Arsène Wenger insists his side will not take Swansea City lightly when the two teams meet at Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
Michael Laudrup's team have started this season brightly, and currently sit just a place and a point behind Arsenal in the Premier League.
Wenger recognises that Swansea pose a significant threat, and is adamant his team will have to be at their best.
"They [Swansea] have bought intelligently and of course that gives them the basis they had last year, and the addition of the players they have brought in," he told Arsenal Player. "It makes them dangerous.
"Of course [Brendan Rodgers] has made the basis of what the club is today and Michael Laudrup has added some players he knew from Spain who are very good additions.
"They have Michu, Pablo Hernandez, de Guzman, these players and keeping Britton, Rangel and the players at the back. They are a dangerous side throughout, and having a good season. They are a complete unit, very creative, very technical and very mobile."
Watch the full interview with the boss on Arsenal Player soon.

I was able to get some very large cells this year also. I have monitored them throughout the season and have found they are also the same size as queens from other cells.
I believe the larva can only eat so much royal jelly, and the rest is eaten by the worker bees once the queen emerges. Although when virgins hatch in the incubator I have observed them going back into the cells and eating the excess royal jelly.
The larger cells in my opinion are a result of the extra royal jelly and not to accomodate a larger queen.

We're obviously looking at how egg cells (and possibly sperm cells) are made.
My understanding is that these RNP particles move into the oocyte along with other other components that are being transferred from the nurse cells.
You might have to look up gametogenesis to get a better feel for the process.
The RNP then makes it to the nucleus (possibly via the cytoskeleton) where it then reverse transcribes and integrates into the host genome.
So, the transposable element makes it to the nucleus during gamete formation and integrates.
After that, it's resistance via RNAi, as in the Maori paper.
This is the only example of Honeybee disease resistance by evolution, that I am aware of, that is so well documented.
I don't think that we can say the same for any of the other possible mechanisms being discussed. That's what makes it special.
Out of 8 splits from an obviously DWV infected hive (there was a funnel of dead bees, with shriveled wings, leading back to the hive), 1 was good enough to rehive.
Even though we're going to take a look for evidence for DWV integration, it might take a while before we actually know if the new hive is truly resistant.
Hunting for jumping genes is never an easy task.

Where I stayed
Camping Clos Martin
What I did
Ballon d'Alsace
Vieil Armand
Grand Ballon
Le Hohneck
The Grand Ballon is the highest point in the Vosges at 1424 m. I had originally thought the Grand Ballon was just a viewpoint that you pull over at and take a few photos of (I should have known better because almost none of the sites in France have been like this). I had imagined that it would have an orientation table and that we'd be spending about half an hour at it. Turns out it's a national park with walking trails all around it and we ended up being there for nearly three hours! We did the longer panaromic route (there was a short one but we decided since we didn't have anywhere to be right after, might as well see as much as we can).
Once we reached the top, there was a monument in memory of the alpine hunters who fought and died in World War I. There is also a radar station at the top which is in the shape of big beach ball – I thought this was why the site had gotten its name but it turns out that was only constructed in the late 1990's. Perhaps the name characterizes the rounded shape of the Vosges mountain peaks. Wrong on both counts - it turns out, the name Ballon is derived from Bel or Baal, the sun god of the Celts (we learned this piece of trivia in out handy little brochure that explained the fauna/flora and history of the Grand Ballon). We climbed up to the viewing platform that is integrated into the radar station. We got a 360-degree view of the surroundings as you walked around the platform.
Once we'd made our way around the radar station and checked out all the vantage points (I had to make sure we'd got the best views and photo opportunities), we made our way back down the mountain to the info centre and parking lot where we'd left the van. This is also where the Club Vosgien runs a hotel and restaurant. Before we had walked up to the Ballon, we had seen a sign out saying "Tarte Myrtille – only 2.50 Euro". We thought that was a very reasonable price and I had been wanting to try something regional (given that Myrtille, or wild blueberry, was in season, I thought this would be very fitting). So having done our several hour exploration of the area, we sat down at the outside tables of the Grand Hotel. The hotel, which is at the parking area of the Grand Ballon, still has impressive viewpoints. I found a table that looked away from the parking lot and over the surrounding mountains. It also happened to be right by the mini bob sled run which many kids were enjoying. Megs went in to order while I held the table. She soon came back out with a tray of goodies- a tarte myrtille, a caf� au lait (first one of the trip!), and an apricot pie.
We then continued along the route des cr�tes with more views of the valleys below, picturesque "ferme auberges" with cows grazing lazily on the lush green grass. We thought we were done for the day but along the way, came across Vieil Armand. The French gave this name to the sites of one of the bloodiest battles on the Alsace front. We hadn't planned on seeing it but thought that since we were already there, we might as well check it out. What we thought would be a short stop turned out to be a two hour pit stop. It was a really interesting site from WWI that is teeming with trenches, underground passages, shelters and barbed wire – reminding us of the fighting and giving visitors a glimpse of what it would have been like during 1914-1918. We walked through the cemetery and up to the memorial – the whole time walking alongside all the trenches.
We finally made it into our campsite in Ramonchamp around 8pm. The campsite was a small one and nearly all the campers (which seemed like they were permanent fixtures) were all chatting and having drinks at one of the sites. On the way into camp, my keen food-spotting eyes had seen a roadside pizza stand just a little ways from the campsite. We were too tired to cook so I went on bike and ordered the pizza "foresti�re".
Aug 18
Today will be a short day to write about – I can sum it up in two words: "We perspired". It was 35 degrees in the shade and we were pretty much too overheated to move far. We attempted a bike ride into Thillot since it was only 2 km away and even that was too much in the heat. We picked up some brochures at the Tourist Info (I asked if there were any swimming spots nearby and unfortunately there weren't!), picked up some bread and headed back to camp. We just lay outside on towels, moving from shady spot to shady spot, waiting for even the slightest breeze. For lunch, I tried a new type of cheese which we had picked up a few days earlier in the Vosges. Munster is a creamy cheese, similar in texture to Brie, but way stinkier. The rind has a very strong flavour but the cheese itself was quite mild. By around 6pm, we figured it had cooled down enough (it was still about 25 degrees out) to attempt a longer bike ride. I was determined to go for a ride since one of the reasons we had camped at this particular location was because it was along the riding path, "Voie Verte".
Aug 19
We left camp around 9:30 am and we were at the Ballon d'Alsace by 10ish (it was a short drive from camp). It turns out that yesterday's bike ride at mid-day, even though it was short-lived, had not been unfruitful. Megs had dashed into a bakery just before noon (almost all the small stores – and even some large chains – close from noon to 2pm in France) to pick up a baguette. She had thought the bakery was definitely one that I would appreciate and so before we passed through Le Thillot on the way to the Ballon, we stopped at the boulangerie/patisserie that Megs had said I was sure to like. I was excited to finally go into a "real" boulange (real by my definition being one with that has that French finesse for making even their bakeries an exciting place to visit by treating their pastry and bread as works of art).
It was a steep climb to the parking lot and we saw lots of riders along the way – this would've been a good warm up for the alpe d'huez ride but oh well, I was going to the top the easy way this time (and plus my bike was still making all sorts of funny noises that needed to be fixed first). We stopped by the TI (as we almost always do) to see what was of interest in the surrounding area. We picked up a really informative, full color hiking guide for the hike we wanted to do ("La Balade des Points de Vue" – Walk of viewpoints) around the Ballon for a whopping 1 Euro (they really do encourage tourism here in France!). We liked viewpoints and it was only 2 hours long so we decided to go for it. Turns out that all the viewpoints were within the first 40 mins and the remaining 80 minutes we spent descending down to tiny lake that was cute, but definitely not worth the 425 m elevation gain that awaited us in the sweltering heat. It actually would've been a decent hike overall if it wasn't for the heat.
Anyhow, I'll only describe the first part of the hike as it had worthwhile viewpoints. It started with a short climb from the parking lot to the summit of the Ballon d'Alsace itself. It culminates at an altitude of 1247 meters at the point where the three regions of the France-Comt�, Alsace and Lorraine meet. As I mentioned earlier, the term Ballon is derived from the name of Celtic sun god. From the Ballon d'Alsace, you can see the sun rise directly above three mountain peaks at various equinoxes (as far as the Black Forest in Germany, the Swiss Jura mountains, and the Petit Ballon). It is thus believed that the Celts used the summit as a solar observatory. The path to the summit follows the old Franco-German border of 1871.
By the time we got back, it was mid-day and a f�te was in full swing at the grassy park next to where we had parked. There were lots of people milling about now and we strolled around from stall to stall and sampled various goodies from local producers.
Having explored the Ballon d'Alsace, we made our way to our next campsite. Since it was still in the mid-thirties, we decide to find a campsite with access to a swimming area. We found a great little campsite in Masevaux that was right next to the community pool. The pool was packed with people of all ages who had the same idea as we did but we didn't care. We spent the next few hours between cooling off in the pool and lying out on the grass reading our books. As we enjoyed our downtime from sightseeing, we both agreed that we needed to take the time to just "do nothing" a bit more often.

Testosterone May Protect Men From Allergic Asthma
Posted 13 days ago by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, May 9, 2017 – Testosterone – the male sex hormone – may be the reason why so many more women have asthma than men, new research suggests. The study found that testosterone suppresses an immune system cell involved in allergic asthma. Allergic asthma is an inflammatory condition that causes the airways to swell, making it hard to breathe. The swelling and inflammation is triggered by an allergic reaction. Before puberty, the condition is more common among boys than girls. Afterwards, however, it is twice as prevalent and more severe among women than men, the researchers explained. "There is a very interesting clinical observation that women are more affected and develop more severe asthma than men, and so we tried to understand why this was happening," said study leader Cyril Seillet, from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute in Melbourne, Australia. The international team of ... Read more

TV Ads Help Drive Testosterone Supplement Sales
Posted 21 Mar 2017 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, March 21, 2017 – TV ads have helped spur a boom in testosterone treatments, convincing many men that they need hormone replacement therapy, a new study suggests. In places where testosterone therapy ads ran, researchers discovered increases in testing for low T, initiation of testosterone replacement in new patients, and testosterone treatment without proper testing to see if hormone levels were abnormally low. "We found that each advertisement aired was associated with new use, new testing and new use without recent baseline tests," said lead author J. Bradley Layton, a research assistant professor of epidemiology with the University of North Carolina's Gillings School of Global Public Health. Testosterone replacement therapy experienced a boom in recent years, with the number of patients leaping from 1.3 million in 2009 to 2.3 million in 2013, according to the U.S. Food and ... Read more

Testosterone Therapy May Have Benefits, But Risks Too
Posted 21 Feb 2017 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, Feb. 21, 2017 – Testosterone treatment can boost bone density and reduce anemia in older men with low levels of the hormone, but it might also open the door to future heart risks, a new set of trials suggests. The findings come in the last four studies to be reported out of the Testosterone Trials, a set of seven overlapping federally funded year-long clinical trials conducted at 12 sites across the United States. All told, the Testosterone Trials seem to indicate that the best use of testosterone therapy is for treatment of decreased sexual function in men with so-called "low T" (low testosterone levels), said Dr. Thomas Gill. He is a Yale University professor of geriatrics who ran one of the clinical trial sites. But the trials also found that men receiving testosterone treatment experienced a significantly greater increase in arterial plaque than men not taking the hormone, ... Read more

HRT Won't Lower Women's Alzheimer's Risk, Study Finds
Posted 16 Feb 2017 by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, Feb. 16, 2017 – Women who use hormone therapy after menopause may not have a lower risk of developing Alzheimer's, a new study suggests. However, there was some evidence that long-term use – over a decade – might be tied to a lower risk of the memory-robbing brain disease. But the results were far from definitive, the researchers added. The study is the latest to delve into the question of whether menopausal hormone therapy can benefit women's brains. Research so far has yielded conflicting findings. On one hand, a number of trials have found no brain benefits for women using hormone therapy, said Dr. JoAnn Pinkerton, executive director of the North American Menopause Society. On the other hand, small trials have found that when hormone therapy is given after surgical menopause, women can see "cognitive benefits," said Pinkerton, who was not involved in the new study.

Testosterone Therapy May Be Linked to Serious Blood Clots
Posted 1 Dec 2016 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 30, 2016 – Testosterone treatment can increase a man's risk of potentially fatal blood clots, a new study suggests. Researchers found that men taking the male hormone seem to have a 63 percent increased risk of a blood clot forming in a vein, a condition known as venous thromboembolism (VTE). These clots can cause a heart attack, stroke, organ damage or even death, according to the American Heart Association. "Risk peaks rapidly in the first six months of treatment and lasts for about nine months, and fades gradually thereafter," said lead researcher Dr. Carlos Martinez of the Institute for Epidemiology, Statistics and Informatics in Frankfurt, Germany. Millions of American men currently use testosterone pills, gels or injections, hoping that the male hormone will boost their sex drive, stamina and strength. It's been known for a while that the estrogen in birth control ... Read more

Male Birth Control in a Shot: Promising, But More Work Needed
Posted 27 Oct 2016 by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, Oct. 27, 2016 – A birth control shot for men shows some promise, but researchers are still struggling to improve its effectiveness and deal with severe side effects caused by the injections. Only four pregnancies occurred among 266 men receiving the treatment, which is an effectiveness rate comparable to other contraceptive methods, according to results from a new international clinical trial. But the men also experienced mood swings and depression so frequently that a safety review committee halted the study early, the researchers reported. No further development is planned for this particular birth control shot for men, but the clinical trial showed that such an injection can suppress sperm counts and prevent pregnancy, said researcher Dr. Mario Festin. He is a medical officer with department of reproductive health and research at the World Health Organization. "A male ... Read more

FDA Warns of Dangers From Testosterone Supplements

WEDNESDAY, Oct. 26, 2016 – Supplemental testosterone and related anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) can cause heart attacks, personality changes and infertility, and are easily abused, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warns. The agency said Monday that labeling on all prescription testosterone products – which are approved to treat men with low testosterone due to certain medical conditions – will be revised. Millions of American men currently use testosterone pills, gels or get injections in hopes of boosting their physical health or libido. Anabolic steroids are synthetic variations of testosterone and are legally prescribed to treat conditions such as delayed puberty and diseases that cause muscle loss, such as cancer or AIDS. But "testosterone and other AAS are abused by adults and adolescents, including athletes and body builders," according to an FDA news release. "Abuse ... Read more

FDA Medwatch Alert: Testosterone and Other Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS): FDA Statement - Risks Associated With Abuse and Dependence
Posted 25 Oct 2016 by Drugs.com
ISSUE: FDA approved class-wide labeling changes for all prescription testosterone products, adding a new Warning and updating the Abuse and Dependence section to include new safety information from published literature and case reports regarding the risks associated with abuse and dependence of testosterone and other AAS. The Anabolic Steroids Control Act of 1990 placed AAS, including testosterone, in Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act. Testosterone and other AAS are abused by adults and adolescents, including athletes and body builders. Abuse of testosterone, usually at doses higher than those typically prescribed and usually in conjunction with other AAS, is associated with serious safety risks affecting the heart, brain, liver, mental health, and endocrine system. Reported serious adverse outcomes include heart attack, heart failure, stroke, depression, hostility, ... Read more

Hormone Therapy for Prostate Cancer Less Safe for Men With Prior Heart Attack
Posted 30 Sep 2016 by Drugs.com
FRIDAY, Sept. 30, 2016 – Men diagnosed with prostate cancer often receive hormone-depleting therapy to help fight the tumor. But a new study suggests that the treatment may pose a risk to men who've previously suffered a heart attack. "Patient age, cardiac risk, and disease recurrence risk should be considered when selecting candidates for hormone therapy in this patient population," lead researcher Dr. Nataniel Lester-Coll of Yale University said in a Yale news release. He's a resident doctor at the Yale School of Medicine's department of therapeutic radiology in New Haven, Conn. Because prostate tumors typically grow in the presence of hormones such as testosterone, doctors often recommend therapies that temporarily deplete hormone levels. But might that approach affect heart health? To find out, the Yale team analyzed data from patients with intermediate- and high-risk prostate ... Read more

Bodybuilders' Steroid Abuse Linked to Pre-Diabetic Condition
Posted 14 Sep 2016 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 14, 2016 – Weightlifters' abuse of anabolic steroids – synthetic drugs that closely mimic male sex hormones, such as testosterone – may also lead to insulin resistance, a new study suggests. Insulin resistance is a condition where the muscles, liver and fat cells don't use insulin properly, according to the U.S. National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). It can lead to the development of type 2 diabetes, NIDDK says. A team of researchers led by Dr. Jon Rasmussen from Herlev University Hospital in Copenhagen investigated the effects of anabolic steroids on the belly fat and insulin sensitivity of 100 men who were 50 years old or younger. All of the men were involved in strength training. The researchers divided the men into three groups based on their use of anabolic steroids: 37 men were currently using the drugs, 33 had done so in the ... Read more

Hormone Therapy for Prostate Cancer Tied to Depression
Posted 12 Apr 2016 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, April 11, 2016 – Older men who receive testosterone-suppressing therapy for prostate cancer may be at increased risk of developing depression, a new, large study suggests. The findings are based on over 78,000 U.S. men treated for earlier-stage prostate cancer. Researchers found that among those given hormone-suppressing therapy, 7 percent developed clinical depression in the next few years. That compared with 5 percent of men who did not have the treatment. The findings do not prove that hormone therapy is to blame. But they do offer "pretty strong evidence" that might be the case, said senior researcher Dr. Paul Nguyen. He is director of prostate brachytherapy at Brigham and Women's Hospital, in Boston. Nguyen said his team accounted for some other factors that could affect depression risk – including the severity of a man's cancer, his age and education. And there was still ... Read more

Young Athletes Pressured by Parents May Resort to 'Doping'
Posted 1 Mar 2016 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Feb. 29, 2016 – Young male athletes under parental pressure to succeed are more likely to use banned substances to boost their sports performance, a new study finds. Researchers at the University of Kent in England asked 129 young male athletes, average age 17, about their attitudes on "doping" – the use of prohibited drugs, such as steroids, hormones or stimulants, to boost athletic ability. These substances, sometimes called performance-enhancing drugs, can potentially alter the human body and biological functions. However, they can be extremely harmful to a person's health, experts warn. In addition, the study participants were also asked about four different aspects of perfectionism. The four areas were: parental pressure; self-striving for perfection; concerns about making mistakes; and pressure from coaches. Only parental pressure was linked to positive feelings about ...

Testosterone Therapy May Boost Sex Drive in Older Men ...
Posted 18 Feb 2016 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 17, 2016 – Testosterone therapy may restore some sexual desire and function in older men whose natural hormone levels have declined, clinical trials suggest. However, the treatments didn't do much to improve vitality or physical function in men 65 or older, as many have believed, said co-researcher Dr. Thomas Gill. "Men who are experiencing low desire or low sexual activity and are interested in improving in those areas, testosterone treatment would be reasonable to consider," Gill said. But, "a physician probably wouldn't be encouraged to prescribe testosterone solely for problems with physical function or solely for low energy, based on these results," he added. Gill is a professor of geriatrics and epidemiology at Yale University and director of the Yale Program on Aging in New Haven, Conn. The use of testosterone replacement therapy has nearly doubled in recent ... Read more

Obsessed Athletes More Likely to Approve of Performance-Enhancing Drugs: Study
Posted 15 Feb 2016 by Drugs.com
SATURDAY, Feb. 13, 2016 – The more obsessed that college athletes are with their sport, the more likely they are to approve of using performance-enhancing drugs, a new Canadian study finds. Two types of passion are associated with sports, the University of Waterloo researchers explained. "Harmonious passion" involves feelings of enjoyment, and the sport blends with the athlete's life. "Obsessive passion" means not being able to disconnect from a sport and having feelings of guilt when not participating. The researchers surveyed nearly 600 male and female varsity/all-star athletes at four universities in the province of Ontario. "We found that regardless of gender, athletes who reported higher obsessive passion indicated more lenient attitudes towards [performance-enhancing drugs], while athletes who reported higher harmonious passion held more conservative attitudes towards them," ...

Knee Arthritis: Steroid Shots May Not Help Long-Term, Ozone Injections Promising
Posted 10 Nov 2015 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, Nov. 10, 2015 – Millions of aging Americans are plagued by arthritic knees, and two new studies offer insight into what might – or might not – help curb the condition. Both studies were presented this week at the American College of Rheumatology's annual meeting in San Francisco. One study found that a popular therapy, steroid drug injections, do nothing to slow progression of osteoarthritis in the knee. This type of treatment is common, but has never been specifically tested, and there are concerns about its safety, according to a team led by Dr. Tim McAlindon, chief of rheumatology at Tufts Medical Center in Boston. His team tracked outcomes for 140 people – mainly overweight white women – with knee arthritis who averaged 58 years of age. The patients received either injections of the steroid triamcinolone hexacetonide, or placebo injections of saline, every three months ... Read more

About the Battle of Flowers Parade
(from the Fiesta San Antonio Web site)
The first Battle of Flowers Parade was in 1891 to honor the heroes of the Alamo and to commemorate the Battle at San Jacinto, April 21, 1836, where Texas won its independence from Mexico. Despite rain that postponed the parade for four days, a group of determined San Antonio women made the colorful "flower battle" a success.
The parade has entertained San Antonio every year except during World Wars I and II and is recognized as the founding event of Fiesta San Antonio. The parade was the first major celebratory event to take place on Alamo Plaza. It is sponsored by the Battle of Flowers Association, a nonprofit and women's civic organization chartered in 1914 to celebrate Texas history. Remembering the heroes of the Alamo has remained the focus of the parade, and participants are asked to bring a floral tribute to be placed on the lawn in front of the Alamo.
The theme of this year's parade is "Broadway... and all that jazz!" Enjoy toe tapping fun from Broadway in New York City to the fiddling fandango of Broadway, San Antonio.

With some directions from my Uncle, I went back to Grandpa's farm to look for more of his bee equipment. It was where I was told, unfortunately the shed he kept it in collapsed several years ago on top of it. But there in the frozen snow and rotting wood was bee boxes and frames sticking up out of the mess. And guess what the first frame I pulled out was? A foundationless frame.
Seems like his apiary was cutting edge, 8 frame boxes, foundationless frames, Kelley type N slotted frames, basswood comb honey supers, and a drone trap.
I really wish he was still here now so we could discuss this new hobby for me. I really have learned alot about him the past few weekends going thru this old stuff.

Westlake Boys: 2012 ANZ Massey Economics Challenge
Westlake Boys recommended selling minority stakes in state-owned power companies – and using the funds generated to purchase majority stakes in key privately-owned power companies. Judge Simon Chapple, principal advisor at the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, said: "Your solution really stood out, and economists often quite like counter-intuitive solutions. However you need to be aware if you are going to go down the counter-intuitive route, if you are going to step outside the herd, then your argument has got to be doubly strong. You are going to be subject to a lot more criticism because you are not thinking like everyone else."

Game development proceeds apace.
(I've been meaning to use the word "apace" for a long time.)
So there's a new game demo development contest sponsored by Intel going on.
I started to work on something for the previous installment of the contest but failed to finish it before the deadline, even though I got a lot of coding done and, when the going got tough, didn't get much sleep for almost two months (while somehow managing to keep my day job). I shouldn't have gotten derailed experimenting with things that didn't add to the gameplay experience, like dynamic soft shadows.
But the biggest trap I got myself into was trying to work with other people, thinking that I wouldn't be able to handle everything by myself. "Artist" types. Hate them all. In the end they didn't get anything done other than complain and bug me about how they wouldn't be able to do anything unless I implemented normal mapping or whatever. I ended up doing the modeling myself (the player ship turned out okay for a coder, eh?), but by then it was already too late.
I've learned my lesson and will make it this year.
Why am I blogging about this here? It's not even a free software project. Ah well, I guess this is more topical than proclus' political ranting.

ReachLocal Drops 10%: Q4 Rev Misses, Surprise Net Loss; Q1 View Misses
Shares of local commerce listings provider ReachLocal (RLOC) are down $1.28, or 10%, at $11.40, in late trading, after the company this afternoon reported Q4 revenue that missed analysts' expectations; delivered a surprise net loss per share where the Street had been expecting a profit; forecast this quarter's revenue below consensus; and said 2014 will be a year of stepped-up spending.
Revenue in the three months ended in December rose almost 11%, year over year, to $132.9 million, yielding a net loss of 2 cents a share.
Analysts, on average, had been modeling $134.5 million and a 3-cent profit per share.
Interim CEO David Carlick "strong revenue growth" for the full year, in the company's international markets, and "solid" EBITDA growth, on an adjusted basis, "and a promising debut of our ReachEdge marketing automation product."
He noted the company's "complete realignment of our direct local sales force in North America," in December, with the intention of accelerating growth in North America.
The changes hurt the quarter's results, he said, "and will require increased investment in 2014," but "we believe these initiatives mark the transition of ReachLocal to a product-focused technology company with a significantly expanded market opportunity, serving the digital marketing needs of SMBs globally."
For the current quarter, the company sees revenue of $124 million to $126 million, below the average $137 million estimate.
For the full year, the company sees revenue of $580 million to $600 million, about in line with the average $591.7 million consensus.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DLS1213 from Lips Look & Feel Great I dislike most lip glosses. They feel unnatural and smell funny. EA gloss is much different. It sinks in so lips are full and soft. Just the color stays on top. Have several shade. Subtle hue.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Stumom from Love this lip gloss!!! I bought this to try it and I am so glad I did! It goes on easy, stays on long and has a great glossy look. Leaves my lips feeling smooth and soft. I bought the Latte color which turned out to be slightly lighter than I expected but I love it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by LindaA from My Favorite Lip Gloss I first got this gloss in a sample bag last year and fell in love with it. I like the light scent and how it softens my lips. The case has a small mirror on the side as well which is helpful when just carrying it in my coat pocket. My daughters are fans of it too! Precious Petel is my favorite color.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tyger from My favorite lip gloss The Royal Plum shade is my favorite lip gloss of all time. It has just the right amount of shine, provides moisture, isn't sticky and smells good. The color is incredibly flattering on me, to the point that I do not want to use ANY of my other 1000 lip glosses.

Sigma 30mm F2.8 DN A Sony
Further readings for the Sigma 30mm F2.8 DN A Sony
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
We've tested the image quality of the 24-Mpix Sony A6000 with over 23 zoom and prime lenses. Read on to find out which of those models perform best with Sony's current top-of-the-line APS-C mirrorless model.
We've analyzed the image quality of the 20-Mpix Sony A5000 with over 22 zooms and primes. Read on to find out which of those models you should be using with Sony's smallest and lightest mirrorless model.
Continuing our series of lens recommendations for new camera models, we've had the opportunity to assess the new entry-level Sony A3000 - the first of a new DSLR form-factor from the firm to adopt the mirrorless E-mount. We've assessed and collated data on a sizeable collection of Sony and third-party prime and zoom models to assess image quality. Read onto find out which of these models perform best when paired with the new camera.
Sigma's range of DN A lenses have been designed for mirrorless cameras using both MFT and APS-C sensors, albeit with different mounts. As the equivalent to a 45mm on an APS-C camera we've tested the 30mm f2.8 on the discerning Sony NEX-7. Read on to find out how well it performs.

New Art series seems inferior
The Swedish vendor Cyberphoto makes excellent real use reviews of cameras and lenses. Well before DxoMark's review, they found that the Art version was noticeably softer in the corners than the previous EX DN version. http://www.cyberphoto.se/info.php?article=si30mmnex

Weird test of Sigma 30mm ?
I don't believe to this test!
The new Art version of Sigma has absolutely the same optical design as the old version. The old version was tested by Dxomark and got 12-Mpix of sharpness where is the new version by Dxomark gets only 10-Mpix of sharpness. I suppose that there is a mistake or the copy of the new lens which was tested by Dxomark was defective.
The old version test : http://www.dxomark.com/Lenses/Sigma/Sigma-30mm-F28-EX-DN-Sony-E

Re: Weird test of Sigma 30mm ?
Thanks for your feedback, here is the comparison:
The 2 lenses are very close, a slight difference is noticed on sharpness measurement: the new version is slightly less sharp in the corner.
Results are very close, and should not impact the final image quality.
Best regards,
The DxOMark team

I think the excuse will be scheduling conflicts with some unnamed movie that will never happen. I would love to hear what you think the excuse will be. I could see illness but that would be tough because she won't be good at faking that because she will go out every night. I could see some kind of excuse that involved a conflict with the artistic direction of the play. Whatever happens it won't be her fault so it needs to be something in my opinion that will make her look like she is an in demand actress or they don't take her craft seriously or some kind of crap like that.

|Alma Mater:
|Ole Miss '96
|(919) 684-2635
Derek Jones joined the Blue Devil coaching staff in January of 2008 and coaches the cornerbacks. Jones also assists Jim Bridge with Duke's special teams units.
In 2015, a season-ending injury for returning starter Bryon Fields in August challenged Duke's cornerback group from the outset and Breon Borders led the youthful unit with 56 tackles, 4.0 tackles for loss and a team-high three interceptions while ranking ninth in the ACC in total passes defended per game (0.92). On the special teams front, Duke continued success in 2015 as both kicker Ross Martin and punter Will Monday garnered All-ACC honors for the fourth consecutive season. In addition, DeVon Edwards established school single-season (3) and career (6) records for kickoff returns for touchdowns while Shaun Wilson provided the Blue Devils with a spark by returning a kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl victory over Indiana.
In 2014, Jones helped cornerbacks Borders and Fields through their first year as starters. Borders led the Blue Devils with three interceptions and was second on the squad with nine passes defended. He added 39 tackles and one fumble recovery. An Academic All-ACC pick, Fields finished tied for fourth on the team with 70 tackles and tallied 2.5 tackles for lost yardage to go along with an interception return for a touchdown.
Duke enjoyed plenty of success on the special teams scene in 2014 with punt returner Jamison Crowder, Edwards, Martin and Monday each earning All-America honors. Crowder went on to be a fourth round selection by the Washington Redskins in the 2015 NFL Draft.
Jones was instrumental in the development of Ross Cockrell, who was selected in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills. A two-year team captain, Cockrell started 49 games at Duke and finished with 233 tackles, 12 interceptions and 42 pass breakups while twice earning first team All-ACC honors in 2012 and 2013. The Waxhaw, N.C., native departed the Blue Devil program as the school's all-time leader in total passes defended (54) and became the first defensive back to be drafted since 1996.
Also in 2013, Borders established the Duke single-season record for interceptions by a freshman (4) and set an ACC Championship Game record for interceptions with two against eventual national champion Florida State.
In 2012, Cockrell earned first team All-ACC and honorable mention All-America honors after posting 71 tackles, 4.0 tackles for loss, five interceptions and 13 pass breakups. The five interceptions were tops in the conference. In addition to Cockrell, safety Walt Canty also garnered All-ACC accolades in 2012, receiving a second team citation. Canty paced the Blue Devils in tackles with 109 while closing an outstanding 49-game career that included 262 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, three interceptions, 10 pass breakups and five caused fumbles.
In 2011, safety Matt Daniels — who signed with the NFL's St. Louis Rams in 2012 — was a first team All-ACC and second team All-America pick after registering 126 tackles.
Cockrell earned Freshman All-America accolades in 2010 after leading the Blue Devils with three interceptions while ranking second among ACC rookies in total passes defended (10). Also, five different defensive backs registered interceptions for the Blue Devils and Daniels ranked among the conference leaders in both tackles per game (6th; 7.8) and caused fumbles per game (2nd; 0.25).
One of Jones' pupils, Leon Wright, concluded an outstanding career in 2009 by earning honorable mention All-ACC honors after totaling 58 tackles, five interceptions and eight pass breakups. Wright was instrumental in Duke's 35-19 come-from-behind win at Army in week two of the 2009 season, returning two interceptions for touchdowns in the fourth quarter, and signed a free agent contract with the NFL's New York Giants in the spring of 2010.
Another cornerback under Jones' guidance, Chris Rwabukamba, was a fourth round draft selection of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the 2010 Canadian Football League Draft.
In 2008, the Blue Devil defense allowed 23.4 points per game – the lowest total in 20 seasons – and held three opponents to less than 10 points for the first time since 1976.
Prior to joining the Duke staff, Jones helped Memphis to a 7-6 overall record in 2007 – a five-game improvement in the win column from the previous year – with a berth in the New Orleans Bowl. One of Jones' pupils, LaKeitharun Ford, was named co-MVP of the squad after posting 45 tackles and two interceptions.
In 2006, Jones coached the cornerbacks at Tulsa as the Golden Hurricane ranked first in Conference USA in pass defense and total defense. Tulsa posted an 8-5 ledger that season and participated in the Armed Forces Bowl. Cornerback Nick Graham earned all-conference honors and later played with the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles.
Prior to joining the Tulsa staff, Jones worked one season (2005) as an assistant coach at Middle Tennessee State University where the Blue Raiders ranked 30th nationally against the pass.
Jones received his start in coaching at Ole Miss in 1998 as a graduate assistant for football operations and recruiting. He then served as a defensive graduate assistant coach in 1999 with the Rebels under current Duke head coach David Cutcliffe.
From 2000-04, Jones served as cornerbacks coach and recruiting coordinator at Murray State, mentoring seven all-conference selections in five years. The Racers enjoyed defensive success during Jones' tenure, leading the Ohio Valley Conference in pass defense in 2003 and, one year later, ranking 11th nationally in total defense and 23rd nationally in scoring defense.
A native of Woodruff, S.C., Jones lettered four seasons as a cornerback at Ole Miss from 1993-96. He was a two-time second team All-SEC pick, captained the Rebels in 1996 and was selected to play in the prestigious Blue-Gray All-Star Classic following his senior campaign. He also earned All-SEC accolades in track and field as a sprinter.
Jones received a degree in public administration from Ole Miss in 1996, and then played professionally with the Toronto Argonauts and Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian Football League and Nashville Kats of the Arena Football League. He and his wife, Naketa, have two daughters, Madison and Brooklyn Savannah. Jones has another daughter, Darquisha.

Housing as Medicine for HIV/AIDS - About HOPWA
December 1, 2009
It should come as no surprise that today isWorld AIDS Day.
It may, however, come as a surprise that there's an Office of HIV/AIDS Housing at theDepartment of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). More surprising, maybe, that the Office of HIV/AIDS Housing at HUD runs a program called Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS, abbreviated HOPWA.
Research has shown that it's hard for people – especially people with more economic challenges – to take the necessary steps to manage HIV/AIDS.
This probably doesn't come as a galloping shock – managing HIV/AIDS requires a strict regimen of a combination of retroviral agents (often three or more). Many people lack the capacity to access treatment, follow the required schedule, or have psychological and physical limitations that prevent them from properly treating the disease. People are also deterred by the various side effects of the treatment, which include lipodystrophy,dyslipidemia, the risk of birth defects, and insulin resistance. Perhaps most notably, the treatment is quite costly, and prohibitively expensive to most of the world's HIV/AIDS – afflicted population.
Research has also confirmed that stable housing, coupled with supportive services that are responsive to their complex needs, increases the ability of people living with HIV/AIDS to access and comply with HIV/AIDS treatment. This is especially true for poor and low-income people.
According to the National AIDS Housing Coalition:
It has been estimated that as many as half of all people living with HIV/AIDS will need housing assistance at some point in their illness. For many of those, short-term assistance with rent, mortgage, or utility costs alone will provide the necessary support to remain healthy and in stable housing. But others are struggling with multiple diagnoses of HIV and mental illness and/or substance use. Access to housing assistance and services is often further complicated by histories of incarceration, institutionalization, and homelessness. HOPWA housing assistance helps prevent homelessness and creates access to medical care and support services for individuals and families affected by HIV and AIDS.
This is where a program like HOPWA can really make a difference.
HOPWA is the only federal program that specifically targets the housing needs of people with HIV/AIDS and their families. Established in 1992, HOPWA provides funds to qualified state and local governments to help low-income people with AIDS and their families by providing:
- Short-term rental assistance;
- Mortgage and utility assistance to prevent homelessness;
- Facility-based assistance, including construction, rehabilitation, acquisition, operating costs, and supportive services.
As unlikely as the subject of housing might be in a discussion about HIV/AIDS, it's clear that stable housing – as well as complementary services and social support – are critical for those afflicted with HIV/AIDS. HOPWA provides qualifying individuals the assistance necessary to find stable housing.
Find out more about HOPWA on the Alliance website.

text: Alot of those "people" are so biased against Gordon that they were calling his deal $12 million to start even when logic dictated that it was all but impossible. I'm not worried about the defense. If the player and team gives effort, they will be alright. When Richard Hamilton was acquired he was called a horrible defender, while Jerry Stackhouse was labeled as "a rugged defender". Even though I almost wet myself laughing at that quote when I first read it, at the time it was widely regarded as true.
