Hi all!
I went to the institute today to deposit the fees for PGDM.The process is the same as described by Anysh.30 waitlised students have been called for PGDM.
I was curious to know the number of vacant seats.I got to know that there are 12 seats remaining in PGDM.Since any institute will take 10-15% more students than the required students to insure against withdrawal,the issuance of a 2'nd waitlist call for candidates depends upon how many of the current waitlisted students decide to take up admisiion. As far as today is concerned only one other student turned up for admission.

So today I ventured out to eat for lunch, a first since DF. We went to my FAVORITE place for lunch. I knew they had vegan stuff so I assumed it was safe. So I order a tofu sandwich off the menu and a vegan cookie. Everything is fine till I BF a couple hours later. An hour after that Caleb is SCREAMING, worse than ever. He eventually calms down. I BF 3 hours later, he's screaming again within 30min-1hr. So my question is this, do you think there was milk somewhere in there, or am I looking at a new allergy (soy?), or is he just screaming for some other reason? I have had soy milk and soy in prepared foods with no real problem that I can tell. But maybe the tofu was just too much?
I need your opinion!!!

I voted hidden milk...cuz I really don't know what I'm talking about and hoping that you're not looking at a new allergy! If I were you, I would go back to the place where you ate today and ask them for a list of ingredients of everything you ate. If there's no hidden milk, then maybe the tofu was just too much.
I eat soy in all sorts of things, but when I tried to do soy milk it was too much for my DD...
I would say milk cross contamintation more than "hidden milk". But you may be looking at a developing soy allergy. I would start a food journal today. Keep track of what you eat, when you feed LO and how he acts.

Life-Cycle Assessment for Dummies? New LCA Guides Available
Two new resources explain the strengths and limitations of life-cycle assessments for practitioners and the general pubic.
By Candace Pearson
Two free resources are now available to help demystify life-cycle assessment (LCA) for different audiences.
The "Athena Guide to Whole-Building LCA in Green Building Programs" is intended to help designers understand LCA provisions across various rating systems and codes—LEED v4, Green Globes, general federal compliance for new construction, the 2012 International Green Construction Code (IgCC), and the 2010 CALGreen building code—as well as to give direction on how to incorporate LCA into the design process. The report provides details on the inner workings of the Athena Impact Estimator, explains how to build a reference design, and shows what inputs to include in a whole-building LCA.
A second report, which is authored by the Sustainable Materials Management Coalition, offers advice for governments and businesses that may be seeking to use LCA to buy more environmentally friendly products. "Guidance on Life-Cycle Thinking and Its Role in Environmental Decision Making," explains life-cycle thinking and provides examples of how LCAs can be used appropriately and how poorly chosen boundaries for this type of assessment can lead to misleading results (see "Whole-Building Life-cycle Assessment: Taking the Measure of a Green Building" and "The Product Transparency Movement: Peeking Behind the Corporate Veil").
While both reports emphasize LCA's potential to bring to light the environmental impact that materials, products, or whole buildings may have, they also remind readers that LCA should be viewed as a limited estimating tool. The Athena report states, "LCA addresses only some of the environmental impacts of interest in a sustainability agenda" and forewarns that "it is a predictive science with uncertainities and data gaps."
As EBN has noted previously, other impacts need to be measured with other tools, such as certifications that gauge social equity or worker and occupant health.

Yeah, I ended up giving away my old ocs Nova and Aim and the people don't even use them ; u ; like, those were my babes man and you're not even treating them right ; - ;
They're like my legit pets.
Just because some people don't draw them often enough doesn't mean they don't love or use them. I hardly draw mine because i been very sick lately but none the less doe not mean I do not rp or love them!
Yes...but I don't see what this has to do with you being sick, however, I am very sorry to hear that you are ill.
Non the less, I used to keep an eye on them for about a few weeks, and during that time it seems as if they jsut set aside the character. I'm not saying everyone does that. I mean, in ym icon is an OC I adopted a week ago and she's my new fursona (: Sometimes people do care about them. hehe
i loved those two chars /w\
heh, I know, so did I. I just couldn't keep track of them and hoped someone would be able to give them a home but I was sadly incorrect.

Good Evening,
I am 18 weeks pregnant with identical twin girls. Third and Fourth child at 35 years old. I was told that my girls have unilateral choroid plexus cysts (1 each) and slightly dilated kidneys (4.2 and normal, and 4.2 and 6). Everything else is fine (heart, growth, limbs, bowels, etc..). Do these specific markers indicate specific chromosomal disorders (ie. down's, turners, etc..) I have been doing some research and what I have read is that they can be loosely correlated with chromosomal disorders however there are usually associated with other issues. Is this true? We are seeing a genetic counselor. This is all very new to me and I am freaking out so any words of wisdom would be appreciated.
18 Week Ultrasound Findings. Have Questions.
Good Evening,
Comments (4)
my son had 4 choroid plexus cysts at my last u/s he only had one. they will do other genetic testing and probably check again to see if they go away. he only had one soft marker the cysts. supposedly 3 is when you worry. are the kidneys a marker? still that would only be two. my son is a healthy two year old now. hope this makes you feel better :)
ds- greyson 7/08 baby edd 3/7/11, it's a girl
Hey khady042 I'm going throught he exact same thing! We just found out our baby has a choroid plexus cyst too. No other signs noted. We are also freaking out. We could do an amnio but I'm scared of miscarring a perfectly healthy baby. I would also appreciate any words of wisdom.
hotmamadv, thank you for sharing your experience. That definitely helps a bit.
My son (currently a healthy 15 month old) also had a cyst and enlarged kidneys at his 20 week ultrasound. We had a follow up a week late and again at 28 weeks in which the cyst was gone and the kidneys measured in normal range. My doctor was very reassuring to us that these two markers are common and usually clear up by 25 weeks.
My son is healthy and happy!!
Choroid plexus cysts are small cystic areas in the choroid plexus. The choroid plexus is spongy tissue in the ventricle of the brain. It is not in the substance of the brain itself.
These cysts are:
1. Very common. With better ultrasound equipment they keep getting more common.
2. Not in the brain per se, but in the choroid, the tissue in the ventricle that makes spinal fluid.
3. Will almost always go away by 24 weeks or so, and *never* damage the brain.
*May* have a slight increased risk (1-1.5% chance) that the baby has trisomy 18 or trisomy 21. There is controversy on this point, but almost all agree that if the cysts are not greater than 10 mm or bilateral, there is probably no increased risk over that of the mother's age.
If the baby opened its hand during the ultrasound, the chances of trisomy 18 may be markedly decreased. If there were no other abnormalities seen, the chances are low also.
Now, having said that the risk is probably very low, if the baby does have trisomy 18, it is a severe and fatal chromosome disorder, with most babies dying shortly after birth. However, most trisomy 18 babies will have other abnormalities seen on ultrasound and will not open their hands. So the decision to have amniocentesis may depend on the mother's age, the adequacy of the ultrasound for other abnormalities,
the size and location of the cysts, and the particular burden that a possibility of trisomy 18 implies compared to the risk of miscarriage from the amniocentesis.

3 Stocks Pushing The Diversified Services Industry Lower
Spar Group ( SGRP), down 3.6%, NV5 Holdings ( NVEE), down 6.1%, DLH Holdings ( DLHC), down 4.9%, PDI ( PDII), down 2.5% and China HGS Real Estate ( HGSH), down 3.7%. TheStreet Ratings Group would like to highlight 3 stocks that pushed the industry lower today: PDI ( PDII) is one of the companies that pushed the Diversified Services industry lower today. PDI was down $0.09 (2.5%) to $3.50 on light volume. Throughout the day, 2,461 shares of PDI exchanged hands as compared to its average daily volume of 9,400 shares. The stock ranged in price between $3.42-$3.59 after having opened the day at $3.42 as compared to the previous trading day's close of $3.59. PDI, Inc. provides outsourced commercial services to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and healthcare companies in the United States. PDI has a market cap of $58.7 million and is part of the services sector. Shares are down 25.4% year-to-date as of the close of trading on Thursday. Currently there is 1 analyst who rates PDI a buy, no analysts rate it a sell, and 1 rates it a hold. STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. TheStreet Ratings rates PDI as a sell. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its unimpressive growth in net income, poor profit margins, weak operating cash flow, generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself and feeble growth in its earnings per share. Highlights from TheStreet Ratings analysis on PDII go as follows:Editor's Note: Any reference to TheStreet Ratings and its underlying recommendation does not reflect the opinion of TheStreet, Inc. or any of its contributors including Jim Cramer or Stephanie Link. The Diversified Services industry as a whole closed the day down 0.8% versus the S&P 500, which was down 0.1%. Laggards within the Diversified Services industry included
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Health Care Providers & Services industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 175.8% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $2.13 million to -$1.61 million.
- The gross profit margin for PDI INC is rather low; currently it is at 16.98%. It has decreased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of -4.91% trails that of the industry average.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to -$6.46 million or 628.88% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.
- The share price of PDI INC has not done very well: it is down 13.40% and has underperformed the S&P 500, in part reflecting the company's sharply declining earnings per share when compared to the year-earlier quarter. The fact that the stock is now selling for less than others in its industry in relation to its current earnings is not reason enough to justify a buy rating at this time.
- PDI INC has experienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. We feel it is likely to report a decline in earnings in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, PDI INC continued to lose money by earning -$0.31 versus -$1.75 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 32.3% in earnings (-$0.41 versus -$0.31).

» Thomson Reuters Q2 2010 Earnings Call Transcript
» Thomson Reuters Q1 2010 Earnings Call Transcript
Frank Golden
Good morning, and thank you for joining as we report our fourth quarter and our full year 2010 results. We'll begin today with Thomson Reuters CEO Tom Glocer, who will be followed by our CFO, Bob Daleo. Following Tom and Bob's presentations, we'll open the call for questions and I ask that you please limit yourself to one question each so we can get to as many as possible.
Now throughout today's presentation, keep in mind that when we compare performance period on period, we look at revenue growth rates before currency as we believe this provides the best basis to measure the underlying performance of the business.
The company announced today its intention to sell its BAR/BRI Legal Education business and its Scandinavian Legal and Tax Accounting business, both of which are expected to close by midyear. Today's presentation and discussion includes the results of these disposals within ongoing businesses for comparability purposes since we owned the businesses for the entire reporting period.
Operating results, which exclude the results for these two businesses, are reflected in the supplemental schedule noted as Appendix A in today's release that I would draw your attention to. The company's 2011 outlook is based on the results reflected in Appendix A, which again exclude these disposals.
Lastly, on our website, you'll find some supplemental information that provides additional details on the quarterly and full year 2010 results, excluding disposals.
Now today's presentation contains forward-looking statements and actual results may differ materially due to a number of risks and uncertainties discussed in reports and filings that we provide to regulatory agencies. You can access these documents on our website or by contacting our Investor Relations department. It's now my pleasure to introduce the Chief Executive Officer of Thomson Reuters, Tom Glocer.
Thomas Glocer
Thank you, Frank. And thank you, all, for joining us this morning. I plan to cover three topics today. First, I'll discuss our full year 2010 results and selected highlights for the year. Second, I'll discuss our priorities as we enter 2011. And lastly, I'll discuss our outlook for 2011 as we look forward to accelerating revenue growth and profitability.
Let me begin by saying that 2010 was a good transition year for us in the sense that we achieved what we set out to accomplish. But it is by no means indicative of either our growth ambitions or what we're capable of.
In 2010, the company returned to growth helped by new products that are gaining momentum and markets that are improving. We released great new flagship products including WestlawNext, Thomson Reuters Eikon and Thomson Reuters Elektron, which will accelerate our growth in 2011 and beyond. And we delivered on our efficiency initiatives which, along with higher revenue growth, will contribute to improving margins and growing free cash flow. So let's take a look at the numbers.
2010 revenues came in a little bit stronger than we originally anticipated and we ended the year with good momentum and growth of 4% in the fourth quarter. I'd characterize the current economic environment for us as one of rising business optimism, although that optimism and the opportunity for growth is unevenly distributed across the globe. We're encouraged by what we're seeing in the business: revenue growth, positive net sales and strong customer uptake of our new products and conditions in the financial and legal services markets have improved.
Headcount in financial service has stabilized as layoffs slowed and hiring improved, especially in Asia. And at law firms, profits per partner were up as billings begun to increase off of a reduced cost base. For the full year, total revenues increased 1% for us as compared to being unchanged in 2009. The Professional division's revenues rose 4%. Growth was good across each of professionals business units with Tax & Accounting and Healthcare and Science achieving particularly strong results.
Legal revenues were up 2% with good growth from subscription services up 6%, offset by a decline in transaction revenues and print revenues. The Markets divisions' 2010 revenues were down 1% as a result of the negative net sales in 2009 and early 2010, but they rose 2% in Q4 from positive net sales in the second half of the year. Performance of our Enterprise unit was particularly strong with revenues up 7% for the year. Underlying operating margin was 20% before the impact of acquisitions and currency, 19.6% after, and this is consistent with our outlook for the year. Underlying operating profit declined 7% for the firm as a whole primarily due to ongoing product investment, product mix, the dilutive effect of acquisitions and due to currency.
Importantly, our integration program remains on track and will conclude on December 31 of this year. At year end 2010, we achieved run rate savings of $1.4 billion. In 2011 we expect to incur about $200 million of additional integration costs; that's about $75 million higher than our previous target. But we expect to end 2011 with run rate savings of $1.7 billion and that's $100 million above the corresponding previous target.

Laura MusselmanPearl Jam's Eddie Vedder at Seattle Center's KeyArena.Pearl Jam is spending the summer celebrating its 20th anniversary, a milestone that marks not only the genesis of the band but their debut record, Ten, which helped define our city's sound on an international level. One milepost the band's missed in its two decades is Seattle's biggest music and arts festival: Bumbershoot, held annually over Labor Day. It's not for lack of trying.
"PJ has never played Bumbershoot (some members have played in side-projects though)," Bumbershoot booker Chris Porter said in an e-mail. "The festival has had many discussions over the years with management and their agency about Pearl Jam playing, but it has never panned out."
The fest's fallen on hard times in recent years. Attendance is down, then the fest's nonprofit parent, One Reel, was forced to lay off most of its full-time festival staff last year. There's more competition from the likes of Wallingford resident Dave Matthews, whose band is doubling down on their annual Labor Day weekend stand at the Gorge by hosting a three-day fest of their own at the venue.
Pearl Jam will be playing a festival over the long weekend this year, but it won't be Bumbershoot. Like Matthews, West Seattle's Eddie Vedder & co. are throwing their own festival. Pearl Jam is taking up residence at Wisconsin's Alpine Valley, not far from Milwaukee and close enough to Chicago, and bringing with them their friends in the Strokes, Queens of the Stone Age, and Seattle's the Young Evils, among others, for a two-night stand, Sept. 3 and 4.
Longtime Pearl Jam rep Nicole Vandenberg says the efforts to twin Pearl Jam and Bumbershoot have been mutual. "Bumbershoot is an amazing music festival," she said in an e-mail. "There have been many lovely, creative conversations over the years about how to make the scheduling and charity elements work (Pearl Jam traditionally gives away all its hometown proceeds to charity), but the timing hasn't worked out for one reason or another. Someday . . . "
For those willing to make the trip, tickets are $334 for the weekend, and go on sale June 4.

text: Worked last Saturday (shame on me). About 4pm I hopped on the Yamaha Scorpio and decided to head out for a bit of a ride. Sidebar: The Scorpio is a cheap cheap cheap 225cc commuter bike with standard suspension and cast 18" wheels. In most western media and forums it is disparaged as a cheap (but not good) first bike or a cheap (but not good) commuter for those who don't want to ride scooters. So headed north from Balikpapan. Reality no.1; until you get out of town, the traffic is horrendous and unless you are on a small bike / scooter the overtaking opportunities are limited. About 40 mins out of Balikpapan, the traffic disappears and the towns become further apart. The roads don't get any better, people still walk out in front of you, locals on scooters and bikes (invariably without helmets) still just pull out. Between Kijangs (the local Toyota people-mover driven with abandon and without common sense) attacking from the rear and overladen lorries struggling up hill at 20km/hr (20 km/jam in local parlance) then a ride even on "good" roads in exciting. As the sun fell lower, and the shadows got longer, the logic to turn around increased, but the urge to do so decreased. I passed the point of my geographical knowledge (without a map hahaha) and continued on. Across small and large rivers with fishing boats galore. Through small towns where people stared (because of my sexy Scorpio, or the crisp crackle of the exhaust, or because of the big white guy with both beneath him, i could not tell). Sidebar: I ditched the massive standard exhaust system with the 15mm exhaust exit for effectively an open sports pipe exhaust 40mm dia. Oh, the pipe and fitting, Rp 350,000 or USD 37. Actually too loud for my sensitive ears, but apparently loud pipes save lives Actually, total defensive riding in Indonesia will minimise risk, but not save lives. Loud pipes just draws attention to the big white guy So I travelled too far north. I got lost. I entered a small town (not located on google maps) and slowly weaved my way through a Saturday night market blocking the entire road with inqisitive stares all round, (nb: i was on the main road to the Capital of the province ). Reality No. 2 Out of town, I was constantly dodging potholes. Not those small pathetic excuses for potholes in Australia. I am talking 3 - 6ft dia and 18 in - 2 ft deep. Real drop in and "lose your smile" potholes. Sidebar: I am still awaiting my gear from home so I am riding in denim jeans, short sleeve polo shirt and $14 open face helmet. Yes yes yes, I know As I got closer to Samarinda (unbeknownst to me, I was lost) I was dodging a beautiful electrical storm. Coming into Samarinda (from bumf*ck nowhere) the road was a series of prelaid concrete pavement (typically 2 - 5 km in length with 300 - 600mm earthen ramps up to the block of concrete sticking out of nowhere - i really wish I took my camera for this) in between dirt / mud roads. Reality No.3 - Alerts to road works are not world class. I ended up travelling 500m down the wrong side of a dual lane highway. Dodging the 2nd semi alerted me to my stupidity. Coming into Samarinda, I dodged the tropical rainstorm but the roads did not. There were kilometres and kilometres of mud, and we had to dodge bogged semi-trailers (lorries) and cars and pick-ups that were not coping at all. My Rossi boots are screwed with mud and my jeans were likewise caked. Reality No.4, shabby roads in the tropics = mud mud mud... By the time I got to a hotel in Samarinda it was 9:15pm. As I walked into the cheapest, big, hotel I could find the smirk was classic. "Sorry sir, we are out of standard rooms; only Rp 1,350,000 suites available" ($135). This is a hotel I am pretty sure I will pay $45 next week on business. hahaha. nope. Reality no.5, walking up to a hotel for a room is horrendous. An expat doing it in SE Asia is just asking to be gouged. If I could have found an internet cafe, I would have booked something... So I decide to head for the 110km ride back to Balikpapan. Winding road. slow trucks in front. Maniacal cars behind. Fortunately the road was in better condition than I anticipated. Total time from Samarinda City Centre to Balikpapan City Centre was just shy of 3 hours (12:17am back to home). Reality No. 6, that's 3 hours for 110km And you need that power for what? But here is my point to shying away from big bikes. 1. I hit 90km/hr once, but most of the time i was riding between 50 and 70 km/h. even my 80km/hr cruising speed wasn't comfortable and I dropped back. 2. Roads, other road users, pot holes and the mud, mean that you won't average much higher, even with the daring of Evil Kniieval. 3. The Scorpio (read side bar for disparaging remarks) on shabby broken road is comparable (hmmm) in utility to my DR650 back home. Given an appropriate speed the ground clearance is sufficient and the stability is awesome. On road tyres, the work through the mud was superior to comparable experience on my DR650 or BMW GS650. 4. Everywhere I went there was some helmet-less local on a scooter or underbone whipping my arse. Speed on Indonesian roads is (in decreasing order) a function of; 1. Disregard for self preservation, 2. lightness of bike, 3. skill of rider, 4. power of bike. 5. Large fuel tanks not required, if you can buy the fuel in glass bottles from homes along the way (I think a GS needs premium, so bad luck GS riders) then you are OK. Some of the best conversations happen when buying fuel from roadside bottles Conclusion 1. I am about to get punished, i am ready. No one disparages the bigger is better mantra (anything under 100 HP is a ladies bike)! 2. I own an F800GS at home (Sydney) and have owned a stream of dual sports (DR650 is favourite). Here in Kalimantan, I would buy a KLX250, but the Scorpio is a reasonable alternative (more below). My DR6650 would be OK. The F800GS a PITA. R1200GS a lot of weight to pick up... 3. The Scorpio is as stable off road and in mud as the DR650. 18" wheels are not to be underestimated (and neither is weight - this is easier to ride on dirt than my 220kg 17" wheel Bandit - who'd have thought ) 4. Given the road conditions, the mud, the fuel supply, the pot holes and the traffic, anyone on an R1200GS or KTM Adventure 990 (or any dual sport > 650) would have a miserable time by comparison. If fact, I believe that in the conditions here in East Kalimantan, a 650 would be overkill (not good at a cruising speed is about 70km/hr). Anything bigger, PITA. 5. Why not a KLX250? Well, KLX150's are cheap (but not great for hauling 105kg riders). KLX250's are $7,700 and have a 4 month waiting list. I figured I could buy a scorpio, trash the thing, have a good time and still go everywhere I wanted to go I intend to do more trips and actually take some pics, as soon as my gear arrives and I can extract my a**hole boss from my a**hole ("you should be doing 6.5 days plus" hahahahahaha) and do some rides I want. In my final defence I have read some overland stories from guys on Honda 110 step thru's. I was cynical. But now, being here in Borneo, I know that the sensible SE Asian overland option is to buy the smallest local bike you can buy, fill it with fuel out of glass bottles beside the road and get the local workshops to fix. Importing a bike is hard work. Riding a big bike is harder work. I actually laugh when I see an expat on a harley, or a z1000 or a BMW. It is truly is style over substance and not the least bit satisfying as a rider given the road conditions and other road users. I am changed. Less is more. My ultimate overland ride involves local bikes that can be repaired by local mechanics, tyres from local workshops and replaced with simlarly cheap local bikes.

That's one week newer than mine! Did your serial number also start with DL, supposedly indicating it was manufactured in China.

The serial number for the IPAD2 WI-FI 3 G 64 GB Black AT&T that I returned and got a refund was DN6FNLHTDFJ3.

Well, that's interesting. I am by no means an expert on deciphering Apple serial numbers, but according to a poster, the fact that mine began with DL meant it was manufactured in China. I don't know where DN was manufactured.
optimysticguy May 17, 2011 7:42 PM
in response to Doug Lerner2
Perhaps some other folks can shed some light on the serial number as to where it was manufactured. I am going to wait now, since I do not get paid from Apple to be their Field Quality Control Staffer. I do know that since March I have tied time, floated close to $4,375.00 in money through credit cards to get one that is not defective. Not a good customer buying experience. That is one of the moments I enjoyed about Apple Products. They are normally built well, and they work! My family has 6 Macbook Pro's, a 27 inch IMAC, 3 Iphones, Several Ipods...Never had a problem with them out of the box like this. I recognize that from time to time things can happen in making stuff. However, that is the fundamental reason I buy Apple premium products. I am sure they will turn this around. I just miss the positive buying experience and excitement of their new product releases! This has been kinda of a drag.
I would be interested in the mystery of the LCD and the serial number clues as to where these are manufactured.
Hang in there everyone!

Your experience with Apple products has been much better than mine!
Except for my iMac and iPhone, and currently my new iPad 2, I have never bought an Apple product that didn't have problems.
My PowerBooks and MBPs all had screen and other problems, and had to be exchanged from the start. Same with older notebooks like my Duo and iBook. My MBP also had the trackpad stop working 3 times and the motherboard replaced twice. My iPod - I don't even want to go there! It had the "tilted screen" problem and I had to end up calling the consumer affairs agency here in Japan to finally get a refund, apology and gift certificate. I never want to touch an iPod again. And I had to get 3 different iPad 1s before I got one without broken pixels.
Apple is usually good about eventually fixing problems. But I always have to prepare myself mentally before buying an Apple product, because in my experience they almost always has some problems which need to be dealt with.

For the first one (32GB Wifi White), the light leaks aren't too bad and my wife was okay with it so I didn't return it. For the 2nd and 3rd ones (both 64GB Black ATT 3G), I purchased them at Wal-Mart
Walmart is extremely aggressive on the prices they pay for merchandise. I wonder how manufacturers react to that.

I had serious light leakage on my first 3g 64gb that I bought through apple's webstore. The exchnage took three weeks, the new one is almost perfect and better than my ipad 1. When I called for the exchange the guy on the phone confirmed the problem with my serial number, so they know exactly which ones got the problem. After all I am happy and the whole procedure has been handled flawless by Apple.
Xaldafax May 18, 2011 7:02 AM
in response to Chriscic
Over on this forum some people noticed today and yesterday that their new Ipad 2's were showing no leakage. This was on models with Serial # starting: DLXF. There was one person that said there was a very tiny amount and another that had some but most were saying things were perfect.
I was wondering what people that received some today or over past 2 days with DLXF had here? Are we starting to see better new ones in the most recent shipment?
Here is the thread: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1114606&page=114
I was thinking of going and try to get one today at one of the stores in LA.

The week of manufacture could also matter. Mine is DLXFM and I can't see any light-bleed problems.

Check this out:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/18/nanosys-qdef-screen-technology-ships-in-q4-sl ips-into-ipad-at-s/
I'm pretty sure those are both iPad 1st gen's but omg...look at the screen on the left...beautiful...
Pretty shocking though that ipad screen only covers 40% of NTSC gamut...not very fitting for a product that costs 500$+
I know this has nothing to do with the light leak issue but wouldn't it be cool if we could mod our ipad 2's ourselves and put in a better screen like the one from nanosys?

My latest iPad 2 is out for delivery now. It shipped from China on Saturday night / Sunday morning, so it should be 'new stock' and will hopefully not have the issue. Once I get home from work, I'll check it out and post my results here...fingers crossed!

Hi all
To the people who just bought or got there Ipad 2 in the last 7 days without screen bleed does it come with version 4.3.3 software or 4.3.2 ? .
Also people with screen bleed is yours version 4.3.2 or 4.3.3?
LG said this was fixed when 4.3.3 was just relested and maybe we can go off the firmwre version as anything with 4.3.3 would of been built in the last 14 days i would of thought.
I have herd people are now getting ipad 2s with 4.3.3 in them
cheers for any info
oh i have had 2 ipad 2s with DXLF
1st Ipad DXLF = screen bleed
2nd Ipad DXLF = No screen bleed at all but had 50% yellow tint on the screen and the other 50% half of the screen was whiter and put me right of when reading or surfing so went back.

If Superman is the boy scout of DC Comics, then his goody-two-shoes counterpart in the Marvel universe is Captain America. Fitting in nicely with the squeaky clean stereotype of the soldier who fights for truth, justice and the American way, Steve Rogers exemplifies all of the ideals of the classic...

Crowding a movie with talent often seems like a good idea only in the abstract sense. In practice, such films can easily feel overstuffed. For example, the basic conceits for both The Expendables and Grown Ups sound like products of wishful thinking held during a drunk conversation between a group...
In case you haven't heard, there's a new superhero movie kicking off the summer movie season. Joss Whedon's The Avengers assembles Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk, Thor and Captain American (along with Hawkeye and Black Widow, neither of whom got their own movie). Many superhero fans are preparing for this...
First Look: Steve 'Captain America' Rogers In Full Costume

- September 8, 2010
The classic response to the first look of a costume is to mock and deride it, especially because in the comic book world, costumes show up a lot differently on screen than they do in amateur photographs. We caught a glimpse of a costume test for Chris Evans as Captain...

People trying to quit smoking have to deal with a physical and behavioral addiction and experts say to truly kick the habit counseling is a must.
With programs such as the American Lung Association's "Freedom from Smoking," smokers can learn how to change their ways for good.
Brenda Olsen of the American Lung Association said, "Nutritional guidance, healthy foods to eat, fresh fruits and vegetables, things to do with their hands. We also teach them relaxation techniques so that when they are having a hard craving or a heavy urge they are prepared to know what to do."
Olsen says as difficult as quitting can be, it's important to rid yourself of a tobacco addiction to avoid suffering from the many diseases associated with smoking.

Marine Corps service helps lawmaker cultivate a spirit of public service
Monday, July 30, 2012
Recalling a youth during which he was "quiet and reserved," state Rep. Bill White, R-Joplin, says service in the Marine Corps helped instill in him a spirit of self-confidence and a desire to help others — characteristics that have been of benefit in fulfillment of his legislative duties at the Capitol.
Raised in Olathe, Kan., White took the path of many recent high school graduates when he decided to attend community college in 1971.
With 11⁄2 years of school behind him and the Vietnam War winding down, he enlisted in the Marines.
"The Marines were the best … the toughest, and my decision to join was kind of a chance to prove that I could do it," White said.
The fresh recruit was sent to Paris Island, S.C., where he completed his initial training. Earning high scores in the testing that took place during the entry process, he entered the air traffic control field.
During the next several months, he attended air traffic control training and eventually completed the requirements to earn an FAA license for tower operation.
"In our training," White said, "we learned how to land aircraft with radar and to conduct a precision controlled approach. This was like a pre-video game with all of the blips, and landing the aircraft with proper separation."
With the training completed, he was assigned to Bogue Field in North Carolina, where he was introduced to a mobile aluminum landing strip.
"In a time of conflict, you had to be able to pick up everything and move," he said.
Remaining in North Carolina until early 1975, he transferred to the Marine Corps Air Station at Iwakuni, Japan. At his new assignment, the unit did not require ground approach personnel and White served in the flight service center, where he reviewed pilots' flight plans for accuracy.
He spent a brief period in Korea working with that country's air force during a simulation exercise to prepare and train in case of a major war with the north.
In 1976, he was sent to Beaufort, S.C., and worked in the air tower until his discharge the following December.
Over the next several years, he focused on his education by finishing a bachelor's in history and a master's in Soviet area studies.
After working his way up in Commonwealth Edison from a computer programmer to a senior systems analyst, he changed careers paths and enrolled in law school at John Marshall in 1988.
White later transferred to Washburn University and earned a law degree with a certification in tax in 1993.
Seeking to satisfy a desire to continue the public service he began in the Marines, he opened his own law practice and performed court-appointed guardian work for seniors and children.
"Abuse and neglect work is exhaustive," White said. "But I didn't go to law school focused on making money — it's a service profession."
Later developing an interest in teaching, White curtailed his law business to teach various classes at high schools in the Joplin area.
For years, White said, he toyed with the idea of entering politics. In 2010, he made the decision to run for representative of the state's 129th District because those in the race "did not share my values."
Winning the race, he has recently completed his first term and is unopposed in the coming election.
Seeking to explain how a mild-mannered kid from Kansas eventually entered a career at the Capitol often characterized as adversarial, White said, "My time in the service helped me develop critical thinking skills and a pragmatic approach to resolving the challenges I encounter (in the legislature)."
White added: "You have to have the character for this type of work, and the Marines can certainly help you develop that.

Rios De Agua Viva Group
The loan that they are requesting will benefit small enterprises including Paola's. She says that this is the first time that she has been a member of Pro Mujer and that she was invited by someone from the institution who went to visit her in her home. Currently, she has a weaving business and sells alpaca shawls. She tells us that she started this business recently and that she previously wove for her aunt. When she had a little capital, she decided to start an independent business.
The loan she is currently requesting will be used to increase her capital to buy alpaca wool that she will get from the border between Bolivia and Chile and that later she will make and sell shawls in her sales location. This form of work enables her to generate resources to support her family as she is married and has 5 children.
When she was asked what she likes about Pro Mujer, she responded that she likes the security that the institution offers.
El crédito que sacaran beneficiara a pequeñas microempresarias donde la señora Paola es integrante, ella indica que es la primera vez que integra Pro Mujer, ingresando por la invitación de una compañera de la institución que fue a visitarle a su casa. En la actualidad ella tiene un negocio de tejido y venta de mantas de alpaca; da a conocer que este negocio lo emprendió recientemente, ya que anteriormente tejía para su tía, con un pequeño capital decide emprender un negocio independiente.
El crédito que ahora sacará es para el aumento de capital (compra de lana de alpaca) que adquirirá de las fronteras Bolivia - Chile y posteriormente a la elaboración lo comercializará en su espacio de venta. Esta forma de trabajo le permite generar recursos para apoyar a su familia, ya que ella es casada y tiene cinco hijos.
Cuando se le consulta qué le gusta de Pro Mujer, ella responde que le gusta la garantía que se realiza en la institución.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Hands on: Samsung Gear 360 reviewNot yet rated
MWC 2016Samsung now has a VR camera to go with its Gear VR headset, and it's quite impressive.
MWC 2016Samsung now has a VR camera to go with its Gear VR headset, and it's quite impressive.
The NX500 has same 28MP APS-C sensor and impressive AF system as the NX1, but in a cheaper, more compact design.
The highest pixel count of any APS-C format mirrorless camera, 15fps shooting and a 414-point AF system, and great images. What's not to like?
Samsung has crammed every feature it can think of into this camera, and has had to make the body bigger to fit it all in.
A lot of features squeezed into a bridge camera body, could this be the camera that does everything?
The Samsung NX Mini features a one-inch sensor, interchangeable lenses, a tilting touchscreen and inbuilt Wi-Fi.
Two years on, the 21x zoom compact gets a refresh, but is this a camera that thinks it's a smartphone?
Can Samsung's WB350F return the zing to the travel zoom digital compact camera market?
The Samsung NX30 is packed with exciting features to tempt you away from the big players in this area of the market.
