www.Issuu.com (pronounced Issue) is a site that aims to allow individuals and companies to publish documents on the web. Users can upload PDF, Microsoft Office files (PPT, Doc) or various open document formats. Issuu allows readers to view read-only versions of such documents using only a web browser with Flash. Issuu is typically used for brochures and other commercial publications, but is also suited for newsletters, magazines and creative stuff.
Usage and ease of use
A user can flip through the pages in a web browser while seeing one or two pages at a time in a "paper-like" format. When you click to get the next page, the page is fetched from Issuu's server. Although later pages are prefetched when possible, this can take a few seconds because the page is typically fetched as a bitmap rather than as text. A progress bar indicates how long this will take. On a slow connection, the speed can be a bit irritating if you want to browse quickly. Although, on the one hand, browsing is clearly slower than on a local PDF file, the time to load a page is roughly comparable to the time it would take to load a comparable HTML page containing multiple images.
Pages are displayed in an elegant format with superimposed shadows to suggest curvature. What you see resembles a stack of double-sided pages stapled together at the spine (magazine format). The look and feel of the web site has a bit of Nintendo Wii design to it: clean, easy to use and a bit innovative styling. The document doesn't give you visual clues about how long it is: a 3-page memo, and 30-page magazine and a 300-page book start out looking pretty much the same.
Example documents
For some reason, typical Issuu documents themselves tend to look professional (e.g. advertisements, photo books, art books) rather than just being simple text or designed by beginners. Recent (selected?) publications in early September 2009 show a wide range of documents:
- Two issues of Design Magazine – a free 200+ page magazine on "every possible design discipline". The publisher is based in South Africa. The magazine contains advertisements.
- A free magazine about Ghost Tours in the US East Coast. Its publisher is Travel Virginia! magazine which embeds Issuu's document viewer on their website. The documents look like those distributed for free by travel agencies.
- The Good American Post, a free local newsletter for the Colorado area: "Your Local Source for Good News".
- A set of scanned fake voting ballots documenting election fraud in the Philippines.
- A Bulgarian "Business and Lifestyle" magazine containing lots of advertisements.
- The 2010 US-version of the IKEA Catalogue, uploaded by a Dianna Dilworth, who describes herself as a digital reporter. IKEA itself puts the catalogue online itself using software from ecSoftware (the ecBook software looks similar to Issuu and has some extra features like the ability to add links to pages).
- A real estate Buyer's Guide for the Main/New Hampshire area. Actually there were two slightly different copies (due to an update?).
- Three management and training books (one in Vietnamese, one from Elsevier, one published by the Canadian government). The uploader's relationship to these (explicitly copyrighted) works was not specified.
- The first 21 pages of a 128-page "graphic novel" (comic book) related to Count Dracula that is about to be published commercially.
- A booklet with photos of an Australian charity project in Nairobi, Kenya.
With free version of Issuu, documents can be up to 500 pages long and up to 100 MBytes in size. The 500 page limit is fine, because documents that long are impractical anyway. The 100 MByte limit caused me to have to split a 200 page book (to be printed via Blurb.com) into multiple chapters. This is because the BookSmart software I was using renders pages to PDF by converting photos and text to bitmaps (this requires a CutePDF printer driver). At 300 dot/inch, this can easily several MBytes per page. At lower resolutions (e.g. 150 dot/inch) the output files are smaller, but font readability starts to suffer.
Business model
Although both the document owner and the document reader can use Issuu's service's for free, Issuu hopes to make money providing "Pro" accounts which allow bigger documents and via some form of context-aware advertisement: like Google, Issuu knows what the user has looked at and what searches the user did. Presumably Issuu is still in he venture capital phase: they seem to concentrate on getting a big readership and leave the advertising income for later.
My own documents
I am currently using Issuu to distribute a draft of our Andalusia book (to be printed at Blurb.com) so that it can be reviewed by the coauthors. See, for example, the introduction chapter. The other chapters (e.g. on the Roman excavations in Italica) have less text and more photos.

En español | In ancient India, cloves were believed to help toothaches, a theory that holds true today. Ancient cultures have long supported the use of food as medicine. Spices and herbs in particular can help protect us from illnesses and heal us from common ailments.
Today, professionals from alternative healers to nutritionists are rediscovering the benefits of herbs — and almost every day new research confirms much of the ancient wisdom surrounding spices. Gurpareet Bains, author of Indian Superfood, says that recent Agriculture Department research shows that nearly a quarter of the top antioxidant-rich foods are, in fact, spices.
During the cold winter months, many spices and herbs offer taste as well as cold- and flu-fighting properties. "Cinnamon and cloves contain potent antibacterial, antiviral, analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties — perfect for the winter months, and far tastier than cold and flu drugs," says Bains.
We picked a few spices that play well with winter foods, such as root vegetables, stews and soups, and asked leading spice experts to tell us the health benefits and how we can incorporate them into winter meals.
Warren Sheir, co-author of Ancient Wisdom, Modern Kitchen: Recipes From the East for Health, Healing, and Long Life, notes that sage, a European and Mediterranean herb, often is used as a topical antiseptic, such as a mouthwash to treat inflamed gums or as a gargle to help a sore throat. This claim is supported by a 2006 study published by the European Journal of Medical Research.
Sheir advises using fresh sage instead of dried where possible. "Sage is one of the many herbs where the real 'medicinal' component is found in the oil, and the oil is found only in fresh sage," he says
Usage: Sage is a hearty herb; a flavor enhancer for stuffing, sautéed mushrooms, roasted tomatoes, roasted butternut squash or pumpkin, baked apples, or roasted peaches. Try it in meat stews or let the herb steep in hot water to make a tea.
Kami McBride, of the Living Awareness Institute and author of The Herbal Kitchen, says, "Cinnamon may help you digest the nutrients in food. It increases the flow of blood and oxygen to the digestive tract, improving your ability to digest proteins and fat." Two 2006 studies show that it is a powerful antioxidant and able to lower cholesterol, triglycerides and glucose. Another study ranked cinnamon as fourth out of 500 foods highest in antioxidant content.
Usage: Make a cinnamon-honey condiment with 1 cup honey and 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon. Store in a covered jar and use on pancakes. "At our house, we keep this honey on our kitchen table and put it on morning toast and oatmeal. It also makes a delicious digestive tea or flavoring for pancake batter and muffins. Spreading cinnamon honey on your morning toast can warm you up on a winter morning, reduce your susceptibility to a cold and stimulate digestion," says McBride.
Cinnamon is also great in savory dishes such as lamb stews, rice casseroles, ratatouille and moussaka.

Movie SummaryAbsurdistan
Description: As the date on which Aya's grandmother predicted that the pretty young girl and her childhood sweetheart would consummate their relationship draws near, the frustrated couple finds their perfect moment threatened by a battle of the sexes that sweeps through their once-thriving village. There was a time when the village of Absurdian was considered a paradise, yet lately it looks like a dried-up wasteland due to a troubling shortage of water. Years ago, Aya's grandmother foresaw a night when the stars would align in the sky, and two young lovers would come together in a cosmic embrace. Now that night is drawing near, though the women in Absurdian have grown frustrated with the men of the village. Though young inventor Temelko believes he may have come up with a creative solution to the remote hamlet's water woes, his apathetic elders respond to the proposal with ridicule and disdain. As the women of Absurdian take a pledge of abstinence in response to male inaction, young lovers Temelko and Aya begin to question whether the encounter they have spent their young lives anticipating will ultimately be foiled by events beyond their control.~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide Movie summaries and listings powered by Cinema-Source

Dem Pulls Out of Kansas Senate Race
Chad Taylor, the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in Kansas, has withdrawn his candidacy. Wednesday was the last day for candidates to request their names be taken off of the ballot. Taylor's last-minute withdrawal may now force a tough reelection campaign for Sen. Pat Roberts. Independent George Orman may give the Republican a run for his money now that he won't have to split the anti-incumbent vote with Taylor. If the Democrats don't offer up another candidate to replace Taylor, Roberts, who already battled through a tough primary, may not make it through the general election for senator.

Kanye West And Kim Kardashian Purchase $11 Million Mansion
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian want to make sure they live in a house big enough to hold their ego, and have purchased an $11 million mansion in Bel Air, Los Angeles.
Kim and Kanye, who recently turned down a $3 million offer for the first photos of their baby, are showing the world that they clearly don't need the extra dough and have gone forward and bought themselves a nice 10,000 square foot home in Bel Air. The home will include a movie theater (where Kanye can watch his own concerts all day), a full hair and makeup salon, because God knows that Kim doesn't really look like that, two pools, a basketball court, and a bowling alley. All the these new editions will bump up the home to 14,000 square feet.
The home is under construction, because adding all those amenities and rooms for the numerous maids and babysitters that will raise their child takes time.
What does everyone think of Kim and Kanye's new purchase? Too small for their egos?

Ceftazidime injection is used to treat many kinds of bacterial infections, including severe or life-threatening forms.
Ceftazidime may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What are the possible side effects of ceftazidime injection (Fortaz)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:
- diarrhea that is watery or bloody;
- swelling, pain, or irritation where the injection was given;
- cold feeling, discoloration, or skin changes in your fingers;
- seizure (black-out or convulsions);
- white patches or sores inside your mouth or on your lip;

This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Read the Fortaz (ceftazidime) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
What is the most important information I should know about ceftazidime injection (Fortaz)?
Do not use this medication if you are allergic to ceftazidime, or to similar antibiotics, such as Ceclor, Ceftin, Cefzil, Duricef, Keflex, Omnicef, Spectracef, Suprax, and others.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney disease, diabetes, heart failure, cancer, a stomach or intestinal disorder, if you are malnourished, or if you are allergic to penicillin.
Ceftazidime can make birth control pills less effective. Ask your doctor about using a non-hormone method of birth control (such as a condom, diaphragm, spermicide) to prevent pregnancy while using ceftazidime.
Use this medicine for the full prescribed length of time. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cleared. Skipping doses may also increase your risk of further infection that is resistant to antibiotics. Ceftazidime will not treat a viral infection such as the common cold or flu.
Antibiotic medicines can cause diarrhea, which may be a sign of a new infection. If you have diarrhea that is watery or has blood in it, call your doctor. Do not use any medicine to stop the diarrhea unless your doctor has told you to.
This medication can cause unusual results with certain lab tests for glucose (sugar) in the urine. Tell any doctor who treats you that you are using ceftazidime.

Chicken with Capers
I Heart Cooking Clubs theme this week is from the earth and our Chef is Rick Bayless. I don't own any of Rick's cookbooks, so I went to our local library to check them out. Ahem. Our local library doesn't even have one of his books. So, I've been finding recipes on the internet and this one from Season 5, Mexico-One Plate at a Time sounded good. I thought about ordering one of his books, but really, the last thing I want to do is start collecting more of anything.
Because I don't very often follow recipes when making dinner, I had fun putting this together. I would never have added cloves to a chicken recipe - it just isn't something that would occur to me. I did add it to this because I was following a recipe and I'm glad I did, although I couldn't detect the flavor. Served with some buttered orzo, this was a delicious meal with a combination of sweet, salty, savory, and spicy flavors.
Chicken with Capers - adapted from Rick Bayless
chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
3 T olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2-14 oz. cans fire-roasted diced tomatoes
3 large jalapenos, seeded and thinly sliced
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 c coarsely chopped pitted green olives
3 T capers, coarsely chopped, plus 1 T brine
1/4 c raisins
3 cups water
Dry chicken on paper towels. In a large Dutch
oven, heat the oil. Lay the chicken in the pan and brown until golden. Remove
chicken from pan.
Add the onions to the pan and cook until
browned, about 10 minutes. Add tomatoes and jalapenos; cover and cook for 5
minutes. Uncover and cook until slightly reduced, about 20 minutes. Add spices,
olives, capers, brine, raisins, and 3 cups water. Put the chicken back into the
pan, cover and cook until the meat is cooked, about 25-35 minutes.
13 comments:
I haven't bought any of ricks books yet either. But that has a slightly other reason that is because i am afraid that most recipes contain ingredients that are hard to get around here. I haven't been able to find a place that sells fresh jalapenos, habaneros, tomatillos or poblanos and other.... But i have been buying books from former featered chefs and they are all great! Great pick for this week.

Blessing of Salvation
this wiki
The subject of this article was removed from World of Warcraft in patch 3.0.2.
- "Let those who would stand between death and their fellows be as mighty as dragons, and those who would stand behind them be as subtle as the dragon's shadow."
Blesses a member of the Paladin's party with Salvation, allowing their enemies to focus on those more equipped to withstand an assault.
Rank | Level | Mana Cost | Cost |
1 | 26 | 6% Base Mana | 54 |
Greater Blessing of Salvation Edit
Paladins also have Greater Blessings, which includes a Greater Blessing of Salvation which can be learned (purchased) from the Class Trainer. Each Greater Blessing affects all players of the targeted class within your party or raid and lasts for 30 minutes (as of patch 2.2).
Each Greater Blessing you cast requires the reagent Symbol of Kings which can be bought at any reagent vendor.
Tips and Tactics Edit
Preventing aggro being drawn away from the main tank is critical in many instances and raid encounters, and Salvation helps make this happen less often.
It is usually the best blessing for damage dealers in raid in term of damage improvement, except hunters, or some rogues during boss encounters. In the ideal case, a 30% threat reduction means you can give out 1/(1-0.3) = 143% of your original threat-limited damage output before pulling aggro. In reality, your damage will not jump up by 43% immediately unless you have such potential damage output. However, a 20-30% increase in damage output is common, and probably no other single buff can give an improvement close to this.
Hunters are exception because their threat reduction ability Feign Death is so effective. There is no question that Salvation is the best for rogues when clearing trash. However, during boss encounters, some rogues prefer Salvation and others prefer Blessing of Might. Generally speaking, if the tanks' threat output is much greater than that of the rogues, Blessing of Might + a timely Vanish is better. If the rogues' threat output is much greater than that of the tanks, Blessing of Salvation (with or without Vanish) is better.
Notes Edit
This does stack with Tranquil Air Totem multiplicatively, for about 44% total threat reduction.
Patch changesEdit
- / Patch 3.0.2 (14-Oct-2008): Removed.
- Patch 1.3.0 (07-Mar-2005): Now castable on all raid targets.

The Oscars are just a couple days away, and surely one of the big highlights of the event will be the speeches — for better or for worse. As Melissa Leo can surely attest, a bad or bizarre (or both) Oscar speech can be the next morning's top water cooler topic, and haunt you for the rest of your career.
So Indiewire asked our trusty New York interns — Cristina Alejandra Gonzalez, Mark E. Lukenbill, Cameron Sinz and Erin Whitney — to browse through the Academy's archive of past Oscar speeches and pick out 10 that stood out as examples for whoever makes it to the podium this weekend (note that they are all from the past 15 years or so, as the Academy archive doesn't go back much further).
For your consideration…
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon (Best Original Screenplay, 1998)
Hollywood loves a feel good story and no story is sweeter than that of childhood friends who grow up to not only act together but write an Oscar-winning film. Looking back at Ben Affleck's and Matt Damon's Oscar speech for "Good Will Hunting" we can see just how far the pair have come. Understandably nervous and joyous at their first big win they rush through their thank you's, Ben's voice cracks on several occasions and they make charming asides about their haphazard speech. Adding to their appeal, their speech ended with a thank to the city of Boston; demonstrating their humility and appreciation for a pivotal moment in their lives. While they are now regularly cool calm and collected, their creative endeavors are still plentiful as we can see from this year's "Argo" and "Promised Land." [Cristina Alejandra Gonzalez]
Michael Caine (Best Supporting Actor, 2000)
It's not uncommon for award winners to mention their fellow nominees in their acceptance speeches, but none have gone so far to dedicate their speech to the others as the humble Sir Michael Caine did. Honored with his first Oscar in 1987 for "Hannah and Her Sisters," Caine was kept from accepting his golden statue by filming "Jaws: The Revenge," two terribly unfortunate things. Twelve years and five Oscar nominations later the Cockney actor finally got his chance to take the spotlight with his Best Supporting win for "The Cider House Rules," but instead turned it over to admire the other nominees. After a 20-second standing ovation Caine insisted that while he won the Oscar, he was not the winner and went on to admire the performances and careers of Jude Law, Tom Cruise, Michael Clarke Duncan, and specifically pointed out 11-year-old Haley Joel Osment, giving him probably the best compliment of his young life. If anyone knows how to accept an Oscar with genuine respect and finesse it's a knighted Sir. [Erin Whitney]
Marion Cotillard (Best Actress, 2007)
It's always exciting to watch an actor completely lose themselves to the shock and joy of winning on stage, but the bursting emotions of Marion Cotillard in 2007 were a genuine delight. Approaching the stage for her Best Actress win for "La Vie En Rose" with hands clasped over her mouth — almost as surprised as fellow nominee Cate Blanchett's excited reaction — Cotillard was the true definition of speechless. Nearly shaking she gasped for air to thank director Olivier Dahan, gasped a few more times, then not knowing what more to say spoke from the heart exclaiming, "Thank you life! Thank you love! It is true, there is some angels in this city!" Sometimes the best speeches come from those who truly let themselves unravel on stage, letting reactions say more than words. [Erin Whitney]
Glen Hansard and Market Irglova (Best Original Song, 2008)
John Carney's "Once" is a ragged, sweetly affectionate ultra low-budget film that turned into an international sensation. In a whimsical move fitting of the musical's story, stars Glen Hansard, then best known for fronting the Irish folk-rock band The Frames, and Marketa Irglova, virtually an unknown, won an Oscar for "Falling Slowly," the gorgeous song that served as the film's finest moment. The two Irish lovebirds, who at the time were a real-life couple, approached the podium beaming ecstatically. Hansard launched into totally humble and sincere stream of graciousness, but when Marketa got up to the mic she was immediately cut off the music, so she just nodded and smiled obediently. Luckily, host Jon Stewart was impressed by the duo's humility and brought Marketa back on stage later in the show to make up for it, and the audience was treated to an eloquent, adorable, and heart-wrenching minute of Marketa praising the merits of hope. The duo's genuine underdog humility is more than a little refreshing in a night usually weighed down in self-congratulation. [Mark E Lukenbill]
James Marsh, Simon Chinn, and Phlippe Petit (Best Documentary Feature, 2008)
"Project Nim" director James Marsh might not be on the best terms with the Academy recently after last year's (totally justifiable) remarks that their inability to pick the best documentaries of the year as nominees made them "look stupid," but back in 2008 Marsh's thrilling breakout hit "Man on Wire" nabbed the prize for Best Doc. As soon as Marsh and producer Simon Chinn took the stage, Marsh commanded, "Philippe, you've got about twenty second to get up here," and up sprang his compellingly odd subject, the giddy tightrope walker Philippe Petit. Both Marsh and Chinn have short, charming thanks to their families before quickly turning over the mic to the showman Petit. "May [my kids] continue to have big dreams, but may they please not do what this man does," Chinn gave as introduction to Petit, who was met with loud cheering and applause from the expectant audience. Petit didn't disappoint. First, he made a coin given to him by Werner Herzog disappear and thanked the Academy for believing in magic and then balanced the Oscar on his nose. We're not saying being a magician is an Oscar prerequisite (Surely Michael Haneke must know a card trick or two?), but it certainly makes for more compelling television than your average laundry list of thank yous. [Mark E Lukenbill]
Luke Matheny (Best Live Action Short Film, 2011)
The odds seem to be stacked against Luke Matheny when his short film "God of Love" won the award for Best Live Action Short during the 2011 Oscars. The competitors ranged from the tragic existentialism of "The Confession" to the cancer-stricken virginity lost sort "Wish 143," and Matheny's NYU-financed quirky love story hardly held the same thematic elements. But while the subject matter of both his speech and his film may have been lacking some of the "depth" of his fellow nominees, he was more than able to make up for it with his sheer earnest charm, which was likely what got him the award in the first place. Beginning with an off-hand remark lamenting not cutting his hair before the evening, Matheny's speech was filled with the kind of goofy charisma lacking in much of the Hollywood industry. During an Oscar reception as dull as any in recent memory, Matheny's win was a noticeably encouraging moment for the industry, and hopefully an example of the kind of up and coming independent winners we will see much more of in the ceremony's future. [Cameron Sinz]
Mo'Nique (Best Supporting Actress, 2010)
One of the most powerful, moving, and revering of acceptance speeches — of and from the winner — was surprisingly made by a stand-up comedienne. Mo'Nique's speech for her Best Supporting Actress win for "Precious" was one of sheer gratitude and praise as she dedicated it to the first ever African American Oscar winner Hattie McDaniel. Not only showing tribute to the "Gone With the Wind" actress through words, Mo'Nique also honored her and all that her achievement had done for black actors by wearing a similar royal blue dress and flower hair piece that McDaniel wore at the 1940 Oscars. Mo'Nique also addressed the previous controversy behind many journalists urging her to campaign harder to win by repeating her husband's for sound advice saying, "Sometimes you have to forego doing what's popular in order to do what's right." [Erin Whitney]
Christopher Plummer (Best Supporting Actor, 2012)
The fact that this speech saved last years' Oscars from being a total drag makes it all the more noteworthy. In an otherwise lifeless and insipid ceremony, Christopher Plummer not only won his first Oscar, but became the oldest recipient of an award in Oscar history at 82 for his subtle, tender role as an ailing, recently outed gay retiree in Mike Mills' Beginners. Opening with the brilliant line, "You're only two years older than me, darling. Where have you been all of my life?" Plummer proved himself to be a class act and a champion of patience. He even took a moment to sincerely congratulate all of his fellow nominees by name, which for peculiarly nominated "Moneyball" actor Jonah Hill should be a prestigious honor all in itself. The extraordinary, uplifting circumstances of the award aside, Plummer proved himself to be so damn good at gracious acceptance speeches that the Academy had to be kicking themselves for not awarding him sooner. Watch it here (embedding was disabled). [Mark E Lukenbill]
Steven Soderbergh (Best Director, 2001)
With Steven Soderbergh bowing into an early retirement this year, it only seems fitting to look back at a watershed year in the director's career. In 2001, Soderbergh was nominated for Best Director in not one but two films: "Erin Brokovich" and "Traffic," both of which were also nominated for Best Picture. So odds were clearly in his favor when he won the Directing prize (for "Traffic"). Still, the pre-bald director didn't gloat, and opted to dedicate his award to "anyone who spends part of their day creating." He backed the statement up with a few extraordinarily eloquent, and yet clearly improvised, lines in favor of making art and thanked artists worldwide, as "life would be unlivable" without them. It's inspiring stuff, and certainly a nice, selfless way to get at what the awards are (or should be) really about. [Mark E Lukenbill]
Three 6 Mafia (Best Original Song, 2006)
The simple act of awarding Three 6 Mafia an Oscar would likely be enough to instantly put this award on any short list of Academy Award recipients. But when the trio took the stage after shockingly beating out the likes of Dolly Parton and a contribution from that year's best-picture winner "Crash," the most memorable part came when all three members got on stage and did the one thing strangely absent from most year's broadcasts: they genuinely celebrated, in the process thanking everyone from their family and choreographers to Ludacris and George Clooney. Best Original Song is a notoriously sterile category, and after Eminem's refusal to make an appearance for his 2002 win for "Lose Yourself," Three 6 Mafia's win and speech marked a major step forward for the award's consideration, and provided some great television in the process. As host Jon Stewart described after they left the stage, "that's how you accept an Oscar." [Cameron Sinz]

"My husband and I love to get gourmet coffees from the coffee shop but the price keeps it from being a regular treat. This recipe is an easy at home alternative. We both really loved it!"
Reviewed Mar. 8, 2010
"I really enjoyed this coffee, but when making the coffee, I used a "medium roasted" coffee rather than dark roasted, and the brand I used was, Folger's Gourmet Selections Lively Columbian Medium Roast. I also cut the
recipe in half, but did add about 3/4 to 1 tsp of the vanilla extract. Be sure this coffee is good and hot when serving, as the whipped cream does cool down the coffee somewhat.For all those coffee lovers out there, I highly recommend this recipe. This is one coffee others will certainly enjoy. "Thank you" Bernice for sharing this recipe. It's a keeper!!"

I found that the display was too dim, with insufficient contrast to see the time from across the room. Also the zero digits on the time display have lines through them. This makes sense to differentiate Number 0 from letter o for radio stations, but makes it difficult to tell 8s from 0s in the time display. As the review says, the brightness is not adjustable in the menu, probably because the dispay's basic contrast is not particularly good. For the technically competent, the modification of soldering a 680 ohm resistor across the light sensor photodiode makes the display back light work at full brightness at all times. Much Better! I found the menus pretty easy to navigate without reference to the instructions, which is always a good sign. The sound is pretty good too considering the plastic housing.
I have the same problem as Andrew does the display is not bright enough and so small you cant read it if you have the clock at the end of your bed. I was very disapointed with this clock after paying alot of money for it. The other functions on it are easy to use and work well but its just the poor display and size of the display that lets this down. I had to go out and buy a new alarm clock in the end as i just couldnt cope with this one.
For those wondering my eye sight is pretty good i dont wear glasses or nothing and still struggled to see the display from maybe 2 meters away.
Horses for courses: the great thing about this DAB is the very dim display. It is bright enough during day and gets right down to VERY dim at night. This is actually perfect for those of us who don't like digital displays that can be bright enough to read by! Few displays dim right down in darkness. And it is a bedside radio (clue in the name) - designed to be visible from the bedside, not the other side of a room.
I have this Pure Siesta Mi Series 2 & the display is bright & very clear love the Auto-dimming LCD display & Automatic clock updates
Received this as a b'dY present, as i had been lloking for an alarm with preset radiostations, like any car has. This does have the preset stations, but, as the light dims in the dark, you cannot read anything it says without putting glasses on, or the lights. The manufacturer seems to think it's an assett, I wish i could change it!!!!
Got this after my Pure Mini's on/off switch stopped working. For a company that sells itself on great British design, you'd think they could manage the basics but unfortunately not. Both the Mini and my Oasis (£100) have terribly unreliable power switches (and the Oasis battery is an expensive joke, BTW). Sound quality is, however, worth the aggravation. BUT this little clock radio is TINNY. Not as ridiculously pricey as the other models, but horrible sound. Really disappointed with Pure on this count.

"We're in a situation of total emergency, the worst crisis we have ever lived through" said ex-premier Felipe Gonzalez, the country's elder statesman.
The warning came as the yields on Spanish 10-year bonds spiked to 6.7pc, pushing the "risk premium" over German Bunds to a post-euro high of 540 basis points. The IBEX index of stocks in Madrid fell 2.6pc, the lowest since the dotcom bust in 2003.
The buzz is that Greece is an afterthought and that the Euro either lives or dies based on the immediate response to Spain.
Matthew Lynne at MarketWatch argues that Spain will leave the Euro before Greece, a comment that sounds preposterous, but which is interesting as an emblem of the way people are talking about Spain.
Matthew Yglesias at Slate has the same take, although a bit more sober. "Greece is a distraction," he says.

Android Market Now Lists Handset Compatibility
Jun 9, 2011, 9:13 AM by Eric M. Zeman @phonescooper
Google has added a feature to the Android Market that lets developers specify which handsets their application will work with best. The tool should help prevent customers from downloading apps that aren't supported by their handsets.
more info at Android Central »
Good, but nearly pointless
Netflix also has a list of "supported" phones and people still comment how it doesn't work on their unsupported phone and bash them for the app.
It would make common sense that people wouldn"t dow load what is not supported, but clearly they don't pay attention.
This will be nice for the people that do though!

Comic-Con 2012 is right around the corner, kicking off Thursday, July 12th (though there's a screening of "Dredd" and some TV pilots on Wednesday night), and Entertainment Weekly has unveiled a long-ass banner/poster from Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey." "The Scroll," as it's called, evidently stitches together ten scenes from the film under one big image and since it's massive, we've broken the images up. EW's site is a bit more interactive and has a zoom tool if you want to take a super close look at Gollum, Bilbo, the numerous dwarves, Gandalf, Mirkwood forest and more.
Having created quite the mixed-results stir at CinemaCon earlier this year, it'll be curious to see if the footage from "The Hobbit" at Comic-Con will be presented in its controversial 48-frames-per-second format. There's been talk that the film will be available in both 48fps — which many audience members felt looked like bad hi-def TV and jarring — and 24fps when it hits theaters. Our guess is they'll present the footage in regular 24fps to avoid any more negative press, but who knows — Peter Jackson has sounded confident that audiences will eventually embrace it within the context of the entire film.
'An Unexpected Journey' hits theaters on December 14th. More details from Comic-Con will roll in this week.

Submitted by Anne Downes, Veterinary Technician and Veterinary Assistant Program
Although a strong argument could be made in favor of mosquitoes and the important role they play in the ecosystem, I think it would be fair to say that most people do not look forward to their arrival in the spring time.
As many pet owners know, the return of mosquitoes means that "heartworm season" has begun. Heartworm (Dirofiliaria immitis) is a parasite that is transmitted by mosquitoes to dogs and cats. This parasite matures into a worm that lodges in the large vessels and chambers of the animal's heart.
Your veterinarian can perform a blood test to see if your pet has been infected with heartworm. If this disease is detected early it can often be effectively treated.
Pets can be protected from infection by the administration of preventative medication on a monthly basis. Many of these medications also have the additional benefit of protecting your pet from fleas and intestinal parasites.
Both dogs and cats are susceptible to heartworm but the diagnosis and treatment is less straightforward in cats. Fortunately, veterinary knowledge about the feline form of this disease is evolving rapidly.
As no medication can be guaranteed to be 100% effective your veterinarian will likely recommend heartworm testing your pet on a periodic basis. Testing is the only way to determine if a break in protection has occurred.
For the most current recommendations regarding heartworm testing and prevention please consult with your own veterinarian this spring.

Pediatric cancer patients whose central lines are used to treat them at home develop three times as many dangerous bloodstream infections from their devices than their hospitalized counterparts, according to the results of a new Johns Hopkins Children's Center study.
Findings of the research, reported online July 23 in the journal Pediatric Blood & Cancer, provide valuable insight into the safety of central line uses outside the hospital and underscore the need to carefully evaluate the benefits and risk of sending a child home with one, the investigators say.
Furthermore, the results highlight the importance of better understanding the risks of at-home central line care and designing infection-prevention strategies.
"The health care system as a whole has spent a lot of time and energy studying hospital acquired bloodstream infections and has made serious progress in reducing their burden as a result. It is now time that we did the same for central line infections acquired outside the hospital," says lead investigator Michael Rinke, M.D., Ph.D., a pediatrician and safety expert at Johns Hopkins Children's Center.
"Some children with central lines do well at home and will have no complications, but based on our findings, we feel clinicians should remain vigilant when sending home certain special categories of pediatric cancer patients who face higher infection risk by virtue of their condition, device type or a combination of the two," Rinke adds.
A central line, or a central venous catheter, is a tube placed into a major blood vessel in the neck, chest or groin to serve as a temporary portal for injected medications and fluids. Inserted incorrectly, mishandled or simply handled too frequently, the central line can become a gateway for bacteria into the bloodstream, which can lead to serious complications, including organ damage and even death. Beyond the human toll, each infection can cost up to $45,000 in additional treatment, research has shown.
The study followed 319 children with cancer treated at Johns Hopkins who had central lines and received treatment between 2009 and 2010. Nearly all children were treated in the hospital at some point and sent home thereafter. In hospitalized children, there were 19 bloodstream infections over 8,682 days spent with a central line, compared with 55 such episodes over 84,705 days in the at-home group or nearly three times the number of infections seen in hospitalized children.
"We have a wealth of data on the safety of central lines among hospitalized children and have designed solid protocols to reduce the risk of invasive bloodstream infections among such children, but we don't really have a good understanding of central line safety once the child leaves the hospital," says senior investigator Marlene Miller, M.D., M.Sc., director of Pediatric Quality and Safety at Johns Hopkins Children's Center. "Our study sheds some light on that issue."
Rinke and colleagues say several potent risk factors for infection emerged among children treated at home. Patients with recently placed central lines, those with recent bone marrow transplants and those with past infections were at highest risk, the study found. In addition, children with a type of central line tunneled under the skin that remains open, rather than implanted, in the chest, were found to be at greatest risk for infection. But because this type of central line is handled more frequently, it remains unclear whether the increased risk stems from the frequency of access or from the anatomic positioning of the device itself, the researchers say.
The investigators emphasize that central line care, even in the hospital, requires experienced clinicians and trained family members familiar with infection-prevention protocols a level of care that is not always taught to families before the patient is discharged home.
"Teaching family members the 101 of central line cleaning and care can go a long way toward reducing infection risk and is something that should become part of the formal discharge routine in each and every hospital," Rinke says.
Such instructions, he adds, have been part of the Johns Hopkins Children's Center discharge protocol since 2010.

Julio Chavez feared for his life. That was on the night last year when he landed on the streets of Las Vegas with no place to go. Then 18, he was kicked out by relatives after having arrived in Sin City just three days earlier.
He had left his hometown of New Oxford, Pa., where he lived with his mother because he didn't feel accepted.
"I wanted to get away from the town because it's not as open-minded," Chavez said Thursday, glancing at his glittery red nails. "It really didn't accept me for who I was."
Chavez is among an estimated 15 percent of homeless youth in Clark County who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. That percentage is based on the 300 clients that the Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth in Las Vegas served through its core programs last year, said Arash Ghafoori, executive director at the nonprofit.
They range in age from 15 to 19.
The nonprofit serves children and teens who are homeless because they are fleeing an abusive environment, are neglected or are experiencing issues related to their sexual orientation, among other reasons, said Melissa Jacobowitz, development specialist with the organization.
Nonprofit officials say the number of gay homeless youth in Clark County could be higher.
Nearly 6,000 homeless youth are enrolled in the Clark County School District, according to the Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth.
Nevada is one of five states with the highest number of homeless youth, according to the nonprofit's statistics and the National Center on Family Homelessness.
The Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth has seen an increase in gay homeless youth, Ghafoori said.
That is not unique to the area, but rather a national trend.
About 40 percent of homeless youth nationwide are thought to be gay, bisexual or transgender, according to a 2012 study by the Williams Institute, a national think thank at the University of California, Los Angeles School of Law.
"The majority of them are running away from home or getting kicked out because of their sexual orientation," Jacobowitz said.
Nearly seven in 10 homeless juveniles who fall in that same category have experienced family rejection, the Williams Institute study found.
They are leaving their homes at a younger age because they feel more comfortable coming out of the closet as sexual orientation issues receive more attention nationwide, Jacobowitz said.
"They are coming out younger, so they are getting kicked out younger," she added.
Ghafoori said he follows the issue closely so his agency is better equipped to deal with it.
"This is definitely not a hate zone," he said. "This is a totally safe environment for any youth to access, including LGBT. We don't discriminate."
The nonprofit is working with partners to compile data dealing with gay homeless youth, he said.
It's hard for teens to admit that they are homeless and even harder for them to acknowledge they are gay, Jacobowitz said.
Chavez, who has been homeless for 11 months, said an uncle bought his ticket to Las Vegas. He also was searching for his father, who divorced his mother when he was a young child.
Chavez got in touch with relatives in Las Vegas who sounded like "they accepted" him.
Three days later, his relatives kicked him out of their house.
Chavez found shelter his first day on the street at the McDonald's on Tropicana Avenue and Topaz Street. He got kicked out when the fast-food restaurant closed for the day.
"For me, it was terrifying," he recalled.
The next day, he connected with the Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth.
"It gave me a new perspective in life," Chavez said. "I found a new family. They are like my brothers and cousins."
On top of the challenges that Chavez has faced, he also is undocumented, making it harder for him to find work.
However, he is focusing on what he can accomplish.
On June 15, he will graduate from Beacon Academy, an online high school. He plans to attend the College of Southern Nevada and then transfer to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas to major in social work.
"I feel like the youth are the ones who need help the most," he said.

- - Check out my rig
Check out my rig Hey new to the site so thought Id share my current tank specs with you all. Read some interesting posts so far! Tank Fluval Roma 200 Litre tank Filter Two Tetratec Ex 1200 Filters (2400 LPH) Air Pump Eheim air pump (400 LPH) Power Head Maxijet 600 LPH Lighting Two T8 bulbs (80watts approx) Heating Tetratec 200W Heater Current stocking 1 x Black Moor 1 x Red Cap Oranda 1 x Panda Oranda 1 x Blue Oranda 1 x Tiger Ryukin 10 x X-Ray Tetras 6 x Pearl Scale Danios 5 x Long finned Zebra Danios 1 x Hill Stream Loach 1 x Common Plec 3 x Balas Sharks Water Levels Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 20 40 (tap water depending) All tank mates are very happy swimming around together. Love to watch the shoaling x-ray tetras and all my goldfish have a real personality. Hoping to upgrade to a 660Litre tank when I get a big enough house and possibly another chiclid tank. I have a few videos up on youtube for viewing (too lazy to upload pics right now). Please note I have recently redesigned my tank setup somewhat and taken quite a few of the plants out. Still loving the rock though. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=mi-Uhpyz-qk |
Two things I noticed: You're mixing coldwater and tropical fish. Goldfish need the coldwater, everything else needs warm. Good excuse for that new tank yet? You've got very very messy fish in something around 52 gallons. Usually we recommend around 30 gallons per goldfish since they errr, poo a lot. Plus the bala sharks will get wayyy too big to be comfortable in that tank. Your pleco will get gigantic and also makes a mess. Even better excuse to get a couple new tanks, use the current one for cichlids and make everyone happy. Including yourself when it comes time to vaccum up all that you-know-what. They may be small now, but they sure won't wanna stay that way. |
Flashy's right. Balas will need a 2 metre long tank before you know it. They are also a schooling fish, so if you can house them at all, you ought to get another 3. Goldfish need no less than 80 litres each (and some would tell you 100), and prefer cooler temperatures (18 - 20 C). So with 5 fancy goldfish, you're looking at a 400 to 500 litre tank. Actually, you could keep the Hillstream loach with your goldfish (though it would really benefit from more current than fancy goldfish can handle), and maybe the danios (they can handle 20C) The tetras not so much. They need a temp 24 to 27C. And the Pleco.... That's a half meter of fish before it's done growing. It'll be 20cm in a year. That would do fine in a tank that would house the balas. So, to recap - the tank you have would be fine for the tetras, and that might be a good place to start on a softwater tropical tank. The Goldfish will need a 400 liter or more tank. If you go with one around 500 litres, you could put the danios and the loach in there too. The Balas need a 2 meter tank and to be in a group of six, and the pleco should go in that tank as well. Your mileage may vary, but not by a whole lot. |
re Sounds like crying to me to be honest. The tank is over a year old, in which time I have not had any illness or problems with incompatibility. 1 year seems a bit long just to be luck. I agree the sharks get bigger but they do take quite a while to grow by which time I will have upgraded them to a 150gal tank. As far as the goldies go I think the 100L per fish rule is laughable. Your hardly going to spend 300-500 of the queen's pounds STERLING on a tank to grow 3 old fish at a couple of buckaroonies each. If you bothered to read the specs I am running 2 filters rated at 1200LPH each so thats 2400LPH i.e. 12 times per hour. More than enough to cope with the amount of waste produced by the plec and goldies (tetras etc add next to no waste anyway so are not particularly effecting the bio load). If the filters could not cope with any of the waste, again this would be showing in ammonia/nitrite spikes. One question for you. If you live in a warmer climate (temp around 20+ degrees) and keep goldfish, does this make them tropical if the water is simply WARM?? I think the definition of tropical/coldwater is a little over the top to say the least. My goldies are perfectly happy cruising around at 24 degrees C as are the rest of the tank mates. If they weren't don't you think they'd be complaining and rattling their cage? Just think of me as trying to drive this fish industry forward. Its never cool to stay old skool! |
If you live in a warmer climate and are keeping goldfish, you should be running a chiller (or at least cranking your A/C). And actually, a lot of people spend a great deal of money on appropriate housing for their fish, even if the fish themselves weren't all that expensive. I can get a young Oscar for $1. I don't understand how that places some sort of limit on the amount of money I would have to spend to keep that fish in conditions in which it would thrive. |
I wouldn't say it places a limit on it mate but I think a $1 fish in say a tank costing $400 is a bit of a waste. I'd rather have 5 $1 fish instead, bit more interesting. Some people here seem a bit super sensitive over stocking levels. If you can afford the cash for extra filtration and all tank members are happy then there shouldn't be a problem. |
All pets are a fairly expensive investment. With fish, the investment is in the aquarium and supplies and less often in the fish themselves (though there are some really expensive fish out there). If you have enough filtration to keep ammonia and nitrites at zero and are dedicated enough to water changes to keep your nitrate at an acceptable level, then yes, you have successfully dealt with one negative effect of overcrowding. Unfortunately, you still have to deal with all of the other problems that come with stocking the aquarium with too many big fish: predation on the small fish by the big ones, stress caused by the overcrowding which weakens the immune systems of the fish, growth problems that come from a large fish being physically restricted by cramped quarters, etc. |
*sigh* If you've read posts already you've surely already read what we would have recommended in the first place. Quote:
The dude sounds like an innovator man, who are we to question? 8) |
"large fish being physically restricted by cramped quarters" - looks like plenty of room in there to me. Ever seen a LFS, why don't you go moan at them - there tanks look like a log jam! I'd have enough space to dawn a divers mask and swim in there with them myself for a good time to come yet. Then I'll be upgrading to a bigger tank anyway. "Just because they're cheap doesn't mean they shouldn't be treated how science and practical knowledge has taught us that they thrive best" Then you turn round and I've got a PHD in fishin' showing you the way. Sometimes you gotta speculate to accumulate. Everyone seems to be thriving right now in my tank - maybe I really am an innovator - I am the real deal! |

While everyone is up in arms about David Beckham challenging fans in LA to a fight over the weekend, I choose to focus on the lighter side of the sport. And by that I mean this killer dance-off between some of the younger members of the Chelsea Football Club. Anytime anyone flips off the wall he/she should automatically be the winner.

The smallest aircraft of DLR's Oberpfaffenhofen flight facility is a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan, registration D-FDLR. The single-engine turboprop aircraft is mainly used by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) for remote sensing. It is especially well suited for camera flights, such as those with the HRSC (High Resolution Stereo Camera), operated by DLR and also used in space missions.

The Cessna 208B is especially well-suited for special camera flights, for instance the High-Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC).
The Cessna C208B Grand Caravan (registration D-FDLR) was converted into a 'flying auditorium' at the Oberpfaffenhofen flight facility.
The "TropOLEX" differential lidar system (Tropospheric Ozone Lidar Experiment), developed by the German Aerospace Center, enables large-scale measuring of the vertical and horizontal ozone concentration from on board the Cessna Grand Caravan. The compact system is based on the differential lidar technique (or DIAL for short). This means that two laser pulses with different wavelengths are emitted, and the backscatter signals of both waves are then compared. This method enables measurement of the concentration of atmospheric trace gases such as ozone. TropOLEX is used to perform ozone measurements, but also to investigate the effects of long-distance air traffic on air pollution.
The image shows containers, the so-called meteopods, which have been mounted under the wing. They contain instruments for measuring meteorological data.
The smallest aircraft of DLR's Oberpfaffenhofen flight facility is a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan, registration D-FDLR. The single-engine turboprop aircraft is mainly used by the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) for remote sensing. It is especially well suited for camera flights, such as those with the HRSC (High Resolution Stereo Camera), operated by DLR and also used in space missions.
In 2006, the Cessna 208B was converted into a flying auditorium and equipped with an underwing meteorological measurement system capable of measuring turbulence. Since this conversion, the Cessna has seven individual measuring stations for aerospace students. The "flying auditorium" project does not just enable students to experience different types of flight tests on board the aircraft; it also has a monitor with virtual cockpit instruments at each seat, allowing the students to track a wide variety of flight manoeuvres and measurement data in detail.
Like the Dassault Falcon 20E, the Cessna Grand Caravan plays an important role in the (EUropean Fleet for Airborne Research), an initiative bringing together 28 leading European institutions and companies in the field of airborne research.
The "flying auditorium" system can be used to train:
Extensive modifications and extensions have turned the Cessna 208B into a popular research facility. With its lightweight but robust construction, it is well-suited for a wide variety of research uses involving smaller instrument sets.
The following modifications have been made to the Cessna 208B's aircraft structure and basic features:
Missions - research focus
Practical flight training with the "flying auditorium"
The DLR flight facility in Oberpfaffenhofen offers opportunities for aerospace students and prospective atmospheric scientists to receive practical flight training on board the Cessna 208B. This concept, developed in cooperation with universities and colleges of higher education, allows the students to gain 'live' test flight experience.
The "flying auditorium" replaces earlier forms of practical flight training for flight engineers. The new training concept is designed to provide students participating in the test flight scenarios with all the information on forces and movement data, which a test flight engineer needs in order to assess the flight performance of an aircraft. The Cessna 208B can accommodate a total of ten scientists and students. A measurement system comprising an inertial platform and two computers can store all available data and prepare them online for display. A so-called quicklook computer converts the raw data into physical data as they come in, and then generates a graphic representation. Each passenger has their own display in front of them, showing the current readings of the cockpit instruments. Other ways of representing the data, such as time series and real-time conversion of values (for instance to display airspeed as indicated, calibrated or equivalent), are also available. The manoeuvre for measuring climb performance, for example, can be traced in a graph of altitude over time. Time series can be useful to assess the quality of the manoeuvre. If there are too many disturbances, for instance due to turbulence, the manoeuvre may have to be performed again.
Test cards for several manoeuvres have been compiled in cooperation with universities. It is possible to draw up very detailed protocols for each stage and to record additional data (such as fuel consumption and the resulting change in the aircraft's mass during the flight) with these cards. Manoeuvres such as phugoid flight, the determination of the neutral point and manoeuvre point, the polar curve for gliding flight, or climbing power have all been prepared in this way. Additional weights can be used to vary the centre of gravity of the aircraft from flight to flight. In this way, a larger group of students, which has been divided over multiple flights, obtains a more extensive total pool of data, allowing them to analyse multiple distinct datasets.
The practical training sessions are organised and run by DLR flight facility Oberpfaffenhofen on behalf of universities.
TropOLEX lidar system for two-dimensional measurement of ozone concentration
The "TropOLEX" differential lidar system (Tropospheric Ozone Lidar Experiment; LIDAR: Light Detection And Ranging) developed by the German Aerospace Center, enables large-scale measuring of the vertical and horizontal ozone concentration from onboard the Cessna Grand Caravan. The compact system is based on the differential lidar technique (or DIAL for short). This means that two laser pulses with different wavelengths are emitted, and the backscatter signals of both waves are then compared. This method allows the concentration of atmospheric trace gases such as ozone to be measured
The vertical distribution of ozone in the troposphere is of interest to atmospheric researchers because ozone is one of the most chemically active substances in the atmosphere. It contributes to the greenhouse effect and to the development of photochemical smog, which are harmful to living creatures and plants. The airborne differential lidar technique has proven to be a useful tool for atmospheric research. Some airborne systems have, for instance, been used to study subjects such as air quality, air mass characterisation, biomass combustion and stratosphere-troposphere exchange.
Flying with the meteopod
When using a meteopod, a wider range of applications becomes available for practical flight training as well as for scientific missions. The meteopod is a container that can be mounted under the left wing and contains instruments for measuring meteorological parameters. This allows atmospheric parameters to be measured with less distortion than if they were measured from the fuselage. For example, students in Meteorology can under certain weather conditions - the meteopod can only be used in ice-free conditions - measure the vertical and spatial structure of the atmosphere.

In his presentation at the Kinexions 2011 conference, Kevin O'Marah stated that one of the next challenges for responsively managing global supply chains is knowledge, specifically bringing the power of knowledge to supply chain planners. It seemed to me that this would be an important discussion topic for this community.
How do you currently gain insights and knowledge regarding events that are occuring in the supply chain? If you are not receiving the knowledge that you require, what suggestions do you have for management teams for the best means to foster and deliver the right knowledge?
Is this need reflected in organizational cultural challenges, technology tools, opportunities for broadening skill base, or combinations of all of these?
Let's start a conversation.
Hi Bob. I think there are tremendous implications for social networks to become a huge part of the way supply chain practitioners and managers gather information. www.socialtimes.com reported that the "Use of social networks by the Fortune 500 companies has seen explosive growth in 2010, with 83% of the companies using at least one of the social media sites."
Here's an interesting recent article on the topic from Forbes: Are You Ready for the Social Supply Chain?
I'd love to see some people in the field weigh in on this!

4 Relationship of Auditing Standards To Detection of Fraud George R. Catlett Arthur Andersen & Co. The accounting profession is facing a wide diversity of difficult challenges. One of the current problems facing CPAs in public practice is how to achieve a proper understanding on the part of the public and others of 1) the relationship of auditing standards to the detection of fraud, and 2) the responsibilities of auditors for the detection of fraud. Nature of Fraud Dishonesty and deceit have always been present to some degree not only in the business community but in all walks of life. However, fraud in business enterprises has been increasing in recent years. While most managements and employees are honest, there are enough material cases of dishonesty to cause concern among independent auditors. Fifteen years ago, most accounting firms had only an occasional fraud case, and many of those were not of any great significance. Today, with fraud cases becoming more common, and with investigations by governmental agencies and resulting litigation exploding in all directions, this disturbing trend is becoming a major factor in the operation of accounting firms. Some of the reasons for this situation are interesting, but time limitations do not permit us to discuss that topic. What constitutes fraud is not always clear. In cases of bankruptcies and failures, fraud is sometimes alleged when what really may have occurred was bad management decisions and/or adverse business conditions, with a resulting loss of money by investors and creditors. The tendency to allege "fraud" under these circumstances frequently seems to be irresistible. In any event, what is referred to as "fraud" in some cases may not actually be "fraud." Legal liability of independent auditors for alleged negligence and other deficiencies in their work has many ramifications. Mr. A. A. Sommer, Jr., now a Commissioner of the SEC, discussed this area at the Symposium here in 1972. The number of court cases involving the question of whether and under what circumstances an auditor may have legal liability is still somewhat limited; but more such cases will probably go to trial in the next few years, and the guidelines may become clearer than they are at the present time. Many different kinds and magnitudes of fraud exist, with some not affecting the financial statements at all or only in a minor way, while others have a 47

MAN optimizes vehicle delivery with ORion-PI® of Axxom
Press release from: Axxom Software AG
MAN Nutzfahrzeuge optimizes the delivery of its vehicles with the solution ORion-PI® of Axxom Software AG. (Picture: MAN Group)
Every year, several ten thousand commercial vehicles leave the European production sites of MAN Nutzfahrzeuge in Munich, Salzgitter, Steyr, Vienna, Krakow and Posen. The busses and trucks are delivered to dealers, sales offices or body manufacturers either self-deployed or by vehicle transporter. Therefore, logistics costs for delivery are mostly determined by transport costs.
To increase the transparency in vehicle delivery and to identify optimization potential, Axxom will model the European distribution network for trucks, bus chassis and bus platforms with its solution ORion-PI® Value Network Optimization in a first step. The model will contain transport relations, volume flows and freight rate logics in Europe and parts of the CIS countries.
In a second step, the actual network will be compared to alternative distribution scenarios. For instance, can MAN Nutzfahrzeuge gain cost advantages by implementing a hub at the border between Spain and France for the delivery of Portugal, Spain and South-France? Is it in generally worthwhile to switch to a hub and spoke system? And how many of such hubs are reasonable and where should they be located?
By modelling its network with ORion-PI®, MAN gains a better overview of the transport flows of its vehicles. Furthermore, analyzing different scenarios shall help the company to analyze improvement possibilities and to optimize the design of their delivery network.
Axxom Software AG is an international provider of software solutions and services for the comprehensive optimization of value-add processes. With its software ORion-PI® the technology company offers a solution for the design, simulation, planning and optimization of all business processes and systems in all fields of logistics, distribution and production. ORion-PI® is in use on five continents in more than 35 countries. Axxom Software AG was founded in April 2001. Since 2004 Axxom has a development center in Timisoara / Romania.

Noted adventurer Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) goes out on a routine exploratory spelunking mission, only to find the unexpected: Han Solo (Harrison Ford) frozen in carbonite! Fearing it to be a homicide, Jones calls the police, who immediately send two of their best officers to the scene: Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) and Sgt. Joe Gavilan (Harrison Ford).
All the clues point to none other than Dr. Richard Kimble (Harrison Ford), who is already on the run from the law. The only problem? He's no where to found... on land! No, sneaky Dr. Kimble has escaped with Captain Alexei Vostrikov (Harrison Ford) in his nuclear submarine!
In the end, though, the officers are able to locate the criminals and bring them to justice, thanks, in part, to some help from research scientist Norman Spencer (Harrison Ford), attorney Henry Turner (Harrison Ford), and CIA analyst Jack Ryan (Harrison Ford). For their heroic efforts, they are all thanked personally by President James Marshall (Harrison Ford).
But does hard-headed Rick Deckard care about the commander-in-chief? No way! He'd rather sneak out of the luncheon being held in his honor and go home to his small, untidy apartment, where he can finally sit down on his couch (Harrison Ford), kick his feet up on the coffee table (Harrison Ford), and crack open a cold beer (Harrison Ford) to relax after a hard day's work (Harrison Ford [uncredited])!

Thousands of members of the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers (PFT), other local labor union members, parents, students, community groups and elected leaders are taking to the streets today to fight back against actions taken by Gov. Tom Corbett and Mayor Nutter's cronies to further dismantle and defund the Philadelphia public school system. In a shocking example of what happens when anti-worker politicians get elected, the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers lost their contract last week through a unilateral decision by Gov.

Lions Look Impressive – But Hey, It's Only Pre-Season
Posted By Bob Ballard On Aug 15 2011 @ 4:14 pm In Detroit Lions | 2 Comments
Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford played just over 5 minutes in the Lions' first preseason game. During that span, Stafford threw for 2 TDs including a 26 yard TD pass to WR Calvin Johnson as the Lions rolled over the young Cincinnati Bengals 34-3. Stafford's line – 6 for 7, 71 yards, 2 TDs, 0 Int .
Now it's hard not to get excited as Stafford was dead on as his only incompletion went right through the hands of RB Jahvid Best. The defense was solid as well, but the Bengals have there own issues on offense especially at QB with no Carson Palmer. Bengals rookie QB Andy Dalton made his NFL debut by throwing an interception on his first attempted pass. Dalton was harassed throughout the game and even was body slammed by Lions DT All-Pro Ndamukong Suh – Suh was accessed with a 15 yard roughing the passer penalty.
But come on, the Lions need to do more than just win a meaningless preseason game against Cincinnati. Stafford and Calvin only played 5 minutes. They both need to stay healthy throughout the regular season for the Lions to become a playoff caliber team. The Lions also need to solidify the secondary and find depth at RB especially with the injury to Mikel LeShoure. The Lions rushing stat line - an embarrassing 70 yards on 33 carries – a 2.1 yards per carry against Cincy. Sure, Friday's game was a nice win as it validates that the team is going in the right direction. But fans have recently been down this road before in 2008 as the Lions went undefeated in the preseason (4-0). Of course, the Lions flipped that record during the regular season as they went 0-16. Only time will tell.
