Icahn Wins Again: Proxy Group ISS 'Open' to Board Bonuses
Just a few weeks back, activist investor Carl Icahn posed a good question. As he was quoted in the Financial Times:
Why is it all right for a company to give directors free access to planes and hundreds of thousands in board fees and all kinds of perks, yet if I find a Nobel prizewinner who is going to really help a company it is not all right for me as a holder of a lot of stock to give him a share in my profits?
The influential proxy-advisory firm Institutional Shareholder Services gave an answer this week. It's something like, Actually, we're open to this idea.
David Benoit of the Wall Street Journal has the goods on the partial victory ISS is handing to activist investors:
Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. left the door open to activist investors putting forward director nominees who could receive bonuses paid by the activist if they were elected and presided over a boost in the company's stock.
ISS said it would consider such situations on a case-by-case basis, but stopped short of saying it considered the idea good governance.
The move follows the rise of a new tactic: barring corporate board members from receiving payment from outsiders. The moves are made in hopes of deterring activists' board picks. Companies taking this route have included Halliburton (HAL), McGraw Hill Financial (MHFI), Marathon Oil (MPC) and Wynn Resorts (WYNN).
Checking in on Icahn Enterprises (IEP) Friday, shares lost 2.6% Friday and are down by 0.4% in the new year.

Very frustrating year so far. Finished pretty strong last year but it didn't carry over. Got tired of running quals so moved up to run the am. Figured we could flame out there just as easy so why not try it. This past weekend first series was a monster triple. 440 yd long middle bird, 360 yd right hand bird, both retired . 100 or so yd flier right in our face shot into the test. Couldn't get him to look out at the long gun and he swung to the flier on the shot. So I cued him dead bird and he lined almost the whole way to the fall and he dug it out. Lots of good dogs handled or picked up . I was disappointed not getting called back but very proud of my dog for getting all those birds.he never would have, even two months ago. Half way home I was ready to get back out there and keep training.
We're getting better little by little and having lots of fun.
If success was easy to achieve in this game, it wouldn't mean nearly as much.

However, I am more concerned with the tax payer who has to work hard to support his family and has to pay 10% to 30% of his wages in income taxes than the guy making a couple million a year. Most just accept that they have to pay these taxes to pay for the waste in DC. As I posted several months back, we are long overdue for a major tax revolt!
We pay more than enough in useage taxes on everything form gasoline to cell phones to run a government that lived within The Constitution. Our Military expenditures to police the world is our biggest exense next to Medicare. If we returned to "defending the citizens" in stead of policing the world and we stopped the nanny state entitlemnt mentality we could all see a huge reduction in the money the governent steals from the working man.

I told M that we would have to send Jill to Alabama, "Why?" she said. "Has she been bad again?" "No", I replied, "but there is a poster on PP who does not like his dogs, and does not favor where his taxes go, (like many of us) and he has made an analogy between wealth re-distribution and the re-distribution of dogs."
"WTF, she said, That does not make sense."
We concluded our training session as I explained that posts on PP need not make sense as long as they expressed deep feelings.
You'll like Jill. JD

One cannot reason someone out of something they were not reasoned into. - Jonathan Swift
as far as what i say making sense i respond this way........we will all eventually come the the conclusion that government in our country is unacceptably oppressive to its citizens. some citizens have a higher threshold for oppression than others. some citizens are oppressed more than others. some citizens are constantly made to feel guilty because our society may have oppressed others in the past. whatever the reason, sooner or later we will all arrive at the same place.
imho the design is to legislatively steal from us at incremental rates that reduces the likelyhood we will be put in that revolutionary place at the same time! this is why so many of you are not yet ready to join my riding mower convoy to storm our nation's captial. i only have one follower currently and his 3.5 horse, 18 inch, walk behind murray will not keep up.

About 3 months ago, I realized that I was drinking about 6 or 7 cans of mt.dew a day (the fact that they are free in the office definitely wasn't helping matters). I came to the conclusion that this was really unhealthy, and that I should do something about it, so I cut caffeine cold turkey.
Needless to say, that was unpleasant. I had vicious headaches for about a week straight, but then, they eased off. About a month later, I kicked soda altogether (the only exception, a sprite at one of the hockey games). Water and gatorade have become staples for me, since I'm constantly thirsty (theres a 32oz water mug on my desk that gets filled once a day), but the random headaches that I was getting while I was on the caffeine have gone away, along with some of my moodiness. I've definitely been more focused without it, although, I haven't really been able to pull the sort of late nights that I did a few years ago. I don't really miss it, but I didn't drink coffee, so that helps, I guess.
I was promoted last week to an outside sales engineering position. I'll be based out of Chicago, and covering the midwest territory. This means a relocation to Chicago sometime in February. Most of the fine details won't be settled until tomorrow.
Work on the 8.* build is not going terribly well, mostly due to the fact that I can't get glibc greater than 3.2 to build/glibc 3.2 won't build for 64bit because I can't get gcc 3.2 to build, because it needs glibc built for 64bit. Do you see my problem? ;) I could just be braindamaged on this one, Jakub says it works for him, he was going to build it overnight.
Dave Miller is doing the NPTL work for sparc64, which should be a nice feature addition. I think I owe him a beer or twelve.
2.4 seems to be unhappy on the sun4 arch. If interested, see my post here. Yes, I suppose that does make me a masochist.

Family: Picidae, Woodpeckers view all from this family
Description Similar to Pileated Woodpecker but with a pale bill, striking white secondaries, and a white line on the side of the back. (Note: A digitally manipulated photograph of a Pileated Woodpecker is shown here to give an impression of what an Ivory-billed would look like.)
Dimensions Length: 19-21" (48.5-53.5 cm)
Endangered Status The Ivory-billed Woodpecker is classified as an endangered species throughout its range in the U.S. and Cuba, and for decades had been presumed by many experts to be extinct. The largest of North American woodpeckers, the Ivory-bill once ranged throughout the southeastern U.S. in old-growth forests. It was brought to the brink of extinction by the logging of the forests that made up its habitat, and by hunters, who sought it for food. There had not been a substantiated sighting of the bird in the United States from the mid-20th century until 2004.
Credible sightings in 1999 in Louisiana raised the hope of some that these magnificent birds still existed. During a search in early 2002 a recording was made of what could have been an Ivory-billed Woodpecker drumming, and some trees were found that showed encouraging signs of stripped bark and hole excavation. As yet, however, searchers have been unable to confirm the Louisiana sightings or find definitive evidence that Ivory-bills have been feeding in the region.
In 2004, however, reports began to come in of a male Ivory-bill in a deep forest swamp in Arkansas. Confirmation sightings and a video tape made it official in April 2005: The Ivory-billed Woodpecker still exists. Sightings have been made only of a male, who appears to be a healthy vigorous individual. The investigation continues, and scientists hope to determine whether there are other individuals, especially breeding pairs, or whether all the sightings have been of a single male, who is possibly the last of his kind. One thing is clear: the Ivory-billed Woodpecker, for all its size and magnificence, is remarkably good at keeping out of the way of humans.
Discussion Huge and iconic woodpecker that once lived in forests of southern U.S.; sadly, now almost certainly extinct thanks to habitat loss and degradation.

Development Cooperation and Finance
The ability of a country to reduce poverty and increase its development depends on a number of things: its physical geography, the policy choices it makes, and the resources, institutions and capacities it has access to. On top of these, money is also needed to enable a country to invest in infrastructure or programmes that support economic growth and development.
Countries can finance their development in several different ways. First and foremost are the domestic financial resources that countries already have - the taxes they collect on economic activity or government borrowing from the savings that people and companies make.
But for many developing countries, domestic resources are insufficient to meet the scale of investment necessary. So there is often a need to supplement them with financial resources that come from other countries. These can be private flows: foreign direct investment, capital flows and remittances. Or they can be public flows in the form of aid and debt relief. In 2005, many donor countries - from the European Union and G8 - committed to increasing the amount of money they give in aid by $50 billion by 2010. On the eve of that deadline, there is a danger that the financial and economic crisis will shift developed countries' resources away from aid, at a time when poor countries need additional support to boost their economies and help their people survive the global crisis.
UNDP advocates for donors to scale up aid and technical cooperation in developing countries, so as to make faster progress towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). UNDP is actively engaged in the debate on how to effectively scale up aid, for example through our work on the Gleneagles scenarios. We work with countries to mitigate some of the negative consequences that may be associated with scaling up, such as how large inflows of aid can make their exports less competitive. UNDP also helps developing country governments to access new sources of finance like carbon markets.
Of equal importance, aid also needs to work better. For example, aid is sometimes given in support of donor rather than recipient priorities, or can be tied to the purchase of goods and services from the donor. This means that aid is not necessarily directed to the things that matter for poor people, or simply that the goods and services procured from donors are more expensive than those that could be bought locally. This undermines the effectiveness of aid, as measured by its ability to reduce poverty. The money doesn't go as far.
Making aid more effective is a responsibility shared by donor and recipient countries. The focus of UNDP's work in this area is on support to recipient governments to improve the national aid management architecture, ensure national leadership of aid coordination, and support monitoring arrangements that include the private sector and civil society. In addition to new aid, countries can also finance their development when creditors cancel their unpayable and unsustainable debts. UNDP advocates for debt cancellation and sustainability that safeguards the financing required to meet the MDGs, and advises developing countries on how to achieve debt sustainability consistent with reaching the MDGs.

Midwest Gaming Classic 2013 (Image heavy)
January 24, 2013, 08:01:23 PM »
Anyone been to this trade show before? It takes place in Brookfield, WI.
I've have a real itching to play actual pinball machines after playing a lot of Pinball Arcade and Visual Pinball. But these days there's not too many places where you can play a wide variety of pinball machines that are well kept. So found this expo, which is a reasonable drive, and it sounded ideal to check out some tables I had only played virtually.
It sounds like a lot of the pinball/arcade games are set to free to play - which is great. But I know most (all?) games are from private collectors. What's the etiquette? Are you expected to donate if you play their machines? If so how much?
Anyone have any experience with this or similar shows?
Might help to link to the
Midwest Gaming Classic 2013
event if someone wants to take a peek.

I can't say that I've been to anything like that, but it does sound kinda awesome. I've heard that pinball tables are expensive to maintain, so there might be some etiquette there, but I don't know what it'd be. No tilts?

So I went to this this past weekend. Been really pining to play some pinball and this turned out to be the perfect way to to it. Had a fantastic time even though I had gone by my self and played a ton of games both pinball and all types of video games. It exceeded any expectations I had. Here's some picture heavy posts recapping the event.
I showed up on Friday. The show doesn't officially start until Saturday but they have a few tournaments and other events going on Friday. I did the Tom Taylor Tour and the Up to Par tournament. The Tom Taylor tour was off site. Basically this guy has over 300 pinball machines and electromagnetic games in his warehouse. You get there at 3pm and can play as much as you want till 8pm.
Most of the pinball tables were from 50-80's but he had quite a few from the 80's-90s too. Here's just one of the rooms with a few classic arcade games and a bunch of EM pinball machines.
Only 100 tickets to the event were allowed and 300 machines so plenty of machines were open.
It was just room after room full of pins and arcade games. This one had a bunch of modern style pinballs, including a Baby PacMan which is a cross between an video game and pinball machine. I played it a few times but sucked.
He also had the Hercules pinball machine. The worlds largest pinball machine (the ball is the size of a billiard ball). Unfortunately it was not up and running. But you can see the size of it here.
Here's another room. There's a ton more pins to the right of this image and you can see another room fill with pins in the distance. Along the side of the wall here you can see a bunch of these plastic hand-held pinball type games from the 50's just covering the wall.
I was there from 3 till around 7 when I had to call it quits as I had the Up to Par tourny at 9. So reluctantly left to get some food and downtime. Plan on going to this next year for sure. There were a bunch of games I didn't get to play. But I did get to play a few of the pins that are in Pinball Aracde including Gorgar, Firepower and Central Park.

So what is the Up to Par Tournament? Well I knew I would suck at any of the pinball tournaments as I haven't played pinball in forever beyond the virtual pinball, so I did the Up To Par Tournament. You're given a list of 15 video games and you choose 9 of those games from the list. Each video game is on a different system. Some going as far back as the 70's up to current systems (e.g. Vita). You basically play one game and try and score as high as you can. Your final score determines your stroke for that "hole". You add up the score at the end and the person with the lowest score wins.
Here's the 15 games you could choose from. I don't think anyone saw what games you would be playing until right before you got taken to the tournament.
I basically wanted to have fun so I tried to choose a bunch of games I hadn't played before:
Jungle Hunt (on an NES?)
Typing of the Dead (Dreamcast)
Pole Position 2 (Atari 7800?)
Galaga (unsure what system)
Gates of Thunder (TurboGraphix)
Raiden (Don't recall)
Geomety Wars 2 (xbox 360)
Duck Hunt (NES)
Zen Pinball 2 (Vita)
Was doing great on a few of the games, kicked ass in Pole Position 2. Was getting real tired at the end and tanked on the last two games. Including Zen Pinball 2 (Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back table) which I figured I would do last and do the best in. You had to score as many points as you could with a single ball and I lost it like 10 seconds in. Ugh!
But it was still great fun and my caddy that was with me was a great guy too and I think he appreciated that I played a few games others probably wouldn't have chosen. Here was my final score:
Didn't place at all with that score. Oh well. Was doing it for the fun of it.

The next day was the real start of the show. Those that pre-purchased tickets could get them the day before. I waited in line for about 10 minutes to get my tickets. Those that got their tickets the day of the show waited a bit longer.
There were a few things I wanted to see at the show and being able to play the Wizard of Oz table was one of them. This is a new pinball table that is still being worked on and has mainly only been out in the prototype stage. But when I went over there there were like 15 people in the line so I decided to try later. I had two days the line would go down.
But it didn't. I never saw the line less than 7 people and said screw it and never bothered to wait to try it out. A bit of reget there but also knew my game would last all of a minute when I got up there after waiting a long time.
As you can see it was quite packed there.
Games to play were all over the place but the main play area was the Arcade hall which had a bunch of pinball machines and arcade games packed in together in a single room - all free to play. After about 30 minutes they turned the lights off and then it really felt like an old arcade. They had some odd pinball machines there too including the Trilogy Brewing Company pinball game. Score 100,00 and put your beer mug under this tap and get some beer!
And no it wasn't working. Just there for the fun of it.
There was also a Miss World table that no one seemed to be playing.
And then found out why some people might be hesitant (NSFW). I played it a few times.
I'll post some more pics tomorrow from the event. There were a lot of neat things set up there including a bunch of old video and computer game systems. Plus about 10 iMac systems set up to play the original Quake via LAN. Talk about a lot of fun and time flying by.

Thanks for sharing, Crawley. I missed the Dallas Pinball festival this year due to a conflict with the boardgaming, but I plan of going back. Thanks for the excellent pictures and recap.

You really had to explore the hotel area to find everything. When I headed downstairs I was surprised by walking in to rooms with mini-arcades. Each room had the same deal, all free to play. So I played a bit of Kangaroo, a Donkey Kong clone, and a Japanese import Macross (e.g. Robotech) and a few other arcade games that I hadn't played in decades. It was hard not to play everything but I had to explore more!
So tucked away in another side room was one that had a bunch of video game consoles. Most were old ones, some I've never played before but they also several of these set up:
I gave it a whirl. One of the guys volunteering in the area came over and walked me through the initial mech power-up phase. You had to press a few buttons, flick a few switches, neat stuff. Then he gave me a few pointers on the controls and foot pedals and sent me on my way. I didn't know what the hell I was doing in the mission but got my mech out of the docking bay, blew up a bunch of stuff, pressed a few buttons on the controller to swap weapons, and managed to finish the mission. Overall a real neat experience.
I asked him if they were going to network the consoles together for multi-play and he said they tried that last year and it didn't work out. People were too confused by the controls which I can see.
Also in this room was an Intellivision with Burger Time on it. Never did get an Intellivision but my cousins had it and was always a bit jealous of that since the graphics were so much better than the 2600's. But man that controller SUCKS for platforming games like Burger Time.
Another room had a mix of classic video games and old computers that you could play games on. For computers I saw a few there I've never seen before including a Commodore Pet, an Apple ///, and a C64 with a dual-disk drive. They even had my old Apple //e there where someone was playing Oregon Trail.
They did a great job with this room as they had 80's music playing and even had some 70's/80's artifacts to set the atmosphere.
But they also had some modern stuff like 4-player Smash Bro's.

Now that you've played Steel Battalion, can you explain why ANYONE thought "These controls are complicated - let's remove them all and use motion controls!" was a good idea?
That looks like it'd be a lot of fun. There just isn't anything like that out here in Phoenix, sadly.

A few more interesting pictures here to close this out.
The Sunday event is considered "family day" so there were a number of kids around. Would be interesting to hear what they thought of some of the older arcade game consoles and older video games. I know in the console room a bunch flocked to the 360 that had God of War running on it. But with the Quake LAN there were quite a few younger kids playing. I suspect they were the damn spawn campers!
Someone had brought in a Fix it Felix, from the movie Wreck it Raph.
They put it in one of the hallways on Saturday and was being played pretty often. Neat stuff.
The highlight in the show for me was getting to play Cactus Canyon Continues. Cactus Canyon was the last Bally DMD pinball released before pushing out their two Pinball 2000 tables that were the very last (Star Wars: Ep 1 and Revenge from Mars). Before the Cactus Canyon team could finish the game they dismantled the team and released less than 1,000 units with its incomplete code. So the game came out a bit unpolished and missing a few modes. So a guy who owned the machine decided to add in a few of the missing modes, add some new modes, hire one of the original voice actors to record more lines, then took the machine to the show.
I've been playing the Pinball Arcade version of Cactus Canyon quite a bit, loving it in its incomplete form, so I was very interested in checking out Cactus Canyon Continued.
The table was tucked away in one of the corner hotel rooms so wasn't getting a lot of traffic. I was able to spent a bit of time playing it and talking to the project creator. He was nice enough to set up several of the new modes to trigger for me. It turned out to be my highlight from the show.
The vendor hall was downstair in another part of the hotel I didn't even manage to see the first day. I wish I had since there were even more games tucked away on the walk over there I would have loved spending more time playing. But by Sunday I was pretty pooped and ready to head back so just walked around the vendor hall which was crowded as hell but had a ton of video game related stuff to check out.
If you're looking to buy any old console games oor even some hard to find PC games, this is definetly the place to be. I have a feeling next year I'll pick up one of those Retcon 5 machines and then buy a bunch of cheap video games from the vendor hall at the show.
I was kinda surprised to see a number of sealed Atari 2600 games too. I probably haven't see this many Atari 2600 games since the 80's at KB Toys.
And if you ever need cables for anything. This looks to be the place to get them.
Another nice thing about the hall was that there were some playable games tucked here in there including a few rare ones. Like a Tapper machine that was a Budwiser Tapper instead of the typical RootBeer Tapper - could get that for $1,500. And a Joust 2. I really wanted to play that Joust 2 but right after some people finished playing the game died or the screen turned off or something so didn't get to play it but took this sad screenshot of it.
So that was the gist of what went on there. The venue was bursting at the seams with games and people. But I kinda liked it that way as there seemed to be always something new you would discover just walking around. People for the most part were pretty friendly. Only had a few people who kept playing one game after another without looking behind them to see if anyone was waiting to play too. And only a few incidents of bad BO.
There were a few cosplayers too. One young woman dressed up in this sexy Bowser outfit (from Mario). And there was a fat guy with tits and a wig. Although I'm not 100% sure that was cosplay.
I'll probably make this a yeary thing as it was just a lot of fun, inexpensive, and there was plenty of stuff I wanted to check out that I just didn't have time for. Including playing the WoZ table. I'm waiting in line next year.

X.A. Changes in the Use of University Space and Space Request Process
Unit directors have responsibility for managing space assigned to their department. If additional space is needed and cannot be accommodated within a unit's existing space allocation, a space request form must be submitted to the respective vice president, or to the respective dean, in the case of academic departments. The dean or vice president can reallocate space within their division to accommodate the request. (All changes in space function or occupants must be reported to Physical Facilities within 14 days of the change.)
The Space Management Council (SMC), which is comprised of the five vice presidents, the senior vice provost/chief financial officer, the director of athletics, and the associate vice president for facilities management, and a Faculty Senate representative, reserves the right to reallocate space, as needed, to align with University priorities. When the University relocates all or a portion of a unit into new space, the space vacated by the unit becomes part of the University's pool for reassignment.
The SMC reserves the right to allocate space for a specific time period. Such space is considered part of the University's pool of space, not the division's space allocation. If the unit occupying the space desires to extend the allocation, the space request process must be followed.
The vehicle for requesting space is the Space Request Form. Forms are available for two distinct space requests: Academic (instructional/research/organized research centers/administrative units reporting to the Provost) and Non-Academic (administrative). An analysis of all existing assigned space must also be provided by the requesting unit detailing room function, room occupant(s), occupant type (FT, PT, perm, temporary) and precise, daily utilization factors.
- Academic and Research Space Requests - The department chair/director or principal investigator completes a Space Request form (http://www.binghamton.edu/cbasm/documents/space-request-form.pdf), provides analysis of existing space use, obtains necessary signatures, and forwards to their dean or AVP, as appropriate. If space is available from within the dean's or AVP's space allocation, space assignments can be made at the discretion of the dean or AVP. If space is not available and the dean or AVP supports the request for space, the dean or AVP, or representative thereof, in conjunction with the director of the Office of Course Building and Academic Space Management, develops a space proposal that is forwarded by the dean or AVP to the Provost for consideration by the SMC.
- Non-Academic Space Requests – The director completes a Space Request form (http://www.binghamton.edu/cbasm/documents/space-request-form.pdf), provides analysis of existing space use, obtains the necessary signatures and forwards to their AVP as appropriate. The AVP shall review the request and if approved, forward the request to the Physical Facilities director of design. If the request is determined to be in accordance with University mission, Physical Facilities will confirm the analysis of space need and develop a recommendation which will be forwarded to the SMC for a decision.
SMC decisions will be relayed to the affected department by the appropriate VP or designee. Once space recommendations are approved, the director, dean or designee is responsible for submitting a service request for any work needed by Physical Facilities. Approval of space changes does not constitute an approval of funding for any work that must be accomplished. Funding must be obtained separately.
Space use changes within space currently assigned to a department may be made by the controlling department as needed, but must be reported to the director of design in Physical Facilities for the Campus Physical Space Inventory (PSI) to be updated.
X.B. University Properties and Services
X.B.1. General
University letterheads, forms, other stationery, stamps, mailing services, computer services, and duplicating services are charged to schools, departments, or programs. These services are not to be used for personal purposes or in connection with private, professional activities conducted for profit. Similarly, the services of clerical, stenographic, technical, and other personnel of the University may not be used for personal purposes during regular working hours. It is appropriate, however, with the permission of the dean or department chair, to use such stationery and services in connection with the work of professional societies and public service organizations. It is also permissible to use stenographic services for certain scholarly manuscripts (excluding dissertations) when stenographic help is available.
University facilities may not be used for private instruction.
Movable equipment may not be sold, loaned, or taken from the place where originally
assigned for use without the approval of the property control officer. No equipment
should be discarded, loaned, taken from the campus, or transferred to another division
or area without notification to and prior approval of the property control officer
by means of Property Removal Authorization Form A. (Also refer to Management Procedure
401, http://www.binghamton.edu/operations/policies/facilities-and-property/property-control-state-buildings.html). This form is available online at https://www.binghamton.edu/property-control/form-a.html.
X.B.2. Use of Facilities After Closing Hours
All unauthorized persons must leave University buildings at the time they are closed.
A University pass must be obtained from and signed by the faculty or staff member in charge of an office, classroom, or laboratory, and by the building administrator for authorization to be in these areas after they are locked. A person in a locked area must, upon the request of a police officer or security services assistant, show both written permission to be in the building and a valid University ID. Failure to do so will result in the person being escorted from the premises.
Forcible entry into any building or facility is prohibited. Propping open exterior or interior doors that allow access to a locked facility is also prohibited.
Failure to observe these rules may lead to University disciplinary action and/or arrest. (Also refer to Management Procedure 830, http://www.binghamton.edu/operations/policies/security-and-safety/building-security-academic-facilities.html).
X.B.3. Use of Facilities by Outside Groups
Conference and Event Services is a resource for event planning and facilities scheduling at Binghamton University. Outside organizations that are nonprofit and holding programs of an educational nature must make reservations through Conference & Event Services. A SUNY Revocable Permit and a Certificate of Insurance is required. To check availability, contact the University Union Office at 607-777-2804 or firstname.lastname@example.com. http://www.binghamton.edu/conference-and-event-services/

The Events Center, which is the premier multi-purpose facility of its kind in the state, and the West Gymnasium are home to Binghamton University's NCAA Division I athletic programs. Demand for use of these spaces is high, but when facility schedules permit, outside organizations may rent spaces within these buildings. To check availability, contact Ze Zeon at 607-777-9366. http://www.binghamton.edu/events-center/
X.B.4. Anderson Center
The Anderson Center for the Arts is a University office serving the campus arts departments and the broader communities of the University and the Southern Tier. The staff of the center schedules and operates the physical facilities of the Anderson Center, and, with the arts departments, presents arts programming for the University and the community. The role of the center ranges from assisting users by providing services such as house, technical, and box office services to full promotion and presentation of a concert program booked by the center.
The performance spaces of the University - the Osterhout Concert Theater, the Chamber Hall, and Watters Theater - are primarily intended for performances by artists contracted by the Anderson Center, for rental activities, and for the performance activities of the departments of music and theatre. Use by other departments, schools, organizations, and student groups, other than those specified above, is subject to availability and is scheduled at the discretion of the director of the center in consultation with the appropriate groups. Offices wishing to schedule use of performance spaces should contact the center as early as possible during the academic year preceding the scheduled event. Use of the Concert Theater and Chamber Hall for regularly scheduled classes is not permitted.
Appropriate fees will be assessed for use of the facilities according to a fee schedule available from the Anderson Center for the Arts office. Use of performance spaces implies the contracting of appropriate Center for the Arts staff (e.g., technical, box office, house operations), as well as any necessary additional staff as determined by the director. Those desiring further information about timetables, scheduling criteria, and fees should inquire at the Center for the Arts office.

X.F. Discriminatory and Gender-Based Language
It is the University's policy (as it is of the State of New York and of the State University) to use nondiscriminatory language and to eliminate unnecessary or irrelevant gender-based distinctions in official publications. The Office of Communications and Marketing will implement this policy in all publications it produces. All offices preparing publications and documents for direct reproduction or printing are expected to comply with this policy. Additionally, faculty and staff should ensure that any documents they produce as employees of this institution are free of discriminatory and gender-based language. Further information is available from the Office of the Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost and from the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
X.G. Use of Health Center
Faculty and staff members on duty may receive emergency treatment/first aid at the Decker Student Health Services Center. Faculty and staff are expected to consult their own physicians for medical advice and medication.
X.H. Use of Recreational Services
The Department of Campus Recreational Services offers a multifaceted program that is designed to encourage positive lifestyle choices and promote lifelong learning through both wellness and physical activity for Binghamton University students, faculty and staff. More information on program offerings, the registration process, and faculty and staff fees is available by calling 607-777-PLAY(7529) or online at http://play.binghamton.edu.
The newly renovated Recreation Center at the East Gym houses a 10,000 square foot fitness center, FitSpace, swimming pool, basketball, volleyball and badminton courts, three multipurpose rooms, a Wellness Suite, an Outdoor Pursuits rental center and locker rooms. Faculty and staff have access to check in to the Recreation Center on Mondays-Fridays until 12:30 p.m. for morning and lunchtime open recreation activities. All other access requires membership.
Open Recreation programming provides unstructured activities and drop-in hours for basketball, volleyball, badminton, swimming, disc golf, tennis, walking/jogging, racquetball and squash.

Outdoor Pursuits leads non-credit recreational trips and programs in a variety of activities including hiking, backpacking, bicycling, cross-country skiing, winter camping, tree climbing, snowshoeing, canoeing, and kayaking. Outdoor Pursuits also offers a new challenge course that provides groups and individuals with a high-impact opportunity to learn about risk-taking, leadership, personal perceived limits and performance under pressure, as well as to give and receive support from others.
X.I. Motor Vehicle Registration and Parking (Revised 6/2004)
Vehicles that are parked on campus must be registered with the Parking Services Office and must display a registration decal and/or parking permit. There is a nominal fee for the registration decal, which is not a parking fee. The decal must be displayed as directed. In addition to the registration fee, there is a parking fee for vehicles parked on campus, which is levied consistent with applicable bargaining agreements and in accordance with guidelines established by the Chancellor or designee.
Certain areas of parking are restricted; these areas are designed by signs. Parking on lawn areas is not permitted anywhere on campus. Requests for special parking arrangements should be addressed to the Parking Services Office. In addition to regular campus parking, two paid parking lots and numerous metered areas are available for use.
Tickets are issued and fines assessed for failure to register vehicles for campus parking, for parking in unauthorized places, and for other violations of Campus Motor Vehicle Regulations.
State law provides for deducting parking and traffic fines from the salaries of University employees. Chapter 148 of the Laws of 1972, adopted by the New York State Legislature, enacted Section 362 of the Education Law authorizing the Trustees of State University to promulgate parking regulations, including the assessment of fines for violations thereof. This legislation permits the deduction of such unpaid fines from the salary or wages of an employee of the University. Parking privileges may be revoked for non-payment of outstanding fines. Regulations (8NYCRR, Part 560) of the Trustees enable the College Council of each State-operated institution to develop parking regulations subject to Trustees' approval. The Council of Binghamton University has adopted parking regulations, including the assessment of fines for violation thereof and the deduction of such unpaid fines from the salary of the offending employee. These regulations have been approved by the Trustees of State University.
Additional details regarding the use of motor vehicles on campus are presented in a folder, "Motor Vehicle Regulations," available from the Parking Services Office. More information is available at https://www.binghamton.edu/services/transportation-and-parking/parking/.
X.J. Lost and Found Property
New York State University Police has primary responsibility for lost and found property, and has implemented a detailed procedure regarding it. The finder of lost property of $10 or more in value, and all cash, eyeglasses, wallets and purses, checkbooks, and items with an identifiable owner, is required to return the property to the owner or to report such findings and deposit such property in University Police (AD-G35). (Also refer to Management Procedure 816, http://www.binghamton.edu/operations/policies/security-and-safety/lost-and-found-property.html).
X.K. Non-Credit Instructional Activities and Administrative Requirements
Non-credit continuing education offerings of the University embrace a wide variety of programs, resources, and services. Offerings designated as non-credit instructional activities include any formally organized and scheduled course, workshop, seminar, conference, institute, short course, or personal development program involving instruction.
The registration of enrollees in non-credit instructional activities is required for reporting purposes. Student records must be maintained by the sponsoring unit.
Non-credit instructional programs may be co-sponsored by a community organization if a school, college, or administrative unit of the University also serves as a sponsor.
Lectures, artist series, theater productions, mass media programs, and other activities that normally do not involve active discussions or analysis on the part of the audience are generally reported as cultural and educational programs. The approval procedures applicable to non-credit instructional activities normally do not apply to these activities unless they are part of a formally organized non-credit instructional activity.
X.L. Educational Communications
The Educational Communications Center (http://www.binghamton.edu/ecc/) provides instructional support through the design, installation and maintenance of instructional technologies in the classrooms and across campus. Additionally, the center exists to provide loanable AV equipment like cameras, projectors, and laptops; the production and distribution of general instructional aids, appropriate training on devices, and basic instructional design for leveraging related equipment. The center also provides facilities, equipment and personnel in the creation and distribution of Distance Learning/Rich Media materials for online consumption.
X.M. Questionnaires and Surveys
Questionnaires and surveys concerning information and statistics about the University must be channeled through the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment (OIRA), which will ensure that the appropriate offices respond and will undertake review of the questionnaires as necessary. Since many of these questionnaires must be forwarded to the central staff in Albany for official submission by the State University, accuracy is essential. The purpose of this procedure is to avoid both inconsistencies in general University statistics and conflicting statements from different units within the total University. OIRA also provides assistance in designing and administering surveys to University students, faculty and staff for a variety of planning and assessment purposes.
OIRA produces official statistics about the university (student headcounts, majors, faculty, credit hours, retention/graduation rates, etc.) on its website, http://www.binghamton.edu/oira/. Official data are accessed by clicking the "BU Data (On-Campus Only)" menu selection. If you do not find the data you need, you can log a data request by clicking the "Data Request Form" menu option on OIRA's home page. OIRA also produces ad-hoc analyses and reports addressing a variety of issues related to University planning and effectiveness.
X.N. Visiting Speakershttp://www.binghamton.edu/human-resources/international/honoraria-payments.html
X.O. Guidelines for Sponsoring Campus Events
Requests for non-credit use of any University facility by a non-University organization or a University organization sponsoring a conference must be made to either the Conference and Event Services Office or appropriate endorsing department administrative office, e.g. sports camps to Athletics, onstage performing arts to Anderson Center, etc. All other requests (i.e. student groups) for non-credit use of University facilities must be made to the University Union Office.
Scheduling of Events
In order to insure appropriate scheduling of facilities and the observance of regulations concerning use and financial responsibility requirements, all requests for non-credit use of University facilities must be made in writing to the Conference and Event Services Office, endorsing department or the University Union Office based on the following schedule:
- Meetings, information tables, etc. - At least four (4) weeks prior, but no sooner than six (6) weeks prior to the event.

Priority of Scheduling
- Official University use of all facilities shall have first priority.
- Requests for use of facilities for official purposes by Binghamton University affiliated groups, SUNY Central administration and New York State government agencies will be given approval over other non-University organizations.
- Once a commitment for facility usage has been made to a non-University organization, the organization will not be cancelled or displaced other than as provided for in the paragraph on cancellation (see below).
Requests should be made on forms or in other approved correspondence provided by the Conference and Event Services Office, University Union Office or endorsing department and should contain all necessary information including but not limited to:
- name and function of the group;
- name of individual responsible for the event;
- purpose of the meeting;
- preferred meeting date;

Union Office for conformity with State University regulations and Binghamton University
policy, including the following conditions:
- Eligibility of the group;
- Consistency of the purposes of the event with the general objectives of the University;
- Filing and executing the necessary documents.
- Both the reserving organization and the purpose of the proposed event will be subject to approval by the Conference and Event Services Office or University Union Office as being compatible with these guidelines. When a clear determination of eligibility cannot be made by the Conference and Event Services Office, the request will be forwarded to the Campus Events Coordinating Committee for a final determination.
Reserving organizations and facility managers will be notified by the endorsing department of the determination of eligibility and available dates. Scheduling and detailed service request arrangements will be the responsibility of the endorsing department.
Binghamton University reserves the right to cancel any prior facility use authorization for extraordinary circumstances such as, but not limited to, those involving consideration of public health, welfare and safety. In addition, any individual or group of individuals who fail to comply with the University regulations, any special regulation which may apply to a particular facility or these guidelines may suffer cancellation of the facility use authorization and also may be denied any subsequent authorization. A fully executed revocable permit must be in effect prior to the event.
All information and promotional materials prepared by a reserving organization in conjunction with an event scheduled on the campus must state who the sponsoring group is and must not in any way imply sponsorship by Binghamton University unless specifically approved by the University. Prior approval of the material may be required by the University. Public advertisements for non-University organization activities shall be subject to approval by the conference coordinator as the University president's designee.
- Faculty or staff requests - The proposed use of space by faculty or staff for non-credit use will be subject to endorsement by the appropriate academic department chair, administrative office or other officially recognized University unit. The endorsing department is responsible for all damages, losses, or unrecovered expenses incurred during or as a result of the activity.
- Student or student group requests - The proposed use of space by students and student groups will be subject to endorsement by an organization recognized by the student government and must meet criteria established by the University Union Office and this policy.
- Non-university groups
- The proposed use of space by non-University groups will be subject to endorsement by the campus conference officer.
- Commitments regarding use of Binghamton University facilities may be made only by the Conference and Event Services Office and only after consideration of a formal application.
- Individuals with room or building responsibility responding to personal or telephone inquiries concerning the type of facilities and/or services available should not convey any impression that a commitment of facilities or services has been or will be made. The individual or organization should be referred to the Conference and Event Services Office to complete a formal application for use of facilities.
It shall be understood and agreed to by a requesting individual or organization that said individual or organization shall be solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws, rules, orders, regulations, codes, and requirements of federal, state and local governments. In addition, the individual or organization shall indemnify and hold harmless the State University of New York, the State of New York, and Binghamton University from and against any damage, fine, judgment, expense or charge suffered, imposed, assessed or incurred for any violation or occasion by any act, neglect, or omission of the organization, its servants, employees, or agents.
In the event of any damage or injury to the equipment or facilities provided by the University under these guidelines caused by the negligence or improper conduct of the individual or organization, its agents or employees, the individual or organization shall cause the said damage or injury to be repaired or remedied as speedily as possible at its own cost and expense. Notwithstanding the above, if any loss is the result of negligence on the part of the University, the individual or organization shall be released of its responsibility for replacement of lost or damaged equipment or facilities.
Financial Arrangements
- Billing - The endorsing department will be responsible for billing appropriate users for utilization of University facilities.
- Food service - All required food service will be provided by the Binghamton University Dining Services. The organization requesting food service shall be financially liable for the number of meals and food requested, and shall guarantee to have guests appear for food service promptly as scheduled. A guaranteed number of guests may be required for each meal. Additional costs incurred by the University Dining Service due to failure to meet these arrangements shall be paid by the reserving organization.
- Deposits - For non-University groups, a deposit will be required at the time the reservation is confirmed by the Conference and Event Services Office. Normally, conferences or events for which billing of $500 or more is anticipated must have a deposit equal to 5 percent of projected billings on file with the Conference and Event Services Office 60 days prior to the event. This deposit will be held intact by the Conference and Event Services Office until the conclusion of the event and assessment of charges. Should there be any damages not covered by appropriate insurance, if applicable, the cost of such damages will be deducted from this deposit, or billed to the group if damages exceed the 5 percent deposit. Should the event be cancelled, through no fault of the contracting party, the deposit will be refunded less any expenses incurred by the University. However, should the contracting party default on the scheduled event, then the deposit will be retained by the University. Any exceptions to this policy will be subject to approval by the Campus Events Coordinating Committee.
- Insurance - Non-University organizations must carry adequate insurance covering their interests as well as naming the State University of New York, New York State, and Binghamton University as an "additional named insured" for the dates University facilities are to be used, and with limits as determined by SUNY policy.
- Reporting Requirements - If admission is charged or donations are solicited by an organization for an event held at Binghamton University and proceeds are not received and disbursed by an authorized University fiscal and disbursing agent, a financial report showing gross income, itemized expenses, and proposed use of net income may be required by the Conference and Event Services Office.

X.P. Guidelines for Sponsoring Campus Events Requiring Extraordinary Security
From time to time campus organizations sponsor events that generate a great deal of controversy within the community. These situations often require special attention, not only from the sponsor, but from the University, since these programs may create an environment that may threaten the safety of those attending and/or involved.
A set of guidelines has been established for the handling of this type of event. A copy of these guidelines is available from Campus Activities, located in UUW 205. It is also available online at https://www.binghamton.edu/campus-activities/docs/ExtraOrdinarySecurity.pdf. A copy of these guidelines will be given to the sponsoring group well in advance of the event.

Although this film has been around since 1954, I don't recall ever seeing it as a child. No matter--I wouldn't have been nearly as amazed by it then as I am now.
Abraham Lincoln was born 201 years ago today. There's a great Lincoln Timeline at The History Place.
Ancestors on my father's side who were living during the Lincoln presidency included his grandparents and at least some of his great grandparents, but all were still living in Germany at that time.
On my mother's side, her paternal grandparents (Milton E. Kerr and Kate Pettis) were both born during the Civil War. Her paternal great-grandparents were all in their twenties, and all four of them still had at least one living parent. At least three of my mother's great-great-great grandparents were also still living when Lincoln took office. All lived in the United States.

Yo momma. That's right, I said "yo momma".
TRU in Henderson (Stephanie/Sunset) had OTC Falcons last weekend - the one in front on the shelf had a banged up box, not sure how many more they had.Originally Posted by Rogue II
Just a heads up!
Still no dusty, hidden gunships anywhere, tho.
Just picked up a Clone Evolution Set (last one), a Sith Evolution Set (1 left), and an all-tan helmet #54 at TRU on Maryland/Flamingo. Had dozens each of #54-56 (all the 54's were the all-tan version), lots of #48-50, and a couple of the new Millennium Falcons.
K-Mart on Trop/Pecos had 5 OTC Falcon's on clearance for $30, all were slightly beat up (some more than others) and werent with the rest of the toys, but in a seperate clearance aisle next to the toy section (look for the big yellow "clearance" banners.
AWESOME! Thanks, you truly are numero uno. I'm going to open it, so I'm not too concerned about the box condition.
In other news, Target @ Cheyenne & US 95 had Obi Wan's ship, the droid ship, and tons of the Nemoidian Warrior.
Henderson TRU on Sunset had 1 #54 (Tan & Green) and some other newer figures like Crispy Anakin. They now have even more Saga 4 packs of Han Solo and the Skiff Guards. It looks like that beat OTC Falcon was gone. I would have bought it a couple weeks ago, but was worried pieces would be missing.
Yo momma. That's right, I said "yo momma".
For the record, that is the K-Mart on Sahara and Pecos. I went to the K-Mart on Pecos & Sunset and the Wal-mart on Pecos & Tropicana before I figured out it was the Kmart on Sahara.
The Wal-mart on Pecos & Tropicana had a Stormtrooper Han, Vader and a Tatooine Luke of that 6-8 inch cartoon-like line. I don't know what they are called, but up until yesterday, all I saw anywhere were Episode 3 characters.
Yo momma. That's right, I said "yo momma".
Oh crap, sorry guys, went to so many stores yesterday they all started to run together in my head. I better double-check my posts next time.
Last night found a couple of Black Clone Pilots at KB at the Boulevard, lots of other clones too but no other repaints. Still looking for that darn Shocktrooper, last of the 56 (including major variants) I need (well that and the cream-faced Meena Tills, but since I never saw the regular one at stores, I kind of lost hope with this one)
Last edited by numerouno13; 09-02-2005 at 08:45 PM.
Yesterday picked up from Target on Maryland/Flamingo a Vader w/cup (only other cups were two Leias, no stormtroopers), no sign of the new TIE, anyone seen this? this is one thing I really want. KB at the Boulevard had tons of Clones (#6 white, #33 commander (green), #34 pilot (black), only one #41, and lots of #49 bacaras), Checked the K-mart on Sahara/Pecos for those new battle packs again and still had not restocked and had 4 of the OTC Falcons left.
Yesterday, My wife went by the K-Mart on Craig/Rancho and said she didn't see anything new. No signs of the TIE at the Target on Craig/Clayton, either. Not even a sticker on the shelf. They did have 4 Han Solo cups (still at full price).
Yo momma. That's right, I said "yo momma".
Wal-Mart on Trop/Pecos this morning had a couple each of the Jedi vs. Sith/Speratist Battle Packs, 2 Clone Evolution Sets, 1 Sith, lots of deluxe including several each of the Green and Red Clone 3-Packs, and the new Palpy/Yoda Force Battlers. Looks like I had gotten there as they restocked everything, although there were hardly any basic figures, so looks like a restock of the regular figures is imminent.

The problem is that most insurance companies will only cover you on designated roadways. Make sure you read the fine print. I do like this idea and am willing to throw a little cash in for the cause.

Roasted Turkey a la GOYA«
A Time-Honored TraditionRoasted turkey is a time-honored tradition at the holidays. Our GOYA« traditional turkey features Saz¾n GOYA« and GOYA« Adobo for a perfectly seasoned, crisp skin and moist, tender, roasted turkey meat. Once youÆve tasted it, you will know that alchemy has been achieved and that this traditional turkey will be the star of any meal.
Serves 10
Prep time: 1 hour
Total time: 4 hours plus refrigeration over night
For the turkey:
1 turkey (10 ¢ 12 lbs.)
GOYA« Adobo with Pepper, to taste
╝ cup GOYA« Lemon Juice
3 packets Saz¾n GOYA« with Coriander and Annatto
For the stuffing:
5 slices white bread, crust removed and cubed
Š cup milk
Į cup apple sauce
╝ cup butter
1 large yellow onion, roughly chopped (about 2 cups)
1 lb. ground beef
Į cup GOYA« White Cooking Wine
Į cup raisins
2 hard boiled eggs, roughly chopped
1 packet GOYA« Powdered Ham Bouillon
1 packet Saz¾n GOYA« with Coriander and Annatto
For the gravy:
2 packets GOYA« Powdered Chicken Bouillon, divided
╝ cup flour
╝ cup GOYA« White Cooking Wine
|For the turkey:
|Rinse turkey and using paper towels, pat dry. Transfer turkey to a tray; sprinkle with Adobo, inside and out. Pour lemon juice over turkey. Using your hands, rub seasoning on turkey; cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight.
|Heat oven to 375░F. Using paper towels, pat turkey dry; season outside with two packets Saz¾n and inside with third packet. Using your hands, rub seasoning on and in turkey; set aside until room temperature, about 30 min.
|For the stuffing:
|In bowl, combine bread, milk and apple sauce. Set aside until milk is absorbed, about 10 min. Meanwhile, heat butter in skillet over medium heat. Add onions; cook, stirring occasionally until soft, 7 min. Add beef; season with Adobo; cook until brown, stirring occasionally and breaking up clumps with spoon, about 7 min. Add wine and raisins; cook until wine is evaporated, about 5 min. Add bread mixture, eggs, ham bouillon and Saz¾n to pan; cook, stirring occasionally until heated through, 5 min. Set stuffing aside until cool.
|Transfer turkey to rack set inside roasting pan. Using a large spoon, fill turkey cavity with cool stuffing. Tie legs together with kitchen twine; tuck wings behind back. Mix chicken bouillon with 2 cups of water; pour inside pan. Cook turkey, basting every 30 min., until thermometer inserted into the thigh, without touching the bone, reads 165║F, 2 Į - 3 hrs. Transfer turkey to cutting board, cover with foil; let sit 15 min. before carving.
|For the gravy:
|Meanwhile, place roasting pan on stove over medium-high heat; bring drippings to a boil. Add the flour; cook, stirring constantly, until smooth, thick and golden brown, 1 min. Add wine to pan; stir to remove stuck bits. Bring wine to a boil. Mix remaining chicken bouillon with 3Į cups water. Pour bouillon mixture into pan; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Using a strainer, strain gravy into medium saucepan. Bring gravy to a boil; season with Adobo, if desired.
|To serve, transfer stuffing to a serving bowl. Carve the turkey and serve with gravy.
Cooking the stuffing inside the cavity of the turkey makes it extra flavorful, since it absorbs the flavor of the meat. However, using this method means taking extra precaution: The stuffing ¢ like the turkey ¢ must reach 165░F to be safe to eat. If the turkey has reached temperature but the stuffing has not, no problem ¢ simply scoop the filling into an oven-safe dish and bake until ready.

Simply the best Turkish Ocak Basi Restaurant in East London!
In Turkey ocakbasi restaurants are where people eat when they're out, as opposed to places to go out to eat at.
Mangal was established in 1990 and it is a typical ocakbasi, no menu, a refigerated display of raw kebabs, a steaming, sizzling ocak grill, a hot table laden with simmering stews and braises. Hot pide and sac breads accompany starters of lentil soup or garlicky cacik, and ezme is a winning dish of roasted aubergine mashed with olive oil , fresh tomato, green herbs and hot pepper.

Time Out Eating & Drinking Guide 2009
"With its legendary reputation for grills, Mangal doesn't bother with frills. It has started producing a takeaway menu, but diners are asked to choose from the long list of kebabs above the counter before taking their seats (this can occasionally mean queuing). The interior is long, dominated on one side by the counter and the ocakbaşı grill. Tiled walls feature traditional kilim mats preserved in frames of various dimensions. The functional tables have plain wooden tops and metal legs, like old school desks. More starters are now available, including lahmacun, houmous and cacik. That's all to the good, but it's the grills that have earned Mangal a hallowed status – and they're worthy of it. A long lamb beyti hung off the edges of our plate and came with chopped leaf salad and bread (both thick fresh pide and fine saç bread). Fresh herbs and spices could clearly be seen and tasted in the minced lamb after it had been sliced: excellent. The slow evolution of Mangal is commendable, but don't expect the chefs to stray too far from the grill. Nor should they."
View - London.co.uk 2010
Mangal is a superbly authentic Turkish restaurant, offering fresh food cooked on an open charcoal grill. With excellent food, value and service, Mangal has established a reputation for a splendid night of Turkish cuisine.

Late Bronze Age
Cambodia or Malaysia
Bell or gong
1st-3rd century
61.2 (h) x 34.6 (w) x 30.2 (d) cm
Gift of Dr David E Pfanner 2010
National Gallery of Australia, Canberra
The function of large bronze bells without clappers is yet to be discovered. Apparently designed to be struck from the outside, their scale suggests ritual rather than daily use. While this imposing instrument is reminiscent of Dong Son metalwork, archaeological evidence suggests it was made outside Vietnam, possibly in Cambodia or Malaysia where similar monumental bells have been found. The S-spirals enclosed within triangular saw teeth are early manifestations of a design still popular in Southeast Asian art.

Amazon (AMZN) was trading higher at recent check after announcing a limited preview of its new AppStream service starting today. The service, according to the release "enables developers to stream resource-intensive applications and games from the cloud to a broad range of devices."
Citrix Systems (CTXS) was dropping on the news, as AppStream appears to be a rival to its NetScaler offering. As Briefing.com notes, an un-dated blog on Amazon's Web Services site discusses that Citrix's NetScaler and CloudBridge were available on AWS (Amazon Web Services) Marketplace, while CTXS's filing indicates that "Our NetScaler products compete against other established competitors, including, F5 Networks (FFIV) or F5 and to a lesser extent, A10 Networks."
The news comes along with the introduction of Amazon WorkSpaces, a fully managed desktop computing service in the cloud.

Bisquick Heart Smart® recipe! Fishing for a twist on loaded burgers? Try salmon with all the trimmings!
The cook time for these patties may vary slightly depending on the heat source on your range. Keep an eye on them during cooking to make sure they cook evenly on the bottom.
Serve with clusters of grapes.
Cook the salmon patties up to 24 hours before serving; cover and refrigerate. To serve, heat on a cookie sheet at 400°F for 10 minutes.
Do you prefer Tuna Patties? Use two 6-ounce cans of tuna, drained, instead of the salmon.
