Dozen Roses slingback sandal
"As someone who is used to wearing 3 3/4" - 4" heels I have to say these sandals are almost too comfortable. The need to take pressure off my knees, yet still remain stylish led me to these. They are very cute and comfortable without looking sloppy or overly casual. Have narrow to normal width foot & find the fit great."

Comfy and cute
"I work in retail and stand on my feet 8 hours a day. I wore these yesterday and they were really comfy without being frumpy looking. I bought the orange and the color is perfect. Being able to order the wide width for extra comfort was a huge plus."

So cute and comfortable
"I bought these in the Navy/white. First, I was very impressed with the shipping. I submitted my order at 8 pm on a Sunday night and they were at my door 8am Tuesday morning! The shoes themselves are definitely worth the price, also. Although the color says they are navy, they almost look gray from far away. Therefore, they are very easy to match and can be worn with almost anything. They are also very comfortable. I wore them for 6 hours on my feet and didn't cause any pain!"

Great find!
"I bought these shoes because I needed a light, and comfy spring shoe. These are perfect! The color goes with almost anything, and I have successfully made it through my first use with no blisters! The style is padded on some parts to avoid uncomfortable "break in." I definitely recommend them to anyone who's looking for a fashionable, comfortable sneaker."

Love Vans
"I've worn Vans for years and love how casual-cute they are for most weather. After they've worn in they're just about my favorite pair in the closet. The navy stripes are kind of nautical which I love! Clean and stylish all the way. My feet are relatively wide which is why I say they're narrow but they'll relax as I wear them."

Winding Down
by gwilson on Dec.22, 2009, under Uncategorized
The end of this Fall 2009 semester is upon us and activities in the McMurry BIMS program are winding down. Students are home for the holidays, grades have been posted, and faculty are closing the chapter on one course while preparing for the semester to come.
This also represents a winding down period for my role as dean of the School of Natural and Computational Sciences. Beginning next semester, I will return to my first love (academically) and rejoin my faculty as a professor. I will continue to teach microbiology but also will create some new courses for the benefit of BIMS students. Expect the first new offering, an advanced microbiology elective, to be previewed on campus next fall. It ought to be fun.
In the meantime, for all our students and friends I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and blessings for the coming year. May we all acknowledge the Greatest Gift of them all – a Savior born in Bethlehem to save His people. Any other gift we might receive pales in comparison.

Get a move on with the fitbit ultra!
I am walking everywhere — to the bank and to the post office — I am doing this all because of my Fitbit Ultra. The Fitbit Ultra is a super tricked-out pedometer that measures your daily steps and wirelessly tracks your efforts on your computer. The American Heart Association recommends that everyone take 10,000 steps a day. I thought that as a busy Mom, who is continually running in circles, cleaning and putting away toys, I was walking way more than that. But I got my fitbit and soon realized that I was only doing around 5,000 steps a day, which is what most people do. Now that I have my fitbit, I have become obsessed with taking 10K+ steps a day. It is amazing how it just takes a little extra stroll to get to 10k. Now I make a point of parking further away from the door to the supermaket and I will walk through the front door as opposed to the closer side entrance of my condo. [read more]

We've noticed an odor coming from around the kitchen sink area. We've deorderized the drains and garbage disposer with all sorts of cleansers but the smell still persists. It seems like it may come from behind the dishwasher - it's almost like a sour, pungent smell. Any ideas? (I know it seems like a needle in a haystack!) Thanks.

Advanced Cholesterol Essentials (30 softgels, 1-month supply)
Item# CHE11
Save 10% Plus Get FREE Shipping on Today's Order with AutoDelivery! What is AutoDelivery?
What makes Advanced Cholesterol Essentials
so effective?
Advanced Cholesterol Essentials contains a remarkable state-of-the-art blend of ingredients which goes far beyond ordinary cholesterol supplements. This amazing clinically studied formula:
- Promotes normal total cholesterol and triglyceride levels
- Lowers LDL levels while maintaining constant HDL levels
- Provides antioxidant support so that LDL cholesterol won't oxidize
- Supports the cells that line your veins and arteries, helping them to flex naturally with every heartbeat
- Promotes a normal inflammatory response throughout the body for true cardiovascular health
In other words, Advanced Cholesterol Essentials does more than just help you hit your target cholesterol numbers—it also directly supports the overall health of your circulatory system.
You could see the difference starting in just 4 weeks
When you get your blood tested again after 4 to 8 weeks of taking Advanced Cholesterol Essentials, you should see:
- Lower LDL and lower total cholesterol numbers
- Stable HDL ("good cholesterol") levels
- Improved triglyceride levels
Just ONE pill daily!
Other cholesterol supplements typically contain a combination of ingredients that require you take as many as 4 pills per day. But Advanced Cholesterol Essentials delivers a full research dose with just one pill per day—a tribute to the effectiveness of this impressive cholesterol solution.
What does Advanced Cholesterol Essentials contain?
The cutting-edge formula contains Cholactiv®, a custom blend of four natural ingredients:
- Leucoselect® Phytosome (grape seed extract and phosphatidylcholine from soy)—a powerful compound belonging to a family of antioxidants that support healthy microcirculation at the cellular level.
- Evening Primrose Oil—a natural source of linoleic acid and gamma-linoleic acid to help promote healthy blood vessels.
- Tomato Extract (10% lycopene)—a potent, easily absorbed antioxidant that keeps LDL cholesterol from becoming dangerously oxidized.
- Policosanol—derived from rice bran, this compound helps the liver to capture LDL cholesterol, so that levels in your bloodstream are improved.
This precise combination has been scientifically tested in 2 clinical trials showing it promotes normal cholesterol and healthy triglyceride levels. Click here to learn more.
You're next! Prove it to yourself
There's nothing as exciting as getting your blood test results and seeing the improvement for yourself. After 4 to 8 weeks of taking Advanced Cholesterol Essentials, you could be telling your doctor how you lowered your LDL and total cholesterol levels—naturally!

The research behind Advanced Cholesterol Essentials…
In 1 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, 60 people were given 2 soft gels of the precise ingredients in Advanced Cholesterol Essentials daily for 6 weeks. If you look at the black line on the first chart below, you'll see that after just 4 weeks, the subjects had a 10% drop in total cholesterol. A couple of weeks later, their total cholesterol was down by 13%.
10% Lower Total Cholesterol After Just 4 Weeks!
But that's not all… In this same clinical trial, a significant decrease in LDL cholesterol—over 14%—was observed after 4 weeks. It continued to drop, reaching over a 17% decrease by the 6th week. Ultimately, 90% of the people in this research had their LDL reduced by more than 20%!
[call-out pointing to 4-week diamond on black line in chart below:]
14% Lower LDL Cholesterol After Just 4 Weeks!
For the record, HDL ("good cholesterol") levels remained remarkably constant during this study, which is great news because that's the number you don't want to be reduced.
The research doesn't stop there
A second study, an open trial, showed even more impressive improvements over time. After taking one Advanced Cholesterol Essentials softgel daily for 8 weeks, participants experienced an amazing 21% decrease in total cholesterol and a 15% decrease in triglycerides.
You're next! Prove it to yourself
There's nothing as exciting as getting your blood test results and seeing the improvement for yourself. After 4 to 8 weeks of taking Advanced Cholesterol Essentials, you could be telling your doctor how you lowered your LDL and total cholesterol levels—naturally!

For the past three centuries Charleston has survived wars, fires, earthquakes and hurricanes - and through it all, retained both her beauty and her dignity. Today Charleston stands as a model of historic preservation, restoration and artistic expression. The Old and Historic District, which traces its origins to the 1670s, contains some 3,000 historic buildings. This is no accident. Instead, it is the result of the ongoing and dedicated efforts of people working together to preserve Charleston's distinctive character.
While over 12,000 buildings in South Carolina have been placed on the National Register of Historic Places, fewer than 80 have been designated by the US Department of the Interior as National Historic Landmarks - the highest possible designation for a historic site. Charleston's Old and Historic district is a National Historic Landmark, as are most of the individual member properties of the Charleston Heritage Federation. We recommend that you make a point of discovering all of them …they truly are "The Essential Charleston."
A house museum of the Middleton Place Foundation, the Edmondston-Alston House overlooks the Cooper River much as the family related plantation at Middleton Place overlooks the Ashley. It was built by Scottish merchant Charles Edmondston in 1825 and remodeled in1838 by rice planter Charles Alston in the then popular Greek Revival style. The handsome interiors with interesting and elegant architectural details are enhanced by the 19th-century family furnishings of the highest quality and impeccable provenance that have been in place for over 170 years. In 1861, General Pierre G. T. Beauregard watched the bombardment of Fort Sumter from the second-floor piazza. Later the same year, General Robert E. Lee took refuge in the Alstons' house when a raging city-wide fire threatened his hotel.

Since 1808, visitors have admired the grand Federal townhouse of Charleston merchant Nathaniel Russell. Set amid spacious formal gardens, the Nathaniel Russell House is a National Historic Landmark and is widely recognized as one of America's most important neoclassical dwellings. The graceful interior with elaborate plasterwork ornamentation, geometrically shaped rooms and a magnificent free-flying staircase are among the most exuberant ever created in early America. Today the Nathaniel Russell House interprets the lives of the Russell family, as well as the African American slaves and artisans who were responsible for maintaining one of the South's grandest antebellum townhouses.

The Aiken_Rhett House stands alone as the most intact townhouse complex showcasing urban life in antebellum Charleston. Built in 1818 and expanded by Governor and Mrs. William Aiken Jr. in the 1830's and 1850's, the house has survived virtually unaltered since 1858. As an intact "townhouse complex," the house speaks powerfully about the interconnections among all members of the household. Original outbuildings include the kitchen, stable, coach house and living quarters once occupied by enslaved African Americans.

College of Charleston - The Avery Research Center for African American History and Culture is located on the site of the former Avery Normal Institute. Founded in 1865, the Avery Normal Institute was a nationally recognized African-American educational institution that trained young adults in professional careers and leadership roles for nearly 100 years. The Institute closed in 1954, but its graduates carried on its legacy and tradition of community leadership and educational excellence. This was especially apparent in 1978 when Avery graduates organized the Avery Institute of Afro-American History and Culture, a community-based historical society. In 1985, members of the Institute cooperated with the College of Charleston to found the College of Charleston's Avery Research Center for African American History and Culture. The Avery Research Center was established to collect, preserve, and make public the unique historical and cultural heritage of African Americans in Charleston and the South Carolina Lowcountry.

Skip to comments.Obama orders US to review aid to Egypt after Morsi ousted
Posted on 07/03/2013 5:16:28 PM PDT by No One SpecialEdited on 07/03/2013 5:19:51 PM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama urged Egypt's military Wednesday to hand back control to a democratic, civilian government without delay, but stopped short of calling the ouster of President Mohammed Morsi a coup d'etat.
In a carefully worded statement, Obama said he was "deeply concerned" by the military's move to topple Morsi's government and suspend Egypt's constitution. He said he was ordering the U.S. government to assess what the military's actions meant for U.S. foreign aid to Egypt -- $1.5 billion a year in military and economic assistance.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
Awww. What's the matter? No terrorists in the government anymore, Barry?
So, why were we giving them our hard earned tax-conficated/borrowed from China in the first place?
Just set up Putin to be Egypt's new best FRiend.
First time I have ever agreed with this putz, as I too want to see a return of a democratically elected......... Egypt?
I thought he was talking about the USA.
I am incensed that we have transitioned from a love and devotion of freedom, to that of democracy. Too bad the GOP sucks so much at promoting freedom.
He admits it was for our future enemy and not the people of Egypt?
Leading from behind.
May have been his goal.
I suppose the POS is worried that Egypt might actually become a friendly nation again. Couldn't give aid to a country like that.
Its all for show.
Is the current $1.5 Billion going to the Muslim Brotherhood, or the actual people of Egypt? Taking that away from the alleged corrupt Morsi regime might not be a bad thing for the new government.
It takes a special diplomatic finesse to manage to alienate both sides at the same time.
Well, I will give him this - he is consistent.
He is an enemy of freedom anywhere.
Dear Lord, give us the strength to see this through.
Projection. The poseur obama is putting himself in Morsi's place and is dreading that the same thing might happen to him. If only...
In other words, Obama's man was defeated.

What a piece of socialist, muslim crap!
The answer for any country is self-sufficiency. The US should butt out and get concerned about the invaders who have just about destroyed the US.
My "leading from behind" keys are all worn.
Looks to me that the Egyptian people have b*lls enough to work hard, create their own wealth, and manage their own affairs without any assistance from us.
Time for Barry and all the other pols to stop giving away the store in exchange for whatever goodies they derive from it.
BS! IMHO Morsi was to back US interests in Syria.
Morsi role at Syria rally seen as tipping point for Egypt army
Morsi himself called for foreign intervention in Syria against Assad, leading to a veiled rebuke from the army, which issued a bland but sharp-edged statement the next day stressing that its only role was guarding Egypts borders
Reuters , Wednesday 3 Jul 2013
Kerrys Secret Gift to Egypt
Jun 6, 2013 4:21 PM EDT
Last month John Kerry quietly approved huge arms shipments to Egyptdespite Cairos ongoing violation of human rights. Josh Rogin reports.
While employees of American NGOs sat in Egyptian prisons, Secretary of State John Kerry quietly waived the law that would prevent the U.S. from sending the Egyptian military $1.3 billion worth of weapons this year.
Egypts Morsi behind murder of U.S. ambassador?
Intel fingers Muslim Brotherhood in deadly Benghazi attack
0's just mad that they're removing one of his Muslim Brotherhood buddy's recent conquests. The Egyptians had to learn the hard way that Islam is a religion of hate and oppression.
Never heard him threaten Egypt with cutting off funding when Murbarak
was still Predident.
Did he donate the money to the RAT Party?
Obama is a fool a dangerous one.
In Chicago politics, there is always a kick back somewhere.
Just like Egypt, we have a Constitution too but that doesn't mean our President is honoring it. He unilaterally overturns and suspends Federal Laws to win elections. We should learn from how Egypt is remedying their problem.
Barry is picking up his marbles and going home to pout.
Anyone think obamas call to review military aid might be if the egyptian military when they rolled out the armor today used obamas last gift to morsy of the new M1 Abrams ?
is Syria put on the back burner now
I wonder how the Israeli press is reporting all this. It would be interesting.
Ptolemy VIII Euergetes II (Physcon) meaning "potbelly" or "bladder" due to his obesity.
"Behold, I am Set, creator of confusion, who creates both the tempest and the storm throughout the length and breadth of the heavens."
(Egyptian Book of the Dead)
If only...
——————————————————————————————Indeed. If only...
The master of petulance.
I wonder if he will give that money back to the Pentagon now to stop the furlough of civilian nurses and doctors at Walter Reed?
Obama's Muslim Bortherhood puppet didn't last long. Barry has a cow.
Aid to Egypt ends because a statute says no aid can be sent to them if there is a military coup. This is the best of all things. The Coptic and secular non throat cutting islamist now rule AND WE DON"T HAVE TO SEND $1.8 BILLION of printed money a year and we can use that money to send National Guard to the mexican border!!
The problem with the GOP is that they think their version of freedom is better than the Rat version of freedom. We do not get our freedoms from government. The only thing government can do is restrict, mold, morph, and change the definition of freedom. We need less government. That will yield more freedom.
"that the same thing might happen to him. "
I see a couple of differences:
Their young folks are not sucking on the welfare teat, are not distracted by facebook and TMZ, etc. They are aware of their govt. situation.
Their military hasn't been gay'ed, and its patriotic leaders haven't been compromised, fired, blackmailed, such as ours have.
Review the aid as he has the Keystone pipeline—take years.
Obama's ego is too big for him to realize that the Egyptian military used the Muslim Brotherhood to get rid of Mubarak, who was setting his family up to rule For at least another generation.
A decent interval has passed and that same military no longer has any use for Morsi. If they had left Morsi alone much longer he'd have gotten rid of the next echelon of officers and the Army would have been neutered. So they had to move and move quickly.
Hmmmph.....can't understand at all why Obama is "deeply concerned."
Today ... The Syrian government... has urged President Morsi to step down in line with his peoples wishes. "
what the military did in Eqypt is the best thing to happen to that country in a year. Every day Obama exposes more and more what a radical scum he is.
"You will do what I tell you to do for the money I pay you".
Evidently the Egyptians have declined the invitation to be Obama's whore.

Prepare to brave transitional weather by repurposing your denim shirts as denim jackets. For a longer, tunic-length denim shirt, just wear it like you would a jacket–slung open. Then throw your shirt over your shoulders for a casual look that's great for dressing down a fancier going-out look. Or purposefully pick a smaller denim shirt (thrift stores are great for these), and wear as a cropped jacket with your summer dresses.

If you've been with us for at least a minute you know that we absolutely love anything that screams 90s. And this outfit by one of our favorite fashion bloggers, Laura Allard-Fleishchl of Ponyhunter, has us screaming all the way back to freshman year of high school. Her front tie cropped denim shirt, high-waisted vintage floral skirt, and mid-thigh lace bike shorts combo is the epitome of a great modern take on a 90s look. Want to transition this outfit into evening? Just add a leather biker jacket and trade in the sandals for a pair of boots.

good looking but not comfy
"I bought those shoes because of its bright colors. I liked them on picture and thought it would be fun to wear them in summer.When I tried them on, it turned out that right shoe is a little wider and bigger then left one... O.K. quality for $30 shoes. Quite heavy and uncomfortable. Picture looks better then in real life. Will return."

Proving What You are Worth
By Ted Henson on Oct 24, 2012
Here is a challenge for everyone. Just about everyone has been asked to provide or calculate the Return on Investment (ROI), so I will assume everyone has a method they use. The problem with stopping once you have an ROI is that those in the C-Suite probably do not care about the ROI as much as Return on Equity (ROE). Shareholders are mostly concerned with their return on the money the invested. Warren Buffett looks at ROE when deciding whether to make a deal or not. This article will outline how you can add more meaning to your ROI and show how you can potentially enhance the ROE of the company.
First I want to start with a base definition I am using for ROI and ROE. Return on investment (ROI) and return on equity (ROE) are ways to measure management effectiveness, parts of a system of measures that also includes profit margins for profitability, price-to-earnings ratio for valuation, and various debt-to-equity ratios for financial strength. Without a set of evaluation metrics, a company's financial performance cannot be fully examined by investors. ROI and ROE calculate the rate of return on a specific investment and the equity capital respectively, assessing how efficient financial resources have been used. Typically, the best way to improve financial efficiency is to reduce production cost, so that will be the focus.
Now that the challenge has been made and items have been defined, let's go deeper. Most research about implementation stops short at system start-up and seldom addresses post-implementation issues. However, we know implementation is a continuous improvement effort, and continued efforts after system start-up will influence the ultimate success of a system.
Most UPK ROI's I have seen only include the cost savings in developing the training material. Some will also include savings based on reduced Help Desk calls. Using just those values you get a good ROI. To get an ROE you need to go a little deeper. Typically, the best way to improve financial efficiency is to reduce production cost, which is the purpose of implementing/upgrading an enterprise application. Let's assume the new system is up and running and all users have been properly trained and are comfortable using the system. You provide senior management with your ROI that justifies the original cost. What you want to do now is develop a good base value to a measure the current efficiency. Using usage tracking you can look for various patterns. For example, you may find that users that are accessing UPK assistance are processing a procedure, such as entering an order, 5 minutes faster than those that don't. You do some research and discover each minute saved in processing a claim saves the company one dollar. That translates to the company saving five dollars on every transaction. Assuming 100,000 transactions are performed a year, and all users improve their performance, the company will be saving $500,000 a year. That $500,000 can be re-invested, used to reduce debt or paid to the shareholders.
With continued refinement during the life cycle, you should be able to find ways to reduce cost. These are the type of numbers and productivity gains that senior management and shareholders want to see. Being able to quantify savings and increase productivity may also help when seeking a raise or promotion.

Green Bay Packers tight end Jermichael Finley went public Friday with his frustration over the $15,750 fine he received for what the NFL determined was an illegal crackback block in last weekend's win over the Baltimore Ravens.
"Thanks To @nfl For The Fine For Playing Football," Finley wrote on Twitter.
Finley wasn't penalized on the field for the block on Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs, who didn't see the block coming near the line of scrimmage on a toss-right run play.
But the NFL determined the block was illegal under Rule 12, Section 2, Article 7 (a) (9), which protects any player in a "defenseless posture" from such blocks.
Finley told reporters in Green Bay he plans to appeal.
INJURIES: Falcons to be without Roddy White
The NFL confirmed earlier in the week that Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh was fined $31,500 for a hit on Cleveland Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden.
New Orleans Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins was fined $15,750 for unnecessary roughness – a hit on New England Patriots receiver Kenbrell Thompkins.
Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict, who was flagged for three 15-yard penalties in a win over the Buffalo Bills, was fined for only one of them: $7,875 for grabbing the facemask.
Dallas Cowboys safety Barry Church wasn't fined for either of the hits on Robert Griffin III that led to unnecessary roughness penalties in a win over the Washington Redskins.
Seattle Seahawks safety Richard Sherman, Arizona Cardinals defensive tackle Darnell Dockett and Houston Texans linebacker Brian Cushing, among others, were fined $7,875 for unnecessary roughness.

Upstate Forever's vision for the Upstate is to be an environmentally healthy and economically prosperous region, with a high quality of life for all. Our mission is to promote sensible growth and protect special places in the Upstate region of South Carolina.
Our goals are to develop clean water, healthy air and abundant green space across the entire Upstate; encourage a pattern of development with reduced fiscal and environmental impacts; and support fully informed and engaged citizens throughout the region. (Read all about it in our recent Strategic Plan, which we are in the process of updating.)
We focus our work on the ten Upstate counties of Abbeville, Anderson, Cherokee, Greenville, Greenwood, Laurens, Oconee, Pickens, Spartanburg and Union through our three programs – Clean Air & Water, Sustainable Communities, and Land Trust.
We believe the Upstate is one the most beautiful places on earth and want to keep it that way forever!
I was born and raised in the Upstate and except for attending school and working one year in Washington, D.C., I have lived here my whole life. This truly is one of the most special places on the planet—a region with spectacular natural resources and a thriving and diverse economic base.
During the last 25 years, I have watched the changes in the Upstate with a mixture of pride and dread. I have been proud to see our region wean itself from almost total dependence on the textile industry, now in serious decline, and attract such corporate luminaries as BMW, Michelin and Fujifilm. I have been proud to see our region's population become more diverse and to see more and better economic opportunities for minorities. I have been proud to see our major cities, mostly shuttered and abandoned in the 1960s, rebounding with vigor and becoming magnets for businesses and downtown residents.
But outside the cities, which comprise only about fifteen per cent of the Upstate's total land area, the news is not good. Low-density residential subdivisions, grotesque commercial strip development, and massive seas of asphalt are consuming our region, fueled by an ever-expanding infrastructure of roads and water and sewer lines.
Indeed, every day in the Upstate, 65 acres of open space—forests, natural areas, wildlife habitat, pastures, farmland, and green fields—are devoured by the voracious growth machine. It is a staggering rate—about five times the rate of our region's population growth, the equivalent of a brand new version of Greenville's Haywood Mall every 30 hours. There is not much we can or should do about population growth in the Upstate, but there is a lot we can do about the inordinate consumption of land and the loss of important natural areas and historic sites. And there is a lot we can do about the quality of development itself.
This is what Upstate Forever is all about: the where and how issues—where our region should be growing and how land should be developed. I founded the organization in 1998 because of the urgent need for a voice in our region for a better and different way to grow—a way that conserves both land and tax dollars.
Yogi Berra said, "When you come to a fork in the road, take it." The Upstate is now at the fork in the road to its destiny. We do have a choice. We can become another Atlanta or we can become something different—a region that prospers both economically and environmentally.
Please join us. As a nonprofit organization, Upstate Forever cannot do its work without the support of our members. Help us make a difference. Help us keep the Upstate as one of the best places in the world. Forever.
Best regards,

A breakthrough technology can pinpoint where a consumer is inside a store.
Bill Siwicki
A smartphone's ability through built-in GPS technology to pinpoint a user's location anywhere on the globe has made location one of the pillars of the mobile experience today. But while GPS can narrow location down to an address, it cannot isolate a smartphone user's location indoors. This blind spot has led to the debut of the relatively new technology known as indoor positioning, which uses tiny sensors mounted in stores or other destinations to pinpoint at a very specific location indoors a smartphone user with an app attuned to the sensors.
Indoor positioning will have an enormous impact on retail strategists, writes Tony Costa, an analyst with Forrester Research Inc., in the recent report "Next in Tech: Indoor Positioning."
"Major mobile players including Google Inc., Nokia and Qualcomm are committed to making indoor positioning a reality, actively mapping thousands of venues worldwide and improving the indoor positioning capabilities of computer chips," Costa says. "Retailers, start-ups and venues are creating indoor positioning-enabled apps that improve engagement through personalized service, action-based rewards, augmented experiences and targeted offers. By integrating indoor positioning with back-end systems, product strategists can realize new benefits, such as enabling consumers to find the exact location of products in stores and the ability to bring the power of web analytics for tracking, targeting and understanding users in the real world."
Web and mobile design and marketing firm Siteworx LLC is among the companies pioneering indoor positioning in retail with the debut of Customer Concierge, mobile commerce technology that retailers can use within their apps or as a stand-alone, retailer-branded app.
"The primary goal of the app is to personalize the in-store experience," says Justin Stayrook, vice president of technical services at Siteworx. "Through personalization and/or segmentation of offers to encourage purchase decisions, the app can be used as an anti-showrooming tactic." The app can serve as a personal shopping assistant and provide special deals and discounts, attracting consumers away from showrooming via Amazon.com's app, for example, Stayrook says.
Customer Concierge is designed to work with a retailer's customer relationship management, web content management, digital asset management and product information management systems, Siteworx says. The technology can present smartphone users with the app on their devices with personalized offers when they walk in or out of a store or a department within a store, Siteworx says. It can provide shopping or project lists related to a location within a store so retailers can promote items customers may have overlooked, the vendor says. And it can deliver product information, price comparisons and suggestions for complementary products within a proximity, the vendor adds.
So, for example, an apparel chain retailer could use the Customer Concierge technology in its app to send to a shopper (regardless of whether he has opened the app) a push notification message with a coupon promoting shoes when he enters or leaves the men's suits department.
The technology is relatively inexpensive—the majority of the cost for Customer Concierge is in the services associated with strategy and implementation, Stayrook says. He would not reveal exact costs.
The sensors or detectors use Bluetooth Low Energy, or BLE, technology. The number of sensors a retailer would install depends on the amount of information it wants to disseminate, Stayrook says. "It also depends on how you want to evaluate and divide your audience," he adds. "In other words, it's a function of how large your store is and to what degree you want to subdivide products and services among customers."
Indoor positioning may become increasingly important as a steadily increasing percentage of smartphone owners use their devices to help them shop in stores, mobile experts say. For example, one in five smartphone owners say they will visit a nearby store if sent a mobile alert when near the store, a recent CouponCabin.com study of 1,096 smartphone owners reveals.
"Making devices responsive to the environment will make in-store shopping relevant and increase the reliability of commerce via mobile," Stayrook says.

Changing Dimensions of International Investment Law
Vaughan Lowe
University of Oxford - Faculty of Law
March 2007
Oxford Legal Studies Research Paper No. 4/2007
The paper reviews the development of the protection of investments in international law, particularly during the past half century. After an initial survey of the main legal instruments it considers the questions of fair and equitable treatment and of protection against unlawful expropriation, and the specific issues of 'umbrella' clauses, multiple claims, the 'fork in the road' and transparency and public participation. The paper is the text of a series of lectures given at the Chinese Academy of International Law in Xiamen, China in September 2006.
Number of Pages in PDF File: 124
Keywords: Investment, BIT, IPPA, ICSID, MIGA, Expropriation, Fair and Equitable Treatment, Transparency, 'Umbrella clause', 'fork in the road'

Just finished watching the Blu-ray.
Bad to the Ass. Great animation, great video quality, visceral audio output.

^ 13k, you can't be serious.
Never heard of both.
What's 2.22 about? I know what Evangelion was about, but what is 2.22, like a continuation, or entirely connected yet different story?
I'm damn serious about that price.
As for Evangelion 2.22:
Yeah, I've seen this anime movie. I almost literally cried because of the epicness especially during the last battle. The animation quality, musical score and cinematography is simply breathtaking. It has a perfect combination of drama and action. I haven't watched the sequel yet. Is it out already? I highly recommend this anime movie.
13K $$$$$$$$.... for a home theater system!! Wow, you must be one heck of a couch potato to spend that much money on a home theater system.
I'm not sure if you're talking about the anime movie or the series. Well, the series was a bit boring sometimes. But i think the movie was really well paced.
I liked the moment of acquiring the godhood much more than in the previous one (was it even godhood then ?). The changed battle scenes were really impresive. There are more EVAs (even prototypes) and they added a secret battle mode ( the beast). I have seen it about a year ago I think (unless we are talking about the 3rd already ;P).
Well that answers my question. I personally never liked Evangelion. I felt it was overhyped, poorly done, and the best thing it had going for it was Rei. Still, I debated whether or not I should give these movies a go. I guess it's worth an order on Amazon.

i watched this and thought it was okay. i'm just waiting for the other two movies that are supposed to be completely new material for this 4 film saga. and there taking forever to release this third film.

OGDB2: Swiss Cheese
February 18 2010 01:34PM
Ah the Swiss. Makers of fine watches and chocolates, inventors of cheese. You are a pleasant mountain nation not unlike Banff, if Banff had a country to call its own that stretched to Jasper and was full of Swiss People.
Yes, if that was a proper country and it had an Olympic Hockey team it would be YOU we are looking to crush tonight in the Ice Hockey Match. So thank your lucky stars you aren't Switzerland Banff, thank your lucky stars.
Funny thing about these here Swiss. They aren't actually all that bad. They have already hung in there with the USA in a 3-1 loss in the first game of an Olympic bid for Gold, which is quite respectable considering the Americans are still relatively fresh in these Games and won't run out of mental gas until the semi finals.
Lest we forget that the last time these two met in Turino in 2006 , the Swiss had the audacity to shut out the Mighty Canadians 2-0.
*moment of silence*
So we can't take the Swiss lightly or they will rear up and bite us, filling our veins with their venomous venom. That's how Swiss people roll, so keep a sharp eye.
Hmmm. What do we have here? Let's take a look shall we?*
*Vegas Todd was kind enough to hook us up with a real roster courtesy of NBC. We don't know why he moved to Vegas, but we appreciate he and his research skills immensely.
Jonas Hiller - Anaheim Ducks
Ronnie Rueger - Kloten Flyers
Tobias Stephan - HC Geneve Servette
Severin Blindenbacher - Farjestads BK Karlstad
Raphael Diaz - EV Zug
Luca Sbisa - Portland Winterhawks
Mathias Seger - ZSC Lions Zurich
Mark Streit - New York Islanders
Yannick Weber - Montreal Canadiens
Andres Ambuhl - Hartford Wolf Pack
Thomas Deruns - HC Geneve Servette
Hnat Domenichelli - HC Lugano
Sandy Jeannin - HC Fribourg-Gotteron
Thibaut Monnet - ZSC Lions Zurich
Thierry Paterlini - Rapperswil-Jona Lakers
Martin Pluss - Bern
Ivo Ruthemann - SC Bern
Raffaele Sannitz - HC Lugano
Julien Sprunger - HC Fribourg-Gotteron
Roman Wick - Kloten Flyers
Big ups to the warsh for the link
Looking down this list of players we don't think that there are a lot of players to be worried about. But then we look at that picture of the Swiss Cobra up there and realize that there is a lot to worry about. The Swiss have all of one forward currently playing in North America and it's in the AHL.
This leaves us wondering how much the Swiss can rely on Mark Streit to score 100% of his team's goals, play sterling defense and possibly Coach the team in between periods if needed. Hiller in net is reasonably sound, except that he is also a total nerd, which ultimately deducts any respect we would give him on account of skill.
Remember Michel Riesen?
Gregor just blew his gasket about the roster we have used for the Swiss team above. (note: we have a real roster now up, but odds are you will keep reading anyway.) One of the only places we could find an actual roster was from the blog linked to above, which claims it took it's information from the IIHF back in late 2009. CTV/TSN/SportsNet/MTV helpfully has no such rosters on their site, but do have a snazzy picture slideshow of some of the players here.
Gregor claims Michel Riesen - former Oilers disaster of a first round pick - isn't playing for the National team. We maintain that he is, because some random blog says he that is. And so went the debate, round and round and round again. This is how Gregor and your ol' pal Wanye spend our days. Yelling about Swiss wingers who disappointed the Oilers last millenium and speculating whether or not they will see action in a loss against the Canadians tonight.
Who will be right? Only time will tell.
That tingling in your arms that you are feeling as you read this is called electricity.
You're welcome.
Fresh off of an 8-0 stomping of the Norweigians - not the Finns as some moron would have led you to believe - the Canadian team is off to a good start. Iginla has discovered that playing with world class line mates improves your results on the ice and Marc Andre Fleury has found an excellent sushi bar right around the corner from the Athletes Villiage where he can try and convince chicks that he is actually in the NHL.
This will be the first real test for the Canadian team tonight, so we will keep our excitement tuned to a maximum high and defer making any judgements of the team until after the game.
Do Kathy Kreiner (CAN) Gold medalist in the 1976 giant slalom in Innsbruck proud fellas.
Let's get at 'er.
If you don't mind me asking, did you go through a tour group? If so which one and was it good. I'm planning a big Euro trip next year and I want it all. Thanks.
For the life of me, I can't remember the name of the company that handled the tour.
If I can dig up the coordinator's e-mail or find the company name, I'll make sure to let you know.
Ya I kinda figured I was wrong not long after I posted it. Thanks bud.
February 19 2010, 06:14PM
Yeah thats the way I read it too, just wanted a second opinion.
And nice to see that your smarter than RossCreek too ;)

By JOHN L. ANDERSONSalt Lake City
As a 70 year old uranium miner, and a descendant of a coal miner, I was absolutely outraged at the attitude of B.J. Sharp-Gudmundson in a recent paper.
Her environmentalist attitude has caused untold misery, sorrow, and damage to this nation. Being a coal miner is an honest, honorable occupation, whether she thinks so or not.
I lost my job in the uranium mines, when her hero, Jimmy Carter, destroyed the nuclear industry 30 years ago. I am sure that this elitist has never been out west, but knows all about our mountain tops being destroyed and all the other things we are accused of including "mucking up the drinking water."
It would be nice to be an Alice in Wonderland, like the environmentalists, who don't need to work in the mines, or livestock industry, or cut down the beautiful forests for lumber and exist on nothing.
We could just live off welfare that is funded by hard working miners, lumberjacks, and ranchers, and we would not need to work anymore as our homes would be automatically heated by clean, sun-powered energy for free and we would no longer need polluting vehicles to get around and no longer need to eat meat that was raised on some horrible, polluting, ranch or farm.
All existing farms and ranches could be shut-down and the land reclaimed into beautiful weeds and grass. It could become future wilderness areas. How wonderful.
I wonder how they would get around? If they lived in their non-polluting caves like cavemen and minded their own business they could have the perfect non-polluting world, except they would have to replace fire to heat their tofu, granola, or whatever, as fire produces smoke, which causes pollution.
It is a national shame and disgrace that someone who enjoys all the benefits of our country, wants to destroy the very industries that made our great standard of living possible. I am also outraged that this elitist would call coal mining a "ruthless industry."
I would be most happy if this person would catch the next moon rocket and live on an orbiting, non-polluting, space station somewhere, and live a perfect, non-polluting existence far, far, away from us terrible people who enjoy our standard of living and working in the coal and uranium mines.
Maybe this elitist could come out west and get a good, healthy, non-polluted, drink of water from the Great Salt Lake. There are no coal mines anywhere near the lake to "muck up the water."

Nice tire overall. Quiet and smooth. So-so performance in rain - or they aren't a good match for my vehicle in the wet. The Michelin tires they replaced were vastly superior in the wet.
However, in dry conditions they're a very nice ride and they seem to last.

A profitable Zone to be in!
It's been another memorable year for the Betting Zone team and its followers with a bumper profit generated.
Having churned out winning tips on a regular basis, we've finished the year 347.16 points ahead to advised stakes - a fine return, we're sure you'll agree.
Our golf men led the way in 2012 - and will now look to do the same in the coming year.
Among Ben Coley's winners were 175/1 shot Merrick Bremner (first-round leader at the SA Open), 100/1 pick Richie Ramsay (Omega European Masters) and 66/1 chance Kyle Stanley (Waste Management Phoenix Open).
David John tipped up Branden Grace at 50/1 (Alfred Dunhill Links Championship) and 40/1 shot JJ Henry (Reno-Tahoe Open), while Dave Tindall had 50/1 winner Paul Lawrie at the Qatar Masters and nailed the correct score in the Ryder Cup as he made big profits in Medinah.
In racing, Ben Linfoot's Value Bet column finished in profit for the third consecutive year after plenty of big-priced winners including Cape Tribulation at 18/1 at the Cheltenham Festival, Tidal Bay at 10/1 in the bet365 Gold Cup, Tullius at 14/1 at Newmarket's Guineas meeting, Sholaan at 14/1 at York, El Viento at 14/1 at Ripon, Captain Ramius at 33/1 in the Ayr Gold Cup and more recently Hello Bud at 14/1 in the Becher Chase.
Our expert columnist, Channel 4 Racing's Simon Holt, also tipped up Captain Ramius and he's been in consistent form all season as a return of more than 40pts profit to advised stakes from over 70 previews suggests. Simon has been in flying form so far this National Hunt season and has tipped Hennessy winner Bobs Worth, December Gold Cup king Unioniste, Christmas Hurdle winner Darlan and King George hero Long Run in recent weeks.
In football, it was another bumper haul in May when our ante-post 2011/12 bets came in.
David John tasted success in the Golden Boot market for a second successive season with 10/1 shot Robin van Persie, while Chris Hammer was smiling after tipping both Bolton (11/2) and Blackburn (10/3) to go down.
We've had plenty of success in match betting too, our Premier League tips being particularly strong of late.
In rugby, our union expert Reece Killworth finished the year with 25 winning previews from the last 36 published and an overall profit of 54 points for the year, while in the league code our man with the inside knowledge, Castleford coach Ian Millward, was also well up for the year. It continued a remarkable run of success over recent years for the Australian who shows a healthy strike-rate in both the NRL and Super League.
The tennis team of Andy Schooler and Derek Bilton ended the year well in profit too, finishing the season with a flourish when 25/1 shots the Czech Republic won the Davis Cup. Derek also contributed plenty of points with his boxing previews.
All in all, it was a great year for the Betting Zone - a site which has now made a profit of almost 3,000 points to advised stakes in the last decade.

Green Power
Agencies can purchase renewable power or renewable energy certificates ("green tags") from a utility or other organization. These certificates can be good choices for facilities where on-site projects are cost prohibitive to construct or utility budgets are too limited to afford high green power price premiums. Using renewable sources for a percentage of a facility's energy requirements can help an agency meet its federal renewable energy goal.
There are three different methods for purchasing renewable power:
Regulated Utility Green Pricing Programs
Some utilities have voluntary programs that allow customers to sign up to purchase renewable energy. Federal agencies can participate in most of these programs and competition is not required. To find out if a utility has a green pricing program, consult the Green Pricing map and the Green Pricing spreadsheet on the Green Power Network website.
Competitive Renewable Power
In states with competitive electricity markets, federal agencies can purchase renewable power through competitive electricity procurements. The Green Marketing map on the Green Power Network website shows states that have competitive renewable power product offerings. Both GSA and the Defense Logistics Agency can assist federal agencies with electricity procurements that specify a percentage of renewable power.
Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) Purchase
Agencies can purchase renewable energy certificates (RECs), also known as "tradeable renewable certificates", "renewable energy credits," "green energy certificates," or "green tags"—an attractive option in locations where renewable power is not readily available. RECs represent the environmental attributes of renewable generation and can be sold separately from the electricity.
For more information, read the Guide to Purchasing Green Power (PDF - 1 MB).
Federal agencies that purchase renewable power may be eligible to join the EPA Green Power Partnership (GPP), a voluntary program designed to reduce the environmental impact of electricity generation by promoting renewable energy. FEMP can help agencies determine the best renewable power purchase option in an area and provide agencies with Green Power Partnership requirements and application procedures. Contact a GSA Energy Division associate, DOE Regional Office FEMP representative, the FEMP Renewable Purchasing Experts listed under contacts, or a local utility to find out more about these options.
