To give you bundles of fab fabrics to choose from, we work with some of the best suppliers in the business including Romo, Designers Guild, Ian Mankin and many more cloth gurus from around the world. Decisions, decisions...
House fabric
House fabric
These are lovely natural cotton/linen fabrics we buy in bulk directly from the best mills. We try to always keep in stock any beds and headboards (but not sofas!) covered in these fabrics.
For sofas:
-Thatch: these are made from natural linen and viscose fabric with a lovely feel made specially for Loaf by one of England's remaining mills
-Cobble: this easy-going house fabric is a light mottled grey. This neutral fabric is available on all of our sofas, armchairs, loveseats & footstools. It's made from 43% linen, 29% cotton, 19% viscose & 9% polyester.
For beds:
-Natural cotton linen mix: An elegant cotton linen fabric whose neutral tone goes with pretty much all surroundings
-Natural linen: A really lovely natural linen fabric
- Durability It'll break in very nicely and soon have a lovely, lived-in feel
French Stripe
French Stripe
An old French stripe milled in the North of England, this relaxed ticking delivers that lived-in feel in one laid-back hit.
- Composition 67% viscose 33% linen
- Durability A little hardier than our 100% linens, this sturdy fabric will become softer the more it's loved!
- Rub Count 33,000
Vintage Rose
Vintage Rose
Specially designed for those who want that look of faded grandeur. Quietly understated, this relaxed linen has a subtle, time-worn floral which purrs rather than shouts.
- Composition 100% linen
- Durability This linen will loosen up after your first sit for a lovely, vintage-y feel
- Rub Count 20,000
Plain Genius Linen
Plain Genius Linen
100% Belgian linen is popped through a press several times in Dorset on the lowest setting to give a light and beautifully uneven colour. Comes in a palette of colours that sit incredibly well together. Genius!
- Composition 100% linen
- Durability This linen will break in right away for an exceptional, lived-in look.
- Rub Count 30,000
Clever velvet
Clever velvet
This velvet is seriously special. Super durable, spill resistant (try pouring water on one of our free swatches) AND it doesn't mark like most velvets do. It has a lovely, slightly faded feel to it too. An absolute winner for mucky pups and busy homes everywhere.
- Composition 100% Polyester
- Durability Cleverer than a clever velvet in Cleverville. Will hold its own against pretty much anything.
- Rub Count 100,000
Plush velvet
Plush velvet
Just as beautiful as our Clever Velvet but made instead from 100% cotton. This classic, rich fabric is made from a deeper pile so is super-dooper luxurious.
Over time, the marks it collects will stay put for that wonderful, vintage-y character that can't be faked.
Please note the composition of our Burnt Orange & Bahama Plush Velvets is 82% cotton, 9% modal & 9% polyester. All other Plush Velvets are 100% cotton.
- Composition 100% Cotton
- Durability Luxurious but fairly hardy. Like all characterful velvets it will show up some scuffs and brush marks over time – but that's why we love velvet, no?
- Rub Count 50,000
Classic Linen
Classic Linen
When we need a simple, classic linen, Libeco-Lagae in Belgium is our go-to, world-famous textile maker of choice. It's perfect.
- Composition 100% linen
- Durability A tad sturdier than our Vintage Linen, but will still break in quickly for that laid-back look we love at Loaf!
- Rub Count 30,000
Vintage linen
Vintage linen
This linen is seriously special. It is piece-dyed and then washed in a special way to give each roll a slightly aged look with a beautiful feel. It is quite simply perfect.
We buy it in bulk and so are able to offer it for a fraction of the £50 per metre that it usually sells for.
- Composition 100% linen
- Durability This will break in nicely from day one!
- Rub Count 25,000
Brushed cotton
Brushed cotton
An exceptionally popular natural fabric which is given a lovely brushed feel in one of Italy's finest mills. Like our other fabrics we buy it in large quantities
to ensure we get the keenest prices which we can pass on to you.
- Composition 63% Cotton 37% Linen
- Durability A brilliant all-rounder which will withstand lots of general wear and tear that becomes even softer with age
- Rub Count 36,000
Washed cotton
Washed cotton
Like a favourite pair of jeans, this wicked fabric has a lovely faded look.
- Composition 60% Cotton 40% Linen
- Durability Has that lovely lived-in, homely look from the get-go
- Rub Count 30,000
This incredibly expensive-looking wool feels like it would be at home in a Savile Row tailor. We buy it in bulk and so are able to offer it for a fraction of the
£80 per metre retail price that it usually commands. Why not order a free swatch and see for yourself?
- Composition 70% Wool, 25% Polyamide, 5% other
- Durability A sturdy fella - like a Savile Row suit!
- Rub Count 40,000
This natural linen and viscose fabric has an extraordinarily lovely handle to it. Made specially for Loaf by one of Britain's remaining mills.
- Composition 67% Viscose 33% Linen
- Durability Pretty robust - and the pattern helps it hold its own.
- Rub Count 35,000
Textured cotton
Textured cotton
You know that lovely, thick, rough-hewn, travelled feel that, say, old postal bags have? Imagine that, but softer, and you get an idea of how our
Textured Cotton feels. Superb.
- Composition 100% Cotton
- Durability Will break in nicely and gently loosen its weave over time.
- Rub Count 23,750
Cotton Mix
Cotton Mix
A super-soft combo of cotton, linen and viscose, this fabric has a beautiful grainy quality to it. The thick weave makes it hardier than the Yorkshire Moors
and every inch as beautiful.
- Composition 38% PoIyester, 31%Cotton, 21%Viscose, 10%Linen
- Durability Will hold its own and soften with age
- Rub Count 60,000
Beaten leather
Beaten leather
Shiny leather sofas are just...hideous. That's why ours is beaten, weathered and battered to within an inch of its life to get that gorgeous, matt, dusty finish.
It's even punctuated with the nicks and blemishes that it earned during its previous life. We love a hide with history.
- Composition 100% leather
- Durability These extremely hardy leathers look even better and get even softer with age. We go to Italy and back to get them specially!

text: Hi everyone, I am having a bit of trouble with the new Balloons theme from Moargh.de. I am trying to customise the theme ( you can see my website at writingcrafts.com ) but I don't know how to make the pages/posts move up/closer to the header. I have tinkered with almost all the files (php and css) via FTP to reduce this gap but have had no success, I just move all the website content (both header and post) up or down, but not just the Page/Post section which is what I intend. Anyone any suggestions for this? Thank you very much in advance.

I would like to write a small script in ELisp that would:
- send a command to a given buffer
- get its output
- parse it
- send it to another buffer
I am struggling with point 2: I cant get the output of a command. For example, if I have a shell buffer on, I can use
(process-send-string "shell" "help\n")
to send "help" to my shell buffer. It will then show the list of the commands available. But how can I get this list to use it somewhere else?

Definition of depth perception in English:
depth perception
Entry from US English dictionary
The ability to perceive the relative distance of objects in one's visual field.
Example sentences
- This ability to sense distance is called depth perception.
- When older, we also lose depth perception and the ability to distinguish contrast.
- Here the lack of depth perception can reduce the ability to do detailed close work or to pour liquids accurately, and can make driving even more hazardous than it is already.

Humans have the opportunity to learn not only from our primates; but also from dolphins, dogs and elephants as they exhibit immense brain power.
Washington -- U.S. researchers say dolphins found weakened or dead near shore often have one thing in common -- they are nearly deaf.
University of South Florida scientists say in a marine world where hearing is as vital as sight dolphins unable to use sound to locate food or find family members often wind up weak and disoriented, The Washington Post reported Monday.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says 1,200 to 1,600 whales and dolphins are found stranded off the U.S. coast each year.
Without the ability to hear sounds, researchers say, dolphins can be helpless.
Nagoya, Japan -- One of Japan's closest allies, the Republic of Palau, says it is declaring all its oceans, more than 230,000 square miles, a marine sanctuary.
The announcement was made by Palau's minister of environment at the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity in Nagoya, Japan, Inter Press Service reported Sunday.
"There will be no hunting or harassment of marine mammals and other species in our waters," Harry Fritz, minister of the environment, natural resources and tourism, said.
"We urge other nations to join our efforts to protect whales, dolphins and other marine animals," Fritz said.
Adelaide, Australia -- Wild dolphins in Australia have been observed teaching themselves to "walk on water" by furiously paddling upright on their tail flukes, scientists say.
Six dolphins have been seen mastering the technique in a rare example of animals "culturally transmitting" a playful rather than foraging behavior, researchers say.
Only a handful species are known to create their own culture, defined as the sharing or transmitting specific novel behaviors or traditions among a community of animals, the BBC reported.
San Juan -- Two distinct species of dolphins with separate calls and sounds seem to attempt to find a common language when they come together, a U.S. researcher says.
Bottlenose and Guyana dolphins, two distantly related species, often come together to socialize in waters off the coast of Costa Rica, and although each species normally makes distinct, different sounds, they change the way they communicate when together and begin using an intermediate language, the BBC reported Thursday.
Biologist Laura May-Collado of the University of Puerto Rico in San Juan made the discovery while studying dolphins swimming in Costa Rica's Gandoca-Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge off the country's southern Caribbean coast.
Victoria, British Columbia -- Canadian scientists say they are puzzled why dolphins, which normally stay in offshore waters, are showing up close to shore and in inlets on Vancouver Island.
Dolphins started moving closer to land in the mid-1980s but the reason is still unknown, researchers said. It could have been a result of a food shortage or changing water temperatures.
"They just keep increasing," Echo Bay, British Columbia, resident Billy Proctor told the Vancouver Sun. "I guess their population is probably exploding because there's tons of babies everywhere. I don't think they're supposed to be here."
Proctor said he sees hundreds of them daily hanging out close to shore.
London -- A change in the kinds of dolphins being spotted in the waters off northeastern England could be caused by warmer seas, researchers say.
A survey by the North East Cetacean Project found increased sightings of common, bottlenose and Risso's dolphins, all species associated with warmer water, the BBC reported Sunday.
A simultaneous drop in the number of sightings of white-beaked dolphins and harbor porpoises, which prefer colder water, has been reported, scientists say.
"This research adds to the growing body of evidence that some species of whales and dolphins are showing shifts in distribution, possibly as a result of increasing sea temperatures," Dr. Tom Brereton, who analyzed the findings, says.
Brasillia -- The pink dolphins of the Amazon are threatened with extinction from Brazilian fisherman killing them to use their flesh as bait, scientists say.
Researchers estimate 1,500 dolphins are being killed every year in the western Amazon to drive a lucrative trade in catfish, The Daily Telegraph reported Saturday.
Using the flesh from just one killed dolphin as bait, fishermen can catch up to 1,000 pounds of catfish worth almost $500, nearly double Brazil's monthly minimum wage, the newspaper said.
"The population of the river dolphins will collapse if these fishermen are not stopped from killing them," said Vera da Silva of the government's Institute of Amazonian Research.
Miami -- The Miami Dolphins have traded guard Justin Smiley to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a late-round pick, sources told The Miami Herald Monday.
The newspaper cited unnamed sources saying the deal was completed Friday after Coach Bill Parcells had advised Smiley not to report to an off-season workout program due to the impending transaction.
The trade, however, is reportedly contingent on Smiley passing a physical, which may be a problem due to his ailing shoulder. The injury was what prompted the Dolphins to seek a trade in the first place, the sources said.
The shoulder also had bothered Smiley when he was with the San Francisco 49ers in 2008.
San Diego -- Dolphins can induce diabetes when food is scarce and turn it off when food is abundant, said California scientists looking for a cure for humans.
The unique ability may result from a dolphin's need to maintain high blood sugar levels for its large brain -- an ability possibly lost by humans through evolution, said Stephanie Venn-Watson, a veterinary epidemiologist at the National Marine Mammal Foundation in San Diego.
"It is our hope that this discovery can lead to novel ways to prevent, treat and maybe even cure diabetes in humans," said Venn-Watson, who made the discovery while researching dolphins off the coast of Southern California.

Fancybox works perfectly at the bottom of my page, but not at the top thumbnail gallery. My wordpress theme (Yin and Yang Theme)causes content to be loaded dynamically in the same page. Thus, there are two instances where fancybox needs to work, the top and the bottom. When I click on thumbnails in a gallery, the image goes to a totally new url instead of loading in fancybox gallery. There seems to be a conflict of sorts.

Reports Show Weaknesses in Oversight of Clinical Trials
ProPublica: Millions of Americans enroll in clinical trials for experimental drugs and medical devices every year, essentially putting their well-being in the hands of the medical boards that oversee them. But two recent reports raise troubling concerns about these institutional review boards, or IRBs, and point to gaps in federal oversight.

Players from 1987 Saints excited with franchise's first Super Bowl
Published: Friday, February 5, 2010 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 5, 2010 at 11:44 p.m.
HOUMA — It took 21 years for the New Orleans Saints to make their first playoff appearance.
A team with a dominant defense, the Saints finished 12-3 in 1987, but lost their playoff opener to the Minnesota Vikings.
"It was the first winning season in Saints' history," recalled former quarterback and current WWL 870-AM radio host Bobby Hebert. "It was a lot of firsts. The first time we went to the playoffs. We won nine games in a row, for a team that had never won more than eight games in its history."
With all of those firsts, a first Super Bowl appearance couldn't be far behind, right?
Actually, it was.
The Saints' first Super Bowl appearance is just arriving, some 22 years after reaching the playoffs for the first time.
Many players have come and gone during that time span, some leaving to win Super Bowls elsewhere.
"I always wished it could have happened when I was with the Saints," former linebacker Rickey Jackson said of a Super Bowl. "Unfortunately, we never got that far. We got into the playoffs, but we couldn't get over that hump."
Instead, for Jackson, considered one of the greatest Saints ever and a Pro Football Hall of Fame finalist this year, his Super Bowl appearance came with former NFC West rival San Francisco.
Jackson stuck with the Saints from 1981-93, but played his final two years with the 49ers in 1994-95.
The Super Bowl championship, so elusive in New Orleans, came in his first year in San Francisco, when the 49ers beat San Diego, 49-26.
"It's something you cherish for the rest of your life," Jackson said. "It's great when you can go in there and win it. It's something they can never take away from you. There's nothing like it."
Those Saints from the 1987 playoff team never experienced the Super Bowl while playing in New Orleans, but some of them are keeping a close eye on this year's Super Bowl team.
"I talked to (former wide receiver) Eric Martin and Rickey Jackson," Hebert said of his conversations after the Saints won the NFC championship game. "Probably had the longest conversation with Eric, and he kind of said, 'Man, can you believe it? The freaking Saints are going to the Super Bowl.' We both said, 'Who dat say dey gonna beat dem Saints,' to each other, joking around. I think it took us both until about Tuesday morning until we recovered."
While the Who Dat Nation is still basking the Saints' first Super Bowl appearance, Hebert said the Saints' plan is to make these types of seasons routine.
"Talking with Coach (Sean) Payton and Drew Brees, what they're trying to establish right now is kind of like what we did in the late '80s and early '90s," Hebert said.
During that time, the Saints had records of 12-3, 10-6, 11-5 and 12-4.
"The fan base is expecting those double-digit win seasons," Hebert said, "so they're not just a flash in the pan, a one-hit wonder."
Having played in Michigan and California in the United States Football League, and then with the Atlanta Falcons in the NFL, Hebert said the Saints' fan base makes playing in New Orleans a unique experience.
"With the other teams, I kind of felt like a mercenary. Like a hired gun," Hebert said. "Here, you know it's much bigger. You're not only playing for yourself and your family, you're playing for a whole region. A whole community. That's what makes it so special playing for the Saints, because of how much the fans do care about the team."
And never have fans cared more for their Saints than now, days before their first Super Bowl appearance.
Still, from Jackson's perspective, the fans have always shown deep affection for the black and gold.
"I didn't get to the Super Bowl with the Saints," he said. "But the fans made us feel like a Super Bowl champ with the way they cared about us."

- screening
From July 1, 2003 to June 30, 2004, a population-based skin cancer screening project was conducted in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. In total, 360,288 individuals aged ≥20 years were screened by means of a whole-body examination. In this report, the authors compare trends in melanoma mortality in Schleswig-Holstein with those in all adjacent regions, none of which had population-based skin cancer screening.
Trends in melanoma mortality rates for Schleswig-Holstein and the adjacent regions (Denmark and the German federal states of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Hamburg, and Lower Saxony) and in Germany excluding Schleswig-Holstein were compared. Log-linear regression was used to assess mortality trends.
In Schleswig-Holstein during the pre skin cancer screening period (1998-1999), the age-standardized melanoma mortality rate (World standard population) was 1.9 per 100,000 for men and 1.4 per 100,000 for women. Melanoma mortality declined by 47% to 1.0 per 100,000 men and by 49% to 0.7 per 100,000 women by 2008/2009. The annual percentage change in the most recent 10-year period (2000-2009) was −7.5% (95% confidence interval, −14.0, −0.5) for men and −7.1% (95% confidence interval, −10.5, −2.9) for women. In each of the 4 adjacent regions and in the rest of Germany, mortality rates were stable, and the decline in Schleswig-Holstein was significantly different from the changes observed in all of the other areas studied.
The current data represent strong evidence, but not absolute proof, that the skin cancer screening program produced a reduction in melanoma mortality in Schleswig-Holstein. Cancer 2012. © 2012 American Cancer Society.

We chose the hotel due to its location and price. The location was great. The hotel itself was awful. The hotel smelled bad, our room had a broken window (which was taped together) and the rooms had paper thin walls. Hotel was loud at night, made it impossible to sleep. Manager extremely rude. Would not recommend this hotel!

I'm in the process of writing a book about fitness. I would love to get some questions that people have about getting or staying fit- ANY and all questions are fine. I'm a personal trainer and believe that people have to have three aspects of their lives together to stay fit.
1. They have to be mentally/emotionally motivated
2. They have to be physically able to move
3. They have to be organized to fit it into their lives on a regular basis.
What keeps you from reaching your goals? Can I help you reach them? Please contact me if your question can be shared in my upcoming book. I will answer any legitimate questions that I receive. Thank you,

My workout consists of cardio and strength training. I haven't gained any weight, but I haven't lost any weight. On the other hand my endurace has increased drastically. My mile run has improved from 14mins to 10:45. Whats frustarting me is I'm doing so much more than before. Why haven't I lost any weight? Am I just gaining muscle weight? And when should I expect to see weight loss, my ultimate goal? -karri

This is a Class II to Class III adapter. If this doesn't insert all the way into your current 1-1/4" receiver it is because you have a Class I receiver. Class I receivers are shallower than Class II ones to keep people from confusing them and towing Class II (3,500 lb) items on a Class I (2,000 lb) hitch. You can easily cut this tongue down to fit with a hack-saw, but keep in mind that your receiver is still only Class I and you shouldn't tow anything heavier than 2,000 lbs with it.

This does the job but it didn't slide right into place.First, there was a bit welding slag inside my receiver which prevented insertion deep enough to put in locking pin. I accepted this as a shortfall on the part of my receiver manufacturer.Having had the receiver on the car for almost a year, it was my problem. I opted to modify the male end of the adapter to get it past the slag. Unfortunately, having done that, I found the same problem inside the two-inch receiver of the adapter. Luckily, I was able to get at it with a chisel to remove the welding slag.I needed a hitch mounted rack on my sub-compact hatchback so that smelly or spillable items didn't need to be carried inside the car. I have a small foldable trailer but don't want to set that up just to buy gasoline in a can. I was able to purchase a rack for a two-inch receiver and this adapter at Harbor Freight much cheaper than I could purchase a rack to fit a one and quarter inch receiver. The downside is the extra length to the hitch give the weight of the rack and cargo more leverage to cause instability of a small car. Even though the rack is rated at 300 lbs, I'll not likely ever put more than 100-150 lbs into it.If I had this to do over, I'd be looking more closely at the adapter for flaws before purchasing it.

No down side

There is no downside to this hitch adaptor. At $15 it is identical to one that I paid $40 for a few years back. I use it on a scorpion tail shaped load extender when I haul heavy lumber in my van. I have no problems. If you have problems with wobble, switch to a pin that is a tighter fit.

Worked very well. Looks and feels very strong no worry about it breaking with the weight of 2 bicycles & a heavy bike rack. Adds about 6 inches to the overall distance of the rack from the receiver on my car.

AbstractThe SBIR program's goal is to demonstrate the feasibility of fabricating inherently radiation hard, high efficiency solar cells based on InGaN photovoltaic devices using both MBE for material parameter optimization and MOCVD for manufacturability. Recent results by our SBIR partner at Cornell show that InN has a much narrower bandgap than previously believed: 0.7 eV, compared to earlier estimates of 2 eV. This discovery opened the door to fabrication of photovoltaic devices responsive from the near infrared through UV ranges. Thus, unprecedented efficiencies should be possible. In addition, the inherent robustness of nitrides implies all-nitride-based solar cells have potentially greater radiation resistance and an ability to operate under temperature extremes than those currently available. In this program Structured Materials Industries (SMI) is utilizing its expertise in MOCVD technology, as well as recent success in developing and demonstrating a highly efficient nitride MOCVD system, to carry nitride-based solar cells from laboratory to production. In the ongoing Phase I effort, together with Dr. William Schaff of Cornell University, a pioneer in InN and InGaN technology, we have made outstanding progress in solving key materials issue in the system. Dr. Schaff is using his facility MBE tool and analytic capabilities to focus on material property optimization, especially the crucial issue of improving the quality of In-rich InGaN, including n- and p-type doping and junction interface understanding. SMI is focused on transitioning Cornell development into a solar cell manufacturing-ready process. Fabrication and demonstration of prototype devices and process scale-up will take place in Phase II. Successful completion of this program will enable a new class of radiation-hardened, robust, efficient, economical solar cells for space and terrestrial applications, to be produced in Phase III.

Blitzbokke against impressive Kenya in Wellington quarters
The Springbok Sevens were made to work extremely hard for their Cup quarterfinal spot on Friday during day one of the Wellington Sevens.
South Africa lost their first two Pool C matches against Samoa and Canada and were able to qualify for the Cup quarter finals, where they will meet Kenya tomorrow, thanks to a better points difference courtesy of a 21-0 win over Wales in their final pool outing.
Already depleted because of injuries to first-choice players, the Springbok Sevens suffered a further blow when debutant Justin Geduld suffered a broken hand in their second outing against Canada. He returns home on Monday and will most likely be replaced by Branco du Preez.
Kenya, Samoa and Australia all finished the day with a 100 % record. For the first time in the 14-year history of the World Series, Sevens giants Fiji failed to reach the Cup quarter final stage and the Series' second-ranked side France also missed out by losing a crucial match to Argentina.
Playing in their last pool match and needing a comprehensive win, Springbok Sevens captain, Frankie Horne opened their scoring against Wales while Stephan Dippenaar, crucially, added two converted tries.
Three second half tries gave Samoa a 19-10 victory against South Africa, who had led 10-0 at halftime thanks to Philip Snyman and Cornal Hendricks. But the Springbok Sevens could not maintain their grip which allowed Alatasi Tupou, Patrick Faapale and Robert Lilomaiava all scoring for the 2012 Dubai champions. Later, Samoa made it two wins from two against Wales, beating the reigning RWC Sevens champions 19-10.
Hendricks, Chris Dry and debutant Seabelo Senatla scored against Canada, who hit back with tries through Sean Duke (2), Nathan Hirayama and John Moonlight.
Paul Treu, the Springbok Sevens coach, described the two losses against Samoa and Canada as a massive wake-up call for his team and added his players responded well to his call for urgency and purpose against Wales.
"The win over Wales will definitely give the guys a boost for tomorrow against Kenya, who will be a difficult team to play because of their good mix of physicality and speed," said Treu.
Describing what went wrong in during their two losses, Treu explained: "We created opportunities and scored when we were able to, but we lost too many of the mini-battles. Samoa and Canada punished us for our mistakes, but we were able to defend and play with much more discipline against Wales.
"Kenya played exceptionally good Sevens rugby today and they finished unbeaten in a tough Pool which featured Argentina, France and Tonga. So it's going to an extremely tough game against them tomorrow," cautioned Treu.
Cup quarter finals:
England v Scotland
Samoa v Argentina
Australia v New Zealand
Kenya v South Africa

IBM Weighs Mix of Invention, Acquisition at Brainstorm
Sometime later this month -- precisely when is a secret -- Sam Palmisano, chief executive officer of International Business Machines Corp., will gather his 15 senior vice presidents in the company's walnut-paneled boardroom in Armonk, New York, for an all-day brainstorm.
It's the annual Global Technology Outlook, at which top executives and scientists decide what ideas to chase most vigilantly. Research chief John Kelly oversees the discussion as eight other Ph.D. scientists present slides about half a dozen trends the research team thinks IBM can't ignore. The group convenes at about 7:30 a.m., works through a lunch of sandwiches and salads, and doesn't quit until they've reached consensus.
Decisions made at the brainstorm shape which projects get funded, which companies IBM will buy next year, and, for investors, whether the company will extend its 26 straight quarters of increased earnings per share.
"The numbers are compelling," said Dick Glasebrook, a New York-based managing director at the Straus Group unit of Neuberger Berman, which owned 10.6 million IBM shares as of Sept. 30. "There's a high priority, as a differentiating factor, in focusing on research."
IBM invested $5.8 billion in research and development last year, 6.1 percent of revenue, compared with $3.0 billion, or 2.4 percent, at Hewlett Packard Co. That's led to technologies such as new microprocessor designs and an IBM supercomputer that will compete on the 'Jeopardy!' quiz show next year.
The company counts on Kelly and his team for the most significant innovations and augments their efforts with niche acquisitions. Since Palmisano became CEO in 2002, IBM has spent about $28 billion on deals compared with more than $43 billion each for HP and Oracle Corp.
More Than Invention
"We're not wandering off into the weeds relative to our strategy," Kelly, 56, said in an interview. "Sam spends not only a lot of money, but a lot of time on this subject."
IBM's 3,000 researchers play a role broader than invention. At the brainstorm session and other forums, Kelly and his scientists help forge strategy and deal plans. A year ago at the meeting, they identified the digitization of health-care records as a top priority, highlighting one gap in software that was filled with a deal for Initiate Systems Inc. in March.
Kelly also sits on the committee that screens possible acquisitions, along with M&A chief Elias Mendoza.
"They, more proactively than others, are really evaluating, 'Is this something we need to go out and purchase or is this a solution we can build'," said Jeff Bistrong, a Boston-based managing director at investment bank Harris Williams & Co. who has sold companies to IBM.
Revenue Growth?
The strategy hasn't led to stronger revenue growth or stock-market performance than rivals. In the past eight years, IBM has boosted sales 15 percent, while HP and Oracle have more than doubled revenue. Since the start of 2002 through yesterday, IBM shares climbed 21 percent as HP and Oracle more than doubled.
Still, IBM's 26 quarters of per-share earnings increases outstrips the six at HP and five for Oracle. Investors have started to reward IBM. Its stock has outperformed Oracle and HP since the start of 2009, rising 73 percent through yesterday and hitting a record high last month.
IBM fell $1.10 to $144.72 at 4:01 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading and have climbed 11 percent this year.
The 59-year-old Palmisano was openly critical of HP after it struck a deal to buy the data-storage company 3Par Inc. for $2.35 billion, about triple the company's market value before acquisition talks began.
"I'm never worried about a competitor that doesn't invest in R&D," he said in September.
Leo Apotheker, who took over as HP's CEO last month, said he plans to boost research spending at the company, which had cut such investments under his predecessor, Mark Hurd. Deborah Hellinger, a spokeswoman for Oracle, declined to comment.
Brainstorm Preparation
Planning for IBM's annual brainstorm takes months of preparation. Kelly, a 30-year IBM veteran with a Ph.D. in materials engineering, starts over the summer. He and his team meet with venture capitalists, universities and clients. They cull the information and narrow to five or six broad topics.
"The chances of us being blindsided are greatly reduced by this process," said Kelly. "We scour internally, globally around our research for opportunities, discontinuities and threats."
While IBM won't disclose what it will discuss this year, the company has been focusing on four areas -- emerging markets, cloud computing, analytics and its Smarter Planet initiative, or the idea that highways and electrical systems can be made more efficient through monitoring with digital sensors. Sixty percent of the research budget goes to those areas.
GTO Breakthroughs
The GTO, as acronym-happy IBMers call it, can lead to breakthroughs. In 2003, participants homed in on software that could collect and analyze information in real-time. Following the meeting, "the mandate was just to build machines that have the ability to sense the world," said Nagui Halim, the researcher tapped to head the project.
Halim and other researchers created InfoSphere Streams, software that identifies and analyzes data with stream computing. It was introduced as a product last year, helping its segment increase revenue by more than 10 percent. The technology has helped TD Securities develop an automated options trading system and Stockholm predict traffic flows.
Cloud Acquisition
Last year, Kelly and his team flagged the growing role that technology was playing in health care. Though researchers were developing ways for hospitals and insurers to share information, they still needed software to integrate various records. That led to the deal for Initiate, whose programs identify duplicate patient entries in different databases and consolidate them.
"We had quite a few research projects that had started in health care," Robert Morris, vice president of services research, said in an interview. "We pulled them all together and, when we did that, we started saying 'We need more here.'"
In some cases, Kelly, who has been research chief since 2007, suggests potential targets. Researchers in IBM's lab in Haifa, Israel, noticed XIV Information Systems, a local storage company that can increase storage capacity as clients need it. Kelly told the M&A committee about XIV and IBM pounced.
"We, working with M&A guys and our storage system guys said, 'Hey, here's a company with some very interesting technology, some very good people,'" Kelly said.
Long-Term Growth
Palmisano told shareholders in May that the company will almost double operating earnings per share to $20 by 2015. IBM will add about $20 billion in sales over that period from investments in its four growth initiatives, he said, while spending about $20 billion on acquisitions.
Research funding that isn't spent on IBM's four growth platforms goes toward product launches, such as the newest mainframe model, and exploratory projects, such as the 'Jeopardy' computer and an effort with candy maker Mars Inc. to map the cocoa gene.
Often, research leads to a process or software code or some other piece of intellectual property, which are all saved and vetted by a governance board. Those deemed reusable land in IBM's "Asset Hub" -- an internal website divided into 17 industries, such as banking, and further subcategories, such as financial risk. Consultants choose codes from an industry or service as they start projects for clients.
IBM, which has spent about 6 percent of its revenue on research for the past eight years, just completed its 2011 budget. Though the company won't disclose specific figures, Kelly said the company's priorities are clear.
"Sam and the board put their money where their mouth is," he said.

Abstract: The surface of our skin is constantly challenged by a wide variety of microbial pathogens, still cutaneous infections are relatively rare. Within cutaneous innate immunity the production of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) is a primary system for protection against infection. Many AMPs can be found on the skin, and these include molecules that were discovered for their antimicrobial properties, and other peptides and proteins first known for activity as chemokines, enzymes, enzyme inhibitors and neuropeptides. Cathelicidins were among the first familiesf of AMPs discovered on the skin. They are now known to have two distinct functions; they have direct antimicrobial activity and will initiate a host cellular response resulting in cytokine release, inflammation and angiogenesis. Dysfunction of cathelicidin is relevant in the pathogenesis of several cutaneous diseases including atopic dermatitis where cathelicidin induction is suppressed, rosacea, where cathelicidin peptides are abnormally processed to forms that induce cutaneous inflammation and a vascular response, and psoriasis, where a cathelicidin peptide can convert self-DNA to a potent stimulus of an autoinflammatory cascade. Recent work has unexpectedly identified vitamin D3 as a major factor involved in the regulation of cathelicidin expression. Therapies targeting the vitamin D3 pathway and thereby cathelicidin may provide new treatment modalities in the management of infectious and inflammatory skin diseases.

Posted on 02/14/2009 10:55:11 AM PST by chuck_the_tv_out
The Theory of Evolution is not a scientific law or a law of biology. A scientific law must be 100% correct. Failure to meet only one challenge proves the law is wrong. This web page will prove that the Theory of Evolution fails many challenges, not simply one. The Theory of Evolution will never become a law of science because it is wrought with errors. This is why it is called a theory, instead of a law.
The cheetah in Africa is an example of an animal in the cat family with very limited variety in the DNA. Each cheetah looks like an identical twin. The cheetah DNA is so identical that the skin from one cheetah can be grafted into another cheetah without any rejection by the body.
Life did not start with a bolt of lightning striking a pond of water as claimed by evolutionists. That is pure childish fantasy. Evolution is simply a myth.
The universe is slowing down to a lower state, not higher. The genes of plants, insects, animals and humans are continually becoming defective, not improving. Species are becoming extinct, not evolving. Order will always move naturally toward disorder or chaos, unless changed by an intelligent being.
(Excerpt) Read more at biblelife.org ...
Complete misunderstanding of what a Scientific Theory is, right out of the gate.
Save your brains cells and don't read any further.
I will say nothing further until this is moved out of religion forum.
What on earth are you talking about? Why, just last week, I saw a fence lizard, flopping around on useless protowings, planning an escape from fire ants in a few million years. < /sarc>
Don't forget the example of the yucca moth and the yucca plant.The plant can't survive without the moth and vice versa,yet supposedly they developed millions of years apart,
I'm kinda in agreement. There are some points worth discussion, but to simply toss the whole Darwin debate out the front door...just won't work.
Most folks would like a tidy...one-answer-explains-all concept, and it becomes difficult. By the time you toss in magnetic variation, the simple wobble of the earth, and a thousand other odd characteristics of this planet and its inhabitants...one is lead back to a wonderfully imperfect world with evolution at various points.
The Southern Baptist Council on Family Life found 88% of children raised in evangelical homes leave the church after high school, never to return.
If this is the nonsense that you are feeding them, it's not too hard to see why.
The stats on rejection of macroevolution after high school are rather impressive, too.
It's also not hard to see why.
What a horrible statistic to use to suit your purpose. Quite nasty. Par for the couse from evolutionists. No rational or scientific argument, so all you have left is smears and nastiness.
There are many factors, not the least of which is the brainwashing they receive from leftist educators.
Evolution cannot become a law because it is too complex to be simplified to a concise verbal or mathematical statement of a relation that is always under the same conditions.
I still don't follow how those other statements refute evolution.
"I still dont follow how those other statements refute evolution"
An admission of ignorance! That's a start. :) Why not start by reading the page, then if you have any specific questions, ask them.
These things are pretty complex, and can't generally be summed up in a few paragraphs.
I started floating off the ground when Newton's theory on gravity were proved to be incomplete.
That's not at all unusual among Leftwingtards and pseudoscientists (and maybe some others), so it's time for a "correction".
The word originally came into use as a comprehensive description of Protestant, Reform Church, and Anabaptist movements.
That's pretty much what it still means.
If 88% of Evangelicals left Evangelical "church" AFTER becoming adults, the Evangelicals would have disappeared 5 centuries ago.
You may well be confusing the term with "Holy Roller".
BTW, when you get into figuring out what "Holy Rollers" are, don't confuse them with "Snake Handlers". Those bad boys actually handle snakes ~ it's not just a metaphor with them.
In fact, let me encourage you to visit a Snake Handler church. You might learn something ~ like how to hold a rattle snake such that you don't get bit too many times ~ always good thing to know.
"A scientific law must be 100% correct. Failure to meet only one challenge proves the law is wrong
I started floating off the ground when Newton's theory on gravity were proved to be incomplete."
Gravity didn't fail to meet a challenge. Although the anomalous acceleration of the Pioneer spacecraft indicates our understanding may need some adjustment.
Yes, all Bible-believing Christians should homeschool.
The best arrangement must be to get together with a few likeminded christian friends, although that isn't always possible
And what I see is devolution, not evolution. (Unless the concepts are interchangeable?)
Look at Congress.
Darwin is wrong but many of the skeptics are just as wrong.
Which means that at some point almost all cheetahs were killed, and the existing cheetahs are descendents of a very few related individuals.
Life did not start with a bolt of lightning striking a pond of water as claimed by evolutionists.
A bald-faced lie. The theory of evolution does not and is not intended to explain the overall origin of life.
The universe is slowing down to a lower state, not higher. The genes of plants, insects, animals and humans are continually becoming defective, not improving.
Most changes in a genome will be to the detriment of the individual. A very few will lead to an increased survivability. The fact that the former will greatly outnumber the latter is consistent with the theory of evolution.
Species are becoming extinct, not evolving.
First, if a species' environment changes more rapidly than the species can adapt, it will die out. Again, this is not inconsistent with the theory of evolution. Secondly, on what basis is the assertion "Species are becoming extinct, not evolving." asserted? Where is the evidence for this.
Order will always move naturally toward disorder or chaos, unless changed by an intelligent being.
The first phrase is a restatement of the laws of thermodynamics. But localized increase in order (e.g., the creation of a honeycomb) need not be directed by intelligence, unless you think for example that honeybees are sentient.
Agreed. It takes someone as belligerently ignorant as Ben Stein even to come up with something like that. Certainly not something a biologist would claim.
The person who wrote this was a complete moron.
Oh yes it did. General relativity works in certain situations where Newtonian gravity doesn't (although it's perfectly adequate for everyday use).
Did I say Newtonian gravity?
Scientic FACTS ARE wrong.
Just the grammar check. What happened to good journalism?
Can you provide a URL or other reference to the source of that statistic?
This is an allusion to entropy, which increases in the universe as a whole, or in a closed system. Planet Earth is an open system which is supplied with huge amounts of energy from outside (the sun), something which both creationists and global warming nuts fail to consider.
General relativity also fails at the quantum scale. There is no theory of gravity that works at all scales.
Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution is Wrong, False and Impossible
the is is right..
If you didn't personally, the second sentence quoted in your post did, so the discussion was presumably about Newtonian gravity at that point. Besides, I wouldn't be completely surprised if General Relativity is superceded at some point in the future.
energy does not equal entropy. energy does not provide information. that's something you learn in the first year of elementary science
Nothing in the article displays evidence of an interest in even basic science, facts, or proof.
The biggest problem for the bible-based creationist effort is that it hinges on defending a very narrowly defined statement: God created all of the universe, fully formed as we know it now, in six earth days. It was also done exactly as the King James (or whatever) version of the bible states it... in English.
Science is not a competing religion (there are no shrines to the 'time god'), it's a way of discovering more about the world around us. Shouting down science is not a method of proving a point, it's a way of declaring that you're not interested in learning more. If creation in fact happened exactly as described by the bible, scientists will eventually uncover evidence to unambiguously support that position. If your faith isn't strong enough to wait, it isn't the fault of the evil time god.
The New Testament says that scripture is useful for instruction, reproof, etc., not that it is a science text or even a history book (although it is full of verifiable historical material).
It's the Islamofascists who think God handed down a full text of truths. They call it the Koran. Since none of us are Moslems, we need not adopt such a belief.
Um, maybe that's why they call it a theory instead of a law.
Thanks for making Christians everywhere look like mouth-breathing morons. Atheist love the Young Earth Creationists.
Congress is a special case ~ they prove that you can crossbreed a goat and fencepost.
I didn't equate energy with entropy. I said that the 2nd law applies only to closed systems, which the earth is not. Closed means no imported energy or matter. Entropy was defined in thermodynamics well before concepts relating it to information were introduced.
"It was also done exactly as the King James (or whatever) version of the bible states it... in English."
Who says that? Where's that from?
"If creation in fact happened exactly as described by the bible, scientists will eventually uncover evidence to unambiguously support that position. If your faith isnt strong enough to wait, it isnt the fault of the evil time god."
Odd stuff. "If your faith is strong enought to wait"?? For science to catch up with fact? That's a very odd way of thinking. Science is catching up, slowly. For centuries mockers mocked the idea that the flood "came up from the great deep", believing the Earth to be a solid mass. Now in 2007 they find an arctic ocean's worthy of water in the mantle, and evidence of a global catastrophic flood 4400 years ago is mounting up.
Your statement is baffling. You expect people to aquiesce to whatever "consensus science" says, whether it's right or wrong?
I read what hellbender wrote, and your response has no relationship to it.
Your first sentence was bizarre. Your second sentence is flat-out wrong: energy does provide information. Ever seen that big yellow ball in the sky? We know what it looks like. How do we know what it looks like? Because of information sent in the form of energy like photons and magnetic field strength, to name a few.
This is why the hypocritical Free Republic hardcore evolutionists fanatically worship the Big Government Public School monopoly.
(the hardcore evolutionists on Free Republic are as fanatically devout to the Big Government Public School monopoly as any left wing Democrat)
"Um, maybe thats why they call it a theory instead of a law."
Not according to some posters on here. It's "fact" according to them, and apparently to you.
"Thanks for making Christians everywhere look like mouth-breathing morons."
So you, a Christian, believe in evolution. So why did Jesus come to die on the cross? Did Adam sin, and all mankind bear and continue his sin? But what was before Adam? Did death not enter the world through sin?
If you can't believe that God created the world as it says in the Bible then I really don't see how you can believe that Jesus was born of a virgin or that Jesus fed 5000 men and their families with a few loaves & fishes. That's all "mouth breather" stuff isn't it?
Actually, the young-earthers don't even hold to a literal meaning of the creation story. The word "yom" has many meanings, ranging from part of a day, to a day, to a lifetime, to a very long and unspecified length of time.
The Young-Earth Creationists insist that "yom" has to mean a literal 24-hour day in the creation story. Yet there is nothing in the Bible that points to that notion.
Young-Earthers use a bad interpretation of scripture and try to twist science to match their beliefs. When people laugh at them, they believe that they're being persecuted for the cause of Christ. In reality, they're being persecuted for being ignorant.
"energy like photons and magnetic field strength"
magnetic field strength is not energy. Go find out what magnetic field strength is, is your job number 1 here.
adding energy to a system does not provide that system with information.
Undoubtedly, however, the Stray Man is an example of (un)Intelligent Design.
Wrong. I am 100% creationist. I believe that God created the entire universe out of nothing just like it says in the Bible. What I don't believe is that "yom" means a literal 24-hour day.
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
God has spoken to us not only in his word, but also in general revelation through his creation. All of the scientific evidence points to an earth that is around 4.5 billion years old and a universe that is around 14 billion years old.
When you deny what God has shown in his creation, and deny a perfectly legitimate interpretation of Genesis that agrees 100% with God's general revelation, then you are saying that God has lied to us through his creation. Yet, as usual, you Young-Earthers are the ones who claim that those of who recognize those facts aren't real Christians.
Really? I have degrees in chemistry and chemical engineering from very well-respected, nationally known universities. I have had a career in science for almost 25 years.
Here are the equations for determining the energy density in a magnetic field.
So tell me about your scientific credentials and why they led you to make such a perfectly ludicrous statement?
Well yes there is, and since this "bible" that you are referencing is the 6000 year old Torah of Judaism, you should take the argument up with the Orthodox of that religion not Christians, we got it from them.
"What I don't believe is that "yom" means a literal 24-hour day."
The age of the earth isn't the question here. Evolution is.

Woman swept away by 'sneaker' wave in N. Calif.
EUREKA, Calif. (AP) – A Northern California woman drowned after she was swept out to sea by a large wave in the third such tragedy in the region this season, authorities said.
Humboldt County Coroner David Parris on Monday identified the victim as Susan Archer, 32, of Shelter Cove, about 90 miles south of Eureka.
Archer was walking on a rocky beach near her home with her boyfriend and dog Sunday when the wave pulled her into the ocean, Parris said. Her body was brought to shore after a roughly 45-minute search by boat and helicopter. Attempts to revive her with CPR didn't work, he said.
Archer's boyfriend was hurt when he was thrown against the shoreline rocks, but he was not swept up by the wave, officials said. Her dog was pulled into the water but was able to swim back to shore.
Authorities are warning beach-goers to stay away from the water's edge and watch out for "sneaker waves" that can suddenly roar ashore.
"The entire shoreline of Northern California is very dangerous at this time of year," Parris said. "These waves can sneak up on you so quickly that you don't have the ability to swim or recover."
The tragedy is the region's third such mishap in the past few months.
On New Year's Day, a man and his wife were walking on the beach near Point Reyes when a wave overtook their dog. The couple went into the water to rescue the dog and the man was swept away. His wife and dog made it safely to shore.
In November, a couple drowned and their 16-year-old son disappeared while trying to save their dog at a beach near Arcata. The dog was chasing a thrown stick when it got pulled into the ocean by 8- to 10-foot waves.

BAGHDAD (AP) - A woman with a bomb strapped under her robe has
killed more than three dozen people outside a Baghdad mosque during
ceremonies commemorating the death of a Shiite Muslim saint.
The blast, which sent shrapnel hurtling across the crowded square, also wounded at least 72 people.
The woman was among a group of Iranian pilgrims. Thousands of pilgrims from predominantly Shiite Iran visit Iraq during Ashura,
celebrated on Jan. 7 this year.
The evening before the explosion, thousands of men marched through the streets, slashing their shoulders with iron chains to mourn the 7th-century death of Prophet Muhammad's grandson Hussein.
He was killed in a battle over Islam's leadership that began after
Muhammad's death.
