Each week, Baltimore Sun reporters Aaron Wilson and Matt Vensel look back at the Ravens' previous game and that of their next opponent.
Bears 23, Ravens 20, OT
STRATEGY: Embracing a smash-mouth approach due to extremely sloppy field conditions, the Ravens revitalized their running game to exploit a shoddy run defense. Ray Rice ran decisively behind an offensive line that delivered second-level blocks to wall off linebackers. The passing game avoided deep shots, given the severe weather at Soldier Field. Using the shotgun formation 57 of 75 plays as the offense gained 317 yards, the no-huddle was employed 25 times. Defensive coordinator Dean Pees didn't blitz much, employing few overloads after succeeding with that gambit a week ago. The nickel package got plenty of work against a large, talented group of receivers headlined by Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery.
PERSONNEL: Vonta Leach got more involved than usual with 18 snaps. Ed Dickson (54 snaps) got the majority of the playing time at tight end over Dallas Clark (23 snaps) . With just four active receivers, Torrey Smith played 96 percent of the snaps. The rest went to Tandon Doss (60 snaps), Jacoby Jones (37 snaps) and Deonte Thompson (34 snaps). The defensive iron men were cornerback Lardarius Webb and middle linebacker Daryl Smith as strong safety James Ihedigbo and cornerback Jimmy Smith missed just one snap apiece. It was a quiet game for outside linebackers Terrell Suggs (53 snaps) and Elvis Dumervil (26 snaps), combining for just one tackle and no sacks as Dumervil was flagged for a late hit for his only statistic registered. Suggs' rush angles were cut off quickly and Dumervil disappeared. With Haloti Ngata out with a left knee injury, nose tackle Terrence Cody held up in his first start of the season.
WHAT WENT RIGHT: Rice displayed explosiveness, tackle-breaking ability and improved vision, reacting fast to holes to gain a season-high 131 yards. A.Q. Shipley double-teamed Stephen Paea and then delivered a second block downfield to kick out linebacker Jon Bostic. Leach crushed Tim Jennings on Rice's lone touchdown run. Smith caught a touchdown on a quick slant, proving he could be a greater red-zone threat if used more frequently. Justin Tucker is clutch in all weather, hitting field goals from 52 and 21 yards, with his second kick tying the game late in regulation. Chris Canty was the most active defensive lineman, shedding blocks with sound leverage. Jimmy Smith impressively shadowed Marshall, employing physical coverage techniques.
WHAT WENT WRONG: Julius Peppers steamrolled Eugene Monroe, overwhelming him with powerful bull-rushes to rack up 11 tackles and two sacks. Monroe was beaten on a speed rush by Cheta Ozougwu, causing a fumble by Joe Flacco. Flacco forced an interception into heavy traffic intended for Clark. Rice failed to cut-block David Bass, leading to another interception, returned by Bass for a touchdown. Flacco remains erratic, with five interceptions in the past three games, and he was sacked 13 times in that span. His longest completion was 17 yards. Daryl Smith, Corey Graham and Canty missed tackles on a key touchdown by Matt Forte in the fourth quarter. Gino Gradkowski's flubbed shotgun snap in the mud disrupted a potential game-winning pass to Torrey Smith. Doss' hands were an issue on two important drives.
TURNING POINT: Beating a blitz by Matt Elam, Josh McCown identified the matchup he wanted in overtime: 6-foot-6, 265-pound tight end Martellus Bennett against 5-10, 182-pound Webb. His well-timed 43-yard lob left Webb unable to prevent Bennett from elevating to set up the game-winning field goal.
X-FACTOR: Rediscovering their running game, the Ravens now face a much sterner test against the New York Jets' formidable defensive line, led by Muhammad Wilkerson. They have the top-ranked run defense, allowing only 73.2 rushing yards per game.

More and better rice, just sms
Extension services via short text messages and the internet are changing the livelihoods of rural rice farmers in the Pampanga community in the Philippines.
Video impressions
See some video impressions of the 3rd GFRAS Annual Meeting
Extension services in a changing climate
Climate change is projected to affect global agriculture on which millions of small holder farmers especially in developing countries, depend on their livelihoods, yet the sector features less prominently on the global agenda to find solutions.
Extension service policies needed to consolidate food security in Africa
Effective extension advisory services policies can harmonize the agriculture sector and spur the productivity of small scale farmers who form the major growers of food in Africa, delegates to the 2012 GFRAS annual meeting in Manila, Philippines heard.
So long.. we will meet again
"The trouble with hello is goodbye", Brazilian samba and bossa nova singer Astrud Gilberto once said.
For delegates who attended the 3rd GFRAS meeting, co-hosted with Asia-Pacific Islands Advisory Services Network (APIRAS) from 26-26 Sept. 2012, it was not a sad farewell but a celebration of effective networking and a confirmation that those who have met before shall meet again.

Excite@Home Buys Blue Mountain Arts for $780 Million
Page 1 of 1
With visions of holiday marketing and broadband promotion, Excite@Home Monday inked a deal to buy e-greeting card maker Blue Mountain Arts for $780 million in cash and stock.
Excite@Home will issue approximately 11 million shares worth $430 million and pay the remaining $350 million in cash. The deal is expected to close by year's end.
The company expects the purchase to extend its audience reach by about 34 percent and will use the opportunity to inject new e-commerce service and promotions with each card sent. Excite@Home is also developing a means of marketing its broadband service through the Bluemountain.com acquisition.
If Bluemountain.com meets certain traffic and performance targets over the holidays, the company could see another $270 million from Excite@Home (ATHM).
Bell also said that the site's user loyalty and wide range of services appealed to the broadband leader. Bluemountain.com's offerings will also be incorporated into several sections of the Excite portal.
The card site currently boasts 9 million unique users every month.
Excite@Home said the deal gives it an opportunity to increase cross-promotion and sales of Excite products as well as @Home's cable modem service.
Excite@Home Monday also announced separate marketing and distribution deals with Proflowers.com, Dan's Chocolates and Lucidity Inc., in which the companies will pay a combined $34 million over three years. The goal of the alliances is to get customers to also purchase goods when they send e-greeting cards.

Research efforts in the $14.8 million, five-year-long undertaking will be led by Chinese principal investigator Yiming Shao, M.D. Five interrelated projects, touching on a range of HIV-related questions, will be funded:
- epidemiologic and transmission factors in HIV/AIDS
- behavioral interventions to prevent HIV transmission
- pathogenesis of the virus
- safety and efficacy of anti-HIV drugs
- HIV/AIDS vaccine development
The epidemiologic and behavioral intervention program will take place in the Yunnan and Shanxi provinces. Clinical and laboratory studies will be performed in collaboration with several institutions, including the Academy of Medical Sciences and the Institute of Virology in Beijing, the Medical Primate Center of China, and at Nankai University in Tianjin. The Chinese team has also engaged consultants on HIV/AIDS from the United States who will collaborate on the design and implementation of the research.
CIPRA provides long-term support for HIV/AIDS research to resource-limited countries in Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, and Central and South America where up to 90 percent of new HIV infections occur. To control the global pandemic, inexpensive, effective, and logistically simple measures of HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention are urgently needed. In many countries with high rates of HIV/AIDS, the baseline clinical data and research infrastructure needed to accurately characterize the epidemic are lacking. CIPRA tackles this problem by providing long-term support, including training, tailored to the specific needs of the recipient country. It is hoped that the research conducted under the auspices of CIPRA will form the foundation for successful clinical trials of candidate treatments and vaccines for HIV/AIDS.
CIPRA provides three levels of support designed to match applicants' varying research capabilities: two-year grants for planning and organization of studies; grants for exploratory and developmental research; and multi-project research grants. The initial five CIPRA planning and organization grants, awarded in 2001, went to investigators in Peru, China, the Russian Federation, Trinidad and Zambia. More information about CIPRA is available at http://www.
NIAID is a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

If Battlezone and, say, Risk had a baby, it'd look a lot like Glitch Tank. Michael Brough's aggressively retro game turns your iPad into an 8-bit theater of sci-fi warfare.
Whether it's you vs. another human or fighting against an AI opponent, the basic mechanics are the same. Each player gets doled out three cards that let you perform specific actions, like moving or turning, shooting a laser or creating a drone tank. The screen gets more chaotic the deeper you get into the game, with clone tanks, mines and error code making for tripped-out visuals.
There's a unique sort of strategy that crops up while playing Glitch Tank. Sometimes, you'll just blow through movement cards just to wait for an attack option. But doing that can put you in a strategically compromised position. On the other hand, getting an action card that lets you go on the offensive can be frustrating because you'll need to decide whether to hold onto it while you try to get into a location where you can use it.
Glitch Tank also sports chiptune sound design that will ignite the nostalgia engines of anyone who grew up on the Atari 2600. But it operates on the kind of clever, up-to-date blueprint that really shows how far games have come since the wood-grained box launched a revolution across the world.

Specialist emergency care doctors should be paid more to work in struggling hospitals, MPs have suggested.
A Public Accounts Committee report said the improvement of A&E services has been "hampered" by the lack of emergency consultants.
They criticised both the Department of Health and NHS England for not having a "clear strategy for tackling the chronic shortage of A&E consultants".
The committee's latest report on emergency care suggests that doctors could be enticed to work at struggling hospitals if they were paid more.
"Many hospitals, especially those facing the greatest challenges, struggle to fill vacant posts for A&E consultants," the report states.
"There is too great a reliance on temporary staff to fill gaps, which is expensive and does not offer the same quality of service."
It adds: "We are not convinced that the department has a clear vision on how to address either the immediate or longer term shortage of A&E consultants."
They said that emergency admissions to hospitals have increased by 47 per cent in the last 15 years. But it is not clear who is actually accountable for the delivery of local A&E services, they said.
The MPs welcomed the plans to provide 24/7 consultant cover in hospitals but said they were "concerned" about the "slow" pace of implementation.
The department also drew criticism for the cash it injected into the system last winter, after the committee said that it was "not convinced" the money was used to best effect.
PAC chairwoman Margaret Hodge said: "Any attempt to improve emergency admissions services in the NHS is being completely stymied by the chronic shortage of specialist A&E consultants.
"Nearly one-fifth of consultant posts in emergency departments were either vacant or filled by locums in 2012. There are also major problems in training enough doctors in emergency medicine.
"What we found amazing is that neither the Department nor NHS England has a clear strategy to tackle the shortage of A&E consultants.
"With many hospitals struggling to fill vacant posts for A&E consultants, there is too much reliance on temporary staff to fill gaps. This is expensive and just does not offer the same quality of service.
"Struggling hospitals, such as those placed in special measures, find it even harder to attract and retain consultants. There are currently no incentive payments to make working in these hospitals a more attractive prospect.
"So, we raised with the department the possibility of paying consultants more to work at struggling hospitals."
She added: "Emergency admissions to hospitals have increased by 47 per cent over the last 15 years at a time when budgets are under pressure. Bed occupancy rates across hospitals continue to rise year-on-year and the ambulance service is also under stress.
"Both the Department of Health and NHS England struggled to explain to us who is ultimately accountable for the efficient delivery of local A&E services, and for intervening when there are problems.
"Without clear accountability and responsibility it is much more difficult to achieve the changes needed to improve the situation."
Paul Flynn, chair of the British Medical Association consultants committee, said: "Consultants working in emergency medicine face increasingly challenging, high-pressured and stressful work environments, often with limited resources and gruelling workloads.
"This has contributed to a recruitment and retention crisis, meaning existing doctors are left working flat-out to meet rising demand, exacerbating the problem.
"Consultants already work around the clock to provide emergency care for patients but, as the report makes clear, there simply aren't enough to meet rising demand.
"The government needs to urgently address issues such as workload pressures, resourcing and work-life balance if the NHS is to attract doctors in training and the consultant numbers that are needed, not least because spending large amounts on locum doctors is not financially sustainable in the long run."
Health minister Dan Poulter said: "Warnings about problems in recruiting and retaining A&E doctors date back to 2004 - and when this government came to office six years later, Labour had left no plan in place to deal with them.
"By contrast, working with the College of Emergency Medicine we have a clear strategy to tackle the shortage, and have 414 more A&E consultants than there were in 2009, as well as filling all training places for doctors choosing to specialise in A&E.
"It takes six years to train an A&E consultant, and there is no easy fix - but our long-term plans are robust, increasing the number of training places by 75 next year, and planning for all trainee doctors to spend time in A&E.

Additional design features
Spring connections
There are different ways to connect the stainless steel garter springs of HS and HSF seals. A threaded spring connection (fig 1) is used for all HSF seals unless otherwise specified and for the solid HS4 and HS5 seals as well as the split HS6 and HS8 seals for shaft diameters ≤ 455 mm (18 in.). A hook-and-eye spring connection (fig 2) is used for HS6 and HS8 seals for shaft diameters > 455 mm (18 in.). All HS7 seals feature the special control-wire connection (fig 3), available only for these seals.
Spacer lugs
Spacer lugs are available for all metal-cased designs to separate seals in tandem or back-to-back arrangements to provide space for sealing lip lubrication (fig 4).
Traditional fixed-width lugs for metal-cased HDS seals are 9,5 mm (0.375 in.) in diameter and are available in widths from 3,2 mm (0.125 in.) to 12,7 mm (0.5 in.) in increments of 1,6 mm (0.063 in.). The fixed-width lug is an available option for all metal-cased seals.
All standard adjustable lugs are 9,5 mm (0.375 in.) in diameter and 9,5 mm (0.375 in.) in width. They can be adjusted to smaller widths in 1,6 mm (0.063 in.) increments by removing the steel washers. The lugs may also be removed entirely. Longer, adjustable lugs, with a width of 12,7 mm (0.5 in.), are available on request, however, it can be more difficult to reduce their width.
Certain small seal cross sections may require special small diameter lugs, 5,3 mm (0.210 in.), with a width range of 1,6 to 3,2 mm (0.063 to 0.125 in.).
The lugs are placed around the heel of the seal in four, six or eight equally spaced locations, depending on the seal outside diameter (table).
Fixed-width lugs are available for HDL seals on request.
SKF Springlock
The SKF Springlock is a sealing lip feature that surrounds 270° of the garter spring diameter (fig 5). It helps hold the spring in position during installation and is standard on all HS seals and spring-loaded, metal-cased HDS seals.
SKF Springcover
For blind installations, where spring displacement may go undetected, the SKF Springcover can be specified (fig 6). It also protects the spring from dirt, water and other contaminants. SKF Springcover is flexible and covers the exposed portion of the stainless steel garter spring without adversely affecting the spring's capability.
SKF Bore Tite Coating
SKF Bore Tite Coating is a water-based acrylic sealant available on most SKF metal-cased seals. The sealant is used as a coating on the outside diameter of the seal (fig 7). SKF Bore Tite Coating is pliable with a thickness of 0,03 to 0,07 mm (0.0012 to 0.0028 in.) to help accommodate small imperfections in the housing bore surface. It can be used at temperatures up to 200 °C (390 °F) and is compatible with most oils, greases, aqueous acids and alkalis, alcohols and glycols. Note that SKF Bore Tite Coating is not compatible with aromatics, ketones or esters. Contact with these substances will, however, have little or no effect if wiped off quickly.

Done in the style of the Bay Area Figurative painters of that time and contemporaries would include, Elmer Bischoff, James Weeks and Richard Diebenkorn. Opper Bio Jerry Opper was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on September 5, 1924. He moved to Los Angeles in 1933. After graduating from Hollywood High School, he worked in movie studios and attended art classes at Chouinard Art Institute. In May 1942, Opper was drafted into the army and was then able to study at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center while his outfit was stationed in Colorado. Later he was sent to Guam and was discharged in December 1945. Opper returned to Chouinard and his work in movie studios until 1947, when he moved to San Francisco. He enrolled as a full-time student at the California School of Fine Arts (now SFAI) and graduated in 1950. In 1948, Opper met his wife Gertrud Ruth Friedmann, daughter of artist Gustav Friedmann whose works are well known. Shortly after he finished school, Opper worked briefly as a decorator's assistant and then started his career as a commercial artist, working for several firms such as Fibreboard, Beatrix Food and Precision. One of his preferred mediums was stone lithography, although at times he had to put this aside because of the hard labor associated with the weight of the stones. He eventually needed several back surgeries during his lifetime because of this. Opper's prints have been included in several major shows throughout the country: Oakland Art Gallery, Sacramento State Fair, San Francisco Museum of Art, International Color Lithography Exhibition at Cincinnati, Ohio, Pennell Print Show at the Library of Congress, Washington D.C., Brooklyn Museum Print Show, Los Angeles County Fair, Pomona, City of Paris Rotunda Gallery, San Francisco. Around 1950, Opper had a one-man show at the Lucien Labaudt Gallery in San Francisco and at the Montalvo Estate in Saratoga, California. At the California State Fair in Sacramento, Opper won the second prize for prints for his lithograph "Aquarium" and this print became part of the Fair's permanent collection. The print Opper exhibited at the Brooklyn Print Show was chosen for the traveling exhibit, which was circulated to ten major cities by the American Federation of Arts. The two prints he showed at the San Francisco Museum were also chosen for circulation and were shown to various schools in California. In 1951, an untitled abstract oil by Opper was included in the Seventeen Annual Exhibition of the San Francisco Art Association (held at the San Francisco Museum of Art).

I made this amazingly fresh and satisfying salad for a friend's birthday and I was unbelievably surprised how well the flavors of cheese, bacon, brussel sprouts, and the sweet and tart dressing balance each other out and are flat out delicious! My husband and I love brussel sprouts, but cooking them whole or halved can get boring and I was looking for a new way to eat these. A raw preparation was definitely not at the top of my mind since I've become so used to cooking them in my cast iron pan like my recipe of 'Roasted Brussel Sprouts'. However, I found so many burrata and brussel sprout salad recipes online and realized that for my taste, something major was missing – that was bacon!! Bacon makes everything better, yes. However, this salad REALLY is complete with the added salty-crispiness added by the cooked bacon.
Share this salad with your loved ones – if you are vegetarian, you can substitute the bacon for crispy tortilla chips (which you can buy from the supermarket as ready-to-go salad topper strips), or you can also add toasted sliced almonds for that extra crunch!
10-15 slices of bacon
1 red onion, finely sliced
5 tablespoons good quality extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus extra for drizzling
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 pound Brussels sprouts
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese shavings
2 tablespoons lemon juice, plus extra to taste
1 teaspoon honey
Kosher salt, to taste
freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
2 balls burrata cheese (or good buffalo mozzarella), room temperature
Heat a sauté pan over medium-high heat and add one tablespoon of olive oil. Add onions and cook until browned and beautifully caramelized (about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally).. Remove from pan and set aside in a bowl. Add balsamic vinegar and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to soak in the flavor.
In a separate pan, cook bacon until crispy (but not burnt). Set aside for later once cooked.
Meanwhile, wash the brussel sprouts and remove outer leaves. Trim off the bottom nubs with a knife and cut each brussel sprout in half. Using either a mandoline (careful not to cut your hand!) or with a sharp knife, cut the sprouts into paper thin strips. trim nubs and halve sprouts. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, cut sprouts paper-thin. (An awesome shortcut is to use the slicing insert on a food processor to skip this step and save yourself a lot of time!).
Transfer shaved leaves to a mixing bowl. Add onions and mix until evenly combined.
In small bowl, whisk together the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of honey and salt and pepper, to taste. Taste the dressing and adjust honey/lemon juice/salt/pepper as needed to reach the balance you want. It's ok if it's a little salty and tart as it will even out when tossed with the sprouts.
Toss slaw with enough vinaigrette to moisten. Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt, pepper and lemon juice as needed. Let sit at least 10 minutes so sprouts can absorb the flavors.
Put the marinated slaw in your serving bowl. Place burrata balls on the side in the serving bowl (so that your guests can take as much (or little) cheese as they want), and season the cheese lightly with salt and pepper and the last tablespoon of olive oil. Add in cooked, crispy bacon on top of the slaw.

Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel (It'll always be Bronze Universal to me, I think the other name sounds so clunky in a english accent) is one of my all time favorite products. Its a orangey, deep brown warm toned cream bronzer, with no noticiable shimmer or glitter. It suits me all year round, including me at my palest in winter or bronzed in the summer. It gives a natural glow without being shimmery which is perfect for day time or night.
Its great for colour correcting foundation, for example if your foundation is too light, blend over a bit of this to give more colour without having to chuck a mismatched foundation away. Its also just a great everyday bronzer or contour shade because its not glittery or unnatural. The matte/satin finish leaves the skin looking fresh and not looking too heavily caked. I think because its a cream product its incredibly easy to blend into the skin. I normally use a Sigma F25 to apply, but I've used a MAC 109 and a Coastal Scents Kabuki on a stick in the past, I think anything rounded and dense seems to work nicely.
I think it is expensive for a makeup product, I know this before people go down and type how ridiculously expensive it is in the comments. Even I think its on the pricey side, But I bought my my first tub in Duty Free when on holiday in Turkey in June 2010 and Im still using the same pot (obviously until I bought this new one). Its lasted a good year of on-off daily use (Id say I use it 3-4 times a week on average if not more and its still got alot of product left. You get 30g of product for the price too which is incredible as most bronzers are around 9g.
I've included a photo of me wearing it, but I think it looks no different photographed in use as it does my other bronzers. Might explain my opinions on swatches in another post this week. Generally I think they are wholly inaccurate as some things can look incredibly different on different skin-tones.

First of all it is important to differentiate between the 'support level' and the 'feature completeness' of a certain device. The former indicates the level of user support you can expect, while the latter indicates the how much of a device's functionality is implemented by FFADO.
The 'support level' is indicated in the device database, while the 'feature completeness' currently is not reported. This is due to the fact that the FFADO framework itself is not complete yet, meaning that we can't really make the difference between device support limitations and framework limitations. Once the framework is sufficiently complete we can start with a 'supported feature matrix'. Until that time it can be assumed that the announced functionality of the framework is present for all devices having the 'supported' status.
Support levels
Note: The only recommended devices are those with a 'Full Support' status.
Full Support
This is the highest support level available. In order for a device to get this status two things are required:
- At least one FFADO developer that has a device.
- We have the necessary information to implement and debug
FFADO is tested on this platform and we are confident that the device will work fine. If not, we have a good shot at fixing the problem since we have decent information and a device to reproduce the problem with. Note that this does not necessarily mean that all features of the device work with FFADO. Be sure to check the specific device page for more information.
Community SupportThis means that at least one FFADO developer that has access to a device, but not through the vendor. FFADO is tested on this platform and we are confident that the device will work fine. But we might lack the information to solve any issues that arise as the vendor is not cooperative.
Reported to workOne or more users reported the device as working, but there is no FFADO developer that has direct access to it. This means that problems are not that easily solved because we can't reproduce them ourselves.
ExperimentalThe device is confirmed to be based upon a platform supported by FFADO, and therefore might work with a generic platform support in FFADO. It might also be that it is being worked on for a newer version of FFADO. This kind of device will probably work sooner or later, but there are no guarantees whatsoever.
PlannedThe device will probably not work, but support for it is planned. This means that we are establishing contacts with the vendors and that these seem to turn out well, but nothing is rolling.
UnknownWe have insufficient information to say whether a device will work or not.
UnsupportedWe have enough information to say that a device will not work.
If a device is listed as 'unsupported' or 'unknown' this doesn't mean that we can't or won't support it. It simply means that we don't have the things we need to support it.
Please don't hesitate to contact any vendor to ask whether their devices are supported on Linux. This might raise the vendor's awareness of Linux as a viable audio platform. Even for the devices that are marked as supported contacting the vendors makes sense.

For business that never skips a beat
Information availability isn't just an operational must-have, but a competitive edge. Whether your systems are down from a devastating natural disaster or a mundane hardware failure, you can't afford the business disruption or the loss of customer trust and your good reputation that can follow an outage.
But the reality is that the majority of organizations that orchestrate their own disaster recovery programs run into trouble and fail to meet their recovery objectives. That's because disaster recovery often takes a back seat to day-to-day administrative tasks or growth initiatives. Hybrid IT environments also create multiple potential points of failure. And, plans, policies and procedures often fail to keep pace with changes to the production environment. Further, when critical data isn't refreshed and ready for restoration, business can grind to a halt.
That's why Sungard AS supports a comprehensive lifecycle approach to systems and data recovery services, designed to protect your business from the scale and scope of any interruption.
Safeguard your data. Every successful recovery starts with a good copy of your production data. We move your data to our recovery center, where it is kept secure, refreshed according to criticality, and ready for restoration.
Recover quickly. If disaster strikes, we connect your data to your back-up infrastructure and recover your network and applications.
Manage your options. We tailor your lifecycle approach to recovery by determining which processes can be maintained in-house and which you prefer us to manage on your behalf – up to full accountability.
Why Sungard AS?
Why Sungard AS?
Sungard AS has an unmatched record of disaster recovery: For over three decades, we have recovered thousands of outages swiftly, efficiently and cost-effectively. We're recognized as a leader in Gartner's Disaster Recovery as a Service Magic Quadrant, and IDC's Disaster Recovery as a Service MarketScape. We offer the industry's broadest portfolio of availability services, with all the elements you need to remain resilient in the face of any disaster or disruption

Research and general acceptance
The kidney diet, also known as the renal diet, is a set of guidelines for people with kidney disease. The types of foods prescribed depend on the level of kidney failure the patient is experiencing, but generally the diet involves controlling the amount of sodium, potassium, phosphorus, protein, and fluid that a person ingests. People with kidney disease should be in consultation with a renal dietitian.
The kidney diet has been developed and refined by the medical science community, including doctors and hospitals, who have worked with patients with kidney disease. It is based upon scientific research done by many professionals in many different settings, including laboratories, clinics, and hospitals. This research in combination with other available information has been used to develop a set of guidelines to allow patients with kidney failure to eat and drink in a way that helps to manage their disease most effectively.
There is no single kidney diet. The kidney diet is a set of guidelines for patients experiencing some level of kidney failure. Because every kidney patient is unique, each kidney diet may be slightly different. People who have been diagnosed with kidney failure should see a renal dietician to determine the exact specifications of the kidney diet they should follow. Whether a person is experiencing early or late stages of kidney failure, whether they are receiving dialysis treatment and which type, as well as regular nutritional factors such as height, age, and weight will play a role in determining what sort of diet should be followed. In any case, renal patients must be very careful and take their diet seriously. Careful adherence to a kidney diet can lessen the symptoms of kidney failure and prolong the usefulness of the kidneys.
Sodium is a mineral found in many foods and is important to many different bodily functions. One of the most important functions of sodium involves maintaining fluid levels. If too much sodium builds up in the body it causes thirst and fluid buildup. Normally functioning kidneys help to maintain proper levels of sodium in the body. If the kidneys begin to fail however, it becomes more important to maintain appropriate levels of sodium intake.
The easiest way to avoid excess sodium intake is to eliminate putting extra salt on foods. People frequently add salt during cooking and at the table. Even just topping these behaviors will usually cut back significantly on the amount of sodium ingested. It is also important to avoid particularly salty foods such as theater popcorn, potato chips, salted pretzels, bacon and other cured meats, and processed cheese. Checking the ingredients list of processed, frozen, and canned foods is a good way to see how much sodium the product contains. Canned soups are often surprisingly high in salt, but often times there are low-sodium alternatives available.
Because salt contributes so much to the flavor of foods, it may be helpful to find replacements for it. Using lemon juice or herb mixtures can add flavor without adding sodium, however mixtures such as garlic salt should not be used because they still have contain a high level of sodium. Artificial salt substitutes should also be avoided because these usually contain high levels of potassium, another mineral that people following a kidney diet need to monitor.
Potassium is a mineral found in varying amounts in almost all foods, including fruits, vegetables, meat, and dairy products. The body uses potassium for a variety of important functions such as maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance, sending nerve impulse to muscles, and aiding in metabolic processes. When a person's kidneys are functioning normally they filter out excess potassium, helping to maintain the proper amount in the body. Without properly functioning kidneys, patients need to control their potassium intake.
Avoiding foods with high levels of potassium, while maintaining a healthy diet, can be quite difficult because many fruits and vegetables are high in potassium. Oranges, broccoli, tomatoes, potatoes, and carrots are all high in potassium. Apples, blueberries, grapes, strawberries, lettuce, and onions are all relatively low in potassium. Canned vegetables and the juices they are usually canned are particularly high in potassium. For patients with kidney problems who want to eat certain high potassium vegetables, there is one method for removing some of the potassium, called leaching. This process varies depending on the vegetable, but generally it involves repeatedly rinsing and boiling the vegetable in a large amount of water.
Phosphorus is another mineral found in many foods. The body must maintain a proper balance of phosphorus and calcium in order to build and preserve healthy bones. Normally, the kidneys help to maintain this balance by removing excess phosphorus from the bloodstream. However, patients with kidney disease may need to take steps to maintain this balance by watching what they eat, because their kidneys are no longer able to do this important job. If too much phosphorus builds up in the body it can pull calcium out of the bones, making them weak and easily breakable.
People following a kidney diet may be told to avoid foods that are high in phosphorus, such as beer, soda, cheese, milk, yogurt, oysters, beans, peas, nuts, and many whole grain products. A renal dietician may also prescribe a phosphate binder, which can help control the amount of phosphate that the body absorbs.
Proteins are complex organic molecules made of amino acid chains. The body uses these chains to build and maintain muscles, organs, and glands. When the body breaks down protein it produces a waste product called urea. This waste product is usually filtered out by the kidneys and expelled from the body in urine. Patients experiencing kidney failure must be careful about the amount and type of protein they consume because the kidneys are no longer doing a good job of removing urea. If too much urea builds up in the body it can cause serious illness. Patients must be sure to get enough protein however, because without protein the body is not abletoperform proper muscle maintenance.
Fluid Intake
When patients are experiencing kidney failure, their kidneys are no longer removing water from the body with proper efficiency. The worse that the kidneys are functioning, the more important it is for patients to monitor their fluid intake. Water retention can cause swelling in the feet and ankles, as well as other parts of the body. The most recommended method for preventing water retention is to monitor salt intake, as recommended above.
The function of the kidney diet is to help patients with kidney disease to feel better, limit their symptoms, and slow the development of kidney failure. For people with kidney disease, it is important to maintain the proper balance of electrolytes, minerals, and fluid in the bloodstream. For patients undergoing dialysis treatments, this becomes even more important. This is because the kidneys work to rid the body of excess electrolytes, minerals, and fluid by filtering the blood. When a person's kidneys are not functioning properly, these substances can build up in the body and cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, tiredness, weakness, sleepiness, and other problems. If patients lower their intake of certain substances they can help to control these problems, but if they limit these same substances too severely, they can suffer from malnutrition. The kidney diet is designed to help patients find the best balance for their body.
The benefits of the kidney diet are enormous. Patients who have been diagnosed with early to late kidney failure must follow a special diet in order to slow deterioration and lessen their symptoms. Patients who do not follow a special diet will inevitably see their disease become worse more quickly. Patients who do follow this diet usually feel better and can prolong the use of their kidneys.
People with any level of kidney failure should be under medical supervision. Patients will usually need to work closely with a renal dietician who can monitor important levels of electrolytes, minerals, and fluids to make sure that patients are maintaining proper nutrition while limiting the load on their kidney and other bodily systems. The diet for dialysis patients is especially strict and should be taken extremely seriously in order avoid further complications.
While there are risks to following the kidney diet guidelines, they are usually far outweighed by the risks of not following the guidelines. Patients should work with a renal dietician to determine their specific requirements. Dietary supplements will usually be needed to maintain proper nutrition.
A concern for kidney patients is that they maintain proper protein levels. Kidneys, when functioning normally, remove urea, a waste product of protein, from the bloodstream. When kidneys are not functioning properly, urea can build up in the system and make patients ill. Because of this patients with kidney failure need to limit the amount of protein in their diets. However, it is important for patients to not be over-zealous in their limiting of protein, because too getting too little protein can also have serious health consequences.
Patients with kidney disease also run the risk of losing bone calcium due to high phosphorus levels. If patients do not take a phosphate binder, phosphorus in the blood will pull calcium from the bones, making them weak and brittle.
Potassium levels are also important to people with kidney disease. This mineral affects the steadiness of the heartbeat and its level in the bloodstream is normally kept steady by the kidneys. If there is too much potassium in the blood it can be very dangerous for the heart, and possibly even fatal.
Maintaining daily calorie intake is a concern for patients following a kidney diet. With the great number of restrictions placed on the kinds of foods a person can eat it can be difficult for a patient to eat enough calories each day. However if overall caloric intake is not maintained at high enough levels the patient can suffer body tissue breakdown.
If patients with later stages of kidney disease do not pay close attention to their sodium and fluid intake they have a serious risk of retaining water. Fluid can build up and cause painful swelling and weight gain. It also can cause blood pressure to rise which can adversely affect the heart. Kidney disease patients also have a greater risk of heart disease. Following a low-fat diet will usually be necessary.
Research and general acceptance
The kidney diet is the accepted diet for people with kidney disease, especially those patients who are on dialysis. The is little or no debate that it is essential for patients experiencing kidney failure to closely monitor their diet. A doctor may also prescribe other treatments in addition to a special diet.

Fans like me of Gordon Biersch brewery and restaurant will be in a good mood upon hearing the news that Dean Biersch is nearing completion on his next beer-related venture in at the intersection of Highways 116 and 12 in Sebastopol. His anticipated Hopmonk Tavern (www.hopmonk.com) is scheduled to open in spring of this year, and usher in a new-era watering hole for Sonoma County beer aficionados. Biersch is the co-founder of the aforementioned brewery and restaurant, a concept that spread like wildfire via incarnations in various cities around the nation and which also helped bring the microbrew-pub trend in the United States to a froth.
For his new endeavor, Biersch plans to serve up an English-style tavern, complete with neighborly atmosphere and live regular live music. But the focus will be on beer and good food that goes well with beer. The plan is for Hopmonk to offer a regularly changing menu of small-batch beers from across the U.S. and Europe. The beers, personally selected by Biersch, will be offered alongside a simple menu of suds-friendly, locally sourced fare. Further completing the scene is Hopmonk's setting; built into a century-old structure with stone walls and a Douglas fir plank floor Designed by Shawn Hall, the 105-seat restaurant will feature restored Douglas fir floors. The restaurant is complemented by a 1,400-square-foot music venue that is sure to be a weekend hotspot. The outdoor beer garden will surely be popular no matter what day of the week. I, for one, am looking forward to hopping on over.

Born: January 1916, Brudzew, Poland
Chaim's family came from a small town where his father owned a textile store. When antisemitic pogroms broke out in Brudzew, the Engels moved to the industrial city of Lodz. Chaim was then 5 years old. In Lodz he attended a Jewish school that also provided a secular education. After finishing middle school, Chaim went to work at his uncle's textile factory.
1933-39: Our neighborhood in Lodz was predominantly Jewish, so most of my friends were Jews. As a young adult I began my compulsory army service. On September 1, 1939, only two weeks before my tour of duty was scheduled to end, the Germans invaded Poland. After a few weeks I was taken as a POW. One German captor learned I was Jewish, but he didn't shoot me. I was taken to Germany for forced labor.
1940-44: In March 1940 all Jewish POWs were returned to Poland. I was deported to the Sobibor death camp in the summer of 1942. In October 1943 a small group of prisoners revolted. I stabbed our overseer to death. With each jab I cried, "This is for my father, for my mother, for all the Jews you killed." The knife slipped, cutting me, covering me with blood. Chaos took over; many prisoners ran out the main gate. Some stepped on mines. Some gave up and didn't run at all. I grabbed my girlfriend and we ran into the woods.
Chaim hid in the Polish woods with his girlfriend, Selma. After the war they married and lived in Europe and Israel. The Engels settled in the United States in 1957.

The OM Chris Hillman Custom Artist Edition
Western Theme Highlights
Even in a music career that now spans five decades, Chris Hillman's accomplishments and accolades are so remarkable it is hard to believe they belong to one person.
As a founding member of the Byrds, he co-wrote So You Want To Be A Rock And Roll Star and played a pivotal role in the creation of "Sweetheart of the Rodeo," the landmark album that launched country rock as a genre.With friend Gram Parsons, he founded the Flying Burrito Brothers, which sparked the outlaw movement in country. As leader of the Desert Rose Band, he put more than a dozen singles on the country charts.
He helped launch the career of Emmylou Harris, and recorded with artists ranging from Stephen Stills and Tony Rice to Herb Pedersen and Bernie Leadon. His songs have been recorded by Sheryl Crow, Beck, Steve Earle, Tom Petty and Dwight Yoakam, among others. He became a member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with the Byrds in 1991, nabbed three consecutive Academy of Country Music "Touring Band of the Year" awards with the Desert Rose Band, garnered four Grammy nominations and received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Americana Music Association.
For all his success, Hillman remains true to his roots, a third-generation California cowboy. He wanted that heritage represented on his namesake Martin Custom Edition, so Martin artist relations manager Dick Boak introduced him to famed Western artist William (Willy) Matthews. Willy created a handsome "branding iron and lariat" logo that includes Chris Hillman's initials and slyly pays homage to the company Chris established to handle his songs, Bar None Music.
Willy and Dick worked closely to translate the art to inlay for the new Martin OM-28 Chris Hillman Custom Edition. Recreated in black mother of pearl, white mother of pearl, faux ivory and gold mother of pearl, the logo looks spectacular against the polished black ebony headplate.
The unique headstock inlay is just one of several appointments that make the OM-28 Chris Hillman Custom Edition a singularly handsome guitar. The familiar arched "C. F. Martin & Co." at the top of the headplate is inlaid in abalone pearl, as are the Style 45 snowflake position markers on the black ebony fingerboard that lead to Chris Hillman's signature between the 19th and 20th frets. An understated 1932 shaded top, reminiscent of Martin's original sunburst from the early 1930s, expands from light amber at the center of the top to antique bronze at the edges, and provides a unique canvas for the bold herringbone top purfling and herringbone rosette. The back strip also is inlaid herringbone.
Tortoise color body, neck and headstock binding, heelcap and endpiece are all (with the exception of the herringbone encircled top) accented with delicate black/white purfling or inlay. A beveled and polished vintage-style Delmar nitrate pickguard, Waverly open gear tuners with oval ebony buttons, and white bridge and end pins inlaid with tortoise-color dots complete this elegant instrument.
The solid tonewoods on the OM-28 Chris Hillman Custom Edition are equally stellar. The rare Adirondack spruce top is matched to scalloped Adirondack spruce braces for powerful, balanced tone. Back and sides of East Indian rosewood provide resonant timbre. The low profile 1 3/4" (at the nut) neck is carved from genuine mahogany. For optimal sound, both the nut and compensated drop-in saddle are crafted from genuine bone.
The care Chris Hillman took to develop "his" Martin guitar reflects a lifetime of making music. A native of the ranchlands of rural northern San Diego County, he got hooked on country music and bluegrass early, and soon was playing guitar and mandolin. In his mid-teens, he joined local bluegrassers the Scottsville Squirrel Barkers, with whom he played on their only album at age 17. When the Barkers called it quits, he was invited to become a member of the Golden State Boys, a top Southern California bluegrass band. The group eventually morphed into the Hillmen, named after Chris even though he wasn't the group's leader.
The Hillmen played weekly on Cal's Corral, a live local country music television show, and recorded one album, but it too soon folded and Chris was considering enrolling at UCLA when he was invited to hear three musicians with acoustic guitars run through their songs at a Los Angeles studio. The musicians were Roger McGuinn, Gene Clark and David Crosby and they recruited him to play electric bass, an instrument he had no familiarity with but quickly learned. Following the addition of drummer Michael Clarke, they became the Byrds. The group's first single, Mr. Tambourine Man, was a huge hit and the Byrds became a major force in rock & roll.
By early 1968, after several hits and serious attrition in the ranks, the Byrds were down to two members: Chris and Roger. Chris recruited musical acquaintance Gram Parsons and cousin Kevin Kelley into the band and – pushed by his vision and helped by great country musicians like Clarence White, Lloyd Green and John Hartford – the Byrds recorded "Sweetheart of the Rodeo," the hugely influential album that launched country rock. Gram Parsons left the group soon after the album was finished and after bringing in good friend Clarence White to replace him, Chris also left.
Chris and Gram formed the Flying Burrito Brothers, a group whose "country with attitude" made outlaw country possible. Their first album, "The Gilded Palace of Sin," became a classic. Gram soon lost interest in the band and Chris rebuilt it with great players like Bernie Leadon. Just before he left the group in 1972, Chris happened upon a young woman singing in a Washington D.C. folk club who so impressed him, he recommended her to Gram. The young woman was Emmylou Harris and the rest is country music history.
A phone call from old friend Stephen Stills resulted in the two joining forces to form Manassas, a band as eclectic as it was talented. Over two years, Manassas created a unique blend of American music, but pressures both professional and personal caused the group to disband in 1973. A brief Byrds reunion, a couple of years in the country rock supergroup Souther, Hillman, Furay Band with J.D. Souther and Richie Furay, and two fine solo albums followed. A get-together with Byrds bandmates Roger McGuinn and Gene Clark in the late 1970s became McGuinn, Clark and Hillman, which recorded three albums and had two "Top Ten" singles.
In the early 1980s, Chris – wanting to return to his bluegrass roots – reconnected with Herb Pedersen, a friend and fellow bluegrass musician from his teen years. He also found a song-writing partner in Steve Hill. After recording with Dan Fogelberg and accompanying him on his "High Country Snows" tour, Chris and Herb put together an acoustic band, only to discover it sounded great "plugged in." The Desert Rose Band went on to record seven albums, chart eight "Top Ten" country hits and win a number of awards between 1987 and 1994.
Since 1995, Chris has recorded seven albums: two solo efforts, two with Herb Pedersen, and three with Rice, Rice, Hillman and Pederson, which featured Chris, Herb and brothers Tony and Larry Rice. Chris' most recent album is "The Other Side," a solo project which includes several originals plus new versions of some of his best compositions from the past 40 years. He continues to tour regularly and in 2008 brought back the Desert Rose Band for a handful of concerts.
Delivered in a Geib™ style hardshell case, each Martin OM Chris Hillman Custom Edition guitar bears an interior label personally signed by Chris Hillman and numbered in sequence. The guitar can be ordered in a left-handed version at no additional charge; factory-installed electronics are an extra-cost option. Authorized C. F. Martin dealers will begin accepting orders for the OM Chris Hillman Custom Edition immediately and dealers participating in this "open" edition will be posted on the C. F. Martin website: www.martinguitar.com.

During the design process for his edition, Chris Hillman visited Martin's booth at the Anaheim NAMM Show, sampling dozens of guitars. Choosing aspects from many models, he focused on a specially appointed Adirondack-topped long scale OM with a shaded top. He did his homework well! The resulting guitar is stunning in both appearance and tone.

Shadow priests of the Forsaken are members of the Cult of Forgotten Shadow. A single shadow priest serves as a bishop for a community.[1] There are also shadow priests among the trolls; they find Forsaken to be kindred spirits.[2] There are also shadow priests that follow Kil'jaeden.[3]
Shadow priests in World of WarcraftEdit
Shadow Priests are a specialization of the Priest class who have put the majority of their talents into the Shadow Tree. Priests interested in soloing and PvP usually select a heavy amount of Shadow talents, as Shadow spells dole out high DPS. These priests lack the healing power of priests specialized in the Holy and Discipline trees, but are formidable opponents in PvP.
Shadow Priests can also be invaluable support, whether by silencing casters, disarming melee, applying the Misery debuff to help allies hit, reducing an enemy's healing by use of Improved Mind Blast, shielding a party member, or dropping Shadowform to help with healing.
Prior to The Burning Crusade, Shadow priests were of limited use in group PVE, as they were generally inferior to primary DPS classes. Shadow priests now have little need to concern themselves with mana availability or crit rate, allowing them to focus almost solely on maximizing spell damage.
It is a common misconception that Shadow Priests are incapable of healing instances. As long as the Priest stays out of Shadowform and focuses on healing, he or she should be able to heal well enough to serve a group. An experienced Shadow Priest with high damage can even heal through trash pulls and non-raid bosses with Vampiric Embrace and Shadowform.
Shadow Priests in Endgame Edit
Group Contribution Edit
Shadow priests are extremely useful in endgame content, providing Replenishment for mana-intensive fights, and group healing for fights that include multiple people taking damage. Also, shadow priests with 3/3 Misery increase chance to hit the target with spells by 3%.
Threat Edit
Threat is generally not a problem for shadow priests, due to a 30% reduction of threat generation in Shadowform, and the option to temporarily dump all threat with Fade. However, the healing from Vampiric Embrace, coupled with high damage caused can generate more threat per damage than most other classes. In addition, Mind Flay, a staple damage spell, causes additional threat due to its snare effect. Points into Shadow Affinity is used to reduce overall threat in a party/raid.

Human Rights Depend on Information Encryption
According to a report from the UN's Office i.e. the High Commissioner for Human Rights to be precise, privacy and digital security are paramount in maintaining the freedom of expression and opinion all over the world.
The careful control and balance between law requirement and the endeavors of numerous innovation organizations to give essential protection and security in the digital age has always been complicated. It likewise demonstrates exactly the amount of law requirement offices around the globe need to have admittance to the greater part of our first information interchanges and individual information.
Most of our personal details that make up who exactly we are are collected daily by private companies which we either know or don't know; this endangers our overall security as the information may go into the wrong hands.
UN Report By David Kaye
The UN report by David Kaye, a special rapporteur, suggests that encryption, which is the procedure of digitally scrambling data so that just approved persons can get to it, as well as anonymity features, give the protection and security fundamental for the activity of the privilege to flexibility of assessment and expression in the computerized age.
The report comes in the midst of a developing civil argument in the U.S. about how to best adjust individual protection rights and national security. Since previous government contractual spy Edward Snowden's disclosures about National Security Agency surveillances, tech organizations have resulted to encoding a greater amount of their items.
There has been technologies like Wi-Fi sniffers that do track your movements in department stores, as well as audio beacons that use indiscernible sounds in connecting devices like TVs as well as smartphones.
Searches and information specialists brush open records and after that bartering that individual information off for pennies. Innovation has made a shockingly excellent personal electronic appearance of you, an apparition in the machine. There has been a suggestion that when you comprehend what people look for, you get to know everything i.e. their apprehensions, fears, and trusts; this shows the need for information encryption to safeguard the human right and freedom to security.
U.S. Legislators and Law Enforcer
In the U.S. legislators and law enforcer want technology companies to allow the government to go through the content that passes through their products. The increase in the use of encryption though is argued to make it difficult in criminals' tracking. General society chat on the issue in the U.S., which has concentrated on terrorism and wrongdoing, isn't considering how key encryption is to securing columnists, activists, and ordinary individuals around the globe.
There are numerous a huge numbers of people who rely on upon devices such as encryption or the mysterious scanning tool, Tor to guarantee as much as they can against revelation of their correspondences and to search out data. If the United States proceeds with strategies that command secondary passages for law implementation, it could energize different countries with poor human rights records to push for comparable concessions.
It's clear that when settled popular governments do things that are conflicting with human rights law, others around the globes who aren't as a matter of course in the vote based camp takes that as an illustration of something that is allowed. Information encryption remains to be an essential tool for protecting people's security and should be utilized mostly around the world.

What you get with a subscription to Energy Advantage
There's an energy story no one's telling you. And it's huge.
It's about the overwhelming demand curve in energy that's going through the roof.
The need is so enormous it's going to take at least $48 trillion in new energy investments between now and 2035 to keep the world humming.
That's over $2 trillion in new energy spending every year for the next 20 years… or the world will come to a virtual standstill.
The off-shoot for investors is almost inconceivable profits.
It's being driven by the greatest growth story the world has ever known. Countless billions in Asia who are suddenly wealthier, healthier, and upwardly mobile.
To put this massive "super shift" into perspective, all you need to do is look at the map below and remember that more people live in the RED REGIONS than in all of the GRAY COMBINED.
For every 10 people in the world, six are from Asia. And all of them want to live more like their Western counterparts.
In fact, the size of the "global middle class" will increase from an estimated 2.3 billion this year to 3.2 billion by 2020, and to nearly 5 billion by 2030, with the bulk of the growth occurring in Asia.
Shifts this big are exceedingly rare. As one banker remarked during one of my recent meetings in London, "This scenario emerges maybe once a generation."
Even with all of the efforts to conserve energy, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) now projects global energy demand will rise more than 40% by 2035.
To meet this squeeze, the world is going to have to produce a record-setting amount of energy every year for as far as the eye can see. To do it, the world is going to need every viable source of power available.
Oil, coal, natural gas, wind, solar, biofuels, geothermal, nuclear power – you name it and it will be needed… all in volumes too big to contemplate.
The fast-rising demand curve is going to double or even triple the number of opportunities to make a fortune in the energy sector over the next several years.
And for as long as I have been in this business, I couldn't possibly be more optimistic than I am right now. The investment opportunities I'm investigating have never been this good.
I'm talking about new profit points in every type of fuel imaginable, including:
- Massive opportunities as U.S. begins to export oil
- The game-changing emergence of the liquefied natural gas export market
- Eye-opening opportunities in "Second Generation" biofuels
- A secret ingredient that can make the sun shine at night
- Enormous new oil discoveries as the "Shale Revolution" goes global
- Safe nuclear power plants that can be delivered on rail cars
And that's just a small taste of what I'm investigating at the moment. Each represents an unbelievable opportunity… if you know how way to play it.
No, It's Not Insider Trading, It Only Feels That Way
Of course, the kinds of recommendations I regularly share with members of Energy Advantage are only known to a select few.
It's inside access, and you won't be able to get this type of information anywhere else on earth.
Any one of the opportunities I disclose could make you enough money to retire early.
It all begins with a subscription to Energy Advantage. As one of my readers you'll immediately gain access to:
- The Monthly Issue – On the third Friday of each month, I will share my findings with you over a secure network. Inside each of my issues, you will get detailed descriptions of opportunities most people know nothing about, key developments in the energy industry, and updates to existing recommendations.
- Industry Briefings – Over the past year, I've been to over 20 countries. Often times, these trips expose me to the kinds of deals that can change your life. As a member of Energy Advantage, I'll give you news on every trip and the folks I talk to.
- Vital Updates – The minute I learn of any news that can affect your position in any opportunities, you will immediately be notified via email.
- Private 24/7 Access – Once you become a member of Energy Advantage I will give you private login information to my secure website. Here, you can view and read all of my monthly briefings and updates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
No, it's not insider trading – but it's valuable enough to feel that way.
INCREDIBLE: 20 Triple-Digit Wins, 88 Double-Digit Wins
Imagine if you could get your hands on at least 20 triple-digit wins – including whopper wins of 243%, 279%, 314%, even as much as 368%…
PLUS 88 double-digit wins…
AND capture gains that are almost 10 times as much as the Dow is handing out this year.
That's thousands of dollars that can be in your wallet, bursting at the seams.
