We set up the company over a year ago, essentially to track my own portfolio investments within the biotechnology sector. This is a sector which I believe to be both undervalued and to offer excellent opportunities in its potential for growth. This is a view that I have outlined in the recently published book "Cracking the Code", which outlines the tremendous advances being made in the bio sciences as a result of the fusion of computer power and cumulative human discovery. Financial Review We raised net cash of just under £2.7 million (£3.0 million before listing expenses) in September 2011. I am pleased to report that, by the reporting date, we have increased our total assets to £3,156,154 - nearly a 17% return on available capital. This is despite the fact that it took some time to become invested. At the end of June 2012, we held cash of £237,391, a portfolio of assets valued at £2,909,183 and receivables of £9,580. During the same period, we have generated an income of £510,515 made up of £16,448 dividend income, net sales gains of £226,308 and net unrealised portfolio gains of £267,759. This, after subtracting all expenses of £94,062 and adding interest income and foreign exchange gains of £8,755, produced a total comprehensive income of £425,208. In addition, admission costs of £301,954 have been taken into equity. Bearing in mind the current size of the company, I and the board have been very careful to minimise on-going operating expenses. Thus we have been able to keep the annual running cost of the Company, after listing expenses, under a relatively modest £95,000. Strategy and Outlook Our strategy is very simple - to invest the portfolio into those bio-pharma companies which I hold in my personal portfolios. The bulk of the portfolio (approximately 70%) is and will be invested in companies that are cash generative, and often dividend paying, and which have market capitalisations in excess of US$ 5 billion. Many of these companies are situated in the USA, home to the bulk of the world's largest drug companies, but there are also representatives from elsewhere in the world, providing us with a diversified spread and a generous income stream. Names such as Pfizer, Inc., Sanofi SA, Celgene Corporation and GlaxoSmithKline fall into this category, and while growth for these companies is somewhat constrained by their sheer scale, and by rich-world government pressures on health care costs, they have substantial exposure to emerging markets. The combination of rich-world standards in drug manufacture and emerging market potential growth in sales is a potent one and leads us to believe that many of these large companies will experience better than expected sales and profits in the years ahead. Emerging markets currently have very low per capita expenditure on drugs and we believe that this provides significant opportunities. Furthermore, Price Earnings ratios and other measures of share values indicate fundamental opportunities in these larger companies. To provide greater, albeit more speculative, upside to the portfolio we also hold a range of smaller to medium sized companies which amount to approximately a third of the portfolio. Names such as Medivation, Inc. (which is commercialising a new prostate drug) and Plethora Solutions Holdings (developing a male sexual health product), as well as Summit plc (involved in research into Duchenne muscular dystrophy), all feature. This balanced portfolio approach we hope will continue to yield positive NAV results and we remain optimistic for the next year.

Notes (forming part of the financial statements for the period from 3 May 2011 (date of incorporation) to 30 June 2012) 1 Accounting policies Port Erin Biopharma Investments Limited is a Company domiciled in the Isle of Man. The Company's strategy is to create value for Shareholders through investing in companies that have the potential to generate substantial revenues through the development of biopharmaceutical drugs. The principal accounting policies are set out below. a) Statement of compliance The financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis except for the valuation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 30 October 2012. b) Basis of preparation Use of estimates and judgment The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision only affects that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Going concern The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, taking into consideration the level of cash and cash equivalents held by the Company. The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will have adequate resources for its continuing existence and projected activities for the foreseeable future, and for these reasons, continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2012. Functional and presentation currency These financial statements are presented in Pound Sterling which is the Company's functional currency. c) Investment income Any realised and unrealised gains and losses on investments are presented within Income. Interest income earned during the period, is accrued on a time apportionment basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and the effective rate applicable. Dividend income is recognised when a security held goes ex-dividend. Dividends are shown as net cash received, after the deduction of withholding taxes. d) Financial instruments Classification The Company classifies its investments in equity securities as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. These financial assets are classified as held for trading or designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception. Classification (continued) Financial assets held for trading are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss are those that are managed and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with the Company's documented investment strategy. Financial assets that are classified as loans and receivables include amounts due from brokers, other receivables and cash and cash equivalents. Recognition/de-recognition Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on their trade date, which is the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially measured at fair value. Investments are de-recognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Measurement Subsequent to initial recognition, all financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value. Any gains and losses arising from changes in Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Interest from Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income using the effective interest rate method. Dividend income from Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income when the Company's right to receive payment is established. Fair value measurement principles The fair value of investment holdings is based on their quoted market prices at the reporting date on a recognised exchange or in the case of non-exchange traded instruments, sourced from a reputable counterparty, without any deduction for estimated future selling costs. Financial assets are priced at their closing bid prices, while financial liabilities are priced at their closing offer prices. Company assets may, at any time include securities and other financial instruments or obligations that are thinly traded or for which no market exists and/or which are restricted as to their transferability under securities laws. If a quoted market price is not available on a recognised stock exchange, or a market is not sufficiently active for the market price to be considered reliable, or if a price is not available from a reputable counterparty, fair value of the financial instruments may be estimated by the Directors using valuation techniques, including use of recent arm's length market transactions, reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same, discounted cash flow techniques, option pricing models or any other valuation technique that provides a reliable estimate of prices obtained in actual market transactions. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with maturities of three months or less from the acquisition date that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in fair value. Compound financial instruments Compound financial instruments comprise convertible loans that can be converted to equity at the option of the issuer. The financial instrument is initially recognised at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, the derivative component is measured at fair value while the non-derivative loan component is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Trade and other receivables Trade and other receivables originated by the Company are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently stated at amortised cost less impairment losses. Trade and other payables Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequently they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. e) Share capital and share premium Ordinary shares are classified as equity. The ordinary shares of the Company have a par value of £0.000001 each. Excess proceeds received for the issue of shares has been credited to share premium. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. f) Share based payments - warrants The fair value of warrants is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model (where no fair value of the service or assets provided is evident) and is recognised as expense over the vesting period where applicable with a corresponding increase in equity. On determining fair values, terms and conditions attaching to the warrants are taken into account. Management is also required to make certain assumptions and estimates regarding such items as the life of warrants, volatility and forfeiture rates. Changes in the assumptions used to estimate fair value could result in materially different results. g) Foreign currencies Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. All differences are taken to the income statement. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. h) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are not yet effective for the period, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements: Effective date (accounting periods commencing on or after) New/Revised International Accounting Standards / International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS/IFRS) IFRS 9 Financial Instruments- Classification 1 January 2015 and Measurement IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements 1 January 2013 IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements 1 January 2013 IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other 1 January 2013 Entities IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement 1 January 2013 The Directors do not expect the adoption of the standards and interpretations to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements in the period of initial application. There has been no material impact on the Company's financial statements of new standards or interpretations that have come into effect during the current reporting period. i) Taxation The Company is subject to income tax at a rate of 0% in the Isle of Man, and accordingly, no tax has been provided for in these financial statements. The Company may be subject to withholding taxes in relation to income from investments, or investment realisation proceeds or gains, and such amounts will be accounted for as incurred. 2 Directors' fees The fees of Directors who served during the period from 3 May 2011 (date of incorporation) to 30 June 2012 were as follows: 2012 £ James Mellon - Thomas Winnifrith - Nicholas James Woolard 10,000 Denham Eke - ─────── 10,000 ═══════ On 6 May 2011, Shellbay Investments Limited entered into a letter of appointment with the Company to provide the services of James Mellon as Non-Executive Chairman of the Company.

These policies are intended to manage risks identified in such a way that opportunities to deliver the Company's objectives are achieved. The Company's risk management takes place in the context of day-to-day operations and normal business processes such as strategic and business planning. The Directors have identified each risk and are responsible for coordinating and continuously improving risk strategies, processes and measures in accordance with the Company's established business objectives. The Company's principal financial instruments consist of cash, receivables and payables arising from its operations and activities. The main risks arising from the Company's financial instruments and the policies for managing each of these risks are summarised below. Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with the counterparty's inability to fulfil its obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to investments, receivables and cash balances with the maximum exposure being the reported balance in the statement of financial position. The Company has a nominal level of debtors and as such the Company believes that the credit risk is minimal. The Company holds available cash with licensed banks which have a strong history. The Company considers the credit ratings of banks in which it holds funds in order to reduce exposure to credit risk. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was: Carrying amount 2012 £ Investments and loans Quoted 2,802,587 Unquoted 42,563 Convertible loans 64,033 Cash and cash equivalents 237,391 ─────── 3,146,574 ═══════ Market price risk Market price risk is the risk that the market price will fluctuate due to macro-economic issues such as changes in market factors specific to that security, market interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to significant market price risks as financial instruments recognised are linked to market price volatility. A 1% increase/decrease in market value of investments would increase/decrease equity and profit by £28,452. Cash flow and funding risk The Company is exposed to liquidity risk to the extent that it holds investments that it may not be able to sell quickly at close to fair value. The risk is managed by the Company by means of cash flow planning to ensure that future cash requirements are anticipated and, where financial instruments have to be sold to meet these requirements, the process is carried out in a controlled manner intended to minimise the liquidity risk involved. Interest rate risk A significant share of the Company's assets is comprised of cash held at banks. As a result, the Company is subject to risk due to fluctuations in the prevailing level of market interest rates. However, income earned from bank interest is not considered material to the Company's performance or financial position. Fair values of financial instruments At 30 June 2012 the carrying amounts of cash resources, trade and other receivables, and trade and other payables approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. Foreign currency risk The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to financial assets and liabilities that are denominated in a number of currencies.

The warrants may be exercised for 12.5 pence at any time within two years of the date of issue. The warrant exercise is either at the option of the holder or at the option of the Company, in the event that the closing price of the ordinary shares is more than 20 pence for five consecutive trading days. In considering the share subscription price, the lack of historic share price performance data, and the price and conditions attaching to exercise, the Directors deem the warrants to have no separate value from the shares issued on the Company's admission to AIM. The total number of share warrants in issue as at the year-end is set out below: Fair value of warrants at issue Grant Term in Exercise Recipients Date Years Price Issued Placing 9 September 2 £0.125 30,000,000 - subscribers 2011 12 Related party transaction Under an agreement dated 1 December 2011, Burnbrae Limited, a Company related to both James Mellon and Denham Eke, provide certain services, principally accounting and administration, to the Company. This agreement may be terminated by either party on three months' notice. The charge for services provided is £30,000 per annum. 13 Basic and diluted earnings per share The calculation of basic earnings per share of the Company is based on the profit for the year of £425,208 and the weighted average number of shares of 23,428,235 in issue during the period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares such as warrants and options. There is no dilutive effect at 30 June 2012 because the warrants are not able to be exercised until a market-based criterion is satisfied. This criterion had not been satisfied at 30 June 2012. 14 Commitments and contingent liabilities There are no known commitments or contingent liabilities as at the period end.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mumto1and1onway Good product, reasonable price. I intended to buy the Little Angel version fo this as it was cheaper but as there were non in stock when i needed it I bought this one and am very pleased. Still a reasonble price for quality of item, my son loves his first pillow. Perfect size for his cotbed/toddler bed. 31 January 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pygmelion Excellent purchase What can I say? My little one loves it, exactly what I wanted and for a good price. Very happy. 30 January 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by bexley good value very good value and a lovely pillow for our grandaughter - slept through the night happily so can't ask for more! 30 January 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by LITTLEGEM77 Perfect size Lovely item that fit's perfect in my daughters cotbed 28 January 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by ditsybabe9 Disappointing :-( This pillow seemed fine but it said wash before use, This I did according to washing instructions and was disappointed to find it had 'lumped up' when it came out of the washer and I had to try and pull the filling around to make it look 'pillow shaped'. Fortunately it is only for occasional use but I would look for a better quality one another time. 12 December 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by TheosMum Great pillow for little ones Bought this pillow for my 14 month old. Not too high, perfect for his age. 12 December 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by kiki74 Perfect first pillow We bought this for our 2 and a half year old as his first pillow and it's perfect. We were keen to find something that wouldn't be too bulky and other reviews convinced us this would be a good choice. It's ideal and the price was right for our budget. 23 September 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Blondiebob my daughter loves it my 2 yr old's 1st pillow- she loves it what more can i say?!! 30 August 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by LEng Excellent Toddler's first pillow I bought this for my 16 month old daughter as I felt she now needed a pillow for her cotbed. This product is perfect as a first pillow as it's not too high and is very soft. My daughter loves it and it's also encouraging her to stay at the same end of the bed during the night instead of ending up at the opposite end of the bed in the morning!! Would highly recommend this for parents looking for a first pillow. 26 August 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by MrJones Perfect for a weary head Bought 2 of these, the little one loves it and won't sleep without a pillow since using it. Took to it quickly, as its not too high - just about the right height. Would buy again, no problem! 10 August 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by AnnieEss Fantastic value!! Great comfy pillow, bought a more expensive one from next which became lumpy within the first month, my baby girl seems to like this one alot better. 25 May 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by chipolopolo best 14 May 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Admcg Super Soft Snuggly Pillow This pillow is very soft and bouncy, I am pleased it isn't too high as I didn't want my baby to notice a massive difference from sleeping without a pillow. She loves it and has slept soundly since. I also liked the added bonus of it being washable and anti-allergy and Asda was the cheapest after searching the internet for this particular pillow. 15 February 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by bear2011 Does the job My three year old finds this pillow comfortable and so far it has retained it's shape and plumpness. 30 December 2011
Rated 3 out of 5 by Claire321 Good Quality and Value Bought this for my little girl's cotbed, really pleased with it. Good size, good value for money, and my daughter sleeps really well with it. 03 October 2011

Japan's favorite wildlife activity is getting a followup in Japan - following last year's Monster Hunter 4 for the 3DS, Monster Hunter 4G will plan more hunting excursions on the same device in the fall. Siliconera reports that the news was announced during the Monster Hunter Festa 13 event, the participants of which presumably responded with a gentle golf clap and reserved nods of approval.
Monster Hunter 4 data will transfer over to 4G, so if you've imported last year's entry, you can keep slaying beasts without worry. Unlike Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, which reached the 3DS and Wii U and supported multiplayer between the two versions, 4G was only announced for the 3DS.
Update: In a video message to fans, producer Ryozo Tsujimoto announced that Monster Hunter 4G will receive an early 2015 Western release called Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. Tsujimoto confirmed that 4 Ultimate will support online play in addition to local play.

You may apply for federal and state financial aid by completing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is available beginning January 1 each year for the upcoming academic year.
The 2015-2016 FAFSA is for Summer 2015-Spring term 2016.
It is very important to file your FAFSA as early as possible beginning January 1 of each year to ensure your maximum award package. One important reason to file early is that some types of funding can be depleted as the year goes on depending on the volume of students applying for aid. Another is that the Oregon Student Access Commission has listed a cutoff date of February 1 for reviewing eligibility for the Oregon Opportunity Grant that they award to Oregon residents through the FAFSA.
*Your first step is to apply early by completing your FAFSA beginning January 1 every year!
*The next step will be to check your email often as all CCC correspondence will be via the email address you list on your FAFSA. You will receive further information and/or requests for documents from CCC to complete your application.
Important note: Your financial aid award is not only based on your FAFSA information and the date you complete it but also on the date you complete all other CCC requirements.
FAFSA will direct financial aid applicants and their parents to retrieve, directly from the IRS, certain income and other information they had reported on their federal tax returns and to automatically transfer that information to their appropriate year FAFSA. This is referred to as the IRS Data Retrieval process and was designed to provide an easier way for students and parents to provide tax information accurately. Since filing a FAFSA is recommended in January which is before the April tax deadline, students and parents will be instructed to complete the FAFSA with estimates and simply go back to their FAFSA after they file taxes and request the IRS Data Retrieval option. FAFSA will provide lots of information and instructions to applicants about this throughout the online application process.
Tip: The 7 Easy Steps to the FAFSA is a great tutorial that talks you through the sections of the 2015-2016 FAFSA in easy to understand steps. It is a great reference to use before completing your FAFSA to assist you with understanding the questions and the financial aid process.
Tip: For additional line by line help on the FAFSA, go to Completing the FAFSA.
Apply on-line
Applying online at at www.fafsa.gov is the quickest and easiest way to apply for aid. It immediately identifies potential errors and prompts you to make corrections.
Before you file, we recommend you complete a FAFSA on the Web Worksheet. This worksheet provides assistance in collecting the required information before you complete the FAFSA on the Web. The worksheet can be downloaded from the FAFSA website.
The following information is needed prior to filing your FAFSA on the Web:
Note that Clatsop has many computers around campus that have Internet access if you are interested in applying electronically and don't have access to a computer.
Complete a PDF FAFSA
The PDF FAFSA is available for you to print and fill out manually or is screen-fillable at Federal Student Aid. It must be mailed for processing to the address printed on the FAFSA application.
Complete a Paper FAFSA
If you do not have Internet access, you can obtain a paper FAFSA application by calling the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-4-FED-AID (1-800-433-3243).

VANCOUVER -- Vancouver Canucks center Brad Richardson was one of several forwards who didn't practice Friday, but coach Willie Desjardins sounded optimistic Richardson will play in Game 6 of the Western Conference First Round series against the Calgary Flames on Saturday (9 p.m. ET; NBCSN, CBC, TVA Sports).
If Game 4 in Calgary was any indication, the Canucks will need him.
Richardson is one of Vancouver's top penalty-killers, and without him and right wing Alexandre Burrows, who is out for the series with an undisclosed injury, Calgary scored on its first two power plays in a 3-1 victory in Game 4.
With Richardson back in the lineup for Game 5 on Thursday, the Canucks gave up one shot while killing off all three Flames man-advantages, including two in the third period of a 2-1 victory.

The whole idea of this plan would be about knowing your neighbors better, just as people used to a generation or two ago. It is nice to know when someone is ill or on vacation," said Rizzo.
Rizzo said building a better block would result in a better village. Kastberg said the plan would benefit the village.
"The idea makes great sense to me, and I know that village department heads would want to work with local residents. I can see this effort paying real dividends for residents," said Kastberg. "Each involved citizen is another pair of eyes watching out for the welfare of the village.""

Spatial population structure of yellowstone bison

AbstractIncreases in Yellowstone National Park, USA, bison (Bison bison) numbers and shifts in seasonal distribution have resulted in more frequent movements of bison beyond park boundaries and development of an interagency management plan for the Yellowstone bison population. Implementation of the plan under the adaptive management paradigm requires an understanding of the spatial and temporal structure of the population. We used polythetic agglomerative hierarchical cluster analysis of radiolocations obtained from free-ranging bison to investigate seasonal movements and aggregations. We classified radiolocations into 4 periods: annual, peak rut (15 Jul-15 Sep), extended rut (1 Jun-31 Oct), and winter (1 Nov-31 May). We documented spatial separation of Yellowstone bison into 2 segments, the northern and central herds, during all periods. The estimated year-round exchange rate (4.85-5.83%) of instrumented bison varied with the fusion strategy employed. We did not observe exchange between the 2 segments during the peak rut and it varied during the extended rut (2.15-3.23%). We estimated a winter exchange of 4.85-7.77%. The outcome and effectiveness of management actions directed at Yellowstone bison may be affected by spatial segregation and herd affinity within the population. Reductions based on total population size, but not applied to the entire population, may adversely affect one herd while having little effect on the other. Similarly, management actions targeting a segment of the population may benefit from the spatial segregation exhibited.

As I said in that other thread (and as we both know that I've said to you on more than one occasion before) it ought to be possible to criticize or to mock positions taken or opinions stated without taking swipes at the people who express them. This seeming inability to avoid making things personal has been a recurring problem for you from your earliest posts on this forum, and here's where I draw the line:
Don't do it again.
At all.
Just as you are not your opinion, other people are not theirs. If you continue to be unable to keep people and their opinions separate, then you probably shouldn't be posting on this forum. If you insist upon taking personal swipes at other posters for expressing opinions with which you do not agree, then you need to take that behavior off TrekBBS and post it somewhere else, because here it will henceforth earn you warnings.
I sincerely hope that I have made myself clear.
Always acknowledge a fault frankly. This will throw those in authority
off their guard and give you opportunity to commit more.

Sometimes things are joined together with the use of a continuous helical spiraled-thread on a cylindrical shank from which it projects, typically inserted by a mechanical or manual driven screwdriver.
A recent article written by Dan Denner, president of the National Federation of Independent Business, explains how this method was used in joining tax paying Americans to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, with its passage.
Danner says, "A nasty curve ball officially known as the "Employer Mandate" which financially penalizes employers with 50 or more employees based on the affordability of the employer's health care coverage, or lack thereof. Keep in mind; these are in fact penalties, not tax deductible business expenses." (It appears more like a screwball to me).
He continues, "The mandate also penalizes employers who do not offer coverage. A business with just 50 employees will pay $40,000 per year for not providing health care coverage." Faced with interpreting such convoluted instructions, employers are vulnerable to missing a minor regulatory signal lurking deep within the 2,000 plus pages of the health care law."
In closing he states, "If not repealed, the employer mandate will push the ability to provide health insurance even further away from small businesses."

The research team observed the use of the iris scanners, both informally (Dataset 1) and formally (Dataset 2), using systematic social observation methods, collected "official" data on school visitation patterns (Dataset 3), and administered surveys to parents and teachers (Datasets 4-7). The various data collection methods were intended to shed light on two key issues: what was the experience of the schools in implementing iris recognition technology, and what was the overall impact of the technology. Specific variables included in the study are demographic variables on survey respondents (parents and teachers), perceptions of safety and problems in the schools and surrounding neighborhoods, and comparisons of the T-PASS system to alternative entry systems such as the buzzer and swipe card methods. 2013-06-28 administrative records data event/transaction data survey data 4210 10.3886/ICPSR04210.v1 New Jersey United States 2002-10--2003-07 ICPSR metadata records are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0 United States License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/us/).

iPod sales, music player market \"cooling?\"

iPod sales cooling?
In an article published yesterday, The Financial Times asks, "just how long can the iPod " Investors and analysts are pondering just that question as Apple prepares to report fiscal third-quarter results after the market closes today. "There are a number of indicators that suggest the digital music player market is cooling.[...] Apple recently cut prices on two of its music player models, including the iPod, a move the company said would help it capture market share. Some observers believed the price cuts pointed to slowing demand." The report also notes that consumers can actually find iPods in stock at Apple retail stores -- "a far cry from the waits that customers faced just a few months ago."

Get a frame and cobble your own bag onto that. I got me a very nice Ortlieb SlingIt Small, and Velcro'd the bottom and magneted the top to the frame. The frame was made narrower.

I've been looking at just the frame. I've got 3-4 lumbar and day packs and I don't see why I couldn't just bungee something on a frame. Then, I'd have something more useful for hiking too when I leave the bike in the rig.

All about brompton luggage one way or another. I am in the process of adding a soft top to the Brompton "basket" with a rolltop (can also use a drawstring) to avoid stuff falling out. Wil continue with the project and post pics as soon as I finished my kitchen remodelling. I think somebody else on the forum is doing the same.
°Empty drums make a lot of noice... (Old Hungarian proverb).
I had a messenger bag with a waist belt,
I laced the waist belt thru the front bag frame, snapped the buckle shut,
and put a piece of Coroplast in the bag, as a stiffener.
I added a shoulder strap to the folding basket recently, something I'd had in mind to do since I got it. I tend to put a messenger-type bag inside the basket and if I need to go shopping I can put the messenger bag over my shoulder and the folding basket is empty. Having a shoulder strap for the basket (or whatever luggage) is crucial for certain things, i.e. if I need to completely fold the bike and carry it having the basket on my shoulder gives me a free hand for opening doors etc..
I've got the Carradice front bag but I never use it as the basket is generally more useful.
Adidas Adapted Bag Front View Medium Size.jpgBeaded Blue Bike Bit Closer Front View.jpg
Been there, done that with my own Brompton-and the other bikes I have or had too. I either adapt already sewn bags to my Brompton's front frame (the large blue bag) , or I simply make one myself for the frame (the black one with the beaded bicycle image on the front).

So while it's interesting to see what creative ways some of you get around buying Brompton luggage, I'll try again - does anyone know of a source that sell their luggage for less than MAP pricing?

Guess not.they, are not racing to the bottom.
have no 'bikes direct' and don't sell to Wall Mart.
and there is the dollar to UK-pound exchange rate in addition.

I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and buy the frame or a frame/bag combo. The saddle post bag just won't cut it and if I ride in warmer weather I hate having a day or lumbar pack strapped behind my back.
I cheaped out and didn't get the rack on mine so I guess I'll have to pay the piper to get the post mounted set-up. I do have the block which was mounted on the bike I ordered through the guy up in NorCal. I had to mail order the bike as there are no dealers anywhere near me. I looked at them last year at the store in El Segundo but they didn't have what I wanted in stock. I'd also ridden Dahons and a couple Bike Fridays at the store down in Laguna but didn't care for either.
I updated my Brompton with some Ergon grips and a Brooks B-17 and the bike is always in the back of my Land Cruiser, ready to ride at a moment's notice. My longest ride was nearly 30 miles and I'd wished I'd had more space.
So the question is: frame only and strap on a day pack, or get the basket, C bag or T bag???
2002 Novara Ponderosa HT MTB
2011 Brompton ML6
I have the basket also; I thought that would be my everywhere carry-all solution. However it is rather BIG. That's why I cobbled my own alternative solution together - I wanted something that is guaranteed waterproof, and Brompton items aren't, or extremely costly.
My folding bike photo essays www.dekter.net/
I think all that stuff looks big too, even the S bag. I don't commute or shop by bike, I just like to ride for fun and have a bike with me wherever I go. I just need something I can shove a windbreaker and windpants in as well as a little lunch and a few more items than I can stick in my little wedge saddle pack.
2002 Novara Ponderosa HT MTB
2011 Brompton ML6
Combine German Ortlieb bags made exclusively for Brompton,
and the price really goes up,
but they now sell a ready to snap on the frame mount clip version
of handlebar, and Downtown bags
Seam welded construction, keeps stuff dry..
The folding basket is big, just about right for groceries for one person I find. I get the impression that it acts a a sail/wind brake in headwinds. . . I've no idea how substantial this effect is but in headwinds I do find myself resenting it's presence, rationally or not. Jur's narrower frame/bag combo looks elegant.
I'm a big fan of the Brompton front bags, as I think they work brilliantly. But there are other options, particularly if you want something smaller. There's this:
Or this:
Or even something like this:
All of these use leather straps to go through the two attachment points on the saddle and then a third strap loops around the seatpost. Larger sizes are available, too.
Did you try e-bay or similar? I`d guess sometimes peopel buy the wrong bag and want to sell it again.
°Empty drums make a lot of noice... (Old Hungarian proverb).
I've looked for used on the usual places but like FF points out, most of the time people want nearly new prices for them.

At a GlanceVillage of Hope is ministering to children by providing love and wisdom while watching brokenness be made new. Learn More »
Get Involved
There are so many ways you can help us serve orphans in Guatemala. your financial support and prayers help make our mission possible!
Our Mission
Village of Hope (VOH) will be caring for special needs orphans in San Lucas, Guatemala and teaching them about the love of Jesus Christ. The vision for Village of Hope was born out the knowledge that God has a heart for the least of these. Scripture reveals a God who is passionate about the sick, the widow, the orphan, the alien and the poor.
Our purpose is to provide family, faith and a future to the least of these by providing holistic orphan care to special needs orphans, primarily focused on those living with HIV/AIDS. To avoid an institutional living atmosphere and provide an family style setting. Our hope is to create a family unit as God intended: to provide life-long support and to teach children Christian life values.
Because international adoptions from Guatemala are closed, there is little hope of the children ever begin adopted into forever families. One part of our vision is to develop relationships with the Guatemalan Evangelical churches, to come along side of them, educating them on God's heart for the orphan, and opening their eyes to the gift of adoption.
Our purpose is to provide family, faith and a future to the least of these by providing holistic orphan care to special needs orphans, primarily focused on those living with HIV/AIDS.
IMPACT of Village of Hope:
- Providing family, faith and future to orphans with HIV/AIDS
- Building & operation of group homes
- Outreach to the community
- Offering hope in Christ-teaching biblical truth

I wonder if those of use that can purchase A & Z plan from Ford can do a reservation and then get the A or Z plan price??
Sweet !!! and I hope the hater bloggers stay away from future positive stories about the Big Three USA home brands.
Brilliant marketing. Place an imaginary 1000 orders for the car so idiot "journalists" can make it a story. There is no way in hell that 1000 people have lined up 7 months in advance for a subcompact Fiesta.
Ford couldn't have come up with a better name? I don't think the Fiesta of the '80s is warmly remembered.
John II, way. I believe there have been on order of over 1/2 million Fiesta's sold in Europe since it's launch, plus there's the rest of the world. Car followers aware of what's going on around the globe are knowledgeable of the vehicle and are eager to have one here in the states. Add to this there may be a good number of Ford employees themselves who are signing up to get one and you can't discount the reach and success of the Fiesta Movement. So why such a vile reaction, John ? Your glass half empty (or more) ?
Same phenomenon happened with MINI and with smart. Get the marketing going early, create a buzz, and they will come.
Jerry, Yes, AXZ Plan should apply.
Pointless article. Why?
Because there's no deposit, and the reservations can be cancelled at any time. It's simply an easy way to get free options on a car.
I'd do this if I had any chance that I'd buy a Festiva. And then cancel it when I bought a Hyundai with a hellacious warranty.
BTW, the Fiesta name is a pretty crappy legacy to overcome.
I like everything that I've have read about this vehicle. As a patriotic American who knows a good vehicle when I see one I AM SOLD! Why should I support a foreign military when I can by something made in the USA by an American company with great quality. I have grandchildren to think about.
Hard Driver - FYI The new Fiesta will be built in Mexico.
The Pre 90s thinking of buying a specific car brand to support future American generations no longer applies...American cars are built out of the country in some cases, in most cases, American cars have a large amount of foreign parts in them and many foreign cars are built here...So American vs foreign no longer applies...Either you buy an American car and the final dollars stay here or you buy most foreign cars built here and you support jobs in a plant here, but the final dollars go overseas....Either way, if you don't support both, America suffers by way of jobs or dollars....So just be grateful when any new car is purchased...It's now a global economy.....
The photo in this story is NOT the 2011 Ford Fiesta. The Fiesta looks much better.
In the European combined cycle fuel mileage tests, the diesel Fiesta got 76 MPG, the 1.6 L gasoline engine (most likely for the US) got 48 MPG. (Yes. Seventy-six and forty-eight MPG, respectively.)
Testers have been raving about this car's ride and handling.
If all the buzz is mainly true and Ford keeps the quality up, the Fiesta is going to take over the subcompact segment.
Hard Driver may obviously have a large family to support, in Mexico. (Smile)
All the USA haters woke up and parrotted the same old nonsense as usual. Let's just say this will be a great small car that will get great mileage. I had a 1978 Fiesta that I bought used with 88,000 miles and it worked fine for the 5 years I had it; it was unstaoppable in snow on hills, I sold it to the thrid owner when I got a used 1981 Escort with about 70,000 miles and kept that as a snow car for almost 10 years.
So all this nonsense that your Asian brand is better is nonsense to me who has had NO problems with only buying USA 3 brands my whole life.
My first car was a 1991 Ford Mustang with 138K miles on it. I traded it in at 285K miles to get a brand new 2004 Ford Mustang. So far I have 43K miles on my Mustang with no problems. Every car brand has its junk (lemons); even Toyota and Honda. What car companies and dealers should do is provide great customer service in those events. Hopefully I never buy a lemon (clunker).

Those eager to snag the latest model (but who missed the brief, early-hours window) can either order online now (and expect at least a two-week wait for delivery) or camp outside an Apple retail stores on Sep. 21 where iPhone 5 sales commence at 8 a.m. local times.
The new phones start at $199 with a two-year contract with AT&T, Verizon or Sprint.
This year's buyer momentum has been unprecedented. Pre-orders for iPhone 4S, the most recent predecessor, sold out in about 22 hours, according to All Things D. The iPhone 5 frenzy was mostly smooth sailing (or clicking) but some users reported web glitches that directed them to Apple help hotline.
