Deer 2Q profit tumbles 38 percent
PITTSBURGH -- Deere & Co., the world's largest maker of farm equipment, said Wednesday its fiscal second-quarter profit slid 38 percent as lower crop prices and the global recession dampened demand for its products. It also slashed its 2009 profit outlook by 27 percent.
Its shares fell $1.22, or 2.8 percent, to $42.60 in premarket trading.
Farmers have become increasingly cautious about spending on new equipment as crop prices -- the main factor driving machinery sales -- have tumbled from historic highs last year. The costs of fertilizer and fuel, meanwhile, remain relatively high. And the global credit crunch has made it more difficult to get loans.
The Moline, Ill.-based company said it earned $472.3 million, or $1.11 per share, during the three months ended April 30, down from $763.5 million, or $1.74 per share, a year ago.
Revenue fell 17 percent to $6.75 billion from $8.10 billion in the year-earlier quarter.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters, on average, had expected profit of $1.07 per share on revenue of $6.60 billion. Those estimates typically exclude one-time items.
Sales of Deere's tractors, combines and other agricultural equipment -- its biggest source of revenue -- fell 4 percent due to currency exchange fluctuations and lower shipments. Its commercial and consumer division, which makes products like riding mowers, reported a 24 percent decline. Sales of Deere's construction and forestry equipment plummeted 55 percent.
To cope with the weaker demand, Deere has laid off more than 1,000 workers this year, though it recalled 68 workers recently.
It also combined its agriculture equipment division with its commercial and consumer business to cut costs and streamline operations. The restructuring, along with news of layoffs and the worker recall, apparently buoyed investors' hopes, driving Deere stock up 63 percent between early March and the end of April.
Deere's finance arm reported a 56 percent decline in quarterly profit.
The company lowered its projected 2009 net income to $1.1 billion, down from $1.5 billion that it forecast earlier. It cited uncertain market conditions.

Del. LaRock's LGBT letter draws sharp rebukes, praise
Virginia state Del. Dave LaRock (R-33rd) says a proposed resolution recognizing LGBT Pride Month in Loudoun County "promotes homosexuality and gender confusion to people of all ages" and could be "used to promote, affirm and recruit young school-aged children to those lifestyles."
In a letter to the editor sent this week to the Times-Mirror and other local media outlets, LaRock, responding to the LGBT resolution proposed by Loudoun County Supervisor Kristen Umstattd (D-Leesburg), opined that proclamations should be reserved "for real heroes and honorable events that elevate that which is good, wholesome and worthy of recognition."
"Pride is an interesting concept," LaRock writes. "Pride often reflects an attitude of arrogance, and while there may be instances where pride is a good thing (such as patriotism or support for those who have sacrificed in service to our country and community), having our Loudoun County government publicly proclaim to be proud of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) movement is not such an instance."
The second-term delegate from western Loudoun County goes on to say Umstattd's proposal is "offensive to many (me included) for government to proclaim something which ignores and contradicts deeply held religious beliefs as this proclamation would do."
Members and friends of the LGBT community, including fellow legislators, were quick to rebuke LaRock's letter, which was published the same day the Pentagon lifted its ban on transgender people serving openly in the military, removing one of the last barriers to service.
"Delegate LaRock launches a cruel and wholesale attack on all members of the LGBT community, using false stereotypes meant to shame and humiliate LGBT adults, teens and children alike," Umstattd said. "His words lack compassion, decency and the kind of love that God would extend to all."
The Leesburg supervisor said she drafted the resolution at the request of dozens of residents.
"LaRock's letter is riddled with poor logic and inaccuracies," said James Parrish, executive director with Equality Virginia. "Gay and transgender people do not have lifestyles, they have lives, just like everyone else. They are our neighbors, employees, teachers and family members."
Ben Whitlock replied to the delegate on Facebook: "You 'oppose hatred,' yet continually characterize LGBT people as mentally unstable child predators fundamentally opposed to your concept of 'good,' 'wholesome,' 'worthy' American values. You know what I think truly frightens the prudish, intellectually dishonest moral busybodies who still peddle myths of homosexual recruiters' lurking in every restroom? I think they're terrified of the idea that LGBT people might just, you know, live fairly normal, unassuming lives with the same concerns about money, family, and the pursuit of happiness as the rest of us."
State Del. John Bell (D-87th) said "discrimination is discrimination, plain and simple."
"Loudoun County and the Commonwealth of Virginia have a responsibility to all citizens to promote inclusivity and respect among citizens, regardless of age, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or gender identity," Bell said. "Showing that every citizen has an ally within our government is a sign of that inclusivity and respect that each of us is owed."
Umstattd's resolution notes "everyone should be able to live without fear of prejudice, discrimination, violence or hatred based on gender identity or sexual orientation" and "urges all residents to respect and honor our diverse community and celebrate and build a culture of inclusiveness and acceptance."
While LaRock's comments drew sharp objections from some, other Virginians praised his position.
"This would be why I choose to drive an hour to work everyday, not because I can't afford to live in Loudoun, but because it has turned into a liberal cesspool!" Jeffrey R. Scofield, speaking of Umstattd's resolution, noted on Facebook.
Leesburg resident Frank Holtz, who shared LaRock's letter on his own Facebook page, lauded LaRock.
"Very well said," Holtz noted. "These are facts of this matter. Period."
Parrish, the Equality Virginia director, disputes that assertion. He says LaRock quotes a doctor, Dr. Paul McHugh of Johns Hopkins Medical School, to defend his case, "but fails to mention that his opinion is contrary to mainstream medicine."
"Transgender people, especially transgender youth, are placed in immediate harm by this doctor who is championed by designated hate groups," Parrish said.
Here is Umstattd's proposed resolution:
Proclamation Recognizing June 2016 as LGBT Pride Month
WHEREAS, Loudoun parents with LGBT children and Loudoun's LGBT residents have requested that the Loudoun Board of Supervisors acknowledge their struggle for equal rights; and
WHEREAS, June is celebrated as LGBT Pride Month nationwide; and
WHEREAS, Loudoun County has a diverse LGBT community that includes people of all ethnicities, religions and professions; and
WHEREAS, everyone should be able to live without fear of prejudice, discrimination, violence or hatred based on gender identity or sexual orientation; and
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors, on behalf of all residents of Loudoun County, does hereby proclaim June 2016 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month in Loudoun County and urges all residents to respect and honor our diverse community and celebrate and build a culture of inclusiveness and acceptance.
Here is Del. LaRock's full letter to the editor:
Pride is an interesting concept.
Pride often reflects an attitude of arrogance, and while there may be instances where pride is a good thing (such as patriotism or support for those who have sacrificed in service to our country and community), having our Loudoun County government publically proclaim to be proud of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) movement is not such an instance.
All good people oppose hatred and senseless violence, but the official proclamation offered by Supervisor Kristen Umstattd last week went way beyond that. Her proposal amounted to an official Loudoun County prideful proclamation of solidarity with the homosexual and transgender lifestyles.
Supervisor Kristen Umstattd's proclamation is a bad idea for several reasons.
First, Supervisor Kristen Umstattd's proclamation promotes homosexuality and gender confusion to people of all ages but ignores the real physical and psychological harms associated with those lifestyles and the harm of the sexually explicit material used to promote, affirm and recruit young school-aged children to those lifestyles.
Supervisor Umstattd's proposal to express pride for the transgender lifestyle, which experts classify as a psychological disorder, reflects very poor judgement. Paul McHugh, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins Medical School and the former psychiatrist in chief at Johns Hopkins Hospital had this to say about gender impersonation, "Conditioning children into believing that a lifetime of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex is normal and healthful is child abuse."
Second, Supervisor Kristen Umstattd's proclamation is very likely just a first step toward public policy and school policy initiatives focused on affirming homosexual and gender confused behavior. Look to our neighbor Fairfax County and beyond and you see LGBT pride parades, fairs, and school events. The behavior and practices promoted at these events is often vulgar. The material distributed at Pride events includes sexually explicit printed material which would shock most.
Third, it is offensive to many (me included) for government to proclaim something which ignores and contradicts deeply held religious beliefs as this proclamation would do. Both the Umstattd proclamation and president Obama's recent proclamation that public schools need to ignore biological sex and replace it with assumed gender are examples of government imposing the extreme views of a few on many. When government does this it also infringes on parent's rights to impart their values to their children.
Supervisor Umstattd, please reserve the proclamations for real heroes and honorable events that elevate that which is good, wholesome and worthy of recognition.

Angels go for series tie
Mike Scioscia gave Josh Hamilton the day off Saturday.
Today, it's Albert Pujols staying on the bench, with Scioscia intending to combine it with Monday's off day for a two-day break. He's available to pinch hit in today's series finale against the Baltimore Orioles, but Scioscia is going to attempt to give him the day totally off.
In other news, Scioscia apparently wasn't dissuaded by Saturday's late-inning struggles brought about by a two-catcher lineup, as he chose to do it again Sunday, starting both Chris Iannetta and Hank Conger.
Hamilton, who flied out as a pinch-hitter Saturday, is back in the lineup and hitting third for the Angels today. By batting average, he's been the slowest-starting player in today's starting nine.
Here are the full lineups for today's 12:35 p.m. start, with Jerome Williams making his first start of 2013 for the Angels against the Orioles' Jason Hammel:

Rising country singer-songwriter Jana Kramer released her self-titled debut last June, now she's following up her breakout first single "Why Ya Wanna" with "Whiskey." The track tells the bittersweet story of a relationship with a rough and rowdy guy, and now you can watch the single's video, which follows the torrid affair from its barroom brawl beginnings to the beau's eventual arrest, ending with Kramer sitting by the fizzled fire where the two once sipped, of course, Jack Daniel's.

*From his jail cell in Brazil, former Turks and Caicos Premier, and LisaRaye's ex-husband, Michael Misick, is denying reports that he is negotiating a plea bargain with British and/or American law enforcement authorities that would implicate United States citizens and senior politicians in Jamaica, Bermuda and the Cayman Islands.
Misick wrote a letter to his brother on August 1, 2013 and described as "a bunch of bull s**t", a July 29 report on the on-line blog the Turks and Caicos Islands Journal, under the headline "Michael Misick in plea bargain negotiations with Americans and SIPT."
The one-page letter which was obtained by the Turks and Caicos' SUN newspaper, stated: "I hear the TCI Journal and their British sponsors is up to their old tricks by putting out online a bunch of bull s**t about me. These people are so low and will stoop to anything to try to further destroy me. I am strong in my faith and will never give up no matter what they do…All I can do is keep on praying and be patient that God will soon deliver me from prison here either home or free here in Brazil."
Misick, who was living in Brazil before his arrest, also states in the letter that he was waiting for a court date this month for his case to be decided.
The 47-year-old was arrested in Rio de Janeiro by that country's Federal Police on Friday, December 7, 2012 while attempting to board a domestic flight at the Santos Dumond airport. Misick was on his way to see his Brazilian attorney.
He was released on bail in February 2013 but re-arrested in April.

What did Halliburton do to the Deepwater Horizon drill hole, April 19, 2010? Part 1
This two part column is full of pretty solid information regarding the disaster in the Gulf. I hope it hasn't been posted already, Devvy Kidd is a contributor to Lew Rockwell's site. I read her columns quite a bit, and this one is exceptional, even for her. I thought of GLP as soon as I read it..

"This is not an environmental disaster, and I will say that again and again because it is a natural phenomenon," Congressman Don Young [R-Alaska]
Millions of words have already been written about the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon platform, April 20, 2010, and the horrific damage done and that will still come from the massive gushing of oil.
Right off the bat, the world screamed for BP to do something - anything - to stop the oil belching into the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. Hundreds of millions of people around the globe continued to watch this massive disaster unfold. Thousands in the gulf region immediately began to lose their income and as the weeks wore on with one failed attempt after another to shut off the source of the "spill," reality began to really sink in: Our fellow Americans by the thousands will go bankrupt, losing their livelihoods, businesses and their homes. The normal tourist season would not materialize. State and local government began to feel the short term effects and realize the long term destruction to their cities, towns and environment was just beginning. Photos of dead dolphins, bodies bloated with oil, pelicans drenched in black oil, rusty oil clogging marshlands and beaches covered in oil hit the Internet. As I haven't watched ABC, NBC or CBS "news" for more than 30 years, I have no idea their coverage.
BP went into high gear with their public relations machine assuring the world they would return the Gulf of Mexico to its original splendor and make everything right. Their corporation would compensate Americans for their legitimate losses. To say it's been a nightmare by BP from day one is the understatement of the century. Lies flowed like the oil gushing from the damaged drill hole. Payments were and are slow to reach those who desperately need it. From our hard working fishing industry, the family owned gift shop at one of the beaches, hotels, the shop that rents various recreational vehicles, you name it.
The money has been coming from BP, but not fast enough and the long term destruction to all the business owners and those who live in the gulf region could run into several trillion dollars. We just don't know at this time.
Then came the warnings about people getting sick from the dispersant Corexit. The EPA told BP to stop using so much; BP ignored them. I have to wonder if it's because that rig was way out in international waters - some 50 miles?
Then came more photos of huge plumes of oil under the water, driven down by the dispersants which were in turn, making rescue workers sick. Warnings were issued - not by BP - but by independent scientists and those with the knowledge to understand the effects of methane gas and all the other highly toxic chemicals. Local residents all along the gulf began reporting a variety of illnesses. There has been a great deal of talk and some reports about evacuating areas of the gulf, i.e., the Tampa, Florida area. This is so horrible for everyone affected. Having to be forced from their homes is the last thing people need, but if the air is as dangerous as some of the testing has showed, what are they to do?
Literally within a couple of days after the explosion, my email box filled up with all kinds of conspiracy theories and nonsense. Independent web sites shouted headlines that could not be proved, based purely on rank speculation. One web site claims: "The 'disaster' in the Gulf of Mexico is beyond a false flag; it's an illusion. What I'm about to reveal will more than likely go by the wayside, and the charade will continue. The reason for writing this is not for attention, games, or folly, but to expose the biggest scam in the 21st century, and to relieve some aching hearts. There is no need for fear as this is a staged event. I cannot reveal my sources, they do go straight to the top, but hopefully what I write will echo inside of each person reading this as the truth.....Much of the information I present here cannot be easily verified, fast checked, or ever presented as anything, but hearsay, as they are just words of an anonymous online entity."
Where have I read that one before?

Google's search analysis suggests we are experiencing the worst flu season since the 2009 H1N1 season forcing hospitals to postpone some procedures to deal with the influx of patients, though Ministry of Health tracking says we are only slightly above average.
Google.org, the search giant's humanitarian arm, has tracked flu trends in 29 countries since 2008 by correlating past flu numbers from health ministries with aggregated search terms that produce similar graphs.
California-based engineers crunch the numbers and are able to give "real-time" estimates of flu prevalence, often about two weeks before conventional tracking numbers are known.
Google's tracking in New Zealand this year shows the search-volume data spiking higher than any year other than 2009 when the H1N1 influenza produced a huge spike in search volumes.
The massive influx of patients thanks to the onset of winter has forced some Auckland hospitals to postpone scheduled, elective procedures.
Waitemata DHB Chief Executive Dr Dale Bramley said the upswing in patient presentations at Auckland's North Shore and Waitakere Hospitals was stretching capacity and had created challenges for staff.
Presentation numbers at the hospitals' emergency departments during the past two weeks were about 20 per cent higher than during the same period last year, which meant the hospitals were regularly operating at 100 per cent capacity, Bramley said.
The surge of patients meant some scheduled, elective procedures had been postponed to ensure there were enough beds for acute and urgent cases, he said, adding that it was possible further procedures would need to be postponed if the current trend in patient numbers continued.
Bramley said he was mindful of the impact the postponements had on the affected patients and their families.
Staff had also taken on extra shifts to help manage demand during the past couple of weeks, he said.
Real world tracking by ESR through the National Influenza Surveillance System however, is showing New Zealand broadly in line with last year and only just above the threshold average of 39 cases per 100,000 people.
National Influenza Specialist Group spokesman Dr Lance Jennings, a clinical virologist, said readings for July 7-13 were at 40.4 presentations per 100,000, slightly up from the week before which recorded 40.2.
"It's tracking up but not as high as suggested by Google," he said.
Jennings suggested that Google could actually be tracking respiratory illnesses rather than influenza as many of their symptoms were similar.
"What they're tracking is people who are interested in influenza."
"It's still a mild season," he said.
Results were recorded at 80 general practices throughout New Zealand.
Doctors swabbed the first person who presented with symptoms on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings and sent the results to a virus lab for testing.
Jennings said H1N1 was the dominant influenza virus in New Zealand this year.
The virus, which tends to be particularly severe in younger adults, had circulated throughout the summer.
Some patients required hospitalisation and intensive care when it appeared in pockets in Geraldine, Hawke's Bay and Otago.
In 2012, H3N2 was the main influenza virus, which is more severe in the elderly.
Jennings said official influenza statistics had a four to 10 day lag so it would be interesting to see if Google's predictions eventuated in the coming week.
The best protection against influenza was still an influenza vaccine shot, he said.

Maritime hockey players named to Canada's world junior team
CTV Atlantic
Published Friday, December 14, 2012 2:23PM AST
Maritime hockey fans are buzzing after the announcement of Canada's world junior roster.
Halifax Moosehead teammates Jonathan Drouin and Nathan MacKinnon were among the 13 forwards chosen to be part of Canada's National Junior hockey team.
They received a standing ovation at the Halifax Metro Centre Thursday night after it was announced both players were named to the team.
It was an anxious evening for both fans and Mooseheads management as they awaited the official word.
"You know what, we were glued to our phone all night, watching Twitter. We were stressed out," said Cam Russell, general manager of the Halifax Mooseheads.
"We were nervous, but when we saw that the final forward was cut we knew that both guys had made it, so we were pretty excited."
Drouin and MacKinnon join Cole Harbour native Sidney Crosby as the only 17-year-olds to make the team during a lockout year.
"We feel this can't be a team selected purely on age," said Steve Spott, the coach of Canada's world junior team.
"Jonathan and Nathan have proven they can compete at this level. They play against 18 and 19 year olds every night in Halifax. They just re-affirmed what we thought."
MacKinnon and Drouin will join Saint John Sea Dogs forward Jonathan Huberdeau on the roster.
Huberdeau has also been named alternate captain of the team, along with Scott Harrington of the OHL's London Knights.
Forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins of the Edmonton Oilers has been named Canada's team captain.
The 2013 world junior hockey championship starts Dec. 26 in Ufa, Russia

Packaged die PCB with heat sink encapsulant
Image Number 6 for
United States Patent #6252308
An apparatus and a method for providing a heat sink on an upper surface of a semiconductor chip by placing a heat-dissipating material thereon which forms a portion of a glob top. The apparatus comprises a semiconductor chip attached to and in electrical communication with a substrate. A barrier glob top material is applied to the edges of the semiconductor chip on the surface ("opposing surface") opposite the surface attached to the substrate to form a wall around a periphery of an opposing surface of the semiconductor chip wherein the barrier glob top material also extends to contact and adhere to the substrate. The wall around the periphery of the opposing surface of the semiconductor chip forms a recess. A heat-dissipating glob top material is disposed within the recess to contact the opposing surface for the semiconductor chip.

Playing With Pixels
Add Motion To Stills
I'm a still photographer: I shoot only still pictures. Video? It's cool, but I like to capture individual "frozen moments in time." However, I often like to convey action--and the grace of a moving subject--in my still pictures.
Before the advent of fast computers and digital imaging programs, I used several techniques to simulate the feeling of motion in a scene. These included panning during an exposure and shooting at a slow shutter speed when using a flash. Both techniques work very well.
Today, I seldom use these techniques. Why? Because achieving similar results in the digital darkroom is easier--I don't have to make any calculations in the field, especially when it comes to mixing daylight with the light from my flash. And, I have complete control as to how the pictures turn out.
Photo 1: I photographed this dancer in Lombok, Indonesia, during a nighttime performance at my hotel. I simply set my camera on Program and shot. I got a good exposure because I followed the rule of "filling the frame" with the subject when shooting on Program (or any automatic mode) when taking flash pictures. Don't fill the frame and you may get an overexposed flash picture--because the flash system may try to light the background, too.
Photo 2: After scanning the original slide into Adobe Photoshop 5.5, I made a duplicate layer. Now I had two identical images--one on top of the other.
Next I applied the Motion Blur filter found in Filters to the top layer. The top layer was now totally blurred and the bottom layer was totally unaltered.
Photo 3:Using the Eraser tool found in the Tool Bar on the top layer (blurred image) I erased the blur on the dancer's body--a technique that left only faint traces of her body and costume in the background. To make the smooth transition from a sharp subject to the blurred edges of the subject, I had to adjust the pressure of the Eraser tool as I moved from the center of the subject outward. In the middle of the subject, for example, I set the Eraser at 100 percent. Toward the edges, I set the Eraser to 5 percent.
To ensure that I erased the blur effect on the parts of the dancer that I wanted clear, I switched off the bottom layer (sharp layer). With only the top layer active (visible), it was easy to see exactly what I was doing.
The digital speed effect works especially well when a subject is posed against a black or very dark background.
Photo 4: To enhance the scene and to take up some of the "dead space" in the photograph, I used the Lens Flare filter found in Filters>Render, which, when the point of light is placed in a dark area, creates a spotlight effect.
The color of the frame around the picture, as you may have noticed, perfectly matches part of the dancer's costume. That's because I selected the color with the Eye Dropper tool. To create the frame, I selected a small section at the edges of the picture, clicked on Inverse and clicked Cut. Using the Paint Bucket tool, I filled in the cut area with the selected color.
Have a keen eye? Look closely
and you'll see that I brightened the whites of the dancer's eyes just
a bit. I did this using the Dodge tool. Fashion photographers often use
this technique to give their models a more youthful look.

Collegefeed today announced the launch of Collegefeed for Employers, a new product that enables companies to quickly discover, attract and connect with college talent. Collegefeed for Employers is designed to help the thousands of U.S. enterprises, startups, SMBs and venture capital firms looking to hire college talent. Whether you're a recruiter at a large enterprise or CEO of a startup, simply choose what you're looking for and receive curated feeds of matches in your inbox. Join the 500+ companies that have already signed up.
"Since launching last May we've talked to hundreds of employers, from the biggest brands to scrappy startups, and they all say the same thing – we need an easier way to find and attract millennial talent," said Sanjeev Agrawal, CEO and co-founder of Collegefeed. "We know companies face different recruitment challenges based on things like size, location and rate of growth, so we've listened and worked together to create Collegefeed for Employers. Collegefeed offers specific tools and resources to best serve those diverse requirements. It's the easiest way to reach tens of thousands of new graduates and grow brand awareness within college-age communities."
Collegefeed is a social network with one goal – to help every college student and new grad get hired. Created by Google's former product marketing chief, Sanjeev Agrawal, in the past six months Collegefeed has seen hyper growth of its user base, with students from over 1,200 schools and hundreds of employers. Universities like Stanford are rolling out the platform to their students – and to every employer who recruits their students. Employers simply specify what they're looking for. Collegefeed then culls through tens of thousands of users to find the most qualified applicants and sends a talent feed of high-quality, highly-relevant candidates to their inbox.
"Stanford is currently building a career services model that's about connections between students, alumni, employers and the university community," said Farouk Dey, Stanford's AVP and executive director of Career Services. "We have chosen to partner with Collegefeed because they offer the one product in today's market that gets this vision and truly optimizes students' branding and connections for a successful job search."
How it Works: Enterprises
For large companies that hire new grads en masse, Collegefeed transforms what is currently a very time and labor-intensive process. Most rely on things like resume books and career fairs, but sorting through all those resumes to find just the right candidates is inefficient. Collegefeed does the work for you, culling through its online profiles to identify a specific set of candidates matching your exact needs. Instead of sifting through thousands of candidates, Collegefeed delivers the hundred candidates most relevant to you.
"eBay Inc. is a growing company with a goal of accelerating our innovation and extending our footprint as a global commerce leader," said Laura Chambers, head of university programs at eBay Inc. "We believe that our success is built by the brilliant minds and hard work of our employees – and that our future success will be built by the next generation of innovators and problem solvers. With tools like Collegefeed, we have the ability to quickly identify candidates who are looking for real-life post-graduation work experience and want to make a difference in the world and create more opportunity together."
Also for large companies, it's hard to attract the best and brightest college grads; most come out of college hoping to work for the same list of well-known brands. So finding a way to increase brand perception with this audience is critical. Collegefeed makes this process easy and nearly instant. On Collegefeed, large companies can create engaging, mobile-friendly brand pages, run contests, host virtual events and tell their story in a way that will make millennials stop and listen.
How It Works: VCs and their Startups
There are hundreds of U.S. venture capital firms, each with hundreds of their own portfolio companies, so their challenges are even more complex. With thousands of resumes coming in for jobs at those portfolio companies, there is no easy way to screen and funnel them to the right place. Collegefeed offers one platform that lets them brand, recruit and connect applicants across their entire portfolio of companies.
Palo Alto-based Accel Partners is an investor in Collegefeed and one of the first venture capital firms to create a partnership that will leverage the Collegefeed solution to help its portfolio companies quickly find and recruit top candidates.
"Sifting through the noise to find great new college hires and entry-level talent can be a key part of recruiting success for a fast growing startup," said Peter Clarke, talent partner at Accel Partners. "The Collegefeed platform enables new grads to create relevant and comprehensive user profiles that can then be filtered by the employer to match their exact needs."
How it Works: SMBs, Startups
SMBs and startups typically don't have dedicated resources for recruiting college talent and their needs tend to be more specific. Plus, unless they're a "hot startup," attracting the best talent is an even bigger challenge. Collegefeed makes it easy for small and mid-sized companies to find talent across all schools nationwide, even if they can't afford to recruit on campus. It enables them to be more competitive, by attracting the hottest talent using Collegefeed's engaging, mobile-friendly brand pages.
"Collegefeed is a tremendous resource for SMB employers seeking relevant candidates with strong educational or professional backgrounds," said Nicholas Brunner, national director of US Sports Camps. "US Sports Camps has already been presented with several outstanding applicants, which proved more efficient and effective than our traditional new-hire undertakings. We've been pleased with the process every step of the way and would highly recommend this service to any company who wants a competitive edge."

Advances in technology and the development of indigenous weapons platforms in China, combined with reactions to modern conflicts, have produced a military force very different from that which China has fielded in the past. Wortzel presents a clear and sobering picture of the PLA's modernization effort as it expands into space and cyberspace, and as it integrates operations in the traditional domains of war.
Larry M. Wortzel spent much of his thirty-two-year military career in the Asia-Pacific region, including two tours of duty as a military attaché in China. He served as Director of the Strategic Studies Institute at the U.S. Army War College and, after retirement, as Director of the Asian Studies Center and Vice President at The Heritage Foundation. For over a decade he has been a commissioner on the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission. He has previously authored or edited ten published books about China.

Speaking of that, I wonder how susceptible the Fidelio is to sample variation. I haven't exactly had significant (or any) experience with Philips headphones before the X1 to know how tight their QC is.post #1923 of 57457/5/13 at 11:15pm
I had two X1s side by side, and they sounded exactly the same. I had to make sure I looked at the headband to make sure which one just arrived, since it wasn't as bent as the last one.post #1924 of 57457/7/13 at 5:09am

Phillips are sending me new headphones, without me having to send back the pair I have, I mean they are still perfect on the lower sound levels.

Hmm well I prefer all 3 you mention there to the X1....
I was hoping that the X1 would be a headphone I could use for gaming and music as well and sell off some of the other ones I have at the moment. I found the X1 is by no means bad, pretty good infact, but personally I found it a bit "dry" sounding, the treble was a bit artificial. They were very good for gaming though. But I think I would prefer to just have an open pair for gaming and some music and a closed pair for electronic music etc. There does not seem to be an open pair which satisfy me as an all rounder except maybe hifiman HE500 or LCD2 but I cannot afford them.
They are good headphones but what bothered me is the pads, which cannot be replaced and pick up lots of junk on them, so I cannot see them lasting long tbh, also I just don't really like the sound of them that much compared to other headphones I have owned, they are one of the better ones I have tried but I prefer the sound of some others I have owned, for example the 3 you mentioned.post #1932 of 57457/8/13 at 6:52am

Mad lust envy can you answer a question for me please....
I sent back the X1 because I found them a bit "dry" and a little peaky sounding in the treble, as well as slightly unnatural sounding in the treble, they were good headphones but somehow they did not sound that great to my ears, also the pads were an issue for me, anyway....
The K702 65th anniversary.... How do they compare to the the X1 in the treble? Also do the AKG have a "dry" sound like the X1? Also why did you sell the K702 65th?Return HomeBack to Forum: Headphones (full-size)

Banks and other financial institutions are making it far too easy for South Canterbury's young men to get into debt, says Timaru Budget Advisory Trust co-ordinator Don Macfarlane.
"There is an over-representation of young men in the 18 to 25 age group who have a reasonable income but unmanageable debt because of the ease of obtaining credit," he said.
Macfarlane said more often than not a vehicle contributed to the debt. "There's a vehicle often involved and floating around. These young men already have hire purchases and a car just tips them over."
In Macfarlane's opinion not enough questions were being asked by banks, finance companies and other lending institutions when giving loans to young males.
"The serious onus is on lenders to actually explore the real need of the loan and to explain the consequences of not being able to pay back the loan. Lenders need to look at the whole picture - they simply don't ask enough questions."
Parents bailing children out of debt is not the answer, according to Macfarlane.
"We often have to say to parents: 'Don't bail them out ... it doesn't teach them how to deal with the consequences of their actions'.
"They need to walk into a wall."
Dealing with young men and their debt is not a new issue facing the Timaru Budget Advisory Trust.
"For so many people in this age bracket it's about avoidance. They think something will come along and save them [like a pay rise] ... I call this fairies at the bottom of the garden."
New Zealand Bankers' Association chief executive Kirk Hope said the allegations were "surprising".
"The customer's ability to service the loan is a key factor in any lending decision. It's important that people are up front to the bank about their circumstances and their ability to repay the loan."
He said defaults on bank loans were "low" because of the prudent approach that banks took.
"Banks also work very hard with customers who find themselves in financial difficulty. People who are having trouble should speak to their bank as soon as possible."
Ninety-five per cent of Timaru Budget Advisory Trust's clients are in some sort of debt.
"There is a widespread 'got to have it now' mentality."
Macfarlane said it was imperative people sought help before they got in too deep.
"They need to seek help sooner rather than later. The penalties can be horrendous. If it gets to a debt collection agency the amount could have up to 29 per cent added on."
Asked if young men wanted to get out of debt, Macfarlane replied "too right they do".
"It's encouraging when they do, however. Too many young men are having to learn the hard way."
Banking Ombudsman Deborah Battell said her office saw relatively little evidence of banks lending irresponsibly.
"I am uncertain whether this is because young people do not know that they can contact the Banking Ombudsman or because the majority of problems lie with non-bank lenders. If there are allegations of banks lending irresponsibly I would be keen for affected parties to contact us."
The Timaru Herald would like to hear from young South Canterbury males in debt (or concerned parents) who are prepared to share their story. Email firstname.lastname@example.com or phone 687 1338.

But there's more to the Envy24 line than the high-end Envy24 and mainstream Envy24HT. VIA's Envy24PT, which could revolutionize integrated motherboard audio, is also waiting in the wings. The Envy24 is coming to VIA's tiny EPIA small form factor platform, too.
To help get to the bottom of a number of burning questions we had about the Envy24 and its derivatives, we've interviewed VIA's own Keith Kowal, the marketing manager for VIA's audio division. Read on as he reveals some key differences between the various Envy24 flavors, which manufacturers have already signed on to integrate the Envy24PT in their motherboards, why VIA chose to cut hardware 3D audio acceleration from the Envy24, and much more.
