IDB clinches Standard & Poor's top ratings
January 6, 2010
The Jeddah-based Islamic Development Bank (IDB) announced yesterday that Standard & Poor's, one of the leading financial ratings agencies in the world, has reaffirmed a "stable" outlook for the Bank, granting it "AAA" long-term and "A-1+" short-term issuer ratings. Standard & Poor's stated that the IDB's ratings are supported by very strong capitalization and liquidity, a good asset portfolio and preferred-creditor treatment and other shareholders' support.
The IDB is an international financial institution established in 1975 with the purpose of fostering economic development and social progress in Muslim communities, in accordance with the principles of Shari'ah (Islamic law). It is one of the few multilateral financial development institutions rated by the three leading international rating agencies – Standard & Poor's, Fitch and Moody's – with the highest possible rating. Moreover, the IDB was recognized as eligible for the "Zero Risk-Weight" categorization by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in 2004 and the European Union in May 2007.

Spring is the time for graduation and when the current group of MFA candidates show their work.
For their 44th Annual Master of Fine Arts Graduate Exhibition, the Berkeley Art Museum and Film Archive has an interesting crop of graduating students. Each one is investigating new and exciting artistic venues and many have already had important exhibitions.
Helena Keeffe is the recipient of a Creative Work Fund grant and a site-specific artist. Joey Enos, Berkeley born and raised, creates Rube Goldberg like sculptures with materials such as foam, enamel, polyurethane, wood and caps them with humorous titles. Jason Fritz is an multi-media, "interdisciplinary artist whose work shuttles between performance, installation, and disaster; heavily in conversation with the histories of the queer future and representation through documentation." Vreni Michelini Castillo is a musician, a teacher, a painter and a creator of instillations.
Jessica Hankey's ongoing project "Women's Club" engages a hundred-year-old women's organization in Los Angeles, CA as a site of production for varied activities that include public events, photography, and video. Founded in 1904, this club flourished in its early days as an instrument to expand women's role in civil society but is today searching for its purpose. Hankey has been a member since 2009 and served on its board of directors in multiple capacities. Elizabeth Keegan is a game artist investigating the power of games. Her work, that is her art practice, investigates those human relationships which manifest around gaming. It is in the act of play that we become performers; adopting cultural references in our construction of new meaning.
The San Francisco Art Institute's graduation celebrations for BFA, BA, MFA, MA, and Dual Degree MA/MFA artists will be held on their historic Chestnut Street campus. The reception will be on May 15th from 5 to 7 p.m. There will be a second reception featuring performances, film and video screening on Saturday, May 17.
Other news of the day involved our local Academy of Art and it's numerous code violations. According to this article from the SF Examiner, the city may finally be cracking down on them. While the school is at fault in many ways, one can hope this does not impact their students' graduation ceremonies.

A Lancaster elementary school was put on lockdown earlier today after shots were fired on the school property. There were no injuries and the investigation is ongoing tonight as the Lancaster City Police (LCPD) are still looking for the two male shooters.
It was near the end of the school day today (Wednesday, 15 January) at approximately 2:48 p.m. when Lancaster City Police received an anonymous call that shots were fired in the area of Martin Luther King Elementary School, 455 South Duke Street. The caller, according to LCPD, said two black males were in the playground and one fired a shot from a handgun.
The school went on immediate lockdown while police canvassed the area. Police did find a single spent casing in the playground. The two men were seen heading east on Green Street. The only description was that one male was wearing a red sweatshirt and the other was wearing a black sweatshirt.
The lockdown was lifted once there was no longer an immediate danger to students and the staff. Parents then picked up their children at the school.
Readers with information are asked to call the Police at 717-735-3300. The Lancaster City-County Crime Stoppers can also be called at 800-322-1913. Tips can also be left on the LCPD website by clicking on the Submit a Tip button at www.lancasterpolice.com.

25 Dazzling Examples of Lightning Strikes
For photographers, Lightning or Lightning Strikes are beautiful creation from Mother Nature. Lightning is an atmospheric discharge of electricity accompanied by thunder, which typically occurs during thunderstorms, and sometimes during volcanic eruptions or dust storms. In the atmospheric electrical discharge, a leader of a bolt of lightning can travel at speeds of 220,000 km/h (140,000 mph), and can reach temperatures approaching 30,000 °C (54,000 °F), hot enough to fuse silica sand into glass channels known as fulgurites which are

How much do you really know about your insurance coverage? American Coin-Op has invited Jodie Millino of Wells Fargo Insurance Services and Ann Hawkins, vice president of NIE Insurance, to answer some questions.Q: What coverages do operators pass on that they shouldn't?Millino: Owners continually try to say that attendants are independent contractors and that workers' compensation is not needed. We stress that just because a CPA considers employees outside contract help, at the time of injury, that might not be the case. Workers' compensation should be a must for every store with an attendant or fluff-and-fold, even if they report no payroll and an audit determines same. This is a precautionary measure that should be discussed with your agent.Hawkins: The most important thing that operators pass on is replacement-cost coverage. Often, to save premium dollars, the insured will opt to buy an Actual Cash Value policy, which means that any loss will be depreciated according to the age of the item(s) claimed. In a total loss, there would not be enough coverage to rebuild, and the insured would be out-of-pocket for everything over the depreciated cost. Replacement cost is a limit high enough to replace and rebuild with like kind and quality with no depreciation for age.Q: Are there are myths/fallacies about laundry insurance?Hawkins: One myth about all insurance is that credit is always given for alarm systems and surveillance cameras. TV ads often make this claim. The problem is that alarms are often not turned on when the store is closed. They are either forgotten, or they go off too often, so the owner stops setting them. Surveillance cameras are nice, but they don't help the insurance company see a slip-and-fall if the tapes are recorded over time and time again. Often a lawsuit is filed up to two years after an incident occurs, and the owner may never have been aware of it. By then the tape is gone and doesn't help the insurance company with settling claims.Q: Does any confusion ever arise about who is responsible for the insurance: the landlord or the tenant?Millino: When you have a sole-occupancy building (stand-alone), many owners require the tenant to insure the building and name the owner as the named insured. This differs from a laundry in a retail center where the store owner is one of the many occupants, and it would not make sense to have each tenant carry his/her respective share of a building insurance value. Carefully review the lease with your attorney and make certain you do not pick up this risk and fail to insure it. This is especially true with single-occupancy buildings. This is sometimes referred to as a "Triple Net Lease" (usually referring to the tenant paying for and carrying insurance, taxes and all expenses).Hawkins: Sometimes there is confusion on the part of the tenant regarding his lease requirements. A lease may require the tenant to buy building insurance. In this case, the named insured can include the actual building owner and the business owner, and both the building and the business will be insured on one policy. This is not common, however, if the tenant is located in a shopping center. It would not be efficient for each part in the center to cover the building, so the landlord will include the cost of building insurance in each party's rent. Please read your lease thoroughly and, if you have questions, contact your attorney or your agent.Q: How often should an owner evaluate his/her coverage?Hawkins: Owners should evaluate their coverage needs when first purchasing a policy, and then three months prior to each annual renewal. If new equipment is purchased or a new operation is started, your needs may change and you should not wait until renewal to call your agent. And don't forget to contact your agent if you close or sell a location. Many customers completely forget to let the insurance company know, and they may be entitled to a credit when the location is deleted. Also, let the agent know about any new locations immediately.Millino: We would recommend that owners review their personal property values and income exposure to loss annually. Check with your distributor to see what it would cost to totally replace your store, including improvements, equipment, vending, etc. Then discuss your income loss with the CPA, reminding him or her that it is based on standard accounting principles, and is also based on "net income plus continuing (ongoing) expenses" normally.Q: Are multiple-store discounts available?Millino: This is possible based on the rating methodology of the carriers. Also, when you have multiple stores, we sometimes blanket coverage, increase deductibles, and with larger accounts, write a "loss-limit" form.Hawkins: Multiple stores do not usually create an automatic discount. However, if you have multiple stores, you may save some premium dollars if you put them on one policy as opposed to writing each one on a separate policy.Q: Are more owners shopping for coverage?Hawkins: Most main-street businesses, including laundries, shop for coverage at renewal because they are contacted by so many insurance agents. This seems to be the case regardless of the economy. But once an owner finds the company that can give him what he needs at a fair and competitive price, and he has trust in the company's reputation, representatives and service, he is likely to stay with that company for many years.Millino: This is not really the case with us. People are more interested in trying to better control their costs by discussing available options to reduce their expenses. We have several items we use that are proprietary in nature. We do not recommend reducing limits to save pennies. We approach things on a bigger scale, which makes sense, but does not materially affect limits.Q: What insurance advice can you offer?Millino: Buy the coverage from a solid agency that specializes in the class. Many agents today will say they insure coin laundries, yet might only have one or two on the books, and do not understand the difference between a front loader and top loader. Select someone who deals daily with the lenders in the field. In these times, it might be prudent to deal with an agency/broker that can also lead you to the new lending available to coin laundries (Small Business Administration (SBA) programs, etc.). We have a dedicated team of SBA and small-business finance experts who can assist and discuss those processes on a referral basis.Hawkins: My advice to coin laundry owners is:
- Do what you can to reduce risk.
- Do walk-around inspections, both inside and outside on a regular basis.
- Clean lint on a daily basis.
- Put emergency phone numbers in a prominent place.
- Do a yearly review with your insurance agent on coverage needs.
- Remember to include all costs in choosing your insurance limit.
- Promptly report all claims and incidents that could result in a claim promptly.

Last week we got to speak with Simon Tian who showed us some mockups of a new product that's meant to be the next generation of his Neptune Pine Android-powered smartwatch. This isn't based on the Android Wear platform, by the way. We're talking about full Android in a wrist watch. Simon is only about 20 years old and has already seen some success with his Neptune Pine. (Just for some perspective, he was about 5 years old when Pocketnow was launched in the year 2000.) Now he's working on his next project. The Neptune Duo still has a wrist-mounted smartwatch that runs full Android, but now ...

With mass-market devices like Pebble and Samsung's Galaxy Gear on store shelves (and apparently selling better than we were being informed), the era of the smartwatch has arrived. Sure, most eyes are on Apple to see what it can pull off with the hardware we've been calling the iWatch, but just because the big kids are getting in on the action doesn't mean we're about to see a stop to new players looking to get involved. All the way back in February you might remember us telling you about the Neptune Pine, an ambitious smartwatch that attempted to ditch the need to tether and integrate its ...

Character Studio 4
By Doug King
Character Studio is a popular character animation package from Discreet, maker of 3ds max modeling and animation software. The latest iteration, Character Studio Version 4, comes with powerful enhancements including Quaternion function curves.
Users familiar with Character Studio will notice that the biped figure in Version 4 has a new look. The block-headed stick boy is gone; now the biped looks like a skeleton with a smooth, rounded head and appendages. Of course, traditionalists can select the old biped if they prefer.
There have been a few additions and improvements within the biped skeleton as well. You have a choice between two pelvis configurations, which can help with skinning. More important is the addition of forearm segmentations for more accurate arm rotation and skinning.
These helpful improvements can be considered mostly cosmetic, however, in relation to the most important enhancements in Version 4—Quaternion function curves and the Motion Mixer.
The Quaternion function curves work internally within the Workbench, essentially a motion analysis and visualization track bar. Within the Workbench you can view higher-order motion properties such as acceleration and speed and jerk, as well as the function curves for animation layers, and sub-frame animation data.
The new Motion Mixer feature in Character Studio Version 4 enables animators to blend motion-capture and keyframe animation.
By using Quaternion function curves you are no longer limited by the Gimbal lock, and you can work more freely with intuitive and accurate function curves. All rotations are order-independent, while interpolation is "geodesic" and free of extraneous swing motion artifacts.
Setting up animation within the Workbench is simple. You can cut and paste animation from one bone to another and add a number of controllers to your character animations. This takes advantage of the powerful controller subsystems within max, which were unavailable to Character Studio in previous versions.
The Motion Mixer allows users to load several pre-made .bip animation clips into a track view, then create smooth transitions between them. Within the mixer you can group tracks to special body parts, which allows you to assign separate .bip clips to the head, spine, arms, and legs. This gives animators amazing detail control over their animation. Motion Mixer's true benefit is that it makes the most of existing motion libraries and gives you the ability to blend motion-capture and keyframe animation.
It is important to remember that the animation created within the Motion Mixer will be only as good as the animation you put into it. Some .bip files work better than others, and one tip in preparing clips for transition in the Motion Mixer is to make sure there is some degree of motion throughout the entire clip, rather than defined starts and stops. The Motion Mixer will be a great time saver to users animating extensive scenes—as long as they have a good supply of key-framed .bip clips.
While you can cut and paste animation clips between the track groups, the Paste Tracks Opposite function produces accurate results only when used on arms, not on legs. Also, Clear Tracks does not work on leg tracks with footstep animation. Neither of these are major concerns, but they can be minor annoyances.
Other noteworthy features are biped props and head targets. Biped props are parametric objects included as part of the biped skeleton that can be saved with the biped in the same file. This includes any motion-capture data that accompanies the prop. While there are three prop objects included, biped supports only two motion-capture props when importing motion-capture data.
The new Head Target object works much the same as a Dummy helper and gives the head a weighted target to look at during an animation. This means the biped can be told to seek out an object over the course of an animation and even look away from it. This simple feature can free you from keyframing where your character is supposed to be looking so you can focus more on the acting.
Overall, Character Studio Version 4 is a powerful character animation tool with new features that will give animators greater control over the animation process. The program has once again advanced itself in the industry.

The semiconductor industry's growth and roadmap has historically depended on a reduction in cost per transistor with each new generation of chip technology, as it shrinks to smaller dimensions, but next-generation chips offer less of these cost benefits. Thus, this is one of the major challenges facing the industry over the next decade. This cost problem is derived from difficulties obtaining high parametric yields for devices fabricated on silicon wafers at the new device node sizes.
Many companies across the semiconductor industry are developing 20nm bulk high-K metal gate (HKMG) CMOS as well as 16 to 14nm FinFET logic-based transistors, which have a higher cost per gate than 28nm bulk HKMG CMOS (which is technology I was involved in at ASMI for Intel). However, the node size shrinkage does offer reduced power consumption, which is critical for mobile and/or wearable devices that put a strain on limited battery capacity.
The 20nm node faces difficulty achieving low leakage due to challenges in controlling doping uniformity, line edge device pattern roughness, and other key physical parameters that are very sensitive to minor variations in manufacturing processes. The need for double patterning at 20nm (which is a process flow I helped facilitate and patent at Micron) also adds cost per wafer over 28nm, since it adds a significant number of process steps for manufacturing semiconductor chips compared to past generations of technology, when photolithography capability enabled direct patterning of intended node sizes.
The 16/14nm FinFET node for high-performance computing functionality, uses the same back-end interconnect structure as 20nm, so the chip area is only about nine percent smaller than 20nm node sizes. What's more, this node has yield complications related to stress-related defects, device pattern layer overlay, and factors related to the high aspect ratio step coverage and process uniformity of 3D structures for aggressive device geometries, requiring the need of atomic layer deposition and etch processes even more. The cost problems are expected to continue as 28nm bulk CMOS technology evolves, while wafer depreciation costs will fall about 60 percent from the ramp-up towards high-volume production.
Therefore, the cost per gate for 28nm bulk HKMG CMOS will be much lower than FinFETs even in the fourth quarter of 2017. However, the emergence of larger 450mm silicon wafers at that time will offer cost-savings benefits through economies of scale. FinFETs are primarily used for high-performance computing applications like processors or low-power designs at smaller node sizes but are not cost-effective in semiconductor chips for lower performance applications.
The semiconductor roadmap includes the scaling to 10nm and 7nm device node sizes, and the jury is still out on which approach will win-out for bringing that technology to fruition including: extreme ultraviolet photolithography (EUV), quadruple patterning, fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) layers, carbon nanotubes, and graphene transistors, among others. Worldwide sales of semiconductor manufacturing equipment totaled $31.6 billion in 2013, representing a year-over-year decrease of 14 percent, according to the SEMI industry trade organization, but a nearly equivalent gain on a percentage basis is expected in 2014 to meet future fab technology needs.
The cost of R&D and production for these advanced, lower power consumption chips geared towards mobile devices will likely lead to more consolidation across the industry including the transition towards top foundries such as TSMC, which is already booked through the third quarter of this year. Advanced chips will inevitably be expanded beyond more conventional mobile devices into emerging wearable devices such as Apple's iWatch to be released this year in order to compete with the Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch as well as the recently released Google Glass.

DULUTH, Ga - For the third year in a row, an Alabama gymnast has earned the NCAA's Elite 89 Award, and for the second year in a row, that gymnast was All-American Rachel Terry, who carries a perfect 4.0 GPA for her career
The senior from Hoover, Ala., was presented with the award, which goes to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average participating at the final site for each of the NCAA's 89 championships, during Thursday's NCAA Championship Banquet.
"I'm so proud of Rachel," UA head coach Sarah Patterson said. "A vault All-American as a freshman, she has had some physical difficulties throughout her career, but I feel like as she was going through those challenges, she maintained her focus in the gym and the classroom and for her to be able to close out her career by winning this award for the second time is very special."
Terry follows in the footsteps of Kassi Price, who earned the inaugural award as a senior in 2010 with a 4.0 GPA of her own.
"I think it is a testament to the ideals that are most important to this program that one of our ladies has earned the Elite 89 Award in each of its first three years in existence," Patterson said. "It speaks volumes about the level of excellence that our ladies aspire to on a daily basis."
A three-year Scholastic All-American, Terry is majoring in early childhood education. She has been inducted into Alpha Lambda Delta, Kappa Delta Epsilon and Phi Eta Sigma honor societies and earned the College of Human Environmental Science's Phi Upsilon Omicron Award.
"When Rachel came to the University, because she was homeschooled, it took a long time for her to get certified by the NCAA," Patterson said. "It probably took longer than anyone else we've ever had. To see her not only win this award, but to win it twice, shows how great home schooling can be."
Terry's trophy is the fifth Elite 89 honor garnered by Alabama over the last three years. Terry and Price are joined by golfer Brooke Pancake who took home the trophy in the spring of 2010 and cross country runner Nathan Corder who earned the honor in the fall of 2010.
Eligible student-athletes are sophomores or above who have participated in their sport for at least two years with their school. They must be an active member of the team, traveling and a designated member of the squad size at the championship. All ties are broken by the number of credits completed.
Senior Geralen Stack-Eatonwas also honored during banquet as one of six finalists for the AAI Senior Award. The defending NCAA Floor Exercise Champion, Stack-Eaton is a Scholastic All-American, an eight-time All-American and the 2012 NCAA Central Region Gymnast of the Year.
Terry, Stack-Eaton and their teammates start competition at the NCAA Championships on Friday at 6 p.m. EDT in the Arena at Gwinnett Center in Duluth, Ga.

BOULDER – Given her team's penchant for forced and unforced errors in its two previous WNIT wins, Linda Lappe's early scouting report on Texas-El Paso yielded what could be a chilling (or at the very least disturbing) conclusion.
"They play really hard . . . they want to cause chaos on the floor at times," Lappe said. "And they like to get out and run. They're all about up-tempo and trying to create turnovers and trying to get their offense going through their defense.
That might be as much as you need to know about the third-round WNIT matchup between Lappe's Colorado women's basketball team and UTEP. If the Buffs can avoid a breakdown due to turnovers – becoming El Loco in El Paso – and contain Miners' forward Kayla Thornton, their chances of playing through March rise considerably.
In WNIT wins against Arkansas State (74-64) and Saint Mary's (76-64), the Miners took advantage of 17 and 16 turnovers, respectively, by their opponents. On the flip side, in its first two WNIT wins against TCU (78-71) and Southern Utah (79-68), CU committed 23 and 24 turnovers, respectively.
And that pair of W's was earned in the Coors Events Center, which undoubtedly was far more hospitable than UTEP's Don Haskins Center figures to be on Friday night (7 p.m. MDT).
Understandably, Lappe is troubled by the turnovers. The Buffs (19-14) averaged 16.3 a game during the regular season, so their 23.5 average in two WNIT games represents a significant increase at a time in the season when miscues and general sloppiness should be trending downward.
Lappe liked her team's energy and intensity in both postseason wins, but adds, "The thing I didn't like was that we had way too many turnovers . . . against UTEP that would really kill us; they convert those into points going the other direction."
Some of the Buffs' turnovers in the CEC resulted from an occasional inability to handle full-court pressure. Guess what? They're counting on seeing it early from the Miners and, said forward Arielle Roberson, "I can imagine if we don't break it right away they'll stay with it. You just have to take care of business."
"We have to handle the full-court pressure," Lappe added. "We didn't see a lot of presses during Pac-12 play. But we had some experience at that the last couple of games; both teams pressed us. That part was good, because I think we got better in the Southern Utah game from the TCU game. I have no doubt we're going to get better in the UTEP game."
In Thornton, a 6-1 senior who played at El Paso's Irvin High School, Lappe said the Miners (26-7, 12-4 Conference USA) have a forward who could have been a standout on any Pac-12 team: "Thornton is a really good player; she's a Pac-12 player and maybe as good as any forward as we have in our league."
A three-time All-C-USA selection (second team the past two seasons, first this season), Thornton averaged 20.1 points and 10.2 rebounds in her final season. She will finish her UTEP career as the school record-holder in double-doubles and made field goals, and she currently ranks second in points.
Poll the Buffs on the similarities of the Miners and any Pac-12 teams and the results vary greatly. "They're just . . . different," Lappe said. "Their guards are similar maybe to Arizona State's; they've got a good shooter and a couple of kids who can really rebound."
Roberson answered "not really" when asked if UTEP reminded her of any of CU's Pac-12 opponents. "But they're very scrappy – a bunch of hustle players. They can score (they average 77.8 ppg), they're good in transition and they look to steal (9.8 a game)."
Rachel Hargis' answer to the same question: "Maybe USC; they've got a good balance of guards and post players . . . they're a pretty tough team."
Roberson (15 points, 11 rebounds) and Hargis (12 points) were instrumental in CU advancing past Southern Utah. They contributed six of the Buffs' school-record 14 blocked shots – Roberson had five – against the Thunderbirds, and a repeat of that defensive effort would no doubt be beneficial on Friday night.
"I like a lot of the things we've done in the last two games," Lappe said. But Wednesday's practice wasn't representative of the Buffs' game-night energy against TCU and Southern Utah.
Roberson conceded the Buffs' mood was consistent with "how it's been all season . . . some days we're here, some days we're not. I think we all know we have to be consistent, be sharp in everything we do. But as far as the page we're all on, I think we definitely want to win."
Lappe has no doubt about that, yet more than once this season she's been puzzled about her team's eagerness to practice in a way that brings daily and weekly improvement. Though it's not the postseason tournament they had targeted, the Buffs are among a dwindling number of teams still playing as the calendar changes.
Do they grasp the magnitude?
"I hope so," Lappe said. If she needed a reality update she got it earlier this week when she put together a practice itinerary for March 26. "Anytime you're still playing at the end of March . . . what a cool thing that is to have the opportunity to keep playing games, to keep getting better as a team and extend your season.
"It's really valuable to be able to spend hours and hours a week instead of just two hours a week like we'd be doing in (the off-season), helping our players get better with their skills and helping the team get better as a whole."
The opportunity to keep the season alive isn't lost on Hargis, and it shouldn't be. She and the Wilson sisters – Brittany and Ashley – are the Buffs' only seniors. Friday brings one more game, but there are no guarantees of another.
Said Hargis: "I'm really excited that we're continuing to play. It's always fun to prolong the season as long as you can."

When developing a global strategy, don't underestimate the importance of knowing your customer and the culture of your target market. Apart from understanding the general differences, behavior drivers and trends, it is imperative to the success and growth of your company to adapt and be flexible with your approach. Creating a global business by establishing local roots will attract, engage, satisfy and help retain customers essential to your rapid and continuous growth. The following key steps are essential for a successful global strategy implementation:
Act local—For a company to become a truly global enterprise, it has to localize the way it thinks and acts.
Localize—A "one size fits all" strategy may make assumptions that miss the opportunity to engage and identify customers needs.
Observe—By observation, you can explore the habits, beliefs, behaviors and values of your target customers that can enhance the local customer experience with a newfound multicultural awareness.
Start building your global market penetration strategy by asking all the rights questions:
- Do you have managers with local knowledge and language skills who can negotiate and prevent cultural misunderstandings?
- How can you demonstrate a respect for local outlooks, priorities and traditions?
- Can you adapt your offering to make them suitable for local needs?
- Can you customize your global message for local meaning, markets and cultures?
- Are there local linguistic or ethnic preferences and tastes?
- What behaviors drive local customer buying habits?

Dropbox doubles capacity for Pro users to compete with Google Drive
Competition sparks a capacity war
ONLINE STORAGE VENDOR Dropbox has doubled the capacity of storage Dropbox Pro account holders while introducing a service that offers 500GB of storage.
Dropbox has faced increased competition in recent months from Google and Microsoft with their respective Drive and Skydrive services. However the firm has tried to keep hold of its existing Dropbox Pro customers by doubling their space and introducing a 500GB service.
Dropbox's announcement means that those users who were previously signed up to its 50GB service will get 100GB, while those who previously had 100GB will be bumped up to 200GB. The firm has yet to reveal how much its 500GB service will cost, but given that Google offers 400GB for $20 a month, Dropbox will have to be close to that figure in order to compete.
Since Google launched its Drive service Dropbox's pricing has seemed out of touch, and while the firm will have lost some customers, this move could help it stay relevant for a bit longer. However given that Dropbox relies on Amazon's S3 storage cloud, its prices can only go so low, whereas firms such as Google and Microsoft run their own clouds, allowing them to benefit from economies of scale.
Dropbox, like all internet service providers, will be hoping that the majority of its users fail to make a significant dent in the space it has given away. Quite why users want to store hundreds of gigabytes of personal data on a public cloud is another question.
Dropbox said those users eligible for an upgrade will have it automatically applied. µ

The room is very centrally located, just a 2 minute walk to Liverpool Street Station. From here you can accomplish almost anything in London. Also to London Bridge is only about a 15 minute walk.
The staff was very nice and very well maintained the room. Anyone who has to share a bathroom with several people no problem and make the loud air conditioners also nothing will be happy here. The price is more than fair!
When I plan my next trip to London, I will certainly look here first for the accommodation!
Das Zimmer ist sehr zentral gelegen und nur 2 Minuten zu Fuß zur Liverpool Street Station entfernt. Von hier kann man fast alles in London erreichen. Auch zur London Bridge sind es nur ca. 15 Minuten zu Fuß.
Das Personal war sehr nett und das Zimmer sehr gepflegt. Wer kein Problem hat sich ein Bad mit mehreren Personen zu teilen und dem auch laute Klimaanlagen nix ausmachen wird hier glücklich werden. Der Preis ist auch mehr als Fair!
Wenn ich meinen nächsten Trip nach London plane werde ich sicherlich als erstes hier für die Unterkunft nachschauen!
Very nice stay. Central location. Excellent host.
Marcos is a great host. The room was really clean, central and calm. You find there everything you need. I reccomend this room to everyone who wants to pass a wonderful weekend in central London.
Great location, close to public transport: metro, bus, but also many restaurants and shops.
The room is comfortable, clean, however the flush toilet does not work well.
Très bien situé, à proximité des transports en commun : métro, bus mais également de nombreux restaurants et commerces.
La chambre est confortable, propre en revanche la chasse d'eau des WC ne fonctionne pas bien.
This was the second time we've stayed in this appartment. In summary: central location, directly opposite of liverpool street station, with perfect access to several metro lines. Room: clean, spacious, table model refrigerator (clean and working), large mirror, TV. Bed: spacious, comfortable, clean. Bathroom: shared, can give a delay on your program if occupied, just a shower (in need of replacement) and sink. Toilet (separate from bathroom): clean.
Due to the stormy weather our flight was delayed, reception (next door) has personel 24/7, so no problems checking in.
Good location for city trip and a very friendly landlord
Gute Lage für den Städtetrip und ein sehr freundlicher Vermieter
Clean & comfortable. Central location. Excellent host.
The host (Mark) only know his name and what we read in your profile Wimdu because once there we realized it was a hostel reception (very nice, by the way).
As for accommodation, its location is very good. Not known for their hygiene, the portal matches the service door of a restaurant. The bathroom and kitchen may share more with 4 bedrooms, so maybe someday no queue to enter.
Finally, the room measures 10 m2 no advertising, but about 7 m2.
Not bad, but the characteristics we found expensive.
Del anfitrión (Marcos) sólo conocemos su nombre y lo que hemos podido leer en su perfil de wimdu, ya que al llegar allí nos dimos cuenta de que se trataba de un hostal con recepción (muy amables, por cierto).
En cuanto al alojamiento, su situación es muy buena. No destaca por su higiene, el portal coincide con la puerta de servicio de un restaurante. El baño y cocina se pueden llegar a compartir con 4 habitaciones más, así que igual algún día hay cola para entrar.
Por último, la habitación no mide los 10 m2 que anuncia, sino unos 7 m2.
No está mal, pero por sus características nos pareció caro.
The apartment is in a great location, all means of transportation are nearby.
The apartment is clean, there is everything that one needs. the room is very small for two people, however, great for short stays
L'appartamento è in un'ottima posizione, tutti i mezzi di trasporto sono vicini.
L'appartamento è pulito, c'è tutto ciò di cui uno ha bisogno. la camera è decisamente piccola per due persone, comunque ottima per brevi soggiorni
The location of the apartment was perfect for tourist comming by train, so that turned out to be great. The room was fine and the price o.k. It was also possible to access the lobby 24/7, which was great.
There were two small disadvantages: the shower was dirty and the apartment was pretty smelly, if these issues would not be there it would definitely a 5 star (for this price).
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

Oct. 31 TigerCast: Peter Farrell, Jason Vigilante and Quinn Epperly
Three teams either vying for Ivy League championships or to remain atop the league standings will be featured on the Halloween edition of TigerCast.
Peter Farrell and Jason Vigilante are the head coaches of the Princeton women's and men's cross country teams, respectively, and both are leading their teams into the 2013 Ivy League Heptagonal Championships this weekend. Both squads are nationally ranked, though both will be facing at least one team ranked higher in the national polls.
The men, who are the reigning Ivy League champions, will compete first on Princeton's own West Windsor Fields at 11 am, while the Princeton women will go for an Ivy League title at noon. Both head coaches reflect on the season so far and their hopes and expectations for the weekend during their interviews.
After both cross country titles are decided, all eyes will move to Powers Field at Princeton Stadium, where the first-place football team will take on the all-time Ivy League passing leader when the Tigers host Cornell at 1 pm on ESPN3. While Cornell's Jeff Mathews has been a thorn in the Tigers' side for the last three years, Princeton junior quarterback Quinn Epperly has given defenses fits all season. The reigning National Offensive Player of the Week talks about the thrilling 51-48 triple-overtime win at Harvard, as well as Saturday's home showdown with Cornell.
TigerCast can be accessed through the "Podcasts" tab on the right side of the main page, or by going to the main TigerCast page here.
TigerCast, presented by PNC Bank, is the official podcast of Princeton Athletics. Previous episodes of TigerCast can be downloaded for free anytime at GoPrincetonTigers.com.

Aperture Library will not Import

Aperture Library will not Import
I do most of my photo imports to Aperture (3.4.3) running on my laptop. (10.7.5) The photos are imported into Projects named after the year and month. Backups of the originals are copied onto a portable external hard drive. At the end of the month, I export the latest Project as a stand alone Library to the portable hard drive and then Import this Library to my desk top computer also running Ap 3.4.3 and 10.7.5.
Just recently, when I do this, Aperture claims it is importing the Library and syncronizing them, but once the process is completed, the new photos and project have not been imported.
Does anyone have any idea why this is occuring and/or how I can correct this problem? This used to work flawlessly.
Thanks in advance!

After selling over 1 billion beverages, Honest Tea, organic tea business, is still thriving to make its mark in the industry.
The Bethesda, MD- based company was founded in 1998 by Seth Goldman. Honest Tea is recognized for its bottled teas and juices which contain fewer calories, use of organic sugar cane instead of artificial sweeteners, along with other ingredients gathered from countries overseas like India and China.
This past May, Honest Tea sold 1 billion drinks. Goldman attributes the majority of its success to Coca-cola (Coke). In 2008, Goldman sold 40 percent of its shares to Coke for $43 million. The partnership was established to help Honest Tea reach main stream distributors such as large supermarkets and convenience stores. Coke would also assist the company with maximizing its ability to acquire more consumers on a national level.
A few years later in 2011, Coke purchased an additional 55 percent of Goldman's stock. This alliance would enable the company to expand even further and gain access to a wider population than it had done during its initial agreement.
Last year Honest Tea reported earnings of $112 million in sales. This year, the business is expected to gross over $130 million.
Honest Tea has become one of the most popular beverages in demand especially within the Washington, DC metropolitan area. It has even made its way to the White House. As noted in The New York Times, Honest Tea is now a preferred beverage by President Barack Obama. He enjoys flavors such as "Black Forest Berry" and "Green Dragon."
Yet, after achieving such a remarkable goal, Goldman continues to operate 5 percent of its remaining shares in the Bethesda headquarters. Unlike many owners, who sell their companies for a substantial amount of money and retire, Goldman chooses to remain active. He mentioned that most of his profits from the sale have been invested into re-establishing its brand. In the near future, Goldman plans to extend its product line to include infusions of lemonade beverages. The drinks will be supplied primarily at the local grocery chain, Whole Foods.

Travis Vincent
Travis Vincent's Undergraduate Research Experience
"It provided an opportunity to translate my passive knowledge into active participation. Applying my four years of education
to a couple of projects was a great way to finish."
Your major (s): Economics, Russian
Your Minor (s): History, Russian Studies
Your Research Topic:
Two topics – The value of high school foreign language study within the US labor market (Economics); The "myth" of the Caucasus within Russian Literature (Russian)
Your Faculty Supervisor (s): Ranjan Shrestha (Economics); Clint Walker and Ona Renner-Fahey (Russian)
Briefly describe your research project:
The goal of my economics research was to learn if studying foreign language in high school would lead to a higher future income for a student. My Russian paper analyzed two works of romantic Russian literature and how they portrayed the culture of the Caucasus. I also analyzed a 2007 film which dealt with the same subject and how it brought the same discussion into the 21st century.
How did you become involved in research?
The economics department requires seniors to develop and complete an independent research topic on anything the student thinks interesting and deserving of attention. I used this opportunity to attempt to answer a question which genuinely interests me. I study languages and I would like to know how much my society values such a skill. Although value is, by no means, measured only in financial terms, this type of study hints at how much language can actually be used in someone's future.
My research paper in Russian began in a class focusing on literature that dealt with the Caucasus. After several discussions inside and outside of class, I decided to write my term paper on a few themes that cropped up in many of the works discussed. At the encouragement of my professors I delved deeper into the subject. There is a considerable amount of Russian literature on the area that grapples with problems in the Caucasus that exist even today.
What was the most rewarding part of your research experience?
Presenting my research was perhaps the most rewarding aspect. Unlike other projects and papers that I have turned in for classes, I had a larger audience to show my results to.
What surprised you during the research process?
The amount of time that is spent on details was fairly surprising. The bulk of my research, did not take a great amount of time to produce. It was the fine tuning that every worthwhile project requires that was tough and took a greater amount of time.
What doors did participation in undergraduate research open for you?
I now have greater understanding of each of my topics and the methods used to perform this type of research. I could easily continue either of these studies in graduate education.
How has participating in research affected your undergraduate experience?
It provided an opportunity to translate my passive knowledge into active participation. Applying my four years of education to a couple of projects was a great way to finish. It was a good capstone.
What advice would you give incoming students about getting involved in research?
Research can be very rewarding, especially if you choose something that really interests you. Do not bother with a topic if it is a passing interest. Find out what it is you really want to study and then jump in.

Just starting out
- +
- Very soft and pliable exterior gives quite a bit on insertion, especially the tip which appears to be large but works out quite well for this reason.
The material itself was so smooth I could hardly feel it when the plug was rotated (as opposed to other toys which might pull when rotated, for better or worse)
- −
- Minor, but I could do with the inner core being a bit more rigid. When aggressive in insertion it moves around a bit too much.
And not really a con, but FYI this is too large to be a beginner toy.

II. Institute for Theoretical Physics
Quantum Field Theory (QFT) is the general framework for the description of the physics of relativistic quantum systems, notably of elementary particles. It is the synthesis of Quantum Theory and Special Relativity, supplemented by the principle of Locality in space and time, and by the Spectral Condition in energy and momentum. Algebraic QFT (AQFT) emphasizes the role of algebraic relations among observables which determine, rather than quantum fields proper, a physical system.

How do you keep Google down? You don't
Google South Africa was down for all of a few minutes, if you blinked, you missed it. Some didn't though, because they don't blink.
Google South Africa was down for a few minutes on Thursday and before we could thrive in the joys of search-engine dependent citizens losing their minds and "Asking Jeeves", it was back up again.
No we did not imagine it. As proof, two South Africans took to Twitter to acknowledge they had noticed it as well.
@danielbigred from Twitter, turned out to be the fastest fingers in the great Google "Gone for a Second" event:
@google seems like your services are down in South Africa #googledown
— Daniel Holland (@danielbigred) July 17, 2014
This was followed by a couple of tweets by @xdoomx:
Google down in SA.
Does that affect Android functionality as well? #googledown
— ? brandon ? ? (@xdoomx) July 17, 2014
"What else can I use to search the internet?"
— ? brandon ? ? (@xdoomx) July 17, 2014
He even took the time to post a meme.
#googledown @GoogleSA pic.twitter.com/kyQ7yNMuI2
— ? brandon ? ? (@xdoomx) July 17, 2014
But to no avail, the tweets fell off the trend band-wagon because Google won't let South Africans on Twitter be great.
Dear Google, next time give the nation some time to get really riled up. Even if it's just for funsies.

[gallery link="file"] While my other Rome post documented more the historical side of Rome, this post is dedicated to the people and the fun we had just roaming the city. Two of my close friends are studying in Rome with IES, and we were able to spend time with them and see the Rome that they know. We wandered through parks, spent time on Tiber Island, explored the Jewish ghetto, and ate ridiculous amounts of gelato. Molly and I couldn't quite explain what we had expected Rome to be. We couldn't quite find the words, or maybe even the thoughts, to say what we thought it was going to be like. We both agreed it was different than we imagined, but no matter what our previous judgments were, we left in love with Rome.

The New Orleans Saints held off a furious Tampa Bay rally to win 35-28 on Sunday afternoon and improve their record to 2-4. Malcolm Jenkins' touchdown-saving tackle of Bucs receiver Vincent Jackson was the play of the game in a contest in which both offenses were able to move the ball. Some key numbers:
Passing: Saints, Drew Brees was 27 of 37 for 377 yards, four TDs and one interception. Bucs, Josh Freeman was 24 of 42 for a career-high 420 yards and three TDs.
Third-down conversions: Saints, 9 of 15. Bucs, 4 of 12.
Fourth-down conversions: Saints, 0 for 0. Bucs, 2 of 3. But the one they missed was devastating as they came away from a first-and-goal with no points.
Top receiver: Saints, Lance Moore, nine receptions for 121 yards. Bucs, Vincent Jackson, seven catches for 216 yards, 1 TD.
Sacks: Saints, one for five yards. Bucs: zero
Penalties: Saints, seven for 55 yards. Bucs: seven for 55 yards.
Time of possession: Saints, 26:15. Bucs: 33:45.
Explosive plays/longest: Saints: four plays longer than 25 yards with Joe Morgan's 48-yard TD the longest. Bucs, six plays longer than 25 yards with Vincent Jackson's 95-yard reception the longest.
And one season stat (courtesy of Lenny Vangilder): Saints have allowed 2,793 yards in the first six games, most in the NFL history (at least since 1940). Previous high: 2,743 by 1950 Colts.

Nintendo may be planning to add several new moves in "Pokemon X" and "Pokemon Y." According to a report from Product Reviews on April 20, a new video was posted showing two maneuvers that were discovered by hackers. The moves are named Thousand Arrows and Thousand Waves.
The footage shows Hoopa and Volcanion using the attacks. However, some fans believed that Thousand Arrows and Thousand Waves won't be used for the two leaked pocket monsters. Instead, the attacks may be added to Zygarde, a legendary pocket monster that can be acquired in both "Pokemon X" and "Pokemon Y" from deep inside of a cave after beating the main campaign.
The same pocket monster could also star in the speculated "Pokemon Z." Nintendo has a habit of releasing a third game in the same generation after the initial pair of titles. Although the main game should remain similar, the development team usually makes several minor gameplay and visual alternations. For "Pokemon Z," the changes may include adding Thousand Arrows and Thousand Waves to the arsenal of Zygarde.
The aforesaid Hoopa and Volcanion were leaked along with Diancie by another hacker last year. Nintendo has since confirmed that Diancie would be a part of a distribution event for "Pokemon X" and "Pokemon Y." In Japan, the pocket monster can be acquired by purchasing a movie ticket for an upcoming animated movie based on the franchise. The North American distribution details have not yet been announced, however.
"Pokemon X" and "Pokemon Y" were released last year for Japan, North America and other regions on Oct. 12. The two titles ended up being the fastest selling video games on the Nintendo 3DS with more than 12 million units sold so far. You can find an artwork featuring the aforementioned Diancie from the official international "Pokemon" Twitter page with the picture embedded to the top of this article.

According to an April 1, 2015 story in Deadline Hollywood, Jay Roach, the producer of two politically based movies on HBO, Recount and Game Change, has teamed up with Kristin Gore, the daughter of former Vice President Al Gore, to create a half hour sitcom for the pay cable network called Women in Space which will be about a group of female astronauts en route to colonize another planet.
While the idea of a TV comedy about space colonies is an interesting one, there seems to be one plot hole already if the premise described is accurate. How does one create a proper space colony without both genders to conceive and give birth to children? Without some futuristic version of reproduction, such as cloning, the future space colony would have a rather short existence.
Still it may be too early to judge the show before it is even written, despite the involvement of Roach whose two HBO movies were political hit pieces disguised as drama. Recount and Game Change contained what many considered misogynistic depictions of conservative women – Katherine Harris in the first movie and Sarah Palin in the second. Given that track record, it will be interesting how a comedy will depict women astronauts.

Yasaka-jinja Shrine
Yasaka-jinja, in Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto is believed to have been built in 876. Deities enshrined here are the god Susano-o-no-Mikoto, his consort Kushinada-hime-no-Mikoto, and their son Yahashira-no-Mikogami. Yasaka-jinja is the headquarters for around 3,000 affiliated shrines nationwide, including other Yasaka-jinja and Gion-sha. "Gion" refers to a Buddhist guardian deity. With this Buddhist figure also enshrined, the shrine was known as "Gion-sha" for a long time. In the mid-19th century, however, the name was changed to Yasaka-jinja. People here are quite attached to the shrine and continue to refer to it affectionately as "Gion-san." The Main Hall, designated an Important Cultural Property by the Japanese government, is a rare building in the shinden-zukuri Yoshiki style (an architectural style used for aristocratic residences, predominant during the 9th-12th centuries). This style is also called Gion-zukuri.
Address: 625 Kitagawa, Gion-machi, Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto-shi, Kyoto
Admission Fee: Free in the shrine precincts

Has the Holy Grail been found? The legendary chalice that Christ is said to have used in the Last Supper has been shrouded in mystery for centuries. But historians now say the jewel-encrusted goblet has been in plain sight – sitting in a Spanish basilica.
ABC News on April 1 details how "two historians claim that this is the cup that Jesus drank from at the Last Supper. It had been on display in a church in Spain. The onyx goblet is now encased in a gold chalice."
Grail historians spent three years researching the history of the cup, and co-wrote a book released last week entitled "Los Reyes del Grial," which translates to "The Kings of the Grail," the Irish Times reported.
The cup has been within the keep of Leon's basilica of Saint Isidore since the 11th century, the historians claim.
The two researchers, Margarita Torres and Jose Manuel Ortega del Rio, say that their study of Egyptian scrolls reveals the fate of the grail – it was allegedly stolen by Muslims out of Jerusalem and taken to Egypt, then sold to Spanish King Ferdinand I as a gift, ultimately ending up in the basilica.
One of the most intriguing artifacts of the Christian faith, the grail legend has been woven about ancient tales, Arthurian literature, the history of the Knights Templar and Celtic myths.
"This has been an incredibly popular endeavor to try to find something that Jesus touched," says Dr. Robert Cargill, an assistant professor of religious studies at the University of Iowa.
Cargill, like many, is skeptical of this latest claim to have found the grail.
"I don't think we'll ever find the Holy Grail," he explained. "Even if we had it, there would be no way to confirm it was the grail."
According to Bible canon, the cup was used by Jesus in instituting the Lord's Evening Meal, celebrated on Nisan 14, 33 C.E. with his faithful Apostles just a few hours before he died. The special "meal," coming after the Passover supper of roasted lamb, unleavened bread and bitter greens, was the introduction of a special way Jesus asked that his followers commemorate his death and its significance.
After sharing the bread, which stood for Christ's perfect body, he shared the red wine.
And taking a cup, he offered thanks and gave it to them, saying: "Drink out of it, all of you, for this means my 'blood of the covenant,' which is to be poured out in behalf of many for forgiveness of sins." – Mathew 26:27,28
Jesus' blood was "poured out" for the benefit of many who would receive forgiveness of their sins – a ransom sacrifice to offset the wages of sin.
Perhaps the focus should be on the teachings and death of Jesus, as opposed to a cup he may have drank from.

Nice Concept, But Too BigI definitely needed one of these for my makeup counter, which is overflowing with goodness! I like the concept of it, being able to neatly put away my makeup into the provided slots, but was not prepared for how big the thing is. It doesn't fit into the standard size drawer, and if put on the table, took up the entire counter. I would have loved to slot everything on the side, but it was just too big and clunky. So, nice concept, but not a big fan.

A cold front will move through overnight bringing us some showers and thunderstorms. Don't be surprised if you get woken up in the middle of the night by some thunder. The rain may linger into tomorrow morning but then the sun wil come out while at the same time the dewpoints will be going down. It will turn out to be a beautiful Monday afternoon.
This week, overall is look good. It will have more of a mid June feel instead of an early May feel. Highs will be mainly in the 70s with a few showers and storms here and there. But inbetween we should have plenty of sunshine and nice weather. Next weekend is looking more May-like with cooler temperatures.

Rumsfeld Pissed About Leaks: Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld expressed consternation yesterday with recent press reports on the presence of U.S. Special Forces in Afghanistan and said defense officials who leaked the information had violated federal criminal law and put soldiers' lives at risk. Rumsfeld said a close hold on information is justified by the nature of the conflict is Afghanistan, where U.S. forces are fighting against a ruling government militia, the Taliban, and a shadowy terrorist organization, al Qaeda, that do not present conventional military targets. In such a war, he said, the success of U.S. attacks is heavily dependent upon surprise.
