This week, North Korea's young leader, Kim Jong-un, ordered his underlings to prepare for a missile attack on the United States. He appeared at a command centre in front of a wall map with the bold, unlikely title, Plans to Attack the Mainland US. Earlier in the month, his generals boasted of developing a Korean-style nuclear warhead that could be fitted atop a long-range missile.
But the missile systems that figure in Kim's blitz of threats and orders do not yet have the range to approach US shores. There is no evidence his nuclear weapons can be shrunk to fit atop a missile. And a prominent photograph showing Kim's military making a Normandy-style beach landing appears to have been manufactured, raising questions about whether his forces could possibly repeat the feat his grandfather pulled off in 1950, ordering a ground attack to open the Korean War.
On top of all that, most countries on the verge of a major military assault do not broadcast their battle plans to the world.
"You would expect such a military order to be issued in secret," said Kim Min-seok, spokesman of the South Korean Defense Ministry. "We believe that by revealing it to the media and publicising it to the world, North Korea is playing psychology."
In fact, it is the abilities that Kim is not showing off that have the Obama administration most worried. The cyber attacks on South Korea's banking system and television broadcasters two weeks ago were surprisingly successful, as was the torpedo attack three years ago this week on the Cheonan, a naval corvette, that killed 46 South Korean sailors. The North has never acknowledged involvement in either though the South believes it was responsible for both and so do US experts.
"We're convinced this is about Kim solidifying his place with his own people and his own military, who still don't know him," one senior administration official said Friday. He added: "We're worried about what he's going to do next, but we're not worried about what he seems to be threatening to do next."
The cyber attacks and torpedo attack have something in common: Unlike the missile attacks and beach landings that Kim seems to be suggesting are imminent, they are hard to trace to North Korea, at least immediately. As a result, they are hard to retaliate against, and in fact the South never struck back militarily for the sinking of the Cheonan, even after a commission of inquiry, with experts from outside South Korea, concluded it was the work of a submarine-launched torpedo.
To North Korea experts in Washington and Seoul, there is something familiar in the country's threats to keep the White House in the cross hairs of their long-range missiles. Such threat of armed brinkmanship – the catch phrase in the 1990s was that Seoul would become a sea of fire, a term recently revived by North Korea's news agencies – has in the past drawn its adversaries to the bargaining table with economic concessions. But at the same time, the tensions with the outside world provide the government with opportunities to elevate its leaders status among his people – which might be more important to a young, untested leader than it was to his father and grandfather.
According to the view that North Korea's propaganda machine pounds into its citizens' minds, the North is a tiny nation besieged by hostile outside forces, one that survived despite decades of sanctions and can finally stand up to both its US foe and its longtime Chinese ally – all thanks to the strong military-first leadership of the Kim family and the country's nuclear arsenal.
In such a setting, Kim's trip to a border island on a wooden boat – it almost seemed designed to create a Washington crossing the Delaware motif – is proof of his daring and pluck, as the country' main party newspaper Rodong explained. Rodong also declared about North Korea's nuclear weapons: "Let the American imperialists and their followers know! We are not a pushover like Iraq or Libya." The first, famously, had no nuclear weapons; the second gave up its nascent nuclear program in late 2003, a move North Korea describes as Moammar Gadhafi's greatest mistake.
"In the propaganda world the three generations of the Kim dynasty has created, Kim is a great iron-willed general admired by all of his people, including real generals who have actually served in the military," said Lee Sung-yoon, North Korea specialist at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. "For the Kim III, fantasy is reality."
Keeping the fantasy up has required a lot of work in the past month, with many visits to military units on both of the countrys coasts, and a lot of conferences at midnight with generals.
Yet in each of these scenes, North Korea's propagandists sometimes made Kim look as much a clumsy actor as a new leader of one of the worlds most belligerent governments.
For one, North Korean state-run media on March 12 released a photo showing Kim arriving at an island within the gun range of South Korean marines and quoted him as threatening to cut the windpipes of the enemies. But it strained credibility that he travelled to a region he called a powder keg on a small unarmed wooden boat, as shown in the photo.
On Tuesday, North Korea released a photo showing Kim watching hovercrafts storm a snow-covered beach in eastern North Korea. But it did not take long for journalists and analysts to conclude that the picture was clumsily doctored to add more amphibious landing vehicles and make the drill look far more imposing than it really was.
Then on Friday, photos released by the North's state media, which also showed signs of digital manipulation, featured Kim huddling with his top generals during a midnight meeting to approve plans to strike the mainland US. A military chart behind them showed a series of lines shooting out of North Korea and hitting major cities in the United States, including those on the East Coast. Even if the North Koreans had such missiles – most analysts doubt it – would they really intend to launch them at the United States in what would be a suicidal action for the Pyongyang government?
"We're all trying to put him on the couch," said Jonathan D. Pollack, a North Korea expert at the Brookings Institution. "A year ago the US and the Chinese saw at least the possibility that you could do business with him. But he has steadily reverted to form, adopting the approach of his father and grandfather in using the perception of an external threat to solidify support at home."
On Saturday those threats were South Korea and the Americans and their puppets, a statement from the North said. The two Koreas were back to a state of war, it said, and the North's foes should know that everything is different under our peerless general and dear Marshal Kim Jong Un.
While many fear that Kim's rhetoric is building up toward some action, Pollack held out the hope that the threats could abate as United States and South Korean military exercises, which infuriate the North, wind up at the end of April.

Examples of Common Business Interests
The following activities tend to illustrate a common business interest:
- Promoting higher business standards and better business methods and encouraging uniformity and cooperation by a retail merchants association,
- Educating the public in the use of credit,
- Establishing uniform casualty rates and compiling statistical information by an insurance rating bureau operated by casualty insurance companies under state authority,
- Establishing and maintaining the integrity of a local commercial market,
- Operating a trade publication primarily to benefit an entire industry,
- Encouraging the use of goods and services of an entire industry (such as a lawyer referral service whose main purpose is to introduce individuals to the use of the legal profession in the hope that they will enter into lawyer-client relationships on a paying basis), and
- Attempting to influence legislation germane to the common business interests of an organization's members.
On the other hand, a hobby is not a business; thus, an organization that promotes the common interests of hobbyists does not qualify for exemption as a business league.

Premium carries over as does call of duty season pass. They mentioned you other stats etc carry over as well. My guess would be yes for all, but the premium content does for sure, see playstation store details.

Sounds good to me; _test_mount() should probably do the same? I guess it'd be worth investigating exactly why it failed, though. Still, if you'd like to send a patch to _fail in the mount helpers if they fail, that sounds reasonable to me.

Francisco Liriano appeared to seal final spot in the Twins' rotation with his outing Tuesday, striking out eight in six shutout innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Liriano also walked three, and, according to the Associated Press and Minneapolis Star-Tribune, said later he'd been told he will be the Twins' fifth starter. He also had been considered a possible replacement for injured closer Joe Nathan.
According to the Associated Press, Liriano says he will pitch in a minor league game on Sunday and make his first start at the Chicago White Sox April 9. He has struck out 30 in 20 innings this spring.
The Twins weren't ready to make an official announcement, though other teams were regarding positional battles.
"I didn't tell him he will be the fifth starter. But I told him he is the leading candidate to be the fifth starter," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "We haven't named it per se. Maybe he named it, because he probably could. He probably took a big lead right there."
Other key positional battles were conclusively settled Monday:

I believe I know that man. He is waiting for a bus because he cannot afford to own a car.
Another tragic consequence of a Bush economy.

Actually, he is a public transit engineer trying to discover how easy it is to get around the Peninsula on public transit. He will soon discover that for each journey he will have to buy a separate ticket, he waits at a bus stop and has no idea how long the wait will be or if the bus actually runs today and when he reaches his destination he may not be able to find the bus stop for his return journey. If he is lucky, he may end up at a Caltrain station and then he will discover that he has to buy another ticket and if he is on his way to SFO, he will have to buy another ticket on BART.
Good luck, hope you get there. Glad it is your job to do this research for us because we have better things to do than to try and get to SFO by bus in time to catch our planes.

Every year thousands of dog owners have the same age old problem, how to arrange for someone to look after their dog whilst they go on holiday. It can be tricky – looking after someone else's dog is a huge responsibility and even best friends and relatives can be reluctant to offer. Spaces at kennels can get booked up quickly and even if you can find somewhere, will you be able to really enjoy your holiday with a key member of the family missing? The solution is to bring your beloved family pet on holiday with you, to a pet friendly cottage from Sykes Cottages!

At the end of a busy day, the loyal family dog can enjoy stretching out at your feet in your cosy holiday cottage and on a cold night, in front of a roaring log fire.
Many of our holiday cottages will allow one or two dogs and some will allow three or more dogs so you and all your four legged friends can have a fabulous holiday together.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
Forum Moderators: incrediBILL & martinibuster
It's just my 3rd month in the Adsense program and I think it would be very useful to start a discussion for the revenue rate of Weekend vs. Business Days .
I suggest that you report the following:
1. the topic of your website (e.g. music, technology, dating etc.)
2. the rate of the average daily Weekend revenues vs. that of Business days (W/B).
3. the rate of the average daily per-click revenue for W/B.
Here are my data:
Topic: technology
Revenues W/B rate: 56% (This means that if I earn $100 on average for every business day, I earn $56 daily on average for Saturday and Sunday.)
Per-Click Revenues W/B rate: 107% (This means that if I earn 100 cents on average per click for every business day, I earn 107 cents on average for every click on Saturday and Sunday.)
PS. Please let me know if you think that this discussion violates any of the Google Adsense TOS. Many Thanks.
[edited by: aris1970 at 12:18 am (utc) on Mar. 10, 2004]
I have always found it interesting that my traffic is slower on the weekends and the AdSense results pretty much reflect this. I'd say it's about 1/3 less on the weekends.
I'm curious if slower weekends are pretty typical for everyone or does it depend on the topic and type of the site? My topic is women and quilting history so I always thought my weekends were slow because women are so much busier then.
Annej: In fact I think that the main W/B differentiation factor is whether a website focuses on B2B or B2C (Business to Business or Consumer).
Mine focuses on B2B so professionals have less possibility to search information during weekends.
Danny: could you plz explain the reasons that this discussion can help anyone that attempts click-fraud? I think that if somebody is determined to have click-fraud, he will find the necessary feedback or proceed anyway. BTW I have no intention to use click-fraud as I would never risk my Adsense revenues long-term just for some extra dollars.
But the first thing anyone would need in order to create a pattern of impressions and clicks that's indistinguishable from "natural" is to obtain figures on just what is "natural". And those aren't obtainable from anyone except Google and (to some extent) AdSense publishers.
I'm certain that this is the reason for the ban on sharing information about AdSense performance.
1) During Monday to Friday lots of people are sat in front of internet enabled computers in a place where they:
a) Don't really want to be at all
b) Don't mind being but get a bit fed up sometimes
c) Enjoy being, but the internet is also a welcome distraction
In all three cases the most accessible forms of procrastination are talking to your colleagues, which can be observed, talking on the phone which can be observed and browsing the internet which cannot be distinguished from work unless your superior is standing over you.
2) During weekends people are usually free to live their own lives outside the limits imposed by capitalist shackles. Though some... err... (dare I use the word 'morons'?) then go and spend the money they earn on produce from the same companies which keep propagating the system.
Rant over.
I'll go and wave my red flag somewhere else now.
That means you remove the bias of any particular weekday
I think you will find the day of the week bias is dependant on the sort of web sites you have, some do better at the weekends, some subjects do worse

There are some exceptions. Sometimes a weekend day is very high in clicks or in cost per click. I think this is usually because an advertiser starts a campaign on a Friday afternoon.
It all depends upon the site and who is looking at it.

Easy-to-handle weeping golden bell and roses are arranged in a round suiban (shallow container).
Petrified willow and dahlia are used with striking effect in this upright style (nageire) floral arrangement.
Each kind of lily has its own attitude. Some flower heads face upright
such as the elegant lily; some face downward like the showy lily, and some face forward like the oriental hybrid lily.
Always check the direction when arranging.
The most commonly used container for nageire
is the cylindrical vase, a tall container with a mouth that is not very wide and sides that are nearly vertical.
The natural curve
of the spirea is emphasized with sweet pink marguerite mums in the example above.

Turn Any Wall Switch Into an Insteon Remote Controllable Switch
Micro On/Off Module keeps your existing antique, toggle or decorative wall switches while adding the customizable, dimmable remote control
functionality of an On/Off Wall Switch.
Discreet Installation
Micro Modules keeps your antique, toggle or decorative wall switches by installing behind your existing switch. Due to its hidden nature, we highly recommend Insteon app with Insteon Hub to manage Micro On/Off.
Remote Control
Sometimes the couch is just too comfy and that wall switch is just too far away. Grab your smartphone and brighten and dim your switch to your heart's content.
Automatically turn your porch lights on at dusk. Wake up to a gentle pseudo-sunrise at 7AM. You can schedule individual wall switches or full groups of switches for particular hours and days of the week.
With the Insteon Hub, scenes really take on a new level. Program one switch to turn off all of the downstairs lights. Configure another to turn on Movie Mode. And because you can schedule scenes, you can give your home that "lived in" look even when you're away.
Remote control with Insteon sensors.
Your Insteon Micro Modules can do so much more when given access to the family of Insteon sensors. With a few taps of the set button or a moment's time with your smartphone, you can configure sensors throughout your home to automatically turn on (or off) the lights based on a variety of different actions.
There are some rooms in your home that, no matter what time of day, you always end up turning on the lights: Pantries, closets, hallways, etc. With an Insteon Micro Module and an Open/Close Sensor (or Hidden Door Sensor), you will never need to turn the light on again. And better yet, you'll never need to remember to turn it off.
Motion & Occupancy
Do you play whack-a-mole all day, turning off the lights in rooms that your significant other - or children - have habitually left on? Turn every Insteon Micro Module into an occupancy-sensing switch with an Insteon Motion Sensor. And with Insteon, your Motion Sensor can control multiple Micro Modules simultaneously for large rooms or long hallways.
No one wants to think about the potential for a disaster, but if one were to happen, make your escape as safe as possible by automatically turning on lights to an escape path when Smoke Bridge detects smoke, fire or carbon monoxide from a linked First Alert OneLink detector.
Garage Door
It's no only cool, it's handy too. Whenever you open your garage door, turn on the overhead lights for easier entry and exit from your vehicle. And while you're at it, turn the outside sconces and walkway lights on, too for that extra bit of illuminated peace-of-mind when you come home late at night.

- Works with x-10 and insteon - Latching set up. Review by Chris C
Works with x-10 and insteon - Latching set up.
Chris C
I installed the latching setup for the front lights on the house.
So, I can use the existing standard wall switch to control the front lights, and I programmed the x-10 code to control an existing x10 module in my lamp post.
So, the wall switch controls the two lights in concert with each other.
Controlling it with the insteon app will just control the lights on the house but not the post. - which is great. Nice status indicator in app shows when it is off or on.

- Helps Solve a Wiring Problem Review by David
Helps Solve a Wiring Problem
I have an older house. Not all of the switch boxes have a neutral conductor. I use the micro on/off switch module to solve the problem. The module easily fits in the canopy box. I changed the wiring inside the canopy to connect line and neutral to the switch box for a dimmer or on/off switch module. I linked the micro on/off module and the switch module so that the switch controls the lamp. This approach works for multiple switch controllers too. I haven't tried the local control option.

- Working as expected as in an HVAC system Review by Luke
Working as expected as in an HVAC system
I am using this to control an HVAC booster fan along with a wireless thermostat. The system works well.
- Small
- LED makes troubleshooting easy
Other thoughts:
- Be careful when using this with the HouseLinc since HouseLinc tends to revert some of the settings (like switching the device back into three-way mode)

- No bueno Review by spatrick
No bueno
Unfortunately the 'Add remote control to virtually any switch or outlet' didn't hold true to 2 wire installations. Finding out it will not work in my case and no option to get the same deal on a 4 pack for the switch that would work (even though same unit price). Returning...

- Awesome Review by Joe
Our rear porch light was separate from our Front porch light and lights next to garage doors. Front lights on a 3 way with a switch inside garage. I always thought why didn't they use a four way switch to control all lights. We built a detached garage and I had those light on a timer. After reading reviews I decided to take the plunge. I wanted to keep the toggle switches so I used the Micro Modules. The first switch I hooked up was rear door to garage. They would not link. I called tech support and was told the sub panel and brick wall must be blocking both signals. Luckily I had a extra conduit buried that still had the wires I used to get temporary power to garage while building it. I ran that to a junction box inside detached garage. I eliminated the switch inside detached garage door and used the Micro module as the switch. Never used a switch before anyway. I can always add a remote later. Wow it worked. I must have turned lights on and off a dozen times and giggled every time.
Ok, now onto the three way at front porch and inside garage doors. I opened the cover at front door. Wow what's the extra red wire. I checked box inside garage and it had the white wire with black tape on it along with red. That made sense, but the extra red inside at front door had me confused. I decided to call an electrician. He never called back. So after a night of restless sleep I looked deeper into box and saw a black capped wire?? Ahh, the red must be hot going to outlet on porch. I made white wire common and eliminated a traveler to the other switch just as in video. Hooked both Micro modules and linked all to be transponder and receivers. This is AWESOME. I can now control all my outdoor lights from one switch.
BTW I tested another Micro module in in the garage and now that one is working it links even with the sub panel.

- Great multi purpose device Review by Patrick
Great multi purpose device
I just installed this great little device in my over head range. This is being used as part of my HVAC solution which is being controlled by my ISY-994.
When the temperature gets too hot the controller activates the Micro On/Off module to come on for a specified duration. It has been working great for several months and I look forward to integrating more of these in the future.
PRO'S: Small & compact, versatile, dual band, sense wire.
CON'S: Sense wires are too thin and needs to be upgraded. Device needs mounting tabs / ears. Price, this device should really be in the $25.XX range.

Review of 2443-222
Work as expected. Fit behind two outlets nicely for my backyard motion lighting project. I have 4 RAB Stealth motion lights connected in series. The On/Off module is always on allowing the motions to work as intended. Where the On/Off comes into play is when I want to keep the lights on manually by turning on my patio Switchlinc switch. That runs a program to turn the On/Off module off/on/off/on within two seconds to trigger manual mode on the lights. When I tuen the patio Switchlinc off, the On/Off module goes off for 10 seconds then back to putting the motions back into "auto". Couldn't be happier.

Shared services eyed as Medina, Ridgeway, Shelby officials meet
MEDINA – The elected boards of the Village of Medina and the Towns of Ridgeway and Shelby sat down for a joint meeting Monday for the first time in roughly a year. When the boards meet next Sept. 2, it is possible that they will be taking a look at a shared services proposal from the towns.
Monday's meeting resulted in an agreement to have the village provide both towns with budget numbers for non-emergency services so that the towns could assess how to best take over duplicated services and in the process reduce the high village tax rate.
While there has been talk of dissolving the village, it has become clear that the towns' preference is to focus only on shared services, Medina Mayor Andrew Meier said.
Ridgeway Supervisor Brian Napoli and Shelby Supervisor Merle Draper said dissolution is a village plan and consolidation would be done by the towns and not the village.
Meier expressed frustration at the towns' reluctance to talk about the village's dissolution plan on Monday. He noted how the towns have maintained various social media platforms to talk about dissolution from afar, and that it was insulting to the committee that worked on the plan to not discuss it in an open forum.
Napoli said he would not talk about dissolving the village because Ridgeway was not part of the plan's process.
Shelby Trustee Steve Seitz suggested moving forward and leaving the past in the past. Draper echoed that, noting, "The elephant in the room is the village's $16.45 tax rate. What can we do to lower it?"
Draper explained how village residents receive a heightened level of services, but roughly $6.30 of that tax rate comes from services the towns already provide in some way.
"We need to take a hard look at shared services and exhaust those talks," Draper said. "There is potential to save now and that's where we should start. If, down the road, we need to explore other areas, we should do that."
Ridgeway Trustee Jeff Toussaint said it was in everyone's best interest to analyze a full sharing of a service and to see that analysis through to its conclusion. That way, the best determination could be made as to how much of a help it could be in bringing down the village tax rate. Its other benefit, he said, would be to "show we can all work together."
Draper said that his radical concept would see each town take over its share of entire duplicated departments, but he would need to go through the numbers first. When he asked for the budget and other associated numbers regarding those services, Meier said much of that work had already been done in both the consolidation study and in the most recent dissolution plan.


text: I found out from Congressman Coles office today the the Muskogee office has been court ordered to process all agent orange claims by September 30th. This leaves all normal veterans claims on the back burner. After the 30th they will begin processing normal claims of which they have over 15,000. One agent can process 2-3 claims a day. Soon thereafter they are ordered to process all widows claims from the Seattle office and Muskogee. Once again this puts OIF/OEF claims on the back burner. Even though they claim they are helping OEF/OIF Soldiers it is just BS. I hope this info helps veterans understand they may get help by the end of the year. FYI I am extremely pissed off. CS

YORK City manager Gary Mills is not interested in any transfer window inquiries for midfielder Michael Potts.
The former Blackburn Rovers reserve's days looked numbered at Bootham Crescent when he was placed on the transfer list at the beginning of the season and was restricted to just two substitute outings prior to his surprise recall to the starting line-up at Rochdale last month.
He netted twice in that match and has now made the first XI during the last six games with Mills no longer looking to offload the 21-year-old Lancastrian.
"If somebody rang me up and wanted Pottsy today, I would not let them have him," Mills revealed.
"He's such a good professional and a good lad to have around the club.
"He knew he had to do better and was waiting for that opportunity. He does not want to let that go now and I've been really pleased with his performances.
"If you look at him against Burton, he closed them down and won a lot of second balls. He stopped them from getting the ball forward and was tremendous for us. He got in some good positions as well. It might have been his best performance for the team even though he got two goals at Rochdale.
"All midfielders want to score and create goals but stopping the opposition playing and doing that dirty side of the game is important as well."
Mills also believes David McGurk, another player that has returned from the City wilderness, is forging the same central-defensive understanding with captain Chris Smith that the two enjoyed when the latter rejoined the club in October 2011.
Back then, City conceded just one goal in the first seven matches that McGurk and Smith started together.
Now, after back-to-back clean sheets at Fleetwood and against Burton Albion following the latter's return to the side, Mills is hopeful the duo can carry on in a similar vein.
He said: "David McGurk and Chris Smith have been excellent in the last two matches.
"They did well and had a good understanding when Smudger (Smith) first came back to the club and, even though he had to clear two off the line against Burton, I did not feel they were ever going to score.
"They've played together for two games and kept two clean sheets and you can't ask for more than that."

Hi I have recently had a DVT and PE and was in hospital for 3 weeks. I am currently suffering from all the usual effects such as aching and painful leg. I am also awaiting a heart scab as my breathing is still not good. My INR is never stable and I have never had it to where they want it. Anyway my question is has anywhen else ever suffered from blue toenails, I have only noticed this in the last couple of weeks and am a bit confused about it. Thank

Do you mean heart scan? I was about to ask what is a heart scab when I realised it may me a typo :-)
My DVT is in my arm and I have found my fingernails often have a blue tinge to them, when the swelling is bad towards the end of the day they can be quite blue. That along with the cold hand is part of the package I think? Are you wearing compression stockings? I find a compression sleeve is helping my arm.

Hi DianneH,
the only thing that goes blue for me is the nail beds, nowhere else on my hand or feet is affected by this so after reading everything in the link I don't think it applies to me especially as the blueness is linked to how much my arm has swollen up during the day.
Thanks for the link though & I will mention it to my Dr when I see him again.

Well how about that, I was only reading about this yesterday!
From Wikipedia:
Purple toe syndrome
Another rare complication that may occur early during warfarin treatment (usually within 3 to 8 weeks) is purple toe syndrome. This condition is thought to result from small deposits of cholesterol breaking loose and flowing into the blood vessels in the skin of the feet, which causes a blueish purple color and may be painful. It is typically thought to affect the big toe, but it affects other parts of the feet as well, including the bottom of the foot (plantar surface). The occurrence of purple toe syndrome may require discontinuation of warfarin.[23]
(It would be a brave doctor to make a statement about there not being any bad side effects to ANY drug!)

Guiding Treatment Decisions in Cancer using Protein Biomarker Measurements: from Design to Utility
Conference Recording Apr 30, 2013
About the SpeakerSteve is currently Professor of Proteomics and a Director of the Proteome Research Centre in the UCD Conway Institute of Biomolecular and Biomedical Research at University College Dublin. Steve graduated from Imperial College of Science and Technology (University of London) with a joint honours degree in Chemistry and Biochemistry before completing a PhD in Biochemistry at the University of Cambridge. During his PhD he was awarded an Elmore Medical Research Fellowship. It was during this fellowship that his interests in the regulation of the mammalian cell cycle began, the subject of his research that was continued when he moved to the University of Liverpool as a Wellcome Trust lecturer.
In Europe and the US, prostate cancer is the most common cancer diagnosis in men and the second most common cause of male cancer-related death. At present, serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is the only molecular biomarker widely used in the diagnosis and management of patients with prostate cancer. Disappointingly, PSA levels cannot distinguish indolent from aggressive disease warranting an urgent need to identify clinically relevant biomarkers that will improve the management and treatment of prostate cancer patients.
We have developed a gel and label-free LC-MS based 'proteomic pipeline' for protein biomarker discovery using a 'clinical question driven' strategy. Candidate biomarkers have been assessed by feature selection and classification using a range of statistical methods and assembled into a panel. Currently, potential 'protein biomarker signatures' are being tested by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) based simultaneous measurement of multiple candidate biomarkers from the panel with some success. The potential of this approach in advancing more patient tailored approaches for the delivery of personalised patient care for prostate cancer and other diseases will be discussed.

What is a limited liability company?
A limited liability company, commonly called an "LLC," is a business structure that is similar to a corporation, but less formal. Business owners form LLCs to protect themselves from being personally liable for business debts.
LLCs combine the pass-through taxation of a partnership or sole proprietorship with the limited liability of a corporation. As in a partnership or sole proprietorship, income "passes through" the LLC to the LLC owners, and the owners report the business's income on their personal income tax returns. Unlike a corporation, the LLC itself is not a separate taxable entity.
Like owners of a corporation, however, all LLC owners are protected from personal liability for business debts and claims—a feature known as "limited liability." This means that if the business owes money or faces a lawsuit for some other reason, only the assets of the business itself are at risk. Creditors usually can't reach the personal assets of the LLC owners, such as a house or car. (However, both LLC owners and corporate shareholders can lose this protection by acting illegally, unethically, or irresponsibly.)
For these reasons, many people say the LLC combines the best of partnerships and corporations. The decision to form an LLC is an important one. Like a corporation, an LLC is meant to be a permanent legal entity, and it will exist—and incur taxes and fees, whether or not you are actively operating a business—until you take legal steps to dissolve it.

How many people do I need to form a California LLC?
You can form a California LLC with just one owner.
Is an LLC right for my business?
You should consider forming an LLC if you plan to run a business and are concerned about personal exposure to lawsuits or debts arising from your business. For example, if you decide to open a store-front business that deals directly with the public, you may worry that your commercial liability insurance won't fully protect your personal assets from potential slip-and-fall lawsuits or from claims by your suppliers for unpaid bills. Running your business as an LLC may help you sleep better, because it instantly gives you personal protection against these and other potential claims against your business.
Corporations also provide this protection from personal liability. Which is better? For many small businesses, the relative simplicity of the LLC makes it the better choice.
However, corporate taxation is very different from the taxation of LLCs, and this can be a deciding factor in which type of business you form. For instance, if your business will hold property such as real estate that's likely to increase in value, an LLC may make more sense, because corporations and their shareholders are subject to a double tax (both the corporation and the shareholders are taxed) on the increased value of the property when the property is sold. On the other hand, corporate income tax rates start out low—15%—so having the corporation rather than the owners taxed on some of the income may make sense.
Note that not all businesses can operate as LLCs. Businesses in the banking, trust, and insurance industry, for example, are typically prohibited from forming LLCs. California additionally prohibits professionals such as architects, accountants, doctors, and licensed healthcare workers from forming LLCs.
In addition, some businesses are so small that the fees and paperwork involved in setting up and running an LLC just aren't justified, especially in California, where both LLCs and corporations must pay an $800 annual tax to the Franchise Tax Board. If it's lawsuits you're worried about, often a commercial liability insurance policy can shield your assets sufficiently (however, insurance does not cover unpaid business debts).
Note that Nolo's Online California LLC does not allow you to form a series LLC, a restricted LLC, or a professional LLC.
For more information on whether an LLC is the right structure for your business, visit the Business Formation area of Nolo's website or read Nolo's book LLC or Corporation? How to Choose the Right Form for Your Business, by attorney Anthony Mancuso (available as a downloadable eBook).

How do I form an LLC in California?
In California, you create an LLC by filing "articles of organization" with the Secretary of State's office and paying a filing fee. You'll also need an LLC operating agreement, though it doesn't need to be filed with the Secretary of State. Your operating agreement explicitly states the rights and responsibilities of the LLC owners (and managers, if applicable). An operating agreement clarifies the business arrangement between the owners and governs how your LLC will be run. If you don't create a written operating agreement, the LLC laws of your state will govern the inner workings of your LLC. For more information, see Does my LLC need an operating agreement?, below.
After your articles of organization have been filed and you have an operating agreement, your LLC is official, but you will still need to obtain the licenses and permits that all new businesses must have to operate. These may include a business license (sometimes also referred to as a "tax registration certificate"), a federal employer identification number, a sellers' permit, or a zoning permit. Forming an LLC does not exempt you from any of these requirements that apply to all businesses.
For more information, see the Licenses & Permits for Your Business area of Nolo's website.
To begin creating your California LLC, visit the Online California LLC page at the Nolo website.
How much will it cost to form my California LLC?
The price of Nolo's Online California LLC formation service varies depending on your needs.
Nolo's Basic Service. The price starts as low as $99.00 for Nolo's Basic Service, which includes preparation and filing of the articles of organization, preparation of a customized operating agreement, and standard filing and shipping, which can take anywhere from three to four weeks.
Nolo's Express Premiere Service. Includes Nolo's Basic Service plus Priority Rush Filing, expedited shipping of your final package, a personalized LLC record book that is foil-stamped with your company name, 20 personalized membership certificates, and a personalized LLC seal, for $299.00.

The Secretary of State charges $89 in state fees for our Basic Service (includes a certified copy of the articles of organization) and $94 for the Express Premiere Service (for hand-delivery and a certified copy of the articles of organization). These filing fees will be added to your total when you check out.
In addition, within 90 days of your formation, you will need to send in a statement of information along with a $20 filing fee. LLCs also pay an $800 annual tax, due within 3 1/2 months of your LLC's formation and every April 15 thereafter (assuming your LLC has a calendar tax year).
To compare Nolo's California LLC packages, see the package and pricing details. Please note that coupon codes are not applicable to LLC packages.
How long will it take to form my California LLC?
With the Priority Rush Filing that comes with Nolo's Express Premiere Service, your LLC will be formed within five to ten business days (depending upon the Secretary of State's processing times) and you'll receive your final LLC package and LLC records kit three to four business days later.
With the Basic Service, your LLC will be formed, and you will receive your final LLC package, within three to four weeks.
How long do I have to work on my LLC order?
You have as long as you like to work on your LLC formation without purchasing it. Every time you work on your LLC order on Nolo.com, your answers are automatically saved.
Will I have to pay taxes on my California LLC?
Federal taxes. The IRS does not impose taxes on the LLC; LLC income is reported on the members' individual tax returns.
State taxes. You must pay an annual LLC tax to California's Franchise Tax Board (FTB) within 3-1/2 months of formation. That tax is currently $800 per year. After the year of formation, the tax is due by April 15 each year, assuming your LLC has a calendar tax year. This tax must be sent to the Franchise Tax Board with FTB Form 3522, Limited Liability Company Tax Voucher, available at http://ftb.ca.gov.
In addition, if your LLC's net annual income exceeds $250,000, you may be required to pay an additional "fee" with your annual tax return, Form 568, Limited Liability Company Return of Income. Like individual tax returns, your LLC tax return is due by April 15 of each year (assuming a calendar tax year). You can find Form 568 on the Franchise Tax Board's website at http://ftb.ca.gov.
Self-employment taxes. LLC members (owners) who are active in the business will probably have to pay self-employment taxes on their share of LLC profits—just as partners in a partnership do. Fortunately, an LLC member can deduct, as a business expense, half of the self-employment taxes paid. (Members in manager-managed LLCs may not have to pay self-employment taxes if they are not active in the business; if you are in this situation, consult a tax adviser to see if you should pay self-employment taxes.)
Do I need a lawyer to form an LLC in California?
You can form your own LLC online by using Nolo's Online California LLC. We will walk you through the information needed to form an LLC. If you have a complex question, you may want to consult a business lawyer or tax expert. Our website features an online lawyer directory as a free resource to our customers. Comprehensive profiles of business attorneys in your state can be found at www.nolo.com.
If you are trying to convert a corporation or partnership into an LLC, you should consult an attorney. There are some legal and tax ramifications to closing down an existing business and starting a new one that are beyond the scope of our service.
Does my LLC need an operating agreement?
California does not require you to file a written operating agreement, but you shouldn't consider starting business without one. Here's why an operating agreement is necessary:
- It helps to ensure that courts will respect your personal liability protection by showing that you have been conscientious about organizing your LLC.
- It sets out rules that govern how profits will be split up, how major business decisions will be made, and the procedures for handling the departure and addition of members.
- It helps to avert misunderstandings among the owners over finances and management.
- It allows you to create your own operating rules rather than being governed by the default rules in your state's LLC laws, which might not be to your benefit.
Learn more about operating agreements in the Limited Liability Company section of Nolo's website.
Can I form an LLC in a different state than the one in which my business will operate?
LLCs formed in California are required to have a designated office in California, though it does not have to be where business activity takes place. If your business does not have a physical address in California, Nolo cannot create a California LLC for you.
If you were to form an LLC out of state, say in Delaware, you would still need to qualify your LLC to do business in your home state—and this means you'll have to file additional paperwork and pay additional fees. For more information on whether you'll need to qualify to do business in certain states, read Nolo's article Qualifying to Do Business Outside Your State on Nolo's website. Note that if you don't register to do business in another state when required, you won't be able to enforce contracts in that state.
Also, be ready for some state tax complications if you form your LLC in a state that's different from the state where all of its members live. For one thing, the LLC members might have to pay personal income taxes in the other state on LLC income. (At best, you might get credit for those taxes in your home state and not have to pay twice. At worst, you might have to pay taxes you wouldn't have had to pay at home.) Other state taxes vary from state to state, and might influence your choice of location for an LLC. An LLC—like any business—has to pay franchise taxes, sales and use taxes, other transaction and excise taxes, and employment, property, and transfer taxes.
In addition, in most states, you need to maintain a registered agent in the state where you form your LLC. To avoid these hassles, most smaller LLCs that will operate in only one state form their LLC in their home state. For more information, read Nolo's article Where to Form Your LLC.
Also, keep in mind California won't let professionals (such as accountants, architects, and massage therapists) form LLCs. Professionals who are not allowed to form an LLC in California can form a registered limited liability partnership (RLLP) or a professional corporation. The Secretary of State's website has more information on these options.
Are LLC members subject to self-employment taxes?
An LLC member who is active in the business—like a partner in a partnership—has to pay self-employment taxes on his or her share of LLC profits. You can deduct half of what you pay for self-employment taxes as a business expense.
Members in manager-managed LLCs may not have to pay self-employment taxes if they are not active in the business. The self-employment tax situation for LLC members has been a subject of controversy and temporary regulations, and the dust has not yet settled around many of the issues. If you plan to be an inactive member of an LLC and don't plan on paying self-employment taxes, get an opinion from a local tax expert—preferably one who is willing to argue his or her opinion to IRS officials, if it comes to that.
Do LLC membership interests need to be registered as securities?
If any of your members will not be active in the LLC or if you choose manager-management for your LLC, you may need to comply with federal and state securities procedures when setting up your LLC. (If you'll be the sole owner of your LLC and you don't plan to take investments from outsiders, your ownership interest in the LLC will not be considered a "security" and you don't have to concern yourself with these laws.)
Membership interests in a manager-managed LLC might be classified as securities because nonmanaging members may be investing their money in a business in which they are not actively participating.
A security is defined as an investment in a profit-making enterprise by an investor who is not running the company. If a person invests in a business with the expectation of making money from the efforts of others, that person's investment is generally considered a "security" under federal and state law. Conversely, when a person will rely on his or her own efforts to make a profit (that is, he or she will be an active participant in the LLC), that person's ownership interest in the company will not usually be treated as a security.
If your LLC's membership interests are considered securities, you must get an exemption from the state and federal securities laws before the initial owners of your LLC invest their money. If you don't qualify for an exemption to the securities laws, you must register the sale of your LLC's ownership interests with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and with your state.
Fortunately, smaller LLCs usually qualify for securities law exemptions. For example, SEC rules exempt the private sale of securities from registration if all owners reside in one state and all sales are made within the state; this is called the "intrastate offering" exemption.
Another federal exemption covers "private offerings." A private offering is an unadvertised sale that is limited to a small number of people (35 or fewer) or to those who, because of their net worth or income earning capacity, can reasonably be expected to be able to take care of themselves in the investment process. Most states have enacted their own versions of these popular federal exemptions.
Securities exemptions may be an area where you'd like to get the opinion of a professional. If so, Nolo can help connect you with a lawyer. Nolo's Lawyer Directory provides a comprehensive profile for each lawyer listed, including the lawyer's experience, education, fees, and general philosophy of practicing law. Profiles of business attorneys in your state can be found at www.nolo.com.
Does forming an LLC mean I don't need a business license?
Forming an LLC does not take the place of obtaining a business license, tax registration certificate, or other required business permits. An LLC merely creates an ownership setup that limits the owners' personal liability. For more information on required licenses and permits, see the Licenses & Permits for Your Business area of Nolo's website.
How can an LLC be ended after it has been formed?
Like a corporation, an LLC is meant to be a permanent legal entity, and it will exist—and incur taxes and fees, whether or not you are actively operating a business—until you take legal steps to dissolve it. If you decide to discontinue business as an LLC, you must file a certificate of cancellation and possibly a certificate of dissolution with the Secretary of State. For specifics, read the Frequently Asked Questions on the Secretary of State's website.
In addition, certain franchise tax requirements must be met before you are off the hook for your business. For more information, see FTB Publication 1038, Guide to Dissolve, Surrender, or Cancel a California Business Entity on the Franchise Tax Board's website at http://ftb.ca.gov.
For general information on closing a business, read the article Closing Your Business: What You Need to Do on Nolo's website.
What happens after I pay?
Note: You will receive a confirmation email that includes the following information.
Your articles of organization will be generated and sent to the Secretary of State. With the Priority Rush Filing that comes with the Express Premiere Service, your LLC will be formed within 7 to 10 business days (depending upon the Secretary of State's processing times) and you'll receive your final LLC package and LLC records kit 3 to 4 business days later. With the Basic Service, your LLC will be formed and you will receive your LLC package within three to five weeks.
If you ordered Nolo's Express Premiere Service, your LLC records binder and company seal will be sent to you independently, directly from the manufacturer.
When you receive your final LLC package, you will receive instructions on a few more steps you need to take, which include holding an initial meeting of your members or managers, paying the $800 annual LLC tax, and sending a statement of information to the Secretary of State.

Danica's feat overshadows Johnson's Daytona win
By DEAN MCNULTY, QMI Agency
DAYTONA, FLA. - Jimmie Johnson may have won the 55th running of the Daytona 500 — his name is on the big trophy they give out at the end of the race — but the 2013 version of the Great American Race will be forever known as the one where the little lady led the field to the green flag.
Danica Patrick's pole position, and her leading for five laps, will be the highlight of Sunday's race whenever it is discussed.
It is just like when the late Dan Wheldon had to play second fiddle to Patrick in 2005 when he won the Indianapolis 500 but was almost forgotten in the hype that surrounded her becoming the first woman to lead a lap at the famed brickyard.
This, however, does not diminish what Patrick accomplished at Daytona.
She is deserving of all the attention, much to the chagrin of those who still resent her celebrity status.

text: NAUNDERO- The ever growing hometown of Bhutto leaders, Naundero, has turned a city littered with garbage owning to negligence of local municipal authorities.The heaps of garbage can be seen in every locality including Gareebabad, Pir Jo Goth, Katpar Muhalla, Pir Girghal Shah muhalla, Mirani Muhalla, Kertia muhalla, Ghar Wah, Shahnawaz Bhutto Colony. Most of people clean their streets themselves, get their chocked overflowing sewerage drains cleaned by paying the municipal sanitation staff, in order to save themselves from infectious diseases such as malaria and dengue. Reliable sources said that most of the sanitation staff has been deployed at the residents of VVIPs, due to which garbage is not regularly lifted and removed from the thickly populated areas. Mosquitoes add miseries to the citizens coupled with 12-hour-long regular electricity load shedding. The residents of Gareebabad locality held a protest demonstration and chanted slogans against the municipality. The protest was led by PPP activist Qurban Jarwar, Siraj Mangi, Aijaz Mangi and Waqar Jarwar. Talking to newsmen, they complained that since last many months, they have not seen municipal staff to clean their locality and remove garbage.
