Today's Range: $2.19-$2.47 52-Week Range: $2.01-$6.26 Volume: 161,000 Three-Month Average Volume: 139,955 >>5 Stocks With Big Insider Buying From a technical perspective, CDXS is ripping higher here off some near-term support at $2.20 with above average volume. This move is coming after CDXS recently plunged from $4 to a low of $2.01. During that slide lower, shares of CDXS were consistently making lower highs and lower lows, which is bearish technical price action. That said, CDXS has now rebounded off its recent low and it's quickly approaching a near-term breakout trade. That trade will hit once CDXS takes out some near-term overhead resistance at $2.55 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in CDXS once it sustains a move or close above $2.55 with volume that's near or above 139,955 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then CDXS will have a great chance of re-testing and possibly taking out its 50-day moving average of $3.08. Prev 3 of 5 Next

AUSTIN, TX -- Franklin High School has staked claim to another UIL State Tennis Championship after Kayla and Carrie Casey won the Girls' Doubles title with a 6-1, 6-2 win over Sierra Potts and Amy Henard of Brock Tuesday morning at the Penick-Allison Tennis Center.
Kayla and Carrie beat the Brock duo at the regional tournament 6-love, 6-love. The rematch wasn't as easy, but the defending 2A doubles champions were not going to be denied another state title.
It's certainly tough to beat a doubles team that is on the same page, and when they're sisters that just adds to the challenge.
"I feel like I know what she is thinking at all times," said Kayla Casey who completed a rare high school grand slam with her 4th state title in as many years. "If I see that they are going to slam it on one side I just automatically go to the other and she just knows to go get it and switch. We don't even have to say anything, we just know," ended Kayla.
"We know who is going to go where and I don't know it's kinda a sister thing maybe," added Carrie.
The bottom line is it works. While Kayla heads to Midwestern State with four state championships, it's two in a row for Carrie, who will switch to singles next year. Their older sister Kendra won three titles during her high school career. If you add those nine championships, to the singles title their mom, the former Nancy Ann Metcalfe won at Franklin High School in 1982, that's 10 state tennis championships and counting won by the Casey family.

Selling to the top
This Mercuri white paper looks at the challenging
subject of working with top managers.
The main focus is external, but we also cover working with senior leaders within the business.
People talk a lot about "selling to the C Suite" and the
selling blogs are full of "slick tricks" to help product
pushing salespeople fight their way onto "Rosewood
Row". Some of these approaches have their place but
it's not the whole, or even the right story. We are going
to look at some of the realities, challenge some of the
myths and come up with practical solutions.

Wine Maker Notes
Meiomi (May-oh-mee) is a Pinot Noir, that gets its fruit from the most noteworthy coastal areas in California. The wine is crafted, lush, balanced and luxurious. Three of the California's most sought after coastal growing regions brilliantly meld together in this deeply flavored, stylish and truly balanced Pinot Noir; at its most fundamental core, it is an approachable, food friendly wine with a style and place all its own.
Technical Notes
This wine is from United States, California region, Sonoma County sub-region. Deep garnet color. Luxurious and dynamic aromas of ripe strawberry, bright cherry and faint notes of spicy oak and vanilla. The complexity of the palate smoothly layers rich red currant notes and baking spice flavors with light smoke, earth and leather. A balanced, velvety texture and supple tannins carry the wine through to a lingering, succulent finish. PINOT NOIR Wine

Inglot AMC Foundation
I'll keep this review short and sweet. So, my cousin was the first person to introduce me to the Inglot brand a few years ago. As she was a die hard MAC makeup lover, I figured Inglot had to be worth trying as she sang its praises, especially for offering great shades for darker skin.
The first product I tried from the brand was their AMC Pressed Powder. It was a silky, flawless, lightweight, gorgeouse finnish. Only problem was, i'd pickt up a darker shade than my actual tone. Oh well, what i did learn was that for powders, you can go up a shade.
Olympia Beauty Exhibition 2015
Inglot had a stand at the exhibition and all their products where 30% discount. I picket up two items. AMC Cream foundation in colour DW 300, which is a light mahogany (there are two tones darker than this one) and their Sleek Cream lipgloss shade 94 (which has a lovely vanilla scent).
The foundation is one of the best I have used. I have particularly dry skin and have found some foundations, however good, end up feeling dry on my skin. this one firstly does not feel like you are wearing anything, and secondly feels like its hydrating the skin. It gives a dewy finnish that would not be suitable for those with oily skin and gives a medium coverage. A great pic and a bargain at £13. Lipgloss was £7

Chances were few and far between throughout the 90 minutes with neither side able to dictate proceedings at any stage of the match, and it finished goalless.
Butcher said: "It's two great points for the Highlands - a point for us, a point for them.
"It keeps up moving up. We've got four games to go (before the split) and we are five points ahead of some of the other teams, that's a lot of points.
"The result was pretty fair too, neither team deserved to lose. Had Ross County scored at the start of the second half I wouldn't have grumbled as they were on top for the first 20, 25 minutes, but we changed it around and finished strongly."
Butcher was left to lament his team being denied a second-half spot-kick.
Graeme Shinnie was booked in the 79th minute when he was adjudged to have dived in the box under pressure from Evangelos Oikonomou.
"Graeme Shinnie is adamant it is a penalty," Butcher said. "That now gets him suspended. But in the end it was a typical 0-0. I thought both teams were fully committed and showed a great attitude."

ATLANTA (AP) - Organizers say the Georgia Aquarium's annual gala fundraiser will probably only make about half the amount that was originally expected.
Organizers for Thursday's "Aqua Vino" gala expect to raise $50,000.
Attendance at the event, which costs between $150 and $200 per person.
Money raised by the gala goes toward the aquarium's veterinarian fees.
Aquarium spokesman Dave Santucci said the gala, which was planned before the economy took a nosedive, was originally expected to draw more people than last year.

BEIJING -- The U.S. envoy to six-nation talks on North Korea's nuclear program said he would hold a rare one-on-one meeting with his North Korean counterpart before the talks.
Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill said he would meet North Korea's envoy this afternoon before the full round of talks opens Tuesday after a gap of more than a year.
"We are just trying to get acquainted, review how we see things coming up and compare notes," Hill told reporters. Referring to Tuesday's talks, he said, "We are looking forward to working hard and trying to make some progress."
He did not say what progress Washington hopes to make.
The talks also include host China, South Korea Russia and Japan.

Thirty-six-year-old John Bradley Limes and 35-year-old Leslie Lea King were in Chambers County court Friday in connection with the death of 59-year-old Kathlene Lucile Landino.
Authorities say Landino was found dead Nov. 23 by her son in their home.
Authorities say she died from head trauma and her throat had been cut.
Prosecutors say Limes and King attempted to steal a purse, laptop, cell phone, 12-gauge shotgun, security box and several DVDs belonging to Landino.
King is the estranged wife of Landino's son.
Limes is being held in the Randolph County Jail, and King in the Chambers County Jail.

That would be an 8 percent increase over the previous record crop in 2012, The Capital Press reported Tuesday.
The forecast is based on estimates from growers, packers and marketers.
"This is pretty much what a lot of folks expected so it's not a surprise and the industry is prepared," said Jon DeVaney, executive director of the Yakima Valley Growers-Shippers Association, which released the forecast Friday with the Wenatchee Valley Traffic Association.
"We expect it to be a good year," DeVaney said.
The increased crop size is due to more new, high-density plantings coming into production, said Bruce Grim, executive director of the Washington State Horticultural Association and manager of apple, pear and cherry marketing associations.
Moving this size of crop "definitely will be a challenge," said Desmond O'Rourke, a retired Washington State University agricultural economist and consultant.
Downward price pressure could hit East Coast apple producers more because they have older varieties and consumers like the Washington varieties, he said.
Washington was able to maintain strong prices with its big crop in 2012 because New York, Michigan, Europe, Canada and Mexico all had lighter crops, O'Rourke said.
New York and Michigan will be a bit light and late this season, Grim said. That will be an advantage for Washington, allowing it to establish early momentum with retailers since its crop is about a week early, Grim said.
It helps, O'Rourke noted, that Gala and Honeycrisp are early Washington varieties and popular with consumers.
As of Aug. 1, there were 8 million boxes of Washington's 2013 apple crop left to sell. That should be enough to dovetail with the new crop, said Dan Kelly, assistant manager of Washington Growers Clearing House Association.

Love the ease of one-pot meals, and this was no exception. I reduced the amount of cinnamon to 1/4 teaspoon, but otherwise made as listed. The feta cheese adds just the right flavor and creaminess to this dish.
Loved that it used ingredients usually found in my home. (my DH is a feta cheese nut) Made exactly as directed. Next time I will use maybe just 1/4 tsp of cinnamon, increase the feta to 1 cup and add some more spice (salt, more garlic). My family really likes garlic.
Fantastic! I'm adding this to my regular line-up of quick, easy and delicious dinners! I followed the recipe exactly other than substituting ground turkey for the beef. Next time I'll use more feta, but that's because we love feta!

300 poets take to PoemCityJeb Wallace-Brodeur / Staff Photo
PoemCity organizers Rachel Senechal, left, Sarah Adelman and Phayvanh Luekhaman, right, sort through some of the 300-plus poems on Friday that will be displayed at 98 venues in Montpelier for the month of April. See a partial schedule on page A3.
Montpelier offers itself up to the muses for the month of April when it transforms itself into PoemCity, the fourth annual celebration of all things verse that includes readings, slams, roundtables, workshops, songfests and an heroic window show that will fill the downtown with with the work of hundreds of Vermont poets.
There are 300 poets in 98 locations, said Rachel Senechal, program director at the Kellogg-Hubbard Library which co-sponsors the event with MontpelierAlive.
Readers can stop and and read, and then move on. We had one person who walked through the streets and was so transformed by the poems they actually wrote a poem about it. The whole month really is magical.
The deadline for submitting poems for the window show closed in February. The poems were then read by a group of diligent volunteer readers who plowed through more than 500 manuscripts according to Senechal. Each poet may submit up to three pieces, and is guaranteed that at least one will be posted. The installation is ephemeral and lasts only for the month although there has been some thought given over to perhaps publishing an anthology.
We really see this as an event to bring people downtown, said Phayvanh Luekhamhan, director of the citys homegrown booster and events organization.
A list of Vermont writers contributing to the month long celebration features luminaries like former poet laureate Ellen Voigt, who will kick off the celebration at a Monday evening reading at the Statehouse. Then there are local favorites like Diane Swan, Cora Brooks, Verandah Porche and Charles Barasch. The fourth-graders at Union Elementary School will take over the childrens room and Bear Pond Books, and other Montpelier students will fill the windows of the Rite Aid with poems about the city itself. Geoff Hewitt, who became the state slam champion in 2004, and has yet to relinquish his crown, will host a poetry slam at the library, and as with each year, there will be a celebration of Robert Frost.
This is a good occasion to celebrate Frost, said Peter Gilbert, director of the Vermont Humanities Council, and executor of the late poets estate. It is the 50th anniversary of his death. He certainly does have a special place in Vermont and is probably considered the consummate Yankee. One of his early books was entitled North of Boston, he had come upon a sign that said real estate for sale land north of Boston. He felt that saying really said something to him.
Bear Pond Books, which will host a series of four readings throughout the month including the 16th annual Open Poetry Reading that will close out the festivities on April 30th. Poets get five minutes and must sign up in advance, The sign up sheet goes up on Monday.
It wont fill up on the first day, but if fills up fast, said Claire Benedict one of the Bear Pond owners.
New this year is a collaboration with students at the Summit School of Traditional Music. Students and teachers from the school will turn the submitted poems of lucky poets into songs and perform them at the Kellogg-Hubbard Library.
This is a first this year, said Senechal. I cant wait to hear the songs. I really think there is something about Vermont that inspires so many and that is what this is really about, finding the poet in each of us.

Hey all,
I just made the switch to 3.0 and I have a couple questions I could use help with. I want to preface this by saying that I'm currently working on a magazine layout, and would like to replace using custom fields for my thumbnails and featured images with another method (WP feature, plugin, what have you).
I guess my first question is this. Is there any way to change the crop height of the post featured image? To be honest, I haven't done too much digging around and would appreciate any help you guys have.
My second question is as follows. Is there a non-plugin way to include several image inclusion boxes on the post creation page (ie. post thumbnail, featured image, etc)? If not, can anyone recommend any good plugins that accomplish this?
Thanks for your time everybody. I'm really digging 3.0 by the way. Thanks WordPress team and volunteers!

Stayed for 2 nights at this hotel in October 2012 and overall was satisfied. The hotel has excellent central location (but on a busy street!) and its own car parking (EUR 10 per night), which was very handy.
We stayed in 2 different rooms (at the beginning and the end of our trip) and the rooms do seem to vary in size quite a bit. The 1st room was on thne 4th floor and was rather small, although clean. The 2nd room was on the 1st floor and was much bigger. Both rooms were fine, though. There is a fridge in every room and tea/coffee making facilities, which I like, especially when you check out at 6 am and there is no breakfast availiable yet. My main issue was breakfast: too many sweet baked goods and but no fruit or any fresh juice. Not a good option if you are vegan or vegertarian. Adding fresh fruit to the breakfast menu or fresh fruit salad would definitely improve the experience. Good hotel for a short stay.

News Analysis; Case Closed, Not Resolved
By WILLIAM GLABERSON
Published: September 23, 2002
The Abner Louima case ended on Saturday night without resolving one of the biggest questions of the five-year legal ordeal: the identity of the second officer in the Brooklyn police station bathroom where Officer Justin A. Volpe redefined police brutality on an August morning in 1997.
The sentencing agreement that will send another former officer, Charles Schwarz, to prison, for a maximum of five years for perjury, included no admission that Mr. Schwarz was, as prosecutors long charged, the officer who restrained Mr. Louima while Mr. Volpe sodomized him with a broken broomstick. But it also prohibits Mr. Schwarz from continuing to proclaim his innocence publicly.
The Louima case always carried with it unrealistic hopes that it could expose the truth about racism in New York, police brutality and the law enforcement brotherhood that critics say fosters a blue wall of silence.
To some extent it succeeded: Mr. Volpe is serving a 30-year prison sentence. But the Saturday night deal was also a reminder of how the haze of lies and faulty memories surrounding the events in the case benefited some officers who were pursued by prosecutors and how ill-equipped the legal system is to answer questions for history. Explaining the deal yesterday, the chief prosecutor, Alan Vinegrad, acknowledged that after the exhausting legal battle, prosecutors had worried about the chance that Mr. Schwarz's fourth trial, which had been scheduled to begin today, could have ended in an acquittal or a hung jury.
''There were risks of not getting the verdict that we wanted,'' he said in an interview. So Mr. Vinegrad accepted the deal, although he did not get what he had long sought: an admission from Mr. Schwarz that he had participated in the attack.
Mr. Schwarz's chief lawyer, Ronald P. Fischetti, failed in the goal he had set of proving that Mr. Schwarz is innocent. He settled for the conclusion that the prosecution never proved that Mr. Schwarz was guilty of taking part in the attack.
So after five years of courtroom warfare, the deal represented a draw on what became the most important question of the case after Mr. Volpe pleaded guilty: Was Mr. Schwarz the second officer in the bathroom?
The law requires that prosecutors prove their cases beyond a reasonable doubt. An anonymous juror from one of Mr. Schwarz's previous trials told Pacifica Radio this year that some officers used that lofty concept to sabotage the investigation. In the interview, the juror said that the officers wanted ''to throw smoke and dust in the eyes of the investigators, plant enough reasonable doubt in the record so a jury wouldn't be able to find anybody other than Volpe guilty of anything.''
None of the officers who were charged in the case ever acknowledged that. But Mr. Schwarz's plea agreement showed how the reasonable doubt requirement can be a wedge against prosecutors.
After they won reversals of two prior convictions of Mr. Schwarz, his defense lawyers succeeded in getting a deadlock at his trial in July. They persuaded at least one juror that Mr. Schwarz was not guilty on three charges, including the two civil rights charges that would have been part of the trial that was scheduled to begin this morning.
In preparation for the new trial, the biggest weapon Mr. Fischetti had in negotiating with the prosecutors was their fear that he might be able to win over just one juror. Both he and Mr. Vinegrad agreed in interviews yesterday that if the new trial had led to yet another hung jury, the government would not have mounted another prosecution of Mr. Schwarz.
''We would not have tried him a fifth time,'' Mr. Vinegrad said, ''because at a certain point the criminal justice system has to recognize that the system has played itself out.''
That meant Mr. Fischetti did not have to try for acquittal by 12 jurors. ''What I needed to do in this trial,'' Mr. Fischetti said yesterday, ''was convince one person out of 12 that there was a reasonable doubt, and that would end the prosecution of Charles Schwarz.''
Such stances are often part of negotiations, and in Mr. Schwarz's case there were many issues that could be used as ammunition in the psychological maneuvering. Yesterday, Mr. Vinegrad and Mr. Fischetti differed, for example, on what sentence Mr. Schwarz might have faced on the single perjury count had there been no agreement and had the prosecution failed to convict on the other three charges.
Mr. Vinegrad contended that he might have gotten far less than the five-year sentence. That would make the deal a victory for prosecutors. Mr. Fischetti asserted that Mr. Schwarz would have received five years, which was the maximum. Under the deal, he said, Mr. Schwarz may be free after less than three years. That would suggest that he had outbargained Mr. Vinegrad.
Each side acknowledged the risks of a new trial. For the defense, the possibility of a conviction on all counts would have subjected Mr. Schwarz to a sentence of 15 years. For the prosecution, the possibility of ending up without a conviction would have been an embarrassment and an invitation to supporters of Mr. Schwarz to harshly criticize the federal prosecutors' office in Brooklyn.

I plan to surprise my 20 year old son, who has type 2 diabetes, with a three day snowmobiling trip this January. We have done various summer outdoor events together, but this will be our first winter event. We will return to a hotel each night. Any special items he needs to be aware of in the cold?

Being outside in cold weather can burn a lot more calories than everday activities, and that means a lot of carbs too. A person might need to eat double or more the calories they usually eat if they stay outside for hours at a time in subzero weather. Definitely carry snacks like bars or raisins in those snowmobile suit pockets.
If he wants to be able to test outside, he should keep his meter and strips in a pocket INSIDE the suit.
"Molly" (aka mollythed)
Type 2 diabetes diagnosed in 1995, now managed with Lantus, Novolog and Metformin; diet and exercise.
My late husband had diabetes. My three adult sons also have type 2 diabetes.
Wow.....what a fun thing to do with your son. We went snowmobiling last year and as Molly says....keep his meter inside his coat or even his shirt...next to his body. The only problem I had was that one of the other guys broke down and we had to wait for a truck, my feet and hands were really cold ( we sat with our snowmobiles off so No heated handles or seats for an hour), so the next time out we took the hand warmers and boot warmers.....made a huge difference. We also took hot soup and lots of snacks the second time because for some reason I was very hungry during the ride.
Good Luck to you....................................See ya..............................Big Red.........................Peace

State Laws Hinder Obamacare Effort to Enroll Uninsured
President Barack Obama has set aside $67 million to make it easier to enroll in his health-care overhaul. Laws pushed by Republicans in 12 states may keep that from happening.
Under the Affordable Care Act, the U.S. government plans to pay a network of local groups known as navigators to explain the law's new coverage options to the uninsured and guide them through its online insurance markets.
New laws passed by a dozen Republican-led states, the latest in Missouri last month, may make that harder, imposing licensing exams, fines that can run as high as $1,000 and training that almost doubles the hours required by the federal government. Republicans say the measures will protect consumers. Obamacare supporters say they'll undermine the effort to get as many people as possible enrolled.
The rules are "like voter intimidation," said Sara Rosenbaum, a health law professor at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., who supports Obama's act. "In many, many cases these laws may be a direct interference with outreach assistance and that's going to be quite serious."
The Obama administration awarded 105 grants last week, steering money to hospitals, social-service agencies, local clinics and other groups. The navigators are meant to offer "unbiased information" to help people through the complexities of the new system, with its deductibles, copays, provider networks and tax credits, according to an Aug. 15 statement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
October Deadline
The grants were issued barely a month before the online exchanges are scheduled to open for enrollment on Oct. 1. The administration has said about 7 million people may enroll next year and it needs to motivate millions of young, healthy customers to sign up to keep the markets financially stable.
The state laws may complicate that task. The restrictions go farthest in a handful of states like Georgia and Missouri, where Republican legislators have already refused to set up the new insurance websites or spend money to promote the law.
In Florida this week, Governor Rick Scott told a Miami audience that federal privacy protections for consumers working with navigators were "behind schedule and inadequate." He urged people to use brokers and agents instead.
Georgia Governor Nathan Deal, a Republican, believes navigators need state regulation because they'll give advice on "a highly complicated and highly important topic," his spokesman, Brian Robinson, said in an e-mail. They will also handle personal information that is open to abuse.
Consumer Protection
"This is a consumer protection issue more than anything," said Kenneth Statz, an insurance broker on the legislative council of the National Association of Health Underwriters, a Washington-based group representing agents and brokers. "We just want to make sure that somebody who is sitting down with a consumer, trying to help them make this major decision, is going to be properly prepared."
The state laws have passed with the backing of insurance agents and brokers, who view the online exchanges as competition and navigators as potential rivals with an unfair advantage absent new rules.
States require agents to be licensed and undergo periodic training, said Statz, who's based in Brecksville, Ohio. He also has to carry insurance to protect clients who may be hurt by bad advice or malpractice, he said.
The 2010 law is intended to prod millions of Americans to buy health insurance, many for the first time. Those seeking coverage must provide details on citizenship, family size and income to determine whether they're eligible for subsidies, and complete a form that can stretch to seven pages.
Federal Requirements
While states controlled by Democrats such as Maryland, New York, Minnesota and Illinois have also passed rules, these generally follow federal requirements, said Mark Dorley, a health-policy researcher at George Washington University.
Other states have been more restrictive.
Georgia's navigators need a license from the insurance commissioner. Each person assisting the uninsured has to pay a $50 application fee, complete 35 hours of training -- 15 more than the federal requirement -- pass an exam, and complete a criminal background check. Licenses must be renewed every year, requiring another $50 and 15 more hours of training.
Missouri defines navigators more broadly than the federal government, said Andrea Routh, executive director of the Missouri Health Advocacy Alliance in Jefferson City. Violating certification requirements risks a $1,000 fine.
Seeking License
Routh's group, which seeks to educate people on the health law, didn't apply for a grant. It may seek a license just to be safe, she said.
"Anyone who does outreach and education, or anybody who assists anyone with enrollment had better be checking that law to see if they need to be licensed," she said.
Missouri voters approved a ballot initiative last year barring Governor Jay Nixon, a Democrat, from setting up the exchange without the assent of the Republican-controlled legislature, which has declined to act so far.
The rules may scare off churches, clinics or others who want to help, said Cindy Zeldin, executive director of Georgians for a Healthy Future. The Atlanta-based nonprofit was part of a group that won a $2.1 million grant.
Georgia's law implies "navigators are somehow problematic," she said in a telephone interview, "rather than that they're groups that likely have a history of working in communities and are trusted."
'In Conversations'
The Obama administration has been "in conversations with states" to ensure their laws don't hinder the effort, said Chiquita Brooks-Lasure, a deputy director at the federal health department, in an Aug. 15 conference call with reporters.
The federal law doesn't require background checks, though navigators must provide quarterly reports and can lose their grants in cases of fraud or abuse. The administration is requiring them to undergo an initial 20 hours of training.
Some people opposed to Obama's overhaul "want to see it fail," said Missouri Health's Routh. "If you put a lot of barriers in place that make it tough for nonprofits to go out and educate people and assist them in understanding the exchange, that may be one way to have it fail."

New sysadmin here, managing a CentOS server. This past week has been one of the most exciting weeks of my career, and full of learning all sorts of new things. Today I have another task though, and that is to make sure our server can handle more than what our old shared-hosting was capable of.
We were originally limited to 200 concurrent connections on our GoDaddy shared-hosting. Eventually we out-grew this (usually during campaigns/marketing events) and moved on to a Virtual Dedicated Server. I'm assuming the number of connections would be handled by Apache.
What configurations should I be mindful of in order to allow more traffic in?


text: Synergy Pharmaceuticals Another stock in the biotechnology and drugs complex that's setting up for a major breakout trade is Synergy Pharmaceuticals ( SGYP), which focuses primarily on the development of drugs to treat gastrointestinal disorders and diseases in the U.S. This stock is off to a decent start in 2012, with shares up over 30% so far. If you take a look at the chart for Synergy Pharmaceuticals, you'll notice that this stock has been trending sideways for the last month and change, with shares moving between $4.30 on the downside and $5.24 on the upside. This sideways trend has been keeping SGYP above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is technically bullish price action. This trend has also started to coil up SGYP into a tight range, which is often what we see before a stock makes a powerful breakout. Market players should now look for long-biased trades in SGYP once it manages to take out some near-term overhead resistance levels at $5 to $5.24 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that tracks in close to or above its three-month average action of 229,859 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, SGYP could make a powerful move and possibly re-test its May high of $7.08 a share. One can look to buy SGYP off any weakness and anticipate that breakout, and simply use a stop that sits right below some near-term support at $4.30 a share. One could also buy off strength once SGYP takes out $5 to $5.24 a share with high volume, and then simply use a stop at around $4.70 a share. Prev 2 of 6 Next

Theories of skilled performance that emphasize training history, such as K. Anders Ericsson and colleagues' deliberate-practice theory, have received a great deal of recent attention in both the scientific literature and the popular press. Twin studies, however, have demonstrated evidence for moderate-to-strong genetic influences on skilled performance. Focusing on musical accomplishment in a sample of over 800 pairs of twins, we found evidence for gene–environment correlation, in the form of a genetic effect on music practice. However, only about one quarter of the genetic effect on music accomplishment was explained by this genetic effect on music practice, suggesting that genetically influenced factors other than practice contribute to individual differences in music accomplishment. We also found evidence for gene–environment interaction, such that genetic effects on music accomplishment were most pronounced among those engaging in music practice, suggesting that genetic potentials for skilled performance are most fully expressed and fostered by practice.

Material selection
Material selection is a step in the process of designing any physical object. In the context of product design, the main goal of material selection is to minimize cost while meeting product performance goals.[1] Systematic selection of the best material for a given application begins with properties and costs of candidate materials. For example, a thermal blanket must have poor thermal conductivity in order to minimize heat transfer for a given temperature difference.
Systematic selection for applications requiring multiple criteria is more complex. For example, a rod which should be stiff and light requires a material with high Young's modulus and low density. If the rod will be pulled in tension, the specific modulus, or modulus divided by density , will determine the best material. But because a plate's bending stiffness scales as its thickness cubed, the best material for a stiff and light plate is determined by the cube root of stiffness divided by density . For a stiff beam in bending the material index is .
Ashby plots[edit]
An Ashby plot, named for Michael Ashby of Cambridge University, is a scatter plot which displays two or more properties of many materials or classes of materials.[2] These plots are useful to compare the ratio between different properties. For the example of the stiff/light part discussed above would have Young's modulus on one axis and density on the other axis, with one data point on the graph for each candidate material. On such a plot, it is easy to find not only the material with the highest stiffness, or that with the lowest density, but that with the best ratio . Using a log scale on both axes facilitates selection of the material with the best plate stiffness .
The first plot on the right shows density and Young's modulus, in a linear scale. The second plot shows the same materials attributes in a log-log scale. Materials families (polymers, foams, metals, etc.) are identified by colors.[3]
Thus as energy prices have increased and technology has improved, automobiles have substituted increasing amounts of light weight magnesium and aluminium alloys for steel, aircraft are substituting carbon fiber reinforced plastic and titanium alloys for aluminium, and satellites have long been made out of exotic composite materials.
Of course, cost per kg is not the only important factor in material selection. An important concept is 'cost per unit of function'. For example, if the key design objective was the stiffness of a plate of the material, as described in the introductory paragraph above, then the designer would need a material with the optimal combination of density, Young's modulus, and price. Optimizing complex combinations of technical and price properties is a hard process to achieve manually, so rational material selection software is an important tool.
A common method for choosing an appropriate material is an "Ashby chart". By plotting a performance index for a specific case of loading on the Ashby chart, a material with maximum performance can be selected. The performance index takes into consideration the dimensional constraints, material constraints, and free variable constraints of a specific application. The following example will show the how to come up with the performance index and how to plot and interpret the Ashby chart.
This example will take into consideration a beam that will undergo two different loads with the goal of minimizing weight. The first load is a beam in tension. Figure 1 illustrates this loading.
The parameters for the beam can be organized into categories. These categories are material variables, which include density, modulus, and yield stress, free variables which are variables that can change during the loading cycle, for example applied force. The final category is design variables which usually are a limit of how thick the beam can be, how much it can deflect, or any other limiting factor for the specific application.
For this loading cycle, the stress in the beam is measured as , where is the load and is the cross sectional area. The weight is measure as , where is the density, and is the length. By looking at the equation, we see that for a fixed length of , the material variables are and . There is one free variable, , and a variable that needs to be minimized, .
In order to find the performance index, an equation for w in terms of fixed and material variables needs to be found. This means that the variable A has to somehow be replaced. By rearranging the axial stress equation, can be represented as . Substituting this into the weight equation, , gives an equation for weight that has only fixed and material variables.
The next step is to separate the material variables from all other variables and constants. The equation becomes . Since the goal is to minimize weight, the material variables have to be minimized. This means that has to be minimized, or the inverse equation, has to be maximized. We call the equation that needs to be maximized our performance index. . It is important to note that the performance index is always an equation that needs to be maximized, so inverting an equation that needs to be minimized is necessary.
The performance index can then be plotted on the Ashby chart by converting the equation to a log scale. This is done by taking the log of both sides, and plotting it similar to a line with being the y-axis intercept. This means that the higher the intercept, the higher the performance of the material. By moving the line up the Ashby chart, the performance index gets higher. Each materials the line passes through, has the performance index listed on the y-axis. So, moving to the top of the chart while still touching a region of material is where the highest performance will be.
The next loading cycle will have a different performance index with a different equation. For example, if it is desired to maximize this beam for bending, using the max tensile stress equation of bending , where is the bending moment, is the distance from the neutral axis, and is the moment of inertia. This is shown in Figure 2. Using the weight equation above and solving for the free variables, the solution arrived at is , where is the length and is the height of the beam. This turns the material performance index into .
By plotting the two performance indices on the same Ashby chart, the maximum performance index of both loading types together will be at the intercept of the two lines. This is shown in figure 3
As seen from figure 3 the two lines intercept near the top of the graph at Technical ceramics and Composites. This will give a performance index of 120 for tensile loading and 15 for bending. When taking into consideration the cost of the engineering ceramics, especially because the intercept is around the Boron carbide, this would not be the optimal case. A better case with lower performance index but more cost effective solutions is around the Engineering Composites near CFRP.

Tag: Solar Energy - Page 12
IBM solar collector magnifies sun by 2,000x (without cooking itself), costs 3x less than similar systems
Concentrating the sun's ray onto solar photovoltaic (PV) modules requires walking the fine line between optimizing power output and not literally melting your very expensive super-high-efficiency solar cells.
Solar power accounted for 100% of new energy on U.S. grid in March 2013
According to the latest data from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), March 2013 was a very special month for the U.S. power grid. For the first time ever, all of the new capacity added came from solar power.
Suntech stock up almost 50% on Warren Buffett buyout rumors
If there's one way to describe Buffett, it's "bargain hunter". When people are running away from something, Buffett usually goes in the opposite direction and takes a look to see if there isn't a quality undervalued asset that he could buy.
All solar efficiency breakthroughs since 1975 on a single chart
The National Center for Photovoltaics (NCPV), which is part of the U.S. National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL), maintains a chart that shows efficiency records for all kinds of research solar technologies, from more vanilla to very exotic flavors.
Solar power has reached grid parity in India and Italy
A recent Deutsche Bank report concludes that solar power has now reached grid parity in Italy and India, and that by next year even more countries will reach parity.
Online solar marketplace is like an eBay for solar
A new online market platform is connecting existing solar projects and people that have solar panels (or space to install them) with investors who want to fund them.
300,000 mirrors: World's largest thermal solar plant (377MW) under construction in the Mojave
The scale of this concentrating solar power plant is awe-inspiring. Hundreds of thousands of mirrors are used to focus solar energy unto giant towers, generating clean electricity via steam turbines.
Apple now uses renewable energy for 75% of its needs
It now states that is uses 100% renewable energy for its data centers and 75% for its needs overall, up from 35% in 2010.
World's largest solar panel maker SunTech falls into bankruptcy
Chinese solar giant SunTech Power Holdings defaulted on some bonds that were due on March 15th, which made its creditors push it into bankruptcy.
World's tallest solar tower (750 feet) to be erected in California... Twice
Brightsource and Abengoa are currently working on a 500 megawatts concentrated solar project in California that would be composed of twin 250-megawatt units with what should be the tallest solar towers in the world.
World's largest concentrated solar power station (100 MW) begins operations in Abu Dhabi
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) are best known for oil and gas, but the region is also home to interesting developments in renewable energy.

How does IBM's university recruiting process work? How do students apply?
IBM recruits at top programs throughout the US. On campus in Fall and Spring, students can find us at career fairs and info sessions, leading classroom discussions, participating in student organization events, and so on.
We typically conduct first-round interviews on campus. Second rounds, for competitive students, may take place at one of our office locations. For candidates who apply online at ibm.com/start, know that IBM does review ALL applications and will reach out and interview candidates we think may make a strong fit. We welcome any and all candidates to apply through our Web site.
What to expect in an interview
IBM uses behavioral-style interviewing and in some instances (i.e., consulting) case interviews — these help us learn what students have accomplished, what skills they possess, and how deep their experience goes.
IBM hiring managers absolutely want to hear about a candidate's career goals too. It's not about hiring for one role per se, but how an individual can fit in with IBM long term.
Even though IBM can offer students positions in many functional areas (i.e., technical, finance, marketing, sales, consulting, management, etc.), it's important for a candidate to have a strong idea of what type of role they are looking for.
Stating generic interests will not get you very far. A candidate should demonstrate that they have done their homework. We want to see a candidate prepared to explain how their skills and experience will benefit our company and make short and long term impacts. Most importantly — be excited about your career ambitions! We love enthusiasm.

I'm customizing the Desktop Chaos theme. The original theme used html text for the blog title, bit I wanted to use a logo. There was no header graphic (header is built into a large background image - that goes behind content area AND header)
I added an invisible gif to the section of the stylesheet css and then added the following code (taken from a site that has clickable header) to make that area clickable...
<div id="blog-title .title" onclick="location.href='http://thejordanpease.com/test/';" style="cursor: pointer;">
but it made the WHOLE PAGE clickable, not just the "blog-title .title" area. Although other buttons work fine, clicking in the search box sets it off - which disables search.
