Dow Jones & Company is an American publishing and financial information firm.
The company was founded in 1882 by three reporters: Charles Dow, Edward Jones, and Charles Bergstresser. Like The New York Times and the Washington Post, the company was in recent years publicly traded but privately controlled. The company was led by the Bancroft family, which effectively controlled 64% of all voting stock, before being acquired by News Corporation.
The company became a subsidiary of News Corporation after an extended takeover bid during 2007.[2] It was reported on August 1, 2007 that the bid had been successful[3][4] after an extended period of uncertainty about shareholder agreement.[5] The transaction was completed on December 13, 2007. It was worth US$5 billion or $60 a share, giving NewsCorp control of The Wall Street Journal and ending the Bancroft family's 105 years of ownership.[6]
In 2010, the company sold 90% of Dow Jones Indexes to the CME Group, including the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
Consumer media[edit]
Its flagship publication, The Wall Street Journal, is a daily newspaper in print and online covering business, financial national and international news and issues around the globe. It began publishing on July 8, 1889. Other editions of the Journal include:

- The Wall Street Journal Europe covering news and business in Europe and around the world;
- The Wall Street Journal India
- The Wall Street Journal Chinese
- The Wall Street Journal Korean
- The Wall Street Journal Portuguese
- [3]

Other consumer-oriented publications of Dow Jones include Barron's Magazine, a weekly overview of the world economy and markets; MarketWatch.com, the online financial news site; and the consumer magazine SmartMoney which was jointly owned with Hearst Corporation until they sold their stakes to Dow Jones in March 2010. "Financial News", news on investment banking, securities, and asset management. "BigCharts", provided by "[4]", stock charts, screeners, interactive charting, and research tools. "Professor Journal", a "Journal" in education program for professors to integrate into curriculum. "AllThingsD", offering news on technology.
The monthly journal Far Eastern Economic Review closed in September 2009.

Dow Jones also launched WSJ Live an interactive video website that provides live and on demand videos from The Wall Street Journal Video Network. Programs include "News Hub", "MoneyBeat", and "Lunch Break" among others.
Dow Jones sold a 90% stake in its Index business for $607.5M to Chicago-based CME Group, which owns the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, in February 2010.[7] A few of the most widely used include:
- Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA, "Dow 30", or often simply "The Dow")
- Dow Jones Transportation Average
- Dow Jones Utility Average
- Dow Jones Composite Average
- The Global Dow
- Dow Jones Global Titans 50 Index
- Dow Jones Total Stock Market Index
- Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes

The company's foundation was laid by Charles Dow, Edward Jones and Charles Bergstresser who, over two decades, conceived and promoted the three products which define Dow Jones and financial journalism: The Wall Street Journal, Dow Jones Newswires and the Dow Jones Industrial Average.[8]
Dow Jones was acquired in 1902 by the leading financial journalist of the day, Clarence Barron.[8]
In 2007 Dow Jones was acquired by News Corp., a leading global media company.[8]
The Bancroft family and heirs of Clarence W. Barron effectively controlled the company's class B shares, each with a voting power of ten regular shares, prior to its sale to News Corp. At one time, they controlled 64% of Dow Jones voting stock.[9]
Buyout offer[edit]
On May 1, 2007, Dow Jones released a statement confirming that News Corporation, led by Rupert Murdoch, had made an unsolicited offer of $60 per share, or $5 billion, for Dow Jones.[10] Stock was briefly halted for pending press release. The halt lasted under 10 minutes while CNBC was receiving data. It has been suggested that the buyout offer is related to Murdoch's new cable business news channel Fox Business that launched in 2007. The Dow Jones brand brings instant credibility to the project.[11]
On June 6, 2007, CEO Brian Tierney of Philadelphia Media Holdings L.L.C., owning company of The Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia Daily News, and Philly.com, went public in an article on Philly.com expressing interest in "joining with outside partners to buy Dow Jones." Tierney said, "We would participate as Philadelphia Media Holdings, along with other investors. We wouldn't do it alone."[12][dead link]
In June, MySpace founder Brad Greenspan put forth a bid to buy 25% of the Dow for $60 a share, the same price per share as News Corporation's bid. Greenspan's offer was for $1.25 billion for 25% of the company.[13]
On July 17, 2007, The Wall Street Journal, a unit of Dow Jones, reported that the company and News Corporation had agreed in principle on a US$5 billion takeover, that the offer would be put to the full Dow Jones board on the same evening in New York, and that the offer valued the company at 70% more than the company's market value.[14]
"Our strategy centers around leaving the print publications of Dow Jones intact to continue serving as the gold standard of financial reporting, and creating additional earnings streams through digital media initiatives that can produce a stock price above 100 dollars a share,
For too long, Dow Jones has limited its focus to the world of print media and allowed other, less established entities to generate millions of dollars in profits by developing financial reporting franchises on the Internet and cable television.
The time has come for Dow Jones to break out of its slumber and extend its dominance into the lucrative arena of digital media."—Channel News Asia Business Section—[15]
Insider trading scandal[edit]
Upon investigating suspicious share price movements in the run-up to the announcement, the SEC alleged that board member Sir David Li, one of Hong Kong's most prominent businessmen, had informed his close friend and business associate Michael Leung of the impending offer. Leung had acted on this information by telling his daughter and son-in-law, who reaped a US$8.2 million profit from the transaction.[16]
Corporate governance[edit]
Prior to its sale to News Corp, the last members of the board of directors of the company were: Christopher Bancroft, Lewis B. Campbell, Michael Elefante, John Engler, Harvey Golub, Leslie Hill, Irvine Hockaday, Peter Kann, David Li, M. Peter McPherson (Chairman), Frank Newman, James Ottaway, Elizabeth Steele, and William Steere.

Look out, Carol Burnett! Cameron Diaz is piling on the sass to portray the famously hardhearted Miss Hannigan in the movie remake of Annie.
The actress, 41, Tweeted a photo of herself in costume – big hoop earrings, a heap of thick chain necklaces (one of them spells out "HBomb"), dark makeup and even darker roots.
"I want you to meet someone," Diaz writes in the caption. "Her name is Ms. Hannigan. She ain't nice and she ain't pretty. #Annie"

The new Annie officially has her nemesis.
Cameron Diaz has signed up to play the cruel orphanage headmistress Miss Hannigan in the upcoming film remake of the musical Annie, Deadline.com reports – the character memorably portrayed by Carol Burnett in the 1982 film.
Diaz will play opposite Quvenzhané Wallis, the 9-year-old Oscar nominee who is set for the role of Annie.

Sure there were plenty of professional photographers on hand, but did you know Kelly Preston, Norah Jones and Quvenzhané Wallis snapped personal photos from Oscar night for their favorite charities exclusively for PEOPLE?
Preston, who took pics for the Jett Travolta Foundation and Heroes Health Fund, gives readers an intimate look as she gets ready at home with husband John Travolta and daughter Ella. The three later drove off to the red carpet in their 1962 Rolls Royce.

True to her word, when Quvenzhané Wallis hit the Oscar red carpet on Sunday, she was carrying one her of signature pooch purses.
"This is a special dog," she told Ryan Seacrest on the E! red carpet pre-show. "It's renamed after my puppy I have at home – Sandy."
The brown-and-black purse even sported some special Oscar attire of its own: a blue tulle skirt and a tiara.

Quvenzhané Wallis had a very busy Sunday.
The 9-year-old attended the Academy Awards as the youngest Best Actress nominee in Oscars history. But in case you missed it, she also landed her next big Hollywood role – as the title character in an upcoming remake of the musical Annie.
Asked on the Oscars red carpet if she can sing, Wallis was charmingly coy. "I guess," she replied from the red carpet.
For its part, Sony's Columbia Pictures, which announced the news on Sunday, believes it has its girl for the 2014 film.

Hollywood's biggest night went off without a hitch, but host Seth MacFarlane garnered mixed reactions from viewers.
From an opening monologue that touched on race to a musical number with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Daniel Radcliffe, MacFarlane's stint as Oscar host delighted some and infuriated others.
Here's what you had to say about MacFarlane's performance at the 85th Annual Academy Awards on Sunday:

We'll have wait and see who Best Actress nominee Quvenzhane Wallis will thank if she wins the Oscar on Sunday, but it's clear that she's grateful for one key person on her team: her babysitter.
"I would like to thank everyone who helped me play this part, and everyone who was there for me, and my babysitter who was on set," Wallis, 9, said as she accepted her Breakthrough Performance award at Thursday's Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards Luncheon at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
Toting her signature puppy purse, Wallis wasn't sure if the accessory would also make an appearance on the red carpet at the Oscars.

Before the Oscars honor the best in film on Sunday, ESSENCE is celebrating the achievements of Black women in film and television.
Beginning at 2:30 Thursday, the magazine will hold its sixth annual Black Women in Hollywood Awards Luncheon at the Beverly Hills Hotel, where six exemplary women in Hollywood will be honored, and you can watch the action live here.
This year's honorees are Oprah Winfrey, Alfre Woodard, Gabrielle Union, Mara Brock Akil, Naomie Harris and Quvenzhané Wallis.

With Feb. 24's 2013 Academy Awards drawing closer, there's no better time to whet your appetite for all things movies – literally.
Embrace your inner film buff one bite at a time starting with one of this year's Best Picture nominees: Beasts of the Southern Wild. You'll take a trip to the bayous of Louisiana courtesy of Brooklyn's Nitehawk Cinema, which is serving up Oscar contender-inspired dishes to moviegoers in celebration of the film industry's biggest night.
Pair your po' boy and hush puppies with an adults-only beverage. (Yup, that means the movie's 9-year-old star (and youngest Best Actress nominee ever), Quvenzhané Wallis, couldn't quite indulge in this gin-based treat.)

It's more puppy love for Quvenzhané Wallis!
The 9-year-old star of Beasts of the Southern Wild hit the red carpet at Monday's Oscar nominees luncheon in Beverly Hills with another one of her pet purses on hand.
"That's my signature," she told Ellen DeGeneres during a January visit to her talk show, where Wallis admitted owning close to 20 of the doggy accessory, designed by Poochie & Co.

I don't mind a higher tax rate if the money improves the health, safety and welfare of our citizens. However, I have no reason to believe that is the case.
$800,000 annually to prop up the chamber, $8,000,000 for Natura, $24,000,000 spent in 24 months and we still rank last in everything. I know those are sales tax projects and not general fund, but it is indicative of the Council's financial judgment.
Is the answer really to give them more money?
I am not an Ingle supporter, but at least he has a general strategy and is willing to state how he feels. Instead the Mayor gives us a vague "let us know what you think" cop out. Mr. Mayor, what do YOU think we should do?
1. What is the long term solution to our water issues?
2. How do get control of our sales tax money?
3. Is "Pay for Potential" the policy of the City Council? Thank you Jim Dockery.
4. Are we gaining ground or losing ground as a community?
A town that has not had significant population growth in 40 years cannot adequately supply water services to its residents. Really? We don't need committees and task forces to address our problems. We need our elected officials take charge and to be leaders.

As they say, "two wrongs don't make a right."
If the Democrat pundit who claimed Ann Romney "never worked a day in her life": if she had only added three words to her indictment–"outside the home"–there would have been less negative reaction on the part of her ostensibly Republican "enemies," or for that matter, even many of her fellow-Democrats.
Since anyone who has ever done much "homemaking"–including child care–knows how demanding it can be. Even someone who has done as little as I.
What is even more suspect, however, is Mrs. Romney's "I chose to be a homemaker" response. Indeed, the "other wrong that doesn't make a right."
Since, frankly, in the economic climate of these days, here in America, most women who work outside the home–unlike Ann Romney–they hardly have a "choice" in the matter. At least if they and their families want to live, at best, anywhere close to a minimally middle-class lifestyle.
And in many cases, even two spouses working outside the home still doesn't get them, economically, into the so-called "middle class."
Unlike Mrs. Romney–when it comes to one of life's more important "choices"–too many women have apparently merely married the wrong husband. And not just the ones who married bums. There are, in fact, lots of dutiful, responsible, economically productive husbands/fathers in America today who still need the economic contribution of their wives in order for their families to thrive, if not merely survive.
Or conversely, just as many capable, reliable and successful wives/mothers in their other-than-homemaking-careers who need their husbands' outside-the-home economic contribution for similar reasons.
Unfortunately, and painfully so, there are many families in America today–who would seem to be thriving–who are nonetheless just one serious illness or injury, or a closing of the company where the family's breadwinner/s work (on the part, for example, of a gargantuan private equity firm such as Bain Capital) to find themselves on food stamps.
Ann Romney's "I chose to be a homemaker" declaration is, sadly, not unlike her husband's tragically mistaken "I don't worry about the poorest among us, they have a safety net" assessment of the debilitating economic circumstances of too many in America today.
In this past Sunday's "society page" of Charleston's Post and Courier, there are eight different wedding, engagement and anniversary announcements published. Of the eight different women noted, six are described as being at least college educated, and the employment of five is described. In fact, on any given Sunday this same pattern of formally educated wives who work outside the home is the norm, rather than the exception.
It's true, many wives/mothers have, these days, "chosen" to work outside the home for other than merely economic reasons–an expression of their gifts, talents and training (with at least 60% of American college students today being female), an enhancement of their sense of self-worth besides their incalculable value within and on behalf of their families. Indeed, women who have "chosen" to engage the demanding tension inherent, certainly where children are included, when one works both in and out of the home.
Just as there are women/mothers who have made a "decision" to not work outside the home, often in the face of their and their family's diminished economic circumstances, in order to prioritize and enhance, as they have determined, certain other family values.
I have one daughter and one daughter-in-law, two step-daughters and one step-daughter-in-law. All are highly educated professional women, four of whom are also mothers. Three of the five work, for economic reasons, outside the home. Except, I suspect, were their family's economic circumstances not a factor, they would still likely work outside the home in order to fulfill their sense of vocation in a way complementary to that of being a wife/mother.
One, who is not currently working outside the home, previously held executive positions in two different industries. She has two young children, one of whom is an infant she recently gave birth to. Fortunately, her husband is economically successful enough for her not to have to work outside their home, 'though I suspect she will eventually return to the outside-the-home workforce.
The other taught school for many years before her husband became economically successful enough for her to not have to work outside the home. Such that today, besides her supportive role in relation to her husband and children, she devotes considerable time and talent to various important community organizations and activities, especially involving her expertise, public education.
And what is particularly impressive is how domestically sensitive, capable and attentive each of the husbands of these five women are–guys who are, themselves, good "homemakers."
My wife works, of economic necessity, outside our home. Unfortunately for her–at least for economic, if not other reasons–she married me. As a minister, teacher and pastoral counselor, I've been anything but economically successful, at least when it comes to providing a livelihood in a manner to which my wife would like to become accustomed. For now, however, she works–and believe me, she works!–both in and out of our home.
And while there are, today, no children in our home–only grandchildren, unfortunately, not frequently enough–once upon a time, my wife had a cross-stitch which read: "If a mother's place is in the home, why am I always in the car?"
As for Ann Romney's "homemaker choice," I once taught a woman graduate student, a young widow, a mother of two small children, who held three different jobs outside the home in order for her and her children to survive economically. One of her jobs was that of a nanny, taking care of other women's children. Or as she expressed, "I feel guilty that I don't get to spend enough time with my own children."
She told me how surprised most of us would likely be to observe what she has commonly witnessed in her nanny role. It is not the situation of women/mothers who, of economic necessity, have been forced to work outside the home; it involves, instead, quite different circumstances: women who live in such affluence that they can hire others to do various demanding homemaking chores, including child care, thereby freeing themselves to shop, play bridge, tennis or golf, go to lunch with their girlfriends, host elegant parties, or plan romantic cruises or skiing trips. Not to mention, keeping themselves readily able and available to "meet their husbands' needs"–if you get my drift.
Is that the sort of "homemaker choice" Mrs. Romney has been economically fortunate enough to have made?
Granted, Mrs. Romney has faced two serious illnesses in her adult life, circumstances which certainly necessitate extra "help" in caring for her children and tending to other important family matters. And I can't imagine any reasonable person would begrudge her fortunate economic situation when facing such personal and family crises.

Sometimes, people ask me "What do you do for living?" I usually answer "I do PHP scripting on call". In most of the social networks that I'm registered in, I add "time saver" as the tag line, where other people write "CEO of XY-company". But that's what describes best what I do when people approach me with a technical problem. After the job is done, most of them tell me that I saved them a lot of time solving their problem.
To do things like that for living, I need larger projects, usually worth several thousand dollars over a time frame of several month. I get these by being recommended by other customers. This business is not a steady one, so I may earn $10.000 one month and only $200 the next one. When I'm not working on a large project, I have more free time. That means I can do some research on new technologies or learn some new programming language or software program. It can also mean that I get bored. Without a concrete projects, it's hard to focus on something.
That's why I did so much research on virtual working platform during the last weeks. It helps to fight boredom if you can get a concrete project. And as a nice side effect, you'll get paid too, even if the payment is not as high as for my regular projects. So I developed a habit over these last weeks to apply for some virtual projects. I choose only those tasks where I see a chance to learn something new or where I can improve my existing skills.
After a while, I've got bored with WordPress themes, so I applied to create Facebook fan pages. Facebook can use a special markup language known as "fbml". It's an extension to HTML and it's used to create your own design for a facebook page. I did some experiments with this before, but since I worked on two customer projects, I have now some deeper knowledge on how all this works. I learned about some of the workarounds that are needed to implement a required design. The first one was one simple page with just an image and a hyperlink. The second one did include a contact form, which was not as trivial as it seems to be.
For all who are interested in having WordPress themes or Facebook fanpages created, I currently do them for a fixed price in the range of $60 to $90 per layout. All I need is an image, preferably JPG or PNG, and an original PSD or Gimp file. This offer is valid only as long as I'm bored and don't have regular projects to do.

Ok, this is not a serious post, it's just a short test for my upcoming SEO workshop on WizIQ. Anyway, I need to announce that a new species has been found. It's named the "oxabeaver" and it can be found in north America. The oxabeaver has been seen only once in a valley near a small town in Wisconsin called "Gimp Valley".
The oxabeaver is extremely shy, about 4 feet long and a very good swimmer.

Ok, I have to admit: I just got an account for SecondLife a few days ago. As web-developer and web-tutor, I have to know about this technology (it's always good to have an excuse for playing on the computer).
The Question is: what can you do in SecondLife? Is it just another computer game? No, it is not. It's a virtual world. For Star-Trek fans it's a technology that comes very close to the "Holo-Deck" of Starship Enterprise (the Next Generation, not Kirk's Enterprise).

The Daviess County SWCD hosted its 17th annual Fourth Grade Farm Fair on September 20, 2013 at the 4H fairgrounds in Washington. During this annual field day, 354 students guided by 42 teachers and parents rotated through 16 different learning stations staffed by local and area experts. Students learned about crops and livestock grown and raised locally, as well as other topics ranging from bees to wildlife. Some of the stations featured livestock, and for many students, this was their first opportunity to see these animals up close. Those attending the Farm Fair also enjoyed a special demonstration on dog obedience and agility, given by Andrea Bauer of A-1 K-9, and Kensay Mott, 4H dog club leader. The enthusiastic audience applauded the skills of Piper, a Yorkshire Terrier, Roper, an Australian Shepard and former Indiana State Fair Agility Champion, and Daphne, a Rottweiler. Many thanks to all of the hard working volunteers who made the Farm Fair possible! The SWCD would also like to thank the following for their support of the Farm Fair: Purdue Extension, Farm Bureau, Prairie Farms, Hoefling Truck and Tractor, Washington Parks & Recreation Department, NRCS, FSA, ISDA, the City of Washington, and the Washington High School Athletic Department.

Non-steady state partitioning of dry cleaning surfactants between tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and water in porous media. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 17303284 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Trapped organic solvents, in both the vadose zone and below the water table, are frequent sources of environmental contamination. A common source of organic solvent contamination is spills, leaks, and improper solvent disposal associated with dry cleaning processes. Dry cleaning solvents, such as tetrachloroethylene (PCE), are typically enhanced with the addition of surfactants to improve cleaning performance. The objective of this work was to examine the partitioning behavior of surfactants from PCE in contact with water. The relative rates of surfactants partitioning and PCE dissolution are important for modeling the behavior of waste PCE in the subsurface, in that they influence the interfacial tension of the PCE, and how (or if) interfacial tension changes over time in the subsurface. The work described here uses a flow-through system to examine simultaneous partitioning and PCE dissolution in a porous medium. Results indicate that both nonylphenol ethoxylate nonionic surfactants and a sulfosuccinate anionic surfactant partition out of residual PCE much more rapidly than the PCE dissolves, suggesting that in many cases interfacial tension changes caused by partitioning may influence infiltration and distribution of PCE in the subsurface. Non-steady-state partitioning is found to be well-described by a linear driving force model incorporating measured surfactant partition coefficients. |

Standard Who
By a customer from Stirling, Scotland , 14 Jun 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
Robot, the story which saw Tom Baker begin his seven long years as the Doctor, is unfortunately quite an average affair. This is not to say it's bad, but it's not that good either...
Made by the outgoing production team before the show was given something of a re-birth by incoming producer Philip Hinchcliffe and script editor Robert Holmes, this still feels very much like a Jon Pertwee story- even more so as UNIT are on hand to help the Doctor throughout. Thus the inclusion of Tom Baker in the mix gives the whole thing a rather strange feel. Tom has yet to find his feet in the role, and it is interesting watching his performance here because much of it feels very forced in comparison to what comes later. This really is bog-standard Dr Who, complete with ropey effects and questionable acting. However, bearing in mind this story was made in 1974, and not being silly enough to compare it to anything produced today, it is perfectly enjoyable enough.
But it is decidely average (fact: most Dr Who was, and only a handful of stories in a 26 year period stand out as all-time classics), and not even us die hard Dr Who fans rate it as particularly good. This is not Genesis of the Daleks or The Caves of Androzani by any means. As such, I can't see this title on DVD appealing to anybody but those with more than a passing interest.
Which is something of a shame as the story itself has been lovingly remastered for this DVD release, and all four epiodes have fascinating production subtitles as well as auido commentaries. There is also a nice documentray on the making of the story under the extras section.
I hope I'm proved wrong, but I really can't see the kids of today watching this and getting hooked.- Was this review helpful to you?

(12)Dr. Who - Robot - My Review
By DaddyTank (228 reviews) from Ulan Bator , 09 Nov 2011I dont understand why everyone's so down on this episode. Its brilliant from start to finish. The robot's ludicrous, the fight scenes are awful and the special effects are amazing(ly bad). Everything as it should be then. There are a couple of mopments in this that made me cry with laughter....witness the arrival of the tank and the spectacle of the robot when he goes massive. The BBC ... no Britain at its finest.- Was this review helpful to you?

Customer Review
By a customer from UK , 23 Jun 2008The one with the Robot. I was too small to remember the program, but had the Robot as a toy up to my early teens. And what a Robot. Fantastic design, impressive, scary, imposing and practical... on BBC children's TV budgets. Did anyone win an award for that?
The acting between the Robot and Elisabeth Sladen... we've seen little better. Just great stuff, mixed with the Nazi scientists and the whole King Kong thing makes this a wonderful story.
It does have its problem The first episode falls into silly Douglas Adams type stupidness... the skipping? Whose idea was that? And the costume changing?
Also the Robot when it grows is not convincing, and the rag doll Sarah and toy tank are terrible.
But it was all about Tom. And indeed Tom was great, dramatic, odd and funny. This was to most (Myself included) a golden age of Who. Indeed in this fans humble opinion, only David Tennant can touch Tom Baker.- Was this review helpful to you?

average but stil worth a watch
By buzty25 (6 reviews) from Wrexham , 19 Jun 2008This is Tom Baker, in my opinion th best doctor, in his first story. Not a classic story line and the robot isnt as sinister and as exciting as th daleks or cybermen for example. It isnt one tht wil stand out but stil gud fun n wel worth a watch.- Was this review helpful to you?

International Nestle Free week is October 29 – November 4, 2012.
The boycott is an attempt to put pressure on Nestle executives from ceasing their marketing strategies of infant formula by using strategies that violate international standards, failing to act to end child slavery, failing to source sustainable palm oil and thus destroying the Indonesian rainforest, refusing to recognize court rulings in the Philippines over worker rights, and neglecting to include warnings and labels that meet the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines regarding safe handling of the infant formula they market globally in already challenged countries (source). Their "Fairtrade" guise only serves to mock the urgency and importance of the dangers to life and livelihood they inflict.
In these and more ways, Nestle is putting infants at risk of sickness and death, on a global scale.
Here is a list of brands marketed through Nestle.

Yesterday I shared with you a free admin template PSD. Today I bring for you another dashboard template freebie.
This is a Windows-style dashboard template, which can be used for iPhone, Android, and of course, Windows Phone app development. I find Windows-style apps very beautiful and interactive, and I would love to share this Windows-style dashboard template psd file that I have created.
Maybe you're not an avid Windows fan, but I think we can learn a lot from the way Windows phone apps are designed.
Happy designing!

I'm sure most of you have seen this article http://sea.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/195635/Climbing_the_Ladder_How_to_Earn_a_League_Promotion_-11_17_2011#blog about league promotions. For my situation, I want to be promoted from Silver to Gold, and the page says I need 740 points. I'm currently on 603 points, and the season ends in a week. I totalled up my wins and losses and found I've won 25 of the last 35 games I've played, which is surely a high enough win ratio for a promotion. My question is, do I need to play a whole lot more games to get to 740 points to be sure of a promotion, or can I be confident of it as I stand now?
The system won't promote you until next week if necessary, but if you are doing particularly well against players in the league above you, you may be reclassified into that league.
So, by the looks of things, assuming those players were considered of a higher skill level earlier on, you could be promoted next season. No signature. |
