Today's most impactful IT leaders often wear their non-tech backgrounds and interests like a badge of honor. For evidence, look no further than the following list of the 10 highest-paid CIOs at publicly traded companies, as taken from a top 20 ranking recently published by Janco Associates. Certainly, these executives represent a new breed of CIOs, that of well-rounded tech leaders. A number of them started out somewhere other than the IT department, and all of them speak to the need for CIOs to support their organization's total strategic vision, especially when it comes to driving ROI-benefiting innovation. Indeed, the rankings demonstrate how much the CIO's role is evolving as a business-focused one instead of being "strictly tech." They also speak to a general state of change within the highest of tech-leadership ranks: Some of included executives are now performing other roles and/or have had their roles expanded. Of the top 20 CIOs on Janco's list, only eight were on the list last year, and another eight are either new to the job or have since left the company. The list was compiled from SEC filings that reflect earnings in 2012. For more about the list, click here.

REVEALED! The teams who'll be relegated from the Premier League
Get the accumulators on…
If you're getting a bit impatient for the sure-to-be-thrilling final day of Premier League football this Sunday then fear not! The Spoiler has handily provided this final league table a full two days early.
We've conducted an in-depth (for The Spoiler) bit of research and have produced the above table that shows how the bottom of the Premier League will DEFINITELY look after Sunday's games.
Here's the science part…
The only game in which the teams know a win is guaranteed to keep them up is the clash between Wolves and Blackburn. Mick McCarthy's side have been in decent form over recent weeks and have lost just one of their previous six at Molineux.
With Rovers having the third worst away record in the Premier League, it's hard to see them getting anything at Wolves.
The Spoiler's prediction: Wolves 2-0 Blackburn
Right, Blackpool head to Old Trafford to play a Man Utd side that – as Sir Fergie confirmed earlier – will feature Patrice Evra, Paul Scholes, Anderson and Dimitar Berbatov. United have dropped just two points at home this term and have only conceded two goals at home on a final day in the Premier League era.
(BONUS QUESTION! – Name the only two players to score at OT on the final day of a Premier League season… Answers below, please)
Despite Blackpool having the sixth best away record in the league they should still lose.
The Spoiler's prediction: Man Utd 3-1 Blackpool
Okay, Birmingham are at Spurs. Harry Redknapp's side haven't won a single game against the current bottom four and drew with the Blues in December. HOWEVER! Alex McLeish's side haven't beaten a team above them in the league away from home all season.
The Spoiler's prediction: Spurs 1-1 Birmingham
Finally, Wigan head to Stoke in their must-win clash. Stoke will be a bit down in the dumps after their FA Cup final defeat to Man City and will probably still be drunk/waiting to go on holiday.
Stoke though, have lost just one game to a bottom-half side at the Birtannia all season and have never lost to Wigan in the Premier League.
The Spoiler's prediction: Stoke 2-2 Wigan
So, once again, here's the final table (West Ham will draw at home to Sunderland in the most boring game in history)…
So, whaddya think? Are we massively wrong? Or should The Spoiler get a 10% cut of all winning bets? Let us know what you think with a comment below. Oh, and don't forget the bonus question…

At around 9:15 a.m. Tuesday police received a complaint from two 27-year-old men that Michael Haworth, 25, threatened them with a kitchen knife around 3 a.m. that morning.
Officers found Haworth at the Country Inn, put him under arrest and charged him with terroristic threats and use of a deadly weapon to commit a felony.
Bond is set at $50,000.
Meth and children
A woman is in jail for smoking meth in a room with her children, while police continue to look for the man who was with her.
On Oct. 2, police received a complaint that the man and woman were smoking methamphetamine in the presence of two children, ages 1 and 2.
Police went to check on the childrens welfare to the Lazy K Motel, 3605 Rodeo Rd., and found Jeremy Zona, 33, and Dusty Swanson, 23.
They found evidence of drug use. Subsequently, hair follicles of the children were tested that turned out to be positive for meth/amphetamines on two of three children, police spokesman Rodney Brown said.
On the morning of Oct. 12, an officer found Swanson and charged her with felony child abuse, plus possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.
Police caught up with Zona on Wednesday. Brown said he was found in a home outside the city limits and arrested without incident.
Swansons bond is set at $10,000. As of Thursday afternoon, Zona's bond had not been set.
Drunken woman
A weekend morning traffic stop on U.S. Highway 6 about seven miles west of Palisade led to the arrest of a Chase County woman for her 5th offense of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Just before 11 a.m. on Oct. 12, a NSP dispatch center in North Platte received a call from a concerned motorist that a white Jeep SUV was all over the roadway.
NSP spokeswoman Deb Collins said a short time later a trooper saw a vehicle matching the description driving erratically, eastbound on U.S. 6. The trooper pulled the car over. Approaching the vehicle, he smelled the strong odor of alcohol, Collins said.
Marci A. Burgess, 46, of Wauneta, failed a field sobriety test and a preliminary breath test. Burgess was lodged in the Chase County Jail on a charge of 5th offense DUI, a felony, Collins said.

Hear now the words of Rabbi Yeshua Ben Yosef:
Use well your talents for some good purpose. The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand, and if you use your talents well:
the LORD will say unto you: "Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy LORD."
In honor of the Parable of the Talents, for the 24 hours starting at noon PST November 11, 2012, the DeLong-Marciarille household will match all donations made online to Grandmothers Raising Grandchildren at:
Grandmothers Raising Grandchildren is 48 Luo grandmothers and great-grandmothers raising 150 AIDS-orphaned grandchildren and great-grandchildren in Ahero, in western Kenya, funded through this one-woman zero-overhead NGO who is our neighbor Bee Sjostrum, who spent two years in Ahero as the oldest Peace Corps volunteer in East Africa.
Yes, we are giving of our surplus only.
But just because you don't want to give of your substance is no reason to be a #%^%€>¥ and not to give at all:
Matthew 25:14-30
For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. And unto one he gave five talents [1], to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying: "Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more."
His lord said unto him: "Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord."
He also that had received two talents came and said: "Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them."
His lord said unto him: "Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord."
Then he which had received the one talent came and said: "Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed. And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine."
His lord answered and said unto him: "Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed. Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
"For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
It's your choice:
Buy a basket and so send a little money at zero overhead to AIDS orphans in Kenya, and know that your contribution has done double work at the margin; or…
Get cast into the outer darkness, where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, and—even worse—where you shall have the company of all the other unprofitable servants…

Brad |
this is one of my long time favorites, would love to have this rendered for triple screen 1080 |
Safire |
The feeling is dark and foreboding. The shadows are heavy contributing to the subtle sense that the veiwer is intruding or not particularly welcome here. Almost as if one is standing on the ridge looking down into enemy territory or a place they'd simply rather not be. The feeling of being an outsider is heightened by the earth hanging lonely and distant in the background. As if home and all the feelings that go with it are beyond the viewers reach. The work creates such a sense of isolation that it is undeniably true art. My compliments. Thanks Safire |
Brent |
I like it with the orange glow better. It makes the station "POP" as they say. Makes it more alive, like it's believably inhabited. :-) |
xenocidic |
reminds me of that =) |
Mark |
Would love to have this one on dual screen! Just gives it a neat perspective! |
Zane |
Hi Ryan, If you have any spare time can you do a dual screen of the original outpost? I like the first version the most. Almost a cartoon style image. Love the site. Been fun watching your artwork evolve over the many years. Keep it up. Zane |
Eyal Hamtsany |
A bit too dark... Can it be made brighter? |
The Six Million Dollar Man |
Is it possible to change the png image to the orange version as well please? Thank-you |
fatboy |
Not sure if I like this version. Some of the orange lighting looks like it is hanging in mid-air. If it is attached to something I don't see it. I can still see windows and lighting below the orange lighting. It's like they are not attached to anything. I'm using the second version for my main background on my desktop. Other than that I like this. The moon surface is fantastic and having the earth in the background is really nice. |
Sean W. |
The changes bring "Outpost" close to perfection! This is an awesome new version, and it makes much more sense to the eyes. Love the crater idea, very cool! This gets a 10, and I'm putting it on my desktop now! Again, well done Ryan! |
Jason |
I like the moon surface in the new image, and I love the orange glow. However, I prefer the perspective in the original image. It just seems more lively and interesting somehow. |
Steve C |
Much better than the first version. The crater gives better perspective as to the size of the station. |
Mirage_X15 |
I don't know, in someone's it looks better without the orange, in other ways it looks better with. Either way works for me. Oh, and in response to Lanithion ("Love it, except..."). If I'm not mistaken, those aren't 'stars through Earth' -- they're lights from the cities on the night side (that is, if we're both looking at the same spot). |
Rob |
Your thumbnail at the top of the members page still links to ver. 2 of Outpost, while ver. 3 is in the gallery. I just thought that was a little odd. |

Nicola |
Although the image is very good either way, I rather like the orange neon - it defines the shape more and draws my eye to things I hadn't noticed before. |
sirabbadon |
Orange it up. |
Mike Barber |
Better With the Orange Neon |
fatboy |
Much better moon surface then the first image. I do think this is a very dark image, but it is the moon. This is nice addition for the SciFi lovers. |
Louise |
I like the one seen from ground level with the orange the best. The ground level ones look more "real" to me, and the orange glow lightens it up and brings out more of the details. I've tried all 3 as wallpaper and that one works best for me. |
WACoddington |
The glow definitely helps the image in my opinion. The details of the radial "Transportation Tubes?" get lost with out the glow. It also adds to the future feeling of the image. 2cents. |
TomasM |
It's simple: The deep, dark mood of the new image is perfect. No orange glow needed. T |
Pat |
Although I thought I would like the orange version better, it was immediately clear to me that this feature is better left out. Although I like it on the spire, having the glow on the tubes is extremely distracting and takes away from the depth perception of the overall background. So, in summary, I like the first one better -- (maybe you could keep the glow on the spire?) Anyway, I'm glad you're hard at work again and giving the members what they are asking for. Thanks, Pat |
Richard |
I think that the new outpost image without the orange "neon" glow is much better. Please stick with that one on the gallery! I continue to absolutely love the site, and change my background to your latest one as soon as a new one arrives! |
Blaise |
I prefer it with the orange glow, it brightens it up ever so slightly and gives it a little more range in color. |
Lanithion |
Okay, I've been looking at this site for the last three years, and love Ryan's art. Absolutely love it. This is one of my favorites he's done, except I have one little tiny nitpick... In the updated version of Outpost, you can see the stars through Earth. I'm an astrophysics major, and little tiny things like that tend to pick at me. But other than that I love it, with or without the orange glow. |
RobO |
I prefer the second version (Outpost2). But the third is also good. The orange lights look out place, but I cant say exactly why. |
Joss |
Hey, I like this, but with the orange neons, it just defines it a little more. Makes the shape not so dark and a little easier to see. I love the Earth, I think that look really cool. |
Gord |
I like it with the orange best.... it's not about realism, it's about the pretty! |
EricS |
I prefer the orange-glow version, to me it hints at a kinda of energy transmission lines/safety lines and hits of 'realness' Suppose that's a good an explanation as any. -Eric |
Adam |
I think the orange glow added a nice bit of contrast. I also prefered the original image / angle to the two revisions. To me, it seems the brightness of the bottom of the image takes away from the outpost itself, almost "hiding it" to a degree, whereas in the original it clearly stood out (in a good way in my opinion). |
Braden |
I like the neon version slightly more... and I'd like a bit more "sun" even more, as I still can't really make out the buildings (and this is on a nice Dell 2405FPW at home now). |
I prefer it without as well, but thanks for making it and satisfying my curiosity as to what it would look like. I'm not sure why ("realistically") you would put orange neons on a moon base - they would be pretty superfluous. Also, it feels more lonely and remote without the orange, all nestled in the shadows of the crater. It's growing on me every time I see it :) |
James |
I really like the new revisions - the perspective (using the word scale doesn't seem right for what we're talking about here) feels more correct here... Regarding the orange glow, I'm putting in a vote for without - imagination is a good thing IMO. Addendum; great work Ryan - thanks for your tireless effort, and your openness to criticism is inspirational :D |
Saranna |
I think I like the versions with orange better. Both the original angle and new angle are nice, but I prefer it with the orange. |
Simon |
I prefer it with the glow, myself. I kinda felt that the original version (with the outpost tilted at an angle) seemed more dramatic, but I can understand if it appeared more unrealistic due to scale. |
Topher |
I vote for the neon. :) |
mr.wizard |
i like it better without the orange glow |
Mikkel |
I like outpost 3 very much. The orange makes it look a little more alive than version 2. I'm not so crazy about version 1 though, as I agree with the other comments about the size ratio. Keep up the good work :-) Mikkel |
Overdrive |
Sharp contrasts and good proportions makes this one a fine piece of realistic sf-art (again). Though far more realistic, I miss the brighter colours of the original. Somehow I feel the picture is not 'ready' yet; something's missing, but I'm not quit sure what it is. Should the dark shadows surrounding the buildings not be a little bit floodit by those many lights? But maybe the distance to this Outpost is too great to see this. Picture looks actually better full screen than on thumbnail. 7 or 8? Well, because I prefer dark backgrounds: 8* |
David |
This one is MUCH better. I hadn't thought it worth while to download the previous version. |
Dunk |
This one is far superior to the original. |
Marco |
I like the position of the base much better now, before it was like the outpost was watching the Earth, but in this perspective it feels like everyone on Earth is watching the outpost, hopeful for it. I still don't think the Earth has enough light on the dark side from cities, unless the landmasses featured are not the Americas in which case I wouldn't know. Other people have mentioned the lights behind the base in the rock, and I too am curious to know what they are. |
RobO |
Much better than the first version. This one really conveys the huge base on the moon. I wonder if those dots on the rock wall behind the base are windows? |
NikB |
I was a big fan of the original, but I think this is a great improvement. Much better composition, lighting and mood. |
Mark |
Ryan, They're both *WONDERFUL*. I love both renders - but for different reasons. Please make 2x and 3x renders for both versions... they will both see time on my desktop. =) Mark |
hbean |
Much nicer than the original. The base on the original was entirely to large, so large in fact that the mass of the structure would have caused significant changes to orbit of the moon. |
EricG |
The tiny vehicles on the far right (2560x1600 image) give a nice sense of scale! Thanks for adding the human element! Also, the placement of the Outpost looks like the surface was altered for the construction of the base. Nice touch! |
Dave |
The last one was about 14.5km in size, this is much more realistic :P |
travis |
Ryan, I like that you rework some of your images. However, I must say the colors and the ethereal 'hanging' feeling of the planet in the original image was much better. The newer station, while intriguing, lacks the lustrous colors and stark contrasts of the gold against black and the cool blues involved. Keep up the great work. Can't wait to see what you cook up next! |
Simon |
The previous render was a little strange... This one is much better in so many ways. Can't wait for the multi-screen version. :P |
Liz |
Great reworking. I like the new angle a lot better. (It no longer reminds me of the Super Bowl debacle with Janet Jackson's um... yeah.) I love the colors of the earth - so beautiful! Liz |
Doug |
This really fixes the problems with the last one. Including putting much of the ground immediately around the base in shadow, allowing the imagination to expect all kinds of subtle structures, without requiring you to take the months of design time to create them. The lights in the side of the crater wall are also a great touch, that adds to the realism. |
Now it looks like a structure on the moon, rather than something ridiculously huge splatted on it :P Far more interesting composition as well, thanks :) |
Eric |
The lights' shimmering makes the buildings look like carrousels in my eyes. Funny when thinking about the lack of atmosphere on the moon. But it was inspired while sitting with your son - so it makes complete sense. In the first render the station seemed a little bit too big in contrast to the ground. The size in the 2nd render is definitely better - it matches with the surrounding. I like the idea placing the station in the hollow that gives it some shelter... |
Braden |
Can't really make out any details at all on the outpost other than the lights. If this is intentional, well, then I don't like the image. :) Putting the main light a bit more "overhead" would be neat, so you can make out the details of the base a bit better. |
Ian |
Hey Ryan, Beautiful work yet again! The first render was good, but this one really blows it away. The detail on the surface is just incredible (looks like our moon, but could be another little mass floating around in space) and the lighting is superb. I love your work; please keep it up! |
DaveL |
I like this second render much better than the first one. Great job yet again Ryan! |
Dan Pierson |
That's a lot better. Still not a favorite though. |
celmo |
love it more but still lacks punch. Miss the orange lights |
celmo |
Thanks for the revision |

Bart the Bear (1977-2000) was a male Alaskan Kodiak Bear who appeared in several Hollywood films.
In 1988, he appeared in L'Ours, for which the Jim Henson Creature Shop provided animatronics. His other film credits include Legends of the Fall, White Fang (with Ethan Hawke), The Edge (with Alec Baldwin), The Great Outdoors (with John Candy), The Clan of the Cave Bear (with Daryl Hannah), and Walking Thunder (with John Denver).
Bart should not be confused with a younger bear of the same name, who has appeared in Dr. Dolittle 2. The younger bear was named after the elder.

Ducks excited for Smith-Pelly
Although rookie Devante Smith-Pelly had scored two goals in the previous two games and was looking more comfortable with each minute, the Ducks had no misgivings in releasing him to the Canadian national team that will play in the World Junior Championships.
"That's such an honor," Bobby Ryan said, "especially since the tournament is in Canada. It's a pretty chippy competition, too, which really blends in well with what he does.
"I'm excited for him. It's a dream come true for him and I think he'll have a great time with it."
General manager Bob Murray echoed those sentiments. "The Hockey Canada people have been asking about him for a long time," Murray said.
"Any time you win a competition like that it makes you hungrier to keep winning," coach Bruce Boudreau said. "It's a very big deal in Canada, and I think he will come back a better player."
To replace Smith-Pelly and Saku Koivu, who is out with a lower-body injury, the Ducks recalled Brandon McMillan and Kyle Palmieri from Syracuse.
Lubomir Visnovsky, out with a broken finger since Nov. 11, is on the verge of returning. Boudreau said the defenseman could return "within a week to 10 days." That means Visnovsky could be practicing with the Ducks by the middle of next week.

WASHINGTON - A Mediterranean diet, even drenched in olive oil and studded with nuts, beats a low-fat diet hands-down in preventing strokes and heart attacks in healthy older people at high risk of cardiovascular disease, according to research released Monday.
The latest smack-down in the diet wars appears to deal a knock-out blow to the notion that high-fat olive oil and tree nuts - walnuts, almonds and hazelnuts - are a no-no for those wishing to improve their health.
On the contrary, Spanish researchers concluded that the consumption of extra-virgin olive oil and nuts "were probably responsible for most of the observed benefits" attained by those in the two study groups on a Mediterranean diet.
The findings, released by the New England Journal of Medicine, also add to mounting evidence contradicting a long-held tenet of dieting to improve health: that all calories are equal.
A Mediterranean diet is rich in fatty fish, fruits, vegetables and fatty acids, and almost entirely without red meat.
Although many studies have suggested its benefits, the current trial is the first to meet the "gold standard" of biomedical research, with large numbers of people randomly assigned to distinct groups and followed for several years.
The superiority of the Mediterranean diet was substantial: Compared with a group of 2,450 people who were urged to follow a low-fat diet, the 4,997 on a Mediterranean diet supplemented either with nuts (2,454 people) or extra-virgin olive oil (2,543 people) were 30 percent less likely to suffer either a heart attack, stroke or death attributed to cardiovascular disease.
Mediterranean dieters were almost 40 percent less likely than low-fat dieters to have a stroke during the follow-up period, which lasted nearly five years. The superiority of the Mediterranean diet was consistent across virtually all subgroups. Only among a small group of people without hypertension did a low-fat diet show better results.
Male participants ranged in age from 55 to 80, women from 60 to 80. All of them either had Type 2 diabetes or satisfied at least three of the following criteria: They were active smokers, were overweight or obese, had a family history of premature heart disease or had hypertension or worrisome cholesterol readings.
The findings "blow the low-fat diet myth out of the water," said Cleveland Clinic cardiologist Steven Nissen, who was not involved in the research.
Nissen, an expert on the effects of drugs and nutrition on cardiovascular risk, called the study "spectacular" and touted the findings as impressive.

Yesterday (today if you're in the US), Sun released the latest version of its virtualisation solution, VirtualBox 3.1. Among speed improvements and other smaller features, the biggest news is that Virtualox 3.1 introduces something called teleportation: you can move running VMs between machines - servers or clients, different architectures, different host operating systems, it doesn't matter to VirtualBox. Coincidentally, this reminded me of an idea I once had about moving running applications between machines.

"It's fun seeing it "in the real world"!
Yes-- It's very nice right-clicking a node in my ESX cluster, selecting "Enter Maintenance Mode", and watching all my running VM's move to other nodes. Watching them move around in response to load is also nice.
Xen has also had this functionality for awhile, so I'm glad to see VirtualBox catching up.
I'm curious to see how "cross platform" it is-- Under VMWare ESX, it's annoying enough to move between two similar CPU's with slightly different feature sets. If the running VM can't tell that it's 64-bit CPU just changed to a 32-bit CPU, then I would think that the VM isn't capable of exploiting very much of the higher-end CPU's. "
This is where the "virtual CPU" comes into play. Not sure how it works in Xen/VMWare, but with KVM, you can select which type of CPU to expose to the guest.
For best compatibility, you can use a "qemu" CPU type, which is a lowest-common featureset CPU (everything that Intel and AMD support). Or you can be more specific on the CPU features to expose. Or you can just pass through the full CPU set of the host.
Thus, if you have all AMD CPUs in the VM farm, you can pass through the host CPU.
If you have AMD and Intel CPUs, you can use the qemu CPU for VM portability.
Moving a 32-bit guest from a 32-bit host to a 64-bit host would work. But going in reverse (64-bit guest to a 32-bit host) wouldn't.

Jamie Ahloy Dallaire
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Comparative Medicine
Bio Dr. Jamie Ahloy Dallaire received his B.Sc. in Biology from McGill University (2004-2007), in Montréal, Québec, then went on to study fundamental and applied ethology with Dr. Georgia Mason at the University of Guelph, in Ontario. There, his M.Sc. work (2008-2011) pertained to abnormal repetitive behaviors, environmental enrichment, and animal welfare in American mink and in Asiatic black bears. In his doctoral research (2011-2015), Dr. Ahloy Dallaire studied the developmental effects and evolutionary functions of play in mink and in lambs. Since 2015, he has been working on automated behavioral assessment of pain in laboratory mice, with Dr. Joseph Garner in the Department of Comparative Medicine at Stanford University. He frequently collaborates with animal researchers and clinical scientists on aspects of experimental design and statistical analysis, to help them conduct powerful and informative experiments.
In terms of fundamental ethology, Dr. Ahloy Dallaire's research interests include animal communication as well as animal play. In particular, he is fascinated by the long-standing question of why a behavior so seemingly frivolous as play was selected and maintained by evolution. His research on mink suggests that, at least for this species, rough-and-tumble play in young animals may serve as crucial preparation for adult sexual behavior. In terms of applied ethology, Dr. Ahloy Dallaire's current work aims to decrease the negative impacts of biomedical research on laboratory animal welfare, and to deliver better outcomes for human patients through improved research. He believes that good welfare makes for good science, and that these two goals can be achieved in conjunction through a focus on the 3Rs (hhttp://nc3rs.org.uk/the-3rs).
Dr. Ahloy Dallaire's work has been recognized with awards from organizations including the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, the Universities Federation for Animal Welfare, and the Ontario Graduate Scholarship. He has presented his work at international meetings of the Animal Behavior Society, the International Ethological Congress, the Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour, and the International Society for Applied Ethology. His research has been published in journals such as Animal Behaviour, PLoS One, BMC Medical Research Methodology, Behavioural Brain Research, and Applied Animal Behaviour Science.

Choosing your estate agent
Choosing the right estate agent is crucial and there are lots of us around Over 20,000 on this site. Making sure you are with the right one could be the difference between selling or letting your home quickly for the right price or hanging around for months.
Local team
First and foremost our team know the local area and the market. They know what helps to sell or let a property, what buyers and tenants are looking for, the local schools, the transport links and whats about to happen in the area. This detail is vital and you need to know your agent is knowledgeable before any marketing begins.
Keeping you up to date
You can have the best marketing in the world but if we dont tell you whats happening, whats the point? Well keep you up-to-date on who has been looking at your property, viewing feedback and, of course, once youve accepted an offer well progress a sale and make sure you know whats happening at all times.
Weve researched* what works when marketing your home to prospective buyers and tenants. The two best methods by far are a) picking up the phone and calling buyers and tenants when you instruct us and b) advertising your home on the Internet. Of course, for sale boards, property details, newspaper advertising and a network of offices all help too.
We have all of them and we really focus our attention on what works best for our customers.
Getting a head start
The housing market is extremely competitive and any advantage you can take could be vital in helping you secure your dream home. Here, we can help you find out what you can afford to buy and then put your finances in place so when you have an offer accepted youll be ready to proceed straight away. When you ask us to sell or find you a home make sure you ask about our Head Start Service.
Your protection

Were very confident that we know what works when it comes to buying, selling, renting or letting a property. For your free market appraisal please contact me personally on 01253 886000

Does the job
Does the job! Its not anything fancy, it isn't flimsy or anything but its what you would expect from a sharpener. Doesn't damage the product I use in it which is the main thing! A bit overpriced though for what it is.

Cute Mini Tool!
Honestly, I never expect this sharpener came out as such small size:) Anyway, I still love it as the whole package because it is super easy to keep it in my small pouch in my handbag and the color is so SEPHORA too! Which I love it a lot:)

Smooth Sharpening Power
Great sharpener, easy to use. Keep my eyeliners pointy and useful. I had to figure out how to open it though. I also haven't gone to the trouble of cleaning it out. It works and it is useful. Affordable too!

This is a groovy and convenient little sharpener. It's small and compact making it easy to carry around in your makeup bag. The colours are trendy and appealing. Leave a nice pointed tip on eyeliner and lip pencils.

Little in size, mighty in use
This product came all very tightly packaged, and is one great product. It is a little confusing when you are trying to open the sharpened, however, with practice, or a lot of use, you do actually get used to it.

Sephora Sharpener
This one is pretty small so you can bring it anywhere (if you like bringing pencil sharpeners with you). I like that there's a cover for the hole where you put the pencil in. Other than that, pretty average sharpener.
Was this review helpful?
Decent sharpener
This sharpener works as it should, but is pricey at $6. The lid is made of plastic and is incredibly tough to take out, I have to keep fumbling to use my nails and get it out. Not my favourite item, probably will not repurchase.

It was the scandal of the Thursday news cycle: Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar stormed off the set of 'The View' after guest Bill O'Reilly claimed that people were opposed to the new Mosque in lower Manhattan "because the Muslims killed us on 9/11!"
The clip of the incendiary moment went viral. Every entertainment site, as well as shows like 'The Insider' covered it. As it has so many times before, 'The View' penetrated the awareness of people who rarely watch daytime television, making itself part of the part of the national conversation and enhancing the show's reputation as an exciting, controversial program.
I would bet money that, while everyone involved was expressing their sincere opinions, the show's producers did everything that they could to egg them on and create a must-see moment. I suspect that almost everyone in America can name all of 'The View's' cohosts, even if they have never seen a complete episode of the show. When was the last time anything that happened on a daytime soap similarly permeated the public consciousness?
O'Reilly's View On Muslims Makes Cohosts Storm Off Set
The gay media has embraced daytime's gay characters, with sites like AfterElton documenting every twist and turn in Nuke and Kish's storylines — not that there are any current gay or lesbian romances in daytime. But they attracted little notice outside the bubble of gay fanboys and fangirls. I think the last time soap storylines really became a part of the larger popular culture was in the 1990s when Sheila switched from 'The Young & The Restless' to 'The Bold & The Beautiful,' Marlena was possessed by the devil on 'Days of Our Lives' and Luke and Laura returned to 'General Hospital.'
It is no wonder that 'The View' regularly outperforms soap operas among key demographics or that CBS is attempting to emulate it with its new series 'The Talk,' which premieres in 'As The World Turns' old timeslot next Monday.
Watch O'Reilly's Debate With The Ladies Of 'The View':
Instead of lamenting the changing of the television guard, soaps need to find a way to make as much of an impact. The networks are trying.
'General Hospital' hiring James Franco for a longterm arc along with all the other daytime stuntcasting in recent months created hype in advance of their appearances. Unfortunately, there has been little notable about the actual shows. Franco's scenes played like parodies of soap operas.
The moments that are must see television for people who watch every day — 'The Young & The Restless's' Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) falling off the wagon, 'General Hospital's' Robin (Kimberly McCullough) telling off Patrick (Jason Thompson) for cheating on her– make no sense out of context.
Viral clips are an increasingly important way to generate television viewership — and all that matters is the content of the clip. Funny local news stories can generate millions of hits.
'The Amazing Race' premiered to high ratings this season because of a video of a contestant getting hit in the face with a watermelon.
Video: 'Amazing Race' Contestant Gallaghers Herself With Watermelon To The Face
Cable dramas like 'True Blood' generated the same sort of attention with must see scenes like King Russell's (Denis O'Hare) epic rant when he took over a television studio.
Soap operas need to come up with moments that are so exciting, jaw dropping, hilarious or perplexing that everyone will want to see them and a few people will be inspired to watch the actual show themselves.
I realize that this is a difficult task. Most network primetime dramas do not have individual scenes that play well out of context. But these are desperate times, and I believe that soap writers and producers are up to the task. As loathe as I am to praise his sensationalistic writing, if YouTube had existed during James Reilly's first stint as 'Days of Our Lives' headwriter, Marlena levitating above the bed would have been an online sensation.
I think daytime writers need to aim to be bigger drama queens than Bill O'Reilly and Whoopi Goldberg.
Who Do Late Night Writers Love ABC Daytime So Much?
Tuesday night David Letterman proclaimed 'General Hospital's' Patrick one of Obama's biggest enemies as part of his nightly Top Ten List. Both Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart have referenced GH and 'One Life To Live' on their shows.
Watch: Letterman's Top Ten Entries On Barack Obama's Enemies List
Clearly there is one group of people who are still watching soaps on a regular basis: late night talk show writers.
They are actually doing a better job of generating the sort of mainstream buzz that I was just ranting about than soaps themselves.
It is a curious phenomenon. Late night writers are far from typical soap viewers. They are almost all white males under the age of fifty. Other than having jobs that require watching a lot of television, there is no reason why they should be expected to have any awareness of soap operas.
Perhaps soaps are a nice break from the cable news channels that are the source of so much of the shows' material. Maybe they have fond memories of watching soaps during college, and occasionally check them out during lunch.
Since the hosts are never going to invite soap stars on as guests because they are too low profile, I propose that the networks go guerilla and send some of the most outspoken soap stars to Washington D.C. on October 30th for Stewart and Colbert's dueling Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear, which will be covered live on Comedy Central. I think that actors like Nancy Lee Grahn, Kim Zimmer, and Eric Braeden might be able to get on camera and become more than just the punchline to a joke.

The wage effects of training in Portugal: differences across skill groups, genders, sectors and training types
This article investigates the determinants and wage effects of training in Portugal. In a first stage, we show that there are considerable differences in training participation across groups of workers, with elder and low educated individuals participating substantially less. In a second stage, we show that training has a positive and significant impact on wages. The estimated wage return is about 30% for men and 38% for women. Discriminating between levels of education and working experience and the public and private sector reveals important differences across categories of workers. We find that women, low educated workers and workers with long working experience earn larger returns from training. The average effect of training is similar in the private sector and the public sector. However, differences across experience groups are larger in the private sector, while differences across education groups are larger in the public sector. We use three alternative classifications of training activities and find that training in the firm, training aimed to improve skills needed at the current job and training with duration less than a year are associated to larger wage gains.

I got LCD-2.
I have upgraded to LCD-2 without sending LCD1 back, this is a good service to us oversea customers.
LCD2 has been improved on both outlook and sound.
Actually the look difference is closely related to sound improvement. That is, the original LCD1 lacks fitting, this meant LCD1 lacks sealing as well. that is a leaking of bass air mass.
The new lambskin fit nicely around the ears. The most bass air would not leak with such a good fit.
Interestingly, the drivers of LCD-2 has been installed with much inclined. This is similar to S-logic or HD800 to enhance sound imaging.
At the first hearing, it is obvious that the LCD2 inherit the great fast transient of LCD1, the edge of the sound tone rise and down very quickly.
Overall impression of the sound, LCD2 sounded neutral and dead flat. sharp and transparent. Seems like they have designed LCD2 as a studio monitor in mind as well as audiophile headphones. However the sound is not sterile thanks to the wood housing I think. For example, vocal tracks are very nice. In add, LCD-2 sounded quite rich and thick.
The sound of violin is remarkably reproduced like STAX, however LCD2 can be hooked up with any headphone amps as this is a dynamic can.
Another strength is super bass reproduction. This does not meant the bass is huge but the bass is very well extended into the low bottom.
This is a great successor to the LCD-1 planar .

Liv Tyler longs for the country life
Liv Tyler longs to swap her glamorous life in Los Angeles for a peaceful existence in the countryside.
The Armageddon star moved from New York to L.A. following her split from husband Royston Langdon in 2008 – but admits she would love to abandon the city and buy a farm in the country.
She tells Elle magazine, "Before I die I want to live on a farm with chickens, a vegetable garden and a John Deere tractor."
And the 32 year old reveals her ambition was inspired by her pal, fashion designer Stella McCartney, after spending time at her house in Gloucestershire, England.
She adds, "A great night in? Stella McCartney's house in the country. Once our kids are asleep it's 'grab the wine' and take turns to talk boys and husbands."

Handbook of Civil War Texas
At 4:30 on the morning of April 12, 1861—one hundred and fifty years ago this spring (2011)—Confederate States of America artillery opened fire on United States troops in Fort Sumter, South Carolina, beginning the American Civil War. Texans, who had voted overwhelmingly in February 1861 to secede from the Union and then watched their state join the Confederacy in March, thus became involved in a four-year conflict that would take the lives of many and leave none untouched. Texas escaped much of the terrible destruction of the war for a simple reason—United States troops never managed to invade and occupy the state's interior. In sum, the Civil War exacted a huge price, primarily in terms of lives lost and ruined in the Confederate Army and in the privations of those left at home. However, the conflict had two vitally positive results for Texas: It freed the state's more than 200,000 enslaved people, and it destroyed the curse of the 'Peculiar Institution' for the entire society of the Lone Star State.
