Throughout the creative process, dancers drew upon personal experiences, including the loss in 2010 of Canadian stage and film actress Jackie Burroughs, a highly dedicated contemporary dance enthusiast whose enduring presence inspired many dance artists throughout her lifetime. The work explores the power of reaction—how we observe, absorb and ultimately respond.

Now, the doom-sayers -- or "haters" if you prefer -- will go on to tell me that this is all happening because Mythic is worried about Wrath of the Lich King or some other looming bedtime monsters. What really seems to be happening here is that Mythic is heavily supporting their newly launched MMO, and setting a new standard while doing it -- something I do think Blizzard could learn from a bit. If the content update is released come December and it turns out to be buggy and half-assed then we can deal with that situation when it arrives. Meanwhile, I'm happy that a developer isn't taking forever to push out much needed updates.
Oh but wait, they're only kind of doing that. I'm actually a little disappointed with Mythic for not hitting us with that retweaking to itemization and rewards in RvR sooner. In all fairness, there's probably some balancing to be done -- I just think it seems like the kind of issue that needs quicker addressing. Even if it was just a couple small fixes, it would at least make me feel better about my loot drops in the RvR experience. I am, however, happy to hear that work is being done to draw people into open RvR, as Scenarios tend to be where all the action is happening for me right now.
With the announcement that Black Guards and Knights of the Blazing Sun are being added back into the mix first, I'm glad I made my choice to switch out of a tank class temporarily. I still think that tanks could be tweaked a little bit any Mythic has said that some class improvements were coming with this first content update, so I may be vindicated. As long as I'm on this note, a word to the wise: Responding to anything with a long or short version of "learn to play" is a fruitless endeavor. It would be equally ridiculous for me to respond with "learn to comment" because it does nothing to further the conversion.
While we all wait for the first large update to WAR, I hope that Mythic continues to address play grievances where and when they're able. The biggest test is going to be the frequency and quality of the larger content updates. If this first one does indeed hit in December -- Jacobs is pretty careful to mention that nothing is promised here -- then that's a good start. Ideally I'd like to see the other two classes added back into the game by March, but we'll see. Who knows? Maybe Mythic will surprise us with a February release, which would earn them much respect.
Latest in Gaming
Warhammer Online has its flaws that like to run up and slap you in the face from time to time -- it can put a damper on the fun. Lucky for us, one of the strengths found in Warhammer Online actually comes from its design team, Mythic Entertainment. These guys (and gals!) have been stringing together a daisy-chain of updates and just yesterday announced their first big content release only one month out of launch. The update seems all good, but I do have a couple of gripes.

The Subject: Usain Bolt, the world's fastest man
The Watch: Hublot King Power Usain Bolt
The Details:"I have a great collection of Hublot watches but this one is my favourite—the Usain Bolt King Power. Hublot made it as a limited edition of 250 pieces. It has a gold leather strap made from the same material as the Puma spikes I wore in the 2008 Olympic Games. The dial features my 'to di world' pose. It's a watch that people notice but remains classy and elegant."

RE: Kowloon Hotel to Fotan Shatin New Territories?
The cheapest way is by KCR from East Tsim Sha Tsui to either Fotan or Shatin. It charges about HK$12 by signle journey.
as the Kowloon hotel is next to the Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station, you just can walk through the MTR station to KCR station. It takes about 10 mins.

- It's got all the features: Opera got extension support in version 11, it never had an API. Yet I wanted an API only for one addon, LastPass. I never missed any other feature in Opera, neither did I install any other addon. Later I did find a text-box autocomplete addon which I liked, but I never missed this feature. In fact, whenever I installed Firefox, I looked for addons which would make it look and feel like Opera. So what are these features I am talking about? Notes, sidebar, bitTorrent support, bookmarks & notes synchronization, speed dial, custom search engines to name a few.
- Most customizable interface: Opera has got the most customizable interface of all browsers. You can customize the mouse gestures easily. You can have 2 commands in the same gesture like Open and close sidebar, so it will act according to the current status of the sidebar, this feature is not present in any other browser, with or without addons. Creating new gestures or keyboard shortcuts is a breeze and you don't even need to do any coding. You can place any toolbar button on any toolbar, even a bookmark on the statusbar! You can place buttons on the statusbar, tabbar, sidebar etc. If a button refuses to be placed, just hold shift to place it there.
- Email Client and Feed reader: It has got built in email client and feed reader, so you don't need to open other application to check your mail or feed. Plus they integrate so well with the interface that you need just a couple of clicks to access them. They are easily configured and easy to use.
- Smooth interface: Although I make Firefox mimic Opera's features with the help of addons, it never feels as smooth as Opera. Since all addons come separately, they only integrate with Firefox, not with each other. So, for instance, you can open a bookmark in the All in One Sidebar, but it will never show as a button. Plus, mouse gestures do not work as smoothly in any other browser, no matter where the gesture starts or where it ends, it will work, on any tab.
- On the fly webpage modification: This might not seem to be a very useful feature, but it is fun. Plus it is unique to Opera; no other browser allows you to do this. You can open the source of any webpage, make changes and hit apply changes. The changes will show up in the original webpage (the modification will take place only on your PC, not the source page on the server).
- Comes on all platforms: In the past couple of years, computing devices have emerged in a lot of shapes, sizes and forms. So while one may be using a Windows PC, someone else may be using Linux. Some may be using Android, some Symbian, some iPhone, some blackberry and what not. Again the same person may have Windows on his PC and Mac OS X on his laptop. But on each of these devices, you could be using Opera. Not only will that keep the experience similar by providing similar interface, you could also have your bookmarks and speed dial synchronized across all these devices. That's something only Opera can offer you.
So, enough of my chatter about Opera, if you still don't feel like trying it, nothing will convince you to. So, go ahead and download it right now. Try all the features and tell me if didn't feel like you had missed something by not using this browser. New versions keep coming, mostly one every year, or so. Even though it has the highest number of features compared to any other browser, new versions always bring in new features. Version 11.5, now in alpha, is about to bring extensions for Speed Dial. I am waiting with bated breath for what people can do with it.
If you try Opera and like it, don't forget to leave a comment.
If you are an Opera fan like me, share this post with your arrogant friends to let them know of the benefits of using Opera.
P.S.: I am in no way trying to offend the users or developers of Firefox, it is a great browser and has remained my second most preferred browser after Opera for a long time
Update: Opera Logo changed on suggestion from an Opera India

A Mt. Eden man was severely burned Saturday night when his oxygen tube ignited.
The unidentified elderly man was reportedly smoking when the plastic tubing supplying oxygen to a nasal cannula was compromised. A flash fire ignited the man's clothes and couch.

The man's wife, also unidentified, extinguished the flames before calling 911.

The first was located in the 4400 block of Plum Creek Road in Elk Creek. A call to 911 reported that a garage on the property was on fire.

Hi, Please include support for import tags. If current existing ant-build file opened in Ant-Editor can be loaded for a visual representation, then so does the static import of other ant-build files should be supported for the graphical representation. Also, does the Ant-Visualization view have to be tightly coupled with the Ant-Editor?

Best Ride That's Outta This World (2008)
Challenger Space Center
Friends often accuse us of having our heads in outer space. They don't know the half of it. Since childhood, we've dreamed of becoming astronauts. Alas, our feeble skills in science and math ruled out such a career path. So pending the day when the whole space-tourism thing becomes a more practical (and affordable) reality, the closest we're getting to trekking among the stars is by visiting the Challenger Space Center in Peoria.
This futuristic-looking facility offers a pair of simulated missions, where Neil Armstrong wanna-bes can participate in a pair of interactive two-hour experiences replicating (to a certain degree) a journey through the final frontier and life aboard the International Space Station. (Participants also get a turn at working as a flight crew in the million-dollar mission control facility inspired by the Johnson Space Center in Houston.) After sitting in the Earth Space Transit Module (which "transports" you into the cosmos), you can either help launch interstellar probes to encounter celestial bodies during "Rendezvous with a Comet," or take an excursion to the red planet in "Voyage to Mars."
Don't worry about motion sickness; there's no movement involved. It's more a cerebral adventure involving video screens that's somewhat akin to the old Mission to Mars ride at Disneyland — just without all those creepy-looking animatronic automatons.

excepting credit cards with Paypal Here linked to quickbooks
I was wondering if anyone uses "Paypal Here" to accept credit cards when it comes time to bill. I was always wondering is there anyway I can pull up the invoice I made on my laptop with quickbooks? Basically, I am wondering if I can pull up an invoice from quickbooks, swipe the customers credit card, have the money go into my bank account and make the invoice as paid?
Is this possible? Sorry it may sound a little confusing, but I cannot think of any other way to word it.

ABSTRACT: There is evidence from immunohistochemistry, quantitative microchemistry, and pharmacology for several amino acids as neurotransmitters in the vestibular nuclear complex (VNC), including glutamate, γ-aminobutyrate (GABA), and glycine. However, evidence from measurements of release has been limited. The purpose of this study was to measure depolarization-stimulated calcium-dependent release of amino acids from the VNC in brain slices. Coronal slices containing predominantly the VNC were prepared from rats and perfused with artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF) in an interface chamber. Fluid was collected from the chamber just downstream from the VNC using a microsiphon. Depolarization was induced by 50 mM potassium in either control calcium and magnesium concentrations or reduced calcium and elevated magnesium. Amino acid concentrations in effluent fluid were measured by high performance liquid chromatography. Glutamate release increased fivefold during depolarization in control calcium concentration and twofold in low calcium/high magnesium. These same ratios were 6 and 1.5 for GABA, 2 and 1.3 for glycine, and 2 and 1.5 for aspartate. Differences between release in control and low calcium/high magnesium ACSF were statistically significant for glutamate, GABA, and glycine. Glutamine release decreased during and after depolarization, and taurine release slowly increased. No evidence for calcium-dependent release was found for serine, glutamine, alanine, threonine, arginine, taurine, or tyrosine. Our results support glutamate and GABA as major neurotransmitters in the VNC. They also support glycine as a neurotransmitter and some function for taurine.

ABSTRACT: Changes in concentrations of amino acids, especially GABA, glutamate, and aspartate, occur in vestibular nuclei after removal of cerebellar and labyrinth inputs. Here, we examined the effects of transecting midline-crossing connections between the two vestibular nuclear complexes, which especially include commissural connections. Three rats were euthanized at each of 2, 7, and 30 days after a midline cut at the level of the vestibular nuclei. Two sham-lesioned rats were prepared for surgery but no cut made. Samples of superior (SuVN), dorsal and ventral lateral (LVNd and LVNv), dorsal and ventral medial (MVNd and MVNv), and spinal vestibular nuclei (SpVN) were microdissected from freeze-dried coronal sections and assayed for amino acid concentrations. Reductions of GABA concentration occurred by 2 days and continued through 30 days after surgery in most regions. Glutamate and aspartate concentrations decreased by 2 days in LVN and MVN, then glutamate showed some recovery by 30 days. Glutamine and taurine concentrations increased in almost all regions. Glycine concentration decreased in MVN and LVNv. Our results support association of GABA, glutamate, aspartate, and to some extent glycine, with vestibular crossed connections. Comparisons to our previous studies suggest some complex lesion effects, especially in LVNd.
Article: Comparison of gamma-aminobutyrate receptors in the medial vestibular nucleus of control and Scn8a mutant mice.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The Purkinje cells of the cerebellum provide inhibitory input to vestibular nucleus neurons, with gamma-aminobutyrate (GABA) as neurotransmitter. Using extracellular recordings and bath application of agonists and antagonists, we compared GABA receptors in the medial vestibular nucleus of brain slices from Scn8a mutant mice of med(J) type, in which there is greatly reduced spontaneous and evoked activity of Purkinje cells, to those in slices from control mice. Muscimol, an agonist at GABA(A) receptors, produced a larger reduction of firing rate in neurons of mutant mice than in neurons of control mice, whereas there was no difference for baclofen, an agonist at GABA(B) receptors. In most cases tested, the effects of muscimol and baclofen remained similar when synaptic transmission was blocked, suggesting that the effects were predominantly directly upon GABA receptors of the neurons being recorded from. The up-regulation of GABA(A) receptors was similar in magnitude to that previously found for rats with bilateral transection of the inferior cerebellar peduncle. It may relate in both cases to reduced Purkinje cell input to medial vestibular nucleus neurons. The lack of effect on GABA(B) receptors suggests that the changes found with peduncle transection may have resulted from something more than reduced Purkinje cell activity, such as reduced concentrations of GABA, or that reduction of Purkinje cell activity in Scn8a mutant mice was insufficient to affect GABA(B) receptors. Other possible explanations of the results cannot be excluded since the Scn8a mutation affects other neuron types besides Purkinje cells.
Article: Changes of amino acid concentrations in the rat vestibular nuclei after inferior cerebellar peduncle transection[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Although there is a close relationship between the vestibular nuclear complex (VNC) and the cerebellum, little is known about the contribution of cerebellar inputs to amino acid neurotransmission in the VNC. Microdissection of freeze-dried brain sections and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were combined to measure changes of amino acid concentrations within the VNC of rats following transection of the cerebellovestibular connections in the inferior cerebellar peduncle. Distributions of 12 amino acids within the VNC at 2, 4, 7, and 30 days after surgery were compared with those for control and sham-lesioned rats. Concentrations of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) decreased by 2 days after unilateral peduncle transection in nearly all VNC regions on the lesioned side and to lesser extents on the unlesioned side and showed partial recovery up to 30 days postsurgery. Asymmetries between the two sides of the VNC were maintained through 30 days. Glutamate concentrations were reduced bilaterally in virtually all regions of the VNC by 2 days and showed complete recovery in most VNC regions by 30 days. Glutamine concentrations increased, starting 2 days after surgery, especially on the lesioned side, so that there was asymmetry generally opposite that of glutamate. Concentrations of taurine, aspartate, and glycine also underwent partially reversible changes after peduncle transection. The results suggest that GABA and glutamate are prominent neurotransmitters in bilateral projections from the cerebellum to the VNC and that amino acid metabolism in the VNC is strongly influenced by its cerebellar connections.
Article: Effects of cochlear ablation on choline acetyltransferase activity in the rat cochlear nucleus and superior olive[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Using microdissection and quantitative microassay, choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) activity was mapped in the cochlear nucleus (CN) and in the source nuclei of the olivocochlear bundle, the lateral superior olive and ventral nucleus of the trapezoid body. In control rats, gradients of ChAT activity were found within the major subdivisions of the CN and in the lateral superior olive. These gradients correlated with the known tonotopic organizations, with higher activities corresponding to locations representing higher sound frequencies. No gradient was found in the ventral nucleus of the trapezoid body. In rats surviving 7 days or 1 or 2 months after cochlear ablation, ChAT activity was increased 1 month after ablation in the anteroventral CN by 30-50% in most parts of the lesion-side and by 40% in the contralateral ventromedial part. ChAT activity in the lesion-side posteroventral CN was increased by approximately 40-50% at all survival times. Little change was found in the dorsal CN. Decreases of ChAT activity were also found ipsilaterally in the lateral superior olive and bilaterally in the ventral nucleus of the trapezoid body. Our results suggest that cholinergic neurons are involved in plasticity within the CN and superior olive following cochlear lesions.
Article: Spontaneous activity in rat vestibular nuclei in brain slices and effects of acetylcholine agonists and antagonists[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Extracellular recording was used to investigate spontaneously active neurons in all four major nuclei of the rat vestibular nuclear complex (VNC) in brainstem slices. The density of spontaneously active neurons was highest in the medial vestibular nucleus (MVN), slightly lower in the superior (SuVN) and spinal (SpVN) nuclei, and lowest in the lateral vestibular nucleus (LVN). We compared the effects of acetylcholine agonists and antagonists on spontaneously discharging neurons in MVN, SuVN, and SpVN with those in the nearby dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN). The proportion of neurons responding to carbachol was greatest in DCN and smallest in SpVN. Unlike in DCN, some neurons in MVN, SuVN, and SpVN showed decreased firing during carbachol or muscarine. Magnitudes of responses to carbachol and muscarine were closely correlated (P<0.01). MVN neurons possessed nicotinic as well as muscarinic receptors. Activation of either type was unaffected by blocking synaptic transmission. The IC(50) values for the muscarinic subtype-preferential antagonists were compared, and tropicamide, preferential for M(4), was the most potent. Our results suggest that: (1) the relative numbers of spontaneously active neurons in rat VNC differ among nuclei; (2) acetylcholine agonists elicit changes in mean firing rates of neurons in MVN, SuVN and SpVN, but fewer neurons respond, and responses are smaller than in DCN; (3) both muscarinic and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are present on MVN neurons, but muscarinic receptors may be more prominent.
Article: Plasticity of γ-aminobutyrate receptors in the medial vestibular nucleus of rat after inferior cerebellar peduncle transection[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Extracellular single unit recordings were made from regularly discharging medial vestibular nucleus neurons in brain slices from control rats and from rats surviving 7 days after bilateral transection of the inferior cerebellar peduncle. Decreases in firing rate during perfusion with the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) agonists, muscimol (GABA(A)) and baclofen (GABA(B)), were greater in lesioned rats than in control rats. For the grouped data, the half-maximally-effective concentrations of muscimol and baclofen were 3.2 microM, as compared with 19.6 microM for control, and 0.8 microM, as compared with 2.7 microM for control, respectively. The antagonists bicuculline (GABA(A)) and 2-OH-saclofen (GABA(B)) only minimally affected the spontaneous firing rates of neurons in lesioned rats, significantly less than in control rats. The data suggest that the decreases of endogenous GABA levels in the medial vestibular nucleus after inferior cerebellar peduncle transection are accompanied by up-regulation of GABA(A) and, to a lesser extent, GABA(B) receptors.

Arizona Cardinals
Report: Cardinals want Mike McCoy in for second interview
With the Denver Broncos eliminated from the playoffs, the battle to hire offensive coordinator Mike McCoy is likely to pick up some steam.
McCoy, who is arguably the hottest name on the market with regards to becoming some team's next head coach, has already interviewed with the Cardinals, Bears and Eagles, and is scheduled to meet with the Charges Monday.
According to FOX NFL insider Jay Glazer, the Cards want to chat with him again Tuesday.
Chargers interviewing Broncos' Mike McCoy today and Cards now want to bring McCoy back in for 2nd interview tomorrow
— Jay Glazer (@JayGlazer) January 14, 2013
Last week ESPN NFL insider John Clayton said McCoy was the "leader in the clubhouse" for the Arizona job, and the fact that they want him for a second interview would lend credibility to that claim.
However, with other teams at least interested in the coach — most of which have better quarterbacks than the Cardinals have to offer — their chances of landing him remain very much up in the air.

"I think America is currently in a Cold Civil War. The parties, of course, have switched sides since the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The party of the Union and Lincoln is now the Democratic party. The party of the Confederacy is now the GOP. And racial polarization is at record levels, with whites entirely responsible for reversing Obama's 2008 inroads into the old Confederacy in three Southern states. You only have to look at the electoral map in 1992 and 1996, when Clinton won, to see how the consolidation of a Confederacy-based GOP and a Union-based Democratic party has intensified - and now even more under a black president from, ahem, Illinois." Andrew Sullivan
The Republicans are self-exiling and becoming a strictly rural, regional party -- frightened away from urban centers and diverse suburbs. But worse, they're fearful of the "browning" of America, both in terms of a threat to white society but also in terms of what this will mean for politics, since Latinos and blacks are leaning heavily in the Democratic column. The conservative movement's refusal to soften or compromise -- driven by the Tea Party -- is slowly suffocating the Republican Party.

To my delight met Mary, also waiting - used to see her at the Support Group meetings, I used to go to. , so had time for a few words, before being whisked away to a small room to don Hospital Gown. Also to my delight Dr Sean Whittaker walked in, to examine me. Very pleased with skin, but noted small lumps on each leg, which he said were Low Grade Skin Cancers. Gave me the option of having them taken off while I was there. So I said yes. Had the Fasting Blood Tests, so I could eat my Sandwich(small brteakfast at 6am and Appointment at 3pm) then off to the Biopsy room, where they were cut and scraped ? Curettage, by a nice young Lady Doctor. under Local. Afterwards she used an electric apparatus to stop bleeding. No pain at all. She asked if I had had PUVA as that was probably the cause.Anyway, was home before 7pm. I will leave the pressure dressings on, until I go to the Hospice, tomorrow, when Liz, the nurse can change the dressings, now 2 on each leg.I have also had a smaller lump, on my forehead, which actually fell off, when washimg, and I apply Betnovate RD to that, and a couple of other small places. Will see Alison, the Macmillan Nurse, in a month, and Dr Whittaker, again, in three months. Any hints, on washing towels, as mine come out rather harsh.? Fairy Baby at 40' - Is it safe to use Comfort?Glad of any advice. You Ladies will be angry with me , as I have stopped doing Ironing. Best Wishes to All Jim

How to Succeed as a Cleantech Startup? Transcend the Category
Was Nest a cleantech startup? Was Waze?
To be blunt, who cares? From the standpoint of returns-maximizing VCs, it's a little bit irrelevant how you found the investment opportunity, if you were lucky enough to be a backer of Nest. The efficiency benefits? The superior design? The bigger home automation/security strategy beyond thermostats and smoke detectors? A strong-executing management team? Probably for most of the company's investors, it was some kind of a mix of all of the above, with varying degrees of emphasis.
Cleantech/greentech is not truly a category, although it is often treated as such out of necessity when tracking dollar amounts, describing investment strategies, getting written up by journalists, being used as the title of a blog, etc., etc. But I've yet to see any mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive taxonomy of the cleantech category that isn't a big mess and which settles more questions than it raises.
Cleantech investing and entrepreneurship is about finding great business opportunities by viewing the world through a natural-resource-scarcity lens. It's a lens that is educated by clear long-term macro-trends, but one that shouldn't be myopically applied to only a narrow set of industries. The opportunities one finds when viewing the investment universe through such a lens may fit strongly or weakly into existing cleantech categories. But from the returns potential standpoint, I don't think it matters much.
Many of the stronger-performing startups in this next wave of cleantech investing do in fact transcend the category. That's because they're built on technology platforms or utilize business models that are attractive to tech investors who might not care about cleantech, but who do like big markets. Or because the core technology, perhaps even invented by entrepreneurs who didn't really think about resource efficiency when doing so, nevertheless presents some resource efficiency benefits in its application. Bilal Zuberi of Lux Capital recently wrote a blog post in which he claimed that 3-D printing, cheaper space satellites, and drones offer resource efficiency benefits and thus should be considered to be types of cleantech. Some cleantech purists may roll their eyes at this contention; I do not. Even if these technologies aren't inherently resource-efficient, they certainly could be applied via downstream business-model innovation to achieve some significant resource efficiency gains. (I can't wait until my Amazon Prime membership includes a 3-D printer with spec-download service.)
My point is this: Investors arrive at good ideas from very different directions -- and that's OK! Increasingly, tech investors and cleantech investors are arriving at the same place, it would seem. Many of these tech investors are among those who are busy declaring to all LPs, "We don't do cleantech!" -- and yet they keep investing in companies which proponents of the cleantech sector would like to claim as one of their own. I recently had dinner with a senior partner at a mainstream VC firm that had just declared it was no longer going to be focusing on cleantech -- and yet he proceeded to excitedly tell me all about a recent energy efficiency deal the firm had done.
So, entrepreneurs, here are a few points to keep in mind.
1. If you're building a cleantech business, make sure to broaden your offering so customers get a lot more benefits than just resource-efficiency. I've spoken with several such smart entrepreneurs recently who are building smart energy-saving technologies, and yet who already know that they're going to need to offer additional customer benefits in order for people to want to give them a healthy chunk of what's in their wallet. Too many cleantech startups offer one thing, hang their hats on ROI, and fail to realize that ROI derived from a relatively small base may work out on paper, but rarely grabs customers' attention by itself. The line between cleantech markets and other tech markets are already blurred -- take advantage of that by actively transcending and combining into a truly winning solution.
2. If you're a cleantech entrepreneur, don't be afraid to pitch mainstream VCs who've signaled that they're not interested in cleantech. As long as your offering transcends the category per point No. 1 above. (Also, you might consider not calling yourself a "cleantech startup" in your initial pitch -- at least right now, when it's out of favor.)
3. If you don't consider yourself a cleantech entrepreneur, but your innovation offers significant resource-efficiency benefits, don't be afraid to hit up cleantech investors. To use an example from our own portfolio: Austin, Texas-based Noesis was founded by entrepreneur Scott Harmon, who was looking for smart ways to apply big data and web-based business models in fragmented markets in need of more efficiency (in the business sense). He hit upon the intersection of buildings and energy, after looking at several other non-cleantech markets. Noesis was then backed by Austin Ventures, which doesn't have a particular cleantech focus, but which recognized the business value of applying modern market-making solutions to a behind-the-times but huge market. Scott and the team at AV didn't get into this business because it was cleantech; to them, it's just a web-based startup aimed at a particularly attractive market opportunity. But we were glad when then they approached us as a potential investor, because we saw the fit and recognized that we could bring some additional market expertise to the table. And beyond pitching VCs, you will also find additional advantages from thinking about your resource-efficiency benefits when recruiting employees and when selling to customers.
As the line between "cleantech" and "tech" blurs, embrace that. These aren't separate categories. Describe what you do through the appropriate lens for the particular audience you're talking to. Use the different lenses to identify new sources of value and growth. Now is a particularly valuable time to transcend the category, instead of sticking yourself into one artificial silo or the other.

Here Comes The Greek Brady Plan Together With 35% Bond Haircuts...And A Caption Contest
Just in case you were expecting a full recovery on those Greek bonds stashed away under the mattress (ahem ASSGEN) here comes Euro Intelligence to spoil your day (and maybe, just maybe, wreak some havoc with your CDS). In a nuthsell: we are about to see a Brady plan with 35% haircuts. If true, we may be seeing some pretty interesting unintended consequences in the near to very near-term future.
From Euro Intelligence:
We think this story from To Vima
in Greece is true. It contains a lot detail about discussions currently
under way for a future Greek debt restructuring. The paper says that
the EU, IMF and the ECB have reached basic agreement that a debt
restructuring for Greece is inevitable, with the following concrete
options being discussed. 1. A haircut of 35%. Technically, this will be
an exchange of existing bonds with bonds of 65% of their value. 2. A
bond swap to 30-year bonds with low interest rates. 3. A new loan
package of 25% of the previous volume. The paper recalls the Brady plan,
under which the US organised a similar debt swap for Latin American
debt, with the help of a Fed guarantee. The paper also quotes Greek
sources as confirming that they no longer expect the rebound of growth
to happen immediately.
More importantly, here is today's caption contest. The winner gets to cross their ZR bid which at last check was locked limit up.
Have at it.

Angela Merkel looks like its been at least 3 weeks since she's had a satisfying dump.
You should see Leo.
"No way I take a bullet for any of these three. After what I just heard in there, I'm buying some gold, bitches," thinks Paulo the security attaché member on the right.
And we still are not done paying for the Brady plan ... haha
Sarkozy: "That person just dropped a $20..... garcon?"
Merkel: "Hmmm.... The Arby's sign over there says All U Can Eat."
Sarkozy: Why is your right boob 35% lower than your left?
Merkel: I don't know but I like that number, run with it.
winner right here folks!! Fuck that's funny, seriously that is some comedy gold!
For the record could she look any worse and why is there 3 pockets on her blazer?
The 4th pocket was picked by The Bernanke. She's telling Sarkozy "I really don't mind because now my right tit can go commando"
Good one! The other three pockets showing look like inside out, I think she has not one penny left to tell the story.
So then Sarkozy says "if I hold my fist about this level I can prop up your tit like we prop up the PIIGS"
...and then Papandreou says "No my friend, for this task you need TWO hands, at about THIS level!"
Merkel... The European Hillary...
Barroso: "Puta madre. Why the hell did I listen to that Berlusconi. And where the hell am I going to hide my gold."
Schumer on schumer hitting the fan and no Supreme Court:
thank you for that link. even when i pulled for the democrats, i always disliked him. now i know he's not even very smart. what a jackass.
sarkozy: "hey angela, have you seen my bob dole impression?"
merkel to herself: "oh shit. not again."
Merkel: 'lord o' mercy, I could really use a shoulder rub right about now...'
Whose going to tell Jamie and Lloyd?
I can't believe how hot she is.
Logjammers, Jackie...
"Lord. You can imagine where it goes from here."
"He fixes the cable?"
"Don't be fatuous, Jeffrey."
You could use more than 160 symbols, it's not a fucking Twitter, it's a Zerohedge.

That really sounds an awful lot like the conclusion that I came to as well as the 3 solutions that I proposed. An awful lot...
From A Comparison of Our Greek Bond Restructuring Analysis to that of Argentina).
From A Comparison of Our Greek Bond Restructuring Analysis to that of Argentina).
In your analysis the closest scenario of haircut is 38%, which assumes doubling of maturity with sustained coupon on the bonds, which 'is extend and pretend' for twice as longer, which in turn could mean there cold be another haircut down the road or a prolonged default.
This was just an illustration of the similarities I'm my proposed solutions and that of the one proposed in Tyler's post. The numbers above were for Portugal, not Greece.
Btw, even with the haircut in post, there could still be another haircut and/or default.
Lili Van Merkel singing:
Here I stand, the goddess of the euro
I set the isles on fire
I have this power
Morning, noon, and night, it's dwink and dancing
Some quick womancing
And then a shower.
Das Greeks constantly suwwound me
They always hound me, with one wequest.
Who can satisfy their lustful habits?
I'm not a wabbit.
I need some rest..
Lili. Lili, Lili, Lili, legs, Lili, Lili... I cannot finds the words to truly express my joy at the rekindling of our association.
If you can hide Merkel's underlying assets, she'd be a derivative bombshell.
Sacre Bleu!!!
ORI - you got a face lift! Congrats...;)
Thanks SE. :-)
"What the fuck are we gonna say now?"
I hope the major European banks have plenty of reserves.
Ah, who are we kidding, they all sold their bonds to the ECB. The only ones in private taking a haircut is pension funds.
Joran van der Sloot gets a EMU photo bomb!
Ugh! Angela's sauerkraut farts smell as bad as the Greek bonds.
"Where do you think Mubarak is hiding now ?"
"Do you think anyone will believe us this time?"
Didn't Leo suggest to buy long-term Greek bonds?
"You know what they say about Greeks."
Lose some weight Bitchez!
Why do you persist in asking her for a rim job?
I think I broke a rib reading that line.
All Crack-berry addicts know about RIMM jobs....
I guess i should have known merkel was just another pain slut. She is making a huge mistake. Dumbazz bitch. You were supposed to roll that shit up into 1000 year reichbonds.
greek guy " errm i left my wallet in my other coat , you'll have to pay angela "
other guy, " ill toss you for it "
ngelas driver " doh! "
sarkozy to translator: "merde! how do you say douche in german?!?"
Sarkozy to Merkel: You know this is the line for Berlusconi's latest party, right?
Then we all agree - on a long enough timeline the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.
carla bruni makes a last minute adjustment to her dress which takes onlookers by surprise...
Oh stop acting coy and superior, Angie, and spread the gravy around and thick!
We're so far beyond anything resembling haircuts, bankruptcies or fails of any kind that we're going to question your whole spirit of pro-growth, pro-democracy, pro-ariba_ness and start wondering if you're not part of the great communist conspiracy and a child abuser.
These times call for the toughness to indulge on a grand scale! These times call for leadership in spending and pretending! This ain't no party, this ain't no disco.
you mean they are going to stick it in 35% deeper?
Reuters quotes a board member of the Bank of Portugal as saying the Greek fiscal plan is not working. The conditions were imposed, unrealistic and cannot be sustained, according to Teodora Cardoso. The Markets are reacting to that, Cardoso said.
In other words the Pot goes nuclear on the Kettle... Someone not sticking to the script.
Or someone is trying to negotiate a better deal for his country.
Spot on!
There are times when self interest will trump a script...
"Does it look like we are praying? Yes, we are... for a miracle to save from the impending contagion"
And equities keep rallying.
Another time, ZH permabears. The collapse is not for today.
I want to hear from the real deal HarryWanger, not his brother Hamy who I suspect is my arch nemesis JW trolling you guys. Who is the real Hammy Wanger? Ilene...are you trolling?
lift and separate... The testicles before carrying out the haircut.
Nice one... Was that The Merk's advice or Rat-kozy...
Sarkozy again baffles his peers by continually playing with his "invisible magic wand" in public.
i zay ve vish in vun hand und poop in ze ozerr und ze vich vun feelz up queeker....
Sarkozy: "No. Jamie Dimon really said Option #2 is the best choice for Greece. You know, he's been under a whole lot of stress lately, with all the bad press".
Merkel: "Speaking of Number 2, is that a toilette over there? I'm feeling a bit gassy".
Hitler must be laughing his ass off now in hell.
Ain't that symbolic that copyright for Mein Kampf is about to expire and ban on its publication is about to be lifted, at the same time, popular anger at the bankers is nearing its historic highs, which is to be, as soon we will all see, funelled at some minority, probably not the Jews this time, but surely somebody: http://www.newser.com/story/34975/is-germany-ready-for-mein-kampf.html
They are always some unfortunate scapegoats to be slaughtered for the greater good, not that it would fix anything, but the mob would be satisfied for the time being, before itself being plundered en masse as heroic cannon fodder.
"They will never call me 'Nic the Greek' after this deal."
Around here we read the "Nic" that actually has something worthwhile to say
'Il est très important que l'on détient le blanc poker hot anal comme celui-ci avant de battage dans'
Sarkozy to Merkel " If you offer to give Obama a BJ ..."
Not sure but I would bet that Obama would rather have the BJ from Sarkozy, with a side of tossed salad and some crack to finish.
Sarkozy to Merkel : "Angela, you just HAVE to get yourself one of the Greek islands when the creep behind us is forced to post them as collateral for his 'bonds' ."
"you know, this plan only needs to hold water until our terms end, then we'll be authors."
... and so, by the power vested in me by the NWO banking cartel, I now pronounce you man and wife
flag as winner (1)
Get's my vote too.
Barrosa is trying to play a cute game. He is trying to hide how bad things are in his beloved Portugal. If he convinces everyone that the Greeks and Irish are insolvent he will get a pacage for everyone and save Portugal's blushes.
Greeks may retaliate and threaten to implode the entire global financial architecture with an olive oil embargo. That indeed would be a brilliant ploy that would panic the developed world which is hooked on Med style cooking. Ask yourself: could your heart stand the shocking fact of $1,000 pasta dinners?
Damn. I never thought about stocking up on olives? Are calamatas greek? They are my favorite.
Calamatas are indeed Greek, but I'm partial to Spanish ones.
Merkel: Oh shit, Sark! Cutty Sark! Is that goddamn Rumsfeld behind me? I remember the last time he was around when people were talking about money just up and vanishing; it was September 10th, 2001...
The Least Interesting Man in the World: Stop calling me Cutty Sark. Whether or not that is Donald Rumsfeld is immaterial to me at the moment. This guy behind me keeps trying to sell me Body Scanners. He says we could erect them at all the bunga bunga parties. Besides, Rumsfeld was talking about $2.3T, you don't think he'd be worried about our little side game do you?
S'ils ne veulent pas accepter l'offre, vous mettez votre poing dans le rectum comme ça!
"Angela, I had no idea the damn Greeks would blow it all partying with Charlie Sheen. We should repo Crete and deport every one of them to Rekyavik."
"I think maybe we should have sided with the Nazi's"
Sarkosy: I know it's been awhile, but this is going to feel like what it's like to get fucked...
Pretty sure a 35% haircut triggers global swaps. Oh, well.
I see Sarkozy is holding a fiat Euro note saying it's all he's got left (nothing). Merkel's mind goes blank but Barroso feels the reality sinking in.
Sarkozy prepares coin flip to decide who must break the news to Trichet...
it's like a moussaka without cheese topping. water instead of ouzo will be for springtime
Hamp like programs for countries now, when will all the lies and deception end? Doesn't anyone have the friggin balls to call a spade a spade or are we just going to live under this dark bridge with the trolls forever? How many ways can you kick that can bitch? WTF are my kids going to do in the future when nothing is real anymore? 2012 is starting to look more and more like a real event. Not saying the end of the world but perhaps a turning point for life as we know it.
Merkel: You can take your thumb out of my ass any time now Nicolas.
Sarkozy: That wasn't my thumb.
I don't give a shit about names.
Woman: I wonder if anyone else notices that my breasts would be under my armpits if not for this supportive brazier
Man immediately behind her: Yes, you have to cup them in, like this!
Man immediately to his right: Yes, you poke them up, like dis!
Man immediately to his right, but slightly behind: Must not look at camera, must not look at camera
Man behind them hanging head: I can't believe I hit her axe wound at the christmas party last year... I was just happy it was actually a she... I need to get checked out... I just hope no one else makes the mistake of putting their fingers in there... *sigh*
Old bald man to his right: I thought we were having pudding and matlock? I go make poopie.
"Frau Merkel, can I borrow the keys to your Mercedes. I need to get out of here fast. My choice of Fiat was a mistake."
sarkozy to merkel: fuck jamie dimon
"Suck it up, Angie, or the Greeks go CAIRO on us and tear you a new Berlin Wall."
"Angela, even German hos get paid for just laying there, no?"
"Do you want to turn the Greek internet back on now, or shall I?"
I expect more haircuts until we're all bald.
French dude: "Can I wear the strap on this time?"
German dude: "!"
Background Dudes think: "Oh Fuck, He didn't just say that". "Where is the exit?"
"She has balls, like grapefruit"
"Yes, but a very small pecker"
But, But, EVERYONE needs to retire at 67!!!
Take that to the streets of Paris and sell it Angie!!
Thought ya had this one Tyler or the topic wouldn't have been Sinn Féin and their IMF platform.
Well let me tell you my kraut friend, I ain't no bandleader...
Sarkozy :
" whose job was it to move the fucking gold? George you fuck , wheres the fucking gold?"
Greece and Ireland taking the long way to get to the same place where Iceland is now.
Ditto for the US and the rest of the EU
HMMMM...Greek Brady bonds, eh?
Good idea....after the global crash
those low long term yields will
seem like a good deal and the banks
will sell them to their retail clients.
Multiply by Portugal, Ireland, Spain
etc etc.
We're going to kick the can down the
road to stardate 3123. Captain Kirk
of the USS starship enterprise will end up holding those bonds.
Thanks for the super big laugh!
Yeah, the interest on 21st century bonds is what financed young Captain James Tiberius Kirk attending Starfleet Academy.
Ferengi School of Business case study!
From the Emerald Isle...
"Some 75 would-be volunteers turned up this afternoon to a meeting organised by economist David McWilliams to help independents standing in the election. McWilliams has proposed that those with organisation skills and economic expertise should offer their services to independent candidates to counter the advice that candidates from the major parties would be able to give. The meeting was held in the Gateway Building in Capel Street which is owned by John McColgan the producer of Riverdance and was offered to Democracy Now, a group of high-profile would-be candidates who now admit that they have run out of time to stand in the election. Seven independent candidates were among those looking for advice. They included Eamonn Blaney, the son of former Government minister Neil Blaney, who said he is to announce a new political platform New Era which has the support of several independent candidates." http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2011/0131/breaking61.html

"Do you think Hosni would lend us some of his gold?"
Ugh, Gibss is on the TV again. I can't wait for him to leave.
Maybe he could be the next studdering John for Howard Stern.
The group sit in a large dark room around a round table.
"What we gonna do now?" Says Berlusconi.
"I called Bernanke and Timmah." Said Trichet.
"What did they say?" Asked Sarkozy. "They didn't pick up." "Did you leave a message?" "The answering machine was full."
There was as slight pause. Angela sighed a deep sigh.
"Well", said Van Rumpuy, "I guess it is time for WWIII." The oilgarchs nodded and sneered slippery smiles. They stood up and walked uniformly into the banquet hall, where the press had gathered.
Cue "Magic Carpet Ride".
Out walk the financiers and politicians/slow mow. They sit down at a rectangular table to meet the press. "We have it all under control." Remarks Trichet as he takes off his glasses.....
Somewhere, still in Davos, Bernanke sipped his Malibu and rum quietly.
Brother, can you spare 50 billion euros...
OK - I accept that the Greeks had / have a large fiscal debt - but I could never understand how bank bonds are not first in line even if it is a smaller problem then in Iberia and Ireland.
There is a different agenda in Europe - it is to neuter the sovergins ability to raise cash - the primacy that the ECB holds for banks in their dealings with this crisis is a vessel used to make the European states a anachronism.
If Greek goverment paper takes a hit before the bank paper it will prove my point.
That would explain Rompuy's Cheshire Cat grin.
And all the euro-centric love noises emanating from the aforementioned Eurointelligence...
merkel "If this french bastard does another Jerry Lewis impression, I wll kill the EURO"
Ha! Great.
For those who don't know, Jerry Lewis is REALLY big in French culture ... accepted as a great *serious* Genius of Film. Seriously.
G pap, "I am ambidextrous!"
Sarkozy: ...and when this crashes the markets, buy the fucking dip!
Should we BTFD now?
Angela fantasized about pulling the car over. The kids in the back seat were starting to seriously get on her nerves.
Berlasconi, tell me about those Italian widows and orphans who held those Argentine bonds? Were they at all surly?
"I'm sure that I am the father...."
"How did you know that I was pregnant?"
"Because we've all been screwing you for months, but I'm sure that I am the father...."
No No said the Red Queen, (who looked suspiciously like the Bernank) First we twist the knife, then we stick it in slowly.
G-Pap wants to know if you can get him an invitation to Silvio Berlusconi's party tonight.
Sarkozy: But, but, the joo bankers said this couldn't happen...
Merkel: Effing joos!
Could you kick the can for me this time,I think my groin is pulled?
Greek Guy: These hands have been some places. I don't recommend it.
Sark: First you poke the food down the goose's throat...
Merkel: (Thinking) This mess calls for deft German diplomacy. We should invade Poland.
He's saying not only is his government broke but his banks will be too if you haircut the bonds. Who do you think he sold them to.
When I was a little girl we put people like him in the gas chamber.
from the looks on their faces, it would appear that someone in that clique just busted some ass.
sauerkraut, bratwurst, and a tall Pilsner will do that to you, you know.

With February 14th fast approaching, many people are thinking of hearts. The pink kind. The red kind. The lacey kind. Some are made of construction paper, and others are made of hefty cardstock. Some are funny, some are romantic, and some have a variety of sweet nothings written on them.
But after Valentine's Day is over— after the gifts are exchanged, the dinners and desserts eaten, the hugs and kisses shared—how many people give those hearts a second thought?
Well, here's a reason to keep thinking of hearts through February 16th.
Noah is a very special 3-year-old, and he has a heart that needs mended. He was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS), the left ventricle of his heart never developed. His fourth open heart surgery (Fontan procedure) was last Tuesday, which hopefully should be the last one he needs.
(Here's a video about him and his surgery: do not watch anywhere you would be embarrassed to cry.)
These surgeries rerouted his blood flow entirely, the right atrium now pulls blood from his lungs, his right ventricle pumps blood out to his body, and his left atrium pulls deoxygenated blood from his body. Residual pressure is all that pushes blood to his lungs, normally the job of the right ventricle. In the week that followed his operation, his lungs partially collapsed (which isn't unusual with this surgery) and his left lung is having problems with fluid buildup.
He needs help.
In addition to the massive expenses of the operation, a one to six week-long hospital stay, and months of recovery at home, his mother, Judy Huebner, who is his sole financial support, won't be able to work for some time in order to care for him.
A benefit concert to help pay Noah's medical bills is being held this Sunday, February 16, at Stevie Ray's Blues Bar—featuring such groups as The Predators, Toad Strangler, Boscoe France, Soul Circus and Big Black Cadillac. Doors open at 4 pm, music starts at 5. $10 donation is asked for entry, and there will be a silent auction, as well as Mend Noah's Heart t-shirts for sale.
Please come, support, and help Mend Noah's Heart.

Vote Like Your Money Depends on It
If McCain Wins, So Could These Funds, Sen. John McCain was locking up the Republican Party nomination. Since then, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has lost 22% of its value while the Nasdaq 100 has tumbled 24.5%. Two of my three McCain fund picks did worse than the market, with Fidelity Select Defense and Aerospace (FSDAX) off 31%, and PowerShares Aerospace & Defense (PPA) down 30.59%. A surprise victory by McCain could put stock holdings of Honeywell (HON - Get Report), minus 46.6%; Lockheed Martin (LMT), down 18.7%; Boeing (BA - Get Report), a decline of 33.2%; and General Dynamics (GD - Get Report), a drop of 26.7%, back in favor.The one McCain pick to outperform the market, falling just 1.81% since early February, was the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF (XBI). Back on Feb. 8, McCain had yet to select a running mate. Former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge recently explained that McCain could be winning Pennsylvania if McCain had selected him. Instead, McCain, needing to energize the Republican base, selected Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. While this has excited right-wing social-values voters, a Vice President Palin might do the "mavericky" thing and work to defeat the support of cutting edge, scientific companies. So, in a McCain victory, SPDR S&P Biotech is now off the list, but the defense funds remain. Also since February, when I selected Funds That Could Profit From Clinton, Obama in Office, the bullish picks for Sen. Barack Obama of PowerShares Wilderhill Clean Energy Portfolio (PBW) fizzled 54.5% and PowerShares Dynamic Building & Construction (PKB) crumbled 36.7%. Likewise, my bearish picks of iShares Dow Jones U.S. Insurance Index Fund (IAK) crashed 47.4% and SPDR Pharmaceuticals ETF (XPH) shrank 14.5%. While the bullish picks have been trashed so far, they are well-positioned to catch a rebound in the first half of 2009 if Obama gets sworn in on Jan. 20.Nine months ago, when I wrote
