LONDON (ShareCast) - In The Times Tempus writes that the fall in the BG Group (LSE: BG.L - news) share price since last Wednesday's profits warning looks unjustified. The company was not saying that large chunks of its reserves were not actually in the ground, after all, simply that some would take longer than expected to reach production. Significantly, the market in the company's corporate bonds barely moved; any serious threat would have been reflected there. So it is another case of the market overreacting to any bad news. Analysts' target prices for BG are all over the place, ranging from £10 to £19, though only one has a "sell" note out. The shares, one of Tempus' tips for this year, will take a while to recover, but, at their present level, this looks like a long-term buying opportunity.
Tempus writes that the Finnish capital -Helsinki- is the main hub through which traffic from the huge Russian market reaches the West. This explains the decision by Telecity Group (Berlin: 3TH.BE - news) to spend €33m on acquiring a market-leading position, with the purchase this summer of two operators of data centres there. Unfortunately, the market reacted negatively to the deal, fearing that Telecity, which needs a steady rate of growth in capacity, was getting to the point where it was having to pay too much for this expansion, which would dilute earnings. The shares fell 8.5% to 835p yesterday. This looks overdone and it brings down next year's earnings multiple to about 23. The rest of the third-quarter trading statement suggests the company is still trading robustly, while the 15MW capacity added so far this year, to 83MW, is a record for the outfit. Telecity says it has sites with sufficient planning permission to get it to 135MW across Europe (Chicago Options: ^REURUSD - news) in three to five years. If this rate of growth can be achieved, the shares continue to look like a good long-term bet.
Questor in The Telegraph writes that Weir Group (Other OTC: WEIGF.PK - news) bears must have been smarting yesterday, as the shares were the biggest gainer on the FTSE 100 (FTSE Index: EO100.FGI - news) after its third-quarter update. Questor continues to like Weir and the markets in which it operates. All of its end-users are in sectors with good long term prospects. US gas prices are unlikely to stay this low, particularly as the country could start exporting gas at some point in the not too distant future. Questor remains in the bull camp. Weir is a market leader with its technology and innovation and the exploitation of shale gas is expected to spread to other areas of the world. Trading on a 2013 multiple of twelve times earnings and yielding 2.2%, the shares remain a buy.

Sprinkler systems are finely tuned machines that need to be handled with highly skilled and trained experts. Our Rowlett sprinkler repair techs are those experts. We've been trained to recognize and repair all of the major problems that can occur with systems in addition to being able to make minute adjustments that can have amazing effects on the efficiency of the entire irrigation system.
Having a great tech just a phone call away means that you never have to worry about problems in your sprinkler system. We are available when you need us and we guarantee you'll be satisfied with the results 100%.
Our repair team doesn't just do repairs. We are a full irrigationinstallation service as well. When you choose our expert team, our Rowlett sprinkler repair team will survey your land and section it off into zones. Each of these zones will have distinct watering needs. Our techs will then develop a preliminary plan based on the drainage of your yard so that the correct amount of water gets to each zone without wasting any water. This often involves multiple types of heads (rotary, spray, mist and even drip lines) put at unequal intervals. This is in stark contrast to the one-size-fits-all model that places spray heads every so many feet no matter what type of plants are there.
I didn't expect to be impressed by a sprinkler repair company. But I was mildly surprised when my next utility bill came and I had saved over $50 just from a small adjustment. ~ B. MeHoff ~
A++ service. Showed up on time. Extremely professional. I'd recommend them to anyone. ~ W. John ~
I've been trying to fix our drainage issues for half a year, and they got them fixed in half a day. I literally don't understand how they did it. ~ K. Sleight ~
Our system installers will also take into account the pressure of the water delivered to each individual spray head. This is very important when it comes to planting beds as a hard spray can knock off delicate flowers and destroy the entire reason for the planting bed in the first place.
Every head will be calibrated from direction, flow rate and pressure so that it achieves the maximum irrigation in the most efficient time. This type of system optimization does require a controller unit (something that is often quoted as an "add on" for the one-size-fits-all systems) that will allow you to set-it and forget-it. Once the program is put into the controller all you have to do is sit back and enjoy your lawn.
Our Rowlett sprinkler installation team does far more than residential and commercial installations, in fact a majority of our business comes from preventative maintenance and minor repair work. Our sprinkler repair techs are some of the best trained and most experienced in the area.
Call our Rowlett sprinkler installation techs to see how professional sprinkler service is supposed to work. We'll schedule you for a site evaluation and get you started on your way to a better landscape today.
Drip irrigation can be one of the easiest and most efficient ways of watering a collection of potted plants, non-native plants, or plants with unique watering needs. If you need help with your existing drip irrigation system, we can help you replace your lines, bubblers, nozzles, microsprayers, and controllers. If you're interested in installing a drip system, or just want to explore the possibility, we can walk you through your options and design a system that meets your needs.
call us today: 972-905-6938
Call us for your irrigation needs in Rowlett, TX 75030, 75088, and 75089 as well as Rockwall, Fate, Wylie, Murphy, Heath, Mobile city, Sunnyvale Garland, Richardson, and Mesquite.

How to Make Substitute Laundry or Dishwasher Detergent
Quick and easy substitutes for laundry or dishwasher detergent.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Understand that laundry detergent and dishwasher detergent are not the same thing. Laundry detergent foams and dishwasher detergent does not.
2Put just a few drops of regular dish soap and a nice handful of baking soda. The baking soda helps stop the foaming from the regular dish soap and helps clean your clothes.
3Use 1/2 cup of bleach instead of soap.
4Use a 50/50 mixture of borax and baking soda or borax and washing soda.
5Try using 1/2 tsp of non-sudsing ammonia and sprinkle baking soda on your dishes.
6For laundry, you can try using dish soap, liquid hand soap, or shampoo in a pinch.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Too much liquid dish soap can make a big mess - bubbles everywhere. A few drops in your dishwasher is more than enough.
- Bleach fumes can aggravate breathing problems like asthma.
- Some dishwasher manufacturers say that bleach will eat the seal on your dishwasher, making it leak.
- Bleach is corrosive and can damage some surfaces, particularly metal.
- Never mix bleach with anything. It can give off chlorine gas which can kill you.
- Sudsy ammonia can make a big mess - bubbles everywhere so check the label when you buy it and get the non-sudsing or non-foaming kind.
Things You'll Need
- Liquid Dish Soap
- Baking Soda
- Washing Soda
- Shampoo
- Liquid Hand Soap
- Bleach
- Non-sudsing Ammonia (look at the label carefully)

RNAi Is Working on Tactics to...
It Remains Extremely Challenging to Identify...
The World Vaccines Market Is Predicted...
Researchers Are Developing Ways to Edit...
Roche is paying PTC Therapeutics $12 million up front as part of an agreement to develop small molecule CNS disease drugs. PTC separately announced that Celgene exercised its option to collaborate with the company on the development of GEMS-based candidates against an oncology target. The original agreement was inked in 2007, and Celgene made a $20 million investment in the company.
Under the terms of the collaboration and licensing deal with Roche, PTC will use its GEMS (gene expression modulation by small molecule) technology, and Roche will cover research costs. The aim initially is to develop orally bioavailable candidates against four, jointly selected CNS disease targets. PTC says that it could earn up to $239 million in research, development, regulatory, and commercialization milestones per target plus double-digit sales royalties. Roche also has an option to add four additional targets to the collaboration across different therapeutic areas.
PTC's GEMS technology is designed to identify small molecules that modulate post-transcriptional control mechanisms. The company says that candidates target processes that act through untranslated regions of mRNA. Lead in-house candidate include the small-molecule VEGF inhibitor, PTC299, and ataluren (PTC124), which is in development for the treatment of nonsense mutation genetic disorders.
Ataluren is currently undergoing a pivotal clinical trial in patients with nonsense mutation Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy. PTC said it also aims to start a second pivotal trial of ataluren in patients with nonsense mutation cystic fibrosis during 2009. The company has an exclusive collaboration with Genzyme (www .genzyme.com) for the development and commercialization of ataluren outside North America.
The FDA and the European Commission previously granted the drug orphan drug status for the treatment of DMD and cystic fibrosis due to nonsense mutations. The FDA has also granted ataluren subpart E designation for expedited development, evaluation, and marketing.
In July, PTC started a Phase II trial assessing PTC299 in adult patients with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2). The drug is also undergoing a Phase 1b study in advanced solid tumors and a Phase Ib/II trial in metastatic breast cancer.

The Department of Immigration and Citizenship has announced a raft of changes to enhance the competitiveness of Australia's declining international education sector. The changes are in response to the report, Strategic Review of the Student Visa Program 2011, by the Hon Michael Knight AO which was released on 22 September 2011.
Among the reforms that the Department is adopting are new streamlined visa processing arrangements for a range of Australian university courses and a fundamental review of the Assessment Level risk framework, which often required prospective applicants to provide substantial sums of financial evidence.
The most significant part of the announcement is the introduction of a University Sector – Post Study Work Visa. This will be a new visa subclass which will allow University Graduates to stay on in Australia and seek work with Australian businesses. The proposed features of this visa are as follows:
The post-study work visa is proposed to be available from 2013.
It is expected that this range of measures will reenergise Australia's international education sector. In recent times international enrolment numbers have been falling as a result of tougher general skilled migration requirements and increased competition from Canada and the UK. The proposed measures compare favourably with current student visa programs in both of these countries.
In particular, the introduction of a post-study work visa is a welcome announcement and will provide University Graduates with additional options when seeking employment with Australian businesses.
Contact Hamilton Watts if you have any questions regarding these changes.

Intel honors three Kennedy seniors
(Page 3 of 5)
That was the surprising finding of a science research project conducted over the past year and a half by Jellinek, 17, of Bellmore. Jellinek questioned 104 local girls, ages 6 to 8, about their food preferences after they played with one of two dolls — Barbie or Tracy Turnblad, the "full-figured" leading character in the movie musical "Hairspray."
It turns out that playing with Barbie made the girls more inclined to choose healthy foods over salt- or sugar-laden snacks, while playing with Tracy made them more likely to reach for junk food, according to Jellinek's research paper, "The Effect of Barbie Dolls and Their Wardrobes on Body Dissatisfaction and the Risks of Future Eating Disorders."
Based on the children's answers to her questionnaire, Jellinek surmised that the Barbie doll lowered their sense of "body esteem" — that is, how comfortable they feel in their own skin. In turn, they ate healthier foods to keep their weight down.
Last summer Jellinek wasn't entirely happy with the results of her study. She thought the children's familiarity with Barbie and Tracy Turnblad might skew her study. So she sought out dolls that the children would have never seen before, and she found the Star Doll in place of Barbie and a Mimi Bobeck doll instead of Tracy Turnblad, and repeated the study, interviewing more than 100 girls for a second time.

Response to announcement that HMRC is to get new powers to access bank accounts when tax is owed
Emma Carr, deputy director of Big Brother Watch, said: "Today the taxman has to go to court to size your money. Now he'll be able to do it with a click of a mouse. People won't object to HRMC having legal powers to pursue people who owe them money but they shouldn't be able to do it without any independent oversight.
"At a time when the Government is looking to reign in the number of public officials who can enter your home without a warrant it is bizarre that the taxman is getting the power to raid your bank account. These powers could have a serious impact on people's lives and as a basic step of protecting peoples liberties they should not be exercised without a court's approval."

Seize, HMRC, rein, people's.
But the sentiment is spot on. Onward to East Germany we go.
William Hepburn8th May 2014
Over the years I've had numerous wrongly calculated tax codes, wrongly calculated refund teasers and demands with menaces for non-existent overdue payments, all of which have generally occurred during some 16 years I've been employed and within the PAYE catchment. The thought of faceless minions having access to peoples bank accounts with little or no control fills me with dread. I'd rather risk keeping my savings under the mattress than have them easily accessible to HMRC to take them whenever my number came up on what appears to be the lottery game of tax demands.
I think we should all resist this with the utmost effort, once again the corporate and industrial scale organised tax evaders and outright criminals will have their money squirreled away in accounts either not known to HMRC or inaccessible to them, whilst those of us that are basically honest and hardworking are prey to the Demon Tax Man's whims and demands.

Sacred Birth Place (Oakland, CA)
I'm interested in hearing any experiences you've had with Sacred Birth Place, or if there's some other nearby birth center I've missed (I know about Sage Femme, but don't feel it's the right place for me). I see older reviews on yelp and even on here, but I'm looking for more current experiences; particularly as their website seems to be under construction. Thanks! L
I'm also convinced that Selena saved me from having a c- section, had I been in a hospital. Because of a previous surgery on my cervix which left some scar tissue, I never fully dilated to 10cm. I reached 9cm and was unable to resist the urge to push any longer. Selena told me to listen to my body, and helped my husband catch my daughter. I didn't have any tearing or need any type of interventions to help me push.
The only part of my experience with SBC that I wasn't completely happy with was how soon I was allowed to go home. My daughter was born at 8:30am and we brought her home at 4pm. I didn't feel ready to be home alone with her and her latch-on wasn't fully established. When I later mentioned this to Selena, she said that I stayed longer than most women after birth, but she apologized for not catching the problems we had nursing. She was able to help my daughter and I learn to nurse without much trouble when she came to my home the next morning. Happy SBC mom
~At the initial prenatal appointment, one of my midwives (I was assigned two) took TWO AND A HALF HOURS to get to know me and my husband, our relevant medical histories and answer all our questions.
~The midwives are extremely knowledgeable, nurturing and non-judgmental. They supported me completely in my wish to have a natural, medication-free birth.
~In the earlier weeks, I had a prenatal appointment every two weeks (later on it's every week). We had the option of attending group prenatal classes before each appointment.
~The birth center is located in a cozy and clean house. The main birth suite is warm and inviting and has many tools to assist in labor, including a beautiful labor and birthing tub, a sling from which to hang, various birthing stools, a comfy bed and exercise ball.
~After my baby was born, my midwife came to my house on days 2, 4, 6 and 8 to check on me and my baby and answer questions (SO helpful during the recovery phase). I also went to the birth center at weeks 2 and 4 for the rest of my post-natal appointments. There may have been more, but I can't remember!
~I was also also assigned a doula, who gave pre and post-natal support and support during my labor and birth.
I encourage you to take a tour of the center and come prepared with your list of questions for the midwives. Please feel free to contact me; I have a lot more to say about my experience! Anne
I am new to the area and am hoping to have my birth in a Birthing Center in the East Bay. The only one I am finding in my research is the Sacred Birth Place. Has anyone given birth there? Feedback? Or other good options for the next best thing to a home birth? Lara
hey all, there's so much info on various homebirth options and midwives in the BPN archives... but barely a word on the Sacred Birth Center in Oakland. anyone had any experiences, good, bad or neutral, with the facilities and the midwives there? thank you for the help. claire
I am new to the Bay area and am having a hard time finding a birthing center near a local hospital. I am interested in a natural birth with a midwife, ideally in water. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you
Selena Green is the head midwife/co-owner. i'm due at the end of february and she is my midwife. though we're having a homebirth, we liked having the option of birth center and proximity to hospital. All of our prenatals & childbirth preparation classes are at the birth center which has a great comfortable environment. The birth suite has a jacuzzi tub, outdoor seating, cozy electric fireplace and queen-sized bed. SBP has on-site prenatal massage & reiki. Selena herself is wonderful! have a blessed birth! lpn

The Kennesaw State University Department of Theatre and Performance Studies presents "Run Away With Me: Kerrigan & Lowdermilk in Concert" September 21-22 at 8 pm in the Stillwell Theater. The performances are coordinated by Associate Professor Dean Adams and are the third production of the department's 2012-2013 season.
The musical theatre duo of Kait Kerrigan (lyrics) and Brian Lowdermilk (music) have received wide acclaim for their original musicals and adaptations since making their off-Broadway debut in 2006. Their first album, "Our First Mistake," was released in 2011 and features the hit "Run Away with Me."
"The joy that Kerrigan and Lowdermilk bring to musical theatre is infectious," Adams says. "Beyond simply hearing the wonderful music of this talented team, the audience will get to experience the journey that artists take when creating a song, a play or a musical."
During their performance at KSU, Kerrigan and Lowdermilk will perform a number of their most popular songs, including fan favorites "Freedom" and "Run Away With Me." Several KSU students will also have the opportunity to perform alongside the duo. "KSU musical theatre students and local Atlanta professionals will be singing some of Kerrigan and Lowdermilk's solos and duets," explains Adams. "We are also putting together a 6-piece instrumental ensemble to accompany the singers, so it should be a thrilling musical evening."
While at KSU, Kerrigan and Lowdermilk will also be offering master classes for theatre students on the afternoons before their performances. "This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to work with rising young New York songwriters," Adams says. "Our mission at the Department of Theatre and Performance Studies is to help develop new work and connect our students with working professionals, and this event is a great example of that."
Tickets for the concert are $20. Discounts are available for KSU personnel, seniors, military and groups. For more information, visit the KSU box office online or call 770-423-6650.

Not a bad map. I like the mountains, except they are to bright, tone them down / desaturate or darken them a bit. I like the compass and the ocean texture.
My main complaint is the towns, they have feathered edges, so there are buildings that fade into the background.

We no longer link to this site.
If there is anything that my years as a porn reviewer has taught me, it would have to be that most, if not all, chicks dig the idea of delving into a hot pussy. In fact, my fellow reviewer Peacock has said time and time again that about 90 percent of women have had a lesbian experience. If that idea gets you hot, then just imagine the fire that'll be building in your loins when you realize that the muff divers at Nylon Lesbos throw some sort of pantyhose into the mix.
That's right folks, they aren't lying when they say that these chicks are salivating over their nylon-wearing counterparts. Moreover, as we've come to expect from the network of sites to which NylonLesbos is a part, most of the scenes, some of which are exclusive, demonstrate a kinkiness that you don't always find on a gal-on-gal site. Whether it is their tongue wagging against a throbbing clit or a high heel being used to vibrate and penetrate a wet pussy, these hot chicks pleasure one another by any means necessary.
If the idea of the action turns you on, then I'm sure that the look of these babes in all sorts of pantyhose, fishnets and stockings might be able to bring you to the next level of excitement and anticipation. I say might because with only 52 videos currently available, you might not have enough porn viewing at your disposal for the time being. However, the content quality is superb regardless of whether you choose the streaming or the downloadable options.
For those who like both the lingerie and the lesbian niche, there is a nice surprise for you in the bonus section. Your membership also comes with access to eight other sites, including Stockings Kingdom, Latex Lesbos, Elder Hoes, BDSM Bang and Femdom Chamber to name a few.
While the bonuses aren't all theme related and there isn't a lot of content yet, those with a penchant for nylons and babe-on-babe action will have a lot to check out. Keep in mind that Nylon Lesbos isn't completely exclusive.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Ratings for Dr. Glen R. Leavitt
Terrible experience. This is my first pregnancy and this office was no help. I ended up switching doctors half way through. I never saw Dr leavitt himself cause he was always to busy. There is no communication between nurses and the doctors there. I ended up dealing with a UTI for almost 2 months because they kept "forgetting" to send my urine sample to the lab. When I would call to ask if they had results they would say the lab hadn't got back to them yet... only to find out later they never sent it in. This happened 3 times. Not to mention they are way over priced. I've paid them 5x as much as I have with the other doctor I've been seeing. His office staff is a joke. They really shouldn't be allowed to deal with the public. They are rude and treat you like you are worthless. I was referee to this office but I will never suggest anyone go there.
Dr Leavitt delivered my daughter's baby, I work with him at the hospital and found him to be professional, kind and always took the tie needed. i have had him do a surgery I needed and have now referred my daughter-in-law to him.
Dr. Leavitt delivered my previous 2 children, one in 2009 and one in 2013. My first experience in 2009 was wonderful. I was able to see Dr. Leavitt for most of my appointments. I really like his personality and the care he gave me. I also really liked all of his nurse and the front office staff. My experience on 2013 was not as nice. It seemed to me that his practice had grown out of control. It was nearly impossible for me to get appointments with him. I only saw him 4 times.....and I was high risk. He had a women working at the front desk who often seemed overwhelmed and irritated. (She didn't with there in 09). She was especially short and unkind on the phone. Also in 2013, Dr. Leavitt took on a partner who all patients were required to see for a visit (in case she had to deliver you). I think the real reason for this was Dr. Leavitt was overbooked. I do not like his partner AT ALL. I would NEVER have let her me. I am now pregnant and looking for a me doctor. :(
After seeing Dr. Leavitt twice, I really wanted him to deliver my baby. However, his staff is the most unprofessional and rude staff I've ever dealt with. I've had to call multiple times about my insurance because they couldn't figure it out. Also, they yell your information across the room and treat you like you're just another name on a list. I'm surprised they haven't had a HIPPA violation yet. I had to reschedule my appointment this week and they can't fit me in for another week and a half. (I'm 37 weeks along...) So the next time I see the doctor, I may be in the hospital delivering. Oh, and they always try to throw you in with the PA. You rarely see Dr. Leavitt himself.
I have seen Dr. Leavitt since he started practicing and loved him. However recently I have had a problem with a bill and getting no help! He has done approximately 10 surgeries on me and I had a huge issue with my insurance company and am trying to get things resolved but his office is unwilling to do anything to help me. Very frusterated! Before this happened I would have recomended him to anyone but not any longer. I thought the thousands of dollars he got from me would be enough for him to be willing to make a deal with me but apparently they are so greedy and have so little compassion they wont.
We were new to the area when we were pregnant with our 2nd child. Many people recommended Dr. Leavitt because he was "the best". Having had an exceptional doctor where I previously lived, I was thoroughly disappointed with my experience with Dr. Leavitt. He is far too busy to spend time with his patients (double and triple booking appnts) and was very pushy about getting induced (no medical need) because he was going on vacation. His office staff wasn't great either, not personable but very prompt about receiving a form of payment (which was paid in full months before the birth of our baby) before asking you any other questions. As for the PA, he was fine, but I would much rather see a doctor than a PA for the majority of visits. My previous doctor was truly concerned about me and by baby not just when I was going to make a payment. I will not be returning to this office in the future.
Dr. Leavitt is almost to busy, I feel like we paid top dollar to just see his PA. Through out my entire experience with Dr. Leavitt I only saw him 2 out of the 8 times. One of the two was at delivery. I would not recommend him as a doctor that cares for his patients. He is much more expensive then other Dr's in town not to mention you are paying to see the Dr and end up have his PA doing all his work for him. His office staff is a little air headed. My appointments would get messed up and or they would just plain forget to put my appointment on the books and I would show up on time just to be told that they need to reschedule my appointment. Just a disappointing experience up to this point. Don't think Ill use him next time.
Dr. Leavitt was very nice and knowledgeable but also EXTREMELY busy. He did take his time to talk with me but definitely didn't remember anything about my previous appointments when I went back in(I went many times for fertility issues) I really liked him but not his PA Scott. I had to go to him once I got pregnant after an ultrasound and he said since my last period dates didnt match up with the ultrasound correctly I could have a dead baby inside of me! I couldnt believe that he said that! I went to another doctor and everything was totally fine with my pregnancy.
I have had a good experience with Dr. Levitt, however his office staff is far from helpful/professional, especially his office manager. Craig has no bedside manner, doesn't deal well with public, and has no empathy what so ever to the point that the patient no longer wants to deal with him. It is unfortunate because Dr. Levitt is an awesome doctor, but I will never go back. I am not sure if Dr. Levitt takes on too many patients because he has a hard time recalling pertinent patient conversations/information. I don't know if Dr. Levitt chooses to be completely oblivious to how bad his office staff really is. Unfortunately Dr. Levitt's patients can tell him this, and have, but he does nothing about it, or, the staff calls you back and is completely unprofessional about what they have been called out on. He is going to loose a lot of business.
Dr. Leavitt is a kind, compassionate doctor, who cares about you and your baby, as people, not patients. Best experience of all doctors I have been to. He is down-to earth and practical. Helped me to understand everything that was going on with me and my baby. Would recommend him to anyone I met--and I do!

PULLMAN, Wash. -- Washington State's Kyra Holt was named the Pac-12 Volleyball Freshman of the Week for her play during the week of Sept. 2-8.
Holt, a middle blocker from Hercules, Calif., led WSU to the Cougar Challenge Tournament title with wins over Eastern Washington, Texas Tech, Montana and South Dakota. Holt had 51 kills for a 3.92 kills per set average and hit .294. She also landed five service aces, six blocks and 39 digs for a 3.00 digs per set average.
In season statistics for the 7-0 Cougars, Holt's 4.00 kps leads the team and is ranked fifth-best in the Pac-12 and her 0.40 service aces per set (10 total) leads the team and is ranked tied for ninth in the Pac-12. She has a .338 attack percentage average and hit .515 in last week's win at Army where she was named to the Black Knights Invitational all-tournament team.
"Kyra was extremely steady and improved all weekend and we are really happy about her play so far this season," Cougar Head Coach Jen Greeny said.
Holt is the 22nd Cougar volleyball player selected for a conference player of the week honor and the first freshman to receive the Freshman of the Week nod.
WSU plays at the Sam Houston Invitational in Huntsville, Texas, this weekend.

Rules for Home Office Depreciation for Businesses
Posted By Jim On 10/17/2006 @ 1:04 pm In Taxes | 6 Comments
As I blogged earlier this week, I plan on taking the home office deduction [3] this year against the income generated from my sole proprietorship. In addition to the home office deduction, I am qualified for the home office depreciation deduction as well (if you qualify for one, you qualify for the other) so I will also be taking that. While the rules for qualification are the same, the depreciation deduction is slightly more involved (since it's not a simple summation of your expenses).
If you bought an office elsewhere for business purposes, you would be able to deduct the cost of that office across 39 years. With the home office depreciation deduction, you're treating your home office as a purchase of that space and you can deduct that cost over 39 years. By definition, depreciation is "an allowance for the wear and tear of your home used for business" so it would not apply to the land the property sites on.
How Do You Calculate the Depreciation Deduction?
First, you must collect several important pieces of information:
So for example, my house was appraised at $299,999 (I'm not sure if that's the value I should use or if I should use the sale price of $295,000) and my home office is approximately 5% of the house (I'll have to measure it to be sure), so I should be able to depreciate about $15,000 over 39 years. According to the MACRS Depreciation Tables from Publication 587 [4] (I've referenced 2005 since the 2006 one hasn't been released yet), since my business started in January 2006, I would be able to depreciate 2.461% of the $15,000, or $369.15. It's not a lot of money, but it's something.
Recapturing Depreciation
Since I will be depreciating the one room in my house, I'll have to recapture it when I sell the house. You simply reduce the value of the home by some amount and you "pay" for the extra gain. For me this will be a non-issue, in terms of a net effect, because when you sell a house, you don't have to pay up to $250,000 of the net gain if you buy another house. That limit increases to $500,000 for married couples (which I will likely be by then). So in terms of decision making, recapturing this depreciation is immaterial.
Whew! That was a lot of content and there is a good chance I got something in there wrong (maybe the math), so if you did wade through it (thank you!) please please please let me know if I messed something up!

UK Immigration Law
Ask an UK Immigration Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
You are to have the civil partnership ceremony in the US and have it registered there - is this correct?
Hi Tom
Yes that is correct. We plan to undergo a civil partnership ceremony in Connecticut and then apply to have it recognised in the UK with a view to my partner and I ultimately living at my UK abode.
Right. But will you receive your civil partnership certificate in the US once you have completed the ceremony?
This is the legal document confirming your status as civil partners. This is the important document. Some states under state law permit these certificates, some don't.
Kind regards,
Yes we will. Civil partnership is permitted in Connecticut and the ceremony is presided over by a J.P
Hi Phil,
Great. That means you should receive your Certificate of Civil Partnership following the ceremony. This is the equivalent of a Marriage Certificate and you can use it to apply for a spouses visa (settlement) to the UK.
The UKBA do not permit any applications to be made when a person is on a visitor's visa and they are very strict about that.
Your partner will have to apply for settlement here once the ceremony has been completed. The eligibility criteria for obtaining a spouses visa is as follows,
You will have to show:-
You will see that I have put common documents submitted with such applications in brackets, but there is no exhaustive list and you should include and refer to any document you consider may be relevant. There is also a UKBA document which may assist:-
They will also have to demonstrate that they can speak and understand very basis English. You can see how to do this here:-
It would be best for a UK solicitor to prepare the application prior to your marriage to appraise you of the merits of your case and organise it so that you have the best chance of success without the need to appeal a rejection by the UKBA. it would cost around £700-1000+VAT. You can find immigration solicitors near you here:-
If this has been useful please kindly click accept so that I may be rewarded for my time. It will be gratefully received and you will be free to ask follow up questions.Kind regards,Tom

Hulett named to World Cup team roster
Tug Hulett, infielder for the Omaha Royals, will represent the United States at the 2009 International Baseball Federation (IBAF) Baseball World Cup in Europe from September 9-27.
Hulett is batting .292 with 11 home runs and 53 RBI in 92 games with Omaha this season. He played in 12 games in a pair of stints this year with Kansas City. Tug joined the Royals from the Seattle Mariners in February. He is the son of former Major League infielder Tim Hulett.
Tug will see a few familiar faces on the coaching staff. Last week, USA Baseball announced that Royals special assignment coach Eddie Rodriguez will serve as manager. Former Royal Jamie Quirk will be the third base coach and bench coach.
Congratulations to Tug on this honor!
FanFest Photos: Autographs
The autograph stages at FanFest are a hit with fans of all ages…hundreds lined up to get a signature from Royals heroes of the past (left), present (below left), and future (below right).
Fans bring a variety of items through the autograph lines. We saw one woman with a bowling ball (try carrying that around FanFest for a few hours!)…Royals players have been signing the ball for the last five years! Some items are easy to sign, while David DeJesus found out that a little more precision was needed to inscribe this stuffed animal.
Here's Joakim Soria penning his John Hancock on a green and white Royals Halfway to St. Paddy's Day hat. Maybe this fan is hoping that Joakim's signature will bring them a little luck.
New Royal Coco Crisp received loud cheers from the fans, who were more than happy to add Coco's signature to their collection.
Sometimes fans cherish the chance to welcome the newest players to Kansas City just as much as the signature.
Baseball is fun(damental)
As the Royals continue to roll, they continue to work on fundamentals. Back in Spring Training, Trey Hillman established that the basics are what this team would focus on, doing the little things right.
To find out what little things the Royals are doing now and how they are contributing to their current run of success, we go around the horn…
Two plays stand out from last night's game that help illustrate that point. Up by three, Miguel Olivo smashed a double into the right field corner, driving home Jose Guillen who was charging hard from second. Olivo beat the throw from Matt Holliday with a slide into second. The hit ended an 0-for-21 slide for the Royals catcher. What was the key of the at bat? Olivo saw 10 pitches. Rockies pitcher Jeff Francis had nothing new left to throw to Olivo. So he threw a pitch Olivo had already seen and Olivo made him pay. Francis left the game and the Royals continued to roll.
Alex Gordon deserves some props for some solid defense in the top half of the fifth. Gordon was able to turn two by simply being aware of the runner on base. Chris Iannetta was on third and Willy Taveras hit a hard bouncer straight at Gordon. Iannetta froze, like most players would, to see where the ball was going. By the time he started to turn, Gordon had quickly applied the tag and fired the ball across to first baseman Ross Gload. Gordon helped out his pitcher Brian Bannister hold down the damage and quickly put the Royals in a more manageable situation with two outs and one runner on base.
Both plays were small in comparison to the 8-4 final score, but take them away and who knows what might have happened.
The team is having fun right now. Of course, winning will do that. But in the Royals' eighth, Ross Gload hit his first homer since the beginning of September last year. The bench let him know when he got back. Normally the home run hitter finds a dugout full of high-fives awaiting his return. Gload found silence and no one really paying attention to him. The whole bench stiffed him and he was left hanging. But only for a few seconds. The team burst into laughter and Gload got his credit.
Today after a regular pitcher's fielding practice (PFP) session, about 10 players along with Trey Hillman and Bob McClure started playing a quick-throw game of catch. "The Play-Catch" drill, as MLB.com reported earlier this season, is designed to work on the most basic fundamentals of the game, throwing and catching the baseball. Players scatter around the infield dirt and fire the ball to one-another as quickly as possible. There is no set pattern to throw in. The only rules, don't drop it, throw as quickly as you can and try not to hit the guy standing on the mound in the head. The infielders played it earlier this season and went nine or 10 minutes without dropping the ball in the fast-paced game.
Today was the pitchers turn. They didn't last as long, but they seemed to be having fun. And so were the onlookers. Catcher John Buck could be seen just smiling and shaking his head watching the drill near the first base line, while Miguel Olivo stood near the dugout counting
as each ball was caught and laughing as the pitchers scooped and fired. Infielders, for the most part, try not to put any movement on the balls they throw. However, pitchers want life. That can make a throwing drill a little complicated when 6-foot-5 sinkerballer Luke Hochevar lets one fly. Trey Hillman bent and caught one at his ankles and with a smile, yelled "Hoch is throwin' sinkers over here."
Over the last ten games, the Royals are 8-2…It's no coincidence that David DeJesus and Mike Aviles continue to be an offensive force, scoring 18 runs, totaling 28 hits (15 for extra bases, with five being homers) and knocking in 20…The Royals claimed right-handed pitcher Robinson Tejeda off waivers from the Rangers this afternoon, moving John Bale to the 60-day D.L. to make room on the 40-man with another move imminent on the 25-man when Tejeda joins the team, probably tomorrow…Notes from Trey Hillman's pre-press conference: Mark Grudzielanek is still out with a sore back and is day-to-day…Trey's assessment on the Royals' newest pitcher in two words: power arm.
We covered Joakim Soria yesterday but failed to mention that he's a "cover boy". Soria is on the cover of Royals Gameday Magazine from June 20 to July 23. Gameday is sold throughout Kauffman Stadium or by calling 1-800-6-Royals and is a monthly 128-page magazine containing insight and inside information on the Royals.
Tonight is the middle game of the Rockies series and a special note should be made that this is their first-ever trip to Kansas City. As we mentioned yesterday, manager Clint Hurdle and bench coach Jamie Quirk are Royals alums. Quirk is a Kansas City resident in the offseason and Hurdle is making his first trip back to K.C. since 1981.
We bring them up again because Quirk is also making an appearance in Gameday this month, under the feature about a Royals alum.
Question for you all tonight… Which Royals alum are you curious about?
DeJesus CF
Aviles 2B
Gordon 3B
Guillen LF
Olivo DH
Teahen RF
Buck C
Gload 1B

Website helps clients complete tasks
CORNELIUS – A new website unites those who have tasks that need completion with freelancers looking to help others get jobs done.
The web service was started by a busy working mom, Julie Miller, who noticed two things: Her "to-do" list kept growing and she could never seem to tackle some of the tasks. A number of people around her were either underemployed, working overtime for extra pay or looking to turn a hobby into a business.
Miller designed TaskMasters to help people get help with chores or get paid to help others complete those tasks.

It's almost cliché to talk about how bad of a year 2012 was for communications equipment vendors dependent on American and European carrier spending. With core broadband access product sales down 13% in 2012, ADTRAN (Nasdaq:ADTN) definitely found itself among the laggards, with shares down more than 30% over the past year and well below the S&P 500.
But 2013 is a new year, and hope springs eternal in the hearts of tech investors. While investors should not discount the competitive risks from rivals like Calix (NYSE:CALX) and Alcatel Lucent (NYSE:ALU), there is reason for at least cautious optimism that carrier infrastructure deployments will lead to better results for ADTRAN. At a minimum, it certainly doesn't seem like the Street has priced this stock for particularly breathtaking performance.
Top Investment Trends For 2013: We go over a few investment trends for you to think about for 2013.
2013 Off To A Good Start
Particularly in the wake of F5's (Nasdaq:FFIV) gruesome warning on telco spending, ADTRAN needed to deliver some optimism and it looks like the company came through.
Revenue rose 6% from the year-ago period and 2% sequentially, topping both the average and highest sell-side estimate. Profits were also better than expected. While gross margin did fall sharply from the year-ago level, the company's first quarter number was better than expected and up sequentially on a non-GAAP basis. Likewise, while operating income was down sharply from the first quarter of 2012, there was sequential improvement and the reported number was considerably higher than analysts expected.
Arguably just as important, management's commentary was relatively positive. It looks like carrier spending is improving, and management expects spending trends to improve as the year goes on. Time will tell of course, but it clearly beats the alternative of another negative revision.
SEE: Can Earnings Guidance Accurately Predict The Future?
Can AT&T Come Back As a Major Customer?
One of the concerns I've had about ADTRAN is the company's customer mix. Verizon (NYSE:VZ) and AT&T (NYSE:T) have both declined in terms of their revenue contributions, and I've been worried that ADTRAN has lost wallet share to rivals like the aforementioned Calix and Alcatel, as well as others like Ericsson (Nasdaq:ERIC) and Huawei (overseas). At the same time, CenturyLink (NYSE:CTL) has been a relatively good customer for ADTRAN, but its increasing importance as a percentage of revenue could make the company vulnerable to pushbacks on pricing and/or loss of spending share to Calix.
Ultimately I still believe that there's a real opportunity here. Fiber to the X (FTTx) is real, and I believe that carrier spending will be a "when, not if" question. Said differently, while upgrading to 4G is clearly important to carriers, FTTx (especially fiber to the home) is an important growth opportunity for carriers, as I believe they can grab revenue from rivals like cable companies with stiffer competition on bundled services.
The Operating Philosophy Is Still A Risk Factor
While I've mentioned it before and don't wish to harp on it, I do believe tech investors need to appreciate that ADTRAN's operating model is different than the normal tech company. ADTRAN doesn't try to be first to market or at the cutting edge of new technology. Instead, the company looks to provide low-cost equipment for more established markets, letting others take the risk of innovative product development (but also reaping the benefits of better pricing and margins). While it's true that carriers are always looking to save a buck, it does leave the company vulnerable to rivals like Alcatel if/when they take a meaningful step forward and can offer better technology with more compelling long term economics (cost-benefit).
SEE: A Primer On Investing In The Tech Industry
The Bottom Line
I was relatively positive on ADTRAN's valuation early in 2012, and clearly that proved to be a big mistake (at least in terms of the one-year results). So it is with more than a little trepidation that I say that ADTRAN shares do still look undervalued on a long-term basis.
If ADTRAN can grow its revenue at a long-term rate of 4% and its free cash flow (FCF) at a 5% rate, fair value comes out to around $25 per share – not a bad surplus to today's price. As this company has amply demonstrated, though, it cannot and does not control the demand for its products, and investors who think they may see value here need to keep those risks in mind.

The poor guy below lost alot of money… in fact Rain
man Tim called us up and broke it down for us!
By the time the gas fumes dissipated Monday morning, Wilmington, Calif. gas station owner Kenny Nguyen was looking at $21,000 in lost earnings for his family business.
During a three-hour stint on Sunday morning, Nguyen's Valero station was pumping premium gas at $1.10 a gallon, a significant bargain when you consider that the 91 Octane should've been pumping for $4.29 a gallon.
Thanks to Twitter, Facebook and smartphones, word of the discount spread quickly. It wasn't long before the lines began snaking their way down the street.
Motorists pumped some 7,000 gallons of gas into their tanks at the discounted price. Business was so booming that police had to be called in to help control traffic around the area.
Nguyen says the attendant on duty was busy staffing the convenience store and didn't notice that the price change didn't take, so the computer system defaulted to the $1.10 price.
"What can I do?" he said, according to the Torrence Daily Breeze.
Nguyen is hoping that people who took advantage of the windfall will come back to the store and make up the difference. On Monday, patrons flocked to the store to buy candy, snacks and whatever else they could to help make up for the lost earnings, but it's not the same as giving the family business the $30 or $40 difference from filling up their tank.
It's really unfortunate, in many ways, because expecting the kindness of people who probably got wide-eyed and giggly at paying $1.10 for gas aren't exactly the same people who are going to willingly come back and make up the difference. Which is a shame, because it's Nguyen and his family that are losing out significantly because of a computer glitch. Still, it's up to the business owner to make sure that his machines are working properly — ultimately, it's his error, not the consumer.
Hopefully, the community rallies behind him to make up that difference — $21,000 is a ton of money to lose out on as a small business. Nguyen shouldn't hold his breath.

Michigan expects to save $19 million dollars or more next year when it enrolls inmates and parolees in the state's expanded Medicaid program. That will send inmates to community hospitals for in-patient stays, which will be covered by the federal government. They are currently cared for inside state prisons, which Medicaid doesn't cover. The change will also cover mental illness treatment, substance abuse, and chronic health problems, in hopes of keeping people from returning to prison.

Web's Largest listing of crowdsourcing and crowdfunding events
2,968 crowdsourcing and crowdfunding sites
We have seen a few examples of where crowdsourcing can lead to unpredictable outcomes or maybe an outcome that the crowd wants but where the minority knows better. In our Crowdsourcing's Seven Deadly Sins article we covered how the popular vote for Coca Cola crowdsourcing campaign voted for the removal of "Classic Coke". There was the case where the public voted, tongue-in-cheek, for Rick Astley's Song "Never Gonna Give You Up" as the anthem for the New York Mets new eighth inning anthem winning over 5 million votes, but was only played once during the game...and the entire audience booed! On another occasion NASA called on the public for help in naming the International Space Station. Stephen Colbert caught word of the contest and shared it with his fans. Soon the name "Stephen Colbert" had six times more votes than any other options! NASA decided not to honor the winning choice. Finally there was the case where President Barack Obama tried crowdsourcing to collect questions for a press conference. His website, entitled "Open For Questions", was soon overtaken by enthusiasts for the legalization of marijuana, their cause rising above that of jobs, energy reform, and health care.
So, this time we have the German's to thank for helping us raise a smile! If you want the crowd to be really creative and you are giving them free reign to use their imagination you'd better be prepared for what they throw at you. This example might make you reconsider... Pril, a premium diswashing detergent by Germany based consumer brand giant Henkel is currently running a design contest asking consumers to relaunch the package design for a limitied edition campaign. Following a typical formulae, the 'My Pril' platform allows users to enter their own illustrations and vote for their favorite designs submitted by other contributors.
The illustrations announcing the competition provide a sneek preview of what Henkel's own marketing team have in mind for the new designs. So, many ideas were submitted which included labels with flowers and butterflies and (ooops!), one saying' Yummi Chicken Flavor - guess which one was ranked #1 by the users, who found the submission incredibly funny. When Peter, an ad writer from Hamburg, asked people to vote for his apparently absurd and good fun contribution, he triggered a social media avalanche.
And what did Henkel do? While all the hype was going on, they snuck in another competition rule and announced that they appreciate humorous contributions, but in the end the in-house jury would ultimately decide which design was the most applicable. Their new guidlines were that the jury could only consider designs which a) can be marketed effectively and b) clearly indicate that the product is a detergent. Ergo, no chicken design in the end – but good fun for the community, some awareness for Henkel, and - maybe most importantly - the worthwhile lesson that one should never under-estimate the crowd's playful ways.

Avira Free Antivirus 13 review
Poor test results and non-functional buttons make this version of Avira Antivirus a disappointment
Avira's latest interface is straightforward and usable – but in this free version, most of the features don't actually work, and are there only to tempt you to upgrade to the paid-for suite.
Best free antivirus
Find out which is our favourite free antivirus software here
The package also ties its web protection into an Ask.com toolbar that's installed by default for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer. Still, the suite no longer pops up a big advertisement when it updates, so overall it's less intrusive than previous versions.
It's nimble, too, adding a creditably low nine seconds to boot time and completing a quick system scan in 14 seconds. When we tried downloading a malicious file, the software warned us immediately – although, as well as removal options, the notification included a shameless link to paid-for support, which clearly wasn't needed in this case.
Ultimately, though, it isn't the advertising that lets Avira down, but the test results. AV-Test saw Avira achieve a low 84% detection rate against brand-new threats, and a similar overall repair rate of 85%. That puts its protection some way behind Avast Free Antivirus and AVG AntiVirus Free, making it an unattractive choice.

I debated doing a Gallery post for today since that it's the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States. But then realized I could do the that post title...
Today's entry is pretty simple, yet a pretty cool example too. Besides being C++, it's also something that struck a cord with many and seems to make allot of sense in concept.
I do use Kinect to wake up my monitor from sleeping (power down after screensaver).
This must be done when Kinect recognizes someone's body in front of his camera view.
Open SDK's Sample Skeletal Viewer project.
Open NuiImpl.cpp file
Find the line:if (pSkel->eSkeletonPositionTrackingState[i] != NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_NOT_TRACKED)
This is the moment when Kinect recognizes the body and construct skeletal data ready to display.
Add the following inside the above function:if (b_monitoroff)Of course, declare: bool b_monitoroff; in the beginning of SkeletalViewer.h
b_monitoroff = false;
// force monitor power up
SendMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_MONITORPOWER, (LPARAM)-1);
Open SkeletalViewer.cpp
Find the main window (dialog) route function and add:case WM_SYSCOMMAND:
switch (wParam)
case (SC_MONITORPOWER):
else if (lParam!=-1 && !b_monitoroff)
// monitor power gone down
b_monitoroff = true;
return 0;
That's all! From now, when you monitor gone down (with or without screensaver),
then when you will step beside Kinect camera, after a while the monitor will wake up.

Morgan State beats Florida A&M, 34-21
Published: Saturday, October 5, 2013 at 4:32 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 5, 2013 at 5:42 p.m.
BALTIMORE -- Seth Higgins threw for one touchdown and rushed for another as Morgan State broke a five-game losing streak with a 34-21 defeat of Florida A&M in a Mid-Eastern Conference battle on Saturday.
Higgins was 12 of 20 for 144 yards. He also led Morgan State (1-5, 1-1) in rushing with 102 yards on 17 carries and scored the first TD of the day on a 2-yard run. A 24-yard touchdown run by Lamont Brown put the Bears up 14-7 at the end of the first quarter and they held the lead throughout the rest of the game.
Florida A&M (1-4, 0-1) was dogged by mistakes, including a missed field goal in the third quarter. Rattlers QB Damien Fleming threw 3 interceptions and was sacked twice.
The loss is Florida A&M's third straight, and fourth of the season.
