The 19-year-old driver of a car that dragged a convenience store worker -- leaving the worker in critical condition -- after stealing signs featuring David Hasselhoff has admitted his involvement to police, according to the Shelton Police Facebook page.
An employee at a Cumberland Farms in Shelton, Conn., was critically injured while trying to stop thieves from stealing two signs featuring the actor.
The Hasselhoff signs have been a popular target for thieves since the "Baywatch" actor began doing commercials for the convenience store chain last year.
U.S. & World
According to police, a black SUV pulled into the parking lot of the Cumberland Farms at 819 River Road around 1:15 a.m. on Tuesday.
A 36-year-old worker noticed a man get out of the SUV and cut down two poster boards with Hasselhoff on them from a light pole and put them in the back of the vehicle. The employee approached the SUV to try and get the signs back and the driver sped away, dragging the victim and throwing him to the ground.
The employee, who has not been identified, flipped backwards and landed on his head, police said. He is listed in critical condition at Bridgeport Hospital.
There were three people inside the SUV, which drove down River Road towards Stratford, according to police.
Police said the 19-year-old man who came forward is suspected to be the driver. No arrests have been made.
Investigators said yesterday that they were reviewing surveillance video and interviewing witnesses. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Shelton Police Detective Bureau at 203-924-1544.
In July 2012, more than 500 cardboard cutouts featuring Hasselhoff were stolen from Cumberland Farms stores in New England and Florida.
Hasselhoff Tweeted about the incident yesterday and said he is "shocked" and "truly saddened" and that his thoughts and prayers are with the man who was injured.
I am shocked& truly saddened about the Cumberland farms store clerk tragedy My heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with him and his family! — David Hasselhoff (@DavidHasselhoff) August 21, 2013

Oslo -- Based on encouraging results from pre-clinical research, Bionor Immuno AS, today announced intentions to take the therapeutic and potentially preventative HIV-vaccine candidate Vacc-C5 into a Phase I/II clinical trial. The research results indicate that Vacc-C5 may induce a protective antibody response in HIV patients similar to that found in patients with slow or non-progressing disease.
"The very slow or non-progressing HIV infection observed in a small minority of patients, often referred to as 'controllers' because of their ability to live symptom-free with HIV, has been the subject of academic interest for years. The discovery of these antibodies in such patients could lead to a significant shift in the approach to treating HIV. The results have been presented to the Company's Clinical Advisory Board and with very encouraging feedback," said Birger S?rensen, CEO of Bionor Immuno.
Vacc-C5 is the second vaccine in Bionor's pipeline. Vacc-4x, acting by a different mechanism (cell mediated immunity), has undergone a multi-centre placebo-controlled Phase IIB trial with 134 HIV-patients who have temporarily stopped taking daily ART. Results from the study are expected in October 2010.
Researchers Discover Vacc-C5 after Studying Immune Response of HIV Controllers
From research on blood donated by patients with a slow or non-progressing HIV disease, the Company has identified a specific part of the virus, C5, which is believed to induce hyper-activation of the immune system. Researchers believe that the antibodies to C5 are likely to be protective and cause a slow disease progression. Using its proprietary platform technology, the Company has developed Vacc-C5, which is designed to induce a similar antibody response to the one discovered in patients with slow disease progression. Vacc-C5 has passed pre-clinical research tests showing that it has the potential to induce the desired antibodies.
Disease progression from HIV to AIDS is triggered by the hyper-activation of the immune system. This hyper-activation overwhelms the immune system and gradually causes a collapse in the immune system, leading to AIDS. Researchers hope that Vacc-C5 will have the ability to stop or greatly slow this progression.
The antibodies induced by Vacc-C5 are expected to be beneficial at all stages of HIV disease and can be used for both treatment and prevention. Vacc-C5 works by halting the hyper-activation of the immune system, producing a dual effect; i) slowing down or halting the disease progression and ii) significantly reducing the production of the virus. These properties, in combination with the properties of the Company's most advanced vaccine candidate, Vacc-4x, may form a potent preventative HIV vaccine.
Clinical Trial Program Strategy
As part of the preparations for a Phase I/II clinical trial to be initiated in Q2, 2011, the Company will carry out routine toxicity tests, to ensure the safety of the Vacc-C5 components. The toxicology program is planned to be completed by early 2011.
Following the decision to move Vacc-C5 forward towards clinical testing the Company has placed an order with Bachem for the production of pharmaceutical-grade vaccine components to be used in the upcoming trial.
The HIV Market
In 2008 the United Nations estimated 33.4 million people are living with HIV globally, of which 2.14 million have access to highly effective treatment. The latter have access to antiretroviral therapy at a cost of between US$12,000 to $15,000 per year, per patient. Data monitor estimates the value of antiretroviral sales in the seven major markets (France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, UK and USA) at US$11.7 billion. The antiretroviral therapy must be administered at precise intervals during the day and often cause adverse side effects.

A bipartisan group of senators is preparing to defy the White House by introducing new Iran sanctions legislation as early as Thursday or Friday that would increase pressure on Iran if it fails to meet its obligations under the interim deal signed last month.
"The bill is bipartisan, has growing support, and because of that growing support, it may take another day," said Adam Sharon, spokesman for chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Sen. Robert Menendez.
The Senate bill, which is being written by Menendez, D-N.J., and Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., proposes future sanctions that go into effect only if Iran violates the interim deal or the deal falls apart, Sharon said in an e-mail.
"They still get their sanctions relief, no new penalties are passed by Congress, and all parties are given the space to keep negotiating," he said.
The House of Representatives passed similar legislation in July.
Secretary of State John Kerry told senators last week that passing new sanctions legislation now would violate the interim deal negotiated with Iran on Nov. 24, which obligates the USA not to impose new sanctions while the six-month deal is underway.
Iran would back out of the deal even if new sanctions passed by Congress are set to start only if the deal falls through or after it expires, Kerry said. And such an action would cause the collapse of the international sanctions coalition that has adhered to U.S. sanctions on Iran, Kerry said.
Iranian negotiators wrangling in Vienna, Austria, with world powers on how to implement the Nov. 24 deal walked out on those talks last week, after the U.S. Treasury blacklisted 19 additional Iranian companies in connection to sanctions that are already in force.
Those talks were said to resume Thursday. But nearly a month after the interim deal was inked, the clock has yet to start ticking on its six-month timeline.
The White House has been lobbying Congress for months to hold off on new sanctions legislation, arguing it could scuttle the ongoing talks with Iran. World power are seeking a comprehensive deal that would resolve suspicions that Iran is developing a nuclear weapons program, something Iran denies.
President Obama has pledged to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, and U.S. ally Israel has threatened to use military force if necessary to stop Iran's nuclear advance.
Many senators reject the White House's and Kerry's argument that the Senate should avoid new sanctions because they could disrupt negotiations, Sharon said.
"Treasury enforced sanctions that came online now, and you saw the Iranian reaction," he said.By armyTijes: 19 dec 2013

The sale of 109.9 million shares - 6.19% of Suzlon – by the company's founders wiped 34% off its value, the biggest fall in the Indian turbine manufacturer's share price in more than four years.
Suzlon's founders sold the shares to raise INR 2.4 billion ($44 million) to repay lenders as part of its $1.8 billion debt restructuring plan, which was approved by the firm's 19 lenders last month.
The debt plan gave Suzlon, which had been struggling with loan repayments, a two-year moratorium on principal and term-debt interest repayments, as well as a six-month moratorium on working capital interest. It also includes a 3% reduction on interest rates.

customer reviews for faux wood blinds
"Great Value"
By Lindsey from Saint Paul
I looked everywhere for wood blinds at a low price. I found that many home improvement stores only carried white and honey colored blinds at a low price. Then I found these on Blindsgalore. They sent me the sample quickly and the blinds came within a week. I am very happy with their qualityView this product

Scientists Make First Embryo Clones From Adults
Advancement Could Lead to Treatment for Alzheimer's, Heart Disease
Scientists for the first time have cloned cells from two adults to create early-stage embryos, and then derived tissue from those embryos that perfectly matched the DNA of the donors.
The experiment represents another advance in the quest to make tissue in the laboratory that could treat a range of maladies, from heart attacks to Alzheimer's. The study, involving a 35-year-old man and one age 75, was published Thursday in the journal Cell Stem Cell....

*Warning- I'm whiny today.*
I spoke too soon about how lovely Thanksgiving was. While Thanksgiving was delightful, the fallout that has ensued from Miles over the holiday has us all feeling like we are trapped in a hamster wheel.
I've heard that holidays/birthdays/special occasions were especially tough for kids who've come from tough places. We saw a little of that when Sadie and Noah celebrated their birthdays and Miles was ticked off. But two whole days of people oohing and ahhing over Miles and his "adorable" attention seeking behaviors has him reeling. Coming back down to real life where we don't feed into those attention seeking behaviors has Miles so mad he can't see straight. He has melted down, is back to hating me (or at least acting like it) is making no eye contact, is refusing to eat, acts like he can't remember how to walk/eat/use a spoon/drink from a cup/etc. The child regresses to very early infancy. Meal times have been a major fight. We've been video taping these things for Miles' psychologist. Watching them back is disturbing. The hour long meltdown with intense screaming (no tears) and drool all over the place while thrashing around on the floor refusing to put weight on his legs is my personal favorite. I can't wait to see what the therapist says about it.
So forgive me for taking the day off from blogging. I've got a little one that needs copious amounts of parenting today. BTW- last week Miles got in two of his 6 year molars. Wonder how old this tiny kid really is? *sigh* Three?...Four? Twenty-five?... Your guess is as good as mine. Malnutrition is a thorn in my side.
P.S. You should check out the Millions of Miles facebook page today. Just sayin'.

Itinerary Disclaimer
While it is our intention to adhere to the route described below, there is a certain amount of flexibility built into the itinerary and on occasion it may be necessary, or desirable to make alterations.

All G Adventures group trips are accompanied by one of our Chief Experience Officers (CEO). The aim of the CEO is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. They will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects.

What to Take
We suggest that you pack as lightly as possible as you are expected to carry your own luggage. Our trips in South Korea use some public transport and most will have limited luggage storage space.
You will also be walking with your luggage in busy public train stations to catch connecting trains, so it is highly recommended that you travel light and have easy to handle luggage and capable of walking up and down the stairs with your luggage without any assistance. A large bag will be an inconvenience to you and will slow you down.
We recommend keeping the weight of your bags between 10-15kg/22-30lb. Suitcases are not recommended for G Adventures trips. Most travellers carry a backpack or rolling bag of small to medium size. You will also need a day-pack/rucksack to carry daily essentials like water, cameras, passport, i-pods etc.

Visas and Entry Requirements
Please note that visas are the responsibility of the individual traveler. The visa requirements for your trip vary depending on where you are from and where you are going. For the most up to date information please check your governments foreign ministry website or with your travel agent as rules do change.
Spending Money
Every traveller is different and therefore spending money requirements will vary. Some travellers may drink more than others while other travellers like to purchase more souvenirs than most. Please consider your own spending habits when it comes to allowing for drinks, shopping and tipping. Please also remember the following specific recommendations when planning your trip.
Money Exchange
As currency exchange rates in Asia fluctuate often we ask that you refer to the following website for daily exchange rates: www.xe.com.
ATMs are available in most places and typically accept Visa, Mastercard and Debit Card. However, it's likely that not all machines will be available or will work with your card. It's best to come with USD cash as well to be able to exchange money when necessary. A variety of payment options is recommended.
Credit Cards should not be relied upon for purchases as they are not widely accepted, except in some restaurants and department stores.
Emergency Fund
Please also make sure you have access to at least an additional USD $200 (or equivalent) as an 'emergency' fund, to be used when circumstances outside our control (ex. a natural disaster) require a change to our planned route. This is a rare occurrence!

Safety and Security
Many national governments provide a regularly updated advice service on safety issues involved with international travel. We recommend that you check your government's advice for their latest travel information before departure. We strongly recommend the use of a neck wallet or money belt while travelling, for the safe keeping of your passport, air tickets, travellers' cheques, cash and other valuable items. Leave your valuable jewelery at home – you won't need it while travelling. Many of the hotels we use have safety deposit boxes, which is the most secure way of storing your valuables. A lock is recommended for securing your luggage. When travelling on a group trip, please note that your group leader has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the trip itinerary if it deemed necessary, due to safety concerns. Your Chief Experience Officer (CEO) will accompany you on all included activities. During your trip you will have some free time to pursue your own interests, relax and take it easy and explore at your leisure. While your CEO will assist you with options available in a given location, please note that any optional activities you undertake are not part of your itinerary, and we offer no representations about the safety of the activity or the standard of the operators running them. Please use your own good judgement when selecting an activity in your free time. Although the cities visited on tour are generally safe during the day, there can be risks to wandering throughout any major city at night. It is our recommendation to stay in small groups and to take taxis to and from restaurants, or during night time excursions.
Water based activities have an element of danger and excitement built into them. We recommend only participating in water based activities when accompanied by a guide(s). We make every reasonable effort to ensure the fun and adventurous element of any water based activities (in countries with varying degrees of operating standards), have a balanced approach to safety. It is our policy not to allow our CEOs to make arrangements on your behalf for water based activities that are not accompanied by guide(s).
Swimming, including snorkeling, is always at your own risk. Read more about travel safety for ways to further enhance your personal safety while traveling.
A Couple of Rules
Illegal drugs will not be tolerated on any trips. Possessing or using drugs not only contravenes the laws of the land but also puts the rest of the group at risk. Smoking marijuana and opium is a part of local culture in some parts of the world but is not acceptable for our travellers. Our philosophy of travel is one of respect towards everyone we encounter, and in particular the local people who make the world the special place it is. The exploitation of people in the sex trade is completely contrary to this philosophy. Our CEOs have the right to expel any member of the group if drugs are found in their possession or if they engage in any form of paid sex work.
Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is compulsory in order to participate on any of our trips. When travelling on a group trip, you will not be permitted to join the group until evidence of travel insurance has been sighted by your leader, who will take note of your insurance details. When selecting a travel insurance policy we require that at a minimum you are covered for medical expenses including emergency evacuation and repatriation. A minimum coverage of USD200,000 is required. G Adventures can provide you with the appropriate coverage. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects. Some tours include adventure activities that require extra coverage (e.g. crampon use); please review your itinerary and make sure that you are covered for all included activities. If you have credit card insurance we require proof of purchase of the trip (a receipt of credit card statement) with a credit card in your name. Contact your bank for details of their participating insurer, the level of coverage and emergency contact telephone number.

Local Dress
In Asia the dress standard is more conservative than it is back home. When packing try to pick loose, lightweight, long clothing that will keep you cool in the usually hot and humid climate of Asian summers.

Day 1: Seoul
Welcome to Seoul! As fellow travellers are arriving throughout the day, there are no planned activities until a group meeting at 6 pm. Check into the hotel and enjoy the city.
After the welcome meeting, join your CEO for an orientation walk down Cheonggyecheon Stream to learn about Seoul while walking past small waterfalls and nearly two dozen overhead bridges.

Re: Little Pickles Just Beginner
I have one of these for my 3-year-old boy. It's one of the best training pants on the market. It's just like a pocket nappy but designed like a pair of pants so that a child can pull them up and down himself. The pocket opening is nice and large which makes it easier to stuff with inserts as I've found training pants are harder to stuff than regular nappies. It's not poofy like other training pants and being a pocket nappy, is easy to wash and dry and the absorbency can be customised. My son is tall and slim and the fit is really good. He has outgrown most nappies now as the rise is usually too small and he ends up with builder's crack. This does not happen with these training pants. They're also NZ-made.

The HCSA model uses the Athlete Centered Model, wherein the student-athlete is the centre of developmental attention. The student-athlete's physical, mental and social-skill developmental needs are always respected by each organization associated with the HCSA program. Although minimum standards of performance are expected athletically and academically (as agreed upon by local partners), each student-athlete progresses at their own individual pace and ambitions. The outcome is not to develop future professional or international caliber athletes, or even Rhodes Scholars. The outcome is to enhance a student-athlete's confidence, individual playing skills, self-esteem and opportunities in both academics and athletics beyond the primary and secondary school system all while making efficient use of arena facilities during school hours.
The establishment of a Hockey Canada Skills Academy program involves creating partnerships between a number of groups to be an effective and efficient program. All partners must endorse the HCSA application.

Age embryo Strain BD1X Applications This cell line is a suitable transfection host. Storage Conditions liquid nitrogen vapor phase Derivation H9c2(2-1) is a subclone of the original clonal cell line derived from embryonic BD1X rat heart tissue by B. Kimes and B. Brandt and exhibits many of the properties of skeletal muscle. Receptor Expression acetylcholine, expressed Genes Expressed myokinase; creatine phosphokinase; myosin Cellular Products myokinase; creatine phosphokinase; myosin Comments Myoblastic cells in this line will fuse to form multinucleated myotubes and respond to acetylcholine stimulation.Fusion occurs faster if the serum concentration in the medium is reduced to one percent. Complete Growth Medium The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium, Catalog No. 30-2002. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%. Subculturing Volumes are given for a 75 cm2 flask. Increase or decrease the amount of dissociation medium needed proportionally for culture vessels of other sizes. Corning® T-75 flasks (catalog #430641) are recommended for subculturing this product. The myoblastic population will become depleted rapidly if the cultures are allowed to become confluent. To prevent loss of myoblastic cells, cultures should be subcultured before they become confluent, and the line should be recloned periodically with selection for myoblastic cells. Remove and discard culture medium. Briefly rinse the cell layer with 0.25% (w/v) Trypsin- 0.53 mM EDTA solution to remove all traces of serum which contains trypsin inhibitor. Add 2.0 to 3.0 mL of Trypsin-EDTA solution to flask and observe cells under an inverted microscope until cell layer is dispersed (usually within 5 to 15 minutes). Note: To avoid clumping do not agitate the cells by hitting or shaking the flask while waiting for the cells to detach. Cells that are difficult to detach may be placed at 37°C to facilitate dispersal. Add 6.0 to 8.0 mL of complete growth medium and aspirate cells by gently pipetting. Add appropriate aliquots of the cell suspension to new culture vessels. Incubate cultures at 37°C.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recently put out recalls for two electronic products that could cause burns of fire hazards.
At this time of year, every consumer must be aware of what they are purchasing, especially when considering the vast amount of electronics products that are on the market. Technology is always changing and companies are clamoring to get the first great product on the shelves to maximize profits.
But consumer protection should be the No. 1 goal of companies when it sometimes isn't. Our defective product attorneys are prepared to help everyday people when they are injured because of the recklessness of businesses that cut corners in manufacturing products in order to make big profits.
In many cases, companies will produce a children's toy, a drug or even a 3,000-pound vehicle without taking into consideration all potential problems. They may rush the product into manufacturing and then to consumers without properly conducting safety tests.
Sadly, it may take an accident or a death before the company agrees to recall the product, even though federal standards require companies to notify the government within 24 hours of discovering an injury or death from one of their products. Many times, they will risk a large fine from the CPSC and instead leave the product on the shelf to try to make as much money as possible, regardless of the dangers.
However, the consumer must take responsibility, too. You shouldn't necessarily trust that the company making the product is going to do the right thing in ensuring your safety.
The CPSC recently recalled two electronics products because they could burn someone or catch fire. In one case, a Michigan-based company, Morphie, recalled its iPod Touch rechargeable external battery case because it's possible a person could get burned by it.
The Morphie Juice Pack Air rechargeable external battery has a lithium polymer battery built into a casing made of plastic that is designed to attach to the back of an iPod Touch 4G MP3 music player. The company received word from consumers — 100 users said the product became warm to the touch, in 44 cases the product became deformed and there were nine reports of people receiving minor burns.
Only cases with numbers TR113 to TR120 are subjected to the recall. They were sold at B&H Photo, Barnes & Noble, InMotion Entertainment, J&R Music World, Marine Corps Exchange stores, Amazon.com and morphie.com for $50 since April.
A second product — the Rocketfish Model RF-KL12 battery case for the iPhone 3G and 3GS was recently recalled after consumers found that the battery case can overheat and cause a fire hazard while its charging.
The product was imported from China by Best Buy and more than 31,000 have been sold nationwide. In 14 instances, people found that the battery case that is designed to hold the phone and comes with a built-in battery overheated. There were four reports of minor property damage and three situations where a person received minor injuries.
The products were sold exclusively at Best Buy from April 2010 to September
2011 and sold for between $10 and $60. The CPSC recommends not using the
product and contacting Best Buy for a refund and instructions on how to
return the product.
The Ferraro Law Firm represents people injured by recalled or defective products throughout the country. Call (888) 554-2030 for a free and confidential consultation. Offices in Miami, Washington, D.C., and New York City.

OCC Bulletin 2011-33| July 28, 2011
OTS Integration Pursuant to the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act: Interim Final Rule
Chief Executive Officers of All National Banks and Federal Savings Associations, Department and Division Heads, All Examining Personnel, and Other Interested Parties
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has issued an interim final rule and request for comments that republishes those Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) regulations that the OCC has authority to promulgate and enforce as of July 21, 2011. Under the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, P.L. 111–203 (Dodd–Frank Act), the OCC assumed responsibility from the OTS on July 21 for the ongoing examination, supervision, and regulation of federal savings associations and rulemaking for all savings associations, state and federal. This interim final rule was effective on July 21 and will be published in the Federal Register on August 9. The comment period will close on October 11.
This rule renumbers and issues these former OTS regulations as new OCC regulations in chapter I of title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations, with nomenclature and other technical amendments to reflect OCC supervision of federal savings associations. The preamble to the interim final rule describes other changes the OCC has made to the former OTS rules to implement provisions of the Dodd–Frank Act or to delete obsolete references. For OCC supervision of federal savings associations, these newly issued OCC regulations will supersede OTS regulations, as provided by the Dodd–Frank Act.
The OTS regulations are set out in chapter V of title 12 as parts 500 through 591. To reduce confusion and to assist the thrift industry, the OCC has preserved when possible in these new rules the OTS's numbering system by publishing these regulations with OCC part numbers that correspond to the former OTS rules, specifically, by changing the "5" to a "1". For example, 12 CFR 545 is republished as 12 CFR 145. The preamble to the interim final rule contains a redesignation table indicating how the newly issued OCC rules correspond to the former OTS rules. OTS regulations in chapter V of title 12 that will be unnecessary following the transfer date, or that are superseded by this rulemaking or other provisions of the Dodd–Frank Act, will be repealed at a later date.
This interim final rule is part of a larger OCC review of OCC and OTS regulations to determine what changes are needed for the transition to OCC supervision of federal savings associations. The OCC previously issued a final rule amending OCC regulations governing organization and functions, availability and release of information, post-employment restrictions for senior examiners, assessment of fees, and preemption and visitorial powers to incorporate the OCC's supervision of federal savings associations and other Dodd–Frank Act provisions. See 76 FR 43549 (July 21, 2011). As a continuation of this review, the OCC will consider more comprehensive and substantive amendments to the republished regulations, as appropriate, later this year.
For questions concerning this bulletin, contact to the Chief National Bank Examiner's Office at (202) 649-6550.

Many sectors that used to provide a lot of IT jobs are shrinking. For example, the US manufacturing sector continues to contract, whether measured by employment or by the number of facilities where products are made.1 IT professionals may well wonder whether job growth with producers, rather than consumer-facing businesses, is a thing of the past.
Accenture research reveals grounds for a more optimistic view. It starts with the vast opportunity represented by the IIoT—the emerging universe of intelligent products, processes and services.
The IIoT spans industries representing 62 percent of GDP among G20 nations according to Oxford Economics,2 including manufacturers, utilities, mining companies, food and energy producers, and their business customers in transportation, logistics and healthcare. In an Accenture survey, 87 percent of executives said the Industrial Internet will help drive long-term job growth.3 It's easy to understand their enthusiasm: IIoT products and services will contribute between $10.6 trillion and $14.2 trillion to global GDP by 2030, according to research by our colleagues at the Accenture Institute for High Performance.4
What does this mean for IT professionals? The IIoT service sector, home to the software services that will drive tomorrow's smart industrial equipment, is creating whole new categories of jobs for those in IT. Companies will need technologists to write applications, connect and repair equipment, and integrate the information coursing through machinery, factories and supply chains.Through our research on Industrial Internet pioneers, we have identified three job categories that will be in high demand in this emerging sector.

The Net Operating Loss Deduction
Presented by Mr. Favret before the West Virginia
Tax Institute, Charleston — December, 1955
The net operating loss deduction is a subject which is both important
and somewhat complicated. Its importance lies in the fact that it is perhaps the principal means by which the Government shares in the adversity as well as prosperity of a taxpayer. The importance of the deduction is emphasized by the fact that it frequently arises at a crucial period in which a refund of income taxes is a prime consideration in financing a business. Another important aspect of the deduction is that it minimizes the importance of precise allocations of income or deductions
between different years.
The complications arise from the fact that the determination of the deduction requires a series of very precisely defined and inter-related
computations involving several years under, at the present time, at least two and sometimes more tax laws.
The net operating loss deduction was first provided by the Revenue Act of 1939, which allowed a carry-over of two years with no carryback.
The Revenue Act of 1942 added the carry-back concept. The carry-back and carry-over periods were further amended by the Revenue
Acts of 1950 and 1951 and the Technical Changes Act of 1953. After the latest amendment the Internal Revenue Code of 1939 permitted a one year carry-back and a five year carry-over. The method of computation
remained substantially unchanged until 1954.
The Internal Revenue Code of 1954 made some rather substantial changes with respect to the net operating loss deduction. In general, the 1954 Code extended the carry-back period to two years, liberalized the computation, and attempted to add more certainty with respect to the carry-over to successor corporations and the limitations on acquisitions
of businesses for the purpose of securing such carry-overs. One of the more liberal features which is of particular interest in states such as West Virginia, which are rich in natural resources, is the elimination of the adjustments required with respect to percentage depletion.
In this discussion we will give attention first to the matter of

I thought first that you made a version that you wanted to be more it's own thing using other channels and not using murga-linux forum as tjhe base?
Just my naive wild guessing. Now I know I where wrong about that. thanks for your understanding
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum

Oh no, not another Yankie wannabe! They just don't get the message, do they! About time that nation ditched capitalism and taught Plato at school? Why is it that all the great philosopher throughout history sing the same song.
Good grief - he's a Brit. Told you Maggie was an utter disaster. Ronnies' legacy runs deep and wide over here. We're awash with Establishment chinless wonders of all political shades.

Comprehension problems again? I never miss an opportunity to point out the appalling mess our Establishment and Maggie have landed us in. As for Cameron & Osbourne, a more useless bunch of Etonian toffs you will look hard to find - totally worthless.
You don't see us slamming yours!
Not true - you just read the wrong garbage. I know your country; I've lived and worked there. How about you? I know both nations inside out, all their warts and pimples, the corrupt politicians, even more corrupt financiers, the gormless pen-pushers - time for the proletariat to rise up and crush the goons on

In the meantime, read what is written,

I do understand. Politics isn't Puppy. Focus should be on Puppy. Not our political views. They should be kept to ourselves unless in Offtopic posts. Just because I am a conservative who believes in the open market society I don't have to keep slamming leftwing socialists. Their opinion is theirs and mine is mine. They can live theirs and I won't slam them for their beliefs. It is funny how the most intolerant people I ever come in contact with are the liberals. Sorry to post this here, but I get tired of people putting politics into Puppy. And if someone wants to make money off Puppy, that is their right. But they surely should give credit where credit is due. Thanks, Rob

Not a bit, but why 4.0?
Not to forget its urmama Jemimah and yourself. Thanks to the whole lot of ye.
We all ride free in a sense on the broad backs of the developers, make subdistros and try to introduce them to as many people as we can. The fine line is most of us do it for the fun of it and because we believe in the soundness of it, and try to give back a bit when we can.
A broader question I think worth discussing here or somewhere is what we can all do to help prolong the run of Carolina. She's too good to let go even if wary/racey are scuppered.

Weighing in a little here...
Been on Saluki 021 for a long time now, very much like it, although I'm ready for a change...
Lina 0.0.7rc4 and Simplicity were both tested last night
Without doing an in depth test, only spent ten minutes on each, Lina is much much better, with better polish and finish.
Simplicity looks like it is made from an early Beta...
As to these guys wanting to make money from it, good on them, give it a go. It's a shame they don't credit Carolina on their website, but upon boot, it shows up as booting LinaLite, so they haven't hidden it well, and probably won't make much money.
Being that they're offering it for free anyway, what's the problem to ask for donations for their time in modifying and hosting?

Post subject: Simplicity
My two cents as far as Simplicity is concerned...more power to them.
Carolina is open-source, so there's no hard feelings as far as that goes. If someone can make a buck on it, then so be it. If they can't (and by the looks of the responses on their forum) then it probably isn't worth the buck.
If anything, it's flattering that someone finds it useful. But as far as giving credit is concerned, credit should go to jemimah. Because without jemimah's work on Saluki, Carolina (and 'lina-lite) wouldn't have been possible in the 1st place. It must be remembered that the only reason for Carolina coming to fruition was that Carolina was originally developed to fill the void that was left when jemimah chose to stop development on Saluki; had jemimah continued Saluki development, Carolina would never have come about. 'lina-lite was done as an offshoot to provide advanced users with a lighter version of Carolina that could be more readily customized to their needs.

Another thing concerning credits about Carolina...at present, all of the development is currently being done by rg66 and Geoffery. And they're doing a bang-up job. But it must be remembered that Carolina came to be because of jemimah's excellent work. And we can't be too full of ourselves without mentioning pemasu's help....Carolina-001 would've been dead in the water without pemasu's intervention. We can't forget that fact...without pemasu's intervention, Carolina would've been DOA.

Plagiarism is abhorred in academia. Equally, fraud - Piltdown Man, anyone? It's not the copying that upsets people but the failure to acknowledge the efforts of those that came before. This is such a case, aggravated by an inappropriate choice of baseline and not recognising that previous attempts to monetise free OSes have failed miserably. Sadly, with the advent of the InterWeb, the appearance of cut-and-paste PhD theses have blossomed, along with ghost scripted, paid-for tomes. Some aspects of our mutual societies seem to move in undesirable directions. Perhaps it always was so?
As for the 'politics', those espousing any of the Abrahamic faiths should revise Chapter two, be mindful of the seven deadly sins, notably greed, and be guided by the examples of the great prophets and philosophers . Others have their own codes to abide by. Each according to their needs, each according to their ability to pay/contribute. Capitalism moves apart the 'haves' and' have-nots'; winner-and-loser philosophies are doomed in the longer term. That fact has been recognised for millennia.
Whatever, Jemimah, Elroy, Geoffrey and rg66 should stand proud. We are grateful.

Stephen Starr's Buddakan at The Playground instantly transports Atlantic City guests to an ancient Chinese village complete with rock gardens, thatched roofs and a dramatic twilight sky. A gigantic golden Buddha gazes over the 26-seat communal table made of glowing alabaster resin. With its dreamlike ambiance, Buddakan offers an enchanting fine dining setting perfect for special nights out or even special events.
The menu portrays an innovative interpretation of modern Asian cuisine that matches the décor in terms of creativity and inspiration. Buddakan's signature dishes include char grilled aged beef with Szechuan fries and a watercress salad and edamame ravioli in a Sauternes-shallot broth. Guests will feel relaxed and indulged in this exotic and comfortable environment at this Caesars Atlantic City pan-Asian restaurant.
"Stephen Starr's "phenomenal" Pan-Asian "scene" in AC's Pier at Caesars (a spin-off of the Philly and Manhattan outposts) offers "beautifully realized" fusion specialties in an "over-the-top" setting complete with a "giant" gilded Buddha and "glorious" communal table..."
"The dining style is sharing plates, which is quite a bargain in a town where restaurant prices can go through the roof."
"After conquering Manhattan, restauranteur Stephen Starr brought his uber-hip pan-Asian cuisine south to the Pier Shops at Caesars…"

The first year of a pilot program offering price protection for pulse crops appears to have been a success for Pacific Northwest growers, industry and USDA officials say.
The USDA Risk Management recently announced harvest prices:
• 26 cents per pound for spring large Kabuli chickpeas.
• 22 cents per pound for spring small Kabuli chickpeas.
• 14 cents per pound for smooth green and yellow peas.
• 28 cents per pound for spring lentils.
Tim McGreevy, CEO of the USA Dry Pea and Lentil Council, said a revenue option has become critical for pulse farmers to plan their risk management. Pulse crops compete for spring acreage with wheat and barley, which also have revenue insurance options.
"The price volatility over the past five years has been pretty incredible," McGreevy said. "Our grower has an opportunity to lock in some risk protection on downside revenue risk, instead of what we've had traditionally, which has been just a yield-based risk management tool."
Dave Paul, director of the risk management agency office in Spokane Valley, Wash., reported record participation in the pilot program, with more than 310,000 acres insured in the Pacific Northwest, about half of the revenue coverage. That's the highest amount in history under the dry pea program, which previously had only yield protection.
The council collects and submits data to determine the harvest price.
Paul encouraged farmers to look at their guarantee to see if they have a loss. Producers are insured based on their average yield multiplied by the projected price. Farmers then multiply their harvested production and harvest price. If the harvest number falls below the insurance guarantee, they collect an indemnity payment.
Some pulses trended downward through the year.
Paul said producers have about 60 days after the Dec. 16 harvest price announcement to submit a loss claim. He expects reports of poor yields across the region.
"Even if you had an average yield, there's a potential of collecting a payment on some of these chickpeas, just because the price dropped so much," Paul said.
In 2014, the amount of coverage a producer can buy will increase. In 2013, it was limited to 75 percent of their average yield. That number is increasing to 85 percent of average yield, comparable to wheat, barley and other crops, Paul said.
McGreevy said roughly 50 percent of overall acreage in the Pacific Northwest was in the program in its first year, and he expects participation levels to increase.
It's too soon to tell whether acres will also increase as a result of the program, but McGreevy said dry peas, chickpeas and lentils are holding their own against grains.
Paul will make a formal evaluation and recommendation whether to continue the pilot program after three years. The risk management agency board is likely to make a final decision in four or five years, he said.
The agency will next announce projected prices in March 2014.

"Titanic" 3D sunk its competition during the April 10-15 overseas frame, collecting $98.9 million, with China contributing a jaw-dropping $67 million in six days. The 3D re-do reached $157 million internationally from 69 territories, pushing its lifetime theatrical cume past the $2 billion mark globally.
Weekend grosses for "Titanic" are calculated starting April 13 for the majority of territories; pic's April 10 bow in China was set by China Film.
"Titanic" 3D, which Fox Intl. is distributing internationally, scored China's biggest-ever opening, beating the local bow of "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" ($56 million). The 3D conversion of "Titanic" has outstripped the 1997 pic's original theatrical cume in China by more than 50%.
While the practice of converting pics to 3D is still relatively new for Hollywood — none of the three most recent 3D conversions ("The Lion King," "Beauty and the Beast" and "Star Wars: Episode I") were released in China — "Titanic's" success there is promising news for future conversions, especially considering the nation's increased quota among 3D and premium large-format pics.
Popular on Variety
All other markets for "Titanic" 3D paled by comparison, with Russia at $3.2 million, followed by the U.K., Italy and France, all of which contributed just shy of $3 million apiece.
Universal's "Battleship," meanwhile, kickstarted its worldwide run ahead of its domestic May 18 opening, with an impressive $55.2 million from only 26 markets. The pic bowed best in South Korea, with roughly $8 million, followed by Blighty at north of $6 million. The U tentpole should have a solid second stanza as it expands into 24 additional markets, including China and Russia.

Research Shows $100 Billion Ed. Stimulus Likely Hurting Economy
Tomorrow morning, the president's Council of Economic Advisers will release a report assessing the short and long‐term effects of the stimulus bill on the U.S. economy. As with previous iterations, this report will attempt to forecast overall effects of the stimulus across its many different components and the different economic sectors it targets. In doing so, it ignores the clearest research findings available pertaining to a key portion of the stimulus: k‑12 education.
The president has committed $100 billion in new money to the nation's public school systems, and required that states accepting the funds promise not to reduce their own k‑12 spending. The official argument for this measure is that higher school spending will accelerate U.S. economic growth. But a July 2008 study in the Journal of Policy Sciences finds that, to the authors' own surprise, higher spending on public schooling is associated with lower subsequent economic growth. Spending more on public schools hurts the U.S. economy.
How is that possible? There is little debate in academic circles that raising human capital — improving the skills and knowledge of workers — boosts productivity. So an obvious interpretation of the JPS study is that raising public school spending must not increase human capital. While this possibility surprised study authors Norman Baldwin and Stephen Borrelli, it is consistent with the data on U.S. educational productivity over the past two generations.
Since 1970, inflation adjusted public school spending has more than doubled. Over the same period, achievement of students at the end of high school has stagnated according to the Department of Education's own long term National Assessment of Educational Progress. Meanwhile, the high school graduation rate has declined by 4 or 5%, according to Nobel laureate economist James Heckman. So the only thing higher public school spending has accomplished is to raise taxes by about $300 billion annually, without improving outcomes.
The fact that more schooling without more learning is not a recipe for economic growth is confirmed by the independent empirical work of economists Eric Hanushek and Ludger Woessmann. Their key finding is that academic achievement, not schooling per se, is what matters to economic growth.
Based on this body of research, the president's decision to pump $100 billion into existing public school systems is likely slowing the U.S. economic recovery.

A personal report from the 2020 CCA Awards.
Pat is curiously confident and upbeat for a man just released from a mental hospital and under a restraining order from his wife. That's because he's determined to repair the damage he's done to his life and surprise everyone by moving ever onward and upward. His motto is, "Excelsior!" What stage of bipolar disorder would you guess he's in?
At the top of his priority list is rebuilding his marriage with his wife; after they split, he beat up her new boyfriend, but what's past is past. Pat (Bradley Cooper) assures his parents, Pat Sr. and Dolores (Robert De Niro and Jacki Weaver), that all will be well. They're not so sure. One of the charms of "Silver Linings Playbook," the screwy new comedy by David O. Russell, is how Dolores is a sane and caring woman and has had long experience in dealing with compulsive behavior, because her husband is a fanatic fan of the Philadelphia Eagles. Having been banned from the Eagles' stadium for fighting, Pat Sr. now focuses uneasily on his TV set, convinced that the Eagles will win only if his several superstitions are fulfilled.
Pat Jr. in desperation is drawn toward Tiffany (2010 Oscar nominee Jennifer Lawrence), a young widow in the neighborhood. Lawrence appears here much transformed from the woman we saw in "Winter's Bone" and "The Hunger Games." Still only 22, she looks softer, sweeter and somehow prettier than before, yet she plays Tiffany as all edges and elbows, who can understand Pat because she's crazy herself. People call her a slut, and she agrees. She's pissed off about Pat because he continues to obsess about his ex-wife — and also because much of her value to him is that's she's still in contact with the other woman.
In supporting roles, we meet Danny (Chris Tucker), Pat's fellow patient at the hospital, and Dr. Cliff Patel (Anupam Kher), his shrink. Danny's worried that Pat's off his meds. Dr. Patel plays an increasingly common type in American movies, the Indian immigrant who seems to embody certain stereotypes and then is revealed to be completely assimilated.
Tiffany thinks she and Pat should have sex. Pat objects. He doesn't want to be unfaithful to his ex-wife. Tiffany's eyes narrow. We realize Pat doesn't have a chance. This all builds up into a classic screwball comedy situation in which two bets are inspired — one involving an Eagles-Cowboys game and the other involving a ballroom dancing contest that Tiffany has forced Pat to join her in with a form of emotional blackmail.
How these bets play out I will, of course, not hint. I will note that Pat, in keeping with family tradition, gets in trouble at the game for fighting. Don't you sometimes wish movies watched other movies? Imagine Pat running into the Patton Oswalt character from "Big Fan." How cool would that be?
I love actors. I've been on an almost lifelong journey with Robert De Niro, and feel intimately familiar with him as an actor (not as a person). Here his work unobtrusively charmed my socks off. He's harmlessly obsessed with the Eagles, gratefully in love with his wife and cluelessly supportive of his son, who he doesn't realize is an apple who has fallen very close to the tree.
One of the ingenious and sort of brave accomplishments of Russell's screenplay (inspired by a novel by Matthew Quick) is the way it requires both father and son to face and deal with their mental problems and against all odds finds a way to do that through both an Eagles game and a dance contest. We're fully aware of the plot conventions at work here, the wheels and gears churning within the machinery, but with these actors, this velocity and the oblique economy of the dialogue, we realize we don't often see it done this well. "Silver Linings Playbook" is so good, it could almost be a terrific old classic.
