Early Imaging, Diagnosis of Alzheimer's Leads to Better Outcomes
The findings come from the Metabolic Cerebral Imaging in Incipient Dementia study, an ongoing national clinical trial sponsored by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
|Arrows point to the brain areas that undergo progressive decline in metabolism.
First Row: Normal cognition.
Second Row: Age-associated memory impairment, defined as memory within normal limits for age, but noticeably worse for that patient than when he or she was younger.
Third Row: Mild cognitive impairment, defined as below normal limits compared with healthy people of the same age and education level.
Fourth Row: Alzheimer's disease, shown here for a metabolically advanced stage of dementing disease — in cases where each of these levels of symptoms is due to the Alzheimer's pathologic process occurring in the patient's brain.
The interim data show that patients whose doctors gleaned information from a brain PET scan performed with the tracer FDG — which measures energy being used throughout regions of the brain — did better over two years of follow-up than those whose doctors were randomized to not have access to the scan information. "During the subsequent two years after their PET scans, these patients had superior executive function, better memory abilities and greater preservation of overall cognitive function," says Daniel Silverman, MD, (RES '94, FEL '96) PhD, professor of molecular and medical pharmacology and the study's principal investigator. The research, Dr. Silverman says, provides "the first direct evidence that patients whose early Alzheimer's disease is revealed by FDG–PET will do better than patients with the same condition but with their brain-metabolism pattern remaining unknown to their doctors and themselves."
Prior to these study findings, there was no rigorously controlled scientific evidence on the long-term clinical benefit associated with obtaining PET scans, or any other kind of neuroimaging, in the evaluation of cognitively declining patients. This multicenter, prospective, randomized and blinded study demonstrates significant clinical benefits, which may also save healthcare dollars.
"Patients who don't have Alzheimer's disease may be prescribed drugs that won't help them or may even make them worse," Dr. Silverman says. "And each year of taking these medications costs hundreds of dollars more than the reimbursement for a PET scan would cost." Conversely, he says, undiagnosed Alzheimer's patients won't get the drugs that this study shows would help them, when given early, to maintain their cognitive abilities. These patients may ultimately need nursing-home care, at an average cost of about $7,000 a month, six-to-nine months earlier than patients with the same brain pattern who were diagnosed and treated sooner as a result of the early availability of the PET-scan information.
The interim results are based on an examination of 63 patients who underwent FDG-PET and neuropsychological testing at baseline. The testing and collection of medication-prescription data were repeated every six months for two years. The doctors in the arm of the study who were able to immediately view the PET scans treated their patients differently than doctors who didn't get scan results until the end of the two-year study. About 40 percent of the patients whose doctors were informed of the presence of the Alzheimer's brain-metabolism pattern were given drugs specifically indicated for dementia within the first six months of the study.

Top 20 Best Inventory Management Software for Small Business, Enterprises, Platforms, and Solutions
Inventory is one of the largest expense items for many, if not most, companies that sell products. Due to the necessity to control and understand inventory, companies must be keenly aware of stock on hand. Furthermore, executives are extremely interested in understanding how to manage and control inventory levels. The best inventory management software helps companies track inventory.
Inventory control software makes it easy to manage inventory. It does not matter if a business only sells basic products in a single store, you are a solo entrepreneur selling crafts online or a national chain of retail stores. All companies must understand the flow of merchandise to succeed.
With the rise of cloud-based technology, there are plenty of inventory management software solutions that can make life much easier.
Plus, technology has a history of helping managers control inventory costs.
Before computers, tracking inventory involved single-stage calculations done by hand per item, per location. The isolated tracking measures made it difficult, if not impossible, to attain true visibility across large supply chains.
The introduction of the UPC (universal product code) in the 1970s sparked the start of an inventory control technology revolution.
The UPC code started with the grocery industry and moved on to other retail establishments. Gradually, the handwritten inventory processes were replaced by barcode scanning and computer data entry. The inventory technology revolution continues today, as the new control systems make the initial UPC and barcode systems obsolete.
Now, inventory management systems are highly sophisticated and capable of multi-stage, multi-site management, tracking, and analytics. The software market is saturated by diversity in scale, purpose, and functionality, which makes the buying process extremely complicated.
As with most markets that are well developed, there are a lot of possible solutions. Due to the complexity of inventory controls (products are being bought and sold everyday), the best inventory management systems should be considered an investment.
As a small business owner that struggled with inventory control notes the upside of a great software solution:
"We've been able to make things as efficient as possible in terms of order taking right on through our picking and shipping process. For us, the investment certainly was worth it."
How Does Inventory Management Software Work?
Inventory management software aims to control how companies stock merchandise or items required to produce final merchandise.
Often, companies rely on the inventory module that is including in a stock accounting system. However, these modules, whether they are basic or sophisticated, tend to do little more than provide a quantity count of how much stuff is in the warehouse.
Typically, these out-of-the-box modules perform pretty well at stock control, but are not much help in managing inventory volumes to avoid a common scenario.
Your company carries inventory to satisfy customer requirements, but no matter how much time is spent trying to calculate the perfect quantity to order, your business:
• continues experience the frustrations of stock outages on high demand items (which are critical for cash flow and financial success).
• suffers from old inventory "gathering dust" because customers do not want old merchandise (despite any discounts).
Businesses suffer from inventory imbalance and both dilemmas cost precious resources (time to figure out how to manage the inventory and money wasting on unsold products).
The best inventory management software helps alleviate this issue.
Inventory management software improves operational efficiencies compared to the alternative (or manual method of tracking inventory through an excel spreadsheet) because:
• spreadsheets become unwieldy quickly.
• tracking is at risk of human error and incorrect data entry.
• inventory is not updated on a real-time basis.
• data is likely stored locally and at risk of loss or corruption.
• limited ability to be imported into accounting or POS software.
• method is not scalable and will struggle to keep up with the growth of your business.
As a result, it becomes difficult to properly analyze inventory and sales data in real-time, which hinders the ability to order proper amounts of merchandise.
Technology, such as barcodes and/or radio-frequency identification (RFID), matched with software enables managers to make real-time decisions.
Now, where to begin the evaluation process?
To start, define what is needed.
Bob Parker, vice president of industry research at IDC Industry, explains why it is important to start with the basics:
"Before you get fancy, get the fundamentals right.Do you have good part numbering and stocking locations? Do you have well-defined and understood processes for receiving, put away, pick, move and ship? Do you employ good control mechanisms like regular cycle counts? Once the fundamentals are in place an SMB can explore more advanced technology like barcode readers and analysis tools if volumes support it."
Understanding the foundation becomes worthwhile because there are so many options and benefits that inventory management software provide to businesses.
• Highest Level of Data Security
• Lower Implementation Costs
• Reduced Setup Time
• Subscription Based Billing Means No Long Term Commitment
• Access Inventory Data Anywhere, Anytime
There are a tremendous amount of benefits that businesses derive from a web-based inventory management system.
Standard Inventory Management Features
As a company understands their individual needs, then it is important to understand the standard features, benefits and services that the leading software solutions provide.
The inventory requirements of various industries are quite different, so many of the best inventory management solutions cater to specific niches or sectors. While evaluating the standard features, it might be a good idea to mark down the benefits that are definites, as well as irrelevant.
However, there are critical features that all niche software solutions should provide.
• Central hub to ensure software acts as a 'central hub' between all purchase points, including online stores and multiple physical locations.
• Real-time data is particularly important for companies with multiple stores or warehouses.
• Security that enables all inventory to be backed up online in the cloud and not stored locally.
• Hardware integration that allows the software to work with existing operating system and barcode or RFID scanner.
All software solutions should offer technical support and training that allows critical team members to understand how to use the product. For some vendors, the additional cost of implementation, support, and training can be quite expensive.
Inventory tracking
Good inventory software allows managers to see overall inventory levels and look at individual items to determine specific sales and resupply history. Being able to track these by lot or serial numbers makes it easier to find specific groups of products, along with tracking returns and process reorders. Some software provides warnings if inventory gets low, while others include reports to identify products that need reordering.
Keep an eye on the following features:
• Track by Preferred Method
• Transparent Inventory Stages
• Track Return Management
• Track Business Supplies and Low Stock Alerts
• Track Kitting
• Track Transferred Stock Across Multiple Locations
• Sales Forecasting Functionality
Administrative Functionality
All inventory management programs should allow managers to bulk import inventory information from standard options, such as a CSV file. The best solutions integrate with barcode scanners or leading eCommerce shopping cart software to ease the administrative implementation and tracking effort.
In particular, if your business sells online, then. eCommerce integration is especially useful because it tracks online sales (plus physical sales). In addition, here are some other standard administrative features:
• Manage Customer Database
• Customizable Paperwork
• Multi-Currency Capability
• Customizable Input Optionality
• Printable Labels
• Unlimited Users
• Delegation Authority
Reporting and Data Analysis
Database tools, like adding notes to products or customer databases and attaching product images, enhance product information. In particular, images are especially useful when several products have similar names. The best inventory management solutions include reporting tools and the ability to analyze business data.
For example, by including the customer and supplier database within the program, managers can easily create orders and check on specific sales data. Along those lines, here are some other benefits that the best software provide:
• Customizable Reports
• Integrate with Existing Software
• Import Historical Data
• Complete Set of Financial Tools
Order Optionality
For companies with multiple warehouses, businesses or locations, look for programs with features to combine numbers or view the locations separately. Through web-based technology, inventory management program allows managers to monitor inventory and sales in multiple areas. The best solutions enable managers to order more products through a mobile interface that is complete with customizable information, such as:
• Create Purchase Orders
• Create Custom Alerts
• Provide Inventory Planning & Forecasting
The best inventory software is easy to use and fits within the confines of your current business operations.
For example, consignment shops or local grocers with perishable products can present unique challenges to a basic software solution aim at the retail market. Take the time to conduct proper due diligence to understand standard features and must have services while evaluating inventory management solutions.

How to Compare Inventory Management Providers
Solutions for inventory management come in a variety of packages.
Although there is a stunning amount of differentiation among solutions, the best inventory management solutions help automate and control some or all of the following areas:
• Inventory balance optimization (maintaining the best mix and volume of items)
• Tracking inventory between locations (via barcodes, serial numbers, or radio frequency ID)
• Procurement of new inventory (replenishment ordering, receiving, returns)
• Warehouse distribution (packaging, shipping)
• Connecting product sales (in-store or online) to inventory levels
• Preventing spoilage and obsolescence
• Managing fixed assets (equipment, facilities, vehicles)
• Demand forecasting and planning
• Accurate financial reporting
To compare between the various vendors, it is important to decide which of these functional areas are important to your business and select software with strong tools in those areas.
There are also more general traits for effective inventory software that will help you keep up with competitors and reap greater return on your investment.
• Choose a system that integrates with or includes other back-office systems, like point-of-sale (POS), customer relationship management (CRM), and accounting software.
Inventory management is not an end in itself. It is only valuable because it enables better execution of other business processes, like sales, marketing, and service delivery.
• Choose a system that works in real time and is flexible, scalable, and transparent to users.
Inventory is not a fixed entity, but rather a living, breathing organism subject to continuous fluctuation.
The best inventory management programs are responsive to these changes and keep users updated in real- time. The cream of the crop find a way to grow with your company, such as adding new warehouses, employees, and store locations.
Here are fives keys to keep in mind during the decision making process.
1. Ease of Use
Training staff to use new technology can be an expensive, time-consuming process. Many vendors offer live demonstrations or software trials, so test drive the inventory software before any purchase. This is a great way to evaluate how easy (or hard!) a product will be for you and your employees to learn, without having to spend a dime.
2. Balance of Features and Simplicity
Make a list of the inventory tracking features that are must have and use this as a measuring stick for the solutions you're considering.
3. Integration with Existing Technology
There are two considerations here: hardware and software. Avoid unexpected expenses by carefully reviewing the system requirements for the inventory software you are considering. Be sure that the existing operating system supports any solution the company considers.
4. Timeliness of Data
Inventory solutions can be used as software only or with a mobile computer. Using a mobile computer provides the flexibility to update inventory data from the warehouse, instead of doing every transaction from a computer. If your inventory changes rapidly or you don't keep large amounts of stock on hand, wireless inventory solutions that offer real-time data is a must.
5. Cost
Trying to determine what an inventory tracking solution actually costs can be difficult. Elements that can bump up your basic solution cost are per-seat software licenses, hardware add-ons (like mobile computers or barcode scanners), technical support contracts, training, and implementation. Request a quote that includes everything required to eliminate surprises when it's time to buy.
Choosing the right inventory solution for your business will take time and careful research, but it's worth the investment.
How to Choose the Best Inventory Management Software Solution
The best inventory control software does more than just track the flow of products in and out of a storefront or warehouse. The best software alerts managers related to inventory issues, handles different kinds of orders and works within the confines of the current operations, while providing reporting tools that enable managers to make sound business decisions.
According to Bob Parker, the aforementioned vice president at IDC Industry Insights notes that inventory management systems may seem expensive, but provide sufficient return if implemented and leveraged correctly.
"The relative merit of investment depends on the size of the problem that is being addressed. Fifty thousand dollars is not much if you free up $150,000 or more of cash."

I would like to know your opinions on the subject.

Definitely. It signifies her life matters to her. The old way was for the guy to get his life in order while the woman is just suppose do on autoa, I all your be ready whenever asks.
If she proposes when she's ready they both Have to respect the the fact her life matters. If he's not interest he can say no but there no reason she should be waiting around like its after school and her dad coming to pick her up.
I also don't think her asking takes away from him knowing he wants to marry her. If anything a guy who can say yes to a woman proposing is more apt to actually care about her not just the idea of marriage and the grand gesture.
Anyhow of course whoever wants to ask should go ahead and do it. I find it silly this is still a debate. Over 50% of bread winners in families are women now.00|01|0

text: Politics 11 March 2002 Trinidad has been failed by its middle class; now it faces a coup Sign up for our weekly email * I spent the last few days of my visit to Trinidad in a small and well-appointed flat among the middle classes. The caste that rules the country accommodated me effortlessly. Most of them, like me, were schooled at Queen's Royal College, whose colonial tutors educated us to take over the reins of government when independence came. I had long liquid lunches, visits to their homes (usually complete with two cars and a swimming pool), and short conversations with their kids, some of whom called me Uncle Darcus. But never before have I encountered such deep authoritarian instincts, fascistic even. This ruling caste is largely responsible for the attitudes of Caribbean youth and we see the results not only in Kingston and Port of Spain, but also in New York, Los Angeles, London and Toronto. These young people have matured in a vacuum, believing nothing, ingesting indiscriminately all the trash that Hollywood releases. Urbanites to the core, they know very little or nothing of their own past, still less about the geography and economics of their own countries. The children of the middle classes, wholly divorced from their equivalent in the working class, are garlanded with O-level grades. But ask them about huge moments in the development of working-class culture and revolt, and they know nothing. Go back a generation or so, when the nationalisation of the oil industry in Trinidad was fought for with strikes, demonstrations and states of emergency, and they look at you with blank stares. In small countries, these details matter; they help to create social cohesion. During my boyhood in colonial times, the middle classes provided a cultural lead, ensuring a universality of values outside the straitjacket of religion. After independence, all that was lost. The superior educational qualifications of the Caribbean middle classes - degrees or qualifications in law or accountancy - allowed them to assume the leadership. But they have no experience of capital. Give them £1,000 and see what they have done with it after a year. Nothing. They will have bought some garments labelled from abroad, imported a piece of furniture and perhaps gone on a trip to America, but they will not have tried any kind of investment. They aim at nothing but the car, the extravagant bungalow and the swimming pool. Any interference with these creature comforts, and they go bananas. They consistently stress their patriotism but, when it is tested, it amounts exclusively to the defence of their own comforts. You cannot build or develop a society in that way without courting disaster. To Trinidad's current crisis (of which I have written in previous columns), they react with the most extreme solutions. At one of my long lunches, the most popular suggestion was hanging for murder at any age from 16 upwards, closely followed by taking people to the forest and shooting them. "What about throwing them from helicopters?" I teased. "And why not?" came the reply. The ruling caste would prefer to have a state of emergency but, in the present political impasse (the two parties are deadlocked at 18 seats each after the latest election), they cannot convene parliament to declare one. The authorities proceed all the same to declare curfews, to search whole communities without warrants, to issue orders to shoot on sight. Government here means getting your fingers in the national till and distributing revenue to your supporters. Corruption is on everybody's lips. Lawlessness is everywhere. The schools are in such a mess that middle-class rulers send their children abroad to be educated. A military coup is very much on the agenda. "What will the Americans have to say?" I asked. "Bush is for military capitalism and so are we," I was told. Any day now! Darcus Howe is an outspoken writer, broadcaster and social commentator.

See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 7 ounces creamed coconut
- 1⁄2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Directions See How It's Made
- Soften coconut - you can use the microwave, or a double boiler, or submerge your container in hot water. In a very warm house it might be soft enough already!
- Stir in peppermint extract and cocoa powder until thoroughly mixed. Taste as you go - I didn't measure how much I used so this is an estimate.
- Pour into candy molds, mini muffin tins, ice cube trays, very small cups, or whatever else you need to get the shape you'd like.
- Refrigerate or freeze until solid, and store in the refrigerator.

By Berthold Bouman, DTM Correspondent
Story Highlights
- Martin Tomczyk invincible at Lausitz
- Bruno Spengler fastest Mercedes driver
- Audi stronger than Mercedes this weekend
Audi had to wait six years to finally win the race at the EuroSpeedway Lausitz, today it was Martin Tomczyk (Audi Sport Team Phoenix) who brought the trophy back to the Ingolstadt-based Audi team. Tomczyk was 15 seconds ahead of the first Mercedes piloted by Bruno Spengler (Mercedes-Benz Bank AMG), who could not turn his pole position into a victory.
Second place was also for Audi, as Timo Scheider (Audi Sport Team Abt), who had been fastest during the morning warm-up session, performed a miracle and landed second place with an alternative pit stop strategy after starting from eighth place on the grid.
Tomczyk had a straight-forward race, after the start emerged from the first corner in third position, and overtook Jamie Green (AMG Mercedes) two laps later. After a great first pit stop he took over Spengler's leading position, and then started to pull away from the Canadian. Everything worked out well for Tomczyk today, the start, the pit stops and tyres, while the German himself did not make one single mistake. He scored his second successive win of the season and his sixth DTM career win.
" My A4 was fantastic again today, incredibly quick and extremely easy to drive," a happy Tomczyk reported after the race. "I love my car; it is huge fun to drive it - and the team again did a perfect job today. It's a great feeling to be leading the DTM with a year-old car."
Although Spengler led the race during the first 15 laps, he lost his first position after a less than an optimal first pit stop. After Tomczyk had made his prefect first pit stop, he came out of the pit lane and joined the race ahead of the Mercedes driver, and Spengler was simply not able to follow the fast yellow Audi of Tomczyk. The same scenario unfolded during the second round of pit stops, Spengler pitted on lap 32 and the question was now whether he could pass Tomczyk during his stop. But it wasn't to be and Spengler rejoined the race behind Tomczyk and later even lost his second position to Scheider.
Spengler was not really disappointed with the result today, "You can't really be disappointed if you get onto the podium in such a hotly contested racing series as DTM -- especially when it's such a close race as we've had here at the Lausitzring." He knew Tomczyk had simply been too fast for him today, "Tomczyk put in a magnificent performance today to take a well deserved victory. At the same time, though, we've banked six valuable championship points."
Scheider drove an impressive race, his team decided to put him on an alternative strategy and he stayed out as long as possible before he finally pitted for the first time on lap 29. By that time the other drivers were already pitting for the second time, Scheider then joined the race in third position behind Spengler. Only eight laps later Scheider pitted again, and after a flawless pit stop took over second position from Spengler, who's Mercedes was again no match for the Audis today. Scheider recorded his best result of the season thanks to his team's great strategy.
"A great day! Although I'd have wished to advance as much as possible from position nine finishing in second place in view of the highly competitive field in the DTM is anything but normal, Scheider said. "The performance of the car and the tires was fantastic. In addition, the strategy was perfect and my team did two superb pit stops. It's good to experience the feeling of standing on the podium again."
The race was over before it even had started for Susie Stoddart (TV Spielfilm AMG Mercedes), she wanted to start from the pit lane as her mechanics had discovered brake fluid had leaked from her car. But the team at the last moment decided not to start for safety reasons, as they still hadn't found the cause of the leak.
An obviously disappointed Stoddart, "Today was just bad luck. Unfortunately, I started losing brake fluid. My mechanics did everything they could, but they weren't finished in time for the start. That's part of racing, so now I'll just have to focus on the next race at the Norisring."
The race at Lausitz was not really the most exciting race of the season, right from the start most drivers settled for the position they were in, and the most crucial overtaking maneuvers of Tomczyk and Scheider took place in the pit lane. Nevertheless there were some good fights for position further down the field.
Gary Paffett (Tomas Sabo AMG Mercedes) diced for third position with Green early in the race, and on lap 26 he finally overtook Green. Briton Green then decided to stay out as long as possible, but found out it was not the right strategy when he on lap 35 pitted for the second time and rejoined the race in seventh position. Green then started to attack Miguel Molina (Audi Sport Team Abt Junior) for sixth position, the Spaniard hit the kerbs hard at Turn 1 and damaged his car. He had to give up his race and Green therefore crossed the finish line in sixth place.
Green certainly was not happy with his sixth place, "After my second place in qualifying, I'm not pleased with sixth place. I lacked the necessary pace in the race. I also had some bad luck as a result of pit stops, dropping a couple of positions."
Oliver Jarvis (Audi Sport Team Abt) meanwhile was battling for fourth position with Mercedes driver Paffett, but Paffett was just quick enough to keep his compatriot behind him, and finished in a well-deserved fourth position, and Jarvis finished behind him in fifth position.
Paffett about his race, "I'm relatively happy with my result. Thanks to making a good start, I moved up one position, moving into fourth place. After a great pit stop, I was even able to pass Jamie. Throughout the race, my speed was a match for Bruno's, who finished on the podium."
Jarvis was not happy with his race, "I'm pretty disappointed. In the warm-up this morning we showed that we had a really good pace for the race. But the strategy wasn't optimal. Before the stops we were in front of Timo [Scheider] but then we must have made a mistake. Otherwise I might have finished on the podium."
Tom Kristensen (Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline), who replaced Mike Rockenfeller, did what was expected from him and landed seventh position, albeit almost four seconds behind Green. The Dane had a pretty uneventful race, made his two mandatory stops as planned, but after a slow second pit stop returned to the circuit in ninth place. He later benefited of Molina's woes and moved up another position.
Kristensen summed up his day, "Seventh place in qualifying, seventh place in the race with a lot of consideration for all team colleagues, two points and 'Rocky's' Audi doesn't have a single scratch on it - that's a nice result."
The fastest rookies at Lausitz were Filipe Albuquerque (Audi Sport Team Rosberg) and Christian Vietoris (Junge Sterne AMG Mercedes), they crossed the finish line in eighth and ninth position respectively.
Vietoris had collided with another rookie, Eduardo Mortara (Audi Sport Team Rosberg) early on in the race and damaged his car. Mortara finally had to give up on lap 35 after he had struggled for some 25 laps with his Audi. Vietoris was able to continue without damage and during the last ten laps of the race he diced with Albuquerque for eighth place, but although he came close, could not overtake the Audi of the Portuguese.
The race became another drama for Mattias Ekstrom (Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline) who after nine laps was in sixth position, but then reported he suffered from vibrations and one car after another passed the Swede.
When he made his first stop he was already far behind, and to make things worse, the refueling can got stuck on his car and he left his pit area with the can still attached to his car. He braked hard and the can came loose and bounced through the pit lane, but the damage was already done, he rejoined the race in 13th position. On lap 26 he made his second stop and fell further back to 16th position, and crossed the finish line in 11th position.
Ekstrom was obviously disappointed, "This was not what we wanted. Especially in the first stint I was struggling with way too much oversteer - while braking and in the turns. After the first and second pit stop things were a little bit better but not perfect either. We've learned a lot today - but you don't get points for that."
Also a race to forget for Ralf Schumacher (Salzgitter AMG Mercedes), he started from a disappointing 17th position, did what he could, but got stuck at the back of the field in the early stages of the race. "I'm not happy with twelfth, but at least the race itself went better than the rest of the weekend. I lost a little time on the first stint perhaps, but not much more was possible today," he reported after the race.
As for the ongoing fight between Audi and Mercedes, the day ended as it had started with Audi in first and second place, and Mercedes in third and fourth place. Time to find out what the Audi and Mercedes bosses had to say.
Norbert Haug, Vice-President Mercedes-Benz Motorsport, "Unfortunately, all good things come to an end. After five successive victories and nine P1 finishes in eleven races at the Lausitzring, we didn't have the speed to win today." And added, "Our race setup certainly wasn't optimum today. We intend to correct that in time for the Norisring in two weeks."
Head of Audi Motorsport Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich, "We've been chasing victory here at the Lausitzring for a very long time. This weekend we could see from the outset that it would be possible. Martin [Tomczyk] and Timo [Scheider] did a perfect job of achieving our aim in the race."
Tomczyk is now leading the DTM championship with 30 points, one point more than Spengler who is now second with 29 points. Scheider has moved up to third place with 19 points, and Rockenfeller and Schumacher share fourth position with 14 points each. Next DTM race is in two weeks on the Norisring.

Nekketsu Tairiku: Burning Heroes
Review by Deltaflame
"An Enix RPG that can really pull you into the game."
Another great game that hasn't seen the light of America. Burning Heroes is an excellent Rpg made by ENIX, one of the greats of RPG games. A really, REALLY fun game, as it draws you into the character's storyline, all 8 characters! This game is one of those "Easy as heck to begin" but "Harder than heck to beat" game. The controls are OK, but a dash button could be useful, as the game does get a little long without running. The storyline, is actually all different, since each character has its own background, its own quest, but all the same boss. But the thing is, which makes this game's gameplay value really great, is that you have 4 characters to start out with, and over time you will be able to unlock 4 more characters, which is the ultimate goal of the game, is to beat it with all 8 characters. The Audio is kinda etchy, but some kick ass music, and excellent bass being used in the beginning. The Video is great, the graphics are very good, the title screen doesn't look pixelated, plus several ending scenes are very good also.
In my own recomendation: If you find this rare game, you must get it if you love RPGS!
Reviewer's Rating: 4.5 - Outstanding

Although she's had a few great reoccurring roles on TV shows like "Parks and Recreation," Jenny Slate is a comedic actress who's rarely been given a chance to shine on screen. After accidentally dropping the f-bomb, she was under utilized on "Saturday Night Live" and left after a season. Then she had some supporting roles in "The Lorax," "This Means War," and "Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chip wrecked," where none of the actors came out looking good. In "Obvious Child," Slate is finally given a chance to show off her full range as both a comedian and actress, proving that she's a star in the making capable of tremendous feats.
Based on a short film written and directed by Gillian Robespierre, "Obvious Child" centers on a young comic named Donna Stern (Slate). Donna is the epitome of almost every modern day new adult. She's nearly 30, still paying off her student loans, still mostly dependent on her parents, still unable to find a steady job, and still has absolutely nothing figured out. Her life continues to spiral downhill after getting dumped by her boyfriend, who she lightly stalks for the following week or so. Donna ends up having a one night stand with a nice guy named Max, played by Jake Lacy, aka New Jim, to those who were still watching "The Office" in season nine. A little bit down the line, Donna discovers that she's been impregnated and decides to get an abortion on Valentine's Day.
We've seen a ton of movies about women going through unplanned pregnancies, some good like "Juno" and others horrendous like "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1." Yet, few movies have centered on a woman going through with an abortion. Granted, it's a tricky subject that most writers wouldn't dare touch. That's not to say that the a-word hasn't been touched upon at all in film or television. Most of the time, though, it's only briefly glanced over and the woman ultimately decides to keep the baby after all. "Obvious Child" tackles abortion head on and addresses it with humor, heart, wisdom, and sincerity.
It's often amazing just how funny and warm "Obvious Child" is despite its difficult subject matter. What's even more impressive is that the film never attempts to villainize any of its characters. There are no disapproving parents, bitter baby daddies, one-dimensional protesters, or Planned Parenthood bombing nuts. The film itself isn't even really about choosing between pro-choice or pro-life. There's no end-all easy answer when all is said and done. "Obvious Child" simply shows a woman trying to live her life and live with the choices she makes.
If the very idea of abortion is blasphemous in your eyes and there's no room for discussion, "Obvious Child" probably isn't for you. Even if you're pro-choice, there are times in "Obvious Child" when it's hard not to feel uncomfortable. What gets the audience through the experience, though, is that Slate provides us with such a lovable, identifiable character to hold our hands throughout. Although some might have a hard time sympathizing with her, Slate makes it next to impossible to dislike Donna. She gives the whole film an infectiously happy vibe, proving that there can be a light even under the darkest of circumstances. I never thought there could be a feel good movie about abortion, but "Obvious Child" is the living proof… of course "living proof" might not be the best choice of words.

Smart ForTwo Ranked Most Embarrassing Car: Survey
According to a recent survey of 1,500 licensed drivers, the Smart ForTwo is the most embarrassing car, averaging a "cringe score" of 7.6.
The survey, conducted by CarInsurance.com, showed a gallery of 12 vehicles to 1,500 drivers and asked which one was the most embarrassing to be seen in.
The Nissan Cube came in as the second most embarrassing car to be seen in, and the Hummer H2 in third. But the competition wasn't even close, with 497 votes going to the Smart ForTwo as the number-one most embarrassing car. Why do people think this way? The most-cited reason was the car being too small, and the top write-in reason was for it being unsafe. For comparison's sake, the Nissan Cube had a cringe score of 3.6, less than half of the ForTwo.
Other interesting findings from the survey include the fact that purple is the most cringe-worthy color for a vehicle and that an inexpensive compact is the most embarrassing category of vehicle to be seen driving. Minivans were second while eco-friendly hybrids were third. And as for the most embarrassing accessory found on a vehicle? None other than headlight eyelashes, taking 34 percent of the votes.
So how awful would a purple Smart ForTwo with headlight eyelashes be on the road?

Gray night for Preston
By Peter ORourke
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Ten man Sheffield United recorded their first win of the season with a 1-0 win at Preston.
Ten-man Sheffield United recorded their first win of the season with a battling 1-0 victory at Preston.
Andy Gray's early goal proved to be enough for The Blades who were forced to defend for over 70 minutes with just ten men after Phil Jagielka was sent off for a professional foul.
United got off to a dream start with Gray heading home from close range after Leigh Bromby had nodded Michael Tonge's corner back across the face of goal.
The goal stung Preston into action and Paddy Kenny was forced to dive full length to keep out a shot from Eddie Lewis on ten minutes.
Preston were awarded the chance to get back into the game four minutes later when they won a penalty after Jagielka was sent off for pushing David Healy inside the box, but the normally reliable Graham Alexander saw his effort saved by Kenny.
Preston dominated possession for the rest of the first half and Chris Lucketti went close on 33 minutes when he rose highest to meet Erick Skora's corner, but he could not direct his header on target.
Healy had two chances to draw Preston level just before the break, seeing Bromby get in a vital block to his goalbound shot and then flashing a shot from Alexander's cross just over the crossbar.
Preston threw everything into attack in the second half in a bid to get back into the game and Lewis was inches away from scoring on 66 minutes when he saw his free kick from the edge of the area clip the top of the crossbar.
The Blades almost caught Preston on the break two minutes later with substitute Jonathan Forte breaking clear on goal and firing a shot against the legs of Andy Lonergan and when the ball came back into the box Alan Quinn was unlucky to see his shot fly just wide of the post.
United substitute Ashley Ward almost grabbed a second six minutes from time with a deflected shot, but Lonergan produced a brilliant reflex save to keep out the effort.

Can I use a credit card form without a gateway integration?Asked by raluxury on August 28, 2014 at 08:04 PM
Hello, I wamt to be able to collect credit card information without going through the gateway because I will Manually enter it in my office. Please let me know if that is possible
JotForm Support
I'm afraid that is not possible.
Our servers are not PCI DSS compliant such that you can collect Credit Card Information and store it in your Jotform account (which saves the information on our servers).
This is why we recommend the use of Payment Gateways which are PCI Compliant - which securely store the CC information for billing etc.
You can still use any of the available payment gateway integrations to collect CC information (highly recommended - taking liability of identity theft from you)
Please let us know if this helps.

Detailed Description
The most famous bootleg in rock history, with the possible exception of Dylan's own Basement Tapes finally made its official appearance 32 years after the event, and nearly 30 years after it started circulating in the underground. Although often identified as a Royal Albert Hall show, this May 17, 1966, concert, in which Dylan played electric material in front of a British audience, was actually recorded in Manchester (hence the unwieldy title with quotes around "Royal Albert Hall"). Even those who've owned this recording for many a year should be tempted by this official package, as it has been expanded to include the eight electric rock songs from the original bootleg, but also the seven solo acoustic performances that comprised the first half of the show. It's all in great fidelity. More importantly, the electric half in particular is an important document of rock history. It captures the point at which Dylan was at his most controversial and hard rocking as he blazes through mid-'60s classics such as "Like a Rolling Stone" and "Ballad of a Thin Man," radical electric arrangements of songs that had originally been recorded acoustically ("One Too Many Mornings," "I Don't Believe You"), and the hard rocker "Tell Me, Momma," which Dylan never recorded in the studio. On top of everything else there's a 56-page booklet with a fine essay by Dylan's friend Tony Glover (a notable folk musician in his own right). This is not just an interesting adjunct to Dylan's '60s discography; it's as worthy of attention as anything else he recorded during that decade. Originally, transferred from the 1/2" analog mix down masters and cut on Classic's "all tube" cutting system by Bernie Grundman and released on 180g Classic vinyl, this re-release is the first time this, long out of print Classic Record, has been on 140g vinyl as well our proprietary 200 gram Super Vinyl Profile making it sound better than ever! A must have - especially on 200g SVP.

About VISAL
For more information, please contact Gary May, EBU Information Officer, by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or by telephone at +33 1 47 05 38 20.
Although they represent an increasing part of the population, visually impaired (VI) seniors are one of the most marginalised communities in terms of lifelong learning. This is a clear obstacle to their active involvement in society. This is why British and Dutch experts on visual impairment and older age developped a VISAL training course tailor-made to both the age- and disability-related specific learning needs of elderly VI persons. The course was experimented in Austria, Croatia, Slovakia and the UK, and has later been implemented in France, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands and Portugal.
Information on the project is available in Austrian (German language), Slovakian, Croatian and Dutch.
Download this summary in:
- Croatian (WORD or PDF)
- Dutch (WORD or PDF)
- English (WORD or PDF)
- French (WORD or PDF),
- German (WORD or PDF)
- Slovak (WORD or PDF)
Why VISAL?
- Provide VI seniors with adapted learning contents,
- Improve elderly VI persons' social and professional skills,
- Increase VI seniors' self-esteem and motivation to learn further,
- Promote elderly VI persons' active involvement in society.
Which outcomes and results?
- 160 VI seniors trained in 4 experimental countries,
- 112 VISAL learning workshops,
- VISAL guide available in Croatian, Dutch, English, German and Slovak,
- National facilitators trained to facilitate VISAL workshops,
- 4 national conferences on elderly VI persons and lifelong learning.
Who is VISAL for?
The project will be targeted at VI senior citizens in Europe, whose proportion in the population is increasing. The VISAL project will also help European VI organisations face the challenge of an ageing population by providing them with an adapted learning opportunity for their elderly members to be included within their service provision strategy.
Who will implement VISAL?
The project was designed and will be conducted by the European Blind Union and will involve six other partners: Age UK (experts in social inclusion for elderly persons), the Austrian Federation of the Blind and Partially Sighted, the Slovak Blind and Partially Sighted Union, the Croatian Association of the Blind, the Royal National Institute of Blind people (UK) and Royal Dutch Visio, a service provider specialised in visual impairment.
Project duration:
24 months from 1/11/2012 to 31/10/2014.

Picture: Hugh Hefner Celebrities arrive to watch the Los Angeles Lakers game against the Denver Nuggets at the Staples Centre Los Angeles, California - 27.05.09
Playboy boss Hugh Hefner is set for an extra special gift this Christmas (09) - he'll be named godfather to his ex-girlfriend Kendra Wilkinson's baby.
Hefner was the first person the former Playboy model called when she realised she was expecting fiance Hank Baskett's baby 12 weeks ago - and the magazine mogul wept with joy.
Wilkinson tells Eonline.com, "He was like, 'Oh my god!' and then he cried... Hef will be the godfather."
The model, who is expecting her first child on Christmas Day (25Dec09), admits the early stages of pregnancy have been tough for her: "I've thrown up in almost every limo that has taken me out in the last week."
And she tells blogger Marc Malkin she won't be taking any risks in the delivery room: "I'm getting an epidural, everything they can give me. That's the one thing I'm nervous about the most.... I have visions of my vagina tearing, and that sucks."
Wilkinson will wed Baskett at the Playboy Mansion later this month (Jun09).

Agile software development methodologies are almost the same but they are different in terms of their terminology, practices, tactics and implementation standpoint. Agile methodologies follow lean and flexible approach as per the requirement. The various kind of methodologies being used are Scrum, lean and kanban software development, Extreme Programming(XP), Crystal, DSDM, FDD etc. To know more about these methodologies log on to:

Agile Software Development Methodologies
Agile Software Development At QAIT DevLabs
At QAIT DevLabs, we follow Agile development methodologies in all our software engineering efforts. We have adapted our agile practices in a way that best suits building products from scratch as well re-building or sustaining existing software products. Read further to know how our practices bring into play the below principles from the Agile Manifesto.
Implementing Agile Manifesto
"Satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable Software. Deliver working Software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference for the shorter timescale"
Every project starts with a master planning that determines high level features for the product, best estimates and mapping/splitting them into small releasable chunks. These chunks are short development/QA efforts labeled as a Sprint. Typically we prefer a 2 week Sprint schedule. Every Sprint starts with a planning meeting that outlines a clear path to achieve the deliverables over the duration of the Sprint. Meticulous planning taking into account backlogs, and expecting unknowns along with daily tracking ensures that we never deviate from the plan.

Hope to see you on the interwebs!
Orders will close at midnight AEST (which is +10 on your international clocks) on the 27th of July 2013. I'm really sorry but I will not be taking orders after this time.
So another thing I love to do is photography, so much so that I have a little side business called Random Hat Photography. Today I got to take pictures for a friend of mine for her wedding, which was very exciting. Lanyon Homestead in Canberra was our backdrop and the rain held off long enough for us to get some gorgeous shots. Here's a sneak peek (isn't she gorgeous!?) -
So I've got an editor lined up to go over my first book - woohoo! This genuinely the coolest thing ever to have someone who is not a friend or family member go over my manuscript. It's both amazing and terrifying at the same time.
All this excitement has been the best motivation and so far I'm passed 21,000 words on the sequel to The Order of the Rose. I've managed to belt out at least 1500 words a day so I'm hoping to keep that up. My goal is to get this one finished my the end of the year. There - I said it. It's out there. I now have an even bigger motivation not to fail. It's going to be one full-on year!!

In spite of its limited functionality and no-frills design, the Pebble showed tremendous promise when it launched last year. But this week at CES, the Kickstarter-borne smartwatch received a much-needed premium redesign with the Pebble Steel. With a new brushed aluminum shell and wristband, as well as a high-quality Corning Gorilla Glass display, the new Pebble Steel gives the smartwatch a significant upgrade over the original that is certain to legitimize and broaden its appeal beyond the existing crowd of techies and early adopters. Whereas the original Pebble looked like a heartrate monitor or some other form of fitness companion, the Pebble Steel looks and feels more like a luxury timepiece.
I got a chance to see and use the new model first-hand this afternoon, and the design and build quality is impressive — especially for crowd-funded startup that launched its first product just a year ago. It's clear the company put a lot of thought into the design with small, useful features like a quick-release watch band and a three-pronged band mount that offers improved durability. It's by no means the coolest watch design around, but it does look great.
But ultimately, I'm less excited about the Steel than I am about what it and the original can do with Pebble's new app store.
Though somewhat overshadowed by the Steel itself, Pebble also introduced new software and an overhauled mobile app that significantly expands the smartwatch's functionality. Instead of acting as a mere window for notifications, the Pebble is now capable of running apps of its own. Built into the new Pebble app for iOS or Android, the app store allows users to install and sync apps to their Pebble, like ESPN, Yelp, and others. Now, instead of just displaying a notification from an app installed on your phone that tells you that your favorite team just won a game, the ESPN app for Pebble will run natively on your smartwatch and allow you to scroll through the latest scores from ongoing games on your wrist. Yelp, on the other hand, will use location data to show listings for highly rated nearby restaurants. You can even find your location and check in on Four Square without ever touching your phone. Another app, Pebble Cam, can be used to control your iPhone's camera, complete with a live viewfinder on the Pebble's screen.
What's most exciting about the new software is that the Pebble is gaining a lot of native software capability of competing devices like the Galaxy Gear without requiring the added bulk and battery drain of powerful onboard processing.
Competition within the wearable technology space is heating up this year, but with a sleek new design and expanded software, the Pebble is likely to remain one of the top players in the space.
