Regularity of a Stochastic Fractional Delayed Reaction-Diffusion Equation Driven by Lévy Noise
Department of Mathematics, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha 410073, China

The current paper is devoted to the regularity of the mild solution for a stochastic fractional delayed reaction-diffusion equation driven by Lévy space-time white noise. By the Banach fixed point theorem, the existence and uniqueness of the mild solution are proved in the proper working function space which is affected by the delays. Furthermore, the time regularity and space regularity of the mild solution are established respectively. The main results show that both time regularity and space regularity of the mild solution depend on the regularity of initial value and the order of fractional operator. In particular, the time regularity is affected by the regularity of initial value with delays.

Doves' Jimi Goodwin announces debut solo album 'Odludek'
Following Jimi Goodwin's announcement that he'll be supporting Elbow on their April 2014 UK arena tour, we're very pleased to reveal details of his debut solo album, 'Odludek', which will be released on Heavenly Recordings on Monday 24th March 2014.
This is the first new music release from Jimi since Doves's Kingdom Of Rust in 2009 so it's set to be a very special release indeed. Listen to the forthcoming track 'Oh! Whiskey' below which is all kinds of brilliance, and stay tuned for details on how to pre-order the record!
Jimi on Odludek:
"I wanted to make this mad mixtape… the kind you'd pass back and forth with your mates; eclectic as fuck. That's the way we've all discovered music over the years isn't it? We join our own dots to make it all make sense. As I got into making the record, it felt like I was proving something to myself, making a point that I could do all this on my own. You know — I can play bass, I can play guitar, I can orchestrate. As the methods changed, the original concept stayed intact. It's me, powering through ideas, kapow kapow, no pause for breath. It's not trying to be wilfully eclectic; it's just a reflection of how I schizophrenically devour music."

This short horror game - which eschews traditional game mechanics in favour of exploration and abstract imagery - ostensibly tells the story of six young girls wandering into the woods and getting 'ravaged' by 'wolves'. While some took the Little Red Riding Hood theme as a metaphor for growing up, others feared that it was really a game in which you led young women towards sexual abuse and a grisly end. The developers suggested otherwise, but have never revealed an 'official' interpretation. Tale of Tales Back to image

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development has reversed its projection for growth in high-income countries to pick up speed next year and is now forecasting a substantial slowdown in the pace of expansion.
In a gloomy assessment of the global recovery from the worst downturn since the 1930s, the Paris-based agency warned that risks to the world economy were "substantial" and financial markets were "fragile".
Advanced economies are expected to expand just 2.3 per cent in 2011, down from a May projection of 2.8 per cent, the OECD said in a report yesterday. Global growth is forecast to slow to 4.2 per cent next year from 2.6 per cent in 2010.
The latest OECD forecasts highlight the deterioration that has occurred in the global economy in the past six months or so, as currency and trade tensions increase and signs emerge that the United States is at risk of tumbling into a double-dip recession.
Ireland's banking crisis has also rekindled concerns about sovereign debt risks in Europe, prompting a bond sell-off among the continent's more vulnerable economies.
"The global recovery has been under way for some time now, although unemployment remains persistently high in many countries," OECD chief economist Pier Carlo Padoan said.
"Growth has been much stronger in emerging market economies, but remains weak and uneven in much of the OECD, and has faltered recently," he said. "Global imbalances remain wide, and in some cases have started widening again, and there are rising concerns that they may threaten the recovery."
While the OECD said the softening in economic growth among its member economies was likely to prove only temporary, it warned that the risks to its forecasts were "deeper on the downside than on the upside".
"Output and trade growth have softened since the early part of the year, as temporary growth drivers, including the boost from fiscal support measures, have faded and not yet been fully replaced by self-sustaining growth dynamics," the agency said. "In the OECD economies at least, near-term growth appears unlikely to gain the momentum seen in earlier cyclical upturns."
The OECD's most dramatic forecast cuts were in its estimates for the US economy. Growth in the world's biggest economy was now expected to slow to 2.2 per cent in 2011 from 2.7 per cent this year, the OECD said.
Just six months ago, the agency was expecting the US economy to expand by 3.2 per cent both this year and next.
Japan's economic growth is predicted to slow to 1.7 per cent in 2011 from 3.7 per cent this year, while growth among the economies that share the euro currency is expected to be 1.7 per cent in both years.
"The global economy is continuing to recover, but progress has become more hesitant," the OECD said.
Weaker growth has hit global trade. The OECD estimates the annualised rate of trade growth slowed to about 9 per cent in the September quarter from more than 15 per cent in the first two quarters of 2010.
Trade growth is forecast to slip even more to an annualised rate of 7.25 per cent by the end of this year.
In contrast to the weakness expected in high-income economies, the OECD said that growth was robust among less developed countries.
China's economy is expected to grow 10.5 per cent this year and 9.7 per cent in 2011, almost three times as fast as the pace of expansion forecast for the 30 or so advanced economies that are members of the OECD.
"With the impact of the stimulus plan fading, China's vigorous expansion slowed during the first half of 2010, but has picked up somewhat since then," the OECD said. "This renewed buoyancy is projected to continue in 2011-12."
The downgrade in the OECD's global forecasts comes less than a month after the International Monetary Fund also cut its projections for world growth next year. The Washington-based IMF now expects growth in the global economy to slow to 4.2 per cent in 2011 from 4.8 per cent this year, and advanced economies are tipped to expand just 2.2 per cent next year from 2.7 per cent in 2010.
"The recovery remains vulnerable to shocks, and downside risks predominate," the IMF said in its World Economic Outlook, released in mid-October.
"Most advanced economies and a few emerging economies still face large adjustments. Their recoveries are proceeding at a sluggish pace, and high unemployment poses major social challenges."

A Painting spotted in a private sitting room at Lambeth Palace has been identified as a portrayal of Catherine of Aragon and reunited with one of her husband Henry VIII after nearly 500 years.
The work is now on loan to the National Portrait Gallery to hang beside a picture there of the six-times married king. Experts on a research visit to the Archbishop of Canterbury's residence noticed the portrait, which dates from about 1520-30 and was thought to be of Henry's final wife, Catherine Parr.
The researchers thought it was more like other pictures of Henry's Spanish first queen consort.
Renovation revealed the original and very rare Tudor decorative finish beneath layers of later paint. It has survived in its rare original frame and the similar composition, scale and date to the portrait of Henry suggests the pictures might have been a pair.
The works are both by unknown artists. Dr Charlotte Bolland, leading the gallery's research on art in Tudor Britain, said: "It is wonderful to have the opportunity to display this important early portrait.
"Henry and Catherine were married for nearly 24 years and their portraits would have been displayed together in this fashion."Reuse content

Reviews for this host's other properties
Very nice appartment exactly meeting our expectations. Site's description is perfect and Georges's support was indeed very nice and professional. Taxi driver was waiting for us with our name at the airport as expected.
We finally found the shortest way to walk to the tram which is about 15mn away from the appartment and very convinient when you want to visit Athenes and when it is around 35 to 38° outside! We do not mind walking a lot but frankly speaking taking the tram is very helpful.... we even took it to the beach and our recommandation is really to go at the very end of the tram and even take the bus (144) which drives you to very nice beaches... and even a very nice salty lake wher you can experience fishes eating your dead skins everywhere....
The only little thing to be mentioned is that we could run the washing machine while we were using the air conditioning.... but other than that, the appartment is really to be recommended!
I enjoyed the apartment very much. It is very comfortable and really well placed... and I must say (visiting much places here) that in my opinion this district is the most beautiful part of Athens. it is clean... it is green..... interesting coast - many different beaches from wide sand ones to even quite wild with rocks wonderful for snorkeling especially... quite close to Acropolis, Placa .... quite close to Piraeus (possibility of visiting some islands ) a lot of well equipped shops around... good communication... just everything perfect.
We recently stayed at this Penthouse apartment with pool in the center of Athens. The stay could not have been nicer. We were there with 6 kids and 5 adults total and the place was beyond spacious and comfortable. The roof deck with pool was the best part of the space - such a great amenity - and the direct view of the Acropolis was not bad either! The Owner was extremely helpful, and George arranged for drivers for our trip. A plus!
Very nice apartment close to all services : bakery, restaurants, pubs, and the beaches of course. You can easily walk to Lake Vouliagmeni (less than 10 minutes walk). Well equipped apartment with a pretty patio as shown on profile pictures.
We spent days in the vintage apartment and i fully recommend it to everyone. The apartment is well equipted. It is located outside but with public transport easy to go everywhere.
We had wonderful 5 days there! :)
I had never thought about the possibility of being able to book an apartment when traveling.
The network is Widmu I seemed rich and well articulated on Athens where we traveled for a stay June 21 to 26 ..
The apartment has lived up to our expectations and also reception services, check-out were good.
I think I will repeat the experience in other occasions
Non avevo mai pensato alla possibilità di poter prenotare un appartamento quando si viaggia.
La rete di Widmu mi é sembrata ricca e ben articolata su Atene dove abbiamo viaggiato per un soggiorno dal 21 al 26 giugno..
L'appartamento si è rivelato all'altezza delle nostre aspettative e anche i servizi di accoglienza, check-out sono stati buoni.
Penso che ripeteró l'esperienza in altre occasioni
The apartment was at the center of Athen. It was beautiful and it had everything what we needed for this trip. The coordination with George was funtastic. I will recommand it for sure !!!! :)
Contact person was on time at the apartment, training was short (without forgetting important) and friendly.
Very nice apartment, simply furnished but functional.
Had (unfortunately only two days) a very good time in a pleasant environment.
To Athens and tavernas and bars all to reach the beach, Einkaufsmöglichskeiten, tram on foot.
With great pleasure again.
Kontaktperson war pünktlich an der Wohnung, Einweisung war kurz (ohne wichtiges zu vergessen) und freundlich.
Sehr schöne Wohnung, einfach eingerichtet aber zweckmässig.
Hatten (leider nur zwei Tage) eine sehr schöne Zeit in angenehmer Umgebung.
Strand, Einkaufsmöglichskeiten, Strassenbahn nach Athen und Tavernen bzw. Bars alles zu Fuß zu erreichen.
Sehr gerne wieder.
I have been in the flat for 5 nights. The situation of the flat is okay. It's a little bit far to the centre but therefore it is really quite and there is an other centre/big streets with a lot of stores really near. Still, it doesn't take too long to get to the centre (Akropolis). Wheter you can take the bus/metro and it takes you 10-15min or you take a Taxi, which is also not expensive and only takes 10mins.
The elevator is helpful, the balcony is a nice place to sit and the room are also clean and well furnished. The wifi Router is directly next to the bed but still it is slow or sometimes not even usable.
All in all it was a great stay in Athens and I would totally recommend this flat.
Apartment address has been entered inaccurately - as Merarchias 0, 185 35 Pireas, Greece.

From a road and light trail use rig perspective this thing functions great in that aspect. It is much better then most rat rod jeeps where the front axle is simulated because it was simply easier to make it rwd.
I suppose if you prefer something that sits up on jack stands at shows with the axles chromed out then then a rusted rat rod with a patina covered grill that took years to get that look driving in off the street with dirt stains on the tires would seem like a wasted effort.
I personally Hate trailer queens. I understand the $$$ and the fact that most consider them "art" at a point. But as far as functionality goes it is still a car and built to be driven not pulled off a trailer, placed on a rug with a rope around it, and polished up despite never being in a condition where it would get dirty.

Sounds like one smart pitbull -- did EXACTLY what was needed.

Home invasion in Dayville
Posted Dec. 20, 2007
Dayville (WTNH) _ Police are looking for two men that stormed a Dayville home this morning while a father and his infant were inside.
It happened around 9:15 a.m. on Ballouville Road. Police say two suspects forced their way into the home, pushing the 20-year old victim to the ground and demanding money.
The victim's pit bull reportedly bit one the suspects and they fled, possibly in a black SUV.
Nothing was taken from the home.
The suspects are described as black males in their late 20s. They were wearing bandanas over their faces. If you have any information, please call Troop D at 860-779-4944.
About 30 miles from the house in a middle class neighborhood. All the more reason to stay armed in the house.

The most common unknown is that pit bulls are one of the most common breeds in shelters because THEY PASS THE TEMPERAMENT testS WITH FLYING COLORS! Moreso than any other breed, pits and bully breed-type dogs are the most successful when being tested for compatibility with humans. ...that doesn't mean they'll like other dogs, though :)
I've told all my friends this, but pits are the best dogs, hands down. Predictable as all get out. It doesn't matter what they act like, so long as the behavior is predictable, you as the owner can manage appropriately. Not only that, it's the only breed you can put your hands on when they're injured and not get bit...their horrible background is why that's bred in to them.
They're not outside dogs, though, I don't care what anybody says. Mine shivers uncontrollably on a 50-degree day and gets sick if left outside when it's cooler. Single-coat, short-haired dogs are worthless in the cold for long periods of time.
I maintain that the "killer pit bulls" that make the news are always raised by people who leave them outside, tied up, or both, and don't socialize. Stupid, cruel, or neglectful owners with this breed make a bad combination.
Pardon the rant, but the soap box comes out every time somebody says something good or bad about bully dogs.
I love my 55-lb muscle machine! It's like giving the wife a gun she can actually control, and snuggles pretty well, too.
Excellent. Hope there are some New York Strips on the dog's menu for excellent work.

it warms my heart to hear stories like this. my pit bull was a big baby, but he save my hide at least twice. i miss that dog...
I have 5 pit bulls and rescued them all. They would do anything for me! Im glad this story doesnt make the dog out to be the bad guy.
Breed specific legislation is to dogs what 'assault weapons bans' are to guns. The dog is not the problem, the owner who abuses the dog or uses it for criminal purposes or dog fighting is the problem.
Oh yeah? My Jack Russell can kick your pits behind.
Really though, most pits I run across are big babies... just like the rotts, GSD's etc.

Not really "up to date" but, I'm pretty sure the averages are still about the same. Though I'm guessing the overall #s have increased especially regarding the Pit since so many people own them now as compared to past years but, I agree that dogs ARE the direct reflection of their owners.
Facts & Stats about Dog Bites & Dog Aggression
There are approximately 4.5 million reported dog bites annually in the United States (nearly 2% of the American population). The majority of dog bites are never reported to local authorities.
40% of American dog owners acquired pets primarily for protection-including German shepherds, Rottweilers, mastiffs and Doberman pinschers. (Source: New York Times, 2/26/01)
Nationwide, U.S. Postal Service carriers suffered 3,423 dog attacks and bites in 2003.
According to the American Medical Association, dog bites are the second leading cause of childhood injury, surpassing playground accidents.
Dog bites to people of the male gender are approximately two times greater than the incidence involving females.
Dogs that are licensed with an identifiable owner are implicated in the vast majority of dog bites (compared with strays).
Dogs not known to the victim account for approximately 10 - 20% of all reported dog bites.
Dog between one and five years are involved in more dog bite incidences than dogs older than 6 years. Male dogs are more frequently involved when compared with female dogs.
Mixed breeds and not pure bred dogs are the type of dog most often involved in inflicting bites to people. The pure-bred dogs most often involved are German shepherds and Chow chows.
The list of breeds most involved in both bite injuries and fatalities changes from year to year and from one area of the country to another, depending on the popularity of the breed.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention document that a chained dog is 2.8 times more likely to bite than an unchained dog. Click here for a news story about a mauling of a 4 year old child by a chained pit bull
Canines not spayed or neutered are three times more likely to bite than sterilized ones.
Of the estimated 4.7 million people who were bitten by dogs in 1994, 800,000 sought medical care. Of these, 332,000 needed treatment in emergency rooms, and 6,000 were hospitalized. The average hospital stay for a dog-bite injury was 3.6 days.
Emergency room costs for dog bite victims in the United States was about $102 million in 1994, and overall direct medical costs was about $165 million.
The majority of dog bites to adult humans are inflicted to the lower extremities followed by bites to the upper extremities including the head, face and neck. For children, 77% of dog bite injuries are to facial areas.
According to the Insurance Information Institute, dog bites accounted for about one-quarter of all claims on homeowner's insurance, costing more than $321 million in 2003. In 2002, the latest year for which numbers are available, the average claim for a dog bite was $16,600.
Dog attacks account for one-third of all liability claims on homeowners' insurance policies. According to the Western Insurance Information Service, the insurance industry paid out more than $1 billion in dog-bite claims in 1998 alone.
From 1979 to 1996, dog attacks resulted in more than 300 human dog bite related deaths in the United States. Most of the victims were children.
Approximately 20 people die every year as a result of a dog attack in the United States. By far, the majority of the victims are children.
In the two year period from 1997 to 1998, twenty-seven people died as a result of dog bite attacks (18 in 1997, and 9 in 1998).
Annually in the United States there are approximately 20 human fatalities directly resulting from a dog attack; this number is miniscule compared with human fatalities caused by gunshot (approximately 12,000 annually), accidents (approximately 100,000 annually) or health related disease processes (click here for table) (Click here for commentary on this subject)
The breeds most often involved in fatal attacks are Rottweilers and Pit bulls.
In the United States, pit bulls make up one to three per cent of the overall dog population and cause more than 50 per cent of serious attacks.
Of the 27 people who died as a result of dog bite attacks in 1997 and 1998, 67% involved unrestrained dogs on the owner's property; 19% involved unrestrained dogs off the owner's property; 11% involved restrained dogs on the owner's property; and 4% involved a restrained dog off the owner's property.
Of the 27 people who died as a result of dog bite attacks during 1997 and 1998, 67% involved an attack by one dog; 19% involved an attack by two dogs; and 15% involved an attack by 3 or more dogs.
From 1979 to 1998, at least 25 breeds of dogs have been involved in bite related deaths. Pit Bulls and Rottweilers were involved in more than 50 percent of these incidences.
In a study reported by a retired professor from California State University at Chino, Robert Plum, it was found that one dog in 55 will bite someone seriously during the course of a year. With respect to breed differences in the tendency to inflict serious injury, Plumb estimates that when a pit bull bites a human, one in 16 (e.g. 1/16) will inflict serious injury; this contrasts with a ratio of 1/296 Dobermans, and 1/156 German shepherds.

[QUOTE=SIXTO;568432]Oh yeah? My Jack Russell can kick your pits behind.[QUOTE]
Heh, that's probably true. I doubt there's a stronger prey drive in the canine world than that of a JRT.
My son and his wife recently 'aquired' the sicklyest looking pitbull pup I've ever seen....skin, bones, and totaly lathargic. Four months later, several vet visits, and BUSHELS of the expensive puppy food....that dog is best family pet they could've gotten. Loves and plays with all the kids, very alert and watchful, and as much energy as my neighbors jack russell. Also the most well behaved pup too....He's my 'grandpup' so I make sure he gets spoiled when my boy brings him over.
Most of the pits I've been exposed too were wonderful family pets. It's the thugs who want a mean status symbol....that and "Michael Vick" syndrom of the SOB's who fight the dogs is where the bad breed status came from. Well also the inbreeding. I read somewhere that dalmations and poodles are the breeds most often involved in dog bites. I dunno anything about dalmations, but poodles are mean!
BRAVO ZULU on the pit protecting HIS pack!

Calling for "all hands on deck" to assist the economy, President Barack Obama is urging his Cabinet to identify ways to keep his administration relevant to people struggling in the up-and-down recovery. With two weeks left before delivering an economy-focused State of the Union address to Congress, Obama is picking up the pace of his jobs message and demonstrating how he can advance his economic agenda administratively and through his ability to coax action from important interest groups. "We're not just going to be waiting for legislation in order to make sure that we're providing Americans the kind of help they need.
I've got a pen and I've got a phone," Obama said Tuesday as he convened his first Cabinet meeting of the year. Obama continued: "And I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball forward in helping to make sure our kids are getting the best education possible, making sure that our businesses are getting the kind of support and help they need to grow and advance, to make sure that people are getting the skills that they need to get those jobs that our businesses are creating." Obama stated he wants to "advance a mission" in an effort to unify all Americans. "One of the things that I'm going to be talking to my Cabinet about is how do we use all the tools available to us, not just legislation, in order to advance a mission that I think unifies all Americans," Obama said. "The belief that everybody's got to take responsibility, everybody's got to work hard, but if you do, that you can support a family and meet the kinds of obligations that you have to yourself and your family, but also to your communities and your neighbors."

Focus 4F27E automatic trasmission question
Hey guys I was doing some research and I found that the stock 4f27e transmission is almost "maxed out " when it comes to torque capacity on a stock zetec. I was wondering if when ford put the 2.0 duratec in the focus in 2005 did they do anything to upgrade the torque capacity of the transmission seeing how the duratec has more power than the zetec. I read somewhere that ford.upgraded the clutch packs when they put in the duratec, is this true? I can't remember where I read it.
Posted via FF Mobile
Posted via FF Mobile The trans is rated for something like 150 ft/lbs to the wheels. Idk if they did, but they wouldnt really need to upgrade as the duratec is still not making that much power. From 2004-2005, the focus only gained like 6hp and 5ft lbs of tq. 08 it was slightly more, but still not enough that the trans wouldnt be able to handle it.

Windy is an augmented reality game that was announced by Motorola. The game is coming on October 29 th and it brings with it a very interesting design aesthetic, the brain child of Jan Pinkava. Jan released a short film (below) at a recent Qualcomm conference entitled "Windy Day". Windy Day made use of a technology called OpenSubDiv which was designed by Pixar Studios of Toy Story fame. OpenSubDiv is a method of real-time GPU rendering which, interestingly enough, comes from years of collaboration between Microsoft Research and Pixar.
What the video below will show you is a bunch of people using Moto X phones and not much else but near the end you will catch a few glimpses of what appears to be a game using some pretty cool-looking animated characters and settings. Not much else is known about Windy at this time other than the fact that it appears to be a Moto X exclusive. I suppose we'll all know more on October 29th. For now you can check out the video below.

From the Garage to the Boardroom:
The Steve Jobs Story
A Look at the Chairman of Apple Computer and Pixar
by Rick Munarriz (email@example.com)
Shortly after he was born in 1955, Steven Paul was adopted by Steve and Clara Jobs. He was raised in Mountain View, California, not too far from what would later become Silicon Valley.
Sensing that their son was not adjusting well at school, the family moved to Los Altos, where he attended Homestead High School. A technology buff at an early stage, and by some accounts a loner, Steve wound up working summers at Hewlett Packard (NYSE: HWP). It was there where he first met Steve "Woz" Wozniak. Woz was a gadget wizard and at the time he was perfecting an illegal blue box. The blue box would attach to a telephone and allow for free long distance calls. Steve helped Woz with a few blue box sales and a friendship was forged.
After graduating from Homestead, Steve enrolled at Reed College, a few hours north in Portland, Oregon. He struggled through his first semester before doing what many teenaged computer whizzes do -- he dropped out. It was the rebellious anti-establishment move of choice at the time. Woz, too, was a dropout and left the University of California at Berkeley without a diploma.
Steve worked a few odd jobs, including a summer stint at an apple orchard which would one day serve as the inspiration for Apple Computer (Nasdaq: AAPL). In 1974 he joined his friend Steve "Woz" Wozniak at Atari. Developing video games for the console powerhouse should have been fulfilling for the tech-inspired duo, but it proved to be short-lived. Steve only wanted to save up enough money to pay for an excursion to India. Once he did, he moved on. Woz tired as well and went back to Hewlett Packard.
When Steve returned to California after his spiritual expedition to India, he began to attend meetings of Woz's Homebrew Computer Club. At Steve's urging, Woz eventually left his position at Hewlett Packard for a more exciting venture. Steve and Woz turned the Job family's garage into a workshop and set out to build a personal computer.
Steve was just 21 years old. Woz was five years his senior. What the elder had in technological proficiency Steve made up for in business smarts and ambition. Without the luxury of venture capital, the two gave up their most prized possessions to fund the company. Steve sold his Volkswagen. Woz ditched his prized scientific calculator.
After a year of garage toil the Apple I was born. The first sale was for a few dozen machines to the nearby Byte Shop. Despite its limitations (the computer had all of 4k of memory) it became one of the first personal computers to be mass-produced. Marketed at the demonic price of $666, sales of the monitorless computer (it plugged into the back of television sets) ran just shy of the million dollar mark.
Soon the Apple II was rolled out and became a huge success. Steve sought out a new market -- school children. He saw children as potential long-term Apple customers and set out to place Apple systems in schools. By this time IBM (NYSE: IBM) had entered the personal computer market. Steve managed to beat IBM to the classroom, but Apple would eventually lose its stronghold.
Three years later, riding a wave of pioneering success, Apple Computer was taken public by Hambrecht & Quist and Morgan Stanley -- providing Steve and Woz the means to buy all the VW vans and HP scientific calculators that money can buy. The shares were priced at $22 and popped to $29 on the first trading day, giving the company a market capitalization of just over $1 billion.
While the company would continue to flourish, including the Macintosh rollout just four years later, both Woz and Steve would eventually get weeded out of the very company they had founded. It all started in 1983 when Steve convinced John Sculley to leave Pepsi (NYSE: PEP) and become Apple's president. "If you stay at Pepsi, five years from now all you'll have accomplished is selling a lot more sugar water to kids," Steve said. "If you come to Apple you can change the world."
Sculley may not have changed the world in general, but he did change Steve's world as he had come to know it. While the two had initially hit it off, soon their differences became apparent. Sculley was a purist businessman who saw Steve as a counterculture liability. Steve grew to see Sculley as incapable of understanding the computer industry. In 1985, just a few months after Woz left the company, a power struggle ensued and Steve lost.
Steve took some time off to travel through Europe, pondering his next step. Inspired by a lack of high-end computerized machinery he formed NeXT. The hardware company proved to be a bigger failure than the ill-fated Apple III, but there was promise in the operating system.
In 1996, three years after Sculley resigned from Apple, the company bought out the remains of NeXT, a move to get Steve back into the company's good graces. Steve was already being lauded as a visionary, mostly on the heels of his 1986 majority stake purchase of the computer-animation studio Pixar (Nasdaq: PIXR) from George Lucas. Steve had helped cut a production deal with Disney (NYSE: DIS) and after Pixar's 1995 Toy Story became the second-highest grossing animated feature film of all time he got Disney to sweeten the pot.
Apple investors cheered the return of Jobs. Initially brought on as a consultant and interim-chairman, he has stripped the "interim" prefix to lead the company permanently.
That is where Steve is today, living a dual life. He is actively overseeing Apple's return to consistent profitability on the heels of the successful iMac and G3 system introductions. Since he has rejoined Apple the shares have regained their winning ways. Meanwhile he continues to monitor his investment in Pixar as it readies for the home video release and first Disney-animated DVD release of A Bug's Life in April and the theatrical release of Toy Story II for the holiday season.
Like the iMac, Steve's life has been a very colorful adventure. Like Toy Story's Buzz Lightyear, it might very well be "to infinity and beyond."
We've only scratched the surface here on the dynamic life of Steve Jobs. For some further information, we suggest reading Apple : The Inside Story of Intrigue, Egomania, and Business Blunders. For a brief online reference that was instrumental in this feature's research try The Steve Jobs Helipad.

How much battery power / capacity
It looks like I will VERY soon need to replace four of my Trojan T-105 6 Volt golf cart type batteries that are 8 yeras old and do not keep the charge any more. 13.4V to 12.3V with all lights and stereo running for two hours? I can not see the capacity rating but according to salesperson new Trojan T-105 has 225 AmpH capacity.
I do have to confess that although batteries are 8 years old i did neglect them for a while and last October found them drying out having to fill in almosta quart of distill water in each which might have caused the drop in performance.
I use my boat mainly for daysail and sometime for a long weekend, using stereo, lights and nav instruments. No big consumers onboard. What sort of capacity you would recommend?
The batteries aren't probably in all that bad a shape. A fully charge 12 VDC bank, even one made up of four T105 GC batteries, in two sets of two, will only be 12.6-12.7 VDC at 100% charge. Depending on what kind of lights and stereo you have, it could very well be that you drop them from 12.6/7 to 12.3 volts in two hours.
Letting them dry out was probably not very good for them. What I would recommend you do before biting the bullet and buying new batteries, is to get a good hydrometer and charge the batteries fully, then disconnect the cables and let them sit for an hour or so... then check the individual cells to see what the specific gravity is of each cell. If they're all about the same and come up as fully charged... They're probably okay. It might be that one of the batteries has a bad cell, and that would bring all four down rather quickly.
I would try to put an Equalizing charge on them before giving up...but a pair of T105's WILL provide 225AH's at 12Volts. This means you have 115 ah's or so to work with before you need to recharge. (12.2V at rest.)
"All lights and stereo running" is hard to make a judgement about...but let us assume 3 amps for the stereo and 7 amps for a few lights and you have 20 amp hours used in 2 hours...not nearly enough to pull your battery down to 12.3 if it was in good shape.
But...it does seem like a pair of T-105's is sufficient for your weekending if refrigeration or other big amp users are not on board. I'd keep it simple and replace with the same if you can't revive the old ones.
I agree with Cam that it would be worthwhile equalizing the batteries first to see what improvement might occur. I also agree that if/when you decide to replace them, it probably makes most sense to replace them in-kind, i.e., T-105s. They can produce enough for your needs.
However, I would caution you about drawing too many conclusions based on voltage decay alone. In particular, older batteries which have not been equalized and which have not been exercised (drawn down to 50% or so, and fully recharged a few times) may exhibit exactly the type of behavior you're seeing. What's instructive is that they have a great deal more energy left after reaching the 12.3 volts under a modest 10-20A load. See, for example, what this 225AH gelled bank did with only a 10A load. http://gallery.wdsg.com/Misc-Stuff-S...PhaseII?full=1
It reached 12.3V after about 180mins, then took another couple of hours to reach 12.0v and a lot longer to get to 11.5 volts under load. The curves for T-105s under load were very similar, and were uniformly at lower voltages (gelled and AGM batteries produce slightly higher voltages than do flooded batteries).
Another data point: I have six T-105s on my boat in a single bank which are 2 years old. They have been well treated, kept at 13.2V floating with a Victron charger while at dockside, and never discharged below 12.2v under load and never run dry. Yet with only a very modest load they will drop from 13.2v to 12.3 or 12.4 volts in just 20-30 minutes. This is because they haven't been exercised since September and haven't been equalized. I expect (and hope) that as the spring cruising season gets underway and the batteries get exercised they will show much better "staying power". This has always been the case in the past (I've used T-105s for over a decade).
That said, at eight years your T-105s have most likely exceeded their useful life. And, yes, letting them run dry will do damage rather quickly. I'd therefore consider replacing them before you do any serious sailing.
Hope this helps a bit.

text: ...perhaps part of that is because I've owned Lexus since 1995, and the way each has worked has been similar. Sometimes there are refinements and tweaks in new models, but generally for the better. I appreciate having a limited number of options how things can be customized, as I like the generally well-thought out set of tweaks that can be made, vs having so many options it becomes overly complex and bloated (I could insert a couple analogies here as to why I switched from PC/Windows to my Mac/OSX environment a couple years back because of that, or that Lexus and some of us here on CL have a big enough problem already with owners that don't read or complain about the lengthy manuals. ) For the last few years I've also had a 2nd mfgr vehicle in my stable -- most recently my 2014 MBZ. I went into that knowing some things would operate differently between my two vehicles -- IMO, some for the good, some for the bad, and some differences that just keep me on my toes as I switch between the two.

Jul 7, 2013 - StaffCharlotte M. Fehlauer died Thursday, July 4, 2013, at her home in Sandy, Utah, following a lengthy illness.
She was 91 years old.
Funeral services will be Friday, July 12, at Bethel Lutheran Church, 626 Shoshone St., Lander. The Rev. Fredrick Schroeder will officiate.
Visitation with the family begins at 10 a.m., and the funeral service follows at 11 a.m.
Interment will be at Mount Hope Cemetery in Lander.
Charlotte Marie Fehlauer was born Aug. 18, 1921, in Marion, Kan., the daughter of the Rev. Charles C. F. Weidensaul and Mary A. nee Hayen.
During her childhood, she lived in many communities in Nebraska, Oklahoma and Kansas. Being the daughter of a minister who moved often, she said that she felt like a vagabond.
She attended the University of Kansas at Lawrence from 1939 to 1942 and always was a proud alumna and faithful fan of KU sports.
She met her husband, Gerhard Paul (Gary) Fehlauer, while working in Kansas City, Kan. Mr. Fehlauer was studying at the Central Radio and TV School. They married Feb. 12, 1948, in Eudora, Kan.
In 1949, the couple moved to Riverton, where Mr. Fehlauer was employed by KWRL radio.
In 1950, they moved to Lander where he worked as engineer/announcer for KOVE radio.
In addition to raising her family, Mrs. Fehlauer worked as secretary for the attorney Frank Hays and for insurance firms as well.
In 1958, the couple opened Gary's TV and Music. They operated the business together.
Mrs. Fehlauer continued to operate the family business until 1989.
She moved to Sandy, Utah, in 1995 to be close to her son Steve and his family. There, she completed her years as loving mother and grandmother.
Mrs. Fehlauer was a founding member of Bethel Lutheran Church of Lander.
She was active in many of the congregation groups and offices.
Her family said she was an avid sports fan.
She once said, "I think that the reason I like outdoor sports so much is because I understand them, as I had to play them with my brothers or play by myself. I never had much chance to play dolls as most girls do."
Her family said she also loved to sing and had a beautiful soprano voice. Her family was talented musically, and music was a foundation in their lives and worship.
She is survived by her three sons, the Rev. Donald Fehlauer of Fort Atkinson, Wis., James Fehlauer of Sydney, Mont., and Dr. C. Steven Fehlauer of Sandy, Utah; nine grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; brothers William "Bill" Weidensaul of Augusta, Kan., Herbert Weidensaul of Lawrence, Kan., and James Weidensaul of Lititz, Pa.; and sister Carol Velez of Cheyenne.
She was preceded in death by her parents, the Rev. Charles C.F. and Mary A. Weidensaul; brother Donald Weidensaul; and husband Gerhard Paul "Gary" Fehlauer.

More funding is needed for research into the diagnosis and treatment of patients suffering from high dose radiation exposure, according to the Health Protection Agency.
At the request of the Department of Health, the report by an independent expert Advisory Group to the HPA, addresses specific issues concerning the medical management of radiation accidents and incidents. The report highlights the need to maintain sufficient clinical expertise in the UK to deal with any events involving high radiation doses and notes a worrying decline in the number of radiation biologists and clinicians working in these fields. The Advisory Group recommends that action should be taken to increase numbers.
The report also states that further work is needed for the UK to have adequate facilities to cope with a large, high dose radiation incident. Resources are required to ensure there are appropriate central or local organisation structures to deal with incidents - whether accidental or deliberate - where large numbers of people could suffer significant radiation exposure.
Professor Bryn Bridges, OBE, chairman of AGIR, said: "This report provides a valuable compilation of the requirements for the effective medical management of a major high dose radiation incident. Our study has identified a worrying reduction in relevant UK clinician and researcher expertise. The recommendations were tailored to direct resources appropriately to ensure UK capacity to handle an incident does not fall below a critical level."
Following the detailed review of the science, the report makes several recommendations on how the UK could improve the diagnosis of radiation damaged patients, the treatment of patients suffering the physical and psychological effects of a radiation incident, as well as the future training needs of clinicians.
The Agency's Chief Executive, Justin McCracken, said: "The Advisory Group's report is a valuable contribution to the science of high radiation doses. The observations made about the level of expertise in the UK have been considered by the Agency and raised with the Department of Health. It is important to maintain an appropriate level of medical expertise in the country."

A Bump in U.S. Births Is Predicted
Summary: Fertility forecasters predict a bump in U.S. births—possibly predicting a bump in people's optimism about their economic future as well.
By Joanne Van Zuidam | Posted: August 5, 2013
After bottoming out in 2010, the number of U.S. births are increasing and expected to rise again this year. That's according to a new report from Demographic Intelligence, a forecasting firm based in Charlottesville, VA. According to the report, the country's total fertility rate is projected to rise from a 25-year low of 1.89 births per woman in 2012 to 1.90 in 2013.
"The United States has seen marked declines in childbearing in the wake of the Great Recession, but we think that this fertility decline is now over," said Sam Sturgeon, president of Demographic Intelligence said in a company statement. "As the economy rebounds and women have the children they postponed immediately after the Great Recession, we are seeing an uptick in U.S. fertility."
The fertility rate "says something about people's optimism for the future — their optimism about their economic circumstances," demographer Mark Mather of the not-for-profit Population Reference Bureau told USA Today.
"It is quite possible that we'll see a bump in the fertility rate since the economy is improving and people are feeling better about jobs," Mather said.
Historically, fertility rates cycle with the economy. For example, the During the Great Depression, fertility rates dropped. And the Great Recession was no exception. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the fertility rate in 2012 was 63.2 births per 1,000 women. This rate had steadily declined from its recent high of 69.3 births per 1,000 women in 2007 (though, notably, it slowed from 2010-2011 and remained unchanged from 2011-2012).
While that is good news, it should be noted that Demographic Intelligence's total fertility rate is a hypothetical rate — to calculate it, the analysts looked at statistics published by the CDC as well as past and current economic and other indicators to make the prediction.
It shouldn't come as much of a surprise that in a down economy, people have less babies. After all, finances do play a big part of family planning. But, let's keep our fingers crossed on this prediction — a surge in U.S. births signaling a surge in the economy? That's welcome news for everyone, expecting or not.

They are aloud to do dangerous things all around the world. They are called semagers. If Semagers work hard enough they receive points and higher ranks for their successes in morbid and dangerous tasks. They are able to commit crimes at any given time and instead of being discouraged from these practices, there culture is passed on from family member to family member right through supper time. They control their world through a plastic/electric source telling people exactly what to do. The world is in the Semagers hands.
Semagers thrive on murder and destruction. Going into detail they use many different methods for killing. They like bashing in heads with baseball bats, blowing people up with small handheld bombs, and cutting people up with large machines that have chains on them. There is no end to their murderous rampages unless they get killed. But even then they never completely die they have unlimited lives with the flick of a switch.
People as young as six go flying around racetracks at two hundred miles an hour without a license or any experience. They cause crashes and serious destruction to the other racers involved. Death is inevitable when these Semager children are allowed to drive.
People never trained as warriors are allowed to be heads or of great importance to secretive missions of war. They control these operations with absolutely no knowledge of what is going on. If they fail many will die and they will also loose there life. Unfortunately none of this matters because they can do it all over again with different and less difficult military tasks.
