Chevron has cleared one of the last major hurdles before giving the go-ahead for its huge Wheatstone liquefied natural gas venture in Western Australia, having secured state environmental approval for the project.
WA Environment Minister Bill Marmion on Tuesday confirmed clearance had been granted by the state government for the full 25 million tonnes a year project, with 25 conditions protecting marine fauna, including whales, turtles and dugongs. Federal approval has yet to be secured for the project, which Chevron and its partners want to give the go-ahead for later this year.
Chevron had earlier challenged some of the stringent conditions set by the WA Environmental Protection Authority on the approval, but would not specify which restrictions it had appealed.
Mr Marmion said on Tuesday that the conditions around the approval required the immediate suspension to dredging if coral outside defined areas were to be damaged and a ban on blasting at night during peak nesting seasons for marine turtles.
Chevron must also arrange for $13 million in environmental offsets and reductions in greenhouse gas emissions by offsetting about 2.6 million tonnes a year of carbon dioxide emissions extracted from the gas in the offshore reservoirs.
Chevron Australia managing director Roy Krzywosinski welcomed the approval and said the company was looking forward to a "timely" clearance from Canberra.
The first stage of the project would involve two LNG production units producing a total of 8.9 million tonnes a year of LNG, to be built at the Ashburton North industrial area near Onslow. Gas would be supplied from Chevron's Wheatstone field in the Carnarvon Basin as well as from fields owned by Apache and Kuwait's Kufpec, which are partners in the project.
Royal Dutch Shell also has a stake in the venture, while customers including Tokyo Electric Power Co. have been negotiating to take up equity. LNG sales contracts with some customers have yet to be firmed up.
The project would include a gas plant to supply the WA market.
Mr Marmion described Wheatstone as "a huge development for Western Australia."
"At its peak, the construction workforce for Wheatstone is expected to reach 3000 people, in addition to a further 3500 indirect jobs and billions of dollars in locally purchased goods and services," he said.

antibodies are only one part of our response to an illness—in other conditions antibodies can make a disease worse.
People rebuilding their lives after prison are "the healing agents, the antibodies," he said.
The human body seems to be pretty good at protecting itself from naturally acquired diseases by producing its own antibodies.
Four weeks after the injections, all 20 of the participants had developed the antibodies needed to stave off the infection.
According to those who witnessed the transfusion, the effects of the antibodies were seemingly evident within hours.
The question which of the body cells are engaged in the production of antibodies is not uncommonly asked.
With this exception these antibodies are chiefly of theoretical interest.
Experimentally, also, it appears that antibodies (agglutinins) are produced by the vaccine (and modifications thereof).
The formation of antibodies has even been explained on this basis by Weiggert and Ehrlich in their side-chain theory.
These substances are called antibodies, and the search for antibodies in different diseases has been an enthusiastic one.
antibody an·ti·bod·y (ān'tĭ-bŏd'ē)
Abbr. Ab A protein substance produced in the blood or tissues in response to a specific antigen, such as a bacterium or a toxin, that destroys or weakens bacteria and neutralizes organic poisons, thus forming the basis of immunity.
An immunoglobulin present in the blood serum or body fluids as a result of antigenic stimulus and interacting only with the antigen that induced it or with an antigen closely related to it.
Any of numerous proteins produced by B lymphocytes in response to the presence of specific foreign antigens, including microorganisms and toxins. Antibodies consist of two pairs of polypeptide chains, called heavy chains and light chains, that are arranged in a Y-shape. The two tips of the Y are the regions that bind to antigens and deactivate them. Also called immunoglobulin.
Our Living Language : Like other vertebrates, humans possess an effective immune system that uses antibodies to fight bacteria, viruses, and cancer cells. Antibodies are complex, Y-shaped protein molecules. The immune system's B lymphocytes, which are produced by the bone marrow, develop into plasma cells that can generate a huge variety of antibodies, each one capable of combining with and destroying an antigen, a foreign molecule. Antibodies react to very specific characteristics of different antigens, binding them to the top ends of their Y formation. Once the antibody and antigen combine, the antibodies deactivate the antigen or lead it to macrophages(a kind of white blood cell) that ingest and destroy it. High numbers of a particular antibody may persist for months after an invasion, eventually diminishing. However, the B cells can quickly manufacture more of the same antibody if exposure to the antigen recurs. Vaccines work by "training" B cells to recognize and react quickly to potential disease molecules.
Proteins in the blood that are produced by the body in response to specific antigens (such as bacteria). (See immune system.)

Odd Nosdam
T r i s h - EP
Label: Burnco Recs
Release Date: Sep-24-2013
David P. Madson, better known as Odd Nosdam, subtly pays homage to renowned artist and late Broadcast singer Trish Keenan by revisiting shelved material following his 2007 release, Level Live Wires. On T R I S H, Nosdam harnesses the aural mystery of a sample-based approach with an emphasis on cassette manipulation and distortion. Overall T R I S H lingers and drifts through a shimmering fog of high-register sonics with introspectively tonal movements. While Nosdam's sound may intersect with Broadcast at times, his approach on T R I S H is distinctly his own: a unique blend of emotive ambiguity and lush, wandering vacancy. Clocking in at just over 25 minutes, with appearances by Bre'r and Grouper's Liz Harris, Nosdam's T R I S H is as dense as it is reflective.

KAMPALA – Uganda's government on Tuesday defended its decision to push through tough anti-homosexuality laws, saying it was determined to protect the country's "morals" even if that meant losing international aid.
Veteran President Yoweri Museveni has announced he would sign into law a controversial bill that will see homosexuals jailed for life, despite warnings from key allies, including the United States.
Officials also said Museveni had last week signed into law anti-pornography and dress code legislation that outlaws "provocative" clothing, bans scantily clad performers from Ugandan television and closely monitors what individuals watch on the Internet.
"We shall not care losing the financial support from our partners if only we are left alone," Minister for Ethics and Integrity Simon Lokodo told reporters, saying Ugandans would rather "die poor than live in an immoral nation.
"For donors to say they will not give us aid because of the anti-homosexuality bill and the anti-porno law, that is blackmail and unacceptable, they can rather stay with their aid," he said.
"If tomorrow, the president signs the anti-homosexuality bill and the outside world say they are not coming to Uganda, let them remain there, we don't care."
The anti-gay bill cruised through parliament in December after its architects agreed to drop an extremely controversial death penalty clause. The legislation still stipulates that repeat homosexuals should be jailed for life, outlaws the promotion of homosexuality and requires people to denounce gays.
Museveni, a key African ally of the United States and the European Union, has already come under fire from Western donors over alleged rampant corruption, and had been under pressure from diplomats and rights groups to block the legislation.
Last month a spokesman for Museveni said the president believed that gays were "sick" and "abnormal," but felt that sending them to prison was not the right solution.
But another presidential spokesman said Monday that Muzeveni had decided to support the bill after seeking advice from a team of domestic scientists who were asked to "study homosexuality and genetics in human beings."
The spokesman said the scientists concluded that "there is no definitive gene responsible for homosexuality," meaning that "homosexuality is not a disease but merely an abnormal behavior" that needed to be banned.
On the anti-pornography law, Lokodo said the aim was to "curb pornographic practices."
"It will change a lot. It's going to curb media houses, broadcasting corporations, from being obscene and indecent," he said.
"We shall go to the common understanding of decency and we know everybody knows what is decent. The police, a special anti-pornography enforcement team, will enforce it," he said.
"What it is saying is that one should dress decently. In any public environment, are you in the market, are you in the street, are you on the podium?"
On Sunday, U.S. President Barack Obama said he was "deeply disappointed" in the Ugandan leader's plans to move forward with the anti-gay bill and said it would complicate relations between Washington and Kampala.
"We believe that people everywhere should be treated equally, with dignity and respect, and that they should have the opportunity to reach their fullest potential, no matter who they are or whom they love," Obama said in a statement.
European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton also said Tuesday that she is "deeply concerned," and that the EU "deplores discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation."
"Uganda was the first country in Africa to break the conspiracy of silence on AIDS . . . but now I am scared that this bill will take Uganda backwards, relinquishing its leadership role in the AIDS response," said Michel Sidibe, the head of UNAIDS.

Brian Scott Earns a 17th-Place-Finish Under the Lights at Daytona
Brian Scott and the No. 2 Rain-X/Advance Auto Parts team traveled to Daytona International Speedway for a hot Friday night race under the lights. The Phil Gould-led team started the race from the fourth position and ultimately took the checkered flag in the 17th position. When the green-flag waved, Scott hooked on to the No. 60 car and the duo moved into the top two spots, with Scott eventually taking the lead on the third lap. With a desire to run a safe race in order to be in contention at the end, Scott dropped back in the field. The Boise, Idaho-native visited pit road under green-flag conditions for four tires and fuel on lap 36. As green-flag stops cycled through, Scott was scored in the 19th position. The caution flag was displayed on lap 70, giving the Rain-X/Advance Auto Parts driver an opportunity to visit pit road for two tires and a full tank of Sunoco Racing fuel. He restarted in the 17th spot and climbed as high as 11th. As the race progressed, the action on the track picked up. The caution came out once again on lap 89 as Scott just narrowly missed a multi-car wreck. NASCAR displayed the red flag in order to clean up the debris left behind. When the field went back to green he restarted in the 23rd position, but the caution quickly flew once again setting the field up for a green-white-checkered finish. Scott restarted from the 24th-position and took the checkered flag in the 17th spot.
Start - 4th Finish - 17th Laps Led - 1 Points - 9th
Brian Scott Quote:
"We had a really fast Rain-X/Advance Auto Parts Chevrolet Camaro tonight. I just waited a little too long to make our move towards the front. It's the first time I've ever been too cautious. I'm really proud of Phil (Gould - Crew Chief) and the guys for their hard work. We were fast all weekend. We'll take tonight and move on to Loudon."
Austin Dillon Earns Fifth-Place Finish in NASCAR Nationwide Series Race at Daytona International Speedway
Sporting a patriotic, red, white and blue AdvoCare Spark NASCAR America Salutes paint scheme, Austin Dillon earned his sixth pole award of the 2013 NASCAR Nationwide Series season and led laps in Richard Childress Racing's No. 3 Chevrolet Camaro before posting a fifth-place finish under the lights at Daytona International Speedway. The Welcome, N.C., driver entered the race with one-in-four odds to win a $100,000 Nationwide Insurance Dash 4 Cash bonus by finishing ahead of fellow competitors Elliott Sadler, Kyle Larson and Brian Vickers during the scheduled 100-lap affair, and was a strong contender in the early running. He led the field to the American Ethanol green flag after earning his sixth pole award, in his last seven starts, earlier in the day and spent much of the beginning portion of the race in the front of the field before falling in the running order in an attempt to drive a conservative race. Dillon was scored in the 19th position when the caution flag was displayed with 30 laps remaining in the race. Crew chief Danny Stockman directed Dillon down pit road for a fuel-only pit stop and quick work by the AdvoCare crew gained the team several positions as Dillon restarted from the eighth position on lap 77. Just a few laps later, Dillon drafted his way into the second position before the field was frozen for a multi-car incident that occurred behind him, resulting in a 9:49 minute red flag to clean debris off the race track sending the race into a green-white-checker "overtime" finish. The sophomore Nationwide Series driver restarted from the second position and made a plan to tandem draft with Parker Kligerman. Shortly after the green-flag was displayed, their draft was broken up and Dillon dropped to 21st. With just one lap to regain track position, Dillon chose the middle line and raced his way to a fifth-place finish. Although Dillon missed the Nationwide Insurance Dash 4 Cash $100,000 bonus at Daytona by one finishing position, his fifth-place finish qualifies him for the program and a possible $100,000 bonus at New Hampshire Motor Speedway next week.
Start - 1st Finish - 5th Laps Led - 5 Points - 5th
"Man, that was fun. I had a great time racing tonight at Daytona International Speedway. We had a fast Spark Chevrolet. It was a great comeback on the last lap. I used the middle line and I was going for it all. I knew it was all or nothing. I wish we could have stuck with Parker Kligerman at the end there."
Late-Race Incident Relegates Ty Dillon to 27th-Place Finish at Daytona
Ty Dillon and the No. 33 Hunt Brothers Pizza team were involved in an incident on the last lap relegating them to a 27th-place finish in the NASCAR Nationwide Series event at Daytona International Speedway. Earning the third-fastest time in qualifying on Friday afternoon, Dillon jumped into a two-car tandem in the early portion of the race. After losing the draft to pit under green-flag conditions on lap 32, Dillon battled to regain his track position throughout the remainder of the event. The Welcome, N.C., native found a dancing partner in the late stages of the race and battled back inside the top 10. A late-race caution period set the field for a green-white-checkered finish. The Richard Childress Racing team was shuffled back in the running order and was tagged in the rear fender, sending the No. 33 machine through the infield grass. Dillon saved his Chevrolet from making contact with the wall, but ultimately posted a 27th-place finish.
Start-3rd Finish-27th Laps Led-0 Owner's Points-11th
"It was a tough night. The No. 33 Hunt Brothers Pizza team did a great job putting together a fast race car. We couldn't get the track position and a drafting partner to be there at the end. We'll take this as a learning experience for next time."

LOS ANGELES (AP) A successful entertainment attorney who was married to actress Catherine Bach was found dead in an apparent suicide Friday, coroners officials said.
Peter Lopez, 60, died of a gunshot wound at his home in the Encino Hills, coroner's office operations chief Craig Harvey said.
A neighbor reported hearing a shot and someone at the home found Lopez's body, coroners officials said.
Bach and her two daughters suffered a "tragic personal loss," said her publicist, Steve Rohr.
Bach played Daisy Duke in the 1980s TV series "The Dukes of Hazzard."
Lopez was Michael Jackson's music attorney for several years, according to Alfred Newman, a spokesman for the firm Lopez helped found, Kleinberg Lopez Lange Cuddy & Klein. He also represented The Eagles, Andrea Bocelli and Michael Buble.
"We are deeply shocked and saddened by the unexpected loss of our friend and partner," the firm said in a statement.
Lopez worked with singers, record producers and songwriters and was a co-producer of the Jennifer Lopez film "Selena," a biopic about the beloved Tejano singer who was killed by the president of her fan club.
Raymone Bain, Michael Jackson's former general manager, said she hired Peter Lopez in 2006 as Jackson's entertainment attorney when she was reorganizing the singer's business affairs.
"I'd known Peter for 20 years," she said. When she was searching for a new legal team she said another of her clients, R&B singer Babyface, recommended Lopez.
"I can't think of a nicer individual," she said. "He was a good guy. I'm just so shocked."
She said Lopez traveled with her and Jackson to London for the World Music Awards and spoke to the singer quite often.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger appointed Lopez to the California State Athletic Commission, which regulates boxing, and as the director of the California Exposition and State Fair Board.
Lopez attended UCLA Law School.

We tend to focus on growth stocks, given our penchant for investing in secular trends, and willingness to pay up for best-in-class growth. But, every so often, we see a stock that is simply too compelling in terms of value to pass it up. While we invest in growth stocks, we do so for capital appreciation, and if a value stock presents a great chance at capital appreciation, then we will invest in it. We have found just such a stock, and it is in an unexpected sector. Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN) is the world's largest biotech company, and we think it is a great stock to invest in going forward. When people think of biotech, they usually think of unprofitable pre-launch companies such as Pharmasset (VRUS) or companies just launching a new drug, such as Dendreon (NASDAQ:DNDN). Amgen is in a class of its own. As the world's largest biotech company, it dominates the sector. Yet, despite its ever-increasing profitability, shares of Amgen have barely moved over the past year, posting a gain of 2.43%, compared to the S&P 500's 6% rise. Amgen has had an incredible run since its IPO, advancing over 17,000% since 1983. But lately, the stock has stagnated, over worries that we think will soon abate. In investing, the past and the future can be radically different, and we think Amgen's future is bright. Amgen's most recent quarter, had the company report a better than expected quarter, earning $1.40 a share on revenues of $3.9 billion. While GAAP earnings were $0.50 cents a share, this was due to a charge the company took to settle legal cases, and does not reflect operational weakness at the company. The company has yet again raised its revenue and EPS guidance, to $15.4-$15.6 billion and $5.15-$5.30 respectively. CFO Jonathan Peacock, on the company's conference call, stated:
Overall, revenues grew 3% in the quarter. Excluding ESAs, product sales grew 13%, reflecting strong growth across the portfolio, particularly on Europe franchises.
It is interesting to note that Amgen chose to highlight European sales as a key area of strength. How many companies actively boast of strong growth in Europe? On the call, analysts questioned Amgen on sales and pricing in Europe, and the company responded:
...our business in Europe continues to grow. So overall, we're pleased with the performance of the business internationally, and we continue to launch new products and benefit from those new product launches. So we're growing internationally. We recognized other significant macroeconomic pressure, and some of that pressure may be reflected in price changes, and we're continuing to watch that pretty carefully.
I have previously discussed with you our commitment to ensure that we continue to live within our means. With this in mind, last week, we announced a reduction in R&D headcount. This was necessary to refocus our R&D programs on those efforts likely to have a near-term clinical impact.
- AMG-785: This is a "a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets sclerostin, a protein secreted by bone cells that inhibits bone formation. AMG 785 (also known as CDP7851) is being developed in collaboration with UCB for bone-related conditions, including postmenopausal osteoporosis and fracture healing." The company had great Phase II trials with it, and is currently in discussions with the FDA regarding Phase III trials.
- XGEVA: While XGEVA is an approved product, Amgen is conducting Phase III trials to expand its use, into the prevention of bone metastases in breast and prostate cancer. Should its use be expanded, sales will soar even faster than the already impressive growth the drug has.
- AMG-145: Though this antibody is in Phase I trials, Amgen has said that the outlook is very promising. This "is a fully human monoclonal antibody to Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin Type 9 ("PCSK9"), a negative regulator of LDLR. AMG 145 is being investigated for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia." The head of R&D, Roger Perlmutter stated on the call that "it's behaving extremely well, and we hope to be able to share Phase II data with you in not too long of time."
- Ganitumab: This antibody, known also as AMG-479, is currently in development with Takeda. It targets pancreatic cancer by blocking cell growth via inhibition of the type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-1R). The product is currently in Phase III trials, and data should be expected in October 2013. Though this is 2 years away, we feel that it is products like these that separate Amgen from the rest of the field.
Amgen has more than an outstanding pipeline, however. It also has a solid balance sheet, with almost $3.8 billion in net cash. Amgen has expanded its stock buyback to $10 billion, and has repurchased $3.2 billion in shares in 2011 alone. Amgen is investing in the business on all fronts, yet is also firmly committed to returning cash to shareholders. The company is investing heavily in R&D, yet is also focused on rewarding shareholders in the form of stock buybacks and dividends. Amgen recently became the first major biotech company to pay a dividend. The stock currently pays 28 cents a share in dividends, for a yield of 1.9%. Amgen has stated repeatedly that it is committed to raising the dividend. CFO Jonathan Peacock reiterated this on the call, saying:
Amgen's Board of Directors, again as Kevin [CEO Kevin Sharer] mentioned earlier, has authorized an increase for the company's stock repurchase program to a total amount of $10 billion. We intend to use this to accelerate our share repurchase program, reflecting our confidence in the outlook and the long-term value of the company and the attractive interest rate environment. The capital plan we communicated in April left us with a significant and increasing net cash position. We now believe we can maintain the flexibility that we need to grow our business...while also improving the returns to our shareholders by accelerating our stock repurchase plans. This means that we plan to return more than 60% of our net income to shareholders, on average, over the next few years. Within this, we maintain our plan to increase the dividend meaningfully over time, and we'll also maintain a solid investment grade rating.
Though Amgen has nearly $14 billion of debt, it has good investment grade ratings. Its cash position and 4.6% annual increase in cash flows mean stockholders and bondholders can rest easy. Amgen raises guidance quarter after quarter, accelerates share buybacks, and has pledged to boost the dividend. Yet the stock does not budge. We think that the malaise in the stock will end as investors see steadily increasing revenues, EPS, a lowered share count, and a fantastic pipeline. Amgen shares, at a P/E of about 12 and a forward P/E of 10.5, are too cheap. Analysts agree. S&P sees the stock reaching $68, BMO sees it at $67, and Citi sees it reaching $65. Though the Reuters average target stands at $64.40, we feel this is too low, given all the catalysts Amgen has. As more data comes out on the pipeline and revenue growth accelerates, that average will drift up. Amgen is innovating at a rapid pace, and is poised for continued success in the years to come. And we think that investors who invest at these levels will be just as successful.

Josh BookbinderAssistant Coach - Linebackers
College: Baylor ('09)
Start Date: 1/5/12
Email: email@example.com
Since joining Liberty's football staff in 2012, Josh Bookbinder has served in multiple roles, including his current position on the coaching staff as Liberty's linebackers coach.
During his first season at Liberty, Bookbinder served as the football program's defensive quality control staff member.
Shortly after the 2012 season, head coach Turner Gill promoted Bookbinder to special teams coordinator before Gill shifted him to the Flames outside linebackers coach in February 2013.
Bookbinder worked alongside Flames' defensive coordinator Robert Wimberly with Liberty's linebackers in 2013, before Gill gave Bookbinder the full reins to the position in the spring of 2014.
During his first year as a member of the Flames' coaching staff, Bookbinder helped the Flames rank No. 5 in scoring defense (17.6 points allowed per game), No. 9 in the country in total defense (313.9 yards allowed per game) and No. 16 in passing yards allowed per game (178.6).
The 2013 season saw the Flames finish the year ranked No. 3 in the country in turnover margin (1.3) and No. 5 in passes intercepted (19).
Linebacker Nick Sigmon earned his third-straight all-conference honor in 2013 and second-consecutive first-team All-Big South selection. He finished the year tied for the team lead with 62 tackles (30 solo, 32 assisted) and led the team with 10.5 tackles for a loss.
Scott Hyland followed Sigmon on the All-Big South team, earning second-team honors to cap off his stellar four-year career. Roaming the middle of Liberty's defensive unit, Hyland started 34-consecutive games and finished as Liberty's active career tackles leaders (175 stops).
During his two seasons on staff, Bookbinder has helped the Flames win back-to-back shared Big South titles. Liberty also knocked off a pair of top 25 opponents (No. 6 Stony Brook in 2012 and No. 16 Charleston Southern in 2013), marking the third time in program history Liberty has defeated ranked teams in consecutive seasons.
Bookbinder came to Liberty after spending the two seasons at Carson-Newman. In 2009, Bookbinder served as the Eagles' linebackers coach before being promoted to special teams coordinator and defensive ends assistant coach for the 2010 season. He also served assistant recruiting coordinator during his time at Carson-Newman.
While at Carson-Newman, Bookbinder had the opportunity to work under NCAA Division II Football Hall of Fame coach Ken Sparks. During Sparks' three-decade tenure at Carson-Newman, the Eagles have won five national championships, 21 South Atlantic Conference titles and produced more than 100 Division II All-Americans.
In 2009, Bookbinder served as defensive quality control at Richmond, working directly under Spiders defensive coordinator Vic Shealy. He helped the Spiders finish the 2009 season with an 11-2 record, a Colonial Athletic Association title and a run to the quarterfinals of the FCS Playoffs.
Bookbinder worked as an undergraduate coach with his alma mater during the 2007 and 2008 seasons at Baylor, working specifically with the Bears' linebackers.
Bookbinder graduated from Baylor in 2009 with a bachelor of arts degree in sports, sponsorships and sales.
In March 2014, Bookbinder married the former Ashley Teer, an alum of Liberty's track & field program (2007-09). The mid-distance runner was a part of Liberty's team that won the 2007 Big South Women's Outdoor Championship.

We sure spend a lot of time on good ole Facebook. There's always something to "Like" or comment on. There's always someone's dinner to admire. There's always a political argument to be had. However, for whatever reason, we don't spend a lot of time eating Facebook-branded flavors of ice cream. Don't worry; we can start now.
A Croatian ice cream shop called Admir Adili and Ibi Adili's has recently unveiled their Facebook-flavored ice cream which, contrary to popular belief, does not taste like Zuckerberg's armpits or some guy you went to middle school with. Word on the street is that it tastes like candy. Something sweet and addictive with no actual health benefits? Yeah. That's sound about right for Facebook.
The flavor has proven to be quite a big hit with customers, so here is hoping they roll out varieties based on other hit websites. I call dibs on eBay.

Saab To Let Customers Watch Their Cars Get Built Via Webcam
Saab is planning on letting buyers watch their cars get assembled at their Swedish plant via a webcam link, as the company seeks to move back to a more personalized buying process.
Buyers will be encouraged to have their cars custom built, rather than picking from the dealer's existing inventory. Buyers will be alerted to significant moments of the assembly process, and can then watch footage of the car's build. Customers will also be able to collect their car from the company's factory in Trollhattan, Sweden.
Under Saab's previous ownership, General Motors sought to move to a more volume based model of production that many felt watered down the legacy of the company.

"Diodo" is a portuguese word that stands for diode. A diode is a two-terminal electronic component with an asymmetric transfer characteristic. It has high (tending to infinite) resistance to the current flow in one direction, and low (tending to zero) resistance in the other. The most common type of diode today is the LED (light emitting diode).
DIODO.ORG is a project dedicated to collect data, info and knowledge on STS. STS stands for Science, Technology and Society and it's a field of studies comprising research in the areas of Sociology, Anthropology, Geography, and other Social Sciences. First of all, we are interested in how people use technologies and the web.
Diodo 1.0.
Diodo started in Lisbon – back in 2008 – as a collective of electronics' buffs, technologists, researchers and social scientists, artists, and designers interested in technology and hacking. Along with altlab, diodo was the first hackerspace/hacklab in portugal. Its' activities were connected mainly with workshops on creative electronics. Diodo – as an organisation - disbanded a couple of years later.
Diodo 2.0.
Nowadays, Diodo is a project dedicated to sts studies.

48 Social Media KPIs You Need to Know (Key Performance Indicators)
There are a lot of things you can measure about you social media efforts. I have compiled a list of 48 social media KPIs (key performance indicators) that you can consider for you specific activities. One thing to remember is that you should set at least some social media metrics that indicate if you are turning profit. Otherwise, you can reach your KPIs and still loose money.
Now, before you begin be sure to set the baseline. Look at the set of your chosen social media KPIs and record the current value. These numbers are important, but the rate of change is the main indicator for most of these social media metrics. For example, it's fantastic if you get 1000 followers in a day but not so if you get them over the year.
Concentrate on the rate of change of your chosen key performance indicators. Change can also be expressed as a frequency of events. For example, you could measure how many comments you get on Facebook per day, week or month.
You can combine several KPIs into one that is more meaningful for you. Ratios, such as comments per blog post, retweets per followers, help you measure audience activity and engagement.

Take a look at the social media marketing course
Distribution potential
What social media channels are you using, how can people reach you, are you visible? These social media KPIs should tell you if you are getting the word out. Is the reach wide enough to justify your budget?
- Followers
- Fans
- Number of mentions
- Reach
- Social bookmarks (SumbleUpon, Delicious)
- Inbound links
- Blog subscribers
Interaction with fans and influencers
How likely are followers going to engage, spread your message and interact with eachother? Social media interaction KPIs are the ones you need to pay close attention to. These statistics measure people who have actually taken action.
- Retweets
- Forward to a friend
- Social media sharing
- Comments
- Like or rate something
- Reviews
- Contributors and active contributors
- Pageviews
- Unique visitors
- Traffic from social networking sites
- Time spent on site
- Response time
One of the important social media metrics you can derive from the first two groups of KPIs is the reach vs interaction conversion rate.
Interactions / Reach * 100% = Conversion rate
This will give you a better understanding of the value of different channels and the effectiveness of your own marketing activities.
How do attitudes change due to the social media activities? This is the branding value that should convert into sales. Metrics like net promoter score, satisfaction and sentiment will help you understand the more qualitative nature of your reach. They will show you if you have tons of complaints or people are ecstatic about your brand.
- Share of conversation vs competitors
- Net Promoter Score
- Satisfaction
- Sentiment positive, neutral or negative
- Number of brand evangelists
Action, Results, and ROI
How many sales and other real world result do you get from social media? These are some of the most important social media KPIs and some of the hardest to measure. Your social media marketing has to generate positive ROI. Your main goal would be to find ways to connect reach in social media to dollars in sales.
- Conversions (email subscriptions, downloads, install widget or tool, etc)
- Sales revenue
- Registered users
- Issues resolved and resolution rate
- Number of leads (per day, week, month)
- Cost of lead
- Lead conversion rate
- Cost of sale
- Revenue (per follower, lead, customer)
- Lifetime value of customers
- Support cost (per customer in social channels)
- Share of repeat customers (from social media vs other channels)
- Transaction value per customer
- Money in the bank, net profit, etc
Internal social media KPIs
The raw output of your social media team. It is important to measure if increases in your input produce similar or better increase in the other KPIs. And, of course, your boss probably wants to know how much are you spending
- Blog posts
- E-books
- Presentations
- Videos
- Facebook updates
- Tweets
- Forum posts
- Social media marketing budget
- Social media staff payroll
- Social media development costs
You can get most out of these social media metrics if you benchmark them against you competition. Whenever possible try to find out the competitor's numbers and you get a better insight of your performance.
If you have 3,141 followers on Twitter the the number is meaningless, but in context of your competitor having 2,718 you may get some insights.
Let us know in the comments what are your most important social media metrics.

.45-70 and Unique, how hot can I load it?
Does anyone have or know where I can find load data for .45-70 and Unique powder using a 300gr bullet? I just want to know how far one can go with it. I've been searching for the last hour or so and have found a few bits here and there that suggest ~18-20gr of Unique under a 300gr bullet should give maybe 1800fps or so and maybe 30k PSI, but I'd like something a little more concrete than that.
unique is a fast buning pistol powder and its exceedingly dangerous to use in long barreled rifles. the loads your finding are for pistols like the tc contender and other such very short barreled firearms.
using those loads in a rifle barrel will increase the pressure substantially and lead to a kaboom killing or injuring you and nearby folks.
dont do it.
I know the Lyman books list these types of loads, but I don't have any of them and was just looking for some rough information before I got into it. Longer barrels don't increase pressure, as peak pressure occurs in the first couple inches of bullet travel. In any case, I know it is actually pretty common for people to shoot these types of reduced loads in .45-70 rifles, sometimes just for reduced-recoil plinking and at other times to replicate original black powder specs. However, they usually don't push the loads that fast, and most people seem to use much heavier bullets. But I've found loads showing, off the top of my head, something like 16gr of powder giving maybe 1400fps with a 400gr bullet, with a peak pressure of 26k PSI. BTW, technically Unique was originally marketed as a reduced-load rifle powder.
I only ask because I've been considering getting a lever action and was just curious how versatile it could be using Unique as the primary powder. The ability to push a 300gr bullet to maybe 1800fps would match a lot of factory loads and would be a good moderate load for potential defense or bench shooting, but the reduction in powder would save about $5 per 50 rounds. Of course, if I really wanted to hotrod I would naturally use more traditional powders, but Im just curious how far one can go with Unique.
thats not true of pistol powders. they are very fast burning design to peak rapidly and drop the pressure when the bullet leaves the barrel. 20grains is a LOT of powder for unique in a very large case. you have a much longer sustained pressure curve that starts rapidly and stays there. 45-70 cases arent all that strong and the case is normally the fail point.
you can do what ya want, just be sure your using an inert case filler to take up some of the empty space.
i personally dont see the point of doing something risky like that.
but you got my opinion. maybe someone else has a different one.
This is nout of the LYMAN MANUAL 45/70 for win 1886&marlin 300 gr.bullet dosent list that powder but list mine! varget 57.0grains what other powder you have?
At the moment I only use Unique but was thinking about picking up an 1895 in .45-70 and was just wondering what could be done with it. Most of my research says fillers arent necessary or recommended with Unique.
But, for example, this site has lots of load data and is showing 14gr of Unique under a 405gr bullet for about 1170fps, which might translate to about 1300fps or so with a 300gr bullet.
45-70 Government Powder Weight /Velocity Data for the 405gr FPbb
Here is a thread with a lot of good information about reduced loads.
UNIQUE powder for 45-70 target loads?
I have been reloading for 30+ years. The only time I have done something disasterous was using Unique for reduced loads in .223. I blew up a Mini-14. It is very easy to double charge with Unique or any other pistol powder in a large capacity case like the 45-70.
I understand the allure of limiting the inventory of powders, but there are limits. The fastest powder I would consider in the 45-70 is IMR-4227. It fills over 1/2 of the case capacity (in all reasonable loads) so is pretty much impossible to double charge.
I only keep 5 powders on hand and I load almost everything from .32 ACP to .454 Casull and .223 to 45-70.
These are all the powders for the 45/70 with the 300 grain bullet.
imr 4064
h 4895
h 322
imr 3031 xmr 2015
n 130
imr 4198
xmp 5744
so THINK BEFORE YOU ACT!
I always do...
It's not like I'm pulling this idea out of thin air, heh.
And Robo, that is definitely true and is a very valid concern with any reduced load!
The Lyman Cast Bullet handbook has several loads using Unique powder. It shows loads for all 3 actions too...1873 Springfield, the lever guns and the Ruger #1. If you are interested I will scan them and post them. ;)

"The Arroyo Literary Review," launched by English graduate students in 2008, is among a handful of academic journals that provide publishing experience to CSUEB students.
CSUEB students write, edit, and publish academic journals
- December 15, 2010 5:17am
Cal State East Bay is home to several student-run academic journals, including Arroyo, showcasing new and established writers from across the country, East Bay Politica, a student-written journal that focuses on subjects from international to local politics, and Reflections, a journal highlighting CSUEB students' philosophical works.
"The work students perform in producing an academic journal — from soliciting contributions to editing the final product — gives them experience akin to a traditional internship," says Susan Gubernat, associate professor of English and faculty advisor for Arroyo. "Students are now getting pre-professional experience by working on a journal in all its aspects: editing, designing, producing, marketing, and distribution."
That's also the case for students who work on East Bay Politica, a journal that allows students not only to write for a publication but gain firsthand experience with the publishing process.
The idea for East Bay Politica came from associate professor Melissa Michelson after she read an article about a similar journal at California State University, Chico and the benefits it provided students.
"I thought we could do that here," says Michelson, whose previous experience in journalism proved to be handy in getting the journal started. The journal, which debuted in 2007, has grown to become popular with political science majors.
Faculty advisor Jennifer Eagan has overseen the electronic version of Reflections since she joined the University in 2004.
"The objective is to promote all the good work students are doing in philosophy," says Eagan, associate professor and department chair of philosophy. "(Faculty) have a drive to really highlight our students' work."

Too often these days we seem driven to produce, forgetting the purpose and value of research and development. R&D allows us to assess alternatives, identify and mitigate risks, and develop practicable plans to achieve results. It promotes an iterative process that moves us steadily towards our goals. It understands both of the 80/20 rules: First, that achieving 80% of the solution usually takes only 20% of allocated resources, and second, that for any normal program, things will go wrong 20% of the time, so plan accordingly.
The fact is that we simply do not do enough real research and development. We have forgotten that the development of products or systems or solutions does not proceed on a single path point-to-point. It is a continuum that has many ideas going in, a reasonable number that survive intermediate vetting processes, and a manageable field of candidate solutions coming out, from which to pick "the best" alternative.
We are not comfortable planning for sufficient small failures to ensure that we will not end up with one big one. We limit the potential value of our successes by not supporting wild and crazy ideas — even though such ideas may hold the key to real and sustained improvements. We are too risk adverse. We are too "results – NOW!" oriented. We are afraid of failures – even small ones. We are scared to dream.
"We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win…"
—John F. Kennedy
Sadly, we have lost what made us great in the past: our willingness to take risks, fight for ideals, vigorously debate technical and operational alternatives, and move forward as one — either towards a celebration of a successful conclusion or, if nothing else, a celebration of a significant learning experience from which we can dust ourselves off and do better next time. We have abandoned our can-do attitude for lists of excuses of why we cannot. We over-think and over analyze and over-control everything — at every level. Most seriously of all, we have given up seeing ourselves as one team with one goal. Everyone's looking out for themselves — with more time spent looking back in fear than forging new pathways forward.
The question is not "Where have all the leaders gone?" but rather "As leaders, what can each of us do to re-build and re-energize our risk taking leadership structure, our can-do team culture, our engineering inquisitiveness, our research and development mentality?
As with all things, the solution starts with the true recognition of the problem.
Therapy, anyone?
Sleep was what I wanted, you know what I got. Wide awake, staying up late, wishing I was not.

A senior army officer revealed today that he alerted military commanders and the Red Cross to Iraqi prisoners being hooded and forced to kneel in the sun.
The officer, who can be identified only as S009, was commanding officer of the Queen's Dragoon Guards at the time of the March 2003 invasion of Iraq. He had the task of running an internment facility in Umm Qasr, southern Iraq.
He alerted the authorities, he said, because he found the prisoners' treatment unlawful and "morally objectionable".
He said in evidence to the Baha Mousa inquiry that just days after the invasion he saw up to 20 prisoners under guard kneeling on the ground in the sun, hooded with plastic sandbags and with their hands cuffed behind them.
"I made it clear that it was unacceptable to place plastic hoods upon the prisoners and leave them kneeling in the sun because it was not in keeping with UK law and was morally objectionable," he said. "I also pointed out that it would reflect badly on British troops."
He said he had warned his superiors before the invasion that he had not been given enough resources to run the prisoner-of-war facility properly.
"A lack of manpower runs the risk that prisoners could either harm themselves or cause riots and harm the detaining forces, all of which would have played into the public perception and the global audience."
The officer, a colonel, said an order came down that hooding of detainees was to stop. The inquiry into the death of Mousa, who died in the custody of British soldiers in Basra in September 2003, seven months after the invasion, has shown that the order was ignored.
• A soldier from 4th Battalion The Rifles was shot dead today while on patrol near Sangin in Helmand province, southern Afghanistan, the MoD said.
An airman from the RAF Regiment died on Wednesday night as a result of injuries suffered in a blast north of Kandahar airfield. The deaths take the number of British service personnel killed in the conflict to 265.

With two out in the second inning, David Wright gets a broken bat single and starts a rally that would see the National League score three runs, taking the lead over the American League. Wright also scored the NL's first run of the game.
In the bottom of the fourth inning, Wright strikes out on a wicked slider from Zack Greinke. That'll probably be it for Wright in this game. Yup, Wright's out and Washington Nationals third baseman and Wright's friend Ryan Zimmerman takes over.
Francisco Rodriguez is in the game in the top of the ninth to try to keep it a one-run game. He gets the first out on a ground ball. K-Rod strikes out Carl Crawford. Justin Morneau flies out to Jayson Werth on a catch near the wall. K-Rod retires the side in order.
Game over. The American League wins its 13th straight All-Star Game, 4-3. Once again, Mariano Rivera closes it out. The Mets management had asked that Johan Santana not pitch in the game, and they got their wish. It would've been nice to have seen him in the game, if not for one batter. Perhaps if he was in the game instead of game loser Heath Bell, the National League would've had a better chance. Now we'll never know.
What did you think of the All-Star game?

Cheesy Broccoli and Bacon Bake
Surprise it's still COLD. Good thing "Ada" my KitchenAid Range is such a workhorse. She's been getting a massive workout EVERY.SINGLE.DAY. Especially the oven portion. Besides massive amount of chocolate chip cookies there have been a plethora of pasta bakes. I'm a fan of the pasta bake, aka casserole or cheesy carb-y goodness. You pick. What's not to love about melted cheese and warm pasta? If you're not a fan, I'm not sure we could be friends. Okay well maybe if you brought me wine and let me eat your bowl of pasta, that might work. Maybe. Chocolate would be good also. Just a thought.
Back to the pasta. This from scratch pasta bake comes together quickly and is bursting at the seams with fresh crunchy broccoli (not so much that you'll chip a tooth, just enough so you know you're eating veg) that's been bathed in a creamy sauce that's been sprinkled with panko and bacon. Want a fork? My editors over at Parade Magazine did. Why, yes I can finally share with you all loverlies that I'm a new contributing writer for PARADE MAGAZINE . com. Pretty cool eh?

ACM Launches New Version of Digital Library for Computing Professionals
New Features Provide Efficient Access, Increased Interactivity, and Enriched Content
The Association for Computing Machinery
Advancing Computing as a Science & Profession
Contact: Virginia Gold
Printable Word File
NEW YORK – January 11, 2011 - ACM has released a new version of the ACM Digital Library http://dl.acm.org, making it the most comprehensive database of computing literature in the world. Building on the breadth and depth of this renowned repository of digital knowledge, the new site simplifies usability, extends connections, and expands content with a wide range of new tools and features. More than 1.5 million users have access to ACM's Digital Library, a readership representing individuals and institutions from over 190 countries worldwide who download some 13-15 million full text resources annually.
"The ACM Digital Library's newly integrated features, functionality, and content constitute a critical resource for computing professionals who drive innovation in the digital age," said Wayne Graves, ACM Director of Information Systems. "This rich collection of knowledge offers a window on the digital world, with access to ideas and innovations—great and small—that fostered and formed the information age since its birth more than 60 years ago."
New features in the DL enable users to browse efficiently by author, publication type, ACM Special Interest Group (SIG), and conference venue. They include:
- Reorganized author profile pages that present a snapshot of author contributions and metrics of author influence by monitoring publication and citation counts and download usage volume
- Broadened citation pages for individual articles with tabs for metadata and links to facilitate exploration and discovery of the depth of content in the DL
- Enhanced interactivity tools such as RSS feeds, bibliographic exports, and social network channels to retrieve data, promote user engagement, and introduce user content
- Redesigned binders for creating personal, annotatable collections of bibliographies or reading lists, and sharing them with ACM and non-ACM members, or exporting them into standard authoring tools like self-generated virtual PDF publications
- Expanded table-of-contents opt-in service for all publications in the DL—from ACM and other publishers—that alerts users via email and RSS feeds to new issues of journals, magazines, newsletters, and proceedings.
The new DL also integrates extensive visualization technology that captures details of the more than 150 international conferences and symposia associated with ACM. Among these advances are multidimensional geographic maps that display the expanding global nature of ACM events. The redesigned format also lists conferences alphabetically and chronologically, and links to access the published proceedings of each event as well as authors, acceptance rates, and downloads of presented papers, tables of content, abstracts, source material, and a history of the conference.
The site invites comments from readers and browsers to strengthen ties within the computing community. In-depth information about ACM Special Interest Groups and related conferences is also accessible through the new DL. In addition, DL content has been expanded to include citations for hundreds of information technology books from the best authors and publishers available. The full text for many of these books is freely available to ACM members as part of the ACM Learning Center http://learning.acm.org/ .
About the ACM Digital Library
The ACM Digital Library contains comprehensive full-text resources from ACM's vast collection of its own published journals, conference proceedings, magazines, and newsletters, and detailed bibliographic resources from other publishers, including data for every author and article in its archive. It houses ACM publications dating from the 1950s as well as coverage of other publishers starting in the mid-1980s. The DL captures more than three million pages in a visually enhanced format that makes this information conveniently accessible and easily searchable. The DL's new features and structure facilitate information dissemination and sharing, interoperability, user-centered design, and collaboration for computing professionals, practitioners, researchers, and educators on a global scale.

San Francisco (AFP) Feb 20, 2013
Famed founders of Internet rivals Google and Facebook joined forces on Wednesday to back big-money prizes for research aimed at extending human life.
Sergey Brin and Mark Zuckerberg, along with their spouses, joined Russian venture capitalist Yuri Milner to award 11 scientists $3 million each to launch the Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences.
"Priscilla and I are honored to be part of this," Zuckerberg said.
"We believe the Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences has the potential to provide a platform for other models of philanthropy, so people everywhere have an opportunity at a better future."
Art Levinson, who chairs boards at mobile device powerhouse Apple and biotechnology star Genentech, will head the non-profit foundation created to support breakthrough research.
Levinson said he believes the prize will spotlight outstanding minds in medicine and hopes it will help enhance medical innovation.
Zuckerberg, Milner, and Brin's wife Anne Wojcicki will be on the foundation's board of directors. They have agreed that going forward, five annual Breakthrough prizes of $3 million each will be awarded.
"We are thrilled to support scientists who think big, take risks and have made a significant impact on our lives," said Wojcicki, co-founder of startup 23andMe, which provides personal DNA testing services.
"These scientists should be household names and heroes in society."
Brin remarked that "curing a disease should be worth more than a touchdown" in an apparent reference to riches heaped on professional athletes such as those who play US football.
This year's Breakthrough Prize winners, many of whom targeted cancer in their research, agreed to serve on a committee to select future honorees.
"Solving the enormous complexity of human diseases calls for a much bigger effort compared to fundamental physics and therefore requires multiple sponsors to reward outstanding achievements," Milner said of the Silicon Valley heavyweights teaming up to back the award.
