Two powerful realizations hit me as I attended the Elite Dairy Producer Conference sponsored by Dairy Today. First, one of the dairy producers I was talking with shared his view of the business. As he described his current situation, he sounded rather worn out, uncertain what the future would hold, almost as if his purpose for being in business was no longer clear.
Granted, the delicate milk price/feed price balance right now is enough to make anyone feel uncertain. However, this particular producer's tone struck me. It was unusual for an event like the Elite Producer Conference. Of course, I wanted to help him. I wanted to ask him more about what he had done to manage the price volatility that was the source of so much frustration. From what I gathered, he had done very little to take control of price risk. I wanted to break through his gloom, explain how the tools work and how we could help him.
Then I came home, and one of our Stewart-Peterson employees had me watch a video by Simon Sinek. The gist of Sinek's work is that people don't buy WHAT you do, they buy WHY you do it. People want to be inspired. That made me think about this dairy producer again.
If I really wanted to help this person, I couldn't just explain HOW to manage price risk. I would have to help him see WHY. For me, the WHY is very simple: I believe that no agricultural producer should be a victim of volatility. There are tools to help you take control. You don't have to be beaten down by economic forces outside the farm. I believe that in my heart of hearts. That's my WHY.
To remain an optimist in a business full of uncertainty and the never-ending drive to be more efficient, you have to know WHY you do it. Making money isn't enough of a WHY. It needs to be something like, "carry on my Dad's dream" or "provide opportunity for my kids" or "be the best employer in my community" or "retire and travel." And yet, in order for those big life goals to be achieved, your business has to make money. The WHY inspires you to figure out HOW.
If you're down about input prices, politics, employee issues or other business pressures, think about your WHY. Recommit to your business, and then seek out the help you need to figure out HOW to remain profitable and achieve all the things you want to achieve. Above all, don't give up. Your WHY is out there.
It seems that many people in agriculture have a deeply rooted WHY. Can you express yours? Send me an email and let me know, or post it here.

Some of the top executives at Amazon are touring the world right now, attending sales conferences and trying to persuade smaller businesses to store their data in Amazon's massive cloud operations.
Those businesses are looking to reduce their own costs – and perhaps their own energy usage – by storing their information in the cloud instead of in their own office buildings. But what they may not realise is that with Amazon, they are getting a prospective new business partner who runs a dirty cloud powered by coal.
So today, Greenpeace Germany brought that message to one of Amazon's conferences, using balloons to float a message to Amazon's executives that it should clean up its cloud by powering it with clean energy, not coal.
Amazon's customers got the message too. They asked questions, took photos, and thanked use for informing them about the issue. Many said they were shocked and would reconsider whether or not to do business with Amazon.
"This is really important. I have good contacts within Amazon, and will actually ask them how they plan to change this," one representative told the activists.
Unfortunately, Amazon has so far not shown the slightest inclination that it feels like listening.
Since Greenpeace started its Clean Our Cloud campaign in April, we've seen responses from Apple and Microsoft in which both companies are talking a lot more about adopting clean energy.
Both Microsoft and Apple have a long way to go before they power their data centres with clean energy, but their executives' statements show that they are at least considering the demands of the hundreds of thousands of customers who have asked for that.
Unfortunately, Amazon is not paying attention, doesn't listen or doesn't care what it's customers think, as the company has yet to offer a substantive response.
The stakes are high for Amazon, whose cloud services are massive. The company won't say exactly how many servers it has, but a recent study estimated that one third of all daily internet users will access an Amazon AWS cloud site on average at least once a day.
If you used a web service like Netflix, Pinterest, Dropbox or Instagram today, you were routed through Amazon's cloud platform.
Unfortunately, 64% of the electricity Amazon uses for that massive cloud operation comes from dirty coal and dangerous nuclear power.
Amazon just doesn't seem to be paying attention to the mounting pressure on tech companies to clean up its act and risks falling to the bottom of the tech sector for having the dirtiest cloud of all.
Come on Amazon, you can do better!

Well, the module 'asus-nb-wmi' which takes care of some FN keys and keyboard backlight stopped being auto-loaded after the latest kernel udpate (3.9.3), so I had to add it to /etc/modules-load.d/ to get it working. This has happened before, between kernel updates and I had to re-install arch to fix it, but now I found that manually adding the module is a nice solution, but I want it to be loaded automatically or at least know why does this happen. Kernel modules, such as this one, should be loaded automatically right?
Best regards.

A kernel module wasn't loading automatically so you re-installed your operating system?!?! That seems like a bit overkill to me.
Anyway, no one can answer your question with the information you provided. Is there some kind of searching ito the problem that you might have done on your own? Have you gathered any evidence of what is happening? Have you looked through the logs? Have you searched with the google to see if there are others who experience this as well?
In short, you need at least give some kind of info about the situation besides "Its broken, why is it doing this?"
This solved topic talks about the exact same problem. As you can see, the module stopped loading after the kernel update and the solution is to manually add it to /etc/modules-load.d
I already got my FN keys & keybaord backlight working with that solution, but I want to know why the module stopped being auto-loaded in first place, that's why I created this topic.
I would be pleased to post more relevant information, could you give some guidelines so I can do it?
Best regards.
I have a new problem, now the module (asus-nb-wmi) is not being loaded, even with the file in /etc/modules-load.d/
This is the output systemctl status shows:
systemd-modules-load.service - Load Kernel Modules
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-modules-load.service; static)

and the output that journalctl shows:

May 26 01:11:04 aghost systemd-modules-load[153]: Failed to insert 'asus_nb_wmi': No such device
Looks like the module is not being located, but I can load the same module after the system boots.
Best regards.
I solved the problem by adding 'asus-nb-wmi' to the MODULES array in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
But now I wonder why I need to add this module manually? Before it was being loaded automatically. Some help would be appreciated.

I think there is a valid question here; Same thing happened to me.
Upon a default install of arch, the module was auto-loaded without the user touching any configuration files
at some point during kernel updates, the module is no longer auto-loaded
the user then has to find out what is happening and go add the module to the appropriate config file to force load on boot.
So the larger question is; without config files being taken into consideration, how does the kernel decide what modules to load? f
I know it has something to do with the hardware that it detects, but am unaware if this is something within the RC or systemctl booting system, or if this is part of the kernel.
I'm going to dig around some more on the internet, as i'm sure the answer is out there somewhere.. but if someone that is on this forum happens to read and know the answer, it would be nice to know
This is certainly a valid question, and unfortunaetly, I do not know the answer. But what I find very curious is that the module does not load when under normal circumstances, and then wouldn't even load when being put in /etc/modules-load.d by the OP. Though when included in the initramfs, it is loaded. Modules within the initramfs are still in a situation where they are autodetected then loaded, and as such you can include just about every module you want in there and it will only load what is needed with udev (the fallback kernel is exactly this). So what is the difference between udev in the initramfs and systemd (also udev) in the normal environment... odd.
Weirdly enough, for me it gets loaded when in /etc/modules-load.d but still gives an error 'module not found'.

I think there is a valid question here; Same thing happened to me.

I once ran into a similar issue with a module. It turns out in the kernel update the module now had an extra module it depended on in the new kernel, but not in the old. When updating the kernel with pacman, it builds the initcpio using the modules loaded in the old kernel, so it doesn't realize the other module needs to go with it.
For me the solution was to load the module manually after boot, and then rerun mkinitcpio which now detected the extra module and added to the initcpio automatically.
Weirdly enough, for me it gets loaded when in /etc/modules-load.d but still gives an error 'module not found'.
I'm having the same problem. I'm on a fresh install using Kernel Version 3.10.10-1, I add the module to /etc/modules-load.d/asus_nb_wmi.conf - It loads but complains on boot the the module hasn't been found, however this is the only way I can get it to actually load automatically. If I add it to the modules section of /etc/mkinitcpio.conf it doesn't load.
Without this module my screen brightness doesn't work. Any one have any idea why this might be? The error on boot is quite annoying and I'm interested in learning from this.

Who's Tesla?
Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) was the genius who lit the world, whose discoveries in the field of alternating polyphase current electricity advanced the United States and the rest of the world into the modern industrial era.
Nikola Tesla had 700 patents in the US and Europe. Tesla's discoveries include the Tesla Coil, fluorescent light, wireless transmission of electrical energy, radio, remote control, discovery of cosmic radio waves and use of ionosphere for scientific purposes.
Nikola Tesla was a New Yorker, who lived and worked in New York City almost 60 years and died at Hotel New Yorker, in Manhattan, on January 7, 1943.
We here at the Tesla Memorial Society of New York want the world to know of Tesla. Tesla's impact on our civilization is tremendous, and his memory should be kept alive.
In 1917, Tesla was awarded the Edison Medal, the most coveted electrical prize in the United States.
Nikola Tesla's name has been honored with an International Unit of Magnetic Flux Density called "Tesla".
The United States Postal Service honored Tesla with a commemorative stamp in 1983.
Tesla was inducted into the Inventor's Hall of Fame in 1975.
The Nikola Tesla Award is one of the most distinguished honors presented by the Institute of Electrical Engineers. The award has been given annually since 1976.
The Nikola Tesla Award is presented annually since 1968, at the Area Power Conference, Duluth, Minnesota. The award is furnished by Siemens Westinghouse Power Corporation.
The Nikola Tesla Statue is located on Goat Island to honor the man whose inventions were incorporated into the Niagara Falls Power Station in 1896. Tesla is known as the inventor of the polyphase alternating current.
The Nikola Tesla Corner Sign located at the intersection of 40th Street and 6th Avenue in Manhattan, is a constant reminder to all New Yorkers of the greatness of this genius.
Many of the new technologies in the world today, are based on Tesla's ideas. Tesla spent 50 years of his life to find a way for interplanetary communications, especially with Mars. He is the first scientist in the world to use the Ionosphere for scientific purposes (The Ionosphere is the upper part the atmosphere under constant bombardment of solar energy, which breaks down molecules into ions causing an ionized shield of our atmosphere, very important for radio communications).
Nikola Tesla is a unifying force for the people of the Balkans, and the people of the previous Austro-Hungary Empire (an area of Europe devoted to science and progress). Every child in the Balkans knows about Tesla.
The Tesla Memorial Society of New York is proposing that Tesla's birthday, July 10th, be proclaimed by the United Nations "Nikola Tesla Day". This day will signify a day of science, cosmos explorations, and brotherhood among nations and religions around the world.
We are asking all Tesla admirers and all governments around the world to support the idea of "Nikola Tesla Day".
The World Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893 was the World's Fair commemorating 400 years since Chrstopher Columbys set foot in the New World. This was the first great victory of Tesla's Alternating Current Electricity. Tesla and George Westinghouse started the electrification of the globe.

Tesla Unit
Tesla Unit for magnetic flux density equation (T=W/m2) on Serbian money.
Tesla = Weber/m²
Nikola Tesla's name has been honored with the international unit of magnetic flux density called "Tesla". All magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines are calibrated with Tesla Unit (from .2 Tesla to 9 Tesla). MRI machines work on the principle of a homogeneous magnet field. Nikola Tesla discovered the Rotating Magnetic Field in Budapest, 1882. The Tesla Unit for magnetism was established in 1956 in the Rathaus of Munich, Germany by the International Electrotechnical Commission Committee in Action.
Because of the tremendous importance of the MRI technology and widespread use of the MRI machines around the world, which are all calibrated in Tesla Units, Tesla's name connected with the MRI will be known more and more in the future and the years to come.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is extremely important for medical diagnosis of internal organs of the human body, especially the diagnosis of cancer, tumors, degenerative diseases of the brain and spinal cord. The modern diagnosis of the internal organs of the human body would be today unthinkable without MRI. MRI machines are widespread with many variations in size and capacity all around the world. The revenue of MRI machines sales was 1.46 billion dollars in 2002. Revenue for MRI machine sales is expected to increase in the following years.
MRI employs a strong homogeneous magnetic field and specific radio frequency to which many elements, especially hydrogen nuclei respond with radio frequency signals. These signals are analyzed by computer reconstruction algorithms. The healthy tissue and pathological tissue have different radio frequency signals and produce different images on MRI. Therefore enable us to make diagnosis of pathological tissues of the body.
MRI has the advantage over CT scan, it uses no ionizing radiation and does not cause cumulative harm. The only contraindication of those related to the high magnetic field. Magnetic-sensitive objects like pacemakers, watched and magnetic tapes are contraindicated.

Let me begin by stating unequivocally that I have never seen any of the traits described in this posting in the regular contributors (nor even the occasional ones) to our HealthTalk Life with MS blog community. Have you ever run across the "know-it-all?" You know, the guy or gal who has done, seen, tasted, smelled, tried, succeeded at (hardly ever failed – at anything), studied and experienced whatever topic was at hand? And have you noticed that KIAs (might as well give them a name, right?) usually have opinions about a subject that are opposite yours on just about everything?
How about the MS know-it-all or KIA?
I've run into KIAs that will tell me that they have cured their MS – and attempt to make me feel bad for not curing mine. Or KIAs who have told me that my disease-modifying drug of choice isn't the best because (fill in the blank). How about the KIAs who know everything about MS because their great-aunt's cousin by marriage had MS…when they were a kid?
I've recently run into a KIA (not the MS type) in my life, and I just don't have the energy for him. I guess it's partly because one of the things I've learned from MS is to budget my energy, and this guy is just not worth the effort. Still, a little part of me – the part that lay awake for three hours last night thinking about it – wants for this person to see his error and understand that in his short life, there is no way to support such arrogance. Well, that and to have him seriously put in his place.
I've been doing a lot of reading – of late, on other MS blogs. There are some very good sources of information, intellect and emotion out there on the Web. There is also an overwhelming abundance of KIAs. Where do people come off?
I suppose, if I were to go back and read the past two years of blog entries, I might see a KIA in myself on occasion. If that were ever the case, I apologize!
I guess it all comes down to a core principle to which I adhere: I don't know that much. I know that I am a sentient being and that I am capable of love. Other than that, it's just a system of beliefs. So, I guess when a KIA tells me that they know something that is contrary to something which I have grown to believe, it makes it more of a personal affront.
One positive about MS is that I can stop any KIA in his/her path of logical argument by saying: "Excuse me, I have to go give myself an injection."
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

Bringing NASCAR back to Rockingham
"I've always wanted a track, and I was looking for one for a long time," says 1995 ARCA Series Champion and owner of Fast Track High Performance Driving School, Andy Hillenburg. "When Rockingham went on the auction block I jumped at it. I've been at this thing (the school and racing) for 25 years. And I have 25 years of ideas in my head. I had to have my own track to see them through to reality."
Rockingham, or The Rock as it is more commonly called, was known for years officially as North Carolina Motor Speedway. Opened on Halloween 1965 the 1-mile medium banked (22 degrees Turns 1 and 2; 25 degrees Turns 3 and 4) oval hosted two NASCAR Cup Series races annually from 1966 through the 2004 season. The track fell victim to NASCAR's march west toward newer markets and bigger tracks. Speedway Motorsports, Bruton Smith's track empire, held title to the facility when it closed in 2004. It sat dormant for three years before it was put up for auction and Hillenburg submitted the winning bid.
The former driver went immediately to work building a half-mile flat oval behind the main facility. That track, dubbed Little Rock, is modeled after Martinsville Speedway and is unique in that instead of a traditional guardrail around the outside of the track, it uses gravel traps similar to road courses. Hillenburg said this is for both safety and economy. A car sliding into a sand trap will not suffer the same damage as one smacking a concrete wall.
"Really, Rockingham is a multi-purpose motorsports facility," says Hillenburg. "We've got the main track–which also has a road course, Little Rock, and a quarter-mile track that is perfect for Legends and Bandeloros."
Hillenburg envisions a track that not only hosts major motorsports events but is a mecca for aspiring race car drivers. "With the two smaller tracks behind the main track, I can literally train a young racer from his or her Legends days all the way up to the upper echelons of stock car racing in America through Fast Track's different educational programs."
Richmond County, where the track is located, is one of the poorest counties in the State of North Carolina which makes selling out the 60,000-seat racetrack a daunting task in this economy. However, when you consider the track is located just a couple hours from Columbia, South Carolina, or Raleigh, North Carolina, you begin to get the picture that with some savvy promotion Hillenburg could bring the Rock back to its former glory and beyond. And that's just his plan. Beyond the estimated multi-million dollar economic impact that the Truck race will bring to the area, what Hillenburg is building at The Rock should bring a new level of prosperity to the depressed region.
We'll be following along on Hillenburg's exploits as he builds educational programs through his school that will benefit racers of all ages. But in the meantime, he has a race to run.
So you wanna go?
The Good Sam Roadside Assistance 200 takes place on April 15, 2012, but there is plenty to do beforehand. In addition to the Camping World Truck Series event on Sunday, Hillenburg is hosting a double header on Saturday featuring twin 75-lap races with the UARA Stock Cars and Frank Kimmel's Street Stock Nationals which will be followed by a concert by Little Texas. Practice for all divisions takes place on Friday with free admission for fans. Reserved camping begins at noon on April 11 but there is also an area located off of Highway 177 for free camping. Tickets for Saturday are $15 for adults and $5 for kids 12 and under. Sunday's tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for the kids. Contact Rockingham's ticket office at 910/205-8800 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Saturday for more information or to purchase tickets.

Generation Park to bring more than 100,000 jobs to Lake Houston area
Construction will soon begin on a new 3,924-acre master-planned commercial development in the Lake Houston area - called Generation Park.
"We expect people to be reporting to work there in the next 18 to 24 months," said Ryan McCord, president of McCord Development Inc., the developer of the property.
Construction will begin in the first and second quarter of this year, McCord said.
"It's going to turn some heads in terms of the level of activity coming to Generation Park," McCord said.
"In another five to 10 years, Generation Park will be accepted as one of Houston's main economic centers," McCord said. "Generation Park will be synonymous with quality and planning in the region. That's really our goal. We are very excited about it."
100,000 jobs
Upon completion of the entire development, McCord expects Generation Park to bring more than 100,000 jobs to the area.
The development, which will have more than 1 million trees, jogging and exercise trails and natural water features, is located at the northeast corner of Beltway 8 and Sam Houston Tollway. Generation Park will target companies focused on reducing the cost of energy.
"We have the opportunity to make a huge influence and our intent is to really raise the bar for what Houstonians will come to expect from new master-planned commercial business parks," McCord said.
"What we've been doing is laying out this framework and articulating the vision to prospective companies that are interested in coming to Generation Park," McCord said.
McCord Development acquired the land more than 20 years ago.
"It is important for the benefit of Houston and the region to be very thoughtful in our planning and do something great out here," McCord said.
"We are feeling the sense of responsibility in the long term. It's a huge piece of property and a huge footprint."
Generation Park is being built with the employees' convenience in mind, McCord said.
"We try to think about it from the ultimate employees' perspective," he said.
"They are going to be driving to work in Generation Park.
"We try to think about what that's going to be like 30 years from now and how can we prevent simple things like traffic congestion."
"We are thinking about how can we shave time off a persons daily drive and locate some of the basic amenities close to their place of work - dining, banking, child development," McCord said. "We are trying to get these services into central hubs to save folks time."
Different districts
In addition, he said, the developers are working to make Generation Park a beautiful environment.
There will be different districts within the park, some with a very urban, energized feel, with tall buildings and restaurants for lunch or after work socializing, and other areas will have parks and green space and opportunities for more private settings.
Convenience and accessibility in the Lake Houston area have helped to continue its trend as one of the fastest growing areas in Houston.
The opening of Beltway 8 has made the area popular with corporate employees who want an easy commute to downtown.
In addition, the area is close to the port of Houston and George Bush Intercontinental Airport, making it attractive for frequent travelers, said Charlie Dromgoole, president of the Lake Houston Area Chamber of Commerce.
Employment center
"There's a huge residential population base to the north and east and even south, but really no commercial center in the Lake Houston area," McCord said.
"We look at it from a development 101-analysis - what's missing? An employment center."
"We are effectively adjacent to brand-new master-planned residential communities," he said.
"There is a significant inventory of residential development to the north of us.
"What that means is your employees will be able to buy a home within a few minutes of their workplace."
There are 1.25 million people living within 20 minutes of Generation Park, McCord said.
Lake Houston is situated between Huffman and Crosby on the east and Kingwood, Humble and Atascocita on the west.
The schools are a big draw, serving an area where 30.1 percent of the region is younger than age 18, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Several new schools opened in the last few years - Atascocita Springs Elementary School and Woodcreek Middle School in 2010, Summer Creek High School and Lakeshore Elementary School in 2009, and Atascocita High School in 2006.
Generation Park is in the Sheldon Independent School District.
The area also has a 30,000-square-foot Memorial Hermann Convenient Care Center and the Lone Star College-Atascocita Center.
Residents have a significantly higher income than the rest of Texas.
The Census Bureau figures report a median household income of $150,700, which is $27,000 higher than the state.
Per capita income was $30,809 in 2010, $6,000 higher than the Texas average.

Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir told southerners during a visit to Juba on Tuesday he would celebrate the result of Sunday's referendum on southern independence, "even if you choose secession." "I personally will be sad if Sudan splits.
But at the same time I will be happy if we have peace in Sudan between the two sides," Bashir said, according to AFP. "I am going to celebrate your decision, even if your decision is secession." On his arrival at Juba airport, the president was given a red carpet welcome by southern leader Salva Kiir, senior politicians, religious leaders and a guard of honour from the combined armed forces of north and south Sudan.
In his speech, Bashir cobveyed unity was the best choice for southerners. "Anything you need in terms of technical, logistical or professional support from Khartoum, you will find us ready to give it," he said.

Hi everyone, I just stumbled upon this site. I have been an atheist for quite some time now, but have just decided I needed to "talk" about it publicly. The current political scene in the U.S. can do that to someone....so I hopped online a few weeks back, found some blogs, like some, started one myself and eventually found my way here.
Views: 230
Welcome! :)
Welcome......will check out your blog. :)
Hey there -- I hope you enjoy the site!
Thanks everyone what a great welcome.
me too. I have been an atheist for many years but just about few months ago I started to search for forums, sites like this to talk to people of the same belief.
Yeah its been a ton of fun so far. I have been able to hop in and have some nice conversations, and received some nice comments on my blog--ways to make it better and new ways to look at some stuff--overall, it has been a great experience so far.

Nexsan unparks iSCSI attack on EMC and NetApp
Spinning vitualised storage down
Nexsan has introduced SAN support with the iSeries, a virtualising iSCSI head sitting on top of its SATA and SAS arrays, which include AutoMAID spin-down technology.
Nexsan is most well-known for its power-saving SATABeast arrays offering up to 42TB of capacity in a 4U box. There is also the smaller SATABoy (14TB in 3U). The company has also introduced SASBeast (18.9TB in 4U) and SASBoy (4.2TB in 3U) boxes for performance-focussed applications. Its AutoMAID technology saves power with three levels of progressively increased savings:-
- Level 1 parks the head off the platter for a 20 per cent saving and response time of less than 1 second
- Level 2 reduces the hard drive spin rate to 4,000rpm for a 40 per cent saving. Response time is 14-15 seconds
- Level 3 stops the drive spinning which saves 60 per cent of the power but delays I/O for almost half a minute
This power-saving scheme has been applied to long-term storage of file data - the SATA products, then to shorter-term storage of data needing faster access - the SAS products, and to two-tier arrays needing both kinds of storage. Now Nexsan has extended its use to block-level storage with the iSeries head. It enables Nexsan to offer a fairly unified iP SAN, FC SAN and NAS storage access scheme.
The iSeries head has dual active-active controllers in a cluster pair offering five 'nines' availability and RAID 5 and 6 protection. It virtualises the Nexsan storage behind it, ofering support for thousands of virtual volumes and storage pools abstracted from a single capacity pool. Any Nexsan SATA or SAS storage attached to the iSeries is automatically seen and incorporated in this pool. Each such incorporated array has its own controller with 4GB of cache and four RAID engines meaning that both performance and capacity scale together.
The software includes snapshots, local synchronous mirroring, asynchronous replication to a remote iSeries, and data migration from one tier of storage to another. These features are all-included in the purchase price with no layered software add-on prices.
The product is VMware-certified and a 4TB low-end iSeries will cost around $25,000. The product is aimed at small-to-medium enterprises and so competes with EMC's upgrade Celerra products, also launched today, and NetApp's FAS products. While they don't include any spin-down support, the Nexsan product doesn't include any de-duplication or compression. The company does has single file instancing in its Assureon archive and compliance product though. Perhaps we should watch this space.
Nexsan's main competitor in the spin-down array stakes is Copan which just received an $18.5m cash injection from its fifth financing round. Copan CEO Mark Ward hopes that Copan will become profitable by the mid-year point. ®

Sesame Workshop is calling on the Obama campaign to pull an advertisement, which casts Mitt Romney as a villainous Big Bird-attacker, citing its non-partisanship.
The narrator of the 30-second ad, released Tuesday on national cable networks, introduces Romney as the only man who "has the guts" to speak the name of the "evil genius" who towered over the likes of Bernie Madoff and Ken Lay.
"Big. Yellow. A menace to our economy," the ominous voice-over says. "Mitt Romney knows it's not Wall Street you have to worry about. It's Sesame Street."
Sesame Workshop responded Tuesday with a statement on its blog.
"Sesame Workshop is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization and we do not endorse candidates or participate in political campaigns," the statement said. "We have approved no campaign ads, and as is our general practice, have requested that the ad be taken down."
The ad comes after Romney repeated during the first presidential debate last week a promise he has made before—that if elected president he would cut federal funding to the Public Broadcast Service in order to cut the nation's deficit.
"I'm sorry Jim, I'm going to stop the subsidy to PBS," Romney said last Wednesday to debate moderator and PBS anchor Jim Lehrer. "I'm going to stop other things. I like PBS, I love Big Bird. I actually like you too, but I'm not going to keep spending money on things to borrow money from China to pay for them."
The comment generated a social media uproar, spawning satirical Twitter accounts and a series of Photoshopped images that featured a down-and-out Big Bird alongside a grinning Romney.
On Tuesday, an Obama spokesperson called the response "a strong grassroots outcry."
"This is something that mothers across the country are alarmed about and we're tapping into that," Jen Psaki said. "...The larger point here is that this is about priorities and choices. And when your first offering for your plans to bring down the deficit is a combination of a $5 trillion tax cut for millionaires and billionaires and cutting funding to Big Bird, it's hard to take your plan seriously."
Psaki added that the Obama campaign is "reviewing" Sesame Workshop's request to pull the ad.
On Tuesday Romney broke his silence on the issue telling a crowd in Iowa that "you have to scratch your head when the president spends the last week talking about saving Big Bird," according to The Associated Press.
A Romney spokeswoman, Amanda Henneberg, offered additional criticism, accusing the president in a statement of focusing on less serious matters "with 23 million people struggling for work, incomes falling, and gas prices soaring."

This year, our own CEO and Owner of FiltersFast.com, Ray Scardigno, will once again participate in the Charlotte, NC Chapter's Xtreme Hike, on April 26, 2014. Having a personal connection to the cause and having made a commitment to help fight for a cure, Ray, representing� Team FiltersFast.com, and a group of dedicated hikers, will join together on a one day hike over 30 miles, to raise awareness and funds to support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
Each year, roughly 1000 people are diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, nearly One way the CF Foundation raises money is by holding a series of events across the U.S. known as the Cystic Fibrosis Xtreme Hike. Hikers embark on a journey across some of the most scenic terrain in the country, all with one goal and purpose in mind: to bring awareness to Cystic Fibrosis and raise money to search for a cure.
Approximately 30,000 people in the United States are currently living with Cystic Fibrosis with up to ten million more being carriers of the defective CF gene. Cystic Fibrosis causes devastating damage to the lungs, sometimes leading to fatal infections, and digestive tract, preventing food from being absorbed and used properly.all, being under two years of age. Not long ago, as recent as the 1950's, most children diagnosed with the disease did not live to see elementary school.

'Accomplice' tops our roundup of theater events this season in San Diego
For a playgoer, "Accomplice: San Diego" promises to bring a whole new meaning to the term "plot."
That's because instead of following one, you'll be a conspirator in one: a seamy criminal scheme playing out on the streets of Little Italy.
Not a real one, of course — unless things really go off-script in this deliberately unpredictable theatrical event brought to you by La Jolla Playhouse.
"Accomplice" is the latest in the theater's "Without Walls" series of site-specific shows, and it puts participants in the service of mysterious, shady doings as they stroll around the neighborhood near downtown San Diego.
"It's a crime story where you are aiding and abetting a series of sort of low-rent criminals from different walks of life," explains Tom Salamon, who developed the concept about eight years ago with his sister, Betsy Salamon-Sufott.
"You're playing the accomplice to this plot. (But) you're just sort of playing yourself" — a dupe recruited by wrongdoers to deliver messages and generally move the whole dodge along.
The first two New York versions of "Accomplice" were much-buzzed happenings and attracted the attention of the Broadway and TV star
In the Little Italy iteration (whose plot is largely borrowed from "Accomplice: New York"), even the starting location is secret: Playgoers get that information in a phone call, before heading out in groups of 10 on a clue-seeking stroll of a mile or so. (The event is for those 21 and older only.)
Much of the fun, Salamon says, stems from the fuzzy line between what's part of the show and what's endemic to the urban environment. Participants might find themselves asking, is that just graffiti or some kind of clue? Is that guy in the hat an actor or a random passer-by?
"Those are the best things to happen," he says. "The whole thing is designed to make you feel that everyone's an extra in the story."
What — a play that doesn't promise to end the same way twice? There oughta be a law.
"Accomplice: San Diego"
When: Preview performances every half-hour, 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. March 26-28. Then, regular performances every half-hour, 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesdays-Fridays, and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays-Sundays. Through April 21.
Where: Secret meeting location, to be divulged via phone call
Tickets: $35-$45

Old Globe Shakespeare Festival
The annual tradition returns with two Shakespeare works and one modern play that draws deeply from the Bard. As always, the three will run in nightly rotation. The lineup: "A Midsummer Night's Dream," the Globe's 10th production of the romantic saga (the first was in the theater's inaugural year of 1935); "The Merchant of Venice," with Globe favorite Miles Anderson returning to star as the moneylender Shylock; and Tom Stoppard's "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead," the first time in four decades that the Globe has staged Tom Stoppard's
"Becoming Cuba"
NCRT commissioned the Boston-based playwright Melinda Lopez to write this world-premiere work, set in war-torn Cuba during the late 19th century. Its story of a struggling family takes in ghosts that talk to the audience — including the spirits of everyone from a conquistador to Teddy Roosevelt. May 29 to June 23. North Coast Repertory Theatre. (858) 481-1055 or northcoastrep.org
"American Idiot"
The powerful alt-rock opera, based on the music of Green Day, hits the Civic Theatre in a touring production. It's a hard-driving, dialogue-free piece that tells a modern story of youth disillusionment and suburban ennui. The eye-catching, obsessively detailed set won a Tony Award for Christine Jones (who also was the scenic designer for the La Jolla Playhouse-commissioned "Hands on a Hardbody," now on Broadway). May 28 to June 2. Broadway/San Diego (at the Civic Theatre). (619) 570-1100 or broadwaysd.com
"Federal Jazz Project"
The Rep's world-premiere work teams playwright and Culture Clash co-founder
"Other Desert Cities"
Jon Robin Baitz's edgy family saga, set in Palm Springs, had a strong run on Broadway in 2011. The local production's cast includes

Shoe's Cup & Cork
Sit upstairs if you can. Lovely room. Brunch was delicious! Only hiccup was one wrong flavor on my hot chocolate flight. But it's a hot chocolate flight, so still worth every penny.
I used to love going to this place. Today, the food was not very good and the hostess was rather rude. I ordered the chicken panini, and it tasted and looked like dark meat turkey. It was the day after Thanksgiving, so I'm almost certain the ingredients were swapped without saying anything to the customers. Probably won't be going back.
Good morning Melody, Thank you for the constructive feedback. I apologize that you had this experience. Regarding the food ingredients, we roast whole chickens and hand pull them each day, resulting in a mixture of light and dark meat chicken. While I am sorry you did not enjoy your panini, I can assure you we do not swap ingredients with leftovers from holiday meals.
Service, although polite, was extremely slow and the burgers were dry and had no flavor. Took an hour and a half to get 2 burgers and a salmon salad.
Outdoor space is good but food and service inside was meh. Not going back again inside.
Ambiance and service were excellent. Food was fair. A basket of biscuits arrived cold and toast and eggs were cold as well.
Loved this place. Excellent staff. Lovely setting and great food!
A dear friend is looking to move to the area and asked to meet for brunch. Knew Shoes would be the perfect location to showcase how fabulous Leesburg is so made the reservation. Parking was tough the day we were going so we were both a few minutes late. My friend arrived first and when I joined she had already been waiting several minutes for the hostess. I arrived at 5 minutes before noon - about 10 minutes late for the reservation - and waited for the hostess to seat the people ahead of us. When we finally got her attention we gave her the name and time of our original reservation. She spent a minute or two searching for it then very snarkily said that they only hold reservations for 15 minutes. I said I understood and reminded her that we had been standing at the hostess station for nearly 10 minute. She reluctantly sat us at one of the open tables but waited to provide menus. Things vastly improved once we were handed off to the waiter. From there on it was a wonderful afternoon in the garden. Fabulous food and drink in that beautiful in-town oasis.
Great spot and love the secret garden
First time here and we loved it! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone!
Friendly, professional service in a relaxing atmosphere.
The place is small, so quite noisy when crowded. Servers, although friendly, were slow - we waited over a half hour to order and then another 45 minutes after that to be served. Food was OK; would recommend only to someone who has LOTS of time.
Very pet friendly, our waiter we had for Sunday brunch immediately brought out cold water for the dogs and milk bones! Great spot for outdoor dining and cocktails.
The waitress was inattentive and the crab cakes were terr
Always love eating here.
Our first time here. Went on a Sunday morning and sat outside (beautiful day!). Outside courtyard was very nice. I'm glad that they didn't try to cram too many tables into the space, which makes it feel intimate without being crowded. Our server was outstanding: friendly, attentive, and very good at his job. The food was also very good; the muffins were fresh and moist, and my biscuit and gravy is the best I've had in the area. The breakfast potatoes were also top notch - hot, crispy, and not greasy. Since this was our first time, we can't speak to consistency, but we will definitely go back in the hopes that we've found our new local go-to spot!
Beautiful garden. Food was tasty. Server was attentive despite a very busy night
Great food, ambience and service. Would highly recommend.
My friend and I wanted to visit downtown Leesburg and were recommended Shoe's Cup & Cork. I opted for the Roasted Chicken Panini minus the Brie. To be honest, I wasn't impressed and probably won't be returning. My friend wasn't impressed with her BLT either. The waiter was nice until we made a minor complaint about one of our meals possibly containing cheese. She told us it wasn't cheese and when she finally decided to take it back to the kitchen, her face said it all. She came back with the plate and assured us it wasn't cheese. If it was or wasn't cheese, she could've handled the entire situation a bit better.
Nice place for a laid back lunch or dinner. Food was very good but not enough service staff for the member of patrons. Service was good but too long between table checks.
This restaurant never disappoints. Have been here several times with friends, family or just me and my husband. Great for every type of occasion or no occasion at all.
Our large party sat outside. The patio was delightful. Food and drinks are good.
The food was yummy, but didn't blow me away. It was quality food that I might've been able to make at home. However, the place is adorable! The secret garden and umbrellas for outdoor seating made the perfect atmosphere for a brunch date :) Excellent service too! Thank you
Visiting with out of town family
Today my husband and I went for our anniversary. We were greeted and promptly sat. Then another party came and sat directly next to us in a wide open room. Although we sat first, we weren't even asked if we wanted water or not until the table that was seated after us put in their order. It was awkward. Our server was not good. He had the entire room and didn't even check in with us. We were basically forgotten. I have eaten here before and had a great experience this time was upsetting and almost ruined our anniversary. Please properly train your servers and have better communication between your team to improve service.
This is a quaint and lovely spot to sit outside (different options, including couches, chairs and regular table seating). I've been here on 3 occasions, first 2x was to relax and enjoy a glass of wine. My husband and I ate here for the first time and enjoyed brunch on Sunday; it was outstanding! I had the salmon, caper, cream cheese scrambled eggs and my husband had one full of veggies...both were delish! The potatoes are fried golden and crisp...out of this world! Oh, and I recommend a Mimosa flight to accompany your brunch!
We LOVE the secret garden! The waitress was ok...not bad, but not great either. Overall, a very nice experience. Only place around you can eat outside w/o being in a parking lot!
Great place for my kids, pet and I. My teenagers and I loved the food. Furr baby given water and treats. We dined in the secret garden. Definitely on the family list of favs.
I love shoes cup & cork. Always friendly service and great food. Also very dog friendly!! Love the outside seating in the spring and summer.
Shoes is out go-to for a low key place with lite fare that always hits the spot.
Super cute and quirky. The food was very good and great service. I definitely want to go back and try their beer and wine selections.
Father's Day.
Great food with a unique and intimate setting. Their brunch is splendid.
Always a good time when we visit. I like taking friends and family here who have never experienced the restaurant.
Food is really average to borderline not good. Especially when compared to other Leesburg restaurants next door - Lightfoot, Oyster Bar, Wine Kitchen, Delirium etc.
Outside garden nice except when you have to sit in Boce Ball area & you want quiet. Great place though if you have kids they can play while you sit far away and let couples with no children watch your kids!
We had wonderful food for brunch. The wine selection was not the best, and the server was young and didn't offer much insight into popular dishes or drinks. Regardless, the back patio was darling and the food was great! The mimosas were fun and we will definitely be back!
It is a real mystery to me how this place gets such great reviews.
Service is unprofessional and sloppy. When making a reservation I added a request for an infant high-chair. The request was ignored. We asked for it while being seated, and … again were ignored. It took a few more requests to get it.
Young lady that served our table is a disgrace to waitering as a profession. When we ordered beverages, the waiter forgot to bring juice for our kid. We got it only after multiple requests. There was no explanation of the specials, and they were not even mentioned. It took an hour for us to get our simple order – poached eggs, omelet, and French fries with toasted cheeses sandwich. Even fine dining place cooks faster. During the wait time we were not offered anything even a bread basket. When we have finished the meal, waitress broad us a check, and asked if we are looking for something else hoping that we are not. She didn't bring us a dessert menu, and/or offered any coffee/tea. Since the service was really slow, they just hopped that we will leave ASAP to make space for the next unfortunate customer.
Food was really bad – tasteless, mostly cold, cheap.
Nice ambiance was the only good experience that we had there.
Strongly recommend NOT to go there.
Great service. Great ambiance. Great service. Great food.
Celebrated my birthday here and had such a wonderful time. They reserved a great spot outside in the garden area and it felt like we were having our own private party. We even had some rain, but the big umbrella over us helped us not get wet and keep enjoying being outside. The brunch was delicious (everyone cleared their plates), the service was awesome, and the price is very reasonable!
Great outdoor patio with delicious food!
Amazing food with an "at-home" feeling and great service
