William Robinson (875390) writes "A new study from researchers at Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has proposed the "water world" theory as the answer to our evolution, which describes how electrical energy naturally produced at the sea floor might have given rise to life. While the scientists had already proposed this hypothesis called 'submarine alkaline hydrothermal emergence of life' the new report assembles decades of field, laboratory and theoretical research into a grand, unified picture."
Trax3001BBS (2368736) writes in with news about a breakthrough in creating stem cells perfectly matched to a person's DNA. "...Lanza's group used caffeine to prevent the fused egg from dividing prematurely. Rather than leaving the egg with its newly introduced DNA for 30 minutes before activating the dividing stage, they let the eggs rest for about two hours. This gave the DNA enough time to acclimate to its new environment and interact with the egg's development factors, which erased each of the donor cell's existing history and reprogrammed it to act like a brand new cell in an embryo.'"
astroengine (1577233) writes "About 500 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus lives a star, which, though smaller and redder than the sun, has a planet that may look awfully familiar. With a diameter just 10 percent bigger than Earth's, the newly found world is the first of its size found basking in the benign temperature region around a parent star where water, if it exists, could pool in liquid form (abstract). Scientists on the hunt for Earth's twin are focused on worlds that could support liquid surface water, which may be necessary to brew the chemistry of life. "Kepler-186f is significant because it is the first exoplanet that is the same temperature and the same size (well, ALMOST!) as the Earth," David Charbonneau, with the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, wrote in an email to Discovery News. "Previously, the exoplanet most like Earth was Kepler-62f, but Kepler-186f is significantly smaller. Now we can point to a star and say, 'There lies an Earth-like planet.'""
Hugh Pickens DOT Com (2995471) writes "Chris Bowlby reports at BBC that medical research has been building up for a while now, suggesting constant sitting is harming our health — potentially causing cardiovascular problems or vulnerability to diabetes. Advocates of sit-stand desks say more standing would benefit not only health, but also workers' energy and creativity. Some big organizations and companies are beginning to look seriously at reducing 'prolonged sitting' among office workers. 'It's becoming more well known that long periods of sedentary behavior has an adverse effect on health,' says GE engineer Jonathan McGregor, 'so we're looking at bringing in standing desks.' The whole concept of sitting as the norm in workplaces is a recent innovation, points out Jeremy Myerson, professor of design at the Royal College of Art. 'If you look at the late 19th Century,' he says, Victorian clerks could stand at their desks and 'moved around a lot more'. 'It's possible to look back at the industrial office of the past 100 years or so as some kind of weird aberration in a 1,000-year continuum of work where we've always moved around.' What changed things in the 20th Century was 'Taylorism' — time and motion studies applied to office work. 'It's much easier to supervise and control people when they're sitting down,' says Myerson. What might finally change things is if the evidence becomes overwhelming, the health costs rise, and stopping employees from sitting too much becomes part of an employer's legal duty of care. 'If what we are creating are environments where people are not going to be terribly healthy and are suffering from diseases like cardiovascular disease and diabetes,' says Prof Alexi Marmot, a specialist on workplace design, 'it's highly unlikely the organization benefits in any way.'"
sciencehabit writes: "Fossil fuels power modern society by generating heat, but much of that heat is wasted. Researchers have tried to reclaim some of it with semiconductor devices called thermoelectrics, which convert the heat into power. But they remain too inefficient and expensive to be useful beyond a handful of niche applications. Now, scientists in Illinois report that they have used a cheap, well-known material to create the most heat-hungry thermoelectric so far (abstract). In the process, the researchers say, they learned valuable lessons that could push the materials to the efficiencies needed for widespread applications. If that happens, thermoelectrics could one day power cars and scavenge energy from myriad engines, boilers, and electrical plants."
KentuckyFC (1144503) writes "Iapetus, Saturn's third largest moon, was first photographed by the Cassini spacecraft on 31 December 2004. The images created something of a stir. Clearly visible was a narrow, steep ridge of mountains that stretch almost halfway around the moon's equator. The question that has since puzzled astronomers is how this mountain range got there. Now evidence is mounting that this mountain range is not the result of tectonic or volcanic activity, like mountain ranges on other planets. Instead, astronomers are increasingly convinced that this mountain range fell from space. The latest evidence is a study of the shape of the mountains using 3-D images generated from Cassini data. They show that the angle of the mountainsides is close to the angle of repose, that's the greatest angle that a granular material can form before it landslides. That's not proof but it certainly consistent with this exotic formation theory. So how might this have happened?
Astronomers think that early in its life, Iapetus must have been hit by another moon, sending huge volumes of ejecta into orbit. Some of this condensed into a new moon that escaped into space. However, the rest formed an unstable ring that gradually spiraled in towards the moon, eventually depositing the material in a narrow ridge around the equator. Cassini's next encounter with Iapetus will be in 2015 which should give astronomers another chance to study the strangest mountain range in the Solar System."
An anonymous reader writes "StarCraft II is popular among competitive gamers for having the depth necessary to reward differences in skill. A new study has found that your ability keep up with the game's frantic pace starts to decline at age 24. This is relevant to more than just StarCraft II players: 'While many high-performance athletes start to show age-related declines at a young age, those are often attributed to physical as opposed to brain aging. ... While previous lab tests have shown faster reaction times for simple individual tasks, it was never clear how much relevance those had to complex, real-world tasks such as driving. Thompson noted that Starcraft is complex and quite similar to real-life tasks such as managing 911 calls at an emergency dispatch centre, so the findings may be directly relevant. However, game performance was much easier to analyze than many real-life situations because the game generates detailed logs of every move. In a way, Thompson said, the study is a good demonstration of what kinds of insights can be gleaned from the "cool data sets" generated by our digital lives.'"
ananyo writes: "If ever a technology were ripe for disruption, it is the microscope. Microscopes are expensive and need to be serviced and maintained. Unfortunately, one important use of them is in poor-world laboratories and clinics, for identifying pathogens, and such places often have small budgets and lack suitably trained technicians. Now Manu Prakash, a bioengineer at Stanford University, has designed a microscope made almost entirely of paper, which is so cheap that the question of servicing it goes out of the window. Individual Foldscopes are printed on A4 sheets of paper (ideally polymer-coated for durability). A pattern of perforations on the sheet marks out the 'scope's components, which are colour-coded in a way intended to assist the user in the task of assembly. The Foldscope's non-paper components, a poppy-seed-sized spherical lens made of borosilicate or corundum, a light-emitting diode (LED), a watch battery, a switch and some copper tape to complete the electrical circuit, are pressed into or bonded onto the paper. (The lenses are actually bits of abrasive grit intended to roll around in tumblers that smooth-off metal parts.) A high-resolution version of this costs less than a dollar, and offers a magnification of up to 2,100 times and a resolving power of less than a micron. A lower-spec version (up to 400x magnification) costs less than 60 cents."
sciencehabit (1205606) writes "The U.S. biomedical science system 'is on an unsustainable path' and needs major reform, four prominent researchers say. Researchers should 'confront the dangers at hand,' the authors write, and 'rethink' how academic research is funded, staffed, and organized. Among other issues, the team suggests that the system may be producing too many new researchers and forcing them to compete for a stagnating pool of funding."
astroengine (1577233) writes "NASA's Saturn-orbiting Cassini spacecraft has imaged something peculiar on the outermost edge of the gas giant's A-ring. A bright knot, or arc, has been spotted 20 percent brighter than the surrounding ring material and astronomers are interpreting it as a gravitational disturbance caused by a tiny moon. "We have not seen anything like this before," said Carl Murray of Queen Mary University of London. 'We may be looking at the act of birth, where this object is just leaving the rings and heading off to be a moon in its own right.'"
Lasrick (2629253) writes "Tom Wigley is one of the world's top climate scientists, and in this interview he explains his outspoken support for both nuclear energy and research into climate engineering. Wigley was one of the first scientists to break the taboo on public discussion of climate engineering as a possible response to global warming; in a 2006 paper in the journal Science, he proposed a combined geoengineering-mitigation strategy that would address the problem of increasing ocean acidity, as well as the problem of climate change. In this interview, he argues that renewable energy alone will not be sufficient to address the climate challenge, because it cannot be scaled up quickly and cheaply enough, and that opposition to nuclear power 'threatens humanity's ability to avoid dangerous climate change.'"
mpicpp (3454017) writes with the ultimate DIY story about a carpenter in South Africa who lost his fingers in an accident, and now runs a company that makes mechanical prosthetics with 3D printing technology. "'I was in a position to see exactly what happens in the human hand. I got the basics of what it's all about and thought yeah, I'll make my own.' Richard van As is recalling the moment in May 2011 when he sat in a Johannesburg hospital waiting to hear if his fingers could be stitched back on. Just an hour earlier, he had been in his carpentry workshop sawing wood when the saw slipped and ripped diagonally through the four fingers on his right hand....After days of scouring the Internet he couldn't find anywhere to buy a functional prosthetic finger and he was astonished at the cost of prosthetic hands and limbs which began in the tens of thousands of dollars. But his online surfing paid off as it brought him to an amateur video posted by a mechanical effects artist in Washington State, by the name of Ivan Owen. Together, the pair developed a mechanical finger for van As, but their partnership has also gone on to benefit countless hand and arm amputees around the globe, through the birth of the company "Robohand." Officially launched in January 2012, Robohand creates affordable mechanical prosthetics through the use of 3D printers. Not only that, but it has made its designs open source, so that anyone with access to such printers can print out fingers, hands and now arms as well.'"
aarondubrow (1866212) writes "A 'tidal disruption' occurs when a star orbits too close to a black hole and gets sucked in. The phenomenon is accompanied by a bright flare with a unique signature that changes over time. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology are using Stampede and other NSF-supported supercomputers to simulate tidal disruptions in order to better understand the dynamics of the process. Doing so helps astronomers find many more possible candidates of tidal disruptions in sky surveys and will reveal details of how stars and black holes interact."
An anonymous reader writes "People on the West Coast should be able to watch the beginning of the upcoming total lunar eclipse tonight at 10:20 pm. The entirety of the moon surface will be in Earth's shadow and start to glow red a couple hours later, a little after midnight. From the article: 'A lunar eclipse occurs when the sun, moon, and Earth align so that Earth's shadow falls across the moon's surface. Monday night's lunar eclipse is a total eclipse, which means Earth's shadow will cover the moon completely. The moon won't be blacked out by our planet's shadow. Instead, it will take on a reddish hue — anywhere from a bright copper to the brownish red of dried blood.'"
An anonymous reader writes "Despite a critical backup computer failing on the ISS Friday, an unmanned SpaceX rocket will launch from Cape Canaveral at 4:58 p.m. Monday with more than 2 tons of supplies for the space station. From the article: 'The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration decided to proceed with its resupply mission, despite technical problems with its computer in the International Space Station (ISS), as it needed to deliver necessary supplies.'"
KentuckyFC (1144503) writes "Imagine the following scenario. The end of civilization has occurred, zombies have taken over the Earth and all access to modern technology has ended. The few survivors suddenly need to know the value of pi and, being a mathematician, they turn to you. What do you do? According to a couple of Canadian mathematicians, the answer is to repeatedly fire a Mossberg 500 pump action shotgun at a square aluminum target about 20 meters away. Then imagine that the square is inscribed with an arc drawn between opposite corners that maps out a quarter circle. If the sides of the square are equal to 1, then the area of the quarter circle is pi/4. Next, count the number of pellet holes that fall inside the area of the quarter circle as well as the total number of holes. The ratio between these is an estimate of the ratio between the area of the quarter circle and the area of a square, or in other words pi/4. So multiplying this number by 4 will give you an estimate of pi. That's a process known as a Monte Carlo approximation and it is complicated by factors such as the distribution of the pellets not being random. But the mathematicians show how to handle these too. The result? According to this method, pi is 3.13, which is just 0.33 per cent off the true value. Handy if you find yourself in a post-apocalyptic world."
Hugh Pickens DOT Com (2995471) writes "Jenny McCarthy is claiming she has been misunderstood and is not anti-vaccine. In an op-ed in the Chicago Sun-Times, McCarthy tries to ignore everything she's been saying about vaccines for years and wipe the record clean. 'People have the misconception that we want to eliminate vaccines,' McCarthy told Time magazine science editor Jeffrey Kluger in 2009. 'Please understand that we are not an anti-vaccine group. We are demanding safe vaccines. We want to reduce the schedule and reduce the toxins.' But Kluger points out that McCarthy left the last line out of that quotation: 'If you ask a parent of an autistic child if they want the measles or the autism, we will stand in line for the f--king measles.' That missing line rather changes the tone of her position considerably, writes Phil Plait and is a difficult stance to square with someone who is not anti-vaccine. As Kluger points out, her entire premise is false; since vaccines don't cause autism, no one has to make the choice between measles (and other preventable, dangerous diseases) and autism. Something else McCarthy omitted from her interview with Kluger: 'I do believe sadly it's going to take some diseases coming back to realize that we need to change and develop vaccines that are safe,' said McCarthy. 'If the vaccine companies are not listening to us, it's their f*cking fault that the diseases are coming back. They're making a product that's sh*t. If you give us a safe vaccine, we'll use it. It shouldn't be polio versus autism.' Kluger finishes with this: 'Jenny, as outbreaks of measles, mumps and whooping cough continue to appear in the U.S.—most the result of parents refusing to vaccinate their children because of the scare stories passed around by anti-vaxxers like you—it's just too late to play cute with the things you've said.' For many years McCarthy has gone on and on and on and on and on and on about vaccines and autism. 'She can claim all she wants that she's not anti-vax,' concludes Plait, 'but her own words show her to be wrong.'"
astroengine (1577233) writes "In July 2015 we get our first close look at the dwarf planet Pluto and its moon, Charon — a fact that has scientists hypothesizing more than ever about what we might see there. One of the latest ideas put forward is that perhaps the collision that likely formed Pluto and Charon heated the interior of Pluto enough to give it an internal liquid water ocean, which also gave the small world a short-lived plate tectonics system, like that of Earth."
An anonymous reader writes "Having established its presence in the Crimean Peninsula, Russia is now shooting for a bit loftier goal, a permanent Moon base. 'As reported by the Voice of Russia, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin told the government daily Rossiiskaya Gazeta that establishing a permanent Moon base has become one of the country's top space priorities. "The moon is not an intermediate point in the [space] race, it is a separate, even a self-contained goal," Rogozin reportedly said. "It would hardly be rational to make some ten or twenty flights to the moon, and then wind it all up and fly to the Mars or some asteroids."'"
An anonymous reader writes "On the heels of a study that concluded there was less than a 1% chance that current global warming could be simple fluctuations, U.N. scientists say energy from renewables, nuclear reactors and power plants that use emissions-capture technology needs to triple in order keep climate change within safe limits. From The Washington Post: 'During a news conference Sunday, another co-chair, Rajendra K. Pachauri of India, said the goal of limiting a rise in global temperatures "cannot be achieved without cooperation." He added, "What comes out very clearly from this report is that the high-speed mitigation train needs to leave the station soon, and all of global society needs to get on board."'"

The Carpenter Ants
With AC30
WHEN: 10 p.m. Saturday
WHERE: The Empty Glass, 410 Elizabeth St.
INFO: 304-345-3914 or www.emptyglass.com
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- You can tell Carpenter Ants guitarist and vocalist Michael Lipton wants to get past the question quickly.
But it's such a usual question to ask a band that you have to ask just to get it out of the way. Why the name?
"We were in Idaho with 'Mountain Stage,'" he says, seated in the kitchen of his East End home as the smaller of his two dogs, Miga, hops up and down off his lap.
"I saw an advertisement -- 'Carpenter Ants' with a slash through it. I'd never heard of a carpenter ant and said 'That'd be a funny band name.'"
And so, inspired by a pest control ad, one of West Virginia's longest running bands -- and perhaps one of its only gospel-channeling, secular R&B and country funk ensembles -- was born. The Carpenter Ants mark 25 years together this year and showcase an ambitiously produced fifth album, "Ants & Uncles," in a CD release show at The Empty Glass at 10 p.m. Saturday.
"That's it. Dumb story. Move on," says Lipton.
Moving on, as the rest of the quartet filters into the house for a Wednesday rehearsal, there is the matter of labels and genres.
"We've gone through different phases," Lipton says, as frontman Charlie Tee drops onto a kitchen chair. Drummer and vocalist Jupie Little and harmonizing bass player Ted Harrison pull up the rear.
"We were doing kind of R&B and country blues kind of stuff. Then we started getting into gospel, so we pretty much got immersed in it."
So much so that in addition to covering the rousing "He Saved My Soul" by Claude Jeter of the Swan Silvertones and the hymn "This World is Not My Home" by Albert Brumley Sr., on the new CD, Lipton and Little have written several original gospel tunes for the band, including "It's A Blessing," also featured on the recording.
Mixing secular and sacred music, and cross-fertilizing the qualities of each, is a hallmark of the Ants' tight harmony-driven sound, which enables them to move around among venues.
"We play churches services where we do only gospel," says Lipton. "We rarely don't do any gospel songs at this point. The Holmes Brothers are probably the closest thing I can think of. They do secular stuff, they do gospel stuff and it's got the same energy and the same feel to it."
Then again, not being a band of choirboys, the sacred butts elbows with more earthly values on the 14-song "Ants & Uncles" (which is available at Taylor Books, Budget Tapes and Records, cdbaby.com and by e-mailing carpentera...@gmail.com).

Car problem reports
Problem with your car? See what our experts say or submit your own.
Most reported 2005 Mercedes-Benz C320 4MATIC problems
Inside Grab Handles/Upholstery/Door Trim Panels May Delaminate
Inside grab handles, the upholstery on the center console cover, and door trim panels can delaminate. Most commonly replacement of the affected part is necessary.
Check Engine Light on Due to Failed Catalytic Converter
Catalytic converter failure is common and may cause a Check Engine Light to illuminate.
"Crank no Start" Due to Failed Crankshaft Position Sensor
The crankshaft position sensor may fail. Symptoms of this are: The engine will crank—but not start—especially when the engine is warm. The car may start again if it is left to cool off, but it may run roughly or have poor performance. Communicating these specific symptoms to your technician can save diagnostic time.
Transmission May Leak Fluid and Damage Control Module
The electrical connector at the automatic transmission may leak fluid into the wiring harness. If not repaired, the oil will migrate through the wiring harness and damage the transmission control module. A new harness and control module may be necessary to correct this problem.
Oil Leaking From Oil Level Sensor
An engine oil leak may develop from the oil level sensor. Replacement of the leaking sensor will commonly correct this concern.
Knocking Noise Over Bumps Due to Worn Sway Bar Link Joints
The sway bar end link joints may wear and cause a knocking noise over bumps. Loose or warn links should be replaced to correct this type of noise.
SRS Light Due to Spilled Liquid on Buckle or Under Seat
The SRS (airbag) light can come on if liquids are spilled into the seat belt buckles, or if the liquid pools underneath the seat and gets into the electrical connector for the seat belt pretensioner. Damaged components will require replacement to restore proper airbag operation.
The Differential May Develop Leaks From the Seals or Cover
High mileage or older vehicles commonly develop leaks from the differential seals and/or cover. Our technicians recommend a complete reseal of the differential unit whenever these leaks are repaired.
ABS Modulator Failure Due to Dirty Brake Fluid
It is not uncommon to encounter premature failure of the anti-lock brake system (ABS) modulator assembly due to dirty brake fluid. Our technicians recommend flushing the brake fluid every two years in order to help prevent this problem.
CD Changer May Suffer From Internal Mechanical Problem
The CD changer may suffer from an internal mechanical problem. Replacement of the faulty unit is generally required to correct this issue.
Engine Oil Leak From PCV Vent Housing and/or Engine Inspection Plate
An engine Oil leak may develop from the PCV vent housing on the valve cover and/or the inspection plate on the front of the engine.
Tire Wear Caused By Worn Front Thrust Link Bushings
Irregular and premature tire wear can be caused by the front thrust link bushings cracking and causing excessive movement in the suspension. The thrust link bushings are fluid-filled (to help reduce vibration), so if they crack, they will leak oil.
Harmonic Balancer May Fail and Damage Timing Cover
The rubber bond in the harmonic balancer can decay, which causes the balancer to move and work its way toward the timing cover. If the balancer comes into contact with the timing cover while the engine is running, it will fracture and damage the cover and potentially other surrounding parts. The harmonic balancer should be inspected at every service.

Light, fresh, with a slight fruit taste, this ale from Dogfish Head doens't have quite the wow of many of their other products. However, it is quite drinkable, especially since it has such a light feel and mild taste. Not bitter or hoppy at all. I wouldn't go out of my way to drink it again, but if someone offered me one, I'd take it!

Has a strong strawberry and honey taste, but surprisingly is not sweet. Has a dry, syrupy feel that reminds me of the Immort Ale. Feels fizzy on the tongue. Despite the strangeness, it is still enjoyable, though not for everyone. For me it's the strawberry that helps lift it.

look: 3.5 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 2 | feel: 2 | overall: 2
Serving Type - Bottle
Appearance - Light tan/copper, very carbonated with a fizzy 1.2 inch head, some lacing.
Smell - Bold dark fruits, grape, plum, raisin, blueberry, strawberry. Some honey along with malts, added sugars.
Taste - Very mild, rather weak at first sip. Plenty of bland strawberry. I really don't get much more fruits, other then a little grape. Most of the aroma doesn't show up as flavor. Nothing much more to say.
Mouthfeel - Really light, tongue gets strawberry and a little grape. Tongue gets remaining strawberry and a little alcohol warmth. Aftertaste is dry, watery and weak.
Overall - This is disappointing. Lacks flavor, any type of complex flavor or balance. Tastes like a cheap table wine or some half-assed girly mixed drink at some yuppy bar. Nothing id recommend or revisit again.

look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4
Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a tall pint glass.
Appearance: Pours a bright and clear golden orange with a slight hint of red. Lots of rising bubbles and a slight off white head that quickly fades into a thin patchy layer. Lacing is light.
Smell: A sweet, fruity, and jammy aroma with big hints of strawberry and honey. Upfront scent of strawberries along with some sweet syrup. Pale malt with hints of grains, yeast, and lots of honey. Also some white wine like hints of grapes. Some sweet molasses hints as well. A pretty interesting and nice fruity aroma.
Taste: Like it smells, a sweet, fruity, and slightly tart fruit forward taste with lots of strawberry and honey. Upfront taste of sweet strawberries. Also some fruit notes of white grape. Sweet notes of syrup and molasses. Pale malt with notes of grains, yeast, and a big presence of honey. Taste is fruity and sweet but light and smooth while far from cloying.
Mouthfeel: Light bodied with a medium to high level of carbonation. Sweet and syrupy but light and smooth.
Overall: An interesting and decent take on a fruit beer. Very light but the strawberry taste is nice.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.25
A- Crystal clear golden/honey colored body with a fizzy white head. Lots of fizzy carbonation bubbles rising from the bottom of the glass.
S- Almost smells like a sweet, fruity soda. Honey, strawberries, lots of sugary-sweet aromas.
T- Soda like sweetness (birch beer?) with strawberries coming through a lot with honey in the finish. The malt backbone you would expect in a beer is not present and it leaves a lingering sweet aftertaste. Kind of weird during the first few sips as that grain bill is just not there.
M- More body than I would have expected, but still somewhat thin and fizzy. Lingering sweetness and fizziness.
O- Being a gluten-free beer, this one is drinkable. Not my favorite mix of flavors, but it's not over-the-top sweet to the point of being undrinkable. Drinks somewhat like a soda, but it's nice to see a noble attempt at a gluten-free offering.

Look: Pours copper, no lacing, no head.
Aroma: The strawberry is not overpowering, but it is there.
Taste: I was expecting a more fruity taste, but it was lacking. Still had a strawberry finish.
Feel: Heavy feel, almost like drinking watered down honey.
Overall: This was the only bottle of Dogfish the local liquor store had for sale, I expected more from it.

3.56/5 rDev +16%
look: 3.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
Appearance: Crystal clear copper body with a fizzling white head.
Aroma: Sweet syrupy strawberry and jam.
Taste: Not as potently sweet as I was expecting, which works in its favor. Starts with a slightly watery strawberry flavor that builds in aggressiveness until the finish. The finish is crisp and the aftertastes leaves a quite interesting taste of winterfresh gum on the palate. The sorghum is hidden very well here and is only slightly detectable. At 6% ABV it drinks like a lighter beer but that can mostly be attributed to the high level of effervescence.
Mouthfeel: Just below medium in body with above average carbonation. Decent drinkability and definitely sessionable for those with a gluten allergy.
Final Thoughts: I'm not sure this beer was all that fresh but it's difficult to find any flaws. The fact that this beer is gluten-free is hardly brought up in the flavor. Another good beer from a great brewery. Would I drink it again? Yes, tweasonally.

Screaming with odoriferous emanations of strawberry shortcake, Tweason' ale is an inviting entry into the fruit-beer market; being gluten free is a massive added bonus. Hazy reddish amber with a sedentary head, this brew is quite tempting. the nose has a beautiful essence of the strawberries within, but the malted nose gives it authenticity. Slightly bitter and marginally sweet, this beer satisfies quite well. If you are sensitive to gluten, this is truly a wonderful alternative to those brews with similar attributes which are simply non-potable to the Celiac sufferer. Kudos to DFH.

Bottled on 01/22/13
Poured into a pint glass.
Look: Pours a copper color with almost no head. (I should have got violent with it) There doesn't seem like much lacing, not sure if that's just how the brew is, or my glass is messed up, or what. Nothing special, so I give it my usual "good" of 3.75.
Aroma: At first there was a lot! I was getting the obvious whiff of strawberry, but more like a Jolly Rancher type strawberry, probably the honey that's in there that is doing that. Didn't pick up on the honey too much, and there wasn't time. After about two minutes, the aroma just straight up died. So I can't really say what else is suppose to be there. It gets a 3.75 for the initial burst of smell, which was awesome, but not any higher, as I didn't get to enjoy it.
Taste: My first thoughts were watered down Strawberry Kool-Aid. (That sounds bad, but to me, it was pretty good.) After a bit of warmth, the malty-likeness comes through in the honey. I wish I had more experience with Sorghum in brews, as it seems like it's interesting. (Just not sure if that's what is making it interesting!)
Feel: A weird combination of crisp and light, with something heavier. It finishes heavy. But the first sip is like Sprite. No detection of the mild ABV.
Overall: I had no idea what to expect with this one, and it's a very solid fruit beer. I've only found a couple of others that I genuinely like, and I'll now add this one to the list. Nothing outstanding that'll make me search it out, but when I'm in the mood, and it's in my field of vision, I won't hesitate to pick it up.

A - Orangy, copper. Has a head only while pouring but disappears shortly thereafter. No head remains however, lots of carbonation bubbles on side of glass. Clear as can be.
S - Much more like white wine then a true beer. Light and fruity.
T - Much more like sparkling wine then beer. Taste is light and crisp. Hints of strawberry are there. Refreshing.
M - Thin as wine. Slight tartness left in mouth after each sip.
O - This is a nice beverage to drink. My wife is gluten free and why we have it around the house. I definitely think of this more in a sparkling wine category vs. a beer category. That being said, for what it is, it is good. In the beer spectrum, its only ok.

Apperance: A very interesting dark honey-like amber
Smell: A very light smell that actually does not give the full flavor body. Like strawberry nodes!
Taste: At first gulp the large carbonation gives a light beer flavor but finishes with a strong sense of strawberry - BUT this is easily the best gluten-free beer or one of the best
Mouthfeel: Highly carbonated and then smooth similar to Angry Orchard's line of hard ciders
Overall: An excellent beer for those who seldom drink or have an aversion to gluten. Very much a warm weather beer that borders on a cider with its strong strawberry flavor. A must for the gluten-free

Tried this out of a 12 ounce bottle poured into a stout/porter glass.
A - 3.75 - dark orange/copper colored beer with no head, looks like the carbonation is pretty heavy with a lot of bubbles coming through
S - 3.50 - huge dry white wine, ripe strawberry sourness, not very complex at all
T - 3.50 - there and gone, dry wine/strawberry sourness with a distinct beer flavor I've only gotten from a few other beers, I'm having a hard time placing it but I'm assuming it's from the Sorghum? Maybe a tiny hint of hops in there, but not much. Kind of like a strawberry cider.
M - 3.50 - Heavy carbonation, taste is there and gone, with a light cider aftertaste. Basically no bitterness.
O - 3.50 - This "beer" taste more like wine than beer. It seems more like a novelty than anything.

Bought a four pack in Denver, very interested and enjoyed the comical artwork on the pack. Didn't know what to expect. Also interesting that this was gluten free.
The appearance is very pleasant and just what I was expecting. Maybe even a bit nicer than expected. Has a light caramel and orange appearance and almost this very slight pinkish tone. The crisp white head dissipates fast but hangs around the edges.
Smells really good, sweet strawberries, a noticeable tartness intermingling with the pleasant touch of buckwheat honey. Almost candy like with a tad bit of caramel. Very clean smell, very floral... not heavy, more like walking into a florists cooler. Or getting that scent while you pass by.
Tastes great to me, especially for a gluten free beer. This is probably hands down the best gluten free beer I have ever had, too. Comes in with a very light grain taste, but then explodes into floral notes that swing in with slightly under ripe strawberries. A clean crisp, and very mild tartness that is fresh and pretty right on strawberry taste, definitely not imitation or candy. It's sweet but not too sweet, just a very even sweetness. I've had Belgian browns and darks that are sweeter than this. After the strawberry hits the earthiness and dryness of the buckwheat honey bursts in too. Just the intermingling of strawberry tartness and buckwheat earthiness... very nice. My only warning about this is that you v=really need to enjoy buckwheat honey, which is quite distinct from other honey.
Mouthfeel is perfect too, a little tart and dry but really, REALLY, clean and crisp. The carbonation is bright and cleans the palate. Not overly bubbly... just right and just what I had hoped for in a late summer/early autumn kind of beer.
Call me crazy (trust me, you won't be the first, nor will you be the last... so I don't care), but this is a pretty right on fruit beer that is also gluten free. I mean, if I couldn't have gluten I would load up on this brew. It's great. Dogfish did a great job on this one, great quality, great taste and all around pretty fair price for a very good four pack. If I see this again I am liable to by more without much thought. I'll be enjoying the rest in the weeks to come, that is for sure.

This ale is interesting....the liquid is utterly clear, with a thin white head, and a stream of bubbles. The smell is subtle, but multifaceted with fruit...berries. I got strawberry, as noted on the label, but I also thout I smelled some raspberries. The beer is semi dry, with a lot of fruit. There is a slightly astringent, grainy taste. Almost salty as well? Medium body. Although not an exceptional beer, this beer is very engaging.

12oz single served in pint glass. Cold. Beer pours a pleasant orange hued pale color, with nearly no head, and a sweet but pleasant aroma with a decent hit of strawberry in the nose.
Flavor is considerably more dry. The honey tastes entirely fermented out, the flavor is more floral, mixed with strawberry. And even though it's dry, there's no particular hop character. Pretty good, but could just as easily be mistaken for a dry flavored cider. Pretty fizzy, but not too bad. Drinkable if not super exciting.

Hazy tawny copper color with some orange hues. Thin bright white head with large carbonation and no retention.
Strawberry, fruit punch, cherry kool-aid, honeysuckle, bubblegum. Very sweet on the nose.
Strawberry, bubblegum, candied bitterness from the sorghum.
Light+ bodied, thin and slightly watery. Carbonation is nettles in it's texture against the palate, slightly magnifying the bitter quality. Finish is short with the kool-aid lingering.
I am honestly not thinking about this as beer, but as a gluten-free beverage. The problem is that Tweasen'ale is trying to be both a beer substitute for someone who must avoid gluten, and it's also trying to approach the problem through fruit and honey. It doesn't make it on either front: it has no relation to a standard beer and the fruit tastes very candied and artificial in the final product. While I am a Dogfish Head fan, I think they missed the mark here.

look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
Eye: Not perfectly clear, but clear enough. All in all it looks nice in the glass. Color is reddish when the light passes through it but just sitting here it looks more brown. Very, very active carbonation. Head is a creamy 1/2 finger that sticks around and is just a touch off white in color. Lacing is pretty much nonexistent.
Nose: Strawberry and light honey notes are dominant here. Smells just like the label implies-strawberries and honey. Fruit aroma of strawberries is real, meaning I can tell real fruit is used here as opposed to extract flavoring.
Tongue: Strawberries upfront and the close to this beer is the sorghum. It doesn't taste like malt...best way to describe it is this beer's malt profile is to regular pasta is to brown rice pasta. Body is light and carbonation is appropriate, its not too active on the palate and I'm glad for that...anymore and it would be "spritzy." Finish is dry, and I'm thinking that it is due to the sorghum. Strawberry flavor persists throughout. As far as gluten free beers go, this is one of the better ones to date.
Drinkability: My mother is a Celiac so this is one that I'll be picking up for her. Its nice to see that there are other options out there besides pale type lager beers that aren't all that great as well as Belgian GF beers that just taste like some gross cider. As far as the rest of the beer community goes, its worth a try, but really not much to come back to less you can't have gluten. And for all of you who think gluten free diets are all the fad, I really don't understand your thinking... I can bet you any amount of money that you may think you are eating gluten free on your "fad diet" but you are not because it is in everything, I mean everything...Gummy bears-yeah.
I would like to see what this beer tasted like without the strawberries, they add a bit that I think might just clash with the sorghum, it would be nice to see what it is like without it and perhaps with some other fruit or just no fruit and fermented with a different yeast strain or aged in some kind of barrel to give it some more flavor.

Beer pours a crystal clear light honey color not unlike an IPA. The aroma is floral and honey. No noticeable head. Texture is watery with medium carbonation. Body is light. Taste is definitely unusual. I am not sure what they are trying to do here. I respect what the brewmaster was trying to do, but it seems like a stretch to call it an ale. For now, this is not a brew that I would come back to often.

S: Earthy, grainy aroma with a smooth honey note and a hint of strawberries. Hops are distant in the background.

M: Sharp bubbly carbonation and syrupy light body.
O: Not one of Dogfish's best beers but to tackle the gluten-free category they make this a solid effort. For those with sensitivities to gluten, this is a good option to try!

To be fair, this is my first venture into gluten free beer.
The taste is like tangy strawberry drink. I don't get any of the beer flavors I love and look for. I don't regret every sip, but I probably won't finish my glass.

I had this on tap over the weekend at the brew pub in Rehobeth. It was fresh, clear and had a fantastic taste. The color was good and the smell showed the fruit added to the batch. I'd recommend it as a great medium bodied beer for the summer. It wasn't too heavy

I love everything Dogfish has but this is the worst beer by far that I have ever had. Hands down, crap in a bottle; for $50 bucks a case I not only feel raped but robbed as well.

Poured with a strawberry red hue added to the malty amber body. Love the color but the head was borderline nonexistent.
The scent is quite pretty with a bouquet of sweet strawberry and sorghum, as advertised.
The taste is like a strawberry wine. Almost Zinfendal like in taste there's a bit of harshness. I don't detect much in the way of buckwheat or the sorghum, just strawberry sweetness.
Overall I can appreciate the effort but perhaps strawberry is not meant to be in an ale as the sweetness overpowered the rest of the beer.

This brew pours and orange-brown color with a small head which dissipates quickly;minimal lacing and lots of carbonation.
The smell is strawberries, honey, lemongrass. It is kind of funky, damp and syrupy.
The taste is strawberries, some honey, not enough, a weird earthy, potato like flavor; I guess it is the sorghum. The high carbonation kind of gets in the way of the taste. Strawberry dominates the taste.
The mouthfeel is strong with carbonation. I can't say much else about it.
This brew is okay on a hot day, I am drinking it on a hot day right now, but there is too much carbonation and not enough hops, like most fruit beers, for me to say that I would like to have this again.

Clone Wars voice actor Matt Lanter not only gives Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker his voice, but also plays a role in the hit relaunch of 90210. Here's what he has to say about his work on The Clone Wars.
On playing Anakin Skywalker in the animated series 'The Clone Wars': "I knew it was going to be a huge thing because it was 'Star Wars,' but I honestly didn't know it was going to be this huge. I think we're the number one show for boys 6 to maybe 15 on cable and network combined. In 161 countries… I feel a closeness to that character. He's there in appearance but I add the life and sound to him. My mom thinks she's watching me when she sees the cartoon."
On getting the part: "[They called me in for] a character called Deep Star Killer. I researched as much as I could on the Internet about Deep Star Killer but I couldn't find a thing, so I decided to wing it. They told me got for something between Luke Skywalker and Han Solo. Evidently they liked it – they called a few days later to tell me I got the part, 'and by the way, it's Anakin Skywalker, so welcome to the series.'"
"I walked in [to Skywalker Ranch] and the first thing George Lucas said was, 'Anakin!' To have him call me Anakin… it was mind-blowing. What an honor."

How Robert V. Sinnott finds a 'win-win' deal for Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors clients
Financial Services
Robert V. Sinnott believes in the idea of partnership and "doing the right thing" as a staple of a successful investing strategy. In the late 1990s, a rogue oil trader was crippling a Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors portfolio company, and the company was not likely to survive.
Sinnott, president, CEO and chief investment officer at Kayne Anderson, worked closely with the company's management to navigate and source a large equity investment to support the company's long-term success.
The portfolio company is now one of the largest and most respected master limited partnerships (MLPs) in North America. Both firms have prospered from the long-term relationship.
Upon joining Kayne Anderson in 1992, Sinnott brought his unique approach and deep knowledge of the energy industry, which has not only led to generating impressive returns but also to revolutionizing the energy markets by fostering institutional ownership of the industry, thus changing MLPs' access to capital.
Sinnott sees to it that the Kayne Anderson reputation and business philosophy inspires confidence among investors and portfolio companies. The firm focuses on accountability and living up to commitments to create a sense of trust that leads to mitigating risk and continued business relationships.
Trust also begins with open communication. Sinnott believes that oral commitments are as strong as written, and insists that his team negotiate personally, rather than slipping legalities into agreements.
He also argues that terms should be mutually beneficial — an "everyone wins" mentality. If one party is in a distressed situation, you might get a little more out of the party now, but the party will be less likely to return on the next deal.
To help ensure return business, Sinnott searches for win-win deals and develops long-lasting partnerships. In the economic downturn in 2008, many investment firms were limiting investor withdrawals. Kayne Anderson recognized the uncertainty investors faced, and worked hard to ensure the liquidity investors had come to rely on.

How David Levine and Wireless Environment provide a better lighting solution
NEO Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year
David Levine
Wireless Environment, LLC
Wireless Environment, LLC, founded in 2006 by David Levine and Michael Recker, is a JumpStart company that invents technology and manufactures products to enable LED lights to perform effectively when off the electrical grid.
Wireless Environment provides design services for lighting manufacturers looking to gain a competitive advantage through proprietary power management features and off-grid operation. The company's technology allows LED luminaires and lamps to determine the optimal times to draw power from the electrical lines and when to go off-grid for reasons such as unreliable power or outages, spikes in energy cost, and heavy demand on the grid.
Wireless has also developed and launched a line of battery-powered LED light fixtures that improve safety and security and operate during a power failure. These products — under the Mr. Beams brand — use a patent-pending power management system and have radio frequency capabilities to network throughout the home.
Currently, Wireless has three product lines — Mr. Beams, a line of indoor/outdoor portable LED light fixtures; ReadyBright, a wireless power outage lighting system; and SwitchSense, a module that turns LED luminaires and lamps into power failure lights.
When Levine, who is president, was deciding how to sell his company's products, he knew entering the retail market was risky. So Levine chose to sell through Amazon.com instead of a traditional store-based model. By selling through Amazon.com and other Internet-based selling formats, Levine mitigated his risk. Wireless has the ability to sell its products at a higher margin than if it were to sell to a large retailer.
Another area where Levine took on significant risk was with the company's patents. Having patents on technology, brands and products are very important to the success of the business. Levine has spent several years trying to patent ideas on wireless lightning, and it has been a challenge to accomplish. Wireless Environment currently has five patents with more than 17 patents applied for and pending.

How Jeff Green focused his vision on seeing the future of online advertising with The Trade Desk
For Jeff Green, his online ad exchange company The Trade Desk is the culmination of a career spent trying to make media buying more efficient. Green started his Internet work experience while in college working for Microsoft to supply technical support — but soon was focused on with his vision of improving transparency and efficiency in online advertising.
In 2004, when everyone else in the online advertising industry doubted ad exchanges, Green founded AdECN, the first exchange for online advertising. He has since been constantly trying to improve processes to make them more efficient.
As the founder and CEO of The Trade Desk, and with his background in the industry and analytical ability, he brings his vision to reality — he can delve into what he describes as the "intricacies of online marketing" and successfully capitalize such a business opportunity.
He knows his vision and can sell it as a product to his customers and colleagues. In leading his team, Green knows the delicate balance between pushing his teammates for the best results and not micromanaging.
The Trade Desk has grown rapidly, including expanding from about 20 employees to the current number of 50 in one year. Not only is Green successful at obtaining more talented employees as his business grows, but he retains those already on board. Since the start of the company in 2009, only five people have left. More than 75 percent of employees acknowledge that working at The Trade Desk is the best job they have ever had.
Green is not only entrepreneurial; he is also community-minded and charitable. When his son's private school had no other choice but to cut the school year short because of insufficient funds, Green volunteered to help solve the problem by using his online ad exchange platform to raise money. The school raised enough funds so it did not have to cut education time short.

How Kris Snyder provides mobility services to companies at Vox Mobile
NEO Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year
Kris Snyder
Vox Mobile
Kris Snyder is a driving force in the high growth, billion-dollar managed mobility services market. Having founded Vox Mobile as an entrepreneur inside a $200 million systems integrator and ultimately spinning it into its own venture, Snyder demonstrated his thought leadership and insight into the growth trends in enterprise mobility.
Starting Vox Mobile in 2006, Snyder recognized the potential to create value through mobility services before anyone else. At that time, organizations were becoming increasingly reliant upon mobile devices.
While plenty of competitors and organizations had invested in technology to implement and deploy personal computers, he recognized that there would soon be a need to provide these same services for mobile equipment, which has increased since consumer products like the iPhone and iPad were released.
Enterprises are now facing significant challenges ensuring issues like mobile enterprise security, employer software configuration and customer support do not decrease the productivity of their respective organizations worldwide. These issues are coming to a head as organizations contemplate how to allow employees to "Bring Your Own Device," or BYOD, rather than issuing company devices.
Snyder's customers call upon Vox Mobile to design, procure, deploy, support, manage and analyze their mobile devices. Snyder emphasizes and provides a culture to enable and empower his employees to provide satisfactory solutions to its callers every time to reduce customers' frustrations and potential down time.
This requires a commitment to hiring top talent who are inventive, knowledgeable and believe in his vision. During 2012, he nearly doubled the number of employees, and Snyder continues to promote the innovation of software that allows for incremental scalability.
Snyder's vision and ability to innovate in this niche industry has enabled the growth of Vox and mobile technology as a whole. This has created more than 40 percent sales growth during the last two years, with an additional 40 percent growth being forecast in 2013.

How Tim Cadogan turned OpenX into a digital and mobile advertising tech leader
A volunteer with the Sierra Madre Search and Rescue team who has contributed to the rescue of more than 90 lost or injured hikers, CEO Tim Cadogan finds the same joy in performing missions for OpenX.
The company first began in 1998 as an open source project in Europe, where its digital and mobile advertising technology became widely adopted. While it was a good basic product, there was no business model.
Coming on board as CEO in 2008, Cadogan had to start from scratch as the first U.S. employee, incorporating the company and defining a vision and strategy for a new kind of advertising technology platform business.
OpenX's seeks to unleash the full economic potential of digital media companies. Its solutions provide a unique software as a service platform by combining ad serving, an ad exchange, a supply side platform and content valuation.
Cadogan began with building a high quality team with the right skills to deliver on a vision to create a comprehensive display-ad platform for publishers, an alternative to industry titans Google, Yahoo! and Microsoft.
This mission has remained constant, and OpenX now employs 282 people. The company has seen sustained profitability since the fourth quarter of 2011 and now powers a solution for thousands of customers globally.
At the heart of Cadogan's approach is actionable innovation. OpenX was one of the pioneers of Real-Time Bidding in the digital ad exchange space, which continues to account for the largest and fastest growing portion of the company's revenue. Additionally, its Open-SaaS ad server is, via its innovative application program interface design, a platform that allows its partners to innovate to match their own requirements.
In the past 12 months OpenX has created two industry firsts — the first ad serving solution to acquire and fully-integrate a supply-side platform, LiftDNA, and the first company in the ad technology space to add a content valuation solution, JumpTime.
Future plans include core innovation, scale, global expansion and multi-screen.

How Yuval Brisker and TOA Technologies is solving the problem of wasting time
NEO Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year
Yuval Brisker
co-founder, president and CEO
TOA Technologies
It was in 2003 when Yuval Brisker co-founded TOA Technologies and began to deliver what would be a world-class software, ETAdirect, a cloud-based field service and customer experience management solution. Brisker and TOA co-founder Irad Carmi were the creators and innovators who took on the challenge of solving the common problem of having to wait for the cable installer.
TOA stands for time of arrival, and through the company's innovative mobile platform, companies managing employees on the move can more effectively and efficiently determine when a service or product can be delivered.
In its infancy, the main obstacle facing TOA and Brisker was determining the optimal platform for the product to be delivered to customers. The focus was on building a unique application that did not require installation. The result was the one-of-a-kind Web-based service product operating in the cloud.
Today, TOA is a rapidly expanding global company that is primarily gaining in size through organic growth in two ways — geographically and vertically. The company has primarily focused on the cable and telecommunications industries in the past; however, it is now expanding into other markets such as utilities, insurance and any home-delivery based service market.
This rapid growth presents multiple challenges for TOA, specifically software version control. The company has stayed committed to a software solution that has the same basic application platform across all the various customer configurations, which allows TOA to simplify its product maintenance and keeps costs low. TOA is able to meet its customers' needs by understanding how each does business and by understanding their processes. This then translates into a configuration specific to that customer.
Along with expanded growth comes the challenge of an increasing workforce. TOA has increased its workforce nearly 50 percent since last year. Brisker prides himself on the high level of employee retention the company boasts, which speaks to the successful culture he has fostered at TOA.

How Jeff Stibel grows Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp. by building reputations
When Jeff Stibel founded Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp., he wanted to assist businesses in establishing their reputation as credible enterprises.
Formerly the president and CEO of Web.com, Stibel saw there was a significant need for small businesses around "credibility." He and his team founded a company around this need. Determined that it was critical to have a brand name in credibility, Stibel acquired the rights to certain assets from Dun & Bradstreet in 2010.
The business he acquired had a declining revenue base, but Stibel wanted the storied brand, ability to use the name and the ability to tap the data. He quickly shut down the existing business and reformed it to provide credibility analysis for businesses throughout the U.S. and Canada.
If you look at employment growth alone, you would conclude that he's been a success. Starting with just eight employees, the company has now grown to more than 600 employees.
But that is not the only impressive attribute. Stibel has become well-known for his "failure wall" where employees write about their business mistakes and miscues. He believes that every failure is an opportunity to learn and grow. The principals of positive failure have even been incorporated into the company's performance evaluations — employees are graded on failures and calculated risk-taking.
Stibel believes in the importance of creating an outstanding workplace environment for his team to thrive. In appreciation of his staff, he began an innovative education savings plan, which allows his employees to set aside a wage-deferred contribution that is company-matched. He then triple matches it by donating directly to the school district.
Additionally, Stibel rewards high-performing employees each year with an all-expense paid vacation. Not surprisingly, his company has a low turnover rate. In just three years, the company has grown into a business that is experiencing significant growth, and became profitable in 2012.

How Jeff Concepcion serves clients better through Stratos Wealth Partners
NEO Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year
Financial Services
Jeff Concepcion
founder and CEO
Stratos Wealth Partners, Ltd.
Jeff Concepcion spent 22 years with a large wealth management company advancing into senior leadership roles and always looking for a more efficient and effective way to service his clients and grow his team.
He had honed a unique delivery model that he prepared to roll out at his former firm when a management shakeup led to his unemployment. Declining a severance package because it was tied to a non-compete clause, Concepcion had a vision for a better company, took his white paper idea and founded Stratos Wealth Partners in 2008.
Through his strong commitment to ethics, integrity and execution, the founder and CEO of Stratos has built the company into one of the 15 largest wealth management firms in the U.S.
Concepcion has grown the firm with offices in 17 states and 127 affiliated wealth advisors. His strong commitment to fiscal stewardship and a relentless focus on customer service and execution has resulted in profits that have tripled and revenues that have doubled.
The early years of the firm were challenging as the company lost money in its first year. Concepcion did not take pay in the first three years to assure he could reinvest in the business while also paying out equity to his early partners.
Stratos is built on an innovative delivery model where affiliates earn equity versus commissions with more proven growth over time than they could grow on independently.
Stratos has also brought cutting edge technology to wealth management with the use of iPad order entry applications in a Citrix environment that many larger firms have been unable to execute on.
Stratos has tripled its IT support and has been able to remove the administrative and regulatory burden common in the industry so affiliates can focus on client service.
Concepcion has built an explosive, profitable company that will continue to expand while delivering personal satisfaction and financial security to his partners and affiliates.

How Rick Stollmeyer refused to give up on a deal that helped Mindbody take a big step
Consumer Services
Rick Stollmeyer would not have been the only person to put a potentially life-altering business deal on hold in the fall of 2001.
The fact that this deal involved expanding his business to New York City, which was still grasping to find some sense of normalcy in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, only gave Stollmeyer more justification to hold off.
But as soon as the airports opened again, Stollmeyer dismissed the fears that many felt about flying so soon after the attacks and headed to New York to finish the deal for Mindbody, Inc. The client could not believe that Stollmeyer had made the trip, but ultimately signed off on the deal because he had made the trip. It got even better when Stollmeyer realized that a woman he had met on this leap-of-faith trip would eventually become the woman he would marry.
A strong work ethic, commitment to getting the job done, and the ability to remain focused and tune out distractions are traits that Stollmeyer took from his experience in the U.S. Navy. They each helped him build Mindbody into the largest cloud-based software provider in the health, wellness and beauty industries.
The business is run on a foundation of Stollmeyer's personal leadership traits. One of his greatest successes is actually his inability to integrate into the typical corporate environment. He tried the more corporate approach but after witnessing the lack of compassion, drive and deeper meaning that came with it, he decided to unleash his own entrepreneurial spirit and hasn't looked back since.
Stollmeyer expects a lot from his employees and values competence and character in every person who works for him. Compassion is the third of the three Cs that are important to him. He wants employees to care about their colleagues as much as they do themselves. The result is a vibrant and productive work environment, and a company that continues to grow.

How Walter Rosebrough Jr. developed a strategy to keep Steris Corp. on the right track
NEO Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year
Public Company
Walter Rosebrough Jr.
president and CEO
Steris Corp.
When Walter Rosebrough Jr. joined Steris Corp., the billion-dollar global business was struggling with low growth, a high overhead cost structure and questions regarding its go-to-market strategy. In addition, health care reform was in its beginning stages, which posed the threat of limited growth in Steris' primary market.
Rosebrough worked with management and the board of directors to develop a strategy for restructuring and a growth program to move the company forward.
Rosebrough recognized that Steris had a prestigious history and great potential. What he could not have foreseen were the unanticipated challenges that hit the company within a few months of his arrival, which were notification from the FDA that the company's foundational and flagship product, System1, could face extinction in the U.S.; a global financing meltdown that impacted spending in all markets and particularly capital spending, which is 40 percent of Steris' revenue; the uncertainty of health care reform; and aggressive intervention by two activist shareholders.
The results that Steris employees have accomplished in the face of those challenges have been stellar. The company has grown earnings per share at a compound growth rate of 15 percent per year from fiscal years 2008 to 2012. This performance is in excess of the general market, the health care equipment and supplies industry and Steris' comparative company peers.
As of this year, Steris only had a couple major products that existed six years ago, truly showing the impact of Rosebrough's emphasis on research, development and product line reinvigoration.
A major initiative was to in-source parts of production that have historically been outsourced. Steris invested more than $20 million in capital through the course of 18 months, and as a result, created better quality, enhanced delivery reliability and lowered costs, all while creating hundreds of jobs in the U.S. and in Northeast Ohio.

I've been sending packages through Transglobal for 5 years now and never had cause for complaint. However, saying this, I do wish they would have a back button in order to review /add things, it is very infuriating, when all you hard work get's wiped out due to the lack of this facility. Their prices are very, very good/competitive, when sending parcels to Mexico/Thailand/Sardinia/USA, to name a few places and is so much cheaper than paying the airlines to take extra luggage and not having to wait for it to come around the carousel at your destination too. Why not give it a go, you have nothing to loose, insurance is included and it saves so much time and hassle.
Ordered 3 items but 1 was OFS. However the Mini satchel and boots both arrived very quickly. I love the mini satchel, but got caught in the rain with the boots and they watermarked very badly so cannot wear again :-(
Was with this network for a quite a few years. When the customer service was in the UK, it was so much better. Problems were ironed out in a jiffy and satisfactorily, but since the customer services have been in Asia, they have really gone down the pan. It took nearly the whole length of my 24 month contract to get a phone that actually worked. I notified them within 7 days of starting the contract, that the phone didn't recieve a signal indoors, but nothing was done about it, just phone calls and messages asking me to "rate" my customer service experience. I completely lost count of the number of calls to CS to report the same problem and finally, when someone did (sort of) listen, there were no records of me every reporting it before the previous 6 months!!! Anyway I finally did get another phone (because it failed completely and I was fedup with contributing towards 3's christmas parties - oh yes they'd taken my money every month), not a new one but a refurbished model, which was better than nothing as at least I could make, recieve calls, messages ect. in my own home, without going outside to use it!! My advise would be to go with a company that has call centres/customer service in the UK , understand what the employee is actually saying, they understand your problem, without reading from a script and leaving you on hold for ages and ages,(I almost lost the will to live, on several occasions) while they "speak to a manager". All in all this was a good company until the customer services/call centres were sent to Asia.
I hate Paypal, they should be allowed not charge you fees on the postage costs that are added into the payment. Ebay bully you into using Paypal (they are owned by Ebay) and therefore get massive fees out of sellers.
I do use Aldi, occasionally and only when their product prices are lower than any other supermarket (which they should be) and not compare their prices with other supermarkets who allow you to pay with credit cards as they are a "cash only" company.
Tesco sucks. Eggs went up in our local store by 24p on Monday 12/03/2012 as soon as the annoucement about the EU not complying with cage sizes. Aldi's eggs stayed the same price 99p for 10 but Tesco's £1.19 for ten smaller eggs. What a rip off! When they give money off petrol they recoup it three fold by 1. increasing the price of the petrol, 2. increasing item prices in their stores, 3. Leaving higher priced articles on the shelves and not re-stocking with lower priced similar items. They have had numerous small shops closed down, because they could not compete with Tesco's buying power then once all small shops closed prices increase dramatically. Staff (especially the supervisors and those on the deli and fish counters), get all the best reduced prices, they have them put away until their shifts finish, and only then what is left is put out for the general public to buy when staff already get a discount off their food purchases. All in all check out prices everywhere else before handing your hard earned cash over to Tesco. Asda & Morrison's usually have better prices. Tesco rely on captive markets when all other shops in the vicinity have gone out of business. Support your small family shops, you'll get far better customer service before Tesco is the only name you'll see on the high streets and prices will be sky high.
Purchased this for a friend, who had been given rave reviews for this product. The item came well packed and the post was fast too :-) I would thoroughly recommend this site to anyone and the price was amazing.(I would have bought this from a small local chemist, but they did not stock it.)

Ahead of Thursday night's home football game at the University of Virginia, officials want students to pledge to "Remember the Game."
Hundreds of flags on UVa.'s Lawn represent fourth-year students who signed the Remember the Game pledge. It's an effort to prevent the so-called fourth-year fifth, where students attempt to drink a fifth of alcohol on the final home game of the season.
Hundreds of students have already signed the pledge from the Gordie Center for Substance Abuse Prevention.
"It's this sense of, the last home game, make it one that you remember, especially with the great win we had on Saturday, and we really want to remind students how important it is not to have too much, to make sure you remember the game and always have a good plan," said Susan Bruce, the Gordie Center's director.
The pledge is a student-driven initiative, largely funded by the UVa. Parents' Committee.
