The experience of 99labels, a fashion e-retailing site controlled by InfoEdge—the same company that owns India's largest job search site, Naukri.com—is key to understanding big changes sweeping the e-commerce sector. According to 99labels founder and CEO, Ishita Swarup, marketing budgets at the company have been cut to one-fourth of what they used to be around December 2011. "We have gone completely off mass media for marketing, and focused only on social media, primarily Facebook," said Swarup. Till December, 99labels was marketing heavily on radio as well.
Last year, a multitude of e-commerce companies were burning money, advertising heavily and throwing cash at anything that could help them scale faster. Then, the slowdown caught up with them and the fountain of investments slowed down to a trickle, leaving them gasping for survival.
In the first 10 months of 2011, $829 million was pumped into the sector, but in November, according to data of research consultancy firm VCC Edge, private equity players invested only $57 million in 12 deals. In December, that number was $16 million, climbing feebly to $24 million in January. "Last year the money was flowing. However, most players had no roadmap for profitability. Since October, most PE firms that had earlier been bullish on the market have been in wait and watch mode, making money hard to come by," said the CEO of an e-commerce company.
The current slowdown has been a moment of reckoning—yet a blessing in disguise for many who were once happy with running unprofitable business models amidst a glut of venture money. Now, however, the cash crunch has forced many—such as Yebhi, 99Lables and Fashion&You—to look at other avenues to generate cash, by cutting flab and scaling down expenses which they couldn't afford earlier anyway.
This means growth has slowed, says Swarup, but that's a good thing for 99labels. "Till December, we were growing in the high double digits. This has now come down to below 10 per cent. And yet, we are finally making money," Swarup adds.
Ditching big marketing spends of the kind that Swarup earlier mentioned is one big reason for companies now being able to put their heads above water. Mahesh Murthy, venture capitalist and founder of online media marketing agency, Pinstorm, feels that the biggest problem with marketing spends incurred till now has been that the return on investments (RoI) have not justified the expenditure.
Even today, Murthy accuses companies like Jabong of spending more on marketing than their overall revenues. "Jabong is currently spending Rs 75 crore on just online marketing, with average daily transactions at 6,000," he said. Then, there's Flipkart. With revenues of Rs 5,000 crore last year, it is still one of the biggest spenders on TV and a partner company promoting Indian Idol on Sony.
Even online advertising can send money down a black hole, says Murthy. The industry average cost of a click is estimated anywhere between Rs 12-Rs 15. This means, to generate 100 clicks, a company spends Rs 1,500. Again, on average, for every 100 clicks, only one person buys a product. This means to make money off the one consumer, there have to be at least 8-10 repeat buys, he says.
Prashanth Prakash, of Accel Partners, which has invested about $30 million in just the ecommerce space in India till now, says the cuts were inevitable. "It has now become imperative that companies look at metrics they have till now ignored so they at least start chalking out a road to profitability," he says.
This could mean several different things. 99Labels, for example, has decided to blacklist anyone who turns away an order for no 'justified' reason. "The merchandise returns pile up inventory levels, which then have to be given greater discounts, thus creating problems," says Swarup.
Others have morphed their business models in order to survive. Snapdeal, which boasts of 16 million registered users and 30,000 transactions a day, is no longer a 'deal site'. "We started products on a small scale and then they took on a life of their own. We are now looking to become the biggest e-commerce site in the country," says Kunal Bahl, CEO, Snapdeal.
Snapdeal, which has just ended a six-week marketing campaign, says it runs the biggest digital newspaper in the country, given the strength of its registered user base and has therefore no desire to burn money on additional marketing. "The email system, is a great way of consumer engagement—it keeps us within the periphery of the buyer's vision and helps us tap into spontaneous buying as well," says Bahl.
Myntra, the fashion catalogue website that aspires to go from the current revenues of Rs 80 crore annually to Rs 500 crore in the next year, plans to launch a private label to help it get there. "Launched at a cost of $5 million, the label will help improve our margins from the current 37 per cent to almost 45 per cent, because we will control the entire line," says Ashutosh Lawania, co-founder, Myntra. The private label to be launched by December, will be sold only on Myntra. The production of the line will be outsourced. Myntra will choose designers and ensure quality control.
In the lifecycle of a business, it sometimes takes successive failures to learn how to succeed and today's e-commerce companies are lucky enough to be forced to navigate that learning curve.

Different to a report unveiled earlier this month, a new pricing scheme for Phenom X4 processors would mean that AMD is ready to undercut similar Intel "Penryn" quad core processors when they are released next Monday.
The new Phenom processors are based on the K10 micro-architecture and will be aimed directly towards Intel's Core 2 family. On launch date you can expect three models to be available, all Phenom X4s which means they will carry four cores and a 2+2MB L2/L3 Cache: the 9700 (2.4GHz), 9600 (2.3GHz), and 9500 (2.2GHz).
According to sources close to AMD distribution channels we got word that volume pricing for these processors would look like this next Monday:
Phenom X4 9700 / 2400MHz / 4MB Cache / 2000MHz HT / 125W - $279
Phenom X4 9600 / 2300MHz / 4MB Cache / 1800MHz HT / 95W - $269

WEST: Affirmative Action, not ability or experience, elects President Obama
Monday, November 25, 2013 - Allen West: Out of the Foxhole by Allen B. West
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Florida, November 25, 2013 – America elevated Barack Obama to the highest position in the country to eradicate any sense that this nation judged anyone based upon the color of their skin.
However, this great nation was so dedicated to pressing forward and forgetting past injustices, we allowed affirmative action to take hold at the highest level.
The fundamental thesis of Shelby Steele's book White Guilt aptly applies to the case of Mr. Obama. The guilt that white America – primarily white liberals—wanted overcome and wash away created the first affirmative action presidency. It is not that standards were simply lowered; they were, and remain, non-existent for the first African-American president. And any questioning of President Obama is deemed as racist.
In our rush to forget the past, we forgot to demand standards and qualifications of the person seeking to be the leader of the free world. There was no inquiry of his past, many records were sealed, and no rhetorical statements were challenged. How could it be that the President of the Harvard Law Review never wrote a paper for that esteemed student-run law journal?
As a result, measurable standards of success have had to be redifined and the new normal means higher unemployment, a lasting and anemic economic recovery, and a foreign policy that has seen America's credibility all but destroyed.
But it wasn't just here in America. The Nobel Prize committee bestowed their coveted Peace Prize to an individual without a single accomplishment.
Here in year five of his presidency we are told that repeating a false statement over 30 times is not lying – it's just "misspeaking." Our employment is stagnant and we are slowly becoming a part-time employment nation.
How many times have we had this President of the United States stand before the American people, and state, "I don't know" or "I just found out about this same as you did?"
Is this incompetence or intentional?
Clearly President Obama lacks the resume and qualifications to lead this great nation and its people. But of greater concern is his political philosophy of governance: progressive socialism. Winston Churchill said "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." Perhaps that explains why Obama shipped Churchill's bust back to mother England.
So what happens when you elect an unqualified president? Well, you get Obamacare for starters.
On top of that, rather than an ability to govern and lead, you get arrogance and disdain manifesting itself in edicts and executive orders. And you get comments like "If you've got a business, you didn't build that."
And now, in the mold of a naïve Sir Neville Chamberlain, our unqualified president has surrendered and conceded to the number one state sponsor of terrorism, Iran. The late night smugness in trying to convince the American people, the world, and our allies that somehow this negotiation with Iran has shown Obama possesses some type of diplomatic skill is laughable. Once again he has portrayed weakness and eroded American trust and credibility.
American influence was once prominent and important in Libya, Egypt, Iraq and Syria, but has now been destabilized and weakened by President Obama and his failed policies. He may be able to read from a teleprompter, but he obviously never reads history and its application to the modern world.
In this case of affirmative action, it seems only to apply to blacks acceptable to progressive socialists. For black conservatives, the standards are immeasurably higher and yet disdained. Consider the resumes of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, Senator Tim Scott, Condoleeza Rice, Herman Cain, Dr. Ben Carson, Judge Janice Rogers Brown, and even the father of black conservatism, Booker T. Washington, and how these exceptional and accomplished men and women are demonized, vilified, and viciously attacked by white liberal progressives, their media accomplices, and their black allies.
It is unconscionable to see white liberal acceptance of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson but rejection of those in the black community who refused to accept liberal patronage as, "clean, articulate, light-skinned, or not having a negro dialect."
Affirmative action represents the most racist of policies. In effect it says because of the color of your skin, you are not capable of competing. It abandons the American principle of equality of opportunity and replaces it with the failed progressive socialist concept of equality of outcomes.
As it has been applied to enabling the elevation of President Barack Hussein Obama to the highest office in the land, the outcomes are equally dangerous for us all.

I am one week post op. I had a reduction and lift. I think my PS did a remarkable job, but I am concerned that I am not small enough. I wore a 32D before surgery and was spilling out of that, so I probably should have been in a DD. My breasts were so saggy and I always felt out of proportion for my petite frame. I asked for a reduction to a B cup, but honestly, I can't tell anything has been... READ MORE

text: Posted March 20, 2013 · Report post My acne is fairly mild and well-controlled with The Regimen, but I'd like my skin to clear up completely so I'm looking to add some supplements. My diet is pretty good in my opinion, lots of variety, lots of greens, lots of protein, etc so I don't think I'm missing too much but I figure it couldn't hurt to try to add some more nutrients. However, the plethora of existing threads on this subject are a little...overwhelming lol. Could someone suggest some simple supplements that might help me get all the way clear? I've heard good things about zinc, but I'm on doxycycline right now and I've heard that they don't work well together. I've also heard good things about EPA, Selenium, and fish oil. Also, has anybody tried the "Perfect Skin" supplement by Genuine Health? It was recommended by the book "The Clear Skin Diet" and I've been considering it, but I think I'd like to start with something simpler first like a zinc supplement.

Disney Animation Cels
Disney animation cels are what Picasso or Van Gogh is to painting except, instead of canvas, animation is done on clear plastic sheets. They are not cartoons but works of art just like the paintings.
Cels are short for celluloid, which is a clear plastic material on which an animator draws a character to show one frame of an animated film. Disney uses 24 frames to film one second of screen time. This is done to show clarity of the image and great color. Back in the 1930s at the Walt Disneys Studios cels were only intended to last long enough for production use. After that they were washed and used again or were thrown away, so having an animation cel from that time is very rare.
Before 1940, which included movies such as Snow White and Pinocchio, cels were made of nitrocellulose which is a very unstable flammable material. Starting with Fantasia cels were made with cellulose acetate which is considered a very safe substance. In 1937 in San Francisco. Courvosier Gallerys and Disney made a majority of cels available to the public. These included Snow White, Dumbo, Pinocchio, and Fantasia. These cels were matted with fine paper and backed with wood veneer. At that time these cels sold for about $5. Today these pieces could bring $3,000 to $5,000 a piece.
In 1955, the year Disneyland opened, in a section of Tomorrowland there was a area now long gone called the Art Corner which sold Disney animation cels from films such as Lady and the Tramp and Sleeping Beauty with prices starting at about $1.25. To think, you could own a hand painted piece of art that was actually used in a Disney animated feature for such a small price. Hand painted backgrounds were around $5 dollars. If we only knew, for those of us that were around then, you could have borrowed about $200 dollars and you might be comfortably retired right now!
In 1961 xerography (copying) was used heavily for the first time in 101 Dalmatians. It was also used very sparingly in the 1959 Sleeping Beauty. This process eliminated hand inking and saved a lot of money. This process continued all the way through the mid 80s when computers took over and cels were eliminated completely.
Now Disney animation is done strictly for retail sales only. Cels can be found at any Disney Store nationwide for a few hundred dollars. If you are looking for a production cel, which is a cel that was used in a Disney animated feature, you will have to contact a fine art gallery. A few of my favorites are Fantasies Come True, S&R Labs and Creative Moments. Expect to pay a thousand dollars and up for vintage ones anything from 1937 to 1967.
The most desired Disney cels are of the villains and heroes, especially the villains as there are fewer cels of them made per feature. The best cels are the ones that are facing forward, full figured (head to toe), have there eyes open, and of course a great expression on there face also helps. Also, any cel that has been autographed on its mat by the animator that drew it will command a very high premium. Cels autographed by Walt Disney are very expensive as his autograph alone may bring a $1,000 to $1,500. If you are looking for a Walt Disney Autograph, PhilSears.com is the best authority on Walt Disney Autographs and has many fine examples for sale.

As a millennial in the nonprofit sector, I'm often asked to offer insights into the perspective of my peer group. Not assuming that my personal preferences are indicative of an entire generation, I find myself looking for research on millennials. Recently, I've read:
- Millennial Donor Research by Achieve Consulting and Johnson, Grossnickle and Associates
- Youth and Young Adult Market Research by MOJO Ad
- The Millennials: Connecting to America's Largest Generation by Co-Authors Rainer and Rainer
We, as Millennials, are relationship-oriented. That's why we love technology – it helps us connect with people we care about. So, don't expect to recruit us as volunteers or solicit us as donors by simplistic attempts through social media. Sure, meet us where we are, but don't forget to be formally introduced to us – through someone we know. We trust the advice, referrals, and endorsements of our family and friends. Remember that we value people!
We, as Millennials, are accustomed to accelerated rates of change. We embrace transformation as a fact of life. That's why we love trends – they help us keep up with what's relevant. So, don't expect to convince us that your cause is compelling with a quick story and a statistic. We need to know that what you are doing matters right now and that you offer a contemporary solution to complex social problems. Remember that we value relevancy!
We, as Millennials, are optimistic achievers. We want to make the world a better place, and we think we are capable of making it happen. That's why we love getting involved – it helps us to use our skills to benefit others. So, don't expect us to sit back and wait for an invitation from your organization. We'll just volunteer with another organization, or we'll start our own initiative. Either your nonprofit will benefit from our commitment to service or someone else will! Remember that we value postive impact.
The Millennial Generation is on track to becoming the most influential generation the United States has ever seen. Is your nonprofit ready for us?

I am about to start a brand new sitefinity site with a small team of 4 developers and 2 UI designers. We are currently looking into the best environment set up for us. I've found a few articles that suggest everyone has their own local database's but not a lot on source control.
I've read about the code sync and code deploy offered by telerik for an additional license. Has anyone used it? Is it worth the extra cost?
Our client already has TFS set up and prefers to keep all the code in their instead of going the code sync and deploy route. Does anyone know if there is some documentation out there on what all is required to get an environment up and running using msbuild and tfs?

BOSTON—Joe Colborne emerged from the Maple Leafs dressing perhaps a tad perplexed at why the hockey media wanted to talk to him.
"If you guys know I'm getting in the lineup, I'd like to know," said the young centre.
Of course, Leafs coach Randy Carlyle is not giving away secrets. But he had announced to the media only moments before that there would be changes up front.
This was after a practice in which Colborne centred Clarke MacArthur and Matt Frattin while Frazer McLaren and Colton Orr skated without a centre.
Feel free to draw your own conclusions.
"Ever since I've been called up, I show up every day, work my butt off," said Colborne. "If the opportunity is there, I'm going to jump on it and run with it. Whatever the coaches see as the best opportunity to win, I will support."
The idea of Colborne being a difference-maker in Game 2 might be a bit far-fetched. It's not fair to pin those hopes on a rookie, no matter how highly regarded he happens to be.
But it is a delicious notion, considering the way Bruins fans throw it in Phil Kessel's face whenever Tyler Seguin scores.
Colborne was the result of another Leaf trade with Boston, one that sent Tomas Kaberle — who was past his best-before date — to the Bruins for Colborne and a first-round-pick.
Colborne himself was a first-round pick — 16th overall in 2008 — but one whose development was slowed by a wrist injury. His AHL numbers looks bad. But most of his 14 goals and 28 assists this season came after is wrist healed finally around Christmas.
At 6-5, the 23-year-old has the size down the middle the Leafs need to face Boston. He's dying to get into the playoffs and to face his old team.
"So bad," he said. "Even with the history of Boston. You could feel the intensity up in the press box. There's so much pride we have. I know it (Game 1) wasn't the best foot forward. It's a seven-game series."
He came up through the ranks — rookie camps, training camps and with Boston's AHL affiliate in Providence — with a lot of Bruins. Brad Marchand, Tyler Seguin, Adam McQuaid and Tuukka Rask are just a few he's crossed paths with in the Bruins fold.
"I had a great time when I was in Boston. They're a character-heavy team. They've proven that."
With only a handful of NHL games on his resume, Colborne could find himself thrust into the limelight in a series that seems a little lopsided in Boston's favour.
"We knew it was going to be a battle," said Colborne. "Boston has give us some problems over the last few years. They're a great team for a reason. They've won the Stanley Cup. Those guys have experience.
"We're trying to learn as we go. I don't think there's any switch you can flick, they stepped their game up to another level. We have to find a way to match it."
Leafs coach Randy Carlyle didn't want to say anything about whether he thought Boston's Andrew Ference deserved supplementary discipline for his head check to Mikhail Grabovski in Game 1.
"That's up to the league. I learned a long time ago you don't make comments that are directed towards the league's upper management at the league level."
I asked him how much that "lesson" cost. "Ten thousand. I had to write the cheque. My wife wrote it, actually. I got raspberries for opening my big mouth."
Asked if the playoffs brought out the best in some players, Randy Carlyle pointed to Boston's Wade Redden, a noted Leaf killer from his days with the Senators and the feel-good story of this playoffs.
Redden was banished to the minors for three years for the sin of agreeing to be paid too much by the New York Rangers. In the minors until last year, his salary didn't count against the cap.
As a free agent, he signed a new (more modest) salary and is back in the NHL. He got a goal and an assist in Game 1.
"There's always heroes that emerge within the games over the course of the series," said Carlyle. "For a guy like Wade Redden, ostracized from the game in a lot of ways, comes back in and is playing his first playoff game in three years and scores a big goal and gets an assist. Those are the things that happen."
Then Carlyle turned to his Leafs.
"We expect them to play the game to a higher level than they did (in Game 1)."
THE VIEW FROM BOSTON: Claude Julien
On how to take advantage of another team questioning themselves for the next few days.
"I don't know if they're questioning themselves. I guess we're all assuming that, but I'm not. Like I said there, Randy's (Carlyle) going to make some adjustments and I said it before and I said it I think the last time I was in Toronto, it's a good team and I've been extremely impressed with the direction the Leafs have gone this year and sure Randy's done a great job and the players have bought in, but it just goes to show you that when you play as a team what can happen. So, that's why I'm standing here and telling you right now, we're not overconfident, we're none of that stuff. We know it's going to be a tough series and we just got to be ready to grind it out."
On the value of having a coach like Carlyle.
"There's some experience there at winning the Cup and those are things that he can share with his team, but at the same time I know he's demanding, but once the players see the rewards that they reap from it, they're happy to do it and I think he's done a good job of getting the philosophy that he wanted with that team and that's why they're in the playoffs."
JAMES REIMER: "Sometimes you have to flush it. You learn from your mistakes. You go over it and see what you did wrong. There's no point dwelling on it. The sun came up this morning. It's a new day. We have a new opportunity on Saturday."

DIMANNO: Leafs character is on the line


text: Here are some of the keys to the victory:IU had a 53-30 edge for the game, including 24 offensive boards. They almost had as many offensive rebounds as Michigan had baskets (27).Indiana got extremely physical inside. Cody Zeller was particularly assertive in getting Mitch McGary and Jordan Morgan in foul trouble. The Hoosiers were relentless when it mattered most.The bench struggled offensively in the first half (0 points, 0 assists, 0-for-8 shooting), but really picked it up in the second half. Will Sheehey had 10 points. Jeremy Hollowell had five. They combined for eight straight points in a crucial second-half stretch.IU struggled to shoot 35.1 percent in the first half, in part because it missed 14 layups. In the second half it was 17-for-33,mostly because it got the ball to Zeller, who was 6-for-10 in the second half.IU trailed by five with 52 seconds left on the road against a team that hadn't lost at home all season. It found a way to win. It showed the kind of resolve crucial for postseason success.

Social Security: When To Start Taking Benefits
I have been dong some research on Social Security and was planning on writing an article. But I found a good primer to which I provide the link (plus other links). We are an RIA (Registered Investment Adviser) and along with our investment and wealth management services we provide clients with overall planning services. It is important to have an overhead view of ...
your finances in order to make the best possible decisions, decisions that can dramatically affect the rest of your life. Some decisions are permanent, so it is best to be careful. One of these decisions is when to take your Social Security benefits. As noted in the article "56% of men and 65% of women filed for sometime before the full retirement age of 56 in 2011 (the most recently available data)." That can be a big mistake. You can read the article, published by Morningstar, which offers a good basic understanding, and if you would like more personal assistance in looking at your "big picture," please call us at 412-367-9076.

Your Lunches Can't Compare To These Incredibly Healthy And Delicious Meals
I'm pretty sure most people would agree eating healthy is not always an easy thing to do.
However, a little planning can really go a long way when it comes to staying on track.
My trainer introduced me to meal prepping several years ago.
Several pounds lighter and a thousand Tupperware containers later, I can honestly say this little trick will make eating healthy a hundred times easier.
If you're not familiar with meal prepping, let me fill you in.
It basically involves planning and prepping your meals in advance for the week so you can save time each day and keep track of exactly what you eat.
Plus, you can use a scale to perfectly portion each meal and simplify the process of calculating your macros and calorie intake.
While meal prepping used to be something mostly used by athletes, it is now more mainstream than ever.
In fact, this eating trend gained a lot of momentum on social media, and now a lot of people show off their healthy habits on Instagram with #mealprep and #mealprepdaily.
Take a look at the pictures below to see some meal prep that will inspire you to join the meal-prep movement.
If you've been staying on top of the latest Instagram trends…
…you may have noticed some pictures showing lots of food-filled Tupperware containers.
No, these people don't just have a lot of leftovers from dinner.
These health-conscious eaters are simply getting in on the latest meal-prep craze.
If you're not familiar with meal prepping, it's a pretty simple concept.
It involves planning out and prepping all healthy meals for several days at a time…
…and storing each perfectly portioned meal in a container.
Having all your meals ready to go…
Will save you time on cooking during the week…
…and help you keep track of exactly what you eat.
You can keep your meals relatively simple and stick to the basics like chicken and veggies…
…or get creative and whip up a week's worth of gourmet meals.
Meal prepping is the perfect diet solution for people with busy schedules…
…because these portable meals let you eat healthy, even when you're on the go.
Plus, if cooking isn't really your thing, there are even some companies that will do it for you and deliver all your meals right to your door.

The daily grind: 9-13-13
The Daily Grind provides daily match-up advice for tinkerers and daily fantasy players. I welcome advice to help make this column more effective, including notice of impending weather events, new injuries, and changes to platoon situations. Ownership rates are from Yahoo!
The daily picks are a mixture of Daily League specific advice and information for the more typical fantasy owner.
Today's weather watch
Pittsburgh has a 30 percent chance to see some showers, but otherwise the excellent August weather is expected to continue.
Today's grind
Internet outages interfered with yesterday's column. You'll want to take a look at Charlie Morton, Danny Salazar, Jon Niese, and maybe David Hale if you're desperate.
Tomorrow's grind
The Mets and Marlins have a doubleheader tomorrow, so stream accordingly.
Pitcher (to start): Gerrit Cole is hovering at 48 percent owned and he's set to face the Cubs tomorrow. His strikeout and whiff rates are slowly creeping up.
Ubaldo Jimenez is turning back the clock, generating healthy whiff and ground ball rates for the first time since 2011. He's been racking up strikeouts over his last five outings, so he might be worth a plug against the White Sox.
Michael Wacha draws the Mariners. He's showing great basic peripherals including a strikeout to walk ratio over three (3.23 K/BB). His fastball averages about 93 mph as a starter and close to 95 as a reliever. As can be expected, he posted a much better strikeout rate as a reliever.
Pitcher (bum): Johnny Hellweg has the ludicrous combination of low strikeout rate and high walk rate that makes it impossible to pitch in the majors. He currently sports 16 walks, two hit batters, two wild pitches, and only four strikeouts in 16.2 innings. Oh, and he'll face the Reds.
Daisuke Matsuzaka was solid in his last outing against the Indians, but he remains extremely exploitable. Even the low firepower Marlins offense can be expected to post crooked numbers.
Robbie Erlin is a fringy lefty at this point in his career. He's the kind of pitcher that the Braves should easily handle, but with half the lineup banged up, they're liable to play the B team with frequency over the next few weeks.
Roy Oswalt will get a spot start against the Diamondbacks. At this point of his career, who knows what to expect.
Hitter (power): Christian Yelich is the only Marlin I would rush out to own for tomorrow's doubleheader.
Lucas Duda might get both starts tomorrow, since they're evaluating him for a starting job next season.
Try Garrett Jones against Scott Baker.
Jonny Gomes will face the no longer dominant CC Sabathia. David Ross may get a start too.
Hitter (speed): Lefties Adam Eaton and Gerardo Parra are worth a long look against Oswalt.
Eric Young Jr. also might start both games tomorrow. The Mets have so many second division types they want to look at that they may sit Young one of the games.
Pitchers to come
Sunday: It's looking like a rough day for streaming on Sunday, I would try Dillon Gee against a perhaps tired Marlins lineup.
Monday: Erik Johnson appears to be the top pick for Monday in another thin group.
Tuesday: Tuesday is a beefier group, I'm leaning toward Marco Estrada as the top recommendation.
Noteworthy news
Derek Jeter is officially shelved for the year, but this feels like old news.
Print This Post
I need a waiver batter for this weekend to majorly boost my OBP. Who would you recommend? I see quite a few guys facing some bad starters but I'm just not sure who's a good bet to be in the lineup/have a big night.
Can you give me a bit more to go on so I don't recommend players who are already taken or deeper into the pool than you need to go? If you're league is set up to allow public access, just share the link and I'll take a look.
Thanks. Have a similar issue in a weekly league that starts on Tues vs. Mon. 14 team mixed league roto. If I got steals or power would be nice as well.
Have you looked into Josh Satin? He's generally available, hitting 5th most days and has multi-eligibilities.
Satin is a great idea! thanks, I love that he could potentially play in 4 games too…Not a lot of great options on the wire, but Nava and Aoki are available as probably the other top 2 options, but with Nava's platoon situation in constant flux I wanted some alternatives

Pharmacists commonly call primary care doctors to clarify ambiguities in prescription medication type, dosage, instructions, and/or amount. In a new study, one-fifth (21 percent) of these callbacks involved clarifications of dosage (dosage was unclear or missing). Such callbacks may have prevented serious patient problems due to inappropriate dosing. Medication types that most often required clarification were gastrointestinal (21.7 percent), cardiovascular (13.9 percent), and analgesic/anesthetic (13.2 percent) agents.
Other callbacks addressed administrative issues such as prior drug authorization (37 percent) and drug formularies (26 percent). The time spent resolving these problems can result in delayed therapy or patient compliance errors due to changes in medication frequency or dosage. Frequent formulary changes are also confusing for clinicians, as they struggle to prescribe formulary-approved medications for their patients.
Researchers at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center suggest use of electronic prescribing systems, readily accessible and accurate medication formulary lists, and including indications for drug therapy on the prescription to ensure patient safety. Their findings were based on a study of 22 primary care practices participating in a patient safety study. Callbacks from pharmacies were logged for 2 weeks to determine the reasons for callbacks, the drug classes involved, whether issues were resolved on the same
day of the call, and variability of callbacks among practice types. Practices recorded 567 clarification calls during the 2-week period. Residency practices averaged more issues per call. The study was supported by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (HS11878).
See "Pharmacy clarification of prescriptions ordered in primary care: A report form the applied strategies for improving patient safety (ASIPS) collaborative," by Laura B. Hansen, Pharm.D., Douglas Fernald, M.A., Rodrigo Araya-Guerra, and others, in the January 2006 Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine 19(1), pp. 24-30.

How is your October Unprocessed going? I feel it's great to have a month to focus on consciously making better food choices. I've been enjoying experimenting with breakfast ideas for the kids – having been a cereal addicted family in the past, it's refreshing to enjoy something different most mornings – and the kids are loving it too!
Here are some of the yummy Breakfast Ideas the kids (and adults!) have been enjoying:
- Homemade Fruit Yoghurt (Recipe below)
- Fruit Slices – strawberries, apples, bananas and oranges are all favorites at the moment
- Nuts – the boys are especially loving cashews
- Homemade Jam on fresh Sourdough Bread
- Breakfast in a Jar including homemade yoghurt, nuts and fruit
- Banana & Coconut Bread
- Eggs – the kids favorites are french toast or scrambled eggs
When it comes to yoghurt I like to make it myself to avoid artificial colors, flavors, additives and the addition of WAY too much sugar which are usually found in store bought fruit flavored yoghurts.
I make the Mango Yoghurt by starting with plain natural yoghurt, the type consisting of just milk and yoghurt cultures – no sugars, thickeners, colors, flavors etc etc etc. For this batch I used two cups of plain natural yoghurt.
To the plain natural yoghurt I add whatever fruit I have to hand – a couple of oranges or a punnet of strawberries for example. For the mango yoghurt I chopped up the flesh from two fresh mangoes and mixed them through the plain natural yoghurt.
I like to taste for sweetness and then add some maple syrup depending on the sweetness of the fruit. For the mango yoghurt I used two shallow tablespoons of sugar – but you could use more or less depending on the sweetness of the fruit and how sweet (or sour) your family like their yoghurt.
I turned this breakfast idea for kids into a Breakfast Muffin Tin Meal which I put together for the kids (they each had their own) – consisted of scrambled eggs, mango yoghurt and orange segments – a simple and delicious combination that they adored. I recently added some cute forks and spoons to my Muffin Tin Meal/Bento Supplies – they are the perfect size for little hands to feed themselves! Mr 2 loves elephants so the elephant spoon and fork proved to be a huge hit with him (The set also includes a set of rabbit, dog and chicken forks and spoons).
Mango Yoghurt Recipe
2 Cups Plain Natural Yoghurt
2 Mangoes – skin removed and flesh chopped
1 to 2 Tablespoons of Maple Syrup (where to find maple syrup)
1. In a 4 Cup container, which has an airtight lid, mix together the yoghurt and mangoes until well combined.
2. Add the Maple Syrup to taste and stir through.
3. Refrigerate and use within 4 days.
I'd love to hear from you. Please share your favorite Breakfast Ideas for Kids.

BEIJING — The European Union banned imports of baby food containing Chinese milk Thursday as a toxic chemical that was illegally added to China's dairy supplies turned up in candy and other Chinese-made goods that were quickly pulled from stores worldwide.
EU regulators also ordered rigorous testing of imports containing at least 15 percent milk powder after concluding that tainted milk powder from China may well be circulating in Europe and putting children at risk.
The action significantly expands the potential reach of a milk adulteration scandal in China to include a range of foods sold around the world. Cookies, toffees and chocolates are major concerns.
While it is illegal to import dairy products and baby formula from China into the European Union, European nations import many processed foods containing milk powder manufactured outside of Europe. Such products could contain milk powder originating in China.
Milk products in China contaminated with the industrial chemical melamine have sickened more than 50,000 young children in recent weeks.
In the United States, some consumer groups called on the Food and Drug Administration for action.
The United States this year has imported 2-million pounds of a milk protein called casein and other powdered milk proteins used as ingredients in many processed foods, according to FDA figures. This includes 293,000 pounds that were imported in July, when some Chinese authorities were aware of the contamination of dairy products with melamine.

Neutrogena Skin Soothing Eye Tints
Neutrogena Skin Soothing Eye Tints Reviews
Wait....what?There's nothing soothing about these. They crease and fade throughout the day. — 6 years, 2 months agoSwoldierGirl72 | 342 reviews
This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
You have to be kidding!I have used the Pearl Shimmer Eye Tint for several years and LOVE it. It cools, and adds a little shimmer under the eye BUT for those who say it creases...maybe you need to use a little less. It only takes a very thin application to give the best results. My only frustration is finding it! I couldn't even find it on the Neutrogena site. When I do figure out the best vendor I'll stock up! — 6 years, 9 months agomarilyn_white_traini | 1 reviews

Eh...The only thing I use this for is to help with puffiness on my eyes (like after I have a crying fit and can barely open them). The cooling sensation definitely helps to de-puff. Other than that I think it is pretty worthless. It creases like you wouldn't believe and the color is not attractive. I only use this when I'm home alone and need to get ready where no one will see me. Once I wipe it o...read moreff then I apply my makeup, but I would never ever go outside with this on.

The current world and the economy's within have rapidly embraced contemporary cloud-based real world business drivers. It is this theme of "rapid" that captures the essence of new business both in the government and private sectors.
Big data, location and movement, and the visualisation of new and historical information curated in a rapid form is the foundation of the collaborative research program Rapid Spatial Analytics.
The ability to analyse and make sense of the rapid information in a manner that is fit for purpose will be the success of this research program.
Initially, four pieces of research are being conducted over a two-year period. These are:
In July 2015, the RSA Program hosted a workshop with 18 participants representing 43pl members, essential partners and the CRCSI. The RSA Program discussion revolved around five carefully selected themes: Spatial Workflows, Real-Time Spatial Analytics, Big Spatial Analytics, Foundational Spatial Analytics and Visualisation and Decision-Making (as shown below).
The diagram depicts how "Spatial Workflows" serves an overlay to cover and enable the remaining themes, whereas "Visualisation and Decision-Making" is a common output for data communication and representation for all themes. The term "Rapid" is present in each and every theme, but what does rapid mean then? Here the concept has different meanings for each area of application. Rapid can be "near real-time provision of outputs" (Real-Time Spatial Analytics), it is also means "efficient processing" (Big Spatial Analytics) and is "fast access and integration of data" (Foundational Spatial Analytics).
A copy of the report, including details of the workshop, participants and themes can be downloaded here.
Partners in this research program are: Victorian Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, Victorian Office of the Commissioner for Environmental Sustainability, NSW Land and Property Information, Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads, VPAC Innovations, University of NSW, Queensland University of Technology, and RMIT.

London - Anna Paquin was forced to correct veteran TV host Larry King when he queried whether marriage means she is now a "non-practising bisexual".
Speaking on a recent episode of 'Larry King Now', she said: "Well, I mean, I am married to my husband, and we are happily, monogamously married."
Larry then asked: "But you were bisexual?"
Anna replied: "I don't think it's a past tense thing. Are you still straight if you're with somebody? Doesn't mean you're not, if you were to break up with them or you were to die. It doesn't prevent your sexuality from existing. It doesn't really work like that."
The 32-year-old actresshas 22-month-old twins Charlie and Poppy with husband Stephen Moyer.
Meanwhile, the 'True Blood' star - who plays Sookie Stackhouse opposite her spouse as Bill Compton in the vampire drama - admitted she relied heavily on "creative costuming" when shooting the programme while pregnant.
She said: "We tried to time it quite carefully and up until the last couple of episodes there was a lot of creative costuming. And then they just CGI-ed out the bump."
However, Anna admits she worried it would be "creepy" shooting a raunchy sex scene during her pregnancy, but felt it was done tastefully.
She added: "There was only one scene that we had to shoot while I was pregnant. Bill is having this fantasy while he's having sex with Salame, who turns into Lileth, and then it turns into me.
"So I was like, 'Oh wow, it's basically a... gang bang with my husband while I'm pregnant!' But we shot from shoulders up so it wasn't like, 'OK, that's actually really creepy!' " - BANG Showbiz

These are some basic commands to see the health of your VPS, check processes, etc.
The w command shows you a few things. First, it shows your server's current load. Secondly, it shows uptime. Finally, it shows you who is logged into shell and as what user. Handy!
The ps commands shows your current running processes. A good set of flags to run with the command are aux, so the command would be ps aux. This will show all processes from all users on the server, plus some other vital information on them.
Top is a useful tool to see real time process information. It's different from ps as it updates the information and displays the biggest resource users on the top of the list. This is useful for seeing heavy memory and CPU users and processes. To quit top, simply press "q".
Kill does exactly what it sounds like it does; kills things. Specifically, processes. If you have a process that isn't responsive, or, hung, you can use kill to run it. So, if I have a process I see from running ps and want to kill it, I'll grab the process ID (in the second column of the ps aux output) and run kill ID (replacing ID with the process ID). If it doesn't kill it, you may need to use the -9 switch to force it to close. So, kill -9 ID.
Free shows current memory usage. It displays the output in bytes, however, so you may want to use the -m switch to show it in megabytes and make it more readable. You will see the total amount of memory, the used amount and the free amount, as well as memory swap usage. Note that Linux loves to cache things in memory, so having high memory usage doesn't necessarily indicate a problem.
The df command shows current disk usage.
The du command shows disk usage for a certain directory.
The netstat command shows network status, specifically, all current connections. Try netstat -anp to see a great output for all connections
Navigating around on the command line can be intimidating. We'll try to make it less so here!
The ls command lists the contents of the directory you're in. You can try the ls -alh command to show a list of files and folders, plus,
The cd command stands for change directory. That allows you to change to a directory by typing in it's full path (so, cd /home/user/public_html) or, into a folder in the current directory you're in (so, if you're in /root and want to enter a directory called "files" that you've created in there, simply type cd files).
The chown command stands for change owner and group. its basic usage is: chown user.group /path/to/file. You will want to replace user and group with the username you're changing the file to, plus, the group separated by a period as shown, or a colon.
chmod allows you to make permission changes to files. Files and folders have a set of permissions that allow users, groups and everyone to use or not use the file. You will need to chmod the binary settings for the file or folder. Basic usage is: chmod ### /path/to/file where ### is the binary permission. If you'd like a chmod calculator, try this page.
pwd shows the directory you're currently in. It stands for present working directory.
The cp command is the command you can use to copy files and folders. It's general usage is: cp file1 file2 where file1 is the file name you're wanting to replicate. To copy directories, you need to use cp -r to recursively copy the directory.
mv is similar to the copy command (cp), but instead of copying the file, it moves it from one place to another. Its general usage is: mv file1 newfile1 where file1 is the file you're moving the newfile1 is the file's new name, or, path to the directory you're moving it to.
The rm command stands for remove. It deletes files and folders. Be careful with this command! There's no turning back! (well, there is a little! We do perform backups).
The locate command uses a database that indexes all files and folders on your server. It's a quick and easy way to find files by name on your server. You may have to run the updatedb command, though, if the database that has your indexed files and folders hasn't been updated in a while.
find does exactly what you'd expect it to do. Finds stuff. Essentially, it's used similar to locate, but, it doesn't use a database. Instead, it searches the directory you're in (or, the one you specify in the search string). Say, for example, you wanted to find all files containing the word "index" in your current directory. You could use: find . -type f -exec fgrep -li index {} \;
The find command is pretty powerful! Try typing man find to see the manual for find.
The stat command shows you detailed access, modify and change timestamps on a file. Its basic usage is: stat filename. This is useful to see when a file may have changed last.

ALEXANDRIA — Louisiana's labor department will hold orientation sessions for employees losing their jobs because of the closure of Hostess Brands Inc.
The Louisiana Workforce Commission said Hostess Brands employed 419 people in Louisiana. Four orientation sessions have been set beginning 8:30 a.m. Saturday at the Central Louisiana Business Incubator in the Alexandria area, where Hostess employed more than 200. The commission said other sessions will be scheduled in other areas of Louisiana to tell workers about unemployment benefits and re-employment services.
Hostess got the OK from a bankruptcy judge this week to begin shutting down after failing to reach agreement to end a strike by a bakers' union.

For the past two months, we have been writing about the West Coast offense new coach Pat Shurmur will run as though the strategy alone is the magic cure to turn the Browns from perennial losers to a perennial playoff team.
So what, exactly, is the West Coast offense, and what can fans expect to see differently with Colt McCoy at quarterback running the offense team president Mike Holmgren embraces?
We'll let Shurmur answer.
"Well, the West Coast offense, if there are 300 people in the room, it may get defined 300 different ways," Shurmur said recently. "But it's really what you tell the quarterback. It's how you train the quarterback from footwork and timing and decision making. It's a passing game that's highly efficient, which really banks on accuracy, so you can get it to the receivers, so they can run with it.
"There are throws down the field, which are very important. And then a little bit of a broader definition is how you practice. When you're in pads, when you're not, so as you go through the length of an NFL season, you're trying to play your best football at the end of the year. So it's about efficiency. It's about the quarterback. But any offense obviously starts up front with the offensive line."
The key point in Shurmur's definition is the quarterback being accurate and efficient and getting the ball to a spot so the receiver can run with it. That is why the Browns are not overly concerned about McCoy's perceived lack of arm strength. They are counting on him hitting a receiver in stride on short-to-intermediate passes in an open spot.
The other part of the equation is finding a wide receiver with speed. NFL Network analyst Mike Lombardi said the Browns and Ravens might be the two slowest teams in the league.
That might be carrying the point too far, but the Browns definitely want to get faster at receiver, either through the draft or free agency.
"One of the fundamental routes in the West Coast, or really any system, is the ability to run a slant route because you've got a chance to throw the ball in three steps, get the ball to the receiver quickly and then really have a chance to have a big gain if he can catch and run with it," Shurmur said. "You want guys that can catch and beat bump and run. I think those are the things you're looking for. I'm not trying to make a joke there. I think it's important that receivers make the routine plays routinely, so guys that have great ball skills and can catch the ball when they're alone as well as when they're covered. I think that's important."
Running back Peyton Hillis is perfect for the West Coast offense by Shurmur's definition. Hillis led the Browns with 1,177 yards rushing in 2010. He was second on the team with 61 catches. Only tight end Benjamin Watson with 68 had more.
"The West Coast system obviously starts with two backs," Shurmur said. "Because we will throw the ball, the halfback has to be able to catch the ball out of the backfield as well as run with it. The fullback is a guy that needs to be able to block, win one-on-one battles on linebackers and then be able to catch the ball out of the backfield.
"It sounds trite, but we're going to hand it to them and throw it to them. It's important that they're able to beat linebackers in one-on-one coverage and catch the football -- that's the important piece. And when they're asked to pass protect. The running backs in this system, they're key positions because they're going to touch the football.
"It obviously will work itself into three receivers and one back. There's going to be a considerable amount of four-receiver sets. It's very multiple from that standpoint. But when you teach the system, it starts with a two-back set."
The Browns are counting on running back Montario Hardesty recovering from the torn left ACL that forced him to miss all of the 2010 season. In the brief time he was able to practice before being injured, Hardesty showed he is a capable receiver.
Cold weather is not a factor. The Packers run the West Coast and won the Super Bowl.
All eyes on Palmer
The tense showdown between Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer and Bengals management could have positive ramifications for the Browns in the draft next month.
Palmer, under contract for three more years, has demanded a trade. Bengals owner Mike Brown has no plans to accommodate him.
Palmer apparently would rather retire than play a ninth year in Cincinnati, and that could force the Bengals to use the fourth pick in the draft on a quarterback. That, in turn, could push wide receiver A.J. Green to the Browns with the sixth pick, or if not Green, a defensive player who might have gone in the top five.
Dennis Janson of television station WCPO in Cincinnati quotes Palmer saying: "I will never set foot in Paul Brown Stadium again. I have $80 million in the bank. I don't have to play football for money. I'll play it for the love of the game, but it would have to be elsewhere. I'm prepared to live my life."
During the scouting combine, Coach Marvin Lewis said the Bengals are preparing as though they will not have Palmer in 2011.
Lewis was a first-year head coach in 2003, the year the Bengals made Palmer the first pick in the draft. The Bengals have had two winning seasons in their years together.
The waiting game
Extending the deadline for the expiration of the CBA to 5 p.m. Friday is certainly encouraging, but in the meantime NFL teams cannot sign or release players.
The Browns and the 31 other teams are busy preparing for the draft. Until Friday, at least, the doors at NFL training facilities remain open. That means Hardesty, linebacker D'Qwell Jackson (pectoral) and linebacker Scott Fujita (knee) can continue their rehab.
If there is no agreement by 5 p.m. Friday and a lockout by the league begins, recuperating players will have to work with other doctors and trainers to continue their rehab.
Meanwhile, players can still have limited communication with their coaches, just as they have in the past. McCoy was allowed to get a playbook from Shurmur and study it -- it wouldn't be fair if other quarterbacks could have a playbook and McCoy be punished just because the Browns have a new coach.
Information for the NFL notebook was gathered by personal interviews and from other beat writers around the league. Schudel can be reached by e-mail at:

Nearly Drowned; Nelson Ebert, a seven or eight year old son of ex-Sheriff Ebert, narrowly escaped drowning near his home on the South side on Monday last. He went to the river with a younger brother and got on the rotten ice near the bank when he broke through the ice; but immediately came to the surface through the hole he had made and with great presence of mind, instructed his brother to give an alarm as to his situation. The alarm was luckily heard and help went rapidly to his assistance and the little fellow was rescued from his perilious situation by C. Lytton. This is the second time that little Nelson nearly met with a watery grave, and we cannot let the occasion pass by with out again cautioning parents not to permit their little ones approach too meat the river unless attended by some grown person.

The State Bar of Texas board of directors on Friday will vote on a proposal to change disciplinary rules and procedures to impose tougher consequences on prosecutors who withhold exculpatory evidence.
The proposed revisions conform with a 2013 law that called for extending the statute of limitations for such prosecutorial misconduct and eliminating the Commission for Lawyer Discipline's (CFLD) ability to issue "private reprimands" in those cases.
The Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 825 in response to the case of Michael Morton, who was exonerated of charges he murdered his wife. The CFLD alleges in a disciplinary suit that former prosecutor Ken Anderson withheld exculpatory evidence in Morton's case. Anderson denies the allegations; he and the CFLD disagree about how the statute of limitations applies. [See "Hearing Set in Disciplinary Case Against Former DA," Texas Lawyer, Aug. 12, 2013, page 7.]
The proposed revisions would amend Texas Rule of Disciplinary Procedure 15.06 to add that, "In addition to the tolling of limitations for fraud or concealment," a claim of a prosecutor-disclosure violation is timely "within four years from the date on which a wrongfully imprisoned person is released from a penal institution."
The revision also changes the CFLD's Internal Operating Rules and Procedures to bar the use private reprimands when "[t]he misconduct involves the failure of a prosecutor to make timely disclosure to the defense of all evidence or information known to the prosecutor that tends to negate the guilt of the accused or mitigate the offense."
Texas Supreme Court rules attorney Martha Newton writes in an email that, if the State Bar board approves the proposed revisions, they would go to the high court for approval before Dec. 1, the deadline in SB 825.
David Whittlesey, chairman of the State Bar Disciplinary and Client-Attorney Assistance Program Subcommittee, who will present the revisions to the board of directors, declines comment. Claire Mock, spokeswoman with the State Bar Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel, didn't immediately return a telephone call seeking comment.

This is a pair of what I believe to be mourning bracelets - obviously very old and made with black elastic threaded through the brass halves of the bracelet to allow for any needed expansion. Each end of the bracelet is capped in rolled gold - one cap is missing, but the bracelet still functions fully. The outside enamel is a little worn around the edges but otherwise in remarkably good condition. I have not seen this style before so am unable to give much information other than probably Victorian era
Mourning Jewelry actually began around the 17th century and continued in various mediums throughout England and France. The popularity peaked during the reign of Queen Victoria upon the dealth of Prince Albert. Popularity increased in the United States during the Civil War and woven hair jewelry became a popular parlour art.

Attempts to jeopardise India-Pakistan relations worrisome, say experts
By IANS | Published: 07th August 2013 10:01 AM |
Last Updated: 07th August 2013 10:01 AM | A+A A- |
As anger over the killings of Indian soldiers by Pakistani troops reverberated in parliament Tuesday, experts said the attempts to create tension with the Jalalabad suicide attack and the Poonch killings were a worrisome trend and that despite talk of friendship India should harbor no illusions about Pakistan.
Five soldiers were killed when men in Pakistani military uniform ambushed an army patrol at Chakan-da-Bagh sector of the Line of Control (LoC), which divides Kashmir between India and Pakistan early Tuesday.
While former foreign secretary Kanwal Sibal said the Jalalabad attack and the Poonch killings showed that the combine of Pakistani military, the ISI and jehadi groups had become active again, former deputy national security advisor Leela K. Ponappa said India should calibrate its engagement with Islamabad in order to give the message that the attacks were unacceptable.
Former Indian consul general in Karachi Rajiv Dogra suggested that India put a pause to the dialogue process that is set to be resumed.
Veteran journalist Kuldip Nayar said bilateral relations were becoming better, but the killings would "definitely jeopardise talks which were to start".
"This process will stop again," said the former MP.
"The opposition parties will get a handle. Everybody is looking towards elections. It might be exploited to the extent it should not be...The ruling party is going to be afraid of what happens now," Nayar, an ardent proponent of good India-Pakistan good ties, told IANS.
Sibal said the positive atmosphere sought to be created because of the feeling that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif could open up a new chapter in bilateral ties have received a jolt.
The former foreign secretary told IANS that India should be "genuinely concerned about what seems to be emerging as attempts to create tensions between the two countries".
He said the Jalalabad suicide attack near the Indian mission in which nine Afghans were killed last Saturday and Tuesday's killing in Poonch "suggests that the Pakistani military, ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence) and jihadi groups combine has become active. This is consistent with Nawaz Sharif's design to project Jammu and Kashmir on the international stage and the long- standing context of his party's link with jehandi groups and the lack of mutual trust between him and the military.
These are worrisome trends, he said, and added that Sharif has been "too slow" in taking any concrete gestures such as granting Most Favoured Nation status to India or in expediting the trial of the accused in the 2008 Mumbai attack in order to improve relations.
"What we have been seeing is negative trends," Sibal added.
Ponappa said that people "tend to forget realities" and "this is the kind of behavior you have to expect from Pakistan".
The former deputy national security advisor said India should keep Pakistan's behavior in mind and calibrate its engagement "in a way that it does not send mixed signals – that we can't accept this kind of thing."
She said she had "always maintained that Pakistan will try to make you move on positive things - because they are seeking legitimization with their own people and the international community, while carrying on this kind of activity. Given the realities of Pakistan, you cannot expect anything better".
Ponappa said Sharif's saying he wanted normalization of ties with India was nothing new. "(Zulfikar Ali) Bhutto said it, Benazir (Bhutto) said it, nothing has changed. Everybody says they want good relations but you have to see the reality on the ground."
She said she hated to sound pessimistic but "unfortunately, dealing with Pakistan has to be based on not what you want but what you are dealing with".
"You have to recognize the reality of what you are dealing with, then you will never have illusions about it," Ponappa added.
Dogra said that Indian must stop the dialogue process. "..The first step should be to put a pause button on the (secretary level) talks and depending on Pakistan's delivery in terms of apology and correction, we can consider the fate of the talks at the PM level."

No. You do not keep *your* items. You keep Ezio's items. Confusing, right? My friend and I both started out with the exact same equipment and money despite him losing his entire file due to a hard drive crash.

You get to keep the following:
Single Hidden Blade
Poison Blade
Pistol x6
Common Sword
Throwing Knives x5
Medicine x5
Money Bag
You retrieve the other weapons later on, but with the Crossbow and the ability to replace your current sword with an enemy's as well as equipping broadswords and axes you might not need them.

NUI Appliance
NUI Station
The perfect reading station needs to be easy to use and possess the highest level of functionality. NUI Station meets both of these requirements since it has been designed specifically for radiology. The software was developed as a reading and reporting station for all physicians, such as orthopedic surgeons, chiropractors and internal specialists, and is optimized for radiology and nuclear medicine requirements. NUI Station can be integrated with any RIS, EMR or HIS available on the market through HL7 protocol. It owns several custom modules for 3D processing, nuclear medicine, orthopedic templating, stitching images and much more.
NUI Store
The application software is developed in Web environment using the most innovative technologies, to make quick and fluid workflow by providing a behavior very similar to desktop applications. Fully adhering to the HTML 5 standard, developed entirely using only HTML, JavaScript, CSS and jQuery to have a "code" more compact and optimized, minimizing response times. The Dbase operations allows research with faster response times by up to 50-60%, combined with the elementary data management and without any need for maintenance and tuning.
Talete system allows the production of optical media containing the examinations made in a radiology clinic. The products contain the examination supports DICOM data, possibly the report, an integrated viewer for use by users who are not in possession of a workstation DICOM. Depending on the type of burner used media they can also be printed on the face that does not contain data with the logo of the structure that has produced them and with the main data of the content of the examination or tests. Talete presents the innovative service SKUs, service that allows you to apply to registered clients, the list of exams and request the retrieve of the examinations to be published directly by the same software.
NUI Appliance
The NUI Appliance is been realized and calibrated to work efficiently in the operating rooms. In fact we have produced an adaptive, rapid, efficient, non invasive, ergonomic and personalized solution with physicists and surgeons support, too. We have been working for a long time in Dicom market and we know , that compared to other markets, the safety in the operating rooms is characterized by complexity intrinsic of the all surgical procedures (The medical directives, the number of people and professionals involved, acute conditions of the patients, Emergency Care for which procedures have to be treated, risks of interference with other medical devices). In this scenario to use and integrate efficiently a natural interface is very complicated! The solution is NUIENG Technology. The NUI Appliance is been realized and calibrated to work efficiently in the operating rooms. In fact we have produced an adaptive, rapid, efficient, non invasive, ergonomic and personalized solution with physicists and surgeons support, too. The depth sensors are a consolidated and stabile technology used in the market from some years (Microsoft Kinect, Intel Real Sense, etc.). The appliance can be used with every Dicom Viewers in efficient way . The user can emulate simply the keyboard and mouse, can use a personalized graphic interface (ToolBar) and manage the several tools of the Dicom Viewer with few gestures and does not need to modify its own Dicom Viewers.

So we were all hauled out of studio this afternoon, this has happened before. Not the first time and probably wont be the last. In the past I would get really pissed, but now i just look at it as an opportunity to focus on other classes that I've probably been neglecting a little to much so far.
As far as studio has been going.......
It has been an interesting semester so far, I haven't been producing the amount of work that I've been common to in the past, and i haven't touched the computer once. It has been surprisingly enjoyable so far. As for professor Amatuzzo's mythology goes; Its kind of simple. He believes that architecture in itself is a discipline that needs no other connections ie. Metaphorical or extreme theoretical correlations. He often backs these ideas up with stories from his fascinating architectural experiences as we veer off on these long theoretical tangents throughout class. To sum up his idea's about architecture in a couple of sentences, "If architecture is a language whose medium is space and solid then whatever intentions that the architect wishes to communicate must be made clear and visible via that medium or be forever silent. It is never sufficient for an architect to claim to accomplish a number of things in words which may in fact fail to materialize physically."
i maneged to snap a couple of pics before i got kicked out

The immune system plays a role in the development of complications after severe trauma, but we do not know how. Equally, biochemical changes measured in the blood after trauma (eg. bloodglucose, GC-globulin, coagulation parameters etc.) may predict the prognosis and the degree of complcations. Two significant complications are infection and organ failure, which may prolong hospitalisation and increase mortality.
In the study we collected samples from blood and body surfaces to determine changes in cytokines, biochemistry, bacterial flora, and subsequent complications. We compare the changes in between groups of the cohort.
