Leverage Your Telecom Needs to Support Carbonfund.org and Fight Climate Change
Every business has telecom needs – have you re-evaluated yours or do you plan to do so in the New Year? Here's a simple way to investigate telecom solutions while supporting Carbonfund.org and helping to fight the impacts of climate change.
Carbonfund.org business partner Nice Touch Communications (NTC), based in New York City, was an early leader in charitable giving programs with its Telecom for Charity initiative. NTC is a sales and consulting firm that has been providing voice and data solutions for over 15 years, and they launched Telecom for Charity in 2008. NTC works with businesses, non-profits, charities and other organizations to provide top tier telecom services while also donating 5% of each customer's monthly telecom bill to their selected charity through the Telecom for Charity program. Nice Touch Communications strives to find the best fit - to improve and optimize service, and to save money for its customers - otherwise, it's just not a fit!
Telecom for Charity (T4C) provides its business customers with the opportunity to support Carbonfund.org right from their monthly telecom bill. As a result, NTC clients and their employees are contributing back to society simply by going about their daily business of making phone calls and using the Internet. Every time a phone call is made, or a webpage is visited, Telecom for Charity customers are adding to their monthly support donations to Carbonfund.org. But the donations do not increase monthly costs. The donations come directly from Telecom for Charity and NTC, made on behalf of each business customer.
To date, Telecom for Charity's donations have neutralized almost 800,000 pounds of greenhouse gases, equivalent to the carbon emissions created by driving a typical passenger car over 850,000 miles.
"We wholeheartedly believe in what Carbonfund.org is doing; and feel our program can be a great way to generate support with minimal effort for a long time to come," says Jay Frank, Program Director for Telecom for Charity.
For prospective customers and any Carbonfree® Business Partner interested in telecom services, Telecom for Charity will make a donation to mitigate 2.5 metric tonnes of carbon emissions to Carbonfund.org, supporting carbon reduction and clean air project innovation, with no obligation to the prospective customer, just for talking to T4C about their telecommunications environment and telecom needs.
Carbonfree® Partner Skyline Eco-Adventures Voted Tops in Hawaii
Long-term Carbonfree® Business Partner Skyline Eco-Adventures, the original zipline tour company – 1st of its kind in the USA – received the top votes as Hawaii's #1 land activity/adventure tour company by Hawaii Magazine's "Best of the Best Readers Choice Awards" for the second year in a row. Skyline Eco-Adventures was founded in 2002 on Maui, Hawaii, by father and son, Buck and Danny Boren. Skyline's first location, the Haleakala Skyline Tour, is located on Historic Haleakala Ranch in beautiful upcountry Maui.
From the very beginning, it has been Skyline Eco-Adventures' mission to thrill guests with a unique outdoor adventure, while providing significant funds and resources to protect the fragile and irreplaceable natural and cultural environment of Hawaii. Since 2010, Skyline Eco-Adventures has been a Carbonfree® Business Partner, using our online calculator to compute estimated annual tour operational emissions, then neutralizing those emissions by supporting reforestation and forest conservation projects around the world. Through 2015, Skyline Eco-Adventures has mitigated the impact of almost 3.7 million pounds of greenhouse gases, equivalent to the impact of planting almost 42,800 tree seedlings and growing the trees for ten years.
Skyline Eco-Adventures offers four different zipline tours on three of Hawaii's islands, Maui, Kauai and the Big Island. At each Skyline Eco-Adventures location, guests are treated to great experiences with one of Hawaii's best guide team. Named one of Hawaii's Best Places to Work for five years running, the Skyline's staff help make each experience unforgettable.
In addition to maintaining carbon neutral tour operations, Skyline Eco-Adventures' staff involved in a variety of other community and conservation projects, including its Zip 4 the Trees event and 1% For the Planet donation program. Carbonfund.org is happy to continue to partner with Skyline Eco-Adventures in their tour emissions offset program and congratulates the tour company's many recognitions for giving back to community and preserving our natural environment.

UUA GA Building a Better Way to Equality and Sustainability
The Unitarian Universalist Association's annual General Assembly meeting strives to address, confirm and take action on the social, economic and environmental issues that matter most to its engaged membership. June's GA meeting in Portland, Oregon certainly accomplished this – on the second day of GA, the US Supreme Court's decision legalizing same-sex marriage was announced, and the GA schedule for the day turned to celebration of this ground-breaking event.
The Portland GA also affirmed the membership's support of the "Black Lives Matter" movement, following the massacre at the bible study group at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina. General Assembly members passed an Action of Immediate Witness (AIW) on the final afternoon of GA, urging congregants to "join the fight for racial justice against the harsh racist practices to which many black people are exposed."
This year's GA also reached a milestone in the event's environmental commitments by achieving 100% carbon offsetting of the carbon emissions produced by the five-day event. Each year since 2006, GA attendees have been given the option to make a donation to offset their per-person portion of the event's overall carbon emissions associated with attendee travel, venue and hotel room energy consumption, local transportation, meals, waste management and shipping.
In recent years, GA attendee donations offset about half of the event's total overall carbon emissions, but this year, UUA decided to make a commitment to offset the entire event's carbon emissions. Working with long-time partners sustainable events planner MeetGreen and Carbonfund.org Foundation, UUA's team calculated the GA event's total greenhouse gases then budgeted the donation required to offset the entire 2925.4 metric tonnes – about 6.5 million pounds – of carbon emissions. Carbonfund.org used UUA's carbon offset donation to purchase and permanently retire the total corresponding carbon credits in the US-based Truck Stop Electrification project in order to fully offset UUA GA event emissions. This innovative project provides long-haul truckers with an electricity-powered device to run their cab's heating, cooling and electronics, thus allowing the driver to turn off the engine and avoid idling on diesel fuel during rest and sleep hours, saving millions of pounds of carbon dioxide emissions, improving resting conditions for drivers and air quality while lowering noise levels at truck stops with these installations.
The UUA continues to lead in bulding a better way for its members and their communities, and achieving this important goal of 100% carbon offsets for its General Assembly event marks another milestone in the UUA's commitments to sustainability. Carbonfund.org is honored to partner with UUA and MeetGreen in this important initiative.
Benco Dental Committed to Building a Brighter, Greener Future
For the past six years, Benco Dental, the largest privately-owned dental distribution company in the United States, has augmented its commitment to "Lean and Green" operations by neutralizing carbon emissions associated with its National Sales Meeting. Through this program, Benco Dental has mitigated the negative impact of almost 6 billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions, equivalent to neutralizing emissions from driving a standard passenger car 6.4 billion miles, by supporting Carbonfund.org's clean air and carbon emissions reduction projects.
A focus on the environment can be felt throughout Benco, starting with their CenterPoint headquarters in Pittston, PA, designed to meet and exceed USGBC guidelines and attain LEED certification. The company's "Go Green" program identifies its products that meet 10 criteria universally recognized as reducing a product's environmental impact and designates the eco-friendly products with a green leaf.
The Benco Dental "Lean and Green" team is made up of associates who volunteer their time to organize and conduct community tree plantings and cleanups throughout the year, and help to identify ways Benco can be environmentally friendly. Associates also participate in an extensive recycling program that includes paper, cardboard, glass, plastic, aluminum, batteries, CDs, DVDs and toner cartridges.
Building a brighter greener future is part of Benco Dental Company's mission, and Carbonfund.org is proud to partner with Benco in achieving its goals.
Carbonfree® Partner EmerginC Helps Customers Protect Skin -- and Bees and the Environment
emerginC is a simple story of emerging, which began in 1996 with one of the most stable and effective vitamin C serums to emerge on the market. The buzz about the product began to spread and emerginC started to grow by word of mouth. More products emerged -- two, then four, then eight -- and now emerginC has approximately 80 products and a wide variety of cost-effective treatment options from both the emerginC signature and scientific organics product lines. All the while, emerginC never compromised a commitment to quality and effectiveness - and to environmental sustainability - and the company continues to emerge.
For the past six years, emerginC has been a Carbonfree® Business Partner, neutralizing almost 460,000 pounds of greenhouse gases through supporting Carbonfund.org's clean air and carbon emissions reduction projects around the world. This reduction in carbon emissions has the impact as planting 5350 trees and letting them grow and absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for ten years.
"We take many steps to minimize our impact on the environment. Our corporate office runs on wind power, our product boxes and brochures are made from paper from well-managed forests, printed with vegetable inks, and we ship our orders with biodegradable packing 'peanuts'," explains Ian Lirenman, CEO and Founder of emerginC. "We chose Carbonfund.org because of their efficiency, the on-the-ground solutions they deliver and the fact that they don't engage in carbon offset trading."
The folks at emerginC have taken a leading role in giving back and in sustainability with the "buy one, plant one" tree planting program, and the company also includes packets of emerginCeeds with every US domestic order to help customers start their own vegetable garden with USDA organic mixed lettuce or arugula seeds.
The company started an emerginBees bee habitat initiative to help combat Colony Collapse Disorder among US bee colonies. Many medicines, both conventional and alternative remedies, come from flowering plants. Without the bees to spread the seeds, many plants - including food crops - will die off. The emerginBees seedbombs are a combination of compost and clay that acts as a carrier for the seeds. They can be launched over walls or fences and into inaccessible areas such as wasteland or along railways. emerginC makes every effort to source products and ingredients ethically and sustainably wherever possible, including the use of fair trade ingredients.
As a way to help drastically reduce the number of plastic bottles used around the world, emerginC is moving away from plastic product packaging and using glass bottles as an alternative. The company is now headquartered in its own building near the waterfront in Brooklyn, NY, with weekly yoga classes, rooftop vegetables, flowers, and chickens that give the staff organic eggs all year round.
Carbonfree® Partner Earth Science Naturals Strives to Do Good in the World
Celebrating over thirty years, Earth Science Naturals creates products with the goodness of natural ingredients enhanced with plant-based nutrients, vital vitamins, soothing botanicals, hydrating moisturizers and pure essential oils. Committed to providing environmentally safe skin, body, and hair care without parabens, animal testing, animal-derived ingredients or artificial colors, Earth Science Naturals cares about its customers, and about the environment we share.
Earth Science also cares about the impact its business has on our environment. Even with the care taken to choose the most environmentally-safe products and practices, Earth Science knows its own office energy use, product transportation and business travel creates greenhouse gas emissions. To neutralize this impact, Earth Science partners with Carbonfund.org to support carbon emissions reduction and clean air projects. Since joining the Carbonfree® Business Partnership program seven years ago, Earth Science has neutralized over 600,000 pounds of greenhouse gases, the equivalent to planting almost 7000 trees and growing them for ten years.
"At our core, we believe that having a "healthy" business means striving to do good in the world," explains Kenneth Grand, Owner and President. "A proud sponsor of Carbonfund.org, Earth Science Naturals is dedicated to supporting the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the fight against climate change by supporting climate-friendly projects."
Earth Science will be launching a new hair care line this fall with all locally sourced packaging and bottles at 80% post-consumer content. They've repackaged their Active Age Defense line in more sustainable packaging, use recyclable components manufactured locally, choosing American-made, recycled, and sustainable resources whenever possible. All cartons hold the FSC seal, certified to ensure responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social and economic benefits.
Earth Science is dedicated to support the fight against climate change by encouraging and supporting climate-friendly projects, locally and nationally. By specifically seeking out local vendors and local manufacturing facilities, Earth Science reduces transportation and its related pollution. All Earth Science products are produced in California, near the corporate offices in Santa Barbara, and many products have been formulated using organic and fair trade extracts and oils.
As a family-run business, Earth Science Naturals values giving back to and staying connected with its national and local communities. Earth Science Naturals has been a strong supporter of not only global environmental concerns, but also local organizations that work toward building healthy, sustainable communities, through planting trees, funding educational programs, pet adoptions or providing meals.
Greenwave Foods Celebrates Fifth Year as Carbonfree® Business Partner
The team at Greenwave Foods, which makes "cruncha ma-me" edamame snacks, is driven by a zealous belief in their core values, which focus on ethical business practices, environmental sustainability, and holistic plant-based nutrition. Their core mission is to provide unique snacks that are truly healthy, not just "healthier" versions of junk food.
Freeze-drying and shipping their cruncha ma-me snacks uses energy, so Greenwave Foods reduces its carbon footprint by partnering with Carbonfund.org to purchase carbon credits that fund reforestation, renewable energy, and energy efficiency projects around the world.
From inception five years ago, Greenwave Foods has maintained a commitment to neutralizing its estimated annual operating emissions by supporting Carbonfund.org's third-party validated and verified carbon offset projects. As a Carbonfree® Business Partner since 2011, Greenwave Foods has mitigated over 360,000 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions, equivalent to the greenhouse gases emitted by driving a passenger car almost 400,000 miles.
We're all busy - We are always on the run, so it is often hard to eat fresh vegetables. With cruncha ma-me snacks, we can reach for an all-natural wholesome veggie snack that is nutritious, tastes great and can be eaten anytime, anywhere. Cruncha ma-me edamame snacks provide good sources of protein and fiber and are a tasty alternative to highly-salted chips or sugary candy bars and other unhealthy snacks.
When you reach for cruncha ma-me snacks, you're supporting a company that supports environmental preservation, too. Carbonfund.org thanks Greenwave Foods for five years of partnership in helping to reduce the negative impact of greenhouse gases on our environment.

Teddy (the the Worship Arts Pastor at Hope Baptist) ministered to us in song and sent the following email to us:
Psalm 8Today, I had the awesome privilege of visiting the Creation Museum and the future site of the Ark Encounter in Petersburg, Kentucky. This is by far the most extraordinary evangelistic operation I've ever witnessed. After Vance and I led the staff in a time of devotion, the President of the company, Mr. Ken Ham gave us a "behind the scenes" tour of the facility, which included a planetarium.
O LORD, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth…
When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained; What is man that You take thought of him, And the son of man that You care for him?
Wow! To see, hear, and experience the handiwork of God…He numbered the stars and calls them by name. Yet and still, He invites me into a relationship with Himself. How humbling is that? Thank you Jesus!
How big and awesome He is. How complex and simple He is. How singular and plural He is—"one God in three persons." That's why I say, "God are good!" It may be bad grammar, but it's good theology.
He sent us the following after his visit:
What an unbelievable day we had today with Ken Ham and the staff at Answers in Genesis! There unique approach to penetrate lostness by focusing on the absolute truth of God's Word is refreshing and inspiring. Their commitment to excellence and integrity in their standards and services in an attempt to communicate a Biblical worldview is second to none. My expectations were completely blown away! May the Lord bless this ministry immensely and use it for His glory!After the devotion time with the staff, I gave Pastor Vance andTeddy a tour of the Creation Museum and office. Here is a photo of the three of us taken as we began our tour.
You can hear the entire devotion time, including our birthday fun at the following link. You will hear the music of Teddy Johnson and the powerful message brought by Pastor Vance Pitman. Listen here.
Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
Answers in Genesis is an apologetics ministry, dedicated to helping Christians defend their faith and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Progress in technology has brought microelectronics to the nanoscale, but nanoelectronics is not yet a well-defined engineering discipline with a coherent, experimentally verified, theoretical framework. The NCN has a vision for a new, 'bottom-up' approach to electronics, which involves: understanding electronic conduction at the atomistic level; formulating new simulation techniques; developing a new generation of software tools; and bringing this new understanding and perspective into the classroom. We address problems in atomistic phenomena, quantum transport, percolative transport in inhomogeneous media, reliability, and the connection of nanoelectronics to new problems such as biology, medicine, and energy. We work closely with experimentalists to understand nanoscale phenomena and to explore new device concepts. In the course of this work, we produce open source software tools and educational resources that we share with the community through the nanoHUB.
This page is a starting point for nanoHUB users interested in nanoelectronics. It lists key resources developed by the NCN Nanoelectronics team. The nanoHUB contains many more resources for nanoelectronics, and they can be located with the nanoHUB search function. To find all nanoelectronics resources, search for 'nanoelectronics.' To find those contributed by the NCN nanoelectronics team, search for 'NCNnanoelectronics.'

When should I call the doctor about insomnia?
In general, acute insomnia related to transient situational factors resolves spontaneously when the provoking factor is removed or corrected. However, medical evaluation by a doctor may be necessary if the insomnia persists or it is thought to be related to a medical or a psychiatric condition. Many people choose not to discuss insomnia symptoms with their doctor; however, individuals should contact their doctor if insomnia is interfering with daytime activities.
There are also specialized doctors who evaluate and treat insomnia and other sleep disorders. Sleep apnea may be evaluated by board-certified sleep physicians from varying backgrounds who have specialized in sleep disorders. Other doctors who evaluate and treat sleep disorders are neurologists with a specialty in sleep disorders.
How is insomnia diagnosed?
Evaluation and diagnosis of insomnia may start with a thorough medical and psychiatric patient history taken by the physician. As mentioned above, many medical and psychiatric conditions can be responsible for insomnia.
A general physical examination to assess for any abnormal findings is also important, including assessment of mental status and neurological function; heart, lung and abdominal exam; ear, nose and throat exam; and measurement of the neck circumference and waist size. Assessment of routine medications and use of any illegal drugs, alcohol, tobacco, or caffeine is also an important part of the medical history. Any laboratory or blood work pertinent to these conditions can also be a part of the assessment.
The patient's family members and bed partners also need to be interviewed to ask about the patient's sleep patterns, snoring, or movements during sleep.
Specific questions regarding sleep habits and patterns are also a vital part of the assessment. A sleep history focuses on:
Sleep logs or diaries may be used for this purpose to record these parameters on a daily basis for more accurate assessment of sleep patterns.
Sleep history also typically includes questions about possible symptoms associated with insomnia. The physician may ask about daytime functioning, fatigue, concentration and attention problems, naps, and other common symptoms of insomnia.
Other diagnostic tests may be done as part of the evaluation for insomnia, although they may not be necessary in all patients with insomnia.
Polysomnography is a test that is done in sleep centers if conditions such as sleep apnea are suspected. In this test, the person will be required to spend a full night at the sleep center while being monitored for heart rate, brain waves, respirations, movements, oxygen levels, and other parameters while they are sleeping. The data is then analyzed by a specially trained physician to diagnose or rule out sleep apnea or other disorders of sleep.
Actigraphy is another more objective test that may be performed in certain situations but is not routinely a part of the evaluation for insomnia. An actigraph is a motion detector that senses the person's movements during sleep and wakefulness. It is worn similar to a wrist watch for days to weeks, and the movement data are recorded and analyzed to determine sleep patterns and movements. This test may be useful in cases of primary insomnia disorder, circadian rhythm disorder, or sleep state misconception. Many commercially available devices are popular today for patients to use on their own and track their sleep patterns. The majority of these devices have not been ebaluated against the gold standard devices and methods. Their role in identifying true insomnia has yet to be established in the scientific literature.

Hailing from the death metal scene here in Kansas City is a sound of vile, putridity and excellent guitar riffs. Torn the Fuck Apart are part guttural slam and part technical death metal, sort of like a raunchy combination of Cannibal Corpse and Dying Fetus in a way. The result is a tasty morsel of gore filled disgusting death metal.

Awesome multi-angle shot of Trey Williams' (Dying Fetus) performance of "Homicidal Retribution"!
Grindstopher Productions filmed this epic blast fest from Dying Fetus' Trey Williams for Sick Drummer. The result is a great sounding, visual masterpiece. Check it out.
Dying Fetus' Video For "Second Skin" Now Available On YouTube.

Best albums of 2012!!!!! This year was a great year for metal. Tons of bands from many different genres put out incredible music this year. I was surprised by the swarm of submissions I got this year and many of the lesser known bands scored really high. There is a mix of well known bands and "who the hell is that?", be sure to check these albums out if you haven't yet.
Well here you go, the top 10 albums of 2012!
RISE AND GRIND: Dying Fetus, Devourment, Anal Cunt, The Locust, Malodorous, Vulvectomy, Necrocest & Anarkhon Terror
The weekend ain't long enough and life just isn't fair sometimes. Filth. Disgust. Corruption. Lost Faith. The American dream. A failed promise. Raped Innocence. Rise and Grind.
Today's theme is more brutal slam than grind.
Gore. Can't wait for the new Cattle video.
RISE AND GRIND – The Slept In Edition With NASUM, SUNTORN, MURDER CONSTRUCT & DYING FETUS
Well it finally happened, a Monday morning where I forgot to start my ritual and went straight to work. So today is dedicated to the fuckers who don't need to be up early. Wake up at noon and turn up the volume knob and jam out to some Nasum, Suntorn, Murder Construct and some good ol Dying Fetus!!!! Enjoy and welcome to your work week. Fuckin rinse/repeat bullshit.
RISE AND GRIND: Headbang or GTFO Celebrates One Year!!!! Music From CONVERGE, INSECT WARFARE, TRASH TALK, GALLOWS, MURDER CONSTRUCT AND DYING FETUS
It's definitely a special RISE AND GRIND this morning considering HEADBANG OR GTFO HAS SURVIVED ONE FULL YEAR!!!! How did I celebrate? I drank one beer and played video games. Fuck yes! Rock the fuck out this morning and listen to Converge, Insect Warfare, Trash Talk, Gallows, Murder Construct and Dying Fetus. Wake the fuck up and RAGE!!!! Kick today's ass and never look back. A major thanks to anyone who spent more than 10 seconds on here and actually read some of the things I posted. Thank you to the Facebook fans! Thank you American Aftermath, Heavy Blog Is Heavy, Metal Review, Metal Titans, MetalSucks and Metal Injection. Thank you to all of the PR people I've worked with and the tour managers that were cool. A HUGE thank you to the labels and bands that sent me music and worked with me. You're all kick ass in my book. Headbang. \w/

Your Morning Stream: GOJIRA, DYING FETUS, RUMPELSTILTSKIN GRINDER & LINKIN PARK
Nothing better than rolling out of bed and letting that morning stream go! So here are some album streams that have been released recently. First off we have the new Gojira streaming at The Music, an Australian music site I've never heard of. Hey, congrats on getting that exclusive stream though! Enjoy the traffic boost!
Then the almighty MetalSucks has two streams for you and I hope you like headbanging because they have the new Dying Fetus and Rumpelstiltskin Grinder albums!!!

Hope you enjoy this edition of The Morning Stream. Ahhhh. Now it's time for coffee.
Album Review: DYING FETUS – REIGN SUPREME
As soon as you press play, your ears are graced with sweep picking and high intensity drumming. Yup, it's a Dying Fetus album. They clearly let you know what you are in for within the first ten seconds of the album. The trio is back with another monster album also known as "Reign Supreme". The technical death metal band pushes their limits once again, releasing another high quality album that keeps slam interesting and still gets respect and credit for being one of the best bands in the metal community. Trey Williams hyper speeds with his feet and hands are the star of the show really, while Sean Beasley and John Gallagher still push the limits with their frantic fretwork, I found myself mimicking Trey's patterns and blasts more than anything. The entire album is crushingly heavily and with breakneck speeds and whiplash tempo changes…you're in for a wild metal ride while listening to Reign Supreme.

Route Change For Highway 411?
People in northwest Georgia have been waiting on an extension to Highway 411 for three decades. It would relieve congestion and create better access to Interstate 75. The state is ready to move forward. But landowners defending their property are willing to sue to block it, so extending Highway 411 could require a new route.

DJ Quik has joined the list of Mariah Carey's collaborators for her next effort.
On Monday, the West Coast MC/ beat miner said he had already completed a track where he took the diva "to the club."
"[I took her] to the low riders," Quik said of the still-untitled track's beat. "It's 808-thick."
Quik's going back in the lab with Mariah soon to record a ballad, he said.
"Mariah is serious," he observed. "It's funny, I didn't get a chance to do her vocals, but I like how she takes the recording process seriously. She's not in there lollygagging, wasting time. She's in there writing harmonies with her girls. It was real cool.
"It don't hurt that she's real fine," he added. "She's real easy on the eyes."
Last week, Murder Inc. producer 7 Aurelius (Ja Rule, Jennifer Lopez, Ashanti) said that he, too, had been in the studio working with the multiplatinum pop queen (see "Mariah Carey Records In Bahamas With Live Band, Strips Down With 7" ).
Carey is indeed working on a new LP, Mariah's spokesperson said, but she's still talking to labels and has neither a home for the record nor a release date. Quik said that when the album does come out, Carey should be able to bounce back from the jeers she received over her last project, the soundtrack to "Glitter."
"I think 'Glitter' was a hoax," Quik said. "In my opinion, I think she got caught in something that just didn't work. I think it was partially timing, too, and the fact [there weren't any] really strong singles.
"I think she can come back," he continued. "Her fans should allow her one wack album. They allowed me one."

I have a graph that is represented by three different sized circles, based on the presence of a given element in the result set. The first circle is always set to 100%, being this is the largest the circle can be, the other two are relative % to the largest one.
The problem is that I am trying to use css to render them and I do not know the math necessary to figure out how to make them all "stick" together along their sides.
The known pieces will be the radius of each circle, and the largest one is always returned first.
Here is an example of what I'm trying to accomplish:
How can I accomplish this mathematically such that i can supply each circle with a margin-top and margin-left that will position them in this way?
I can position the largest circle at 0,0, and the second largest at half the difference between the 2 diameters, making the center points line up. The real challenge is the third smallest circle, in knowing where to position it based on the other two circles' positions.

Ultimate Preview: Kansas
Preview: Offense | Defense Ask The Expert Matchups Game Predictions
Kansas gave up over 600 yards on the ground in its last game, but that little statistical nugget isn't going to change the way Texas Tech approaches the upcoming clash with the Jayhawks.
"We'll throw first, run second," coach Tommy Tuberville said of his Red Raiders, who are among the nation's leaders in passing yards per game. "But we are going to take what they give us."
But that in no way compares to the pressure Georgia Tech, which spanked the Jayhawks 62-24, puts on opposing defenses with its run-based triple-option attack, something the Jayhawks apparently never solved.
"Depending on what they do, depending on how many people they put on the line of scrimmage whether we run or throw," Tuberville said. "We are not saying every game we are going to throw it no matter what you do. You just don't do that."
The game at Lawrence will be the Big 12 opener for both teams. Tech is back home for the next two games against conference foes Texas A&M and Kansas State.
-- Sports Xchange
WR D.J. Beshears - 3 att., 29 yards; 12 rec., 135 yards, 2 TD; 18 ret., 387 yards - Leads the Big 12 in all-purpose yardage with 183.7 yards on average, mostly off kick returns. Kansas must find ways to get Beshears more touches as a receiver and also spring him occasionally on end arounds and reverses. He had a 43-yard catch late in the first half at Georgia Tech.
LB Steven Johnson - 31 tackles, 2 TFL, FF - The surest tackler among the Jayhawks, Johnson also covers the most ground and ranks second in the Big 12 with 10.3 tackles on average. Anything the senior can do to help align teammates correctly would contribute to much-needed improvement on defense.
DE Toben Opurum - 18 tackles, 1 sack, 5.5 TFL, 2 QBH - Could emerge as one of the bigger strengths for the Jayhawks defensively now that they will face a steady assortment of passing teams in the Big 12. Opurum ranks second in the conference with 5.5 tackles for loss, though he does not yet have an unassisted sack.
-- Sports Xchange
Brick By Brick: After last week's defensive performance, it's important that Tech come out and show better on defense against Kansas. Not just to give the team a chance to win, but to help boost confidence and offer tangible proof that the defense is heading in the right direction. No one's expecting the defense to turn on a dime and be 1980's Miami Hurricanes-esque, but they must improve from last week's result if they want to be competitive in the Big 12 this year.
Dam Up The River: The most critical component for Tech's defense will be to get stops early and often. Nevada was able to convert third downs seemingly at will last Saturday, and the Red Raiders will have to put on their big boy pants when the opportunity for a stop arises. If you can get up on Kansas early and hold them down on defense, then the Jayhawks will have to move away from their game plan and start throwing the ball.
Rise Up! The Texas Tech offense seemed a bit dejected and out of sorts for a period of time after Darrin Moore left with an injury. When the second half came around, however, the offense finally found itself and started cranking out production from Eric Stephens, Jacoby Franks and Eric Ward. Tech's offense must find guys to step up in Moore's absence, and Ward, Stephens, and Franks can be those guys.
-- McKay
Texas Tech has won the last four meetings with Kansas and have won 11 of the 12 games in the series. Kansas' only win in the series came in 2001, when the Jayhawks escaped with a 34-31 overtime win.
Kansas has played largely turnover free football games. The Jayhawks have turned the ball over once, and gained just one of their own. Quarterback Jordan Webb has yet to throw an interception this season.
The Red Raiders are currently riding a six-game winning streak, second only to Oklahoma (8) in the Big 12.
Both Tech and Kansas have been very efficient on offense this season. The Red Raiders and Jayhawks rank second and sixth respectively in the Football Bowl Subdivision in offensive third-down efficiency and each converted all of their redzone opportunities this season.

Quantitative Methods - Sampling Considerations
Sample Size
Increasing sample size benefits a research study by increasing the confidence and reliability of the confidence interval, and as a result, the precision with which the population parameter can be estimated. Other choices affect how wide or how narrow a confidence interval will be: choice of statistic, with t being wider/more conservative than z, as well as degree of confidence, with lesser degrees such as 90% resulting in wider/more conservative intervals than 99%. An increase in sample size tends to have an even more meaningful effect, due to the formula for standard error (i.e. the ratio of 'sample standard deviation / sample size1/2'), resulting in the fact that standard error varies inversely with sample size. As a result, more observations in the sample (all other factors equal) improve the quality of a research study.
At the same time, two other factors tend to make larger sample sizes less desirable. The first consideration, which primarily affects time-series data, is that population parameters have a tendency to change over time. For example, if we are studying a mutual fund and using five years of quarterly returns in our analysis (i.e. sample size of 20, 5 years x 4 quarters a year). The resulting confidence interval appears too wide so in an effort to increase precision, we use 20 years of data (80 observations). However, when we reach back into the 1980s to study this fund, it had a different fund manager, plus it was buying more small-cap value companies, whereas today it is a blend of growth and value, with mid to large market caps. In addition, the factors affecting today's stock market (and mutual fund returns) are much different compared to back in the 1980s. In short, the population parameters have changed over time, and data from 20 years ago shouldn't be mixed with data from the most recent five years.
The other consideration is that increasing sample size can involve additional expenses. Take the example of researching hiring plans at S&P 500 firms (cross-sectional research). A sample size of 25 was suggested, which would involve contacting the human resources department of 25 firms. By increasing the sample size to 100, or 200 or higher, we do achieve stronger precision in making our conclusions, but at what cost? In many cross-sectional studies, particularly in the real world, where each sample takes time and costs money, it's sufficient to leave sample size at a certain lower level, as the additional precision isn't worth the additional cost.
Data Mining Bias
Data mining is the practice of searching through historical data in an effort to find significant patterns, with which researchers can build a model and make conclusions on how this population will behave in the future. For example, the so-called January effect, where stock market returns tend to be stronger in the month of January, is a product of data mining: monthly returns on indexes going back 50 to 70 years were sorted and compared against one another, and the patterns for the month of January were noted. Another well-known conclusion from data mining is the 'Dogs of the Dow' strategy: each January, among the 30 companies in the Dow industrials, buy the 10 with the highest dividend yields. Such a strategy outperforms the market over the long run.
Bookshelves are filled with hundreds of such models that "guarantee" a winning investment strategy. Of course, to borrow a common industry phrase, "past performance does not guarantee future results". Data-mining bias refers to the errors that result from relying too heavily on data-mining practices. In other words, while some patterns discovered in data mining are potentially useful, many others might just be coincidental and are not likely to be repeated in the future - particularly in an "efficient" market. For example, we may not be able to continue to profit from the January effect going forward, given that this phenomenon is so widely recognized. As a result, stocks are bid for higher in November and December by market participants anticipating the January effect, so that by the start of January, the effect is priced into stocks and one can no longer take advantage of the model. Intergenerational data mining refers to the continued use of information already put forth in prior financial research as a guide for testing the same patterns and overstating the same conclusions.
Distinguishing between valid models and valid conclusions, and those ideas that are purely coincidental and the product of data mining, presents a significant challenge as data mining is often not easy to discover. A good start to investigate for its presence is to conduct an out-of-sample test - in other words, researching whether the model actually works for periods that do not overlap the time frame of the study. A valid model should continue to be statistically significant even when out-of-model tests are conducted. For research that is the product of data mining, a test outside of the model's time frame can often reveal its true nature. Other warning signs involve the number of patterns or variables examined in the research - that is, did this study simply search enough variables until something (anything) was finally discovered? Most academic research won't disclose the number of variables or patterns tested in the study, but oftentimes there are verbal hints that can reveal the presence of excessive data mining.
Above all, it helps when there is an economic rationale to explain why a pattern exists, as opposed to simply pointing out that a pattern is there. For example, years ago a research study discovered that the market tended to have positive returns in years that the NFC wins the Super Bowl, yet it would perform relatively poorly when the AFC representative triumphs. However, there's no economic rationale for explaining why this pattern exists - do people spend more, or companies build more, or investors invest more, based on the winner of a football game? Yet the story is out there every Super Bowl week. Patterns discovered as a result of data mining may make for interesting reading, but in the process of making decisions, care must be taken to ensure that mined patterns not be blindly overused.
Sample Selection Bias
Many additional biases can adversely affect the quality and the usefulness of financial research. Sample-selection bias refers to the tendency to exclude a certain part of a population simply because the data is not available. As a result, we cannot state that the sample we've drawn is completely random - it is random only within the subset on which historic data could be obtained.
Survivorship Bias
A common form of sample-selection bias in financial databases is survivorship bias, or the tendency for financial and accounting databases to exclude information on companies, mutual funds, etc. that are no longer in existence. As a result, certain conclusions can be made that may in fact be overstated were one to remove this bias and include all members of the population. For example, many studies have pointed out the tendency of companies with low price-to-book-value ratios to outperform those firms with higher P/BVs. However, these studies most likely aren't going to include those firms that have failed; thus data is not available and there is sample-selection bias. In the case of low and high P/BV, it stands to reason that companies in the midst of declining and failing will probably be relatively low on the P/BV scale yet, based on the research, we would be guided to buy these very same firms due to the historical pattern. It's likely that the gap between returns on low-priced (value) stocks and high-priced (growth) stocks has been systematically overestimated as a result of survivorship bias. Indeed, the investment industry has developed a number of growth and value indexes. However, in terms of defining for certain which strategy (growth or value) is superior, the actual evidence is mixed.
Sample selection bias extends to newer asset classes such as hedge funds, a heterogeneous group that is somewhat more removed from regulation, and where public disclosure of performance is much more discretionary compared to that of mutual funds or registered advisors of separately managed accounts. One suspects that hedge funds will disclose only the data that makes the fund look good (self-selection bias), compared to a more developed industry of mutual funds where the underperformers are still bound by certain disclosure requirements.
Look-Ahead Bias
Research is guilty of look-ahead bias if is makes use of information that was not actually available on a particular day, yet the researchers assume it was. Let's returning to the example of buying low price-to-book-value companies; the research may assume that we buy our low P/BV portfolio on Jan 1 of a given year, and then (compared to a high P/BV portfolio) hold it throughout the year. Unfortunately, while a firm's current stock price is immediately available, the book value of the firm is generally not available until months after the start of the year, when the firm files its official 10-K. To overcome this bias, one could construct P/BV ratios using current price divided by the previous year's book value, or (as is done by Russell's indexes) wait until midyear to rebalance after data is reported.
Time-Period Bias
This type of bias refers to an investment study that may appear to work over a specific time frame but may not last in future time periods. For example, any research done in 1999 or 2000 that covered a trailing five-year period may have touted the outperformance of high-risk growth strategies, while pointing to the mediocre results of more conservative approaches. When these same studies are conducted today for a trailing 10-year period, the conclusions might be quite different. Certain anomalies can persist for a period of several quarters or even years, but research should ideally be tested in a number of different business cycles and market environments in order to ensure that the conclusions aren't specific to one unique period or environment.

We've grown to over 500 customers mainly by word-of-mouth. But customer referrals alone will not help us reach our grand goal of 5,000 customers. Help us explore creative ways to broaden our reach, so that more potential clients find their way to our product.
Small Improvements is hiring
Passionate team
Friendly people will bring you up to speed in no time.Meet the team →
Modern tech stack
AngularJS, Gulp, App Engine, Spring Security, Gradle etc.Explore our tech stack →
And much more
Cozy office, no over-time, travel abroad, and amazing customers.See our customer feedback →
Open Positions
Our product helps customers simplify their feedback processes and solves many pain points. But we're terrible at getting the word out, and even worse at explaining the why and how. Our early customers knew instinctly what works and what doesn't, but now we want to share this knowledge with the world. Can you help?
Do you love coding on the front-end, and have had some plent of exposure to back-end frameworks as well? Then here's your chance to use AngularJS on a large scale project in a friendly and fast-paced environment.
We're moving our entire product from "classic" web-based to REST, and re-imagining the entire front-end. Our team consists of 6 full-time AngularJS developers already, and we're looking for one more very(!) experienced person to help us solving hard architectural problems.
Do you love coding and did you work at least five years full-time on challenging server-side projects? We need to talk! At Small Improvements you'll develop complex features in a friendly and fast-paced environment, you'll be in charge of our architecture, you'll mentor our more junior developers, and you'll gather feedback directly from some of our amazing clients too.
Do you love clean and elegant web design? Are you able to transform your ideas into actual web sites and features? We're building a modern SAAS application that requires a slick website and extremely polished application features alike.
Are you fresh out of school or uni and are looking for challenges? Can you show some existing work from personal projects or freelance work? Join the SI frontend team and grind your teeth on a seriously demanding codebase, while getting mentored by bright and helpful coworkers.
Do you enjoy working with people? Don't mind challenging tasks, and you're fairly organized too? Here's your chance to join our international team of customer success agents.
You'll help our customers when they have questions, you'll demo our product to evaluators online, you'll provide feedback to our development team. There's no sales work involved, and we maintain a strict no-overtime policy.
We offer between 1500€ and 2000€ referral commission for successful candidates, so do tell your friends! But, dear recruiters, we don't pay more than that, so please don't call us. We have never worked with outside recruiters, and probably never will. Thanks :)
Life at Small Improvements
We love what we do, and we also love to travel and learn new things. As an example, the entire company met in New York in October 2013 to celebrate success and brainstorm our new roadmap. But we also love the small things, meeting customers, decorating the office and attending local conferences and events. Check our video and slideshows for some impressions.
We're always looking for smart people
Join an enthusiastic team and work with us on a product customers love to use!
Some perks you'll enjoy when working at SI
Our greatest assets are a carefully selected team of passionate developers, and a really enjoyable work environment. And then there are some perks that might not be as obvious:
Work machine
Our default work machine is a 13 inch MBP Retina with SSD, 16GB RAM and two screens. A comparable Windows or Linux machine is just as fine of course.
You'll get a €2k education budget and 3 paid days so you can attend conferences, buy books or take online courses. Training also "just happens" on the job of course.
We'll help with relocation by paying up to €1k of your expenses, covering for instance the movers or an AirBnb-Apartment while you're house hunting.
No overtime
Although we're a startup, we don't believe in overtime. It's a strict 40h work week, and if you happen to log more hours, please take a day off the next week.
German course (Berlin)
For those joining the Berlin HQ, we'll cover 80% of the costs of an intense 12-week German course, and it's ok that you'll not be able to work the full 8 hours during that time.
Trip to the US or EU
We love to travel, and you may join our annual one-week trip to the US to visit customers and to meet the US team. Or to Berlin, if you're in the US. Check out our 2015 trip video.
We believe that coding is a team effort, so we prefer on-premises work. But it's fine to work from home one day a week on average.
Transparency is very dear to us. We publish our revenues once a quarter (see the latest one here), so you can imagine that our intranet is even more transparent.
Ethical company
We turn down dodgy clients, we use Greenpeace Energy to power our office and GLS Bank for our savings, and we're donating 1% of revenues to charity.
Be involved in every part of the process
Compared with other players in the Berlin ecosystem, we're tiny. But since we're passionate and use some awesome tools, we're getting stuff done despite being small. And you'll be involved in every part of the process. You can plan, develop and deploy entire features from start to finish, including talking to beta clients, incorporating their feedback, and then writing the release notes when your creation goes live. It's still teamwork and you don't have to do it all on your own — but team sizes are rarely larger than 3.
So your voice will be heard when we make product- and design decisions. In fact, quite often you will be that voice! We love it when developers propose feature ideas and we typically work with very limited initial specs. There is plenty of space for your ideas, no product managers will give you the "definitive list of features" and ask you to implement them one by one.
We have some very demanding clients, so developing great features is not a walk in the park. Your work will probably go through multiple iterations before we launch it, and there will be plenty of discussions and prototypes before we're happy. But once a feature is launched, and demanding clients such as Pinterest or Quiksilver just love it, then the hard work has truly paid off, and no product manager will eat your lunch.
Work for amazing clients
Speaking of which: We work with some of the world's top companies. We work with their representatives on a daily basis, get feedback from their UI experts, and discuss technical details with their IT team. We demo our new features to their HR staff, and help them if they have any questions. Learn what they say about Small Improvements on our Customer testimonials page.

Security Controls and Lessons Learned from the Financial Crisis
Bryan Casey 270003BSJV email@example.com | | Tags:  security ibm mortgage financial crisis
0 Comments | 2,991 Visits
You know one of the interesting things I've noticed, and it's not really specific to security, is that the more interconnected the world becomes, the harder it is to find the root cause when something goes wrong. If we look at the financial/mortgage crisis for example, if you wanted to point the finger at one person or event, could you do it? I've wanted to for a long time, tracing this chain back to some single point of failure, but it's really not possible. When something like this happens, where there isn't one root cause, accountability becomes a big mess because everyone can push the problem onto someone else. The problem is that if everyone pushes around problems, problems never get solved. So, the way that we need to look at it is that instead of there being limited accountability, there needs to be a lot of accountability.
This type of complex interconnected failure isn't so different from what we see in the news around data breaches. People want security to be simpler and they want to find that single point of failure, and sometimes it's there, but often times, it's really not. Our technology world has grown to become a complex systems of systems where legacy systems are communicating with new systems, the notion of a perimeter is dissolving, new consumption and delivery models are popping up all the time and we have to secure all of this.
Let's face it, the majority of attacks today don't operate in little silos. They can cross users and endpoints, applications, networks, databases, etc. So despite the fact that you might have different teams responsible for all of these areas of your system, and you might see them as separate, attackers see this as one, connected system. As a result, when breaches happen, often times it is often a combination of insufficient security controls, problematic policy and even things like a lack of user education. When we live in a world of complex and networked technologies, the notion of a single point of failure is disappearing.
So what do we do about this? Obviously a layered defense is imperative. You need to think about your data, how it moves, where it rests, how it gets accessed, which data is most important and how you can apply security controls all along the way. Moving away from just the technology, one of the other things that people talk about is accounting for the human element in security. When people are talking about this they are generally referring to the fact that users will click on just about anything, so security has to acknowledge that users are going to constantly put their organizations at risk. But there's another side of that human element that I think is important, and that is establishing a culture in your organization that security needs to be top of mind, and that everyone is responsible. Whether you are a developer, a DBA, an executive who might be targeted or an IT manager, security is something you need to consider. Yes, new technologies will help, but changing culture and process, while never easy, is almost always an essential element of dealing with systemic issues, whether they be financial markets or security concerns.
The last bit worth acknowledging is the dangers of ignoring something that appears broken, but ignoring it because it hasn't actually broken yet. So in this case we're talking about warning signs around the economy but the market still going up, and IT decision makers saying, "well we haven't been breached, so we must be secure," regardless of their actual security posture.
Despite what we would all like, these aren't issues you can just sweep under the rug and cross your fingers hoping that a problem won't pop up. Organizations need to confront these issues.
