Banshee 1.6 Integrates with Ubuntu One Music Store
Access and purchase music from within the media player.
Banshee 1.6 proves to be a stable release after the numerous developer releases in the 1.5.x series. In addition to the U1MS plugin created by Jo Shields, the new Banshee includes numerous improvements over 1.4. Among them is a DJ tool called a Play Queue that randomly plays music by artist, album, song rating or score mode. The new Banshee also has an import filter for MP3 songs purchased from eMusic.
Banshee 1.6 supports a number of new devices, among them HTC's Nexus One, Nokia's N900 and the Palm Pre. The Banshee download archives page includes the full list of enhancements.
Ubuntu One Music Store for all?
The Banshee player, programmed in Mono, was originally developed by Novell. However, Novell and the other distros aren't likely to have any interest in delivering the U1MS plugin with the Banshee version, because cloud support is required to access Ubuntu One.
The newest openSUSE version of Banshee doesn't include the U1MS plugin, but the Banshee community extensions (that include the plugin) in the libubuntuone libraries can be compiled into other distros. In a short test, it was relatively easy to install the plugin into openSUSE 11.3. Not unexpectedly, the compiled version of Banshee crashed almost immediately after activating the plugin.

Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) can be a helpful tool in risk management for medical devices, but it has several inherent traps that should be recognized and avoided. The standard has been recognized by FDA, and in Europe through ISO 14971. Therefore compliance to this standard is crucial not only in assuring the safety and reliability of medical equipment, but in meeting regulatory requirements as well.
This 90-minute presentation will discuss a structured way to mitigate risks with minimum cost. You will learn how to use FMEA to effectively estimate and assess risks in your medical device. We will cover design FMEA and process FMEA procedure and show how this methodology can be used for even complex systems.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will learn
- The most widely used method for risk estimation.
- A structured way to mitigate risks with minimum cost.
- To develop a right test plan from FMEA.
Areas Covered in the Seminar:
- FMEA methodology-
- Design FMEA Procedure.
- How to save over 50% time for conducting FMEA.
- Process FMECA Procedure.
- How to eliminate defects in manufacturing.
- How to design validation tests from FMEA.

Miranda Cosgrove breaks ankle in tour bus accident
FILE - In this April 11, 2011 file photo, Nickelodeon actress and singer Miranda Cosgrove arrives at ELLE magazine's second annual Women in Music event in Los Angeles. On Thursday, Aug. 11, 2011, Cosgrove broke her ankle when her tour bus was in an accident in southern Illinois on Interstate 70 outside Vandalia, about 70 miles outside St. Louis. The accident means that Cosgrove's "Dancing Crazy Summer Tour" will be postponed until further notice. (AP Photo/Chris Pizzello, File)
VANDALIA, Illinois (AP) — Actress and singer Miranda Cosgrove has broken her ankle in a tour bus accident in southern Illinois.
Gina Schulman, a spokeswoman for the star of Nickelodeon's "iCarly," says the accident happened early Thursday on Interstate 70 near Vandalia, northeast of St. Louis. Schulman says all five passengers on the bus "will be fine."
Schulman says Cosgrove's "Dancing Crazy Summer Tour" is postponed until further notice.
She says, "Miranda thanks everyone for their understanding and support."
Cosgrove stars as Carly Shay, the daughter of a colonel serving overseas, on "iCarly." Her album is "High Maintenance." She also featured in "The School of Rock" and voiced the character Margo in "Despicable Me."

The Kershaw County Gamecock Club will have its spring meeting on Tuesday, April 30 at 6 p.m. at the Old South Restaurant, 1244 Pine Street in Elgin.
Lugoff-Elgin will meet Camden in tonight's third round of the Kershaw-Richland Classic Wooden Bat Spring Break Baseball Tournament which ends its three-day run at American Legion Park when the two cross-river rivals meet for the second of three times this year in a 7:30 p.m. start.
For the first time in many a year, the crack of the bat will replace the pinging of the bat in the Kershaw-Richland Classic Wooden Bat Spring Break Baseball Tournament which opens today and run through Thursday.
For the first time in many a year, the crack of the bat will replace the pinging of the bat in next week's Kershaw-Richland Classic Wooden Bat Spring Break Baseball Tournament.
After some confusion after the compilation of the team scores from Monday's Kershaw County Track and Field championships held at Camden High, the host Bulldogs were declared winners of the boys' title after it was originally announced that Lugoff-Elgin had won the championship.
When he first took over the fortunes of the Lugoff-Elgin boys' tennis team six years ago, Edward Rickwood was asked to build the program from the ground up.
Due to the inclement weather which was being forecast for Saturday, Camden decided to postpone that day's Dogfest.
DogFest: A Celebration of Being A Camden Bulldog, will be held on Saturday, March 23 at Camden High's baseball/softball complex at American Legion Park in Camden..
When played at its best, baseball can be fascinating to watch. And, in the blink of an eye, it can turn as ugly as a multi-car wreck on the highway.
Monday: Lugoff-Elgin at Camden (G – 4 p.m.); Lugoff-Elgin at Manning (TEN – 4:30 p.m.); Camden at Darlington (TEN – 5 p.m.); Camden Military Academy at Robert E. Lee Academy (BB – 6:30 p.m.)
A 1-1 tie after 80 minutes followed by two scoreless overtime sessions leading to penalty kicks to decide a winner.
Call Kyle Miller the party pooper.
The 2013 Camden High School Father-Son Baseball Camp has a new twist to it this year.
Wednesday: Lugoff-Elgin McBee, Crestwood at Camden (TR – 5 p.m.); Crestwood at Camden (GSOC – 5:30 p.m.); Lewisville at North Central (SB – 6 p.m.); Lugoff-Elgin at Airport (SB – 6:30 p.m.); Crestwood at Camden (BSOC – 7 p.m.)

What Kept the Cold War "Cold"?
Graham T. Allison of Harvard's Kennedy School, Jeremi Suri of the University of Texas at Austin, and William Taubman of Amherst College join...
Interviewee: Gideon Rose, Editor, Foreign Affairs
Interviewer: Deborah Jerome, Deputy Editor, CFR.org
November 9, 2010
While much is known about how wars start and how they're conducted, governments and historians generally haven't paid much attention to their endings, writes Gideon Rose, editor of Foreign Affairs, in his book How Wars End: Why We Always Fight the Last Battle: A History of American Intervention from World War I to Afghanistan. Notably in Iraq, but in previous engagements too, the United States and other powers have failed to enter conflicts with a "political purpose, some kind of sustainable political settlement" in mind, says Rose. After the fall of Saddam Hussein, Rose says, the failure of pre-war planning meant that Iraq plummeted into political turmoil and chaos.
In Afghanistan, too, the United States has failed to define its endgame, Rose says, noting that the costs of staying and the costs of leaving too soon are high. He says if the United States withdraws too early, there's a "risk of problems recurring," in the form of a renewed terrorist bulwark in the country where al-Qaeda leadership plotted the 9/11 attacks, but there's also a risk of a very expensive and long commitment. Certainly the United States will be somewhat constrained in its international policy choices, from military engagement to diplomacy, due to economics. "It's more likely that the budgetary climate will subconsciously help steer people toward a less confrontational course" regarding Iran, says Rose.

Based just on how many terrible attempts at comedy we've seen in gaming, we dare say humor is even harder to pull off in that medium than it is in films or TV. For every clever joke, there are a hundred Duke Nukems and other immature goofs chortling at some double entendre about boobs.

Sony Handycam HDR-CX760 Camcorder Review
This flagship Handycam delivers crisp Full HD images in bright light, great low light capabilities, and fluid motion.
The Sony HDR-CX760V may not be a perfect camcorder, but it comes darn close. Video performance from this flagship Handycam was excellent, featuring crisp Full HD images in bright light, dramatic improvement in low light capabilities, and fluid motion with the CX760V's 60p frame rate option. Some pros may yearn for a bit more control on a high-end camcorder like this, but the HDR-CX760V makes do. The custom control dial (not as good as a lens ring, but close), large LCD, small viewfinder, strong battery life, and 70° wide-angle lens make the HDR-CX760V an excellent choice for video enthusiasts and semi-professionals who want top-notch quality from a consumer model. Like we said, it may not do everything right, but it has a ton of positives.
The HDR-CX760V is currently available for around $1299, which is a significant price drop from it launch-date $1499 MSRP. Loaded with 96GB of internal flash memory, this is a reasonable price to pay for a flagship Handycam, but it's certainly not cheap. You do have the option of saving a few bucks and going with the similar HDR-PJ710V instead. This model doesn't have a viewfinder, only has 32GB of internal memory, but comes with a built-in projector instead (with an MSRP of $1149). And if you want a fully-loaded model, Sony has its top-line HDR-PJ760V that has everything: 96GB of internal memory, a viewfinder, and the built-in projector. In the end, with think the HDR-CX760V is the best value, especially since all these camcorders are essentially identical under the hood.

Now You Too Can Sleep with Paris
by Celebrity
Like us on Facebook
We just wrote about Nicky's plans for a hotel chain and now Paris plans to do the same. Paris will start with a "show-stopping" hotel in Vegas. She said, "The first one will be in Las Vegas. I love poker and blackjack. And I always win--I've played it since I was 12, when I won $15,000." Hmm, how's that legal?

I have a theroy on the BIG glasses by the way. It all started because NORMAL sized glasses looked huge on anorexic girls like paris and nicole richie. Thing is, they weren't wearing them cause they were BIG they just couldn't find any glasses that fit their tiny shrunken heads... But... the public being the followers we are (mostly with normal sized heads, had to have the BIG glasses made for them so they could also look like paris and nicole. BUT... Paris and Nicole always have to be wearing the latest thing, and when Channel and Prada started making HUGE glasses for the general public, they just had to get a few pairs, regardless of the fact that now these large glasses just look rediculous on them. And then the cycle continues and continues spiraling out of control, until now we have Paris and Nicole wearing GIANT clown glasses. Soon they'll need wheels on the sides of the glasses so they can just roll along on the ground to prevent them breaking their weak and thin bones. LOL

GRAND JUNCTION - The Grand Junction Tigers improved to 3-0 on the season with a 12 to 7 win against Ponderosa on Saturday morning at Canyon View Park.
The Tigers swept their way through the Bill Fanning Classic thanks in larger part to a constant barrage of offense. That trend continued on Saturday morning. Grand Junction had three sac fly rbis through the first two innings and with two outs in the bottom of the second Geoff Baldwin blasted his first home run of the season with a three run opposite field shot to put the Tigers up by five runs.
Dylan Wiman was the winning pitcher.

The Emotions of Aid
Ruvinsky, Jessica, Stanford Social Innovation Review
"One death is a tragedy; 1 million is a statistic," Joseph Stalin is supposed to have said. The more people we see suffering, the less we care. It's an unfortunate quirk that psychologists so far have blamed on our brains: Humans are tuned to individuals, the thinking goes; we are just not capable of feeling compassion for whole groups.
A new study calls that comfortable conclusion into question. "The collapse of compassion is an active process," says Daryl Cameron, a doctoral candidate in social psychology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. "It's not some passive limitation on human experience. It's the end result of an active choice not to feel something."
Cameron designed a series of experiments to find out why four people in pain don't get quadruple the sympathy of one. In one test, he had 60 college students read about one, four, or eight children from Darfur. The students who said they were better at regulating their emotions-who don't easily lose focus or control, and usually know how to make themselves feel better-reported being less upset by multiple Darfur children in crisis than by one. In another experiment, different students reading about these same children were told either to let themselves fully experience their emotions or to think objectively and be detached. Again, those who proactively regulated their emotions showed a collapse of compassion when viewing eight victims compared to one. …

The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) is a federally-funded program that provides free, nutritious meals to children age 18 or younger living in low-income areas, or pockets of poverty during the summer months when school is not in session. The SFSP can be sponsored by public or private nonprofit schools, or school districts; public or private nonprofit organizations, day or residential summer camps; local government agencies or tribal organizations. Summer feeding sites can be located in schools, public housing centers, playgrounds, camps, parks, churches, rec centers, and many other facilities as long as the site meets the SFSP eligibility criteria.
Sponsors are reimbursed for the number of meals served to each eligible child multiplied by the appropriate reimbursement rate. The SFSP has higher reimbursement rates than any other Child Nutrition Program, yet it is one of the most under-utilized federal assistance programs. In Alaska, nearly 36,000 eligible children received free or reduced-price school meals during FY13, and only about 4,000 children participated in SFSP. The SFSP is the key to helping fill the hunger gap for children who receive free and reduced-price meals during the regular school year.

Which brand of diapers will you ladies be using?
--Nicole, DS March 2011, Expecting Twins June 2013
Huggies all the way! I tried to get DS, 16mths old, to use other brands but they all gave him diaper rash especially when he pooed multiple times back to back. I think each child is different and might react to diapers differently.

With my DD, I used Pampers Swaddlers and Huggies until she was big enough to cloth diaper. Then I used disposables at night and when with a babysitter.
I love Target diapers...I don't even live near a Target any more but its worth it to get them! Cheap and very good quality.

American Electric Technologies, Inc. is a leading global supplier of power delivery solutions to the energy industry. AETI offers M&I Electric™ power distribution and control products, electrical services, and E&I Construction services, as well as American Access Technologies zone enclosures, and Omega Metals custom fabrication services. South Coast Electric Systems L.L.C. a subsidiary, services U.S. Gulf Coast marine vessel customers.
We report our business in three segments: Technical Products and Services ("TP&S"), Electrical and Instrumentation Construction ("E&I") and American Access Technologies ("AAT").
Foreign Joint Ventures
We have interests in three joint ventures outside of the United States which are accounted for on the equity method:
• BOMAY Electric Industries Company, Ltd. ("BOMAY"), in which the Company holds a 40% interest, BOMCO. (a subsidiary of China National Petroleum Corporation) holds a 51% interest, and AA Energies, Inc., holds a 9% interest;
• M&I Electric Far East, Ltd. ("MIEFE"), in which the Company holds a 41% interest, MIEFE's general manager holds an 8% interest and, Oakwell Engineering, Ltd., of Singapore, holds a 51% interest, and;
• AETI Alliance Group do Brazil Sistemas E Servicos Em Energia LTDA. ("AAG"), in which the Company holds a 49% interest and, Five Stars De Macae Servicos De Petroleo LTDA., of Brazil, holds a 51% interest.
Industry Conditions
Our power delivery products which support the various segments of the energy industry are capital intensive and cyclical in nature. The U.S. upstream, midstream and downstream oil & gas markets continues to favorably impact the demand for our technical products and services. Our products through our joint ventures in China, Singapore and Brazil continue to experience favorable market conditions related to the energy demands in these countries. Our industrial markets remain weak. As the company previously announced, we decided in the first quarter 2012 to exit the water and wastewater construction markets as we complete our existing backlog which is expected to be substantially completed by December 31, 2012.
The TP&S segment has three main components: power distribution equipment, power conversion equipment and electrical services.
Our power distribution equipment group designs, manufactures, markets and provides products designed to distribute the flow of electricity for energy projects and protect electrical equipment such as motors, transformers and cables. The main products offered by this group include low and medium voltage ANSI ("American National Standards Institute") certified and IEC ("International Electrotechnical Commission") certified switchgear for generator control and power distribution applications. We also manufacture complimentary equipment including motor control centers (MCCs), bus duct, and the power control rooms that the power distribution equipment is located within for customer projects.
Our power distribution solutions are primarily sold into the upstream, midstream and downstream oil & gas, the power generation and distribution markets, and the marine vessel and industrial markets. The Company provides switchgear for power generation applications up to 38,000 volts. We have recently expanded our offerings into the renewable energy marketplace with the introduction of the world's first switchgear designed for wind farm deployment, which includes our arc-mitigation technology. Arc-mitigation technology enables power system operators to significantly reduce the risk from arc-flash explosions and the resulting downtime and liability exposure.
Our power conversion group provides products that convert AC and DC power into usable power using a variety of technologies. We provide analog (Hill Hays) DC drives, digital SCR drives, AC variable frequency drives (also known as "VFDs"), inverters, converters, programmable logic control ("PLC") based automation systems, and human machine interface ("HMI") systems. Our analog DC drives, digital SCR drives and AC VFDs are used in a variety of applications including land and offshore drilling, marine propulsion and pipeline applications. The Company has recently introduced a line of wind converter products that convert the AC power produced by wind turbine generators to DC, then inverts the power back to AC for delivery to the electrical grid. We also offer our ISIS™ solution, a 1 and 1.5 MW fully integrated solar farm power station designed to integrate all of the power conversion and power distribution equipment of the solar farm. ISIS™ is the world's first 1000V, 1MW solar inverter to be tested by TUV Rhineland, a nationally recognized test laboratory, to UL 1741 standards.
Our power distribution and power conversion products are built for application voltages from 480 volts to 40,000 volts and are used in a wide variety of industries. We have the technical expertise to provide these services in compliance with a number of applicable industry standards such as NEMA ("National Electrical Manufacturers Association"), ANSI ("American National Standards Institute"), IEC ("International Electrotechnical Commission"), ABS ("American Bureau of Shipping"), USCG ("United States Coast Guard"), Lloyd's Register, a provider of marine certification services, and DNV ("Det Norske Veritas"), a leading certifying body/registrar for management systems certification services standards.
Our electrical services group includes both technical services and power services. Technical services include global start-up and service of AETI power conversion systems, electrical equipment retrofits and upgrades. Our power services group provides electrical infrastructure start-up and commissioning, preventative maintenance, and emergency repair services to industrial, marine and renewable projects globally. Our team of trained technicians maintains substations up to 500KV. We also offer in-shop services including refurbishment and repair services for circuit breakers and switchgear.
The E&I segment provides a full range of electrical and instrumentation construction and installation services to the oil & gas, power generation and distribution and marine and industrial markets.. The segment's services include new construction as well as electrical and instrumentation turnarounds, upgrades, maintenance, and renovation projects. Applications include installation of switchgear, AC and DC motors, drives, motor controls, lighting systems, and high voltage cable. The company also provides projects that include complete electrical system rig-ups, modifications, start-ups and testing for offshore drilling rigs, and production platforms, marine (vessels) etc.
In the first quarter 2012, we decided to complete the existing backlog related to the water and wastewater construction sector of the industrial market and exit that market sector based on its continued weakness and lack of strategic alignment.
The AAT segment manufactures and markets zone cabling enclosures and custom formed metal products for a variety of industrial markets. The zone cabling product line provides state-of-the-art flexible cabling and wireless solutions for the high-speed communication networks found throughout office buildings, hospitals, schools, industrial complexes and government buildings. Our patented enclosures mount in ceilings, walls, raised floors, and certain modular furniture to facilitate the routing of telecommunications network cabling, fiber optics and wireless solutions in a streamlined, flexible, and cost effective fashion. AAT also operates a precision sheet metal fabrication and assembly operation and provides services such as precision "CNC" ("Computer Numerical Controlled") punching, laser cutting, bending, assembling, painting, powder coating and silk screening to a diverse client base including engineering, technology and electronics companies, primarily in the Southeast.
The Company has facilities and sales offices in Texas, Mississippi and Florida. We have minority interests in foreign joint ventures which have facilities in Singapore; Xian, China; and Macae, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.
We have adopted various critical accounting policies that govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on management's knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, they may ultimately differ from actual results.
Certain accounting policies involve significant estimates and assumptions by us that have a material impact on our financial condition or operating performance. Management believes the following critical accounting policies reflect the most significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. We do not have off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as "special purpose entities", nor do we have any "variable interest entities".
Inventory Valuation - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with material being accounted for using the average cost method. Inventory costs for finished goods and work-in-process include direct material, direct labor, production overhead and outside services. TP&S and E&I indirect overhead is apportioned to work-in-process based on direct labor incurred. AAT production overhead, including indirect labor, is allocated to finished goods and work-in-process based on material consumption, which is an estimate that could be subject to change in the near term as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes.
Allowance for Obsolete and Slow-Moving Inventory - We regularly review the value of inventory on hand using specific aging categories, and record a provision for obsolete and slow-moving inventory based on historical usage and estimated future usage. As actual future demand or market conditions may vary from those projected, adjustments to our inventory reserve may be required.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the failure of our customers to make required payments. The estimate is based on management's assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and includes consideration for credit worthiness and financial condition of those specific customers. We also review historical experience with the customer, the general economic environment and the aging of our receivables. We record an allowance to reduce receivables to the amount that we reasonably believe to be collectible. Based on our assessment, we believe our allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate.
Revenue Recognition - We report earnings from fixed-price and modified fixed-price long-term contracts on the percentage-of-completion method. Earnings are accrued based on the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs. However, for TP&S, we have determined that labor incurred provides an improved measure of percentage-of-completion. Costs include direct material, direct labor, and job related overhead. Losses expected to be incurred on contracts are charged to operations in the period such losses are determined. A contract is considered complete when all costs except insignificant items have been incurred and the facility has been accepted by the customer. Revenue from non-time and material jobs of a short-term nature (typically less than one month) is recognized on the completed-contract method after considering the attributes of such contracts. This method is used because these contracts are typically completed in a short period of time and the financial position and results of operations do not vary materially from those which would result from use of the percentage-of-completion method. The asset, "Work-in-process," which is included in inventories, represents the cost of labor, material, and overhead on jobs accounted for under the completed-contract method. For contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method, the asset, "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts," represents revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed and the liability, "Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts," represents billings in excess of revenue recognized.
Foreign Currency Gains and Losses - Foreign currency translations are included as a separate component of comprehensive income. We have determined the local currency of our foreign joint ventures to be the functional currency. In accordance with ASC 830, the assets and liabilities of the foreign equity investees, denominated in foreign currency, are translated into United States Dollars at exchange rates in effect at the condensed consolidated balance sheet date and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Related translation adjustments are reported as comprehensive income which is a separate component of stockholders' equity, whereas gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations.
Federal Income Taxes - The liability method is used in accounting for federal income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The realizability of deferred tax assets are evaluated annually and a valuation allowance is provided if it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not give rise to future benefits in the Company's tax returns.
Contingencies - We record an estimated loss from a loss contingency when information indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Contingencies are often resolved over long time periods, are based on unique facts and circumstances, and are inherently uncertain. We regularly evaluate current information available to us to determine whether such accruals should be adjusted or other disclosures related to contingencies are required. We are a party to a number of legal proceedings in the normal course of our business for which we have made appropriate provisions where we believe an ultimate loss is probable. The ultimate resolution of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, is not likely to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Equity Income from Foreign Joint Ventures' Operations - We account for our investments in foreign joint ventures' operations using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the Company's share of the joint ventures' operations' earnings or loss is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as equity income (loss) from foreign joint ventures' operations. Joint venture income increases the carrying value of the joint venture investment and joint venture losses, as well as dividends received from the joint ventures, reduce the carrying value of the investment.
Carrying Value of Joint Venture Investments - We evaluate the carrying value of equity method investments as to whether an impairment adjustment may be necessary. In making this evaluation, a variety of quantitative and qualitative factors are considered including national and local economic, political and market conditions, industry trends and prospects, liquidity and capital resources and other pertinent factors.
The Company's management does not separately review and analyze its assets on a segment basis for TP&S, E&I, and AAT and all assets for the segments are recorded within the corporate segment's records. Corporate and other unallocated expenses include compensation costs and other expenses that cannot be meaningfully associated with the individual segments, all other costs, expenses and other income have been allocated to their respective segments.
Sales to foreign joint ventures are made on an arms-length basis and intercompany profits, if any, are eliminated in consolidation. See Footnote 5 in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial statements for detailed financial information on the foreign joint ventures.
The following table represents revenue and income (loss) from domestic operations and equity in foreign joint ventures attributable to the business segments for the period indicated (in thousands):

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
A non- GAAP financial measure is generally defined as one that purports to measure historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows, but excludes or includes amounts that would not be so adjusted in the most comparable GAAP measure. In this report, we define and use the non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted EBITDA as set forth below.
Adjusted EBITDA
Definition of Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA as follows:
Net income (loss) before:
• provision (benefit) for income taxes;
• non-operating (income) expense items;
• depreciation and amortization;
• non-cash stock-based compensation expense;
• dividends on mandatorily redeemable preferred stock; and
• Non-recurring items charged against or included in income(*);
* In the first quarter of 2012, we included a $212 expense in cost of sales related primarily to the decision to exit the water/waste water market sector for this segment which was identified as non-recurring.
Management's Use of Adjusted EBITDA
We use Adjusted EBITDA to assess our overall financial and operating performance. We believe this non-GAAP measure, as we have defined it, is helpful in identifying trends in our day-to-day performance because the items excluded have little or no significance on our day-to-day operations. This measure provides an assessment of controllable expenses and affords management the ability to make decisions which are expected to affiliate meeting current financial goals as well as achieve optimal financial performance. It provides an indicator for management to determine if adjustments to current spending decisions are needed.
Adjusted EBITDA provides us with a measure of financial performance, independent of items that are beyond the control of management in the short-term, such as dividends required on preferred stock, depreciation and amortization, taxation and interest expense associated with our capital structure. This metric measures our financial performance based on operational factors that management can impact in the short-term, namely the cost structure or expenses of the organization. Adjusted EBITDA is one of the metrics used by senior management and the board of directors to review the financial performance of the business on a regular basis. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by research analysts and investors to evaluate the performance of and value companies in our industry.
Limitations of Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool. It should not be viewed
in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures of earnings. Material
limitations in making the adjustments to our earnings to calculate Adjusted
EBITDA, and using this non-GAAP financial measure as compared to GAAP net income
(loss), include:
• the cash portion of dividends and interest expense, income tax (benefit) provision and non-recurring charges related to ongoing operations generally represent charges (gains), which may significantly affect our financial results; and
• depreciation and amortization, though not directly affecting our current cash position, represent the wear and tear and/or reduction in value of our fixed assets and may be indicative of future needs for capital expenditures.
An investor or potential investor may find this item important in evaluating our performance, results of operations and financial position. We use non-GAAP financial measures to supplement our GAAP results in order to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business.
Adjusted EBITDA is not an alternative to net income, income from operations or cash flows provided by or used in operations as calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. You should not rely on Adjusted EBITDA as a substitute for any such GAAP financial measure. We strongly urge you to review the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, along with our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein.
We also strongly urge you to not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. In addition, because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and is susceptible to varying calculations, the Adjusted EBITDA measure, as presented in this report, may differ from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
The table below shows the reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders to Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 (dollars in thousands):
(Unaudited) Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30, 2012 2011 2012 2011 Net Income (loss) attributable to common stockholders $ 500 $ 359 $ 1,595 $ (690 ) . . .

The upstart Aam Aadmi Party appeared headed for a victory in state elections in the national capital of Delhi, according to exit polls released on Saturday. Read More »
If Indian politics had begun to seem uncharacteristically predictable, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party enjoying a months-long winning streak, voting in the national capital of Delhi on Saturday may offer a twist. Read More »
It might be counter intuitive (and let's face it most of what he does is) but Arvind Kejriwal's resignation just 49 days into his term in charge of Delhi last year has played well with voters ahead of elections in the capital Saturday. Read More »
The final day of campaigning for the Delhi elections Thursday brings to an end just under a month of political punch ups in the capital. Mudslinging is not new in Indian elections, but this campaign was particularly vicious. Read More »
On the face of it, the Delhi election on Saturday ought to evoke a yawn rather than a rush of adrenaline. After all, the state accounts for less than 2% of India's population, and its government does not even control its own police force. But the stakes in this vote are a lot higher than who gets to widen the city's clogged roads or fix its streetlights. Read More »
To be sure, opinion polling in India is far from an exact science and usually needs to be taken with a handful of salt. Nevertheless, the wind seems to be changing in favor of AAP, or the common man's party in a revival of fortunes after a drubbing in national elections last year. Read More »
For the second time in a little more than a year, India's capital city is gearing up for state elections. Voting takes place Saturday but in the days leading up to it, the front-runners are taking to the streets and giving voters a taste of a classic campaigning tactic: mudslinging.
Here are some of the best bits from the campaign so far. Read More »
Arvind Kejriwal was labeled a quitter and basically fell off the radar of many voters as well as the media after he stepped down as chief minister of Delhi. As he heads back to the campaign trail can he make a comeback in the newspapers?
India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday picked a young party member, Nupur Sharma, to take on the leader of the Aam Aadmi or Common Man party, Arvind Kejriwal, in the upcoming state elections in New Delhi. Read More »
New Delhi will go to the polls next month in an election that will indicate what voters in India's capital think of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's performance since he took office last year. Read More »
