#Samsung has just announced that it will release the Pink Gold version of the #GalaxyS7 and the #GalaxyS7edge in South Korea starting April 20 (today). This model appears to be an enhanced version of Rose Gold, which rose to prominence (no pun intended) last year after Apple's release of the iPhone 6s and the 6s Plus. Instead of blatantly ripping off Apple's color variant, Samsung has decided to give this model its own touch, thus calling it Pink Gold.
It looks quite different and could strike a chord with the masses out there, assuming it is available globally. Samsung mentions that more markets will see this new Pink Gold version of the handset, although it hasn't offered much clarification on that front.
This doesn't appear to be any different from standard models of the Galaxy S7 or the Galaxy S7 edge, so we don't think the company is going to charge extra for this particular color variant.
"Pink Gold was chosen as it, like the other colors available for the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, is a natural color that provides a sense of comfort. These hues glitter and shimmer as if illuminated from inside their glass surfaces," Samsung said on this new variant.

An improved rotary internal combustion engine utilizing a new and improved cycle of operation which includes six phases: intake, compression, combustion, after burn, adiabatic expansion, and exhaust. The purpose of both the after burn phase and the adiabatic expansion phase is to increase the thermodynamic efficiency of the engine and also to reduce the pollution products of the exhaust. The after burn phase achieves this purpose by injecting jets of hot compressed air into the hot combustion phase products at the end of the combustion phase and thus promotes more complete combustion. The adiabatic expansion phase serves to increase the engine efficiency by substantially allowing the combustion products to expand inside the engine thus converting the heat energy into useful mechanical energy.
I claim:
1. A rotary internal combustion engine designed to operate on a six-phase cycle which includes intake, compression, combustion, after burn, adiabatic expansion, and exhaust phases; saidengine comprising a stator, a rotor mounted for rotation within said stator and defining a space therebetween, said rotor having a substantially semi-elliptical cross section, a shaft on which said rotor is mounted for rotation of said rotor relative tosaid stator, said shaft being mounted for concentric rotation relative to said stator, four spring-loaded, sliding abutments dividing said space into four working chambers, the volume of said four working chambers varying between a predetermined minimumand a predetermined maximum as said rotor rotates, said four working chambers including:

6. An engine in accordance with claim 1 wherein said stator includes inner and outer plates and a plurality of circumferentially-shaped blocks including said ports, said inner and outer plates forming the side walls of said stator and saidcircumferentially-shaped blocks forming the outer circular surface of said stator, said blocks being arranged so that the distance between said inner plates is substantially equal to the lateral dimension of said rotor.
7. An engine in accordance with claim 1 wherein each of said hold-release mechanisms includes a spring-loaded pin, a rectangular-shaped cam arranged to engage said pin, a ratchet mechanism arranged to rotate said cam, a notched push rodoperatively connected to said pin, and said push rod being connected to said sliding abutment, said ratchet mechanism and said rectangular-shaped cam operative to actuate said spring-loaded pin into or out of engagement with said notched push rod onalternate revolutions of said rotor to alternately hold and release said sliding abutment.
8. An engine in accordance with claim 1 wherein each of said hold-release mechanisms includes a spring-loaded push rod and a T-shaped head, said T-shaped head being mounted in a T-shaped notch in said sliding abutment to allow easy movementtherebetween.
The invention provides a rotary internal combustion engine in which the force of combustion is applied directly to a rotating cam called the rotor. Also provided is a stator inwhich the rotor rotates, and a plurality of cam riders called sliding abutments. These sliding abutments divide the space between the rotor and stator into a plurality of working chambers. The rotation of the rotor is designed to vary the volume of theworking chambers between a predetermined minimum and a predetermined maximum as it rotates.
The object of the invention is to provide an improved rotary internal combustion engine utilizing a new and improved cycle of operation. Conventional engines, whether piston or rotary, generally utilize a four-phase cycle including intake,compression, combustion, and exhaust phases. There is provided herein a six-phase cycle which includes intake, compression, combustion, after burn, adiabatic expansion, and exhaust phases.
To accomplish this with a conventional piston engine or rotary engine would probably be impossible. However, with the rotary engine herein described, the use of the six-phase cycle not only becomes possible but is relatively simple andinexpensive to manufacture.
One form of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing the relationship of stator 10, rotor 20, and sliding abutments 30.
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line 2--2.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the details of sliding abutments 30 and the associated hold-release mechanisms 40.
FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line 4--4 of FIG. 3.
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the ratchet assembly.
FIG. 6 shows details of construction of rotor 20.
FIG. 7 shows a section of rotor 20.
FIGS. 8 and 9 show details of construction of stator 10.
FIG. 10 shows a typical check valve.
FIGS. 11 through 18 show the phases of the six-phase cycle diagramatically and are explained below.
No methods of cooling or lubrication are shown, nor is the ignition circuit shown, as these will depend upon the particular use andapplication of the individual engine, and are well known in the art.
Stator 10 includes circumferential blocks 10a, 10b, 10c, and 10d; slotted inner liner plates 12a, 12b; outer plates 12c, 12d; gaskets 14a, 14b; pressure equalizing slots 16 formed in 10a, 10b, and 10c; and rotor shaft bushings 18a, 18b.
Rotor 20 includes rotor shaft 22, set screw plate 24, key 26, and set screw 28.
Sliding abutments 30 include first sliding abutment 32, second sliding abutment 34, third sliding abutment 36, and fourth sliding abutment 38. A hold-release mechanism 40 is associated with only sliding abutments 34, 36, and 38, as abutment 32continuously engages rotor 20.
Also provided are a carburetor 70, a spark plug 72, an exhaust port 74, and intake ports with check valves 76a, 76b, and 76c.
The rotor 20 is a cam designed, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, to vary the volume of the working chambers between a predetermined minimum and a predetermined maximum as the rotor rotates. In order to obtain high efficiency, it is necessary tomachine the outer rotor surface as well as the sides of the rotor with precision to provide a smooth finish. In order to facilitate the machining, the surface of the rotor consists of four segments in the form of arcs O, P, Q, and R. The center of eacharc is located so that the machining of each arc will not interfere with the surfaces of the other arcs. As shown in FIG. 6, arc O is machined from a center O', arc P from a center P', arc Q from a center Q', and arc R from a center R'. The center O' isoffset from the center lines in order to give arc O the slope SO. It is this slope that provides the motion that actuates the hold-release mechanisms 40.
The space 80 between rotor 20 and stator 10 is divided into a plurality of working chambers by the spring-loaded, sliding abutments 32, 34, 36, and 38. The working chambers are noted as 82, 84, 86, and 88. As rotor 20 rotates relative to stator10, the working chambers will vary in volume between a predetermined minimum and a predetermined maximum. The clearance or space 80 between rotor 20 and stator 10 should be as small as possible. In order to allow the pressure in working chambers 82,84, and 86 to equalize, the blocks 10a, 10b, and 10c include pressure equalizing slots 16. These slots are omitted in block 10d.
In order to obtain the desired six-phase cycle, a hold-release mechanism 40 is associated with each of the sliding abutments 34, 36, and 38. As shown in FIGS. 3, 4, and 5, hold-release mechanism 40 includes the following: sliding abutment 42; asliding abutment operating chamber or pod composed of top block 44; end guides 46 and side plates 48; a notched push rod 50; a push rod T head 50a; a lever 52; a lever link 54; a ratchet assembly 56 including a four-tooth ratchet wheel 56a; pawl 56b;associated lever 56c and a spring 56d; a shaft 58; a rectangular-shaped cam 60; a holding pin assembly 62 including a holding pin 62a, block 62b, and a spring 62c; and a main loading spring and retainer 64.
Sliding abutments 34, 36, and 38 are identical. Sliding abutment 32 is similar in every respect except hold-release mechanism 40 is eliminated as sliding abutment 32 is adapted to be in continuous sealing engagement with the rotor 20.
Each hold-release mechanism 40 functions as follows: When sliding abutment 42 and associated notched push rod 50 approach top of stroke, push rod T head 50a actuates successively lever 52, lever link 54 and ratchet assembly 56. This results in a90.degree. rotation of shaft 58 and rectangular cam 60. As cam 60 rotates between its short axis and its long axis, holding pin 62a moves out of or into the notch in push rod 50, thus providing the alternate hold-release action. In the "hold"position, the sliding abutment is held out of engagement with rotor 20 on alternate revolutions of rotor 20; and in the "release" position, the sliding abutment is held in engagement with rotor 20 on alternate revolutions of rotor 20.
Referring to FIGS. 11 to 18, following is an explanation of the six-stroke cycle as applied herein, said cycle including intake, compression, combustion, after burn, adiabatic expansion, and exhaust phases. In order to achieve the six-phasecycle, it is necessary for the rotor to make two full revolutions in each cycle. The proper position of each sliding abutment 34, 36, and 38 is achieved by means of the associated hold-release mechanisms 40. Each mechanism 40 alternately holds itsrespective sliding abutment in the hold position and on the next revolution of rotor 20, the sliding abutment is released to its release position so that it engages the rotor 20.
All working chambers 82, 84, 86, and 88 are in intake phase as follows:
FIG. 11: As rotor 20 sweeps through chamber 82, a charge of fuel and air is drawn into chamber 82 from carburetor 70 through intake port 76a.
FIG. 12: As rotor sweeps through chamber 84, sliding abutment 34 is in "hold" position. In effect, chambers 82, 84 become one so that chamber 84 receives the charge of fuel and air from chamber 82. Sliding abutments 36 and 38 are in their"hold" positions.
FIG. 13: As rotor sweeps through chamber 86, a charge of air is drawn into chamber 86 through intake port 76b.
FIG. 14: As rotor sweeps through chamber 88, a charge of air is drawn into chamber 88 through intake port 76c.
Thus, chambers 82, 84 now contain a charge of fuel and air, and chambers 86, 88 now contain a charge of air.
FIG. 15: As rotor sweeps through chamber 82, the fuel and air charge is forced into chamber 84.
FIG. 16: Sliding abutment 34 is in "release" position, and chamber 84 is now sealed off. As soon as rotor is in the position shown, the engine enters the compression phase. A spark is produced by spark plug 72, and this results in thecombustion phase and power as the rotor sweeps through chamber 84.
FIG. 17: Sliding abutment 36 is now in "hold" position. As rotor 20 sweeps through chamber 86, the air in chamber 86 combines with the hot contents of chamber 84 providing the after burn phase.
FIG. 18: Sliding abutment 38 is now in "hold" position. As rotor sweeps through chamber 88, chambers 84, 86, and 88 are in effect one chamber. Consequently, the contents of chambers 84, 86 expand into chamber 88. This results in the adiabaticexpansion phase of the cycle. As the rotor completes its sweep through chamber 88, exhaust port 74 is cleared and the exhaust phase takes place.
Thus, the six-phase cycle will repeat with each succeeding two revolutions of rotor 20.
In the form of the invention herein illustrated, one rotor and associated mechanism is shown. In order to obtain more power and flexibility, a plurality of rotors and associated mechanisms can be operated in unison.
A latitude of modification, change and substitution is intended in the foregoing disclosure and, in some instances, some features of the invention will be employed without a corresponding use of other features. Accordingly, it is appropriatethat the appended claims be construed broadly and in a manner consistent with the spirit and scope of the invention herein.

After Poland's Central Committee and Politburo met last weekend to discuss ideology, they concluded with three ''yeas'' and one ''nay.'' Yes, said the Polish leadership, the country would continue on its reform course, recognize the Roman Catholic Church's place in Polish life, and - in a bid for public confidence - relieve the Communist Party apparatus of careerists to make way for employees who are skilled and dedicated to public life.
But for Solidarity, it was another no. For, at the same time as it was appealing to young workers and youth in general, the party again made clear that former union moderates - especially Lech Walesa - are still excluded from this national confidence-building process.
The two-day Central Committee session was concerned with the party's ideological position in the post-martial-law period. It needs both to come to grips with the situation, and at the same time to improve its image and its appeal nationwide.
That, without doubt, is the major essential to economic recovery. The question is how to achieve it.
* Reform. A party commission set up at the 1981 ''reform'' congress has finally issued its assessment of the reasons for the domestic strife that has convulsed Poland four times since the 1950s.
Except for martial law, it would have been a tougher document than it is. Nevertheless, it warns sternly that ''without recourse to democratic methods'' to meet the aspirations of workers and society at large, the government will find itself with another crisis on its hands.
The Central Committee meeting reflected both the party's failure to win worker support and special concern over the lack of enthusiasm among even its own rank and file.
From 1980 on it lost 800,000 members. Recruitment since has brought little replacement. This is partly due to ideological caution - but less because the party is rejecting applicants over ideological issues, than because it has failed to reach young workers.
General Jaruzelski also called for applied effort throughout the educational system to rear youth in ''the ideals and moral values of a socialist society.''
That will not not be easy, as the communist youth daily, Sztandar Mlodych - normally close to the official line - pointed out in a glum note on attracting youth.
''The party,'' it said bluntly, ''does not fulfill youth's expectations. We confine ourselves within meeting room walls immersed in the party's own internal affairs. . . . (And) society looks on from outside.''
* Role of the church. The drop in Communist Party membership is also due to the much-increased influence of the Catholic Church among large sections of Polish youth. These young people, previously not especially devout or church-going, have turned to a body that seemed more understanding of their problems.
There have been hard-line criticisms recently of ''militant clericalism'' on the part of younger priests.
One of them, the Rev. Henryk Jankowski, has been the ''chaplain'' to the Gdansk shipyard since August 1980, when Solidarity was started there. He is facing possible charges over the Solidarity ''corner'' maintained in his church ever since the union's dissolution by martial law.
But General Jaruzelski's concluding speech avoided criticism of the church and reaffirmed its cooperation as needed in the national interest.
* Government employees. New criteria are being set for elections for regional and local party posts, with orders to change ''old habits'' by choosing officers with professional skills and public rapport as well as ideological responsibility.
* Attitude toward trade unions. The deadline for political amnesty, set when martial law was lifted in July, is less than two weeks off. An official reminder , just issued, told the remnants of underground union opposition they still have until Oct. 31 to return to ''normal life.''
So far, about 400 have done so, and - according to official report - were fully pardoned subject to their refraining from ''illegal activity.''
''The door is still open,'' it is said, for the 50 to 60 activists who have said little recently but apparently are undecided about amnesty on the government's terms.
Mr. Walesa has several times indicated that the time has come for the underground to give up.
But neither this (which would relieve the government of an embarrassment), nor his repeated calls for moderation in a fresh dialogue involving representatives of the former Solidarity majority that still ignores the new unions, has had any effect on official thinking.

Cozy Cuts hair and tanning salon in Eminence recently changed its hours of operation thanks to dedicated customers and growing clientele.
Stephanie Hancock, owner and operator of Cozy Cuts, located at 5320 S. Main St. in Eminence, is excited about the new opportunity.
"I am very appreciative of my dedicated customers and I always look forward to meeting those who aren't a familiar face," Hancock said.
Landmark News Service
Investigators believe they have identified a murder victim, found by hunters in a Henry County ditch more than nine years ago.
The man, Miguel Angel Garcia, was reportedly killed on an eastern Jefferson County farm in a 1998 cocaine-deal gone wrong, investigators believe.
Garcia's skeletal remains were linked to DNA samples from the FBI's missing-persons database.
Hunters found those remains in February 1999 and forensic specialists determined the man had been beaten and shot.
Visitors to the Henry County Local won't likely notice, but velcroed somewhere around the office grounds is a small weatherproof container that holds a logbook and a special message. It's exact location is concealed from "mugglers" who might attempt to vandalize or steal the device.
It's part of a worldwide treasure-hunting game, where participants use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to hide-and-seek what's known as 'geocache.'
Land is a valuable resource and an asset required for any kind of development, whether it is urban or rural. Yet a careful balance must be encouraged whereby our most productive lands are available for agricultural use.
Kentucky's General Assembly, in 1928 passed the Agricultural District Law (Statute 262.850) which permits a landowner or group of landowners with 250 acres or more to petition the local conservation district to include their land in an agricultural district. The petition is then forwarded to the Kentucky Soil and Water Commission for approval or denial.
Eminence Elementary STLP holding car wash
The Eminence Elementary Student Technology Leadership Program team will hold a car wash and bake sale Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Browning's Service Department in Eminence. Proceeds will help the team travel to its first state competition in May.
Clements Bottom Homecoming
The renovation of the old Clements Bottom School House has been completed and a homecoming is planned for May 10. This will be an old fashioned soup and pie supper which will begin at 11 a.m.
Craig Meadows remembers when his T-ball team celebrated its season-end with a splash at the public pool. It used to be a place where kids from the city could mingle with those from the county, and childhood laughter was the by-product of a back-buster or belly-flop.
Now the Eminence senior hopes a weekend concert can lull a community divided over a contentious plan to re-open the city pool, closed by officials a few years ago because of sagging attendance.
Staff Report
Think your tractor's sexy?
Then show it off Saturday at the inaugural 22-mile tractor ride, to benefit the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. The event will start at the county fairgrounds and snake through Franklinton, Bethlehem and Pleasureville, before returning to the starting site.
"We're trying to stay out of the major traffic," organizer William "Junie" Potts said. "I don't think we're going to stall traffic very much."
A shiny New International will lead the pack, but anyone with a tractor is welcome to join the informal parade.
This year will mark the 21st anniversary of the death of a beloved Henry County resident, Judy Wilson Lea. Even though many people did not know her, many still benefit from her. Lea worked for the Henry County Public School system as a cafeteria worker at Campbellsburg Elementary School. While there she became known for her willingness to help children in need. In 1987, the year she died, a fund was set up in her name that helps children every year who cannot afford the basic needs in life, such as shoes, clothing, eyeglasses and medical care.
General Manager
If you have a nasty bug crawling in your house, who you gonna call?
You could call the newest bug buster in town, Star Pest Control in Pleasureville.
The Pleasureville office, operated by David Frakes, is a branch of Star Pest Control of Shelbyville.
"Basically, I've opened up a franchise under his company, hopefully to supply pest control services to Henry County," Frakes said.
Though Frakes looked at several locations in Henry County, he opted for Pleasureville because of the community.
A student stole her last puff from a cigarette in the campus parking lot before heading into Henry County High School last week. She tossed the butt out the window of her car, doused herself with body spray and scrambled to beat the morning bell.
Today is National Kick Butts Day, a day when students are supposed to stand out, speak up and seize control in the fight against tobacco.

Inez and Charlie Foxx were a R&B and soul brother and sister duo from Greensboro, North Carolina. Inez was a former member of the Gospel Tide Chorus. Her first solo single, 'A Feeling', was issued on Brunswick Records, credited to 'Inez Johnston'. Charlie was, meanwhile, a budding songwriter and his reworking of a nursery rhyme, 'Mockingbird', became their first single together. Released on the Sue label subsidiary Symbol, it was a US Top 10 hit in 1963, although it was not until 1969 that the song charted in the UK Top 40. Their immediate releases followed the same contrived pattern, but later recordings for Musicor/Dynamo, in particular 'I Stand Accused', were more adventurous. However, their final hit together, '(1-2-3-4-5-6-7) Count the Days' (1967), was modelled closely on that early style. Solo again, Inez continued to record for Dynamo before signing with Stax/Volt in 1972. Although apparently uncomfortable with their recording methods, the results, including the Inez Foxx 'In Memphis' album, were excellent. Make no mistake about it, this track rates among one of the greatest underplayed records on the Northern Soul scene. ~ http://www.oldies.com/

RIA structured as an independent branch network rises in Virginia's horse country on Fidelity platform
April 11, 2011 — 2:42 PM UTC by Elizabeth MacBride
Elizabeth's note: The Washington in Washington Wealth Management refers not to the nation's capital, but to the man himself: George. I wondered if CEO Tony Sirianni had consulted some branding expert or management guru to pick the name, but it turns out that Sirianni is a fan of the nation's first president. I've been working on the guidebook for Washington's home, Mount Vernon – a project that predates my role at RIABiz. One of Washington's great gifts was his ability to focus on what was important at any given time. During the Revolutionary War, that was keeping his army together. During the Presidency, it was keeping the country together.
It's hard to tell what role Washington Wealth Management will play in the independent revolution, but it's clear that for now Sirianni is focused not on AUM or on starting offices in particularly flashy locales, but on finding the branch managers he thinks can be successful for his strategy.
An RIA with a long time horizon and a strategy to grow using former wirehouse branch managers is emerging from the horse country around Middleburg, Va.
With its headquarters in a centuries-old former inn, in the middle of the town known as an old-money capital, four-month-old Washington Wealth Management has lured five advisors so far: a team of three from Morgan Stanley Smith Barney in December and two from Scott & Stringfellow, who work in Richmond. Today, it announced the addition of Jordan Ball, who had long careers at Paine Webber and Scott & Stringfellow before retiring from the latter firm four years ago to be an independent consultant. He'll be a regional vice president, heading the Richmond office.
Four more offices
Tony Sirianni started the firm in December, and says he wants to have four more offices in built around strong branch managers before the end of this year. New England and New Jersey are among the places where he's seen strong interest, as well as the Deep South and the West Coast.
The former executive director for Morgan Stanley Smith Barney ran a complex of brokers for that firm, and in a previous life was an executive and branch manager for Legg Mason. He has a friendly, low-key style, and his firm has a good story, notes Danny Sarch of Leitner Sarch Consultants, who is recruiting for it.
"He sells … he's a sincere, bright good guy who has sat in the seat," Sarch said. "Tony's firm values the branch manager … allows them to build franchises while paying themselves nicely. I think it's appealing to the entrepreneurial nature of the really good branch managers."
Sarch also drew a contrast between Washington Wealth Management and HighTower, the venture-capital rollup that's on a fast growth trajectory. See: HighTower doubles recruiting staff and seeks green pastures of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney brokers.
Advisors who join Washington Wealth Management within the first 18 months will all become equity owners of the firm with a 10-year-vesting period; advisors who join later will have the chance to earn equity.
Sirianni says he wants to put power into the hands of branch managers, who can then recruit smaller advisors from the wirehouses as well as independent advisors that might be tired of being out on their own.
"The big firms don't see the value in (branch managers), which is crazy because that's how they built themselves," Sirianni said.
Similar strategy
RIABiz wrote about another firm, Houston-based U.S. Capital Advisors, which aims to recruit former wirehouse branch managers. U.S. Capital Advisors went on a blitzkrieg of recruiting using money from investors. See: A HighTower-like consolidator rises from Texas ground.
Washington Wealth Management is financed by Sirianni and one other local investor, he said. The goal is that the company will be self-funded, though it has .
Mark Tibergien, CEO of Pershing Advisor Solutions, said in an earlier interview that his firm is working more frequently with breakaway wirehouse branch managers who are leveraging their capabilities in the independent advisory realm. Not only can these executives maximize the potential of producers, but they have loyal team members and can attract them to newly formed practices.
Washington Wealth Management custodies at Fidelity Institutional Wealth Services and uses Mid-Atlantic Capital Corp., which clears through National Financial Services, as its broker-dealer. Sirianni expects that the firm will have a fee and commission mix of about 80/20, and it's considering moving on to the Envestnet Asset Management platform. It also uses Capsaicin for its office technology.
An 'aha' moment
Sirianni said moving to the independent space was by no means an easy choice for him. A Legg Mason alumnus, he stayed at Smith Barney and then at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney for a year after the acquisition. Last summer, he said, he resigned and began to look at what he wanted to do.
"It was an 'aha' that took about four months," he says. He kept thinking of all the reasons that brokers don't go independent. Eventually, he built his business plan around them:
• A lot of advisors owe money
• The costs of going independent are prohibitive
• Advisors don't want to do their own management
• Advisors don't want to be alone in a basement somewhere
• Advisors worry about compliance
With a payout that will typically be 70%, Washington Wealth Management, he says, solves those problems. The firm loans money to advisors to pay off any obligations to the wirehouses. It provides the office space and technology as part of the deal. "It's plug-and-play," he says.It also handles all the compliance and management for a practice – and the branch manager structure is designed to support advisors.
Evil Empire
The Bouchard Group, which had $200 million of AUM, came to Washington Wealth Management in December and is based in Middleburg. The husband-and-wife team, which includes another advisor and several support staff, had worked with Sirianni at Legg Mason. Unhappy with the atmosphere at MSSB, they had been looking for a different landing place for a while. They'd gone to check out Stifel Nicolaus, but its growth trajectory made them nervous that the company was preparing itself to be sold.
"We're going to wind up back at the evil empire, we told ourselves," says Saundra Bouchard.
MSSB filed a lawsuit against Washington Wealth Management alleging Sirianni solicited the Bouchard Group; the case went to arbitration and was settled, but Sirianni said Washington Wealth Management did not have to pay anything to the wirehouse. Both sides agreed to walk away from the arbitration, he said.
Bouchard said she is still working to bring clients over, while MSSB is still actively pursuing them. In addition to the money it manages for individuals, the team manages about $30 million for small 401(k) plans. It's just signed its first plan onto the fee platform that Fidelity offers for 401(k)s, and Bouchard says that in the future, all of her team's new platforms will be fee plans.
The Bouchards knew Sirianni from their days at Legg Mason. They're comfortable with him and the idea that Washington Wealth Management aims to be around for the long haul.
"We don't want to wake up one day to be owned for a wirehouse," Sirianni said. "That's not what people are signing up for."

Mandelson slams Beijing for not collecting royalties
EmptyBRUSSELS -- China must clamp down on illegal broadcasts of foreign music, movies and television shows, European Union trade commissioner Peter Mandelson said in Beijing on Wednesday.
Mandelson slammed Beijing for failing to ensure China's state television and karaoke bars pay royalties to European copyright holders. "Chinese broadcasters like CCTV do not pay royalties," he said.
Chinese law provided for such payments since 2001 but no fees have ever been set and no royalties ever enforced. Mandelson said Chinese promises that the law would be clarified by the end of 2006 have now been rescinded. "'I would like to see a strong public declaration by the Chinese government that they want to see the appropriate royalty payments being made in the future," he said.
Mandelson -- who raised the issue of copyright violations with Chinese commerce minister Bo Xilai and Vice Premier Wu Yi -- said much more was needed to criminalize counterfeiting-related offenses, often neglected by local police and courts. He called for lower thresholds for prosecutable intellectual property offenses, tougher sentencing of offenders, and action in cleaning up street markets.
China was the source of more than half the counterfeit goods seized at EU borders in 2005. Mandelson said piracy in China is not only a "huge drain" on European competitiveness but also hurts China itself. China's film and music industry is crippled by intellectual property theft, and the government says about 80% of IP rights lawsuits are filed by Chinese companies.
Earlier, European officials signed an agreement to provide technical help to a newly established network of 50 government offices throughout China that will receive and investigate complaints of copyright violations.

(Great job, Mom! Now all I have to teach you is how to get your arm bent 90 degrees in the opposite direction without breaking a sweat and you'll be unstoppable!)
It is a scientific fact that UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson has one of the most supportive/adorable MMA moms in the bidness. According to Bendo's Wikipedia page, his Korean-born mother, Song, was not only responsible for introducing Benson to martial arts through Tae Kwon Do, but is apparently so supportive of her son's career that she has begun to take some martial arts classes (specifically, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) of her own despite being 50+ years of age.
And if the above picture is any indication, it appears that Song was born to be a fighter as well. Henderson tweeted the above photo this morning with the following words of wisdom:
My mama's 1st ever #BJJ (any kind of) competition, from this past weekend…this 4'9″, 50+ year old Korean lady inspires the crap outta me everyday…earned herself a standing ovation and bronze medal too…she was nervous as crap but pulled thru like a #Champ
After Bendo originally captured the UFC's lightweight crown, he and Song took a celebratory trip to South Korea where they received a hero's welcome. It's good to know that their ability to inspire knows no cultural bounds. One thing's for sure, this is one senior citizen you sure as hell don't want to get into a tussle over some marble rye with.
So, Potato Nation, who's interested in seeing Bendo's mom take on Keith Jardine's for the right to be called the baddest MMA mom on the planet?
Speaking of Bendo, check out a video of the lightweight champ picking up a win over Arizona local Christian Broadnax in the 8th Arizona Open Jiu-Jitsu International last weekend below. Like mother, like son.

Bill Ayers has come out of whatever cave he has been hiding in.
Ayers, a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, adds few new details about his relationship with Obama in the afterword to Fugitive Days: Memoirs of an Anti-War Activist. The book is being reissued this month.
"We had served together on the board of a foundation, knew one another as neighbors and family friends, held an initial fund-raiser at my house, where I'd made a small donation to his earliest political campaign," he writes.
So, not just a guy... more of a family friend who hosted President-elect Obama's first fund raiser in his living room. Now where have I heard that before?

Quick Tip: Want your photos printed beautifully? Check out our reviews of the best photo printing services. Prices start at $0.09/photo!
The power of macro photography lies mainly in its ability to unveil details that are – in normal conditions – concealed from the eye. Small subjects, like flowers and insects, are captured in greater-than-life size and brought closer to us.
However, describing macro photography exclusively as the art of the extreme closeup is not entirely accurate.
Macro can be creatively used not only to reveal miniature worlds but to investigate aspects that are essential to photography, such as light, shape, pattern and textural depth.
This selection of beautiful photographs, covering a wide range of subjects, exhibits how there can be many sides to the general concept of macro photography.
1. Refraction of a Daisy Flower
2. Chess & Climbers
3. At the Parking Lot
4. On a Small Yule Tree
5. Green Swirl
6. Take the Rainbow
7. Batman & Deer
8. Behold the Human Eye: Part II
9. Untitled
10. Seaflower
11. Tumble
12. Snowflake
13. Deep Jungle
14. Petal Lady
It's all in the details.
Indeed, the path to originality can sometimes be found in the smaller things. More than other styles of photography, macro also is about curiosity and the desire to surprise the viewer.

Iron Supplementation is Beneficial for Female Athletes
Iron is an essential nutrient, especially for athletes. Iron's most important role is to transport oxygen through the body via the blood protein hemoglobin. When iron intakes and absorption are inadequate to meet needs, the hemoglobin molecule that contains iron at its core cannot be produced. Symptoms such as fatigue, weakness and dizziness relate to the reduced ability of the body to transport oxygen. Iron deficiency in athletes reduces oxygen uptake and the output of muscles, impairing performance. Female athletes are at additional risk of iron deficiency. As women, they have high blood losses due to menstruation. The World Health Organization reports that one in two women worldwide are iron deficient. Athletes also have higher iron needs: high-impact sports such as running causes blood cells in the foot to burst, athletes may have unbalanced diets when they attempt to achieve a certain body weight or body composition, and the inflammation caused by constant exercise can also prevent efficient iron uptake from food (see the section on iron in the Position Statement on Nutrition and Athletic Performance from the American Dietetic Association for more background). Women who are athletes are therefore at a higher risk of iron deficiency anemia than either women or athletes in general.
Recently, Pasricha and co-workers conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis on the effect of iron supplementation in female athletes. They selected 22 publications that represented the results of supplementing over 900 women randomly to iron supplements or a control treatment. The iron supplementation dose and varied widely, from amounts that can be easily reached by the diet (10 mg) to very high doses given to women with clear iron deficiency (325 mg). Most trials used elemental iron as Fe2SO4 as the intervention. The authors were interested in trials that reported on both maximal and sub-maximal exercise performance, normally expressed as peak oxygen uptake (VO2max) and heart rate during exercise.
The authors found that iron supplementation improved maximal and submaximal exercise performance. Relative and absolute VO2max was improved in the supplemented group in trained women, and the effect was seen in women regardless of whether they were iron deficient at baseline or not. This reflects improvements in the oxygen-carrying capacity of the body. Heart rate decreased during submaximal exercise for the supplemented group, showing that oxygen transportation is more efficient with iron supplementation.
This study is important as it shows a functional benefit to iron supplementation that goes beyond merely correcting clinical deficiency. Improvements were seen both in women who were iron deficient, and those who were not. Ultimately, the aim behind taking micronutrient supplements is not to avoid deficiency, but to improve quality of life, or that of another important and tangible outcome. For female athletes, their training regimen is intended to improve their physical performance. It is clear here that iron supplementation can help.

If you ever have referred a claim to your commercial general liability (CGL) insurance carrier for defense of a lawsuit, you probably received a dense letter quoting and interpreting your policy and providing coverage analysis. Such a letter will often be styled as a "reservation of rights" letter whereby the carrier agrees to provide a defense, subject to certain limitations, and notifies you coverage for a claim may not apply. It is a common and certainly understandable reaction to skim or skip the legalese and simply flip to the last page and read the conclusion to find out whether the insurer will be providing a defense. But lurking within those pages may be potentially devastating language that can put you on the hook for tens of thousands of dollars in attorneys' fees.
The details
The language at issue may be only a sentence or two buried in the coverage analysis, such as: "Insurer reserves the right to seek recovery of defense costs incurred in the defense of the insured in the event that it is determined that no such defense was owed." In some states, this reservation is ineffective. In others, it is enforceable but only if the insured does not respond and object. In other states, it is enforceable regardless of any objection by the insured.
It is important you understand the rules that apply to your policy. Typically, the law governing the policy is the law of the state in which the policy is issued. In most cases, if a lawsuit is filed alleging you are responsible for bodily injury or damage to property other than the work itself, you can forward the claim to your CGL carrier, who must appoint an attorney to defend the claim even if uncovered claimssuch as damage to the roofare included in the lawsuit. The traditional interpretation and application of the rules governing CGL carriers' duty to defend and indemnify their insured entitles you to a complete defense against all claims, including those individual claims for which insurance would not be available, with the understanding that any sums awarded to the plaintiff for uncovered losses would be paid by you.

Near Albany in Gentry County, Missouri — The American Midwest (Upper Plains)
Gentry County
Gentry County, first formed in 1841, and fully organized in 1845, is named for Mo. Militia Maj. Gen. Richard Gentry, Colonel of Volunteers in the Florida War, hero of the Battle of Lake Okeechobee, 1837, in which he was killed. A roadside park in the county is dedicated to the memory of his wife, Ann Hawkins Gentry.
The county, part of territory ceded in 1824 by Iowa, Sac, and Fox tribes, was roamed by Indians into the 1830's. First settlers were Isaac Miller, Tobias Miller, William Martin, and John Roberts in 1834. Early pioneers were from Ky., Va., and Tenn.
Albany, the county seat, was laid out in 1845 by the town commissioner, Elisha Cameron, and was briefly called Athens. A branch of the C. B. & Q. Railroad reached there, 1879, and a second branch was built to a point 2 miles west of town, 1881. The county's largest town, Albany developed as trading center and shipping point after the coming of the railroads. Early schools there were Northwest Missouri (Methodist) College, opened in 1891; Central Christian College, 1892; Palmer (Christian) College, 1912.
(See other side)
(Continued from other side)
A livestock, grain, and blue grass seed producer, Gentry County comprises 488 sq. miles of rolling hills, glacial prairie, and river bottom land. In
Stanberry, the second largest town in the county, was laid out by St. Louis Western Improvement Co., the year the Omaha Div. of the Wabash R.R. was built in the county, 1879. The town, 12 miles from Albany, grew as shipping point and railroad shops were established there in 1880's. An early school, the Northwest Normal School and Business Institute, opened there, 1881. Among other county towns were King City, laid out 1869, on C. B. & Q., blue grass seed center; McFall, 1879, on the Wabash; Darlington, 1879, on C. B. & Q. and Wabash; Gentry and Ford City, laid out in the 1880's, on the C. B. & Q.
In the county, in northerly direction, ran Council Bluffs Trace, a post road opened by U.S. Army, 1823, between Fort Atkinson, Nebr., and Liberty, Mo. East of Grand River ran Field's Trace surveyed along route of an old Indian trail, 1818, by Gabrial Field.

No sooner had the dust settled over the bumpy transition from Windows Vista to Windows 7, than Microsoft started fueling interest around its upcoming new operating system, codenamed Windows 8. In June they previewed the new PC OS via the Microsoft YouTube channel, followed by a demonstration at the Computex 2011. Over the past year they have also provided BetaArchive and other sources with a steady leak of Milestone Builds. Windows 8 is expected to be released in the fall of 2012, only three years after the official launch of Microsoft's present flagship Windows 7.
Do you wonder what Microsoft has up its sleeve? In this article I have summarized the most important changes and new features, providing a brief overview of what you can expect to see in Windows 8. Will Windows 8 really be a new beginning?
Designed For Touchscreens
While Windows 8 is evidently designed to be compatible with touchscreens, it will of course support mouse and keyboard, making the transition for those not yet accustomed to touchscreens a little less stressful. On the other hand, touch technology is generally very intuitive to use and Microsoft's interpretation appears to be very smooth. So expect to use your mouse a lot less!
Metro Style UI Replaces Standard Desktop
In Windows 8, the standard desktop will be replaced by a Metro style user interface (UI). Metro is Microsoft's own design language, which was previously used for Windows Media Center and Windows Phone 7. On the new Start screen, desktop icons are replaced by tiles, which provide a compact and potentially live preview of the app. Using the touch interface, users can move to different pages of the start screen, much like in Google Android, or slide between open applications, which is a great improvement over the Windows Aero Flip feature.
You can see a thorough preview of how the Windows 8 UI will look and work in this video:
In an attempt to satisfy traditionalists, the standard desktop will continue to be available as an app.
Apps & App Store
In mid August Microsoft confirmed that Windows 8 is going to contain an App Store. This will provide users with a central location for searching and downloading software compatible with their operating system, rather than having to deal with the websites of individual software providers.
Moreover, Microsoft has revealed that the new Windows 8 platform is based on HTML5 and JavaScript, allowing web developers to code web-powered apps for Windows 8. Later this month Microsoft will introduce developers to the core concept at its BUILD 2011 conference.
This move shows that the line between desktop and cloud-based applications continues to blur.
Same System Requirements As Windows 7
There is good news for those eager to try Windows 8, but not keen on investing in new hardware. Microsoft announced that Windows 8 will have the same hardware requirements as Windows 7. It will run on Intel, AMD, and ARM based 32- and 64-bit chips with a minimum of 1GHz, 16G available hard drive disk space (32-bit) or 20GB (64-bit), and DirectX 9 capable graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver.
Why This Drastic Change?
Despite its slightly chipped reputation, Windows continues to be the reigning champion when it comes to shares on the personal computer operating system market (90+%). This is of course because every non-Mac computer comes with Windows pre-installed. The latest numbers from NetMarketShare, however, reveal that Windows 7 (30%) has yet to overtake its predecessor Windows XP, which remains to have a tight grip on over 50% of the market.
With the rise of affordable smartphones and tablets, the turnover for PC operating systems can be expected to slow down. There obviously is a lack of incentive to buy a new (Windows) computer, while the old one still works fine and novel gadgets compete for attention and financial resources. The one and only thing that is going to make a majority of customers switch from one OS to another is the hardware.
With Windows 8, Microsoft is not just presenting a revolutionary new Windows (although not entirely novel), but also a hybrid operating system that will run on a range of devices. One reason for this development certainly is that we continue to see a shift from old school immobile desktop computers designed to run huge software packages, towards mobile devices predominantly running internet-enabled and cloud-based applications. Microsoft is trying to stay on top of its game.
The Verdict
From what we can see so far, Windows 8 is a quantum leap. With the departure from the standard desktop and the focus on touchscreen navigation, it presents a revolutionary change over previous versions of Windows. The handling of apps appears to be smooth and intuitive and it will be interesting to see whether Microsoft managed to integrate this intuitive interface into deeper levels of Windows 8, such as the Control Panel. Unfortunately, previews of the Windows Explorer for example reveal much more traditional approaches. Nevertheless, I would say we shall all expect to be impressed as this should be a new beginning indeed.

I myself am not really looking foward to this new release. I like simplified things that im familiar with which usually means I dont upgrade. It kills me that a lot of cell phones and such are becoming more than phones when all i want to do is text or call someone and i have to put up with some "new and progressive" layout or feel on them. Seeing this invade the last bastion of simple straight forward computing for some fluff feel on my desktop saddens me. One childish way of comparison is the nintendo wii, when i play games... i want to play games, if i want to move more than my thumbs on a controller i will get up and go to the outdoors. Similarly, I like the fact I can move a mouse a few inches max and use anything on my comp, not hold my arms aloft for minutes at a time. While Im sure there is far more to this than just touch screen, that makes me pause because they seem to be making that feature pivotal. Which means that though mouse and keyboard will still be there for you, half of what could run will not be optimized for it with such a focus on the touch screen. Im willing to be open and see what comes out of it but all i see this as is me being slowly forced to accept a huge bunch of fluff that the younger generation will see as trendy since they dont use their braincells quite so much in the logic dept. Also the strong integration of cloud computing is a turn off for me, dont get me wrong... cloud based setups are nice but only in some small sections of a system, not the whole thing unless some business setup requires it, certainly not a mainstay on my private system. Some of you will probably say im just being backwards and resistant to progress, but when I sit down at my own computer I want to be able to work or play in a simple efficient manner and if that means using a layout and feel that im familiar and comfy with then by all means I will agree and not be ashamed of it. This Windows 8 is simply pandering to the facebook generation where you will wave your arms around a whole bunch, see lots of pretty pictures and have your daily gossip easily broadcast to you without clicking an icon, and proceed to sit at the comp for hrs... and when you finally get up will have acomplished on that operating system what you could have probly done in 5 mins or less on a legacy design. But hey these days I guess thats called progress.
sorry bout my ranting but so far all I have heard are things that leave a bad taste in my mouth, because being a comp tech even if I avoid it like the plague personally on my own systems, im sure many of my clients will be bought in on this trendy step into the future and I will be forced to sit in front of plenty of machines with Win 8 and deal with it anyways. But hey I could always be wrong and it turns out great, wouldnt be the first time by a long shot, but at the moment I just cant see the silver lining in this thing.
I am sick of updating just so Microsoft can make some more money, each time I lose more and more programs to the legacy bin. I am sticking with Win 7 until they have something truly worth offering.
More Vapor Ware. If they are so confident, why don't they just do it and tell us about it when it's done. And if they are so innovative, why haven't they already done it.
Sure they have 90% but that is because no one really understood that Apple Mac simply better, that 90% will soon be 50% if Microsoft don't get this one right first time, like Apple did with the iPod, the iPhone and the iPad.
If you look closely Microsoft has always been a Mac "want to be" for example GUI, Tablets, MS Storefronts, AppStore, ..... but it;s not. I imagine that under that shiny new windows Metro UI is something that look a lot like plain old DOS.
And remember the last time they promised their OS would run on all platforms / hardware. (Windows NT) it lasted for the pre-release and after that the abstracted kernel would only support one architecture.
I used Windows NT for all of a week, it was a utter failure
I just feel that most of the windows is pretty similar, except the addition of the Rain Omnimo theme.... But few additions like Transfer speed graph, multiple transfers side by side and pausing seems to be a good one. I am pretty excited to get a hands-on experience. When is the first official beta expected to be released ?
And thus. LINUX REMAINS THE SAME.
In a good way.
Who else feels that a touch-based interface is a terrible idea for desktops? It's annoying enough to clean my laptop's screen from dust and other unidentified gunk, and MS is suggesting that "the future" will be covered by fingerprints?
(I did see that keyboard/mouse is not going away, just saying...)
You don't have to use a touchscreen, you can continue to use mouse and keyboard.
I shall avoid this. I love the old desktop feel. I am afraid to get into this new cloud computing thing... I like to actually own my hardware and what I use on it...
the standard desktop is still going to be incorperated in to the ui along with the other metro ui, it's not a seperate app..
I'm afraid I couldn't see the entire keynote today. When I wrote the article over a week ago, the latest information was that the desktop in Windows 8 would be accessible as or like an app.

text: I Got a batch of twitter accts from a fiverr gig and instead of using them right away to blast out CPA ads I decided to try and build some to real accts. Well one of the accts I started building all of a sudden my login didn't work. The only thing I can think of is the email used by the creator (fiverr seller) to verify this acct must have been resold and the current user of the email has changed my password. Is this something that is possible? I already sent an email to the guy from the fiverr gig who also sells accts on this forum. I won't point him out now as I am waiting his response to my question.

As of 2015, there is no definitive scientific evidence to suggest that vitamin E helps in the treatment of Peyronie's disease. Vitamin E may not be recommended for this condition, notes Mayo Clinic.
Vitamin E is an antioxidant noted for its minimal side effects and affordability, states the Urology Care Foundation. Early research suggests that it corrected the problem experienced by men with Peyronie's disease. However, the results of the majority of these studies were not reliable and conclusive.
The use of vitamin E for Peyronie's disease earned a "D" rating at Mayo Clinic. This indicates the availability of only a fair amount of clinical data to support the claim that vitamin E is safe and effective against Peyronie's disease.

iOS 7 and OS X 10.9 will be unveiled at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference on 10th June.
An announcement for this year's WWDC went online yesterday afternoon, complete with a new logo and typeface, with a press release from Apple teasing the new operating systems. In the press release, Apple's Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing, Phil Schiller, said:
We can't wait to get new versions of iOS and OS X into their [developers] hands at WWDC.
Historically, Apple has often used its opening keynote at WWDC to reveal new versions of iOS and OS X and, occasionally, new hardware. Last year, Apple announced OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion well ahead of WWDC back in February 2012, but this year the company is staying quiet. If there are no major announcements before WWDC in June, it will have been 230 days since they announced new products, the longest time since the announcement of the original iPad.
It also seems unlikely we'll be seeing anything more than software at this year's conference, with Tim Cook hinting at new product announcements in fall and 2014 during an earnings call earlier this week.
As ever, we'll be providing full coverage of all of Apple's announcement at WWDC in June.

The good will of the solid original and its amusing sequel has been squandered by laziness.
Audience Reviews for Fritt Vilt 3 (Cold Prey 3)
Wasted potential on a well thought prequel, offering the same as it's predecessors. Good looks, nice enough characters and well pulled tense sequences. I think it's time to end the franchise here, it has nothing more to offer.
Super Reviewer
Third film in the Cold Prey trilogy is a prequel to the first two films and it takes place in the 1980's. For a third entry in a Slasher franchise, this still has plenty of effective ideas to make it an interesting watch for genre fans. Cold Prey still has all the necessary things that you'd expect from this series, and it not only relies on gory kills, but suspense and atmosphere to build the tension on-screen. The Norwegians are truly wonderful in creating intense horror films that bring back traditional elements that has made the genre worth seeing. This prequel should appeal to fans, but like every other third part in any series, the film does start to show a certain lack of inspiration. Luckily the film does still have lots to offer for fans looking for effective thrills. Cold Prey 3 could have been done better, but like I said, there is enough good material presented here to make for a worthwhile viewing experience. I enjoyed the prequel and it has everything that I enjoyed from the first, albeit a tad watered down. However that is to be expected from a third film. This entry still has lots of gore and effectively great kill sequences that make up for a good Slasher film. The Cold Prey films were a breath of fresh air in a horror genre that was stagnant, cliché and lacked anything that was truly entertaining. For a prequel, Cold Prey 3 will surely appeal to fans and it is a horror picture that delivers the good yet again. Although this better be the final entry in the series as we see that the film's ideas are struggling in some areas. Nonetheless, this is still a worthwhile movie and one that delivers from start to finish.

Seems like the director took the title a bit too seriously & went on to put it into effect on its audience. Well, at least on one of the world's most important one. Such literal transitions of the titles ought to be forbidden. For what its worth, it makes the first two parts look incredible. Relatively. Here, it only gets worse. I'd to constantly keep reminding myself that at least it's not the worst I've been put through. Having seen worse sometimes comes to rescue. Nothing worth elaborating about the plot and the performances herein. Feel free to imagine the helplessness and interpret it your way.

Hot Latina Julia Roca shows off her fabulous body in a string body stocking and stilettos. Heavily hung sexual madman Nacho Vidal mashes her natural tits and eats her hairy pussy; he grips the kneeling girl's hair for a face fuck and yanks her head way up his ass for a long, severe rim job. They screw wildly in a backwards/upside-down position. Nacho fingers her to wet, screaming ecstasy. A standing, manhandling fuck dominates Julia, whose round ass rolls as she rides. Makeup trashed, she makes serious eye contact with the camera in a pussy-to-mouth BJ shot POV-style. Nacho sucks her toes and fingers her twat as they fuck intimately. After an intense hammering on the floor and all over the room, he cums in Julia's thick, black bush.
