Ericsson and STMicroelectronics agree on strategic way forward for ST-Ericsson
Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) and STMicroelectronics (NYSE:STM) today announced an agreement on the way forward for the joint venture (JV) ST-Ericsson. As communicated by the parent companies in December 2012, both have been working together toward a strategic solution for the JV. After months of intensive joint work, the parent companies have selected the strategic option which maximizes their respective future prospects and growth plans.
- Ericsson will take on the design, development and sales of the LTE multimode thin modem products, including 2G, 3G and 4G multimode
- ST will take on the existing ST-Ericsson products, other than LTE multimode thin modems, and related business as well as certain assembly and test facilities
- Starting the close down of the remaining parts of ST-Ericsson.
After the split up it is proposed that Ericsson will assume approximately 1,800 employees and contractors, with the largest concentrations in Sweden, Germany, India and China.It is also proposed that ST will assume approximately 950 employees, primarily in France and in Italy, to support ongoing business and new products development within ST.
Today, it is also announced that Carlo Ferro is appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of ST-Ericsson, effective April 1, 2013. Ferro is currently Chief Operating Officer of ST-Ericsson and succeeds Didier Lamouche who, as previously announced, will pursue opportunities outside the company. Ferro will lead the work in securing both business continuity of ST-Ericsson and effective completion of the transition phase.Hans Vestberg, President and CEO, Ericsson and Chairman of the Board of Directors,
ST-Ericsson said: "I welcome Carlo Ferro as the new President and CEO of ST-Ericsson. Carlo has over twenty years of experience in the semiconductor industry and a strong track record in driving and managing complex transformation projects. He has been a contributor to the solid progress ST-Ericsson has made the past year in terms of strategy execution and significantly lowering the breakeven point."
"In line with what we announced in December last year, we have now moved to the next step of our exit process and found a solution with Ericsson that fully aligns with our new strategy", said Carlo Bozotti, President and CEO of ST. "The agreement made with Ericsson represents a major step forward in reaching our new financial model target and allows us to further strengthen the skillsets of our company, by welcoming in ST, at completion, additional strong competences to fuel growth in specific key product areas. Moreover, it protects and leverages the ongoing ST-Ericsson's business, allowing us to reinforce our relationships with key customers, both of ST and of ST-Ericsson".With the proposed transfer of competencies from ST-Ericsson, ST will further strengthen its capabilities in the areas of application processors, RF, analog and power as well as software and complex system integration. In addition, ST-Ericsson's portfolio includes devices that are complementary to ST's focus on the fastest growing segments of the wireless semiconductor market, such as system-optimized analog mixed signal and power management devices, high-quality, low-power audio and video enhancements and innovative energy harvesting solutions.
The agreement is fully in line with ST's financial model target of an operating margin of 10 percent or more and with plans to reduce quarterly net operating expenses to an average quarterly rate in the range of $600 million to $650 million by the beginning of 2014.In addition, as a result of the agreement, ST expects to incur cash costs, including the covering of ST-Ericsson's ongoing operations during the transition period and its restructuring costs, in the range of approximately $350 million to $450 million, narrower than the range provided at the end of January 2013.

Five people escaped serious injury after a natural-gas explosion destroyed a home in the 6900 block of Sulfur Lane in Castle Rock Oct. 12. Two adjoining homes were damaged and deemed uninhabitable.
The Riley family lived in one of those homes. They are grateful that no one in either family was seriously hurt. Then the reality of "what's next" started to sink in.
There is so much structural damage to the house; they can't go home. They can't salvage anything inside because of potential contamination and an ongoing insurance investigation.
It is impossible to ignore all that is lost at the home that exploded. There is a fence around the piles of wood and metal. You can make out a bike tire and some clothes clinging to what is left of a couch cushion. The damage is catastrophic.
The loss isn't as obvious next door, but it is devastating as well.
"It's hard to see the impact to the children," Tasha Riley, mother of six, said. "It is a lot to go through."
The Riley's were so excited to move into the house in the Sapphire Pointe neighborhood. They came to Colorado from Florida to pursue Tasha's dream to go to law school. She is in her second year at the University of Denver.
Daryl, who's 5, remembers the moment the walls broke away from the framing and the window shattered onto the bed where she was sleeping.
"Our house blew up." She said.
All six children were asleep when it happened around 7 a.m. that day.
Inside the home, the damage is everywhere. But even the possessions that survived the blast are off limits. The Riley's are not allowed to take anything out of the house because of the insurance investigation.
Many things will have to be thrown out, because they are covered in glass, fiberglass, and other chemicals.
So for three weeks and counting, a family of eight has not had a dish to cook with, toys, their clothing or any other personal items from inside their home. They have been paying to stay in a hotel.
Friday, they finally moved into a rental property in Commerce City. They have a house but not one piece of furniture to put in it.
These are the struggles that exist weeks after a tragedy.
One of the hardest changes will be moving and leaving friends behind.
"Our daughter cried when she had to leave school today. It's hard to see them go through that," Tasha Riley said.
"God has kept us together and we are so thankful for that," Tony Riley, father of six, said.
The Riley's say they are thankful for the Sapphire Pointe Homeowner's Association, the Red Cross, and Sage Canyon Elementary School.

Omali Yeshitela discusses his work in 'the ongoing struggle'
By Dwight Hobbes
Staff Writer
The only thing more dangerous than the truth is someone committed to telling it with the courage of his or her convictions and without regard to politically correct protocol. That characteristic has distinguished such iconic individuals as Malcolm X, Angela Davis, Dick Gregory and Martin Luther King. While his isn't a household name, Omali Yeshitela nonetheless is to be reckoned with as a statesman of integrity and as a voice that refuses to compromise. When Yeshitela, chair of the African People's Socialist Party, relates to revolution, it's not from an armchair. He was there, sleeves rolled up, holding the front line in the 1960s Civil Rights Era throughout the thick of it all, as the U.S. saw its most momentous upheaval since the Civil War. It isn't lost on him that both of these landmarks confronted the subjugation of African America. This country bit off more than it could chew by enslaving Black people and has spent hundreds of years choking on it ever since. So, it couldn't be more fitting that Yeshitela addressed the First Annual Twin Cities Malcolm X Conference this past Saturday in North Minneapolis. There is, of course, no Malcolm X Day, despite the fact that he and Martin Luther King, Jr. fought, lived and died for the same principle of equality. White liberals look on King as a sort of kindly, non-threatening figure. Malcolm, on the other hand, scared them witless. His memory still casts a disquieting pall, lest a successor emerge. Someone like Omali Yeshitela. Continue Reading →

The Maine Public Broadcasting Network is preparing to take its public affairs programming to a new level next year with the debut of a free over-the-air television channel devoted exclusively to coverage of the Maine Legislature and government affairs. Operating under the working title of the MPBN State House Channel, the new venture awaits final funding approval by the MPBN board of trustees and the expressed support of legislative leadership. Ajay Higgins reports.
Although initially, MPBN's new State House channel would not have the variety of programming that cable television viewers have come to associate with C-SPAN, it could in time grow to become a homegrown state version of that national network -- a sort of MESPAN.
Mark Vogelzang is the chief executive officer of MPBN. He says the new channel is the next logical progression for public affairs programming in Maine.
"If you think about it, on cable television we can see our own local town council, or school board meetings on local access," Vogelzang says. "We can also turn and watch C-Span nationally and see what happens to the U.S. Congress. But we don't have that statewide here in Maine - the ability to turn on the television and watch what's happening in the State House in Augusta, and from my perspective that's real transparency in government. It's something that's bipartisan and it's something - I think - an idea whose time has come."
Vogelzang's MESPAN proposal still requires final approval of the Democratically-controlled, 10-member Legislative Council, and funding approval from MPBN's board of trustees. The pilot program would require the network to prepare a budget of between $250,000 to $300,000 dollars.
"The trustees need to meet to review the budget," Vogelzang said. "It's an expensive project and it's being underwritten by MPBN. No state funds are being used for this. So it's an important project that needs to be fully reviewed and vetted with budgets and expenses that the board of trustees would normally review."
The new State House programming would air MPBN digital channel 10-4, and would be available on many of the state's cable television systems. Vogelzang says that while live coverage of the Legislature can currently be viewed over the Internet on the Legislature's Web site, MPBN's broadcasts will bring State House coverage to a greater number of people.
"I think a State House channel fits very nicely into the needs of the government to have its actions available to a wide swarth of the population on free over-the-air television," Vogelzang says. "And it also fits with MPBN's long-range goals and continuing goals of providing journalism and news and information from all of our content. So we're using the digital television channels that we already have to provide greater free public access."
"This is transparency - this is providing a window onto state government that doesn't exist right now," says Mal Leary, the owner and sole proprietor of Capitol News Service, which provides State House news to newpapers and radio stations - including MPBN.
Leary will oversee the operations of MPBN's new State House channel as it begins programming of the House, Senate and Appropriations Committee as well as selected coverage of important bills in other legislative committees.
"Start off with the House in the morning when they're in session, tape the Senate and provide all the Senate session to folks, go to the Appropriations hearing room, let's say, and have the budget hearing being broadcast, and then another hearing of interest, or a news conference of interest, or more than one news conference so that folks will be able to watch on their television what's going on," Leary says.
The issue has yet to reach legislative council, but based on what he's heard, Senate President Justin Alfond says he's intrigued by the proposal.
"I think it's essential for the people of Maine to know what their representatives and senators are doing up here at the State House, so every time we can give them more opportunities to look into the State House and see what we're doing, it's a great thing," Alfond says.
Republican leaders have also expressed support for the proposal, as has Maine Gov. Paul LePage, who despite efforts to eliminate MPBN's budget two years ago, is squarely behind this proposal, according to spokeswoman Adrienne Bennett.
"I think anytime you incorporate transparency into government, it's a win-win situation for Mainers, and that's why the governor supports this," Bennett says. "The more Mainers can see what's going on in Augusta, the capitol, the better," Bennett says.
MPBN CEO Mark Vogelzang says he hopes to receive all final approvals for the project by mid-January.

How to Keep Boundaries with a "Work Spouse"
"The work spouse" is a popular term cropping up to define a platonic relationship with a co-worker. This type of relationship is on the rise, as American's work longer hours in close quarters with the opposite sex. In many ways, these relationships can mirror a real marriage. According to Vault.com, out of 693 people surveyed in a variety of industries, 32 percent say they have, or have had, a work spouse. Should you commit? What you should know before you say "I do" at work.
These relationships start out due to proximity, but oftentimes they continue for a variety of reasons, from providing an emotional support system during challenging times, to bouncing off work ideas, getting advice, releasing work-related stress, sharing inside jokes and understanding frustrations with a boss or internal politics. Research even shows that employees will devote more to their work, and go the extra mile, if they have close ties on the job. Work spouses will also complement one other in skill and ability in the workplace, making a successful and productive team. Although these relationships aren't intimate, there is an intimacy, and a thin line, that when crossed, can go from friendship to adultery.
"How do affairs start?" Williard F. Harley Jr. PhD, president of Marriage Builders asks. "They start as friendships."
So, is it worth it? And, how do you avoid crossing that line from friends to the unforgivable? Like anything, there has to be rules:
- A healthy work spouse situation is between people who would never let their friendship venture in to an inappropriate space, and understand that fine line.
- Don't share personal information about yourself at work, especially private details of your marriage. If someone does share personal information with you, tell your spouse so you don't create a secret world your spouse is not aware of.
- Be upfront and honest about the closeness and bond of your real-life relationship.
- Don't be alone with a person of the opposite sex separate from your job. Romantic relationships come out of recreational activities and intimate conversations.
- Don't drink with your work spouse. When you drink, boundaries get blurred.
- Introduce your real spouse to your office spouse, so it isn't exclusive.
- Avoid constantly talking about your office spouse at home. Don't overdo it.
- Aim to keep the mood light and happy with your work spouse so that drama from home doesn't bleed in to what should be a professional relationship.
- Keep the lines of communication open between other co-workers and your real-life spouse so that your work spouse relationship is not interpreted as a clique, or exclusive.

Refrigerated Display Case
If your establishment is going to sell bottled or canned beverages, a refrigerated display case will be a key piece of equipment. Working similarly in operation to a reach-in, these models have glass doors for easy visibility of interior contents. They also typically have more stylish exteriors with space on top to put a banner indicating what type of beverage or food can be found inside. Many different sizes of display cooler are available, including models up to 72 wide. Besides regular merchandiser units, two specialty types are also offered. Countertop models are much smaller and only store a handful of items. These are perfect for convenience stores that are looking for a unit mounted near the check-out line. Pass-thru models have two doors and typically have glass on all four sides. These units are a good fit to display foods such as bakery items. More

America's Least Popular VampireWritten by Jordana Fyne
Dead and blood thirsty are all the rage in Hollywood, and America is more than willing to spend $10 a ticket to watch the gorefest (or smoochfest, depending on the vampire movie). But what if this vampire costs you around $100 a year and stalks your home? Vampire energy, AKA standby power, is the phenomenon where electronics suck energy even when they're turned off. By leaving gadgets like your computer, television or even electric toothbrush plugged into the wall, they're still leaching power and represent 5-10 percent of an average home's power usage, or 1 percent of our global carbon dioxide emissions, according to a GOOD Magazine report. The top power wasters in most homes are cell phones, digital cameras and music players, power tools and other electronic devices. Rather than anointing your laptop with garlic, the best way to avoid vampire energy is by using a power strip. All electronics can remain plugged in and when you turn them off and flip the power strip switch, you know they're really off. There's no reason not to get a power strip—saving on energy and on your utility bill is just practical. Check out Carbonfund.org partner Ecostrip's site for more information and purchasing options.

Testicular Ultrasound
Test Overview
A testicular ultrasound (sonogram) is a test that uses reflected sound waves to produce a picture of the testicles and scrotum. An ultrasound can show the long, tightly coiled tube that lies behind each testicle and collects sperm (epididymis) and the tube (vas deferens) that connects the testicles to the prostate gland. The ultrasound does not use X-rays or other types of radiation.
A small handheld instrument called a transducer is passed back and forth over the scrotum. The transducer sends the sound waves to the computer, which converts them into a picture that is displayed on a video monitor. The picture produced by ultrasound is called a sonogram, echogram, or scan. Pictures or videos of the ultrasound images may be saved as a permanent record.
Why It Is Done
Testicular ultrasound is done to:
- Evaluate a mass or pain in the testicles.
- Identify and monitor infection or inflammation of the testicles or epididymis.
- Identify twisting of the spermatic cord cutting off blood supply to the testicles (testicular torsion).
- Monitor for recurrence of testicular cancer.
- Locate an undescended testicle.
- Identify fluid in the scrotum (hydrocele), fluid in the epididymis (spermatocele), blood in the scrotum (hematocele), or pus in the scrotum (pyocele).
- Guide a biopsy needle for testicular biopsy when testing for infertility.
- Evaluate an injury to the genital area.
How To Prepare
No special preparation is needed for a testicular ultrasound.
If you are having a biopsy or another test during the ultrasound, you may need to sign a consent form.
Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have regarding the need for the test, its risks, how it will be done, or what the results will mean. To help you understand the importance of this test, fill out the medical test information form(What is a PDF document?).
How It Is Done
A testicular ultrasound is usually done by an ultrasound technologist. It is done in an ultrasound room in a doctor's office or hospital.
You will need to remove all your clothes from the waist down and put on a gown before the test. You will be asked to lie on your back on a padded examination table. Folded towels will be used to cover the penis and lift the scrotum. A gel (such as K-Y Jelly) will be spread on your scrotum for the transducer. The transducer is pressed against your skin and moved across your scrotum many times.
You will need to lie very still during the ultrasound scan. You may be asked to take a breath and hold it for several seconds during the scanning. Testicular ultrasound takes about 20 minutes.
When the test is finished, the gel is removed from your skin. You may be asked to wait until the radiologist has reviewed the information. The radiologist may want to do more ultrasound views.
How It Feels
The gel may feel cold when it is applied to your scrotum unless it is first warmed to body temperature. You will feel light pressure from the transducer as it passes over your scrotum. If the ultrasound test is being done to determine the extent of damage from a recent injury or to investigate testicular pain, the slight pressure of the transducer may be somewhat painful. You will not hear the sound waves.
If a biopsy is done during the ultrasound, you may experience slight discomfort when the sample is obtained.
There are no known risks associated with a testicular ultrasound test.
A testicular ultrasound (sonogram) is a test that uses reflected sound waves to produce a picture of the testicles and scrotum.
The testicles are normal in shape and size and are in the normal position.
There is no evidence of a noncancerous (benign) or cancerous (malignant) lump in the testicles.
There is no evidence of infection or inflammation of the testicles or epididymitis.
There is no twisting of the spermatic cord, cutting off blood supply to the testicles (testicular torsion).
There is no sign of fluid in the scrotum (hydrocele), blood in the scrotum (hematocele), fluid in the epididymis (spermatocele), or pus in the scrotum (pyocele).
A lump is present in the testicle or there are signs of a recurrent testicular cancer.
Signs of infection or inflammation of the testicles or epididymis is present.
The spermatic cord is twisted, cutting off blood supply to the testicles (testicular torsion).
None or only one testicle is present in the scrotal sac.
Fluid (hydrocele), blood (hematocele), or pus (pyocele) is present in the scrotum or fluid is present in the epididymis (spermatocele).
There is a hernia in the scrotum.
What Affects the Test
Reasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:
- Not being able to remain still during the test.
- Having an open sore or wound in the area that needs to be viewed.
What To Think About
- Testicular ultrasound is usually done to evaluate a mass or pain in the testicles for possible cancer. Young men with a testicular mass or pain should be evaluated immediately by a doctor. Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in young men.
- With testicular
ultrasound, your doctor can usually tell the difference between a fluid-filled
cyst, a solid lump, or another type of mass.
- A fluid-filled mass that has a symmetrical shape and does not have particles floating in it is likely to be a cyst or a hydrocele.
- A mass that does not have fluid, one that has fluid with floating particles (atypical cyst), or one that is larger than expected needs further evaluation. Often a follow-up ultrasound is done in 6 to 8 weeks to allow time for the mass to go away on its own.
- If a solid lump or an atypical cyst is present and a testicular ultrasound cannot determine whether it is cancer, a biopsy may be recommended.

- Anivia was designed by Brackhar.
- Anivia is one of only three champions to have had her in-game voice changed twice. The others are Ashe and Katarina.
- The name Anivia is derived from Latin niveus/nivea/niveum, meaning "Snow White".
- "Cryophoenix" is derived from two words: "Cryo" and "Phoenix". Cryo from the Greek word cryos meaning "cold", while the "phoenix" is a mythic creature with the power to reincarnate itself from its own ashes; the classic phoenix being a birdlike creature that is partially on fire.
- General
- Anivia's dance is the Chicken Dance. A side-by-side comparison can be seen here.
- The quote at the end of Anivia's lore alludes to the Robert Frost poem Fire and Ice.
- Anivia is the first non-humanoid champion that is female, the second is Rek'Sai. ( Elise, Shyvana and Nidalee have human forms).
- Anivia's Q resembles the very first Nexus Crystal, as stated by FeralPony.
- Anivia is currently one of five champions with a difficulty rating of 10, the others being Cassiopeia, Evelynn, Rumble, and Yasuo. However, Anivia was not originally given the 100 difficulty rating.
- In addition, Anivia has an ability rating of 10, making her the only champion with two 100 ratings
- Quotes
- She shares a quote with Traditional Sejuani; "To the bitter end".
- Her quote "The abyss speaks through me." is similar to Karma's quote "Ionia speaks through me."
- Her quote "I hear whispers beneath the ice." is likely referencing the Frozen Watchers.
- It is a reference to the 2010 Winter games.
- Her body is white and her wings are the color of Blue and Red, like the French flag, but the skin can be a reference to any Red, White, and Blue flag.
- She is designed after a Bald Eagle.
- She is holding a in one of her talons.
- She bears a striking resemblance to Clockwerk from the Sly Cooper video game series.
- She shares this theme with Annie, Galio, Janna, Singed, and Sion.
- The theme behind Anivia's legendary Blackfrost skin is one of the possible outcomes of the upcoming Freljord War. In this alternative future, Anivia failed to defeat the evil that was corrupting the ice and Anivia succumbed to its poison.
- She bears strong resemblance to the demon Black Frost from the Shin Megami Tensei series, as he is the darkened variant of the snow fairy Jack Frost and also shares the purple and black colors of this skin.[1]
- It is a celebratory skin for the premiere of Jurassic World.
- This skin was inspired by Pterosaurs.
- She shares this theme with Cho'Gath and Renekton.
- Anivia has formed a close friendship with a few League champions: Nunu and his yeti, Willump, as well as Ashe, the Queen of Freljord.
- From the Journal of Justice, Anivia can be seen attending Ashe and Tryndamere's coronation as Freljord's new Queen and King.
- Anivia has a nest on the northern slopes of Ironspike Mountains.
- Greyor mentioned about a sacrifice Anivia had made. She had probably died during the War of the Howling Abyss.
- Anivia was the one that froze Gnar in true ice to preserve him for the upcoming Watchers return.[2]

From Rugby To Roussillon
From Rugby To Roussillon
Gerard Bertrand awarded Wine Enthusiast's "European Winery of the Year"
Good looks. A wine legacy. And the Mediterranean lifestyle.
For more than two decades, internationally acclaimed winemaker Gerard Bertrand has embodied the winemaking culture of his native southern France.
So it's no surprise that Wine Enthusiast magazine awarded him "European Winery of the Year" during its annual Wine Star Awards. Bertrand, a former professional rugby player, owns five estates in Languedoc-Roussillon with more than 900 acres dedicated to carbon-neutral, organic and sustainable vineyards.
His portfolio features the full range of wines from the region, from racy rosés and peppery red blends to cremant bruts and well-balanced cabernet sauvignon. In addition to an inviting hotel and restaurant, his flagship property, Chateau L'Hospitalet, is a destination for Mediterranean culture, showcasing music festivals, local food, and truffle hunts throughout the year.
According to Wine Enthusiast, Bertrand, who began his wine training at age 10 alongside his father, the legendary Georges Bertrand, earned the prestigious award because he is dedicated to elegant, sustainably-made wines that are affordable and also engage the millennial generation.
For that, we thank you, Gerard.

Winter Weather Emergencies
On any given day, we could have 20,000 students, faculty, staff, auxiliary personnel, and visitors traveling to and from the Wright State University Dayton and Lake campuses. Plans and procedures have been developed to address cancellations and closures due to existing or anticipated severe winter weather conditions. Please review the following pages for more information about Winter Weather Emergencies at Wright State and how you can prepare for the next severe winter storm.
Cancellations and Closures
Normally, snow or low temperatures are not reasons to close the university, but significant amounts of snow might warrant a delay in opening the Dayton and/or Lake campuses. Blizzard conditions or snow combined with severe wind chills may warrant closing the Dayton and/or Lake campuses. Severe winter weather conditions may result in classes being cancelled, a campus closure, or a delay opening of the Dayton and/or the Lake campuses. Additional information →
Alerts and Notifications
Wright State Alert!, Wright State's emergency notification system, offers multiple channels for alerting you to cancellations and closures due to severe winter weather. You can also sign up to receive alert text and/or voice messages. Additional information →
Personal Preparedness for Winter Weather
Getting to and from campus during severe winter conditions can be challenging. The safest choice is to avoid traveling until the threat has passed. If you don't have that option, or if you simply choose to travel despite the winter weather, learn more about current winter storm conditions and related safety rules. Additional information →

Now, I have to agree with songz. The game isn't worth the hassle of anticipating the launch.
It is in fact the disappointment of 2013.
I know what everyone is going to say, ITS NOT AS BAD AS YOU EVERYONE SAYS.
Well we never said it was bad, we said it didn't live up to expectations. Now even if you argue our expectations were just too high, well the expectations didn't come out of thin air. It came from it's predecessor. The game is average, and doesn't deserve to be marketed as anything more. There are just way too many mmos out there, that are much better then RO2 to say it's worth playing.

The event was a chance for the school and the team to thank the fans and boosters for their support through the season.
Star shortstop and pitcher Josh VanMeter's last night in the Norwell gym will be followed by his Monday departure for Arizona and the San Diego Padres rookie camp.

I really like it. The hand drawn lines look fine to me (learning software is always a good thing, but hardly necessary for this map).
The border isn't quite right. The punched holes at the top seem out of place and I can't quite tell if it is indented to be a tattered edge (in which case there are too many shreds that are unattached but still in place) or a rough painted outline. The 'watermark' in the lower right, takes away from the rest of the map. I would move the copyright to the lower left or right corner (and perhaps match one of the title box fonts).
But I really love the color 'contours' - well done.
I wonder if they could be blended together with a softer transition.
Have some rep.

This is a good but overpriced water-soluble cleanser for all skin types except sensitive. The amount of fragrance and fragrant plant extracts is potentially troublesome for skin, but their impact on skin is negligible because a cleanser is quickly rinsed. Still, there are lots of fragrance-free cleansers from other lines (including from Paula's Choice, Neutrogena, and Olay) that cost far less and do not expose your skin to fragrance. What pleases your nose isn't what pleases your skin! By the way, the sea extracts and algae have zero ability to cleanse your skin, or provide any benefit in a cleanser
This water-light cleanser gently washes away impurities while replenishing vital moisture with provitamin B, moisturizing marine botanicals and Sea Mineral Complex.
Aqua/Water/Eau, Decyl Glucoside, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Sodium Polyaspartate, Sodium Cocoyl Apple Amino Acids, , Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate, Phenoxyethanol, Disodium EDTA, Parfum/Fragrance, Allantoin, Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate, Butylene Glycol, Hexylene Glycol, Citric Acid, Maris Sal/Sea Salt, Magnesium Nitrate, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Extract, Coriandrum Sativum (Coriander) Fruit Extract, Phospholipids, Magnesium Chloride, Tocopheryl Acetate, Undaria Pinnatifida Extract, Crithmum Maritimum Extract, Ulva Lactuca Extract, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Retinyl Palmitate, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Methylparaben, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Linalool
H20+ At-A-Glance
Strengths: Some good cleansers and makeup removers; an excellent, value-size hand cream; foot cream that exfoliates; some good shampoos and conditioners.
Weaknesses: Overly expensive; seaweed, algae, and other marine extracts do not have nearly the research behind them as do countless other beneficial ingredients; too many products packaged in jars, thus allowing the good, and unstable, ingredients to degrade; the Face Oasis moisturizers are ordinary and overhyped; uses blue synthetic coloring agents to create the "from the sea" impression; most of the products contain more fragrance than state-of-the-art ingredients; for a line this size, the number of SPF-rated products is paltry, offering minimal options for different skin types and concerns; irritating anti-acne products that will make oily skin worse; no skin-lightening options; irritating clay masks that can make oily skin worse; overly fragrant body washes.
H2O+ is a boutique line that's been on the scene since 1989. The brand has had its ups and downs over the years, and, like many natural-themed boutique brands, has lost much of its retail distribution and cachet due to their own overzealous expansion and the boom in other natural product lines. Now H2O+ is back, but not with the same widespread availability they enjoyed during their heyday. Previously, there were lots of H2O+ stores in malls throughout the United States; today the brand has only a handful of stores in only a few states. Other than the stores, the line is haphazardly distributed in various department stores and retail locations, such as Ulta. The trouble is that these other locations do not stock the complete H2O+ line, so it's hit-or-miss that you'll find the specific H2O+ product you're looking for. This was not an easy line for the Cosmetics Cop Team to compile.
As you might have guessed from the name, H2O+ is all about water. Specifically, they want you to think that seawater contains essential elements that your skin must have to get rid of everything, from wrinkles to acne. As a result, the majority of H2O+ products contain various types of seaweed, algae, and a mishmash of other marine plants. What H2O+ fails to provide is proof (meaning research) showing that these marine plants and marine creatures are the answer to your skin-care concerns.
What is known is that most plant extracts, from the sea or the land, provide antioxidant properties, and that's great. But, the plants that live in water hold no special advantage in a skin-care product.
As an aside, certain types of algae such as Corallina pilulifera have properties that can help collagen from breaking down in the presence of sunlight. To that end, certain types of algae could be described as anti-aging, but this is true for lots of plant extracts, not only for the marine variety. By the way, despite this research, H2O+ products do not contain Coralline piluifera (Sources: Marine Drugs, March 2010, pages 1189–1202; Experimental Dermatology, September 2008, pages 771–779; and Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry, February 2002, pages 840–845).
Keep in mind that the exotic identities and seaworthy origins do not make algae and other marine extracts better or more significant for skin than other ingredients from other sources that can provide the same, or, in many cases, more significant, benefits.
What you'll find is that H2O+ skin-care products are far more about fragrance and spa allure than about the beneficial ingredients skin needs to defend itself against environmental damage and be able to resist signs of aging. Sea plants may indeed hold some exciting advances for skin, but the manner in which H2O+ uses them isn't likely to net you great results. Instead, they use the same cosmetic ingredients most other brands do to create silky, elegant textures. These ingredients definitely count toward a product's appeal and performance, but they're best for your skin when they're interwoven with other essentials—and that's where H2O+ often falls short. This line's biggest obstacle is its love of fragrance over ingredients such as antioxidants, skin-identical substances, and ingredients that help damaged cells make healthier cells (the kind that act younger so you'll look younger).
The high points include the cleansers and makeup removers along with a smattering of odds and ends that are worth considering if you happen to come across them in the store; otherwise, there is nothing here you must seek out. The most important thing to keep in mind is that H2O+ doesn't have a range of products to address various skin types and concerns. Fragrance isn't skin care, yet this is the very thing H2O+ uses more than anything else.

|Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant for Hematological Cancers and Myelodysplastic Syndromes in HIV-Infected Individuals (BMT CTN #0903)
- Non-Relapse Mortality [ Time Frame: 100 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]The events for non-relapse mortality are death due to any cause other than relapse of the underlying malignancy
- Disease Status Following Transplant [ Time Frame: 100 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Patients will be assessed for disease status at Day 100 post-HCT: complete remission, partial remission (HL, NHL), stable disease (HL, NHL), relapse.
- Chimerism [ Time Frame: 4 weeks, 100 days and 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Blood samples will be evaluated for T cell and myeloid chimerism at 4 weeks, 100 days and 6 months post-transplant.
- Incidence of Infections [ Time Frame: Date of transplant through one year post-transplant ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Microbiologically documented infections will be reported by site of disease, date of onset, severity, and resolution, if any.
- Six Month Overall Survival [ Time Frame: Six months post transplant ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Overall survival is defined as time from transplant to death or last follow-up.
- Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease (GVHD) [ Time Frame: 100 Days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Acute GVHD will be graded according to the BMT CTN Manual of Procedures. The time to onset of acute grades II-IV GVHD and grades III-IV GVHD will be recorded, as well as the maximum grade achieved.
- Chronic Graft-versus-Host Disease (GVHD) [ Time Frame: 100 days, 6 months, 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Chronic GVHD will be scored according to the BMT CTN Manual of Procedures. The time to onset of limited and extensive chronic GVHD will be recorded.
- Immunologic Reconstitution [ Time Frame: 8 Weeks; 6, 12 and 24 Months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]This will be measured in all patients at 8 weeks, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months post-transplant. Tests to be performed on peripheral blood at those time points include CD2, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD19, CD3+/CD25+, CD45 RA/RO, CD56+/CD3-, and quantitative immunoglobulins (IgM, IgG and IgA).
- Impact of Therapy on the HIV Reservoir [ Time Frame: Day 100, 6 Months, 12 Months, and 24 Months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]HIV-1 RNA in plasma will be measured by standard real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) (detection limit 40 copies/ml) and by the investigational single copy assay (SCA, detection limit 0.38 copy/ml). HIV-1 DNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and other cells will be quantified using the same primers and probes used for SCA but without a reverse transcription step. HIV-1 RNA levels will be measured in plasma prior to the initiation of ablative chemotherapy, and at Day +100, 1 and 2 years post-transplant.
- Hematologic Function [ Time Frame: Day 100, 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Hematologic function will be defined by absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater than 1500, Hemoglobin greater than 10g/dL without transfusion support, and platelets greater than 100,000 and measured at Day 100 and 6 months. Use of growth factors will be noted.

Went out with my cousin and a friend of his today.
We got out of the inlet with lines in the water by 5:45PM.
First spot, no current.
Second spot, no current but we decided to try and wait it out. A short while later the current started smoking to the North and the yellowtails were behind the boat pretty thick.
I passed on the yellowtail rod to my cousin and proceeded to try and get a mutton. A few minutes into soaking my bait on the bottom I get crushed and up comes a 12-13lb mutton.
Back home by 10PM and #WINNING
Tight lines out there, catch em up!

Girls Just Want to Have Fun
This American Muslim won't wear a head cover but will wear tight jeans. Modesty, she says, comes from within.
Asma Gull Hasan, 31, is a lawyer in San Francisco, an author, and a speaker. She's also a self-described "Muslim Feminist Cowgirl" who grew up in Colorado and went to prep school on the East Coast. The daughter of Pakistani immigrants and born in Chicago, she considers herself an all-American girl. Hasan, who writes often for Beliefnet, discusses her book, "Why I Am a Muslim."
Why do you call yourself a feminist?
Muhammad was a feminist. He stood for equal rights for women. To many people, feminist means something negative. And so when I am called a feminist, they think that's derogatory--but by feminism, I mean equal rights for men and women.
When I was at the Islamic Society of North America convention last year selling my first book, there were a lot of women who wanted to buy the book. Many of them wore the head cover, and it wasn't an issue to them that I don't. But there were also young, traditional men and some older traditional men--they were a minority for sure--but they would come up and say, "Why aren't you wearing a cover? And how can you expect me to buy a book when there's a picture of you on the front and you're not wearing a cover?" And I would say, "Look, you don't have to buy the book." Meanwhile, a rumor got spread around that on a certain page of my book I wrote that the head cover is not required. So throughout the convention, young men would come up in groups of two or three and pick up the book and go right to this one page. Don't they have something better to do then to be skulking around the ISNA bazaar and gossiping to each other, "Oh my God. That author says the hijab is not required"?
Are most Muslim women covered in America?
No. Most Muslim women are not covered. I was doing an interview about hijab and the head scarf on CNN once, and they said that about 10 percent of Muslim women in America wear the head cover. I have no idea where they got that number. But based on what I've seen, I would say that statistic is pretty accurate.

Elia Caliendo jacket
13 July 2012
Pictured at the MTBA party last week, this is the finished jacket from Neapolitan tailor Elia Caliendo. Readers of The Rake online will have read previous posts on Elia, looking at both the man himself and an analysis of the inside of the jacket.
Although not as well as known as some of the Neapolitans, he is up there with the best in my relatively limited experience (visited perhaps a dozen, jackets from three). The fit is spot on, the experience was easy and the work inside is sumptuous. Although much of this is a matter of taste (and how much you want to spend on impractical details), it is always interesting to see how impressed English cutters are with internal finishing. The Cifonelli double breasted was another example.
The Caliendo jacket is quarter lined, with the jacket cloth at the front and a little silk across the back. I like the double stitching around the edges, but only because it is subtle, being an almost identical colour to the cloth. Contrast stitching I don't like.
Elia, the son of founder Biagi Caliendo, is a little cheaper than other Neapolitans at £2800, but there are certainly cheaper tailors there too. My favourite shot from the visit is below – of one of the tailors working on a basted jacket outside a side door at the atelier. If only I could find an excuse to go back.

There are a number of idents, both users and groups. All ident names have a MIMER_ prefix and group idents have a _GROUP suffix to aid with their identification.
The user ident MIMER_ADM can be thought of as an administrator, which is the reason why the user has been given the system privilege to create new idents and tables. Access and object privileges are not granted directly to the user but inherited through membership of MIMER_ADMIN_GROUP. This group of idents has a high level of privileges to manipulate the database tables and views but they do not have total uncontrolled access, only the MIMER_STORE ident has that. It should be possible to perform a lot of the course work from the MIMER_ADM ident.
The user MIMER_USR is granted membership of the MIMER_STORE_GROUP. As can be seen it is possible to grant a group membership of another group; in this case, the members of the MIMER_ADMIN_GROUP (now and in the future) are automatically granted whatever privileges are allocated to MIMER_STORE_GROUP. So when the execute privilege on the PSM procedure COMING_SOON is allocated to MIMER_STORE_GROUP it is automatically also granted to the members of MIMER_ADMIN_GROUP, which includes the user MIMER_ADM.

A fishing license is the perfect stocking stuffer
Whether you used it doesn't matter. All 2010 fishing licenses expire at midnight Dec. 31.
It's been a tradition for many years in our family to include a fishing license as a stocking stuffer for Christmas. On Jan. 1, any fishing activity will require that new license.
Major retail outlets and sporting goods stores will have the 2011 fishing license, related stamps and cards to set you up for the year. Or, if you happen to be near the Department of Fish and Game's license and revenue office at 1740 North Market Blvd., in the north Natomas area of Sacramento, you can save the small mark-up afforded to retailers. Some costs this year include:
• Basic resident sport fishing license: $43.46
• Second rod stamp: $13.53
• Abalone Report Card: $20.78
• Sturgeon Fishing Report Card: Free
• Steelhead Report Card: $6.48
Do you have friends or relatives coming from out of state to visit and want to take them fishing? You don't have to buy a full license. A one-day license will cost $14.04, a two-day license $21.86 and a 10-day nonresident license $43.46.
The cost of a license and related fees are pricey but are among the most welcomed gifts to any angler.
Report cards due soon
You are required to have a Sturgeon Report Card whether or not you went sturgeon fishing in 2010. Even if you caught and released a sturgeon, you were required to record that catch.
It's also required that the report card, used or not, be mailed back to the DF&G by Jan. 31. If you didn't go, write "none" on the card and mail it.
The 2010 Sturgeon Report Card expires Dec. 31, and the 2011 replacement is again free. The address is at the bottom of the backside of the report card. Mail it today if you aren't going to go before the end of the year.
Current fishing
The high country is pretty much off limits for now. Snow inhibits much of the access, and lakes aren't frozen over to allow access for ice fishing.
A how-to for ice fishing was postponed this week until the high-elevation lakes allow the activity. But, you don't have to head for the high country to get into great rod-bending activity. With the cooler temperature and upcoming holidays, few anglers are venturing far from home. And you can do well in a quick and dirty close trip.
Salmon: The American River is closed to salmon fishing, and when it was open, anglers didn't fare well. On the good news front, the hatchery has taken in a lot of salmon, which means the fish were there, just unwilling to chomp down on trolled lures.
The American River Hatchery at Nimbus, the Feather River Hatchery and the Coleman Hatchery in the upper Sacramento River area report healthy runs of salmon captured for artificial spawning.
Whether the ocean salmon fishing drought is over remains to be seen, but there appears to be an upswing in salmon populations again.
Folsom Lake: Bassing is a challenge. Slow cruise and watch your scope to locate a school of bait fish, then shut down and start fishing. Most of the bass are hanging in 20 to 25 feet, where you can spoon or drop-shot to get bit. Robo worms in salt and pepper have worked.
No limits, but there's a king salmon or two to be had from around the dam and Dyke 8. Haul a crawler or lures such as a Speedy Shiner or Needlefish.
Camp Far West: It's OK for a boat ride but not fishing. The lake has come up nicely, which has muddied the water. Fishing has slowed to less than a crawl.
Rollins Lake: The lake is full to the point it's going over the spillway. Not much action for shore-bound triers, though. With a boat, head up into the Bear River inlet area and troll for trout, which have hit more than two pounds.
Eagle Lake: Can't make it up before the Dec. 31 closure? It might be too late. Ice is forming on the lake so the only real fishing is by those on shore.
Suisun Bay: The rains have had an impact on the sturgeon fishery. It's usually OK to good this time of year. This year, it's all but red-hot. Great action is being found all around the bay waters. One party boat tallied a dozen keeper diamondbacks in one day. The usual shrimp baits along with eel and roe are working.
Delta Region: There's downright good striper fishing in the Lower Sacramento River region. Baits generally are outfishing lures. The mouth of the Deepwater Channel, the Power Lines below Rio Vista and around Liberty Island are producing well. Don't want to travel that far? Try the Courtland and Freeport areas. Limits are being taken on baits here, too.
