Bat-Eared Fox Kits Are Adorable
And by kits we obviously mean baby foxes, not some kit you'd buy through an infomercial.
"But wait! There's more! Order now and we'll send you TWO bat-eared fox kits for the price of one! Separate shipping and handling prices apply. (Some assembly required. Squee not included.)
5 Bat-eared Fox kits were born to mother Singer & father Biko at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park on May 10th. The kits are currently on exhibit exhibit with the park's Warthogs in the Heart of Africa area. The Bat-eared fox is a small African fox known for its enormous ears, which are over 5 inches (13 centimeters) long. The ears are full of blood vessels that shed heat and help keep the fox cool; they also give the animal a very good sense of hearing.

Foreign languages and standardization
Contact: Sonja Miesner (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Standards are increasingly prepared in European and international working groups. The working language is usually English. The initial drafts also appear in English in the first instance.
Translations are therefore an essential tool for KAN's work in order to
- Make foreign-language documents accessible to the German occupational health and safety community
- Exert an influence on international discussions
- Improve the exchange of information in Europe
KAN takes the predominantly European orientation of its work into account through its multi-lingual publications. Like the KAN homepage, the quarterly KANBrief also appears in several languages. The KAN Reports contain a summary in English and French or are translated completely into English.
We would welcome an exchange of information on terminological matters with other interested parties and institutions. Several articles on the subject of foreign languages and standardization have been published in the KANBrief:
- KANBrief 1/02: "Learning by doing" and other methods for increasing foreign-language proficiency
- KANBrief 3/00: Proper use of risk terminology
- KANBrief 4/99: Draft standards only in one language?
- KANBrief 1/99: 'Shall', 'should' or 'must' - modal auxiliary verbs in standards

Thanks for your interest, Sergbach.
I have the same configs that you (internal IR receiver and Windows 7 Ultimate x64).
I have already installed the Zotac's driver and all the buttons of remote response in ShowKey except: Info button, colour buttons, teletext and guide buttons.
I think that the problem is in configuration of XBMC because in Windows Media Center all buttons work fine but on XBMC the Info button and colour buttons don't work.
If I want that Red button shows me the context menu, do I have to configure it with Ctrl-d? (See the image):

You are welcome, damos.
Strange that the same configuration does not work as mine. Before you go to assign commands to the buttons you need to get your RC "special" buttons generate keyboard outputs. "Info" button should provide Ctrl-D, coloured ones Ctrl-Alt-1,2,3,4. Important that after you change the registry you have to reboot to activate changes. First I would suggest you to use CreateTestConfig.reg file to change the 745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57df key (don't forget to modify the key in the original reg file from add-on). After reboot, please use ShowKey tool to check that RC generates the output for all buttons. If it does, you can use my reg file. It will assign Ctrl-D for Info, and Ctrl-Alt-1,2,3,4 for coloured buttons . In the XBMC the Ctrl-D combination will show the Info (you can check it just with the keyboard). Ctrl-Alt-1,2,3,4 keys do nothing, but if you install MCERemote add-on then these combinations will show a small notification dialog at the bottom of the screen. This behaviour is configured in keyboard.xml. If you want to assign other actions to these combinations you need to edit keyboard.xml. The KeyMapEdit tool (starts when you click Edit keyboard.xml in add-on) helps a lot here. The tool will show you the content of the keyboard.xml. You need to click on the line with the key combination (for example "ctrl-alt-one"), go to keymap->edit menu and select an action from the dropdown (for example contextmenu). After save and restart of the XBMC the Red button will be assigned to the Context menu. What you did (in the picture) you just assigned other key combination to the red button. It makes here no sense (at least for my config) because it changes ReportMappingTable in the 745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57da registry key and I need it in ...df So, once more, you need to get the response from your RC in ShowKey tool for all special buttons before you go further.

I refer to MCERemote add-on.
The CreateTestConfig.reg is targetted by this add-on and you need to modify the registry key in that file. |

Ok, now I get the response from my RC in ShowKey tool for all buttons, but I obtain these results:
Info button: -------------- Key ID: 88 (0x58) - VK_X <x mod="ctrl, alt> Notification (key,x,3)</x> Red button: -------------- Key ID: 66 (0x42) - VK_B <b mod="ctrl, shift> Notification (key,b,3)</b> Green button: -------------- Key ID: 67 (0x43) - VK_C <c mod="ctrl, shift> Notification (key,c,3)</c> Yellow button: -------------- Key ID: 68 (0x44) - VK_D <d mod="ctrl, shift> Notification (key,d,3)</d> Blue button: -------------- Key ID: 69 (0x45) - VK_E <e mod="ctrl, shift> Notification (key,e,3)</e> Edit: Ok, I see how it works. I continue with next steps.

I, too, am a new owner of an AD10 and I'm new at configuring this stuff.
I am unable to get any RC-response from the color keys / info. I have modified CreateTestConfig.reg, substituting 745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57da for 745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57df, applied it and rebooted. I don't understand why ShowKey20 still can't get any signal from those special keys. Please help..

Look no further from the first horse you come across at the top of the page.
Should get an ideal trip in the cat bird's seat from right off the pace; likes this course; has been working great; hot trainer doing everything right; Shamrocks on jock's silks; never lost before, etc, etc, etc.
Two problems: No way in heck you'll get his Ml of 15-1, but anything over 7-1 constitutes a $1 show wager for Vince P and a straight .10 Super with 3 tbd horses.
Problem #2: I still cannot pronounce his name.
Good Luck.

Another death in Michigan linked to tainted steriod injections
Michigan health officials have confirmed an 11th death in the state linked to tainted steroid injections.
The steroid injections were intended to relieve back pain. But the steroids were contaminated.
Angela Minicuci is with the Department of Community Health.
She says the 87 year old Washtenaw County woman who died December 30th was being treated for an epidural abscess.
Minicuci says abscesses have been the most diagnosed ailment related to the tainted steroid investigation.
"And if those are not treated soon enough they can be fatal. And this is the second death associated with an epidural abscess in Michigan," says Minicuci.
More than 200 Michiganders have fallen ill from the tainted steroid injections. Dozens have been treated for fungal meningitis related to the injections.
The Massachusetts pharmacy that produced the tainted steroid injections filed for bankruptcy protection last month.

Eligio Cedeño; a young Venezuelan banker jailed in 2007 for defying Chavez
Escaped High-Profile Chavez Prisoner to Challenge Venezuela in U.N. Debate
By Guest Column UN Watch (Bio and Archives) Wednesday, June 27, 2012 Comments at bottom of page | Print friendly | Subscribe | Email Us |
GENEVA, – Venezuela's most-wanted man will appear before the United Nations this week to expose the Chavez government's poor human rights record, and to oppose its bid for a seat on the world's top human rights body.
Eligio Cedeño, a young Venezuelan banker jailed in 2007 for defying Chavez, was declared a victim of arbitrary detention by an expert working group of the U.N. Human Rights Council. He was released nearly three years later by a courageous judge, Maria Lourdes Afiuni. The same day, Chavez went on live TV to call her a criminal, and threw her in prison.
Cedeño managed to escape the country and found asylum in Miami. An Interpol red notice against him was removed on grounds that Venezuela was engaged in political persecution.
Meanwhile, Judge Afiuni, mistreated in prison, became very sick. Her lawyer is now being targeted, reported the New York Times last week.
UN Watch, the Geneva-based human rights group, is arranging Cedeño's testimony this week before a plenary meeting of the U.N. Human Rights Council, as well as appearances by well-known activists from Syria and North Korea.
"We are honored to provide a platform for such courageous champions of human rights," said international lawyer Hillel Neuer, the director of UN Watch. The group heads an international campaign of 55 MPs and NGOs seeking to defeat the Chavez candidacy for a seat on the 47-nation council.

Our Arctic tale of things unknown begins:
Leaning back forcefully against the supply huts lone entrance, Garcia's breath escaped in raspy huffs as whitish vapor filled the confined space. Glancing about frantically for an upgrade for the short-handled meat-cleaver presently serving as her lone piece of artillery, the chopper pilot and former Marine instead found only toiletries and assorted canned foods. Moaning in frustration, she crouched down with an elbow still tucked tightly to the hut's inner door.
Like a braced arm is gonna keep that thing outta here if it really wants in. About the same odds as a rusty meat cleaver slowing it down once it does decide to make my acquaintance.
The wind whistled like a baying teapot through what few miniscule cracks the hut provided, accompanied by the occasional thump of passing debris. Reaching up with a free hand to pull up the mouth portion of an ice-coated toboggan, Garcia's head dipped until chin met parka collar.
This is not…just…can't be. C-can't be re-real. How the hell…is such a thing even possi-….Shit! Get a grip, get...a...grip…you know what you saw. Now just do what you have to do to survive…adapt…adapt and overcome. Somebody has to…has to...get away…alive to…report this.
Leaning back against the thick metal door with full weight and knees tucked inward, she laid the cleaver next to a snow-caked boot and removed a pair of heavily insulated gloves as the howling Antarctic gusts pounded between tightly tucked shoulder blades.
Why couldn't they just have waited….waited for the feds to get here? Storm was supposed to let up in four or five hours. Jackass eggheads just couldn't…help themselves. Find of the century be damned…there's such a thing as protocol. I heard one of 'em….Sarah, I think…yeah…I heard Sarah tell Marcus more than once not to leave that thing unguarded, much less sink a syringe into it. Just a few more hours and the feds…the men in black could have…might have prevented this…such wholesale slaughter.
A trio of heavy thuds slammed the side of the hut, causing Garcia to collapse into an instinctive shooter's pose towards the source. A wild giggle ensued, the unstable sound of which did little to bolster an already shaken psyche.
Sh-shit…what am I gonna go...flash it my meanest... intimidating stare? Damned thing, whatever it is, butchered the entire staff and stacked 'em at the center of the compound like cordwood. Saw at least three bodies…minus the heads…couldn't even ID…no way to tell….and the blood…r-rivers of the stuff frozen…embedded into the turf like some kind of….maroon-colored s-skating rink.
Reclaiming the earlier position of human barricade, Garcia inhaled deeply before allowing a slow release through pursed, horribly chapped lips, the ensuing vapor trail mimicking a funnel cloud's twisting plume. As the sudden bombardment ended as quickly as it had begun, there was time to reflect on the plethora of assorted horrors discovered in the past half-hour that had led to her involuntary imprisonment. The arrival of the storm with its wall of sleet and surface temps, wind gusts included, of minus seventy-five to one-hundred below, followed by the expected deluge of what was predicted as a foot-plus snowfall over the next several hours. A tiny, isolated research station, halfway through day thirty-six of a scheduled ninety-day project, essentially frozen into place. Soon after, as the staff and crew gathered in the dining hall for lunch, the announcement by Doctor Willard Marcus that testing would commence without delay on the mysterious specimen unearthed from an icy tomb just days earlier. Despite several cocked brows and at least one vocal reservation from Sarah Cain, a noted researcher, Marcus had pushed on full speed ahead with all the smug, maniacal glee of a stereotypical mad scientist. Hours later, awoken from a deep slumber, Garcia had tumbled from a narrow bunk within woefully cramped sleeping quarters to the sound of a piercing shriek. With parka, headgear and gloves re-donned in mere seconds, the quickness and gracefulness of such a drill practiced countless times on pervious military excursions, Garcia noted the empty, unruffled bunk normally occupied by Mack Peterson. A gruff, foulmouthed lout with a perpetually sour disposition, Peterson had been a late replacement as co-pilot of the stations lone assigned chopper. With a deep frown, she recalled his drunken promise a few hours after Marcus' announcement to sneak into the generator room and 'take a beer-foam piss on their prize exhibit'.
Taking off in a mad sprint, Garcia recalled leaping Peterson's untouched bunk clearly enough, but had no memory of landing on the other side, instead waking in total darkness with a bleeding, golf-ball sized knot behind her right ear, having never departed the sleeping quarters.
The hellish tour of the compound soon ensued, wherein a pile of mismatched body parts and stripped torsos once belonging to the station staff was found stacked just outside the research building. Pausing briefly to commandeer the cleaver from an eerily silent kitchen, she'd utilized prepositioned guide-ropes to navigate from building to building through a blinding whiteout. She'd made it as far as the hut when the rope had suddenly gone slack, resulting in an impromptu reverse combat roll and ultimately, an unplanned entry into a powerless, pitch black but nonetheless welcome safe-haven.
Enough's enough already. This isn't the place for hide and seek, especially with the main generator out of commission. Only a matter of time before the drifts trap me inside and I freeze in place. Gotta get to the com room and get the word out pronto. Storms gonna break soon enough…maybe I can light a fire under their asses to put pedal to metal. After all, nothing like the words 'mass murder' to perk up the ears and peak the curiosity. Just suck it up and gut it out….that's all…you've faced tougher. Dig in those boot-heels, take in shorts breaths and keep the chin tucked. Com room should be forty or fifty steps…tops.
One thing for damn sure: If that monster is gonna snag me, it'll sure as hell have to catch me first.
Pulling the door inward with a single, forceful tug, Garcia stepped back as a building drift collapsed inward to essentially bury both boots up the ankle, along with a large circular lump that at initial glance she simply thought to be a tightly rolled snowball. Upon closer inspection, however, following a series of hurricane-force gusts that served to clear away several layers of top coating, the mysterious oval was revealed to be the severed head of one Ronald Thompson, research assistant. Side-stepping past the displaced noggin with its single, opened-eye (resembling fossilized marble) and unhinged jaw (stretched to grisly proportions) with the same care one might take to avoid a live mine, Garcia soon departed the hut and leaned directly into a fresh round of lashing, whipping, bone-chilling gusts.
As the grueling trek commenced, a total of fifty-six steps that was akin to climbing a mountain of quicksand inside a wind tunnel, Garcia was shocked to see a bright beacon of light blaring forth from the com room's open door. Stumbling inside and falling onto on hours, a vicious kick backward with a well-aimed boot-heel secured the door, which had been flapping wildly back and forth from the battering winds. Gasping aloud at every throat and chest numbing inhale, Garcia crawled painstakingly forward, eventually able to reach up with a badly shaking hand to grasp the edge of a table and pull upward. Peeling the frosty-coated toboggan bottom up and over until it rested over her brows, Garcia then reached up to wipe ice shards from both eyes before peering over to the controllers chair.
There, propped upright and with its back turned, calmly sat the monster.
Falling back with a silent scream, Garcia pulled the cleaver from the parka's front left pocket and began swinging it wildly from side to side, the rusty blade slicing cleanly through a thick cloud of vapor pouring from its wheezing, horrified possessor. Garcia saw the monster shift, as if only then acknowledging an outside presence. Skidding about on an ice-slickened heel, she darted through the nearest open door, that being the adjoining lavatory. It was there, haplessly trapped and staring directly into a partially fogged mirror, that chopper pilot and former U.S. Marine Jeanne Garcia saw the monster peering hungrily over her left shoulder. Her vocal cards fully recharged, she let loose with a full-blown rebel yell while whirling around in a graceful blur, the sharp-edge of the cleaver leading the way.
Stepping towards the waiting chopper, the trio of men appeared to be lined up by size with the largest figure bringing up the rear.
"Command Post med-lab is on the way from McMurtle…forty-five minutes to an hour out. They'll bag and tag all the evidence," the man on point announced, a gloved hand positioned over thick goggles in order to block the searing glare of a blazing noonday sun. Easily the shortest of the three, his knees pumped comically high while navigating the knee-high drifts, "sure as hell don't have to worry about sample composition. Those corpses are rock solid…stuck together like bovine cutlets in a deep freeze."
"Damn…worst case of IF I've ever bore witness too," the second chimed in, a pudgy, full-bearded individual whose own uneasy gait appeared of the slightly inebriated sort.
"IF? I don't…" the third of the trio inquired; tall, barrel-chested, and comically bowlegged, his considerable bulk equating to weightier issues atop the deep, virgin snow.
"Igloo fever," the first blurted, pausing to pull the chopper hatch ajar and tossing in his duffel, "surprised me this Garcia chick wigged out so easily. From what I gather, she was a decorated war vet with multiple tours in the Middle East. Thick-skinned and battle-scarred…," he paused, adjusting the goggles and turning about with a shrug, "well, go figure. Such extreme isolation has been known to trigger the insanity gene. "
The second man stepped up just as the first backed away, placing his own sparse gear inside.
"Maybe she was having flashbacks to desert warfare, only this time the sandstorm in question was lily-white and coming down in sheets," he huffed just as the last of the trio stepped forward to take position between them. Placing a gloved hand atop each hip, the big man briefly backed up a step and appeared to be sizing up the chopper up for impending combat.
"Could be…could be…gotta tell ya, she was one strange chick. Tight-lipped and grim. Never saw her crack a smile. In the Army we used to refer to such individuals as perpetually ragged. Probably been on the edge of crackin' for days…maybe even weeks. I was damn fortunate not to wind up in that monkey pile of dead bodies myself."
"No argument there, Mister Peterson," the first man nodded while continuously refitting his goggles, "prime time for generator issues, at least from your perspective, yes?"
The second man remained silent, though with crossed arms and a slight tilt of the head, he appeared to be carefully gauging the larger man's response.
"Yeah, have to confess I'm a firm believer in fate, Marshal," the big man grinned, "hell, now more than ever. I take it you law enforcement types think along different lines."
"Force of habit," the first man replied with yet another shrug, "don't take it personally, but we will have to deta…um, hold you at the base until some details of the murder scene are…cleared up."
"Not a problem, Marshal Weems. Brother, I'm just happy to be upright and jawin' with you fellas. Walkin' into that com room to find little Miss Grimm screamin' about how she'd sliced up the staff to 'protect the world from infection' before runnin' that clever blade over her own throat isn't a memory that's liable to fade anytime soon. Here's hopin' that base of yours has an on-site head-shrink."
"Have to say, you did sound understandably shaken on the radio transmission...kept referring to SOS as 'OSS'. Not to worry, Peterson, we'll make sure you get all the counseling you need. Well, you ready to fly off this burg?"
"Damn straight, Marshal. Sure you don't want me to take the stick on this bad boy?" the big man beamed, gesturing towards the chopper with the wave of his left hand, "been a coon's age since I flew a Squirrel."
The second man regarded the first with an openly sarcastic frown before offering a tight-lipped reply.
"We can manage, Mister Peterson. Climb aboard please."
Twenty minutes later with the research compound far in the distance, the chopper sailed over freshly layered tundra, the bright, deep-blue sky giving no hint of the frenzied chaos it had so recently birthed.
"One thing still puzzles me," Marshal Derek Weems blurted suddenly, forced to shout to drown out the chopper's whirling blades. Sitting directly across from Peterson as his partner navigated the single-engine AS350 over a never-ending series of snow-crusted ranges, the veteran Air Marshal muted further comment until he and the larger man had locked eyes.
"The lead scientist, Marcus…"
"Yeah, ol' doc Derangement we called 'im….smart as a whip and twice as egotistical," Peterson replied with a pained grimace while casually removing the glove from his left hand, "kept my distance from the whole lot of 'em…snooty assholes with a god complex."
"Yes, well, he reported some great find that had all the feds with clipboards fully erect with excitement. Thing is…" the Marshal concluded, cocking a brow quizzically, "…and I know I'm just a jerk with a badge that probably wouldn't know a dinosaur bone from a rooster's drumstick, but I saw absolutely nothing to catch even the untrained eye on display inside that lab-nothing but trays of empty beakers, frost-coated test-tubes, and a half-dozen laptops taking up desk space.
Of course, there was that squared chunk of ice hidden away and blocked off in the generator room…looked like it'd been dug out from the inside. Weird," he shrugged, "but then, what the hell do I know, right?"
"You got me, Marshal," the large man replied with a weary exhale while staring blankly down into the passing blur of sheer whiteness below, his glove-less left hand tucked snugly beneath the adjoining thigh, "how much further to the base, ya think? My eyelids are growin' heavier by the minute…didn't exactly get my quota of shuteye last night."
The Marshal rose cautiously and leaned past the big man into the cockpit to begin a short, mostly inaudible exchange with his partner.
Meanwhile, in sneaking a peek down at the appendage he'd gone to such pains to hide away, the monster that had been veteran co-pilot Mack Peterson released a low squeal of unbridled joy that was as decidedly inhuman as the slimy, wriggling tentacles on display.
"Less than a half-hour out, Peterson," Marshal Weems soon announced with a wink the big man's way, "a hot meal, a sympathetic ear and a soft bed…sound like a plan?"
"Yes sir…it most certainly does at that," the Peterson-thing replied with a nod, a subtle, uncontrollable twitch of its right eye going as unnoticed as the jagged appearance of its piranha-like teeth.
"Especially that part about a sympathetic ear…I get the feelin' I'll be needing as much kind human contact as earthly possible."
Author's note: Thank you and rest in peace, John W. Campbell (author of 'Who Goes There'). John Carpenter's 1982 film masterpiece 'The THING' was one of my main inspirations in becoming a writer of Sci-Fi/horror fiction.

Who ever thought, a pitbull and a teacup chihuahua would be the best of friends. Our pups were not raised together, but the first time these girls were introduced they became the best of friends. Cori, the pitbull and Jaida, the chihuahua are inseperable. Every night the pups,my boyfriend and I sit down and watch tv together. Cori and Jaida are always snuggling right next to eachother, they follow eachother everywhere around the house...where one goes, the other follows. They get very spoiled and love to get their nails painted hot pink together. When you see these two cuddled up one the couch, its such a funny sight. The size of the 60 lb pitbull compared to the small fragile 5 lb chihuahua is shocking. However, when it comes to disagrements, or games of tug-o-war, we always know who wins; the 5 lb chihuahua.

Eugene "Gene" V. Stowell, 85, of Cloquet, Minn., passed away peacefully on Wednesday, Aug. 1, 2012, at Essentia Health in Duluth, Minn., with his family by his side. He was born Aug. 19, 1926, in Browerville, Minn., to Clyde and Lila (Johnson) Stowell. He grew up on a small farm south of Brainerd, Minn., and attended a one-room schoolhouse through seventh grade. Because of his achievements, he was allowed to skip eighth grade and graduated from Brainerd High School in 1943 at the age of 16. He worked for Northern Pacific Railroad before enlisting in the Merchant Marines in 1944, serving his country until the end of World War II. He rented a truck to haul cattle and worked in a sporting goods store before becoming a meat cutter for National Tea Company in 1947. Gene enjoyed a 14-year career with National Tea managing meat departments in Brainerd, Appleton, Little Falls, Ironwood, Mich., and Duluth before moving to Minneapolis, Minn., to supervise 27 supermarkets, eventually being placed in charge of produce for 143 stores.

The Idea in Brief
Business models that involve offering a product or service for free and making money in other ways are spreading beyond the digital realm. But managers of threatened companies are having difficulty figuring out how to respond: An ongoing study has found that some companies respond too quickly but most don't do so quickly enough—even when they have sufficient resources.
To assess the threat, incumbents should consider the entrant's ability to cover its costs quickly enough, the rate at which the number of users of the free offering is growing, and the speed with which paying customers are defecting.
A bigger challenge is overcoming the ubiquitous profit-center structure, which discourages managers from giving away offerings. The remedy is to move P&L responsibility to a senior management group and to assign revenue stream and cost management oversight to separate lower-level groups.
A new competitor enters your market and offers a product very similar to yours but with one key difference: It's free. Do you ignore it, hoping that your customers won't defect or the free product won't last? Or do you rapidly introduce a free product of your own in an attempt to quash the threat? These are questions faced by an increasing number of companies—and not just in the digital realm. The "free" business models popularized by companies such as Google, Adobe, and Mozilla are spreading to markets in the physical world, from pharmaceuticals to airlines to automobiles.
How should established companies respond? Clearly, managers are having difficulty figuring this out. For the past five years, we have been studying how incumbents have dealt with competitors employing free business models in a variety of product markets. (See the sidebar "About the Research.") We have found no examples of companies in the non-digital realm that have prevailed against rivals with free offerings. In fact, in two-thirds of the battles that have progressed far enough to be judged, incumbents (both digital and physical) made the wrong choice. In a handful of instances, companies that should not have taken action did so immediately by introducing their own free offering—hurting their revenues and profitability. They should have either waited and allowed the attacker to self-destruct or recognized that the two could peacefully coexist.
More commonly, companies that should have taken action didn't do so quickly enough or at all. Surprisingly, these included incumbents that had identified a genuine threat from a new entrant and had all the weapons they needed to win a head-to-head battle: an established customer base, superior product features, a strong reputation, and abundant financial resources.
Even companies with formidable assets are slow to fend off free-product competitors. The reason: the ubiquity of the profit-center structure and mind-set.
Why didn't these companies use their formidable assets to fend off free-product competitors? The answer is so obvious that you've probably guessed it: Managers were reluctant to abandon an existing business model that was generating healthy revenues and profits. But if the answer is obvious, why did managers make this mistake? The reason is the ubiquity of the profit-center structure and mind-set. Drawing from our research on free offerings in online and physical markets, we explore in this article how to assess whether the introduction of a free product or service in your market is a threat and how to overcome the profit-center challenge.
Assessing the Threat
The seriousness of the threat posed by a new entrant hinges on three factors: the entrant's ability to cover its costs quickly enough, the rate at which the number of users of the free offering is growing, and the speed with which your paying customers are defecting.
Some new competitors self-destruct because they can't convert nonpaying customers into paying ones fast enough to cover costs or because they can't find a third party that will pay for access to their users. So it's crucial to determine if the competitor's free offering is generating revenue in some way. Of course, some companies may have enough funding to wait a year or more before they need to monetize their user base. (For example, Skype offered its free phone service for a year before it introduced SkypeOut, a paid service for calling landlines from a computer.) But this scenario can actually benefit an incumbent by giving it time to assess the potential of the model and decide whether to launch its own free product.
We learned that an entrant will usually find a way to turn users into revenue-generating customers if its user base is growing rapidly or if the incumbent's paying customers are defecting to the free offering at a high rate. What rates signal danger? Our examination of the dynamics in a number of markets suggests that if the free offering's user base is growing by 40% or more a year (meaning that it will at least double every two years) or your customer defection rate is 5% or more a year (meaning that you stand to lose at least 25% of your customers within five years), serious trouble may be looming. As the matrix "How Big a Threat Is 'Free' Competition?" shows, assessing those rates (or reasonable estimates of them) helps a company determine the level of threat from the free product and respond accordingly.
Choosing Whether and When to Respond
When both rates mentioned above are high, the entrant represents a business model threat. Most established companies must not only respond with a free offering but also radically change their business model to survive. And they need to do so pretty quickly—within two or three years. Many newspapers competing against online rivals that offer free classified advertising or editorial content are in this quadrant. They will continue to deteriorate sharply without a fundamental rethinking of their business model.

Earth 2100's producers asked Dojo Graphics to create characters that would put a human face on the hot-button issue. For Dojo Graphics principal Josh Neufeld, this was a perfect match of talent and treatment. Throughout his cartooning career, Neufeld has been drawn to documentarystyle storytelling. He is the author of the graphic nonfiction book A.D.:New Orleans After the Deluge (due out from Pantheon this summer), and several comics works of journalism and memoir. And for myself, this was an opportunity to use my background as a fiction writer and comics scripter to bring Josh's concepts and characters to life.
Motion comics are emerging in the rich space between 20th century comic books and 21st century digital animation. The subject matter can range from superhero battles, couch-based three-panel gag comics, the adventures of an online bingo enthusiast and their friends, to serious issues and darker comics, like the motion comics used to promote Dead Space last year. Enhanced by simple, layered illustrations, selected special effects, complex sound design, and dramatic voice-over, effective motion comics combine edginess and emotional intimacy.
For the motion comics element, Dojo Graphics took scientific concepts spelled out in expert interviews and built a sci-fi scenario around them. We pitched a dark, apocalyptic future narrated bya ninety-one-year old woman named Lucy. Looking back on the previous century from the year 2100, Lucy tells of a California under siege from wildfires and apocalyptic cults, a drought-starved Mad Max-esque Midwest teeming with bandits and mercenaries, and a flooded New York City with streets like Venetian canals.
We then helped the ABC News producers audition artists to bring the "Lucy scenario" to life. Together, we settled on lead artist Joe Infurnari (with assistance from fellow cartoonists George O'Connor, Leland Purvis, and Tim Hamilton.
The entire process was amazingly collaborative, with the plot points and characters emerging out of long brainstorming meetings. Once story treatment and characters were developed, Dojo Graphics cranked out detailed scripts on tight deadlines.
There was enough excitement and cross-fertilization to make the collaboration a heady one for everyone involved. For the Documentary Group producers, it was a leap into integrating fictional elements and a comics universe. For us at Dojo Graphics, it was a step into the primetime TV world. Working with a big company like ABC was a thrilling experience because of their resources and large-scale vision (which includes numerous interviews with scientists, widespread use of "B-roll" and stock footage, and a gaming site for harvesting user-generated videos as "reports" from possible futures), as well as their commitment to exploring new animation techniques to bring Lucy's story to life.
The most time-intensive stages of the process took place at production studio Guerilla FX. Guerilla is a visionary leader in creating the emerging motion comic aesthetic based on techniques of &limited animation&. It was amazing to see Lucy and her family coming to life on Guerilla's computer monitors. Finally the folks at ABC News added voice-overs, sound design and music, and edited all the elements into a dynamic whole.
For fledgling Dojo Graphics, Earth 2100 has been a dream project: creating an original science fiction scripts, connecting with a prime-time TV audience, the chance to explore new storytelling techniques, and to weigh in on one of our era's most critical issues. The show that will air to ABC's millions of viewers next Tuesday night is the first (that we know of) integration of motion comics, traditional documentary, and user-generated content. We're thrilled to have been part of this experiment, and like you, are eagerly awaiting Tuesday night to see the final result.
Sari Wilson, a principal at Dojo Graphics, is a comics writer and a fiction writer. She also coaches teachers on integrating comics into Language Arts curriculum. Her website is www.sariwilson.net.

Chart House Restaurant - Philadelphia
Online Reservations
We come to Chart House for special times, birthday, anniversary, the occasional holiday. We love eating by the water - so calming!
Food was not as good as it was ALL the other times I have visited.
We really enjoyed our experience there. Fred, our waiter, was fantastic.
Me and my boyfriend had a lovely time celebrating his birthday. They made us feel very special, and even wished him "Happy Birthday" across the top of our menus, that we got to take home! Service was great, food was delicious, and we got a table with an awesome view of the river. Thank you for helping us celebrate his birthday!!
Both the bartendar and the server we extremely knowledgable, outgoing, and a pleasure to interact with. Food is absolutely delicioushighly recommend trying this restaurant if you have not already!
My husband and I dined at the Chart House celebrating our Wedding Anniversary. The service was good, food was very good and we had an overall good dining experience.
We were in town to celebrate my sister's 50th birthday and knew that The Chart House WAS the place for our dinner!! The atmosphere, scenic view, our table, and especially the food were all to die for!!! This is why The Chart House is the top seafood restaurant in Philly!! Our waitress Brooke was evidently having an off night because her service was slow, uncoordinated and she was not giving the top level of service that we should have received. Finally though when I asked for the manager, Isaac was very accommodating and gracious . He apologized profusely and adjusted our bill. When in Philly next time we will DEFINITELY dine again at The Chart House!!
We had a wonderful time celebrating my Mother's 90th Birthday. The host and waiter were very friendly and went out of their way to make my mother feel extra-special on her birthday. Although all of the food was delicious, the New England Clam Chowder soup was the best we ever had!
My prime rib was a tender piece of steak but I didn't like the bronzing that was added to it. Mash potatoes were great. Had a melon drink which was excellent. My husband said the filet was tender and cooked to his liking. I tasted his stuffed shrimp which I enjoyed . Only complaint was the Chinese noodles on salad bar were stale. We had to ask 4 bread. The waiter was very friendly and accommodating. My highlight of the night was the lava cake. Order it when ordering your meal if u want it because it takes 20 minutes 4 them to prepare. Overall a great experience.
All Landry properties have it nailed, plus love coming to Philly
Though we had a great view and wonderful food, I left feeling a bit disappointed. Upon arriving, I had walked up to the host to ask if there was anything that could be done for my boyfriend's birthday. I was thrilled to hear special birthday menus were printed and that a piece of lava cake with a candle would be brought out after dinner (his favorite). However, upon finishing dinner, our waiter brought the dessert menu out and told us the lava cake was not available. Though I thought the birthday lava cake would be arriving shortly to surprise my bf, nothing ever came. I was very disappointed that we had been promised this by the host and sad that we then could not get our favorite dessert because we would have to wait 30 minutes extra.
I hadn't been to Chart House in over 20 years. Always loved it in the past. My experience Tuesday night showed me that I still love it! Food and service was outstanding!
The food is good, service and all however my party and I agree there was a long period after we had our salad, soup and appetizer for our main course. You also have a fair collection of wines to pricy for your selection. Your staff are very pleasant and know legible. Overall we had a very pleasant night. Thank you.
Booked the Chart House for my mother in law's 70th birthday family dinner. Since I mentioned that it was her birthday, they personalized the menu to say happy Birthday on there. They gave us special attention. We had a great seat and view to the water. We had 4 kids with us, it was a nice environment for us. We were able to get something that worked for everyone. She loved the attention. She usually does not like eating out and does not like fancy restaurants. But she felt very comfortable at Chart House.
We had a wonderful experience on this past Saturday. We were greated with a wonderful happy anniversary greeting when we introduced ourselves (I did an online reservation), a happy anniversary greeting was on our menus and our server Lavelle (spelling may be incorrect) was very good. This was an enjoyable experience and the food flavors were impecable! This is our 1st time at the Philly Chart house but definately not our last!
Was a quick decision and worked out just perfect. Easy parking right at restaurant lot (free valet if you wish or self park). Friendly greeting. Most every table has a water view. Waiter was very knowledgable and friendly, made great suggestions. The food was served hot, was absolutely perfect and delicious. All at a reasonable price. I highly recommend it!
We were a party of three and one had Ahi Tuna Seared, other Chelan Sea Bass and the third one had Sacallops. All dished was excellent and delicious. Service was a little slow.
I dined here while on a business trip and the food., service and view was outsganding. The salad bar was excellent with a variety of fresh toppings. We were given the wow treatment as the Hyatt called ahead, which included a complimentary hot lava cake for dessert. Would definitely return again.
We dined at the Chart House on a Monday night, at 6:00 PM so it was a very quiet and relaxed dining experience. Great service, and the stuffed flounder was delicious. We delighted in an unobstructed view of the river, and were able to enjoy the transition from day to night during our meal. Would recommend this restaurant for food, as well as courteous and efficient service!
Great food and great service. I had the yellow fin tuna, , mom had the stuffed flounder. Our server, Trevon made great recommendations. He was very pleasant and took great care being attentive without being overly so. It was an early dinner, so it was quiet with a great view on the water. I had not been to this restaurant for a number of years due to relocation, but will definately go back.
Very much enjoyed the view of the Delaware River. The food was very good and sufficient portions. The signature dessert was excellent enough for two people to share. Felt that server could have provided dessert options but signature dessert would have been the option anyway.
Awesome service & food - Nice touch with the message on our menus for our Anniversary!
It was a lovely night to celebrate our ten year anniversary. This was an unplanned visit because our original choice was closed because of the government lockout. Everything was perfect - the weather, scenery, staff, food. We had a very enjoyable night. We have no regrets with our choice to come here and will definitely plan to visit again.
Its was very good food. I recomend this place to anyone i engoy my selft good everything lol thanx
Very suitable for a business dinner. Our server, Anthony, was very friendly and efficient. My only problem was that the air conditioner was on high and we were all freezing. I also noticed other people in the restaurant putting their jackets on while eating. The coffee at the end was welcomed for a warm up.
Great food and scenic view. Matt our server was great and accommodating to our two toddlers need. Great place for family.
37th Anniversary. Food was very good, service was very good, ambiance was great. View of the Battleship became great when the waters on the Delaware settled down. The reflection of the lights on the ship looked like a waterfall.
I only say moderate for the noise level cause we were probably the loudest in there, other wise quiet except for the dishes or whatever it was that were dropped. I also would like to say our waiter was really outstanding! Can't remember his name, but he was a black gentlemen & his name started w qu, quatease or something. But he really was a pleasure to have!!!
What a perfect place for my BFF to meet for dinner. Great location, valet parking and what a view! We arrived for an early dinner and watch the city skyline light up! We will be back!
Everyone had a great time and the service from Brian, was outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a favorite for my husband and I on a regular basis and for special occasions. The service CAN NOT be topped, Attention is given to all the details.
My daughter, boyfriend and I went to the Chart House for our anniversary. I knew he has been wanting to go there for a while. It was very romantic and also kid friendly in a very elegant way. Our service there was very good. We really appreciated the view. It was romantic and relaxing. The food was Delicious!!! I couldn't get enough of the crab cakes. We will definitely be coming back again.
We took my Daughter & her boyfriend here for her 21st birthday. I had added a note to my OpenTable reservation mentioning it was her birthday dinner. EVERYONE that greeted her wished her a Happy Birthday!! That made the fantastic meal even more meaningful. The food, fabulous. Portions were generous, but not overwhelming. Service was cordial & great. All I can warn you is to be prepared $$$$. BUT, it was well worth it.
My son had been to to Chart House in Boston and wanted to go to the one in Philly. It was very enjoyable and we would go again.
My sisters and I go to see Josh Groban in concert every time he's in town. But, we have to go to dinner beforehand at the Chart House. We fell in love with the Chart House many years ago and have kept the tradition alive ever since. Great food, excellent staff, and a wonderful view. As usual, the food was great and we had a wonderful "pre-concert" meal.
I booked a table for 2 so me and my husband could celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary. It was wonderful. The ambience was relaxing and romantic. The food was delicious. Cream spinach, the bomb! Steak cuts like butter! We were also very pleased with the service. Can't wait to return to try more.
Saturday night was the first time we visited the Philadelphia Chart House Restaurant. From the moment we drove up, we were greeted warmly (from the valet, hostess, and the waitress). The restaurant is beautiful and the food was outstanding. We felt very special.
Chart House ambience is nice and romantic. The food was good but somewhat pricey. The seafood menu is extensive, but they also have a little bit of chicken and beef. There creme brule' was amazing.
Went there with my fiancé after proposing along the waterfront. The place was perfect. They congratulated us with a complimentary champagne toast and the food was amazing. Thank you!!
Staff was attentive to our requests. Dinner was served timely. Food was very professional displayed. Food servings were ok, taste and flavor was exceptional. I would recommend it to friends and family. Overall ambience was excellent and location on river was great setting for a great dining experience.
great food, awesome views. the only disappointment was that it was a birthday celebration and I wish a small cake had been available versus just a candle in one of their desserts.
I just want to personally thank Isaac for is above and beyond service that he provided. The food was amazing and the ambiance was perfect. I am happy to come here every year for my anniversary.
Food, service, atmosphere and most of all, company.... Very important and perfect ingredients for a perfect dinner. Especially on thanksgiving day!
We enjoyed our holiday dinner immensely ...the host staff were most accommodating - our waiter Matt was personable and attentive...and as always the meal was delicious
My boyfriend and i were celebrating his birthday with a trip to Philadelphia. The Chart House came highly recommended by a friend. It was easy to make reservations online. All of my requests were accommodated and the food was delicious. He enjoyed his evening.
Good food. Good service. As a good standby for a nice dinner. Wine list is decent but menu does need a slight upgrade.
Food was top notch. Decent price. Service was terrible. Waiter was forgetful and non attentive. Nice kid but would have rather preferred a professional. Overall great time for our anniversary. Will definitely return.
Seafood was terrific. Week nights choice of a variety of early bird dinner specials or entrees from the regular menu. The waterfront view is beautiful. Server was attentive. Molten lava cake and mudpie for dessert was awesome.
While I would say the food was good (not great), the service from Isaac was great. He was very attentive, professional and humorous (in a good way!) - he made my mom and I laugh a few times. He was prompt with everything (although I had to remind him about my wine order). Overall, the experience was a good one - I had the Clam Chowder to start (very good - LOTS of clams) and the Bronzed Swordfish which came with fried rice - I though this was a little odd but it was good (not greasy or anything).
We had a great dinner at the Chart House on the Delaware, the family loved the food, the view was outstanding and the service was really the best! thank you for making our night special! Jack & Bonnie from NJ

National Reference Laboratory for hantavirus
Institute for Novel and Emerging Infectious Diseases
Rainer G. Ulrich, Martin Eiden
Hantaviruses, family Bunyaviridae, are zoonotic pathogens that are transmitted to humans by persistently infected rodents. Over the past few years, hantaviruses have also been detected in increasing numbers in shrews and moles. So far, it remains unclear whether they are pathogenic for humans. In Europe at least three hantavirus species pathogenic to humans are present. Human infections may result in a haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome of different severity. More than 90% of all human hantavirus infections recorded in Germany are caused by Puumala virus (PUUV). Additional hantaviruses in Germany are the Dobrava-Belgrade-Virus (DOBV) and the Tulavirus (TULV). Also the shrew-associated Seewis virus is found in Germany. So far it is unknown whether hantaviruses can infect and cause disease in companion animals.
For the surveillance of the hantavirus situation a monitoring of rodent reservoirs is being performed in the frame of the network "Rodent-borne pathogens". This monitoring is mainly focused on wild-living rodents from hantavirus outbreak regions in Baden-Wuerttemberg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Lower Saxony, Thuringia and Bavaria, but also from other federal states. After a serological screening of pleural fluid samples by IgG-ELISAs using homologous recombinant antigens, lung samples will be studied by RT-PCR analysis.

Elam Jones was only 29-years-old. His parents sat down to talk with ABC 4 about his death. "It's a big void," said Elam's father, Derek Jones.
This father said he had a premonition about his son's death before he heard the news. "I was coming home from work and I had an empty feeling in my stomach," Derek said.
He saw his wife in the yard waiting with a look on her face he'll probably never forget. Then she uttered the words,"'There's been a cave in.' I knew right then who it was and what the out come would be. I don't know you just get them feelings," Derek said.
Elam's family is putting forward a positive attitude despite the pain they must be feeling. "It's hard. It's hard," said Elam's mother Julie Jones.
His death is especially hard because Elam's father was his best friend. This relationship took off when Elam was just a young boy.
"The hunting and the fishing and the camping," said Derek. "When we weren't at work we spent about all our time together because we lives right next door. We had the same interests," he continued.
Elam's mother recalls when he survived two avalanches. These experiences caused their now deceases son to reflect on his life.
"He said he would never die on a snow mobile. If he was to die sooner than anybody expected it would be in the coal mine. He knew that. He knew that," Julie said.
Elam's mother and father don't blame the mine or Elam for his passing. They say his death is a fluke accident with odds similar to a car accident.
"We believe this isn't the end. There's still life to go on and that's what we hang onto," Julie said.
Elam leaves behind his son's 5-year old Kelson and 4-year-old Dacyn. He also leaves behind his wife Jacqie Jones who is asking for privacy at this difficult time.
Elam's funeral is Wednesday in Huntington.

PORTLAND, OREGON - David Oliver Relin, co-author of Three Cups of Tea, has taken his own life, according to the Oregon State Medical Examiner's Office.
The Medical Examiner's office says Relin died of blunt force trauma to the head in the Portland suburb of Corbett.
Relin co-authored the book "Three Cups of Tea" with Greg Mortenson. Both Mortenson and the book have been in the headlines over the past year after CBS' "60 Minutes" and author Jon Krakauer suggested that parts of the book were fabricated. The book has sold over four million copies. A best-selling author and mountaineer, Krakauer was one of Mortenson's early backers that later withdrew support.
