The Global Hematology Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5% from 2010 to 2017
The global hematology market is forecast to grow from $5.7 billion in 2010 to $8.1 billion by 2017 with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5%. The hemostasis market is the largest segment in terms of market size and accounted for almost 30% of the total revenue generated from hematology diagnostics in 2010. Hematology reagents, immunohematology and hematology rapid tests are the other three segments which contributed major shares in terms of market size and accounted for about 22%, 19%, and 11% respectively of the total revenue generated from hematology market in 2010.
The hemostasis segment will continue to witness high growth and remain as the largest segment in 2010. The global market for hemostasis is forecast to grow from $1.7 billion in 2010 to about $2.3 billion by 2017, with a CAGR of 5%. Development in bench-top high throughput hematology analyzers and in high sensitivity point of care tests will drive the growth in the global hematology market. Commercialization of innovative products is also likely to drive the future growth in the market.
The US is the Biggest Market for Hematology
The US market for hematology was valued at $2.8 billion in 2010 and is forecast
to grow at a CAGR of 5% to reach $4 billion in 2017. The US is the biggest market in the sector, contributing 50% towards the global hematology market in 2010. Hemostasis was valued at $921.7m in 2010. It will continue to be the largest segment by 2017, growing at an estimated 4% CAGR during the period 2010–2017 to reach $1.2 billion by 2017. The demand for hematology products in the US is mainly driven by increased awareness about preventive health care medicine. Furthermore, the market is expected to be driven by the increasing elderly population, automation and adoption of automated point of care testing instruments.

The Shift to Preventive Medicine and Rising Levels of Basic Healthcare is Driving the Hematology Market
The US is implementing healthcare reforms centered on preventive healthcare to overcome the burden of rising healthcare costs. The healthcare reform bill
'Affordable Care Act' passed in the US in March 2010 is expected to greatly reduce the number of uninsured people in the country. This reform is expected to increase the percentage of people with medical insurance from about 80% at present to more than 90%. The 'Affordable Care Act' also encourages hospitals and providers to find new ways to provide higher quality care and avoid unnecessary hospital readmissions. Furthermore, the US government is adapting programs of preventive care for chronic diseases. The overall objective of these reforms is to invest more in preventive medicine, thereby decreasing the number of hospitalizations and the overall cost of care.
Similarly, an increasing number of governments in emerging markets are increasing efforts to raise their levels of basic healthcare. The healthcare reforms in China that commenced in 2009 involve an investment of $124 billion in public healthcare services over a three year period. Furthermore, in April 2008, Japan introduced a new system of specific health checks and specific healthcare education, aimed at insured individuals aged between 40 and 74 years. The implementation of these reforms will make basic healthcare undergo changes on a global basis. At the same time as this, the shift in preventive medicine and reforms in basic healthcare provide a huge opportunity for the diagnostic market. Overall the diagnostic testing sector, which includes hematology, is expected to play an important role in healthcare, thereby driving the hematology market.
Hematology Market is Expected to Experience Higher Growth Rates in Emerging Countries (China, India and Brazil) in the Future
China, India and Brazil are three emerging economies that are spending more than $2.5 billion per year on In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) products. The hematology markets in these emerging economies are forecast to grow at a CAGR of 14%, 16% and 8% respectively during the period 2010–2017. The growth in these economies will be driven by increasing population, significant market potential, increasing health care expenditure and growing affordability for private medical care.
For further details, please click or add the below link to your browser:
Clinical Labs and Diagnostic Medicine
Both the Brazilian and Indian government follow a similar stratified structure to provide access to medical services for their populations. The public sector clinics and hospitals are strapped for cash and always poorly funded. In recent times
there has been an increasing investment in private health care infrastructure in these countries, specifically corporate hospitals and commercial labs. Private hospitals have there own internal institutional review boards and ethical committees, thus have a greater advantage over government hospitals in fast tracking decisions, making them a focused target for many international IVD firms.
In China, there is a less existence of private medicine in any form. Once the government clarifies its position on regulation of private medicine then there will be a significant growth in the commercial lab business. The private sector of the Chinese diagnostic market which includes hematology is completely unoccupied and it provides a great market opportunity for IVD companies.
IVD Technical Competence is high in Emerging (China, India, and Brazil) Countries
In India and China the local facilities and development assets, particularly in private healthcare, are increasing rapidly. In India the private laboratory chains are thriving in metropolitan cities. SRL Ranbaxy has significant processing labs in Mumbai, Delhi, and the other major cities of India and collects samples from 350 towns countrywide. Dr. Lal Path Labs has 27 labs and collects diagnostic samples from 250 towns across the country. Although foreign companies have
not entered the private lab market in a significant way there, Quest Diagnostics recently opened a large facility in New Delhi, India.
Along with that there is plenty of technical competence in all three countries, due to which these markets are not suitable for me-too products. Innovative products and competitive pricing would play a crucial role for any foreign players looking to enter into this market. The type of diagnostic instruments required by these countries during the next five to seven years will not be the same as those required by the developed markets. So the companies venturing into these markets should consider these points and design suitable diagnostic systems for these countries.

Beckman Coulter, Sysmex and Roche were the Leading Players in the Global Hematology Market in 2009
In 2009, Beckman Coulter was the leading player in the global hematology
market with a share of 15%. Sysmex Corporation and Roche also have a significant presence in the global hematology market with a market share of 13% and 12%, respectively.
Beckman Coulter holds the competitive advantage in the hematology market due to its advanced technology, high automation and strong brand recognition. The Beckman product portfolio in the hematology market includes the LH 1500 Series hematology automation solutions, UniCel DxH cellular analysis system, Coulter Ac.T family of hematology analyzers and Coulter LH series automated hematology analyzers. Furthermore, the UniCel DxH slidemaker and stainer is waiting for marketing approval in Europe and Canada. It is designed to facilitate automation of slide making and staining in hematology laboratories. UniCel DxH product is expected to receive approval by the end of 2011 in Canada and Europe. It is expected that the marketing approval in these regions will further increase the overall market share of Beckman Coulter in the global hematology market.
Sysmex and Roche also have a strong presence in the market due to their advanced product portfolio of hematology diagnostics. Sysmex offer XS, XT and XT series of automated hematology analyzers and point of care testing instruments. Roche offers Accu-Chek, CoaguChek, Cobas, Confirm and the
LightCycler series of coagulation analyzers and hematology automation systems.
Currently, the hematology market is congregated by a significant number of small players. However, it is expected that the reforms implemented by the developed and emerging economies will bring a change on a global basis, thereby further opening the market to new entrants. As there are few barriers to the entry of new players into the market, it could see heightened competitive intensity due to multiple product launches.

'Tis the Season!
It was about a year ago when I was trying to find Christmas concerts to put on my calendar.
After looking at dozens of choir websites and choral postings, I decided to build an online Choral Calendar where I could find choral concerts via a single source.
So today I am happy to see all of the seasonal concerts on the Choral Calendar!
With Thanksgiving next week, I also want to share my gratitude for all of the choirs using ChoralExpress, especially the many choirs here in Minnesota.
As ChoralExpress moves into its second year, it is my hope to have more and more communities across the nation use ChoralExpress as their primary source for finding choral concerts. I am grateful for all the new choirs joining ChoralExpress from week to week. Recently, choirs from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Virginia all joined the site.
I am also grateful for the many people who have subscribed to the ChoralExpress eNewsletters! I hope to see more and more people from across the country subscribing to the eNewsletters - it's a great way to get a quick update on upcoming concerts!
Wishing you all a blessed Holiday Season!

Whenever a film on friendship will be remembered in Indian Cinema, the movie that will top the list is unarguably Rajshri Production's super hit DOSTI. The movie that was released on November 6, 1964 completes fifty years. Glamsham enlightens the younger generation about the movie that till date is remembered for its mesmerizing story and melodious music.
The story was interwoven with a layer of tender love of a sister that made the story more touching and moving. To add cherry to the cake is the soul stirring music by Laxmikant Pyarelal. Who can forget the super hit songs like Chahoonga Main Tujhe Saanj Savere…; Meri Dosti Mera Pyar…; Rahi Manwa Dukh Ki Chinta….;Mera To Jo Bhi Kadam….; Jaanewalo Zara….
Directed by the legend Satyen Bose, the movie was almost like a gamble by Rajshri Production because it had no star valve, no action, no romance and to top it all it was made in black and white, when other movies were being made in color. But film producer Tarachand Barjatya was convinced by the powerful story by Ban Bhatt. Hence, he went ahead and hit the bull's eye.
Readers would be surprised to know that movie which was made on a shoe-string budget created a furor at the box-office and won a whopping harvest. According to trade reports the movie earned Rs 2,00,00,000 and was the top 10 grosser in 1964. What's more the movie created a sensation at the popular Filmfare awards at it went on to win six awards including Best Film and Best Music and Best Story and Dialogue. The other awards included Best Lyrics and Best Playback singer award to Mohd. Rafi for the song Chahoonga Main Tujhe Saanj Savere…
What may stun readers is that the movie that took a severe blow was Raj Kapoor's movie SANGAM because the movie lost not just the Best Film award but also lost the Best Music award to DOSTI!!!
Shankar Jaikishan, who had given such a superlative music in SANGAM were confident of the Filmfare award but were taken by surprise when the young music directors Laxmikant Pyarelal, (Once their assistants) went away winning their First Filmfare award.

Aarhus University's Visitors' Service is staffed by students employed at sections including AU Communication.
The Visitors' Service offers free guided tours of the university for groups. You arrange the meeting point and departure time for the tour with our students, and the time slots depend on their study plans. The tours include a guided tour of selected buildings at the university and in the University Park. The tours are conducted by students with general knowledge of the history of Campus Aarhus, as well as its architecture, art works and study life.
A typical tour takes one hour, but we can make it shorter or longer depending on what you would like to see. We recommend you to wear sensible walking shoes, as the distance covered is actually between two and three kilometres. You can also combine your tour with a visit to one of the university's museums (website in Danish only), including lunch or coffee in one of the university's canteens (website in Danish only). However, you are personally responsible for organising this.
Free guided tours are available for all interested groups (minimum five people), such as schools, associations, companies and clubs.
The Visitors' Service offers guided tours from Monday to Thursday between 08.00 and 17.00 and on Fridays between 08.00 and 14.00, and we can conduct tours in Danish or English. Please note that we charge a fee for guided tours from Monday to Thursday after 17.00, as well as on Fridays after 14.00 and at weekends.
If you would like to organise a guided tour for a group, you can book by sending an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. Please contact us at least a month before the date requested because the Visitors' Service at Aarhus University depends on students who have to fit the tour in with their studies.
If you are interested in learning more about the history of Aarhus University, you can find information (in Danish only) here.

Permanent Collection
Quick Picks From the Disc Changer:
Ratdog 8/23/02- You can t do better than Europen Ratdog
Percy Hill, 1/12/00- Geminatrix > Exodus
KVHW, 10/28/98- My first exposure to KVHW back in the day
WSP, 8/6/03- A fantastic sounding acoustic show
Ravi Shankar, Live at Monterey – Afternoon listening
I recently picked up an iAudio M3 player because it plays both FLAC and WAV files (MP3s be damned!), and immediately grabbed a handful of discs that have been car discs- those I always have in the car- and put them on as permanent fixtures. Each one is a gem worth checking out.
This opening set for SCI at Red Rocks is one of the brightest, most energetic and utterly pleasing discs in my library. There isn't even the hint of weakness. The shoeps source is phenomenal and transfers the bristly tingle of the performance perfectly- it's the type of recording people are musing over when they say they rather hear an audience recording than a soundboard.
The band was in the thick of a song focus phase at the time, and here that phase is shown at very best. The tunes are shorter, concentrated and bursting at their seams. The compositions are on display and there are no transitions or suites- just sterling versions of 986 Ft Trees, an early Tokyo, Today and Rilly Wut? Required listening.
Warren Mix, Dead Summer Tour Samples
The Dead released FLAC samples from every show of the 04 summer tour, each chosen by a member of the band or crew- the end result was about 3 full discs worth of music to play with. From the first leg of the tour, I put together a mix that ended up being heavy on Warren, but really an amazing, weighty set, where everything flows nicely into one another (except for the Sugar Mag). The list goes: BT Wind, Madman, Low Spark, Sapce > China Doll, Lazy River Road, One, Cortez, Sugar Mag, and it's a powerful listen. Sometimes I have to turn it off after Low Spark just to breath for a minute. There is this growl from Warren in the middle of Madman that just pushes it over the top, and Lazy River Road is gorgeous- it's never been played so well before. Take a few minutes and put this one together.
Trey Anastasio, Live 1999
This little mix of soundboard cuts from the 99 tour, which ranks higher than most other Trey tours in my mind, largely because of the energy and vitality, and lack of self indulgence, has been circulating for a while now. It's tight, tight music, the way these tunes were meant to be heard. In the frenetic, looped First Tube, a hugely funky strut drops down to just Trey alone on rhythm guitar and it's so very, very bad. Primal Trey is so much more satisfying than with an orchestra, bemoaning a sappy tune. The disc also includes a hot version of Aqui Como Alla, and a swollen, body shaking Sand. This disc is simply exceptional. Get it.
Wayne Shorter, Danny Perez, John Pattitucci and Brian Blade- Piazza della Riforma, Lugano, Switzerland 7/13/01
This four song set is explosive right from the start, with just the right amount of pushing from all the band members. It is clearly a touring unit comfortable with both the material and each other. The members are willing and able to stretch the boundaries and attack the themes. The opening Sanctuary boils over with energy and excellent drumming from Brian Blade. Aung San Suu Kyi is equally stunning, packed with aggression and abandon. This is a very strong performance- a staple for my ears. *Peter Tosh- Live and Dangerous *
This official disc is from 6-11-76 (which is also the date of a fine Dead show by the way) and is high energy and entirely addictive. It opens with a great instrumental jam followed by Igziabeher (Let Jah Be Praised). The performance is loaded with that loving aggression and pride that led Tosh away from the Marley camp and down his own road- it's all about the machine gun guitar. And in fact the guitar work on this disc is exceptional- just excellent, forceful but balanced playing. Some of the other highlights include a lengthy, preachy Burial, Mark of the Beast and a boiling Steppin' Razor. I just can't stop listening.

Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is the difference between the color matched caulk and the laminate repairer product? FormFill Adhesive & Caulk is a water based acrylic product used in most interior caulking applications. The product remains flexible to withstand expansion or contraction in most weather conditions. The caulk is also an adhesive used to glue two pieces of countertop together. FormFill Laminate Repairer is a solvent based product that is durable and designed only for stationary areas (i.e.. chips on the deck of the countertop, filling deck seams, etc...).
Will FormFill Products repair burned countertops? Probably not satisfactorily.
What if I don't know the color name or the name of the company that manufactured my countertop? The best way to handle this dilemma is to go to any local home improvement store or local countertop dealer. They will have sample chips of all the colors offered. Find a chip that matches your countertop and use the part number or name to find the correct FormFill number. Most of the major countertop manufacturers also have pictures of all the colors on their web sites.
What about surface scratches? FormFill Laminate Repairer is not appropriate to fill in surface scratches. The product adheres to the substrate of the countertop which is usually dark brown in color.
How large a repair is possible with FormFill Laminate Repairer? Any repair larger than 1/4" x 1/4" is going to be very difficult to repair and other options would have to be considered at that point.
What is FormFill Solvent? FormFill Solvent is 100% Acetone. It is required when working with FormFill Laminate Repairer. It is used in preparing the surface, cleaning, and leveling the repair.
What if my countertop is a pattern or wood grain finish? FormFill Products offers exact matches to solid colors and will match the base color in wood grain and pattern finishes.
Will this $15 tube of goop make my horribly disfigured countertop look brand spanking new? No. Plastic laminate countertops aren't really "repairable". FormFill does a fantastic job of camoflaging the damage, but it won't make an invisible repair.

Our wedding packages give you a wonderful opportunity to throw a grand event on a reasonable budget. You can offer your guests the privacy of our entire museum for the evening for the price of the specific venues you use. Regardless of whether your style is an outdoor ceremony in front of the stately Millermore Mansion, an intimate exchange of vows in the Pilot Grove Church, a grand reception in our spacious Chautauqua Pavilion, or a relaxing evening of dancing under the stars on our brick-paved Main Street, your Dallas Heritage Village wedding will be the perfect place to begin the history of your new family.
Our package pricing includes many of the extras that can drive up the cost of your wedding: parking, security, rehearsal time, and a property manager are all included, plus more. With the money you save on those expenses, you may choose to add a historical interpreter in period dress, surrey rides around the Village or even a craft demonstration…anything that makes your evening unique and special for your guests.
Your big day doesn't have to have a big guest list or a big price tag at Dallas Heritage Village. If your ideal ceremony is an intimate affair with no more than twenty of your family and friends, then ask about our discount wedding ceremonies.

The addition of the EVO category to the World Superbike class has had the hoped-for effect on the grid. From a modest entry list of 19 riders last year, the grid is up to a healthy 27 entries for 2014.
The number of manufacturers has increased as well, up to 9, with MV Agusta, EBR (Erik Buell's latest venture), and Bimota all taking part, racing this year under the EVO banner. Bimota's entry is still provisional, subject to homologation of the BMW-based BB3 being approved.
The gamble of introducing a cheaper, lower-spec form of racing appears to have paid off, with 12 riders entered in the EVO category. Like the CRT class in MotoGP, the EVO category makes competing cheaper, with tuning restrictions closer to Superstock levels on engines, while chassis regulations remain the same as for the full SBK class entries.

Boris Johnson's fire chief was questioned by police this week after a woman accused him of a threatening and "intimidating" phone call.
Independent candidate Linda Edwards, who runs a charity linked to Barnet council claims Brian Coleman warned it would:
"suffer after the election" because of her candidacy and added it is "now open season for everyone to have a knock at you and [your charity] The Larches will suffer..."After the call I felt he was trying to get me to pull out and not stand for the council. I was so worried by the threats he made about the charity and me."
Edwards is one of a group of twelve independents standing against "the direction of some of the Council's policies and its failure to listen to local people."
A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police told me this morning:
"We can confirm on Monday 19 April police in Barnet received a complaint from a female complaining of an abusive phone call she had received from a man.Officers from Colindale assessed the complaint and, after seeking advice from the CPS, deemed no criminal offence had been committed.The man was traced and an officer spoke to him and advised him of his future conduct."
As somebody who has also received an angry call from Brian in the past, I can only hope that he takes that advice.

TFI™: Test de français international
The TFI test evaluates the French-language listening and reading proficiency levels of people whose native language is not French.
It is offered in Public Test Sessions, every month, in several Canadian cities.
Schools and businesses can also offer the TFI test to their clientele in private institutional or corporate test sessions.
Detailed Description
The TFI test is a standardized 110-minute paper-based, multiple-choice assessment. It is divided into two sections (Listening Comprehension and Reading Comprehension) of 90 questions each.
Results of the TFI test reflect, simply and fairly, the test-takers' ability to communicate effectively in French in business and academic environments, from beginner to advanced levels. The scores, valid for 2 years, span between 10 and 990 points (5 to 495 points for each section) and are mapped on the CEFR scales.
The test uses common everyday vocabulary, phrases and key expressions that reflect real-world tasks and can be used for both academic and workplace purposes. For instance, it serves as an admission criterion for non-francophone candidates who wish to enter programs in which courses are delivered in French. The TFI test can also help teachers to
- Place students in appropriate levels
- Evaluate the proficiency of students throughout their program
- Increase motivation by setting clear course objectives
Language schools and faculties can use the TFI test to demonstrate the value of their programs. Students can then add their TFI score and score description to their resumes.
Also, the TFI test can help human resources professionals to
- Determine the French level required for specific positions
- Hire and promote staff
- Identify language needs in their company
- Develop training programs
- Monitor return on training investment

What Homes To Buy, Facing South, North, East or West?
A lot of new immigrants from China prefer houses facing south, they are somewhat reluctant to buy houses facing the other directions. Actually as one of those who work and live in Vancouver, I don't really care what direction my house faces. In fact I'd rather buy those houses facing West or East. Because obviously West-facing or East-facing homes will enjoy much more sun light into the house, in all seasons. And people spend most time in the kitchen, therefore kitchen and master bedroom are facing South, instead of front door. If you like to have oceanview home in Vancouver westside, you are going to buy those North-facing houses. Because the ocean is at the north side of the city.

Buy Homes in Vancouver in 2014
It might be the best year to come to Vancouver and buy real estate home. Especially for those Chinese who usually like to travel to Vancouver during Chinese new year. Because Canadian dollar becomes relatively weak these days. I think it necessary to update you about fees and costs related to buying and maintaining homes in Vancouver. Firstly, mortgage Since Canadian banks become more conservative when lending money to home buyers, the maximum mortgage you can get from banks decreases from 70% of the total price to 65% or even lower. Secondly, property transfer tax This is the way of calculating that cost: 1% of first 200,000, and then 2% of the remaining. There is an easy way: just multiplys total price with 2% and then subtract by 2000. Thirdly, lawyer fee Depending on the total price of the...Read More
What Is Average Return of Investment For Vancouver Real Estate
Is 10-20% ROI reasonable for Vancouver real estate market? We think it impossible to have ROI as high as what is happening in China housing market in recent decade. The major reason is that Canadian governments and banks have little interfere with Canadian housing market. Everything what they do or not do is to make the real estate market stable. Therefore Canadian real estate market reflects what the real demand and supply is. Most people in Canada buy homes for their major residences, there's less possibilities for Canadian real estate market to have "bubbles", as well for Vancouver real estate market. If you are interested in investing in Vancouver housing market, you have to know the local market very well and to evaluate the risk of investment as you would in any other markets. No one can guarantee any...Read More

Low Pricing or High Pricing, Which Strategy Is The Best
Home pricing is one of the most important steps in terms of selling real estate homes in Vancouver. Reasonable pricing should be based on only one thing: the market. Some sellers may want to set a price to cover all the costs and expenses. That will make it either under estimated or over estimated your property value.

Tom Arnold to Play Tom Arnold–like Person on New Show
On CMT. Still, though.
As he waits for True Lies 2 to take shape, Tom Arnold has signed up to star in a new, as-yet-untitled CMT sitcom about a hardware-store-owning dad "seeking the empty nest and his family who is unwilling to let him have it." Arnold will play a "salt-of-the-earth kind of guy, good-hearted, eager-to-please, optimistic, but sometimes overwhelmed by the chaos around him." Seems like a stretch. [Deadline]

The town of Zaprešić will forever be associated with Count Josip Jelačić (1801- 1859), who led the movement for Croatian self-government in 1848 and retreated to his estate near Zaprešić in the years that followed. Jelačić's former palace at Novi Dvori is still undergoing
long-term restoration, but the surrounding park is full of surprises. A half-timbered granary now provides an atmospheric home to the Matija Skurjeni Gallery, honouring the locally born, self-taught artist whose Zaprešić scenes of village life possess a surreal, dream-like quality.
Look out too for the spindly spires of the Jelačić family mausoleum, a Neo-gothic delight designed by the architect of Zagreb cathedral, Hermann Bollé. With plenty of forest paths and a driving range for golfers, Novi Dvori has bags of recreational potential.

Rising above the cornfields just east of Zaprešić, Lužnica Palace is an outstandingly handsome example of an 18th century aristocratic residence, its decorous turrets giving it the appearance of a French chateau.
Owned by a succession of noble families, the palace was in 1925 presented to the Sisters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul, who now use it as a centre for spiritual contemplation and prayer.
The palace's landscaped park has been lovingly restored to its nineteenth-century state, and is open to all-comers on Sunday afternoons. Famous for its stately oak trees, the park is also rich in natural herbs - which are used by the Sisters to make liqueurs.

Located at the foot of green hills beside the burbling Gradna stream, Samobor is one of northern Croatia's best-preserved country towns, and receives a steady stream of day-trippers from Zagreb as a result. Many visitors gravitate towards the caféfilled main square to sink their teeth into Samoborske
kremšnite, the custardcoloured cream pastries made by all the local bakeries. Fans of arts and crafts will find a wealth of things to see in Samobor. The career of one of Croatia's most enjoyable modern artists is celebrated at the Zlatko Prica Gallery. With ground-breaking photography at Foto Galerija Lang, and colourful folk costumes at the Town Museum, there's a lot to take in.
It's the perfect spot for a woodland stroll, too, with paths leading up to the hillside park of Anindol before darting through the forest towards the dramatic ruins of Samobor's 13th-century castle. One of the best times to visit Samobor is during the carnival season, when parades and masked revels light up the town on the weekend preceding Shrove Tuesday.
Source: Archives of Zagreb County Tourist Board
Immediately west of Samobor rise the Samoborsko gorje or "The Samobor Hills", a small group of heavily forested, smooth-topped mountains that make ideal day-trip targets for the recreational hiker. Highest point of the Samoborsko gorje is the 879m Japetić, a 2-hour walk
from Šoićeva kuća, a popular restaurant and recreation spot. Marking the southeastern extent of the range is the steep-sided summit of Okić, crowned by the ruins of one of Croatia's most forbidding medieval fortresses. Lying on the flanks of Okić, the Etno-kuća pod
Okićem ("Ethno-house below Mt Okić"), is a privatelyowned museum displaying traditional furnishings and costumes in a restored village house.

Spread across the southern limbs of the Samoborsko gorje, the straggling village of Plešivica occupies a beautiful landscape of undulating hills ribboned with vineyards. Alongside excellent Pinots, Chardonnays and Rieslings, the area is also renowned for its Portugizac, a fruity red wine that - rather like Beaujolais - is best drunk when young.
The arrival of the new Portugizac in October is a major cause for local celebration. Many of Plešivica's vine-growing families offer the chance to taste their wines, often accompanied by cold cuts of meat and cheese. The Plešivica Wine Roads brochure, available from the Zagreb County Tourist Board, will provide you with all the relevant addresses.

Of the many unspoiled highland regions within day-trip distance of Zagreb, Žumberak is among the most alluring. In many ways an extension of the Samoborsko gorje, the Žumberak consists of a succession of high ridges, narrow valleys and isolated villages filled with corn-
drying barns and piles of chopped firewood. Touring the Žumberak's windy roads, you are far more likely to come across farmers' tractors than family cars. Much of the range falls under the protection of the Žumberak Nature Park, whose headquarters in
the village of Slani Dol, just west of Samobor, can provide information on hiking and mountain-biking opportunities.

Chemical Curiosity
Nicholas Leventis, Professor, Chemistry, Missouri S&T
Nicholas Leventis never imagined where his youthful love of physical science would lead him. "I was ten years old when we went to the moon," he recalls. "All these things started my interest in chemistry and physics." Once inspired by the moon landing, the MS & T Professor of Chemistry went on to work with NASA to develop new technologies such as cross-linked aerogels.
The Research Board has been instrumental in getting my projects going.

Combining Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back with Foucault makes far more sense in German, where the same word – Macht – refers to both 'power' and 'force'. But since Foucault never really distinguished between power and force (unlike Hannah Arendt), we can give this tenuous link a go anyway.
The effects of power, in possibly the most cited aspect of Foucault's work, are not only negative – excluding, repressing, censoring, concealing – but also productive – 'In fact, power produces; it produces reality; it produces domains of objects and rituals of truth. The individual and the knowledge that may be gained of him belong to this production.' (Displine and Punish, 1977 [Vintage edition, 1995, p. 194]). Or, in Yoda's words:
Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hm? Mmmm.
(Luke shakes his head.)
And well you should not. For my ally is the Force. And a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we…
(Yoda pinches Luke's shoulder)
… not this crude matter.
(a sweeping gesture)
You must feel the Force around you.
Here, between you… me… the tree… the rock… everywhere! Yes, even between this land and that ship!
Not only does Yoda refer to the productive effects of the force, but also reminds us of a basic discourse theoretical position that power is relational.
Section starts at 2:20 on the video (after another momentous Yoda quote: "Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try."):

Kristen Stewart Is Bloody Good At Making Out: Snags Two MTV Movie Award Nominations For 'Best Kiss!'
K-Stew was nominated TWICE — for kissing BF Rob Pattinson and BFF Dakota Fanning. But which smooch do YOU think is hotter?
Robert Pattinson is one very lucky guy to be dating Kristen Stewart — not only is the Twilight star cool and beautiful, but apparently she's also an excellent kisser. The 20-year-old starlet is competing against herself with two nominates for 'Best Kiss' at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards — and we're pretty sure we know which one will take the grand prize!
Although Kristen's edgy smooch with bestie Dakota Fanning in The Runaways is fun, it's her passionate kiss with real-life BF R-Patz in The Twilight Saga: New Moon that has us swooning. It's so freaking sexy!
The best thing about the MTV Movie Awards is that YOU get to choose who wins…voting starts today and the show airs Sunday, June 6.

Five things for pharma marketers to know: Friday, January 8, 2016
1. GlaxoSmithKline is the first drugmaker to stop paying outside doctors to promote its drugs. The British company said it will no longer pay doctors anywhere in the world to make presentations on its behalf. The policy came into effect this week after two years of planning. GSK plans to build in-house teams to make presentations rather than use outside doctors. It will also train some of the 1,000 physicians already on staff to add to its roster of speakers. (FT)
2. Roche will pursue FDA regulatory approval of its cancer immuno-oncology drug atezolizumab in people with advanced or metastatic bladder cancer. The drugmaker reported positive results in Phase-II trials for the experimental immunotherapy. The drug received Breakthrough Therapy designation from the FDA in February.
3. Mylan inked a deal with Momenta Pharmaceuticals to develop and manufacture six of Momenta's biosimilar candidates. Mylan will pay Momenta $45 million upfront with an additional $200 million possible in milestone payments. Momenta's Orencia biosimilar—a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis—is one of the experimental drugs in the deal.
4. The cancer death rate continues to drop. The American Cancer Society reported that a combination of factors—including less people smoking and advances in cancer prevention, detection and treatment—have contributed to a 23% drop in the cancer death rate since it peaked in 1991. (American Cancer Society)
5. Walgreens Boots Alliance defended its 20-year distribution deal with Valeant Pharmaceuticals. The holding company said in its earnings call Thursday that the agreement is a model for pharmacy distribution deals and lowers customer costs. (WSJ)

Hello, wkgbn Welcome to SevenForums
Most of the time with a new install if something do not work then its a driver issue. But you should also have a look at volume controls. I know you have done that already so you say you where running xp and then installed seven. Maybe you need to use the xp drivers? Have you ran windows update to see if windows can help find drives for your sound device. Maybe un-install your device from device manager and let windows recognize it again. good luck and hope you enjoy seven.

Good stuff mate, glad I could help. :)
You might want to hang on to that driver for RC, whilst my audio worked straight off with build 7100, it was extremely quiet until I installed that driver.
If you find that your audio isn't quite as loud as you'd like, then I would recommend you grab a copy of 'SRS Audio Sandbox', it really seems to bring out the best from the SoundMax controller. Certainly makes mine louder and sharper.
Unfortunately though it isn't free.
Happy listening!

In mid September Mark and I joined 130 other crazed musicians for 3 days of strumming in Big Sur. The weather was perfect and the scenery was exquisite.
Ah...sweet spoiling! Mark supplied us with fresh cappuccino AND a propane heater to keep us toasty in the bracing morning temps.
On Saturday we could sit in on uke or hula sessions, jam extemporaneously or just relax & enjoy.
Because of fire danger, we couldn't burn the 12 foot tall uke this year...so we burned it in effigy and sacrificed a real uke builder on Sunday morn.
Of course Mark had to take a few glorious bike rides, complete with his IPod Shuffle--you know the one that plugs into his helmet.
When Judy wasn't strumming, she was busy playing the spud and harmonizing.
Of course Jon guarded the campsite.
but poor Spencer didn't appreciate Mom messing with him during an afternoon nap.
Thanks to the Santa Cruz Uke Club for yet another wonderful weekend of fun, frolic, fantastic food and frivolity!

State Rep. Mike Hope, who is running against Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon in the Nov. 8 election, will be in downtown Edmonds Tuesday afternoon raising awareness about his "assault on unemployment throughout Snohomish County" campaign.
"It's important that we remain focused on the main issue facing the voters; creating sustainable jobs that provide economic opportunity for the people of Snohomish County," Hope said.
Hope, who served in the Marine Corps prior to becoming a police officer, said he knows what it takes to create jobs. Prior to serving in the state Legislature, he operated a gym in Monroe while coaching youth sports on the side. Snohomish County's unemployment rate has been higher than the state average, running above neighboring counties while lagging behind on job growth, Hope said.
"Our assault on unemployment begins with my 5-point plan to keep existing jobs while attracting new economic opportunities for communities around the county," Hope said.
Hope says his 5-point plan focuses on:
1. Collaborating Regionally/Competing Globally
2. Reinvesting in the Private Sector
3. Keeping Our Workforce at Home
4. Rooting Out Mismanagement
5. Prioritize Our Educational Efforts
The "Assault on Unemployment" tour will be in downtown Edmonds at 2:30 p.m., ending up at Edmonds City Park, 3rd and Walnut, at 3 p.m.
Speaking of the County Executive's race, we received a tip late last week that Aaron Reardon would be appearing tonight at a fundraiser at the law firm of Karr Tuttle Campbell in downtown Seattle, which happens to be representing the developer in the controversial Point Wells project. (The Town of Woodway and the non-profit community group Save Richmond Beach have filed a lawsuit against Snohomish County and Point Wells developer Blue Square Real Estate (BSRE). The lawsuit seeks to prohibit Snohomish County from continuing to process the developer's application for a mixed-use development at Point Wells.)
Although the 61-acre Point Wells site is in Snohomish County, the only access to it is by a narrow, two-lane road, Richmond Beach Drive, which is in King County. Project opponents contend that traffic from the proposed multiuse village would ruin Shoreline residents' quality of life by clogging the streets.
The Snohomish County Council earlier this year approved the site as an urban center, which opened the door for the site developer to obtain a permit for the project. However, the state's Growth Management Hearing Board (GMHB) in April ruled that urban center designation was not in keeping with the county's own urban center definition, outlined in its Comprehensive Plan, or guided by Growth Management Act goals. The Town of Woodway has also filed a lawsuit against Snohomish County and the developer to stop the project.
In a forum at Edmonds Community College in September, Hope said the proposal clearly violated the Growth Management Act and that if he were County Executive, he wouldn't support the project.
We asked Reardon about whether he viewed his attendance at tonight's Karr Tuttle Campbell fundraiser as a conflict of interest, given the Point Wells issue, and he said it was not, adding his position on the project "was clearly established and was made public long before my campaign for re-election began."
"While I support the general goal of the urban center legislation, the project at Point Wells was too big and the council did not think through the impacts," Reardon said. "Infrastructure is lacking and there was no coordination with the affected communities.
The GMHB made the right decision and I've been very clear that the County Council needs to address the issues raised in a complete manner before proceeding."
Regarding any conflict of interest with tonight's event sponsor, Reardon said that "there are a variety of event co-sponsors with whom I've worked for many years including regional transit advocates, environmentalists, the Cascade Land Conservancy, trial lawyers, hi-tech, broadband communications, aerospace and the arts. Given the numerous co-sponsors of the event and their various affiliations, it shows that as executive, I've been successful at bringing divergent populations together to solve complex challenges and advance good public policy."
"Those who choose to support our campaign know where I stand and they appreciate the fact that I'm honest and upfront," he added. "They recognize that I'm not always going to agree with their position but they also know I don't play politics with public policy."

The Big Bear-area cabin where a suspect believed to be Chris Dorner was barricaded suddenly erupted in flames. It was unclear how the blaze started.

HALF-a-million pounds goes a very long way in Glasgow's Easterhouse – one of the most deprived areas in the whole of western Europe.
It was here that well-connected council official Ronnie Saez was employed to alleviate poverty as chief executive of a regeneration agency.
And it was here yesterday that a chorus of outrage erupted at the revelation that Saez collected an "obscene" £500,000 pay-off of public money from the job.
Money which would have paid for five years of food parcels, holidays for kids and day trips for pensioners.
Instead it was channelled to twice-married Saez, 52, who lives in a £450,000 villa in Paisley's plush Castlehead.
Adding insult to injury, the £500,000 came from funds earmarked for the redevelopment of a school.
Easterhouse campaigner Bob Holman said yesterday: "This is discriminating against the poor."
Bob, who has championed the people of Easterhouse for 25 years, added: "Vital charities are going to the wall because they can't get the grants to keep going.
"This is an obscene amount of money to be paid to one man. It could do so much more in the communities which should have benefited from it."
His colleague, Rosemary Dixon, of Family Action in Rogerfield and Easterhouse, said: "That is an enormous amount of money that would make a serious difference in deprived communities at a time when projects are struggling to get funding."
John Hamilton, project manager of Playbusters, who provide safe play and youth projects across the east end, said £500,000 would keep his project going for 18 months.
Career council official Saez was made redundant in 2011 as boss of the Glasgow East Regeneration Agency, a charity set up by the city council to help relieve poverty.
He was paid a statutory severance payment of around £40,000, pension contributions of around £200,000 and a discretionary top-up of £232,708.
His payout – waved through by Labour councillors – was condemned as "misconduct" by the charity and "wholly unsatisfactory" by Scotland's charity watchdog this week in an unusually strongly-worded report.
It was agreed by five out of eight trustees of the charity, two of whom are still councillors – Labour's Jim Coleman, who was chair of the trustees, and George Redmond. Scottish
Nationalist MSP John Mason has written to the Standards Commission questioning if Redmond and Coleman illegally breached the councillors' code of conduct.
Mason said: "That money should have been helping poorer people, not richer people."
In their report, the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator said: "We consider the actions of the charity trustees constituted misconduct in the administration of the charity."
But they said they were powerless to recoup the money and GERA have now been wound up. Saez said he did not wish to comment yesterday. Since leaving GERA, he has set himself up as a consultant and briefly went into business with former Labour MSP Frank McAveety.
Saez worked for Glasgow City Council for many years before heading GERA.
He is currently a director of nine companies, connected either with regeneration work or his other interest of judo. He is also a director of the Abbey bar in Paisley.
Glasgow City Council said: "The Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator recommended that members undergo training, which we will put in place."
Councillor Coleman said: "I have asked the chief executive to provide training to all councillors who are trustees of a charity and I am happy to take part in that."
