Born and raised in California, I earned my BA in Anthropology (Hon) and Philosophy at Bates College, Lewiston, Maine, US and went on to complete my MA and PhD in Social and Cultural Anthropology at The University of Chicago. Over the course of the last thirty years my work has focused on Tamil speaking south India. I have worked on various research projects relating to the history and ethnography of media including Tamil cinema, film exhibition, drama, music, gramophone, radio, popular publishing, election campaigns and the emergence of satellite TV.
Since joining SOAS in 1997 my teaching has focused on the Anthropology of Media, ethnographic and documentary film, social theory and South Asia. I spent two years away from SOAS as a Research Fellow, on the NWO Pionier Program, Modern Mass Media, Religion and the Imagination of Communities: Different Postcolonial Trajectories in West Africa, India, Brazil and the Caribbean, Amsterdam School for Social Science Research, University of Amsterdam (2003-2005). And then during 2009-2010 I was away for another year on fieldwork in Chennai, India funded by the AIIS/NEH.

My work clusters around three main research areas broadly relating to the history of media in south India- 1) early film audience and exhibition; 2) musical performance and the emergence of sound media; and 3) religion, media and politics.
One area of research interest concerns the social and cultural history of silent cinema audiences in south India from multiple perspectives. Chronologically, this work covers the beginnings of commercial cinema in south India from its introduction by touring exhibitors at the turn of the twentieth century until the transition to sound films and the emergence of a distinctly Tamil cinema in the 1930s. Within this period I have examined the leading institutions, practices and discourses that variously defined the rapidly shifting conditions of audience composition and the film-going experience. The overall purpose of this work has been to rethink critically the historiography of early cinema in India through an investigation of its audiences. Conventional approaches to the history of cinema in India have consisted of an exclusive emphasis on the pioneering efforts of film production, film stars and classic films texts with little or no effort to consider the broader social and cultural conditions, which preceded and exceeded the films themselves. Therefore, in shifting this historiographic emphasis, I developed original ethnographic and historical research into a general approach for the study of cinema audiences. I treat audiences as people who attended the cinema and as abstracted social categories, both variously constituted through exhibition practices, government regulation, film genres, public debate and experiences of film-going.
My second research concentration focuses on the historical conjuncture of sound and modernity in south India. The overall argument is that, in contrast to a Euro-American association of vision/visuality with modernity, sound is the dominant sense of cultural modernity in south India. This work considers how over the first half of the 20th century the introduction of new sound media- harmonium, gramophone, radio, loud speakers and cinema- placed music at the centre of south Indian debates about modernity and reconfigured notions of the public and public space through new practices of sound broadcasting and listening.
The third area of research was started as part of my contributions to the collaborative research project I was part of at the University of Amsterdam- Modern Mass Media, Religion and Imagination of Communities: Different Postcolonial Trajectories in West Africa, India, Brazil and the Caribbean (see www.pscw.uva.nl/media-religion). As part of this project I developed a line of research using the study of Tamil cinema to address questions about the changing relations among mass media, religion and politics in south India. I have been working on an episodic history concentrating upon a series of key films and debates in the changing religious and political equation around Tamil cinema. Specifically I have followed the political debates surrounding initial religious orientation of Indian silent cinema through to its transformation into a Tamil film genre with the introduction of cinema sound in the 1930s. As Tamil cinema developed into a south Indian regional and linguistically defined sub-national film making tradition, Hindu mythological and devotional films featured prominently in a major realignment within south Indian cultural politics of modernity.

This is dew; and the temperature at which the air is saturated with vapor, is called the dew-point.
In the twenty-eighth line of this table and in the seventh column will be found the dew-point, viz., 41.
Amongst the various contrivances for accomplishing859 this end are Daniels dew-point hygrometer; and the wet bulb hygrometer.
The temperature at which the haze first appears is the dew-point.
Hence the utility of instruments for determining the dew-point.
That point of temperature at which the moisture of the air first becomes visible is known as the dew-point.
At the height of one mile the temperature was 41 degrees and the dew-point 38 degrees.
The dew-point apparatus, now discontinued, approximates very closely in its readings to the dry and wet bulb thermometers.
Temperature 229 above the average, and the complement of the dew-point 240 below the mean of the two preceding years.
|dew point
The temperature at which the water vapor contained in a volume of air at a given atmospheric pressure reaches saturation and condenses to form dew. The dew point varies depending on how much water vapor the air contains, with humid air having a higher dew point than dry air. When large droplets of condensation form, they are deposited onto surfaces as dew. When smaller droplets form, they remain suspended in the air as mist or fog. If the dew point is below the freezing temperature of water (0°C), the water vapor turns directly into frost by sublimation.

Not all of the recent press vampires have been getting has helped their image though, presuming that vampires exist and it is not their goal as a species to slowly take over Seventeen magazine. Publisher Kalypso is setting aside the glitter and bringing back the gore with the recent release of Dark — a stealth action, pseudo-RPG that plays in a vein similar to Obsidian's mostly maligned Alpha Protocol. Having just said that, I understand I'm going to have to work hard to explain why that's a cool thing." 7.5/10

"Wow what a neat little item!
I went out on earth day to collect trash on the roadside and took a trash bag with me and it drove me nuts that it would not stay open. I figured someone must have made a solution for this and I searched Amazon and this popped up. This is exactly what I imagined and it looks like the seller is the inventor. Very sturdy, the plastic is heavy and robust. It is fairly easy to put a bag on it but not really quick change. No way it will fall off even with a full load. Overall, Bravo." -- Michigan
"After filling 300 bags with my BagMaster, I can say it is just as strong now as it was when I started using it." -- South Carolina
"Snow has melted enough for us to start raking again. Put a bag on the BagMaster and gave it to my husband to try out. He liked it so well I never even got a chance to use it. He kept on saying, 'This things works great!' Thought you might like to know how how he liked it. One day I will get a chance to use it." -- Idaho

|In the first tally of its kind, a federal investigative agency has calculated that at least 719 people, nearly half of them Americans, were killed working on projects to rebuild Iraq following the U.S. invasion in 2003. The actual number of people killed doing reconstruction work is probably much higher than 719 but cannot be reliably determined, the Office of the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction said in releasing its estimate Friday.

A court-appointed trustee, John Hyde, officially took over management of bankrupt NSB Corp., (the former Hemdale Film Corp.) yesterday, as trade creditors and banks maneuvered to become members of a creditors committee that will negotiate the indie's restructuring.The unsecured creditors committee includes: Credit Lyonnais (owed about $ 90 million, $ 30 million unsecured), Svenska Handelsbanken (owed $ 20.08 million), Chase Manhattan Bank (owed $ 1.7 million), the Screen Actors Guild ($ 6 million) , Permanent Trustee Co. ($ 4.54 million), Thomas Fox ($ 2 million) and American Gothic Prods. Inc. ($ 277,328). Attorney Stephen Chrystie, who filed the involuntary Chapter 7 petition that forced bankruptcy, was opposed to Credit Lyonnais as a committee member because the bank is a secured creditor with only about $ 30 million unsecured. "They should not be on this committee, because their position is essentially in conflict with the rest of the trade creditors and guilds," noted Chrystie.

First pro printer purchase: Epson R3000 or Canon Pixma Pro 10?

Re: First pro printer purchase: Epson R3000 or Canon Pixma Pro 10?
In reply to NachoYogi, Jul 14, 2013
Assuming similarity of prices, go with the Epson. Like it or not, Epson just about owns the pro printer market. For many reasons I purchased 2 HP printers. One 24" roll feed and the other printed 13" by up to 42" long. Each was superior to the Epson for my needs. HP suddenly left the Pro market and both printers are Manufacturer Discontinued. This means that even minor repairs are problematic and more importantly, each upgrade to my Mac operating system is a massive problem. After the latest OS upgrade each printer is completely disabled.

I have red marks and acne scars and this concealer is the only one that makes me feel comfortable. It covers very well and does not look heavy. I do not use foundation before or powder after. I just apply bronzer over it and pretty much lasts all day.

Well, I wish I knew about this product, or considered buying palettes before I went through the dozens of concealers/foundations that I have, never being able to find the right shade. I use palette #3 which is for olive/yellow skin tones, as I am Filipino. According to MAC cosmeticians, I'm a NC35-42, but the CS shades suit me much better. And they just melt into my skin and blend in flawlessly. And I like being able to customize it a bit with all the shades, since my skin has different shades of hyperpigmentation. I use mostly the middle shade with sometimes a few dabs from the lightest one.
My only problem with it, is I was sort of confused and thought it was a concealer, when palette #3 is a foundation. (Other palettes in the line ARE concealers, however). So while this product hides slight imperfections, it doesn't have the coverage and staying power that I look for in a concealer, to hide pimples and scars. Because of this, I really tried to spackle it on throughout the day, which made it worse because, in conjunction with the powder I use as all over foundation (I don't like using creme based foundation all over), the layers of makeup became really jarring. I seemed to have solved this by using my Ben Nye mellow yellow neutralizing concealer underneath, which sticks much better, like a MAC studio concealer.
So I use my Ben Nye yellow concealer on major blemishes, do a dusting of mineral powder to even out my whole face, and use CS for coverage on minor flaws and to lightly layer on top of the neutralizing concealer.
I would definitely keep this in mind as a foundation, however, if what you're looking for in a concealer is coverage and staying powder. Even as an under eye concealer, it wasn't very effective. Though it "melted" into the rest of my face, it seemed to dry up and accentuate lines around the eye area, even when I especially moisturized the area.

There have already been a plethora of helpful reviews, but I figured I'd add my two cents and yet another thumbs up for this fantastic product. I've been using it for close to a year now, and I apply it in a variety of different ways depending on how my skin is, the time of year, and the coverage I require.
I'd recommend getting a palette to start, and then purchasing the individual shade that works the best for you. If you're concerned about being wasteful with the colors that don't work - don't be. I used the too-dark colors for contouring, and the too-light colors for some particularly aggressive red spots.
Ways I've applied this with great success:
1) As a makeshift tinted moisturizer. I dab it on my face with a concealer brush, squirt some of my moisturizer or sunscreen in my hand, and apply to face. Gives you even coverage with an extremely natural finish.
2) As a foundation. Again, dab on necessary areas with a concealer brush, and then use a damp sponge to buff it into your skin. Feel free to add more as needed, and work in layers. The finish is natural and does not look cake-y as long as you are well moisturized.
3) As mentioned, I've used the too-dark colors for contouring. I recommend Lisa Eldrige on youtube if you're not familiar with the technique, but it works well to use cream-based products on other creamy products, and powders on powders. Therefore, when I've applied my cinema secrets foundation, I'll contour with the too-dark foundation down my nose, or under my cheekbones, and blend well.
I hope this helped someone. As a note, I have dry, acne prone skin that normally hates products like this - so it has been working well for me for reasons I don't understand or want to question! :)

I went out and bought the #1 Corrector Kit after reading so many great reviews on this product (deciding between Makeup Forever HD or this; decided on this for its color mixing abilities).
It's my second concealer I've ever tried (Bare Minerals Summer Bisque was my first; meh. Didn't match my skin tone).
It conceals my acne perfectly, but it in turn makes it break out much more worse. My under-eye circles still peek through the concealer, it looks horribly cakey no matter how much I apply and blend, & it melts off within hours, so I have to put on primer + powder if I want it to last.
I was really intimidated by the range of colors and the application, but it's not that difficult to use; not my HG (holy grail) product and I will most defiantly not buy again.
*edit: although the concealing pigments are very nice for redness, it made my acne worse & I find that the concealer comes off VERY easily...I do have extremely oily skin, but a bit disappointed nonetheless.

It covers sooo well! I had acne and it's better now but left many scars. My old Makeup Forever HD foundation can't cover them. I found this foundation online and saw many good reviews so I had to try it! They have a large variety of shades. The foundation/concealer's texture is creamy. I read the ingredient list and compared with a list which contains comedogenic ingredients, and NOT A SINGLE one matched. I just got my package a few days ago. It was expected, covers very well. I haven't got any breakouts so far. Their 603 concealer for redness is really great. It covered my tough redness areas. I recommend new buyers get some samples first and order the full size.

NC25 Chinese, acne discolorations.
Kit#01. Using a dense brush is key for stippling this concealer on (ie. the Sigma P84 for specific areas or F84 for larger areas when my whole cheek is going nuts).
605-61(4th): stipple this peachy beige color under eyes to neutralize eye circles
603-21(3rd): Slightly darker than NC25, so this would be good for contouring under the cheekbones if you're into that level of detail.
602-65(2nd): primarry concealer color for my old acne marks, very buildable
607-19 (1st): neutral color to adjust any of the colors above to suit you.
Since all the colors are in one palette, I just dabbity dab dab. With such great coverage, I just set w/ powder foundation to even out my skintone and off I go. Liquid foundations are just getting to be too heavy for me.
PS. The foundation version 301-63A may work well for NC25 if you're interested as a foundation, but I find it too heavy by itself.

Best concealer I've used, and I've tried my fair share of HE concealers!
I also use this around my nose area as it has some darkness around it.
Because it is more pigmented and more creamy, it can accentuate dry patches.
For ref. I'm an NC20-25 with yellow undertones. I use PS507-45.
EDIT: i will say that the color above has slightly more pink undertone, even though i'm more golden. it's not too much pink where it looks bad. i wear it because it helps offset the greenish/purplish dark undereye area. if i used a yellow i would probably look more sallow and greenish in the undereye area.

Omg omg
Sooooo ummm well I have been using makeup since 13 including foundation
I have used liquids, creams , and minerals
This is a winner in the following categories
Coverage ( so buildable!!!) , Value ( it lasts long time if u use sponge or brush),
Not fake looking!! Most importantly NO BREAKOUTS !!!! :)
A makeupartist introduced this to me
and I have been using for 1 yr now and it would amaze me to find something better
I started with the palette matching my skin tone then determined the 2 colors ( dark/light) that gave me perfect match ( if u tan simply add more darker color) i pay $25 for a huge pot and they last 1 yr (i wear makeup everyday)
Highly recommended ladies...highly recommended

For reference, I'm a C2 (light w/yellow undertones) and use 602-65 for a spot concealer.
I can't really comment on packaging, since I've only ordered a sample size of this from Camera Ready Cosmetics. The sample should last me quite awhile though, as I only use it for blemishes and only wear makeup once or twice a week. It does cover nicely, but you've got to learn how to make it work for you personally. I do wish it were a little drier and waterproof, as the creaminess of it makes it sometimes smudge off as I'm trying to blend. And you absolutely have to set it with some sort of powder, which can also be tricky to get on.
But, I like it and will most likely purchase the full size (which is very cheap in comparison to other concealers) when I run out.

I didn't like this until I experimented like HE** and finally realized what works for me. as a concealer: with clean hands, use ring finger and pick up the smallest amount of product, i mean BARELY touch it and lightly pat and blend where you need it. you can layer it if you do VERY light layers, but put it on thick and it will cake like a mofo- so just go super easy and it will look great! as a foundation: works best for me when i apply lightly with a brush then blend with a damp sponge (but really it's better as a concealer imho)
pro's - reasonable price for amt of product
-great coverage
con's -tricky to work with, can look cakey
-packaging sucks, looks cheap
-internet only makes color selection tricky
honestly, i think most of the people that didn't like this either didn't apply it correctly (took me a bit) or just got the wrong color- it's pretty good. :)
some reviewers said they had trouble matching color, a couple of tips about that: 1) call cinema secrets- they actually recommended based on my description that i use the corrector palette for foundation and it worked! 2) intriguebeauty.com (not affiliated) will send a sample for $4 and their customer service is GREAT! (b/c i was ordering other things, the rep actually gave me my 3 samples free!) 3) intriguebeauty.com (again NOT affiliated i just found them to be great) will match the color for you if you send them a sample of your current fd!
UPDATE: This stuff looks wonderful when blended with a Sonia Kashuk blending sponge!!! I couldn't believe it. If you have this product and didn't like it- try the sponge!

- Cisco (CSCO -1%) is buying Embrane, a provider of virtual (software-based) firewall and load balancer appliances, and (perhaps more importantly for Cisco) a software platform for deploying and managing virtual appliances (whether Embrane's or a third party's). Terms are undisclosed.
- Embrane's team is joining Cisco's Insieme SDN/switching unit; the networking giant argues Embrane's offerings will strengthen the feature set of its Nexus data center switch line and ACI SDN/networking virtualization platform (seeing healthy growth, in pitched battle with VMware's NSX).
- SDXCentral observes Embrane could help Cisco support higher-level (Layer 4-7) network traffic management via ACI. Along the way, Embrane's IP could help Cisco better address a virtual networking/security appliance market that (by enabling commodity servers to be quickly turned into switches, firewalls, etc.) has been easily outgrowing the market for physical appliances.

- MKM's Michael Genovese is pleased with Infinera's (NASDAQ:INFN) recent unveiling of two new photonic integrated circuits (PICs) that will go into optical transport systems aimed at 100G metro networks. "PICs are the source of the company's competitive advantage in long haul, and we expect the new more flexible and granular PICs to form the basis of a compelling Metro 100G aggregation/Telecom product later this year."
- Infinera asserts its new PICs offer more flexibility by allowing capacity to be "divided at a granular optical level with each slice capable of being routed in a different direction as it exits the line card or the system housing it." One PIC (the ePIC-500) delivers 500Gbps of capacity at network hub locations, and the other (the oPIC-100) 100Gbps at network spoke locations.
- Infinera claims tests showed "an estimated average reduction of 28 percent in modules, 31 percent in power and 45 percent in bandwidth inefficiencies as compared to conventional, commercial off the shelf technologies that deliver single-wavelength or super-channel solutions for 100G, 200G or 400G."
- Genovese sees Infinera's addressable market expanding to ~$20B in 2018 from ~$5B in 2014 as it "competes in end-to-end Optical Transport including Metro and [data center infrastructure]," and as its systems handle traffic forwarding features traditionally handled by routers - the latter could pose challenges for Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO) and Juniper (NYSE:JNPR).
- Infinera is once more within a dollar of a 52-week high of $19.48.

- Like others, Stifel reports Ciena (NYSE:CIEN) and Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO) are expected to share a huge Verizon 100G metro optical contract. However, while others have reported Cisco will get ~2/3 of the contract, Stifel's checks indicate the Cisco/Ciena split hasn't been determined; the firm believes "both vendors will start on an equal footing," and that Ciena might even get a majority of the deal.
- Ciena is expected to supply a platform that's similar to its 6500 series packet-optical (integrated Ethernet switching/optical networking) hardware, and which supports OTN switching. Stifel thinks Ciena, whose 6500 series is already used in Verizon's 100G long-haul network, could get over $100M in 2016 revenue from the metro deal. Cowen has estimated the total contract opportunity could be worth $200M-$300M over two years.
- Optical component vendor NeoPhotonics (NPTN +4%), which received 15% of its 2014 revenue from Ciena (trailing only Huawei's 38%) and has healthy 100G exposure, is also rallying. Its shares are now up 104% since a Q4 beat was posted on March 3.
- Update: Verizon has confirmed Ciena and Cisco have won the deal. No word on the split between the companies.

- Polycom (PLCM +1.7%) plans to offer a line of videoconferencing products built specifically for Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) widely-used Skype for Business (until recently known as Lync) unified communications (UC) software platform.
- The first product created for the offering, the RoundTable 100, is aimed at SMBs; Polycom claims it takes "just minutes to set up and start using. In addition, Polycom's CX videoconferencing hardware line will join the RoundTable line, and its VVX business phones will support an upcoming Office 365 cloud VoIP service.
- Synergy Research just estimated Microsoft had a 13% Q4 UC collaboration market share, second only to (Polycom archrival) Cisco's (NASDAQ:CSCO) 16%. Polycom was assigned a 3% share (#5 overall). Overall, the market grew only 2% Y/Y, with declining enterprise voice and telepresence product sales offset by growing demand for hosted voice, hosted contact center, cloud UC, enterprise social networking, and enterprise presence/IM offerings.

- With Intel's (NASDAQ:INTC) Grantley Xeon CPU launch and Web data center investments offsetting weak high-end server demand, IDC estimates global server revenue rose 1.9% Y/Y in Q4 to $14.5B, and Gartner estimates it rose 2.2% to $14B; those figures compares with Q3 growth estimates of 4.8% and 1.7%, respectively.
- Likewise, IDC estimates global enterprise storage revenue rose 7.2% Y/Y in Q4, aided by Web investments and healthy demand for mid-range systems featuring integrated flash. Q3 growth was pegged at 5.1%.
- IBM had a rough time its both the server and storage markets: IDC believes its storage share fell to 9% (tied for #3) from 12.7% a year earlier, and Gartner estimates its server revenue fell 14% if one excludes Big Blue's x86 server unit, which was just sold to Lenovo. After accounting for the x86 sale, IDC estimates IBM's server share was at 13.7% (#3) vs. 26.8% a year ago.
- HP (NYSE:HPQ) fared a little better: IDC has its server share falling fractionally to 26.8% (still #1 overall), and its storage share falling to 13.8% (#2) from 14.1%. The company's x86 server unit has been gaining ground against IBM's former business, but its high-end server sales remain weak.
- Cisco's (NASDAQ:CSCO) UCS server line (recently refreshed) continues to gain ground: Its share rose to 5.3% (#5) from 4.5%, with full-year revenue pegged at $2.9B. With the help of aggressive pricing and x86 growth, Dell's server share rose to 16.7% (#2) from 15.2%, while its storage share slipped to 9% (tied for #3) from 9.2%. Lenovo (OTCPK:LNVGY) claimed a 7.6% server share (#4) thanks to the IBM deal, kicking Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) out of the top-5 along the way.
- EMC, whose high-end storage sales have been pressured (mid-range/flash demand has been better), saw its storage share drop to 22.2% (still #1) from 23.1%. NetApp (NASDAQ:NTAP), which posted an FQ3 miss and light guidance last month amid tough mid-range competition from EMC and others, saw its share drop to 7.2% (#5) from 8%.
- Not surprisingly, the white-label hardware beloved by Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc. continued to take share. IDC estimates such hardware, referred to as ODM Direct, claimed server and storage shares of 8.2% and 12.8% vs. 6.4% and 9.9% a year ago.
- Sales of x86 servers, the lion's share of which run on Intel CPUs, rose 7.1% to $11.5B. Sales of non-x86 servers fell 14% to $3B, thanks to declining demand for both mainframes and UNIX servers running proprietary RISC CPUs. "Early-stage revenue" was seen for ARM (NASDAQ:ARMH) servers, largely via HP's Moonshot line.
- Other companies with strong server and/or storage exposure: STX, WDC, SMCI, MLNX, AVGO, QLGC, RHT
Mar. 5, 2015, 11:31 AM
- Zix (ZIXI +7.2%) and Cisco (CSCO - unchanged) have struck an OEM deal regarding the integration of Zix's e-mail encryption tech with a new version of Cisco's IronPort Encryption Appliance (IEA), and the inclusion of Cisco's Post X Envelope e-mail delivery method with the ZixGateway e-mail encryption appliance.
- The IEA refresh will become available in May, and the revamped ZixGateway solution in Q4. The former will include new hardware and software patches to go with Zix's technology.
- Zix has surged to new 2015 highs following the announcement. The 52-week high is $4.69.
Mar. 2, 2015, 4:12 PM
- Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO) rose 2.2% today, and in doing so rallied above $30 for the first time since 2007. Shares are up 12% since the networking giant beat FQ2 estimates and reported 5% Y/Y product order growth on Feb. 11.
- Like telecom equipment peers, Cisco has made a flurry of announcements at the Mobile World Congress. Drawing attention: The launch of the USC 8000 small cell 4G/Wi-Fi base station line for enterprises and public venues. Vodafone is deploying the solution, which includes both access points and controllers and aims to address growing carrier interest in deploying small cells in high-traffic locales.
- Cisco has also announced: 1) Mobility IQ, a SaaS/cloud-based analytics software solution for mobile carriers that contains network monitoring, advertising, and service management tools; IBM has also shown an interest in this space. 2) A deal with AT&T through which Ma Bell will rely on Cisco's products to deliver connected car services.
Feb. 25, 2015, 3:16 PM
- Bloomberg reports HP (HPQ -10.1%) is in talks to acquire enterprise Wi-Fi hardware/software provider Aruba Networks (ARUN +22.5%), and that a deal could be announced as soon as next week. Aruba has skyrocketed on the report, and has taken rival Ruckus (RKUS +4.7%) higher with it. Aruba's market cap is now around $2.5B.
- Aruba is the enterprise Wi-Fi market's #2 player - behind Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO), which towers over the space - and HP is also in the top-5. IDC estimates Cisco, Aruba, Ruckus, and HP respectively had Q2 2014 enterprise Wi-Fi shares of 46.8%, 11.8%, 6.2%, and 4.5%.
- HP, whose shares have plunged today due to an FQ1 revenue miss and soft guidance, saw its total networking revenue drop 11% Y/Y in FQ1 - "execution issues" in the U.S. and China were blamed. The IT giant has suggested it's open to making enterprise acquisitions ahead of its PC/printing spinoff.
Feb. 25, 2015, 12:43 PM
- As of 2012, Cisco (CSCO -0.9%) had 60 products on a Chinese government list of products approved for purchase by state entities. As of late 2014, it had none, according to Reuters' analysis of government data.
- PC/server virtualization software vendor Citrix (CTXS +0.5%) has also seen its products disappear from the list, as have Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Intel's (NASDAQ:INTC) McAfee security software unit. While the total number of products on the list has risen by over 2K since 2012 (to nearly 5K), the number of approved foreign tech brands has fallen by a third.
- The data highlights the ripple effects of the 2013 NSA spying uproar, as well as China's broader interest in promoting local tech firms relative to foreign suppliers. Bloomberg reported in December the Chinese government is "aiming to purge most foreign technology from banks, the military, state-owned enterprises and key government agencies by 2020."
- Cisco's Chinese sales have already been under heavy pressure for several quarters. Thanks in part to the government's efforts, the networking giant's Chinese orders fell 19% Y/Y in the January quarter, compared with just a 1% drop for other Asia-Pac markets.
- Lenovo (OTCPK:LNVGY), ZTE (OTCPK:ZTCOY), and Huawei are among the local firms likely to benefit from the government's attempts to buy local.
Feb. 19, 2015, 1:26 PM
- Already the #2 vendor in the enterprise Ethernet switch market (behind Cisco), HP (HPQ +0.2%) is partnering with Taiwanese ODM Accton Technology and embedded Linux startup Cumulus Networks to launch a line of HP-branded white box switches (referred to as "brite-box switches") for Web-scale data centers running commodity hardware.
- Accton will manufacture the switches, and Cumulus will supply the OS they run on. Internet giants such as Google, Facebook, and Amazon have been major adopters of cheap white-box hardware, as well as of software-defined networking (SDN) architectures that allow commodity switches to be managed and provisioned by software-based controllers. Verizon is also embracing the trend, in part by deploying Cumulus' software.
- Cisco's (NASDAQ:CSCO) John Chambers has called white-box hardware his company's biggest long-term threat. Facebook, through its Open Compute Project, has helped lead the charge; last week, the social networking giant showed off a new 6-module switch design (can be used by any manufacturer that wants to).
- The partnership isn't HP's first stab at taking part in the white-box boom: Last year, the company partnered with Foxconn to provide commodity servers for Web-scale data centers.
Feb. 12, 2015, 2:00 PM
- At least six firms have upped their Cisco (CSCO +8.7%) targets in response to the company's FQ2 beat, in-line guidance, and healthy product orders. Shares are at their highest levels since 2007.
- "We came away from the call with greater confidence in Cisco's technology leadership, execution and recovery trajectory," writes Oppenheimer (Buy). "While the headwinds in emerging markets and service provider are likely to remain in place, we believe that by now they are well reflected in estimates."
- William Blair (Outperform): "While Cisco clearly benefited from easy comparisons across its business and several major product cycles, we nonetheless walked away with increased confidence in the company's business momentum, growth prospects and strategic positioning."
- Sterne Agee (Buy): "The biggest takeaway that should drive incremental support in the stock near term is the improving tone on emerging markets (India plus 11%, Mexico plus 21%) along with U.S. commercial strength up 12% against a relatively tough comp (total Americas up 7% along with EMEA up 7%)."
- Deutsche (Buy) believes Cisco businesses responsible for half of sales - data center switching, security, services, and Wi-Fi - can post growth "2x or higher" than GDP growth. Credit Suisse (Underperform) remains bearish on a belief SDN will begin having a bigger impact on Cisco's sales and margins over the next 12-18 months.
- John Chambers mentioned yesterday Cisco now has 300+ customers for its APIC SDN controller. The remarks come after VMware reported paid customer count for its rival NSX platform rose 60% Q/Q in Q4 to 400+. Facebook, meanwhile, has just revealed a new modular switch platform for its open-source Open Compute Project.

Feb. 12, 2015, 11:03 AM
- Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO) beat FQ2 estimates on the back of 8% Y/Y product growth (aided by favorable comps), offered in-line guidance (better than feared, given forex pressures), and reported a 5% increase in product orders. Enterprise, SMB, and public sector orders respectively rose 10%, 8%, and 7%, and service provider orders dropping 1% (compares with a 10% FQ1 service provider drop).
- Cisco still isn't modeling a rebound in service provider or emerging markets demand for several quarters, and forecasts global service provider capex will be down by a mid-single digit % in 2015. But it's more optimistic about enterprise, public sector, U.S., and EMEA demand.
- Telecom and networking equipment vendors, many of whom have been hit hard by capex pressures, are rallying following Cisco's numbers, as are a couple of component/chip suppliers. The Nasdaq is up 0.7%.
- Notable gainers include Alcatel-Lucent (ALU +4.7%), Aruba (ARUN +3.4%), Ruckus (RKUS +5.1%), Sonus (SONS +3.4%), Extreme Networks (EXTR +3.4%), Brocade (BRCD +1.9%), Adtran (ADTN +3%), Infoblox (BLOX +2.7%), Finisar (FNSR +2.1%), Cavium (CAVM +2%), Ixia (XXIA +1.9%), and Mavenir (MVNR +3.4%).
- Cisco's 18% Y/Y wireless product sales growth appears to be going over well with Aruba and Ruckus investors, and its 11% switching growth with Extreme and Brocade investors.

- Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO) guides on its FQ2 CC (webcast) for 3%-5% FQ3 revenue growth and EPS of $0.51-$0.53, in-line with a consensus of 4% growth and $0.52.
- John Chambers notes Cisco isn't modeling a rebound in emerging markets and service provider sales for several more quarters. As is the case for other enterprise tech giants, forex is acting as a headwind.
- Product orders rose 5% Y/Y in FQ2, an improvement from FQ1's 1%; book-to-bill was above 1. Americas orders +8% (U.S. +7%) and EMEA +7%, but Asia-Pac -6%, with a 19% Chinese decline more than offsetting 11% Indian growth.
- Enterprise orders +10%, with Cisco's 28 largest enterprise accounts growing over 30%. Commercial (SMBs) +8% and public sector +7%. Service provider orders fell 1%, but that's a big improvement from FQ1's 10% drop.
- Product segment performance: Switching revenue +11% to $3.62B (lifted by Nexus 3K/9K data center switch growth); routing +2% to $1.76B; collaboration +10% to $990M (improved from recent quarters); data center (UCS servers) +40% to $846M; service provider video -19% to $776M (set-top share loss); wireless +18% to $611M (Meraki sales doubled); security +6% to $416M.
- FQ2 results, dividend hike/details
Feb. 11, 2015, 4:20 PM
- Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO) uses its FQ2 report to state it's upping its quarterly dividend by $0.02 to $0.21/share; that's good for a 3.1% yield at current levels. The next dividend will be paid on April 22 to shareholders on record as of the April 2 close.
- With the help of favorable comps - sales declined sharply a year ago - product revenue rose 8% Y/Y in FQ2 to $9.08B, a marked improvement from FQ1's flat growth and driving the revenue beat. Services revenue rose 5% to $2.86B.
- Gross margin was 61.7%, down from 63.3% in FQ1 but up from 61.3% a year ago, and in-line with guidance of 61%-62%. GAAP operating expenses rose 4% to $4.47B; R&D totaled $1.53B, sales/marketing $2.31B, and G&A $490M.
- $1.2B was spent on buybacks, up from FQ1's $1B. CC at 4:30PM ET, guidance should be provided.
- CSCO +1.5% AH to $27.31.
- FQ2 results, PR.
Feb. 11, 2015, 4:07 PM

|Use Of Cationic Surfactants As Sporicidal Agents - Cationic surfactants derived from the condensation of fatty acids and esterified dibasic amino acids, such as from lauric acid and arginine, in particular the ethyl ester of the lauramide of the arginine monohydrochloride (LAE), may be used for the treatment of objects which are infected with spores. The spores may originate from bacteria or fungi.
|COMBINATIONS OF POLYENE FUNGICIDE WITH CATIONIC SURFACTANTS - A solid composition comprising a cationic surfactant, such as the ethyl ester of the lauramide of the arginine mono-hydrochloride (LAE) and a polyene fungicide such as natamycin is provided. The solid composition is the basis for providing solutions of natamycin of increased concentration. The solid composition may be used for providing a dispersion of natamycin in a suitable liquid, such as tap water or an organic solvent. The dispersion may be further diluted with water. This leads to a solution of natamycin in water. The combination of the cationic surfactant and the polyene fungicide displays a biological effect which is stronger than the effect of each of the two components alone.
|Preservative Systems Comprising Cationic Surfactants - Preservative systems on the basis of cationic surfactants are known i n the art, a typical example of such cationic surfactants is the ethyl ester of the lauramide of arginine monohydrochloride (LAE) (2). Besides the chloride form the corresponding bromide and sulphate salts are known. It was found that other salts of the cationic surfactants display excellent properties, such as the salts of lactic acid, glutamic acid and acetic acid. It was further found that the combination of the cationic surfactants with at least one salt of an organic or inorganic acid displayed an excellent preservative action. A further preservative system with favourable properties was the combination of the cationic surfactants with at least one ester compound, amide or enzyme inhibitor. Also the combination of the cationic surfactant with a further cationic molecule such as ethyl arginate, glucosamine or chitosan led to an effective preservative system. A further effective preservative system turned out to be the cationic surfactant in encapsulated form.
|New Combination Of Cationic Preservatives With Taste-Masking Components - Use of cationic surfactants, derived from the condensation of fatty acids and esterified dibasic amino acids, of the formula (1):
|Biocidal Composition For Leather Tanning - The invention relates to a concentrated solution of TCMTB for the preparation of an emulsion of TCMTB. The concentrated solution comprises (i) 2-(thiocyanomethylthio)-benzothiazole, (ii) an ester of a C

Georgia Tech locker room report
Georgia Tech coach Brian Gregory isn't sure where the notion got created that NC State was an average or below average defensive team.
The second-year coach was impressed with how the veteran Wolfpack closed out the game Wednesday to pull out an 83-70 victory at PNC Arena.

Ayahuasca ~
"I felt the call of the jungle, primal and clean. I felt my connections to the wild in every cell in my body; realized that I am among the trees, the plants, the grass, the sky. The trees know me and I am never alone. We are all one and we exist everywhere. It was like coming home to the greatest welcome back party imaginable. The love and purity of the trees surrounded and dazzled me. I went outside to lie in the grass. I needed to be there, to feel the dirt beneath my feet, the stars above my head and the wet grass in my fingers. The stars were like diamonds in a velvet black sky, their light radiating beams of positivity and love down to us all. "
Very nice!
Wow ... the colours!
Why am I hearing Disco music?
Really Trippy!

Nice to have for running
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
Bought this leash, since my pup and I do a lot of late night walks and running. It's nice to have! Has two different modes: blinking and just the standard constant light. Downside, like someone else said, the light only is half of the leash. Also, I wish the light was a lot brighter so that it was way more noticeable.
Nonetheless, good buy!
Night Time Visibility.
Great for walking a pooch at night. Lights up with a flashing light or steady light, and has a reflective strip.
Only downside is the reflective strip and lighting element only go half way down, not all the way. Paired with the Nite Ize Nite Dawg LED Light-Up Dog Collar it makes a great combination.
Does anyone have a weight on this one, not...
Does anyone have a weight on this one, not the item, but what size dog it will hold. My dog is normally very well behaved, but sometimes, the hidden rabbit gets her attention

Mark Cohoon couldn't catch a break.
First, his scheduled start was delayed a day by rain. Then it was pushed back an additional 20 minutes Sunday afternoon. And after being handed a one-run lead, he had to stop again after a 25-minute rain delay.
When he returned, the southpaw yielded consecutive home runs to Neil Medchill and Kelvin Castro.
"Anytime you get cold and have to get warm again, it's tough to be in the game," he said.
Cohoon, however, managed just fine from that moment on, allowing just one hit, Hector Rabago's bunt single, across his final 3 2/3 innings of work. Combined with Brooklyn striking for four runs in the bottom of the second, the big blow Sam Honeck's two-out opposite-field single, he picked up his first win of the year in the Cyclones' rain-shortened, 5-2 victory in 5 ½ innings over the rival Staten Island Yankees.
"Right after the second home run, I said to myself, 'Go back and throw a strike on the first pitch,'" recalled Cohoon, who allowed four hits and struck out five altogether. "They're both exceptional hitters."
The Cyclones (2-0), meanwhile, continued to excel offensively themselves. They had eight hits off starter Kelvin Perez and reliever Michael Solbach, scoring three runs with two outs, all in the second. In Friday night's opener, they scored four runs with two outs.
"Two-out hits are the key, especially when there are men on," said Honeck, whose two-run single was his first professional hit. Leadoff man John Servidio had two hits and scored twice and Luis Nieves and Nick Giarraputo each drove in a run in the second.
"They capitalized and they got hits when they needed them and they get credit for that," Staten Island manager Josh Paul said.
First-year manager Pedro Lopez used almost an identical lineup to the one that won the opener. He said he will use his entire team – "we have a 30-man roster and in order to win a championship I need all 30 of them" – but so far has leaned on veterans instead of recently drafted first-year players.
The only changes were left-fielder Alex Gregory and designated hitter Dock Doyle. Of the nine, only Gregory and Honeck are first-year pros. His reliance on established players such as Servidio and third baseman Matt Bouchard goes back to when the team was first assembled and he addressed the more experienced members of the club.
"You have to show them how we play New York Mets baseball," Lopez told them.
He couldn't have asked for a better start. He has received solid outings from his two starters. The bullpen has yet to give up a run in five innings of work. The lineup is producing, particularly in the clutch.
"This is what I was looking for," Lopez said. "It seems like the team chemistry is outstanding."
