text: BUSINESS EM.Sport Media takes 15% of Wige Media 4:00 AM PST 2/1/2008 by Scott Roxborough , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Empty COLOGNE, Germany -- German television group EM.Sport Media has acquired a 15% stake in Cologne-based production outfit Wige Media from securities trading bank Close Brothers Seydler. The deal, which was reportedly valued at $3 million-$4 million, is part of EM's strategy to shift its business entirely to the field of sports TV.Wige has a wide production profile but its specialty is live sports -- particularly Formula One auto racing and professional soccer. The company has been production partner of EM subsidiary Plazamedia for several years. EM board member Rainer Huther called Wige "the perfect fit" for Plazamedia. With the European production market undergoing a consolidation phase, Huther said EM wanted to play "an active role" by expanding its capacity to cover live, outdoor sporting events. EM has been trying, unsuccessfully, to sell off its money-losing kids entertainment division in order to focus entirely on sports. The kids unit, which includes a massive library of old German cartoons and the kids pay TV channel Junior TV, has been on the market for months. A glut of children's programming on the world market and the current credit crunch in the U.S. has made it hard for EM to offload the division.

18 ladies attended today. Director Gail Sacco brought in one of her knitting friends (and the scarf this friend had made for her) to join us so we had a new person, plus the two new ladies from last week attended again today. One of them, Pam, brought in all the fabric for a queen-size quilt in the Hidden 9-patch II pattern. She worked with Kathy Olsen and they cut and sewed to get started on this quilt. Pam had some beautiful batiks to work with so I'm sure it will be an amazing quilt. We were treated to a great show-and-tell today. Cathy M. brought in a quilt made with all oriental fabric. It is for her son who was married in Japan and likes all things Japanese. It was a truly beautiful quilt. Then Marie brought in a utility quilt (her words). It was a true scrap quilt made of polyesters. It was tied with the ties encased in yo-yos, 56 of them to be exact. She's made 2 of these quilts. Marie is a busy beaver--she brought in that beautiful, complex crocheted tablecloth just a couple of weeks ago and now 2 quilts! She's pretty amazing. I set up a sewing machine and sewed together the sampler top for Daryl. I hope that next week we can lay it out and tie it. I hope we can finish it before Daryl comes back. Mary Ann M. brought in her finished music quilt to show us. Then she showed us her Sudoku quilt she is making plus another of her picture quilts entitled "It takes a village". Both are going to be really neat. I look forward to seeing the finished work. Mary Ann also brought in some delicious apple cake. Yummy!

Physical Education Division
Sport has a long tradition at the Faculty of Arts. As a central institution in the field of humanities, we have always been aware of the importance of a well-rounded personality and the values embodied in sport. Sit mens sana in corpore sano (A sound mind in a healthy body) is also our main motto. Students have the opportunity to select the general elective course "Sport and Humanities", which includes the sub-chapters of Philosophy of Sports, Sociology of Sports, and Medicine and Preventive Healthcare at the first-cycle level, and Sociology of Sports Two and History of Sports at the second-cycle level. Our programmes are educationally oriented and give students a chance to learn the basics of new sports, as well as to improve upon techniques already familiar to them. Additionally, we provide preventive healthcare and medically-oriented content while training students in important information on the effects of exertion on the human body, body posture, spine stabilisation exercises, healthy living, etc. Finally, our programmes offer recreational content and information on an active lifestyle.

EVERTON Chief Executive Michael Dunford paid tribute to the club's "incredibly loyal" supporters today - as season ticket sales for 2001-02 crashed through the 20,000 barrier.
Season tickets at Goodison peaked last season at 21,800, but with a fortnight still remaining before the start of the new campaign, hopes are high that The Toffees can pass that mark.
"After what they have had to endure in recent times, their support is nothing short of incredible," said Mr Dunford.
"Hopefully some of the innovations we have introduced in the summer - like 99 juvenile season tickets - have contributed, but mostly it just demonstrates how loyal our hardcore following is.
"It has been a difficult summer for everybody, but 20,000 people still feel they must pledge their allegiance to the club, which is hugely appreciated.
"The numbers we have taken to Preston and Burnley for pre-season friendly matches already demonstrates the quantity and quality of our following. Everyone here is very thankful for that."

The repeal of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy was not accompanied by any guidance as to how this change would affect military culture and LGB service members and veterans, or the professionals who will work with them. Why it is vital for MPFC to provide LGBT Cultural Competency Training? The MPFC Community Survey (2011-2012) showed that over half of the respondents agree that coming out would put them and members of their family at risk for negative reactions within the military community, even though Don't Ask Don't Tell has been repealed.

Discovering the One

Childhood obesity is on the rise. In fact, many experts consider it an epidemic. If your child has been diagnosed as obese, it's not too late. There are a number of things you can do as a parent to help your child turn their life around. In fact, this may be the most powerful lesson you can give your child.
Goal Setting
One of the most difficult aspects of obesity to manage is the fact that it feels like an overwhelming problem. Children have a lot on their minds. They have peer pressure and pressure to perform at school. They're dealing with hormones, learning about themselves and the pressures of home. It's a lot to handle. Top it off with a weight problem and it can be too much.
This is a great opportunity to teach your child that they're in control and how to set goals. The key is to sit down together and create visionary goals supported by achievable goals. Visionary goals are goals that look to the future. They're the "Where would you like to be in two years, five years, ten years from now" question.
However, visionary goals are just dreams if they don't have supporting goals that are achievable. For many children, the supporting goals have to be small. They need to be goals like, "lose five pounds in thirty days." These supporting goals are essential because they'll teach your child that they can accomplish anything. They establish a pattern of success. As your child becomes confident in themselves and their ability to achieve success, they'll set harder goals. It's a great process to watch.
Once your child has created their goals, your job as a parent is to guide them to create processes to succeed. Ask them how they're going to lose those five pounds in thirty days. Maybe you can work together to lose it. You can ride bikes together or cook healthy meals together. Children need to learn they can accomplish anything but they need their parents for guidance and support.
Positive Daily Habits
One of the best ways to support your child to turn their obesity around is to embrace positive daily habits. It's difficult to eliminate a bad habit if you don't have a positive one to replace it. Focus on one small habit at a time. For example, if your child always has a bowl of ice cream when they get home from school, replace that with a healthy snack and a good conversation.
It usually takes three to four weeks for a new habit to take hold. Be supportive and be present. Once your child has mastered one new positive habit, create another one together. Eventually, your child will be spending their days focused on good habits. All the unhealthy habits will have been replaced.
Find Time for Fun
It's a sure bet that if overcoming childhood obesity is all work and no fun, your child is likely going to give up. We all need to have fun. That means playing, laughing, and having the occasional food treat. The ultimate goal is to teach healthy habits and moderation.
That doesn't mean your child can never have a bowl of ice cream ever again. It may take a while to reverse childhood obesity, but the lessons your child learns along the way will be powerful life lessons they'll have with them always.Help them learn how to have fun, how to make healthy decisions and how to gain control over their life.

Cosmetic Rejuvenation Medical Center is offering microneedling. Dermapen treatment with PRP. Micro-needling and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) are a first-class combination of procedures that have many fantastic benefits. They assist your skin to help it look even better than it ever has before. The wonderful thing about these procedures is that they are all natural. PRP for instance, comes from your blood and helps induce growth and puts growth factors back into you. Dermapen's multi-speed and adjustable needle depths permit the needles to pierce the skin's layers at 90 degrees and increases the effectiveness of treatments by increasing the absorption of products, generating a smaller amount of pain and downtime for the patient. Dermapen can effectively treat hard-to-reach areas (e.g. in the regions around the eyes, nose, and lips). Because of the vertical delivery, the needles can easily penetrate scar tissue. Dermapen promotes scar-less healing, like fractional laser treatments, IPL, laser resurfacing, and chemical peels, but without the side effects and downtime. The mechanism of injury is a natural process, which makes Dermapen a complete approach to skin therapy. Four main phases of physiological wound response aid in stimulating new healthy tissue growth. First, an inflammatory response (1-3 days), to the initial wound promotes the chemotaxis response and proliferation of fibroblasts. The body's platelets likewise react to initiate a wound matrix. This response is the beginning phase of cell migration to remove debris and bacteria and stimulate the next proliferative stage. During the second stage (3-5 days), the new fibroblasts, monocytes, keratinocytes of the first stage continue to proliferate and multiply. New collagen will be laid down and deposited with fresh, new tissue formation. Next a fibrotic response (5-20 days), of growth factors are released and fibroblasts release collagen. Lastly, the maturation phase of new healthy skin takes place from day 28 to two years after treatment. Collagens mature and stiffen and the matrix of new tissue shows 80% to full tensile strength.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) based cosmetic treatments have received an enormous level of media attention as of late. PRP treatments have become recognized for their power to completely restore the face; resulting in firmer and younger looking skin. This treatment provides spectacular results in wrinkle and fine line reduction, pore size reduction, scar and acne scar, pigmentation and stretch mark reduction and collagen production. The result is overall younger-looking skin.
- Restored Skin
- Tightened Skin
- Reduced Acne
- Reduces Pore Size
- Reduces Hyperpigmentation
- Reduces Fine Lines
- Firms the Skin
Needling does not harm the skin (in contrast to such methods as laser resurfacing and chemical peels).
Skin becomes thicker. Collagen and elastin deposition increases.
Any part of the body may be treated.
The healing period is short
Less pricey, less risky and less damaging than laser resurfacing.
Can be safely done on individuals with pigmented or really dry skin.
At times telangiectasia (broken capillaries) also improves, likely because the vessels are ruptured in so many regions that they cannot be repaired.
The method is easy to master using the latest specialized tools and does not necessarily have to be performed by a plastic surgeon or dermatologist.
Can be done with topical anesthesia for limited areas.
Exposure to blood. The process is relatively bloody.
Needling does not create as much new collagen deposition as laser resurfacing. However, treatment can be repeated and the results are cumulative, so after multiple treatments the results could be similar to to those of laser resurfacing.
Herpes simplex is an atypical complication and individuals are instructed to use a topical antiviral drug if they feel the prickling typical of herpes.
WHAT TO ANTICIPATE AND POST-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRP with MICRO-NEEDLING:
Throughout the first 1-3 days you will look red (like a sunburn) and your skin may feel warm and taut.
Throughout the first 3 days: use a soft cleanser, sunscreens and gentle moisturizers. Apply 1% hydrocortisone as needed for irritation. Avoid swimming, strenuous activity, working out and sun exposure.
We highly advise that you use TNS essential serum after your treatment to increase the results. We suggest the TNS recovery serum between and after your treatments to quicken and maintain your results.
Avoid makeup, retinoids, glycolic acids, vitamin C products, sunscreens and Essential Serum the first night.
Further instructions when PRP is used: Avoid retinoids for 2 weeks and avoid lasers and IPL treatments to the treated areas for 4 weeks after the treatment (however they may be performed ahead of the treatment.)

Bassil: Israel can siphon off Lebanese oil, gas
Caretaker Energy and Water Minister Gebran Bassil warned Friday that the recent Israeli discovery of a new gas field 4 kilometers away from the Lebanese coast meant Israel could easily siphon off Lebanon's gas wealth. Pointing to a map showing the location of the Israeli gas field, Bassil told reporters that in theory Israel could extract Lebanese gas near the Israeli field through advanced technology.
"Israel could lay a pipeline horizontally to siphon off Lebanese gas, which is sitting only 4 kilometers away from the new discovered Israeli field," Bassil said.
He added that this development was very serious and for this reason the Cabinet should hold an extraordinary meeting as soon as possible to pass two decrees pertaining to the demarcation of the maritime gas fields.
Lebanon has yet to demarcate the maritime borders with Cyprus and Israel in order to determine the boundaries of each country.
Lebanon has called on the United Nations to conduct this demarcation, but there is no sign that this step will be carried out in the foreseeable future.
The energy minister added that the newly discovered Israeli gas field was located a mere 4 kilometers away from block number 8 and 6 kilometers from block number 9, both of which belong to Lebanon.
"We can't say that a disaster has taken place now, but nevertheless we should take actions to prevent Israel from taking our gas and oil in the future," Bassil stressed.
He argued that the world record in horizontal oil drilling is 10 kilometers and this clearly shows that Israel, which possesses advanced technology, can easily siphon off Lebanon's oil and gas fields, which are within reach.
Bassil added that Israel would not dare launch an attack on the Lebanese oil and gas fields thanks to what is commonly called the formula of "people, Army and resistance."
The energy minister renewed calls to speed up the approval of important decrees to facilitate the work of the Petroleum Administration.
Experts cautioned that if all the decrees were not approved on time then international oil companies which made bids to extract gas off the Lebanese coast might not be able to accomplish their task as the necessary laws would not be in place.
Bassil said he would try to persuade all parliamentary blocs and the president to hold an urgent parliamentary meeting to pass all the decrees to help the companies and the Petroleum Administration do their jobs.
Bassil said in June 2012 that all of Lebanon's 10 demarcated offshore blocks were nominated as areas of interest by oil and gas firms participating in the initial licensing round.
Spectrum company, which surveyed 3,000 kilometers of Lebanese waters, estimates Lebanon's hidden gas wealth at more than 25 trillion cubic feet, noting that the prospects of more oil and gas in other areas are also high.

Investigating a rheumatoid arthritis drug as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease
Read about a research project we funded into a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of the affect of a TNFα antibody, Etanercept, on microglial activation in amyloid PET positive patients with mild cognitive impairment due to AD-intermediate likelihood.
Lead Investigator: Professor Clive Holmes
Institution: University of Southampton
Grant type: Project grant
Duration: 3 years
Amount: £362,000 (Split 50:50 with the Alzheimer's Drug Discovery foundation. This project is part of a larger EU funded collaborative project called INMiND, project grant agreement number: HEALTH-F2-2011-278850)
What do we already know?
There is growing evidence that the immune system plays a role in the development of Alzheimer's disease. Research in this area has focused on specialised immune cells in the brain called microglia.
Usually, when the brain is affected by an infection, microglia become 'activated' and begin releasing chemicals to help fight the infection. One of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease is the presence of sticky clumps of a protein called amyloid around the brain cells. Evidence from using animals that show symptoms of Alzheimer's disease indicates that the amyloid clumps may be responsible for activating the microglia. If the brain is then subjected to an infection, the microglia become overactive and release chemicals at levels that cause damage to the cells. This causes accelerated Alzheimer's disease progression in the animals.
What does the project involve?
An Alzheimer's Society project given to Professor Holmes previously found that infections can speed up memory decline in people with Alzheimer's disease. One of the chemicals that are released by microglia in response to an infection is called TNFα. Drugs that lower the levels of TNFα are already approved for use in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, which is caused by a faulty immune system. This project builds on a small clinical trial to determine whether one of these drugs, Etanercept, was safe to use in people with Alzheimer's disease.
Professor Holmes and his collaborators are now planning on conducting another small trial to determine whether Etanercept can confer any benefit to people affected by mild cognitive impairment. This trial will give 46 volunteers either Etanercept or a placebo drug every week for a year. The researchers will use the results to determine whether Etanercept can reduce the activation of microglia in people with mild cognitive impairment. It also aims to see whether treatment with Etanercept can help to improve cognitive ability in the volunteers.
How will this benefit people with dementia?
Treatments available to people with Alzheimer's disease are currently limited. However, it can take up to 20 years to develop a drug from scratch.
This trial is an example of drug repurposing, which involves taking pre-existing drugs for other conditions and determining whether they can benefit people with dementia. This is one of the key purposes of our Drug Discovery programme. This method can help to speed up the process of drug development as the existing drugs have already passed several checkpoints.

And, if all that wasn't enough, there was also time built in to meet with a variety of successful mentors in education, business, and edtech. Thank you to all for sharing your insight!
It was an incredible week and we're lucky to have been given the opportunity to take part. Education Nation offered a platform for people to come together from all across the country to discuss a wide range of issues impacting education. This year's theme was "What Does it Take for Students to Succeed?". Although the answer to this question is quite complex, some things are for sure, it will take continued dialogue, research, and dedicated individuals who are determined to help ALL our kids succeed.
A big thank you goes out to NBC for hosting the Education Nation Innovation Challenge and the Robin Hood Foundation for sponsoring the event. Also thanks to David Havens and NewSchools Venture Fund for originally selecting Teachley as one of many potential companies for the competition. We learned a lot and look forward to watching next year.

Talk:VCS package guidelines
Q: Any reason for using 'svn co' instead of 'svn export'? export is way faster for these situations and it doesn't create all the .svn files.
A: Look at http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=245213
Just wondering if the versionpkg part will be removed - I hear that makepkg now has versionpkgs functionality... --ak5 16:55, 8 June 2008 (EDT)

The title for this article indicate guidelines for CVS and SVN, but git and darcs are also included. Perhaps the title should be changed to reflect this, or git and darcs guidelines should be separated off into their own articles. --mentallaxative 01:48, 18 October 2008 (EDT)
- I agree. --Matthewbauer 17:16, 21 July 2009 (EDT)

"The CDC has estimated that HIV diagnosis rates among men having sex with men (MSM) are 60 times the rate in other men and 54 times the rate in women," said researchers at the University of Illinois. Brian Mustanski, of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Illinois, together with colleagues from Brown University, recently conducted a study to determine what factors posed the greatest risk for HIV contraction in this segment of the population. They stated that between 2001 and 2006, MSM ages 13 to 24 reported the largest increase in sexually transmitted diseases, with black MSM showing a 93% increase themselves. In order to identify who is most vulnerable, the team evaluated a group of MSM from an existing study on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) youth. Over a period of 18 months, the researchers questioned the participants three times and were able to gather data based on 413 specific partnerships.
"This is the first study to our knowledge to use longitudinal data to explore the effects of multiple relationship factors within young MSM across numerous sexual partnerships," said the researchers. "In this context, the most important predictor of unprotected sex was classifying the relationship as serious. In fact there was almost no unprotected sex occurring in relationships classified as casual. This effect is important because across an 18-month window, 80% of young MSM had at least one serious relationship and nearly one third had three or more serious relationships." The team noted that this fact alone increased the chances of contracting HIV by eight times. The second biggest risk factor was found in MSM who were forced into having sex, either verbally or physically. The researchers said, "While our results show that HIV risk is associated with serious relationships, this detrimental effect must be interpreted in the context of the other emotional and health benefits that can come with being in a close and positive romantic relationship. Prior research has shown that being in intimate relationships may buffer against stressful life experiences that contribute to physical and mental health problems."

A Thousand More, a video produced by MediaStorm, demonstrates the beauty of a good visual story.
The tale is about a young boy named Philly Mayer who was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). Due to the disease, his movement is hindered to the extent that he is confined to a motorized chair. However, that doesn't stop this ambitious boy from doing the things he loves. He's an avid swimmer and adventurer. Philly's family shows an unparalleled love and support for this sweet little guy.
Philly's doctors told his parents that he would only live to be seven years old. When his mother asked the nurse what they could do for Philly, she replied, "Nothing." SMA has no known cure, but is merely a disease to wait out.
With such a disheartening diagnosis, Philly's parents have taken the initiative to provide the fullest life possible for their son.
"He's going to do what he wants to do," says dad, Phillip Mayer.
Philly has traveled the country, been involved and shared his story.
Despite the doctor's prediction to last only seven years, Philly is still going strong. He is approaching his 12th birthday (April 2).
Sadly, while doing a little research about Philly, I discovered his father died this past January. (I've been crying about for 10 minutes.) I'm not sure the cause, but I can't begin to fathom what this loss has done to the Mayer family. However, the Mayer family has a strong, Christian faith and church family to help them through.
The piece is truly phenomenal. It tells an emotional story that will tug at your heartstrings, but also provides hope. Philly is one heck of an inspirational kid. With all the struggles he's had to overcome in his short 12 years, it's amazing that he is able to be such a playful and optimistic person.
Aside from the beautiful story told, MediaStorm did a great job putting it all together. With our video projects in J2150 just around the corner (i.e., due Tuesday and I haven't started), this piece provides several ideas about how video is done. I hope that I can some day produce a piece of this magnitude and share awesome stories that inspire viewers to care about my subjects.

If you're hungry enough, you can probably devour an entire burrito in a matter of minutes with ease. Competitive eater and model Nela Zisser, however, takes the lunchtime feeding frenzy to the next level by eating -- dare we say inhaling -- a 1kg (2.2lb) burrito in just 95 seconds in her latest video on YouTube. Yes, really.
Zisser, the professional eating machine you may remember from that time she ate 50 Krispy Kreme donuts in one sitting, recently took on the annual Big Burrito Challenge at Mad Mex (an Australian chain) and made it look like anything but a challenge. More like an afternoon snack.
Art of the Meal: Chloe Rose Makes Super Mario Bros Art With Hot Sauces
Watch as she absolutely demolishes the massive bundle of beans, rice, meat, cheese, and more with a nearly nonstop series of big bites and seemingly little to no chewing. After just over a minute and a half and a couple of sips of water, only a few fallen beans and other drippings from the massive burrito remain. With a final time of 1:35, she comes in well under the 1:44 it took her to do the same challenge two years ago.
In case you need some perspective on how big the burrito was, consider that a burrito from Chipotle weighs in around a pound and a half. So, if you think about it, she ate the equivalent of a whole Chipotle burrito and half of another one in just 95 seconds. Damn.

What is the difference between a bitmap and vector graphic?
There are two types of digital image files: Vector (preferred format for logos and illustrations) or Bitmap (preferred format for photos). Below are the main details on each format:
Construction: Scalable geometric points, lines and curves based on mathematical expressionsPopular file extensions: .ai, .eps but there are othersExamples: Logos, diagrams, fonts, illustrations, solid colour graphicsTransparency: is possible for example a logo with background removed so graphic is isolatedScalability: unlimited enlargement size without any loss of quality (ie edges remain crisp and clear, ideal for signage, billboards and any other large format needs)
Bitmap (also known as Raster)
Construction: Tiny squares (pixels) for a computer screen or points of colour for printed mediaPopular file extensions: .jpg, .gif, .tiff, bmp but there are othersExamples: Photos, graphics with many shades of colour, poor quality logosTransparency: is not possible, there will be a solid backgroundScalability: Poor, quality will degrade showing blurred content and rough edges (pixels) upon enlarging
The following diagram demonstrates enlarging both formsts and the resulting difference between a vector file (crisp and clear) and a bitmap file (blurry and also with solid white background/rough edges). You will notice in each file's original/small form, both images appear quite crisp and clear but upon enlargement the bitmap file loses quality).

When you're using WordPress to run a massive publishing site with hundreds of contributors, many of whom might only contribute a handful of posts in a year, at some point you need more flexibility in managing the author/user environment.
In creating Byline, a simple plugin for creating a separate taxonomy for post contributors, I wanted to achieve a few things:
- Provide every contributor a unique archive page, just like regular WordPress authors do.
- Replace the WordPress author with the actual contributor name, rather than having a byline in the body text of a post.
- Allow the post editor to append as many authors as needed to fairly credit all contributors, while still giving them the aforementioned archive page.
- Make the plugin work without modifying the theme templates or creating short codes. In other words, be as "native" as possible.
I think that's been achieved with Byline.


text: Two New Models Help Meet Budget Challenges Without Sacrificing Performance Optoma Introduces New, High-Brightness, TW/TX631-3D Projectors for The Education and Corporate Markets Tweet May 29, 2012 FREMONT, Calif. | May 29, 2012 | Making high-brightness and lower power consumption more affordable for budget-minded schools and corporations, Optoma, the best-selling brand of DLP projectors in the Americas, has introduced the TW631-3D and TX631-3D, two new 3500 ANSI lumen projectors with Eco+, a suite of features that reduces power consumption by up to 23 percent, while increasing lamp life by up to 42 percent. Available now, the WXGA resolution TW631-3D carries a price tag of $749, while the XGA TX631-3D is available for $649. According to Jon Grodem, Optoma's senior director of product and marketing, both projectors feature Optoma's newly-introduced Eco+ mode, which evaluates the brightness level of the content and dynamically reduces the lamp intensity to match the scene. The result is great looking content with superb black levels, substantially reduced power consumption and a reduced carbon footprint, all while increasing lamp life. Another energy saving improvement of the Eco+ suite is an update to the familiar AV Mute feature. Traditionally, when selected, AV Mute would simply blank/mute the projected image while the lamp continued to burn at full intensity. With the new Eco+ AV Mute, lamp intensity is reduced by up to 30%, thereby reducing power consumption by up to 70% with the additional benefit of prolonged lamp life. The TW631-3D and TX631-3D also incorporate Quick Resume, a time and energy saving feature that enables the projector to be restarted instantly after it has been powered off. Both projectors are 3D-PC ready, feature a 7-watt speaker system, and provide a full complement of I/O ports, including HDMI 1.3, two VGA-in, VGA-out, composite video, audio-in, audio-out, RS232 and mini USB to ensure that users will always be able to connect to a broad range of source devices. An RJ45 port is also included, along with Crestron RoomView® to facilitate streamlined IT administration with advanced network command and control features. And a built-in closed captioning decoder displays text from videos that have closed captioning embedded in the signal without requiring additional components. Both the TW631-3D and the TX631-3D also offer wireless capabilities via an accessory VGA WiFi dongle. A top-loading lamp design simplifies lamp replacement, saving time and money. At less than 5 lbs, both new projectors are easily transported wherever you need them, and the included padded carrying case offers all the protection you'll need. A full-featured IR remote with mouse and laser pointer is also included as standard equipment, and both projectors come with Optoma's 3-Year Express Replacement Service warranty, with the lamp covered for 1 year.

When the RIAA filed a file-sharing lawsuit against a sergeant in the US Army earlier this year, it included the customary exhibits with screenshots of what it alleges are the defendant's Kazaa library. Along with the 367 sound recordings that Sgt. Nicholas Paternoster is accused of illegally sharing, the exhibit also contained over 4,200 other files—including pornographic images—that had nothing to do with the labels' case. Recognizing its latest gaffe, the RIAA filed a motion asking that the original exhibit be removed from the public record and replaced with a modified exhibit without the superfluous file names.
The case of Warner v. Paternoster started as other P2P actions have, with the defendant sued after MediaSentry, the RIAA's investigative arm, found what it believed was evidence of copyright infringement. After the suit was filed—and the exhibit made public—Sgt. Paternoster decided to fight back, with the Knoxville News Sentinel reporting that he filed a counterclaim accusing the RIAA of violating his privacy and seeking to "shame Counter-Plaintiff... into giving in to their unreasonable demands regarding their copyrighted materials."
In its filing last week, the RIAA noted that Paternoster's attorneys expressed their concerns over the impropriety of the original exhibit listing the 4,604 "personal and private files." The labels then asked the judge to strike the original exhibit from the record as a "professional courtesy" to Paternoster and his attorneys. The judge approved the request and the original exhibit was removed from the public record on July 26.
With the exception of his accusing the RIAA of shaming him by publicizing the contents of the shared folder, Paternoster's counterclaims do not look much different from those made by other file-sharing defendants. That said, the RIAA's decision to disclose the entire contents of what they believe is the defendant's Kazaa share may come back to haunt it once the court considers the counterclaim.
This is not the first time the RIAA has been caught using questionable tactics. After Oregon resident Tanya Andersen, who was mistakenly accused of copyright infringement by the record labels, was exonerated, she sued the RIAA for malicious prosecution. In her complaint, she accused the record labels of trying to contact her then eight-year-old daughter without her knowledge, even calling her elementary school under false pretenses.
Throughout its legal campaign against file-sharing, the RIAA has taken a beating in the court of public opinion. If it continues to be as careless as it has with Tanya Andersen and Sgt. Paternoster, the beatdown may extend to some of the file-sharing lawsuits as well.

Farhan Akhtar has denied reports that he is to star with Shah Rukh Khan in Raees.
It was recently reported that the Bhaag Milkha Bhaag star was to be a police officer in the film, while Khan portrays a bootlegger.
In an interview with GlamSham Akhtar clarified his involvement in the film saying: "I think somebody jumped the gun. It's a film that we are producing. Shahrukh is, of course, in the film. But there's some kind of confusion about me being in it.
"That's not entirely true. I was asked whether I was excited to work with Shahrukh. I said yes, but I think it got misconstrued. I'm not in the film as an actor. I'm producing Raees."
Directed by Rahul Dholakia, shooting for Raees begins in mid 2014 while the film is scheduled to release on Eid 2015.
Akhtar is currently anticipating his next release rom-com Shaadi Ke Side Effects which stars Vidya Balan.
The film releases on February 28.
Watch the trailer for Shaadi Ke Side-Effects below:

If you haven't heard, the non volatile RAM memory is coming to town and for sure will change the persistence patterns of databases, queues, loggers. Want to know more about this new wave of hardware? Read along.
The first and the most important aspect is that persistent memory on Windows, reuses already existing APIs. First, if you want to use the drive just as a block storage, you can do it. You'll be able to create files, write them etc. There's another way of using it, which is much faster, called DAX.
The direct access enables to use the non volatile memory directly. What do I mean by directly? I mean accessing the memory with a raw pointer. How do you obtain a pointer? The old fashioned memory mapped file API is used. First, create a file, then map it and here it is! No FlushFileBuffers, no fsync. Just a raw pointer to the memory. Can you imagine writing to a mapped file and just having it persisted?
The non volatile memory is really fast. You can write 4GB per second. Yes, it's 4GB per second of a persistent memory. The latency is extremely low. It's so low, that using any form of asynchronous programming (raw completion ports, async-await) brings more havoc than just waiting for having this memory written. Yes, this means that your methods hitting files mem mapped with DAX will not need async signatures. Of course you'll be able to preserve them just for the compatibility.
Ordering matters
It looks like tech heaven. No more data loss during power outages, right? It's not entirely true. The persistent memory acts as a memory. There is an order of execution in which data are transported there. Imagine now writing the following string:
If power went down after copying first three letters you'd be left with
Which although shows the same attitude, is not what we wish for when thinking about persistence. This example shows, that good old fashioned IO access patterns will still be important, like write-ahead logging or copy-on-write. But let me remind you again, they will be free with no synchronization, no flushing required.
The persistent memory will change the world. SQL Server 2016 has already adopted it, as you can see here. Some databases are already there, like LMDB using memory mapped files (same API for the win!) with an ability to run as non-durable. Guess what. Now it's durable. More databases will follow.
The persistent memory is here. You won't probably rewrite or rethink your application as majority of apps do not deal with IO directly, but just by applying it to your database or other IO bound systems will be a real game changer.

Ashley Neuhaus 3-OCT-2012 One of the companies that you all should be keeping an eye on is 215ink. You might already be familiar with the name from last month when Amber interviewed Mike Perkins on episode 1226 of VODKA O'CLOCK. I saw a tweet from creator Jeremy Holt calling for reviewers to check out the first issue of his new series SOUTHERN DOG before NYCC this year. I promptly sent Holt an e-mail to which he responded almost immediately with a link to the PDF.
Writer: Jeremy Holt
Artist: Alex Diotto
Colors: Adam Metcalfe
Cover: Riley Rossmo
Letters: Ed Brisson
Design: Tim Daniel
I have yet to be disappointed by a book from 215ink and SOUTHERN DOG is no exception. Starting right off the bat with the cover by Riley Rossmo, you're hit with a somewhat chaotic image including the Confederate flag, werewolves, and a young man's face. As if growing up isn't hard enough as it is, this is a story about a high school kid growing up in the south and facing all the hatred and racism. Jasper is different from his family and others in his town. He doesn't subscribe to the same racism that floods his history classroom or which sits at the dinner table with him. It's not even just the white citizens of his town that spew hate, Jasper also faces disdain from some of his black classmates in this issue.
Alex Diotto's art in this book is really great and complements Holt's writing well. You can see the despair in characters' faces and also the pure hate and evilness of some of the town's citizens. Adam Metcalfe did a nice job with the coloring of the issue. The only problem I had with it is at times the highlights in some scenes seemed off and not fluid like it is in other panels.
On a hunting trip with his father, brother, and some politicians, Jasper encounters a danger that will change his life and present him with a new set of problems and certainly more hatred to be slung his way. If you're going to NYCC, I recommend stopping by the 215ink booth, #2279, and picking up a copy of SOUTHERN DOG #1.

Recipe of the Week: Orange Ricotta Protein Pancakes
I'm a bit of a pancake fiend, so I'm not easily impressed. But this recipe really got me.
It's from my cookbook, Eat Green Get Lean, and it's become one of my "go-to" pancakes.
I love the heartiness of the barley flour, the creaminess from the ricotta cheese, and the citrus taste (which doesn't overpower the dish).
The inclusion of protein powder also makes 1 – 2 servings a viable meal!
Hope you enjoy!

In a separate large mixing bowl, add the ricotta, skim milk, orange juice, orange zest, eggs, butter, and vanilla extract. Beat together until mixed well. Slowly mix liquid ingredients into dry ingredients until just mixed. Do not overmix.
Coat a large nonstick skillet in cooking spray and wipe away the excess with a paper towel. Save this for wiping the pan after each pancake. Heat the skillet over medium heat.
Spoon about 3 to 4 tablespoons of batter onto the griddle and cook until bubbles appear. Flip and cook until golden brown.
Repeat step 4 with the remaining batter.
What You Get to Eat
What did you think of this week's recipe? Let me know in the comments below!
Want to know how to build muscle and lose fat eating delicious foods like these?
"Dieting" doesn't have to suck. You CAN eat foods you like and have the body you want!Click Here to Learn How
What if I told you that just about everything magazines and trainers "teach" you about dieting is wrong?
What if you could build muscle and lose fat eating "naughty" foods every week?
What if you didn't have to suffer through low-carb dieting to get lean? In fact, what if you could eat all the carbs you wanted?
And what if you didn't have to gorge yourself just to gain muscle and didn't have to put on pounds and pounds of ugly fat, either?
In short, what if I told you that proper dieting--whether you want to maximize fat loss or muscle growth--is much simpler and more enjoyable than you've been led to believe?
Imagine eating delicious, filling meals every day...never feeling starved or stuffed...having great energy levels and workouts...and watching your body respond exactly as you desire, dropping fat or adding muscle each and every week.
And imagine finally understanding how proper dieting really works, never again falling for the BS, tricks, and gimmicks pushed by "gurus" and other shysters.
Well, I have good news.
All these "fantasies" can be a reality...if you know how to do a handful of "little" things correctly.
You see, when you know how to diet properly--and this doesn't mean learning to eat boiled chicken and raw broccoli six times per day--getting lean and muscular becomes simple, convenient, and dare I say...enjoyable.
And this book will show you the way.

Do you read every document you sign?
I think it would be hard, maybe even impossible, for most people to answer yes. We are assaulted by legal language everywhere, and too much of it is impenetrable.
Most people read at least some parts of the contracts they sign, particularly the bits that get at the heart of the matter: how much the deal is worth, what the deadlines for payment are, who will pay what to whom, that sort of thing. But I'm sure there is a great temptation not to read an entire legal document word for word, because even poring over the words won't necessary reveal their legal significance or implications.
If you're presented with an agreement that could make or break your company — the financing deal that is going to move your idea out of the basement or the key purchase order that might make your startup a going concern — you need to seek independent legal advice before signing on the dotted line. This is absolutely crucial because you need someone to help you flag any terms in the agreement that might come back to haunt you.
"Big customers can make some hefty demands, and if small or medium-sized business people aren't alert, they can sometimes concede rights," says Michael Henry of Houser, Henry & Syron LLP, a firm in Toronto that does a lot of work with entrepreneurs and private companies.
Entrepreneurship is the pursuit of the possible. It's not about avoiding risk, but taking it and exploiting it. It's therefore understandable why entrepreneurs might wish to avoid lawyers. It's not just about the cost. Lawyers are risk-averse, a trait that makes them seem like killjoys to entrepreneurs. Yet, you hire them to identify legal problems, both actual and potential, and to advise you how to avoid them. This can definitely arise in a consultation about one of those big agreements. Clients who really want to make that deal happen might not be keen to have someone list the potential problems with it.
How does one fuse those two conflicting tendencies? The answer boils down to preparation. If you'd like a lawyer to review an important contract, you need to buckle down and read that document carefully for yourself. You also need to develop some clear instructions for your lawyer: You need your lawyer to understand your business goals and why you think this contract is important to helping you achieve them.
"Tell the lawyer what your priorities are. Explain that you really want the sale, but that you don't want to give up the secret sauce or whatever," Mr. Henry explains. "I think that's what's important: aligning your advisors to what really matters."
Reading these documents, especially the particularly dense ones, can seem like a waste of time. One trick I've learned is to read the document out loud, because that forces you to slow down to a point where you might capture more nuance.
There's a reason why much of the agreement might seem completely foreign to you. Large, sophisticated companies will pack a lot of historical baggage into contracts. If something has caused a problem in the past, they'll incorporate language into all future agreements to protect themselves. Equip yourself with this understanding as you read the agreement: Does each paragraph actually apply to your situation? Ask your lawyer why the other side might want that language in the agreement, and how that term might affect your future relationship.
Make a list of questions as you read. Obviously you'll want to ask about the things you don't understand — but don't limit it to that. You should also flag the things you think you understand. Tell your lawyer what you think those paragraphs mean and ask if you've properly grasped the implications.

Hey Lux Babes! I hope you beauties had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! Mine was filled with so much love and I totally ate too much! The juicy burger was so worth it. :)
What is your go to style or outfit during the hot months?
This has to be one of my favorite dresses for the Spring/Summer time. The Boohoo dress is perfect for those days you want to be girly but comfortable. The sleeves are attached to the side and can be worn high (shown in the pictures above) or a little lower. The dress also shows just enough shoulder to give the romantic touch.
#luxfashion tip: When searching for summer dresses make sure they are hot air friendly. Meaning look for cotton fabrics rather than silk or chiffon. Wearing cotton fabric will help your body breath rather than blocking your pores. The last thing you want is sweat to show through your clothes.
Now let's get to the rest of the outfit, shoes and the handbag! Let us take a moment for both....because they are so LUX!
The sandals were a steal! These Justfab beauties where only $20 bucks compared to $90-$200 I saw online so when I scrolled past them on the website I had to immediately scroll back and purchase them. They are so comfortable and scream summer time! The tassels and fringe are just a perfect combination of girlyness. (I seriously have been trying to wear them with everything.) I paired them with the nude, gold, stripe, and glitter handbag to give the outfit the perfect pop!
What did you wear over the holiday weekend? Post it in the Facebook Group or tweet me on Twitter @pinkluxpl
Have a wonderful week and remember to stay Lux!

The County of Lancashire
Lancashire is a non-metropolitan county of historic origin in the North West of England. It takes its name from the city of Lancaster, and is sometimes known as the County of Lancaster.
Lancashire County Council is based in Preston. However, Lancaster is still considered to be the county town. Lancashire is sometimes referred to by the abbreviation Lancs, originally used by the Royal Mail. The population of the county is 1,449,700. People from the county are known as Lancastrians.
The history of Lancashire is thought to have begun with its founding in the 12th century. In the Domesday Book (1086), some of its lands had been treated as part of Yorkshire. The area in between the rivers Mersey and Ribble (referred to in the Domesday Book as "Inter Ripam et Mersam") formed part of the returns for Cheshire. Once its initial boundaries were established, it bordered Cumberland, Westmorland, Yorkshire and Cheshire.
Lancashire emerged during the Industrial Revolution as a major commercial and industrial region. The county encompassed several hundred mill towns and collieries. By the 1830s, approximately 85% of all cotton manufactured worldwide was processed in Lancashire. Accrington, Blackburn, Bolton, Chorley, Darwen and Burnley were major cotton mill towns during this time. Blackpool was a major centre for tourism for the inhabitants of Lancashire's mill towns, particularly during wakes week.
The county was subject to a significant boundary reform in 1974, which removed Liverpool and Manchester with most of their surrounding conurbations to form part of the metropolitan counties of Merseyside and Greater Manchester. At this time, the detached Furness Peninsula was made part of Cumbria. Today the county borders Cumbria, Greater Manchester, Merseyside and North and West Yorkshire. The Duchy of Lancaster exercises the right of the Crown in the area known as the County Palatine of Lancaster.
Symbol of Lancashire
The Red Rose of Lancaster is a symbol for the House of Lancaster, immortalised in the verse "In the battle for England's head/York was white, Lancaster red" (referring to the 15th century War of the Roses). The traditional Lancashire flag, a red rose on a white field, was never officially registered. When an attempt was made to register it with the Flag Institute it was found that this flag had already been officially registered by the town of Montrose, Scotland, several hundred years earlier with the Lyon Office. As the Flag Institute will not register two flags of the same design (within the UK) Lancashire's official flag is now registered as a red rose on a gold field.

I have been poor and I have been wealthy. In both situations, I have enjoyed happiness and I have endured suffering. I admit that it's a lot more fun to move up the ladder than it is to either fall or be pushed down it. But, at the end of the day, the state of your bank account doesn't remotely dictate your quality of life – you do.
"Do not be afraid, my son, because we have become poor.
You have great wealth if you fear God and
flee from every sin and do what is good in the sight of the Lord your God." Tobit 4:21

On my way out of my UVB treatment the other day, my doctor handed me a pamphlet about Taclonex and suggested that I read it over and consider trying it. It is a mixture (ointmen form) of calcipotriene 0.005% and betamethasone dipropionate 0.64%. It is applied once daily - which would be convenient for me.
There are some warnings about side effects but I'm finding that with just about any medication. They do have a website when you search Google for Taclonex that I'm still reading through.
According to the pamphlet that she gave me, it has been available in other parts of the world for a while but has only just recently been approved for use in the USA. Has anyone tried this and how did it go?

If you're like most people, your first instinct when a spill hits your carpet is to go running for the stain remover we picked up at the store, and soak the heck out of that stain before it can set, right? WRONG! There are hidden dangers of do it yourself stain removal, and some are pretty scary. What can happen? Anything from destroying your carpet, to serious health problems.
Store bought stain removal products can be very harsh, even supposedly "Green" products. The harshness of these products can fade your carpet, or even disintegrate it. Whether you spent $3 or $50 on the product, your carpet may never look the same again. Higher price does not indicate a better product. Additionally, sometimes self treating a stain incorrectly can make it impossible for even a professional to remove.
Some store bought spot cleaners are also highly toxic- which can be a danger to your family. Yes, professional cleaners may also use chemicals, but they are able to thoroughly remove them, leaving no residue in the carpet. Also, most professional cleaners actually have much safer products than what's on the shelves at the supermarket. When self cleaning, you simply cannot remove it all. Some of these cleaners may emit toxic fumes on their own, and some when mixed with other products or acids. Inhalation of these fumes could cause potential health issues. Professional cleaners know what can, and cannot, be mixed, and are able to thoroughly rinse the agents from your carpet. This leaves your carpet both clean, and safe for the kiddos and pets.
What to do? Some carpet cleaners carry safe, non toxic spotting solutions that are perfect for home use. Al's Carpet Cleaning and Restoration carries an exclusive spotting agent for the home, that is both safe and effective. Blot up as much of the spill as possible with a clean towel, saturate with spotter, and blot until you are unable to remove any more moisture. Continue until you no longer see soil transfer to the towel. If you do not have access to such a product, we would recommend calling a professional to remove the stain. When you have Al's Carpet Cleaning and Restoration clean your carpets, you will receive a free bottle of our exclusive spotter. If you aren't a customer, you can still purchase our spotter for $7 .95 per 16oz bottle.

Me eyeing a bottle of Aquadeco while wearing my Flower#19 Pendant inspired by the Art Deco building at 19 East 88th Street. The photo is backwards because I took it on my webcam/Apple Photobooth.
Apparently, this is not new to the world but I just discovered it this evening at the Duane Reade on 89th Street and Madison Avenue.
Aquadeco – a bottled spring water company that first designed a bottle and then set about finding a water source, according to their website.
I did a bit of googling and came across some blog mentions including a T Magazine post by Steven Heller where he compares the Aquadeco bottle unfavorably against other designy bottles by Voss, Fred and Fiji. Heller calls the Aquadeco bottle design "less Chanel than Woolworths", resembling a "novelty perfume."
I do not disagree with the "novelty perfume" aspect of the Aquadeco bottle and the Chanel/Woolworths comment is super on point. It is a cliched representation of Art Deco but… I like it!
Is it counter-progressive that I find the ernest "design" of the Voss and Fred bottles pretentious? I am a big fan of art deco but also of whimsy and some kitsch. In fact, I have to admit, last week at the Food Emporium on 87th and Madison Avenue they had a special discount on Voss water, only 99 cents for that big bottle and I was too embarrassed to buy it! Not to buy it since the cashiers knew it was on sale, but to be seen drinking it. (Now that I've admitted it I guess I'll make myself buy it if it is on sale again.)
Anyway, if I saw someone drinking an Aquadeco water I'd say, "Neat! Your water bottle is Art Deco! And the company is named Aquadeco! Neato!"
There were many comments below Steven Heller's blog post arguing against the pointless waste of this fetishistic design and that new designs should be sustainable.
Ok, I know they're right! But, having been an eager scholar of the subject of Decadence in both high school and college, I can't help but find this kind of vanity project endearing.
The founder of Aquadeco, Arnold Gumowitz is a real estate developer and art collector and Aquadeco seems to be a platform for sponsoring or being involved with celebrity events and Art Deco related events. It does taste good, too (I just tried it). This plastic bottle was $1.99 tonight and no more expensive than similarly sized bottles. I read that Aquadeco also make a $12 glass bottle with an optional light to place beneath. Not on my shopping list this week but maybe someday. I suppose if you could remove the logo and keep the glass bottle as a vase it would be a little more environmentally friendly.
Also, here are three pics from the Aquadeco facebook page.

Embedding Audio Players from Third Party Host
Hosting audio files on a third party host is a great way to increase social media presence, as well as a solution for hosting large audio files (over 20MB) that will not upload to your website. Embeding audio players used the same steps as embedding videos hosted on third party hosts like Youtube and Vimeo.
1) Go to the third party host where you have created an account and uploaded your audio files, such as SoundCloud. Select Share for the Audio file player you would like to embed. You can embed single and multi-track audio players.
2) Select the Embed option.
3) Select if you want the large version of the player or the small version. For this purpose, we are selecting the small.
4) You can either copy and paste the iframe code as it is in the code field, or select More options, for editing options of the audio player appearance, changing the color of the play button and enable automatic play. We strongly suggest DO NOT select the automatic play, especially if you are embedding more than one player on a page.
5) Copy the embed code in the Code and Preview field.
6) Login to your website and open the content to edit where you want to place the embed code. Add any text you want to use to introduce the audio player. Then Change the Text Format from Full HTML/Complete to Plain HTML
7) Find the text you used to introduce the audio, and paste the iframe code underneath it on its own line.
8) Change the Text format back to Full HTML/Complete and Save your changes. You should now see the embedded player in your content.

Both children and adults will love this fun washi tape charm necklace – you won't believe it's made with a gift tag! This is such an easy jewelry project.
There are very few things to which I haven't applied washi tape. Except maybe the dog. I haven't washi-ed her yet. I've put washi tape on a bicycle helmet. I've wrapped a diaper pail in nursery-matching washi tape colors.
Now, I'm creating washi tape jewelry! Today's Washi Tape Charm Necklace isn't made to last forever, but the awesome thing about them is that that they are inexpensive and easy enough to make to match multiple outfits.
The total cost of this necklace is one dollar or less!
DIY Washi Tape Necklace
- Leather lace cording in 1/8 mm, found at art and craft stores
- Thick card stock blank gift tag
- Washi tape
- Scissors
- Craft knife
- Self-healing mat or thick surface for cutting (pick a surface that you do not want to scratch with the craft knife)
Place the blank gift tag on the self-healing mat. Apply washi tape to the tag, allowing extra to go off the tag so that it adheres the the mat.
Using the craft knife, carefully cut around the tag, removing the excess washi tape. This is by far the most tedious part. Keep a steady hand and concentrate! Do the same with the washi tape that is covering the hole within the tag.
Pause and clean up any rough edges that may be on the charm.
Cut a length of the leather. I cut about 24″, but yours may differ. Keep in mind the following when cutting the cord:
- Who is wearing the necklace? An adult or child? A child will need less cord than an adult.
- Do you want to slip the necklace over your head each time or tie it on each time? If you want the necklace to be slip-on, allow for additional cord.
- It's better to cut a little extra that has to be cut off at the end of the project than to not cut enough.
Fold the length of leather in half and thread the ends through the tag from back to front.
Pull the ends over the top of the tag and through the loop in the leather.
Carefully tighten the leather to secure the tag.
Knot the leather at the ends to create a necklace. Be sure to keep the washi tape charm in the center.
