The Samsung Series 9 900X3B is the most attractive and premium-feeling 13-inch ultraportable we've seen since the 2011 Macbook Air. Have Ultrabooks finally come of age? Well, no, because Samsung doesn't class the Series 9 900X3B as an Ultrabook, despite it meeting or exceeding every 'requirement'. Frankly, this is because the company feels Ultrabooks have become too mainstream, and its new Series 9 is a premium ultraportable for which you pay a premium price. But does it do enough to elevate it above the norm? Yes, and then some.
We've already mentioned that the Samsung Series 9 900X3B is an amazing looking laptop, but it's also incredibly thin, with its sub-13mm profile making it the slimmest 13-inch laptop we've seen. But merely being the thinnest isn't enough; it's also the lightest, weighing a mere 1.15kg. It has the best screen of any ultrabook we've seen, and isn't far off being the best we've seen on any laptop ever.
It's a 13.3-inch matt-finish panel with a high 1,600 x 900 resolution and near-flawless viewing angles resultant of it using PLS technology. MacBook Air aside, it even has the best speakers. Its backlit keyboard is great to type on and its touchpad easily matches up. And to top it all off, Samsung claims the Series 9 900X3B has up to 10-hours battery life!
Unlike many ultrabooks that use several bolted together panels, the Series 9 900X3B comes packaged in a true unibody chassis, like that of the MacBook Air. The entirety is anodised gunmetal blue/grey, aside from the edges which have been left bare aluminium, making for a nice contrast and further emphasising that incredible thinness.
Build quality matches its design. Far more so than other, already-impressive unibody ultrabooks like the Asus Zenbook UX31, the Samsung 900X3B really is rock-solid. There's not a hint of flex or creak, and it just exudes quality. Even the hinge has a far more deliberate action than we're used to from thin laptops.
Finally then we have a Windows PC laptop that matches the best Apple has to offer not just in looks but in feel too. Thankfully, the new Series 9's finish also picks up far fewer fingerprints than its brushed black duraluminum predecessor.
Despite being the thinnest Ultrab… - sorry, we mean ultraportable - we've seen, Samsung hasn't compromised on the Series 9's connectivity, which is an impressive feat in itself. On the left you'll find the laptop's single USB 3.0 port for hooking up fast storage, followed by a microHDMI port for outputting digital video. Samsung does not supply a regular-size HDMI adapter but then microHDMI cables are cheap and plentiful. The next port is microGigabit Ethernet, which uses a supplied adapter to plug into conventional wired networks.
On the right there's a full-size SDXC card slot, microVGA port (again with included adapter), a 3.5mm headphone and microphone combi jack, and a USB 2.0 port. For wireless there's Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi N. That pretty much covers every possible requirement, and the only absentee on the Samsung Series 9 900X3B we would have liked to have seen is ThunderBolt.
Your articles doesn't actually say how long the battery life turned out to be in your tests/review.
One of the nice things about Apple laptops is that they all support WQHD (2560x1440) and WQXGA (2560x1600), so can drive 27" and 30" monitors at their native resolution.
Such support is remarkably hard to find on non-Apple laptops, despite many of them possessing a GPU capable of doing so. I had a colleague return an expensive Sony VAIO after discovering that it couldn't drive his 27" Dell monitor.
Does this Samsung support these resolutions via its microHDMI port or some adapter?
i find it astonishing that the tech press repeatedly publish articles describing Apple laptops as expensive vs 'Windows' laptops.
I'd love to have a nice Windows machine but from my perspective I can't see any machine that equals a MacBook at ANY PRICE once you consider: design (personal yes, but these days critical!), performance, and price.
Also consider that the MacBook range are discounted to the tune of 10-16% to many who work for large organisations including the NHS and Students.
Unless you REALLY need Windows - which most don't - Grab yourself a superb bargain, and get a MacBook.
I could not understand why all the hype about this new laptop?
What I could understand is that it is outperformed by a 7-8 months old Macbook Air - that is also currently cheaper and widely available. Just compared with the 13" Air review and 8 months ago it was marked 7 for features and 7 for value while this one got nines ?!?
I am not bashing the product, just was curious, is there some sort of anti-apple sentiment. I am a Windows user and would actually consider this Samsung if the graphics card was a bit better. If I put up with the graphics performance would I be better of getting an Air and putting Win on it, as far as i know Apple provide full driver support?
About time someone matched apples feature set blow for blow. Maybe my next laptop will be windows now which will finally allow me to ditch osx and its various irritations once and for all. Still that wont be for a few years yet.
I don't trust this review - I mean, a MacBook Air beater? Come on?
Isn't it just another clone of Apples brilliant design ideas, outstanding engineering and incomparable ingenuity?
Despite the Mac genome of a sleek and clean look, the alu unibody, backlit keyboard, touchpad etc. In my mind, it will always just be a wannabe MacBook Air, just another bamboo PC with Windows.
Honestly, if this is a trusted review, why would anyone ever write such an overly positive recommendation of this copy product, when you can get the real deal, being in every aspect a better and original product, and for an even lower price tag that runs both OSX and Windows - if anyone should ever want it or need it, on a Mac?
Is it just the claim of a better screen or, is it something else? I don't trust it? Do you?
Another gorgeous and highly tempting ultrabook ruled out for me by its lack of a built in 3G card... what is the point in having something so lovely and portable if you have to attach an ugly dongle to it to allow it to connect out of your house?
(I might post this on each ultrabook review until manufacturers get the idea - I can't get one until there's 3G connectivity!)
I don't get why people are so against this review, and so against the idea of somebody, shock horror, making a product better than Apple. Have you used it yourself? Have you spent a few hours actually using this laptop? No - but the reviewer has, and that is obviously how they have based their opinion.
Yes, this current generation of laptops have obviously been massively influenced by Apple. That doesn't mean they are not better, the whole notion "original is best" is ridiculous and completely takes away the whole notion of innovation - which is about taking existing ideas and making them better.
Stop being so close minded, this is obviously a stunning, beautiful and brilliant laptop that deserves to be given a chance. Dismissing it, without having used it, and seemingly because it doesn't have an Apple badge, is complete nonsense.
It would be interesting to see what all these comments read as, had it indeed been Apple.
>> various irritations
Have you any examples of these, all OS's have there quirks. Just curious what quirks you have with OSx.
Must admit, even being firmly in the camp of 'openly hostile' towards Apple's business model - even I would rather take a Mac Book over this, for the same price.
The deciding factor? Well, the seamless integration of Windows 7 (which I much prefer over OSX) with Apple hardware and the ability to use OSX as well. If you're looking at this budget and specifically in this category, Apple makes sense even if you're a MS person.
It still seems strange / wrong that only Apple PC's are capable of officially supporting their direct competitors OS. This should be a two way street.
It's got me a little confused too,. From re-reading this article the £100 extra you pay for the Samsung is down to Quality & Style. The extra performance of the air doesn't seem to be factored in here.
>> It still seems strange
Although it would be nice, I wound't say it's strange / wrong.
Did you actually read the review, or just look at the pictures? And with a monochrome monitor at that, because there's some colour to this Samsung and it's not simply another spin-off from the anaemic Ive conveyor belt.
So, perhaps the Samsung's better screen, or the significantly lighter weight, or the thinner chassis, or the better connectivity (USB3 is the superior choice, as Thunderbolt is so scarce that it's next to useless, and will remain so until the Windows community adopt it. Firewire anyone?), or the better battery - even the pre-production model, and TR believe that the production battery will have more stamina yet.
All of the above are essential for an ultraportable, and would warrant its high praise. Applefans obviously won't buy anything without the fruit badge, but many of the rest of us will seriously consider this.
I agree with Michael G. What do these people want? It's lighter, thinner, has a better screen, better battery (matching the MBA at the moment, but with perhaps more to come from the production battery) and more widely supported connectivity. If it was the next MBA with these same improvements they would all be screaming and booking their places in the queues outside the Apple Stores, but as it's only a lowly Samsung then it's a non-starter?
It's shown in the battery graph, but I will add it to the review. Thanks for your comment :)
All Intel Sandy Bridge laptops with HD3000 graphics (which is also what the MacBooks use) should support 2560 x 1600 through DisplayPort and over HDMI. We will test this to make sure and get back to you.
It's because generally, they are. The MacBook Air at least provided good value because the ultraportable competition was always either not quite as well-built, attractive or fully featured, but compared to the 900X3B the only area where the Air still wins (OS preferences aside, obviously) is possibly standby battery life.
The Samsung is thinner, lighter, and has a far better screen... Performance should be equal, our sample seemed to be performing slightly below what it should considering its specs.
Have you read the review? It's thinner AND lighter than a MacBook Air, has a FAR better screen, more flexible connectivity, is at least as attractive (somewhat subjective, obviously) and offers comparable performance and battery life.
If you check the scores again, performance on this Samsung is also 7 (!), and when it came out the MacBook Air without a PLS/IPS screen cost £1350 at the time of review, compared to £1200 for this Series 9 - hence the lower value score.
I hope this clears up any confusion.
Aside from its higher resolution, the matt screen is PLS (Samsung's IPS equivalent) compared to the TN panel in the Air - this alone is worth the extra £100 it currently demands.
What @Overmars said.
Also, see my replies to @Michael 2 and @Everlast66.
So you don't trust our review because you can't accept that a "clone" can be better than the so-called original? (on which note, Sony had super-slim ultraportables long before the MacBook Air ever came out)
Also, the Air - while an excellent and TR Recommended product - is most certainly NOT "in every aspect a better [...] product".
We're with you on the hankering for inbuilt 3G @JonWill, at least as an optional extra...
Good point @ElectricSheep. However, personally I would rather have the better screen, even if it meant (officially) forgoing the delights of MacOS.
It is not so strange, but certainly very wrong! :)
I second @Keithe6e; curious to see which quirks in particular you find annoying compared to Windows 7? Cheers.
Nice one Samsung. No other manufacturer has ticked all the boxes with their ultrabook (or whatever you want to call them)
Now there is a real alternative to the Apple.
Stop going on about the price. It'll drop. Apple's won't.
@Ardjuna: Aside from...
I was using your comments, not mine.
>> even costing £100 more than the 13in MacBook Air. However, if you value quality and style, it's worth every penny.
I'm sure this is a fantastic machine and worth every penny, but it does still seem strange that a product made 8 months ago would still give this machine a run for it's money, and having 10% faster performance is nothing to sniff at.
Anyway, I still want one.
Could always go with wireless tethering, if that's you're only niggle.
Can't imagine that many people looking at a premium device like this wont have a suitably-equipped smart-phone to deliver 3G data in a pinch.

Range Map
The San Francisco garter snake is a subspecies of the common garter snake Thamnophis sirtalis. It is a strikingly beautiful snake, with dramatic blue, black and red stripes running down the length of the body. Garter snakes belong to the family Colubridae, the largest family of snakes, which includes most of the non-venomous snakes. Common garter snakes range over most of the United States and southern Canada except for most of the Great Plains and the deserts of the Southwest. In fact, they are the most widely distributed North American snake. San Francisco garter snakes are only found on the San Francisco peninsula in about 20 localities, including the Ano Nuevo State Reserve, the San Francisco State Fish and Game Refuge, and the Pescadero Marsh Natural Reserve.
Common garter snakes, including San Francisco garter snakes, are usually found near moist vegetation, often in or near wetlands, along creeks and sloughs, on farms, in moist meadows and near irrigation and drainage ditches.
Common garter snakes, including the San Francisco garter snake, range in length from 18-51 inches (46-131 cm). A typical size female weighs about 8 ounces (227 gr). Males are much smaller than females, and usually weigh less than half as much.
8-15 years (estimate)
In the wild: Amphibians (including tadpoles), earthworms, small fish.
At the zoo: Fish, earthworms.
In the colder parts of their range, male common garter snakes emerge from hibernation first, so they can be ready for females when they appear. Female snakes who have follicles ready for fertilization emit a powerful pheromonal attractant. Groups of males may form a mass around a female, each of the eager little suitors hoping to be the one to actually mate with the larger snake. One or more may manage to insert one of his hemipenes (copulatory organs) into the cloaca of the female and introduce semen into her reproductive tract. Three to four months later, a litter of as many as 85 babies is produced.
Each newborn snake is only 5 to 9 inches (13-23 cm) long. They immediately disperse and begin a life of hiding from predators while seeking prey even smaller than themselves. Large litters are an indication of how difficult it is for a baby garter snake to survive to adulthood. Many become food for frogs and birds. If they are capable and fortunate, they mature at about 2 years of age.
Garter snakes often detect frogs or tadpoles by sensing their movements in the water along the snake's body. The garter snake then turns and lunges at the source of the sensation and often manages to grab something good to eat as a result. They do not constrict their prey; they simply seize it in their jaws and begin swallowing it alive. Many of the animals they hunt are very easy to swallow — moist and smooth, and shaped well for going down their throats. Frogs and toads try to kick their way out of the snake's mouth, while the garter snake tries to use its small but numerous teeth to prevent its dinner from escaping.
The zoo does not currently have a San Francisco garter snake. However, other species of native (U.S.) reptiles which can be seen in the Day Exhibit are: Louisiana pine snake, desert rosy boa, corn snake and Gila monster, as well as different kinds of rattlesnakes: the northern blacktail and Washington state's only dangerously venomous snake, the Northern Pacific rattlesnake.
San Francisco garter snakes are an endangered species. They are also protected by the state of California. San Francisco garter snakes in captivity are only found in zoos, and are on loan from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Any of these snakes found in private hands are deemed to be illegally collected and those possessing them are prosecuted aggressively. Other dangers the species face include: pollution, wetland development and introduced predators such as bullfrogs.
The effort to save endangered species like the San Francisco garter snake requires cooperation and support at the international, national, regional and individual levels. You can help in this cause. Join and become active in Woodland Park Zoo and other conservation organizations of your choice. Don't buy wild-caught reptiles and other animals for pets. Contact your elected representatives and express your views about conservation of endangered species and wild habitats.
Contact Woodland Park Zoo at email@example.com to find out other ways you can support conservation programs at the zoo. Discover more about snakes by contacting the Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles at 303 W. 39th St., PO Box 626, Hays, KS 67601. Learn other ways you can help conserve wildlife and the habitats they require for survival by visiting our How You Can Help page.
We do not recommend reptiles as pets for most people as they require very specialized diets and environments. We also receive hundreds of requests each year to take former pet iguanas, boas and other reptiles but we cannot accept these due to space, health and unknown backgrounds. If you need to find a reptile or amphibian a new home, we suggest you contact a local herpetological group in your area. In the Puget Sound region, contact the Pacific Northwest Herpetological Society as a resource. If you do choose to get a reptile as a pet, please learn as much as possible about their care and the best species before making your decision and never accept wild-caught animals as pets or release non-native reptiles or amphibians into the wild.

Main Page | Risk Factors | Symptoms | Diagnosis | Treatment | Screening | Reducing Your Risk | Talking to Your Doctor | Resource Guide
The information provided here is meant to give you a general idea about each of the medications listed below. Only the most general side effects are included, so ask your doctor if you need to take any special precautions. Use each of these medications as recommended by your doctor, or according to the instructions provided. If you have further questions about usage or side effects, contact your doctor.
Ear infections generally are treated with antibiotics. Antibiotics are only effective against infections caused by bacteria. If an ear infection is caused by a virus, antibiotics will not relieve the infection.
In addition, decongestants and antihistamines are not recommended to treat an ear infection.
The medications listed below are commonly used for otitis media. For acute otitis, most experts currently recommend initial use of "high dose" amoxicillin, reserving other medications for use only when there is no improvement after 48 hours. The most widely recommended "second line" antibiotics are probably amoxicillin with
potassium clavulante
(or the closely-related drugs Cefpoxoxime and
), and the injectable antibiotic
All of the prescription medications listed below are antibiotics. In some cases, a specific antibiotic may be prescribed because it is effective against the particular organism causing the ear infection. Usually, however, the specific organism is not known, and the physician will prescribe an antibiotic, such as amoxicillin, that is effective against most of the organisms commonly associated with ear infections. Because some bacteria have developed resistance to many antibiotics, your physician may have to try several antibiotics before the infection is cured.
The medications listed below are only a selection of those frequently used to treat otitis.
Unnecessary antibiotic usage leads to antibiotic resistance that may make serious infections, like
, more difficult to treat. For this reason, many experts recommend that children with otitis who are older than two years may not need antibiotics until a 2-3 day trial with pain relievers alone has been attempted and found to be unsuccessful. Some mild forms of otitis, especially if caused by a virus, are self limiting and do not require antibiotics.
Common names include:
Penicillins are used to treat bacterial infections. These drugs may be provided in a liquid suspension, which is easier to give to small children, chewable tablets for older children, or pills for adults. Treatment usually involves 2-3 doses per day for at least 10 days, although some doctors are investigating the use of shorter treatment times. It may take several days before the medicine takes effect. The combination of amoxicillin and potassium clavulanate (Augmentin) may be used if resistance to amoxicillin is suspected.
Possible side effects include:
These drugs may be used if you have a known allergy to penicillin or develop one during treatment. Some erythromycins are taken with food, while others are not. Your doctor, nurse, and pharmacist can advise you about the specific medicine you are using. A common side effect of erythromycin treatment is abdominal pain and/or
diarrhea, which can be fairly severe at times. Allergic reactions, including
and respiratory difficulties, also may occur. If you experience these serious side effects, stop taking the medication immediately, and seek emergency medical care immediately. Pediazole contains a sulfa medicine which must not be taken by children allergic to "Bactrim," "Septra," or other sulfa-containing medications. While widely-used, these medications are not included on many experts' lists of best acute otitis treatment.
Like the erythromycins, these medications may be used if previous medications were ineffective against your infection. They are usually provided in a liquid suspension (for children) or in capsules and are taken 2-3 times a day for 7-10 days. You should not take these medications if you are allergic to cephalosporins. Some children who are allergic to penicillin are also allergic to cephalosporins. Be sure to tell your doctor about any medication allergies. Ceftriaxone (Rocephin) can be effective against otitis when given as a single shot, and a 3-day course has been shown to be better in more complicated cases. Extreme itching, hives, or faintness after a dose may be a sign of a serious allergic reaction and may require emergency medical care.
Common brand names include:
Ibuprofen helps to reduce fever, pain, and inflammation and can be useful during the early days of an ear infection. Ibuprofen can be taken with food or alone, although it may cause stomach upset if taken on an empty stomach. Don't use ibuprofen for more than three days without consulting your physician.
Acetaminophen helps reduce pain and fever. It is less likely to cause stomach upset than ibuprofen, but might be less effective in reducing fever. This drug may be taken alone or with food, but it should not be used with other products containing acetaminophen, such as certain cold preparations. Don't use acetaminophen for more than three days without consulting your physician.
Ear drops containing a local anaesthetic, like ametocaine, benzocaine, or lidocaine, are used for temporary relief of ear pain. In children, ear drops can help decrease pain, especially when the drops are used with oral pain relievers.
If you are also taking antibiotics, the pain-relieving drops are usually only needed for the first 1-2 days of treatment. If your pain lasts longer, it may mean that the infection is not responding to antibiotic treatment.
If there is a chance that the eardrum has ruptured, do not use ear drops.
If you are taking medications, follow these general guidelines:

Westminster, Ohio – Trailing by five at the halftime break, Brevard College used a 22-2 second half run to cruise past Emory & Henry College, 89-73, Monday night in the opening round of the 38th Annual Marietta Shrine Tournament. With the win, the Tornados improve to 5-2 (0-1 SAC), while the Wasps fall to 5-5.
Brevard looked to have an easy victory in hand after building an early double-digit advantage. Jonathan Whitson (Clyde, N.C.) scored eight points in a 14-0 Brevard run that put the Tornados on top 14-3 after Sam Carlisle's (Raliegh, N.C.) basket at the 16:18 mark. Nathan Whitmire (Rosman, N.C.) gave the Tornados their largest opening half lead with two free throws at the 13:09 mark to put Brevard in control, 18-6.
But thanks in large part to Brevard turnovers and foul trouble for Whitson, the pesky Wasps clawed back into the game in the later stages of the first half. Paul Russo's team used a 19-4 run of their own, capped by free throws from Josh Lee (Raleigh, N.C.) to take a 25-22 lead with 7:18 to play in the half.
A three-pointer by Brevard's Darin Dellinger (Stanley, N.C.) evened the game at 25 at the 7:03 mark, but then Emory & Henry scored 12 of the game's next 15 points, much of it after Whitson went to the bench with his third foul at the 5:07 mark, to build a 37-28 advantage. JD Dyson (Yorktown, Va.) gave the Wasps their biggest lead with a jumper 2:56 before the break. The Brevard second-team rallied however, to close the gap to 39-34 at the break.
But while the opening half went Emory & Henry's way. the second half belonged entirely to Michael Jones' squad. The Wasps stretched the lead to seven with 19:14 remaining but the Tornados kicked in into high gear on back-to-back fast break lay-ups by Dellinger to narrow the gap to 43-41 at the 18:17 mark, and Carlisle gave Brevard a lead they would not relinquish, 47-45, with 16:42 remaining.
Whitson stretched the lead to double figures, 55-45, with a lay-up at the 13:34 point, and Joseph Chilton (Brasstown, N.C.) crossed the 20-point threshold with a trifecta at the 3:43 mark to mark the tally 82-63. A pair of freebies from Shane Galloway (Rosman, N.C.) gave Brevard its biggest lead, 87-63, with 2:02 to play.
Whitson and Dellinger paced Brevard's offensive onslaught with 18 points a piece. Chilton added 15 points, and Whitmire also reached double figures with ten. Emory & Henry was led by Dyson and Camillo Weinz (Radford, Va.), both of whom poured in 13 points.
"I am very pleased with the way we competed tonight, especially in the second half," Jones said after the game. "Dellinger's play was especially good; we've been waiting on him to have a game like this and he did a great job running our offense and scoring on his own."
Brevard's 89 points is a season-high, and both Dellinger and Whitmire contributed their best offensive performances of the season. The Tornados shot 58.2% from the floor ad turned the ball over 25 times, although just seven of those giveaways came in the second half. The Wasps struggled from the field, hitting just 30% of their field goals.
Brevard advances to play either Marietta or Westminster Tuesday night in the championship game of the Marietta Shrine Tournament. Tip-off is set for 8 p.m. and air time on WSQL AM-1240 is 7:30 p.m. The Tornados will play the winner of the clash between the Pioneers and Titans, while the Wasps will play the loser for third place.

In Aruba, Van der Sloot and Holloway were also caught on tape leaving a nightclub together without any sign of struggle.
The lonely dance hit propelled Robyn from nightclub gigs to selling out Radio City Music Hall last month.
And then the millions of miles and the thousands of nightclub dates—the rage they required, the drinks and drugs—took their toll.
A video released in early July showed the young star exiting a New York City nightclub through the kitchen.
A few years later, Goudeau met Carr, a slender woman with a mane of long reddish-brown hair, at a Phoenix nightclub.
First they were a private party at a nightclub, then at a small restaurant.
There was even a nightclub in Lunar City where one highball cost the equivalent of—say—a week's pay for a secretary like Babs.
Although, the name of Ruby associates itself with a reputation of Ruby by—as a nightclub operator in Dallas, quite vividly.
He told—somebody told about Jack Ruby—he went to his nightclub, he never did go to nightclub.
There had been no hint of any sort that he was acquainted with nightclub people?

Brevard, N.C. – The Brevard College women's tennis team demolished visiting South Atlantic Conference rival Newberry College Monday afternoon, 9-0. Winners of nine matches in a row, the Tornados now stand 13-3 (4-2 SAC). Newberry falls to 0-7 (0-3 SAC).
The Tornados not only won all three doubles points, they did so without dropping a single game. Kim Dixon and Lindsay Shaeffer took down Autise Mortimer and Rebekah Crouch, Kayley Duval and Jennifer Nyman blasted Lindsay Kyzer and Allison Kyzer, and Merek Slagle and Sara Douglas beat Kelly Cheesborough and Denise Williams, all by scores of 8-0.
The feature match of the singles portion was also by far the closest. In the top flight, Shaeffer won a tough battle over Mortimer, 7-5, 6-3. The other five matches were blowouts, with the scarlet and gray taking just two games combined. Duval beat Crouch in the second flight, 6-0, 6-1, Dixon was perfect against Cheesborough in the third, 6-0, 6-0, Nyman beat Allison Kyzer in the fourth spot, 6-0, 6-1, Douglas waltzed past Lindsay Kyzer at No. 5, 6-0, 6-0, and Slagle breezed over Williams at No. 6, 6-0, 6-0.
Brevard's Emily Barrick played an exhibition match as well, winning, 6-3, 6-2.
The Tornados go for ten in a row Friday when they host Lenoir-Rhyne at 3 p.m. Newberry faces Georgia College & State Tuesday at 2:30 p.m.

What is in this article?:
- The Business of Being Green: How Investing in Green Technology Today May Be Critical for Success Tomorrow
- Good Business
Topping Diamond Wipes International's new manufacturing facility in Chino, Calif., is a glittering 3,360 panel solar installation that is already churning out enough power to offset nearly all of its energy needs. On especially sunny days, it can even exceed those needs.
The installation is part of an ongoing environmentally conscious program in which Diamond Wipes, a mid-sized producer of disposable wet wipes, has invested $1.6 million over the last year -- about eight percent of the company's yearly earnings.
In an announcement for the installation, the company calls the investment "a bold leap forward in its green initiative."
|Diamond Wipes CEO, Eve Yen, stands with the Chino, Calif. solar installation, which is expected to generate 548,544 kilowatt hours of electricity per year.
This is probably an understatement.
The investment really highlights a fundamentally new way of doing business in a green economy, said Tom Hill, senior VP of marketing and sales and Diamond Wipes.
In this new model, consumer demand for green products from environmentally-focused companies is driving manufacturers to invest heavily in new technology with few (if any) immediate financial rewards.
"We feel we are being proactive in responding to a rapidly growing concern in the U.S. driven by the consumer," Hill said. Across the industry, he said that is translating "to more environmentally responsible management" among corporations, no matter the immediate cost.
He points to the solar installation as an example.
"The system we chose to use is an initial investment of about $1.6 million and we will see about 35 to 40 percent of that come back to us over time [through state and federal rebate programs]," he said. "But the bulk of this is on us. Based on projected savings, we're looking at a seven to eight year timeframe for payback."
In other words, Diamond Wipes has invested nearly a tenth of its 2011 earnings for the hope of (maybe) breaking even on energy savings sometime in the next decade.
From this perspective, the movement into solar seems absurd. Why would a company invest this amount of resources for a project with such far off and mild return on investment?
The answer: it's good business.

Kickoff for Health and Human Services Issue 1
(Cleveland) – Supporters kicked off the effort to pass Issue 1 for Health and Human Services Monday morning at MetroHealth Medical Center. They say Issue 1 protects critical health and human services available to children, seniors, families, and those facing a range of crisis situations across Cuyahoga County.
"Hundreds of thousands of area children, families and seniors depend on these lifesaving services," explained Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald. He continued, "State and federal funding cuts, have put these programs at risk. We must ensure these vital programs will be there for all of us — when we need them most — by voting FOR Issue 1."
During the event, residents took to the stage to tell their personal stories of determination, help, and healing; and urged every voter to stand with them in their support for Issue 1.
Jen Scibana, a Cleveland area resident involved in a car accident that nearly took her life, shared her story of healing after being critically injured and almost losing both arms.
Jen's life was saved by Metro Life Flight and the Level 1 Trauma and Burn Center at MetroHealth Medical Center. During the event, Jen explained that, "I would not be here today if not for the services provided by the Health and Human Services Levy.
County Councilwoman Yvonne Conwell said, "Voting FOR Issue 1 ensures that critical health and human services remain available to children, seniors, families, and those facing a range of crisis situations across Cuyahoga County."
Conwell says state and federal funds that support these programs are being slashed; these cuts combined with declines in local property values are putting the services in jeopardy. Without voter approval, FitzGerald says these programs will lose $76 million in funding by the end of next year, forcing deep cuts to critical emergency services, programs that protect children, help those people living with mental illness and a variety of services that seniors depend on.
Levy supported programs include:
Programs to protect children from abuse and neglect.
Critical emergency services like the Level One Trauma and Burn Center at MetroHealth, Metro Life Flight and the intensive care unit for newborns.
Early childhood and preschool education programs that ensure children enter school healthy and ready to learn.
Helping seniors to continue to live in their own homes with home health care and support services.

Checking the numbers on his Mega Millions ticket last week, Sith Nip of El Segundo was, at first, merely pleasantly surprised.
"Wow! I won $269. Awesome!" he said, after he checked the numbers for the draw on Nov. 27. But he read the winning message wrong: the award was for $269,746 - not $269. His world opened up.
"It's a lot of money," said Nip, speaking to a Lottery spokesperson. "I'm thinking of maybe putting a down payment on a house."
Nip's ticket successfully matched the numbers 9, 52, 13, 22, 38, missing only the Mega number of 44.
Nip, who declined a request for an interview with the Daily Breeze, told the Lottery spokesperson he plans to play again.
"This is good, but not good enough," Nip said, jokingly. "I'm not greedy. I just want to hit the jackpot once."
Nip bought his lucky ticket at Leonard's Liquor, at 630 N. Sepulveda Blvd. in El Segundo.
Another ticket, purchased at a 7-Eleven store on North Rosemead Boulevard in San Gabriel, hit the same numbers. The winner came forward late Monday afternoon, and Lottery officials plan to release the name Tuesday.

Unfortunately his #12 car spun after contact with the GT #57, which had already traded paint with the #1 Audi. The Lotus-Rebellion team were forced to pit to change tyres and were then handed a stop-go penalty. Come the next driver change, damaged bodywork was replaced costing the Swiss team more vital time.
Jani retook control and pushed to recover from seventh and finished the race sixth overall and third in the privateer class.
The sister #13 car, starting with Andrea Belicchi at the wheel from P6, made up places. Harold Primat took the second stint, which was equally strong, and finished ahead of Jani and Prost in fourth position and first of the non-works outfits.
Neel Jani: "I made a good start and put in a strong triple stint. At the mid race, we were, with Nico, fourth overall, one minute ahead of the petrol cars. The penalty and the unscheduled stops ended our race because we lost more than two minutes doing this. And as all the cars were driving more or less at the same speed, it has been impossible to catch back up. It's a pity but we have taken the points we could take. We are now fourth in the driver classification and are still aiming for the third place. And we are leading the FIA WEC Trophy of Best Privateer Team."
Harold Primat: "We have had a trouble free race. In a way, we have taken benefit of the troubles of our sister car #12. But it is good to see that when one car of the team can't succeed, the other one can. It shows that we are a strong team and I'm happy with that. Personally, I feel more competitive and we'll have to be more and more efficient to stay ahead."

'What You Gonna Do, Kill Us All?' Protesters Ask Ferguson Police
FERGUSON, Mo. — After a day of mostly peaceful protests over the death of an unarmed black teenager on Saturday, young protesters and police clashed in the streets of Ferguson, Missouri, as the sun set on this St. Louis suburb that is increasingly becoming the focus of national attention.
The second night of unrest followed the Saturday afternoon shooting death of 18-year-old Mike Brown by a cop who, residents and neighbors say, fired between seven and 10 bullets into his body, killing him and setting off a chain reaction that has the potential to become a case of national interest rivaling the death of Trayvon Martin.
By 8 p.m. Monday, police had blocked off a larger portion of West Florissant Avenue, the scene of looting Sunday night and protests all day Monday. With many residents approaching from the north, police began firing tear gas canisters to disperse the crowd and prevent vehicles from advancing. As acrid and stinging smoke filled the air, some expressed the rage and indignation that has been brewing since Brown's death. "What you gonna do, kill us all? This ain't the South," one man screamed at police. "All you motherfuckers, this ain't the South."
PHOTOS: Outrage in Ferguson
SWAT teams moved in and tear gas canisters were heard from the perimeter of what had essentially become a militarized zone. Hundreds of police swarmed the area while young African-American men taunted them and refused to go home. Others walked with their hands in the air, mimicking the gestures of someone showing they were unarmed. There were unconfirmed reports of police firing rubber bullets into the crowds.
In one video posted online by Antonio French, an alderman for the 21st Ward in St. Louis who was taking part in the protests, it appears a heavily armored policeman points a rifle briefly at the alderman and angrily waves him off.

A year ago, fashion designer Lauren Lilly moved her company, Yellow 108, to Long Beach.
She is among the 16 merchants who either have started or expanded their businesses in Long Beach in the past 18 months due to the city's burgeoning bicycle program.
"A big part of our brand identity is the cycling culture, partly because we are all avid cyclists, whether it's for transportation or fun," said Lilly, whose business at 1105 E. 3rd St. designs some products tailored for the biking community. "We chose our office specifically on a bike path on Third Street because it was a really great way to target our core demographic."
In an effort to become "the most bike-friendly city in the nation" within 10 years, Long Beach officials in the past few years have put more than $20 million of state and federal grants into hundreds of miles of bike lanes and bike paths, not to mention dozens of bike boxes, racks and corrals. Funds also have been spent on bicycle education and public safety campaigns.
And while many often associate cycling with an environmental advantage, there's also been an effort afoot by city officials and business owners to tout the movement's economic benefits.
Besides new or expanded businesses, the city's bike-friendly efforts have yielded four retail districts reporting "strong bike-related sales," along with three national conferences that will come to Long Beach in 2012 - a direct fiscal impact of $2 million, said Charlie Gandy, the city's mobility adviser.
"Economic benefit is an important element in sustainability to any program - Is that worth it to us?" he said. "And with literally millions of dollars being invested in Long Beach and millions of dollars being generated in Long Beach from tourists and others coming here related to the bike program, it is a smart economic strategy for Long Beach to embrace bicycling."
Merchants throughout Long Beach offer Saturday discounts to visiting velocipedes. (Check out bikelongbeach.org for a list of participating businesses).
"It's not only paying off in grants being delivered to the city and bike facilities being built ... but the business of bicycling is following that trend," Gandy said. "People want to have healthy, vibrant retail districts in their neighborhoods and they want to shop locally."
In its latest campaign, the city is highlighting the 16 merchants who made their moves because of the bike program. The list includes City Grounds, which expanded its third floor space and inventory to offer commuter and town bikes.
"Every one of them will point to the bike program as a catalyst for their decision to move where they are or to decide to move to Long Beach," he said. "(Bicyclists) are customers. They're buying lifestyles. They're buying bicycles, in terms of equipment for that lifestyle. They're buying apparel and entrepreneurs are sensing that and buying into that."
For Lilly of Yellow 108, who sold her car in August and relies mainly on her bicycle and public transit for transportation, the bicycling trend will continue to spread as more people move to a "car light" culture.
"It's not something that's going anywhere at all," she said. "If anything, it's going to be the beginning of a big deal in the states, especially in big cities."

Tu Bishvat is a minor Jewish holiday in the Hebrew month of Shevat, usually sometime in late January or early February, that marks the New Year of the Trees (Hebrew: ראש השנה לאילנות, Rosh HaShanah La'Ilanot) or the season in which the earliest-blooming trees in the Land of Israel emerge from their winter sleep and begin a new fruit-bearing cycle. It is customary to plant trees and eat dried fruits and nuts, especially figs, dates, raisins, carob, and almonds. In Israel, the flowering of the almond tree, which grows wild around the country, coincides with Tu Bishvat.
The origin of Tu Bishvat lies in the ancient Jewish taxation system, which was based mainly on the tithe of every farmer: The first tax was dedicated to the Levites, the men of sanctity and education; the second tithe was a means of securing the pilgrimage and strengthening national solidarity; and the tax of the poor was meant to safeguard, together with numerous other precepts (mitzvot), the social support system for the indigent of the land.
Only in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with the beginning of the Zionist movement that saw the Land of Israel as central to Jewish existence, did the holiday really become what we know it as today, the festival for planting trees or the Jewish version of Arbor Day.
This Tu Bishvat, I made two new dishes. For the main course, I decided to make Turkish köfte or kebab as they are called in Hebrew. They are basically small meat patties with grated onion, pistachios and spices. You will find a myriad of different variations of kebab. I served them with a tahina sauce and they were accompanied by a steamed artichoke and roasted potatoes with zaatar. I used Turkish red pepper flakes that have been roasted and rubbed with olive oil for this dish. They are not quite as hot as regular hot pepper flakes. This meat mixture can easily be prepared a day ahead and the dish is very quick and easy.
1 ½ cups pistachios
340 g (3/4lb) lamb
340g (3/4lb) beef
2 medium onions, grated
2 tsp ground cumin
1 teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
½ cup finely chopped flat leaf parsley
2 tablespoons olive oil
Make 2 cups
1 tablespoon ground cumin
¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ cup tahina
¼ cup water
Salt to taste
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon nigella seeds
Combine the meat, pistachios, onions, cumin, black pepper, red pepper and mix well. Refrigerate 2 hours or overnight.
Lightly knead parsley into the mixture. Roll into tablespoon size balls. Brown on a grill pan. Drain on paper and serve with tahina sauce.
Whisk lemon into the tahina, gradually add water until smooth. Season with salt. Add the garlic, black pepper and nigella seeds. Keep at room temperature.
The second dish I decided to make was a traditional fruit cake called Gubana from the Friuli region of Italy and also from neighboring Slovenia. The version I made is a yeast cake, almost like brioche, that is prepared as if you are making puff pastry. The dough is very forgiving and not difficult to make. The only catch about this recipe is that it is time consuming. You must make the dough a day ahead. This cake is sublime; it almost melts in your mouth, and Mr. BT was almost fainting with pleasure.
Already known at the time of the Romans, the Gubana's fame has increased over the centuries. Two versions exist: a "country" one (Gubana friulana) and an "urban" one (Gubana giuliana). The more refined latter type in fact has a flaky pastry shell and also contains, apart from the recipe of the former (raisins drenched in grappa, grated chocolate, almonds, walnuts, orange and citron peels, figs, plums and pine nuts), spices and candied fruits. The recipe I made is a combination of the Gubana Friulana and the Gubana Giuliana with a little touch of Baroness Tapuzina.
Every Friulian homemaker will have the "original" recipe for Gubana and they will differ from house to house and town to town. A tale is told about a poor mother living in the Natisone Valleys who had nothing to sweeten the Christmas meals with. So she prepared a cake made with what she had at home: flour, eggs, walnuts and honey. The regional tradition requires that the "Gubana" be present for every major festival, such as Christmas and Easter but also for wedding banquets; the bride and bridegroom used to present every guest with this delicious cake. The term "Gubana" is a Slovenian word deriving from "gubat", which means "to roll up". In the local dialect it is called "Gubanza", which became "Gubana" in Italian.
340g (3 sticks) unsalted butter, cold
3 3/4 cups all purpose flour
50g fresh yeast or 2 packages dry yeast
1/3 cup warm water
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 cup whole milk, room temperature
6 pitted prunes
6 dried figs
6 dried sour apricots
10 dried sour cherries
1/8 cup candied lemon
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup hazelnuts
1/2 cup walnut pieces
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup pine nuts
3 tablespoons grappa
Grated zest of 1 small orange
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 egg, lightly beaten with 1 tablespoon of water
To make the dough:
Cut the butter into small pieces and place it in a bowl. Sprinkle over 1/4 cup of the flour, and using your fingers, works the butter and flour together to make a uniform mixture. The butter should remain malleable. Shape the butter into a 10cm (4 inch) square, wrap it in plastic and set it aside in a cool place, but not in the refrigerator. Note: If you live in a hot climate, then put the butter in the refrigerator, but let it sit for a few minutes to become malleable before placing it on the dough.
In a small bowl, whisk together the yeast and warm water to dissolve the yeast. Add a pinch of sugar and let the mixture sit until foamy, about 5 minutes. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine 2 cups of flour with the salt. Add the yeast mixture, sugar, egg and milk. Using the paddle, beat the ingredients until smooth. Switch to the dough hook and knead in the remaining 1-1/2 cups of flour for about 3 to 5 minutes or until you have a smooth, elastic dough. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel, and let it relax for 30 to 45 minutes.
Turn the dough onto a well-floured board and roll it into a large rectangle, about 40 x 40 cm (16 x 16 inches). Sprinkle the surface with some flour.
Place the square of butter in the middle of the rectangle of dough.
Fold the left and right sides over the middle, then the top sides over that; the goal is to make a "package" of dough.
Sprinkle the work surface and the top of the dough, as well as your rolling pin. Roll the dough in from the middle toward the top and bottom, making a long rectangle, maintaining the width, but increasing the length.
Fold the bottom upwards to the center, making a flap, and then fold the top over that, making an envelope. Turn the dough clockwise, so that the top flap faces the right; the dough should resemble a book. Once again, flour the work surface, the dough and the rolling pin, and repeat the rolling and folding process. You will end up with another book fold. Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or overnight.
For the filling and assembly:
To make the filling, place all of the dried fruits and nuts, sugar, cocoa and spices into the food processor.
Process to chop until the fruit-nut mixture is finely chopped and the spices and cocoa are thoroughly combined. Add the grappa and orange zest, and pulse to incorporate them.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator. If it was stored overnight, you will have to allow it to come to room temperature for about an hour before attempting to roll it. On a lightly floured board, roll the dough into a large rectangle, about 38 x 55 cm (15 x 22 inches).
Spread the filling evenly across the center of the dough, leaving a 2.5 cm (1-inch) border at the near end and each side.
Roll the dough, jellyroll style, starting from the bottom, wide side; you will wind up with a long snake.
Grease a 25cm (10 inch) springform pan. Roll the snake into a tight coil, and lay it into the pan, seam side down. Brush the dough with melted butter. Cover the dough with a towel and allow it to rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 180C (350F). Brush the surface of the dough with egg glaze. Bake the Gubana on the center rack of the oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until golden brown. Rotate the pan halfway through the cooking period to ensure it browns evenly. Allow the Gubana to cool for 20 minutes in the pan, then carefully remove the sides of the pan to cool it completely. To serve, slice the cake in wedges. Gubana will keep wrapped in plastic up to 2 days.

Report: 4 gay NFL players could come out on the same day
Ravens linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo was released by Baltimore this offseason, and on the heels of comments earlier this week where he suggested that he was cut in part because of his outspoken stance on gay rights and equality issues, Ayanbadejo clarified himself to the Baltimore Sun on Friday. During an hour-long interview he made it clear that he harbors no resentment for the Ravens, and respects them for the support they offered him throughout his career both on and off the field. But that's not all.
When the conversation turned to his work with gay rights and the question of when we might see an openly gay player in the NFL, Ayanbadejo had this to say:
"I think it will happen sooner than you think," Ayanbadejo said. "We're in talks with a handful of players who are considering it. There are up to four players being talked to right now and they're trying to be organized so they can come out on the same day together. It would make a major splash and take the pressure off one guy. It would be a monumental day if a handful or a few guys come out."

LISTEN: Taylor Swift's New '80s-inspired song 'Sweeter Than Fiction'
Listen to Taylor Swift on iHeartRadio
It's from the movie One Chance, which is about an opera singer who wins Britain's Got Talent. It's more T-Swift sweetness about the glory of being in love, but with a synth-y chorus that totally has an "If You Leave" thing going on. We always knew Taylor would be pretty in pink.

Do We Know What Causes Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in Children?
The exact cause of most cases of childhood non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is not known. However, scientists have found that the risk of this cancer is higher if the child has any of the conditions described in What Are the Risk Factors for Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in Children? Many of these conditions are related to problems with the immune system.
Scientists have found that certain changes in the DNA inside normal lymphocytes can make them become lymphoma cells. Normal human cells grow and function based mainly on the information contained in each cell's chromosomes. Human DNA is packaged in 23 pairs of chromosomes, which are long molecules of DNA in each cell. DNA is the chemical that makes up our genes – the instructions for how our cells function. We look like our parents because they are the source of our DNA. But our genes affect more than the way we look.
Some genes control when our cells grow, divide into new cells, and die. Certain genes that help cells grow and divide or help them live longer are called oncogenes. Others that slow down cell division or make cells die at the right time are called tumor suppressor genes.
Each time a cell prepares to divide into 2 new cells, it must make a new copy of the DNA in its chromosomes. This process is not perfect, and errors can occur in the DNA. Cancers can be caused by DNA mutations (changes) that turn on oncogenes or turn off tumor suppressor genes.
For example, translocations are a type of DNA change that can cause NHL to develop. A translocation means that DNA from one chromosome breaks off and attaches to a different chromosome. When this happens, oncogenes can be turned on or tumor suppressor genes can be turned off.
Some people inherit DNA changes from a parent that increase their risk for some types of cancer. But NHL is not one of the cancer types often caused by these inherited mutations.
Usually, DNA changes related to NHL occur during life rather than having been inherited before birth. In rare cases, these acquired changes result from exposure to radiation or other factors. But often they occur for no apparent reason.
The combination of immune deficiencies (from inherited conditions, drug treatment, or HIV infection) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection can cause some types of NHL. EBV infects B lymphocytes. It can make the cells grow, divide, and live longer than they should. In young adults infected with EBV, it often causes infectious mononucleosis, also known as mono. Mono is usually not a serious disease because the person's immune system destroys the B cells that are infected with EBV. But when children have an immune deficiency, EBV-infected B cells may grow and accumulate. These cells have an increased risk for DNA changes. If these changes affect certain oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes, lymphoma may develop.
Scientists have learned a lot about the gene changes commonly seen in lymphoma cells. This is being used to develop better tests to detect and classify certain types of NHL. Some of these discoveries are being used to create new treatments as well.
Most children who develop NHL in the United States do not have an immune deficiency or evidence of EBV infection. Even though researchers have found many of the key DNA changes in lymphoma cells, they still do not know what causes them in children without these risk factors.

A: If your child was arrested and taken away from you:
If your child is sent to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ), he or she will go to a "reception center" for the first 30 to 90 days. The center will find out what education and treatment your child needs. Then your child will go a correctional facility or youth camp.
Find the DJJ's reception centers.
A: Sometimes. Not all records can be sealed. Your child can file a petition to have the records sealed after he or she turns 18. Or you can file a petition 5 or 6 years after the case is over.
If the court approves the petition, all records of the case and the arrest will be sealed. Get help from your child's lawyer or probation officer.
A: The three-strikes law says that some serious or violent crimes can count as strikes in the future. This can happen even if the records are sealed.
A: A child who is 14 years old can be tried in adult court for some serious crimes.
Here are some examples:
There are big differences between juvenile court and adult court. If the state wants to try your child as an adult, talk to a lawyer about what can happen.
A: Your child can only be sent to adult prison (CDCR) if he or she is tried in adult court. If your child is tried in adult court, talk to a lawyer.
Even if your child is sentenced to adult prison, he or she will stay at the DJJ until he or she is at least 16.
If your child is at least 16, the judge can send him or her directly to adult prison. Or if your child's sentence ends before he or she turns 21, the judge can let him or her stay at the DJJ the whole time. If the sentence is longer, your child will go to the CDCR on his or her 18th birthday.
A: Yes. You may have to pay the victim if the court orders "restitution." Restitution is money to compensate for losses or damage caused by your child. For example, you may have to pay for what your child stole, or for the victim's medical bills or lost wages.
A: Yes. Unless you are the victim, you will get a bill and must pay for:
This can be expensive. You can talk to the court about your financial ability to pay these fees and costs.
A: If the case is in juvenile court, the file is confidential. Certain parties directly connected to the case may have access to a juvenile court file. In certain circumstances, the court may order access to a juvenile court file. If the case is in family court, the file is not confidential and can be obtained through the court clerk's office.
A: As a victim of crime, you have rights. You have a right to information and a right to participate in the court process. Read Your Rights and Role in the Juvenile Court Process: Information for Victims to learn about these rights.
For more information, read Victims Rights and Services by the Office of Victim and Survivor Rights and Services - Juvenile Services Unit.
And you can also contact the Crime Victim/Witness Assistance Center for help in your county.
