In San Jose, California, over 3,000 attendees from 50 countries attended 450 sessions and visited 83 exhibitors at
's annual
GPU Technology Conference (GTC)
. Although media and entertainment as a market segment is dwarfed by scientific and engineering uses of the company's GPU technology, GTC highlighted numerous exciting sessions in the M&E space, topped by a keynote with Douglas Trumbull.
I had never heard NVIDIA CEO/co-founder Jen-Hsun Huang speak, and he lived up to his reputation as an incredibly dynamic presenter. He spoke about the breakthroughs in computer graphics in the last year, gave an update of GPU computing and explained the road map into the next "click" of NVIDIA's technology. Furthermore, he updated the idea of remote and virtualized graphics introduced last year and introduced new technology.
NVIDIA CEO/co-founder Jen-Hsun Huang
Much of what he discussed was spot-on relevant to the media & entertainment community. Huang first showed Wave Works, a real-time Beaufort-scale ocean simulation. "Wave simulation is where science, art and engineering meet," he said, noting that the ocean in
Life of Pi
was "state of the art." He played with Wave Works, showing the audience, in real-time, how the velocity of the wind, waves, spray, and foam all behaved as he dialed up the Beaufort scale from a calm 3 to a gale-level 10.
Huang also showed advanced real-time character performance with Face Works. Noting that creating a believable CG human face is extremely hard, Huang showed examples of successful and less successful CG faces, noting the term "uncanny Valley" for human-like CG faces that "get sufficiently real until they fall off a cliff and become creepy." "We've been working on rendering the human face for years, and it's an endeavor worthwhile."

There's a fine line between an image that the human psyche connects with as reality and the steep drop off in the "uncanny valley." At this point, the image begins to become "creepy."
He then showed the results of a partnership between NVIDIA and
ICT (Institute of Creative Technologies)
, itself a partnership between the University of Southern California and the U.S. Army. Digital Ira is a CG face that looks incredibly real. "This is one of the reasons we created Titan," he said, referring to NVIDIA's supercomputer graphics card. "Titan takes 8,000 instructions to articulate all the meshes. It's about 2 teraflops." He suggested that "every important person should have a scan done to create so much fidelity," and noted it was ideal for videoconferencing, gaming and other uses.
Hsung reported the success of GPU computing, saying that 430 million CUDA-capable GPUs have shipped among other data. "It's clear that if we're not at the tipping point, we're racing towards it," he said. "Of the
top 500 super computers
, being built for scientific applications - we represented 20 percent of these."
Detailing NVIDIA's roadmap for the future, Hsung showed the evolution of the GPU from Tesla to Fermi, Kepler and, next up, Maxwell with a unified virtual memory and improved programmability. After that comes Volta - named after the inventor of the battery - which will be more energy-efficient and introduced a new technology called Stacked DRAM. "It will solve access to memory bandwidth, one of the biggest challenges with GPUs today," he said, noting Volta will offer 1 terabyte per second of bandwidth. Going over the Tegra roadmap, Huang drew applause when he introduced Logan, "the world's first mobile processor with CUDA" that will fit into a chip the size of a dime, require no fans and offer higher performance than Kayla. Logan is expected to appear later this year and will ship early next year. Beyond Logan is Parker. "We're hewing to Moore's Law," said Huang. "You should expect each generation the Tegra processor brings something enormously surprising from the past."
Huang described the specific capabilities designed into NVIDIA's different cards and the evolution of the GPU.
Huang talks about how "The Life of Pi" was made using NVIDIA GPU technology, at GTC 2013.
NVIDIA's big technology reveal of the show was GRID, "the world's first visual computing appliance." "GRID is 16 virtual machines that can be connected to whatever you like," he said.
Everyone can have a powerful workstation on their desk. The computer in the background runs the application, and does it so fast you think it's being generated by your own computer. They all think they have a super workstation on their desk. If you have 50 users on the network, you can see how the price/value is translated."

He showed
3d studio max operating on a Mac and how easily he could switch to
Premiere. Next, he showed
4K footage that NVIDIA shot as a demo, pointing out that 4K footage was processed in real-time. "You can jump between applications, as if you had multiple workstations, as if you had your own personal high-end PC under your desk," he said.
Huang brought up Jules Urbach, founder and CEO of
, which worked with Autodesk to create a "next generation cloud-rendering platform." and Josh Trank, director of
Fantastic Four
. They showed OTOY's Octane Render Cloud Edition, which is a rack of GRID appliances working together to create VFX shots. Urbach and Trank demonstrated it running from Los Angeles, with 120 GPUs connected to the window; the wireframe rendered in less than a second. "We can get final film quality in a few seconds," said Urbach, who also showed real-time responses to moving the camera and changing the lighting. "It's all there, completely controllable and integrated into every Autodesk product and many others. You can now tell a story in 3D very easily."
GRID starts at $24,900 for a base pack of 8 GPUs and system memory of 192GB; the Max version is $39,900 with 16 GPUs, 32 CPU threads and 384 GB, plus $4,800 a year software license. Both are unlimited devices.
Douglas Trumbull
gave another
keynote [watch on USTREAM]
, giving attendees a glimpse into his production studios in the Berkshires and talking about filmmaking without locations or sets. He's already in post production on a 10-minute demo project that was shot at 120 fps in 3D, using
C500 cameras with
recorders and mounted on
3D rigs.
is helping with storage solutions. "We're putting this together on a shoestring," Trumbull admitted. "Many talented people are contributing their energy."
Douglas Trumbull at his Berkshires Studio
He gave credit to some of those people, including Timothy Huber at
Theory Consulting
, Steve Roberts at
and Paul Lacombe at
, all of who were at GTC. "Eyeon offers an amazing suite of tools from soup to nuts," said Trumbull. "It allowed us to look at dailies at 120 fps, do our post pipeline, update shots and with a direct link to
MC. It's a systemic approach that is far superior to any solution out there."
Stewart Filmscreen
built the screen and
Christie Digital
provided the projectors in his Berkshires immersive screening room.
Trumbull also announced that he just received a patent on
Showscan Digital
for an unusual process he's described in the past: dynamically changing the frame rate on any scene, shot, sequence, pixel, similar to color grading. "Dynamically changing the frame rate would prevent material from looking like TV," he said, noting that it "may not be appropriate for some scenes."
The goal, he said, is to make movies that make the viewer feel like he's a part of the movie. "A first person, not a third person experience," he said. "Extremely bright and sharp with no blurring or strobing or flickering and a wide field of view gives a window into reality. It's very unconventional; it's happening and happening directly to you, not through another character." Part of the experience is a hemispheric screen, which Trumbull has also been experimenting with. He credits his work on
as a source of continuing inspiration to him and others.
"We're pushing the envelope of virtual production," he continued, noting that Unreal's facilities are in his Berkshires studio. "We're heading to make feature films with no sets or locations; an extreme version that costs way less. Tentpoles cost $300M and I think that's crazy and dysfunctional. I'd like to do it for a lot less." He encouraged imitators: "If you can learn anything from what we're doing, go with it."
He also discussed the history of Cinerama and 70mm film - enthusing about the Cinerama documentary by Dave Strohmeier - and expressing his disappointment that multiplexes replaced the spectacle of large screens. With HFR 3D from both Peter Jackson and James Cameron, "history is repeating itself," said Trumbull. "Everyone else is going to have to understand if they want to be part of the future of entertainment, they have to look at games, which is a much larger business than movies," he said. "There's a lesson to be learned there about what people want. What I'm doing, you don't get a joystick, but you get to be inside it!"
Trumbull also has entrepreneurial plans. "My business plans are about making a new enterprise, from production to distribution to new, immersive theatres," he said, noting that he helped to take IMAX public. "We're looking for investors and we're probably coming to this town to look for them. Tablets and iPads are subsuming all the convenience offered by multiplexes. If we want people to go to theatres, they have to see spectacular experiences they can't get on an iPad or home theatre system. That's my agenda."
In addition to keynotes, there were a large number of smaller sessions, which covered 70 topic areas. Media & Entertainment was well covered. Theory Consulting's Huber described Trumbull's HFR near-time review and editorial pipeline, which enables him to playback footage at full resolution. The pipeline also enables Trumbull's team to quickly extract a matte from the greenscreen RAW image sequence, use the camera motion data to composite the foreground motion locked to the background plate, render and playback in stereo, all within 5 to 10 minutes after the footage has been shot.
's Tracy McSheery talked about "Super Resolution: High Frame Rate Stereo Capture Technology," and showed examples of his company's optical motion capture system. PhaseSpace created a 4-megapixel camera for the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy that allows capture of 2D and 3D at 100 fps at 4-megapixel resolution and 200 fps for HD resolution.
Unreel CEO Lacombe described his company's work in virtual sets at Douglas Trumbull's headquarters in the Berkshires. "Six people represent over 60 man years of focus in this very narrow area of real-time graphics with real-time camera tracking and keying," he said. He also showed Unreel's work with ESPN in augmented reality, which adds CGI to the real world. Lacombe also showed the virtual set work the company had done on the movie
Oz: the Great and Powerful
, in scenes such as the dark forest and top of the city. "It's a big experiment: how do you get the big look and hold down costs," he asked. "The answer is there are lots of virtual sets in the movie."
's Vice President of Imaging Sciences/Technical Director Joachim Zell presented "Post Production Facility in a Box," describing the company's services on location, including dailies and color.
MTI Film
Vice President Dave McClure talked about dailies and transcoding. "Transcoding has to be faster than real time," he said. "The rest can just be real-time. None of this is possible without the GPU."
Read our coverage of Daniel Simons' gorgeous work
Nicholas Recaagno, post supervisor/online stereographer and
SGO Mistika
Product Specialist, talked about "HFR Post Production Workflows: From Digital Acquisition to Processing and Screening." He showed some sample videos to highlight key considerations of frame conversion and camera shutter angle, and also looked at solutions and technology challenges in the post production workflow from dailies, editing, finishing to delivery. That included looking at how users view and QC 48 fps material. "There is no
standard or a valid HD-SDI video signal that can be audited," he said, and enumerated possible solutions.

I look forward to GTC 2014.

Product Details
This chic pointed-toe heel is a wardrobe workhorse—and a collector's dream.
Size & Fit Details
Everly suede pumps
Rated 5 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kreyfish The perfect tall heel for wide feet This is my first product review...ever. These shoes are that good. I bought my first pair for a cocktail event and was able to wear them all night with no problem. I then bought these in three other colors. I can wear them all day at work without any discomfort. I can walk blocks in them. I have wide feet. These are my tallest heels. I can't believe how comfortable they are. I hope they bring these back in more colors as I'll buy them all. One last thing--the description for this shoe states the toebox is small and to size up. I have wide feet and did not find this to be an issue at all; I bought my regular 7.5 size. June 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by AussieMom Gorgeous! Bought the black suede and love them! I have trouble with JCrew shoes sizing. I bought these in 7 but they were too tight and small in the toe so I exchanged them for a 7H and they fit great. A little wide now in the rest of the shoe but manageable. I am normally a 7H but in the past I've had to buy JCrew shoes in 7 otherwise their too wide; but those shoes were flats or ballet style. But in this pump I was back to a 7H. Hope this helps those gals with inbetween sizes. They do make my legs look amazing! May 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dana Perfect Pump Although the sizing is a little large (not enough to go down a half size), this is the perfect pump for any occasion. The colors are beautiful - I own two pairs of the Everly pumps and they're my go-tos. I wear them with everything: denim, dresses, printed pants. They just work. June 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by CAGIRL Freakishly Comfortable! These are my tallest and most comfortable heels. I wear them out and walk all night many city blocks. I usually go for shorter heels, but these make your legs look lean and long and are painless for the office or night on the town. I have three pairs and will keep buying more! May 26, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by smellmyknee It's just fright This item performs exactly as named - it's a saddle. Very comfortable. We ordered the blue and it is as pictured. Good quality from Frontgate, as we've come to expect. May 26, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by LeeG Great! We love our saddle floating pool chairs! Very comfortable to sit on and just the right amount of buoyancy. Much more expensive than a traditional "wacky noodle" but worth it. May 25, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by mhueso Best Pool Chair EVER!! So living in California we have weather beautiful even in Feb! We used these swim chairs for the first time as soon as they arrived and I absolutely love them! you can float in comfort and not feel like your going to tip over! We bought 2 but I loved them so much I might just by one more! Thanks for this amazing comfy/usable floating chair. March 2, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Goggy Great product Great thumbs up. I first tried my sisters when I was visiting her in Ca. Last summer. I bought one as soon as I got home and bought another for this summer, so I don't have to share with my daughter and friends.I Love my pool saddle.I use it to get exercise and tread and read my emails in pool. Yes, I have waterproof iPhone case. April 2, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by MAKP Fabulous I recently moved to a house with a pool and needed to purchase some kind of floatation for the pool and grandkids. When I saw these great little floats, I knew these would possibly work. When the grandkids and Poppy tried them out and absolutely loved them I knew it was a perfect match. The size is perfect. Not too big and they don't take up much room in the pool or in storage. They are no larger than a big pillow. We all are so happy. September 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cincylori Great multi purpose float I use this for in the pool as a float/chair and also to sit on at side of pool so as to not snag my swim suit. I know frontgate also sells specific pads for side of pool but they were out of the color I liked so I use the saddle float for both purposes!! August 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lakeman Aqua Saddle I tried one of the aqua saddle on my boat for when we stop to flout the lake. It was so popular that I had to go back and order 2 more to have enough for everyone. August 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by OklahomaMomofTwo XL Aqua Saddle Floating Pool Chair in Lime Green We used these at a friends pool and loved them, so I bought a pair of our own. Very comfortable and bouyant, really like staying in the saddle or on a horse as you keep your balance in the water. Easy and fun to use. My husband and I are a little taller than average height but average weight, so I still went with the XL size for the extra length it provided and am very happy with it. I do wish it came in other colors but the green went well with our outdoors colors and decor. I hope they hold up well for next season. August 13, 2014

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Blood tests done on 97 state employees who had worked in the former National Guard Armory in Helena indicated they were not at risk of overexposure to lead.
The state Department of Environmental Quality closed the building on Oct. 28 after finding lead levels up to 40 times higher than federal standards in ceilings throughout the building. Follow-up air tests revealed acceptable lead levels.
The state Department of Administration has blood test results from 97 people and only two indicated slightly elevated lead levels. Dr. Michael Kosnett of the University of Colorado School of Medicine concluded that current and former employees are not at risk of overexposure.
The Independent Record reports (http://bit.ly/1m1mYkv ) not all state employees who have worked at the Armory have been notified about the testing.

The Southwestern Historical Quarterly
tionary; and an "Address on the life and character of Samuel A.
Maverick," delivered October -, 1870, before the Alamo Literary
Society, by George Cupples, M. D.
The Memoirs abound in incidents of homely frontier life, are
replete with affectionate household carefulness, show congenial
interest in the welfare of friends and neighbors, and leave an im-
pression of profound admiration for their author, whose splendid
character qualified her to endure such hardships, privations and
sorrows with the fortitude of a heroine, the sublime patience and
faith of a Christian wife and mother.
Reminiscences: Biographical and Historical. By Randolph Clark.
Wichita Falls: Lee Clark, 119. 8vo., pp. 85.
This modest little volume is a tribute from one brother to an-
other. A preliminary chapter sketches the life and times of Joseph
Addison Clark, parent. The main portion of the book is devoted
to Addison Clark, son. About the life of this Texan pioneer edu-
cator are grouped some interesting events in the early history of

But I'm facing a problem with that. Actually, I'm experiencing that I'm getting slow computer performance and CPU usage increases greatly extended. Prior to the installation of that, my CPU uses 25 to 30 percent of the CPU and after installing the CPU uses increased to 70 to 80 percent. Many times, I found that reaches 100 percent. As a result, the processing speed of other applications on my computer also reduced. Before that, I was using AVG security, and that I was showing this issue. Can you tell me what's wrong with this and how can it be resolved?

Schools locked down on gunfireJanuary 16,2014
BRADFORD — Vermont State Police were called to Bradford Wednesday to help investigate an incident that led to the death of a local businessman and caused the temporary lockdown of schools in the area.
Shortly before noon the Bradford Police Department responded to Bradford Village Pizza, located on Main Street in Bradford, to assist with a medical call. When responders arrived they discovered that the owner of the business, who was identified as Christian Cameron, 35, of Bradford, had suffered a single gunshot wound to his head.
Cameron was transported to the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, in New Hampshire, and was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
The local elementary school, Oxbow High School and the Riverbend Career and Tech Center were locked down for 25 minutes until police notified the schools that there was no threat to students.
Police do not suspect foul play.
"I am not going to confirm what the nature of that incident was, but can assure you that there is no public danger whatsoever. Because, there was a lot of speculation... in the infancy stages of this incident when we first arrived, but there is absolutely no public danger whatsoever," Bradford Police Chief Jeffrey Stiegler said.

I read the Oct. 12 front-page story about an Occupy Vancouver rally. How does that merit front-page coverage? Could it be that they're against greed and that's newsworthy enough? As a Tea Partyer, I'm against greed too, yet several days prior the Americans for Prosperity was barely mentioned — a couple of paragraphs announcing the Oct. 4 rally buried deep within the pages of this newspaper.
The greed we should be concerned with is government greed that has direct ramifications for us and indirect ramifications for our children and grandchildren.
The well-being of the Republic demands we cut spending now and move back toward a constitutionally defined government.
As for corporate greed — fire them and take your business elsewhere.

LUCERNE, Switzerland - CalBears.com Video Feature With Teti and Vlahos | KTVU Video Feature on Teti and Vlahos
California men's crew head coach Mike Teti and former Golden Bear coxswain Zach Vlahos are headed to London for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games. Teti, head coach of the U.S. men's eight, and Vlahos, the coxswain of the boat, advanced after winning at the Olympic Qualification Regatta this morning in Lucerne, Switzerland.
In the final, the U.S. clocked a time of 5:36.11 to beat New Zealand (5:40.02) and France (5:46.35). The Americans led from start to finish. They were the top seed in the final after a dominating victory in the preliminary heats on Sunday.
Had the U.S. not won this race, it would have been the first Summer Olympics where the U.S. was not represented in the men's eight event.
As the U.S. head coach from 1997 to 2008, the eights coached by Teti have won world championships in 1997, 98, 99, and 2005, and were Olympic champions in 2004 and bronze medalists in 2008. Most recently, Teti coached the U.S. Under-23 eight to a world championship this past summer in Amsterdam, Netherlands. His 2004 Olympic eight and 2011 Under-23 eights both currently hold the world's best times in their respective events.
Vlahos coxed at Cal under Teti and later was a volunteer assistant coach on his staff last season. A native of Piedmont, Calif., Vlahos graduated in 2010 with a degree in interdisciplinary studies. As a senior in 2010, Vlahos coxed Cal's varsity eight to a national championship at the IRA Regatta.
Vlahos joins Olivier Siegelaar of the Dutch National team as former Cal rowers who have qualified for the Olympics. There are still a number of former Bears who have a chance to advance to London, including Canada's Spencer Crowley and Serbia's Jovan Popovic.
The 2012 Summer Olympics take place from July 27-Aug. 12 in London, England. The men's eight events will begin on July 28, and the final will take place on Aug. 1.

Although the role of the Dutch in Early American history has been largely ignored, the facts are that New Netherland antedates New England, and religious toleration and ethnic diversity in the United States began with the Dutch.
Why isn't this better known and taught in our schools? Because, until now an easy to read, short introduction to the history of New Netherland has been lacking. Firth Haring Fabend of Montclair, NJ, a recognized historian of the field, was commissioned by the New Netherland Institute to write New Netherland in a Nutshell (New Netherland Institute, 2012) to fill the gap.

fillet can apply only in line only
Hi Aron
Fillet option is not available in the package symbol(.DRA)..u can follow bellow steps
*Draw the shape of required dimensions in the board file(.BRD)
*Decompose the shape using SHAPE---->Decompose ,select Class--->ETCH ,SUBCLASS---->TOP in the option tab
*Now try to fillet using Manifacture------>Dimension--------->Fillet
*After that compose the shape Decompose the shape using SHAPE---->compose ,select Class--->ETCH ,SUBCLASS---->TOP in the option tab
*Now export the shape as subdrawing....File--->Export--->Subdrawing
*Import the subdrawing to your Package Symbol (.DRA)
You can apply fillets in the DRA mode. I do it all the time and just went and double-checked what works.
You CAN NOT apply fillets to rectangles entered using the Place-->>Rectangle command. Fillets apply to lines only.
Use the Dimension-->>Fillet command. Make sure to set the radius you want in the OPTIONS panel. If your segments are not long enough to accomodate the fillet the command will not create the fillet and will give an error message at the bottom of the screen.
Best of Luck,
In reply to BuddSw:
If you need to convert the lines to a shape after you've created the fillet you can do that by using the Shape - Compose Shape command.
In reply to budnoelnew:
Hi Budd,
Thank you for your useful hint. I want to know if I can apply Shape->Compose for package Keepin & Route Keepin as well. When I try to apply it to those mentioned classes I see below messages and nothing changes.
Select the lines / line segments to be composed into shape(s).Enter selection pointlast pick: 5706.00 0.06Processing the selected segments. For a large number of segments, this may take a few minutes.Use the "Close Shape" option from the RMB popup to close any shape(s) left open.A total of 1 shapes were created.Enter selection pointW- (SPMHA1-233): Package keepin rectangle already exists.last pick: 5709.85 2.44Enter selection point
Is there anything wrong with my settings or not?
Another question is raised regarding on the reverse action. Can I change the composed shape to that 90 degree corners or not?
I would appreciate any help on this issue.

Technology-Supported Mathematics Environments: Telecollaboration in a Secondary Statistics Classroom
Staley, John, Moyer-Packenham, Patricia, Lynch, Monique C., Australian Mathematics Teacher
The Internet, an exciting and radically different medium infiltrating pop culture, business, and education, is also a powerful educational tool with teaching and learning potential for mathematics. Web-based instructional tools allow students and teachers to actively and interactively participate in the learning process (Lynch, Moyer, Frye & Suh, 2002). The ways teachers use these tools can have a profound effect on the teaching and learning of mathematics.
One way web-based instructional tools can be used in teaching and learning mathematics is through telecollaboration. Harris (1998) defines three categories of "telecollaboration" activities: interpersonal exchange, information collection and analysis, and problem solving. Under these three categories are 18 activity structures that can be used to classify and describe the types of web-based learning projects and activities currently used in education. These structures range from "keypals," which enables students to collaborate on a specific curriculum-based task via email to "parallel problem-solving," which lets students solve problems together and share their solutions and problem-solving processes. Each structure allows students and teachers to use various forms of technology to communicate and collaborate around a common goal.
Telecollaboration has the potential to create authentic contexts and problem-solving environments for students, ultimately providing students with opportunities to apply their mathematics skills in a real-world context outside of the classroom. This article describes how one teacher used a telecollaboration project in his high school statistics course. It demonstrates how effective technology use can enhance students' learning of challenging mathematics content.
Choosing a telecollaboration project
An abundant supply of telecollaboration projects currently exist. Some projects are conducted synchronously on a fixed timeline while others take place asynchronously with ongoing timelines. Announcements of new and ongoing projects appear on listservs and in newsletters on a regular basis. The authors learned about the project chosen in this article through the HILITES listserv (email@example.com) distributed by Global Schoolnet's Global Schoolhouse Organization (http://www.gsn.org/lists/hilites.html).
Choosing an appropriate telecollaboration project is important. Teachers should search for a project on the topic they wish to explore and then review all of the information provided before deciding to participate. In addition to curriculum connections, teachers need to consider many other elements including timelines, interaction requirements, availability of technology and technical support at their schools, required supplies and materials, and school or district restrictions related to student access to email or the Internet. Teachers may want to consider choosing a simple project or participating with another teacher in the building for their first telecollaboration experiences.
The target in this case was a high school statistics course, so the project search was fairly narrow. The authors wanted to find a synchronous project that would take place near the beginning of the spring semester of the school year to coincide with the beginning of the statistics course for the semester. An information collection and analysis telecollaboration project called Fruit Loops to the Max: Online Project Spring 2003 was selected (www.technospud.com/projects/frootloops/ frootloops.htm). This project was directed by Jennifer Wagner of Technospud.com (http://www.technospud.com). The timeline was a perfect match, and the content fitted very well with the plans for the course. Two high school statistics classes registered for the project.
The Fruit Loops telecollaboration project attracted over 300 participating classes from five countries. This amounted to hundreds of thousands of Fruit Loops counted and reported which resulted in an extensive database of information. …

Tinh's Group
Tinh's primary business challenge is the lack of money to buy cattle feed and the fact that the income from selling eggs is low. Her dream is to have a bigger and cleaner farm. This loan is one step toward helping her reach this dream. With the loan, she will buy more ducks and build more cotes. She has participated in SEDA's credit program since 2009. In the last loan cycle, she borrowed 9,632,000 VND and repaid her loan on time. In this loan cycle, she would like to borrow 10,528,000 VND in order to build more cotes and buy more chicken feed.
Other members who are part of Tinh's group include the following:
Nga, age 54, sells groceries. She is requesting a loan in the amount of 10,528,000 VND to invest in her business. She has two children.
Lu, age 23, is a carpenter. She would like to borrow 10,080,000 VND to invest in her business. She has three children.
Nghi , age 44, sells vegetables and fruits in the market. She wants to borrow 6,944,000 VND to invest in her business. She has four children.
Tuan, age 39, breeds chickens. He is requesting a 6,944,000 VND loan to buy chicken feed. He has five children.
Additional Information
About SEDA:The Center of Small Enterprise Development Assistance (SEDA) is a non-profit organization whose vision is to create "a society without poverty." Founded in 2004, SEDA provides microfinance services to low-income and disadvantaged people in rural areas of Hanoi and the northern provinces of Vietnam through its Binh Minh Micro-Finance Program.
You can also join SEDA's lending team to assist SEDA in continuing to support its portfolio of borrowers.
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.

Water You Wading For is an episode of the Happy Tree Friends internet series, the sixth of the first season. This episode introduces Flaky, the nervous female porcupine with dandruff in her quills, her friendship with Cuddles, and how this friendship can get the two of them into trouble.
HTF Episode Description
Cuddles is always trying to lure scared Flaky into some sort of trouble! In this episode, Cuddles wants Flaky to join him in the local swim hole... little does he know that what you don't see beneath the water can hurt you!
The episode begins with Cuddles jumping into a small pond, apparently having a relaxing swim. Cuddles tries to encourage the new Happy Tree Friend porcupine, Flaky to jump in. Flaky refuses, pointing to a "No Swimming" sign. Despite this, Cuddles still encourages Flaky to jump in. But Cuddles will soon learn there's a reason why the sign is there.
After Cuddles encourages Flaky to jump in again, bubbles start to form around him. Suddenly, a bunch of vicious piranhas jump out of the water and start attacking Cuddles. Flaky stands in shock, frantically looking around while trying to find a way to help her friend. Next, Cuddles start getting tossed around like a beach ball by a couple seals. Flaky attempts to help, but she doesn't do very well, as she tries to reach Cuddles with a short stick from a far away tree. One of the seals tosses Cuddles back on land, who is now slightly battered up. Before Cuddles gets the chance to do anything, an alligator pops out and chomps on Cuddles. The alligator resurfaces and Cuddles struggles in vain to keep its jaw open. Flaky, who just thought of something, tells Cuddles to stay there, while she runs off.
Cuddles, now missing the lower half of his body and brutally injured, starts crawling away. But before he can go far enough, a giant whale pops out and lands on top of Cuddles, crushing and killing him in a pile of blood and guts. Flaky, who now holds a life preserver with a rope, throws it onto Cuddles' crushed remains. Realizing that she was too late to save her desperate friend, Flaky starts pulling back the life preserver while laughing nervously to the audience.
"Don't breathe under water!"
- Cuddles is crushed by a whale.
- Cuddles is tortured by many different animals.
- Between the Mondo logo and the intro, there is a blank screen that separates the two. This is fixed in the Classics Remastered version.
- Cuddles' position in the lake seems to change several times.
- When Cuddles tries to convince Flaky to jump in, his pink cheeks layer over his mouth in a few frames.
- When Cuddles is attacked by the piranhas, his pink cheeks do not appear on his face. Also, the bite marks on his body do not appear until he is about to be attacked by the crocodile, even though they should appear when he's being played with by the seals.
- There are two seals playing with Cuddles, but later, when Flaky is in the scene, there is only one. The other seal may have left though.
- When the two seals are playing with Cuddles, his body is one piece, but when he is tossed on land, his right ear has bite marks and most of his left ear is gone.
- When the alligator appears about to bite Cuddles, the water splash from the alligator can be seen in front of Cuddles' left ear.
- When Cuddles is thrown on land, the alligator bites down on him and it leaves blood behind. When the alligator tries to eat Cuddles, however, Cuddles isn't bleeding.
- When Cuddles is on land and his lower body is eaten by the alligator, his blood is red, but when the whale lands on him, it is orange.
- When the whale comes out of the water (before it crushes Cuddles), the alligator bite in the ground has disappeared.
Quick Shot Moment
In the scene before Cuddles gets crushed by the whale, there is a brief shot of Cuddles in the alligator's mouth.
Note: This is fixed in the Classics Remastered versions from YouTube and Mondomedia.com.
- This is the first episode in which a main character is killed by an animal that is not a main character.
- Flaky is the first character to break the fourth wall, as she nervously laughs to the viewers after she fails to save Cuddles in time.
- This episode makes Cuddles the second character to be reincarnated for another episode.
- This is the first time Cuddles' death is not caused by another main character.
- This is, so far, the only starring role in which Flaky survives that is not debatable.
- This episode is one of two episodes to have a title with a pun on water; the other episode is Water Way to Go.
- This is the first episode not to feature a blue main character.
- Cuddles' death is similar to Sniffles' death in As You Wish.
- This is one of only two Season 1 episodes to have a moral that has anything to do with the episode, instead of just a random piece of advice like "Read a book" or "Eat your veggies!". The other is Nuttin' but the Tooth.
- This episode makes Flaky the first main character to survive her debut without either injuring or killing herself or another character.

Policymakers are frequently interested in soliciting unbiased information regarding alternative policies, and expert surveys can be influential. As ranking policies is an often subjective process, there is always the concern of bias, both intentional and not. Expert bias is difficult to discern in the policy world, but surveys of expert opinion are compiled and "tested" for accuracy weekly in college football, allowing for hypothesis testing. Although previous research has used college football rankings to determine the ability of surveys to incorporate relevant information, this article examines the Associated Press and American Football Coaches' Association rankings for evidence of systematic bias. Specifically, more than 1,300 games from the 2003 to 2008 regular seasons are tested for factors that are systematically correlated with upsets. Both polls predict the winner nearly 80% of the time, and although there is evidence of systematic conference bias, correcting the rankings would only improve the accuracy of the polls by about 1%. There is no evidence of a bias favoring "big market" teams, nor teams that have strong journalism programs or are from the East Coast. (JEL D4, L8)

When is the best time to take effexor xr? Morning noon or night?

I took this for many years and tried both but the best was at night as it helps you relax, you get tired on the drug and arent supposed to operate heavy machinery until your body gets used to it so best at bedtime. Youll get a wondrful nite sleep and hopefully dont wake up dizzy from it.
its a week i am taking effexor xr 300mg at 4 pm and next morning iam getting up really dizzy.but when i am taking it in the morning i feel tired and sleepy all day. what can i do ?
23 Jul 2010
Amanda1525, I took Effexor xr in the morning for years as that was how it was prescribed. But, I always felt so tired out and sleepy. Finally, about six months ago I switched it to bedtime and I now I get a good night sleep which I was never got before, because I have insommia, without the feeling of being so dragged out & tired all day long. Talk to my Dr and she said it was ok I long as I took it. So what I'm saying is experiment & find out what works for you. Everyone is different.

BMI View: The Lundbeck case sets a precedent for both EU and US regulatory handling of drug company anticompetitive practices. The fine imposed on Lundbeck by the EU came two days after the US Supreme Court said US regulators could challenge deals between drugmakers because of the resulting higher consumer costs. We believe the authorities' increasing focus on pay-for-delay deals aligns with government focus on increasing patient consumption of lower value generic medicines in the face of strained public finances and escalating healthcare budgets.
The European Union (EU) has fined Lundbeck EUR93.8mn (US$123.9mn) for blocking the supply of generic versions of its anti-depressant citalopram. A five-year investigation carried out by the European Commission provided evidence that Lundbeck paid a number of drugmakers and purchased stocks of the generic drugs to inhibit their sale - in effect offering companies guaranteed profits, rather than permitting competition that would have lead to a decline in the price of citalopram, once its patent expired in 2002. The ruling also imposed fines of a total EUR52mn (US$68mn) on the recipients, including Merck KGaA (EUR21.4mn, US$28.2mn), Arrow (EUR10.0mn, US$13.0mn), Zoetis (EUR10.5mn, US$13.5mn)) and Ranbaxy (EUR10.3mn, US$13.2mn).
Lundbeck said it will appeal the EU's decision but has cut its guidance for operating profits this year as a result of the fine - from a range of DKK1.2bn and DKK1.7bn (US$213mn to US$300mn) against a previous forecast before the fine of DKK1.9bn (US$336mn) to DKK2.4bn (US$424mn). As of June 3 2013 (when Reuters first reported the fine), Lundbeck's shares have declined by 6.5% (from DKK109.2 on June 3 to DKK102.1 on June 19).

Drugmakers Under Scrutiny: Pay-For-Delay Agreements Are Illegal
In 2012, EU antitrust regulators charged French drugmaker Servier, Israel's Teva and four other firms with blocking the entry of a generic version of Coversyl (perindopril).
In January 2013, the EU accused Johnson & Johnson and Novartis of colluding to delay the availability of generic versions of pain killer Duragesic (fentanyl) in the Netherlands.
In 2011, the EU started an investigation looking into at an agreement by Cephalon and Teva that may have delayed the availability of generic versions of Cephalon's Provigil (modafinil).

Is this a trend? I know im not having a baby shower til after my baby is born. My baby will actually be 3 months old.I dont have no family where I live. My family is throwing me a baby shower when I go home and visit them when the baby is 3 months old.I know a few of my friends back home have done this waited til after thir baby was born to have a baby shower.
Not having a baby shower til my baby is born
I think it might becoming more and more common. My mother is planning on throwing me a shower while im still in the hospital. Not ideal IMO but a little more realistic in my situation.
But in your situation i think itll be great. Except that normally at the showers you get the big stuff along with the little stuff. If the child will be 3 months old you should have the big stuff by then.
Just my opinion. ^.^
Babies can teach you all you need to know about life. Spit Happens!!
Yeah Im shopping for the crib soon and other baby items.
I've had a loss before so I'm just too afraid to have a shower prior to his birth (I guess you could call me a little superstitious). Instead, I plan on doing a meet and greet style party, men and women invited, where everyone can come by and see the baby after he's born. If they want to bring something for the baby, great. If not, that's okay too. Our close family is already helping us out with a lot of the big stuff, like the nursery furniture, etc. We've been trying to chip away at some things as we're going, too, so that we have the neccessities for when he's born.
I'm not a fan of being the center of attention (bridal shower wasn't my thing either, but had to live through that one for my mom's sake), so I think a meet and greet would be better for me, where the attention is more focused on my LO, than a preggo me. Just my thoughts and my personal situtation.

You know what Brandi i didnt think of it that way before. I like that line of thought. I hate being the center of attention as well. Maybe thats what i should try to do.
My mom is just trying to ere on the side of caution. As there is a still a big chance for me to lose one of these girls.
Maybe a Meet and Greet is just what i need.

I had a baby shower with my out of state family when my DD was 3 months old and it was a lot of fun! Everyone got to meet DD!! Since I already had lots of stuff for the baby up to 6-9 months, on the invitation my mom put on there to bring books and older clothes (like 12 months- 2 years). It was great!

This is our second pregnancy so we already have a lot of the big stuff like swings, bouncers etc. We bought the crib last time and plan to do the same this time around and we already have a pack n play and a ton of toys. For these reasons we are thinking of doing a party after the fact just to celebrate the birth(s) and catch up with a lot of friends that we haven't seen for a while. (I have been pretty anti social this pregnancy) and maybe even enjoy a few cocktails lol The only reason we are even considering the after party is because of how many people think we should have a shower since we are having a girl this time. I just don't see the necessity of it myself.

I really like that idea. I wanted to have some kind of cook with all my fiends and family (men and women) but thought it wouldn't be possible in the winter. Perhaps I will wait too until spring and do a party then..... Good ideas ladies!
Girlz- my mom and gram weren't too keen on the idea at first. They are the Baby Bingo type of women. But after my loss and then our u/s scare last week, they have come around and said "you're the mom, you know what's right for your situation," and they seem just fine with the idea now. I will be all ready to celebrate once he's here in my arms. I will keep your girls in my thoughts and prayers and hope that they both make it home safe with you.

In the Jewish religion it is common to have a shower after the baby is born. Its a superstition. So Im not sure when my babyshower will be, one of my good friends also follows this trend even though she is not Jewish so its not as uncommon as you think.
Really, there is very little you need right when the baby is born, some clothes, bassinet/pack & play, and car seat. Most things can wait a couple of months. A friend had her baby 7 weeks early, so had nothing, and she realized that it was just fine, and he got to be the center of attention at his own shower.

I don't think we should let the past bind us down, but people who have actually been effected by the past should be allowed to feel as they wish. As for Columbus.. he discovered a place that was already discovered, murdered countless people, and took (I'm not sure how many) children as.. ''slaves''. Members of his crew had diaries about how crazy he was. Like I said, I don't think we should let the past bind us, but celebrating such a thing is.. I can see why some people hold a grudge about what happened, and continue to do so. As for the USA's government/military, they are far from good. They act like nothing wrong happens on our part, but I don't believe that crap.

It might be the first work of public art that's ever compelled someone to arm up with a 600,000-volt stun gun. It doesn't look like much...
It might be the first work of public art that's ever compelled someone to arm up with a 600,000-volt stun gun.
It doesn't look like much. Just a two-level bench of fiberglass, with legs made from steel plumbing pipes. It was designed to evoke an era when labor halls and working stiffs ruled Seattle's Belltown. The art bench juts slightly into the sidewalk along Second Avenue, intervening in the right-angle-orderliness of the urban grid. Its goal, says the city's art Web site, is to "engage passers-by physically and mentally, as well as visually, by providing places to sit and think."
"Well, it provides a place to sit and think where you might find your next beer," says Dave Markovich, owner of Belltown Barber nearby.
"Or maybe your next crack hit," says Joe Corsi, manager of Concept One, a 70-unit apartment building that opens onto the art bench and a bus stop.

Welcome to Seattle's most hated work of public art. Part of a decade-old "integrated streetscape" called Second Avenue Project, this art bench, between Blanchard and Bell, has become a magnet for an astonishing array of depraved activities. People smoke crack on it. Sell drugs from it. Fight around it. Pee or have bowel movements near it.
Even after a rain Tuesday, the art bench smelled of urine. It was strewn with empties and bags of half-eaten food. While I watched, two men used it to stub out cigarettes.
"It's no longer technically art," Corsi says. "It's a crack house. A bar without walls. This goes on day and night. Everybody — and I mean absolutely everyone who lives on this block or runs a business here — is sick and tired of it."
The art-bench crowd is so rough, Corsi says, that a month ago he bought a Taser-style stun gun. Now he sometimes waves it around, emitting a crackling, high-voltage sound, in order to clear a path to his building's front door.
Can all this be the art's fault?
Amazingly, some neighbors say it is.
Any place to sit here might draw the wrong crowd. There are other benches in Belltown. But something about this bench, with its faux-junk appearance, seems to invite contempt. After I saw it used as an ashtray, another man came by and inexplicably poured a soda on it.
Even if the art itself isn't to blame, what irks neighbors is that because it's art, it can't be moved without special permission from a city arts panel.
"We've been trying to get rid of it for eight years," Markovich says. "But it's part of this Belltown art theme, so the city won't let it go."
The theory was that art can help design away crime. Make a place interesting and vibrant, it will be safer. Only it turned out drug dealers and pimps appreciate art, too.
The artist, Kurt Kiefer, wrote on the city's public-art Web site that he placed that bench and other objects on the Belltown sidewalk as a way to "remember the experiments and improvisations that … continue to define the Denny Regrade."
Corsi says the city must end this art exhibit, or neighbors will do it for them.
"The bench is going to show up one morning on the mayor's front lawn," he said.
I don't know if that will do much for Belltown's crime problem, but it sounds like the spirit of improvisation to me.

High School Science Research Program
When asked what they did on their summer vacations, the high school interns working at the American Museum of Natural History will have some amazing jobs to describe. For example, instead of serving up fries or ringing up retail sales like some of her classmates, Wendy Guillen, 15, mingled with monkeys this August at the Sedgewick County Zoo in Wichita, Kansas, working with Museum scientists on behavioral and genetic studies involving groups of chimpanzees, orangutans, and gorillas in an effort to analyze their family relationships.
Wendy is just one of the 60 interns participating in the Museum's High School Science Research Program (HSSRP), an early training ground for high school sophomores and juniors, many of them city kids reflecting the great ethnic and racial diversity of New York City, interested in pursuing careers in research science. The HSSRP students work side-by-side with Museum professionals and top scientists on a wide range of exciting projects.
It is a selective, intensive program in which students commit to at least two years, including summers. …
