Microsoft: You Must Beat These 3 Risks
Chris is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Where is Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) headed? In my recent post "Audacious Goals Will Thrust Microsoft Higher," I uncovered businesses that could point Microsoft towards gains in 2013. This post, in contrast, covers Microsoft's risks.
Below are three competitive risks that Microsoft must address in the coming year.
1. Potentially Low Windows 8 Market Share
The success of Microsoft's new mobile Windows 8 operating system rests on the shaky shoulders of an unlikely candidate – Nokia (NYSE: NOK). Once the leader in handset-making, Nokia's business took a major hit. Users relegated Nokia's Symbian operating system to technical obsolescence, and rising costs plagued the international company, leading to layoffs.
Luckily for Microsoft, Nokia has been busy inking deals and hyping its new Lumia phones. For example, Nokia signed an exclusive deal with Verizon (NYSE: VZ) to carry its Lumia 822 phone. I wrote about this in "Say Your Prayers, Nokia."
The deal is a good one for Microsoft's mobile software, because it gives Nokia a partnership with the carrier that added 1.5 million net new subscribers last quarter. AT&T, in contrast, added just one-tenth as many net new customers as Verizon. While Nokia already has phones for carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile, Nokia's deal with Verizon puts its sleek $99 phone (with a two-year contract) in front of a host of new subscribers.
Microsoft needs Nokia as badly as Nokia needs Microsoft. I am expecting their partnership to lift the mobile aspirations of both companies. But a Nokia failure would likely dash Microsoft's mobile dreams.
2. Server-Side Problems
IBM (NYSE: IBM) and Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) are undisputed leaders in server-side products and services. IBM and Oracle are vertically integrated and offer customers unique hardware that comes pre-installed with their own varieties of the UNIX operating system. According to Microsoft's Annual Report:
The competitive position of Linux has also benefited from the large number of compatible applications now produced by many commercial and non-commercial software developers.
In short, by not catering to the specific Linux products that many customers demand, Microsoft could lose from the get-go.
Also, as the commercial world continues to move to the cloud, Microsoft faces fierce competition from a host of other companies, in addition to IBM and Oracle. Companies like Amazon, VMWare, and Salesforce.com offer compelling products, and Microsoft's SQL Azure also faces competition from open-source (free but not customized) products.
To succeed in the highly competitive cloud and server spaces, Microsoft will have to cross-sell its IT products and create compelling offers for the many niche businesses that need them.
3. Continued Innovation
According to Microsoft's 2012 Annual Report:
Our model for growth is based on our ability to initiate and embrace disruptive technology trends, to enter new markets, both in terms of geographies and product areas, and to drive broad adoption of the products and services we develop and market.
Microsoft is adept at launching products and services across the globe. The last risk is one that investors cannot forecast: when disruptive technology forces Microsoft to pivot its strategies, will executives steer the company with agility?
For example, Microsoft missed the tablet market by a couple of years. However, one must ask if the company missed an opportunity to grab market share early, or if it was smart to wait and compete with the new entrants instead of trying to take on Apple head-to-head.
This final question of Microsoft's ability to spot future business models and tech shifts is one that investors must ask themselves before committing to Microsoft over the long-term. Can Microsoft executives spot upcoming tech trends and capitalize early? No one can tell for sure. But as it looks now, Microsoft's broad array of tech businesses, despite their risks, are deeply entrenched and are here to stay.

When a total joint replacement is too much, but conservative treatments—such as anti-inflammatory medications, cortisone injections, and strengthening exercises—aren't quite enough, an arthroscopic-assisted partial knee replacement might be just right!
Nathan Cohen, MD, an orthopedic surgeon on staff at Lake Charles Memorial Hospital, is the first in North America—and the second worldwide—to utilize a HemiCAP® Implant to repair damaged knee joints. The minimally invasive procedure entails a smaller incision, faster recovery, and the removal of only the damaged cartilage, much as a dentist would fill a cavity.
The implant—a metal-and-plastic component—comes in a variety of sizes that can be individually fitted to the patient.
"There is a significant patient population with joint disease and damage who has failed early treatment therapies, such as physical therapy, pain medication, arthroscopy, and other surgical procedures, yet continues to experience chronic pain and reduced activity levels," Dr. Cohen explained. "This underserved population tends to be comprised of relatively young and physically active patients who are seeking therapies that can help them maintain their active lifestyles.
"This new partial knee replacement is ideally suited for these younger, more active patients."
For more information on knee, shoulder or hip repair or replacement, or to schedule an appointment with Dr. Cohen, call Orthopaedic Specialists at (337) 494-4900.

July 17, 2013, 9:20 PM — Upcoming Atom chips from Intel will appear in tablets priced as low as US$150, the company's CEO said Wednesday, vowing that Intel will not get caught flat footed again by "the next big thing."
Intel's low-power Atom chips are vital to its plans to recover ground in the mobile PC market, where sales of traditional laptops are falling and Intel has largely ceded the tablet space to rivals like Samsung Electronics and Qualcomm.
Speaking on his first quarterly earnings call for Intel on Wednesday, new CEO Brian Krzanich acknowledged Intel's missteps and said it can't afford to be caught off guard again.
"We've not always lived up to the standard we've set for ourselves," Krzanich said, admitting that Intel was "slow to respond" to the tablet market. There will always be "another big thing," he said, and Intel must be constantly "scanning" for it.
In the meantime, it's betting on two mobile versions of Atom to help it recover lost ground. One is Bay Trail, which will appear in touch-screen hybrid and tablet PCs in the second half of this year, at price points Intel hasn't been able to reach before, according to Krzanich .
Bay Trail will be offered in tablets priced at "$199 and below," Krzanich said. "Some you'll see even lower -- $150, and below that, as we go through the holiday season," he said. It wasn't clear if the cheapest tablets will ship in North America and Europe, however, or only in developing markets like China.
The other important Atom chip for mobile is Merryfield, designed to give Intel a bigger foothold in the smartphone market. Merryfield will ship by the end of the year, Krzanich said -- sooner than an Intel executive suggested back at the Computex trade show in June, though an Intel spokeswoman said Wednesday there has been no change in plans.
The need for chips that consume less power means that Intel's Atom processors, originally developed for netbooks, are an increasingly vital part of its business. The upcoming Atom chips are based on its new Silvermont core, which can run both Windows and Android OSes. There's even an Atom processor for servers, designed to compete with low-power Arm-based servers like those being developed by Advanced Micro Devices.
Intel will start to move Atom more rapidly to its newest manufacturing processes, and treat it as an equal to its more traditional Core architecture, used in PCs and servers, Krzanich said. The newer manufacturing processes produce faster transistors that use less power.

Men and women who need hearing aids often feel they can't afford them, and that's not surprising. Prices for a hearing aid range from $1,200 for a low-end device to $3,700 for a high-end one — and 80 percent of wearers need two. Battery costs are $50 to $100 per year. A survey by Consumer Reports found that 40 percent of those who bargained got a price break. Other than that, there is some limited help available:
See also: Save on health expenses.
Medical flexible spending accounts. For those with these accounts, the cost of a hearing aid and batteries is considered reimbursable.
Medicare and Medicaid. Hearing aids and most hearing tests are not covered by Medicare. Medicaid often covers hearing aids, but each state's requirements differ. The Hearing Loss Association of America's website has information by state.
Veteran benefits. Vets get hearing aids if their hearing loss is connected to their military service or linked to a medical condition treated at a VA hospital. Veterans also can get devices through the VA if their hearing loss is severe enough to interfere with activities of daily life.
Federal employee assistance. Federal employees and their families are entitled to coverage through some insurance plans. Health plans pay for a basic hearing aid, and employees pay for extras and upgrades themselves.
Nonprofits. Sertoma helps people with hearing problems and runs a hearing aid recycling program through its 500 clubs (sertoma.org, 1-800-593-5646). HEAR Now, sponsored by the Starkey Hearing Foundation, provides hearing aids for people with limited income. Clients pay for evaluations and a fee of $125 per aid.
Private insurers. Few private insurance companies cover hearing aids, but three states — New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Arkansas — require that insurers provide coverage for adults. New Hampshire insurance companies are required to cover the cost of no less than $1,500 per hearing aid once every five years. Rhode Island requires individual and group insurance policies to provide $700 coverage per individual hearing aid every three years for those over age 19. And in Arkansas, insurance companies are required to offer coverage to employers in the state. If a company takes advantage of this, the health plan must provide coverage of no less than $1,400 per ear every three years.
More info: The National Institute on Deafness and the Better Hearing Institute (1-800-327-9355) have information on groups offering financial assistance for hearing aids.

I had to write a short essay (approx. 200 words) about advertising, but I'm sure that it has some mistakes. I would be most grateful if somebody helped me :)
As many of you are currently studying advertising or marketing, my views on this topic might attract your attention. Advertising is carried
onin a great variety of ways through the media, in the streets or in the shops themselves. A new form of advertising called direct advertising appeared. Brochures, leaflets flood people's home advertising what is on sale in different shops and supermarkets. Not only can we see advertisements in the street, but we can see advertisements on the Internet as well. If we visit a website, a banner pops up advertising either another website or various products.
Advertising with all its cheating techniques and gimmicks help to hoodwink the public into buying even substandard goods. Apart from that, there are certain advertisements which are not meant to be viewed by children, for instance: smoking and alcohol advertisements. These advertisements have led people to the question whether viewing advertisements
adverselyinfluences children adversely, and if so, what might be done in this case. I firmly believe that these advertisements should be banned.
However, there are also funny and humorous advertisements which everybody like.
To sum up, advertisements, however peculiar it may sound at first, play a very important role in our lives. (To me, this sentence seems to be an empty one perhaps you could specify your opinion about what is peculiar and why advertisements play an important role to you?
That's all:P I would be very happy I you gave me some tips to improve my writing skills. Thanks in advance:)

I visited Dr. Craig Atwood at his Laboratory of Endocrinology, Aging and Disease at the William S. Middleton Memorial Veterans Hospital in Madison, Wisconsin last week. To get to Dr. Atwood's office, I navigated through the hospital's maze of dark hallways and waiting rooms filled with American flags, flickering televisions and mostly older male patients. It seemed an unlikely setting for a discussion of Dr. Atwood's paper "Living and Dying for Sex: A Theory of Aging Based on the Modulation of Cell Cycle Signaling by Reproductive Hormones."
Co-authored by Dr. Richard Bowen of Voyager Pharmaceutical Corporation, "Living and Dying for Sex" was published in Gerontology in 2004. The paper lays out a new theory on aging, along with supporting data. I wanted to talk with Dr. Atwood because he believes this theory is relevant to the cerebral amyloid angiopathy and Alzheimer's that caused Dad's dementia and death.
An endocrinologist by training, Dr. Atwood is now Research Director of the Wisconsin Alzheimer's Institute at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. Many Alzheimer's researchers focus on the pathology of the brain, including the plaques and tangles that are part of the official diagnosis of Alzheimer's. But as an endocrinologist, Dr. Atwood studies hormones, the glands that produce them, and their role in the body. Maybe this is why he sees things a little differently.
"This all started when a patient mentioned to Dr. Bowen that her husband's Alzheimer's disease hadn't worsened after he was placed on leuprolide acetate for the treatment of his prostate cancer," Dr. Atwood explained. "Leuprolide acetate decreases the levels of reproductive hormones in the blood. This, along with similar anecdotal reports, led us to focus on the hormones that regulate reproduction, including estrogen, testosterone, luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone, as possible factors in Alzheimer's disease."
Craig S. Atwood, Ph.D.
"Throughout our reproductive lives, our reproductive hormones are in balance, but at mid-life (during menopause in women and andropause in men), the levels and balance of these hormones change," Dr. Atwood continued. "Estrogen and testosterone levels go down, and we know from previously published research that levles of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone go up during this time. We think that as estrogen and testosterone levels decrease, the pituitary gland increases production of these other hormones in an attempt to maintain fertility. This attempt to maintain fertility is good for the species, of course, but we think it's bad for the individual. It effectively removes post-reproductive individuals from the population."
Why might these normal hormone changes have been bad for my father or for any other "post-reproductive individual"? "The answer lies in the cell cycle," Dr. Atwood said, pointing to a poster about the cycle on his office wall. Cell division allows an organism to grow, and to repair and renew tissue. The process in which the chromosomes in a cell are replicated and the cell divides into two new cells is called the cell cycle.
In adults, brain cells or neurons don't normally go through the cell cycle. This may be because they develop extensions called axons and dendrites for transmitting information to other brain cells. Dr. Atwood explained that if you think of these axons and dendrites as hardwired into the brain's network, you can see that cell division would greatly disrupt brain function.
But in the 1990's, researchers found evidence that Alzheimer's patients' brain cells had been trying to replicate their chromosomes and divide. It may be this misguided attempt to re-enter the cell cycle that is causing the cells to die. Scientists don't know for sure why these brain cells are trying to divide, or exactly how the attempted division could cause cell death.
Given that a drug suppressing the reproductive hormones seemed to halt the progression of Alzhiemer's disease in some patients, Dr. Atwood theorized that imblanced or dysregulated reproductive hormones are somehow involved in signaling brain cells to divide. There are a lot of luteinizing hormone receptors in human brains, and researchers have found the same receptors in areas of rats' brains that correspond to the parts of the human brain typically affected by Alzheimer's. These observations indicate that luteinizing hormone could play a role in signaling those brain cells to divide.
To sum it all up, Drs. Atwood and Bowen think that mid-life changes in sex hormones signal normally stable neurons, or brain cells, to divide. According to their theory, the neurons' attempts to replicate chromosomes and divide goes awry somehow, resulting in cell death. This could be the underlying cause of Alzheimer's and similar diseases.
Research is underway in Dr. Atwood's lab to test this theory, and to develop Alzheimer's treatments based on these findings. He and his colleagues have already shown that leuprolide improves memory and decreases beta amyloid deposits in mice bred to have Alzheimer's disease. In addition to these efforts in the lab, Voyager Pharmaceutical Corporation is recruiting patients in the United States, Canada and South America for a Phase III trial of leuprolide acetate in 555 patients with mild or moderate Alzheimer's disease.
In future posts, I'll try to summarize how Dr. Atwood's theory may explain aging in general, and why he believes the beta amyloid protein deposits seen in Alzheimer's and cerebral amyloid angiopathy are protective, not harmful.

You're absolutely right. Most home networks have a 10/100 switch incorporated with the router. Anymore, it is not uncommon to see even gigabit ethernet switches with home routers. Wireless speeds are based upon what 802.11 standard they adhere to. My router only supports 802.11 b/g; and the highest speed I can achieve is 54 Mbps with the g network. More modern routers support 802.11 b/g/n, and can achieve a data rate of about 300 Mbps.
Since my router supports speeds of up to 54 Mbps, I had assumed that each device on the network could achieve the speed my ISP delievers (30 Mbps). This, however, is incorrect. The total bandwidth of the network is 54 Mbps -- that includes download speeds for each connected device, as well as their upload speeds.
The solution to my problem would be to purchase a new router-- one that supports wireless-n speeds.

It also depends on the distance between the router and your laptop, if there is a long distance, you may need one more wifi repeater to strengthen the signal.

My soul is yield to depression
no hope just more and more oppression
the mood of time have change
and yet my soul have failed to start on a new page
my lost soul struggling to rearrange
nature as come with a surprise
yet my faith haven't awake to the bright sunrise
will I overcome this stress?
or remain with this cruel mess
darkness have taken over
the misery of life in shallow
with my soul fighting to be free
from this shadow
a life much worst than a sorrowful widow.

I'm working on a few things that probably won't get done, so here's some brief tidbits to hold you over until Monday.
When it comes to Kristi Gustafson and I, we just can't let it go.
What's "it," you ask? I have no Earthly idea. Seriously, I'm at a loss as to what the problem is. It's super weird. For the longest time I just ignored it, but that's BORING.
Anyway, here's the culmination of our latest "incident," if you can even call it that. Maybe she's just bothered by people who are far too amused with themselves, which I totally am. I mean, this is evidence of it right here.
Anyway, I always look forward to these bi-monthly exchanges of passive-aggressiveness. It's sort of like a tradition. See you in March, Kristi! Shall we make it Facebook this time?
Controversy erupted yesterday when the twitter account for designer Kenneth Cole tweeted the following:
Taking advantage of the chaos in Cairo to deliver a bad joke and sell product? Man, that's dumb. It's even worse than when Wendy's used the Manson Family murders to promote their Sharon Tater Salad.
Random Thing That Makes Me Unmanly: I'm far more excited for Turner Classic Movies' "31 Days of Oscar" than I am The Super Bowl.
I do, however, appreciate the working class aspect of the two teams involved, particularly that both are named after prominent industries in their respective cities: the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
I think it'd be great if all teams did that. In fact, I might start a local sports league and make it a requirement that all teams participating do just that. Be on the lookout for the Cohoes Paper Rollers, the Delmar State Workers, the Troy Election Riggers, the Schenectady Drunkcops, and the Albany Menacing Guys at the Bus Stop!
Speaking of terrible commercials, has anyone seen that one for Kay Jewelers where the military guy is skyping with his wife and refers to his eight-year-old son as his "wing man"? Is anybody else creeped out by the implication there? What happens if the parents split up, is he going to take his son out to help him meet women?
"Man, I am knee deep in it! SOOOO getting laid tonight. Thanks, son." *hair rustle*
UFC 126 is this weekend.
My picks are as follows: Miguel Torres over Antonio Banuelos, Jon Jones over Ryan Bader, Jake Ellenberger over Carlos Eduardo Rocha, Forrest Griffin over Rich Franklin, and Anderson Silva over Vitor Belfort.
On the undercard I got Cerrone, Mendes, and Yamamoto. And if Yamamoto doesn't win and do so in convincing fashion, then as far as I'm concerned he's done in this sport. Seriously.
See you next week, buckos.

"I think it'd be great if all teams did that. In fact, I might start a local sports league and make it a requirement that all teams participating do just that. Be on the lookout for the SCHENECTADY DRUNKCOPS…"

yep, Kev and maybe half the rest of the world population.

I'm adding to my HDR collection of "just a bit different" views of the lighthouses on the Outer Banks of North Carolina with this sample from Cape Hatteras. My lens of choice for this shot was a 20-35mm zoom which is obviously very flare prone when pointed at the sun. All those elements seem to enjoy refracting and reflecting. This one seems to have an artistic flare to it. Pun intended!
I used seven exposures, ev -3 to +3, to get as much detail as possible. Very little was needed in Nik HDR Efex Pro to produce this final image. And the only thing needed in Adobe Photoshop was just a little dust spotting. Yes, my sensor was dirty that day from lots of lens changes. Love that Clone Stamp tool.
Equipment used: Nikon D700 with 28-70mm f/2.8 lens set to f/22, ISO 800. Manfrotto 190XPROB with 486RC2 ball head.
I've included one of my Bodie Island Lighthouse shots from a while back. Bodie is not quite as picturesque but still worth visiting if you ever happen to find yourself on the Outer Banks.
I'll be adding to this series as I have the opportunities to visit the lighthouses. Only a few more to go!

The 5-Minute Desk Workout
The 5-Minute Desk Workout
Sadie Lincoln of Barre3 shows you how to get a quick 5-minute workout in at your desk.
Hi, Fitness Magazine readers. I'm Sadie Lincoln, founder of Barre3 and I develop this workout you can do right at your desks. So, let's get started in Sumo Squats. We're gonna bring our feet at 1 and 11 o'clock and then push the hips back as if you're sitting in your chair. Lift your low belly and reach your arms forward. From here we'll stand tall and push the arms behind us a little faster. So, push back and lift, push back and lift. This is a very quick, efficient, functional exercise you can do throughout your day. Just simply stand up and then sit back down using your quads here, keeping the knees over the ankles, using the glutes as you stand up. And you can really work the upper body as well just by hugging all the muscles in and resisting against gravity as you push your arms behind you. So, just four more here. Three, two, last one. Come up to your desk and we're gonna bring that leg behind us and lean the top of foot on to your chair. Your front knee will bend right over the ankle. See if you can square your hips, pull the waste in. So, if this too much on that hip flexor because you're definitely are gonna get nice and open through this thigh, you can always lean forward and dig more weight into that front heel. So, as you get more open and long and lean in that front thigh, you'll be able to get the shoulders over the hips, you're already working. This is a burner. From here we're gonna add on one in. So, you're just gonna drop down and lift. Imagine that backseat, the leg with the bent knees sitting back towards the chair behind you. This is sitting back in engagement of the basically seat. It's gonna give you that nice lift. So, we're always working to wake up the seat muscles which get weak from all of the sitting we do. That's why this is such a great workout to do during your busy day at work, at the computer or maybe pouring over your books as a student, you can stand up and do this. And now that you're doing your body good, you're clearing your mind, you're burning calories, shaping your body, it's a good, efficient Barre3 posture, one of our client's favorites. So, take it back and lift. Back and lift. Just four more here, three more, two more, last one. Hold and stand. Let's go back to our Sumo Squats. Squash it out. So bring these legs nice and right, stick to seat back, reach your arms forward and lift that. Press back and lift, press back and lift. Now, if you want, you can speed this up even faster. Heart rates coming up. This is low impact, you don't have to jump or do extreme training to get the body you want. Just use highly efficient, one of our launches at Barre3 is to work smarter, not necessarily harder. Just remember this. Maybe you can set your alarm on your phone and stand up once in a while during your work day and simply bust out a few of these. You'll be amazed at how fast your heart elevates and how fast your legs look nice and shapely and your mind clears, which we can all use during those long days at the office, long days in front of e-mail. Okay, just four more, three, two, last one. Let's work the other side. So, we're gonna come forward. Bring your other foot back, top of the foot to the chair. Bend that front knee over the ankle and scoop the belly. Square the hips, shoulders over the hips. Remember you can always lean forward if you need to or lift up as we open the front hip flexor. I love this posture because it really represents what Barre3 is all about, body balance. We're working the back of the seat, we're working the back line of the body as we open and work the front line of the body. So, perfect body balance. Front body and back body. It also is athletic. It's a lunge and graceful. So, you're getting that long lean dancers line in your body while you get challenged like an athlete. And it doesn't require any jumping. It doesn't require even wearing workout gear. You can do this in your street clothes. Shoulders on your back, pull your waste in. Just three more, two more, last one. Okay, we're gonna finish with a bang here and power leg. Bring your feet hip distance and lift your heels above the floor. So, you'll see my heels are nice and elevated. Dry your back down in imaginary wall and hold. Take a good deep breath and enjoy. I don't know if you're really enjoying this. It's sort of a love-hate for many of us, this power leg posture. Power leg gets you deep into the quads, taxes the muscles quickly similar to the feeling after a long run but quick, low impact and something you can do any day, anytime. It's the Barre3 way. Let's add a little inch. So, we'll just do ten of these and then we move on for our final stretch. You're welcome to do more than ten by all means. Just five more, four more, lift tall, let's get that nice posture. Just two more. Last one. Okay. We deserve to stretch and it's a good one to do to open up an counter the office lump. So, lift your chest, bring your hands to your chair, inhale as you do a gentle back bend, and then exhale, scoop and push it away. And sit up tall. Nice work.

"Two years of bombs and shells. A man won't peel that off like a sock.... The war has ruined us for everything.... We fly from ourselves, from our life. We were eighteen and had begun to love life and the world; and we had to shoot it to pieces. The first bomb, the first explosion, burst in our hearts. We are cut off from activity, from striving, from progress. We believe in such things no longer, we believe in the war." ---- Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet On The Western Front, Ch. 5 (1929)
"When war is waged it is for the purpose of safeguarding or increasing one's capacity to make war. International politics are wholly involved in this vicious cycle. What is called national prestige consists in behaving always in such a way as to demoralize other nations by giving them the impression that, if it comes to war, one would certainly defeat them. What is called national security is an imaginary state of affairs in which one would retain the capacity to make war while depriving all other countries of it." ---- Simone Weil, The Power of Words, p. 224. (1937)
"War is what happens when language fails." ---- Margaret Atwood, The Robber Bride, Ch. 6 (1993)
History renders few simple lessons or clear conclusions, but I am convinced of one, clearly illustrated by the recent "War on Terror": Violence only begets violence (not a very original conclusion, but many in our age do not seem to agree with it).

"The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness." ---- Joseph Conrad, Under Western Eyes, part II, chapter 4 (1911)

Donald Trump asks
I actually go to college with a girl who argued that wind turbines kill birds and are bad. One of my friends then sent her a diagram of how many birds are killed by fracking, planes and cars. All killed more birds then wind turbines. Yet she still thinks we shouldn't allow wind turbines to be built. A few birds killed verse several hundred killed by oil, I'd pick wind turbines.

DLA to shed 40 jobs across UK offices
Readers' comments (3)
40 jobs? This is peanuts at a firm the size of DLA. At least with experience at a top firm there they'll have some chance of finding a job elsewhere, which is more than can be said for those losing their jobs from some of from these third division outfits
Peanuts your comments are outrageous. You don't know what you're talking about. I'd like to see you made redundant and try and find a new job in the current climate. I think you'll find that supposedly top brand doesn't cut as much mustard as you believe.
Top Law firm?

Guest Commentary by Dr. James L. Gulley
Devastation and Hope: An NCI Scientist's First-Hand Account of Japan's Resilience
As the horrifying events and aftermath of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami continue to unfold on our television and computer screens, it's difficult to imagine how any nation could recover from such calamities. But, based on what I personally witnessed, I have great hope for Japan's future.
As some may know, NCI has had a long and vibrant relationship with the Japanese cancer research community. At any given time, dozens of scientists and researchers from both countries trade places to collaborate on research projects, participate in training, or deliver lectures. My latest—and most memorable—lecture in Japan happened to fall on Friday, March 11.
I had been invited to take part in an international meeting in Japan that included a short presentation and discussion with some of the conference participants. The venue for this talk was the 11th floor of an office building in Kawasaki City, 30 minutes south of Tokyo by Metro train.
I was only about 10 minutes into the lecture when, at 2:46 p.m. local time, the earthquake hit. Having lived in southern California for 8 years, I was somewhat accustomed to earthquakes, but this was an experience that really had no precedent for me.
It started as a relatively mild tremor that became a slow steady crescendo, culminating in a cross between a rollercoaster with sharp turns and a very turbulent flight. The clear sway of the building felt like a tree being whipped by the winds of a hurricane. I was standing, but my more experienced hosts calmly directed me to sit down. After the shaking continued for about 20–30 seconds, they encouraged me to get under the conference room table.
One of my first thoughts was that, if I were to be in the vicinity of an earthquake, what better place than in a building designed by Japanese engineers and built to Japanese code. We nervously joked about developing motion sickness but earnestly hoped the quake would stop soon. My thoughts raced and questions swirled in my mind as I looked into the eyes of my colleagues. Where is the epicenter? How serious is this?
One thing was clear: This wasn't a routine earthquake.
As soon as the tremors stopped, we made our way in a single-file march down the 11 flights of stairs and out to a large courtyard. I couldn't help but be impressed by the complete order and clear preparedness of those around me.
Once gathered below, we didn't have to wait long for information. Although the electricity had been knocked out and cell phone service allowed only emergency calls to get through (an automatic measure to avoid overloading the system), text messaging was working, and the ubiquitous smart phones were getting information about the epicenter and magnitude of the quake from news sources.
Word arrived quickly that the danger was far from over and that a 6-meter tsunami was likely.
As someone with an interest in natural disasters, this bit of news concerned me much more than the earthquake itself because I knew buildings could be built to withstand even a mighty quake, but a 6-meter tsunami could be much more ruthless and devastating. Of course, it was numbing to hear moments later that the tsunami estimate had been increased to 10 meters.
Despite this warning, the "all clear" was given, and my colleagues and I filed back up to our 11th floor conference room and finished the lecture. Since the electricity was out, I presented on one laptop to the front of the room while those in the back of the room followed along on a separate laptop.
Our discussions were lively and somewhat nervous, given what we had just experienced. The exchanges were punctuated by dozens of aftershocks and announcements on the PA system that the power was out (as if we didn't know).
We ended our discussions at 6 p.m., still unaware of the full degree of devastation unfolding in the north. Clearly our plans to go out for dinner were going to be put on hold. Unfortunately, the quake had ended all train service. The normally efficient mass transit system ground to a halt while engineers inspected the rails. The sidewalks and streets were clogged with a torrent of people heading out to the suburbs.
My hotel was a 3-hour walk away and no taxis could be found. So my colleagues and I resolutely started our cold (40 degrees Fahrenheit) blustery (gusts up to 30 MPH) journey. I wished I had brought my hat. Our conversations soon drifted to relatives and friends who lived north of Tokyo. These conversations turned to small cheers when several were reached by texting.
Eventually, we were able to make it across the river into Tokyo and located a bus that would take us a bit closer to the town center. An hour or so later, we arrived at the home of Den, a prominent doctor in Tokyo and one of the meeting participants. Although he could have driven me to my hotel, Den and his wife Adair took into account the day's events and instead invited me for a home-cooked, vegetarian Japanese dinner.
Fortunately, by this time, cell phone service had been restored, and I was able to let my family know I was safe.
When we checked a GPS, we saw that all the roads into town were completely blocked. The seriousness of what had occurred began to settle in, although we still didn't fully comprehend the degree of the devastation. By this time, it was after 10 p.m. My hosts graciously invited me to stay with them, and I was able to sleep (despite intermittent sharp aftershocks) in their study.
Of course, it wasn't a surprise that my flight out the next day had been cancelled, but thankfully I was able to return home on Sunday, March 13. By that time, news about the lives lost, the extent of the destruction, and the uncertainty about the future began to emerge.
Looking back, I know that my experience pales when compared with what many Japanese citizens are going through. But I can't say enough about the resilience I witnessed, as well as the gracious concern and hospitality of my scientific colleagues. Even when they had relatives they couldn't contact, their first thought was to ensure the safety and well-being of those around them.
I am certain that this fortitude, along with the help and support of countries around the world, will sustain the nation of Japan and its residents in the difficult months and years to come.

The Jolly Roger flag flies above a tall ship.
In a true free-trade market it can be very hard to own the idea you've worked so hard to build into a product. Without regulation, if another party can use your idea they have every right to do so—and by any means necessary. One such practice, called "privateering," is coming under closer scrutiny in a government meeting today.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office is discussing the practice of businesses hiring other businesses to plunder the competition.
These modern day pirates acquire intellectual property from friendly companies and then do the bidding of those companies against competitors, with an agreement to share whatever winnings might be awarded.
It's a nice tidy way to reap patent awards without all the negative press that comes from a lawsuit.
So, for example, if over the next couple of months or years you see a headline that reads Unwired Planet Inc. sues Google, or Apple, or Samsung for patent infringement, remember this article. Because according to the same Bloomberg report, just yesterday Unwired, a Nevada-based licensing company said Ericsson sold it over 2,000 phone-related patents in return for "certain ongoing rights in future revenues."
So although the headline might say Unwired is doing the suing, it would actually be Ericsson who benefited.
The meeting today at the U.S. patent office will address what the report called disclosure of the "real party of interest," in similar intellectual property suits.
In other words the Jolly Roger skull and crossbones flag might have to come down in place of the flag of the company which actually hired these modern day pirates to do their bidding.

UNDATED (WSAU) Wisconsin dairy cows were extremely busy during the holidays, as the state's milk production rose by a sizable five-and-a-half percent compared to a year ago. Officials said the Badger State made just over 2.3-billion pounds of milk in December while California – the nation's leading milk producer – had a 2.3-percent drop to 3.4-billion pounds.
Wisconsin's increase was almost three-and-a-half times the national jump of 1.6-percent. U-S dairy farms made almost 17-billion pounds of milk last month. All but just over a billion pounds were produced in the 23 major dairy states, where production rose 1.7-percent from a year ago.
Wisconsin, the nation's number-two milk state, add 5,000 cows to a herd that now totals just over one-and-a-quarter million. Production per cow rose by 90 pounds, to 1,845. Meanwhile, California state officials have granted a temporary payment price for that state's milk from February through May. Golden State producers have been calling for a higher pay price, after feed prices began to skyrocket last summer.

To the Editor: In their otherwise very thoughtful article (1), John O. Beahrs, M.D., and Thomas G. Gutheil, M.D., used the terms "medical" or "medicalized" as necessary parts of their definition of psychotherapy in at least three instances. In the first paragraph, they stated, "It [psychotherapy] stands apart from everyday discourse by the extent to which it is defined as a procedure, i.e., medicalized" (p. 4). They then stated, "It has been ratified as a medical procedure by scientific texts, third-party payers, and the law" (p. 4). To imply that the practice of psychotherapy is somehow the exclusive domain of physicians, which is my interpretation of the quoted statements, is gratuitous and insulting to our nonmedical colleagues.
This interpretation simply is not true. Our community has, as have most others, qualified and talented clinical psychologists, psychiatric social workers, and other mental health professionals who are trained in, and excellent practitioners of, the set of procedures collectively known as psychotherapy. Scientific texts about how to practice psychotherapy and how to measure its effectiveness often include nonmedical practitioners; see the works of Carl Rogers and Lester Luborsky. Third-party payers seem to go out of their way not to pay psychiatrists to do psychotherapy, but they often will pay for treatment by nonmedical practitioners. California law recognizes the psychotherapist-patient (or "client") privilege without stating that the psychotherapist has to be a physician. Physicians have no corner on that particular market and no claim of exclusivity to that piece of turf. The issue of informed consent in psychotherapy is just as germane to nonmedical practitioners of psychotherapy as it is to those with medical degrees. Indeed, the opening of our psychoanalytic training institutes to nonphysicians in recent years guarantees that large numbers of nonphysician psychotherapists will be receiving training at its highest level in the future (something that is, unfortunately, disappearing from many psychiatric residencies, which are now turning out some graduates whose training in psychotherapy is woefully deficient).
Had the authors confined themselves to who should be allowed to practice the procedures known collectively as "psychopharmacology" I would have no quarrel with them. Medical training is indeed a necessary prerequisite for the intelligent practice of psychopharmacology, and even here the issue of informed consent requires the kind of analytical thinking that Drs. Beahrs and Gutheil can furnish us.
I hope to see further articles by the authors on this topic, but I hope that they will be written in a more ecumenical spirit, so that they can be read without invidious implication by all who are engaged in the practice of psychotherapy.

It's a tough decision for Texas lawmakers to decide which group of state law enforcement workers should get a higher pay raise.
News Channel 25 asked Senator Tommy Williams, head of the Finance Committee, why legislators decided Troopers should get a higher pay raise than Correctional Officers. The reason? Troopers have a higher percentage of vacant positions than prison guards.
"We have more vacancies in Troopers than we do in our Correctional Officers," Williams said.
State Troopers have 1,876 positions statewide, and 450 vacant positions. That leaves 23% vacancy. Correctional Officers have 26,046 positions statewide, and 2,850 vacant positions. That leaves 10% vacancy.
"What we found out was these officers after we train them, they were being hired away by other cities who all paid more," said Williams.
This isn't any different from a prison guard who goes elsewhere for more money.
"I would say that the entry level requirements are not nearly demanding they are, to be a state trooper," said Williams. "We appreciate them both and they are important, but they are different jobs."
Both jobs are hard, demanding and they put their lives on the line everyday.
"I would say that there's not a tougher job anywhere than being a Trooper," Williams said.
Lance Lowry is a Correctional Officer and President of AFSCME Union at Huntsville Unit, and he sees prison guards dealing with a lot.
"It's a toll," Lowry said." I think the largest killer is stress. The average Correctional Officer that lives the longest age is 58-years-old."
Lowry claims Correctional Officers have some of the highest post traumatic stress out of any occupation.
The announcement of a 5% pay raise for Correctional Officers came as a shock to them. While a 20% raise went to Troopers.
"It's pretty much brought the morale down," Lowery said. "This isn't anything what employees were expecting in light of the fact we are one of the lowest paid state correctional employees in the United States."
Correctional Officers are already leaving in the thousands every year. Which will leave state prisons to wonder, who will be left to run them?

The new minister for civil society will have to decide what he thinks about chuggers and telephone fundraising, says Ian Allsop.
Carolyn Sims, head of banking at our banking partner Charity Bank, provides a guide to charity loans and explains why many charities find loan finance empowering.
Andrew Hind is concerned that the government's behaviour towards civil society organisations could threaten the voluntary sector's legacy from the First World War.
The sector's representative bodies must be bolder in telling the Charity Commission what they think of the proposed annual return reforms, says Dan Corry.
Last week the first social impact bond, at Peterborough prison, announced iinitial results. David Ainsworth examines the implications.
Perhaps the wider message for us all is that - if you ask for help at the 11th hour, you are already a few hours late!
A new way of calculating PPF levies for not-for-profit organisations is likely to save most charities money, says David Davison, but a few could be big losers.
Richard Caulfield was suspicious about the independence of Big Society Network way back in 2010.
The new £40m Sustainability Fund ought to allocate some money to expert intermediaries so they can help frontline charities to secure their future, says Amanda Tincknell.
The real shame of the Big Society Network saga is the hundreds of genuine, effective charities that missed out on funding, says Tania Mason.

Who Actually Listens to Ed Sheeran?
Our trainee musicologist Josh Haddow continues his studies into why certain people listen to certain types of music. This week, Ed Sheeran's fans are the research subject, and through using hard science and facts, Josh comes to some fascinating conclusions.
I'm sorry this was too funny not to share.
I honestly don't find this to be humorous in the slightest bit. It's just offensive.
Tiny bit offended.

Factor Analysis on Environmental Issues Generating the Declination of Students' Physical Quality
Students' physique issue has become very common in the whole society. The declination of students' physical quality is closely related with outside environment. The paper has found several natural environmental factors as well as social environmental factors causing the declination of students' physical quality by using environmental factor analysis. The natural environmental factors are air pollution, water pollution, solid pollution, and noise pollution. The social environmental factors are: too much junk food, undernutrition, increase of study pressure, lack of practices, high speed of urbanization, too much pressure of competition, lack of health concept, poor atmosphere for physical practice, students' interest and hobbies cannot be developed fully, and the declination of athletic ability.

Hanthorn among Flourish Award honorees
Former Atlanta Opera general director Dennis Hanthorn, who quietly parted ways last month with the organization he guided for eight years, will be one of those honored Sept. 28 with a Flourish Award presented by Kennesaw State University College of the Arts.

Watkins (arts educator), who has served as Lassiter High School director of bands since 1982; Pam Carsillo, retired Cobb County art educator (community service); and the Center for Puppetry Arts (arts organization).
In its fifth year, the $100-per-person luncheon (with higher sponsorships available) is expected to raise more than $100,000 to benefit KSU College of the Arts scholarships and student-learning initiatives.
It also will honor College of the Arts dean Joseph Meeks, who plans to retire next Februarycq, 2013 after 38 years at KSU, 14 of them as the college's founding dean. 770-499-3214, www.kennesaw.edu/arts/flourish_luncheon. HOWARD POUSNER
Quilt museum preview in Carrollton
Years in the planning, the Southeastern Quilt and Textile Museum in Carrollton draws closer to reality on Sept. 15 when it opens in a temporary location at 306 Bradley St.
That location, a converted 20-by-24-foot office space, is adjacent to the 10,000-square-foot red brick warehouse — formerly a textile mill — that eventually will house the museum's collection. Long range plans for the museum include extensive interpretive exhibits, classrooms and a gift shop.
At 10 a.m. Sept. 15 the museum will open its temporary quarters with the exhibition "Celebrating 25 Years," featuring some 40 works made by the West Georgia Quilt Guild, which has drawn quilters from Carroll, Haralson, Heard and Meriwether counties.

There are a number of labelling requirements for toys including the name and address of the manufacturer/importer, the type, batch, model or serial number, the CE mark, and warnings and instructions. Toys that are second-hand do not need to be labelled with the CE mark or the address of the manufacturer or distributor, but they must still be safe. The special warnings and instructions are required for both second-hand and new toys.
Trading standards officers enforce the legislation and can provide guidance on the safety of other products, such as prams, pushchairs, clothing, beds, bicycles and car seats.
In the guideThe legislationLabellingWarnings and instructionsSecond-hand toysYour responsibilitiesPenaltiesOther children's products
The legislationThe Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011 set out the legal requirements for the safety of new toys supplied by a business.
A toy is defined as: 'any product or material designed or intended (whether or not exclusively) for use in play by children of less than 14 years of age.'
LabellingAll new toys that you supply in the course of a business must be marked with:
The CE mark is a declaration by the manufacturer that the toy is safe.
These marks must be on the toy or its packaging and be permanent and easy to read.
On small toys these marks may be on:
Warnings and instructionsSome toys must come with warnings and instructions about precautions that need to be taken to ensure safe use. Special warnings are required as follows (and where specific instructions are required, you should seek further advice or refer directly to the Regulations):
Second-hand toysToys that are second-hand are covered by the General Product Safety Regulations 2005 - rather than the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011 - and as such do not need to be labelled with the CE mark or the address of the manufacturer or distributor, although they must still be safe. The special warnings and instructions (see above) are required for both second-hand and new toys.
You are advised to only sell second-hand toys that are CE marked, contain any relevant instructions or warnings and have been checked for any obvious faults.
Your responsibilitiesWhen you have reason to believe a toy is unsafe and presents a risk - for example, you receive a complaint that a toy has injured a child - you must:
Your trading standards service may request cooperation in relation to any action undertaken.
You must ensure that whilst a toy is under your responsibility the conditions under which it is stored or transported will not jeopardise the toy's safety.
Finally, for a period of 10 years, you must be able to identify the business that supplied you with the toy (in other words you need to keep invoices etc).
PenaltiesIf you sell toys that are incorrectly marked or unsafe or do not meet your responsibilities, you will be breaking the law and may be prosecuted. You could be fined up to £5,000 and imprisoned for up to six months.
Other children's productsTrading standards officers also enforce, and can provide guidance on, the safety of other products, such as prams, pushchairs, clothing, beds, bicycles and car seats. See also our leaflets 'Selling new and used prams and pushchairs' and 'Selling new nightwear'.
Please noteThis leaflet is not an authoritative interpretation of the law and is intended only for guidance. Any legislation referred to, while still current, may have been amended from the form in which it was originally enacted. Please contact us for further information.

La. Farm Bureau/Radio Network
October 9, 2013
Chesapeake Bay Watershed
Both the American Farm Bureau and the National Corn Growers Association plan to file appeals on the recent ruling which upheld the Environmental Protection Agency's Total Maximum Daily Load for the Chesapeake Bay watershed. That federal court decision gives the EPA wide latitude to dictate local land use and development decisions. AFBF seeks an appeal to preserve the primary role of states in setting land use policy and determining how to achieve water quality goals. The NCGA said it supports "the need to protect water quality but...don't support a wrongfully decided case when it has a profoundly negative impact on agricultural production and innovation."
NCBA Internships Available
The National Cattlemen's Beef Association is accepting applications for internships during the 2014 Cattle Industry Convention in Nashville February 3-7. The deadline to submit an application for one of the internships is October 27th. According to NCBA Public Policy Analyst Mallory Gaines the convention internship program provides "...an excellent opportunity to network with people throughout the beef industry." The annual Cattle Industry Convention boasts over 5,500 attendees and a trade show with more than 250 booths. Interns are offered a unique, behind-the-scenes experience of setting up the trade show, manning the NCBA Political Action Committee booth, assisting with the NCBA-PAC auction, helping members vote on NCBA policy, working with the media and helping guide producers to convention events. To apply, interested college juniors, seniors or graduate students should submit their application, college transcript, two letters of recommendation and a resume to email@example.com. More information and the internship application are available on the NCBA website.
Corn Scholarships Up For Grabs
The National Corn Growers Association and BASF Corporation will again award five $1,000 scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students pursuing a degree in an agriculture-related field during the 2014-15 school year.
"NCGA understands that to remain successful as an industry we must focus on education and keeping our best and brightest interested in ag," said Tom Haag, chairman of NCGA's Grower Services Action Team. "This program is an important component of NCGA's commitment to fostering youth in agriculture and to the future of our rural communities. It is an investment in not only their future but also our own.
Applicants for the NCGA William C. Berg Academic Excellence in Agriculture Scholarship Program must be entering at least their second undergraduate year or any year of graduate study, and they or a parent or legal guardian must be an NCGA member. Scholarship applications must be postmarked on or before December 13, 2013.
Scholarship recipients will be selected in early 2014. Recipients and a parent or guardian will enjoy travel and lodging to attend the 2014 Commodity Classic in San Antonio, Texas, to be recognized at the NCGA Banquet and have the opportunity to learn more about modern agriculture.
This is the seventh year for the partnership between BASF and NCGA. Click here for the complete rules and application packet.
