What is S-Ray?
Smart and simple to use, Arabesque S-Ray™ looks beneath a company's surface by assessing its extra financial performance, helping us to better understand its value to society.
Through machine learning and big data, Arabesque S-Ray™ systematically combines over 200 environmental, social and governance (ESG) metrics with news signals from over 50,000 sources across 15 languages.
It is the first tool of its kind to rate companies on the normative principles of the United Nations Global Compact: Human Rights, Labour Rights, the Environment, and Anti-Corruption (GC Score). Additionally, Arabesque S-Ray™ provides an industry-specific assessment of companies' performance on financially material sustainability criteria (ESG Score).
Both scores are combined with a preferences filter that allows anyone to better understand each company's business involvements, and how those activities align with personal values.
Arabesque S-Ray™ is a next generation transparency lens that can empower all stakeholders to make better decisions for a more sustainable future.
How Does It Work?
- GC Score (0-100) – a normative assessment of each company based on the core principles of the United Nations Global Compact.
- ESG Score (0-100) – a sector specific analysis of each company's performance on financially material environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues.
- Preferences Filter – a search tool that allows anyone to check the business involvements of companies against their personal values.
Arabesque S-Ray™ analyses companies based on the four core principles of the United Nations Global Compact (GC): human rights, labour rights, the environment and anti-corruption. With more than 9,000 corporate signatories from over 160 countries, the Global Compact is the world's largest corporate sustainability initiative. It calls on companies and stakeholders to conduct business responsibly, and to pursue opportunities that advance sustainable development goals. With Arabesque S-Ray™, these principles are quantified for the first time, with the potential to inspire more companies to take shared responsibility and join the Global Compact in its commitment to achieve a sustainable and inclusive global economy.
ESG Score
Arabesque S-Ray™ incorporates sector-specific assessments of company performance across financially material environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues. Each company is scored within the context of its industry environment, based on factors that have a significant relationship with future financial performance. The result is a proprietary ESG score for each company, providing an assessment of long-term financial performance.
Preferences Filter
We aim to make sustainable investing attractive and available to all. And at its core, this means aligning day-to-day investment and purchasing decisions with personal preferences. Built with this in mind, Arabesque S-Ray™ enables investors and consumers alike to research the business involvements of companies based on their own values, empowering everyone to make more informed decisions on how and where they use their money. The Preferences Filter offers selection tools based on the location, size and activities of a company, together with business involvements and faith compliance.

Orthopedic Research at North Carolina State University
- Nov 24, 2006
- Topics:
"We have all these new treatment options for lameness in the horse, but with no controlled studies to indicate whether their utilization is warranted or even effective," laments Rich Redding, DVM, MS, Dipl. ACVS, associate professor of equine surgery at North Carolina State University. And he's certainly not alone in wishing for more research on equine veterinary medical therapies.
Luckily for Redding and the rest of us, the new Equine Orthopedic Research Laboratory under the direction of Michael Schramme, DrVetMed, CertEO, PhD, DECVS, has several equine orthopedic research projects underway. Dianne Little, BVSc, PhD, MRCVS, Dipl. ACVS, Postdoctoral Fellow in Equine Orthopedics and Director of the Equine Outpatient Imaging Service, recently discussed their current research projects with The Horse.
Suspensory ligament investigation "We have funding from the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation to look at normal hind limb suspensory ligaments and compare magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings with ultrasound findings and ultimately histology (microscopic tissue examination)," she says. This work will help researchers learn more about normal suspensory ligament architecture and patterns of sub-clinical injury so they can better understand injuries that ultimately cause lameness.
New model of tendonitis "Other models of tendonitis use collagenase (to create lesions), which is an enzyme that breaks down tendon fibers," Little says. "The trouble with that is that you get a very unpredictable lesion size and shape, whereas we burr out the center of the tendon—physically creating a lesion. These lesions are much more similar to what you'd see with a clinical case. After surgery, we MRI the legs, and then we'll look at the gross lesions all the way down to histology and electron microscopy, and compare that to the ultrasound and MRI as they heal.
"With this model we can compare different treatments, because you can create identical lesions in both legs and deposit a known volume of cells or other treatments into the lesion," she adds. "We've got an ongoing study funded by U.S. Equestrian (Federation) at the moment that's looking at efficacy of bone marrow-derived stem cells using this model."
Stem cells There are two companies doing veterinary stem cell work (for hastening healing of tendon and ligament injuries) worldwide, says Little. One is VetStem in California, which uses use fat-derived cell fractions, and the other is VetCell, which produces stem cells derived from bone marrow and is based in London, England. "We are licensed by VetCell to grow bone marrow-derived stem cells for research use in tendon injuries, so what we grow here doesn't go out into the clinic, although these cells are now available commercially within the U.S." she says. She says this study will probably run for another five months.
Bone edema "We're also looking at a common injury of racing Thoroughbreds—fetlock disease," Little adds. "We have access to some front legs from Kentucky horses that broke down on the racetrack or were euthanized for other reasons. But we expect that a lot of them will have very early signs of fetlock disease, such as bone edema (bone 'bruise') in the distal cannon bone, which should show up on MRI. We'll also do histology to see what sort of microscopic injury there is and see how that correlates with the MRI exam, to see if the MRI might be a good way of screening these horses before they go on to develop palmar condylar osteonecrosis (a localized area of bone death due to trauma) or potentially catastrophic condylar fractures."
In other words, they will investigate the potential value of MRI as an early diagnostic tool. "If a horse isn't running quite right, or isn't performing quite as expected, or has fetlock pain, we could put him through the MRI and say, 'OK, he's got some bone edema here, maybe that's going to predispose him to potentially career-ending fetlock disease, so we need to back off on training,' " she explains.
IRAP Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist protein, or IRAP, has received lots of attention lately as a joint treatment for osteoarthritis and synovitis, particularly in horses that are showing a poor or short-lived response to conventional medications such as corticosteroids. Little says they are using this type of treatment from Arthrex Vet Systems. "We pull 50 mL of blood into the syringe with chromium sulfate-coated beads (to stimulate production of IRAP and other anti-inflammatory proteins from the blood)," she says. "Then you put it in an incubator for 24 hours, spin the serum off of it, then filter the serum and freeze it as single dose aliquots. We culture it for a week, which a lot of people don't do, so we know we're putting something sterile into the joint." There is still a lot of work to be done and clinical studies to be completed to fully evaluate this treatment, which has been used extensively in Germany; much of this basic research is being conducted by Wayne McIlwraith, BVSc, PhD, DSc, FRCVS, Dipl. ACVS, at Colorado State University.
Clinical studies Not every study takes place in a lab; another part of NC State's research efforts include investigation of clients' horses. One is an MRI study funded by the Bernice Barbour Foundation, which subsidized MRIs of horses with suspected high suspensory lesions for horses whose owners could not afford it. "We get to MRI more high suspensories, and the owners and horses get the best diagnostics possible," says Little. "The owners kept asking, 'Can we bring more horses in?' They found that frequently these horses have other lesions in the high suspensory region besides just a ligament injury--and they have been able to better direct treatment for these horses as a result."
Another study will provide foot radiographs of horses with various lameness problems presented for MRI. "This will tell us, for example, if horses with suspensory ligament injury are most likely to have a particular kind of foot conformation," she explains.
"Right now we're running three major funded studies, and then probably another five or six clinical studies that we're doing without funding, as well as maybe three or four pilot projects," she reports.
Challenges and Collaboration
"The biggest challenge in equine research is the expense," states Little. "For our research horses, next year it will cost $15 per day just to keep them standing in a stall, whereas for a mouse it's about 10 cents per day. So you burn through large amounts of cash very fast when doing horse research.
"The ultimate aim for us is to do something that has applications for the human field because that opens up many more funding opportunities," she says. "For example, this stem cell work has potential human applications. The horse's superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT) is the only tendon to experience similar or greater loads than the human Achilles tendon. So some of the work we're doing with stem cells in the SDFT could potentially have applications for the human Achilles tendon or other human tendons because if it produces a more functional tendon after injury in the horse, it will probably be of benefit in humans (and small animals)."
Work and ideas are also shared with small animal clinicians at NC State, and with colleagues in the comparative pain laboratory (who study ways of detecting and managing pain in small animals). "It really helps having the exchange of ideas and the possibility you could translate some stuff from small animals to large animals, and vice versa," says Little.
Yet another source of research collaboration is pharmaceutical companies. "Some drug companies are becoming more interested in collaborative research, because it's cheaper if you're already set up like we are here, rather than having to set up their own study facility," Little says. "So they'll contract with us to do these studies. We have a separate large animal surgery facility dedicated for research purposes. It's nice because we don't have to worry about scheduling research surgeries in at the beginning or end of day to fit around clinical work."
Perhaps Dick Mansmann, VMD, PhD, clinical professor and director of NC State's Equine Health Program, says it best: "There is a very small number of people trying to advance horse health for a very small number of horse owners compared to dog or cat owners. So the more we can all work together, the better off we'll be."

The group was formed in 2004 from the ashes of several Sheffield-based outfits. Matt Nicholls and Oliver Sykes used to attend local hardcore punk shows. The two later met Lee Malia, who spoke to the two about thrash metal and melodic death metal bands like Metallica and At The Gates. They officially formed in March of 2004. It started with drummer Nicholls, Malia, Sykes, and Curtis Ward (who ended up leaving) who all lived in the Rotherham area, then they finished the line up by inviting bassist Matt Kean.

They initially established their own label, Thirty Days of Night, to release their debut EP in 2005,
This Is What the Edge of Your Seat Was Made For
On signing to Visible Noise, they reissued the EP to a wider audience. Bring Me the Horizon's full-length debut,
Count Your Blessings
appeared in October 2006 with an American release following one year later, courtesy of Epitaph Records.
Their second album:
Suicide Season
, Bring Me the Horizon moved in a more accessible direction and wound up cracking the U.K. album charts. Not everyone approved of the new sound, though, and Ward left the band in early 2009. His temporary replacement was Jona Weinhofen.
Weinhofen ended up staying with the band as a permanent member, and the group returned to the studio with producer Fredrik Nordström in March 2010 to begin work on a third album. The resulting
There Is a Hell, Believe Me I've Seen It, There Is a Heaven, Let's Keep It a Secret
was released during the latter half of 2010, several months after the band wrapped up its engagement with the Warped Tour.
A fourth album, the more atmospheric
, arrived on Epitaph in 2013.
The band's name is derived from the final line of the film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, in which Captain Jack Sparrow says "Now, bring me that horizon."
Now...bring me that horizon
The band is unique in that it veers off the normal hardcore punk to slightly electronic and melodic sounds. The screaming in most cases is understandable and not as hardcore as some.

Having both, I can tell you that each have their own difficulties. Boys tend to get in trouble more, but girls tend to be fountains of pent up anxiety and angst - especially in their teenage years.
The good news is that they all grow up in time and you find yourself laughing at the years you thought surely would take your sanity.
If I had a choice ... I would still chose to have both, as each offers an experience and view of life that the other typically can't. :)
I hope this helps. :)

Well, I only have boys and they are hard enough :) I know my husband would have loved to have had a daddy's girl, but I know I was quite a handful as a teenager.
As a teacher, I would take a rowdy class of boys over girls any day, as the fights and cattiness are much less. However...the many displays of who is the alpha dog does start to get tiresome.
Here's to both boys and girls! Thank goodness there are both!

I have to say to start with that I don't have children of my own, but I have always heard from other people and seen from my sister, who has a boy and a girl, that it is indeed harder to raise girls.
It is also said that the bigger the child, the bigger the problem!
But going back to your question, the reason that girls may be harder to raise than boys is that for starters they are more delicate and need more protection. They are also more temperamental due to their fluctuating hormones and nowadays more promiscuous. This whole cocktail is quite hard for a parent to handle.
The uppermost fear that parents may have is that their daughter will end up getting pregnant and may ruin her life by being landed with a child far too soon and even while she is still studying.
Young girls are very stubborn and think that they know it all already and do not easily listen to any advice tha their parents my give them. So finally I would say that if you have a daughter, I wish you lots of patience and understanding.

Apr 06, 2010 Phil Blackwell Uncategorized
Now the Corcoran boys lacrosse team understands that, at its best, it can hang right with the best in the Section III Class A ranks.
Led by James Cathers and Derek Eccles, the Cougars withstood squandering a four-goal lead to reigning Class A champion West Genesee late in regulation and won, 12-11, in overtime Tuesday night in front of a loud, appreciative home crowd.
Cathers and Eccles each finished with five goals, carrying Corcoran's attack, so it was fitting that they would team up for the winning goal 32 seconds into overtime.
The Cougars won the faceoff in OT. Defying conventional strategy, head coach Shaun Smith did not call a time-out, saying that he would prefer the game to be in his top players' hands.
Sure enough, Eccles ended up with possession of the ball. He drew two WG defenders, then passed it to Cathers, standing next to the net, who easily flicked the ball past Wildcat goalie Tim Birchler.
So ended an exciting contest where Corcoran, coming off a season-opening win over Binghamton April 1 where Cathers had eight goals and two assists, led most of the way, only to fall victim to a furious West Genesee rally.
Going in, Corcoran knew that it had a great chance to get a rare win over WG. While the Cougars return most of its starters from 2009, the Wildcats have eight new starters and had fought hard to earn a 2-1 start, which included a 16-8 season-opening loss to Jamesville-DeWitt.
In the first quarter, the Cougars, up 3-1, squandered that edge. Goals by Chris Murphy, Jim Cordon and John Glesener had WG in a 4-3 lead by the time the period was done.
After Eccles tied it 4-4, Cathers unleashed two goals in a span of 35 seconds, then hit again for a fourth goal three minutes later. Eccles returned for his third goal, and the Cougars took an 8-5 lead to the half.
The two sides spent most of the third quarter sparring and exchanging stops. That played to the Cougars' advantage, and when Edmund Cathers converted with 9.6 seconds left in the period, Corcoran led 11-7.
That did not last long WG scored twice in man-up situations early in the fourth quarter to cut the margin in half. Glesener made it 11-10 with 8:50 left and, when Bob Gasparini ripped in a shot from the point with 3:09 to play, the game was tied.
Despite all this, Cougars goalie Jon Boehm made a fair share of point-blank stops on his way to 16 saves. None were bigger than when he thwarted WG's Corey Herrington from putting in a possible game-winner in the final seconds of regulation – setting up the success in overtime.
One bad aspect of both opening wins, according to Smith, was the rash of turnovers the Cougars committed, something that had to be fixed long-term if it wanted to make a title run.
Corcoran played back-to-back games on the weekend and won them both, routing Nottingham 19-1 on Friday and jumping all over Union-Endicott Saturday night in a 16-10 decision.
Against the crosstown rival Bulldogs, Corcoran steadily built its one-sided margin while still giving every player on its roster a chance to take the field.
Edmund Cathers led with four goals and one assist, with Eccles and Dylan Smith each scoring three times. James Cathers had two goals and four assists as Quon Green, Dillon Brown and Brandon Britton each produced a pair of tallies.
A night later, at U-E, the start could not have possibly been better, as the Cougars jumped all over the Tigers with eight unanswered goals in the first quarter. Corcoran kept adding to the margin, making it 14-3 by the fourth quarter before the reserves came in.
Eccles, Smith and James Cathers each put up four goals, with Cathers adding three assists and Eccles two assists. Brown had four assists, joining Kevin Sexton, Logan Tousaw and Edmund Cathers in the single-goal column.

Architecture Primer: How Understanding Basic Theory Creates SuccessIn recent years, Tilt-Up professionals have begun to explore new innovations in design—so much so that this construction method, previously relegated to box-like warehouses, is now delving into the realm of architecture. But what makes a Tilt- Up project truly architectural? This is an area that is considerably gray and subject to debate, however, all recognized that architectural acceptance is key to success. As such, it is important to have a basic understanding of the tenets of architecture to be able to properly partner with architects to create a successful project.Read more

'Low self-esteem is not a medical condition – GET A JOB' Judge tells feckless teenager
A JOBLESS teen who "hasn't done a day's work since leaving school" has been blasted by a judge for splashing her benefits on drugs and booze.
Cooke blamed being out of work on 'low self esteem'
Mary Cooke appeared in the dock of Canterbury Crown Court charged with assaulting her boyfriend after an argument in the Tickled Trout pub in Ashford, Kent.
Cooke blamed being out of work on "low self esteem" but the judge hearing the case told the 19-year-old to get a job, saying: "I am not aware of any medical condition of low self-esteem."
What is wrong with your client? She is 19 and hasn't done a day's work since leaving school
The court heard how Cooke, also of Ashford, had been drinking with then boyfriend James Franklin when they had a fight just before Christmas last year, with Cooke punching him in the face and fracturing his eye socket.
Judge James O'Mahony revealed his astonishment after being told Cooke suffered from 'low self-esteem', had not worked since leaving school and spent her days taking drugs, which she paid for with benefits money.
The judge asked her lawyer: "What is wrong with your client? She is 19 and hasn't done a day's work since leaving school.
"She would appear to spend all her time taking drugs and receiving benefits because of her 'emotional wellbeing'.
"These words are banded around and promoted as a diagnosed illness.
"If you spend your time and money taking drugs then you probably wouldn't feel on top of the morning."
"If you are able to get a job, which I hope you do, then you will feel so much better and not suffer from this so-called low self-esteem."
Cooke admitted assault causing actual bodily harm and was last week jailed for nine months, suspended for two years.

Hi Dustin,
I don't know what those are either. They are a nice addition to our burgeoning collection.

gerard - very interesting - do post that flower if you see it when it comes out.
Well - most of my recent flower and leaf shots have been from my own gardens - however - I have just visited my Mum's place and she wants some prints of her flowers done - so (50 odd snaps later!!) I will be posting some of hers over the next few days.
Starting off with this - which is almost straight off the camera - shame I have to re-size but the 8mp files are a tad large sometimes. I'm not good at remembering names of flowers (sorry) i loved these tiny little things and it came out just how I wanted it to

Just one more, from my Mum's garden, to be going on with ~
Nice of the little fly to pose as well.
Great shots everyone - enjoyed them all.
This is probably the most beautiful flower that I have captured on film - a peony. Looks like raspberry ripple ice cream.
Wombat - I love raspberry ripple!
That's an excellent shot - you say it was from film - can you remember any details?? It looks nice and sharp.
This next one from my mother's garden was quite tricky to get right as it had soft subtle details and could easily have washed out with a wromg exposure. - Hopefully I got it about right..
Wombat - very, very nice shot. May have to go later for a dip of raspberry ice cream
Geoff - IMO you got the exposure right. Thanks for sharing.
Haven't put one up for a while, so here's one I shot today. As always, comment (good or bad) welcomed!

do they all have to be macros? well here are some flowers you won't find in a garden. Actually you have to walk pretty far to see these, at least a day or two.

Mike - no they don't have to all be macros. I've put a couple on here that aren't. Sometimes it's nice to take in the view. Here is another that's not a macro.

Wombat, like the others said, excellent raspberry ripple.
Geoff, that is a good one of white flowers. I always find it very difficult to get a good exposure of white, it looks like you nailed it.
D Thompson, that is a very nice backlit one.
MikeK, that is a great carpet shot.
I have two contributions for today. First, the "red candles" are starting to come out here:
Here is something that at first blush looks a bit like a thistle, but I don't think it is:
BTW, that spiderweb-like stuff is tree-fluffies. There is a tree type here that takes the be-fruitful-and-multiply bit seriously and is covering the landscape with fluffies.

Hi Wombat,
I really liked the peony shot. I can just hear Homer Simpson saying:
Mmmmmmmm, raspberry ripple aaaahhhgghhh.
Here is a flower taken from a low angle and a slightly higher angle. It's amazing how much the background can change.

What is Montessori Method?
Montessori learning is based on a deep understanding of how children learn and develop. Through making their own choices, trying things out and doing it for themselves. - Maria Montessori

Take a tour inside and out of our wonderful Montessori Learning Center.
"The teachers do a fantastic job with teaching the students academics as well as accomplishing objectives independently. We are amazed at how calm the atmosphere always is in the classroom, and how productive the students are on their own." Jon Levine
"My son is in the Elementary program at Montessori Scholars and, academically, he is studying material that is at least one or two grade-levels above the standard curriculum offered by private and public schools. The teachers have the best Montessori training and are AMI certified. Parental involvement is high, and the results are reflected in the quality of the school. They also offer many enrichment programs after school, as well as before and after care, which offers a complete solution for many families." Giovanna Serrano
"The director is deeply devoted in providing a Montessori learning environment and making sure that her teachers and aides provide quality care and challenging curriculums to the children. The moment you walk in the school and you will find the children well behaved and learning. When we pick up our children, as well as the other parents, you will find the children run up to the parents, and most often go right back to finishing their work, or hearing the story that is being read, and picking up their work stations before they leave. This is a great sign that a child is happy-when they don't want to leave. I would recommend Montessori Scholars in a heartbeat to any parent." Obdulia Gerage
"The school director was extremely accommodating to my last minute appointment request and gave me a thorough tour of the school and answered all of my questions regarding curriculum, education and philosophy. This is a world-class facility, right outside of Atlanta!" Margaret Kuberra

Google's Android smartphone platform continues to gain market share while Research In Motion's BlackBerry continues to steadily lose users, according to the latest data from comScore.
For the three-month period ending in November, Google captured 46.9 percent of the more than 91 million people in the United States who own smartphones, an increase of 3.1 percentage points from August. RIM's market share declined by the same number of points to 16.6 percent over that time period.
Apple remained second with 28.7 percent of the smartphone market, a slight increase of 1.4 points. Among all handset makers, Apple was fourth with 11.2 percent of the market; Samsung and LG were on top with 25.6 and 20.5 percent respectively.

As Congressional committees studied a $700-billion US financial bailout plan Sunday, U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson appeared on the television talk show circuit to stress the need for speed in passing the legislation.
"The credit markets are still very fragile right now and frozen," Paulson said in an interview on NBC's Meet the Press. "We need to deal with this and deal with it quickly."
"It pains me tremendously to have the American taxpayer put in this position but it is better than the alternative," Paulson said.
On ABC television's This Week with George Stephanopolous, the treasury secretary said foreign banks operating in the U.S. will also be able to unload failed mortgage assets under the bailout package.
President George W. Bush said on Saturday that the White House is ready to work with Congress to quickly enact legislation to allow his government to purchase hundreds of billions of dollars worth of bad debt linked to the collapse of the U.S. housing market.
The Bush administration spent the weekend negotiating the details of the proposal with members of Congress with the expectation that it can be passed in the coming week.
Key Democrats have said the legislation sent to them on Saturday needs changes to provide better protections for taxpayers and homeowners in danger of losing their homes.
Democrats said they understood the need for urgency but are suggesting the legislation also include changes in bankruptcy laws to allow for mortgages to be modified, and caps on pay and benefit packages for executives at the huge Wall Street firms that will be selling their bad debt to the government.
"I don't want the American taxpayer to get this bad debt and then the guy [whose company once held the bad loans] gets millions of dollars on his way out the door," said House financial services chairman Barney Frank, a Democrat Congressman from Massachusetts.

Learn what's trending across POPSUGAR. View In Slideshow The 2010 Emmy Awards are just 14 days away and we hear at Sugar HQ are rather buzzed about the whole shindig. As soon as the nominations were announced, we started thinking about our list of top contenders in each category—and now we've got the full breakdown of likely winners. First up: Supporting actor in a drama series. Aaron Paul, Breaking Bad There's no denying it: the kid brings depth and emotion to what could so easily be a stereotypical 'stoner dude' role. More importantly, he stepped it up big time in the latest season, showing a range of confliction and anguish we've never seen with the character of Jesse before. This is the second year Paul has been recognised for Breaking Bad; plus, Bryan Cranston has won the past two years, so you know the show is already a favourite among voters. Chance of winning: Moderate to high Photo courtesy of AMC 1 / 6 Michael Emerson, Lost He's coming off his Emmy win from last year. Only problem is, he's up against fellow castmate O'Quinn, who had more opportunity to shine this past season. That may hurt his chances of a repeat. That said, his final scene on Lost was heartbreaking.Chance of winning: Moderate Photo copyright 2010, ABC, Inc. 2 / 6 Andre Braugher, Men of a Certain Age Braugher's performance is good, but unfortunately, it's more like what show?!—even in the States where the show has actually aired. Until Men of a Certain Age picks up more steam, he just can't compete with the rest of the men on this list.Chance of winning: Low Photo courtesy of TNT 3 / 6 Martin Short, Damages Short's role has been a welcome departure from his sillier schtick and he may garner votes just for being a likeable Hollywood veteran. However, Damages is constantly struggling for viewers (and was most recently on the chopping block), so could that taint his chances?Chance of winning: Low to moderate Photo courtesy of FX 4 / 6 Terry O'Quinn, Lost O'Quinn turned in not one, but two very different roles in the final season. His involvement in the events leading up to the finale made him more of a crucial part of Lost than ever before.Chance of winning: High Photo copyright 2010, ABC, Inc. 5 / 6 John Slattery, Mad Men Mad Men is definitely a fan favourite and it's strong with voters, earning the most nods of any drama. Will that add up to a win for Slattery? Perhaps—his arc last season as he dealt with a crumbling Sterling Cooper and a heart attack makes for a solid argument.Chance of winning: Moderate Photo courtesy of AMC 6 / 6 Join the conversation Chat with us on Facebook Messenger.

During the Skaneateles Village Board Meeting Monday June 14, Fire Chief Eric Sell reported that the Fire Department Inc. approved a purchase of a 2010 three-man cab International Navistar that would hold 2,000 gallons of water, pump water at 12.50 gallons per minute, and be made from plastic.
"It's one of the first plastic bodies in this area, versus aluminum or steal," he said.
Sell wished to gain the approval of both the town and village before going forward with the purchase of a new engine, which would likely serve as a replacement engine. Sell said time was limited before the price of the engine would rise. To Angellilo's question over warranty, he said, "It's a lifetime warranty."
"That covers it," Angelillo said.
Sell said he would drop off literature for the board's review as per Angelillo's request.
Board resists July 4 concert in Cliff Park
Wayne Clark came to the board following up on his previous request to hold a concert from 4 to 10 p.m. July 3 at the village Gazebo to benefit Eye Bank. Clark submitted an updated proposal that moved the event to July 4 and promised "no money changing hands." According to the proposal, musicians who stated interest in taking part included Dusty Pas'cal, Loren Barrigar, Joanne Perry, "and Sarah Horner and The Sloppy Joes are also a possibility."
Members of the board resisted Clark's request for multiple reason. Green cited the hours being too late and Trustee Sue Jones questioned Clark's ability to bring in the bands he promised. She referred to uncertainty from Clark's event last year at the Gazebo over "who and what."
"If somebody cancels, it's not the end of the world," Clark said.
Marc Angelillo said the event felt disorganized, dysfunctional and poorly promoted. Clark asked for an example and Mark responded, "It's just a gut feeling I have."
After the dialog died down, Green said, "We don't have a motion on the table to approve, so I guess the answer at this point is no."
John Angyal memorial discussed
Last on the written agenda, Mayor Green addressed a request made by the Rotary Club to purchase a bench in memory of John Angyal to be placed in front of Johnny Angel's Heavenly Burgers on Jordan Street.
Green noted that the company that makes the benches put on the street by the village is no longer in business.
Green had told Dick Kokosa of the Rotary Club that the village has a history of not allowing any more benches on the street due to the cost of maintaining them. In response Kokosa had indicated that if allowed to put a bench in front of Angel's, Rotary members would keep it in a good state of repair.
Board members suggested alternative ways to memorialize John Angyal to be discussed further with the Rotary Club, such as dedicating a flagpole in his name.
Jordan Street needs fixing
"If you take a walk up Jordan Street from Riddler's to Town Hall, the sidewalk's in horrible shape," Green said, adding an item to the agenda. "Both the brick, the concrete, and the aprons to the driveways to the parking lot."
Green proposed hiring a contractor to do the work, considering the Department of Public Works will be busy this summer working on West Lake Road.
The board approved Green's motion to use money from the sidewalk and parking trust accounts as well as to contract out the concrete work.

Heroes and Villains
Buck Dharma
Okay, obviously some of these photos were taken in Manhattan, but it is interesting to see how many pictures one can take on a single theme, and within four blocks. I love New York.
Anyways, I would like to tell you about my inspiration here. In college, I had a wonderful 20th Century Art History professor, Stephen Myers, who really turned me on to some previously under-appreciated movements in modern art. While I always found De Stjl to be aesthetically pleasant, before Professor Myers' fine tutelage, I hardly grasped the sociological commentary, much less it's spiritual underpinnings:
Proponents of De Stijl sought to express a new utopian ideal of spiritual harmony and order. They advocated pure abstraction and universality by a reduction to the essentials of form and colour; they simplified visual compositions to the vertical and horizontal directions, and used only primary colors along with black and white.
According to Professor Myers, Mondrian was the first artist to request that gallery walls be painted white while exhibiting his work. The idea was that the viewer would be able to imagine the parallel and perpendicular lines of his paintings extending into infinity, creating a meditative atmosphere which preceded the works of Kandinsky, Klee, Rothko, etc.
(Side note: I was recently asked to participate in an informal personality test, in which I described my feelings of being in a white room. I said I would find it peaceful yet dull. The white room, apparently, represents death.)
While Cubism aimed to represent three dimensions simultaneously on a two-dimensional plane, De Stjl was shooting for the fourth dimension and beyond. At the same time, further east, in what was soon to become the Soviet Republic, a movement called Suprematism was evolving. Founded by Kazimir Malevich and his peers, Suprematism sought to replace the lush Russian Orthodox icons found in most households with simplified shapes such as perfect squares and circles, painted as carefully as a Tibetan sand painting, an illuminated manuscript or a rich traditional needlepoint.
While Malevich participated closely in the cultural movement surrounding the Russian Revolution, creating propaganda and populist design for everyday use, he soon found himself alienated from the new regime:
This development in artistic expression came about when Russia was in a revolutionary state, ideas were in ferment, and the old order was being swept away. As the new order became established, and Stalinism took hold from 1924 on, the state began limiting the freedom of artists. From the late 1920s the Russian avant-garde experienced direct and harsh criticism from the authorities and in 1934 the doctrine of Socialist Realism became official policy, and prohibited abstraction and divergence of artistic expression.
While Suprematism directly influenced the Bauhaus and other user-friendly schools of high design, Malevich himself did not fare so well. Persecuted by his government, yet unwilling to leave his beloved homeland, Malevich spent the rest of his days designing his own tomb. Although he may be less well-known than those he influenced (and remarkably more subtle in his execution of his ideas), his presence is certainly felt to this day. His clean design aesthetic has become a part of our everyday lives, the new icon lovingly stored in the corner of the kitchen.
I began to think of Malevich and Mondrian upon reading the following passage from Wilhelm's translation of the I Ching (Hexagram 2, The Receptive), so I will leave you with that:
Six in the second place means:
Straight, square, great.
WIthout purpose,
Yet nothing remains unfurthered.
The symbol of heaven is the circle, and that of earth is the square. Thus squareness is a primary quality of the earth. On the other hand, movement in a straight line, as well as magnitude, is a primary quality of the Creative. But all square things have their origin in a straight line and in turn from solid bodies. In mathematics, when we discriminate between lines, planes and solids, we find that rectangular planes result from straight lines, and cubic magnitudes from rectangular planes. The Receptive accommodates itself to the qualities of the Creative and makes them its own. Thus a square develops out of a straight line and a cube out of a square. this is compliance with the laws of the Creative; nothing is taken away, nothing added.

Pinkhomes came to Site Marketing Solutions in need of a website that was clean and really illustrated their quality of product. These homes were designed to appeal to a specific demographic seeking either their first home or an investment and as such, we had to marry the chromatic use of colour without appearing too garish or uninviting.
Pinkhomes were very pleased with the results and have had a great response from their clientele since the site launched in early 2015.

Hi Folks,
We have SAS and ETL processes running on the same DB/server. We see the SAS process could not update a table that supposed to be. And our ETL job writes data into FF which is loaded to DB through the Load Utility. We see this script is failing as well.
The error message we get is the SQL 6555N Load Utility Communication Error.
We have some ETL jobs that does INSERT to table. We see they run successfully.
My questions are:
1) What are the possible reasons for this issue?
2) Google says it is because of concurrent job load. We had multiple processes running at the same time. But thats how we usually do. Can we confirm by any way that the issue is because of concurrent loads? If Yes, How?
3)What is the way to recover? Now we could not do any load activity say Delete/ Load to the DB
4)Any suggestions/ workarounds/ best practices? Pls do share!

Depreciation of the expenses for independent creation of intangible assets by the Enterprise аccording to the Amendments to the Tax Code of Ukraine which entered into force on July 1, 2012
The Law of Ukraine "On Amendments to the Tax Code of Ukraine on improvement of certain tax rules" of May 24, 2012 No. 4834-VI, which entered into force on July 1, 2012, set forth part 2 of para. 144.1 of Article 144 of the Tax Code of Ukraine (hereinafter referred to as "the TC Ukraine") in the following wording:
"the subjects of depreciation are the following: <…> expenses for independent production (creation) of fixed assets, intangible assets, cultivation of long-term biological assets for use in economic activities, including expenses for wages to employees who were engaged in production (creation) of fixed and intangible assets".
Before the mentioned amendments the intangible assets had not been mentioned in this clause. In other words, proceeding from the literal reading of the provisions of Article 144 of the Tax Code, only the expenses for independent creation of fixed assets were subject to depreciation, while the expenses for independent creation of intangible assets should not have been depreciated. Provided that respective expenses were related to the business activity of the taxpayer such expenses were allowed for deduction for the profit tax purposes based on the general rules.
The above-mentioned approach is based on the formal reading of the Tax Code, and prudent taxpayers capitalized expenses for creating intangible assets in the same way as fixed assets. However, any claims to the taxpayers who have not done this, and included the costs directly to the expenses, were illegal.
At the same time, starting from July 1, 2012, the expenses for independent creation of intangible assets are subject to depreciation. Therefore, currently the tax authorities have legal grounds for raising this issue during the tax audit and for non- recognition of the expenses which, in their view, should have been capitalized within the value of intangible assets created in the result of such expenses.
It should be noted that this issue requires special attention, since in practice the taxpayer may not even suspect that intangible assets are created as a result of certain business processes. Such situation occurs quite often in respect of compilations of data (databases). Thus, the compilations of data (database) in accordance with Article 433 of the Civil Code of Ukraine are related to the objects of copyright if they under the selection or arrangement of their components are the result of intellectual activity. This is often overlooked.
If costs, which may be deemed to be related to creation of compilation of data (database), are included to the expenses, then after July 1, 2012 such approach may lead to tax risks. Namely, the tax authorities may challenge deduction of respective amounts. In practice, such amounts may prove to be quite significant.
With this in view we recommend conducting a self-examination starting from July 1, 2012 on the issue whether certain processes on the enterprise may be considered as creation of an intangible asset. If such risk is detected, the prudent approach will be capitalization of expenses for creating such asset with further depreciation and proper documenting of these processes.
The above commentary presents the general statement for information purposes only and as such may not be practically used in specific cases without professional advice.
Kind regards,

Oubre, Ellis lead No. 8 Kansas past No. 16 Baylor 74-64
AP Sports Writer
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) - Kelly Oubre scored 18 points, including a clinching 3-pointer in the final minutes, and eighth-ranked Kansas overcame a slow start to beat No. 16 Baylor 74-64 on Saturday.
Junior forward Perry Ellis also had 18 points to join the 1,000-point for his career, and Wayne Selden Jr. finished with 15 points as the Jayhawks (21-4, 10-2 Big 12) dug out of a 13-point first-half hole to remain perfect in 13 matchups with the Bears (18-7, 6-6) in Lawrence.
Kansas was clinging to a 57-55 lead after the Bears' Rico Gathers made two foul shots with about 6 minutes left. But Ellis scored a couple of baskets around a midrange jumper from Landen Lucas, who had nine points off the bench, and the Jayhawks began to pull away.
Oubre's 3 from the top of the key, his fourth of the game, made it 67-59 with 1:59 left.
The win was the Jayhawks' 21st straight at Allen Fieldhouse, and ensures the 10-time champs would have no worse than a two-game lead in the conference race with six games to go.

Bubba's back! (Reed wins.)
James Stewart returned to action at Orlando, as most people reading this are fully aware. Predictions in the pits were all over the place, but most people seemed to think he would win — barring any falls. However, fall is exactly what he did, and Chad Reed ended up with his second win in a row (and both in his adopted home state — native to both Ricky Carmichael and James Stewart).
But Stewart did serve notice that he has the speed — as if anybody was in doubt about that.
125cc Qualifiers
Josh Grant grabbed the heat-one holeshot, but he soon gave way to the charging Davi Millsaps. However, last week's runner up held strong in second for the remainder of the race, just ahead of Matt Walker, Steve Boniface, Tucker Hibbert, Brad Ripple, Kevin Johnson, Eric Sorby and Shawn Clark.
Josh Hansen grabbed the heat-two holeshot and promptly pushed Kelly Smith over the berm to solidify his lead over Chad Johnson and Troy Adams. Hansen led the entire race, with Johnson second, Adams third, and Justin Buckelew, Greg Schnell, David Ginolfi, Willy Browning, Kelly Smith and Nathan Skaggs rounding out the qualifiers.
Grant Langston led the LCQ pretty much from end to end to make it into the main event, after having his bike landed on after a fall in his heat race. Ryan Mills, Tyson Hadsell and Thomas Barron rounded out the final qualifiers, while Brian Gray came from behind to earn the Asterisk Medic Card.
250cc Qualifiers
Ernesto Fonseca got out of the gate quickest in the first 250cc heat, followed closely by Chad Reed and Kevin Windham. Within the first lap, Reed made his way by for the lead and took off. Windham made his way around Fonseca as well, and the top three were set. The battle for the final transfer spot came down between Tyler Evans, Timmy Ferry and Sebastien Tortelli. Tortelli held the spot for much of the race, but Evans made a pass stick on him late in the heat before Tortelli fell down with only one lap to go. Ferry finished one spot out of a transfer in fifth.
Ricky Carmichael got the holeshot to start heat two with James Stewart right on his tail. Before the end of the first lap, Stewart made his way by Carmichael for the lead and was never headed. Carmichael hung on for second, followed by Team Honda teammates Travis Preston and Andrew Short.
A pair of French riders in Tortelli and David Vuillemin did the winning in the two semis. Damon Huffman, Cole Siebler, Damien Plotts and Kyle Lewis rounded out Tortelli's semi number one qualifiers, while Sean Hamblin (who actually led a portion of the second semi after passing Jason Thomas for the lead early on) followed Vuillemin home in the second semi. Mike LaRocco, Thomas and Joe Oehlhof rounded out the qualifiers in semi two.
Timmy Ferry led Jay Marmont home to win the LCQ in an all-factory affair.
125cc Main
Starting from the far outside, Langston nearly stole another holeshot, just as he did a few weeks ago in St. Louis. Instead, Hansen dove underneath him heading into the corner and nearly punted Langston off the track, too. Langston hung on in second, followed closely by Josh Grant and Millsaps. Millsaps quickly worked his way into second, behind Hansen, and by the end of the second lap, Millsaps made his way by through the whoops and took off. Langston followed Millsaps around Hansen a couple of laps later and set out after Millsaps.
For most of the last 11 laps, Langston stayed within three seconds (and often within a half a second) of Millsaps, despite Langston's bike being stuck in second gear much of the time. However, he came up short and Millsaps scored his second win of the season. Langston finished second, with Hansen third, Langston's teammate Walker fourth and Boniface fifth.
With two rounds to go, Langston and Hansen are tied for the points lead and Millsaps sits 7 points back in third.
250cc Main/p>
Kyle Lewis scored the main-event holeshot, and although Stewart was stuck way back in the pack heading into the first turn, he putted around the inside of the corner while everyone else swept wide and came out of the turn second. Stewart had the lead before the end of the ensuing straightaway. He was followed by Carmichael, Reed and Windham early.
As Stewart began to pull away slightly, Carmichael fell on lap four, right in front of Reed and handed Reed second and Windham third. It took Carmichael three more laps to catch back up to and pass Windham, and just after he did, Stewart went down wildly in the whoops, handing the lead to Reed and second place to Carmichael. Stewart remounted third.
Stewart immediately began catching Carmichael, but then, as Stewart lapped Siebler, Siebler went offline and crashed in front of Stewart, forcing the Kawasaki pilot to single the first jump of a triple, and Carmichael was gone. Reed was gone as well, and he ended up winning the race by four seconds over Carmichael, who had another 16 seconds on Stewart. Windham followed Stewart home a further 17 seconds back in fourth, and Vuillemin rounded out the top five.

Did Osama bin Laden die in December 2001?
May 07, 2011
Here is a well researched article dealing with the question of the actual date of Osama bin Laden's death. Did bin Laden die in December of 2001 of kidney failure? Did the US govt need to keep him alive in order to justify its invasion of Afghannistan? This includes testimony from one US govt official who had actually worked with bin Laden in the 70s and early 80's--back when bin Laden was working with the CIA under the name of Tim Osman.

(Reuters) - Dutch brewer Heineken (HEIN.AS) and an investment partner are in advanced takeover talks with Punch Taverns PUB.L, Punch said on Wednesday, but face competition from a higher rival bid from one of the British pub company's founders.
Shares in Punch, Britain's second-biggest pub operator, jumped as much as 39 percent on Wednesday after it said it had received a "proposal" from Patron Capital Advisers, working with Heineken, about a possible cash offer of 174 pence per share, and "an approach" from Emerald Investment Partners about a possible cash offer at 185 pence per share.
Punch said it was in "advanced discussions" with Patron and Heineken and in "discussions" with Emerald. Officials for Patron and Heineken declined to comment.
Emerald confirmed that it had made a proposal about a possible 185 pence per share offer and said it currently held 2.2 percent of Punch's shares.
Emerald's founder, Alan McIntosh, is the former Punch finance director who helped to build up the company through a series of acquisitions alongside entrepreneur Hugh Osmond.
Heineken's offer values Punch's equity at about 386 million pounds while Emerald's offer would equate to a 410 million pound valuation, according to Reuters calculations.
Punch said that both proposals were conditional on the recommendation of its board, among other things, but that Emerald's also depended on it arranging committed financing and doing due diligence.
The bidders have until Jan. 11 to make a firm offer or walk away, according to UK takeover rules, Punch said.
Established in 1997 with a portfolio of pubs from the Bass Lease Co, Punch expanded through the purchase of Inn Business Group and real estate from Allied Domecq. It listed on the London Stock Exchange in 2002 and now has about 3,300 pubs.
Punch said Heineken would acquire about 1,900 of its pubs from Patron immediately after a takeover, with Patron keeping more than 1,300 sites.
That would give Heineken a total of about 3,000 UK pubs, moving closer to market leader Enterprise Inns ETI.L, which has nearly 4,500 sites.
The UK pub industry has struggled for years with declining customers, due partly to a UK smoking ban and increased competition from restaurants and supermarkets. There were 50,800 pubs in Britain last year, the British Beer and Pub Association says, down from 67,800 in 1982.
Punch and its large rivals, which also include Greene King (GNK.L) and Mitchells & Butlers (MAB.L), have also been working to broaden their food and drink offering to appeal to Britons' evolving tastes.
But Punch recently scaled back its portfolio with disposals that delivered net proceeds of 234 million pounds in the year to Aug. 20 and performance has improved.
Pub operators are also adjusting to new regulations that give pub tenants more rights and greater protection when dealing with large companies that own so-called tied pubs.
Tenants of tied pubs, which account for most of Punch's portfolio, are obliged to buy beer and other drinks from their landlords. This means that Britain has a long history of brewers operating pubs but the large multinational brewers are generally not in the pub business.
Heineken is unusual in that it has an existing portfolio of about 1,100 pubs, most bought from Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS.L) in 2011. A Punch acquisition would triple the number of Heineken pubs selling the Dutch group's beers, including Amstel, Sol and Lagunitas alongside Strongbow cider and its green-bottled Heineken lager.
In a presentation last month, Heineken's president of Europe lauded its pub business for providing direct contact with consumers, allowing the company to test and build new products quickly while giving it an understanding of how customers and pubs work.
"You actually get a direct, a very direct and a very different contact with your consumer," Stefan Orlowsky said, adding that the pub business is very attractive from a margin perspective.
Jefferies said that Heineken's approach could be viewed as a defensive move aimed at protecting margins in Britain, which accounts for about 6 percent of group profit.
Other consumer goods companies have taken similar steps into the retail sphere, with Nestle (NESN.S) running Nespresso coffee boutiques, Estee Lauder (EL.N) operating MAC cosmetic stores and Diageo (DGE.L) testing Johnnie Walker Houses.
Patron Capital, with 3.4 billion euros (£2.8 billion) of capital across several funds and investments, focuses largely on real estate.
Punch shares were up 38 percent at 178 pence by the close, while Heineken shares closed flat.
Punch is being advised by Goldman Sachs (GS.N).
News of the bid approaches was first reported by Sky News.
