Research Volunteers
RICE is always looking for participants to take part in our research.
Clinical Trials Research at RICE
If you have a diagnosis of dementia or Mild Cognitive Impairment you may be eligible to take part in one of our clinical trials exploring new drug therapies for treating dementia and memory decline.
Neuropsychology Research at RICE
If you have a diagnosis of dementia we would also welcome your participation in one of our neuropsychology research projects. Please see the Neuropsychology Research section for an overview of some our research themes and current projects. Very often it is possible for individuals to be involved in both our clinical trials and neuropsychological research studies.
If you do not have memory problems, or dementia, but wish to contribute towards our research we have a number of psychology studies running which would be suitable for you. Much of our neuropsychology research focuses on developing psychology assessments which are sensitive to the memory and cognitive changes associated with dementia, for these tests to be useful we need to understand how people without memory problems perform on these assessments as well. We welcome participation into these studies on a "one-off" basis, or alternatively, participants can choose to contribute over the longer term through our Healthy Volunteer Panel (please see below).
Healthy Volunteer Panel
At RICE we maintain a healthy volunteer panel to aid our research. This panel consists of a database of healthy older adults (typically over 50 and without memory problems and past neurological difficulties) who have agreed to be contacted regarding future participation in research studies. People on this database are under no obligation to take part in future research studies, however many members of our volunteer panel have participated in multiple research projects and have found participation to be very rewarding. Please see below for the comments of one of our longstanding healthy volunteers regarding her experience of research participation.
Healthy Volunteer: Mrs X
"Taking part in RICE's research gave me an insight into some of the things i take for granted each day, like being able to remember day-to-day events, and being able to understand language and the things i see and hear around me. I think we often forget how important these things are - we just don't think about them. I found it very satisfying that by contributing to the research going on at RICE i was ultimately helping individuals who had dementia".
For further information on participation in any of our clinical and/or academic research projects, or to join our Healthy Volunteer Panel, please contact 01225 476420

NP Rank:
Gay military spouse treated inferior and cheap pastor
Issues in the news.
The question of homosexuality in the Boy Scouts is news, with the Boy Scouts maybe changing their policy on banning gays in the Boy Scouts. Well, Jennifer Tyrrell is a lesbian and proud parent of a Tiger Scout ( a younger group of Boy Scouts) member. She was forced out of being a Den Mother. This woman who cares deeply about her child wasn't considered moral enough to head be a Den Leader. In fact, she was too good for them.
Staff Sergeant Donna Johnson was the married spouse of Tracy Joe Dice. Johnson died serving her nation overseas and was killed in a bombing. Since her marriage was not legally recognized by the federal government and the U.S. military, she was not informed by the government, but by her loving in-laws.
She was originally denied the ability to see the return of Johnson's body from overseas. She is not recognized as someone who was married to Donna Johnson by our government, because our government continues to recognize the bigotry of the so called Defense of Marriage Act. This discrimination must end, now.
There are strong hints that President Obama will include same sex spouses in immigration reform. Good, for too long they have been denied equality. A spouse is denied residency/green card in the U.S., because they are in a same sex marriage with a U.S. citizen. Just one of the many ways gays are treated unequally under the law.
Finally, an Applebees employee put on Facebook, a restauarnt bill where a pastor named Alois Bell of Truth in the World Deliverance Ministries Church crossed out the tip amount and gave zero, writing that, "I give God 10%, why do you get 18%." She didn't include the name of Bell, but that was figured out by others on the internet. The Applebees employee was not the server of the cheapskate Bell. Bell complained when others found out what a cheapskate she is in fact, and got the server fired. Actually, she wanted everyone working there fired. First of all, as a pastor, she is skimming off what her congreation is giving to god.
That 10% to god isn't going up to the big guy in the sky but to pay Bell's bills and the cost of running the church. I don't know if this church helps feed the hungry, which would be good of course, but obviously Bell gets paid by others giving to this alleged god. Also, to paraphrase the late and great George Carlin, why is this god so bad with money? Always asking for money.
Does this Pastor Bell realize that a waitress doesn't make regular minimum wage and most of their income comes from tips? This case reminds me of a group of Church goers who on Easter told a server they wouldn't be tipping her because they don't believe people should be working on Easter/Sunday. Well, they wouldn't have been if not for them! Why is it that so many on the devoutly religious so cheap when it comes to their fellow men? Do they have such disdain against those who labor for a living? It seems so. By the way, I won't be eating Applees ever again.

Plymouth hit with second round of snow
Posted: 02/17/13 at 6:20 pm Updated: 02/17/13 at 10:23 pm
Tags: Plymouth snow
PLYMOUTH, Mass. (WHDH) -- Plows were out once again, clearing the roads getting them ready for the Monday morning commute. Plymouth was one of the hardest hit areas during last weekend's blizzard, and people there had to deal with round two.
Plymouth picked up six inches of snow Sunday, adding to the snow accumulated in last weekend's blizzard.
"Last weekend was pretty bad. I didn't have power for four days, so it was pretty rough," said Joe Cohen.
Fortunately, there were no major power outages in the town Sunday. NStar said only a handful of their customers lost electricity.
Still, the plows were out once again clearing roads.
"Probably have like five inches now, and probably going to go sledding later. Hopefully skiing sometime this week," said Cohen.
But after back to back snowstorms, others are quickly getting their fill.
"If we get another storm, I'll be sick of it," said Logan Price.
The strong winds coming off the water added insult to injury, making the cold temperatures feel even colder.

The entire country knows about the devastation the Waldo Canyon fire has caused in the city of Colorado Springs and people from all across america are giving to help evacuees in their time of need.
Scott Finlayson used to live in Colorado Springs. On Wednesday, he and his crew made the drive from Kansas City to deliver donations for people they used to call neighbors.
"It's just hard to see that much destruction," said a tearful Finlayson. "I was riding my mountain bike four to five days days a week so, you know, that's a second home for me and I know it is for 99.9 percent of Colorado Springs."
Others like Staci Johnson have lived in the areas that were greatly damaged and are volunteering at Care and Share food bank.
"I do have a lot of friends that are still up there and several have lost everything," said Johnson. "That was the thing that I was not prepared for was being at the relief center and seeing familiar faces."
According to Tom Ramirez, the director of agency relations at Care and Share, the food bank's biggest drive on record brought in 130,000 pounds of food. In the last week, the food bank has recevied more than 1.2 million pounds.
"To be exposed to the needs firsthand of folks, talking with evacuees, hearing their stories- to hear those stories is rewarding," said Ramirez. "It just puts a face to the purpose behind what we're doing."
And people from far and wide are doing everything they can to bring some comfort to the victims who lost so much.

The Moment is proud to introduce We Three Things, by Leanne Shapton, a roundup of three items from the current visual landscape that share a common theme. Shapton, a former art director of the New York Times Op-Ed page as well as an author ("Important Artifacts and Personal Property From the Collection of Lenore Doolan and Harold Morris, Including Books, Street Fashion, and Jewelry"), illustrator and publisher, connects the dots.
I've come around to cherries. When I was a child, my father forbade me and my brother from eating food containing red dye– to him, marachinos were as toxic as cigarettes. I'd leave my Shirley Temple garnish staining a napkin beside the glass, cancer averted. But after one well-mixed Manhattan at Wallse twenty years later, I flung caution to the wind. I now can't get enough cherry: artificial, natural, decorative or symbolic.
I dropped in at Moss this week to warm up on a walk home and was stopped in my tracks by a blobby, glossy, cherry-bomb of flexible resin by Gaetano Pesce/ Fish Design, called the Nugget vase. I imagined it perched brightly on a table in the dark of a winter afternoon, like an inappropriately dressed guest who livens up the conversation.
Arriving home with cherries on the brain and real guests on the horizon, I looked up Dan Lepard's no-nonsense baking column in The Guardian. I had attempted his cherry beet cake recipe this past summer, but found it too heavy for the season. It is better suited to this week's chill, its crumb the color of ruddy cheeks, the streusel top like a crowning of snow.
The cooling cake reminded me of one of my favorite paintings, "Cake In The Wilderness" (oil on linen 2005,) by British artist Ged Quinn: A delicate still life of a cherry tea cake, shaped like Spandau prison, (demolished in 1987) where Nazi war criminals were jailed after the Nuremberg Trials. Quinn's oils traffic in lost history, allegory and moody European landscape. No surprise he is an accomplished musician too. His paintings adorn album covers for The Granite Shore and also The Wild Swans — a group in which he played keyboards. Quinn will show at the Wilkinson Gallery in London from May 20 through June 27th.

Importance of a Website for a Small Business

Most of the small businesses do not realize how important it is to have an online website to promote their products or services. Their general perception is that they have their loyal customers who are coming to them for years so they do not need to spend money on the marketing activities. The tragedy is this, that most of the small business owners are not well aware of the power of internet. Most of the small business owners do not plan for, or allocate any marketing budget.

Big Bore Reloading Questions
As AkMike recommended, I've decided to start reloading. The ammo prices in the big bores certainly justify it, and my sons will probably enjoy it.
I've ordered a book on the subject, and hopefully it will answer most of my questions.
JJ at Champlins re-regulated the Heym that he converted for me from 458 Win Mag to 450 NE with 450 gr NF solids. The rounds he used he loaded with IMR 3031 powder. Are there significant differences in the various powders offered? If I start loading for a 450 NE and 470 NE, then expand into .375 H&H and .416 Rem, is IMR 3031 a good choice?
The Lee Classic Press was recommended for easier clearance with the long NE cartridges. Do Hornady dies work with a Lee Classic Press? What about other presses? Hornady has said that their classic press will work, but it takes some effort to get the bullet in initially.
Now I just have to convince the wife that this is really a money-saving endeavor. Might be tough because I use that argument often, and usually it turns out to be wrong ....Shakey Katy, TX

There is lots of powders to choose from and burn rates will show you what does what. Get a burn rate chart off the net or in a loading manual. Hodgdon has a good one you can download off the net.
Get at least two or three manuals to compare loads too. All manuals are NOT created equal!
You will find 3031 on the fast side for rifles but it works well in large bore, straight wall cases from the .45-70 on up, but so will others. Virtually all die sets will work in any press as long as they are set up for standard size 7/8 dia dies and most if not all are. The opening or window of the press can make a difference in the ease of loading the long boys. RCBS, Redding, Lee and others make a tall press for the big boys. Until you have some time under your belt, use book maximums as max and dont do like many old timers do and "start at max and work up from there". We all like to get the most velocity we can but no animal on earth can tell the difference between 100 feet per second. Load for what shoots most accurately. Certain rounds like certain powders best. For instance the .30-06 almost always shoots well with 4350. The .338 Win mag loves the 4831's and Reloder 19, the .458 Win is well loaded with Reloder 7 and 3031. One disadvantage to 3031 is that it is bulky and takes up much room in cases that need all the help they can get, like the .458 mag. When loading for a .405 Win project some time ago, I switched to H335 (a ball powder) over 3031 as it takes up less room. Welcome to handloading. Its a great hobby and you will learn more than you ever imagined. Good luck with the wife, you're on your own there!

Find a friend or colleague that reloads and look at his set up, let him show you how. Books are great but nothing like hands on experience. Also, look at the lay out, you don't need alot of room but it should be well thought out and organized, everything in a logical sequence.
I ONLY use IMR 4350 in my rifles, and I ONLY use Magnum primers, I once ALMOST got myself into a heap of trouble by having too many powders and primers, etc... I mis-read the charts and gave myself a 10 grain over the max load and shot it not once, but twice (bolt had to be pounded open, primer blown, so like an idiot I shot again - same result).
Lots of info on the internet from various bullet and powder companies, some are more conservative, so work up slowly (1/2 grain increments) - I don't bother with tenths of grains, alot pf people do, I don't - my preference.
Many years ago I bought a 375 H&H too good a buy not to, at the time a box of 30.06 were about $8 and 375 was $30 that's when I started reloading, now all the ammo is expensive and reloading makes alot of sense. We're having the same issues with components as with ammo - a large shortage - but it's getting better.
As mentioned, to the best of my knowledge all dies are standard thread and interchangable - I use RCBS but that's what I started with and I am a loyal customer.
One last bit of advice DO NOT clean your dies with parts cleaner or brake cleaner. I did, and today I had to buy a new set for my 7mm rem mag. Use only dish detergent and water of you need to really clean them, then compressed air to dry them out and a light coat of oil. Just my 2 cents..

Far be it from me to argue with you about what works for you, but in the interest of the discussion, it is not generally recommended to use magnum primers as an all situation primer. First of all its not neccessary for most loading, and can increase pressures in some loadings. About the only place I use mag primers is in pistol loads using H110/W296 and with rifle ball powders like W748 or W760 and of course there are others, but I dont mostly use them preferring extruded powders for most of my loading. I am still laughing about your boo-boo with the overload! I use many different powders for my loadings but I load for many rifle and pistol cartridges. One powder wont cover it, not even a dozen. If I only loaded for a .30-06 I could happily get by with 4350. I agree with your other points.

There's no doubt that within even a relatively short amount of time or rather shots taken, you will save money loading your own. I've calculated it a number of times from .416 Rigby on down to .270 Winchester and comes out virtually the same everytime, my loads cost about 1/2 as much as the comparable factory load.
I'm with ses on the powders. They make a huge difference between calibers and even between size of the projectiles you're using in a given caliber. For instance my .375H&H loves 300gr A-Frames with IMR4350 behind them. But when using 250gr North Forks, the rifle wants H4895 or Varget. My .300WM prefers H4831 and to a somewhat lesser extent IMR7828 or RL25 with 200gr loads.
That said, greyfox has a very good point. As you collect powders it can be easy to mix one with the other. My loading bench is in my garage, but I keep all of my powder in a cabinet in our laundry room. When I'm loading, I bring one and only one powder to the bench. And though I can recite in my sleep the various loads I have for various calibers and by which bullet I'm using, I always check my notes/manuals and confirm. Double checking the bullets being used and once again the powder before I load.
The family has also learned to not disturb me when I'm loading. When trimming brass or priming, I may be inside and can handle the usual requirements of dad and husband. But when I go to the garage and start pouring powder and seating bullets, they all know to leave me alone, that I cannot talk or be distracted.
I've had an incident like grey's (though I only pulled the trigger once, sorry grey) and it's really not funny when you sit and think about what might could have happened. On another forum, a fellow ran an experiment loading up pistol powder in a rifle cartridge just to see what would happen. From a distance using a string and behind cover, they pulled the trigger and the rifle literally blew apart into several pieces. I doubt you'd want your face next to that.
I'm not saying this to deter you, but just to emphasize being safe and conservative as you start off. These are habits you always want to maintain.
One last point, hopefully JJ will provide you the load specs for your double. Even though you have the exact recipe, powder manufacturers do occasionally change the powders slightly. You need to be aware of this and always start a bit below and work way back up to your designated load.Bonse Aba

excellant points that I'd neglected to mention, Phil. The case prep is sometimes a tthe breakfast table , in the a/C, talking to the family, but RIGHT, when it's the powders and primers, DO NOT DISTURB!!
As far as the primers, I load 243, 270, 7mm and 375 and only have one primer for all, just my thing,
I should mention that using magnum primers your max load will be about 1 to 1.5 grains less than published.
No offense taken sesto, If I only had a 30.06 I'd probably use 4064 exclusively.

Hi Shakey,
I found it interesting to know that you have a .450 NE and are planning to reload cartridges for it. I too would like to do so and would be grateful for advice regarding where to source dies and reloading data from etc. Please do keep us informed of progress made by you in this direction.

Random Collaboration...Everything Happens For A Reason
What if you could grow your dream in your own backyard or quit your job to fly with your own flock? For Greg Svitak, co-founder of Flock'd, it all started with an idea, a phone call, a bus, and some friends. Greg is a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. Beginning this week, the 37 year old will officially be living the startup dream.
I sat down with Greg at Loop, a local coffee shop in Cleveland's Tremont to discuss his story. We chatted over his choice of a skinny iced mocha and my soy iced chai, which is now a favorite thanks to the amazing staff recommendations to the recipe.
Talking with Greg was like chatting it up with an old friend. He's a down to Earth kind of guy who is interested in doing his civic duty by encouraging local startups through mentoring and connecting people through his network. Greg, a product of Cleveland, likes keeping things in the local Ohio Loop. He's worked with Cleveland Bridge Builders, a program that teaches civic engagement, to help him be more effective at something he says he has a great passion for. As he continued on with his story about connecting, a text message came across his iphone acknowledging a great meeting and thanking him for the connections that were passed along.
Greg, who holds an MBA from Case Western Reserve and BBA and MIS degrees from Ohio University, started connecting the dots back in September of 2010. He wanted to be with like-minded entrepreneurs and he felt moving to Austin, Texas would get him what he was looking for. Greg was a solutions analyst for the office of the CTO at Hyland Software. He spent almost 9 years at Hyland launching dozens of products. He loved his job, but he was looking from something more to startup.
Thanks to his good friend Aaron LeMeiux, CEO and co-founder of nPower PEG technology of Tremont Electric and his convincing conversations of how he started up in Cleveland; Greg was convinced to stay longer. He loaded Greg's mind with hope and good conversation.

Thursday, Dec 512:04 PMSolarCity offering backup energy storage using Tesla batteries
- SolarCity (SCTY +5.5%) is launching DemandLogic, an energy storage solution that's meant to complement its solar installations, and which relies on battery packs from fellow Elon Musk brainchild Tesla (TSLA +2.1%).
- DemandLogic can act as a backup energy source during grid outages, reduce or eliminate the need for grid power during times when the sun isn't shining, and lower the "demand charges" faced by businesses (tied to peak grid usage) by acting as an electricity source during peak hours.
- Much like SolarCity's panel installations, DemandLogic comes with no up-front cost, and is instead monetized via (10-year) service agreements.
- SolarCity admits DemandLogic generally doesn't make financial sense for homeowners at this time, but argues some businesses paying steep demand charges could see an immediate benefit.

Monday, Nov 2511:32 AMSolarCity building ten more CA operations centers
- Following the buildout, expected to be finished by year's end, SolarCity (SCTY -2.5%) will have 24 operations centers in California, the company's home state and by far the largest solar market in the U.S. (PR)
- The announcement comes a month after the passage of a California solar bill that allows for the unlimited dialing back of electricity meters to account for power provided to the grid. The bill has widely been seen as a positive for SolarCity.

Thursday, Nov 213:01 PMSolarCity rallies following favorable conference mention
- Axel Capital's Anna Nikolayvesky has made a bull case for SolarCity (SCTY +4.2%) at the Robin Hood Investors Conference, and set an $80 target (a 68% premium from current levels).
- SolarCity is rebounding after getting hit recently by Congressional inquiry worries and a general selloff in solar names.
Thursday, Nov 213:01 PM| 4 Comments -
Tuesday, Nov 1911:07 AMSolarCity falls amid Congressional inquiry concerns
- Senator Jeff Sessions has sent a letter to Treasury sec. Jacob Lew questioning the level of government funding SolarCity (SCTY -2.9%) receives. He heavily references an Aug. 31 Barron's column taking aim at SolarCity's fair market value estimates for its solar installation/electricity sale contracts (its government grants are based on them).
- SolarCity's estimates are above its installation costs. Sessions: "Over-inflating the cost of solar products is not only detrimental to the government, but to investors as well ... there is concern that SolarCity might become the next Solyndra—a company propped on the back of the taxpayers, not the product produced."
- Sessions also notes SolarCity's history of major losses (generally the result of the company's aggressive financing/installation efforts), and that a planned 2017 drop in federal tax credits to 10% is expected to increase the company's financing needs.
- He concludes by asking Lew to explain the Treasury Dept.'s willingness to let solar firms to set their own fair market values, as well as to provide details about past grants.
- SolarCity is down 11% over the last two days, but still up over 4x YTD.

Thursday, Nov 143:52 PMDeutsche likes SolarCity's offering, calls it a positive for SunPower
- Deutsche's Vishal Shah predicts SolarCity's (SCTY +4%) $54.4M sale of solar asset-backed notes could open the door for SunPower (SPWR +4.3%) and others to do similar deals. The latter company has joined the former, which has already received a Baird upgrade in response to the offering, in rallying.
- Shah states the 4.8% interest rate carried by SolarCity's notes is below the 6.5% rate he expected, and well below tax equity financing rates (can be as high as 15%). "Bottom line, the Solarcity ABS transaction improves overall sector profitability and sets the stage for a lot stronger growth of the US solar market over the next 12-18 months."
- Also: SolarCity is partnering with BMW to offer solar electricity rate discounts to buyers of BMW's i Series hybrid/electric cars within SolarCity's 14-state service area.

Thursday, Nov 147:49 AMBaird upgrades SolarCity to Outperform, shares +6% premarket
- Baird's Ben Kallo declares SolarCity's (SCTY) effort to sell solar asset-backed securities makes it "one of the most innovative public solar financing companies."
- He's lowering the discount rate he applies to SolarCity's projects to account for the relatively low 4.8% interest rate attached to the company's asset-backed debt, and expects shares will "react favorably as investors recalibrate their expectations."
- Shares have now recouped a majority of the losses they saw following SolarCity's Nov. 6 Q3 report.

Tuesday, Nov 128:59 AMSolar stocks down premarket following Yingli and Hanwha's results
- Up strongly yesterday, ever-volatile solar stocks are giving back some of their gains in premarket trading today after Yingli (I, II) and Hanwha (I, II) provided Q3 results and full-year guidance that left investors wanting more following big 2013 run-ups.
- Notable decliners: TSL -3.9%. JKS -5.2%. JASO -3.4%. CSUN -3.3%. SCTY -1.3%. SUNE -2.5%.
- Also: Canadian Solar (CSIQ) is down 2.4% in spite of announcing a 32MW module supply deal for a Chinese solar plant, and First Solar (FSLR) is down 0.7% in spite of announcing it has obtained power purchase agreements for a 40MW California power plant it's building.

Monday, Nov 113:26 PMSolar stocks jump again as positive sentiment prevails
- Solar stocks are bouncing back strongly today following last Thursday's SolarCity-led selloff. Though there's no major news trigger for today's gains, industry sentiment has been increasingly positive thanks to good earnings news, optimism about 2014 demand, and signs government support remains healthy.
- China has lifted its 2014 solar installation target to 12GW from 10GW, albeit while keeping its 2015 cumulative installation target intact at 35GW. Meanwhile, Solarbuzz is predicting long-struggling Europe will stabilize in 1H14, and return to growth in 2H14. Germany and the U.K. are expected to account for half of regional demand.
- JA Solar (JASO +10.1%), which has announced a new 70MW module supply deal, is among today's big winners. Others: JKS +10.5%. FSLR +4.2%. SCTY +6.7%. TSL +7.9%. ENPH +5%. YGE +6.7%. CSUN +8.8%. STRI +7.3%.

Thursday, Nov 72:22 PMSolarCity dives post-earnings, takes peers lower with it
- With shares up over 5x YTD going into the company's Q3 report, SolarCity (SCTY -14%) investors are taking profits in the face of a Q3 beat and above-consensus guidance.
- Credit Suisse (Outperform, $75 PT) is defending SolarCity today, while praising the company's operating leverage and incremental retained value per watt (rose 35% Q/Q in Q3 to $1.9)1.
- Goldman (Neutral, $65 PT) also talks up SolarCity's value retention, as well as its declining operational costs/watt (fell to $0.59/watt from $0.80/watt in Q2). But it also cautions expectations were high, points out "no volume upside was provided" for 2013/2014 deployment targets, and that there's "limited clarity" for SolarCity's solar lease securitization efforts.
- On its CC (transcript), SolarCity mentioned it invested $200M+ in solar deployments in Q3, and financed another $86M. The company has been raising funds for its deployment efforts at a breakneck pace.
- Many solar peers are also off sharply on a rough day for tech momentum play. Thanks to good earnings news, the group rallied sharply both on Monday and last Friday. In addition to SolarCity, China Sunergy's poor guidance could also be playing a role.
- Solar decliners: FSLR -4.2%. SPWR -6.1%. SOL -5.1%. JKS -4.8%. YGE -4.7%. JASO -6.5%. DQ -10.2%. SPWR -6.1%. LDK -5.5%. SUNE -3.8%.

Wednesday, Nov 65:06 PMTech guidance roundup: SolarCity, Giant Interactive, Rosetta Stone
- SolarCity (SCTY) expects Q4 revenue of $40M-$46M ($22M-$24M in operating lease revenue, $18M-$22M in systems sale revenue) and EPS of -$0.55 to -$0.65 vs. a consensus of -$0.47. 101MW are expected to be deployed, a figure that meshes with existing full-year guidance of 278MW. 2014 guidance for 475MW-525MW in deployments has been reiterated. Shares -2.7% AH, giving back a small portion of the year's big gains. (Q3 results, PR)
- Giant Interactive (GA) expects Q4 revenue to "grow moderately" relative to a Q3 level of $96.4M. That suggests the company could miss a Q4 revenue consensus of $101.8M. Shares unchanged AH for now. (Q3 results, PR)
- Following a Q3 miss, Rosetta Stone (RST) expects 2013 revenue of $270M-$280M and EPS of -$0.12 to -$0.01, below a consensus of $286.5M and $0.01. The language software vendor blames "lower pricing and softness" in retail channels for its near-term issues. Shares -11.2% AH. (Q3 results, PR)

Wednesday, Nov 64:10 PM
Monday, Nov 412:56 PMSolar stocks take off following guidance hikes
- Positive Q3 guidance revisions from Canadian Solar (previous) and Daqo (DQ +11.2%) are fueling another massive rally in solar stocks, some of which jumped last Friday thanks to blowout Q3 numbers from First Solar (FSLR +4.6%).
- Canadian hiked the midpoint of its Q3 module shipment guidance range by more than 10%, and the midpoint of its gross margin guidance range by 800 bps. Daqo has upped its polysilicon shipment range to 1,200-1,275 MT from a prior 1,000 MT, albeit while slightly lowering its wafer shipment guidance to 6.5-6.6 MT from prior 6.8 MT (shipping delays are blamed).
- The guidance hikes follow a string of positive Q2 reports from Chinese solar firms in August, as companies saw both their sales and margins benefit from growing local demand, diminishing overcapacity, and strong shipments to the high-margin Japanese market. Credit Suisse recently predicted improving demand could lead excess Chinese supply to evaporate by late 2014 or 2015.
- Also: Suntech (STP +13.6%) has officially reached a deal to sell its large and bankrupt Wuxi, China unit to solar cell maker Shunfeng (previous), SunPower (SPWR +10.9%) has announced it's buying module cleaning robot developer Greenbiotics, and SolarCity (SCTY +16.4%) has announced (as part of its seemingly non-stop financing binge) it's selling $54.4M in solar asset-backed notes maturing in Dec. 2026.
- Today's winners, aside from the aforementioned companies: JKS +9.8%. JASO +9.2%. RSOL +8.3%. LDK +6.5%. HSOL +5.2%. YGE +7.4%. CSUN +6%. SOL +6.9%. SUNE +3.5%. TSL +9.7%.

Thursday, Oct 314:33 PMDeal timings boost First Solar's Q3 results; 250MW project sold
- First Solar (FSLR) attributes its blowout Q3 in part to initial revenue recognition for its 550MW Desert Sunlight solar project (California), and from the sale of its 50MW ABW project (Canada).
- Also helping: Gross margin rose 170 bps Q/Q and 30 bps Y/Y to 28.8%. First Solar has hiked its full-year gross margin guidance range to 24%-26% from 22%-23%.
- Nonetheless, 2013 operating cash flow guidance has been lowered to $700M-$900M from $800M-$1B. Capex guidance has been lowered to $300M-$350M from $350M-$400M.
- Along with its Q3 results, First Solar announces it's selling its 250MW Silver State South project (Nevada, previous) to a NextEra Energy (NEE) unit. Terms are undisclosed.
- Expected future module shipments are now at 2.7GW, up from 2.2GW at the end of Q2 and 2.6GW at the end of 2012. 860MW of incremental bookings were achieved in Q3, partly offset by ~300MW of shipments.
- Expects future systems/module revenue is at $7.8B, up from $7.6B at the end of Q2 and down from $8B at the end of 2012. Potential opportunities stand at 7.7GW, down 300MW Q/Q.
- FSLR remains halted, shares resume trading at 4:35PM ET. SPWR +2% AH. SCTY +3.1%.

Monday, Oct 2812:15 PMTech momentum plays dive again
- Though the Nasdaq is only down 0.1%, many 2013 Internet, solar, and enterprise software high-flyers are diving once more. Chinese names are well-represented in the group, as NQ Mobile continues crashing thanks to fraud allegations and Sohu plunges due to weak Q4 EPS guidance.
- The WSJ and NYT have each run pieces asking whether a new tech bubble is afoot, at least in certain hot sectors. "People are reaching for growth," says one fund manager quoted by the WSJ. Others argue the fact the high-flyers generally have substantial revenue, and are often profitable, makes the current situation different from the Dot.com bubble.
- Internet decliners: FB -3.4%. MELI -2.8%. GRPN -5%. ZNGA -2.7%. P -2.4%. DANG -7.6%. VIPS -7%. YY -4.8%. QIHU -5.6%. RENN -5.7%. SINA -2.4%. FUEL -4%.

United Way Worldwide continually embarks on national large scale research initiatives which help guide and shape our path and give a megaphone to a variety of our constituents including donors, recipients, employees, volunteers and community partners.
It is this continual feedback loop that makes United Way what it is, an organization steeped in history and heritage, yet one that continually seeks new input from our community and experts, driving community change based on real issues.
Local United Way chapters formulate their local agendas with the help of this National research, yet many, like United Way of Southern Nevada, take it a step further to get an accurate read of our local community issues through the eyes of our many constituents.
United Way of Southern Nevada has historically fielded a large scale Community Assessment every few years. Given the dynamic changes in our community over the past two years, it was critical that we get back into the field to understand the unique factors and recent changes so that real-time solutions are put into place. With the help of Applied Analysis and The Lincy Institute we have brought together best practices in academic, economic and policy research.
Phase I of The UWSN Community Assessment 2012 was completed in the Fall 2012.
Voices from all around the community were heard, from opinion leaders, the general population and the at-risk population. It was critical that the methodology allow for multiple points of view so as to understand the nuances that affect varying populations. These results will help set the course for many smaller non-profits and governmental agencies. Phase II is currently underway, with The Lincy Institute creating solutions to meet the challenges our community voices. Together, we can understand and tackle our community's challenges. Together, we LIVE UNITED.

Zero commitment necessary and ALL the fun of a full relationship. So what's the catch?
Free bingo = first date – no deposit required!
Maybe I've been watching too many movies… am I completely on my own here? To me no deposit bingo games are the essence of what a good first date should be – the guy (well OK or girl) pays but doesn't impose any 'conditions' on you in return.
Top of the No Deposit Tree:Play 4 free + win cash @ Bingo On The Box
Choose a Top 15 FREE no deposit deal!
Most dates will offer to pay half and most sites will match or better your first deposit. But the best free bingo, no deposit required sites let you play, with a chance of winning real cash, without spending any of your hard-earned savings.
Best Offers for New Players
No deposit bingo bonuses for new players give you a few pounds (sometimes expressed as a number of bingo cards) and let you play certain bingo games until your free bingo pounds run out. A good example of this is Bingo on the Box with its £15 free bingo sign-up bonus giving access to the chat rooms and the ability to trial its best bingo games. Here' a little no deposit bingo comparison table for you :
Site | N/D Bonus | Brief No Dep Bingo Review | Play NOW! | |
1 | Wink Bingo | Anywhere for £15 to a £1,000 on 1st deposits!! Spin That Wheel! | One of the leading Joy Of Bingo sites, and has been for a long time now. Wink Bingo will take care of all your worries (wink wink). [Read more...] | |
2 | TeaTime | £15 & 200% on 1st deposits | Only £15 free… ONLY?! But what makes this site special is its constant attention to detail. If it were a man it would be a real gentleman! [Read more...] | |
3 | Bingo on the N/D Box | £15 & 300% on 1st deposits | Playing no deposit Bingo on the Box is as easy as 1-2-300 – (1) Sign up, (2) Receive 15 free + (300% free with 1st deposits!) [Read more...] | |
4 | Bingo Street | 50p jackpots & Min 200% on 1st deposits | Play no deposit bingo here with the site's super-splendid 50p free bingo jackpots . Stick around for so much fun and friendly bingo feeling you won't want it to stop . [Read more...] | |
5 | Dream Bingo | £15 & 300% on 1st deposits | Only £15 free… ONLY?! But what makes this site special is its constant attention to detail. Come along and live the Dream with me! [Read more...] |
The biggest free bingo, no deposit, deals will give you £15+ cash, for example with Bingo on the Box, GoneBingo and Tea Time Bingo. The Tea Time and Bingo on the Box deals are great examples of what online bingo can offer you: simple, transparent, value for money ways in to the super fun world of bingo games.
I have seen as much as a £5 no deposit bingo bonus offered at Ruby Bingo, although they don't make it quite so easy to get as at other sites – too much mouse clicking for my liking – my poor fingers !! But for those that like the idea of a really safe place to play, Ruby (powered by high street betting big boy, William Hill) is maybe a good option.
Bingo Cams treats you to a £5 FREE! Even without a cam!!
No Deposit, But No Free Cash?
It sounds crazy but it's not, trust me. What some sites are doing these days is instead of giving you free bingo bonus money to play with they just have free games you can play to test out the bingo website. Bingo Street and Tasty are a good examples – you can play the latter's Naked Chef game as much as you want without spending a penny, literally and figuratively!
And this is why it can be confusing for some people starting out in the online bingo world. Trying to compare no deposit bingo games is tricky when some sites let you play bingo for free while others give you a free bingo (no deposit needed) bonus to spend in the site's various 75-ball, 80-ball and 90-ball bingo halls. Imagine trying to decide between the guy that gives you money to spend but restricts what you can spend it on and the one that pays for everything but makes all the decisions. Honestly, neither sounds that great!
So, I will tell you what I think the best way to play online bingo is…
You could play without depositing all day long! But…
Some people will tell you to go off and try to work through all the no deposit bingo sites you can find to see what you can win. I'm not sure about this though, sounds a bit risky. After all, being faithful to a partner brings its own rewards and there are rewards for being loyal bingo customers too, which are worth being aware of.
So choose a few of the best offers for new players and spend some time getting to know the site, the chances are that it will recognise your commitment!

Friday I saw "Snow White and the Huntsman" and yesterday I finished GRAVEMINDER by Melissa Marr. So I'm going to kill two bird with one stone – or kill two reviews with one post?
Both good. Highly recommend.
The End.
What? Oh, okay. More detail.
As with The Avengers, I was happy to see that Snow White and The Huntsman was not just two and a half hours worth of CGI battles. But the CGI stuff was pretty good. Charlize Theron stole the show as the evil Queen Ravenna. Kristen Stewart was not as bad as I feared as Snow White, although shades of Bella Swan definitely came through. But I don't want to get mired down in what I think of KStew's acting.
One of the parts of the movie that was most pleasantly surprising for me was Bob Hoskins as one of the seven dwarves. I liked that they CGI'd the dwarves allowing them to cast pretty much anyone they wanted to in those roles. Bob Hoskins was a surprise to me because whenever I think of him, I can only picture his silly roles in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and "Hook." He was excellent as a more serious character in this film. Ian McShane and Toby Jones were also excellent. (Side note: Did you know that Toby Jones did the voice of Dobby in the Harry Potter movies? I didn't!)
What I wish they had done a better job on was the only-hinted-at triangle between Snow White, the Huntsman and William (Snow's childhood friend). The potential was there to expand upon that story line but they really didn't.
I'd give Snow White and the Huntsman four stars out of five. Worth the time and money… and even the popcorn stomach ache afterward.
GRAVEMINDER by Melissa Marr gets more like 4.5 or five stars out of five. But, then again, I unabashedly love Melissa Marr. I have since I picked up WICKED LOVELY. I was actually hesitant to read GRAVEMINDER because it sounded so different from the WICKED LOVELY series. But she did not disappoint.
This is Marr's first adult fiction book.
The story follows the events in the small town of Claysville where the people, centuries ago, made a pact with the mysterious Mr. D, who rules the land of the dead. They would have good health and long life (barring accidents or murders). In exchange one woman – the Graveminder – must always tend to the dead and keep them from walking again. Rebbekah is slated as the next Graveminder but she doesn't know it until the murder of her grandmother, the previous Graveminder, brings her back to Claysville. The Graveminder always has a partner – the Undertaker – to help her and to protect her. Byron is equally clueless that he will be the next Undertaker.
Marr builds a fantastic story by giving out only enough information to keep you guessing and piecing things together bit by bit. She also builds a rich, interesting "world" in the land of the dead that Bek and Byron must visit.
The relationship between Bek and Byron is interesting and explores philosophical questions about whether they'd be attracted to each other if they weren't (for lack of a better description) already genetically pre-disposed for each other in their roles. Rebbekah's character is a little irritating in the way that she is so indecisive about Byron and Byron is equally irritating in his unwavering devotion to her, even though she is constantly drawing him in and then pushing him away.
All-in-all a great read and I found it hard to put down. The supporting characters and sub-plots were well-developed and not gratuitous, I thought.
And that's it! What book are you reading right now? Have you seen Snow White and the Huntsman? What did you think? I hope everyone has a wonderful week!
