I have just returned from the Annual International Nortel Networks Users Association (INNUA) Meeting in Pittsburgh, PA. At the event, I was again struck by the loyalty of the Nortel customer base. There were 1,500 some in attendance. I saw Nortel customers and partners who hailed from Boston to San Francisco and as far away as Denmark, India, and Brazil. Nortel had a group of nearly 250 partners from the Carribean and Latin America in town for training as well. Attendance was down considerably (nearly cut in half) compared to last year, but those who were in attendance were serious – considering their options and Nortel's future. While Nortel compared their history to Pittsburgh's – a gritty town with staying power that has reinvented itself for the new economy – customers really wanted to know about the future. Nortel preferred to focus on comparisons to the six time World Champion Pittsburgh Steelers – customers wanted to compare then to the Pittsburgh Penguins wondering whether they could pull off one more win to take the Cup.

...represents a real opportunity for M&A services providers. While conducting my research into the M&A and broader corporate strategy services space, I observed that business intelligence and performance management (BI&PM) programs are still very high on the executive agenda. Increased investment in analytic capabilities, as well as moves to becoming more sophisticated and transparent, will lead to the end of the highly diversified organization. Why? With these new capabilities companies will have a better picture of their portfolio and will be able to more wisely invest/divest into core/non-core-related assets. In the next 4-5 years we will see -- induced/accelerated by the recession -- that companies will move closer again to their core business, and not only for cost reasons. Hence BI&PM will fuel M&A activity and also lead to better M&As. I am postulating that there is a positive correlation between "analytic maturity " and " M&A maturity".

15 reviews | 3.8 out of 5
this bike was just begging me to ride it when i first laid eyes on it. becuase there weren't many good thorough reviews about this bike, i was a bit skeptical. though i must say, that so far this bike rides like a charm.
PROS:though the package was small for this bike, it was packaged well and neatly. the suspensions really works and it gave me a smooth ride on rough terrain. the craftsmanship on the bike is good; i don't see any sloppy work on it and the yellow/black paint really makes this bike special! the bike comes partially preassembled with everything except the front wheel, the saddle(seat#, paddles, and the handle bars. the brakes works flawlessly. just a fun bike to ride!
CONS: the only problems i had with the bike #not the bikes fault# was that the bikes' frame is just a bit too big for me #i'm 5'8" 200lb## but it's not enough for me to return it for a refund; it's manageable# this bike also took me 2 hours to assemble, but that was because i'm a novice when it comes to bikes# if you know what you're doing, it should take you less than 20 minutes to get it assembled# even after it's all assembled, i highly reccommend having the bike fine tuned at your local bike shop# professionals can adjust everything to perfection so that everything runs smoothly #such as your shifting gear## another thing too, dual/full suspension bikes are not good nor are they meant for uphills# paddling up will wear you out so avoid uphills when possible#
VERDICT: money well spent! this bike is a MUST HAVE for those who are on a budget, though i prefer you to NOT get this bike because i want to be unique =P the bike is sturdy and i think it'll last a very long time if you constantly maintenaince it# even though there are a few cheap parts, you have to consider that this is a budget bike# the good thing is, you can upgrade those cheap parts when you have the money# i hope this review was helpful =)
I own one of these and I love it. Its perfect for trail rides and just riding down the street. The black and yellow really make it stick out from your regular run of the mill bike too. I'm really happy with it.
Bought this bike, 2 of them for my wife and I , shipped to Africa and I can say, going on six months we are now avid riders.
Great suspension. Smooth transmission . Definitely a great buy
I know bikes, for a non professional bike it is about as good as you are going to get for the money spent. I can't relate to some of the other reviews...packaging was great, assembly was easy, performance very good. My wife and I both love the bike.
MTB is not a stock item, it's shipped to store from manufacturer.
Bike arrived with a cracked & bent disc brake, which manufacturer sent replacement disc for free via priority mail.
Derailuer was not functional when MTB was put together, had to pay out of pocket for a local bike shop to fix & make sure it was properly put together.
Would definitely recommend upgrading tubes, pedals if you want to use it for anything other than biking around a neighborhood.
Its a very nice bike, should have metal pedals...pedal broke after 2nd time ridding
The first Titan Glacier came in and I had Walmart assemble it prior to pickup. They called and said a part was broken and they could not repair it. I got a refund. I ordered a second Titan Glacier several weeks later from a different Walmart. Again, I had Walmart assemble it. When I picked it up, I noticed it would only shift onto 2 of the three front sprockets. I have adjusted these before so I took it home. Turns our the threads on the bracket were stripped out so the adjusting screws would not function properly. I promptly returned the bike. Two out of two bad bikes tells me not to order another one.
I did not purchase this bike, but have thoroughly checked it out. I am experienced with mountain bikes, and have owned a wide range of bikes over the years. As a general rule, full suspension bikes in this price range are VERY poorly made and use VERY low end components. This bike is no exception. The components are what you generally find on a sub $100 bike. The plastic pedals are laughable. This bike is also excessively heavy, but also looks like it wouldn't handle much abuse. I certainly wouldn't want to take this out on any trails. For this bike's price, you'd be MUCH better off with a hard tail(front suspension only) bike.
Too heavy for me I returned it
I bought this for my daughter who wanted a yellow mountain bike, she had a yellow mountain bike she grew out of. we were looking to replace it with a bigger better one, she is still growing at 5'9 1/2" now it fits her with the seat in the lowest position. I rated this with 4 stars because while I (mom) was able to assemble this with no prob. w/out instructions, for most people the directions would be difficult to follow from what I looked at after I assembled it. Overall she loves the bike, it is a very nice looking bike.
I love it!! It had a few scratches but very minor. Very beautiful bike for a person that like sports and riding etc. Only problem was I tried to put it together by myself an kindof screwed up the front wheel and messedup some part on it. Now I have to pay more out of my pocket to get the bike fixed that I screwed up. But other than that the bike is wonderful. I would highly recommend it for mature adults.
My bike had a very bad scratch on the paint. I was very disappointed !
Could not give my daughter her Christmas present because we received instructions for a different bike and were missing parts.
Have used bike for a week I'm pleased with it.

Hide lines
new to me are the feelings that I am now experiencing. I remember last
night leaving the Hostel in Prague, in a city that I have become very
familiar with, what was at first a sense of fear. Fear of going to
someplace new and on my own. But, just minutes later, before getting on
the tram to the rail station fear and doubt turn into excitement and
adventure. I was on my way to yet another new adventure.
Boarding the train, found an unoccupied cabin, locked my backpack and
shoulder bag to the overhead rack, waited for the conductor to come by
to stamp my ticket, then laid across the seats to read before falling
asleep. Around the the halfway point, I was awaken by another
conductor. She looked at the ticket and said, "no Krakow", and then
left. I got up a put my things together as it dawned on me, that
I would need to move up towards the front of the train, the part of the
train that was going all the way through to Krakow. As I left the cabin
another conductor signaled to me that I needed to move up 5 cars.
Disaster, or at least an interesting unplanned adventure, avoided. How
interesting it
would of been waking up somewhere around the Polish boarder on a train car with no engine!
Anyway after a nap, I went out for some initial exploring, getting to understand the trams, finding the old town, etc.
wanna blend in like a local in Poland. Park your car on a
sidewalk as far off the street as possible! It is so unlike Prague,
where parking tickets are written on parked cars for any reason, even
reasons I could not figure out.
One thing for sure, my head is surely about to
unscrew itself off, Damn, these Polish women are put together very nicely. Talk about neck whiplash!
Time for dinner.

Belding teen with arthritis finds strength and courage in family, friends
BELDING — Jayde Stevens, 15, was barely 3 years old when she was first diagnosed with systemic juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.
Although the disease can be devastating, Jayde's particular case wasn't as bad as some, at least at first. For more than 10 years, her symptoms were minor and could for the most part be managed.
It wasn't until last July that things took a dark turn. With no warning — and no obvious cause — Jayde began experiencing crippling arthritis flare-ups that left her in excruciating pain, unable to perform even the simplest tasks.
In a matter of weeks the athletic, active teenager went from running track and field events to being unable to navigate a flight of stairs unassisted.
Doctors desperate to ease her agony prescribed a host of painkillers — steroids, morphine, Vicodin — which eventually caused Jayde's kidneys to go into complete failure. For months, Jayde was in and out of hospitals, doctors' offices and emergency rooms. All the while, the pain continued.
Disease worsens in January
Because of insurance issues, Jayde's wait to see a doctor specializing in juvenile arthritis lasted from March until November.According to Jayde's mother, Becky Stevens, the situation came to a head in January. By then her daughter could barely walk and was taken to the hospital.
"She managed to shuffle into the emergency room," Becky Stevens says. "They gave her morphine for the pain but it did nothing. Then they tried Dilaudid and within 10 minutes she had her first grand mal seizure. Her muscles contracted so tightly that she broke the tip of her finger. She was screaming in pain."
That seizure, it turned out, was to be the first of many. Since then, Jayde has experienced what her father, Mike Stevens, calls her "episodes" at least once every three days, often more frequently.
Meanwhile, the disease continued to worsen. At present, Jayde is facing the certainty of hip and jaw joint replacement surgeries with more surgeries likely to come.
"Eventually, I'll be in a wheelchair," Jayde said in a matter-of-fact tone. "I don't know when. It could be next year or it could be in 10 years. I've learned to accept it because that's just the way my body is. I figure it could be worse; it could be cancer or something that would kill me."
Trying to stay positive
Jayde admits that maintaining this positive outlook isn't always easy. The pain from medication, the arthritis itself and weekly chemotherapy treatments can't help but take their toll on the normally cheerful girl. She grows pensive when explaining the ways the disease has changed her life.
"This isn't how I imagined my life would be," Jayde said. "I planned on being a more normal teenager. I thought I'd be like everyone else, but now I'm totally reliant on everyone else to accommodate me. Sometimes it is so humiliating, like when I can't get out of the shower by myself and have to call my mom or dad to help me because my legs don't work or I can't move my arms. I thought I would be driving by now and going out with my friends. I always feel there are limitations on everything I do."
Jayde's brush with self-pity is short-lived, however. She's just not the type to indulge in pathos, regardless of circumstances. And she knows she's not in this alone. Throughout her ordeal, Jayde has found hope and strength not only in the love and support of her family, but her friends and community as well.
"I still have tons of friends," Jayde said. "Even though I'm on chemo I haven't had anyone make fun of me for losing my hair. Everyone at school has been great."
School family helps out
The staff and administration of Jayde's school — Grattan Academy High School — have gone the extra mile in an effort to accommodate Jayde's special needs, providing a small room where she can get the rest she requires mid-day.
Her teachers have done their part to help Jayde keep up with her schoolwork, though her treatment regimen often forces her to miss days or even weeks of class time. The school has hosted fundraising events to help the Stevens family deal with the ongoing expenses associated with Jayde's disease.
One of these fundraisers is slated for 5 to 8:30 p.m. Monday at the high school. The event is open to the public. Additionally, the school office is available during school hours to those wishing to make a financial donation.
"The school has been amazing," Mike Stevens said. "They've been incredibly supportive."
Though her battle with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis will likely continue throughout Jayde's lifetime and the pain will never go away entirely, she remains hopeful. Her circumstances may be extraordinary, but for all that she remains, at heart, a typical teenager.
"I'm hoping they find the right blend of meds; if they do, I might be able to get back into normal clothes," Jayde says. "Right now I'm stuck in sweat pants because I swell up so easily. Normal clothes, that's my goal."

Using a 65 year old family recipe!
Proud to be a family owned business!
The Best BBQ in Eastern North Carolina!
White Swan Bar-B-Q features award winning, genuine Eastern North Carolina pork barbecue. Made from a 50 year old secret family recipe, White Swan Bar-B-Que has been voted one of the top 25 Bar-B-Qs in the Southeast. Eastern North Carolina Bar-B-Q is unlike any other in the world. It's a taste that you must experience. Our Bar-B-Q is made with a vinegar and spice sauce which enhances the smoked flavor of the fresh pork. The pork is slowly cooked in a covered cooker which holds in the smoked flavor. The meat is then chopped and ready to eat. Great on sandwiches in a hamburger bun with cold slaw or by itself, there is no other Bar-B-Q like it.
Platter items include the best pork Bar-B-Q, Fried Chicken, Fried Shrimp, and other side dishes! Try the Brunswick stew, boiled potatoes, coleslaw, french fries, and fried pork skins. And of course, a basket of the White Swan's celebrated hushpuppies are served with each platter. Private dining facilities for groups of up to 50 people are available. We also offer a variety of catering platters to take your party or event to the next level!
White Swan Bar-B-Que offers six locations across Eastern North Carolina to better serve you.
"Our philosophy is to keep the good food coming. With six restaurants we serve a lot of pork. Whether it's a pulled pork sandwich or 'An Old Timers Tray' our pork is award winning. In fact, Chili Pepper magazine voted us one of the best barbecue restaurants in the United States! It's all about the quality of the meat (and our 50 year old recipe.)"

Rob Kerr / The Bulletin
The recently renovated 18 NW Oregon Avenue building in downtown Bend features a prominent solar array, along with other energy-saving upgrades, according to Seth Anderson, Ambient Architecture principal architect.
Charlie Fisher, at podium, field organizer for Environment Oregon, spoke at a news conference Tuesday about policies that would help Oregon regain its place among the top states for the adoption of solar energy. Other solar advocates, from the left, Mike Riley, executive director of The Environmental Center; Ambient Architecture architects Travis Smith and Seth Anderson and Sunlight Solar President Paul Israel.
The solar array, installed by Sunlight Solar of Bend on the 18 NW Oregon Avenue building, became part of the architectural design for the renovated building, said Seth Anderson, Ambient Architecture principal architect.
Call for polices to promote solar and make Oregon a national leader
Photos by Rob Kerr • The Bulletin
Jan 8, 2014 at 06:29AM
Using the recently remodeled 18 N.W. Oregon Ave. building in downtown Bend as their stage, solar energy advocates gathered Tuesday to push for policies to help Oregon regain its ranking among the nation's top states for the adoption of solar energy. Oregon ranked 13th in the report "Lighting the way: What we can learn from America's top 12 solar states," released in July by Environment America. The top 12 states had higher percentages of installed solar per capita in 2012 than Oregon. Advocates say government policies that promote solar can push the state back among the top.

The Falcons pass rush will have a little less bite against the 49ers in the NFC Championship on Sunday. The Falcons only double-digit sack producer, John Abraham, is questionable, but expects to play.
The Atlanta Falcons struggled to create pressure all season, finishing 28th in the NFL with only 29 sacks, and with their primary pass rusher Abraham limited with an ankle injury, creating pressure against the 49ers outstanding offensive line may be a problem.
Against the Seahawks last week, the Falcons managed two sacks, both from defensive tackles. The Falcons defensive tackles face 49ers Pro-Bowl guard Mike Iupati and center Jonathan Goodwin, who has yet to give up a sack this post season. Even if Abraham plays at a high level, he faces another Pro-Bowler in left tackle Joe Staley. Staley gave up a sack to Clay Mathews last week, but was mostly dominating against Green Bay's All-Pro pass rusher.
The 49ers offensive line is most known for being brutally physical in the run attack, with the 3rd best average per run this season. The 49ers use a combination of power and zone run blocking, along with multiple shifts and pulling lineman to create overloads and mismatches to open huge holes for their rushers. The Falcons defense is 29th in the NFL, having allowed 4.8 yards per rush, further distancing this mismatch.
The battle in the trenches will be one to watch, as the 49ers will look to assert their dominance against a wounded Falcons team, and Atlanta will have to cook up something special to contain a physical 49er option attack.1026806

A man who fell several metres into the rough sea while fishing from rocks in Wairarapa today was rescued by a local fishing boat.
The man in his late 50s had been fishing at Castle Point when he fell 2-3 metres into the sea from rocks, the Life Flight air rescue charity said.
He suffered serious multiple injuries.
The man was in the water for 20-30 minutes until he was rescued by a local fishing boat.
Locals described the water around the rocks as being like "a washing machine".
The man was taken to shore where he was treated by a Wellington Free Ambulance paramedic on board the Westpac Rescue Helicopter.
He was airlifted to Wellington Hospital with serious injuries.

So, what do we think it's gonna be? Also, what other contenders will be in it?The Stingray will be at least a finalist, and I'm hoping the Mazda6 makes a good showing. The Cadenza will probably show up, along with the RLX, the CTS, the Impala, Versa Note (?).. what else?
-----------------------------------------------Don't know whyI have to drive so fastMy car has nothing to proveIt's not newBut it'll do 0 to 60 in 5.2
That's where my money is too.
C7 looks to be the favored car so far out of the cars they have listed. F-Type could be a surprise.
LINCOLN MKZ For the WIN!!!My work is done here... talk amongst yourselves....
--------------------In my Chrysler 300's defense this might be some new Uber-safe pre-collision system that I am not aware of. The airbag deployment is the result of the car KNOWING I will be struck in the front passenger door at SOME p
ATS or Vette is my guess. I'm hoping for Vette. It fits all their criteria.
-------------------Chortle Chamber!"You can tell a lot about a person by the way they eat a handful of mayonnaise."-Five Iron Frenzy fan
The CTS will be a strong contender. Carlos Lago had a serious chubby for the Vsport he tracked recently. He didn't have enough good things to say about how it drove.
Wasn't the ATS in last year's?
CTS.Vette is too specialized to win, imo.
I think CTS is going to take it and both the Corvette and Impala are going to be finalists. GM has pumped out a bunch of pretty impressive products as of late, and based on what MT and other publications have had to say, I think it's likely one of them takes it.
---------------------------1966 Impala 2 Door - 327/T562008 Pontiac G8 GT
CTS good call folks.
Take whatever you think it is and it will be the opposite. please see 2014 SUV of the year........
I guess they'll probably release a handful of vehicles that were contenders tomorrow too, and the day after.. Looks like we'll have to wait to see what the rest are.
It doesn't look like the CTS is in the running, maybe it will be for next year's? Unless they're randomly doing articles, but I thought they usually went alphabetically and they're already at SRT.This is the list so far:BMW 4 SeriesChevrolet CorvetteJaguar F-TypePorsche CaymanSRT ViperInfiniti Q50Lincoln MKZLexus IS
Out of those I'd say Corvette or Cayman

I got a new laptop and won a free 50 inch TV with it. I also got out of the Hellhole that is McDonald's now I'm working at Wal-Mart. I know not much better but trust me it is.

On 10/15 My buddy scanned the car and erased everything. On 10/19 I filed the maf connections and made sure of tightness. Car failed almost immediately on way home from work. On 10/20 I scanned again with my friend Karl driving using top of the line scanner with BMW specific software trying to look at live data during a failure. Of course, car did not fail. Between clearing it on the 15'th and checking on the 20'th, I had 2 failures. The only code that came back was iac motor (generic p1500 and BMW code 211). I have since learned that the computer actually runs regular tests of the iac motor USING the maf signal to verify that the motor is off or closed. While doing the live scan, I could not see anything that looked irregular with the maf signal. It seemed to fluctuate with a fairly predictable sweep along with pedal pressure. I'm going to clean the rest of the connections in question next and check for tightness to see if I can change anything. I'm frustrated by a lack of symptoms, I wish the thing would either not start, or idle like sh.. , or miss, ANYTHING!

After tuning it for the change....yes. The ported vacuum source on any carbuerator can be anywhere above the throttle plate and depends on the design itself but basically if it you look at it this way you will understand;
Vacuum advance is for one thing...mileage and response at part throttle.
Race engines use only mechanical advance for this reason, if you introduce any vacuum advance into the equation you can have the vacuum advancing the timing when you least need it....like coming into a corner and releasing the throttle (high manifold vacuum). Also at top end the engine will start to generate some manifold vacuum (due to restrictions) which could cause some advance. This is very dangerous as detonation at this rpm will destroy the engine quickly (6000+). Your ported source will be at atmospheric under the same conditions.
Ideally you want the best of both worlds, vacuum advance when your just cruising around when the engine can use it and pure mechanical advance when you are hard on the throttle....ported vacuum is as close to a linear response to engine load as you can get and is only active when the throttle is open...at idle you get nothing.
Therefore you can run more initial advance in the distributor without the vacuum advance functioning and messing up your highly tuned mechanical advance setup. Usually what would happen is you would have to reduce initial timing to compensate...this kills off the line torque because as soon as you whack open the throttle the vacuum disappears and your left with a compromised timing for the engine.
I may not be explaining it all that well but here is a rule of thumb that applies to all high performance engines.
-Tune your engine using only mechanical advance on the dyno to get the maximum torque.
-once the engine is installed in the car you hook up the vacuum advance (to ported vacuum) and keep adding advance until it pings...then back off with a safety margin for changing weather conditions etc. Of course you need an adjustable vacuum advance canister. The major problem is load is what determines how much timing the engine can stand unless you are using really low compression )like 6-7:1 and big heavy cars can't handle as much vacuum advance as lighter cars under part thottle load.
Soooo....manifold vacuum will add advance in a non-linear fashion and the engine has to be tuned to compensate (reduced timing). You can see this if you hook up two vacuum gauges, one to ported and the other to manifold and then drive around. You'll see that anytime the load is removed vacuum skyrockets....but rpm stays the same and your mechanical advance mechanism is controlling that. this could cause detonation when you least expect it and least need it (high rpm, low load).
Am I making sense?
Really when you have it setup just right you gain a lot of "snap" from the engine since the timing is where it needs to be anywhere in the rpm range and load and the vacuum advance only kicks in when needed (cruise) and when it does, it does so more slowly and predictably. The mechanical advance mechanism is more in control of the timing that the engine sees.
Usually what happens is you end up dialing a lot more mechanical advance in and reducing vacuum advance. The term "put all your timing into the distributor" is very appropriate for power. Non-ported vacuum advance came about because manufacturers were already compromising the tune of the engine anyway by retarding the timing and the engine could handle that. But if you start trying to give the engine the timing it needs and retain the non-ported advance it will throw a wrench into the whole works. This scheme reduces emissions.
Try it and you will see, it helps to have access to a distributor machine or you can hook up a drill and digital tach to the distributor and tune it on the bench.
So what do you think?
She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself.

Most boys his age would be content to master Halo 3, but 17-year-old Steven Ortiz used his wit to achieve something more tangible – something much, much faster.
The Silicon Valley Mercury reports the Californian played a two-year game of bigger-and-better, one that began with a Zach Morris-era mobile phone and culminated with a 2000 Porsche Boxter S.
Mr. Ortiz posted his wares on the barter section of Craigslist, each time asking for an item bigger and/or better than the one he was offering. He reached the Porsche after a mere 14 trades.
Mr. Ortiz told the Silicon Valley Mercury News he was unaware of Canadian Kyle MacDonald, the heavyweight champion of bigger-and-better, who, over 2005 and 2006, traded up from his iconic red paperclip to a modest two-storey house in Kipling, Sask. Mr. MacDonald later wrote 2007's One Red Paperclip, a memoir detailing the his swapping spree shenanigans ("an afternoon with Alice Cooper" was one link in the trading chain).
A house in Saskatchewan might not appeal to the 17-year-old American, but the Porsche (which is only worth $7,000) appears to be losing its lustre, too:
Soon after he acquired the Porsche a few months ago, Steven realized it has had its drawbacks, namely operating expenses. An oil change costs at least $150, and a routine tune-up at least $1,000.
Mr. Ortiz has suggested he wants to trade up for a Cadillac Escalade.
Still a teen, Mr. Ortiz should set his sights a little higher: word has it much sweeter rides are almost ready to change hands.

Microcap Stocks on a Roll
Small is stylish again on Wall Street.
For a year, equity investors shunned smaller companies in favor of larger, more recognizable names as the slowing economy, credit crisis, and rising commodity prices pummeled the stock market. Starting in early July, however, the market's mood flipped. Money suddenly has poured into small-cap stocks, especially the tiniest of the tiny—the "microcap" stocks.
In the 12 months through June, the large-cap Russell 1000 Index fell 12.36%, while the small-cap Russell 2000 dropped 16.2% and the Russell Microcap Index plummeted 25.47%. From July 1 through Aug. 6, the Russell 1000 is up just 0.36%. But the Russell 2000 rose 5.37%, beaten only by the Russell Microcap Index, which advanced 6.04%, more than any other segment of the market.
Such a reversal is a surprise, but it's certainly not unprecedented for a slice of the market known for wild volatility. Small-cap stocks generally have market capitalizations of less than $2 billion. As for microcaps, the 2,000 companies in the Russell Microcap Index have market caps ranging from $24 million to $750 million, for an average of $287 million. Together companies in the microcap index make up not even 3% of the entire U.S. equity market.
Credit Crisis Has Hurt Microcaps
Microcap stocks have suffered from a range of factors over the past year, observers say. First, smaller companies are seen as riskier, usually for good reasons: They tend to be younger, less well-established, and less diversified—more likely to rely on one product or one customer for the bulk of their profits. In uncertain times, investors tend to dump these stocks, seeking the safe haven of more stable companies or fleeing equities altogether in favor of bonds or commodities.
Of course, the past year has given risk-averse investors extra reasons to prefer bigger companies. For instance, there are many small financial companies, most of them tiny regional banks, but relatively few small energy outfits. In the past year, as the price of oil has skyrocketed, energy companies have surged. Meanwhile, bank stocks suffered from the lingering credit crisis. "The disparity between financials and energy [has] really been dramatic," says Christian Anderson, associate portfolio manager at Russell Investments.
Also, the falling dollar has helped U.S. companies with strong international businesses. "Most small-cap companies' revenue stream is based here in the U.S.," says Steven Rogé, portfolio manager of the Rogé Partners Fund (ROGEX). "A lot of investors wanted to invest in large companies with global franchises."
Since July, the trends hurting small stocks have abated. Financial firms are still reporting weak results, but their stocks have recovered from the rock-bottom prices at the beginning of the summer. Meanwhile, the price of oil has fallen almost 20% from a high of above $147 per barrel, hurting energy companies. "The [small-cap] market had been getting hammered since late November," says Michael Alpert, managing director of J. & W. Seligman. "With oil letting up, we saw a relief rally." Also, the U.S. dollar has stabilized, providing less currency benefit even as many worry that overseas economies are following the U.S. into a slowdown.
Volatile Movements
Of course, it simply could be that smaller stocks had been beaten down so much that a resurgence—what Rogé calls a "dead cat bounce"—was inevitable. Alpert notes that expectations have fallen so far that many small stocks jumped by double digits in one day simply by reporting mediocre earnings.
When profit reports actually impress Wall Street, the movement in a small stock's share price may be astonishing. Penson Worldwide (PNSN) shares, for example, jumped 32% on July 24 after the release of financial results for the company, which provides products and services to the investment industry. Shares of building products maker Trex (TWP) climbed 46% in the two days after it reported its financial results July 30.
The daily movements of small stocks have gotten even wilder as more hedge funds trade and short sell small caps. "These things are bouncing around," Alpert says.
This volatility is a challenge—and an opportunity—for long-term investors. Rogé is "a little more patient getting into small-cap stocks," buying only when shares dip below whatever he judges the stock is worth.
Financials Outlook
Can small stocks maintain their recent trend? Much depends on the direction of financial stocks, which make up more than a fifth of the microcap index. Alpert, whose funds don't own any small-cap banks, says small banks will be "stuck in the mud for a while…We're not through this financial crisis by any means."
Small-cap stocks tend to outperform other segments of the market as the economy exits recession. But Rogé suspects the "economy has further to go down."
Skepticism about the financial sector and economy doesn't mean investors can't find good picks among the thousands of tiny companies on the stock market. The sheer number and variety of small and microcap names make them ideal for investors who know how to spot good values. "It makes for a very advantageous place for active managers," Russell Investments' Anderson says.
For more on the top-performing microcap stocks of the past month, see the accompanying slide show.

sti short throw shifter
after a lot of research i decided on the sti factory short throw shifter setup. after hearing warnings about shifter vibration due to hardened bushings i became a bit nervous. i was also initially worried that i may accidentally downshift as i mean to upshift because its all closer together. but now that i have the sti factory short throw shifter, i am completely happy. it claims a 40% shorter throw, group N bushings etc. it has extremely smooth, crisp and precise shifting. it was much easier to get used to than i worried. so glad i did it. i recommend it.

Policy 2.2
2.2 Policy on Educational Assessment
The Commission on Colleges expects each institution and program to adopt an assessment plan responsive its mission and its needs. In so doing, the Commission urges the necessity of a continuing process of academic planning, the carrying out of those plans, the assessment of the outcomes, and the influencing of the planning process by the assessment activities.
Background. As noted in Standard Two, implicit in the mission statement of every post secondary institution is the education of students. Consequently, each institution has an obligation to plan carefully its courses of instruction to respond to student needs, to evaluate the effectiveness of that educational program in terms of the change it brings about in students, and to make improvements in the program dictated by the evaluative process. Assessment of educational quality has always been at the heart of the accreditation process. In earlier times, this assessment tended to focus more upon process measures and structural features; hence, there was considerable emphasis placed upon resources available to enhance students' educational experiences such as the range and variety of graduate degrees held by members of the faculty, the number of books in the library, the quality of specialized laboratory equipment, and the like. More recently, while still stressing the need to assess the quantity and quality of the whole educational experience, the communities of interest served by the accreditation enterprise have come to appreciate the validity and usefulness of using output evaluations and assessment as well as input measures.
Nearly every postsecondary institution accredited by the Commission on Colleges engages in some type of outcomes assessment. Some are more formalized than others; some more quantified; some less so; some well-developed and long-utilized, and some of more recent origin and implementation. The intent of Commission policy is to stress outcomes assessment as an essential part of the ongoing institutional self-study and accreditation processes, to underline the necessity for each institution to formulate a plan which provides for a series of outcomes measures that are internally consistent and in accord with its mission and structure, and, finally, to provide some examples of a variety of successful plans for assessing educational outcomes.
Central to the outcomes analyses or assessments are judgments about the effects of the educational program upon students. These judgments can be made in a variety of ways and can be based upon a variety of data sources. The more data sources that contribute to the overall judgment, the more reliable that judgment would seem to be. There follows a list of several outcomes measures, which, when used in appropriate combinations and informed by the institutional mission, could yield an efficacious program of outcomes assessment. This list is intended to be illustrative and exemplary as opposed to prescriptive and exhaustive.
|Student Information.
From what sources does the institution acquire its students? What percentage from high school? Community college transfers? Transfers from other institutions? What blend of gender, age group, and ethnicity has the institution attracted over time? Retained over time? Graduated over time? What is the mean measured aptitude, over time, of entering students? What are the local grade distribution trends? What changes have appeared over time?
|Mid-Program Assessments.
If the institution has some kind of required writing course or an emphasis on writing across the curriculum, what evidence is there that students are better writers after having been exposed to the course or curriculum? How are these judgments rendered? If student writing improves, do students appear to retain this newly acquired proficiency? If so, why so, and if not, why not? What changes are planned as a result of the assessment exercise?
A required course, program, or sequence in mathematics can be assessed in a similar fashion. What evidence is there that the skills improved or declined as a result or the program? How are these judgments rendered? Does the improvement appear permanent or transitory? How has the program been changed as a result of the assessment program?
A required course, program, or sequence in any subject matter can be addressed in a similar fashion as can nearly any part of the program in general education of the program as a whole.
|End of Program Assessment.
What percentage of those students who enter an institution graduate? Is the percentage increasing or decreasing? Why? What is the mean number of years in which students graduate? Is that mean increasing or decreasing? Why? What are the criteria for these judgments? What is the several-year retention pattern from one class to the next, such as freshman to sophomore? If patterns reflect significant losses between one level and another, what are the reasons? Similar questions may be asked by gender and/or ethnic background. If the institution or program requires a capstone experience at the end of the curriculum, are present students performing better or worse than their predecessors? What are the reasons? What are the bases for the judgments? (e.g. "The cumulative judgment of the faculty is that the quality of the senior theses in art has improved during the past five years. This judgment is based upon the following evidence..." or "The Psychology Department requires the advanced test on the Graduate Record Examination of all graduates. These scores have declined by an average of 2% each year for the past five years. The faculty is of the opinion that the reasons for this decline are...")
|Program Review and Specialized Accreditation.
Some institutions require periodic program review of each academic program, either through an institutionally approved internal process and/or through seeking and achieving specialized accreditation, or by utilizing external experts. Either or both of these activities can provide a wealth of outcome assessment data, particularly if the methodology remains somewhat standardized over time.
|Alumni Satisfaction and Loyalty.
A number of institutions engage in a variety of alumni surveys which elicit, over time, the judgments of alumni of the efficacy of their educational experience in a program or at an institution. Use of such a mechanism can assist an institution in understanding whether alumni satisfaction with various aspects of the educational program, particularly those facets which the institution stresses, appears to be growing or diminishing over time. If satisfaction is increasing why? If decreasing, why? What are the bases for the judgments? What curricular implications do these findings have?
What methods has the institution utilized to determine the reasons why students drop out or otherwise do not complete a program once they have enrolled in it? What is the attrition rate over the past five years? Is it increasing or decreasing? What are the reasons? What programs or efforts does the institution engage to enhance student retention? Which tactics have proved to be efficacious?
|Employment and/or Employer Satisfaction Measures.
One relatively straightforward outcome measure used by some institutions concerns that number and/or percentage of former students who have sought and found employment. Are they happy with what they have found? Do they think the program has prepared them well for their chosen occupations? If trained in a particular area, teacher education, for example, have they found a teaching position?
Other institutions have found qualitative comments of frequent employers to be particularly helpful in assessing educational outcomes. Do the employers regularly recruit program graduates? Why or why not? How well do program graduates perform in compassion with graduates from other similar programs? Are there areas of the curriculum in which program graduates are particularly well prepared? Which areas? Why is preparation judged to be particularly good? Where are the weaknesses? Why? What is being done to provide remedial activity?

Hi, everyone.
I have been researching CCW for a little while. Currently I have a Walther PPS in 9mm, but was looking for something with slightly more stopping power, and was thinking of getting a .40 caliber. In researching, I came across several firearms that sounded great, only to find out that I am unable to buy them where I live (Massachusetts), as they are not Mass compliant. Post-'98 Glocks are unfortunately unable to be sold here, and pre-'98 Glocks are in short supply. I like my Walther, but for my new gun was hoping for something different. Have considered Sig P229, but from what I've heard it can be difficult to carry IWB, and is heavy as well. Sig P238 is smaller, but almost as heavy.
So, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on a great, reliable, accurate, CCW that is legal in Mass?? (I've considered moving, but wife says "no." lol) Thanks in advance!

Occupy Calgary: Mayor Naheed Nenshi Says Demonstrators' Rights Must Be Respected
CALGARY - Calgary's mayor says that the city's Occupy demonstrators have been peaceful and the city has no right under the charter of rights and freedoms to force them out of a downtown plaza.
Naheed Nenshi says that regardless of what other cities have experienced, the protest has not created a hardship for Calgarians.
He says any suggestion the issue is a crisis is ridiculous, adding it doesn't rank in the top 10 concerns for Calgarians.
About a dozen people are living in tents in the city's Olympics Plaza.
Temperatures have dropped below zero and snow fell Thursday night, but it hasn't deterred the protesters, who have not delivered any particular demands to city officials.
Nenshi says the charter of rights and freedoms trumps any civic bylaws so the only thing police can do is write ticket and not arrest the protestors.
Nenshi hopes the situation will be settled through negotiation, but he says that could be difficult as the group has no real leader.

...or is there some other 'generic' item that will work just as well?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
...or is there some other 'generic' item that will work just as well?
sure these will work
I just use the tip that comes on the bottle - I hadn't thought that I needed an additional tip.
A bed without a quilt is like the night sky without stars.
I don't use a different tip either. I know many people do use ones like you've shown, but I just use the tip on the bottle and so far so good.
Shoot, that's not what I wanted to put there. I meant to edit that post. Those were for glue syringes...
THESE are the two items that I found that I think are what I need?
I got mine at michaels. You can just use the tip that came on the bottle if you want.
I use the tip on the bottle--just open it enough to get a thin line out.
A lot of them don't work very well. I haven't tried these yet, but they are the current versions that Sharon Schamber sells (via her dd's Purple Daisies website):
Scroll down to the plastic glue tips.
A lot of the other tips, such as the ones you listed, are too fine for the thickness of the glue and clog up easily (and are difficult to clean). This has been my major battle with them. Which is why I invested in the above tips, but haven't used them yet to give a report. They should work better, though, because they are tapered tips instead of a long thin cylinder.
I too just use the tip on the glue bottle. Works well for me.

Does anyone know of an easy way to attach a hanging sleeve to a quilt after the binding has been put on?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Does anyone know of an easy way to attach a hanging sleeve to a quilt after the binding has been put on?
"A day patched with quilting seldom unravels."
how big is the quilt? Weight matters.
I have chosen to be happy because it is good for my health - Voltaire
It's 54" x 69".
"A day patched with quilting seldom unravels."
Do you want the hanger to show?
I have chosen to be happy because it is good for my health - Voltaire
I made a tube, turned it inside out then seamed the open edge close. I then whip stitched it to the top of the quilt just below the binding.
May your stitches always be straight, your seams always lie flat, and your grain never be biased against you.
sometimes i cheat a little on the hand sewing of the sleeve. if one of the borders is appropriately distanced from the edge, i open the sleeve fabric and stitch in the ditch from the front along the border seam line with the fabric pinned to the back then i only have to hand sew the two open edges together to the quilt
Nancy in western NY
before you speak THINK
T is it True? H is it Helpful? I is it Inspiring? N is it Necessary? K is it Kind?
Assuming you hand sewed the binding on the back, I would take the back binding stitching out and add the hanger sleeve on, then resew the top binding.
The 'normal' way to sew hanging sleeves on is after the binding. They go below the binding in order to keep the sleeve from showing when hung. Instructions..
The Earth without art is just "Eh".
Thanks to all of you for this info. I have also wanted to know this method or procedure. Teresa
FWIW, I would never want it sewn into the binding. I don't like them on quilts and would want to make sure they are a temporary addition.

Adopt a Shelter Cat Month
This month is the perfect time to rescue a furry pet from an animal shelter.
During the month of June Marion County Animal Services is celebrating adopt a shelter cat month.
There are almost 50 cats and kittens to choose from.
Whether it be a solid, striped, cuddly or lazy cat, you're bound to find a long lasting friend.
If you adopt one cat and you can get the second for half price.
"Adopting two cats may just be better than adopting one. According to experts of the ASCPA two cats can actually help that process by providing each other with exercise, social interaction, mental stimulation and help each other through that transition to a new home," said Elaine McClain who is the Marion County Specialist.
The adoption fee is $40 and $20 for the second cat.
Your pet will already be spayed or neutered, vaccinated and will come with a microchip.
All cats can be viewed online by visitng the Marion County animal services website: www.marioncountyfl.org/animalservices.htm

Even with our best care, small problems sometimes slip in. This page keeps track of the known issues around using the Android source code.
Build issues
Missing CellBroadcastReceiver in toro builds
SymptomOn AOSP builds for toro (up to Jelly Bean 4.2.1), CellBroadcastReceiver doesn't get included in the system.
Cause:There's a typo in
PRODUCT_PACKAGES has the K replaced by an H.
Fix: Use the latest packages for 4.2.2, or manually fix the typo.
Missing CTS Native XML Generator
Symptom: On some builds of IceCreamSandwich and later, the following
warning is printed early during the build:
/bin/bash: line 0: cd: cts/tools/cts-native-xml-generator/src/res: No
such file or directory
Cause: Some makefile references that path, which doesn't exist.
Fix: None. This is a harmless warning.
Black Gingerbread Emulator
Symptom: The emulator built directly from the gingerbread branch doesn't start and stays stuck on a black screen.
Cause: The gingerbread branch uses version R7 of the emulator, which doesn't have all the features necessary to run recent versions of gingerbread.
Fix: Use version R12 of the emulator, and a newer kernel that matches those tools. No need to do a clean build.
$ repo forall platform/external/qemu -c git checkout aosp/tools_r12
$ make
$ emulator -kernel prebuilt/android-arm/kernel/kernel-qemu-armv7
Emulator built on MacOS 10.7 Lion doesn't work.
Symptom: The emulator (any version) built on MacOS 10.7 Lion and/or on XCode 4.x doesn't start.
Cause: Some change in the development environment causes the emulator to be compiled in a way that prevents it from working.
Fix: Use an emulator binary from the SDK, which is built on MacOS 10.6 with XCode 3 and works on MacOS 10.7.
WITH_DEXPREOPT=true and emulator builds.
Symptom: When conducting partial builds or syncs (make system no dependencies) on emulator builds, the resulting build doesn't work.
Cause: All emulator builds now run Dex optimization at build time by default, which requires to follow all dependencies to re-optimize the applications each time the framework changes.
Fix: Locally disable Dex optimizations with
export WITH_DEXPREOPT=false, delete the existing optimized
versions with
make installclean and run a full build to
re-generate non-optimized versions. After that, partial builds
will work.
"Permission Denied" during builds.
Symptom: All builds fail with "Permission Denied", possibly along with anti-virus warnings.
Cause: Some anti-virus programs mistakenly recognize some source files in the Android source tree as if they contained viruses.
Fix: After verifying that there are no actual viruses involved, disable anti-virus on the Android tree. This has the added benefit of reducing build times.
Build errors related to using the wrong compiler.
Symptom: The build fails with various symptoms. One
such symptom is
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-m32"
Cause: The Android build system uses the default compiler in the PATH, assuming it's a suitable compiler to generate binaries that run on the host. Other situations (e.g. using the Android NDK or building the kernel) cause the default compiler to not be a host compiler.
Fix: Use a "clean" shell, in which no previous actions could have swapped the default compiler.
Build errors caused by non-default tool settings.
Symptom: The build fails with various symptoms, possibly
complaining about missing files or files that have the
wrong format. One such symptom is
member [...] in archive is not an object.
Cause: The Android build system tends to use many host tools
and to rely on their default behaviors. Some settings change
those tools' behaviors and make them behave in ways that
confuse the build system. Variables known to cause such
issues are
CDPATH and
Fix: Build Android in an environment that has as few customizations as possible.
Build error with 4.0.x and earlier on MacOS 10.7.
Symptom: Building IceCreamSandwich 4.0.x (and older
versions) fails on MacOS 10.7 with errors similar to this:
Undefined symbols for architecture i386: "_SDL_Init"
Cause: 4.0.x is not compatible with MacOS 10.7.
Fix: Either downgrade to MacOS 10.6, or use the master branch, which can be built on MacOS 10.7.
$ repo init -b master
$ repo sync
Build error on MacOS with XCode 4.3.
Symptom: All builds fail when using XCode 4.3.
Cause: XCode 4.3 switched the default compiler from gcc to llvm, and llvm rejects code that used to be accepted by gcc.
Fix: Use XCode 4.2.
Build error with 4.0.x and earlier on Ubuntu 11.10.
Symptom: Building IceCreamSandwich 4.0.x (and older
versions) on Ubuntu 11.10 and newer fails with errors similar to this:
<command-line>:0:0: warning: "_FORTIFY_SOURCE" redefined [enabled by default]
Cause: Ubuntu 11.10 uses a version of gcc where that symbol is defined by default, and Android also defines that symbol, which causes a conflict.
Fix: Either downgrade to Ubuntu 10.04, or use the master branch, which can be compiled on Ubuntu 11.10 and newer.
$ repo init -b master
$ repo sync
Source sync issues
Difficulties syncing the source code (proxy issues).
Difficulties syncing the source code (proxy issues).
repo init or
repo sync fail with http errors,
typically 403 or 500.
Cause: There are quite a few possible causes, most often related to http proxies, which have difficulties handling the large amounts of data getting transferred.
Fix: While there's no general solution, using python 2.7
and explicitly using
repo sync -j1 have been reported to
improve the situation for some users.
Difficulties syncing the source tree (VirtualBox Ethernet issues).
Symptom: When running
repo sync in some VirtualBox installations,
the process hangs or fails with a variety of possible symptoms.
One such symptom is
DownloadError: HTTP 500 (Internal Server Error: Server got itself in trouble).
Cause: The default network behavior of VirtualBox is to use NAT (Network Address Translation) to connect the guest system to the network. The heavy network activity of repo sync triggers some corner cases in the NAT code.
Fix: Configure VirtualBox to use bridged network instead of NAT.
Difficulties syncing the source tree (DNS issues).
Symptom: When running
repo sync, the process fails with
various errors related to not recognizing the hostname. One such
error is
<urlopen error [Errno -2] Name or service not known>.
Cause: Some DNS systems have a hard time coping with the high number of queries involved in syncing the source tree (there can be several hundred requests in a worst-case scenario).
Fix: Manually resolve the relevant hostnames, and hard-code those results locally.
You can resolve them with the
nslookup command, which will give
you one numerical IP address for each of those (typically in the
"Address" part of the output).
$ nslookup googlesource.com
$ nslookup android.googlesource.com
You can then hard-code them locally by editing
/etc/hosts, and
adding two lines in that file, of the form:
aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd googlesource.com
eee.fff.ggg.hhh android.googlesource.com
Note that this will only work as long as the servers' addresses
don't change, and if they do and you can't connect you'll have
to resolve those hostnames again and edit
etc/hosts accordingly.
Difficulties syncing the source tree (TCP issues).
repo sync hangs while syncing, often when it's
completed 99% of the sync.
Cause: Some settings in the TCP/IP stack cause difficulties
in some network environments, such that
repo sync neither completes
nor fails.
Fix: On linux,
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling=0. On
MacOS, disable the rfc1323 extension in the network settings.
Runtime issues
Camera and GPS don't work on Galaxy Nexus.
Symptom: Camera and GPS don't work on Galaxy Nexus. As an example, the Camera application crashes as soon as it's launched.
Cause: Those hardware peripherals require proprietary libraries that aren't available in the Android Open Source Project.
Fix: None.

Burning of Books and Burying of Scholars
Second Goryeo–Khitan War
Beijing History
First Goryeo–Khitan War
1. Book burning
According to the Records of the Grand Historian, after the First Emperor of Qin annexed the State of Qi and unified China in 221 BC, his Chancellor Li Si suggested suppressing the freedom of speech, unifying all thoughts and political opinions. This was justified by accusations that the intelligentsia sang false praise and raised dissent through libel.
2. Burial of the scholars
After being deceived by two alchemists while seeking prolonged life, the First Emperor of Qin ordered more than 460 of them in the capital to be buried alive in the second year of the proscription, though an account given by Wei Hong In the 2nd century added another 700 to the figure. The Crown Prince Fusu counseled that, with the country newly unified, and enemies still not pacified, such a harsh measure imposed on those who respect Confucius would cause instability. However, he was unable to change his father's mind, and instead was sent to guard the frontier in a de facto exile.

UGC conference on higher education
The conference will discuss making higher education accessible to economically backward groups.
New Delhi: Increasing the enrolment rate and making higher education more accessible to the marginalised and economically backward groups are among the issues to be discussed at a national conference of vice chancellors starting here on Tuesday.
The two-day conference, being organised by the University Grants Commission (UGC) and which will be inaugurated by HRD Minister Arjun Singh, will look at ways to raise the gross enrolment ratio in higher education to 15 per cent, according to an official release here on Tuesday.
It will discuss how to cover aspects such as establishment of new universities and colleges and strengthening and upgrading the existing institutions of higher education.
Another theme to be discussed at the conference is removing barriers in access to higher education for the deprived, marginalised social groups and the economically backward.
The other issues that will be taken up at the meeting are improving quality of education, academic and administrative reforms and private participation in higher education and financing.
Over 400 vice chancellors from all universities across the country are scheduled to attend the conference.
The national conference is a culmination of four regional conferences that the UGC had organised in Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and New Delhi.
