Coca-Cola plans new product for British market
23 May 2014 [11:13] -
Coca Cola is expected to launch a new product - "glacéau smartwater" - in Britain, aimed at the country's 1.4 billion pound ($2.4 billion) bottled water market, a decade after its Dasani brand failed in the region, The Times reported on Friday.
Coca-Cola GB, which also owns Fanta, Sprite and Dr Pepper, will spend 3 billion pounds to promote the launch in August, the newspaper said. (link.reuters.com/ruq59v)
Jon Woods, general manager of Coca-Cola GB & Ireland, told The Times it had learned its lesson from the experience with Dasani, which was made from purified tap water from Sidcup yet sold at a then-premium price of 95 pence.
Woods told the newspaper that although glacéau smartwater would be a premium product, it would be sold "without the premium price", and that it would be made from natural spring water.
The recommended retail price for a 600 ml (20 fluid ounce) bottle would be 57 pence, the same price charged by rivals for a 500 ml bottle, while an 850 ml bottle would sell for 89 pence, the price of rival brands' 750 ml bottles, The Times reported.
Coca-Cola, which has 106 water brands, already sells glacéau vitaminwater, a range of fruit-flavored drinks, in Britain.
The Times cited marketing industry sources as suggesting that the company was considering using Jennifer Aniston, who has been hired to promote smartwater in America, to promote the product launch.

D50 going to Chart House in Weehawken, NJ - Suggestions?
Sep 29, 2008
Hi all,
I'll be attending a friend's wedding next weekend at the Chart House in Weehawken, NJ. I've never been there, but supposedly the restaurant offers a spectacular view of Manhattan. The wedding is from 11 AM - 6 PM. So I should be able to catch the sunset as well as the city at night.
Wondering has anyone been to that particular Chart House before to tell me if there's a spot for me to park myself and get some photos of the city?
This will be the first time I'll be using the D50 to take nighttime shots of the city, any suggestions or tips?
I currently have the kit 18-55 mm, bought a SB-600, and have a friend whom I can borrow some other Nikon lenses. Any suggestions?

Video and Audio
The video is remarkably clean. The film was issued in the early years of DVD, when most transfers looked more like cable TV quality, but the video here is exceptional. Presented in its original widescreen is always a good thing, and the print quality is great. The colors are vibrant and accurate, and there's little to no grain or dust. One minor complaint would be the main titles, in its unsettling red font, but other than that, the video is great.
Audio is offered in English, but the subtitles are in so many languages that if you wanted, you could learn Chinese by reading the film enough times. It's pretty balanced in terms of dialogue vs. background noise/music.Read more ›
It was right there and then that Schumacher wanted to make a film based on these type of college graduates who face problems of transitioning to adulthood. In order to capture the life of a young adults graduating college, Schumacher tapped into recent college graduate, Karl Kurlander ("Saved by the Bell: The New Class" and "Malibu, CA") and together they began working on "St. Elmo's Fire". Schumacher had renowned musician and producer David Foster (who wrote major hit songs for "Karate Kid, Part II", "Sleepless in Seattle", "The Bodyguard", etc.) working on his first film as a composer and cinematographer Stephn H. Burm ("The Untouchables", "Snake Eyes", "Mystery Men", etc.).
But what the film would be known for is the cast in which David Blum of New Yorker Magazine would dub as "The Brat Pack", a title that would be synonymous with Hollywood's popular young talents: Emilio Estevez ("Breakfast Club", "The Mighty Ducks" films and "Young Guns" films), Rob Lowe ("The West Wing", "Brothers & Sisters", "About Last Night...", etc.), Andrew McCarthy ("Lipstick Jungle", "Weekend at Bernies" and "The Joy Luck Club"), Demi Moore ("Indecent Proposal", "G.I. Jane", "Ghost", etc.Read more ›
Quite honestly, I've lost track of the number of times I've seen it; I've worn out two videotapes of it, and am making good headway on my third copy.
And why do I love it? I think the messages in it--about love and loyalty, friendship and betrayal, growing up and growing apart--can be applied to every stage of life. The first time I saw it, I was six years old; it was a "Tuesday Night at the Movies" movie...somehow, it related to my life. Fourteen years later, as a junior in college, it still makes sense. I firmly believe that it still will, years down the line. The actors are fabulous, too.

School Library Journal - School Library JournalGr 3-5-This superficial overview, done in the ``Eyewitness'' style, features attractive full-color visuals, but is short on substance. Rowe and Burns present bits and snatches of information on the origins of writing and the contributions made by various cultures. The writing is simplistic and the authors continually try to relate the ideas to modern forms of communication, which is not always effective. The best aspect of the book is its full-color photos and reproductions of artifacts from ancient civilizations. Although there is an excellent time line, it is, unfortunately, placed at the back of the text. Overall, this title is insufficient for reports and is not likely to attract browsers.-Marcia S.

Award winning multi-beam sonar manufacturer WASSP Ltd. debuted its latest system – now for super yacht applications.
WASSP-Wireless has been designed to address superyacht captains' concerns about underwater obstacle avoidance, hull damage or grounding the vessel.
Suited for use when navigating in unknown waters or where marine charts lack sufficient detail, WASSP-Wireless aims to take the risk out of the equation for the captains of these very large and very expensive vessels.
Installed in the tender or support vessel of a super yacht, the WASSP-Wireless system uses a wifi radio link to send a real-time sea floor map back to the super yachts bridge system and display on a MaxSea navigation plotting platform - all in real-time.
Using a wide angle, multi beam transducer, WASSP-Wireless quickly and accurately covers the seafloor. With one pass at a depth of 20m, WASSP-Wireless will map a swath over 60m wide using 112 sonar beams and renders an information-rich 2D or 3D real-time image on the bridge.
Seafloor topography, rock or coral outcrops, obstacles are clearly identified giving large vessels the opportunity to navigate safely into or through areas that would have previously been seen as 'off limits'.
WASSP Managing Director Gareth Hodson said the systems ease of installation makes it the perfect application for large luxury vessels. "Unlike other avoidance systems, the transducer is mounted in the hull of the tender, thereby avoiding the need to slip and engineer transducer hull penetrations on the super yacht - usually an exercise super yacht owners like to avoid," Hodson said. "Alternatively for 'rapid deployment' the transducer can be pole mounted to the side of a tender."
With more than 700 WASSP systems installed globally, WASSP is used in a wide variety of commercial applications from defense, hydrographic to commercial fishing. Its proven design, performance and reliability in these demanding markets makes it an ideal candidate for super yachts where the same system requirements are expected.
According to the manufacturer, WASSP-Wireless is specifically designed for super yacht applications, simple to install, easy to use and provides a complete solution to exploring uncharted locations and anchorages.

Pics: Leonardo DiCaprio Gives Warm Hug to Blake Lively in Cannes
Leonardo DiCaprio has added fuel to speculation that he might be wooing Blake Lively. The Hollywood actor, who recently split from model girlfriend Bar Refaeli, has been photographed greeting the "Gossip Girl" beauty with a warm embrace when she came on board director Steven Spielberg's yacht in Cannes, France on Tuesday, May 17.
36-year-old Leo was wearing blue shirt and a pair of jeans for the occasion, and hid his eyes behind large dark glasses. 23-year-old Blake, in the meantime, dressed herself in a cream chiffon mini dress. She carried a pink Chanel shoulder bag with a green scarf tied to it. The two looked comfortable with each other and even shared a few laughs.
Leo and Blake, who were introduced over dinner in November 2010 by "The Great Gatsby" director Baz Luhrman, were not alone on the boat. They were joined by Steven, his wife Kate Capshaw and fellow actor Lukas Haas.
Before they were snapped together on the yacht, Leo and Blake reportedly spent time together at a hotel. New York Post's Page Six reported the two stars hung out at the Hotel du Cap Eden Roc on Friday night, May 13. "She was wearing white and he was in a baseball cap," a source recalled. "They walked around the grounds together. It looked like they were a couple."
While Leo got a lovely company for the boat trip, his ex-girlfriend came to a red carpet event at the 64th Annual Cannes Film Festival solo. Attending the premiere of "The Beaver", the 25-year-old model looked stunning in a navy blue Roberto Cavalli gown with embellished cutout designs. She completed her look with a set of jewelry by Chopard.

By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens....Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." ~ John Maynard Keynes
What Is To Be Done? - A Comment on Angelo Codevilla's "Ruling Class"
"In his paper "America's Ruling Class – and the Perils of Revolution"1 Professor Angelo Codevilla offers an excellent analysis of the causes and forms of government encroachment into the basic traditional liberties of Americans, and a very good sketch of the reasons why big government ideology succeeded in imposing its tenets upon the country, despite overwhelming opposition by Americans. The problem America faces, according to him, is nothing less than a complete usurpation of power by an alienated elite: the ideologues of big government and the politicians that work in concert to subvert the structure of the American constitution, and to rule over the great majority of Americans against their will. In pursuing this goal they are using the federal government, judiciary and educational system as their levers of power."

Samantha Power points 370.
(photo credit:REUTERS)
Every once in a great while – far too rarely to be sure – an individual acquires near-iconic stature in a given field of human endeavor. Samantha Power, whom US President Barack Obama has appointed to be the next US Ambassador to the United Nations, is such a person.I write as the teacher of seminars on the law of genocide and war crimes trials at Columbia Law School, Cornell Law School, and Syracuse University College of Law. Power's Pulitzer Prize winning book, A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide is far more than an indispensable resource. It provides the background for and frames many of the discussions in my classes on how atrocities such as the Holocaust, the massacres at Srebrenica, and the Armenian and Rwandan genocides were allowed to occur.

Pier Paolo Cito, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is highlighting recent economic bright spots while taking care not to overstate a recovery that still has not lifted millions out of joblessness.
His Republican rivals acknowledge that there's been improvement. But they say Obama's policies have been a drag on a recovery that could have taken hold sooner.
There have been positive indicators in areas ranging from retail sales and housing to unemployment and falling gas prices. But the European debt crisis is casting a pall over these domestic gains, and many Americans have yet to see the benefits.
Obama cites months of private sector job growth. But, he says, "It's not happening as fast as it needs to."

Video: NC cop pushes K-9 into suspect's car window
A 15-person jury cleared the officer of any wrongdoing
By PoliceOne Staff
WILMINGTON, N.C. — Dash-cam video of a pursuit coming to an end shows a responding K-9 officer lift his K-9 partner into the suspect's car window.
Johnnie Williams had driven through a DUI checkpoint on October 31, prompting a pursuit in which he nearly hit three police officers, according to WECT.
The pursuit ended when K-9 Officer Stafford Brister used a pit maneuver to stop Williams' vehicle. Williams can be seen in the video raising his arms just as Brister lifts his K-9 partner up to the window to enter the vehicle.
Williams was taken to the hospital to treat lacerations on his face and shoulder from the K-9, according to the report.
Monday, a grand jury of 15 people decided Officer Brister should not face criminal charges for his actions. Brister remains on administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal investigation.
A grand jury indicted Williams on charges including assault with a deadly weapon on a government official, being a habitual felon and traffic violations.

- Convergence of Agile, DevOps and Cloud Development drive major improvements in quality and efficiency as more developers and enterprises look to cloud to speed software delivery
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Rainer Heinold
Senior Technical Director
CollabNet www.collab.net
Heinold leads services teams in Europe that provide technical consulting, pre-sales, implementation and ongoing customer support for customers looking to improve software agility through Agile, DevOps, ALM and cloud-based development practices.
CollabNet continues to support the advancement of modern software delivery practices through thought leadership and technical innovation. Most recently CollabNet partnered with UC4 to launch CollabNet Deploy with UC4, an enterprise DevOps solution that supports Enterprise Cloud Development. Below are abstracts for presentations Heinold will give at industry events in Europe. CollabNet also is a sponsor for the DevOps days in London, March 15-16, 2013. http://www.devopsdays.org/events/2013-london/
DevOps and the Enterprise: Perfect Partners
DevOps Summit Feb. 21, 2013, Amsterdam, NL
DevOps can and should drive competitive advantage in the enterprise. All too often it is seen as "just the latest fad," or not able to deal with enterprise-class problems. In this session, Heinold will outline a framework to help drive the DevOps conversation in the IT organization. At its core, DevOps is an Agile methodology that stresses collaboration between those building software (traditionally Dev), those deploying software (traditionally Ops), and those using the software. He will discuss how to build a continuous delivery pipeline which supports the needs of all these stake holders without giving up on traceability, compliance or governance.
Case Study: Business Agility through DevOps
ALM Summit Feb. 28, 2013, Kensington, UK
For the world's leading mail and logistics services group, rapid growth paired with a strong push into online services accelerated the business demand for new applications. In one division, there are more than 300 active, concurrent software projects, and most of the apps are critical to the core business. Using a single platform to standardize all vital processes (for development, maintenance and operations) has enabled collaboration, created efficiencies and reduced cost. Heinold will discuss how applications can be managed and deployed at the pace demanded by the business without jeopardizing governance, visibility and oversight. Overall business agility improved as applications are delivered closely aligned and timed with the business needs.
Case study: What does an ALM service have to provide?
ALM Summit Feb. 28, 2013, Kensington, UK
Cloud computing, Agile methodologies and DevOps have changed the requirements of a development infrastructure. Whether developing in the cloud or for the cloud â€" traditional ALM solutions run short without modernization and extension. This presentation provides thoughts and ideas on what a modern platform should provide as a service to developers, takes a look into the specialties of system engineering, embedded software and the co-existence with PLM. Finally, it provides a framework and guidelines to help decide where infrastructure status is today and what the next steps should look like to upgrade it into a cloud-ready state.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Out-standing in their field: The Jubilee and Olympics themed scarecrows which are stopping drivers in their tracks
Scarecrows might be a familiar sight across the English countryside, but there's nothing common at all about these ones.
Dubbed 'Scarecrow-ns', the unique creations have been put up to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee as well as the Olympic Games this summer.
And the straw members of the Royal Family, including the Queen herself, are helping to stop speeding drivers in their tracks in the leafy village of Rostherne in Cheshire.
Residents in Rostherne, Cheshire have created a number of different figures, including the Queen herself
Jumping for joy: A scarecrow Prince Philip, in an uncharacteristic outfit, can be seen leaping over a hedge
The Queen's grand-daughter, Zara Phillips, can also be seen leaping a garden hedge on 'Dobbin', a scarecrow version of her horse.
And an athletic Prince Philip is also present - gamely clambering over a hedgerow in a red, white and blue 'Team GB' running kit.
Zara Philips, the Queen's Granddaughter, has also been depicted as a scarecrow
One unfortunate scarecrow has been re-created in the aftermath of a cycling accident
Taking a break: A scarecrow version of the Queen and Prince Philip can also be seen taking a rest in the village
The scarecrows, some of whom have been created to commemorate the Queen's Jubilee year, have also been captured in a variety of unusual poses
As well as being captured in action, another scarecrow Queen and Duke of Edinburgh can also be spotted sitting on a bench at the entrance to the village.
But the Royals are not the only straw people conjured up by residents in the village, which is part of the Tatton Estate.
There's also an unseated jockey, the aftermath of an accident where a scarecrow's 'legs' can be spotted peeking out of a hay bale, and an exhausted runner.
Locals have reported that the unusual scarecrows have led to a dramatic reduction in cars speeding through
This summer's Olympic games have also been commemorated in straw by villagers in Rostherne, Cheshire
The scarecrows, one of which comes complete with a placard of a Biblical verse - 'The race is not to the swift' - have caused drivers to slow down as they pass through Rostherne
Parish Chairman Joe Gate said the presence of scarecrows in the village had proved popular: 'It was the first scarecrow competition we've done and lots of people got involved.
'But it was more about having a bit of fun to raise a smile with visitors and it's certainly done that.
'They've attracted lots of attention.
'One or two cyclists have nearly come a cropper because they haven't been watching where they're going .
'And who needs speed cameras with scarecrows like these? They've really slowed down the traffic driving through!'

5 questions: Jazz vice president Walt Perrin talks about the team's offseason plans
Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
Walt Perrin has been with the Utah Jazz for 14 years, the last seven as the vice president of basketball operations. He evaluates players on all levels and assists general manager Dennis Lindsey in player personnel decisions. He is responsible for bringing players in prior to the NBA draft on June 26. He sat down and spoke with Mike Sorensen last week about how the Jazz are preparing for the upcoming draft.
Q: What are your main duties over the next three weeks before the draft?
A: "Finalizing and making sure we get the right players in here before the draft. If we can't get the right players in, it's trying to get to see them and talk to them. We have to organize video projects on everybody and watch a lot of videotapes, focusing on players we're looking at picks 5, 23 and 35. Also looking at the guys if we want to move up in the draft, if we can make some trades for the top three or four guys or if we want to move back in the draft at the next five. So we're doing a lot of video work. We've got a lot of background information on most of the players, but we still have to make some calls.
Q: Last year you substantially increased the number of players you brought in with more than 70 players to be evaluated here in Utah. How many do you expect to bring in this year and what is the main objective when you bring players in?
A: "I don't think we'll have that many this year, but we'll be close, though. We just want to get to know kids personally. Once they get on the court it's how they can push through our workouts at altitude to see how good a shape they're in. Overall, we do a lot of physical testing before they even get on the court. We look at their body structure, how they react when they jump and land, how they move laterally, how fast they are, how quick they are, how high they jump. Then once they get on the court we look at how they pick up instructions from the coaches, how well they shoot the ball and how well they play defense when we do three-on-threes. Character is very big here in Utah. If a kid has a bad character, we might just mark him off our list. It's a big part of our culture here in Utah.''
Q: What is the possibility of bringing in the top five or six players projected for this year's draft in the nest three weeks?
A: "I think it's going to be tough to get the top three players (Andrew Wiggins, Jabari Parker and Joel Embiid) in. Beyond that, I think I can get most of them in. I may also have problems with players projected from 12 through 20. One, because agents don't think we're going to take them at five, and two, they don't think they're going to fall to 23. Three, we've got a young team and good players at every position. There's always trades, and we always tell them that. Also, guys in those positions (12 through 20) are doing eight to 10 workouts, and agents don't want them to work out more than eight times, so it's tough. The dates are so compacted and they don't want them to do back-to-backs. You can only do so many in a 30-day time frame.
Q: You have a couple of foreign players you drafted in the past, Ante' Tomic in 2008 and Raul Neto last year. What is their status?
A: Both have had pretty good years, and Tomic is on one of the better teams in Europe. We're at the point with him where we're trying to make that decision (whether to buy out his contract). With Raul, we're not sure, we haven't talked about it yet what we may want to do in terms of bringing him over this year or keeping him there for another year.
Q: What is your overall opinion of this year's draft?
A: I think it's going to be a fairly deep draft, and there are some players that have an opportunity to be possible franchise-type players. But we may not know that for another three or four years. It's a deep draft, and there are some players late in the first round that can not only make teams, but that can play significant minutes. There may also be some guys in the early second round that can play significant minutes and surprise some people and become pretty good players. We're a young team anyway, so do we want to add three more young kids? That's something we have to decide.''

Baze May Break Jockey Record
Published: Thursday, November 30, 2006 at 6:19 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 30, 2006 at 6:54 a.m.
Johnny Longden. Bill Shoemaker. Laffit Pincay Jr. Those legendary jockeys have held the most revered record in horse racing for the last 50 years. The record is just about to be passed to a much more anonymous rider, a man who has never won a Triple Crown race or a Breeders' Cup race, a man who has chosen to ride where he can win.
Russell Baze has 9,528 winners entering today's card at Bay Meadows in San Mateo, Calif. Pincay's record is 9,530.
Longden got to a record 4,871 on Labor Day 1956 and retired 10 years later with 6,032.
Shoemaker caught Longden on Labor Day 1970. Shoe got it up to 8,833 before retiring in 1990.

Associated Press
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — About 3,300 University of Alabama graduates have finally gotten the chance to walk in cap and gown, more than three months after a tornado hit Tuscaloosa and forced their commencement to be postponed.
The university held graduation exercises for its class of 2011 on Saturday and Friday night. The school awarded 4,770 degrees in all during three ceremonies, with about 70 percent for students who were to graduate in May but had to wait because of the deadly twister that struck near campus on April 27.
Several hundred people attended a candelight memorial service Friday night for the six students who died in the storm. All six received posthumous degrees.
University spokeswoman Cathy Andreen told The Associated Press on Saturday night that the memorial service was "an emotional ceremony but I think it meant a lot to the family and to everyone else who was there."
"It gave us a chance to bring some closure to everything that happened in April," she said.
Among those to attend the memorial service was Cecilianne King. She received her bachelor's degree in psychology on Saturday but is still coping with the death of her roommate Ashley Harrison.
"I'll be thinking of Ashley all the time because she's going to be with me," King told The Birmingham News.
During the morning ceremony, Ashley's parents, David and Darlene Harrison, went on stage and accepted the posthumous degree from the business school on behalf of their daughter. Darlene Harrison wiped away tears as she held the degree. The Texas couple both wore badges with a photo of their smiling daughter.
"It's amazing the love the university has shown," Darlene Harrison said afterward, according to the newspaper.
Others who accepted posthumous diplomas were relatives of Danielle M. Downs, Melanie Nicole Mixon, Morgan M. Sigler and Marcus Jeremy Smith. Storm victim Brandon Scott Atterton's mother could not attend.
The EF-4 twister that ravaged Tuscaloosa was among 62 tornadoes that hit Alabama on April 27, leaving dozens dead.

I love this fragrance! I can't tell me how many people tell me that they love my perfume. I love it too. It has become my signature fragrance. I use this at night, and Costume National Scent for day. Can't live without them!

Having loved Alexander McQueen Kingdom which was discontinued due to lack of appeal, I feel I have at last found an alternative which has a similar, wonderful point of difference!

This smells like no other scent. I especially like it because not a lot of people wear it. I am always on the look out for a unique scent and this is beautiful and long lasting. I am always asked what I am wearing, but I don't tell.

I love this scent beyond all. It is different and YOU will never smell it on anyone. No one will be able to figure out what you are wearing. It is not popular which I like. Who wants to smell like everyone they meet? It's worth the higher price!
