IRVINE, CA--(Marketwired - Aug 12, 2014) - Netlist, Inc. (NASDAQ: NLST), a leading provider of high performance memory solutions for the cloud computing and storage markets, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 28, 2014.
Revenues for the three months ended June 28, 2014, were $4.9 million, compared to revenues of $5.1 million for the second quarter ended June 29, 2013. Gross profit for the three months ended June 28, 2014, was $1.0 million, or 20.0 percent of revenues, compared to a gross profit of $0.2 million, or 4.9 percent of revenues for the second quarter ended June 29, 2013.
The adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) loss was ($2.3) million for the second quarter ended June 28, 2014, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of ($2.0) million for the prior year period.
Net loss for the second quarter ended June 28, 2014, was ($3.5) million, or ($0.08) loss per share, compared to a net loss in the prior year period of ($2.9) million, or ($0.09) loss per share. These results include stock-based compensation expense of $515,000 for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $369,000 for the second quarter of 2013.
Commenting on the results, C.K. Hong, Netlist's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "During the second quarter, we continued to focus on executing our strategic plan. We made significant progress in qualifying our newest NVvault™ product at one of the world's largest hyperscale customers and showcased that product as the industry's best performing NVDIMM running at 2DPC 1600 at the recent Flash Memory Summit. We are also pleased with the progress made in the trade secrets litigation against the ULLtraDIMM product from SanDisk, which it produced in partnership with Diablo, a former contractor to Netlist. In fact, Diablo acknowledged in recent court filings that earlier versions of the ULLtraDIMM did use actual Netlist chips, though they have taken the position that they were allowed to do so -- a position with which we obviously disagree. This admission and the evidence we have reviewed so far supports our assertions in the case and we intend to vigorously pursue every remedy available to us."
Revenues for the six months ended June 28, 2014, were $11.9 million, compared to revenues of $11.0 million for the six months ended June 29, 2013. Gross profit for the six months ended June 28, 2014, was $3.0 million, or 24.9 percent of revenues, compared to a gross profit of $0.8 million, or 7.4 percent of revenues, for the six months ended June 29, 2013.
Net loss for the six months ended June 28, 2014, was ($5.5) million, or ($0.14) loss per share, compared to a net loss in the prior year period of ($6.0) million, or ($0.20) loss per share. These results include stock-based compensation expense of $1,046,000 and $803,000 for the six month periods ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively.
As of June 28, 2014, cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were $17.3 million, total assets were $24.4 million, working capital was $17.4 million, total debt, net of debt discounts, was $5.4 million, and stockholders' equity was $13.6 million.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Certain of the information set forth herein, including EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization), may be considered non-GAAP financial measures. Netlist believes this information is useful to investors because it provides a basis for measuring Netlist's available capital resources, the operating performance of Netlist's business and Netlist's cash flow, excluding net interest expense, provisions for income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and net other expense that would normally be included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). Netlist's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in evaluating Netlist's operating performance, capital resources and cash flow. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and non-financial measures as reported by Netlist may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA loss is a non-GAAP measure in which the net interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and net other expense are added back to the GAAP basis loss. The non-GAAP measures are described above and are reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure in the condensed consolidated financial statements portion of this release under the heading "Unaudited Schedule Reconciling GAAP Net Loss to Non-GAAP EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA."

We look forward to working with the HealthTronics team to help urologic surgeons improve sexual function and urinary continence outcomes following prostatectomy by reducing the inadvertent nerve damage.
Austin, Texas (PRWEB) January 08, 2014
ProPep Surgical, a privately held, Austin-based medical device company developing intraoperative nerve monitoring technologies for laparoscopic and robotic-assisted prostate cancer surgery, announced today it signed an agreement with a subsidiary of HealthTronics, Inc., a leading national provider of urological products and services, to sell the ProPep Nerve Monitoring System within the United States.
"We are very pleased to collaborate with HealthTronics," stated Jim Schneider, Chief Operating Officer of ProPep Surgical." HealthTronics is an industry leader in supplying urologists with the specialized technologies needed to provide high quality care to patients. We look forward to working with the HealthTronics team to help urologic surgeons improve sexual function and urinary continence outcomes following prostatectomy by reducing the inadvertent nerve damage commonly recognized as one of the primary causes of these side effects."
Kelly Huang, President of HealthTronics also commented, "HealthTronics is pleased to be able to add the ProPep technology alongside our other urologic offerings including our Endocare® Cryotherapy product line. We've worked together with urologists for more than 20 years to find products and services that are designed to improve patient care and we believe that through our collaboration with ProPep we will enhance our portfolio of offerings for our Urology customers."
Indications for Use
The ProPep Nerve Monitoring System is an electroneurodiagnostic device that measures and displays muscle activity for electromyography (EMG) applications during robotic and laparoscopic prostatectomies.
This device is designed as an adjunct to the current open or laparoscopic prostatectomy in which a nerve location technique is used. It is not designed to replace the surgeon's expertise in the location of nerves of the pelvic region. Each surgeon's skill determines whether these nerves are spared regardless of any aid.
The Pep Electrode Introducer is indicated for use to provide temporary percutaneous placement of EMG monopolar needle electrodes during minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures.
About ProPep Surgical, LLC
Established in 2010, ProPep Surgical is a privately-held, Austin-based medical device company developing a system of products (ProPep Nerve Monitoring System) to aid laparoscopic and robotic surgeons in identifying the location of and monitoring the integrity of otherwise invisible nerves during minimally invasive pelvic surgery. Real time identification of these nerves allows surgeons to make more informed decisions about which tissue to selectively preserve or remove during surgery and as a result, potentially reduces the common side effects typically attributed to inadvertent nerve damage during these procedures.
About HealthTronics, Inc.
HealthTronics has been a national provider of urological and interventional oncology services and products for more than 20 years. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, the company provides the most advanced technology and premiere support systems to urologists, interventional radiologists, hospitals, surgery centers and clinics across the United States. HealthTronics is an operating company of Endo Health Solutions Inc., a specialty healthcare company with four distinct business segments focused on branded and generic pharmaceuticals, devices and services, each providing quality products to customers intended to improve the lives of patients.

And none of your questions are worth worrying about, IMHO.Bill ----------------They might not be questions worth worrying about to you, but they are still legitimate questions. It's important to know what a Christian thinks about his/her god. If you can't describe your own god, how can you expect anyone else to ever believe in such a "being"?You, apparently, believe this god to have a gender.Since we can't see this god it's important to know exactly how you know this - and what that gender means. Unlike a ship, which we already know doesn't have gender, gender in a god would be important.You also, apparently, believe this god to be omnipotent.If "he" can do anything, then making a square circle shouldn't be very difficult. Or, we could go back to the other - and I think better - question: Can your god make a stone so big that even "he" cannot lift it?Do you actually have a good idea of your god in your mind?And if you do, why are these questions considered rude? Or difficult?I've never yet met a Christian (or anyone else) who actually knows what they mean by "God". Not a single person has ever been able to tell me.I was once asked by a believer that old question: "Don't you believe in God?" And I responded, "What do you mean by 'God'?" He simply closed his mouth and I could see his mind swirling - but he had no answer. He simply didn't know what he meant by "God."If they don't know, how can they be so certain in their beliefs? This is the puzzle to me. If that is rude, I apologize.But my questions are legitimate - even more legitimate because they are asked of an omnipotent "god" who, supposedly, can do anything - yet people are tortured and starve and die horrible deaths. Even those who pray to "him." How is this different from no god at all?How?AM

Literacy and numeracy tests toughened for new teachers
Students will not be allowed to enter teacher training in England if they fail basic numeracy and literacy tests three times, under tougher rules to raise teaching standards.
At present students are allowed to take unlimited re-sits while they train.
The Department for Education said one in 10 trainees takes the numeracy test more than three times, while the figure is one in 14 for the literacy test.
The National Union of Teachers said it considered the tests "superfluous".
The aim is to improve the standard of students entering teaching.
From September 2012, candidates will have to pass the assessments before they are permitted to begin their training courses.
The tests are the same for both primary and secondary school teacher trainees, who must also have achieved a grade C or above in GCSE maths and English.
'Toughening up'
The numeracy tests cover reading graphs and tables, as well as mental arithmetic questions including percentages and fractions.
Grammar, punctuation, spelling and comprehension are covered in the literacy tests.
The government is expected to publish details on Monday of changes to teacher training.
Education Secretary Michael Gove said the proposals would "emphasise our commitment to boosting the status of the profession by toughening up the recruitment process and ensuring that all new teachers have a real depth of knowledge in their subject".
But the NUT said candidates who needed several resits to pass the tests were dyslexic, had English as an additional language, or were less familiar with the on-line testing system.
"The NUT has always argued that the entry requirements for initial teacher education, which include GCSE passes grade C or above in English and maths, should be sufficient and make the additional skills tests superfluous," said General Secretary Christine Blower.
The National Association of Head Teachers said it was right to have "demanding expectations" of recruits to the profession.
But the union's general secretary, Russell Hobby, said: "We should not fall into the trap of thinking, however, that academic excellence necessarily makes someone a great teacher. We want smart people, but we also want visionary, caring, energetic, creative and thoughtful people."
And he warned that pay levels and cuts to pensions were deterrents to new entrants.
The Department for Education has already said that training bursaries, available for sciences, maths and languages, will only be available for candidates who have a 2.2 degree or above.
It also plans to develop a network of "teaching schools", which will focus on training teachers, in conjunction with universities, as well as professional development for more experienced staff.
The first 100 are due to launch in September 2011, with another 400 expected in the following three years, the DfE said.

EN Corlett Joint-Chairman - COPED, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, UK The contributions offered to this Third National Conference demonstrate that research in production is very much alive. The considerable numbers of papers on robotics, automation and flexible manufacturing systems, together with those in production control and quality matters, demonstrate that there is much work going on in our colleges, polytechnics and universities related to modern methods of manufacture. The future of manufacture undoubtedly hinges on better control. Control over the supply and movement of materials is now keenly sought. Control over manufacturing equipment is also a goal, not just to maintain quality but to give flexibility in sequence and quantity. None of these objectives for improved performance is entirely a technical matter, although there is an increasing technical ability to influence all of them. To achieve their potential, they depend on competent people at all levels. Discussion with alert managers soon reveals that this is one of their major concerns. Either the people they have require more training, or they cannot hire the people with the abilities they need. This applies at all levels, and the availability of people with competence in manufacture is particularly low.Space restrictions confine us to only discussing two techniques of SSADM : Data Flow Diagrams and Logical Data ... It is therefore possible to pass from a high level of abstraction to a detailed description by inspection of lower level diagrams .

Forget the moonlight.
I never thought I would be here into the night, my sight is failing fast.
There's something coming now,
I can hear the footsteps pound as my heart is racing, time is running out.
Don't bury the truth, it'll only get you down and out the hard way.
Don't say I didn't warn you, cause tonight might be the last chance to walk
I wanted to get out to pretend I was changed for the best,
As I lied through my teeth.
And I was waiting, I had things on my mind I don't need.
When it was over, I was falling down,
Turned around, I looked the same but I felt the part.
Sand was slipping through the cracks
I pulled myself from the ground and came inside.
The hours passed, moments started fading.
The only thing I could do was try to get away.
Lyrics taken from http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/belle_epoque/lying_through_teeth.html

Faith and a Life Jacket: 7 Truths for your Eternal Mission
by Ben Bernards
Pub Date: September 1, 2016
I have not served an LDS mission. My plan is to serve one day with my spouse. (I have yet to find a spouse, so waiting on the Lord for that one.) But I do appreciate these kinds of "mission prep" books for their simple and down-to-earth stories and advice that are at a young person's level. And if you have a future missionary in your life, this would make an excellent stocking stuffer (if you're like me and already making up Christmas shopping lists!).
"Sooner or later, the fires of Anticipation will dim, the thrill of the Unexpected and New will fade. Discouragement and doubt will entice you to give up and walk away from it all. That's when you'll face the Decision Point—the moment where you get to choose how you will respond to your challenges: rising up to them and pressing forward with faith, or remaining disengaged and frustrated."
The author frames his "7 truths" around his personal mission experiences. Why this man's story has not been made into a film already is beyond me. He served in Fiji, for starters, and spent part of that time living in a hut in a village, where he and his companion would have to hunt and cook their own food, and ran into a few occasions when their lives were very literally in danger. And at one point his mission president sanctioned a missionary band! Missions aren't always going to be that drama-filled, but I love the way the author demonstrates how these kinda crazy experiences showed the Lord's hand, and how a young person can learn simple lessons from them that can be applied to their own experiences and lives, even after the mission.
What makes this book even better for me is how universal it ultimately is. I'm not preparing to go on a mission like the intended audience, but I can use the excellent advice the author offers and expounds on in my everyday life (and maybe one day I'll get to apply it to a full-time mission). While I'm guessing none of this advice is particularly new or earth-shattering for the average reader (you've heard it all in General Conference over the years), it is presented in a way that is fun to read, and easy to digest. It's not written in a "dumbed down" way that really bothers me with many books aimed at the youth, but in a way that is more at their level, and assumes they want to be treated as an adult. And even those of us not preparing to serve a full-time mission, or already have, can gain some insights – both practical and spiritual – from this relatively light read of a book. I think all of at, at various times in our lives, could use a little help building up our "mental arsenal," as the author calls it, to keep the Spirit of the gospel burning bright.
Give this easily-digestible book a try. It's a nice little companion for some personal scripture study, prep for a teen getting ready to serve a mission, or anyone who just needs a light church-centered read to get them through the week.

About New Kids on the Block
Starr, known for his discovery and guidance of New Edition, first found Wahlberg who helped recruit his younger brother Mark, along with Wood and Jordan Knight. Jordan brought his brother Jonathan in on the deal, too. Mark dropped out and was eventually replaced by McIntyre.
In 1986, the boys released their eponymous debut through Columbia Records and it proceeded to fail miserably. Despite the lack of sales, Starr asked for a second shot.
Not entirely pleased with the bubblegum image and sound they had going out of the gate, Donnie, Danny, and Jordan pushed to have more input. The first single from Hangin' Tough, "Please Don't Go Girl," didn't do so well and the label was on the verge of dropping the band when a radio station in Florida starting spinning the track. With a bit of effort, the song cracked Billboard's Top 10.
Showcasing their visual appeal on national TV and as a support act for teen idol Tiffany helped NKOTB gain some momentum and sales. The next two singles, "You Got It (The Right Stuff)" and "I'll Be Loving You (Forever)," each made ever-increasing strides, with the latter topping the charts. Five top 10 hits later, the album had gone eight-times platinum and won two American Music Awards.
The success of Hangin' Tough even helped catalyze sales of the NKOTB debut release, including the song "Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time)." A Christmas album and home video followed.
May of 1990 saw the next NKOTB release, Step by Step. The title tracked shot up the charts and became their best-selling single. "Tonight" came next and pushed their consecutive top 10 singles run to nine. The record went on to sell more than 20 million copies worldwide.
In 1992, the group faced down allegations of lip-synching with a live performance on The Arsenio Hall Show. Nevertheless, the backlash had begun and fickle fans were finding their way to grunge rock and gangsta rap.
A year later, New Kids parted ways with Starr and began work on what would become their fourth release, 1994's Face the Music. Although the record met with some critical praise, sales were lackluster.
While on tour, Jonathan Knight, suffering panic attacks and anxiety, left the band. The remaining members eventually decided to call it quits, too.
During subsequent years, numerous attempts to reunite the band fell short. However, in 2007, the NKOTB quietly came together to work on their first album together in 15 years, 2008's The Block. The album climbed all the way to number two on the Billboard album charts and their 2009 concert itinerary was so successful they are at it again this year.
Band member Donnie Wahlberg said of their latest rejuvenation, "We've let our fans dictate this whole ride. They've been the ones to guide us through this whole journey. They want more, we'll give them more, and we'll enjoy every moment along the way."

Apple iPhone Most Shipped Smartphone in World, Big Hit in China
Apple's iPhone is the most shipped smartphone in the world, according to Strategy Analytics.
Global smartphone shipments grew to a record 110 million units in second quarter 2011. Apple is the biggest player with 20.3 million units shipped, or 18 percent of the total shipments.
Samsung is second with 19.2 million units and Nokia, previously the market leader and the first to ship 100 million units per year, dropped to third with only 16.7 million units.
"Apple's growth remained strong as it expanded distribution worldwide, particularly in China and Asia," noted Alex Spektor, Senior Analyst at Strategy Analytics.
A separated report from International Data Corporation (IDC) stated that "Apple thrived in China thanks to strong iPhone 4 demand."
IDC also asserted that Apple is easily the fastest growing top five phone maker in the world even though its flagship iPhone 4 is more than a year old.
For the entire mobile phone market (which includes low-tech feature phones), Apple is ranked fourth behind Nokia, Samsung, and LG Electronics, according to IDC.
A recent report from Nielsen showed that the iPhone is the most popular U.S. smartphone and the iOS is the second most popular U.S. smartphone OS after Google's Android.
The love of Apple products goes beyond numbers and statistics. Anecdotal stories of fans waiting overnight in lines and spending all their savings on iPhones are common.
The most extreme "Apple fanboyism" stories, however, arguably come from China. For example, one Chinese teenager recently sold his kidney to buy an iPad and iPhone, according to Reuters.

Note: MSU's programs in the biological sciences are distributed across multiple departments. MSU does not have a single Department of Biology. For additional options see Biological Sciences at MSU.
Department of Ecology
The Department of Ecology offers a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences which emphasizes a solid grounding in biology and the fundamental sciences, and which allows students to specialize within four options: Organismal Biology, Fish and Wildlife Ecology and Management, Conservation Biology and Ecology, and Biology Teaching. Organismal Biology emphasizes the basic sciences of zoology and botany; Fish and Wildlife Ecology and Management and Conservation Biology and Ecology emphasize the application of knowledge to the conservation of the biota and natural resources; Biology Teaching prepares students for career as a high school biology teacher.
Many positions for professional biologists require a graduate degree. The degree options are intended to provide the solid knowledge and skills required of all college graduates as well as the prerequisite educational background for graduate programs.
Students interested in secondary school biology teaching and Montana state certification must fulfill the Biology Teaching option which includes professional education courses as well as a solid biology and basic science core; a teaching minor or second area of certification is recommended.
Requirements for Admission to Upper Division Courses in Biology
For admission to upper division (numbered 300 or higher) Biology (BIOB, BIOE, BIOO) and Fish and Wildlife Management (WILD) courses, students must have completed at least 45 total university credits with a cumulative GPA of at least 2.5 for all courses and have also earned a "C-"or better for any prerequisite courses. Limited exceptions may be made by consent of instructor. Any student who obtains enrollment in an upper division biology course without satisfying these requirements will be required to withdraw from the course.
Grade Requirements
To graduate with a B.S. in Biological Sciences, students must earn a grade of "C-" or better for every course required for the specific option (Conservation Biology and Ecology, Fish and Wildlife Ecology and Management, Organismal Biology, and Biology Teaching), including courses taken to fulfill required biology elective credits, all required courses in non-biology rubrics, and all upper division courses.
Undergraduate Programs
All students will earn a B.S. in Biological Sciences with at least one of the following options or concentrations to be completed.
- Biology Teaching
- Conservation Biology and Ecology
- Fish and Wildlife Ecology and Management
- Organismal Biology
Undergraduate Minors
The graduate degree programs offered in the Department of Ecology provide opportunities for students to pursue M.S. and/or Ph.D. degrees in various disciplines under the guidance of faculty. Graduate students may conduct research on a diversity of topics pertaining to their individual areas of interest: terrestrial and aquatic ecology, fish and wildlife management, evolutionary biology, quantitative ecology, and conservation biology. Both Master's and Ph.D. degrees require a thesis or dissertation and a research publication.

"Religion is stupid, peoples not". I disagree
"Religion is stupid, peoples not". I disagree
My first post, be nice ni-san. English is my third language so please dont criticize too much on my grammer
This is in the FAQ section, and what the thinking atheist believe right?
I disagree, I think the statement is exactly opposite - People is stupid, religion is not.
We are primate, primate in nature tends to live in groups, and in order to have cooperating system, a leader is always essential. His job is give orders for the group to function - Female look after young, male go hunt. etc. In nature, the leader also takes the role of responsibility, and prove he is worthy to be the leader. If the leader become old, he will be suspended by his crew as that he can no longer take responsibility.
In human world, its not
As a leader in a group of homo-sapiens. Intelligence is essential (do not question about Kim Jon Il, he just look retarded bt hes actually very smart), as that we tends to out-wit our opponent rather than fight with fist (you heard than Martin SSempa). The homo-sapien leaders came up with a smart idea to make his people follow them - manipulation. Instead of showing our muscle and grins, homo-sapien leaders prefer to directly manipulate the brain of their people, through many things - Speech (Obama I need some change for bus), False hope (Communism), use of common ideas (Hitler, use the common hatred of the people), feeling of security (rich leader showing off money and military power), and last of all - Religion.
Religion to me - is a way of brainwashing someone, and make them to follow your step without any reason. Any creator of religion, and anyone who is able to manipulate people with religion is certainly NOT STUPID, it is already the use of higher intelligence among commoners. Therefore, religion on itself is not a stupid thing, its a powerful weapon that attacks human mind and can only be used by some very intelligent people(maybe except Martin SSempa, or is he just faking hes retarded so he can fit in with his people? )
This would make the believers - the victim, of less intelligence. Now, im not saying ALL common religious believers were dumb, but I am saying that they have not realize they been manipulated. To realize something is not entirely based on intelligence, but been intelligent can help you realize things faster.
So, if you believe in God, and help to chip in some penny to your sunday donation tray, or vote someone simply because he believe the same God, or stone some homosexuals because your God dont like them but yourself have nothing against them in person
- THEN YOU HAVE BEEN MANIPULATED BY AN ANCIENT PSYCHOLOGICAL WEAPON CALLED - RELIGION! (or pimping sometimes)
Religion is traps of mind, you have to be more stupid than the person who set them up - Adults are smarter than children, in order to manipulate their children (dont lie to mummy to make mummy's life easier, dont steal from daddy so daddy will always have money for his booze, dont masturbate so our maid dont have to wash your dirty pants all the time and save that time for blowjob on daddy), they set up "religion" in their mind. As the children grow up, some become more intelligent than their parents, break free the shackle of religion, and no longer be manipulated as that they are now smarter. Some, however, followed their parents, having the religion trapped in their mind in their head forever, and one day, teach their children the same thing, and for the same thing too perhaps?)
This reach to my conclusion - in order to be manipulate someone's brain, you have to be smarter than the target. Having them blindly follow your words and trick them into the trap. Some falls into the trap for some various reason, urges, lack of consideration, or simply thirsty begging for water or the missionary will let you die, or my friend who started going to Church so he can get his hand into the pants of a girl he likes. No matter what the reason - you fall for Religion. However, most people tend to break free of it as that their intelligence made them realize they have been manipulated and is not conformable with some church dude telling you what to do because some mystery bloke told him so.
and, for those who are just generally less intelligent, they never realized it, and they are not stupid?
PS - this applies to an open environment where there is a choice. eg. USA. The reason why most Arabs were religious is not because they are dumb, but they simply cannot realize due to the enviroment as that they never seen the alternative option.
My conclusion - Are religion stupid?
No - Religion cannot be measured by intelligence. The believers, however, can.
The ones who follow God for a clear, rational reason, are intelligent, the ones who follow God for no reason, or simply been told so - are not
I hope I made myself clear?
RE: "Religion is stupid, peoples not". I disagree
I think you've got some very good points, though I might disagree that the religion itself isn't stupid. The founders might be of some intelligence in order to use it to manipulate the people, but some very stupid beliefs are part of religious doctrine (worldwide flood, creationism, etc). To me, this indicates that the creators are more charismatic and power hungry than they are intelligent.
Better without God, and happier too.

Quote:The ones who follow God for a clear, rational reason, are intelligent, the ones who follow God for no reason, or simply been told so - are not
I disagree with you Religion has put thousands of years of effort into making a maze of logic and ideas which is *very hard* to disentangle yourself from. Sure, you can fall into a trap, but if you are born and grow up in a cage, to find the way out is much harder. Plenty of religious people I know, including my best friend, are extremely intelligent. I have argued for years with him back and forth, why does he accept this when to me it is an obvious lie, and every time he comes back with some answer... his way of thinking is just so different that I cannot connect. But independently, he's a very good engineer. So I know he's got the brains - it's just he uses them differently.

Agreed. Many of the religious people I know are not stupid. People often have the false sense that they are in complete control of their minds, when in reality minds can be manipulated the same way anything else can.

Abstract: GP9.00096 : Near-Real-Time 3-D Reconstructions of FRC Plasmas
Preview Abstract Abstract
Jon Douglass
(Tri Alpha Energy, Inc. and the TAE Team)
Results from the C-2 experiment at Tri Alpha Energy, Inc. have demonstrated that the plasmas found in merging FRC experiments are not always nicely behaved, thus making simplistic analysis techniques inappropriate. A new method has been developed that treats the reconstruction process as the optimization of a parametric model. In our case C-2 plasmas are approximated by a 14-parameter model; the Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used to perform optimizations of this model constrained primarily by bolometer data, and typically converges in just a few seconds, i.e. near-real-time 3-D reconstructions. The specific details of this novel approach to the realistic analysis of FRC plasmas will be the primary focus of this presentation along with a few results from its application to the C-2 experiment.

With the pressures of state testing, bullying, social media and changes going on in the home, many children are experiencing high levels of stress and anxiety. Anxiety disorders affect one of every eight children per the Anxiety and Depression Association of America. The Child Mind Institute says that early anxiety leads to psychiatric disorders later in life such as panic attacks, depression, social phobias and suicidality. To prevent your child from developing an anxiety disorder, take the time to teach her tools that she can use every day to help her deal with those moments she is feeling anxious or worried about a future event.

BRIDGETON (KTVI) - The EPA will screen for radiation at Bridgeton Municipal Athletic Complex. This is all over concerns about contamination for the Westlake and Bridgeton landfills.
This move by the EPA comes after residents in this area got an independent screening done that showed a spike in radioactive material.
The Westlake and Bridgeton landfills have been sources of concern for quite some time, specifically, the radioactive waste and an underground fire at the sites. And the horrible smell in the area recently pushed the current owners to settle a multi-million dollar civil lawsuit with residents.
At noon Friday, the mayor of Bridgeton and the EPA will hold a news conference at city hall to release details about the screening. The hope is that the testing will ease public concern, which may be at an all-time high.

Fly-tipping fear after clampdown at Bristol recycling centres
Restrictions at recycling sites in Bristol will lead to an increase in fly-tipping, opposition politicians have claimed.
People using centres at St Phillips and Avonmouth must now prove they live in the city and face weekly waste limits.
Conservative Chris Windows questioned where the displaced waste would end up.
The ruling Liberal Democrats said the changes will reduce congestion at the sites and bring them in line with neighbouring authorities.
Councillor Gary Hopkins (Lib Dem), who is responsible for waste services, said Bristol residents had been stopped from using the adjacent recycling centres.
He said: "What had been a free exchange had become a one-way street and we've had to stop that - it was much easier when we had the two-way traffic but that's been stopped.
"We've also had commercial builders who have their own facilities but instead of using those some have been trying to smuggle waste in through the free service provided for domestic customers."
Mr Windows, who represents Henbury and Brentry, said a blanket ban on letting people outside the city use the tips, is too heavy-handed.
"Cross border fly-tipping is already taking place and it is going to get worse," he said.
"The council is supposed to be on the side of the people and I'm afraid this doesn't look this way."
He added: "Where does Gary [Hopkins] think this waste is going to end up if it is not going to a recycling centre?"

Smaller Surface tablet coming soon?
Microsoft developing a smaller 7in Surface tablet, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The US media outlet has published a report today suggesting Microsoft's new range of Surface tablets which will include a 7in model.
This smaller tablet will compete with Apple's iPad mini and the Google Nexus 7. It is expected to go into mass production later this year and will compete directly with Apple's iPad mini and the popular Google Nexus 7 tablet.
The 7in Surface tablet is likely to have a display with a resolution of 1024x768. Earlier this week, Microsoft lowered its minimal screen resolution requirement for Windows 8 certification from 1366x768 to 1024x768 pixels, effectively allowing Windows 8 tablets with smaller screens.
While not revealing any sources for the news besides "people familiar with the company's plans", The Wall Street Journal claims Microsoft has realised it needs a Surface product to compete with smaller tablet devices running rival platforms.
The report claims that 7in tablets weren't part of the Microsoft's strategy last year, but management executives recently realised the rising popularity of smaller tablets.

DENVER (Reuters) - A trio of wind-driven wildfires roared unchecked across 76,000 acres of national forest in southwest Colorado on Monday and firefighters held the line against flames threatening the mountain town of South Fork.
Crews have been hampered in battling the West Fork Complex fires - which consist of three separate blazes - by the steep mountainous terrain and winds in excess of 50 miles an hour (80 km/h) on some ridgelines.
South Fork, the town of 600 residents evacuated last week as flames crept to within a few miles of the community, is located 170 miles southwest of Denver.
The three lightning-sparked fires have scorched a 119-square-mile (308 square km) swath through the San Juan and Rio Grande national forests.
For the fifth straight day, the National Weather Service has issued a red-flag warning for the burn area, citing extreme fire danger due to high winds, hot temperatures and low humidity.
"You will not see significant gains until we get some help from the weather," incident commander Pete Blume of the U.S. Forest Service told reporters on Monday.
Crews have cut lines with bulldozers around South Fork and so far no structures have been lost, Blume said, adding that there is no timetable for when residents can return home.
A smoke plume from the fires, which are being fueled by large stands of dry, beetle-killed timber, has billowed 30,000 feet into the air, leaving a smoky haze over much of southern Colorado.
Nearly 900 firefighters are battling the blaze from the ground and air.
Further east in Huerfano County, fire officials said they have 15 percent containment on a separate wildfire that has charred 13,000 acres.
The so-called East Peak Fire, burning 10 miles southwest of the town of Walsenburg, has destroyed 14 homes and outbuildings, according to a statement from the Rocky Mountain Incident Team.

For internet users who hunger for a more community-oriented, group-hug-type experience, we're happy to point a finger at Zaadz.

Sheen's Korner Is Not a Winner
Charlie Sheen's live broadcast was a disappointment.
More than 113,000 people tuned in to the debut of Sheen's Korner, Charlie Sheen's live TV show on UStream, last night, with high expectations, but around 50,000 of those viewers got bored. The show started out promising: Simon Rex, who once dated Paris Hilton and other accolades, appeared, sitting on Charlie Sheen's couch like he'd been sitting there for decades. One of Sheen's girlfriends was also in attendance. In a moment of vague self-awareness, Sheen made a direct reference to the movie Network, telling viewers to stick their heads out the window and say, "Winning!" But the show trudged along with no direction and surprisingly few bizarre quips. Fans on Twitter called it "pointless and sad," and The Hollywood Reporter dubbed it "cable access at its worst." Even Sheen got down on himself about it today: "Fastball; last night was treasonous to the movement. my bad. a video solution coming soon. #SheensKornerless," he tweeted. Uh-oh. Losing! [HR, NYDN]

Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
The academic program at Saint Anne School is rigorous and challenging to all students, each with unique gifts and varying abilities. Our program targets the needs of the individual learner and, as a result, our students consistently score higher than the Anticipated Scores determined through ability testing. Our faculty has also been aggressively incorporating STREAM (Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Art, Math) initiatives into every aspect of our curriculum. Additionally, our 5th through 8th grade students are provided with Chromebooks, there are Kindles for our Kindergarten through 4th graders, and we offer a variety of sports programs and extracurricular opportunities. When our students leave Saint Anne School they attend as many as seven different high schools and they are well-prepared. Another strength of Saint Anne School is the diversity of its student body, where students of differing cultural and demographic backgrounds unite together in a common purpose. We draw children from all walks of life and all economic backgrounds. We accommodate all of those differences and they are appreciated.

UFX Bank – a complete scam?
UFX Bank is a pretty big and well known forex broker that got some bad publicity within the last few years. There are several reasons why UFX Bank is not considered to be a reliable forex broker. Right now, there are now lawsuits against UFX Bank or something similar but there are some very serious complaints against UFX Bank.
The Internet offers plenty of opportunities for traders to tell the community what they think about certain forex broker or other offers. This is absolutely ok. But it's not ok if a company writes positive reviews about itself. That's what UFX Bank did. They said that it's the fault of a blackhat SEO company that worked on the search engine optimization of UFX Bank and used these methods. You have to ask yourself: what serious forex broker hires a company like that and gives them even access to sensitive information? How safe can your personal information be with UFX Bank?
Another problem is that it seems UFX Bank is not registered at the NFA. The NFA number that UFX Bank claims to be theirs does not exist in the NFA database. This is not a good sign.
Experiences with UFX Bank
Let's take a look what real traders have to say about UFX Bank. As it's proven that UFX Bank did fake some positive reviews, we can't take positive reviews that don't find anything negative too seriously.
I wanted to close my UFX Bank account and have been called from different persons in a short period of time. They all wanted me to keep trading and wanted me to make at least one last transaction. They have been so annoying and I was so pissed that I agreed that I'd open one last silver position. The account manager put my whole bankroll at stake and I lost it all. That's not what I wanted but they were happy now because I lost everything. To me, UFX is nothing but scam.
My account manager always told me to open positions that are way too risky. I believed him and now all my money is gone. I think abouting suing them.
I have problems with my withdrawal. Maybe it's due to the fact that I asked them to close my account simultaneously. UFX does not want to lose costumers and they try to keep you as badly as they can. This says it all about this broker.
UFX is a scam. Don't use them and trade with a broker that is regulated by the NFA.
Withdrawals at UFX bank don't work. I complained and now they seem to work smoothly.

Anyone riding the subway yesterday might have seen people juggling marathon maps and subway maps, and rushing off the train with cowbells jingling.
Glimpsing one of 45,000 runners in the ING Direct NYC Marathon meant spectators had to dash from subway entrance to marathon edge, often staying only minutes to scream support before again jumping back on the train.
Karen Mullen traveled from Omaha to support her 28-year-old daughter in the race. She woke up at 7:30 a.m. to get to Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn and find her in the crowd running down Fourth Avenue.
Beating her daughter there was a logistical battle. First, Mullen jumped on a PATH train into Lower Manhattan. Then, she and her husband hunted down the 4 train, all while timing their Atlantic Avenue arrival to 45 minutes after their daughter began the race at 10:10 a.m. in Staten Island.
Mullen was prepared with her phone to keep tabs on her daughter. But she cut the interview short to rush upstairs to Fourth Avenue. Next up? Catching the 6 to 103rd Street for the race's Manhattan leg.
"We've got all of the routes," she said.
Winner's corner
First-time marathoner Gebra Gebremariam of Ethiopia took first place, winning in 2:08:14, an average of 4:54 per mile.
Kenyan Emmanuel Mutai captured second in 2:09:18 and Kenyan Moses Kigen Kipkosgei took third with 2:10:39. Last year's winner, American Meb Keflezighi, finished sixth with 2:11:38, slightly more than three minutes after first place.
Kenya's Edna Kiplagat took first with 2:28:20.
American Shalane Flanagan finished 20 seconds behind, winning second place in her marathon debut.
Kenyan Mary Keitany, also a first-time marathoner, took third in 2:29:01.
In the wheelchair division, Great Britain's David Weir won in 1:37:29. American Dane Pilon triumphed in the handcycle division, with 1:21:23.

"I want" - If I want then I'm generally going to get. If I fancy something then that is all I can think about and I am more than likely to put it into my shopping basket and ultimately shove it in my face!
"They have" - If someone is eating something, even if its not an "I want" derailer it will quickly become one. Some is eating McDonalds - I get genuinely annoyed that I am not. I have a serious case of food envy.
Costa Coffee - Two people from work had Costa last week on consecutive days and I turned it down twice!! Piri-piri chicken panini, chocolate brownie and a hot chocolate - get in my face!! (Yes all in one sitting - don't judge me)
Carbs - A meal is not a meal without a minimum of one carbohydrate and can be made better by adding additional carbs. I am a carb junkie!
Gym Hunger - Exercise makes me really hungry i.e. if someone handed me a burger after half an hour on the treadmill, I would probably bite their hand off.
But the weight is steadily coming off and I'm still excited and motivated. Sometimes I cheat but then that's life

If You are accepting these Terms of Use on behalf of Your employer, You represent and warrant that You have full legal authority to bind Your employer to these Terms of Use. If You do not have the requisite authority, You may not accept these Terms of Use or use the Store or any Products on behalf of Your employer.
These Terms of Use, together with any additional terms provided to You by HTC when using the Store ("Additional Terms"), each which may be amended from time to time, are a legal agreement between you, an individual or entity ("You" and "Your"), and HTC Corporation, or based on where You live one of its affiliates ("HTC"), that governs Your access to and use of the Store. Your continued access to or use of the Store following the posting of revised terms means that You accept and agree to any revised terms. You are expected to check this page each time You access or use the Store so that You are aware of any changes, as they are binding on You. If there is a conflict between these Terms of Use and the Additional Terms, the Additional Terms will govern.
IF YOU reside IN NORTH OR SOUTH AMERICA PLEASE READ THIS SECTION 27(A) CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH HTC AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM HTC.
Binding Arbitration. If You use reside in North or South America, then, except for disputes in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court, You and HTC agree (i) to waive Your and HTC's respective rights to have any and all disputes or claims arising from or related to these Terms of Use or the use or performance of the Store, any Product(s) available within, or any Paid Points, or Reward Points (collectively, "Disputes") resolved in a court, and (ii) to waive Your and HTC's respective rights to a jury trial. Instead, You and HTC agree to arbitrate Disputes through binding arbitration (which is the referral of a Dispute to one or more persons charged with reviewing the Dispute and making a final and binding determination to resolve it instead of having the Dispute decided by a judge or jury in court).
No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions or Representative Actions. You and HTC agree that any Dispute arising out of or related to these Terms of Use, is personal to You and HTC and that such Dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action, or any other type of representative proceeding. You and HTC agree that there will be no class arbitration or arbitration in which an individual attempts to resolve a Dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals. Further, You and HTC agree that a Dispute cannot be brought as a class or other type of representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other individual or group of individuals.
Notice; Informal Dispute Resolution. You and HTC agree that each party will notify the other party in writing of any arbitrable or small claims Dispute not less than thirty (30) days of the date it arises, so that the parties can attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute informally. Notice to HTC shall be sent to HTC Arbitration Program Administrator, 308 Occidental Avenue South, Suite 300, Seattle, WA 98104. Your notice must include (a) Your name, postal address, telephone number, the email address You use or used for Your HTC Account or, if different, an email address at which You can be contacted, (b) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute, and (c) the specific relief that You are seeking. Our notice to You will be sent electronically to the email address You use or used for Your HTC Account, where available, and will include (a) our name, postal address, telephone number and an email address at which we can be contacted with respect to the Dispute, (b) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute, and (c) the specific relief that we are seeking. If You and HTC cannot agree how to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after the date notice is received by the applicable party, then either You or HTC may, as appropriate and in accordance with these Terms of Use, commence an arbitration proceeding or, to the extent specifically provided for above, file a claim in small claims court.
Process. You and HTC agree that the arbitration shall be according to the American Arbitration Association Commercial Arbitration Rules applicable to consumer disputes (the "AAA Rules"), except insofar as those rules would be inconsistent with any part of these Terms of Use, including without limitation the agreement to arbitrate. For claims of $5,000 or less, You may decide whether You would prefer to have the arbitration decided based only on documents submitted to the arbitrator, or by a hearing in person or by phone. The arbitration shall be held in King County, Washington and the state and federal courts located in King County, Washington have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award. You may also litigate a Dispute in the small claims court located in the U.S. county of Your residence if the Dispute meets the requirements to be heard in small claims court.
Authority of Arbitrator. As limited by the Federal Arbitration Act, these Terms of Use and the applicable AAA rules, the arbitrator will have the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, provided that the arbitrator's award may not exceed, in form or amount, the relief that a United States District Court could order under these Terms of Use; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms of Use. Notwithstanding the AAA Rules, any decisions concerning arbitrability of a particular dispute, including but not limited to whether a class arbitration is permitted by these Terms of Use, shall be resolved by a proper court in King County, Washington, rather than an arbitrator. Any dispute concerning the enforceability of this agreement to arbitrate, or any part thereof, shall also be resolved by a proper court in King County, Washington, rather than an arbitrator.
Rules of AAA. The rules of AAA and additional information about AAA are available on the AAA website (https://www.adr.org/aaa/faces/aoe/gc/consumer). By not opting out of this agreement to arbitrate as specified below, You either (a) acknowledge and agree that You have read and understand the AAA Rules, or (b) waive Your opportunity to read the AAA Rules and any claim that the AAA Rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
Applicability of Agreement to Arbitrate. IF THE PROHIBITION ON CLASS ARBITRATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE IS DEEMED TO BE UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE WILL NOT APPLY.
RIGHT TO OPT OUT: This agreement to arbitrate disputes will apply unless You notify HTC in writing postmarked no later than 30 calendar days of first use the Store that You reject the agreement to arbitrate. You must include in Your notice of opt-out (a) Your name and address; (b) the date on which You first used the Store. You must send Your written notice to HTC Arbitration Program Administrator, 308 Occidental Avenue South, Suite 300, Seattle, WA 98104. No other form of notice will be effective to opt out of this agreement to arbitrate. If You opt out of the agreement to arbitrate, the other terms in these Terms of Use will still apply to You.
1. Waiver of Jury Trial: IF A DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND HTC PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN OR IN ADDITION TO IN ARBITRATION, YOU AND HTC UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTER CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF USE.
2. Governing Law: The Federal Arbitration Act (the "FAA") applies to the agreement to arbitrate. Except as preempted by FAA, the law of the State of Washington, without reference to its choice of laws principles, shall govern these Terms of Use. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the laws of Your state of residence in the U.S.A., (or if You live outside of the U.S.A. but within North or South America, the law of the country where You live), will apply to any tort claims and/or any claims under any consumer protection statutes.
3. Severability: Except as specifically provided above, if any provision of these Terms of Use are held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the enforceability of the remainder of these Terms of Use.

August 17, 2003 · Lessig
When I was growing up, Dennis Kucinich was something of a political hero. I was in high school when he was elected mayor of Cleveland — the youngest mayor of a major city ever. I was also very involved politically. I say "something" of a hero, though, because then I was then a right-wing loon (chairman of the Pennsylvania Teen-Age Republicans, youngest member of a delegation at the 1980 GOP convention). I admired his drive and strength of character; I had little patience for his politics.
I've grown-up a bit in the last 25 years. I'm now, well, not a right-wing loon, and now not at all involved politically. But I am still an admirer of Dennis Kucinich — indeed, now more than ever. I don't (yet?) buy the anti-free trade stuff. But his is a powerful and right voice in this amazing election.
I am of course a bit biased by his embrace of Creative Commons — which has been a part of his blog from the start. But the test for me is always character, and the measure of character for me is whether someone can say what's right, regardless of consequence, just because he believes it is right.
This is Edwards defending affirmative action in North Carolina; this is Dean opposing he war. This is Kucinich, here and elsewhere, articulating views that he believes right, whether or not they are views that will win him favor.
The post about Gilmore was the example here. I have been astonished by the debate around that event. It made me realize how that there are two sorts of people out there when it comes to civil rights. The question that divides us is not whether we believe in civil rights — obviously, everyone (interesting) does. The question is how we believe in civil rights. (1) One sort believes that when someone else acts — either intentionally or carelessly — to infringe a right, it is right (or even maybe a duty) of the person whose rights have been wronged to defend the right regardless of consequence. (2) Another sort believes that when someone else acts — at least carelessly — to infringe a right, the right thing to do is to decide whether, all things considered, it makes sense to defend the right.
Type two sorts are the majority of us. We're the "reasonable" ones. Apple doesn't make commercials about us. We do what everyone would. I'm sure in the right context, I would have to fight all of my instincts to resist being a type two sort. There have been a couple times in my life when I have succeeded, but just a few.
Gilmore is type one — in this context, and many others. (He once, for example, scolded my wife for inviting him to a party with an Evite because it was wrong, he believed, to demand he give up his privacy just to respond to an invitation.) And while I don't agree with the underlying values that he sometimes pushes (for example, I not only thought it wrong for him to scold my wife, I think Evite is great), I do admire the ability to be type one in a world of type two's — especially when I agree with the underlying value (as I do w/r/t the British Airways incident).
Thus, I agree with Kucinich, Gilmore is a patriot. At a time when reasonableness by those in power must be taught, his was a patriot's act (unlike the other Patriot Act). And I admire Kucinich's willingness to say that here — in a space where some of the most well reasoned contributors (and some others as well) have strongly taken the other view. This is the (only) part of Reagan I continue to admire; it is the part of Kucinich I increasingly admire; it is the part in these candidates we should all respect: the willingness to say what's right, regardless of consequence.
Thank you, Congressman, for taking time in this space. And thank you for the character of your campaign.
