I have a set of points, which I would like to know the locations of. What I have is noisy distance measurements between many of the points, but not necessarily all of them. Additionally, the points are located in 3D space, but we can consider the 2D case here.
My first thought was to set 1 of the points to (x1=0,y1=0) and pick another point as (x1=0,y2=distance between P1 and P2). Then I figured I could incrementally add new points by combining 2 equations like: (x3-x1)^2 + (y3-y1)^2 = D13 and (x3-x2)^2 + (y3-y2)^2 = D23.
My problem is that, I likely have more than 2 distances for each point (for instance for point 10, I may have distances to all 9 previous points) so depending on the order of the points I add and which distances I choose to use I will get different solutions.
Any ideas on how to solve this?

We love this time of year, and we had such a great time making last year's Happy Holidays Video, we decided to do it again this year...twice! Our Holiday Video Part One focuses on Thanksgiving. We interviewed our 1st Mariner Bank employees and asked them what they are thankful for this holiday season. We also tested their Thanksgiving knowledge by asking them a few trivia questions. View the video below to see how much our employees know about Thanksgiving!
Thanks for watching and we wish you a safe and happy beginning to your holiday season!

Community Spotlight | Videos
This year, as families prepare for the 2012 holiday season and family traditions, we thought we'd start our own tradition here at 1st Mariner Bank. Last year, we featured our "5 Things We're Thankful For This Holiday Season" blog post in our November eNewsletter. This year, we'd like to officially make it a tradition by bringing you the "2nd Annual 5 Things We're Thankful for This Holiday Season."
We know – we said that last year. What can we say? You rock! Year after year, the people of the Baltimore community continue to blow us away with their sense of family and camaraderie. In good times and in bad, Baltimore continues to come together, proving that our park benches seem to know what they are talking about - Baltimore really is the "greatest city in America."
We're honored and privileged to have served you for the past 17 years and look forward to continuing to do so for many years to come.
We've said it before, we'll say it again. Without you, our customers, we'd be nothing. We'd like to take this time to thank all of our customers for your loyalty and support. Here at 1st Mariner, we consider our customers to be a part of our family and we're thrilled to hear that you feel the same.
Our online conversion process had some bumps in the road that we hadn't anticipated. We were overwhelmed by your patience and understanding as we continued and will continue to work together toward providing better services and a better bank for Baltimore.
We'd like to sincerely thank you for affording us the privilege and opportunity to serve you. There's no place like Baltimore and there's no customers like 1st Mariner customers. You are truly one of a kind.
As you may have noticed, Online Banking got a nice facelift this year as an early Christmas gift. We're thrilled about the new and enhanced online capabilities our customers can now take advantage of. From being able to pay bills using the 1st Mariner Bank App, to the new and improved Mariner360, we think it's safe to say that 1st Mariner's Online Banking is now playing with the pros of electronic banking.
We're honored to have Baltimore's favorite quarterback announce to the region that he proudly banks at 1st Mariner – but he doesn't stop there! Joe Flacco's dedication to his Baltimore-area fans is truly evident by his eagerness to team up with us for "Flacco Fridays," a series of weekly Facebook contests that will run through the end of the football season. For five straight weeks, Joe took the time to look through the questions that you submitted, choose his five weekly favorites, and compose thoughtful responses. By the end of week five, Joe was so overwhelmed with the great questions that had been submitted that he took it upon himself to go back and answer a few extra bonus questions. For our current contest series, Joe has given us permission to alter photos of him for a series of Photohunt-style contests. We are grateful for Joe's continuous support, and we can't wait to see what he will help us with next!
We've all had experiences with businesses and customer service departments where we're left feeling unimportant, annoyed, frustrated and that we've just been treated as a number instead of a valued customer and member of the community. While we may not be the biggest bank out there, we pride ourselves on knowing that we're small enough to be able to provide our customers with one-on-one, compassionate, personal service. Have an issue or a concern regarding your banking relationship with us? Pick up the phone and give us a call...if there is a hoop we can jump through for you, we will.
Here's to wishing you and your family another happy holiday season!

Year after year I go through the same cycle of emotions during the holiday season. Right around Thanksgiving I start to get really excited about the holidays. This is the time of year that I think I LOVE giving gifts to my family and friends. These are the people that I can't live without, so I just want to shower them with gifts!
Fast forward a few weeks. All of my generosity has been replaced with misery. After spending all of my income on gifts, decorations, charitable donations, etc., I find myself sitting at home eating Ramen Noodles (because that's all I can afford) in the dark (because I am trying to save every penny I can, including on the electric bill).
It's around this time that I begin to realize that I HATE gift giving, and I turn into a Holiday Grinch. I get sick of hearing the same Christmas songs over and over again, tired of the Christmas movie marathons, and annoyed with all of the holiday traffic on the way to the store when I'm hungry and out of Ramen Noodles.
This year I started thinking ahead, and I decided it would be a good idea to try to break the cycle! Using 1st Mariner Bank's personal finance management tool, Mariner360, I created a budget specifically for the holidays that I am determined to stick to so I will be able to actually enjoy this wonderfully festive time of year!
I've decided to begin the gift giving season by giving you a tutorial on how I created my budget to make it easy for you to set up yours! This should surely keep us all in check this holiday season!
Sign into your 1st Mariner Bank Online Banking account (or click here to enroll), then click on the "Mariner360" tab. The great thing about Mariner360 is that it allows you to add all of your accounts from any financial institution, so you can monitor all of your accounts, not just your 1st Mariner accounts, in one place. If you have not yet used Mariner360 within the newly enhanced Online Banking platform, you will be required to enroll. It only takes a few minutes to enroll and add all of your accounts. Once you are enrolled, your Mariner360 Dashboard should look something like this:
The first thing we are going to do is create new spending categories specifically for the holidays. Click on the "Transactions" tab. This should give you a list of all of your recent transactions from all of your accounts. Click on any of the transactions from this list, it doesn't matter which one. I simply clicked on the first transaction listed:
A screen should pop up called "Transaction Details." Click on the "Add/Edit Your Categories" button on the bottom left corner of the pop up window:
Now you will see a list of all of the categories that Mariner360 provides for you. I chose to put my holiday related items as a sub-category of the "Miscellaneous Expenses" category. Click on the category for which you would like to create a new sub-category, then click "Add New Subcategory."
You can create as many sub-categories as you'd like. I added two: "Holiday Gifts" to track how much I spend on presents, and "Holiday Party" to track how much I spend on the holiday party I am having this year. For each sub-category you create, you must click on the "Save" icon to the right of the text box:
Once you have created and saved all of your new sub-categories, click "Continue" and you will be taken back to the "Transaction Details" screen. Let's say this transaction that I clicked on, categorized as "Home Improvement, Repair & Maintenance," was actually a gift for my handy brother. I could re-categorize this as "Holiday Gifts" by selecting that category from the drop-down menu.
After properly categorizing all of the holiday-related transactions that you have made so far, you can head over to the "Budgets" tab on the top menu. If you do not have any budgets currently set up, your screen will look something like this:
Click on "Add New Budget," then you will be prompted to select a category and budget amount. This amount is your total spend goal in this category that you do not wish to exceed. Once you have selected a category and budget amount, hit "Save."
Create a new budget for each holiday-related category that you created. Since I have two categories, my budget looks like this:
The top bar shows all of your budgets combined, and underneath you can see how you are doing with each individual budget. I love this feature because if I find that I have over-budgeted for gifts, I can splurge for my holiday party, and vice versa. Note that these budgets are set up as monthly budgets. If you are an early shopper like me and tend to start your shopping in November, you should subtract the amount that you have spent in November, and the difference would be your December budgeted amount.
I hope you found my tutorial useful. Holiday spending is just one of the many useful tasks Mariner360 can help you with. Here's to hoping Mariner360 will keep me from becoming a Holiday Grinch this year!

This place was absolutely disgusting. The bedsheets had stains and the bed had dirt. The room was full of mosquitos. There are random electricity plugs, from which only few work, when I asked the staff they told me my charger was not working instead of fixing anything. The place is nothing like the pictures. The location is bad, there is nothing around...Nothing. When i wanted to go to the city i was lucky because a driver stopped to eat there. Overall, find an other place.

Staff was friendly but difficult to communicate in english. Hired two "bicycles". Never saw bicycles like this before. Had to give our passport to get them, did not get a lock or helmet, so if they get lost… One bicycle had a flat tyre. The boy said he will fix it (put air inside the damaged tube). After 5 minutes the tyre was flat again :D You cannot change the position of the saddle, saddle and pedals were loose and breaks not really working. Of course they were for free but you expect at le

We were supposed to stay for two nights but only stayed for one. My boyfriend and I got put in separate rooms and were told we could have a private room the next night. The next day we waited for our new room but nothing came of it so we said we'd get a bike and go out however all of their bikes had run out (so I'd suggest doing this early). We just decided not to stay the second night and the staff were so kind to let us have our 1st night free. Breakfast however was lovely, as were the staff.

Staff are very friendly and helpful. We were in the unisex dorm room which had air con so very comfortable and ok beds. All was clean. The free bike hire was great and, despite the distance from night markets etc, we were happy to walk (20 mins to 40 mins) and share tuk tuks. For a night out find Zoe in yellow in the old town!

Excellent hostel with extremely helpful and friendly staff. Our room was clean and comfortable with warm showers. The location is about a half-hour walk from the Old City or a 50 baht Songthaew ride. The free tea and coffee, breakfast and bicycle rental plus the hospitality of the staff more than make up for this though! Brilliant value for money.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
The electrical heart conduction pathway must be followed to ensure the heart pumps properly.
The heartbeat starts in the right atrium when a special group of cells (the sinus node or "pacemaker" of the heart) sends an electrical signal.
The signal spreads throughout the atria and to the atrioventricular (A-V) node.
The A-V node connects to a group of fibers in the ventricles that conduct the electric signal.
The impulse travels down these specialized fibers to all parts of the ventricles.
Arrhythmias (or dysrhythmias) are abnormal rhythms of the heart which cause the heart to pump less effectively.
Normally, as the electrical impulse moves through the heart, the heart contracts - about 60 to 100 times a minute. Each contraction represents one heartbeat. The atria contract a fraction of a second before the ventricles so their blood empties into the ventricles before the ventricles contract.
Under some conditions almost all heart tissue is capable of starting a heartbeat, or becoming the pacemaker. An arrhythmia occurs when:
The electrical activity of the heart is measured by an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG). By placing electrodes at specific locations on the body (chest, arms, and legs), a graphic representation, or tracing, of the electrical activity can be obtained. Changes in an ECG from the normal tracing can indicate arrhythmias, as well as other heart-related conditions.
Almost everyone knows what a basic ECG tracing looks like. But what does it mean?
When your physician studies your ECG, he/she looks at the size and length of each part of the ECG. Variations in size and length of the different parts of the tracing may be significant. The tracing for each lead of a 12-lead ECG will look different, but will have the same basic components as described above. Each lead of the 12-lead is "looking" at a specific part of the heart, so variations in a lead may indicate a problem with the part of the heart associated with the lead.
Atrial fibrillation is a type of arrhythmia. With atrial fibrillation, the electrical signals in the atria (the two small chambers of the heart) are fired in a very fast and uncontrolled manner. The atria quiver instead of contract. The electrical signals then arrive in the ventricles in an irregular fashion. When atria do not contract effectively, the blood may pool and/or clot. If a blood clot becomes lodged in an artery in the brain, a stroke (brain attack) may occur. About 15 percent of strokes occur in persons with atrial fibrillation. Aspirin, warfarin, and cardiac medications may be used to treat atrial fibrillation.
According to the latest recommendations from the American College of Physicians and the American Academy of Family Physicians, for most patients with atrial fibrillation, slowing heart rate with atenolol, metoprolol, diltiazem, or verapamil is the most appropriate treatment. Patients with atrial fibrillation should receive blood thinners to prevent stroke unless they have a condition that would make anticoagulation dangerous (such as alcoholism with frequent falls).
Patients who choose conversion to normal heart rhythm instead of rate control because of symptoms can select electrical or medical cardioversion. For patients who choose cardioversion, outcomes are similar whether patients have immediate cardioversion following a special test (transesophageal echocardiogram) to make sure no blood clots exist in the atria or if they delay cardioversion until blood thinners take effect. Most patients take medications to maintain normal rhythm after cardioversion.

Anyone who passes the familiar-looking house in Fryman Canyon while going for a hike up in the Studio City hills in California will know that the Kardashians don't really live at the fancy estate where they tape Keeping up With the Kardashians, but if you're lucky enough to get invited to one of the many charity parties held at the house, you'll know why it was used for the location shoot.
George Clooney, where he hosted the largest private fundraiser in history, lives right around the corner. Teri Hatcher lives up the block. Gwen Stefani lives up the hill and Britney Spears had a house nearby. Hilary Duff, Eddie Van Halen and Vanessa Hudgens are all neighbors.
But the Kardashians (even though the girls often hike the canyon, and even more often are seen shopping on Ventura Boulevard shops in Studio City) actually live about half an hour drive away in Calabasas. (In fact, one recent report is that they're buying the Justin Bieber house where he's had so many problems with his neighbors there.)
When they lived in Beverly Hills, Chloe said that the fans would come to the house all hours of the night and she had to call the police. That's why they use the exterior (and some of the fancy interiors) in the lavish estate that's now for sale in Studio City.
With a large lawn and 600-year-old imported fountain out front their on-screen house is now going for $6.5 million. It is an Italian style mansion with gold plated chandeliers and fixtures form the Paris Opera House in 8,0000-square feet on two levels. The house has been owned by a publicist who often allows it to be used for charity parties.
Check out some of the star-studded private parties that I went to in the photo gallery where I shot some of the private areas.
The house has been used on "True Blood" and many other film shoots as well.

Tom Moffatt
By MidWeek Staff
Uncle Tom Moffatt has built a career surrounding himself with some of the biggest names in music history. And since he was on MidWeek's cover in July 1987, not much has changed. He still has his radio program on Oldies 107.9 and is still working long hours to bring Hawaii a variety of acts from classic rock to Chinese lion dancers - all the while defying age in a business where youth is king.
"I'm having too much fun," he says when asked about possible retirement. "I enjoy this. As long as people are coming out, I'll be doing it."
One thing that has been different of late was enjoying the special invitation he received to attend the NFL Hall of Fame ceremony in Canton, Ohio, on Aug. 7. While there, he got to present inductee Steve Young and his wife with a lei.
"His wife's aunt is a good friend of mine and she invited us to the ceremony. It was exciting. It was a once-in-a-life-time experience," says the admitted quarterback junkie, who was particularly thrilled when, at a special dinner, all of the Hall of Famers were introduced.
Along with Sweetie, his wife of 40-plus years, Moffatt is trying for that balance trick of bringing in high quality entertainment, whether he is familiar with them or not. Sometimes those are his best shows.
"A few years ago a guy called up and said he wanted to bring in Chinese acrobats. I thought, eh, but then I checked them out and they did amazing things."
The Amazing Acrobats of the Shanghai Circus are now a yearly attraction.
Another time he got a call from a guy who said he was the heavyweight kickboxing champion. Having no idea who this guy was, he asked his son, who relayed to his father that this guy was big-time. So began the collaboration between Moffatt and Dennis Alexio.
So over the years he's learned to trust the numbers and sometimes his gut, such as when it told him to bring in the American Idol show, while trying to never go up against a big UH foot- ball game.
And what is next on the plate for Moffatt and fans of entertainment in Honolulu? How about jazz legend David Sanborn (Sept. 4); ska band Hepcat (Sept. 4); Loggins and Messina (Oct. 7); World Wrestling Entertainment (Oct. 15); World Lion Dance Championship (Oct. 28); A Chorus Line (Oct. 18-23); Neil Sedaka (Dec. 15) and maybe an oldies show to go along with the city's centennial celebration Nov. 17.

How many things in this picture are governed by politics? Everything!
The CTA-supported tax plan will be on the November 2012 Ballot
This means the super-wealthy, who don't currently pay their fair share in taxes, will have to ante up.
Governor Jerry Brown said enough signatures have been collected to quality the tax initiative for the November ballot. Thank you, CTA members who collected signatures and made this happen. More than 800,000 valid voter signatures were collected — and CTA members, with the help of coalition partners, collected at least 300,000 of them! The measure taxes the super-wealthy to provide billions for public schools and essential services, and helps close the state budget crisis.
Polls don't win elections. Votes do. VOTE JUNE 5
Every day you go to work, politicians make decisions that impact your students and your profession.
To get better decisions, we need better decision-makers.
There are many ways we advocate for our students and for public schools. Voting is just one of them. We want lawmakers ready to advocate for our schools and colleges and the funding we need. In California's "open primary" system, the top two vote-getters, regardless of political party, will move to the November general election.
Make your vote count! Vote for pro-public education candidates.
See CTA's recommended candidates and why you should vote YES on Prop. 28 at www.cta.org/campaign2012.
Corporate Power Grab
The "Stop Special Interest Money Now Act" is not what it seems. It's just a corporate power grab. The act was crafted by special interests who intentionally wrote it to look like "reform" when they have a completely different agenda. In this case, it will make it easier for billionaire businessmen and corporate special interests to rig the system and write their own rules. Far from being balanced or giving union members more of a voice, it singles out unions that represent teachers, nurses and firefighters for unfair treatment. It weakens our voice on things that matter. And corporations already outspend unions 15 to 1 on political contributions.
The bottom line: It takes away our power, your power, in the political process.
You deserve a say in what happens in your classroom. Don't let them take it away. Educate yourself and others about the Corporate Power Grab Initiative.

Purulia district, West Bengal, India
Purulia, in West Bengal state is one of the chronically poor districts of \\\'emerging\\\' India. Here people are poorly fed, remain poorly educated, they generally have poor health. Women in Purulia are even poorer compared to their male counterparts in every aspect of their lives.
Women here often get married at an early age – before they are eighteen. They become mothers while still in their teens. Women are expected to work hard at home and in the field. Culturally they are accustomed to a life defined by hard work. But women have no voice when it comes to issues like domestic violence.
Trickle Up, a US based non-profit has given the women of Purulia 3 video cameras. These cameras have suddenly given Moushumi and her friends a new tool for articulation and communication. They are recording their own stories on video and looking at themselves as groups, discussing, debating and sometimes confronting their own men who perpetrate domestic violence.
Moushumi, Shakuntala, Golapi and her friends, who were shy and quiet, have started to experience the power of visual storytelling in a community setting. The video cameras and their users may change the gender equations in parts of Purulia permanently.

No. 23 Tech Wins Wild Series Finale at Baylor
Redman went 2-for-3 with a three-run double in the eighth inning
March 16, 2014
WACO, Texas - No. 23 Texas Tech scored seven runs in the eighth inning, which included a three-run double by catcher Hunter Redman, and junior Corey Taylor pitched four scoreless relief innings to lead the Red Raiders to a 7-1 series finale victory at Baylor on Sunday afternoon at Baylor Ballpark.
Tech improves to 16-5 overall and earns its first Big 12 win of the season (1-2) while Baylor drops to 10-9 overall and to 2-1 in Big 12 play.
The Red Raider scored seven runs in the eighth, which started with a dropped fly ball by Baylor defensive replacement freshman Lane Kelly, who was making his career debut, which allowed two runs to score giving Tech a 2-1 lead. Redman followed with a bases-clearing double giving the Red Raiders a 5-1 lead. The Red Raiders were able to push two additional runs across in the eighth.
Taylor (3-0), meanwhile, faced one batter over the minimum from the sixth-to-ninth inning allowing just one base runner - a walk - in the eighth inning.
Redman led the Red Raiders going 2-for-3 with a run scored and three RBI. Senior Adam Kirsch went 1-for-5 and reached base safely for the 19th consecutive game.
Tech starting pitcher Cameron Smith took a no decision while allowing just one run on three hits with three strikeouts in a five-inning start - the first of his career.
Baylor reliever Drew Tolson (0-4) took the loss allowing two runs - both unearned - on one hit with one walk.
Texas Tech will return to action on Tuesday, March 18, as the Red Raiders host Stephen F. Austin for a two-game midweek series with first pitch set for Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. at Dan Law Field at Rip Griffin Park. Wednesday the Red Raiders and Lumberjacks will conclude the midweek set with a 2 p.m. first pitch.

College Hockey:CC Rallies Past Wisconsin
Tigers Salvage Split
MADISON, Wis. — One night earlier, none too pleased with his team's lack of effort, Colorado College coach Scott Owens was about as blatant as he could be, commenting that the Tigers weren't getting the needed production from their secondary lines to make a sound impact.
His message tonight was simple in the locker room pre-game; he wanted the Tigers' best effort, win, lose or draw.
As it turned out, he got the effort and a win to boot.
With Owens overhauling all four lines, the move made him look like a genius, as No. 11 Colorado College got one goal from all four lines to come back from an early two-goal deficit to upend No. 16 Wisconsin 4-3, splitting the weekend series.
"January 17th isn't a must win, but what it was important for was our confidence," Owens said. "We needed a character win. In that sense, we needed this one desperately."
With the two teams deadlocked at three for the majority of the third period, Owens major line-up shift paid off. Skating on the fourth line the night before, junior Brian McMillin was bumped up to the top line and scored an uncharacteristic garbage goal for Colorado College (13-9-5, 9-7-2), banging home a rebound in front of UW's Shane Connelly at 16:13 for the game winner.
"We juggled some things around after being stale and, you know, we said, 'To hell with it, let's put him up there,'" Owens said about McMillin. "We weren't happy with last night and if you work hard enough sometimes, you catch a break and that's what happened."
From that point on, the Tigers went in lockdown mode against Wisconsin (13-10-2, 10-6-2 WCHA). With UW throwing everything it could on net, Tigers' goalie and reigning WCHA player of the year Richard Bachman finally found his niche. Bachman stopped 26 shots on the night, 20 after giving up UW's third goal, and calmed down as the game went on, making his coach's decision not to pull him a wise move.
"I had thoughts of pulling him," Owens admitted. "He is so rarely out of position that I have never seen him give up ones like that. He competed and it was symbolic because he competed like the other guys. That's our All American. Play though it."
The end result was nothing like how the game began, as the first period suggested that the Badgers were going to run away with the sweep.
Wisconsin's Cody Goloubef, fresh off his gold medal performance with Team Canada in the World Juniors, registered two first period goals that easily could be mistaken for carbon copies of one another.
Goloubef scored goal number one on a power play, firing a shot from center ice just shy of the blue line. With UW's John Mitchell screening Bachman, Goloubef's shot cleared Bachman's stick and found the back of the net at 6:07.
Five minutes later and minus Mitchell, Goloubef, sitting in nearly the identical spot, fired another missile that Bachman was late getting a stick on, doubling UW's lead.
In a span of two minutes, 59 seconds, however, all thoughts of a Wisconsin runaway were drastically altered, as the Tigers bottom three lines awoke from their slumber.
It started harmlessly enough when second-line forward Tyler Johnson got Colorado College on the board. With UW defenseman Jake Gardiner and CC forward Eric Walsky battling for the loose puck in front of Connelly, Johnson slyly swiped the puck from the scrum and tucked it inside the right post, as Connelly's late dive was unsuccessful.
CC tied it up 96 seconds later, thanks to a Wisconsin turnover. Assistant captain and third-line forward Mike Testwuide, mired in a huge scoring slump, was more aggressive to a puck in the corner, taking it away from a UW defenseman and threading the puck between Connelly's pads to tie the score at two.
It was evident that the goal frustrated the usually composed Connelly, who shouted in disgust as the Tigers celebrated in front of him. Thirty-six seconds later, the Tigers took advantage of a distracted Connelly.
Giving up a long rebound and with defenseman Jamie McBain unable to clear the puck, fourth-line center Matt Overman grabbed the loose puck and tucked it between Connelly's armpit, giving CC its first lead of the weekend.
"The second one kind of got in my head a little bit and it snowballed," said Connelly, who stopped 22 shots on the night. "I shot myself in the foot in the little bit and second guessing. Those bounces in that span weren't going our way and we made it hard on ourselves."
Only 47 seconds later, Blake Geoffrion took a feed from linemate Andy Bohmbach and chipped a wrister past Bachman to tie the score, but that was the last soft goal the All-American goaltender allowed.
"Everyone in the building thought they were going to score the go-ahead goal, but we hung in there, hung in there," Owens said. "We aren't the most gifted guys but we made something happen."
A night after the Badgers turned up the heat in the third period, scoring three unanswered goals to put away the Tigers, Wisconsin, and Goloubef, got no such luck after his two shots clanged in.
Goloubef was pulled down on a breakaway that earned a power play for UW, but no penalty shot, had another puck carom off the crossbar and couldn't make any magic happen in the final seconds, when his final shot attempt from his lucky spot was blocked by the defense.
"It was a very bizarre night," UW head coach Mike Eaves said. "If I was outside, I would look for a full moon. One of the things we look at is we didn't have the same energy that we had last night in many areas. We had to try to figure out the answer in the third period and we didn't tonight.
"We didn't have that little 10 percent that seemed to be in the guys' eyes last night."

Dynamic gateway client woes
Wilson G. Hein <vze2b869 <at> verizon.net>
Greetings, I am so far unsuccessfull at getting either dgipip-0.1.orig, or dynamic_gate-1.05 to link me with my static host, on a kernel 2.4.18 patched to 2.4.19-pre2, RH linux 7.3. What do I need to do to start debugging the client and or my system in order to make this operational? dgclient when executed just sits there in the terminal untill I kill the process. dynamic-gate when executed returnes me to the prompt, and doesn't appear to do anything. Any assistance would be most graciously appreciated!

Turn your neck into an adorable science lesson with this Evolution Necklace ($75). We love how the little brass charms depict the classic man-from-monkey procession, and how they're framed with what are, and always have been, two of the human race's most favorite things ever: sex and food. All we need now are a pair of DNA spiral earrings to complete the picture. Oh, and a coelacanth belt. And a primordial soup recipe. And a fossil record player.
What is that on the middle charm? Because it looks like someone has an arm for a, well, for a genital appendage.
We would have said that shape was indicative of the appearance of tools, but that would just have made things worse.

Job fairs are a favorite location for local television reporters to get in on the recession coverage.
The formula: Get up early; find a long line outside an airport hotel and talk to the poor saps in suits waiting in the rain to be the 200th person to speak to a very young recruiter about a position as shift manager at a retail outlet; edit; broadcast; done. There's a look at the local job search.
But that's not for executives and job seekers trying to find their next six-figure job, right? There are no mid- and senior-level job opportunities and few executives get out of bed expecting to find the next run up the corporate ladder at a job fair in the "Arbors Ballroom C" in the airport Hilton … right?
Yes, said recruiters, job seekers and career coaches we spoke to for a story May 20 (Job Fairs Reach the Senior Ranks), but that doesn't mean you should ignore them.
The recruiters we spoke to said they don't hire many executives at job fairs, but all touted their value.
Don't expect to walk away from a job fair with a job or even a good recruiter contact. Instead, job fairs provide mid- and senior-level executives an opportunity to network, polish their interview skills and dig for job leads.
"Think about it: You're going to a place filled with people with the same professional background, a lot of the same interests, all there to talk about the job market – who's hiring, who's laying people off, what companies are looking for different kind of skills. It's networking," said Irene Marshall, a certified resume writer, career coach and president of coaching service Tools For Transition, who works with TheLadders. "Just being there reminds you that the way you're going to get your next job is through meeting people."
But making the most of the event means attending the right way, doing your homework before and doing more homework after the job fair. Reporter Kevin Fogarty and I worked with recruiters and job seekers who attend such events to craft a checklist (Executives 11-Step Guide to Job Fairs) for executives to get the most out of attending job fairs in their hunt for work.
Some of the less obvious tips:
- Avoid general/government job fairs. Events organized by local government agencies and chambers of commerce tend to be unfocused, involving companies because they're local, not because they're relevant.
- Target a session or recruiter, and get there early. Look at the agenda ahead of time to see if there's a particular session, recruiter or company in which you are interested. Get there early and talk to other early arrivals; they probably have a special interest in the topic or company. Find out what they know and who they know you should talk to. Find out who in the room is influential in that area, and talk to them.
- Don't hover or wait in line. Don't stand still while someone else talks to the contact you want to meet. Pick up the contact's information and leave your card; come back when the contact is free, or follow up later.

Yesterday was supposed to mark the release of Curren$y's album (and accompanying movie—huh) Muscle Car Chronicles, the prolific rapper's first full-length since last year's highly-successful two-part album series Pilot Talk. But it was not meant to be, as Tuesday came and went without album or movie dropping. The New Orleans native told XXL of a "slight slow down in the project," but promised that it was still in the works, and encouraged fans to "stay tuned for a new release date."
In the meantime, those fans can make do with "Frosty," the latest song to leak from the MCC experience. The two-minute track is built around a dubby bass line and swirling, almost carnival-esque organ as the distant-sounding Curren$y raps laconically about having his priorities properly in place. "So in love with that green / That my bitch every day threatens to leave… On a night that it's really cold / I know that money gonna hold me."

This was very practical and cost effective, however, I didn't take into account that I wouldn't want to do 10 days of theme parks in two weeks. I only used 5 days. It's worth having a ticket like this (maybe less days) so you only have to line up on day 1 to get your ticket sorted and then the rest of the time, you can use your Magic Band.
Cheapest I found on the internet and very easy to exchange at Disneyworld. Would recommend
Colin R United Kingdom
We purchased the 10-Day Magic Your Way ticket after finding Viator to be the cheapest price online. The printable voucher is great, I exchanged the voucher for tickets within minutes at the parks ticket counter. The great thing about the voucher is that it acts as your proof of purchase and should you misplace your tickets on holiday you simply have to return to any of the ticket counters for replacement tickets. I will always buy tickets in this manner in the future.
No problems good company to go through but just make sure when you print your voucher that it prints your WHOLE reference number. Our only printed about the first five numbers of the reference number for some reason otherwise touble free!

Sept. 20, 2012
By Gregg Bell - UW Director of Writing
SEATTLE - Most Husky practices last two hours and end with a manager pulling a tire-spinning, ball-throwing machine from a storage container onto the East Field. He then plugs it in.
Kasen Williams habitually takes his place about 10 yards away from the machine. He then stands there snaring dozens of zooming fastballs with outstretched, magnet-like hands.
This happens on those days when Williams is not joining Keith Price for extra routes and throws. On those days, the quarterback and wide receiver are the last two Huskies to come off the field.
"As long as our camaraderie between Keith and our wide outs gets better, as long as that's improving every day, you can see the improvement in him," Williams says. "That's going to bring his stats up, and that's going to bring our stats up.
"And, ultimately, we're going to win more games because of it."
It's a statement of how physically gifted and accomplished he is that after starting as a true freshman last season, finishing second on the Huskies in touchdown catches and providing the highlight play of Washington's 2011 in the Apple Cup, Williams is working harder and staying later for extra drills than he ever has in his athletic career.
He isn't close to being satisfied. Or even comfortable. He doesn't feel he is nearly as prolific or dominant as he - and the Huskies - think he should be.
And it's a statement of how big Washington's plans are to feature the sophomore - for now and for years to come -- that coach Steve Sarkisian has challenged Williams to be one of the best wide receivers in the nation.
As in, now, beginning next Thursday night when the Huskies (2-1) return from their bye against ninth-ranked Stanford (3-0).
"I'm progressing," the thoughtful, introspective Williams said after 15 catches for two touchdowns through three games. "But I still feel like I have a long ways to go."
Williams' self-awareness is as big an asset as his hulking, 6-foot-2, 216-pound body, the one that at times overpowers opponents that try to cover him one on one.
"There are things I can see in my game that are changing, for the better. There are also those little things that I need to work on," he says.
Those little things are the finer points to his game. The main target for Price, along with sophomore tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins, feels he needs more discipline running his routes. If the pattern calls for a 90-degree cut at seven yards, don't do it 89 degrees eight yards downfield. That's what he's done off and on over his first year-plus as a Husky.
He wants to be more physical and effective breaking through coverage near the line of scrimmage against man-to-man coverages. He wants to be smarter and more adept at finding the open spots in zone defenses, which he may see a lot of next week from Stanford. He wants to prepare better and more consistently for defenses and for his own offense's game plans.
These are nuances the son of former Huskies standout receiver Aaron Williams didn't have to worry much about while he was becoming the first Parade magazine national player of the year from the state of Washington. That was in 2010.
At Skyline High School in the Seattle suburb of Sammamish, he was simply better than everybody else.
Williams was the Gatorade state high school player of the year in football and in track and field as a senior as Skyline. Skyline won three state football championships and reached the state finals in all four seasons Williams played that sport for the Spartans.
So he's not used to defeats like Washington's disappointing one two weeks ago at LSU.
"Yeah, it's different. I was thinking about that after the LSU game," he said. "It's different not winning every single game, working harder and preparing harder than you ever have -- and still not seeing the results. Even in high school when we did lose, I still had a pretty good game. This is kind of the opposite.
"So I'm just growing, taking these experiences and growing from them."
Physically, he's towered over his colleagues for years. He finished among the top four in state high-school history in all major career receiving categories. He was a star in basketball at Skyline. And he won the Class 4A state track titles in the triple jump - with a state-record leap of 50 feet, 9¼ inches - plus in the high jump and long jump.
Of course, a lot of the guys he's going up against now from LSU, Stanford, Oregon and USC can claim similar high-school domination.
"Now I just have to take it on another level," Williams said. "I am playing on another level so I have to take my game to another level. Yeah, in high school that was the case (of being superior to most everyone else).
"Now, I have to work on being more technically savvy, and to let my physical ability take over after I have become a better wide receiver and am better at getting open."
Getting open for huge plays is what made his father a Huskies star for Don James from 1979-82. Aaron Williams' career average of 16.6 yards per reception is sixth-best in Huskies history for those who have caught a minimum of 50 passes.
Ask him if it was his father having played here or being able to stay close to home that led him to sign with Washington over LSU and just about every other school in the country that issues shoulder pads, and Williams says: "It was a combination of both of those.
"I like the coaching staff. I felt like we were going in the right direction."
Kasen is wearing the same jersey number his father wore at UW, number 2. And he's already made some wow plays like dad did as a Husky.
Kasen's leap of a stunned, bent-at-the-waist Washington State defensive back in the open field, his athletic landing and run for more yards in last November's Apple Cup is still being relived. It's on countless Huskies' video highlights. It adorns posters across Seattle and framed pictures on the UW campus. People even use it for their Twitter-page backgrounds.
It was the signature play from Williams' breakout game of last season. But 36 catches in 13 games while sharing prime-target status outside with 2011 seniors Jermaine Kearse and Devin Aguilar left Williams feeling unsatisfied.
Those numbers also left Williams driven for 2012.
"With Kasen, about halfway through spring ball something clicked with him," Sarkisian said. "He had a great offseason. He looks in tremendous shape. He's been strong. He's been physical. He's been confident.
"He's really knows what he's doing, so he's doing it confidently."
It's early, but one quarter of the way through this regular season entering tonight Williams is already almost halfway to his total for all of 2011. He's feeling like a bigger asset in the offense -- if not all the way to meeting Sarkisian's challenge of joining the nation's elite.
Not yet, anyway. Then again, he's only a sophomore.
Williams only sounds and looks older.
"(The difference this year) is just being more involved in the offense, for one. Just being stronger. And I'm making more plays than I was last year," he says. "Yeah, it's still early and there's still a lot more playing to go, and I didn't feel like I started off the way I wanted to. But we are still just bonding in trying to figure out how and what we are going to do to get those numbers back up."
Asked what he needs to work on most to perfect his game, beyond those little things, Williams simply said: "To get open more.
"In reality, that's what it comes down to," he said. "Just make the catches and get open."
INSIDE THE DAWGS: The offense continued to drill the changes in line play and passing schemes against Stanford's 3-4 defense that uses more zone pass coverage. UW has primarily faced 4-3, man-to-man teams so far. Thursday's practice also featured situational work, including a 42-yard field goal simulated as a last-second kick that Travis Coons made to end the day. Teammates celebrated Coons' make as if it was a game ender - and celebrated the start of a day and a half off. The players return Saturday afternoon to prepare for the Thursday night game. "We got some early game-plan stuff for Stanford. We addressed some issues that needed addressed," Sarkisian said. ... Huskies coaches left campus following practice to spread up and down the West Coast and as far east as Texas to recruit high-school games. College football programs are allowed one weekend in season that an entire staff can go out on recruiting visits en masse. This bye weekend is UW's, and the coaches were boarding flights soon after practice. "I love it. This is our livelihood. I love being out," said Sarkisian, who was headed to Southern California. "I don't get to go out in the spring and recruit (per NCAA rules for a head coach). I want to hit it as hard and fast as we can."

Sex and violence, both artfully implied, are the running themes in Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. Its debut in 1960 was the climax of a pre-production hell that was rife with budget constraints, casting problems, and meddling from censors. This seminal suspense film would set the trend for all slasher flicks to come. In an age where at least two to three slasher and suspense films are churned out by Hollywood every year, Hitchcock's Psycho was the film that no one wanted to be made.
The content was deemed too gory and racy, needless to say that the industry has a completely different attitude about such content now. However, it has been over 40 years since Psycho debuted on the silver screen and the question that begs answering is has it withstood the test of time? Some classics retain their potency well into the coming years while others clearly show their age. So the question that begs answering is which category Psycho falls into; is it as riveting since its debut or has it fallen prey to time and been reduced to being merely quaint?
Hitchcock's seminal thriller, upon viewing, is anything but a quaint little suspense film. Psycho still invokes a range of emotions that runs the gamut from sympathy, to abject horror. The score, photography, editing, and performances from the cast all contribute to a masterpiece that expertly plays with the audience's feelings.
The infamous shower scene still invokes the horror of dying so vulnerably, and its effect is greatly magnified by the fact that the audience has come to care for Marion Crane (Janet Leigh). Her motives, and actions are relatable and her general demeanor is one that engenders sympathy. Marion Crane comes across as very self-possessed and passionate but certainly not a brainless slut, though she's scripted to die in a very messy and infamous scene. Modern day horror and slasher flicks play up the audience's cynicism regarding the intended victims by imbuing said victim with a host of negative qualities such as promiscuity, naiveté, and narcissism. Hitchcock on the other hands chose to show Marion Crane as a good person committing a crime for noble reasons.
The opening shot of her and Sam Loomis (John Gavin) alone in bed are erotic without being tawdry. The implication is that the couple has just finished making love, yet there remains a longing between the two that is forcefully personified in a kiss following Marion's vow to remain by Loomis' in spite of his financial woes. The minimal lighting and tight shots establish a sense of great intimacy, and the two actors smolder in their desire and bitterness at the circumstances that prevent their union. Sam Loomis' decision to track down his lover needs no further explanation after this scene.
The first twenty minutes are suspenseful in their own right, as one wonders when and if Crane will be apprehended for her pilfering. However, when rewatching the film the suspense is taken up a notch when one realizes that the imposing cop and the smarmy but concerned car salesman are Crane's last chance at salvation; had she confessed she would have never found herself at the Bates' motel and in the company of her killer. The shower scene in Psycho has often been likened to an allegory for baptism gone horribly awry; where Marion Crane would have washed away her sins and owned up to her mistakes she ends up being butchered. The extended focus on the blood washing down the drain is symbolic of her life being carried away in a torrent of violence into a dark place from which she will never return.
Anthony Perkins' performance as Norman Bates also holds up, as one initially has a hard time believing that he will eventually be revealed as the iconic cross-dressing serial killer with an Oedipus complex. Norman Bates comes across as a sweetly awkward and attractive man held captive by his duty to an ailing mother at the onset. Even when he spies on Marion Crane undressing he comes across as being cautious, not perverse, though the scene is very voyeuristic in construction. Perkin's plays Bates without a hint of insanity initially and he maintains this until the climatic reveal.
The oft discussed shower scene is still gut wrenching as the idea of dying in the bathroom in the nude, invoking perhaps and almost infantile vulnerability, hits too close to home. However, there are other scenes just as shocking littered throughout the film that induces similar if not worse reactions. The death of investigator Arbogast is one that comes readily to mind if only because it beats the shower scene in how sudden and unexpected it is. The overhead camera angle that Hitchcock utilized to film the murder both maintained the mystery around Mrs. Bates and allowed the viewer to take a bird's eye, almost voyeuristic view. The iconic score shrieking violins are as sudden as Mrs.Bates' appearance and lend to further upset the lull the audience has fallen into.
The subsequent shot of Arbogast falling down the stairs is ambitious but rather awkward looking nowadays and is probably the only scene in the film that seems so. Perhaps what is also unsettling is that the thickset investigator is easily dispatched by an old woman or at least someone who we are led to believe is old and female. The audience does believe that Arbogast can handle, as he states, an elderly invalid however this is Mrs. Bates we're dealing with here. The other scene that strikes straight to the core is Norman Bates, in drag with a knife and a crazed expression, bursting upon Lila Crane (Vera Miles) as she discovers the desiccated remains of his mother.
In the horror- suspense genre the most disturbing scenarios are the ones implied. It's the story that isn't explicitly told, the tale underneath, that haunts the viewer afterwards. Norman Bates' incestuous relationship with his mother is hinted at ominously with only a few lines of dialogue, the significance of which only becomes clear in the epilogue. This is all that's needed for the audience to construct their own conception of the twisted background. The murders, similarly, are all filmed with tightly controlled shots and without explicit gore leaving the audience trying to see around the flailing limbs at the enshadowed, feminine demon that stalks the Bates Motel.
Psycho, in a nutshell, is not only the template which every filmmaker interested in the horror or suspense genre should study, but also a thoroughly enjoyable film. It has withstood the test of time and stands as a testament to the importance of quality filmmaking. The scenes still shock, the music still punches up the tensions and the acting is still top notch.

A Non-Denominational Ministry of Our Heavenly Father
Sharing the Word of God... World-Wide
The 'Blessed in God" say
"I get to go to Church"
"Living the life of a Christian" and saying that you "Go to church on Sundays" are two different things all together. If only Christians went to church, there would be little point in having an Altar Call.
Going to church on Sunday should be "like getting a fill up of gas for your car". On Sunday, you should get "a fill up" for your soul and Spirit at church. It should be a time you have the "Family Reunion" with your Christian brothers and sisters. Going to church is not a chore, it is a Blessing.
We go there to worship our Holy Father, His Son, and give thanks for all He has done for us that week. Many times I have heard people say "I have to go to church". The 'Blessed in God" say "I get to go to Church" or " I want to go to church" Do you see the difference?
We all know God loves us (John 3:16), but to be able to confess to others, your love for God, is what will make a difference in your life. It is easier to say you love YOUR father, than to say you love your NEIGHBORS father. God is
Holy Father, and I am proud to say it.
I am in awe that He knows me. The Creator of all things loves me the same way I love my children! Can it get any better than that? Some people do not know what worship means, but then, that is a message in itself.
Psalm 19:14
New International Version
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
King James Version
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

In the same newspaper, the same day it read that the Monpelier Police estimate that over 100 cars were broken into while four were stolen. I don't know why it isn't on their website though, yet for a state capital with 8,000 residents I have been listening to radio news, reading in the papers that crime is on the rise. One radio news broadcast ( vpr.net ) said that one man held up a general store with a gun and the appologized.Quote:
East Calais General Store targeted again
EAST CALAIS A tiny general store in the outskirts of central Vermont has been targeted by thieves for the second time in less than a week.
On Thursday evening, a masked man wielding a gun walked into the East Calais General Store and demanded money from the register, according to the store clerk. He left the store with $1,400 after cutting the phone cord and kicking the clerk's 4-month-old daughter across the floor in her car seat, she said.
Early Sunday morning, the same clerk, Darci Herdling, entered the store and found a note demanding money, police said. The note, apparently left sometime overnight, included instructions "on what to do," police said.
"I can't elaborate on what the note said," Lt. Paul White with the Vermont State Police said.
White also would not say whether Herdling complied with the demands before police became involved. But he said the incident Sunday was not nearly as serious as the robbery reported on Thursday.
"I don't want to minimize the seriousness of the offense, but it wasn't a situation where someone came into the store with a gun on two separate occasions," White said. Herdling detailed her ordeal with the robbery in an interview with The Times Argus last week. The gunman, she said, ordered her into the back of the store, refusing to let her take baby Cheyenne Rose with her, swore at her and threatened her and the baby. She said she immediately began following his instructions to move to the back of the store.
"I thought he was leaving and I turned around to come get my baby. He came at me and got in between me and her, pointed the gun at her head, pointed it at mine, pointed it at her," Herdling said. "Then he kicked her across the deli floor."
White said he empathized with residents' angst but noted that the events were not reason to believe the town is under siege.
"It does cause us to be a little more vigilant," White said. "But I don't want people to think that because of these two incidents in East Calais that suddenly a crime spree is going on."
East Calais General Store targeted again: Times Argus Online
Has anyone else noticed an increase in crime around where they live?

MERGA Annual Conference Papers: Style and Format Specification
Next MERGA Conference
2016 (MERGA 39): Adelaide
I would like to welcome delegates to the 39th annual conference of the Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia. The annual conference provides participants with the opportunity to engage in professionally stimulating activities in a highly supportive environment.
The conference will be held in Adelaide for the first time since 1999, and will be coordinated by colleagues from the University of South Australia and Flinders University, under the theme of 'Opening Up Mathematics Education Research'.
The theme of this year's conference is highly relevant to practitioners and researchers alike. Access to "big data" and the increasingly open-access nature of information requires new research tools and affords opportunities to study classroom practices in sophisticated ways.
I hope to see you in Adelaide to engage in this exciting program.
Tom Lowrie

Frank Zappa: Blessed Relief
Blessed Relief
Frank Zappa & the Mothers
The Grand Wazoo (Rykodisc 10517)
Frank Zappa (lead guitar), George Duke (keyboards), Sal Marquez (trumpet), Mike Altschul (reeds), Joel Peskin (reeds), Tony Duran (rhythm guitar), Aynsley Dunbar (drums),
Alex Dmochowski [aka 'Erroneous'] (bass).
Composed by Frank Zappa.
Recorded: Hollywood, April-May, 1972
Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
"Jazz is the music of unemployment," Zappa once quipped. But Miles Davis showed, with his 1969 Bitches Brew sessions, that the proper mixture of jazz and rock could produce a gold record. Zappa dug deeper and deeper into jazz-oriented material during the pre- and post-Bitches period, and though efforts such as The Grand Wazoo and Waka / Jawaka did not sell as well as Davis's or Hancock's fusion projects -- or even Zappa's own edgier, scatological efforts -- they have held up well with the passing years. "Blessed Relief" is a catchy jazz waltz that could almost pass for a Blue Note hard-bop chart. Sal Marquez and George Duke contribute first-rate solos, and Zappa follows with some tasty guitar lines that are very, very jazzy. If he had kept this up, Frank might have been applying for unemployment benefits. But just in the nick of time, Zappa ended his jazz period. The next year, he had his first charted single with "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow," which would not be appropriate for a hard-bop recording.

QSC AG takes over encryption specialist FTAPI
(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 26 February 2014 Release date- 25022014 - Cologne - QSC AG, the leading ICT provider for medium-sized businesses in Germany, takes over 51 per cent of the shares in the Munich based FTAPI Software GmbH, a company specializing in encrypted data exchange between business customers.
The start-up was founded in 2010 and offers a range of products around high-security transfer and storage of confidential company data. With FTAPI, files can be transferred and stored at different security levels, from an SSL download link to an end-to-end encryption. The features can easily be integrated in existing CRM and ERP systems like SAP and Salesforce as well as in e-mail solutions like Outlook.
The particularity: The encryption is very easy to handle, it works also with large data volumes in the gigabyte range and is available as a local software solution as well as a cloud service. Furthermore, FTAPI has developed branch-specific solutions, for example for transport, manufacturing, trade, media and finance.
With the acquisition of the security specialist QSC intensifies as planned the in-house development of innovative cloud-based services. At the same time FTAPI benefits from QSC's high-security data centres, the efficient distribution channels and the client base of over 30,000 business customers.
'Since the latest NSA spying scandal the security issue has become very important. FTAPI's own software development and their contemporary products are totally in line with this topic', says Juergen Hermann Chief Executive Officer of the QSC AG, stating a reason for the acquisition and emphasizes: 'This is only the beginning. We want to keep providing companies and creative minds the opportunity to continue to develop their innovative products and to market them efficiently. This is part of our ICT strategy.' The total market for IT security in Germany has been growing steadily for a long time with growth rates of five per cent a year. QSC projects the submarket for IT security software relevant for FTAPI at currently 800 million euros with an annual growth of at least 10 per cent a year.
The company FTAPI GmbH already has renowned businesses among their customers such as Hochland Group, MAN Roland and SSI Schaefer. The two company founders and managing directors, Stephan Niedermeier and Daniel Niesler, will remain shareholders and continue to develop FTAPI for QSC in the years to come. They emphasize: 'For us, QSC is the ideal partner. As far as we are concerned, there is no German company apart from QSC with a comparably high innovation speed which will influence the ICT market in such a significant way in the years to come.' The QSC AG buys the main part of their shares from the lead investor High-Tech Gruenderfonds as well as from Bayern Kapital and Gebrueder Mende GmbH.
Romy Schnelle, Senior Investment Manager of High-Tech Gruenderfonds, accompanied FTAPI on their way to this successful exit in only two years: 'We are very pleased about the strong partnership between QSC and FTAPI. The merging of the two companies generates a high potential in distribution as well as in the technical product development.' Arno Nonnen, Dr. Schwarz-Schilling & Partners, worked as an M&A advisor for FTAPI.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have.
