Drishti, a provider of contact center solutions including a predictive dialer, recently revealed that IonIdea has implemented its Ameyo Solution to enhance its customer acquisition and customer service process.
Ameyo offers tailor-made business packages to organizations with different key requirements. Its ACD, IP-PBX (News - Alert), IVR, IVR designer, predictive dialer, CTI, voice logger, reporting, quality and CRM are some of the key elements of the company's innovative suite of products. And the predictive dialer has scored the best overall test results in international dialing scenarios.
In a press release, Anurag Vishwakarma, director of IonIdea stated, "Being a key player in the domain of outsourcing, reaching out to customers forms a crucial part of our business process. Our existing application was unable to perform in the high-demanding environment of international customer handling. We needed a solution that could automate the entire inbound/outbound process and enable smooth service delivery. Ameyo replaced the former solution and it responded well to any dialing configurations and dramatically increased our customer-connects and hence improved our customer acquisition and customer service processes."
The expert team from Drishti integrated the current CRM system deployed in IonIdea with the Ameyo solution, which further provided the technology company with a quick and easy management of information. This solution also helped to increase efficiency significantly.
The CRM integration was aptly accessed by the agents as they interacted with customers either through the ACD or predictive dialer system depending on the business process. The implementation enabled IonIdea to gain access to an innovative and reliable solution that enhanced processes specific to individual business needs.
Last month, predictive dialer provider SpitFire revealed that its dialer now boasts additional capabilities including allowing manual dialing to be completed with numbers that have already been checked against No Call Lists. The new feature will make it easy for agents to make manual calls along with calls being placed from the dialer, without having to worry if they are calling a number on the "No Call" list which will result in multiple consequences including high fines from the FCC (News - Alert).
To read the full report, click here.
Related definitions that you should know as you increase your understanding of predictive dialers include:
Dialer: generic term for any computer-driven device that places outbound calls and connects the answered calls to an agent or operator.
Agent: telephone professional to whom a predictive dialer sends the ready call.
Predictive Dialer: Predictive dialing was introduced for the purpose of increasing efficiency within calling centers. They are computer based system that automatically dial groups of telephone numbers, and then passes live calls to available agents. The SpitFire Enterprise dialer utilizes sophisticated algorithms to speed up and slow down the call rate based on, number of available agents, number of available lines, the campaign's average call time and other statistical information.
Quick Connect: Quick Connect allows your agents to log in one-to-one with a phone line. This option is great for B2B purposes, especially when your agent needs to be on the phone line through the entire call.
Fixed Dialing: Fixed Dialing gives your call center manager the power to manually set the volume of calls. The software will then automatically dial a predetermined number of lines per agent. Fixed dialing is ideal for political campaigns, charity campaigns, and other situations drop call ratios are not a factor.
Auto dialer: makes thousands of calls screening for busy signals, no answers, fax machines while detecting answering machines/voicemail and delivers pre-recorded messages. SpitFireX Auto Dialer is a low cost solution for voice broadcasting.
Predictive dialers use complex mathematical algorithms that calculate, in real time:
SpitFire Enterprise Predictive SEP is a fully blended call center solution that supports unlimited lines, agents, and campaigns. Its greatest strength is in its flexibility: multiple campaigns can be set up, viewed, and changed with the click of a button. With easy options for customization, data and dispositions can be catered to each campaign. In addition to our user-friendly interface, SEPhighlights full customer data and combines multiple campaigns on one screen. All the information your agents need is accessible at a glance, freeing their energy to focus on what matters: the calls.

Does Your Brand Tell A Story?
In today's fast evolving world of "technology driven communications" and "online interaction," having a viable, if not dynamic, presence on the Internet has become the new law of survival. Large and mid-size companies have already adapted their marketing strategies to embracing this new concept and have shifted their advertisement dollars, and focus, to building stronger customer relations through a more aggressive involvement in Internet marketing campaigns. But where does that leave small businesses?
Well, the same laws of survival apply to small business owners. With more and more consumers turning to the Internet to find the information they need to make buying decisions, your business may very well run the risk of not being considered a "credible business" without a professionally designed website and a visible online presence. At Social Media Footprints, we realize that most business owners are already consumed with their day-to-day demands and don't have the time required to navigate the maze of social media networks, stay current with the latest social media jargon, research strategies for optimizing their website on search engines or managing Internet marketing campaigns.
Social Media Footprints will help you design and optimize a professional website, create and implement a winning Internet marketing strategy and assist in maintaining a compelling presence on social media networks. We free up your time and resources so you and your team can focus on what your business does best.

Matousek to retain Volusia County clerk post
Published: Tuesday, November 6, 2012 at 9:30 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 6, 2012 at 9:30 p.m.
Diane Matousek will likely serve another term as Volusia's County Clerk of Court. Preliminary results show Matousek leading the race against Christine Sanders with more than 60 percent of the vote.
By 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, Matousek said she was confident that she won the race.
"I believe that Volusia County voters understand and appreciate how our team serves the public," Matousek said. "I am humbled to have won this election and I thank everyone who has voted."
Matousek, 57, has served in her position for nearly 20 years and touted her experience throughout her campaign. The Republican from Orange City said she plans to bring technological improvements to the clerk's office such as an e-filing system and streamlining services.
The clerk's office was scheduled to update an outdated mainframe system over Labor Day weekend but that goal has been pushed back to later this year. The update would make it easier for the public to access criminal records. Matousek said that despite the delay she was committed to seeing it through.
Sanders, 42, is a former deputy clerk for the county and left her job as an office resource specialist for Volusia County Public Schools to run for office. She ran as an independent for the position of clerk.

Zalesky likes makeup of 2014 recruiting class
Related Links
Zalesky announces 2014-15 recruiting class
Corvallis, Ore. – A six-time USA Wrestling national champion and state champions from Oregon, Washington, Hawaii and Illinois highlight this year's Oregon State wrestling recruiting class. They will join the program for the 2014-15 season.
"This class fits the way we like to wrestle," OSU coach Jim Zalesky said. "We feel we can develop them, build on the skills they already have, and they will add a lot to the room."
Zalesky said how soon they hit the mat depends on how the current upperclassmen develop, how quickly the newest Beavers adapt to college wrestling, and how hard they're willing to work.
"They could contribute right away," he said of the newcomers. "My philosophy is, who does the job in competition" dictates the lineup. "It's how guys compete."
Projected 125-pounder Ronny Bresser of Henley High School in Klamath Falls is the most decorated of the seven incoming Beavers.
He is a three-time Oregon high school champion, a two-time USA Wrestling national champion in Freestyle, Greco-Roman and Folkstyle , and an 11-time USA Wrestling All-American in the three styles.
"He's a three-time state champ in Oregon, a lot of people know about him," Zalesky said. "He sat out last year to get bigger. He's fun to watch, he entertaining, people are going to like him."
Kegan Calkins of Montini Catholic High in Wheaton, Ill., will compete at 125 or 133 pounds. He won the Illinois 126-pound 2A state championship as a senior, was a two-time USA Wrestling Greco-Roman All-American, and was the USA Wrestling Greco-Roman national runner-up at 126 pounds in 2014.
"Kegan is a late bloomer," Zalesky said. "He came on his senior year after transferring" to Montini Catholic, an Illinois powerhouse with connections to Zalesky and to assistant Kevin Roberts on its coaching staff. "He has a lot of upside.
"With Pat Rollins being a senior, 125 was a key weight. This class will help solidify that weight class."
Projected 184-pounder Corey Griego of Sultana High in Hesperia, Calif., was 161-27 overall with 92 falls for the Sultans. He placed second twice and fifth once at the California state tournament, and was a four-time Mohave River League and CIF champion.
He was the champion of the preseason Southwest Kickoff Tournament (the Freak Show), the champion of the Doc Buchanan Invitational, and a three-time placer at the Ironman, a prestigious high school tournament. He was also a three-time Masters champion.
"He's a grinder, he's my style of kid," Zalesky said. "I love the way he wrestles. He's tough on top, and fits the collegiate style well. He's still young. He just turned 18 and has a lot of room for growth."
"This was a big class for us, we had a hole there at 184" with 2014 lettermen Brian Engdahl and Austin Morehead graduating after the upcoming season. "Corey fills a need for us."
Heavyweight Nathan Sorenson of Kittitas High in Kittitas, Wash., was a two-time Class 1B/2B state champion before taking two years off of wrestling to play baseball at Lower Columbia Community College. He will have three years of eligibility remaining. Kittitas is in Central Washington, near Ellensburg.
Projected 165-pounder Rodney Williams of James B. Castle High in Kaneohe, Hawaii, won the 2014 state title at 170 pounds and took third at the 2013 state tournament.
"He has some ability; once he gets here we'll see how he does," Zalesky said.
Windsor, Colo., High graduate Kennen Lanteri was 51-3 and won the 152-pound state championship as a senior in 2013-14. He projects as a 157-pounder. Windsor is a Fort Collins suburb.
"Jordan Henrickson on our team is from Colorado [nearby Loveland], and [OSU letterman] Monty Trusty coached him, so we had a good in with him," Zalesky said. "He's a middleweight and we think he'll develop."
Another projected 157-pounder, Kjell Thorsen of Grants Pass High in Grants Pass, was a two-time 5A state-tournament placer for the Cavemen, taking fifth and second.
"We had him in camp in 2013," Zalesky said. "He should add a lot to our room."

Okay, I promised a preview, here it is: http://img114.imageshack.us/img114/1610/penguincardpreview.png I'd also like an opinion: should the face cards use a "simplified" version of Tux (I am thinking specifically, less shading, more outlines, i.e. more like the suit glyphs and numbers)? If yes, I can handle the missing elements (bonnet/hair/whatever for the queen, crown for the king). If no, I would appreciate if some other aspiring artist that has a better shot of matching the style of the Tux graphics could take a shot. In the above preview, I intentionally left some of the old PNG versions to show what I mean about the change in style of the face cards. (As far as progress, I basically have completed what you see, plus the diamond face cards, and I have the club glyph. Most of the work however is boring stuff; using the text tool, and a LOT of making and positioning clones. Other than the added elements that distinguish the king/queen from the jack, the art is all completed and just needs assembling.)(Continue reading)

Aven: Putin Should Follow Pinochet
- By Andrei Zolotov Jr.
- Apr. 01 2000 00:00
As the influential capitalists, known as oligarchs, position themselves in the new Vladimir Putin era, one of them - Alfa Group president Pyotr Aven - urged the president-elect to resort to "totalitarian force" to advance "liberal reforms."
In an interview published Friday in the The Guardian, Aven said Putin should model his regime after that of Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet and combine Reaganomics with dictatorial controls.
"The only way ahead is for fast liberal reforms, building public support for the path but also using totalitarian force to achieve that. Russia has no other choice," Aven is quoted in English as saying.
In another report by Western reporter, Aven described a conversation with Putin that took place late last year before he was appointed acting president. Putin reportedly asked Aven whether the government should continue allowing independent television channels like NTV to operate. "I responded that of course it should," Le Monde quoted Aven as saying. "There have to be equal conditions for the oligarchs."
Alfa Group spokesman, Andrei Nosonovsky, confirmed Friday that Aven was quoted correctly. The interview with The Guardian took place Wednesday, Nosonovsky said. The Le Monde report was based on a conversation with Aven at a dinner party several weeks ago, in which he recalled his talks with Putin in December.
"Aven did not advise Putin of anything," Nosonovsky said. "He simply expressed his opinion."
Aven told The Guardian that the government may have to resort to extralegal means to fight crime and corruption. "Nobody follows the law in this country," he was quoted as saying. "Pinochet tried to enforce obedience to the law and sometimes that's difficult for a country. Sometimes you need to use force. The only role of the state is to use force when needed. ... You can't always fight criminals by staying within the law. You can't always do it peacefully."
At the same time, Aven denied that he was urging a return to Soviet-era repression, the British newspaper said.
Aven said he saw similarities between the situations in Russia and in Chile. "I'm a supporter of Pinochet, not as a person but as a politician who produced results for his country. He was not corrupt. He supported his team of economists for 10 years. You need strength for that. I see that parallel here. There are similarities in the situation."
Interviews with the Western press, which are then picked up by the local media, have been among the oligarchs' favorite means of sending public messages to one another and to those in power.
The Segodnya daily, which like NTV is owned by Vladimir Gusinsky's Media-MOST and has been used to project Gusinsky's interests, wrote Friday in a front-page article that Putin's question about the fate of NTV revealed his attitude toward Gusinsky, whose media have not obediently followed the Kremlin line.
Commenting on Kremlin aide Vladislav Surkov's reported comparison of Boris Berezovsky and Gusinsky to "bacteria" who live in disintegrating bodies, Segodnya said that "the Kremlin is initiating a show flogging for manageable Berezovsky in order to properly 'waste' unmanageable Gusinsky."

Energy drinks and adolescents – a risky combination— published: 04-08-2013
Energy drinks have been in the news lately, mostly due to media reporting on a group (doctors, researchers, scientists, and politicians) writing to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to express concern over the use of these drinks by adolescents. Much of the concern has to do with the amounts of caffeine in these drinks, among other issues. Energy drinks also may contain large amounts of other stimulants, including guarana, yohimbe, yerba mate, kola nut, methylsynephrine, Citrus aurantium (Bitter Orange), and Ma Huang (ephedra). Although listing the total amount of caffeine on the label would help, consumers should be aware that there are often other stimulants in energy drinks.
The American Academy of Pediatrics has written several articles over the last year about the potential risks associated with the adolescent population using energy drinks. One very recent article outlines the harmful effects of energy drinks on adolescents, including increased heart rate, high blood pressure, anxiety, digestive problems, sleep disturbances, and dehydration. The withdrawal effects after habitually consuming energy drinks is also an issue, as it can lead to headaches and attention problems. Also, the ingestion of energy drinks by adolescents who take prescription drugs for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or who have eating disorders or diabetes is another topic of concern.
The amount of caffeine contained in energy drinks is not regulated, as the FDA does not regulate caffeine in foods or beverages, except that the maximum concentration for caffeine in cola beverages is 71 mg per 12 oz. The amount of caffeine in energy drinks ranges from 50 to more than 500 mg per can or bottle. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children and teens drink no more than 100 mg of caffeine per day. To put that in perspective, an eight-ounce cup of coffee typically contains about 100 mg of caffeine (or more), and the most popular caffeine-containing sodas contain around 30 to 55 mg in a 12 oz. can. Not knowing how much caffeine and other stimulants are contained in energy drinks is a potential health threat.
Furthermore, the caffeine and other stimulants contained in the energy drinks, when combined with alcohol, can mask the symptoms of alcohol intoxication, potentially leading to risky behavior. The American Academy of Pediatrics advises parents and doctors to talk to children about the dangers of mixing alcohol and energy drinks, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a fact sheet on the potential risks.
Parents, educators, and healthcare professionals need to focus on educating adolescents about potential problems associated with consuming these high-stimulant products. Companies are heavily marketing their products by featuring athletic superstars, which causes children and adolescents to confuse energy drinks with sports drinks. Generally speaking, adolescents don't need energy drinks, and they should be made aware of the potential dangers. It's definitely a case of "buyer beware."

County Donegal in the Republic of Ireland, noted for its rugged terrain, beaches, and breathtaking scenery, is also close by. Belfast and other sights in Northern Ireland are easily accessible via public transportation. More information about the Magee campus is here.

Housing and MealsStudents at Magee College are normally housed on campus in single-occupancy bedroom-studies in residence halls or student houses. Cooking facilities are available.
ISEP-Exchange students will receive a stipend to cover expenses for groceries and/or meals at cafeterias and restaurants. Please note: due to administrative procedures at Ulster, the stipend check will not be available until one or two weeks after the student's arrival on campus and students will need to open a bank account to deposit it. port between the campuses is quick and frequent. Cooking facilities are available in each apartment or residence hall. Exchange students will receive a stipend to cover expenses for groceries and/or meals at cafeterias and restaurants. Please note: due to administrative procedures at Ulster, the stipend check will not be available until one or two weeks after the student"s arrival on campus and students will need to open a bank account to deposit it. Students should therefore be prepared to pay for some meals upfront until the stipend is issued. The stipend does not apply to ISEP-Direct students; they should budget appropriately to pay directly for their groceries and/or meals. ISEP Central can provide guidance on the average cost of meals per semester if needed.
Student ActivitiesStudents at the Magee College have the best of both worlds: Living in Londonderry, Northern Ireland's "second city," they have a wealth of social and cultural opportunities at their fingertips. Meanwhile, close proximity to the River Foyle and mountainous County Donegal make this campus the place to be for those who love outdoor activities like sailing, canoeing, rock-climbing, hiking, and even surfing! The University"s Students' Union offers a wide range of clubs to get involved with, including sports, religious, and international societies. Options for club sports include basketball, rugby, surfing, soccer, Gaelic football, and more. Make friends with local students by joining a walking club or learning to play rugby! Students who enter the UK on the Student Visa (not as a Student Visitor) are also eligible to get part-time employment.
ProfileThe University of Ulster is a community-based, comprehensive institution that stresses academic programs, social service, and vocational, technical and professional training. It is composed of four campuses, each with its own distinct character: Belfast, Coleraine, Jordanstown, and Magee College. Students are placed at a campus according to their academic needs and it is not possible for students to study at more than one campus at a time. With enrollment totaling about 4,000 students, Magee College is one of the smaller campuses, and is situated compactly on about two city blocks. The main historic building features beautiful, neo-Gothic architecture, while the other buildings span an eclectic mix of old and modern. A new state-of-the-art library was just built, which houses excellent computer labs within its modern, steel and glass exterior. There are also indoor and outdoor sports and fitness facilities. Public transportation links the campuses.
ISEP-Exchange programs allow students to participate in reciprocal exchanges with students at ISEP member institutions worldwide, while paying their home university tuition. Students attending US universities that are ISEP-Exchange members are eligible to apply for these programs at other international ISEP-Exchange member universities. Chances of placement vary by location.
ISEP-Direct programs allow students to enroll directly in a host institution abroad, instead of exchanging places with another student. Chances of placement are typically excellent for qualified applicants and some sites offer special academic programs and excursions. Students attending US universities that are either ISEP-Exchange members or ISEP-Direct members can participate in ISEP-Direct programs abroad.

This post adresses at least two subjects, but I couldn't find the right place for them, if needed I will repost them at the right place.
I am interested in this project and trying to get some more information about current activities and ideas/plans on the project. But I can not access the developers mailing list on sourceforge ("Permission Denied. Access to this page is restricted (either to project members or to project administrators) and you do not meet the requirements to access this page. Please contact the administrator of this project for further assistance.").
The existing forums don't fit my need, they are platform specific, maybe there should be a forum for leJos developers.
My idea is to use the tinyvm part for other microcontrollers (like haikuVM uses it for e.g. Arduino), but then integrated into the leJos project. So there would be only one location to maintain the tinyVM code.
I also would like to replace bcel with asm (bcel is not actively maintained and asm looks quite nice), but that transition is too big for me to do on my own, I would need help from developers of the leJos project. On github you can find my progress on using asm on project HaikuVM2.

FDA/FTC Urged to Halt Cholesterol-Lowering Claims for Garlic Supplements
WASHINGTON - Garlic supplements do not lower cholesterol levels for periods long enough to do much good, so dietary supplement companies should stop telling consumers they do, says the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI). In petitions filed today, CSPI urged the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to halt cholesterol-reduction claims for garlic supplements manufactured by Kwai, One A Day, Nature Made, Centrum Herbals, and several other companies. CSPI called the manufacturers claims false and misleading.
In its October report, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services found that garlic supplements did not lower cholesterol for periods long enough to improve health, yet manufacturers of popular garlic supplements continue to claim they do, stated David Schardt, CSPI associate nutritionist.
AHRQ evaluated 37 randomized trials that tested the effect of garlic on blood cholesterol levels. Small reductions occurred when participants took garlic for one to three months, but not when they took it for six months or longer.
Since prolonged elevation of blood cholesterol levels promotes cardiovascular disease, a product that lowers levels for only a few months is virtually useless, said Schardt, who was a member of the AHRQ advisory panel.
Many manufacturers make misleading labeling claims about the cholesterol-lowering effects of garlic supplements, said Ilene Ringel Heller, a CSPI senior staff attorney. Were urging the FDA to step in and immediately put a halt to the claims.
CSPI petitioned the FDA, which regulates supplement labeling, to stop the following products from making false and misleading labeling claims:
CSPI petitioned the FTC, which regulates supplement advertising, to stop false and misleading advertisements made by the following companies:
The FTC should coordinate more effectively with the FDA and make sure that deceptive claims are stopped in advertising as well as labeling, stated Leila Leoncavallo, a CSPI senior staff attorney.

The New York Aquarium is proud to announce the debut of new male harbor seal pup, born May 27th. He is just the second member of his species to be born at the Coney Island facility during the past 15 years. The Aquarium currently has three harbor seals which living in its Sea Cliffs exhibit together with walruses, sea lions, sea otters and penguins.
"He has already made an impression on visitors and staff," exclaimed Jon Forrest Dohlin, WCS Vice President and Director of the New York Aquarium. "He is a delightful addition to the aquarium and a treat to everyone who comes through the facility while we work to recover from Hurricane Sandy and toward the opening of Ocean Wonders: Sharks!"
Although the pup weighed in at 22 pounds at birth, he is growing fast, gaining about ½-1 pound a day, and is expected to eventually tip the scales at a hefty 250 pounds when fully mature.
Although there are plenty of harbor seals off the coast of New York City and Long Island, they are protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act. . The New York Aquarium (part of the Wildlife Conservation Society's network of zoological parks in the City, including the Bronx Zoo, Queens and Prospect Zoos) strives to protect them and as well as all local marine life through conservation and research programs.
The New York Aquarium, which is located at Surf Ave. at W. 8th St. is open every day of the year. Summer hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Fall/winter/spring hours are 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., daily. Tickets are $11.95 per person (ages 3 & up), and include Aquarium admission plus one admission to the new 4-D Theater; children age 2 and under are admitted free. For directions, information on public events and programs, and other aquarium information, call 718-265-FISH or visit our web site at http://www.nyaquarium.com .

Grant Achatz Fights to Save His Life and Taste
'The New Yorker' profiles Grant Achatz, the brilliant young chef who lost his sense of taste to tongue cancer.
This week's New Yorker has a gripping profile of Grant Achatz, the brilliant chef of Chicago's Alinea who recently endured a life-threatening bout with tongue cancer. The profile describes a healthy but still pained young chef struggling to maintain his place as one of the country's leading cooks without the ability to, at least as yet, taste anything that he makes. The story is sort of tragic, sort of heroic, and definitely great.

I'll be watching it. I've been a Saints Fan since they began, and we've had some really lean years. Finally got us a Lombardi trophy though, so we're proud of our boys. Roger Goodell ruined our season this year with his punishment for "Bountygate" that ended up thrown out, after most of the season was over. Hard to play a team sport without your head coach.
I hate the "strutting" "Look at Me" crap too, even when my team does it too. I bet I holler "Act like you've made a play before" a hundred times a game. :)
I'd like the 49'rs to ruin the dream of the double homicide doer that plays for the Ravens. He should be in prison, and would be if he hadn't been a millionaire able to buy his way out of that jam in Atlanta.
WHO DAT!! Be safe.

Are there any particular term for a pair $(U;A)$ where $U$ is a set and $A\in\mathscr{P}U$? That is, saying informally, $(U;A)$ is a set $A$ together with a set $U$ on which $A$ is defined ($A$ is defined as a subset of $U$).

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
For more general situations of this kind, there are indeed names.
For example, one can talk about filtration, if you have a set of sets with certain inclusion properties.
If the sets are vector spaces, this is a (very trivial) flag.
But normally, one does not use this terminology for the simple situation of "a set and a subset". You can view it as an element of the inclusion relation, but there are few contexts where this would be helpful.

Researchers from the National Institute of Health are conducting a study using people who volunteer to become infected with the flu in hopes of coming up with a better vaccine, Medical Daily reported Sunday, Jan. 26, 2014.
But volunteers aren't just raising their hands for what they perceive as the greater good of society, they're being compensated – and quite nicely at that. Paying $3,000 a pop, the NIH hasn't had any trouble recruiting 100 volunteers for the rare live study.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, a few thousand Americans die each year from the flu, but experts still claim that the vaccines are working.
"Vaccines are working, but we could do better," study leader Matthew Memoli said in an interview with the Associated Press.
Yet experts admit that they don't know why some of those who receive the flu vaccine still get sick.
"As mind-boggling as it is, we don't know the answer to that," Anthony Fauci, leader of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at NIH, also told the Associated Press. "We made some assumptions that we knew everything about flu."
Volunteers will be infected with the H1N1 flu strain, the same strain responsible for the so-called 2009 pandemic and will be held at the research facility for nine days.

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.
It is estimated that 40 percent of all homes in the US have some type of firearm, of which one in four is a handgun. Access to firearms in the home increases the risk of unintentional firearm-related death and injury among children. Unintentional shootings cause 20 percent of all firearm-related deaths among children ages 14 and under.
An underestimation of the child's ability to gain access to a firearm in the home is a common problem. In addition, unlike adults, children are unable to distinguish between a real gun and toy guns, and children are not able to make good judgments about how to safely handle a gun.
To keep your child safe from firearms, consider whether it is worth the risk to your child to keep a firearm in your home. If you do choose to keep a firearm, safely store the firearm locked up and out of reach, and keep ammunition in a separate, locked place from the actual firearm. Also, by talking with your child about the dangers of firearms, you can teach your child to never touch or play with guns, and to tell an adult when he/she finds a gun.
Awareness of situations that can increase your child's risk of exposure to unintentional firearms injuries may help prevent them. High-risk situations include, but are not limited to, the following:
Although the only sure way to keep your child safe from unintentional firearm-related injury and death in your home is to remove all firearms from the home, there are other ways to improve the safety of your child around firearms, including the following:

This one does need any explanation really. The only question is why I didn't post it before. The site is filled with beautiful little details like illustrations, rollover effects and so on. Needless to say, the site really makes me want to attend the festival.

Needless to say, ultra hot Paravel has done it again. Lake Wapogasset is actually a family of four camps with the same spiritual mission. I think @trentwalton, @davatron5000 and @raygunray have done a very impressive job of joining these camps together without taking away their individuality. What's more, since I'm an atheist, I've set the bar extra high for religious websites to be posted here. No, not really. That was supposed to be a joke. Lake Wapogasset is a very beautiful site. Paravel has also written a post about the process.

This here is not my all time favorite website. Still, I think this site does one quite amazing thing that deserves your attention. The main navigation on the home page is made up of a a live webcam. What a great touch. This is art. Via @romaincolin.

Portuguese web designer Ricardo Mestre calls Duplos his "web thingie". I call it a masterpiece. It really is. The site is basically one big animated poster. It's super beautiful, quite unusual (for a website) and surprisingly intuitive to grasp. The animated details work really well.

I have seen countless services and custom made sites aiming to play the role of simple online business cards for its users. Very rarely do these stand out. I have also seen way too many creative sites that make use of splash screens, animations or other creative ways of annoying site visitors. Benjamin De Cock's site is both an online business card and makes use of a splash animation. Still, I find it so elegantly done that it actually works. Congrats to Benjamin for pulling this off without pissing me off.

Here's a goodie. A superbad single page portfolio site that is basically designed as an interactive poster. The typography and colors throughout, as well as the calls to action are all so well designed that you would be stupid not to be impressed. Check it out.

Another great Norwegian site design was just released. I find this design to be a great accomplishment, as they've managed to make it memorable while at the same time making the text very easily readable. They've also done some great content and design decisions that I think will provide them with a lot of new clients. Unfortunately, this site is in Norwegian only. Simple, beautiful and effective.

Zerply recently flew in Luke Beard from the British countryside to help them out with their new site design. They just launched the first results from their collaboration, and it's pure gold. My favorite parts of the new home page is the animated "User Login" button and the dynamic "Face Box" combined with a clear description and call to action. The use of Adelle via Typekit also works wonders.

After some digging around, I found out that Dustin Mierau is the mastermind in charge of Product Design at @path. Even though @instagram came out first and forced @path to launch early, @path has still managed to blow some minds with its unusual take on "social" combined with a drop dead gorgeous user experience. Every single pixel is lickable. That goes for the website as well as the iPhone app – including the app icon.

Danish designer Jesper Bentzen produces loads of jaw-dropping work across so many disciplines that you cannot visit his website without feeling a sense of awe. It's incredible how he manages to produce so much superb work and still wrap it in a delicious top of the line Flash wrapping. We can only guess how many hours Jesper spends in his office.

Dad's Venison Chili
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 1 hr 30 mins
This is my Dad's awesome chili recipe. He got a deer this year so I actually got to make it tonight with some ground venison he had given us. This one puts together quick, with just an onion and a pepper to dice, then waiting and enjoying that great smell. Deeeeee-licious!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄2 lbs ground venison
- 1 medium sweet onion, chopped
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper, chopped
- 32 ounces anasazi beans
- 28 ounces tomato puree
- 14 1⁄2 ounces diced tomatoes (chili style)
- 3 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 bay leaf, broken in half
- 1⁄4 teaspoon paprika
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne (or more, to taste)
- 4 tablespoons ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon cumin seed
- 1 dash cinnamon
- fresh ground pepper
- 1 1⁄2 cups water
- Brown the venison in a stock pot (I use non-stick).
- Add onion and pepper, saute until slightly soft, about 5-10 minutes.
- Add remaining ingredients, cover, and simmer for 1.5 hours.
- I serve mine with a little sour cream and diced onion on top, and some crusty bread.
- My husband insists this is sacrilege, and serves his with shredded cheese and crumbled crackers.
- We agree that it is best served with an ice cold beer.

Fantastic! I used a green pepper instead of the yellow due to cost and used beer in place of the water. It was perfect. Thank you. Made for Sept 2008 Cooking Challenge: Beyond Burgers. . .Ground Meat!
Absolutely AMAZING! Made this with small cubed venison, green pepper, Rotel diced Mexican tomatoes with lime juice, red kidney beans, and chicken broth. I omitted the cinnamon and cumin salt. Can't wait for leftovers! Will definitely make this again!
This was amazing. I did brown the venison in some olive oil as even with a nonstick pan it sticks. Also hard to saute onions and peppers dry, some oil was definitely needed. I could not find any anasazi beans so I used ready cooked canned red beans. I have a question, were the beans you used dried and soaked overnight? Canned beans would likely have disintigrated had they been cooked for 1.5 hours. I added my canned beans in for the last 30mins. Chili powders are different too depending on their source. I buy my chili powder from a local Indian store. It is VERY strong. 3 tablespoons of that would have made the chili inedible. I started with 0.5 tablespoon and tried it after half an hour of cooking. I ended up using 1 tablespoon in total. This was excellent chili.

Tuesday, in response to a Eugene city council proposal to expand downtown Farmer's Market, county commissioners, while not voting on the land-swap proposal, agreed to take a closer look at it. By doing so, they effectively tabled the motion pending further review.
Downtown politics reporter Ed Russo of The Register-Guard did a commendable job of reporting yet another political non-event in Eugene, Or.. Thank you Ed.
At the heart of the growing debate is Mayor Piercy of Eugene, bumping heads with conservative Councilman George Brown.
In this instance I agree with Brown who contends that any land exchange at this time is premature.
As Brown states," the entire block should be used to consolidate city offices." There's some true logic here when taking into account the annual lease expenditure earmarked for temporary city public works offices; public safety and housing for the mayor, council and city management.
What's the hurry? City Hall has been closed for less than a year. In Eugene that's just enough time for the moss to grow on a vintage Volvo's window and door molding.
While one can certainly argue for the expansion of the Lane County Farmer's Market, to the county's Butterfly parking lot, I'm wondering why the parking lot can't be utilized on Thursday and Saturday by the farmer's market? And then returned to its primary use as a parking lot the balance of the week.
I don't believe that every proposed activity impacting downtown Eugene should fall under the scrutiny of the city council or the Lane County commissioners. That's a planning and permitting issue. Let's let the farmer's market management wrangle with city and county planning.
While I agree with Mayor Piercy's words of wisdom, " I caution you not to make it more complicated than it has to be," I take her proposal a step further. Temporarily issue a county venue permit to L.C.F.M. for the expansion and use of the Butterfly parking lot.
Move forward with the demolition, planning and approval of the new City Hall and administration building.Then, look to the farmer's market proposal; logical progression without political debate.

Resurrecting the name of Belgium's first home-grown motorcycle company, Saroléa racing is gearing up for this year's TT Zero electric motorcycle race at the Isle of Man. And the bike is an absolute beauty: 180 horsepower, 200 kilograms, 400 Nm of torque (!). The Saroléa racing bike features carbon fiber just about everywhere, including the frame, subframe, swingarm and even cable guides – and it sports an old-school Norton factory racer kind of look with its vintage bikini fairing, tank and seat designs.Read More
MotoCzysz today won its fourth TT ZERO race in a row, demonstrating just how far the electric motorcycle has come in a short time. The first five runnings of the TT ZERO event at the 105 year-old Isle of Man motorcycle racing festival suggest electric bikes will catch up to the fastest gas-powered bikes in about five years. Every practice session has seen lap speeds increase. The inaugural 2009 electric lap record was run at the same speed as the circuit record in 1936 on the first Manx Norton. This week, electric motorcycles have surpassed the laps times of Hailwood's RC181 Honda 500, Duke's Gilera, Agostini's MV Agusta fire engines, and they're about to better the Kawasaki KR750, Suzuki RG500 and Yamaha TZ750 two-strokes of the mid-seventies. Four decades of progress in 48 months. Read onRead More
Italian electric race-bike outfit CRP Racing has announced its first road-going superbike, the Energica. With 100 kW of power and top of the line chassis and suspension, all clothed in modern Italian style bodywork, the Energica is capable of speeds up to 220 km/h (137 mph) and range of 150 km (93 miles) on a single charge, due in part to a power train efficiency close to 95 percent. The package includes such niceties as ride-by-wire throttle, a brace of radial-caliper Brembo disc brakes, Ohlins suspension, digital multifunction LCD dashboard and LED lights.Read More
The FIA, governing body of internal-combustion-engined motorsport, appears to have finally recognized the bleeding obvious (that electric vehicles will become mainstream) and is planning a high profile electric racing championship series beginning in 2013. The FIA Formula E Championship series has not been publicly framed as yet so it is not known if the series will be run at the same venues as the Formula One series but it can be expected to be held at a range of international venues and will logically serve as the first official championship for electric vehicles. Whether the series will have world championship status ...Read More
Electric motorsport pioneer Azhar Hussain has been awarded an MBE for his services to motorsport in the United Kingdom's Queen's Birthday 2011 Honours List. Hussain is the founder and CEO of eGrandPrix, the organization behind TTXGP, the world's first sanctioned clean emission motorcycle race. Launched just two years ago at the Isle of Man TT, TTXGP is now the leading electric racing series in the world.Read More
It seems electric racebikes are starting to come of age; Mission One has unveiled a new machine for its 2011 TTXGP campaign, and it takes a giant step forward in aesthetics from the blunt, overly futuristic look of the original Mission One. This is an electric racer with real class and presence, not to mention 160 mph performance and superbike-spec Swedish suspension bits. The Mission R is one of a new breed of electric superbikes with a custom-built frame, rather than gutting a petrol-powered sportsbike and stuffing it with battery cells. And it's proof positive that next-generation green performance machines will have every bit the loin-stirring ability of their fossil-fueled forebears.Read More
Chip Yates took a very American approach when he began building an electric superbike to race in the TTXGP and FIM ePower championships. He went for horsepower. One-hundred and ninety-six horsepower, to be precise, with a massive set of battery cells to keep the motor fed over a race distance. It was to be the most powerful bike on the grid. But both the TTXGP and the FIM released rule changes effectively disqualifying the SWIGZ bike from competition in 2011 - and rather than change the bike to fit the rules, Yates decided to pull out altogether - and take it racing against petrol-powered American superbikes in what is likely to be the first time electric and gasoline-powered motorcycles have gone head to head in an official race. But even with nearly 200 horsepower behind him, Yates has one heck of a tough job ahead of him.Read More
Three years ago, Brammo made headlines with one of the first consumer electric motorcycles to hit the U.S. market – the US$12,000 Enertia. Capable of 60 mph and a range of around 40 miles, the Enertia was a lightweight and fun commuter … but what a difference three years can make! Meet the Enertia's big brother, the Empulse 10.0 – a slick-looking, hard-hitting fully electric streetfighter with a sustainable top speed over 100mph and a range in excess of 100 miles on a single 2-hour charge. Available to order now, the Empulse more than doubles the Enertia's practicality, while adding a huge whack of fun to the equation. Pricing is a pleasant surprise – the top-spec model will go for US$13,995, but the final cost may be as little as US$7,000 in certain states once federal and state incentives are taken into account. We spoke to Craig Bramscher, Brammo's founder and CEO, about the Empulse, the dawn of electric motorcycle racing and the very exciting future of electric motorsport.Read More
American Michael Czysz has been building two-wheeled masterpieces for many years, though the cruel reality of racing has meant that the distinctly proletarian budgets he has had at his disposal have always been directly compared to the hundreds of millions spent by the likes of Honda, Yamaha, Ducati et al. Widely considered the "man most likely" for almost too long, his electric motorcycle took its first BIG win in the Isle of Man TT Zero race a few hours ago when it blitzed the competition, demonstrating 135 mph top speeds and went within a whisker of the GBP10,000 prize for the first 100 mph lap of the Island circuit. Most significantly, the MotoCzysz team demonstrated the massive performance leap electric bikes have taken over the last 12 months as the second IOM electric race, albeit under a different guise (original creators of electric racing, TTxGP now has several international series running) saw the average winning speed jump more than 10% from 87.434 mph to 96.820 mph.Read More
The era of electric motorcycle racing which began at the Isle of Man in June last year has grown into a world series road race for 2010. On May 16th, history was made as TTXGP North America Round 1 took place at the Infineon Raceway in California. It was the first-ever electric superbike race to take place in that continent.Read More

Stanford, Calif. ?- No. 14 Stanford (8-3, 3-0 Pac-10) had five players score in double-figures for an 86-58 win over Arizona (6-8, 0-2 Pac-10) on Thursday night in Maples Pavilion before a crowd of 3,230. The Wildcats start the Pac-10 season out with a 0-2 record for the first time since the 1992-93 season.
"This is a disappointing loss because we are not playing as well as we should," head coach Joan Bonvicini said. "When the other team scores on us, we need to take it personal, and when we make mistakes, we need to make sure they don't happen again."
Individually for
Stanford limited senior Joy Hollingsworth, Arizona's leading scorer, to a season-low two points on 0-of-8 shooting from the field.
Arizona opened the game with a jumper by freshman Rhaya Neabors to take a 2-0 lead, but Stanford raced out to a 13-4 advantage at the 13:57 mark, as the Wildcats started off shooting 2-of-12 from the field.

For the past 20 years, La Marmite has been one of our favorite fine dining choices. This iconic restaurant located in Williston Park, long island, is regarded as a defining landmark on the North Shore of Long Island. Although there are some excellent french and northern italian restaurants on long island, La Marmite has maintained its pre-eminent position as one of the very best, based on its fine reputation, elegance, fine cuisine and superb service.
Recently, the Kearns family, one of la marmite's long time customers purchased the restaurant and Greg Kearns became the new executive chef. Greg's mission is to maintain and elevate an already legendary culinary gem with his own exciting variations and new selections. We were recently invited by Greg to sample his new La Marmite's menu,specials, and house made desserts.
We arrived at the fabled,100 year old Victorian mansion on a weekday night in July, and were pleased to see that La Marmite, both outdoors and inside, was essentially the same. The restaurant recalls the early days of a golden era when fine dining was a special experience. The drapery and wall decor hinted at the fabulous years of fine dining La Marmite had served over the past 40 years.
The main dining room is divided into 3 separate seating area served by a meticulously dressed wait staff and Maitre D. We were quickly seated and served a basket of thickly sliced and toasted peasant bread with raisin walnut rolls. The bread was delicious and a good omen for an extraordinary dining experience.
We began our meal with an assortment of fabulous appetizers:
Beet and Frisee salad with smoked salmon, soft cooked egg, potato, and mustard vinaigrette.
and a Baby Romaine Salad with creamy basil dressing, tomato confit, torn croutons, and parmesan cheese.
followed by an outrageously delicious plate with a large seared diver scallop, made with a sweet corn risotto, bacon, chive, and a miso
vinaigrette dressing. We also shared a a large shrimp cocktail with a tangy cocktail sauce
There was a brief pleasant intermezzo for conversation and to enjoy a delightful fruit libation.
We were now ready for two spectacular entrees: Herb crusted rack of lamb-pommes boulangerie, spinach and red wine sauce. The lamb was prepared medium rare and was a visual and taste delight.
A 2 lb broiled lobster- partially shelled and filled with delectable and succulent lobster meat in a bowl with peas and chorizo- One of the best lobsters we have had this season. The young lobster was gently lifted from the shell and served with liquified butter for dipping. Tender white and pink lobster meat proved to be a true neptunian delight. .
We could not resist sampling the house made fine pastries and desserts the kitchen offered. We tried a plate of Peach and Blueberry crumble- served with almond streusel and vanilla ice cream.
A slice of Key Lime Pie- A perfect rendition of this internationally famous dessert, made with a graham cracker crust and house made whipped cream.
We finished our meal and left the restaurant, thoroughly satiated and content knowing that the legendary La Marmite is continuing its tradition of serving some of Long Island's finest haute cuisine.
Highly recommended, Kudos to Chef Greg Kearns and the wait staff for making our evening a culinary delight.
The atmosphere, fine food, and beautiful music in the background made for a romantic and very pleasant evening. La Marmite remains one of Long Island's finest gourmet restaurants.
