Here's the 3rd and last piece of the monthly updates for my Beat the Market Experiment, a set of three real money portfolios started on November 1st, 2012. See also my $10,000 Benchmark and $10,000 Speculative portfolio updates for March 2013.
For this one, I started with $10,000 split evenly between Prosper Lending and Lending Club, and went to work lending other people money and earning interest with an 8% target net return.
$5,000 LendingClub Loan Portfolio. Below is a screenshot of my LendingClub account as of 3/1/13. I've had loans at LC before, but sold them all on the secondary market and started fresh for this tracking experiment. Here are screenshots of my total balance and my portfolio details. I would say my overall risk level is moderate-conservative with mostly A and B rated loans (top two grades).
The portfolio is now 4 months old, with 206 currently active loans, 7 loans that were paid off early, and one is in funding. Two of the active loans are currently between 16-30 days late. The current weighted average interest rate is 12.36%, which means I can lose 4.36% to defaults and still net an 8% return.
I pick loans using a preset filter based on my LendingClub filters post as well as my Prosper filter research noted below. I never spend any time reading individual loan descriptions, as I'm trying to keep this mostly passive and scalable. The filters are saved online and it takes just a minute to reinvest interest, although I still tend to forget until I do these updates. In additional to outstanding loan principal, the account also has $249 in idle cash, $25 in funding limbo, and $38 in accrued interest.
LendingClub.com account value: $5,160 (includes principal + accrued interest, after fees)
$5,000 Prosper.com Loan Portfolio. Below are screenshots of my Prosper account page as of 3/1/13.

Allison Collins-Elfline - webmistress and owner
Quad City Community has a new theatre resource on the Web
The Quad Cities now has an internet resource to inform the community of anything and everything involving theatre in www.qctheatreweb.com.
This new site will hopefully be a much-used and informative tool for theatre performers, lovers and patrons of the Quad City area. While the QC theatre community is a small one, qctheatreweb.com hopes to deliver the pertinent information to those interested in the Quad Cities.
The site is driven by local companies and artists, using information sent by local organizations. Show listings can be enhanced to include photo galleries, cast lists, links to news, critic reviews and more. Visitors to the site also have the opportunity to submit listings and comments of their own.
For current and future performers the site offers a call board with auditions and other job opportunities. The training page lists upcoming classes in dance, voice lessons, and acting for all levels.
The Quad City Theatre Web is updated daily, as information becomes available, which encourages the theatre community to continue to check back daily. Each visit is counted and adds strength to the call for more support of the theatre arts in the Quad Cities.
This website is a free resource for the community, with the exception of companies wanting to purchase ad space for a production.
For more information, please contact us or visit www.qctheatreweb.com

hmm not bad
good textures
Overgrowth takes place in the savage world of Lugaru where rabbits, wolves and other animals are forced to use paws, claws and medieval weaponry to engage each other in battle. Combining 3rd person adventure platforming with intricate melee combat, Overgrowth achieves a unique feel. Overgrowth also benefits from Wolfire's brand new Phoenix Engine which has been built from the ground up to allow the use of cutting edge graphics, animation, and physics. Add to these exciting features Overgrowth's realistic artificial intelligence and streamlined control system and the result is an astoundingly immersive experience.
hmm not bad
good textures

Anybody have one of these? Does it handle well? Looks as if it would pack real nice, but I don't want a glorified Bike Friday. I can buy one of those for a lot less.
Anybody have one of these? Does it handle well? Looks as if it would pack real nice, but I don't want a glorified Bike Friday. I can buy one of those for a lot less.
From everything we've heard from the folks who have ridden the upcoupled versions, nice design, but not super-stiff. The uncoupled trident is VERY flexible, but a good captain can manage through it. In fact, one intrepid / strong and lightweight couple from Chicago teamed up with a superstrong, very short stoker and attacked Clingman's Dome:
Distance to the summit: 20.24 miles
Elevation Gain: 4645 feet
Total Climbing: 5246 feet
Average Grade: 4.35%
Max Grade: 12.0%
FWIW: I believe this same green Trident will make an appearance at STR for the Friday ride...
So, at least based on what I've heard from friends who've captained and stoked on these, they seem to be ideal for adult captain and small stokers or sto-kids, and adaptable for average side adults who aren't looking for a race bike. They provide a very nice, semi-conventional looking "family tandem" that is far better than its peers or many less expensive and older tandems, but there are some trade-offs on frame stiffness due to the frame design. Couplers would definitely increase the frame's stiffness. If we had young kids, no question that we would be taking one for a test ride.
Bottom Line: Test ride and then decide.

Thanks. About what one would expect, but good to hear from an end-user. Test drive in the works.
We have the comotion periscope and love it. Sometimes I ride with my 9 year old girl. sometimes I ride with the big 12 year old boy. Sometime my wife and I are on it. And even on occasion my wife will captain with one of the kids on the back. Its obviously extremely versatile, looks and handles well also in my opinion.
Two wheels good. Four wheels bad.
Thanks Nachoman... I'll be getting jealous of your weather pretty soon. Felt like Fall here yesterday.

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.

Mall Kiil
Conservatory Teacher
Music is a powerful therapeutic tool. Current scientific research supports this claim. And this principal is the very foundation of Mall Kiil's current work as a music therapist.
Mall has a Masters Degree in Music Therapy from New York University as well as Board Certification from the national Certification Board for Music Therapists (CBMT). Mall is also a New Jersey Certified Music Teacher as well as a NJ Certified Special Education Teacher.
Mall's strong interest in the human psyche and in the role music plays in our personal and social development led to a Bachelor of Arts Degree from Duke University with a major in the social sciences and a strong concentration of music history and music theory courses.
Putting her convictions about music's importance in our personal lives to practical use, Mall taught for 25 years at The Forum School in Waldwick, NJ, a school for special needs, autistic and Asperger syndrome youngsters. There she initiated, developed and directed a music program for the school. Using a pedagogical strategy that focused on multi-sensory and child-centered approaches, the music program was able to successfully involve high as well as low-functioning students. Using their voices, playing instruments and creating in the music room brought joy to the students and also helped create significant positive changes in their growth and development. Music enabled them to express themselves and to communicate. Music raised their self-esteem and their motivation to excel in other areas of their lives as well.
This work led to further specialization and research at the Nordoff-Robbins Center for Music Therapy at NYU where Mall studied with Clive Robbins, one of the great pioneers of music therapy work, and his staff of music therapists. While there, she worked with clients of various ages and disabilities and utilized various therapeutic interventions and improvisational techniques for achieving clinical goals.
Currently, Mall works as music therapist for several health organizations in the New York area and maintains a private practice for adults and children with varying challenges and difficulties. She also continues her work as accompanist, church pianist and choir director.

Adobe cleared to take over Macromedia
The US Department of Justice has cleared Adobe Systems' proposed £2bn acquisition of Macromedia.
This Article Covers
Data centre
The US Department of Justice has cleared Adobe Systems' proposed £2bn acquisition of Macromedia.
Pending approval in Europe, Adobe said it expected the deal to close later this autumn.
Adobe announced the takeover in April and received shareholder approval in August.
The company's PDF (portable document format) system and Adobe Reader and Acrobat products lead the field in electronic document handling, and Macromedia's Flash player is estimated to be on more than 90% of the world's internet-enabled computers.
Macromedia's Dreamweaver also has a big slice of the website development market. The combined company is seen as an important counterweight to Microsoft in web and graphics development.
Microsoft recently announced that its forthcoming Office 12 collaboration suite will support Adobe's PDF system.

Issues in market governance and regulatory governance
In the 25th anniversary year of the RPI, Aprils Westminster conference will take a broad look at market and regulatory governance issues. The days deliberations will be divided into four sessions:
- Governance arrangements for major infrastructure decisions and projects
- Market governance: competition policies and business conduct regulation
- Network governance in changing circumstances
- Governance of devolved regulation: quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Platform speakers and chairs are:
- Jenny Block, Pinsent Masons
- Martin Crouch, Ofgem
- Peter Freeman, CAT
- David Gray, GEMA
- Deirdre Hutton, CAA
- Richard Price, UKRN
- Bridget Rosewell, NIC
- Cathryn Ross, Ofwat
- Mary Starks, FCA
- John Swift QC
- John Wotton, CMA
- George Yarrow, RPI
This year's annual Oxford conference will focus on retrospective assessments of policy performance over the last quarter of a century.
The RPIs annual competition conference was convened as a symposium last year, with fewer platform speakers few Power Point projections, and more discussion and dialogue. For that reason, we will not be publishing presentations from the conference. We are very pleased, however, that Steve Smith has provided us the text for his Zeeman lecture. You can read the full speech here. The full programme for the conference is also available.
Ordoliberalism and timelessness of Article 82
Co-hosted with the UK Regulators Network
The 2015 Westminster conference, co-hosted with the UKRN, reviewed the state of play of UK economic regulation ahead of the general election, including how we have got to current policies and practices and the prospects for future developments in the post-election period.
Presentations from the conference are now available. See also conference programme.
The future shape of regulation and competition policy in light of changing institutions, practice and politics
For a full list of sessions and speakers please see the conference programme.
Presentations from the conference are now available.
Speakers included: Vince Cable, Secretary of State, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills; Peter Freeman, Chairman, Competition Appeal Tribunal; David Gray, Chair, Gas and Electricity Markets Authority; Richard Price, CEO, Office of Rail Regulation; Cathryn Ross, CEO, Water Services Regulation Authority; and Roger Witcomb, Chair, Competition Commission.

The report, published in late 2012, further develops some of the material of an earlier report for the Legal Services Board, and contains a critique of existing 'econometric' work on the economic contribution of legal services. The paper was referenced in Commissioner Viviane Reding's address to the recent plenary session of the CCBE.
The slides from George Yarrow's 2013 Beesley lecture, Alternatives to wooden headedness: (much) less costly ways of regulating carbon emissions are available here. See also background and related reading.
Please see the RPI response, September 2013.
Many presentations from last year's Westminster conference are available.

This column was originally published on RealMoney on April 4 at 10:51 a.m. EDT. It's being republished as a bonus for TheStreet.com readers.Earlier this decade, Microsoft (MSFT - Get Report), Sony (SNE - Get Report) and Nintendo released a new generation of gaming consoles that delivered stunning graphics, addictive titles and heart-pounding action.
Activision (ATVI - Get Report) has one of the hottest titles on the market right now, with its Call of Duty sequel. But that hasn't stopped the Santa Monica-based company from running into the same critical issues as its competitors. Notice how the stock topped out last year, printed a small double top, and then broke down in a volatile correction. Now take note of how the stock broke support right after Microsoft's limited Xbox 360 release in November. It finally bounced in March and now shows the first stage of a sideways pattern that could last a very long time. Unfortunately, accumulation hardly budged in the recent uptick, so investors still aren't finding much to love here. THQ (THQI) is best known for its World Wrestling Entertainment titles and was the only major gaming company to meet sales projections last year. This solid performance let the stock avoid most of the selling pressure suffered by its competitors. Indeed, this looks like the best opportunity for anyone who wants to play the gaming sector. Notice how price hit a new high in January, dropped through its 50-day moving average, jumped back across it and bounced sharply last week. The transition of these events sets the stage for a rally back to the three-month high. In the longer term, this stock also shows a multiyear breakout pattern that should trigger on a rally up and through $30. Konami (KNM) is the biggest gaming operation you've probably never heard of. It's a well-capitalized Japanese company that's released dozens of popular gaming titles, such as Metal Gear Solid. It's also a conglomerate with key operations outside of multimedia software. This diversity has helped its stock performance in recent months. It's interesting that price action is moving in the opposite direction of most American gamemakers. In fact, the stock bottomed out at exactly the same time that Microsoft released Xbox 360 and moved higher in a strong rally throughout the first quarter. But price has now reached key resistance at $26 and could selloff to $20 before it recovers. P.S. from TheStreet.com Editor-in-Chief, Dave Morrow:
It's always been my opinion that it pays to have more -- not fewer -- expert market views and analyses when you're making investing or trading decisions.

Updated from 10:31 a.m. EST to provide analyst comments regarding valuation in the sixth and seventh paragraphs.NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Tesla Motors (TSLA - Get Report) shares are like the Energizer Bunny. They just keep going and going.
Seems to be some stormy weather over in Shortville these days— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 25, 2013Even some Wall Street analysts, who are usually a bullish group, have had a hard time justifying the recent run. Merrill Lynch analyst John Lovallo II, who rates shares "underperform" with a $37 price target, noted that Tesla is priced beyond perfection, and has become a momentum name. "We recognize that Tesla is a momentum driven stock, but believe the tides could quickly turn at the first sign of execution hiccups or softening demand," Lovallo wrote in a note after Tesla report earnings. Deutsche Bank analyst Rod Lache is not taking a valuation view on the company, as the stock is not being driven by fundamentals. He notes that "a large part of the current investor base that Tesla has the potential to be significantly disruptive to the automotive industry and massively profitable as a result." Consumer Reports gave the Model S a near perfect score of 99, citing the car's power, handling and interior, and called it one of the best cars it's ever reviewed. This epic run will not last forever, but it's clear that shorts are covering, as the electric car company continues to impress consumers and Wall Street alike. -- Written by Chris Ciaccia in New York >Contact by Email.

The San Antonio Spurs didn't play with their usual methodical precision. Kawhi Leonard more than offset those shortcomings, especially against ragtag Memphis.
Leonard scored 32 points, and the Spurs beat the Grizzlies 96-87 on Friday night to take a 3-0 lead in their Western Conference first-round series.
The Spurs now are a win away from their ninth postseason series sweep and third against Memphis. They finished the game on a 13-6 run in the final 3:41, and Leonard, the two-time Defensive Player of the Year, scored 13 points in the fourth quarter as he shot 11 of 22 for the game and 6 of 9 from 3-point range.

Contemporary Ethical Concepts in Historical Context
Ethics talk has a long history in American journalism. The vocabulary of ethics has been invoked by editors and publishers since Colonial times to attack their economic rivals or to defend themselves against their critics. But for ethics talk to be more than just talk, journalists must be able to operate with autonomy and accountability. Autonomy means the freedom to act according to the dictates of one's conscience and professional judgment; accountability means that there is some mechanism in place to insure that one fulfills one's responsibilities or to impose sanctions when one fails to fulfill them. The degree of autonomy and accountability that American journalists have had has varied greatly throughout our history.
According to one widely held view, the history of journalism ethics reflects the march of moral progress: a gradually increasing awareness by journalists of their professional responsibilities and a parallel development of the institutional framework for assuring a high standard of journalistic conduct. This progress can be seen in the growing professionalism of the workforce (increasing autonomy) and in the development of formal standards of journalistic conduct (increasing accountability). Though there have been occasional lapses and reverses, the improved ethical character of contemporary journalism can be seen in the separation of news from opinion (dictated by the standard of objectivity) and in the separation of the news and business functions of the newspaper, which prevents advertisers or the economic interests of the newspaper itself from interfering with the newspaper's fulfillment of its responsibility to its public.1
This view is rejected by a number of press critics such as Lance Bennett, who has argued that

not bad
This review is from: SIIG JU-91RB12 9-in-1 USB 2.0 Card Reader + FDD
Pros: works just about perfect and easy 2 hook up
Cons: usb 4 pin cable coulg have been a few inches longer & red led goes off when it wants 2
Other Thoughts: does the job
Did you find this review helpful?
It works well enough
This review is from: SIIG JU-91RB12 9-in-1 USB 2.0 Card Reader + FDD
Pros: It does what it's made to, it will read floppies and flash memory cards without trouble (under Windows XP), and installation isn't difficult, aside from the slight complication noted below.
Cons: I may not have looked over the specs carefully enough before puchasing, but as stated in previous reviews, the floppy drive portion of this reader requires a floppy ribbon cable. All the functions are not carried by the USB connection alone. This came as a surprise to me, considering there are many, many USB floppy drives out there. For me this wasn't really a problem, but others looking at this product should take note of it.

Does not work w/ Vista
This review is from: SIIG JU-91RB12 9-in-1 USB 2.0 Card Reader + FDD
Pros: It worked under XP Media Center edition very well.
Cons: Will not work with Vista. An email to their tech support said sorry we do not support Vista. A phone call to tech support kep me on hold for 4 hours and then hung up. I am looking elsewhere.

Fdd is not USB
This review is from: SIIG JU-91RB12 9-in-1 USB 2.0 Card Reader + FDD
Pros: I bought this because I was told that the FDD was USB, even the factory said it was. But it is USB only for the memory reader.
Cons: It is not USB!

Nice unit, mine had a malfunction
This review is from: SIIG JU-91RB12 9-in-1 USB 2.0 Card Reader + FDD
Pros: - Easy USB 2.0 connection
Cons: Only con is that mine had a problem with the floppy power connector. This connector isn't required for USB functions. Hopefully, a replacement will fix it.
Other Thoughts: Be sure to look for the newest -S4 version. There is also a S1 and S2. Maybe S4 improved compatability.

Even during the holiday period, the team is hard at work coming up with new ideas to improve your gaming experience.
Today we are delighted to be able to announce a whole range of changes and updates that we hope you'll enjoy.
Firstly the Survivor mode has finally passed its test period. We've reviewed and increased the Clintz rewards you can win and we've added credits for the best players of the day, week, month and Deck format. You can therefore put together series in all the available Deck formats to try and increase your winnings.
We've also used this opportunity to increase the prizes awarded in the ELO tournaments: not only for those players who have high scores but cannot get into the top 25, but for everyone else too.
We've also decided to apply the challenging rules in Survivor mode to all the other competition modes (daily tournaments, ELO, etc.): visibility and Quick Battle are obligatory, refusals are forbidden.
Another much awaited change is that we've completely updated the ranking system: your rank is now directly linked to the percentage of the collection you own (no more respect points) and we've added 4 new grades (Veteran, Hero, Legend and Divinity).

May 5, 2016
Athens, GA - The Georgia football team began preparations for this week's matchup with Georgia Tech by holding a one-hour, full-pads session under the lights on the Woodruff Practice Fields on Monday.
The Bulldogs are 7-4 overall and wound up 5-3 in the Southeastern Conference, while the Yellow Jackets are 7-4 overall and went 5-3 in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Saturday's game in Atlanta will kick off at 3:30 p.m. and will be televised nationally by ABC.
Monday's practice was the first for the Bulldogs since their 59-17 win over Kentucky last Saturday.
"Georgia Tech has an offensive scheme that we don't see every day, so our preparation will be crucial this week," Georgia coach Mark Richt said. "It's important that our scouts give us a good look to help us get ready. They did a good job tonight and we need them to keep doing it the rest of the week. We're off to a good start."
Richt said the captains for Saturday's game will be center David Andrews on offense, end Garrison Smith on defense, and linebacker Kosta Vavlas and fullback Corey Campbell on special teams.
In other news, Smith was named the Southeastern Conference Defensive Lineman of the Week for his efforts against Kentucky. He was the Bulldogs' second-leading tackler with seven stops, including two sacks and three tackles for loss of 11 yards, and forced a pair of fumbles. Smith helped anchor a defense that held Kentucky to just 211 total yards on offense, including 62 on the ground.

Observational Studies of Rare Events: A Subset Selection Approach
Sanchez, Susan M., Higle, Julia L., Journal of the American Statistical Association
The use of observational data has long posed a barrier in the context of selection procedures. Indeed, the literature focuses on selection as a design methodology rather than as an analytic tool for nonexperimental data; see Gibbons, Olkin, and Sobel (1977) for a survey of selection and ranking methodology. In experimental settings sample sizes are controllable and typically identical across populations, thereby increasing the ease of using selection procedures. The virtual exclusion of observational data within selection procedures can be considered a major drawback to their potential usefulness. In this article, we offer a step toward eliminating this drawback by examining a subset selection approach to the study of observational data involving rare events. Such problems are characterized by large, uncontrollable sample sizes and extremely low incidence rates. Both of these characteristics fall well outside the domain of most selection procedures, for which small sample sizes and incidence rates much nearer \ are usually presumed throughout the development of "worst case" analyses (see, for example, Gupta and McDonald 1986).
Our work is motivated by studies arising in the context of urban traffic safety improvement studies. To improve the safety of a traffic network, the traffic analyst periodically seeks out those locations that are inherently hazardous and identifies them as in need of further safety improvements. Regardless of the identification method used, traffic analysts generally agree that the accident rate--defined as the number of accidents per million vehicles--is an important measure of traffic hazard (see, for example, Laughlin, Haefner, Hall, and Clough, 1975). Although hazard could also be measured in terms of accident volumes, accident rates treat individuals more equitably. For example, a heavily travelled intersection in a city might be associated with a larger number of total accidents, but a lower accident rate than a less-travelled location in an outlying area. If site improvement efforts are allocated on the basis of accident volumes, higher priority is implicitly given to lowering accidents for individual drivers living in highly populated areas. Within the context of urban traffic safety planning, there is a tremendous benefit to be gained from being able to correctly identify an acceptably small set of locations that very likely contains at least the most hazardous location in the system.
As evidenced by the data used in our numerical examples (see Higle and Witkowski 1988), the traffic hazard identification problem is characterized by extremely large and uncontrollable traffic volumes (i.e., sample sizes) that may differ radically from one location to another. Complicating matters even further, the accident rates are extremely low relative to traffic volumes. In practice a site is typically identified as hazardous if its observed accident rate over some specified time period exceeds the upper limit for a one-sided confidence interval for the mean accident rate over all sites in the region under consideration. (See Laughlin et al. (1975) for a summary of such methods.) The inadequacies of such methods are clear as discussed in Hauer and Persaud (1984) and Higle and Hecht (1989). Empirical Bayes procedures for identifying hazardous locations also have been proposed (Hauer and Persaud 1983, 1984; Higle and Hecht 1989; Higle and Witkowski 1988). As Higle and Hecht (1989) showed, these procedures consistently yield results virtually indistinguishable from results yielded by procedures based solely on observational data, because the empirical Bayes estimates are predominantly influenced by the observational data. This differs from other applications that have been studied. For example, within the context of a school ranking problem, Laird and Louis (1989) indicated that empirical Bayes procedures can yield population ranks that differ from those based solely on observational data. …

Most of us would swallow a pill before being poked by a needle, yet sufferers of chronic illnesses are regularly required to administer their medicine intravenously. A team of researchers from MIT and Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) has developed a new type of nanoparticle that could afford patients the choice – potentially making uncomfortable injections a thing of the past in the treatment of a range of chronic diseases. Read More
There could be hope for diabetics who are tired of giving themselves insulin injections on a daily basis. Researchers at North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are developing a system in which a single injection of nanoparticles could deliver insulin internally for days at a time – with a little help from pulses of ultrasound. Read More
Researchers at the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) have developed a generalized method of blending two different types of nanoparticles into a single large-scale composite material using synthetic DNA strands. The technique has great potential for designing a vast range of new nanomaterials with precise electrical, mechanical or magnetic properties.Read More
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have found a way to harvest energy from sunlight more efficiently, with the help of so-called plasmonic nanostructures. The new findings suggest that plasmonic components can enhance and direct optical scattering, creating a mechanism that is more efficient than the photoexcitation that drives solar cells. The development could therefore provide a real boost to solar cell efficiency and lead to faster optical communication.Read More
Last year, researchers at Rice University revealed a new way to convert solar energy directly into steam using light-absorbing nanoparticles. At that time, the technology had already been used to create a solar steam-powered autoclave for sterilizing medical and dental equipment and the project had been awarded a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to turn the technology to the task of sanitizing human waste. The researchers have now put both applications to the test.Read More
LED light bulbs may be more energy-efficient and longer-lived than their incandescent equivalents, but they're also considerably more expensive to purchase. This is largely because rare earth elements (REEs) are used in their phosphors. There are hazards involved in the mining and processing of REEs, plus China is responsible for almost the entire world's supply, so they're becoming increasingly pricey. Now, however, scientists have come up with a plentiful alternative material that they say is much more environmentally friendly, and that should drive down the price of LEDs. Read More
Some of the most vividly colored materials in nature, including things like butterfly wings, don't obtain their color from pigment. Instead, their internal structure reflects light at a given wavelength, producing a specific color. Opals are another example of something that utilizes this effect. In collaboration with Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Structural Durability and System Reliability, scientists from the University of Cambridge have now copied the colorful nanostructure of the opal. The result is a flexible, colorful material that won't fade over time, that changes color when stretched, and that could have many applications. Read More
According to American Cancer Society estimates, lung cancer will account for 27 percent of all US cancer deaths in 2013, making it by far the leading cause of cancer death among both men and women. Part of the problem is getting the toxic chemotherapeutic drugs used to treat the cancer into the lungs. A new drug delivery system aims to overcome this problem by allowing the drugs to be inhaled, thereby delivering the drug where it is needed while reducing the harmful effects to other organs.Read More
According to a joint World Health Organization/UNICEF report issued this week, an estimated 768 million people relied on unimproved drinking-water sources in 2011, with 185 million of these relying on surface water to meet their daily drinking-water needs. WHO and UNICEF have set a 2030 target for everyone to have access to a safe drinking-water supply and new water-purifying "nanoscavengers" developed by researchers at Stanford University could help achieve this goal.Read More
Aside from the inconvenience of injecting insulin multiple times a day, type 1 diabetics also face health risks if the dosage level isn't accurate. A new approach developed by US researchers has the potential to overcome both of these problems. The method relies on a network of nanoscale particles that once injected into the body, can maintain normal blood sugar levels for more than a week by releasing insulin when blood-sugar levels rise.

STOD03ADual DC-DC converter for powering AMOLED display
- Obsolete
The STOD03A is a dual DC-DC converter for AMOLED display panels. It integrates a step-up and an inverting DC-DC converter making it particularly suitable for battery operated products, in which the major concern is overall system efficiency. It works in pulse skipping mode during low load conditions and PWM-MODE at 1.5 MHz frequency for medium/high load conditions. The high frequency allows the value and size of external components to be reduced. The Enable pin allows the device to be turned off, therefore reducing the current consumption to less than 1 μA. The negative output voltage can be programmed by an MCU through a dedicated pin which implements single-wire protocol. Soft-start with controlled inrush current limit and thermal shutdown are integrated functions of the device.

The amazing IVF women of AT:TNL continue on towards their BFPs and THBs!
Same as it ever was:
Since this is a continuation thread please refer to the spreadsheet linked at the bottom & keep your info up to date! It's a good way to keep track of everyone since the thread moves so fast.
1- NO BETAS OR MENTIONS OF OTHER CHILDREN ARE ALLOWED ON THIS THREAD. This thread has many woman dealing with primary infertility. Show some respect and common decency, or don't post here.
2- Looking for IVF do's and don'ts? Here is a wonderful post chock full of information: http://community.babycenter.com/post/a50634826/ivf_cycle_dos_and_donts_-_can_we_make_a_list
3- If you are new to the AT:TNL board, please take the time to read the Featured Post and familiarize yourself with our board rules, particularly concerning drive-by BFP posts.
4- If you are not a regular, recognized member of this board, you can not post your BFP on this board, including in this thread. We encourage you to get involved as an active member of this board while you are preparing for and/or going through IVF.
If you want to post here, we only ask that you become an active member of this thread. We all have struggled to get where we are. We welcome the support, encouragement, shoulder to cry on, ect from everyone! But, it isn't so helpful when a newbie comes to the thread and they're only post is "I got my BFP from IVF!" and nothing else. It isn't that we aren't happy for you - It's just that isn't what this thread is for. We have all become close & are very supportive & protective of each other. We want you to be one of us, but that takes you being part of the group! We just ask that you participate in the convo. That's all. Any disruptions & drive by BFP announcements will be reported to the GO's. Thank you in advance for understanding!!

Tattoo Removal
Penny Mommy to: Brady 2/04 Britney 10/06
Penny Mommy to: Brady 2/04 Britney 10/06
Kelly. Mommy to 3 beautiful children: Grace Elizabeth 12/10/06, Brady Alan 12/10/07, and Blake Andrew 3/23/09
DH got a deal when he went, but has done 3 big sessions. He wasnt looking to completely remove the tattoo though, just lighten it to cover it up.
amy. wife to anthony
never was there ever a girl so pretty ♥ Hope 9.3.10
Basically what pp said. I spent around $2000 for about 8 treatments that hurt like a bitch. It's now faded but not gone. Black is easiest to get rid of. Blue, not so much.
Why I'd be delighted to put my needs last again.
Do you guys think it was worth it even though it just faded it? If you could go back in time, would you still do it?
Penny Mommy to: Brady 2/04 Britney 10/06
I'm in the middle of it right now. My tat is on my arm and all black. Each session is $225. First was ok, 2nd session was very painful with a lot of blistering. But a lot of ink came off. I just worry about skin discoloration and scarring.
Mine best described it as looking down at a book. From a top view, you can't see how deep it is, so it can be hard to judge how many sessions you need. If you have colors in your tat, then it could take longer.
Penny Mommy to: Brady 2/04 Britney 10/06
About 20 years ago my dad has his removed. His tats were the old school one color on each forearm. He still has pink/white scars from the laser removal. They are not as prominent as they once were, but they don't blend in.
Of course, this was 20 years ago, the process could be better now.
So I am holding out...either the technology of tattoo removal wil get better due to demand or I wont be too annoyed by my tattoo because a lot of other people my age have much wackier, awful looking work than me >.
