Archive for the 'Cadillac V-12' tag
SIA Flashback – Regal ragtop: 1935 Cadillac V-12
Comparing the Cadillac V-12 to the Cadillac V-16 is inevitable: the former was derived from the latter, both were offered at the same time, and both competed for the ultra-luxury buyer so scarce during the depths of the Depression. Arch Brown, in SIA #133, January 1993, does so, but goes on to dispel some myths about the two while discussing a handsome V-12-powered 1935 Cadillac Fleetwood convertible sedan.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1934 Cadillac chassis
Oftentimes when I meet up with my friend (and Hemmings Classic Car columnist) David Schultz for a chat, talk turns to rebodied big-C Classics – that is, closed-car bodywork scrapped in favor of open-car bodywork, V-8 cars placed on V-12 chassis, etc. It's a giant headache for the people in the Classic Car Club of America, not only because it muddles the history of those great cars, but also because many great closed bodies get unceremoniously discarded. I assumed, out of naivete, that this was something done in decades past, but I seem to be mistaken, after coming across this 1934 Cadillac V-12 chassis for sale on Hemmings.com. From the seller's description:
Perfect candidate for installing an open or closed car body to update your 8 cyl project to a V12! Looks to be very complete, included complete V12 motor, transmission, with distributor and cap. All axles and suspension installed in frame still. It is very original and rust free frame that will restore perfectly. Good undamaged intake and exhaust manifolds. What you see is what you get, it is missing the carburetors, and drive shaft. Also available for an additional cost os a complete perfect original 34 V12 hood, and front fenders (I will also consider selling these separately).

Success! Cadillac's OHC V-12 engine photos found
that episode of Cadillac history in Special Interest Autos, he came up empty-handed. But after a few well-placed e-mails, GM's Heritage Center (which now has one of the engines on display) sent along these three photos of what it called the V-Future V-12.Times have, apparently, changed. When Richard Langworth went looking for photos of the 1960s Cadillac V-12 to prove its existence for the story he wrote on
The mention that it's at the Heritage Center sent me back to look over the photos I took when I visited the center in 2008 and, indeed, I did take a shot of an unlabeled Cadillac overhead-camshaft V-12 engine similar to, but substantially different from the one in these photos.
As you can see, it is indeed of an overhead-camshaft design, with a distributor running off the snout of each camshaft, though the Heritage Center engine seems to have a dummy distributor in addition to the camshaft-mounted distributors. Despite the accessories bolted to the engine, the one in the photos is obviously still somewhat roughed-in, with cylinders and pushrods open to the air; the engine at the Heritage Center is a little more refined and looks production ready. Though we can't see the carburetors in the three older photos, the engine at the Heritage Center appears to use three two-barrels. And while Langworth's description of an all-aluminum engine is supported by these photos, the engine is definitely not 90 degrees, as he wrote – more like 75. The 500-cubic-inch displacement that Langworth mentioned does seem plausible, though we'd love to see bore and stroke measurements.
Thanks to General Motors and the staff at the Heritage Center for providing these photos.
UPDATE: Karl Ludvigsen's 2005 book, "The V-12 Engine: The Untold Inside Story of the Technology, Evolution, Performance and Impact of All V-12-Engined Cars," has a few pages on the Cadillac V-Future program. He notes that Paul Keydel was assigned responsibility for the engines, and that six prototypes were built. They all featured a 60-degree bank, chain-driven camshafts and hydraulic finger followers. Initial displacement was 7.4 liters, though an 8.2-liter version was also built (500 cubic inches translates to 8.2 liters). The engines were tested from May 1963 through April 1964 and developed anywhere from 295 to 394 horsepower and from 418 to 506 pound-feet of torque, using a variety of induction systems including fuel injection, a single four-barrel carburetor, dual two-barrels, dual four-barrels and triple two-barrels.
Interestingly, Ludvigsen notes that the V-12 was slated to appear in the front-wheel-drive Eldorado, and that GM drivetrain engineers had initially considered a transverse engine placement for the front-wheel-drive drivetrains. Cadillac engineers protested, noting that the transverse engine placement would not work with the longer V-12, and were able to force the drivetrain engineers to develop a longitudinal engine placement in the front-wheel-drive cars. It wasn't until after that change was made in 1964 that the V-Future V-12 program was discontinued due to the poor performance of the test engines and due to a predicted inability for the engine to meet anticipated emissions controls.
Dizzy times in Hershey
There are some parts that no one makes anymore, and the distributor cap for a V-12 Cadillac is apparently one of them. So, how much would you have to spend for a good, used one? We saw this one at Hershey. I've cropped out the asking price; make your best guess, and click on the photo for the answer.
Buicks at the AACA Museum
Eight outstanding Buicks from the collection of noted Buick enthusiast Nicola Bulgari will be on display at the Antique Automobile Club of America's museum in Hershey, Pennsylvania through April of 2006.
Nicola, the vice-chairman of well-known Italian jewelry firm Bulgari, has great admiration for American classics, especially those produced in the 1930s and '40s. In addition to his '33 Model 96 Club Sedan, Model 96S, '41 Supercharged Sedanette, '41 Century Sedan, '42 Estate Wagon, '54 Skylark convertible and '87 GNX Buicks, also shown will be his '31 Chrysler CG Imperial LeBaron, '32 Cadillac V-12 limousine, '34 La Salle, '34 Studebaker Land Cruiser, '39 Packard Super 8, '47 Nash Suburban and '51 Hudson Hornet.
All of these cars feature outstanding restorations and are well worth viewing. For more details call 717-566-7100 or visit them online at www.aacamuseum.org

Official Glastonbury festival meet-up announcement!
Mike Eccleshall on 15 May 2003
Shake Hands With Shorty!
Virtual Festivals and Glastonbury Festivals would like to invite you all to the Official real-world meet-up of the online festival community. This is scheduled to be at the MIXING DESK of the ONEWORLD (formerly-JAZZWORLD) STAGE at Glastonbury Festival on Thursday 26th June (the day before the festie starts, but a day or so after a lot of us will have set up camp). The time - 8.30pm!
Virtual Festiavals is the Glastonbury Festival's Official Online Community Partner, and manages and moderates the Official Message Boards. So of course all of the Virtual Festivals team, along with other Glastonbury website people and members of Glastonbury Festivals Ltd will be there to meet you all and accept your offers of drinks :-) ...or just the pleasure of making your aquaintence.
It would be great if you all of you who are lucky enough going to the festival could get down there and meet us. We will make
ourselves obvious - look out for VF t-shirts (or umbrellas if the promised water fight breaks out). It will be a
great opportunity for old timers to meet up and remember old times - and if you are new to Glastonbury we'll
make sure that you have a great time.
Oh - and if you can't be at this meeting then come along to the Cider Bus at noon any day to catch up on news and gossip with some of the team.
See you there...
The VF Crew.

:: Selectable Frame Rates
60i, 30F Progressive, 24F Progressive Frame Rates
The XH A1S provides a range of options to help you realize your creative vision. One of the key options is the ability to choose frame rate settings between 60i, 30F progressive and 24F progressive - you will have just what you need to achieve your best results.
30F Progressive Frame Rate
In addition to the standard interlaced video frame rate of 60i, you may choose to set the XH A1S to capture video in 30F (30 progressive frames, recorded in 60i) which is ideal for footage which will be uploaded to the Internet. It is also an excellent choice for capturing fast action shots and sporting events. In addition, this setting gives enhanced quality to still images captured after recording.
24F Progressive Frame Rate
This setting gives a "film look" to the footage you record as the video frame capture rate is 24F, giving the appearance of the same frame rate as movie film.
60i / 50i Video Frame Rate Option
With the XH A1S's versatile open-architecture approach, you can even customize your HD camcorder to record in both 60i and 50i (This optional upgrade must be performed by a Canon Service Center).

Google Office Environment vs Facebook Office Environment
Article ID: 488 | Rating: 5/5 from 1 votes | Last Updated: Mon, May 3, 2010 at 12:34 PM
Which giant would you prefer to work for: Google or Facebook? It might be a question of personal preference. You can't help but love one company's work more than another, which leads to desire to work for them. Aside from that, you could use some objective measurements in choosing between the two.
This might help you. We give you a chance to have a sneak view at the offices from both Google and Facebook. You'll find that both are design great, to enhance the productivity of their workers. Absolutely no trace of standard office cubicles.
Google Office
About Google:
Google Inc. is an American public corporation specializing in Internet search. It also generates profits from advertising bought on its similarly free-to-user e-mail, online mapping, office productivity, social networking and video-sharing services. Advert-free versions are available via paid subscription. Google has more recently developed an open source web browser and a mobile phone operating system. Its headquarters, often referred to as the Googleplex, is located in Mountain View, California. As of March 31, 2009 the company had 19,786 full-time employees. It runs thousands of servers across the world, processing millions of search requests each day and about one petabyte of user-generated data each hour.
Facebook Office
About Facebook:
Facebook, Inc. is a company that operates and privately owns social networking website, Facebook. Users can add friends and send them messages, and update their personal profiles to notify friends about themselves. Additionally, users can join networks organized by city, workplace, school, and region. The website's name stems from the colloquial name of books given at the start of the academic year by university administrations with the intention of helping students to get to know each other better.
Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook with his college roommates and fellow computer science students Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes while he was a student at Harvard University. The website's membership was initially limited to Harvard students, but was expanded to other colleges in the Boston area, the Ivy League, and Stanford University. It later expanded further to include any university student, then high school students, and, finally, to anyone aged 13 and over. The website currently has more than 350 million active users worldwide.

WENDTE, S.D. – (DRG News) The Fort Pierre Fire Department and Hughes/Stanley County Emergency Management Office responded to a diesel fuel spill Thursday that occurred after about a half dozen train cars derailed on railroad tracks along Bad River Road in the Wendte area. Hughes/Stanley County Emergency Manager Rob Fines says crews were called to the scene about 6:45 p.m. Thursday. He says about a half dozen freight train cars–that were part of a longer train–derailed off the tracks. In the process, a small hole was punctured in a fuel tank which was in a string of maintenance cars on tracks alongside the derailed cars. Fines says about 20-40 gallons of diesel fuel spilled on the ground before the spill was stopped. Fines says Canadian Pacific Railway workers were at the scene yesterday working to put the derailed cars back on the tracks.

- @DonCarlo2863

Thanks to all that entered! (more…)
It was a big morning for Apple, what with the launch of WWDC and all its goodies. So what's new in the world of Apple and what do you need to know? Let's find out. (more…)
We review a lot of games here at iPhone.AppStorm, and the ones that do the best — both financially and by popular vote — tend to be the ones that take advantage of the iPhone's screen (think Angry Birds, Cut the Rope and similar games). Hungry Lizards fits into that category, and that's one of the reasons we're happy to have them as our weekly sponsor.
As the story goes, you're a lizard — either Spike or Lizia, based on your decision at the beginning of the game — and you've been traveling the world because of the great bug famine of 2013. So you're hungry. Real hungry. And you have to catch bugs in the air with your tongue.
It's not easy.
This is a game about timing. You have to jump at a certain time because you'll always travel the same arcs, but you also have to consider how fast the flies are flying and how far your tongue can reach. You get more points for more difficult to reach flies, and trust me, they're not easy to get. This is a game that will test your skills.
You've got a few different playing modes to choose from. There's multiplayer, real-time co-op and single player to choose from, and then you have 10 levels, 10 bosses and extra bonus rounds that you can unlock as well. Play with your pals via Bluetooth, Game Center or Facebook — pick your poison. Oh, and it's a universal app as well, so you can play it on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
But the best part about this game? The developers promise no in-app purchases — ever. Now that's impressive.
Get It Now!
Hungry Lizards is just $0.99 in the App Store, and it's worth every penny. It's an addictive little romp that you're sure to play for long stretches at a time, and it's free of in-app purchases. What else are you waiting for? Go get it now!
When I bought my black iPhone 5, I was ecstatic. I loved the matte black and gloss black finishes, and figured that there was no way that I'd ever put a case on such a beautiful device. I'm an adult, I can be careful, right?
Yeah, not so much. While I never had dropping issues with my iPhone 4S, I seem to be quite the klutz with my 5, and now it has little silver chips to remind me of my past mistakes. My wife's, meanwhile, looks brand new. Must be that fancy plastic case she has.
So what about you? Do you use a case on your iPhone? Let us know in the poll to the right!
It seems like when people want to start complaining about iOS, skeuomorphism — the concept of making digital interfaces that look and act like their real-life counterparts — always seems to come up. Sure, the Podcasts app was pretty rugged for a bit, and no one likes Game Center, but is it all that bad?
Well let's ask you. What do you think? Does skeuomorphism work for you or do you hate it? Let us know in the poll to the right!
WWDC is right around the corner, and when it happens, we'll find out all the good stuff on the latest versions of OS X and iOS. With Scott Forstall's departure and Jony Ive taking over revamping the OS, it seems like there are a lot of changes on the horizon.
But what are they? We've compiled a few of the ones we've seen across the web, and put them in this handy poll. Do you think that iOS 7 is going to be more of the same, or will it come with a lot of changes? Let us know in the poll to the right!
So you're out and about, searching for that special tool that you need to get your project done — a screw, piece of shiny fabric or whatever it is. You find it, but it's pricey, and you want to know if you can get it cheaper somewhere else. So you pull out your iPhone, take a shot of the item with CamFind, and sure enough, it's out there.
OK, now it's Tuesday and you're in a part of town where there are a lot of good looking restaurants with menus written in languages you don't understand. No sweat. Out comes CamFind, you take a picture and next thing you know, you've got a translation.
Alright, one last one. You're in a strange city for work, and you walk past a memorial to something that seems important. You want to know more, but there doesn't seem to be any pertinent info anywhere about. Pull out CamFind, take a shot of the memorial and it comes back with info on it. Like magic.
CamFind is a little bit of magic in your pocket. It can do all of the things listed above, as well as find reviews and trailers for movies; restaurant reviews from photos of their sign; find nearby coffee shops; and scan QR codes. It's got a lot wrapped up in a nice little package, making it an app that you'll surely want to have on your home screen.
Get It Now!
Did that peak your interest? No? Well how about this: it's free. That's right, CamFind is available for the low price of free, and it comes complete with all of those features. Is it the perfect app to have? Maybe. But it's definitely one you'll want to keep handy. I know it's changed my iPhone for the better.
Well, here we are, a few days later, and we can officially announce our winners of the promo codes for Beat Music Player. They are:
All of the winners have been notified via Twitter DM, so check your inboxes. Thanks to all those that entered, and be on the lookout for more contests soon! (more…)
The new iPhone should be out this fall, and per usual, there's a lot of talk about this next iPhone coming in more colors than just black and white. The iPod touch already has several color options, why not the iPhone, right?
Let's pretend that you're the person in charge of the decision. What do you think? Should the next iPhone come in more colors than black and white, or is it just fine as is? Let us know in the poll to the right!
The iPhone gave us the ability to have our music and our phone in one convenient location: our pocket. No longer did we have to juggle a cell phone and an iPod, it was all in one unit. But what about that Music app, huh? Not so great. It's one of the weak links in the iOS ecosystem, if only because it's just so clunky and awkward to use. If only there was a cool app that could take Music's place. If only …
Let me introduce you to Beat Music Player. First off, it's just a buck, so it's not pricey. Second, it's beautiful — and I don't say that lightly. The app not only has a great collection of clean and simple fonts, but every song plays against a spectacular etherial background. Oh, and there's the cool touch interface, too.
But let me back up a minute so I can give Beat its due. Let's say that you want to listen to an album on your iPhone, but you're driving so you don't want to have to check it all the time to switch tracks. Open up Beat Music Player, start the album and let the car ride begin. When you want to skip tracks, albums, playlists or any number of different tasks, just swipe the phone with your thumb to navigate through the various elements. And if you have your iPhone propped up on the dash, you can pick between a number of pretty backgrounds that won't distract you like album art might, but still provide a nice look. It's safer, better looking and easier to use than the stock Music app. That's good enough for me.
Get It Now!
We do a lot of weekly sponsorships here, but there's something you should probably know. We don't just do these reviews for everyone who wants one; we hand pick every one to make sure it fits our standards. That's why you should know that we picked Beat Music Player because it serves a function: play music on your iPhone, but do it better, cleaner and prettier than the stock app. Not only does it do it well, but so much so that it became my new primary music app.
If there's higher praise than that, I can't think of what it could be. There's no better way for you to spend a buck.

New Child Car Seat Guidelines Announced
March 22nd, 2011
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has issued new guidelines for child safety seats. Children should now ride in rear-facing car seats until they are 2 years old or until they exceed the height or weight limit for the car seat (found on the back of the seat). Other recommendations include securing children in a booster seat until their height reaches 4 feet 9 inches, and children 12 or under should always ride in the back seat. Read more about the AAP's new guidelines, and be sure to watch the video demo for proper car seat usage.

It's London's best kept gastronomic secret, a Spanish restaurant of unparalleled food and wine quality, and such fun too. Where do you go to escape the city for a day?Head south to Brighton, about 90 minutes from London. Have fish and chips on the beach then head to the famous Lanes shopping area for rare antiques and kitsch stuff. Where is the best place to get an after work drink?The Punchbowl in Mayfair is the nearest thing to a country pub you'll find in central London. No loud music, games or other nonsense. Just wooden floors, good pub grub, great beer and the possibility of seeing Prince William. It's one of his favorite "locals." Describe your perfect shopping experience.Harrods. I barely shop anywhere else when I'm in London. It has everything you could wish for, and they can get you anything they don't have in stock. It's the ultimate one-stop shopping experience in the world's greatest store. What's a good rainy day activity in London?Go and watch Arsenal play at the Emirates Stadium. It can be a depressing experience, but occasionally a joyful one too. Until you've experienced a top British football match, you haven't experienced sports.

A glass of Montrachet in the sunshine as Kevin Pietersen smashes a century against Australia – life doesn't get better.

The Thames at night, with London's wonderful skyline twinkling in the background, never fails to stir the senses. What is a quintessential cultural experience in London?Try the British library. It's a truly astonishing place with over 150 million items to peruse, from all corners of the globe. In your opinion, where is the best place to take a first date in London?I took my wife Celia to Julie's in Notting Hill for our first proper date. It obviously worked rather well! It's a delightful, very romantic restaurant.

October 3, 2011 | A team that includes NCAR scientists Anne Boynard and Alex Guenther has found that the rate at which plant canopies emit isoprene, a volatile organic compound, is influenced by circadian rhythms. The discovery has the potential to lead to more accurate predictions of ground-level ozone, which is harmful to human health.
For the study, the researchers made measurements of isoprene in Malaysia above both tropical rain forest and oil palm plantations. They observed for the first time ever a circadian (24-hour) rhythm operating in concert across the entire tree canopy, especially in the palm plantation.
The finding changes how scientists estimate isoprene emissions from plants, as both the palm plantations and rain forest emit less isoprene than shown by computer models of emissions. This has implications for ground-level ozone, which forms when volatile organic compounds such as isoprene react with nitrogen oxides from automobiles and industry.
The researchers incorporated the circadian pattern into the NCAR Model of Emissions of Gases and Aerosols from Nature (MEGAN) model to estimate isoprene emissions for input to ozone models. They then compared simulated ground-level ozone to observed ozone measurements from 290 monitoring sites in the United States. They found that model accuracy was significantly improved. Accounting for circadian impacts on isoprene emissions could especially improve ozone predictions in isoprene-sensitive regions of the world, which include the United States, Mediterranean, Middle East, Japan, and parts of Southeast Asia.
The research was published in Nature Geoscience in September.

Despite being one of the region's youngest programs, the University of Hong Kong's full-time MBA has already made a name for itself. By blending an Asia-focused curriculum with Western methodologies and international study opportunities at three leading business schools, the school continues to climb MBA rankings. The program topped The Economist's ranking of MBA programs in Asia for fifth consecutive years and came in at No. 27 in the worldwide listing. The Financial Times ranked it 29th in the publication's survey of full-time MBA programs.
Tuition fee: HKD 492,000
The 14-month curriculum allows students to select one of three tracks: London, New York or Hong Kong. All students spend their first month in Beijing for the China Immersion Program, which encompasses orientation and MBA 101 preparation. Students spend the next nine months in Hong Kong covering the Asia-focused core curriculum and enroll in four to five electives. Core courses range from Corporate Finance to Global Economy, while elective options include Business and Economics of G-20 and Asia and Legal Environment in Asia.
MBAs complete the program at London Business School/Columbia Business School/Fudan University or remain in Hong Kong, depending on the track they have chosen. All together students complete 11 core courses and 9 to 10 electives. HKU emphasizes an experiential-learning approach that pulls from business cases written by faculty and published by the university's own Asia Case Research Center.
Students with an entrepreneurial bent can take advantage of the Business Lab elective, which offers MBAs an opportunity to incubate business concepts and hear from entrepreneurs, investors and industry experts.

From the University of Hong Kong:
The full-time HKU MBA is an intensive 14-month program with three tracks: the London track, New York track and Hong Kong/China track.
The University of Hong Kong and its prestigious MBA program is a major participant in, and contributor to, the business culture of Hong Kong and mainland China. Today's MBA students demand an approach that sets them up for success both regionally and internationally and provides them with a learning experience that bestows upon them a first-class education, real-world experience, and a deep understanding of international business and the cultural differences and nuances therein. HKU's full-time MBA program is specifically designed to produce these outcomes. Our Asia-Pacific and China focus gives our students a unique advantage in building their careers in the region and beyond.
- Learn business where business is
The rapid ascent of Asia as the focal point for global business has created tremendous opportunities for individuals hoping to ride the Asian economic wave. While other parts of the world may remain apprehensive about their economic futures, Asia has become a market leader of confidence and prosperity.
The mainland Chinese come to HKU to look at their country from the outside and to learn the business methodologies of the West, whilst overseas students come to experience China and Asia firsthand. Both leave with the ability to relate their knowledge to the global playing field.
- Diversity is key
Our location in a city with such a rich business and entrepreneurial heritage constitutes an immense advantage for students.
Not surprisingly, Hong Kong has become a magnet for MBA students from all over the world. A significant percentage of our student body comes from overseas and mainland China, which produces an exciting and stimulating mix of backgrounds. All of our professors are distinguished in their fields and come from all over the world, creating a truly international experience.
- Partnerships
Our partnerships with such world-renowned business schools as London Business School and Columbia Business School offer our students unparalleled educational, experiential and networking opportunities. Our partnership with Fudan University in Shanghai nicely complements those opportunities.

The Faculty of Business and Economics is fully accredited by the European Quality Information System (EQUIS).
EQUIS is the leading international quality assessment, improvement and accreditation system for higher education institutions in management and business administration. Its fundamental objective, which is linked with the mission of the European Foundation for Management Development, is to raise the standard of management education worldwide.
Rather than focus on MBA or any other specific programs, EQUIS is broad in scope, covering all programs offered by a given institution, from first degree to PhD. Recognised worldwide, EQUIS has accredited 82 institutions in 28 countries in its first seven years of existence.
The Faculty of Business and Economics is also accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International, an association of educational institutions, businesses and other organisations devoted to the advancement of higher education in management. It is also the premier accrediting agency for collegiate business schools and accounting programs worldwide.
It is important to note that not all members of AACSB International have achieved accreditation. Only those that have been found to satisfy its accreditation standards are permitted to identify themselves as Accredited Members, a distinction that fewer than five of the world's business schools have achieved.
London Track with London Business School
Since its establishment in 2006, the London track of the HKU full-time MBA program, an intensive 14-month program operated in partnership with London Business School (LBS), has attracted universal praise. Students are guaranteed a place to study in London for three to four months after completing all core courses in Hong Kong.
Upon completion of the core courses, students opting for the London track spend a full semester taking up to five elective courses side-by-side with students enrolled in London Business School's MBA, EMBA and Master of Finance programs. They thus have access to the school's distinguished student, alumni and corporate networks as they participate in London-based events, meet illustrious business leaders as part of the school's famed speaker series and visit leading firms in the city. London Business School issues HKU MBA students with a certificate and official transcript and provides them with a wide range of alumni-affiliated services upon successful completion of the program.
Please visit here for more detailed descriptions of the courses offered by the London Business School MBA program.
New York Track with Columbia Business School
The HKU Faculty of Business and Economics and Columbia Business School (CBS) entered into a partnership in 2007 that allows a significant number of HKU MBA students to take a range of elective courses at CBS for a full semester. This partnership represents the culmination of a triumvirate of premier business schools working together to provide a world-class MBA education and create alumni networks in Hong Kong, London and New York – a manifestation of the natural synergy among the world's three major financial centers.
Upon completion of the core courses at HKU, students opting for the New York track spend a semester taking up to five elective courses side-by-side with Columbia MBA and EMBA students, giving them access to Columbia Business School's distinguished student, alumni and corporate networks as they participate in Columbia events, meet illustrious business leaders as part of the school's famed speaker series and visit leading firms in New York City. Columbia Business School issues HKU MBA students with a certificate and an official transcript and provides them with a wide range of alumni-affiliated services upon successful completion of the program.
Please visit here for a more detailed description of the courses offered by the Columbia Business School MBA program.
Hong Kong/China Track
Students who prefer studying in Hong Kong take all of their courses at HKU, many of them alongside our part-time MBA students, most of whom are employed at the middle/senior management level in regional companies. Working together with such experienced individuals gives full-time students a greater insight into the region and helps them to connect with potential employers.
Alternatively, students on the Hong Kong/China track have the option to take China-focused electives at Fudan University for approximately three months in the spring. Our partnership with Fudan University, a top-ranked university in China, provides students with access to all of the university's facilities and to the large pool of HKU IMBA alumni in China. In addition to classroom learning, students are exposed to various aspects of the Chinese business world through seminars, industry interfaces, real-world projects and enrichment workshops.
The HKU MBA's dual focus on Asia and China business renders the program highly relevant to the wider region's dynamic, ever-evolving business environment. The China focus is achieved through special courses with China elements, regional case studies, field trips, seminars and conferences, Chinese language training, company visits and the aforementioned Shanghai-based studies.
Teaching Methodology – Case Based Approach
The HKU MBA program adopts an experiential-learning approach, with the extensive use of business cases that enable students to become effective problem solvers and decision-makers in today's rapidly changing business settings. These cases are written by our own professors and are published by our renowned ACRC. The program's relatively small class sizes allow for extensive interaction and collaboration.

Andrea Fishman | May 19, 2010 | Comments
Are you taking advantage of all sources to advance your behavioral program?
Are you at the point where your on-site behavioral targeting program is pushing its boundaries for improvement? Conversion rates have been optimized and are starting to show less overall improvement - even as user traffic continues to grow?
Where do you look for the next step to improve site performance? Micro-segmentation? More A/B testing?
What about looking at an existing partner - one that has already invested in similar user-based targeting programs? Who is this unlikely partner? Your ad network. Yes, the one you spend dollar after dollar with, relying on their network of websites and affiliates to drive additional leads and visitors to your site.
In many cases, they have already done the heavy lifting of identifying your visitor and tracking their behavior - and have even delivered an ad or two based on pre-determined criteria. In developing your relationship with an ad network, you have already specified your target profiles - why not take better advantage of the data?
Once this visitor passes through their network and into your site - what happens? Where is all the data that they collected along the way? How well prepared are you to deliver a truly relevant experience to them? And how can you make the experience even more relevant by linking your onsite behavioral program with rich external data?
How much do you know about this visitor - the one affiliated with an ad network? For most businesses, their knowledge is limited to knowing what ad the visitor clicked on or what display ad the consumer was exposed to.
Is this helpful? Yes, of course. It allows you to deliver a corresponding landing page, offer, or some combination of both based on their last action. But what if you were to tap into their entire behavioral profile - and extend that to your site?
As ad network consolidation continues and major content providers look to sell and manage ad space directly to buyers, ad networks are seeking new audiences and opportunities to commoditize their data. Buying and integrating ad data from your ad network or third-party data provider may be the next step in the evolution of this complex relationship. In many ways, the ad networks have a unique opportunity to deliver not just targeted ads, but the profile and/or history of a specific consumer.
While this may seem like a compelling opportunity to enhance your optimization program - a few potential roadblocks to this panacea of targeting may exist:
For businesses that can handle this mass amount of data, consider engaging with your ad networks to see how you can take advantage of their insights and information.
If your organization isn't quite ready to take this step, take advantage of all the requirements you originally gave your ad network when establishing your original arrangement. Make sure that you're leveraging the same segmentation criteria as they are - and start testing. Even if you can't make the leap to taking their data, you can certainly test your original targeting criteria and optimize your spend.

With certain restrictions, the law gives employers and employees some flexibility to agree to a "different" version of some of the minimum standards under the Employment Standards Act, 2000 (ESA). This can be done through written agreements between employees and employers. In some cases, such as where employers and employees enter into agreements for excess hours or overtime averaging, other conditions such as obtaining an approval from the Director of Employment Standards will also have to be met.
The ESA allows employers and employees to make, for example, agreements to:
Throughout the ESA, where an agreement can be made between you and your employer, the agreement must be in writing unless otherwise stated.
Generally speaking, the agreement is valid if:
Signatures usually mean that you and your employer intended to enter into the agreement. However, your employer's intent could also be established by the fact that he or she drafted the agreement, and your intent could be established through other documents that you signed or sent to your employer.
Both parties to the agreement must understand it to mean the same thing. Ideally, an agreement should be specific and clear enough for an objective third party to understand what was being agreed to. Ambiguous agreements may be ineffective.
Some of the items that you should look for to be included in agreements:
In order for an agreement to be valid, the employee must have
given his or her informed consent. The best evidence of an employee's informed consent is that
the agreement itself accurately describes the consequences of entering into it.
The following are some examples of situations in which an employee may not have provided informed consent:
The following are some examples of where an agreement may be invalid because the employee entered into it because an employee has been unduly pressured into making the agreement:
What if I think my employer is not following the ESA?

A Wisconsin company is being sued by the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission over the company's requirement that its employees speak English on the job. The EEOC claims that Wisconsin Plastics, Inc. of Green Bay violated anti-discrimination provisions of Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act when it fired Hmong and Hispanic workers over the employees' inability to speak English, according the blog Judicial Watch. The Hmong are an Asian ethnic group from the mountainous regions of China, Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand.
"That's ludicrous and an overreaching of government," Irene Garcia, blog editor and Spanish media liaison for Judicial Watch told CNSNews.com. "If you are a private company in the United States, you should be able to require your employees to speak English." According to the EEOC, the provision of the Civil Rights Act that bans discrimination in employment based on national origin includes the linguistic characteristics of a national origin group. In a news release from the federal agency, Chicago Regional Attorney John Hendrickson said the company's English requirement is based on "superficial" reasoning.
"Our experience at the EEOC has been that so-called 'English only' rules and requirements of English fluency are often employed to make what is really discrimination appear acceptable. But superficial appearances are not fooling anyone," Hendrickson said. "When speaking English fluently is not, in fact, required for the safe and effective performance of a job, nor for the successful operation of the employer's business, requiring employees to be fluent in English usually constitutes employment discrimination on the basis of national origin — and thus violates federal law."
But fluency was not the issue, according to Garcia of Judicial Watch, who said the employees in question "were not able to speak English at any kind of level that would be considered proficient."
"In this case some English is necessary to communicate with supervisors and stuff like that, and the EEOC just went after this private company because some employees were being marked down for not having English skills," she told CNS News. "So that doesn't really make sense."

Orange qualifies as a lurker in terms of kitchen style.
It's been around for a long time but you don't see orange kitchens very often. And here's what's odd: while it's a friendly hue and a favorite fruit, many people will say it's too bold and energetic for a room that's actually one of the most conservative in the house. Still, anything ranging from adobe to apricot looks very fresh and transformational in kitchens these days.
Take this "juicy" modern one by Aster Cucine in a Long Island home, where citrus-orange has an active role on all-important vertical surfaces such as refrigerator panels, the island cabinet and a laminate backsplash. White (blizzard) Caesarstone counters and blocks of white cabinets are tempering elements plus there's a pop of taxi yellow. Whoever put together this combination in a living space surely was a fan of 1960s French designer Andre Courrèges, the undisputed champion of shiny vinyl orange.
A kitchen in Mexico features a strong red-orange wall behind the stainless steel cooking island. With pale wood base cabinets and open stainless-edged shelving beyond, the single wall of color sets up a desert sunset mood. Upholstered stools, and a Mexican textile runner on the dining table reinforce the casual, spirited agua fresca for the eyes.
This minimalist-plus-color showroom kitchen has mid-century modern overtones with its birch flooring and Japanese shoji screen partition (think Cooper's office in Mad Men). What cranks up an ordinary contemporary galley cooking space to something only a hipster would love is, without doubt, persimmon-color cabinets topped by a muted, variegated Euro-style backsplash. The amber-tone quadruple pendant fixture over the table dots the "i" and crosses the "t" in "it's so cool."

Long Zheng has spotted that Microsoft are preparing a Mediaroom client for Windows Phone 7. The are no real details yet but it could a streaming and remote scheduling application. Microsoft did show off a Windows Mobile version at CES so I guess this is a Windows Phone version of that app.
All the features are exactly what we want from a Windows Phone 7 Media Center app just like the one that won the Windows Phone developer challenge last month so we are waiting to see if Microsoft will take up the challenge and develop the application
Those who still enjoy their fair share of television entertainment through one of dozens Mediaroom-powered IPTV services around the world will be glad to know Microsoft already has a Mediaroom Client ready for Windows Phone 7.
A VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) document published on Microsoft's accessibility website reveals a software unambiguously named "Microsoft Mediaroom Client for Windows Phone 7 v 1.0".
Although the document itself reveals no features of the software, one can guess by looking at the Mediaroom client for Windows Mobile Microsoft showed off earlier this year at CES, you would be at least able to stream content from the service provider or content you've recorded on your own DVR.

Reviews for Sausage Brunch Casserole
Sort By :
"Everyone in my family likes sausage in their meals so I couldn't wait to try this casserole. It was a hit. This was so easy to put together. We had it for dinner but it would be good for any meal."
"Perfect breakfast casserole. Our family loved it this Christmas morning. I didn't have mushrooms so sauteed some diced red & yellow peppers to use instead. I did add extra cheese and made sure to use lots of extra spices like garlic, parsley, basil etc. Very versatile - you could use whatever your family prefers."
"Great have used for Chirstmas Morning"
"Hello! I originally submitted this recipe in 2003 and it remains my most requested recipe! Thanks to those of you who have tried it and submitted reviews. I also use canned tomatoes and many times leave out the mushrooms. Lately I have been trying different types of cheese....it always tastes great!Paula"
"I've made this recipe dozens of times since it was published in 2003. I lost track of it a couple of years ago. I'm excited to try it again now that I have found it here!! To use what is in my pantry I have used canned tomatoes instead of choping fresh ones."

Outlook 64 bit add-in does not work
I have Outlook 2013 64-bit on Windows 8 64 bit.
I successfully installed the todoist outlook add-in. When I select Options-AddIns, I even see Outlook TodoistADX under Active Application Add-ins.
But I am not sure how to create tasks, as I cannot see any todoist UI element under menus or toolbars.
Avinash Tauro
All responses
Hello Avinash,
When you're in the Add-ins menu, please click on "Go" at the bottom (next to "COM Add-ins") and you'll see another window - one that will have check boxes next to the add-ins' names.
Please check the box next to "OutlookTodoist" and this should activate it (and open the Todoist window on the right side in Outlook's Mail tab).
Best regards,
Hi David,
I followed the steps you mentioned. In the checkbox list i see that OutlookTodoistADX is already checked. (There is no OulookTodoist in this list but OutlookTodoistADX)
But i don't see a Todoist window.
Avinash Tauro
Please tell me, did you try to un-check it, reload Outlook and then check it back again? Also, did you try to reinstall our plugin?
Best regards,
Hi David,
Its working now. I'll take it for a test drive
Hi David,
Love it already. Got myself a premium license.
Thanks for your help

MaryD Radio Interview on Chatting with Sherri 05 March 2015Posted on: 6th March 2015
Today on Chatting With Sherri we welcome the talented bard, Mary
D. Brooks, to chat about her writing, her promotional video and her love
of the show Xena, Warrior Princess fan fiction.
by Aiglon
For those who are not proficient in the world of Xena, let me begin with a short primer. Xena is a peasant girl from a town called Amphipolis in ancient Greece. She began her life as a warrior when her village was raided by a warlord. She led the town to defeat the warlord, but just to ensure the future safety of her home she drove her army to conquer the surrounding villages. At some point, Xena lost the point of her warring ways, and it became a question of bloodlust and power. She became a ruthless warlord. It was her experiences with Hercules that convinced her to renounce her warring ways and seek to do good. Now, she roams the countryside, with her sidekick Gabrielle, defending villages and people under attack. She seeks to atone for the sins of her past by working for justice. Gabrielle is her friend, and serves as a moral compass for the former warlord.

It's that time of year again when I put a call out to authors,
artists and readers. Our annual Tiggster Starship Charity Auction is fast
approaching (way way too fast IMO). The 2015 Tiggster Starship Charity
Auction is dedicated to the show we love and to the Xenaverse which is
one giant family.
Come join me in raising a lot of money for Starship in honour of the Warrior Princess and her Battling Bard!
2006 when we had our first Starship auction we have raised $115K+ which
is pretty nifty. I know the Starship Foundation is so appreciative of
this annual event. They have gone out of their way to help and support
it. This annual event will be held once again on 21-27 March 2015.As
in previous years I am accepting donations of books and this year I'm
going to make it easier by including ebooks into the mix. If you would
like to donate your books (whichever flavour they are in), I'm more than
happy to accept them!In previous years we also had authors
donate a character's name to the auction. That has been so successful
where the winning bidder gets to name a character in an upcoming novel
KG Macgregor has done this on a few occasions and other authors as
well). So if you are an author and would like to donate a character for
your next book, please and thank you!If you would like to help
other budding writers with some help with their writing or give them a
helping hand etc etc - that too would be super. In a previous auctions
we had Steven L. Sears and Katherine Fugate donate their time to look at
and help a couple of script writers.
Are you an artist and would like to donate your work? Yes please and thank you!Some ideas (other than donating your digital or physical art) would be to help a budding artist learn from you.The
goal is to raise as much money as possible for this very worthy
organisation. I've gone to Starship a few times and they are an amazing
group of people so it's a real pleasure to hold this auction for them.So.
Spread the word, donate your books, artwork or a fictional character or
offer to help a budding author or artist with getting their work off
the ground - I'm more than happy to accept your donation!Thank
you and please share my note with any groups you belong to and your
friends. Let's spread the word and get ready for a 20th Anniversary

James Otto and Warner Bros. Nashville have mutually parted ways. James announced the split through his Twitter account on Monday. "Hey y'all Warner Brothers Records & I have mutually agreed it's time to part ways. More news to come shortly," James tweeted. He followed it with a statement regarding his departure.
"I have truly enjoyed the time I have spent working with Warner Brothers Records," James said. "The staff is comprised of many talented individuals that I am proud to also call my friends. I know there will be many exciting years ahead for WB, especially with John Esposito at the helm."
James, who had a No. 1 hit with "Just Got Started Loving You" in 2008, is positive about his future. He's planning an upcoming USO Tour and anticipates spending time with his six month old daughter, Ava.
"I am looking forward to my upcoming USO Tour in Iraq and Kuwait, while pursuing some new opportunities with my songwriting career," James said. "I will continue booking and playing shows throughout the year, and since becoming a new Dad, I hope to catch my breath by spending time with my wife Amy and 6 month old daughter, Ava, who is about to crawl any second! I don't want to miss it!"
James also had a Twitter message to his fans who expressed concern about what the announcement means. "No worries Ottomaniacs this is not the last you've seen/heard from me. Just a new chapter. Thanks for all the support & well wishes," he tweeted.
James' last album, Shake What God Gave Ya, was released in September. Fans can also hear James singing "Don't You Think This Outlaw Bit's Done Got Out Of Hand" on the Waylon Jennings tribute album, The Music Inside – A Collaboration Dedicated to Waylon Jennings.
