The End of the Road.
posted by: Willa • in: Updates • permalink
Today is a very bittersweet day for me (Willa). After much deliberation, I've decided to no longer continue Lit Up Review.
I started Lit Up Review at the end of my freshman year of high school, and it has stuck by me since then, featuring more than a dozen writers who are truly spectacular and I can not thank enough for joining me on this journey. Lit Up Review began as a blog to bring reviews by teenagers to teenagers, and I think that we've (the LUR team) succeeded in that goal.
However, we are teenagers. We spend our days at school, we do homework, we play sports, go to club meetings, work part-time jobs. We spend time with our families and play with our animals. We sleep (but never enough). And then, in the hours left, we read and blog.
As time has gone on, we've gotten busier and busier. It's the nature of high school – the farther down the road you get, the harder it becomes, and if there's one thing I know about all of the Lit Up Review team, it's that we work hard. So, this blog has really fallen by the wayside lately. This month, I stopped and thought about what I wanted Lit Up Review to look like when I went to college, because it was never in my plans to continue writing for Lit Up Review once I was no longer in high school. Except, there was also this feeling that it was time.
I talked to the other writers, and for the most part, they agreed. We were all getting tired and wanted to do different things. So, we made the decision to have April 2016 be the last month of Lit Up Review.
We will keep the site up so you can read our reviews and recommendations, but will no longer post. Feel free to check out our individual blogs or chat with us on Twitter, where we will happy to get to know all of you better.
Thank you so much for being a part of the Lit Up Review journey. It's been a ride filled with love, joy, and books since day one, and I can not thank you enough for supporting us. I love you all from the bottom of my heart, and I know the rest of the team does as well. You can read their thoughts below and their love messages to all of you.
All my love,
Ah, Lit Up Review. I've been with you from the beginning, and I'll never forget the excitement I felt when Willa asked me to join as a writer back when we were high school freshmen. A few months earlier, I was a new blogger, alone and just barely figuring out how to run my site. Now I was going to be a part of something, a collaboration headed by someone I was starting to view as one of my closest blogger friends.
Through the years, Lit Up Review, you went on to draw me even closer to the marvelous Willa—as well as several other people as the staff shifted and grew. And while I'm proud of all we accomplished together, I most treasure the friendships that grew out of our hard work.
It's bittersweet to let you go, but I can't wait to shift my focus elsewhere, to other projects with some of the people I've bonded with through this site. You were an important part of my life these past three years, and I know I'll be returning from time to time, reading old reviews and interviews and smiling fondly at the memories.
It's been quite the time, y'all. Although Lit Up Review has definitely not been my first priority this year- a reason we came to the conclusion to end it now, before we scatter- it was a massive component of many of my friendships with other teen bloggers (love these girls) and a way for me to continue immersing myself in this industry that I adore. I cannot express how thoroughly grateful I am that I was a part of this. Thank y'all all so much for your support and encouragement.
I started blogging at Lit Up Review around the same time I launched my blog platform on Blogger, which was a pretty big step for me because that was when I first started taking blogging seriously. I was a scared teen, with insecurities, and just starting to get into this book blogging thing. When I first started blogging at Lit Up Review, I was actually really nervous about it. I remember opening up my first post, starting it, and just being really nervous about it because of how intimidating everything was. You have me, who has been blogging for just a few months, along-side these wonderful ladies who have been blogging for 2+ years.
Over time, though, Lit Up because less intimidating and as I got to know the wonderful ladies who blog at Lit Up, it became more fun. I really loved being able to be apart of a group dedicated to book blogging and it's an experience that has definitely changed my blogging journey. I really want to thank Willa, Grace, and Emily for allowing me to share my words on Lit Up Review. I want to thank Jessica for really helping me out when I was first starting to blog here, and also to my other fellow contributors who have joined Lit Up Review. Really am happy to have gone through this journey with you guys. Finally, thank you to Lit Up Review, who has given me so many opportunities, new friends, and just a wonderful experience. So glad I got to be apart of this wonderful website.
Let me start off my saying that even though I only contributed to Lit Up Review for about a year and half, I am beyond thankful for my time here. Not only have I made some amazing blogging friends in the wonderful group of girls that is our Lit Up Review team, I've also had the pleasure of reading some amazing books with them. Each member of Lit Up Review has made an effort to reach out, push each other to grow, and offer the mentorship of kind friends. Although this is the end of LUP, I know that this isn't the end of my friendships with these lovely ladies, and I'm forever thankful that this blog brought us together. xoxo
I generally don't like saying goodbye, especially not to people and things that I love, so letting go of Lit Up Review absolutely guts me. I've only been a contributor for about year, but I've come to really care about this little piece of the Internet. But at the same time, I'm glad that we're going out on a high note. LUR is something that I've been proud to be a part of, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity it's given me to make new friends and share my love for books with a wider audience. So thanks to the writers for choosing me as a contributor last year, especially to Willa for letting us all in on your brain child. Thanks to the whole team for being so supportive and helpful and for being overall lovely people to work with. We've had a good run, and I'm sure this is something I'll remember for a very long time.

Wall Street damps pay expectations after 2011 'negative bonuses'
Bloomberg News
Wall Street banks are deflating pay expectations to avoid a replay of last year when cutbacks on bonuses and increased deferrals surprised bankers and traders.
Almost 20 percent of employees won't get year-end bonuses, according to Options Group, an executive-search company that advises banks on pay. Those collecting awards may see payouts unchanged from last year or boosted by as much as 10 percent, compensation consultant Johnson Associates Inc. estimates. Decisions are being made as banks cut costs and firms including UBS AG and Nomura Holdings Inc. fire investment-bank staff.
Some employees were taken by surprise as companies chopped 2011 bonuses by as much as 30 percent and capped the cash portion. That experience, along with public statements from top executives, low trading volumes in the first half and a dearth of hiring has employees bracing for another lackluster year, consultants and recruiters said.
"A lot of senior managers won't have to pay up because they're saying, 'Where are these guys going to go?"' said Michael Karp, chief executive officer of New York-based Options Group. "We're in an environment where a lot of people are just happy to have a job. Expectations have been managed so low that people will be happy with what they get."
More modest expectations reflect a new reality as total pay is about half what it was in 2007, Options Group said in a report last month. Firms are struggling to earn the returns shareholders demand amid higher capital requirements, a proprietary-trading ban and lower deal and trading volumes. Of the 10 largest global capital-markets firms, the only one trading at more than book value is UBS, which eclipsed that mark after pledging last month to shrink its investment bank by half.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and the investment-bank divisions of Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase & Co., UBS, Credit Suisse Group AG and Deutsche Bank AG set aside a total of $37.9 billion for pay in the first nine months, down 7 percent from a year earlier, according to data compiled by Bloomberg Industries. Those firms have cut more than 9,000 jobs in the past year.
The compensation figures include money allocated for paying salaries and bonuses as well as costs from deferred bonuses in previous years coming due. Wall Street firms typically reserve a portion of revenue throughout the year for employees and sometimes make adjustments in the fourth quarter, such as when New York-based Goldman Sachs reported negative compensation costs by cutting its accumulated pay pool in the last three months of 2009. Spokesmen for the banks declined to comment.
Total pay for investment bankers and traders industrywide probably will fall 8 percent, according to the Options Group report. Traders in fixed-income businesses can expect to see a 6 percent increase in compensation, while pay may decline 17 percent in equities and 13 percent in investment banking, the report shows.
Credit traders in loan products with the title of vice president, the third-highest at most banks, probably will receive compensation averaging $800,000 this year, up from $720,000 for 2011, according to the report. Cash-equity traders with the same title may get $290,000, down from $370,000.
Employees were stunned by the 2011 bonuses in part because some banks changed their pay structure, said Joseph Sorrentino, a managing director at New York compensation-consulting firm Steven Hall & Partners. Morgan Stanley capped cash bonuses at $125,000, while Barclays Plc limited them to 65,000 pounds ($103,000). Credit Suisse paid employees a portion of last year's bonuses in bonds made from derivatives to help the Zurich-based company cut risk and improve its capital position.
Some banks clawed back previous years' pay as they handed out smaller or no bonuses, which traders referred to as "negative bonuses," said Paul Sorbera, president of Alliance Consulting, a New York-based search firm.
About 17 percent of global banks clawed back compensation from previous years in 2011 as European and North American regulators pressured them to impose penalties on employee risk- taking, according to a survey of 63 companies conducted by consulting firm Mercer LLC and released in August.
Bankers also were surprised last year because expectations had been built up during a strong first half, recruiters said. The 10 largest global investment banks produced $91 billion of revenue from advisory, underwriting and trading in the first half of 2011, according to data from industry analytics firm Coalition Ltd. That plunged to $50 billion in the second half.
"Last year, the first half was much, much better than the second half, and people got a little carried away early in the year," said Richard Lipstein, managing director of New York- based search firm Gilbert Tweed International. "This year, it's been a generally crummy environment. It's been a year of managing expectations."
Low expectations this year have been driven in part by a lack of companies willing to poach non-star traders as banks exit some capital-markets businesses, said Options Group's Karp.
UBS said last month it's winding down much of its fixed- income trading and cutting as many as 10,000 jobs. Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc said this year it was exiting most merger advisory and equities trading. Nomura Holdings, the Tokyo-based bank that added employees in the U.S. after the credit crisis, has pared jobs in its Americas equities division as it seeks to reduce costs outside Japan.
The impact on morale and the amount of grumbling following decisions about 2011 compensation also has led firms to take a more active role tamping down expectations for employees, said Rose Marie Orens, a senior partner at New York-based Compensation Advisory Partners LLC.
"It'll never be a non-event, but if you can take the surprise out and allow people to say, 'Yeah, that's within 5 percent of what I expected,' it becomes less distracting," said Robert Dicks, a principal at New York-based Deloitte Consulting LLP who focuses on compensation and benefits. "It means less hallway chatter and ultimately more productivity."
Banks also have been discussing pay more in public, Dicks said. Deutsche Bank, Germany's biggest lender, said in September it will increase the vesting period for deferred bonuses for top management to five years from three.
The bank, based in Frankfurt, last month named a panel of business executives and a former German finance minister to review compensation as it addresses criticism on pay. CEO Anshu Jain urged investors in September to hold other firms accountable for instituting longer deferrals and clawbacks.

Portable scanners offer the opportunity to collect information from printed sources when you're on the move. Most require a connection to a notebook, to draw the power they need from a USB socket. Visioneer's Mobility device goes one step further by including a rechargeable battery pack, so it can be used completely independently of any computer, though a smartphone still comes in handy for previewing the scan..
The Mobility scanner is not much wider than the A4 paper, which is the maximum width it can scan. Its glossy white top and textured black base give it clean, purposeful lines and it's about the size of a half-baguette. You feed paper from the front on a straight-through path to exit from a slot at the back.
There are just two control buttons on the scanner's top, one to turn the device on and off and the other to cycle through its three scanning options, which are for photo, a mono PDF and a colour PDF. You also need to press the option button for two seconds to periodically switch the scanner into calibration mode and feed in the supplied calibration card.
Underneath is the battery compartment, where the 1.7Ah lithium ion battery fits – Visioneer says this should be good for up to 300 scanned pages per charge. At the back are three sockets. The first is for the miniature USB plug on the supplied power and data lead, which connects to one or two USB sockets on a PC to transfer data and charge the scanner. There's a USB power supply included with the scanner, too.
The second is a conventional USB socket and this can be used to connect a USB drive onto which the scanner will save its JPEG and PDF files. The third slot is for an SD card and a 1GB Micro SD card is supplied, with an SD adapter. The scanner saves directly to the SD card as if it was the storage in a camera and uses the same DCIM folder structure for storing images and documents. This makes it very easy to use the card data in most graphics applications.
Visioneer's software provision depends on whether you're a PC or Mac owner. Mac owners are left pretty much on their own, using the OSX Scan utility to transfer images and having to drag and drop PDFs directly from the DCIM folder in the scanner's memory card.
Those connecting the device to a PC are much better off, with full versions of Nuance PaperPort 12 and OmniPage Pro 15, as well as NewSoft's Presto! BizCard. Between them, these three cover most of the possible uses of the scanner and form a well above average bundle.

Won't work with iPhone is a con? One phone out of how many thousands now available... really TR... really?
Great idea though, I would love to get one of these soon... in fact if a better product comes along I will get it.
Not working with the iphone is a con when you work with every other major brand. Besides the Iphone does account for between 15 and 20% of all phones sold.
It's just a pithy con for a cons sake. Maybe they didn't want to licence something from Cupertino and gave them the finger. :)
Meh doesn't bother me i have a Samsung galaxy anyways :P. Still i can see this being great for solicitors you can never have enough photocopiers and scanners in the office and especially out of the office. I'd bee a little concerned at the quality but to be honest so long as you can ocr the result it probably doesn't matter which means the low quality probably won't be a problem.

Megachurch CitiesTweet
One of the major trends of recent decades has been the rise of the "megachurch"—that is, congregations that attract huge numbers of people each weekend. So how big is the megachurch audience, exactly? In our national research, Barna Group tracks the size of the churches that Americans attend. Overall, only about one in 10 self-identified Christians (10%) in America attend a church with at least 1,000 attenders. In other words, while megachurches are a much-discussed trend, the vast majority of American Christians attend smaller churches.
As part of the Barna: Cities effort, we can pinpoint America's most and least megachurch-oriented cities. The research shows that Las Vegas, NV has the highest concentration of megachurch attenders among the Christians who reside in the market (29% of all Christians who live in the region attend a church of at least 1,000 attenders). The second-ranked market was Baton Rouge, LA (27%). Two Florida cities made the top of the list, including Tampa-St. Petersburg (21%) and Orlando (18%). Texas also contributed two cities to the rankings: Dallas, Fort Worth (19%) and Houston (19%). The New Mexico corridor of Albuquerque, Sante Fe (19%) also places in the top seven cities.
The bottom three markets included Madison, WI, Toledo, OH, and Salt Lake City, UT. In each of these three markets, only 1% of Christians reported attending a megachurch.

Why PC makers still don't get itRob Hof
I've been pretty happy with Dell Computer, having bought a home system several years ago and using a Dell laptop at work. But when the laptop keyboard's space bar stopped working the other day, I quickly descended into tech support hell. ...
After calling the Dell tech support line, I waited an hour and a half for a human response, only to be summarily cut off. Calling back the same number, I got a recording saying that number was no longer working. No kidding. After trying again just in case I dialed wrong--no dice, same message--I called the recommended number. A half-hour wait later, someone on the line told me I'm in the wrong queue for my product. Then I got transferred to yet another number, where after another wait, I got someone who reasonably quickly understood I needed a new keyboard assembly and ordered me one. So far, so ... well, OK.
The next day, just for kicks, I tried to check on the shipment status. Following the directions in the e-mail, I found that the options suggested do not exist on the Web site. OK, let's try the phone. The suggested voicemail options weren't quite right, but I got to an option that asked for my case number. Keyed it in, waited 10 minutes. Finally, the voice told me it's an invalid number.
The good news: A couple hours later, the keyboard assembly showed up at the door. Cool. Yet all those customer-service mistakes needlessly left me with a bad taste in my mouth.
Now, I can understand why some component might go kablooey. I can even understand having to wait awhile to get someone on the support line, even if I don't like it. And clearly, Dell isn't alone here.
But how can automated systems be set up so poorly? All someone at Dell has to do is try it once to see that a whole lot of things aren't working right. It's amazing that after all these years, PC makers still can't seem to get the basics of customer service right. It certainly doesn't bode well as they try to move further into consumer electronics.

By Andrea Stone, USA TODAY
Valerie Morrison has less time for love these days. The Philadelphia psychic says clients who once obsessed about romantic prospects are too worried about their economic future.
Executives inquire about layoffs. Restaurateurs ask if people will still go out to eat. Homeowners want real estate tips.
"They ask me if this (recession) is going to turn around or become even worse," says Morrison, a seer since age 7, when she says she foresaw an aunt's death. "I say chicken pox gets worse before it gets better. Do not panic."
Anecdotal evidence indicates that psychics, astrologers, palm readers, Tarot card shufflers, numerologists and other paranormal specialists have become the rage as investment advisers and brokers appear clueless. After all, if the times aren't normal, why not try the paranormal?
TELL US: Have you ever consulted a psychic?
"Men and women are calling psychics who never thought they would call a psychic," says Maryanne Fiedler, marketing director of Psychic Source, an online network of 165 clairvoyants who consult by phone. Many have lost jobs or retirement savings. Fiedler says her psychics don't give investment advice. "We're trying to ease their anxieties," she says, by offering "reassurance."
Thomas Kramer, a Baruch College marketing professor who studies consumer behavior, understands why some people afraid to look at their 401(k) might gaze into a crystal ball.
"In times of uncertainty or stress, people tend to rely on superstition or magic," he says. "They want to get a sense of control over what is happening in these uncertain economic times and reduce the levels of stress or induce hope."
Nina Melrose, 42, a Dallas soothsayer who reads palms and Tarot cards, advises clients on which stocks to buy, basing her picks "solely on my psychic ability." She declined to say how prescient she had been.
Others steer clear of specifics. They offer common-sense advice — at rates up to $5.75 a minute — that some people wouldn't need a mind reader to provide.
Morrison, who charges $85 a half-hour, has increased her schedule from three days a week to five because of rising demand. She tells clients to buy gold and silver, sell their antiques and pass up new clothes. "Anything they can do where they can put cash in a safe," she says. "If we just hold tight, we're going to get through this."
Therese Baxter, a Psychic Source fortune-teller, says she tells callers to "be very conservative" about spending and suggests they "gain new skills for the new economy." She recommends job seekers look at government agencies such as Homeland Security and Federal Emergency Management Agency that deal with other troubles.
Baxter, 52, a third-generation psychic who has sold her "clairvoyant flashes" for half her life, says her line of work has "become much more acceptable and mainstream (because) a lot of mainstream things we were relying on have collapsed. … People are scared, uncertain, more willing to take more of a non-traditional approach to things."
Not everyone. Ann Johnson, a New York psychic, says business hasn't soared since Wall Street's collapse and neither has that of her spiritualist competitors. "I don't think people are spending their money to go to psychics," she says. "Right now what people are looking for is being able to just survive."

... I've had a Cassata flavour....YUM!!
I would have been happy to stay out a bit longer but it was 12.30 now and getting oh so hot. More to the point was the discomfort in our bums....ouch; we are clearly NOT accustomed to bike seats! LOL. I was beginning to get that funny bow legged walk each time I dismounted, so we decided it was best to start heading back, with the plan of going to the beach later in the day.
Yet again ...
... a delightful couple along with their 12 year old son and 10 year old triplets from the United States. They invited us for dinner despite the fact that they had only arrived in Florence the previous night. The Mesquits are homeschooling and traveling throughout Europe for a year; their timeframe almost exactly overlaps ours. I can't imagine the logistics of this journey given four additional primary school-aged travelers! It was pure joy ...

... optional tour dinner that night but we were the only ones who didn't go. At 49 Euro a head, I could not justify that for an omelet and some pasta. An omelet seems to be the standard vegetarian option so far, or grilled cheese! As soon as the group left on the bus, we walked into the township. It was a bit further than we expected, 3 or 4 km, but it was worth it. We saw people mounting candles in jars all around the windows and the church had containers of ...
Lucca- day 16
... would touch the sausage, sigh. Breakfast here is the one thing that is really killing us. Anyway, we wrapped the rest to go, since we were feeling increasingly uncomfortable under the eyes of the crime ring, and went to the station. We checked the board and found our track... I'm having such an easier time this trip figuring out the trains- either they have gotten better or I have gotten smarter.. We hopped on to our train - assigned seats - ...
Went to look at the leaning tower of Pisa which is a bell tower made of white marble sitting next to the cathedral and the Baptist building used to baptise the people.

The financial crisis has had a tremendous impact on Greece's economy, exacerbating existing problems. The health sector has been seriously affected by the economic situation, and the two Memorandums of Understanding (MOU) that Greece has signed since 2010 dictate a series of measures that focus on the reduction of public expenditure. Daphne Kaitelidou and Eugenia Kouli outline some of the main effects the crisis has had on the Greek health system.

Franklin Crate Ceases Operations
Published July 19th, 2012
MICANOPY-One of North Central Florida's oldest and most venerable companies has closed its doors.
Franklin Crate, which has manaufactured produce containers for farmers since 1916, ended operations on Thursday, July 12th, according to company owner Ben Franklin III.
John Thrasher with the Micanopy Historical Society told TV20 that through the years Franklin Crate was the biggest employer in the region. He said the company had a close relationship with the people of Micanopy.
Franklin would not say how many people worked at the company, or why it shut down. But he said his family would keep the facility, and possibly rent it out.

Should this be handled in APR somewhere? Hmm...good point. What #ifdef protection should I use? This *should* be handled by APR, but I think that will take a lot more work and for now SysV Sem is broken whenever we use setuid(). We need to abstract out some concept of permissions that works across all platforms and can be used for things like this. In this case, it would be useful to perscribe to the apr_global_mutex.h interface that we want a lock that is accessible to the httpd child processes.

This beloved Tony Award-winning musical takes us back to the age of chivalry and the tumultuous love triangle between King Arthur, Queen Guenevere, and Sir Lancelot. A doomed romance, a yearning for a once and future better world, and magical music define a show for the ages and the entire family. At the 50-year anniversary of the assassination of President Kennedy, we ponder yet again how youthful idealism and a desire to create a better social order are so often threatened by human passion and need.
"One of the great musicals of the 20th century."

Glaxo MAGE-A3 Cancer Drug Fails to Help Patients in Trial
Agenus Inc., (AGEN) a developer of treatments for cancer and infectious diseases, plummeted the most in four years after partner GlaxoSmithKline Plc's (GSK) MAGE-A3 vaccine failed to help skin-tumor patients in a trial.
Agenus, which developed the stimulating component of the experimental treatment, fell 23 percent to $2.84 at the close in New York, its biggest drop since October 2009. The shares of the Lexington, Massachusetts-based biotechnology company have declined 31 percent this year.
The late-stage study will continue to see whether the medication helped a specific subset of patients with melanoma, London-based Glaxo said in a statement today. Results are expected in 2015, Glaxo said. MAGE-A3 is an immunotherapy, a promising area of research where treatments stimulate the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Estimates for MAGE-A3 were "heavily risk-adjusted" by analysts, Alistair Campbell, an analyst with Berenberg in London, said in an interview. "Expectations weren't high," said Campbell, who said he doesn't expect the drug to meet the secondary goals of the trial.
Glaxo declined less than 0.8 percent to 1,652.50 pence in London. The stock has increased 24 percent this year.
The treatment is designed to work by targeting the melanoma-associated antigen 3, or MAGE-A3, a protein that is expressed in certain cancer cells and not in healthy cells. The trial assessed the time between treatment with the vaccine and the first sign that the disease recurred, or when the patient died.
Genetic Makeup
Glaxo will study whether the drug works in a subgroup of patients who may respond better to the drug based on their genetic makeup. If successful, the company may file for marketing approval for that group of patients, Agenus said in a separate statement today.
Glaxo is also studying MAGE-A3 in lung cancer and results of a late-stage trial are expected in the first half of next year.
Merck KGaA (MRK) said Dec. 19 that its cancer vaccine L-BLP25 failed to help lung cancer patients live longer in a late-stage trial. The Darmstadt, Germany-based pharmaceutical company is reviewing whether it will conduct another large trial focusing on a specific group of patients who showed a positive response to the treatment, which targets cancer cells where the MUC1 gene is present.
In an Aug. 6 research note, Citigroup Inc. said there was a low probability of success for MAGE-AG and dabrafenib.

Smarts is a Smart Playlist Manager
Smarts will save and store the criteria of an iTunes Smart Playlist -- the "smarts" of a Smart Playlist -- as a template so you can reload it into iTunes later.
• Use Smart Playlist "Starter" Templates •
Perhaps the best use of Smarts is to maintain several "starter" Smart Playlist templates of your frequently used criteria (eg: Genre is not Holiday or Last Played is not in the last 6 months). Instead of painstakingly re-entering the same basic -- and perhaps elaborate -- criteria over and over again, just load a pre-made "starter" template as a new Smart Playlist in iTunes. (Smart Playlist criteria can only be edited in iTunes.)
• Reduce the Number of Active Smart Playlists •
iTunes performance is smoother when there are fewer active Smart Playlists to continuously maintain. With the criteria of your Smart Playlists saved as templates in Smarts you can safely remove unused Smart Playlists from iTunes and then restore them from the templates only when you want to use them again.
• Keep Notes on Templates •
You can enter a little bit of info for each template to help describe the template beyond just its name.
• Export Smart Playlist XML files •
Saved Smart Playlist templates can be individually exported as XML files which can be backed-up or shared with other iTunes users (specific track information, however, is not exported -- only the criteria). Smart Playlist XML files exported by Smarts can be imported to iTunes using the iTunes "Import Playlist..." command.

MAY SALE - Design to Profit™ Webinar Series
Module 3: Creating a Business Plan and Investment Deck
Presented by Frances Harder with Julia Szkiba (Consultant/Designer and Adjunct Faculty, Art Institute of California)
Getting started is the hardest part of writing a business plan. A business plan defines your business, identifies your goals, and serves as your firm's résumé. Its basic components include a current balance sheet of your financial situation, an income statement, cash flow analysis, description of the product, market to be targeted, projected sales and executive summary. It helps you allocate resources properly, handle unforeseen complications, and make the right decisions. Because it provides specific and organized information about your company and how you will repay borrowed money, a good business plan is a crucial part of any loan application. A well-prepared business plan will demonstrate that the managers or entrepreneurs know the business and have thought through its development in terms of product, management, finances, and, most importantly, markets and competition.

Sunday, 3 October 2010
observer ONLINE
By Shanika SRIYANANDA
With the dawn of peace after 30-years, more German tourists visit Sri
Lanka while more German investors are planning to invest due to the
economic and political stability of the country.
Germany, which has been helping the country for nearly 60-years, is
hopeful that its government can do more to uplift the people of the
country, who suffered from the deadly conflict.
German Ambassador Jens Ploetner said in an exclusive interview with
the Sunday Observer that Germany would help Sri Lanka develop in the
post conflict era.
"Last year we spent almost US $ 15 million as aid and we will spend
about the same amount this year", he said.
The Ambassador was interviewed last week on the day he turned 43.
Instead of a gala party he celebrated his birthday with the villagers of
Manapaha, in Kurunegala, who were gifted with a German funded 'Senehasa'
rice mill which will assist over 200 paddy farmers. Travelling around
the country often, Ploetner said that he and his family were happy that
he was posted to Sri Lanka. " We have found the country to be very
beautiful and the people-friendly", he said.
Q:In post the conflict Sri Lanka, what would be Germany's
contribution to develop the country?
A: Sri Lanka is facing the challenge of transforming itself
from a country at war to a society living in peace. This is a huge task
and the main work has to be done by the people of Sri Lanka themselves.
They have to find a way of making all communities live in peace and
harmony. What the international community can do is to assist in this
endeavour. This is where I see a role for Germany.
Name: Jens Uwe Plotner
* Date of birth: September 29, 1967
* Place of birth: Eutin, Germany
* Family status: Married, one child
*1987: Baccalaureate/Higher Education Entrance
Qualification/A Levels
*1987 - 1988: Military Service
*1989 - 1993: University studies in law and political
science in Hamburg, Bordeaux and Paris
*1996 - 1998: Deputy Chief of Staff to the State Minister
for European Affairs in the German Federal Foreign Office
*1998 - 2002: Political Counsellor, German Embassy Tel
* 2002 - 2005: Spokesman for Middle Eastern and
UN-Affairs, Press Department of the German Federal Foreign
* 2008 - 2009: Spokesman of the German Federal Foreign
* 2009: Ambassador to Sri Lanka
Q:What is the total commitment of assistance this year and
what is the progress made when compared to previous years?
A: Fifty years ago, Sri Lanka was one of the first countries to
benefit from German Development Co-operation. Many people know of our
lighthouse projects and the German Technical College in Moratuwa. Since
then we have continued to work in a number of fields such as
agriculture, energy, the Mahaweli water scheme and vocational training.
In recent years, alleviating the consequences of the armed conflict
became our main focus.
Last year we spent almost US $ 15 million as aid and we will spend
about the same amount this year. To this you have to add Germany's
contributions to the EU and the UN-budgets. All in all, I believe we
have seriously tried to contribute to the long-term development of Sri
Q: Demining is one area to which the German government offered
help. What is the progress in this area?
A: I totally agree that demining is a top priority because it
is a pre-condition for families to finally return to their homes.That is
why we have spent US $ 1 million on de-mining.
I can very well understand that displaced families are very impatient
and want to return home as soon as possible. But we need to make sure
that the quality of de-mining is 100 percent. I visited the de-mining
sites and saw the meticulous work FSD, the organization that we are
funding, is doing. Remember that a few months ago a French de-miner of
this organisation lost his life while clearing a mine-field. So you see:
People are actually risking their lives to make Sri Lanka a safer place.
I feel that deserves more credit.
Q: After the war the North and the East is the region that
needs development. What are the projects that are designed to offer
livelihood support for these people?
A: Most of our help goes to the North and the East. We are
helping in the construction of houses. In another project, we are
training young women and men for jobs in the construction sector in
close cooperation with the Chamber of Construction. And then most
recently we have started a program in Batticaloa with the Women's
Chamber of Commerce to supply livelihood opportunities for war widows.
They will be given the opportunity to start a small poultry farm and in
that way they can earn an income and also contribute to improve the
health and nutrition in the community.
Q: Sri Lanka - Germany have nearly 60-years of diplomatic
relationship. How do you evaluate it?
A: Yes, the friendship between our people has a long history.
German development aid laid the foundation. Then, work-relations turned
into friendship. Starting in the 60's, quite a number of Sri Lankans
came to study in the East and West Germany.
That further strengthened the bonds. With the beginning of tourism in
Sri Lanka Germany became the number one country of origin of tourists
coming to Sri Lanka. And although it might sound paradox the tsunami
further strengthened our friendship. Germans felt great sympathy for the
people of Sri Lanka suffering from the consequences of this horrible
event and donations hit a record level in the aftermath.
Today, after the end of the war in the North the number of tourists
from Germany is again picking up with tremendous speed. German tour
operators told me this trend would persist.
Q: Tourism is one area that the government expects to develop
after ending the war. Do you have any plans to bring more German
tourists to the country?
A: German tourists roam freely and its up to Sri Lanka to
convince them to visit the island.
President Mahinda Rajapaksa has set an ambitious goal of attracting
2.5 million tourists to Sri Lanka by 2016. And I know that the tourism
sector is working hard to meet this target. Whatever the future numbers,
I hope that Sri Lanka will conserve a quality tourism respectful of
nature and local traditions. German tourists come to the island to be
close to nature and to discover your culture and customs. Many also come
to Sri Lanka for Ayurvedic treatment. So 500 bed mega-hotels will
definitely not be attractive to them.
Q: Are there any plans to revive the travel advisory?
A: We have relaxed the travel advisory significantly since the
end of the war and we are going to further relax it from the beginning
of this month. The only area which we don't recommend travelling to is
the North. One reason being that foreigners are still not allowed to
travel to Jaffna.
This is a limitation I quite honestly don't understand and I hope it
will be dropped in the near future. Once the state of emergency is
abolished, we will reach a situation where we will have no specific
travel advisory at all.
Q: You have travelled around the country including the North
and the East. What are your observations and what do you have to tell to
German tourists and German people about Sri Lanka?
A:It is a beautiful country with friendly people - a travel
destination I can only recommend. At the same time, when you live here,
you also witness the incredible suffering many people have gone through
in the last years. I have met so many war widows who have lost their
families - their plight has touched me. At the same time I admire the
resilience they show and the dignity they have maintained all along
their terrible experience. After meeting them I always feel extremely
humble by what I have seen and I am full of admiration and sympathy for
these people.
Q: Germany suffered the same war situation some decades back
and rose from the ashes to be one of the most developed countries. What
are the lessons that Sri Lankans can learn from Germany?
A:Every country has to find its own path. And speaking about
Germany, don't forget that after the war my country was divided In the
East, a communist regime quelled civil society and basically installed a
one-party dictatorship.
Anyone who voiced opposition was put behind bars. In the West, we
were lucky enough to receive a democratic constitution. I am convinced
that without the rule of law, press freedom and a vibrant civil society
West-Germany would not have become the success-story it turned out to
Q: What is the support extended for poverty eradication?
A: Apart from livelihood programs, the vocational training for
young women and men in the construction field, we are doing some
livelihood support projects in the North such as fisheries for example.
While foreign help is important, the main impetus for the eradication
of poverty must come from within the country. I have carefully noted,
that in his speech to the UN, President Rajapaksa attributed high
priority to eradication of poverty in Sri Lanka.
Q: The government invited foreign investments in Sri Lanka
after ending the battle against terrorism. How do you expect to
encourage German investors to come to Sri Lanka?
A: German companies are starting to look into the
possibilities of investing in Sri Lanka. As an Embassy, we can encourage
them, but the choice is theirs. Experience has shown that to attract
investments, a stable economic and political framework are important.
Q: As a young diplomat what do you have to say about your
first appointment to Sri Lanka as Ambassador?
A: My wife and I very consciously chose Sri Lanka as a post.
We have found a very beautiful country and friendly people. We have been
travelling around seeing wonderful historical sites and nature. We are
happy that a year ago we decided to come to Sri Lanka.
Q: Do you think that the country's political and economic
stability will bring more support to Sri Lanka?
A: I definitely think that the end of the war has opened new
opportunities to attract investors. But we should not forget that the
end of the war can only be the first step on the path of attaining
sustainable peace.

Hillary Clinton's former attack flack is going to work on Bloomberg's reelection effort.By Chris Rovzar
Howard Wolfson is still recovering from Hillary's loss, which he took hard. That came through at times in this IM conversation, but so did his fierce loyalty to the Democratic cause.
The former communications director will take on a permanent role as strategist for the cable network.
The writer of the piece that never got written spills the dirt about what happened leading up to Clinton's pullout.
The Clintons are lawyers and they've been pushing language ever since Bill said "depends on what the meaning of 'is' is."… That's my problem as a Democrat with the Clintons and the people around Hillary, which include Harold Ickes and Howard Wolfson — all of these people are so self-infatuated with their own clever superiority, that in fact they're quite transparent.Okay, sure, but Camiiiiilllllllleeeeee! Throw us a bone! What did you think about when Hillary helped Us Weekly pick out her worst outfits of all time? "I don't approve," Paglia snapped. Ahh. Now that's more like it.
"It's all mishegoss — fear is not rational," said Mr. Wolfson when asked to explain the root of his now decade-long aversion to air travel. "I could point to a couple of things but at the end of the day it just ascribes a level of rationality to it that doesn't exist."You'll recall that this primary schedule is one that requires moving from, say, Iowa to New Hampshire or South Carolina to Nevada with great speed. While the rest of the campaign is in the air, Wolfson is driving alone, often up to seventeen hours at a time, in his BMW. One could argue that this is a severe detriment to his usefulness on the trail. One could also argue that since everybody has a phone and a BlackBerry these days, it doesn't really matter. Regardless, we really like that Horowitz is letting us into the secret world of the Hillary press camp. First Hillary's hipster, and now this. He's all up in their bidness! No wonder he's around when they get important phone calls. The Spokesman Who Couldn't Fly [NYO] Related: Hillary's Press Guru Is More Hipster Than Thou

IMO, making China adhere to our manufacturing standards would be murder for our country's economy at first. I could understand it making things better in the long wrong but We get just about everything from them. Even if we banned things from China that were not our standard how long do you think it woudl take for us to become self sufficient? I don't think we could anymore because we're so used to the market we're in now. Not to mention if we ban China's Goods how well do you think that is going to sit with all the other countries we sell thigns too? Most of them hate us already.
I wasn't even thinking banning but tariffs would be nice. We could take the money from the tariffs and pay back our loans. The tariffs would let the goods still be available and make the american made products more comparable in price. :D
Now some people would bitch because they would have to pay more for their stuff.

The Dragonfly Pool
Eva Ibbotson
Macmillan. Price £12.99. Age 10-13
Eva Ibbotson is renowned for her depiction of timeless heroines whose endearing mixture of capable common sense, compassion and integrity makes them readily likable.
Here it is Tally, daughter of a loving but overworked doctor, who, in 1939 with war approaching, finds herself summarily dispatched to boarding school. There she encounters, not the stuffy set-up her snooty cousins have led her to expect, but a lively, forward-thinking environment where children are treated as responsible individuals - and lessons are optional.
Outsiders deplore the school's haphazard approach but, for its pupils, the mutually supportive atmosphere offers an emotional and spiritual refuge. Its philosophy and Tally's benevolence are, however, put to the test on a school trip to a tiny (fictional) European kingdom under threat from Nazi Germany.
The idea of the courageous and principled individual who can make a difference to the lives of those around her has a long-standing appeal in children's literature; Tally's morality, her passion and her courage place her firmly in the mould of its best-loved heroines.
Tally's adventures may from time to time require us to suspend disbelief, but we do so willingly and in appreciation of the sure-footed skill of an author whose novels have the skill and stature of classics in the making.

Is an intermittently used processor (so called back-up processor) held to the same QC standards as the primary mammography processor?
Yes. Intermittently used (so called back-up) processors used for mammography will be held to the same quality standards as the primary processor(s) used for mammography. It is the responsibility of the facility to assure that the processor is in control (monitored parameters are within the action limits) before processing any clinical images. One way to achieve this is to establish a baseline for any processor that might be used as a back-up for processing mammograms. Subsequently, on the day the back-up processor is needed, the daily processor QC tests should be performed prior to processing clinical images and if the test results fall outside the action limits, clinical images should not be processed until all problems have been fixed and the new test results show that the processor is in control.

Romans 8:18 "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us."
Why did I buy an Ed Brown? Because they work.
"The old Lakota was wise. He knew that man's heart away from nature becomes hard."
Because Ned Brown, Ted Brown, and Fred Brown don't make firearms.
Obviously accuracy, reliability, quality, fit and finish... that's easy to answer. It's worth the money to me over a production gun.
The more difficult question is - why Ed Brown over Wilson, Baer, Springfield Custom, Nighthawk, or one of the many respected custom builders?
For many of us, the answer is simple - we own various 1911's made by various people included in that uppermost echelon of builders.
Some prefer Brown over the rest. Why?
For me... it's a difficult question that I don't really have a good answer for. I have owned 1911's from each maker I mentioned, including custom guns.
Is a Brown "better" than a Baer? Yes, in a way that matters to some. Fit and finish is superior. Most Baer owners will agree. That's why Browns cost more. Whether the extra price is worth the fit and finish is up to the shooter. Baer owners will typically say no, which is fine. I'm not going to say that a Brown is more reliable, accurate, or made of better materials. It's just got that extra care in the details of finish work. For me, it's worth paying for.
Is a Brown better than a Nighthawk, or a Wilson Combat? In any way? Well.... both of those companies offer the same level of fit and finish, more gun options, and at least with WC it's widely agreed that their customer service is the best. I would agree based upon my experience owning two Wilsons in the past.
So I ask myself... why do I have four Browns, no Wilsons currently, and only one Nighthawk?
Well... Brown is classic. The slide stop, the undercut of the trigger guard, it's just cleaner and more classic looking to my eye. I like Snakeskin. I like that Brown keeps it simple, too. There is no accuracy upgrade, or Bullet Proof upgrade, or flat wire spring upgrade (whatever that is). They just build 'em the best they know how, and every gun they build is "top of the line". Works for me. The few custom options you can get on a Brown happen to be some of my favorites on a 1911, like a flush cut slide stop/barrel crown, solid trigger, and 10-8 rear sight. I'm not left wanting for anything.
It's refreshing to find something that is (mostly) out of the box just the way I like it, after having spend substantial time and effort and money working with custom shops to have custom 1911's built for me. In the end, those full blown custom guns, borne of work orders spanning many pages, crafted to the last detail to my liking, ended up awfully close to what Brown gives you out of the box - or at least from checking a few option boxes on the work order.
And with regard to custom 1911's... I have two, and love them. However, depending on the shop, you aren't getting the customer support that a big shop like Brown can offer.
Furthermore, last year I decided to axe most of my collection and rebuild with high end 1911's and Glocks only. I contact several well known 1911 makers only to be told "wait 6 months and maybe I can build you one" or "wait years and maybe you can get on my wait list". I've seen, shot, handled, and owned those custom guns. Great guns, really. Every serious 1911 enthusiast should custom spec a dream gun at some point. However, like the comparison between Wilson and Brown... there isn't really a difference in quality. So, if Ed Brown can get me as many 1911's as I want, configured the way I like them, in 6 months from date of order, for less money and less hassle... I ask myself why bother. I've shot and owned enough nice 1911's that the experience of having more unique, custom 1911's that nobody else owns doesn't make me feel special anymore. I'll happily have the same Special Forces or Executive Elite that you guys have. It's a fantastic gun, pretty, just what I like in a 1911, and I don't have to write up a build sheet or worry about whether my choices in parts or options will work properly when fitted up.
Game. Set. Match.
Nicely put, Nate.
-NRA Life Member-
-Ed Brown Special Forces-
-Alchemy Custom Target-
OK...Short and simple...I love 1911s! I purchased a Kobra Carry to carry with me and protect my loved ones. I don't collect firearms to be safequeens but shoot and carry/use every one of them. However, I expect the Ed Browns will be appreciated and used by my grandchildren.
Be Aware and Alert, stay Alive and Unhurt!

The course is intended for chemists, chemical engineers and plant managers working in the chemical and life-science industry, in the fine chemicals industry as well as in the basic chemicals industry who develop crystallization processes, transfer crystallizations into production or between sites, operate crystallization processes or who optimize crystallizations. The course is equally directed towards persons working in formulation of crystalline products, in the life-science but also in alimentary or consumer products fields, wanting to learn more about the potentials of the processes leading to the crystalline starting material to be formulated.
The course imparts the theoretical basis of crystallizations and understanding of crystallization processes, nucleation, crystal growth and agglomeration. Further, the course will discuss the different crystallization techniques employed in the industry and it will discuss the basis data necessary for the successful development and optimization of any crystallization process as well as the underlying development work. This includes laboratory work as well as work in the plant. Topics treated will be the determination of solubility data, the analysis of the crystallization behavior and the characterization of the crop. Techniques to control and to modify properties of the crop and to optimize the purification behavior by crystallization will also be discussed.
