Many organizations find it attractive to selectively outsource some portions of the recruiting process that are highly transactional and require a high degree of scalability. Selective RPO is a service in which the front-end processes such as candidate research, direct sourcing, internet sourcing, candidate screening and/or testing are outsourced to TalentFusion. These processes tend to rapidly scale in line with hiring demand and lend themselves to outsourcing vs. the creation of a fixed overhead internal function or utilizing expensive agencies.
TalentFusion can create a fluid program that will drive significant volumes of sourced and pre-screened candidates into your hiring process. The TalentFusion Selective RPO solution can be redirected in a real-time fashion by the client to new positions at any point throughout the program.

Within TalentFusion's Research Center of Excellence, Research Recruiters will utilize the proprietary TalentFusion Sourcing Analytics Platform to build a custom sourcing solution which includes our proprietary direct sourcing methodology.
By leveraging TalentFusion's experience and sourcing capability to outsource the front end process you can significantly improve cycle times, quality of talent, and gain more control over costs.
Some organizations have the need to manage spikes in recruiting demand that require a rapid response capability to accomplish the tactical hiring goals. Once the hiring goals are achieved the organization needs the cost associated with the project to go away.
TalentFusion can help by rapidly deploying a project-based initiative designed to accomplish the exact hiring or candidate sourcing objective within the client's specific business situation. When your recruiters are over capacity or you simply need a laser focused sourcing or recruitment campaign to generate the necessary on-target candidates, our project-based offering is the perfect solution. Within days of implementation, the client begins to receive a rapidly increasing pipeline of viable candidates that will quickly help to reduce the backlog of openings.
For some clients, once the peak hiring demand is satisfied, TalentFusion goes into a stand-by mode and is at-the-ready to deploy when a new peak or hiring project occurs. This gives clients peace of mind knowing they have a scalable solution that is ready to quickly deploy anytime help is needed.
Our clients can save 50% or more with our approach versus using contingency or retainer agencies. And unlike agencies, we only submit candidates to the client for which we're engaged, thereby minimizing competition of desirable candidates. Furthermore, the entire pipeline of candidates and prospects is provided to the client, allowing for future hires at no additional costs.
Each project is executed against clear Service Level Agreements and rigorous project management disciplines. This approach optimizes performance and maximizes our clients ROI.
Historically, recruiting has been treated as an art form as opposed to a science. As a result, the success or failure of a recruiting engagement has been primarily a function of the capabilities of the individual recruiter executing the process. TalentFusion applies scientific methods to recruitment, thereby, creating a process that allows for more predictable and better quality results.
TalentPath, our project management methodology allows us to establish a process that creates repeatable procedures, accelerates the effective ramp up of each project and insures continuous improvement of the recruiting process. TalentPath is a framework that takes full advantage of the creativity and innovation of the recruiter, while providing sufficient structure to facilitate maximized potential of the recruiting effort as well as ongoing performance enhancement of the individual performer.

|Classic Atlantic Salmon No pursuit rivals salmon rivers, flies & legacy
|Topic Review (Newest First)
I very rarely fish doubles because many of the rivers I fish in Washington State have single-barbless hook requirements in effect when I fish them. This makes it a pain to have a fly box with only doubles in it that I must then remember to take our of my fishing vest before fishing where the single=barbless restrictions are in place or run the possibility of a fine.
The doubles do ride very nicely in the water, and we must keep in mind that Kelson spoke of fishing small doubles in low water. Although he fished large singles in high water.
A G.P. tied in the original manner swims much nicer when tied on a double. but again, I rarely tie or carry them tied on doubles anymore.
|Topher Browne
Three giants of the greased line--A.H.E. Wood, Frederick Hill, and G.P.R. Balfour-Kinnear--preferred the single hook to the double.
Anthony Crossley was a dissenting voice:
"Many extremely good fishermen, including two of Wood's own pupils, definitely prefer double hooks. For myself, in the smaller sizes I infinitely prefer them. Why? First of all because I never have breaks of the hook against the bone of the fish's jaw. Secondly, because it is not my experience that in slow water fish disgorge the flies before the current has tightened the line downstream of the fish. Thirdly, because in fast water where the dropper is of such value, I find they are much more likely to get a grip. Finally, the fish which takes the fly immediately below you (always the worst to hook), is, I think, rather more often brought to the gaff than on singles. Nor have I ever found any evidence that one hook levers out the other, and I think this could only possible happen in the very large sizes."
Anthony Crossley, 1939
It would appear that single vs. double hook is not a new debate......
I prefer doubles because, like Topher, I feel they ride better -- and I need all the presentation help I can get.
I hooked myself once, on the Renous, in the ear with a barbed, number 10 single. The guide removed it painlessly. Fishing the Penobscot one windy day, I hit myself in the back of the head with a 2/0 double, saw stars and almost keeled over into the water.
I usually debarb my hooks. Frankly, I like the take and a couple of jumps. I really wouldn't be upset if I didn't land the fish thereafter. I also don't like landing fish in nets or by pulling them up on the gravel. Tailing takes too much time, so a long-line release is just fine with me.
As you may have guessed, I don't eat salmon or any finny fish for that matter. Its not a matter of ethics. I don't like the way they taste or, worse yet, smell.
Best to all,
I will say again that I can't really offer much of a comparison between singles and doubles, as by law here in British Columbia I have no choice. What I can do, however, is relate how we deal with some of the issues.
As Per notes, the short shank singles greatly reduce the number of fish that "fall off" on the jump due to barbless hooks. Given the chance to do so, I will fish barbed hooks. This only happens when I fish trout in lakes, to go barbless leaves me feeling a little hadicapped. As for steelhead - I have no choice - so I make do. When I fish Washington State rivers I still fish barbless, I guess it just becomes a way of thinking - it would feel like I was stealing or cheating if I used a barbed hook. Like I say, after so many years it only seems natural. It is like mandatory release of wild steelhead - at first it hurt, but now 20 years later -
I wouldn't dream of bonking one.
The stability issue that Topher refers to with singles is a concern. I am a great fan of GP-type flies. The problem with the traditional shell-back GP is its tendancy to roll over - even in moderate flows - a problem that does not exist with a double hook version. To compensate, my GP's employ a wing design that keeps the bulk of the material on top of the fly. I use clumps of marabou tied in two tying stations, 1/3 of the way up and at the head. This combined with the hook creates an exceptionally stable fly. You can see the flies in the Salmon Steelhead Fly Archives, scroll way down to "Tyler's Tubes"
|Willie Gunn
Whilst debarbing over the winter, the Spey Fishery Board have asked for all flies to be barbless, I was struck by just how few doubles I have.
Most of my flies are trebles, I think an Ali Shrimp looks lovely on a size 16, esecially with a long tail.
Gardner mentioned the levering effect and I beleive that this levering is predominant with doubles. So in answer to your question, singles rather than doubles.
I use single hooks for this reason....
I have never hooked myself, (yet) but if I did, I would rather pull a single hook out of my body than a double hook. :eyecrazy:
|Per Stadigh
Dear all,
Of course Topher has a point in this being a matter of taste, more than anything else. Still it feels perfectly normal to debate the merits of various hook types, even if this involves a critical view to those authorities and stalwart traditions that might hamper once choice in some regions. As much as the European tradition has been under influence from some masters, like A.H.E. Wood, whose doctrines when cabled out through various disciples often has led confusion and rather poor drills, I am certain that the American/Canadian situation is the same. Every year on the Kola I meet anglers who are obsessed with Lee Wulff and his liking of ultra light tackle. I admire both Wood and Wulff as being exceptional anglers. But both were special men being spoiled with immense chances to catch fish in prime rivers, and that is worth bearing in mind. By going fine the level of challenge was kept up, the light kit preferred by Wulff probably also suited his mobile way of angling.
Without Wulffs wade-ability and great skills in fish fighting, a tiny rod easily becomes a tool of torture rather than a efficient way to make a fish surrender to a quick release. I have seen sports that fought 14 pounders for almost an hour on a 7 #4 rod. To me this is sheer arrogance and shows little respect to the salmon. It might take more than 15 minutes to get such a fish back in shape, whereas on caught on stouter tackle often enough darts off as soon as the hook is removed.
In a way I feel that the noble use of barbless singles comes out of the same kettle. I obey to it whenever needed, but I never feel entirely happy doing so. Maybe it is a flaw in my character
As for foul hooking I think it is very hard to do so without deliberately attempting to. On the Kola I have caught several hundred June fish on anything from 850 gr. heads to light sink tips. Save one 28 pounder that was snagged in the pectoral fin after me freeing a snag, I have not foul hooked a single one. This has all been a matter of doubles, with few exception where big singles have been used.
Those few fish I have foul hooked through the years all have been when using the floater. Fish that come up and roll over the fly without taking it. It is rare, but that is where it has happened to me.
I will fish doubles, with or without barbs, wherever I am allowed to!!!
As for science I agree with BobK. Still, the deductions one can make out of immense numbers of weeks on the rivers, sometimes in situations where half a dozen a day can be caught, must be to some value. When I first fished the Babine I lost a good share of big fish on the 2-2/0 singles much used up there. Whenever a Steelhead became airborne it was risky stuff. Those heavy irons, without barbs, had a great tendency to fall out .. The year after I used short plastic tubes with Owner 1/0 hooks, and like Tyler, landed at least 80% of the fish being hooked. I think the overall reduced weight in combination with far less leverage due to the shorter shank has a lot to do with this.
Someone asked if I only used tubes? No, no without the real flies it would get boring! Like Topher I find the Loop down eyes to be great, although the Salar hooks mentioned by him are firm favorites, too. They come in silver, as well as black and gold, and a Silver Stoat tied on them looks very deadly.
|Topher Browne
Single Hooks vs. Double Hooks
The logical extension to Malcolm's superb thread on single hooks vs. treble hooks would have to be:
Do you prefer single hooks or double hooks for Atlantic salmon (or any other species), and why?
I fish only singles in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Labrador, and Newfoundland: it is standard practice in those provinces (in Newfoundland, single/barbless hook is law).
I fish a fair number of doubles in Quebec: it is accepted practice in 'La Belle Provence.' I will only fish a double on a floater or a VERY light tip and only in a good current.
Doubles unequivocally ride better than single hooks in a faster flow. On a floater or light tip in the high water of June, a single (depending on pattern) may be less likely to ride point down. I prefer the solid, twin keel of a double hook in a good push of water.
I like a single hook for all sunk line work: singles dramatically lower the chance of foul-hooking a fish. Canadian Maritime rivers do not generally put out the volume of water of, say, the Skagit in Washington or the Gaula in Norway. A single hook on a Fall-run Canadian salmon river is an important consideration.
For double hooks, I now use only the Loop Down-Eyed Double Salmon Hook (not the same as their Tube Fly Double Hook, which has a straight eye). If you prefer an up-eyed double, Mikael Frodin's 'Salar' double--made by Partridge--is the best on the market.
For single hooks, I use only down-eye hooks primarily by Mustad and Partridge. They have less tendency to skate than a traditional, up-eyed salmon hook; and I have greater confidence in their hooking capabilities.
Do you prefer single hooks or double hooks for Atlantic salmon (or any other species), and why?

I am writing to tell you how much my daughter LOVES your queasy drops! She is 13 and has had to have several surgeries in the last 2 months. One of the surgeries was to remove a tumor in her left sinus. The surgery took a toll on her. She is having a lot of problems with nausea. They have given her so many different meds for the nausea and nothing was really working without knocking her out and making her really sleepy. About a week ago our pharmacist gave her 8 of her queasy drops to try (she is pregnant) and they worked!! For the first time in months my daughter was able to get relief without taking another pill!!!
I just wanted to take the time to tell you what an AMAZING product you have!!
Rikki Williams
Our patients have found the Queasy Pops to help settle their stomachs and then be able to consume some liquids or solid food because the queasy pops take the edge off of their nausea or unsettled stomachs. No specific favorite flavor that we have found - everyone is different and has varied taste preferences. The best part about your selection of pops is that some are sweet, others sour, etc so there is no one size fits all, which is great!

I wasn't really all that sick with my first pregnancy but this one seems to have me sick all the time and had me laying on the couch whining like a little child about my tummy. I have that feeling of wanting to throw up and never can (well once). Eating was the worst. I couldn't eat very much because I would get nauseous. I tell you this to tell you that your Preggie Pop Drops save me!!!!!!! Every time I am starting to feel yucky (which is A LOT) I pop one of those awesome little drops in my mouth and almost instantly feel better. In fact I feel SO much better that I have been able to continue to work out during this pregnancy and also have been able to get off the couch and actually potty train my 2 year old. I also SUPER appreciate that you decided not to put the ginger flavored ones in the drops pack because, ironically, the taste of ginger makes me sick to my stomach. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!!!! My husband and 2 year old thank you too!
I am writing this as a bit of a testimony! I am 9 weeks pregnant and have been miserable for the last month. I have been so sick. I have been unable to eat and lost over 10 pounds in the last month. Thank goodness my sister sent me a care package! This wonderful care package was filled with preggie pops and preggie pop drops. I have to say I was hopeful but sceptical. I have to tell you, I started eating a preggie pop drop after the dreaded morning teeth brushing! I noticed an instant change with in an hour my nausea was gone! I had a bit of an appetite and was able to eat lunch and not lose it shortly there after. I am so grateful for this product and will happily recommend it to all of my family and friends that are expecting!
I love preggie pops and preggie pop drops!!!!
Thank you so very much.

- Description
First developed during the Qing Dynasty (1736-1795), the summer gardens near Beijing provided the Emperor and entourage a respite from the hot urban temperatures in the mostly un-treed Forbidden City palace in the centre of the city. An immense artificial lake (Kumming Lake)was dug out and the removed material formed a new hill on the shoreline. One can walk everywhere around the vast grounds, but a popular shortcut is to take an excursion on one of the many "Dragon Ferry" barges. Portions of the complex were burned by French and Enlgish troops in 1860 and again in the Boxer Rebellion of 1902. The Empress Dowager Cixi was responsible for the rebuilding to its present form. Many and varied sites along the pathways make for entertaining walks: a bronze reclining ox, the "cloud dispelling bell", seventeen-arch bridge, Longevity Hill, and so on.

Family: Leporidae, Hares and Rabbits view all from this family
Description Our most common cottontail; has relatively large ears. Upperparts are densely furred in brownish or grayish; belly and undertail are furred in white. Larger than other lowland western cottontails, relatively smaller ears than Desert Cottontail. Range extends into some western states, requiring especially careful scrutiny in Texas and New Mexico where it can easily be confused with the Manzano Mountain and Robust Cottontails, which are restricted to select mountain ranges.
Dimensions 40-50cm, 2-6cm, 800-1500g
Similar Species Different from Appalachian and New England Cottontails by: 1) often showing a white (never black) spot between ears; 2) lacking a black fringe on front edge of ears; 3) lacking a black penciled effect on back.
Habitat Scrub, shrub & brushlands, Meadows & fields, Grasslands & prairies, Forests & woodlands
Range Plains, Great Lakes, New England, Mid-Atlantic, Rocky Mountains, Southeast, Southwest, Florida, Texas, Eastern Canada, Western Canada
Discussion Common in variety of habitats including overgrown fields, meadows, and brushy areas. One additional cryptic rabbit from the mountains of southwestern New Mexico (Hidalgo, Luna, southern Grant counties), S. f. holzneri, is still considered a subspecies since its relationship to Mexican populations of Eastern Cottontails remain unclear.

I do a lot of speaking and these lozenges are very soothing to a dry throat. I keep them in my desk and when I feel an irritation in my throat, I go straight to these lozenges. These ginger ones are a little lumpy in comparison to the eucalyptus lozenges by Wedderspoon, but I still like them.

Health Beat: New cast for broken bones
Almost seven million of us will be rushed to the emergency room for a broken bone at some point in our lives.
Broken bones usually result in casts, which are annoying to many. Now, there might be a new option.
You know the feeling, first the pain of breaking a bone, then weeks, or maybe even months, of having to deal with a cast that's probably clunky, itchy, stinky, and can't get wet. That, however, could soon be a thing of the past.
Dr. Eric Stuffmann, an orthopedic surgeon at Douglas J. Abeles MD and Associates, said he, himself, has broken bones not once, but twice.
"First time was roller skates, and I just slipped backward, landed under my wrist. Second time was monkey bars," said Stuffmann.
Stuffman is no exception, but he is part of a new solution, using the Exos brace, instead of a cast to help heal broken bones. The brace needs to be fitted and molded.
"I was coming down hill and took an edge wrong and landed backwards on the backside of my hand," said Manali Shah, who broke her wrist snowboarding.
From the downhill to the doctor's office, Shah is one of the first to get the custom cast. It's made out of three layers of high-tech polymers and foam that create a lightweight, adjustable, extremely strong brace.
Unlike traditional plaster and fiberglass casts, this one can be removed daily and is waterproof.
Shah had a traditional cast first, then changed to the Exos.
"It was great, because I could finally take it off to get a shower. I didn't have to put a bag over my hand; and it just breathes really well," said Shah, who is now looking forward to tackling the mountain once again. Her goal is to make it down a blue without falling.
Stuffman said he uses the new cast for most breaks. The only time he doesn't use it is when he thinks the patient will not keep it on long enough during the day.
The new casts are being used more and more across the country. They cost the same as traditional casts, and insurance will most often cover the cost.

Saturday was soggy and soupy, not ideal weather for the 19th annual Reindeer Run, a family friendly, costumes-encouraged 5K race; however, a little precipitation was no match for Charleston's hardiest running revelers. Much to my surprise, scores of participants had crowded the block surrounding Southend Brewery (Queen and East Bay Streets) a full 30 minutes prior to the race's 9 a.m. start time. Although the fuzzy antlers were waterlogged, spirits were high. Racers even withstood a delay of race that coincided with a sudden downpour—no grinches on this morning! Of the funds raised by this year's Reindeer Run, 80% will benefit the MUSC Children's Hospital, while the remaining 20% will be donated to the Charitable Society of Charleston's endowment.

Futures for both the Standard & Poor's 500 index and Dow Jones Industrial Average are up about 0.2% ahead of Tuesday's open, unchanged after durable-goods orders showed a 5.7% rise in February, largely on the back of a near doubling of aircraft demand. Orders fell 0.5% excluding transportation, while orders for core capital goods fell 2.7%. New homes sales data will be released at 10 am Eastern, while the Case-Shiller home price index will be released at 9 am.
Shares of retailer Children's Place (PLCE) fell more than 5% despite improved sales in its latest quarter. Investors were likely spooked by a gloomy outlook:
However, the company also warned it expects unfavorable weather and weak macro-economic environment to affect consumer spending. As a result, Children's Place estimated adjusted earnings at 60 cents to 65 cents a share for the current quarter and between $2.90 and $3.10 a share for fiscal 2013. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expect $1.20 and $3.54, respectively.
Higher product costs have hampered Children's Place's profit and margins over the past year. The company has said it will focus on e-commerce growth, better fashion, improved merchandise assortment in Canada and inventory management to help drive sales. It has also taken a range of actions, such as streamlining its field workforce and closing its Northeast distribution center in Dayton, N.J., to reduce its operating expenses.
In other corporate news, Boeing (BA) has begun test flights for its 787 Dreamliner plane in the hope that it will be able to soon return to service:
The company flew what it dubbed a "functional check flight" on a production model 787 Dreamliner, painted in the colors of LOT Polish Airlines SA. Monday's flight at the company's Everett, Wash., factory was designed to check the systems of the jet, which hasn't flown since taking to the air for the first time on Jan. 13. The entire 787 fleet was ordered grounded by the regulators around the world on Jan. 16 after the lithium-ion batteries burned on two Japanese 787s earlier that month.
Following Monday's roughly two-hour flight, with six crew aboard, Boeing was to evaluate the performance of the aircraft's systems and move to perform ground tests for certification.
Boeing shares are up 0.5% premarket on very light volume.
Also rising are shares of Peabody Energy (BTU), up more than 2% after analysts at Raymond James upgraded the stock to Outperform largely, it seems, on valuation:
Peabody has taken it on the chin recently, underperforming its peers, the index and the broader market as a whole. Additionally, the company no longer receives the premium multiple it historically enjoyed and simply trades in line with the group on 2014 estimates. Given an apparent metallurgical market bottom, improving prospects for natural gas (and thus coal) and since 1Q13 should be the weakest quarter from an earnings perspective, we view this as an attractive entry point into a high quality, core coal holding. As such, we are taking the opportunity to upgrade shares to an Outperform with a $25 price target.

|The Quintessential Trout Trout angling is the core of flyfishing worldwide.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:John Gierach
Good point Brad - we really suck at playing God! That idea made no sense to me, nature already worked these things out over millions of years.
RE:John Gierach
I recently read that the release of fish with whirling disease by the state hatcheries was done as a step to introduce more genetic diversity into the wild trout stocks. The fish that were released did have the disease but seemed to tolerate WD well. As an example they cited the fact that the more diverse california rainbows are not affected by WD as hard as their eastern cousins. I cannot help but think of the cane toads that were introduced to australia to help control the cane beetle. The idea seemed good except the only problem was that the beetle lives in the top of the cane where the toads cannot reach them and the toads, which have no natural predators, have overrun many areas.
RE:John Gierach
Yes, Gierach is a whimsical philosopher in his own right. There is a lesson we could all learn from the Lyons incident he cites.
Yet meaning no disrespect to John, I can't help but get a bit defensive when it comes to the welfare of rare indigenous species and stocked fish... I lose sleep at night if I get thinking about WD and native steelhead, cutthroat, etc. Sure, a holdover population might recover from a fresh stocking even if deadly parasites are involved, but a fish who swims a 7,000 mile circuit from a mountain spring creek to the Bering Sea and back can't afford another deadly force working against it. (end of obligatory serious note)
"Flyfishing is like golf but you can eat the balls" - JG.
RE:John Gierach
In <i>Standing in a River Waving a Stick</i> Gierach describes a recent season when the Colorado state hatchery guys released a whole slew of fish close to his home in Lyons that were infected with Whirling disease -- proof enough that bureaucratic incompetence can overcome even the best practices on the part of anglers.
But Gierach found the silver lining: while the rainbow fishing sucked that year, the brown trout fishing was better than it had been in decades. Crowds were down because not every pool held stockers and the browns started behaving more like wild fish. He describes it as fishing "the way it used to be." He went on to describe how the rainbows eventually recovered and things returned to normal.
Gierach takes the philosophical stance that the world is essentially made of $hit and that horrible things are bound to happen on a daily basis, and the best good people can hope for is to be pleasantly surprised by an exception to this rule.
I can't agree with this enough! Sometimes you gotta stop and smell the brown trout
RE:John Gierach
Brad - Glad to hear Colorado is treating you well. Please be kind to us in the frozen regions of the world by posting early and often about your Eleven Mile adventures. Be extra nice by sending pictures!
Say, how is the Whirling Disease situation now?
RE:John Gierach
Juro, things are going really well out here. I decided to go fishing after all on saturday since it was in the high 40's and we were expecting a storm sunday, that we got. I hit the St. Vrain at some nice pools about 10 minutes from my house. The water was open but i did not see any fish. I scouted around a bit and will try again this spring. I think it is time to stick to the tailwaters. I started tying some of the small stuff that people prefer in cheesman. I have not tried to tie a 26 for maybe 10 years and it was tough. All the crap that i used to give an older friend of mine about not being able to see has come back to haunt me. I bought a ski pass at copper, 4 days for 49$, not a bad deal, i plan to hold off fishing for a time since i heard that the skiing is pretty good here. cheers
RE:John Gierach
Wow! I'm a big fan of John's writing. I think he is a stunning writer fishing or not. Did he say he has done some striper fishing in the east? I keep waiting for the John Gierach of the east coast striper scene to emerge. I was actually hoping to get a glimpse of that sort of talent in our own writers guild here. Our scene is sitting there wide open waiting for a good writer to come along. If you haven't read John, run to your local library and get started. Tis the season.
RE:John Gierach
So Brad - how the heck are you? How are things out there... tell it all, buddy!
John Gierach
I met John Gierach at the St Vrain this morning. I want to say that it was fishing on the river but that would not be the truth. He was at a signing of his latest book, Good Flies, at the St Vrain Angler in Longmont. We spoke breifly about fishing, when i told him that I was from MA his eyes lit up and we talked about striper fishing. "It is different from fishing around here but variety is what keeps us going" he said.

Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Shares of Oracle (ORCL) are higher by 12 cents, or 0.3%, at $40.94, after the company said this morning it would spend $5.3 billion in cash to purchase Micros Systems (MCRS) for $68 per share, a 3% premium to Micros's $65.77 close on Friday. Mind you, Micros had run up on a week of speculation about such a deal.
Net of cash on Micros's balance sheet, the deal costs Oracle $4.6 billion. Micros makes point-of-sale terminals such as those you might see in a restaurant being used by servers to ring up orders. Mark Hurd, Oracle co-president, said that "We anticipate delivering compelling advantages to companies within the Hospitality and Retail industries with the acquisition of MICROS."
An Apple baseband?
Shares of Broadcom (BRCM) are down 6 cents at $38.22, as Cowen & Co.'s Timothy Arcuri this morning ponders whether Apple (AAPL) could be a buyer of the baseband wireless chip business Broadcom has put on the block. "We see some evidence to suggest AAPL could be a potential buyer of the assets and engineers," he writes.
In the same breath, Arcuri asks whether Apple might switch to using Intel's (INTC) baseband processors for an "iPhone 7," given that the baseband unit of infineon Technologies AG (IFXA), which Intel purchased in August of 2010 for its own baseband effort, was the original supplier of baseband for the very first iPhone.
"Our work there continues to suggest some evidence AAPL has re-embraced INTC in a bigger way for discussions around iPhone 7 (2015) but we continue to feel this is ultimately more of a ploy to obtain pricing concessions from Qualcomm (QCOM) and AAPL is ultimately unlikely to choose INTC for iPhone 7," writes Arcuri.
"Regardless, we believe this certainly lends credibility to INTC's LTE baseband efforts."
Lauding Intel
It's something of a banner day for research on Intel. Pacific Crest's Michael McConnell reiterates an Outperform rating on the stock, while writing that the rest of the PC chip landscape is not so rosy. He cut his rating on Nvidia (NVDA) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) to Underperform.
McConnell writes that "While improving corporate PC demand trends have buoyed PC supply chain metrics in Q2 […] we note that this demand trend only benefits Intel (25% to 30% sales exposure to corporate PCs, ~40% sales exposure including traditional server enterprise customers), with AMD and NVIDIA each having less than ~5% sales exposure to the corporate PC market."
On a less sanguine note, Canaccord Genuity's Matthew Ramsay writes that two things keep him at hold on the stock: competition in the server chip market from the likes of Applied Micro Circuits (AMCC) and Cavium (CAVM), which "could render 15% long-term [data center group] DCG growth targets too aggressive," and a return to "mid-single digit secular PC declines."
In praise of sensor, hub makers
Speaking of chips, McConnell's colleague, John Vinh, reiterates Outperform ratings on sensor maker InvenSense (INVN) and sensor-hub chip maker NXP Semiconductor (NXPI), writing that "Following our Asia trip, we are more confident that the iPhone 6 will support NFC, the larger-screen iPhone 6 (5.5") will support OIS (optical image stabilization) and Renesas SP drivers are expected to maintain their primary incumbent position in the upcoming iPhone 6," all of which causes him to raise his estimates for both chip makers.
Brighter 'Berry
Shares of BlackBerry (BBRY) are up 20 cents, or 2%, at $10.01, after Evercore Partners's Mark McKechnie yesterday raised his rating on the shares to Equal Weight from Underweight, and raised his price target to $10 from $6, writing that he sees " meaningful progress in John Chen's turnaround plan," including "stabilizing cash burn (opex & HS outsourcing) and a good plan to hold onto the core subscriber base (EZ Access, BES12 in November)."
Nokia's nicer prospects
Also on the upgrade path today, Raymond James's Simon Leopold raised his rating on shares of Nokia (NOK) to Market Perform from Underperform, writing that "The sale of the Devices & Services business to Microsoft strengthens the balance sheet, lifts margins, and positions the company for top-line growth."
"As we consider the longer term, we see Nokia on a promising trajectory from diversification into higher growing areas but with the wireless market maturing and the next cycle involving small cells not having significant impact, we view the shares as fairly valued and we would stay on the sidelines."

Well I might be starting to get publicly active again. Yoiu may or may not be aware that ICANN/GNSO is looking at some new constituancy formations so I am pushing for an all inclusive general public one. Global Reach Internet Participation (GRIP). At the moment just a facebook group page to see what level of interest there is. I thourouly recomend *everyone*, yes even *YOU* go join express interest and be active.Get a GRIP
On a more personal note Uni is going remarkably well with commendations for both semesters so far, I am not sure why I am doing so well as I am sure I fluffed exams. I am not going to argue :)
Other projects progressing, although a little slowly.

About Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, & Intersex Communities & Human Biotechnology
New genetic and reproductive technologies affect LGBTQI communities in exceptional ways.
Some of these are beneficial. For example, advances in assisted reproductive technologies enable a growing number of gay men and lesbians to become parents of biologically related children.
However, some advocates of reproductive cloning assert that gays and lesbians in particular should support it, because it would allow same-sex couples to have children that are genetically related only to a member of the couple, free of "external" DNA. Of course, such techniques do nothing to address the underlying issues of inequality and homophobia that plague society.
Genetic theories play as strong a role in shaping our social and individual identities as they do in shaping our families. Recent years have seen a resurgence of assumptions that complex human behaviors, including sexual orientation, are simply products of our genes. Though scientists have yet to find a genetic marker for homosexuality, many continue to try. Such genetic determinism and reductionism open the door to new forms of discrimination.

Being part of the Masters in Reading program at Rhode Island College has set me apart in my school district where I now work as a Reading Coach and Reading Specialist. What a great learning experience. The program made possible professional growth outside of my district and I can now provide research, data, and historical context about reading instruction to my colleagues. It also encouraged "different" thinking. I appreciate that the Master's program prompted me to learn and think about reading in a more comprehensive way.
I attribute most of my success to my longstanding motivation to change public education. Family members and friends ask me why I do what I do and, most importantly, why I do it in my school district. Very good question! The answer is easy. I am a product of the Providence School Department. I was one of "those inner city students." As a student, I had amazing teachers and I want to do the same for my students. Rhode Island College has been a part of my educational path. The knowledge base that I developed at RIC cannot be taken away and will benefit my students. My current position in the public schools allows me to spread that knowledge and inspire others to do the same. My experiences in the M.Ed. program and my position as a reading coach and specialist has led to some needed change thus far and I will continue to move forward with the change needed to TRULY do what is best for kids.

Today tomorrow marks the end of my last term at ECPI as an Associates of Arts degree student! I passed my Code Design and Debugging class and since that was my last class that means that I've qualified to receive my Associate in Arts in Computer Information Systems! This is a BIG deal to me since no one (nope – not even me) thought it would ever happen. Last time I was in college it was around 8-9 years ago and I got so burned out that I dropped out with 2 math classes remaining. Not smart – but it was what was needed to be done at the time.
Monday I begin a new term and a new class – 2d Graphics (better known as Illustrator) which I am SO VERY EXCITED to learn! I can finally put my graphics tablet to good use!
So – if I owe you some work be patient. Finals week is always a little hellish – but now that it's done (for now) I can actually get some work done!
Goodbye Programming Class! I will see you again in a few terms!

Term: solitary
Solitary Witch: In modern Neo-Paganism, a person who practices Witchcraft by himself or herself as opposed to being part of a group (traditionally called a Coven). The Solitary Witch, also known as a Solitary, practices this way out of choice, out of the necessity of keeping their practices private, or having no other Witches in the area with which to practice. A Solitary Witch may have learned his or her practices with the help of a Coven, but more often learns from books, websites, etc. The most popular resources for Solitary Witches include Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner by Scott Cunningham, and Solitary Witch by Silver RavenWolf (both published by Llewellyn Publications).Donald Michael Kraig
Solitary Witch: Some Solitary Witches have begun to call themselves "Solitaires," which has added a new definition to that word as they are certainly not a gem in a setting by itself, a type of North American thrush, an extinct bird related to the dodo, or a card game played by oneself.
Alone. Also, a short version of Solitary Witch. See: Solitary Witch.

When we started our journey as Graco Ambassadors Joseph was a tiny 7 weeks old, 2 years later he's a walking, sort of talking little boy. Alas, it is now time to hang up the Graco hat 🙁 We've had lots of fun during our Graco journey and here are a few of the highlights.
We're saying goodbye in style though with a fabulous giveaway as Graco are giving Me and My Kiddywinks the chance to win a Graco Sweetpeace.
The Sweetpeace uses innovative, patented motion technology to simulate a mother's real soothing movements to help relax little ones. The motion moves little ones from side to side, as parents do, as opposed to just back and front making baby feel especially comforted. As well as featuring six speeds, the two speed vibrations tailor the movement to help with all moods over, from lively to sleepy.
Baby can be kept amused with an MP3 plug-in connection ready to play favourite songs, along with the pre-loaded high quality sounds, this unique audio experience promotes early learning, as well as a baby tray with mirror, teether and soft toy to help baby entertained.
The Sweetpeace is very flexible so can be used as a soother or standalone rocker. The stand can be used with Graco 0+ car seats (Logico S and Junior Baby) so parents can move baby easily without any hassle. It also features a handy timer to switch off the vibration and sounds so that's one less thing to worry about during this busy period. The Sweetpeace has a comfortable fabric in relaxing colours with a removable, translucent canopy.
This competition has now closed. Our winner was drawn by Random.org and is….
Rachel McArthur. An Email is on it's way Rachel. Congratulations!

I will admit that I believed that Z was guilty of poor judgment. So was Martin. Had Z been ruled guilty, I would have had to accept that the jury did the best they could with the evidence. I also believed that OJ was guilty, but the jury said he wasn't.
Holder is the one taking a side. He has no evidence of racial elements to this event, so he's opened up a hotline to see if he can find any. He seems bound and determined to make this a racial matter in any way he can.
Why is it so hard for us all to admit ... whatever our race, religion, ethnic origins ... there are lots of good people and there are some rotten apples in every group. Individuals in any group can be slimeballs ... or saints ... or anything in between.
When I hear Holder's inflammatory speeches, I begin to believe the conspiracy theorists who speculate if rioting in the streets can be fomented, that would give cause for martial law. If Obama does not restrain Holder, it can only be interpreted as tacit agreement with Holder. JMO.

The Recording Academy Texas Chapter played host for GRAMMYs On The Road At Austin City Limits Music Festival during the festival's 10th anniversary from Sept. 16–18 at Zilker Park in Austin, Texas. The Chapter conducted exclusive backstage interviews with artists performing at the festival, including Canadian pop/rock outfit Broken Social Scene and rapper Wax.
Broken Social Scene vocalists/guitarists Brendan Canning and Kevin Drew discussed formal musical training, career highlights, songwriting, and advice for aspiring artists.
"Practice and have something good to fall back on," said Canning on advice for aspiring artists. "Enjoy it," added Drew. "Don't abuse it, and go to sleep early…after you've got a few years of not sleeping at all."
Wax discussed the influence of YouTube, social media and other artists he's currently listening to.
"YouTube was big for me," said Wax. "I started [posting] videos on YouTube and eventually the views got bigger and bigger…and it just ballooned from there."
