SWOT Analysis of Biogen Idec
A public limited company, Biogen Idec was originally formed in 2003. This was done by merging two leading companies in the same industries, thereby, the actual history of Biogen Idec dates back to a very long time. Since then, the success graph for the company has always remained high, as it quickly rose up to be one of the biggest companies in the industry which it operates that is biotechnology products. Cures and medicines for cancer, autoimmune disorders and neurological disorders are the prominent products of the company. The work force of the company is calculated to be around 5000 people, while the profit was $5.048 Billion for the year 2011. A brief summary of the strengths and weaknesses of the company is given in the upcoming paragraphs.
A company like Biogen Idec is rarely found. The industry, is though large, comprises of a very less amount of companies. Those numbered companies deals in different fields of biotechnology. The area which is being worked on by Biogen Idec can hardly be found in a dozen of the companies. This makes it more competitive and has helped it establish a good, strong and loyal customer base.
A company found just some years ago, is expected to take time to earn profits. However, with the high research and development and future planning, the company was able to generate a large amount of revenue, which fortunately, it could reinvest to be fully standardized and updated.
The company has partnered with Genentech for its marketing. If seen now, the company itself is putting no extra efforts for the marketing, instead, a separate unit, Genentech, has been given the full control. A high dependence on an external force, although trustworthy, can prove to be harmful for the reputation and working of the company.
As earlier stated, the company is still in its elementary stages, and is new to market. Although the hired people, the employees, are highly experienced, the company lacks a strengthened penetration into the virgin markets, and even into the existing ones.
It can also diversify into the production of other drugs related to biotechnology. For example, it could introduce biotech cosmetic drugs, for improvement of skin wrinkles, or other drugs like those which can prove to be energy supplements.
The foremost threat to the company is from new emerging companies. Nowadays, many people are getting in to the business and introducing apparently better and cheaper supplements. This could lead to a decrease in the sales of products of company. Anyhow, the company will need to strive hard to remain in the competition.

Right Answers
Written by Austin VanKirk—
I had a student come to my office the other day, and he was pissed off. "I don't understand why I didn't get a better grade." His voice is cracking and I can see that he is on the verge of some angry tears. He is torn, because I'm the authority, and he doesn't want to challenge the authority, but he is, and he's confused, and he wants a better grade, but writing is hard for him, and, and, and….
I think it's important for me to share that we do not give letter or number grades in the class I teach, English 101 (we do, of course, as required by law, have to give students a final grade). This is because we are treating the class like a job—you don't really get graded on your performance. You show up, do what you're supposed to do, go home, and get paid. If students do that consistently throughout the course, they receive a B as a final grade—not a bad grade for simply doing what is asked. Now, students can get A grades by going above and beyond what I ask of them—think of this like a bonus or a raise at your job. In terms of this course, this is called doing "exceptional" work. We do this because we want to value the process, the work, that the student is doing—in other words, the learning. Which makes sense, right? You should be evaluated on how much you learn, not how well you spit out an assignment.
Not only was my student upset that I didn't find his work exceptional, he was mad as hell about writing in general. "I don't get it. Like, what am I supposed to do? What's the right way to write? It's all arbitrary; it's like you just make it up as you go along. There's no set answer—how am I supposed to do it!"
Asking what's the "right answer" in writing is like asking what's the right way to live life. There's a million different ways to do it, perhaps some better than others, but that's really all relative and up to the individual.
This isn't that unusual, this case with the student. And, looking back, I was the same way. With our high-stakes tests that determine government funding for schools, kids are taught to give the "right" answer, always. Most of you reading this were probably taught the five-paragraph essay. You were told this is the "right" way to write. But, is it? Are there no other ways of writing? Of course there are. But this is what we teach our youth. By making them write all the same way, the powers-that-be can measure success and failure of writing. You ought not to be able to do that. It's not something that can be quantified. Still, we insist that it can be. And that delivers to me students who are always seeking for that one right answer. When we teach ourselves this way, we do not learn. We are simply regurgitating "right" answers for the sake of expediency.
Wanna know a secret? There are no right answers. Maybe in math there are—but how much of that is theoretical, imaginary? Let's think of things like √-1. And this is true for science, too. For years, atoms were the smallest units of existence, but then somebody found quarks. What is true, what is right, it's all relative to the Zeitgeist.
The danger of always looking for the right answer is that everything is then quantified, objectified, capitalized, and becomes a means to a more valuable end. In other words, we've stopped caring about the journey and are overly concerned with the destination. If you're driving from Detroit to L.A. and never take your eyes off the road, you're going to miss a lot of beautiful country. Remember Disney's Pocahontas? I'm reminded of the lyrics in "Colors of the Wind" as I write this. Look them up—maybe you'll see what I mean.
Learning for the sake of learning. Art for art's sake. These things that I hold dear are vanishing from the face of America as we become increasingly pragmatic and practical. We know this, intuitively, but nobody seems to care. And that saddens me deeply. Instead, we are programmed, made to be robots, which search for the "right" way to do things. I don't want to be a robot.
Do we always need the "right" answer? Because, let me tell you, there isn't always one. But there is certain magic in the possibility, in the theory.
But what do I know?

Original paper
Local and average Fe distribution in trioctahedral micas: Analysis of Fe K-edge XANES spectra in the phlogopite-annite and phlogopite-tetra-ferriphlogopite joins on the basis of single-crystal XRD refinements
Tombolini, Francesca; Brigatti, Maria Franca; Marcelli, Augusto; Cibin, Giannantonio; Mottana, Annibale; Giuli, Gabriele
European Journal of Mineralogy Volume 14 Number 6 (2002), p. 1075 - 1085
published: Dec 1, 2002
ArtNo. ESP147051406012, Price: 29.00 €
In Fe-bearing trioctahedral 1M micas Fe2+ occurs essentially in the octahedral O sheet whereas Fe3+ either coexists with Fe2+ in the octahedral M sites or, more rarely, enters the tetrahedral T sites. The Fe K-edge absorption spectra of twelve micas were recorded in an effort to relate the observed multiple-scattering absorption features to the results of single-crystal X-ray structure refinements obtained oncrystals from the same rock sample. This study first addresses the three end-members phlogopite, annite and tetra-ferriphlogopite, used as reference materials, and enters later in the interpretation of nine trioctahedral micas intermediate in composition along the joins phlogopite-tetra-ferriphlogopite and phlogopite-annite. A detailed analysis of the observed XANES features singles out the independent effects of coordination and valence, and shows distinctly different position vs. intensity trends that depend upon the local Fe2+ and Fe3+ environments. Bond distances evaluated from XANES spectra in the full multiple-scattering region of the K-edge spectrum agree well with those obtained by XRD refinement. Distinct variations in the local to intermediate degrees of order of certain micas can be determined by the analysis of their intermediate multiple-scattering regions; they supplement the information on their long-range order that is best obtained through the XRD refinement.

After almost five years at the helm of NBC's Late Night slot, Jimmy Fallon finally moved to the biggest chat show on US television.
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon debuted with a star-studded line-up, including Will Smith and U2 as well as tributes from Robert De Niro, Lindsay Lohan, Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert, Mike Tyson, Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga, Sarah Jessica Parker, Seth Rogen, Mariah Carey and Joan Rivers.
Fallon achieved largely positive reviews from critics and commentators, as our round-up of opinions from across the web show.
The Critics
Variety: "Rather than brag about the entire affair, Jimmy Fallon, clad in two-buttoned grey suit and black tie, approached his initial turn as host of NBC's venerable Tonight show with humility during a taping on early Monday evening. He talked to the audience as if many hadn't watched him during his slightly less than five-year tenure on Late Night."
NY Daily News: "A visibly nervous Jimmy Fallon made it through his first Tonight Show with a little help from his friends. And a lotta help from his city. Fallon wasn't bad. He just wasn't as good as he's going to get. He also did nothing to suggest NBC made the wrong call in giving him the desk owned for the last half-century by Johnny Carson and Jay Leno."
Entertainment Weekly: "Even though Fallon is a big fan of The Tonight Show, you get the pleasant vibe that he is unencumbered by any extraneous anxiety of influence - that he has no soul-crushing concern that he will somehow fail to live up to some higher ideal of Carsonhood."
USA Today: "While gratitude and humility are admirable traits, there were times in Monday's opening moments when Fallon risked taking them to uncomfortable extremes. One more 'thank you', one more 'I never thought I'd be here', and viewers might have wondered whether they wanted to be there themselves."
TVLine: "It's reckless to make any kind of call based on Fallon's first, obviously calculated night. But at first blush the show seems vibrant and fresh, and the pace will only get snappier as he welcomes buzzier guests to the couch."
Chicago Tribune: "Fallon could very well have a hard time maintaining Leno's ratings lead. It's hard to imagine core Tonight viewers, older than Fallon's, sticking with his signature bits. But the advantage he has is a real gift for mimicry, especially of musicians, and a keen eye for the buzz-worthy... On the other hand, as he showed again Monday, the Tonight staples of delivering traditional monologue jokes and, especially, conducting celebrity interviews rank much lower in the Fallon skill set."
New York Times: "Jimmy Fallon, the new host of the Tonight show, introduced himself to viewers on Monday like a freshly licensed doctor taking over a retiring gerontologist's practice... Mr. Fallon is a charming and gifted comedian who on his first night chose to be subdued and at times even serious. That said as much about the uncertain future of Tonight as it did about its new host."
The Hollywood Reporter: "A lot worked from this first show: The set looks great, legendary house band The Roots were, as usual, flawless... But Fallon himself made the most important gesture of the evening when he came out and basically introduced himself to the world. You can't put enough exclamation points on how important and smart that was. It's such a simple and egoless thing. Tell people who may not know who you are... As for this first night, I doubt Fallon could have done a better job."
After watching #FallonTonight , it proved to me that he will be hosting the Tonight Show longer than Conan.

Watched Jimmy Fallon's new Late Night show & was totally underwhelmed. Very disappointed, a time waster. Interested to read critics reviews.
— Stef L (@finephoto) February 18, 2014
Props to Jimmy Fallon on quite a successful and funny opening show I think he'll do big things as host of the #TonightShowWithJimmyFallon
— Ryan Silapan (@RyanSilapan) February 18, 2014
Jimmy Fallon seems pretty funny. Can't wait until he's on TBS when Leno decides he wants to come back.
— AJ Lufkin (@alufkin21) February 18, 2014
You know you're a Fallon fan when you like his old set better than the new one. It definitely has to grow on me #FALLON
— James Vickary (@connvick) February 18, 2014
Jimmy Fallon is killing it. NBC made the right choice.

Iraqi officials say at least 58 people have been killed in a series of bombings -- most of them targeting Shi'ites in the capital Baghdad.
Multiple explosions occurred in Sadr City, a Shi'ite neighborhood in Baghdad. Security officials say at least one car bomb exploded near the office of anti-U.S. cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, killing 25 people and injuring at least 100. Officials say other bombings in the area targeted Shi'ite mosques and a marketplace.
Ambulance sirens wailed as panicked residents rushed to aid the injured. Soon after the explosions, crowds gathered to survey the damage. Video from the scene showed several burned-out vehicles, wrecked buildings and streets covered in blood.
The violence comes days after Iraqi officials announced the killings of two top leaders of al-Qaida in Iraq. The group has been blamed for much of the violence in Baghdad.
The number of attacks in the capital began rising after parliamentary elections in March, which yielded no clear winner. Authorities fear the country's uncertain political future is fueling the renewed violence.
Earlier Friday, in western Anbar province, Iraqi police said a series of roadside bombs killed at least six people and wounded 10 others.
Authorities say at least four explosions took place near houses owned by police officers and a judge in the town of Khalidiya.
It was not immediately clear if security forces were among the casualties.
Violence has been relatively low in Anbar since 2006, when Sunni militant leaders turned against al-Qaida and started to help U.S. and Iraqi forces fight insurgents.

Welcome to Holy Cross School. From our humble beginnings in 1849 to the magnificent campus we dedicated in 2010, we have been able to offer a holistic approach to education for the past 165 years.
In the tradition of our beloved founder, Blessed Basile Moreau, C.S.C., at Holy Cross we educate the whole person—mind, body, heart and soul.
With an abundance of extracurricular activities from our award-winning debate and robotics teams to our highly acclaimed Tiger Band and athletics
teams, all exist to form the whole person. Our extensive retreat program and service projects complete the formation of heart and soul.
Holy Cross is regarded as one of the most unique in metropolitan New Orleans. When we expand our "Boys to Men" mission in the fall of 2015,
the addition of grades prekindergarten through fourth will structure Holy Cross as the only prekindergarten through twelfth grade all-boys Catholic school in the greater New Orleans area.
As an alumnus of the class of 1964, I am extremely proud to have experienced being a student, a member of the faculty, and now Headmaster of this outstanding institution.
I look forward to continuing the mission of Father Moreau and shaping the lives of the next generation of Holy Cross men.
Sincerely yours in Holy Cross,
Charles J. DiGange '64
As we begin the 166th year of this storied institution, we take pride in fact that we are the second oldest Holy Cross
Institution in the United States and that we have been "educating hearts and minds" for all those many years. Our mission,
bestowed on us from the very founder of the Congregation of Holy Cross, Blessed Basile Moreau, drives all that we do.
The focus on a rigorous curriculum is of utmost importance as we prepare our young men to meet the increasing demands of college.
We offer 13 Advanced Placement courses, as well as Dual Enrollment college level courses. Our commitment to academic excellence
is also demonstrated through the implementation of the "Scholars Program", with unique elective courses like "Seminar of Western
Philosophical Thought", Advanced Speech and Rhetoric and Senior Thesis Workshop.
The spiritual side of the mission is realized through the many opportunities for service, our Immersion and Retreat programs, as well
as weekly opportunities to attend the liturgy. Our guys have the ability to deepen their faith and realize the ultimate education of
the "whole man". All of these experiences combine to make the Holy Cross experience one that not only fulfills our mission but one that
is completely life changing. We invite you to become part of the Holy Cross family and partner with us to develop the whole man, "mind and heart, body and soul".
Dr. Joseph H. Murry, Jr.
Director of Curriculum and Instruction, Mrs. Patty Hrapmann Masters +30, 40 years in education, 7 years at Holy Cross
Beginning in the 5th grade at Holy Cross, students embrace a rigorous course of studies that provides them with the foundation for academic success. The Holy Cross enhanced course of studies is based on college and career readiness standards identified by the State of Louisiana as well as ACT. Standards-referenced assessment ensures that students are striving to achieve challenging standards that are accepted by colleges as students are prepared for success in the global workplace.
Each year individual student assessment data is disaggregated and evaluated by faculty and administration to support data driven decision making. Research shows that value-added analysis provides a more accurate way to measure student academic progress. According to the system for Teacher and Student Advancement, "Value-added analysis tracks the same student over time and compares his/her test scores over several years." The ability to track individual student growth is a strong indicator of student and course of studies success.
Faculty and administration identify and implement school wide initiatives targeting successful research based practice. Two important recent initiatives are Discovery Walks and the AdvancED Accreditation processes. These programs provide guidance to assure that Holy Cross provides a world class learning experience for our students.
Opportunities for professional growth are identified based on classroom observations, teacher surveys and test data. Teachers attend local, state and national conferences. These teachers provide in-house training for the faculty. These opportunities are part of our professional learning communities which provide the basis for collegial conversations.
Sincerely Yours,
Patty Hrapmann
Director of Curriculum and Instruction

WALNUT CREEK — At 25 acres, it's the size of the city's traditional downtown, but half of the lot at the corner of Ygnacio Valley and Oak Grove roads is untouched, a home to ground squirrels and oak trees — not a norm for this city.
Which is why a mixed development complete with a Safeway-anchored shopping center, senior housing, amphitheater, park and four acres of open space in eastern Walnut Creek has taken nearly three years to plan.
On Tuesday, the project, with vocal supporters and opponents, will go to the City Council for a final decision at 7 p.m. at City Hall, 1666 N. Main St. If the council approves, construction of the 195,000-square-foot shopping center would likely start this year.
Safeway-operated Property Development Centers has been pushing for years to develop the property, which is currently home to some of the grocery giant's corporate offices at the entrance to the Shadelands Business Park. The proposal, dubbed The Orchards, includes a health club, roof-top parking, restaurants, outdoor open plazas, retail shops, a splash area for children, outdoor dining, a community room and a one-mile meandering trail through the development.
"We feel like we have developed this plan with all the community involvement that we were able to muster," said Deb Karbo, of Property Development Centers, at a Planning Commission meeting May 22.
The mixed-use center is expected to generate $82.7 million a year in sales, according to an urban decay study done on the proposed development.
The plan has garnered more than 300 comments for the environmental review, and while some residents say it's time the area had more restaurants, a bigger Safeway, open space and park for children, others have been against it from the beginning.
Concerns range from added traffic and the loss of trees to the effect the new development will have on surrounding centers; specifically, with a new Whole Foods coming to the current Safeway site on Ygnacio, many fear it spells doom for the older Nob Hill nearby. Opponents claim that Walnut Creek has created a windfall for Safeway.
"It's totally overkill and will not serve our neighborhood; our neighborhood is served by the present establishments that are there," resident Brad Rose said at the meeting.
But supporters say the focus should be on how much the neighborhood will benefit, specifically children with a water park, playground and performance areas.
"I think it's a very exciting and vibrant project for our side of town," said resident Kim Harris. "To me, this is really not a strip mall; it's something much more than a strip mall, and I don't get the sense that people are focused on that."
The plan calls for the removal of 199 trees — 30 highly protected trees — and developers say they will re-plant 614 trees. The city's arborist has approved all but 46 of the trees to be removed.
That leaves it up to the City Council to determine that the tree removal is necessary. This is a particular sticking point with some residents who point to the city's recent battle to preserve trees that Pacific Gas & Electric wants to take down.
"The city ought to adopt the same forceful response it has taken with PG&E," said Steve Elster, who lives nearby and has followed the project from the beginning. "If the city does ultimately acquiesce to Safeway's tree-removal plan, that will set a terrible precedent for the city's future consideration of PG&E's tree-removal plan and all other tree-removal plans."
Elster and others have recently formed "Friends of Walnut Creek," which he says will represent "our concerns about Safeway's development and the city's noncompliance with the California Environmental Quality Act."
He argues that there are reasonable alternatives, such as not including a supermarket in the project or having Safeway develop the western half of the property and leave the eastern half as open space.
Neither option is endorsed by Safeway, and developers have constantly reminded the public that this is private property and not city-owned open space.
If approved, this could mean retail and housing in a business park that has never seen these uses. Real estate reports show that shopping centers in Walnut Creek are at 98 percent capacity — which is basically unheard of in North America, said John Cumbelich, a Walnut Creek real estate broker.
"That is statistically next to impossible, and what that does mean is there is way more demand than there is supply," he said.
The project started well before the announcement in March that private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management, which owns the Albertson's chain, will purchase Safeway for $9 billion. Some in the community have argued that it's premature to approve a plan when Safeway may shutter stores. But there is already a pre-agreement with Cerberus for this site, Karbo said.
"PDC owns this property, so when Cerberus does buy Safeway, and if it buys Safeway, Cerberus would be our tenant," Karbo said. "It's not like they can come in and decide they don't want this store."
How far residents opposed to the project are willing to go is unclear. Elster says "Friends of Walnut Creek" does not know whether it will take its arguments all the way to court if the project is approved, but the group is looking for an attorney.

Young Mother Sewing was painted by Mary Cassatt in 1900. During the 1870s and 1880s, Cassatt often depicted women out and about in Paris, where she had settled in 1874. During the 1890s, she narrowed the range of her subjects to mothers or nurses caring for children and children alone.
These themes reflected her affection for her nieces and nephews and her friends' children and her contemporaries' concern with motherhood and child rearing. Set in the conservatory of Cassatt's seventeenth-century manor house near Le Mesnil-Theribus, Oise, this painting depicts two of her favorite, unrelated models in the roles of mother and child. Famous oil paintings for sale
Louisine Havemeyer, who purchased the painting in 1901, remarked on its truth to experience: "Look at that little child that has just thrown herself against her mother's knee, regardless of the result and oblivious to the fact that she could disturb 'her mamma.' And she is quite right. Mamma simply draws back a bit and continues to sew. This painting can be reproduced on canvas by DayDayPaint.com. Original Dimensions: Height: 92.4 cm, Width: 73.7 cm.

Don't look now, but there could be another managerial candidate on the market very soon.
And one who's very familiar with Boston, to boot.
With the dismissals of Tal Smith, the director of baseball operations, and Ed Wade, the general manager, by new owner Jim Crane in Houston, you can't help but wonder if Brad Mills is next. Mills, the Red Sox bench coach under Terry Francona from 2004-09, has managed the Astros since 2010, and usually when the housecleaning starts it doesn't spare anyone . . . especially the guy in the dugout.
And especially when the guy in the dugout has a record of 132-192 in his two seasons. But it's beyond dispute that the talent cupboard in Houston is bare, and that no one -- Joe Torre, Tony La Russa, Casey Stengel, John McGraw, you name 'em -- could have succeeded with the collection of palookas the Astros have had in uniform. As bad as the team has performed on the field, Mills has acquitted himself well. From Richard Justice of the Houston Chronicle:
Hes an excellent communicator and holds players accountable. Forget everything else you think you know about managing a Major League Baseball team. If a manager doesnt do those two things, he has no chance of succeeding, and then all the other stuff we use to evaluate them doesnt matter . . . Mills has been able to walk that hard-to-define line to get his players to like and respect him while knowing they cant take advantage of him. Theres a decency about Brad that plays well over the long haul. Hes consistent with what he expects of players. Hes also got a tough side. He demands his guys play the game a certain way. He will not tolerate disrespecting either him or the game.Sounds like a nice fit for these chicken-and-beer Red Sox, doesn't it? Especially if -- like me -- you're not over the moon about either Bobby Valentine or Gene Lamont.The chances of Mills landing here are slim and none. He doesn't have a track record of big-league success -- say what you will about Valentine and Lamont, but they both do -- and he'd probably be (very) reluctant to take the seat of his best friend, Francona, after the somewhat acrimonious parting Tito had here. Plus, he hasn't been fired yet. A technicality, perhaps, but it's got to happen before he can go anywhere else.Still, as a card-carrying member of the Bobby V.Gene Skeptics Club, I can dream, can't I?

Verizon Wireless Celebrates Parkersburg, W.Va. As Company's 500th 4G LTE Market
Verizon Donates $50,000 to Five Domestic Violence Organizations
Jun 27, 2013, 11:18 ET from Verizon Wireless
PARKERSBURG, W.Va., June 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Verizon Wireless announced that Parkersburg, W.Va. is the 500th market to launch the company's 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution), the nation's largest 4G LTE network.
"This is great news, and a win-win for West Virginia," said Senator Jay Rockefeller. "Building our technology infrastructure and making certain every corner of our state has dependable, advanced wireless service remains one of my top priorities. As Chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, I have tried to spur wireless investment in West Virginia and promote greater technology deployments on all fronts. Verizon's expanded service in Parkersburg will create exciting new opportunities for the area, particularly for local businesses and schools. I want to commend Verizon for its commitment to expanding 4G LTE service in West Virginia, now in 19 markets in the state, since it first launched LTE here just two and a half years ago."
"West Virginia is making real advancements when it comes to connectivity and Verizon Wireless has played an integral role in helping to expand our state's access to high quality, high speed wireless Internet access," Senator Joe Manchin said. "Whether as West Virginia's Governor or as a U.S. Senator, I have strongly encouraged investments in technology. Access to technology and the ability to use smartphones and tablets seamlessly in everyday life, whether it's work or play or education or healthcare or business is critical to the future of our state, the lives of our citizens, and our economic growth. It's important to look to the needs of our state's future, and Verizon Wireless has helped us do just that."
By crossing the 500th market threshold, Verizon's initial 4G LTE build-out is now substantially complete. Now available to more than 95 percent of the population, Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE network now covers more than 298 million people in the U.S. and more than 99 percent of the company's 3G network footprint.
"Advancements in technology access are to be celebrated," said West Virginia Governor Earl Ray Tomblin. "Congratulations to Verizon Wireless for reaching this important milestone."
"Verizon's commitment to the state of West Virginia is important to our local economy and the quality of life for all West Virginians," said United States Representative David B. McKinley. "With Parkersburg now the 500th market for Verizon's LTE service, thousands of West Virginians will now enjoy the same access to clear communications with families, friends, and colleagues, as well as high-speed downloads and Internet on their phones, just as so many do throughout the nation in urban areas."
To celebrate the designation of Parkersburg as the 500th market to experience Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE technology, Verizon Wireless officials gathered at Parkersburg's historic Blennerhassett Hotel to discuss the significance of this milestone and what 4G LTE means to Parkersburg residents. During the event, Verizon also presented five domestic violence organizations with $10,000 each in grants made available through the company's award-winning HopeLine® program. These organizations included the Parkersburg Family Crisis Intervention Center, an organization that provides services and shelter for victims of domestic violence. The following organizations from across the state and nearby Marietta, Ohio, also received donations:
- Eve Inc. Safe House, from Marietta, Ohio;
- West Virginia Coalition Against Domestic Violence;
- YWCA Resolve, from Charleston, W.Va., and;
- Branches, from Huntington, W.Va.
Earlier this week, Verizon hosted a citywide scavenger hunt that gave Parkersburg residents a chance to win one of 10 brand new 4G LTE smartphones or tablets. Verizon hid 100 pins in secret locations around town. Residents joined the scavenger hunt by texting 4GLTE to 49640 for full details and up-to-the-minute clues that led them to the locations of the pins. Those who found a pin brought it to today's event where they were entered into a raffle for the chance to win one of 10 4G LTE smartphones or tablets.
More about 4G LTE
Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE network is changing the way people and businesses communicate and innovate, enabling them to wirelessly connect more and more with new solutions in healthcare, entertainment, education and more – enhancing their lives in every way.
In real-world, fully loaded network environments, 4G LTE users should experience average data rates of 5 to 12 megabits per second (Mbps) on the downlink and 2 to 5 Mbps on the uplink. When customers travel outside of 4G LTE coverage areas, devices automatically connect to the Verizon Wireless 3G network, where available, enabling customers to stay connected from coast to coast.

11 Thought Leaders to Follow on LinkedIn
What is a LinkedIn thought leader? Reaching a network of 200 million people, this elite group includes some of the most influential thinkers in the world. When LinkedIn launched the program in 2012, there were only 150 thought leaders—some world renowned thinkers like President Barack Obama and Sir Richard Branson as well as industry-specific movers and shakers like Emotional Intelligence 2.0 author Dr. Travis Bradberry and investor James Caan.
Unfortunately, there isn't an application process for the prestigious title of LinkedIn influencer. Rather, individuals are invited to receive the coveted "influencer" badge if they exhibit a unique blend of expertise, vision, and leadership. This means individuals are not only successful and have proven ideas for how others can be successful—they also inspire people to act. Scroll through to meet the thought leaders whose words are transforming the way we think about life, work, and happiness.
With 249k LinkedIn followers, Caterina Fake is one of the most influential women on LinkedIn. An English major at Vassar, Fake went on to co-found several companies including Flickr, Funch, and Findrey. She also serves as Chairman of Etsy, serves on the board of Creative Commons, and is an active angel investor. Our favorite Fake article is "How to Create Time." In it, she outlines six ways in which we could get more out of our 24-hour day. To begin, she makes the bold claim that we should eliminate or reduce media, work offline, and do less. Follow Fake to learn how this over-achiever can advocate for doing less.
Patricia Wooster Flickr Cofounder and Web Community Creator Caterina Fake ($8)
In his book Emotional Intelligence 2.0, Dr. Travis Bradberry explains what emotional intelligence is and how to improve your own. The Dalai Lama explained, "Emotional Intelligence 2.0 succinctly explains how to deal with emotions creatively and employ our intelligence in a beneficial way." As an influencer on LinkedIn, Dr. Bradberry shares his science-supported conclusions about everything from regret to integrity. Our favorite story is "How (And Why) to Become a Talented Listener" in which he articulates the importance of listening with your entire body in order to stay on top of your professional game. Follow Dr. Bradberry and up your emotional intelligence game.
Travis Bradberry Emotional Intelligence 2.0 ($14)
Liz Ryan is a human resources veteran who founded the global movement Human Workplace in 2012 as a means to bring human interactions and emotions back into the workplace. Her philosophy is that it's easier to inspire and motivate people than to watch them like hawks. "We measure too much at work, we poke and prod people too much, and we care too much about particles when we should be focusing on waves (of energy and trust and goodwill, of momentum and team cohesion) around us," Ryan says. Follow Liz Ryan to learn about how to make your work life more enjoyable.
Liz Ryan Happy About Online Networking ($20)
As President of the Sheryl Sandberg-founded Lean In Organization, Rachel Schall Thomas knows how to make her voice heard. But that doesn't mean she's not vulnerable. "I try to build what I like to call 'confidence reserves,'" Thomas tells Entrepreneur. "Each week, I spend a few minutes writing down my accomplishments and star the ones that felt like a stretch. If you do this, I'm willing to bet you'll begin to see a pattern of success."
We love Thomas's LinkedIn articles like "Why Take Your Kids to Work Day Matters" and "You Miss 100% of the Shots You Don't Take." Thomas isn't afraid to say it like it is. For example, in a recent article entitled "Corporate America Is Not on a Path to Gender Equality," Thomas stated, "Based on recent progress, it will take more than 100 years to reach gender parity in the C-suite, and the reasons may surprise you." For more truthful insights and strategies on how to be a working mom, follow Rachel Thomas on LinkedIn.
One of the most spiritually enlightened voices of our time, Deepak Chopra uses LinkedIn as an effective platform to spread his messages about faith, power, defeat, and success. With more than 4.1 million followers, Deepak has a large audience every time he publishes an article.
One of our favorite articles is "A Path to Personal Forgiveness: Defeat the Three Dragons." In it, Deepak discusses how he thinks forgiveness needs to be brought down to earth—meaning forgiveness needs to become more of a human act as opposed to a divine act. "Millions of people feel justified in clinging to their own dragons (judgment, anger, and blame), and it takes conviction to realize that nothing about judgment, anger, and blame actually serves anyone's self-interest." To learn more about the way Chopra teaches us to be kind to ourselves, follow him in LinkedIn.

In 2000, Fortune named Jack Welch, the legendary General Electric CEO, "manager of the century." During his tenure at General Electric, the company's value rose 4,000%. Since then, Welch has written several books and articles outlining his philosophy of success. His recent article "Six Ways to Tell if You Work for a Really Great Company" flips the tables and allows us to inquire about our company's success, not our own. In the article Welch professes that great companies "demonstrate a real commitment to continuous learning, are meritocracies, keep their hiring standards tight, and encourage risk taking." There is a lot to learn from this iconic businessman on LinkedIn.
Jack Welch The Real Life MBA ($19)
As one of the most influential voices in media, Arianna Huffington is definitely someone whom we always want to learn more about. She meditates every morning, gives TED talks about the importance of sleep, and encourages women to speak up for themselves. On LinkedIn Huffington publishes sage advice in articles like "There's Enough Time in Your Life for Everything Important" that ease your mind while also encouraging you to thrive. We love Huffington's honesty, her relentless effort to stay at the top of her game, and her relatability. Make sure to follow Arianna Huffington on LinkedIn.
President Obama was one of the first voices given the title of LinkedIn influencer back in 2012. As the leader of the free world, President Obama's voice is undeniably influential. His LinkedIn account, which is followed by more than 2.4 million people, reminds us of the humanity of our president. You should definitely follow the President on LinkedIn.
On LinkedIn people praise James Caan's leadership, humility, and technical expertise. As an entrepreneur, mentor, and television personality, he is well versed in inspiring others to act. His mobile app, James Caan Business Secrets, is one of the most successful business apps of all time. After joining the elite ranks of 150 LinkedIn Influencers, Caan quickly surpassed President Barack Obama and UK Prime Minister David Cameron in number of followers. He dispenses invaluable advice through LinkedIn articles like "The Perfect CV" and is one of the best thought leaders to follow if you are a professional of any sort.
Lewis Howes and Frank Agin LinkedWorking ($10)
Gretchen Rubin's book The Happiness Project is a #1 New York Times and an international bestseller. Rubin developed her idea for The Happiness Project as a yearlong experiment in which she tried to amplify her happiness quotient. With her law and psychology background, the Yale alum conveyed her progress through charts and analytical data. But her message inspired millions of others to try to increase their happiness. Through her books, blog articles, and speaking engagements, Rubin conveys complex ideas about human habits in a way that is accessible and adaptable for a wide range of listeners. On LinkedIn Rubin explores topics like joy and self-knowledge in stories such as "What Gave Lena Dunham the Truest Feeling of Joy?" and "7 Things I Learned About Myself, From Getting a Dog."

Santiago Hotel Guide
A Taste of Chile
Santiago is a vibrant and expanding commercial and cultural hub. Many international corporations have a presence here. In addition, there are 174 heritage sites sprinkled throughout the city's colorful and lively blocks. Local architecture is a mix of buildings that went up during Spanish domination and cutting-edge constructions. You'll love touring the city's shrines, monuments, palaces, and churches as you travel through a mix of boulevards, winding streets, and cobblestone walkways. The city's museums, theaters, libraries, and heritage sites exude elegance and sophistication. Restaurants and nightclubs showcase the youthful and innovative energy of Santiago.

Aside from resembling a Spanish city, Santiago also enjoys a fabulous Mediterranean climate. The summer season here lasts from November to March. You can expect temperatures around 95 degrees Fahrenheit during the city's sweet summer months. Winter hovers over the city from June until August. Temperatures typically stay near 55 degrees Fahrenheit during this period. Conditions are pleasant enough to walk around the city for shopping, dining, and sightseeing throughout every month of the year. Many visitors from the Northern Hemisphere stay at Santiago (and vicinity) hotels to take advantage of reversed seasons.

Hotel Alfonso XIII opened in 1928, with a sumptuous banquet attended by the eponymous King of Spain and Queen Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg. Designed by the architect José Espiau y Muñoz, the hotel was built to house dignitaries visiting the international exposition which presented the nearby 'Plaza de Espana' as the Spanish pavilion. As the building is a historic monument and part of the city's proud cultural heritage, it is owned by the City of Seville.
Following an extensive and painstaking renovation which took most of 2012, the hotel reopened and is now managed by Starwood Hotels' 'Luxury Collection' division.
The way the interior and exterior of this building are decorated is typically Sevillan. Its Neo-Mudejar style, inspired by Arab architecture, is meant to remind guests of the city's rich cultural heritage. Ornamented ceramic tiles (azulejos) decorate walls, ceilings and even bathrooms.
Throughout its history, numerous celebrities and VIPs have stayed at Hotel Alfonso XIII. Among them are Prince Rainier and Grace of Monaco; Prince Charles and Princess Diana; and the kings of Sweden, Norway, Morocco, Nepal, Denmark, Jordan, Belgium, the Netherlands, Greece, Spain, and more. Additionally, it has been a stopping point for international personalities such as Ernest Hemingway, Eva Perón, Orson Welles, Audrey Hepburn, Jackie Kennedy, Sophia Loren, Plácido Domingo, José Carreras, Brad Pitt, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Shakira!
The rooms at Alfonso XIII are decorated in different styles, paying homage to different eras of Seville: Andalusian, Castilian, and Moorish styles. All the rooms are very spacious and well equipped. Junior Suites at this hotel mostly consist of two entirely separate rooms, and suites are very large and extravagantly appointed.
The hotel boasts several options for dining and snacking. Ena combines Catalonian and Andalusian cooking styles, and serves aperitifs, shared plates, tapas, cocktails, and wines. The San Fernando restaurant offers impeccably prepared regional and international dishes, and is one of the best known restaurants in Seville. Situated in the hotel's lush gardens, Taifas boasts a magnificent Lebanese menu. Finally the hotel's American bar offers cocktails and live music on the weekends.
The swimming pool is behind the hotel, set in lush gardens and surrounded by palm trees. Complimentary towels and sun beds are provided. The swimming pool is open seasonally from April to September.
The hotel is very close to the center of Seville and its sights and monuments. The Alcazar, Cathedral, the bullring, the river and the Plaza de Espana are all within easy reach. We'll be happy to arrange sightseeing tours, flamenco shows, or even ham tastings before you go, and the 24 hour concierge can help you arrange meals and activities while you're in Seville.
Location & Directions
Seville, Andalucia, Spain
Hotel Alfonso XIII benefits from a prime location in the center of Seville.
When to go
Andalucia has a Mediterranean climate, making it a year round destination. In general you can usually rely on pleasant or hot temperatures from April to early November. In Andalucia there are plenty of warm, sunny days right through winter. The best time to visit Seville is in the Spring and Fall when the temperature is just perfect with warm sunny days. During July and August it can be very hot and some days the temperature reaches 40°C. In August the locals head to the coast and much of the city closes.

Tensilica announced the ConnX D2 16-bit dual-MAC (Multiply Accumulator) DSP (Digital Signal Processor) engine for the Xtensa LX dataplane processor cores. The ConnX D2 DSP engine delivers high performance from C code. As a result, virtually any C program, including those written with C intrinsic functions for the TI C6x family or ITU (International Telecommunications Union) reference code, can run unmodified and with excellent performance on the ConnX D2 DSP engine. The ConnX D2 DSP option for the Xtensa LX processor will be available in October 2009.
ConnX D2 Features and Benefits
- Both SIMD and 2-way FLIX (parallel VLIW) operations
- Optimized, vectorizing XCC Compiler
- High-performance DSP instruction set
- Dual write ports compute up to three results/cycle
- Supports TI (C6x) and ITU-T C intrinsic code base
- Bit-for-bit compatible with TI C6X code
- C-centric programming model supports standard C 16-bit, 32-bit and 40-bit data types
- Outstanding "out of the box" performance on compiled C source
- Reduces or eliminates the need for assembly code
- Performance acceleration for vectorizable code
- VLIW parallel execution for non-vectorizable code
- Large base of pre-optimized C code
- Quick and easy compiling of C code optimized with TI C6x intrinsics
- Quickly leverage all ITU-T reference code using ITU C intrinsics
Because of its large ITU software code base available, the customizable ConnX D2 DSP engine is ideal for telecom infrastructure and VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) applications. In addition, its small size (less than 70,000 gates) makes the ConnX D2 DSP engine is ideal for a wide variety of low-power portable consumer applications including mobile wireless devices, next-generation disk drives and data storage, home entertainment devices, and computer peripherals.
The ConnX D2 DSP engine supports a wide range of data types (e.g., 16-, 32-, and 40-bit integer and fixed point; 16-bit complex; 8- and 16-bit vector), seven addressing schemes, and data manipulation instructions including shifting, swapping, and logical operations to provide outstanding performance on DSP algorithms. For specific DSP algorithm acceleration, the ConnX D2 engine instructions include Add-Compare-Exchange (used with Viterbi), Add Modulo, Add Subtract, and Add Bit Reverse Base. Used in conjunction with a bit reversed addressing scheme, this instruction set delivers extremely efficient FFT implementations.
The ConnX D2 SIMD unit is supported by a comprehensive set of instructions for vector loads and stores that support multiple data widths and SIMD data register loading orders, which can be aligned or unaligned.
Every Xtensa LX DPU with (or without) the ConnX D2 DSP engine is automatically generated with a complete set of software development and modeling tools matched to the exact DPU configuration. Designers use Tensilica's Xtensa Xplorer Eclipse-based GUI (graphical user interface) as the cockpit for the entire design experience. From Xtensa Xplorer, designers can profile their application code and make the changes in the processor necessary to speed up that code. Designers can also pick from options for processor interfaces, memories, operating systems support, EDA scripts, debug and trace, and more.

(Adds Siem Shipping, Carlyle, Severstal, Terna)
May 14 (Reuters) - The following bids, mergers, acquisitions and disposals were reported by 2000 GMT on Wednesday:
** Norway's Siem Shipping Inc has withdrawn its bid for French group SNCM, in a blow to environmental services group Veolia which has been trying for years to sell the loss-making operator of ferries between France and Corsica.
** U.S. private equity group Carlyle has appointed Rothschild to explore possible exit options for UK firm Integrated Dental Holdings (IDH), two sources familiar with the matter said on Wednesday, in a deal which one said could be worth between 1 billion pounds ($1.7 billion) and 1.5 billion.
** Russian steelmaker Severstal said on Wednesday it was considering a range of strategic options in relation to its North American operations.
A Russian source familiar with the matter said on Monday that Severstal had received bids from potential buyers for its operations in the United States which consist of steel plants in Dearborn, Michigan and Columbus, Mississippi.
** Italy's power grid operator Terna has submitted an expression of interest for a Greek peer, the company's financial director said on Wednesday.
** Yahoo Inc has bought Blink, a mobile messaging startup that lets users send messages that self-destruct at a time set by the sender.
** U.S. drugs wholesaler McKesson plans to offer investors who did not tender their shares in Celesio less than what it paid previously, as it seeks full control over its German peer.
** Pfizer said it would ringfence the development of important drugs if it acquired AstraZeneca, rejecting a charge from the British company that a takeover would disrupt important research and put lives at risk.
Unions representing AstraZeneca workers in Sweden called on Wednesday for the government to take a clear stand against Pfizer's offer for the firm, echoing British concerns that a deal could damage local scientific research.
** Britain's biggest sporting goods retailer, Sports Direct , is in talks to buy 30 British gyms, in a move that would mark its entrance into the health and fitness industry.
** The offer made by U.S. conglomerate General Electric to take over Alstom's power arm is "a very good opportunity" for the engineering group, French Energy Minister Segolene Royal told weekly magazine Paris Match.
** Sears Holdings Corp said it was looking to sell its 51 percent stake in Sears Canada Inc in a process that could result in all of the struggling Canadian department store operator being put up for sale.
** Austrian crane maker Palfinger has sold new shares to China's Sany Heavy Industry Co Ltd in a deal to consolidate their strategic partnership, it said on Wednesday.
** BHP Billiton is in talks to sell its Australian nickel business, the top global miner said on Wednesday, in line with its aim of simplifying the company.
** China's state-backed Citic Pacific Ltd said on Wednesday that an independent financial advisor had found the terms and conditions of its proposed acquisition of some of its parent's assets "fair and reasonable".
** The euro zone's biggest bank, Santander, is close to selling a stake in its securities custody business, worth up to 1 billion euros ($1.38 billion) as a whole, to several private equity firms, Expansion newspaper reported on Wednesday.
** A consortium that includes Singapore tycoon Ong Beng Seng and Wheelock Properties (Singapore) Ltd has increased its offer price for a stake in Hotel Properties Ltd to S$4 per share, valuing the company at around S$2.07 billion ($1.65 billion).
** Etisalat has completed its purchase of a 53-percent stake in Maroc Telecom from Paris-listed Vivendi for 4.14 billion euros, the United Arab Emirates operator said in a statement on Wednesday.

Fiat Chrysler does not have any offers on the table that could eventually lead to merger talks, Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne admitted.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has been looking in the last couple of years for a partner to streamline its costs, but this plan has not been a successful one. Sergio Marchionne, the brain behind the merger deal that created the world's seventh-largest carmaker, pushed for another massive transformation deal, aiming to join forces with General Motors, but the Detroit-based maker refused the offer. More recently, there have been some rumors regarding merger talks between Peugeot and FCA, speculations that were eventually dismissed by Marchionne. Speaking on the sidelines of the Geneva Auto Show, the CEO said that his company was not engaged in any other tie-up takes at present and a potential partner would need to have the same multi-brand strategy as FCA for a merger to work. He also wanted to reiterate that since GM rejected the talks, Fiat Chrysler was probably going to remain in its current state and another transformation would not happen, at least while he was still in charge.
Marchionne later said that GM, Volkswagen and to some extent Renault-Nissan had a similar strategy to FCA, while it was difficult to imagine how a merge with Ford could work given its one-brand focus. "When it comes to consolidation, we have always focused our efforts on companies that have the same DNA…you cannot merge with someone that does not understand you," Marchionne said. "Volkswagen, GM are companies that understand this reality well, they continue to be points of reference … and to some extent Renault-Nissan … they have experience of multi-brands," he said. "It's difficult to imagine other alliances." Marchionne said FCA had been approached by other auto makers but the options were not sufficiently attractive.

'In 4,000 ft. of film, spectators may follow the adventures of Jack Rundle, in bush and in city. The picture affords a glimpse of the young man at his work on a station, and tells of his love for Nellie Fallon, his father's ward. He leaves the station to attend to business in the city, and is tempted into dangerous society. Later comes the realisation that he has ruined his life, and he returns in sorrow to his father's home. There is no sympathy for the leper, and he wanders into the world, an outcast. Some years later he returns to the old homestead, and finds that the faithful love of his brother has been rewarded by Nellie Fallon, and two happy children have added to the delights of their home. The end comes dramatically with the suicide of the outcast.'

Review – Bermuda Tentacles
Hi Guys! Thanks for checking out my Review of BERMUDA TENTACLES! The Plot for this TV Movie is quickly told. The President of the United States (John Savage) crashes in his Plane over the Bermuda Triangle. He is equipped with a Survival-Chamber, that sinks to the Ocean for a Rescue Team to pick him up. In order to do this Job, the Army sends their least obedient Soldiers and Linda Hamilton to save one of the most important Men in the World, the american President. Note the subliminal Plot-criticism?
Well, but on their Way to the President, they are attacked by giant Tentacles, coming up from the bottom of the Ocean. And if it wasn´t already weird enough, the President ends up being trapped by Aliens in a deep sea cave, hoping for th Navy Seals to save the Day.
Oh well, heavy Stuff. BERMUDA TENTACLES is one of the infamous Asylum/Syfy Tv Movies and definitely makes up to it´s name. But i don´t want to be too hard on it because it was one of the better Asylum Films that i´ve seen in a while. John Savage is one of the Highlights and he plays his Role as President pretty good. He so doesn´t look like a President with his super-long Hair but it´s solid Acting and that´s absolutely a Plus.
Not so sure about Linda Hamilton, because i felt like her acting was really mediocre with some failure phenomena every now and then. And it´s absolutely not my Intention to be mean because everyone ages but she looks like she´s approaching her 103rd Birthday. Really, i am not exaggerating. I am still shocked that she a.) took this Role and b.)that she took this Role and wasn´t even good in it. Really, i don´t know which Manager or consultant convinced her to take that Role, but she should fire him. At this Point, the only hope i have for her is that she scores a Role in a Tarantino Movie.
For Asylum, this is absolutely one of the better Movies and i am pretty sure it will be somewhat successful. There are two or three good Actors in it and some of the Effects with the Alien Lifeform towards the End are really good. But don´t be fooled…there are some other CGI Effects that looked like they were the Result of a bad fiver Gig or something like that. Keyword "Tentacles". OH MY GOD. And it really amazes me that they weren´t able to make a better Job with them, because they are an important Element. It is as if the CGI were split up between two Special Effects Companies and while some are really decent, some others were plain gruesome.
I assume they spent all the Budget on Linda Hamilton and John Savage. The Storyline is really borderline and the continual disobedience of the Soldiers makes you really Angry at Times. There´s one Guy who ignores Linda Hamilton´s Orders to abort the Rescue Mission all the Time and Linda is like "mmhh, alright, whatever" and when he finally arrives back home with the President, she´s like cheering and smiling like a chipmunk with a thumb in her Nose. You know, she´s only the Admiral, which is something like the highest Rank in the Navy and everyone seems to ignore the little Lady with the grim Look. Actually, it´s hilarious but she doesn´t really radiate authority and that´s somehow sad because she is a good Actress and she could have played that Role a lot better. But i guess she wasn´t really motivated when she realized where she had gotten herself into.
Again, for a TV-Movie, it´s not a bad Flick for a boring Sunday but you really need to be very forgiving with the whole Thing. It´s a Freakshow and entertains because of the Schadenfreude that you feel while watching a bad Movie. You Laugh about the bad Effects, the bad Acting or the ludicrosities of the Script. But since Schadenfreude is some kind of a positive Feeling too, the Movie manages to entertain somehow. But there never was a Moment that is genuinely scary or thrilling. Makes me miss the times when my favorite Bad-Movie from my Childhood, THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE (1978) was aired on Sunday Mornings.
