1st ODI: Versatile Virat Kohli's ton fails to save India against New Zealand
Give bat, will hit. That seems to be the mantra for Virat Kohli as the maverick batsman helped himself to a confident century (123 off 111) in a losing cause against hosts New Zealand in the first ODI.
On a pitch that required application from batsmen, India's Virat Kohli showed once again that he was at complete ease. The 25-year-old slammed 123 - his 18th ton in the 50-over format, in a match that New Zealand eventually claimed by 24 runs in Napier.
For New Zealand pacers, the strategy was simple - raw pace to bully India. And it worked to an extent. Defending 292, the hosts dislodged Rohit Sharma (3) early, while Shikhar Dhawan (32) failed to build on his start yet again. Ajinkya Rahane (7) and Suresh Raina (18) too failed to make an impression. Kohli at the other end though, was a pillar of strength and played his natural, aggressive game.
Coming to the middle at his usual number three spot, the batsman showed little regard for Tim Southee - a seasoned campaigner with 74 ODIs under his belt, and Adam Milne who hardly bowled below the 145kmph mark.
Kiwi skipper Brendon McCullum used his pacers from either ends but while success came from one end, Kohli remained solid at the other and scored at a brisk pace, even hitting Nathan McCullum for a mammoth six - his fifty coming off 58 deliveries.
Kohli got much-needed support from the other end when skipper MS Dhoni (40 off 46) walked in. The two kept the score ticking at a steady pace and once the asking rate acquired daunting proportions, changed gears swiftly to unleash a flurry of boundaries once again - Kohli completing his century off 93 deliveries with 10 fours and one six.
His wicket eventually - going for the cover-drive off Mitchell McClenaghan but finding Jesse Ryder - gave Kiwis the breakthrough and despite some late hitting from Ravichandran Ashwin, India stopped 24 runs short with eight balls to spare.

When accepting a check, the assumption is that the person writing the check has the funds available to cover the amount. This is not always the case. A check can be verified by contacting the institution from which the funds are being drawn. Verifying if a check is good prior to depositing will avoid unnecessary bounced check fees and overdraft fees.
Locate the name and address of the banking institution the check is drawn upon. This information is typically located below the dollar amount line and above the "For" line of the check. A check must have the name and address of the institution listed for the check to be valid.
Contact the banking institution. Contact can be made by calling or by going into a branch location.
Provide the account number to the banking representative. The account number is the middle set of numbers at the bottom of the check.
Give the bank representative the amount of the check and ask if there are enough funds to clear the account. If the money is in the account, the check can be cashed. If the funds were verified by phone, go into a branch location to cash the check. Going to the branch directly removes the chance that money will be removed from the account before your check clears.
Tips & Warnings
- Determine whether a check is valid with the writer of the check present. That way, if the funds are not available, other methods of payment can be arranged.

Hope for a Good Season: The Ca'e Bankers of Harkers Island
Carmine Prioli
Down Home Press
$15.95 paperback
9 x 7 ½
119 pages
black-and-white photography throughout
Edwin Martin, photography
Published in 1998
The people who lived near Cape Lookout on North Carolina's Core Banks were a hardy band of fishermen and whale hunters. Driven inland by devastating storms, many settled on nearby Harkers Island, where they and their descendants continued their seafaring ways, fishing and becoming widely known for building distinctive boats. But modern times brought new opportunities and drastic change. Outsiders came; land prices soared; fishing stocks dwindled; tourists arrived in droves. But some Harkers Island natives still cling to tradition, facing each new year with hope for a good season. It is they who are featured in this book about a way of life that is soon to disappear.
"This book gives a wonderful look at what life is like and used to be like on Harker's Island, a fishing community that is now being populated by weekend tourists and the well-off retired. Before life became so hectic and full of modern conveniences, the people of the island were fishermen and boat builders, working very hard by the sweat of their brows just to make enough money to feed their families. Through hard work and endurance, they did just that. This book not only tells a little about yesterday, but it tells of the few remaining fishermen and boat builders on Harkers Island. Fascinating is the life of Eddie Willis and his family. Edwin Martin's wonderful photographs capture the way of life of these people like no one else's could. Mr. Prioli does an excellent job telling the stories of these hard-working people. I strongly recommend this book not only because of the fishing community, but it will give the reader a greater appreciation for what he has."

Interested in Giza?
We'll send you updates with the latest deals, reviews and articles for Giza each week.
This list is about all that I saw in Egypt during my tour. We booked our tour at a travel agency called Nile Travel (a dutch site). They hired a local agency called Sakkara Tours to provide us with guids. The guides speak good english and also other languages. Both very good and experienced agencies.
As said, this list contains everything I saw. If needed I placed tips, do's or don'ts with the attraction. Would you like to know more about what I think about these attractions, check out my reviews.
If you are blond with blue/geen eyes, be prepared to be stared at. People think that is real beauty. They take pictures (don't always ask) or would like to shake your hand.
November is the month in which starts in high season in Egypt. I believe it is always high season in Egypt. Everyone is going at any time of the year. People told us because of the revolution people stayed home. So it wasn't very touristy at all. We decided to make a tour trough Egypt because the temperature is less hot.
Which makes it easier to walk around and see things. But the temperatures were still around 25-30 degrees day time. In the evening it's starting to get chilly so make sure you bring a jacket or a warm vest.
For those who think it is dangerous to visit Egypt after the revolution. We didn't felt in danger at all in Egypt. People are very friendly and helpful. Very chatty. Yes, lots of them wanna sell things, but smile and say no thanks. Just go to this beautiful country and enjoy its kind people and history.
Bring some extra cash along so you can buy a ticket for entering one of the pyramids. Price in nov 2011: 100 LE. Unable to pay with euro's.Go into the desert where there is a place where you can take pictures of all three pyramids. Visit the Sound and Light Show
Bring some extra cash along so you can buy a ticket for seeing the mummies. One ticket is for two rooms: One room with Kings and one with Queens. Price in nov 2011: 100 LP. Unable to pay with euro's.
If you are not into crowds or traders touching you, trying to pull you into their shops, avoid this Bazaar. And buy you souvenirs elswhere. They sell the same stuff everywhere.
Visit the fallen statue of Ramses II. Visit only if you are into the history of Egypt.
Visit the first ever build pyramid: step pyramid of Djoser. Visit only if you are into the history of Egypt. Unable to enter the pyramid.
Garden is on a island. We went there by felucca. I almost have no time in Aswan, skip the garden.
Make a cruise over the Nile from Aswan to Luxor. Max. 3 day cruise is perfect. Enough time to see all the highlights along the river.
Visit this temple by night, if you got the chance
Visit the temple of Horus in Edfu. Go there by carriage.
See the floodgates of Isna (Esna) and its dam
Have a walk trough Luxor, or take a carriage. Even in the evening it is save. If you would like to do excursions here, make it local. Buying an excursion at your travel agency is 3 times more expensive then a local men with a carriage. You will see the same stuff.
Visit this temple in the evening, when it's dark
If you have time, visit the Luxor Museum
No pictures allowed. Make sure you visit the grave of Ramses IV. Only allowed to visit 3 graves
No pictures allowed. Make sure you visit the grave of Ramses II son
Make sure you won't only do a camel ride in the deset. Expencive and disappointing. Book a super safari (with quad riding)

MacBook Pro to come with Retina Display and ultra-thin design
May 14, 2012 at 3:24 pm
Apple's MacBook Pro line has been rumored to be getting an update sometime this year.
According to 9to5Mac, the design of the new Macs won't be a copy of the MacBook Air, as it was initially rumored, but will borrow elements from it.
The updated MacBook Pro will look more like a thinner version of the current MacBook Pro.
Cupertino plans to release a 15-inch MacBook Pro with a high-resolution "Retina" display, currently found on the iPhone 4/4S and new iPad.
The site also writes that that Apple has been testing USB 3.0 technology lately and the port could be brought to the new Macs thanks to Intel's Ivy Bridge processors.
The new USB 3.0 ports won't replace Thunderbolt, but coexist with it.
The new models will be thinner as they will no longer have a CD / DVD drive and will come with the same unibody aluminum case that equips the current MacBook Pros and the MacBook Air.

Simio invites you to participate in our biannual simulation contest. This is open to both graduate and undergraduate student teams. In addition to the fame and glory ("bragging rights" and exposing your work to potential employers) there will be cash prizes totaling $3000, twice a year.
Here is a brief summary of the May 2017 problem (January through May 2017) that is a realistic supply chain logistic problem:
An American group of pulp and paper manufacturers is increasingly aware of inefficiencies in obtaining wood as a raw material. Because they operate independently, very often logging trucks drive past one mill to deliver to a competitor mill, adding potentially avoidable transportation cost into the system. They are aware of a European consortium that controls wood deliveries to minimize logistics cost.
They want to evaluate the creation of a new consortium to manage wood deliveries to their mills. The objective would be to minimize logistics cost. There are 3 mills in an area, each consuming 4-6k tons of wood per day, running continuously. Each mill involved has independent demand and maximum inventory, and some have offsite "drop yards" for additional inventory. Wood is cut from in the region by small owner-operator logging companies. Each independent logging operation has its own cutting and delivery capacity that varies seasonally.
The consortium would like a representation of the present system as well as the proposed system so they can evaluate the potential required investment, best operational parameters, and expected savings.
This problem will not only challenge student model-building skills, but also require some creativity, project management, and even video production and presentation skills. We believe that students will find participation to be both interesting and valuable.
Unfortunately, registration is now closed. If you want to be notified of the next competition, visit here!
Judging will be done by an independent panel of judges drawn internationally from both academic and commercial simulation practitioners. Judging is based on a 10-item scoring system where each item is worth between 0.0 and 3.0 points. For more detail see the Contest Judging Criteria.

ABC's FlashForward entered the fall season as one of television's most anticipated series, largely because there were so many comparisons to the excellent Lost. Featuring common cast members, mind-bending mysteries, and some nifty Lost cross-promotion, the comparisons were justified. But I know Lost, and FlashForward is no Lost.
I've got a better comparison to make: FlashForward is the new Heroes (and that's not a compliment). I'm really trying to like the show, but it just won't let me. And that's why after three episodes, it's time to let FlashForward go. (Yes, I know I'm setting myself up as public enemy number one here, feel free to throw rocks in my direction.)
The premise for the uninitiated: FlashForward is about the aftermath of a worldwide blackout of the lost consciousness variety. Everyone experiences visions of their future exactly six months ahead. Thematically, FlashForward tackles free will, human relations, and the dangers of knowing the future. Sounds like a killer premise, right? It is, but a killer premise does not a good show make (see: Heroes).
We'll ignore the gaping plot holes (the greatest worldwide disaster ever and everyone goes back to normal?), because that would be too easy. At its best, FlashForward is a mediocre Jerry Bruckheimer-esque sci-fi film -- along the lines of Deep Impact -- or a second-rate Independence Day or some other movie that takes itself way too seriously. The producers aren't afraid to use music cues and other tricks to pound into viewers' brains that a certain scene is dramatic (remember Joe Fiennes' slow-mo sprint in the pilot? Barf!) -- even when said scenes are fairly dull (see: Heroes). If one new show tries too hard this season, it's FlashForward.
The dialogue isn't helping either. Check out this gem from last night's episode:
American Lady: Isn't this where Sophie Scholl and the rest of the White Rose Nazi resistance group were executed?
German Escort Man: If I'm not mistaken your country eradicated its indigenous Indian population and practiced institutionalized slavery for 250 years.
Joe Fiennes: We also gave the world Britney Spears.
Me: I think I just threw up in my mouth.
Lost has its occasional dialogue flubs, but what it does incredibly well is show the audience what it wants them to know rather than tell them. FlashForward is so surface-level that it's flat.
*Side-note: There's a little drinking game you can play while watching FlashForward -- take a gulp every time someone says "Flash Forward," you'll be tanked by the second commercial break and better suited to watch the rest of the episode.
Acting-wise, FlashForward is in trouble as well. Fiennes plays the lead character like a man who has a permanent worried or shamed look on his face, and his character is still as thin as a piece of paper. The only people bringing anything to their roles are John Cho, who is excellent as Korean-American FBI agent Demetri Noh, and Courtney B. Vance, who plays his supervisor. Everyone else, way too one-dimensional (see: Heroes).
It's unfortunate that FlashForward wasn't able to execute its premise better, it could really have been a deep-thinking show. I'm hoping it can turn around soon.

Here's the news - or at least part of it - that you've been waiting for.
The NFL has issued a statement announcing that it will allow teams to open their doors to players at 8 a.m. Friday morning.
Players will be handed their playbooks, and they will be allowed to workout, get treatment, watch film and meet with coaches.
The league has not yet announced how it will handle transactions, or when the official start of the league year will begin, but that information should come soon.
Here's the NFL statement, in full:
"The NFL clubs have been notified that we have requested from the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals a stay of the preliminary injunction issued late Monday afternoon by the Federal District Court. Pending further guidance from the Eighth Circuit, we believe it is appropriate for clubs to take additional steps in response to the preliminary injunction. The clubs were informed of the steps below that will be effective on Friday at 8 am ET following tonight's first round of the NFL Draft. Clubs are free to contact players immediately to advise them of the hours that the facility will be open for their use, to schedule medical and rehabilitation activity, and to arrange meetings with coaches or related activity, such as film study or classroom work.
1. Players will be permitted to use club facilities for physical examinations, rehabilitation and medical treatment, as scheduled by the club.
2. Clubs will be permitted to distribute playbooks, game film and other similar materials to players.
3. Coaches may meet with players for the purpose of discussing any materials distributed to players under item 2 above, as well as the club's off-season workout program, its schedule of mini-camps, Organized Team Activities ("OTAs"), and other similar matters.
4. Voluntary off-season workout programs, including OTAs and classroom instruction, may begin subject to the rules in Article XXXV of the 2006 CBA and Appendix L. Participating players will be paid $130 per day, provided the player fulfills the club's reasonable off-season workout requirements. Such workouts will count toward the requirements of any off-season workout bonus in the player's contract.
5. On days during which no official off-season workouts or OTAs are scheduled under item 4 above, nothing shall prevent the club from permitting any player to use the club facility to work out on his own on a voluntary, unpaid basis during normal business hours, or such other hours as may be set by the club, provided: (i) there is no participation or supervision by any coach, trainer or other club personnel; and (ii) the club has first verified that the player has an existing medical insurance policy in place. Players without such personal coverage should not be permitted to work out at the club facility on an unsupervised basis under this item 5, but may do so under item 4 above. Unsupervised workouts will not count toward the requirements of any off-season workout bonus in the player's contract. This item 5 will apply both prior to and after the commencement of the club's official off-season workout program.
6. Mandatory and voluntary mini-camps may begin subject to the rules in Article XXXVI of the 2006 CBA.
7. The league office will promptly make arrangements to resume counseling, rehabilitation and treatment activities in connection with the substances of abuse and steroid programs. We will advise clubs as to when and on what basis testing will commence.
8. Players may participate in club-sponsored charitable and community relations events.
With respect to player transactions (such as signings, trades of player contracts, terminations, tryouts, etc.), we plan to distribute to all clubs, likely tomorrow, a comprehensive set of procedures governing such transactions. This will include the timing for the commencement of the 2011 League Year, free agent signings and other customary player transactions."

text: Those that follow professional wrestling closely, they are aware of how hectic the travel schedule is when you are under contract to WWE. More often than not, performers are living out of a suitcase four days out of the week. It makes it really difficult to have a normal life. For someone like Karl Anderson, though, the World Wrestling Entertainment schedule is considered a bit of a break. Being away from his family for four days at a time is not nearly as bad as being away from them for a month at a time. Anderson mentioned that he sometimes was away for six weeks at a time with New Japan, so he definitely prefers being back in the United States.Categories: Tidbits, WWE

Speaker: Amy Lynch, Associate and Speaker BridgeWorks, LLC
Speaker Biography: Amy Lynch specializes in high-energy, interactive keynotes and workshops that help companies align and engage all generations. A Baby Boomer herself, she understands the differences between generations as well as the key needs and values that bring them together. She helps leaders, managers, and co-workers understand how to turn generational awareness into action, providing practical solutions for how to recruit, retain, train, engage, and communication with all four generations more effectively. Her work is based on hundreds of interviews, focus groups, and surveys with the Traditionalists, Boomers, Generation Xers, and Millennials who make up today's workforce.
For more than 10 years, Amy has been researching the generations and wrote the award- winning book How Can You Say That? about parent-teen communication. Today she brings her deep understanding of the psychology and work ethic of each generation to the workplace.
Amy has received rave reviews from clients such as MTV, Comcast and RSM McGladrey. Her ideas have been featured in USA Today, the Boston Globe, the Chicago Tribune, the Dallas Morning News, the Washington Post, the Atlanta Journal Constitution and NBC Nightly News, among others.
As a conscious observer of the millions of Millennials around the world making an impact in their communities and companies, Amy helps organizations deal with the challenges of effectively recruiting, managing, and retaining top young talent. Her success is driven by her unique ability to communicate and connect with all four generations to help them better understand not only their differences, but their commonalities, thus creating engaging environments for employees, customers and members.
Session Description: Do different generations in your association have different ideas about communication and collaboration?

– Understand the four generations they work with daily.
– Recognize the stereotypes that prevent us from understanding different generations.
– Calculate the costs of failing to bridge critical generation gaps at work.
– Communicate effectively with all four generations of staff, co-workers, and customers.
– Understand the importance of succession planning and knowledge transfer and how people at every level in an organization can play a critical role.
– Evaluate and make changes in an organization's culture that will enable all generations to thrive.
Session Description: After many years observing Board of Directors, Julie believes the underlying reason why many micromanage is they truly have no idea what their role is in relationship to each other nor the community as a whole. Julie believes it is up to us as management professionals to guide Board members to a path of constructive stewardship. Constructive stewardship leads Boards away from destructive micromanagement. This serves not only the Boards and their communities it serves management.

Beads, sewn to black netting, once adorned this dress.
Sans beads.
My DIL found and fell in love with this soft orange dress at a local thrift shop. It was decorated with tons of beads, some of which had come loose. She thought a patchwork of blue, cream and brown fabrics would be a great substitution.
The beads were fairly easy to remove, as they were sewn to a net base. Once I'd gotten them off, I noticed the triangles weren't uniform in size. My solution? Print a copy of the beads themselves and use it as a guideline.
Bead trim
That idea proved impractical. Next, I cut a paper pattern for the proposed patchwork and folded it into equal segments. Not a winner either. After fooling around with ideas for a while, I decided to do my own little Project Runway!
The dress was draped on a dress form (also found at the thrift store years ago). I was amazed at how much easier it was to design the patchwork on the actual dress. My prototype was finished tonight. After a bit of tweaking, I'll do the final stitching tomorrow.
This has been a challenge, as I don't usually work within certain parameters. But I enjoy figuring out how to make things work, so this has been fun.
Film at 11.

Christina Aguilera gave an interview to Redbook days after she announced her separation from husband Jordan Bratman last week.
"It's not easy, and there have been a lot of tears and sadness," she said. "It's impossible to redefine yourself and your life overnight. Thankfully, I have my mom and a small group of close friends who are there for me 24/7 and whom I can trust and depend on. On days when it feels impossible to even get out of bed, much less function as a mother, their support and encouragement have kept me moving forward."
Christina and Jordan have been married nearly five years and have a 2-year-old son, Max.
"Thankfully, I have Max to keep me on a sane path," she told Redbook. "His needs and happiness are my top priorities, and my biggest concern is to protect him and make him feel safe."
The singer declined to tell the magazine about the reasons behind the split or comment on rumors of infidelity.

In 1996, the U.S. government enacted the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA. The law is meant to keep a patient's medical information private.
Showing a Friend
If any health-care provider shares medical information about you without your consent, that is a HIPAA violation. This includes telling people of your condition, discussing your condition in public, or using your information in a medical brief (an instructional tool for other doctors like a book or a presentation) without your consent.
Excessive Views
Too many looks at a medical record can suggest a violation of the law. As HIPAAPS.com notes, one woman learned her records had been accessed more than 200 times by various employees of the hospital. Sometimes, this happens when a patient with an abnormal condition comes into an office or because people are simply curious.
Improper Disposal
Offices and hospitals are required to shred and dispose of any medical records. Most hospitals have disposal services. If records are thrown out whole, they are at a risk of getting get stolen or read. The HIPAA violation would be against the hospital because of neglect.
Health Discrimination
Sometimes, employers violate HIPAA. If an official from the company you work for reads your medical information and uses it to make a decision about you, that is a violation. An example is if your employer finds out from a doctor that you are pregnant or mentally unstable and you get fired because of it.
Celebrities and HIPAA
Medical records of celebrities or politicians are occasionally sold to newspapers or tabloids. The people who leaked the medical information are at risk of being prosecuted for HIPAA violations because the information was given out without the person's approval.

Campaigning for the approx. 2 million people in the UK
adversely affected by modern lighting.
Do consider adding your name to the Lightmare petition
Co-ordinator : If you are interested in taking on the role, please see page 'NEW CO-ORDINATOR'
In the meantime please contact the Webmaster who will either answer your query or forward it to someone who will
Technical Adviser & Webmaster: Fr John Ryder, The Vicarage, Church Hill, Godshill, Ventnor, PO38 3HY
email@example.com Tel: 01983 300421
Role of the New Co-Ordinator
Spectrum: The Alliance
The Spectrum Alliance is an alliance of Health Charities & Patient Support Groups, namely Lupus UK (incl. The Eclipse Support Group and Lupus Europe), Migraine Action, The XP Support Group, and ES-UK. As such it works within the United Kingdom and the EU only. The Co-ordinator works on behalf of, and is answerable to the member charities.
The Alliance has no political view and does not engage in tangential issues such as climate change. We are a one-issue alliance: the adverse health effects of the present forms of energy-saving lighting and the need to retain incandescent lightbulbs until another proven safe alternative is found. (We are not an alliance for the retention of incandescent lighting per se.)
While we have always been happy to offer information and advice to individuals, and to people from other countries, it is only the above charities who are members of the alliance. Individuals and friends of the Alliance, for whose support and help we are grateful, nevertheless need to understand:
- They should not write letters or carry out any activities in the name of Spectrum Alliance without the prior consent of the Charities.
- All correspondence and ideas should be directed to the Charities via the Co-ordinator.
- Any posters, leaflets etc., can only be ratified by the Charities.
- It should be made clear to everyone that Spectrum Alliance is a non-funded organisation.
- The Charities have the final say in all matters.
Spectrum: The Co-ordinator
The Coordinator of Spectrum is the person who is responsible with the charity representatives for planning and seeing that our work is furthered efficiently: i.e. to campaign and liaise on the charities' behalf with the UK Government (mainly DoH & DEFRA) and the EU for safe lighting for our members. This would begin by finding out where Catherine Hessett left off, and discussing the priorities with the member charities.
A person who wants to apply for the position of coordinator must be a good communicator, and must have (or be willing to quickly acquire) a basic knowledge of the different illnesses which we represent, and the type of lighting that badly affects each group.
He/she should be independent and self-motivated.
It would be preferred if he/she was a sufferer but not necessary.
He/she must have good communication (verbal and written) and interpersonal skills, and be competent on the computer.
Modus operandi
- He/she should be determined and committed, and have the good name of the Spectrum Alliance at heart.
- All letters, posters, leaflets etc., should be ratified by the Charities.
- Contact with MPs, MEPs, EU and UK Government, the Press etc., should have the ratification of the Charities. No letter may be sent or action taken on behalf of the Alliance until it has been sent for approval to all the member charities, and a time (decided by the co-ordinator, but at least 3 days) given for response. The matter must not be pursued or letter sent until the time has elapsed, and the co-ordinator has received a positive answer from at least two charities, and no negative answers.
- A person's or group's name may not be used without obtaining their prior permission.
- The Charities have the final say in all matters.
While we are happy for the campaigning to be robust, we want to maintain and build on the few positive relationships we have already made, especially within the UK government.
We have a history of providing good moral and informational support to the co-ordinator, and have always been willing to cover out-of-pocket expenses provided that these are approved by the charities in advance.
Anyone wishing to take on this important role should email John Ryder (firstname.lastname@example.com) by the end of May giving some background about him/herself and his/her ideas for the campaign; the offer will then be circulated amongst the charities.

12 Oct A Day In The Life: Erica Lewandowski
On any given Tuesday night, you can find Erica Lewandowski leading a loud and proud POUND class in an old warehouse, every strike of her Ripstix echoing off of the old wooden floors. Erica chose to host classes in a nightclub because it seemed like a no-brainer.
"I wanted to give my students the most authentic rockstar experience possible," she said. "What location could be better than a nightclub?"
The club is an old industrial warehouse, complete with a huge stage and professional lighting and sound. Erica says that it's loud… really LOUD. When her students walk in the door, she says she can see it on their faces—they're ready to get in the zone and be a rockstar for the next 45 minutes.
She also said that, interestingly, those that attend POUND in the club aren't necessarily gym-goers.
"These are people who aren't comfortable walking into that gym environment and the way they feel intimidated by the equipment or the group fitness room," she said. "With the club, I think because it's so vastly different from a gym—it looks different, it feels different, you've got lights on and a stage and music—it doesn't feel anything like a gym. It provides a very unique comfort zone for people."
Erica said that the class attracts people who love the dynamic experience that the club offers that a gym can't.
"There's that element of badassery that you have there that you don't necessarily have in the gym," she said. "From the moment students walk in, they know they are in for an experience unlike any other. It's an absolute judgement free zone—no mirrors, no gym creepers peeping in, just us and the music!"
Kristen Reed, one of Erica's devoted POUND Posse members, said that she goes to Erica's classes at the club and the gym.
"I love taking Erica's class because it's a fantastic workout that is just FUN," Kristen said. "I've lost 75 pounds in the past 17 months and Erica and POUND have played such an important role in that. Erica is one of my biggest cheerleaders."
Rotz and Gloria Arnold are a couple in their late seventies who take POUND 3-5 times a week, and are dedicated members of Erica's POUND Posse.
"We joined the class because Rotz was diagnosed with degenerative muscle problems. Doing this class is is most helpful physically for him," Gloria said. "We go to POUND class four days a week and really wish it was every day, as we both enjoy Erica's class so much. POUND is an exhilarating class for the entire body for all ages. Erica is a super instructor who we love very much."
As far as which tracks Erica loves to teach in the club, she said "Killing In the Name Of" is most definitely on her playlist.
"That's one of those where you just feel the vibe of the song," Erica said. "It meshes so well with where you are and the atmosphere of that club that you get that rockstar feel."
Erica lives in Milwaukee, WI. She has been married for 15 years, is a mom to a 13-year-old daughter, is a badass POUND Pro, and works as a Special Enforcement Manager in the Department of Neighborhood Services for the City of Milwaukee. And her POUND motto? "Have the passion, take the action, and the magic will happen!"
We think she's the definition of a rebel, in POUND, at work, and in life, too. As a Special Enforcement Manager, Erica works alongside the police to abate nuisance properties in Milwaukee's toughest neighborhoods. But getting there was no cake walk.
"In my professional industry, I've always had to fight stereotypes and work extra hard to change the mindsets of others," she explained. "I can't tell you how many times people have said to me, 'Oh, you must be his secretary, I was waiting to speak with a manager!' when I answer my phone. I let that roll off my back, make a joke, and keep working. I believe in letting my work ethic, my team's work product, and the positive impacts we make in the City of Milwaukee do the talking."
Erica describes herself as tenacious and extremely goal driven. She sets her expectations high and always gives 110% to everything she does. And, like any true rebel, she doesn't take no for an answer.
Case and point? After returning to work from an extended maternity leave, Erica applied for her first promotion into management. But the hiring manager told her, "If you hadn't gone and had that kid, you would have gotten the job."
"His casual remark hit deep," Erica said. "It stung. I went from feeling shocked, to angry, to depressed and withdrawn. I had heard that it was hard for women to return to the work force and be successful after having children, and for a while I believed that my opportunity to advance my career had passed, even though I knew I had more to offer."
For a year, she focused her energy into family, fitness, and friends, passing up several other opportunities for management positions for fear of rejection.
"Finally, I'd had enough—I knew I had so much more to offer, and needed to make a radical change to get there," Erica said.
Erica took the position as a Special Enforcement Inspector. She visited drug houses, gang hotspots, and crime scenes. She saw child and animal neglect and criminal behavior. It was a hard job filled with long hours and stressful conditions. And yet, Erica said she has experienced some of the most challenging and life changing moments of her life.
"The rest, you could say, is history," she said. "I knew I'd found my niche. I worked hard, saw positive results in the community, was recognized for my achievements, and ultimately became a top manager in the department."
That makes Erica a rebel in our book.
"To me, being a rebel is about confidence. It's about facing your fears, your doubters, your haters, and gracefully moving past them to something better," Erica said. "It's about leading by example, taking risks, and being ok with success or failure, as we learn and grow from both."
And Erica is most certainly a leader. She is in charge of the team that deals with tough community issues like illegally occupied residences and drug dens.
The other night at work, for example, Erica's team went to a property that was illegally occupied, with no power, no water, and unsanitary conditions. Essentially, it was not up to code and therefore dangerous. Drug addicted individuals had taken up residence there, and because children were involved that weren't being cared for, her team had paired up with Child Protective Services. The mother of the child was so heavily into drugs that she wasn't even completely coherent, and the child was evidently relying on a neighbor with no relation to the child for care, Erica said.
"[Child Protective Services] worked to try to find a better location for the child and we worked to close the property with rampant drug use, occurring right in front of us," she said.
This is just one of many situations that Erica and her team encounter.
"These are things that we see on a daily basis and are common in all communities throughout the country," Erica said. "Not a lot of municipalities are addressing these issues head on in these environments with the collaborative approach we employ on a daily basis."
Erica said that she tries to empower others by giving them a safe place to test their boundaries, learn from their mistakes, and most of all, feel supported in their efforts. In her day job this means shattering glass ceilings, throwing tradition aside and leading a team of professionals to find satisfaction in what could otherwise be stressful, discouraging, and sometimes heartbreaking work, she said.
And in POUND?
"This truly means giving permission to rock by embracing every person that walks through the door, with a smile, a positive attitude, and applauding their accomplishments, big or small!" she said.
A few months ago, Erica said she arrived at the gym to find an older woman sitting quietly in the group fitness room, waiting for her. The woman told Erica that her husband had died about eight weeks ago, and that she needed to do something for herself. The woman asked if it would be okay to join the class that day. Obviously, Erica welcomed her in POUND's arms enthusiastically.
"She was my hero! We had a good cry, a great class, and she's been with me ever since—she's a true rebel in my book," Erica said.
Erica said that when she thinks of the POUND community and POUND's presence in her life, she admittedly gets a little teary eyed.
"I've cried at every POUND training I've taken," she said. "I am just so honored and proud to be a part of the POUND community—our POUND posse embodies a culture of acceptance, kindness, and empowerment that is unlike anything else I've experienced. It enriches my life far beyond the gym."
As a rebel herself, Erica said that her POUND community has given her a support system of likeminded badasses that she couldn't be more grateful for.
"The culture of POUND also attracts the most authentic, kind, kickass students! They really are fitness rebels," she said. "They don't realize how much they give back to us Pros—in their smiles, their dedication and hard work, and for me, fully embracing me in all my sweaty silliness. I can't wait to see what the future holds for the brand, POUND Pros, and all those we touch with the magic of POUND, and I'm just so excited to be a part of it."

Paris, France (SPX) Oct 16, 2013
Trina Solar took to the stage at PVSEC 2013 to provide an evaluation of current PV production costs and assess what the company believes will be the decisive buying factors for PV in the coming years.
PVSEC Europe - held this year in Paris, 30 September to 4 October - is the largest international conference and trade show for research, technology, and solutions companies in the PV industry.
It gathers the global PV community to conduct business, to network, and to present and discuss the latest developments and innovations in photovoltaics. It is a world-renowned science-to-science, business-to-business, and science-to-industry platform with an exclusive focus on the global solar sector.
Dr Pierre Verlinden is Trina's Solar Chief Scientist and Vice Chair of the State Key Laboratory of PV Science and Technology (PVST), and a member of the PVSEC International Scientific Advisory Committee (ISAC). He has an extensive track record in the PV industry and strong technical experience in R and D management, high-efficiency silicon and multi-junction III-V solar cells, manufacturing of high-efficiency solar cells and concentrator PV systems.
In his keynote speech, "Cost Analysis of Current Production and Strategy for Future Silicon PV Modules", Dr Verlinden presented his views on the current cost of PV manufacturing.
Dr Verlinden explored the manufacturing realities behind plummeting PV module prices between 2008 and 2012, revealing that the 82 per cent drop in ASP, and a 70 per cent fall in manufacturing costs over the same period, were largely attributable to the falling cost of silicon - non-silicon cost has dropped by only 48.4 per cent, almost in line with the "learning curve" model.
He also predicted that cost reductions will continue to follow this model, which forecasts a 20 per cent drop for every doubling of the cumulative production.
Dr Verlinden stated his firm belief that price will, however, stay constant, suggesting that the key challenge for the industry in future will be identifying how to regain sufficient gross margin to maintain profitability and sustainable growth. Finally, Dr Verlinden also predicted that there may be further market supply constraints due to the cost and availability of silver.
"If prices have reached bottom and will stay more or less flat, what factors will shape customer decisions? What differentiates PV products from each other? Customers are now more educated and have more information available to them, such as independent laboratory test results. Customer decisions will be now based mainly on two key factors: reliability and LCOE (levelised cost of electricity)," he said.
"Reliability is expensive. PV companies cannot offer the highest quality module at the lowest cost," he continued.
"But what we can do is offer a highly reliable product that is adapted to a particular climate, design a cell that has a better energy efficiency at a typical irradiance, optimise the energy production rate for each typical climate, focus on reduction of LCOE instead of $/Watt, and educate customers about the particular attributes of PV modules," Dr Verlinden concluded.
Trina Solar offers a number of products that help lower LCOE, including double-glass modules for improved reliability and Trinasmart for improved energy production and lower O&M cost. The company also presented the results of a new cell in pilot production that has reached 20.54 per cent efficiency for lower LCOE.
At PVSEC Europe, Dr Verlinden participated in the Moderated Policy Panel Discussion on Monday 30 September, and chaired the "PV Value Chain" session held on Wednesday 2 October.
Finally, Dr Verlinden co-authored five other papers presented at the EU PVSEC Conferences:
+ Preventing the Formation of Voids in the Rear Local Contact Areas for Industrial-Type PERC Solar Cells
+ Injection Dependent Emitter J0 Measurement under Metallised Areas Using Photoconductance Decay
+ High-Reliability and Long-Durability Double-Glass Module with Crystalline Silicon Solar Cells with Fire-Safety Class-A Certification
+ Analysis of the Series Resistance of Industrial Crystalline Silicon Solar Cells by Numerical Device Simulation and Analytical Modelling
+ An Inline Assessing Method for Multi-Crystalline Wafer Based on PL and CCD Images

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliation
We use non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate our performance and in
making financial and operational decisions. When viewed in conjunction
with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, we believe
that our presentation of these measures provides investors with greater
transparency and a greater understanding of factors affecting our
financial condition and results of operations than GAAP measures alone.
In addition, we believe the presentation of these measures is useful to
investors for period-to-period comparison of results because the items
described below as adjustments to GAAP are not reflective of our core
business performance. These financial measures are not in accordance
with, or an alternative to, GAAP financial measures and may be different
from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We use these adjusted
results because we believe they more clearly highlight trends in our
business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP
financial measures, since these measures eliminate from our results
specific financial items that have less bearing on our core operating
performance. We strongly recommend that investors review the GAAP
financial measures included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, including
our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.
Adjusted net income attributable to ICE common shareholders and adjusted
diluted earnings per share for the periods presented below are
calculated by adding or subtracting the adjustments described below,
which are not reflective of our cash operations and core business
performance, and their related income tax effect and other tax
adjustments (in millions, except for per share amounts):

- As the FOSS Movement has been growing rapidly in recent years, more and more stakeholders are brought in to participate in different roles. Some of them are end-users, developers, business entities, or government agencies that provide funding for FOSS projects. This e-primer is designed to provide these stakeholders with some basic knowledge about copyright, software copyright and FOSS licenses. Legal issues may vary in different situations and this e-primer may not be able to provide answers to all situations. But, hopefully, it will serve as a bridge between lawyers and non-lawyers in this joint venture of FOSS development.
