Part of New clause 1 – in the House of Commons at 7:15 pm on 1st April 1987.
The hon. and learned Member for Burton (Mr. Lawrence) spoke with his usual passionate eloquence which we respect and enjoy, but he fell into the error of misrepresentation when he dealt with terrorists. He suggested that my right hon. Friend the Member for Glasgow, Hillhead (Mr. Jenkins) had spoken about the psychosis of death. He did not; he talked about the psychosis of terrorism and answered the point that the hon. and learned Gentleman kept repeating in interventions. Terrorists are psychotic, which means that some do not care whether or not they face death and, possibly even worse, others want to face death and welcome the martyrdom of it.
Tonight we are debating how best to protect the public from murder, but it is a much more complex question than that. We are debating how best to protect the public from murder while maintaining a fair system of trial, sentencing and review by appeal. Let us not forget that since the abolition of capital punishment our system of appeal has developed by the introduction of the Home Secretary reference.
It would be a sick mockery if mistakes such as those which were listed by the right hon. Member for Manchester, Gorton (Mr. Kaufman) could be corrected only posthumously. It would not help the victim or his surviving family. The right hon. Gentleman mentioned the case of Geoffrey Mycock who was convicted in 1969 and released in 1984. I met him on two occasions before his case was reviewed by the Court of Appeal and on the day on which his appeal was allowed in the Court of Appeal.
Mr. Mycock had been convicted almost entirely on the basis of forensic evidence, consisting of the identification of fibres. After many years, it became clear that the forensic scientist who had given that evidence had been an unreliable witness on many occasions, particularly at that trial. There was a long campaign, which included work by Members of Parliament, to have that case and others reviewed.
When I visited Mr. Mycock for the first time, he was in Nottingham prison and had been in gaol for 15½ years, but he was very much alive. Indeed, he was alive with a lively determination which I judged could have been based only on the truth. When he reached the Court of Appeal on review after reference by the Home Secretary, the Crown did not even seek to argue that his conviction had been correct. As a result, he was released. He had lost 16 years of his life but he did not lose his life itself.
After a difficult period of adjustment, Mr. Mycock is leading a normal, private life in society. That error has been corrected in the way in which it should have been—by releasing him to make the best of what is left of his life. I feel a revulsion that the state should even countenance that he could have been killed and not have the opportunity to live the rest of his life at peace. His example is only one of many similar cases.
Those who support the new clause accept that they are prepared to face, on behalf of the state, the fact that such terrible mistakes could be committed. I am not, and that is one of the main reasons why I shall be voting against the new clause.
Secondly, I should like to turn to some of the practical difficulties which would arise if the new clause were passed. If a person kills and at the time of so doing intends to kill or cause serious injury, he is guilty of murder. That is the test of murder which is applied in our courts. It is surely in the public interest that all those who commit murder should be convicted of it. Once they have been convicted of murder, the public can be protected by a proper criminal justice policy and by proper examination of the murderers and their cases while they are in prison. The test of murder should be applied consistently; it is fairly simple; it can be and is applied consistently. What is murder in Newcastle is murder in Bodmin and anywhere else that one may care to mention in the country under the present rules.
Those who practised the law during the era of capital murder, although it could be defined quite easily and clearly, tell me that it was extremely difficult to obtain a verdict of guilty. It happened only in the plainest of cases, yet even then we know from the catalogue given by the, right hon. Member for Gorton that mistakes were made, even in what were thought to be the plainest of cases.
The new clause would lead to wrongful acquittals of murder, perverse acquittals of murder and acquittals of murder which would be the result of the lottery of the random selection of a jury.
The new clause is defective not only because of what it would cause but because of its drafting. Let us look at some of the words in the new clause:
in circumstances which a reasonable person would consider to be evil".
Does that include what happens before the killing, at the time of the killing or after the killing? Supposing a crime of passion is committed and in blind panic, as has happened, the murderer cuts up the body and does vile and ghastly things with it. As the clause is drafted, that person will be liable to execution for murder as a result of the things that he did after a dead body lay before him.

NEW YORK & LONDON, June 9, 2011 – Now that ultra-high speed trading in the US has reached a saturation point, the financial markets are entering a new era of quantitative research, strategy development and other targets of trade workflow automation. In a new research report published today, TABB Group says this will usher in a periodof trading with less focus on speed andgreater focus on hunting for patterns in a much larger, diverse sea of financial instruments, market-related data and use cases.
"We've reached the 'tip of the spear' on matters related to latency," says E. Paul Rowady, Jr., senior analyst at TABB and author of "Quantitative Research: The World after High-Speed Saturation." "We've reached just about as much speed as we're ever likely to know, at least within individual matching engines and between New York and Chicago. Everything else at the ultrafast spectrum is essentially a 'me-too' clone of the original opportunities." In the Far East, this tipping point will be reached at a faster pace "shortly after the last remaining cables are lit and matching engines are upgraded."
While speed is and will continue to be essential, the biggest challenges facing quantitative researchers are data management and the need for a single, unified, storage solution capable of meeting future requirements. According to nearly 50% of the quantitative research directors TABB interviewed for this report, simply dealing with the sheer scale of market, fundamental, reference, internal, broker and client data, not to mention research commentary, is the leading challenge they face in managing a quant research platform.
As old boundaries are tested and more quant-focused firms turn research efforts toward new types of strategies that include but also go beyond speed, the industry will see a greater emphasis on cross-asset, cross-regional, multi-temporal, asymmetric versus symmetric trades, even enhanced front-to-back automation, what TABB calls "multi-dimensional arbitrage."
In addition to algorithmic trade execution, Rowady learned that strategy development is where quant research is focused today and going forward. "Up to 70% of quant projects involve trade execution. At nearly 50%, strategy development will catch up if not surpass trade execution in the spectrum of quant projects."
Rowady writes that firms lacking infrastructure, expertise, budget or patience to "get down and dirty in the data" are missing the most vital component of the entire quantitative research process."The only way to tame the data beast and ultimately have a shot at enjoying success from quantitative R&D,"he says, "is through the quant toolbox – the combination of the immediacy, concurrency and multiplicity of data needs that cause so much complexity in trading infrastructures and impede improved value extraction from data."
"There's no single storage solution today able to handle what's coming," says Rowady. "Until then, quant teams must rely on multiple data stores that specialize in various datasets and crunch through exceedingly large datasets, in multiple physical locations to access the data they need to perform."
Drawing on interviews with 25 buy-side and sell-side directors of quantitative research, the research note explains why an era focused on ultra-low latency trading is coming to a close with the emergence of a new post-high-speed era. It examines how crowding out in the high-frequency space, coupled with contemplated regulatory maneuvers to slow trading traffic, are forcing quantitative research teams to search for slower forms of alpha. The report also addresses how the search for slower turnover trading strategies, along with quant applications to other areas of trading workflow, will result in more complex data management challenges, and therefore, a period of solution innovation to combat these challenges.

NEW PORT RICHEY — Newcomers are surprised when Karen LeGault gift wraps their purchase, fancy bag and all. Some of the regulars at Karen's Gifts are pleasantly taken aback when LeGault remembers them by name. And many of her customers, seasonal retirees, stop by to give her a hug before heading back north.
"Our people become friends as well as customers, and that's important in a small town," said LeGault, whose emporium of handbags, dolls, glassware and other delicate gifts has been on Grand Boulevard for 17 years.
"You don't go into Penney's and give the girl a hug and say 'See you in November.' "
Small-business owners often feel overshadowed by the big box stores in the Black Friday mania, even though they believe their specialized inventories and personal touch are a better deal for customers. So they hope to get shoppers' attention today with Small Business Saturday, a national campaign sponsored by American Express to promote mom-and-pop shops.
"We've got all these small businesses waiting for customers to come in the doors, and everyone is running out to Best Buy and Walmart," said Jim Smetzer, owner of Pasco Camera Exchange on Main Street. "On Cyber Monday they'll be on their computers buying things out of state. Small Business Saturday is really American Express' attempt to bring business back into the small stores, the downtown stores that really keep the community alive."
Some of the stores will have special sales today. Smetzer negotiated discounts from the manufacturers so he can offer a $140 Olympus camera for $80, for instance. A Canon camera with a telephoto lens that normally sells for $430 will be $380.
American Express sweetens the deal by giving customers a $25 credit on their next statement if they preregister their American Express card online and use it to buy something from a small business today.
Rob Marlowe, who owns GulfCoast Networking on Grand Boulevard and serves as New Port Richey's deputy mayor, spent the week preparing specially priced computers and unpacking small specialty items — blue and pink mice, notebook skins — he envisions as affordable stocking stuffers.
Inventory is only half of the picture, though. Marlowe said he spends time talking with customers about their computer needs so he can match them with the right model.
"That's a level of expertise you generally don't get when you walk into the big box stores," said Marlowe, who has been working with computers for more than 30 years. "In some cases you're buying a box off a shelf and you're on your own, or the level of experience with the salespeople is going to be vastly different depending on who you happen to catch."
No doubt the big box stores offer tempting doorbusters and other deals that are a hit with shoppers. But Joe Alpine, executive director of the West Pasco Chamber of Commerce, urges shoppers to consider the bigger picture. Corporate stores send their profits out of state, he said. Local businesses invest their money here, and often chip in by supporting local charities and community projects.
"We've been preaching this for years now, to support our community by purchasing locally," Alpine said. "And that's not just one day out of the year. This is something we need to be looking at throughout the year, every single day."

PODCAST: Compliance Flexibility Under The Clean Air Act
As the deadline approaches for the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) new greenhouse gas regulations on existing stationary sources under the Clean Air Act (CAA), one of the biggest objections is the added cost. How can compliance flexibility address these issues, and is there even room for flexible standards under the CAA? I sat down with RFF Resident Scholar Nathan Richardson to address these issues. He along with RFF Senior Fellow Dallas Burtraw and colleagues at Columbia Law School and New York University School of Law wrote a letter to EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson highlighting the possibilities of flexible standards under the CAA. The summary of the letter can be found in their discussion paper Prevailing Academic View on Compliance Flexibility under § 111 of the CAA.
Visit iTunes to download the full podcast for free or stream after the jump.
Highlights from the podcast are below:
"The main thing we said [in the letter to Lisa Jackson] is that the legal community in general – certainly not everybody and certainly not a consensus - but the majority of legal academics that have written and talked about these topics think that the section of the Clean Air Act that the EPA is using for this program allows for a lot of flexibility. EPA therefore has these tools. The limits of them aren't clear, litigation is likely anyway – those are important caveats. But EPA doesn't have to do a one-size-fits-all performance standard here. They can really grant a lot of flexibility, and states might be able to go a little further."
"EPA's not going to do cap and trade… but there are a lot of options short of that that could be really effective. One that we looked at at RFF is a tradable performance standard. Essentially it requires coal plants to get more efficient on average. The guys that get really efficient can trade to the guys that find it harder to do so, rather than each plant having to meet a certain specific standard."
"Dallas [Burtraw]'s research suggests costs would be something like 70 percent lower. This is only one form of flexibility – this tradable performance standard we've looked at, and it includes some assumptions that I think need a harder look. Nevertheless, I think the evidence is really strong. And it's not just total costs that his team has looked at. It looks like the effects on electricity prices will be smaller under a flexible performance standard. The amount of shutdowns of coal plants will be smaller… In terms of economic costs having fewer shutdowns in favor of efficiency improvements is usually going to be cheaper, and the flexible performance standard lets you get that. The coal fleet gets a lot more efficient rather than getting shut down."
"It's going to have to be a cooperative effort between the EPA and the states. If they can't come to an agreement, litigation is likely to result anyway, but if the states and the EPA can't agree on how to implement this, it's not going to work."

We can't say if it's true or not until launch because of the NDA.
Though we can say that originally, the Smuggler and BH could do missions for the opposite faction, but that was later changes. There was also going to be a third faction originally. Things change, and this may be one of them. Or it could be related to class quests. We just don't know.

Oxcarbazepine Pregnancy and Breastfeeding Warnings
Oxcarbazepine is also known as: Oxtellar XR, Trileptal
Oxcarbazepine Pregnancy Warnings
Animal studies have revealed increased incidences of fetal structural abnormalities and other manifestations of developmental toxicity (embryolethality, growth retardation), fetal malformations (craniofacial, cardiovascular, and skeletal), embryofetal death, decreased fetal body weight, and maternal toxicity. There is no evidence to suggest that teratogenicity in these studies was secondary to maternal toxicity. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy. Oxcarbazepine and its active metabolite, MHD, cross the human placenta. Oxcarbazepine is structurally related to carbamazepine, which is considered to be a human teratogen. Due to this finding and the results of animal studies, it is likely that oxcarbazepine is a human teratogen. Clinical response should be monitored carefully in women receiving this drug during pregnancy to ensure that adequate seizure control is maintained; determination of changes in MHD plasma concentrations should be considered, as levels may gradually decrease throughout pregnancy. To monitor the outcomes of in utero exposure to this drug, physicians are encouraged to recommend that pregnant patients taking oxcarbazepine enroll in the North American Antiepileptic Drug (NAAED) Pregnancy Registry by calling the toll free number 1-888-233-2334. Patients must enroll themselves. Information on the registry can also be found at the website http://www.aedpregnancyregistry.org/. AU TGA pregnancy category D: Drugs which have caused, are suspected to have caused or may be expected to cause, an increased incidence of human fetal malformations or irreversible damage. These drugs may also have adverse pharmacological effects. Accompanying texts should be consulted for further details. US FDA pregnancy category C: Animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks.
This drug should only be given during pregnancy when benefits outweigh risks. AU TGA pregnancy category: D US FDA pregnancy category: C Comments: -The prevalence of malformations in the offspring of women with epilepsy is 2 to 3 times that of the general population. The prevalence appears increased in patients on polytherapy. -The risk of having an abnormal child due to antiepileptic medicines is considered to be outweighed by the dangers of uncontrolled epilepsy to the mother and fetus. -Women on antiepileptic drugs should receive pre-pregnancy counseling regarding the risk of fetal abnormalities. -Antiepileptic drugs should be continued during pregnancy and monotherapy should be used if possible at the lowest effective dose for at least the first 3 months of pregnancy -Effective antiepileptic therapy should not be interrupted. -Folic acid supplementation (5 mg daily) should be commenced 4 weeks prior to and continue for 12 weeks after conception. -Specialist prenatal diagnosis, including detailed mid-trimester ultrasound should be offered. -Vitamin K1 should be administered in the last few weeks of pregnancy and to the newborn as a preventative measure against bleeding disorders.
Oxcarbazepine Breastfeeding Warnings
Use is not generally recommended; a decision should be made about whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug in nursing women, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother. Excreted into human milk: Yes Comments: The effects in the nursing infant are unknown. If used during breastfeeding, particularly in infants that are exclusively breastfed and in mothers on combination anticonvulsant therapy, the infant should be monitored for drowsiness, adequate weight gain, and developmental milestones.
Limited information suggests that oxcarbazepine would not be expected to cause adverse effects in breastfed infants, particularly if the infant is over 2 months of age. The active metabolite of oxcarbazepine, 10-monohydroxy (MHD), is also excreted into human breast milk; The milk to plasma ratio has been estimated to be 0.5 for both.

European eels (Anguilla anguilla) undertake an impressive 5 000 km long migration from European fresh waters through the North Atlantic Ocean to the Sargasso Sea. Along with sexual maturation, the eel skeleton undergoes a remarkable morphological transformation during migration, where a hitherto completely obscure bone loss phenomenon occurs. To unravel mechanisms of the maturation-related decay of the skeleton, we performed a multiscale assessment of eels' bones at different life-cycle stages. Accordingly, the skeleton reflects extensive bone loss that is mediated via multinucleated bone-resorbing osteoclasts, while other resorption mechanisms such as osteocytic osteolysis or matrix demineralization were not observed. Preserving mechanical stability and releasing minerals for energy metabolism are two mutually exclusive functions of the skeleton that are orchestrated in eels through the presence of two spatially segregated hard tissues: cellular bone and acellular notochord. The cellular bone serves as a source of mineral release following osteoclastic resorption, whereas the mineralized notochord sheath, which is inaccessible for resorption processes due to an unmineralized cover layer, ensures sufficient mechanical stability as a part of the notochord sheath. Clearly, an eel's skeleton is structurally optimized to meet the metabolic challenge of fasting and simultaneous sexual development during an exhausting journey to spawning areas, while the function of the vertebral column is maintained to achieve this goal.

If you have flown into Spokane International Airport (GEG) in Washington State, it's hard not to notice "the Cube," a strikingly modern glass-clad structure that houses XN Air, currently the only FBO on the field. Built in 2007, the 6,300-sq-ft building is part of the complex purchased by Ross Aviation early in 2011, which also included former FBO rival Spokane Airways. Ross merged the two–then competitors–into one operation under the XN Air brand.
Ross's modus operandi is to acquire an FBO and leave its name and management intact to preserve continuity for the location's customers. That strategy worked well for general manager John Chastek, who has been at the airport since 1988. At that time, there were two struggling FBOs: Flightcraft and Spokane Airways, and the latter eventually bought out the former. XN Air began at GEG in the early 2000s first as an avionics shop, and then adding full FBO services as it began to build modern facilities, including the Cube, as it is fondly referred to by staffers. In a virtual replay of the late 1980s, both FBOs at the small-market airport suffered when the economic downturn hit in late 2008. Locked in a struggle for survival, they scrimped to reduce overhead, until Ross bought both businesses, allowing the newly consolidated facility to focus on restoring its service levels. "It had been a fiercely competitive market and a lot of resources were drained in trying to maintain market share and stay in business," Chastek told AIN. "We have a little more latitude and a lot of support to provide the best possible customer service and attention to detail."
In addition to inheriting Chastek in its Spokane Airways purchase, Ross also received the airport's commercial airline fueling contract. XN Air now handles all fueling at GEG, drawing from the airport-managed 850,000-gallon capacity tank farm. The Avfuel-branded dealer operates an extensive fleet of jet-A refuelers (two 10,000-gallon-capacity trucks, two 8,000-gallon tankers, four 5,000-gallon tankers and three 3,000-gallon tankers) and a pair of 750-gallon avgas trucks. According to Chastek, avgas now represents 10 percent of the FBO's fuel sales, half the total from just a few years ago. "It's a small market by FBO standards and is not quite up to the 2007 levels, so we're still in a recovery mode," he said.
Quick-Turn Service
Used as a bomber training base during World War II, Spokane International Airport (known then as Geiger Field) can handle virtually any aircraft on its 11,000-foot-plus main runway and 8,200-foot secondary runway. The current XN Air complex occupies more than six acres on the airfield, including more than 50,000 sq ft of hangar space, which is home to several turbine aircraft, among them a helicopter and a Learjet 60. Since Ross purchased the facility, several of the older hangars–which can house aircraft up to the size of a Bombardier Global–have been upgraded with new siding and the addition of updated electrical and sprinkler systems. The location has ample room for expansion, something Chastek said is being monitored closely. "We've got our finger on the pulse of the need for storage hangars over the next several years," he said, noting that occupancy levels currently fluctuate from 100 percent in the winter to approximately 70 percent in the summer.
The location has a staff of approximately 50 people, most of whom have five to ten years' experience in the aviation service industry, and is open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., with after-hours callout service available. The FBO, which sees approximately 10 flights a day, specializes in quick turns for aircraft heading up and down the west coast, to and from Alaska and Canada. The airport has a dedicated U.S. Customs facility for arriving aircraft, and to expedite matters, XN Air's NATA Safety 1st-trained line staff can provide aircraft servicing right on the customs ramp.
Those passengers who choose to enter "the Cube" will find a passenger lounge, concierge services, A/V-equipped 10-seat conference room, available business services, complimentary Wi-Fi and satellite tv, onsite car rental, and a small gift shop featuring local foods. Among its offerings, XN Air offers onsite catering through its partnership with Hangar 77 Bistro, which leases a kitchen in the facility. According to Chastek, it can fulfill virtually any passenger meal request given enough notice, and also provides lunch service at its restaurant. Crew amenities at the location include a pilot lounge, snooze room, showers, laundry service, flight-planning room and crew cars. The FBO has negotiated with many hotels in the Spokane area to provide significant discounts. A shuttle service to the commercial terminal is also available for crew swaps.
Aircraft Solutions, a new company at the airport, offers aircraft sales, charter and management, Part 145 maintenance, avionics, aircraft upholstery and detailing services. These services were previously provided by the FBOs before the Ross acquisition.

LEMOORE -- Cal Lutheran didn't have any trouble with its nearly 300-mile bus trip to Lemoore on Friday, but when the C-Hawks found themselves in the red zone later that night, more often than not, they stalled.
Facing a team as imposing defensively as any they've played this season and missing one of their top offensive players for all of the second half, the C-Hawks were shut down in an 18-6 loss to Lemoore Kings Christian in a CIF-Southern Section Eight-Man Large Schools semifinal game.
Cal Lutheran (9-3) failed to score on four of five trips inside the Crusaders' 15-yard line, and it turned the ball over three times, all in the first half.
"We really killed ourselves," said Cal Lutheran coach Dave Peter, whose team fell one win short of a championship-game appearance for the third straight season. "You can't do that in the semifinals. I don't think we weren't prepared, but that's just how it goes."
The C-Hawks managed just 98 yards offensively after the half, as the loss of senior running back and linebacker Brett Grunow severely limited their ability to move the ball. Grunow, who scored Cal Lutheran's only touchdown on a one-yard plunge in the first quarter and factored in the team's two first-half interceptions, suffered an injured collarbone on Cal Lutheran's second interception, just before halftime.
Robbie Willis tipped a David Polder pass that ended up in Grunow's hands, and as he raced up the right sideline, he suffered a hard hit to the right shoulder area.
"He's our emotional and physical leader, so that hurt us a lot," Peter said. "But our guys still responded and played pretty well."
With Cal Lutheran's offense struggling, its defense shouldered the burden to keep the game close.
Until Leonard Cotton's two-yard touchdown run with 2:13 left in the fourth, Cal Lutheran was in striking distance all of the second half. Polder's 7-yard scoring pass to Michael Washington with 4:33 left in the second quarter gave Kings Christian a 12-6 lead but was the only offensive touchdown the Crusaders (11-0) scored in a span of nearly 46 minutes of play.
Their other score came when Washington returned the opening kickoff 74 yards into the end zone.
Kings Christian hasn't been held to less than 40 points in 10 previous games this season.
"Both teams played great defense all the way," Willis said. "That's what kept us in the game mostly."
The C-Hawks' best offensive performance came from Willis, their sophomore quarterback. With no player able to accumulate more than 42 yards on the ground, the C-Hawks went to the air, and Willis completed 11 of 30 passes for 164 yards. His completion percentage would have been higher if not for a handful of drops that cost Cal Lutheran in critical situations.
"We figured we could pass underneath," Peter said. "We knew they were too fast for us to beat them on the long ball, but we figured if we could get some good comebacks and deep outs, we'd be successful. Robbie did a great job."

Wolves Season Ticket Members Get Closer to the Action
New Season Membership Campaign Tips Off Monday vs. Miami Heat Highlights Include Players in Ad Campaign with Ticket Members, Great Pricing, New Membership Levels & 10% Playoff Refund
Minneapolis/St. Paul Get closer. This is the opportunity/promise that the Minnesota Timberwolves Basketball Club provides its season ticket members, and differentiates the organization from all others. Wolves season ticket members get closer to the action on court than any other professional sport. Wolves season ticket members get closer to the players without the interference of distance, equipment or barriers. And, Wolves season ticket members get closer to the team and its players through benefits only available to them. To this end, the Minnesota Timberwolves will launch their Get Closer season ticket membership campaign on Monday, March 4, the same day the Wolves host the defending champion Miami Heat at Target Center.
After last seasons extremely successful Everyones Talking About the Wolves campaign in which the team sold more than 2,000 full season ticket memberships for the third consecutive season, the Get Closer ticket membership campaign highlights the unparalleled access afforded only to Wolves season ticket members.
The Get Closer campaign will initially hit the Twin Cities market through a television campaign featuring Wolves players in casual conversation with actual Wolves season ticket members. The ads demonstrate the ability of season ticket members to Get Closer to Wolves players, and the connection between the teams players and its members. The first television spot, featuring Wolves guard Ricky Rubio, debuts Monday during the Wolves-Heat telecast. Other players in the television campaign include: Andrei Kirilenko, Nikola Pekovic and Greg Stiemsma, and more ads will debut later this month.
Media is welcome to access and utilize the Rubio commercial, behind-the-scenes footage of its making and still photos by visiting the Wolves Media FTP site:

We are proud of the fact that the Timberwolves have always been one of the sports industry leaders in fan engagement, and have always provided our season ticket members ways to Get Closer to our players and team, said Timberwolves President Chris Wright. Through our new levels of season ticket member benefits, we have allowed our members more access, more benefits and a greater ability to Get Closer to our entire organization. We are taking membership with the Timberwolves from 43 Target Center home games to a 365-day relationship with benefits throughout the calendar year. With our membership benefits, affordable pricing and a 10% playoff refund, we believe now is a tremendous opportunity to become a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves Basketball Club.
Through the newly launched season ticket membership levels, fans have the opportunity to receive exclusive benefits, perks and programs that allow them to Get Closer. These new membership levels (Presidents Club, Diamond, Sapphire, Platinum, Gold), which are based on season ticket levels, are only available to members of the Minnesota Timberwolves Basketball Club. The Timberwolves recognize that membership means more than attending 43 games a season at Target Center. Wolves season ticket memberships provide access and benefits throughout the entire calendar year.

Truthers, Birthers & Deathers Got Nothing on Racers
I want to state this unequivocally for those who are just tuning in: Truthers, Birthers and, now, Deathers are crackpots, wingnuts and feeble-minded fools who find it easier to see vast, sinister and complex conspiracies where simple truths are the lone reality.
And while Truthers are probably the most active and vocal group (thank you, Ron Paul (R-TX)), they, like Rep. Paul, are far from being a part of the establishment.
But now, thanks to an appearance by our very own Tony Katz on MSNBC, an establishment-wing of super-wingnuttery has been identified: The Racers.
Don't like government spending? They'll call you gun-toting racists.
Don't think tax hikes will fix the economy? They'll call you a tea bagging racist.
Protest Obamacare on Capitol Hill? They'll call you an N-Word shouting racist.
And when crackpot worlds collide, like calling on the President to release his Birth Certificate ... you're a racist. Even though, in this instance, the establishment accuser asked the exact same question months earlier as the crackpot birther.
The problem - for America - with the Racer Movement is that it's not a fringe movement. Bill Maher, Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Janeane Garofalo, NPR, the New York Times, CBS and all the other Race Card-loving individuals and institutions are part of the establishment. (Well, maybe not Garofalo & Olbermann anymore, but even the biggest circus has its clowns). The Racers are not a fringe movement that shows up at events to shout down ideological adversaries. The Racers have the power to destroy.
The Racers host television shows and the Racers run newspapers. Like Truthers, Birthers and Deathers, they can level their baseless charges. But unlike their crackpot brethren, they are the Manhattan-Beltway opinion makers.
And until now, the Racers have been able to get away with their behavior. But now the Racers have to contend with the likes of Andrew Breitbart and thousands of citizen journalists who are circumventing the mainstream media and taking simple truths to an audience that is tired of baseless accusations and complex conspiracy theories.

70 degree temps in March aren't the norm for us in the Chicago area, but seriously, who's complaining!? (btw…this tree doesn't usually bloom until late April!)
I haven't officially switched out my fall/winter wardrobe for the spring/summer one yet, but I do have a few dresses (like this one), that end up getting used year round. Adding a button-down tied at the waist, and some sandals, makes it perfect for these gorgeous days!

Well you seem to be asking two different things here, so far as I understand. Q: Can I login to multiple Jabber accounts at one time? A: Yes, and you can login to the same account from two different places as well. Q: Can I send a message to everyone in a group in my roster? A: Yes. This would be client-specific. I imagine that many clients offer this feature. I can speak first-hand about Psi. If you right-click on the group name, you are given the option to "Send message to group". Check the docs of your favorite client to see if it can do something simlar. And somewhat related: Q: Can I assign the same person to more than one group? A: Yes, and again this is client-specific. Psi, for example cannot do this assignment (but it will honor it if done in another client). Kopete, IIRC does let you do this. -- Psi webmaster (http://psi-im.org) im:hal at jabber.rocks.cc http://halr9000.com

In this audio resource, Rashmi Sinha, the founding CEO of SlideShare talks about lead generation, user ratings, B2B social networking, making sharing beneficial to community members and encouraging meaningful discourse by discouraging anonymity.
Topics addressed:
00:47 -- Rashmi Sinha's previous appearance on the Supernova Podcast, hosted by Christopher Carfi on Blog Talk Radio, where much of the discussion focused on object-oriented social networking, and what makes these types of services different from more popular social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook and MySpace.
01:15 -- As in the real world, and particularly in a business-to-business context, interaction is usually focused around a particular activity, like a meeting, convention or demonstration. Popular social networks like Facebook and Twitter, when interaction is not focused around a specific activity, are sometimes awkward because there is no construct for that experience in the real world, where exchanges are organized around actions.
02:07 -- SlideShare branded channels, a new area of the site which allow organizations to establish a custom, micro-site with their own look and feel inside the service, so they can engage with the broader SlideShare community. Microsoft and Adobe have established their own branded channels, as has the White House and the Pew Research Center's Internet and American Life Project. As part of the launch, SlideShares new branded channels are now open to other organizations and brands by request, which at the time of this podcast can made be submitting a form within that section of the website.
03:09 -- The majority of SlideShare's community members are business decision-makers. Community members use the service mostly in a business context, since the social network is designed to host, share and promote discussion around PowerPoint presentations, which are used mostly in business to help make a point. As a result, SlideShare is primarily a business-to-business social network. On Feb. 6, 2010, just days after SlidShare's branded channels launch, there were 11 featured business channels, 2 featured education channels, 4 featured nonprofit channels and 1 featured event channel.
03:54 -- The Slideshare Virtualization Channel, a new, curated channel put together by the B2B social networking service is one of many they intend to add over the coming months, to provide organizations with an opportunity to associate their product, brand or service with premium content appealing to a specific business audience segment by way of a sponsorship.
04:49 -- According to Rashmi, Facebook is a personal social network that has been edging towards business. Twitter is a social network that has always had a mix of personal and business applications. And Linkedin is a social network that is completely professional, with no room at all for personal interactions. She calls SlideShare a social network occupying the space between Facebook and Twitter. She acknowledges that SlideShare is very business oriented, but says that because it is such a visually oriented network where the most popular presentations usually incorporate a great deal of personality and flair, the service is conducive to interactions that are more personal than on Linkedin.
05:49 -- SlideShare may be business-to-business, but the service's real strength is its ability to promote business with personality. For example, on SlideShare's homepage, the presentations that tend to rank high, combine a great deal of personality with their subject matter, rather than more dry, reference-type presentations, which may be packed with relevant, useful content, but are often suffer from dense copy block, too few images and no real visual punch.
07:12 -- From a user-interface standpoint, there should be no difference between a B2C and B2B social networks, according to Rashmi. She reminds us that as is true in all forms of social media, ease of use drives adoption. And popular social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter are benchmarks for just how easy a social networking service needs to be to lure members. We have become accustomed to interacting with others online in a certain way, and if a B2B social network is going to be successful, it should be as user-friendly as popular online social media.
08:21 -- Connecting with perspective business customers in hopes of generating leads is the dominant behavior on SlideShare and Rashmi says her B2B social network is built around that purpose. Presentations are used to pitch products, brands and services. They support more extended, in-depth explanations. Display ads may work to entice you to click and go somewhere, but they can't walk you through the types of explanations that are typical of more complex products and services. It is the explanation that determines the length of a company's sales cycle. At this point, presentations are a good consultative sales tool, since they make it easier for marketers to incorporate the various business processes, case studies and best practices decision-makers like to appraise when evaluating business products that could be incorporated into a company's everyday processes.
10:17 -- Currently, from a measurement standpoint, Slideshare reports the number of views, embeds, favorites, comments and downloads. In the future, the company plans to report referrals as well and offer more in-depth reporting capabilities.
11:29 -- People upload their presentations on the site not just to share them with their existing business partners, but to get in front of other members they may not know, but who may have a need for their products and services. As is the case with popular networking services, if you see other members there who you want to connect with, it encourages you to join. So the network effect is just as important in a business-to-business social networking environment, as it is on Facebook and Twitter. For business-to-business marketers, niche networks may also have additional value by aggregating a more targeted, premium audience.
12:20 -- Rashmi reveals the typical pattern by which SlideShare embed codes wind up getting used to display member presentations. First, members tend to embed their presentations on their own sites Then they tweet it out or share it on Facebook. Next, people who find them on SlideShare may embed those presentations on other sites. The owner of the presentation tends to embed it only on their own side. But if it's good content it just takes off. Slide share offers numerous ways to syndicate presentations. But the quality of the presentation, as determined by the SlideShare community, determines how broadly it permeates online. In some ways, this makes it impossible to game SlideShare to generate leads. "Your content has to be good," says Rashmi. "We provide the tools for sharing, but if your content is getting distributed everywhere, it's because your content is good."
14:31 -- In a business to business social networking environment, the absence of spam is a key component of getting people to comment. The quality of conversation must be high. "People have higher standards for B2B sites than on B2C sites. They don't want to put up a professional conversation in a place where they might encounter trolls," says Rashmi. She also points out that not all comments about SlideShare content occur on her company's site. Those conversations can and do take place on Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin as well.
15:42 -- In contrast to the SAP Community Network (featured in a previous episode of this podcast about B2B social networks), SlideShare manages their community by hosting a forum for discourse, with ease-of-use as a core focus.
16:28 -- Rashmi estimates that while only about 20% of the presentations posted on SlideShare get comments, 60% of all presentations draw either comments, embeds, favorites or downloads.
16:55 -- Rashmi Sinha has mixed feelings about user ratings as a feature, so SlideShare opted not support that option. She references a Sept. 22, 2009 YouTube blog post which reveals that site users, generally, are more inclined to grant YouTube videos five stars than any other rating. In some cases, if they really dislike a video, they'll give it one star. But people seldom rate videos two, three or four stars.
On the blog Social Commerce Today, a Jan. 21, 2010 post titled "YouTube & The Death of User Ratings" by Paul Marsden offers the following interpretation:
"Psychologically, it's far less taxing on the brain to give feedback in simple binary likedislike form, and binary feedback is arguably easier to turn into a useful format to inform choices. And culturally, binary feedback is less open to cultural bias, as anyone who has done a balanced scorecard review will know. Americans overrate, Germans under rate." Marsden argues that when it comes to online social networking, likedislike ratings are more valuable than star ratings. He prefers to, "... leave ratings to professional reviewers -- it's what they're trained to do...."
As a side note, this opinion is in stark contrast to Mark Yoltan's, who says that on the SAP Community Network, a business to business social network recognized as one of the most successful in the world, user ratings actually improve our performance, because poor user ratings in a public environment serve as a wake up call to either improve the product or encourage those who like it to rate it highly. Perhaps this is more a function of just how important what I'm rating is to me. Could it be the more professionally relevant what I'm rating is, the more willing I am to invest the time to give it a star rating? Any thoughts on this out there?
As far as Rashmi is concerned, she choose the simple favorite button as the best practice for drawing in members to rate presentations. But perhaps most important is the fact favorites and comments drive presentation downloads. "When you have a lots of favorites that means that you are showing up on the screens of people across the site, because if I favorite your present station, your presentation will show up in my area of the site. So you get a lot more distribution when you get favorite and commented upon," says Rashmi.
18:19 -- Tech-oriented content is the dominant subject-matter on Slideshare.
20:09 -- And it's the visually attractive and provocative presentations tend to draw the most downloads on Slideshare. Shift Happens is a presentation uploaded by Jeff Brenman three years ago is a great example of the type pf presentation that tends to do well on SlideShare. As of Feb. 6, 2010 it had been viewed 901,425 times, received 258 comments, 2237 favorites, 79,092 downloads and more than 10,000 views on various sites where the presentation has been embedded.
Rashmi Sinha says high quality presentations that are long and rely on dense copy block with fewer images tend to draw less attention, even though they may be packed with great information. the premise supports the notion that good media is quite different from good research. The former promises quick insights, while the latter arrives at a perspective by covering all aspects of a rational process, but requires a more significant time investment.
As a side note, this argument reminds me of Steve Rubel's 2009 interview with Shel Holtz and Neville Hobson of For Immediate Release: the Hobson and Holtz Report, in which Steve said that as a result of he is looking to shorter, more abbreviated media formats to connect with broader audiences, suggesting infographics as a format he is interested in experimenting more with. From a sociological standpoint, filtering information through one's online social network seems apt to promote the rise of pithy, sensationalist content, as EPIC 2014 predicted.
23:08 -- Rashmi Sinha has learned a great deal about what it takes from a legal perspective to protect intellectual property rights in a B2B social networking environment. SlideShare does receive Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) complaints, but they are very infrequent. From the beginning the service has sought to encourage responsible sharing of content. Presentations on SlidShare are much more popular when they're downloadable, and content owners have the option of whether or not to make their presentations downloadable when they post them. "Overall, we've put in the hook for people to benefit from sharing their content and set up a positive loop so that if you go and share your content, you are getting rewarded from it. Which means that often, the person sharing the content is the creator of the content or has the copyright," says Rashmi.
24:09 -- When people share under their true identity, which is predominantly the case on SlideShare, and it would follow would be the case in most business-to-business social networking environments where lead generation is an primary objective, people are less likely to violate copyrights then they may be in environment where participants can achieve their goals anonymously. In a social network where people use their real identity, you get much more responsible actions and much greater respect for copyright.
24:53 -- The biggest misconception people have about B2Bs social networks is that the ease-of-use, functionality and usability standards for them can somehow be less than what they are in popular B2C social networking sites. People have a certain way of using the web, and they want the same ease-of-use and they get from a B2B social network as they get from a B2C social network.
25:51 -- Currently, Rashmi says the "white paper download" is the dominant paradigm for online B2B marketing. But she also it's really a broken paradign. Because you forfeit your e-mail address and contact information before you know whether or not the content is worthwhile. SlideShare solves this problem by adding a layer of social networking. Most favorites and commented content, rises to the top, making it easier to find and more likely it's worthwhile. And you don't have to relinquish your e-mail address either. Rashmi calls the SlideShare approach more permission-based, rather than interruption-based, which business buyers are more resistant to.
28:11 -- End

If you were denied a proper Cotillion or never had a chance to be presented at the debutante ball, it's not too late for you. You can still learn how to act and behave politely from Philip Galanes (@SocialQPhilip) who writes the Social Q's column in the New York Times every Sunday in Style Section. Social Q's offers lighthearted advice about awkward social situations and is sure to prepare you to present yourself appropriately in social circles.
In this interview:
Philip's new book "Social Q's: How to Survive the Quirks, Quandaries and Quagmires of Today, " which comes out November 1, 2011.
How Philip's book is different from Dale Carnegie's "Win Friends and Influence People" and Emily Post's "Ettiquette" which were both recently revised for the digital age.
Are companies like Facebook and Netfilx being rude when they change their services?
Snooping on your friend's Facebook feed without leaving likes or comments, showing your humanity, chiming into the newsfeeds of younger Facebook friends.
Appropriateness of married men friending married women without friending their husband first.
Mattheis Lufkens's Twitter Diplomacy at Le Web last year showing that not all heads of state follow their own ministers. Is that rude?
Geno Church who's daughter used Facebook and her cell phone to plan and actually run way from home. When it comes to monitoring how your children use social media, is it rude to set up software to monitor your child's online behavior without disclosing it to them?
Using smart phones in social situations.
In the world of search marketing, the term "black hat" refers to a search marketer who uses unethical practices to try and game search algorithms to come up first. But what if those marketers come from other countries and cultures where unabashed capitalism is NOT necessarily frowned upon? Are they still unethical, or do we need to adjust our expectations of fairness?

I know what you're thinking. Private social networking is stupid. Be open. Right? But there are plenty of situations where private social networking actually makes a heck of a lot of sense.
Think about it. Today, we use activity streams on social networks for marketing, sales and customer service. But there's nothing private about Facebook, and if you could social network with your coworkers and business partners privately, you could do more with less. But how do businesses social network privately? How do you get your own private Facebook?
In his keynote at Dell's B2B Social Media Huddle in London last month, Brian Solis said that he never shares information that gives him a competitive edge.
So what do you do if you want to use activity streams for collaborating with your coworkers and share proprietary information? Email is great for person to person communications, but it's a lousy collaboration tool. Is there a safe way to build your own, private social network? Google Wave was an early attempt at private social networking, but it was before its time.
Salesforce.com introduced Chatter, its exclusive social networking service as an extension of its SaaS CRM platform 2010. And in February 2011, it made its private social networking service free.
Access to a safe activity stream in a private social network behind a firewall brings new efficiencies and added productivity to the workplace. In this audio resource Robin Daniels, (@robin_daniels) VP of Product Marketing, Chatter talks about...

Well, I was GOING to.
A journal entry convinced me otherwise.
I do still have to meet my friend today who's coming upstate for a visit; it will help immensely.
So. A day to recoup; a day to rethink; a day to reframe.
And then work tomorrow. I've made some headway with this thing; no reason not to give it a little time to simmer while I eat ice cream with my friend.

T.Y. Hilton looks nothing like Wayne, either. Hilton is 5-9, allegedly 183 pounds. He could fit in Wayne's lunch box, or at least his locker.
Yet the big man and the little guy both consider Wayne the gold standard when it comes to the pure art of catching a football. Given Wayne's 13-catch, 212-yard, game-winning show against the Green Bay Packers last week, it's no wonder he has followers. Of course, those followers came long before the latest great Wayne game.
"I don't try to do what Reggie does in any way," Allen said. "(But) on game day and definitely in practice, any tips I can get from him, I steal from him. I look at him as far as his catching routine in practice. Then he goes out and plays lights out, anything that's coming his way, he's coming down with it."
Wayne and the Colts (2-2) will play at the New York Jets at 1 p.m. Sunday in MetLife Stadium.
There's little question that Colts quarterback Andrew Luck has leaned heavily on Wayne. Wayne has a team-high 36 catches for 506 yards and two touchdowns.
As Luck goes into New York, however, he'll face a Jets defense intent on trying to take away, or somewhat limit, Wayne's opportunities. That means one of two things: Either Luck will keep going to Wayne anyway, perhaps forcing things and risking interceptions, or he'll need to mix things up even more with Allen, Hilton, Donnie Avery and Coby Fleener.
Given Luck's intelligence, I'd lean toward him looking for alternatives if and when Wayne is being smothered.
Allen and Hilton would be the next-best choices.
Allen has shown fairly soft hands for a tight end. He has 10 catches for 76 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He's surprisingly nimble for a man of his size, yet has the type of power to fight through tacklers and come up with plays in traffic.
Allen and Fleener (13 catches, 139 yards) were expected to provide the type of quality tight end receiving production that seems to be increasing.
"Progressively, our roles have grown bigger and bigger and I think that's the way they wanted it to be," Allen said. "Coming into this offense, the tight end has a lot of jobs. If coach (Bruce) Arians put everything on us in the beginning, I don't think we have progressed as far."
Hilton, meanwhile, looks to be on his way to push Avery as the No.2 wide receiver. Avery is more experienced and is second (albeit distantly) to Wayne with 17 catches for 198 yards. Hilton has eight catches for 165 yards (a team-best 20.6 yards per reception).
Hilton was inactive for the first game and played little against Minnesota, but caught four passes for 113 yards against Jacksonville to become the NFL's first rookie receiver this season to break 100 yards. He caught three passes for 37 yards against the Packers, including a big catch late in the game.
The Colts' increased use of the no-huddle suits Hilton well. He says he's more comfortable with the no-huddle than a more deliberate approach.
"A lot of things are coming into play (on offense)," Hilton said. "Watching film is helping a lot, especially with a great guy like Reggie Wayne, who helps us out. Play-calling is becoming much easier, the playbook's becoming much smaller. The game is slowing down for me and the rest of the team.
"The more you study, the more the game slows down," Hilton said.
The more Colts receivers of all shapes and sizes study Wayne, the more likely they'll be to see Luck's passes coming their way.

Teijin Fibers Limited | Swany America Corp.
Johnstown, NY (January 22, 2009) — Teijin Fibers Limited, a Japan-based global polyester polymers, fibers and textiles company and Swany America Corp., a leading manufacturer of ski gloves and mittens renowned for their enduring construction and cold weather performance, announced today the launch of a closed-loop recycling program for used polyester ski gloves. As part of the collaboration, Swany America will use Teijin Fiber's ECO STORM, a recyclable, waterproof and breathable material made from recycled fibers laminated with a highly durable thin polyester film, for a new glove in its 20092010 winter lineup. The ECO-X the world's first recyclable ski glove will be available at retail stores in the United States, Canada and Europe beginning in September 2009.
This joint program also will include the collection and recycling of used products through Teijin Fibers' recycling system, called ECO CIRCLE». Customers will be invited to mail their worn-out ECO-X gloves to Swany America using special envelopes supplied at the time of purchase. The gloves' polyurethane palms will be cut off at Swany Warehouse in Johnston, New York and recycled domestically. The remaining polyester parts, such as shells, insulation, waterproof and breathable inserts and hollow core inner linings, will be sent to Teijin Fibers' Matsuyama plant in Ehime Prefecture, Japan, where they will be chemically decomposed and converted into new polyester raw material at a recycling facility.
The ECO CIRCLE system incorporates the world's first chemical-recycling technology to decompose polyester for conversion into new polyester raw material offering purity comparable to that derived from petroleum. The repeatable recycling system reduces energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 80% each compared to the production of polyester materials from petroleum.
ECO STORM is the world's first recyclable, high-performance waterproof and moisture-permeable material made of recycled fibers. As it is made of polyester, ECO STORM can be recycled with ECO CIRCLE. With hydrostatic resistance of 20,000mmH2O and moisture permeability of 15,000g/m2 in a 24-hour period, ECO STORM is ideal for sportswear, outdoor gear and uniforms. Swany America's ECO-X, however, will be the first ski gloves made with ECO STORM.
Teijin Fibers, which registered the 100th member in its ECO CIRCLE recycling program last year, aims to expand its presence in the global sportswear industry. Together, Swany America and Teijin Fibers plan to enhance their commitment to environmentally friendly initiatives with the targeted launch of four items made with ECO STORM for Swany's 20102011 lineup.
Swany America will exhibit ECO-X at the SnowSports Trade Show (SIA.09), which will be held at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas from January 27 to January 30.
About ECO CIRCLETM

Genital warts are the most common viral sexually transmitted infection (STI). They are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV) which can be passed on during sexual contact. Not everyone who has the virus develops genital warts.
For most people, including those who have visible warts, the virus will be cleared from the body over time. It is rare for genital warts to cause any long-term health problems.
This page gives you information about genital warts, what you can do if you are worried that you might have HPV infection and advice on how to protect yourself.

By Gabrielle.
Hands down, the nape of the neck is my favorite. The one that belongs to a fresh new baby after a bath, smelling wonderfully powdery and kissable. The one that swirls up into the tiniest pigtails during ballet class. The one that peeks out between painfully hopeful middle school topknots. The one that grows up and begs for a haircut every holiday season so it can make a grand entrance on Christmas Eve. "It's me again! And don't I still look and smell wonderful…not to mention kissable?"
The holidays tempt me toward that nape. Always.
Even though I attempt to pull my hair up into the tiniest of buns while I work from the sofa, and pretend it looks amazing, it's officially (sigh) not long enough. And while it's too late to grow my hair for Christmas and New Years, it's never too late to cut it! : )
Are you the same way about napes? Are you the same way about napes during the holidays? Will you be getting a hair cut or trying any updos this month? Please do share links if you have a favorite tutorial.
Maybe I just need a jade hairpin!

What is TDS / Conductivity?
Conductivity is an expression of the ability of a solution to conduct electric current. It is expressed as a microsiemen (micro-Siemens per centimeter or µS/cm) or in higher conductivity levels as a millsiemen . 1000 µS/cm are equal to 1 mS/cm. Some industries such as water treatment have adopted a measurement expressed as TDS (Total Dissolved Solids). TDS is approximated with conductivity using a multiple factor and is expressed in parts per million (ppm).
How is TDS / Conductivity Measured?
Conductivity is measured with two surfaces in contact with the sample. These surfaces can be constructed of graphite, stainless steel, platinum and other similar materials. An AC voltage waveform is sent through one contact of the sensor (Sending) and passes through the liquid being measured. The second contact surface (Reciever) receives the signal. The resulting measurement determines the conductivity of the water and is displayed on a conductivity instrument which expresses the measurement as microsiemens, millisiems or total dissolved solids (ppm).
Another sensing method uses an inductive 2-coil system encapsulated in a plastic case to send and receive the signal from the instrument. This inductive system, known as a toroidal conductivity sensor, can eliminate polarizing effects that may affect the measurements of a contacting conductivity probe.
Why is TDS / Conductivity Measurement Necessary?
From controlling biocide and scaling in cooling towers and boilers to the water you drink, conductivity plays a part in a multitude of applications across many industries.
Common Applications:
- Monitoring reverse osmosis (RO)
- Chemical concentration monitoring
- Cooling tower & boiler protection
- Environmental monitoring
- Industrial effluent monitoring
- Control of activated sludge process
- Profiling conductive dissolved solids content in water

The Graduate School in partnership with the Office of the Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies and the Office of the Provost opened an office for postdoctoral training (PDO) in January of 2008. The Michigan State University PDO is directed by Antonio Nunez, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs in the Graduate School and it endorses the definition of a postdoctoral scholar that was jointly adopted in 2007 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The definition sees a postdoctoral scholar as:
"An individual who has received a doctoral degree (or equivalent) and is engaged in a temporary and defined period of mentored advanced training to enhance the professional skills and research independence needed to pursue his or her chosen career path."
Consistent with that definition the MSU-PDO's mission is to provide the necessary resources for principal investigators to become effective mentors and for postdoctoral scholars to develop the professional skills necessary to establish themselves as independent investigators.
