Director Florin Iepan says his new documentary on the execution of thousands of Jews in Odessa, Ukraine -- one of the worst World War II massacres -- is a plea for his fellow Romanians to acknowledge their role in the Holocaust.
"Odessa", a 55-minute documentary, "is a protest against the authorities' lack of reaction to this episode... probably the grimmest in Romania's history," Iepan told the audience after the film's premiere this week in Bucharest during the One World Romania documentary festival.
"We live in a vulnerable society. Intolerance, hatred or xenophobia can still flare up" unless Romanians assume their past, he told AFP.
Alternating poignant accounts and ironic comments, the documentary puts under the spotlight the 1941 massacre of 22,500 Ukrainian Jews by Romanian troops, in retaliation for the blowing up of the Romanian army's headquarters in Odessa.
Around 100 Romanian and Soviet soldiers were killed in the blast, which pro-Nazi marshal Ion Antonescu blamed on the Jewish community.
On October 23, 1941, thousands of Jewish civilians -- men, women and children -- were driven into a dozen warehouses on the outskirts of Odessa and burnt alive.
Those who managed to escape were gunned down.
"I recall the thousands of women marching in column, in deep silence," towards their death, said a Romanian witness, aged seven at the time.
He added it was only much later that he realised "where that persistent stench of burnt flesh came from."
Passed over by Romanian textbooks, this tragic episode prompted Iepan to embark on a long journey trying to raise awareness about the horrors of the Holocaust.
Romania for a long time denied having participated in the mass killing and deportation of Jews during World War II and many Romanians still consider Antonescu a national hero.
Between 280,000 and 380,000 Romanian and Ukrainian Jews died in Romania and the territories under its control during Antonescu's regime, according to an international historians' commission headed by Nobel Peace laureate Elie Wiesel.
Iepan, 44, said he only learnt about this in 2006 when he was commissioned by public television to do a short documentary on Antonescu.
The marshal featured on a list of 100 "great Romanians" drawn up as part of a TV programme.
Antonescu finally came in sixth, but rumours have circulated that the poll was manipulated to avoid the programme crowning a war criminal.
Iepan had a priceless companion along part of his journey -- the last known survivor of the Odessa massacre.
Mikhail Zaslavski, 86, lost his mother, three sisters, a brother and an aunt in the carnage.
Decades after the war, he still faces animosity from some in Romania.
During a seminar on Romania's ex-king Michael attended by historians, Zaslavski was not allowed to take the floor, while Iepan was accused of disturbing the meeting.
Former centre-right president Emil Constantinescu avoided shaking the survivor's hand and several politicians refused requests by Iepan to talk about the mass execution.
"I think that 70 years after the massacre, a top Romanian official should go to Odessa and apologise to the last survivor and to the Jewish community, and tell them that today's Romania is different from Antonescu's," Iepan said.
"This may be a merely formal gesture but it would nevertheless open a much-needed debate."

Rounded List Edges
Trying to figure out how best to round off the edges on the first and last item in a List component to give the list a slightly rounded look. I know I need to set the border-top-left-radius (and right) values for the first item and the bottom-radius values for the last item in the list, but not exactly sure where to do this (or how).
It seems that these radius values have to change on the outer "x-list" div as well as the first and last "x-list-item" to achieve this look. Is this true? Is there a better way to do this?
2 Mar 2011 8:10 PM #2
Just add ui: 'round' config to your list
2 Mar 2011 8:15 PM #3
Hmmm, thanks...but that doesn't seem to work for me. This is a Nested list, should that matter?
2 Mar 2011 8:21 PM #4
I found that I had to add my own classes to get it to work, using the border-[top/bottom]-[right/left-radius: 1em to both the x-list class as well as the x-list-item:[first/last]-child CSS classes using those new selectors. Works perfectly, but it would sure be nice if it did work your way. I guess if I used Compass and SASS and generated my own style that would be easier too...but the plain old ui:'round' didn't work for me out of the box.
Thanks for the reply tho!
2 Mar 2011 8:57 PM #5
You didn't say it was a nested list Then you're right, it won't work, you have to do your own styling, which is fairly easy with Compass.
10 Apr 2011 2:37 PM #6
Is there a way to have grouped elements be inline in the list - currently it renders separate lists under each grouped letter title and the letter title extends the full width of the page, unlike the lists which take up about 95% of the page width.
10 Apr 2011 9:17 PM #7
This should be pretty easy with a few lines of CSS. Give your Ext.List a unique class so you can style it independently of other Ext.Lists. Something like:
cls: 'Special'
.Special .x-list-item:first-child { -webkit-border-top-left-radius: 5px; -webkit-border-top-right-radius: 5px; } .Special .x-list-item:last-child { -webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 5px; -webkit-border-bottom-right-radius: 5px; }
Good luck.-------------------------------------------

When front line tranny titles are unavailable, this will likely take the edge off.
There's nothing glamorous about this series of utilitarian scenes, but each is a pleasure to watch. A simple mattress on the floor, a gingham couch, a couple of wooden chairs and a cheap looking hotel room play host to five scenes featuring attractive performers and decent sex. The most atmospheric scene presents a pretty belly-dancing tranny that is made love to by a sheik on a balcony mattress while a sheet of chiffon flutters in the breeze. The editing is, alas, horrible, but the performance worth watching. The final scene stars a tranny and a natural born woman, both with loud, bad, blonde dye jobs.
The DVD includes 90 minutes/18 additional scenes of transsexual fornication.

Rams adjusting to short workweek
10/2/2012 @ 6:45 AMST. LOUIS (AP) - The St. Louis Rams' adjustment to a short week has gone about as smoothly as they hoped.
They come off their 19-13 victory over Seattle on Sunday relatively healthy and get a second consecutive home game for their Thursday night matchup with Arizona.
Arizona (4-0) is one of three undefeated teams in the league, along with Atlanta and Houston.
With the workweek accelerated with no days off and less film work than normal, defensive end Chris Long said the Rams had already seemed to adjust well to the quick turnaround.
St. Louis hasn't been above .500 this deep in the season since 2006 when it was 4-1 after its fifth game en route to an 8-8 finish.

I've recently set up a Common Lisp programming environment in Mac OS X Leopard. One emacs module which I've found to be indispensable is paredit. Paredit is doing its part to help me wrangle my Lisp code more easily, but I've ran into a bit of a snare.
C-), bound to
paredit-forward-slurp-sexp, is not forward slurping sexps but instead echoing the number
0. I'm using a Mac, alternating between iTerm and Terminal. The same problem is present in both apps.
I tried the same key combination in GNU Emacs' GUI version, and lo, it worked. Unfortunately the graphical version of Emacs does not satisfy my needs; I would like to keep using my iTerm based rig.
So I ask you, stackoverflow: what do I have to do to get the C-) combo to register with iTerm?

Quarterly Report
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of our operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2011, and with management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations included in our prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 10, 2012 (Prospectus).
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including this "Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations", includes a number of forward-looking statements that involve many risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are identified by the use of the words "would," "could," "will," "may," "expect," "believe," "should," "anticipate," "outlook," "if," "future," "intend," "plan," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "targets," "seek" or "continue" and similar words and phrases, including the negatives of these terms, or other variations of these terms, that denote future events. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and our potential financial performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results and financial position to differ materially and adversely from what is projected or implied in any forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These factors include, but are not limited to, the risks described under Item 1A of Part II - "Risk factors," Item 2 of Part I - "Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations," elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and those discussed in other documents we file with the SEC. We make these forward-looking statements based upon information available on the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and we have no obligation (and expressly disclaim any such obligation) to update or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or otherwise except as otherwise required by securities regulations.
We are the leader in advanced voice and audio processing for mobile devices. We collaborate with leading auditory neuroscientists to understand the human auditory system and have developed purpose-built processors that combine science and technology to function like human hearing. Our low power, hardware-accelerated digital signal processors and associated algorithms substantially improve sound quality and suppress noise in mobile devices. As the primary driver of the mobile device market, the mobile phone continues to play an increasingly prominent role in peoples' lives. Voice communication is a primary function of mobile phones, and we expect voice to increasingly complement touch as a core user interface, heightening the importance of voice and audio quality in mobile devices.
We work with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to have our voice and audio processors designed into their products, which we refer to as design wins. Once our voice and audio processor is designed into a mobile device, we generally sell our processors to OEMs on a purchase order basis that incorporate them into their mobile devices, or to contract manufacturers (CMs) retained by OEMs on a purchase order basis, and the CMs incorporate them into the mobile devices that they build for the OEMs. We sell a limited portion of our products indirectly to OEMs through distributors. For a single OEM, we also license semiconductor intellectual property (processor IP), which that OEM has integrated into the 2011 model of its mobile phones. In the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we began to recognize royalty revenue for the use of our processor IP in the 2011 model of the mobile phones of a single OEM. Although we had made available the processor IP for the 2012 model of the mobile phones to the OEM to which we license our processor IP, in November 2012, we received a royalty report from this OEM which indicated that our processor IP had been included but not enabled in the 2012 model of its mobile phones. As a result, we anticipate that royalty revenue from this OEM will decline significantly commencing in the three months ending March 31, 2013. We also anticipate that sales of our processors to CMs for this OEM for an older generation model of its mobile phones will decline as newer models take market share from this older model.
On May 15, 2012, we closed our initial public offering (IPO) of 6,060,707 shares of our common stock inclusive of 270,180 shares of common stock sold by certain selling stockholders and the 790,527 shares of underwriters' over-allotment option. The public offering price of the shares sold in the offering was $17.00 per share. The total gross proceeds from the offering to us were $98.4 million and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, the aggregate net proceeds received by us was approximately $91.5 million before offering expenses. We also received $81,000 from the exercise of stock options by certain selling stockholders. Upon the closing of the IPO, all shares of our outstanding convertible preferred stock converted into shares of common stock on a one to one basis and all outstanding warrants to purchase convertible preferred stock converted into warrants to purchase shares of common stock.
Our total revenue was $40.8 million and $105.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively; and $26.3 million and $79.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Our net income was $3.7 million and $12.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and $2.4 million and $13.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.
Business factors affecting our performance
Creation of voice and audio improvement as a new category for users. Our success will depend, in part, on increasing market awareness among OEMs, mobile network operators (MNOs), operating system companies and applications vendors of the importance of voice and audio quality on the user experience. User demand for new levels of voice and audio quality will depend on our ability to provide solutions that continue to improve the user experience and our ability to convey the impact of our solutions on the mobile device ecosystem.
Design wins. We closely monitor design wins by OEMs and their mass production releases because we consider these to be important indicators of future revenue. The revenue that we generate from each design win can vary significantly and in some cases, our OEMs may cancel projects for which we have been awarded a design win. Our long-term sales expectations are based on forecasts from OEMs and internal estimations of demand factoring in the expected time to market for final mobile devices incorporating our solutions and associated revenue potential. Our ability to implement our product roadmap and introduce new products will facilitate the adoption of our solutions into future generations of mobile devices.
We estimate the life cycle of our OEMs' mobile devices on the basis of our history with the OEM, the type of mobile device and discussions with our OEMs. A given design win for our processors or processor IP can generate a wide range of sales volumes for our voice and audio processors, depending on the market demand for our OEMs' mobile devices. The market demand for our OEMs' mobile devices, in turn, can depend a number of factors, including the reputation of the OEM, the geographic markets in which the OEM intends to introduce the mobile devices and whether the MNOs on whose networks the mobile devices are designed to operate provide marketing and subsidies for the mobile devices.
Revenue driven by significant customers. Historically, our revenue has been significantly concentrated in a small number of OEMs, CMs and distributors and we expect that concentration to continue for the foreseeable future. Foxconn International Holdings, Ltd. and its affiliates (collectively, Foxconn), a CM, accounted for 14% and 15% of our total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and 51% and 70% of our total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (Samsung), an OEM, accounted for 55% and 45% of our total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and 30% and 17% of our total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Protek (Shanghai) Limited and its affiliates (collectively, Protek), a CM, accounted for less than 10% of our total revenue for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, and 10% of our total revenue for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. In addition, Apple Inc. (Apple), one of our large OEMs, began to license our processor IP for a royalty in connection with the 2011 model of its mobile phones. We began to recognize royalty revenue in 2012, which accounted for 21% and 31% of our total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. See "-Our arrangements with one of our OEMs." No other OEM, CM or distributor accounted for 10% or more of our total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.
While we strive to expand and diversify our OEM base and we expect our customer concentration to decline over time, we anticipate that sales to a limited number of OEMs will continue to account for a significant percentage of our total revenue for the foreseeable future. Our customer concentration may cause our financial performance to fluctuate significantly from period to period based on the device release cycles and seasonal sales patterns of these OEMs and the success of their products. The loss of or any significant decline in sales to these OEMs may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Pricing and gross margins of our products. Our gross margin has been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including the timing of changes in pricing, shipment volumes, new product introductions, changes in OEM concentration and product mixes, changes in our purchase price of fabricated wafers and assembly and test service costs and inventory write downs, if any. In general, products with higher performance and a higher number of features tend to be priced higher and have higher gross margins. We expect our gross margin to fluctuate over time, in part from the impact of competitive pricing pressure. Erosion of average selling prices as products mature is typical in the semiconductor industry. Consistent with this historical trend, we expect that the average selling prices of our products will decline as they mature. As a normal course of business, we will seek to offset the effect of declining average selling prices on existing products by reducing manufacturing costs and introducing new and higher value-added products. If we are unable to maintain overall average selling prices, our gross margin will decline.
Relationships with MNOs. MNOs determine product specifications for OEM products, thereby influencing the design and components selected by OEMs, which specifications have generated demand for our products. We have invested and continue to invest significant resources in working with MNOs to increase awareness of the potential and benefits of our
processors. We intend to continue our work with MNOs to educate them about the impact of sound quality on the user experience. MNOs may not continue to value the improvements in sound quality that our products can provide and may not require their OEMs to meet certain sound quality specifications.
General economic conditions and geographic concentration. A global economic slowdown or financial crisis, similar to the one that occurred beginning in late 2008, would likely have a significant impact on the mobile device industry and our financial results. As the economy slows, consumer confidence may decline and, because our products serve the mobile device market, any decline in purchases by consumers of new mobile devices would adversely affect our revenue. Moreover, because our sales have been concentrated in a few selected markets, including China, Taiwan and Korea, our financial results will be impacted by general economic and political conditions in these markets.
Our arrangement with one of our OEMs
On August 6, 2008, we entered into an agreement with Apple. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement with this OEM, we develop, supply and support our custom voice and audio processors for use in certain mobile devices which this OEM purchases from Foxconn and Protek; however, we cannot assure you that Foxconn and Protek will continue to purchase our processors in similar volumes, or at all. To date, Foxconn and Protek have purchased a custom version of our voice processor that Foxconn and Protek have incorporated into the 2010 model of the mobile phones for this OEM and this OEM licensed our processor IP for the 2011 model of its mobile phones. Pursuant to our agreement, this OEM pays us a royalty, on a quarterly basis, for the use of our processor IP in mobile phones in which it is integrated. In the first quarter of 2012, we began to recognize royalty revenue for the use of our processor IP in this OEM's 2011 model of its mobile phones. In comparison to a business model with OEMs that purchase our processors on a stand-alone basis to incorporate into their mobile devices, the licensing of our processor IP represents a multiyear process, and we may not receive royalties for several years, if at all, after we agree to license our processor IP.
We granted a similar license to this OEM for the 2012 model of its mobile phones; however, this OEM is not obligated to incorporate our processor IP into any of its current or future mobile devices. For the new generation of our processor IP that we agreed to license to this OEM, the royalty is subject to a lifetime maximum, after which we would not receive royalties for shipments of devices into which that processor IP is integrated. We and the OEM amended the statement of work for this generation of processor IP in March 2012 and we made available the processor IP in the spring of 2012. In September 2012, we concluded that it was unlikely that our processor IP would be enabled in this OEM's 2012 model of its mobile phones and announced our expectation. Based on this OEM's November 2012 royalty report to us, we believe that our processor IP has been included but not enabled in this OEM's 2012 model of its mobile phones. As a result, we anticipate that royalty revenue will decline substantially commencing in the three months ending March 31, 2013.
Although we may continue to provide our processors on a stand-alone basis to Foxconn and Protek to incorporate into this OEM's mobile phones in which they are currently designed, Foxconn, Protek and this OEM are not obligated to continue to incorporate our processors. Foxconn and Protek may also elect to stockpile inventory of these processors in anticipation of the time that the 2010 model of this OEM's mobile phones may reach the end of their product lifecycles. We also anticipate that sales of our processors to CMs for this OEM for the 2010 model of its mobile phones will decline as newer models take market share from older models.
Under our current license agreement, royalties from our processor IP that we license are based upon the number of mobile phones shipped that integrate our technology. We recognize royalty revenue based on mobile phone sales when and as reported to us. The amount of revenue we recognize is determined by the agreed upon royalty rate, multiplied by the number of mobile phones sold in which our processor IP is integrated. Our royalty revenue lags the sales of the products that integrate our processor IP by one quarter.
The licensing of our processor IP does not require the manufacture, assembly, packaging, test or shipment of integrated circuits by us. Our royalty rate per licensed unit is lower than our average selling price for our processors. As we transition to a partial licensing model with a single OEM, we expect our revenue from the sale of processors to this OEM and its CMs to decrease substantially in the long term, as the mix of revenue shifts from stand-alone processor sales to royalties. We also expect that our total revenue from this OEM and its CMs may also decrease as a result of lower royalty revenue per mobile device under the licensing model. Our total revenue may decline if sales to other OEMs do not increase sufficiently to offset the decline. As the cost of revenue associated with the licensing of our processor IP is substantially lower than our cost of revenue for processors, we expect our gross margin on our royalty revenue to continue to be higher than our gross margin on our processor revenue.
Components of our results of operations
To date, we have generated hardware revenue from sales of our voice and audio processors and we expect the sale of our processors to continue to represent the substantial majority of our revenue. We sell processors through three separate channels. First, we ship a significant portion of our products to the inventory hubs of CMs and recognize the related revenue as the CMs notify us in writing that they have drawn our products from the hub, at which point delivery and transfer of title and risk of ownership has occurred. Our sales to Foxconn are an example of this type of arrangement. Second, for certain OEMs, we ship our voice and audio processors directly and recognize revenue at the time of delivery and title transfer. Our INCOTERMS 2000 commercial shipping terms are typically free carrier (FCA), delivered at terminal (DAT) and delivered at place (DAP) shipping point. Third, we ship a small portion of our products to our distributors under our shipping terms, which are typically ex works (EXW) or free on board (FOB) shipping point. These distributors tend to buy from us at the request of specific OEMs, and we recognize revenue on sales to distributors when the distributor notifies us in writing of the final resale of our products.
We anticipate that in the future as significant OEMs prepare worldwide launches of their products, we may see substantial increases in revenue shortly before the launch. We also anticipate that for some period before the OEM begins building new inventory for the new mobile device or following the launch, we may see reductions in revenue related to our products incorporated in prior generations of devices, as the OEMs reduce their inventories of those products.
Under a license agreement we entered into in 2008, we began to recognize royalty revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2012. As part of our 2008 license, we receive a royalty for each mobile device that is sold incorporating our processor IP and, for mobile devices other than mobile phones, in which our processor IP is enabled. We entered into an additional license agreement in 2010 relating to a new generation of our processor IP, but we do not expect to receive material revenue from this subsequent generation of mobile phone as the OEM has not enabled our processor IP. We do not expect to offer this arrangement to other OEMs and expect a single OEM to be the sole source of our royalty revenue for the foreseeable future.
We recognize royalty revenue on the basis of the number of mobile phones sold that incorporate our processor IP. We are reliant on the accuracy of shipment reports, which we receive not later than 45 days after the OEM's fiscal quarter end, in order to calculate our royalty revenue. Our royalty revenue lags the sales of mobile phones that integrate our processor IP by one quarter. We have limited rights to audit the shipment data we receive, which limits our ability to verify calculated royalty revenue or seek redress for reports we believe are not accurate and we have limited experience in testing and evaluating the accuracy of the data we receive. Although mobile phones integrating our processor IP commenced shipping in the three months ended December 31, 2011, we did not recognize royalty revenue related to those mobile devices until the three months ended March 31, 2012. We expect our royalty revenue to decrease as the OEM transitions to the 2012 model of its mobile phones and demand for the 2011 model of its mobile phones in which our processor IP is enabled declines. We also expect our hardware revenue from this OEM's CMs to decrease substantially in the long term as the 2010 model of its mobile phones reach their end of life.
We maintain sales operations, which include our direct sales force, third-party sales representatives and distributors, in Asia, North America, Japan and Europe. Substantially all of our revenue from the sale of our processors has been generated by sales to CMs and OEMs that manufacture their products in Asia and we expect sales to such CMs and OEMs in Asia to contribute a majority of our revenue for the foreseeable future. Because our OEMs market and sell their products worldwide, our revenue by geographic location is not necessarily indicative of where mobile device sales occur, but rather of where their manufacturing operations occur. Since our inception, our sales in Asia have represented substantially all of our processor revenue. Our revenue from the licensing of processor IP is generated in the jurisdiction where the OEM has its headquarters. As we continue to recognize royalty revenue, we anticipate that the geographic distribution of our revenue will continue to change as our royalty revenue is attributed to the location of the licensor's headquarters rather than the location of its CMs' manufacturing operations.
Cost of revenue and gross margin
The largest components of our cost of revenue are costs of materials and outsourced manufacturing costs for the fabrication, assembly, packaging and test of our voice and audio processors. To a lesser extent, cost of revenue also includes expenses relating to cost of personnel, stock-based compensation, logistics and quality assurance, royalty expense, shipping, provisions for excess and obsolete inventories, if any, and an allocation of overhead. We intend to continue to manage our cost of revenue through both cost improvements and economies of scale.
We expect our gross margins to fluctuate over time depending on the mix of newer, higher margin products and older products, whose margins have declined over time, as well as the mix between sales of processors and license of processor IP. In general, new products with higher performance and more features tend to be priced higher and have higher gross margins.
Consistent with trends in the semiconductor industry, we have reduced the price of certain of our products over time and may continue to do so in the future. As a normal course of business, we seek to offset the effect of declining average selling prices by reducing manufacturing costs of existing products and introducing new and higher value-added products. The license of our processor IP does not require the manufacture, assembly, packaging, test or shipment of integrated circuits, resulting in higher gross margins than for the sale of stand-alone processors.
Operating expenses
We classify our operating expenses as either research and development or selling, general and administrative. Personnel-related costs, including salaries, benefits, bonuses and stock-based compensation, are the most significant component of each of our operating expense categories. In the near term, we expect to hire a significant number of additional employees in order to support our anticipated growth. In any particular period, the timing of additional hires could materially affect our operating expenses.
Research and development. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs for the design and development of our products and technologies. Additional research and development expenses include nonrecurring engineering expenses, product prototypes, external test and characterization expenses, depreciation, amortization of design tool software licenses and allocated overhead expenses. We also outsource portions of our research and development activities. We record all research and development expenses as incurred, except for capital equipment, which we depreciate over its estimated useful life. We have engineering development teams in the United States and outsourced engineering teams in the United States and India. In 2012, we opened our own design center outside of the United States and reduced the extent to which we rely on outsourced research and development teams. We expect research and development expenses to increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future as we continue to improve our product features and increase our portfolio of solutions. From time to time, our OEMs retain us to provide nonrecurring engineering services. Our OEMs reimburse us at contractually predetermined rates for the costs we incur to provide these services. We apply these cost reimbursements against research and development expense when acceptance occurs, which is generally upon cash receipt.
Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs for our sales, business development, marketing, applications engineering, executive, finance and human resources activities. Additionally, selling, general and administrative expenses include promotional and other marketing expenses, third-party sales representative commissions, travel, professional fees, depreciation and allocated overhead expenses. Professional fees principally consist of legal, audit, tax and accounting consultation services. We expect selling, general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future as we hire additional personnel, make improvements to our infrastructure and incur significant additional costs for the compliance requirements of operating as a public company, including the costs associated with public reporting, Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (Sarbanes-Oxley Act) requirements and insurance.
Other income (expense), net
Prior to our IPO, we classified our outstanding convertible preferred stock warrants as a liability on our balance sheet and recorded changes in their fair value from period to period in other income (expense), net. The convertible preferred stock warrants were exercised or became warrants to purchase common stock upon the closing of our IPO and the liability related to those warrants was reclassified as stockholders' equity.
Although a majority of our sales are outside of the United States, we incur a substantial majority of our expenses and receive all of our revenue in U.S. dollars. As a result, our foreign currency related expense and income are charged to this classification.
Income taxes
For all periods presented through December 31, 2011, we have not paid or incurred material income taxes due to our net operating loss carry forwards (NOLs) and tax credits in the United States, for which we have a full valuation allowance. Effective January 1, 2012, our new international structure became operational. Our effective tax rate in the periods presented on or after January 1, 2012 is the result of the mix of income earned in various tax jurisdictions that apply a broad range of income tax ranges. The rate at which the provision for income taxes is calculated also differs from the U.S. federal . . .

How Is North Korea Reacting to the Death of Kim Jong-Il?
Intense crying, test missiles, and sorting out succession.
Footage from North Korean state television following the death of "Dear Leader" Kim Jong-Il shows rows of men and women bowing before flags and statutes of the deceased, crying out, and banging the pavement in apparent agony. The military's moves in the immediate aftermath were less emotional: On Monday, North Korea test-fired a short-range missile from the east coast of the country toward South Korea. "This is something that the military has continued to follow, and we believe it is not related to the death of Chairman Kim Jong-il," said a South Korean government official. With its secretive dictator dead at the age of 69, North Korea now faces a strange plan for succession and diplomatic uncertainty around the world.
The ruling Workers' Party named Kim's youngest son, Kim Jong-un, "the great successor to the revolution" and "the eminent leader of the military and the people" in a statement after the announcement of its leader's death. Last fall, Kim Jong-un was celebrated by his father publicly as a future leader after being hidden nearly his whole life, and was instantly named a four-star general and vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party. "Under the leadership of our comrade Kim Jong-un, we have to turn sadness into strength and courage, and overcome today's difficulties," said the Workers' Party on Monday.
But as a successor, analysts doubt Kim Jong-un's preparedness — he's thought to be in his late twenties — and therefore the military's support for him. The Times reports that these perceived weaknesses "could make him vulnerable to power struggles." Max Fisher at Atlantic tallies up a few recent examples of possible undermining tactics:
Some analysts suspected that the out-of-nowhere shelling of a South Korean town in November 2010 was meant to consolidate power in the military, away from Kim Jong-Il's inexperienced son. Last December, a freight train carrying "birthday gifts" for Kim Jong-Un was derailed in a suspected attack; it's hard to imagine anyone outside of the military pulling something of that scale off. In February, North Korean state media published a photo of the young heir looking through a pair of binoculars he was holding upside down, which some Pyongyang-watchers suspected might have been a deliberate swipe at Kim Jong-Un.
The United States and China will doubtlessly be watching the hand-off of power closely. "We're entering a period that is especially dangerous," explained one expert at M.I.T. "Here is a young leader who may be distrusted by the military, and he has to prove himself," he said. "And that can lead to miscalculation and inadvertent war." Another expert, a former American military commander in South Korea, says the plans for succession will not be so easy as simply hoisting up Kim Jong-un. "Anyone who tells you they understand what is going to happen is either lying or deceiving himself," he said.
A scholar from the Korean Policy Institute is more optimistic: "[W]e can probably anticipate a smooth transition in terms of the political leadership," she told Al Jazeera, and that might include the forging of relations with the United States. She pointed to recent "steps towards de-nuclearisation and engagement," including a deal announced just before Kim Jong-Il's death that would send American aid in exchange for North Korea halting its uranium enrichment program. "They have set a three day period of mourning which is very dissimilar to the three-year-long mourning period for Kim Il-sung when he passed away," said the policy expert. "So I know they are very eager to move forward with dealing with the food crisis and making sure that the economic reforms that they set for 2012 be put into place."
North Korea is believed to have the capabilities to make at least eight nuclear weapons. A statement from the White House following the announcement said plainly, in part, "The President has been notified, and we are in close touch with our allies in South Korea and Japan." But as serious as the situation is, never underestimate the Internet's ability to focus on the jokes.

May 22, 2014 by Mike Reeves
It's not unusual to see the last name "Nixon" near the top of the standings in a bass tournament. But at the Walmart Bass Fishing League Arkie Division tournament at Lake Dardanelle on Feb. 22, the Nixon in the top five wasn't the one most fishing fans are accustomed to seeing show out at tournaments.
In his first career BFL event, Leland Nixon of Bee Branch, Ark., youngest brother of Chevy pro Larry Nixon, sacked an impressive 21-pound, 3-ounce limit to finish third, supporting the argument that bass fishing talent often runs in the family.
"There are three of us Nixon brothers," Leland says. "Larry is the oldest, then there's Donnie, who works as a fishing guide on Toledo Bend, and I'm the youngest - 13 years younger than Larry."
In the Nixon family, it seems that the love of bass fishing was developed early and nurtured often.
"My brothers are a lot older than me, but we all ended up with the bass bug," adds Leland. "Dad bought one of the first Rangers ever to come off the production floor in 1969, and Larry started guiding out of it right after Greers Ferry was flooded. When Larry got married and moved to Texas, dad let him take the Ranger with him. He guided for 365 straight days, sent Daddy all the money he made guiding to pay for the boat and Dad bought a new one."
"We [all three brothers] still get to fish with each other now and then, and we're really competitive about it - especially Larry," he adds. "If you get one up on him out of the back of the boat, you don't want to brag about it, or he'll back-boat you the rest of the day. You won't see any more fresh water."
The Nixon Guide Service
Leland, 50, has two children and is happily married to his wife of 30 years, Paula. He owns a heating and air-conditioning business and has fished his whole life, but didn't own a bass boat until five years ago.
"We had a small herd of cattle, and one day they knocked me to the ground," he says. "I decided right then that I was going to sell every one of them and buy myself a brand new bass boat."
Shortly after purchasing his boat, Leland began guiding on Greers Ferry, where he still guides today for walleyes and hybrids in early spring - and black bass at his clients' request. A couple of his career highlights include winning the 2010 Arkie Cup on Greers Ferry and pulling a 10.55-pound largemouth from the lake.
For more information on his guide service, visit his website.
Strong Start in the BFL
During the Dardenelle BFL tournament, Leland picked up on a subtlety that the other anglers in his area missed.
"I was fishing an enormous spawning flat, and cold water had pushed most of the fish out into deeper water," he says. "There were a bunch of competitors fishing out off of the bank, and as the day went on, I think the fishing pressure actually pushed those fish back to the bank. I was the only boat in my area to make the adjustment to move shallow."
He caught most of his fish by working a Strike King Sexy Shad spinnerbait through emergent lily pad stems in 1 1/2 feet of water. He credits his Power-Poles for allowing him to position the boat in the wind, and his Dobyns rod for handling the hard-fighting prespawners.
Leland followed up his high finish at Dardanelle with a 39th-place finish at Lake Ouachita and a 21st-place finish at Greers Ferry. He's currently fourth in the standings in the Arkie Division.
As for his mentors in the fishing industry, it's obvious who Leland would pick.
"Larry's always been my hero, and still is," Leland says. "He hasn't changed a bit from the time we were kids. He's just a great brother."

The study examines the resources related to science that African American young men learn and develop by playing a card game called Spades, a common cultural practice in African American communities that dates back to the Civil War Era. The qualitative study examines what the Spades players at a local high school consider when making decisions about what cards to play. A significant finding is that the players use, learn and develop resources such as the ability to make observations, draw inferences, and use empirical data to inform future actions and decisions. Such reasoning bears a resemblance to central practices of science and challenges long held deficit views of African American young men. Implications of the research findings are discussed.

Patient Comments: Henoch-Schonlein Purpura - Experience
Please describe your experience with henoch-schonlein purpura.
Comment from: Wil, 55-64 Male (Patient) Published: June 25
When I was nine years old I had my first bout with HSP. I had pulled up my pant leg to scratch an itch when my mother noticed the bright red dots on my leg, at first she thought I had colored on my leg with paint or something. After a further look at my legs she decided I hadn't. It started at my waist and went to my feet. At first there were no symptoms, but after a few hours waiting in a Military Hospital I was unable to bend my knees or walk forward, I could walk backwards, which I thought was funny, Mom did not. I was admitted to the children's ward (about twenty or so kids all in one big room) that night. I spent ten days in the hospital, two before being diagnosed with HSP, at the time they thought it was a reaction to penicillin, which I had been given a couple of weeks prior because of strep throat. I was the talk of the ward because of the HSP (I think every doctor in the hospital had a look at me) and because I had blood drawn twice a day( that impressed the rest of the kids because I let them do it without any fuss, no screaming or crying). It resolved it's self without treatment. They took photos of my legs everyday and said that someday they might be in a text book, so far none of the photos I have seen look like my legs. Since then I've never had penicillin, but have had two more bouts of HSP, one at age 35 and another when I was 41, never was able to determine a cause either time. Symptoms then were the rash but this time joint pain, abdominal pain, and blood in my urine. So far 15 years later have not had another episode, and have had no lasting problems.

I am 15 years old. Last year, I started getting back pains around my kidneys. Shortly after, I started getting these little red spots all over my legs. About a week later, I got food poisoning that lasted longer than it should have. I went to the doctor and at first they thought it was a UTI. After a week of being unable to even hold down water, I became very dehydrated and ended up in the hospital. Finally, I was diagnosed with HSP. I couldn't eat for the next week, and had unbearable stomach pains that had to be treated with morphine. I lost 20 pounds in two weeks and was not rid of HSP for two more months. I have scars from the spots all over my legs, and I still have stomach problems.
Comment from: 7-12 Female (Caregiver) Published: January 16
Both of my daughters had HSP when they were 6 and 7 years old. It started as what looked like small insect bites on their legs, then developed into large bruises. Their knees and ankles swelled, ran high fevers, were nauseated and generally very sick. The doctors said it was viral and was not contagious. My oldest got it first, and two weeks later, the younger one came down with it. They couldn't explain it, and still don't know what caused both of them to contract it.
Comment from: Sherry L, 35-44 Female (Caregiver) Published: September 26
My brother and I were seven when he came down with henoch-schonlein purpura (HSP). It was over 30 years ago and at that time, no one really knew what it was. The "rash" from his waist down looked like perfect round bruises with a red dot in the middle. The first hospital my parents took him to actually called child services because they thought he was being abused. Our family doctor knew better and suggested they take him to the children's hospital run by University. One doctor there knew what it was. There had only been two or three cases in the United States reported by this time. They thought HSP was a blood disease, but did not know how it occurred or how to fix it. It was a very long two weeks in the hospital, taking blood every few hours, and constantly checking his vitals. He was given a lot of steroids and antibiotics. He gained about 30 lbs. which took almost two years to get rid of. He's been okay ever since. The medical center used his case as study for over 20 years with all new interns.

My daughter was diagnosed with henoch-schonlein purpura (HSP) when she was in kindergarten. Her pediatrician didn't even know what she had. When I took her to the ER because she was in so much pain and her knees and ankles were so swollen, a medical resident recognized it right away. What is interesting is that I was told that this does not run in families, but my husband's brother's son was diagnosed with it when he was 13 and it caused kidney damage requiring a kidney transplant when he was 16, he is 41 now. He spoke with his doctor when we found out about my daughter and he was very surprised. We had to watch her kidney function for about a year and she did well. The only thing I think she still has from the Vasculitis is trouble with her ankles when she does a lot of walking. For the longest time she would tell me it felt like someone was banging on them. She is 13 now and doing well.
Comment from: klm, 7-12 Female (Patient) Published: September 05
I had HSP when I was in grade school, and I was so weak, I couldn't even hold a water bottle. I had the rashes on my legs, stomach aches and my lower back where my kidneys hurt. What was very odd was that considering this virus is so rare, one other girl in my grade had it at the exact time that I did, and I have wondered if there was something in the environment that triggered it with both of us. Overall, my experience was really interesting, and I am aware of this for myself and others in the future.

NJ Attorney Edward B. Deutsch to Be Honored by the American Conference on Diversity at Golf Classic
The American Conference on Diversity will honor Edward B. Deutsch, Esq., with the 2012 Thomas D. Sayles, Jr. Humanitarian Award at the Pro/Am Golf Classic September 6 at the Mountain Ridge Country Club in West Caldwell, NJ.
The event will take place at the Mountain Ridge Country Club in West Caldwell, NJ, one of the top 100 historic golf courses in the United States. Aligning with the American Conference on Diversity's mission of valuing diversity, educating leaders, and promoting respect, the club was founded in 1912 as a result of some community members being denied membership to a nearby country club because they were Jewish.
"We have been a long-time sponsor of this annual event and a long-time supporter of the American Conference on Diversity," says Michael L. Rodburg, Esq., Lowenstein Sandler PC, and a member of the American Conference on Diversity Board of Trustees. "The American Conference on Diversity Pro/Am Golf Classic not only provides the opportunity for networking with business leaders, but also provides a chance to play on a classic course, all while supporting a great cause."
Threesomes will play the championship course with a PGA Professional. Hole-in-one wins a cash prize or a golf vacation. The Diversity Pro/Am Golf Classic begins promptly at 12:15 p.m., with a lunch buffet beginning at 10:45 a.m. The outing is followed by an Awards Reception and cookout on the Terrace at 5:00 p.m.
This annual networking event is in tribute to the memory of Sayles, a golfer, philanthropist, and trustee emeritus of the conference.
Honoring Edward B. Deutsch, Esq.
Edward B. Deutsch is the Managing Partner of McElroy, Deutsch, Mulvaney & Carpenter, LLP a full-service law firm of more than 300 attorneys with ten offices in seven states, will be this year's honoree at the Diversity Pro/Am Golf Classic. A Certified Civil Trial Attorney, Mr. Deutsch has been a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers since 1992, a Fellow of the American Bar Foundation, and a Fellow of the International Society of Barristers. He is also Founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Somerset Hills Bank.
Mr. Deutsch chaired Governor Chris Christie's Department of Banking and Insurance Transition Sub-Committee, tasked with issue development, recommendations, and state appointments in both banking and insurance industries. He also accepted the nomination of Governor Christie to be one of two public members of the newly created Red Tape Commission chaired by Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno. In October 2011, he was ranked number 10 on the NJBIZ Power 50 Banking List of the 50 Most Powerful People in Banking.
"We are honored to be recognizing Edward Deutsch, someone who is committed to diversity and inclusion, and to bring together New Jersey professionals as they spend the day networking and raising funds for the important work of the American Conference on Diversity, fighting bias and prejudice and training tomorrow's leaders to build more inclusive communities,"
To reserve your threesome or for sponsorship opportunities, please contact Melissa Sandler, Director of Events, at 732-745-9330.

I am going to buy a couple of wingers, narrowed it down to ZWII G4, and Mini Z.

I agree, Yosemites are great for the buck.
Don't be too harsh on Bushnell, I have a pair of Elites that compete with almost anything out there.

I had good luck with Victor, but a pain to get in my area. Switched to Nutri-Source 6 weeks ago, feed a bit less with good results.
I have been using green wadded blanks in the one I have. Works way better than crimped. Loud!
Welcome to the other side. Great looking pup!
I have gone to all 3" DT's. They stay soft in the cold and I think the dogs are less apt to cigar or otherwise mess with the bigger dummy. I use a small hexagon for FF. Just my $.02.

Another vote for DT softmouth. Bought a dozen last year, as said by others stay soft even in bitter cold. I will buy more.
I have a ten+ year old 1200NCP. Always 30-40. This has been a great collar, only thing done to it has been one set of batteries.

Fletcher heats things up at Chili Cook-Off
Published: Sunday, January 9, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 8, 2005 at 9:45 p.m.
Residents of Fletcher gathered together for a 'hot' time in the Town Hall on Saturday during the fourth annual Fletcher Chili Cook-Off.
"Ooh, this is hot," said Hoopers Creek resident Doris Brackett as she gulped down a cup of water after taking a bite of savory chili handed to her in a paper cup. "Chili is supposed to be hot and boy, this stuff sure is."
People milled around a room where town councilmen usually meet that was transformed into a staging area for the event. Tables featured themes ranging from a western motif complete with a replica of a covered wagon to a special Carolina Panthers table. Judges and the public sampled chili in small cups from each of the 17 entrants in this year's competition.
Fletcher resident Peter Hemans had a goal of winning the best overall prize, he said. Ladling out the thick red chili from a big black pot, Hemans said he is always looking for something different in his culinary creations.
"I change the recipe every year," he said. "This year, I used raisins and last year I used corned beef. The year before that, it was ground round and Kielbasa (a type of sausage). You want it to have as unique a taste as possible."
The event provides a way for the Fletcher community to come together during the winter when things are slower, said Cristin Corder, with the Fletcher Parks and Recreation Department.
"It's a growing event -- this is only our fourth year and this room is packed so we may have to find some place bigger next year," she said, laughing. "We ask all the entrants to decorate their tables and the new thing this year is the public is going to judge who has the best table decoration. It's just a friendly competition and the whole idea is to have fun with it."
Winners in this year's Fletcher Chili Cook-Off were Jim (Tex) Coulter of Flat Rock -- Best Individual; Steve Mosley of Fletcher -- Honorable Mention; Sy Walker, Carolina Panthers Theme -- Best Table Decoration; and Rutledge Lake RV Park, Fletcher -- Best Overall.

Everything that has weight or mass and takes up space is called matter. Matter is the "stuff" in our world. Reach out and touch the nearest piece of furniture. That is matter. So are the clothes you are wearing, the hair on your head, and the air you are breathing.
When we learn about matter, we are learning about chemistry. Matter can be broken down into the smaller and smaller pieces to learn what it is made of. Let's take a look.

Photo Details
Mystery: This photo is of Violet Parker, a niece to Joseph Mullett who immigrated to Mass in 1888 and settled in Maine. Who is she? Who are her parents? Joseph had a sister, perhaps she is Violet's mother?
in United Kingdom
Susan Fryslie This photo looks very much like my great-grandmother.Her family came from Maine in the late 1890's, but her name is Bertha Jane Parker-Shurtleff. I have one picture of her at age 16. My grand father showed me a picture of her taken later. She is wearing the same thing. It is part of her Salvation Army uniform. Does the skirt go to her ankles? The picture he showed me, she has her hair braided. He was from Carver, Mass. He wrote letters to family members in Texas alot.
