HTC Droid Incredible ReviewHTC Droid Incredible
HTC Droid Incredible, we weren't disappointed with what we experienced. Just like it, the Droid Incredible utterly beat our expectations by offering a sensible calling experience which is accompanied with clear and distinct voices on both ends – no apparent static noise could be heard in the background. Speaker volume was more than ample to make out conversations without the need for repetitions, but switching over to the speaker phone proved to be a bit more difficult. Despite having some serious loud tones, the speaker phone made voices sound somewhat muffled – but lowering it a bit made it tolerable.
HTC claims that the HTC Droid Incredible provides up to 5.21 hours of continuous talk time and remains operational for up to 6 days of stand-by on 3G networks. On our first round of testing with an extreme focus on sending text messages and web surfing, we were able to get past the 12 hour mark before a notification came up to connect it to a power source. When we tested it out for a second time, this time we were moderately using the handset, we were able to get an almost full day before requiring a recharge. Naturally this would be more than enough to clearly justify its normal operation for most users.
*Update (April 26, 2010):
After conducting a few battery tests we were able to get up to 5 hours and 30 minutes of continuous talk time on a full charge, or up to 20 hours with mixed usage.
There were many incredible aspects that we were able to experience with the device that ultimately shows HTC's continuation in being a leader in the Android world. With two similar handsets already out on the market, the Nexus One and Desire, the Droid Incredible manages to follow suit more with the latter of the two. Unfortunately, the minimalistic design approach is the one glaringly eye sore that hinders the Droid Incredible to be elevated to a level beyond its brothers, and with the HTC EVO 4G on the horizon, it'll have a small window of opportunity to make its impact. Verizon customers are once again being treated to the best Android phone to hit the US market – easily supplanting itself as the premier offering on their lineup; even when the Nexus One finally arrives on the scene. In the end, Verizon and HTC will clearly make out well on both ends as they both become the driving forces for Android's ubiquitous appeal.

I really like the design on the front of the phone, but I'm definitely not a fan of the back...I know they need a variety and this one was trying to stand out...but iono. I'm not feeling it. But hey, it might be targeting other people. Other than that, it's pretty awesome. I'm sure it will do well, but I don't think it will replace the Droid yet.

How could this replace the droid when this doesnt even have a keyboard?
21. iHateCrapple (Posts: 734; Member since: 12 Feb 2010)
Yea, the back of this phone is very....loud.
38. ace1122 (Posts: 237; Member since: 23 Mar 2009)
Haha how looks like i had the worst comment on the page... but it was just a question. I personally dont see how anyone can prefer typing on a touchscreen over a physical keyboard.

If you throw out the subjective rating of Design which has zero impact on the functionality, this is a pretty lofty rating for a phone. I really don't see how the EVO will raise the bar THAT much. You trade screen size for brilliance with the EVO. Beyond that, the EVO really only differentiates on niche features: mini-HDMI and mobile hotspot. Speaking of niche, the 4G ability of the EVO will appeal to only a small pct of the country being that WiMax is not widely available, not at all in some major markets like NYC. For those that are lucky to be in those select markets, 4G will be great. But if you don't have that luxury, well the EVO is just a 3G phone and with that, the coverage map tells the story: huge advantage Incredible and Verizon. I suppose we will continue to see the likes of Verizon's competitors trying to overcompensate for poor coverage and a lack of motivation to make improvements by releasing more advanced handsets. Unfortunately, consumers will have to pick the more important trade-off. Status quo.
4. stuntz (Posts: 178; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
4G will be in more markets, before the EVO comes out, so that takes away this phones "huge advantage"
34. jsnika (Posts: 16; Member since: 23 Jul 2008)
the evo will also be able to record in 720p and it also has a front facing camera....so that might bring up the rating a little bit along with the bigger screen. but then again the evo is going to weigh a whopping 6.00 oz, so we will see if that affects the rating as well.
40. Schmao (Posts: 365; Member since: 05 Jul 2009)
Verizon has the best coverage. Period.

This phone is a 4.3" screen away from making me give up my droid. the htc sense and camera upgrade is nice, but not enough to give up on my motorola- especially since my slide out keyboard does get a lot of use
5. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
What an INCREDIBLE phone....wish the wife was still with VERIZON....

That a kid, always working. I Pre-Ordered mine last night! the only thing I think I may dislike about the phone is the lack of metal, I love how heavy my Droid is, its like a brick shit house. I guarantee if Moto releases a Droid 2 it will mbe 2nd to none.As far as me being a raging technophile, my need for this phone goes with out saying. I shall use both!
7. vzw fanman (Posts: 1976; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
i definitly think it fits the name incredible.
8. tbacba (Posts: 111; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
The phone sounds great, but the review hurts my ears -- " the HTC Droid Incredible just doesn't breathe in anything remarkable in its build". Huh? How do you breathe in remarkable?! Someone really breathed in some mangled language in this one. :-)
10. techjunkie (Posts: 13; Member since: 23 Jan 2009)
A 6.5 for design? WTF? I've seen this site rate some questionable phones higher in that category. I know it's not the best design in creation but a 6.5 I think I might have to start looking elsewhere for reviews
11. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3117; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
Yea I agree, it seems like they were purposely trying to hold this phone down. I don't see how awful the design is, I've seen way worse.
12. jcoberg10 (Posts: 112; Member since: 30 Oct 2009)
If it had a half eaten apple on the back of the phone the design would get a 10. :)
13. sinfulta (Posts: 278; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
I'm also confused on how the display only got rated a 9, when currently its using the best display on a commercially available and affordable phone right now. But the IPhone 3GS display got rated a 9.5, with lower resolution, Non AMOLED screen, and it is smaller, but scored half a point higher? The desire scored 2.25 pts higher in design? Maybe I'm partial to black, but their should be no way that the desire scored 25%+ higher in design. Something is seriously seriously wrong here. I will take the Jet black beautiful front Incredible with a funky back any day before the all around boring/dirty looking desire. Just my .02 cents though.
15. funkpod (Posts: 1; Member since: 20 Apr 2010)
Maybe this was due to the fact that the iPhone review is older? I can't seem them being able to go back and retroactively change the reviews based off of the current standard. Like if the EnV got a 9 for a review, and then the EnV2 got a 9, but it's a whole lot better, and it can't be the same as the EnV2, it would be hard to go back and edit their previous reviews. Maybe the 3GS's screen was the screen to beat back then, but now there are better.
16. phonedemocracy (Posts: 98; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
I think the HTC HD2 is the screen to beat at the moment. Its bigger if I'm not wrong, with the same quality?
27. PaulRivers (Posts: 11; Member since: 22 Jan 2010)
Regarding the display - I couldn't find any mention of the iPhone's display in direct sunlight in the phonearena review (for the 3gs at least), but I think this bit from the htc review is probably why the score isn't higher - "Aside from the lack of visibility when viewing the phone outdoors in direct sunlight..."
41. Schmao (Posts: 365; Member since: 05 Jul 2009)
However, its not AMOLED. So inside, pictures look better on the Incredible.
42. Schmao (Posts: 365; Member since: 05 Jul 2009)
6.5 means average. Meaning there is nothing new, and the quality isnt the best.
14. techjunkie (Posts: 13; Member since: 23 Jan 2009)
@sinfulta they gave the N1 display a 10???why? when the display on the incredible is said to be better but yet they score it 1 point lower and N1 got a 8.5 in design??? I know to each is own but the reviewer sure seems bias to this phone for some reason, maybe he has a Moto Droid or a N1?
18. DrMichaelLum (Posts: 1; Member since: 21 Apr 2010)
Regarding the Cons: The front looks fine. The back does look a bit silly a la Nissan Xterra, but at least a good portion of it is flat, the way it should be since table surfaces are also flat. The uninspiring design and the cheap exterior materials can be easily remedied by a quality hard shell case like the one I have on my Blackberry Curve. As for the lack of headphones, oh well. I think I'm used to that now that Airlines never seem to provide them either.
43. avbscorpio (Posts: 1; Member since: 12 Jul 2010)
I have an Xterra. My Inc will arrive tomorrow. I already have a Seidio hard case and belt clip combo ready for it, which trims down one of the layers in the back. Now I know what attracted me to this phone, thank you. That and the sheer speed of it, combined with hating an external keyboard and the accuracy of the virtual keyboard. I have headphones (Sennheiser, of course).
19. Agent (Posts: 30; Member since: 16 Dec 2008)
Does anyone really use headphones that comes with phones anyway?
20. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3117; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
Exactly, I always use my own headphones, the ones they always offer in phones suck anyway.

'Their twin gestation held the kind of sickly fascination usually reserved for some gruesome act of nature: a fly trapped in a huntsman's web, a snake swallowing a mouse. Blind little babies, so Mary often imagined, curled up together for nine whole months, their spines aligned, sardine-like. Worst of all, they were naked.'
Thirteen-year-old twins Dominic and Mary have very different natures: Dominic, quiet and serious, is drawn to the natural world while Mary, a talented artist, is passionate and imaginative. The country town of Kyneton, still grappling with the legacy of World War II, cannot contain her ambitions for a life of creative endeavor.
When their father dies unexpectedly, the reverberations send the two in different directions. Mary escapes to the bohemian haunts of Melbourne while Dominic stays behind, riven by responsibility and an unwavering loyalty to their mother. But the siblings share a special bond of the kind only twins do, and each struggles with the loss of the other as they begin to carve out new lives. When a secret emerges with the potential to affect them both, will they be drawn together once more?
Set in an era of social constraint and profound scientific discovery, The Science of Appearances explores the inexorable pull of the past and the indelible bond we share with those who know us best. Rendered in beautifully evocative prose, this tender, powerful, touching novel shows how the complex interplay of heredity and environment makes, shapes, and sometimes breaks us.

Author Tags: Aboriginal Authors
Raised primarily on the Capilano Reserve in North Vancouver, Simon Baker was the grandson of Joe Capilano. Born on January 15, 1910, he attended St. Georges Residential School in Lytton. Baker worked primarily as a longshoreman in Vancouver from 1935 to 1976, rising to the position of superintendent of Canadian Stevedoring.
Simon Bakers life is recalled in Khot La Cha: An Autobiogra-phy of Chief Simon Baker (1994), written with Verna Kirkness. With an Aboriginal name meaning Man with a Kind Heart, Baker served as a councillor to the Squamish Nation for more than 30 years, ten years as its chairman, and became the only Squamish member to be designated Chief for Lifetime. He twice received the British Columbia Centennial Award of Merit, in 1958 and 1971, and became an international cultural ambassador in the 1970s and 1980s.
As a fundraiser and teacher, Baker played an important role in the First Nations House of Learning at the University of British Columbia where he received an Honorary Doctorate of Law in 1990. Ten years later he accepted the National Aboriginal Achievement Award for Heritage and Spirituality. Baker was invested in the Order of Canada in 1997. As a patriarch for nine children and 38 grandchildren, Simon Baker died on May 23, 2001.
In the periodical First Nations Drum, Baker was later referred to as the last of the great North Shore Indians., a reference to a remarkable North Vancouver lacrosse team in the 1930s. Known as Cannonball Baker during his playing days, Baker was inducted into the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame in 1999.

"Huntercombe Hospital, Watcombe, Torquay"
About: Watcombe Hall Annex Watcombe Hall Annex TQ1 4SH
Posted by Teresa A (as ),
Our daughter is in this psychiatric inpatient unit after two years of deterioration of her mental health and experience of local CAMHS and two other inpatient units. We wanted to record our great appreciation of this unit to thank them and reassure others who may be thinking of using this unit. Our daughter is 17 with depression, emergent borderline personality disorder, self harm and three suicide attempts, two while in other in patient units. She was adopted age 3 with two siblings and had considerable trauma, abuse and neglect. Watcombe is outstanding in the care if offers to its patients. Our daughter is wonderful but very troubled and complex and they 'get her' completely, going to huge lengths to engage and support her with psychiatry, psychotherapy, occupational therapy and education, including when she is at her most challenging. They have the most amazing and dedicated staff, including a first rate psychiatrist and manager. They are also unfailingly polite and supportive of us parents, and we are not always at our nicest in all this.

Type: Improvement
Status: Closed (View Workflow)
Priority: Unprioritized
Resolution: Fixed
Affects Version/s: 4.2 Enterprise, 5.0
Fix Version/s: None
Component/s: Tika, POI, and Metadata Extraction
Security Level: external (External user)
For some time now, Alfresco has been shipping patched versions of Apache PDFBox, with a handful of fixes in it. This list of fixes looks fairly stable - they're almost identical on 4.1.4 for PDFBox 1.7.0 to 4.2.2 for PDFBox 1.8.2 to community head for PDFBox 1.8.4
Because PDFBox in Alfresco is a custom patched version, it makes upgrading harder, both for customers and Alfresco. With Apache Tika 1.6 due out in a few days, which needs a newer PDFBox, that'll be an issue once again. (It's an issue for anyone trying to upgrade to the release candidate to check today)
It would seem best for everyone if patches to things like Apache POI, Tika and PDFBox could be contributed upstream, to avoid the need for Alfresco patched versions in the long term. (Short term for bug fixes is one thing, a year seems another!).
(The current set of PDFBox patches are the main ones needed for this - the POI patches have already been applied upstream, but confusingly community head has 3.10 final but a patch file for the previous 3.9 changes...)
Issue Links
- relates to
REPO-1315 Upgrade patched pdfbox library, move to GIT and upgrade dependencies: fontbox, jempbox
- Open
- All
- Comments
- Work Log
- History
- Activity
- Transitions
This issue sat open for so long that I suspect it doesn't apply anymore. I think we upgraded PDFBox in 5.0, we contributed many of our patches upstream, and we have been separating our patches from the application code so it is easier to upgrade these libraries in the future.
I'll close this as fixed.
We are looking at upgrading PDFBox in REPO-1315, so we linked the issues so that we can be aware of the suggestion.
Thanks again Nick.

Echo of Collapse
Since the globalization ideology has been adopted, the whole world has turned into one small village; connected in every aspect of life, whether socially, politically, economically...etc. therefore, if a disaster in the western hemisphere occurs, it will consequently have its negative effects on the eastern hemisphere! And, that is the case with the current world economic collapse! Though the Egyptian economy is still categorized as a developing one, the echo of this dramatic collapse will, possibly, impose its negative impact on the country

Back to Iraq
After years of Egyptian absence from Iraq, Egypt sent its foreign minister Ahmed Abul-Gheit to Iraq for the first time in nearly two decades in a sign of a growing Arab acceptance of the country's Shiite-led government. It was the first visit to Iraq by an Egyptian foreign minister since former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in 1990
Oil in disequilibrium
The turbulence in oil markets in the past couple of months was, perhaps, a shock for many speculators. It was only a few months ago that oil traded at $147 a barrel. Today, it trades around $70 a barrel (if not less), a fall of more than 50%
The Truth about Tape (Part I)
Over the last few decades, the IT industry has been the battleground for a number of heated debates concerning the future of technology. One of the most interesting debates revolves around "Tape versus Disk" that has raged for years. Disk defenders have claimed that tape is dead for many years, while tape defenders claim that tape is strong and growing up, neither dead, nor dying like foot soldiers in the Civil War

If, like most Americans, your diet is dominated by refined carbohydrates in foods such as white bread and rolls, crackers, candy, cookies, and sugary cereals, you may be ignoring what some experts think is the worst diet mistake of all.
You may unsubscribe at any time.
"Most people understand by now that there are healthy and unhealthy fats," says Frederick Samaha, MD, assistant professor of medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. "But there are also healthy and unhealthy carbohydrates. And overeating the bad refined carbohydrates causes not only obesity but also heart disease and diabetes."
Research shows that eating too many refined carbohydrates raises blood sugar levels and increases blood fats called triglycerides, which puts you on the fast track for heart attack, stroke, and diabetes. "Whole grain carbohydrates are clearly less likely than refined to lead to these metabolic problems," says Samaha.
Switching to whole grains may also offer cancer protection. "The fiber in whole grains isn't broken down in your small intestine, so it survives intact into your colon, where it creates a healthier environment that seems to help protect you from cancer," says Joanne Slavin, PhD, University of Minnesota nutrition researcher. Two new studies bear that out, including one of 520,000 people that suggests doubling your fiber intake could reduce colon cancer risk by up to 40 percent.
A Good Place to StartOf all the foods Americans eat, 95 percent of our grains--bread, crackers, cereals, etc.--are refined, Slavin's research shows. Start introducing high-quality carbs made from whole grains and packed with fiber.
Before You Grab That LoafCheck the label before you buy bread to make sure it's made from whole grains and has at least 2 to 3 g of fiber per serving. The healthy-sounding names on the front--such as "Seven Grain" or "Hearty Dark"--are no guarantee. Whole grain breads are proven to help you dodge excess weight, diabetes, and heart disease. And skip those made from heart-damaging trans fats, called "partially hydrogenated" on the label.

Admit it, we've all ignored a noise or a check-engine light in our cars. And sometimes when you're in that hurry to just get to your destination, and a warning light isn't going to stop you.
But what we have here is a little more intense than just a warning light.
We don't have much information about what's going on here, other than the obvious fact that this guy is driving his Jetta on a motorway with its front-wheel missing.
The video which was uploaded a while back on YouTube, doesn't reveal many details about the whole incident other than how fast he was going on three wheels - 120 Km/h.
From the look of things, the sedan has taken multiple impacts, and the front-left door has a massive dent on it.
But how was the car still running despite losing its wheel? We don't have many answers, we just hope no one was injured in this bizarre incident.

Pablo Neruda
Pablo Neruda, was born on 12 July, 1904, in Parral, Chile. His father was a railway worker and his mother (who died after Pablo's birth) was a teacher. A few years later his father, moved to Temuco, remarried doña Trinidad Candia Malverde. The poet spent his childhood in Temuco. While there Pablo wrote man poems.
At age thirteen Pablo began poetry by working for a news paper. In that job he published his poems in the paper. He also wrote books and put his poetry in them as well. Pablo is a great poet. Pablo is know to be one of the greatest poets of the 20th century.
'In the wave-strike over unquiet stones'
By. Pablo Neruda
In the wave-strike over unquiet stones
the brightness bursts and bears the rose
and the ring of water contracts to a cluster
to one drop of azure brine that falls.
O magnolia radiance breaking in spume,
magnetic voyager whose death flowers
and returns, eternal, to being and nothingness:
shattered brine, dazzling leap of the ocean.
Merged, you and I, my love, seal the silence
while the sea destroys its continual forms,
collapses its turrets of wildness and whiteness,
because in the weft of those unseen garments
of headlong water, and perpetual sand,
we bear the sole, relentless tenderness.
Pablo made this poem for his love.

|"A Thousand Suns"
|Song by Linkin Park
|September 8, 2010
|Compact Disc
|November 2008–August 2010
|Electronic rock, alternative rock, industrial rock, experimental rock, rap rock
|Warner Bros., Machine Shop.
|Linkin Park
|Rick Rubin, Mike Shinoda
A Thousand Suns is the fourth studio album by Linkin Park. It was released on September 13 and 14, 2010, in the UK and US and September 10th in Australia, respectively, through Warner Bros Records. The album was co-produced by Rick Rubin and Linkin Park vocalist Mike Shinoda, who previously worked together to produce Minutes To Midnight (2007). The lead single for the album, "The Catalyst", was released on August 2, 2010.
Early in June, Linkin Park vocalist posted what appeared to a be an animated image of static on the official Linkin Park site. As time went on, the image soon appeared to quickly read 'MOREMESSAGESCOMINGSOON'. Following this post two weeks later, another message appeared online, this time featuring a block of Binary numbers, which when converted and translated to English, read a near direct quote by J. Robert Oppenheimer. Fans were asked to search hard for an understanding to the quote which appeared to be incomplete. J. Robert Oppenheimer was soon to be discovered as the leader of the Trinity Project, a project which experimented with the first atomic bomb and that his quote was missing three words, 'A' 'THOUSAND' 'SUNS'. Another message that followed appeared to be new lyrics from an unknown new song. However, there were missing letters throughout the lyrics. When retrieving the missing letters and putting them together, they made the word, 'THE CATALYST'. Later in the month, another image came online, this time as a letter Mike Shinoda had personally written himself to Linkin Park fans. The message discussed the band's excitement about releasing the album and dedication to not spoiling anything. Fans later discovered that a watermarked text appeared in the image when the colours were altered with a standard editing program. The watermark appeared to read 'THE CATALYST /// AUGUST 2ND' which was then confirmed as the first single. One more picture eventually made it's way online, only this time, it was a group of jumbled up images that if placed together, made the recently updated Linkin Park symbol. There also appeared to be a green watermark in the image when placed together correctly. The watermark read 'A THOUSAND SUNS /// SEPTEMBER' which officially confirmed the title and month of release for the upcoming album. Not long after, Mike officially announced and confirmed all the information without the use of a riddle or a puzzle.

Google Unveils The YouTube 100, Ranks Rebecca Black Right Up There With Lady Gaga
Take a new chart released by Google today called the YouTube 100. The chart tracks songs across "official music videos, user-uploaded videos and viral debuts, and uses this data to provide a holistic view of song popularity." Indeed, in the current top 10, users will find not only superstars like Katy Perry but meme-worthy acts such as Rebecca Black of "Friday" fame.
The YouTube 100 joins the ranks of many other services trying to improve the way we chart popularity in the music industry using non-traditional metrics. Media measurement firm Big Champagne, for example, recently released the Ultimate Chart, which culls data from a slew of digital sources: Amazon downloads, Vevo views, Facebook fans, Twitter followers, and more. In December, MTV launched its own Music Meter, a ranking that tracks social media buzz and streaming data to deliver a real-time portrait of an artist's popularity. And other services like We Are Hunted base their rankings on everything from social networks and blogs to message boards and P2P networks.
The trend is clear: CD sales are an outmoded indicator of success.
"The notion of tracking sales and correlating that to success is a bit antiquated," Vevo CEO Rio Caraeff told Fast Company recently. "There's no single indicator you can look at now–you must look at everything."

Rep. Raúl Labrador (R-ID), a member of the bipartisan "Group of Eight" House members who are negotiating an immigration reform bill, decided to leave the group today when Members couldn't satisfactorily resolve the issue of who would be responsible for the health care costs of undocumented illegal immigrants.
Up until recently, the "Group of Eight" had an agreement in principle that illegal immigrants would be responsible for their own health care costs, principally through requiring them to purchase health insurance. When it became clear today that the disputes that arose during the drafting of language to incorporate that agreement could not be resolved, Rep. Labrador decided to leave the talks.
"I have tremendous respect for the members of the bipartisan group who have been working with me to fix our broken immigration system," said Rep. Labrador, "But after today's meeting, the framework of the bill has changed in a way that I can no longer support. Like most Americans, I believe that health care is first and foremost a personal responsibility. While I will no longer be part of the bipartisan 'Group of Eight' House negotiators, I will not abandon my efforts to modernize our broken immigration system by securing our borders and creating a workable guest worker program. I remain hopeful that the House can pass a bill around these principles and I will keep fighting to make it happen."

Adam Cohen (scientist)
|Adam Cohen
|Alma mater
Adam Ezra Cohen is Professor of Chemistry and Chemistry Biology and of Physics at Harvard University. He has received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers[1] and been selected by MIT Technology Review to the TR35 list of the world's top innovators under 35.[2]
Education and academic career[edit]
Cohen completed a postdoctoral fellowship in chemistry at Stanford University in 2007. He received a Ph.D. in experimental physics from Stanford in 2006 with W.E. Moerner and a Ph.D in theoretical physics from Cambridge University, where he was a Marshall Scholar, in 2003.[3] He graduated Phi Beta Kappa and summa cum laude from Harvard College with an A.B. in chemistry and physics. He attended Hunter College Elementary School[4] & Hunter College High School, a gifted magnet school in New York City.[5] He is the son of Joel E. Cohen, Abby Rockefeller Mauze Professor of Populations at Rockefeller University in New York.
Cohen's research combines building physical tools to probe biological molecules, using nanofabrication, lasers, microfluidics, electronics and biochemistry to generate data.[6] His current research includes single-molecule spectroscopy of microbial rhodopsins, the motion of bacteria in mucus, and new magneto-optical and chiroptical effects in organic molecules.[7] In 2010 and 2011, Cohen taught Physical Sciences 1, Harvard's introductory course in chemistry and physics, with Hongkun Park.
In fifth grade, Cohen invented an "alarm" clock that woke him by playing a prerecorded message. In high school, Cohen created an eye-tracking apparatus for neuroscience experiments to benefit the disabled, an electrochemical hard disk drive,[5] and a device that applies physics to allow his eye movements to maneuver his computer cursor.[8] He also invented and built a nanoscale patterning technique using an electrochemical scanning tunneling microscope in his bedroom, which led to winning the Westinghouse Science Talent Search.[9][10] For his dissertation at Stanford, Cohen invented the Anti-Brownian Electrokinetic trap, known as the ABEL trap, a machine capable of trapping and manipulating individual biomolecules in solution. His success in the Westinghouse competition led the then mayor of New York City, Rudy Giuliani, to declare March 12, 1997 "Adam Ezra Cohen Day."[11]
In 2012 Popular Science named Cohen one of the "Brilliant 10: the 10 most promising young scientists working today." In 2010 he won the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers under the Department of Defense.[1] and a NIH Director's New Innovator Award.[12] In 2007, he was named to the MIT Technology Review TR35 as one of the top 35 innovators in the world under the age of 35.[13][14] In high school, Cohen won the Westinghouse Science Talent Search, now Intel Science Talent Search, for an invention that involved building a scanning tunneling microscope in his bedroom.[9] He was also inducted into the National Gallery for America's Young Inventors for the same invention.
In 2014, he won the inaugural national Blavatnik National Award for Young Scientists, awarded by the Blavatnik Family Foundation and the New York Academy of Sciences to "celebrate America's most innovative and promising faculty-rank scientists and engineers.",[15][16]
Cohen, along with a fellow scientist Benjamin Rapoport, have visited Liberia working on science education. On their first trip in June 2009, the two toured the nation, while in 2010 they conducted an intensive training program at the University of Liberia that combined science basics, classroom teaching, laboratory techniques, and independent research.[17]

Ladies do you prefer when a man dresses swagged out (snapbacks, fresh sneakers, jewelry, etc) or do you prefer when they dress plain and simple?
Most Helpful Girl
If they're teenagers I think it's cool. If they're over 20 and still dress like that I think it's weird and that that type of fashion is too young for them.
I usually like guys who dress plain and simple.20|20|0

October 16th, 2007 by sabrina
Yesterday when I was running my errands, I decided to treat myself to some fresh flowers. They are sitting here right in front of me as I write this, and they inspired today's choice.
Flora is the Roman Goddess of flowers. Floralia, the festival held in her honor at the end of April, marked the renewal of the cycle of the year, the time when the flowers began to bloom again in Rome. It was celebrated with much dancing and revelry. Originally, Flora was the Goddess of flowering crops only, such as grains and fruit trees, but over time became associated with all flowering plants. Where she walks, flowers spring up. In one myth, she gives a magical flower to Juno, Queen of the Gods, which allowed her to conceive the God Mars without help from a man. Flora's name, logically, means "flower", and it has survived to this day as a synonym for all plant life; alternate names for her include Flora Rustica (Flora the Countrywoman or Flora of the Countryside), and Flora Mater (Flora the Mother).

Hang Seng Bank's solution to the UnionPay problem
Readers may recall that last year we had occasion to write extensively about HSBC's ATM card and the UnionPay fiasco. Today we are revisiting the story but it is Hang Seng Bank rather than HSBC which is the object of our interest.
The banks, under orders from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, were told that for security reasons the magnetic strip on older ATM cards should be replaced by a chip.
For reasons that are not entirely clear, the new chip cards were linked to one payment network while the older cards were linked to at least two payment networks. HSBC initially produced a new chip card which would only link to UnionPay, resulting in howls of anguish from customers who found they were unable to access their accounts when they tried to use the card outside Asia.
Indeed, there were reports of difficulties even in Asia. People were advised to link their Visa cards to one of their accounts, although this ploy often misfired as not all ATM machines could perform this task and people found themselves paying high interest rates. Eventually, HSBC announced it would produce a second ATM card employing a chip which accessed the Cirrus and Plus networks, and these seem to be working okay.
But we have recently heard from a reader with Hang Seng who complains that the bank's ATM card is only linked to the UnionPay network. When he complained about the well-known difficulties associated with UnionPay, the bank advised him to link his Visa card to one of his accounts, which as we know can be a hit and miss.
When we spoke to the bank we were told that customers who wanted access to Plus and Cirrus payments networks could apply for a Hang Seng Bank Alpha card, which has been in operation since 2006.
This is a spending card with ATM functions and is linked to a customer's designated Hong Kong dollar accounts. It can, the bank assures us, be used to conduct ATM transactions through MasterCard/Cirrus/HSBC networks around the world. To get the card, customers can visit Hang Seng branches or call the Hang Seng credit card service hotline.
Beware toxic clouds
We recently noted that officials from the Environment Bureau and possibly some legislative councillors are travelling to Europe to learn about experiences in developing and operating thermal waste treatment facilities. One of the British sites to be visited is the Lakeside Energy from Waste facility, which is a moving grate incinerator capable of handling 410,000 tonnes of municipal solid waste per year.
Hopefully, when the Hong Kong delegation visits the project they will not be subjected to a repeat of the incident that occurred in September last year when a toxic cloud with emissions some 2,000 per cent above World Health Organisation guidelines hovered above the facility and surrounding area for about eight hours.
The September incident was by far the most serious since the facility became fully operational in 2010. The facility is allowed to breach safe levels for 35 days a year under the local Air Quality Strategy objectives. The incident was the eighth breach of the year, although there have been 58 other less serious breaches since operations began.
The author of the famed Twitter handle Goldman Sachs Elevator (@GSElevator), an anonymous banker who tweeted crass and tasteless comments emanating from the world of finance, is reportedly seeking a book contract. According to New York Magazine, it has the working title of Straight to Hell: True Tales of Deviance and Excess in the World of Investment Banking. The author's book is to be a collection of stories which are written in the same vein as his tweets.
The website efinancialcareers.com has compiled a list of some of the better (and printable) tweets. They include: "Some chick asked me what I would do with 10 million bucks. I told her I'd wonder where the rest of my money went." "If you brag about starting at the bottom and making it to the top, you are probably still closer to the bottom." "'Just be yourself' is good advice to probably 5 per cent of people." "Tattoos aren't my thing. That'd be like putting a bumper sticker on a Lamborghini." "If there is a chick behind me, I always leave my receipt in the machine so she can see the balance."

My roommate was diagnosed with an anaphylactic nut allergy when she was three and as much as I love almonds, I like her more. When we moved in together, I knew I had to move away from chocolate-covered almonds and roasted cashews as regular snacks.
Being the easy-going, caring gal that she is, my roommate felt bad for making me give up nuts. While I knew the adjustment was going to be difficult, I told her it was no big deal and I'd just get creative with my snacking. Truth be told, the nut-free lifestyle isn't nearly as hard as it's cracked up to be.
The adjustment forced me to research and come up with modifications of my favourite foods so my roommate and I could still enjoy them (because who shouldn't taste the incredibleness that is Nutella?).
Here's a list of cult favourite foods that traditionally are made with nuts, without them, so you don't need to worry about an allergic reaction.
Pesto sauce
It's a fan favourite, but for someone with a nut allergy, it's a stab of epi and a trip to the hospital. Allergic reactions are scary sh*t but with this recipe, you can get the taste of pesto without the nuts, and without the scare.
Pad Thai
A lot of restaurants are really accommodating when you tell them you have a nut allergy. However, Asian cuisine restaurants can be particularly difficult because a lot of dishes use nuts as a main ingredient.
Luckily for you, relatively easy switches can be made to make a nut-free Pad Thai at home. Simply switch the peanut butter with tahini for the peanut sauce and omit the crushed peanuts as a garnish in this recipe or follow this recipe for a simple, peanut-free Pad Thai.
Peanut Butter
I am a peanut butter fanatic. I have been caught on too many occasions eating it straight from the jar with a spoon (or my finger, depending on my mood). For those allergic to peanuts, Wow Butter is a great option. Its creamy texture tastes so much like peanut butter you'll be saying, "wow, I can't believe this is peanut free." For an at-home option, this recipe is a simple substitute.
Nuts make great toppings for salads, a key ingredient in trail mixes, and a great addition to granola. Here's a list of great substitutes.
1. Seeds – sunflower, pumpkin, hemp, and flax seeds.
#SpoonTip: Put them in the toaster until they are golden brown.
2. Dried Fruit - cranberries and raisins. They make great substitutes in cookies and granola bars.
3. Pretzels - random, right? But don't judge it until you've tried it. Stick them in a ziplock, crush them, and use them as breading on chicken or as pie crust instead of crushed nuts.
4. Roasted nuts - beans (chickpeas, soy beans, etc.). Roast 'em, season 'em, and nosh on 'em like you would a bowl of roasted almonds.
For nut-lovers, living a nut-free life seems worse than Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake's infamous matching denim outfits, but I promise the transition is not nearly as bad. Now go eat your heart out.
Reminder: Foods made in a facility with nuts can cause an allergic reaction. Make sure all foods being used in these recipes are labeled: "Made in a peanut and nut-free facility."

Doctor from Staten Island wrote $2 million in bogus prescriptions (7/26/13)
| More |
Somehow sanctions didn't stop Dr. Zhanna Kanevsky from playing a key role in a $3.4 million prescription drug ring based in Brooklyn, said prosecutors.
Between January of last year and May of this year, Dr. Kanevsky, 52, wrote scripts valued at 2 million dollars. Also charged in the case were Grasmere resident Rostislav (Steve) Vilshteyn, 34, of Pamela Lane; Alla Kuratova, 49, of Brooklyn, and Emil Shumunov, 43, of South Amboy, N.J. The culprits recruited the bogus patients, said authorities.

Narrativizing baseball players through food.
Friends, winter has come. An entire set of Meetings in Nashville has been dedicated to ringing in the season. The air is cold, there is no baseball, and it is all we can do to keep ourselves occupied while trying not to be driven mad by the latest Ken Rosenthal rumor about Justin Upton, or Jon Heyman report on Zack Greinke. We are forgiven, then, for turning to food. After all, food is frequently warm, cooking it makes us busy, and it does not require the presence of baseballing men on our televisions or radios.
Which is not to say that food and baseball don't make a natural pair. A bite and a beer, both the eating and the acquiring, can ease the boredom of a slow fifth inning in a meaningless August blowout, particularly as the hot dogs in many ballparks have been supplemented by more upscale options and the available beers have expanded from the usual selection of Bud, Bud Light, Bud Lime, Bud Dark, Bud Plus, and Bud Unleaded. Still, when I say "upscale," I for the most part mean "hamburgers from Shake Shack instead of Carls Jr." As far as I know and have been able to Google, nobody's yet offering escargot in the mezzanine on the third-base side. What I would like to demonstrate for you, if you'll permit me, is that some classic dishes in French cuisine can provide a gateway to thinking about baseball and baseball players while simultaneously making you ravenous.

Episode 94: "The Perplexing Trade Value of R.A. Dickey and Billy Butler"
November 2, 2012 5:00 am
Should Sandy Alderson trade or extend two of the Mets' most valuable assets?
I have two distinct memories of April 29, 2009. One is that Jerry Manuel, then with the Mets, made the single worst managerial decision I've ever seen. The other is that what should have been a treat—a Mets fan then living in Boston treated to a rare nationally televised game in resplendent high definition—was somewhat soured by the commentary of then-ESPN analyst and former Mets GM Steve Phillips, whose aesthetically pleasing screen presence was overshadowed by the negative associations of his time with the team.
Late in the game, talk turned to Phillips' tenure as Mets general manager (which lasted from 1997-2003, or as I like to call it, forever). Phillips said some interesting things about having to learn to run an office and handle a large-market press corps and added a few other nuggets to remind us that being a GM would be much easier if it really were all spreadsheets and video. What he said next, though—a little side comment you've surely heard from your favorite team's general manager, star player, manager, or owner—has stuck with me ever since. This was over three years ago, so allow me to paraphrase somewhat:

Derek begins reviewing his pre-season predictions, starting with the ones that made him (and you) look good.
At the end of every season, I find it useful to go back and examine the predictions I made. What did I get right, and where did I go wrong? Today I'm going to look at some of my biggest hits. For each player, I've listed his mixed and AL/NL-only auction value in Tout Wars and LABR (only Tout has a mixed auction, but AL/NL-only values are an average of Tout and LABR) as well as his actual value for the 2012 season according to Last Player Picked. And of course, in the interest of fairness, I will be going through the same exercise for my worst predictions too. Also take note that I've excluded most of the "value picks" from my preseason tier articles, as they'll get their own review article.

R.A. Dickey will make his final start of the season tonight. You know how good he's been at retiring batters, but you might not know about something else he excels at.
R.A. Dickey, who makes his final start of the season this evening in Miami, doesn't lack for résumé bullet points to sway Cy Young voters. Unsatisfied to elevate his career at an age when most pitchers are heading out to pasture, Dickey has also elevated the standard to which knuckleballers can aspire. He leads the National League in strikeouts, innings pitched, complete games and shutouts. He has an ungodly 4.1 K/BB ratio. He's been one of the few bright spots on a Mets team that might be in last place without him. And fine, I'll say it: Dickey is the first Met to win 20 games since Frank Viola in 1990. He even offers enough charming human interest angles to fill several episodes of This American Life.
Allow me, then, to toss a molehill on top of that mountain of accomplishment: R.A. Dickey is doing a historically great job of holding runners on base. With agility, poise, and a deep understanding of the fundamentals—as well as some out-and-out flaunting of the rulebook, which we'll examine later—Dickey has overcome the highest possible degree of difficulty to not only hold his own against the running game, but become one of the very best in baseball at shutting it down. In 2012, only three qualified starters in all of baseball have allowed fewer stolen base attempts per stolen base opportunity than Dickey (defining "stolen base opportunity" as a man on first or second with the next base open). The average qualified starter has allowed 5.81 stolen base attempts per 100 opportunities this season. Dickey has allowed 1.85.

The fantasy team votes on the year's bests, worsts, and mosts.
With just three days left in the season, each member of the BP Fantasy team took the time to reflect on the year that was, casting their votes for a variety of categories. Today, I'll be handing out the fantasy fantasy hardware (that is, inconsequential awards for a derivative game). After seeing who we thought had the best, worst, and most interesting 2011 seasons, be sure to tell us who you think deserved some recognition in the comments section.

The song has been rendered by her sister, Tulsi Kumar. The track is from their yesteryear production, 'Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin' (1991).
Though the styling is distinct from the original song, the video has retained the white cap from the film starring Aamir Khan and Pooja Bhatt.

MDMA — or "molly" as today's youngsters call it — is a longtime club drug with some limited medical uses. It may gain a new legitimate use, as the Food and Drug Administration has okayed the last human trial of MDMA as a treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder, opening the door for possible approval down the road.

Brief Blackout On Carnival Ship Ecstasy; All Toilets Reportedly Functioning
By April 18, 2013
If no news is good news, then Carnival isn't having a lot of good news lately. Yet another of the cruise line's ships has experienced a power failure at sea, but at least this time passengers can use the bathroom facilities. The Ecstasy suffered just a brief blackout today, but even that was enough to get the buzz a'buzzin' in light of other recent incidents (cough, Poop Cruise, cough cough).

Schizophrenia and addiction are both chronic disorders with serious complications, consequences, and costs for individuals and society. Both conditions are associated with poor adherence to treatment and poorer outcomes when the co-occurring disorder is present.
Some of the symptoms of schizophrenia overlap with symptoms of intoxication, chronic use, or withdrawal from alcohol or other drugs. Family history and the temporal relationship of symptoms can help to distinguish patients with a substance use disorder (SUD) alone from co-occurring schizophrenia and SUD.
The psychiatric diagnoses, substance abuse and substance dependence, in DSM-IV-TR were replaced by one diagnosis, substance use disorder, in DSM-5 [1]. Although the crosswalk between DSM-IV and DSM-5 disorders is imprecise, substance dependence is approximately comparable to substance use disorder, moderate to severe subtype, while substance abuse is similar to the mild subtype.
The epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, course, assessment, and diagnosis of schizophrenia and substance use disorder are described here. Treatment of co-occurring schizophrenia and substance use disorder are described separately. The epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, course, assessment, diagnosis and treatment of schizophrenia occurring alone and substance use disorder occurring alone are also discussed separately. (See "Psychosocial interventions for co-occurring schizophrenia and substance use disorder" and "Schizophrenia in adults: Epidemiology and pathogenesis" and "Pharmacotherapy for schizophrenia: Acute and maintenance phase treatment" and "Schizophrenia in adults: Clinical manifestations, course, assessment, and diagnosis" and "Pharmacotherapy for schizophrenia: Side effect management" and "Opioid use disorder: Epidemiology, pharmacology, clinical manifestations, course, screening, assessment, and diagnosis" and "Cannabis use and disorder: Epidemiology, comorbidity, health consequences, and medico-legal status" and "Cannabis use and disorder: Clinical manifestations, course, assessment, and diagnosis" and "Risky drinking and alcohol use disorder: Epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, course, assessment, and diagnosis" and "Cocaine use disorder in adults: Epidemiology, pharmacology, clinical manifestations, medical consequences, and diagnosis".)
Prevalence — Epidemiologic studies have generally shown that the prevalence of substance use disorder (SUD) is elevated in persons with schizophrenia compared with the general population. As examples, in a study of substance use among 9142 individuals with severe psychotic disorders, including 5586 subjects with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, the odds of nicotine (smoking), alcohol, marijuana, and other drug use were higher (odds ratios = 3.5 to 4.6) in patients with psychosis compared with 10,195 nonpsychiatric controls [2]. Rates of substance use varied among subgroups based on age, gender, and race or ethnicity. Having a psychotic disorder further increased the odds of substance use in each subgroup. The lifetime prevalence of the DSM-IV-TR disorders substance abuse and substance dependence among patients with schizophrenia has been estimated to range from 47 to 59 percent in the United States (US), compared with 16 percent in the general population [3-5]. Differences between schizophrenia patients and normal controls in substance use may be diminished when the effects of low socioeconomic status (common among schizophrenia patients) is taken into account [6-14]. High rates of co-occurrence have also been observed internationally (eg, in Australia, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, England) [15]. Many with these co-occurring disorders used two or more substances.

It's August, so naturally I am posting about my patriotic decor from July {a few days late}. Want to know a secret about me? I'm not the blogger who decorates 4 months ahead so that I can blog about it early. :) I love when I start to see Christmas decor posts in September, but I honestly refuse to work that far ahead. I work in real time. Maybe that's against the blogging rules, but I figure, hopefully someone likes my … [Read more...]
July is right around the corner! Can you believe it!?!? It sneaks up on me every year! I'm excited to show you some great ideas from my friends for patriotic decor!

It's funny because it reminded me of my Barn Wood Advent Christmas Calendar, so I guess my likes are pretty predictable. :) I also posted about this … [Read more...]

I have a 13 month old who is currently using a First Years True Fit Elite car seat. I bought it because it seemed well-padded, all lined with safety foam, and has an anti-rebound bar. We are expecting a second baby and are on a tight budget these days. Our health insurance company provided a free Evenflo Titan 5 carseat. It seems fairly bare-bones-only foam in the head area, skimpy padding, no anti-rebound bar etc. I know that all car seats pass the same basic safety tests and who knows how much the side-impact claims are marketing or based in reality. So-I am struggling with whether to try to come up with the funds to buy another True Fit car seat or "downgrade" my daughter to the Evenflo carseat once the baby comes along. I guess the worst case scenario that came to mind was an accident in which the True Fit provided better protection and the other kid was not as safe. Phew-sorry for the long-winded scenario. Thoughts about balance between safety and frugality/living on a budget? Did you prioritize a bells and whistles car seat even while on a limited income or felt comfortable with a basic model?
Mama to L 5.12.10 ...Expecting another 1/1/12!
I never had a car set with all the bells and whistles.11 years ago when I got ds his car seat half the stuff today didn't exist. I'd say if you qualify for a FREE car seat take it. I always felt safe with my sons seat. Honestly I think car seats/baby stuff are like technology, the 'best' today is going to be outdated tomorrow by something else.

2017 the year of peace and tranquility.
I've never felt comfortable buying used car seats but I've never felt a need to buy a new one that is "top of the line" either.
We have an Evenflo and a Graco, both of which were under $80 at full price. I feel they are safe and have been happy with them. I'd take the free one and not worry about it too much.

thanks for the perspectives-I tried hard to approach baby gear from a perspective of utility, safety, and durability and ignore all of the marketing and conspicuous consumption/status with it. A car seat was the one place where I was afraid less expensive=less safe (I am paranoid about car accidents)
Mama to L 5.12.10 ...Expecting another 1/1/12!
Instinct tells me that having it properly installed is the #1 priority, even if that means having it inspected. After that, as long as the child is reasonable comfortable in it, I think you are good to go.
As long as it fits your child, your car and is installed correctly and used properly every time, the seat will be safe. If you are planning on using this seat with a newborn, I would just check in the Family Safety section to see if it fits newborns well or not (I can't remember). I have the TrueFit w/rebound bar for my DS2, and I know that they fit newborns really well.
A Titan is a fine seat and fits newborns well. The TrueFit fits newborns okay, but the shoulder straps are sometimes too wide for a brand new baby. I think I'd rather see the baby in the Titan.
We give Titans at our car seat clinics. I feel fine about sending kids away in them.
Single WAH mama to a fourteen-year-old girl.
My main concern safety wise was that the True Fit had EPP foam throughout the whole thing and the anti-rebound bar while the Titan only has foam in the head area and less padding. But, thank you for the feedback that if properly installed the Titan should be as good. Crazy that the carseat manufacturers like Britax can charge a fortune if the features they add don't add much safety wise. Good to remember that sticking within our financial means will be the best move long-term
Mama to L 5.12.10 ...Expecting another 1/1/12!
When I was looking at carseats, I asked the salesman, "Is there really that much difference between the least expensive and the most expensive carseats?"
He said, "In an accident are you going to wish you had the one that was just a little bit better?"
He certainly knew how to get me to buy the more expensive.
Created an instant family (7/89 and 5/91) in 1997. Made a baby boy 12/05 adopted a baby girl 8/08. Ask me about tandem adoptive nursing and living as gluten, dairy, and cane sugar free vegetarians. Homeschooling and loving it.
But more expensive doesn't mean better or more safe.
Single WAH mama to a fourteen-year-old girl.
I agree there are still good carseats that are less expensive....as long as they are fitting snugly and installed in safest way possible. The head is the most important part to protect - most new seats I've seen have styrofoam or something similar (instead of just straight hard plastic) behind the head. I'm not so worried about padding in other body parts (except under the bum b/c it's a PITA having an uncomfortable kids...but by no means a safety requirement! Why I liked the Britax marathon).
That said, I'm trying to live frugally and got sucked into getting a more expensive carseat (sunshine kids) so I could keep dd#1 who is forward facing in the middle back seat, and have the rear-facing infant (due this fall) sideboard (instead of both of them sideboard).
I'd consider where the seat fits and how it fits and be sure the try out the Evenflo in the car.
Or....how about taking the free seat...selling it...and then buying the one you like with the difference???????
I have a Cosco Scenera, yes the $40 seat. No bells, no whistles, but it's in there like a rock and it's pretty easy to adjust the straps. In the end, after 2 kids this is what is most important to me. Not technical aspects that may or may not make a difference in performance.
Any carseat that is installed and used properly is a safe carseat. I have always felt that basic models were perfectly safe. Add in a safe driver behind the wheel and I think you have the best possible combination.
Frugal, food growing mama to my four loves
Good to hear these perspectives-the general consensus I am hearing is that features like extra EPS foam and an anti-rebound bar aren't really proven to be safer and that the only features a more expensive carseat will get you is possibly more padding/easier straps. I guess I found with some other children's products the cheapest items usually didn't last as long/were flimsier but it sounds like car seats are abit more standardized.So basically the expensive car seat manufacturers have pushed their seats as safer and added $200 to the cost! Tha tbeing said, side-by-side the True Fit is a more comfortable seat with nice features like no re-thread harness. But, the Evenflo Titan seat is free so that will probably be what I go with.

Well, mostly.
The Titan rear-faces to 35# and forward-faces to 40#, and will likely be outgrown forward-facing by height well before 40#. Most of the "expensive" seats have higher capacity both rear- and forward-facing. So while you *are* paying for plushness and features, you're also paying for a seat that will last considerably longer. That may make the higher price worth it to some parents. But it certainly doesn't make the Titan (or Tribute, or Scenera, or Avenue, or other budget seat) any less SAFE to use as long as it fits -- it just means that you'll need to plan for another seat down the road. (However, by the time your baby outgrows the Titan, your older child will probably be ready for a booster, and you can just move baby into the TrueFit.)

Lintas Media Group (LMG) Delhi has been awarded media mandate for Jindal Stainless Group, the flagship company of the $10 billion multi-product, multi-location OP Jindal Steel conglomerate. The account size is pegged at Rs 25 crore. This is the first time that Jindal Stainless has hired a media agency.
The creative account is being handled by Bates David Enterprise. Noshe Oceanic was the incumbent creative agency.
The Jindal Stainless assignment would include media business for the brands of the Group and its subsidiaries – Arc, which is into modular kitchens and steel furniture, and Artd'inox, a premium lifestyle brand, besides other group brands.
Giving the reason for choosing LMG, NC Mathur, Director-Corporate Affairs, Jindal Stainless, said, "Lintas Media Group best understood our business and needs."
Commenting on the win, VS Mani, Senior VP & GM, LMG, said, "It is always nice when clients repose their faith in you. The team is looking forward to a lot of good and challenging work."
Senior sources close to the development said that the agency would be handling all ATL and BTL activities for the Group, besides media buying and planning.
The Jindal Stainless win follows the recent moving back of the Luxor account to the LMG fold, which had shifted to Dentsu earlier. Lintas Media Group's current roster of clients includes Maruti Udyog, Bharat Petroleum, Bajaj Auto, ITC, UTI, MRF, Saint Gobain, Enamor, Revlon, and Idea Cellular, among others.
