Keep your landing page intent clear with these four tips.
"What am I supposed to do now?" That's the last question you want crossing your Web visitor's mind, especially if they have arrived at your site through some sort of marketing offer. From the perspective of your visitor, it should be clear and obvious where they need to click on your landing page to get them closer to their goal. If your visitors have to spend time deciding where to look and what to do, they'll most likely get frustrated and leave your site in search of more effortless experiences.
In the example shown, would you know what to do? Are you supposed to look at the picture of the model holding the laptop? Inspect the detailed report screenshots? "Call before December 30th," as instructed in the reverse-color text in the band near the center of the page?
In fact, the answer is "none of the above." The desired conversion action is to start a free 30-day trial by signing up online. Yet the only way to do this is to click on the small black iPhone picture. Unless you have an iPhone, chances are you would tune this image out completely. Even if you noticed the graphic, it is unclear that the image is clickable, rather than simply informational. Because of the hidden nature of the call to action, and the large number of visually more dominant elements on the page, the desired conversion action is very unclear.
Focus on What Matters Most
The most criminal waste of attention happens when your landing page focuses your visitors on unnecessary tasks or distractions. Turn down the volume on your landing page by eliminating flashy visual elements that distract from your desired conversion goal. Your call to action should be the most visible graphic element on the page.
You should also prune your landing page of unnecessary choices that can lead visitors away from your conversion goal by sending them to less important content on your site. If your page includes minor or supporting conversion actions in addition to the primary conversion goal, resist the urge to give them all equal emphasis. Minimize the prominence of the supporting goals and allocate a disproportionately larger amount of screen real estate to your main goal.
Apply the Obvious Standard
If your call to action is not obvious, you are losing money. If your visitors can't tell almost immediately what your page is about and how to get to their goal, you will undoubtedly lose conversions.
Here's how to keep your landing page intent clear:
In short, keep your call to action clear by making sure it is the most visually prominent thing on the page, placed above the fold, and written in words that reflect the visitor's perspective, and you should never have to worry about visitors wondering "What am I supposed to do now?"

Meh. It seems sort of girly to me. I know it's unisex, and I generally prefer unisex names on boys, but this one I think just sounds better for a girl. I think something like Winston or Windham would be pretty cool on a boy, though. I just think Wynne and automatically think of Winnie, which seems all girl to me (despite Winnie the Pooh!), and the "Y" makes it seem even more feminine. I do think Wynn helps it feel more masculine, but I think something like Winston or Windham nn Wynn is a better bet, personally.Ashley

New York, NY, February 22, 2011 - The Vilcek Foundation is pleased to announce the 2011 winners of its annual prizes honoring the contributions of foreign-born scientists and artists.
The sixth annual Vilcek Prize for Biomedical Science, given in recognition of a sustained record of innovation and achievement, is awarded to Dutch-born Titia de Lange, PhD, the Leon Hess Professor and head of the laboratory of Cell Biology and Genetics at Rockefeller University, for her body of research on mechanisms that help maintain genome stability. She and her colleagues study telomeres, the elements that protect chromosome ends from unnecessary repair and mediate their replication. This work has led to a greater understanding of how telomeres protect chromosome ends, and what happens when telomere function is lost during the early stages of tumorigenesis. The Vilcek Prize for Biomedical Science includes a $100,000 cash award and a trophy created by noted designer Stefan Sagmeister.
The Vilcek Prizes embody the Foundation's mission to publicize and celebrate the accomplishments of foreign-born artists and scientists. "Every year, the Vilcek Prizes bring to light the many ways that immigrants contribute to American society," said Jan T. Vilcek, President of the Foundation. "These contributions are instrumental in maintaining the leadership position of the United States in scientific research and the arts."
The Vilcek Prize adds to Dr. de Lange's already impressive roster of awards and distinctions, which includes the 2010 Clowes Memorial Award from the American Association for Cancer Research, the 2008 Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center Prize, the 2005 NIH Director's Pioneer Award, and the 2001 Paul Marks Prize for Cancer Research. Dr. de Lange is also an American Cancer Society Research Professor, and serves as Associate Director of the university's Anderson Center for Cancer Research. She is an elected member of the Royal Dutch Academy

Limb Regeneration
There is currently no regenerative therapy for limb and digit amputation. While prosthetic technologies have improved, prosthetics fail to restore quality of life to the pre-injury state. The Badylak laboratory is pursuing tissue engineering solutions for complete, functional limb regeneration.
Objective: Complex tissue regeneration with controlled delivery of ECM treatment.
The Badylak laboratory has established a non-regenerating model of digit amputation, which is used to study tissue remodeling effects of extracellular matrix (ECM) treatment (Figure 1) [1,2]. Using this model, the laboratory has shown that ECM can positively affect both the recruitment of endogenous cells and the innate immune response to injury.
Using ECM derived from a porcine urinary bladder matrix (UBM) that was solubilized through pepsin digestion, amputated mouse digits were treated immediately after injury and again over the next four days. In response, a cluster of unique cells were recruited to the site of injury, including multipotential cells with Sox2 and Sca1 markers (Figure 2A). When isolated, these cells were capable of differentiation along osteogenic, adipogenic, and neuronal pathways in vitro (Figure 2B).
With this model, the Badylak laboratory has shown that treatment with UBM degradation products modifies the type of macrophages that respond to the digit injury. Using immunofluorescence labeling, it was shown that there is a greater ratio of M2, pro-remodeling macrophages to M1, pro-inflammatory macrophages at 7 and 14 days after injury. The ability to modulate macrophage phenotype holds significant promise for future tissue remodeling applications, as the Badylak laboratory has identified macrophage polarization as a predictor of tissue remodeling outcomes in other models [3,4].
While work in the mouse digit model has been promising, questions remain regarding the mechanism by which UBM recruits these progenitor cells to the site of injury. Additionally, stimulating factors may be needed to promote differentiation of the recruited multipotential cells to achieve full remodeling.
Presently, a study is in progress to examine the effect of bioactive ECM molecules, including UBM, as well as factors such as pH, O2 concentration, and electrical potential on the functional remodeling of composite soft tissue in a canine model. The goal of the study is to identify the optimal microenvironment for tissue remodeling and to engineer a delivery device (a Biodome) to monitor and control these factors (Figure 4). Control of the microenvironment through specific compounds delivered via an overlying Biodome will allow for directed differentiation of recruited cells into functional, innervated and vascularized soft tissue.

Sea ice is disappearing from Antarctica, melting away at an astounding rate of 30,000 square miles every year. You're thinking about climate change's effect on rising sea levels and coastal flooding, right? Consider this: while we worry about the impacts of all that water, others are also worrying about the loss of all that ice.
Retreating sea ice is poised to decimate the global population of emperor penguins, say scientists. Between 19 to 33 percent of them may disappear by the turn of the century if we don't reverse current trends soon. That's the disturbing conclusion of a new study just published in the journal Nature Climate Change.
Sea ice is frozen sea water that lies atop the ocean's surface. It fluctuates with the seasons, melting in summer and freezing over again in winter.
Sea ice provides irreplaceable habitat for a variety of arctic species, including polar bears, walruses and penguins. It also provides an ideal environment for algae growth. Algae is a primary food source for krill — a small shrimp-like crustacean that the emperor penguin depends on to survive.
Ever since the release of the 2005 documentary March of the Penguins, more people than ever know about the complicated and challenging lives led by these remarkable birds. After laying an egg during wintertime breeding at their colony locations, the females walk between 30 and 75 miles over open ice to find the sea and its rich food sources such as fish, squid and krill. Then they walk back and trade caretaking duties with their mates, who make the same amazing trek to find food.
The Relationship Between Penguins and Sea Ice
"The role of sea ice is complicated," lead study author Stephanie Jenouvrier, a biologist with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, noted in a press release. "Too much ice requires longer trips for penguin parents to travel to the ocean to hunt and bring back food for their chicks. But too little ice reduces the habitat for krill, a critical food source for emperor penguins."
Emperor penguins' lives are difficult enough without having to deal with external forces that wreak havoc on the sea ice they need to survive.
"If sea ice declines at the rates projected by the IPCC climate models, and continues to influence emperor penguins … at least two-thirds of the colonies are projected to have declined by greater than 50 percent from their current size by 2100," said Jenouvrier.
"None of the colonies…will provide a viable refuge by the end of 21st century," Jenouvrier added.
Walt Meier, a glaciologist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center put the ice problem in terms we can all understand:
In the 1980s, the Arctic sea ice at the end of the summer was about the size of the lower 48 U.S. states. If you imagine taking a road trip across the sea ice — say you want to go from Los Angeles to New York — you could have driven on the sea ice the whole way. Now, you'd reach the ice edge at around the middle of Nebraska, so we've lost everything east of the Mississippi [River], and even a bit west of the Mississippi.
"It's not happy news for the emperor penguin," study co-author Hal Castellan told Reuters. If there's a smidgen of good news, though, it comes from another recently released study that found these penguins may in fact be moving to new locations in response to environmental issues that make their colony locations less habitable. In the short term, that's good.
The Woods Hole study is said to be the first to predict decline in emperor penguin populations across all of Antarctica. Without action, according to this research, at least nine of the existing 45 colonies will become "quasi-extinct."
Scientists Call for Endangered Status and Establishment of Marine Reserves
Dr. Jenouvrier and her team concluded that the emperor penguin is "fully deserving of endangered status due to climate change." They recommended that world governments designate these penguins, a move that would protect them by controlling influences on their habitat and well being by Southern Ocean fishing, tourism and in other ways.
They also urged creation of marine preserves off Antarctica. Other penguin experts agree.
"Given this new research, and what we already know about global temperatures warming and the changing climate, one of the things we should do immediately is put a marine reserve in place so we can make sure that we are not fishing in areas where the penguins need to forage for food," Andrea Kavanagh, director of global penguin conservation for the Pew Charitable Trusts, told The Guardian. "It is one way of eliminating one more threat to the penguins."
Will the world take heed? Or will these hardy little survivors find themselves slowly marching to oblivion?

Freddy R and Jim S: Two clowns who deny their house was on fire while watching their family burn to ashes.
Dan B: where did you become the climate expert for the oil companies, is that what the little caricature of an idiot in glasses and lab coat is supposed to convince. Your observation was "Not much change", eh? Land ice (what's important for the health of the earth and what will raise the ocean levels) IS disappearing from the earth in massive quantities.
Results of satellite measurements which have measured ice loss in all of Earth's land ice between 2003 and 2010: The total global ice mass lost from Greenland, Antarctica and Earth's glaciers and ice caps in that period was about 4.3 trillion tons (1,000 cubic miles), adding about 0.5 inches (12 millimeters) to global sea level. That's enough ice to cover the United States 1.5 feet (0.5 meters) deep.
About a quarter of the average annual ice loss came from glaciers and ice caps outside of Greenland and Antarctica (148 billion tons, or 39 cubic miles). Ice loss from Greenland and Antarctica and their peripheral ice caps and glaciers averaged 385 billion tons (100 cubic miles) a year
Thanks for the article.
Simon T.,
Yes. As opposed to the Arctic, where sea ice has generally decline over the past three decades, ice has expanded in the Antarctic at a rate of 1% per decade. As the website states, "Whether the small increase in extent is a sign of meaningful change is uncertain because ice extents vary considerably from year to year around Antarctica. In September 2012 and 2103, for instance, satellites observed new highs for winter sea ice extent. These new highs occurred while the Arctic was seeing record lows."
Yes, there are those deniers who constantly mis-state the sea ice changes around Antarctica. I have seen the same type of mis-statements concerning sea level rise, drought occurrance, hurricane and tornado frequencies. Showing the actual data is the best way to counter these deliberately misleading statements.
Instead of looking at the deliberate mis-stating of a complex situations by the climate change deniers have a read of this article from NASA's Earth Observatory:
It makes interesting reading and does not deny the impact of climate change on the sea ice. My only regret about this whole debate (apart from the idiocy of the deniers) is that some fool coined the term "global warming", making the whole thing a hostage to the deliberate misrepresentation of facts practised so consistently by the apologists for the destroyers of our planet.

Creating new effects in photography is often a question of experimenting with either new software or hardware. 'Prisming' falls in the hardware category and is definitely a hands-on approach. Using a prism, you're able to bend the light, which opens up a myriad of possible effects from reflections to rainbows and more nuanced distortions.Read More

CHICAGO (May 6, 2014) Surgical site infections (SSIs) are the most common and costly healthcare-associated infection (HAI) in the United States. New evidence-based recommendations provide a framework for healthcare institutions to prioritize and implement strategies to reduce the number of infections.
The guidelines are published in the June issue of Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology and were produced in a collaborative effort led by the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America, the Infectious Diseases Society of America, the American Hospital Association, the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, and The Joint Commission. The new practice recommendations are a part of Compendium of Strategies to Prevent Healthcare-Associated Infections in Acute Care Hospitals: 2014 Updates.
SSIs occur in as many as five percent of patients undergoing inpatient surgery, amounting to approximately 160,000-300,000 SSI cases each year in the U.S. However, as many as 60 percent of SSIs are preventable by using evidence-based guidelines. Each case is associated with at least seven days of prolonged hospitalization, accounting for at least $3.5 billion in healthcare expenditures annually.
"The evidence-based recommendations released today are broader and more inclusive than other clinical guidelines and include 15 strategies for prevention that go beyond standard practices required by the government or other national organizations," said Deverick Anderson, MD, MPH, co-lead author of the guidelines.
"Formal recommendations can be limited if they rely exclusively on randomized control trial supporting data," said Keith Kaye, MD, MPH, co-lead author of the guidelines. "The current Compendium details strategies that incorporate information from a wider variety of study designs to emulate "real world" scenarios in order to provide practical recommendations for SSI prevention and surveillance."'/>"/>

MM-121 studies in breast cancer models and xenograft response prediction. MM-111 breast cancer study in combination with trastuzumab.
Cambridge, MA (PRWEB) April 17, 2010 -- Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced today that it will present pre-clinical data on MM-121 and MM-111, the two lead candidates in the company's pipeline of five novel cancer antibodies, at the 101st Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) being held April 17 – 21, 2010, in Washington, D.C.
Two posters will show pre-clinical data on MM-121, a monoclonal antibody designed to block signaling of the ErbB3 receptor. The ErbB receptor family has been known for years to have an impact on cancer signaling. Merrimack gained insight into the critical role of the ErbB3 receptor in cancer biology through the use of their Network Biology platform that led to the novel design of MM-121.
Poster 1806 shows pre-clinical data on MM-121's efficacy as a single agent, and in combination with tamoxifen and paclitaxel, in ER+ and triple negative breast cancer studies.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — The Athletics managed to compile the best record in the American League through the first three weeks of the season despite not having a defined closer.
They need to find one fast if they want to stay in front.
Luke Gregerson, the latest to get a shot at the job, gave up a pair of runs with two outs in the ninth inning and Oakland lost its second straight to division rival Texas 5-4 on Tuesday night.
The Rangers' rally came after Gregerson made a nice play on a comebacker to catch Mitch Moreland trying to score from third base on a squeeze play for the second out. Josh Wilson followed with an RBI double and scored the game-winner on a single by Michael Choice.
"It's funny, you get a gift like that, a nice ball come right back to you and you get the guy at home," Gregerson said. "I just didn't execute my pitches (after that). I didn't get the ball down in the zone like I wanted to. I kind of had a slider that backed up on me and (Wilson) took advantage of it."
Gregerson (0-1) took the loss after blowing his third save opportunity. He gave up two runs on three hits.
"He just wasn't getting his slider to the other side of the plate, which is usually his go-to pitch especially when he's ahead," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. "He just didn't get the slider far enough away. It kind of hung there."
More concerning to Melvin was the A's failure to take advantage of early struggles by Texas rookie starter Nick Martinez after scoring twice in the first and twice in the second.
Martinez was recalled from Double-A to make the start for the Rangers. He lasted five innings, allowing four runs on six hits. He walked three, struck out one and got some help from Texas' defense when center fielder Leonys Martin caught Jed Lowrie's fly ball then threw out John Jaso at home to complete the double play.
"That's been an issue for us," Melvin said. "It's usually not what happens in the last inning or the last at-bat. A lot of times it's what transpired in the middle innings or when you had opportunities earlier."
Alexi Ogando (1-1) recorded one out in the eighth to pick up the win. Joakim Soria pitched the ninth for his fifth save.
Coco Crisp, Yoenis Cespedes, Josh Donaldson and Eric Sogard drove in runs for the A's, who lost their second straight for the first time this season. Josh Reddick had two hits.
A's starter Tommy Milone allowed three runs on five hits. He walked four and struck out one.
Three of Milone's walks came in the first inning, when the Rangers took a 2-0 lead. Murphy singled home one run and Robinson Chirinos walked with the bases loaded.
The A's answered in their half of the first. Jed Lowrie doubled and scored when Donaldson singled. Cespedes hit a double, allowing Donaldson to score.
The Rangers regained the lead in the third. Alex Rios walked and went to third on Prince Fielder's single. Kevin Kouzmanoff hit into a double play, with Rios scoring.
Kouzmanoff left the game after the top of the fourth with tightness in his back. Luis Sardinas entered the game at second base, with Josh Wilson moving to third.
With one out in the fourth, John Jaso singled and Reddick reached base when Wilson mishandled his grounder. Sogard hit a sacrifice fly and Crisp followed with his double.
Rangers relief pitcher Pedro Figueroa left the game with an apparent back injury after hitting Reddick with a pitch with two outs in the eighth. Ogando replaced him.
NOTES: Crisp, who fell hard and bruised his ribs during Monday night's game, had X-Rays taken that were negative. … A's LHP Eric O'Flaherty (Tommy John surgery) threw all his pitches at full distance during a bullpen session, encouraging A's manager Bob Melvin to ask if he was available for an inning. . The A's rejected the Oakland-Alameda County Authority's 10-year lease proposal. … RHP Sonny Gray (3-0, 1.80) pitches for the A's in Wednesday's matinee game and will make his first start against the Rangers. He is currently 6-0 over his last eight starts dating to last year.

Living in New York City, you can take a cab to JFK and in four hours be sitting on a beautiful Caribbean island enjoying the warmth and relaxation that the city has deprived you of. The fact that this option is right in New York's backyard left me feeling sort of ambivalent about traveling halfway around the world to a place like Tahiti which seemingly offered what we already had such ready access too.
I have to admit when I am wrong, because I have absolutely never been to a more visually stunning place than French Polynesia. On top of that it's going to be difficult to find a resort more enjoyable than the Vahine Island.
To get to Vahine you need to fly to Tahiti's capital of Papeete (we flew Air Tahiti Nui from Los Angeles which was a red-eye which happens to be long enough to actually get some rest; Air France flies to PPT as well) and then hopped on a quick intra-island flight to Raiatea. From there the resort stands a short 30 minute boat ride away. Once you step off that boat onto Vahine looking at the blue waters and bright sun, all is right in the world.

FORT MADISON, Iowa — Anglers sitting at the docks prior to the launch of Day One of the Genuity River Rumble out of Fort Madison, Iowa, knew the last thing the muddy Mississippi needed was more rain.
"Today is going to be one of those rainy, dreary days," Edwin Evers said. "It's one of those tournaments where you need to make the most of every bite. If you miss a fish, you are falling in the standings."
Fred Roumbanis, currently sitting in 20th place in the Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year race, agreed with Evers as he sat and waited for the day's launch to begin. Roumbanis is normally comfortable fishing shallow-water, especially on rivers, but said that he has had one of the worst practices ever.
"This is not the Mississippi River I expected," Roumbanis said. "It's amazing what a flood will do. I didn't even catch a keeper in practice. This is a tournament where I could not catch a fish and fall from 20th, out of the Classic, or if I do well, move up to the top 12."
The biggest decision for Roumbanis on Day One was whether or not he should lock twice to get to less pressured water. His plan before leaving the dock, was to hit his first spots that he thinks hold fish one lock away, but if the boat traffic gets bad, to make the next lock.
Another angler struggling with the decision of where to fish was Kenyon Hill. Knowing that the field will likely be stacked up in small fishing holes, Hill considered locking, but found the barge traffic to be a big wildcard.
"The barge traffic is such that realistically, the scheduled locks are the only times you can go," Hill said. "If you should try to make it to one of the farther pools, it's not even a coin toss that you will make it back."
With unfavorable odds facing anglers who choose to run far, Hill plans to start the day closer and take his chances on boat traffic.
"There's about three to four spots that are bad crowded," Hill said. "One spot I have, I won't even go to because I am boat 83. By the time I get there, I don't even know that you could get me in with a shoehorn. In times like this more than any other, your confidence is your best lure in the box."
Many of the Elite anglers, including rookie Matt Herren, expressed uncertainty in their fishing areas, in the weights that would be brought in and in how the weather would affect their fishing. Herren is normally comfortable fishing rivers and shallow water, but found the Mississippi River to be a tougher nut to crack.
"Who knows?" Herren said. "With three days of practice, you don't really have time to figure anything out. I normally love rivers, but I hate this one. It's just a tough, tough bite."
For Herren, the prospect of a tough bite actually favors him because he said he helps him get in the right mindset to "grind out a few bites." Entering the tournament, Herren had slipped to 28th in the TTBAOY points and needs a good finish to move back into contention for Toyota Trucks Championship Week in September when the top 12 move on to the postseason.
The one angler that seemed undeterred by all the negative hype surrounding the Mississippi River this week was Dean Rojas. Favored by pundits to do well in the event using his signature frog Kermie, Rojas wanted to enter the day confidently, using the conditions thrust upon the anglers by Mother Nature.
"The rain will make them bite better," Rojas said. "We have fished in the rain before — it's not like it's something new. I really don't think there has been enough rain to make the river more muddy than it already is."
Rojas did agree that pressure has been the biggest adjustment anglers need to make, with everyone being bunched up in the best areas.
"The majority of the field will lock one way or the other to find new, cleaner water," Rojas said. "Everyone is trying to find that honey hole, but there isn't one."

Wanted to share this article my cousin pointed out to me about the Hindu Goddess Akhilandeshvari or The Always Broken Goddess.
"It's the kind of broken that tears apart all the stuff that gets us stuck in toxic routines, repeating the same relationships and habits over and over, rather than diving into the scary process of trying something new and unfathomable.Akhilanda derives her power from being broken: in flux, pulling herself apart, living in different, constant selves at the same time, from never becoming a whole that has limitations."

As Street revives, so does pay
The financial crisis dragged sky-high pay packages for top Wall Street executives down to earth. Those days are ending.
Citigroup Inc. C -0.20 % said its chief executive, Vikram Pandit, will get a base salary of $1.75 million in 2011, effective immediately, according to a securities filing Friday, up from the $1 salary that Mr. Pandit imposed on himself in early 2009, when he vowed not to accept more than that until the New York company regained profitability.
Richard Parsons, Citigroup's chairman, said directors are "very pleased with the progress that the company has made under Vikram's leadership. Vikram has worked tirelessly to put Citi back on the right track, spearheading a restructuring that has returned the company to profitability and positioning the company for future growth."
The issue of CEO pay is likely to heat up during proxy season. Unemployment remains high even as profits rebound on Wall Street and at many commercial banks. As part of the Dodd-Frank financial-overhaul law passed last summer, lawmakers required companies to eventually disclose the ratio of their chief executive's overall pay to the typical employee working at the firm.
Citigroup didn't disclose what Mr. Pandit's overall compensation will be. He took over as CEO in late 2007 as the bank's problems mounted. In 2008, Mr. Pandit was paid a salary of $958,333, as part of his total compensation of $10.8 million.
Citigroup started producing profits last year, and Mr. Parsons said the job performance of Mr. Pandit "would merit" higher compensation.
Before Mr. Pandit became CEO, Citigroup paid $800 million to acquire the hedge-fund firm he co-founded, Old Lane LP. The bank has said the after-tax share of Mr. Pandit's $165.2 million in sale proceeds was locked up at Citigroup until mid-2011.
In a separate securities filing Friday, Morgan Stanley MS 0.22 % said Chief Executive James Gorman got about $7.4 million in restricted stock and options for 2010. That was down 12% from the $8.5 million stock award that he got a year earlier.
Total compensation for Mr. Gorman, who became CEO at the start of 2010, won't be released until Morgan Stanley files a proxy statement for its annual shareholder meeting. The figure will be smaller than the $15 million in salary and bonus that Mr. Gorman got for 2009, according to a person familiar with the situation. More than 80% of Mr. Gorman's pay will come in deferred instruments such as stocks, options and deferred cash awards that can be clawed back later, the person said. That means Mr. Gorman will get a cash bonus. He didn't get one for 2009, and predecessor John Mack, now Morgan Stanley's chairman, took no bonus for three consecutive years.
Mr. Gorman got a stock-option grant for 2010 that is valued at $3.5 million and vests in three installments starting in February 2012, according to Friday's filing. He also was granted 129,809 restricted shares valued at about $3.9 million. The company also disclosed stock options and restricted stock granted to 10 other top Morgan Stanley executives.
In Mr. Gorman's first year as CEO, Morgan Stanley generated its highest net income and revenue since 2006, but the firm's results and stock price still trailed other major banks, which explains why Mr. Gorman's pay is down from last year despite his promotion to CEO from co-president.
Thursday, Morgan Stanley said its overall compensation and benefits for 2010 rose 11% to $16.05 billion from $14.43 billion in 2009. But Mr. Gorman has stressed discipline in pay, and compensation fell 2% in the unit that includes traders and investment bankers. The firm's compensation as a percent of its revenue also fell from 2009.
At J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., several top lieutenants of James Dimon, the bank's chairman and CEO, got increases in their equity awards, according to documents filed Friday. Investment-banking chief Jes Staley and asset-management head Mary Erdoes, who moved into those posts last year, saw the largest jumps, each about 50%.
Mr. Staley got 182,907 restricted stock units, valued at $8.1 million. He also received 230,770 stock-appreciation rights, which will become more valuable if the bank's share price climbs. Ms. Erdoes received 155,809 restricted stock units, valued at $6.9 million, and 230,770 in stock-appreciation rights
Most of the other executives on Mr. Dimon's operating committee got increases of about 10%, according to securities filings. The bank hasn't disclosed the amount of cash compensation for the executives. Mr. Dimon's overall compensation for 2010 also hasn't been disclosed.

› firstname.lastname@example.com If November has been a bad month for Mayor Gavin Newsom, it's been worse for his police chief, Heather Fong. The entire battle over police foot patrols has made Fong look terrible. She started off saying that the department simply couldn't afford to put more cops on the streets in high-crime areas because she didn't have the troops to do it. She and the mayor fought hard to defeat the legislation. The bill passed anyway, effectively ordering her to do what she claimed she couldn't do, and it was vetoed by Newsom. Read more »

There's something deliciously violent about stand-up comedian Margaret Cho's voice. Even when she picks up the phone in her hotel room in Philadelphia and says, "Hell-low? This is Margaret," in that familiar Cho twang, you feel the tigress at the end of the line.
OK, maybe I'm just projecting. Because let's face it: to call Margaret is to risk ending up as fodder in her next comedy act, especially if you have a British accent and work for the San Francisco Bay Guardian. Read more »

The SF PUC opened its Nov. 14 Sewer System Master Plan update with a cautionary tale: a sewage spill at Ocean Beach occurred when a manhole cover blew out, affecting about 150 ft of the beach from beneath the Cliff House going west, and further proving the need for major upgrades to its system.
The good news: PUC officials claim the thousands of gallons of shit that spewed across the Great Highway onto the beach during heavy downpours of rain never reached the ocean. All of which means that surfers can continue to hang ten with their eyes and mouths wide open.

Games Not Loading -- What Does Phenoix Do?

I have been trying to set up my xbox to play backups off of the harddrive since my little brother is rough on the games. I have gotten my box to evox and programs run fine. It's just when I go to run a game off the Harddrive, or even off the actual disc is always crashes to the black screen saying i need service. I have an original XBOX v.1, 3944 kernel, using Bert and Ernie. I also don't know what the Phenoix Project does. I'm pretty new to this stuff. My friend got his to work but he has a newer xbox.
Just post if you need more info. even if someone could just tell me of a sure fire way to make it work i'll just start over.

If you PM me, i can send you something that will include everything you need. Its as easy as 123 to install.

From what I understand Phoenix Loader lets an unmodded Xbox load a custom bios so it can run unsigned code. Installing it would probably make it easier for you to run those HD backups.
Posted 11 September 2003 - 09:41 PM
Does it actually replace your BIOS or does it just run a different version perserving your BIOS. Pretty much i don't wanna screw up the xbox after i install pheonix. From what I have read it seems like Pheonix just Could someone clarify this for me? Does it like flash your bios or does it just use something from the Harddrive?
Posted 11 September 2003 - 09:44 PM
when your launch phoenix bios loader it loads executor 2 4977 bios which in turn lookes to load evoxdash.xbe in C SO essentially phoenix bios loader is a bios loader.
Posted 11 September 2003 - 09:47 PM
so it really doesn't do anything to your xbox bios then? if that is true what you are saying? do you have to change around your xbe files? b/c i have default.xbe, newdash.xbe (MS), xboxdash.xbe. do i have to rename the default?
Posted 11 September 2003 - 09:48 PM
It only loads the BIOS into temp memory, leaving the chip on the MB unchanged.
Posted 11 September 2003 - 09:49 PM
I don't understand the phonix install file that comes with 1.3. is there a plain english tutorial somewhere?
Posted 11 September 2003 - 09:53 PM
Yes, in the tutorials section. it takes you step by step through setting this up.
Now excuse me while I go rename my xodash folder. I have the urge to get rid of that pesky little button!

default.xbe is pheonix bios loader that name is correct that will oad up the bios which will look for evoxdash.xbe u need evolution x dashboard in C then it will load up to evox for you i have no idea what your newdash.xbe is i guess you named it that? but just leave default.xbe alone leave xboxdash.xbe alone and get evox dashboard in C evox dashboard includes a skin folder an evox.ini file and the xbe file will most likely be called default.xbe when u download evox rename it to evoxdash.xbe

There are a lot of projects, companys and other environments where it's bad to place files with meta information directly where the original file is.
So it would great to serve an alternative storage point for marker fields.

This is a good idea but how to store them ?
Like the backups ? But if I remove a file, the marker will remains here, how to cleanup this folder ?

The BufferLocal plugin has similar functionality for buffer local properties. Maybe code from it could be leveraged to help in this request?
Shlomy Reinstein
You can try the MarkerSets plugin, which is a new plugin that supports sets of markers. The plugin provides its own marker objects, which are different from jEdit markers but operate similarly. In addition, you can assign different colors to different sets of markers, and see all of the markers of each set grouped together. The marker sets are stored in a single xml file, located in the settings directory. Does this provide what you're requesting?

In a painful week for many Middle East and North Africa (MENA) non-citizens, we are pleased to share Ekklesia associate and regional expert Dr Harry Hagopian's latest episode of 'MENA Analysis'.
Our associate Dr Harry Hagopian, an expert commentator and ecumenical consultant on the Middle East and North Africa, has been particularly busy during Advent, recording several broadcasts before a stay in a Monastery.
A reminder that Ekklesia associate, international lawyer and church consultant Dr Harry Hagopian features in a regular Premier Christian Radio broadcast on the Thursday of the last week of every month.
This week I have taken part in the first of what will be a monthly series of Premier Radio programmes on the MENA region - the full details are in the links at the foot of this page.
Premier Radio, the national Christian radio station, is beginning a new regular slot analysing the Middle East and North Africa with Ekklesia associate and regional expert Dr Harry Hagopian – starting tonight (29 August 2013).
Middle East expert and Ekklesia associate Dr Harry Hagopian, who is Armenian Orthodox but also an independent adviser to the Catholic Church on regional and interfaith issues, is one of the panellists
The successor to the Pope Benedict XVI needs to build on the work done by his predecessor in attempting to encourage peace with justice in the Middle East and North Africa, regional expert and Ekklesia associate Dr Harry Hagopian told Premier Christian Radio on 12 February 2013.
In the 'listen again' MP3 links below, Premier Christian Radio's Marcus Jones is joined by General Bishop of the Coptic Orthodox Church in the UK, Bishop Angaelos, and international lawyer, church consultant and Ekklesia associate Dr Harry Hagopian.
Today (Saturday 10 March 2012) I will be in conversation with Sarah McAllister from Belfast on Premier Radio's Newstalk half-hour programme, at 11.30 AM.
Middle East specialist and Ekklesia associate Dr Harry Hagopian is appearing on BBC and Premier Radio programmes over the New Year period, analysing the dramatic changes which have taken place in the region over the past year.

Not the best nights sleep....
Very noisy till gone 1am, lots of door slamming and people noisily running up and down stairs.
Also, despite there being no heating out room was boiling hot. Didn't have black out curtains, so woken very early by the light. It would have been less than £10 extra to stay in a 'normal' hotel, but I'd wanted to give this place a try, but thought it needed to be quite a bit cheaper for me to feel it was worth it. Pluses are it's in a good location and there's a communal kitchen. Very nicely decorated. Reception staff seemed surprised we hadn't slept well, so maybe we just got unlucky.

Back on April 22, 1970, the first national Earth Day celebration came into being. It was the brainchild of U.S. Sen. Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin and was supported by many others.
In 1990, there was a resurgence of environmental interest across the country, and Earth Day saw itself revitalized. One of those sparks ignited here in Evergreen, and a small group formed to create our first mountain area celebration. The initial event was held in the old brick school building where the new library now stands. In 1994, the fair moved to the Lake House, a truly fitting location.
Editor's note: On Saturday, April 18, Evergreen will host its 20th Earth Day is celebration. In commemoration, Earth Day organizers have designated Spalding Trees as Green Business of the Year.
Spalding Trees has been planting trees in the Evergreen area since 1988. Using a large tree spade that plants a 12,000-pound root ball, the company plants trees from 10 to 45 feet tall.
For more information, call Mary Dickhoff, Earth Day chairwoman, at 674-1918.
If you were driving up Squaw Pass Road recently and nearly had an accident because you thought you saw three swans on the second pond in Noble Meadow, have no fear: You are not flipping out. There really are three swans on the pond.
Tucked away in a small room in Comfortable Home in Kittredge is an earth-friendly shop called Bella Vita, which sells products for bath, bed, baby, gifts and home décor.
Owners Brent and Michele Culp believe that being green can be both accessible and beautiful.
The store "has been a dream of mine for a long time," said Michele Culp. "In turn, it's helping (Comfortable Home) have new products." Bella Vita opened in mid-January.
It's that time of the decade again — the federal government is sending out an army of workers to begin taking the 2010 census.
Workers will start by conducting an address survey to make sure every address in America is accounted for so surveys can be mailed to those homes in 2010.
And so, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office is trying to head off calls about strange people cruising neighborhoods or trying to get into gated communities.
Jefferson County officials appear to have conflicting opinions about District Attorney Scott Storey's bid to extend term limits for his office.
For her abilities on the golf course, Evergreen's Chance Forbes has been afforded the opportunity to play on some great courses across the country.
Her skill is now affording her the opportunity to go to college.
Forbes recently committed to Boston College, where she will join the Eagles' Division I golf team in the fall.
ARVADA — Whiff.
That pretty much sums up Evergreen's 1-0 cross-classification defeat April 10 to the Pomona Panthers. The Cougars shot and shot and shot the ball but put just four tries – all of them pretty easy – on frame at the North Area Athletic Complex.
"We just couldn't finish," junior co-captain Anya Kaufmann said.
"Sometimes you can't hit the broad side of a barn," coach Whitney Walker said.
DENVER — The small and inexperienced did not fare well in the 3,200-meter run at the annual Runners Roost Invitational at Mullen High School. And they were easy to spot.
Those unfortunate runners were either not leaning forward or just not strong enough to compensate when they made the turn to the south on the track and ran smack into the wall of wind April 11.
The Evergreen girls lacrosse team now knows how David must have felt when he got his first glimpse of Goliath.
In its April 11 game against the Columbine Rebels, the Cougars were prepared for a fight with their slings (crosses) and stones (balls) at the ready. But for the Cougars (1-8, 0-4 Jeffco League) there would be no victory, proverbial or otherwise, against the colossal Rebels (10-0, 6-0 Jeffco League) who scored six goals in the first five minutes of the game, then cruised to an easy 19-0 win.

Sorry for the late l18n change, I just noticed this.
Menu item is Network Settings, screen title is Network Options. Also, $title set at the top was not being echoed to the screen.

comment:1 @wpmuguru — 5 years ago
Actually, the Network Settings isn't a new string, just a new string in that location. It's already being translated for the menu.
comment:2 @nacin — 5 years ago
No need to echo $title here, that's just convenience. (The main purpose of $title is for the admin header.)
We have three options here:
- Force a string change with 'Network Settings'
- Do nothing and punt to 3.2.
- Move to 'Settings', which is an existing string, and then prepend 'Network' in 3.2.
I can't find the 'Network Settings' string anywhere.
comment:3 @wpmuguru — 5 years ago
Sorry, it's just Setting in the menu.
Let's go with just Settings for the title.

Reopening for 3.2. Ideal string is "Network Settings." Not worth a string change. "Settings" will do for 3.1.

I think this one has essentially been fixed in the text changes in 3.2.
comment:7 @SergeyBiryukov — 4 years ago

Since [18026], menu item is "Network Settings" again.
Suggest to commit 16027.4.diff for consistency with Site Admin strings (e.g. General Settings).
