SANTA CLARA -- Arista Networks' elevated initial public offering price wasn't enough for Wall Street, which priced the company as one of Silicon Valley's most valuable networking companies Friday.
The 9-year-old equipment maker announced Thursday that it sold shares in its IPO for $43, higher than the $40 maximum it expected when originally announcing its proposed range, to bring in $225.8 million. However, when the stock reached the New York Stock Exchange floor Friday, the price immediately jumped to $58 and moved as high as $60 before closing at its lowest price of the day, $55, up 27.9 percent.
At its peak price from Friday, Arista's market valuation was $3.8 billion, outpacing more established networking companies such as Ubiquiti Networks and Riverbed Technology for the seventh-highest market cap in Silicon Valley's networking sector. Brocade Communications, a leader in selling the switching equipment for which Arista is known, stands at No. 6 with a value of roughly $4 billion.
Arista's switches brought faster speeds at smaller sizes to the networking market, offering high-end products that were first in demand only at specialty businesses such as high-speed equities trading, but now offer businesses such as Facebook and Yahoo faster network speeds necessary in a world of cloud computing and big data. The company racked up sales of $361.2 million in 2013, closer to rival Extreme Networks' $370 million and far short of Brocade's $2.2 billion, but the company's growth rate of 86 percent has investors and analysts thinking big.
Gabelli analyst Hendi Susanto released a note earlier this week predicting that Arista revenues would hit $1 billion by 2016 thanks to the fast-growing market for its technology.
"Arista is targeting the fastest growth segment within the data center switching market that is expected to double from $6 billion in 2013 to $12 billion in 2017," Susanto wrote, predicting that Arista would increase its market share from 6 percent to 10 percent despite Cisco Systems' goliath standing in its way.
The company was founded by Chief Technology Office Ken Duda with Silicon Valley stalwarts David Cheriton and Sun Microsystems co-founder Andy Bechtolsheim, a duo that had already sold startups to Cisco and Sun when they paired up to launch Arista.
The pair formally announced their involvement with Arista in a 2008 interview with the Mercury News, with Bechtolsheim predicting an IPO for the company that he said reminded him of the early days of Sun.
"When the economy comes back, we'll be well-positioned," he correctly predicted during the throes of the recession.
Bechtolsheim's partnership with Cheriton was not as fortunate, however: Another Cheriton startup, Menlo Park-based Optumsoft, sued Arista just ahead of its public IPO filing, claiming the rights to software used in the newly public company's offerings.
Cheriton resigned from the company's board in March and no longer has any formal affiliation with Arista, but is still the largest stakeholder with 22.3 percent of the company, according to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Unlike most Silicon Valley startups, Arista did not chase venture capital money, instead relying on its founders' vast wealth to back the company's beginnings, so the three co-founders and CEO Jayashree Ullal combine to hold more than 58 percent of the company's shares after the IPO.
It's easier to refuse venture funding when a company is producing its own profits, and Arista has done that for at least four years in a row, producing total net income since the beginning of 2010 of more than $100 million and continuing that pattern with a $12.3 million profit in the first quarter of this year.
Arista Networks sold all 5.25 million shares included in the IPO, and will use the proceeds to pay off more than $20 million in debt and for general corporate purposes. The company's underwriting banks -- Arista listed 17 bookrunners and co-managers of its IPO, nearly triple the six banks listed for the more complex upcoming IPO of Chinese Web commerce giant Alibaba -- have access to an additional cache of almost 800,000 shares.

A wonderful product! It is very sheer so you can easily control the amount of color. It goes on like a lipstick, but shows like a colored/tinted balm, not very high sheen like traditional glosses, but that's part of what I like about it. It is moisturizing, but I think as with any lipcolor it can at some point not be as moisturizing as a lip treatment, so I would suggest a light balm underneath. The smell in the tube is very appealing also and I'm not heavy on smells because I get migraines; even with the scent, its not one that lingers on your lips so that's an added benefit and you don't feel like a kid walking around with scented lips. The color I have is mouthwatering berry. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I would like them to add 1 additional color-something like a black berry/ black honey color that has a bit less red in it and possibly more of a plum or even brown to it, otherwise, this is an awesome and well worth the purchase product. I'm very well pleased with this and will purchase again in the future-all year round. This has become my new staple lip product.
Aug 25, 2011
This is my absolutely favorite lip gloss. It tastes delicious, and the color is just amazing. I have mouthwatering berry, and although it looks dark in the tube, it's a nice color on. So moisturizing!
Jun 1, 2012
Sheer and lightweight. My favorite thing about this product is it has no odor or flavor. If you want a little more color wear it over a lip liner. It's basically a gloss without the sticky feeling and the case is beautiful.
Nov 26, 2012
Very good product. Moisturizes very well. I accidentally bought a lighter color than I planned, but it is still great. Makes my lips feel moisturized and light. I highly recommend it. Hope even more colors will become available soon.
Oct 24, 2012
I love the color, and very nice fruit scent. I love it!
Nov 29, 2012
I have these in 2(dewy papaya) and 3(juicy grapefruit). I bought these two specifically because I wanted to make sure I like the textures since they are pretty sheer and clear. It was love at first swipe. I can't wait to get my hands on a few more (sheer colored one)!!
May 4, 2012
This sheer candy balm & the pure chromatic eyeshadows are my favorite! I absolutely adore, love, & worship this product. Love the way it feels & the color. I Long time wear, nourishing, smooth, great color payoff. I am naturally tan (constantly asked if I'm from India) & the fact that I can wear these colors & have look amazing is absolutely wonderful. BUY IT! I've been working for YSL for one month, & this is the lip product I love most.
Dec 2, 2011
I love this product!! It's so comfortable to wear and lasts a lot longer than most lipsticks/glosses of it's kind. Goes on so smooth, definitely hydrates and just feels wonderful.
Only problem is the limited amount of shades, YSL Please add more ASAP!!!!!
Aug 25, 2011
All I can say is YUUUUUUMMY! Its smells like candy! I love the packaging! Its very sheer almost like a balm but its so moisturizing!

Trust Google, Page Says at TED
Larry Page wants you to trust Google, and says the company is working hard to prove why.
In a conversation with Charlie Rose at Wednesday's TED conference, Google's CEO spoke about computer security, privacy, the vocal-cord paralysis that has hampered his ability to speak, and Google's efforts to help devices understand their users.
In what has become a Silicon Valley ritual, Page criticized electronic surveillance by U.S. intelligence agencies, based on leaks by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden.
"We need to know the parameters of what the government is doing and why," Page said. "The government has done itself a disservice. I'm sad that Google is in the position of protecting you from what the government is doing."
When it comes to individuals trying to shield themselves from private companies, however, Page said people shouldn't be "throwing the baby out with the bath water."
Page suggested sharing information with the "right" companies is important for technology to advance, and that Google is among those companies. "We spend a lot of time thinking about these issues," he said. "The main thing we need to do is provide (users) choice" and show them what data will be used.
Page then mentioned his voice condition. He said Google co-founder Sergey Brin had to convince him to discuss it openly, which connected him with thousands of people with the same condition.
"Wouldn't it be amazing if everyone's medical records were available anonymously to all medical researchers," he mused, arguing that such a step could save 100,000 lives a year. The Google CEO added that he worries that the privacy debate will mean online data may be tightly restricted in the same way medical records are now.
As to Google's technologies, Page showed off advances the company has made in artificial intelligence, in particular a computer program that was able to teach itself what a "cat" is by examining YouTube videos. Purchasing artificial-intelligence company Deep Mind Technologies will help advance that work, Page suggested, pointing to that company's advanced computer programs that learned to play Atari video games.
He also suggested the company has very big plans for Project Loon, the balloon-powered Internet project run out of its Google X lab: "We think we can build a worldwide mesh of these balloons."

I guess the repository isn't updated yet, anyone had any luck updating without it? Or maybe an update on when the repository will have the latest version?
I went to https://code.google.com/p/ps3mediaserver/downloads/list to try and download the newest version manually but it says for Ubuntu/Debian check the forums. I didn't see anywhere on the forums I could download an Ubuntu specific version, just more references to the package provided by happy-neko.
As far as I know I have my PPA set up properly, at least when I go apt-get install ps3mediaserver it attempts an update but aborts because I already have the "latest version" 1.6.
So, anyone had any luck?

Number of the Week: Don't Expect Too Big a Housing Boost
2.5%: Residential fixed investment's share of GDP in the third quarter of 2012.
An unexpectedly strong jump in December housing starts put a nice coda onto housing's upward run in 2012.
But while the latest numbers on starts–as well as sales and prices–suggest housing is firmly in recovery with more gains to come, the news doesn't herald a sudden jump in overall economic activity. Especially not with consumers turning more pessimistic.
The December 12.1% increase in starts to a more than four-year high of 954,000 may say more about the weather than the strength in the housing sector. December was one of the 10th warmest on record, according to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
What was more encouraging for the outlook was the uptrend in building permits. Even with the burst in starts at the end of 2012, the number of homes authorized but not yet started in December was 19.5% above the level of December 2011. Pent-up orders will lift homebuilding this year.
The problem is that the homebuilding sector isn't a large enough share of gross domestic product to move the growth needle. Even if residential construction, less than 3% of GDP, jumps 20% this year, the gain would add only between one-quarter to one-third percentage point to GDP growth.
Such a contribution wouldn't even be big enough to offset the drag coming from higher taxes. Economists at Goldman Sachs forecast the $200 billion in tax increases related to the "fiscal cliff" deal will reduce annualized growth in consumer spending by one percentage point in the first half of 2013.
The impact from smaller paychecks was evident in Friday's report on consumer sentiment for early January.
The sentiment index unexpectedly fell to a 13-month low of 71.3. And economists worry households could turn moodier, which risks a bigger slowdown in consumer spending.
"With the debt ceiling yet to be tackled and more political acrimony on the way, we suspect that confidence has room to deteriorate further," said economists at Jefferies.
Housing's recovery is most welcomed. But the sector doesn't have the heft to offset the drags from Washington.

- Dec 15:
- Raiders notebook: McGloin 'getting used to' being switched out for Pryor
- Alex Smith has big day in return to Bay Area
- Oakland Raiders defense looking for answers after blowout loss
- Kansas City Chiefs rout Oakland Raiders 56-31
- Oakland Raiders signing autographs at Sunday's game in exchange for toy donations
OAKLAND -- This would've been the perfect time for another one of those gutsy showings that have highlighted the losing Raiders' season. A near-win against a playoff-bound Kansas City team would've been satisfactory, especially one fueled by urgency and resolve. And discipline.
That's what Dennis Allen had been hanging his hat on. Sunday, he couldn't coax it out of his guys.
Instead, his Raiders were clumsy, perhaps more than the 56-31 final score indicates. For the second consecutive week, Oakland stumbled out of the gate and got behind big.
The Raiders temporarily mustered some resolve. But before it was over, even that rousing comeback was thwarted by their inability to get out of their own way.
Bad timing for a coach hanging on like Britney Spears' music career.
"We've got to play better," Allen said, "and I've got to do a better job of getting us ready to play."
Giving up a franchise-record 56 points and committing seven turnovers, to go with 10 penalties, isn't the kind of pride-on-the-line performance you'd hope to see from a team at home before a sellout crowd against a division rival.
Throw in the loss to the New York Jets a week earlier, and it's appearing as if Allen is becoming decreasingly capable of maximizing the talent on his roster. Kansas City didn't exactly play lights out. The Chiefs just took advantage of a Raiders squad that often looked confused and uninspired.
Jamaal Charles totaled 215 yards and five touchdowns on 16 total touches. But it wasn't only because he is a great back. He also was being pursued by a Raiders defense that jogged on the rare occasions it was within spitting distance of him. The cast of CSI would have a hard time finding a Raiders fingerprint on Charles.
Where was the exigency and hunger that once highlighted the Raiders' season? Where is the growth in focus and improved grasp of scheme? That's on the coaching staff.
Not exactly the statement Allen needed to make as owner Mark Davis ponders the trajectory of the franchise. Allen would've done well to coach his guys into an inspired performance. Like the showing on Thanksgiving Day in Dallas. Or the home loss to Tennessee the week before.
But Sunday's loss -- the fourth straight and sixth in the last seven games -- was another step in the wrong direction.
Allen might have revealed some of the desperation he feels with some of his decisions Sunday. Easily the most perplexing was the juggling of quarterbacks. Instead of giving Terrelle Pryor a random series, he randomly inserted Pryor in the middle of series. In the third quarter, he sat Matt McGloin mid-drive, right when he'd found a rhythm. He put the rookie back under center in time to throw a touchdown to cut the Chiefs' once-25-point lead to 35-31 with just under five minutes left in third quarter.
For a moment there, you thought the Raiders were headed for the signature win of the season. But Oakland responded by getting out of the way on a 71-yard catch-and-run from Charles for his fifth touchdown.
Then, after Taiwan Jones fumbled the ensuing kickoff, former 49ers quarterback Alex Smith ran off 28 yards in four plays to put the Raiders back down big.
McGloin then sealed the game with interceptions on consecutive drives.
"We made it difficult on ourselves," Raiders safety Charles Woodson said. "This is a game that's all about fundamentals, and when you don't carry out the fundamentals ... big plays happen, long runs happen. If you don't play good, sound football and take care of your responsibility, you can't get away from it."
At this point of the season, the Raiders should be losing because they are overmatched in the talent department. Not because of poor fundamentals. These past two games alone are almost enough to negate the positive strides Allen has crafted.
How do you not clamor for a defensive-stalwart of a head coach like Lovie Smith or Jack Del Rio after watching the Raiders defense get embarrassed repeatedly by a halfback screen? How do you not pine for Bill Cowher to come out of retirement and chin-check these young talents into disciplined football after witnessing four turnovers in the final 17 minutes of the game?
Stanford's David Shaw and Texas A&M's Kevin Sumlin look all the more shinier as prospects every game the Raiders struggle to get out of the gates or fail to play with some exigency.
"The question always should be is why aren't you executing," said running back Rashad Jennings, who after rushing for 91 yards and two touchdowns said the team is growing. "And that's what we've got to figure out. If you have the answer to that, you'll be a genius."
Or maybe next year's Raiders coach.

Managing risk in biopharmaceutical operations is of utmost importance for patient protection, ensuring that only the highest quality products are developed and distributed. A quality risk-management program systematically identifies and analyzes the risks associated with a product or process, mitigates those risks deemed unacceptable, and monitors the overall risk profile as conditions change. These programs facilitate more informed decision-making within a company regarding a product's quality and provide greater assurance to a company's stakeholders of the ability to deliver the highest quality product to patients. In this paper, the authors describe risk-assessment tools used in change control.
According to the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Q9 guidance, Quality Risk Management, all manufacturing processes carry certain, inherent risks (1). It is, therefore, essential that these risks are assessed and mitigated throughout the product lifecycle. Risk assessment is especially critical when changes are made to validated processes or systems to ensure the integrity of the product is preserved as the risk profile evolves. Not all risks pose a concern; it is important to distinguish between risks that are problematic and require mitigation efforts and those that do not. Thus, an effective risk assessment will ensure that maximal resources are directed towards products, equipment, and processes deemed high risk and minimal resources towards those deemed low risk.
Less-formal tools for managing change control
There are two primary goals in the assessment of risk when managing change: to assure that a company is not taking on additional risk by making the change, and to ensure the success and effectiveness of the change through the identification of risk mitigation activities to be implemented in parallel with the change. The risk tools selected to assess changes should also be simple enough to use in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and clearly communicate the scope and impact of the change to all stakeholders. CM and REM are two such tools.
Both the CM and REM have a foundation in critical parameters—that is, categories of attributes that are deemed critical to the proper functioning of a system and must be considered to fully characterize the implications of a given change. Critical parameters are system-specific and should capture such elements as critical quality attributes (CQAs), critical or key process parameters (CPPs/KPPs), critical aspects (CAs) of equipment, system capacity, process capability, raw materials, and product-contact materials. These critical parameters will serve as the input into the risk assessment process.

Just another spending spree
January 14, 2013
Are you spending twice as much as you did 10 years ago? Probably not; you'd either feel as if you'd struck it rich or your creditors would be forming a posse to come after you if you were....
Hey Mike Myer! If you republicans had paid for the two wars {instead of cutting taxes at the same time,} this wouldn't even be an issue. Be "responsible" for what you started!

Denver don't forget Mrs. Obummers vacations alone cost us taxpers $40,000,000 in the first 3 1/2 years since her Crowning. Her personal staff of 26 cost us taxpayers an additional $1,750,000.

The Republicans were given a surplus budget when President "W" Bush was appointed by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2000. First he lied his way into the Iraq war and then on to a war in Afghanistan, all on Uncle Sam's credit card. Then "W" dismantled Clinton's tax increase with a tax cut...especially for the rich and big corporations, again all on the credit card. Then "W" provided a drug program for seniors making it illegal for Uncle Sam to negotiate drug discounts from drug corporations (a sweetheart deal)adding hundreds of millions of dollars...all on the credit card. Now the USA spends more on national defense than the next 13 countries combined, including Russia, China, United Kingdom, France, Japan and Germany. Much money is wasted making defense contractors billions of dollars...Now the Republicans have the gull to act with righteous indignation regarding the national debt as if they have clean hands. Poppycock!!!

Frank Miller burst onto the comics scene in the early 1980s with his take on Daredevil. From there, he reinvented Batman in The Dark Knight Returns for a whole new audience, forming the basis for the movies that followed from the '80s through today. He went on to do amazing work on his own creations, Sin City, and 300, both also made into popular motion pictures. Miller continues to be a major force in comics and an outspoken protector of creator rights.

In Nebraska, the line of "wait until next week" for waterfowlers is becoming an often-made statement. Warm temperatures and decent water conditions to the north of the state have kept the majority of waterfowl away thus far. "The bulk of mallards and Canada geese have still not arrived," said Nebraska Game and Parks Commission waterfowl biologist Mark Vrtiska. "And I have not heard of anyone seeing a flock of snow geese yet."
There have been some advances to the migration, however. The cold front right before Nebraska's October 27 pheasant season opener started to push some ducks and geese into the state. "I know guys that started shooting redheads with that front," added Vrtiska, "and before they hadn't seen a single one. Plus, more white-fronts are showing up and being reported.
"Obviously at some point temperatures will drop to push birds, but it may be later than normal."
After looking at the upcoming weekend's forecast for the Dakotas, maybe the "later" Vrtiska is talking about can come a bit sooner than expected. Plus, this front will only last for a few days before it warms up again. Long enough to bring birds down, and short enough to keep them around for a little while.
For hunters before or after the front, water remains key. "If there is water in the path of a duck going south," said longtime Nebraska waterfowl hunter Doug Steinke, "then ducks are stopping. For example, our hunting group near Grand Island began pumping water into a small 5-acre wetland we hunt, and within 4 days we had 2,000 ducks on it.
"Another person close to us, with only a ½ acre wetland, starting pumping and had 300 ducks in less than three days," added Steinke. "So if you can find water, or create water, you'll kill birds."

Marketplace: Teen Nightclubs
Ask your average teenager where they can hang out on the weekends and most will tell you there aren't many options. The movies, the mall and someone's house just about sum it up. So an intrepid entrepreneur in Los Angeles is looking to cash in on this underdeveloped market, by opening up a string of clubs for the under-21 club.
Advertising, Entrepreneur, Entrepreneurship, Markets
- Identify effective marketing and promotional methods.
- Describe factors that affect a business's success rates.
- Understand that market prices are determined through the interaction of buyers and sellers.
Ask teenagers where they can hang out on the weekends and most will tell you there aren't many options. The movies, the mall, and someone's house just about sum it up. So an intrepid entrepreneur in Los Angeles is looking to cash in on this underdeveloped market by opening up a string of clubs for the under-21 club. Trang Ho has the story. See the marketplace audio segment for more information.
One factor that influences the success of a new business is its capacity to attract customers from an under-served market. In this lesson, students analyze the success of a nightclub for teens by reference to this factor and others.
[Note to teacher: The following link requires RealPlayer www.real.com/dmm/realplayer/search .]
Marketplace- News Archives (Thursday, May 9, 2002): This website offers an audio file about 'Teen Nightclubs' (play from 14:40 through 18:30).
Teen Nightclub Note-Taker: This interactive activity will guide students as they take notes on the Marketplace audio segment.
Teen Nightclubs Note-Taker
UCM Museum: Private Party Policy for renting the UCM Museum for a private party event.
Activity 1
Assign the students to listen to the Marketplace audio file about Teen Nightclubs
(or read the printed transcript of it.) Play from 14:40 through 18:30. As they listen to the audio file, the students should complete an outline of important information contained in the story. Then they will use their outlines to answer factual and evaluative questions about economic concepts addressed within the story.
While the students are listening, they will use the Note-Taker to find supporting details concerning the following three factors as they relate to the success of Club One-Seven:
- Marketing and Promotional Strategies
- Income Potential for the Nightclub
- Nightclub Manager's Concern for Safety of the Guests
As the students listen, they also will record words that are unfamiliar to them and words that denote important economic concepts. Then they should listen to the audio file again to gather additional supporting details and possible definitions of the vocabulary words, using context clues. These details and definitions will also be recorded in the Note-Taker.
Finally, the students will be asked a series of questions related to the story. The following questions are found at the end of the Note-taker interactivity:
1. What were some of the marketing strategies used by the Club One-Seven?
a. Radio, television, magazine advertisements
b. Television, billboards, paying teens to spread the word
c. Magazine, radio, paying teens to spread the word [correct answer]
d. School newspapers, magazines, television
2. Do you think these are effective strategies for marketing to teens? Are these traditional or innovative strategies? In addition to marketing strategies, what other factors contribute to the success of Club One-Seven?
3. How does Club One-Seven make money?
a. It charges customers a $20 cover charge. [correct answer]
b. It charges annual membership fees.
c. It sells advertising space on the walls.
d. All of the above.
4. What factors contributed to the decision to charge customers a $20 cover charge? What do you think would happen if the club raised the cover charge to $30?
5. How does Club One-Seven address safety and security?
a. No drugs or alcohol are allowed.
b. No weapons are allowed.
c. No smoking is allowed.
d. All of the above. [correct answer]
6. How do you think these safety and security rules will affect attendance? What additional rules do you think will help increase attendance?
Activity 2:
Visit the UCM Museum web site for information regarding renting a room for private parties.
You have just been hired by the manager of the museum to encourage the organizers of high school proms to use the building for their proms. Develop a marketing campaign to target schools within a two-hour radius of the UCM Museum. Consider the following:
What 'traditional' marketing strategies might work when targeting teenagers? [Running commercials on top-40 radio stations, printing discount coupons on the entertainment page of the Friday night newspaper, etc. might work when targeting teenagers.]
What 'innovative' marketing strategies can you think of that might be more effective when targeting teenagers? [Answers will vary]
Since teenagers are an 'under served market,' how might that affect your campaign? [Students can emphasize the point that there are few entertainment facilities created specifically for teenagers]
Is there anyone else you need to consider (other than the teens at the school) who might influence a school's decision? [Other than the teens at the school, parents, teachers, and administrators need to be considered.]
- How will your campaign address those additional people? [Students can focus on the safety record of Club One-Seven]
Evaluation 1: Collect the students' Note-Taker Activity responses. Check to be sure that the students have referred to the key concepts discussed during the activity.
Evaluation 2: Collect a copy of students' answers for Activity 2. Look for thoroughness and supporting information in their answers.
Evaluation 3: Have the students present their ideas from Activity 2 to the class. Have them work in groups to discuss similarities and differences among and between the ideas.
By the conclusion of this lesson, the students should be able to identify at least three main factors in the success of the UCM Museum and Club One-Seven.
Activity 1
Various factors contribute to the success of Club One-Seven. Examine how other companies appeal to their buyers. Students will complete "Marketplace: Corporate Leap Frog" to further explore concepts of advertising, competition, and price.
Activity 2
Students will examine the basic concepts of business competition and the roles of buyers and sellers. They will complete "Marketplace: What Is Competition?"
Activity 3
Part of Club One Seven's success is the fact that it is serving an underdeveloped market. Create a business that will provide competition to Club One Seven by serving the same market.
Be the first to review this lesson!

FILE - In this Friday, Dec. 14, 2012 file photo, parents leave a staging area after being reunited with their children following a shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., where Adam Lanza opened fatally shot 27 people, including 20 children. People figure there surely were signs of impending violence. But experts say predicting who will be the next mass shooter is virtually impossible _ partly because as commonplace as these calamities seem, they are relatively rare crimes. Still, a combination of risk factors in troubled kids or adults including drug use and easy access to guns can increase the likelihood of violence, experts say. (AP Photo/Jessica Hill, File)
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- The union that represents police officers in Newtown, Conn., is pushing to make more help available for those who responded to the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Attorney Eric Brown with AFSCME Council 15 says a handful of officers have been affected so severely by what they saw that they are not working. He says they have to use sick time and could soon be at risk of going without a paycheck.
Brown said Wednesday that the town and the union are asking the town's insurer to provide more assistance. The union is also reaching out to the governor's office and the legislature, where one Connecticut lawmaker says it will consider changes in state policy.
A gunman massacred 20 children and six adults at the school on Dec. 14.

Syrian Electronic Army: A Brief Look at What Businesses Need to Know
The Syrian Electronic Army attacked again this week, compromising the websites of the New York Times, Twitter, the Huffington Post and others.
Political hacking isn't new. Hackers were breaking into systems for political reasons long before commerce and criminals discovered the Internet. Over the years, we've seen U.K. vs. Ireland, Israel vs. Arab states, Russia vs. its former Soviet republics, India vs. Pakistan and U.S. vs. China.
There was a big one in 2007, when the government of Estonia was attacked in cyberspace following a diplomatic incident with Russia. It was hyped as the first cyberwar, but the Kremlin denied any Russian government involvement. The only individuals positively identified were young ethnic Russians living in Estonia.
Poke at any of these international incidents, and what you find are kids playing politics. The Syrian Electronic Army doesn't seem to be an actual army. We don't even know if they're Syrian. And — to be fair — I don't know their ages. Looking at the details of their attacks, it's pretty clear they didn't target the New York Times and others directly. They reportedly hacked into an Australian domain name registrar called Melbourne IT, and used that access to disrupt service at a bunch of big-name sites.
We saw this same tactic last year from Anonymous: hack around at random, then retcon a political reason why the sites they successfully broke into deserved it. It makes them look a lot more skilled than they actually are.
This isn't to say that cyberattacks by governments aren't an issue, or that cyberwar is something to be ignored. Attacks from China reportedly are a mix of government-executed military attacks, government-sponsored independent attackers, and random hacking groups that work with tacit government approval. The US also engages in active cyberattacks around the world. Together with Israel, the U.S. employed a sophisticated computer virus (Stuxnet) to attack Iran in 2010.
For the typical company, defending against these attacks doesn't require anything different than what you've been traditionally been doing to secure yourself in cyberspace. If your network is secure, you're secure against amateur geopoliticians who just want to help their side.

Cardiff – The UK's Greatest Concentration Of World-Leading Planning Researchers
Cardiff School of City and Regional Planning (CPLAN) has been independently rated the Top UK Planning School for research for over twenty years. In the latest RAE (Research Assessment Exercise) it tops the league again - on the most meaningful indicator: Research Power. Cardiff is by far the biggest planning school in the UK, with 42 active researchers. Its research environment has been judged to be outstanding. Over 90% of its research activity is recognised internationally in terms of originality, significance and rigour. It has by far the largest critical mass of leading international researchers in its field: 25 researchers are judged to be operating at an internationally excellent level, with 10 of these producing work that is world-leading in terms of originality, significance and rigour. No other UK planning school comes close to having this concentration of world-leading and internationally excellent quality. For this reason, the authoritative publication, Research Fortnight, ranks Cardiff as the Planning School with the greatest Research Power. It has also computed the total Research Power in the UK planning academy, ranked each school's market share and expressed the market share of our competitors as a fraction of Cardiff's (as market leader).
Strictly speaking (because of the way research output is measured), it is the equivalent of 25 researchers. Four outputs were submitted per member of staff. 60% of research outputs were judged internationally excellent. This means that an equivalent of 25 staff (60% of 42) are operating at this level. Actually, more than 25 staff are operating to some degree at an internationally excellent level.
Market share takes account of quality as well as quantity.

This article appeared in our Spring 2013 Update publication.
With an increase in conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and peripheral artery disease, more and more people are suffering from wounds that don't heal well.
Gifford podiatrists and general surgery staff already offer help with wound care, but now Gifford is launching a special mobile wound care clinic for the convenience of patients.
Registered nurse Jan Giles is leading the effort. She is specially certified in both wound care and diabetic wound care. Jan is now seeing patients in Gifford's general surgery office and at all Gifford health centers for the convenience of patients.
Jan's wound care help includes monitoring wounds, applying dressings, utilizing compression as appropriate, referring patients to a health care provider for additional care, and working with home health care agencies to coordinate proper wound care at home.
"This is what I've wanted to do for years," says Jan. "I think it's an art and a science, and I really enjoy the challenge of it."
Diabetic foot ulcers and venous stasis ulcers are the most common chronic wounds. Wounds can also occur following an injury or surgery.
A key to wound healing success is seeking treatment early, Jan notes.
To schedule an appointment with Jan in the wound care clinic, call 728-2777.

California Boosts RPS to One-Third Renewables by 2020
A new California law requiring public utilities to get one-third of their electricity from renewable energy in less than a decade took effect on April 13. Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr. signed the legislation, which increases California's current 20% renewables portfolio standard (RPS) target in 2010 to a 33% RPS by December 31, 2020. This makes it the highest such standard in the United States.
Brown said the measure would stimulate new jobs, improve air quality, promote energy independence, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. He also indicated that with further renewable resources coming online, he could envision a 40% RPS in the future. See the governor's press release and the text of the bill.

I tried to design an ellipse with QCAD Tools - but I stuck .... maybe someone has an easy solution for me
Case: Imagine a model wall build with round dowels - like a Blockhouse,
Now I have to cut the top round dowels under 30° to get a gable shape,
In an isometric this cut has to appear like an ellipse on both sides,
Right side was easy to do with QCAD - maybe not absolutely correct but good enough
Left side .... a disaster I have no idea how I can make it correct looking
A square dowel shape is used as the construction base in the isometric.
I know how to design a correct ellipse step by step - that is not what I'm looking for! I'm looking for a fast and "just good enough looking" solution in QCAD!
Any Ideas?

Liberal Alec Baldin and Liberal Media Elite Praise Sarah Palin
Sarah Palin continues to get praise for her performance on Saturday Night Live.
Reuters is reporting that Liberal, Democratic Actor Alec Baldwin is coming to the defense of Palin and SNL. And the New York media is fawning over her performance.
Baldwin wrote a blog for the Huffington Post.
About Palin he wrote, "Palin came on to be a good sport. And she was. She was polite, gracious. (More so than some of the famous actors who come through there, believe me.)"
And about those who criticized Saturday Night Live for having her on, claiming it would influence the election, he wrote, "You're kidding, right? The woman is the Vice Presidential nominee of one of the two major parties in this country. Don't put her on SNL? With all of her exposure and the Tina Fey performance? What reality are you in?"
And even the left-leaning New York Times had nice things to say about Palin on SNL.
Ms. Palin's delightful performance on Saturday stood out from the efforts of other politicians who have made fun of themselves on the NBC late-night comedy show," wrote Alessandra Stanley in a New York Times column called The TV Watch.
In the Saturday Night Live skit, Baldwin looks at Palin and says, "You're way hotter in person." That must be true.
If Sarah Palin can charm Alex Baldwin and The New York Times into saying nice things, she can charm anybody.
ABC News did a strange column on the SNL appearance, where two writers ask the question, "Did Palin's SNL Stint Mak Any Difference?" and then never answer the question in four pages of copy.
But the article did alert me that the great Sara Benincasa (our second favorite Palin impersonator) posted a post-SNL Sarah Palin video blog. Enjoy -

Just goes to show you that the left can respect and praise a person from the other side of the aisle while still disagreeing with them and not voting for them. It is a shame that the right cannot manage to do the same but in their make believe world of black and white, for or against, friend or enemy they do nothing but divide and argue and belittle.

About the Book
The Secret of the Nightingale Palace by Dana Sachs is the poignant story of an estranged grandmother and granddaughter and a secret that ties them together.
After her husband dies from leukemia, Anna agrees to help hard-to-please Goldie to bring a collection of valuable Japanese art from New York to California. Harboring a decades-old secret that could change Anna's life forever, Goldie must learn to let go of her past so her granddaughter can move on and discover happiness and love.
With a narrative that alternates between early 1940s San Francisco and the present day, The Secret of the Nightingale Palace is a beautiful story about the enduring power of love and family.
Struggling to move on after her husband's death, thirty-five-year-old Anna receives an unexpected phone call from her estranged grandmother, Goldie, summoning her to New York. A demanding woman with a sharp tongue and a devotion to fashion and etiquette, Goldie has not softened in the five years since she and her granddaughter last spoke. Now she wants Anna to drive her to San Francisco to return a collection of exquisite Japanese art to a long-lost friend.
Hours of sitting behind the wheel of Goldie's Rolls-Royce soften Anna's attitude toward her grandmother, and as the miles pass, old hurts begin to heal. Yet no matter how close they become, Goldie harbors painful secrets about her youthful days in 1940s San Francisco that she cannot share. But if she truly wants to help her granddaughter find happiness again, she must eventually confront the truths of her life.
Moving back and forth across time and told in the voices of both Anna and Goldie, The Secret of the Nightingale Palace is a searing portrait of family, betrayal, sacrifice, and forgiveness—and a testament to the enduring power of love.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"This is Dana Sachs's best yet. THE SECRET OF THE NIGHTINGALE PALACE is a charming story, beautifully told. Her prose puts one in mind of the Japanese prints she writes about: colorful, spare, and evocative." — George Bishop, author of Letter to My Daughter
"Dana Sachs's beautifully written novel, The Secret of the Nightingale Palace, is so pitch perfect that you'll be sad when it's over. A gifted storyteller, Sachs has created a multi-generational page-turner that will keep you reading late into the night. Brilliant!" — Celia Rivenbark, author of You Don't Sweat Much for a Fat Girl
"Sachs' latest is so beautiful in every aspect that readers will have difficulty pinpointing the best parts. Rich in San Francisco history with brilliant characters you'll warm up to, the two different storylines will enrapture you as well....Elegant and tasteful, this novel is not to be missed." — RT Book Reviews (top pick)
"As with most well-crafted literary journeys, it's not really about the destination, but this onedoes feature a sweetly surprising, cinematically styled twist at the end of the road. An idealrecommendation for the book-club set." — Booklist
"[A] satisfying story...Goldie's lesson to her granddaughter becomes obvious: we must move past our losses to "make out own parties." I won't give away the twist at the end but will say every time I think of teh way Goldie made her own party, I smile." — Historical Novels Review
"[A] graceful exploration of the human heart. With her signature elegance, she examines the burden of family secrets and how the complexities of culture can both divide and unite at the same time... this hypnotic, satisfying novel will linger in your thoughts long after you finish the last page." — Kim Fay, author of The Map of Lost Memories
"Old-fashioned in the best of ways, this story of a grandmother and granddaughter-revisiting the past in order to chart the future-has all the romantic elegance of the '62 Silver Cloud in which they zoom across the country." — Michael Lowenthal, author of The Paternity Test and Charity Girl
"Sachs takes us from fury to laughter and loss to healing as the true value of a Japanese treasure is finally revealed." — Pamela Schoenewaldt, author of WHEN WE WERE STRANGERS

The movie by Wong Kar-wai is running out of competition because the director also heads this year's jury.
Shanghai-born Wong and his fellow jurors—among them American actor-director Tim Robbins—will have to choose from 19 movies competing for prizes at the 63rd Berlinale.
These include the Steven Soderbergh thriller "Side Effects" with Jude Law and Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Gus Van Sant's film "Promised Land" about the shale gas industry starring Matt Damon.
Juliette Binoche portrays a troubled French sculptor in "Camille Claudel 1915," while "Gold" tells a tale of German immigrants seeking their luck in late 19th-century North America.
Competing also are romantic thriller "The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman" with Shia LaBeouf and Evan Rachel Wood, and "Closed Curtain" by Iranian film maker Jafar Panahi, who was barred from leaving Iran to attend the festival.
The winner of one award has already been announced. French filmmaker Claude Lanzmann will be honored for his life's work. Lanzmann's nine-and-a-half hour documentary "Shoah" about the horrors of the genocide of European Jews was screened at the festival in 1986.
In total more than 400 films will be shown at the Feb.
Jury president Wong said ahead of the festival that Berlin was about the "experience of a true pleasure of sharing ideas" in the cinema.
Speaking Thursday about his own work, Wong told reporters that the biggest challenge while making "The Grandmaster" was the fact that he doesn't practice martial arts himself.
Wong said he was nevertheless drawn to the figure of Yip Man, Bruce Lee's mentor, because of his fortitude in the face of a lifetime of hardship, beginning with his childhood in Imperial China through the revolutionary years and ending in Hong Kong under British colonial rule.
"His life basically is like the modern history of the early days of our republic," said Wong. "During all these periods you can see how a martial artist stands up for his principles and his honor in front of all this hardship"
The international cut of "The Grandmaster" premiering in Berlin has been shortened from the version released in China last year. The film stars Tony Leung ("In the Mood for Love") and Zhang Ziyi, best known internationally for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

April is Organ Donor Month; doctors say an average of 68 organ transplants are performed every day and if you become an organ donor, you can save up to 75 lives.
Wife and mother of 5, Gail Brown, says had it not have been for an organ donor, she most likely wouldn't be with us today.
Gail developed severe scar tissue in both of her lungs. With her lung function at only 18%, she relied heavily on oxygen tanks.
"I know for a fact my disease was declining so fast, that I would not have been here to share this last Christmas with my family," said Brown.
Gail got approved to be placed on the organ donor list in Salt Lake City and two weeks later, doctors found a match for Gail. She says that donation is something she's thankful for every day.
"You can't thank them for losing a loved one, but I do thank them whole-heartedly every day for making the decision they made in what had to be the hardest time of their lives."
And Gail's children are thankful, too. Her daughter started an online blog about her mother's journey and hopes it will inspire others to think about becoming a donor.
"To have somebody be able to give such a big thing, that's huge, to save their life," said Kim Johnson, Gail's daughter. "I don't think anybody could ever understand, unless you're in the situation."
But Gail says it's not about her story. It's about the hundreds of Idahoans waiting for donors and it's something local doctors and hospitals feel the strain of, too.
"In Idaho, there's around 400 people waiting for an organ and around 25-30 of those are children," said Greg Trosper with Intermountain Donor Services. "So there's a huge need for it."
It's easy to become an organ donor when you renew your driver's license.
The Department of Motor Vehicles in Idaho Falls says most people renewing their driver's license say yes to becoming an organ donor.
Almost anyone can be a donor, regardless of age or medical history.

Time is all but up for Airship Ventures, and my heart is sinking like a lead zeppelin.
I've bonded with the company's blimp-like flying machine in the four-plus years that it's been silently drifting above Silicon Valley. Ironically, the airborne attraction seemed the perfect landmark for this place, which is sorely lacking in terrestrial, postcard-worthy icons. Like the valley, the German-made zeppelin was creative, innovative, somewhat outlandish. It required a leap of faith, though hopefully not literally. And it required a good deal of optimism to launch in the first place.
Of course, we learned this month that that optimism was slightly misplaced as Airship Ventures founders Alex and Brian Hall announced that they were grounding their 246-foot-long zeppelin for financial reasons.
"Everyone was kind of in tears," Alex said of the day the husband-and-wife team told the company's 45 full- and part-time workers that the airship they call Eureka would not be flying until further notice. "But there was also a recognition that although this was extremely sad and personally devastating for everybody, the last five years were absolutely filled with memories and joy and great things."
I first talked to the Halls five years ago as they were preparing to buy the brand-new zeppelin. Their idea was to provide sightseeing trips that ran about $375 for 45 minutes and to sell advertising on the side of the zeppelin. The proposition seemed a little kooky, frankly. But Brian told me about how he'd been fascinated by aviation history since he was a kid. For her part, Alex explained that she grew up in England near two huge airship hangars. It was clear that they understood the odds, but they were pursuing a passion.
A passion isn't easy to give up, and sure enough, the Halls' grounding announcement came with something of a desperate plea: If some well-heeled company could step forward and sponsor the zeppelin in return for painting the company logo and colors on it, the sky could again be the limit.
The Halls figured they'd need a savior to step up by the end of this week. Otherwise, Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik, the company that built the airship, will come to gather up the ship that the Halls have been leasing. To prepare the airship for moving day, crews will drain it of helium and it will collapse like the business it once anchored.
"Eureka will be dismantled and shipped back to Germany," Alex told me. "It will be very hard to say our last goodbye."
It will be hard for a lot of people. Fans took to Twitter (#saveeureka) and Facebook to share ideas to save the zeppelin. Some even used Airship Ventures' Facebook page to post renderings of the airship painted with the corporate logos -- Red Bull, Amazon, Apple (AAPL), Canon, Virgin America -- of the companies that might save it.
In that spirit and out of a bit of desperation of my own, I'd like to suggest a few logical Silicon Valley saviors. It's hard to deny that there aren't some synergies here.
Google (GOOG): This is the most obvious choice. I'm mean, the company's whole business is in the cloud, just like Eureka. Google's instantly recognizable red, yellow, green and blue color scheme would easily be spotted from the ground. Google Guys Sergey Brin and Larry Page have expressed great fascination with outer space and things that fly and they park their planes in a hangar practically next door to Eureka's parking spot at Moffett Field.
Oh, and one more thing: Remember that June stunt in which sky divers landed on Moscone Center to deliver a pair of Google glasses to Brin as part of a Google developers conference? What did the sky divers jump from? Yep, Eureka.
Hewlett-Packard (HPQ): OK, not as obvious, especially given the company's rocky financial performance of late. (Who would have thought that former gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman could find an organization more screwed up than California to run?) Face it, it's hard to think of a better symbol for HP than an airship directly descended from the Hindenburg. Talk about disaster: HP has written down nearly $19 billion in bad deals in the past five years. The company goes through CEOs the way Taylor Swift goes through crushes. And it's in the process of laying off 29,000 workers. Oh, the humanity!
Oh, and one more thing: HP could forgo a sponsorship and decide instead to just buy the Eureka. That way the company could point to one acquisition that it was actually able to get off the ground.
Intel (INTC): Maybe the least obvious. But think about it. The company's board was recently blindsided by CEO Paul Otellini's announcement that he's retiring in May, a few years early. No doubt a high-flying zeppelin might provide the board a better vantage point in the future. More than that, among Eureka's claims to fame is its research work with SETI, or the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. With Intel struggling to keep its footing in a world where it makes chips for laptops and desktops and consumers actually use tablets and smartphones, Intel will be looking for someone with out-of-this-world intelligence to replace Otellini.
Oh, and one more thing: Given Intel's need to establish itself as a powerhouse in a mobile world, aligning itself with Eureka couldn't hurt. What says "mobile" better than an untethered zeppelin gliding gracefully across the Silicon Valley sky?

- San Jose Sharks get results from Raffi Torres, Tomas Hertl in lineup

- San Jose Sharks-Los Angeles Kings lineups
- San Jose Sharks and Los Angeles Kings not the friendliest rivalry
SAN JOSE -- One of the Sharks' most physical players will be back in the lineup for what's expected to be a bruising first-round series as forward Raffi Torres will play Thursday at home against the Los Angeles Kings in Game 1 of the Western Conference quarterfinals.
Torres, who missed the last 17 games of the regular season as San Jose's coaches and medical staff sought to get him back close to 100 percent, skated on the Sharks' fourth line with Andrew Desjardins and Marty Havlat on Thursday morning.
Torres said he took it day-by-day for the last few weeks of the regular season as he tried to get his body back to where he felt he could play his normal physical style.
The Sharks' training staff "has done a great job getting me to where I am today," Torres said. "Just looking forward to getting out there."
Torres missed all but five games in the regular season after he had surgery in September to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament. He returned after the Olympic break and played in five of six games before he missed the rest of the regular season. Torres had three goals and two assists in his five games.
"I felt great," at the time, Torres said about his Feb. 27 return to San Jose's lineup. "Some people might say that it might have been a little too soon, but at the end of the day, I was coming off the break and was comfortable and feeling good, so there was really no reason not to play."
Torres has played in 61 playoff games in his career with 25 points and 62 penalty minutes. He played in the first game of the Western Conference semifinals against the Kings last season, but was suspended by the NHL for the final six games of the series for a hit on Jarret Stoll.
"He's one of those players that can turn a game not necessarily with scoring a goal, but obviously a big hit," Sharks defenseman Dan Boyle said. "He plays with an edge that a lot of players don't. We were unfortunate to lose him last year because of the suspension. He should hopefully bring a spark to this team. It's something we can use."
Torres helped the Sharks sweep the Vancouver Canucks in the first round of the playoffs last year, but his physical presence was missed as San Jose lost to the Kings in seven games.
"We were playing with some energy, we were playing with a strong forecheck game -- which he can be the leader of, never mind just a big part of, he can be the leader of that -- that comes out of the lineup, it affects our group and it probably affects the way (the Kings) think as well," McLellan said. "The same can be said as Jarret Still didn't return for a little while, either. The games were still fairly even."
With Torres' return, forwards Mike Brown, Bracken Kearns and Tyler Kennedy would appear to be healthy scratches. Defenseman Scott Hannan is also back in the lineup tonight, as he was paired with Boyle during the morning skate.
Forward Tomas Hertl, who returned to the lineup last Friday after a nearly four-month absence as he recovered from surgery to repair two ligaments in his right knee, skated on the third line Thursday morning with James Sheppard and Tommy Wingels. Rookie Matt Nieto was on the second line with Logan Couture and Patrick Marleau.
With Torres and Hertl back, McLellan has more options for the third and fourth line than he did for the series against the Kings last year.
With Torres and Hertl, "there's some risk because of their time off and their lack of playing time down the stretch," McLellan said. "but that's a risk we're prepared to take."

SANTA CLARA -- L is for losers, as the kids might say on an NFL playground.
Instead of sticking with its Roman numeral theme, the NFL unveiled logos Wednesday for "Super Bowl 50," to be held at Levi's Stadium on Feb. 7, 2016.
The numerical reprieve has been granted solely for that year's title tilt, which would otherwise be known as Super Bowl L to NFL purists.
Roman numerals will return from its year hiatus for Super Bowl LI in 2017 at Houston's Reliant Stadium. The league officially began using Roman numerals in 1971 for Super Bowl V, a Baltimore Colts' victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Lamar Hunt, the late Kansas City Chiefs owner, is credited with introducing Roman numerals as well as the Super Bowl's name.
Two logos for Super Bowl 50 were unveiled by the league, with the national logo simply featuring an oversized Lombardi Trophy placed between the gold-colored numerals "5" and "0". In the regional edition, the trophy rises out of Levi's Stadium's northwest corner while San Francisco landmarks are reflected in the "50" background. The landmarks: Transamerica Pyramid, Golden Gate Bridge, Ferry Building, Coit Tower, Mandarin Oriental Hotel and Muir Woods redwood trees.
This season's championship game, Super Bowl XLIX, will be held Feb. 1, 2015 at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.

Changelog is on the blog: http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/
my only complaint is that on my iMac (2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM), it can slow down SEVERELY if you make a lot of edits using the tools. but I love the way it keeps track of edits. while it does some things better than photoshop, it's not a replacement, but rather a compliment.
A lot of improvements over Lightroom 2 already and a lot quicker too.
Nice editing tools, and I love the catalog system. Non-destructive editing FTW!
This program is the best program I have used for raw image adjustments, keywording, and cataloging of my photos. It leaves the original file untouched and saves all adjustments in tiny little sidecar files. Only on image export is the adjustments committed to a jpg file. Add in some of Jeffrey Friedl's excellent (donationware) plug-ins and you have a very handy all-in-one image management system.
