3 New Questions for Diamond Foods now that the SEC Probe is formal 3 commentsDec 15, 2011 12:06 PM | about stocks: DMND
In an 8-K filed this morning, Diamond Foods (DMND) disclosed that it received a formal order of investigation from the SEC. To our view, this is not a good development for DMND, as it appears to be an escalation of the situation.
An SEC investigation moving from informal to formal allows the SEC to issue subpoenas. In general, this is only done when some entity in the mix is failing to voluntarily provide SEC investigators with the information, records, or testimony deemed necessary to conducting their investigation.
With this in mind, we have 3 questions DMND investors need answered.
- What people or entities received the subpoenas?
- What information, records, or testimony do the subpoenas seek?
- In the 8-K, DMND stated that it "intends to cooperate fully with the SEC." How does cooperating fully with the SEC reconcile with the SEC's decision to move the investigation to formal status and issue subpoenas?

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- A Jefferson County jury is deliberating today whether Anthony Dewayne Johnson intentionally killed his estranged wife in 2010 when he stabbed her in the back with enough force to break the butcher knife blade off in her body.
The defendant told jurors in a Birmingham courtroom this week the fatal fight started when Sherry Johnson, 39, got mad after he woke her up trying to entice her into sex after he had been watching pornography.
Johnson, 42, testified that his wife of 16 years first brandished the knife at him, and he feared for his life before he grabbed the knife and turned it on her.
But prosecutors called it an intentional killing, the culmination of years of domestic violence that included convictions against the defendant in 2002 and 2003.
The couple was separated at the time, but still living in the house in Pinson that the victim had bought months before, the defendant testified Tuesday. She slept on the couch and he stayed in the master bedroom, Johnson testified.
The couple, who had three children, argued frequently. Toward the end, the fights mostly were about money and his long-term unemployment, the defendant testified.
Sherry Johnson told friends in late 2010 that her husband had threatened to kill her. She made the same allegation in a 911 call she made a month before her death, which was played for the jury.
One friend testified that she heard Sherry Johnson tell her husband to move out after the Christmas holiday, and him respond "divorce is not an option."
The night of Dec. 2, 2010, the defendant was watching video pornography, "when I decided to get my wife and bring her to the bedroom," he testified.
Sherry Johnson got angry and continuously cursed at the defendant as he led her down the hall to the bedroom, he testified.
"I didn't see any harm in continuing on in trying to get her to have sex," Johnson told jurors.
But she kept calling him "low-down dirty" and saying she couldn't wait for their relationship to end, Johnson testified.
"I kinda gave up and said, 'Don't worry about it," Johnson testified.
The defendant said he feared for his life when she left the bedroom and returned with the butcher knife. But he admitted under cross examination that he no longer was in danger when he got the knife from her.
The jury, which began deliberating late Tuesday, can also consider an alternative charge of provocation manslaughter. The jury will return at 9 a.m. today.

Professor Francesco Capozzi at the University of Bologna, Coordinator of the CHANCE consortium, summarises the 3-year project: "In spite of the fact that our major diet-related diseases are more common in lower incomers at risk of poverty, only limited efforts are made to develop healthier products in the lower price range. By exploring means to lower the production costs and increasing the knowledge about this particular group of consumers, CHANCE will hopefully stimulate development of food products that can make a difference as well as make them available and attractive to people who really need them".1
Low income and poor nutrition go hand-in-handResearchers have found a direct link between income and diet quality: as socio-economic status decreases, diets become increasingly unbalanced. One of the reasons for this is that people on a low income often cannot afford enough nutritious food. Lower education levels may also explain why dietary habits are unsatisfactory in this group. Education influences the level of nutrition knowledge a person has, which in turn affects food habits like fruit and vegetable intake. There is a direct link between poor nutrition and risk of obesity and obesity-related problems such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Low-quality diets are also associated with micronutrient deficiencies.2 In Europe, 81 million people are at risk of poverty. The increased disease risk associated with poor nutrition results in a significant healthcare and welfare burden for society, in addition to the suffering endured by individuals.2 In order to address the issue of poor nutrition in populations at risk of poverty and thereby prevent related problems, one of CHANCE's priorities is to gain a better understanding of the population groups of concern.3 Special attention to women and the elderlyEurostat data from 2010 indicate that women and the elderly are more likely to be at risk of poverty than the general population.4 CHANCE researchers intend to take this further by using both geographical and social criteria to clarify which are the major groups of concern in Europe.3 Once these groups have been identified the primary questions are: What do they eat? Is the major problem overweight and obesity, or are these groups unhealthy because of inadequate intakes of micronutrients such as iron and vitamin B12?1 To find out, CHANCE's research method includes reviewing scientific literature, distributing questionnaires about dietary habits, taking measurements such as weight, height and waist circumference, and assessing nutritional and health status.3 Overcome barriers, develop new food productsCHANCE researchers will study what the identified risk group perceives as barriers to healthful eating. In addition, they will seek to find out what retailers, the food and drink industry, and consumers in the food chain think prevents this particular group from consuming nutritious foods. Based on these findings, CHANCE will explore ingredients and raw materials that may be used for the production of food products to address the identified nutritional problems – food products that will be both affordable and attractive to those on a limited budget. It will focus in particular on low-cost technologies and traditional ingredients to develop these foods.3 Developing new food products requires technical knowledge. Equally important is a good understanding of the lifestyle and needs of the people that are at risk of poverty. CHANCE ingredients and food products will be evaluated in order to meet consumer expectations and production requirements.5 For more informationThe CHANCE project is coordinated by Professor Francesco Capozzi and Professor Alessandra Bordoni at the University of Bologna. The multi-disciplinary project consortium consists of 17 partners from 9 European countries. Ten universities and research institutes together with 5 small- and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) from the food and drink sector are engaged in the research and technology development activities within CHANCE. For more information about the project please visit www.chancefood.eu or contact firstname.lastname@example.com. CHANCE (Low cost technologies and traditional ingredients for the production of affordable, nutritionally correct foods improving health in population groups at risk of poverty) receives research funding from the European Community's Seventh Framework Programme (Contract n° 266331).

TravelPod Member ReviewsKing Salmon Resort Dawson's Landing
We loved our stay at Esbelli Evi. We had one of the family suites and Yasmin was kind enough to upgrade us to a slightly bigger suite which had a living room with television, tiny kitchen area, a patio at the back, two bathrooms, two bedrooms. Very comfortable and my kids enjoyed the fact that they were in a 'cave house'. Breakfast was adequate and Yasmin was very friendly and accommodating. Every morning we went over our plans for the day and she helped mark out routes and gave us tips. Our flight was overbooked and we arrived only at 930pm instead of early in the afternoon, and she was actually waiting up for us when we drove in and helped order food for dinner from a nearby restaurant.

Historical Traveler Reviews King Salmon Resort Dawson's Landing
Well I used this forum as a guide to book my hotel and Esbelli Evi is everything and more! First of all the location overlooking the town of Urgup and the hotel are both fantastic. However, what sets this unique inn apart from others that i have stayed in is the amazing service. My wife, son (21 years old) and I had booked two rooms originally on the advice of Suha (owner) so that we would have plenty of space and privacy for our three day visit. However, once we got there and the inn was half full (off season) Suha gave my son his choice of a second room at no additional charge. From there he personally arranged tours for us from a local taxi driver (highly recommend this option), personally drove us to a wonderful hiking trail and gave us full reign of his pc, cd collection and beer (honor system but he never charged us)
Do yourself a favor and book this location should you be visiting Cappadocia. Urgup is an excellent home base and not as touristy as Goreme. Everything you need is a short walk or cab ride away.
This is a great place, with rooms in rehabbed houses built into caves and a somewhat maze-like plan, a nice living room with excellent library, free internet service on 2 computers, very nice patio with views, and excellent advice on 3 different touring routes for Kapadokya (Cappadocia in Greek). Suha Ersoz was not there when we arrived (we later learned that he was out of town in Ankara), but Ramazan spoke English and was very helpful. We had our bedroom, a hallway, a bathroom with the best shower of the trip (and one of the best ever), and an extra bedroom with twin beds.
Absolutely incredibly stunning!!
Our stay at Esbelli Evi in early-November, 2005 had to have been one of the most pleasant "home-away-from-home" hotel experiences that I have ever had. From top to bottom, from start to finish, Esbelli Evi is first rate. I would recommend Esbelli Evi as a base of operation for anyone staying in Cappadocia. Owner Suha and his staff were always available and attentive, yet never in the way. We were able to extend a three day stay into a four day stay because it was so difficult for us to leave the wonderful Cappadocia area of Turkey and the equally wonderful Esbelli Evi.
Wonderful Stay
Esbelli Evi is a wonderful place to stay in Cappadocia. We stayed for 2 nights, and it was great. Suha Bey, the owner, helped us arranging the reservations for the hot air balloon ride, pick up from the Kayseri airport and a daily tour. The room that we stayed was roomy, very clean. It's a very quite, unique place to spend your nights.
The nicest hotel we have stayed at.
We stayed here in 2000 as part of a trip around Turkey. It was the most magical place that we have ever stayed. The rooms (in caves) the building, the atmosphere and the staff were all excellent. It is almost worth making the trip to Cappadocia just to stay in this hotel. It is good to see that it sounds just as friendly and welcoming now as it was when we stayed there.
Once in a while one has an experience that is unmatched... and this is one of those unique places. From the understated graciousness of the owner to the wonderful staff...this place will meet all expectations. I can't wait to return.
Met all expectations and more!
I was wondering how Esbelli could possibly live up to all the great reviews - well, it is just as fasntastic as everyone says and then some! Fabulous location and so beautiful - loved the room (shower had water pressure that'll leave you cowering at the bottom of the tub if you choose ;)), the staff, breakfast, free internet access, cheap drinks available all hours, good restaurant recommendations, laundry service, absolutely gracious host - I could go on. You will love staying here. Very reasonably priced, too.
An hotelier's hotel
As an hotelier I am not always the easiest guest to please. But Esbelli Evi not only pleased me, it was one of the most pleasant hotel stays I can recall... Not because it is luxurious, or because of innumerable gimmicks, bells and whistles (spas, saunas, fine restaurants, etc...) There are none of these. There is a landscape and a view to take one's breath away. There is an attentiveness to the guest that is the greatest luxury of all : a true welcome. It is hard to explain what it is, but whatever it is is it is there and it is bliss. Since coming away, I can only think of when I shall be able to return.
One of my favorite hotels
Aside from my stay at Esbelli Evi being pure bliss, the staff was incredibly responsive and helpful. On my last day, Agra Tours in Cappadocia was suppose to make arrangements for the next leg of my trip. After numerous conversations, I thought everything was confirmed. Next thing I knew, they not only failed to pick me up as promised but when I called them, they informed me that my bus tickets weren't even purchased. I was incredibly upset as I had to be at my destination by a certain time. Seeing my distress, Suha, the owner/manager at Esbelli Evi, drove me to the bus station and convinced the bus company to give me a seat on the sold out bus ride. Before finding out if that was feasible, he also offered to drive me to a town a half hour away to catch a departing bus from there. He was incredibly sympathetic and I can't thank him enough for helping me out. That being said, even without the debacle, Esbelli Evi is one of the most comfortable and intimate hotels I have ever stayed at and will be my first choice when I return.
Fine Hospitality
A stay at the Esbelli Evi is like being a guest at an elegant private home. I can not imagine staying anywhere else on our next visit.

On June 1, 2012, the federal Independence at Home demonstration program to provide coordinated care to Medicare beneficiaries living with chronic conditions in the community launched in 16 individual practices in 12 states around the nation. The following practices were selected as initial participants in the program:
On August 10, 2012, CMS announced an additional three participants. These participants are consortia, comprised of multiple practices cooperating in a single market. They are:
The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation also released a new Fact Sheet on Independence at Home (PDF).
The demonstration is designed to provide chronically ill Medicare beneficiaries with a complete range of home-based primary care services. The goal of the demonstration is to provide comprehensive, coordinated, continuous, and accessible care to high-need patients and to coordinate health care across all treatment settings. The project design incorporates a team approach building on new technology for care delivery in the home setting, for which CMS will test effectiveness through measuring improved outcomes and quality of life for people with multiple chronic conditions. The program is also designed to lower health care costs and realize savings for Medicare and Medicaid spending by delaying the need for care in institutional settings.
IAH is a 3-year demonstration and specifically lists pharmacists as eligible participants of the interdisciplinary team as part of the primary care delivery model. IAH practices will be led by physicians or nurse practitioners who will provide home care visits tailored to the needs of beneficiaries. CMS estimates up to 10,000 Medicare patients will be able to benefit from the demonstration.
Providers of service or practitioners affiliated with the practice may share in any savings realized from decreased costs to Medicare and Medicaid. However service providers may not also be simultaneously enrolled in other shared savings or demonstration projects. Participants must agree to provide data on quality and other measures to determine effectiveness and incentive payments under the demonstration. There are 14 quality measures that must be reported, six of which are directly tied to incentive payments, and practices must meet a minimum savings requirement to share in the savings.
Questions on this demonstration may be submitted to CMS at firstname.lastname@example.com.

"Human Rights, Development and Governance in international Politics – Conflict or Convergence of Policy Goals?"
Congress of the German Association of Political Sciences (DVPW)
Tübingen (Germany)
September 24-28, 2012
Although human rights in international development cooperation as well as democracy promotion (including the question of good governance) count as an indispensable component, there exist vagueness in the conception as well as tensions in the promotion of human rights, development and democratization work. For one thing, the agenda of the millennium development goals (MDG) corresponds in many aspects with the protection of human rights. Nevertheless, implementation work seems to fall short of developing an integrative approach that would clearly and effectively set priorities for both human rights and development work. Moreover, the orthodox neo-liberal doctrine asserts that there exist no inherent conflict between economic growth, development, democracy, stability, autonomy and equality. But local and national conditions often have been ignored - for the benefit of a market-oriented denationalization and deregulation. The consequences: devastating structural poverty, human rights violations, increasing inequality between the North and the South, and a lack of transparency and responsibility in democratic governance. At stake are the following questions: How have human rights, development and governance as inter-linking discourses been articulated with which interests standing behind? How have the conceptual connections or/and the re-definition between "human rights", "development" and "democratic governance" been implemented with what effects? Are there conflicts between these objectives so that specific concerns and issues have been subordinated?
This workshop serves as the first forum to tackle with the intersection issue between human rights, development and governance, systematically and critically. It pursues the following objectives. First, the workshop intends to facilitate an intra-disciplinary communication (human rights, policy fields research, democracy, transformation and development research communities) through theoretical reflections and new empirical findings. Secondly, the workshop invites not only papers from academic circles, but also reflections upon their practical work from both the policy- and NGOs-communities in order to reach a fruitful dialogue between theorists and practitioners.
Potential themes include:
- Overlap between human rights and development (with examples of millennium development goals, the question of sustainable development, development policies of the United States, the European Union, China and India, poverty reduction etc.);
- Overlap between human rights and democratic governance;
- Overlap between human rights, development cooperation and democratic governance;
- Policy-network analyses (conflict or convergence, theory and practices).
Please send your abstract (no more than 300 words) no later than April 15, 2012 to the following email-address: Dr. Miao-ling Lin Hasenkamp, Universität Magdeburg, Germany
Depending on the result of the workshop, an edited book "Human Rights, Development and Governance in international Politics – Conflict or Convergence of Policy Goals" is planned after a peer-reviewing process in the publication series of policy research, Lit-Verlag, Münster / Germany for 2012/2013.

Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! published a report yesterday saying Sam Presti is potentially being sought after by Portland. The Blazers have made "fact-finding" calls on Presti, though no official decision has been made on Kevin Pritchard. My question: What high profile GM would want to leave a great situation and a great relationship with his ownership group to go somewhere where the current and very popular GM is being ran out of town? Would you jump at that opportunity?
Presti: "Portland has a general manager, and I have a great job here in Oklahoma City," Presti said Sunday. "I am excited to be a part of what we are building."
OKC likes German Tibor Pleiss at No. 26? His Draft Express profile.
A couple ESPN analysts like Trevor Booker: "Trevor Booker gets my vote too. I have always advocated for second-round selections who have what I call "winning skills." These are players that bring high energy on the court, a specific high-level skill and are low maintenance off the court. Booker fits this perfectly. After four years as an ACC starter, he has competed against — and in some cases dominated — guys who are already in the NBA. His power, explosive jumping ability, nose for the ball and experience would make for a great rotation player early in his career on a team like the Celtics. Think of him as a Glen Davis or Leon Powe type, both of whom had knocks on them coming out of college, but helped the Celtics win a title in 2008."
Could KD be on the cover of the re-branded NBA Elite 11?
Daniel Orton goes 13th in this mock draft on Fanhouse.
A writer from Fox Sports Southwest thinks OKC needs a shooting guard. James Harden anyone?: "I think they may look to add a shooting guard to play next to Russell Westbrook in the backcourt or a power forward to add strength in front court. There also has been talk of taking back a contract to get into the top five picks. If they can manage to move into the top five, Demarcus Cousins of Kentucky would be an attractive addition. He can score anytime he touches the ball and has a 7-6 wingspan. He has soft hands and is a force on defense and above average passing skills for a big man. He would be their answer to Andrew Bynum of the Lakers."
A bunch of pictures of KD's China trip. As this picture shows, KD has a couple tattoos. Who knew?
Jon Schuhmann of NBA.com looks at teams that can spend this summer: "Thunder: Ideal Fit: Bosh or Redick. If you can get Bosh, you get him. With Kevin Durant, you don't need him to be the star that the Raptors needed him to be. Redick would fit the long-term plan and give the Thunder the outside shooting that they need without being a liability on defense. He's restricted and probably won't come cheap, but as the team on this list closest to a championship, the Thunder have the most to gain by taking a financial risk."

Florida Census Records
about Finding Family!
According to the 2010 United States Census, FL is the 4th most populous state in the US with 18,801,310 (approx) people, which was an increase of 17.6% from the 2000 census.
Federal Census of Florida was first conducted in the year 1830 and continued every ten years since then. However, most of the 1890 census records were lost in the 1921 fire in the basement of the Commerce Building Washington, D.C.
Why census records?
Census data are essential to achieve useful information related to every Floridian, for instance address, number of house in order of visitation, name of head of family and other members in the family, age, race, gender, marriage details, education, profession, parents' details, immigration and citizenship details and many more relevant data. These historical records are the milestone to discover long-back family history and information.
Significant role of
The primary objective of this site is to collect information relevant to census from multiple reliable sources, then to manually cross-checked them, after this the records are preserved carefully and maintained well and finally to deliver the records to people.
The database helps to find the socio-economic picture of ancestors like their name, age, about marriage, citizenship, occupation type and many more. This site will serve the purpose of genealogists and other record seekers to build successful genealogy family tree.
This website allows the flexibility to use the database just with a minimal of computer knowledge. Even beginners can access records with full comfort. Thus thecensus.co welcomes you to run the search just with the last and first name. But if you can provide more details about the person you are looking for the outcome will be more accurate.

On Wednesday, 155 NFL rookies gathered at a symposium in Florida to ask questions of Commissioner Roger Goodell and Players Association head DeMaurice Smith.
But Andrew Jackson was 3,000 miles away in California.
Jackson, a 2006 graduate of Nevada Union, was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in the seventh round of the NFL Draft earlier this year.
The start of his professional career, however, has been in limbo ever since due to ongoing labor negotiations between the league and players.
"We all know (the negotiations) could drag on another month or so or even longer," said Jackson. "We're hopeful something could happen in the next two weeks."
While he has not been able to practice with his new team, Jackson has found ways to stay in shape.
He is spending his time in Fresno, where he attended college at California State University, Fresno, working out on his own and with his alma mater.
The difficulty is striking a balance in training and finding the right pace for workouts, said Jackson. Should the lockout end next week, he does not want to be burned out by his off-season training.
In addition to his own regimen, Jackson has visited a number of high school football camps to help teach kids who are just starting out what they need to know.
"I remember when I was in their shoes and somebody would come back who made it to the pros. It was spectacular," he said. "Now, I try to go back and tell them to follow their passion, whether it's football or something else.
"For me, it happened to be football, but with anything you're passionate about, pursue it and get something out of it. That's what's important."
Regarding the rookie symposium, which players had to pay their own way to attend, Jackson was optimistic.
"I was surprised to hear that Goodell went down," he said. "Hopefully, it leads to something good."
Jackson said he would probably call up a friend who was there to find out how it went.
NFL training camps are scheduled to start in just more than three weeks.

Denobulan sausage was a Denobulan food and a type of sausage. It was considered a delicacy and was made from some form of animal native to Denobula.
When served, it was a pink color, and was often garnished with vegetables.
Denobulan sausage was one of Doctor Phlox's favorite foods. When Commander Tucker was briefly in command in 2152, he invited Malcolm Reed and Phlox to the captain's private dining room and offered them their favorite foods. (ENT: "The Seventh")

Cell signalling by extracellular nucleotides and derivatives
Brian King
|Senior Lecturer
|Tel +44 (0)20 7472 6563
|Tel +44 (0)20 7472 6476
|Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Dr Brian King graduated in Physiology (1976) and Pharmacology (1980) at the University of Glasgow, Scotland where he trained in neuroscience. His first academic appointment was at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota (1980-85) where he worked in the Department of Physiology and studied the biophysical and signalling properties of sympathetic neurons innervating the gastrointestinal tract. After 5 years in the US, Dr. King moved first to McGill University (Montreal, Canada; 1985), then to the London Hospital Medical School (London England, 1986-1989) to study the sensory systems of the gastrointestinal tract. He took time out of academia to join SmithKline Beecham (1989-1992) and study a neurological disorder called the Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Returning to UCL (1992), he was involved immediately in the isolation and characterisation of the first of the recombinant nucleotide receptors, P2Y1. Dr. King has spent the last 13 years at UCL studying the purinoceptor family of signalling molecules which now encompasses over 25 receptor subtypes. Dr. King sits on advisory boards for nucleotide signalling (IUPHAR P2X and P2Y Nomenclature Subcommittees) and regularly contributes to the Handbook of Receptor Classification (Sigma RBI) and Guide to Receptors and Channels (Br J Pharmacol).
Nucleotides are naturally-occurring compounds found in all living cells, where they have well-defined biochemical and physiological roles. Inside the cell, nucleotides represent the major "energy currency" for biochemical metabolism. When released into the extracellular space, nucleotides also represent a novel way for cells to talk to their neighbours. Nucleotides and their derivatives can activate a large number of membrane-bound signalling proteins, collectively called the purinoceptor family [see Figure 1]. All cells possess purinoceptors - often more than one subtype - and, as a result, these signalling proteins affect every aspect of human physiology. My staff and students work mainly on the signalling properties of the mammalian purinoceptor family, which are studied by cloning individual members into a host cell (e.g. Xenopus oocytes, 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells). We often clone two or more purinoceptors to make heteromeric assemblies of signalling molecules. Occasionally, we also co-express purinoceptors with other types of signalling proteins to investigate receptor-receptor crosstalk. Already, we have studied how purinoceptors can affect TRP and ENaC channels and now are focussing on their actions on AQP (water) channels. The results of our cloning experiments are compared with results from parallel studies of tissues and organs containing key members of the purinoceptor family. I work closely with other scientists in the Department - and throughout UCL - to model signalling systems which employ purinoceptors, and investigate unresolved issues in human physiology. Some of our studies include the role of extracellular nucleotides in i) bone modelling and osteoporosis, ii) control of breathing, iii) tubule function in kidney, iv) blood platelet function in control of bleeding, v) astrocyte growth following brain injury, vi) signalling in sensory nerve pathways, including the ear, vi) control of the urinary bladder and vii) control of gastrointestinal motility. Recently, I have been working with an international collaborative group on the actions of alcohol on the reward/addiction centre of the brain.
Figure 1 The purinoceptor family showing members of the five subtypes. Each subtype is activated by 4 prototypic classes of molecules that possess the purine moiety, but with various extensions to this chemical template. Adenine is the simplest form and the dinucleotide (Ap3A) is the most complex. P2X receptors are ATP gated ion-channels, whereas the remainder are G protein- coupled receptors

JPEGmini Promises Better Compression without Visible IQ Degradation
Latest Camera Reviews
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80 Review
A start-up called ICVT says it has developed new compression algorithms that promise much smaller JPEG file sizes without any visible loss of quality. As reported by Megapixel magazine, the new JPEGmini is compatible with existing JPEG specifications but allows you to preserve most of your pictures' original image quality while achieving a considerably higher compression ratio,.resulting in approximately 80% smaller file sizes. (Of course you could achieve a similar compression ratio with existing technologies too, but IQ would suffer.) You can try the JPEGmini technology yourself, using your own photos, at the website below.

I recommend that people read the terms of usage for this service, specifically the following:
"You hereby grant ICVT and our designees a worldwide, non-exclusive, sublicenseable (through multiple tiers), assignable, royalty-free, fully paid-up, perpetual, irrevocable right to use, host, store, index, reproduce, distribute, create derivative works of, and display and perform your Content on the web and on mobile devices, solely in connection with our provision of the Service"
10 or 15 years ago this would have been hot. But today with 8meg broadband, gigs upon gigs of storage its JUST A POINTLESS WASTE OF TIME.
I tried this the other day, the artifacting produced in some areas was horrible. Not good at all. I guess making new jpgs from jpgs is always going to be a bad idea. If they can add their tech to Photoshop or something and you can make a jpg direct from your original document then it might be impressive. But I won't be using this service at any point.
After downloading their samples I thought to make it a fair comparison I should just compress the larger jpeg file which gimp believes is a 97/100 quality image. Having done this the gimp compressed image is virtually identical to the JPEGmini compressed image.
If they were serious about having created a significantly higher quality jpeg compressor than the current standards (photoshop, gimp, etc.) then they would demonstrate this by showing samples created using each tool with identical file sizes demonstrating better visual quality with their tool.
It is common with jpeg formats that at higher qualities file sizes increase rapidly with small visual gain so any jpeg compressor can take the large files from a camera and make them much smaller with minor visual effects.
Try CompressJPG.com, you'll see that JPEGmini either doesn't even bother to actually compress your files or doesn't allow you to choose the level of quality or even worse, destroy your images with unauthorized blurring/denoising (try to "optimize" a photo with remote brick wall there).

Last week we called out former Georgia Bulldogs tight end to make the Atlanta Falcons roster. White was one of 46 players who took part in the Falcons rookie camp this weekend in Flowery Branch. He was one of ten players brought in for a "tryout", meaning they were not under contract. It looks like White showed what he could do because the Falcons signed him to a contract at the end of the camp.
I'm officially a falcon after this weekend tryout! #dreamcometrue #riseup
— Aron White (@aronwhite81) May 13, 2012
It's a first step for White if he wants to make the Falcons roster, but it's a positive one and we already addressed our lack of quality tight ends on the roster (outside of Gonzo).
In addition to White, the Falcons also signed WR Kenny Stafford and FB Lee Meisner.

Unusually heavy winter snowfalls have caused road crews in area communities to work long hours clearing roadways. It has cost many Trumbull County communities more in overtime as crews often spent overnights clearing mountains of snow.
This winter has been the fifth-snowiest on record as measured by the National Weather Service at the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport.
As of Thursday, the area has seen 85.9 inches of snow on the ground, which is 32 inches more than the the normal amount of snow for this time of the year, according to WKBN 27 News meteorologist Ryan Halicki.
Average seasonal snowfall - July 1 to June 30 - in this area is 53.9 inches. Most of it - 51.3 inches - has come since Jan. 1.
During the winter season, Warren operates three shifts in an attempt to limit the amount of overtime. Still, the city in the first 2 1/2 months of 2014 spent about $42,272 in overtime in its operations department for snow removal. During the same period of 2013, its employees collected about $30,184 in overtime.
Councilman Eddie Colbert, D-7th Ward, said the city set aside about $50,000 for overtime for snow removal. There is unlikely to be a significant weather event until next November, he said.
However, the water distribution department ran over fixing breaks in older waterlines because of the season's freezes and thaws. Through the first pay period of March, the city paid $46,332 in overtime in its water distribution division, according to City Auditor David Griffing. During the same period of 2013, it paid out $41,710 in overtime.
Dale Grimm, Lordstown Village's street commissioner, said since Jan. 1, the average street department employee earned 75 to 95 hours of overtime per employee. There are six employees in the department.
"We've paid out $9,500 in overtime since Jan. 1," Grimm said. "From Jan. 1 through the end of March of 2013, the employee with the most overtime had no more than 42 hours."
For all of 2013, the average street department employee earned no more than 120 hours worth of overtime.
In Girard, Mayor James Melfi said, "We paid $8,985 in overtime during the first two months of 2013," Melfi said. "This year, we've paid $6,528 in overtime. I was surprised at those figures. We've been doing the majority of our snow removal during regular business hours."
Girard spent $7,501 in overtime to do waterline repairs in January and February 2013 compared with $11,694 during the same period this year.
Liberty Township Administrator Pat Ungaro said that since Jan. 1, there has been 184.5 hours of overtime in which it has paid $5,739. Last year, Liberty had 464 hours of overtime over the entire year and paid out $12,000 in overtime.
"We are all hoping the worse of the winter is over," Ungaro said.
Liberty has a five-person street department crew that removes snow from the township's streets.
Weathersfield Administrator David A. Rouan said there has been 367.75 hours of overtime since the beginning of the year.
"We've paid $12,636.06 in overtime to four employees," he said. "The amount we've spent in overtime since Jan. 1 represents 42 percent of the amount we spent over the entire year in 2013."
Jack Haney described Newton Falls having to live within its budget constraints.
"We are working with one less individual in the street department and we are limiting the amount of overtime," Haney said. "I don't know if we are spending more this year, because while this winter has been difficult, the type of storms sometimes were longer."
Newton Falls employees have earned about 131.5 hours and $4,333 in overtime.
The Trumbull County Engineer's Office, during the first 2 1/2 months, has had 3,461 hours in overtime, affecting 61 employees, since Jan. 1, according to Herb Laukhart of the Trumbull County Engineer's Office. It has paid out $101,129.83. During the same period in 2013, its employees worked 2,352 hours in overtime and earned $68,247.
Austintown paid more than twice the amount in overtime costs from Jan 1 through Feb. 28, 2014, than it did during the same period in 2013. It has spent $48,000 for snow removal and the laying down of aggregate this year compared to about $20,000 in 2013. Austintown has 14 employees on its road crew.
For the entire winter season, Ohio Department of Transportation District 4 paid out $1.5 million in overtime for snow removal in the six-county region. The region includes Ashtabula, Trumbull, Mahoning, Portage, Stark, and Summit counties.
"The amount of overtime spent depends on the weather," Brent Kovacs, a spokesman with ODOT, said. "There was not a significant increase in overtime costs this year versus previous year."
In the 2012-2013 winter season, ODOT paid $1.3 million.
The amount of winter overtime spent within the district has increased every year since the 2012 winter season, when it spent a low of $851,000. Since then, the district spent more than $1.1 million in overtime.

Hi. You didn't wake me up before you left.
I couldn't bear to. Mommy came to pick me up, and lying there next to your Cabbage Patch Kid, with that smile on, you looked just like a little girl.
I am a little girl. I'm only 7.
You didn't look a day over 5.
Flatterer. You know I love it. And you know what else I love?
You do egg me on. Okay—the cut of my He-Man Masters of the Universe T-shirt? The way my GoBot transforms? My Tonka dump truck?
No, silly. Your scent. I can still smell you on the high chair. Whatever were you wearing?
I thought you knew. That's Gregory's. It was developed by a Florida couple named Perini, and my mommy got it for me at I. Magnin, which will carry it this winter. So will Macy's and probably Neiman-Marcus. It's named for the Perinis' nephew, and it costs only $15.50 for .85 fluid ounces, and it's especially for people like me—you know, the 3-to-10 set. Randy Perini says, "Now when he dresses up in $125 shoes and suits, manicures his nails and brushes his hair, the young sophisticated gentleman will have a fragrance all his own. He won't have to borrow Dad's."
Oh, stop. You know what it does to me when you quote great men.
You bet I do. Well, I've got to go—it's time for my nap, and I'm worn out from reaching up to the phone. I guess it's ciao for now, baby.
Okay, kid. Don't be a stranger. And do bring Gregory back, too.

Los Angeles is considered the land of sandy beaches and endless highways, but the city has carved out a few secret gardens of its own. For the horticultural enthusiasts or flower fans visiting LA, here are some of the most beautiful hidden gardens in Los Angeles that even locals don't know about.
On the first day of each year the Rose Parade provides a horticultural visual feast on the streets of Pasadena, but just down the road The Huntington Library houses not one but fourteen hidden gardens. Inside the Huntington are a fascinating collection of rare books, manuscripts and art, most notably Thomas Gainsborough's Blue Boy. However it's their numerous themed gardens that we're interested in. Covering 120 acres in total and not often visited, they are truly worth the trip. From the Desert Garden filled with 5,000 succulents and desert plants to the resplendent, newly reopened Japanese Garden – lose yourself in these other worlds.
A little farther done the road to Arcadia you'll discover the Arboretum. If you're looking to view plant collections from all over the world, some of which are rare and endangered, The Los Angeles County Arboretum & Botanic Garden is the place. Amassed over 127 acres, you'll find gardens devoted to different world regions from Australia to Asia, as well as gardens cultivated by the local community.
Griffith Park is considered the largest municipal park in Los Angeles, but hidden along the trail is a manmade garden cultivated over three decades. Amir Dialameh began his namesake garden in 1971 after a fire deprived the area of vegetation. The garden's trees and plants were picked to make it an oasis of tranquility for Griffin Park hikers who stumble across it.
What once was the estate of the Robinson department store founders is now a bucolic public garden looking out over the Beverly Hills Hotel. Book a guided tour at the Robinson Gardens to get an up close view of the Australian King Palm Forest, Rose Garden and Italian Terrace Garden.
Speaking of hidden garden estates, just a stones throw away is the Greystone Estate, built by Edward L. Doheny in 1927 and purchased by the City of Beverly Hills in 1965 to become a public park. Roam the grounds and the many elaborate gardens, which are open to the public, and take in the location for many Hollywood films like There Will Be Blood and Star Trek Into Darkness.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and its many spin-offs might be the world's most popular television series. As a result the "CSI effect" has influenced the forensic sciences and indeed the criminal justice system.
Due to the dramatic license taken by television writers, however, the CSI effect erroneously raises our expectations of forensic science by glamorizing it, exaggerating its abilities, and overstating the accuracy of forensic techniques.
While remarkable advances in biotechnology have enabled DNA typing to become the gold standard for forensic science, other forensic evidence such as fingerprints, toolmarks, bitemarks, hairs, and blood spatters struggle to defend themselves against their critics. We should all expect forensic science to solve crimes and put the right people in jail. But it doesn't always work that way.
That's why in February the National Academy's Committee on Identifying the Needs of the Forensic Sciences Community issued a report on the scientific shortcomings and policy changes that could improve the field, titled "Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward." Though the report did not dwell on the past, there was nothing new—nothing that leading forensic scientists such as those from the Consortium of Forensic Science Organizations (CFSO) have not been proposing for decades. "The CFSO has long called for a comprehensive review of the state of forensics in this country," said chairman Peter Marone.
The report says that the way forward is to minimize the great disparities between federal, state, and local crime laboratories. All crime labs need money, educated and skilled staff, more training, and better analytical equipment. In an effort to minimize these disparities, the committee made several key recommendations: crime labs should be independent and autonomous from law-enforcement agencies (police and prosecutors); crime labs should write reports that are more consistent with standards generally accepted by the scientific community; there needs to be more fundamental research primarily designed to better understand error rates for all forensic techniques; there needs to be mandatory accreditation of laboratories and mandatory certification of forensic scientists; and, an enforceable code of ethics for the practice of forensic science needs to be established.
Probably the most contentious recommendation, and the most political, will be trying to separate crime labs from law enforcement. Many will think that the system works best when there is local control over a proper mix of science and crime investigation. The criminal investigators need ready access to the science; scientists need to be responsive to community desires to solve crime. The concept of removing forensic science from the influence of the police and prosecutors has long been proposed as a way to prevent contextual bias. But is that true?
Bias and pressure to conform come from a variety of places in forensic scientists' psyches. In addition, crime labs need funding and funding comes with political power. From where will the isolated, independent forensic laboratory derive its strength and appropriations? Today, they get it from the law-enforcement community of which they are a part. Of course, we would also expect that the federal government might find some difficulty legislating local police and court practices from Washington.

Your location:
London UK as a base. I do travel to the US and Europe for work as well
Age (If you want):
36 - I think - . I stopped celebrating birthdays more than 25 years ago.
How Primal are you:
I'd say 2/3. The big ones - pasta, rice, bread, cereals, excessive fruit juices- have disappeared from my nutrition at more than 95%, and have been replaced by nuts and other stuff.
On the non-food stuff, I can probably do a lot better, esp. the sleep side.
Do you consume dairy:
Only in caffe latte.
Do you drink coffee or tea:
Yes. Coffee is the last of the Mohicans for me, and I've actually started to conquer this last fortress this week.
Motivator for switching to Primal:
I just can't afford not to. When working extensively, any hiccup in shape can result in a lost day or period, an unaffordable luxury in my life.
I found out about Mark by watching the P90X making of on Youtube. Listening to him, I thought: "finally someone who seems to know what he's talking about". I found the blog, read, researched, ended up placing an order for the Master Formula and the Fish Oils... and got hooked pretty immediately. Within 2 months, our kitchen went through several rounds of the "clean your pantries" post.
Favorite exercise:
P90X / P90X+, which should get adapted with some Yoga in the near future.
Favorite Primal food:
My girlfriend's wok-ed chicken breast, cooked with peppers, herbs and cashew nuts, and some tomato sauce on the side. Just to die for.
Best part about being Primal:
Having the thing I wanted most in life: a TOTALLY even mood and level of energy during my 15+ hour days.
Also: anger having disappeared from my daily life. Almost unheard of for family and relatives.
Worst part about being Primal:
Challenging the historical self of being brought up as a French gastronome in a rather drastic fashion.

January 30, 2004, 10:47 PM
Well...the saying would be "hell yes"! :D
What do you want to know? Its the same basic frame as the 75B except the beavertail is more upswept from the factory, which I LOVE! The 9mm SA has the heavier slide with full length rails on the slide, ala the 40 75B.
Its got a pretty decent trigger but can be made to melt in your hands with a bit of work....
The safeties are the CZ IPSC/Witness Comp. style and are much "speed friendly" than the OEM CZ safety lever......much better if your a 1911 guy.
They are one of the most accurate CZ's made.....rivaling the beloved 97B for the accuracy king of CZ'dom.
Ive had 2 and this was my last one.......a Custom I built and would shoot with damn near any gun out there.......stock or otherwise.
My biggest beef is the plastic triggers CZ puts on them.....you can get an alloy trigger from CZUSA that is takeup / overtravel adjustable.....this gun had one installed with a 3# trigger that broke like glass...........
Shoot well..........
January 30, 2004, 11:59 PM
A CZ-USA inspired pistol intended to deliver match grade accuracy at economy price.
Believe it or not. In HANDGUNS testing..the 9mm 75SA outshot a new production model SIG P210!
Here is a pic of my customized 75SA in .40. caliber.
January 31, 2004, 12:08 AM
Would You know how much CZUSA charges for installation of the alloy trigger?
Would it be better to send just the reciever or the whole pistol?
I too have been interested in the CZ line for some time, just not crazy about the SA's plastic trigger as I understand they sometimes break.
Thanks! :D
January 31, 2004, 02:00 AM
I've thought about the SA, myself. What is the difference in the SA, vs. just carrying the standard CZ-75B cocked-and-locked?
January 31, 2004, 03:36 AM
Just curious if anyone knows if the cz 85 combat comes with the heavier slide with full length rails like the cz 75 .40s&w?
January 31, 2004, 07:12 AM
I would think so as all a 85 is just a ambidextrex 75.
Col Kurtz
January 31, 2004, 08:22 AM
Who's got them at the best deal?
January 31, 2004, 11:45 AM
CZF SA CLUB should answer some questions. No, the 85B is like a 75B
but with ambi controls. The CZ85 Combat is ambi with special features.
January 31, 2004, 03:10 PM
Well, I know youre better off sending the entire gun to CZUSA. The FPB in the slide is part of " a properly done trigger job"........I dont know the cost of the trigger installed. But if you mention the CZForum when you call they are likely to give you a slightly better deal.
Shoot well...........
