it.
That doesn't make sense because some of those listed in the poll debuted before 2011. I'm pretty sure Facebook for iPad came out in 2011.
The integrated Facebook App sucks. It constantly freezes on photos with a large number of comments.
I like Tweetbot, and I'm surprised to see that it is leading the pack...
Twittelator Neue has only been out for a second how can u include it for app of the year?
I love the functionality of a program call Twitbird but they are having major usability issues and I haven't seen an update from them in ages.
BlackBerry Messenger. Not everyone here owns an iPhone you know... some are here because they own an iPad ;)
your ipad has all the same apps, also this is an idevice site
bbm is overrated
The new twitter app is awesome great interface redesign
if you are a power twitter user you should reevaluate your life choices
HEYZAP--- partners to many many that make it a most successful social gaming network .. Thank You Google ... always there for me ;)

Roger Tsien Shares Chemistry Nobel
The Science & Engineering Library congratulates Dr. Roger Y. Tsien for winning this year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work with green fluorescent protein, to "the development and application of fluorescent protein probes that enable scientists to monitor cellular function." Dr. Tsien is a professor in the UCSD Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the Department of Pharmacology, as well as a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator. He shares the award equally with Osamu Shimomura of the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole and Boston University School of Medicine, and Martin Chalfie of Columbia University.
From the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences press release:
Roger Y. Tsien contributed to our general understanding of how GFP fluoresces. He also extended the colour palette beyond green allowing researchers to give various proteins and cells different colours. This enables scientists to follow several different biological processes at the same time.

Tag Archives: Stephen Lerner
U.K. Riots are Not Grass Roots
On Saturday, tens of thousands of U.K. protesters marched, firebombed and destroyed property to show that their disagreement with cuts that the British government has to make to keep it's deficits in-check. As this pressTV video illustrates, it's actually a UNION-organized event.
Of course, Americans have nothing to fear. "That could never happen here!" Right? .. right?.. Of course not .. well except that thing in Wisconsin or even more recently, Stephen Lerner's push to have unions, community organizations and those that would follow them – create yet another financial crisis.
I imagine the British people didn't think this kind of chaos could occur in the heart of their country either, but it did.
These things didn't come from a few middle-class families getting together to protect a hard-earned right. These acts are being performed by greedy citizens that do not understand that they have simply run out of "other people's money". The government has taxed "the rich" and corporations to the point that they have begun hoarding cash, moving operations, their wealth, and in some cases themselves out of the country.
As tax revenues diminish due to overly progressive taxation, the government loses its ability to provide the services to which these selfish protesters feel they are entitled. And we all know what spoiled little children do when they don't get there way.. (if you don't – see: that video at the top of the article).
Desperate Strokes for Union Folks: Collapse J.P.Morgan, Create Housing Chaos.
Desperate Strokes for Union Folks; Unions turn to trying to use mortgage holders to fight for power and disruption, just like they used teachers, firemen and policemen in Madison, Wisconsin.
SEUI operative/anarchist and career rabble-rouser Stephen Lerner was exposed recently in theblaze.com article, in trying to force the collapse and disruption of everything from banks to wall street to government, by calling on home mortgage holders to wage a de-facto strike by refusing to pay their mortgages and staying in their homes during the current mortgage crisis. Make no mistake folks, this is an act of domestic terrorism in a desperate move by Union operatives to hide the fact that the public sector Unions are bankrupting States across America. Mr. Lerner can be heard in the following audio clip trying to champion the recent Madison Union thuggery as some sort of success model. My question to him would be, just what did you accomplish in Madison, other than exposing Union thuggery and hypocrisy?
The answer to that question, is absolutely nothing, other than proving yourselves to be nasty hypocrites with no respect for true Democracy in America. Collective Bargaining and bullying of states coffers to buy Democratic votes and enrich yourselves is a thing of the past in Wisconsin, and soon to be in the rest of the states that want to balance their budgets and restore fiscal sanity. Listen to the following tape of Mr. Lerner's plans that reveals the true modus operandi, or method of operation, of Union operatives today, as it is quite telling and oh-so-informative:
Take note that Mr. Lerner is also on record as to making several visits to the Whitehouse recently. Isn't that interesting ?
The Union's outrageous salary, extravagant pension and medical plans have been exposed across the nation today, and now the Unions have to try to effect some sort of damage control, so they are trying to recruit home mortgage holders to do their dirty work here. For those of you reading this that are thinking of falling for this ploy, I have to ask you how many mortgage restructuring plans and other help for mortgage holders to stay in their homes are already available today? Plenty. For those of you who were unqualified to own a home in the first place, yet got loans knowing damn well you couldn't afford them in the first place due to any one of the numerous Fannie and Freddie everyone deserves a house whether they can afford it or not schemes, I say tough ! Get out and get an apartment, or increase your income so you can afford to pay the mortgage payments, period. This is America, where when you want something, you get out and work for it, not ask the government to give it to you at the expense of the taxpayers. Clear enough?
Update 3/28/11 Rep. Jason Cheffetz has written a letter to the DOJ Chief Holder demanding an investigation here. While the average informed, concerned citizen figures Holder will refuse to take a serious look into Lerner's attempt at Economic Terrorism through innocent mortgage holders, there is an interesting CC ( for carbon copy) at the bottom of this letter.
cc: The Honorable Darrell Issa, Chairmancc: The Honorable Elijah E. Cummings, Ranking Minority Member
Wade Rathke's Startling Admission: 'Economic Terrorism' Engineer Stephen Lerner Is Still on SEIU Payroll
Lerner has not been "fired" by SEIU as they report. He was placed on paid leave last fall to think through his contribution to the union, but was certainly present at the recent international executive board meeting.

Woodbury Country Club was forced into bankruptcy in 2009.
- Filed Under
City officials are teeing up plans to redevelop the former Woodbury Country Club.
The club at Cooper Street and Evergreen Avenue has been idle since 2009, when falling membership and rising debt pushed it into bankruptcy. The golf course had operated since 1897.
Woodbury's planning and zoning board will consider at its April 17 session whether the 50-acre site is an area in need of redevelopment. That designation would allow the city to acquire the property by eminent domain. ...

Doctors Seek Union Banner Work Devalued by Managed Care
Kilborn, Peter T., THE JOURNAL RECORD
COCOA, Fla. -- With the spread of managed-care companies and their efforts to contain costs, many doctors say they are losing control over working conditions, treatments and incomes. In response, some are taking a most uncommon step to protect their interests. They are joining labor unions.
With typically six-figure incomes, private-practice physicians would seem to have little in common with the toilers of office, field and factory. But as they lose their independence, 4,000 of the white- cloaked stalwarts of free enterprise have taken up the union banner.
So far the unionized doctors amount to a tiny number among the 684,000 physicians. But they work in two populous states with dense concentrations of managed-care companies, Florida and California. And as the companies keep spreading, merging and expanding control over health care, the doctors say they expect many colleagues to seek refuge in the unions.
For some it will be a difficult move.
"Most doctors are Republicans," said Dr. Duff Sprawls, 47, a hematologist and an oncologist in Cocoa and, now, a union member. "Most doctors' dads were Republicans. They do not see themselves as proletarian. They see themselves as bourgeois."
The doctors have joined two unions that also represent growing numbers of salaried hospital and public-service doctors who have been joining unions for decades, the Florida Federation of Physicians and Dentists in Tallahassee, an affiliate of a big AFL-CIO union, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, and the independent Union of American Physicians and Dentists in Oakland, Calif.
Brevard County, where the Florida union says 107 of 563 private practitioners have enrolled and are paying the $520 annual dues, is a hotbed of union organizing.
"The managed-care organizations have economic power," said Dr. Apolinar A. Henriquez, 42, of Cocoa, an internist and a union organizer. "And we have the power of our group."
As unionists go, the doctors are pretty tame. "I wouldn't strike," Henriquez said.
The doctors also lack a vital lever of union power. Most unionized workers can set their wages through collective bargaining with employers. But under the antitrust laws that govern businesses, including doctors' offices, physicians who get together to agree on the fees that they charge could go to jail for illegal price fixing.
Many doctors, however, who contract with managed-care companies to obtain patients, now consider themselves so stripped of their independence that they have become de facto employees of the health care companies.
As a result, the Florida federation is planning appeals to Washington to obtain the same antitrust law exemptions that some musicians, actors and teamster drivers have. Many truck drivers own their businesses -- their vehicles. But they have no control over the rates that they are paid, and they join the teamsters' union, which negotiates their pay.
The unions are helping doctors take on managed-care organizations in other areas.
The president of the Florida union, Dr. Arthur L. Hall, a family physician in Winter Park, near Orlando, cited a typical contract and the changes that the union is negotiating.
The union version gives physicians more freedom to override a company's requirement that surgery patients be admitted to hospitals only on the day of their operations.
The union would require that the company state a just cause when terminating physicians' contracts, let them appeal to arbitrators and pay for the costs of arbitration if the physicians win. The companies would also pay costs associated with making available medical records.
The managed-care companies readily acknowledge their power and the threat that they pose to independent physicians who rely on the fees that they charge patients.
The companies' trade group in Washington, the American Association of Health Plans, says 115 million Americans, or 45 percent of the population, are enrolled with the companies. …

press release
The Ghana Standards Authority (GSA) has expressed concern about the misapplication of relevant standards as importers, exporters, manufacturers, wholesalers and consumers.
Briefing the media in Accra, yesterday, on issues related to standardisation in local or at the international level, the Deputy Executive Director of GSA, Mr Kofi Negatey, noted that the quality of life enjoyed on earth was greatly influenced by how standards were applied in their daily lives and activities.
Mr Negatey said standards were essential for safety, health, environment and for the quality of life, and stressed the need for the general public to appreciate matters relating to standardisation and its significance in socio-economic development.
He said standardisation would also enable institutions, individuals and countries to use the best practices to optimise their resources.
He noted, however, that the GSA was faced with a major challenge of making society conform to applied standards in their daily activities.
Mr Negatey expressed the commitment of GSA to ensure that local businessmen and women, including Small and Medium Industries explored opportunities into local and international markets by way of application of relevant standards.
In a presentation, Mr Koku Amenawonyo Xorse of the Standards Division said standardisation could be used across a range of transactions forming the basis of transformation.
Mr Xorse said the objectives of standardisation were to achieve maximum economy in terms of cost and human efforts and to adopt best possible solution to recurring problems.
Mr Xorse reiterated the need to enhance better communication and understanding of standardisation as a means of removing of trade barriers.

Home plate umpire Derryl Cousins tripped over the foot of Cleveland Indians catcher Carlos Santana while trying to follow a play during Tuesday night's game at Progressive Field against the Cincinnati Reds.
In the top of the sixth inning, Reds shortstop Zack Cozart hit a grounder down the third base line that ended up curving foul. Cousins took a step forward to follow the play more closely when he tripped over Santana's foot, and he managed to get his elbows down to avoid a full faceplant.
Santana was nice enough to help Cousins up and wipe some of the dirt off his chest before the next pitch.

WHMCS Admin Login Problems - Moving WHMCS
- Category: Blog
- Created on 27 February 2012
We were faced with a job recently that included moving Joomla, WHMCS, and J!WHCMS from an Apache to lighttpd server, both with different versions of MySQL and phpMyAdmin.
When you move WHMCS to another server, or any website, there are some common things that you must do:
- Start with a Canonical URL structure
- Move files or install new
- Backup and download databases from old website
- Create new databases on new server
- Import those tables
- Edit configuration files or..
- Edit the configuration table to point to correct URL
- Do a search and replace of old.domain to new.domain
- Apply any SSLs
- Edit J!WHMCS configurations to make sure it's wrapping
- test test.
Apache permissions are another common bump if you take a .zip file from one server and unzip it in another. The owner and group could differ and whmcs files and directories cannot be written to. Best way to resolve this is not to unzip on server. Unzip locally and ftp logged in as the cpanel user.
WHMCS Admin login problems
Today we ran into a case where the site was completely moved over to the new server but clients or admins couldn't login.
If you entered the correct login information it wouldn't say:
'Login Failed. Please Try Again.
Your IP has been logged and admins notified of this failed login attempt.
It would simply reload back to the same WHMCS Login screen. If you typed in wrong login it would eventually ban you for failing. Enter the correct information it does nothing but refresh and redirect back to login.php.
What it ended up being, what we believe, is the suhosin.session.encrypt=Off setting in suhosin.
WHMCS sessions are based on php.ini file settings and on this particular Debian server with lighttpd there was a problem with saving session cookies in a /tmp directory and then either suhosin encrypting them or attempting to pull sessions from another directory than where they are saved.
So after we had racked our brain and tried different installs and tests we were to the point of changing DNS servers back to old server. This is Steven took a look at the scenario.
We had figured out it was some sort of session error and Steven ended up suggesting we try to either disable suhosin or change that setting. Once disabled, and server restart, the login worked perfectly.
Sometimes we can run into problems when webmastering a website or moving things between servers and though we think we've seen it all, sometimes a problem will bear it's teeth and leave us scratching our heads.
In this case, getting one more person to take a look at something we had been trying to figure out for hours, solved the problem. There's something new to learn each and every day.
