For PPC Managers
PPC Campaign Generator for PPC Marketing Managers
Paid Search Specialist, Digital Marketing Manager, Online Marketing Manager, Interactive Marketing Manager... no matter what your official title is, you are responsible for managing online marketing initiatives for your company.
I've been there. I've walked in your shoes.
When I worked for a corporation, I managed social media, email marketing, paid search, website development, SEO, comparison shopping portal feeds, affiliate programs, and everything in between.
Since you do it all, your biggest obstacle is time.
What PPC Campaign Generator Does
PPC Campaign Generator software performs keyword research, groups your keywords, assign destination URLs, generates ads and outputs code that you copy and paste into Adwords Editor. At that point, your campaign will be created and you will have saved hours of time.
For those PPC Marketing Managers out there that are unfamiliar with Adwords Editor, I've put together a simple, easy-to-follow video course. The PPC video course is short, concise and will turn you into a PPC master very quickly.
Why PPC Campaign Generator is a Must-have
PPC Campaign Generator is a must-have for managers that are constantly launching new campaigns. It's also a must-have for managers that want a simple, step-by-step approach for creating campaign structures that search engines like and reward you for.
Now, whenever your boss tells you they want you to build a new campaign around such-and-such promotion, you won't have to set aside huge blocks of time out of your day. You also won't have the headache that comes with grouping keywords.

Chef'n Dual Salt & Pepper Grinder
I always make a point of trying out people's pepper mills when I visit, and I used this model at my grandmother's house a month or so ago. The handle makes it easy to use with just one hand (and no harsh wrist-twisting motion). Even if you're not yet arthritic, the ease of use can only be a good thing.

There will be no significant fighting at sea as Iraq is almost entirely surrounded by land.
Britain and America will launch planes and helicopters from ships such as HMS Ark Royal to attack the land, and drop-off troops inside Iraq.
There are American ships in the Gulf which carry missiles, and these may also be used against Iraq.

07 June 2010
The NHL Draft is16 days away andthat means that free agency is right around the corner. With that in mind here are five defensemen that theIslanders should look to sign when the market opens in July.
Dan Hamhuis: Selected 12th overall in 2001 by the Nashville Predators, Dan Hamhuis has evolved into a solid defenseman that could be very productive on the Islanders blue line. The 27 year old durable defenseman racked up 5 goals, 19 assists and 26 points over 78 games and finished the season a plus 4. Averaging 18:54 ice time last season, Hamhuis can come in to take over some of the work load for Mark Striet or Freddy Meyer who are climbing in age.
Pavel Kubina: After have back to back 40 point season, Pavel Kubina came two points shy of making it three years straight. The 33 year old defensemen put up 6 goals, 32 assists, and 38 points in 76 games last season. Ending with plus/minus 0. Kubina also was a member of the Czech Olympic team.
Sergei Gonchar: The Russian Olympian and owner of a Stanley cup championship ring only participated in 62 games this past season. He posted 11 goals, 39 assists, and 50 points in the regular season, however he finished minus 4. Gonchar's age ( 36) and his health will both be factors in consideration though. He's missed 45 games over the last 2 seasons. But Adam Gretz still considers him to be one of the best power play quarter backs in the NHL.
Aaron Ward: The 37 year old defenseman is no spring chicken, but still has the veteran leadership and skill that would be useful for a very young Islanders defense. In 60 games with the Carolina Hurricanes, Ward put up just 1 goal, 10 assists and 11 points with a plus/minus rating of minus 17. Talks of Ward joining the Islanders through a trade at the trade deadline ended when Carolina sent him to Anaheim where he finished the season up 0 goals, 2 assists and 2 points with a plus/minus rating of plus 2.
Dominic Moore: Moore spent a good part of the 2009-2010 season in the Florida sunshine, before the Panthers sent the 29 year old defense up north to Montréal. Moore had combined 10 goals, 18 assists, and 28 points, finishing the season a plus 4. Then helped lead the charge in the playoffs scoring 4 goals with one assist and 5 points for the Habs. Moore is still young and could be a added asset to an Islanders blue line that was very small and out matched last season.

Come January, Vivek Oberoi and his wife Priyanka Alva will be off to the Red Sea for their eco-friendly honeymoon.
Responsible tourists
Says a source close to VO, "Priyanka and her family have always supported causes that help protect the environment and ecosystem. The eco-conscious couple had ensured that the wedding invite and the bag carrying the invite were made from handmade herbs and that the scroll was made from 100 per cent recycled materials. As far as choosing a honeymoon destination was concerned, it was Priyanka who suggested they go in for responsible tourism."
Elaborating on 'responsible travel' the source says, "Vivek and Priyanka are going to the Red Sea for their honeymoon. Eco-friendly companies that arrange holidays for people, use a certain percentage to rehabilitate ecologically damaged places like jungles where wildlife is endangered, beaches where turtle breeding have been hampered and coral reefs that are dying out. The couple is going on a tour organised by one such company."
Apparently, Priyanka likes responsible travel. "Priyanka brought it to Vivek's notice that one could be environmentally responsible while on holiday too. Their company will give a percentage of their travel fees to maintaining beaches and marine life. Vivek will perform for New Year in Dubai and then take a yacht in the middle of the Red Sea to spend his honeymoon."
Yeh Kya!
Even as Vivek Oberoi is busy planning his honeymoon, a recent story on a TV channel has left him and his family feeling disgusted. Apparently, the channel stated that the actor invited them to cover his honeymoon and share bedroom secrets at a huge price.
A source close to VO fumes, "Vivek has always been very protective about his family and even kept his wedding a private affair. How could he invite the channel for his honeymoon in return for money? He plans to send a legal notice to the channel.
"The Oberois are extremely hurt. The channel even put up the story on Twitter as a trending topic. If the channel doesn't respond to the legal notice, VO will sue for defamation. He wants to send a strong and clear message that his family is off limits!"

Meet the Dragon Fruit (and Make Dragon Fruit Recipes!)by Leah Brickley in Healthy Recipes, June 15, 2015
Aptly named, this native South American fruit (also called the pitaya) looks like a mythical fire-breathing artichoke with its pink-to-reddish, or sometimes yellow, scale-like leaves. Dragon fruit is actually the flower from a plant that grows in tropical regions, which blooms at night just once! Cut it open and you'll find the fairy tale continues: The inside of the fruit resembles and tastes like a cross between a pear and a kiwi. It's slightly sweet, creamy and refreshing. Read more

Suddenly, at a bend in the river, I saw a bright fire burning ahead of us at the foot of some Black Mountains.
Farther on beyond the mesas dimly dawned the Black Mountains.
Beyond them on the river, and westward of the Black Mountains, are the Kaninaviesch, consisting of about four hundred men.
In the far distance were seen the lofty pinnacles of the Black Mountains.
Gale succeeded gale, with Black Mountains of water hurling themselves on the Borgmester Dahl.
There was a half moon and one could see the Black Mountains behind the ancient town.
He took him to a lake in the Black Mountains, bade him throw in his net, and bear the catch to the sultan.
It rises in the Black Mountains, and passes through a hilly country, with a poor soil.
We now began to ascend the mountains, which Hastings said must be the Black Mountains that the soldiers had talked to us about.
Mr. Valle tells us that he passed the last winter three hundred leagues up the Chayenne under the Black Mountains.

Otley Rugby Union Football Club's long-serving official Marc Lawrence says their relegation battle is "not insurmountable".
Their last-ditch 13-12 victory over Westoe at the weekend lifted them out of the third and final demotion place in SSE National League Two North – but only by a point.
Lawrence, who is interim club committee chairman after the resignations of club chairman Paul Carter and rugby chairman Gary Walker last month, is concentrating particularly on matches at Cross Green in Otley's bid for survival.
There are eight matches to go, and 55-year-old Lawrence, who is also club secretary, said: "We need to win our three home games – against Harrogate (March 10), Nuneaton (March 31) and Stockport (April 21) – and then try and pick up the odd win or bonus point on the road."
Harrogate are currently four points and two places below Otley, although they have a game in hand, while Nuneaton have played a game more than the Cross Greeners but are only two points and two places better off. Otley are obviously hoping that they will be safe before they face Stockport in their last home game.
Away matches for director of rugby Tom Rock's side include only one against the current bottom six - Hull Ionians on April 28, the last day of the regular season, but the rest of their travels are against sides who are no higher than fifth.
They are at Bromsgrove (eighth) on Saturday, Sheffield Tigers (tenth) on March 3, Luctonians (fifth) on March 24, Preston Grasshoppers (sixth) on April 14 and Ionians (12th) on April 28.
The good thing about that is that, in the majority of cases, Otley should be up against sides who have nothing to play for other than pride, and Lawrence added: "We wanted the victory more than Westoe did last Saturday."
The Otley chief said he wasn't aware of any fresh investment in the club and added: "I don't know how long I will be in charge for, but I am solely focusing on keeping Otley up."

Susan Orlean wanted to have a dog just like Rin Tin Tin when she was little and spent nearly a decade writing a book about arguably the world's most famous German shepherd. But she is resisting pressure to own one herself.
''Nope. Everyone asks me that,'' she says, laughing. After moving from a Manhattan apartment to a country house 90 minutes away, the writer for The New Yorker took on a menagerie of cats, chickens, turkeys, ducks, cows, guinea fowl and a dog - but it was a Welsh springer spaniel, not a German shepherd.
''I kind of feel I don't want any more pets,'' Orlean says. ''But now when I see German shepherds, my heart leaps a little. I feel a great affinity for them and a great sentimental attachment to them.''
Rin Tin Tin was a star of the Hollywood silent screen in the 1920s and Warner Bros paid him almost eight times more than his human co-stars. The press wrote and gossiped about him (''Rin Tin Tin, wife, occupy a doggy suite at hotel but canine actors left babies in West because of heat,'' ran one story) and, when he died, the US mourned.
His character was reborn in a television show in the 1950s that starred lookalikes and he enjoyed a glittering second career in the new medium. As a child of the 1950s, Orlean remembers the show, about an orphaned boy and his dog who are taken in by a US cavalry troop.
But her first memory of Rin Tin Tin was a figurine of the dog that her distant Hungarian-born grandfather kept on his desk, ''maddeningly out of reach''. Years passed and the animal lover had all but forgotten about Rinty until she came across his name when researching a story about animals in Hollywood. Suddenly she remembered how, as a little girl, she had desperately wanted a dog like Rin Tin Tin.
''It was really interesting to me to have a reaction that powerful to a memory from childhood,'' she says. ''That would have been the entire story, except I did a little reading out of idle curiosity and the story of his real life was so phenomenal, having had no idea he had a real life. I thought he was a television character - it would be like learning that Santa Claus was a real person.''
Rinty's devoted owner, Corporal Lee Duncan, found the German shepherd pup in a heavily shelled building in the small French town of Fluiry during an agonising Allied advance against German forces in World War I. Upon returning to California the solitary Duncan, who had spent part of his childhood in an orphanage, became obsessed with teaching Rinty tricks and launching his dog's screen career.
''If I had read that he had just been a dog raised by a trainer who had done very well, it would have interested me but I would never have come away from it saying, 'I have to write a book about this,''' Orlean says.
At the time, Rinty wasn't the only canine star but he was the one who captured the imagination of audiences. Orlean eloquently describes him as dark, ''slim-nosed, with unexpectedly dainty feet and the resigned and solemn air of an existentialist''. ''Dogs were perfect heroes: unknowable but accessible, driven but egoless, strong but tragic, limited by their muteness and animal vulnerability,'' she writes.
It may seem absurd to argue that a dog was a great actor but Duncan would often demonstrate Rinty's tricks to audiences - his ashamed belly crawling, his ability to stand stock-still for minutes on end and his range of expressions, from anger to joy to dread.
Rinty had a real presence on film, Orlean says. ''He had a quality that people were really affected by, a look, an expression on his face that was indelible.''
Writing the book was a chance to revisit her early years in Cleveland, Ohio. ''It was an anthropological and archaeological dig into a huge cultural and emotional piece of my childhood,'' she says, a task that felt more urgent as time marched on.
She began the story of Rinty soon after her father died and her son was born. ''The idea of continuity was suddenly very real to me,'' she writes. ''Reeling Rin Tin Tin into the present would not only revive his story but also perhaps clarify my own.''
Delving further into the 1920s, when Rinty starred in 23 silent films, made Orlean appreciate how the culture at the time was innocent and enthusiastic enough not only to embrace a dog but to flock to the movies and be amazed by his ability to climb a tree, tread water for 10 minutes or jump a 12-foot (3.6-metre) fence. ''Movies were exotic and magical and there was just a real feeling of novelty and marvel that I don't know that we feel as much any more, because we're assaulted every day by something new and marvellous,'' Orlean says.
''The world had also been pretty broken by World War I and the horror was so enormous that something hopeful, heroic and triumphant had a tremendous impact - and I don't think it was an accident that it wasn't a human.
''People maybe looked at one another as being capable of pretty terrible things but animals somehow seemed innocent in their own way and not part of the human folly that had been played out.''
The book was a departure in writing style and method for Orlean. She was catapulted into fame - or infamy - after her best-selling non-fiction book, The Orchid Thief (1998), was transformed into the mind-bending, postmodernist Spike Jonze film Adaptation. The movie portrayed Orlean as an orchid-dust-sniffing, gun-toting floozy who embarks on an affair with the toothless orchid hunter John Laroche - even though, in person, Orlean is charming, funny and very normal.
''Ninety-nine per cent of the writing I've done up until now has been in the here and now, talking to people face-to-face and writing the story from that,'' she says. ''And I was paralysed for a while when I realised that everybody I needed to talk to about Rin Tin Tin was dead.'' She chuckles. ''I didn't know how to work around that.''
But she was delighted when she realised how meticulous Duncan had been in preserving details of his life. One municipal museum in California, for example, had 14 boxes of his papers and Rinty memorabilia.
''It hit me all at once that those extensive materials - archives, papers, photographs - are the flotsam and jetsam of somebody's life and hold a story that's almost more intimate than you might have gotten had you interviewed them,'' Orlean says.
''It was very liberating to realise I could know people and still feel that closeness that's important to me.''
Orlean's charm as a literary journalist lies in her ability to find the extraordinary in ordinary situations and people - and occasionally animals - as demonstrated in her collections of essays, The Bullfighter Checks Her Makeup (2001) and My Kind of Place (2004).
With her keen sense of observation, sparkling wit and relentless curiosity, a New York taxi driver who also happens to be a king of the Ghanaian people the Ashanti, a children's beauty pageant in Alabama and a show dog named Biff become fascinating, unputdownable stories.
''From the minute I started writing I found that what I loved very much was to look to at a subculture and try to sort it out and understand it,'' she says.
''When I was a kid my dad liked to drive through neighbourhoods that were unfamiliar and just poke around and expose us to things that weren't that familiar to us.
''I was encouraged to think in that way: my life was fine but wouldn't it be curious to know what this life of this very different kind of person was like? I found myself unexpectedly drawn to those stories right off the bat.''
Orlean also occasionally veers into the personal. She wrote a hilarious story for The New Yorker about how she enjoyed raising backyard chooks. ''Having a dog doesn't make you feel like you're part of the land; it makes you feel like you have a dog,'' she says. ''Having chickens connects you to something bigger - a sense of the cycle of life and land.''
Orlean studied literature and history at the University of Michigan, where she wrote poetry. But as a young girl she had been hooked on ''slice-of-life'' stories in Life magazine about what it was like to be a country doctor or policeman and, after university, she began working as a reporter.
Her first book, Red Sox and Bluefish (1987), detailed the quirky things that make New England New England, while Saturday Night (1990) chronicled how people across the US spend Saturday evenings.
She has reported for Rolling Stone and Vogue; written a children's book, Lazy Little Loafers (2008) - she has a seven-year-old son; and even ''collaborated'' with her dog Cooper Gillespie (who died last year) on a dog cookbook, Throw Me a Bone (2003).
Orlean says she has a fly-by-the-seat-of-the-pants approach to writing. ''I stumble blindly into story ideas and that can be both wonderful but also a little bit terrifying,'' she says.
''When I unravel how I happen to write them I sometimes marvel, because I could never duplicate the coincidence that led me to the story.''
At the moment, though, she's not working on anything. ''And I think, well, I'll never come up with another story,'' she says. ''I simply will never think of another story idea, because I can't remember how I got the last one.''
That does not seem likely any time soon.

Integrating and Supporting Digital Production
Al Kagan, reporting
Absent: John Wagstaff
Guests: Dean Ruth Watkins, Associate Dean Ann Mester, and Assistant Dean Matthew Tomaszewski (all LAS)
Barbara introduced the topic by reiterating the charge and noting that the report is due in early March. Barbara and Paula Kaufman met with Associate Provost Brustein and the center directors and others who report to Brustein yesterday.
Al discussed the old Cohen Report which advocated bringing the four small area studies units together for synergies, but without losing their identities. The plan would have also tried to put them near the Slavic Library. He said the model in the appendix to the new service models report has a similar concept, and he advocated that concept.
Barbara said she is concerned about collections being locked up because of limited opening hours and inefficiencies of small units. She said that she heard from two groups of faculty at yesterday's meeting: those who are satisfied with the way things are and those who do their work online and are not concerned about how the library is physically organized but want strong collections and librarians who can help when needed.
Scott said that the environment has changed since the Cohen Report, but that many of the core concerns in the report remain important.
Dean Ruth Watkins said she understands the pressure to change since it is the same in LAS. We need to use resources wisely. The LAS faculty is most concerned with the principle of maintaining service. They believe in the need to highlight special collections, especially for competitive advantage in securing grants. There is absolute support for the Team's efforts.
Associate Dean Ann Mester commented on yesterday's meeting. The Title 6 center directors are concerned with service to users, collection development, greater web resources, the key importance of maintaining identities, and continued staffing especially in relation to reporting requirements for Title 6 grants. Merle agreed about the staffing, and Paula Carns said that we need to count the staff wherever they might be. Scott agreed that the important thing was to have the staff with the right knowledge and expertise no matter where they were in the University Library.
Lynne noted her conversation with a Title 6 program officer at a meeting in Washington, DC last week. He didn't mention identity, but this is not such a bad idea. The services rather than semantics are important.
Ann reiterated the need for branding identity.
Andrew said there were three basic points in our discussions so far: 1. How to balance area vs. international/global studies?; 2. If the entire curriculum is being internationalized, what would not be in such a new model?; and 3. How to promote efficiencies vs. maintaining strengths?
Marek noted that Area and International Studies are not the same thing. Lynne noted that undergrads do not understand the difference.
Scott noted that there had already been wide discussion about the new service model proposal.
Ann asked Barbara to describe her goals. Barbara said that we are still working on it, but mentioned access to print and electronic collections and library staff expertise.
Paula noted that she had worked in her Modern Languages role with Nelly in the Latin America and Caribbean Library, but that it would be better to bring Modern Languages together with Area Studies.
Susan promoted creating a multimedia lab and place for class instruction, a one-stop shop. Ann said we need a space for meetings with visitors from abroad.
Dean Watkins and Assistant Dean Matthew Tomaszewski asked if the new model would free up space? Barbara and Scott replied that this was unknown but we might get better quality space. Scott noted that the plan to integrate and centralize technical services would result in dedicated public service space. Scott said that we could use virtual space to bring disparate collections together, as the labor history portal.
Al described two kinds of international studies: those that fit would have across the board applicability such as global studies. Those that do not fit only address a specific kind of international studies such as international business. Al talked with Becky Smith, head of the Business and Economics Library, who said that students do not care if their topic is domestic or international; rather they care about finding all the business information in one place. The point is that business librarianship must be looked at holistically. He also described the need to keep international documents (especially the UN documents depository) together with domestic documents (US depository) for the same holistic reason.
Shuyong noted that there were no clear boundaries between disciplines.
Scott advocated different levels of participation in the new service model. The first category might be founding members wholly part of the new model. The second group might be corresponding members with strong connections to the new model. The third group might be others that would take advantage of digital opportunities to bring collections together such as in the creation of the labor history portal.
Susan asked if we could agree on the principles driving the new service model? Lynne asked that each person give their individual visions. Barbara asked Andrew to send out his three points. Andrew mentioned the 2006 memo from all the center directors and heads of the area studies libraries. Barbara asked Al to resend it to all. Paula said there were kinship issues, and that we need to talk more with each other. Barbara said we could change the culture.
At this point Mary Mallory was invited to join the discussion to comment on the role of international documents. Mary said that their documents new service model team is getting close to finishing its report, and that the two teams need to be in sync. When David Griffiths, international documents librarian, leaves, Mary is excited to take a major role with international documents. Other documents staff will also be involved. The Government Documents Library focuses on UN, US, Canada, and UK, but their website goes way beyond these collections. Al praised their websites. Government documents are collected in many libraries, and Mary noted that it would be good to pull this together.
We decided to review Scott's vision and Andrew's three points before the next meeting. We can discuss by e-mail. Everyone should make a written response before the next meeting, Tuesday, Feb. 24th, 9-12 am, room 423. We will also have another meeting on Friday, Feb. 27th, 1-4 pm in room 423.

The Syrens Of Spring
How Weary I am -- 1995-2011
I worked on at least 100 days on the piece, sometimes 6 h, sometimes 15 min in most cases 1-2 h. For every minute on every track in the project I had 5 minutes erased. Some 5-minute takes are edited down to 3 seconds. Other parts (such as some of the vocals) are 1st takes.
While I worked on the piece Linux Audio made great progress. I opened the project-file in all versions of Ardour since 2004. I wrote 4 articles about Ardour for german Linux-Magazines most of them using screenshots of the how weary project. Such screenshots also appeared in articles about 64Studio, Ubuntu Studio, Suse/JAD and other Linux-distros I wrote about in that time.
The software never failed me. If there was trouble, it was never catastrophic -- most incidents where related to plug-ins badly written or abused or both. But bugs never destroyed more than a few minutes of recordings and the project itself never was endangered by some serious mistakes of Ardour -- since there where no mistakes of that category. The same goes for Guitarix and Alsa Modular Synth that where my main standalone sound generators for the project.
I spent an important part of my life with this piece of music. Two of my children are borne in that time. The colour of my hair changed from brown with some grayish strands to gray with some darker strands and a good deal of white and the length of these hairs swayed between 30 centimeters in the 1990ies and 2 centimeters in 2005. My weight from 89 Kilogramm up to unacceptable 108 at the LAC in Berlin and now down to more acceptable 91K. I smoked 30 cigarettes a day then quit smoking for 2 years then started again and changed to e-cigaretts in the end. I used computers for office-work like everybody, then became a power-user, switched to GNU/Linux and became a modest web-programmer in the end. I have seen and experienced many many things in this time and I am thankfull and glad to have seen and experienced all this.
I had climbed a big mountain
atop the town of the sheep
as I was startling whith a whistle blowing
must have been fallen asleep.
so I opened my eyes,
and I wiped them well
and in the evening sun
the place looked like hell.
down the slope is a station
tells a dull neon-light
could make it home by the city-railway
before the fall of the night
so I tried to get up
to return to the town
but my feet felt like lead
so I dropped to the ground
So much for my creative writing. If I cannot find words that fit, I use to use citations of better writers in deep gratitude:
how weary I am of my good and bad,
for it does not make me fervour and fuel
the just however -- are fervour and fuel
Friedrich Nietzsche/Thus spoke Zarathustra
Und wenn ich Dir dann alles,
aber auch wirklich alles,
ganz genau erzählt habe...
Werde ich Dich fressen.
That is:
And after I have told you everything
and really everything
completely exact
I will eat you

The TCPA and the Combined Heat and Power Association (CHPA) joint best practice guide - 'community energy: urban planning for a low carbon future' - co-sponsored by national regeneration agency English Partnerships, sets out that a step change is needed in how energy is generated and supplied, with a transition to decentralised energy and power based on low and zero carbon technologies.
The guide demonstrates effective energy strategies and highlights a new role for local authorities, their communities and stakeholders to be sustainable energy pioneers. Local authorities are significant purchasers of energy services and can therefore act as a catalyst for energy projects. Leading by example local authorities also have the potential for their portfolio of buildings to provide long-term supply contracts as security for community energy projects.
Through case studies and a hypothetical city model the guide examines the key features of decentralised energy. It explores which combination of technologies makes most sense at different scales and looks at the opportunities for new and existing building typologies and uses, and the relationship of a town or city to its rural hinterland. The report suggests the framework needed to promote and facilitate these technologies including district heating, highlighting the role of central and local government, and developers and energy companies in its delivery.
In November 2010 the CHPA, TCPA and LDA Design launched the second guide in this series around practical guidance on bringing forward community energy projects. It is aimed at everyone from community groups and local authorities, through to professionals and developers.
The guide focuses on the stages of development - rather than specific technology options - to make sure, whichever opportunity is pursed, it is delivered for optimum benefit. It has also been authored to ensure it is of relevance for a wide ranging audience including sustainability and energy officers, through to planners and community groups, alongside others such as property developers and housing associations.
It is designed to assist potential energy project developers to:

Microsoft Corp. has launched the Environmental Sustainability Dashboard for Microsoft Dynamics AX. The new toolset will enable midsize businesses to capture data needed to measure key indicators related to energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions as part of everyday business processes from within their enterprise resource planning solution.
With the new solution, companies can collect auditable data on four of the core environmental performance indicators identified by the Global Reporting Initiative for energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, including direct on-premise fuel consumption and the carbon footprint of their power usage with utilities and other vendors.
Based on this information, organizations can monitor their carbon footprint and institute business practices that are both environmentally and economically sustainable, minimizing their exposure to fluctuating energy costs, for example.
In related news, Sole Technology, provider of authentic action sports footwear and apparel with revenues of almost $200 million, has announced that it is planning to implement Microsoft's new Dashboard.

Savers face a period of renewed competition for their money as Europe's sovereign debt crisis makes access to wholesale funding markets increasingly tough.
But tepid credit growth and a wish to protect margins will moderate competition, analysts say.
National Australia Bank's group executive of personal banking,
"We see funding costs under pressure and the likely direction is higher," Ms Gray said.
" [This means] more pressure on gathering deposits in Australia and that will make deposits more competitive."
She said this effect would be balanced across the bank.
While all banks passed on the official 0.25 percentage point rate cut to their mortgage pricing, Westpac and ANZ said their deposit rates were under review.
Commonwealth Bank of Australia and NAB passed on the cut to their deposit rates but NAB subsidiary UBank – which has offered the sharpest rate on online savings – said it had yet to decide on deposit pricing. Illustrating the rise in deposit pricing, ANZ said it was paying 2.02 percentage points above the cash rate for Australian retail deposits.
Before the crisis, lenders' deposit costs were about 1.50 percentage points below the cash rate, the Reserve Bank of Australia's figures show.
Nomura analyst Victor German said while banks were quite aggressive on deposit pricing, their urgency had moderated.
"Funding conditions are certainly very challenging but I don't think competition will be as aggressive as it was earlier in the crisis," he said. "One bank might be a bit more desperate than the other but we're unlikely to see a sudden spike in [deposit rates]."
Mr German said that given the outlook, depositors still had the opportunity to shop around for the best rates.
Macquarie Securities analyst Michael Wiblin noted that in the past two months, Australian banks had experienced narrowing term deposit returns, which were likely to cause a drag on interest margins.
In 2008 when funding markets seized up in the middle of the credit crisis, banks' competition for deposits caused many savers to rush to place funds with the big four.
This lifted overall deposits in the system but since that period, competition has largely resulted in flows between lenders rather than the creation of new funds.
Major bank chiefs, including ANZ's Mike Smith, have criticised "irrational pricing" for deposits but acknowledged the need to remain competitive.
The inverse bond yield curve since August has lead to the unusual situation where many longer-term deposits are priced at cheaper rates than shorter-dated terms due to the expectation that interest rates will fall.
But lenders say this has not caused flows away from term deposits to at-call savings as retirees and self-managed super funds prefer to lock their funds away.

Subject: Re: [DNA] Where does the 7cM block come from?
Date: Thu, 04 Nov 2010 17:45:28 -0500 (CDT)
Thanks for your explanations - clearly you are on the frontier, and I hope you get some data from others to help sort out what's really happening.
Of my 90 FF matches, 8 are "Close and Immediate", but only one of those is one of the 10 common ancestors I've determined. That one is a double 3rd cousin (brothers married sisters); has 126cM total including 5 large blocks: Ch 14: 26.18cM; Ch 15: 16.14 and 12.44cM; Ch 17: 18.23cM and Ch20: 8.89cM.
None of my other matches are "Close and Immediate" [6C-1 is 6th Cousin once removed]:
6C-1 has Ch 11: 11.34cM
6C-1 has Ch 5: 8.35cM (alternatively DNA may be from a different 7C-1 ancestor)
7C has Ch1: 8.07cM
8C-1 has Ch21: 10.58cM
8C has Ch10: 8.54cM (alternatively DNA may be from a different 9C ancestor)
8C has Ch2: 8.52cM (alternatively DNA may be from a different 12C ancestor)
9C has Ch1: 7.81cM (this DNA may come down one of 2 ways from the 9C ancestor)
9C has Ch9: 8.03cM
10C has Ch 15: 8.18cM (alternatively DNA may be from a different 11C ancestor)
[the 9C with 7.81cM is ancestor of my Mom and Dad, making them 8th cousins - just found this out!]
Each of the above FF Matches and I agree on the paper trails; all but the first (Close) one are from Colonial Virginia ancestors.
You can see that I am finding paper-trail ancestors from the "bottom of the barrel" - 9 confirmed out of 90 matches...
So from my perspective, I'm wishing I had the ability to lower the bar a little (look at matches down to 7.0cM), and get some more names and emails to work with!
Four of my eight "Close" matches refuse to reply to my emails - go figure.

There are several issues here.
Yes, 7.7 cM was selected for the threshold in the hopes that it would
identify regions that are Identical by Descent (IBD). Selecting a threshold
is a balancing act between false positives and false negatives. A false
positive would be a segment that wasn't inherited through the pedigree. We
could call that Identical by State, or IBS. A false negative would be a
small segment that was inherited through the pedigree, but it was so chopped
up that it doesn't meet the threshold.
However, reasonably large segments can make "quite a trip" down through the
generations. Each time it survives one more generation in the 50-50 lottery,
it's as if you've rebooted the clock. See the section called "Inheritance
Patterns" in http://isogg.org/wiki/Relative_Finder. It's certainly quite
possible for a single large segment to come from a single ancestor. We are
seeing what did survive, regardless of how improbable it might have seemed
in the beginning.
I may need to rethink what constitutes a large segment for Family Finder,
however. In a previous thread, I showed an example of how a smaller segments
within a child's match did not occur in either parent. One such paradox was
resolved when I looked at the child's two haplotypes. It wasn't really a
segment at all.
More recently, I looked at how many of the *individuals* in the child's
whole match list did not show up in either parent. It was 41/108, quite a
high percentage. All of them were in the "speculative" category, but some of
the longest blocks were sufficiently long that I don't think "fuzzy
boundaries" could account for them. That's when a few alleles from the other
parent *appear* to continue the long consecutive run of half-identical SNPs.
I often invoke that explanation for similar cases at 23andMe where the
child's match is close to the threshold, but the percentage of such cases is
quite a bit lower there.
This is just one instance, and it might not be a typical case. I'd be
interested in hearing some more stats from father/mother/child trios about
how many of a child's matches do not occur in either parent, and the lengths
of the longest blocks. I used an Excel spreadsheet with the COUNTIF function
-- I can send a template to anyone who's interested.
The big question is what it means if you succeed in tracing a common
ancestor for your DNA matches in the speculative category.

Killeen Daily Herald
Students from Bangs High School visited Killeen Monday to perform volunteer work.
The school's National Honor Society sent 41 students to work at the Killeen Food Care Center and the CenTex Humane Society as part of an annual trip.
"We go to a different community every year," said Linda Lawrence, honor society sponsor.
She said they chose Killeen because it was only a couple of hours away. Then they contacted the Greater Killeen Chamber of Commerce to determine if there was a need.
"Basically, we are upholding the principalities of the National Honor Society and to help out the community," said Andy Zambrano, a junior, after finishing up work at the food center. "It felt like the right thing to do to come and help these people who help the community."
The students helped at the center's resale shop, sorting through 122 bags and determining what was trash and what was usable, said Carmen Rivera, resale shop manager.
"It was wonderful because it takes away from my time with the customers to do this," she said.
Over at the animal shelter, 11 students walked, cleaned and fed the animals.
"It feels good," said Zambrano, of completing the volunteer work. "It's hard to describe really the feeling of knowing that you've helped somebody. It's a wonderful feeling."
It wasn't all work, though. Students spent Sunday night at Parrie Haynes Ranch after rock climbing in Harker Heights. On Monday afternoon, they were able to cool off in Long Branch Pool.

Orchard House/Salem: Witch Village
I have this kept in the Orchard House section cause a lot of people don't know that Salem is very close to Concord-- and you can make the trip in a short time, depending on traffic on the highway. Salem is a nifty little town, although it is a bit full of tourists (it was crazy the day I was there!) The witch village is a shopping/museum area right near the cemetary & witch memorial. I liked this photo cause it has the witch statue, and the smoke. I think that Alcott would have found witches and the Salem witch trials fascinating, although I have no real evidence of this. But with her short stories being all about "dark" secrets and magical things, I suspect there was a bit of "early goth" in her.

1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-β-carbolines (THβCs) are a pharmacologically important group of compounds belonging to the indole alkaloids. C1-Substituted optically active THβCs have been the target of extensive synthetic efforts due to the presence of the scaffold in numerous natural products and synthetic targets. This review briefly summarizes the methods to obtain the C1 stereocenter and concentrates on evaluating the pharmacological importance of optically active C1-substituted THβCs, including their PDE5-inhibitory, antimalarial, antiviral and antitumor activities.
1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-β-carbolines (THβCs), a compound class within the indole alkaloids, consist of a variety of both simple and complex natural and synthetic compounds [
One synthetically interesting subgroup among the THβCs is the optically active THβCs with C1-substitution. A stereocenter at C1 is a typical feature in natural THβCs and establishment of this stereocenter has received plenty of attention.

Biosynthesis of THβCs.
In the biosynthesis of indole alkaloids, the carbonyl species is often the iridoid glucoside secologanin. The condensation reaction between secologanin and tryptamine is catalyzed by the enzyme strictosidine synthase (STR). The resultant THβC strictosidine is a common precursor for a number of β-carbolines as well as other alkaloids, such as ajmalicine, strychnine, reserpine, quinine, catharanthine and vindoline (

This chapter concentrates on the pharmacological importance of C1-substituted THβCs. As the skeleton is a common feature in many natural and synthetic compounds, both the multitude of compounds belonging to this group as well as their corresponding biological activities is vast. The review emphasizes recent studies rather than more traditional applications of THβCs. The biochemical and pharmacological functions of β-carbolines (including THβCs) has been reviewed in 2007 [

Classical explanations of conventional wars run something like this: An aggressor state seeks political advantage through military force. It has a hunch that the threatened target will likely either make concessions to avoid losing a war, or, if war breaks out, the resulting political gains will be worth the military costs to achieve victory.
Wars then are prevented only by a balance of power and military deterrence: aggressors have to be warned that it would be stupid to start a war they will likely lose. If there are miscalculations or if emotions run high and logic is ignored, then the resulting conflicts only end when one side loses and has no choice but to accept the imposed terms of the winner.
That being said, the modern therapeutic West has either forgotten such rules or ignored them. In today's globally televised wars, a novel doctrine of proportionality reigns. It is sort of like T-ball in which scoring and winning don't matter. Instead both the stronger and weaker sides end up the same. Little attention is paid to who started the conflict, how it was conducted or how it should be ended.
In terms of the Middle East, contemporary T-ball war works out like this: A far weaker Gaza sends a shower of missiles into Israel, hiding its launchers among civilians to ensure collateral damage and favorable propaganda during Israeli retaliation.
Israel, with its technological savvy, knocks down most of the incoming rockets, but then retaliates inordinately to the aggression by killing far more Palestinians in Gaza than it lost inside Israel. That is considered unsportsmanlike play. In a fair T-ball fight, Israel should have stopped the war when the losses were equal and not tried to run up the score when there should be no score-keeping at all.
Apparently Israel was supposed to shut down its Iron Dome anti-missile system so that the Hamas missiles could kill enough Israelis to match those killed in Gaza. Then it should have accepted a ceasefire to the no-win/no-lose game, until Hamas chose to play the next "proportional" inning of this perpetual T-ball war.
However, just as one side in T-ball can be more skilled than the other, and parents secretly keep score in supposedly scoreless games, so too do the age-old rules of war not change just because we think they must.
Hamas went to war against Israel by shooting hundreds of rockets into the Jewish state. It thought such aggression made sense. The attack was timed just after the U.S. election. Hamas guessed that the Obama administration would be largely neutral without re-election worries over pro-Israel voters in swing states.

Minoxidil Pregnancy and Breastfeeding Warnings
Minoxidil is also known as: Loniten
Minoxidil Pregnancy Warnings
Only four cases of minoxidil exposure in human pregnancy are reported. In two of these four cases, minoxidil was associated with congenital abnormalities, but the presence of severe hypertension and the use of other drugs, including an ACE inhibitor in one case, make implication of minoxidil as a teratogen or as the sole teratogen difficult. Hypertrichosis was markedly evident in one malformed infant and as the sole abnormality in the other. One infant, whose mother was taking minoxidil throughout gestation, showed no adverse effects.
Minoxidil has been assigned to pregnancy category C by the FDA. Animal studies have failed to reveal evidence of teratogenicity, but reduced conception rates and an increased incidence of fetal absorption have been observed in rabbits given 5 times the usual human dose. Minoxidil is only recommended for use during pregnancy when there are no alternatives and benefit outweighs risk.
Minoxidil Breastfeeding Warnings
Minoxidil is excreted into breast milk. The manufacturer recommends that due to the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants, a decision should be made to discontinue nursing or discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.
Limited data from a single study of a woman who was taking minoxidil 7.5 mg daily reveals a maximum milk to maternal plasma concentration ratio of 1:3 at one hour after dosing.
