Stay in great shape, even through the off-season. Being physically fit includes knowing about nutrition, staying healthy, and not overworking your body before big games. Practice the basics, over and over, especially targeting skills related to your position. Become a super-specialist, and you'll always find your place on an athletic team. Keep your eyes on the ball, and sacrifice your body if you must, but don't drop the ball.
Watch the ball all the way into your hands, and get a good initial grip. Your sixth sense needs to be developed to stay aware of other players at the same time. Follow the advice that college coaches give you, and it will make a big difference in how you play. That's because most college coaching staff were star players at some point in their careers.

Students who are considering applying via early decision should be aware of the rules and obligations that this commitment entails.

Stories From Africa
By WILLIAM PEDEN
By Nadine Gordimer.
native of South Africa, where she still lives, Nadine Gordimer has published several of her stories in American magazines (The New Yorker, Harper's, The Virginia Quarterly). This is her first published volume, and her debut is an exciting one. Miss Gordimer is very young--in her early twenties, according to her publishers--and very talented.
All of these stories have South Africa as their setting. Miss Gordimer possesses a keen eye, a sharp car and a devastating sense of smell. Place is an important element in her fiction: she is, however, no limited local colorist. Her primary concern is with specific individuals--an Indian fisherman, Johannesburg medical student, expatriated concession shopkeeper--who embody universal traits.
Most of Miss Gordimer's characters are faced with the problem of making dubious compromises between their rights as individuals and their responsibilities as members of society. The author sees life as a battleground for, on its most obvious level, the warfare of the classes. Some of her best work depicts the results of this warfare: ''The Catch,'' a story of a native fisherman and a city couple who at first admire him, later patronize him, and finally repudiate him; or ''Ah, Woe Is Me,'' an account of a serving woman's unsuccessful struggle to raise her children above the level of moral and social serfdom.
Many of Miss Gordimer's remaining stories mirror the hostility--uneasing, though seldom openly declared--between individuals: between man and woman, between parent and child, between intellectual and Philistine. She writes with discipline and moderation, unusual for so young an author; she avoids extremes of both subject-matter and method. Concerned with suggesting the essence of personality, she avoids the excesses of psychoanalytic writers. She possesses considerable social awareness, but only one or two of her stories become blatant social protests.
In her book her people are frightened, unsure of themselves, separated by individual, economic and social differences. They need understanding, not hatred or indifference. Many of them find it. The author's sympathetic treatment of human shortcomings and her belief in the dignity of simple people is refreshing and reassuring.

Salmon Burger Recipe
Easy grilled salmon burger recipe for ground and smoked salmon stuffed with cream cheese, chives, and garlic. Are you drooling yet? Try it and tell us what you think at the bottom of this page.
Grilled Smoked Salmon Burger Recipe
Ingredients (Serves 6)
Time: Under 30 Minutes
If smoked salmon is too pricey for you then skip this ingredient and up the salmon fillet to 2 pounds.
Grilling Instructions
1. Preheat the grill as follows:
Direct heat, medium-high
(425 - 450 degrees F)
Direct heat, light ash, grate should be on lowest setting
Direct heat, light ash, 3 - 4 inches deep, grate should be 2 inches above the fire
2. Chop the salmon fillet by hand rather than in a food processor so that it doesn't turn to mush. It should be fine enough that it clings to itself.
In a large bowl, mix together the chopped salmon fillet, smoked salmon ends, garlic, salt, pepper, onion, chives, and the juice from two of you lemon wedges. Don't overmix. With a light touch, form into 12 patties no more than 1/2 inch thick.
Place equal amounts of herb garlic cream cheese in the middle of 6 of the salmon burger patties, place remaining 6 patties on top, press together, and seal edges well. This will keep the cheese from oozing out onto your grill and making a mess during the grilling process. Refrigerate them until the grill is ready.
3. Clean and liberally oil grill grate. Grill salmon burger patties, covered, 8 minutes total, flipping once halfway through.
4. Remove your burgers from the grill once they are at your desired level of doneness.
5. Allow them to rest a few minutes before serving to let the juices settle.
6. These smoked salmon burgers don't need a lot of toppings because they are so full of flavor. They taste great topped with just lettuce and tomatoes. Try 'em with a side of our grilled asparagus.

Your Health: Health and radiation
Many down to earth Dutch will frown in surprise if you ask them seriously whether they think radiation can make you ill. Perhaps, after some hesitation, they will answer: "Well, it might, if you live under a high voltage cable..." And yet there are many thousands of people in The Netherlands who will confirm from personal experience that radiation can cause sickness. Or in other words, who have health problems that they themselves associate with the presence and/or use of mobile phones, transmission masts, computers, fluorescent lights, home appliances and otherwise.
The most frequent health problems range from itching, dizziness and headaches, to skin rashes, abdominal pain, (chronic) fatigue and insomnia. Sceptics, however, assume that imagination plays an important role in the development of these complaints and talk about a "nocebo effect". This is the opposite of the placebo effect: causing symptoms instead of curing them.
Radiation is no imagination
The picture that has emerged in recent years is pretty much that of scientists squabbling with each other about the yes or no to possible harm caused by radiation. But one thing remains uncontested: the existence of electromagnetic radiation is most certainly no imagination. Without this radiation our wireless controlled devices simply would not work. Even wired electrical devices such as PCs, alarm clocks, fluorescent tubes, and the like, can distribute an electromagnetic field. It is just that with wireless devices we are more aware of the radiation, because we experience how it goes through walls and windows, which makes it easy to imagine it going through your body too.
The key question, however, remains: Can radiation make you ill? Research shows that there is no clear answer. In fact: many studies contradict each other. And yet we can discern a clear tendency, which is that governments and other agencies increasingly initiate or participate in the research of radiation. While the official story remains that we definitely should not worry and can all sleep peacefully at night, behind the scenes researchers are feverishly looking for evidence that contradicts the harmful effects of radiation, or rather proves them. In the meantime the amount of radiation around us is steadily increasing, as well as the number of people who report health problems related to radiation. So for the institutions who monitor our health this apparently remains a cause for concern.
Floww keeps you informed
Floww International shares this concern and aims to inform everyone as transparently as possible about new insights from ongoing and future research. Therefore both studies on radiation, as well as research into the effects of Floww® Health Technology will be published on this website (see 'Research'). If you want to be informed more directly about new publications on research and other radiation-related developments, follow us on Twitter and Facebook
Health problems
For the sake of completeness, we will list the most frequent, possibly radiation-related health problems below (in random order):
- Chronic fatigue
- Stress
- Itching
- Headaches
- Ringing in the ears
- Abdominal pain
- Skin rash
- Difficulty concentrating
- Lethargy
- Hyperactivity (ADHD)
- Psychological problems
- Vertigo, nausea
- General discomfort

Yes or no? And if you did, how did you find out that Santa does not exist?
sort by best latest
I believe in Santa Claus. I can't see why I shouldn't if people can believe in the existence of God.
Since I'm a practitioner of Wicca I believe in all kinds of mythical beings so Santa Claus is right up there with the rest.
I am not sure about Santa in a physical sense. But the concept and the spirit is real. Who wouldn't feel it during X'mas.
Yup Still do LOL! Who does not? If I didn't why would my kids?
yeah sure, until I was 6 and set traps ;)
Of Course, but I'm not so sure about "Flying Reindeer"
Remember the Santa film, it went to court to prove whether he exists or not. The jusdge was about to rule against Santa, when someone said look at the dollar bill, it says 'in God we trust' , if it's good enough for the Govt to believe in something they havent yet proven then its good enough for Santa.
I believe....

You may be able to get school credit based on your knowledge or life experiences, allowing you to manage your course work in order to reduce costs. If academically possible, take more credit classes each semester, reducing the amount of time needed to graduate.

This clinical study was conducted to investigate the safety and effect of D-psicose on postprandial blood glucose levels in adult men and women, including borderline diabetes patients. A randomized doubleblind placebo-controlled crossover experiment of single ingestion was conducted on 26 subjects who consumed zero or 5 g of D-psicose in tea with a standard meal. The blood glucose levels at fasting and 30, 60, 90, and 120 min after the meal were compared. The blood glucose level was significantly lower 30 and 60 min after the meal with D-psicose (p < 0:01, p < 0:05), and a significant decrease was also shown in the area under the curve (p < 0:01). The results suggest that D-psicose had an effect to suppress the postprandial blood glucose elevation mainly in borderline diabetes cases. A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled parallelgroup experiment of long-term ingestion was conducted on 17 normal subjects who took 5 g of D-psicose or D-glucose with meals three times a day for 12 continuous weeks. Neither any abnormal effects nor clinical problems caused by the continuous ingestion of D-psicose were found.

A number of previous studies have reported that 30-50% of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) harbor Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) mutations, which is a major predictive biomarker of resistance to epidermal growth factor (EGFR)-targeted therapy. Treatment with an anti-EGFR inhibitor is recommended for patients with KRAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). A recent retrospective study of cetuximab reported that patients with KRAS p.G13D mutations had better outcomes compared with those with other mutations. The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the prevalence of KRAS p.G13D mutations and evaluate the effectiveness of cetuximab in mCRC patients with KRAS p.G13D or other KRAS mutations. We reviewed the clinical records of 98 mCRC patients with KRAS mutations who were treated between August, 2004 and January, 2011 in four hospitals located in Tokyo and Kyushu Island. We also investigated KRAS mutation subtypes and patient characteristics. In the patients who received cetuximab, univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to assess the effect of KRAS p.G13D mutations on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Of the 98 patients, 23 (23.5%) had KRAS p.G13D-mutated tumors, whereas 75 (76.5%) had tumors harboring other mutations. Of the 31 patients who received cetuximab, 9 (29.0%) had KRAS p.G13D mutations and 22 (71.0%) had other mutations. There were no significant differences in age, gender, primary site, pathological type, history of chemotherapy, or the combined use of irinotecan between either of the patient subgroups. The univariate analysis revealed no significant difference in PFS or OS between the patients with KRAS p.G13D mutations and those with other mutations (median PFS, 4.5 vs. 2.8 months, respectively; P=0.65; and median OS, 15.3 vs. 8.9 months, respectively; P=0.51). However, the multivariate analysis revealed a trend toward better PFS among patients harboring p.G13D mutations (PFS: HR=0.29; 95% CI: 0.08-1.10; P=0.07; OS: HR=0.23; 95% CI: 0.04-1.54; P=0.13). In conclusion, treatment with cetuximab may be more clinically beneficial in mCRC patients with a KRAS p.G13D mutation, compared with those harboring other mutations. However, further investigation is required to clearly determine the benefits of cetuximab treatment in patients with KRAS p.G13D mutation-positive mCRC.

Vascular calcification, a pathologic response to defective calcium and phosphate homeostasis, is strongly associated with cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. In this study, we have observed that pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4) is upregulated and pyruvate dehydrogenase complex phosphorylation is increased in calcifying vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and in calcified vessels of patients with atherosclerosis, suggesting that PDK4 plays an important role in vascular calcification. Both genetic and pharmacological inhibition of PDK4 ameliorated the calcification in phosphate-treated VSMCs and aortic rings and in vitamin D3-treated mice. PDK4 augmented the osteogenic differentiation of VSMCs by phosphorylating SMAD1/5/8 via direct interaction, which enhances BMP2 signaling. Furthermore, increased expression of PDK4 in phosphate-treated VSMCs induced mitochondrial dysfunction followed by apoptosis. Taken together, our results show that upregulation of PDK4 promotes vascular calcification by increasing osteogenic markers with no adverse effect on bone formation, demonstrating that PDK4 is a therapeutic target for vascular calcification.

A positive-deviance control-case life history study of injection drug users (IDUs) in New York City who had injected drugs for 8-15 years compared 21 IDUs who were antibody negative for both HIV and hepatitis C with 3 infected with both viruses and 11 infected with hepatitis C virus but not HIV. Eligible subjects were referred from other research studies and from community organizations that conduct testing for HIV and hepatitis C virus. Data were collected during 2005-2008 and were analyzed using life history and grounded theory approaches. They support grounded hypotheses that IDUs who are able to attain symbiotic goals like avoiding withdrawal and maintaining social support are assisted thereby in remaining uninfected with HIV or hepatitis C. These hypotheses should be tested using cohort studies and prevention trials to see if helping IDUs attain symbiotic goals reduces infection risk. The study's limitations are noted. © 2011 Informa Healthcare USA, Inc.

The main determinant of glioblastoma (GBM) resistance to temozolomide (TMZ) is thought to be O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), which is a DNA-repair enzyme that removes alkyl groups from the O6-position of guanine. Previously, we reported that a MGMT-siRNA/cationic liposome complex exerted a clear synergistic antitumor effect in combination with TMZ. Translation to a clinical setting might be desirable for reinforcing the efficacy of TMZ therapy for GBM. In this study, we aim to evaluate the safety of MGMT-siRNA/cationic liposome complexes and determine whether the convection-enhanced delivery of these complexes is suitable for clinical use by undertaking preclinical testing in laboratory animals. No significant adverse events were observed in rats receiving infusions of MGMT-siRNA/cationic liposome complex directly into the brain with or without TMZ administration. A pig which received the complex administered by CED also showed no evidence of neurological dysfunction or histological abnormalities. However, the complex did not appear to achieve effective distribution by CED in either the rat or the porcine brain tissue. Considering these results together, we concluded that insufficient distribution of cationic liposomes was achieved for tumor treatment by CED.

New York City experienced the first and largest HIV epidemic among injecting drug users (IDUs). Using data collected from IDUs entering the Beth Israel drug detoxification program, we trace the history of this epidemic from the mid-1970s through the early 2000s. The epidemic can best be described in terms of successive stages: (1) introduction and rapid transmission of HIV in the IDU population; (2) stabilization of HIV prevalence at a high level (over 50%); (3) a decline in incidence and prevalence, following large-scale implementation of syringe exchange programs; and (4) a sexual transmission phase, in which HIV prevalence is approximately equal among injecting and noninjecting heroin and cocaine users, and sexual transmission is more important than injecting-related transmission among IDUs. Given the current spread of HIV among IDUs in many places in the world, New York City provides a very strong example for implementation of large-scale comprehensive syringe exchange programs as early as possible in HIV epidemics among IDUs. © 2011 Informa Healthcare USA, Inc.

Protein phosphorylation and post-phosphorylation events regulate many cellular signaling pathways. Peptidyl-prolyl isomerase (Pin1) is the only peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase that interacts with numerous oncogenic or tumor suppressive phosphorylated proteins, causes conformational changes in target proteins, and eventually regulates the activities of such proteins. These alterations in activity play a pivotal role in tumorigenesis. Since Pin1 is overexpressed and/or activated in various types of cancers, and the dysregulation of proline-directed phosphorylation contributes to tumorigenesis, Pin1 represents an attractive target for cancer therapy. This review will describe the role of Pin1 in cancer and the current status of Pin1 inhibitor development.

A double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of ingesting an excess of tablets containing casein hydrolysate, incorporating angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides such as Val-Pro-Pro (VPP) and Ile-Pro-Pro (IPP), in subjects with blood pressure ranging from normal to mild hypertension. A total of 48 subjects were given either 5 times more than the effective amount of casein hydrolysate or a placebo in tablet form for 4 weeks. In the active group, systolic blood pressure (SBP) decreased significantly as compared with the placebo group. In stratified analysis, however, this antihypertensive effect was not found in normotensive subjects. In addition, neither an acute or nor an excessive reduction in blood pressure nor clinically important adverse events were observed in this study. These findings suggest that intake of a 5-fold excess of tablets containing casein hydrolysate can lead to a mild improvement in hypertension without side effects.

Background Puerto Rican drug users recruited in NY who previously used drugs in Puerto Rico (PR) have been found to have higher HIV injection and sex-related risk behaviors than those who had not used in PR. This study examined predictors of risk among migrant Puerto Rican drug users. (For the purpose of this paper, the term "migrant" was used to designate Puerto Rican drug users who had used drugs in Puerto Rico and were recruited in New York or New Jersey). Methods A total of 290 drug users who had previously used drugs in PR were recruited in NY and New Jersey and interviewed regarding drug use history and HIV risk behaviors. Results Participants engaged in high risk behaviors, e.g., 39% shared injection paraphernalia and 62% reported unprotected sex. Multivariate analyses found that predictors of injection-related risk included being born in PR and purchasing drugs jointly with other drug users; predictors of sex-related risk included younger age and homelessness. Discussion Addressing risk reduction among those drug users who were born in Puerto Rico and are younger or homeless was indicated, and efforts to reach those at highest risk through NEPs was recommended. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2009.

The mitochondrial pool of Hsp90 and its mitochondrial paralogue, TRAP1, suppresses cell death and reprograms energy metabolism in cancer cells; therefore, Hsp90 and TRAP1 have been suggested as target proteins for anticancer drug development. Here, we report that the actual target protein in cancer cell mitochondria is TRAP1, and current Hsp90 inhibitors cannot effectively inactivate TRAP1 because of their insufficient accumulation in the mitochondria. To develop mitochondrial TRAP1 inhibitors, we determined the crystal structures of human TRAP1 complexed with Hsp90 inhibitors. The isopropyl amine of the Hsp90 inhibitor PU-H71 was replaced with the mitochondria-targeting moiety triphenylphosphonium to produce SMTIN-P01. SMTIN-P01 showed a different mode of action from the nontargeted PU-H71, as well as much improved cytotoxicity to cancer cells. In addition, we determined the structure of a TRAP1-adenylyl-imidodiphosphate (AMP-PNP) complex. On the basis of comparative analysis of TRAP1 structures, we propose a molecular mechanism of ATP hydrolysis that is crucial for chaperone function.

Its offices closed in 2008, but the Brigham and Women's Primary Care Associates at Norwood have officially returned.
Its offices closed in 2008, but the Brigham and Women's Primary Care Associates at Norwood have officially returned.
Practice Manager Kate Donovan said years ago there was a center at 111 Morse St. That facility closed when one opened in Foxborough. On June 13 this changed.
"With the need of primary care being so great, we decided to reopen our Norwood office," Donovan said.
Donovan said the practice, at 315 Norwood Park South, will maintain the quality of care associated with Brigham and Women's.
"For a lot of people, the name Brigham and Women's sets the standard of phenomenal care, and that is really what we are going to give here," Donovan told the Norwood Transcript and Bulletin on July 24. "For patients, there is tremendous security in knowing that we are part of that system, with access to all the resources it can bring to bear."
Patient first
Through a model of team-based care, Brigham and Women's Primary Care Associates at Norwood plans to put the patient first, Donovan said.
"The patient is at the center of everything we are doing," Donovan said. "Our great physicians each lead a team of equally talented staff, all dedicated to continuously communicating with each other so as to keep what's best for the patient and the patient's family squarely in the center of our sights."
The practice follows the Virginia Mason model of care. Medical doctors, medical assistants, licensed practical nurses and administrative assistants all work out of one workstation, rather than from separate offices.
"It's sort of a collaborative effort," Donovan said. "It's really team-based care. You have a team working for the patient together."
Each member of the team interacts with the patient in some fashion, be it by answering a phone call or seeing them in one of the center's 12 exams rooms or three consult rooms. The consult rooms will also be where patients can meet with a specialist.
"Once we're fully up and running, we're going to have a variety of specialists join our team to round out to the patient care center," Donovan said. Specialists include a nutritionist and a social worker.
"We want to meet as many of our patients' needs right here in the practice, and want these skilled professionals on our care teams so their input and collaboration improves patient outcomes and their experience with our care," she said.
The specialists would probably be shared with other Brigham and Women's locations. Donovan said the Norwood practice could refer patients in need of other specialists at the other sites.
Other features
Brigham and Women's is a teaching hospital. In the future, the Primary Care Associates at Norwood will become a teaching site. Donovan said the plan is to have residents on site in 2013.
The practice plans to also offer group visits. Patients with similar conditions, such as high blood pressure, will be given the opportunity to come in for a one-on-one visit with their doctor followed by a large group session with 10 to 15 other patients.
"They can talk with other patients with a like diagnosis and see their doctor at the same time," Donovan said. "Patients love these sessions, and find that they can learn a tremendous amount from each other about how to manage common diagnoses," noting group sessions were first implemented successfully at Brigham and Women's at Newton Corner.
Currently, there are three doctors operating out of the Primary Care Associates at Norwood, with a fourth joining the team in August. The doctors are Medical Director Dr. Donna Michelson, Dr. Mary Hohenhaus, Dr. Radha Akkinepalli and Dr. Mitchell Medow. Medow joins the staff later this month.
All four doctors have the ability to book new patients. Those interested can call Primary Care Associates at 857-307-3900. More information is available at www.brighamandwomens.org/norwood.

Of the many catalogs that clog my mailbox, my favorite by far is the quarterly Ikea tome. I've learnt ...
Of the many catalogs that clog my mailbox, my favorite by far is the quarterly Ikea tome. I've learnt so much (and bought so little!) from its glossy, stark pages. For instance, when I'm next in Stockholm (no doubt checking out a Svek Records showcase), I'll be able to converse in faltering Ikean Swedish. I'll be able to discuss how much joy I get from my five-inch tall Snorra Kanin (or "plush bunny," in our vernacular). But I'll never learn the correct equivalent of "lovingly crafted," "expertly finished," or "lifetime guarantee." This upsets me because I would love to describe Richard Davies' raw, predictably over-achieving new album in the resilient language of home decorating. But though Barbarians arrives in flat packaging, no assembly is required.
Davies and his band have abandoned the polished production of 1998's Telegraph in favor of a live-sounding, plug-and-play ambience. Here, Davies provides critics with yet more reasons to throw laurels his way, and still further incentive for the public to ignore his obvious talents.
Like the Loud Family's Scott Miller, Davies makes songwriting seem a complete doddle. Whereas less talented songwriters might crowd a song with clunky lyrics and noodly melodic digressions, Barbarians showcases Davies' effortless ability to extract straightforward hooks from guitar strings, with no extraneous nonsense to get in the way.
Despite the fact that Barbarians never provides an ear-melting classic like Telegraph's "Canteen," I'm more than satisfied bugging out to the dominating echo that becomes a melody during the flawless "Palo Alto," or the twanged and cracked arpeggios of the album's opener, "Coldest Day." "The Kiss Off" exhibits paisley influences with a bassline that recalls the Incredible String Band's lysergic hey-nonney-no. And who could not be impressed with "May," a song so striking it could have been part of Tim Buckley's Dream Letter set?
When I saw Davies perform in a tiny D.C. club, he filled the room with his panache. He didn't need to fall back on studio trickery. Up on the slightly raised stage, he flaunted his gift and his unmistakable love of music. Barbarians is a wake-up call to all those who labor in studios for a unique, fuzzing guitar sound. If your songwriting goes to eleven like Richard Davies' does, you just need to be heard, and certainly do not deserve to be left on the prefabricated chip-board of under-appreciation.

How is it free?
Please also note that some call providers impose a cap to free bundled minutes when a call reaches a specific duration. So in the same way as calling a national rate 01 or 02 number with your 'free' minutes, you may be charged for calling the WHYPAY? number once your call reaches a certain call duration (typically over 1 hour). Many UK providers allow you to hang up and re-dial once you reach this point in order to avoid being charged.
Check your providers terms and conditions regarding your 'bundled' or 'free' minutes, as some 'free' minutes will still incur charges once you reach a given call duration.
WHYPAY? can provide this service to you, because we receive a small outpayment from BT for each conference call. WHYPAY? was established by Call Collective Ltd. and was created as a way of giving something back to the telecoms industry.
Click here to find out more about Call Collective.
people Conference rooms
Your speed dial number will look something like this:
If you create an account, you can also download a unique calendar event for each of your scheduled conference rooms, which will contain all the details you need to make the call. You can even dial straight in from your calendar on most smartphones!
settings_phone Setting up a conference call
Simply click on the Create Account button after generating your conference. The invitation email includes a calendar attachment, allowing you and your participants to store the conference details on your calendar. You can even dial straight in to your conference room from the attached calendar event on most smartphones.
NB: if you have free calls to landlines, please check with your communications provider if there are time limit constraints (e.g. some providers put a time limit of 1 hour on free calls - if this is the case, we would advise to hang up the call at 59 minutes and dial back in to count as a new call).
security Security
When accessing the website, it is done through a secure connection which means any data sent to and from the website cannot be intercepted by a third-party. If you choose to record your conference call, this is secured as the conference room organiser chooses who is able to access the recording when setting the room up.
language International access
If international callers dial our 03 number, the same applies, and they will have to check with their network for the exact charges.
International access number:
+44 84 5578 5578
UK charge: The cost of dialling our 0845 number from a UK network is 7ppm plus your phone company's access charge. Calls made from outside of the UK would be subject to call charges levied by the originating overseas telecommunications provider. Please use our 03 number if dialling from a UK network.
NB: If you're having trouble accessing WHYPAY? using both the 03 and 08 access number, please dial +44 18454 18454. Again, charges for calling this number from outside the UK will depend on the originating network provider.
The 01 number will NOT work if dialled from within the UK and offers no cost saving over calling our 03 number.
International Callers:
Remember, you will need to use the UK access codes recognised by your network provider. For example many networks in the United States require that you use '011' (US exit code), followed by '44' (UK entry code), followed by the number you wish to call.
Check your network provider's website or contact them directly to get the relevant access codes, and don't forget that you need to remove the zero from the beginning of a UK number if dialling in from outside the UK.
stars Features
Call recordings are available for 7 days from the time each conference call is made. This is due to data storage constraints.
When you turn on call recording you can also specify the email addresses of the individuals you wish to receive recordings. You can edit this list as time goes on. Note that only the individuals who are one your call recordings list when a conference call is made, will have access the the recording of that conference call.

A haunting, grim electronic version of "To Love Somebody" by Billy Corgan, featuring Robert Smith of The Cure. It was released in his solo album, The Future Embrace.
Nina Simone recorded and released it as a single in 1969. The tempo and beat in the studio version is more similar to Bee Gees version, but in this live performance, she slowed it down into a gorgeous soul-ballad.
It's a full-disco version by Moulin Rouge (Alvin Fields, Stephanie Spruill, Julia Tillman and Lorna M. Willard) for their 1979 self titled LP.
See the Cover Versions in Part 3 (Gallon Drunk, Dusty Springfield, Busty Brown and the Upsetters, P.P. Arnold)

12 user reviews of SP-10 by Squier
The only great aspect of this amp is the fact it's so small and light you can easily carry it on a regular backpack, but still there are plenty of better amps as portable as the SP-10.
I cannot really say if I would get it again as it was an impulse buy for 99p.
The lack of amp settings make it very hard to find a unique tone, and because of it's cheap quality...
It was designed for use by those just staring out playing guitar who don't know a whole lot yet.
My overall impression for it is good. It just needs a better preamp.
It has some durability issues, but that can be prevented simply by re-locating the feet and being careful with the...
The sound on clean is fantastic, and at high volumes the in-built overdrive is fine.
When I have enough spare money I will probably buy another mush better amp since I have gotten better and...
For $80.00 I'm not disappointed, but I will be going back to see Bobby and get a replacement for those...
This is the kind of amp you buy with no knowledge at all about guitar and you would probobly think...
Not good enough really even for a beginner.
Pair it with a Bad Dog Distorter on clean and using the pedals distortion, then it is ok..

... will likely appeal to a lot more people than the Model S, due to the much lower projected price of the Model E. As much as I would love to own a Model S, it is only going to show up in my garage if I win the lottery, and that is less likely than being hit by lightning.
This new, cheaper model should lead to greatly-increased sales for Tesla:
There are good images of it available on the internet. It's a good looking car, but definitely designed aesthetically for the Buick crowd. Personally, I'd like to get one of their (no longer produced) sports cars.
By the way, I like Buick styling. That was intended as a comment only on Tesla's apparent target demographic.
Go Tesla!!!! {
Still can't go to Albuquerque for a day of shopping or a doctor appointment and come home again.There'd have to be a recharge station there to plug in while we're at the doctors ot the olive Garden.
Home to Albuquerque is 140 miles one way plus all the miles in and around the big city before returning home.
Hopefully....If they bring the Tesla battery factory here they will also outfit the city for the assumed influx of Tesli. There is already a Tesla charging station here in Gallup. The car would work on a local level.
I don't understand how Tesla's new factory making the same lithium batteries will be able to do it for a fraction of the current cost. What I've read has said a major cost drop in batteries will require a different chemistry, not just a bigger plant.
Mass production and increased demand ... perhaps ?Remember when a good Fischer VCR was $ 500.00 ?
I guess, but there are dozens of very modern factories all over the world mass producing lithium batteries. Just hope the low cost isn't the result of tax breaks or subsidies, rather than innovation.
Oh, and what's this "VCR" thing you mentioned?
Our entire economic history, including much of its innovation has been underlain by things like tax breaks and subsidies. The fact that certain ideologies say this shouldn't be the case doesn't change the fact that it is the case. That said, I have no idea where Teslas actual savings on battery production are coming from. But often the economy of scale savings do come from shaving pennies everyplace you can rather than major changes. Major changes can obviously be game changers. But in absence of that penny shaving is quite important.
@texases, the new battery factory will have more production capacity than all other current plants combined, so it will more than double production capacity, and that has to have some effect on price I would think.
I'm sure it'll make them cheaper. But a major cost drop is required. The battery on the Model S costs around $50,000. So a battery on a $33,000 car would have to cost a small fraction of the current battery. I've not read anything that explains how they'll cut costs by, say, 80%. Just a bigger plant won't do it.
This article says their goal is a 30% price drop in the first year of battery production, and a car half the price of a Model S.
I find Tesla to be a very interesting business case in the process of evolving. Since they took a very unique approach to EV design, and since they solved critical problems with the technology, but used an existing platform to build the vehicle on, I originally suspected that their plan was to sell the technology. Turns out that I was wrong. Their goal is to be a car manufacturer. Even in that they've chosen a completely new and unique business model for that industry.
I like these guys. They're building new technologies and business models and thinking for themselves. The industry needs that kind of innovation, that kind of "clean slate" thinking. I hope they succeed. And I think other manufacturers will apply variations of Tesla's technology in their own designs. I think they already are. I don't know if Lithium Ion battery technology would have progressed to where it can be successfully used in EVs were it not for Tesla's work in solving the heat management problems and the "cascading failure" problems that existed.
If you didn't see the report on 60 Minutes last night about Elon Musk and his companies (SpaceX and Tesla), then you missed a good bit of information.
Here is a young guy who didn't let his early failures keep him from persisting, and that persistence led to the success of both companies. In addition to being a visionary, Musk can serve as an inspiration to other young people who may also have worthwhile ideas that need to be developed.
While I am not a fan of watching videos online, you can probably find this report on the websites for 60 Minutes or CBS News, or...most likely...on YouTube. Trust me--it's very interesting!
I'll look for it.I generally avoid "newsmagazine programs", but this one sounds worth watching.
It was informative, but avoided any discussion of issues, like the 'rich boy toy' aspect of his $100k cars, the fact that EVs fueled from coal fired power plants are no better than regular hybrids regarding CO2, and the impact that EV credits paid by other makers have on his bottom line. I love the technology, but it's not at all obvious that it'll be a major solution to our transportation needs.
Yeah, it's worth watching. Musk is an amazing guy. What he's done with SpaceX is even more impressive than Tesla. His degree was in physics, but he basically taught himself aerospace engineering and is "chief designer" of the Falcon 9 rocket and the Dragon capsule now resupplying the Space Station for NASA. The guy is utterly brilliant.
It's true that it's not right not to call them "clean" just because the tailpipe has (usually) moved to someplace else. But the MPG equivalent of an electric blows away the straight ICEs and hybrids. So they are already "cleaner" in terms of emissions. And if more and more electricity generation shifts to natural gas from coal then it's wildly cleaner in emissions terms. Now, there is still plenty else to worry about, like the externalities that come with the batteries both for production and disposal. But then again, a lot of the nastier ICE stuff also disappears (oil and filters, for example). It's all not just a wash in impact terms.
Nope, not "wildly cleaner" overall. Here are some quotes from a couple of major studies:
"As for greenhouse-gas emissions and their influence on future climate, the researchers didn't ignore those either. The investigators, like many others who have probed this issue, found that electric vehicles generally produce fewer of these emissions than their gasoline- or diesel-fueled counterparts—but only marginally so when full life-cycle effects are accounted for. The lifetime difference in greenhouse-gas emissions between vehicles powered by batteries and those powered by low-sulfur diesel, for example, was hardly discernible.
The National Academies' study stood out for its comprehensiveness, but it's not the only one to make such grim assessments. A Norwegian study published last October in the Journal of Industrial Ecology compared life-cycle impacts of electric vehicles. The researchers considered acid rain, airborne particulates, water pollution, smog, and toxicity to humans, as well as depletion of fossil fuel and mineral resources. According to coauthor Anders Stromman, "electric vehicles consistently perform worse or on par with modern internal combustion engine vehicles, despite virtually zero direct emissions during operation.""

EVs are far from a cure-all, even if batteries become cheap.
I doubt anyone would call it a cure-all. I certainly didn't. The cure-all is to reorganize living to transport ourselves around very differently than we do now. The "wildly cleaner" was a comparison of getting the electricity from coal vs. natural gas - although actually that's still up in the air as well once all cumulative effects are taken into account. And what the study indicates is not very different is electric vs. low sulphur diesel. I'd be a much happier guy if the roads were full of low sulphur diesels and electrics. As it is they are full of standard ICEs - which are dirtier than electrics.
From what I've read a hybrid like a Prius is similar to a low sulphur diesel. So there are two low cost alternatives to the hugely expensive EVs, alternatives that are in widespread production right now. No need for mega plants, tax breaks, or subsidies. That's my point.
The whole history of the transportation industry in the US is full of mega plants, tax breaks and subsidies. So that's just always been part of it either way. I guess like mountainbike, I'm more excited by innovation. And if we are going to try to hobble through history with these kinds of personal transport, the innovations have to come at some point. (And I only mean "like mountainbike" on liking the innovation. I know he's down on the tax breaks and subsidies and stuff. I'm just saying the electrics aren't special in that regard.)
