Union Process, Inc.'s Q-25 Circulation Attritor is being used in a pilot plant environment to validate a production process for waste material to be utilized as a break-though "green" alternative energy resource.
For customers who already have an existing system with a premixing or holding tank, the high flow-rate inherent in the Circulation Attritor is an ideal option, according to the company. With an appropriate sized pumping system, a relatively small "Q" Attritor can efficiently grind material from a much larger process tank which means value-added benefits including maintenance and cost savings.
Circulation Attritors are ideal for uninterrupted, large-scale production. They deliver faster grinding with the desired narrow particle size distribution and are simple and safe to operate.
For more information on circulation grinding attritors, contact Union Process.

Madden NFL's ultimate team also is running a complicated special for Halloween that promises a super-duper Marshawn Lynch who makes his Tecmo Super Bowl counterpart look like a little boy. Roughly speaking, the Madden Ultimate Team packs will be salted with 10 different cards of the NFL's "most feared" players. Completing a special feat with them unlocks a powered-up version of the guy, and collecting all 10 delivers you Mr. Beast Mode.

I'm loving this new mode to bits. I simply cannot stop playing for a good ammount of time once I get into it.
According to the website, this mode is only going to be maintained throughout Halloween. Why? I can understand that it was brought up to celebrate the yearly ceremony, but why can't we keep it in the game? I'd love to always be able to load up the game and get right into the fun, specially considering how addictive it all is.
Please consider this suggestion! I don't want it to be taken away
PS: Does anyone know if ID software has an e-mail for players to send requests to? I'd love to suggest this to them, unless their moderators and community managers roam around this forum and might see this, of course.
Thank you!

Have you defined somewhere who the gues user is?
Just playing around with samba on rh9, here is the share definition I've provided in the smb.conf.
comment = Central directory for Linux backups
path = /opt/backup
browsable = yes
guest ok = yes
writable = yes
public = yes
When I go to start>run and type \\penguin1 I get 'penguin 1 is not accessible, access is denied'
nbtstat -A <IP address> from windows and nmblookup <IP address> from Linux work with no problem and show all the entries needed.
Any ideas why I cannot connect?
Have you defined somewhere who the gues user is?
have you run smbpasswd for the user(s)?
[quote author=Schotty link=board=4;threadid=9549;start=0#msg86969 date=1090479539]
have you run smbpasswd for the user(s)?
smbpasswd for the guest?
[quote author=Countach44 link=board=4;threadid=9549;start=0#msg86947 date=1090448594]
Have you defined somewhere who the gues user is?
Sorry for the silly question - how would I do that ? I was under impression that guest is like anonymous - no config needed.
here is a couple of real easy questions? ( i always say start with the most obvious ones )
Do you have anyother shares that work?
Did you create the /opt/backup directory?
Do you have in your sbm.conf Workgroup = penguin1?
Try removing the guest ok = yes line and restart samba and see what happens.
could you post your whole smb.conf file maybe we could help more if we had the whole thing.
Guys, thank for help but I have decided to go anopther route...I needed share for the placing the files from other linux boxes and backing it up from share using Arcserver running on the NT box.
I've decided to use another approach - install SSH sevrer on W2K then have cron jobs from each linux box that will scp it to the W2K box. The backup will pick it up from there. So, I'm not gonna deal with samba approach anymore.

HoJo unlikely to be back as hitting coach
According to the Daily News, "Hitting coach Howard Johnson is unlikely to remain in that role, but will be employed by the organization in some capacity."
This should not be a surprise.
I don't put a ton of stock in to the hitting coach. However, I assume Sandy Alderson is going to begin acquiring players with a specific approach to hitting, and current players will likely be asked to follow suit as best as possible, and so it would stand to reason he and Collins will want a new voice directing the team's hitters.

What is the Future of Digital Audio Advertising? Solving Audio Ad Tracking and Highlights from IAB Digital Audio Agency Day
Consumers are listening to more audio content than ever using an array of devices from computers to smartphones to connected stereos and cars, but audio advertising still only makes up a miniscule portion of digital ad dollars. Standardization and education are required for this to change and that's what the IAB Audio Committee's work is focused on.
Advertisers, agencies and digital audio publishers gathered recently for the IAB Digital Audio Agency Day at Pandora HQ in Oakland to learn from industry experts about the future of digital audio and why it needs be included in their media buys. Kurt Hanson, CEO of AccuRadio, presented a history of the radio industry and his predictions for the future, to a stellar panel on the Connected Car with representatives from Spotify, Aha Radio at Harman International, TuneIn and Slacker (left picture). The ever-entertaining Norm Pattiz, Chairman of PodcastOne/Launchpad Media (right picture), proclaimed that podcasts are the future of digital audio.
One common theme has become clear: in order for the digital audio industry to scale, fragmentation at the technology layer must be overcome. Dean Mandel, Vice President of Broadcast Services at PROXi Digital (Formally Katz360) and active participant of the IAB Audio Ad Serving Template Spec Working Group, outlines the three key challenges that the IAB's Audio committee is currently working to address:
1. Digital audio ads are being bought by both traditional radio buyers and digital buyers, and both types of buyers need a way to accurately measure delivery of their campaigns.
Radio buyers are used to "posting" their campaigns based on Arbitron ratings. However, since digital audio is technically online, there is a need for reporting equivalent metrics to other online campaigns. Online buyers are used to providing third-party tags like Dart For Advertisers (DFA) and using specifications like the Video Ad Serving Template (VAST) to track their digital display and video campaigns. Similar standards must be developed and adopted by the digital audio industry.
2. The fact that audio ad units don't have a visual component makes the use of a "tracking pixel" unpractical.
One workaround for tracking audio ad units is to apply a third-party tag (in the form of a 1x1 pixel) to a companion display banner (a visual component to an audio ad), but not all audio devices have the visual interface necessary to fire a pixel. Accordingly, some advertisers have chosen to only serve audio ads in environments where a companion banner is served, yet in doing so, they are missing a large potential audience.
We must find a better way to track the audio ad unit itself; a way that proves whether the ad has played, how much of the ad was played and any other possible interactions the user may make with the audio ad unit.
3. Several digital audio ad serving companies have developed proprietary methods to apply third-party tracking tags to audio, but there is a need to standardize this technology across the audio marketplace.
The IAB Digital Audio Committee has launched a working group that includes several thought leaders in the streaming-audio industry who are addressing this task. Over the past several months this group has begun the development of an ad serving template specification for audio ads similar to VAST for digital video. Once this important specification work is complete and adopted throughout the marketplace, media buyers will be able to easily run and track digital audio ads in a consistent manner across multiple platforms, similar to the way they do today with other digital platforms, allowing for growth in the digital audio market.
IAB is excited to lead the effort to standardize the delivery of streaming audio advertising in order to ensure that advertisers, agencies and audio publishers may all share in the continued growth of the audio industry.
Stay tuned (pun intended!) for more to come on this topic.

Sourcebook on Monitoring Biodiversity for REDD+ (
English version) (
Spanish version)
The Sourcebook published by the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) in collaboration with the Deutsche
Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH seeks to bring clarity to the
challenge of monitoring biodiversity for REDD+ while acknowledging the need to avoid adding further
complexity. The Sourcebook emphasises a phased approach to monitoring based on availability of
resources, and highlights that monitoring biodiversity as part of REDD+ can help countries to
achieve both their biodiversity and climate commitments more cost-effectively.
Contributing to the goal of achieving multiple benefits through REDD+, the Sourcebook seeks to answer
three key questions: Why monitor biodiversity for REDD+? What to monitor? How to monitor? Drawing on
the literature and contributions from a wide range of experts, the Sourcebook provides a simple
framework for answering these questions. Summaries of key monitoring methods are presented with best
practice guidance and practical case studies drawn from REDD+ and forest projects around the world.
Summary Report and Presentations from an international dialogue on Satellite data and
monitoring systems for REDD+
The German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and
Development (BMZ) organized a professional workshop on satellite data and methods for deforestation
and forest degradation monitoring on 5 October 2012 in Bonn, Germany. This event was preceded by a
technical side event on 4 October 2012 organized by DLR. Experts from science, satellite data and
service providers such as RapidEye and Astrium as well as international institutions such as the
French AFD, FAO, World Bank and WWF participated in the event. A series of lectures gave an overview
of available data and methods for satellite-based monitoring systems. Working groups discussed
accuracy, availability, usability, cost, etc. and shared their experiences and best practices.
Further information, including the programme, presentations and a
summary report.
Emissions and removals from land-use, land use change and forestry activities in a post-Kyoto regime
- quantitative analysis of a framework for reducing deforestation (2322 kB)
Note: The main text of this report is in English, only the title and a 20 page summary are in German.
The final report of a German research project on REDD discusses data availability and methodological
questions, especially for six countries (Brazil, Congo (Brazzaville), Indonesia, Madagascar, Papua New Guinea, Peru).

January we trek to Las Vegas
with the promise of new audio/video delights. Sometimes we are disappointed.
This time we were not.
much of what we saw hits the streets in Q3, Q4 and Q1'16 as alleged, we are
truly in for a level of video excellence yet unseen in our living rooms and
dedicated theatres. The downside is that joined at the hip with the new stuff
is new terminology that will need to be scrutinized, explained, tested and
plainly stated for what it is ... or is not. Stay tuned.
London, UK – 5th January, 2015 –
Hollywood studios, consumer electronics brands, content
distributors, post-production and technology companies today
announced the launch of the UHD (Ultra High Definition)
Alliance. This new partnership will set the bar for next
generation video entertainment by establishing new standards
to support innovation in video technologies including 4K and
higher resolutions, high dynamic range, wider colour range
and immersive 3D audio.
In late September, I was flown down to Nassau in the Bahamas by Electronic Environments of New York City, one of the top A/V Integrators in the U.S., to calibrate a theater for one of their clients. The theater, located on Paradise Island, just a stone's throw down the road from the famous Atlantis Resort was quite large with three rows of eight, seating a total of 24. Amplification and surround processing was handled by all new Bryston audio electronics.

Samsung to Hang Its Shingle Inside Best Buys
Samsung is expanding its footprint in the mobile market by taking up square footage in Best Buy stores. The Samsung Experience Shops will push Galaxy S4s and other mobile products, and company-trained customer service attendants will help demo the devices. All of this will be going on under the same roof as Apple's section in Best Buy, while the electronics retailer gains a partner who could help boost foot traffic in its struggling stores.

The latest consumer electronics manufacturer to follow the store-within-a-store trend is Samsung, which announced Thursday that Best Buy will dedicate space within its U.S. showrooms and specialty stores for the Samsung Experience Shop, an area dedicated to the company's products and demonstrations.
Best Buy will rollout the Samsung Experience Shop in more than 1,400 Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile stores. The retailer will begin with 500 stores on Monday, with approximately 900 more opening up by early May. The rest of the Samsung shops will be open by early summer.
While sizes may vary, Best Buy is carving out as much as 460 feet for Samsung in the largest locations. The shops will highlight Samsung's full range of mobile products such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, connected cameras and accessories.
Apple has a similar dedicated space at Best Buy stores. The Samsung Experience Shop is different in that both Samsung Experience Consultants and Best Buy blue-shirt sales associates will staff it.
Samsung says its goal is to offer customers a full end-to-end experience so they can explore, purchase, activate and service their Samsung mobile device in one location. Samsung Smart Service will help consumers get set up on their mobile devices; transfer contacts, photos and other content from their old device; and provide ongoing support throughout the product's lifecycle.
The Samsung Experience Shop is not a new concept for the company; it used to operate an Experience store in the Shops at Columbus Circle at Time Warner Center in New York City. That standalone store, however, didn't sell anything. Samsung used the outlet to showcase its full range of products from smartphones and tablets to TVs and even appliances.
Touch and Play
"How do people learn technology interfaces best? They learn by watching how others use the products," Josh Crandall, principal analyst at Netpop Research told the E-Commerce Times. "Samsung's move to train product specialists to demo their products inside of Best Buy is an effort to improve the first impression."
The Experience Consultants can demonstrate product features, and potentially add to sales by demonstrating the connectivity of each product.
"I think the benefit is that despite all the attempts to make everything plug-and-play, most consumers still consider the concept of connecting everything in their home is still intimidating," Alan Bullock, associate director of connected imaging trends at InfoTrends told the E-Commerce Times. "Displaying the experience may explain if and how it can be simplified. Consumers are more likely to adopt and embrace connected devices."
Best Buy's New Tenant
Samsung and Best Buy did not disclose any financial details involved in the deal. However, Best Buy is facing its own business challenges, particulary with the consumer practice of "showrooming," where they visit a store to handle products, then buy them somewhere else online.
"It's a smart move if Samsung and Best Buy can generate enough foot traffic to the new Experience Shops," said Crandall.
The retailer and the mobile goods manufacturer will have to position the Shops well, and aggessively market them, to make a difference.
"All this is probably good for Samsung," Jim McGregor, founder of TIRIAS Research, told the E-Commerce Times. "If Best Buy has that much extra space to give away, that doesn't bode well for them."
It might be a smart strategy for Best Buy to sublease their space to consumer electronics vendors.
"Best Buy is a store that has grown, and now it is trying to shrink its real estate," industry analyst Jeff Kagan told the E-Commerce Times. "This will allow Best Buy to keep their existing real estate and help them with the rent."
If the Samsung Experience Shop is successful, Kagan added, Best Buy might look to "all other companies that want an island in their store."

The funny thing is with Andino's 1.8 WAR, he would have had over 2.0 for sure if he had a bit more playing time. That would make him an above average major league player!!

Let me see if I have this right. Earlier this year, while campaigning for re-election, Barack Obama said he wanted to raise taxes $800 billion on everyone making more than $250,000 a year. Republicans were virtually unanimous in shouting, "No way!"
Then what happened when the Spender in Chief wins the White House for another four years? He promptly doubled down. Now, he says he wants $1.6 trillion in new taxes over the next 10 years. And our "don't call my bluff" President made it abundantly clear that he'll play hardball to get it.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, who is serving as Obama's messenger boy to Capitol Hill, declared flatly on Meet the Press December 2: "There's no path to an agreement that does not involve Republicans acknowledging that rates have to go up on the wealthiest Americans."
In other words, it's our way or the highway. So what did the Republicans do? Rather than sticking to their earlier promise, the leadership countered by agreeing to give Obama the $800 billion he originally asked for. Way to fight for principle, guys.
Of course, $1.6 trillion in new tax revenue isn't all that the Democrats are after. Obama also wants $50 billion in new stimulus spending and another $30 billion to extend unemployment benefits. Plus, he wants the death tax to go back up to 45 percent on estates and family farms worth $3.5 million and more.
And it doesn't end there. Geithner, a tax cheater, also says that it's time to abolish the ceiling on the federal debt. No more coming back to Congress, hat in hand, to increase the limit on how much money our bankrupt federal government can borrow. No, if Team Obama gets its way, there will be no limits on how much deeper this country will go in debt. Isn't that a lovely situation to contemplate?

- How to Read a Study Record
The aim of the study is to see if apricitabine or tipranavir affect the levels of each other in the blood (pharmacokinetic interaction) when they are dosed together.
HIV Infection
Drug: apricitabine
Phase 1
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Non-Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Bio-equivalence Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
|Official Title:
|A Phase I, Open Label, Controlled, Intra-subject Comparison Study to Investigate the Effect of Co-administration Upon the Pharmacokinetics of Tipranavir (Ritonavir Boosted) and Apricitabine.
- To compare the single dose pharmacokinetics of apricitabine when administered alone and in the presence of steady state concentrations of tipranavir 500 mg administered twice daily in combination with ritonavir 200 mg twice daily. [ Time Frame: day 1 and day 10 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- To compare the steady state pharmacokinetics of tipranavir 500 mg administered twice daily with ritonavir 200mg in the presence and absence of apricitabine. [ Time Frame: day 9 and day 10 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- To evaluate the safety and tolerability of apricitabine administered in combination with tipranavir and ritonavir. [ Time Frame: day 10 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Apricitabine is a new NRTI in development for treatment of drug resistant HIV. Tipranavir is a recently licensed protease inhibitor for treatment of drug resistant HIV. Tipranavir affects the plasma concentration of some other drugs when they are used together with tipranavir. This study will examine whether the pharmacokinetics of apricitabine are changed when it is dosed together with tipranavir compared to apricitabine alone. Also, the pharmacokinetics of tipranavir will be examined at steady state when it is dosed alone and when it is dosed together with apricitabine. Information on the safety and tolerability of the two drugs when dosed together will also be obtained.

You can resize picture from your iPhone? The problem with photobucket is that I ran out of space.
