The concept of knowledge graphs is introduced as a method to represent the state of the art in a specific scientific discipline. Next the text analysis part in the construction of such graphs is considered. Here the 'translation' from text to graph takes place. The method that is used here is compared to methods used in other approaches in which texts are analysed.

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by Biggems, Nov 7, 2008.
would anyone be up for trying to sign him when he hits the FA market in a year or two?
more info needed
I'd rather we just draft a guy
say Northern Illinois DE Larry English
we should have drafted Robison, he would definitely help us with out pass rush.
true that
have you looked up English though? he's a player, could be another James Harrison, last 2 years he's been top 10 in the nation in sacks, having kind of a down year this year, but that probably has to do w/ the fact that Os are keying on him
Robison was drafted one pick ahead of us in the 2007 draft. We ended up picking Stanback. I wish Minnesota wouldnt have picked Robison, I think we may have.
Forgive my ignorance, but who is James Harrison
Pittsburgh OLB, came out of Kent State, took him a few years to break out, last year was his breakout season, he's beastly again this year, he's 6'2" 255 I believe
aahhh pittsburgh, no wonder i dont know who he is...i only know hampton and troy......
know yourself some Harrison and Lamarr Woodley, their 2 OLBs, beasts
James Farrior their ILB is a beast too
ok i know woodley and farrior....farrior was all over the redskins on Monday.
Ol' Robison just got himself a sack today. I liked him coming out of Texas, but haven't heard much of him since then. He's listed as a 3rd string DE, but every time I've watched Minnesota play this year, he's all over the place.
My guess is that he's a better player than our current depth. He's certainly got all of the athleticism you'd want in a player his size.
if not for Jared Allen, he would be starting. Of course, you can understand why he is the backup....Allen is a complete monster.

International Bar Association Annual Conference Scholarships
Conference Scholar
Depth and versatility summaries Thomas's experience as a commercial litigation associate. Breach of fiduciary and director's duties, audit negligence, commercial and infrastructural judicial review applications, defamation, and company litigation are just some of the areas of commercial litigation work Thomas has handles since qualifying in 2010.
The spectrum of clients served by Thomas is equally broad, ranging from high-profile television stations and multinational insurers to an international auditors' firm and a statutory airport operator. Notably, a number of Thomas's cases have been settled amicably or resolved in his clients' favor, including in particular a very high-profile commercial judicial review, with the Court rejecting the decision of Hong Kong's highest Executive decision-making body, and the Court's Judgment setting a legal precedent and becoming a reported decision.
In addition to his commercial litigation work, Thomas also has particular interests and experience in international legal affairs and advocacy. He has worked as a part-time lecturer (Non-clinical) at the
Faculty of Law at the University of Hong Kong, where he was responsible for coaching top students for an international mooting competition on the law of the World Trade Organization.
He has also been a Scholar of the International Bar Association Annual Conference Scholarships in 2010. He intends to obtain his higher rights of audience qualification and become a Solicitor Advocate shortly, and is also working on an Executive LLM degree at the London School of Economics.
Thomas speaks fluent Cantonese, English and Mandarin.

TPG China Media Buys Remaining Fox Stake in Phoenix Satellite TVJoshua Fellman
TPG China Media LP will buy Twenty-First Century Fox Inc.'s remaining 12.15 percent stake in China-focused broadcaster Phoenix Satellite Television Holdings Ltd. for HK$1.66 billion ($214 million).
TPG will buy 607 million shares at HK$2.73 each from Fox unit Star Entertainment Holdings Ltd., Hong Kong-based Phoenix said in a filing to that city's stock exchange yesterday. On completion, Fox, controlled by Rupert Murdoch, will no longer hold a stake in Phoenix and its directors will resign, Fox and TPG said in an e-mailed press release yesterday.
Star Entertainment sold 264 million shares, a 5.3 percent stake, at HK$2.72 each in March, Phoenix said at the time. Murdoch had owned a stake in the broadcaster since before the company first sold shares to the public in 2000.

I think it looks great. JMO, of course. I'm thinking silver (myself).
I like it. But...... where is the trunk lid? The rear glass ends just before the end of the car. How big can the trunk be?
it looks a little tall, but otherwise it looks good. The lighting and angles just suck. It's very sedate in it's appearances, which is fine for it's possition. The Lexus LS isn't exactly eye-poping either.

The DTS wasen't exactly designed to be a tire burner either, cars in this class are traditional luxury, in a driving sense they're very boring. A LS is probally the best and worst large luxury sedan I've driven. It gets the details perfect while remaining detached from the road and without even a hint of feeling what so ever. The LS is a car you could fall asleep driving 100mph in LA traffic.I've come to expect Lexus vehicles to be boring...
The dead on rear shot of the XTS is terrible...the "fin" lenses are way too small. The last pic of the 3/4 shot at a distance is also horrible. I'm almost seeing bustleback Seville in the tail... I do like the front end of that shot, however the thing is WAY tall... I do like the 4th and 5th pics -- the front really does look good to me. The 3rd pic of rear angle isn't quite so bad. I'm still liking the car WAY better in the front than in the back, or when the roof is involved.
I'm biased, of course, but compared to DTS -- well, there is no comparison. DTS is a modern looking traditional Cadillac. The XTS could be a Hyundai, Lexus, or Audi that is badged as a Cadillac, w/a little bit of A&S thrown in.

I was hoping we'd see a more retro exhaust port design like on the Cadillac Sixteen show car.
Looks like a cross between DTS & STS. Mostly boring. To bad, I am a 25 year V8 STS driver. No V8 or sporty look, to elegant
The only thing I can say I don't like about it is how the trunk looks way too short for the car. The back end also looks like it is a bit too high up. I still prefer the DTS design, much more.
This is really really really ugly.
I kind of hoped the real thing would look a bit better than the concept.
But it turned out to be much worse.
It looks like a midsize prius, especially from the back, it really does.
It is a sedan, but without a trunk, so it looks like a hatchback.
Who came up with that idea?
If this is the road for future Cadillacs, toyota lookalikes with a Cadillac grill, then I'm out.

azera.jpg Which came first, the new XTS or the new Hyundai Azera? Similar size, features, power, etc. Who's copying whom? The new XTS is not likely to show up in my garage at the price Cadillac is probably going to charge. Hope my DTS hangs in there for a long time. Ken.
There was a folk song in the '60's that talked about Little houses on the hillside, little houses made of ticky-tacky...and they all look just the same. Well, automotively speaking we've entered the design era of cars made of ticky-tacky and all looking pretty much the same..... Bummer....

Day 1 - Arrive Amalfi Coast
Upon arrival at the Amalfi Coast, you will be met by a member of the A&K team and driven to the Casa Angelina Lifestyle Hotel, your home for the next four nights.

Day 2 - Amalfi / Ravello
Today you'll meet your expert A&K guide for a half day exploration of the stunning Amalfi Coast, including Amalfi itself and Ravello. The Amalfi Drive is the most romantic drive in Italy, with the road running along the edge of rocky cliffs that plunge into the sea. The coast's largest town, Amalfi is dominated by the 10th-century Duomo fronted by a beautifully coloured 13th-century facade. Home to limoncello, your guide will show you the best places to sample the zesty nectar. The enchanting village of Ravello is said to have the best views along the coast, which can be enjoyed from the lovely Villa Rufolo.

Today you will leave the mainland for a full-day visit to the island of Capri. You'll be greeted in the lobby of your hotel by your guide and driven by luxury private vehicle to board the public ferry boat to the island where upon arrival you'll have a taxi at your disposal. Capri has constant sunshine and enjoys a welldeserved reputation as a Garden of Eden. The home of emperors, seat of monasteries, place of exile, and former haunt of goats and fisherman, its fortunes changed during the 19th century when European expatriates discovered its charms. You'll visit Villa St. Michele in Anacapri and enjoy a boat excursion to the iridescent Blue Grotto, and at the end of your day you'll return to your hotel on the mainland.
Day 4 - Pompeii / Vesuvius
Pompeii and Vesuvius are your locations for today. Once an opulent town, the extensive and varied ruins of Pompeii now provide us with a rich history of life at the time of the Roman Empire.

You'll enjoy a panoramic drive up to Mount Vesuvius which dominates the Neapolitan landscape at over 1,200m above sea level. The sheer size of the crater is amazing and the summit affords a wonderful panorama of the Bay of Naples.

George Walker was incandescent with rage.
That morning the Independent had published the results of a three- month investigation that raised serious questions about the accounts in the company's key film division.
What angered the former boxer about the Independent's articles was not so much that he had been wronged but that it had upset his plans. With the company's share price in free fall, all his grandiose ambitions for the future seemed to lie in ruins.
Success in the film division was to be the springboard for Brent Walker's launch into the big time. The Independent's stories could not have come at a worse time.
Brent Walker was in the final stages of preparation for a massive rights issue to fund expansion. His plans were now unravelling before him.
Doubts in the City about Brent Walker had surfaced even before the Independent's story. A few months earlier Time Out magazine had revealed that in his youth Mr Walker had spent time in prison for robbery.
With the rights issue now in effect impossible, the company went on to fund its dramatic expansion through heavy borrowings - a strategy that later proved Mr Walker's undoing as recession gripped the property market. To raise the money Mr Walker first had to repair the company's credibility. Key to this was the appointment of KPMG Peat Marwick, one of the world's top accountancy firms, as auditor. Previously the company had been audited by the little-known Leigh Carr.
What Mr Walker did not know at that time was that there might have been close colleagues working behind his back. During the trial he agreed there were flows of money out of the company that he could not explain. Mr Walker said that, too busy to deal with detail, he would often put his signature on documents without reading them. And he agreed that on some papers his signature had been forged. Any wrongdoing appeared to be the work of other directors, the defence argued.
By 1990 Mr Walker had built a company turning over pounds 1.5bn a year in a hectic series of deals. It took less than two years for the house of cards to come tumbling down. By 1991 the edifice was insolvent, with debts of pounds 1.5bn, leaving Mr Walker the country's second-biggest bankrupt - behind Kevin Maxwell - with debts of pounds 180m. After Maxwell it was the biggest recent corporate collapse, another potent embarrassment to the Square Mile.
Mr Walker was yesterday acquitted of all charges against him. In his defence it was suggested that two film division directors, John Quested and Donald Anderson, were chiefly responsible for any wrongdoing.
Mr Walker was said to have trusted these 'two evil men' too much. Mr Anderson, the company's Mr Fix-it, vanished without trace some years ago. He remains at large with a warrant out for his arrest. Mr Quested, who ran the film division, now lives in America, where he is trying to rebuild his business career.
Using leaked internal working papers, the Independent said that a large proportion of Brent Walker's growth in profits came from the sale of film rights which appeared never to have taken place. Two deals were particularly suspicious.
The leaked papers, shown to the jury, showed that a 13-part drama series on the paranormal was sold in the US for pounds 3.23m. A further sale for pounds 4m was booked in the 1987 accounts. Called Worlds Beyond and starring the late Denholm Elliott, the figures were as fantastic as the series' subject matter.
Industry experts said the size of the sales would have made Worlds Beyond one of television's great money-spinning ventures. In fact there was no evidence of distribution or broadcast in America and the series proved hard to market elsewhere, pulling in only dollars 400,000.
Another film, Return of the Soldier, starring Glenda Jackson and Alan Bates, was said to have been snapped up in 1986 by Lorimar, the Los Angeles film group, for a total of dollars 1.5m. But Lorimar told the Independent it never bought any rights. A host of other film deals proved equally fictitious, it was claimed.
According to the prosecution, the so-called purchasers were in fact front companies controlled by associates. They were buying the film rights with Brent Walker cash or loans guaranteed by the company.
Between 1984 and 1987, the prosecution said, up to 16 fake sales were arranged, giving potential investors the impression of soaring profits.
In two months alone pounds 11m was said to have been laundered through an offshore bank and returned to Brent Walker as bogus profit. On 27 December 1987 about pounds 7m was deposited with the Royal Trust Bank, Isle of Man, passing through three in- house accounts before being returned to Brent Walker that very day. A month later, another pounds 4m went by the same route.
The money went to a Canadian company, then to Royal Trust Bank and on to Brent Walker. The bank's former managing director, William Cowie, later admitted that he should have been alert to alleged money laundering, but added: 'We were dealing with established customers of many years. Why should we think it was money laundering?'
Mr Cowie was not the only one to be fooled by inconsistencies in the accounts. Brent Walker's solicitor, Simmons & Simmons, fired off a libel writ against the Independent saying it had seen the film contracts and confirming they were proper arm's-length purchases.
An elaborate facade was created to cover up the fake profits, the prosecution alleged, in which the name of John Love was to feature prominently. Paperwork was produced claiming Mr Love, who had died some months earlier, controlled Universal Talent Management, an Isle of Man company said to have bought film rights from Brent Walker. In fact UTM was controlled by Mr Quested. Mr Love had nothing to do with the company.
The prosecution claimed that another forged letter showed that a Brent Walker consultant, Michael Eland, head of Paris-based Anglo French Investments, was paid pounds 5m in commission.
Some of the fake documents, supposedly created more than a year apart, contained the same simple errors and spelling mistakes. Given the number of so-called experts who looked over Brent Walker's accounts, it is odd that no one spotted inconsistencies earlier.
Brent Walker's long-standing auditor, Leigh Carr, had signed off the company's accounts year after year without question. Many people in the City found it strange that an ambitious company like Brent Walker should be using a small firm like Leigh Carr.
But after doubts about the accounts KPMG Peat Marwick was brought in to do a special review. Philip Hardacre, a KPMG partner, gave them a clean bill of health. Mr Hardacre, who appeared as a witness for the prosecution, said during the trial that he had been duped.
Leigh Carr faced a stinging attack during the trial. The prosecution said the firm was less than vigilant, adding: 'Auditors should play a watchdog role, but in this case it seems the bogus transactions were accepted and, at the very least, the auditors were asleep.'

- Publisher's Summary
- The present monograph addresses optical nonlinearities of chalcogenide glasses and their applications. Different techniques used to characterize non-linear optical constants of these glasses in form of bulk or thin films are discussed and properties of many chalcogenide systems are presented. Different applications of these glasses, such as ultra-fast switching, optical limiting, 2nd harmonic generation and electro-optic effects are discussed. Fabrication of rib as well as ridge waveguides and of fiber gratings is also presented and suitability of chalcogenide films for fabrication of all-optical integrated circuits is addressed.

Sibling Rivalry…Is It Inevitable?
Sibling rivalry… it is one of the oldest forms of conflict; it is universal and it's incredibly normal. The symptoms begin almost immediately as child number two is born and continues throughout childhood and often into teen years. For those of you who were an only child or had the rare "perfect relationship with your siblings growing up", sibling rivalry might be a new issue for you. Sibling rivalry can be defined as the jealousy, competition or fighting that… continue reading

We are preparing for a one year long south america bicycle trip. Mainlay Peru, Chile and Argentina. When touring here (Quebec, USA), i use a MYOG alcohol stove set and like it. It is simple to use and low noise. At first, i was sure i need a multi-fuel pressure stove for an extended south america trip. I read last week, alcohol may not be that bad to find there.
What do you think of alcohol stove for an extended trip in south america?
Would a wood stove + alcohol burner a better idea?
Any suggestion is welcomed.
if not enough info in their articles you can post questions and they will answer.
@snowleopardLocale: Mass.
Except in the Amazon, you should not use a wood stove (and in the Amazon, you may never find dry wood). In many places wood for fuel is scarce or non-existent and what there is should not be used by visitors. Many places have been deforested.
A liquid fueled stove, MSR XGK, Optimus Nova, etc. might be the easiest. The authors' of the article cited above would have more current info; I think they used a canister stove.
@justaddfuelLocale: MN
I think the only 2 reliable fuels are going to be denatured alcohol or white gas/kerosine/gas if you are going anywhere out of the way.
So that leaves you with an alcohol stove or a multi-fuel pump stove. I would go with an omnifuel stove from msr or primus personally as I have talked to people that ended up resorting to kerosine, paraffin or even regular gas in places.

Abortion has always been a touchy subject. The right wing has taken it to be an important cause the last few years. It seems like most people sit on one side or another, rarely changing their opinions even though internet blog comments are flooded with debates.
Reproductive health care is super important: Abortions asides, women rely on places like Planned Parenthood for preemptive testing for various diseases as well as birth control. No matter your opinions, they shouldn't be forced on someone else's body.
Some pro-choice Hollywood actress bravely shared other women's experiences and reasons for abortion. The hashtag #shoutyourabortion is has been trending on Twitter for the last few months, with more and more women being less ashamed and more supportive of others who choose to abort.

Faculty:Lord Ashcroft International Business School
Department:Human Resource Management and Organisational Behaviour Staff
Location: Cambridge
Dr Irene Skovgaard Smith holds a PhD from Copenhagen Business School, Denmark, an MSc and BSc in Social Anthropology from University of Copenhagen, Denmark, and an MA in International Human Resource Management from London Metropolitan University, UK.
Irene's specialty is the use of anthropological perspectives and ethnography in organisational contexts. Broadly speaking, this means a focus on exploring everyday life in organisations and associated identity construction, social interaction and relations between people.
Irene's research career to date is broad and varied, as she has carried out a range of qualitative research projects both in academic and applied contexts. Her PhD was an ethnographic study of management consultants and their interactions and relations with managers and employees in client organisations in the context of change.
Irene is interested in issues of identity and difference in organisations. Firstly, in the context of management consultants implementing change in client organisations where she focuses on exploring how different groups of staff navigate in relation to change and in so doing, collectively identify themselves and others depending on the situation they are in and the interests at stake. Secondly, in the context of cultural diversity in headquarter organisations of multinational companies in global cities where new forms of cosmopolitan, non-national identities are being formed.
Mainly in the areas of Organisational behaviour and Organisational change.

here's an essay i wrote for English this year based around the colours and rhythms of Africa; since it's more of a descriptive essay than a narrative, i thought i'd post it as a writing exercise. let me know what you think of it, and feel free to write about where you're from and why you think it's beautiful :)
Africa is alive with colour and sound. She is overrun with it; it bursts forth from her in a glorious display of wild beauty. People who do not know her are unaware of her every-day magnificence, but it is there - a vibrant explosion waiting for those who simply dare to look.
The hills of Africa are swathed in green; her extensive mountains are majestic, purple-robed royalty. After a night of indigo darkness, the sun begins to rise and the sky erupts, a volcano of colour, orange and yellow spewing from the horizon. Azure dominates the expanse of day-time sky and ripples through the waves along her coast, where multi-coloured fish swim silently by, enigmatic and beautiful.
There is a certain darkness in Africa, too; she is rife with blackened crops and barren soil. For centuries, she has been plundered and exploited, her land raped of its wealth and splendour, her children stolen and forced to work for the benefit of others. A vicious crimson has stained the ground; there are wounds here from untold injustices which still bleed. And yet in spite of this, she holds hope, golden and gleaming, in her injured hands. Stronger than the pain that has enfolded her, Africa looks forward with a song in her heart.
Africa's rhythm can be heard everywhere: in the cadence of a poet's words and the shuffle of thousands on their way to work each morning, in the pounding of a musician's drum, the stomp of a dancer's feet and the swing of a mother's soothing lullaby. The animals of Africa keep her pulse: the stealthy tread of a lion as it stalks its next meal, a herd of springbok running in time, the rapid beat of a hornbill's wings. The wind moves mysteriously through the trees, shaking their branches into applause for their mother Africa's display of rhythmic excellence.
There is a rhythm of rejoicing in Africa, a palpable explosion of joy amidst the daily throes of life. Alongside it runs a rhythm of mourning - a low keening cry for those who are lost, and a deep aching throb for those who will not return. The pulse of a heart, strong and sure, alive in this land of love and loss, entwines with the endlessly wandering rhythm of life and death. When you are an African, you walk along with this rhythm no matter where you are, for this is the beat of your bones; this is the song interwoven with the core of your being.
The lessons which Africa teaches with all of her colours and sounds are simple: look, listen and love. Whether you live here or not, there will always be truths to learn from this land, and the first is this: when it comes to colour and rhythm, there is no place on earth as alive as Africa.

The Beatific Soldier
His smile, partial yet entirely realized, drew hisses from his brothers-in-arms. Rifle slung low across his chest, he belted out word for word the most beautiful song yet heard by my pitiful ears. Blood caked on the lobes, trickling down my neck and into my shirt. The bombed out husk of the church created the perfect stage for young Alexander Goodchild to hold each and every one of us in Rapture.
Hands crossed, intertwined, nervously picked at scabs, scratched at filthy scalps. His voice leapt from low to high back and yet again soared. The planes buzzed by in the milky daylight, The sun infused with the droll smoke which lolled up into the sky. Our faces had an unearthly pallor. Sunken eyes rimmed with fatigue. Our cheekbones cut the wind which caressed our faces. Our bones shook to and fro.
His harmonies crescendoed over the falling munitions. The church floor heaved and rolled. The very earth upon which we stood gave way to the beatific Alexander and his siren song.
He climbed to his feet, as did each and every one of us. Clambered back to the living to catch one more earful of young Alexanders death rattle.
He choked back the very blood that he so wished to heave up and onto the Church foundation. Red teeth clenched, he continued on. The lot of us hidden beneath the thick black smoke lifting past the sun.
His voice. O' his voice, the last thing we heard before the final bomb fell.
Lord that voice.

A report emerged yesterday from gforgames that the next iPhone is unlikely to feature a sapphire screen because it would lead to skyrocketing iPhone prices. I have no problem with speculation on whether sapphire displays will or won't appear on Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) next iPhone. I do have a problem when the reason given makes zero dollars and cents. The reason given by gforgames for sapphire's exclusion from the next iPhone is because of price: "Fitting a sapphire screen on the next iPhone would make its price skyrocket." Additional details provided by gforgames are listed below:
According to Chinese media sources (which are citing 'Taiwan supply chain insiders'), Apple has put a lot of effort into fitting the next iPhone with a sapphire screen. These sources claim that 'beta' iPhone units (read: some of the prototypes Apple is currently testing) are already sporting sapphire protected panels, but unfortunately, chances are that they will not make it on the final product.
The problem is not necessarily due to low yield (which still is a problem, at least until Apple's Arizon plant will be fully operational), but mainly because fitting a sapphire screen on the next iPhone would make its price skyrocket.Fortunately though, the same sources also say that Apple will manage to fit sapphire screens on the rumored iWatch. The smartwatch is said to feature a 2-inch panel, and evidently, the production costs would be much lower.
I'll get into the price debate in a bit, but I want to paint a picture of the competitive landscape Apple is currently in within the smartphone market. The IDC released their final tally of 2013 smartphone sales worldwide on Jan. 27, right after Apple closed the books on their December 2013 ending quarter. Smartphone sales worldwide grew from 725m in 2012 to 1,004m in 2013 representing a year-over-year increase of 38.4%. In Q4 2013, Apple set a quarterly record for iPhone sales with 51m units sold. Things must be going well for Apple, right? Well, the truthful answer is yes and no.
In 2013 smartphone unit sales grew 38.4% YOY vs. 2012. Apple sales grew only 12.9% (25.5% lower growth than the industry trend). If you want to use the excuse that Apple has a bigger base and that growing the percentage is more difficult, I might buy that. So I dug into unit sales increase YOY from 2012 to 2013 by manufacturer. Out of the top five smartphone manufacturers, all of them beat Apple in terms of unit growth and percentage growth in 2013 compared to 2012. LG even exceeded Apple's sales growth, and I only thought they made TVs, washers and dryers. Needless to say, based on this information Apple needs to change things up on its upcoming iPhone 6, because almost everyone is exceeding the industry growth rate besides Apple. The two charts below were pulled from the IDC.
The unit growth story was not a good one for Apple in 2013. However, if you look at the gross profit generated from mobile phone sales, Apple eats the biggest piece of the pie, in excess of 50% of the overall gross profits. AppleInsider provided a terrific breakdown of the mobile market profit shares. In Q3 2013, Apple captured a 56% share of total profits, Samsung 53% and all other manufacturers had a collective loss of 9%. What is even more interesting is that Apple's margin in 2013 was hovering around 34%, while Samsung was only around 20%. Even though Samsung sold double the number of iPhones in 2013 (314m to 153m), Apple still earned the largest share of industry profits. The chart below was pulled from AppleInsider.
So let's get back to the potential for skyrocketing iPhone 6 prices that will occur because of the addition of sapphire displays. I've taken Apple's 2013 unit volume sales, along with gross margin, to calculate a gross profit for iPhone sales. Next to the 2013 actual sales, I modeled Apple's financial numbers if they actually grew at the industry growth rate of 38.4% vs. 12.9% in 2013 (see the chart I created below). Next to each industry growth rate, I have added three sapphire price increase models ranging from $10 to $30 extra per screen. As you can see from the details below, even with sapphire screens potentially adding $30 to the cost of the iPhone, Apple still would have generated $1.7B of additional gross profits had they met the industry growth rate in 2013.
In my previous article, I defined how Apple's sapphire supplier GT Advanced (GTAT) has reduced the cost of sapphire displays to $3-$5 per screen. The exact cost of the sapphire displays is only known by GT, but needless to say, the cost will be no where near $30 extra per screen. Even if it was $30 extra, the additional cost can be easily absorbed through higher iPhone sales. I am not assuming sapphire alone will drive Apple's annual sales growth up to the industry average, but I believe sapphire will allow Apple to add some very "cool stuff" under a nearly indestructible sapphire cover screen.
If Apple can leverage sapphire displays through their creative marketing and innovative technology to just meet the industry smartphone growth rate, the added cost for sapphire screens will more than pay for themselves, while shareholders cheer everywhere.
Disclosure: I am long GTAT. I have no plans to initiate a new position or sell an existing position within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

Seriously My Mess - 17. MonoMature
Sam sustained five metres above her body watched Minx comfort Jack no words needed.
Concern in her very touch she was not giving but releasing energy from him.
Everything was in monochrome, making the town look quite bizarre.
The Ministry Building chilled having the same washed out look, yet colour swirled about it like droplets of blood in water.
Her body shivered she lost buoyancy and started falling fast she habitually held her breathe and the foetal position.
Falling into the ground only her simple thought 'What? Yeah right!' stopped her from sinking deeper.
She felt warmth run to her as she was half in half out she welcomed it it was Jack.
Pulling herself into her form found her mourning the loss of freedom cringing at the sensory experience.
Readjusting to the physical wasn't easy Jack's warmth kept reaching for her searching.
Tentatively she brushed his essence she felt him relax and she did to.
"What happened?" Jack concerned held her closely gently Minx still touching him keeping him safe from her.
"I'm not sure I made you sick then Minx held me away 'til you were okay" she squirmed a little to fit her skin "are you okay Jack?"

You might assume that because the Wii U is now on the market, Nintendo is ready to sever all ties with its six year-old Wii system. After all, when you've shifted almost 100 million units worldwide, it must be difficult to find anyone in the developed world who hasn't got one by now.
However, Nintendo is no stranger to making odd commercial decisions (remember the ill-fated Virtual Boy?) and has delivered a stunning curve ball in the form of the Wii Mini. Announced in the wake of the Wii U's North American launch, it's a pared-down version of the insanely popular waggle-based console which features a revised case design, a top-loading disc drive and reduced functionality. It's also exclusive to Canada, but there's a chance that it could reach other regions in 2013.
Although its moniker may suggest a significant reduction in size, the Wii Mini isn't actually that much smaller than its predecessor. It's certainly lighter - it weighs about half what the original Wii did - but if you were hoping for some drastic shrinkage in terms of footprint, you're going to be disappointed. In fact, because the Wii Mini utilises a cost-cutting top-loading disc drive, it feels like it takes up more room than the original system because you can't stack anything on top of it or slide it into narrow gaps underneath your television. The drive has a pop-up lid which means you need quite a bit of clearance to operate it.
Compared to the glossy original, the Wii Mini looks like a child's plaything - something that is almost certainly intentional on Nintendo's part. The Wii Mini's casing has a matt texture to it and the two-tone black and red styling is sure to appeal to youngsters. To round off the look, the console is bundled with a gorgeous red Wii Remote , complete with matching silicone jacket, and a red Nunchuk attachment.
On the side of the Wii Mini casing you'll find the sync button (for pairing the console with Wii Remote controllers) and a small panel secured by a single screw - these contains a user-serviceable battery which helps the system retain save data.
Around the back there's the usual array of ports, including power, AV, sensor bar and a single USB socket. You'll also notice the outlet for the console's cooling fan, which generates around the same amount of noise as the one on the first system did. Taken as a whole, the Wii Mini certainly can't be described as ugly, but it arguably lacks the understated sophistication of the Wii's original iteration.
It's not just the outward appearance of the Wii that has been altered here - in terms of pure functionality, the Wii Mini is aptly named. It lacks any kind of online connectivity whatsoever - there's no Wi-Fi and no Ethernet port to link to your router. The aforementioned USB connection might suggest expandability, but don't get any bright ideas about hooking up a USB Ethernet adapter - it doesn't work. Browsing the settings menu reveals that the option for configuring your online access is entirely absent, which essentially means this console isn't going anywhere near the web.
This of course makes online multiplayer on titles like Mario Kart Wii impossible, but it has wider ramifications too. No internet in the Wii Mini means no access to Nintendo's online store, which offers hundreds of downloadable "WiiWare" games (like World of Goo and La-Mulana) and retro "Virtual Console" classics, covering titles from the days of the SNES, NES, Mega Drive and much, much more.
It also means you can't download apps for services such as BBC iPlayer and YouTube, and - possibly most serious of all - it prevents patches from being applied to existing software. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword shipped in 2011 with a game-breaking bug that was eventually remedied by a downloadable update - but there's no way of applying fixes such as this with the Wii Mini.

This thing does not need to exist. Period.
i had one of these delivered to me from isme.com and i am sending it straight back is ugly cheap plastic is like the kinex box i used to keep all my kinex in when i was a child poor quality why bring it into the gaming market i dont think many people will buy these and if they do i think they will not be happy with their poor made wii that is no difference in size to the original wii basically
Nintendo has became a joke. Like no one takes Nintendo seriously....at least Sega makes great games.
worth 1 star, original wii alot cheaper and better
I work at the real Canadian superstore and we have had these things on special for 90$ for a while now (That's 10$ off it's price) and still no one buys it.
I think what Nintendo was trying to do is get rid of all of it's old hardware in a kiddie-themed console or as a welfare console (For less fortunate kids) But like the article said, Normal Wiis are sold for about 50-60$ at your local pawn shop or they can go for even cheaper at the local Thrift store - I bought a fully functional Wii console to give to my sister for 60$ at value village because I was taking the Wii we got in Christmas 2009 for my move, Reason being that I had done a lot of money's worth of virtual console downloads and such.
Next year i'll probably pick up a Wii u and download Earthbound on VC. I've been dying to legally download that title forever now.
I can buy a pre-owned Wii for £40 from GAME, or this pile of jank with some bad games bundled for £100. Tough decision...

Djokovic beats Fabio Fognini in 2nd round at Indian Wells
Novak Djokovic extended his winning streak to 19 matches with a 6-0, 5-7, 6-2 victory over Fabio Fognini in the second round of the BNP Paribas Open.
Indian Wells: Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic and third seed Andy Murray both had to work much harder than expected to book their places in the third round of the BNP Paribas Open on Sunday.
Top seed Djokovic lost his bearings in the second set before beating Italy's Fabio Fognini 6-0 5-7 6-2 while Murray had to dig himself out of an early hole on the way to a 5-7 6-2 6-2 win against Russian Evgeny Donskoy. "It was definitely a difficult challenge today," Serbian Djokovic said courtside after breaking the feisty Fognini in the fourth and eighth games of the third set to claim victory.
"Fabio played very well towards the end of the second set but it was all my fault," said the world number one, who squandered one match point in the 10th game of that set before being broken in the 11th when he netted a forehand. "I had a very bad game at 4-2, made a couple of unforced errors, got him back in the match. Next thing you know we're one set all and a couple of tight games. I'm just happy to get through."
Djokovic, who had stormed through the opening set in just 19 minutes, wrapped up his fourth win in four matches against Fognini when the 36th-ranked Italian netted a backhand. The Serb, a perfect 14-0 this year after winning the Australian Open in January and the Dubai Championships last week, will next meet Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov, a 6-4 6-4 winner against Australia's Matthew Ebden.
"My confidence level is high obviously because of the run I had this year," Djokovic said. "Game-wise, everything works. I feel good about myself." U.S. Open champion Murray, showing signs of rust in his first tournament on the ATP circuit for six weeks, lost a wildly fluctuating opening set, where he trailed 1-5 at one point, before seizing control of the match.

Hasbro 2Q Profit Falls 8.2 Percent
NewsRadio 920 WHJJ and the Associated Press
PAWTUCKET, R.I. (AP) — Hasbro Inc. (HAS) on Monday reported profit that decreased by 8.2 percent in its second quarter, and missed analysts' expectations.
The Pawtucket, Rhode Island-based company said net income decreased to $33.5 million, or 26 cents per share, from $36.5 million, or 28 cents per share, in the same quarter a year ago.
Earnings, adjusted for pre-tax expenses, were 36 cents per share. The average estimate of analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research was for earnings of 37 cents per share.
The company said revenue rose 8.2 percent to $829.3 million from $766.3 million in the same quarter a year earlier, and missed Wall Street forecasts. Analysts expected $842.8 million, according to Zacks.
Hasbro shares have declined $1.80, or 3.3 percent, to $53.21 since the beginning of the year, while the Standard & Poor's 500 index has climbed 7 percent. However, the stock has climbed $7.83, or 17 percent, in the last 12 months.

Out of Sync
... there, I'd be having so much fun. I guess we're coming to the end of that stage of Australia, we've reached the point where we have to be a lot more careful about our expenditures. So, today (yesterday) for example, enjoyment comes in the form of watching more movies. I sort of glanced over a few jobs for Thailand but to be honest, until we get there it is almost pointless. We'll need our transcripts ...
The Natural Bridge
... we saw the natural bridge. This stone structure is a cave, part of whose ceiling has been worn away by erosive water, leaving a vast arch between the sides of the gully. Water rushes into the cave, which provides a home to large colonies of glow worms and bats, before feeding into the river and continuing on its journey. We could see a few of the bats flitting between anchor rocks in the cave's ...
Slumming it on Marine Parade
We have been at Nobby Beach for almost two weeks. Our friends from Brisbane have a holiday unit here right on the beach and very generously offered us the use of it. Our stay began with a great night entertaining friends from Canberra & Coolangatta. Quite a bit of beer/wine was also consumed so our friends had a sleepover and we walked along the beachfront for 5 mins to have breakfast ...
The Australian Jungle and Surf
... of local surfers that hit the waves for some
good rides. The beach was absolutely
stunning and had some beautiful rocks where the waves crashed into but it was
saltier than any of the other beaches I have been to yet. It was awesome to see how surf competitions
were set up with all the booths and activities going on around it. I got extremely sunburnt unfortunately as
well. The ozone layer here is
Back to Broadbeach
... We then continued the relaxation by spending some time in the meritons hot tub and sauna. Lovely jubbly! Feeling much better this evening, we decided we could try our first proper meal in a few days and Scott had been eyeing up a nice Mexican so he popped out to get an obscene amount of food and we settled down to a nice movie while munching away! No photos today, thank ...

The latest, and last, of the Floyd's exhaustive reissue packages includes, alongside the remastered album and two live CDs from 1980-81, two "Works in Progress" discs charting the project's development virtually from the first twinkling in Roger Waters' eye.
These are arranged as a series of programmes, the first compiling excerpts from demos, no more than a few seconds apiece, thus telescoping the double album into around 13 minutes. But the same terrain is gone over in gradually greater detail in five more sequences of band demos from successive stages of its development.
The impression is of someone picking obsessively at an emotional scab, which is effectively what The Wall is all about. But though apt, it adds little by way of illumination.

Poolside Bet
"Hey Ino! I bet I could get Sasuke Uchiha's attention!"
"No way!, Sakura!"
"Then, let's make it a bet."
"Who can get his attentions first, DUH! Think, Ino-piggy!"
"Winner gets to 'keep' him."
"Loser has to tell Lee that his Speedo looks good."
"Ugh! Purely evil, Sakura! But, I'm in Forehead-girl."
And that's how this thing started. Tenten and Hinata were the judges, the spectators were the people of the pool, most not knowing their roles. Tenten is on Ino's team, and Hinata is on Sakura's.
The bet is "who can get Sasuke Uchiha's attention first?!" Winner gets to keep him, loser has to tell Rock Lee that his Speedo looks good…
But the challenge is that, not only is Sasuke dubbed the "hottest" and most "popular guy at school," he is also an ICE CUBE! He is hard to crack, usually cold, and has absolutely no response. And, he is also the lifeguard at the pool, along with his uncle, Kakashi Hatake, but he's usually reading. Or checking out the pool girls, whatever, maybe both.
Tenten patted Ino's back and smiled, "Go get him, girl! You can totally kick Sakura's ass! And get the hunk!" Ino fixed her purple frilly bikini. Tenten was in a basic yellow and black one piece.
Hinata, wearing a dark blue one piece with white shorts, tightened Sakura's white bikini tight and matted down her hair, "Yo-you can win. I th-think he already likes you any-anyway." Sakura smiled, "Piece of cake!" She pumped her fist in the air.
Ino and Sakura walked over to the lifeguard stand. Sakura pushed Ino in front of her and whispered, "You first!"
She stumbled, and shot the pink haired girl a killer glare. But Ino nodded anyway.
She was gonna go with the sexy approach, She threw her keys in front of the lifeguard stand. She walked over sexily and bent down to pick it up. She did it slowly to emphasize her movements and seductively breathed, "Hey."
A boy, Shikamaru, who was walking past the stand, holding hands with his girlfriend, Temari, jaw dropped. His girlfriend fumed and screamed, "BITCH!"
Ino straightened up immediately and went in PMS mode. She ran up to that girl and started yelling out profanities. "YOU'RE THE BITCH! BITCH!"
Tenten and Hinata sighed, sweat dropping, and looked to Sasuke. He seemed expressionless, sitting up in the life guard stand, coolly sitting in his red shorts and reflective sunglasses.
No expression, so Ino gets no points! Hinata looked to Sakura.
She stepped forward. Sakura sighed and inhales deeply, "My turn."
She decided upon the cute approach. She walked by, beach ball in hand and cutely asked, "Hey, Sasuke-kun, do you wanna play a game with me?" She smiled and waited for him to respond.
He did nothing. A vein popped out of her head, but Hinata pulled her back and whispered, "Ino didn't get him yet either."
Round one! Zero to Zero!
Ino walked back, face red from anger. Tenten sighed, "This is gonna be harder than I thought. Ino let's do this…" Tenten began to whisper in her ear and she nodded.
Hinata turned to Sakura and said, "What're you gonna do next?" Sakura shrugged. Hinata sighed, "I've got nothing."
Naruto walking by the huddling girls and whistled. He raised his eyebrows up and down. Sakura rolled her eyes and muttered, "Boys."
Hinata flushed and Sakura pulled him towards them, "We'll ask him."
Naruto raised a brow when he saw Hinata and Sakura, "What's up pretty ladies?" He clicked his tongue.
Hinata's red face turned redder. Sakura punched his head, "Shut up, dumb ass, I need your help!"
He squatted and held his head, "OW! OW! OW! What do you need help with!" He opened one eye and looked up at them.
Sakura crossed her arms, "Ino and I are trying to see who can get Sasuke's attention first, and Hinata and I can't think of anything."
He scratched his head, "What's your question?" He looked genuinely lost.
Sakura resisted the urge to kick him and hotly said, "What turns him on, Naruto?" She began to tap her foot, becoming impatient.
Naruto fell down laughing, "AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAAH!" tears were forming in his eyes.
She kicked him.
Naruto rubbed his eyes and held his rib, "HAH! Actually… I don't really know what Sasuke likes. He probably likes freaky emo girls." He pointed at Sakura and pulled at her hair, "This could work."
Sakura swatted his hand away, "Freaky girls? Ugh, Sasuke is so weird."
Then from the corner of her eye she saw Ino walking towards the lifeguard stand. Her hair was down and was hanging so long it was down to her knees.
Sakura pouted.
Ino had a bit of hair in her lips and sexily said (again), "Hey, Sasuke…"
Neji, who all of a sudden appeared in front of her, snorted and said, "Be gone."
She stomped and started flailing her hands in the air, "DAMMIT MY SEXINESS DIDN'T WORK!"
She passed by Sakura and sighed, "This is gonna take a while."
Sakura hesitantly approached him thinking, I have to act freaky? What the hell? She walked past him.
She waved a hand and said, "Hey Sasuke. I gotta take my freaky self to do something freaky over there and be emo." She held a plastic knife to her wrist.
Sakura then stood there, waiting for a reaction.
Then she walked off. Two seconds later she walked back and explained, "I'm not doing anything perverted, if that's what you're thinking!"
She stomped back to Naruto, who was stifling a laugh, "How'd I do?"
Naruto turned around and laughed. His tan back was shaking.
Sakura pinched his arms, "Laugh any harder, and I will pants you."
Naruto held his breath and slowly he turned red. He looked from her hands to his pants and back. They shivered.
Sakura calmed down, "So any other ideas?"
Naruto nodded breaking a toothy grin, "Just a few."
Hinata and Tenten stood by each other, watching the girls, for two hours, just trying to get Sasuke's attention.
Tenten checked under her strap and asked, "Whoa, did I tan?!"
The other girl laughed lightly patting Tenten's back. She said, "Y-You know, there is a s-such thing a-as whitening soap?"
Tenten's eyes brightened, "Really?!"
Naruto walked up to them, raising a brow from over hearing their conversation, and asked, "Should we tell them that he's-?"
Tenten laughed, "No, it'll be funnier when they find out for themselves." She fixed her strap, noticing Naruto's lingering stare.
Hinata smiled, "Poor Ino-chan and Sakura-chan." She looked down, lightly rocking and forth.
Naruto saluted Sasuke, "Poor bastard for not realizing two super hot girls are trying to seduce him."
Sakura stomped after being 'rejected.' She stared up at him and started cursing him, "Damn you, Sasuke Uchiha. Damn you and you're freaking sunglasses, and your hot bod, and your freaking gravity defying hair, and your freaking hotness!" she stomped away to Ino, grumbling.
Both of them were exhausted. Ino and Sakura leaned on each other, both mentally fatigued.
Ino turned to her, "Sakura… this boy is hard to crack… Truce?" she held out a hand.
Sakura nodded taking her hand and shaking once, "Fine, truce…"
Ino stood up straight and said, "I guess that means that we both have to tell Lee he looks hot in that… ugh… Speedo!"
Sakura linked arms with her and smiled, "Let's do it."
They skipped to Lee and Ino went first. She fluttered her lashes and sexily breathed, "Hey Lee… you look pretty hot with that… Speedo."
Sakura added cutely, "Yeah! Lee-kun, your Speedo is so youthful!" They just walked away giggling.
Lee's eyes were sparkling and he turned to Neji and shouted, "NEJI! THEY SAID MY SPEEDO LOOKED GOOD!" he gave him a thumbs up, "Maybe you should wear a Speedo to become youthful with the girls, like Tenten-!"
Neji gave him a death glare and muttered, "Die."
Ino and Sakura skipped back to Tenten and Hinata. They began talking, with Naruto joining in.
Sakura began to look at the lifeguard stand. Ino caught her stare and sighed, "If you wanna try more, you can, we already said the things to Lee."
Sakura smiled, "Thanks."
She walked over to lifeguard stand skipping practically, "Oi! Sasuke!"
He didn't reply.
A vein popped out of her forehead, "You're really ticking me off!" She began to climb the ladder and sat on the arm of the seat.
She poked his cheek, "Oi! Listen to me!"
"Anyone home?
No response.
Sakura closed her eyes and inhaled deeply. "Last warning, boy, reply!"
He didn't even move. She breathed out and stabbed a finger at his chest, "I will punch you." Menacingly, she held up a fist.
When he didn't reply, she took of his sunglasses. His eyes were closed. Sakura almost fell off as she screamed, "YOU WERE SLEEPING?!"
Ino laughed and slapped her legs, "He was sleeping?! Haha! What a bastard! A brilliant, brilliant idiot!"
Naruto laughed, "Haha, that bastard is so dumb! He's so dead!"
Ino tilted her head and looked at Naruto, "Why?"
He snickered, "Now that Sakura knows, she'll get revenge." And he rubbed his cheek, "And damn, it will not be pretty."
Sakura glared, "Stupid boy…" she popped open a permanent marker and laughed maniacally, "Prepare to die!"
She flipped him over and wrote something on his back. Then she put him back, and sat in his lap.
She turned his face to the side and began to write… and talk at the same time.
She pressed into his cheek hard, "Sakura… was… here…" She smiled.
Then she patted his chest and wrote across it, "Sakura's… freaking… property." She smiled and closed the marker right in the center of his chest.
"Gosh, Sasuke, I've liked you ever since freaking fourth grade, and you didn't even notice me! Why are you sleeping anyway? You are such an unreliable, ignorant jerk!"
She was about to leave when a hand grabbed her wrist. Her thoughts all screamed SHIT!
Naruto laughed, "So she's liked him ever since way back when! That's so hilarious, considering he's been checking her out for that long too!"
Ino stared, "Are you kidding? He never showed it!" she smiled.
He scratched his head, "I guess they're just idiots at love."
Ino scoffed, "You too!" she hinted a stare at Hinata.
Sasuke smirked and pulled her back in his lap, "Ever since fourth grade?"
Sakura blushed violent red, "You heard?" her voice was higher than usual. Her eyebrows twitched madly.
He laughed and rested his arms on his shoulders, and pushing his forehead up against hers. His breath tickled his face, "Is it true?"
Her face was just completely a vibrant red and she looked away. "Hell no!" she looked down but turned back in his direction. "But… but, if it were true, what would you say?"
He rubbed noses with hers, forcing her stare up to his eyes. They smoldered dramatically. He whispered, "What would I say?" he looked thoughtful, "Maybe I would say that I've liked you for a while too."
Her breath caught on her throat.
Sasuke laughed heartily throwing his head back, wiping his eyes, "As if I'd say something so cheesy!"
Sakura sighed, looking torn. She patted his shoulder, "Well thanks for nothing, bastard." She began to climb down.
When she reached the cool, damp pool floor, she smiled, keeping his back to him, and her shoulders hunched.
She heard Sasuke jump from down the stand and walk to her. She didn't turn. He rested his arms on her shoulders and put his chin in her hair, "You know I was just joking."
Sakura fought the urge to laugh and said, "Well, I can't tell if your delivery is so emotionless."
She turned to him, holding his shoulders, and turning him to the pool. The others (Ino, Tenten, Hinata and Naruto) on the other side saw it and laughed.
Sasuke, completely unknowing to all this just said, "But the truth is, I love you, Sakura Haruno."
She smiled, clapping, "Wow, how'd you read your back?!"
Laughing, she pushed him into the pool, screaming, "Well truth is, I LOVE YOU TOO, Sasuke Uchiha!"
The startled Sasuke popped up, annoyed, and blushing. Sakura came over and crouched by the side.
Smiling, she held out a hand, "Truce, okay?"
He took her hand, and also took hold of her lips. Surprising her completely. She got lost in the kiss.
Sasuke pulled her into the cold pool and laughed,
"Sure, Truce."
Uh. Lol, I just found this, I wrote it up a loooooong time ago. And wow. I feel like the beginning was good, but spiraled into crap, but that's not really my decision right!? Review!

Three Daughters of Darkness
Witches! For Keira, Annabelle & Torey nothing is normal, they don't even know what normal is! These girls are the last remaining heirs of a long lost clan of powerful witches called Daughters of Darkness. Each girl has a rare power.
When four male members of another clan of witches' surface disaster hits when they discover one of the guys has turned rouge, the girls must test their strengths as powerful witches, & best friends to figure out which one of the guys is trying to steal
"Keira will you please hurry your ass up, we're going to be late!" Torey screamed from the outside of my door.
"I'm coming!" I yelled back. Finishing applying mascara on to my eyes lashes.
Of course, as always, I am last girl ready in the morning. I shoved my mascara back into the tube, and threw it on my bed before grabbing my purse and running full sprint out of my bedroom. Downstairs Annabelle was waiting for my at the door, my car keys in hand. Her hair as usual, totally straight and long to the middle of her back, with the nice creamy medium brown color. Dressed in the every-day Annabelle attire: a nice blouse, a pair of casual pants, and super cute pair of shoes.
"Wake up sooner." she smirked, closing the door behind me.
"Tomorrow I'll be up at 6:30!" I exclaimed jumping into my black Mazda 3.
"Mhm, and I'll be teacher of the year. We'll be by the shop later to visit." she said climbing into her purple Ford Focus. Yes purple!!
"Okay, tell Torey I am going to hide her cheerios if she screams at me while I'm doing my make up again."
Annabelle laughed. "I'll tell her." she started her engine and pulled out of the drive-way.
After a minute of making sure that my eyes were done evenly I started my engine and pulled out heading to work.
