Bodum Iced Tea Set
Our Bodum Iced Tea Set makes brewing fresh iced tea natural and easy using select Mighty Leaf loose tea and Bodum's iced tea pitcher. The starter set includes 4 ounces of loose tea and a 50-ounce dishwasher-safe pitcher.
Removable infuser holds tea pouches or loose tea. Can fit in most refrigerator doors.
Preparing the perfect iced tea is a process to be savored. Watch how the traditional elements harmoniously come together to make the perfect cup and enjoy the liberation of pure tea goodness.
This is what we call the Mighty Leaf signature multi-sensory ("sensory melange") tea experience. Come share with us and learn how to get infused. With the Bodum pitcher making iced tea is fun and easy.
The quality of tea is affected by the quality of water used to prepare it. Using filtered or bottled water is best. If possible, avoid brewing tea with tap, distilled or mineral water. Never over-boiling water, as it results in flat-tasting tea.
1) Heat filtered or bottled water to 205F for a black and herbal tea, and to 170F-180F for a green tea.
Whole Leaf Tea
For black and green tea add 4 tablespoons of tea to side brew column of the Bodum pitcher. For herbal tea add 6 tablespoons to side brew column.
Infusion Time
1) Pour boiling water over tea leaves filling pitcher up 2/3 way with boiling water. 2) Allow to steep: 3 - 5 minutes for black tea, 2 - 3 minutes for green tea, and 5 - 7 minutes for herbal infusions. 3) Pull out side brew column. Add enough ice so that the level of liquid rises to top of pitcher. 4) Allow to cool and refrigerate.
Savor the Leaf
Enjoy refreshing iced tea and rediscover the pleasure of the way tea was naturally meant to be. This is the magic of Mighty Leaf.

Web strategist and content marketer Andy Crestodina of Chicago's Orbit Media says marketers can only make good content decisions if they're paying attention to the data. Here he tells us why he no longer listens to his own opinions and why content marketing is ultimately a contest about who can be the best teacher and who can give the most information.
London's Velocity Partners co-founder Doug Kessler describes himself as a displaced Yank. He started his career at Ogilvy & Mather in New York, but soap and fabric softener marketing bored him, so he jumped ship to start his own B2B agency. The self-professed content marketing junkie is best known and loved for his pithy comments and witty SlideShare decks. Here he talks about what "crap" content looks like and why B2B brands should take the long view when it comes to measuring ROI.
Robert Rose has helped to shape content strategies for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, SAP, Hewitt Packard and Microsoft. He is currently chief strategy officer for the Content Marketing Institute (CMI) and is also a senior contributing analyst for the Digital Clarity Group. Here he shares his views on why big organizations struggle to adopt content marketing as part of their marketing strategy and why big data is a bucket load of nonsense.
Customer-centric storytelling is the cornerstone of content success, says Ann Handley best-selling author, keynote speaker and content marketing expert. She believes words are the bedrock of online communication and should be used with clarity and brevity. Here she tells Juliet Stott about how to create engaging content and why every company with an online presence is a publisher.
If your company publishes a magazine or other publication, it's likely your publication(s) sit at the center of your company.
Wearable tech and content don't really go together says journalist, author and co-founder of Contently Inc. Shane Snow. The self-professed tech geek says he's more excited about the impact virtual reality will have on content. Here, he explains why organic social is no longer effective and why programmatic content may deliver results but brands that use counter-intuitive methods will realize the biggest breakthroughs.
Uninformed executives are the biggest threat to B2B content marketers, says Michael Brenner, head of strategy for content marketing platform provider NewsCred. A strong believer in the value of content, Brenner says it will always deliver ROI and tells Content King Juliet Stott how businesses can incentivize employees to contribute to their thought leadership and content marketing efforts.
In a world where digital dominates, Keith Kawasaki, VP of client services at iostudio, which publishes the Army National Guard's flagship magazine GX® The Guard Experience, remains a champion of print. He describes it as a magnetic experience, something that will bring people together in a meaningful way. Here, Kawasaki talks to Content King Juliet Stott about the longevity of print and why it's still holding its own against social media.
Not every brand can become a publisher, says The Content Council's Content Director of the Year Nic McCarthy of UK content marketing agency Seven. But all brands can adopt an "editorial mindset." In this Q and A, McCarthy chats with Content King Juliet Stott about what it means to be a content director and why ad-blocking will raise standards in the industry.
Digital can no longer be a "carbuncle on the side of a company" says Content Strategist and Information Architect Karen McGrane. In the past 20 years she has been instrumental in transitioning major U.S. publishers' content from print to digital. She has worked with Hearst, The Atlantic, Fast Company and Time Inc., referring to publishers as canaries in the content coal mine. MSP-C Content King Juliet Stott interviewed McGrane about the importance of adaptive content and what big business can learn from the publishers who've been forced to go digital.

Midwest States and Manitoba Sign Agreements to Reduce Greenhouse Gases, Promote Energy Efficiency and Renewables
Nine governors of Midwestern states and the premier of the Canadian province of Manitoba have signed the Midwestern Regional Greenhouse Gas Reduction Accord. The agreement encompasses a regional strategy to achieve energy security and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, 11 Midwestern states have adopted an Energy Security and Climate Stewardship Platform that establishes other goals for the region to promote timelines for energy efficiency, biobased products, renewable sources for electricity, and carbon capture and storage.
The accord includes plans to:
- Establish greenhouse gas reduction targets and timeframes consistent with the Midwestern Governors Association (MGA) member states' targets.
- Develop a market-based and multisector cap-and-trade mechanism to help achieve those reduction targets.
- Establish a system to enable tracking, management, and crediting for entities that reduce greenhouse gas emissions
- Develop and implement additional steps to achieve the reduction targets, such as a low-carbon fuel standards and regional incentives and funding mechanisms.
The agreement was signed at the MGA Energy Security and Climate Change Summit in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Those who signed included Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle, Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels, Iowa Governor Chester Culver, Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm, Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius, Ohio Governor Ted Strickland, South Dakota Governor Michael Rounds, and Manitoba Premier Gary Doer.
"Today's agreement is an important milestone toward achieving a cleaner, more secure energy future," Pawlenty said. "The Midwest is well positioned to help lead the energy revolution that our nation needs to stay competitive and strong. Working together, states can build a de facto national energy policy that will create good jobs and build a cleaner and safer world."
Within the next year, governors and other participating leaders will establish the targets for greenhouse gas emission reductions and complete development of proposed cap-and-trade system. Targets will be consistent with the 60 to 80 percent recommended by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The accord is expected to be fully implemented by mid-2010.
As part of the summit, the Midwestern states, including Nebraska and North Dakota, adopted the Energy Security and Climate Stewardship Platform for the Midwest. The platform establishes shared goals for the Midwest region, including specific timelines for advancing energy efficiency, promoting biobased products, producing renewable electricity, and developing carbon capture and storage.
To support these goals, the group launched regional initiatives to address:
- Creation of a regional transportation and storage infrastructure for CO2 management
- A bioproduct procurement program to support the growth of the region's bioeconomy
- Adequacy of the electricity transmission system to support thousands of new megawatts of wind energy
- Renewable fuels corridors and coordinated signage to promote renewable fuel usage across the Midwest
- Advanced bioenergy permitting to assist states with the latest technologies
- A low-carbon energy transmission infrastructure that will provide a cost-effective way to supply the Midwest with sustainable and environmentally responsible energy.
The Midwestern Greenhouse Gas Reduction Accord builds on greenhouse gas reduction efforts in each state and three regional efforts. In 2003, California, Oregon, and Washington created the West Coast Global Warming Initiative; in 2006, Arizona and New Mexico launched the Southwest Climate Change Initiative; and in February of 2007, Arizona, California, New Mexico, Oregon, and Washington launched the Western Regional Climate Action Initiative.

Wake up, America!
The liberal elite are working to redefine your rights such that, if they are successful, your inalienable rights will look more like an entitlement granted by the government.
In state after state from New York, California, Washington and, sadly, Colorado legislatures are being manipulated by liberals and Democrats whose answers to almost every problem is more government control.
The Second Amendment to the Constitution protects the rights of an individual to keep and bear firearms.
This right was instituted within the Bill of Rights to face down government tyranny, uphold the laws and to facilitate the natural right to self-defense.
Increasingly our elected representatives, mostly liberal Democrats, are trying to put government controls between the people and our constitution.
In Washington state, Democrats introduced a bill which would allow local sheriffs to enter homes of gun owners to ensure their legal weapons are stored properly. Once this detail was exposed the bill was withdrawn.
Sen. Adam Kline of Seattle said he sponsored the legislation without reading the eight page bill. Eight pages! Sound familiar?
In New York state, a bill was introduced by a Democrat assemblyman that will require all gun owners in New York to obtain and maintain liability insurance coverage of at least $1 million. It's estimated that this insurance would cost $1,600-$2,000 per year.
In Colorado there have been debates on four anti-gun bills. The comments from the legislators have been both bizarre and sexist.
Democratic Rep. Joe Salazar intimated that women can't be trusted with guns in threatening situations "because you just don't know who you're going to be shooting at." Do you suppose he favors the administration's decision to put women in combat?
In debating and supporting a restriction of concealed carry on college campuses, state Sen. Jesse Ulibarri stated that a potential female victim, rather than shoot at her assailant, would be better off using "a ball point pen" to stab him when he reloads. Seriously?
At the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, officials suggest that "passive resistance may be your best defense." They recommend that girls "tell your attacker that you have a disease or are menstruating."
They advise potential victims that "vomiting or urinating may also convince the attacker to leave you alone."
These are the same liberal hypocrites who support a woman's right to choose to end an unborn baby's life but wouldn't allow the woman to have the right to determine the means to save her own. To think that they were able to convince an uninformed electorate that the GOP was conducting a "war on women" because they opposed using tax dollars to pay for birth control pills. OMG!
It's interesting how liberals think that requiring a photo ID will result in voter suppression and is a significant burden for eligible voters and therefore should be unconstitutional.
A photo ID wouldn't cost a voter anything. Why don't these same liberals feel that searching the home of a gun owner, requiring a $2,000 insurance policy or paying for a background check is also unconstitutional?

Born: January 5, 1942
Joseph A. Gallian, a mathematics professor at University of Minnesota Duluth, is known for his efforts to increase public understanding and appreciation of mathematics and for his undergraduate research program.
As president, Gallian strived to promote public understanding and appreciation for mathematics. Towards this end he secured funding from the National Security Agency to establish the MAA Disntiguished Lecture Series at The MAA Carriage House. He also obtained funding for the production and distribution of the MAA Women of Mathematics Poster.
While MAA-President-elect, Gallian conceived the idea and raised the funds to make the feature-length documentary film about the U.S. International Mathematical Olympiad team, Hard Problems: The Road to the World's Toughest Math Contest. The film premiered at the 2008 Joint Mathematics Meetings and was broadcast more than 2000 times in its first year of syndication on American Public Television. Upcoming airdates are listed here.
Using data from MAA American Mathematics Competitions, Gallian coauthored a 2008 study of attitudes toward math titled "Cross-Cultural Analysis of Students with Exceptional Talent in Mathematical Problem Solving" (pdf). With its conclusion that "there exist many girls with profound intrinsic aptitude for mathematics; however, they are rarely identified due to socio-cultural, educational, or other environmental factors," the study garnered significant media attention.
Gallian conducted the first MAA staff satisfaction survey, oversaw an ambitious fundraising campaign, secured funding for Project NExT Fellows, and, with MAA Associate Director for Student Activities Robert Vallin, earned a $468,000, five-year National Science Foundation grant to enable undergraduate students to travel to the Joint Mathematics Meetings and MathFest.
Gallian obtained a B.A. from Slippery Rock University in 1966, an M.A. from the University of Kansas in 1968, and a Ph.D. from the University of Notre Dame in 1971. After serving as a visiting assistant professor at Notre Dame for one year, he went to theUniversity of Minnesota Duluth, where he is a Morse Alumni Distinguished University Professor of Teaching and Professor of Mathematics.
Among his honors are the MAA Haimo Award for distinguished teaching, the Council on Undergraduate Research Fellow Award for excellence in conducting research with undergraduates, the MAA Allendoerfer and Evans awards for exposition, and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching Minnesota Professor of the Year in 2003. He has been MAA Pólya Lecturer, MAA second vice president, codirector of the MAA's Project NExT, associate editor of the American Mathematical Monthly and Mathematics Magazine, and an advisory board member for Math Horizons and MAA FOCUS.
Since 1977, Gallian has run a summer mathematics research program for undergraduates. More than 160 research papers written by undergraduates under his supervision in the program have been published in professional journals. Now an NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) (the NSF REU program did not exist until 1986), the program has been exceptionally successful and called the gold standard of REUs by colleagues. The current popularity of mathematics REU sites across the United States can be attributed in large part to the success of Gallian's original program.
Gallian has given more than 250 invited lectures at conferences, colleges, and universities and is the author or editor of six books and more than 100 articles. He has given 66 invited talks at MAA section meetings and has spoken at 28 of the 29 MAA sections. He served as chair of the 2003 and 2010 Mathematics Awareness Month committees.
In addition to the usual math courses, he has taught a humanities course called the "The Lives and Music of the Beatles" for more than 25 years and a liberal arts course on math and sports. In 2000, a Duluth newspaper cited him as one of the "100 Great Duluthians of the 20th Century."

SACRAMENTO -- Two decades after California barred illegal immigrants from obtaining driver's licenses, Gov. Jerry Brown Thursday signed legislation that restores the privilege, ending a policy battle that liberal Democrats had been fighting -- and losing -- for years.
Brown initially opposed making driver's licenses available to people in the country illegally but later reversed his position when comprehensive immigration reform legislation stalled over the summer in the U.S. House of Representatives after passing the Senate.
Another controversial immigration measure, the so-called TRUST Act, which would restrict county jail officials from detaining immigrants without serious criminal records on behalf of federal immigration authorities, awaits his signature or veto by Oct. 13. Brown had vetoed a similar bill last year, but its author, Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco, agreed to make changes requested by Brown.
Speaking on the steps of Los Angeles City Hall, Brown said the driver's license bill will make California's roadways safer by requiring that newly licensed motorists obtain insurance and take roadway safety courses.
The legislation also sends a clear message to the newly licensed drivers that they are valued here, he said.
"No longer are undocumented people in the shadows," Brown said. "They are alive and well and respected in the state of California."
Assembly Bill 60 requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to start issuing driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants by Jan. 1, 2015. The licenses must include a mark or symbol that distinguishes them from regular licenses -- a requirement of a post-9/11 federal law.
Assemblyman Luis Alejo, D-Watsonville, the sponsor of Assembly Bill 60, and Los Angeles City Councilman Gil Cedillo, a former state legislator who sponsored a similar bill in the mid-1990s, praised Brown for signing the bill and said it was long overdue.
Alejo called the new law a "historic measure," and Cedillo said it "opens a window of opportunity unfairly closed shut to millions of Californians in 1993."
That was the year the late Sen. Al Alquist, D-San Jose, sponsored a bill requiring that all driver's license applicants provide a Social Security number as proof of "legal presence" in the country.
Alquist said at the time that undocumented immigrants were using their licenses to unlawfully obtain welfare and other government benefits.
Opponents of comprehensive immigration reform called Brown's signing of AB60 a move that undermines enforcement of federal immigration laws and could threaten national security.
Ira Mehlman, a spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, said the documents drivers must present to obtain licenses are unverifiable and can be easily forged. It will be tough for the Department of Motor Vehicles to catch drivers attempting to validate false identities, said Mehlman, whose group works to reduce both legal and illegal immigration.
"This opens up the possibility of illegal aliens creating false identities not just because they want to work in California, but for all sorts of other reasons, including terrorism," Mehlman said.
But César Juarez, the former director of organizing for the Services, Immigrant Rights and Education Network, a San Jose group known as SIREN, scoffed at the idea that licenses would be used for anything but to lawfully travel on California's roads.
Juarez said his mother will be among the estimated 1.4 million immigrants who will be able to apply for a license under the new law.
"My mom has lived here more than 20 years and needs to drive to get to work, but has always been afraid of the consequences," Juarez said. "This law provides the relief from stress that she needs."

SAN JOSE - In what city leaders hope ushers in a new era of international travel for their modern airport, the inaugural All Nippon Airways Dreamliner 787 flight linking Silicon Valley with Tokyo roared out over the Pacific Friday morning, just hours after the Federal Aviation Administration ordered a safety review of the new planes.
The long-courted San Jose-Tokyo flight - a five-day-a-week route that eventually will be daily - received a boisterous send-off, including toasts of sake and a water turret salute. San Jose is the first Bay Area airport to land the fuel-sipping plane loaded with passenger comforts - such as larger windows with electronic shades - on a permanent route. And it is the first direct San Jose flight to Asia since American Airlines ended its San Jose-Tokyo service seven years ago.
"It's important to our economy, it's important to our families and it's important to our airport," San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed said in a ceremony marking the start of the service that began with two musicians playing kotos, harplike Japanese instruments. Reed was accompanied by a host of heavy-hitters, including former Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta, U.S. Ambassador to Japan John Roos, Consul General of Japan in San Francisco Hiroshi Inomata and ANA Chairman of the Board Yoji Ohashi.
"The San Jose-Tokyo service is now open for business," announced Silicon Valley Leadership Group CEO Carl Guardino, who played an instrumental role in bringing the new route to San Jose. A ribbon-cutting and breaking of a sake-barrel with wooden mallets, a traditional Japanese ritual called kagami-wari, which symbolizes a new beginning, ensued.
The launch party, though, was overshadowed by the FAA announcement that it is undertaking a comprehensive review of critical systems of the Boeing's newest and most technologically advanced jetliner after a fire and a fuel leak earlier this week. The investigation will include the design, manufacture and assembly of those systems.
The aircraft is made with flexible and lighter high-strength fibers embedded in resin, enabling it to be 20 percent more fuel-efficient than other jetliners. But numerous glitches with the Dreamliner - some aviation analysts call them "teething" problems - have caused Boeing embarrassment.
On Monday, an electrical fire broke out on a Japan Airlines-operated 787 Dreamliner after landing in Boston; the next day, another JAL 787 aborted a flight departing from Boston after some 40 gallons of fuel spilled out onto the runway. And on Wednesday, ANA canceled a domestic Dreamliner flight because of a brake problem.
The string of problems caused some passengers on the San Jose-Tokyo flight to joke that they were bringing along electrical tool kits and fire extinguishers in case more problems arise. Guardino joked that he considered bringing along "a backpack with a parachute."
ANA, the launch carrier for the Dreamliner, took delivery of the first 787 in October 2011. Last fall, the Tokyo-based airline said it was ordering 11 more, which will eventually give it a Dreamliner fleet of 66.
ANA Chairman Ohashi, who greeted scores of reporters from Japan and the Bay Area with a bow, said the airline has not yet spoken with the FAA and would not have a comment regarding the agency's review of the aircraft. But, he added, "We are confident about the Dreamliner. We still believe this is a good aircraft. As the launch carrier (of the 787), we believe this is our destiny."
The executive recited a Japanese saying about life having ups and downs. Even if one goes down seven times, the airline and 787 will rise up the eighth time. But he acknowledged that it will be a "constant battle" to ensure the airplane's safety with "constant maintenance."
"We want passengers to feel safe about the airplane," Ohashi added.
Ohashi said the San Jose route is an important one for ANA. San Jose "is located in the center of Silicon Valley. Silicon Valley has a lot of IT companies, including Japanese ones." ANA hopes to tap those business travelers heading to Japan and elsewhere in Asia, he said.
Travelers on the sold-out flight appeared thrilled at the chance to cross the ocean on an airplane analysts believe will change the airline industry, much like Boeing's 747 did in the 1970s by opening up long-haul travel for the masses. The 787's efficiency and long-range capabilities could make direct international flights to smaller airports like San Jose profitable for airlines.
When the plane touched down about 9:25 a.m. - nearly an hour early - cheers erupted in the airport's new lounge, The Club, located near ANA's gate. Onlookers pressed up against the windows overlooking the airfield, clicking pictures with their cameras and smartphones.
Clearly, the airplane's celebrity-like status has not been damaged by the recent glitches - at least for those on hand for its big arrival Friday in San Jose.
"Welcome!" some said. Others simply let out, "Wow! Yeah!"
Robert Erickson, a tax adviser from Washington D.C., was the first to check-in before 8 a.m. He shrugged at the reports of 787 problems. "No passenger has been injured or killed on a 787," he said."
Erickson, who decided to take a vacation to Japan when he heard about the new 787 San Jose-Tokyo route, was already thinking about the thrill of riding on the Dreamliner across the ocean.
"I am looking forward to the experience of the larger windows, the fresher air," he said, referring to the aircrafts better humidity and less pressurized cabins. "It's supposed to be roomier. And I'm looking forward to seeing what ANA is like. It's a new experience."
"It's the state-of-art airplane," said Joseph Lee, who dropped off his wife Ai and their 15-month-old daughter Hana, who were headed to Japan to visit with family.
"I'm really excited," said Ai Lee, who said ANA is known for treating young children very well.
Passenger San Carlos resident Alan Tsuda, a consultant, said he was more excited that he can now catch a direct flight to Asia from San Jose International.
"It's a big deal for San Jose," he said. "It puts the 'international' in San Jose International. I like being able to leave out of San Jose. San Francisco (International) can be of daunting at times. There is a lot more traffic."
Securing the nonstop flight required a five-year effort by city officials and business leaders. It included a trip to Tokyo two years ago by Reed, Guardino and other officials to personally lobby ANA CEO Shinichiro Ito over tea. They promised airline officials they would strongly nudge the valley's global business community to use the new service, which can link passengers to cities across Asia. Also playing a role in attracting the airline was Mercury News Publisher Mac Tully, chairman of the group's CEO airport task force.
The stakes are high for San Jose International: Other Asian and European carriers, in much better financial condition than their American competitors, have indicated they are interested in launching a service to San Jose if the ANA route is a success, said Bill Sherry, San Jose International's director of aviation.
"We have been trying to get this for a very, very long time," Reed said. "It's a really big win. We have to make sure the planes fly full. That is our challenge."
The airport, saddled with $1.5 billion in debt from its major makeover a few years ago, has faced stiff headwinds trying increase air service - and revenue - as the economy slowly recovers from a deep recession and the U.S. airline industry, upended by consolidations and soaring fuel prices, cut services to mid-size airports like San Jose International.
City officials estimate the new San Jose-Tokyo route will generate $78 million in business for Silicon Valley and 61 jobs in San Jose during its first year of service.
"It's paid off," said Guardino, whose staff has been working with ANA officials on a daily basis for the last year, including connecting the airline with executives of about 80 companies in the valley.
What's most important, he added, is what happens long after Friday's sake and Shitake quiche celebration.
"If this is not a long-term success, it not only does not bode well for the service, but for all the other domestic and international flights for which we are advocating for. We are joined at the hip."

NEW BEDFORD, Mass. -- Two foreign nationals have been arrested on immigration violations in the Massachusetts town where police say the surviving Boston Marathon bombing suspect may have once lived.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Saturday that Homeland Security Investigations agents had arrested two people in New Bedford.
An ICE spokesman would not comment on the people who were arrested or if they are connected to bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (joh-KHAR' tsahr-NEYE'-ehv). The University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth student remains hospitalized after exchanging gunfire with police Friday.
ICE did not say whether they are suspected in any other crimes. A federal prosecutor's spokeswoman declined comment.
New Bedford police said federal authorities searched off-campus housing near the school Friday and took three people in for questioning. Police say Tsarnaev may have lived at the complex.

Eastman Kodak Company (the "Company") (OTB: EKDKQ.PK) announced today that, as a result of its ongoing strategic review process and commitment to drive sustainable profitability through its most valuable business lines, it plans to phase out its dedicated capture devices business – comprising digital cameras, pocket video cameras and digital picture frames – in the first half of 2012. Kodak will instead expand its current brand licensing program, and seek licensees in these categories. Following this decision, Kodak's Consumer Business will include online and retail-based photo printing, as well as desktop inkjet printing.
Kodak has contacted its retail partners, and is working closely with them to ensure an orderly transition. Kodak will continue to honor all related product warranties, and provide technical support and service for its cameras, pocket video cameras and digital picture frames.
"For some time, Kodak's strategy has been to improve margins in the capture device business by narrowing our participation in terms of product portfolio, geographies and retail outlets. Today's announcement is the logical extension of that process, given our analysis of the industry trends," said Pradeep Jotwani, President, Consumer Businesses, and Kodak Chief Marketing Officer.
Upon completion of the phase out, Kodak expects to achieve annual operating savings of more than $100 million. Kodak expects to incur a charge related to separation benefits of approximately $30 million resulting from the exit of the business.
In addition to its Consumer Businesses segment, Kodak has a Commercial Businesses segment that includes the Digital and Functional Printing, Enterprise Services and Solutions, and Graphics, Entertainment and Commercial Films units. Kodak's digital businesses now comprise approximately three-fourths of total revenues.
Kodak continues to have a strong position in the personal imaging market.

Biotechs Rule as IPO Market for Venture-Backed Companies is Best Since 2000
The IPO market for venture-backed companies is off to a much stronger start than last year, which didn't really get going until the second quarter.
There were 36 initial public offerings in the first three months of this year compared with eight a year ago, according to data from Thomson Reuters and the National Venture Capital Association. It was the strongest quarter for IPOs since the third quarter of 2000.
Biotechnology drove the IPO market, accounting for 24 of those 36 IPOs. It is the fourth consecutive quarter with double-digit life sciences IPOs, reflecting the recovery of a sector that many VCs had pulled back from.
Castlight Health Inc., a health-care software maker, was the largest IPO of the quarter, raising $204.2 million.
Mergers and acquisitions also saw an increase over a year ago year with 105 deals versus 86 in the first three months of 2013.
More significant was the increase in the disclosed value of deals, which hit $7.52 billion, up from $1.02 billion a year ago. There were 29 M&A transactions with value disclosed compared with 11 a year ago. The average value of this year's price-disclosed deals was $259.2 million.
Information technology dominated M&A activity with 79 deals. Within that sector computer software and services accounted for 37 deals.
Google Inc.'s purchase of smart thermostat maker Nest Labs Inc. for $3.2 billion was the largest M&A transaction of the quarter. Second was VMware Inc.'s $1.5 billion acquisition of AirWatch LLC, a seller of mobile management and security technology to enterprises.
The acquisitions included some big wins for venture capital investors, with five deals generating a value that was more than 10 times the venture investment. Another seven had a value that was four to 10 times the invested capital.
They weren't all winners, though. In 12 deals the amount paid was less than what the VCs put in.

You sit there in your comfort, you don't believe I'm real. But you cannot buy protection from the way that I feel!

My PC runs pretty good though for what it is. I just go to a friend's house, cause he's got all the latest games. Now I've just got to convince him to replace his Geforce 4 MX.

Researchers Wrestle with When to Make...
As Translational Medicine Data Become More...
Maximum Depth Sequencing Has the Potential...
Treatment of B-Cell Lymphomas with Monoclonal...
Protein Potential won three Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) NIH grants totalling $1.8 million to support the development of a malaria vaccine that protects against Plasmodium falciparum. The work is being undertaken in three stages. In the first the firm will work with Aduro to design a dual component vaccine that triggers antibodies and protective T cell responses against the parasite's asymptomatic liver stage, to prevent infection. The second phase of the program will see Protein Potential work with a team at the NIH's Laboratory of Malaria and Vector Research on a vaccine that triggers production of antibodies against multiple P. falciparum antigens to block the parasite from invading red blood cells. In the third phase of the program Protein Potential will generate recombinant protein-based vaccines against three different parasite life cycle stages to prevent infection of liver cells and transmission from mosquito to human.
"This triple punch at the parasite has not been explored before," states B. Kim Lee Sim, Ph.D., the firm's founder and president. "Our goal is to come up with a vaccine cocktail that the elusive malaria parasite will be unable to outsmart. This is a very exciting opportunity to exploit multiple parasite targets for immune protection. A vaccine that simultaneously elicits protective immune responses against multiple parasite proteins has the potential to finally achieve high-level protection against malaria."
Protein Potential is combining its expertise in protein expression, process development, and vaccine manufacturing to develop vaccines against P. falciparum and P. vivax malaria, SARS, dengue fever, anthrax, tularemia, and plague. Development of the P. vivax vaccine is being supported by a $3 million SBIR grant from NIH, which was awarded in April 2010. The firm's products and services operation provides recombinant proteins and plasmids to the industry, government, and academia.

Hi all,
I have recently been using PMS with my QNAP, and foolishly tried to tinker with the "friendly name" in the .JAR
I have since removed and reinstalled PMS on the QNAP, as well as resetting QNAP to factory settings (accidentally deleting all my movies/videos in the process *sigh*), but the playstation does not show/find PMS at all.
I have well and truly learnt my lesson to stop buggering around with things I know nothing about, HOWEVER would like to get things back to at least getting PMS to show up on my PS3. At present it simply doesn't recognize/find it at all.
Any help would be massively appreciated... log as follows
many thanks
