Hard to stop watching once you start. It's impossible to figure out why there are so many different types of reactions.Edited By: SerlinSteak19 Sep 5th, 2011 at 10:48 PM
let it be a lesson how easy it is to find whores
i watched past 60 i was thinking one of the ladies was going to reach out and grab his junk as payback but didnt happen in the part i watched
some seemed surprised others like he had given them ten bucks for a quick grope
436, 882, 34, 771, 98....
Watched to about 300 and was surprised he only got slapped hard 1 time. I was expecting some to slap him pretty hard if he is just randomly going up to them without them knowing what his intentions are.
One thing is for sure, Russian woman are pretty flat chested.

C'mon son
To me it looked like the women fell into 3 different categories for this:
1. Some of them he asked them in advance if he could touch their breasts, before touching their breasts
2. Some of them he didn't ask but just slowly lowered his hands towards their breasts in a super slow and obvious kind of way where it was like body-language-obvious to the woman the he was going in for the squeeze like sort of a "Can I?" but with his hands/body doing the talking instead of actually asking it
3. Some of them he didn't ask, nor did he do a slow move-in play with his hands, but instead just straight up touched their tits to their total surprise.
The reason I think this is:
For category 1, you can tell some of them are like already holding their arms out, with a big laugh/grin on their face, their heads propped back like looking up at the sky with their noses scrunched up, looking as though he already asked them for their permission in advance, and now they were readying themselves for him to do it to them.
For category 2, you can tell some of them are looking at his hands as they slowly move in towards their breasts with a sort of semi-wonderous expression but like they aren't in complete surprise, as if he sort of asked them with his body language while he was moving his hands slowly towards their boobs
And for category 3, you can tell some of them are completely shocked/surprised and jump/flinch super surprisedly when he touches their boobs, like they totally didn't see it coming, and jump back away from him, or shove him, etc
So, imo it seems like it's 3 different categories of approaches he used, over the course of the 1,000 women, with a roughly random distribution of which approach he took. Although some it seems like he used 1 specific method in clusters, like, sometimes you can see in the background that the place where he is is the same place for a few girls in a row, and their reactions are similar for that cluster, as if he sort of uses one approach in one place, and then switches to another approach when he's moved on to a different location. Like, sometimes you'll see 5 or 6 girls all be super surprised/flinch when he does it and shove him in a row, but then not see any get surprised or shove him for like 70 girls in a row after that. That sort of thing.
/grope analysis
im pretty sure if he was groping women and they didnt have his permission he would get arrested.
There's no way in hell that any of the touching was spontaneous.
the only conclusion i got from that video is that I need to move to Russia ASAP
Found that hilarious for some reason.
I'd be shocked if all of the girls didn't know what he was doing. I'm assuming a facebook group, a sign, and a camera went a long way here.
lol women, great expressions
I like how he doesn't discriminate... goes for hot girls, ugly girls, skinny girls, fat girls,...
Yea. I think a disproportionately high percentage of them were hot tho imo (not that I'm complaining). Whenever I saw an especially super hot one, I dragged the slider back a few seconds and then paused it on the girl to get a longer look lol. Probly did that like a dozen times at least, so, at least a dozen superhotties in there imo, if not more.
I wish I would've written down their grope-#'s so I could've put a list of who all the hottest ones were for people to be able to go skip to and enjoy. woopsies

Q: How many girls a day did you come up to?
A: Very many! About 70-300 girls in a day. I'll tell you it was a really hard work.
Q: And how many of them eventually agreed that you touched their breasts?
A: Sometimes only 13 girls agreed, and sometimes 117 did it.
Q: What day was the most successful and where it occurred? I think many guys are interested in which districts of Moscow the girls are most uninhibited?
A: At The Red Bull Tag Flyug we made a record - just about 117 girls. Generally, on the large city events where were lots of people, more girls, respectively. In the center the girls are the most uninhibited, of course. Well, on holidays the girls are more liberated than just strolling on the streets or hurrying about their business.
Q: Thank you, I'll take it into consideration. And often did you get kick in the pants from girls?
A: Once I got really much. I really did not expect and was shocked; it's quite painful and annoying. And this time it was surprisingly - because she herself had agreed to shoot, and then hit me as if I was an aged maniac in a cloak over naked body, which ran up to her and pawed. Then, too, there were attempts to charge me a slap, but I was already experienced guy and always dodged. And even one day, there was a really mad girl: she bit down at my hand with her teeth; I thought she would bite out a piece of my hand. I think they did such things to be memorized in the video.
Q: And were there threats from the girl's guys? In general, aren't you afraid that you'll have to leave the country for a while after the video release, to avoid a bloody revenge from boyfriends and hot-blooded family?
A: No, there were no threats. There were companies in which the guys themselves pushed their girls to be shot. I was recognized a lot, so I didn't have problems with boyfriends. And it's hard to imagine that mentally healthy person would revenge for such an innocent thing. It's not rape, and just a touch, approved by the girls. Video is good, summer-time and positive. If I am killed for this, I'll probably get a little upset.
Q: Okay, and to shake hands with Putin – was it simple to do it? Just came up to him and shook hands? Or at first you were stripped naked by the FSB and forced to squat 15 times to make sure that you didn't hide grenade or stick of reinforcement in private parts of your body?
A: well, Vladimir Putin recognized me and gestured to the security service to let me pass through the crowd! In general, it was difficult to break through the security. But I pushed through till the end. And I did it.
Q: And how do you feel after touching 1000 breasts? It's really a hellish job; didn't you get some mental trauma after it? Well, for example, can you now enjoy trips to the strip club?
A: The touching itself - it is certainly nice, but you imagine that 1,000 girls - it's only about 15-20% of the girls we interviewed. The remaining 5000-7000 girls did not agree. And each asks several questions. Each must be explained. In general, we spent a lot of time and nerves. This was terribly tiring. We burned on the summer sun; we were on feet 8 hours a day. It was the tedious work with breasts, their owners and friends of the owner of the breasts. I saw the breasts in my dreams at night and the dreams came true at daylight. But certainly I didn't become a gay. I still love breasts.
good lord some of these girls are fucking smoking hot
Like yes please to 90+% of them.
Given how cold it is year around in Russia you'd think there would be fatter women. Take note American women, you just lost your "Oh it's winter weight" excuse.

HOUSTON - When NASA's space shuttle Atlantis launches toward the International Space Station (ISS) this month, it will kick off an increasingly complex set of missions to complete the orbital laboratory, agency officials said Friday.
Slated to launch toward the ISS on Aug. 27, Atlantis and its STS-115 astronaut crew will haul a 17.5-ton addition to the space station's main truss and two new solar wings to double power production.
"It's great to be back flying an assembly mission," said STS-115 lead shuttle flight director Paul Dye during a press briefing here at NASA's Johnson Space Center today. "We've flown a couple of test flights where we've proven the shuttle's back and flies well. Now we're going to get back to the business of expanding the space station and that's very exciting."
Atlantis' STS-115 spaceflight will mark NASA's first dedicated ISS construction mission since late 2002. The orbital construction work stalled after the 2003 loss of NASA's Columbia orbiter and its seven-astronaut crew, which grounded the space agency's fleet for more than two years while engineers developed new safety modifications. Since then, NASA's Discovery orbiter has flown two test flights to shakedown those enhancements.
With Atlantis' upcoming mission NASA is poised to resume an at least 15-shuttle flight sequence to complete the ISS by the orbiter fleet's 2010 retirement.
"You can imagine that in 18 shuttle flights, that's going to be a busy period for the program," said ISS program manager Michael Sufferdini, including NASA's recent STS-121 mission and two reserve flights into his construction mission count. "But it's why we're here and we're looking forward to the challenge."
A tricky mission
At nearly 35,000 pounds (15,875 kilograms), Atlantis' truss and solar array cargo is by far the heaviest ISS element to ride in an orbiter cargo bay to date. It is designed to generate about 20 kilowatts - about one-fourth of the station's power needs - or enough electricity to support about six average homes.
Installing the $371.8-million truss segment, connecting its power and data lines to the ISS, and deploying its twin solar arrays on the station's port side will require no less than three spacewalks by two teams of STS-115 astronauts.
To ensure a successful construction job, spacewalkers must work smoothly with flight controllers and engineers on Earth, as well as their fellow crewmates inside the ISS and Atlantis.
"These are extremely intense, extremely tightly choreographed missions," NASA mission operations representative Phil Engelauf said. "Probably more so than we've done in the past."
The first of many
NASA's STS-115 mission is just the start of an ambitious plan to complete the ISS.
It will take one more shuttle flight - STS-116 aboard Discovery set to launch on Dec. 14 - to bring the station's new solar arrays online, then two more spaceflights to deliver two additional massive power modules to the orbital lab. A fourth solar array is already aboard the ISS, but will have to be moved into its final position during an upcoming shuttle flight.
Once all four solar arrays are in place and functioning, the real heavy lifting begins to launch long-waiting modules and international laboratories toward the outpost.
"There is very little wiggle room," Sufferdini said the ISS assembly plan. "Over the next four years, every flight is very full, very busy."
But despite the daunting path that lies ahead, station managers are confident they will hit their target.
"We have prepared long and hard for this," Sufferdini said of the road ahead for the ISS. "This is what we've been planning for, this is what we've trained for, so we're ready to go do this assembly task."

Okay, is this not an oxymoron in a parent's world?! But there are a few SIMPLE things we CAN do to bring more peace to our families and to our kids with healthy drink recipes this time of year. Reminding ourselves of what REALLY matters is a great way to keep the holidays in check. I have a saying that I use for this time of year: Less presents, more presence!
Spending precious moments with people we care most about and energy on things that really matters most! As we know, peace comes mostly from within us. If we, including our kids, can add fuel to our bodies that will assist in keeping us in a state of peace, this is certainly something that we can do to help bring Christmas peace! Sugar imbalance tends to rise at this time of year. The abundance of candy, chocolate and baked goods seems endless. One way we can cut back is to have fruit and veggie sticks readily available in a bowl on the counter or in the fridge at all times. With the cold weather, it easily becomes a habit to have a hot chocolate or other high sugar drink post game or after an outdoor event. How about a new hot drink tradition: HOT-SPICED APPLE CIDER? And no, I don't mean the packets of artificial powder, but cider that's only made from real apples. This will not only create more peace in our bodies from the greater nutrition and less sugar, but apples are also beneficial for the lungs ( important with all of the coughs at this time of year) and the spices are warming – to the body and the soul! This can easily be prepared ahead of time and kept warm in a thermos for the drive home from an outdoor game.
Another option is WARM-SPICED MILK , easy to prepare and delicious to drink.
I have added a smoothie recipe that we find especially great for the winter and is great for those few that are not much into hot beverages. The minerals from the molasses, as well as the spices added, are warming compared to the often cooling properties that a berry smoothie might have on the body. Both of these drinks contain molasses, which due to it's high mineral content has many benefits including stabilizing mood, assisting in muscle contraction, improving concentration… all things we can certainly use at this time of year!
So, happy holidays, and let me know what you think…
Spiced Milk
1 cup organic milk, warmed to just before boiling,
Then stir in:
1 teaspoon organic, unrefined molasses
optional: Add a dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cardamom etc.
Yields 1 serving
Banana Spice Smoothie
2 large or 3 small soft bananas
2 teaspoons cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon organic, unrefined molasses
1 cup yogurt
Blend everything in the blender. You may need to add water, organic milk or juice to reach desired consistency
Yields 1 – 2 servings.
Apple Cider
6 cups pure, unsweetened apple cider
3 cinnamon sticks (preferred, but 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon will do)
5 – 10 whole cloves (or 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves)
1 thin slice ginger root (or 1 dash ground ginger)
Bring everything to a boil, then let simmer on low for 20 – 40 minutes. This can be prepared ahead of time and left on the stove (with it turned off) while you are at your outdoor activity. When you come home, simply heat up to desired temperature. You may also store this in the fridge after simmering, and it will keep there for a week for reheating at any time. Remove whole spices and enjoy!
Yields 4 – 5 servings

" Brand: Cricket / Type: Household Cleaner / Category: Cleaning & Disinfectant "
I purchased this from Tescos, however I believe they are available in other supermarkets. In the past I have brought similar products from the cheap shops but found them not to be very good so decided to try out this to see if it is any better. It cost around £3 and is worth paying the extra, I know matches are cheap but the safety aspect of this it is well worth the extra money, it also lasts ages. I was forever burning my fingers using matches, this has solved that issue and an added bonus is you don't get the sulphur smell like you do when you have lit a match
I purchased the black version, it is also available in red and grey. The handle is comfortable to hold with a soft easy grip section in a different shade and material than the rest of the item. The lighter is 8 ½" (22cm) long, with the handle 4 ½" (12cm) and the lighter section 4" (10cm) .
It can be used for most things that need lighting, however the safety label warns against using for cigarettes, cigars or pipes. It also states you must not keep lit for longer than 30 seconds but I have never needed to use it for longer than this. The long slim lighter section makes it idea for lightening candles and this is the main use for mine. It even gets into the bottom of a large yankee candle which would be very difficult to light using a match. I also use it on fireworks night to light sparkles and for bbqs and as it is easier and safer than a match.
The one criticism I have with this lighter is there is no option to alter the flame height which is a feature available on some other brands of these. This means that when the gas is running low the flame height is not very good, when full the length of the flame is approx 1" (25mm) The lighter is refillable, this is an important feature to look for with this type of lighter as some of them do not have this. Mine has been refilled once, it lasted ages before this needed doing, it would have lasted longer but I wanted it refilled, as the flame length was getting shorter. It does have the very important switch to turn if off and I make sure I always engage this before putting it away on a high shelf out of the reach of children.
I have got a lot more use out of this lighter than I though I would, I find myself using it more than the cheaper versions because it is nicer and easier to use, some of the cheaper versions the click switch to light the flame can be a bit temperamental and doesn't always work first click, but I have found this brand always lights first time.
I have taken off one star as I would like the flame height to be adjustable. I would still recommend this product and will definitely be purchasing another one if this one gets lost or broken.
So I don't have a gas oven which requires a light and I'm not a smoker. Two of the main reasons people may purchase a lighter. However there are an abundance of reasons why you may need one of these just lying about your house!
Firstly I must proclaim that I am a man with plenty of experience with barbequing! I can cook to perfection and satisfy everyone who tries the food. They said practice makes perfect and I had plenty of time for that. So I have to admit that maybe I haven't cooked a vast variety of food, nor have I used a real barbeque. What can I say, times are hard as a student! I've had to resort to tiny, foil tray, disposables. Nonetheless, with the amount of barbeques you can have in your spare evenings at University I've had plenty of time to perfect my skills and can still cook a mean burger and sausage! Obviously this isn't a review on my cooking nor disposable barbeques but simply introduces my biggest tool of the trade; the long handled lighter!
For those of you who have purchased a disposable BBQ, be it at the beach or in the garden, I'm sure you may have experienced a similar problem; the top of the barbeque has a wire grill! It's like a force field for the coal. All you want to do is light it up to begin your afternoon cooking and you can't even do the first step! First I tried a standard lighter which my friend chucked to me. Firstly, no matter which direction you flick it, the flame heads upwards. The two choices you have are to turn the lighter upside down and pressed against the grill in the hope that it catches, but you'll most likely burn your fingers in the process. The next option is to turn the BBQ upside down and put it on top of the light so the flame is in the right direction, but this is hardly wise. Useless! The next choice was good old-fashioned matches. With a match you can drop it between the holes in the grill to get to the lighting paper. If it's a windy day however you can get through a number of matches which can become quite frustrating. There must be a better solution!
Unleash the bad boy! By bad boy, of course I'm referring to my Cricket long handled lighter. I had to run to the shop to purchase this before we could even get it lit. It would of made so much more sense to get it at first I suppose, but we live and we learn. The long handle can easily fit between the gaps in the grill making it perfect to get inside. You can direct where you want the flame to go as it's on the end of essentially a stick. This also prevents you from burning yourself as the flame is a good distance away from your hand. Long story short, the cricket lighter is a must for barbeques!
Another one of my guilty pleasures at University was my love for scented candles and oils. I necessarily go out to buy them at first, but once my girlfriend introduced me I found them more relaxing. Also, in student's slums your nose will appreciate a fragrant smell every so often. At first I started with candles which burnt to a scent, but eventually moved onto scented oils. Even these oils need a candle and burner however. This is another fantastic job for this lighter. Previously I would have to tip the candle to an angle so the flame would touch the wick. This becomes even more of a problem once it gets burnt in slightly. With my candle burner, I'd never use a full tea light in one go should could relight it maybe 2 or 3 times. As lazy as it sounds, it's so much easier to put in a long handled lighter than take out the tea light, light it and put it back in. Some scents are to bring down stress, so who wants stress putting the tea light back in! (I know, my life sounds easy right?).
If scented oils or candles aren't your thing then maybe use them to try and be creative. After my girlfriend introduced me to the candles I had to repay the favour. However as she is 5,000 miles away it's hard to get a gift to her. On Valentines Day this was definitely a problem so we decided to just have an enjoyable Skype conversation rather than presents. I did want to give her a surprise however and the best I could manage would have been a photograph. As it was Valentines Day and she introduced me to the candles I wanted to incorporate these together. Therefore I decided to spell out 'Be My Valentine' with flickering tea lights so she had a lovely image to wake up to.
If I remember it took over 100 tea lights and lighting each one by hand is very tiresome. As it was my birthday the night before I was battling through a self inflicted hangover so this didn't make it any more enjoyable. I went to my local corner shop and picked up a box of long matches to do the job. These were a nightmare! At first it was taking 3 to 5 matches per tea light! I had also arranged all of the lettering so every time I had to pick up a candle to light it ruined my display. I couldn't cope so I ended up jogging in the rain to Tesco (truly committed!) just to get a replacement Cricket lighter. When I got home this done the job perfectly. I will add that the reason I had to go to get another lighter from Tesco is because I misplaced the first. The product itself is very durable and has never actually broken on me. I can just be very clumsy sometimes!
So here are my three main uses for this lighter, but I am there are plenty more benefits that other people will have. I know many smokers that keep these in their house, and while they're not practical to keep in your pocket, they make an exceptional tool to have around the house.
Feel free to add any of your uses in the comments!
P.S - I must add, I didn't actually review design or colours of the lighter. Look up and hey presto, you can see a picture. It's looks just like a long handled lighter. No visual design awards here ;-)
---Why We Bought This---
Not one of my purchases, but actually something hubby bought.
Not known for his shopping skills, but he does enjoy time in our large garden since ill health forced early retirement. He often has little B.B.Q.s and also has a little gas stove in one of his sheds - a real man's den - so he obviously thought this was a necessary gadget.
---The Brand---
Cricket make many types of small lighters and these Firepower lighters.
They first made lighters in the 1960s and the large Firepower were on sale from 2003.
---The Product---
Refillable long gas lighter.
9 inches long, coloured body with a 2 inch silver colour top.
Available in different colours and also in a mini version.
One press button to release flame from tip.
Safety button which when slid across prevents the lighter being activated.
Has a sticker with lots of safety information, mostly basic - do not use to light cigarettes, do not use near face, keep away from children etc.
Just click the button and you get an instant 2 inch flame out of the end.
£3 from Tesco online but can be bought in many outlets
---My Opinion---
Well although this was bought by my husband I now use it a lot as well.
Hubby primarily got it for use doing his B.B.Q.s and bonfires in the garden, but as it was left on the kitchen table a lot I found it has many other uses.
Before I would buy matches for my candles and oil burners, plus for lighting the log burner. Now this long lighter makes these jobs so much easier.
At the click of one button you get a bright flame of 1.5 to 2 inches to light candles or fires quick easily.
No more fiddling with short matches going out or trying to get your hand into a large jar candle to reach the wick at the bottom.
These lighters are handy as they stand up. We have the dark red coloured one. The gas inside lasts absolutely ages as you only use it for a few seconds at a time. It is easily refillable from the bottom and hubby has bought extra gas from a stall at out local Sunday Market - but I am sure it is available in many outlets.
As with any lighter product or matches they need to be kept away from children, but as ours are now adult we mostly keep this either on the kitchen table or on the worktop so it is easily accessible to both me for my tart burners and candles and to hubby for taking out to his garden shed - luckily he always remembers to bring it back!
Definitely something I am glad that he decided to buy as it is used almost daily for one purpose or other.
---Star Rating---
5 Stars.
---Would I Recommend?---
Yes definitely.
It's not often that we find ourselves needing matches in this house - birthday cakes, the occasional romantic candle and the ever annoying power cut - but when we do need them, we never seem to have any. A while ago I hosted a Party Lite candle party and the presenter introduced me to this very handy little gadget - the Cricket Fire Power Long Handled Lighter! I could immediately see that it would be very useful for a number of reasons so I decided to buy one!
This is a very basic implement but so very handy too. The first thing to mention that it is 22cm long which means that the reach is very good. I have a couple of glass jar candle holders which you place votives inside. The opening is not that wide and without this lighter I would risk getting my fingers burned every time that I tried to light one.
The lighter has a plastic covering and comes in a variety of colours - ours is black. It has a comfortable grip that you curl most of your fingers around but leaving free your index finger in order to operate. With this, you need to apply a reasonable amount of pressure to the push down switch in order to ignite the flame. This is almost instantaneous and provides a surprisingly tall flame immediately. It is ideal for lighting anything that you would have used matches before either indoor or out, and you don't have to worry about it blowing out before completing the job or about burning your fingers.
I was a bit concerned about what might happen if my daughters got their hands on it so it is always kept out of their reach. However, even if they did get hold of it, it is equipped with a lock to de-activate the button. There is an off or on switch so as long as it is always slid to off, they cannot light it by mistake. This is really useful although I would still always advise children that it is not a toy!
The other good thing to say about this lighter is that it is really not very expensive and it does seem to last for ages. I bought mine from Sainsburys about eighteen months ago for £2.99 and it does still seem to be selling for a similar price in a number of stores - most supermarkets and hardware type stores. Also it does seem to last because I have used it a lot of times (I've been more inclined to light decorative candles since I've had it) and it shows no sign of running out after eighteen months.
The best thing about it is that it seems so safe to use especially outdoors. It is very practically, and provided you can remember where you keep it, I recommend that it is the first thing that you grab in a power cut. It's so good that I think that every house should have one!

Buck and Coop also spent hours trying to find their FAVORITE apps, and they both have come up with a few that you need to check out!
Right now, Buck and Coop are all over Instagram (follow @buckandcoop). They love it because they get to connect with listeners and show them a side of the show they wouldn't normally get. So that starts Buck and Coop's list of their 10 favorite apps:
1. Instagram – Buck and Coop are always on here posting pictures from the studio and what is going on in their every day life! They also love to see what listeners are up to!
2. HBO Go – Coop is a subscriber to HBO, and if you are too, he insists this is a "go-to" app. You can watch new and old shows from HBO, including tons of awesome movies! The app is free as long as you are a subscriber of HBO.
3. Smart Sync – This app is pretty cool. It Syncs your contacts with their Facebook accounts, so when they call, their Facebook photo pops up, along with their most recent status update!
4. Food Network In The Kitchen – Buck and Coop both LOVE to cook. And instead of eating the same thing every week, the guys use this app to try to recipes!
5. Yahoo Fantasy Sports – Coop joined the company fantasy football league! He can keep up to date using this free app!
6. Find My Friends – This is a must have iPhone app. When the Buck and Coop tech producer, Will, called the police, Buck said he could have realized it was his fiancée if he had this app downloaded. It allows you to see where your friends are, and will actually alert you when they get somewhere.
7. Stub Hub – While you can access Stub Hub on the internet, the app works perfectly when on the go. Coop has been wanting to go to a Pistons, and instead of paying all the fees and face value prices of tickets, you can get cheaper tickets, and great seats at the click of a button!
8. Flick Golf – Currently free in the App Store, Buck just downloaded it and cannot put it down! It gives you ended amounts of fun because it is always different!
9. Clear – This is an awesome to-do list app. Coop had the entire show download the app, and it works perfectly to keep you on track, and save paper while doing so!
10. Radio.com – There is one reason that this app is so awesome…you can listen to Buck and Coop and 98.7 AMP Radio on it any time you want!

The only thing that stands out in your syscheck is the lack of IOS58. It's hardly required, but it can come in handy for USB 2.0 support when HBC is installed on it. If you use the link in my sig for it, you can install the IOS slot, then reinstall HBC (from your existing HBC) and it will install on that slot.
The other thing, with Sniper Elite, have you set the game to "Force NTSC" in your game loader's options? That may be your problem. If that does not fix it, re rip the game from scratch.

Comparison between OptiPlex Desktops PC and Precision Workstations
What are the differences between a desktop PC and a workstation?
Many people call all computers "workstations", but the truth is they are very different. What are these differences? A good place to start this discussion is by looking at attributes of these product lines and their associated positioning:
· OptiPlex is Dell's mainstream corporate desktop for productivity users who value stability, manageability, and corporate security.
· Precision also provides stability, manageability, and corporate security but adds higher performance, greater scalability, faster graphics, high availability options, and ISV certifications.
Who needs an OptiPlex desktop?
OptiPlex systems are targeted towards mainstream workers that need basic to medium performance for office level computing. With large deployments, space may be limited for some environments so OptiPlex offers several chassis sizes to provide maximum flexibility. Performance may be important for some of these users, but acquisition price will typically be a limiting factor.
Who needs a Precision workstation?
Precision workstations are targeted toward key personnel such as engineers, medical researchers, digital content creation workers, R&D, etc. where high performance and high reliability are required. These users will typically spend much of their work day using a single or limited number of applications to perform mission critical work. In most cases, their work is time sensitive and delays could impact completion dates of projects. Therefore, the highest levels of performance and application reliability are needed. Being able to perform their work quickly and accurately can have a substantial impact on the bottom line. Things to consider when making a decision on whether to purchase a Precision workstation include:
· Performance and Scalability: Precision systems offer the highest performance processors (including multicore dual Xeons), additional memory, more storage, and the ability to populate several add-in cards.
· Graphics: Precision graphics support Open GL and high performance 3D video for complex CAD/CAM, Life sciences, or Digital content creation work. Precision also offers support for multi-monitor environments such as financial traders.
· High Availability: Users that need the highest levels of availability should choose Precision workstations that offer the option to obtain higher reliability SAS hard drives, storage redundancy using RAID, ECC memory, and redundant power supplies (R5500 only).
· ISV Certifications: The term 'certified', an industry standard label, is granted by workstation software companies to hardware partners that meet their specific standards. Application vendors run tests to insure the hardware platform and its individual components work without error. By eliminating the issue of incompatibility, both software and hardware vendors help reduce troubleshooting and resolution time and can get their customers back to business quickly.
Attributes Shared by Precision and OptiPlex
Whether the purchase criteria are performance or acquisition price, most large organizations focus on the total cost of ownership. These customers have complex environments where internal applications, network compatibility, and security must be tested and qualified before a system can be introduced into a workgroup. Change increases risk and must be carefully evaluated before introduced into an organization. Hardware stability is important in these environments since common parts can reduce learning curves of becoming familiar with new systems and also reduces the complexity of parts management. Shared Attributes include:
· Long lifecycles: Stability allows Dell customers to standardize on a single platform and lock on the hardware and image for an extended period of time without changes. For Latitude and OptiPlex, our mainstream systems are available for at least 15 months without hardware changes
· Managed transitions: When the replacement system is introduced, 60-90 days of overlap is offered where the current and new system are both available. This allows time for customers to receive the new system, load their custom image, and test it before deploying it into their environment.
· Global Standard Products: Global customers can obtain the same hardware on a worldwide basis.
· Advanced systems management: Features provide one-to-many and out of band (OOB) capabilities with Intel vPro, Intel Standard Manageability, Broadcom TruManage, and ASF.
· Legacy Operating Systems: Support for the latest operating systems and legacy OS's such as XP and Vista.
· Support Options: Corporate support options such as same day onsite support, self-maintainer, keep your own hard drive, image installation on the HD from the factory, asset tagging, longer warranties, etc.
· Imaging & updates: All Dell systems have drivers and BIOS updates available online for easy downloads. Documentation is also available on the Dell site for easy availability.
· Deployment services: Options for services such as multipack (several systems in a single box) and reduced documentation ship the systems without DVDs or user's guides.
· Labor costs: Dell hardware is designed to be easy to deploy and service. Keep in mind most of the leading analyst organizations claim that 70% of the costs of running a PC are upkeep, not acquisition. To reduce upkeep costs Dell provides tool-less desktop chassis, common hardware color coding, and designs that allow for easy access to commonly access components.
"Legacy Operating Systems: Support for the latest operating systems and legacy OS's such as XP and Vista." apparently that's not the case as I was just told that Dell doesn't have the Windows 7 CAB files for the Optiplex 740.
02/20/2014 12:38:24PM Agent (CEBg_Alexandre_244407): "David , it seems that the older 740 system is indeed no longer listed to have available cab files. You may want to contact our fee based dell solutions stations software experts fro this."

RED DEER, ALTA. - The last time Heather Smith-Dacey played in Red Deer, third Beth Iskiw and lead Laine Peters were on her foursome.
Now, theyre playing for Heather Nedohins Team Alberta.
Theyre doing well this year, said Smith-Dacey. Theyre both great players so that doesnt surprise me in the least.
Smith-Dacey is looking to renew acquaintances with her former rinkmates.
And the timing couldnt have been better.
Nova Scotia and Alberta meet in whats shaping up as a crucial Thursday-night round-robin finale.
I havent played them in forever, said Smith-Dacey. We hope it means something. With our record, it could mean something.
Smith-Daceys team is starting to look like a spoiler after its 0-3 start. Smith-Dacey upended Team Canada in an extra end early Wednesday.
Look at the field now, its crazy, said the 2011 bronze medallist. Were a great team. We just havent shown our stuff yet. Were finally starting to do that.
For the first time in three Scotties appearances, Amber Holland teams will not be Saskatchewan.
In tonights final round-robin game, theyll be playing Saskatchewan.
I think itll be a bit of a different feeling, said third Kim Schneider. Weve played all those players lots of times. Weve played them at the provincials before, but not at the Scotties.
It doesnt matter what jackets were wearing. Were going to do what we have to do to control our own destiny.
If nothing else, the huge contingent of Saskatchewan fans will be conflicted for at least one game.
Theyre each going to pull for their families, said Schneider. Were all here to support each other, but at the same time, were each here to win.
Whichever team the Saskatchewan fans plans to cheer for, chances are theyll have one goal in mind.
Theyll cheer, but at the end of the day, theyll still go into the Heart Stop and have a drink, so thats all good, said Holland.
Its been a memorable Scotties, full of highs and lows, for skip Kerry Galusha of the Territories.
Galusha got off to a hot start after winning the Hot Shots.
Then, she spent Tuesday in the sick bed as her team struggled.
We started off pretty well and its turned into a pretty crappy week, Im not going to lie, said Galusha. Yesterday was a big day for us. We were going for a 2-0 day. I got sick and theres nothing I could do about it.
Just bad timing. The (three healthy) girls did their best in the morning, but the night did not go well.
In hindsight, I could have played last night, but I played it safe. What can you do?
Its not the first time Galusha has fallen ill during a curling competition.
Up in Inuvik at the Territorial championships, I played and we ended up losing, said Galusha. I played and I should have, so thats why I sat yesterday, thinking it was better for the team.

There was another thread on this that has been closed : https://kriesi.at/support/topic/accordion-hide-all-category/#post-133938
Finally got around to trying Kriesi's advice, but it didn't work :( I think perhaps because of the 2.3 update?
In any case, I've pasted the following function into my child theme's functions.php, but I might have missed something.
Any thoughts?October 7, 2013 at 7:11 am #171476
Hi Michae1!
The filter on thread is for the portfolio sort. You can change the "All" text for the accordion element by editing config-templatebuilder > avia-shortcodes.php > toggles.php. Find this code on line 233:
$tag_string = "{".__('All','avia_framework' )."} ";
Best regards,
IsmaelOctober 7, 2013 at 8:42 am #171493
Hi Ismael,
Thanx. I've changed that already. But Kriesi had a dynamic fixed in the thread above that I could use in my child theme functions.php, so it wouldn't revert back with every new update. However, that didn't seem to work properly, likely because of the latest 2.3 update. Was hoping for a similar fix if possible.
– MichaelOctober 8, 2013 at 11:04 am #172139
Please try following code instead
add_filter('avf_portfolio_sort_first_label','avia_change_label', 10, 2); function avia_change_label($all, $params) { $all = "Name of your label"; return $all; }
and replace "Name of your label" with your custom text.
PeterOctober 19, 2013 at 7:11 am #177747
Hi Dude,
I tried your code, but it didn't seem to work. This is exactly what I have placed in my child themes functions.php
<?php add_filter('avf_portfolio_sort_first_label','avia_change_label', 10, 2); function avia_change_label($all, $params) { $all = "Name of your label"; return $all; }
The "General Questions" (which I hardcode renamed in the php from "all") is the one that SHOULD be changing with this function.
What am I doing wrong?October 20, 2013 at 8:33 am #178009
I just noticed that Kriesi did not add the filter to the accordion function but it will only affect the portfolio filter. I'll ask him to add it to the accordion function too.For now you need to modify /wp-content/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/toggles.php directly and replace following line
$start = array(__('All','avia_framework' ) => true);
$start = array();
PeterOctober 21, 2013 at 4:09 am #178246
So, I'm definitely doing SOMETHING wrong, because replacing the above code caused the entire body of the page to not render :(October 23, 2013 at 10:24 am #179569
Please update to the latest version of Enfold (released yesterday) and add following code to the functions.php file to change the label:
add_filter('avf_toggle_sort_first_label','avia_change_toggle_label', 10, 2); function avia_change_toggle_label($all, $params) { $all = "Name of your label"; return $all; }
PeterOctober 29, 2013 at 5:00 am #181924
Hi Peter, that worked great! Thanx!!
Is there a similar hook for the separator? I'd like to change it from "/" to "|" and change the color. Hope so :)October 29, 2013 at 10:06 am #181970
I did not test it but you can try to overwrite the default separator with following css code
#js_sort_items .text-sep:after { content: "|"; } #js_sort_items .text-sep{ display: none; }
Insert it into the quick css field.
PeterOctober 31, 2013 at 5:01 am #182813
No luck there, Peter. Any other thoughts? I also tried adding !important, just in case that might override the setting. I was thinking, because this is a character and not just a style change, wouldn't it have to be changed in the php too, like the above "All" label?November 1, 2013 at 3:55 am #183256
There is no filter for the seperator. You need to manually edit the file again and look for this code on line 269:
$output .= "/";
Best regards,
IsmaelNovember 27, 2013 at 1:59 am #193653
Thanx Ismael. Was hoping for a dynamic solution so my client wouldn't have to change this in the php every time they update.
Could you point me in the right direction of adding a function to my child functions.php that might do this?
Was trying to look around for how/where the "All" tag is able to be changed dynamically with Peter's function. Couldn't I adapt that function to do the same thing for the separator?November 27, 2013 at 5:55 am #193696
I'm not sure if this is possible with a child theme. I'll ask Dude.
Best regards,
IsmaelNovember 27, 2013 at 7:51 am #193741
Cool. Thank you, Ismael. Look forward to hearing the solution.November 27, 2013 at 9:29 am #193759
The only way to change the separator with a child theme would be to overwrite the entire portfolio shortcode file. Crreate a "shortcodes" folder within the child theme directory, then copy the /wp-content/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/portfolio.php into the child theme "shortcodes" folder and modify the code based on Ismaels instructions (see last post). Then add following code into the child theme functions.php file
add_filter('avia_load_shortcodes', 'avia_include_shortcode_template', 15, 1); function avia_include_shortcode_template($paths) { $template_url = get_stylesheet_directory(); array_unshift($paths, $template_url.'/shortcodes/'); return $paths; }
It will make sure the the shortcode file of the child theme is loaded first and you can overwrite the parent theme files.
Best regards,

NEW YORK — While Indian generic drug maker Ranbaxy Labs is expected by many to launch a generic version of a cholesterol drug made by Pfizer later this year, it may have to sell its rights to it if it can't win Food and Drug Administration approval in time, according to published reports.
Citing Credit Suisse analysts, Bloomberg reported that the FDA may delay approval of Ranbaxy's version of Lipitor (atorvastatin), which would prevent it from marketing the drug starting Nov. 30, as it has planned to do.
Still, according to Bloomberg, the company — mostly owned by Japan's Daiichi Sankyo — is in discussions with the FDA.
Lipitor is the world's top-selling drug, with more than $7 billion in sales in the United States, according to IMS Health data.

A young woman who suffered a gunshot wound as she drove to college and a man who discovered a bullet hole in his car when he stopped for gas both testified Monday at a court hearing for the man accused of shooting at traffic on a Kearny Mesa freeway four months ago.
Ashley Simmons, then a 21-year-old student at the University of San Diego, said she heard a popping noise the morning of April 5 as she drove south on state Route 163 near Balboa Avenue. She testified she felt a pain in her side and called her mother at 7:16 a.m., but continued driving toward the school.
A short time later, Simmons said she had trouble breathing. Paramedics met her near the Linda Vista campus and transported her to Sharp Memorial Hospital.
A bullet was found lodged in her liver, according to a California Highway Patrol investigator who interviewed Simmons' surgeon. She also suffered a collapsed lung and injuries to the tissue near her kidneys.
Simmons gave her testimony during a preliminary hearing for Stephen Joseph Dragasits, 58, who was arrested April 20 in connection with the shootings. He has been described as a transient who lived in a mobile home seen parked in the area.
He worked for San Diego County for 20 years and also served in the Navy.
Another witness, Jeffrey Lloyd-Jones, testified Monday that he was on his way to work when he heard a noise and felt his car shake suddenly, as if he had run over "a huge pothole."
He said he checked for damage underneath his 2010 Volkswagen Passat when he got to work in Kearny Mesa, but did not find any. He was on his way to a meeting later that morning when he stopped at a gas station shortly after 9 a.m.
There, he noticed what looked like a bullet hole in the left rear corner panel of his car.
San Diego Superior Court Judge Melinda Lasater is expected to decide at the end of the hearing — which will continue Tuesday — if prosecutors presented enough evidence for Dragasits to stand trial.
Dragasits faces felony charges including attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon and firing at an occupied vehicle. If convicted, he could face a possible prison sentence of 43 years to life.
On Monday, Deputy District Attorney Chandelle Konstanzer also presented testimony about a Feb. 26 incident in which Dragasits was arrested on suspicion of throwing rocks onto the same freeway. No one was injured.
A motorist whose car was damaged alerted San Diego police that a man later identified as Dragasits was seen throwing the rocks. When confronted him, Dragasits ran into his motor home and locked the door.
Dragasits was arrested and booked into county jail, according to the testimony.
Sheriff's personnel took a DNA sample from Dragasits while he was in custody, which investigators have said was used to link him to samples from shell casings recovered in the April shootings.
Lasater said she would consider a defense motion to suppress evidence at the end of the hearing, but did not state the details in open court.
It seems likely, however, that the motion is related to Dragasits' DNA, based on the questions his lawyer, Deputy Public Defender Euketa Oliver, asked police witnesses involved in the February arrest.
San Diego police officers said Dragasits was booked on a felony charge in connection with the rock-throwing incident. A detective said the charge was reduced later to a misdemeanor.
A sheriff's deputy who works in the inmate classification division at the Central Jail in downtown San Diego said that all inmates booked on felony charges are automatically flagged for DNA collection.
That's not usually the case with those arrested on misdemeanor charges.

Baylor's Hankamer School of Business EMBA program ranked among the Worlds' Best by Bloomberg BusinessweekNov. 14, 2011
For the first time, the Executive MBA program (EMBA) at Baylor University's Hankamer School of Business has been named among the best programs in the world by Bloomberg Businessweek's 2011 Executive MBA ranking. Baylor is ranked 37 worldwide, and the program, which includes campuses in Dallas and Austin, also ranked third among programs in Texas.
"We are delighted to receive this international recognition and be ranked so highly by Bloomberg Businessweek," said Terry S. Maness, D.B.A., dean of the Hankamer School of Business. "To our EMBA students, this comes as no surprise. Our executive MBA programs in Dallas and Austin are highly prized by business executives from a wide variety of business and industry."
This latest honor for the EMBA program comes just days after the Financial Times ranked the program 35th in the country for United States-based programs.
"We are among the top programs globally, which reflects not only the quality of our program but the caliber of our students. This is evidence that our curriculum is at the cutting edge of EMBA education internationally. We are passionate about partnering with executives at this significant time in their careers," said Gary Carini, Ph.D., associate dean of Graduate Business Programs at Baylor's Hankamer School of Business.
The 21-month Dallas and Austin programs are based on a learning environment that enriches the classroom because students learn extensively from their peers as well as Baylor's tenured faculty. Students develop a strong sense of ethical considerations and a global perspective, equipping them to tackle complex business environments.
In Dallas, EMBA classes meet every other weekend. Classes in Austin convene Monday and Thursday evenings. Both programs include curriculum trips to Washington, D.C., and a trip to Asia or South America.
In addition to Baylor's existing EMBA program, the Dallas campus in fall 2012 will implement an Executive MBA Program with a concentration in healthcare. This program, for medical and administrative personnel, will equip leaders to make significant contributions to their healthcare organizations.
The Baylor Executive MBA Program in Dallas is located at the Cooper Aerobics Center, 12230 Preston Road. For more information about the program, visit www.baylor.edu/dallasemba or call 972-458-2327.
The Baylor Executive MBA Program in Austin is located at 7700 West Parmer Lane in Austin. A new campus, located at 3107 Oak Creek Drive (at the intersection of Parmer and MoPac), will open for the spring semester In January 2012. For more information about the Austin EMBA program, visit www.baylor.edu/austinemba or call 512-996-4095.
The EMBA ranking is based on two surveys--one of EMBA graduates and a poll of EMBA directors. Using email addresses supplied by the programs participating in the ranking, Bloomberg Businessweek contacted graduates and asked them to complete a survey on teaching quality, career services, curriculum, and other aspects of their experience. The results of the 2011 survey were then combined with those from two previous surveys (2009 and 2007) for a student survey score that contributes 65 percent of the final ranking. To complete the ranking, the director of each program participating in the ranking was asked for his or her top 10 programs.

A driver who collided head-on with another vehicle on a Lakeside freeway, killing both herself and the other driver, did it on purpose, according to the California Highway Patrol.
CHP is treating the crash as an "intentional act turned homicide," according to Officer Kevin Pearlstein.
Last Friday, 29-year-old Trista Lynn Stier drove the wrong way up an off-ramp on State Route 67 and collided head-on with a Select Electric utility truck.
Both Stier and the truck driver, 49-year-old Douglas M. Menegos, died from their injuries. No other passengers were involved in the crash.
"To have some senseless act like this, I can't understand it," said Frank Lowrey, Menegos' father-in-law.
Even though Menegos was his son by marriage, Lowrey said he considered him his own child.
"I don't have sons-in-law, I have family," he said. "I have sons."
The tragic circumstances surrounding Menegos' death have his family searching for answers.
The San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office lists Stier's cause of death as suicide. Based on statements from Stier's family, officers believe Stier was suicidal at the time of the crash and caused the collision on purpose, Pearlstein said.
Multiple witnesses told investigators it appeared that Stier was driving the wrong way intentionally.
Menegos died of multiple blunt force trauma, according to the ME. The Alpine man leaves behind a wife and two children.
Lowrey said Menegos lived for his family.
"Love your family like Doug did and you're going to be...total family. It's just we're all going to miss him so bad," he said.
Services have been planned for Saturday, June 7 at 11 a.m. at the Foothills Christian Church- Main Sanctuary on West Bradley in El Cajon.
The family requests all attendees dress in "Doug Attire" meaning T-shirts, shorts & flip flops. They say that's how he would have wanted it.
An online fund has been set up to help with college expenses.

Techniques for Rapid Sod Production1
- R. E. Burns
The approximate time when sod is to be used is known several months in advance. Therefore, sod can be preordered and then produced for the specific need. Methods of producing sod in a relatively short time were studied near Atlanta, Ga., USA. 'Tifway' bermudagrass (Cynodon sp.) was sprigged in early summer in an 80-mm layer of solid sewage sludge from a secondary treatment plant. Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) was seeded in the fall and winter in a Cecil sandy clay loam, in which 5-mm plastic mesh had been placed approximately 5 mm below the soil surface. Sod strength was measured by applying a slowly increasing force to a 0.3-m wide strip of sod.
The bermudagrass sod had a strength of 12 kg 2 months after sprigging which increased to 17 kg after 5 months. Sod grown on sludge obtained from an industrial area exhibited more environmental stress when transplanted than sod grown on sludge originating from a residential area. After 7 weeks the fall fescue with a single layer of net broke at 45 kg force, a double layer of net required 75 kg, and netting without sod broke at 34 kg. Sod with no net was too weak to remove from the ground. Three-month-old tall fescue sod produced twice as many roots with double the length of those produced on 7-month-old sod. The tall fescue showed no signs of environmental stress when transplanted during winter or early spring months.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

'Cloroforma' Diaz thinks he'll put Gethin to sleep
Panamanian assassin Ammeth Diaz believes he has what it takes to dispatch Martin Gethin (24-3-1) inside the distance when the pair meet on Friday evening.
Diaz (31-11) takes on the British lightweight champion at Walsall Town Hall in an IBF final eliminator with the winner earning the right to fight current IBF champion, Miguel Vazquez.
Diaz can punch and 22 of his 31 wins have come by way of knockout. It is this power that has earned him the nickname "Cloroforma" - because of his ability to put his opponent to sleep - and he is convinced the same fate will befall Gethin.
"I'm very confident," Diaz said. "I'm coming to England to do my job and I think I'll knock him out before the end of the twelve rounds.
"I've seen plenty of fights of Martin Gethin, on video and on Youtube. He's a very strong boxer and I'm looking forward to the test. My trainer has been watching plenty of fights and working out the plan to beat him. We've seen plenty of weaknesses that we'll be working hard on. I won't give a lot away, but speed will be a big factor in beating Gethin."
Diaz arrived in the UK earlier this week for what will be his first fight on these shores. He's no stranger to fighting on foreign soil though. The 29 year-old has boxed in South America, Caribbean, the USA and Australia during his 13-year professional career.
Although he is expecting a hostile reception from the partisan Walsall crowd; Diaz insists he won't be fazed.
"I'm not worried about the crowd at all," he added. "I've fought in plenty of countries and I have the experience to deal with it. "I'm really looking forward to boxing in England, it will be a great win for me in a foreign country."
Gethin and Diaz weigh-in this coming Thursday, 30th May at Walsall Town Hall at 1.00pm. The event is open to the general public.

Lead-free analog/digital graphics converter
Hamburg, Germany, October 5, 2005 - Kontron expands its range of flat panel controller assemblies with the introduction of the RoHS-compliant CRTtoLCD-5 controller assembly, which converts analog RGB or DVI input signals into digital TTL or LVDS signals for TFTs. Applications include POS and POI terminals, gaming machines, and medical devices whose central computer provides analog VGA or DVI graphics output, and which are to be connected to flat panel displays. This is the scenario for most embedded CPU assemblies and the CRTtoLCD-5 graphics controller makes it easier for users to integrate attractive and increasingly economical TFTs into their systems. The controller can be used in any system because it does not require a PCI or AGP slot.
The CRTtoLCD-5 multimedia flat panel controller assembly with integrated Genesis gm5621 chip provides resolutions up to SXGA. It can process input resolutions up to UXGA and scales the image to the appropriate size for the panel. The new CRTtoLCD-5 assembly is particularly notable for the improvement in its scaling algorithms compared to its predecessors, the shared power supply for the panel and controller provided by two board-specific PSUs, and a new 10-pin, high-power connector for backlight support (up to 4A), which is found on the version for LVDS panels. Also, the cost-performance ratio, which is usually excellent for CRTtoLCD boards, has been improved even further. The board is, of course, footprint compatible with the previous CRTtoLCD-1, -2, and 3, making upgrades within the same product series very simple.
The flat panel controller is available with FLEX32 interfaces (for TTL) or JILI output (for LVDS) to the TFT. The JILI30 interface allows the control of single and dual port LVDS TFTs up to a data width of 2 x 24 bit, while FLEX32 allows the control of 18-bit TTL flat panels. A single 12 V power supply is plenty. The controller manages the power sequencing for the panel and the backlight support.
Cables included in the kit
As Kontron already offers a wide variety of panel cables, complete kits including cables can now be offered for most common TFTs. It is generally possible to adapt to other flat panel types on request and with minor expense.
Convenient keypad for on-screen display
An OSD (On Screen Display) keypad that can be used for changing settings and controlling the special properties of the CRTtoLCD-5 is available. The OSD configuration can be handled very easily via the keypad, or via the serial interface from a PC running Windows. An adapter cable that converts the RS232 commands into TTL signals is available as an accessory. Once settings are optimized, they can be saved as a file and called up at any time even for other panels. The serial OSD control is ideal for use in mass production, as it makes it unnecessary to adjust each controller individually. The adjustment of the each flat panel is done, as is usual for Kontron, via special panel files, which guarantee an optimal display. Individual firmware adjustments can also be made quickly and conveniently with a special tool. Control software (Windows OSD) and panel files can be downloaded from www.kontron-emea.com/flatpanel.
About Kontron Flat Panel Solutions
Kontrons graphics specialists in Hamburg are responsible for graphics products within the Kontron Group. Kontron is the market leader for embedded systems, and Kontron graphics specialists are the leaders in Europe for graphics boards and controllers for any type of flat screen. For more than twelve years, the company has developed, marketed, and sold graphics solutions, along with drivers and cables. Recently, the product range was expanded to include ultra-flat mobile display PCs where the PC is mounted directly on the back of the panel. In accordance with Kontrons company philosophy, the Hamburg firm guarantees its customers products based on cutting-edge technologies, the highest quality, reliable support, competent advice, and long-term product availability.

April 20, 2012
By Lauren Parker
|M.D.-Ph.D. student Brandon Hidaka has just published a paper in the Journal of Affective Disorders.
A day after running in Brew to Brew, a 44.4-mile road race from Boulevard Brewing Company in Kansas City, Mo., to Free State Brewery in Lawrence, Kan., Brandon Hidaka, who is working on his M.D. in addition to a Ph.D. in the KU department of Dietetics and Nutrition, described his approach to life.
"I like to challenge myself in ways that hurt my body."
Hidaka, a researcher, student and outdoorsman, says he always knew he wanted to help people directly. "I thought that was what normal people did," Hidaka says. "Turns out, it's not what normal people do."
He says helping people is the driving force behind his educational research, school activities and community involvement.
In January, the Journal of Affective Disorders published Hidaka's research paper, "Depression as a disease of modernity: Explanations for increasing prevalence." It highlights a relationship between evolutionary changes of modern lifestyles and depression diagnoses.
He started this paper while an undergraduate at the University of Kansas and was assisted by Randolph Nesse, M.D., of the University of Michigan, who is an expert in the field of evolutionary psychology and its relation to clinical depression. "This is top-notch work that will be valuable to the field," Nesse says of Hidaka's research.
Serving as co-president of the Ethics Roundtable Discussion student group, Hidaka says he has the chance to encourage other students to think critically about ethical quandaries.
"As medical professionals, we should always be questioning what we do," he says.
When he talks about all of his activities, Hidaka reveals no hint of stress or tiredness. "You must know your limits and know when to say no," he says. But he also makes sure to save time for his friends.
Hidaka is also working with classmate Marlies Ozias to bring a Community Supported Agriculture program to KU Medical Center, which the campus group Food Is Medicine did in conjunction with Good Natured Family Farms. "We are what we eat and our body functions off of what we've been consuming," says Hidaka. "I believe I've done well in med school because I've nourished my brain with food from local farmers. I know where the food comes from, and I know the farmers' families."
Hidaka is also a volunteer in the School of Medicine's Students in Schools program. Participants visit Argentine Middle School in Kansas City, Kan., for an hour each month to teach science to sixth, seventh and eighth graders. Hidaka says he likes being a role model for these students. He says he feels it shows the kids that college is an option for everyone.
With this busy schedule, he says he keeps his mind relaxed with outdoor activities. He enjoys running marathons and playing soccer on the Nelson-Atkins Art Museum lawn. "Whenever it is a beautiful day, you have to go outside," says Hidaka.
Hidaka says he is currently working toward bringing yoga classes to patients at KU Hospital. As a certified yoga instructor, Hidaka says he wants patients to have the opportunity to get up and move their joints, instead of lying in bed all day and watching TV.
Because of his work, Hidaka has earned many KU Medical Center awards for student leadership and community service, including the JayDoc outstanding volunteer award, the Dorothy A. Knoll student leadership award, and the campus service award.
"There's so much opportunity to go out and do it and follow your passions," says Hidaka. "Always take advantage of those opportunities that present themselves."
Brandon Hidaka is just one of KU Medical Center's many outstanding students. Meet more future health care leaders at our new Student Profiles page.

Seattle - Hilton Worldwide is entering the fast-growing midscale hotel category with a new chain called Tru that's aimed at attracting younger, tech-savvy travellers with large lobbies, digital check-in and rooms for less than $100 a night.
The company said it has signed 102 franchise agreements with property owners and has another 30 pending in cities including Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Chicago, Denver and Portland, Oregon, with the first Tru by Hilton hotels scheduled to open by the end of the year. Most will be outside such pricey markets as New York and San Francisco, with locations in small college towns, near major highways and at resort getaways, said Phil Cordell, global head of focused-service brands for Hilton. The company plans to eventually expand Tru outside the US.
Tru is the 13th brand for the world's biggest lodging company, and may grow into Hilton's largest by number of rooms, Chief Executive Officer Christopher Nassetta said in an interview. The Hampton brand is currently the company's largest, with more than 200 000 rooms in 2 100 properties. Hampton is considered "upper midscale", with rooms costing 20 percent to 30 percent more than at Tru hotels, which plan to charge about $80 to $90 a night, Nassetta said. Midscale hotels typically don't have restaurants or meeting space.
'Command centre'
With hipster decor featuring broad swathes of turquoise and orange along with bold graphics, Hilton hopes to appeal to millennials on a budget who prize amenities including digital room keys and lobby space to work or hang out in, and who are increasingly drawn to hotel alternatives such as Airbnb. Tru is being introduced on Monday at the Americas Lodging Investment Summit in Los Angeles.
Tru's larger-than-average 2 776-square-foot lobby, called the Hive, will be divided into zones dubbed eat, work, play and lounge, and include a circular "command centre" where guests can check in and buy light meals, snacks and single-serving beer and wine. A frosted-glass-and-wood-slat wall will separate a fitness centre with treadmills and weights. Guests will have a choice of two room types, with either a king bed or two queen beds. The rooms will be relatively small, at 231 or 275 square feet, compared with 340 square feet for a standard Hampton room, and each will have a 55-inch television and free Internet.
Shabby image
Midscale and economy hotels tend to have an image of being shabby, with worn carpet and peeling paint, Nassetta said. Room rates often are too low for owners to afford to spend much on upkeep. "At this price point, half the battle is cleanliness," he said. Hilton has signed partnerships with Procter & Gamble, maker of the Swiffer duster, for cleaning supplies at Tru hotels, and with AT&T's DirecTV unit for satellite television, according to Cordell. "This is a space that is ripe for disruption," Nassetta said of the midscale segment. "Nobody's really doing it well."
Midscale-hotel revenue in the US reached $8.58 billion in 2015, accounting for 6 percent of total US hotel revenue of $142.6 billion, according to travel-research company STR. Midscale revenue rose 6.4 percent last year, while total hotel revenue climbed 7.4 percent. Choice Hotels International is the largest US operator in the midscale category, with about 1 797 properties, and its Quality Inn is the largest midscale brand, with 1 369 properties, according to STR.
Filling void
"This midscale brand is going to fill a void in Hilton's portfolio," said Michael Bellisario, an analyst at Robert W. Baird & Company. "The midscale segment is one of the largest segments, and it's one that the major global brands have yet to really penetrate."
Tru is being introduced at a time of concern about slowing economic growth and declines in hotel shares and stock markets around the world. Hilton's shares have fallen more than 30 percent in the past 12 months, closing at $18.27 on Friday, below their 2013 initial public offering price of $20. Choice Hotels is down 25 percent, and the Standard & Poor's 500 Index has declined 7.6 percent.
"My view is that the industry and we will have another pretty good year this year," Nassetta said. The stock market "is pricing in a pretty major recession, and that is not what I think is going to play out. "
Hilton hasn't seen a major change in operating results in China despite the country's economic turmoil, though the mix of development there has shifted toward lower-priced hotels in the past three years, Nassetta said.
"That's where the real demand is - in the midscale segment of the business," he said. "So what that means for us is instead of signing as many DoubleTrees, Hiltons, Conrads and Waldorfs by numbers, you'll start to see a lot more Hilton Garden Inns and Hamptons."
