7-Eleven Races On
C-store extends Andretti Green Racing deal.
DALLAS -- 7-Eleven Inc. will extend its sponsorship agreement with Andretti Green Racing, continuing in its role as the chief supporter of the #11 Team 7-Eleven entry into the 2006 season, reported Crash.Net.
7-Eleven has served as the primary sponsor for the AGR entry driven by 2004 IRL Tony Kanaan for the past three seasons and has also been an associate sponsor on the #7 XM Satellite Radio car of Bryan Herta, the #26 Klein Tools/Jim Beam machine piloted by 2005 Indy 500 and IRL title winner Dan Wheldon and the #27 ArcaEx car of Dario Franchitti.
"We're excited to continue our lead sponsorship of Team 7-Eleven," president and CEO Jim Keyes said in the Crash.Net report, "and also to be a part of this great American racing tradition."
Michael Andretti, co-owner of Andretti Green Racing with partners Kim Green and Kevin Savoree, said that he was looking forward to building on an already successful relationship with 7-Eleven.
"7-Eleven is such an integral part of our program that we're thrilled to have them on board for what we hope will be another championship season in 2006," he said in the Crash.Net report. "Team 7-Eleven has consistently been a championship contender on the track, and off the track 7-Eleven has established a great sponsorship program."

A new face for Ontario at the Tim Hortons Brier
- Updated: February 4, 2014
For the first time in nine years, Team Ontario will have someone other than Glenn Howard throwing skip stones at the Canadian men's curling championship. Instead, Greg Balsdon will lead his Hamilton squad in the 2014 Tim Hortons Brier, March 1-9 at the Interior Savings Centre in Kamloops.
Howard, who claimed two Tankards and a pair of world championships during his eight-year reign, crashed on a guard with his final stone to give up the winning point in the provincial final, Feb. 2 in Smith Falls.
Balsdon, part of the Cory Heggestad team that won the 2013 Canadian Mixed Curling Championship, will be making his first appearance at the Tim Hortons Brier with teammates Mark Bice, Tyler Morgan and Jamie Farnell.
In the 2011 season, Balsdon was defeated by Howard in the final match of the provincial playdowns.
"You Gotta Be There" when the top 12 men's teams in Canada compete in the 2014 Tim Hortons Brier. Get your tickets today by clicking here.

[via HBS Working Knowledge]
How long does it take the average country to adopt a typical technology? The surprising answer: nearly half a century, or 47 years. "There is, however, substantial variation in these lags, both across countries and across technologies," write HBS professor Diego A. Comin and colleague Bart Hobijn of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Their working paper available for download, "An Exploration of Technology Diffusion," looks at the whys and wherefores of these adoption lags—the time between invention and diffusion—for 15 technologies in 166 countries. Technologies that Comin and Hobijn studied were related to transportation, telecommunication, IT, health care, steel production, and electricity.
We develop a model that, at the aggregate level, is similar to the one sector neoclassical growth model, while, at the disaggregate level, has implications for the path of observable measures of technology adoption. We estimate our model using data on the diffusion of 15 technologies in 166 countries over the last two centuries. We evaluate the implications of our estimates for aggregate TFP and per capita income. Our results reveal that, on average, countries have adopted technologies 47 years after their invention. There is substantial variation across technologies and countries. Over the past two centuries, newer technologies have been adopted faster than old ones. The cross-country variation in the adoption of technologies accounts for at least a quarter of per capita income differences.

Christmas is right around the corner, so I thought it would be fun to look up some novelty gifts for the season. These gifts share a common theme – they are novelties only, and don't really have any utility. But they are fun!
How to Buy a Star and Name it After Someone
One popular gift for the last couple decades has been naming stars after someone – a significant other, friend, pet, etc. I had heard of this, but didn't know much about it until I did a little research. It turns out there is an internationally recognized organization responsible for naming stars, the International Astronomical Union. They have an in depth press release on their site regarding buying and naming stars, which you can read here. The short and skinny is this: The IAU names all stars and other celestial objects based on a numerical system designed to make it easy to track and locate objects in the universe.
So what about the companies that claim to sell you a star? Most of them offer a disclaimer on their site stating something to the effect that buying a star is not internationally recognized and it is more of a "symbolic gesture than a scientific gesture." If they don't have that disclaimer, the site is probably a scam.
Still want to buy a star? There are several companies you go with, and perhaps the most well known is the Global Star Registry, which has been around for several decades. The Global Star Registry offers "Star Naming Kits" starting at $54.
A Star Kit contains:
- A beautiful 16″ X 12″ full color parchment certificate personalized with the star name, date and coordinates.
- A Personalized 16″ X 12″ sky chart containing the star name, star date, the constellation and the location circled in red where the star is in the sky.
- A booklet on astronomy written by a professional astronomer with additional sky charts.
- A letter of congratulations/memorial for the recipient.
- Name a Star at Global Star Registry
How to Buy the Moon
I had no idea the moon is for sale, but apparently it is! LunarLand.com claims they are the only authorized company offering lunar real estate for sale to the general public (they also offer land on Mars, Venus, and Jupiter's Moon Io). Lunarland claims they are the only authorized seller of celestial real estate, due to a claim they made that took advantage of a loophole in the The UN Outer Space Treaty of 1967, which stipulated that no government could own extraterrestrial property. The treaty didn't state anything about individuals or corporations owning extraterrestrial property, so they made a claim, filed it, and opened their business.
So is it a scam? Depends on who you listen to, but there are several competing companies who claim to be the only authorized seller of lunar land, and I have yet to find an international authority that recognizes lunar land ownership. I won't pass judgment either way, but I will say that it is probably best to treat this as a novelty gift, similar to naming a star.
What you receive with a LunarLand purchase:
- Lunar Deed.
- Lunar Constitution Bill of Rights.
- Lunar Plot Map showing the location of your property.
- Mineral Rights.
- Copy of the Declaration of Ownership filed with the United States, the USSR and the United Nations.
- For more information, visit www.LunarLand.com.
Buy a Star Wars Battle Tank
Buy a battle tank, heheh, nice. You are joking… right? Nope. You can buy a replica Star Wars JL421 Badonkadonk Land Cruiser/Tank from Amazon. From the Amazon description:
The JL421 Badonkadonk is a completely unique, extremely rare land vehicle and battle tank. Designed with versatility in mind, the Donk can transport cargo or a crew of five internally or on the roof, and can be piloted from within the armored shell or from an exposed standing position through the hatch, thanks to special one-way steel mesh armor windows and a control stick that pivots up and down to allow piloting from the standing or seated positions.
The Star Wars battle tank also features interior carpeting, a 400 watt sounds system, a 6hp engine, and a max speed of 40mph. Each Badonkadonk is made to custom specs and you get unlimited consultations with the designer and manufacturer concerning all relevant options. Unfortunately, it is not street legal. List price: $19,999.95. (Currently unavailable).
More over the top gift ideas:
These items aren't just expensive – they are over the top expensive!
- 9 extravagant holiday gifts. 9 over the top gifts from the Neiman Marcus catalog.
- Platinum Cushion Cut Ruby And Round Diamond Pendant. One of the most expensive listings I could find at Amazon, coming in at a cool $117,987.00, a discount from $235,974. Shipping is free! 😉

For many decades, organizations have been trained to believe that the most effective way to develop software is to fully define requirements up front, thoroughly describing them in analysis documents and then carefully completing the design before building the system. Once the application is completely built, it is integrated and tested. Engineers have been taught that if they do not follow this phase-based approach and carefully design the system upfront to prevent mistakes it will increase enormously the costs of maintenance and bug fixing of the projects. Customers have also been led to believe that this phase-based approach is the only acceptable choice for building software. They embrace the concept of specifying everything they want in advance, then waiting for the architects and engineers to return many months later with the finished product. When a project does fail, the common explanation is (still…) that the team neglected to spend enough time up front in requirements definition or technical design.
This mindset has become even more reinforced by auditors who expect to see certain documents signed off at key points along the project lifecycle.
After years of failed projects being blamed on the same side, disruptive methodologies have appeared, to establish new approaches for creating applications. The Agile Methodologies are among these new approaches and their growing adoption has caught the attention of analysts and IT gurus worldwide.
But, what makes Agile Methodologies different from traditional engineering methods?
Why should organizations adopt agile development?
But, how frequently should iteration occur?
For further information on this topic, please also consult the Showcasing Agile Development whitepaper, from Digital Focus, and follow this link to learn more agile methodologies.
As you may know, the project development starts off with choosing an appropriate software development methodology.
Software development methodology, or system development methodology -- splitting software and building work into different stages with certain activities for the purpose of more effective planning and management.
There are numerous software development methodologies such as Waterfall, Cleanroom, Rapid Application Development (RAD), Team Software Process (TSP), Personal Software Process, Scrum, Kanban, Extreme Programming (XP), and dozens of other iterative and agile software development approaches.
Waterfall methodology for software development
To get more about software development methodology, I recommend this short article - A Fresh Take on 5 Software Development Methodologies
There is a great article on Agile for mobile development, you can find it here: https://project-management.com/agile-methodology-in-mobile-application-development/
Soon we are going to release an article on Agile vs Waterfall in mobile development, so stay tuned on Erminesoft blog

The Eureka 9 ft. Height Adjustable Tarp and Canopy Pole adjusts easily to any height desired up to 9 ft. Perfect for suspending tarps and canopies. Telescopes from 60 in. to 9 ft.
|Item #:
|108 in / 274.32 cm
ACK adjustable tarp pole worked well while camping. One locking mechanism was very rusty when I received them but it works fine. Glad I got an extra foot for adjustments. Poles are strong and easy to adjust. Recommend these versus the lighter weight ones you see that are less expensive. Would give it 5 stars if it wasn't for the rusty locking mechanism.
I ordered three of the 9ft adjustable tarp poles for the awning on the vintage trailer we just finished restoring. The trailer is only 8ft high but I got longer ones to allow for possible sloping ground. These poles are very sturdy and easy to use. I'm sure they will last a long time. The customer service at ACK is helpful and quick. They ship your order immediately. Mine arrived with one of the plastic feet missing, and with one phone call, the part arrived in 2 days. I highly recommend both the product and ACK.

Damon Albarn debuts 'Dr. Dee' album trailer
Like Nicolas Cage, Blur and Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn has a fascination with Alchemy, much to my delight.
Last year Albarn—ever the busy man—announced that he had written and would be directing an opera about the life of the alchemist Dr. John Dee. He also recorded an album's worth of material with for the project with the London Philarmonic Orchestra; which, based purely on Albarn's past work, should no doubt be excellent.
"It's very deep and emotional music, and it's kind of a magical but also quite mysterious subject matter," remarks conductor André de Ridder in the trailer.
As an album teaser, Albarn has released a trailer for the 'Dr. Dee' studio album. And anything that makes reference to the great alchemical order The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in the first track is bound to be good.
Watch the album trailer below in which Damon Albarn, André de Ridder and the London Philharmonic rehearse and record the song "Apple Carts."
The studio album will be released May 7th.

And if not a whole wing, are there perhaps a few feathers? As we begin to rebuild the party from the ground up in North Carolina, it seems a question worth exploring.
Although I remain registered a Democrat, I haven't considered myself such in many years. When I reached voting age many years ago, the first party I affiliated with was the LP. I have since distanced myself from them, but I still hold dear many libertarian values.
The best thing the NCDP and it's national counterpart could do would be to not only explore, but embrace many of the good ideas offered by Libertarians, Greens, and Socialists. Above all I and many others are searching for a party or movement that will embrace and support real democratic values such as ballot access reforms and mandatory inclusion of all parties. Diversity of ideas, in a party or a legislature, can only lead to a stronger more sustainable society.
"...the question is not whether we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be."
Martin Luther King, Jr., Letter from Birmingham Jail
Gary Johnson
Gary Johnson was for marriage equality and public campaign financing, and his libertarianism had a practical bent to it rather than being as far out there as Paul's brand of libertarianism, so I definitely think there can be some overlap between the Johnson libertarians and the Democratic Party. I know the ACLU often addresses it's advocates as civil-libertarians and I expect many of their supporters also fall into the Democratic Party.
Most of the libertarians I've known and met are fairly young and strongly committed to their party, which suggests to me that they wont be looking to change party affiliation to Dem for the most part any time soon. But that doesn't mean there isn't room to work in coalition with them on certain issues, and for there to be some races where they'd vote for Dems instead of socially conservative GOPs. At many of the bigger anti-amendment 1 rallies I went to, I would always notice a few libertarians there too.
Democratic bills like this might help to peak the interests of some of the young libertarian crowd too:
Short Title: Enact Medical Cannabis Act. (Public)
Sponsors: Representatives K. Alexander and Harrison (Primary Sponsors).
Independent voter
Thurman, You sound like an Independent to me. The emerging independent movement is not about creating new parties but freeing BOTH major parties from the duopoly they've created for themselves. You're correct that by embracing policies, such as ballot access reforms, along with open primaries, non-partisan redistricting and inclusion of independent/unaffiliated members on the Board of Elections and the Federal Election Commission, will fresh ideas and free voices enter into the political conversation. Come check us out (http://www.facebook.com/NorthCarolinaIndependents?fref=ts).
I'll admit I'm skeptical
While there are quite possibly several specific issues in which Libertarians and Progressives can find common ground, at their core, Libertarians are anti-government. Any public policy, no matter how steeped in common sense and actual need, is to be rejected outright simply because it's a government solution.
I'd love to be proven wrong on that, but after countless frustrating debates (online and in person), we always seem to circle back to that insurmountable ideological obstacle.
To be clear, I don't believe the government can or should solve every problem in our society. Some problems people simply must overcome on their own. But it's our collective responsibility, as exercised by our duly elected government, to make sure those obstacles are the same for everybody. But achieving equality is not a simple process, it can be complex as hell. Sometimes the only way to achieve it is to give some people a boost. And that's a fact that most Libertarians simply can't wrap their minds around.

'It only takes a second'- this is the phrase that accompanies many great moments in wrestling's history, and it works too for Sean Waltman's debut in the WWF, the moment Chris Jericho became an Undisputed Champion and the Montreal Screwjob. However, compared to the rest, the impact of the Montreal Screwjob is so great, some feel we'll never know the true impact.
A good place to start when examining the impact of the Montreal Screwjob is how the major three figures and two companies involved were like pre-Montreal. Bret 'Hitman' Hart was a multi-time champion who had all the respect in the world for Vince McMahon. Shawn 'Heartbreak Kid' Michaels was a cute, inspirational underdog who had done nothing wrong in the fan's eyes and Vince McMahon was the behind-the-scenes genius who created Hulkamania, the Attitude era and made kayfabe cool. Even the WWF and WCW had different reputations, pre-Montreal, with the WWF so cool, you had to like it to even be considered cool and WCW was simply an alternative to WWF with a different style of wrestling. Then 'The Hitman' moved to WCW, cue: Montreal Screwjob, and everything changed.
Suddenly Bret Hart's success was a thing of the past, Shawn Michaels was controversial, and the number one heel, while the ego of Mr. McMahon had just begun. Even the WWF was seen as a money-grabbing company, who would do anything to get the fans. While WCW was not even just an alternative any more, with fans switching to WCW for many reasons, including sympathy and the impact of the Screwjob on Bret Hart's career.
The after-effect of the Screwjob left a shadow in every involved figures career. With his move to WCW haunted by the Screwjob, 'The Hitman' would never be the same. He would struggle to receive the same respect and attention, compared to WCW's other big stars, would depend on a tournament to win another World Championship, and even would end up having a rotten 1999 and 2000, involving forced retirement and the death of his younger brother, Owen Hart, on live WWF television. His already-strained relationship with HBK would never recover, resulting in Michaels even recording some damaging comments on the proposed 'Screwed' DVD. Hart even has avoided public contact, as much as possible, with any appearance, these days, a moment to treasure. Shawn Michaels, meanwhile, would use D-X as a chance to improve on the heat that the Montreal Screwjob had generated. He has never been liked in Canada since, straining relationships between the American and Canadian fans. Mr McMahon and WWE, benefited from the Screwjob with increased publicity and an ego that to this day, depends on the Screwjob. With WCW suffering from the day of the Screwjob to the day Vince bought it in 2001.
Even the incident itself, to this day, raises many questions. These vary from 'Who screwed who?' to 'What if the Montreal Incident had never taken place?', but at the end of the day, 'The Hitman' and WCW suffered the most. The incident even has provoked comments in interviews and created feuds on its own. However, the incident has had such an impact, that Starrcade 1999, Survivor Series 1998 and No Way Out 2003 have all seen similar finish to matches.
Even Bret Hart's induction into the Hall of Fame, in 2006, was clouded by Montreal's hanging shadow. Hart even saying that if Michaels was in the front of the audience, he would walk out and Michaels would be doing his induction speech. Hart did give his speech, but would not show at Wrestlemania 22.
It was only one second, but in one second, the image of all the companies and figures involved was damaged. In fact, fans swear that the Montreal Screwjob changed wrestling forever, with their claim not being hard to believe. After all, since Montreal, there have been more references to the incident than any other moment in wrestling. Bret Hart was a respected wrestler, with success and popularity galore, then Montreal happened and 'The Hitman' lost his respect, his confidence and his good luck. Oh, pity the impact of one second.

About the Book
In May 2013 I took a road trip with my parents through the Southeastern U.S. We started in Tennessee at Great Smoky National Park, which was more rugged and beautiful than I had expected. The wispy clouds hanging over the mountains made it clear how the park got its name, and we saw waterfalls and beautiful valleys there.
We made our way to North Carolina where we saw Biltmore Estate in Asheville. This historic house is the largest in the U.S. and quite impressive. Then we were off to South Carolina to see Congaree National Park. It's a small park but it boasts the largest old growth hardwood forest in the southeastern U.S. as well as one of the highest tree canopies in the world. Then I swung through historic Savannah Georgia before a quick stop at the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site in Atlanta. All in all it was a wonderful trip through an area that frequently surprised me with its beauty and history.

Transfusions and Nitric Oxide Level in Preterm Infants
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- Study Results
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to better understand S-nitrosohemeglobin (SNO-Hb) in transfused blood of extremely preterm infants. The long term goal of the project is to identify variation in the SNO-Hb between packed red blood cell units, and between and among individual preterm infants pre and post-transfusion. Duke investigators are developing methods to replenish SNO-Hb, which, if successful, would improve RBC deformation in addition to providing a vasodilatory stimulation to hypoxic tissue, and lead to a randomized clinical trial testing treated vs. untreated RBC transfusions in extremely premature infants.
AIM 1. Measure the Total Hemoglobin (Hb)-bound nitric oxide (NO), Hb [Fe] NO, SNO-Hb (a calculated value = (total Hb-NO - Hb [Fe] NO) in blood to be transfused in extremely preterm babies, and in samples pre and post- transfusion from the babies.
Hypothesis 1: Measures of NO and SNO-Hb will be low in blood used for transfusion in preterm infants and will be decreased in the post-transfusion samples from the infants compared with the pre-transfusion samples.
AIM 2. Collect clinical data about study participants, including oxygen saturation and measures of perfusion pre and post-transfusion.
Hypothesis 2: Measures of perfusion will be reduced by 20% post-transfusion in extremely preterm infants.

Mitchum Powder Fresh Clear Gel For Women Reviews
HorribleTook forever to dry, left a smear on my black shirt, and did NOT prevent sweating or stink... and by the way I never really sweat that much and haven't had BO in as long as I can remember (with the brand I used to use, until my store stopped stocking it). I'll throw this away after one use and will never come back. — 8 years, 5 months agoSportyChick | 2 reviews
This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful
worked for others not for mei bought this because i needed something that wouldnt leave white lines on my black work clothes. i have to say im disappointed. i have to wait atleast 10 minutes after i use this to put on my top and i still sweat through my top. i think its a waste of money. — 8 years, 6 months agoesto4life | 12 reviews
Mitchum Fan since 1991I started using Mitchum deoderant in 1991 when I was working as a CNA at a nursing home in central Wisconsin that was NOT air-conditioned. In JULY! I had tried Degree, Secret, and several others, but decided to give Mitchum a try. It was the ONLY one that kept me from smelling bad, especially when I had to give steamy baths to the residents. — 8 years, 7 months agoTerface52 | 1 reviews
Only stuff I use...I have been using this product for years! It just works! And I'm never self-conscious about sweating or being the "smelly kid". — 8 years, 9 months agoJSPECK901 | 13 reviews
Best for sweaty peopleThis is the only deodorant I have found to work on me. Make sure you put it on and let it dry before putting on clothes so that it doesn't rub off. — 8 years, 10 months agoDaphneMurphy | 10 reviews
the absolute bestThis is the only deodorant I will use because I never - repeat - NEVER sweat or stink when I use it! (this includes being outside in the middle of summer) I buy the unscented because the doesn't interfere with my perfume, and I still never stink. Hands-down the very best. — 8 years, 10 months agoemily8miller | 14 reviews
I switchedI switched to Mitchum last year and I'm glad I did. — 8 years, 10 months agoLynnharasym | 23 reviews
Inexpensive and effectiveNo fancy scent or package leaves this deodorant to do the most important thing... keep me dry and fresh smelling. I tried some of the clinical strength deodorants and none of them worked as well as this does. — 8 years, 10 months agoRoseWolf | 6 reviews
The BestI wore this in the 115 degree heat in Arizona and I stayed smelling fresh and dry - that sold it for me. Now back in the midwest this is still the only deodorant I will buy! It does feel a bit gloopy when you first apply it but after it dries it is clear and you are good to go. It does work so well you can 'skip a day'! — 8 years, 10 months agoVanessaSue | 29 reviews
No white marks!This is the only deodorant that I have found that does not leave white marks on clothes. It works great. I also like the light scent, it's not overpowering. I switch back and forth between this and Degree, using this whenever I go sleeveless. — 8 years, 10 months agojennordhavn | 9 reviews

No, we are not turning into a quilting blog - though I think Doug's mum would like that :-) Some quilters have an amazing sense of colour. I was so impressed with these 'improvisational' quilts from Sherri Lynn Wood. The colors seem to have faded a little when I uploaded them to blogger(sorry about that) but you can see more of Sherri's fab work on her website - beautiful quilts!

Bellevue Hospital, the flagship of New York's public hospital system and one of the city's major trauma centers, was being evacuated Wednesday after operating on backup generators throughout the worst of Hurricane Sandy.
Bellevue, located along the East River in Manhattan, was evacuating at least 500 patients as of Wednesday afternoon; CNN was reporting that 700 patients were being evacuated, with most of those in the most serious condition already relocated to other hospitals.
"We are in the process of finding beds to move these patients now," Bloomberg said in a press conference on Tuesday, CBS News reported.
Several area hospitals, including The Mount Sinai Hospital and St Luke's Roosevelt Hospital Center, are helping with the evacuation and have agreed to take on some of the displaced patients, Reuters reported.
Coney Island Hospital, another New York public hospital located in Brooklyn, was also evacuated on Wednesday, ABC News reported. One of its generators was still functional, though the other had flooded during the storm.

Seventeen nursing homes and the Manhattan Veterans Hospital were also evacuated, New York Daily News reported.
Bellevue is just a few blocks away from NYU's Langone Hospital, which evacuated over 200 patients manually during the storm.
"What they realize is that their emergency generators are not continuing to work well," said CNN's chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta of Bellevue. "It can be very challenging ... even to transfer them within the hospital from one floor to the next. It's a very coordinated process. You always plan for the worst-case scenario. Everything from a patient's heart rate to their body temperature can change."
A nurse at the hospital put it a little bit more starkly.
"It's Katrina-esque in there," she told ABC News.

text: As this call will be webcast for some time to come I believe that it is important to note that the passage of time can render information stale and you should not rely on the continued accuracy of this material. During this call we will discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the SEC's regulation G. The reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is included in the press release and the supplemental 8K page filings for the quarter which is posted in the investor section of the company's website at www.macerich.com.Joining us today are Art Coppola, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Ed Coppola, President, Tom O'Hern, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. With that I will turn the call over to Tom. Thomas O'Hern Thanks Jean and welcome everyone. Today we are going to be discussing the first Quarter results, capital activity and our outlook for 2012. As we expected during the quarter fundamentals continued to improve. Retail sales had a strong increase and same-Center NOI was positive for the ninth quarter in a row. The re-leasing spreads showed double digit increases. Although occupancy dropped slightly, it remained at a very healthy level of 92.1%. Leasing volume and spreads were both good. Leases signed during the quarter amounted to 216,000 square feet. The average new starting rent was $46.06 per foot. The average re-leasing spread on a trailing 12 month basis is 15.8%. Average rent per square foot in the entire portfolio was up 5% to 45.87% compared to March 31st, 2011. Occupancy cost as a percentage of sales dropped to 12.9% compared to 13.5% a year ago. Looking at the results for the quarter adjusted FFO, which excludes the impact of Valley View, was $0.76 per share, up from $0.52 per share in the first quarter 2011. The operating results were good including same-center NOI growth, excluding termination revenue and SFAS 141 income was 3.4% for the quarter. Lease termination revenue was up nearly $800,000 to $2.9 million. Bad debt expenses are up somewhat at $800,000 compared to $400,000 in the first quarter of last year.

Up until 2007, Ubisoft was providing new Ghost Recon games annually as if they were birthday presents. They never forgot your birthday. But for four years now, the Tom Clancy brand of shooters have taken a back seat and we've not see much of Rainbow Six or Ghost Recon since Advanced Warfighter 2 (not counting the 3DS Shadow Wars title).
Instead, Ubisoft has shifted focus to their successful Assassin's Creed franchise which made Prince of Persia obsolete. And while we get those annually, we've also seen annual delays of Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, the long-awaited return of the series.
If you're tired of waiting, it gets worse. Ubisoft confirmed last night during their investors call that Ghost Recon: Future Soldier will not release until the first quarter of 2012 in an effort to "avoid the very crowded Christmas landscape in the shooter genre."
If you've been following the development of this game, you'll note that this is the exact same reasoning given when the game was delayed from the end of 2010 to this year so it sounds like Ubisoft knows their big shooter won't perform that well against against the dozen shooters debuting this year.
But what does that mean for the quality of their game? We saw it up close at E3 last year and it looked near-complete. Will they revamp the graphics and gameplay features even more so it feels like next-gen 2012 title? I'm calling it now: Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is a launch title for the Nintendo Wii 2 and it'll be confirmed at E3.
Ubisoft is an industry-leading company when it comes to supporting new consoles and tech as we saw with Kinect and the 3DS, so it's clear they want to be part of Nintendo's home console plans, especially if the big N is hoping to sell itself to the "hardcore" gamer market once again.
For now, enjoy the neat Future Soldier live-action video Ubisoft launched forever ago. There's also the new rumored Rainbox Six title to look forward to.

The Pima Association of Governments reluctantly authorized expensive furnishings in a new building downtown.
Although the PAG Regional Council signed a lease to be the main tenant at the new One East Broadway office building without any questions last year, its members had been kept in the dark on an extra $1 million in tenant-improvement costs until recently.
Former director Gary Hayes, who oversaw the building plans, resigned in ill health in December.
Interim director Cherie Campbell said it's unfortunate the council wasn't given the information during initial discussions, and she is trying to correct that.
On Thursday the council voted 5-2 to go ahead with the plans, saying lawsuits resulting from a broken lease would cost more than the extra improvements.
Pima County Board of Supervisors Chairman Ramón Valadez and South Tucson Mayor Jennifer Eckstrom voted no.
Tucson Mayor Jonathan Rothschild, who took over as PAG board chairman in January, said, "It's just another mess I've been asked to come in and clean up."
Marana Mayor Ed Honea said none of the council members were happy about voting 'yes.'
PAG currently pays $392,000 a year for space at the TransAmerica building downtown. Space at One East Broadway, now under construction, will cost more than twice that - about $860,000 a year.
Rothschild said the extra money must come from PAG's administration budget, not from taxpayer funds for roads.
Campbell agreed to find the money in the administration portion of PAG's $8 million annual budget.
Plans call for include four conference rooms, two kitchens and a coffee nook, and a director's office with a private bathroom.
Plans also call for audiovisual gear including a sound system with a power amplifier and mixers, video cameras, 70-inch and 50-inch screens in the boardroom, 42- and 55-inch screens in the conference rooms - even a 55-inch screen in the break room.
Campbell said PAG needs more seating capacity for public meetings, and the tech gear for videoconferencing will be paid for by a tribal grant, she said.
The council asked PAG to "cut out all the frills, and they're working on that," Rothschild said.
County Supervisor Ally Miller - who asked to address the council about the new building but wasn't allowed to until after the vote - said she is outraged and appalled.
Miller said it will be hard to cut enough money to make up for the extra expenses, and she said PAG should have looked at other downtown rental space, such as Pima County's new courts building.
"People lose confidence in government when things like this happen," Miller told the council. "And I hope there's a thorough investigation and someone is held accountable."
PAG is looking for a new director to replace Hayes.

Kathmandu -
Police arrested a man in rural Nepal after he allegedly killed his 22-year-old pregnant wife by stuffing her into a hay bale and setting it alight, an officer said on Tuesday.
"We received a call from the husband that the woman had gone missing, but when our officers arrived on the scene they saw the body and were suspicious," said Niraj Jha, the superintendent of police in Morang district.
He said that the man was arrested on suspicion of murder and would be presented in a local court later on Tuesday.
The woman, Maina Bardewa Bhitrikoti, who was four months pregnant, suffered burns on more than 50 percent of her body in the early hours of Monday.
Her mother told The Himalayan Times, a local daily, that she had planned to visit her daughter on the same day to discuss her recent complaints of "domestic issues".
The couple had been married for about two years and the husband had returned from a stint working in Qatar eight months ago.
Violence against women has garnered increased public attention in Nepal in the wake of protests in India catalysed by the brutal gang-rape and death of a female student in New Delhi.
"These cases of violence are not new," Lily Thapa, a veteran Nepalese women's rights activist, told reporters.
"It's just we're hearing about them now because women's groups have been empowered to report violence these days - it has always been around and it must be stopped," she said.
A protest demanding justice for the survivors of gender-based violence and an end to impunity has been staged continuously for the past 103 days outside the Kathmandu residence of the prime minister. - Sapa-AFP

IS there anything in this world more delicious than a sausage sandwich? Well, for some, maybe – but for a heck of a lot of us the humble sausage sandwich is about the tastiest snack you can imagine.
So, as this is British Sandwich Week, there is no better time to get yourself down to your next Worcestershire Farmers' Market and pick up some of the very best bread, sausages and other sandwich ingredients that you will be able to find anywhere.
Across the whole of Britain we buy more than three billion ready-made sandwiches a year – which is a bit mad, seeing as the very best sandwiches are those we make ourselves. Still, the sandwich industry employs more than 300,000 people, which is no bad thing.
However, no shop-bought sandwich can ever rival the taste of a fresh, home-made sausage sandwich.
You will find a fabulous variety of sausages at your local farmers' market, some of which you will be able to try before you buy.
There are all manner of sausage varieties on the Vicarage Farm stall, including lamb and mint, lamb and redcurrant, pork and apple, pork and leek, venison – and plenty more besides.
Stallholder Henry Wormington says: "We have been making ham and asparagus sausages recently and they are going down very well with the customers."
You can also head to the Rochford Country Meats and Elmore Farm Foods stalls for more sausage varieties.
For the freshest bread, make your way to the Churches Bakery, Hanley Swan Bakery or 19 Gales stalls – there is a wide range to choose from, so pick your favourite.
Fancy a bit of pickle or chutney in your sandwich?
There are some fantastic choices on the Country Markets, Akiki Organics, Cottage Cakes and plenty of other stalls, too. Have a wander around your next farmers' market and make the most of the choices on offer.
Today's farmers' market is in High Street, Bromsgrove, from 9am until 5pm, and tomorrow's is in Angel Place, Worcester, from 9am until 3pm.
Next weekend's market is in in Abbey Road, Malvern, from 9am until 2pm, on Saturday, May 21.

Zanzibar, a name that conjures up images of paradise, mystique and coconut palms, Zanzibar is often wrongly called an island it is actually an archipelago made up of Zanzibar (Unguja) and Pemba Islands, and several smaller islands. I will refer to the archipelago as Zanzibar in this guide unless specifically referring to an island.
Zanzibar is in the Indian Ocean about 25 miles from the Tanzanian coast it and unlike most places in Africa it is not very big, it is 60 miles long and 20 miles wide, with an area of approx 650 square miles.
Some History...
The name of Tanzania actually comes from the two names of Tanganyika and Zanzibar and was created when the two separate states united to form Tanzania. The capital of Zanzibar is located on the island of Unguja is called Zanzibar City and the city's old quarter which is a World Heritage Site is known as Stone Town.
Zanzibar culture and history has been shaped by the Persians, Arabs, Indians, Portuguese, British and the African mainland. With the circular towers, beautiful old buildings and mosques of Stone Town. Important architectural features include the Livingstone house, the Guliani Bridge, and the House of Wonders, a palace constructed by Sultan Barghash in 1883. The town of Kidichi features the Hammam Persian Baths, built by immigrants from Shiraz, Iran during the reign of Sultan Barghash bin Said.
What About the Wildlife?
Zanzibar is not a place in Africa to come and visit if you are looking for the "big 5", but there is is a decent amount of wildlife to be found on Zanzibar. The forest areas such as Jozani are home to the endemic Zanzibar Red Colobus and Syke's monkeys, bush-pigs. Civet cats and the elusive and possibly extinct subspecies of leopard, the Zanzibar leopard. There are also snakes, monitor lizards, crabs, turtles, dik-dik (small antelope) and the hyrax which is actually the closest living species to the elephant but no larger than a rabbit!
Zanzibar also has a nice variety of bird life, including the Mangrove Kingfisher, Olive Sunbird, Herons Sparrows but I would not recommend Zanzibar as a destination if you are purely here to view birds.
The coral reefs that surround the East Coast are rich in marine diversity, and make Zanzibar an ideal location for snorkeling and scuba diving as the water is very warm with an average temperature of 20ºC and very calm. At low tide you are able to walk out to the reef in certain places.
Diving in Zanzibar
The diving in Zanzibar and particularly Mnemba Island is very good there are some nice reefs in all around the islands. For reef diving, probably the best location is the Pemba Reefs. There are also some good wreck dives in the Stone Town area.
Zanzibar Weather and Climate
On the whole Zanzibar has the perfect holiday weather for most of the year, as it is situated in the tropics but close to the equator the climate is mostly hot and humid all year round with the official summer in December and winter in June.
Best times to visit Zanzibar
From January to March and November to December
These are good months but there may be some rain and it will also be very hot and humid. please also note that the Muslim festival of Ramadhan is around December or January, the date moves back so do check before you book as some local restaurants, bars and discos will be closed during this period. This wont be a concern if you plan to stay in your resort, but I personally feel that Zanzibar has so much more to offer than just swanky holiday resorts!
April to June
This is the monsoon season and a quiet time on the islands. If you are on a tight budget then this could be a great time to visit as prices can be substantially cheaper. It does not rain every day, but you will have to take shelter whilst it does!
July to October
With an average temperature of 25ºC, low humidity and no rain to speak. It is also woth noting that not many people visit in January, so with prices still low this is a great time to visit.
Zanzibar Alternatives
Similar African Holiday destinations to Zanzibar on the African continent and some that you may consiter for some winter sun are The Gambia, which in recent times has become a very popular holiday destination. Another Idea for an African beach and Safari destination is Mombasa in Kenya, read this guide on diving holidays in Kenya and Family holidays in Kenya.

The Sixteen and Associate Conductor Eamonn Dougan Release THE BLOSSOMING VINE, New Recording in Polish Series
The Sixteen and Associate Conductor, Eamonn Dougan, follow up the success of the first disc in the new Polish series for the CORO label with a new recording devoted to music from the Italian maestro di cappelli from the court of Sigismund III Vasa, King of Poland from 1592-99. This second disc in the series explores a selection of fascinating music - all recorded for the first time - composed by the Italian maestri at the Polish Court of the 16th and early 17th centuries, including works by Asprilio Pacelli(1570-1623), Vincenzo Bertolusi (c.1550-1608), and Giovanni Francesco Anerio (c.1567-1630). The Blossoming Vine is now available from Allegro Classical.
While The Sixteen's acclaimed first disc in the Polish series was devoted to one of the most eminent composers of the Polish 17th century, Bart?omiej P?kiel, The Blossoming Vine features P?kiel's Italian predecessors. "The arrival of the Italian maestri heralded a new dawn for scared music in Poland," says Eamonn Dougan, "In 1595 Zygmunt II sent an envoy to Rome to recruit Italian musicians to establish a musical court which would grow to be on the scale of those in Vienna and Graz." Dougan calls the music, which is of superb quality with an ethereal beauty, "a huge voyage of discovery and tremendously exciting."
The music in this collection is all connected to the Virgin Mary with many of the texts taken from the Song of Songs, the Old Testament's collection of love poetry which has been applied metaphorically to the Virgin Mary.
The Sixteen's Associate Conductor, Eamonn Dougan has conducted the group throughout the UK and Europe recently to great acclaim at the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam, at the Abbaye de Lessay, France and at the Queen Elizabeth Hall. Eamonn is also Principal Guest Conductor of The National Youth Choir of Great Britain and Chorus Director of Britten Sinfonia Voices. He is also a regular Guest Conductor with Wroc?aw Philharmonic Choir, Poland. Alongside Harry Christophers, Eamonn co-conducted The Sixteen's 2012 album The Earth Resounds and made his full conducting debut on CORO with the 2013 recording 'Bart?omiej P?kiel'.

I Spend an Afternoon with Monet
The poet interrupts the painter.
It looks like a poem made of a thousand commas!
I didn't mean to be abrupt. He tips back
his hat to raise the black commas of his eyebrows.
I can't help myself; I ask When did the mists veil you
and make you this burly old bride?
He pretends not to hear, flips off
another series of commas. The strokes daisy in rows
of white, maybe foam, maybe snowflakes.
The skritch of his brush repeats itself
fifty times as I wait. Everyone assumes white
is his finishing touch, but I see he begins with airy patches,
flecking light into bush, sky, and ocean
as if seeing through lace. Is it his eyesight?
He begins with light, then adds dark
emphasis. Light on light, the whole
of sky and sea in rhythm, as though harmony
were endemic as minnows or weeds.
I stand back all afternoon and watch
as he accrues, like a greedy accountant, like God,
flakes, flocks, fleets, puffs, petals, and leaves.

More than half of purchases occur within an hour of a mobile search according to a 2013 study from Google and Nielsen. Dozens of other equally compelling statistics will tell you that this is the year to invest in responsive (also known as adaptive) design -- so called because it is aimed at crafting sites that provide an optimal viewing experience across a wide range of devices.
Here are some thought starters to make the most of your mobile site:
Keep it simple: Sure your website is a work of art. But with the significantly smaller screen of mobile devices, you have to think in terms of comfort of use. A clean, simple design will win hands down.
Focus on the user experience: Minimize the amount of text input required on web forms (who wants to endlessly type on a smartphone?). Limit the levels of navigation. Leave plenty of white space so users can easily hit the button they're aiming for.
Do your homework: Mobile site styling will look different on different devices, so find out which devices your customers are using. In Google Analytics you can see a breakdown of the devices, the number of users per device, and the version of each operating system that is being used.

Images too far up and problems when fading
I created a slideshow with 4 images (all 2000 x 1400 px, h x w). But the images seem to be aligned at the bottom. Unfortunately on the photos is a girl and it would be nice to see her head instead of her legs. When resizing the browser window, the background images get moved more and more up.
Also, the images are cropped and all have a transparent background. The transition works smooth in the beginning. The new picture fades in nicely, but the old one doesn't fade out but is still visible when the the new one is there and then it disappears.
Are these known issues? What to do?
I unfortunately can't post a link as the site currently only runs on my local machine.

It is now common among the stars to get a new look in each of their movies. It gives them more screen presence as well as people will not get bored of them very easily. As far as Mollywood is considered, people love to see their favourite stars in new looks. Many have come up with the same and some even been have succeeded. Mohanlal is the latest actor seen with a new look.
Mohanlal, who has already surprised his fans with the new look in Jilla, his Tamil movie, is once again set to give a second surprise to all the viewers with his new look in the upcoming Malayalam movie Koothara. The movie had already made it to the headlines owing to the variety in its title.
Mohanlal is said to have joined the sets of Koothara very recently. The shooting of the movie has already begun. He joined the sets a bit late as he was busy with his movie Geethanjali, which is getting released on November 14. In Koothara, we will see Mohanlal in a new avatar. He will have a grown hair and different costumes.
Sunny Wayne, Janani Iyer, Gauthami Nair and many others are also in the cast. The poster of the movie had already been short-listed for the International Best Poster Award category. Now, all we have to do is to wait and watch the new avatar of the actor and his brilliant performance in Koothara.

Have HVAC Questions? Ask an HVAC Expert for Answers
Hello.Sorry you are having problems. My name is XXXXX XXXXX I will do my best to help.Please wait to leave rating until we are finished.
Are you having this issue in heat mode, cool mode or both?
In heat mode.Not sure about coolmode as haven't used it i awhile. I don't recall a problem until sometime after we switched to heat.
Yes the fan keeps blowing and continues unless we reduce the setting. Sometimes it will quiet down a little for a few minutes but doesn;t cut out.
Ok, just a few more questions so I know we are on same page here.Which model thermostat do you in the 5000 series? There are several (5110.5220,5320 etc). And is this a thermostat has been operating fine for some period of time, just started doing this, or have you just installed this thermostat? Sorry for all the questions, but this is a step by step process to get to your answer.
We've had the thermostat for about 4 oe 5 yearsNo problem until recently
I'm afraid not. Wouldn't know where to start
I am just wondering if one of the settings could have been changed or memory lost at some point. One particular setting is the Function 3 (which controls fan) or function 7 and 8 which controls the heat cycle rate. If you would like to check those, here is a copy of the manual and instructions start on page 6
If you need assistance, I will follow long with you to check them
I printed pages 6 and 7 and will see if my hisband can figure it out. I can get back to you if there is a problem. Might have to finish by phone as thermostat is not near computer.
The display says Function 1and setting 5. What should they be?
Function 1=5
Function 2=0
Function 3=1
Function 5=9
Function 6=9
Function 7=9
Function 8=9
Function 9=3
Function 10=3
The rest wont effect operation as they are preferences.Also if you don't see one of the functions listed, that is ok too (thermostat recognizes needed functions per other settings chosen)
I don't understand. Is the 1 and 5 setting correct or should I try another combination. If so, which one
Function 1 should have the option 5 selected, then scroll down to next function which is function 2, there you want to make sure 0 option is selected, then scroll down to Function 3 and make sure Option 1 is selected , etc.
Press Up or down arrows to change settings.Press NEXT to advance to the next function.Press DONE to exit and save settings
The following functions displayed 1-5, 2-0,6-9,8-9 -3 . #'s 3,4,5,7 and 10 did not come up, It then jumped to 12 and14. What next?
Thanks. I'll see what happens when it starts up tinite. I'm going to close now so Email me if you have any other ideas. [email protected]
