Yep, those are the ones I used, but i paid more than that for them, about $16 for a dozen. I used the pattern in your second link but I spaced them a little closer. I also used a pair of 16d nails on 16" centers to keep the ledger board tight to the rim joist, just in case it wanted to twist on me.
The nails keep it flat, the headloc bolts keep the ledger from pulling away from the wall. BTW, the headloc fastener was developed because of decks that pulled away from the structure they were attached to, sometimes with fatal results. Nails alone will not keep the ledger attached and sometimes lag bolts don't work as well as people think, especially zinc coated lag bolts.

First of all, the typical Evangelical Christian will think that the Gospel accounts of the crucifixion and death of Jesus are sufficient to prove that Jesus was crucified and died on the cross. But Johnson would not agree with this assumption, because he has a more skeptical view about the historical reliability of the Gospels. Johnson compares the Gospel accounts about Jesus with the accounts that we have of Socrates, and he finds the Gospels to be more questionable and problematic than the accounts we have of Socrates:.[4]
The problems facing the seeker of the historical Jesus are even more severe [than the problems facing the seeker of the historical Socrates]. Although the biographies of Jesus…were composed within forty to sixty years of Jesus' death, that is still greater than the memoirs about Socrates composed by Xenophon and Plato. Socrates, furthermore, was remembered by disciples who were longtime companions and eyewitnesses. Although the Gospels undoubtedly bear within them evidence of firsthand sources and even eyewitnesses, such material is not identified as such, and the narratives as a whole were most probably composed by authors of the generation after that of Jesus' immediate followers.[5]
"...Non narrative New Testament writings datable with some degree of probability before the year 70 testify to traditions circulating within the Christian movement concerning Jesus that correspond to important points within the Gospel narratives. Such traditions do not, by themselves, demonstrate historicity. But they demonstrate that memoires about Jesus were in fairly wide circulation. This makes it less likely that the corresponding points within the Gospels were the invention of a single author. If that were the case than such invention would have to be early enough and authoritative enough to have been distributed and unchallenged across the diverse communities with which Paul dealt. Such an hypothesis of course would work against the premise that Paul's form of Christianity had little to do with those shaping the memory of Jesus.".[6]
42 And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, to fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayers. 43 Then fear came over everyone, and many wonders and signs were being performed through the apostles. 44 Now all the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 So they sold their possessions and property and distributed the proceeds to all, as anyone had a need. 46 And every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple complex, and broke bread from house to house. They ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And every day the Lord added those being saved to them.
"No one is likely to deny that a tradition that is being handed on by word of mouth is likely to undergo modification. This is bound to happen, unless the tradition has been rigidly formulated and has been learned with careful safeguard against the intrusion of error" Tradition was controlled....[Neil adds in a fn:] "This is exactly the way in which the tradition was handed on among the Jews. IT is precisely on this ground that Scandinavian scholar H. Risenfeld in an essay entitled "The Gospel Tradition and its Beginnings" (1957) has passed some rather severe strictures on the form cuticle method. [10]
Communities that live in an oral culture tend to be story-telling communities. They sit around in long evenings telling and listening to stories--the same stories, over and over again. Such stories, especially when they are involved with memorable happenings that have determined in some way the existence and life of the particular group in question, acquire a fairly fixed form, down to precise phraseology (in narrative as well as in recorded speech), extremely early in their life--often within a day or so of the original incident taking place. They retain that form, and phraseology, as long as they are told. Each village and community has its recognized storytellers, the accredited bearers of its traditions; but the whole community knows the stories by heart, and if the teller varies them even slightly they will let him know in no uncertain terms. This matters quite a lot in cultures where, to this day, the desire to avoid 'shame' is a powerful motivation. [11]
If we knew that half of the information in a particular Gospel was based on "firsthand sources and even eyewitnesses", then we might infer that at least half of the events or details in the Gospel were historically reliable (although without knowing anything about the personality, character, history, mental health and intelligence of the persons who were the supposed eyewitnesses, this would be a questionable inference), but since we don't know which events or details have such backing, it would be the toss of a coin as to whether a given event or detail had such eyewitness evidence behind it. But we don't even know this much. We don't know whether 10% of the events and details of a particular Gospel are based on "firsthand sources and even eyewitnesses" or whether 30% or 50% or 70% of events and details are based on such evidence. Thus, the weak concession that Johnson makes here is of little significance.
As I have tried to show, the character of the Gospel narratives does not allow a fully satisfying reconstruction of Jesus ministry. Nevertheless certain fundamental points when taken together with confirming lines of convergence from outside testimony and non-narrative New Testament evidence, can be regarded as historical with a high degree of probability. Even the most critical historian can confidently assert that a Jew named Jesus worked as a teacher and wonder-worker in Palestine during the reign of Tiberius, was executed by crucifixion under the prefect Pontius Pilate, and continued to have followers after his death. These assertions are not mathematically or metaphysically certain, for certainty is not within the reach of history. But they enjoy a very high level of probability."[12]
The Gospel of the Saviour, too. fits this description. Contrary' to popular opinion, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were not included in the canon simply because they were the earliest gospels or because they were eyewitness accounts. Some non canonical gospels are dated roughly to the same period, and the canonical gospels and other early Christian accounts appear to rely on earlier reports. Thus, as far as the physical evidence is concerned, the canonical gospels do not take precedence over the noncanonical gospels (in terms of history--they do in doctrine). The fragments of John, Thomas and the Egerton Gospel share the distinction of being the earliest extant pieces of Christian writing known. And although the existing manuscript evidence for Thomas dates to the mid-second century, the scholars who first published the Greek fragments held open the possibility that it was actually composed in the first century, which would put it around the time John was composed.[13]

Our big announcement on the Trump-Russia scandal.
As Texas Gov. Rick Perry deals with the fallout from the revelation that his family leases a hunting camp called "Niggerhead," Herman Cain is facing his own backlash—for suggesting that the Perrys' conduct was "insensitive."
According to the Washington Post, Perry's family leases a piece of land referred to by local residents as "Niggerhead"; the word is carved into a rock at the entrance of the property. The rock was painted over sometime after the Perry family began renting the property in the 1980s, although the offending word is still "faintly visible." Locals interviewed by the Post provided comic rationalizations for why the name isn't offensive. Haskell County Judge David Davis told the paper, "It's just a name…Like those are vertical blinds. It's just what it was called." Perry, for his part, told the Post that the term was an "offensive name that has no place in the modern world."
Herman Cain, appearing on ABC's This Week, offered Perry the most mild of rebukes considering he's old enough to recall what life was like when segregation was the law of the land. "I think that it shows a lack of sensitivity for a long time of not taking that word off of that rock and renaming the place," he said.
Wrong answer, Herman.
You might have anticipated that Perry would face a firestorm for being associated with the property, but it's Cain whose remarks are drawing the most criticism from the right. At RedState, Erick Erickson concluded, "It also seems to be a slander Herman Cain is picking up and running with as a way to get into second place." Glenn Reynolds remarked that until now, Cain's "big appeal is that he's not just another black race-card-playing politician." Over at the Daily Caller, Matt Lewis called Cain's remarks "a cheap shot, and, perhaps a signal that Cain is willing to play the race card against a fellow Republican when it benefits him."
The key phrase here is "fellow Republican." Because, you see, no one thought Cain was "playing the race card" when he said in the same program that black people are "brainwashed" into voting for Democrats and suggested that black people who vote Republican are "thinking for themselves." Cain wasn't rebuked by conservatives when he previously suggested President Barack Obama was not "a strong black man," implied liberals were out to commit genocide against blacks through support for abortion rights, and said he wouldn't appoint a Muslim to his cabinet.
None of that, in the eyes of the conservatives who cheered him for those remarks, constituted "playing the race card." But when a man who is old enough to recall living under American apartheid gets a little emotional over a piece of land called "Niggerhead," that's where the right draws the line. Not just because Cain is attacking a fellow Republican, but because he stepped out of the proper role of a black conservative, which is to reassure Republicans that their political problems with race are the inventions of a liberal conspiracy. Cain just ran head first into the brick wall of conservative anti-anti-racism, the attitude on the right that accusations of racism directed at white people are of far greater consequence than any lingering vestiges of institutional racism nonwhites might face.
There's also more than a little irony in Perry facing a racial controversy, especially considering the fact that it's his relatively moderate record on immigration that has given him the most trouble in the GOP presidential primary. Given Cain's remarks about Obama and black voters, Michele Bachmann's support for a return to the pre-1965 immigration system (which involved racial quotas), and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's ad that mostly consists of former Mexican President Vicente Fox praising Perry in heavily accented English, Perry's campaign has been largely devoid of race-baiting when compared with his opponents.
Yet conservatives might rally around Perry's embattled campaign because a man with the living memory of what life was like for black people in the segregated South had the chutzpah to suggest that there was something "insensitive" about a place called "Niggerhead." Meanwhile, Cain, whose stock was rising prior to the controversy, may have harmed his own presidential ambitions with the mere suggestion that a white Republican had been "insensitive" on an issue of race. How's that for postracial?

Re: st: Re: Why include leads (in a model with lags)?
Misha Spisok <email@example.com>
Re: st: Re: Why include leads (in a model with lags)?
Thu, 8 Oct 2009 13:44:41 -0700
Thank you for pointing out that my question is related to Granger
causality. I assume that a test of Granger causality that includes
leads (rather than only lags) would address my initial question. I
have questions about implementing this below.
I also appreciated David Greenberg's intuitive response.
The short version of my new question is, "How can I test for Granger
causality with more than two variables in a panel data setting?" I
may be asking the wrong question, so I give more detail below. In
short, -var- does not allow panel data or leads and the only
suggestion I found to address this mentioned -levinlin-, the
application of which is not clear to me.
Going back and revising my proposed model, I suppose I should add some
of the complications that I face.
y_i,t = b_0 + b_1*X_i,t + b_2*X_i,t-1 + b_3*X_i,t-2 + P'Z_i,t + u_i,t
To be clear, I have added a subscript 'i' to indicate that this is a
panel and have also included a number of other regressors, Z_i,t, and
their coefficients, P. Also, let's suppose that the Z_i,t are
"accepted" as being explanatory variables for y_i,t, but testing the
role of X_i,t is the goal. So the suggestion is to add leads of X_i,t
to the proposed model.
y_i,t = b_0 + b_1*X_i,t + b_2*X_i,t-1 + b_3*X_i,t-2 + b_4*X_i,t+1 +
b_5*X_i,t+2 + P'Z_i,t + e_i,t
If I understand correctly from the wiki, I would begin by estimating
the following,
Delta y_i,t = a_0 + a_1*Delta y_i,t-1 + ... + a_k*Delta y_i,t-k
adding Delta y_i,t-k until the p-value increased (or t-stat decreased)
past some threshold. The next step would be to add Delta X_i,t-j as
long as the addition of Delta X_i,t-j is statistically significant and
provides explanatory power.
In the context of a model with additional regressors, should those
regressors be included? If so, should they be included while adding
Delta y_i,t-k? Or only after determining the appropriate number of
lags to include of Delta y_i,t?
Also, when adding Delta X_i,t-j, does the order of adding leads or lags matter?
Finally, if I had, instead of only one variable of interest (here,
X_i,t), I had an additional variable of interest (say, W_i,t), would
the procedure be the same except that I would add incremental leads
and lags of X and W at the same time? Or would it be of interest to
carry out the procedure with, say, X, then repeat the procedure with W
and see whether that differs from the results when carrying out the
procedure with W and then X?
The wiki article mentions that a test of more than two variables can
be handled with vector autoregression. However, Stata's -var- command
does not work on panel data (at least in Stata 10.1); moreover, -var-
does not seem to allow leads (which assumes that this would be an
appropriate way to test for the significance of leads). Assuming I
haven't bollocksed up everything to this point, can someone suggest a
"manual" way to test for Granger causality among three variables in a
panel data setting? I noted a thread titled "Granger with fixed
effect - panel data", but I am unsure of (1) how testing for a unit
root using -levinlin- relates to Granger causality and (2) how this
could be extended to two or more variables.
Many thanks for your time and attention.

Portrait of Cosette from Les Misérablesby Elephant Trunk Studio
Collect your choice of gallery quality Giclée, or fine art prints custom trimmed by hand in a variety of sizes with a white border for framing.
This is a mixed media of Cosette from Victor Hugo's classic, Les Misérables. It is one of my favorite books (and also my favorite musical). This piece shows her in the time when she lived with Monsieur and Madame Thénardier, who treat her like a servant. Luckily, her fortune soon changes as she is taken in by the kind Jean Valjean.
"In the place she is called The Lark. People like figurative names and were pleased thus to name this little being, not larger than a bird, trembling, frightened, and shivering, awake every morning first of all in the house and the village. Only the poor lark never sang."

Posted by Henry Dewing on January 21, 2011
You may have noticed that I was, along with the other 1,100+ professionals at Forrester, out of the office this past week. We were all together in Boston talking about our success in 2010 (I can't talk about that — you'll have to wait for official results to be reported next week) and more importantly about Forrester's Vision, Values, Strategies, and Tactics to help make our clients successful. We spent time both looking inward, thinking about how we think we can do better, and scanning the horizon by asking key clients who map themselves to each of our roles to talk about what they do every day and how they are recognized and rewarded within their own companies.
I left the meetings feeling jazzed that we were truly achieving success by putting our clients first and that we had a plan to extend and accelerate our ability to positively affect every leader and every decision. I also left the meetings with that tension all analysts get in their gut: What will this strategy look like in the future? How will our values change the market's perception of Forrester?

I used garlic salt to season the veggies, my wife loved them. It took a little longer than 5 minutes on medium heat, so I just put the flame on high to finish them up. Pretty easy to follow!

Information Request Letter, June 24, 2013 - Novoeight
Our Reference: BL125466/0
Novo Nordisk Inc.
Attention: Lewis Pollack, PhD
June 24, 2013
Sent by email
Dear Dr. Pollack:
We are reviewing your October 15, 2012 biologics license application (BLA) for Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant), Plasma/Albumin Free [NovoEight]. We determined that the following information is necessary to continue our review:
- Regarding the acceptance criteria for ----------(b)(4)---------- in the Drug Substance Specification, the results of batch analyses (section 3.2.S.4.4) indicate that the (b)(4) levels are consistently lower than the proposed acceptance limit of ---(b)(4)--- (equivalent to -------(b)(4)------ of FVIII). Please tighten the acceptance limit for (b)(4) based on the manufacturing capability, or provide a risk assessment based on data to justify the proposed (b)(4) level of --(b)(4)--.
- ----------------(b)(4)-------------- impurities in Drug Substance and Drug Product are assessed by ----------------------(b)(4)------------------------ determined by ---(b)(4)---. To better represent all (b)(4) impurities, please use the ------------------------------(b)(4)------------------------ to calculate the percentage, and revise the acceptance criteria for (b)(4) impurities in the Drug Substance and Drug Product Specifications accordingly.
- Specific Activity is not included in Drug Product Specification based on the reasoning that it can be calculated from the Specification parameters Content and Potency. Please include Specific Activity, as a parameter to define product purity, in the Drug Product Specification.
- Acceptance limit for Endotoxin is calculated based on requirements of ---------------------------------------------(b)(4)--------------------------------------------------------" which results in increasing acceptance limits for higher dosage strengths (e.g., from -------------------------------------------------(b)(4)--------------------------------------------). The release and 18-month long-term stability data indicate that the Endotoxin levels in the Drug Product, even at the highest dosage strength (3000 IU), are ------(b)(4)------. To better ensure product safety and represent manufacturing capability, please tighten the limit of Bacterial Endotoxin and use one limit for all dosage strengths in the Release and Stability Specifications based on your manufacturing experience.
- Please correct the dilution factor of samples from ----(b)(4)---- in the Endotoxin Validation Report and revise the Report accordingly (Sequence #0010 dated 15 March 2013).
- Analyses of Excipients are not included in Drug Product Specification based on the reasoning that --(b)(4)--- is an adequate indicator of excipient concentrations and (b)(4) is an indicator for Histidine content in the reconstituted product. However, ---(b)(4)--- does not provide information on the relative contents of the excipients, and (b)(4) does not measure the exact amount of Histidine in a solution. Therefore, please include quantitative measurements of excipients (calcium chloride, sodium chloride, L-Histidine and Sucrose) in the Drug Product Specification.
- Recommendations regarding the Labeling (Prescribing Information and vial/carton labels) will be provided as part of the labeling review. In particular , please:
- Use the proper name Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant) in the labeling and remove definition Plasma/Albumin-Free.
- Provide respective details of the manufacturing process in section 11 Description: "No additives of human or animal origin are used in the production (the cell culture and purification processes) or in the formulation of NovoEight."
- Indicate the actual potency of the NovoEight lot in International Units on the vial and carton labels.
- With reference to Table 3 in the file named novoDOCS:001161268, Novo is planning to keep sterility testing but remove the parameter bacterial endotoxin from the proposed on-going stability protocol. Considering that sterility testing has its scientific and practical limitations, please also keep the parameter bacterial endotoxin in this protocol through its shelf-life.
- The acceptance criterion of Purity is set to be --(b)(4)-- in all stability protocols, whereas all stability data provided in the submission indicated that the test results for purity were (b)(4). To better control product quality and represent manufacturing capability, please revise the acceptance criterion of Purity.
- Regarding batch ---(b)(4)--- in the in-use stability study (novoDOCS:001118426), the test result of --------------------(b)(4)-------------------- was out of the specification of (b)(4) at the 4-hour time-point during storage at 30ºC after reconstitution. Please provide data to support the proposed in-use stability of the reconstituted final product for 4 hours at 30ºC.
- Please confirm the following Post Marketing Commitment (PMC):
Novo Nordisk commits to include at least one commercial batch each of 500 IU, 1000 IU, and 1500 IU strengths in their stability study, and these batches should be monitored under the referenced storage conditions as described on page 4 of 11 of the document novoDOCS: 001161237. The interim stability data from these batches should be submitted as annual updates (PMC Submission – Status Update) through the dating period, and a final report should be submitted within 3 months of completion (PMC Submission – Final Study Report).
The review of this submission is on-going and issues may be added, expanded upon, or modified as we continue to review this submission.
Please submit your response to this information request as an amendment to this file by July 29, 2013 referencing the date of this request. If you anticipate you will not be able to respond by this date, please contact the Agency immediately so a new response date can be identified.
The action due date for this file is October 15, 2013.
If you have any questions, please contact me at (301) 827-6116.

|#15 Ohio State 2-0, 0-0 Big Ten Roster | Schedule
|November 19, 2009 9:30 PM ET - ESPN2 —— The Garden New York City, NY
|#4 North Carolina 3-0, 0-0 ACC Roster | Schedule
After stomping 2 inferior teams, it's time for the Big Boys, as the Buckeyes travel to NYC tonight to take on the defending National Champs at Madison Square Garden in the 2K Sports Coaches vs. Cancer Classic.
Both teams come in undefeated, taking down lesser opponents with pretty good ease, although UNC has shown their team is still trying to adjust to each other, after losing most of their scoring punch and leaders from last year's squad.
There is no doubt this should be an exciting game, an up and down affair similar to the early season game played by these 2 schools in 2006, when UNC took down the Greg Oden-less Buckeyes, 98-89.
|Evan Turner
|Marcus Ginyard
|Jon Diebler
|Larry Drew II
|William Buford
|Will Graves
|David Lighty
|Deon Thompson
|Dallas Lauderdale
|Ed Davis
North Carolina has beaten their foes by an average of 25 PPG this year, although Valpo lost by just 11 on Sunday. The Heels will be lead by Deon Thompson, the silky smooth 6'8" senior, who has posted 20 point games in 2 of the 3 played. Also across the front line will be sophomore Ed Davis, a 6'11" athletic center, who has hit 74 percent of his shots thus far. Throw in Tyler Zeller, a 7' sixth man, who comes in averaging 12 points and the Buckeyes could see trouble inside the lane.
The back court will be just as lethal, with senior Marcus Ginyard and sophomore Larry Drew II controlling the pace of play. Like OSU, North Carolina will look to push the ball up the court, looking for quick scores. The Tar Heels have scored 88, 89 and 88 points in their 3 games and average 40 total boards and 12 offensive caroms a game. The achilles heel thus far have been TO's, recording 26 in their first game, 19 the second and 14 against Valpo.
The Heels will go at least 10 deep, with 9 players averaging more than 10 minutes a game and 2 more getting just above 9 minutes of time. Plain and simple, they push the ball up the court, look to get offensive rebounds and continue to come at you in waves. I like the depth and athleticism the Buckeyes have this year, but it will take their best effort to pull the upset tonight.
Buckeye Breakdown:
Mark Titus put it best yesterday via Twitter, "Y'all need to call Batman cause The Villain's about to take over Gotham City." Evan Turner has been unstopable this year and will get his chance to shine in America's greatest basketball arena, against one of the most talented teams in the country. Obviously, he won't be able to do it alone and the game will come down to the scoring abilities of Diebler, Buford and Lighty. If these 3 guys can each get close to 15 points a piece tonight, the Bucks have a chance.
One key tonight will be if they can get to the bucket. With the height of UNC's front line, they can't be intimidated to drive the ball inside and end up settling for the outside jumper. They have to take it right to the Heels front court and worst case, get their bigs in some foul trouble. Chucking up nothing but 3 pointers could spell doom, of course unless they are draining most of them.
Another key for tonight, as has been the case for the last 2 years, is rebounding. The Heels will have at least 2 players above 6'9" in the game at all times and there aren't too many teams that crash the boards better then the Heels. This should be Lauderdale's first start of the season, but we still don't know what his conditioning level will be and if he gets into early foul trouble because he is laboring up and down the court, Madsen and Big Z have to log most of the minutes, which doesn't give me the warm fuzzy I would like to have going into this game.
The last key for pulling off the upset tonight will be the play of PJ Hill and Jeremie Simmons. Hill has yet to show his shooting stroke he worked so hard on over the summer, going 0-7 this year, including 0-6 from behind the arc. Simmons is averaging 10 points a game, but scored just 5 in the last contest and has dished out only 2 assists on the season. The pace should be so frantic, that these 2 have to give Thad some quality minutes off the bench.
The aspect that will be most interesting to me tonight, is the pace the Buckeyes will play at. Will Thad let them run like they have thus far and take his chances on outscoring the Heels? Or will he try to slow the pace just a bit and run some set offensive plays in the half court? Regardless, it should be one of the best games this season, so get an after work nap in, if your normal bedtime is before 9:30.
On a side note, we would like to help promote a worthy cause over at ClubTrillion.com and more importantly, A Kid Again. For those of you that don't know, A Kid Again was recently known as Adventures for Wish Kids, a charitable organization that helps kids with life threatening illnesses feel like, well a kid again. I personally got to know the foundation this past summer, as my company helped publish their fundraising book and quite simply, they are amazing people with huge hearts, who volunteer all their time to these kids in need. Now it's ClubTillion's turn.
We make no bones about the fact ClubTrillion is one of our favorite blogs and now when you visit his site, you can make a $25 donation to A Kid Again and you'll receive a free ClubTril tshirt. The shirts appear to be made by our friend Ryan over at Homage, who always puts out quality work on super comfy shirts. Now do your part and follow 11W's lead, by making a donation towards this worthy cause and filling Columbus with ClubTril shirts this hoops season.
- UNC leads the series 9-2 and has won the last 4.
- Turner ranks 4th nationally with 17 rebounds a game.
- Ohio State will play either #24 Syracuse or #12 California tomorrow at 5 or 7:30.
- Luke will be liveblogging the game around these parts at 9:00. Feel free to stop on by.

May 15, 2012
Chicago, IL (rushPRnews) 05/15/12 — elicit Secures $1.5 Million Series A Funding For Roll Out of New Software that Transforms On-Site Search
elicit (http://www.elicitsearch.com), a software as a service (SaaS) company that has designed technology to help marketers easily improve the on-site search experience – and improve conversions via on-site search - today announced $1.5 million in Series A Funding.
"For the last few years we were seeing a growing trend of users going right to the search box as a first point of action when visiting a site," said Adam Heneghan, co-founder and President, elicit. "Traditionally search has been an algorithm-only solution and has lived primarily under the domain of IT. The search box is a critical moment for brands to interface with their customers when they're most motivated and providing explicit information about their particular need. Our opinion is that it's such an important interaction that marketers should participate in that conversation and not leave it solely to an algorithm. elicit was built to provide marketers with tools to engage in the interaction and the results have been significant."
elicit was developed by Eric and Adam Heneghan, two long-time web and ecommerce veterans. The Heneghans have more than twenty years of experience developing online solutions and web applications for Fortune 500 companies, including GM, Procter & Gamble, United Airlines, Kellogg's, Hallmark, Motorola, and many others.
With elicit search currently in use by numerous customers who are experiencing measurable and profitable results, elicit will use the Series A funding to ramp up the company's marketing and sales effort.
Companies currently using elicit have seen immediate, measurable impacts from an improved on-site search experience. elicit delivered a 20% increase in customer satisfaction while site abandonment was cut in half. Companies currently using elicit to drive their on-site search results have recorded conversion rates as high as 17%.
"elicit elevates site search and creates an immediate, measurable bottom line impact on sales and conversions," said Ian Hackett, senior director of ecommerce and user experience at TRX (http://www.trxtraining.com/). TRX is the creator of Suspension Training® and Rip™ Training Equipment used by top fitness trainers, gyms, pro athletes, and the US military. "Digital marketers know the importance of converting traffic and buyers that reach your site. elicit has provided us with one of our most effective points of conversion."
"These guys have addressed an issue that isn't on many marketers' radar yet," said Chris Fralic, First Round Capital. "CMOs are not laying awake at night thinking, 'my search is broken.' As the data from elicit is demonstrating, it is a big deal at the tail end of conversion. So much time and money has been spent getting consumers to the site, marketers need tools that help reduce barriers and increase conversion."
elicit's Series A investors include Greycroft Partners, led by Ian Sigalow. Co-founder and partner at Greycroft Partners, Sigalow was the founder of StrongData Corporation. He's also involved in investing and management of multiple technology companies, including Board Member at Collective Media, TagMan, Resonate Networks, and others.
Greycroft Partners was founded by Alan Patricof. Patricof's investment career includes the formation of Apax Partners – one of the world's leading private equity firms with $35 billion under management. Patricof has been an early investor and key backer of many widely recognized companies and brands including Apple Computer, Office Depot, America Online, Audible, and many others.
First Round Capital is an early-stage venture capital firm with offices San Francisco, New York, and Philadelphia. First Round Capital's portfolio companies, include, among others: Bazaarvoice, Monetate, Modcloth, One Kings Land and Fab.
ff Ventures is venture capital firm who have made over 100 investments in more than 35 companies since 1999. ff Ventures successful investments have included
Cornerstone OnDemand (which raised $137m in a March 2011 IPO, NASDAQ:CSOD) and Quigo Technologies. ff Ventures portfolio includes livefyre, Klout, 500px, and #hashable.
Michael Lazerow's L3 investment fund also invested in elicit. Lazerow is a serial entrepreneur and founder of Buddy Media whose Facebook management system, the Buddy Media Platform, is used by eight out of the top ten global advertisers. Lazerow's current investments include Village Vines, Saving Star, Social Flow, Social Leverage, TagMan and Copious.

Raymond Pavloski, Department of Psychology, gave a presentation entitled "Neural
Networks in the Early Visual System May Create What they Cannot Compute: Temporal
Sequences of Connected Open Sets of Neurons With Non-Empty Intersections as Visual
Objects" at the 2014 Toward a Science of Consciousness conference in Tucson, Arizona.
Pavloski's presentation summarized his recent
neural network research, which is focused on understanding the relationship
between brain activity in the visual system and aspects of visual experience.
Building on a topological model of the visual oneness of an object as its
appearance changes in size and shape, Pavloski developed computer simulations
that demonstrate how neural networks in the first stages of visual processing
can create such a model. By doing this, neural networks may create that aspect
of visual experience.
Celebrating its 20th anniversary, Toward a Science of Consciousness is the largest and
longest-running interdisciplinary conference emphasizing broad and rigorous
approaches to the study of conscious awareness. An estimated 700–800
participants from over 60 countries were expected to take part in this year's event.

Thanks Cap't Crunch. I was going to say the same thing. BTW, JD thanks for the heads up on this book. Have you read it? If so howz about a full review?
On a side note this book is in its 5th revision, and I see he offers free updates which is pretty cool.

Edmund Burke

Henry Ward Beecher
Oh, yeah, ...links and stuff--I suck. Sorry.
My personal opinion, is, this book is without peer in presenting legalspeak with its english translation. The only grey areas are, well, grey areas. Some of these are what Mr. Gutmacher refers to as 'test cases'. One of the biggies is getting involved in unknown third party situations (read "pizza shop beating"). Not enough precedence set in Fla law to guarantee you aint goin to da big house yourself for getting involved to the point of a lethal force encounter. Hell, there's folks here doing stints for manslaughter/negligent homicide that I or any reasonable person would think was a righteous shoot.
This book breaks laws AND thier respective court decisions down to a level even I can understand (no easy task). I read it through the first night I purchased it and have reviewed it for most of the 'what if' questions that appear on the forums I respond to. If you've got a question about anything firearms related in Florida, this book will have the answere IF IT has an answere with precedence set by the courts.
If I were a state legislator, I would make it mandatory for each license issued to have this book issued as well. At the state's cost, of course. Its that important. So many people I speak with at ranges and training schools think they've got it covered with a pistol, holster and a class or two. Nothing could be more dangerous than a lack of knowledge in the matter of responsible and law abiding firearms ownership.
The subtitle of the book is 'The Authoritative Guide That Explains Florida & Federal Laws on Firearms, Weapons, and SELF-DEFENSE ISSUES (emphasis mine). Again, I'll state that if you live in Florida, or visit Florida with a gun, please get this book.
Sounds like a good book wish someone would do it for most states so hard to rember everything

Q. An employee we hired two months ago has been absent frequently. She just informed us that: She is three months pregnant; is often too sick to work due to her pregnancy; has been told by her doctor that she can work only part-time for the next several months; and might be on bed rest for the last two months of her pregnancy. It is necessary for her to perform her job on a full-time basis without excessive absences. Is pregnancy covered under the ADA? Can we terminate her to hire someone who will be there full-time?
A. Pregnancy is generally not covered under the ADA because it's a temporary condition. Also, since the employee was hired only two months ago, she is not yet covered by the FMLA.
But, before terminating the employee, you should make sure you act consistently with past practice. The Pregnancy Discrimination Act prohibits discrimination based on pregnancy, meaning that you should treat pregnancy-related leave or absences just like any other type of leave.
Have there been other employees who have missed a lot of time who have not been terminated (other than those on leave under the FMLA)? Will the employee be able to argue that she is being treated less favorably because of her pregnancy? You should review the facts carefully before making any decision.

Gaucho announces Argentine wine winners
Sebastian Zuccardi was named "Winemaker's Winemaker" at the Gaucho Argentine Winemaker Awards last night.
The event was well attended by the country's winemakers who are over for the Beautiful South tasting happening this week.
The awards celebrate the best of the Argentine wine industry and each award involves the winemakers themselves voting for the winners.
Zuccardi's father, José, collected the award on his behalf and told the drinks business: "He's a very passionate guy and it makes me very happy.
"It's good we have a new generation. For the first time in Argentina we have a new generation coming."
Manos Negras' 2009 Malbec was named Wine of the Year and Matias Michelini was named Young and New Winemaker of the Year.
Winery of the year was Bodegas Fabre, Nicolas Audebert of Cheval des Andes was named Non-Argentine Winemaker of the Year, while the Brand Innovation Award went to Matias Riccitelli's Republica Malbec.
Gaucho's director of wines, Phil Crozier, commented: "These awards give Gaucho the opportunity to highlight and celebrate some of the most innovative and talented wine-makers in the wine world today."
"At Gaucho we're champions of the unique terroirs in Argentina that produce some of the most famous wines in the world, which is reflected in our stand-out new wine list this autumn that includes a new section highlighting the new generation of winemakers in Argentina."

There is no gurantee anybody will be willing to trade up to give us that extra 4th. McNeil could easily go at the end or Round 1 or, more likely, at the beginning of Round 2. And so on and so forth. However, it certainly isn't out of the range of possibility. And what a draft it would be: A rush 'backer to start opposite of Ware. A big, talented OT to groom behind Flozell/Fabini.

Letter to Karl RoveNews at Home
Mr. Karl Rove
Senior Advisor to the President
Office of Political Affairs,
Office of Public Liaison, and
Office of Strategic Initiatives
The White House
Washington, DC 20016
Dear Karl:
Based on news accounts, I understand that you are a presidential history buff. According to The New York Times, not only have you been giving your boss history books to read (Edmund Morris's Theodore Rex), but you also called in a group of presidential historians for pretzels and conversation.
Like you, my former boss Richard Nixon was a history buff. Over the years he'd closely studied many of the men who preceded him to The White House. He was particularly interested in the presidencies of those who were widely considered by presidential scholars to be"great" or"near great." These, of course, include Lincoln, FDR, Washington, Jefferson, TR, Wilson, Jackson and one president whose presence on the list always annoyed Nixon: Truman. But Nixon read about other presidents as well.
For instance, the last book I know that Nixon read was John F. Kennedy's Thirteen Great Mistakes in the White House by Malcolm E. Smith. It came up in a conversation. The President was explaining why he had no problem with his chief of staff turning the FBI loose on newsman Dan Schorr, trying to shake up Schorr a bit: Schorr was writing tough stories about Nixon.
When the unshakable Schorr learned that he was being investigated, and wanted to know why, he was simply lied to - a dirty deed done by your boss's pal Fred Malek, who told Schorr he was being considered for a job in the Nixon Administration.
Nixon compared this skullduggery with the conduct towards reporters of the Kennedy White House."In the Kennedy case, they got three reporters the hell out of bed and said we want to know where, what is the source of your, ah, what is the source of your [information], uh, (brief pause) it is --," he said, but didn't finish the thought."You can get it in a little book called Kennedy's Thirteen Mistakes by Malcolm Smith, Jr. and, there's a chapter on this on this policy. It's a fascinating little story, don't you forget it," he instructed.
When he first mentioned the Malcolm book, I thought he was going to say that using the FBI to harass newsmen was a mistake. My immediate reaction was that it was a really good idea that he was reading about what went wrong for other presidents. We had lots of things going wrong, and they were getting worse. Schorr's learning he was being investigated by the FBI was the least of those problems. But I quickly realized that Nixon was using Kennedy's mistakes as a justification for his own.
All Americans should be gratified that you appear to be scanning presidential history for mistakes not to justify activities, but rather looking for signposts to avoid problems. It is difficult to imagine a better use of history.
Given the problems facing President Bush in the aftermath of the September 11th terrorist attacks, it's been reported that you are exploring Andrew Johnson's failure to meet the crisis of reconciliation and reconstruction following the Civil War and Lincoln's assassination, Herbert Hoover's failure to rally the nation to deal with economic depression, Woodrow Wilson's delay in committing the country to World War I, along with his mistakes at Versailles, and Warren Harding's difficulties with post-WWI America.
I was taken aback, however, to read your response to what might be learned from the Nixon presidency."Is there something specific that we've drawn from Nixon? I'm not aware," you are reported as telling Richard Berke of the New York Times, a reporter not known for misquotes. I can understand why you want to keep your distance from Richard Nixon. But I hope that you're not truly ignoring him.
No president has abused his powers as Richard Nixon did, often acting under the color of"national security." The business of national security has always been a bit hazy, but clearly what was legitimately national security, and what was not, got a bit confused during the Nixon presidency. September 11th has created a new set of national security problems. It's long been said that studying history prevents repeating it. While trite, it is surely true.
It's unimaginable that the Bush Administration would want to risk repeating the mistakes of the Nixon presidency, yet the continuing insistence on secrecy by your White House is startlingly Nixonian. I'm talking about everything from stiffing Congressional requests from information and witnesses, to employing an executive order to demolish the 1978 law providing public access to presidential papers, to forcing the Government Accounting Office to go to Court to obtain information about how the White House is spending tax money when creating a pro-energy industry Vice Presidential task force. The Bush Administration apparently seeks to reverse the post-Watergate trend of open government.
As you are the President's top political adviser, let me draw to your attention the political wisdom of a man who served in the cabinet or sub-cabinet of Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon and Ford, and then eighteen years as the U.S. senator from New York, Daniel Patrick Moynihan. He's not only an able politician but a student of government secrecy, most recently serving as chairman of a bipartisan Commission on Protecting and Reducing Government Secrecy. You might want to take a look at his recent book, entitled Secrecy. Senator Moynihan sums it up nicely:"secrecy is for losers."
Best wishes, and I hope that you will reconsider ignoring the mistakes of the Nixon presidency.
John Dean

It is evident that the Bush Regime is relying heavily on the ignorance and indiffernce of the American people. Most do not have the slightest idea that this is a very,very secretive administration. But I can understand their secrecy because it only emphasizes the reality that there is a MOUNTAIN OF COMPROMISED ETHICS HERE, THE LIKES OF WHICH THE AVERAGE AMERICAN CANNOT BEGIN TO PERCEIVE. We need investigative reporters like Greg Palast, an American who has been working fot the British Guardian to reveal the truth about the unethical Bushes.Congress is either too slow or just plain "chicken". The entire world is in mortal danger because of the Bushes. Let's expose them NOW!
