My father, born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1906, had a terrific memory for the hits of his youth and I grew up hearing "The Sheik of Araby", "When Frances Dances with Me", "Yes! We Have No Bananas", over and over. I would sometimes ask, "Who sang that song?" – a normal question for any pop listener born after 1950. But it made no sense to him. Everybody sang those songs; that was what a hit was. Record dealers assumed the average customer would be happy with any decent performance of a hit – just as casual buyers of classical music still shop primarily on the basis of the composition and composer.
The charm of garage bands, who often play the same songs (e.g., "Hey Joe"), lies in precisely their permitting listeners to reconnect to that era when the personalities of musicians didn't matter, and generic assumptions about them could suffice. There is the song and the attitude, but no faces and gossip.

This satisfying vegetarian sweet potato soup is inspired by the flavors of West African peanut soup. We like the added zip of hot green chiles, but they can sometimes be very spicy. It's best to take a small bite first and add them to taste. Try chopped peanuts and scallions for a different garnish. Serve with a mixed green salad with vinaigrette.

"The Blacklist" is a great show, and Netflix sure does know it.
Deadline originally reported that the streaming service bought the rights for the NBC hit from Sony TV for an incredible $2 million an episode — an insane $44 million total.
The highest price Netflix had previously paid was $1.35 million per episode for AMC's "The Walking Dead," and $900,000 per episode for Fox's "New Girl."
Netflix has gotten pretty friendly with Sony TV over the years, especially after "Breaking Bad" became one of its biggest hits, and Netflix already has dibs on the prequel, "Better Call Saul."
WATCH: Jessica Biel's butt causes an earthquake after a dance-off on New Girl
"The Blacklist," which stars James Spader as a well-connected criminal who partners with an FBI agent (Megan Boone) to track down other criminals, premiered to 12.5 million viewers last year, and averaged around 10.5 million throughout its first season.
"The Blacklist" returns to NBC on September 22 at 10 p.m., but in the meantime, you'll be able to catch up on season 1 when it debuts on Netflix next weekend.

GRAHAM � More than 100 people gathered to pray and protest legalized abortion at a candlelight vigil Wednesday night in Courthouse Square.
Alamance County Right to Life holds the vigil each year on the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision, which struck down state laws banning abortion in 1973. Wednesday was the 41st anniversary of the ruling.
Dennis Riddell, state representative for House District 64, which includes much of Alamance County, was the featured speaker. He said the government�s responsibility is �to protect the God-given right� to life, enumerated in the Declaration of Independence as the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.
�Elective abortion is wrong,� Riddell said. �Life is a gift from God.�
He thanked the crowd for supporting more restrictive regulations on abortion in North Carolina, which the General Assembly has passed over the last few years.
Those new laws included the requirement that a pregnant woman have an ultrasound and a physician describe the image to her before an abortion. Last week, a federal judge in Greensboro struck that requirement down as a violation of a health care provider�s free-speech rights.
Amy Huffman, with Alamance County Right to Life, said Roe v. Wade and other court decisions in favor of access to abortion cheat the democratic process. Huffman cited statistics that showed more than 55 million abortions have been performed in the U.S. since the 1973 ruling.
�We are here tonight to remember, to mourn and to pray,� she said. �Thank you for your willingness to stand here on this frigid night to pray for change.�
The vigil ended with the crowd circling the courthouse for several minutes of silent prayer.

The commander of the Special Operations Division of the District of Columbia police department was apparently unaware of the police escort provided to actor Charlie Sheen last week.
In an email obtained Monday by The Associated Press, Commander Hilton Burton demands details about the escort given to Sheen on the way to his performance at DAR Constitution Hall.
In the email, Burton wrote that questions about the Sheen escort are why they should not be provided to just anyone. He also demands to know how it was approved and seeks other logistical information.
Sheen posted on Twitter last Tuesday night that he had received an escort and included a picture of a speedometer registering about 80 mph. Police Chief Cathy Lanier has said several policies appear to have been violated.

2013 Alumni Survey
The primary purpose of the 2013 CSUB Alumni Study was to provide decision makers with objective data which would enable them to make informed choices and decisions concerning fundraising and the future direction and growth of the CSUB Alumni Association. The goal of the online survey and the focus group sessions was to assess demographics, attitudes, experiences, and perceptions of CSUB alumni and to use the data to assist with future alumni activities and fundraising objectives and initiatives.
In an effort to establish an objective data set, data were collected through two primary sources. First, an online/e-mail methodology was utilized to administer a survey questionnaire. Second, three independent focus groups were completed with CSUB alumni.
To accomplish the alumni project, Price Research worked closely with the Office for University Advancement. Price Research was responsible for the survey questionnaire design, moderating the focus group sessions, and all data analysis and presentation. The Office of University Advancement was responsible for identifying the alumni e-mail addresses, administering the survey instrument (via Survey Monkey), recruiting the focus group participants, and providing all logistical assistance required to host the focus group sessions.
The e-mail questionnaire was sent to approximately 12,000 available CSUB Alumni e-mail addresses. Several follow-up e-mail participation reminders were sent to encourage maximum participation. From the 12,000 available e-mail addresses, 1,957 surveys were completed. This was a response rate of 16.3%. A response rate of 16.3% was higher than expected. An industry response rate for an alumni online/e-mail survey is approximately 10% - 12%. In addition, more than 200 of the participants indicated a desire/willingness to participate in follow-up focus group sessions.
Three distinct focus group sessions were conducted on September 30th, October 7th, and October 9th. A total of thirty-seven alumni participated in the focus group sessions. In each session, a few focus group members participated in the focus group via telephone from areas outside of Kern County.

Tech Update
High-Power Laser is Service Centers Big Dog in a Competitive Dogfight
With operations in Lexington and three Michigan locations, Harbor Steel traditionally has served the furniture and automotive markets; it recently added a new service center in Pritchard, WV, primarily to serve customers in construction and mining.
"Turnaround times are deal-breakers these days," says Heneveld. "We have a window in which to service our customers, and that window closes a little more each day. We used to have seven to 10 days to complete a job, but now if we can't turn an order around in 24 to 48 hr., the customers won't wait."
According to Heneveld, cutting speed was a key factor in the firm's decision to purchase the CL-840 cutting system. "We must be able to move in and out of thicknesses as fast as possible," he says, "and cut stainless, aluminum, carbon steel and galvanized material—whatever the customer needs." The machine features Cincinnati's third-generation linear-motor drive that allows cutting of 20-gauge steel at speeds to 1000 in./min. The laser's cutting head features AutoFocus lenses of 5, 7.5 and 10-in. focal length.
Says Harbor Steel regional sales manager Mike McDermott: "We have a customer that requires a -0.00/+0.001-in. tolerance for holes in ¼-in.-thick steel, and the Cincinnati laser's ability to meet this tolerance earned us the business."Cincinnati Inc.: 513/367-7100; http://www.e-ci.com/

The Scottish Roman Catholic parish records, which have been previously digitised and accessible either on the ScotlandsPeople website or at the ScotlandsPeople Centre in Edinburgh (www.scotlandspeoplehub.gov.uk), are now also available at the local family history centres across the country which provide access to the same computer system. Previously the records have only been accessible via the system in Edinburgh, making this yet another welcome development across the country for family historians.
Having been alerted to this yesterday, I have just contacted the Burns Monument Centre in Kilmarnock (www.burnsmonumentcentre.co.uk), which has confirmed that this is certainly happening there. I have also tried to confirm with Glasgow Genealogy Centre - but there is only so long you wait on the phone in a queue to the sounds of the same piece of classical music playing over and over! If you wish to access the Catholic records at your local family history/archive centre, I would advise you call in advance to double check that they too now have them.

The last batting spot for the England tour
by Razab Q. Chowdhury
Published: 28th March, 2005
Six batsmen appear to be set for the tour to England this May, barring injuries. Javed Omar has been discussed to death but at present, there are no experienced alternative openers for what is likely to be a critical tour in terms of Bangladesh's perception in the Test arena. Besides, the chief selector has already hinted to "not changing a winning team" in the local media. Hence, on a touring squad that should have 7 batsmen, the probables are:
JO BelimNafis AhmedHabibul BasharMd. AshrafulRajin SalehAftab Ahmed
There remains, thus the 7th spot. The debate seems to be focused between Tushar Imran & Manjurul Rana, with Shahriar Nafees mentioned by a few. What do the numbers tell though? The following chart includes Top 10 averages of those who have played at least three NCL rounds followed by at least two. The averages from the Duleep & Zim A tours are also included in the table.
If one merely uses performance in the away tours as a prominent factor, then Tushar appears to move ahead with a leading tour average of 39.17 in Zimbabwe's seamer friendly conditions (Musfique's average is aided by an outlier - his 111*). Tushar after all is a bona-fide batsmen. In addition, his occasional off-breaks provide much needed variety to the side's spin attack. The argument against Tushar has been his tendency to play one shot too many, an affliction, many other Bangladeshi batsmen suffer from. Perhaps as a result of this, Tushar lacks any recent centuries in the 1st class cricket.
His competitor, Rana also did fairly well against seamer dominated attacks in India. As usual, his performance was often in rear-guard situations, but an average of 30 when the nearest specialist batsmen are averaging 23 & 22, allows him to put his hands up to be included. However he is not a specialist batsmen, and his technique, especially against faster bowlers invites questions.
Once, however NCL performance is factored in, Rana stands out tall. Tushrar played one match and scored 0 & 68 respectively. Rana on the other hand has a big hundred, a few decent innings under pressure, and quite a healthy average. He is yet another SLA but his fastish darts with canny variations of pace may prove to be useful in early English summer conditions.
Obviously, a consideration in the use of averages is the Not Out factor. In the past, Rana, through sheer determination has often managed to outlast the tail while scoring few runs and drawing a rash of oohs and aahs from errant edges and near misses. However, in the matches considered here, Rana had 0 NOs out of 4 innings in the Duleep tour, and 2 NOs out of 6 innings in NCL. The averages in this situation seem indicative enough.
The numbers must now be put in context of the tour itself. The England tour will expose Bangladeshi batsmen to one of their many nemesis': the swinging / seaming balls. Recent performances notwithstanding, it is highly likely that Bangladesh will suffer top order collapses during the Test matches. On such situations, a grafter such as Rana might be preferable to a gifted strokeplayer like Tushar. Also, Rana's presence would add a much needed southpaw to the batting line up - something which could act to disrupt the bowling rhythm of the English bowlers (when the ball is bending round the corners, control is actually quite difficult).
At this point Shahriar Nafis must be discounted. While his performance in Zimbabwe was satisfactory, he is currently taking an extended break due to academic pursuits, and as such likely to lack match fitness to certain extent. More important, the coming English tour is not the best of tours to blood rank rookies.
It thus appears that the 7th batting spot of the tour should go to Manzurul Islam Rana. Until a few more of the talented under 19 batters graduate to the senior team (Mushfique, Shahriar could soon follow Nafis & Aftab), Rana - with his faulty but effective style and all, looks likely to force his way into the side.

Sebelius takeaways: 1 cranky hearing
What's the one thing worse than taking fire from Congress in a crowded hearing room? Taking fire from really cranky members of Congress in a half-empty hearing room.
That's what Kathleen Sebelius went through on Wednesday, as she parried Obamacare questions from a House subcommittee while much of Washington had moved on to other things. But in the hearing room, the Obamacare tensions were as high as ever, with Republicans and Democrats snapping at each other and one GOP lawmaker griping that trying to get answers out of the Health and Human Services secretary was like talking to North Korea.
Story Continued Below
Republicans did manage to put Sebelius on the spot, in her third visit to Capitol Hill since the bungled website launch, about how many people would actually have coverage in January and the possibility of more canceled policies. But some Republicans also drifted into overreach, and Democrats fought back with a renewed passion now that the website is improving.
( Also on POLITICO: Full health care policy coverage)
Here are the main takeaways from Sebelius's two-hour testimony before the House Energy and Commerce health subcommittee:
One cranky hearing
Sebelius is getting sick of these hearings, and so are some of the lawmakers themselves.
That much became clear at several points in the proceedings, as Sebelius came as close as she ever does to telling a couple of Republicans to shove it — and a Republican and a Democrat got into a shouting match over the frequent interruptions to her answers.
At one point, Sebelius showed her impatience as Ed Whitfield (R-Ky.) pressed her on how many pages of regulations had been issued on the health care law. "I just told you I don't know," Sebelius said, as he refused to drop the subject. She said she would "get you that number."
Later, Sebelius nearly lost her cool again as John Shimkus (R-Ill.) pushed her for a list of all the health plans in the Obamacare health exchanges that cover abortion. "Sir, it is on the website," she said, noting that all health plans have to disclose what benefits they cover.
( QUIZ: Do you know Kathleen Sebelius?)
That was around the time that Shimkus — after pushing another line of questioning about whether the law's preventive care services are actually free, since they're factored into people's premiums — muttered that talking to Sebelius was "like talking to the Republic of Korea." (Shimkus presumably meant North Korea, which is also known as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The Republic of Korea is actually South Korea, a close U.S. ally.)
And that's when Frank Pallone (D-N.J.) jumped in, scolding Shimkus for interrupting Sebelius's answers too much.
"I do not have to allow …" Shimkus started, rolling his eyes.
"You've got to let her answer the question!" Pallone yelled.
And Mike Burgess (R-Texas) lost his temper with Sebelius as he claimed the HealthCare.gov website wouldn't let him pay his first premium as he tried to sign up for coverage in Texas.
"I will tell you it's impossible. I have never seen a business transaction where you are told you can't make the payment. That is a flawed system," Burgess said.
Part I: Republicans draw blood
The whole session had the feel of a "me-too" hearing, since the full committee had already questioned Sebelius about six weeks ago. But Republicans proved they're a long way from running out of tough questions, as they grilled Sebelius on enrollment figures and canceled policies — as well as old GOP standbys like the murky legal authority for the federal Obamacare health exchange to give subsidies.
Subcommittee chairman Joe Pitts (R-Pa.) pressed Sebelius on the possibility that there could be a spike in the number of uninsured Americans on Jan. 1. He suggested that the new enrollment figures released Wednesday — showing that 365,000 people have signed up for private health coverage in the federal health exchange since Oct. 1 — are far short of the number of people who will have to replace individual insurance that has been canceled.
( PHOTOS: 12 Democrats criticizing the Obamacare rollout)
Sebelius said she doubts that will happen, arguing that many of those people have likely signed up for new policies offered by their insurers. "Losing coverage and being notified that your plan doesn't exist anymore are two different things," she said.
But she said it won't be clear until January how many of those 365,000 people have actually enrolled, as opposed to just selecting a plan, since people aren't officially enrolled in the private health plans until they've paid the first premium.
Pitts also got Sebelius to acknowledge that some small businesses could get similar cancellation notices next year — though Sebelius refused to concede that the law might be responsible.
"Yes sir, and again, insurers cancel plans every year. They change plans, they change networks," Sebelius said.
And Sebelius had to resort to legalese when some Republicans revived an old charge that the language of the Affordable Care Act doesn't specifically allow subsidies for people who enroll through the federal health insurance exchange. That would be a huge problem if the courts ruled against the Obama administration, since the federal exchange serves 36 states.
But even though Sebelius ventured that "we feel that the law covers both state and federal exchanges," she mostly punted to the Treasury Department, which issued the regulations that allow the federal exchange subsidies, and the Justice Department, which is defending that decision in court.
"I am not a lawyer, and I would defer to the Justice Dept for the statutory authority," Sebelius told Leonard Lance (R-N.J.).

Less than a year has passed since Bangladesh and Zimbabwe clashed but within this short period the complexion of both the sides have changed. For Bangladesh it has been a bumpy ride with few accolades but for our African counterparts it has been a far more tumultuous and unstable journey. The proud side that once boasted match winners such as Price, Streak, Flower and the talented Ervine has been disbanded to be replaced by the "new" Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe in Bangladesh 2005 preview
by G. M. Bashar and Sreeram Iyer
Published: 30th December, 2004
Less than a year has passed since Bangladesh and Zimbabwe clashed but within this short period the complexion of both the sides have changed. For Bangladesh it has been a bumpy ride with few accolades but for our African counterparts it has been a far more tumultuous and unstable journey. The proud side that once boasted match winners such as Price, Streak, Flower and the talented Ervine has been disbanded to be replaced by the ?new? Zimbabwe.
For this ?new? Zimbabwe it has been a constant struggle to continue a legacy of cricket with the stark reality that the white community, which was the heart of their cricket, is diminishing rapidly and unable to replenish the pool of players. In haste a cricket development had to be implemented that could slowly induct the impoverished black majority into a minority pastime. With such developments the emergence of new black clubs such as Takashinga, (currently with six players in the national team, five in the Zimbabwe A team and 21 in the provincial teams), have emerged to keep cricket alive. So it is not entirely surprising that without Takashinga there wouldn?t be a Zimbabwe team today.
To make matters worse, ever since the ICC suspended Zimbabwe's Tests for the rest of 2004, i.e. against Pakistan and England, their test preparations have taken a battering. Australia and afterwards Pakistan declined to play Tests against Zimbabwe forcing embarrassing postponements. With Zimbabwe in such dire straits the average cricket spectator may be forgiven to believe that the strife caused by political turmoil has ruined Zimbabwe cricket. Not so. For beneath the surface are tiny glimpses of talent. Tiny they are but they remain a ?potential? as we have seen how their ODI side put up some spirited performances against major cricketing nations.
It is the potential of fresh youngsters such as Taibu, Panyangara and Mpofu, young men that have replaced the old core of Streak, Price and Flower. It is a core that will be eager to show their prowess in Bangladesh. And even if it is a team made up of rookies such as Panyangara, one of six players directly from their U-19 team, it is vital for Bangladesh not to underestimate them. As an antidote to our overconfidence and a glimpse of their potential it is sobering to take a close look at some of their recent matches. For example, in the U-19 World cup it was Panyangara who demolished Australia by taking 6 wickets for a mere 31 runs 1.
Of all their bowlers, Tinashe Pinyangara, already the leading wicket taker, is hailed as their next lead pacer. But watch out for Christopher Mpofu (who was discovered during a fast-bowling class held last year by the former West Indies bowler Ian Bishop), and showed promise against England.
Another interesting chap is Hamilton Masakadza who is making a comeback to Zimbabwe Test cricket. Debuting with a century against the West Indies at the tender age of 18, Masakadza had been out of Test cricket for 2 years due to study commitments. He returns with confidence after a Test average of 26.69, a half-century in ODI against a full strength England and a century to his name to threaten Bangladesh 2.
Despite such spirited tales of their accomplishments, Sri Lanka inflicted huge defeats in April, and won both Tests by an innings and about 250 runs. To top it off Zimbabwe were later bundled out for a new record ODI low of 35 runs 3. Zimbabwe under Streak never stooped so low!
Bearing in mind this new reality the anxious question remains as to where Bangladesh stands in relation to this new Zimbabwe. Before the rebellion of the 15 players Zimbabwe was a competitive team; they had a good bowling combination of Price and Streak; a good fielding side and above all batted deep down. And wasn?t one of the paramount factors for our earlier defeats due to matchwinners such as Streak or flashes of genius from players such as Sean Ervine, Friend and Price? So for Bangladesh it will be interesting to see if their inherent strengths have diminished and if their weaknesses have been exacerbated. Yesterday these strong performers: the pace of Streak; the Spin of Price and the batting of Flower could easily put a game out of reach for Bangladesh. Today it will not be as easy.
The tables have been turned and we see that Bangladesh players with more experience have displaced Zimbabwe in individual merit 4, 5. The tables have turned so much that during the recent ODI series against England, Ian Bell rated Zimbabwe's standard, "as equal to the standard of English county cricket teams". Furthermore, in July 2004, a near full strength Zimbabwe team lost heavily to an India A team, which was made up entirely of fringe players. Only one of the three four days matches went into the final day 6, 7, 8.
Finally considering how well Bangladesh played against India in the one day series and the improvement of key bowlers such as Tapash, Masrafe and Rafique, it is quite realistic to dream of a few wins. The crucial litmus test will be the test series as it will vindicate or throw in doubt how much Bangladesh has gained experience and thus whether they have acquired an edge over Zimbabwe. It is ?now or never? and considering all the perspectives the bottom line is that the series will be a true watershed.

Drop in Food Stamp Enrollment Picks Up Steam
The number of Americans receiving food stamps is now falling at a faster clip, with more than 1.2 million people moving out of the program between October and February, according to federal data.
As of February, the most recent data available, 46.2 million Americans received Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits. That's the lowest level since August 2011 and down from the March 2013 peak of 47.7 million people. The $5.8 billion in benefits paid out in February was the lowest level since at least 2010.

We are excited to announce that Spark R&D's Fuse binding has won the ISPO BrandNew Finalist Award for innovation!!! Thank you for all of your votes and comments and support. We couldn't have done it without you. The sport of splitboarding is growing … and you all are part of the revolution. Be proud.
A little background on the ISPO BrandNew Award:
ISPO (Internationale Fachmesse für Sportartikel und Sportmode) is the 4-Day International Trade Fair for Sports Equipment and Fashion, and has been an annual event for the past 40 years in Munich, Germany. This is where all of the retailers and buyers go to see next year's products and to decide what to sell in their stores in the next season, setting the trends for the outdoor market. Products and companies awarded the ISPO BrandNew Award are considered THE barometer of future trends in sports. This year there were over 350 applicants for the award.
To enter the competition, the company must be 4 years old or younger. The application process involves a public voting component (the part you are familiar with – thanks for all the votes and great comments!) and then a juried component where a group of 20 international experts test and evaluate the products. There is one overall winner of the entire competition, and then one winner and several finalists in each of 7 categories: Accessories, Eco/Fair Trade, Fitness, Hardware, Sportswear, Style, and Urban Style. Spark R&D won a finalist BrandNew Award in the Hardware Category. We are so stoked!
Where from here?
Will Ritter, the owner of Spark R&D and his wife Becca are headed over to Munich in early February to the ISPO trade show along with all of the other winners and finalists. They will be showcasing the Fuse binding and unveiling some great new innovations for the 2011 season.
Spark R&D has always been dedicated to pushing innovation in the sport of splitboarding. Being internationally recognized for this award is just one more way that splitboarding gets put in the lime light. Again, thank you for all of your support and votes, and your dedication to the sport!

The Great Lakes are among the most important natural resources in the world. With more than 20 percent of the earth's surface fresh water, 10,000 miles of shoreline and 30,000 islands, they provide drinking water for tens of millions of people and habitat for a vast array of plants and wildlife, including more than 200 globally rare species.
The region's immense network of coastal marshes, inland wetlands, and forests provide critical ecological services, such as water filtration and storage, flood control, nutrient cycling, and carbon storage. The Great Lakes also offer unmatched opportunities for shipping, industry, tourism, and outdoor recreation that have fostered one of the largest economies in the world.
Despite these values, the Great Lakes have been significantly degraded by human activity during the past two centuries. Threats such as habitat loss and fragmentation, invasive species and pollution have impaired water quality, wildlife populations, and quality of life in the basin.
Sustain Our Great Lakes is a public–private partnership designed to address these threats and improve the ecological health of the Great Lakes basin. Its mission is to sustain, restore, and protect fish, wildlife, and habitat in the basin by leveraging funding, building conservation capacity, and focusing partners and resources toward key ecological issues. The program achieves this mission, in part, by awarding grants for on-the-ground habitat restoration and enhancement.
Funding priorities for this program include:
From 2006 through 2019, the program has awarded 337 grants worth $81 million in federal and corporate partner funding. Grantees matched this funding with an additional $93.5 million, for a total conservation investment of over $174.5 million. Some of the important outcomes generated by this investment include 2,145 miles of restored aquatic connectivity, 42,878 acres of restored habitat, and 281 miles of restored stream and riparian habitat.
NFWF administers the Sustain Our Great Lakes program in partnership with ArcelorMittal, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, MI Natural Recourses Conservation Services, and USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service.

An interview with Alexander Dahmani, co-founder and CEO of QuiO, about his start-up experience and being named Innovation Champion at the 2017 Accenture HealthTech Innovation Challenge.
How did you come up with the name, "QuiO"?
The word is a combination of liquid, quality and flow which refers to the innovation of creating smart and connected injection devices for better, more transparent delivery of injectable therapies. We like it because it doesn't refer to a specific product or technology. That allows us to build a brand and expand into new categories including software and services.
Describe your innovation.
Through QuiO, we've developed the first real-time, connected drug delivery device for injectable therapies. Our product, the Smartinjector™ One (Si One for short), is focused on expensive biologics—drugs that are injected once a day or once a week and treat diseases like Crohn's, MS and inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.
The Si One uses long-range wireless connectivity to deliver dosing data from the patient to medical professionals. It's seamless, and doesn't require any interaction from the patient. So, they use the device, and information about the injection—how much of the drug was administered and at what efficacy level—is sent to medical professionals. This feedback mechanism makes in-home treatments much safer and less daunting for patients.
How did you get the inspiration to begin developing it?
I was pursuing my Ph.D. in microbiology and immunology from Columbia University when I had a eureka moment: I was reviewing the clinical data for a self-injected drug. Everyone projected that it would be a blockbuster so it was making headlines and gathering impressive data. Then I saw it was being commercialized in a glass syringe. And the thought occurred to me that even with a crown jewel therapy, the delivery system was antiquated. My partner and I used a 3D printer to create the original functional prototype. That printer ran day and night for 18 months until we got the result we needed.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Veggie Grill raised $20 million from current stakeholders and new investors to bolster its expansion and capitalize on the growing popularity of healthy dining options, the Santa Monica, California-based restaurant company said on Monday.
It is the fourth round of equity funding for the vegetarian restaurant chain, whose menu includes dishes such as the "All Hail Kale" salad. The privately-held company declined to disclose its valuation.
The investment lands amid growing interest in restaurants that put greater emphasis on healthy food made with ingredients such as organic produce, antibiotic-free meats and vegetable protein. Chains in that group range from national players such as Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc and Panera Bread Co to upstarts Lyfe Kitchen and True Food Kitchen.
Veggie Grill plans to open new restaurants in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego and Seattle during the first half of this year.
The company doubled its restaurant count to 16 last year and is on track to double that number again within the next 18 months, executives said.
A substantial portion of the capital from the latest round came from Brentwood Associates, a California-based private equity firm.
Brentwood has a "substantial" minority position in Veggie Grill and is its largest single shareholder. Bill Barnum, a Brentwood partner, and Rahul Aggarwal, its managing director, will join Veggie Grill's board of directors.

Tapping into the craft brew business
Dan Slate says his business partner, Jack Hendon, knew he had a passion for the craft beer industry.
"He said something like, 'You really ought to make money off your hobby, other than just taking the bottles and cans back'" for the refund, jokes Slate.
But that got the two thinking about the money in the burgeoning craft brewing industry. Slate and Hendon are CPAs, and the accounting industry is all about the money — helping businesses make it and hang on to it.
Hendon and Slate are apparently good at it, since the business they founded in Fremont in 1983 — H&S Companies — has acquired many other CPA firms and now has eight offices throughout the West Michigan region. The firm also expanded into IT consulting and added a wealth management division, since so many of their clients need that help, as well.
In July, H&S announced its new division, Brewers Professional Alliance, in partnership with Parmenter O'Toole law firm in Muskegon and White Insurance Agency in Fremont.
Perhaps this week, according to Slate, the Brewers Professional Alliance will announce the names of two more partners: an engineering firm and a construction firm. The BPA has already partnered with two major business software companies that serve the craft brewing industry.
The alliance, according to its website, has positioned itself as "the ultimate resource for those in the craft brew industry."
Slate said the firms that are members of the BPA "are all equal partners in the business." BPA's target market is craft breweries and brew pubs. The pubs are generally small businesses, licensed to make their own brew for sale on premises. Craft breweries also generally are considered small businesses — but they don't necessarily stay that way.
Larry Bell started Bell's Brewery in Kalamazoo in 1985 using a 15-gallon soup kettle. A year later the brewery had an annual capacity of 135 barrels (a barrel is 31 gallons). Today, Bell's has an annual capacity of more than 500,000 barrels, is distributed in 18 states and, in 2010, was among the top eight largest U.S. craft breweries.
One of the latest to open in the Grand Rapids region is Perrin Brewing in Comstock Park, which is a microbrewery and a restaurant. It reportedly has an annual capacity of up to 15,000 barrels.
Many others are brew pubs, which generally produce much less beer and are licensed only for selling it directly to the public on premises, such as The Mitten on Leonard Street NW in Grand Rapids.
Slate said he understands there are 60 new microbreweries or brew pubs that expect to open in Michigan this year and next. "Michigan is the fifth largest state in the country for breweries and brew pubs," he said.
The beauty of the craft beer market is its growth potential. Slate estimates that 90 percent of all the beer consumed in the U.S. is not craft beer but familiar brands like Budweiser, produced in huge volume by Anheuser-Busch. Craft beer is more akin to European brews and more expensive than Bud or Miller, but it is growing in popularity along with the increasing ranks of American beer aficionados.
"If you have a town of 4,000 population, it can probably support a brew pub. So that's an awful lot of them," said Slate.
Even microbreweries have a lot of room to grow because "a new craft brewer isn't taking business away from other crafters. You just carve more out of the big boys," such as Anheuser-Busch, he explained.
Microbreweries and brew pubs are typically the result of some individual's desire to make good beer, not a fortune.
"A lot of them are passionate about what they do, and that is what's so fun about this industry," said Slate.
However, the brewers don't necessarily have the whole array of services available to them for making their passion a successful business, he said.
BPA is all about marketing. It has a website and distributes a printed newsletter each quarter — Hops & Suds — containing news and information of interest to craft brewers and brew pub managers. In the fall issue, the articles are about proposed changes to Michigan's licensing laws that could help brewers, a way to lower insurance costs, use of enterprise resource planning software to streamline beer production, and the latest winners in the U.S. Beer Tasting Championship (Saugatuck Brewing Co. took "best imperial IPA/Red Ale and Bitter/ESB" in the Midwest category).
When asked what the biggest business challenge is facing craft brewers and brew pubs, Slate said it is capital.
"The biggest challenge for the (craft) brewery industry is really financing," he said. A brew pub, for example, is really just a restaurant that makes its own beer. "I'm on a bank board. Do we finance many restaurants? No," he said.
As for the microbreweries, if they are successful, they will grow, and that means additional investment in equipment.
"Most of these are not financed by banks," or at least not starting out, he said, "and not entirely, anyway. These people are out there with their friends and neighbors and relatives, trying to get investors."
When it comes to finding financing, said Slate, "we can help. We can't always solve that problem, but we do our best."
There does not appear to be any widespread cutthroat competition among craft brewers, as in other industries. He said he has heard that The Boston Beer Co., a craft brewer that makes the Samuel Adams brands, has set up some kind of capital fund for start-up microbreweries.
But, at the end of the day, craft brewers/brew pub owners want to be in business the following day, so there are things they need help with. Those include accounting, payroll, tax services, food and beverage expertise, IT, insurance/risk management, manufacturing efficiencies, legal, HR, and so on.
With those professionals marketed together under the banner of Brewers Professional Alliance, Slate hopes to make the craft brewers' business endeavors more sustainable.
"We work together as a team to provide an array of services," he said.

There was a major redesign of the printing workflow at the end of last year, which broke a lot of things. Some of these redesigned packages reached debian testing causing all this trouble to LMDE users. In contrary Ubuntu: with their fixed release cycle they grab all the packages from Debian unstable and fix all the bugs themselve before they release it. Neither Ubuntu Oneiric nor Ubuntu Precise suffered from these printing bugs because of Ubuntus good quality control.Although it's using Romeo for unstable packages, LMDE continuously changes as it receives updates and new software. Compared to a frozen version of Linux Mint which changes very little once it's publicly released, it's not as stable. Things are likely to break more often but fixes can also come quicker. For this reason, LMDE requires a deeper knowledge and experience with Linux, dpkg and APT.
This convinced me of keeping Ubuntu (Xubuntu), switching only the desktop to Xfce (since I don't like Unity or Gnome 3 shell).

I have been out-of-touch with Air Delights for some years. When I decided to return, they were there, ready and able to help me. They even had my old order records from years back. This was a great help to me. I didn't even need to order new dispensers , because my old ones worked just like new.
Due to our order history they followed up with a phone call to ensure what was ordered was actually what we wanted. Turns out we ordered incorrectly. They made the adjustment on the phone and shipped the correct item.
From seeing the pop-up ad, through ordering the needed parts cheaper than factory pricing, to installing for a flushable toilet again---THREE DAYS ONLY!!! Impressive, outstanding, and better than most!
I've been using products from Air Delights for years and have loved all of the products that I purchased. There have never been any problems with the products or customer service. I've actually gotten some of my friends interested in the products.
I've dealt with you folks before so I know the kind of service I will receive. I like the fact that there is a place like yours that people can shop at and get the service we deserve. I've decided we needed another set of this product in our upstairs bathroom since we have someone else utilizing the downstairs bathroom. GREAT SERVICE!
They expedited shipping to me and got it her super fast and were MORE than courteous when I called. The Best!
This commercial supplier has always been patient with my household sized orders. They even called once when what I had ordered was not the same as my previous orders. Saved me from having to return a mistaken order. I love their air freshener products. It's not always easy to find air fresheners that I can use with my allergies.
Your company is the best.You save me money on the part that I needed.Also I will be order off your company if I need anything else.
Our Flushmate 503 developed a broken cartridge at 4PM central time. AirDelights is pacific time, so by the time I placed my order it was 2:47 pacific time. They sent the parts by FEDEX next day standard delivery. I had the parts in my hand in St Louis MO at 10:18 AM the next morning. The order was before 3PM so they shipped the same day.
Ease of ordering and length of time on delivery and the pleasing aroma of items purchased are all great! I will be purchasing more in the near future. Thanks to everyone involved with my order.

Five steps to agile digital marketing
By Rachel Alt-Simmons, Principal Management Consultant, SAS Best Practices
For marketers trying to compete in the digital marketplace, it's incredibly hard to surface your message above all the noise. You need to create messaging that speaks to each audience segment differently. Agile marketing gives you the ability to create that level of precision. If you're ready to go agile, start with these five steps excerpted from the white paper Digital Marketing: Are You Ready to Go Agile?
Gartner estimates that a brand's failure to respond via social channels leads to a 15 percent increase in customer churn.
- Listen
Social listening, the ability to monitor social media channels in real time, is an important consumer observation tool. Social listening technologies provide the capability to observe trends, monitor brand and reputation, and even find inspiration from consumers. Social media analysis helps marketers hear the conversation, understand what it means, and drive insights to action against.
Social media also gives customers another channel to engage with a brand or a company, blurring the lines between customer service, sales and marketing functions. Social media has become the new customer complaint desk. Gartner estimates that a brand's failure to respond via social channels leads to a 15 percent increase in customer churn.
Your competitors are taking advantage of that. For example, in the telecom industry, wireless providers are monitoring customer complaints for their competitors and using that insight to offer alternatives and steal customers away.
- Respond
It's not just about eavesdropping on the conversation; it's about doing something with the information.
Clothing and shoe e-tailer Zappos.com strives for industry-leading customer service. At the heart of their customer-centric strategy is social media, using channels like Twitter and Facebook to engage with their customers. Their social team responds to all kinds of questions – from customer inquiries and complaints, to customer shout-outs ("Nice kicks!" they responded to one happy customer) and brand sharing. A recent Twitter exchange illustrates why their customer satisfaction rates are so high.
Zappos' goal is to respond to every social media post within minutes. During an all-company meeting, a customer complained on social media about a problem they were having. Since all employees were at the meeting, no one was available to respond (they did put an "out of office" note on Twitter and Facebook). Even before the Zappos team could react to the problem, another customer responded to the negative comment, telling the unhappy customer that Zappos would take care of her as soon as possible. That's enviable brand advocacy.
- Adapt
Digital channel fails abound. A large e-tailer belatedly apologized for a Halloween costume section on their website – "Fat Girl Costumes" – after it drew intense social media criticism. Pizza maker DiGiorno inadvertently used a hashtag associated with domestic violence (#whyistayed) in a recent Twitter marketing campaign, creating a firestorm of bad publicity. Social media amplifies your message at extremes.
If you get it wrong, you need to respond even faster. In our e-tailer example, the offensive costume page was left on the website for most of the day. An upset shopper took them to task on Twitter and received the following robotic response: "Your comments and suggestions are important to us and help make us even better." The company eventually took the offending page down and publically apologized – so much for listening and adapting.
- Measure
As engaging as your marketing campaigns and social engagement strategies may be, data and measurement need to underlie every decision you make. Treat innovation as a discipline, not a free-for-all. And just because you innovate, that doesn't mean you're going to get it right every time. Digital leaders aggressively use test-and-learn approaches to shape their go-to-market strategies. Marketing agility allows them to execute quickly, and a culture of innovation encourages risk taking.
With all of the data available to marketers today, you no longer have to stab in the dark to find out what your customers will respond to and know if your action was effective. A recent survey by WhichTestWon.com highlighted that more than 25 percent of online direct-to-consumer marketers aren't doing any testing of their site or campaigns. In B2B organizations, more than 50 percent of marketers are not testing. With web and mobile becoming an important and integrated component of many organizations' channel strategies, you can't afford to not continually (and quickly) evaluate those strategies.
- Anticipate
The nirvana state for any customer experience and marketing professional is being able to anticipate customer needs. One CPG company tapped into its vast stores of first- and third-party data to build out consumer microsegments and drive more relevant engagement with consumers. It is currently managing 500 proprietary target segments that help it facilitate a one-to-one conversation with the consumer. The company's ability to mine that customer data allows it to anticipate what consumers will respond to – in fact, if the data predicts you won't use a certain product, you won't see an ad for that product.
No agile marketing infrastructure would be complete without robust analytic capabilities. This includes the tools and talent needed to analyze the data, create market segments and response models. Many organizations are struggling to hire the analytic talent they need to drive customer listening and personalization strategies: Ad agencies and other marketing providers are stepping up to include data strategy, data management and analytics services. "[Many marketers] are afraid to dive into [big data], worried that they will not be able to understand which pieces … have value," says Miles Young, Chairman and CEO of Ogilvy and Mather. Partners can help bridge that gap.
Software companies are also doing more to make the analytics process less painful and more transparent for marketers by embedding analytics (the ability to rapidly create segments and build response models) into digital intelligence applications. The good news is that marketers have a lot of choices, including in-house, partner or outsourced models, to advance their analytic programs and increase their agility.

Our new crossfader / panner, it can be used to crossfade between 2 signals or pan a signal from left to right.
.Dedicated "initial" knob
.VC pan with attenuator knob and
.CV inverting switch for fast changing from left-right to right-

A small simple panner has really been missing in eurorack (how's that even possible?)
Great to have xfade too, of course.
Just added it modulargrid. br> br>

br>dank! br> br>
br>I've had 2 defective ADDAC 805 modules purchased in the US over the last month. Has anyone in the US purchased this module operating as advertised recently? I feel like I stumbled upon a bad batch and its given me pause on purchasing any more ADDAC modules. The first module suffered from an admittedly minor annoyance where the channels were flipped in regard to the LEDS and the channel LR audio outputs...this was not an issue with misunderstanding the inverse switch. In default mode with the inverse switch in the down position, moving the pan knob left resulted in audio panned right and vice versa. When the switch was flipped, the audio output was correct but the LEDS showing output were reversed. I received the second module yesterday and this one is more defective than the last...with the inverse switch in the down position, the pan knob has no effect at all (whether using as an Xfade patch or panning patch) When switched to the upward inverse position the module works as advertised, just inverted in terms of left/right stereo positioning. Super frustrated with this as I was planning on getting the 802 and possibly the 703. Anyone else experienced issues with ADDAC quality control? I tried both modules in separate cases and check and rechecked my mixer connections...so I'm positive this isn't cluelessness on my end. Neither module has operated identically to the ADDAC demo video on the site. br> br>
br>i've got a 206 switch, 801 and 703 mixers, and recently a 504 probabilistic generator. No problem with all these ones !
(btw, as your are interested in, the 703 is imho a superb mixer, the distortion go from subtile to harsh and the feedback is a great addition) br> br>
br>Thanks dropthedyle...I will probably exchange the panner for the mixer...I haven't written addac off completely but this whole thing has been odd, and is my first real issue with new modules since I got back into modular about a year ago. br> br>

Yes, on my 802 the LEDs for VCA 3 and Mix VCA light up with
nothing patched
as the knobs are turned past the 12 o'clock position! No performance of the module is affected which is a good thing.
I was in correspondence with Andre regarding my 802 issue and he thinks it's an easy fix/transistor issue. Unfortunately, getting in contact with Andre is almost impossible (he appears, then disappears like magic so you never know). I've almost just given up on it. The module works fine so I'm cool, just a minor LED annoyance. I love ADDAC products, but I'm afraid support is......very slow br> br>
br>Hmmm, I know every manufacturer has issues and no one is perfect, but this does raise some flags for me, particularly because I'm in the US and service issues won't be cheap and easy. I was certainly being a bit picky with the first module, but it is pretty expensive and I wanted it top operate as advertised...the second module is more perplexing, I'm not sure how this one made it out to a dealer. I LOVE the ADDAC aesthetic and the modules have great functionality for their size...but I'm not sure I'll proceed further down this path aside from the 703 which I hope to exchange this week. Bummed
br> br>
br>Hello all,
Seems like you spotted a faulty batch indeed, i went checking and most probably all our 805 in AH have that issue, the controls for L+R are inverted.
So the pot behaves in reverse of what it should!
Shawn, will take care of replacing the modules once he gets a new batch in!
Sorry for this, it happened at a time when i hired someone new to help and seems like he missed that in testing!
We'll also replace any other units that show the same issue, just drop us an email through our website to make it easier to manage on our side!
Still on the US repair subject, all US distributors are instructed to replace every module that appears faulty, unless they don't have it in stock, then they have to come here for repair. This process can be taken care either through the shop or talking with us directly.
Regarding me appearing and disappearing, sorry for that i know it's true, i go a lot into hermit mode, that's when i get most things done, following some task until it's completion, i kinda don't believe in multitasking it just gets me terribly tired. Last weeks i've been terribly excited with the new 505 envelope generator and that took a lot of my time...
But i try, at least every once a week, to reply all pending matters. Simple issues are normally solved by Filipe or Sandra but particular cases are sorted by me and it may take a bit sometimes when the case is more complicated.
I can only hope for your understanding.
all the very best

br>Thanks for the response Andre, VERY much appreciated. A bad batch can happen to anyone, so I've not given up on Adaac...I decided to exchange the 805 panner for the 703 mixer (I didn't order from AH, tho, but did get great customer service on this whole thing from Perfect Circuit Audio). I'd like to get into another 805 at a later point as PCA is out of the module, hence the 703 replacement. I'll probably pursue the 802 and possibly more in the future when $$$ and space allow...thanks again! br> br>
br>Andre also responded to my 802 issue and said it will be replaced in a few months when the next batch of 802s are available
br> br>
br>A couple questions about this module:
- is it DC-coupled for crossfading between CV signals?
- can the crossfading be done at audio rate?
- is the crossfading equal-power (no volume spike or dip in the middle)? br> br>

Update: Thanks to my dealer for working something out and replacing my 802. ADDAC never followed through with this

Collaborating Partner Expectations
By May 10, 2010, Colorado College and Lake Forest College hope to identify several other ACM colleges to collaborate on this project. (Application Form) In becoming a Collaborating Partner, an institution will agree to do the following over the course of the project:
- By summer 2010, make substantial progress on developing a mission statement, learning outcomes, and pilot assessment plan for a first-year studies program or its equivalent, as appropriate to your institution.
- In the early fall of 2010, conduct (minimally) a pilot assessment of a first-year course program or its equivalent, as appropriate to your institution.
- In early November 2010, be prepared to present the institution's work on learning outcomes and direct assessment measures for first-year programs at a meeting of Collaborating Partners to be held in Chicago. A central aim of these discussions will be to compare notes on how student academic work, especially substantive written work, may be used to validate outcome measures and provide feedback for program improvement.
- In the spring of 2011, refine plans for a full-scale assessment of learning outcomes in first-year courses to be conducted subsequently, as appropriate to your institution.
- Develop presentations of these plans to be given at an ACM-wide conference on learning outcomes and assessment in the summer of 2011 in Chicago.
- Work with other Collaborating Partners in planning the conference and writing a final report, to be completed by September 2011.
FaCE funding will provide the following for the Collaborating Partners:
- Up to $900 for one participant's expenses, including travel, two nights lodging, and meals, at the November 2010 meeting of the Collaborating Partners in Chicago.
- Up to $900 for one participant's expenses, including travel, two nights lodging, and meals, at the summer 2011 ACM conference in Chicago.
Collaborating Partners are welcome to send additional representatives to these meetings, at their own expense. Funding is limited, so it is possible that not all applications to be a Collaborating Partner will be accepted.
