Fired Up Over High Tech GadgetsBy
No, Wyle Laboratories isn't in the battered health-care business. The company is a major distributor of high-tech electronic products, mainly computer systems and semiconductors. "With the demand for computers and semiconductors now strongly on the rise, Wyle's sales and profits will strike the big numbers over the next two years," says Boston money manager Scott Black.
Although the company willingly sacrificed profits for increased market share by pursuing a big expansion program, some analysts have started to raise their earnings estimates for the next two years. Wyle is the biggest distributor of Intel's microprocessors and products of such high-tech manufacturers as Motorola and Texas Instruments. The company has opened 10 distribution facilities in the Midwestern and Eastern parts of the country to complement its Western base.
Black says not many investors recognize the potential of Wyle's expansion program. Many have dumped their shares. But some who have held on are Fidelity Magellan, Invesco Funds Group, and Delphi Management, of which Black is president. He sees the stock hitting 30 in two years.
Value Line analyst Glenn Johnson, who earlier had expected Wyle to post lower earnings for the year ending Jan. 1, 1994, recently pushed up his projection. He now thinks the company will earn $1.10 in fiscal 1994 and $1.70 in 1996, vs. fiscal 1993's $1.45.

Two small thing going on with my car that have been really annoying. its a 03WRX with 72k miles, and no mods
When car is stopped or moving slowly in a parking lot and turning the steering wheel there is kind of a light knocking sound coming from the steering wheel.
And the vibration first happened at about 40mph+ in the steering wheel and the seats, but got the tires balanced, and that fixed the vibration in the steering wheel. But now at 70mph+ i feel vibrations coming from the seats and floor.

He was a swashbuckling buccaneer who was the first person to circumnavigate the globe three times during his life as a pirate. He landed on Australia nearly 100 years before it was "discovered" by Captain James Cook and was the first Englishman to describe avocados, bananas, cashew nuts and chopsticks – among many other exotic sightings.
Click HERE to view 'Captain Dampier's extracts: The voyages of discovery' graphic
Although William Dampier, born in 1651, turned out to be a pretty hopeless pirate he was a brilliant observer and natural historian, and his exploits as an amateur scientist have led some to draw parallels with the fictional pirate captain in the latest film by Aardman Animations, of Wallace and Gromit fame.
Aardman's The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists, which opened at cinemas this week, tells the story of a blundering pirate who accidentally kidnaps Charles Darwin. Darwin, meanwhile, recognises that the captain's "parrot" is in fact an extinct dodo and persuades him to come to the "Scientist of the Year" competition at the Royal Society in London.
The film's makers came closer than they might have realised to describing a true story. It turns out that there was indeed a pirate scientist, and although he lived nearly 200 years before Darwin he nevertheless had a strong connection with the man whose name in inextricably linked with the theory of evolution.
Darwin's own voyages in the 1830s closely followed those of Dampier at the end of the 17th century. They both travelled to South America, rounded Cape Horn and visited the Galapagos islands before going on to Australia.
Perhaps the strongest parallel between film and real life stems from Dampier's informal connections with distinguished fellows of the Royal Society, such as the diarist Samuel Pepys and the botanist Hans Sloane, who marvelled at his detailed descriptions of far-off places.
Keith Moore, the head librarian at the Royal Society, said: "We know that Darwin had access to Dampier's book. We know that Dampier visited the Galapagos islands, and described them in just the same way as Darwin, and it's the same voyage around the world."
Dampier became a meticulous note taker, describing for instance how to make the avocado more palatable by adding sugar and lime juice – probably the first recipe in English for sweet guacamole.
In addition to describing the mango and the Chinese habit of drinking dishes of tea, Dampier wrote about the giant tortoise or "land turtle" of the Galapagos, saying there were enough on the islands to feed up to 600 men for several months.
Despite many raids on Spanish galleons aboard privateer vessels, Dampier did not seem to have had much success as a pirate, dying in penury in London in 1715 with debts of £677.

Intraday Shortage penalty
Dear friends,
I had done short sell of 1000 shares of Essar oil with margin on 29th/nov/2007 and could not square off at the end of the day
is that i have to pay any penalty to broker i.e India infoline.
Please help me as to whether I have been cheated by the broker.
Re: Intraday Shortage penalty
Normally Day Trade Positions are squared up on the same Day. If Open Short Position is carried, You have oppurtunity to buy it up the next day to square. ( i.e., 30/11/207). Buying Price will determine your Profit/Loss . No Penalties. If you don't square it up on 30th, It will go to Auction on 3rd and then Auction Price will determine the Profit/Loss.
Re: Intraday Shortage penalty
hai thanks for the reply..but this broke..ie indiainoline is saying that i will be charged 20% of total amout i.e 40 k for 2 lakhs + profit/loss of next day ...as i have done it with margin trading..
is it so with indiainfoline..?
Re: Intraday Shortage penalty
In the First Place, you should be allowed to buy on 3rd to square up.
If you don't square on 3rd for whatever reason, then it will go to Auction on 5th.
It will be bought in Auction Market at the prevailing Price. If Essaroil is not available in Auction Market ( which is highly unlikely ), then it will go to Settlement.
In settlement, you are likely to be levied a penalty of 10 or 20 % ( not sure ) on the Last Transacted Price.
I do belive that it will not go that level.
Hope you will find this info, useful.
Cheers & Good Luck
Re: Intraday Shortage penalty
Dear friends,
I had done short sell of 1000 shares of Some SCRIP with margin on friday and could not square off at the end of the day since the share reached its upper limit and trading was suspended for the day.I have been told by my broker that these shares will now be auctioned by Exchange and profit/loss shall be determined on the day of auction which i have been told is on the 5th day from the day of short selling of shares.
These shares should have been automatically squared of by the broker.but now i have to pay a price if the share prices go up during the next 5 days.
Since Mr PAKatil replied earlier in this post that buying can be done next day and shares go to auction only the 3rd day.but my broker is advicing me other wise. Please advice if i can buy the shares on monday and if there is any SEBI article or circular indicating the same then i can pursue this with my broker.
Please advice........
Re: Intraday Shortage penalty
Brokers do not allow sqr up of intraday position in cash market on the next day. If you have not sqrd off the same day then it will for sure go for auction only.
Regarding 20% or 10% markup depends on the brokers. There are certain brokers where they pass on the profit / loss of auction to the client directly without any marking up. In this case if the auction price is lower than the selling price by the client then the client is the beneficiary. There are certain brokers where they mark up 10% or 20% inspite of the auction price. There is no clarity in this matter with most of the brokers. It is as the broker says. But if the stock is continuously on the upside circuit till auction day then there are chances that auction loss could be huge. Basically auction price is different from market price. Only brokers would be able to tell the auction price.
Re: Intraday Shortage penalty
i had done a short sell of yes bank 251 and my broker is kotak securities they are saying i have to pay almost 300 per share.which is 20% higher if market open on Monday with same price.do i have to pay 20% higher amount please tell me i am knew in market.
Re: Intraday Shortage penalty
I have ICICI a/c. In the short selling segment, they have mentioned clearly that they will try to square off the position by the end of the day. If for some reason, they are not able to do it the price will be Previous day's closing price + 20% mark up the next day.
Re: Intraday Shortage penalty
how can i sell in the auctions market
Re: Intraday Shortage penalty
Sir,I ama trader at india infoline .com.On 21-2-2012ishorted20 piramal health shares and failed to square.Is there any penalty if I buy on 22-2.

Joseph Schwantner's Chasing Light...
Pulitzer laureate Joseph Schwantner sits in the 20th-century somewhere at the crossroads of Debussy and Steve Reich, dipping his brush equally in lush orchestral colors and non-Western forms of percussion to create eclectic soundscapes, a sample of which can be heard on his latest CD for Naxos.
The New York Philharmonic's principal percussionist Christopher Lamb takes the reigns, opening the disc with Schwantner's oft-played Percussion Concerto, written for the Phil on its 150th anniversary. Hypnotic though it may be (especially in the kaleidoscopic and kinetic first movement with a focus on the marimba), this three-movement concerto never drops its energy, and Lamb virtuosically juggles the multifaceted percussion section and distinct tones from the buoyant first movement to the elegiac and cathedral-like second and a restrained yet vigorous—and improvisatory—third.
Under the baton of Giancarlo Guerrero, the Nashville Symphony offers up two other Schwantner works, including the world premiere recording of a lush tone-poem, Morning's Embrace and the ambitious and spirited Chasing Light…, a work written around a poem (also penned by Schwantner). Inspired by a misty New England morning and full of sonic fireworks, Chasing Light… was part of Ford's Made in America Project and was subsequently performed over three years by orchestras representing all 50 states in the union. All told, you'd be hard-pressed to find a more perfect work to celebrate Independence Day this year.

Can there really be anything more magical than this? An arc of huge Moreton Bay fig trees spreading across a flat, grassy park at the edge of a botanic garden. A full moon high in the sky. A night, approaching 12, when the late-summer air is still dry and balmy, with just a hint of a breeze. A small, friendly crowd, drunk on exotic music. And a stage where a huge man, surrounded by supporting musicians, is singing an ancient piece of qawwali (Sufi devotional music) which goes on for 20, 30, 40 minutes.
This was the first performance of the late, great qawwali singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan on the Friday night of the first Womadelaide Festival in 1993. It was a defining moment which, for those who were there, has been the benchmark by which all other Womadelaides have been measured. Amazingly, each subsequent celebration has, at some point, reached those first, dizzying heights.
The simple truth about Womadelaide is that, after 10 years, it is clearly the best music festival in Australia. The reason for its success is a sublime, accidental confluence of forces.
WOMAD, short for World of Music, Arts and Dance, was founded in the UK in 1982 under the enthusiastic leadership of rock singer Peter Gabriel. It was more than just a festival. A record label, Realworld, was launched and a commitment established to music beyond Western pop and rock - predominantly folk music from the Third World enriched by First World production technology and, occasionally, inspired musical hybrids.
A decade later, after festivals in Scandinavia, Britain, Germany, Spain, Italy, Canada and Japan, the WOMAD concept arrived in Australia. Initially an adjunct to the Adelaide Arts Festival, it was bankrolled by the South Australian government. This meant that important Third World musicians - which included performers like Senegal's Youssou N'Dour and Mali's Salif Keita - could be enjoyed by local audiences.
It quickly became a regular event and never disappointed. Such was the quality of the musicians that world music fans began travelling to Adelaide from across Australia and New Zealand.
This year marks Womadelaide's 10th anniversary and the bill - from March 7 to 9 - offers an excess of tantalising live performances.
In the event's early years, there was a belief that world music could not be digested by wide audiences unless presented as a musical sugar-coated pill. It was thought that N'Dour and Khan would attract crowds only if the line-up also featured, say, Crowded House.
That orthodoxy has been abandoned. This year, eclecticism - with no concessions to pop audiences - seems to be the theme. A staggering 350 performers from 31 countries will appear, and to argue that there are definable major drawcards among them is to misunderstand that this is a celebration of the universality of music, not an awards ceremony.
For instance, those wanting to experience the best of Aboriginal culture have, at one end, the traditional Anangu Pitjantjatjara women and, at the other, Kerrianne Cox's country-blues mix and the Bloody Marys, who include Lou Bennett and Amy Saunders from Tiddas.
Anyone interested in syntheses of techno and world music will be eager to see the Rizwan-Muazzam Qawwali group enriched by the pulsating presence of the Temple of Sound techno duo. And South American and Caribbean styles are fused in the music of Colombian singer Toto La Momposina.
African-music lovers will, as always, be well catered for. One of the highlights will be Cheikh Lo, who mixes reggae and funk with traditional music from his native Senegal. Also look out for West African percussion outfit Badenya les Freres Coulibaly and Papa Kwasi & The Iriehights, a reggae group fronted by a one-time drummer for the king of Ghana.
Mainstream modern folk is represented by Cara Dillon, the current darling of Irish folk, Ireland's Andy White, Greece's Apodimi Compania, the Scottish group Shooglenifty and local folk-rockers the Waifs.
Beyond the sounds are dance troupes, workshops, storytellers, lots of activities for children and, as always, an amazing array of food stalls.
The music is great. But it is the ambience, the sense of passion, joy and human harmony which makes Womadelaide so special.

Innovation plus scale-up needed to tackle the complexities and cost of 450mm
Innovation plus scale-up needed to tackle the complexities and cost of 450mm
by Debra Vogler, Instant Insight Inc.
Suppliers were asked to share their thoughts about tackling the challenges, as well as taking advantage of the opportunities, as they forge ahead with the 450mm transition.
It's fair to say that the 450mm transition is one of the most expensive and complicated endeavors the industry has had to navigate; some might even say it's the most complicated undertaking. Though estimates of the total cost have been all over the map, Applied Materials has been using $15-20Bn as the estimate for the industry as a whole. "What we're also trying to do is ensure that this estimate is wrong and way too high!" said Kirk Hasserjian, corporate VP, Strategic Programs at Applied. "To do that, we'll need a lot of collaboration and coordination with our customers [that are going to 450]."
It's clear that the way the transition is implemented will have an affect on how its cost will impact the supplier community in terms of ROI. Hasserjian maintains that a synchronized transition is key. "You can't really coordinate the [technology] nodes, but if you could get a group of companies to transition to 450mm at about the same time, it would be helpful," he said. For example, if three or four companies built 450mm fabs all within about a year or year-and-a-half of each other, that would provide volume orders for equipment suppliers (See Chart: Synchronized Transition). That volume, in turn, will help enable a reasonable ROI so that R&D expenses - especially those to be incurred over the next six years - can be recouped. A piecemeal transition will result in poor ROI for the equipment suppliers. "In the end, what we're trying to do is make sure we have a sustainable, vibrant semiconductor industry," said Hasserjian
It will take more than money to make the 450mm transition happen, however. Hasserjian breaks the effort up into two major areas. The first is meeting the technology nodes during the transition, which will require innovation in the hardware design, process characteristics, and the materials that are used. This is one consideration that should give the industry pause concerning the level of effort equipment suppliers will need to put forth. Hasserjian pointed out that the industry doesn't yet understand the requirements that will be needed to get to 10nm and below on a 300mm wafer, let alone on a 450mm wafer. "The uniformity of the thin film layers, the uniformity of dimensions that we are producing, the electrical characteristics across an entire wafer - these will be done at very advanced technology nodes (10nm and below)," noted Hasserjian. "And today, we're just tackling 20nm technology in manufacturing and working on R&D for 14nm."
Mark Fissel, VP 450mm Program, at Lam Research Corporation, reiterated concerns about the risks that come with not knowing the technical requirements for sub-10nm processing. "We'll have to address 300mm and 450mm development at the same time, so we will have dual R&D requirements," said Fissel. The parallel efforts mean having two sets of teams working on the two wafer sizes - a huge cost factor. Additionally, Fissel, noted that the parallel efforts will have to go on for a much longer time to bridge the gap between the two wafer sizes. The lack of 450mm wafers, as well as their cost, only add to the risk burden. Still, he acknowledges that this time, the industry is approaching the transition in a more rational way. "There is more collaboration trying to agree on a timeline," he said. "And standards have come out in a much more rational time frame."
Regarding tool costs, Hasserjian said that the second major area to address is the innovation required to enable tools to handle the larger wafers without the tool costs going over 2X the cost of 300mm tools. "If we just scale up, the probability of the tool cost being so high that it just doesn't make economic sense to go to 450, I think, is very real," said Hasserjian. "So you need innovation along with the scale up."
As a way to ease the transition to 450mm, TEL has offered the industry use of its open Common Platform. "The hope is that the availability of a common platform will encourage innovative solutions from creative folks in the industry," noted Akihisa Sekiguchi, VP & GM, Corporate Marketing at TEL. While there is no news about whether or not any suppliers have taken TEL up on the offer, Sekiguchi said that the company has had opportunities to discuss the concept with other tool suppliers.
TEL intends to unify its platforms at 450mm on the Common Platform, providing easy process module integration for future extendibility. The company has set itself a target to be able to complete integration on the platform in one month, which would require a "clear articulation of interfacing details including hardware, software, and utilities," explained Sekiguchi. "It would not be an easy task, but we have years of experience integrating multiple chamber types to our platforms." He also said that the company's development roadmap for the platform is consistent with end users' HVM timing.
TEL's commitment to standardization is further evidenced by its efforts at reducing tool and chamber installation costs by 50%, as well as reducing tool installation and upgrade times by 25-30%. "The general concept is that the physical layout of the utilities, e.g., where and how the gas lines, power lines, and other utilities interface with the tool, should be standardized," noted Sekiguchi. "Imagine us having different power sockets for all our household appliances and/or plumbing - the cost would be prohibitive."
Leveraging pre-competitive efforts; addressing facilities specs
Besides the many opportunities for innovation along with standardization, suppliers are recognizing ways to leverage pre-competitive efforts. For example, Hasserjian observed that there is much that can be done in areas that do not have unique IP in OEM equipment. "We all use gas sticks, valves, power supplies, and pumping systems," he said. "There are many different components for which we could have much better standardization when going to 450 and we could have better collaboration on R&D to develop these sub-components that are wafer-size dependent."
Adding to the list of noncompetitive components/subsystems that would most likely benefit from commonality - and reduce tool costs - among the equipment suppliers, Fissel includes examples such as gas box and liquid delivery system components, mechanical pumps, heat exchangers, and standard facilities interfaces. Service commonalities will also be useful to address given the fact that 450mm tool sets will be much larger than those for 300mm. Fissel also observed that common methods of getting components from their shipping crates to the systems will be needed. The real challenge in pursuing all of these efforts will be accomplishing them within the timeframe needed to support the fabs' requirements. With the earliest IC manufacturers expecting 450mm pilot lines to come up in 2016, followed by volume manufacturing lines in 2018, Fissel says there needs to be movement on the issue of component commonality fairly soon.
Addressing the inefficiencies associated with facilities specifications poses still another opportunity for suppliers (both equipment and facilities suppliers) to ensure that the economics of going to 450mm are not compromised. The chart below (Utility Consumption Drives Investment) illustrates how utility consumption drives investment. According to Allen Ware, VP, Program Executive for 450mm, at M+W Group, a 10% increase of equipment power consumption relates to an overall increase of ~2% for base build capex.
Ware further explained that when equipment suppliers draw up their specifications on utilities (electrical, ultra-pure water, gas volume, exhaust, etc.), they build in worst-case values. But then so do the fab owners when all the inputs from all the tool suppliers are analyzed. And then the facilities suppliers build in their own buffer. "So when you start looking at the total impact of taking the worst case along with everybody who touches it, you end up with a facility that costs tens of millions, if not a hundred million more dollars than it needs to be - especially given the size of a 450mm fab," said Ware. "If we could place instruments on tools in pilot lines and measure such things as idle time, peaks, etc., and come up with a data-driven utility matrix, we could build a more efficient factory." And though this scenario has not yet occurred even on 300mm fabs, Ware is hopeful that 450mm will be different.
A new facet to the 450 transition is that, unlike previous wafer transitions, facilities developers will now have an opportunity to directly interface with equipment suppliers rather than wonder what attributes tools being delivered to a fab will have when they arrive. "During the 300mm wafer transition, suppliers had to customize products for 15+ unique semiconductor manufacturing companies," said Ware. "Customization not only drives up fabrication cost and lead time, but also results in multiple variation of spare parts with longer lead time and cost."
With respect to the difficulty of estimating the costs associated with going to 450mm, Ware noted that, "300mm fab sizes are all over the board, so there's no direct correlation for transition to 450mm" explained Ware. "And we have to keep in mind that most 300mm fabs will be retrofitted for 450mm."

The Conservatives accused ministers of channelling millions of pounds into the regeneration of east London, while neglecting the key pledge made in Singapore when London was awarded the games, of enabling and inspiring young people through sport. They said restrictions on lottery funding make it virtually impossible for community clubs to apply for grants to improve facilities.
Hugh Robertson, shadow minister for sport, said: "Community or mass participation sport in this country is in a mess. The government has slashed the amount taken from the National Lottery from 25% in 1997 to 16% now. In 1998-99, £397.4m went directly into sport from the lottery, but last year that fell to £264m." The Department for Culture, Media and Sport hit back, insisting that more than £3bn had been invested in sport and physical activity since 1997, representing an unprecedented investment in grassroots sport.
Mr Robertson said: "There is an urgent need to regenerate community sport. Elite sport is sorted with extra funding for elite athletes, and school sport is beginning to show green roots of recovery, but community sport is in trouble with no cash for amateur clubs in football, rugby and cricket - and we know the number of swimming pools that have closed."
He said the government should adopt the Audit Commission recommendation to streamline sports funding.
Mike Turner, a director of Leicestershire county cricket club who runs a free advice line for clubs seeking lottery grants, said: "Until 2012 the prospects are bleak for non-Olympic sports which are getting nowhere near the level of support they had before London won the 2012 bid."
He said the amount of lottery cash available had been diluted and would be reduced further by the £1.5bn of lottery funding ringfenced for financing London 2012. Local clubs needing cash for artificial pitches, pavilions and changing rooms could only apply through the Big Lottery Fund's Awards for All scheme with a £10,000 limit, or the Treasury's community club development programme, which allocated only a small percentage of what had been previously available under the lottery.
A spokeswoman for the DCMS said: "Four billion pounds will be invested in grassroots sport in the three years up to 2008 by government, the lottery and local authorities.
"This is a massive, unprecedented investment and much of it will go directly into local communities at the grassroots to strengthen their clubs, facilities and support networks, whether they are Olympic sports or not."

But the official, standing there in the endzone leaning forward like he's a track official waving the checkered flag is going to throw the flag. You know he's going to throw the flag, he wants to throw the flag, of course he throws the flag. ****ing jackarse. Leos get the gift PI TD (there should be a league stat on this we'd be getting the bums rush any year going)
For awhile I would just shake my head thinking, well, its CFL officiating, maybe it'll even out. Does it? How many weird games have we been screwed by the officiating. I can't remember many where its helped us much.
Part of it is because our players just aren't good enough. They don't put the opposition in situations where questionable calls can be made often enough. We don't have enough veterans who know how to "sell" certain plays - not saying outright diving but maybe a little verbal after every play at the ref to pressure him to eventually make a call, or a little acting on a play to exaggerate a penalty that otherwise wouldn't have been called.
Case in point: When Ray (who has the respect of the officials as a vet and as a good QB) was our QB, how many roughing the passer calls did we have go our way? Now that we have Reilly, how many obvious RTP calls have the officials not called?

Public User's Meeting
Public Records Division/Public Information Services Division
Public User's Meeting
September 19, 2007 2:00 p.m.
Jefferson Building Conference Center
The Public User's Meeting was held at 2:00 p.m. in the 1st floor conference room 1D70/1D80 of the Jefferson Building at 500 Dulany Street on the USPTO campus in Alexandria, Virginia. Martha Sneed, Manager of PISD, chaired the meeting. There were 5 members of the public in attendance.
Monthly parking will be reinstated for Public Searchers who possess yellow USPTO security badges. Searchers can apply for parking permits at the East Garage office of Colonial Parking, Inc.
Public Search Facility Update
Office of Corporate Services (OCS) will be installing new microfilm reader/printers next week to coincide with the start of the new fiscal year.
The cell phone booth discussed at previous meetings has been installed on the first floor in the PSF. This is a pilot program to see if it meets usage needs and requirements from the public. PSF staff is seeking feedback from the public on the convenience, availability, usage, etc. Question: Can something be put on the 2nd floor where the phones are located, i.e. closing the area off and carpeting the walls to buffer noise? This question will be forwarded to Facilities.
The lighting survey has been completed. A number of people expressed concern about the lighting situation, pro and con. A formal presentation is planned for the October Public User Meeting. More flexible arrangements with the lighting may be made.
Question: Is there a tally of the lighting survey results? Information will be presented at the meeting in October.
Comment: The men's restroom in PSF still has a problem with odor control/cleaning. The PSF staff is seeking feedback from users about changes with cleaning in the facility, good or bad. Users can send comments to the PSF e-mail address. There have also been complaints about roaches in South Tower on the 2nd floor. Facility Helpdesk has been notified and a ticket number generated.
A new version of UPWS is coming. It will require users to change their password every ninety days. The new version is due the last weekend in October. Limited beta testing will be made available to any users who wish to participate. There be approximately 3-4 days of beta testing.
Question: Will it be possible to add a subject line in the new version of UPWS? Will check on it.
There are still complaints from users about the flip rate. It is still slow. The Helpdesk says that there is nothing wrong with the flip rate. Users were invited to send complaints about the flip rate to the Helpdesk including the time of day, workstation number and the database accessed. When experiencing a problem from outside the PSF, the user should call the toll-free information number (800-786-9199) and report a problem with the website.
Public Records Division Update
Construction outside the North and South Tower building has caused a change of the location for the shuttle pickup/drop off. The pickup/drop off location for the Crystal City PTO shuttle has moved. For now it is several feet down from the original location. The Carlyle shuttle is navigating through construction debris, so far the pickup/drop off points are the same but may change in the near future. Building management has said this phase of construction should be wrapped up by January 2008. Garage access is also impacted by the construction work going on. Those people accessing the garage for parking must be very alert during the on going work since it is one-way in/out.
The lease for PTO at South Tower is set to expire March of 2009.
There is shuttle service in Crystal City that will loop to the Metro between the hours of 6:30am – 8:00pm daily, (instead of 5:30 am – 11:00 pm)
The meeting was adjourned at 2:40pm.
Next meeting is October 17, 2007, Jefferson Conference center room 1D70/1D80 at 2:00pm.

Growing Today: Jarrahdale PumpkinsPin It
That little pumpkin might not look like much right now, but if the growth of the pumpkin PLANT says anything about the growth of the pumpkins that will develop along that plant, it is going to be sublime. Check out this pumpkin plant that was planted first. See those arrows?? ALL of that foliage is from ONE plant. To put it in perspective, see that clump of about 15 pumpkin plants? They were planted just a few weeks after that first massive plant. In any case, we will have quite the harvest this fall...anybody need a few pumpkins??
I'm actually using these crazy growers to held shade out weeds as I wrestle my garden back under control. Besides these plantings in the veggie garden, there are about 10 more pumpkin, watermelon, cantaloupe and zucchini plants among all the flowers because the big broad leaves shade the ground so well and as I've learned...one little seed can cause quite a ruckus in the garden with its growth...
In case you are wondering...that first lighter, almost peachy colored flower and that humongous plant is a Jarrahdale Pumpkin. The gorgeous blue/grey Jarrahdale pumpkins. I have about 5 plants which should yield a good harvest. The rest of the pumpkin plants are literally from a pumpkin that fell off the front porch and landed in a pile of leaves. It rotted and this spring I had about 30 little plants. I just pulled them up and transplanted them when they were about 2-3 inches tall. The plan next year? Toss one of the Jarrahdale pumpkins in the pile of leaves and hope for baby Jarrahdale's next year! They are the beautiful blue/grey pumpkins. I can't wait to show off the decorating this fall...and if my plan works, NEXT fall should be killer!

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Very clean and comfortable hotel Breakfast was good You need to make it clear that the swimming pool is salty water (I assume it was from the sea) As an avid swimmer I was planning on a good swim, which is impossible in salty water There's a lot of noise from the pumps in the pool, really loud
That was a perfect holiday and maybe we will visit again, more than one time. Thank you a lot!
I liked the room which was spacious and comfortable and the location which was very near the beach.
It was clean and not too loud. The landscapes are beautiful. Shampoo and soap are not provided at the daily room cleaning. Lack of the internet conetivity (6 Euro per hour is not quite ok). Personal hotel was a little bit unpolite. The air-condition does not work. Size of the rooms is too small.
buffet, entertainment
location size of the double rooms
The location, and surrounding resturants. Breakfast choices limited.
it had everything I needed to enjoy the seaside with my two small children.
Clean, close to the beach, peaceful village, green surroundings necklace disappeared from the room during the day (cleaning staff?), late night program/music some days of the week in the atrium, no sunset (high mountains block the view)
Next to the beach (but pebble stone beach) The rooms could be more moderns, the flushing device was malfunctioning and the maid opened the door of the room while we were sleeping. There should be more fruit in the breakfast.
I really liked the location, central to every where i wanted. i thought the breakfast needed reviewing, we had the same scrambled egg, spicy sausage and bread every day! This is probably a UK thing as there was also fruit, but for breakfast??
The fantastic view from the room. The maid apparently did not have standard guidelines as to the daily cleaning routine of the room. She did or did not do things according to her own judgement.
everything was good, very good no, I liked everything
Wonderful location right by the sea and harbour. Spacious room. The breakfasts were a real delight - lots of choice and a lovely spot to linger over them and good unobtrusive service. A nice hotel in a very nice little resort - would come again Bathroom sink was cracked and some modernisation required there. Reception staff could have been more friendly
The room was ok, and the facilities and the breakfast were quite good. The staff was really helpful. We had no idea that the village was completely taken by resorts and tourists. In the last week of August we just couldn't find an available spot at the beach.
Its in the center of this nice litte village with an fantastic view to the sea Its very loud and therefor hard to sleep; the bathroom is too small
Nice location in a quiet fishing village, close to the beach. Needs refurbishing
The location was excellent - right on the sea front. Hotel staff very friendly and helpful.

I have a Ground Force lowering kit for sale. It is still on the truck as of right now. It is on my 2006 Cadillac Escalade EXT. According to Ground Force website this kit will work with all Escalades from 2002 - 2006... I believe it will also work with some other models like Tahoe, Yukon, Avalanche, ETC but you should check their site to make sure it will definately work.. The part number on the kit is 9958. I bought the kit brand new and the kit has approximately 10,000 miles on it which isnt alot at all. I still have the original box and all. I am selling the kit and instead of going back to stock I am probably going to throw a lift kit in. So I am just waiting to get all of that together and once the lift kit is ready to go in this will come out and be ready to ship. I didn't put an asking price as I am not sure what these even go for. So if you want make an offer. Also if i recall correctly the kit is very very heavy so shipping is probably going to be expensive based on the weight... If you want email me your shipping info and I will get a quote for you... I am located in North Bergen, NJ so if you are local you can pick up...

I'm looking for a pattern (preferrably free) of a cabled hoodie
Like if the rogue pullover had a zipper and no kangaroo pocket.http://www.girlfromauntie.com/patterns/shop/rogue/detail.php
And, I'd possibly like to pop some sort of celtic knot motif on the back as well.
The plan is to make this in a small size in a very wearable light yarn (I just started a project in Lion Brand Cotton-Ease and love it) for my mom as a post-workout pullover. Nothing too precious, because I hope she'll like it a lot and want to wear it often.
I didn't see anything quite like that, but here's one that has a zipper.
Central Park Hoodie is really popular... Paton's Street Smart is here, and this one is free and fairly simple.
Hi! I did the Central Park Hoodie Viking version and used different cables you can see the not so great pics here:http://www.flickr.com/photos/gargoylelib/sets/72157606926371440/
It is a nicely versatile pattern and I know some people put a zip in it.I also have these bookmarked for future projects:
Olive Branch Yoga HoodieA better pic of the yoga hoodieThat Weasley Girl (goes from child to adult size)A Drops design cardigan
Also, there are a few people who have turned Rogue into a cardigan and I think there are instructions for doing so on the girl from auntie website.

Jess Kent
It only takes two minutes in the company of JESS KENT to recognise her star potential. The charismatic 22 year old artist from Adelaide (via London) bounced onto the scene last year with the infectious single 'Get Down' after teaching herself how to record and writing her own songs, as well as undertaking countless hours busking and selling her music on the streets of her hometown. She's a woman in demand, busy recording her debut EP and appearing as a special guest of Flume at his recent Splendour headline set. There is serious international interest in this rising talent, come see what the fuss is about.

I just happened to walk past my computer and noticed all Paris's new gifts. Then I sat down, started reading the posts, and realized it was her birthday. Words cannot express my feelings. I am trying to write this through "blurred' vision. I miss my girl so much, even though we have LuLu. She has been wearing Paris's sweater and Christmas collar (She hates them both. You would think I put a straight jacket on her).
I have been thinking about Paris so much since October, the day she left that I completely forgot about her birthday and the gift of her presence in our lives. I have been trying to stay busy by staying in touch with all the Marines that have come into our lives and preparing for the Saviors birth. I do not think a day goes by that I don't think about her and her gift of love.
I am sure she is certainly having a great party with her friends.
We love you our angel girl...
Love- mom

1. I hated to be dressed up. I wouldn't budge when my girl did that!
2. I am an expert escape artist.
3. I loved sleeping with mom.
4. I loved having tubbies (but not being blow dried)!!
5. I would shake and shake if I went for a car ride in the night! Not during the day though.
6. LuLu is my niece!
7. I buried everything! Mom would find my "treasures" everywhere (this thought is making her cry).
The pups I will tag are:
1. Junior
2. Pheobe
3. Wilson
4. Wally
5. Clover
6. Finnegan
7. Dudley
Thanks for being my friend!
I never realized what a big help in the kitchen Paris really was.
I have not had to bend over and sweep so much, as I have hasd to tonight
I've picked up apples, pie crust, flour, you name it… I guess I should have seen this comming, since a couple of weeks ago when Hannah and her girl friends decided (of course the night before!!), that they were going to bring their Sadie's "dates" to our house for dinner and to watch a movie in the T.V. room after the dance. I hustled the next day to make the house presentable. I don't go up to the T.V. room much (Paris LOVED movie night!) so I thought I better go up and give it a once over. Man! I don't think I have ever had to vacuum up there in the four years we have been in this house! There were chips and popcorn all over the place! Hahahaha! Paris was my vacuum! WOW! The things you find out. Any way, just thought I'd share.
Paris: I wish you were here to pick up after me…

Ramada Nürnberg Parkhotel
Muenchener Str 25, Nuremberg, Bavaria
0.0 mi from
good value for money the late 80s design of the place is tough to like
Very comfortable and clean room. Good accessibility of the hotel that is located in a nice city park. Excellent restaurant. Friendly staff
English speaking, nice rooms, good breakfast, helpful staff. Nothing. For the price, it was well worth it.
A very nice hotel in a big park, 10 minutes by tram from "altstatt". Nice rooms, and the staff were very nice and took good care of us. Good restaurant and very nice breakfast in a big breakfastroom. Easy to park our car in a parkinghouse in the bacement. We are very satisfied with our stay i Nürnberg.
Very comfortable,peacefull,quiet hotel with good food.
It was close to my overal destination and it was alot cheaper than it would have been if I didnt book online.
Nice view. Friendly staff. Good breakfast
Friendly Staff.Rooms and all facilities were and had the feel of being spotless. Excellent breakfast.
The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Room View & Food. No, but I want to comunicate with the Cashier, please advice
Close to Tourist attractions, parks and public transport. The restaurant was excellent.
Good restaurant at the hotel, free Wi-Fi, nice stuff not ideal location if you rely on public transport (but not bad, of course)
Great staff, atmosphere very genuine German, clean and very good meals. 10 minutes on tram to town.
A very nice hotel, in a very disappointing city, where all has been rebuilt from almost scratch. The hotel is relatively far from the old town.
Good location & friendly staff; attractive old building. Scrambled eggs, bacon & bratwurst with breakfast! Saggy mattress- not the best night's sleep.
Staff was very friendly and helpful, location was convenient for the Messe and for public transportation.

: I LOVE my new t-shirt!!
Thanks naturallycurly.com for the arrival of my 2 new t-shirts. The fabric is top-notch and the printing is vibrant.
I plan to wear them not only on good hair days but "not-so-good" hair days also...I'm no longer embarrassed by poofy/frizzy/big hair.
This site has helped me realize the extent of control I have over my own hair and that was half the battle in my lifetime. Some days we have control and some days we don't.
Sooooo....from one curly head to all the others, the t-shirts are pretty cool & looks like they'll be fun to wear

Costa Mediterranea : the Luna Park boat: Costa Mediterranea Cruise Review by fayruz
Overall Member Rating
Costa Mediterranea : the Luna Park boat
Destination: Transatlantic
Embarkation: Miami
The cabin crew : spectacular, even if visibly reduced, they managed to clean and very well our cabin twice daily, finding also the time to make towel animals.
The restaurant crew : same as cabin, very kind and helpfull in everything. Still try to sell you bottled water when the normal one is perfectly ok.
No way to get a hot tea in a cup bigger than cappuccino size.
The spa crew : very kind and apologetic when the steam bath or sauna were out of order, pity no one checked if they worked when opening.
The pools : small, you stand in them and absolutely freezing, even the hot tubs were cold tubs. The roof of the covered one was left open when it was cold (the first day of sailing) because - this was the actual More answer - it can not be closed while sailing. Pity that they had to close it the following days because they could not set out the sales tables, and we were sailing. And from there on it remained closed, we went through the "tropic passage" in a closed, cramped pool area. No way to see anything.
Service, in general, is gone down the hill at full speed.
The food : absolutely not in Costa standards,the cruise had been sold to large groups of french and german guests - apparently - at a very low cost.
Excursions : the only one we did with them (Tortola Virgin Gorda) was booked because we had been scared in the eventuality of loosing the boat. Not true : on the spot we discovered that other people were doing what we were doing for half the price.
If I ever cruise again with Costa, and I doubt it, I will only if I get a ridiculous price like the others. I will never again book well in advance. Less

Cabin review: 8153
it is in front of an engine room, very noisy. The whole ship has a vibration that is felt more in the aft section, lower decks vibrate more.

Because Of Inertia, The Dollar Will Keep FallingRudi Dornbusch
Early this year, the prospect of a steep dollar rise was very good. Now the dollar is in the tank: It has reached an all-time low against the yen and is on the way to a low against the mark.
Four factors determine the performance of a currency: an economy's external balance, the relative cyclical position of a country's economy, the relative level of interest rates, and general investor appeal. Of course, most of the time these factors don't all point in the same direction. That makes for large swings in perception: The same interest-rate level that one day seems high and rewarding is deemed the next day to barely compensate for risks.
Fundamentals--deficits, cyclical positions, interest rates--all can be enlisted to explain a currency's strength, especially after the fact. But they must be given shifting weights to help explain currency movements. Moreover, market psychology plays an important role. Surveys of investor expectations reveal that foreign-exchange markets systematically extrapolate recent trends--a currency that has been depreciating is expected to continue depreciating over the near term. Over longer horizons it is expected to make a comeback. The dollar is on one of these trips, driven down by the general assumption that there is nothing to keep it up--neither fundamentals, including Federal Reserve interest-rate hikes, nor strong intervention.
Exchange-rate movements can get out of hand, with speculative opinion as an important driving force. The best example is the U.S. dollar in the 1980s: From the late 1970s to 1985, the dollar rose against the mark by nearly 100%. The increased investor appeal of early Reagan vs. late Carter, recovery from a deep recession, and high interest rates made the dollar a hot asset. Then, overreaching itself, the dollar started a slide against the mark that continued for the next five years.
NO RESTRAINT. The reason there was a good prospect for a dollar rally earlier this year was that Europe's economies were weak and Japan was mired in a prolonged slump. In the U.S., a boom seemed to emerge with rising interest rates on the horizon. But by now, U.S. erowth is old news and can't carry the dollar any further. In Germany, the mighty mark is on the rise. Angst has given way to outright euphoria, pointing to a possible reelection of Helmut Kohl's coalition government. In Japan, the slump has yielded to consumer spending. Growth is around the corner. Interest-rate cuts abroad are unlikely now, while in the U.S., rate increases are slow to come.
On the interest-rate front, the dollar has received little support at home. The Clinton Administration has come out repeatedly against higher interest rates even though the economy is now at 6%, which in the U.S. is reckoned as full employment. Congress has cautioned the Fed against interest-rate rises. Moreover, although fiscal restraint would be highly appropriate, it has been ruled out on political grounds.
Dollar support thus has eroded both in terms of interest-rate differentials and the cyclical position. That leaves the large U.S. current-account deficit as a focal point--more so as it widens once again under the impact of a boom. Moreover, the rise of the yen against the dollar is also appropriate in light of the evolution of U.S.-Japan trade talks. It's now clear the Administration will settle for anything, anything at all, just to get a deal. Anything at all means practically nothing. Thus, if a trade opening is not about to happen in this decade, more work needs to be done through the exchange rate to correct Japan's imbalances. One more reason then for a strong yen.
TEPID RESPONSE. The remaining factor--investor enthusiasm--gives the dollar little support. The President is weakened by his personal problems, by being caught up in a health-care agenda, by a foreign-policy posture that hardly inspires confidence. None of this offers comfort to investors. And if these factors weren't enough, the tepid response of the Administration to the dollar slide--halfhearted intervention--has done the rest.
What is needed is a forceful, coordinated intervention that puts a floor under the dollar. The only way to get there is to accompany the move with higher U.S. interest rates. Fed funds would have to be pushed up by 75 or even 100 basis points to make a major difference. Much of the work must come from the New York Fed, but some extra help from Germany and Japan would do well to both lock in the dollar and help ease long-term bond and equity markets. Neither in the U.S. nor abroad is there any enthusiasm to make currency rates the central focus of monetary policy. That leaves the dollar on the skid.
No one wants to be blindsided by another move of a currency that is selling mff. Just as in the 1980s, we may get an overshooting situation where exchange rates move very far away from fundamentals. Too much of a dollar depreciation will push the U.S. beyond full employment and into early, unnecessary inflation. Abroad, it may put in question recoveries that are just emerging. Don't the currency speculators know all that? On the evidence of the 1980s, probably not.

Candice Swanepoel & Adriana Lima Step Out After Big VS Fashion Show Announcement
Stepping out to share some exciting news, Candice Swanepoel and Adriana Lima headed to the Victoria's Secret store in Central London on Tuesday (April 15).
The blonde bombshell looked stunning in a furry pink crop top and high-waisted jeans while her fellow Angel donned an all-black ensemble as they posed for a few shutterbugs nearby.
During a press conference inside the store, the lingerie giant announced its annual show will be moved from New York City to London this year.
Miss Lima revealed, "We're pretty excited to be here today because we have this great announcement to make. The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is the biggest fashion event in the world, for sure, and we're very proud and honored to announce that we are headed to London this year. Yes!"
She happily noted, "I'd like to invite Prince Harry, if he could like to come. He definitely has a front row seat."
Victoria's Secret marketing director Ed Razek stated, "We started planning the show the day after the last show. We plan for a year. The best time to think about what to do next year is immediately after you finish the show because you see what kind of things you want to do.
It's a full year planning. We're heavily into planning now."
The famous show has been held in various locations including Cannes, Los Angeles, Miami and New York City.

Abeloff Scholars Program
Honoring the memory of Martin D. Abeloff, M.D., late Director of the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center
The goals of cancer prevention and control are the understanding of the causes and risk factors for cancer in healthy populations; the discovery and development of new approaches to cancer chemoprevention; and the implementation and assessment of community-based initiatives, including cancer risk reduction and cancer screening.
The next generation of specialists in cancer prevention and control must be trained in multidisciplinary science and have the skills to translate basic science to community-based interventions and clinical outcomes. These specialists will have to address the ever-increasing burden of cancer worldwide and the special needs of millions of cancer survivors. The Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center is a unique and ideal training venue for these specialists. To prepare these specialists, we have established the Martin D. Abeloff Scholars Program in Cancer Prevention and Control to include the Martin D. Abeloff Faculty Scholar and two Martin D. Abeloff Scholars-in-Training.
The Martin D. Abeloff Faculty Scholar will be one of the world's most outstanding scholars of cancer prevention and control. The Scholar will be recruited by the executive committee of the Abeloff Scholars Program with a focus on minority candidates. The Program will provide salary support and benefits for a three-year period. After three years, the Scholar will rotate off and a new outstanding scholar can be recruited and appointed. The scholar will devote 50% of their time to the development of basic laboratory or population-based investigations. The other 50% of their time will be devoted to a structured program that will provide mentoring, networking, and formal training to enhance the translational research skills of the Abeloff Scholars-in-Training. The Scholar will meet regularly with the executive committee to assure progress in mentoring and research is facilitated and supported.
The two Martin D. Abeloff Scholars-in-Training will be senior postdoctoral fellows, oncology fellows, or scientists who are looking to develop an academic career in translational research in cancer prevention and control. The Abeloff Scholars Program will support salary and benefits for a two-year period. The Scholars-in-Training will have a strong foundation in one of the basic sciences, clinical sciences, or population sciences and will identify a laboratory focus and a collaborative research activity to broaden their opportunities in clinical and translational research. The structured mentoring program will assure that these young investigators can become integrated into the wide number of translational Cancer research opportunities in prevention and control. Importantly, these scholars and their training backgrounds will not be limited by U.S. residency requirements, and therefore candidates can be drawn from the diverse, international community of cancer trainees. By the year 2050, two-thirds of all cancer in the world will be diagnosed in Asia and we intend for the Abeloff Scholars-in-Training program to increase the breadth and depth of collaborative research efforts and impact around the world.
The Martin D. Abeloff Scholars Program will address the capacity building needs for cancer prevention and control by training and supporting outstanding mature investigators and mentors, and by training young scientists, whose impact on this field will be felt for the rest of the century.

A Comparative Clinical Trial to Assess the Accuracy of the TensorTip, a Novel Non Invasive Device for the Measurement of Physiological Parameters and Blood Parameters
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The aim of the clinical trial is to study the accuracy of the TensorTip device compared with registered (FDA-approved) invasive and non-invasive devices.
- Hypothesis:
Human physiological biomarkers may be measured from the color distribution of the internal or external (skin) tissue. The technology of the TensorTip finger-mounted device is based on the color distribution of the peripheral blood tissue, which enables the measurement of certain biomarkers and vital signs under consideration.
|Accuracy of the TensorTip Device Compared With Standard Hospital Physiology and Lab Measurements.
|Device: Non invasive peripheral blood monitoring
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Single Blind (Investigator)
Primary Purpose: Screening
|Official Title:
|A Comparative Clinical Trial to Assess the Accuracy of the TensorTip, a Novel Non Invasive Device for the Measurement of Physiological and Blood Chemistry Parameters
- Comparison of the TensorTip accuracy against hospital periodical readings. [ Time Frame: app 2 minute for each recording. ]To validate the physiologic (BP, HR, Spo2, Perfusion, pCo2, pO2, SV and other physiology patrameters) and blood chemistry (Hgb,Hct, Glucose, and others blood chemistry parameters) with similar measures obtained simultanously with standard invasive techniques in hospitalized patients.
|Study Start Date:
|August 2010
|Study Completion Date:
|August 2014
|Primary Completion Date:
|July 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Other Names:
Detailed Description:
The TensorTip (previously named Soft Touch) is a novel non invasive Finger tip device that. The Tensor Tip is a non-invasive device which was designed and aimed to measure a wide range of physiological and bio-parameters such as blood glucose, hemoglobin and hematocrit, blood PH, oxygen saturation SpO2, blood carbon dioxide, blood pressure, peripheral pulse and more based on the temporarily color distribution of the tissue under consideration. The Tensor Tip is based on real time color image sensor, real time photographing the fingertip tissue. A color image sensor of the type used in the Tensor Tip enables a wide range of information in the spectral, resolution, dynamic range and time domains enabling further investigation of the blood chromatic changes as a function body physiology. The concept behind this investigation reflects the idea that a change in human physiology condition would temporarily change the blood pigmentation.
The present study is aimed to assess the accuracy of the novel device in measuring all the above mentioned parameters by recording AS IS the change of the fingertip color tissue while simultaneous recording the standard invasive measured parameters on daily or periodic routine in the hospitalized patients.
This vast data recordings (tissue and references) enable the Tensor tip to analyze a particular bio parameter. The tensor tip is calibrated to a certain bio parameter based on the vast data set collected.
The bio parameter under consideration are: Arterial Systolic and Diastolic, MAP, PA systolic, PA Diastolic, CO, Heart rate, Stroke volume, WBC, RBC, Hgb, HCT ,Iron, PLT, PH, PCO2, PO2, HCO3, SaO2 , Na, K, Cl, CO2, Bun, Cr, Gluc, HGB (A1C),TBiLi, LDL, HDL.
This study hopes to demonstrate the connection between blood color pigmentation and certain bio parameters for simplifying monitoring procedure and particular home monitoring.
