Area families continue tradition of Belsnickel
Before going to sleep last night a number of children throughout the area made sure their shoes would be easy to find in anticipation of the annual visit from Belsnickel, who stops by many homes each year on the eve of the feast of St. Nicholas.The tradition of Belsnickel has changed somewhat over the years. At one time he was an intimidating figure who actually showed up at people's homes to make sure their children were behaving and saying their prayers. Today, he often only makes his annual visit after children are asleep, leaving small presents in the shoes of those who have not been misbehaving.

Superhero News: DC Release Schedule, 'Amazing Spider-Man 3' Delayed to 2017
According to Nikki Finke's first scoop in her reboot, below is the DC film release schedule through 2018. The company is about 7 years behind Marvel but there's no question they are also serious as hell about catching up.
Two new Superman films before 2019:
May 2016 – BATMAN V. SUPERMAN
July 2016 – SHAZAM
Xmas 2016 – SANDMAN
May 2017 – JUSTICE LEAGUE
July 2017 – WONDER WOMAN
In other superhero news: AICN reports that Sony is bumping "The Amazing Spider-Man 3" from 2016 to 2017.
If this is true, don't buy the hype you're reading at places like Yahoo News about the box office for "Amazing Spider-Man 2" not being a factor.
When you consider the production and promotion costs, the Sony sequel probably hasn't yet broke even, despite a $700 million worldwide haul.
"Amazing 2" is under-performing in a big way. This is obvious when you wake up to the fact that, like most sequels, it was expected to soar over the first. Even without accounting for inflation, "Amazing 2" is lagging behind the Raimi trilogy, which didn't enjoy the boost that comes from 3D and Imax ticketing. And movies have gotten a lot more expensive to produce and promote since the Raimi days.
These lackluster results likely have Sony rattled, especially when the already-announced threequel is almost certain to cost as much, if not more than its predecessor A run-of-the-mill third chapter just isn't going to do it. The studio needs to take a breath, recalibrate, and try to come up with a plan to overcome two films that have almost no one excited for a third.
'Jump Street,' 'Dragon' Sequels Open Big
Thursday night numbers are fairly reliable indicators of how badly moviegoers want to see whatever is new, and things are looking good for "22 Jump Street."
The sequel to the popular 2012 reboot of the '80s television show took in $5.5 million Thursday night, which is more than twice the amount "Neighbors" grossed on its Thursday debut back in May. "Neighbors" went on to a $48 million opening weekend and a domestic gross of almost $140 million.
"How to Train Your Dragon 2" earned just $2 million last night, but it is a kids film. As Deadline points out, that audience doesn't swarm until Saturday and Sunday.
Both films are expected to clear $50 million or better by Monday morning.
How Could Walter White or Jesse Pinkman Show Up In the 'Breaking Bad' Prequel?
"Better Call Saul" is a prequel to "Breaking Bad."
Saul is the sleazy, easy-to-control, but surprisingly resourceful attorney Walter White hired as his errand boy and fixer. At the time, the show made it quite clear that the two had never met before then. It was just as clear that Jesse didn't know Saul. Regardless, both Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul have said that they would like to be part of "Better Call Saul" — if only for a guest shot.
Maybe you could bring Walter and Jesse back in a subplot where no one meets but the stories still connect in some way. Based on their talents, you have to assume the writers could pull that off without resorting to gimmickry.
Personally, I wish "Better Call Saul" was a sequel not a prequel. I would love to know where Saul ended up and to watch him rebuild after being burned as collateral damage in Walter White's wake. I wouldn't even mind if Saul and Jesse ended up crossing paths. The last time we saw Jesse he was burning rubber with nowhere to go. You could also bring Walter back through flashbacks.
Looks Like Netflix Won a Big Victory for Net Neutrality
Some background…
Even though Comcast's Internet customers paid for service fast enough to stream Netflix, Comcast still put Netflix in what's called a "slow lane" which made it frustratingly difficult for some of Comcast's customers to stream the Netflix they paid for using the Internet they paid for.
To get "fast-laned" Netflix paid Comcast what I would describe as an extortion demand.
Whether it's Netflix or Comcast, customers should get the service they paid for.
If Comcast is losing money due to the amount of Netflix Streaming its customers are using, the company should increase the price of their Internet service to those customers, not blackmail Netflix.
Last week, Netflix pushed back hard after Verizon apparently attempted to pull the same crap. Rather than bend over again, Netflix instead posted an error message for customers that placed the blame where it belonged. "The Verizon network is crowded right now," the message read.
At that point, you can bet people got on the phone with Verizon none too happy about not getting the service they pay a pretty penny for. Veizon squealed. An uneasy truce was worked out.
Today, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler announced he will look into this:
"We don't know the answers and we are not suggesting that any company is at fault," Wheeler wrote in a memo. "Consumers pay their ISP and they pay content providers like Hulu, Netflix or Amazon. Then when they don't get good service they wonder what is going on. I have experienced these problems myself and know how exasperating it can be. Consumers must get what they pay for."
Better late than never. And good on Netflix. They are the little guy disruptors being bullied and blackmailed by multinationals for the unpardonable sin of offering a better product at a cheaper price.
Oh, and did I mention that on top of providing Internet, Comcast and Verizon are also in the cable television business — the business most threatened by streaming services like Netflix?
This Weekend Is All About FX's 'Fargo'
The wife and I are finally paring down our once-bloated DVR to a manageable level and hoping to get through the FX Channel's 10-episode reimagining of the Coen brothers' "Fargo" in time to catch up with the rest of America when it concludes next week.
We're only through one episode but already addicted.
Billy Bob Thornton is spectacular as the unflappable sociopath who sets off an epic chain of human tragedy after he inadvertently ends up spending a few days in the small, wintry Minnesota town of Bemidji. As the meek but simmering insurance salesman Lester Nygaard, Martin Freeman is just as good and completely believable as an American Midwesterner. You instantly forget his iconic British roles in "The Office" and "Sherlock Holmes."
The writing, direction, tone, and performances perfectly capture the 1996 original. At the same time, there's no question it's something all its own.
Everything, as always, depends on the weather. If it's nice, there's still a house to finish painting and remaining brush to clear on those lots I bought last week. This is my third summer in a row of summer-long projects. With some luck, next summer will be all about maintaining the yard and sitting under a tree with a good book and a tall drink.
Have a good weekend, everyone…

Automotive Purposes
Consumer BrandsWe present the automotive trade with crucial knowledge expertise options and join auto sellers with in-market consumers. JakeD – you might be proper. The report acknowledged she did not break any laws. As a partner, Atos has the automotive, the manufacturing and enterprise technology knowledge needed for the digital transformation ahead. Sarah Palin scares me. Her campaigns remind me of the outdated South – the one thing missing is her white hood. This episode with Sarah Palin and the Branchflower report highlights probably the most disturbing things about her – the benefit and eagerness with which she lies.
If you want to duck the purpose, go forward and argue that she will fireplace the man, and therefore she's clear as a whistle. That wasn't the issue. by no means was, never might be. she can. but Wooten had already been disciplined, Monegan had no legal authority to change the self-discipline, the Palin's knew that, however needed to get him anyway. the unethical habits was having Todd use the governors office to strain Monegan and others to trump up a cause to fire Wooten, placing them in untenable positions. firing Monegan was simply the vindictive half when no one would cave. and financial achieve will not be the problem. using your office for any personal agenda, monetary or in any other case, is unethical.
JakeD, it's clear that you are a one-issue voter. Please don't fake to care about ethics. Your only concern is abortion and how one can impose your views on everyone else. Individual B: But, the report says Sarah Palin was inside her rights to fireplace who she needed. Gore offers the technological acumen, deep dedication to high quality and wide range of products that help Tier-1, -2 and -3 manufacturers succeed in the auto trade. Spanning solutions for venting, EMI shielding and gas cell elements, our merchandise are current throughout the automobile: in lighting, electronics, sensors, motors, the powertrain and the engine.
We do much more than ship automotive and automobile components the world over. We also make it easier to to grow into new worldwide markets. In case you are seeking to arrange a plant or export enterprise in an emerging market, we use our local understanding and world experience to make sure that your local provide chain runs smoothly from the beginning, with a seamless connection to your global operations. Monegan is probably ready for the second investigator's report, the one Palin says she'll cooperate with, before he recordsdata a lawsuit.
I was a proud republican and hate to admit it now, but I voted for Bush the first time however certainly not the second time. And I used to be a McCain supporter until he chosen this Palin for his VP. I found it an insult to the American People and a political act for girls votes. I'm dissatisfied in McCain, no dissatisfied will not be the word, but insulted by McCain and Rove. So sure, I asked the identical questions of Clinton, however no less than he directed the nation effectively. Palin is dangerous and shouldn't be near the White House and must be removed from the ticket and as governor of Alaska. You see I am one of those ultra rights but with a way of honesty and think this is simply too harmful for the American Folks. So once once more, I am compelled to vote towards my party.

The Easy, Super-'90s Way I Keep Grown-Out Bangs out of My Face
Bangs, fringe, breakage — whatever you call it, it'll fit in some butterfly clips.
Sable's Take:
For two hair-obsessed youthful humans such as Danielle and I, with many a trip down the fringed road, we've come out the other side for better or worse, foreheads uncovered. We both however, became a pair of giggling doofuses playing around with these Clip-In Bangs made by Hairdo.
Wigs in general are pretty silly to play around with. But a frontal hairpiece, while seemingly extra silly in theory, actually can look quite convincing. BEHOLD:
I have a love-hate relationship with bangs. They're kind of like that ex you keep growing out of (or apart from) until you revisit them again, thinking, "Maybe things will be different this time." And they are… for a little while. But so begins the same process in which they slowly fade away into the rest of your hair (the bangs, not your ex, but you get it). I've had bangs every which way: short, asymmetrical, long eyelash grazers, side-swept, shaggy--I've worn them all. If I had a passport for bangs, I'd be a very well-traveled dame.
Clip-in bangs, however, are the one-night-stands of bangs--sans weird next-day feelings. I've owned fake bangs before that I ordered on eBay for real cheap, but the ones Dani and I used are actually really nice.
The strands don't feel waxy or get tangled together--they certainly don't feel like real hair, but they're a step-up from any old wig.
Each option is varied with highlights to look more "realistic," but unfortunately the Ginger Blonde color was a bit too brassy to match my platinum perfectly.
When you have duo-color hair because like me, you've got roots for days--so much so that calling them "roots" wouldn't even be appropriate. In a funny way, the dark-brunette bangs work almost better than the blonde in terms of blending. But the ginger blonde ones definitely make me ponder what a few choice permanent snips could achieve. (I feel very Geena Davis in The Long Kiss Goodnight, with a blonde banged bob.)
I could learn a thing or two from her about faux-hair styling....
Danielle's Take:
Well, if there is one thing I know, it's that I have a tiny forehead. For this reason, I don't think I will be partaking of the shorter fringe varietals permanently any time soon. Cutting a short fringe is such a commitment that I don't blame people for never trying bangs. I have had them more than a few times in my life, and though it can be a very stylish look, its high-maintenance traits come out faster than an MRA on a first date. Complete control over my hairstyle is one of the primary reasons I play with fake hair so often.
HairDo is one of the more-affordable and easy-to-use faux hair piece lines out, and they were among the first to market the clip-on faux ponytail to the masses, with kiosks in malls countrywide. Things have come a long way since the early 2000s when glossy synthetic hair was the industry standard.
Today's synthetic fibers are much more realistic looking, and you can always reduce shine with a dry shampoo type product if you like, but the most important modern improvement is this: heat-styling capabilities!
Rather than melting synthetic fibers that will thrash the hairpiece and damage your hot tools, this kind is made with heat responsive fibers, allowing tools up to 350 degrees to add texture. This is one way to create an even more undetectable style with the hairpiece.
Sable and I had a good time switching colors and personalities for the evening. It's pretty striking that the colors really do work for both of us and our very multicolored hair.
Obviously, the more-realistic looking clip-ins were the ones that matched closest to our main hair color, but with one simple accessory, you can wear any color you wish: Hats! Pop on a beanie or felt hat (or just about any hat) and you can quite literally wear any color fringe you want!
To get these in is beyond simple: clip. in. to. your. hair. If you have any difficulty, you can lightly backcomb some of the hair you want to attach the piece to. Keep keep frizzies at bay by misting on some aerosol hairspray and smooth down anything unruly.

I know you think that I am referring to YOU wasting my time but what I really mean is this.
We all do things everyday that are totally a waste of our time and even though we know it… we still do it.
We say things to ourselves like "it's only going to take a short while", "I'll get right back to what I was doing" or "this is more fun for now, I'll get to it later".
Have you ever caught yourself in this inner dialogue and behavior? What I want you to do is ask yourself this question right now…
What 1-2 things do I do daily that are really time wasters?
What I have found is that when you make a decision to just stop one of those time wasters and use that time for something that is highly impactful, you get a double reward.
The first reward is having the discipline to choose what to stop- the second reward is using that time towards something more meaningful and productive.
Make a decision today to stop just one. Do this for several days and you'll see a real improvement in your productivity.

Hi Friends,
Today there is so much technology that has been created to make our lives easier. But sometimes this improved communication creates distractions that make it harder to get things done and to focus. I find myself falling into this trap like everybody else! Click below to watch my video blog on how to Stop Letting Distractions Slow You Down.
P.S. If you want help from me on how to focus on your goals and to live the life you've always wanted, check out my FREE guide below.
Look at this incredible statistic:
According to Dr. Edward Miller, Dean of John's Hopkins's University,
Nine out of ten people who have gone thru heart bypass surgery do not change their behaviors or lifestyles after surgery knowing they face death as a result of not changing!
It's sad but true. There is also a way to stop this.
Read on to find out why this happens.
For over 20 years I have been studying why some people are able to achieve the success they want in life while others struggle daily as if fighting for the air they breathe.
The research that keeps coming back over and over again points to the human brain.
You are currently wired to experience and achieve exactly what your current results are showing you. Please don't get me wrong, you are capable of much more, and that is why you are frustrated.
The way we are raised and taught when we are young will determine our results as an adult. If you are not happy with certain results in your life right now, you must change from the inside out.
Using will power and persistence is a temporary act that fizzles out very quickly, as you already know.
Your brain controls all your perceptions and behaviors. Unfortunately, its responsibility is to keep you at whatever current result you are getting. Nothing less and nothing more.
Sure, you can trick it to losing weight or making more money, but it will almost always bring you back to your current level of non-conscious expectations and true beliefs. That is its job.
The "Hard-Wiring" in your brain is your current level of programming or conditioning. You may not like it, but it's the truth.
You can never achieve more in your life without adding new and "better programming".
It's like upgrading software on your computer. If you want better performance from your computer, you do something to the inside, not the outside.
Here's the good news:
Using the latest in brain research and physics we now have brand new ways to get "inside" your head to help you make the mental shifts you must make first, in order to see the changes in your life on the outside.
People have been using the wrong tools for making change and that is why it is so frustrating. With the advancements we've made in science, many more people will be able to make more money and finally live the lives they dream of, in total health and balance.
It takes about 15 minutes a day to rewire the neural circuits of the brain and the results are amazing. Read below to see what Forensic Psychiatrist Dr Louis Cady has to say:
(I have hundreds of testimonials just like this)
"It was like I had been driving around in a Pinto and John gave me a Lamborghini. After more than a decade in private practice, this workshop finally provided the 'missing link' for me to effect much faster change in my patients—and myself!"
Louis B. Cady, MD – Child and Adult Forensic Psychiatrist, speaker, writer and consultant
If you are serious about creating abundance in your life and business and truly are prepared to invest yourself to do finally do it right, I highly recommend that you start with my FREE guide below.
I've often been asked, "What do you think is the biggest contributing factor to failure?"
I can easily answer that question with one word… inaction.
To succeed, you have to do something, something that will move you toward what you want. When you're not moving toward what you want, you're suffering in what you don't want. It's like quicksand, and you get stuck there. It paralyzes you, so that just taking the first step seems unachievable.
But the first step is better than the quicksand because it's one step closer to where you want to be and what you want to be doing. And that inaction is what kills more businesses and relationships than anything else.
Avoid failure… take action!
P.S. If you'd like help in taking the steps toward your life's goals and dreams, then now is the time to check out my FREE guide below.
Do you ever feel like you have so many things to do and so little time to get them done? And not even the best certified life coach in the world could help you? Do you ever feel like life is happening to you and sometimes the high quality of your life or day just isn't there anymore? There are no achievements of goals that you can remember?
In our fast-paced life we want to be many things, wonderful parents, lovers, business people with expertise business coaching, friends and contributors to others. In addition, we want to have lots of energy, money and to live a healthy life that is fun, fulfilling and rewarding. It is no wonder that overwhelm seems to become a common side effect.
I say that feeling overwhelmed is an "effect" because any feeling we have must have been produced by something prior to that feeling. Your thoughts, reactions and actions produce your feelings. So, what is the solution for eliminating your overwhelm and feeling less than highly productive? How can you help yourself experience more achievement of goals?
In my own quest to manage all of my daily, weekly and monthly responsibilities, and personal desires and to live an abundant and fulfilling life, I created a values-based decision and action process for myself that many other people have found useful. I hope you do also and that you embrace it as a form of conscious guided meditation of some type.
First and foremost, it does not need to be complicated. Simplicity is the way of nature and nature does what she does with maximum efficiency, on time, every time. So, it doesn't take executive business coaching to know you don't want to mess with that formula of success.
So, with that said, let me ask you a question. Of all the things you value in your life… what do you value the most? Is it your health? You connection with God? Making money? Your children? Your family? Doing charitable things? Compassion? Peace? Serenity?
We developed and acquired most of our values and achievement goals from our parents and teachers during our very early years of imprinting and through our modeling and mirroring stages between the ages of 14-21. Some of what our parents/teachers valued and deemed important to them may not be what we value most or what will serve our lives best.
When you start your day off with what you value most, your sense of doing and living with your highest purpose and for your highest values makes you feel great every day.
We all get caught up in everything there is to do and we get overwhelmed when we do not get it all done. It seems our day has just slipped by again. A common theme and lesson taught by certified life coaches is that by doing THE highest and most important stuff first, every day, the little things that don't get done seem trivial. In addition, by prioritizing what is really important and MUST get done vs. all the stuff that needs to get done, you begin to shift your mentality to one of high impact and high value.
There are two steps to this process and they both require a bit of thinking and planning.
After guided meditation or any other time, take 15 minutes and write down all the things you value in your life. When you are done, rate them from 1-10 or more.
Next, ask yourself this question:
What must I do today to act upon my highest value?
For example, if health is on your list as one of the top things you value, what can you do every day (including today) to make sure that you take care of that value? You then schedule that somewhere in your day and you make sure you do it. If it's being connected to God, what can you do every day, including today, to take care of that value?
When you take care of the highest values and most important things first, your life has more meaning and you feel fulfilled.
In addition, when you have lists upon lists of things to do, you cannot give the same value to all the stuff on the list. You must prioritize the ones that will have the highest impact on whatever outcome you want for your achievement of goals. Not all your activities are worth or are valued the same. Learn to say "no," and learn to prioritize your to-do list and do only your highest-impact or income-producing activities first.
This process may take you 10 minutes a day, and it will save you hours every day when you apply it.
All my best,
When I was 21 years-old, a gentleman asked me what I thought the value of an hour was. I honestly did not know how to answer the question. He went on to teach me one of the most valuable lessons I have ever learned.
He suggested that the value of an hour was priceless. This confused me some, so this is what he said to me.
"If you invest one hour each day in understanding yourself and your environment better, you will accumulate nine 40-hour weeks over the course of a year!"
Yikes! As you can imagine I was blown away when he put it to me that way.
Nine 40-hour weeks? This seemed impossible until I did the math. 365 days, times one hour each is…yup, nine 40-hour weeks!
He went on to ask me how good I could get at something if I did it all day, every day for just over 2 months. Well, you already know the answer to that.
I thought I could be awesome!
He went on to tell me that over the course of just five years, I would have invested the equivalent of 1,825 hours of focus on whatever I desired to accomplish my life.
Imagine for a minute, how good you can become at anything that you did one hour a day for the next year. How fit could you get? How much more in love would you get and give? How much more money could you earn?
Let me suggest that one hour is a small price to pay in comparison to the payoff. Just one hour a day may be the razor's edge you need to really get the results you want in your life.
For me, the decision was easy. I have been studying human potential and the mind for over 20 years. Each time I think I'm getting a good handle on it, I am gently reminded of how much there is to observe and learn.
Is getting what you want worth an hour a day? I certainly hope so.
I still manage to set aside my hour to read motivational stories or listen to inspirational people. They are the fuel for my mind and it keeps me learning and yearning for more.
Please adopt an hour a day for yourself! Pick one area of your life that you want to improve and commit the next 90 days to that one thing.
I assure you that the results you achieve will be well worth the decision! And remember…you can't take out of life more than you put in.

No one designs a website to deliberately turn off clients, prospects, and
search engines, but all too often that is the end result.
What have they done to turn site visitors off with web design? Here is a
list of the most common mistakes we see.
1. *Confusing Navigation *- Do you make it difficult for people to find
information? Often we see confusing site architecture, or clever page
titles, which don't mean anything to the average visitor. I made that
mistake on the first roundpeg website. The pages all rhymed: Create,
Generate, Colloaborate.. etc. People left, never knowing that we did
graphic design, brainstorming strategy sessions and team building.
2. *Hard to find contact information* – I read somewhere that the number one reason people come to your website is to find your contact information.
Is your phone number visible on the home page? Is the CONTACT US button easy to find?
3. *Copy that talks about You not Me*. I know it is your website, but before someone cares about your years in business, mission statement, and return policy, they want to know – "Can you solve my problem?"

Let the "Hardy Bullock" puns begin!
Batman-on-Film brings to light certain rumors that originate at the generally unreliable IMDb that claim Inception star Tom Hardy -- who was recently cast in The Dark Knight Rises in an unspecified role -- will play Gotham City cop Harvey Bullock in the third Bat-flick.
BoF discounts the rumors, but also doesn't deny the possibility that the buff Brit Hardy could be playing a very different-looking Bullock than the tubby schlub fans are accustomed to seeing.
While we agree that it's possible Bullock might be in TDKR, we tend to believe Hardy will play a more substantial (and overtly bad guy) role in the threequel, like say Professor Hugo Strange (since Nolan's now revealed that the Riddler won't be in it).

- 26 April, 2005 10:50

Moves into top five with enhanced software portfolio

According to Gartner's report "Market Share: Storage Management Software, Worldwide, 2004,"(1) the total market for new license revenue in 2003 to 2004 grew at a rate of 12.3 per cent with Network Appliance (NASDAQ:NTAP) beating the market with a growth rate of 73.5 per cent for the same period. NetApp showed the strongest market share growth among the top ten vendors of storage software and has moved into the top five vendors for market share in 2004. For the second year in a row, this was the fastest growth rate among the top ten vendors in the space and for the first year places NetApp in the top five with a total overall market share of 5.2 per cent.

In core storage management, a subset of the overall storage software market, NetApp was number four with 11.2 per cent of the market and grew at a rate of 74.4 per cent from 2003 to 2004 based on new license revenue, beating overall market growth which was 6.6 per cent year over year.

And finally, in the data replication software segment, another subset of the overall storage software market, NetApp moved into the number two position with 13.5 per cent of the market, growing 73.3 per cent year over year from 2003 to 2004 versus total segment growth of 20 per cent based on new license revenue.

"NetApp is known by many customers as a hardware vendor, but we've been telling customers and prospects for years that software is the real NetApp story and added value," said Patrick Rogers, vice president of Products and Partners at Network Appliance. "Whether the software is integrated into our systems as Data ONTAP™, 'embedded' in technology advances such as RAID-DP, or add-on software for a variety of applications, our solutions are designed to simplify data management, provide easy management tools and provide the highest data availability possible – all at an attractive price and a compellingly low TCO."

Hopefully, these tools will help you find the perfect name – or at least get you started on your way toward finding one.

(9th Apr 2003) Athelas and MerLion Pharmaceuticals Establish Drug Discovery Collaboration for the Discovery and Development of a New Class of Anti-Infectives
-- Research to focus on utilising Athelas' proprietary anti-virulence screens with MerLion Pharma's natural product libraries --
Geneva, Switzerland and Singapore, April 9, 2003. Athelas and MerLion Pharmaceuticals (MerLion Pharma), announced today that they have entered into a two year drug discovery and pre-clinical research collaboration to identify drug candidates in the area of anti-virulence anti-infectives, as a new class of drugs.
The collaboration will bring together MerLion Pharma's outstanding collection of natural product samples, high throughput screening capabilities, natural product and medicinal chemistry expertise together with Athelas' proprietary platform DiVi technology. MerLion will undertake the identification and characterization of lead candidates from their sample library using Athelas' proprietary assays and Athelas will then progress these compounds through initial pre-clinical development. Following selection of lead compounds, both companies will share in the rights and development costs for lead optimisation, clinical development and commercialisation. The two companies will manage the collaboration through a joint research committee. Commercial terms of the collaboration were not released.
"The collaboration with MerLion Pharma, a leader in natural product chemistry, high-throughput screening and assay development, is a strategic fit for Athelas' proprietary DiVi technology for the identification of both bacterial virulence targets as well as drugs inhibiting bacterial pathogenicity," said Dr. Jean-Pierre Paccaud, Athelas' Chief Executive Officer. "In the search for what will be an important new class of anti-infectives, we are delighted to have access to the extensive chemical diversity of MerLion's natural product libraries and to their outstanding scientific team."
Athelas's DiVi technology enables the identification of novel target genes responsible for the expression of virulence factors in a broad range of disease-causing bacteria. It also leads to the development of assays suitable for high throughput screening to identify drugs interfering with bacterial virulence mechanisms. This approach, when coupled with the chemical diversity contained in MerLion Pharma's natural product collection, can provide effective treatments where conventional anti-biotics are failing.
"We are pleased to be collaborating with Athelas in this promising new area of drug discovery," said Dr. Tony Buss, CEO of MerLion Pharma. "The uniqueness of Athelas's scientific and technological approach powered by a highly qualified R&D team constitutes a significant opportunity for the discovery and development of new classes of anti-infectives which address the critical problems related to drug resistance."
About MerLion Pharma (www.merlionpharma.com)
MerLion Pharmaceuticals Pte. Ltd. is a privately held Singapore-based company, focusing on the discovery and development of new drug candidates from natural sources. The company's assets and capabilities include an outstanding natural product sample collection, advanced high throughput screening technology, assay development and medicinal chemistry capabilities.
MerLion Pharma collaborates with leading pharmaceutical companies, biotechs and research institutes to identify and develop drug leads in a wide range of therapeutic areas. The company's other current collaboration partners include Abbott Laboratories, Fujisawa Pharmaceutical, Genome Therapeutics, Johns Hopkins (Singapore), KuDOS Pharmaceuticals, Merck and Co, the National Cancer Centre (Singapore) and NovImmmune SA. MerLion Pharma is also developing and commercialising lead compounds emerging from its own discovery programs. MerLion Pharma is staffed by over 60 employees and occupies 20,000 square feet of labs and offices in the Singapore Science Park.
About Athelas (www.athelas.com)
Athelas is a privately held Geneva-based biopharmaceutical company pioneering an industrialized approach to cell-based anti-virulence drug discovery. Athelas was formed in May 2002 to identify and develop novel anti-bacterial drugs and related products based on a proprietary technology platform. By using advanced animal cell screens to first evaluate drug candidates in an animal cellular model, and then to optimise the safety and efficacy of the candidates, Athelas is able to develop a novel class of drugs to treat infections caused by several major human bacterial pathogens such as Legionella, Salmonella, Staphylococcus or Pseudomonas. Athelas SA was the 2002 biotech winner of the Wall Street Journal Europe Innovation Award.

BAMAKO, Mali -- An image evoked by mentioning the leaders who rule Africa is often this: A young military officer, after shooting his way to power, promotes himself to general. He bans political parties except the one he controls.
Color portraits of the president hang in every store and restaurant. He insists on being called "doctor" or the "guide" or the "No. 1 peasant." He is the richest man in the land. He does not run for election, ever.
For nearly three decades, all but a handful of African nations have been run to some degree as single-party states under a powerful authoritarian leader. The only way that governments changed hands was by military coup, or in the relatively rare instances when a ruler died in office of natural causes.

Bladimir Fray and his colleague did our new furnace installation, including new ducts, a dehumidifier, and a condenser. I was pretty tense about this project because of a recent water problem in the basement. Mr. Fray really put me at ease. He answered all of my questions, kept me up to date on what was underway, and explained the operations of the new equipment very clearly. The team was very professional, and it was clear that they had the expertise and skill for this project. I am very happy with the results. And, their clean up at the end was great! Thanks, Estes!

The maintenance contract is a scam and their prices are at least double market. They claim you can cancel the maintenance at any time for a refund, but when you call, there is no refund. Further, they missed the appointment we had setup and no one seems to care. Zero customer service. Call someone else.

Estes Services replaced our HVAC system during this past week. Ronald Scaife and Jered Moore were the crew which completed the installation. We could not be more pleased. They were here on time and completed the work and clean up on schedule. We could not have made a better choice than Estes and this crew. If we were to do it again we would not change a thing.

We are always glad to hear that our team did a great job! Thank you for taking the time to review us and Thank you for choosing Estes!
I had been a customer for over 25 years and was always relatively satisfied. Last Fall the technician doing the preventive work under the maintenance agreement tried to convince me that the heat exchanger in the downstairs heater was cracked and it would cost just a little bit more to replace the whole system then to replace the heat exchanger. After some questioning of him, I got the impression that he was just trying to make a sale and said leave it alone. We had no problems all winter. In the Spring, the same technician showed up and said that the capacitors on my two a/c compressors were basically shot and should be replaced right away. I asked him how much and he gave me one price if he did it while he was there and a higher price if he had to come back. By this time, I felt I was being scammed. I said to leave it alone and called another HVAC contractor recommended by a friend for a second opinion. He said that while the capacitors were a little weak, he would leave it alone and could always replace them when/if they stop working. I asked for a price quote and it was 40% less than the Estes price. While this other company was here, I asked them to inspect both heaters and both a/c compressors. Everything was in find working order but they pointed out a number of errors that the Estes company had made installing these products. I wold not recommend them to anyone. My only regret was that it took me so long to wake up!

We need to replace our AC. Not an emergency but may as well get it done. Calling to get companies to come give estimates. And this is where things derailed with me and Estes. It is impossible to get their call center people to go off script. It's like I'm being pre-qualified to give them my business. I just want to call, give my name and address and invite an estimator to come at a time of my choosing. I don't want to tell me life story.

I am under the service agreement and called, knowing something was wrong with one of my units. I was told they could come out the next day for the $59 charge and look at it, but if I waited for a scheduled service call (the two a year under the agreement) I wouldn't be charged the $59. I agreed to wait, which was a three week wait, all the while using fans and opening windows. When the inspection day finally came, I was told I needed a new motor and Freon ($700 for the new motor and $400 for Freon) and that he would come back next week to do this and that these were the only charges. I told him we may get the motor replaced by someone else and he said he could add Freon when I was ready. That is when he told me there was a $59 charge for the day (diagnostic fee). I told him I wanted to discuss this with the office since I was told if I waited there would not be the $59 charge. It was after 7pm when this was told to me so I planned to call the next morning. Before I could call the next morning, they had already charged me the fee that I did not yet authorize. I found another company to replace the motor (for less than $300 instead of the $700). I called to schedule the Freon addition and they said it would be another $59 to come out. This is not what was told to me the week prior. I called to cancel the service agreement and was told I owed over the totally yearly amount of monthly fees to cancel. wow.

Had a condenser motor go out and was quoted a cost of $743.00 non-OEM motor, with the 15% discount but that was before labor and service fee. The technician quoted a total of around $1000.00 to $1,200.00 and then attempted to explain that at that price it may be cheaper to just get an entirely new unit. He quoted a cost of $134 a pound for Freon and that we would need probably around 3.5 pounds. Decided to do my homework and found out some interesting things. 1.) The non-OEM motor that he was going to install only costs $119.00. I decided to find out what the OEM motor would cost from the company that makes the unit and it was only $243.00 with free overnight shipping. Needless to say I ordered it. 2.) A new outside unit the same size and rating would cost about $4500.00 installed (taxes & fees and disposal) Nice attempt at an upsell. NOT HAPPENING. 3.) The system we have now according to the gauge that I hooked to it needs less than a pound of Freon. That's just crooked actions. Untrustworthy. All he had to do was be honest and we might not have researched as deeply.

They wants a $608 profit and labor for a 3o min job. that's unbelieveable.Save your money and look elsewhere

Respectfully, we disagree with some of the information above and would like to post a response. First, the manufacturers that make HVAC equipment (in this case Rheem) will not sell parts directly to the unlicensed public. As such, the part that you would be purchasing online would be secondary and may or may not work for your furnace. We always recommend and sell OEM parts as they have been proven to perform better year in and year out. It costs a company significant money to carry parts on their trucks, staff a customer service center, provide support to our field staff and pay our employees just to name a small few of our costs. Each of these items must be covered in order for us to continue to operate so your math on our profitability is drastically overstated. And in the end how long did you have to wait for the control board to arrive and how long will it be warrantied? Our parts and labor are warrantied a full year and I bet that your furnace still isn't working today after our visit last Friday. If your furnace breaks again this winter, who are you going to call from the internet to get your money back?

"Our research suggests that print Yellow Pages should still be a key part of an SMB's budget in Urban areas and should still dominate the budget in a rural areas."
Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) November 20, 2012
Consumer usage of print Yellow Pages has not greatly waned over the last six months even though consumers have more choices, according to a study including 39,097 live interviews with urban and rural US consumers performed by Market Authority, the leader in print/digital search pattern research. However, perception in urban as well as in rural markets shows a stark contrast between what consumers believe about local search and how consumers actually find a local business.
"The perception that print Yellow Pages is all but dead in urban environments has significantly impacted the revenues of major publishers," said Steve Sitton, president of Market Authority. "However, based upon our research (including over 150,000 live consumer metropolitan interviews in the last few years) that belief is highly exaggerated."
According to Market Authority's last summation of 19 US Urban Areas, 67% of consumers in urban households report using the printed directory at least occasionally when searching for a local business; however the standard urban consumer perception is that only 19% use the print Yellow Pages. Among older consumers, such as Baby Boomers and Seniors (48+), print usage is much stronger.
"The staying power of printed Yellow Pages in Metro areas is a bit surprising even to us," Sitton continued. "For years now, we have been very closely watching the rate of migration from print local usage to digital local usage by American consumers. The movement from print to digital local search appears to have slowed a bit over the last year."
In rural markets, print usage remains extremely strong, with nearly 90% of consumers reporting that they still use the printed directory at least occasionally when searching for a local business. And, as with urban areas, Baby Boomers and Seniors in rural markets report even stronger print usage.
Steve goes on to say; "Our research suggests that print Yellow Pages should still be a key part of an SMB's (Small to Medium Size Business) budget in Urban areas and should still dominate the budget in a rural areas."

It can be hard to know what to do when an uncomfortable, even potentially dangerous, situation arises, but silence and inactivity never make a situation better. Try some of these ideas!
Clarification:Some people may not realize the impact of their language or behaviors. Ask questions about what happened and encourage them to think about what happened.
Sounds Like:
"When you said ____ what did you mean?"
"I'm not sure I understand what you are saying?"
"What was your intention?"
Direct Interventions:Intervening when someone is in immediate physical danger or when the conversation topic gets inappropriate and it is addressed at the moment. It sends a message that you are concerned, paying attention and willing to get involved.
Sounds Like:
"I don't agree with you"
"I don't think that's appropriate."
"Please stop that."
"I'm calling for help."
"Is everything ok?""Do you need help?"
"I" Statements:Emphasizing the impact the behavior had on you by stating your feelings, recognizing the behavior that made you feel that way and stating what you would like the other person's response to be.
Sounds Like:
"It makes me feel uncomfortable when you talk about other people in that way. Please stop using that type of language.""I feel ___when you ___. Please don't do that anymore."
Indirect Intervention:Addressing the issue at a later time.
Sounds Like:
"I want to talk with you about something I heard you say last night.""Something has been bothering. Can we talk?"
Nonverbal Communication:Facial expressions and body language send powerful messages about your disagreement or discomfort in a situation.
Looks Like:
Concerned facial expression, silent stare, crossed arms
Personalize:Personalizing the situation sometimes helps the person being confronted to take the feedback seriously, empathize with how they have made someone feel or consider the impact of their actions.
Sounds Like:
"Would you want a friend treated that way?"
"I really don't appreciate that kind of language."
"We're friends and I am worried about you."
"I am worried that if you keep this up, you will get in trouble."
Provide Information:
Sometimes it is helpful to provide the facts, describe the law or explain a policy. Some people may be unaware that their behavior meets the criteria of being something harmful.
Sounds Like:
"It's not about your intent, it's about the interpretation. This could be considered sexual harassment and that's not funny."
"If they're drunk, they can't give consent for sex.""You told them to leave you alone. If they keep it up you could file a harassment or stalking complaint."
This could be direct or indirect intervention. Ask for guidance from a professor, staff member, colleague, counselor (confidential resource) or someone that you feel comfortable talking to about the subject. Tell them what you've observed and ask them for help. This could be as easy as anonymous call to Campus Public Safety to let them know what is happening.
Distraction: You can interrupt the behavior without directly addressing it or the offender. For instance, asking for directions, the time or help with something
Humor: Humor can be an effective technique to decrease tension, raise awareness and increase critical thinking, when used properly. Be cautious that humor also has potential of minimizing an important point.
Strike When the Iron is Cold: Sometimes people need to calm down and relax before an intervention. Talk to them later about the events to give the offender time to rethink their actions and give the target a chance to leave.

Barbecue to Marry Beer in New York Observer Building
By Tom Acitelli July 7, 2011 10:52 amreprints
What goes good with beer? Barbecue, we're guessing (and hoping). Hell, we'll make it work
The New York Observer Building at 321 West 44th Street will welcome the second of two new commercial tenants with the signing last week of a Japanese Barbeque restaurant at its base.
Gyu-Kaku, a chain with more than 200 locations across the globe and two other spots in Manhattan, has inked a 15-year, 5,000-square-foot transaction for ground-floor and basement space at the Kushner Companies-owned building, brokers for Winick Realty told The Commercial Observer. The asking rent on the space was $75 a square foot annually.
The transaction near Eighth Avenue comes on the heels of another deal in May that put the New York Beer Company in the same building, meaning a pub this fall. Winick also arranged that deal.
Lori Shabtai, Kelly Gedinsky and Monica Kass of Winick represented Kushner Companies in the deal while Fuminori Yokoyama, an independent agent, represented Gyu-Kaku in the transaction. (Jared Kushner, a principal at the landlord, owns The Observer.)
"Activity is really moving west with all the new residential development, and there has been consistent foot traffic at this space," Ms. Gedinsky said. "And, plus, who doesn't want to be at the base of The Observer?"

The NYPD is searching for a vandal who drenched the Council on Foreign Relations building on the Upper East Side in bright red paint, cops said.
An unidentified man dressed in black from head to toe tossed the paint onto the building just after midnight on Nov. 5, according to police.
The incident wasn't reported to cops until the later the same morning around 9:30 a.m. when the damage was discovered, cops said.
Investigators scoured the area for video and were able to capture the suspect who was carrying the paint in a plastic bag, cops said .
The NYPD's Intelligence Division has been made aware of the incident and police said the crime has been classified as felony criminal mischief.
The perpetrator caused $1,500 in damage to the façade of the famed building, cops said.
According to their website, the CFR is a resource to help the public better understand the foreign policy choices facing the United States and other countries.
A spokesman for CFR said there is no reason to believe that this was anything more than a random act.

Roland DGA Introduces New CAMM-1 GR Series Cutters -- Uniquely Designed to Maximize Productivity
Dec 13, 2012, 03:00 EST
IRVINE, Calif., March 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Roland DGA has announced the launch of its new CAMM-1 GR series – next generation large-format cutters engineered from the ground up to deliver best-in-class cutting quality and productivity. Combining rugged construction with a host of advanced features, the GR series offers users unsurpassed speed, accuracy and versatility.
Every GR series cutter features an "L-shaped" integrated machine and stand design that ensures optimum stability, even when cutting at speeds of up to 58.5 inches/sec (1,485 mm/sec). In addition, GR series cutters offer up to 600 gf of down force, for the power needed to cut through thicker media with ease and precision. Each model is also equipped with a new dual-position tool carriage that makes the transition from kiss-cutting to perforating seamless. Repositioning the blade from the front holder to the second blade holder over a groove in the platen eliminates the need to frequently replace the protection strip on the device.
GR series cutters are capable of reading crop marks generated by the most popular industry-wide software, which gives the cutter total flexibility to be paired with existing large-format printers in the market. With a choice of GR cutters available – the GR-640, GR-540 and GR-420 – users can select from 64-inch, 54-inch and 42-inch cutting widths to suit their specific needs.
Roland's GR series cutters feature an advanced media feeding system that helps optimize performance and production. Electronically adjustable pinch rollers allow the pressure to be adjusted to 10 pre-set levels with the touch of a button for smooth feeding of any media thickness. Each GR cutter also offers up to 10x overlap cutting for slicing through difficult-to-cut substrates, plus a tangential emulation function for precise corner cutting when cutting letters from thicker materials. For increased convenience, there's a built-in media basket that makes collecting cut sheets easier than ever.
According to Julie Gederos, Roland DGA's product manager, cutters and digital platforms, Roland's GR series cutters are engineered to serve an increasingly diverse cutting industry. "Today's shops need to handle a wide range of applications, materials and media thicknesses," noted Gederos. "GR cutters are built for exactly that, making them ideal not only for sign making, but also for producing window and vehicle graphics, window tinting and car protection film, personalized apparel, labels and decals, packaging prototypes, and more."
Technical innovations and included Roland CutStudio software make GR series cutters extremely efficient and simple to use. CutStudio incorporates a Perforating Cutting function for creating pop-out stickers and decals, a Cut-by-Color function that's useful when outputting designs with multiple colored sheets, plus new functionality that automatically creates weed lines to facilitate weeding after designs have been cut. CutStudio also includes plug-in software that enables direct outputting from Adobe® Illustrator® and CorelDRAW®. In addition, GR series cutters are supported by Roland's most popular RIP, VersaWorks Dual, and with new Ethernet connectivity, they can be easily integrated into an existing network running Roland printers.
